Joe Biden has an easy political win on the table right now, but he appears unable to take it. Why? Because America s college campuses are being overrun with people who despise the West and truly despise the country's democratic ally, Israel. They don't hate America because they hate Israel, they hate the United States because they loathe America. And the only people who would be burning American flags on America's college campuses would be the same ones who would divest from the U.S. if they could and are attempting to do so, and yet, nothing has changed. This is just the latest iteration of a radical movement that began in the 1960's and has continued unabated until today, only the only difference is that now they're all in the administration and the faculty are taking the side of the nutjob protesters who are currently occupying the centers of campus and shutting down commencements. Meanwhile, over at NYU, students were leading teach-ins on the glories of North Korea, and at George Washington University, students decided to take over the main square at the main campus square at campus. We re referring to the martyrs as Martyrs. These are the people who are rallying in solidarity with Hamas, and are referring to it as "martyrs." These are people who have trained troops by the Palestinian terrorist group PLO. And they re calling themselves martyrs. And guess what? They are propping up a regime that keeps a state of penury, poverty, and absolute tyranny in a state that keeps its people in a penury and oppression. That s not only by calling them martyrs, but by supporting North Korea. Kim Jong-un. And why North Korea is good now, despite being a repressive slave state, right? And why it s good now? And why is that a good deal better than the USA is good, right?? because it s a slave state? And it s actually a country that actually supports Israel and supports the right to self-determination. And it has trained troops to fight for the Palestinians? And that s a good one, right?! and it s not a bad one? And they have trained and armed by the PFLP? And the PLO has trained by the DPRK has trained its troops to oppose the Palestinian terrorists? And isn t that a wonderful thing? Isn t that wonderful? What a wonderful, wonderful, isn t it? It s a wonderful country, isn't it?
00:00:00.000There's a very easy political win for President Joe Biden on the table right now.
00:00:05.000It really is a very easy political win and it has two facets.
00:00:08.000Political facet number one would be rejecting these insane anti-American protesters on America's college campuses.
00:00:15.000And facet number two would be supporting America's democratic ally Israel in extirpating an actual terrorist group currently holding five Americans hostage as well as approximately 128 others After committing the worst terrorist atrocity since 9-11.
00:00:29.000That would be a dual win for the Biden administration.
00:00:31.000But Joe Biden appears unable to take the win.
00:00:34.000And today we're going to discuss just why he appears unable to take the win.
00:00:38.000First, let's bring you the latest from America's college campuses, which continue to be overrun by people who despise the West.
00:00:45.000Understand, they don't hate America because they hate Israel.
00:00:48.000They hate Israel because they hate America.
00:00:50.000These are the same exact people who would be burning American flags and are the same exact people who would divest from the United States if they could and are attempting to do so.
00:00:59.000This is just the latest iteration of a radical movement that began in the 1960s and has continued unabated until today.
00:01:06.000The only difference that now, they're all in the administration as well, so what you end up with is faculty and administrators taking the side of the nutjob protesters who are currently occupying the centers of campus and shutting down commencements.
00:01:18.000So, for example, over at the University of Pennsylvania, again, a very prestigious school, Penn students were harassing other Penn students as they crossed the campus.
00:01:26.000Obviously, it's Jewish students who are being harassed over at University of Pennsylvania.
00:01:46.000These are pro-Israel students who are being hit with a strobe flashlight as they walk across the campus in order to be harassed.
00:01:52.000And in the background you see the giant Palestinian flag and of course all of these jackasses are covering their faces with the keffiyeh.
00:02:00.000This person has committed the grave sin of being a Jew at the University of Pennsylvania.
00:02:03.000Or take UCLA, where a bunch of atheist lesbians decided to join in the Islamic prayer on the lawn at UCLA.
00:02:10.000This is the first religious conversion for these atheistic dolts that I've ever seen.
00:02:18.000So en masse, they are joining now with intolerability with people who legitimately believe in Sharia law and believe that women should be subjugated and not go to school.
00:02:29.000And should be whipped if they do not obey particular aspects of Islamic law.
00:02:34.000But you've got the atheistic blue hair contingent who are now bowing in Islamic prayer with these people.
00:02:40.000Again, the red-green alliance is riding together here.
00:03:16.000What you have here is a bunch of blue-haired gender studies college students who are kneeling in obeisance to radical Islam in solidarity with Hamas.
00:03:26.000Meanwhile, over at MIT, protesters were chanting, Well, they've got rhythm.
00:03:29.000Zionists and Palestine will be Arab in Arabic.
