00:02:18.000 Alrighty, so over the weekend, horrific attack massacre in Buffalo, New York.

00:02:23.000 According to the Associated Press, a white 18-year-old wearing military gear and live streaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, killing 10 people, wounding three others Saturday in what authorities described as a racially motivated violent extremism.

00:02:36.000 attack. Police said he shot 11 black and two white victims before surrendering to authorities in a rampage. He broadcast live on the streaming platform Twitch.

00:02:43.000 Later, he appeared before a judge in a paper medical gown and was arraigned on a murder charge. According to police, this was very clearly a racial attack, a racially motivated attack. This shooter, this mass shooter, we don't mention the names of mass shooters on the program, this mass shooter put out a 180 page manifesto before doing what he was doing. Here's the police explaining what exactly was going on here.

00:03:02.000 This was pure evil.

00:03:06.000 It was straight up racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community, outside of the city of good neighbors, as the mayor said, coming into our community and trying to inflict that evil upon us.

00:03:23.000 Bye. 0.91

00:03:25.000 The suspected gunman specifically went to an area that was heavily black.

00:03:30.000 That is according to his manifesto.

00:03:31.000 The gunman shot four people outside the store, three fatally, according to the Buffalo Police Commissioner, Joseph Gromaglia.

00:03:36.000 Inside the store, security guard Aaron Salter, retired Buffalo Police officer, fired multiple shots.

00:03:41.000 A bullet hit the gunman's bulletproof armor, but had no effect, according to the police chief.

00:03:44.000 The gunman then killed the guard, according to the commissioner, and stalked through the store, shooting other victims.

00:03:48.000 Police entered the store.

00:03:49.000 They confronted the gunman in the vestibule.

00:03:51.000 He put his rifle to his own neck.

00:03:52.000 Officers talked him into dropping the gun, and then he surrendered.

00:03:55.000 Okay, so naturally, this has prompted all sorts of soul-searching about what prompted this attack, what was behind this attack.

00:04:03.000 The one thing that we definitely know is that once again, the authorities fail to take dangerous people off the streets and keep them off the streets.

00:04:10.000 According to NBC News, the 18-year-old man suspected of killing 10 people and injuring three others at a Buffalo, New York supermarket on Saturday had been previously investigated for making a violent statement.

00:04:19.000 The suspect was investigated by New York State Police last year for making a threatening statement in June when he was a minor, according to a law enforcement official.

00:04:25.000 The threat was about wanting to carry out a shooting, according to a different senior law enforcement official.

00:04:30.000 Apparently, it was a school shooting.

00:04:31.000 A state police spokesman, who did not release a name to NBC News, said the subject of the investigation had been transported to the hospital for a mental health evaluation at the time and was not charged with the crime.

00:04:40.000 Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said the suspect was evaluated and released and no further complaints were made.

00:04:45.000 He said there was nothing picked up on state police intelligence, nothing picked up on FBI intelligence.

00:04:50.000 He said police are limited in how far they can take investigations and in monitoring social media saying not everything constitutes a violation of the law.

00:04:57.000 Romali has said it would be a lengthy investigation on both the federal and local levels.

00:05:02.000 So once again, this is somebody with a bevy of red flags attached to him.

00:05:07.000 And once again, the bevy of red flags did not result in somebody being taken off the streets who was about to perpetrate a horrific crime in the murder of well over 10 Americans in Buffalo, New York.

00:05:20.000 So our law enforcement officials, they've not been given either the statutory power to take people off the streets who are dangerous to themselves or others for any protracted period of time, or they don't have the wherewithal to do so.

00:05:31.000 But once again, most Americans are going to look at this and they are going to say, how is our system continuing to fail us?

00:05:36.000 How many red flags have to go off for how many red shooters before we start to say that law enforcement needs to be given further tools and further resources to do its job?

00:05:43.000 Because that's really the only solution to this.

00:05:45.000 Naturally, the left immediately swiveled from focus on red flags and mental health issues, and they focused immediately into the idea that because this shooter was a white supremacist, therefore the entire right is guilty of white supremacy.

00:05:59.000 And this is the schtick of the media.

00:06:01.000 Everyone I don't like is responsible for mass shootings.

00:06:05.000 Now the peg that they're trying to hang their head on here is the fact that this guy was a devotee of the so-called Great Replacement Theory.

00:06:11.000 Now what the left is trying to do is broaden out the term Great Replacement Theory to include any sort of normal concerns about illegal immigration, any suggestions that demographic voting patterns make a difference, which of course Everybody both left and right knows that they do.

00:06:27.000 I mean, the left has been claiming for literally as long as I've been alive, changing demographic patterns in the United States.

00:06:32.000 We're going to shift the politics of the country in a progressive direction.

00:06:35.000 This is the base of Roy Teixeira's The Emerging Democratic Majority in 2003.

00:06:40.000 So if you want to talk about the Great Replacement Theory and what this person actually thought, you have to actually read the manifesto.

00:06:45.000 And you actually have to know what the Great Replacement Theory is.

00:06:47.000 The Great Replacement Theory is the theory that essentially there are a bunch of Jewish elites, and this coterie of Jewish elites wishes to pervert the racial stock of a country like the United States, a predominantly white country, in order to weaken the country from within. 0.95

00:07:00.000 That is the Great Replacement Theory.

00:07:02.000 It is not concerns about illegal immigration.

00:07:03.000 It is not concerns about cultural assimilation.

00:07:06.000 The Great Replacement Theory is the idea that there can never be cultural assimilation.

00:07:09.000 The Great Replacement Theory is the idea that race is destiny.

00:07:13.000 In fact, the racial essentialism of Great Replacement Theory looks a lot more like wokeism than it does like mainstream conservatism or mainstream liberalism.

00:07:21.000 Neither of the two major Democratic parties is a believer that simply because you are of a particular race, this means that you are inherently genetically designed in order to vote a particular way.

00:07:30.000 That is relegated to the wokeist left and it's relegated to the white supremacist right.

00:07:34.000 We sort of join hands in this belief that we can look at your race and know inherently how you are going to vote and how your kids are going to vote and how your grandkids are going to vote.

00:07:43.000 But basic concerns over illegal immigration and how that shifts voting patterns, that is not the Great Replacement Theory.

00:07:48.000 Concerns about whether new immigrants to the United States are going to assimilate to the American way, that's not the Great Replacement Theory.

