Summary

America s college campuses are in a state of complete meltdown, at least in the blue states, where administrators cater to the whims of America-hating, evil, radical people. Why are these students, the most privileged people in the history of the world, with no skill set, no problems, why are they LARPing as terrorists, standing for murderous groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the like, and standing for anti-Semitic slogans? Why are they doing all of this? The answer is very simple. They want revolution. And the only way to get there is by joining a revolutionary cause. They ve been told that they are the smartest, the brightest, the people who are going to lead us to the future, but they ve been given no actual set of values. And then they meet fellow revolutionaries and revolutionary professors who are also incredibly privileged, who inform them that the system that has given them their privilege is corrupt and evil, and they feel guilty. And they have to alleviate that guilt by joining the revolution, to cosplay oppression. That s the path where a few acts of violence blossom out. That's actually a darker and more violent path, the one where they go on to integrate into more mainstream institutions, which they then destroy and corrupt from the inside. That actually has been the formula for the last several decades, and it has absolutely destroyed major American institutions, from universities to businesses, from businesses to businesses. And it s actually happened before in American history. In 1971 and 72 in the United States, there were five bombings a day in the U.S. What s going to happen in a moment?

00:00:00.000 America's college campuses are in a state of complete meltdown, at least in the blue states, where administrators are catering to the whims of America-hating, evil, radical people.
00:00:08.000 The question everyone is asking right now is an easy question.
00:00:12.000 Why are these students, the most privileged people in literally the history of the world, no skill set, no problems, why are they LARPing as terrorists?
00:00:22.000 And standing for murderous groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the like.
00:00:27.000 Why are they overtly chanting anti-Semitic slogans?
00:00:30.000 Why are they doing all of this?
00:00:31.000 The answer is very simple.
00:00:33.000 They want revolution.
00:00:35.000 There's a professor at Northwestern University named Gary Saul Morrison, a really interesting book called Wonder Confronts Certainty, which is about the history of Russian literature.
00:00:42.000 But what the book is really about is what he describes as a Russian type, the revolutionary.
00:00:47.000 The revolutionary is typically from a well-off background, but in love with destruction for its own sake.
00:00:53.000 So, Bakunin, Mikhail Bakunin, is an anarchist, very famous anarchist.
00:00:57.000 He famously said, the will to destroy is also a creative will.
00:01:01.000 Or as the Marxist radical and pro-terror philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre wrote, Quote, terror is justified violence against the practical inert.
00:01:10.000 In 1918, there was a Russian poet named Alexander Bloch, and he wrote an essay titled The Intelligentsia and the Revolution.
00:01:15.000 In it, he argued that violence is an antidote to the boredom, the triviality of regular life.
00:01:20.000 It will, quote, make everything over, change our false, boring, hideous life.
00:01:24.000 This is called revolution.
00:01:26.000 But here's the thing.
00:01:27.000 Revolutionaries cannot succeed without mainstream support.
00:01:31.000 During the lead-up to the Russian Revolution, the so-called Constitutional Democratic Party openly cheered and encouraged terrorists, even fundraising for them.
00:01:38.000 The party leader said after a massive terrorist attack in 1906, quote, Never.
00:01:43.000 That would mean the moral death of the party.
00:01:46.000 Naturally, when the Bolsheviks actually won, they killed or arrested all the leading members of the Constitutional Democratic Party.
00:01:52.000 When it comes to our radicals, nothing has changed.
00:01:55.000 We're talking about bored, middle-to-upper-class kids, privileged by a system that has handed them literally everything, including admission to our top universities, but they've been given no admission by their parents, And by their society other than to find themselves.
00:02:10.000 They've been told that they are the smartest, the brightest, the people who are going to lead us to the future.
00:02:15.000 But they've been given no actual set of values.
00:02:18.000 And then they go to campus and they meet fellow revolutionaries and revolutionary professors, who are also incredibly privileged, who inform them that the system that has given them their privilege is corrupt.
00:02:29.000 And evil.
00:02:29.000 And they feel guilty.
00:02:30.000 And the only way to alleviate that guilt is to join the revolution.
00:02:34.000 To cosplay oppression.
00:02:36.000 So they have to find a revolutionary cause, and then they have to LARP as revolutionaries oppressed by the system.
00:02:41.000 They have to dissociate from their privilege.
00:02:44.000 They have to join the mass of the supposedly oppressed.
00:02:47.000 So here's the thing.
00:02:48.000 Right now, what's going on on these campuses, it feels like LARPing, right?
00:02:52.000 Live action role-playing.
00:02:53.000 And maybe these idiots go on to integrate into more mainstream institutions, which they then destroy and corrupt from the inside.
00:03:00.000 That actually has been the formula for the last several decades.
00:03:03.000 And it has absolutely destroyed major American institutions, from universities to businesses.
00:03:07.000 The radicals went into traditional American society, and instead of being shaped by those institutions, they shaped them.
00:03:13.000 But there is, in fact, a darker and more violent path.
00:03:16.000 That is the path where the LARPing for terrorism doesn't actually just stop at taking over campus buildings or assaulting Jewish students.
00:03:23.000 That's the path where a few acts of violence blossom out.
00:03:26.000 And the real revolution is now true violence.
00:03:29.000 That's actually happened before in American history.
00:03:32.000 In 1971 and 72 in the United States, there were five bombings a day in the United States.
00:03:36.000 Groups ranging from the Black Panthers to the Symbionese Liberation Army, from the FALN to the Weather Underground engaged in violent terrorism literally daily.
00:03:45.000 The actual prediction for the United States is, why not both?
00:03:47.000 The radicals will continue to be admitted to the halls of power on the one hand.
00:03:51.000 They'll increasingly engage in violence on the other.
00:03:53.000 Humored by the Democratic Party, as we'll talk about in a moment.
00:03:56.000 Propped up by a media, as we'll talk about in a moment.
00:03:59.000 These terrible college students, people who believe truly evil things, will likely get more and more revolutionary.
00:04:04.000 And a subset of them will not stop at building takeovers.
00:04:08.000 All it takes is somebody to break the glass first.
00:04:10.000 So what exactly is going to break the glass?
00:04:12.000 What's going to move these people from taking over campus buildings into, say, bombings, for example?
00:04:17.000 Well, it could be as simple as something like Donald Trump winning the 2024 election.
00:04:21.000 Remember, while the student protesters were rioting in 1968, it actually took Richard Nixon's election to push those protesters underground and then into overt acts of routine terrorism.
00:04:31.000 Given that the entire left in the United States has now deemed Donald Trump a fascist threat to the United States, would it be super shocking if the same students now barricading administration buildings on behalf of actual terrorist groups like Hamas, if they decide to ratchet up their quote-unquote intifada to the next level?
00:04:47.000 That would not be shocking at all.
00:04:49.000 We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:04:50.000 First, can your savings weather another economic storm?
00:04:53.000 Think about what you've put away for the future.
00:04:55.000 Inflation can render cash worthless, and real estate can, in fact, crash, as it did in 2008.
00:04:59.000 During times of economic uncertainty or market volatility, investors tend to flock to gold as a safe haven asset.
00:05:05.000 Its value tends to increase during turbulent times, providing a buffer against market downturns.
00:05:10.000 This is why people are flocking to gold right now, and why birch gold is busier than ever.

00:05:45.000 Text Ben to 989898 to get started.
