00:00:39.000But you should still be diversifying at least a little bit into precious metals today because fiat currency, well, as the name would suggest, it is at the behest of political actors.

00:02:12.000Tune in tonight to be the first to catch that exclusive trailer.
00:02:15.000I'm sure it's going to be combustible.
00:02:17.000Alrighty, so, the fallout from the Buffalo shooting continues.
00:02:21.000We now know that the laws that were on the books should have prevented this from happening.
00:02:26.000But, of course, they didn't because there are always a bunch of red flags that go up.
00:02:30.000And the red flag logs are rarely taken advantage of.
00:02:32.000According to NBC News, less than a year after a white teenager in upstate New York was investigated for making a threatening statement in school, he legally purchased a firearm.
00:02:39.000Which he's accused of using to gun down 10 black people in a racist rampage, according to the authorities.
00:02:43.000The massacre at Topps Friendly Market in Buffalo on Saturday should have been thwarted by New York's red flag law, which aims to stop people from buying or possessing firearms when they show they are threats to themselves or others, according to gun policy experts.
00:02:53.000There is a law on the books that should have stopped all of this.
00:02:56.000Instead, after the shooter appeared on the radar of New York State Police in June over a chilling comment about a murder-suicide he made in the classroom while still a minor, he was evaluated, cleared, paving the way for him to legally buy the semi-automatic rifle he's accused of using in the shooting 11 months later, according to law enforcement officials and New York's governor.
00:03:12.000No official involved in the investigation in June initiated a court process that could have helped prevent the shooter from buying a rifle, according to the New York State Police.
00:03:20.000Now state legislators are looking into whether those involved followed the proper protocol.
00:03:24.000Apparently, according to the governor, a teacher had asked the shooter about his plans just before the start of summer vacation last year, and he responded, I want to murder and commit suicide.
00:03:31.000Which is a weird answer to, what do you plan to do this summer?
00:03:34.000School officials immediately alerted the cops.
00:03:37.000Then the shooter underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was released.
00:03:40.000The governor said there was not a specific threat or something that seemed to be actionable, but the red flag law in New York does empower school administrators, law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and family members to pursue court intervention when they believe they know somebody who is at high risk of harming themselves or others.
00:03:54.000And then a judge could very quickly issue an extreme risk protection order.
00:03:57.000An ERPO, which could order somebody, minor or adult, to surrender any firearms and would put law in place that prevent the person from buying firearms.
00:04:04.000So everybody failed once again because that's the way these things tend to work, is that the law is rarely applied even if the law is stringent enough to prevent the purchase of the weapons or to prevent a shooting in the first place.
00:04:15.000Meanwhile, the left has decided that this entire story is not about a person who appears to be mentally ill.
00:04:22.000Going and shooting a bunch of black people at a supermarket?
00:04:25.000Nor is it about even this person's extreme radical viewpoint.
00:04:28.000It's about the broad-writ Republican Party and the conservative movement in general.
00:04:32.000So this is a riff on the 1995 Democratic campaign that suggested that Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the Oklahoma City Federal Building, that that was really because of Rush Limbaugh.
00:04:40.000So the new version of this is that this shooter in Buffalo is due to Tucker Carlson.
00:04:44.000This is the new version of this is that the entire right has to be painted with the brush of this racist shooter.
00:04:50.000Because after all, the entire right is concerned about illegal immigration or immigration in general, is concerned about voting patterns, is concerned about demographic changes in the country.
00:05:02.000It is normal political discourse for people to talk about how demographic patterns in the country are going to reflect particular voting patterns in the country.
00:05:11.000Right, left, and center, that sort of talk goes on on a regular basis.
00:05:14.000In fact, it was a staple of democratic talk from basically 2003 onward when the left decided that the rising minority majority in the United States was eventually going to make conservatism obsolete.
00:05:24.000That was a thesis put forward by John Judas and Roy Teixeira in 2003.
00:05:29.000In a book called The Emerging Democratic Majority.
00:05:32.000And that idea was brought forward by the Obama campaign in 2012.
00:05:36.000It was repeated ad nauseum in mainstream media outlets including NPR.
00:05:40.000So that's sort of normal political discourse.
00:05:43.000To talk about how demographics change the rates of voting and how different demographic groups vote.
00:05:47.000I mean, literally every poll breaks people down according to demographic group.
00:05:50.000And then that is used as a way of trying to foresee how the voting patterns are going to move in the future.
00:05:56.000And when it comes to immigration, there's a lot of talk about where immigrants coming from.
00:05:59.000Are they coming from countries that are in Europe and how does that affect the voting patterns?
00:06:03.000Or are they coming from places that are formerly communist like Cuba?
00:06:07.000And how does that affect the voting pattern?
00:06:09.000People who come from Cuba tend to vote more Republican.
00:06:11.000People who come from Honduras maybe tend to vote more Democrat, right?
00:06:14.000Like, all this stuff is fair game politically.
00:06:17.000What the left is trying to do, as we discussed yesterday, is wrap all of this in the Great Replacement Theory bow.
00:06:22.000And now the Great Replacement Theory is something rather specific.
