UNC-Chapel's Board of Trustees voted to eliminate diversity and equity goals and jobs at all of the UNC System's member institutions, including UNC Chapel Hill, in favor of public safety priorities in the wake of anti-Semitism protests on campus, and in light of the on-campus shooting of a professor by a member of the "anti-Israel" group, "The Army of Winners Society," the university is now back to a meritocratic vision of society. What does this mean for the future of our society? And what is the best way to move toward a meritocracy in order to have a successful society with a positive knock-on effect for everyone else in a society?

00:00:00.000There are two visions of Western society that are currently on the table.
00:00:03.000Vision one is where merit wins, where being good at things actually matters.
00:00:08.000And this vision of society has excellent externalities, really good positive externalities, because when you are good at things, you end up helping other people.
00:00:15.000You end up producing goods, products, and services that are useful to others.
00:00:18.000The meritocracy is the only system ever devised by man that actually creates positive effects A positive knock-on effect for everyone else in a society.
00:00:28.000Vision number two is the oversensitive army of losers society, in which merit is discarded in favor of your level of offense.
00:00:36.000And the more of a failure you are, the more you get to be offended.
00:00:39.000And the more offended you are, obviously the worse society is, because obviously if the people who are unsuccessful get to run all of the levers of society, and part of the thing they get to do is declare that their unsuccess is a facet of their victimhood, That means negative externalities for everyone because it's literally the reverse of merit.
00:00:59.000It is lack of merit that now puts you high on the totem pole when it comes to this version of society.
00:01:05.000This is the sort of conflict that is bubbling to the surface across Western civilization and here are just two quick symptoms.
00:01:10.000They're sort of fascinating because we're gonna have to choose which vision of society we wish to live in, the meritocracy or the army of losers society.
00:01:18.000So, with regard to the meritocracy, the backlash has now begun against the army of losers society.
00:01:23.000According to WRAL News, this is actually excellent news, UNC Chapel Hill's board of trustees on Monday approved the transfer of $2.3 million in diversity and inclusion spending to public safety priorities in their 2024-2025 budget.
00:01:38.000The trustees held a special meeting Monday morning.
00:01:40.000The board is scheduled to hold its regular meeting Wednesday and Thursday.
00:01:43.000The UNC System Board of Governors is expected to vote next week to eliminate diversity goals and jobs at member institutions, including UNC Chapel Hill.
00:01:52.000A Board of Governors committee last month approved a complete rewrite of the system's existing diversity, equity, and inclusion policy.
00:02:01.000They are saying, no longer are we going to craft all of our systems around the false, pernicious lie that all disparities are because of societal exploitation and discrimination.
00:02:12.000Instead, we're gonna do away with all of that, and we're gonna go straight back to a meritocracy.
00:02:15.000We're not spending taxpayer money on it.
00:02:17.000We're not spending tuition money on it.
00:02:19.000That is the way that society needs to move if you wish to have a successful meritocracy, a successful society with excellent knock-on effect and an ability to build for the future.
00:02:30.000According to one of the members of the Board of Trustees, Dave Boliak, he said, I think DEI is divisive.
00:02:37.000I don't think it gives a return on investment to taxpayers and to the institution itself.
00:02:42.000Boliak said that conversations about increased funding for public safety began after the on-campus shooting death of a professor beginning at the 2023-2024 school year, and so did these on-campus protests in support of Hamas.
00:02:55.000So they are moving all of their funding away from DEI and toward campus safety, which makes perfect sense.
00:03:01.000Obviously, the professoriate is really upset about all of this.
00:03:03.000All of these people have made their money on the back of DEI anti-meritocracy.
00:03:09.000Beth Morocco, an assistant professor in the Department of Health Behavior and chair of the faculty said, quote, frankly, I was stunned.
00:03:14.000I have heard from faculty who are very concerned, who are concerned because they see value in what we're doing to increase equity and inclusion on campus.
00:03:22.000Well, Who cares what they have to say, considering they are the beneficiaries of a system that is directly cutting against meritocracy.
00:03:28.000So that is path one for our societies.
00:03:30.000We stop this notion that freedom itself, freedom in economics, freedom in association, freedom of speech, that all of these things are tools of the powerful, designed in order to harm others, and that merit itself is somehow a bad thing.
00:03:46.000That merit itself is a demonstration of power dynamics in sort of a Foucault deconstructionist way.
00:05:12.000Except that the way that you educate your children matters an awful lot.
00:05:16.000The way that you deal with things like children's entertainment matter an awful lot because obviously kids are incredibly impressionable.
