00:00:00.000 The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals puts a hold on Joe Biden's vaccine mandate, a handful of congressional Republicans hand Democrats a win on infrastructure, and California rewrites how math should be taught.
00:00:09.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:00:10.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:17.000 Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.
00:00:19.000 Stand up for your digital rights.
00:00:20.000 Take action at expressvpn.com slash Ben.
00:00:23.000 We'll get to all the news in just one moment.
00:00:25.000 First, here is your reminder.
00:00:26.000 Black Friday isn't when you should start saving money.
00:00:28.000 You should start saving money right now by switching over to Pure Talk USA, because here's the thing.
00:00:32.000 You're paying way too much for your cell phone bill.
00:00:35.000 You could be cutting that thing in half if you switch over to PureTalk.
00:00:37.000 PureTalk gives you killer 5G coverage on one of the largest 5G networks in the country and still saves the average family over $800 a year.
00:00:44.000 I made the switch, the coverage is excellent, their US-based customer service actually cares about you, and PureTalk's prices are pretty much wholesale.
00:00:51.000 We've got unlimited talk text and six gigs of data for just $30 a month.
00:00:54.000 You can keep your number, keep your phone, or this month you can get Black Friday prices on new phones, like the iPhone 12, for just $479, which is a major savings.
00:01:02.000 They've got a 30-day risk-free guarantee.
00:01:04.000 You really have nothing to lose.
00:01:05.000 Now you might think you need one of the big providers.
00:01:07.000 They use one of the same cell phone coverage situations as the big cell phone coverage providers.
00:01:07.000 You don't.
00:01:12.000 So why not switch over to PeerTalk at the same exact coverage as one of the big guys for half the price?
00:01:16.000 Go to puretalk.com, shop for the plan and phone that's right for you.
00:01:19.000 Enter promo code Shapiro.
00:01:20.000 You'll save 50% off your first month and save on a new phone.
00:01:23.000 That's puretalk.com, promo code Shapiro.
00:01:26.000 Pure Talk is simply smarter wireless.
00:01:28.000 Some restrictions apply.
00:01:29.000 See site for details.
00:01:31.000 Alrighty, so Joe Biden is flailing.
00:01:33.000 The man has a lot of trouble.
00:01:35.000 Bill Beckbetter is basically dead on arrival.
00:01:37.000 He just got shellacked in Virginia.
00:01:39.000 He nearly lost the governorship of New Jersey for his party.
00:01:42.000 He just came back from COP26, this giant global warming conference, with nothing, like with really nothing.
00:01:49.000 And people mocking him openly at this point.
00:01:51.000 The biggest story so far to emerge from COP26 involving Joe Biden comes courtesy of the UK Daily Mail, quote, he is supposed to be committed to reducing emissions.
00:02:00.000 When President Joe Biden produced a little natural gas of his own at the COP26 summit, It was audible enough to make the Duchess of Cornwall blush.
00:02:07.000 An informed source has told the Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.
00:02:17.000 Which is always great.
00:02:18.000 Fresh on the heels of rumors that he had literally crapped his pants in the Vatican.
00:02:23.000 It was long and loud and impossible to ignore what the source said.
00:02:28.000 Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it.
00:02:30.000 The President met the Duchess during a reception on Monday at the Kelvin Grove Art Gallery, attended by Prince Charles, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Boris Johnson.
00:02:38.000 Just hours earlier, the 78-year-old, nicknamed Sleepy Joe by Donald Trump, had appeared to doze off during the opening addresses, prompting more questions from his political rivals over his fitness for office.
00:02:47.000 This is not the first time that Biden has faced claims that he broke wind publicly.
00:02:51.000 In May 2020, Republicans including Donald Trump Jr.
00:02:53.000 posted a video clip of Biden containing a suspicious noise while live streaming an exchange with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf.
00:02:59.000 However, a separate video which circulated last month and briefly trended on Twitter under Fartgate was found to have been doctored to include fake flatulence.
00:03:06.000 So... 0.99
00:03:07.000 Yeah, it's always great when the big headline coming out of a global warming reduction conference is that you have emitted carbon from your ass. 1.00
00:03:17.000 That's always a great look. 0.99
00:03:18.000 And again, that is just, I think, writ small what this Biden administration is right now.
00:03:23.000 The American people are unhappy with the Biden administration.
00:03:25.000 They've done nothing of note on the foreign policy stage other than to make a bunch of weird noises over at this COP26 conference and then also surrender Afghanistan.
00:03:33.000 Oh yeah, I forgot.
00:03:34.000 Also, the U.S.
00:03:37.000 Navy is now commissioning the USS Harvey Milk because we need a Navy ship. 0.93
00:03:41.000 We need to name a Navy ship after a gay rights activist who also in his life was pretty credibly having sex with underage guys. 0.69
00:03:50.000 Definitely need a navy ship named after that. 0.97
00:03:53.000 Meanwhile, the Chinese are developing like a thousand nuclear weapons. 0.94
00:03:53.000 That's great. 0.94
00:03:56.000 So things are going great for the Biden administration.
00:03:59.000 And here's the thing.
00:04:00.000 It doesn't seem like things are set to get better anytime soon for Joe Biden.
00:04:04.000 In fact, last week you saw that Joe Biden Snapped at Peter Doocy from Fox News when Doocy read a Wall Street Journal report and pointed out that the Biden administration was reportedly going to give $450,000 to people who had crossed the border illegally and been separated from their families.
00:04:20.000 And Biden just yelled at Peter Doocy.
00:04:22.000 And then it turns out that he was wrong and his own administration had to walk it back.
00:04:25.000 Well, then over the weekend, he snapped again at a Fox News reporter, this time snapping by saying, why wouldn't you want me to pay them?
00:04:30.000 So remember, just a few hours earlier, he was like, how, why would you say that?
00:04:35.000 No one's getting paid and no one's getting paid.
00:04:38.000 And now he's like, why would you be angry for paying people?
00:04:41.000 What's wrong?
00:04:42.000 There we go. 0.99
00:04:45.000 You said last week that this report about migrant families at the border getting payments was garbage. 0.99
00:04:52.000 No, I didn't say that. 0.97
00:04:53.000 Let's get it straight.
00:04:54.000 You said everybody coming across the border gets $450,000.
00:04:58.000 The number was what you had a problem with?
00:05:01.000 The number that I was referring to.
00:05:03.000 Now here's the thing.
00:05:03.000 Okay.
00:05:05.000 If in fact, because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration, So now he's just as angry about people correctly reporting it as he was when he thought that they were misreporting it.
00:05:14.000 He's very angry!
00:05:15.000 You lost your child.
00:05:17.000 It's gone.
00:05:18.000 You deserve some kind of compensation no matter what the circumstance.
00:05:22.000 So now he's just as angry about people correctly reporting it as he was when he thought that they were misreporting it.
00:05:28.000 He's very angry.
00:05:29.000 If you lost your child.
00:05:31.000 Okay, this isn't going well for Joe Biden.
00:05:33.000 He's completely inauthentic.
00:05:35.000 Nobody takes him seriously.
00:05:36.000 He's literally farting on the world stage.
00:05:38.000 He is leaving stinkers on the world stage.