00:05:46.000 Text Ben to 989898 to talk to my friends over at Birch Gold.
00:05:51.000 Okay, so let's get to what happened at Columbia University while I was out on Passover break here.
00:05:57.000 So Columbia protesters took over Hamilton Hall.
00:06:00.000 This happened a little bit earlier in the week.
00:06:02.000 According to the New York Post, a huge mob of mass pro-terror rioters broke into an academic building at Columbia University and seized it early on Tuesday, rebranding the iconic hall named after founding father Alexander Hamilton and draping it with a giant flag calling for Intifada.
00:06:16.000 Intifada, for people who are not familiar with the language that is used by terrorists, Intifada is a violent revolution.
00:06:21.000 The first Intifada in Israel took place in the late 1980s.
00:06:24.000 It was a violent uprising against the Israelis, which ended with hundreds of deaths.
00:06:29.000 The second Intifada was much more deadly.
00:06:31.000 That happened in 2000, 2001, 2002.
00:06:34.000 And that ended with thousands of Israeli deaths.
00:06:38.000 So now you have these people, again, are LARPing as actual terrorists.
00:06:44.000 Because they have to dissociate from their privilege.
00:06:45.000 So I'm not privileged.
00:06:46.000 I'm just like the terrorists.
00:06:48.000 I'm gonna cosplay as the terrorists.
00:06:50.000 As we'll see, they take this to the actual extreme of now mimicking the language that is being used by Hamas supporters in Gaza itself.
00:06:57.000 So they took over an academic building at Columbia University.
00:07:00.000 Apparently, a hammer-wielding demonstrator smashed through a glass panel door and placed what appeared to be a bike lock around the handles.
00:07:08.000 They then draped giant signs from the building.
00:07:11.000 Many of them were masking their faces like ISIS members.
00:07:15.000 Once inside, some anti-Israel protesters quickly covered up security cameras with black trash bags and tape, according to Columbia Daily Spectators.
00:07:23.000 So the escalation prompted Columbia officials to shut down the campus on Tuesday.
00:07:28.000 So, I mean, question number one, are all of these Columbia students?
00:07:30.000 No.
00:07:31.000 Many of these are professional protesters.
00:07:33.000 And actually, there's a lot of tape that was showing all of these people arriving at Columbia University.
00:07:38.000 Breitbart had tape of pro-Hamas youth flooding Penn Station to head on over to Columbia and join the party.
00:07:44.000 You can see it's queers for Palestine here.
00:07:54.000 Charging up into Penn Station to try and join the fray.
00:08:02.000 And again, it's all good times.
00:08:03.000 It's fun and games for the Hamas youth.
00:08:06.000 The university spokesperson said that this protest was led by people unaffiliated with the campus, but that's not quite true.
00:08:12.000 It turns out there were a lot of people who were quite affiliated with the campus.
00:08:16.000 Columbia professors, Columbia students were involved in all of this.
00:08:20.000 They then started cosplaying as actual members of the Gazan population.
00:08:24.000 The most obvious example of this, which is actually quite unintentionally hilarious, is there is a Columbia PhD student named Johanna King Slutsky.
00:08:33.000 I didn't name her, not my fault.
00:08:35.000 And she was demanding food be shipped in to the people who had just taken over an administration building.
00:08:45.000 Because, as she said, they need humanitarian aid.
00:08:50.000 So look at these Abercrombie-looking jackasses who are wearing designer gear as they cosplay as terrorists.
00:08:59.000 Look at the guy sitting behind her with the bear midriff over here.
00:09:03.000 This dude with the bear midriff and the keffiyeh.
00:09:04.000 That guy lasts five seconds in the Gaza Strip before Hamas murders him.
00:09:09.000 In any case, here she is saying that she's being victimized.
00:09:13.000 These people took over a building in Colombia.
00:09:15.000 They actually are going to Columbia to get a PhD from one of the most prestigious institutions in the United States.
00:09:22.000 You know what this lady, by the way, is getting her PhD in?
00:09:25.000 Let me read you her biography.
00:09:26.000 This is from the Columbia University Department of English and Comparative Literature website.
00:09:31.000 Quote, my dissertation is on fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic romantic imagination from 1760 to 1860.
00:09:38.000 My goal is to write a prehistory of metabolic rift, Marx's term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism.
00:09:48.000 I am particularly interested in theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historicist ideological critiques of the romantic imagination.
00:09:59.000 Prior to joining Columbia, I worked as a political strategist for leftist and progressive causes and remain active in the higher education labor movement.
00:10:07.000 So this is the very definition of a professional useless person.
00:10:12.000 I can think of nothing more useless than that dissertation about metabolic rift.
00:10:17.000 An energy circuit according to Marx in the pre-romantic era.
00:10:22.000 My God.
00:10:23.000 And here is this lady wearing a keffiyeh.
00:10:25.000 Again, five seconds in Gaza with her friends from Hamas.
00:10:29.000 Here she is explaining that she needs a shipment of humanitarian aid.
00:10:33.000 The Israelis are blocking the convoys.
00:10:36.000 The reason they're doing this is, again, the most privileged people in the world have to cosplay as people they believe are oppressed in order to dissociate from their own privilege.
00:10:44.000 That's what this is.
00:10:47.000 Why should the university be obligated to provide food to people who've taken over a building?
00:10:56.000 Well, first of all, we're saying that they're obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.
00:11:02.000 But you mentioned that there was a request that food and water be brought in.
00:11:06.000 To allow it to be brought in?
00:11:07.000 I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students.
00:11:14.000 Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill, even if they disagree with you?
00:11:21.000 If the answer is no, then you should allow basic... I mean, it's crazy to say because we're on an Ivy League campus, but this is like basic humanitarian aid we're asking for.
00:11:29.000 Like, could people please have a glass of water?
00:11:33.000 There's running water in all of those buildings.
00:11:36.000 There's running water in all those buildings.
00:11:37.000 Also, you're not going to starve at Columbia University.
00:11:40.000 Frankly, you look pretty well-fed.
00:11:42.000 This is a hot take here.
00:11:45.000 Everyone owes you, really, you're suffering.
00:11:47.000 Look at the great suffering from the bare midriff dude behind you in the Abercrombie outfit with the keffiyeh.
00:11:53.000 It's a parody of itself, all of this.
00:11:55.000 I mean, frankly, as a conservative, I'm rooting for these people to expose themselves, and they are.
00:12:00.000 Because America should see just how radical the agenda of the left is, and as we'll see, just how far Democrats are willing to go to pat these good little radical Trotskyites on the head.
00:12:09.000 And so these protesters did come up with some creative ways of getting food into the building.
00:12:13.000 Like, for example, I swear, I swear, if ever there were a zombie apocalypse, these people get eaten first.
00:12:19.000 Because they clearly have no life skills.
00:12:21.000 Here are some of these protesters literally loading pizza onto milk crates, which they are then bringing up to the windows via rope.
00:12:31.000 Like the Lorax.
00:12:32.000 Or something.
00:12:33.000 Here we go.
00:12:34.000 Here outside this main building at Columbia University are providing food and supplies to the protesters who have barricaded themselves inside.
00:12:44.000 In fact, you can see a pizza box right there getting ready to be hauled up.
00:12:48.000 These protesters have locked themselves inside Hamilton Hall.