00:05:22.000Their brains are incredibly malleable and plastic.
00:05:24.000And when you teach them that Tinkerbell cannot be allowed in public view because Tinkerbell is some sort of exploitative vision of women, well you're creating a society of victims.
00:05:36.000The predicate for this was something called the Stories Matter initiative over at Disney.
00:05:40.000According to the New York Times circa 2022, as Disney prepared to introduce its streaming service in 2019, it began an extensive review of its film library.
00:05:47.000As part of the initiative called Stories Matter, Disney added disclaimers to content the company determined included, quote, negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures.
00:05:55.000Examples included episodes of The Muppet Show, So, what were some of the things they decided were offensive and required a label?
00:06:02.000Ursula, the villainous sea witch from The Little Mermaid.
00:06:05.000Her dark color palette, lavender skin, and black legs could be viewed through a racial lens.
00:06:12.000The Stories That Matter team cautioned that she is a queer-coded character with mannerisms inspired in part by those of a real-life drag queen.
00:06:18.000So despite the fact that she's just a fat female octopus in the movie, obviously this is a rip on gay people and black people in some bizarre way, according to the Stories Matter team over at Disney, which meant there had to be one of those dumb labels before you watch The Little Mermaid on Disney+, saying that this movie contains offensive depictions or behavior or cultures other than our own.
00:06:38.000Tinkerbell was also marked for caution.
00:07:28.000Because, obviously, it might give bad messages to little girls.
00:07:31.000Like, perhaps, you know, being body conscious actually matters with regard to mating.
00:07:36.000Or it might give off the impression that sometimes girls get jealous over guys, which you can't have because obviously it's true.
00:07:43.000And these minor symptoms are indicative of broader cultural trends.
00:07:48.000And those broader cultural trends have impacts on politics.
00:07:52.000Because again, when you have the army of losers mentality versus the meritocracy, eventually the meritocracy is going to stand up and roar.
00:07:59.000Because it turns out that the meritocracy is responsible for the success and health of any vital society.
00:08:05.000The meritocracy is created by and benefits the lions of society, the strongest people when it comes to any merit-based activity.
00:08:15.000Those are the people who are the drivers of growth.
00:08:17.000They're the people who are responsible for the tax revenue.
00:08:21.000They're responsible for all the businesses being founded.
00:08:24.000They're responsible for success and innovation.
00:08:26.000The army of losers, by contrast, is a group of people who literally have taken themselves out of circulation because they were not meritorious enough.
00:08:34.000Joe Biden, as I've said before, has decided that he is going to focus all of his attention on the supposed army of losers.
00:08:43.000The only through line to his administration is what he said it was, equity.
00:08:49.000Equity is the lie, again, that all disparities are equivalent to discrimination.
00:08:54.000And therefore, if you can identify a group disparity in any practice across the United States, That means that some sort of exploitation or discrimination is happening that is correctable by government.
00:09:05.000Now, I don't actually know if Joe Biden believes all of that.
00:09:06.000I think that Joe Biden, as I've said before, he's basically just a pinwheel of a human being.
00:09:11.000He just moves in whatever the direction he thinks the winds are moving inside of his own party.
00:09:15.000But the direction inside the Democratic Party is toward the anti-meritocracy.
00:09:31.000Where innovation gets better because merit is rewarded.
00:09:34.000Because the incentive structure is properly aligned for growth and health.
00:09:38.000And this is why Joe Biden is collapsing in the polls.
00:09:41.000Yesterday, Harry Enten of CNN, he was analyzing a New York Times poll that we went over yesterday that shows that Joe Biden is down in pretty much every swing state, even in the one swing state where he's up, in Michigan, he's up by like one point in that New York Times-Siena College poll.
00:10:30.000It's true from immigration, to social policy, to the Middle East, to the economy.
00:10:36.000Joe Biden on the economy continues to fail.
00:10:39.000According to Axios, inflation expectations are actually picking up both in the corporate C-suite and at Americans' kitchen tables.
00:10:46.000When people expect higher inflation, it can be self-fulfilling.
00:10:49.000If this reversal of progress in inflationary psychology continues, it will make the Federal Reserve leaders warier of cutting those interest rates, which is, of course, what Joe Biden is counting on.
00:10:57.000Joe Biden is counting on economic growth to be spurred by the Federal Reserve cutting the interest rates
00:11:02.000and flooding the money into the economy again.
00:11:04.000The problem is if the inflation continues apace, they're not gonna do any of that.