00:04:34.000So now, NYU students are propping up talk for the DPRK, which again, would be Kim Jong-un and the North Korean regime that keeps its people in a state of penury, poverty, and absolute tyranny.
00:04:47.000These are the people who are rallying on America's college campuses.
00:04:50.000At George Washington University, students decided to take over the main square at the campus and rename it Martyrs Square.
00:04:56.000The martyrs they're referring to here are Palestinian terrorists.
00:05:00.000We reject the terms that our imperialist, colonialist overlords have chosen for us.
00:05:43.000Again, this is all at America's college campuses.
00:05:45.000Meanwhile, the administrations and the faculty at these universities continue to cave to these students, to these radical students.
00:05:52.000And as we'll discuss in just one second, this is not happening in a vacuum.
00:05:54.000These are very well-organized protests and very well-funded protests.
00:05:58.000And it's that last part that is going to make a big difference when we get to Joe Biden, who is happy to wink and nod at these people, pat them on the head.
00:06:05.000Because the same people who are signing checks to the Resistance groups on campus, so to speak, are also signing texts to Joe Biden's campaign.
00:06:13.000We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:06:15.000First, once again, PeerTalk is investing in their customers with their own money and without charging you an extra penny.
00:06:20.000I am pleased to announce that PeerTalk is now providing international roaming to over 50 countries.
00:06:24.000As you plan your summer travel, make sure your wireless provider has you covered at home and abroad.
00:06:28.000PeerTalk already puts you on America's most dependable 5G network.
00:06:31.000Now they're offering coverage in over 50 countries as well.
00:06:34.000Enjoy the freedom of unlimited talk, text, and ample 5G data for just $20 a month with Pure Talk.
00:06:39.000This is a deal that's hard to beat, costing you less than half of what you'd pay with other networks.
00:07:16.000Columbia University announced on Monday morning that they would cancel their two main commencement ceremonies after the school began suspending protesters who refused to leave their encampment in protest of the war in Gaza and really in protest at Israel.
00:07:27.000Do you understand the insane lack of moral clarity that it takes in order to be on the side of Hamas in this conflict?
00:07:36.000Israel was attacked on October 7th after 20 years of withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
00:07:42.000Hamas proceeded to murder 1,200 people and take 250 hostages.
00:07:46.000They are currently holding 133 hostages.
00:07:50.000Probably only a few dozen of those people are alive.
00:07:53.000Five Americans are being held hostage.
00:07:55.000And these people are like, maybe Israel shouldn't exist.
00:07:59.000We need a Palestinian state governed by, say, Hamas or the Palestinian Authority, which supports October 7th.
00:08:05.000According to Axios now, of course, all the administrators and the faculty at these universities are backers of all of this.
00:08:10.000Again, the only reason to do this is because you hate the West, and this is just the most pure iteration of hating the West.
00:08:15.000If you can side with actual honest-to-God terrorists who attack Western allies, I don't know what else to say about that other than you hate the West, because clearly you do.
00:08:23.000Again, the great danger at a college and university these days is not in carrying a Palestinian flag or wearing a Hamas headdress.
00:08:30.000The great danger at a university these days is walking through an area occupied by these people carrying an American flag.
00:08:36.000But all the administrators are caving.
00:08:37.000So at Columbia, they are now canceling commencements.
00:08:40.000Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street Journal, more university professors are joining the demonstrations, roiling college campuses, both to voice support for Gazans and to defend their students' right to protest.
00:08:48.000Faculty, many of whom are in their 60s and 70s and came of age during the era of the Vietnam War protests.
00:08:53.000Again, these are the early iteration of the blue hairs.
00:08:55.000They just didn't have the ability to dye their hair back in 1968 in as easy a way as they can today.
00:09:04.000And they're close to death, but they're still the college administrators and faculty.
00:09:09.000They're pushing back against university presidents, accusing the leaders of heavy-handed, inconsistent crackdowns on free speech, warning against a wave of authoritarianism.
00:09:16.000Some have said it has been creeping onto the campuses for years.
00:09:18.000Again, these are the chief proponents of authoritarianism on campus.
00:09:22.000They're literally violating the law right now in order to take over public areas.
00:09:27.000These are the same exact people who had organized In order to try to bar me from speaking at college campuses, and now they're like it's authoritarian in order to clear unlicensed protests at college campuses that have not gone through the proper channels.
00:09:41.000In recent days, police have arrested professors during demonstrations at schools including Washington U in St.