00:06:25.000And the attempt to broaden that out to include kind of normal discussions of demographic change in voting patterns, or discussions of immigration, or discussions of why it would be that, for example, Democrats in the United States seem so all-fired intent on allowing hundreds of thousands of people to cross the southern border illegally without policing them, and seem intense on amnestying a lot of those people, that wrapping that all together with The actual hardcore white supremacist Great Replacement Theory, that's all kind of par for the course, according to the mainstream media now.
00:06:54.000The Anti-Defamation League, which is now a left-wing outlet, run by Jonathan Greenblatt, it used to be a defender against anti-Semitism, now it basically pairs Democratic talking points, but the ADL has a rundown on what exactly the Great Replacement Theory is.
00:07:08.000And in their rundown on what the Great Replacement Theory is, here's what they say.
00:07:11.000They say, the Great Replacement Theory has its roots in early 20th century French nationalism, and books by French nationalist and author, Maurice Barré.
00:07:18.000However, it was French writer and critic, Reynald Camus, who popularized the phrase for today's audiences when he published an essay titled, Le Grand Replacement, or The Great Replacement in 2011.
00:07:27.000Camus believes native white Europeans are being replaced in their countries by non-white immigrants from Africa and the Middle East, and the end result will be the extinction of the white race.
00:07:39.000This is what distinguishes the quote-unquote great replacement theory from questions about voting patterns or cultural assimilation.
00:07:46.000If you're worried, for example, that people are going to come from countries and bring with them the values that those countries tend to uphold, That is not Great Replacement Theory.
00:07:54.000Great Replacement Theory is white people are inherently superior and they have to protect themselves and the way to protect themselves is to prevent immigration because the racial stock of the country will somehow be degraded.
00:08:04.000That is the racist white supremacist Great Replacement Theory.
00:08:06.000What the left has done is try to spin this into an argument about how if you are opposed to illegal immigration more generally, or if you have questions about immigration policy in the United States, if you think, for example, that it actually made a difference in 1965, When we changed our immigration laws to change the point of origin for mass immigration in the United States from Europe to south of the border.
00:08:25.000And that actually made a voting difference in the United States, which, by the way, it did.
00:08:29.000And if you notice that, that that is great replacement theory.
00:08:55.000So the reason I'm making this distinction is because the left is trying to obliterate this distinction so as to claim that the mass shooter, who again, trafficked in the direct Great Replacement Theory, if you read his So-called manifestos, 180-page screed.
00:09:08.000The whole thing is about racial distinctions and how certain races are inferior and certain races are superior, and Jews might be white, but they also might not be white, and how Jews are conspiratorially placed throughout the American superstructure in order to affect the destruction of the white race.
00:09:23.000It is very clearly just neo-Nazi kind of stuff.
00:09:26.000The left idea is to try and lump that in with, generally speaking, questions about immigration or opposition to mass immigration or opposition to amnesty.
00:09:37.000And if you do any of that, according to the left, this makes you complicit in a person going and shooting up a largely black crowd at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
00:09:45.000So this is coming now from the White House.
00:09:46.000Joe Biden is supposed to visit Buffalo, New York today.
00:09:48.000I perfectly expect that Joe Biden is going to be extraordinarily polarizing.
00:09:55.000The guy came into office saying that he was going to be a president for all the citizens.
00:09:58.000I'd be absolutely astonished if he doesn't spend today attempting to polarize the American people by suggesting that half of Americans are somehow quasi-supportive of actions like the racist massacre that just took place in Buffalo, New York.
00:10:12.000So the brand new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is now out.
00:10:16.000She's going to head on over to MSNBC where she can fulfill her true life's passion of actually just doing full scale media propaganda.
00:10:22.000So Corinne Jean-Pierre just replaced Jen Psaki at the top of the list.
00:10:28.000And first of all, we should introduce Corinne Jean-Pierre, mainly because this is how she introduced herself.
00:10:34.000So as you will see, she's not actually very good at her job.
00:10:36.000But the important thing is, because this is the way the Biden administration works, If you are black, gay, an immigrant, a woman, if you fulfill intersectional checkmarks, it really doesn't matter if you're very good at your job.
00:10:46.000So here is Karine Jean-Pierre introducing herself as we will see.
00:10:49.000It would seem to me that it would be more important that she's good at her job.
00:10:51.000I mean, the least you can say about Jen Psaki is that she was an able spokesperson for a very bad administration.
00:10:56.000Karine Jean-Pierre isn't even good at that.
00:11:15.000You hear us, you hear us say this often in this administration, and no one understands this better than President Biden.
00:11:24.000So I'm not sure why any of that is supremely important.
00:11:28.000But apparently, according to the Democrats, it really, really is.
00:11:30.000So then she starts being asked, like, actual questions.
00:11:32.000So she's asked whether Joe Biden believes that Tucker Carlson is at least partially responsible for this because he's pushing Great Replacement Theory.
00:11:41.000Does the White House believe these views are being amplified by Tucker Carlson?
00:11:46.000Look, you know, like I said, we are still figuring out the motivation of all of this, and we are very clear.
