Summary

In this episode, we take a look at the Democratic primary in New York s 16th Congressional District, where a candidate who relies heavily on the intersectional ideology promoted by the "Woke Left" is challenging a more moderate candidate in a primary that's not only anti-racist, but also anti-Semitic in its support for him. What does that mean for the future of the Democratic Party? And what does it mean for Jewish people and Israel? And why does it matter who wins in the primary, who wins the election, and what it means for the country as a whole? And why is it a good thing that a candidate like Jamal Bowman is running against someone like George Latimer, a white guy who doesn't believe in the intersectionality that's at the core of left-wing ideology and white supremacy that is at the heart of the woke left's ideology? And what will happen if Jamal Bowman wins the primary and becomes the next Democratic candidate in the 16th congressional district, a district that includes a bunch of Jews and a lot of black people? and why it's not just a Democratic primary, it's a race between a Jew and a non-Jew it's also a race against a person who is anti-Semite and a socialist a man who supports Israel. . the candidate who supports the anti-Israel position on the Middle East peace plan Jamal Bowman who is a self-described democratic socialist, who is also a "pro-semitic . . . and he's pro-Israel views on Israel, which is also pro-secessionism is being targeted because he's a "full-scale anti-Semitism by the Jewish establishment or pro-choice so he's being targeted for his positions on Israel is a full-scale antisemite, but not because he supports a pro-sovereem because he s a on Israel , right-wing but he s being targeted on his views on the pro-pro-soverism, not pro-heavily pro-sabbi ? and so on Israel s pro-of Israel is not anti-so-much-to-he's a full scale per-so much ... in fact, he's not even being targeted by the full scale anti-heel, per-sheer

00:00:00.000 There is a battle on for the future of the Democratic Party.
00:00:03.000 That battle is over which direction they are going to go.
00:00:06.000 Are they going to continue in the intersectional woke direction, or are they going to steer back towards something like moderation?
00:00:12.000 See, the Democratic Party of my childhood, the Bill Clinton Democratic Party, sure, it had heavy minority support, but it was largely considered the party of blue-collar workers, union workers, for example, the lower middle class.
00:00:24.000 And then it had some elites, but generally speaking, it was considered a sort of a broad populist coalition inside the Democratic Party.
00:00:31.000 And then in 2012, Barack Obama decided to abandon independence, abandon moderates, abandon blue collar white voters, and he was going to go specifically at minority voters and get them to turn out in heavy, heavy numbers.
00:00:42.000 And ever since then, the Democratic Party has been moving steadily in the direction of a heavily minority voting base combined with single white ladies who are sympathetic to an intersectional worldview.
00:00:52.000 In 2020, Joe Biden's voter base was 40% minority, which is really, really high.
00:00:58.000 It was 40% minority.
00:01:00.000 There's a lot of women and independents who are male, particularly, not particularly pro-Joe Biden.
00:01:06.000 White voters, not particularly pro-Joe Biden.
00:01:10.000 Now, this is all coming to a head, the future of the Democratic Party.
00:01:13.000 Is it going to be a moderate party that steers more in the direction of, say, John Fetterman or Josh Shapiro?
00:01:17.000 Or is it going to be a Democratic Party that steers more in the direction of Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar?
00:01:24.000 This is all coming to the head in New York's 16th Congressional District for a reason.
00:01:27.000 So there's a primary happening in the 16th Congressional District.
00:01:31.000 That primary poses Jamal Bowman, who is an extraordinarily radical person who relies on the philosophy of intersectionality consistently.
00:01:40.000 And he is running against a person named George Latimer.
00:01:43.000 George Latimer is sort of a typical Westchester County government executive.
00:01:50.000 And he right now is running well ahead of Jamal Bowman.
00:01:54.000 And that is for a reason.
00:01:56.000 That is because the 16th Congressional District happens to have changed in constituency to include a bunch of Jews and also a bunch of black people.
00:02:05.000 And this is coming to a head because the conflict between the intersectional ideology promoted by the woke left and Jewish people has broken out, particularly since October 7th, because the intersectionality says that if you are a member of a dispossessed group, and by dispossessed they just mean statistically less successful group, not that you've actually shown proof of dispossession in the here and now, But, that you are, for example, underperforming educationally, or economically, underperforming in some other way.
00:02:34.000 This is a result of white supremacy, and when extended into the foreign policy sphere, if you look at Israel, and if you look at the way Jamal Bowman describes Israel, or Rashida Tlaib, or Ilhan Omar, Israel is the white supremacist country, even though, again, it's a bunch of Jews, and many of them are brown Jews, versus the dispossessed brown people who are the Palestinians, never mind the fact that Jews are indigenous to the area, never mind the fact that Palestinians could be theoretically absorbed by surrounding Arab countries very, very easily, but they've never been done so, even though Jews, by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, have been absorbed by the Jewish state in Israel.
00:03:05.000 Put all of that aside.
00:03:05.000 Intersectionality is a lie.
00:03:07.000 It is a falsehood, and it's a stupid falsehood at that, but it is at the core of left-wing ideology, particularly radical left-wing ideology at this point, and it is breaking out again into the open in the 16th Congressional District, both because of the ethnic breakdown of the 16th Congressional District, again, both Significantly Jewish and also much more significantly black.
00:03:26.000 And also because the Democratic Party has decided not to run on a broad spectrum platform that talks about economics per se.
00:03:34.000 It's decided to break people down by ethnicity and then pose them against one another.
00:03:39.000 So the person who represents the 16th Congressional District is Jamal Bowman.
00:03:43.000 Jamal Bowman, you'll remember from such hits as, I'm going to pull this fire alarm because I believe it will open a door supposedly.
00:03:49.000 But he's been representing the 16th Congressional District since 2021.
00:03:54.000 He is a self-described democratic socialist.
00:03:57.000 He is also a radical anti-Semite.
00:04:00.000 And he is being supported in this race by people in the Democratic Party, ranging from James Clyburn, who refuses to endorse George Latimer, he says he's not going to endorse in that race, over to Bernie Sanders.
00:04:15.000 Who is suggesting that he's being targeted specifically because of his positions on Israel.
00:04:20.000 Well, he is being targeted, but not because of his positions on Israel per se.
00:04:23.000 He's being targeted because he's a full-scale anti-Semite.
00:04:26.000 Full stop.
00:04:28.000 And full-scale antisemitism on the radical left is perfectly fine.
00:04:31.000 Because so long as it's not, I hate Jews, just purely.
00:04:35.000 So long as it's, I hate Jews because they're disproportionately successful.
00:04:38.000 I hate Jews because they exist in the Middle East.
00:04:41.000 I hate Jews because Jews are at the top of that intersectional hierarchy in which they are successful and therefore they are victimizers.
00:04:48.000 So long as you say antisemitism that way, it's totally fine with the radical left.
00:04:53.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:04:54.000 First, I've been traveling a lot recently, which means my team and I need to be careful about securing our internet connection.
00:04:59.000 You can't trust public Wi-Fi to have any kind of security.
00:05:01.000 Depending on where you are in the world, you might even be dealing with government censorship.
00:05:04.000 That's why when I'm on the road, I always use my trusted privacy partner, ExpressVPN.
00:05:08.000 The alarming reality is that big tech companies monitor your searches, the videos you watch, every click you make.
00:05:13.000 This data is then used to serve you targeted ads, potentially compromising your privacy and free speech.
00:05:17.000 When you use ExpressVPN, these tech companies can't see your IP address at all.
00:05:20.000 Your identity is masked and anonymized by a secure VPN server that encrypts your data.
00:05:24.000 And ExpressVPN makes it really, really easy.
00:05:26.000 Just one tap on your computer or phone to turn it on.
