The Ben Shapiro Show - DNC NIGHT #1: Joe Biden’s Big Funeral Send-Off!

00:00:00.000 Well, listen, I know you didn't stay up to watch Joe Biden last night.

00:00:03.000 Joe Biden didn't stay up to watch Joe Biden last night, but you know who did?

00:00:06.000 ElectionWire Live, every night during the DNC, 7.45 p.m.

00:00:10.000 Central Time.

00:00:11.000 Tonight, they'll be joined by Carolyn Downey and Stephen L. Miller to analyze all the goings-on at the Democratic National Convention.

00:00:16.000 So, last night was Joe Biden's funeral, and it had to be awkward for him.

00:00:21.000 Many people have had the fantasy over the course of their lifetime that they would be present and sort of alive observing their own funeral.

00:00:27.000 They would get to see all the orations about what a wonderful person they were.

00:00:30.000 Very few people get to actually give their own eulogy at their own funeral.

00:00:35.000 And Joe Biden did that last night. 0.99

00:00:37.000 The overriding feeling that you get from watching the DNC is these people are so pathetically fake. 0.99

00:00:44.000 It is so fake. 0.98

00:00:46.000 So, last night was supposed to be a unifying tribute night to Joe Biden as they shuffle him off his moral coil.

00:00:52.000 And in fact, Joe Biden showed up to give a speech, and then they literally put him on a plane and they shoved him off.

00:00:57.000 They said, get the hell out of here, and they sent him to California.

00:00:59.000 Now remember, that guy is still the president until January.

00:01:03.000 So I have no idea who's running the country.

00:01:04.000 You have no idea who's running the country.

00:01:06.000 Apparently, it simply doesn't matter who's running the country at this point.

00:01:09.000 But the idea was that he was going to speak in prime time.

00:01:12.000 They were going to give him his gold watch.

00:01:14.000 They were going to give him a big round of applause for his wondrous leadership.

00:01:18.000 After having stabbed his candidacy to death and left it bleeding out on the floor, they were going to talk about what a wonderful president he had been.

00:01:25.000 It would be a night of warm feelings and hot, flowing tears.

00:01:29.000 And it would just be an emotional, resonant, incredible night when he, quote unquote, passed the torch.

00:01:36.000 And what it actually was, what it actually was, was the sad spectacle of an old man being shoved off a cliff and being forced to celebrate as he himself was shoved off the cliff.

00:01:45.000 It's like the main character in Darkness at Noon sitting there in the cell after having confessed to his crimes on behalf of the Communist Party.

00:01:51.000 That is basically what happened to Joe Biden last night.

00:01:53.000 He had to embrace the party at last and feel the joy.

00:01:56.000 And then they packed him off into an icebox and they shipped him off by train to California where he is on vacation again.

00:02:03.000 But it is, again, that feeling of fakery that pervades this entire enterprise.

00:02:07.000 Understand, the American people are unhappy with the direction of the country right now.

00:02:10.000 There's not a single poll in America that shows fewer than two-thirds of Americans thinking America is moving in the wrong direction.

00:02:17.000 Democrats are in charge of the government.

00:02:18.000 They are in charge of the White House.

00:02:20.000 They are in charge of the Senate.

00:02:21.000 So if you believe that the country is moving in the wrong direction, and two-thirds of you do, Maybe you might want to consider why that is.

00:02:29.000 And so when you have a country that is very unhappy about the economy, very unhappy about our foreign policy, very unhappy about the elitism of the critical race theory Democrats, the intersectional Democrats, the people who tell you a boy can be a girl and vice versa, and simultaneously tell you that if you speak differently, you ought to be ousted from public life. 0.95

00:02:49.000 If you're feeling bad about any of that stuff, does it work that they are slapping a Kamala Harris happy face sticker On this bag of crap that is their policy proposals? 0.88

00:02:58.000 Does that make you feel any better? 0.97

00:03:00.000 The entire thing is phony.

00:03:02.000 The entire thing is fake.

00:03:04.000 From Soup to Nuts last night, it was all phony, it was all fake, up to and including Joe Biden's speech at the very end.

00:03:11.000 The entire celebration was supposed to culminate in Joe Biden giving a warm speech about Kamala Harris and about how he was a heroic figure since Sinatis retiring to his farm, George Washington giving up command, and all of the rest of this.

00:03:25.000 And instead, they shoved him off beyond prime time.

00:03:29.000 You understand?

00:03:30.000 He started speaking last night at 11.30 p.m.

00:03:36.000 11.30 p.m.

00:03:36.000 he started speaking last night.

00:03:38.000 It was really, really, really late.

00:03:42.000 He spoke for 48 minutes beginning at 11.30 p.m.

00:03:46.000 And that's in the battleground states, right?

00:03:48.000 That's in Michigan, that's in Pennsylvania, that's in Georgia.

00:03:51.000 All those states are on Eastern time.

00:03:53.000 So, it was a fitting culmination.

00:03:55.000 The Democrats tried to pretend that it was about Joe Biden, and it really wasn't.

00:03:58.000 It was about shoving Joe Biden off the cliff as fast as possible.

00:04:01.000 It's not me saying that, that's Politico, which is a left-wing organization, saying

00:04:05.000 that, quote, as the Democratic National Convention program rolled on and on and on last night,

00:04:09.000 we got a text midway through from a veteran Democrat who'd been involved in many previous

00:04:13.000 conventions.

00:04:14.000 I think these guys have a big scheduling problem, this person told us, noting that at the rate

00:04:17.000 things were going, President Biden would not address the crowd until well after 11 p.m.

00:04:21.000 Eastern.

00:04:22.000 Do they realize the universe runs on East Coast time?

00:04:24.000 The answer is, they absolutely do.

00:04:28.000 It felt a little too on the nose, said Huffington Post's Igor Bobik, with an unpopular president first forced out of office by party bosses.

00:04:34.000 He wasn't forced out of office.

00:04:36.000 He was forced out of the nomination.

00:04:37.000 If they'd forced him out of office, that might've made some sense. 0.82

00:04:39.000 He's a terrible president.

00:04:40.000 They kept him in office. 0.98

00:04:42.000 They kept his moldering corpse in the White House, in the Oval Office.

00:04:45.000 They could wheel him around, Weekend at Bernie style, into meetings, and they could manipulate his face hole into making sound, and then roll him back into his coffin every so often, all the way until January.

00:04:57.000 But, they forced him out of his nomination, and then forced him to deliver his big self-eulogy, his big, I-give-it-up-for-the-party speech, after primetime, when everyone was already asleep.

00:05:11.000 That, of course, is exactly right.

00:05:19.000 That is exactly right.

00:05:21.000 And we'll get to Joe Biden's speech, which was, in fact, a complete debacle.

00:05:25.000 It was a debacle.

00:05:25.000 It was him battling the teleprompter.

00:05:27.000 It was him telling lie after lie.

00:05:29.000 It was the worst of Joe Biden, which is the reason they got rid of him.

00:05:32.000 Now understand, it doesn't matter what the face of the clock says at the Democratic Party.

00:05:36.000 It just matters what the machinery, the workings of the clock are.

00:05:40.000 They switched out the face of the clock for a different face of the clock.

00:05:43.000 It is the same exact machinery underneath.

00:05:45.000 Joe Biden was always a machine politician.

00:05:47.000 Kamala Harris is a machine politician. 1.00

00:05:49.000 You can swap out the face.

00:05:51.000 It's the same exact machine.

00:05:51.000 Doesn't matter.

00:05:52.000 But you're supposed to feel the fakery.

00:05:54.000 So the question is, how gullible are you?

00:05:57.000 That is the question for 2024.

00:05:59.000 Just how gullible are you?

00:06:00.000 Are you going to be taken in by all of the sloganeering about Donald Trump being a threat to democracy and how Donald Trump is such a deep and abiding and terrible figure in American public life?

00:06:11.000 That you can just keep going with these crappy policies that have wrecked America fiscally, are setting us on a path to economic ruin, have set the world on fire in terms of foreign policy, have opened the door to Russia and to China and to Iran.

00:06:23.000 Are you that gullible? 0.52

00:06:24.000 Are you gullible enough to believe what they are selling?

00:06:27.000 Because it is a sales pitch, and it is a bad sales pitch at that.

00:06:30.000 So, the question of 2024, how gullible are you?

00:06:33.000 Well, if you're not that gullible, maybe you should change your cell phone service.

00:06:36.000 There's only one cell phone company that gives you free premium access to the media you actually care about.

00:07:35.000 The sales pitch, of course, begins with fake joy.

00:07:38.000 Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy.

00:07:40.000 And it really is like Ren and Stimpy's happy, happy, joy, joy.

00:07:43.000 They've got the brain machine on you, forcing you to believe.

