Del Cameron has been suspended from Twitter for soliciting hacked materials from the person who hacked Matt Walsh's phone. This is not remotely the same thing as the hacking of Hunter Biden's laptop, which was covered up for years by the New York Post and then became public knowledge when it was leaked to the public by an anonymous hacker. And yet, this is just another day in the life of Matt Walsh, who has been targeted by the far-left for his opposition to the progressive agenda of the Democratic National Committee and other establishment media outlets. Matt Walsh has been the subject of numerous death threats, and has had to hire a full-time security guard on his house in order to protect himself and his family from the increasing number of threats he receives from the far left. Matt's show has now been demonetized on YouTube, and he is now broadcasting his entire show for free on Daily Wire Plus, which means he will no longer be able to do his show on the network's most popular streaming platform, YouTube, where he can be watched by millions of people across the world. This is just the latest in a growing list of scandals involving the right-wing commentator Matt Walsh and his show, and it's no surprise that he's been the target of death threats and cyber-harassment from far-Left extremists across the political spectrum, including the Daily Wire and other media outlets such as The New York Times, CNN, NBC, CBS, and the Daily Show with John Avril Lavigne. and the BBC, among other outlets, among others. Today's After Show is hosted by Daily Wire's Peter Bergen and Jeremy Boring, and hosted by Alex Blumbergen, and features Matt Walsh on his new book, "Hacking Matt Walsh." and Matt's new podcast, "The Truth or Falsehoods." and more!

00:00:00.000Alrighty, so we begin with updates on my friend Matt Walsh.
00:00:03.000So as you know, Matt Walsh had his phone hacked.
00:00:06.000He actually had his SIM card duplicated.
00:00:09.000The suggestion is that somebody actually got access to either Matt's phone directly or somebody called up the phone company, got a duplicate SIM card sent to him.
00:00:17.000This person was then able to access All of Matt's emails for the last 20 years or so and it appears that things are now under control to the extent that he's no longer being hacked.
00:00:29.000But one of the pieces of fallout from all of this is that a reporter, a supposed reporter, a pseudo reporter from Wired has now been permanently suspended from Twitter.
00:00:38.000And the reason he was permanently suspended from Twitter is because He had actively solicited hacked materials from the person who was hacking Matt's phone.
00:00:48.000He literally, like, asked, just asked for the materials.
00:00:52.000He tweeted out, spoke with a hacker who says he compromised Matt Walsh's account and who was able to supply some convincing proof they'd gained access to his personal email account.
00:01:06.000And then he said, prove me wrong, kids.
00:01:07.000Send Matt Walsh DMs to dellcameron at wired.com.
00:01:11.000Well, this violates pretty much all of Twitter's rules.
00:01:14.000You're not allowed to solicit hacked materials from people.
00:01:17.000You're not allowed to ask people to do a hack.
00:01:21.000So he was permanently suspended and this led to NBC's Ben Collins spreading misinformation, this is what he does, about the suspension of the Wired writer, suggesting that what happened here in the suspension, the permanent suspension, of Del Cameron is the same thing that happened when the Hunter Biden story was silenced by all of social media in October of 2020.
00:01:42.000What happened with Hunter Biden is that Hunter Biden literally left his laptop at a repair shop, a computer repair shop, For years on end, at which point it became property of the shop, and then those materials ended up in the public view and were reported on by the New York Post.
00:01:56.000That is not remotely the same thing as the New York Post actually soliciting hacked materials in criminal fashion.
00:02:01.000There may be actual criminal liability, certainly for the hacker.
00:02:03.000We'll see about for any reporter who is involved in actually soliciting this sort of activity.
00:02:08.000This is not the only challenge that Matt is facing at present.
00:02:12.000Apparently, YouTube has now demonetized Matt's show entirely.
00:02:16.000And this means that Matt is now going to be shifting his show to Twitter.
00:02:20.000He's going to be broadcasting his entire show on Twitter now.
00:02:22.000He's also going to be broadcasting his entire show for free over at dailywireplus.com.
00:02:25.000So you should go over there and to support Matt's show, you should actually become a member at dailywireplus.com.
00:02:30.000But this is just part and parcel, unfortunately, of what it means to be a prominent right-wing commentator in the United States these days.
00:02:44.000Literally, they took marbles and rolled them all over the floor in an attempt to get people to slip and fall as they were walking into the talk.
00:02:51.000Of course, Matt has been the victim of an extraordinary number of death threats.
00:02:56.000He's had to have full-time security on his house.
00:02:57.000He's had to actually cancel trips in order to protect his family.
00:03:01.000This is unfortunately what it means to now oppose the far-left agenda and do so very publicly and attempt to effectuate change.
00:03:09.000It's hard to think of anybody in American life who's effectuated more change in the last couple of years than Matt Walsh has.
00:03:14.000My co-founder here at Daily Wire, Jeremy Boring.
00:03:18.000He tweeted out a thread last night that's worth going through.
00:03:42.000This hack, as terrible and invasive as it is, is just another day at the office for us.