00:05:42.000 Even the media have now turned on him to a certain extent.
00:05:44.000 ABC's Good Morning America did a report on the supply chain impact on normal families across the country.
00:05:50.000 It didn't look great for Joe Biden.
00:05:52.000 But this year, like Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving, you may have to trim your list of trimmings.
00:05:58.000 What kind of a Thanksgiving dinner is this?
00:06:00.000 Where's the turkey, Chuck?
00:06:02.000 Top turkey seller Butterball says it doesn't expect an overall gobbler shortage, but if you're hunting for a smaller bird, they could be tough to find.
00:06:11.000 And it's not just the main dish at risk of running afoul for your cranberry sides.
00:06:16.000 Ocean Spray tells ABC it's committed to meeting customer demand, but experienced a variety of supply chain challenges.
00:06:23.000 OK, and so Joe Biden's response to this is to get super angry at everybody for pointing out the supply chain challenges, which, again, have been exacerbated by bad union contracts at the ports, which have been facilitated by Democrats for decades, as well as the giant labor shortage that continues to hamper the economic recovery.
00:06:39.000 By the way, there's some very good statistical evidence to demonstrate that the labor uptick that we saw last month was almost completely due to the fact that all of those benefits the federal government was providing people to stay home started to run out.
00:06:51.000 And so people started to go back to work.
00:06:52.000 The charts are very telling on that particular subject.
00:06:55.000 So in a second, we'll get to Joe Biden's response to the supply chain crisis.
00:06:57.000 And it's always just indignation, just indignation of being questioned.
00:07:00.000 This is the thing about Joe Biden.
00:07:01.000 He's always been this.
00:07:03.000 I know that we were supposed to pretend that he was super empathetic and wonderful.
00:07:07.000 He was the kind of guy who's going to sniff your hair and rub your shoulders and make you feel better about yourself or alternatively just sniff your hair and rub your shoulders and make you feel creepy. 0.99
00:07:14.000 But Joe Biden has always been the jerk who yells at you if you if you cross him. 1.00
00:07:19.000 And he's always been the guy who, if you cross him, he says, well, fat, look fat. 1.00
00:07:24.000 He's always been that guy.
00:07:25.000 We'll get to more of this from Joe Biden in just one second.
00:07:27.000 First, let's talk about a podcast that you might want to give a listen to.
00:07:30.000 I'm talking, of course, about the Jordan Harbinger Show.
00:07:33.000 It's a podcast you really should give a try.
00:07:34.000 I know every day somebody tells you you have to listen to some podcast or other, you mostly just blow it off, but you shouldn't blow it off.
00:07:39.000 We are fans of Jordan Harbinger's show here at The Daily Wire.
00:07:42.000 Jordan's show, which Apple named one of its best of 2018, is aimed at making you a better informed, more critical thinker, so you can get a sense of how the world actually works and come to your own conclusions about what's happening even inside your own brain.
00:07:53.000 Each episode is a conversation with a different fascinating guest.
00:07:56.000 And when I say there's something for everyone here, I mean that.
00:07:58.000 I mean, he talks to people like hostage negotiators from the FBI or Kobe Bryant or Jack Schafer.
00:08:02.000 It's just something different and new pretty much every time.
00:08:05.000 And even if you disagree with Jordan, you'll find something that you find interesting, even though I don't always agree with Jordan.
00:08:10.000 I'm not sure Jordan always agrees with Jordan.
00:08:11.000 You'll find something fascinating and you'll learn something by listening to his show.
00:08:14.000 We here at Daily Wire enjoy the show.
00:08:16.000 You will too.
00:08:17.000 Check out jordanharbinger.com slash start for some episode recommendations or Search for The Jordan Harbinger Show.
00:08:22.000 That's H-A-R-B as in boy, I-N as in Nancy, G-E-R on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
00:08:29.000 Alrighty, so, Joe Biden has a problem with supply chains, right?
00:08:33.000 All the prices are going up.
00:08:34.000 People are not gonna get what they need in time for the holidays.
00:08:36.000 Everything is taking a really long time to be delivered at this point.
00:08:39.000 And so Joe Biden's solution to this is to yell at the reporters and the American people.
00:08:43.000 It's they who don't understand.
00:08:45.000 You're stunning!
00:08:45.000 Don't you know?
00:08:48.000 He just kind of keels over.
00:08:49.000 Here's Joe Biden.
00:08:51.000 If we were all going out and having lunch together and I said, let's ask whoever's in the next table, no matter what restaurant we're in, have them explain the supply chain to us.
00:09:05.000 Think they'd understand what we're talking about?
00:09:07.000 All I can say is what I'm going to try to do is explain to the American people as best I can.
00:09:14.000 And by the way, you all write for a living.
00:09:17.000 I haven't seen any one of you explain the supply chain very well.
00:09:21.000 No, no, I'm not being critical.
00:09:23.000 I'm being deadly earnest.
00:09:24.000 When your editor says, explain the supply chain.
00:09:28.000 Okay?
00:09:29.000 I'd love to hear Joe Biden explain the supply chain.
00:09:31.000 I mean, honestly, I'm not sure which end more hot air comes out of when it comes to Joe Biden.
00:09:38.000 I really don't know.
00:09:39.000 I mean, he's just... I have love for him.
00:09:42.000 Really.
00:09:43.000 Give us a disquisition on the supply chain, Joe.
00:09:45.000 By the way, the media coverage on the supply chain hasn't been wrong.
00:09:47.000 I've read the articles on the air from the Wall Street Journal in detail about the supply chain.
00:09:50.000 From Scott Lentz to come, I've read details about the supply chain.
00:09:53.000 I've read you from National Review.
00:09:54.000 I've read you from the New York Times.
00:09:55.000 Joe Biden doesn't know anything about the supply chain because Joe Biden doesn't know anything about anything. 1.00
00:10:00.000 But you, the American people, are ignorant. 1.00
00:10:02.000 You are ignorant. 1.00
00:10:03.000 When you go to the grocery store and you're paying like 30% more than you were six months ago, that's because you're stupid. 1.00
00:10:09.000 If you only understood, you'd know that Joe Biden is doing all the right things. 1.00
00:10:13.000 The magic is happening. 1.00
00:10:13.000 You're just too ignorant. 1.00
00:10:14.000 And the reason you're too ignorant is not because Joe Biden is bad at his job. 1.00
00:10:17.000 It's because the media, who pretty much spend every waking moment trying to clean up Joe Biden's mess, the one that he made in his bed every morning, The media, whose job it is to be his night nurse, along with Jen Psaki and the White House press office, he's saying they don't do a good enough job. 0.99
00:10:32.000 He's the one crapping the bed.
00:10:33.000 It's just everybody else is doing a bad enough job or noticing that it stinks.
00:10:36.000 And then Joe Biden was trying to brag about the economy on Friday.
00:10:39.000 Again, all of this is just you wonder why he's flailing because he's flailing because he is who he is and his administration is very bad at this.
00:10:47.000 America's getting back to work. 0.88
00:10:49.000 Our economy is starting to work for more Americans.
00:10:52.000 Thanks to the economic plan we put through in Congress earlier this year, and a successful vaccine deployment, America continues to add jobs at a record pace.
