00:00:24.000 We'll get to all the news in just one moment.

00:00:26.000 First, just to be clear about this, there are only a couple of things that are sure things in life.

00:00:30.000 Death, taxes, and that you are paying too much for your cell phone bill if you are using one of the traditional cell phone coverage providers.

00:00:37.000 Instead, you need to switch over to Pure Talk USA.

00:00:39.000 In fact, Pure Talk will save the average family of four over $800 a year.

00:00:44.000 You don't have to sacrifice coverage because it's on the exact same network as one of the big providers.

00:00:54.000 Right now, you can get unlimited talk text and 6 gigs of data for just $30 a month.

00:00:58.000 And I know what you're thinking, well, what if I use more than 6 gigs of data?

00:01:00.000 Good news for you, if you go over on the data, they are not going to charge you for it over at Pure Talk USA.

00:01:05.000 It's just one of the many reasons they've been named the top wireless provider by Consumer Affairs.

00:01:22.000 There is no reason to pay too much for that cell phone bill.

00:01:25.000 The cell phone providers, they kind of fib to you about what it is that you need.

00:01:27.000 What you need is what Pure Talk USA is going to give you.

00:01:29.000 Dial pound 250.

00:01:30.000 Say Ben Shapiro.

00:01:30.000 You'll save 50% So, big news over the course of the last 24 hours.

00:01:36.000 Israel voted in its security cabinet that they were going to announce a ceasefire.

00:01:42.000 And Hamas then quickly agreed to a ceasefire.

00:01:45.000 Because Israel stopped short of completely destroying Hamas, this meant that Palestinians were out in the streets firing fireworks and declaring victory. 0.99

00:01:52.000 Weird thing to declare victory when your infrastructure has been crumbled, many of your leadership have been killed, And it's also very weird to declare victory when your entire basis for victory was supposedly that you stood up to this massive Israeli barrage, but you actually didn't.

00:02:09.000 That's the part that's kind of weird.

00:02:10.000 So you complain the entire time about how mean Israel is, and then Israel eviscerates a lot of your infrastructure and then you declare victory. 0.60

00:02:17.000 The real answer is that the Palestinians under Hamas declared victory because they got what they wanted from the world media.

00:02:24.000 And what they got from the world media was this vast turn against Israel.

00:02:27.000 And it's an amazing thing because the media just decided to conflate Hamas and Palestinians as though they are the same thing.

00:02:32.000 As though Hamas, which is the governing terrorist group in the Gaza Strip and has been since 2006, has a coincident interest with the Palestinians who live under its misrule.

00:02:43.000 who live under the boot heel of this terrorist regime.

00:02:47.000 According to the Washington Post, a ceasefire aimed at ending 11 days of withering combat between Israel and Hamas militants took effect early on Friday hours after Israel's security cabinet voted to approve an Egyptian initiative to stop the fighting.

00:02:58.000 The cabinet made up of top security officials and ministers voted unanimously to accept what Israel described as a bilateral and unconditional ceasefire.

00:03:06.000 Facing mounting international pressure, including from President Biden in recent days, the Israeli government said it decided to bring the air and artillery campaign to a halt after significantly degrading Hamas' military infrastructure and killing many of its commanders.

00:03:17.000 Hamas said that it had also agreed with the Egyptian proposal.

00:03:21.000 Zaheer Al-Munu, a media advisor, said the Palestinian resistance will abide by this agreement as long as the occupation is committed.

00:03:29.000 Israel pounded Gaza with airstrikes and artillery fire, causing extensive destruction, killing 232 Palestinians, including at least 65 children.

00:03:36.000 Now, it should be noted that whenever there are these death counts, they typically come from the Hamas information ministry.

00:03:41.000 And very often those numbers are wrong.

00:03:43.000 And it turns out later that it becomes clear how wrong they were.

00:03:46.000 But any child who died as a result of this in the Gaza Strip is a direct result of Hamas, which plants weapons and terrorists behind children. 0.71

00:03:54.000 We've played tape on this show of people in Gaza explicitly saying to Israeli forces who are warning them to get out of buildings, we want to leave our kids here, so if you hit the building, then you get blamed internationally.

00:04:05.000 Hamas's ferocious rocketing left 12 dead in Israel, two of them children, sent residents of much of the country repeatedly fleeing for shelter.

00:04:12.000 As the hour struck, Gaza residents cheered from their terraces, celebratory gunfire sounded over the mostly dark neighborhoods, a few horns that sounded from cars braving streets pocked with shell craters, and praise for God rang out from mosques around Gaza City.

00:04:23.000 It's unbelievable.

00:04:24.000 You fire hundreds of rockets at civilian areas, and then you just have your infrastructure bombed into next week, and your reaction to a ceasefire is, we won?

00:04:35.000 Now, there was no such reaction in Israel.

00:04:38.000 The reason there was no such reaction in Israel is because Israel doesn't want the conflict.

00:04:42.000 This is one of the things that I was noting a few days ago about videos of rockets being fired from Gaza.

00:04:47.000 What you saw is people in the streets actively celebrating when rockets were fired into Gaza.

00:04:51.000 You didn't see any of that in Israel.

00:04:52.000 You didn't see anybody in Israeli society cheering as the F-22s took off on their bombing runs.

00:04:59.000 But you did see that in the Gaza Strip.

00:05:01.000 There's a vast moral imbalance between Israel and its enemies in this particular war.

00:05:06.000 For his part, Joe Biden praised Benjamin Netanyahu for abiding by the ceasefire and agreeing to the ceasefire.

00:05:11.000 Here was President Biden.

00:05:13.000 In my conversation with President Netanyahu, I commended him for the decision to bring the current hostilities to a close within less than 11 days.

00:05:22.000 I also emphasized what I've said throughout this conflict.

00:05:26.000 The United States fully supports Israel's right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks from Hamas, and other Gaza-based terrorist groups that have taken the lives of innocent civilians in Israel.

00:05:38.000 Now, there's something that Joe Biden did not mention in his speech, and that, of course, is the vast wave of anti-Semitic attacks that's now hitting American cities.

00:05:44.000 It's hit European cities as well.

00:05:45.000 There's a 250% increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the UK in the middle of the Gaza War.

00:05:51.000 This has happened during many of the conflicts that have happened in the Middle East.

00:05:55.000 Very often, people who say, well, it's just anti-Zionism.

00:05:58.000 It's just anti-Israel activity.

00:06:00.000 It's not about the Jews. 0.80

00:06:01.000 Weird.

00:06:01.000 Why are you attacking that random Jew in London?