00:07:47.000 And there's something peculiarly sinister about people telling you that there's just joy everywhere.

00:07:53.000 It's just joy.

00:07:54.000 It's joy.

00:07:55.000 Do you feel the joy?

00:07:56.000 Feel the joy!

00:07:57.000 It is one thing to say, vote for our candidate.

00:07:59.000 Our candidate's better than the other candidate.

00:08:02.000 That's another thing to say.

00:08:02.000 There's a lot of Democratic enthusiasm for their candidate, because now they're excited that Joe Biden is out.

00:08:07.000 It is another thing entirely to pretend that Kamala Harris, one of the most scripted, manufactured, non-genuine politicians in American history, is a representative of joy, that the awful, awkward cackle that she unleashes upon being asked a difficult question, by the way, we are now on, wait for it, wait for it, day 31 of her answering zero difficult questions, day 31, a full month, in days, You know, every time she's asked a tough question, she unleashes the cackle.

00:08:34.000 We're supposed to believe that that cackle is not a cackle.

00:08:37.000 It is not an awkward laugh.

00:08:39.000 All it really is is an expression of her inner child.

00:08:43.000 She, like Peter Pan, is youth.

00:08:45.000 She is joy.

00:08:46.000 She's a little bird breaking free from the egg.

00:08:49.000 That is who Kamala Harris really is.

00:08:51.000 And she's not just joy.

00:08:53.000 You should feel the joy.

00:08:53.000 And if you don't feel the joy, it's because you're bad.

00:08:56.000 It's because you're mean. 0.89

00:08:57.000 It's because you're cruel.

00:08:58.000 Maybe a little...

00:09:01.000 That's why you don't feel the joy.

00:09:02.000 Do you feel the joy yet?

00:09:03.000 Do you feel it?

00:09:06.000 That is the Democratic Party platform at this point.

00:09:08.000 Here is Joy Reid, certainly one of the least joyous people in American public life, suggesting that she just, she's in the convention room and she feels the joy.

00:09:18.000 Nicole Wallace has this smile plastered on as though she fell into the toxic waste vat that the Joker fell into. 1.00

00:09:25.000 And here are these two representatives of sheer, unadulterated joy talking about the joy that is Kamala Harris.

00:09:34.000 I'm going to sum up what I have felt since we landed, Nicole, in this wonderful, beautiful city.

00:09:41.000 Exuberance.

00:09:42.000 Joy.

00:09:43.000 I have not, and we were just talking about this a little while ago, I have not seen so many Democrats laugh, smile, sing.

00:09:53.000 I mean, there is a song in the air.

00:09:56.000 You can hear me behind me, but there's like a little bit of music playing.

00:09:58.000 People are literally dancing to the tunes in their own head.

00:10:01.000 I think Democrats today, They feel a kind of joy and a kind of relief that I personally have not seen in, what, like eight years?

00:10:13.000 Oh my God, so much, so much joy.

00:10:16.000 Insane levels of joy.

00:10:17.000 Do you feel the joy? 1.00

00:10:19.000 F*** you if you don't. 1.00

00:10:20.000 Feel the joy right now. 1.00

00:10:22.000 Love it.

00:10:23.000 Live it.

00:10:24.000 Be the joy, God!

00:10:27.000 Feel the joy.

00:10:28.000 You feel it?

00:10:28.000 Feel it.

00:10:29.000 Feel the joy.

00:10:30.000 Feel it.

00:10:30.000 Feel the joy!

00:10:31.000 It's joyous!

00:10:32.000 You feel it?

00:10:33.000 This is their campaign.

00:10:35.000 Now, it feels a little fake.

00:10:37.000 Feels a little forced.

00:10:38.000 It's not just Joy Reid.

00:10:39.000 Of course, it's Kamala Harris, who trotted out on night one. 1.00

00:10:41.000 It's kind of unusual.

00:10:42.000 She showed up at the very beginning of the convention to get a big round of applause after having won zero primary votes ever, after having taken her boss and shoved him out a third-story window like Vladimir Putin.

00:10:52.000 Here she was showing up to talk about how she sees the beauty of the nation.

00:10:57.000 Oh my, wow.

00:10:59.000 Do you feel it?

00:10:59.000 Do you feel the joy?

00:11:01.000 Do you feel the joy?

00:11:02.000 Because she can slogan it up a little more. 0.83

00:11:03.000 She can give you some more pap if you'd like.

00:11:05.000 Here we go.

00:11:08.000 I see the beauty of our great nation.

00:11:12.000 People from every corner of our country, every walk of life are here, united by our shared vision for the future of our country.

00:11:24.000 And this November, we will come together and declare with one voice, as one people, we are moving forward.

00:11:33.000 We are moving forward, not back.

00:11:37.000 Honestly, there are many irritating slogans in American politics. 1.00

00:11:41.000 We are moving forward is really stupid. 1.00

00:11:44.000 It's really irritating. 0.99

00:11:46.000 How precisely would you move back?

00:11:48.000 Do you have a time machine?

00:11:48.000 How?

00:11:50.000 How?

00:11:51.000 Forward to the future.

00:11:52.000 It's Kodos and Kang now.

00:11:53.000 We will go forward into the future, spiraling upward, never downward. 1.00

00:11:59.000 If you buy this, you are stupid. 1.00

00:12:02.000 I'm not saying if you vote for Kamala Harris, you're stupid. 1.00

00:12:04.000 Maybe you have reasons of your own. 1.00

00:12:05.000 If you buy this crap, if you pretend it's about the joy and the moving of the forward and all of this kind of stuff, it's because you're a rube! 1.00

00:12:13.000 You're a sucker! 1.00

00:12:14.000 And they are playing you like a fiddle! 1.00

00:12:16.000 Question, how stupid do you have to be to not see through all this? 1.00

00:12:19.000 Also, you have to be kind of dumb to not diversify. 1.00

00:12:21.000 Between the stock market's mood swings and unemployment numbers that make you want to pull your hair out, we are on some kind of weird financial roller coaster here. 0.96

00:12:28.000 And then there's the national debt.

00:12:29.000 Well, how can you protect your hard-earned money from this economic circus?

00:12:32.000 I've been telling you about Masterworks for years now.

00:12:34.000 Now, you might be saying, Ben, are you seriously talking about art investing?

00:12:38.000 That is the thing I am doing.

00:12:38.000 I am.

00:12:39.000 Here is why.

00:12:40.000 Blue-chip contemporary art has had almost zero correlation with the stock market for the last 28 years.

00:12:44.000 While it's experiencing a slowdown at the moment, long-term, the price depreciation has actually outpaced the S&P.

00:12:50.000 I know, kind of shocking, right?

00:12:51.000 Look, I've been talking about Masterworks for years because they keep delivering results.

00:12:54.000 They've had 23 successful exits with over $60 million in net proceeds going back to investors.

00:12:59.000 You don't need to be a beret-wearing, espresso-sipping art connoisseur to get in on this.

00:13:01.000 You don't even need to invest millions of dollars.

00:13:03.000 Thousands of my listeners have already jumped on board.

00:13:05.000 So, here's what you should do.

00:13:07.000 Go to masterworks.com slash ben.

00:13:09.000 That's masterworks.com slash ben.

00:13:12.000 Or just scan that QR code on your screen if you're watching.

00:13:14.000 Past results are not indicative of future performance and do not include unsold works.

00:13:17.000 All investing involves risks.

00:13:18.000 I'm not an investor with Masterworks.

00:13:20.000 See important regulation aid disclosures at masterworks.com slash cd. 0.98

00:13:24.000 How dumb do you have to be not to be able to see through this? 0.98

00:13:27.000 Truly. 1.00

00:13:28.000 It's astonishing if you can't see through this kind of stuff. 0.90

00:13:31.000 Meanwhile, you have Tim Walz, who is... Man, Tim Walz is a phony.

00:13:35.000 My goodness. 0.87

00:13:37.000 Him, he knows he's on camera.

00:13:38.000 So he's bouncing around out there like he's taking a bunch of crystal meth or something.

00:13:42.000 He's bouncing around.

00:13:43.000 He's so excited to be there, Tim Walz.

00:13:45.000 He's like a squirrel out there.

00:13:47.000 Just looking around.

00:13:50.000 Watch this.

00:13:51.000 Oh my God, these people.

00:13:52.000 These people.

00:13:53.000 I can't.

00:13:54.000 Oh, where are we looking?

00:13:55.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:13:55.000 Gotta look back the other way.

00:13:56.000 Oh, where are we looking?

00:13:57.000 Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on.

00:13:58.000 Oh, look, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:13:58.000 Gotta look back there.

00:14:03.000 Oh my gosh, can't see, can't see.