00:11:02.000 It's historically a strong recovery.
00:11:05.000 Unemployment rate has fallen again today, down to 4.6%.
00:11:08.000 This included a substantial drop in unemployment for Hispanics, which was much needed.
00:11:15.000 Our economy is on the move.
00:11:17.000 Okay, well, it would be a lot more on the move if you get the hell out of the way.
00:11:21.000 And that means, if you would stop with this vaccine mandate nonsense.
00:11:24.000 Because a lot of people are going to drop out of the workforce because, again, the vax mandate is going to force them to either vax or get fired come January 4th.
00:11:32.000 And there's some testing provisions, those could go away under a permanent OSHA rule.
00:11:36.000 So Joe Biden spent the same day that he was talking up the economic response, the same day he was talking up what a wonderful job he was doing on the supply chain, he was pushing forward a vaccine mandate that is in fact not popular.
00:11:45.000 I'm sorry, it isn't.
00:11:46.000 The polls show that 50% of Americans, this is the last poll that I saw, I think it was ABC News, 50% of Americans don't like the vaccine mandates, 47% of Americans do like the vaccine mandates, and of people who really, really dislike the vaccine mandates, It's like 41% really dislike the vaccine mandates, as opposed to low 30s who really, really like the vaccine mandates.
00:12:03.000 In other words, as this begins to hit home, and as people realize that they are not, in fact, if they are vaccinated, at risk from the unvaccinated, this is particularly true once this Pfizer pill comes out that's supposed to reduce hospitalization and death after a COVID diagnosis by somewhere upward of 90%, then why exactly would they be listening to Joe Biden about the popularity of vaccine mandates?
00:12:25.000 But he has to push it.
00:12:26.000 So here he was pushing it.
00:12:28.000 These requirements have broad public support.
00:12:31.000 And they work.
00:12:33.000 Already, we've seen organizations that have adopted vaccination requirements increase their vaccination rates by more than 20 percentage points, often as high as over 90%.
00:12:45.000 This is good for the workers, for their colleagues, for their loved ones, and for their communities.
00:12:50.000 It's also good for the economy.
00:12:53.000 Okay, I'm going to need some evidence on any of this stuff.
00:12:56.000 Why is it good for workers to be forced to take something that they don't want to take?
00:13:00.000 Why is that good for them?
00:13:02.000 It may be his judgment that it's good for them.
00:13:04.000 I may think that they should.
00:13:05.000 But it seems to me that in a free country, you get to make that call, particularly if you are young and healthy.
00:13:10.000 But the idea is that you don't get to make that call. 0.99
00:13:12.000 This old doddering fool gets to make that call for you. 0.96
00:13:15.000 Well, there is a piece of good news here, and that is that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has now stayed the vaccine mandate in its entirety. 0.96
00:13:22.000 According to WIBW, one day after Kansas joined six other states in a lawsuit in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to stay the OSHA COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the Fifth Circuit stayed the Biden administration's move.
00:13:32.000 So we here at Daily Wire, we did file a federal lawsuit with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, so we are waiting on that.
00:13:37.000 In the meantime, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order to stay the entire mandate.
00:13:44.000 And the entirety of their stay was basically, this doesn't even look remotely constitutional, It's like a page-and-a-half order.
00:13:51.000 It just says, quote, That's literally the whole thing.
00:14:02.000 They don't get into any details.
00:14:03.000 They don't really explain it. 0.96
00:14:04.000 They're just like, yeah, on the face of this, this thing is bullcrap, and we are not going to stand for it.
00:14:08.000 So no, they are not popular.
00:14:10.000 No, there is no evidence that they make a large-scale difference.
00:14:12.000 And no, they're not constitutional in all likelihood.
00:14:16.000 So Joe Biden is on the ropes, right?
00:14:18.000 And it gets worse for Joe Biden.
00:14:20.000 Because Build Back Better is on the ropes as well.
00:14:23.000 Remember, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema now have no interest in passing Build Back Better as it is currently constituted.
00:14:28.000 The Democrats keep lying and saying that they have the support of all Democrats on Build Back Better.
00:14:32.000 They do not have the support of Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, both of whom are from either red or purple states.
00:14:38.000 And what exactly is the incentive structure for Manchin to vote for Build Back Better now?
00:14:42.000 To give Joe Biden what he wants?
00:14:43.000 Especially when Joe Biden is playing all sorts of numeric games with the bill.
00:14:47.000 The bill is not $1.75 trillion.
00:14:48.000 It's more like $4 trillion.
00:14:48.000 It's not $1.85 trillion.
00:14:52.000 Because they play all these little games where they set up a program that expires in a year knowing that it won't expire in a year.
00:14:59.000 Joe Manchin knows that.
00:15:00.000 Kyrsten Sinema knows that.
00:15:01.000 And so Joe Biden, his signature piece of legislation is Build Back Better, and that is falling apart.
00:15:06.000 Nancy Pelosi on Friday wanted to bring up Build Back Better for a vote in the House. 1.00
00:15:11.000 She couldn't get the vote.
00:15:12.000 The vote just didn't exist for it.
00:15:13.000 So here is Nancy Pelosi pushing Build Back Better. 1.00
00:15:15.000 She was literally getting laughed at in the room by Republicans.
00:15:19.000 If you're talking about how we want to have immediate and enduring difference for the workers and families, creating jobs, securing middle class tax cuts, lowering costs for families, and making the wealthiest pay their fair share, all the while contributing to reducing the national debt.
00:15:39.000 Making everyone pay their fair share.
00:15:41.000 Did I hear a laugh over there?
00:15:43.000 Did I hear a laugh from those who added $2 trillion in tax cuts for the richest people in America?
00:15:48.000 83% of it going to the top 1%.
00:15:48.000 1%.
00:15:53.000 This is paid for.
00:15:55.000 And more than paid for.
00:15:56.000 So people were laughing at her because she said it was going to contribute to lowering the deficit, which 100% it will not do.
00:16:01.000 And people are laughing at her at the room.
00:16:01.000 100%.
00:16:03.000 No, you can't laugh at me.
00:16:05.000 You guys raised the national debt by cutting taxes.
00:16:09.000 Okay, the spending never went down.
00:16:11.000 That is true.
00:16:12.000 You guys are raising the national debt by blowing out the spending to record levels.
00:16:16.000 And you don't even have the votes inside your own caucus for it.
00:16:18.000 We'll get to more of Joe Biden trying to strong arm Build Back Better into reality in just one second.

00:17:28.000 so Joe Biden is trying to push Build Back Better as well.
00:17:32.000 And he's doing so with class warfare nonsense that's going nowhere.
00:17:35.000 So on Friday, he said, you know, the wealthy added value to the country, but they didn't build the country.
00:17:40.000 No, it was government, apparently, according to Joe Biden, who built the country.
00:17:44.000 The wealthy are value added to the country, but they didn't build the country.
00:17:51.000 Hard working middle class folks are the ones that built this country.
00:17:56.000 They're the ones that built the middle class. 1.00
00:17:58.000 They're the ones that built the backbone of the country.
00:18:01.000 And what I decided to do was I said we have to begin to build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out.
00:18:08.000 Well, folks, that hadn't been the case.