00:06:04.000 Very strange.

00:06:05.000 And same people who say, well, if Israel went away, there would be less anti-Semitism are meanwhile beating a Jew.

00:06:09.000 Like, good, good, good idea, guys.

00:06:11.000 Like, really, that makes a whole hell of a lot of sense.

00:06:13.000 Biden didn't mention this because the left has a perverse perspective on anti-Semitism, which is that anti-Semitism only matters when the person committing the anti-Semitism is a white supremacist.

00:06:22.000 When it turns out that antisemitism is a mainstream part of an increasingly mainstream segment of the international left, then antisemitism has to be ignored.

00:06:30.000 In other words, when antisemitism is part of a political program, a broader political program, to, for example, end the Jewish state, or part of a broader political program to set up Jews, who are disproportionately well-educated and successful in Western societies, as sort of the evil at the top of the intersectional hierarchy, As beneficiaries of a system that needs to be brought down, then antisemitism gets ignored. 0.55

00:06:51.000 Which of course is why the Democratic Party, just last year, decided that they were not going to bother censoring, or censuring rather, Ilhan Omar for her blatant antisemitism.

00:07:00.000 Instead, they decided that they were going to pass some sort of broad resolution condemning all bad things on planet Earth.

00:07:06.000 Because the reality is that the left cannot acknowledge antisemitism when it comes from the left.

00:07:11.000 Instead, they have to pretend that it just doesn't exist.

00:07:13.000 And so, as we will see, there have been a bevy of anti-Semitic attacks in the United States over the course of the last week.

00:07:20.000 It is not a coincidence that it is happening in the middle of this conflict with Israel, because the same people... Again, these people are siding with Hamas.

00:07:27.000 Okay, Hamas is a terrorist group.

00:07:28.000 This is not about a border conflict. 0.95

00:07:30.000 Hamas openly states it wants Israel completely destroyed, which means a genocide of the Jews.

00:07:35.000 Today, the front page of the New York Times website has zero articles about the uptick in anti-Semitic crime.

00:07:41.000 The Washington Post, its front page today, online, has zero stories about anti-Semitism across the nation.

00:07:48.000 Both ran op-eds talking about why it would be necessary for Israel to stop existing.

00:07:53.000 That is not a coincidence.

00:07:55.000 Anti-Semitism is part and parcel of the broader international left agenda at this point, and that agenda is to tear down any vestiges and systems that they believe are Implicit in the West.

00:08:06.000 And Israel is just part of that. 0.93

00:08:09.000 The international left hates Israel because they really don't like the traditional systems of the West.

00:08:14.000 Not the other way around.

00:08:15.000 In just one second, we'll get to the anti-Semitic attacks that have been happening in New York.

00:08:20.000 We already saw they're happening in Los Angeles.

00:08:22.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:09:27.000 Okay, so before we get into these antisemitic incidents, a quick primer on when antisemitism is coincident with anti-Israel sentiment.

00:09:35.000 Okay, so you can disagree with Israeli policy.

00:09:38.000 I often disagree with Israeli policy.

00:09:40.000 I, for example, think that Israel never should have pulled out of the Gaza Strip in 2005.

00:09:44.000 I think handing it over to Hamas was a terrible decision.

00:09:46.000 I think Israel never should have engaged in the Oslo process with a terrorist group known as the Palestine Liberation Organization.

00:09:52.000 That doesn't make me anti-Semitic.

00:09:53.000 And people on the other side who believe that Israel should make more concessions.

00:09:56.000 That doesn't mean that you are anti-Semitic.

00:09:59.000 There are a few key indicators as to when anti-Israel sentiment bleeds over into anti-Semitism.

00:10:03.000 One, if you're siding with an active terrorist group that is firing indiscriminately rockets at civilians while shielding its own weaponry with children, It's very hard to come up with an alternative explanation for why you think that is okay, other than you don't like Jews. 0.75

00:10:16.000 If you're treating the Jewish state in a way you would treat no other state, if there's a double standard, okay?

00:10:20.000 And this isn't my standard, this is the State Department's standard for anti-Semitism.

00:10:23.000 If you treat the Jewish state in a way different than you would treat any other state, It's an indicator of anti-Semitism.

00:10:29.000 So those are a couple indicators of when anti-Israel sentiment bleeds over into anti-Semitism.

00:10:34.000 And by the way, if you wish to see the full-scale destruction of the state of Israel, you don't wish to see the destruction of any other state on planet Earth.

00:10:40.000 You don't wish to see the destruction of any Islamic regime.

00:10:43.000 There are over 50, 57, 58 members of the Organization of Islamic Countries, explicitly Islamic.

00:10:49.000 Full-on apartheid states for people of other religions?

00:10:51.000 You don't care about that?

00:10:52.000 You don't care about the 100-plus countries that are Christian in orientation?

00:10:56.000 All you care about is the one Jewish state that looks an awful lot like an anti-Semitic double standard?

00:11:01.000 Well, the left has embraced that anti-Semitic double standard because the left sees Israel as a repository of colonialism in the region, which has to ignore all of human history.

00:11:10.000 There have been Jews in this region since 1000 BCE.

00:11:13.000 Jewish presence in the Holy Land predates the existence of Islam by some 1600 years minimum.

00:11:20.000 The first and second temples were built hundreds of years before Islam even existed.

00:11:25.000 And so the notion that this is some sort of colonialist outpost of Western civilization is a particularly bizarre one considering how Jews were often treated throughout Europe and throughout Russia and throughout every other place throughout human history.

00:11:37.000 The notion that the Jews were sort of like put there by the Europeans in order to bother the Arabs is insane, especially considering the fact that British Mandate Palestine attempted explicitly to bar Jews from buying land for decades on end and restricted Jewish immigration in a way that it never restricted Arab immigration, including restricting Jewish immigration from Europe during World War II as Jews were being sent to the gas chambers in Europe and post-World War II in order to placate the local Arab population.

00:12:00.000 So you have to just ignore all of history to come to the conclusion that this is a colonialist settler outpost.

00:12:06.000 But that is exactly what the left wants to say because this all fits into a broader left-wing worldview.

00:12:10.000 The broader left-wing worldview is that anyone who is successful in a Western system is successful because they have somehow victimized the other.

00:12:18.000 It's the same thing that you see in America with regards to critical race theory, that inequality of outcome is evidence of discrimination.

00:12:23.000 Same thing when it comes to global politics.