00:14:06.000 I don't understand, is he a four-year-old child and there's a six-foot person in front of him?

00:14:10.000 Like he's literally only vice presidential box.

00:14:12.000 Woo, woo, woo. 0.99

00:14:13.000 And then his crazy, his crazy smile at every available opportunity.

00:14:19.000 It's a little much, guys, it's a little much.

00:14:23.000 Meanwhile, we did get some details about Kamala Harris.

00:14:27.000 So, for example, we got Eleni Konalakis, who you've never heard of.

00:14:31.000 She's the California lieutenant governor. 1.00

00:14:33.000 That's the reason you've never heard of her.

00:14:34.000 Talking about how she is so friendly with Kamala Harris, and Kamala Harris is.

00:14:38.000 She is the embodiment of joy.

00:14:40.000 In fact, she will even call you on her birthday and sing to you because she's just got the song in her heart.

00:14:49.000 Oh, that sounds awful!

00:14:50.000 That sounds perfectly awful!

00:14:51.000 By the way, who calls other people on their own birthday to sing to them?

00:14:56.000 Is that a thing you do?

00:14:57.000 Seems weird.

00:14:58.000 Oh, that sounds awful.

00:15:00.000 That sounds perfectly awful.

00:15:02.000 By the way, who calls other people on their own birthday to sing to them?

00:15:06.000 Is that a thing you do?

00:15:08.000 Seems weird. No, I might call you on your birthday to sing to you.

00:15:12.000 But would I call you on my birthday to sing?

00:15:16.000 Imagine picking up that phone and you're like, it's Kamala.

00:15:19.000 Happy birthday to me.

00:15:26.000 Feel the joy, feel the joy.

00:15:28.000 And if there is one representative of joy in the history of American politics, you know who it is.

00:15:33.000 It's Hillary Clinton.

00:15:34.000 Oh, yes.

00:15:35.000 She is here with the joy.

00:15:37.000 A lady for whom smiling looks as painful as the rack. 0.99

00:15:41.000 Here she was at the DNC last night.

00:15:43.000 She says, something is happening in America.

00:15:48.000 Something, something is happening in America.

00:15:52.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:15:54.000 What is it?

00:15:55.000 You can feel it.

00:15:57.000 Something we've worked for and dreamed of for a long time.

00:16:04.000 Oh my gosh, you're feeling it. 0.99

00:16:05.000 By the way, it's gotta suck to be Hillary Clinton, right? 0.99

00:16:07.000 You lost to Donald Trump, and now you're having your first woman president title, possibly stolen by Kamala Harris, whose accomplishments, number zero. 1.00

00:16:15.000 That's gotta be a little sad if you're Hillary Clinton, but don't worry, she's gonna force the joy, because the joy will be enjoyed! 1.00

00:16:22.000 Enjoy the joy!

00:16:24.000 Here's Hillary, telling you about all the joy she feels in the cockles of her tiny heart. 0.99

00:16:30.000 Progress is possible but not guaranteed.

00:16:35.000 We have to fight for it and never ever give up.

00:16:39.000 There is always a choice.

00:16:42.000 Do we push forward or pull back?

00:16:44.000 Come together as we the people or split into us versus them?

00:16:50.000 Yeah, she's not oppositional.

00:16:51.000 That's the choice we face in this election.

00:16:55.000 Joy and unity and joy and unity and then the mask slips and then they say what they actually think which is this is all about how much they hate Donald Trump. 0.99

00:17:03.000 And how much they kind of hate the American people because the American people are a bunch of rubes, suckers, bitter clingers. 0.98

00:17:07.000 This is what they've thought since the days of Barack Obama long before. 0.99

00:17:10.000 The days of a democratic party that gave a crap about blue-collar workers long over. 0.67

00:17:14.000 The days of a democratic party that thought hey maybe people who go to church are generally good people. 0.60

00:17:18.000 Those are long over.

00:17:19.000 This is the day of the raptor Democratic Party.

00:17:22.000 This is the day of the elitist Democratic Party that cares only about a cadre of elite people

00:17:29.000 and their dependents.

00:17:30.000 This is what the Democratic Party has become.

00:17:32.000 They are bitter, they're angry.

00:17:33.000 It has nothing to do with joy and everything to do with revenge on Donald Trump,

00:17:37.000 particularly here is Hillary letting it slip. 1.00

00:17:39.000 Here's the mask slipping.

00:17:40.000 She was speaking, of course, and the crowd started chanting, lock him up.

00:17:45.000 Now, typically, Hillary and other Democrats have made a show of pretending 1.00

00:17:49.000 that they actually don't want Donald Trump locked up, despite the fact that they have now activated

00:17:52.000 every weapon of the justice system against Donald Trump repeatedly.

00:17:55.000 Here she was nodding along as they shouted, lock him up.

00:18:00.000 He made his own kind of history.

00:18:02.000 the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions.

00:18:09.000 As Vice President Kamala sat in the Situation Room.

00:18:24.000 in Rome.

00:18:24.000 Thank you.

00:18:25.000 You you

00:18:29.000 There she's nodding along to lock him up, which is what they really want in the end, isn't it? 0.98

00:18:32.000 They don't give a crap about the country or its direction. 0.97

00:18:36.000 They want their revenge. 0.99

00:18:37.000 They can taste it.

00:18:38.000 It's so sweet.

00:18:39.000 Raphael Warnock, the senator from Georgia who is only a senator because Donald Trump idiotically suggested that voters in Georgia not actually go and vote in a Senate race in 2021, thus making Raphael Warnock a senator rather than, say, Kelly Loeffler or David Perdue. 0.91

00:18:54.000 In any case, Raphael Warnock, He made clear what he wants, which is Donald Trump is a plague on the American Republic. 0.72

00:19:01.000 Remember, Donald Trump was nearly shot in the head like six weeks ago by people who believe this kind of stuff.

00:19:08.000 Here's Raphael Warnock heating up at that temperature.

00:19:11.000 Donald Trump's America is the America of January 6th.

00:19:17.000 People who have no vision traffic in division.

00:19:23.000 He does not know how to lead us and so he wants to divide us.

00:19:28.000 America, make no mistake, Donald Trump is a plague on the American conscience.

00:19:44.000 He is a clear and present threat to the precious covenant we share with one another.

00:19:54.000 That's what they actually care about.

00:19:55.000 And by the way, the DNC is not hiding the ball.

00:19:57.000 They ran a full ad on how Donald Trump was guilty of crimes.

00:20:00.000 And Kamala Harris, well, she's a prosecutor. 1.00

00:20:02.000 Instead of, hey, the system of justice, the wheels turn slow, but they grind finally.

00:20:07.000 Instead of any of that, it's Kamala Harris is going to personally prosecute Donald Trump and put him in jail. 1.00

00:20:12.000 This is what they're here for.

00:20:13.000 This is what they want.

00:20:17.000 In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups.

00:20:22.000 The police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.

00:20:28.000 This is the story of Donald Trump.

00:20:32.000 His entire life, Trump has believed he's above the law.

00:20:35.000 That no one would ever dare hold him accountable.

00:20:38.000 He lies.

00:20:39.000 He rips off workers. 1.00

00:20:40.000 He sexually abuses women. 0.99

00:20:42.000 Hey, when you're a star, they let you do it. 0.99

00:20:44.000 You can do anything.

00:20:45.000 He cheats in business. 0.98

00:20:47.000 He cheated on his wife with a porn star. 0.95

00:20:50.000 I mean, Doug Emhoff cheated with an auntie, so there's that.

00:20:51.000 The American people wouldn't find out during an election.

00:20:55.000 This ran at the DNC rally.

00:20:56.000 In the criminal justice system, ordinary Americans have had the courage to find him accountable,

00:21:01.000 time and time again.

00:21:03.000 Guilty.

00:21:06.000 Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts.

00:21:08.000 For the first time in history, we have a convicted felon running for president.

00:21:13.000 And to take on this case, we need a president who has spent her life prosecuting perpetrators 0.96

00:21:19.000 like Donald Trump.

00:21:20.000 I mean, it's crazy!

00:21:21.000 ...or returning Georgia's free and fair election.

00:21:24.000 Okay, let me stop it there.

00:21:26.000 This is what the campaign's about, right?

00:21:27.000 It's not about the joy.

00:21:28.000 It's about the revenge!

00:21:29.000 That's what they want.

00:21:30.000 They cannot deal with the fact that Donald Trump was ever president.

00:21:32.000 He cannot be president again.

00:21:33.000 And they want revenge.

00:21:35.000 Well, folks, it is not about joy.

00:21:36.000 It's about revenge for these people.

00:21:38.000 And as we'll discuss a little bit later, I mean, honestly, you kind of hope that Joe Biden has a life insurance policy, which you should have a life insurance policy.