00:11:52.000Look, you know, as you all know, watching what happened in Charlottesville was a major factor in the president deciding to run, right, and back in 2017.
00:12:03.000You know, many of those dark voices still exist today, and the president is determined, as he was back then, and he is determined today, to make sure that we fight back against those forces of hate and evil and violence.
00:12:17.000Okay, so again, the talking point is that this is sort of endemic in the American system.
00:12:22.000This sort of hate that you saw at Charlottesville, they will not replace us, right?
00:12:25.000Literally, Great Replacement Theory slogans being chanted at Charlottesville, or a shooter, a mass shooter in Buffalo, New York, that is somehow indicative of a broad-scale American movement in the United States.
00:12:35.000This is being said by the White House now.
00:12:36.000It's being parroted by pretty much everybody on the left today.
00:12:40.000Karine Jean-Pierre continued along these lines.
00:12:43.000She says, we're going to do everything in our power to stop hate-filled domestic terrorism.
00:12:46.000Well, I mean, it sort of depends on the source, doesn't it?
00:12:51.000This is something that the president says very often, especially in these horrific incidents that we have seen time and time again.
00:12:59.000We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism, and we must reject hatred and extremism ideologies that seek to divide Americans whenever we find it in our society.
00:13:15.000Okay, well, it obviously isn't even-handed in the way that they attempt to fight hate-filled extremism.
00:13:20.000So Jean-Pierre was asked a quick follow-up, which was, if you want to fight hate-filled extremism, why is it the President of the United States is rushing over to Buffalo, New York to give a speech, and he couldn't be bothered to visit Waukesha after a bunch of white Christmas parade-goers were mowed down by a black supremacist?
00:13:37.000How come the president is visiting Buffalo after a senseless tragedy there, but he couldn't visit Waukesha after six were killed and 61 injured in an attack on a Christmas parade there?
00:13:49.000I mean, he's visited many communities.
00:13:51.000Buffalo, he was, you know, he's able to go tomorrow to Buffalo before the trip.
00:13:58.000That is something that was important for him to do.
00:14:00.000But he has visited many other communities.
00:14:38.000And the simple fact of the matter is, over the next 10, 15, 20 years, I'm a big believer that cryptocurrency is going to be a store of value.
00:14:45.000If you believe the same, but you're looking for a place to trade, you need an altocrypto IRA.
00:14:49.000You can trade crypto like Bitcoin and avoid or defer the taxes.

00:15:26.000Once more, that is altoira.com slash Ben to get started.
00:15:31.000Meanwhile, again, the entire media have picked up on this.
00:15:33.000Chuck Schumer has picked up on this, the very, very temporary Senate Majority Leader.
00:15:37.000He just straight up blames Tucker Carlson for a shooter who, by the way, says in his manifesto that Fox News is corporate conservatism, which he hates.
00:15:46.000Organizations like Fox News have spent years perfecting the craft of stoking cultural grievance and political resentment that eerily mirrors the messages found in replacement theory.
00:16:01.000According to one measure by the New York Times, Fox's top political pundit, most widely watched, Tucker Carlson, ...has spewed rhetoric that echoes replacement theory at least 400 times on his show since 2016.
00:16:20.000Okay, that is bad research and that is, you know, really divisive, ugly stuff there from Chuck Schumer, but I would expect nothing less from this incompetent moron.
00:16:27.000So Chuck Schumer spends pretty much every day trying to polarize the American public on questions of race.
00:16:32.000Tucker Carlson, however, must be called out.
00:16:34.000And again, this is all the precursor to a call for censorship, because obviously if Tucker Carlson is a white supremacist, and if this is a widespread ideology in the United States, we have to shut Shut this stuff down where it grows.
00:16:45.000The New York Times is pushing this really, really hard today.
00:16:47.000So Shane Goldmacher and Luke Broadwater reporting for the New York Times, quote, Republicans play on fears of a great replacement in bid for base voters.
00:16:58.000The idea is that Republicans are playing on fears of a great replacement.
00:17:02.000Quote, the mass shooting in Buffalo was the work of a lone gunman, but not the product of an isolated ideology.
00:17:06.000In a manifesto, the suspect detailed how he viewed black people as replacers of white Americans.
00:17:11.000The massacre at the grocery store on Saturday trained a harsh light on the Great Replacement Theory, which the authorities say he used to justify an act of racist violence, and on how that theory has migrated from the far-right fringes of American discourse toward the center of Republican politics.
00:17:24.000Republicans across the spectrum were quick to denounce the killings, but fewer party leaders appeared willing to break with the politics of nativism and fear the party has embraced to retain the loyalties of right-wing voters inspired by Donald J. Trump.
00:17:38.000The shtick is that this is actually Trump's fault, it's the evil Republicans' fault, and that everybody here is actually mirroring the so-called Great Replacement Theory.
00:17:48.000They won't get away from the politics of fear.
00:17:52.000If Democrats keep saying over and over, which they have done for several decades, that the quote-unquote Browning of America is going to lead to greater progressivism in American politics.
00:18:00.000And then people say, well, I don't like greater progressivism in American politics.
00:18:04.000Maybe we need to restrict immigration.