00:12:53.000 This happened earlier today.
00:12:54.000 And take a look at this.
00:12:56.000 One of the protesters is actually putting a pizza box inside this crate that they've attached to a rope.
00:13:04.000 What I appreciate about the reporter's description there is it's like listening to a nature reporter discuss how a monkey is using a tool in order to get ants out of an anthill.
00:13:12.000 It's like, wow, look at that!
00:13:14.000 Using a tool to... You're literally taking a pizza box and putting it on a crate to get pizza to your friends from Uber Eats.
00:13:23.000 Because you're all idiots.
00:13:24.000 We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:13:26.000 First of all, Jeremy, Caleb, and I were building our business.
00:13:28.000 We looked for no-brainer companies to help streamline our processes.
00:13:31.000 Stamps.com does exactly that.

00:14:31.000 Now, again, it's easy to upplay the stupidity and downplay the evil, but actually these are people who believe quite evil things and have engaged in actual criminal activities here.
00:14:39.000 No one would be allowed to take over these buildings for as long as these students were allowed to take over these buildings, except that the administration appeases them, as we'll get to in just one moment.
00:14:47.000 So it took Columbia fully 24 hours to ask the NYPD to intervene.
00:14:53.000 And the NYPD then did.
00:14:54.000 The New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, he put out a call for all of the kids to clear the area.
00:14:59.000 So here was Mayor Adams suggesting that all parents should call their kids and tell them to clear- First of all, these parents are awful.
00:15:09.000 I'm just gonna point out, if you're a kid, is at one of these protests, you're a bad parent.
00:15:12.000 You're a bad parent, you did terrible job parenting.
00:15:14.000 End of story.
00:15:15.000 Here's Eric Adams.
00:15:17.000 Maybe some of the students involved don't understand what they are involved in.
00:15:23.000 We urge those and everyone else violating Columbia's order to leave the area and leave the area now.
00:15:33.000 And if you are a parent or guardian of a student, please call your child and urge them to leave the area before the situation escalates in any way.
00:15:48.000 This is for their own safety and for the safety of others.
00:15:54.000 Naturally, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who is another person who cosplays the revolution,
00:15:59.000 she put out a tweet saying, quote, if any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on
00:16:02.000 the mayor and university presidents. Other leaders in schools have found a safe de-escalatory path.
00:16:07.000 This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety, a nightmare in the making.
00:16:11.000 I urge the mayor to reverse course. So not the complete takeover of the campus,
00:16:14.000 the harassment of Jewish students, the violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
00:16:19.000 No, all of that is fine with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:16:21.000 The real problem is when you clear the criminals from the campus.
00:16:26.000 That's when you have a real problem.
00:16:27.000 Because again, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Abercrombie model for the revolution.
00:16:32.000 Well, the NYPD eventually did go in.
00:16:35.000 They went in late last night.
00:16:37.000 They cleared the entire place in a couple of hours.
00:16:39.000 About 200 police officers, some in riot gear, descended onto the Manhattan campus.
00:16:43.000 According to Politico, they arrested dozens and cleared the building the protesters occupied overnight.
00:16:48.000 Here is some of the footage of that clearing.
00:16:51.000 We're witnessing as NYPD officers in full riot gear entering Hamilton Hall on Columbia University's campus in New York City.
00:17:00.000 There are a group of about 60 people inside that building.
00:17:03.000 It's unclear if they're all students, whether they're outside groups or agitators that have installed themselves in the building.
00:17:11.000 The echoes of 1968 are undeniable, especially in this moment.
00:17:14.000 You see just an enormous Police presence, that's a crane that they're walking up to get into the building as the main entrance has been barricaded.
00:17:24.000 So first of all, if this were 1968, I promise you the police are not going in the second story window.
00:17:27.000 The police are going in the first story, and they are blowing their way in.
00:17:30.000 Okay, so the NYPD went in, there were no real injuries as far as we are aware, and then the NYPD laid out some charges.
00:17:37.000 They said that for the individuals inside Hamilton Hall, they will be charged with burglary in the third degree, criminal mischief, and trespassing.
00:17:43.000 Individuals that are on campus outside, they will be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct.
00:17:48.000 Remember, from Columbia, students who took over Hamilton Hall are now facing expulsion.
00:17:52.000 Now, facing expulsion probably means that they're readmitted to the campus almost immediately and treated as heroes, because that's the way these campuses have historically been operating, as we'll get to in just one moment.
00:18:01.000 The deputy New York Police Department commissioner, Tariq Shepard, explained on Morning Joe exactly who was inside.
00:18:07.000 What he says is a lot of these people are professional agitators.
00:18:10.000 Tell us about this chain.
00:18:12.000 Yeah, so when we entered Hamilton Hall, this is not what students bring to school, okay?
00:18:18.000 This is what professionals bring to campuses and universities.
00:18:21.000 These are heavy industrial chains that were locked with bike locks, and this is what we encountered on every door inside of Hamilton Hall.
00:18:31.000 And so in order for our emergency services group to enter into the building, they had to first cut through these chains, but also get Rid of debris and barricaded doors that were barricaded with refrigerators, vending machines, chairs, you name it, they pushed it up against those doors to try and stop us from coming in.
00:18:52.000 But our guys would not be stopped.
00:18:54.000 They did a fantastic job of entering into that location and taking people into custody without incident last night.
00:19:01.000 They took about 40 to 50 people into custody inside of the lobby of Hamilton Hall last night.
00:19:07.000 Very difficult to see how the president of Columbia University, who is yet another plagiarist in a high position, who has done no serious academic work, Minouche Shafik, hard to see exactly how she remains at Columbia.
00:19:18.000 So she recently testified in front of Congress where she admitted that people chanting full-scale anti-Semitic slogans is in fact a violation of the rules and regulations at Columbia University.
00:19:28.000 Again, if you want to get into the free speech issue, that is a different issue than the Student Code of Conduct or Title VI, both of which May, in fact, infringe on free speech concerns, but Columbia is, in fact, a private college and Title VI has been upheld by the Supreme Court for good or for ill.
00:19:41.000 In any case, she said all of that in front of Congress, and then she proceeded to allow all of this to blossom on her campus for fully two weeks, ending with the police invading a building.
00:19:52.000 Hard to see how she holds on.
00:19:54.000 Right now, everybody is doing the same thing they did with Claudine Gay over at Harvard, where they're mouthing platitudes about how she has to remain.
00:19:59.000 She's so wonderful because she's diverse.
00:20:02.000 But, in reality, is she gonna last very long?
00:20:04.000 I sort of doubt it.
00:20:05.000 But here's the thing.
00:20:06.000 What started at Columbia has not ended at Columbia, of course.
00:20:09.000 The chaos has now engulfed many campuses across the country.
00:20:13.000 Just down the street at City College, our friend Ami Horowitz went over to the encampment.
00:20:17.000 This was a couple of days ago.
00:20:18.000 This was last Friday, I believe.
00:20:20.000 And he committed the grave sin of holding an American flag.
00:20:24.000 Because what he wanted to see is whether these people, in fact, are just, quote-unquote, anti-Israel, or whether they actually just kinda hate America.
00:20:32.000 Get to more on this in just a moment first.

00:21:36.000 So Ami was not wearing any Jewish paraphernalia.
00:21:41.000 He was not wearing an Israeli flag, anything like that.