00:21:45.000 PolicyGenius helps you get the life insurance you need fast so you can get on with your life, you know, before they ship you out to California.

00:22:37.000 That's policygenius.com slash Shapiro.

00:22:39.000 Again, policygenius.com slash Shapiro to get started.

00:22:42.000 So, fake joy is what they're proposing.

00:22:44.000 What they actually want is bloody-minded revenge.

00:22:47.000 Okay, that's one piece of the fake puzzle.

00:22:49.000 Then you have their fake populism.

00:22:51.000 So, the Democrats are still trying to pretend that they are the party of the blue-collar worker.

00:22:54.000 Sure, they are facilitating mass illegal immigration, which undercuts the wage base.

00:22:58.000 Sure, they're pressing forward with a unionization scheme that actually harms the little guy.

00:23:03.000 Sure, they're pressing forward with a set of tax and spend policies that bankrupt the economy and lead to 40-year highs in inflation.

00:23:08.000 But they are populists.

00:23:11.000 And if you listen to them, they are the most populist populists who ever populist.

00:23:14.000 They care about the American people.

00:23:16.000 Here, for example, is fake populist Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who is a socialist who drove some 20,000 jobs out of New York by targeting Amazon. 1.00

00:23:25.000 But who has spent her entire career bopping around Brooklyn doing Instagram photos and demonstrating how much she cares about the working people by living in one of the nicer apartments in Washington, D.C.

00:23:37.000 and accomplishing zero things.

00:23:39.000 I see a leader who understands.

00:23:43.000 I see a leader with a real commitment to a better future for working families.

00:23:48.000 It's time to get into rhythm here. Here we go.

00:23:50.000 She's going to start bopping in a second. 1.00

00:23:51.000 At Chicago, we have to help her win.

00:23:55.000 Because we know that Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar

00:24:01.000 if it meant lining his own pockets and greeting the palms of his Wall Street friends.

00:24:07.000 Oh yeah!

00:24:08.000 Can you feel it?

00:24:09.000 Okay, so, I mean, really?

00:24:13.000 Some people were very into this, by the way.

00:24:14.000 Some people were like, wow, what an orator.

00:24:16.000 What an orator.

00:24:17.000 Yeah, like a third grade, I'll give you free candy at recess.

00:24:23.000 Election.

00:24:24.000 What an order.

00:24:25.000 Come on.

00:24:25.000 Boppin' around.

00:24:26.000 Listen.

00:24:28.000 We're such a country of children if we take this seriously.

00:24:29.000 But apparently there are a lot of children out there.

00:24:31.000 The crowd started chanting AOC because the future of the Democratic Party is, in fact, anti-Semitic socialism.

00:24:37.000 Thank you, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for your vision.

00:24:42.000 Elsie! 0.98

00:24:48.000 AOC! 0.96

00:24:52.000 Well, uh, then we are screwed beyond all measure. 0.59

00:24:57.000 Thank you. 1.00

00:24:59.000 What a ridiculous party and what a ridiculous human being. 0.99

00:25:01.000 By the way, sad news for AOC that a couple of her compatriots lost in primaries because it turns out many Americans do not actually like this agenda. 0.99

00:25:08.000 She will never win a statewide primary in New York because she's too radical, but the Democratic Party base, they love her. 1.00

00:25:14.000 Is she a populist, AOC?

00:25:14.000 They love her.

00:25:16.000 Is she really?

00:25:17.000 How about Dick Durbin, Senator from Illinois?

00:25:18.000 Is he a populist?

00:25:19.000 He says that Donald Trump won't have a pay raise for you because of his tax cuts.

00:25:23.000 You know where I noticed that wages have degraded radically?

00:25:26.000 Under you.

00:25:27.000 Under your administration. 1.00

00:25:29.000 Under the Biden administration and the tutelage of morons like Dick Durbin. 1.00

00:25:33.000 Want a pay raise? 1.00

00:25:35.000 Too bad, the boss just gave himself one, so there's nothing left for you.

00:25:39.000 Oh, that's some stirring oratory right there.

00:25:41.000 How about a state senator, as they trotted out for some odd reason, a state senator named Mallory McMorrow from Michigan, to bring out, she's doing now, we're now doing prop comedy.

00:25:50.000 She brought out a watermelon and smashed it like Gallagher. 1.00

00:25:52.000 Oh no, no, no, she'd bring out a giant Project 2025 book that doesn't exist in reality. 0.93

00:25:56.000 She had her staff manufacture it so she could slam it down on the podium. 0.98

00:25:59.000 Problem is, it's bigger than she is.

00:26:01.000 Hello!

00:26:16.000 I'm Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow, and this... This is Project 2025.

00:26:28.000 Oh, man.

00:26:31.000 So you got the fake populism.

00:26:34.000 These are the people of the common man.

00:26:35.000 By the way, no one represents the common man worse than Kamala Harris.

00:26:39.000 No one.

00:26:40.000 Kamala Harris is an intersectional elitist.

00:26:42.000 She grew up in Berkeley, the son of two professors.

00:26:45.000 Then she moved to Montreal for her childhood.

00:26:48.000 She has never worked a serious job one day in her life.

00:26:52.000 She hasn't.

00:26:53.000 She worked as a low-level DA, and then she immediately started sleeping with Willie Brown and elevated her way through California politics. 1.00

00:27:02.000 That is her story.

00:27:03.000 And then she was elevated to the vice presidency, obviously, by a president of the United States, or presidential candidate, who was seeking an intersectional representative as VP. 0.72

00:27:11.000 That's her story.

00:27:12.000 Literally no one has less of a common person experience than Kamala Harris, and she doesn't know about your problems.

00:27:18.000 She certainly doesn't know about my problems.

00:27:20.000 My problems involve not getting enough sleep, or would if I did not use my Helix Sleep Mattress.

00:27:24.000 Here's the thing, I'm pretty busy all day, and I can't keep up with that day if I don't get a good night's sleep, so I really appreciate that Helix Sleep Mattress.

00:27:29.000 Helix harnesses years of mattress expertise and offers a truly elevated sleep experience.

00:27:33.000 The Helix Elite Collection includes six different mattress models, each tailored for specific sleep positions and firmness preferences.

00:27:41.000 Helix has a sleep quiz that matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress.

00:27:45.000 Because why would you buy a mattress made for somebody else?

00:27:47.000 I took that Helix quiz.

00:27:48.000 I was matched with a firm but breathable mattress.

00:27:50.000 I love it.

00:27:50.000 My wife loves it.

00:27:51.000 We are big Helix fans at the Shapiro household.

00:27:53.000 Helix has a 10-year warranty.

00:27:54.000 You can try it out for 100 nights risk-free.

00:27:56.000 They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it.

00:27:58.000 But you will.

00:27:58.000 Helix's financing options and flexible payment plans make it so a great night's sleep is never far away.

00:28:03.000 For a limited time, Helix is offering up to 25% off all mattress orders plus two free pillows for our listeners.

00:28:08.000 Just head on over to helixsleep.com slash ben.

00:28:11.000 That's helixsleep.com slash ben.

00:28:13.000 It's their best offer yet.

00:28:14.000 It won't last long.

00:28:15.000 With Helix, better sleep starts right now.

00:28:17.000 Again, that's helixsleep.com slash ben.

00:28:19.000 No one represents the common man worse than Kamala Harris.

00:28:23.000 I think a lot of this is going to backlash, by the way.

00:28:24.000 I don't think it's going to work.

00:28:25.000 And everybody knows this.

00:28:27.000 The Democratic National Convention.

00:28:28.000 This is the party of the common man, right?

00:28:29.000 The common American.

00:28:30.000 Like the blue-collar American. 0.92

00:28:32.000 Well, it's weird then, because the Democratic National Convention kicked off with an introduction reminding delegates that the convention was held on land that was forcibly removed from indigenous tribes.

00:28:32.000 That's what they say.

00:28:43.000 Prairie Band Pottawatomie Nation Tribal Council Vice Chairman Zach Pamami and Tribal Council Secretary Lori Melkier took the stage at the start of the convention where they welcomed the Democratic Party to their ancestral homelands.

00:28:54.000 Here we are together on our ancestral homelands of the Prairie Band Pottawatomie Nation and our sister Pottawatomie Nations.

00:29:00.000 We also honor the spirit of other tribal nations who traveled westward to this beautiful area.

00:29:03.000 Welcome to the 2024 Democratic National Convention to our homelands.

00:29:07.000 This land has and always will carry enormous importance to its original stewards, our ancestors, and our present-day communities.

00:29:14.000 And then they talk about how people were forcibly removed from these communities.

00:29:17.000 This is all part of the settler-colonialist theory that animates the Democratic Party.