00:03:45.000Here's a brief look at just the last 48 hours at Daily Wire.
00:03:48.000First, Matt Walsh was demonetized on YouTube for violating some opaque, arbitrarily applied standard or another related to speaking the biological truth about Dylan Mulvaney.
00:03:55.000I can't be more specific because the capriciousness is the point for these platforms.
00:03:58.000Just 24 hours later, Brett Cooper was permanently banned from TikTok.
00:04:08.000They're certainly not telling us why Brett Cooper was banned permanently from TikTok.
00:04:12.000At the exact moment that Matt Walsh was being hacked by criminals, Michael Knowles was being evacuated from University of Pittsburgh because of a violent riot protesting his speech in which trans activists and sundry other leftists burned Michael in effigy and tussled with police.
00:04:27.000He says tech giants like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and until Elon Musk were to check Twitter, flagging, banning, throttling, shadowbanning, and demonetizing us is a constant occurrence.
00:04:36.000Almost all the fact-checks are removed on appeal, by the way, but not before they have the desired effect of stunting our reach and effectiveness and making it impossible to earn revenue.
00:04:42.000Billionaire-funded nonprofits like Media Matters for America pay people to post out-of-context clips from our show and pressure advertisers not to spend money with us.
00:04:49.000The entire ad industry creates bogus, euphemistic policies to, quote-unquote, protect brand safety by discouraging advertising on shows with controversial political opinions.
00:04:57.000If you're openly pro-choice, that's not controversial.
00:04:59.000If you're pro-life, that is, which means we don't get any so-called brand advertisers, the ones who pay almost double.
00:05:05.000If we were on the left and our positions were certified brand safe, we would make almost twice as much money.
00:05:10.000The advertisers we do get have to be brave enough to stand up against all of the organized pressure that comes their way.
00:05:14.000And all this comes, as Jeremy points out, while dealing with organizations like HubSpot and JW Player and Eventbrite and other back-end infrastructure companies who take our money and then decide they're not going to service us.
00:05:28.000They hate us because we won't do what they say.
00:05:30.000The fact is that Daily Wire, and this is true, the majority controlling interest in this company is held by me, that'd be Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring and Caleb Robinson.
00:05:38.000The three of us own the controlling share of Daily Wire.
00:05:41.000No investor, no board of directors can tell us what to do.
00:05:44.000And we're not going to let the machinations of the left force our hand.
00:05:48.000We're going to use our power to push for change on all of these platforms and to hold these institutions accountable.
00:05:55.000We'll press our claims in court through government with the public.
00:05:58.000But the fact is that this is the challenge that the right is up against in the public sphere, and Matt is just the latest canary in the coal mine for how the left would act if they had total power in the United States.
00:06:09.000In just one second, we'll get to an extraordinary and shocking dichotomy between how Joe Biden treats victims of gun crime.
00:06:17.000It's time to talk to you about DailyWire's most trusted privacy partner and premier sponsor of my show, ExpressVPN.
00:06:21.000So ExpressVPN, one of the places I use to help keep my phone safe.
00:06:25.000For example, are you aware your browsing data is constantly being tracked and monitored?
00:06:28.000Have you ever stopped to think about who has access to that information, what they might be doing with it?
00:06:32.000If you're like most people, you probably haven't given this a ton of thought.
00:06:34.000The truth is your browsing data can reveal a lot about you, your interests, habits, locations, even your identity.
00:06:39.000Every time you visit a website, click on a link, or make a purchase online, you're leaving a digital trail that can be monetized by advertisers and data brokers.
00:06:46.000They use that information to target you with ads and promotions tailored specifically to you.
00:06:49.000The more data they have, the more accurately they can target you.
00:06:51.000This is just one of the reasons I use ExpressVPN.
00:06:54.000ExpressVPN encrypts my internet traffic, hides my browsing data from prying eyes, which makes it way more difficult for anybody to intercept my data or track my activity online.
00:07:01.000From hackers, to the ad agencies, to big tech, to the government.
00:07:39.000Now, maybe Ralph Yarle deserves, like, as a person, to visit the White House, but not for the reason why he's being invited to the White House.
00:07:45.000He's being invited to the White House because he got shot by a white guy.
00:07:48.000He's a 16-year-old black kid, and he knocked on the wrong door, and an 84-year-old crazed homeowner, apparently, shot him twice through the door.
00:07:55.000Shot him once in the head and once in the arm.
00:07:58.000And because he is black, and because the shooter is white, Ralph Yarle gets a White House invite.
00:08:11.000He is the black Georgian who was jogging through the neighborhood or alternatively running from some sort of empty lot, like a house under construction.
00:08:22.000And he was confronted by some white guys in a truck who attempted to block his pathway.
00:08:27.000They struggled over a gun and then he got shot.
00:08:29.000And those guys are in jail for first degree murder.
00:08:33.000Well, now they're meeting together to talk about, you know, the inherent racism of American society, presumably, and all the rest of this.