00:12:25.000 If Israel is very successful and the Palestinians are not particularly successful, that is not because the Palestinian leadership are a bunch of terrorists who have misdirected all funding toward terrorism and destroyed property rights and made it impossible for people to start businesses and crack down on dissent and have destroyed democracy and actually live in a one-party apartheid state. 0.74

00:12:45.000 No, it's not because of any of that.

00:12:46.000 It must be because there's this other group that's very successful right next to them.

00:12:49.000 Despite the fact that that other group, 20% of its population is Arab.

00:12:52.000 There are Arabs who sit in the Knesset.

00:12:54.000 It's a very large part of the Iran party.

00:12:55.000 There are Arabs who sit on the Supreme Court.

00:12:57.000 All of this is perfectly obvious.

00:12:59.000 So if you ignore all of that just because you don't like Israel, at that point you have to start looking at the possibility that anti-Semitism lies behind this.

00:13:06.000 Okay, and again, that is why it is no coincidence that you are seeing Palestinian anti-Semitism on the streets of the United States.

00:13:13.000 And you are seeing people on the left look the other way.

00:13:15.000 This is not being covered in the mainstream media.

00:13:17.000 In much the same way that the mainstream media really didn't want to cover anti-Asian violence in the United States until there was that mass shooting by somebody they could label a white supremacist in Atlanta.

00:13:25.000 When that happened, then they could talk about anti-Asian violence and they could pass an anti-Asian hate crime bill, but they will not pass an anti-Semitic hate crime crackdown bill.

00:13:34.000 They certainly won't do that because the people who are largely promulgating anti-Semitism in the United States these days are on the political left and that is being mainstreamed into the political left.

00:13:42.000 So here are some videos.

00:13:43.000 These are from New York over the last 48 hours.

00:13:47.000 By the way, Palestinian protesters are specifically attempting to set up protests in Jewish areas all around the country.

00:13:53.000 The reason they're doing that, of course, is because they believe that these are pro-Israel centers, and so they have to get in the face of every Jew in order to demonstrate something. 0.81

00:14:03.000 I'm not sure what it is they think they're demonstrating.

00:14:04.000 Okay, this one was really bad.

00:14:05.000 Yesterday, there was some... I mean, this is an act of terrorism.

00:14:09.000 I mean, somebody went and took a small Molotov cocktail, and they took it down to the Diamond District in New York, And they threw like an actual explosive in the Diamond District.

00:14:19.000 Okay, then they went to a restaurant, these Palestinian activists, and by activists, I mean criminals. 0.95

00:14:24.000 They went to, because there are activists and there are criminals. 0.98

00:14:28.000 If you go to a restaurant and you start spitting on people, you start spitting on Jewish diners, you're a criminal. 0.94

00:14:33.000 That's assault. 1.00

00:14:35.000 You had Palestinian activists who are riding down the street, shouting, F the Jews. 0.99

00:14:42.000 It's good times in New York over there. 0.97

00:14:48.000 There is a full-on brawl that broke out when Palestinian activists decided they were going to attack Jewish activists.

00:14:55.000 There were Jewish activists holding Israeli flags.

00:14:57.000 Palestinian activists went and grabbed the flag away from them and then started to beat up the Jews.

00:15:02.000 There are a couple of... This is in Times Square, so this is just wonderful stuff.

00:15:06.000 By the way, where are the cops in all this?

00:15:08.000 Like, seriously, where are the police?

00:15:10.000 And we've seen this in Los Angeles.

00:15:12.000 We saw in Los Angeles that there were Jews who were eating outside at a sushi restaurant on La Cienega Boulevard. 0.76

00:15:16.000 And Palestinian activists slash criminals decided that they were going to stop, try to shout at the Jews, get out of their car, and then go and beat up the Jews.

00:15:25.000 We saw a Jew being chased down by a couple of trucks with giant Palestinian flags on the back. 0.86

00:15:32.000 All this stuff is happening, and the media just have no interest in covering the actual crimes.

00:15:36.000 You'll see an occasional story about Eric Garcetti in LA, for example, condemning the hate crimes.

00:15:41.000 Nothing yet from Bill de Blasio, so far as I'm aware.

00:15:44.000 Nothing from Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York.

00:15:46.000 Nothing from Chuck Schumer, the Jewish senator from New York.

00:15:50.000 Nothing, in fact, from anybody in the Democratic Party hierarchy.

00:15:53.000 Why?

00:15:54.000 The answer is because if they recognize that perhaps the people who are siding with Hamas very often are driven... Well, not very often.

00:16:01.000 If you side with Hamas, not just you don't like some things Israel's doing, you side with Hamas, this means you're an anti-Semite. 0.71

00:16:06.000 There's just no way to read you siding with an actual overt evil terrorist group as anything other than you hate the people that the terrorists are attempting to kill.

00:16:16.000 And this has mainstreamed itself into media.

00:16:21.000 So there's open antisemitism, and it exists largely at the highest echelons of the Islamic world, particularly in Islamically governed countries like Pakistan.

00:16:31.000 There was a Pakistani foreign minister who just went on CNN, and frankly, good for the CNN host here.

00:16:35.000 The CNN host called him on it.

00:16:36.000 But the Pakistani foreign minister literally went on national television and said the Jews were on the media, which is pretty wild.

00:16:42.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:16:44.000 But MSNBC is busily actually promulgating the antisemitism.

00:16:47.000 Just like members of the Democratic Party are promulgating the anti-Semitism, just like the Washington Post is promulgating the anti-Semitism.

00:16:53.000 Now, this doesn't mean that everybody in the Democratic Party higher echelon is an anti-Semite.

00:16:58.000 It just means they're winking and nodding at it.

00:17:00.000 I mean, Joe Biden anytime could say something about Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

00:17:04.000 Instead, Joe Biden, who was fairly tolerant of Israel performing its duty to defend its citizens, he was out there praising Rashida Tlaib while Rashida Tlaib was being an open anti-Semite supporting actual acts of terrorism.

00:17:18.000 In just one second, we are going to get to more of this.

00:17:21.000 First, let's talk about the fact that big tech would love to cancel your right to free speech, or at the very least restrict it.

00:17:27.000 And then they make money off of you.

00:17:28.000 The way that they do this is they gather all the data they can about you, and then they sell that to third parties.

00:17:32.000 They track your searches, your video history, everything you click on, and then they sell your valuable data to third parties.

00:17:36.000 And when you use ExpressVPN, you can stop all of this.

00:17:39.000 Your device's IP address gets masked.

00:17:40.000 This helps anonymize your online activity, making it much more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.

00:17:45.000 ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your network data to protect you from cyber criminals and hackers.