00:18:05.000That doesn't make them nativist per se.
00:18:17.000I tend to be pretty libertarian on immigration, except for cultural assimilation and education levels and people not taking advantage of welfare.
00:18:27.000Those are all issues that go to voting patterns.
00:18:30.000I've said before, I don't care about the browning of America.
00:18:32.000I don't care about the skin color of any American.
00:18:34.000What I do care about is the ideologies that people take into the voting booth with them, and then how their behaviors affect the broad-writ future of the United States.
00:18:42.000The idea is that if the left says, we are going to bring in lots of immigrants in order to change the politics of the country, which the left does say this pretty regularly.
00:18:51.000They talk about how they want to bring in people from different places because they wish for America to become more progressive.
00:18:56.000They're not really hiding the ball here.
00:18:59.000If people oppose that, then this makes you a great replacement theory white supremacist, which is a wild conflation between two very separate ideas.
00:19:09.000Trying to help them out is, of course, Representative Liz Cheney, who has decided that she is going to essentially make her living now being an MSNBC pundit in the Republican caucus.
00:19:19.000Listen, I've defended Liz Cheney in the past.
00:19:21.000I've said that some of her viewpoints, while I disagree with them, are within the boundaries of the acceptable.
00:19:27.000But when Liz Cheney puts out a statement saying, House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism, History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.
00:19:36.000GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.
00:19:39.000I'm not sure what exactly she's asking people to renounce and reject.
00:19:42.000I mean, the House GOP leadership has chided Marjorie Taylor Greene far more harshly than the Democratic Party has ever chided Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib, actual open anti-Semites inside their own caucus.
00:19:52.000As far as white nationalism and white supremacy, the House GOP literally booted Steve King out of their own caucus.
00:19:59.000And when Steve King said stuff that echoed white nationalist sentiments, I personally called for him to be primaried and donated money to his primary opponent.
00:20:09.000So I'm not sure what Liz Cheney thinks she's talking about here.
00:20:14.000According to the New York Times, House Republican leaders have at times tolerated the extremist views of some in their ranks.
00:20:19.000Last year, far-right Republican members of Congress circulated plans to create an America First Caucus, where the section on immigration talked about the importance of uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.
00:20:28.000But again, that's not white nationalism.
00:20:30.000I'm sorry, Anglo-Saxon political traditions.
00:20:31.000That is language that has been used by Barack Obama, the Anglo-American legal tradition.
00:20:35.000That's language Barack Obama used while he was president of the United States and senator.
00:20:42.000Again, the best they can come up with is that you've got Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar going to a conference organized by Nick Fuentes, who's a white supremacist.
00:20:51.000Kevin McCarthy came out and said that was appalling and wrong.
00:20:55.000That doesn't seem like a party that is wildly tolerant of this sort of stuff, but Liz Cheney, of course, gets to make headlines.
00:21:00.000Listen, I'm not going to pretend that I think that Liz Cheney is insincere here, but I would say that her sincere dedication on this is misguided at the very best.
00:21:08.000Meanwhile, you've got the NPR, the New York Times, pushing this idea that the Great Replacement Theory is mainstream Republican ideology, which is really bad and makes the country significantly worse.
00:21:19.000You have Odette Youssef writing for NPR, The Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory isn't fringe anymore, it's now mainstream.
00:21:26.000The speed with which this false narrative has tipped into American discourse since a French ethno-nationalist first coined the term roughly a decade ago has stunned even extremism experts who have tracked the spread of hate-filled ideologies.
00:21:37.000They cite the failure of major social media platforms to effectively moderate such content, the role of Fox News hosts in amplifying these ideas, and the uptake of the conspiracy's language by some elected Republican officials.
00:21:47.000And again, the idea is we have to shut down social media and Fox News is really, really, really bad.
00:21:52.000So according to NPR, quote, in the US it's often called white genocide.
00:21:57.000In Europe it's called Eurabia, said Cynthia Miller Idris, professor and director of the polarization and extremism researcher and innovation lab at American University.
00:22:04.000The baseless theories claim these populations are orchestrated by elite power holders.
00:22:08.000In the United States, Miller Idris said white nationalists described the plot to Jews.
00:22:12.000In Europe, the false narrative blames elite populations for a growing Muslim population.
00:22:16.000Now again, what is the exact thing that you are trying to accuse the elites of doing.
00:22:22.000If the idea is that elites in the United States are really soft on immigration because they want a cheap labor supply and because they are eager to bring across voters they believe will vote in progressive ways, that's just called politics.
00:22:32.000If the suggestion is that there is a secret cabal of people who want to bring people across the border to pervert the native Racial stock.
00:23:26.000This is a game they like to play over here on MSNBC.
00:23:28.000That's Ben Collins from NBC, Ben Collins from NBC.
00:23:31.000But remember that the shooter, the congressional baseball shooter, literally wrote a mash note pretty much to Rachel Maddow.
00:23:39.000Nobody blamed Rachel Maddow for what that guy did.
00:23:42.000But this again is going to be the rote complaint of left is that Fox News must be silenced because after all, if Fox News isn't silenced, white supremacy will reign.