00:18:12.000 I'm so tired about trickle-down economic theory that I'm trickled out.
00:18:16.000 He is trickled out.
00:18:17.000 I mean, in a wide variety of ways, things are trickling out of Joe Biden.
00:18:22.000 It's unfortunate, but that sphincter is just not operating as it used to.
00:18:26.000 You hit a certain age in life and things begin to fall apart on you pretty fast.
00:18:30.000 By the way, when he says stuff like the wealthy didn't build this country, let's just be clear about something.
00:18:35.000 In the United States, the way that people become wealthy is by building the country.
00:18:38.000 That is the way that you become wealthy in the United States.
00:18:40.000 You generate products and services and goods that other people need.
00:18:43.000 It's not as though there's a class of people called the wealthy and they build the country.
00:18:48.000 The notion that hereditary wealth is what drives the United States is not true.
00:18:52.000 The vast majority of people who become wealthy in the United States did not start off wealthy.
00:18:57.000 I mean, every wealthy person that I personally know did not start off wealthy.
00:19:01.000 Virtually all of them.
00:19:02.000 That includes me, it includes my business partners. 0.72
00:19:05.000 My business partners were dirt poor.
00:19:07.000 So this notion that if you are wealthy now, you didn't help build the country, that it was quote-unquote the middle class who built the country.
00:19:12.000 There is no group of people who are called the middle class.
00:19:15.000 You're not middle class your entire life.
00:19:16.000 My parents went from being low income to middle income to high income to retiring, right?
00:19:21.000 This is what happens over the course of most Americans' lives.
00:19:23.000 That's what happens in a free country, where there's income mobility.
00:19:27.000 But Joe Biden is trying to push the notion that the federal government has got to spend ungodly amounts of money because somehow this is going to spur growth.
00:19:34.000 Somehow this is going to do it.
00:19:36.000 And it's failing.
00:19:37.000 He just doesn't have support for any of this.
00:19:39.000 He can't get the progressives together with the moderates in his own wing.
00:19:42.000 He can't do it.
00:19:43.000 He's having a tough time on Build Back Better.
00:19:46.000 And reporters are asking about it.
00:19:47.000 They're saying to Joe Biden, you know, as we'll get to in a second, the Republicans are blowing this nearly as bad as Biden is because of course they are.
00:19:53.000 Of course they are.
00:19:54.000 But a reporter said to Biden over the weekend, you know, you're not going to have GOP votes for for Build Back Better to get you over the finish line.
00:19:59.000 So what exactly is your plan here?
00:20:02.000 To get this first agenda item over the finish line, you need Republican votes.
00:20:06.000 You're not going to have Republican votes, though, for your Build Back Better agenda.
00:20:06.000 Sure.
00:20:10.000 Isn't it doomed?
00:20:11.000 I think what's going to happen is we're going to see what happens in the Senate and whether or not I need only Democratic votes, which is likely.
00:20:19.000 This is a likely outcome.
00:20:20.000 And the question is, can I get all of those votes?
00:20:22.000 This is a process.
00:20:24.000 And all along, you've told me I can't do any of it anyway.
00:20:30.000 He is so obnoxious between his screaming at people about how upset he is about Trump and his weird gazing into camera and leaning forward all creepy like he's living in a sewer and waiting for a small child to come and he's going to attract him with a balloon.
00:20:46.000 I don't know what's going on with Joe Biden, but that guy is, there's a reason why he's in the low 40s in terms of his approval rating.
00:20:52.000 Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, he says pretty obvious at this point that every element of Joe Biden's agenda is a failure.
00:20:57.000 This is correct, of course.
00:21:00.000 Every element of his philosophy and policy has been a failure.
00:21:04.000 And it's not my opinion.
00:21:06.000 It's the opinion of the millions of people who just voted last Tuesday to send him a very clear message.
00:21:11.000 But Nancy Pelosi and President Biden are tied together.
00:21:15.000 Because two times he's come down to these chambers and asked people to vote for those failed policies.
00:21:23.000 Okay, and two times he failed.
00:21:25.000 And then on Friday, they failed again with regard to Build Back Better because Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are not on board with this.
00:21:31.000 And Joe Biden continues to fail, right?
00:21:33.000 And it's going to continue to drive failure across the board in 2022, which Democrats know and which they are extremely scared of.
00:21:38.000 There's an article in the Washington Post today about Joe Biden's failures in rural areas, which are getting worse.
00:21:43.000 Politico, similar article.
00:21:44.000 There's an article in the New York Times today called Democrats Thought They Bottomed Out in Rural White America.
00:21:49.000 It was not the bottom.
00:21:50.000 Quote, the increasingly liberal politics of Virginia have been a sore spot for residents of this conservative town of 499 people nestled in the Allegheny Mountains.
00:21:57.000 But this past week, as Republicans stormed to marquee victories powered in part by turnout in rural areas like Bath County, local voters cheered.
00:22:05.000 We got our Virginia back, said Elaine Neff, a 61-year-old resident.
00:22:08.000 We haven't had a win in a long time.
00:22:09.000 Neff said she cried from a mix of happiness and relief after the election.
00:22:12.000 She doesn't want to take the COVID vaccine.
00:22:14.000 She believes Glenn Youngkin will relax state mandates.
00:22:17.000 Outside a nearby grocery store, Charles Hamilton taunted the Democrats.
00:22:19.000 He said, we're a county of old country folk who want to do what they want.
00:22:22.000 They found out the hard way.
00:22:24.000 In the jigsaw puzzle that is electoral politics, Democrats have often focused their energy on swingy suburbs and voter-rich cities, content to mostly ignore many white rural communities that lean conservative.
00:22:33.000 The belief was, in part, that the party had already bottomed out there, especially during the Trump era.
00:22:38.000 Virginia, however, is proof.
00:22:39.000 It can get worse.
00:22:40.000 In 2008, there were only four small Virginia counties where Republicans won 70% or more of the vote in that year's presidential race.
00:22:48.000 Nowhere was the party above 75%.
00:22:50.000 This year, Youngkin was above 70% in 45 counties.
00:22:52.000 Forty-five.
00:22:52.000 It says four in 2008.
00:22:53.000 45 counties, 45, it says four in 2008.
00:22:57.000 This year, Youngkin was above 70% in 45 counties and above 80% in 15 of them.
00:23:03.000 Steve Bullock, former Democratic governor of Montana, said, look at some of these rural counties in Virginia Folks don't feel like we're offering them anything or hearing or listening to them.
00:23:13.000 This is, of course, correct.
00:23:15.000 The Democrats have abandoned the rural areas.
00:23:16.000 They've abandoned the non-college-educated white vote.
00:23:20.000 And the American people are fighting back against that because there's still a huge number of Americans who are white and non-college-educated.
00:23:26.000 And those people are voting increasingly for the Republicans.
00:23:28.000 But it's not just that.
00:23:29.000 The suburbs turned against Terry McAuliffe in Virginia.
00:23:32.000 In New Jersey, it was not about critical race theory.
00:23:35.000 In New Jersey, it was just about complete disapproval for Joe Biden's agenda.
00:23:40.000 And the more Democrats pursue woke nonsense, the worse it's going to get for them.
00:23:45.000 It's not going to pay off for them.