00:18:26.000 The anti-Semitism that exists all over the world is now being mainstreamed by, for example, MSNBC.

00:18:33.000 So I'll get to actually CNN doing the right thing here as a change.

00:18:36.000 I mean, this is really kind of a shocking change.

00:18:38.000 The Pakistani foreign minister was on CNN and just started spewing random anti-Semitic nonsense.

00:18:43.000 But as you will see, the position that this guy takes is actually a fairly commonly held position on the American left, unfortunately.

00:18:50.000 Israel is losing out.

00:18:53.000 They're losing the media war, despite their connections.

00:18:57.000 They are losing the media war.

00:19:00.000 The tide is turning.

00:19:01.000 What are their connections?

00:19:05.000 Deep pockets.

00:19:07.000 What does that mean?

00:19:08.000 Well, they're very influential people.

00:19:10.000 I mean, they control media.

00:19:13.000 I mean, I would call that an anti-Semitic remark.

00:19:16.000 Well, you see, the point is they have a lot of influence.

00:19:21.000 The only guy, the dry guy actually doing what an anchor there is supposed to do.

00:19:26.000 That is the foreign minister of Pakistan.

00:19:28.000 It's a high ranking official in a foreign government talking about how the Jews control the media. 0.89

00:19:33.000 Now, this sort of stuff, unfortunately, is fairly well spoken of in elite liberal circles.

00:19:41.000 I mean, the fact is that this has been a commonly held and pervasive myth on the left for a very long time, including by people who actually serve inside the Biden administration.

00:19:51.000 Robert Malley used to make comments like this about how the American media was controlled by the Israeli lobby and all the rest of this.

00:19:57.000 OK, but MSNBC actually just mainstreams this.

00:19:59.000 So what you've seen, there are two articles in the last two days, one in The New York Times and one in The Washington Post, explicitly talking about how the two state solution was done.

00:20:07.000 Now, why is the two-state solution done?

00:20:09.000 According to them, the two-state solution is done not because terrorist groups run the West Bank and run the Gaza Strip and have explicitly refused to acknowledge the right of the State of Israel to exist.

00:20:19.000 No, it's not because of that.

00:20:20.000 It's because what you really need is a one-state solution between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, whereby Arabs swamp the Jewish population and they turn it into another Islamic state. 0.97

00:20:31.000 There's an actual article in the Washington Post today about this by Ishan Tharoor, suggesting that this is the wave of the future.

00:20:37.000 There's another article in the Washington Post.

00:20:38.000 Talking up Rashida Tlaib, the open anti-Semite.

00:20:41.000 It's a piece by Michael Kranish titled, Eight Minutes with the President.

00:20:45.000 Representative Rashida Tlaib, the lone Palestinian American in Congress, gains relevance in Israel debate.

00:20:49.000 Well, she's gaining relevance because you guys keep giving her relevance.

00:20:52.000 And because the Democratic Party refuses to quash its own anti-Semitism.

00:20:56.000 Ilhan Omar is not shy about her anti-Semitism.

00:20:58.000 Rashida Tlaib is not shy about her anti-Semitism.

00:21:00.000 And Alexander Ocasio-Cortez.

00:21:03.000 When you back Hamas and when you attack Israel's apartheid state at the same time that you are supporting a one-party terror state in the Gaza Strip, and when you hang out with Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and back all of their plays, when you attempt to block military aid to an American ally in a time when they're under consistent rocket fire, When you hang out with Jeremy Corbyn, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this, you are now in the anti-Semitic category.

00:21:23.000 You have now exited the point where you are just an ignoramus, and you have entered the anti-Semitic category, which is true of Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, it's true of Cori Bush, it's true of the Squad.

00:21:32.000 The Squad has decided to engage full-scale in anti-Semitism by the State Department definition, treating Israel with a double standard, demonizing Israel, treating Jews as extensions of Israel. 0.88

00:21:42.000 All of this sort of stuff is stuff that is routinely done by the Squad, and the media as well.

00:21:48.000 MSNBC hosted the sponsor of boycott, divestment and sanctions yesterday.

00:21:53.000 That's Omar Barghouti.

00:21:54.000 Omar Barghouti is like an open anti-Semite.

00:21:57.000 He has explicitly stated that boycott, divestment and sanctions of Israel, which is an attempt to get everybody to stop doing business with the state of Israel.

00:22:03.000 He's explicitly said that his goal is the destruction of the state of Israel.

00:22:06.000 Here he was being touted on MSNBC yesterday.

00:22:09.000 The United States government is complicit through its military funding, academic institutions, cultural institutions, investment funds are also complicit when they invest in companies that are enabling the occupation, the house demolition, and so on.

00:22:26.000 So we're calling for ending complicity so that Palestinians can achieve our rights under international law and nothing beyond that, and end to the occupation OK, OK, when he says the rights of refugees, what he means is that every Palestinian should be allowed into Israel to be a citizen of Israel, despite the fact that they explicitly say they want to destroy the state of Israel.

00:22:46.000 This is the equivalent of during the Cold War, the United States, the left in the United States saying we should give citizenship to every member of the International Communist Party in order to come to the United States so they can vote to get rid of the United States.

00:22:56.000 Everybody understands this.

00:22:57.000 There has never been in human history a quote unquote right of return to a foreign state.

00:23:02.000 That is not a thing.

00:23:03.000 Without the permission of the state involved.

00:23:05.000 That has never been a thing.

00:23:08.000 In any case, the BDS co-founder then went on and called Israel an apartheid state and praised AOC in the process.

00:23:15.000 And this guy's been not shy about what his actual goals are.

00:23:18.000 I'll play his goals in a second.

00:23:19.000 Omar Barghouti.

00:23:21.000 Now they realize Israel is an apartheid state.

00:23:23.000 That was an absolute taboo just a year ago.

00:23:26.000 Today, how many members of Congress are saying Israel is an apartheid state?

00:23:30.000 How many members of Congress are calling for conditioning aid to Israel or cutting military funding to Israel altogether?

00:23:37.000 Cori Bush, for example, Congresswoman Cori Bush, connected Palestinian liberation with the Black Lives Matter movement, saying that let's not send any military funding to an apartheid regime.

00:23:48.000 We must be anti-apartheid, period, she said. 0.54

00:23:51.000 AOC said apartheid is no democracy.

00:23:54.000 So those voices are rising.

00:23:56.000 Okay, he's right.

00:23:57.000 Those voices are rising.

00:23:58.000 Incomplicit.

00:23:59.000 Incomplicity.