00:21:42.000 He's just holding an American flag.
00:21:44.000 They immediately jump him and try to beat the hell out of him.
00:21:47.000 What are you doing?
00:21:48.000 What are you doing?
00:21:49.000 I'm not getting off campus!
00:21:51.000 Get the f**k off of me!
00:21:52.000 Are you going to hurt me?
00:21:53.000 Are you going to attack me?
00:21:55.000 I'm not scared of s**t, man!
00:21:56.000 I'm not scared of s**t!
00:21:57.000 They steal his flag, they pull it down, and then they start pushing him around and trying to beat him up.
00:22:01.000 I'm not scared of s**t!
00:22:03.000 The police, of course, remove Ami while leaving the protesters there for another several days.
00:22:08.000 They detain Ami, again, carrying an American flag on a college campus these days, a dangerous business.
00:22:17.000 Wearing Hamas gear apparently is what gets you in good with the crew.
00:22:26.000 You can see men who are in full Muslim ritual regalia who are pushing Ami around over here.
00:22:35.000 He was punched in the face.
00:22:36.000 He was thrown downstairs.
00:22:38.000 Again, all for the great sin of carrying the American flag, which of course makes perfect sense, because over at City University of New York, the protesters had actually taken down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag, which is a good demonstration of exactly what they believed to be the priority.
00:22:54.000 The NYPD finally took back the campus last night, at which point they actually removed the Palestinian flag and replaced it with the American flag.
00:23:01.000 This is low-level cosplay Iwo Jima stuff here.
00:23:06.000 Here they are pulling down the Palestinian flag and tossing it aside.
00:23:12.000 And then raising the American flag, which, you know, again, this shouldn't have to happen in the United States of America.
00:23:19.000 This is not something that should have to happen on city funded campuses.
00:23:24.000 And meanwhile, over at University of North Carolina, again, we talk about people who believe that they are privileged, and thus, if they join the revolution, they can do whatever they want.
00:23:32.000 Some of that video involves, for example, white protesters throwing water at black police officers at the University of North Carolina.
00:23:39.000 What I can tell you is that this is a very intense escalation from how it has been for the past several hours.
00:23:44.000 There was pink-haired protesters here throwing water on black police officers.
00:23:49.000 This black police officer is just standing there and taking it.
00:23:52.000 But these are obviously delightful, diverse people, white people who believe in diversity, equity, inclusion, unless you're a black police officer.
00:23:58.000 Obviously, arrests were made at the University of North Carolina, and that protest was in fact cleared at George Washington University.
00:24:05.000 Over in Washington, DC.
00:24:07.000 Pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas protesters defaced a statue of George Washington.
00:24:11.000 They put a keffiyeh on him.
00:24:13.000 They spray-painted the base of the statue.
00:24:15.000 To say, genocidal, war-mongering university, instead of George Washington, stickers reading, end the genocide, free Palestine, and anti-fascist action were placed all over the statue of George Washington.
00:24:26.000 Again, these people hate America.
00:24:28.000 And the system they're rebelling against is not the system of Israel.
00:24:31.000 They're rebelling against America.
00:24:32.000 They're rebelling against the very system that gave them the privilege they currently enjoy.
00:24:36.000 And they are doing so.
00:24:37.000 They're spitting in the face of that system, specifically because they have never been given a purpose or a set of values by their parents or by the society around them.
00:24:45.000 This problem with our young people goes bone deep in an America that does not give young people any sense of what virtue or purpose look like.
00:24:54.000 Okay, so you can see the camera approaching.
00:24:56.000 You can see they totally defaced the statue.
00:24:58.000 They just totally defaced it.
00:24:59.000 Because George Washington is bad, guys, as you know.
00:25:02.000 Meanwhile, over at UCLA, all hell broke loose last night when the UCLA administration decided to allow a bunch of pro-Hamas protesters to literally block people from getting to class.
00:25:13.000 They blocked thoroughfares.
00:25:14.000 There was a report that they had assaulted a Jewish student and here they were blocking students from going to class.
00:25:20.000 They'd given their fellow protesters wristbands in order to allow them admission to the campus.
00:25:24.000 They could have done it the other way.
00:25:25.000 They could have just given all the Jews Jewish stars and then they could have told them they weren't allowed to cross the campus.
00:25:29.000 That would have been the other way to do it.
00:25:30.000 So here they are blocking people from going to class over at my alma mater, UCLA.
00:25:35.000 We're going this way.
00:25:37.000 You guys have closed the entrance.
00:25:38.000 We are UCLA students.
00:25:40.000 I have my ID right here.
00:25:41.000 I'm being blocked off, not by the security guard, but by you two.
00:25:45.000 You three.
00:25:46.000 Oh, look, they're making their burger while I'm going this way.
00:25:49.000 This is what they do.
00:25:50.000 Everybody, look at this.
00:25:51.000 Look at this.
00:25:52.000 I'm a UCLA student.
00:25:53.000 I deserve to go here.
00:25:54.000 We pay tuition.
00:25:55.000 This is our school.
00:25:57.000 And they're not letting me walk in.
00:25:58.000 My class is over there.
00:25:59.000 I want to use that entrance.
00:26:01.000 Well, I can't take it.
00:26:01.000 Will you let me go in?
00:26:03.000 This could be over in a second.
00:26:04.000 Just let me and my friends go in to class.
00:26:10.000 Then you can move.
00:26:11.000 Will you move?
00:26:14.000 Okay, we're going.
00:26:15.000 We're going.
00:26:17.000 I'm going in.
00:26:19.000 I don't, I have my hands up.
00:26:20.000 I'm not hurting them.
00:26:22.000 I'm not hurting them.
00:26:24.000 That's what they do.
00:26:24.000 That's what they do, everybody.
00:26:25.000 You guys are promoting aggression.
00:26:28.000 You guys are promoting hate.
00:26:31.000 Okay, by the way, if this were a bunch of white supremacist students blocking black students from going to class, it would look like 1955 Birmingham, Alabama.
00:26:39.000 This is UCLA in 2024, and there's a bunch of pro-Hamas students who are blocking Jewish students from going to class because they disagree with the pro-Hamas agenda of these particular students.
00:26:49.000 L.A.
00:26:49.000 Mayor Karen Bass, again, who is appeasing these protests, as we'll see, there's a running theme that we'll get to in a moment, is the Democrats appeasing these people, and administrations appeasing these people, because again, in order for revolutionaries to gain power, They need mainstream liberals to pat them on the head and tell them they're doing a good job.
00:27:04.000 They might be a little too passionate, but they're good people who are doing good things.
00:27:08.000 Here is the L.A.
00:27:09.000 mayor, Karen Bass, who herself is a left-wing radical, saying that both USC and UCLA are peaceful, which is weird because USC just canceled its own commencement because it was afraid of violence.
00:27:19.000 Before we let you go, I want to ask you about the scenes we're seeing, and we were just discussing at the top of our show, at both UCLA and USC, these campus protests over the war in Gaza.
00:27:28.000 How do you think the schools have handled them?
00:27:31.000 Well, I think both schools have handled them the best that they can.
00:27:35.000 But I will tell you that right now, both USC and UCLA are peaceful.
00:27:40.000 I know that the administration is talking to the protesters and trying to come to a peaceful resolution.
00:27:45.000 So I feel good that we will get there.