00:07:54.000 So what the left is trying to do is take the classical Great Replacement Theory, a neo-Nazi white supremacist theory, and then conflate that with all these other normal concerns and then say, if you have those concerns, you are part of the movement that led to this mass shooting in Buffalo, New York.

00:08:07.000 And it's very obvious they're doing this, and they're doing it for a political purpose.

00:08:10.000 We'll explain in a second.

00:08:11.000 First, the value of your minivan, pickup, sedan, whatever you drive right now, it probably appreciated significantly last year.

00:08:16.000 Maybe the only good thing about Joe Biden's inflation.

00:08:18.000 Well, what does that mean?

00:08:19.000 It means you really have to take care of your car, because frankly, you can't afford a replacement.

00:08:23.000 This is why you need rockauto.com.

00:08:25.000 They only sell auto parts and related tools.

00:08:27.000 They've been doing it for over 20 years.

00:08:48.000 rockauto.com has lots of parts you might expect, but only be available at car dealerships if they're available at all. 0.72

00:08:52.000 Parts like the fan inside your seat that cools your butt.

00:08:55.000 And they've got everything you need over at rockauto.com.

00:08:57.000 So what exactly are you waiting for?

00:08:58.000 Go to rockauto.com for your auto parts.

00:08:59.000 Write Shapiro in there.

00:09:00.000 How did you hear about us box?

00:09:02.000 So they know that I sent you.

00:09:03.000 Otherwise, you're going to end up at one of these auto parts shop waiting in line to get to the front.

00:09:06.000 And finally, there's some schlub behind the counter who's telling you that he has to order it online.

00:09:10.000 You could just skip all of that by going online right now at rockauto.com.

00:09:13.000 Get your auto parts.

00:09:14.000 Write Shapiro in there.

00:09:15.000 How did you hear about us box?

00:09:16.000 So they know that I sent you.

00:09:18.000 And again, you don't have to be an expert in this sort of stuff to understand that what the media are doing about this is lying.

00:09:26.000 So, I mean, for example, if you look at the actual manifesto of the shooter, and the only reason I'm bothering to look at the manifesto of the shooter is if you're going to, in the media, cover the manifesto and then ignore what the manifesto actually says, I'm going to have to correct the record.

00:09:37.000 This is a direct quote from the manifesto.

00:09:40.000 Are you conservative?

00:09:41.000 No.

00:09:42.000 Conservatism is corporatism in disguise.

00:09:44.000 I want no part of it.

00:09:45.000 Are you a neo-Nazi?

00:09:46.000 I support neo-Nazism. 1.00

00:09:47.000 This is not...

00:09:51.000 This is not a person who considered himself a typical conservative.

00:09:55.000 This is not somebody who was worried specifically about just voting patterns. 0.88

00:09:59.000 This is somebody who's worried about the racial stock of the United States because he's a white supremacist.

00:10:04.000 That is a different thing.

00:10:05.000 So what the left attempts to do is, of course, conflate all of these concerns and then say that you are responsible.

00:10:10.000 For this attack.

00:10:11.000 If you're concerned about the fact that there are going to be 18,000 illegal immigrants who are going to be joining us on the border every day according to the Department of Homeland Security at the end of Title 42, this means that you are now an incipient white supremacist or at least an inspiration to white supremacists everywhere.

00:10:25.000 And apparently, the entire media and Democratic Party have decided to mirror this perspective.

00:10:30.000 So, for example, you have Nancy Pelosi yesterday.

00:10:32.000 She specifically asked on CNN whether right-wing figures share responsibility for the attack.

00:10:35.000 Now, I don't remember anyone from CNN asking if Bernie Sanders shared responsibility for the congressional baseball attack.

00:10:41.000 The congressional baseball shooter literally was spouting Bernie Sanders when he went and shot people.

00:10:46.000 And I said at the time, Bernie Sanders is not responsible for this.

00:10:49.000 The BLM shooter, who killed several Dallas police officers in 2016, He, Barack Obama was not responsible for that shooter. 0.88

00:11:00.000 It turns out that in order for people to be responsible for other people committing active heinous violence, they have to be espousing active heinous violence against other human beings.

00:11:07.000 But this is not the media model.

00:11:08.000 The media model, because the goal here is shut up, The media model is if I disagree with you, you're now responsible for mass shootings.

00:11:15.000 Therefore, we have to stop you because your words are causing violence.

00:11:18.000 So here is Dana Bash on CNN, basically just feeding up softballs to Nancy Pelosi. 1.00

00:11:22.000 Are your political opponents responsible for the mass murder of black people in a Buffalo, New York supermarket? 0.97

00:11:28.000 The racist purported manifesto is based on the really repugnant white supremacist idea that people of color are replacing white people in the United States. 0.97

00:11:39.000 And as you know, this isn't just a fringe theory on the corner of the internet. 0.92

00:11:45.000 It's being pushed by right-wing media personalities and some political figures.

00:11:49.000 What do you say to them, and do they share any responsibility in this attack?

00:11:54.000 It's so horrible, and it's a horrible way to wake up on Sunday for these families to face that reality, and to have it be part of a philosophy in our country, as you describe.

00:12:09.000 It's part of a philosophy in our country, according to Nancy Pelosi and Dana Bash.

00:12:15.000 I gotta say, this is really gross.

00:12:16.000 Because, again, there is no mainstream part of the political movement in this country that believes that there is a Jewish conspiracy to degrade the racial stock of the country by shipping in brown people.

00:12:27.000 Normal concerns about illegal immigration or cultural assimilation and immigration, that is not just the United States, that is common in Europe, that is common in Japan, and that's common literally everywhere on the planet, there are concerns about immigration.

00:12:36.000 Conflating those things is an attempt to destroy your political opposition through attribution of views that people do not actually hold.

00:12:43.000 But this is exactly what the left is going to do now, because they do this all the time.

00:12:47.000 And when there was a shooting at a Walmart that targeted Latinos.

00:12:50.000 A white supremacist targeted Latinos at a Walmart in Texas.

00:12:52.000 You remember, there was an attempt to pin that on the entire right.

00:12:55.000 When Gabby Giffords, the Arizona Congresswoman, was shot by a deranged nut, the attempt was, Sarah Palin is responsible for this and so is the broad scale Republican rhetoric.

00:13:08.000 But when it turns out that a left-wing violent person does a left-wing violent thing, then we have to make sure that we definitely wouldn't want to attribute this person's views to anybody else, even if they're deliberately citing those views.

00:13:18.000 We definitely wouldn't want to do that.