00:24:00.000 With actual anti-Semites like Omar Barghouti.

00:24:01.000 He has explicitly said that his entire movement is designed at destroying the state of Israel.

00:24:05.000 And destroying the Jewish state. 0.85

00:24:06.000 This is the last year.

00:24:07.000 This is May of last year.

00:24:08.000 Okay, he's going to be speaking in Arabic, and I'll read you the translation.

00:24:13.000 It says, if the refugees return to their homes in Israel, as the BDS movement calls for, what will be left of the Zionist regime?

00:24:22.000 There won't be any Zionist state like the one we are talking about present-day Israel.

00:24:26.000 And the Palestinian minority will become a Palestinian majority in the state that today is called Israel.

00:24:33.000 He openly acknowledges what his goals are.

00:24:35.000 And everyone knows this.

00:24:36.000 And MSNBC is pushing it. 0.84

00:24:38.000 And AOC is pushing it.

00:24:39.000 And Ilhan Omar is pushing it.

00:24:40.000 And Rashida Tlaib is pushing it. 1.00

00:24:41.000 And the Washington Post is pushing it.

00:24:43.000 And where is the higher echelon of the Democratic Party?

00:24:46.000 If you think this is unrelated to tolerance for anti-Semitic incidents on the streets of New York, you're out of your mind.

00:24:51.000 Of course it is.

00:24:52.000 Of course it is.

00:24:53.000 The tolerance for anti-Semitic incidents is tied to the fact that the people who are participating in the anti-Semitism are supporters of some of the biggest Democrats in Congress.

00:25:01.000 They're people who ideologically hold the same positions as Democrats in Congress in the same way that for a year and a half, Democ- Democrats decided they would completely overlook and or cheer on rioting and looting because those people agreed with them on fundamental principles.

00:25:15.000 And sure, they might go a little bit too far and they might not love it.

00:25:18.000 But let's acknowledge that they have a point.

00:25:20.000 This is the same reason why they're completely ignoring the anti-Semitic attacks that are happening in New York.

00:25:25.000 I mean, Bernie Sanders, who is when people say that Bernie Sanders is a Jew, he's ethnically Jewish and he has no relationship with Judaism.

00:25:32.000 None.

00:25:32.000 OK, he is he is not a Jew by culture.

00:25:34.000 He is not a Jew by belief.

00:25:36.000 He is not a Jew in any sense other than ethnic Judaism in the same way that if you are born into a Catholic family, perhaps you are. 0.67

00:25:42.000 Ethnically Catholic, if that were a thing.

00:25:45.000 And then, if you don't practice Catholicism, in fact, if you spend all your life attempting to rip down Catholicism, it'd be very difficult to call you a Catholic.

00:25:51.000 Same sort of thing with Bernie Sanders.

00:25:53.000 He's not a religious Jew. 0.90

00:25:54.000 He is not oriented toward Judaism or toward the state of Israel in any political way, which is, the Democratic Party uses him as cover.

00:26:02.000 The Radical Democrats use him as cover.

00:26:03.000 He's been radically anti-Israel his entire career.

00:26:06.000 So he and AOC moved to block a private weapons sale to Israel in the middle of all of this.

00:26:11.000 That, of course, is no shock.

00:26:14.000 The House Democrats just voted down yesterday a rearmament, an ability to rearm the Iron Dome, which is a purely defensive technology.

00:26:23.000 Yesterday, House Democrats voted 218 to 209 to reject a security funding amendment offered by Representative Tony Gonzalez of Texas.

00:26:30.000 The measure would have paved the way for Israel to receive a tranche of emergency dollars specifically for missile defense.

00:26:36.000 The Democrats voted that down.

00:26:38.000 So don't pretend that the Democratic Party isn't complicit in the anti-Israel move.

00:26:42.000 Good for Joe Biden for holding out as long as he did against these folks.

00:26:46.000 But when is he going to speak up against the anti-Semitism inside his own party?

00:26:49.000 Rashida Tlaib is busily tweeting, if my colleagues even mentioned Palestinians deserving human rights, they are aggressively bullied by those who prefer Israel as it is, apartheid, oppression, occupation, and all.

00:26:58.000 My message to you all is this, do not be afraid to stand for justice.

00:27:03.000 The American people are with us.

00:27:05.000 The American people are absolutely not with you by any poll statistic.

00:27:09.000 But the Democrats are too afraid of people like Rashida Tlaib because she's intersectional. 1.00

00:27:13.000 She then quotes Peter Beinart, who is Hamas' favorite commentator, and who also believes that Israel Israel should essentially be destroyed.

00:27:20.000 He says the reason the American debate over Israel-Palestine could shift dramatically and quickly is that many Democratic politicians don't need to be convinced that what Israel is doing is wrong.

00:27:27.000 They just need to be convinced that they can say so without hurting their careers.

00:27:30.000 I don't think that Beinart is completely wrong about this.

00:27:32.000 I think that Beinart recognizes that the Democratic Party has moved in a radically anti-Israel direction the same way that Peter Beinart has moved in a radically anti-Israel direction.

00:27:39.000 And that has consequences.

00:27:41.000 I'm old enough to remember when Democrats suggested that anti-Semitic attacks against Jews were driven by Trump's unmoored rhetoric with regard to white supremacy or something.

00:27:48.000 They blamed the Tree of Life shooting on Donald Trump.

00:27:51.000 They get a wide spate of anti-Semitic attacks, and it has nothing to do with the Democrats in New York explicitly talking about the evils of Israel, how it's an apartheid state, and how Israel does not have the duty to defend itself, and siding with an actual terrorist group.

00:28:04.000 You have the Democratic Party at the highest echelons refusing to condemn the anti-Semites in their own ranks, and it has no impact at all.

00:28:11.000 You're gonna have to explain that one.

00:28:13.000 Bottom line is anti-Semitism from the left is fine according to the left. 0.99

00:28:16.000 End of story.

00:28:17.000 It is completely fine.

00:28:19.000 And they'll just push full-on anti-Semitism in the media up to and including full-on pieces calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.

00:28:26.000 When people say one state solution, understand that what they are calling for is the destruction of the state of Israel in the way that they are articulating this.

00:28:33.000 And you have top Democrats, of course, trying to actually block Israel from being able to defend its own citizens.

00:28:38.000 Remember, every anti-missile missile that is fired by the Iron Dome costs about $100,000.

00:28:42.000 These are smart weapons.

00:28:44.000 Every rocket that is fired by Hamas costs less than $1,000.

00:28:46.000 They are very cheap to put together.