00:23:47.000 So Joe Biden is in serious trouble, right?
00:23:49.000 Joe Biden is flailing.
00:23:51.000 Joe Biden is falling apart. 1.00
00:23:52.000 Well, there's only one thing Joe Biden can count on, and that is for the Republicans to be just as stupid as he is. 1.00
00:23:58.000 And fortunately, he found some. 1.00
00:23:59.000 We'll get to that in just one second first.
00:24:01.000 Let us talk about how you keep your home safe and secure.

00:25:04.000 Okay, so, with Joe Biden flailing, you would imagine that Republicans would just let him flail, would you not?
00:25:09.000 That, of course, would be the smart move. 1.00
00:25:12.000 However, you can always count on Republicans to be as stupid as humanly possible, at least a small percentage of them. 0.98
00:25:18.000 Because, late on Friday, the House of Representatives passed a roughly $1 trillion public works bill, sending to President Biden's desk a generational investment in roads, bridges, and rail that had languished for several months as Democrats feuded over the terms of its approval. 0.99
00:25:31.000 Now, you'll remember that this thing has already passed the Senate.
00:25:34.000 And that Mitt Romney had voted for it, and that Susan Collins had voted for it, and Rob Portman in Ohio had voted for it.
00:25:38.000 And then Joe Biden didn't want the House to only vote on it.
00:25:42.000 Joe Biden wanted to tie that together with Build Back Better.
00:25:44.000 The idea being that if Manchin and Sinema wanted their bipartisan infrastructure plan passed, they would also have to vote in favor of Build Back Better.
00:25:52.000 Then it turned out that Manchin and Sinema weren't going to budge.
00:25:54.000 And then Biden was stuck in a pickle because the progressives said, we will not vote for bipartisan infrastructure unless we get a vote from Manchin and Sinema on Build Back Better.
00:26:03.000 Pramila Jayapal had led that way as well.
00:26:06.000 Well, late last week, Pramila Jayapal basically caved on it.
00:26:10.000 Pramila Jayapal was like, OK, fine.
00:26:11.000 You know what?
00:26:12.000 We know that we're not going to be able to hold up the bipartisan infrastructure plan to get Manchin and Sinema to cave.
00:26:17.000 So we do want that bipartisan infrastructure plan passed.
00:26:19.000 We will vote in favor of it with like a basic proviso that maybe we'll get a vote on Build Back Better sometime down the road.
00:26:27.000 And so, on Friday, a statement came out from the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, saying they will commit to voting for the Build Back Better Act in its current form, other than technical changes.
00:26:36.000 They still want the cost from the CBO.
00:26:38.000 By the week of November 15th, they say they will resolve any discrepancies that come up in the interim to get it passed.
00:26:42.000 But that doesn't matter, because again, mansion and cinema.
00:26:44.000 are the ones who actually matter in this particular conversation.
00:26:47.000 But then Pramila Jayapal put out a statement saying, quote, Tonight, members of the Progressive Caucus and our colleagues in the Democratic Caucus reached an agreement to advance both pieces of President Biden's legislative agenda.
00:26:56.000 Our colleagues have committed to voting for the transformative Build Back Better Act, as currently written, no later than the week of November 15th.
00:27:02.000 All of our colleagues have also committed to voting tonight on the rule to move the Build Back Better Act forward to codify this promise. The president has affirmed these members gave him the same commitment. OK, but there was one problem left. He had the progressives and the moderates saying we'll vote for some rule to push for Build Back Better, even though we know it's probably going to die a horrible, painful death in the Senate.
00:27:22.000 And we'll vote in favor of bipartisan infrastructure.
00:27:24.000 There was one problem.
00:27:25.000 You still had six outstanding Democrats, namely the squad and their adjunct members, who were voting against bipartisan infrastructure.
00:27:32.000 Democrats could only afford to lose three votes and still pass bipartisan infrastructure in the House.
00:27:37.000 So they've lost six, which means they didn't have the votes for either Build Back Better or for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act because they lacked the votes for bipartisan infrastructure in the House and they didn't have the votes for Build Back Better in the Senate.
00:27:48.000 So this is the point where if you're a Republican, you stand there and you let them flail.
00:27:51.000 You just let them flail, right?
00:27:53.000 Because why would you hand them a win? 1.00
00:27:55.000 Well, the answer is because Republicans, at least 13 of them, are just complete morons. 0.99
00:28:00.000 And or they're so eager to slap their own party in the face that they voted against the rest of their Republican colleagues in order to vote for this infrastructure plan, which again is a giant boondoggle. 0.99
00:28:10.000 It is $1.2 trillion of spending that are unnecessary.
00:28:13.000 The vast majority of infrastructure spending that needs to be done is supposed to be done at the state level.
00:28:18.000 The notion that America's infrastructure is completely failing, all of our bridges and roads are falling apart, it's not true.
00:28:23.000 In most non-partisan studies, the United States' infrastructure is, in the main, okay.
00:28:29.000 And if you want to upgrade it, that is something that can be done at the state level.
00:28:31.000 There's no reason why Florida should be paying for New York's infrastructure problems.
00:28:36.000 But, nonetheless, you had 13 Republicans who then voted in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure bill and handed the flailing Joe Biden, a falling apart Joe Biden, a win. 0.99
00:28:46.000 Which is just garbage. 1.00
00:28:47.000 It's just garbage. 1.00
00:28:49.000 It's Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee. 0.99
00:28:51.000 He says, yeah, there's no question the Republicans bailed Nancy Pelosi out right here.
00:28:56.000 How do you feel as a Republican about those 13 who voted for this?
00:29:02.000 Well, Neil, you recall that I fought this very hard in the Senate.
00:29:06.000 It was very surprising to me to see 13 Republicans basically bail Nancy Pelosi out.
00:29:11.000 She did not have the votes within her own party to do this.
00:29:14.000 We had 13 Republicans that decided to step up and help her in this way.
00:29:17.000 I think what they did was put themselves on a path to early retirement.
00:29:21.000 And that is correct.
00:29:23.000 Every person on the Republican side of the aisle who voted in favor of the infrastructure plan should get primary.
00:29:28.000 Every single one of these people.
00:29:30.000 They include some moderates, you know, people like Jeff Van Drew, who used to be a Democrat.
00:29:34.000 By the way, how many Republican members from New York alone voted for this thing?
00:29:40.000 One, two, let's see, one, two, three, four.
00:29:46.000 There are four from New York who voted for this, plus another two from New Jersey.
00:29:51.000 So basically, it's New York and New Jersey that voted in favor of this thing.
00:29:55.000 New York and New Jersey voted in favor of this thing, and everybody else was like, no, we're not doing it.
00:29:59.000 You had a couple of others.
00:30:00.000 You had Don Young from Alaska.
00:30:01.000 You had Fred Upton from Michigan.
00:30:03.000 But every single member who voted for this thing on the right side of the aisle should be primary.
00:30:07.000 You don't get to vote for Joe Biden's signature pieces of legislation at a time when we've already blown out the spending and when inflation is setting in and when we already have a debt-to-GDP ratio higher than at any time since World War II and then get to survive a primary challenge.
00:30:20.000 That is not something that should happen inside the Republican Party.