00:08:40.000And Joe Biden tweeted out about all of this.
00:08:43.000Joe Biden has decided that Ralph Yarle should visit the White House.
00:08:46.000It's just a very moving display from the President of the United States.
00:08:51.000His tweet is, you know, typical Joe Biden.
00:08:55.000He suggests about gun violence, but really we know that this is about race because there are certain people he's not inviting to the White House.
00:09:01.000I mean, for example, some of the people he's inviting to the White House to talk about gun violence, not the families of the actual victims of the national shooter who shot a bunch of Christian kids.
00:09:10.000Those families still have not been invited.
00:09:13.000The people who have been invited are, of course, the Tennessee Three.
00:09:16.000According to the New York Post, President Biden has invited the three Tennessee Democrats who faced expulsion votes to the White House.
00:09:22.000A day after two of them were ousted from the state legislation for protesting against gun violence.
00:09:27.000This goes back to about a week and a half ago.
00:09:30.000The White House still, at that point, had not invited any of the families of the victims in the Covenant school shooting.
00:09:37.000And that happens to be the case still.
00:09:39.000So people who get invited to the White House include people like Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, two of the three, Tennessee three, grandstanding racial conflagrationist idiots in Tennessee.
00:09:51.000And also, Ralph Yarle, a black victim of a white shooter, All of this, of course, is because of race.
00:10:01.000The narrative for the White House is that if you are a minority in the United States, you are inherently victimized by the white supremacist system.
00:10:07.000And therefore, if we can use you as sort of the case par exemplar, that this is going to be the case that shows that our agenda is real, you will get an invite to the White House.
00:10:19.000If it's not, well, we don't care about you at that point.
00:10:22.000And Corinne Jean-Pierre was asked directly about this.
00:10:24.000She's like, so why is it that the national victims still haven't been invited, but pretty much everybody else is being, so long as they have the right color?
00:11:04.000Yes, getting things done means inviting a couple of grandstanding morons from Tennessee, cosplaying the revolution, and also inviting a 16-year-old black kid who got shot by a white homeowner.
00:11:24.000Yarle's family attorney, he says that what they really need to push for is legislation in Missouri to protect blackness.
00:11:31.000Here is the family attorney for Ralph Yarle.
00:11:34.000White 84-year-old man charged with shooting and wounding a black teenager last week in Kansas City, Missouri, freed last night on bond, due in court today.
00:11:41.000We need new legislation to protect blackness in this country because blackness is under attack.
00:11:57.000Now, as we've discussed a couple of days ago, we went through all the statistics on interracial violence in the United States with regard to black and white.
00:12:04.000In 2019, 84% of all violent crimes committed between blacks and whites was committed by blacks against whites.
00:12:10.000But we don't talk about any of that sort of stuff because it's uncomfortable.
00:12:13.000So instead, we have to promote the agenda, which is why, again, Joe Biden is inviting idiots.
00:13:40.000And by the way, has anybody asked the families of the victims whether they are okay with Justin Jones carrying graves to symbolize, like, actual coffins, child-sized coffins to symbolize their kids?
00:14:11.000Say Ralph to Ralph who's 16 that you are a child and you are a young man who we should have protected and that this system has failed to protect that our politics have failed to protect and you deserve better than that and that no gun is worth your life no bullet no worship of this gun culture is worth your life and your well-being and so I hope that you recover and and
00:14:35.000I hope that his family knows that we stand with them and that we're sending them strength and encouragement from Tennessee, whether from here or there, you know, that we stand together and that we are going to do this and that until this attack against a young black man is treated as abhorrent, as the attack if it was a young white man, that we who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.
00:15:21.000There's a very obvious reason why this person is not going to be.
00:15:24.000We're going to mention his name on the show.
00:15:25.000You're not going to know it tomorrow because the media are going to stop saying it.
00:15:28.000Because this is not an important person.
00:15:30.000The way we can tell whether somebody is important in the mainstream media is whether it fits the narrative or if it doesn't fit the narrative.
00:15:35.000You know the names of black victims of white perps.
00:15:54.000First, let's talk about the fact that there are a lot of big wireless companies out there, and they lock you into these horrendous contracts.
00:15:59.000And then when you try to get out of them early, they tack on these giant charges to punish you.
00:16:03.000Instead, you need to switch over to PeerTalk the way that I did.
00:16:06.000There are no hidden fees, no contracts, no hassle.
00:16:08.000PeerTalk has a range of affordable plans to choose from.
00:16:10.000You can find the perfect option for your needs, like unlimited talk, text, plenty of data for just $30 a month.
00:16:14.000Pure Talk saves the average family over $900 a year.
00:16:17.000Think about what you could do with that money.
00:16:18.000But you don't get chief inconsistent service.
00:16:21.000With Pure Talk, you're getting the same exact coverage you'd get from one of the big guys because they use the same tower network at half the rate you are currently paying.
00:16:42.000When you become a PeerTalk customer, you're given the option to support America's Warrior Partnership.
