The Ben Shapiro Show - Biden Sides With Satan

00:00:00.000 So there's a very famous story about young Joe Biden, Senator Joe Biden.

00:00:05.000 This is a story from the early 80s.

00:00:08.000 Apparently, in June 1982, Joe Biden was on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

00:00:13.000 The dude's been in the Senate since Cato was in the Senate.

00:00:17.000 And he got into a clash with the Prime Minister of Israel at the time, Menachem Begin.

00:00:22.000 At the time, Israel was going into Lebanon in order to attempt to extirpate terrorism that was coming from southern Lebanon.

00:00:28.000 Again, nothing changes when it comes to the Middle East.

00:00:31.000 And Joe Biden was very angry at Menachem Begin.

00:00:34.000 He lectured Menachem Begin over Israeli settlements.

00:00:37.000 And Menachem Begin Who, his entire family was effectively murdered in the Holocaust. 0.53

00:00:42.000 And then he ended up moving to Israel and becoming an underground fighter against the British in an attempt to establish the State of Israel.

00:00:48.000 And then he was out in the political wilderness for a long time, finally became Prime Minister of Israel.

00:00:52.000 And there's a very famous, there's a very famous anecdote.

00:00:56.000 Apparently, he then turned to Joe Biden and he said, don't threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles.

00:01:02.000 He said, I'm not a Jew with trembling knees.

00:01:04.000 And then he continued, quote, I'm a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history.

00:01:08.000 Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens.

00:01:11.000 Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country.

00:01:13.000 We paid for it.

00:01:14.000 We fought for it.

00:01:14.000 We died for it.

00:01:15.000 We will stand by our principles.

00:01:16.000 We will defend them.

00:01:17.000 And when necessary, we will die for them again with or without your aid.

00:01:21.000 Now, this story is not about Menachem Begin.

00:01:24.000 This story is about Joe Biden. 1.00

00:01:25.000 Joe Biden is a coward. 1.00

00:01:27.000 Joe Biden is a terrible, terrible voice when it comes to foreign policy, and he always has been. 0.99

00:01:33.000 There's a reason that former Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that Joe Biden had literally never been correct on foreign policy in his entire life.

00:01:42.000 And that is true.

00:01:43.000 Joe Biden has a unique capacity to screw up when it comes to foreign policy. 0.81

00:01:47.000 Joe Biden is weak-kneed.

00:01:49.000 Joe Biden is so weak that he brags about being the only member of the Obama administration to oppose the Bin Laden raid. 0.96

00:01:55.000 That's how weak Joe Biden is. 0.90

00:01:57.000 Well, now Joe Biden is showing his neck to Hamas. 0.66

00:02:01.000 And when you talk about unjustifiable acts on every possible level, moral, political, pragmatic, none of it makes any sense.

00:02:10.000 On the moral level, Hamas is a terrorist group that is currently holding five Americans.

00:02:14.000 There are five Americans who are being held in terror tunnels by Yahya Sinwar and his group of barbaric thugs.

00:02:20.000 Their names, I know that Joe Biden doesn't mention their names very often.

00:02:24.000 He will talk about Brittany Griner until the cows come home.

00:02:26.000 But when it comes to five Americans who happen to be Jewish who are being held, by Hamas in terror tunnels, then he won't mention their names.

00:02:33.000 He'll take the occasional photo op with their relatives and pretend that he's gonna stand by them, but as we'll learn in a moment, he ain't standing by nobody.

00:02:41.000 Their names are Eden Alexander, who is 19 years old, Omer Nutra, who is 22, Hirsch Goldberg-Polen, who is 23, Sagi Dekel-Chen, who is 35, and Keith Siegel, who is 64.

00:02:50.000 They are currently being held.

00:02:51.000 And Joe Biden does not give two good dams about any of those people.

00:02:57.000 On a moral level, Joe Biden attempting to preserve Hamas in Rafa is sick.

00:03:04.000 On a political level, it is political malpractice.

00:03:06.000 The American people do not like Hamas.

00:03:08.000 The American people do not like this conflict, but they like Hamas even less than they like this conflict.

00:03:13.000 They would like to see Israel finish this. 0.79

00:03:15.000 The American people are tired of watching this war go on, wherein Israel is supposed to take it super slow. 0.75

00:03:21.000 It never ends.

00:03:23.000 What America likes are wars that are short.

00:03:25.000 America likes wars that are victorious, and those are things Joe Biden has never been involved in.

00:03:31.000 And when it comes to the pragmatic, what Joe Biden is doing right now is the least pragmatic thing I've ever seen a politician do on foreign policy.

00:03:38.000 He has created an entire incentive structure for Hamas to walk away from the table.

00:03:44.000 He has created an incentive structure for Hezbollah to get into a war with Israel.

00:03:48.000 He has created an incentive structure whereby, by the way, if Israel goes in, more civilians will die. 0.67

00:03:54.000 So what am I talking about here?

00:03:56.000 Yesterday, in what had been a telegraphed move for the last week or so, Joe Biden went on Aaron Burnett's show on CNN, and he proceeded to announce that the United States would remove offensive weaponry from Israel.

00:04:09.000 Remember, he just signed a bill providing $14 billion in aid to Israel.

00:04:15.000 That bill combined $14 billion in aid to Israel with some $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.

00:04:20.000 And the way that Biden got it over the finish line, along with Speaker Johnson in the House, was by combining those elements.

00:04:27.000 Because it turns out that the Republicans are disproportionately anti-Ukraine aid, but pro-Israel aid.

00:04:31.000 And Democrats are disproportionately anti-Israel aid, but pro-Ukraine aid.

00:04:35.000 Joe Biden has decided, unilaterally, That in violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, he is simply going to hold up the shipments of weaponry to Israel over disagreements with how Israel is prosecuting the war.

00:04:49.000 Now, by the way, he has yet to articulate exactly what Israel could be doing better or how.

00:04:55.000 But none of that matters, because we'll get to his real agenda in just a few minutes.

00:04:58.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.

00:05:56.000 Again, that's PeerTalk.com slash Shapiro.

00:05:58.000 So Joe Biden goes on Aaron Burnett.

00:06:00.000 And he proceeds to say that he is going to deny Israel offensive weaponry if Israel goes into the quote-unquote populated areas of Rafah.

00:06:08.000 Now understand, Israel has been attempting to move the civilians out of Rafah so that they can go in and kill terrorists in Rafah.

00:06:15.000 And Joe Biden has opposed that too.

00:06:17.000 So the new math is that the United States will undercut our own democratic allies if terrorists do the most terrorist thing, which is hide behind civilians.

00:06:26.000 He is now creating a full-scale incentive structure for terrorists to hide among civilians because now they are safe from any sort of retaliation.

00:06:33.000 The weapons that he wants to deny to Israel are targeted weapons, the kinds of weapons that minimize civilian casualties, which will force Israel to use non-targeted weapons, which means more civilian casualties.