00:09:49.000At Indiana, more than 3,000 faculty, grad workers, students, staff, and alumni have called for the resignation of President Pamela Witton, saying she escalated confrontations between demonstrators and police by changing the rules of engagement for protesters at an encampment without adequately informing the campus.
00:10:04.000Witton said, quote, Now, here is the part of all of this that people ought to pay attention to.
00:10:07.000campaigns and become magnets for those making threats of violence.
00:10:10.000Okay, now here is the part of all of this that people ought to pay attention to.
00:10:19.000And it is the organization here and the funding here that really matter, because
00:10:24.000there's an obvious question in all of this.
00:10:26.000If you poll Americans as to whether they're sympathetic to the moron privileged college students who are going to America's top colleges and universities, subsidized by the taxpayer dime, are they sympathetic to these people cheering for Hamas?
00:10:37.000The overwhelming majority of Americans say no.
00:10:40.000The overwhelming majority of Americans say if you're a foreign student, And you are protesting in favor of Hamas.
00:10:45.000You should be deported because Hamas is a terrorist group.
00:10:48.000The majority of Americans are not interested in subsidizing queer studies majors who are out protesting in favor of people who commit terrorist attacks.
00:11:11.000And again, that is a two-pronged message that needs to come from the White House.
00:11:15.000So far, they've done the second, which is if they violate the law, something has to happen to them.
00:11:18.000But I promise you that if these protesters were protesting for quote-unquote, white supremacy, Joe Biden would have no problem whatsoever condemning the message of the protest, but he won't.
00:11:26.000And he's even having trouble condemning the actual protesters themselves, even though again, they are incredibly well-organized.
00:11:33.000Not just in spite of their organization, by the way, because they are well-organized.
00:11:37.000According to the Wall Street Journal, The recent wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses came on suddenly and shocked people across the nation.
00:11:44.000But the political tactics underlying some of the demonstrations were the result of months of training, planning, and encouragement by longtime activists and left-wing groups.
00:11:54.000And this is the typical way that the left works.
00:11:55.000They've been into community organizing since the 1960s in Salt-O-Linsky.
00:11:59.000There's a reason Barack Obama was a community organizer.
00:12:01.000There's a reason that in the 1960s, large-scale college organizations were able to push the Democratic Party way to the left.
00:12:08.000There's a reason they had extremely well-organized protesters, well-funded protesters during BLM.
00:12:16.000Agitation is an actual business to them.
00:12:18.000It is not like the Republicans, when they get together for a tea party, or even conservatives or Republicans, Who believe the election was stolen in 2020 when they sort of randomly get together on January 6th and in a disorganized, ridiculous way attempt to move into the Capitol building.
00:12:38.000This is, in fact, an army of activists that has been generated by actual funding and actual staffing.
00:12:44.000Sueda Polat, a graduate student and organizer in a pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia, said,
00:12:48.000quote, we took notes from our elders, engaged in dialogue with them, analyzed how the university
00:12:52.000responded to previous protests. The National Students for Justice in Palestine, or NSJP,
00:12:57.000which is currently under lawsuit for having links to Hamas, has been around some two decades and
00:13:01.000has more than 300 chapters across the United States, many of which have helped organize
00:13:05.000the college encampments and building occupations.
00:13:07.000NSJP has for months called on students to stand strong against colleges until they divest themselves of investments in entities doing business with Israel.
00:13:15.000As early as October, NSJP was promoting a day of resistance with demonstrations at colleges.
00:13:21.000On April 25th, they said the student movement for Palestine liberation will not be silenced, will escalate until our demands are met.
00:13:28.000That same day on X, the group posted drawings with friendly advice to protesting students.
00:13:32.000One suggested they wear comfortable clothes and running shoes and bring water, an energy bar, and a bandana in case of surveillance.
00:13:37.000Another referred to police as pigs and offered this advice, quote, if someone is arrested, don't linger too long or pigs will kettle the march.
00:13:46.000Free the comrade or else get their name and birthdate for jail support and keep it moving.
00:13:50.000On April 29th, the group announced a new chant, no divestment, no commencement.
00:13:54.000University administrators have been concerned that coming graduations could be interrupted, and so they've just been canceling the commencements, as opposed to, you know, arresting the people who are disrupting the commencements.
00:14:03.000In March, there was a resistance 101 training scheduled at Columbia with guest speakers, including longtime activists with Samidun, Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
00:14:13.000It turns out that that group has links, again, with terror groups.