00:16:46.000It's an organization that works to support Okay, so now I'm going to tell you a story.
00:16:58.000It's a story that you don't know and you're not going to hear again, probably for the rest of time.
00:17:02.000Because, again, it doesn't fit the narrative and that's all that matters to our media.
00:17:06.000This is not a hero of the Republic in the way that Ralph Yarle is now a hero.
00:17:09.000Again, Ralph Yarle sounds like kind of an extraordinary kid, but he should be celebrated because he's an extraordinary kid, not because he got shot by an old white guy.
00:17:23.000Hey, Blake Mose is a Home Depot security guard.
00:17:27.000And as the New York Post reports, a California Home Depot security guard and Boy Scout leader was murdered Tuesday when he tried to stop a woman from stealing an electrical item before she and her boyfriend fled with their toddler in the back of the car.
00:17:40.000Blake Mose, 26, caught Benicia Knapps allegedly in the process of snatching what may have been a phone charger from the store shelves around 2.15 p.m., according to Pleasanton Police.
00:17:47.000A struggle ensued after Mose chased her to the store's loading dock, but Knapps fired her gun and ran off, cops allege.
00:17:54.000Knapps, 32, allegedly escaped into a getaway car driven by her boyfriend, David Guillory, 31, with her two-year-old child in the backseat.
00:18:01.000As Mose heavily bled inside the home improvement store, he was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
00:18:07.000These are pictures of the perpetrators.
00:18:13.000By the way, these are the perfect specimens of wonderful humanity here.
00:18:17.000Not because of race, but because they are evil shooters who have a toddler in the back seat while they murder someone and steal a phone charger.
00:18:25.000But this is not a national, this is a local news story.
00:18:28.000Naps and Giller were stopped in Oakland, 20 miles from the Home Depot and arrested by deputies 15 minutes after the shooting.
00:18:33.000Naps, a licensed security guard with priors for theft, was charged with murder, robbery, child endangerment, and conspiracy.
00:18:40.000Hillary was arrested on a child endangerment charge and evading police and driving the wrong way.
00:18:45.000Naps was then placed on a mental hold after she choked herself with a seatbelt in the back of the Alameda Sheriff's Department police cruiser until she lost consciousness.
00:18:52.000Cops found a handgun at the intersection near the store.
00:18:54.000The Naps toddler was released to relatives.
00:18:56.000Apparently, Mose was an active community leader who had an interest in pursuing law enforcement as a career and had plans to get married this summer.
00:19:03.000Well, he won't be married, obviously, because he was murdered.
00:19:45.000This is all racial pandering nonsense.
00:19:48.000It all ties back into, all the way back to Ferguson.
00:19:51.000And the Trayvon Martin debate and Black Lives Matter riots of 2020.
00:19:55.000The narrative that the left has decided to draw is that America is in a battle between a white supremacist system that must be destroyed from within and minorities who are being victimized by that system.
00:20:06.000You are not getting an invite from the White House unless you are a black victim of a white crime.
00:20:11.000It does not matter that twice as many on a raw level, white people are killed by black people every year as black people are killed by white people every year in the United States.
00:20:18.000And if you draw that in proportion, it does not matter that if one out of every million white people shoots a black person and kills them in the United States, and 12 out of every million black people murders a white person in the United States, that disparity does not matter.
00:20:30.000The only thing that matters is the lie.
00:20:39.000In just a second, we'll get to Joe Biden, who's just falling apart.
00:20:41.000I mean, the man is falling apart first.
00:20:44.000All of this is enough to make you question the universe, but you have to reconnect with your faith if you wish to find meaning in your life.
00:20:50.000Regardless of your religion, we all need a little bit more connection in our life.

00:21:30.000That's actually part of the laws that govern our lives.
00:21:33.000But for a lot of Christians, it's hard to find time to pray during the day.

00:23:06.000The notion that billionaires pay 8% tax rate, that may be their overall tax rate because of capital gains, which are taxed differently than, for example, income.
00:23:14.000Billionaires largely don't earn their money through income.
00:23:17.000He's a liar, but he's also a mentally...
00:24:01.000He's talking to Casper the Friendly Ghost again.
00:24:03.000Hey, well, even as this occurs, there's new evidence emerging that Hunter Biden, his son, who may well have been the bag man for the entire Biden family, including Joe Biden.
00:24:12.000That dude has lived large for a long time, has Joe Biden.
00:24:14.000And the fact that he was casually corrupt for nearly his entire career.
00:24:17.000I mean, getting sweetheart deals from Delaware credit card companies, for example.
00:24:22.000All that gets ignored because obviously, sweet old man, Joe Biden.
00:24:28.000The attorney for an unnamed IRS criminal supervisory special agent says his client has now asked Congress for protection to speak out about allegations that a years-long, high-profile, politically sensitive investigation has been hindered by preferential treatment and politics, according to a letter obtained by CBS News.
00:24:42.000That investigation is the one probing potential tax crimes by Hunter Biden.