00:27:48.000 Okay, so, was it peaceful?
00:27:50.000 It turns out not.
00:27:50.000 Because it turns out that a bunch of people from the Jewish community in Los Angeles were tired of having their students pushed around by these protesters, so they started a counter-protest, and then last night, violence broke out.
00:28:01.000 Because this is what happens when you refuse to enforce the law.
00:28:03.000 People take the law into their own hands.
00:28:05.000 And the counter-protesters are doing nothing more illegal than the actual protesters.
00:28:10.000 It is equivalently illegal.
00:28:12.000 Here we go.
00:28:16.000 You see it turns into a bit of a brawl.
00:28:18.000 People whacking each other with sticks.
00:28:20.000 I think that's some pepper spray that's being fired over there.
00:28:32.000 This is happening at America, in America, at college campuses.
00:28:36.000 Again, this is my alma mater.
00:28:37.000 I know exactly where they are.
00:28:38.000 I used to walk here every single day.
00:28:41.000 This is what happens at the college campuses you pay for.
00:28:43.000 By the way, all these moron students, Joe Biden wants you to pay for their student loans.
00:28:48.000 So I hope that you're ready to pay for the student loans of the Marxist theory professor candidate at Columbia University who says that she's being denied humanitarian aid because they won't allow her Uber eats in.
00:28:59.000 I hope that all these moron protesters who are physically assaulting Jewish students, I hope that you're ready to pay for their student loans.
00:29:04.000 We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:29:06.000 First, everybody thinks that mortgage rates are very, very high.
00:29:08.000 That's not totally true.
00:29:10.000 Mortgage rates are still a lot lower than, say, credit card rates of like 22%.
00:29:14.000 Think about how much interest you'll pay on that credit card if you only make the minimum payment every month.
00:29:18.000 If you're a homeowner, a cash-out refi with American Financing can help you pay off that debt and lower your monthly expenses.
00:29:24.000 The mortgage interest is tax-deductible.
00:29:25.000 American Financing saves homeowners like you an average of $854 a month.
00:29:29.000 Their salary-based mortgage consultants will show you how much you can save every month.
00:29:33.000 No upfront fees, no obligation.
00:29:35.000 Might even close in as fast as 10 days and possibly delay a couple of mortgage payments,
00:29:38.000 giving you greater savings upfront.
00:29:40.000 Don't wait another day to get the financial relief you need.
00:29:42.000 Break free from the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck.
00:29:45.000 Call American Financing at 866-721-3300.

00:30:06.000 Karen Bass is the basic problem that you have if you're on the left, which is, well,
00:30:11.000 they're negotiating with the students. They're negotiating.
00:30:13.000 They're negotiating.
00:30:16.000 Okay, here's the thing.
00:30:17.000 You should not be negotiating with people who are violating the law.
00:30:21.000 That is a stupid thing to do.
00:30:23.000 You enforce the law.
00:30:24.000 Why exactly would you negotiate with these protesters?
00:30:26.000 The answer is because you're playing an inside-outside game.
00:30:29.000 You're playing an inside-outside game in which you agree with the actual goals of the protesters, and so what you do is you allow them to do their nonsense, and then you proclaim that while you're against the most violent nonsense they're doing, you do have to negotiate to de-escalate.
00:30:43.000 De-escalation is the key.
00:30:44.000 You know what turns out is the best way to de-escalate these protests?
00:30:46.000 Arrest the people who are violating the law.
00:30:48.000 You know how I know that?
00:30:49.000 Because they've been doing it in, say, Florida, where they simply arrest people who violate the law, or Texas, where they simply arrest people who violate the law.
00:30:55.000 At these blue college campuses, what they are doing Is there playing a radical inside-outside game where the radical agitators do illegal things, and then instead of the administrators calling in the cops to clear the encampment, for example, the Hamas homeless shelters, instead of them doing, as one of my friends, a young student over at Harvard University who's currently suing the university says, these Hamas homeless shelters, these, instead of simply enforcing the law,
00:31:22.000 The administrators have decided that they are going to play footsie with the protesters because they actually agree with the protesters.
00:31:28.000 So over at Brown University, which is a repository of pretty much all pink hair dye in the nation.
00:31:33.000 Brown University, I visited all these universities over the course of years.
00:31:36.000 Brown University is by far the most left-wing college campus I have ever visited.
00:31:40.000 There are no conservatives within about a 200-mile radius of Brown University.
00:31:46.000 In any case, Brown decided that they were basically just going to cave in to the protesters.
00:31:51.000 President Christina Paxson announced Tuesday students will end their encampment after an agreement was reached between school administrators and leaders of the protest to hold an Israel divestment vote.
00:32:01.000 The school agreed to let five students meet with the Corporation of Brown University in May to argue why they should vote to divest from companies associated with Israel or the war in Gaza.
00:32:08.000 The Advisory Committee on University Resources Management will also provide recommendations related to divestment by the end of September.
00:32:14.000 The board will vote on the policy in October.
00:32:17.000 In exchange, students have agreed to take down the encampment and not violate the school's rules around protesting through the end of the academic year.
00:32:24.000 Okay, so note the timing here.
00:32:26.000 Here's what's actually going to happen.
00:32:27.000 They told them, take down the encampment, and then next year we'll allow you to have a meeting with the Corporation of Brown.
00:32:33.000 What do you think is going to happen if the Brown Corporation says, guess what?
00:32:36.000 We're not divesting from Israel because it turns out that virtually every major company has investments in Israeli technology.
00:32:42.000 You think the protesters aren't going to come back?
00:32:44.000 Of course they're going to come back.
00:32:46.000 Meanwhile, at Northwestern University, they are also caving to the protesters.
00:32:50.000 Apparently, after five days of anti-Israel demonstrations occupying Deering Meadow on Northwestern University's campus, Northwestern President Michael Schill and the rest of the university's leadership decided to accede to several of the protesters' demands.
00:33:02.000 The university released a list of concessions in a celebratory statement Monday afternoon in exchange for the removal of the encampment on the lawn.
00:33:08.000 Here's the thing, you don't have to exchange anything.
00:33:10.000 You call in the cops and you expel the students and this never happens again.
00:33:14.000 It's that simple.
00:33:14.000 Unless you, the administrators, want these students to succeed.
00:33:18.000 They believe that they are teaching them the way that things are done in the real world.
00:33:22.000 As I said at the very top of the show, there are two ways this goes for a lot of these students.
00:33:25.000 One is that they end up marginalized and some of them end up committing violence.
00:33:29.000 The other is they end up mainstreamed into institutions where they are told that if they invade the Google CEO's office, they won't be fired, they'll be catered to.
00:33:37.000 And that's what they are being taught in Northwestern University.
00:33:40.000 So Northwestern is offering full-ride scholarships to Palestinian students and guaranteed faculty jobs for Palestinian academics.
00:33:49.000 So in other words, after the worst terror attack on Jews since World War II by Palestinian terrorist groups, supported in large part by Palestinian civilians, Northwestern is now going to offer full-ride scholarships to all Palestinian students and guaranteed faculty jobs for Palestinian academics.
00:34:08.000 Un-be-lievable.
00:34:11.000 USC is meeting with protesters.

00:35:44.000 Well, meanwhile, the question here is, what is Joe Biden doing about all this?
00:35:47.000 Because here's the thing.
00:35:49.000 He could do something.