00:06:45.000 He is showing daylight between Israel and the United States, sufficient that Hezbollah might think, OK, well, if we open up on the northern front, the United States won't resupply Israel then either. 0.66

00:06:55.000 Iran will get more aggressive, not less aggressive. 1.00

00:06:58.000 And of course, Hamas will walk away from the table, which apparently they did this morning.

00:07:02.000 They were supposedly negotiating in Cairo, and then upon hearing Joe Biden's words, they simply walked away clean, knowing that Joe Biden is now playing defense for Hamas.

00:07:10.000 Make no mistake, Joe Biden has sided with Hamas in this conflict.

00:07:14.000 There's only one predictable result of this, and that is the maintenance of Hamas as a political power and a military force in Gaza. 0.58

00:07:23.000 There are four brigades of Hamas, about 8,000 Hamas soldiers who are still in Rafah.

00:07:28.000 Joe Biden is keeping them alive.

00:07:29.000 Joe Biden is ensuring that they will walk out of the tunnels heads held high at some point and declare victory.

00:07:37.000 And by the way, release no hostages in the process.

00:07:39.000 Here is Joe Biden, a true moral coward, yesterday on CNN.

00:07:45.000 I want to ask you about something happening as we sit here and speak, and that, of course, is Israel is striking Rafa.

00:07:51.000 I know that you have paused, Mr. President, shipments of 2,000-pound U.S.

00:07:57.000 bombs to Israel due to concern that they could be used in any offensive on Rafa.

00:08:02.000 Have those bombs, those powerful 2,000-pound bombs, been used to kill civilians in Gaza?

00:08:09.000 Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers.

00:08:18.000 I made it clear that if they go into Rafa, they haven't gone into Rafa yet, if they go into Rafa, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafa, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem.

00:08:34.000 Okay, so when he says that the bombs have been used to kill civilians in populated areas, or when Israel attacks populated Israel, Israel is not attacking populated areas.

00:08:42.000 Israel is actively attempting to move populations from these areas so they can kill terrorists.

00:08:47.000 So Joe Biden is just lying here.

00:08:49.000 But he's lying, as we'll see, for a political purpose. 1.00

00:08:52.000 Also, once again, he is an absolute coward. 1.00

00:08:55.000 He is a biomoral coward, Joe Biden. 1.00

00:08:58.000 This is true in Afghanistan, and it is true now. 1.00

00:09:00.000 Here is Joe Biden.

00:09:03.000 We're going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently. 0.80

00:09:16.000 But it's just wrong.

00:09:19.000 We're not going to supply the weapons and the artillery shells used that have been used.

00:09:24.000 Artillery shells as well.

00:09:25.000 Yeah, artillery shells.

00:09:27.000 So, just to understand, what they're doing right now in Rafah, is that not going into Rafah, as you deminded?

00:09:35.000 No, they haven't gone into the population centers.

00:09:38.000 What they did is right on the border, and it's causing problems with, right now, in terms of with Egypt, which I've worked very hard to make sure we have a relationship and help.

00:09:49.000 But I've made it clear to Bibi and the War Cabinet, they're not going to get our support if, in fact, they go in these population centers.

00:09:59.000 So they're not going to give their support if they go into the population centers, which is why Hamas is hiding in population centers. 0.74

00:10:05.000 That is the entire reason they are doing it.

00:10:06.000 So he is now engaging.

00:10:08.000 Let's be clear about this.

00:10:09.000 In a war between a genocidal terrorist group that murdered 1,200 Jews and others and took 250 hostages, and is currently holding 133 hostages.

00:10:18.000 Most of them surely are corpses by now, but that includes some live hostages.

00:10:22.000 Joe Biden is taking the side of the terrorists.

00:10:24.000 That is what this is.

00:10:25.000 This is an arms embargo against the state of Israel in a war against a terror group.

00:10:29.000 Now you can make the case in the past that U.S.

00:10:34.000 arms embargoes against Israel were in America's interest.

00:10:38.000 I think you'd be hard-pressed to say why it was in America's interest to arms embargo Israel when Israel was in war in Lebanon in 1982.

00:10:44.000 Lebanon doesn't seem like a flower of the Middle East at this point.

00:10:48.000 But you could at least make some sort of plausible case that Israel in Lebanon was a bigger international problem than Israel in Gaza.

00:10:55.000 When it comes to Israel and Gaza, Hamas is an isolated terror group labeled as such by literally every Western power.

00:11:04.000 They are relegated to control of one city, and Joe Biden is preserving them right now.

00:11:08.000 He is preserving them.

00:11:09.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, Call it what it is, a U.S.

00:11:12.000 arms embargo against Israel.

00:11:14.000 That's the astonishing story this week as the Biden administration confirms it is blocking the delivery of weapons to its main ally in the Middle East.

00:11:21.000 The administration would like to focus on the denial of 2,000 pound bombs, which it says are too destructive.

00:11:26.000 Nevermind that a professional force can employ them in a manner that restricts the radius of damage.

00:11:29.000 Mr. Biden is also halting a shipment of 500 pound bombs and holding up JDAMs.

00:11:33.000 Those are Joint Direct Attack Munitions, which convert unguided bombs into smart bombs.

00:11:39.000 Small-diameter bombs are also being withheld.

00:11:42.000 Now, the Biden administration is sitting on a deal that includes tank shells and mortar rounds.

00:11:46.000 Joe Biden says, okay, we'll make sure that Iron Dome is still provided.

00:11:50.000 But all offensive weaponry, no.

00:11:52.000 So, in other words, Israel will sit there and take it. 0.92

00:11:56.000 And if an occasional rocket escapes Iron Dome and kills some Jews, well, they won't have the offensive weaponry to fight back if Joe Biden has his way.

00:12:04.000 The message from the White House, in other words, as the Wall Street Journal correctly, is that Israel should not have large bombs or small bombs, dumb bombs or smart bombs, and let it do without tanks and artillery too.

00:12:12.000 Now isn't a good time to send the weapons, you see, because Israel would use them. 0.70

00:12:18.000 This is an insane decision.

00:12:21.000 It's an insane decision for the United States.

00:12:22.000 It is in the interest of the United States for our allies to wreck terror groups, particularly terror groups that are currently holding Americans hostage.

00:12:28.000 It is in the interest of the United States for Israel to demonstrate strength in a region that only respects strength. 0.93

00:12:34.000 If we would like to see, for example, Saudi normalize with Israel and box in Iran, that only happens if Israel finishes off Hamas and Rafa. 0.87

00:12:42.000 It is in the interest of the United States to avoid a larger-scale war, which would undoubtedly occur were Israel to go into Rafah, with the United States showing massive daylight.

00:12:51.000 Hezbollah would probably take advantage in the north, hoping that the Biden administration would be so irritated with Israel about going into Rafah in the first place that they would let 200,000 rockets fall into Israeli civilian centers. 0.90

00:13:03.000 That is what Joe Biden has just done.

00:13:05.000 We'll get to more on this in just one moment.