00:29:21.000 The idea being that Western civilization is strange and therefore bad, and that all the land that Americans currently live on actually belongs to the indigenous peoples from a couple of thousand years ago.

00:29:33.000 Never mind that the story of human migration is a story of population movement and tribal warfare and all the rest.

00:29:41.000 The Democratic Party starts from the premise that America was wrongly founded.

00:29:44.000 That's what the Democratic National Convention starts from.

00:29:46.000 The premise that Chicago is actually not an American city, it is stolen land from the indigenous. 0.75

00:29:53.000 Does that sound like a blue-collar pitch to you?

00:29:56.000 How about the DNC platform?

00:29:58.000 So finally, the Democrats have written a platform.

00:30:00.000 Now, it's a little awkward, a little awkward, because it turns out that the original platform they tried to release was chalk-filled with Joe Biden's name, talking about his accomplishments.

00:30:09.000 So I guess nobody had time to edit, so they just stuck it out there, and they're like, oh, whoops, we didn't mean Joe Biden, we meant Kamala Harris, because of course they had to steal the nomination from him, which is what they did.

00:30:19.000 But what exactly is in her new platform?

00:30:22.000 Here are just a few of the promises.

00:30:25.000 Healthcare should be a right in America, not a privilege.

00:30:27.000 So nationalized healthcare, they're talking about fighting to protect and expand the Affordable Care Act, but the reality is what they really want is a public option.

00:30:34.000 They want to expand traditional Medicare coverage to include dental, vision, and hearing services.

00:30:38.000 Universal preschool for four-year-olds.

00:30:40.000 Guarantee affordable, quality childcare to millions of working families for less than $10 a day per child, which is not possible without trillions of dollars in expenditures.

00:30:49.000 America's first full national paid family and medical leave program.

00:30:53.000 They want to essentially put in place universal basic income.

00:30:57.000 They wanted double funding to repair and expand active transportation and public transit.

00:31:01.000 There's tons of stuff.

00:31:02.000 Codifying national abortion protection, spending more on environmental justice and climate change.

00:31:07.000 It is all just the democratic machine.

00:31:09.000 Does any of that sound like that is in touch with the concerns of everyday Americans who can't afford groceries right now?

00:31:14.000 I didn't think so.

00:31:15.000 So, we have fake joy, which is actually about revenge. 0.99

00:31:17.000 We have fake populism, which is really about intersectional elitist crap. 0.98

00:31:21.000 And we have fake courage. 0.98

00:31:23.000 So, the fake courage was, of course, Members of the Democratic Coterie suggesting that they are really courageous for stepping out front.

00:31:31.000 Like, for example, the coach of the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr.

00:31:33.000 So Steve Kerr is brought out for some odd reason, and he says that speaking out comes with risks.

00:31:39.000 Well, as we'll discuss in a moment, he's not willing to take the actual risks of speaking out in a risky way.

00:31:45.000 If you believe that in American public life, speaking at the DNC is an actual risk, yeah, sure.

00:31:49.000 Sure, Steve.

00:31:51.000 Uh-huh.

00:31:53.000 I know very well that speaking out about politics these days comes with risks.

00:31:59.000 I can see the shut up and whistle tweets being fired off as we speak.

00:32:04.000 But I also knew as soon as I was asked that it was too important as an American citizen not to speak up in an election of this magnitude.

00:32:13.000 Wow, what a brave, courageous fellow that Steve Kerr is.

00:32:16.000 My goodness.

00:32:17.000 I mean, probably so courageous that, for example, if he was asked about Chinese human rights abuses, and say the NBA had a lot of money riding on its relationship with China, he would probably speak out, wouldn't he?

00:32:27.000 Wouldn't he?

00:32:28.000 Wouldn't he?

00:32:30.000 Obviously the big story in the league right now is Daryl Morey's tweet and everything going on with China.

00:32:34.000 Do you have any thoughts on that situation?

00:32:40.000 Actually I don't.

00:32:44.000 It's a really bizarre international story.

00:32:50.000 A lot of us don't know what to make of it.

00:32:57.000 It's something I'm reading about, just like everybody is, but I'm not going to comment further.

00:33:03.000 Now that's courage.

00:33:04.000 That's courage. 0.99

00:33:05.000 By which I mean, what a coward. 1.00

00:33:07.000 Seriously, what a coward. 1.00

00:33:08.000 And that is the story of the Democratic Party. 0.99

00:33:09.000 Look how courageous we are.

00:33:11.000 We are so courageous.

00:33:13.000 Also, we're going to run screaming from the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.

00:33:17.000 So just yesterday, Josh Shapiro, who should have been the vice presidential nominee for the Democrats, there's only one problem.

00:33:24.000 And they couldn't have that.

00:33:25.000 Ain't no Jews getting on that Democratic Party ticket.

00:33:28.000 Because after all, they got too many people who love Hamas in the Democratic Party base. 0.92

00:33:31.000 Here was Josh Shapiro being a coward and running away from that question. 0.92

00:33:34.000 No, how dare you? 0.94

00:33:35.000 Kamala Harris never said to me anything about me being a Jew.

00:33:37.000 Yeah, no bleep, Sherlock.

00:33:38.000 You think she was gonna come out and say, hey dude, you're a Jew, no way?

00:33:41.000 That's why he wasn't selected, though.

00:33:42.000 So here's Josh Shapiro doing the bidding of the Democratic Party, of course. 0.99

00:33:46.000 Coward. 0.94

00:33:47.000 Now, let me also be very clear here. 0.82

00:33:50.000 Anti-Semitism played absolutely no role in my dialogue with the Vice President.

00:33:56.000 Absolutely none.

00:33:57.000 It is also true that anti-Semitism is present in our Commonwealth, in our country, and in some areas within our party.

00:34:06.000 And we have to stand up and speak out against that.

00:34:10.000 When?

00:34:10.000 Cool!

00:34:11.000 Want to name a name?

00:34:11.000 What?

00:34:13.000 How about naming a name, Josh? 1.00

00:34:15.000 Or are you too much of a coward for that? 0.94

00:34:17.000 I can, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Kamala Harris's entire foreign policy team. 0.95

00:34:23.000 She met with the mayor of Dearborn in secret, who's a full-scale October 7th celebrator.

00:34:28.000 But, God, the cowardice, the absolute cowardice of this party.

00:34:33.000 Truthfully, the cowardice.

00:34:34.000 So the protesters were outside.

00:34:35.000 These are the people to whom the Democratic Party is kowtowing.

00:34:37.000 They were attacking law enforcement yesterday.

00:34:39.000 They showed up at the DNC, as per their predictions.

00:34:43.000 Here were some of the protesters who were attacking law enforcement outside the DNC yesterday.

00:34:47.000 We had people deploy pepper gas toward our officers, throw water on them, throw water bottles, sticks, things of that nature, and they were continuously trying to take down the fence, and our officers responded as professionally as we trained them.

00:35:00.000 Okay, and here are some of the protesters actually breaking through the gates.

00:35:03.000 I don't know, why do they need a wall?

00:35:05.000 Why can't they just have open arms for their own constituents?

00:35:08.000 Why do they need a wall?

00:35:09.000 Walls are bad!

00:35:10.000 Why though? That's terrible.

00:35:12.000 Here they are breaking through those gates while waving Palestinian flags

00:35:21.000 bags.

00:35:21.000 the world.

00:35:22.000 The wokies for Hamas over here. 0.96

00:35:29.000 To confront the police, of course.

00:35:33.000 When they were done with that, they decided to set up their latest tentafata.

00:35:37.000 So they set up like a tent city in Chicago, of course, of course. 0.63

00:35:40.000 Because why not? 0.99

00:35:41.000 They're a complete useless people to whom the Democratic Party is kowtowing. 0.99

00:35:46.000 Here they are wearing the terrorist headscarves, the keffiyehs, and the Palestinian flag, and all the rest of them at a local park. 1.00

00:35:52.000 Here are some of the anti-Israel protesters calling Jews pigs. 0.98

00:35:55.000 You know, these kind of good people, as we'll see, Joe Biden, coward extraordinaire, actually said that they have a point. 0.98

00:36:01.000 You're at the wrong event.

00:36:04.000 I just want to show you that there's, you know, pro-Zionism out there. 0.99

00:36:07.000 I don't want, you know, Tamil to think that because you guys are the loudest part of the party that you're the majority.

00:36:12.000 Oh, we're not the majority?

00:36:14.000 I hope not. 1.00

00:36:14.000 You think pig, racist Zionists are the majority? 1.00

00:36:17.000 I mean, I would think supporting one of the Jews out of Israel. 1.00

00:36:20.000 You think pig, racist Zionists are the majority? 0.99

00:36:24.000 I do not consider myself a pig or a racist. 1.00

00:36:26.000 I am a proud Zionist.