00:24:47.000My client wants to come forward to Congress, said attorney Mark Little, who's representing the agent.
00:24:51.000He discussed his client's allegations with CBS News Chief Investigative Correspondent Jim Axelrod in an exclusive interview.
00:24:57.000According to the lawyer, he's ready to be questioned about what he knows and what he experienced under the proper legal protections.
00:25:06.000The allegation here from the IRS whistleblower is that the tax investigation is basically being hamstrung by the Biden executive branch to protect Hunter.
00:25:18.000David C. Weiss, the Trump-appointed Delaware U.S.
00:25:20.000Attorney General overseeing Hunter Biden's probe, in his post to avoid appearances of interference, DOJ officials have vowed publicly to protect the probe from political interference.
00:25:29.000But the reality is that Weiss was basically a political appointee.
00:25:32.000I mean, he received endorsements from Senators Tom Carper and Chris Coons, who are both Democrats.
00:25:39.000attorneys appointed by Trump who were asked to resign, but not this guy.
00:25:42.000In the letter, Little, the lawyer, claims his client's information would contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee.
00:25:49.000In a March Senate hearing, AG Merrick Garland pledged he would not interfere with that investigation.
00:25:53.000He said, I promise to ensure he's able to carry out his investigation and that he be able to run it.
00:25:56.000So it'll be fascinating to see what exactly is the evidence that this person can provide.
00:26:02.000Regarding any sort of cover up at the IRS of the tax investigation.
00:26:05.000Meanwhile, the fact that Joe Biden is still traveling around with Hunter Biden just demonstrates the levels of insularity he feels from any sort of serious media scrutiny.
00:26:15.000Hunter Biden is one of the most disgusting people walking American politics today.
00:26:19.000I mean, he's a gross human being just by any stretch of the imagination.
00:26:23.000The latest evidence that he's a gross human being is a 2019 text conversation with his cousin, Caroline Biden.
00:26:52.000So first of all, totally unclear if he is, um, if he's talking about people that he wants to date or if he is talking about, you know, prostitutes, which he was very fond of using.
00:27:02.000There's a person who's engaged in, at least as a john, sex trafficking.
00:27:06.000And there's no, there's no doubt about that.
00:27:07.000I mean, there's literally pictures on his computer of him engaging in prostitution, of having sex with prostitutes and filming it and all the rest of it and doing drugs and apparently violating gun laws while doing all of these things.
00:27:20.000And violating, it appears, probably tax laws, and picking up bags of cash from foreign entities that mysteriously seem to disappear, and some of that money tends to make its way into the pockets of other Biden family members.
00:27:32.000And apparently that's still okay for Hunter to travel with Dad.
00:27:36.000That's how secure Joe Biden feels in the knowledge that the media will never actually cover this sort of stuff or dig into it.
00:27:42.000That's how secure he feels, that he's able to travel with Dad.
00:27:59.000Well, maybe this is one of the reasons why RFK Jr., who just announced that he's going to run for president, RFK Jr.
00:28:05.000is, for those who don't know, a radical environmentalist nut who spent most of his early career railing about how vaccines were causing childhood autism, the evidence for which is zero.
00:29:16.000Only two thirds of Democratic primary voters say they will vote for Joe Biden.
00:29:19.000That is a terrible number for an incumbent president Who, again, is sitting in the office right now.
00:29:27.000Kennedy, who, as I've said, is an environmentalist whack job, but also has said some things, like he was very, because he's skeptical of vaccines in general, he's also very skeptical of COVID vaccines.
00:29:37.000So he's saying things about COVID vaccines that were then being censored by Facebook and being censored by Twitter at the time and all this.
00:30:17.000But the fact that Robert Kennedy Jr., who's basically considered at the wild margins of American life, He's picking up 14% against Joe Biden.
00:32:55.000Go to Jeremy's chocolate dot com today.
00:32:58.000Well, meanwhile, our intrepidly foolish president of the United States, he's suggesting that we should just pass a clean debt ceiling increase.
00:33:09.000According to the Washington Post, Joe Biden on Wednesday rejected a Republican plan to slash government spending and raise the debt limit, assailing the proposals as wacko.
00:33:16.000And he said that they would cause a catastrophic government default.
00:33:32.000The debt ceiling plan would include cutting federal spending to 2022 levels, which, by the way, is extraordinarily high.
00:33:38.000Federal spending at 2022 levels is like insanely high, as in the highest in human history.
00:33:42.000Limiting growth in the budget to 1% per year.
00:33:46.000Which, uh, okay, like, I failed to see the problem.
00:33:49.000Repealing enhanced IRS enforcement funding because we don't need, you know, 87,000 more people working for the IRS.
00:33:57.000Undoing Joe Biden's federal student debt forgiveness because, of course, that's unconstitutional garbage.
00:34:02.000And rescinding unspent pandemic relief funds because, of course, if you haven't used the money already, then why exactly are we paying you?
00:34:08.000The pandemic ended, like, two years ago.
00:34:11.000So, this, which part of this is supposed to be super controversial?