00:13:07.000 First, given what's going on in the news these days, getting a good night's sleep, well, it seems pretty much impossible.

00:13:12.000 I've personally experienced how a bad night's sleep can wreak havoc on the entire next day, if not the whole week.

00:14:33.000 Now, the Biden administration has been playing what really is a pathetically disgusting game. 0.88

00:14:37.000 I mean, truly, it's like a morally, egregiously disgusting game. 0.96

00:14:41.000 Here is the thing.

00:14:42.000 Joe Biden announced this last night on CNN.

00:14:45.000 This had already been leaked out to the press as sort of a trial balloon.

00:14:48.000 Yesterday, Lloyd Austin, our feckless and useless defense secretary, literally went AWOL for like a week without informing anyone back earlier in the year.

00:14:57.000 Well, now he's testifying in front of the Senate.

00:14:59.000 He said there had been no final decision on the weapons.

00:15:01.000 As it turns out, this was a lie.

00:15:05.000 We certainly would like to see no major combat take place in Rafah, but certainly our focus is on making sure that we protect the civilians.

00:15:14.000 And again, we've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment.

00:15:21.000 And I would highlight that This shipment doesn't have anything to do with the supplemental appropriations that you just helped us get.

00:15:32.000 And my final comment is that we are absolutely committed to continuing to support Israel in its right to defend itself.

00:15:43.000 No, you are f***ing not.

00:15:46.000 No, you are not. 0.73

00:15:48.000 This is like saying to Nicole Brown Simpson, we are totally committed to your safety and security.

00:15:54.000 Also, we're removing all weapons of self-defense from your drawers.

00:15:59.000 We'll allow you to wear like a heavier jacket just in case, but certainly we're not going to do anything that would allow you to fight back.

00:16:06.000 I mean, this is insane.

00:16:07.000 It's insane, obviously.

00:16:10.000 What makes it morally sick is the lie.

00:16:13.000 So what was the timeline here?

00:16:14.000 According to the Associated Press, Biden signed off on the pause in an order conveyed last week to the Pentagon.

00:16:21.000 This happened last week.

00:16:23.000 The White House National Security Council sought to keep the decision out of the public eye for several days until it had a better understanding of the scope of Israel's intensified military operations in Rafah.

00:16:31.000 That's a lie.

00:16:32.000 They already knew what Israel plans to do in Rafah.

00:16:34.000 Israel's been planning to do it for literally months.

00:16:37.000 And the Biden administration has been sitting there with a red pen, simply saying no the entire time.

00:16:41.000 As I've been saying for a long time, the minute that Joe Biden said that Israel could not go into RAFA without his sign-off, Israel could not go into RAFA, period, because he was not going to get any sign-off.

00:16:51.000 There would be no sign-off.

00:16:52.000 Because if he had signed off, then he would become responsible for Israel's actions.

00:16:56.000 Which is why, typically, this is not what the United States does.

00:16:59.000 We don't sit there in the war cabinet with Ukraine and tell them how to conduct every military operation. 0.88

00:17:04.000 It's ridiculous. 0.88

00:17:06.000 They're an ally. 0.98

00:17:07.000 They're not a state of the United States.

00:17:09.000 But here's the real reason why Joe Biden kept it hidden.

00:17:11.000 You ready for this?

00:17:12.000 This is the part that really is just morally disgusting.

00:17:15.000 Here's the real reason.

00:17:16.000 and quote, the White House National Security Council

00:17:19.000 sought to keep the decision out of the public eye until Biden could deliver a long planned speech on Tuesday

00:17:24.000 to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day.

00:17:26.000 Do you understand what this is?

00:17:29.000 Joe Biden didn't want to announce that he was cutting off the state of Israel at the knees

00:17:34.000 in its fight to destroy a genocidal Nazi-esque terror group.

00:17:38.000 He didn't want to announce that until after he had paid lip service and shed some crocodile tears about the Holocaust.

00:17:44.000 So he wanted to do his speech on Tuesday where he talked about how the Holocaust was super important and how he would never again and no he would no he would stand by the State of Israel. 0.64

00:17:53.000 He wanted to give that speech and then he wanted to get past that speech and then he wanted to deprive Israel of the ability to extirpate its enemies.

00:18:01.000 We've literally engaged in a Holocaust level genocidal attacks. 0.91

00:18:07.000 Hamas has made very clear its intentions. 0.65

00:18:10.000 Hamas is not hiding the bomb. 1.00

00:18:11.000 They want all the Jews dead. 0.96

00:18:13.000 And Joe Biden gives a speech on Tuesday where he says, I fully understand what happened on October 7th. 0.95

00:18:18.000 And then he hosts families of hostages.

00:18:20.000 He says, I fully understand their plight.

00:18:22.000 And then he undercuts all of them.

00:18:24.000 And he does it on purpose, which is a sickness.

00:18:27.000 That isn't just cowardice, that's evil. 0.87

00:18:29.000 It'd be one thing for him just to be a normal democratic coward and say, 0.93

00:18:35.000 oh, I don't wanna be involved in any of this, hands off and just throw your hands to the sky, 0.92

00:18:38.000 what can we do?

00:18:40.000 That would be one level of cowardice. 0.98

00:18:41.000 To actively dissemble to the American people in order so that you could give a hypocritical speech 0.79

00:18:48.000 about the Holocaust in which you talk about the evils of the Holocaust and the necessity 0.97

00:18:53.000 of Israel defending itself, knowing the whole time you're going to undercut

00:18:57.000 their weapons supply in order to get rid of Hamas.

00:18:59.000 That's a whole different level.

00:19:03.000 Meanwhile, the White House, I mean, again, this is all, that's on the moral side. 1.00

00:19:06.000 On the political side, which we'll get to a little bit later, it's also politically stupid. 1.00

00:19:09.000 On a pragmatic side, it's unbelievably dumb. 0.99

00:19:12.000 On a pragmatic side, let's say that Joe Biden's actual pragmatic goal here is to stop the fighting. 0.98

00:19:16.000 Let's say that what he actually wants is to stop the fighting.

00:19:19.000 Well, he's not gonna get that because, as it turns out, the only possibility of the fighting stopping is for the current Israeli government to either end Hamas or get back the hostages or both.

00:19:31.000 Those are the only possibilities on the table.

00:19:33.000 If Israel does not get back to hostages, and if Israel does not end Hamas, the war cabinet will fall in Israel. 0.72

00:19:39.000 There will be new elections.

00:19:42.000 Joe Biden just made all of those possibilities impossible.

00:19:44.000 He says if Israel exerts military pressure in Rafa, Then he will deprive them of weaponry.

00:19:50.000 And then he says, don't worry, don't worry.

00:19:52.000 Hostage negotiations are ongoing.

00:19:53.000 Well, if you're Hamas, why in the world would you possibly give up those hostages? 0.54

00:19:58.000 Those are your leverage.

00:19:59.000 You don't have Joe Biden as your PR agent out there.