00:36:29.000 This is who the protesters are.

00:36:31.000 As we'll see, the Democratic Party kowtows to these people.

00:36:33.000 So we've got fake joy that means revenge.

00:36:35.000 We've got fake populism that actually means elitism.

00:36:37.000 And we have fake courage that actually means absolute sheer cowardice.

00:36:42.000 And this is before we get to the fake sacrifice.

00:36:44.000 So the biggest story of the night was the fake sacrifice of Joe Biden, in which they said that he was self-sacrificial, by which they mean they tied him up and threw him on a burning pyre.

00:36:54.000 We'll get to that momentarily.

00:36:55.000 First, if you've already been to Amiracist.com and purchased your tickets for opening weekend September 13th, thank you.

00:37:00.000 We're also getting messages from people saying their local theater isn't yet showing Amiracist.

00:37:04.000 Well, here's how to fix that.

00:37:05.000 Every single ticket sold right now in theaters already carrying the movie helps push it into more theaters across the country.

00:37:11.000 It's basic economics.

00:37:12.000 If they see that people want to see it, they put it in the theaters.

00:37:14.000 Matt Walsh and the same group of white guys who absolutely dismantled leftist gender theory and what is a woman are back.

00:37:19.000 This time they are taking on the weird world of DEI.

00:37:21.000 What he's uncovered is both laugh out loud funny and, of course, enraging.

00:37:24.000 The response to the movie has been phenomenal.

00:37:26.000 So far, we can't afford to slow down.

00:37:27.000 If you've got, am I racist playing in a theater near you?

00:37:31.000 Okay, so we had the fake joy that was actually revenge.

00:37:40.000 And then we had the fake populism that was actually elitism.

00:37:44.000 And then we had the fake courage that is actually cowardice.

00:37:46.000 And finally, we got to the main part of the show.

00:37:49.000 And that was the fake sacrifice.

00:37:51.000 Do you understand that Joe Biden is the most self-sacrificial man ever told the office of the presidency?

00:37:56.000 I mean, that is a man who has put his life on the line for public service.

00:38:00.000 And enriching his family for 50 years and being super duper corrupt and not wanting to leave.

00:38:04.000 And then they actually like shoved him into the back room.

00:38:06.000 They put him in the Roald Dahl Matilda Chokey in there until he basically cried uncle.

00:38:11.000 And then they said, okay, fine, we'll cath you up if you actually give up the nomination. 0.99

00:38:15.000 But it was sacrifice.

00:38:16.000 Let me tell you, it was sacrifice.

00:38:18.000 So you wonder why they got rid of Joe Biden?

00:38:20.000 Well, one reason is that Joe Biden has no idea what in the hell is going on.

00:38:23.000 Here's a live shot of Joe Biden in the convention hall last night when he first arrived.

00:38:27.000 Not great, Bob.

00:38:28.000 This is a live shot of President Joe Biden inside the convention hall.

00:38:34.000 Wow.

00:38:35.000 It must be scary to constantly see death.

00:38:38.000 To get a sense of the room, to look at the crowd as she will be seen in a much fuller capacity tonight.

00:38:44.000 Now the order of the program as she does her testing.

00:38:46.000 It's the sixth sense.

00:38:47.000 He's looking around.

00:38:48.000 You can just see the grim reaper around it.

00:38:50.000 He's like, hiding behind this person, hiding behind that person.

00:38:53.000 And Joe Biden's just like, My goodness.

00:38:58.000 And so things are going amazing.

00:38:59.000 So Kamala Harris let it off. 1.00

00:39:01.000 She said, you know, look at the sacrifice.

00:39:03.000 It's time to pay tribute to the best president in the history of the United States, who I totally shivved directly in the gut and stole his nomination.

00:39:10.000 And now I want him to leave and go to California and sleep it off on a beach until January because, man, that guy's terrible.

00:39:15.000 But he's amazing and sacrificial.

00:39:17.000 He's so amazing and so sacrificial.

00:39:18.000 I'm going to come out here and we're all going to pretend that we love this old Man, we love that guy.

00:39:23.000 We love him so much.

00:39:24.000 We love him so much. 0.99

00:39:25.000 Man, I can't wait till he dies. 0.96

00:39:26.000 I love him so much. 0.93

00:39:27.000 Here's Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:39:29.000 And I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible president Joe Biden.

00:39:35.000 Who I killed.

00:39:37.000 Who will be speaking later tonight.

00:39:42.000 Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do.

00:39:51.000 We are forever grateful to you.

00:39:54.000 All he will continue to do?

00:39:56.000 Well, the time grows short, Joe.

00:39:59.000 It's gotta feel horrible to be Joe Biden, honestly.

00:40:01.000 Like, he deserves it.

00:40:02.000 And this is my going theory of politics for the last, I don't know, 15 years, is that everyone in the end gets what they deserve.

00:40:08.000 Everyone gets what they deserve.

00:40:09.000 Hillary Clinton, she ran for 24 years trying to be President of the United States, and then she was touted, she was the person, and then she lost to Donald Trump, a first-timer.

00:40:19.000 Who she had once endorsed for running for president on the Republican side of the house.

00:40:23.000 She got exactly what she deserved.

00:40:24.000 Barack Obama, who spent eight long years believing that he was the chosen one, a messianic figure in American politics, and that no one like Donald Trump would ever be president of the United States, and then he had to hand the keys to the White House to Donald Trump.

00:40:39.000 Joe Biden, who spent his entire career only wanting to be loved, only wanting to be fetted, only wanting to be celebrated, and now they are shuffling him off and they cannot wait to get rid of him.

00:40:49.000 And he has to sit there and then he has to eulogize himself.

00:40:52.000 Honest to God.

00:40:53.000 It's kind of awful and kind of delicious at the exact same time.

00:40:55.000 So yesterday, he was hanging around the DNC and somebody said, are you ready to pass the torch?

00:41:00.000 And let's just say there were some internal struggles going on.

00:41:03.000 I am.

00:41:09.000 I am.

00:41:10.000 By I am, he means I absolutely am not.

00:41:13.000 The entire Democratic Party are in on the act.

00:41:16.000 So they're all going to pretend that he gave this up voluntarily.

00:41:18.000 That he wasn't forced to put either his brain or his signature on the piece of paper.

00:41:21.000 Which, of course, is eminently untrue.

00:41:23.000 The donors cut off all the money.

00:41:25.000 Nancy Pelosi went to him and said, we are not going to provide you any level of support in this presidential run if you continue.

00:41:30.000 Chuck Schumer said the same thing.

00:41:32.000 He was forced out.

00:41:33.000 Everyone knows he was forced out.

00:41:35.000 It is publicly reported that he was forced out.

00:41:37.000 In fact, as we'll see, Nancy Pelosi basically admitted he was forced out.

00:41:40.000 But they all are going to lie to you.

00:41:41.000 They're going to gaslight you.

00:41:42.000 They're going to fib.

00:41:44.000 Because remember, it's about the joy and the unity. 0.99

00:41:46.000 The joy and unity of killing the old man so you can replace him with a fresh face. 0.98

00:41:49.000 Here is Chuck Schumer acting as if Joe Biden gave this thing up voluntarily. 0.90

00:41:53.000 And man, this is why folks, if you believe these people, you deserve whatever comes down the road politically.

00:41:58.000 You deserve whatever comes next.

00:42:01.000 What do you hope to hear from your friend President Joe Biden tonight?

00:42:04.000 Well, what a great patriot.

00:42:06.000 What an amazing man.

00:42:07.000 He always said his number one goal was to stop Donald Trump because of Donald Trump's danger to our democracy.

00:42:16.000 And he actually, when he decided not to run, he showed what a great American he was and what an unselfish, wonderful man he is.

00:42:24.000 I've known him for 45 years.

00:42:26.000 It didn't surprise me.

00:42:27.000 It didn't surprise you?

00:42:28.000 You tried to force him out.

00:42:28.000 Are you kidding?

00:42:31.000 He was clinging to that cliff by his fingernails, and you were stomping on his hand!

00:42:34.000 You're like, oh, what a self-sacrifice.

00:42:36.000 Ugh, can you believe the level of sacrifice that it took for us to disembowel him?

00:42:42.000 And then as he was bleeding out, he gave it up, and then we're like, wow, that was an amazing sacrifice, Joe.

00:42:46.000 Here's Hillary Clinton doing the same thing last night. 0.99

00:42:50.000 He brought dignity, decency, and confidence back to the White House.

00:42:56.000 I like the past tense right there, because he's not politically alive.

00:43:01.000 And he showed what it means to be a true patriot.

00:43:07.000 Thank you, Joe Biden, for your lifetime of service and leadership.