00:13:20.000 It's not just Nancy Pelosi.

00:13:21.000 Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, he did the same thing.

00:13:23.000 He suggested that this is all because of Fox News.

00:13:25.000 Now, again, the manifesto contains no mention of Fox News, like none.

00:13:28.000 It's 180 pages long.

00:13:30.000 It contains a bevy of sources this person said that he trafficked in, including the Daily Stormer, which is an actual neo-Nazi site.

00:13:36.000 But according to the left, it's all Fox News, of course.

00:13:40.000 There's two really frightening phenomenon that are happening in this country right now.

00:13:43.000 The first is the normalization of racism, right?

00:13:47.000 You have racist ideology and speech now embedded inside major American institutions, the Republican Party, the former president's political operation, Fox News, and it is fueling a level of violence that we have never seen before.

00:14:08.000 It's just an incredible lie.

00:14:10.000 It's just an incredible lie that because there are Republicans who are concerned about illegal immigration, or because there are Republicans who are concerned about progressive voting patterns that Democrats brag about.

00:14:21.000 They brag about this.

00:14:23.000 The so-called Browning of America, which is something I've said I don't care about, because I don't care about that. 0.99

00:14:28.000 I care about how people assimilate.

00:14:28.000 I care about how people vote.

00:14:30.000 I care about how people reflect American values in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

00:14:34.000 I've said this stuff very openly, very clearly, many, many, many times.

00:14:38.000 But the idea here is that if you care about any of those things, then you are part of the Great Replacement Theory. 0.71

00:14:43.000 According to the left, everybody on the right is responsible for white supremacy shootings, including people like me, who literally are featured as a rat in the manifesto. 0.75

00:14:50.000 I'm not kidding you. 0.96

00:14:52.000 We'll get to this in a second.

00:14:53.000 First, soaring inflation is pushing the Fed to raise rates quickly and aggressively.

00:14:57.000 They're planning many more hikes this year.

00:14:57.000 They did it last week.

00:14:59.000 So you have to be on the lookout.

00:15:01.000 Take care of your finances and your investments.

00:15:03.000 Do everything you can to come out ahead.

00:15:05.000 This includes spending less on interest payments, whether it be your home loan, credit cards or personal loans.

00:15:09.000 Look at all of it.

00:15:09.000 In fact, let American Financing look at all of it.

00:15:12.000 They're a family-owned lender known for its custom loan solutions and its no-pressure approach to lending.

00:15:16.000 I've worked with them for a long time now.

00:15:56.000 You have Wesley Lowry over on CNN attempting to attribute this shooter to views like mine.

00:16:04.000 Now, in a second, I will show you how stupid this is, because it really is like provably idiotic. 1.00

00:16:08.000 But here is Wesley Lowry, who used to report for the Washington Post. 1.00

00:16:12.000 The stuff Tucker and Laura Ingraham say every night, it could be written by white supremacists very often.

00:16:18.000 There was a section of this manifesto where the shooter starts talking about, people always say diversity is strength.

00:16:23.000 How is it strength?

00:16:24.000 I could hear it in Tucker's voice.

00:16:27.000 He says this all the time, right?

00:16:28.000 But the Ben Shapiros of the world say this. 0.96

00:16:30.000 There's a big chunk about the idea of genetic differences that could have been pulled from an Andrew Sullivan column, right?

00:16:36.000 There are plenty of people in our politics, in our media, who advance these ideas and advance them frequently.

00:16:43.000 It's Andrew Sullivan, too. 0.98

00:16:45.000 And for some reason, my name gets mentioned in connection with the Great Replacement Theory, despite the fact that I have never and would never propagate the actual Great Replacement Theory, because not only is it ridiculous and stupid in every facet, also it suggests that Jews are responsible for all the world's problems. 0.96

00:17:05.000 I'm literally, there's a picture of me in this manifesto, not as somebody who's inspiring the shooter, but as one of the genetic types of Jew who controls the world. 0.96

00:17:16.000 This is an actual picture from the manifesto in which there's a picture of me and it's labeled the rat.

00:17:23.000 But according to Wesley Lowry over at CNN, this is because people like me are inspiring this sort of thing.

00:17:29.000 And the goal here is everyone I don't like is responsible for mass shootings, so they all have to shut up.

00:17:34.000 I'm literally in the manifesto next to Peter Beinart, who I think is despicable. 0.93

00:17:39.000 I think Peter Beinart is awful.

00:17:40.000 But Peter Beinart has sort of a similar look, I guess? 0.95

00:17:46.000 And so the idea is that we both look like rats because we are both Jews and therefore we are both proponents of the idea that the racial stock of the United States must be degraded by bringing in quote-unquote inferior peoples. 0.95

00:17:54.000 That's what this actual shooter says. 0.79

00:17:57.000 And the idea from Wesley Lowry is that Tucker's saying that and I'm saying that.

00:18:01.000 Which is nuts!

00:18:02.000 Okay, this is just crazy towns. 0.98

00:18:04.000 But again, when you understand the goal here, which is perverse and sick, which is to lump in white supremacist shooters with anyone who is mainstream, right? 0.97

00:18:11.000 You get it. 0.92

00:18:12.000 Abby Phillips did the same thing on CNN. 0.84

00:18:13.000 She blamed Tucker.

00:18:14.000 She blamed Fox News.

00:18:15.000 Here we go.

00:18:16.000 If you watch Fox News, this is the mainstay of their primetime hours.

00:18:21.000 Tucker Carlson discusses it in sometimes euphemistic form, but not really all that euphemistic.

00:18:27.000 What does this country do about the way in which this idea of white replacement has just become part of our politics? 0.68

00:18:37.000 Oh, it's just become part of our politics that white whites are being replaced. 0.83

00:18:40.000 OK, again, which argument are you making?

00:18:43.000 So the goal here for the left is to make the Great Replacement Theory cover everything. 0.51

00:18:47.000 And that way, everything I don't like is the Great Replacement Theory.

00:18:49.000 And it must be stopped because it's dangerous.

00:18:51.000 So, for example, you have a piece from the Daily Beast.

00:18:54.000 This one is by the.

00:18:57.000 Odious Wajahat Ali. 0.95

00:18:58.000 And I say odious because he's intellectually odious. 0.98

00:19:00.000 He's really, really dishonest.

00:19:02.000 In which he says, Republicans and the conservative media ecosystem have to answer for blood on their hands.