00:11:09.000The New York Fed's survey of consumer expectations for April
00:11:12.000showed Americans anticipate inflation of 3.3% over the next year, up from 3% in March
00:11:43.000But the bottom line is that even if inflation were to level off even a little bit, you've had now three and a half years of massive inflation under Joe Biden.
00:11:54.000You're not going to get a deflation in which milk is suddenly cheaper at the supermarket.
00:11:59.000And that is because Joe Biden decided, again, that it was more important to him to pour money into the economy to benefit the supposed victims of the system than it was to actually guarantee the overall health of the system.
00:12:11.000He poured money into an already inflationary economy.
00:12:15.000He basically implemented modern monetary theory, which was Elizabeth Warren's bizarre and notoriously dumb idea that there is no such thing as inflation and you can endlessly pour money into an economy without any negative side effects.
00:12:32.000He's still trying to pour money into the economy in the bizarre belief that if he somehow stimulates members of his political coalition with cash, somehow that will be good for him overall politically.

00:14:30.000Meanwhile, again, because Joe Biden subscribes to the Army of Losers philosophy, Joe Biden is now driving the biggest border crisis in American history.
00:14:38.000According to the Washington Examiner, illegal immigration that has exploded under Joe Biden has driven the biggest surge in the foreign population in America ever recorded.
00:14:46.000According to the Census Bureau, 15.6% of the U.S.
00:14:51.000A Center for Immigration Studies analysis of the new census numbers said that Biden's open border policies have fed the increase.
00:14:57.000In March 2024, the foreign-born population reached 51.6 million, that is 5.1 million more than in March 2022, the largest two-year increase recorded in American history.
00:15:07.00060% of that increase is from illegal immigration.
00:15:12.000What's even worse is that what the census data shows is that a majority of the new immigrants are not even working.
00:15:19.000Again, if you hate the meritocracy so much that you believe that the United States should just be a grab-bag of cash where all of the meritocrats produce and everyone else consumes, this is what you end up with.
00:15:31.000And that you have some sort of worldwide right to enter the United States because the United States is a nefarious, exploitative force in the world, which is what members of the far-left Bernie Sanders Socialist 46% are employed, meaning 54% are not.
00:15:42.000According to the Washington Examiner, the Center for Immigration Studies
00:15:45.000using Census Bureau numbers calculates 46% of immigrants who arrived over the past two years are employed.
00:15:52.00046% are employed, meaning 54% are not.
00:15:56.000Some immigrants say they are looking for work.
00:15:58.000Most, including the elderly, children, and caregivers, are not in the labor force.
00:16:02.000Report authors Steven Camerata and Karen Ziegler say, quote, immigration clearly adds workers to the country,
00:16:08.000but it just as clearly adds non-workers You need to be supported by the labor of others.
00:16:12.000Those who simply see immigration as a source of labor need to understand it's also a source of school children, retirees, and many other non-workers.
00:16:22.000The CIS says that if trends continue, the U.S.
00:16:24.000will top 18% foreign board by the end of the decade.
00:16:29.000Without any form of assimilation and without any economic plans to integrate these people while increasing, presumably, all of the benefits that people are receiving from the federal government.
00:16:39.000Meanwhile, non-profits are making billions of dollars off the border crisis.
00:16:45.000According to the Free Press, Barry Weiss's publication, a brand new report suggests that NGOs are making literally billions of dollars off of illegal immigration at this point.
00:16:58.000The Free Press examined three of the most prominent non-governmental organizations that benefited Global Refuge, Southwest Key Programs, and Endeavors, Inc.
00:17:05.000These organizations have seen their combined revenue grow from $597 million in 2019 to an
00:17:10.000astonishing $2 billion by 2022. The CEOs of all three nonprofits make more than half a million
00:17:18.000The chief executive of Southwest Key makes more than a million dollars.
00:17:21.000So what exactly are the services being offered by these NGOs?
00:17:25.000Endeavors uses taxpayer funds to offer migrant children pet therapy, horticulture therapy, and music therapy.
00:17:31.000In 2021 alone, Endeavors paid Christy Merrill, a music therapist, $533,000.
00:17:47.000Joe Biden, when it comes to social policy, he has decided that the federal government is simply going to ignore all of the data that is now coming out about not only the non-effect, but the reverse effect of transgender surgeries and hormone treatments.
00:18:03.000All this is now coming out in Britain to such an extent that it's basically been banned for people under the age of 18.
00:18:08.000And yet Joe Biden is still fighting tooth and nail to ensure that kids can be mutilated.
00:18:13.000According to the New York Times, after 30 years as one of England's top pediatricians, Dr. Hilary Kass was hoping to begin her retirement by learning to play the saxophone.