00:34:16.000McCarthy told reporters that the bill would lift the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion or extend it through March 31st, whichever comes first.
00:34:24.000The 320-page bill, which was published moments after the speech, will be led by House Budget Committee Chair Jody Arrington, Republican of Texas.
00:34:43.000By the way, again, Joe Biden back during the 1990s voted against raising the debt ceiling unless it was actually accompanied by tax increases or certain cuts.
00:34:54.000Yeah, but this is the Democratic plan is just ignore reality and then get the voters to also ignore reality.
00:35:00.000After all, there's money enough for everyone if you are socialistic enough and you can borrow enough money.
00:35:05.000This apparently is why the Biden administration is now pushing a rule set to take effect that will force good credit homebuyers to pay more for their mortgages to subsidize the loans to higher-risk borrowers.
00:35:18.000Experts believe borrowers with a credit score of about 680 would pay around 40 bucks more per month on a $400,000 mortgage under rules from the Federal Housing Finance Agency that go into effect May 1st.
00:35:29.000Those costs will help subsidize people with lower credit ratings also looking for a mortgage.
00:35:34.000So, um, if you have good credit, and you've done your job by paying your bills, you now get to subsidize a bunch of people who don't pay their bills nearly as well.
00:35:42.000So they can buy houses they can't afford, and then presumably they'll default.
00:35:46.000Because that's the important thing, is to get people into houses they can't actually afford.
00:35:50.000Ian Wright, senior loan officer at Bay Equity Home Loans, says, quote, the changes don't make sense.
00:35:54.000Penalizing borrowers with larger down payments and credit scores will not go over well.
00:35:58.000It overcomplicates things for consumers during a process that already feels overwhelming.
00:36:02.000Confusing the borrower is never a good thing.
00:36:05.000The Federal Housing Finance Agency oversees federally backed home mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
00:36:11.000And again, they are pushing the idea that they are going to push people into buying houses they can't afford, paid for by other people.
00:36:19.000Which was exactly what led to the meltdown in 2007-2008.
00:36:22.000Subprime mortgages were essentially subsidized and backstopped by the federal government, particularly Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
00:36:28.000And people bought houses they couldn't afford on the notion that if, God forbid, they couldn't pay their bills, they could again resell the house because the market would continue to go up.
00:36:35.000Then the market didn't continue to go up.
00:36:36.000They were underwater and all the banks had to foreclose on the homes.
00:36:39.000And then because all of that bad debt had been spread throughout the economy with credit derivative swaps, it ended up basically melting down the economy, forcing things like TARP, the bailout plan.
00:36:48.000So Joe Biden wants to do that all again because there's no plan stupid enough that Joe Biden won't repeat it.
00:37:12.000Both the media and Donald Trump have decided this.
00:37:14.000Every story that's coming out from the mainstream media these days is talking about the inevitable failure of Ron DeSantis.
00:37:19.000It's headline after headline after headline, which suggests that they really, really do not want this guy to even run.
00:37:25.000There's a piece today from the Washington Post titled, After a High Flying Start, DeSantis Hits Stumbling Blocks on Road to 2024.
00:37:33.000Well, that's weird since he hasn't actually launched a campaign yet.
00:37:37.000And also, he's currently pulling About 16 points behind the former president of the United States, who is running again, and who has declared already.
00:37:47.000No other Republican candidate is clocking in the double digits.
00:37:50.000So, for a guy who's supposed to be failing, he doesn't seem to be failing all that badly.
00:37:55.000And then they quote Republican megadonor Ken Langone.
00:37:58.000He said he's eager to support Ron DeSantis for president in 2024, but he has concerns about the Florida governor, particularly because DeSantis signed into law a six-week abortion ban, and he wants him to moderate his stance on the issue.
00:38:08.000Donors, activists, other supporters are increasingly voicing worries as the Washington Post that DeSantis has made unforced errors or embraced extreme positions that could hurt him in a general election.
00:38:20.000Probably you should support the guy who is who lost the last election and then proceeded to lose pretty much every Senate race he invested in.
00:38:29.000If you're a Republican donor, you can pretend that there's going to be another candidate coming in from the wings who's going to suddenly pick up the support of the base.
00:39:17.000Do you really want to nominate a candidate who is so self-centered that he believes that it is in the best interest of you to lose an election to Joe Biden rather than if he loses?
00:39:34.000But the baseline idea that in a Republican primary, you're threatening your rivals with, I'll take my supporters and tell them not to vote in a general to defeat you and let Joe Biden be president again.
00:39:47.000Here is Donald Trump threatening, threatening Ron DeSantis yesterday.
00:39:51.000Ron DeSantis is a young man who is not doing well against me in the polls, to put it mildly.
00:39:58.000I believe that if he decides to run for president, which will only hurt and somewhat divide the Republican Party, which we don't need, he will lose the cherished and massive MAGA vote and never be able to successfully run for office again.
00:40:37.000There are a lot of reasons to oppose Ron DeSantis that I'm sure Donald Trump can find to run on.