00:19:07.000 Either through innuendo or direct statement, they continue to promote the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory, which has yet again radicalized the terrorists to commit violence against people of color.

00:19:15.000 And they should be held accountable for their role in it.

00:19:19.000 According to Wajahat Ali, it's clear from the shooter's alleged manifesto that the Great Replacement Theory, which is now a mainstream GOP talking point, continues to radicalize men to commit violence.

00:19:28.000 And yet some Republican leaders and conservative pundits continue to promote this hate for the sake of votes, profit, and ratings.

00:19:33.000 Enough is enough.

00:19:34.000 So first of all, let me just make also clear That the left's demographic arguments have been completely wrong.

00:19:38.000 So they've been arguing for several decades that as more brown people enter the country, there will be a demographic move in favor of progressive voting.

00:19:44.000 And as the Hispanic voting patterns right now are showing, that's absolutely untrue. 0.97

00:19:48.000 But back to Wajahat Ali's garbage column. 0.95

00:19:49.000 He says, until Republican leaders and conservative media stars explicitly renounce this white supremacist conspiracy, condemn it, and disassociate from its peddlers, it's fair to conclude they are entirely complicit with its message. 0.75

00:20:02.000 And so he says, That every Republican elected official must be asked the following questions, quote, do you believe in the replacement theory?

00:20:08.000 Do you condemn the replacement theory or do you support the ideology that has inspired numerous mass terrorists?

00:20:13.000 If you do condemn it, then why are you and your colleagues repeating it?

00:20:17.000 So here is the thing.

00:20:19.000 He then several paragraphs down actually describes the quote unquote great replacement theory.

00:20:27.000 And the Great Replacement Theory, he says that half of Republican voters support it, which is not true.

00:20:34.000 Half of Republican voters are concerned about illegal immigration and or cultural assimilation by immigrants.

00:20:39.000 That is not the same thing as the quote-unquote Great Replacement Theory.

00:20:43.000 But somewhere down here in the article, he actually does acknowledge the nature of what the Great Replacement Theory actually is, which is a Jewish conspiracy theory, right?

00:20:53.000 That the Jews are actively attempting to replace... It's the, the Jews will not replace us language that you saw people chanting at Charlottesville.

00:21:01.000 So how many Republicans actually believe that stuff?

00:21:03.000 The answer is pretty much none.

00:21:05.000 But if you broaden out great replacement theory to include everyone who has legitimate concerns about immigration, then this means that everyone who has concerns about immigration has to be silenced because after all, they might be incipient mass shooters.

00:21:16.000 So for example, you have Talia Lavin, who writes for Rolling Stone and who is just awful. 1.00

00:21:21.000 Talia Lavin, you'll recall, was complicit.

00:21:24.000 Well, actually, it was her fault that there was a Border Patrol agent who ended up being fired because she misidentified a tattoo on him as a neo-Nazi symbol.

00:21:31.000 And the guy ended up losing his job.

00:21:33.000 So now she's back for more.

00:21:34.000 And she has a piece at Rolling Stone titled The Buffalo Shooter isn't a lone wolf.

00:21:37.000 He's a mainstream Republican.

00:21:41.000 She says there's no such thing as a lone wolf, an appellation often given in error to terrorists who act alone, particularly those of the white supremacist variety.

00:21:47.000 There are only those people who, fed a steady diet of violent propaganda and stochastic terror, take annihilatory rhetoric to its logical conclusion.

00:21:54.000 There's never a lone wolf?

00:21:56.000 Weird, because I feel like she wouldn't extend this logic to, for example, the several billion dollars in property damage done by Black Lives Matter rioters.

00:22:03.000 I feel like she wouldn't do this with regard to, say, radical Islamist terrorists.

00:22:06.000 When it comes to a white supremacist who is making a pretty distinctive claim in his manifesto, we have to ignore the distinctive claim in the manifesto, and we have to pretend that Republicans of broad scale are supporting this sort of stuff.

00:22:18.000 You have the same thing from the Washington Post today.

00:22:20.000 The Washington Post, a piece by Mariana Sotomayor, has a piece titled, And then this was passed around the internet like wildfire, this particular piece, because, again, it is a very, very convenient argument that you see people on the left making, which is that Republicans are the ones who are truly responsible for all of this.

00:22:41.000 Republicans are... Okay, here is the thing.

00:22:43.000 It's not true.

00:22:45.000 Okay, in just one second, we'll get to what Elise Stefanik actually said.

00:22:49.000 What Elise Stefanik actually said is not, in fact, is not a great replacement theory knockoff.

00:22:59.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:24:03.000 Okay, here's what Elise Stefanik actually said. 0.97

00:24:06.000 Okay, this is, she said, A serious Facebook ad she published in September of 2021 by her campaign committee.

00:24:14.000 It said, radical Democrats are planning their most aggressive move yet, a permanent election insurrection.

00:24:18.000 Their plan to grant amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants will overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington. 0.92

00:24:24.000 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:24:25.000 If you're a Democrat, you've been spending the last several years claiming that Republicans are attempting to suppress the minority vote.

00:24:31.000 And this is horrifying because they're suppressing the minority vote in order to suppress Democratic votes.

00:24:37.000 This is an argument made by Democrats.

00:24:39.000 So, question.

00:24:40.000 How can you simultaneously argue that Republicans are attempting to suppress the minority vote in order to stop Democrats from voting, and also, Republicans are racist for identifying minorities with Democrats?

00:24:50.000 You're gonna have to square that circle.

00:24:53.000 But the idea here is that this is all part of the broader theory that is propagated by the right.

00:24:58.000 Again, another article by Paul Farhi over at the Washington Post.

00:25:01.000 Conservative media is familiar with the Buffalo Suspect's alleged theory.

00:25:05.000 The suspect in Saturday's killing of 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket allegedly wrote a document endorsing Great Replacement Theory, a once-fringe racist idea that became a popular refrain among media figures like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham of Fox News and conservative writer Ann Coulter.

00:25:20.000 The theory was once confined to far-right white extremists who cast immigration as a plot by the elites to take political and economic power away from white people.

00:25:27.000 It has gained broader circulation in recent years as a talking point among prominent conservative media figures.

00:25:34.000 And the basic attempt, as always, is just conflate it.

00:25:37.000 Conflate everything.

00:25:38.000 And if you conflate everything, then the idea is that you are now responsible for mass shootings.