00:14:18.000One of the speakers, a Charlotte Cates, said quote, there is nothing wrong with being a member of Hamas, being a leader of Hamas, being a fighter in Hamas.
00:14:24.000These are people that are on the front lines defending Hamas.
00:14:29.000These are well-organized, well-drilled, well-schooled activists.

00:15:55.000Joe Biden is not going to cut off his funders.
00:15:58.000Joe Biden is being paid by the same people who are paying for these protests.
00:16:02.000This is why Jonathan Shaid, who's on the left, He has a piece over at New York Magazine talking about how Joe Biden is running for the wrong voters, that in Michigan, he is not losing Michigan because of the Gaza issue.
00:16:14.000He is losing Michigan because of inflation.
00:16:18.000As Jonathan Chait points out, earlier this year, national pundits began connecting Joe Biden's poor standing in the presidential election with the revolt on his left over his policy in Gaza.
00:16:26.000Michigan was the epicenter of the crisis.
00:16:28.000Polls seem to indicate Biden's unpopularity was especially acute there.
00:16:31.000There is no longer any evidence this is true.
00:16:34.000The polling average shows that far from having a Michigan problem, Michigan is Biden's best swing state, or at least his least bad one.
00:16:40.000At the moment, he's trailing by 0.3 points in Michigan, a smaller deficit than Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or the Sunbelt states.
00:16:48.000Yet even though Biden turns out not to have a specific Michigan problem, the broader narrative has calcified.
00:16:54.000It's true that Biden is disproportionately shunning non-white Democrats to Trump, but that is totally consistent with the fact that black and Latino Democrats are more moderate than white Democrats.
00:17:24.000He is being paid by the same exact people.
00:17:26.000His campaign is being funded by the same exact people who are funding all of these protests.
00:17:30.000As Politico points out, the donors include some of the biggest names in democratic circles, George Soros, Rockefeller, Pritzker, according to a political analysis.
00:17:38.000Two of the organizers supporting the protests at Columbia University and on other campuses are Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now.
00:17:44.000These are both radical groups and they're both supported by the Tides Foundation, seeded by George Soros, and was previously supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
00:17:55.000The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said it no longer has active grants to Tides and does not support JVP, or if not now, David Rockefeller Jr.
00:18:02.000sits on the board of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in 2022.
00:18:05.000The fund gave $300,000 to the Tides Foundation.
00:18:08.000Tides has given $500,000 over the past five years to Jewish Voice for Peace, which explicitly describes itself as anti-Zionist.
00:18:14.000Jewish Voice for Peace is a front group that is directly aimed at destroying the State of Israel.
00:18:19.000with a few nutters in the reconstructionist Jewish movement or unaffiliated who bring out their as a Jew card every so often so that they can say terribly anti-semitic things and then people will ignore that they're saying terribly anti-semitic things.
00:18:33.000Several other groups are involved in the pro-Palestinian protests and are backed by a foundation funded by Susan and Nick Pritzker heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire.
00:18:41.000and supporters of the Biden and numerous Democratic campaigns,
00:18:43.000including 6,600 bucks to the Biden Victory Fund a few months ago and more than 300 grand
00:18:48.000during the 2020 campaign. So why exactly are all of these funds giving money to JVP?
00:18:59.000The answer is because the left believes that these are the leaders of the future, just as the old crazies took over the campuses in the 60s and then became the powerhouses and the administrators and the faculty.
00:19:10.000Well, now they are hoping to build a new Democratic Party on the back of the radicals.
00:19:16.000And Joe Biden is too weak to actually do anything about it, which is, again, political malpractice, because you can see that nobody likes these people.
00:19:23.000At University of Michigan, for example, they held a graduation over the weekend.
00:19:27.000And pro-Hamas protesters showed up to try and disrupt.
00:19:30.000And here was the crowd's response when those protesters were moved.
00:20:05.000As proof of this, Mitch Landrieu, who is the Biden National Co-Chair, was asked specifically on national TV over the weekend about distancing himself from protesters.
00:20:14.000Joe Biden distancing himself from the protesters and he wouldn't do it.
00:20:18.000You see different campuses handling this in a different way, and finally you see some campuses doing this better than others.
00:20:24.000The president has been very strong about this from the beginning.
00:20:27.000And the president came out the other day, and as he said, as he has always said, he understands that people have a right to protest, but they have to do so peacefully.
00:20:35.000But when it turns violent, that's when things have to end.
00:20:37.000You're going to have a university president on after you have me on.
00:20:41.000Um, and they're going to continue to work through this.
00:20:43.000But the President's been very clear about this.