00:23:50.000So all of MSNBC has centralized on the narrative that Tucker Carlson, who just happens to be, you know, their actual media competition must be destroyed.
00:23:57.000Delinda asks, we'll get to that in a moment.
00:23:59.000First, you want to keep your home safe this summer.
00:24:01.000You're going to be out and about this summer doing fun and useful things, and you might not be home.
00:24:05.000This means you need to keep an eye on your home.
00:24:06.000Now, you know that Ring makes that video adorable, but that's not all they make.
00:24:17.000They've changed the home security game with Ring Alarm Pro.
00:24:20.000That's why I've decided to team up with Ring.
00:24:21.000And when it comes to protecting my home, I've gone pro with Ring Alarm Pro.
00:24:25.000Ring Alarm Pro is a next-level security system.
00:24:27.000CNET calls Ring Alarm Pro a giant leap for home security.
00:24:30.000After using it, I think they're totally right.
00:24:32.000Ring combined a home security system and a Wi-Fi router, so this thing helps protect your home and secure your network.
00:24:36.000So, this summer, whether I'm across the country or across town, I know everything at home is protected and connected and that it will stay that way.
00:24:42.000With a Ring Protect Pro subscription, it's an amazing deal by the way, I get professional monitoring for the ultimate peace of mind.
00:24:47.000If anything happens, Professional Monitoring will call me and request emergency services, which means I'm feeling a lot safer these days.
00:25:01.000Again, that is ring.com forward slash Ben.
00:25:05.000So you have an entire MSNBC panel yesterday blaming Tucker Carlson and Fox for a Buffalo shooting in which the shooter explicitly names Fox as an outlet he does not like and names his specific influences, including the Christchurch shooter.
00:25:20.000Including the Charleston, South Carolina church shooter.
00:25:25.000But according to MSNBC, it's all about the crypto-white nationalism of the Republican Party that somehow bled down to this mentally ill racist who shot up a bunch of black people in Buffalo, New York.
00:25:36.000Because again, the goal is, listen, if you want to have a discussion about whether you think Tucker is right or wrong on this stuff, have the discussion about whether you think Tucker is right or wrong on this stuff.
00:25:43.000If you want to have a discussion about whether you think Tucker is racist for saying the stuff that he says, have that discussion.
00:25:47.000But to attribute a shooting, a racist shooting to Tucker Carlson, specifically, so you can through sort of the transitive process, The transitive property attempt to censor Tucker Carlson.
00:25:57.000So just like this violence here needed to be stopped.
00:25:59.000Therefore, Tucker Carlson, he said stuff that is broadly speaking related kind of to what this guy was saying.
00:26:05.000Therefore, Tucker Carlson has to be stopped.
00:26:09.000And it's really hideous from the supposed protectors of free speech in the media.
00:26:12.000Here are the geniuses on MSNBC blaming Tucker and Fox for what happened in Buffalo.
00:26:18.000A Times investigation published this month showed that in more than 400 episodes of his show, Mr. Carlson has amplified the notion that Democratic politicians and other assorted elites want to force demographic change through immigration.
00:26:38.000And his producers sometimes scoured his show's raw material from the same dark corners of the Internet that the Buffalo Suspect did.
00:26:47.000If the reporting and the times is correct, if the people who worked at Fox News are accurate in what they're saying, this is a network-wide plan from Rupert Murdoch down.
00:27:04.000That New York Times piece, which you went through in detail on the show, was such a ridiculous hit piece.
00:27:08.000Again, the accusation in that piece is that Tucker was saying that political elites in this country are interested in widespread, cheap immigration, both legal and illegal, and that this will have an effect of moving the country to the left, and they know this.
00:27:21.000I don't understand how that's great replacement theory.
00:27:40.000This sort of, like, is the idea that if you are anti-mass immigration, that this now makes you complicit in mass shootings?
00:27:48.000Because if so, then I guess that more than 50% of Americans are complicit.
00:27:53.000I mean, if that's the slander you're going to leverage, is that if you are anti-mass immigration and you have serious problems with the illegal immigration policy of this administration or of the left, and you think that they are bringing in people in order to effectuate some sort of political change, And that that's the reason why this is happening?
00:28:13.000If you conflate that with white supremacy, then of course you're going to come up with a dumb stat like 50% of Americans are white because you are now redefining white supremacy to mean just normal immigration talk.
00:28:22.000But you got CNN's Jim Acosta, who really, really misses Donald Trump.
00:28:27.000He's like John Cusack with a boombox outside Donald Trump's house, shouting for him to come back so people pay attention to Jim Acosta.
00:28:33.000And more because ladies find you a man who loves you like Jim Acosta loves Jim Acosta.
00:28:36.000Here's Jim Acosta on CNN saying that Tucker Carlson is dangerous.
00:28:41.000When the New York Times recently ran an exposé on Carlson's record of promoting white nationalism and replacement theory, he tweeted out this, a picture of himself holding up the article, the front page of the New York Times, and laughing about it.
00:28:54.000Derek, as you know, millions of people absorb this garbage on a regular basis on his program.
00:29:01.000They make millions of dollars off of it.