00:25:44.000 So ignore what the guy actually said in his manifesto and just kind of make up what you wish he had said in his manifesto so that you could claim that he's a mainstream Republican.

00:25:50.000 So what is the goal of this?

00:25:52.000 The goal is eventually you shut down speech, right?

00:25:54.000 The idea here is that if you can conflate everything with the Great Replacement Theory, then anybody who disseminates anything you don't like can be shut down.

00:26:01.000 Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, basically just said this straight out.

00:26:03.000 She says social media should shut down any discussion of quote-unquote Great Replacement.

00:26:07.000 Now, first of all, I don't think that discussions should generally be shut down, even of theories I hate, including the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that is the Great Replacement Theory.

00:26:16.000 Again, half of that manifesto is dedicated to the evils of Jews. 1.00

00:26:19.000 But, even if I did believe you should shut that stuff down, which I don't, that would still not cover the kind of stuff Democrats are counting now as the Great Replacement Theory.

00:26:27.000 Kathy Hochul is basically saying social media should be shut down to prevent this sort of stuff.

00:26:33.000 It's spreading like a virus now.

00:26:35.000 The white supremacy manifestos, the white supremacy concept of replacement theory where they're concerned and now taking to the streets in places like Charlottesville and others motivated by this idea that immigrants and Jews and blacks are going to replace whites and that is spreading.

00:26:54.000 through social media platforms that need to be monitored.

00:26:58.000 These companies have a lot of money.

00:27:00.000 They have resources.

00:27:01.000 They have technology.

00:27:03.000 Keywords show up.

00:27:04.000 They need to be identified.

00:27:06.000 Someone needs to watch this and to shut it down the second it appears.

00:27:12.000 Social media is now responsible for shutting... This is always their goal.

00:27:15.000 It's amazing how all this lines up with the goal of the left, which is to shut down all speech I don't like.

00:27:19.000 So the idea is, I lump you in with a bunch of horrible people, and we don't like their speech, so we don't like your speech, so social media should shut down all of that speech. 0.99

00:27:27.000 How transparently, amazingly stupid is this argument? 1.00

00:27:31.000 The argument is so stupid that people were trending Kyle Rittenhouse over the weekend. 1.00

00:27:35.000 Kyle Rittenhouse was responsible for shooting three white people, not black people, white people in self-defense. 1.00

00:27:42.000 And they were conflating this shooter, who literally went to a supermarket in order to murder black people, with Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot several white people in self-defense.

00:27:50.000 This is a common meme over the weekend.

00:27:52.000 It came up over and over and over again.

00:27:54.000 Rittenhouse trended for this.

00:27:57.000 So, for example, you had Chuck Mody, who's a sports writer for Deadspin, tweeting, quote, when Kyle Rittenhouse becomes a hero instead of an inmate, don't be surprised when more of this happens.

00:28:08.000 What the hell does that have to do with Kyle Rittenhouse?

00:28:11.000 Or for example, you have Gregory McKelvey, the vice chair of Oregon Democrats Black Caucus and former chair of Atlanta DSA, tweeting, quote, Black people being gunned down is what happens when society lifts Kyle Rittenhouse up as a hero and treats Kaepernick as a villain.

00:28:24.000 So hold up a second.

00:28:25.000 Kaepernick has million dollar contracts from places like Nike and ends up on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

00:28:30.000 Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn't have even been tried.

00:28:32.000 They didn't have the evidence for it. 0.97

00:28:33.000 But Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot white people, is somehow responsible for a black... Because again, everything I don't like is white supremacy. 0.96

00:28:39.000 Tristan Snell. 0.94

00:28:40.000 Who is a founder of MainStreetLaw.law, commentator for CNN and MSNBC.

00:28:45.000 He said, remember when we said that acquitting Kyle Rittenhouse would embolden the next Kyle Rittenhouse to be far worse?

00:28:49.000 Yeah.

00:28:49.000 What does this have to do with Kyle Rittenhouse?

00:28:51.000 What are you even talking about?

00:28:55.000 Naveed Jamali, who is a Newsweek editor at large, tweeted, we are witnessing the Kyle Rittenhouse effect.

00:29:03.000 It's amazing stuff.

00:29:04.000 And then, of course, you have a person named Dash Dabrowski, who recently was suggesting that It's good that we leak Supreme Court opinions.

00:29:12.000 I guess this human is a UCLA law student.

00:29:17.000 And he tweeted, the shooting in Buffalo is the result of Fox News and the GOP praising Kyle Rittenhouse as a hero for shooting two innocent people to death and facing no legal consequences.

00:29:25.000 He didn't shoot two innocent people to death.

00:29:26.000 They were both attacking him.

00:29:27.000 It's the result of Rittenhouse getting to meet the president at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate his acquittal.

00:29:32.000 This is all so transparent and so transparently insane.

00:29:35.000 And again, if you're going to argue that everyone who has concerns about illegal immigration is now a part of the Great Replacement Theory, you're going to have to deal with the fact that a lot of Democrats have serious questions about illegal immigration, ranging from Joe Manchin to, for example, the Democratic Texas representative.

00:29:49.000 He says there are 100,000 illegal immigrants who are just waiting for Title 42 to end.

00:29:55.000 Is this guy, this one right here, is this guy a member of the Great Replacement Theory because he's concerned about illegal immigration?

00:30:00.000 Is that what's happening here?

00:30:03.000 Why do you say Title 42 must not be lifted?

00:30:06.000 Well, we don't have the resources in place, either from the state or the federal government, to be able to address the number of immigrants and migrants that are crossing. 0.61

00:30:14.000 So, in those conversations with the Mexican officials, we have been privy to a number of videos and a number of information that shows that there's over 100,000 migrants ready for Title 42 to end.

00:30:24.000 We don't have the resources and we don't have the manpower to be able to handle that.

00:30:29.000 That is Texas State Representative Eddie Morales, a Democrat.

00:30:33.000 Democrat, but apparently he seems kind of Hispanic to me, but maybe he's a white supremacist.

00:30:37.000 Maybe, you just don't know.

00:30:38.000 A proponent of the Great Replacement Theory.

00:30:40.000 And lump all this stuff together and you can get away with what you need.

00:30:42.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden says that he is now going to head over to Buffalo, which is perfectly predictable.

00:30:48.000 Now, here's my view on the president visiting sites of tragedy.

00:30:51.000 I don't like it when it's any president because I feel like it's grandstanding almost always.

00:30:55.000 Almost always.