00:28:48.000 They are dummy weapons that are being just sent in randomly to kill as many civilians as possible.

00:28:53.000 So it's much more expensive to arm Iron Dome than it is to build a dummy rocket.

00:28:57.000 And yet, in the middle of this, the Democrats are trying to cut funding.

00:28:59.000 It's pretty incredible.

00:29:00.000 It's pretty incredible.

00:29:01.000 Okay, in just one second, we are going to get to CNN blowing out its own credibility once more.

00:29:05.000 First, let us talk about your sleep quality.

00:29:08.000 Let's talk about the fact that, for me, I've got my kids waking me up at all hours.

00:29:11.000 When I am on my mattress, I need to be sleeping.

00:29:13.000 I can't be tossing and turning.

00:29:14.000 I can't be uncomfortable.

00:29:15.000 I need a mattress made just for me, and Helix Sleep made that happen just for me.

00:29:19.000 My wife and I took their two-minute sleep quiz.

00:29:20.000 They sent us a mattress that is personalized for us.

00:29:23.000 Everybody is unique.

00:29:23.000 Helix Sleep knows that.

00:29:24.000 They have several different mattress models to choose from.

00:29:26.000 They have soft, medium, firm mattresses, mattresses great for cooling you down if you sleep hot, even a Helix Plus mattress for plus-size folks.

00:29:33.000 So if you're looking for a mattress, you take the quiz, they send you the mattress.

00:29:37.000 And then you just unbox it and it inflates right in front of you.

00:29:39.000 You pop it on the bed frame.

00:29:40.000 You are good to go.

00:29:41.000 Helix is awesome, but you don't need to take my word for it.

00:29:43.000 Helix was awarded the number one best overall mattress pick of 2020 by GQ and Wired Magazine.

00:29:47.000 Just head on over to helixsleep.com slash Ben.

00:29:50.000 Take their two-minute sleep quiz.

00:29:51.000 They will match you to a customized mattress that will give you the best sleep of your life.

00:29:55.000 You get to try it out for 100 nights risk-free.

00:29:57.000 They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it, but you will.

00:30:00.000 Helix is offering up to 200 bucks off all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners at helixsleep.com slash Ben.

00:30:05.000 Again, that's helixsleep.com slash Ben.

00:30:09.000 200 bucks off all mattress orders and two free pillows.

00:30:11.000 helixsleep.com slash Ben.

00:30:13.000 All righty.

00:30:14.000 Meanwhile, CNN just Disgraced itself once again, according to the Washington Post, Chris Cuomo took part in strategy calls advising his brother.

00:30:25.000 This is not a shock in any way, shape, or form.

00:30:27.000 I mean, it's pretty obvious this is going to happen.

00:30:29.000 The only thing that's humiliating about this for CNN is that Chris Cuomo got caught.

00:30:33.000 And the fact is that Jeff Zucker was on the phone with, like, Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign.

00:30:38.000 Members of the media are constantly strategizing with other members of the Democratic Party, because the media is an entirely Democratic-run operation at this point.

00:30:47.000 There's a reason why AP and Hamas are in the same building. 0.90

00:30:51.000 AP does propaganda work for Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

00:30:55.000 The notion that the media does not have very cozy relationships with the people that it covers is just insane, which of course is why the entire media is out in defense of Chris Cuomo today, despite the fact it should be a pretty humiliating headline.

00:31:06.000 According to the Washington Post, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo advised his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and senior members of the governor's staff on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations made earlier this year by women who had worked with the governor, according to four people familiar with the discussions.

00:31:20.000 Cuomo, one of the network's top stars, joined a series of conference calls that included the Democratic governor, his top aide, his communications team, lawyers, and a number of outside advisors, according to people familiar with the conversations.

00:31:31.000 The cable news anchor encouraged his brother to take a defiant position and not to resign.

00:31:34.000 At one point, he used the phrase cancel culture as a reason to hold firm in the face of the allegations.

00:31:39.000 In a statement, CNN acknowledged that Chris Cuomo took part in the strategy sessions, saying his involvement was a mistake.

00:31:46.000 They said Chris has not been involved in CNN's extensive coverage of the allegations against Governor Cuomo on air or behind the scenes, in part because, as he has said on the show, he could never be objective, but also because he often serves as a sounding board for his brother.

00:31:57.000 Well, weird, because he covered him for a year on COVID, while he was covering up nursing home deaths, while he was lying to the public.

00:32:05.000 He was covering his own brother on the air for a year, The statement says it was inappropriate to engage in conversations that included members of the governor's staff, which Chris acknowledges.

00:32:15.000 He will not participate in such conversations going forward.

00:32:19.000 The anchor said he was walled off from coverage of the governor without mentioning the special dispensation he received from CNN to feature him on his show during the pandemic.

00:32:27.000 The episode illuminates how the Cuomo brothers, who are 13 years apart in age, have benefited from their respective high perches in politics and media.

00:32:33.000 Shocker.

00:32:34.000 Early in the COVID pandemic, a top Department of Health doctor was dispatched to the Hamptons to test Chris Cuomo and his family, The Washington Post had previously reported.

00:32:43.000 Former and current administration officials said the anchor played an active role early in the governor's coronavirus strategy, as he was strategizing with Cuomo on COVID and then covering him on CNN.

00:32:54.000 This is not a shock.

00:32:55.000 The brothers sometimes fish together in the waters off Long Island.

00:32:58.000 Okay, I can't avoid it.

00:33:00.000 He's not Fredo, guys.

00:33:01.000 He's not Fredo. 0.98

00:33:01.000 Remember, if you say that Chris Cuomo is the dumber younger brother, he's smart! 0.98

00:33:06.000 Not like everyone says, not like dumb! 0.99

00:33:07.000 Like smart! 0.98

00:33:08.000 And he wants respect!

00:33:10.000 He's not Fredo, because apparently, according to Chris Cuomo, if you say that he is like Fredo, like the stupider younger brother who's being dragged around based on the family name, if you say that, then obviously that is, like, he said that was like the N-word for some reason, which is weird, because The Godfather is, like, about an Italian crime family, and, um, I really don't think that the ethnicity of the Cuomos has much to do with the Fredo reference. 0.94

00:33:30.000 It's one of the most iconic references to a dumb younger brother, a dumb older brother, actually, in the history of cinema.

00:33:36.000 But, in any case, The governor only trusts about five people, one advisor with knowledge of the strategy session said, so that's why Chris is on these calls. 0.73

00:33:44.000 Oh.