00:40:42.000But threatening to basically destroy the Republican Party from within and re-elect Joe Biden to the presidency if you should lose the primary is really not a great way to enshrine the belief in the base that you actually care about the issues that matter.
00:40:55.000Now, Reagan had what was called the 11th Commandment.
00:40:57.000The 11th Commandment was you don't attack the fellow Republicans, you go after the opposition.
00:41:02.000Donald Trump has been spending his time going after Ron DeSantis nonstop, which is how he's ended up in the peculiar position of defending both Bud Light and Disney.
00:41:09.000Very strange position for Donald Trump, a supposed culture warrior, to be doing that.
00:41:13.000Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis continues to win legislative victories in the state of Florida.
00:41:19.000According to CNN, you can read the tears coming off the page.
00:41:22.000The Florida State Education Board voted on Wednesday to ban teaching students about sexual orientation and gender identity all the way through high school, which of course makes perfect sense.
00:41:35.000A public school teacher funded by the NEA Union or the AFT teaching your kids about sexual fluidity and the equivalent morality of all sexual activity.
00:41:45.000That's what you don't need, actually, as it turns out.
00:41:47.000That's what Ron DeSantis said yesterday.
00:41:50.000But it also is important to me because my wife and I have a six, five and three year old kids at home.
00:41:55.000So we're looking at it through the lens of parents ourselves.
00:41:58.000And we just believe that parents should be able to send their kid to school, have them watch cartoons, just be kids without having some agenda shoved down their throats all the time.
00:42:09.000So gender ideology has no place in our K through 12 school system.
00:42:40.000As the stanza says, all they're saying is basically the teachers can't come in the room and start asking people pronouns or start pushing their own pronouns.
00:42:46.000Which by the way, I was never aware that it was a matter of deep concern that teachers be able to tell their students about their sexuality.
00:42:53.000I don't know why that is a priority in any way, shape, or form.
00:42:56.000Where I come from, teachers don't actually have to tell their kids about their personal lives.
00:43:00.000There's supposed to be a distant respect and remove for teachers.
00:43:04.000Being close to the teacher means liking the teacher as a teacher.
00:43:06.000It doesn't mean knowing everything about the teacher's personal life or sexual proclivities.
00:43:11.000And DeSantis is very clear on these issues, which is one of the reasons I think that Trump is and many of the media are afraid of him.
00:43:17.000Here's DeSantis yesterday saying a man in a dress is not a woman.
00:43:19.000Again, this is very clear and concise.
00:43:24.000If we as a society say that a man that puts on a dress, dresses as a woman, and then, quote, identifies as a woman, is actually a woman, that is not true, okay?
00:43:35.000If you're telling me that I have to accept that that is a woman, you're asking me to be complicit in a lie.
00:43:45.000And so, part of this is about, are we going to have a society that's rooted in truth?
00:43:51.000Or are we going to have a society that's unmoored from truth and is basically being swept away with different ideological currents?
00:44:00.000Because if you're saying that that is a woman, you're putting ideology ahead of truth and reason.
00:44:10.000It'll be interesting to see how Trump attacks DeSantis on this sort of stuff again, considering that he has basically come to Disney's defense over Disney's attempts to move socially left.
00:44:18.000Okay, in just one second, we'll get to more on all of this.
00:44:21.000Plus, Jon Fetterman returns to Congress first.

00:45:35.000Dianne Feinstein is not with us, and she sits on the Judiciary Committee.
00:45:38.000There was a bit of hilarious back and forth between Republicans and Democrats this week.
00:45:41.000Democrats were trying to shift her off the very important Judiciary Committee and onto another committee, but they needed Republican votes to do it.
00:45:47.000Republicans are like, no, we're not going to give you that out.
00:45:50.000She's going to sit there until you guys decide to remove her.
00:45:53.000Which, by the way, is the right political move.
00:45:55.000If you're a party and you decide to leave people in place who don't have full mental function, that one's on you.
00:45:59.000Speaking of which, the cruelty of Pushing a man who has had a debilitating stroke into the Senate of the United States and then expecting him to fulfill his duties with aplomb was on full display yesterday.
00:46:11.000John Fetterman returned to the Senate.
00:46:14.000I'm glad that he's mentally well enough to be back at his job.
00:46:18.000However, all the problems that we were told were supposed to go away, those are still not going away.
00:46:23.000he does not sound back to his original self pre-stroke obviously.
00:46:34.000Senate Subcommittee on Food and Nutrition, Specialty Crops, Organics, and Research to order.
00:46:44.000Chairwoman Stabenow and Ranking Member Boozman, thank you so much for coming.
00:46:55.000I thank you for your leadership on this committee and I look forward to working with you to pass a farm bill.
00:47:02.000SNAP is one of the most effective programs to fight hunger and piraty in the country.
00:47:08.000In my time and effort in IFAS, as the mayor of Braddock, to lieutenant governor, to now, I have heard from Pennsylvanians about their support for a SNAP.