00:05:28.000 Now you're protected.
00:05:29.000 It's time to say no to censorship.
00:05:31.000 Take back your privacy at expressvpn.com slash ben.
00:05:34.000 You'll get an extra three months of ExpressVPN service for free.
00:05:37.000 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S vpn.com slash ben.
00:05:40.000 I've been using ExpressVPN for years.
00:05:42.000 At this point, they're great.
00:05:43.000 It's really easy to install.
00:05:45.000 One click to download.
00:05:46.000 Well, the actual status of the race right now is that Jamal Bowman is likely to lose.
00:05:48.000 ExpressVPN.com slash Ben, get your data protected today.
00:05:52.000 Again, that's ExpressVPN.com slash Ben and get that data protected today, no matter where you are.
00:05:58.000 Well, the actual status of the race right now is that Jamal Bowman is likely to lose.
00:06:03.000 And already the radical left is trying to claim that this is the result of money intervention
00:06:08.000 by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, AIPAC.
00:06:10.000 Now AIPAC has become sort of a political bugaboo on the far right and on the far left.
00:06:16.000 There's this idea that because it's a lobbying group that lobbies on behalf of largely Jews, but some Christians in America who are pro-Israel, that it therefore works for the Israeli government.
00:06:24.000 It does not.
00:06:26.000 Or that the intervention of a lobbying group in a race is somehow shocking.
00:06:30.000 It is not.
00:06:31.000 It happens in literally every congressional race.
00:06:33.000 And particularly it's going to come up when you happen to have a congressperson Who has committed a wide variety of full-on Jew-hating sins.
00:06:41.000 Which, it turns out, that Jamal Bowman has.
00:06:44.000 So right now, Jamal Bowman is about to lose.
00:06:46.000 According to lowhood.com, more than 14,000 Westchester County voters already have cast ballots in robust early turnout for the primary battle between Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Latimer for Bowman's House seat.
00:07:00.000 That includes 9,904 Democrats in New York's 16th Congressional District who voted in person over five days from last Saturday through Wednesday.
00:07:09.000 Extraordinary voter turnout for Jews in Westchester, A group that has spent months registering and mobilizing Jewish voters in Westchester for the Bowman-Latimer primary reported strong initial results this week.
00:07:18.000 Jewish voters it contacted made up more than 40% of Westchester residents who had voted in person or by mail as of Monday.
00:07:26.000 Jewish voters only make up about 9% of this primary's voting population in Westchester, but apparently they make up 43% of those who requested mail-in ballots.
00:07:36.000 And there is a reason for that.
00:07:37.000 Not because people love George Latimer per se, but because it turns out that Jews in particular in this area don't really like Jew haters in Congress.
00:07:44.000 It turns out not to be a particularly popular point of view.
00:07:48.000 And when I say Jew haters, I really mean Jew haters.
00:07:51.000 For example, in 2023, Rashida Tlaib decided that she was going to introduce a resolution recognizing the quote-unquote Nakba.
00:08:01.000 Nakba is a term that was made up by people who despise Israel and wish that it didn't exist.
00:08:07.000 It's meant to, it literally means disaster.
00:08:10.000 And it is supposed to be the same thing as the establishment of the State of Israel.
00:08:13.000 The State of Israel is the Nakba.
00:08:17.000 Jamal Bowman has supported that resolution.
00:08:21.000 But that's not the only thing he supported.
00:08:24.000 Or rather did not support.
00:08:25.000 It turns out that the House, on October 25th, 2023, the House passed a resolution condemning Hamas' attacks on Israel.
00:08:31.000 Now this seems like a pretty big no-brainer.
00:08:33.000 It was just a simple piece of legislation that affirmed U.S.
00:08:37.000 support for Israel in its war with, you know, the group that killed 1,200 people and took 250 hostages.
00:08:43.000 Nine Democrats voted against the measure, including, wait for it, Jamal Bowman, of course.
00:08:49.000 Then, a few months later, you'll recall just a few months ago, a couple months ago, there was an Iranian attack on Israel where 300 missiles and drones were shot at Israel by a sovereign country, Iran, The United States, its allies, Israel, they helped shoot a lot of that down.
00:09:07.000 And so there was an overwhelming majority of the House voting on a resolution to condemn Iran's recent attack on Israel.
00:09:13.000 Fourteen members voted against the resolution.
00:09:16.000 Thirteen Democrats and one Republican.
00:09:17.000 The Republican is Thomas Massey.
00:09:18.000 He votes against pretty much everything.
00:09:19.000 The group of Democrats included leading people like Jamal Bowman, of course.
00:09:25.000 He says, we must do everything in our power to end the ongoing violence, pursue a lasting ceasefire, and save civilian lives.
00:09:31.000 Instead of pushing resolutions that fan the flames of war, Congress should recognize all the lives that have been lost, both Palestinian and Israeli.
00:09:36.000 What does that have to do with not condemning Iran for firing missiles at the Jewish state?
00:09:40.000 All of that, of course, is a cover for what Jamal Bowman really thinks.
00:09:44.000 Here's Jamal Bowman back in March, suggesting that Israel is an apartheid state, and then suggesting that the... of Israeli women on October 7th, all of that was a lie.
00:09:54.000 I am not an expert on apartheid, but those who are experts on apartheid refer to Israel as an apartheid state.
00:10:02.000 That is a war crime.
00:10:05.000 And there was propaganda used at the beginning of this speech.
00:10:09.000 There's still no evidence of heavenly babies or f***ing women, but they still keep using that lie of propaganda.
00:10:20.000 Okay, so that's a dude who hates Jews.
00:10:23.000 Somebody who says that the rape on October 7th didn't happen.
00:10:27.000 There's not only evidence, there's evidence from body cameras of what's happening.
00:10:30.000 There are members who have admitted on tape to raping women.
00:10:34.000 We've played some of it on the show.
00:10:37.000 And again, Jamal Bowman, this is who he is.
00:10:40.000 Jamal Bowman said recently, quote, in New York City, we all live together, but Westchester is segregated.
00:10:45.000 There are certain places where Jews live and concentrate.
00:10:47.000 Scarsdale, parts of White Plains, parts of New Rochelle, Riverdale.
00:10:50.000 I'm sure they made a decision to do that for their own reasons.
00:10:52.000 But this is why in terms of fighting anti-Semitism, I always push, we've been separated and segregated and miseducated for so long.
00:10:58.000 We need to live together, play together, go to school together, learn together and work together.
00:11:01.000 Okay, this is just a cover for not liking Jews very much.
00:11:03.000 It turns out that many Jews, particularly Orthodox Jews, live in areas where there are lots of other Jews.
00:11:08.000 Want to know why?
00:11:08.000 Because according to Jewish law, you actually are supposed to live within walking distance of a synagogue, which means you have to live within a particular radius of the synagogue.
00:11:18.000 So in my neighborhood, for example, the real estate prices within walking distance of the synagogue are really, really high.
00:11:23.000 And then you go like three blocks further outside of what's called the Eruv, an area where you're allowed to carry, and the real estate prices drop.
00:11:28.000 Why?
00:11:29.000 Because Jewish law requires that you actually live within the Eruv if you wish to carry on the Sabbath.
00:11:36.000 Also, by the way, I've never heard Jamal Bowman suggest, for example, that historically black communities ought to be gentrified for purposes of desegregation.
00:11:43.000 Precisely the opposite.
00:11:45.000 This is who Jamal Bowman is.
00:11:48.000 And again, this is the future wave of the Democratic Party.
00:11:50.000 This is who they believe is the future.
00:11:51.000 Whether he wins or whether he loses is almost irrelevant to the future of the Democratic Party.
00:11:55.000 It would be a good sign.