00:20:02.000 You have Joe Biden on your side doing your work.

00:20:05.000 Honest to God, Yahya Sinwar could barely design an American policy more beneficial to Hamas than the one that Joe Biden is currently pursuing.

00:20:14.000 The White House is saying that negotiations are ongoing.

00:20:16.000 No, they're not.

00:20:17.000 This morning, Hamas literally walked out of the negotiations.

00:20:22.000 According to Xinhua News, which is the Chinese official outlet, a delegation from Hamas for ceasefire talks departed Cairo for Doha.

00:20:33.000 That is according to Ezat al-Rashq, a member of the Hamas political bureau and a terrorist.

00:20:37.000 He confirmed that the group's commitment to a proposal received from Egyptian and Qatari mediators was still on the table.

00:20:44.000 That proposal is not real.

00:20:46.000 That proposal requires the withdrawal of all Israeli troops for all time. 0.51

00:20:51.000 It requires a permanent end to the war. 0.83

00:20:55.000 It requires that Israel give up thousands of terrorists in return for dead bodies.

00:21:00.000 That's what that proposal is.

00:21:02.000 And Joe Biden keeps pretending that these talks are ongoing.

00:21:04.000 They're not ongoing.

00:21:06.000 Not in any way, shape, or form.

00:21:09.000 The terms that have been proposed by Hamas are not terms.

00:21:11.000 They're diktats.

00:21:15.000 These are calculated to ensure that Hamas maintains control of the Gaza Strip. 0.94

00:21:20.000 By the way, if Joe Biden actually wanted a Palestinian state led by, for example, the Palestinian Authority, a terrible, foolish, moronic idea, but let's say he actually wanted that, you know what would have to actually occur before that? 0.93

00:21:30.000 The extirpation of Hamas! 0.93

00:21:31.000 If Hamas is still in control of the Gaza Strip, ain't no Palestinian Authority gonna be in control of the Gaza Strip.

00:21:36.000 It's just gonna be a massive Palestinian civil war, which is the likely outcome of all of this anyway, in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

00:21:43.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.

00:21:44.000 First, when I'm on the go, I do my best to stay healthy.

00:22:49.000 Meanwhile, while all of this is happening, Rafa is shooting rockets at Israel.

00:22:54.000 So while Joe Biden is saying you can't go into Rafa, meanwhile Hamas is firing rockets from the civilian center into Israel.

00:23:05.000 Yesterday, eight rockets were fired from Rafa into southern Israel in Shlomit.

00:23:12.000 Rafa has been used as the site of rocket fire on the Kerim Shalom crossing, which is a humanitarian aid crossing.

00:23:20.000 Israeli soldiers were killed this week by rocket fire from Rafa.

00:23:23.000 And Joe Biden's sitting there going... This is a sickness.

00:23:29.000 There is something wrong with this human being.

00:23:33.000 Now the media are going to do his cover work for him, Joe Biden, of course.

00:23:37.000 So the Wall Street Journal, so as I remind you, the Wall Street Journal editorial page is conservative.

00:23:41.000 The Wall Street Journal News Bureau is left of the New York Times.

00:23:44.000 Truly.

00:23:45.000 There have been studies done on this.

00:23:46.000 The Wall Street Journal News Bureau is to the left of the New York Times.

00:23:48.000 This is from the News Bureau.

00:23:50.000 Quote, It was a decision Joe Biden didn't want to make.

00:23:53.000 Was it though?

00:23:54.000 Because if he didn't want to make it, he didn't have to make it, did he?

00:23:56.000 He had warned Israel nearly two months ago against a full-scale assault on Rafa.

00:24:00.000 Finally, Biden took a step he had long resisted.

00:24:04.000 Biden's priority has been to secure a temporary ceasefire and defuse a charged political debate at home over whether his administration has put enough pressure on Netanyahu to limit the heavy civilian casualty toll in Gaza.

00:24:14.000 Israel's objective has been to crush Hamas' last stronghold in Gaza.

00:24:18.000 The groundwork for the decision to withhold arms was laid in April, when the administration began a quiet review of arms shipments to Israel after months of resisting calls to put conditions on arms transfers to force Netanyahu's government to rethink its conduct of the war.

00:24:31.000 Joe Biden has provided zero, count them zero, zero, big zero, military plans to Israel that would reduce the civilian casualties in this war while still achieving the goals of freeing the hostages and extirpating Hamas.

00:24:45.000 Zero military plans have been put forward.

00:24:48.000 Joe Biden has forced Israel to negotiate with itself.

00:24:51.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden is using every tool at his disposal to pressure Israel to leave Hamas in place.

00:24:55.000 That includes apparently allowing the International Criminal Court to possibly prosecute the current sitting government of Israel, which would only have the effect of meaning that every time an Israeli official went abroad, they might be arrested.

00:25:09.000 Joe Biden has sat still for that.

00:25:11.000 Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly, a rogues gallery, a hive of scum and villainy, is expected to upgrade Palestinian status at the UN, granting it almost all statehood rights. 1.00

00:25:24.000 That is supposed to happen next week. 0.56

00:25:27.000 The UAE is expected to submit a resolution calling on the UN Security Council to grant Palestine full membership status in the UN.

00:25:33.000 Now, they tried this at the UN Security Council just a few weeks ago, and the U.S.

00:25:36.000 said no, because as it turns out, there's no Palestinian government.

00:25:40.000 But the UNGA is going to try to pass this thing through.

00:25:44.000 And apparently, the United States is talking about sort of sitting aside on all of this.

00:25:50.000 There's no other way to read that than as a direct reward for October 7th. 0.96

00:25:53.000 Kill 1,200 Jews, take 250 hostage, Commit the worst terror assault in the West since 9-11, and you get a state. 0.97

00:26:01.000 That is the math of the international community. 0.93

00:26:03.000 And Joe Biden is sitting there for it, and yelling at Bibi Netanyahu, the elected Prime Minister of the State of Israel, who is in a war cabinet with his opposition. 0.67

00:26:13.000 How ridiculous is what Joe Biden is doing right now? 0.98

00:26:15.000 It is so ridiculous that even Jewish Democrats are coming out and slamming him. 1.00

00:26:20.000 Even Jewish Democrats are telling him that he is a joke. 0.96

00:26:24.000 Representative Jared Moskowitz, who's a Democrat of Florida, he said, if Hamas is watching American television, which I guarantee you they are, they're seeing more division and their power growing in this country, which means less pressure on Hamas.

00:26:38.000 He said delaying arms sales is not helpful to get us to a ceasefire.

00:26:41.000 Representative Brad Sherman said that funding appropriated by Congress for Israel legally, quote, has to be spent, has to be obligated, has to go.

00:26:51.000 Sherman said, again, these are Democrats, Biden came to this Congress, he said, pass legislation.

00:26:54.000 You can't come to members, get them to vote for your bill, your package, and then throw away part of the package.