00:18:21.000Instead, she took on a project that would throw her into international fire, reviewing England's treatment guidelines for the rapidly rising number of children with gender distress known as dysphoria.
00:18:31.000The National Health Service asked Dr. Kass to independently evaluate how the agency should proceed.
00:18:36.000Over the next four years, Dr. Kass commissioned systematic reviews of scientific studies on youth gender treatments and international guidelines of care.
00:18:43.000She met with young patients and their families, transgender adults, people who had detransitioned, advocacy groups, and clinicians.
00:18:48.000Her final report, published last month, concluded the evidence supporting the use of puberty-blocking drugs and other hormonal medications in adolescents was, quote, remarkably weak.
00:18:57.000On her recommendation, the National Health Service in Britain will no longer prescribe puberty blockers outside of clinical trials.
00:19:03.000Dr. Cass' findings are in line with several European countries that have limited the treatments after scientific reviews.
00:19:08.000But in America, medical groups have endorsed the treatments as evidence-based and necessary.
00:19:12.000The American Academy of Pediatrics, which is a left-wing front group, declined to comment on Dr. Cass' specific findings and condemned the state bans.
00:19:21.000The federal government for its part continues to take its lead from radical gender activists in this space.
00:19:29.000All of whom are rebelling against prevailing traditional notions of gender and sexuality in the United States.
00:19:36.000This is the coalition that Joe Biden has chosen and it turns out it's a shrinking coalition because it is at odds with the reality that most Americans live and experience and want.
00:19:45.000Most Americans are still fairly traditional in their lifestyles and their choices.
00:19:49.000Most Americans still wish to be part of traditional families.
00:19:51.000Most Americans still wish to be part of traditional church communities.
00:19:55.000Most Americans want a level of economic stability.
00:19:57.000They're not looking for revolution from above, from people like Joe Biden, a befuddled old man who has no clear concepts on how economics even works.
00:20:05.000He's never run a popsicle stand and made all of his money selling influence via his family.
00:20:10.000Most Americans don't like this, which is why Joe Biden is sinking in the polls.
00:20:14.000And of course, the most obvious example of Joe Biden's absolute confusion when it comes to foreign policy remains the war in Gaza.
00:20:22.000So, yesterday, the UN admitted that they'd been lying about casualty figures.
00:20:26.000They'd been taking Hamas's casualty figures for granted, and they were simply lying about it.
00:20:32.000The UN admitted that they were off by 50%, 5-0% on the original estimate of women and children who had died in the war in Gaza, bringing the totals down to about 7,800 and 5,000 respectively, which brings the total number of Palestinian fatalities down by over 11,000, which is a third of the commonly reported total.
00:20:51.000Also, the Palestinian statistical agencies lie.
00:20:54.000What they consider to be a child means under 20.
00:20:57.000What we consider to be a minor in the United States would be under 18.
00:21:00.000And by the way, if you talk to anyone who has fought a counter-terror operation in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in the Gaza Strip, in Jenin, anywhere all over the planet, a huge number of terrorists are 16, 17, even 15 or 14 years old.
00:21:14.000It's a tragedy, but terrorist groups use children as their soldiers.
00:21:20.000So when Hamas says that a child was killed, they are not identifying whether the minor was a 17-year-old pointing a machine gun at Israeli troops or whether it was a 7-year-old who is sheltering in some sort of building underneath which there is a Hamas bunker.
00:21:35.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:21:36.000First, do you owe back taxes or you still have those unfiled returns?
00:21:39.000Well, that is a bad idea because the IRS is becoming more determined than ever to come after you.
00:21:44.000The IRS's chief data and analytics officer revealed they're focused on an enforcement project with an average return on investment of about $6 for every $1 they spend.
00:21:52.000They're targeting individuals and businesses that currently owe back taxes or haven't filed their returns first.
00:21:56.000Tax Network USA, the nation's leading tax relief firm, they know the tax code they're going to fight for you.

00:22:40.000As Seth Mandel points out a commentary magazine, it is possible, perhaps even likely, that the Israeli Defense Force has achieved a civilian to combatant casualty ratio of around 1.5 to 1, an unheard of level of precision in civilian protection in urban warfare.
00:22:54.000So where are the other 11,000 casualties?
00:22:55.000According to Hamas, they were based on media reporting.
00:22:59.000So they didn't actually like look at the corpses.
00:23:04.000And again, there have been people who've been looking at the statistical tabulations Hamas is doing, and they say they're clearly falsified.