00:11:56.000 Maybe some sanity would be creeping back into the Democratic Party.
00:12:00.000 But I just want to read you the ages of the people who voted, for example, against that resolution in the House condemning Iran for firing missiles at a sovereign state.
00:12:10.000 Jamal Bowman, 48.
00:12:11.000 Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, 58 years old.
00:12:16.000 Jonathan Jackson of Illinois, 42.
00:12:18.000 Cori Bush, 47.
00:12:20.000 Hank Johnson, a man so stupid he believes the island of Guam is going to tip over because there are too many people on it, 69.
00:12:25.000 Barbara Lee, 77.
00:12:27.000 Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, 36.
00:12:29.000 AOC, 34.
00:12:30.000 Ilhan Omar, 41.
00:12:31.000 Ayanna Pressley, 50.
00:12:33.000 Delia Ramirez, 41.
00:12:34.000 And Rashida Tlaib, 47.
00:12:36.000 The reason I say that is because the median age of Congress right now is 58 years old.
00:12:42.000 Aside from Hank Johnson and Barbara Lee, every single one of those people is at the median age or well below the median age.
00:12:48.000 In other words, Democrats who are young tend to be part of the intersectional caucus.
00:12:54.000 That is why I say this is what the future of the Democratic Party looks like.
00:12:57.000 And I just want to show you what the future of the Democratic Party looks like.
00:13:00.000 Because this is who Democratic honchos think the Democratic Party looks like.
00:13:03.000 Joe Biden is just providing a doddering, senile, elderly face over that.
00:13:08.000 But the reason that Joe Biden has spent his entire administration promoting quote-unquote equity is because he believes that the coalition behind the doddering, frail mask is the coalition of Jamal Bowman and AOC.
00:13:19.000 That's why they keep humoring these people.
00:13:21.000 It's why they're slow-walking aid to Israel, for example, in the middle of all of this.
00:13:24.000 It's the reason why they continue to push trans propaganda and racialist ideology.
00:13:29.000 Because when Democrats look at the future of the Democratic Party, young Democrats, what they see is a coalition that is built on intersectional a priori ideas.
00:13:40.000 And that intersectional coalition must be maintained at any cost.
00:13:43.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:13:44.000 First, as social unrest escalates and crime rates climb, securing the safety of your family is more crucial than ever.
00:13:50.000 In uncertain times, having effective yet non-lethal options is vital.
00:13:54.000 This is why you should check out the Burna Less Lethal Pistol Launcher.
00:13:57.000 It's been developed by a team of common-sense gun owners who understand the importance of having choices.
00:14:01.000 They engineered the Burna Launcher as a powerful tool for self-defense, allowing users to de-escalate life-threatening situations without resorting to deadly force.
00:14:08.000 Now listen, I'm about as pro-Second Amendment as it gets.
00:14:10.000 I own multiple firearms.
00:14:11.000 But, I'll be honest, using lethal force, even in defending my home and my family, that's a scary idea, obviously.
00:14:18.000 Now, don't misunderstand me.
00:14:19.000 If somebody invades my home, what happens next is on them.
00:14:22.000 But, if I have the ability not to resort to lethal measures in order to do so, that would be great.
00:14:27.000 Not only that, there are situations where you're in your home, and somebody's banging around in the kitchen, and you don't know who it is.
00:14:33.000 What if it's a member of your family who, like, came in?
00:14:35.000 Now, maybe it would be better that, God forbid, instead of making, like, a horrible, horrible life-altering mistake, you can use, you know, something else.
00:14:43.000 Well, Burna is a safer, more sensible alternative that could potentially save lives on both sides, protecting both the user and the aggressor.

00:14:55.000 That's b-y-r-n-a.
00:14:57.000 So all of this culminated over the weekend in one of the most bizarre campaign stops I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:15:03.000 So AOC showed up and was totally psychotic.
00:15:07.000 I mean, she's like Dwight at a paper selling event.
00:15:12.000 Or as some said online, Adolf Hitler from Downfall.
00:15:16.000 Here she is screaming and shouting like a nut.
00:15:20.000 And this is supposed to be, I suppose, cool.
00:15:22.000 But what it really does, it has awkward, I'm still a teenager vibes.
00:15:26.000 This is AOC and Taylor Swift.
00:15:28.000 She's like the Taylor Swift of progressive left-wing politics.
00:15:31.000 She's a 34-year-old woman who acts like she's 16 years old.
00:15:35.000 So here is AOC going off on AIPAC.
00:15:39.000 And obviously, we all know what she means by that.
00:15:41.000 that here we go.
00:15:42.000 Are you ready to fight for peace on earth?
00:15:43.000 Let's see if you can see this is jumping up and down, moving the mics, waving her hands
00:16:00.000 There's rap music playing in the background, Cardi B playing in the background.
00:16:07.000 She's ready to fight.
00:16:08.000 By fight, she means yell into a microphone, obviously, and ruffle her own hair for the camera.
00:16:14.000 Wow, what a stellar performance there by Lauren Mussolini.
00:16:20.000 Just solid, solid stuff there.
00:16:23.000 But she concluded the performance, by the way, by like jumping on Jamal Bowman.
00:16:26.000 So you have here a 34-year-old woman.
00:16:28.000 Again, I point out the age only to point out that we are such an immature, ridiculous country.
00:16:32.000 The fact that somebody like AOC is a respected commentator in some circles just demonstrates what an unserious country we are on every possible level.
00:16:40.000 AOC is two years younger than my wife.
00:16:42.000 My wife has four kids and is a doctor.
00:16:44.000 AOC dresses up in khaki shorts, a white shirt, jumps around like a moron, and then grabs Jamal Bowman around the neck as they dance to Cardi B in the middle of a political event.
00:16:52.000 These are the leaders that you have selected, gang.
00:16:58.000 She's jumping up and down because she's in a rave.
00:17:01.000 And here comes Jamal Bowman and he's coming up.
00:17:03.000 What is this?
00:17:04.000 I'm sorry.
00:17:04.000 Who are these clowns?
00:17:06.000 What a clown show.
00:17:08.000 And then Jamal Bowman shows up and he starts bouncing the beat.
00:17:12.000 And then he says, keep the beat going.
00:17:15.000 And then he just starts rapping into the microphone.
00:17:19.000 Jamal Bowman is 48 years old, by the way.
00:17:20.000 He's eight years older than I am, Jamal Bowman.
00:17:24.000 That dude is like 14 years away from retirement in the United States.
00:17:30.000 Oh, it's so embarrassing.
00:17:34.000 These people are so embarrassing.
00:17:36.000 And then Jamal Bowman decides that he's gonna, I don't know what he had here.
00:17:39.000 Whatever they give Joe Biden before his debates, they pumped Jamal Bowman full of this.
00:17:44.000 And he starts like picking up a stool And waving around a stool while simping for- And he also rolled up his sleeves, so he got a bit of the gun show.
00:17:53.000 Now here's the daily wire, you have to be an All Access member to get the gun show.
00:17:55.000 If you want the gun show from Jamal Bowman, all you have to do is watch him get his ass kicked in a local Democratic primary.
00:18:01.000 But here he was, waving around a stool for some reason, and shouting about a ceasefire, which he knows nothing about because he's a very, very low IQ human being.
00:18:12.000 Here we go.
00:18:16.000 So he's firing now, and now he's picking up a stool.
00:18:17.000 I don't know why he's holding a stool.
00:18:19.000 They're having some, as people online point out, some roid rage happening right here.
00:18:22.000 I don't know, what, is he going to, like, body surf now?
00:18:28.000 Or, like, crowd surf?
00:18:30.000 By the way, you don't want to be the people underneath Jamal Baldwin when he tries to crowd surf.