00:27:01.000 Meanwhile, Representative Richie Torres has also been incredibly critical of Joe Biden, as he should.

00:27:10.000 Many Jewish Democrats today are waking up to the fact that Joe Biden is controlled by the radical wing of the Democratic Party.

00:27:16.000 And because he is controlled by the radical wing of the Democratic Party, maybe they should think about not giving him their vote.

00:27:23.000 Maybe, as it turns out, it is a bad idea for people who care.

00:27:27.000 For example, about the state of Israel to vote for a president currently undercutting the state of Israel's ability to defend itself.

00:27:33.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.

00:27:34.000 First, I know what it's like to start and run a business, and I gotta tell you, saving time is like the biggest thing.

00:28:33.000 ramp.com slash Shapiro.

00:28:36.000 One of the truly amazing things about this entire conflict, as I've said before, this is the most morally clear conflict of my lifetime.

00:28:41.000 It is literally a terror group that ran a quasi-organized terror state that crossed a border and murdered people and took people hostage and is still holding Americans hostage.

00:28:50.000 And somehow Joe Biden comes to the conclusion that this is an even-handed negotiation in which Israel must be stopped from destroying its enemy.

00:28:56.000 And somehow this is gonna make the Middle East more safe. 0.98

00:29:00.000 Donald Trump for his part, again, this is why Donald Trump needs to be reelected.

00:29:03.000 This is why I have contributed to Donald Trump's campaign, among many other reasons.

00:29:08.000 Obviously, I co-hosted an event for Trump long before this.

00:29:11.000 But this is why.

00:29:12.000 Here's what Donald Trump said, because he actually has a level of moral clarity. 1.00

00:29:14.000 Joe Biden is is a moral imbecile. 1.00

00:29:17.000 Here is Donald Trump today, quote, Absolutely true. 1.00

00:29:19.000 Joe Biden, whether he knows it or not, just said he will withhold weapons from Israel

00:29:22.000 as they fight to eradicate Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

00:29:25.000 Hamas murdered thousands of innocent civilians, including babies, and are still holding Americans 0.99

00:29:28.000 hostage, if the hostages are still alive.

00:29:30.000 Yet crooked Joe is taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the

00:29:33.000 radical mobs taking over our college campuses, because his donors are funding them.

00:29:37.000 Absolutely true.

00:29:38.000 100% true.

00:29:41.000 And by the way, again, what Joe Biden is doing, I mentioned the political before.

00:29:43.000 This is political malpractice, what he is doing right now.

00:29:46.000 It turns out vastly more Americans are anti-Hamas than pro-Hamas.

00:29:51.000 And those pro-Hamas people, they're not gonna be satisfied with anything Joe Biden does.

00:29:57.000 Republicans are responding as you would imagine they should.

00:30:00.000 House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell sent a letter to Joe Biden expressing their alarm over the administration's decision to halt the weapons transfers.

00:30:10.000 They say that the news flies in the face of assurances provided regarding the timely delivery of security assistance to Israel.

00:30:17.000 They say we believe security assistance to Israel?

00:30:20.000 Ukraine and vulnerable partners in the Indo-Pacific should be expedited to the fullest extent possible.

00:30:25.000 We have not been able to obtain pertinent information from the Department of State or Department of Defense regarding the ongoing review.

00:30:31.000 Israel faces an existential and multi-front threat as recently demonstrated by the direct attack by Iran and Iranian-backed terrorists, and daylight between the U.S.

00:30:38.000 and Israel at this dangerous time risks emboldening Israel's enemies and undermining the trust that other allies and partners have in the United States.

00:30:44.000 We ask that you provide relevant responses by the end of the week on the timing of this quote-unquote review If any other shipments will be similarly paused, what office is responsible for conducting the review, and most importantly, when the review is anticipated, to end, to allow this vital assistance to move forward.

00:30:58.000 This is violation of law, what Joe Biden is doing right now.

00:31:01.000 Donald Trump was impeached over this by Democrats.

00:31:03.000 They said that his refusal to turn over allocated aid to Ukraine was an impeachable offense.

00:31:08.000 Joe Biden is doing it openly for political purposes.

00:31:15.000 And he's going to get away with it? 1.00

00:31:17.000 This is pathetic stuff. 0.99

00:31:19.000 And by the way, the American defense establishment has no answer. 0.92

00:31:21.000 Yesterday, as I mentioned, Lloyd Austin was testifying in front of the Senate, and Lindsey Graham went after him, pointing out that there is literally no other scenario in which a country fighting for its survival against a terror group would be denied weaponry because of political concerns of the President of the United States.

00:31:39.000 Do you believe Iran really wants to kill all the Jews if they could?

00:31:43.000 The Iranian regime? 0.98

00:31:45.000 Yeah.

00:31:46.000 Do you believe Hamas is serious when they say we'll keep doing it over and over again?

00:31:51.000 Do you agree that they will if they can?

00:31:54.000 I do.

00:31:55.000 Do you believe that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization also bent on the destruction of the Jewish state? 0.55

00:32:02.000 Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.

00:32:04.000 Okay, so Israel's been hit in the last few weeks by Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, dedicated to their destruction. 0.83

00:32:11.000 And you're telling me you're going to tell them how to fight the war? 0.63

00:32:16.000 And what they can and can't use when everybody around them wants to kill all the Jews?

00:32:22.000 And you're telling me that if we withhold weapons in this fight, the existential fight for the life of the Jewish state, it won't send the wrong signal? 0.98

00:32:33.000 And by the way, it is worth noting here that again, on a pragmatic level, Joe Biden is so incompetent, again, he's both morally imbecilic and incompetent, that even his real goals here are not going to be achieved.

00:32:45.000 So when it comes to his real goal in Israel, Gadi Taub, who's an excellent commentator over in Israel, he has a big piece over at Tablet Magazine talking about basically how Joe Biden really doesn't like Bibi Netanyahu and wants Bibi Netanyahu out. 0.57

00:32:56.000 He wants Bibi Netanyahu replaced with Benny Gantz, who is the leader of the opposition party, who's currently sitting as part of the war cabinet.

00:33:03.000 Well, if he actually wanted to achieve that, he shouldn't have publicly said that he was going to deprive Israel of weaponry if they go into Rafah.

00:33:10.000 Gantz is supposedly in favor of doing that.

00:33:13.000 If Gantz looks like a tool of Joe Biden, he ain't gonna win the next election in Israel.

00:33:18.000 So Biden won't even get his accomplished purpose.

00:33:20.000 But what's the real reason that Joe Biden is doing? 0.99

00:33:22.000 Again, the reason he is doing this is because he is a coward. 1.00

00:33:25.000 He is a coward of cowards, Joe Biden. 1.00

00:33:29.000 Yesterday during this interview on CNN, he was asked by Aaron Burnett about protesters calling him Genocide Joe. 1.00

00:33:36.000 Now, here's what a normal, non-coward president would say.