00:23:09.000They're rising in arithmetic ways that do not mirror reality.
00:23:14.000As Mandel points out, the Biden administration and the UN were both well aware of Hamas' method of fabrication, which means President Biden has been knowingly using false numbers to crucify Israel in the court of public opinion and to justify withholding weapons from our allies during wartime.
00:23:25.000Again, do you understand how insane that is?
00:23:28.000That Israel, if these statistics are correct, the new statistics provided by the UN, that Israel's ratio of terrorists to non-terrorists killed is 1.5 to 1 in an urban war in which Hamas is deliberately hiding in civilian populated areas?
00:24:34.000Numbers get adjusted many times over the course of a conflict.
00:24:37.000Once a conflict is done, we'll have the most accurate figures.
00:24:40.000But we're just going with what we can absolutely confirm, which will always be the low end of what the numbers are.
00:24:47.000So in other words, you were reporting stuff that you had not confirmed this entire time and lying about it.
00:24:52.000And you can clearly see this person has no sources on the ground.
00:24:55.000The sources on the ground are Hamas, and they were all taking it for granted, including the Biden administration, who's going out and using Hamas statistics in order to lie about an ally in a time of war.
00:25:04.000I also love that the UN is allowed to use fog of war as an excuse for completely botching the stats and using Hamas stats.
00:25:10.000Israel, however, cannot use fog of war in the actual fog of war.
00:25:15.000Like in the actual middle of a battle in which Hamas is hiding among civilians.
00:25:19.000If a civilian gets killed, Israel can't say that's the fog of war.
00:25:34.000But again, this is undergirded by the fact that the Biden administration is bought into the army of losers mentality, which is that the real suffering that is happening in Gaza is not the result of Palestinians who are radicalized by generations of lies about Jews, a wildly anti-Semitic population by every available polling metric in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, A wildly anti-Israel genocidal population that supports October 7th.
00:25:56.000That doesn't mean they're all terrorists.
00:25:58.000It doesn't mean that they all ought to be killed or that they all ought to be physically harmed or anything like that.
00:26:03.000But you have to actually know the population that you're talking about when you are talking about how to deal with issues like terrorism.
00:26:10.000The Biden administration, however, has been attempting to suggest that it's Israel's less than stellar treatment of Palestinians in Gaza that has led to all of this, which is just a lie.
00:26:21.000Joe Biden has completely changed his language here, by the way.
00:26:26.000Right after October 7th, Joe Biden was saying that he was totally in tune with Israel's attempts to take out Hamas.
00:26:32.000Which makes sense, because you have to take out the terrorist group that just murdered 1,200 citizens and took 250 hostages.
00:26:38.000They're still holding Americans hostage.
00:26:40.000I'll keep saying that until the cows come home.
00:26:42.000Joe Biden cares more about Britney Greiner being held by the Russian government for a drug crime.
00:26:47.000He traded a literal drug lord and guns runner for Britney Greiner, a WNBA star who is dumb enough to travel to Russia with drugs in her suitcase.
00:26:55.000He cares more about that than he does about Americans who are being held hostage and are wounded being held hostage by an actual honest-to-God terror group for whom he is currently doing PR.
00:27:04.000But here is Joe Biden flashback to fall 2023.
00:27:06.000Do you believe that Hamas must be eliminated entirely?
00:27:28.000Well, you might want to replace that person, would you?
00:27:30.000Well, here in the United States, we have to do that with elections.
00:27:33.000But if you are in charge of a company and you have a worker who does this, get rid of them with ZipRecruiter.
00:27:37.000ZipRecruiter finds qualified candidates fast, right now.
00:27:39.000You can try it for free at ziprecruiter.com slash dailywire.
00:27:42.000Once you review ZipRecruiter's list of the most qualified candidates for your job, you can easily invite your top choices to apply to encourage them to apply sooner.
00:27:49.000Amp up that hiring performance with ZipRecruiter.
00:28:03.000ZipRecruiter is indeed the smartest way to hire.
00:28:05.000We've been using ZipRecruiter here at the DailyWire for years, not only to replace the employees who need to go, but also to get great new employees.
00:28:35.000And then you're going to have to engage, as the United States did in Iraq for years, or Afghanistan for years, or as the British did in Malaya for years, in a counter-insurgency.
00:29:15.000They seem to believe that if Israel leaves and has no eyes on target ever, that is somehow better for the Palestinians and better for the Israelis.
00:29:24.000That leads to... Again, this is all nonsense.
00:29:26.000I don't... Either they're the stupidest people who have ever walked the earth over at the State Department, or they don't actually believe this stuff.