00:18:34.000 That is a large human being.
00:18:39.000 Now he's chanting his own name.
00:18:46.000 Top level, genius level stuff.
00:18:49.000 By the way, whenever they complain about, wow, AIPAC is getting involved in the race, you mean a group that doesn't want to see anti-Semites in Congress is getting involved in a race involving an anti-Semite?
00:18:57.000 That is absolutely shocking.
00:18:58.000 Jamal Bowman himself has poured millions of dollars into the race.
00:19:01.000 It's coming from lots of people who, you know, are part of the intersectional coalition and don't really like Israel and really don't like Jews very much.
00:19:08.000 And then Jamal Bowman and AOC got together for a little social media commercial to encourage people to get out to vote.
00:19:15.000 But only in particular areas, you will note.
00:19:19.000 So here is Jamal Bowman.
00:19:21.000 He has to rest up after that.
00:19:22.000 He's got a towel over his shoulder like he just ran a marathon.
00:19:26.000 Water bottle.
00:19:27.000 And then he and Schoolmarm AOC over here.
00:19:30.000 Enthusiastic Schoolmarm.
00:19:31.000 How do you do, fellow kids?
00:19:34.000 They discuss why you need to show up to vote for Jamal Bowman in this primary.
00:19:39.000 Cease fire now, y'all!
00:19:40.000 That's what we're doing!
00:19:41.000 Cease fire now!
00:19:41.000 Spin it, y'all!
00:19:42.000 Let's get it poppin'!
00:19:43.000 Let's get it poppin'?
00:19:43.000 The polls are open today.
00:19:44.000 The polls are open tomorrow.
00:19:46.000 Make sure you get out the vote.
00:19:47.000 Election day is Tuesday.
00:19:49.000 Let's go.
00:19:49.000 We need record turnout all across the district, especially in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Co-op City, and Eden Wall.
00:19:56.000 Let's get it poppin'.
00:19:57.000 Let's change the world.
00:19:58.000 It's the many versus the money.
00:20:00.000 We're gonna win.
00:20:00.000 Let's go, baby.
00:20:01.000 We're gonna win.
00:20:01.000 We're gonna take on AIPAC, and we're gonna kick some Wall Street ass.
00:20:04.000 So let's go!
00:20:05.000 Stop the bombs!
00:20:07.000 This is the clown show that you guys are voting for.
00:20:09.000 We are now in idiocracy, like full-scale in idiocracy with politicians like this.
00:20:12.000 then it would all be over.
00:20:14.000 But that's not what this is about, is it?
00:20:16.000 Okay, this is the clown show that you guys are voting for.
00:20:19.000 We are now in idiocracy, like full-scale in idiocracy with politicians like this.
00:20:24.000 I do appreciate the fluency with which he drops into, dropping his Gs and then replacing his Gs,
00:20:31.000 depending on which part of the video he's in.
00:20:33.000 When it's time to vote in Edenwald, he's like, we all need you voting in Edenwald.
00:20:36.000 He's like, let's get it poppin'!
00:20:39.000 The kind of jump in and out of intense Jamal is really something to watch.
00:20:45.000 The areas that he's asking to vote, by the way, I talked about the ethnic conflict that's arisen within this district, are disproportionately black.
00:20:51.000 The district overall, the 16th congressional district, is about 30-some percent black.
00:20:59.000 by ethnicity, but there are some particular areas of the district that are that are obviously
00:21:04.000 significantly more black than others. So the 16th congressional district at last census is about 40
00:21:10.000 percent white, 29 percent hispanic, 21 percent black, but some of the districts that he's calling
00:21:16.000 out, Mount Vernon is like 63 percent black, Co-op City is like 59 percent black, and Edenwald is
00:21:21.000 63 percent black.
00:21:22.000 So he's specifically calling out, obviously, to his voting base.
00:21:24.000 That's not unusual when you're trying to get people out.
00:21:26.000 Obviously, you call out to your voting base.
00:21:28.000 But the reason that his voting base is who his voting base is, and he doesn't have broad support across, by the way, a district that Barack Obama won before it was redistricted, like 90 to 5, The reason this controversy exists is because of the breaking apart of this intersectional coalition inside the Democratic Party.
00:21:46.000 So the question for the future of the Democratic Party is, which way are you going to move?
00:21:49.000 I'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:21:50.000 First, we live in a dangerous world.
00:21:51.000 Real Americans understand you can't rely on anyone else to protect or defend you.
00:21:54.000 You've got to be prepared to face danger when it comes.
00:21:57.000 No one else is going to do it for you.

00:22:21.000 And you were supposed to prepare for natural disasters, we didn't really do that, but now I'm down in Florida and hurricanes are there.
00:22:26.000 It turns out no matter where you live, there's always the possibility of something bad happening.

00:22:51.000 Now, Joe Biden had a choice.
00:22:53.000 When Joe Biden won in 2020, he actually had an opportunity to move back toward a Clintonian third way, focused on, say, economic populism rather than equity.
00:23:02.000 And instead, what he decided to do was staff up on the equity side and go radical on the social politics.
00:23:08.000 So it's pretty clear which way the Democratic Party thinks this thing is moving.
00:23:13.000 One of the fascinating things that we've seen in the electoral dynamic here is that Donald Trump is picking up a lot of blue-collar voters.
00:23:18.000 And he's picking up some voters in the Hispanic community, too, because it turns out in 2020, when the Democratic Party basically acted as though Black Lives Matter was the only cause worth supporting among minorities in America, turns out there are a lot of other minorities in America.
00:23:31.000 And in fact, Black Americans represent the second biggest minority in America after Hispanic Americans, many of whom are now turning toward Republicans.
00:23:37.000 But The question is really whether Trump started to make those inroads because he's Trump, or whether Democrats forewent those inroads because they've been following a primrose path to intersectional coalition hell.
00:23:51.000 I would suggest very much the second.
00:23:53.000 Democrats have been going intersectional since 2012.
00:23:56.000 And this is the natural sort of culmination of that.
00:23:58.000 Now, could that start to turn?
00:24:00.000 Could the worm start to?
00:24:01.000 That's possible.
00:24:03.000 Maybe if Jamal Bowman loses, that's the first step toward rationality beginning to rear its head again inside the Democratic Party.
00:24:09.000 But if Joe Biden has his way, it's not.
00:24:12.000 So, for example, apparently Joe Biden has now hired a brand new White House staffer.
00:24:18.000 And this is a classy dude.
00:24:20.000 This White House staffer is a person named Tyler Cherry.
00:24:25.000 He's a former Interior Department Communications Director.
00:24:28.000 He's now been hired in a new role and will be working on communications inside the Biden White House.
00:24:32.000 Here's a picture of Tyler Cherry.
00:24:35.000 Well, um... Well... Um... Well, I guess since they got rid of that guy who was stealing all the ladies' luggage, now he's... They hired another guy who's stealing ladies' luggage.
00:24:47.000 I guess he stole the luggage of... Of Bianca, what's her name?
00:24:51.000 Kanye's wife.
00:24:53.000 He's stealing her luggage now.
00:24:55.000 So um that's that's weird.
00:24:59.000 This person happens to be one of the young radicals.
00:25:04.000 So it turns out that he was posting support for Palestine on social media in 2014.
00:25:10.000 That is when he was firing hundreds of rockets into Israel.
00:25:14.000 He also called for ICE to be abolished in 2018.
00:25:19.000 So this dude likes dressing in women's clothing and supporting And I guess he's all out of women's clothing.
00:25:25.000 Obviously, he's out of clothing entirely.
00:25:28.000 July 25th, 2014, quote, cheering in bars to end the occupation of Gaza.