00:33:45.000 Inside CNN on Thursday, several employees described a sense of unease about the role Cuomo played in advising his brother, with one calling his decision to do so really upsetting.

00:33:53.000 Well, I mean, if you're upset.

00:33:54.000 Another person said that in a political climate in which CNN journalists come under intense scrutiny, having one of their own offering advice to a major Democratic figure felt like a self-inflicted wound.

00:34:03.000 This was, yes, it is!

00:34:05.000 We were saying this the entire time.

00:34:07.000 You had him on national TV joking about, does mom love you best?

00:34:10.000 Doing a Smothers Brothers routine.

00:34:13.000 He's got a giant Q-tip.

00:34:14.000 He's got a big nose.

00:34:17.000 Hey, now, just a couple of flashbacks here.

00:34:19.000 So first of all, Cuomo has now apologized.

00:34:21.000 And so he went on air last night, he apologized for this.

00:34:24.000 Uh-huh.

00:34:25.000 I believe him.

00:34:27.000 I can be objective about just about any topic.

00:34:30.000 But not about my family.

00:34:32.000 Those of you who watch this show get it.

00:34:34.000 Like you, I bet.

00:34:35.000 My family means everything to me.

00:34:39.000 And I am fiercely loyal to them.

00:34:43.000 I'm family first, job second.

00:34:47.000 I understand why that was a problem for CNN.

00:34:50.000 It will not happen again.

00:34:52.000 It was a mistake.

00:34:53.000 Because I put my colleagues here, who I believe are the best in the business, in a bad spot.

00:35:00.000 I never intended for that.

00:35:02.000 I would never intend for that.

00:35:04.000 And I am sorry for that.

00:35:05.000 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:35:06.000 It's the most obvious conflict of interest in media history, right?

00:35:09.000 I mean, his own brother, he's advising him on COVID, and then he's covering him on air, doing joking routines about how he's the best governor in America and how there are homosexuals and such.

00:35:19.000 You remember this.

00:35:20.000 Okay, it was perfectly obvious this was a conflict.

00:35:22.000 Why did it never occur to Chris Cuomo that it was a conflict?

00:35:24.000 Why did it never occur to the CNN higher-ups that this was inappropriate?

00:35:26.000 And the answer is because they all have the same relationship with the Democrats that Chris has with his brother.

00:35:31.000 That's the answer.

00:35:32.000 These people have the same relationship with the Biden administration and had with the Obama team as Chris has with his brother.

00:35:38.000 When it comes to the media, blood is only slightly thicker than the water that passes between the media and their Democratic sponsors.

00:35:48.000 The reality is that the anchors on CNN are constantly advising people in the democratic hierarchy about what they think they should do.

00:35:56.000 Now listen, I'm a politically biased observer.

00:35:58.000 I talk with Republicans.

00:36:00.000 I advise some Republicans.

00:36:01.000 I'll tell you when I've talked with a Republican and advised a Republican.

00:36:03.000 But you know my political bona fides out front.

00:36:05.000 I am not hiding them.

00:36:06.000 The difference is that CNN pretends it's objective.

00:36:09.000 CNN pretends that they are not lying to you.

00:36:11.000 CNN pretends that they are not biased in any way, that they are somehow a higher level of news.

00:36:16.000 They're only embarrassed they got caught.

00:36:18.000 And they did get caught, right?

00:36:20.000 Flashback to Chris Cuomo, not all that long ago, saying, yeah, it's kind of unusual that I cover my brother, but it's just something we have to do.

00:36:27.000 Me having you on the show is an unusual thing.

00:36:29.000 We've never really done it.

00:36:30.000 But this was an unusual time.

00:36:32.000 And there were unusual needs.

00:36:34.000 And you stepped up in an unusual way that really was created by a vacuum of power on the federal level.

00:36:40.000 You're not the only one.

00:36:40.000 There were other governors.

00:36:41.000 You've been very good and collaborative with Hogan down in Maryland and Whitmer and DeWine and the ones up in the Northeast region.

00:36:48.000 But these unusual times have demonstrated some unusual characteristics in people.

00:36:54.000 I'm sorry.

00:36:55.000 So he was openly admitting the conflict of interest way back when.

00:36:58.000 But then, as soon as it was sexual harassment, he's like, oh, well, I can't cover it.

00:37:01.000 He's my brother. 0.99

00:37:02.000 We all noted the idiocy of this at the time. 0.99

00:37:06.000 Obviously, I'm aware of what's going on with my brother. 0.99

00:37:09.000 And obviously, I cannot cover it because he is my brother.

00:37:14.000 Now, of course, CNN has to cover it.

00:37:19.000 They have covered it extensively and they will continue to do so.

00:37:24.000 I have always cared Very deeply about these issues and profoundly so.

00:37:32.000 I just wanted to tell you that there's a lot of news going on that matters also.

00:37:36.000 So let's get after that.

00:37:40.000 OK, this is. 0.93

00:37:42.000 It's ridiculous, but it is CNN in a nutshell. 0.94

00:37:45.000 This is CNN. 0.95

00:37:46.000 This is CNN.

00:37:48.000 An apple is an apple, a banana is a banana, and these reporters cover people that they love and advise on a regular basis.

00:37:53.000 And Chris Cuomo just got caught.

00:37:55.000 That's all.

00:37:55.000 But it was in plain sight.

00:37:56.000 There was nothing to catch.

00:37:57.000 Okay, in just one second, we'll get to the continued cozy relationship between the media and the Democrats, who are basically their sponsors.

00:38:05.000 They're just their clients.

00:38:06.000 We'll get to that in one second.

00:38:07.000 First, let us talk about the fact that if you are going to make your business better, one tool that you may be leaving on the table is the tool of texting.

00:38:15.000 Podium is a messaging platform to power your business.

00:38:29.000 It's more convenient for me.

00:38:30.000 If I get a cold call, I am never, ever going to respond to the cold call.

00:38:34.000 If I get an email, it's rare that I will respond.

00:38:36.000 If I get a text from business telling me about an appointment, telling me about a deal, much better chance that I'm actually going to take a look at the text.

00:38:43.000 This is why Podium makes your business more successful.

00:39:11.000 All right, we're gonna get to more of the media's pathetic First, if you've noticed that the list of words you're allowed to say is shrinking, that's because the list is shrinking and that is not a good thing, which is why Michael Knowles has a new book.

00:39:25.000 It's called Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.

00:39:27.000 This book actually has words in it, which I'm very impressed that Knowles actually wrote words in his book.

00:39:46.000 This Sunday, we also have a new episode of the Sunday Special.