00:29:04.000We have not shied away from calling that out and calling Tucker out on this program because what he is doing is very dangerous.
00:29:13.000And by the way, this is exactly how you launder ridiculous narratives into mainstream legacy media.
00:29:18.000So you start off with a ridiculous narrative from the New York Times that's basically just a hit piece saying they don't like that Tucker disagrees with them.
00:29:24.000And then you find some sort of stat that you basically make up out of thin air, where you conflate everything Tucker says about immigration with white supremacy.
00:29:31.000And then you don't go back to the original source material and quote Tucker Carlson.
00:29:34.000If you do that, you actually might have to discuss what he said, and then you can have a real debate over what he said.
00:29:38.000And whether it's Great Replacement Theory.
00:29:39.000Instead, what you do is you cite a stat like 400 times.
00:29:42.000He says X, Y, or Z. This is how you launder a bunch of crap into mainstream legacy media narratives, and then you call for the censorship of people with whom you disagree.
00:29:53.000So you have Ana Navarro on The View, who's going to the logical conclusion here, which is it's time to censor Fox News and go after their advertisers, which is the same conclusion the left always comes to.
00:30:10.000Tucker Carlson mentioned the Great Replacement Theory or some version of that more than 400 times on his show since 2016, according to the New York Times.
00:30:18.000Elise Stefanik bought ads on Facebook.
00:30:22.000And it's not just them, it's other hosts of Fox News, it's other Republican leaders.
00:30:28.000And listen, if you are an advertiser, advertising on that station, you are part of the problem.
00:30:34.000If you sit on the board and are trying to be a civilized person, Paul Ryan, my friend, I'm talking to you, you are part of the problem.
00:30:44.000Everybody I don't like is a white supremacist who believes in Great Replacement Theory and is responsible for mass shootings, and the advertisers are.
00:30:50.000So let's make sure that they are all silenced.
00:30:54.000Anything they don't like is now part of the Great Replacement Theory.
00:30:56.000So Whoopi Goldberg, who was most recently defending Hitler as not a racist, now says that if you favor election integrity, you're a fan of the Great Replacement Theory.
00:31:06.000He was concerned that he's being replaced by black and brown people.
00:31:11.000And I just want to say, listen, if that was the case, don't you think we would have gotten it done?
00:31:17.000People talk cold and say, oh, well, you know, voters and, but that's not what you mean.
00:31:22.000If that's what you meant, people would say, hey, let's talk about the voting laws, but they don't.
00:31:28.000We know what you mean when you say it.
00:31:30.000We've been black and brown long enough to recognize it.
00:31:36.000Um, when you talk about voter laws, typically you're talking about voter laws, but apparently now, if you talk about voter laws or voter ID, you're a racist in line with Great Replacement Theory.
00:31:45.000If you are actually Adolf Hitler, according to Whoopi Goldberg, you're not really racist, because that was white people attacking other white people because Jews are white people.
00:31:54.000Yes, I definitely trust Whoopi Goldberg on matters of racial nuance.
00:31:59.000She definitely is an expert on this sort of stuff.
00:32:01.000And then, of course, you have the broadest argument of all, according to the left, and this is Bakari Sellers on CNN, claiming that what happened in Buffalo is what America is.
00:32:53.000Anything we don't like has to be censored.
00:32:55.000And the other is you just should stop talking about any of these issues that we don't want you to talk about.
00:32:59.000Just generally speaking, anything can now be cast in the light of whatever Whatever evil is out there today.
00:33:06.000So Great Replacement Theory is now talk about immigration.
00:33:08.000If you talk about mass immigration, or if you talk about how the Democratic Party seems to not only have no handle on immigration, they don't seem to care about having a handle on immigration, and maybe there's a political purpose to that since they are in fact a political party.
00:33:18.000This now makes you an advocate of Great Replacement Theory racism.
00:33:34.000So if you have questions about this administration and why they're facilitating the entry of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants every month, if you have questions about this, this means you're an advocate of great replacement theory like that evil Tucker Carlson, who's mentioned 400 times on his show, according to the New York Times.
00:33:49.000And this means that you're responsible for a shooting in faraway Buffalo, New York, of black people, not of migrants on the border, of black people in New York.
00:34:02.000Because there actually is a real issue on the border.
00:34:05.000And we should be talking about that real issue on the border.
00:34:07.000According to the Washington Examiner, the number of migrants encountered attempting to enter the United States illegally from Mexico rose in April, surpassing all previous records over the past century.
00:34:16.000border officials intercepted 234,000 migrants attempting to enter the country illegally last month alone, according to federal court documents obtained by the Washington Examiner late Monday.
00:34:26.000In the first 15 full months of President Joe Biden's term in office, federal law enforcement at the southern border have stopped more than 2.75 million people.
00:34:40.000About half of those people end up released into the United States.
00:34:44.000Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency that inspects people and goods, said 32,288 people tried to cross at the land ports of entry but were denied.
00:34:51.000That figure is nearly three times the 11,397 figure seen in March.
00:34:57.000Apparently, the number of people actually released into the country is greater than 100,000.