00:48:35.000She was Marjorie Taylor Greene was just waiting for her moment to smack Eric Swalwell upside the head.
00:48:40.000Eric Swalwell is, of course, the representative from California most famous for possibly farting on camera and also having sex with a Chinese spy.
00:48:47.000It was the latter issue that Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed out yesterday.
00:48:50.000After Eric Swalwell did a whole bizarre lecture about the House Judiciary Committee and Elon Musk and Kanye West and all the rest of it, Marjorie Taylor Greene jumped in with both feet.
00:49:01.000Off the top rope, Marjorie Taylor Greene, here we go.
00:49:05.000That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy.
00:50:30.000So now, according to the New York Post, ex-Biden official Sam Brinton is going to undergo a mental health evaluation in his luggage theft case.
00:50:40.000So Sam Brinton is the disgraced former Biden administration official who was stealing luggage on at least two separate occasions and then wearing around the clothing.
00:50:47.000And there was an African lady who had made like custom clothing and he was just wearing around this lady's clothes.
00:50:54.000He is now agreeing to undergo a mental health evaluation as part of his Minnesota Adult Diversion Program.
00:50:58.000Brinton, says the New York Post, who is non-binary and uses they-them pronouns, appeared remotely Monday at a Hennepin County Court hearing stemming from that luggage theft incident.
00:51:07.000In addition to having to undergo a mental health evaluation, Brinton will be required to write a letter of apology to the victim, return any stolen property, and perform three days of community service.
00:51:15.000So, um, I'd just like to point out here that he's having a mental health evaluation now?
00:51:22.000What was your first clue there was something mentally wrong with this person?
00:51:25.000But were there any other clues or was it completely out of the blue?
00:51:28.000He seemed like such a nice young man, said his next door neighbor.
00:51:42.000It's like a bald dude wearing a dress, like a ball gown, and claiming that he has no gender.
00:51:47.000That seems like kind of a clue that maybe this person shouldn't be in charge of our nuclear waste, which was his position at the by- By the way, they celebrated him for- for this.
00:51:54.000Okay, this- this... wackadoo, with the mustache and the bald head, wearing a ball gown, at some sort of public event with other members of the- of the administration.
00:52:06.000This- this one, who went to, like, the French embassy.
00:52:10.000Yeah, like, There are no mental health evaluations, apparently, to handle the nation's nuclear waste.
00:52:15.000But after you steal- Were there- There are no clues, guys.
00:52:19.000This seems- This was perfectly- In our modern society, this is perfectly- Stealing the luggage was the first time we had ever had any clue there might be something screwy about Sam Brinton.
00:52:32.000Or, alternatively, he had problems the whole time.
00:52:36.000I know, it's shocking to think, absolutely shocking to think that a man who dressed up in a dress and did lectures on college campuses with other men who are kneeling there in dog outfits with collars around their neck, that that person might have some unexplainable problems.
00:53:05.000There were no clues, none, no red flags, zero.
00:53:09.000I'm just glad that now he's getting the mental, or they, or it, whatever the pronouns of the day are, that Xi is getting the help that Xi needs.
00:53:19.000Meanwhile, MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hassan, who was formerly of the Qatar-funded Al Jazeera propaganda network, He has now been accused of plagiarizing a column he wrote in favor of child spanking a couple of decades ago.
00:53:31.000He seemed to have copied full paragraphs from a U.S.
00:53:33.000News & World Report article, tweaking only a couple of words, according to Li Feng, journalist.
00:53:43.000Now, I don't tend to think that Mehdi Hassan is a particularly excellent anchor, but the good news for Democrats and people who are on the left is that you can plagiarize as much as you want and be perfectly okay.
00:53:52.000After all, there's a Princeton professor.
00:53:56.000Kevin Cruz, who's accused quite plausibly of plagiarism, he's still teaching there, no problem.
00:54:02.000Those sorts of scandals only take down people on the right.
00:54:04.000Okay, time for a couple of things that I hate.
00:54:10.000So, there is this new mode when it comes to journalism and in the world of business, where bosses are not allowed to tell people to suck it up and do their work.
00:54:42.000But apparently now, if you are a CEO and you tell people, listen, suck it up, buttercup, then apparently you are the font head of all evil, the root of all evil.
00:54:51.000It's not good to be in the situation we're in today, but we're not going to be here forever.
00:55:24.000Spend your time and your effort thinking about the 26 million dollars we need and not thinking about what you're going to do if we don't get a bonus.
00:56:20.000This apparently is cause for a full scale article in the Wall Street Journal.
00:56:25.000According to the Wall Street Journal, Much of business leadership takes place via easily recorded and shared video these days, and more than one top executive has spiked viral outrage as a result.
00:56:34.000In 2021, Vishal Garg, chief executive of online mortgage lender Better.com, apologized and took a brief leave of absence after a video of him firing hundreds of workers on a Zoom call was posted on TikTok and viewed by millions.
00:56:44.000Others have drawn scrutiny for more impromptu moments shared online.