00:33:40.000 You know why they're calling me that? 1.00

00:33:40.000 Because they're ignorant. 1.00

00:33:42.000 Because they're stupid. 1.00

00:33:42.000 Because they don't know what the hell they're talking about. 1.00

00:33:44.000 I just spoke at Holocaust Remembrance Day a couple of days ago.

00:33:47.000 A holocaust A genocide is an attempt to completely eviscerate an entire population, to exterminate an entire population. 0.94

00:33:55.000 Israel is not only not doing that, Israel is attempting to avoid killing civilians.

00:34:01.000 That is what a- and if they believe that, they're wrong, and they should get informed.

00:34:04.000 That's what a normal human being would say. 0.99

00:34:06.000 That's not what Joe Biden says, because he is afraid of those people, because he is a- he is a coward. 0.99

00:34:11.000 Here is Joe Biden being a coward last night. 0.97

00:34:14.000 Mr. President, you had signs at college campuses, some say Genocide Joe. 0.93

00:34:20.000 Any of us that have gone to those campuses, sometimes we hear that chant.

00:34:24.000 Do you hear the message of those young Americans?

00:34:28.000 Absolutely, I hear the message.

00:34:30.000 Look, two things.

00:34:34.000 First of all, there's a legitimate right to free speech and protest.

00:34:40.000 There's a legitimate right to do that, and they have a right to do that.

00:34:43.000 There's not a legitimate right to use hate speech.

00:34:46.000 There's not a legitimate right to threaten Jewish students.

00:34:50.000 There's not a legitimate right to block people's access to class.

00:34:54.000 That's against the law.

00:34:56.000 When he says, I hear them, that's the reason.

00:35:01.000 I hear them.

00:35:01.000 They're calling you a genocidal maniac, and you quote-unquote hear those morally bereft people.

00:35:09.000 You hear them.

00:35:10.000 You feel them.

00:35:11.000 And so in order so that they won't call you mean names, the pro-Hamasniks, in order so that they won't call you mean names, you're going to help Hamas. 0.66

00:35:19.000 That is Joe Biden's actual plan here.

00:35:21.000 Because if he doesn't, then the Hamasniks won't vote for him. 1.00

00:35:24.000 The people who love Hamas at these protests, they won't vote for him.

00:35:26.000 They might call him Genocide Joe, and he wouldn't like that.

00:35:28.000 That'd be very hurtful to Genocide Joe. 0.67

00:35:32.000 So he's going to cave to them.

00:35:33.000 That's all this is. 0.99

00:35:35.000 Joe Biden is, was, always will be a political coward with his finger in the wind. 0.99

00:35:40.000 That is all he ever was. 0.98

00:35:43.000 We'll get to more of this in a second. 1.00

00:35:45.000 Because again, the people that he is capitulating to, these campus dolts, they truly are some of the stupidest people on the planet. 1.00

00:35:52.000 I mean, we are talking people who cannot tie their shoelaces. 1.00

00:35:56.000 There's not a bus short enough for these people.

00:35:59.000 We'll get to more on that in a moment.

00:36:00.000 First, a very special message from our friend Megan Kelly.

00:36:03.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the anticipation is finally over.

00:36:07.000 The moment we have all been waiting for is almost upon us.

00:36:11.000 This Sunday, exclusively on DavieWire+, my new show with Adam Carolla, Mr. Bircham, will make its grand premiere.

00:36:21.000 In this show, I have the pleasure of playing Bircham's wife, Wendy.

00:36:24.000 It feels pretty great doing something for the community, right?

00:36:27.000 Now let me give you a sneak peek into Wendy's character. 1.00

00:36:31.000 Wendy is a force to be reckoned with. 0.80

00:36:33.000 She's a top-tier real estate agent, a super mom, and a bit more left-leaning than I am.

00:36:38.000 But believe me, it's a necessary balance to Bircham's old-fashioned caveman approach.

00:36:44.000 Check out the trailer for our new series, Mr. Bircham.

00:36:48.000 Yes!

00:36:49.000 Headshot! 1.00

00:36:52.000 Dad, my teammates can see your junk. 0.99

00:36:54.000 You're welcome, ladies. 0.98

00:37:00.000 First day of school means the bet is on! 1.00

00:37:02.000 First one of us to get in so- You suck, Mr. Buttchunk! 1.00

00:37:06.000 Ah, still got it. 1.00

00:37:08.000 Rule number one, no phones in the wood shop.

00:37:11.000 Fish it out after class.

00:37:13.000 I found some really great school uniform options to avoid misgendering.

00:37:17.000 Ooh, what about their allergies?

00:37:20.000 Maybe those they's could be lactose intolerant. 1.00

00:37:23.000 No, we can't say intolerance.

00:37:24.000 We have a zero tolerance policy for mentioning intolerance.

00:37:28.000 When I was a kid, men were men.

00:37:30.000 Now everyone's wrapped up in feelings.

00:37:34.000 Real men stuff feelings down with red meat, cigarettes, and violence. 0.99

00:37:39.000 My name is Mr. Wolf.

00:37:40.000 I solve problems.

00:37:41.000 You know what it takes? 0.65

00:37:42.000 Balls! 1.00

00:37:43.000 Eyeballs! 0.98

00:37:44.000 Who's gonna say that?

00:37:45.000 We're too young. 0.98

00:37:46.000 Well, actually, I was gonna say you're too fat. 1.00

00:37:52.000 Keep my wife's name out of your damn mouth! 1.00

00:37:55.000 You and the geriatric Girl Scouts will be passed out in an hour! 1.00

00:38:00.000 Pass Mommy the wine. 1.00

00:38:02.000 A bottle.

00:38:02.000 Don't make this a prison, honey.

00:38:04.000 Richard Bircham.

00:38:05.000 Bircham?

00:38:06.000 Bircham.

00:38:06.000 Mr. Bircham.

00:38:07.000 Hey, Bircham!

00:38:08.000 Bircham.

00:38:09.000 Bircham!

00:38:10.000 Bircham!

00:38:12.000 Watch Mr. Bircham, an all-new animated series from Daily Wire Plus. 0.99

00:38:16.000 Let the record show I'm a dick. 0.95

00:38:19.000 Premieres May 12th. 0.97

00:38:22.000 Watch the series premiere of Mr. Furcham for free only on DailyWirePlus.

00:38:28.000 Mark your calendars for this Sunday night, May 12th.

00:38:31.000 You're gonna love it.

00:38:32.000 The original sin of this administration is that when they came into office, they pretended to be moderate and they let Bernie Sanders run the show. 1.00

00:38:39.000 The old, derelict moron from Vermont, a complete useless person his entire life, a leech on public resources. 0.99

00:38:47.000 That guy has defined Joe Biden's policy because Joe Biden is so afraid of his radical left. 1.00

00:38:53.000 Which is why Bernie was very happy yesterday about all this.

00:38:56.000 He said that he's very glad that Joe Biden was moving toward an arms embargo against Israel in the middle of a war against a terror group.