00:35:04.000Fewer than half of those intercepted were expelled under Title 42.
00:35:08.000About 16,000 were removed through other procedures.
00:35:11.000So out of the 234,000 migrants who arrived at the southern border, only approximately 112,000 were actually removed. Which means that the majority of people who showed up on the border were released into the interior of the United States.
00:35:29.000So that might make you wonder, like, why are they doing that?
00:35:32.000I mean, I thought they were in charge of border production.
00:35:35.000And you might have to start asking yourself, maybe the reason they're doing that is for a political purpose.
00:35:38.000Like, for example, creating a base of voters who tend to vote in their direction.
00:35:44.000I mean, that would make some political sense, would it not?
00:35:48.000That's not a great replacement theory because, again, I don't care about the color of people coming across the border at all.
00:35:53.000I don't care about their point of origin, really.
00:35:55.000What I do care about is the cultural values they bring in, the voting values they bring in, the education they bring in, the economic value they bring in.
00:36:01.000These are all legit immigration questions, but if you ask that sort of stuff, it's really bad.
00:36:05.000Meanwhile, you've got an administration that's just looking the other way and downplaying all of this.
00:36:08.000Alejandro Mayorkas, the ridiculously awful Department of Homeland Security head, he says, you know, it's not that big a deal.
00:36:23.000Because we need our partners to the south to manage their borders as well.
00:36:29.000The migration that the United States is encountering is not an issue exclusive to the United States.
00:36:38.000It's a regional challenge and requires a regional solution.
00:36:45.000It really isn't about our border issue.
00:36:48.000It's about the Northern Triangle and our policy in Honduras.
00:36:51.000Or, theoretically, you could, you know, try to crack down on the amount of illegal immigration.
00:36:54.000And if you're not, that might make people suspicious that maybe you actually don't oppose illegal immigration all that harshly.
00:36:58.000Which, by the way, you have an entire Democratic Party caucus that is called for ending border patrol as an actual body.
00:37:04.000In just one second, we'll get to the Democrats who are desperately attempting to swivel away from economics talk because, of course, that means that they'll get their asses blown out in 2022.
00:37:13.000We'll talk about that in just a moment.
00:37:14.000First, this episode is sponsored by the Jordan Harbinger Show.
00:37:19.000The Jordan Harbinger Show features in-depth interviews with some of the world's most interesting people, like Charles Koch or Kobe Bryant.
00:37:24.000It's clear Jordan really goes in the weeds preparing for these interviews.
00:37:27.000He really asks, I think, deep and probing questions in ways that you haven't heard before.
00:37:31.000Plus, every Friday, Jordan releases a Feedback Friday episode to respond to listener questions.
00:37:34.000He covers everything from conventional problems, like leaving a dream job, to heavy subjects, like helping someone escape an abusive relationship.
00:37:40.000I'd recommend his interviews with Jack Schafer or Dan Carlin.
00:37:43.000He has a great interview with Yeonmi Park or Colby.
00:37:45.000Plus, listening to Jordan goes great with listening to this show.
00:38:07.000Add it to your podcast rotation, the Jordan Harbinger Show in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you are listening right now.
00:38:12.000Again, that's spelled Jordan, H-A-R-B as in boy, I-N as in Nancy, G-E-R Show in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you're listening to this podcast at the moment.
00:38:21.000Alrighty, to avoid public criticism and peer pressure, would you compromise your principles and blend in with the crowd?
00:38:25.000Or would you stand up for what you believe in?
00:38:27.000In 2020, massive act of courage by NBA rising star Jonathan Isaac.
00:38:31.000So, amid pro basketball's league-wide protest against racial injustice, Jonathan became one of the only players not to kneel for the national anthem.
00:38:38.000Remember, this is a major controversy, and the media went wild on him.
00:39:01.000So, if you want to hear the story behind a man who made a really courageous stand and gained inspiration and strength to uphold your own values, pick up a copy of Why I Stand by Jonathan Isaac.
00:39:10.000It's out right now wherever you buy books.
00:39:12.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:39:15.000So meanwhile, this administration, which is desperately attempting to misdirect to other issues for the elections.
00:39:26.000So they tried abortion last week, had no impact on the polls.
00:39:29.000So now they're trying all Republicans are racists who favor mass shootings.
00:39:33.000The real reason they're doing this, of course, is because on the economy, which is the major issue that is going to drive voters, on the economy, they are just a disaster area.
00:39:40.000In fact, it's so bad at this point that even Jeff Bezos, who is basically a Democratic lackey at this point, the owner of Amazon, he slammed the Biden administration on their economic policy.
00:39:51.000So the White House has now come after Jeff Bezos.
00:39:55.000And here's what they said, quote, It's also unsurprising that Jeff Bezos, who tweeted about inflation, comes after the president met with labor organizers.
00:40:00.000opposes an economic agenda for the middle class that cuts some of the biggest costs families face, fights inflation for the long haul, and adds to the historic deficit reduction the president is achieving by asking the richest taxpayers and corporations to pay their fair share.
00:40:11.000It's also unsurprising that Jeff Bezos, who tweeted about inflation, comes after the president met with labor organizers. And Bezos fired back, look a squirrel. This is the White House's statement about my recent tweets.