00:30:23.000 It's a disgrace.
00:30:25.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, Again, remember, he had to do this with Republican votes.
00:30:27.000 He could not accomplish it with just Democratic votes.
00:30:29.000 for making the U.S. more competitive internationally, its passage in the House hands him a bipartisan achievement that presidents of both parties have tried and failed to achieve for years.
00:30:36.000 Again, remember, he had to do this with Republican votes.
00:30:39.000 He could not accomplish it with just Democratic votes. So this is Republicans' fault. I don't know what House Speaker McCarthy had to do to make sure that those 13 Republicans didn't go along with Joe Biden here, or if there was anything he could have done.
00:30:51.000 But bottom line is, if you cannot whip your party hard enough to ensure that they don't vote for the other guy on a bill that has no interior support inside the Republican Party, I don't know what you are doing.
00:31:02.000 His sagging poll numbers and Democrats' recent loss in the gubernatorial race in Virginia had pushed Democrats to muscle the legislation through the finish line this week, but the effort was circuitous and tortured for House Democrats, whose paper-thin majority repeatedly complicated leadership's plan for the legislation.
00:31:16.000 Democrats had started Friday planning to approve the infrastructure bill after passing the rest of the party's priorities in a separate, roughly $2 trillion, education, healthcare, and climate package.
00:31:25.000 Progressive Democrats demanded the social spending legislation first receive a vote in the House, hoping to ensure that centrists would support it.
00:31:31.000 That design then fell apart because centrist Democrats said they needed more time to analyze the cost of the social spending bill.
00:31:37.000 So then Pelosi just brought up the infrastructure bill and she didn't have the votes.
00:31:40.000 She brought up for a vote and she didn't have the votes. 0.87
00:31:42.000 These 13 Republicans bailed out Nancy Pelosi.
00:31:46.000 They bailed her out.
00:31:49.000 It's unbelievable.
00:31:51.000 And what exactly is the rationale for this?
00:31:54.000 Seriously, where is the deep-seated Republican need to pass this thing? 1.00
00:31:59.000 It's just garbage and stupidity, and a lot of it is spite by some of these members. 1.00
00:32:04.000 You'll notice a lot of names that voted for Trump's impeachment who are on that same list right there. 1.00
00:32:08.000 I don't think that that's a coincidence.
00:32:11.000 What a disaster area.
00:32:12.000 This, of course, allowed Joe Biden to go out there and mock Trump and try to take a triumphant lap.
00:32:16.000 Now, the triumph is not going to last very long.
00:32:19.000 It really is not.
00:32:20.000 Because the truth is, the infrastructure bill is going to help virtually no one.
00:32:23.000 And no one thinks it's going to help them.
00:32:25.000 So it's just going to look like a big bag of spending.
00:32:27.000 It's going to allow him to say that he did a bipartisan thing, which is the only bipartisan thing that has happened throughout his entire administration.
00:32:35.000 Again, I thought this was a bad move from the time the Republicans agreed to it.
00:32:39.000 And I think that in the Senate, the math for Mitt Romney and Susan Collins and company was probably that if they got Manchin and Sinema on board with bipartisan infrastructure, that this would also get them to stand up against Build Back Better.
00:32:49.000 So it was one or the other in the Senate.
00:32:51.000 But in the House, it wasn't.
00:32:52.000 In the House, the House Republicans could just say no.
00:32:55.000 And that would have been the end of it.
00:32:56.000 Then it would have been toast.
00:32:57.000 It would have been done.
00:32:59.000 Instead, they handed Biden a victory, and he got to go out there and triumphantly make his appeal to the American people.
00:33:07.000 Infrastructure week.
00:33:12.000 I'm so happy to say that.
00:33:13.000 Infrastructure week.
00:33:15.000 He's making fun of Trump, of course, because every week in Trump's administration was infrastructure week and infrastructure never really got done.
00:33:22.000 And of course, he had to bring it.
00:33:23.000 It's hilarious how they've been stashing Kamala Harris away.
00:33:25.000 And only when they do something that is camera friendly, do they sort of trot her out and then they just shove her right back wherever she came from.
00:33:31.000 It's okay, you need to go back into that closet there and stay there, Kamala, until next time when we try you out and pretend that you had something to do with any of this.
00:33:38.000 According to CNN, both Biden and his cabinet officials are now going to go on an infrastructure tour, which is what Americans are up for.
00:33:45.000 I mean, there's nothing that sounds like as much fun as an infrastructure tour.
00:33:48.000 And it sounds like, you know, just a great band or something.
00:33:50.000 It's gonna be awesome.
00:33:52.000 Today the president touted the bill at the White House and CNN has now learned that Biden and his top cabinet officials plan to hit the road and tour the country in the coming weeks to promote the benefits of this bill.
00:34:05.000 Oh, how exciting.
00:34:06.000 They're going to run around the country talking about how much of your money they're now spending.
00:34:10.000 By the way, what exactly is in the bill?
00:34:12.000 It includes $110 billion in funding for roads, bridges, and major projects, as well as $39 billion to modernize and make public transit more accessible to the disabled and the elderly.
00:34:20.000 Most of that is going to go to New York.
00:34:22.000 And a huge chunk of that is going to go to New York City.
00:34:24.000 So I'm glad that you get to pay for New York's subway system.
00:34:26.000 That's exciting stuff.
00:34:27.000 Also, you will notice that the price tag on this bipartisan infrastructure bill is something like $1.2 trillion.
00:34:33.000 And yet, the bill is $110 billion for roads, bridges, and other major projects.
00:34:38.000 When most people think of infrastructure, that is what they think of, right?
00:34:41.000 That is not where most of the bill's money goes.
00:34:44.000 The deal includes a $66 billion investment in rail maintenance, most of which will go to Amtrak.
00:34:49.000 Ooh, Amtrak!
00:34:51.000 So Joe Biden finally got to bail out his favorite train, because that dude loves Amtrak and tells all sorts of lies about all the people he's met on Amtrak, and he treats his travel on Amtrak as some sort of actual presidential credential.
00:35:02.000 The legislation will provide $11 billion in funding for highway and pedestrian safety programs.
00:35:07.000 I know what that means.
00:35:08.000 What is a pedestrian safety program?
00:35:10.000 Telling people not to walk on freeways or what?
00:35:12.000 A total of $7.5 billion will go to implementing a network of electric vehicle chargers.
00:35:16.000 Because, again, it is not as though private companies have an incentive to ensure that there are EVs.
00:35:21.000 Charging at their stations.
00:35:23.000 We actually need to have the state do it.
00:35:25.000 Because if the state doesn't do it, then probably nobody will build it.
00:35:28.000 Except for how there are EV chargers at pretty much every gas station now.
00:35:32.000 But aside from that, another $7.5 billion will be used for zero-emission or low-emission buses and ferries.
00:35:37.000 Ports and airports will be boosted with $42 billion in new spending.
00:35:42.000 Also, they're going to put $65 billion toward broadband infrastructure and development.
00:35:48.000 It'll include $73 billion to update and expand the power grid.
00:35:52.000 How exactly are they going to pay for all of this?
00:35:54.000 Well, they're going to have $200 billion in repurposed funds originally intended for coronavirus relief but left unused.