00:39:03.000 But don't worry, Bernie's going to do his as a Jew thing, as a Jew. 0.92

00:39:06.000 Again, Bernie Sanders as Jewish as a ham sandwich with Swiss cheese.

00:39:11.000 According to humanitarian organizations, we're looking at the possibility of massive famine and starvation.

00:39:18.000 Hundreds of thousands of kids starving to death.

00:39:20.000 In my view, Netanyahu should not have gotten a nickel so long as he continued this incredibly destructive war.

00:39:27.000 I'm glad to see that the president is beginning, beginning to move in that direction.

00:39:33.000 Israel did not declare this war.

00:39:34.000 Israel did not start this war.

00:39:36.000 Israel's been shipping in more humanitarian aid during the war than was going in before the war.

00:39:41.000 And that's who's running the administration is Bernie Sanders.

00:39:44.000 All you Democrats, you voted for Joe Biden and not Bernie Sanders, and you got Bernie Sanders.

00:39:50.000 That's what you got.

00:39:51.000 And meanwhile, who are they catering to?

00:39:52.000 They are catering to people who hate the country.

00:39:54.000 Let's be clear.

00:39:55.000 These protesters on these college campuses who are protesting in favor of Hamas, they are not protesting for humanitarian purposes.

00:40:01.000 They do not give two dams about the 500,000 civilians slain during the Syrian civil war.

00:40:06.000 Don't care one iota about it.

00:40:09.000 They don't care about the Christians who are being wrecked in Niger. 0.85

00:40:12.000 They don't care about any of that.

00:40:14.000 They don't care about any of this stuff.

00:40:16.000 All they care about is that America is bad.

00:40:17.000 How do you know?

00:40:18.000 Because they just say it.

00:40:19.000 This is a sign that was projected on the side of a building during the George Washington University protest.

00:40:24.000 And this is the whole thing.

00:40:26.000 It is a burning American flag and it says, Gaza lights the spark that will set the empire ablaze. 0.99

00:40:31.000 That is the agenda.

00:40:32.000 And that is who Joe Biden is catering to. 1.00

00:40:35.000 Which is amazing because this is a congregation, a constellation of either malign actors or some of the stupidest people on the planet. 1.00

00:40:45.000 I've been using that word a lot, this show, stupid, because it's hard for, again, I have a rule. 1.00

00:40:48.000 The basic rule of Shapiro Stan is assume everyone is stupid and not evil. 0.99

00:40:54.000 But honestly, it's kind of hard to tell these days. 1.00

00:40:58.000 I will say that these people appear to be both stupid and evil. 1.00

00:41:01.000 So, over at Princeton, a bunch of students decided to go on a hunger strike for Gaza. 1.00

00:41:06.000 And then, wait for it, they got hungry.

00:41:09.000 I know, because it's a hunger strike.

00:41:11.000 But apparently they were very shocked by this, and they demanded food during their hunger strike.

00:41:17.000 They could just walk across the street and get a bagel.

00:41:20.000 Well, they wouldn't want to get a bagel.

00:41:21.000 I mean, that's a Jew donut. 1.00

00:41:22.000 But they might get like something from McDonald's or something.

00:41:27.000 Anyway, here are these cosplay revolutionaries.

00:41:30.000 I like this bag in the center wearing his keffiyeh and his Che Guevara hat, looking like he just walked out of a seventh grade chess club.

00:41:39.000 By the way, half these people look like they could use a little longer of a hunger strike, if you know what I mean.

00:41:44.000 We are starving.

00:41:47.000 We are physically exhausted.

00:41:49.000 I am quite literally shaking right now as you can see.

00:41:52.000 We are both cold and hot at the same time.

00:41:55.000 We are all immunocompromised.

00:41:58.000 And based on the university's meeting yesterday with some of our bargaining team,

00:42:03.000 they would love to continue physically weakening us because they can't stand to say no to unjust murder.

00:42:09.000 So they are not eating and then they are complaining about not eating.

00:42:17.000 Okay, I have a solution.

00:42:18.000 We'll force feed you. 0.99

00:42:20.000 That's the solution.

00:42:20.000 How about that?

00:42:21.000 Because you both don't want to eat and you do want to eat.

00:42:24.000 So, we'll just tube feed you.

00:42:26.000 Would that... Would that be okay?

00:42:29.000 No?

00:42:30.000 These are the people Joe Biden is caving to. 1.00

00:42:32.000 He is such a coward. 1.00

00:42:34.000 Such a coward. 1.00

00:42:35.000 And the ramifications of cowardice in a president of the United States is dead bodies. 0.99

00:42:40.000 Those are the ramifications.

00:42:41.000 So what is Israel going to do now?

00:42:43.000 So Israel has a few choices.

00:42:44.000 One, Israel can just ignore the United States and go in. 0.84

00:42:47.000 This is what they really have to do.

00:42:49.000 If they do not, the government ought to fall in Israel. 0.86

00:42:52.000 If they do not finish off Hamas, they have not fulfilled their basic standard of keeping the people of Israel safe.

00:42:57.000 They should go in and they should then go to the United States Congress and ask the United States Congress to ram through the guarantee that Joe Biden provided to a bipartisan majority in Congress, in both the House and the Senate, to actually get that money out.

00:43:11.000 Joe Biden is acting in violation of the law.

00:43:13.000 That's what Israel should do.

00:43:13.000 Will they do that?

00:43:14.000 Probably not.

00:43:15.000 In all likelihood, Israel will try to slow play this because, of course, Israel is an ally of the United States and has tried to act within the remit provided by the United States, including of Joe Biden.

00:43:26.000 Let me tell you this.

00:43:28.000 Everybody who likes a stable, solid foreign policy is begging for Donald Trump right now.

00:43:34.000 Everyone all over the world.

00:43:36.000 The people of Taiwan, they don't want Joe Biden.

00:43:39.000 The people of Ukraine, they can pretend they like Joe Biden right now. 0.56

00:43:46.000 Donald Trump would have been much better for Ukraine than Joe Biden has been, because he would have told Vladimir Putin up top that a minor incursion was unacceptable, unlike Joe Biden, who basically incentivized Putin to cross that border.

00:43:58.000 When it comes to Israel, no question, none of this would have happened in the first place, and if it did, Donald Trump would have let the shackles off Israel, and this thing would have been over four months ago.

00:44:09.000 Everyone who liked a stable, Predictable world, a more peaceful world, should look at the years from 2017 to 2020, and then they should look at the years from 2021 to 2024, and they should decide which period has been more stable in terms of foreign policy.

00:44:29.000 Which era has been better for the strength of America abroad?

00:44:33.000 This is the easiest choice ever.

00:44:35.000 Joe Biden makes the choice for Donald Trump easier every single day.

00:44:39.000 All Donald Trump has to do is just sit there.

00:44:42.000 That's all he has to do, because Joe Biden is making this choice super simple.

00:44:45.000 If he thinks he's going to win in Michigan, he's got another thing coming.