00:25:33.000 No shame and F your glares.
00:25:35.000 Hashtag, I support Gaza.
00:25:36.000 Hashtag, Free Palestine.
00:25:37.000 Again, this dude goes right off the top of the roof the minute it takes over his area.
00:25:42.000 In a statement to Fox News, Digital White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates said, we are very proud to have Tyler and his nipples on the team.
00:25:50.000 I don't know if he said that last part, but apparently that's, that's, I mean, is that gonna be his like profile at the White House communications desk?
00:25:58.000 Like every time he appears on TV?
00:25:59.000 Remote?
00:26:00.000 They're gonna put that up?
00:26:02.000 This is who the Democratic Party has decided to cater to.
00:26:06.000 And again, they're just gonna keep doubling down on all of this over and over and over again.
00:26:10.000 You wonder why they keep steering into issues that are like 80-20 issues the other way.
00:26:15.000 Why Joe Biden is doing notes about Trans Day of Visibility.
00:26:21.000 Why Joe Biden is basically going to go gay for the month because it's Pride Month.
00:26:25.000 And why are they doing all this?
00:26:26.000 And the answer is that coalition is the coalition they think is the everlasting winning coalition.
00:26:30.000 Now they're wrong.
00:26:31.000 I think that they are very very wrong and they're about to find that out in a very hard way.
00:26:36.000 Because it turns out most Hispanics don't like this stuff.
00:26:39.000 Turns out a lot of black people don't like this stuff.
00:26:41.000 Turns out a lot of Asian people don't like this stuff.
00:26:43.000 And so the racist assumption that every member of a minority group wants to be a member of a victim group is very wrong in a country that is built on the dream of individuals to succeed regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, etc.
00:26:56.000 But this is what Democrats are looking at.
00:26:58.000 And when they're bargaining for this sort of stuff, that is precisely what they're going to get.
00:27:03.000 That's next going to rear its ugly head, presumably, at the Democratic National Convention.
00:27:07.000 We'll get some more on this in a moment.
00:27:09.000 First, election year typically means chaos for everybody and maybe for your wallet.
00:27:13.000 Since 1952, the stock market has underperformed during election years, averaging a 7% gain.
00:27:17.000 The S&P is up so far this year, but, I mean, I don't know what's going to happen, do you?
00:27:21.000 How do we prepare for market volatility?
00:27:22.000 Head on over to masterworks.com slash ben to get connected to Masterworks advisors and find out.
00:27:27.000 You'll be able to speak to their expert team about potentially investing in the blue chip contemporary art asset class, which has had almost no correlation to the stock market for the last 28 years and whose price appreciation has actually outpaced the S&P during that same time according to internal data of public auction sales.
00:27:41.000 I've been talking about Masterworks for years.
00:27:42.000 These guys produce results.
00:27:44.000 They're up to 23 successful exits now with over $60 million in net proceeds distributed back to investors.
00:27:49.000 You don't need any kind of art expertise or millions of bucks to invest.

00:28:08.000 At the Democratic National Convention, they're already expecting that there is going to be some sort of violence outside the Democratic National Convention.
00:28:14.000 At the very least, massive protests on behalf of the intersectional coalition standing for Joe Biden's tactics in the Israel-Gaza war have prolonged the war by months.
00:28:24.000 Joe Biden has slow-walked aid.
00:28:25.000 It turns out when you slow-walk aid, it doesn't dissuade a country defending itself from defending itself.
00:28:30.000 It just means they can't do so as fast as normally they'd be able to, or as meticulously as normally they would be able to.
00:28:38.000 This is true in Ukraine and also in Israel.
00:28:40.000 Turns out slow walking aid prolongs conflicts.
00:28:42.000 It doesn't actually make those conflicts end sooner.
00:28:44.000 But Joe Biden, being a full-scale idiot with not two neurons that actually fire between them, he's been pursuing that policy.
00:28:50.000 So it's very likely that when the Democratic National Convention actually happens by August, the serious possibility of ongoing operations, not really in Gaza, but up north in Israel, is actually quite high.
00:29:01.000 The reason it's quite high is because the more Israel does not show steeliness and willingness to destroy its enemies in Gaza, the more Hezbollah is going to continue upping the ante in the north.
00:29:12.000 Everybody recognizes this.
00:29:15.000 So, how exactly is the Democratic National Convention going to go?
00:29:18.000 Probably not particularly well.
00:29:21.000 It turns out that holding it in Chicago is also a genius idea.
00:29:25.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, pro-Palestinian activists hope to attract 100,000 demonstrators from across the country to protest Biden's handling of the war in Gaza.
00:29:34.000 Republicans are chortling over this.
00:29:35.000 Republican consultant Alex Conant, White House spokesperson during George W. Bush's second term, said when a convention comes to a city, the city becomes part of the convention.
00:29:43.000 Chicago's problems will become part of the Democratic convention.
00:29:46.000 Well, yeah, it certainly will, considering that every weekend in Chicago more people are shot than probably in Gaza on a given weekend.
00:29:54.000 So, good luck to Joe Biden.
00:29:55.000 If this is the future that you are building, well then I suppose you can live with it.
00:29:59.000 But Democrats do have a choice.
00:30:01.000 They could walk away from that future and move back towards sanity.
00:30:03.000 Again, that's what most Americans thought they were getting back in 2020, and it turns out they were not.
00:30:07.000 They were getting a combination of bizarre love child of Bernie Sanders and AOC, except 81 years old.
00:30:15.000 Biden fundraisers, by the way, are running scared from him.
00:30:18.000 They're very concerned, as well they should be.
00:30:21.000 According to Politico, Joe Biden's campaign planned to bury Donald Trump in an avalanche of cash.
00:30:25.000 Instead, his allies are now bracing for a slugfest without the benefit of a fatter wallet, as financial reports show Trump out-raising Biden in back-to-back months, hauling in huge sums after his 34 felony convictions and erasing Biden's longstanding financial edge.
00:30:38.000 Democrats have been trying to downplay Trump's new financial lead, but privately, several Democratic strategists and donors were reeling.
00:30:43.000 One Biden bundler said, there was a strategy of raising all this money on the front end so he could have this huge edge.
00:30:48.000 The whole point of it was to come out with a sizable cash advantage and you know, we're now even and it's June.
00:30:52.000 I have no other word for it other than depression among Biden supporters.
00:30:56.000 Meanwhile, CNN reporting, no surprise here, that the Democratic White House is having some very severe troubles with Jewish voters, which tends to happen when you slow walk aid to the Jewish state in a time of war.
00:31:08.000 Apparently there was a White House event and it hosted a bunch of Jews who were very supportive of Joe Biden and they were asking questions like, why are you staffing up your entire administration with people who hate Israel and are intersectional nutjobs?
00:31:21.000 Yeah, it turns out a lot of those people, I mean, again, I know a lot of liberal Jews who did not vote for Trump and will not vote for Trump this time, but you know what they will do?
00:31:27.000 Stay home rather than voting for Joe Biden or vote for RFK Jr.
00:31:33.000 Joe Biden also happens to be running an insanely insular campaign.
00:31:37.000 A group of people surround him whose only political success was 2020.
00:31:42.000 His top three advisors are Ron Klain, who is his chief of staff, who apparently made policy by following X or Twitter.
00:31:50.000 And then Ted Kaufman, a confidant who has been around since Biden was running for president in like 1987.
00:31:57.000 He's 85 years old.
00:31:57.000 He's 85 years old.
00:32:01.000 And then there's also Tom Donilon, who's been consistently saying that Joe Biden should
00:32:06.000 just keep doing what he's doing.
00:32:07.000 Bye.
00:32:08.000 Klain is 62, Donilon is 65, Kaufman is 85.