00:39:49.000 I've got a very interesting guest, David Horowitz.

00:39:51.000 He began his journey into politics as a self-identified Marxist.

00:39:54.000 He will be sitting across from me now as a conservative activist and founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

00:39:58.000 Full disclosure, I used to work for David over at the Freedom Center.

00:40:02.000 It's a really interesting interview.

00:40:03.000 It goes all the way back into time, why he was on the left, what he saw on the left, and how the left has become so successful.

00:40:09.000 Here's a sneak peek.

00:40:11.000 The left is very intimidating.

00:40:13.000 They've got 61% of Democrats believing that all Republicans are racists.

00:40:19.000 And as I say, Republicans are firing back by calling them liberals or saying they're playing with politics.

00:40:27.000 They're not playing people.

00:40:32.000 So, check it out this Sunday, DailyWire.com or on my YouTube channel, Ben Shapiro.

00:40:40.000 Join DailyWire today.

00:40:40.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:40:53.000 It's just a difference of degree, not a difference of kind between how the media normally treat the Democratic Party.

00:40:57.000 There are dozens and dozens and dozens of members of the media who immediately jumped right back into the Biden administration after having been in the Obama administration, been hired by CNN, then go right back into the Biden administration.

00:41:06.000 You think they didn't talk with members of the Democratic Party all that time?

00:41:11.000 I mean, CNN Global Affairs Analyst Anthony Blinken is now the Secretary of State.

00:41:15.000 Barbara McQuaid was an MSNBC columnist, NBC News and MSNBC legal analyst, and then was tapped for Joe Biden's legal review team. 1.00

00:41:23.000 Richard Stengel was an MSNBC political analyst.

00:41:26.000 They used him as a foreign affairs reporter.

00:41:27.000 Richard Stengel, rather.

00:41:29.000 He's the Biden-Harris transition team's lead official for the U.S.

00:41:31.000 Agency for Global Media.

00:41:35.000 There's so many members of the media who have been Tapped as possibilities for the Biden administration.

00:41:42.000 In fact, the reality is that the media are just an extension of the Democratic Party, which is part of the problem.

00:41:48.000 There's a poll out today and it shows that a huge number of Americans do not trust the media.

00:41:53.000 And my answer is, who does at this point?

00:41:55.000 Why would you?

00:41:57.000 What exactly are the statistics that would lead you to believe that the media are trustworthy?

00:42:02.000 They simply are not.

00:42:03.000 And yet we are told every day that the people who are the most trustworthy are members of the establishment media.

00:42:09.000 By the way, is Chris Cuomo going to lose his job?

00:42:11.000 No.

00:42:12.000 Chris Cuomo isn't going to lose anything.

00:42:14.000 In fact, as even the Washington Post notes, there is literally nothing facing Chris Cuomo at this point.

00:42:21.000 Says Eric Wemple, writing for the Washington Post, The CNN issued a statement defending Cuomo, quote, the early months of the pandemic crisis were an extraordinary time.

00:42:29.000 We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest.

00:42:35.000 As a result, we made an exception to a rule we've had in place since 2013, which prevents Chris from interviewing and covering his brother.

00:42:40.000 And that rule remains in place today.

00:42:42.000 According to Eric Wemple, the reason Chris Cuomo now acknowledges it was inappropriate to advise his brother in strategy sessions is because he got caught.

00:42:51.000 He gets no credit for acknowledging his transgression.

00:42:53.000 How are we to trust the pledge not to backslide?

00:42:56.000 And that, of course, is exactly correct.

00:42:59.000 So you wonder why we can't have a common set of facts?

00:43:01.000 The reason is because very often the facts are just not reported.

00:43:05.000 You can't have a common set of facts when people on one side refuse to acknowledge that the facts even exist.

00:43:10.000 We cover on this show all the time facts that do not tend to support Republicans and do not help Republicans.

00:43:16.000 We covered extensively January 6th and the lead up to January 6th.

00:43:19.000 We covered extensively the allegations of voter fraud and voter irregularities.

00:43:22.000 I said over and over that I wasn't seeing the evidence that was being suggested by the Trump campaign.

00:43:29.000 We cover news that cuts in all directions and then we comment on that news.

00:43:35.000 But there are two types of media bias.

00:43:36.000 One is how you cover the news, and the other is what you don't cover.

00:43:39.000 And the fact is, the media have just decided that they don't wish to cover news they don't wish to cover.

00:43:44.000 Which is why you don't see any headlines over at the New York Times or Washington Post on an uptick in anti-Semitic incidents.

00:43:49.000 It's why you don't see the New York Times or Washington Post cover anti-Asian hate until it turns out there's an actual anti, supposedly targeted anti-Asian violence, supposedly, because it's not racially motivated so far as we are aware based on the evidence, but this anti-Asian attack in Atlanta.

00:44:05.000 No comment on the amount of anti-Asian hate implicit in democratic policy with regard to, for example, campus issues and barring Asians from higher education.

00:44:14.000 The media just ignores stuff.

00:44:17.000 Why?

00:44:17.000 Well, because the media and the Democratic Party are one and the same.

00:44:20.000 The secret is that Chris Cuomo is not Fredo. 0.96

00:44:23.000 Chris Cuomo is not the dumb older brother who just wants respect. 0.96

00:44:27.000 The entire media are Fredo. 0.95

00:44:30.000 The entire media are members of the political establishment who are jealous of their elected brothers and wish to be of aid to them sometimes and wish to make a buck off of the family name.

00:44:43.000 Chris Cuomo is just the entire media writ small.

00:44:47.000 That's all.

00:44:48.000 And once you recognize this, you can recognize the agenda in pretty much everything they do.

00:44:51.000 And you shouldn't take them seriously.

00:44:53.000 And if you do take them seriously, at the very least, you ought to get some countervailing points of view. 0.93

00:44:58.000 I'll just note that CNN was rated by the pathetically stupid Organization News Guard, which is supposed to be the guardian of objective journalism. 0.91

00:45:05.000 They're rated an 8 out of 10 in terms of objectivity, in terms of trustworthiness. 0.98

00:45:09.000 Daily Wire was rated a 3.

00:45:11.000 That's not because CNN is more trustworthy.

00:45:13.000 It's because CNN is less trustworthy.

00:45:14.000 It's because CNN lies about what they are, just like the establishment media lie about what they are on a regular basis.

00:45:19.000 We will tell you the truth about what we are, and then you get to make up your mind.

00:45:22.000 Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.

00:45:25.000 First, you cannot forget to end your week by checking out The Andrew Klavan Show.