00:35:50.000 So Miguel Cardona, the Secretary of Education, he was asked in a recent House hearing, if a school refuses to comply with Title VI, Could you just remove the funding?
00:35:59.000 In other words, if you wanted to get the administration to enforce Title VI, Title VI says that you cannot be harassed or intimidated on a college campus on accounts of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and all the rest.
00:36:10.000 If you wished to enforce that, could you threaten withdrawal of student funding?
00:36:13.000 And Cardona says, sure, of course you could.
00:36:16.000 And ultimately, if a school refuses to comply with Title VI, yes, we would remove federal dollars.
00:36:23.000 Okay, but you're not doing that.
00:36:24.000 In fact, you're not even threatening to do that.
00:36:25.000 Why?
00:36:26.000 Because the Biden administration is in the same position as the original constitutional Democratic Party in Russia.
00:36:32.000 They like patting the radicals on the head.
00:36:34.000 They've been doing this since 2020 when Kamala Harris was talking about bailing out rioters in the middle of Black Lives Matter summer.
00:36:42.000 Okay, so they're still doing the same thing.
00:36:44.000 Joe Biden is terrified of alienating the so-called youth vote, despite the fact that there are low propensity voters who hate him anyway, and will likely vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein.
00:36:53.000 He is still trying to cater to these people.
00:36:56.000 Everyone knows this, by the way.
00:36:58.000 Axios itself has an entire report today titled, Joe Biden's Tough Options as Gaza Protests Unravel on College Campuses.
00:37:05.000 Why are these tough options?
00:37:06.000 In fact, they're very easy options.
00:37:07.000 Tell the administrators to clear the encampments.
00:37:11.000 It's very simple.
00:37:12.000 Instead, for Biden, the barricades and broken glass on college campuses are a brutal reminder that America has not snapped back to the normalcy he promised in his 2020 campaign.
00:37:21.000 A day after the dramatic takeover of Columbia University building, the White House is facing a year-end exam with no good answers.
00:37:26.000 One, they can have Biden forcefully and personally condemn the protesters and risk alienating the same young voters the president needs to be more energized to win in November.
00:37:34.000 B, Biden can stand in solidarity with the protesters and offend the centrists.
00:37:38.000 Or C, they can have spokespeople make calls for civil and peaceful demonstrations with no real expectation that students will pay them any heed.
00:37:44.000 The Biden administration has been taking the last option, of course, of course.
00:37:48.000 And that's why Joe Biden was saying, I don't like antisemitic rhetoric, but also people who don't understand the plight of the palace.
00:37:57.000 Joe Biden's just going to just, his entire campaign plan is stay upright and try to hide for the rest of the campaign.
00:38:03.000 It's not going to work, by the way.
00:38:04.000 He's the president.
00:38:05.000 In fact, how much is he trying to hide?
00:38:08.000 There's a story from Axios just the other day that his handlers are so afraid of him looking like a doddering old fool that they've now surrounded him with members of his entourage when he walks from the White House to the helicopter.
00:38:19.000 He doesn't look like he's stumbling out there because every time there's a shot of him alone on the White House lawn walking, it looks as though he's about to faceplant.
00:38:25.000 So now they've decided they're going to surround him with a scrum of colleagues.
00:38:28.000 Here's what that looks like.
00:38:31.000 Mr. President!
00:38:33.000 So again, this is what they've decided to do here.
00:38:36.000 Look what they do.
00:38:37.000 They try to obstruct the cameras by walking in tandem with him in order so that you can't actually see him doddering along across the lawn.
00:38:46.000 Absolutely pathetic.
00:38:46.000 But that is the Biden administration in a nutshell.
00:38:48.000 It's a doddering old man who has no actual moral view on this.
00:38:52.000 He's sympathetic to the viewpoints of many who are pro-Hamas in the ute.
00:38:56.000 And he is unwilling to simply come out against them, despite the fact that they are harassing the living hell out of his administration.
00:39:01.000 Lloyd Austin, the defense secretary, He was at a hearing yesterday, and naturally, at the Senate hearing, the protester showed up to tell him that he was supporting a genocide.
00:39:10.000 By the way, Israel is not committing a genocide.
00:39:12.000 Only morons believe Israel is committing a genocide.
00:39:14.000 You have to be completely idiotic to believe that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.
00:39:19.000 Israel's complete air superiority over the Gaza Strip.
00:39:22.000 If they wish to kill literally a million and a half people, they have the capacity to do so.
00:39:27.000 They have not done that.
00:39:27.000 They've taken more humanitarian measures than any military in the history of the world.
00:39:32.000 Literally the history of the world.
00:39:34.000 But here's Lloyd Austin being harassed by the protesters, the same protesters that Joe Biden won't just announce.
00:39:38.000 So we're grateful for our partners in Congress who help, help, help... How can you talk about U.S.
00:39:43.000 leadership when we're supporting genocide in Gaza?
00:39:48.000 The committee will come to order.
00:39:50.000 I'd like to formally request those in the audience causing disruption to cease their actions immediately.
00:39:56.000 This is like every Biden, this is every Biden appearance from now until the election, by the way.
00:40:03.000 Get ready for this convention in Chicago, because it's going to be a berserk convention over in Chicago.
00:40:10.000 By the way, again, these people are supported by high level members of the Democratic Party.
00:40:14.000 So Tommy Vietor, who believe it or not, was treated as an upper level advisor to Barack Obama.
00:40:19.000 Tommy Vietor, who started off as a guy who drove Barack Obama's van.
00:40:22.000 No kidding.
00:40:24.000 After NYPD poured into Columbia University to raid the encampment, he tweeted out, this is effing horrifying.
00:40:29.000 He said, amazing how many people in this country have internalized the idea that if you break the law, you don't just get arrested, but the police have a right to beat the bleep out of you in the process, tase you, break your bones.
00:40:38.000 Well, actually, that's not what the video shows.
00:40:40.000 What it shows is people resisting arrest, and then the police using necessary force in order to do that, in order to arrest them, to effectuate the arrest.
00:40:48.000 But Tommy Vietor is, of course, sympathetic to the pro-Hamasniks, Ben Rhodes' literal nickname in the White House.
00:40:54.000 He was the top foreign policy advisor to Barack Obama.
00:40:56.000 His literal nickname in the White House, according to multiple books, was Hamas.
00:41:01.000 Not kidding.
00:41:02.000 That was his actual nickname in the White House.
00:41:04.000 Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar, she visited the Columbia encampment to visit her daughter, who I'm sure scored 1550 on the SATs.
00:41:12.000 And she then proceeded to call the Jews pro-genocide.
00:41:16.000 This is a couple of days ago.
00:41:18.000 How do you think this will translate to the Jewish students who are facing anti-Semitism here on campus?
00:41:23.000 So I actually met a lot of Jewish students that are in the encampment and I think it is really unfortunate that people don't care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe and that we should not have to tolerate anti-Semitism or bigotry for all Jewish students whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide.
00:41:47.000 Pro-genocide or anti-genocide?
00:41:48.000 So according to her, the people who are proclaiming their Judaism, which is very convenient by the way, the as-a-Jew group, let me speak as a Jew, okay?
00:41:56.000 As a person who actually believes this stuff, who actually practices, who prays three times a day, who just took days off for Passover, let me explain.