00:32:14.000 Many of the Biden allies are looking at this team and they're saying, this does not look like the kind of team that takes you to the championship here.
00:32:23.000 Andrew Bates said, President Biden values a diverse point of view and is proud of his full team of advisors, including recent arrivals and longtime aides.
00:32:31.000 But a former advisor says Biden's tight circle frustrates literally everyone outside of it.
00:32:37.000 My favorite part of this particular article is the use of the word diverse.
00:32:40.000 According to the New York Times, President Biden has a diverse group of advisors, but few have the influence of three men in his inner circle.
00:32:47.000 By diverse, do you mean three old white men?
00:32:49.000 Because those are all three senior citizen white men, I noticed.
00:32:52.000 But I guess you get to be diverse, even as a senior citizen white person, so long as you are a Democrat.
00:32:59.000 What a nice thing.
00:33:01.000 Meanwhile, the Biden administration trying to figure out exactly what the angle is going to be for the debate this week.
00:33:05.000 That, of course, is coming up on Thursday.
00:33:09.000 It's pretty obvious, as I said at the outset, that this whole thing has been rigged in Joe Biden's favor.
00:33:13.000 He offered the debate on the dates with the networks, and five minutes later the thing was set up.
00:33:17.000 So Joe Biden had pre-rigged that thing with CNN.
00:33:20.000 The co-chair of the Biden-Harris campaign, is openly admitting that not having an audience was a Biden request.
00:33:27.000 They say it's better for the American people.
00:33:28.000 It's not better for the American people.
00:33:30.000 It's better for Joe Biden because it turns out audiences don't like Joe Biden very much because he's not funny and he's not entertaining and he falls asleep at events.
00:33:37.000 Not having an audience, not having distractions, not having to worry about COVID.
00:33:41.000 I think all those things are better for the American people and Joe Biden's going to have great debate.
00:33:45.000 Now, Joe Biden is trying to figure out exactly what his strategy is going to be.
00:33:49.000 They've been trotting out this line that Joe Biden cares about America and Donald Trump cares only about himself.
00:33:53.000 That line is not going to play.
00:33:54.000 No one believes Joe Biden deeply cares about the country.
00:33:56.000 No one believes this.
00:33:58.000 Joe Biden has violated the law himself on multiple occasions.
00:34:01.000 He sends his son around the world to pick up bags of cash on behalf of his family.
00:34:05.000 He will literally drain the strategic oil reserves just to lower gas prices in advance of an election.
00:34:10.000 No one believes that Joe Biden is a self-sacrificing public servant.
00:34:13.000 That is not part of Joe Biden's actual appeal at this point in time.
00:34:17.000 But they're gonna try it anyway.
00:34:18.000 Here's Kamala Harris, one of the most charmless people in the history of politics, saying that Joe Biden fights for Americans while Donald Trump is fighting for himself.
00:34:25.000 Good luck with this particular argument.
00:34:27.000 On the one hand, you have Joe Biden, who has spent his life and career fighting for the well-being of other people, including health care.
00:34:38.000 On the other hand, you have the former president, who spent full time when he was president trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which, if he is successful as president again, would mean over 100 million people would be stripped of health care coverage.
00:34:52.000 You have on the one hand Joe Biden who under his leadership bipartisan support for the first meaningful gun safety legislation in 30 years and on the other hand the former president who when speaking of survivors of horrendous gun violence says get over it and is and will proudly talk about how to the NRA about how he did nothing on the issue.
00:35:16.000 Yeah, so I'm just going to point out the issues she's talking about barely register with Americans.
00:35:20.000 When she talks about, well, you know, Joe Biden, that dude did gun legislation.
00:35:25.000 That's not even a top 15 issue for most Americans at this point.
00:35:29.000 So good luck on this one.
00:35:31.000 Now, on the other side of the aisle, there's some pretty wild things happening as well.
00:35:35.000 We'll get to that momentarily.
00:35:36.000 First, there's a new movie that comes out in theaters this July 4th.
00:35:39.000 It is being brought to you in part by Daily Wire+.
00:35:41.000 We are really excited about this.
00:35:42.000 Jeremy Boring recently announced our partnership with Angel Studios to bring you a brand new film called Sound of Hope, the story of Possum Trot.
00:35:48.000 You might know Angel Studios from their incredible movie, Sound of Freedom, I'm sure you do, that had a huge impact in the world of entertainment last year by shining a powerful light on the child trafficking crisis.
00:35:56.000 Well, now Angel Studios is back, continuing their fight for kids.
00:35:59.000 DailyWare Plus is proud to join them in that fight.
00:36:01.000 Sound of Hope is the true story of 22 families from a rural church who adopted 77 kids from the foster system, which is incredible.
00:36:07.000 Check out the trailer.
00:36:12.000 Are you sure these people want us?
00:36:14.000 I know they do.
00:36:15.000 You can call me Mama.
00:36:21.000 Oh, Lord.
00:36:21.000 No!
00:36:22.000 No, no, no!
00:36:22.000 If we can't wrap our arms around the most vulnerable, then what do we have?
00:36:30.000 Noise!
00:36:31.000 And the children can't take the noise anymore.
00:36:34.000 This is something that we must do.
00:36:42.000 Twenty-two families want to adopt.
00:36:44.000 Hotel wants kids now.
00:36:45.000 That's about right.
00:36:48.000 What's happening with possum trot could mean a huge change for the system.
00:37:09.000 I have seen the movie.
00:37:10.000 It is deeply meaningful.
00:37:11.000 It is inspiring.
00:37:11.000 It's going to make you want to get off your butt and go do something to make the world a better place.
00:37:15.000 Everyone needs to see the benefit of having strong religious institutions and our culture portrayed more on the big screen.
00:37:20.000 So go support the movie.
00:37:21.000 We can't wait for you to see Sound of Hope in theaters starting July 4th.
00:37:24.000 Tickets are on sale right now.
00:37:25.000 You can get yours at angel.com slash Ben.
00:37:29.000 Okay.
00:37:29.000 Meanwhile.
00:37:30.000 You know, if there's a bunch of weirdos inside the Democratic Party, and if the Democratic Party is indeed steering in the direction of the weirdos, it would behoove the Republican Party not to also steer in the direction of the weirdos.
00:37:39.000 So now would be an excellent time for Donald Trump and his team to excise many of the weirdos from the party.
00:37:46.000 Because it turns out if you want to win, having lots of weird people in your party is not an amazing way to win.
00:37:50.000 What you actually want to do is what Donald Trump has been doing, which he's been sticking mostly to the issues.
00:37:55.000 Donald Trump has actually seized the positional middle ground on everything from immigration to, yes, even abortion, where he says it's now a state's issue.
00:38:04.000 But you know you don't need a bunch of weirdos in your party.
00:38:07.000 Well, it turns out that some of the weirdos who have been let into the party over the course of the last 10 years are now turning on Donald Trump, which is a shocker.
00:38:14.000 It turns out that people who are super weird and have a screw loose, they tend not to be consistent in their application.
00:38:21.000 According to the Washington Post, Arizona delegates to the Republican National Convention gathered this month in a Phoenix suburb, showing up to get to know each other and learn about their duties.
00:38:30.000 Part of the presentation included a secret plan to throw the party's nomination of Donald Trump for president into chaos.
00:38:36.000 The instructions did not come from never-Trumpers hoping to stop the party from nominating a felon when delegates gather in Milwaukee next month.
00:38:42.000 They instead came from avowed America First believers hatching a challenge from the far right, a plot to release the delegates from their pledge to support Trump.
00:38:49.000 Why exactly are they doing this?
00:38:52.000 Apparently, the goal is to block certain people from being Vice President and instead to substitute former National Security Advisor and weird Twitter personality Michael Flynn.