00:30:55.000 Whether it's President Trump visiting burned out stores in Wisconsin, or whether it is President Biden now visiting Buffalo, I don't think the president descending on places of tragedy is generally good for the country.

00:31:07.000 I just don't think that it, unless it's like a foreign attack on a domestic American institution like the World Trade Center and it's George W. Bush, Going there.

00:31:14.000 Like that's the only single example I can think where I've thought that that was a good idea.

00:31:18.000 I don't like it when presidents go to disaster areas when there's a hurricane or anything else.

00:31:22.000 And it doesn't matter if it's a Republican or a Democrat because it's just a, it's a use of public resources in order for somebody to make a political point almost always.

00:31:29.000 And so I'm generally not in favor of it.

00:31:31.000 But if you're going to do it, if you're going to make it a point of honor that the president of the United States is supposed to go to sites of mass shootings or mass killings, then you at least have to be consistent about it.

00:31:41.000 Joe Biden is pretty picky about which sites he goes to.

00:31:45.000 So, for example, according to the New York Post, Biden will travel to Buffalo on Tuesday in the wake of the massacre there.

00:31:51.000 Governor Kathy Hochul wrote in a tweet on Sunday that they would welcome him anytime, quote, I appreciate his outreach and the opportunity to tell him about my hometown's strong, resilient and fighting spirit.

00:32:01.000 We are the city of good neighbors.

00:32:02.000 I told him we will welcome him anytime.

00:32:04.000 But then again, you recall that Joe Biden refused to visit Waukesha, Wisconsin, because Waukesha, Wisconsin was the site of a black supremacist who mowed down a bunch of white people, including some school children, during a Christmas parade.

00:32:21.000 But Jen Psaki said he didn't have time. The public resources just weren't available.

00:32:25.000 So weird how the public resources are available for him to go to Buffalo. They are not available for him to go to someplace like Waukesha.

00:32:31.000 I wonder if it has something to do with the underlying politics.

00:32:33.000 Why hasn't the president visited the members of this Christmas parade attack?

00:32:38.000 Well, I would say first, as you saw the president convey last week, our hearts go out to this community.

00:32:45.000 Obviously, any president going to visit a community requires a lot of assets, requires taking their resources, and it's not something that I have a trip previewed at this point in time.

00:32:56.000 Oh wow, so I mean it takes up a lot of resources and it really clogs up the arteries of a main American city like, say, Buffalo, New York.

00:33:02.000 Weird that that argument only applies to Waukesha but does not apply to Buffalo, New York.

00:33:05.000 Almost as though the president's going to go there and then blame all of his political opponents for what just happened in Buffalo.

00:33:11.000 Which is going to be really, really ugly.

00:33:12.000 And unfortunately has become a staple of democratic political rhetoric at this point.

00:33:16.000 That anytime there is an evil racist attack, it's all my opponents must answer for this evil racist attack.

00:33:22.000 Even if there is no support to the idea that they either backed it, or drove it, or anything remotely like that.

00:33:30.000 You want to talk about what's polarizing the country?

00:33:31.000 It would be stuff like that. 0.90

00:33:32.000 This would be like a great moment for unity, gang, because it turns out that everyone hates white supremacists. 1.00

00:33:38.000 Right, left, center, we all hate the white supremacists because their views are garbage. 0.99

00:33:42.000 But instead, the left is like, no, no, no, half of you, like literally half of you believe the same thing that this guy who went up and shot a largely black area supermarket. 1.00

00:33:52.000 You believe exactly the same sort of stuff.

00:33:55.000 Frankly, if Democrats believe that, they should go to civil war with the people who believe that sort of stuff. 0.90

00:33:58.000 If you actually believe that half of America wants to just walk into a supermarket and mow down black people, it seems like you probably should go to war with those people.

00:34:06.000 But I don't see you doing that. 0.95

00:34:07.000 I see you mainly suggesting this for purposes of political victory.

00:34:12.000 And the reason for that, of course, is because you're sinking in the polls, which is the most cynical sort of politicking.

00:34:17.000 I don't think that it's any coincidence that Joe Biden is seizing on this and trying to turn this into a hot button divisive political issue where again we all agree white supremacy evil.

00:34:28.000 I'm never going to get over the fact that there is a picture of me literally featured in that manifesto and there are commentators who are blaming me for the guy doing this.

00:34:38.000 Like a picture of me as a rat in the manifesto and yet it's people like me who are responsible for all of this.

00:34:44.000 I'm just never going to get over that.

00:34:46.000 I'm never going to get over the fact that there's an entire side of the political aisle that will say that I am forwarding the Aspirations of white supremacists when I am pretty much the number one political target of white supremacists in America.

00:34:58.000 Certainly I was in the 2016 election by all available data.

00:35:03.000 The FBI literally had to arrest a white supremacist up in Oregon a couple of years ago for threatening me and my family. 0.95

00:35:10.000 But apparently, again, everyone I don't like is a white supremacist who wants to facilitate mass shootings. 0.94

00:35:16.000 This is the argument that the left likes to make. 0.56

00:35:18.000 And the real reason that they are making this argument, particularly right now, is because Joe Biden is just getting destroyed in the polls.

00:35:23.000 His job approval is down to 39%, 42% among registered voters, 56% of adults, 44% of registered voters disapprove of Joe Biden.

00:35:32.000 At this point, three quarters of Americans, literally three quarters, say that the country is on the wrong track.

00:35:37.000 So it's time to pull out the I'm the soul of the country and all my opponents are white supremacists.

00:35:44.000 You know what? 0.64

00:35:45.000 Good luck with that argument.

00:35:45.000 Good luck with that.

00:35:46.000 Because it turns out Americans have a right to be upset about illegal immigration.

00:35:50.000 They have a right to be concerned about whether new immigrants to America are assimilating. 0.97

00:35:55.000 They have a right to be concerned about the future of the economy.

00:35:57.000 They have a right to be concerned about all of these things.

00:35:59.000 And that is not the same thing as saying that Jewish elites are facilitating the degradation of the racial stock of the United States, which is the actual Great Replacement Theory.

00:36:07.000 All righty, coming up, many in the media are proclaiming that everyone they disagree with is responsible for violence.

00:36:11.000 Well, I just have a question for the media.

00:36:13.000 Are you responsible for violence when you actively promote propaganda from terrorist groups?

00:37:29.000 Alrighty, the Women's March was this weekend.