00:29:31.000They just don't care whether Israel's citizens are endangered.
00:29:34.000So long as they get to continue with their befuddled view of the Middle East, in which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is somehow central to all conflict in the region.
00:29:44.000There are a lot of people in the State Department who are very regretful that Israel was ever created in the first place.
00:29:48.000Here's Tony Blinken, trying to articulate what is, in fact, Catch-22.
00:29:53.000He says, if Israel stays, there will be a counter-insurgency.
00:29:55.000If Israel leaves, Hamas will take over.
00:31:35.000Again, if you think that Israel would not gladly hand over the Gaza Strip to any of the surrounding peace partners that it has in the region, of course Israel would.
00:31:45.000By the way, Israel has known this for literally decades.
00:31:47.000In 1967, during the Six-Day War, there was an open debate inside Israel over whether they should even attempt to take the Gaza Strip.
00:31:56.000The only reason they did is because Egypt forced their hand.
00:31:58.000They wanted to leave it in the hands of Egypt in 1967.
00:32:00.000It was pushed for by Moshe Dayan, who was the chief general in Israel's army at the time.
00:32:08.000And again, there's no one to pick up the pieces here because no one wants control of a population that is this radicalized.
00:32:15.000The UAE, for example, which is one of the Abraham Accord partners, they lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday after the Israeli leader said the Gulf state could be involved in aiding a future government in Gaza after the war.
00:32:27.000Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan rebuked Netanyahu in an early morning post on X saying Abu Dhabi denounced the Israeli leader comments.
00:32:34.000The UAE stresses the Israeli Prime Minister does not have any legal capacity to take this step.
00:32:38.000The UAE refuses to be drawn into any plan aimed at providing cover for the Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip.
00:32:45.000He said the UAE would be prepared to support a Palestinian government that met the hopes and aspirations of the Palestinian people.
00:32:51.000But of course, that's not going to arise.
00:32:53.000So what he's really mad about is that the Israelis are saying, please help us, and they're like, we're not gonna help the Israelis.
00:32:57.000Not only that, you think, well, you want control of these people?
00:33:00.000The Palestinian Authority, the widely touted Palestinian Authority, a corrupt oligarchy that has been robbing people blind for literally decades.
00:33:10.000That oligarchy refused control over the Rafah Crossing.
00:33:13.000According to a Palestinian official, Israel said to the Palestinian Authority, in consonance with the Americans, would the PA like to run the Rafah Crossing?
00:34:01.000My favorite fool of the day is Shadi Hamid, who's a columnist and editorial board member
00:34:05.000for the exorable Washington Post, where he claims that Israel and the United States are
00:34:11.000suppressing democracy in the Middle East because obviously democracy is the answer.
00:34:15.000The only problem with that, of course, is that the last time they tried democracy in the region, they had an Arab uprising, the so-called Arab Spring, that resulted in the Muslim Brotherhood running Egypt, Hamas running the Gaza Strip, and friendly kingdoms being threatened by takeovers of terrorist governments.
00:34:34.000This notion that democracy is a cure-all, that voting precedes rights, is absolutely asinine.
00:34:38.000It doesn't follow the history of political development in literally any country.
00:34:42.000Democracy never precedes rights, ever.
00:34:46.000Democracy is, in fact, the last domino to topple when it comes to the establishment of things like property rights.
00:34:53.000Historically, that was true in countries that founded democracy, like, for example, Great Britain.
00:34:57.000The Magna Carta was a deal between the oligarchs and the king.
00:35:01.000It took centuries before Parliament had actual power in Britain.
00:35:07.000This bizarre notion that you can transplant institutions of democracy into soil that is filled with people who love terrorism is totally crazy.
00:35:15.000And yet that's what Shadi Khamid is saying.
00:35:18.000He says, the promise of authoritarian stability is false.
00:35:20.000Authoritarian regimes only seem stable until they're not.
00:35:50.000Hamas was promptly elected, and then they promptly established a fascist state in the middle of the Gaza Strip, which is still overwhelmingly popular by polling data with the Palestinians.
00:36:03.000That is not a soluble problem, which means that when you ask Israel for something that does not exist, you are siding with the terrorists who do exist.
00:36:11.000All right, coming up, we'll get into the most bizarre aspects of Joe Biden's plan for the Middle East.
00:38:42.000Meanwhile, again, the Biden administration trying to buy this back a little bit because this whole switch in time on Gaza has not helped them in the polls.
00:38:50.000In fact, it continues to sink Joe Biden in the polls.