00:39:03.000 Apparently, a lot of these people think that Trump has surrounded himself too much with the Deep State and they think that by denying Trump the nomination that they are going to get what they want.
00:39:12.000 Guys, this is why you should not give weirdos power.
00:39:14.000 Just generally speaking, it's a bad idea.
00:39:19.000 Like, right now, you're trying to defeat Joe Biden.
00:39:22.000 And instead, you're coming up with plots to hold up Trump's nomination at the convention in order to slide in Michael Flynn as the VP, which, by the way, would lose Trump the election.
00:39:30.000 Vice presidential candidates very rarely can win somebody's election.
00:39:33.000 They can lose people elections.
00:39:34.000 It turns out that if people think that your VP is a crazy person, that's really, really bad for electoral politics.
00:39:40.000 It is generally terrible.
00:39:43.000 The fact that so many local parties in the in the course of 2016 to 2024 have been converted into sort of Weird personal animosity gangs has been terrible.
00:39:54.000 I know everybody in the Arizona Republican Party, at least I used to, and many of the people in the Arizona Republican Party are tired of this.
00:39:59.000 They would like to win.
00:40:00.000 Arizona used to be a red state with a red governor and two red senators, and now it is a blue state with a blue governor and two blue senators.
00:40:07.000 And that is largely due to the wild incompetence and insanity of a certain segment of the Arizona Republican Party.
00:40:12.000 You know what would be good?
00:40:13.000 Not that.
00:40:13.000 Donald Trump would like to win Arizona.
00:40:15.000 It turns out that Donald Trump really wants to win now.
00:40:17.000 Which is great, because when Donald Trump wants to win, that means that he does smarter things.
00:40:23.000 And you can see that Donald Trump wants to win.
00:40:24.000 In fact, the most encouraging clip that I've seen of Donald Trump, maybe in a couple of months, Donald Trump was at a rally, and people started chanting USA.
00:40:31.000 And he said, stop chanting and go vote.
00:40:33.000 Yes, that's correct.
00:40:35.000 That's what Donald Trump needs to do from now all the way until the election.
00:40:39.000 Everyone needs to vote.
00:40:40.000 Vote early.
00:40:41.000 If you can get a mail-in ballot, go vote right now.
00:40:43.000 Do it this very instant.
00:40:46.000 Because it turns out your vote counts the same if you do it today and if you do it election day.
00:40:48.000 You don't get any sort of medal for doing it election day.
00:40:51.000 Here is Donald Trump making the same point.
00:40:57.000 Don't give me any of that USA.
00:40:58.000 Go out and vote.
00:40:59.000 That's all I ask.
00:41:00.000 Correct.
00:41:03.000 USA!
00:41:04.000 USA!
00:41:04.000 We love Trump!
00:41:05.000 USA!
00:41:06.000 And then November 5th comes along, or any of the previous days, you know, the early voting.
00:41:12.000 And then you say, darling, I'm just a little tired.
00:41:15.000 I think I'll skip the vote.
00:41:16.000 You can't do that!
00:41:18.000 You gotta vote.
00:41:19.000 No USA right now.
00:41:20.000 You just go out and vote.
00:41:21.000 Then we'll go USA.
00:41:23.000 Hey, that is right.
00:41:25.000 Again, Donald Trump, I think, is being much more meticulous about this race than he was about 2020 or 2016, actually.
00:41:31.000 He could be freewheeling in 2016 because he was the challenger.
00:41:34.000 Now, it's kind of like two incumbents running against each other.
00:41:36.000 And so he's being much more careful, which is encouraging, given the fact that he does have a debate coming up.
00:41:42.000 So apparently, according to Politico, he might be eschewing formal preparations for Thursday's debate, but that doesn't mean he isn't thinking about it.
00:41:48.000 In fact, the former president couldn't stop talking about his upcoming bout against Biden as he rallied in Philadelphia on Saturday night.
00:41:55.000 Over the course of nearly 90 minutes, Trump interspersed talk of his economic plans and complaints about his criminal conviction in New York with musings about the potentially consequential political clash.
00:42:03.000 By the way, I do have a question about the format of the debate that I'm not sure has been answered as of yet.
00:42:07.000 There's supposed to be two commercial breaks in the middle of the debate.
00:42:10.000 Is Joe Biden allowed to sit down?
00:42:11.000 This is a serious question.
00:42:13.000 Is Joe Biden allowed to, like, get a breather for two and a half minutes and get pumped up with a child's blood in the meantime, like go in the back room, snort some coke, come back out?
00:42:21.000 Real question, since Joe Biden tends to fade real fast when those uppers start to come down.
00:42:28.000 In this rally, Trump mocked Biden for holing up behind closed doors at Camp David, and he suggested the president would turn to illicit substances to boost his performance, which, I mean, kind of.
00:42:36.000 Here was Trump complaining about Biden's senility.
00:42:38.000 I go for two hours without teleprompters.
00:42:41.000 And if I say one word slightly out, they say he's cognitively impaired.
00:42:50.000 Whereas Biden can run into walls.
00:42:54.000 He can fall off the stage.
00:42:57.000 He can fall up the stairs.
00:42:58.000 He falls up.
00:43:09.000 He can turn around, listen to this, from 20,000 feet a paratrooper is landing right in front
00:43:16.000 of him.
00:43:17.000 Everybody, all the foreign leaders, they're watching.
00:43:21.000 And he turns around to look at a tree.
00:43:25.000 Right?
00:43:26.000 No.
00:43:29.000 And then they say it was fake.
00:43:31.000 He was fine.
00:43:32.000 And then the press goes along with it.
00:43:34.000 They go along with it.
00:43:36.000 They say, isn't it terrible the way they cover him now?
00:43:39.000 No, he's terrible.
00:43:40.000 The worst president in history by far.
00:43:42.000 And we have to get him out or this country is not going to survive.
00:43:46.000 I was glad to see that Trump actually started to talk about increasing the expectations.
00:43:53.000 The expectations, because Trump is making jokes about his senility, are super low for Biden, but Trump is starting to raise those expectations this week, and he should.
00:44:01.000 He needs to spend this entire week raising expectations for Biden sufficient that Biden has to do more than just remain breathing during the debate.
00:44:08.000 At this particular event, for example, he claimed that Biden would, quote, get a shot in the ass ahead of the bout and then come on stage all jacked up, which, by the way, is totally true.
00:44:18.000 Trump also said that he would love to have RFK join him and Biden on stage.
00:44:22.000 Kennedy failed to qualify.
00:44:23.000 That's a smart political move by Trump because it looks like he's welcoming a third party candidate, whereas Joe Biden can't stand a third party candidate.
00:44:31.000 So again, if Trump is disciplined, if he can win this, I honestly think that if Trump is disciplined, If he performs well in this debate, you could start to see the polls really break open for Trump.
00:44:44.000 This could start to look like a blowout pretty quickly.
00:44:47.000 It's an inflection point.
00:44:48.000 But that requires Trump to actually keep control of himself, not get angry, stay contained.
00:44:57.000 And I think that it looks like he might in fact do all those things, which would be, you know, a pleasant surprise, I think, to everybody involved.
00:45:04.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:45:05.000 First, are you still struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns?

00:46:04.000 That is TNUSA.com slash Shapiro.
00:46:06.000 Okay, meanwhile, the rest of the world continues to be a powder keg because of the failures of the current president of the United States.
00:46:15.000 Over the weekend, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, repeated his claims that the U.S.
00:46:19.000 was delaying arms shipments, which of course is absolutely true.
00:46:22.000 So the Biden administration tried to claim that that was not the case.