00:37:31.000 In case you were too busy enjoying your life to notice angry, angry people being angry, I don't want to misgender anybody because they're people, not women. 0.77

00:37:42.000 Well, if you missed that, there was a much better piece of content for you to take in and also to disseminate to your friends who went to the so-called Women's March, even if we don't know what a woman is.

00:37:50.000 If they'd stayed home and watched our new Daily Wire original documentary, Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe, they might've actually learned something.

00:37:55.000 Like some relevant facts, context, history, they could've incorporated into all of their costume chanting and graphic sign waving.

00:38:01.000 You can help us fight back.

00:38:02.000 Become a Daily Wire member.

00:38:03.000 Watch Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe. 0.64

00:38:05.000 Hear the facts and stories the abortion regime has suppressed for generations.

00:38:09.000 Here's the trailer.

00:38:19.000 Thanks for watching!

00:38:22.000 As we started, patients would begin crying and protesting.

00:38:32.000 But once we had begun dilating the cervix and passing instruments into the uterus, it was too late to stop.

00:38:38.000 I was handing hush money to women who we had left pieces of their baby. 0.98

00:38:52.000 We had put these women's lives in jeopardy. 1.00

00:38:54.000 We had put their lives at risk.

00:38:56.000 And we were literally giving them a check for $800.

00:38:58.000 for $800, and for a poor woman, $800 is a lot of money. 1.00

00:39:03.000 I mean, there have been so many moments in the last decade plus of going undercover in abortion clinics myself and seeing just heartbreaking things.

00:39:17.000 Women vomiting in the hallway of an abortion clinic, crying out in pain.

00:39:21.000 The late-term abortionists talking casually about how they would literally leave a born alive baby to die.

00:39:28.000 Or if you deliver the baby in the toilet, then you pick it up and stuff it in a plastic bag and bring it to us.

00:39:33.000 Babies are being born alive and the backs of their necks are being slit.

00:39:39.000 They are being drowned.

00:39:41.000 Their necks are being snapped.

00:39:43.000 It's happening more often than people want to think about.

00:39:48.000 These abortion facilities, these abortion providers, these doctors, they don't care about these women. 1.00

00:39:57.000 And you're just, you're realizing you're watching in front of your own eyes play out America's greatest horror story, which is how we butcher children in the name of choice.

00:40:11.000 A monster on the move!

00:40:12.000 A corpse!

00:40:13.000 I'm on the rock of death!

00:40:20.000 I'm going to die!

00:40:46.000 We here at the Daily Wire are involved in telling the truth.

00:40:49.000 We want you to help your friends learn the truth.

00:40:52.000 Head on over to dailywire.com slash choosing.

00:40:54.000 Help us expose abortion's full, gruesome truth. 0.59

00:40:57.000 The fight for life has all come down to this moment again.

00:40:59.000 Dailywire.com slash choosing.

00:41:01.000 It's one of the most important pieces of film we have ever made.

00:41:03.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:41:06.000 So you want to talk about the media actually facilitating people getting killed, facilitating Well, maybe if you support the agenda of terrorist groups and repeat all their propaganda, that would do it.

00:41:21.000 So here I'm speaking about what's currently going on in Israel.

00:41:23.000 So there is a journalist named Shireen Abu-Akhla, and she was killed in some sort of firefight between Islamic terrorists and the Israelis in Jenin.

00:41:32.000 What led up to that firefight in Jenin was the fact that there had been 19 Israelis murdered by seven terrorists in the last month in Israel.

00:41:40.000 And so Israel every so often has to go into heavily radicalized areas like Jenin and try and target terrorists and try to kill them.

00:41:47.000 And so IDF forces went into Jenin to try to capture one particular Islamic Jihad terrorist who was operating in that part of Jenin.

00:41:52.000 And the Palestinians opened fire on the Israelis.

00:41:55.000 They started throwing Molotov cocktails.

00:41:57.000 They returned fire.

00:41:59.000 And in the middle of this exchange of fire, Abu Akhlo was hit by a bullet that killed her.

00:42:03.000 And another Al Jazeera journalist next to her was also shot.

00:42:06.000 Now, one thing became clear within minutes.

00:42:08.000 It was not clear who actually shot the bullet that killed Abu Akhla.

00:42:12.000 It was absolutely unclear.

00:42:14.000 How do we know that it was unclear?

00:42:15.000 Because the Israelis said, OK, we don't know who shot that bullet.

00:42:19.000 And the Palestinians, who immediately claimed, including al-Jazeera, which is a propaganda outlet for the Qatari government, al-Jazeera immediately claimed it was the Israelis.

00:42:26.000 Within minutes, the Palestinians were now saying, well, we actually, we're not, we're not sure.

00:42:30.000 Not only are we not sure, we will not cooperate with any joint investigation with the Israelis into who shot the bullet that killed Abu Akhla.

00:42:36.000 Because the Israelis were like, okay, let's do a joint investigation. 0.99

00:42:38.000 Let's find out who did this.

00:42:39.000 Let's find out how this happened.

00:42:40.000 And Palestine's like, nope. 1.00

00:42:42.000 Israel's like, well, can we at least see the bullet? 1.00

00:42:43.000 Because if you show us the bullet, we can tell you whether it came from an Israeli gun.

00:42:47.000 We have all the guns over here, so we can tell you whether it was from our guns or whether it was from yours.

00:42:50.000 Nope, we wouldn't turn over the bullet.

00:42:52.000 Instead, it was, we will submit a complaint to the International Criminal Court, a wildly anti-Israel court, and we'll go after the Israelis. 0.85

00:42:57.000 So everybody in the mainstream legacy media started parroting the propaganda that Abu Akbar was murdered in cold blood by the Israelis.

00:43:04.000 I'm talking everybody from CNN anchors to the folks over at the BBC.

00:43:07.000 They all start parroting this idea, promoted as always by terrorists in the West Bank or in the Gaza Strip, that Israel is going out of its way to shoot innocent journalists, which is simply untrue.

00:43:19.000 And this is promoted, of course, by the same media that ignores the simple fact that literally hundreds, hundreds of journalists have been killed over the course of the last couple of years in war zones all over the world, and they don't receive any sort of coverage like this.

00:43:33.000 So they just immediately buy into the propaganda that the Palestinian Authority starts putting out there. 0.71

00:43:39.000 They just started putting out this propaganda.

00:43:41.000 Okay, so then there's a funeral held for Shirin Abu Akhla.

00:43:46.000 And the media is filled with video of Israeli police apparently beating the pallbearers, right?