00:42:03.000 If you are at a pro-Hamas encampment, you are not a Jew in any real sense.
00:42:07.000 You are what we would call a halakhic Jew if your mom is Jewish, but you are less Jewish than a ham sandwich.
00:42:13.000 You are not in any real sense Jewish.
00:42:15.000 And when you pull out your as a Jew card only so that you can rip on Israel and rip on other Jews and proclaim solidarity with people who want to murder Jews?
00:42:23.000 You deserve zero respect.
00:42:25.000 The only people, by the way, in this entire debate who are pro-genocide are the people who support Hamas, which is an actual openly genocidal group.
00:42:32.000 Jared Moskowitz, who's a Democratic Party member in Florida, he himself was ripping Ilhan Omar.
00:42:37.000 This is creating a real rift inside the Democratic Party because they're still sane Democrats, and they're fighting the insane Democrats, and then you have all of the wishy-washy people right in the middle.
00:42:44.000 Here's Moskowitz going after Ilhan Omar.
00:42:47.000 Listen, I have been to Colombia.
00:42:48.000 I have talked to Jewish students.
00:42:51.000 I have talked to the parents.
00:42:53.000 And while there are peaceful protesters, while we do not want to lose sight, obviously, of the plight of the people in Gaza.
00:43:00.000 It's a real war, and it's terrible what's happening to the people in Gaza.
00:43:04.000 Make no mistake about it, there is a tremendous amount of anti-semitism on what's going on on these college campuses.
00:43:10.000 We have members in this body pouring gasoline on that by saying Jews fall into two buckets, pro-genocide and anti-genocide.
00:43:19.000 I mean, I got a 10-year-old and 7-year-old Jewish children.
00:43:22.000 I don't know if they're pro-genocide or anti-genocide.
00:43:25.000 I guess I'll talk to them about that.
00:43:28.000 It's not the language I would have chosen.
00:43:31.000 It's not something I would have said.
00:43:31.000 of the Democratic Party. Then you have the people who are too issue-washing. So Pete Aguilar from
00:43:34.000 California, for example, he was asked about Ilhan Omar's comments. He said, it's not the language
00:43:38.000 I would have chosen. And they still have to pat the radicals on the head because they don't want
00:43:41.000 to alienate the radicals. It's not the language I would have chosen. It's not something I would
00:43:47.000 have said. Oh, wow. And as I mentioned previously, I think we all have an obligation to
00:43:52.000 turn the temperature down, especially when we're in those positions where people are
00:44:02.000 And when we're speaking to people who feel passionate about issues, uh, we do that in our own offices.
00:44:06.000 We do that in our districts, you know, every week, uh, every month.
00:44:11.000 Um, that's important.
00:44:12.000 Um, but it's not language I would use.
00:44:15.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:44:16.000 First, $20 will barely buy you anything these days.
00:44:19.000 Thanks, Joe Biden.
00:44:20.000 You can't even fill your gas tank for less than $20.
00:44:22.000 But do you know what $20 will get you?
00:44:23.000 Well, from the cell phone company I use, PureTalk, you can get unlimited talk, text, plenty of 5G data for just $20 a month.
00:44:29.000 PureTalk gives you the same quality of service as your current cell phone provider, but for about half the cost.

00:44:38.000 You can switch to PeerTalk and keep the phone and phone number you currently use, or you can take advantage of their great deals on the latest iPhones and Androids.
00:44:44.000 Making the switch is incredibly easy.
00:44:46.000 Their U.S.
00:44:46.000 customer service team can help you join PeerTalk in as little as 10 minutes.
00:44:50.000 Choose to spend your hard-earned money with a wireless company that shares your values, supports our military and veterans, creates American jobs, and refuses to advertise on, you know, the fake news networks.
00:44:58.000 Stop spending a ridiculous amount of money on your phone plan.
00:45:00.000 Go to puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:45:02.000 Right now, my listeners can get an additional 50% off their very first month of coverage.
00:45:07.000 That's puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:45:10.000 Again, puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:45:12.000 To get started, my listeners get 50% off their very first month.
00:45:15.000 puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:45:17.000 Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer, who is another one of these people who's patting the radicals on the head, he's a liar.
00:45:23.000 How is he a liar?
00:45:23.000 Because Chuck Schumer is a Jewish member of Congress.
00:45:25.000 He has spent his entire career making this pun about his name where he says his last name Schumer is similar to the Hebrew word Shomer, which is guardian.
00:45:33.000 So he'll go to pro-Israel rallies and he'll talk about how he's a guardian of the Jews, of Jewish people in the United States.
00:45:38.000 He's a Shomer.
00:45:40.000 The only thing that he'll say is that he's upset when people break windows.
00:45:44.000 As far as the rabid antisemitism of a huge part of the Democrat support base, there apparently he has no problem.
00:45:49.000 He's happy to get up on the floor of the Senate and call for the ouster of the sitting democratically elected government of the state of Israel.
00:45:56.000 But he has real problems condemning, you know, people who are chanting from the river to the sea or suggesting that it's time to globalize the Intifada.
00:46:03.000 He's just upset about the broken windows.
00:46:06.000 I'd like to begin today by saying a few things about the protests at Columbia University.
00:46:12.000 Smashing windows with hammers and taking over university buildings is not free speech.
00:46:18.000 It is lawlessness.
00:46:20.000 And those who did it should promptly face the consequences that are not merely a slap on the wrist.
00:46:27.000 Free speech, discussion, and even strong disagreement are fundamental American values.
00:46:33.000 And campuses should be places where those values are cherished.
00:46:37.000 Campuses cannot be places of learning and argument and discussion when protests veer into criminality.
00:46:46.000 And those who commit such acts are doing nothing to convince others that their cause is just.
00:46:53.000 Well, I mean, they've already convinced you that their cause is just, which is why you won't actually just condemn their cause, which is wrong.
00:46:59.000 That would be the big problem inside the Democratic Party.
00:47:01.000 Again, all of this is because Joe Biden simply wants to win Michigan.
00:47:04.000 He's just over, all I want to do is win Michigan.
00:47:07.000 They won't let me win Michigan.
00:47:09.000 So he's not going to condemn any of this.
00:47:11.000 He's just going to sit there and hope that time passes him by because it's worked for him in the past.
00:47:16.000 So Joe Biden, again, he is attempting to win Michigan and he believes that if he splits the baby on Gaza, on Israel, and if he is very nice to these awful protesters who believe evil things, then magically this will allow him to win Michigan.
00:47:30.000 Well, first of all, it is dramatically stupid because if you actually look at the polling data in the United States, The American people do not agree with a ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas is extirpated.
00:47:42.000 So the media keeps citing polls suggesting that Americans want a ceasefire in Gaza.
00:47:45.000 It depends which question you ask.
00:47:47.000 If you ask the question, do you favor or oppose a permanent ceasefire in Gaza?
00:47:50.000 70% say yes.
00:47:53.000 If you ask, would you favor or oppose that ceasefire if it meant Hamas was allowed to continue to hold hostages and continue to run Gaza?
00:48:00.000 68% said no.
00:48:02.000 By the way, that last question is the more accurate one.
00:48:06.000 The first one's like, would you like world peace?
00:48:08.000 Sure, I'd love world peace.
00:48:09.000 And it's like, would you like world peace if the terrorists get to run the world?
00:48:12.000 No, I don't like world peace anymore.