00:36:02.000 So, they're just taking all the money they were supposed to spend for COVID relief and they're going to dump it on this.
00:36:06.000 About $50 billion will come from delaying a Trump-era rule on Medicare rebates.
00:36:11.000 $50 billion from certain states returning unused unemployment insurance supplemental funds.
00:36:16.000 Yeah, sure.
00:36:16.000 Yeah, I'm sure.
00:36:16.000 Because so much economic growth is going to get spurred by wasting this amount of money.
00:36:19.000 So no, it's not going to be covered.
00:36:20.000 So they're going to tax crypto, essentially.
00:36:22.000 Nearly 60 billion will come from the economic growth spurred by the spending.
00:36:25.000 Yeah, sure.
00:36:26.000 Yeah, I'm sure.
00:36:27.000 Because so much economic growth is going to get spurred by wasting this amount of money.
00:36:32.000 The nonpartisan scorekeeper found the infrastructure bill would widen the federal budget deficit by about $256 billion over 10 years.
00:36:39.000 So no, it's not going to be covered.
00:36:42.000 How about human infrastructure?
00:36:43.000 Well, they're still going to be pushing that bill back better.
00:36:46.000 So very exciting stuff.
00:36:49.000 So again, Republicans hand Biden an imagistic victory here for no apparent reason.
00:36:56.000 And there should be blowback on all 13 members of the House who decided to vote in favor of, again, a giant spending monstrosity that was unnecessary in the first place.
00:37:04.000 And that allows Joe Biden a victory lap at a time when his presidency is in a state of complete collapse.
00:37:08.000 Political malpractice in the extreme. 1.00
00:37:12.000 Okay, meanwhile, things continue to get bizarre and stupid in blue states. 0.99
00:37:16.000 We'll get to California's new take on woke math in just one second. 0.99

00:38:26.000 Alrighty, we'll get to more in just one second.
00:38:28.000 First, last week, as you know, DailyWire announced we have filed a lawsuit against the federal government.
00:38:33.000 It's an unprecedented move.
00:38:34.000 Staring down the face of an increasingly authoritarian president leaves us with no other option.
00:38:38.000 The DailyWire's lawsuit was filed by the Dillon Law Group, Inc.
00:38:41.000 and Alliance Defending Freedom in the U.S.
00:38:42.000 Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
00:38:45.000 The lawsuit alleges that the Biden administration lacks constitutional and statutory authority to issue the employer mandate, and that the mandate failed to meet the requirements for issuing a rule taking effect immediately without the normal process of considering public comment.
00:38:57.000 Right, which is exactly right.
00:38:58.000 They're saying it's emergency temporary standard, except for Biden announced it two months in advance, and then it doesn't take effect for two months, which is not the emergency temporary standard.
00:39:07.000 So they've avoided comments and also it's not an emergency.
00:39:09.000 The mandate's unconstitutional.
00:39:10.000 They're not going to stand for it.
00:39:12.000 Our employees deserve to keep their medical history private, have autonomy over their own bodies, and honor any of their religious beliefs.
00:39:17.000 We stand with their rights.
00:39:18.000 We do with the rights of every single American.
00:39:20.000 The Biden administration has warned that any companies that do not comply with this federal overreach could be fined as much as $136,000 per violation, so we need your help.

00:40:10.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:40:13.000 Well, meanwhile, again, Republicans saving Democrats from themselves. It's the stupidest thing they can do because the fact is that on the cultural issues, Republicans are winning This is why I actually think that even though a bunch of foolish and backward Republicans voted in favor of the infrastructure bill, I think it's going to have no long term effects. 0.97
00:40:35.000 I don't think the Democrats can save themselves. 0.99
00:40:37.000 I think the Democrats are too tied in to an ideology that is completely at odds with how Americans think.
00:40:41.000 I'm just going to give you an example of somebody who's very tied in to this ideology.
00:40:45.000 That, of course, is Joy Reid, who represents the hard left wing of the Democratic Party.
00:40:48.000 So over the weekend, Joy Reid decided to rip on Winsome Sears again. 0.99
00:40:53.000 And it's it's insane what people on the left think they can get away with with regard to speaking about race. 0.95
00:40:58.000 It really is quite disgusting.
00:41:01.000 And now this AR-15-wieldin' LG will be their new get-out-of-racism-free card, while Republicans nationwide make ban-all history that shows any white person doing anything wrong to black people ever their 2022 mantra. 0.92
00:41:14.000 It's just incredible.
00:41:16.000 So, according to Joy Reid, Winston Cedars, the new lieutenant governor-elect of Virginia, is actually a just get-out-of-racism-free card for Republicans.
00:41:25.000 Pretty impressive stuff there.
00:41:26.000 And unfortunately, this is how Democrats think, and most Americans are not into it.
00:41:30.000 Because it has real effect on how people live.
00:41:32.000 So the best example of this comes from my former state, I'm so glad I left, of California.
00:41:37.000 According to the New York Times, California tries to close the gap in math, but sets off a backlash.
00:41:44.000 If everything had gone according to plan, California would have approved new guidelines this month for math education in public schools.
00:41:50.000 But ever since a draft was opened for public comment in February, the recommendations have set off a fierce debate over not only how to teach math, but also how to solve a problem more intractable than Fermat's Last Theorem, closing the racial and socioeconomic disparities in achievement that persist at every level of math education.
00:42:06.000 Now, the reality is that if you want to look at the disparities that exist at every level of math education, you might have to start with family structure.
00:42:14.000 You might have to start with the number of hours of homework that people are doing.
00:42:16.000 You might have to start with the educational values of particular communities which differ widely.
00:42:20.000 And this is not a racial thing.
00:42:22.000 There are Appalachian white communities where education is not valued and so people underperform in schools.
00:42:27.000 And there are Asian communities where education is highly valued and so people overperform in schools. 1.00
00:42:32.000 But according to California, The mere fact of disparity means that they seriously considered shifting how they're going to teach math.
00:42:39.000 Now, math is, again, it is the key component, it is the key example, rather, of meritocracy at work.
00:42:47.000 Now, honestly, the term meritocracy, I think, has been overused.
00:42:50.000 And the reason I think that the term meritocracy has been overused is because when we say that meritocracy rewards merit, people tend to think of that as moral merit.
00:42:59.000 In some cases, that's true.
00:43:00.000 Stick-to-itiveness, grit, working hard.
00:43:03.000 These are, in fact, merits that are rewarded by a free market system.
00:43:06.000 But testing and objective standards, very often they're not actually measuring quote-unquote moral merit.
00:43:13.000 They're measuring something else.
00:43:14.000 They might be measuring IQ.
00:43:15.000 They might be measuring how smart you are and your skill set and what you've learned and all of that.
00:43:20.000 Okay, so when we say meritocracy, really what people should be saying is something like a skillsocracy.
00:43:26.000 And the good news about skillsocracies, about places where skills are rewarded, is when people are rewarded for high levels of skill, that has excellent externalities.
00:43:35.000 If you construct a system where people's skills are rewarded rather than, say, their color, or rather than their ethnicity, or their age, or their religion, what this means is that the activities of the people who are skilled generally tend to help other people.