00:43:52.000 This is what you saw all over the media was the Israeli police beating the pallbearers.

00:43:57.000 So this is the very selective video that you were shown, which looks like the police going in there and hitting the people who are carrying Abu Akhla's coffin through Jerusalem.

00:44:06.000 And here's what that looked like.

00:44:12.000 Okay, so you see the Israeli police, and they're going in there, and they're hitting some of the people who are carrying the coffin, and the coffin starts to kind of fall, and then it is propped up.

00:44:20.000 It looks like it's almost going to fall, and then they prop it up.

00:44:23.000 Okay, so, what actually happened here?

00:44:25.000 What actually happened here? 0.91

00:44:26.000 Okay, the media just reported, they just put this clip out there, like the Israeli police are out there for no reason, apparently, just beating up funeral pallbearers, which would be the stupidest PR in human history, right? 0.94

00:44:37.000 The dumbest PR in human history would be You are accused of murdering a journalist and then you go to the funeral and unleash the cops on the pallbearers. 0.86

00:44:46.000 So is that actually what happened? 0.99

00:44:47.000 Of course that's not actually what happened.

00:44:48.000 What actually happened is that according to the Washington Post itself, according to the Washington Post, buried several paragraphs down into the article.

00:44:59.000 By noon, a crowd of several hundred formed at the entrance to St.

00:45:01.000 Joseph's Hospital in East Jerusalem, where Abu Akhla's body had rested overnight.

00:45:05.000 In the minutes before the procession was due to leave the hospital, several dozen Muslim men lined up for Friday prayers, kneeling in the parking lot.

00:45:10.000 Behind them, two mourners held up large floral crosses, then the crowd gathered with Palestinian flags waving.

00:45:15.000 God is great, as some chanted in Arabic from Jerusalem to Junin.

00:45:17.000 God bless your soul, Shireen.

00:45:19.000 But a group of men in the crowd prevented a hearse from backing up to the hospital door, saying they were intent on carrying her body on their shoulders.

00:45:26.000 The standoff eventually prompted Aqla's brother, sitting on a man's shoulders, to beseech the crowd to let the hearse through.

00:45:32.000 For God's sake, let us put her in the car and finish the day, he said. 0.96

00:45:34.000 So Abu Aqla's own family was begging the people who grabbed her coffin to not do this.

00:45:39.000 On the shoulder, on the shoulder, the people chanted and beat the hearse with sticks until it pulled away for a second time.

00:45:44.000 The crowd cheered when the men eventually dragged the coffin out on their shoulders, followed by a stretcher carrying the journalist's blue bullet-ridden vest.

00:45:51.000 But Israeli police at the hospital gate refused to let the crowd through and within minutes a squad in riot gear pushed forward.

00:45:55.000 So here's what actually happened.

00:45:57.000 The family of the slain journalist was working with the Israeli police to facilitate the funeral.

00:46:02.000 And that was supposed to be that the coffin was put into a hearse and taken to a local church where they were going to actually do the funeral.

00:46:09.000 Instead, a bunch of Palestinian rioters literally broke what the family wanted, grabbed the coffin out of the hearse, beat the hearse with sticks until it left, and then started tromping around the coffin.

00:46:20.000 So the Israeli police go in to stop all of this.

00:46:22.000 And what happens, as you can see from this footage, you'll see in this footage, Palestinians hurling rocks at Israeli police, and then, and then this is what you do if you're a good pallbearer. 0.74

00:46:32.000 I know, I've been to many funerals, and I've been a pallbearer at a few of them.

00:46:34.000 What I do when I'm pallbearing a funeral, you know, out of respect for the dead, is what I do is I throw rocks at the cops, and then I immediately hide under the coffin.

00:46:41.000 Which is what you can actually see in this footage.

00:46:42.000 People are throwing rocks at the cops and then they're going and hiding underneath the coffin in order so that the Israeli police have to go and try and get them out of there.

00:46:51.000 And it looks like they're beating the pallbearers.

00:46:53.000 So here is the actual footage.

00:46:54.000 You can see it.

00:46:54.000 Okay, so in the upper right-hand corner, you can see somebody flinging the rock.

00:47:07.000 There he goes, and where is he going?

00:47:09.000 Okay, so different angle.

00:47:11.000 Flinging the rock.

00:47:12.000 Okay, and here he goes.

00:47:15.000 Where is he going to duck into?

00:47:16.000 Oh, right under the coffin.

00:47:18.000 Right under the coffin.

00:47:19.000 So you have Palestinians flinging rocks at the cops and bottles at the cops, injuring several of them, by the way, and then hiding under the coffin. 0.96

00:47:27.000 The way that this is reported by the world media is, look at those brutal, horrible, evil Israelis who are randomly beating pallbearers for no reason. 0.99

00:47:34.000 This is retweeted by major CNN anchors.

00:47:36.000 Uncritically.

00:47:38.000 And then you want to know who is fostering the ambitions of actual terrorists?

00:47:43.000 That kind of stuff.

00:47:45.000 When actual terrorist groups put out propaganda and then you mirror the propaganda of actual terrorist groups, not just like you have the same thematic beliefs, but you actually mirror the actual hardcore propaganda that they are putting out.

00:47:56.000 This does make you complicit in the kind of violence that they are promoting.

00:48:00.000 And that is the legacy media doing that sort of stuff.

00:48:03.000 So you want to talk about who's responsible for violence?

00:48:05.000 Maybe it's the people who are not just backing the narrative, but actively promoting lies that are promulgated by people who actively participate in violence.

00:48:13.000 That seems like that should be a little bit more of a problem.

00:48:17.000 So again, when it comes to the media labeling people complicit in violence, all I have to say is somebody needs to buy these folks a mirror.

00:48:26.000 They really, really do. 0.90

00:48:28.000 The number of Americans who truly believe that the racial stock of America is being degraded through a Jewish conspiracy to ship in black and brown people, that is a very small number of evil and violent people. 0.74

00:48:38.000 And it is not the vast majority of the Republican Party, but that's not what the media are telling you. 0.55

00:48:43.000 And the number of members of the media who are actively willing to promulgate propaganda on behalf of actual honest-to-God terror groups turns out to be relatively high, so long as it serves the political purposes of a political side of the aisle, which truly is pretty despicable.

00:48:57.000 All righty, folks, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content, including coverage of the giant abortion protests all over the country.

00:49:03.000 In the meantime, go check out the Michael Mullins show that's available right now.