00:48:16.000 61% of respondents answered, a ceasefire should only happen after the release of all hostages and Hamas being removed from power.
00:48:24.000 So again, as far as whether Israel should move forward with an operation in Rafah to finish the war with Hamas, 72% say yes.
00:48:34.000 There's no such thing as a 70-30 proposition in American politics anymore.
00:48:38.000 70% of the American public is in favor of Joe Biden letting Israel finish this war in Gaza so everybody can go back to their daily lives.
00:48:44.000 So what is Joe Biden doing?
00:48:45.000 He's proposing two of the dumbest policies I have ever heard.
00:48:49.000 So policy number one, according to CBS News, the Biden administration is now considering bringing certain Palestinians to the United States as refugees, offering a permanent safe haven to some of those fleeing war-torn Gaza.
00:49:03.000 Senior officials across several federal U.S.
00:49:04.000 agencies have now discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.
00:49:15.000 Okay, no.
00:49:16.000 The answer to that is no.
00:49:17.000 No, and no, and no.
00:49:19.000 You know what Joe Biden's math here seems to be?
00:49:21.000 It seems to be that if you are from an area of the world where by every available metric you support terrorism, hate America, and hate Jews, if you then get attacked by the Israeli military because your elected government, and the government you support, and you cheered, murdered 1,200 Jews, and when Israel comes back in, then we will let you into the United States, are you insane?
00:49:42.000 Are you crazy?
00:49:44.000 That's insane.
00:49:45.000 Why would you let any of- Egypt won't let any of them in.
00:49:47.000 Jordan won't let any of them in.
00:49:49.000 Saudi won't let any of them in.
00:49:50.000 UAE won't let any of them in.
00:49:51.000 Bahrain won't let any of them in.
00:49:52.000 Lebanon won't let any of them in.
00:49:54.000 Why do you think that is?
00:49:55.000 Do they have more in common- Do you think the Palestinians in Gaza have more in common with the Palestinians in, say, Jordan?
00:50:00.000 Or with, like, a normal American family in Tabuk?
00:50:05.000 What do you think?
00:50:06.000 Just on average.
00:50:08.000 The answer, obviously, is Jordan.
00:50:10.000 Why won't they let them into Jordan?
00:50:11.000 Because they know that they are a destabilizing force.
00:50:13.000 That they are radicalized.
00:50:15.000 That they don't like the Hashemite dynasty.
00:50:16.000 That every single area where the Palestinian population has ever been a large percentage of the population, the regime has been destabilized.
00:50:23.000 From Jordan, to Lebanon, to Gaza, to the West Bank, to Cyprus.
00:50:28.000 Literally everywhere.
00:50:31.000 Like, this is nuts.
00:50:33.000 Joe Biden suggesting that the solution here is for the United States to absorb refugees from the most pro-terror region on the planet is totally nuts.
00:50:42.000 And when Joe Biden says these people are vetted, well, they're not.
00:50:44.000 By whom?
00:50:46.000 By whom are they vetted?
00:50:48.000 Using what metric are they vetted?
00:50:51.000 First of all, Hamas is a terror group.
00:50:53.000 It's not just the government.
00:50:53.000 It's a terror group.
00:50:54.000 Honeycomb throughout the society.
00:50:56.000 If there is a 20-year-old living in the Gaza Strip before October 7th, what do you think are the chances that person has had a fairly open relationship with Hamas at some time in the past?
00:51:06.000 The answer is very, very high.
00:51:08.000 Which is why the UNRWA shot through with Hamas supporters.
00:51:11.000 This is nuts.
00:51:13.000 Joe Biden suggesting the admission of these folks is crazy.
00:51:18.000 According to CBS News, those who pass a series of eligibility medical and security screenings would qualify to fly to the United States with refugee status, offering beneficiaries permanent residency, housing assistance, a path to American citizenship.
00:51:33.000 Apparently, the eligible population is expected to be relatively small.
00:51:38.000 The White House spokesperson said the United States has already helped more than 1,800 American citizens and their families leave Gaza, many of whom have come to the United States.
00:51:44.000 Okay, if they're already American citizens, that's a different thing.
00:51:47.000 We owe it to American citizens abroad, whatever their predilections or nationalities, to bring them home.
00:51:53.000 With that said, bringing home thousands of additional people who almost certainly cheered October 7th is total crazy towns.
00:52:02.000 Meanwhile, what are the other insane policies that Joe Biden is pushing in the Middle East?
00:52:06.000 So you remember that dumb humanitarian pier that the United States is now building out in the middle of the Mediterranean to get the humanitarian aid in?
00:52:12.000 And there are some of us who are asking, well, hold up a second.
00:52:15.000 So you're going to build a humanitarian aid pier, and you're going to bring ships to that pier, and then you're going to unload the cargo onto that pier, and then that aid still has to get in there to the areas that are currently run by Hamas.
00:52:25.000 How do you support doing this?
00:52:26.000 And won't that put American troops in harm's way?
00:52:29.000 So Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, was asked this by Matt Gaetz yesterday.
00:52:34.000 Is it impossible that you might end up, like, in a shooting war with Hamas?
00:52:37.000 And he's like, well, yeah, that could happen.
00:52:39.000 Miss Larkin just said there'll be about a thousand U.S.
00:52:41.000 service members operating a peer system off of Gaza.
00:52:45.000 How many of them will have guns, Mr. Secretary?
00:52:49.000 Well, typically all of the deployed service members carry guns and they have the ability to protect themselves if challenged.
00:52:56.000 So if someone from land in Gaza shoots at our service members who are on the $320 million pier that we're building, you're telling me our service members can shoot back?
00:53:09.000 They have the right to return fire to protect themselves.
00:53:13.000 Now, again- Well, do we think that's like, so now I want to move to the
00:53:15.000 likelihood that you think someone from land in Gaza might shoot at our service members on
00:53:22.000 this pier.
00:53:23.000 Do you think that that's a likely scenario?
00:53:25.000 That's possible, yes.
00:53:27.000 Okay, so he is now admitting that putting American service people directly in the line
00:53:31.000 of fire from Hamas is now the Biden administration position.
00:53:35.000 Totally crazy.
00:53:36.000 Totally insane.
00:53:38.000 You know how the humanitarian crisis in Gaza ends?
00:53:39.000 When Israel extirpates Hamas.
00:53:41.000 That's when the humanitarian crisis begins to end.
00:53:44.000 Until then, it's just gonna suck over there, for obvious reasons, because Hamas runs the place.
00:53:48.000 But Joe Biden, again, he keeps trying to play it.
00:53:50.000 He keeps trying to play both sides.
00:53:52.000 He keeps trying to... Right now, he's got Tony Blinken back in Israel, trying to cut a deal between Israel and Hamas, in which Hamas would release somewhere between 20 and 30 remaining alive hostages out of the 133 they supposedly held, most of whom I'm sure are dead.
00:54:05.000 Israel, in return, would release a thousand terrorists.
00:54:08.000 That's being brokered by the United States.
00:54:11.000 The United States, instead, should be saying to Israel, go ahead and finish this up so everybody can get back to their normal daily affairs.
00:54:19.000 But Joe Biden won't do that because, again, Joe Biden is a terrible, terrible president.
00:54:23.000 He is truly bad at this.
00:54:25.000 Okay, coming up, we are going to get into