00:43:50.000 If you reward skill sets, And those skill sets are awarded because the person with the skills can use those skill sets in order to do something for another person.
00:43:58.000 This is how free market trades work.
00:44:00.000 I have an excellent skill set.
00:44:02.000 I use my skills to produce a product or go to service for you.
00:44:04.000 And then you use your skill set to, in turn, enrich me.
00:44:07.000 This is how free market trades work and consensual exchanges work.
00:44:11.000 A skillsocracy is really good because it rewards people who have high levels of skill, which means that they are bettering the lives of all the people who they provide services, goods, and products to.
00:44:21.000 It's the best form of distributing an elevated standard of living to more and more people.
00:44:26.000 Most innovation happens at the top levels of the skillsocracy.
00:44:30.000 People have higher skill levels, whether it's just purely in terms of innovation or whether it's in terms of being really good at their own jobs.
00:44:36.000 That does bleed to everybody else because it raises the level of the products and services people are privy to.
00:44:42.000 So you want a skillsocracy.
00:44:44.000 Hey, the alternatives are completely randomized insanities like ethnocracies, where you get rewarded based on your skin color.
00:44:53.000 Or victimocracy, where you get rewarded or punished based on your group's history of being a victim or being an oppressor.
00:45:01.000 And that has no good externalities.
00:45:02.000 It doesn't help anybody.
00:45:03.000 It makes things significantly worse.
00:45:05.000 Because anything that is not a skillsocracy punishes skill.
00:45:08.000 It makes skill a secondary factor.
00:45:09.000 This is what California was seeking to do.
00:45:12.000 So the California guidelines could overhaul the way many school districts approach math instruction.
00:45:16.000 The draft rejected the idea of naturally gifted children, recommended against shifting certain students into accelerated courses in middle school, and tried to promote high-level math courses that could serve as alternatives to calculus, like data science or statistics. 1.00
00:45:28.000 Okay, so first of all, if you reject the idea of naturally gifted children, it's because you're an idiot. 0.99
00:45:32.000 Some kids are gifted. 1.00
00:45:33.000 Period.
00:45:34.000 End of story.
00:45:34.000 Some kids have higher IQs than others.
00:45:37.000 And shock of shocks, it turns out that there is a heavy, heavy genetic component to that.
00:45:41.000 That if both parents are neuroscientists, there's a good shot that their kid is gonna have a higher IQ than somebody, both of whose parents are on welfare.
00:45:47.000 Okay, that is just the... I'm not saying that's inevitably true.
00:45:51.000 There are many smart people who are on welfare, I'm sure. 0.97
00:45:53.000 They're not all that many stupid neuroscientists, but they're, I'm sure, smart people on welfare. 0.95
00:45:58.000 But if you have to take the average person and all you know about them is child of two neuroscientists versus child of two people on welfare in a free American society. 0.99
00:46:06.000 And all you have to go on is that.
00:46:08.000 Whose kid do you think is going to have the higher IQ? 1.00
00:46:10.000 Okay, so to pretend that that doesn't exist in real life is stupid. 1.00
00:46:14.000 It's just dumb. 0.99
00:46:15.000 It's like saying that two tall parents are not likely to have a height-gifted child. 0.99
00:46:22.000 I mean, how could we possibly say that some people are more height-gifted than others? 0.84
00:46:25.000 To pretend that intelligence isn't inborn at all and we are all sort of tabula rasa is silly.
00:46:31.000 It's just not true by any available metric.
00:46:33.000 Okay, but this is what California wanted to teach.
00:46:37.000 They recommend it against shifting students into accelerated courses because they want to punish skill sets.
00:46:42.000 They want to defeat the skillsocracy.
00:46:43.000 The last thing you want to do is reward people who are gifted, who, by the way, should use their gifts on behalf of society in a free market society.
00:46:50.000 Free markets allow people to distribute the uses of their gifts widely.
00:46:54.000 This is the magic of free markets.
00:46:56.000 Everybody on the left thinks that free markets make you more selfish.
00:46:59.000 That is untrue.
00:47:00.000 Free markets mean that unless I give you something that you want, I starve.
00:47:04.000 That's what a free market does. 0.98
00:47:06.000 Socialism makes you more selfish because it assumes that I can sit here on my ass all day and you have to give me something for my trouble. 0.98
00:47:13.000 So this is what California is pushing now. 0.98
00:47:16.000 The battle over math comes at a time when education policy on issues including masks, testing, and teaching about racism has become entangled in bitter partisan debate.
00:47:22.000 The Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, seized on those issues to help propel him to victory on Tuesday.
00:47:27.000 Now Republicans are discussing how these education issues can help them in a midterm election next year.
00:47:32.000 Even in heavily Democratic California, the draft guidelines encountered scathing criticism with charges that the framework would inject woke politics into a subject that is supposed to be practical and precise.
00:47:41.000 Joe Buller, professor of education at Stanford, said, quote, people will really go to battle for math to stay the same.
00:47:46.000 Even parents who hated maths in schools will argue to keep it the same for their kids.
00:47:49.000 The battle over math pedagogy is a tale as old as multiplication tables.
00:47:54.000 An idea called New Math had its heyday in the 1960s.
00:47:56.000 About a decade ago, many debates over the National Common Core Standards broke out as well.
00:48:01.000 Today, battles over the California Guidelines are circling around a fundamental question.
00:48:05.000 What or whom is math for? 1.00
00:48:07.000 This is the stupidest question I've ever heard. 1.00
00:48:09.000 The answer is math is for everyone because it helped everyone. 1.00
00:48:12.000 And if you're not good at math, tough, math still exists.
00:48:16.000 Testing results show regularly that math students in the United States are lagging behind those in other industrialized nations.
00:48:21.000 Within the country, there's a persistent racial gap in achievement.
00:48:24.000 According to data from the Civil Rights Office of the Education Department, black students represented about 16% of high school students, but 8% of those enrolled in calculus during the 2015-2016 school years, white and Asian students were overrepresented in high-level courses.
00:48:38.000 Critics of the drafts said the authors would punish high achievers by limiting options for gifted programs.
00:48:43.000 William Williamson Evers, senior fellow at the Independent Institute, was one of the authors of the letter.
00:48:48.000 He said, that's not right.
00:48:49.000 He said, math is math.
00:48:50.000 Two plus two equals four.
00:48:53.000 And that, of course, is exactly right.
00:48:55.000 But this is not what California is moving toward.
00:48:59.000 California is moving toward the idea that everyone should be given an equal result, even if they are not equally good at math.
00:49:07.000 The detracking movement is an attempt to destroy the skillsocracy in favor of some other moral component that is brought by the left that has no basis in reality.
00:49:19.000 So if California and the rest of the left wishes to pursue this, they're going to reap the whirlwind.
00:49:23.000 And I'm not sure that they can pull out of this tailspin.
00:49:25.000 So yeah, it's bad that Republicans voted for the infrastructure plan.
00:49:27.000 Every Republican who did should be punished for it.
00:49:29.000 But in the end, the Democrats have embraced a suicidal strategy with regard to the American people who will not accept the substitution of any metric other than a skillsocracy.
00:49:40.000 Because if they do, they've substituted bigotry for freedom.
00:49:43.000 Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.