00:38:52.000It turns out that most Americans don't like Hamas very much.
00:38:54.000And actually, most Americans, by the polling data, are pretty good with Israel.
00:38:57.000They kind of like allies, particularly Democratic allies fighting terrorist countries that literally just murdered 1,200 people and took five Americans, among others, hostage.
00:39:06.000So now they're trying to back off of this a little bit.
00:39:08.000So, Karine Jean-Pierre's like, don't worry guys, we're just pausing one shipment.
00:39:11.000Sure, we made a big show of it, but we're only pausing one shipment.
00:39:14.000Now again, remember, all of this could be done privately.
00:39:17.000Let's say that the Biden administration even was very unhappy with Rafa.
00:39:20.000How do you think that got to the press?
00:39:22.000That got to the press because members of the Biden administration, including top members like Jake Sullivan, undoubtedly leaked all of this information to their friends at the New York Times and the Washington Post and the AP, hoping desperately to get cover from the pro-Hamas voters in Dearborn, Michigan.
00:39:36.000Usually, when you have a disagreement with an ally, it stays behind closed doors.
00:39:39.000When we have a disagreement with Britain, it stays behind closed doors.
00:39:42.000Disagreement with France tends to stay behind closed doors.
00:39:44.000When it comes to Israel, they wanted public pressure, and more than anything, they really wanted to virtue signal to a bunch of people who really don't like the West very much, but might vote for the Democratic Party.
00:39:54.000That blew back on them, and so now, they're trying to, well, it's just one shipment that we're talking, just one shipment.
00:41:37.000And we know that with each passing day, the risk to those hostages also goes up, which only redoubles our commitment to try to get to a ceasefire and hostage deal as rapidly as possible.
00:41:46.000But unfortunately, I'm not in a position to give you fidelity on those numbers because nobody entirely has it.
00:41:52.000We have our And yet you are putting pressure on Israel in the negotiations.
00:41:55.000driven by intelligence, so I have to be cautious in sharing them.
00:41:59.000But to look you in the eye and say, we know exactly how many are alive, nobody can do
00:42:16.000Biden and team have been calling for the ouster of Netanyahu and equating him with an actual terror leader.
00:42:20.000Here is Netanyahu saying, you know, these perceived tensions with the United States, those are not helping free the hostages, which of course is true.
00:42:27.000Pressure brings hostage releases, not concessions to terrorists.
00:42:32.000I worry about this perception about a breach between the United States and Israel.
00:42:36.000Well, that perception certainly doesn't help the hostage It certainly doesn't help stabilize the Middle East.
00:42:43.000It gives a sucker to Iran and its henchmen.
00:42:46.000But it means that we have to apply the pressure even more.
00:42:48.000If the equation has several elements to it, then increase the military pressure.
00:43:45.000If Trump wins, history will not remember Biden kindly.
00:43:47.000The number of supposedly intelligent people who think, well, polls systematically underestimate Democrats now, when Trump substantially over-performed his polls in 2016 and 2020 to a much greater degree than Dems did in 2020, not even a presidential year, is mind-blowing to me.
00:44:00.000That is absolutely correct, but this goes to the absolute blindness of Democrats.
00:44:04.000They've created such a strong echo chamber for themselves that even in spite of the polling data, they're going to continue to believe that they're going to win.
00:44:11.000We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:44:12.000First, when we started The Daily Wire, me, Jeremy, Calum, the biggest question mark was HR.
00:44:16.000Because we were focused on creating content and handling marketing and all the rest of this stuff, we didn't have the time to handle day-to-day HR tasks.
00:44:22.000Well, if that sounds like you, you need to talk to my friends over at Bambi.
00:44:25.000With Bambi, you're not just getting an HR manager, you're getting a dedicated partner who's available by phone, email, and real-time chat.
00:44:31.000They'll handle crucial tasks like employee onboarding, terminations, and performance reviews.
00:44:34.000With Bambi's HR Autopilot feature, you can streamline essential HR practices like employee training and feedback procedures, freeing up your time for what really matters to your business.
00:44:43.000All of Bambi's HR managers are based in the United States and can support the nuances across all 50 states.
00:44:48.000HR managers can easily cost $80,000 annually.
00:45:24.000Speaking of Joe Biden's blindness here, according to Axios today, Biden doesn't believe his bad poll numbers, neither do many of his closest advisors, according to people familiar with the matter.
00:45:32.000By the way, when you start denying poll numbers, you're in serious trouble.
00:45:35.000There were poll numbers showing Obama beating Romney, and a lot of us who were hoping that Obama would lose kept skewing the polls and un-skewing the polls.