00:43:14.000 Man, good for Joe Biden.

00:43:16.000 He committed political suicide by shooting himself in the head eight times, in the back of the head, and then stabbing himself in the back 27 times, politically speaking. 0.61

00:43:25.000 Wow, what an unselfish act of total political voluntary suicide by both shooting and hanging himself, politically.

00:43:33.000 Like really, truly amazing stuff there. 1.00

00:43:38.000 These people are such liars. 1.00

00:43:39.000 They're such liars. 1.00

00:43:40.000 They did it right in front of you. 0.99

00:43:42.000 They did it right in front of you.

00:43:43.000 This is the OJ Simpson, if I did it, of American politics.

00:43:48.000 They're there with the bloody gloves on their hands like, well, man, Nicole sure committed suicide. 0.97

00:43:52.000 It was real awkward to be there.

00:43:53.000 But let me tell you, I mean, sure, my hands were on her throat and I was like stabbing her at the time.

00:43:57.000 But let me tell you, it was crazy.

00:43:59.000 It was a crazy suicidal situation.

00:44:02.000 Okay, so finally, they trot out the Biden family.

00:44:04.000 And the Biden family has to try to make it clear that they wanted this.

00:44:09.000 They wanted- They did!

00:44:10.000 They wanted it so bad!

00:44:12.000 They really- They didn't want this. 1.00

00:44:18.000 And this is really pathetic. 1.00

00:44:20.000 It's really, really pathetic. 0.98

00:44:21.000 So Dr. Jill Biden, the actual president of the United States, she had to go out there and, you know, points for the for the Communist Party level fealty to the party. 0.94

00:44:30.000 Truly, it is an amazing thing.

00:44:33.000 As I said earlier in the week, it's 1984.

00:44:35.000 It's the very end of the book.

00:44:38.000 And finally, they have learned to love Big Brother.

00:44:40.000 They've finally come into consonance with the will of the party, and that's the important thing.

00:44:44.000 So Jill comes out. 0.91

00:44:46.000 And she endorses Kamala Harris.

00:44:47.000 Now, very few people in America hate Kamala Harris more than Joe Biden.

00:44:50.000 It's been widely reported.

00:44:51.000 Joe Biden despises Kamala Harris, actually for a good reason.

00:44:53.000 It's like the only thing I agree with Joe Biden on.

00:44:56.000 Joe Biden thinks that Kamala Harris is terrible because she had suggested that Joe Biden was a racist and that Joe Biden would have tried to stop her from going to a desegregated school when he was a kid by not endorsing forced busing and all this.

00:45:07.000 So Kamala is hated by Joe. 1.00

00:45:10.000 But Joe has to go out there and hand the baton to a person she despises. 0.67

00:45:15.000 Joe and I know Kamala. 0.89

00:45:18.000 We have seen her courage, her determination, and her leadership up close.

00:45:25.000 Kamala and Tim, you will win!

00:45:29.000 Uh-huh.

00:45:32.000 Uh-huh.

00:45:34.000 And then she says, you know, the reason why Joe stepped down is because he dug deep into his soul.

00:45:38.000 Oh, is that? 0.89

00:45:39.000 I was pretty sure that it was the knife dug deep into his innards. 0.98

00:45:42.000 Here we go.

00:45:44.000 And weeks ago, when I saw him dig deep into his soul and decide to no longer seek re-election and endorse Kamala Harris.

00:45:58.000 Wow.

00:45:59.000 That's what happened, guys.

00:46:00.000 I mean, sure, you watched it happen in real time, but it never happened.

00:46:05.000 It never happened.

00:46:06.000 Okay, so then Ashley Biden, one of Biden's kids, comes out.

00:46:10.000 At least they didn't have Hunter speak.

00:46:11.000 That would have been really weird.

00:46:13.000 But they had Ashley come out and speak and say that he's the most consequential leader ever in the history of the American Republic.

00:46:19.000 Yes, in reverse order of importance, it goes Abraham Lincoln, who held the Union together, George Washington, who founded the Union at number two, and coming in at number one is the really, really old guy who won a fluke election, proceeded to blow 40-year inflation into the economy, set the world on fire, and then be forced into retirement by his own party because he was such a terrible candidate.

00:46:39.000 So consequential.

00:46:40.000 Here is Ashley Biden. 0.84

00:46:43.000 Dad always told me that I was no better than anybody else and nobody was better than me.

00:46:50.000 He taught me that everyone deserves a fair shot and that we shouldn't leave anyone behind.

00:46:57.000 That's what you learn from a fighter who has been underestimated his entire life.

00:47:03.000 When I look at dad, I see grace, strength, and humility.

00:47:09.000 I see one of the most consequential leaders ever in history.

00:47:15.000 Ever?

00:47:16.000 It's like Winston Churchill and Joe Biden.

00:47:18.000 Listen, it could have been worse.

00:47:19.000 You could have read sections of her diary or something up there.

00:47:21.000 Okay, we're gonna get to Joe Biden's awful speech last night.

00:47:23.000 So he comes on air at 11.30 p.m.

00:47:26.000 Eastern Time.

00:47:27.000 If they could have pushed him to November 6th, they would have.

00:47:30.000 They were like, we don't want anyone seeing this guy.

00:47:32.000 We don't want him here.

00:47:33.000 We don't want him seen, which is why immediately afterward, they shoveled him back into the crypt and then took that crypt and shoved it into the belly of Air Force One and shipped him off to California.

00:47:41.000 So finally, on to Joe.

00:47:43.000 See, we're doing this, I don't know, 45, 47 minutes into this show at this point, but that's nothing because they forced Joe Biden to start speaking at 11.30 p.m.

00:47:51.000 Now, Remember, Joe Biden's daily schedule is he is shut down by 8 p.m.

00:47:57.000 So by the time they got to 1130 p.m., Joe Biden was physically dead.

00:48:01.000 They had to put him in the back room and take out the shock paddles and they had to shock him back into life.

00:48:04.000 And he went out there looking like that.

00:48:06.000 And it was not great, Bob.

00:48:08.000 It was really, really not great.

00:48:10.000 So he comes out and the crowd starts chanting, thank you, Joe.

00:48:14.000 And what they mean by thank you, Joe, is thank you so much for leaving.

00:48:17.000 Thank you so much for going away.

00:48:19.000 Here we go.

00:48:20.000 That was my daughter! 1.00

00:48:22.000 Yeah, it was.

00:48:23.000 How about your granddaughter?

00:48:24.000 You still don't acknowledge her, so... That's... that's... yeah.

00:48:33.000 Thank you, Joe, for leaving.

00:48:34.000 Thank you.

00:48:35.000 Thank you for going away.

00:48:40.000 He has never been more popular than when he, uh... Never been more popular than when he gave it up.

00:48:47.000 That was a hysterical person.

00:48:48.000 I love that.

00:48:49.000 I do love it.

00:48:50.000 I love that they're all like, Thank you, Joe, for going away!

00:48:53.000 Thank you, Joe, for going and dying somewhere!

00:48:56.000 Get out! 0.98

00:48:56.000 Not here! 0.98

00:48:58.000 It's pretty great.

00:48:59.000 Pretty great.

00:48:59.000 By the way, I'm totally gonna do that at dinner parties.

00:49:01.000 Like, if I want someone to leave, I'm just gonna walk up to them and be like, Thank you, Bob.

00:49:05.000 Like, for what?

00:49:06.000 Like, for...

00:49:10.000 Thank you, Bob.

00:49:11.000 Thank you, Bob.

00:49:11.000 Is that like show?

00:49:13.000 It's just amazing.

00:49:15.000 And it's what he so richly deserves. 1.00

00:49:17.000 What a corrupt, terrible person. 0.99

00:49:19.000 Hey, so in his speech, he suggests democracy has prevailed. 0.98

00:49:24.000 By democracy has prevailed, he means that he won every single primary vote and then he was shoved out of his nomination.

00:49:29.000 For a lady who won zero primary votes, which is how we do democracy typically, is where there's no voting, obviously. 1.00

00:49:35.000 And where you just supplant one candidate for another.

00:49:37.000 Sounds like democracy has triumphed, Joe.

00:49:40.000 And with a grateful heart, I stand before you now, on this August night, to report that democracy has prevailed!

00:49:52.000 By showing me the door!

00:49:54.000 Democracy!

00:49:55.000 Democracy has delivered!

00:49:59.000 And now democracy must be preserved!

00:50:04.000 And then he started rehashing his terrible Philadelphia speech in which he declared that half the country were traitors to the country.

00:50:09.000 Then he started bragging about his record.

00:50:12.000 And he was like, we did an amazing job, which is why you can't wait to open this trap door underneath me and feed me to the crocodiles.