00:40:23.000They understandably want to muddy the topic.
00:40:25.000They know inflation hurts the neediest the most.
00:40:27.000But unions aren't causing inflation, neither are wealthy people.
00:40:29.000Remember, the administration tried their best to add another $3.5 trillion to federal spending.
00:40:34.000Had they succeeded, inflation would be even higher than it is today, and inflation today is at a 40-year high.
00:40:38.000So Jeff Bezos, I mean, this is how bad their economic record is.
00:40:41.000Jeff Bezos, who definitely supported Joe Biden for the presidency in 2020, is now ripping on their economic record.
00:40:48.000Hilariously, the Democrats are trying to claim, I kid you not, that inflation is being caused by corporate greed and what we need to do to bring down inflation is to raise taxes.
00:40:58.000Right, that'll definitely bring down inflation.
00:40:59.000If you want to bring down inflation, so the definition of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.
00:41:04.000The best way to stop that is obviously to lower the number of goods that you're creating.
00:41:09.000If you create fewer goods and the amount of money is the same, probably the prices get cheap.
00:41:16.000The good news is that we do have a self-stated, very important, black, gay, immigrant woman to explain this.
00:41:23.000This is what makes her unique, according to her.
00:41:27.000According to me, I think she's a normal human being, just like every other normal human being, and she should be respected as one of God's creatures.
00:41:32.000But according to the new White House press secretary, what makes her a unique and valuable human being is all of her intersectional characteristics.
00:41:37.000It obviously is not that she's good at her job.
00:41:39.000Here's her answer on whether taxation was going to somehow lower inflation.
00:41:44.000How does raising taxes on corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for everyday Americans?
00:41:53.000So look, I think we encourage those who have done very well, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fair tax code that doesn't charge manufacturers, workers, Cops, builders, a higher percentage of their earnings, that the most fortunate people in our nation and not let that stand in the way of reducing energy costs and fighting this existential problem if you think about that as an example.
00:42:22.000So apparently she just took out a bunch of words there, and took out one of our sponsored Kamikoto knives, and proceeded to just chop it up for a word salad, because that makes no sense.
00:42:32.000Remember, the question was, how does raising taxes on corporations fight inflation?
00:42:36.000And her answer was, climate change, samba-damba-doo-ba-dee-ba-da-ba-dee-ba-doo.
00:42:40.000That was her actual answer, right there.
00:42:43.000Because this administration has no answers, which is why they want to talk about white supremacy and abortion.
00:42:47.000Because if they had answers on the economy, they wouldn't have to talk about white supremacy and abortion.
00:42:51.000And this has become the actual talking point of the Democratic administration right now, is that inflation is going to be fought by raising taxes on the producers.
00:43:00.000Why didn't anybody think of this in the past?
00:43:02.000The best way to fight economic failure is to tax all the producers.
00:43:06.000Maybe if you go all the way, you can nationalize all the producers, and then you really don't have to worry about the economy at all.
00:43:10.000You don't have to worry about economic growth or inflation.
00:43:13.000If the government could control not only the monetary supply, but all the means of production, probably that would solve the problem.
00:43:17.000Anyway, Pete Buttigieg, our genius Secretary of Transportation, who, again, is Secretary of Transportation because number one, couldn't fill potholes in South Bend, Indiana, and two, is gay.
00:43:37.000Here's Pete Buttigieg explaining that corporate taxes will save the day.
00:43:42.000We have a very clear contrast right now, right?
00:43:44.000You have Senate Republican proposals that are about raising taxes on the poor and the middle class, and you have the President's worldview, which is shared by the majority of Americans, that if anybody needs to be carrying more of the load right now, it is the wealthiest, and corporations that have become extremely profitable.
00:44:01.000By the way, corporations also that have often... Hold on, this is really important.
00:44:05.000Corporations that have invoked inflation as an excuse to keep prices high in ways that are not just reflected by the supply picture and are pocketing the difference.
00:44:15.000Oh, so corporations just got greedy and now they are keeping the prices high because they have plenty of supply and there's no competition in the market.
00:44:22.000So little sense that Andrew Ross Sorkin, who is a member of the economic left, is saying to Pete Buttigieg, I don't even know what you're talking about, dude.
00:44:30.000That didn't stop Buttigieg from going after Jeff Bezos.
00:44:34.000Bezos tweeted, in fact, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already overheated inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves.
00:44:44.000Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent.
00:44:49.000Misdirection doesn't help the country.
00:44:53.000Look, the president's theory of the case when it comes to economics is probably never going to be wildly popular with billionaires for the simple reason that he is calling on them to pay their fair share.
00:45:07.000So basically, they go right back to the drawing board with, if the economy is bad, it's because people who are rich aren't paying their fair share.
00:45:38.000By the way, Xavier Becerra, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, he acknowledged yesterday that the FDA knew baby formula shortages could happen and they didn't do anything about it.
00:45:52.000At all times, FDA recognizes what might happen when it moves in to tell a plant, a manufacturer, that they may have to take pretty dramatic action.