00:46:24.000 That was a lie.
00:46:25.000 It turns out that the Biden administration has been not using its emergency authority in order to expedite the shipment of weapons to Israel.
00:46:34.000 The reason that's important, by the way, is because the more armed Israel is, the less likely there is to be a war in the north.
00:46:40.000 If Israel is perceived as weak by Which is the controlling party in southern Lebanon.
00:46:45.000 And Lebanon's a sovereign country, by the way.
00:46:47.000 So really, if there were to be a war up there, it would not be a war between Israel and Lebanon.
00:46:50.000 It would be a war between Israel and Lebanon.
00:46:52.000 And there's a strong case to be made that Israel should go directly at Beirut.
00:46:55.000 Because if the drug cartels were attacking America from across the southern border, with the go-ahead of the central government in Mexico City, the United States would hit Mexico City.
00:47:07.000 It wouldn't just hit the border area.
00:47:09.000 So, Israel is going to have to exert pressure on Beirut.
00:47:11.000 They're going to have to exert pressure on southern Lebanon.
00:47:13.000 But, the stronger Israel looks, the less likely that God is going to want that war.
00:47:19.000 And by the way, I'm just going to point out that given the slow walking of the aid to Israel, if there is a war in southern Lebanon, Israel is not going to have the ability to be nearly as meticulous as it has been in the Gaza Strip.
00:47:31.000 Now, I know people in the Israeli military who have shown me the actual tapes of how Israeli drones are taking down terrorists, like one by one in cars.
00:47:40.000 That's how meticulous they're being.
00:47:41.000 The ordinance that they're using to fire at members is about this big.
00:47:49.000 They're not using 2,000 pound bombs to go after particular members, of course.
00:47:53.000 But that's because they have the weaponry.
00:47:55.000 If they don't have the weaponry, And if they are pressed to the brink by which has something now like 400,000 rockets with targeting mechanisms on many of them, pointed at skyscrapers in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
00:48:06.000 If that happens, Israel is not going to go kind.
00:48:08.000 They're not going to go targeted.
00:48:10.000 They're going to go all out and it's going to be really bloody and it's going to be unbelievably ugly.
00:48:13.000 So if Joe Biden would like to avoid that, perhaps he should intervene with the Beirut government and tell them to get their asses off the line.
00:48:21.000 But is Joe Biden doing any of that?
00:48:22.000 Of course not.
00:48:23.000 He's just angry at Netanyahu for mentioning that he slow walked the aid.
00:48:27.000 So Netanyahu reiterated that over the weekend at the start of a weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday.
00:48:32.000 He defended his decision to release an English language video because he said that Biden is basically lying about this.
00:48:37.000 He said, The White House keeps lying about this.
00:48:38.000 to our American friends to speed up the shipments.
00:48:40.000 We did it time and time again.
00:48:41.000 We did it at the senior echelons and at all levels.
00:48:43.000 I want to emphasize, we did it in private chambers.
00:48:45.000 We got all sorts of explanations, but we didn't get one thing.
00:48:47.000 The basic situation did not change.
00:48:49.000 Certain items trickled in, but the bulk of armaments were left behind.
00:48:54.000 The White House keeps lying about this.
00:48:55.000 I mean, they are legitimately lying about this.
00:48:57.000 As Tom Cotton has pointed out, it is not merely 2,000-pound bombs that have been held up.
00:49:02.000 It is a wide variety of munitions that have been held up.
00:49:06.000 He charges the administration is holding up fighter jets, tactical vehicles, mortars, tank shells, and other munitions by not informing Congress of plans to ship them.
00:49:13.000 So basically letting it get caught up in all the bureaucratic red tape.
00:49:16.000 And meanwhile, that means that the chances of war in the North heighten, because Joe Biden is adult.
00:49:19.000 If he doesn't want a war in the North, by the time the convention comes around, he should let Israel finish up major military operations in Gaza, go into full-time mop-up operations, which will look like Janine or Nablus in the West Bank, and then allow Israel to go up North, well-armed and intimidated into pulling back off the border, with the help of the United States, because it probably will require the United States intervening with the Beirut government and saying, listen, if you guys start something, It's not going to be a long war.
00:49:44.000 America's not going to be particularly happy with that.
00:49:49.000 That is what Joe Biden ought to be doing.
00:49:51.000 But, you know, Joe Biden is... It's amazing.
00:49:53.000 While Joe Biden is slow-walking aid to American allies ranging from Ukraine to Israel, certainly China is not.
00:50:01.000 It turns out that even Taiwan is now short on the kind of drones it needs in order to protect itself, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:50:08.000 Taiwan could find itself in a lopsided conflict.
00:50:10.000 China, which fields the world's largest navy, claims the self-governed island as part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to take control of it.
00:50:18.000 Taiwan has been looking at Ukrainian defense and they're looking at some of its tactics like a national drone team.
00:50:22.000 The problem is a lot of these drones are being developed, you guessed it, in China.
00:50:29.000 This administration has done such a piss-poor job of keeping the world on the straight and narrow, it is absolutely astonishing.
00:50:35.000 And it's just another factor, by the way, that is leading the world to move to the right more generally.
00:50:39.000 Because it turns out that if America is not your umbrella, a lot of other nations, they're like, you know what, we're not letting in immigrants, and we don't feel like letting Joe Biden dictate terms to us.
00:50:47.000 We don't trust Joe Biden enough.
00:50:50.000 As the New York Times points out, At the heart of the rapid rise of the nationalist right, with its view of immigrants as a direct threat to the essence of France, there appears to lie a growing feeling among many French people they are no longer at home in their own country.
00:51:03.000 That is correct.
00:51:04.000 This message, echoed by rising nationalist parties across Europe and a central theme of Donald Trump's presidential campaign in the United States, has proved potent.
00:51:12.000 Nations need effective borders that can be sealed tight.
00:51:14.000 That is the message.
00:51:15.000 You wonder why that is?
00:51:17.000 It's because you want to talk about the actual globalism of Joe Biden?
00:51:20.000 The idea that borders don't matter?
00:51:21.000 The idea that there is a family of nations in which everyone can be simply wheedled into doing the right thing?
00:51:27.000 No one who has a prefrontal cortex and can look at the world with any level of rationality agrees with Joe Biden on that because it's ridiculous.
00:51:35.000 Okay, you know what, folks?
00:51:36.000 It's been a dark time in the news, and so it's time to do a thing I like.
00:51:39.000 I know we're bringing it back.
00:51:40.000 We're bringing it back better than ever.
00:51:41.000 A thing I like.
00:51:42.000 You know, books that I've been reading, music I've been listening to, movies I've seen, TV stuff.
00:51:45.000 You know, fun stuff.
00:51:47.000 So, today's thing I like is from my friend David Horowitz.
00:51:50.000 David is an institution in the conservative movement.
00:51:52.000 He runs the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
00:51:54.000 He's written a huge number of books.
00:51:55.000 He has a brand new book out.
00:51:56.000 It's called America Betrayed.
00:51:58.000 It is totally worth the read.
00:51:59.000 In it, he traces the roots of American ideology all the way back to Martin Luther.
00:52:03.000 And then forward through the secular assault on American ideology.
00:52:07.000 The book is totally worth your time.
00:52:09.000 You should go pick up a copy of it right now at Amazon.
00:52:11.000 David's books are virtually always worth your time.
00:52:14.000 Again, he's a terrific writer.
00:52:15.000 He's very clear and he does not pull his punches.
00:52:17.000 That book, again, is David Horowitz's America Betrayed.
00:52:21.000 Alrighty, coming up, I'm gonna do the thing that I hate.
00:52:23.000 It's about Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun.
00:52:27.000 Guess which side you think I'm going to take.