00:44:48.000 We'll get to more on this in just one second.

00:44:50.000 First, between the vice president wrongly claiming the NCAA Women's Tournament was excluded from brackets until 2022, to the weekly word salad she serves, to not actually doing anything of use, Kamala Harris has gone one Venn diagram too far for anyone's liking.

00:45:05.000 If all that happened in like a normal business, she would not have a job.

00:45:08.000 How would you find someone to replace her, aside from just throwing a rock and seeing if you'd hit a rando?

00:45:12.000 Well, I'll tell you how.

00:45:13.000 The best way actually to find a good VP, or anyone else, would be ZipRecruiter. 0.99

00:45:52.000 Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to actually run a fairly well-calibrated campaign.

00:45:58.000 So yesterday, for example, Donald Trump issued a statement regarding Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:46:04.000 Obviously, she is an ally of Trump's, politically, sort of. 0.91

00:46:08.000 She also happens to be a clown who wants to be in the news all the time. 0.90

00:46:11.000 And Trump was very much in favor of MTG just generally, but not in favor of her latest clown move, which was a bizarre motion to vacate against the Speaker of the House. 0.94

00:46:22.000 It failed dramatically, by the way.

00:46:25.000 It failed overwhelmingly.

00:46:27.000 So she brought the motion to vacate.

00:46:29.000 Only 11 Republicans voted in favor of the motion to vacate, with virtually all Republicans voting against a motion to vacate.

00:46:36.000 The vote to kill the effort was 359 to 43, with seven voting present.

00:46:43.000 Democrats joined in because it turns out that even Democrats don't like the Speaker of the House being able to be put on notice by, like, two members of his own party.

00:46:51.000 Which is effectively what Hakeem Jeffries is afraid of, should he ever become Speaker of the House.

00:46:58.000 So, again, he didn't need to peel off 200 Democrats, but he did.

00:47:02.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene failed, as she should have, and Donald Trump then issued the following statement, which is correct, because Donald Trump is running a campaign to win the presidency, as opposed to Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is running a campaign to eventually be a mid-tier podcaster.

00:47:16.000 Trump said, quote, I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:47:19.000 She's got spirit.

00:47:20.000 She's got fight. 1.00

00:47:20.000 I believe she'll be around and on our side for a long time to come. 1.00

00:47:23.000 However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the radical left Democrats and all the damage they've done to the country.

00:47:27.000 With a majority of one, shortly growing to three or four, we're not in a position of voting on a motion to vacate.

00:47:32.000 At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time.

00:47:35.000 We are leading in the presidential polls by a lot, both nationally and in the swing states.

00:47:39.000 Likewise, we are doing well in the Senate, and I believe we will do well in the House.

00:47:42.000 But if we show disunity, which will be portrayed as chaos, it will negatively affect everything.

00:47:46.000 Mike Johnson is a good man, who is trying very hard.

00:47:49.000 I also wish certain things were done over the last period of two months, but we'll get them done together.

00:47:52.000 It's my request that Republicans vote for the Motion to Table.

00:47:55.000 We will win big, and it will be soon.

00:47:58.000 This is smart politics.

00:48:00.000 Much smarter than anything MTG is attempting to do, but for Donald Trump, obviously he is running, again, a much more disciplined campaign this time around, which is good.

00:48:09.000 Johnson, for his part, said maybe we can get past all the frivolous character assassination and actually go about governing at some point here.

00:48:16.000 This is the end of the personality politics and the frivolous character assassination that has defined the 118th Congress.

00:48:24.000 Well, you would hope.

00:48:26.000 Meanwhile, I don't know what it is about politicians making revelations that are completely unnecessary.

00:48:32.000 So, this has been the week of unwanted revelations.

00:48:35.000 So, we had Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, admitting in her book that she shot a dog.

00:48:42.000 Which, again, how did that pass through her eyes?

00:48:47.000 And she thought, this is probably a good story to tell.

00:48:49.000 This time when I shot a puppy in a gravel pit. 0.67

00:48:51.000 That shows I'm tough, shooting a puppy in a gravel pit.

00:48:57.000 So there was that.

00:48:58.000 And that, of course, turned into a debacle.

00:49:00.000 She had to cancel her book tour and all the rest of it.

00:49:04.000 And then yesterday, we had the bizarre, unnecessary announcement by RFK Jr.

00:49:10.000 that he literally had a brain worm He told the New York Times that in 2010, he was experiencing memory loss and mental fog and is so severe, a friend grew concerned he might have a brain tumor.

00:49:20.000 Kennedy said he consulted several of the country's top neurologists, many of whom had either tried it or treated or spoken to his uncle, Ted Kennedy.

00:49:27.000 Several doctors noticed a dark spot on the younger Mr. Kennedy's brain scans and concluded he had a tumor.

00:49:32.000 He was immediately scheduled for a procedure at Duke University Medical Center.

00:49:36.000 And then, apparently, he received a call from a doctor who had a different opinion, that he had a dead parasite in his head.

00:49:43.000 The doctor believed the abnormality seen on his scans was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.

00:49:51.000 Why was that necessary?

00:49:54.000 Why?

00:49:54.000 What would make you do that?

00:49:58.000 Like, what would make you do that?

00:50:02.000 Why would you say that?

00:50:05.000 In an interview with the Times, he said he'd recovered from the memory loss and the fogginess

00:50:10.000 and had no after effects from the parasite, which he said had not required treatment.

00:50:13.000 Thank you.

00:50:15.000 Asked last week if any of Kennedy's health issues could compromise his fitness for the presidency, his spokeswoman said to the Times, Well, I mean, that's true.

00:50:21.000 area suggestion given the competition. Well I mean that's true. That at least is

00:50:27.000 very much true. So again unnecessary like why you would why you would talk about

00:50:33.000 brain worms is beyond me. 0.76

00:50:36.000 Now what's amazing to me is that the members of the media who are all rooting for a person who does not have a brain for a worm to eat, Joe Biden, they decided it was time to tell jokes about this.

00:50:46.000 Now again, it is inherently hilarious if a presidential candidate admits that he had worms in his brain. 0.82

00:50:53.000 Like, it's sad.

00:50:55.000 And RFK Jr.

00:50:56.000 is a very nice person.

00:50:57.000 I mean, we spent time together.

00:50:59.000 But of course, you're going to become the butt of jokes. 0.64

00:51:01.000 But I don't think that you get to make those jokes if you happen to be a person who is defending Joe Biden's mental fitness when the man's brain is bread pudding.

00:51:09.000 So here they were on MSNBC mocking RFK about all of this.

00:51:16.000 I quote from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:51:17.000 here, the abnormality, quote, was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.

00:51:28.000 So Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:51:29.000 is suggesting that a worm ate some of his brain and then died while there.

00:51:35.000 We'll have more on this developing story. What in the world?

00:51:37.000 This happens usually, usually, usually Willie this happens with livestock, right? I, I, but this

00:51:43.000 is, this is something that, yeah.