00:20:44.000He's also been very strong about the need to stamp out anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
00:20:49.000It's a very difficult time, very passionate opinions on both sides of this issue.
00:20:54.000The President has been handling it, I think, very, very well, and he's going to continue to do so.
00:20:59.000Okay, so he won't distance himself from the protesters.
00:21:01.000By handling this very well, it's hard to imagine Joe Biden handling this worse.
00:21:05.000And by polling data, everyone is unsatisfied with Joe Biden.
00:21:08.000In fact, one of the funniest clips from these college campuses at UCLA, a bunch of people who are pro-Hamas and a bunch of people who are pro-Israel were standing across a lot shouting at each other.
00:21:17.000And then somebody on the pro-Israel side started shouting, F Joe Biden.
00:21:22.000And then everybody on the pro-Hamas side started shouting, F Joe Biden.
00:21:25.000And so everyone on both sides are shouting F Joe Biden.
00:21:28.000Because it turns out when you don't take a clear moral stance, no one likes you.
00:21:31.000They think that you're a coward, because you are.
00:21:35.000And by the way, that cowardice is going to actually have deadly consequences.
00:21:38.000We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:21:39.000First, new estimates show that more than a million babies were killed by abortion in 2023, the highest number of abortions since 2012.
00:21:46.000Despite the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, this has actually only made the abortion pill more readily available.
00:21:51.000When they shout abortion, we shout life.
00:21:53.000We have to fight back against this evil.
00:21:55.000Well, we do it by joining hands with Preborn, the largest pro-life organization in the country that sponsors ultrasounds for clinics in the highest abortion areas.
00:22:02.000When a mom considering abortion meets her baby on ultrasound, here's the heartbeat, it changes her life and doubles the baby's chance at life as well.
00:22:38.000The IDF made clear, the Israeli Defense Forces made clear, that they are going into Rafa.
00:22:43.000This happened after four Israeli soldiers were killed and ten were hurt inside Israel by a Hamas rocket attack from Rafa.
00:22:51.000So while the rest of the world is trying to protect Hamas in Rafa, claiming that Israel will cause a humanitarian crisis, Hamas literally attacked a staging ground for humanitarian aid.
00:23:01.000So Israel set up at Kerim Shalom Crossing, Which is on the border of Rafah.
00:23:06.000They set up a gateway to get humanitarian aid into Rafah.
00:23:26.000It is their goal in life for both Palestinians and Jews to die.
00:23:31.000Jews to die, ideally, but if it turns out they're militarily inferior, then get Palestinians killed in order so you can blame the Jews and turn world opinion against the Jews in Israel.
00:23:40.000That is Hamas's entire goal and the West is idiotic and so many people on the West, particularly on the left, are falling for it because they are stupid people.
00:23:48.000You have to be a moron to believe that Hamas is seeking some sort of peaceful off-ramp while holding Israeli hostages, while firing rockets at humanitarian aid convoys, which is what Hamas does.
00:24:01.000Hamas literally fired mortars at the pier that the United States is building in the Mediterranean last week.
00:24:08.000They are literally stealing all of the humanitarian aid coming in.
00:24:25.000And they're selling back the surplus to the Palestinians who need the food.
00:24:31.000So over the weekend, Hamas, in a demonstration of just how peaceful they are and how they really want to ceasefire now, they killed four Israeli soldiers with a rocket attack again on a gateway for humanitarian aid.
00:24:46.000Most of the rockets struck an area where troops were gathered on the border not far from the Kerem Shalom border crossing, which again, has been used according to the Times of Israel to deliver thousands of truckloads of humanitarian aid to Gaza amid the war.
00:24:56.000And the United States, again, because when you make diplomacy a goal rather than a means, you end up doing PR work for the bad guys.
00:25:05.000This is the outcome of the Iran deal under Obama.
00:25:07.000Once the deal was made and diplomacy was the highest goal, then it became the United States' job to pretend that Iran was complying with a deal that was clearly violating.
00:25:15.000And now America's doing the same thing with regard to Hamas.
00:25:18.000So Israel keeps going back to Hamas and giving more and more and more concessions.
00:25:22.000And Hamas keeps refusing because what they really want is for Israel to just leave the Gaza Strip and give it back to Hamas so they can declare victory, which of course Israel can never do.
00:25:30.000So the United States continues to try to push Israel.
00:26:13.000The international community again playing defense for Hamas as always.
00:26:18.000They are talking about how it's unacceptable for Israel to go into Rafah.