00:50:20.000 I made a commitment to you that I'd be a president for all Americans.

00:50:25.000 Yeah, fail.

00:50:26.000 Whether you voted for me or not, we have done that.

00:50:32.000 Studies show The major bills we have passed actually delivered more to red states than blue.

00:50:40.000 Because the job of the president is delivered to all of America.

00:50:43.000 And because of you, and I'm not exaggerating, because of you,

00:50:53.000 we've had one of the most extraordinary four years of progress ever.

00:50:58.000 Period.

00:51:01.000 Uh, well, that's why you were going to lose to Donald Trump until they legitimately offed you.

00:51:05.000 Okay, but it wouldn't be a complete Joe Biden speech without recapitulating the Very Fine People hoax.

00:51:11.000 Okay, this has been debunked now by everyone, including Snopes, this lie that Donald Trump said back in 2017 that there were very fine people, not on both sides of the Confederate statue controversy, very fine people who are white supremacists.

00:51:24.000 Donald Trump never said that.

00:51:25.000 He condemned the neo-Nazis.

00:51:26.000 He condemned the white supremacists. 1.00

00:51:27.000 They've been running on this crap ever since. 0.99

00:51:29.000 But what's amazing about this particular speech is that Joe Biden recapitulates the Very Fine People hoax, and in almost the next breath, he then says that the neo-Nazi pro-Hamas-ers outside have a great point. 0.99

00:51:42.000 The anti-Semites, they're inside the House.

00:51:45.000 They're calling from within the Democratic Party House.

00:51:47.000 Here's Joe Biden, once again, doing the Very Fine People hoax.

00:51:52.000 I said it was asked.

00:51:54.000 He's lying.

00:51:54.000 Marr!

00:51:55.000 it happened. Donald Trump said and I quote, there are very fine people on both sides. My God.

00:52:02.000 He's lying. That is not what he said. That is what he said and what he meant.

00:52:08.000 He's a liar. 0.96

00:52:09.000 It's not true. 0.87

00:52:10.000 But you know who just said that there are very fine people on both sides?

00:52:13.000 Joe Biden.

00:52:14.000 And here he is talking about the terrorist group Hamas, and he is talking about the Israelis. 0.98

00:52:19.000 He's talking about the people who are setting up tentafatas outside the convention center and calling for Hamas and Hezbollah, actual terrorist groups, to win, and who are calling Jews pigs. 0.92

00:52:28.000 Those people have a point, says Joe Biden. 0.79

00:52:31.000 By the way, this was not in his script.

00:52:32.000 It was not in his script.

00:52:33.000 He literally went off script to say this.

00:52:36.000 A few days ago, I put forward a proposal that brought us closer to doing that than we've done since October 7th.

00:52:44.000 We're working around the clock, my Secretary of State, to prevent a wider war and reunite hostages with their families, and surge humanitarian health and food assistance into Gaza now.

00:53:00.000 To end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people, And finally, finally, finally deliver a ceasefire and end this war!

00:53:12.000 Hounding the podium end this war.

00:53:13.000 Hamas is rejecting the ceasefire.

00:53:15.000 Hamas is stealing the humanitarian aid.

00:53:17.000 But he has to please the Hamasers. 1.00

00:53:24.000 Those protesters out in the street, they have a point.

00:53:28.000 A lot of innocent people are being killed. 1.00

00:53:32.000 What a trashy human being. 1.00

00:53:34.000 Truly trashy. 1.00

00:53:35.000 At no point does he say, and the Palestinians who are being killed. 0.96

00:53:38.000 That's because Hamas launched the worst terror attack on Jews since World War II, refuses to surrender, and is currently holding babies hostage.

00:53:45.000 You want to talk about somebody who does a very fine people on both sides?

00:53:48.000 Joe Biden. 0.98

00:53:49.000 Because his party is filled with either morally corrupt human beings or cowards or both. 1.00

00:53:54.000 Truly pathetic stuff. 1.00

00:53:55.000 He spoke for 48 minutes last night. 0.99

00:53:57.000 Just kept going and going.

00:53:58.000 The ongoing battle of Joe Biden with the teleprompter, that continued.

00:54:01.000 He committed last night to strengthening illegal immigration, which is exciting. 0.99

00:54:05.000 Kamala Harris committed to strengthening illegal immigration.

00:54:09.000 I'm glad that he's ready to strengthen illegal immigration. 0.97

00:54:11.000 That's great.

00:54:13.000 So, he went on and on and on and on.

00:54:15.000 He broke after midnight.

00:54:16.000 It was quite terrible.

00:54:17.000 And then he left!

00:54:19.000 Because Democrats don't want to see him ever again.

00:54:19.000 Out.

00:54:21.000 Ever, ever again.

00:54:22.000 Now, he's still the sitting President of the United States.

00:54:24.000 That's the part that's hilarious.

00:54:25.000 Somebody should ask Kamala Harris why she thinks that Joe Biden is fit to be President of the United States. 1.00

00:54:30.000 She is the Vice President of the United States. 0.92

00:54:32.000 She could invoke the 25th Amendment at any time.

00:54:34.000 She could take over his office.

00:54:36.000 She will not do so.

00:54:37.000 Why?

00:54:38.000 Does she believe that the protesters have a very fine point?

00:54:41.000 What does she believe?

00:54:43.000 No one's ever gonna ask her that question.

00:54:44.000 We're on day 31 of nobody asking her that question.

00:54:47.000 But again, it's all lies.

00:54:48.000 Top to bottom, thoroughgoing lies.

00:54:51.000 Lies and lies and more lies. 1.00

00:54:53.000 And it was perfectly obvious to anyone who has half a brain. 0.99

00:54:56.000 The whole, he's a self-sacrificial man just leaving on his own time. 0.98

00:55:00.000 It's a lie.

00:55:01.000 It's not true.

00:55:02.000 He is not leaving because he wants to leave.

00:55:04.000 He is leaving because he was forced out.

00:55:06.000 It's a point Chris Wallace made correctly last night.

00:55:09.000 The word that everybody is using to describe tonight is bittersweet.

00:55:13.000 It's just bitter, the fact of the matter.

00:55:16.000 I'm not saying Joe Biden is bitter, but, you know, it's like you've been thrown out a window, and as you're falling, you go, gee, it's nice out here.

00:55:23.000 No, he got thrown out of a window, and basically he was forced, you know, there's going to be a lot of talk tonight about how generous it was of him, and selfless of him.

00:55:34.000 He was basically forced out by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

00:55:41.000 That is right.

00:55:42.000 Nancy Pelosi basically admitted as much last night. 0.71

00:55:44.000 She was on CNN, and she was like, well, I mean, I didn't force him out, but I kind of forced him out.

00:55:49.000 Kind of a little bit.

00:55:50.000 He's very historic.

00:55:50.000 Very, very historic.

00:55:52.000 And that's why he had to die.

00:55:55.000 I have to do what I have to do.

00:55:58.000 He made the decision for the country.

00:56:01.000 My concern was not about the president.

00:56:04.000 It was about his campaign.

00:56:06.000 She forced him out.

00:56:08.000 Oh, how sad.

00:56:10.000 Oh, how sad.

00:56:11.000 OK, so Joe Biden gets what he deserves.

00:56:12.000 He gets shoved off the stage unceremoniously.

00:56:15.000 But the bigger story is the lies.

00:56:16.000 And the lies are going to continue all this week.

00:56:19.000 They're going to continue.

00:56:20.000 all this week and for the rest of the campaign. So are you dumb enough to believe them? Or are 1.00

00:56:24.000 you going to see through the faux joy and actually take a look at what is happening in the world?

00:56:29.000 At some point, perhaps it might behoove people to think, what would a Kamala Harris presidency

00:56:35.000 look like? That seems to me the most important question in this election cycle.

00:56:40.000 All right, coming up, we'll get into a quick preview of what's happening night two of the awful DNC.

00:56:51.000 Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. 0.91

00:56:56.000 Growing up, I never thought much about race. 0.95

00:56:58.000 It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.

00:57:01.000 Am I racist?

00:57:02.000 I would really appreciate it if you... I'm trying to learn.

00:57:04.000 I'm on this journey.

00:57:05.000 If I'm gonna sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.

00:57:10.000 You say I'm racist.

00:57:14.000 Here's my certification.

00:57:15.000 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your white... There's more for you in this field. 0.98

00:57:19.000 Is America inherently racist?

00:57:21.000 The word inherent is challenging there.

00:57:23.000 You want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument?

00:57:26.000 America is racist to its bones.

00:57:28.000 So inherently? 0.98

00:57:29.000 Yeah.

00:57:29.000 This country is a piece of...

00:57:32.000 White. 0.97

00:57:32.000 Folks. 0.97