00:45:43.000Well, no, I mean, look, no one's showing up to the Obama rallies.
00:45:48.000But the polls said what the polls said, and the polls weren't wrong.
00:45:51.000Well, poll denial is not an actual strategy, but that's what Joe Biden is engaging in right now.
00:45:56.000According to Axios, the dismissiveness of the poor polling is sincere, not public spin.
00:46:00.000That bedrock belief has informed Biden's largely steady-as-she-goes campaign, even as many Democrats outside the White House are agitating for the campaign to change direction.
00:46:09.000Biden told donors, quote, while the press doesn't write about its momentum is clearly in our favor,
00:46:12.000but the polls moving toward us and away from Trump. He says the polling data has been wrong all along.
00:46:18.000Okay, if you are, if you are spending your days denying the polling numbers,
00:46:49.000In her new book, Say More, she claims that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for soldiers killed during the U.S.
00:47:19.000There are two separate photos of Biden looking at his watch twice, ten minutes apart.
00:47:25.000So now she's saying that she's going to change the book and they're going to change the account.
00:47:32.000According to Axios, Psaki's account is part of a larger pattern of Biden officials trying to recast the administration's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal.
00:47:39.000Last year, when a reporter asked White House spokesperson John Kirby about the chaotic process of evacuation, Kirby defended the work of U.S.
00:47:44.000officials on the ground and said, quote, for all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it.
00:47:50.000The reason that the Democrats believe they can get away with this is because for literally decades, the mainstream media have covered for them on all this stuff.
00:47:56.000The presence of the Internet means they can no longer get away with it.
00:48:00.000But in that echo chamber, in that echo chamber bubble, that is now hardened into a nuclear silo of misinformation for Democrats, in which they believe that polls no longer matter, in which they believe that dissent from outside sources is all misinformation.
00:48:14.000That's wrong, and they're going to pay the price at the polling places on election day for all of that.
00:48:19.000Join me on the line is Tyler Fisher, actor, stand-up comedian, and viral content creator.
00:48:23.000Of course, you know him from a bunch of Daily Wire projects, including Terror on the Prairie and, of course, Lady Ballers.
00:48:27.000Well, now, he's the voice of Carpanzi in our brand-new animated series, Mr. Bertram Tyler.
00:48:33.000Thanks for having me on the show, Ben.
00:48:35.000I was, uh, just, I left the protests, protesting, uh, the violent, uh, anti-, you know, com-, the, the comedy in the show.
00:48:45.000We're, we're, we're doing a protest down here in Austin, Texas.
00:48:49.000Well, I mean, I hate to take you away from your chosen profession of protesting shows that you're already on, but why don't you tell me about Mr. Bertram and the character that you play on it?
00:48:59.000Sure, well, yeah, I play Adam's enemy, I would say.
00:49:03.000And Carpanzi has really been hired to scan the halls of the school, scan the books, and everything that's being taught to make sure it is not fun, that it's equal, and it's equitable, and all of those things that are not possible without a woke, tyrannical, annoying Man bun wearing d-bag.
00:49:32.000So tell me how you actually worked with everybody else in the series.
00:49:34.000I know that for Megyn Kelly, for example, she was in kind of a separate place and they would have her read the line separately and they cut it all together.
00:50:10.000Unfortunately, mine came out and that's what you see on screen.
00:50:15.000I mean, it's the method acting that really makes you a master of your craft.
00:50:18.000So let's talk about how you get into character to do stuff like this.
00:50:23.000Was there any prep for this or you just kind of came in and read your lines?
00:50:28.000The prep was living in Brooklyn, New York for 15 years.
00:50:31.000I mean, this guy is sort of a combination of every woman I've dated, every, you know, comedian who says you can't make jokes about anything except, you know, whatever the current conflict is.
00:50:46.000So I am realizing that was the gift of suffering through that.
00:50:51.000Going on a date and someone says, I have no gender, or I have 40 genders, and just going, oh, OK.
00:51:28.000No, I mean, I never outwardly said I had a political party, but nowadays it's no secret, you talk about it all the time, everybody does, that the left has gone so far left that even a moderate appears right wing.
00:51:41.000So to even be mildly moderate now means you're a far, far right terrorist in New York City.
00:52:10.000It's given me incredible artistic freedom.
00:52:12.000I tour doing stand-up around the country, soon around the world.
00:52:17.000And lo and behold, in Portland, Oregon, and every little woke town, there's still hundreds, if not thousands, of people that are dying to see comedy done how I would say it was done 15, 20 years ago.