00:26:20.000Apparently it's acceptable for Hamas to continue to hold Rafah.
00:26:26.000Meanwhile, Netanyahu and Joe Biden are expected to speak as Israel prepares the offensive.
00:26:32.000The CIA chief, William Burns, is in Jerusalem to meet with Netanyahu and war leadership.
00:26:36.000So simultaneously, the Biden administration is saying that Israel has made very generous offers.
00:26:39.000Also, Israel should give away all leverage by never going into Rafah is, I guess, the idea.
00:26:45.000So Israel has been prepping the invasion in the middle of Israel prepping this final step in the war.
00:26:51.000The United States, according to Barak Ravid, who's the stenographer for Jake Sullivan and the national security apparatus of the Biden administration, over at Axios.
00:26:59.000They literally just call him and he writes whatever they want him to write.
00:27:02.000He says that apparently the Biden administration put a hold on a shipment of US-made ammunition to Israel in the middle of this.
00:27:08.000Despite the fact that the United States Congress overwhelmingly passed foreign aid to both Ukraine and Israel, as well as Taiwan, as well as banning foreign ownership of TikTok, Joe Biden is now attempting to slow walk the aid to Israel in the middle of an attempt to finish the war.
00:27:24.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:27:26.000It's a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:27:29.000GCU believes our creator has endowed us with certain unalienable rights.

00:27:58.000Behind the scenes, according to Axios, last Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel and had a tough conversation with Netanyahu regarding a possible Israeli operation in Rafah.
00:28:08.000Blinken told Netanyahu during their meeting a major military operation in Rafah would lead to the U.S.
00:28:12.000publicly opposing it and would negatively impact U.S.-Israel relations.
00:28:17.000Now, of course, that's been true for a long time.
00:28:20.000Once the Biden administration idiotically started suggesting that they had conditions for Israel going into RAFA, that Israel would have to hit particular goals in order to present a military plan that would be acceptable to the United States, they were never going to greenlight the operation, ever.
00:28:32.000Because the minute they greenlight it, the Biden administration owns it.
00:28:35.000So, of course, they're going to claim they oppose the RAFA move.
00:28:39.000But if Israel has no leverage to go into RAFA, they ain't getting back their hostages.
00:28:44.000If the United States says you have nothing to trade, then Israel has nothing to trade, if Israel took that seriously.
00:28:51.000So Israel's saying, no, you know, we're going in anyway.
00:28:54.000Israel Minister of Defense, Yav Galant, visited Israeli military forces in Gaza on Saturday, said Israel sees, quote, worrying signals.
00:29:01.000Hamas is not going to move toward an agreement on releasing the hostages.
00:29:05.000So the Biden administration is now delaying ammunition shipments.
00:29:10.000A White House national security spokesperson declined to confirm the report.
00:29:13.000Now, at this point, I'd like to point out that when there was a president named Donald Trump, and he was slow-walking aid to Ukraine in 2019-2020, the Democrats decided that this was an impeachable offense.
00:29:25.000This violated the so-called Impound Control Act.
00:29:31.000The Impound Control Act of 1974 suggests that when Congress allocates money for a particular funding apparatus, the executive branch is duty-bound to actually go spend the money.
00:29:41.000And there are only certain conditions under which you can hold back the money.
00:29:44.000Those conditions include informing Congress.
00:29:48.000The Biden administration did not do that.
00:29:50.000Now, when the Trump administration didn't do that with regard to Ukraine, at that point, a watchdog suggested that federal law had been violated.
00:30:02.000According to the OMB, they had said that the money was designated by Congress pending a policy decision.
00:30:11.000The 1974 law does not permit the OMB to withhold funds for policy reasons, which meant, according to Chris Van Hollen, Democrat from Maryland, that this was impeachable.
00:30:22.000He said we now have a GAO, General Accounting Office, decision stating conclusively the Trump administration violated the law.
00:30:27.000We know the president ordered the violation of that law.
00:30:30.000But when Joe Biden slow walks aid to Israel in the middle of all of this, in violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 74, then apparently it's totally fine, according to the Democrats.
00:30:41.000That's the way that all of this works.
00:30:43.000And there's only one reason that Joe Biden is doing that.
00:30:46.000And this is because he wants the money from the same donors who are supporting the protesters.
00:30:51.000And because he believes that those protesters are somehow going to spur him to victory.
00:30:56.000They're going to vote for Cornel West and Jill Stein.
00:30:58.000And Joe Biden is a fool to believe that he's going to convince them back into voting for him, rather than voting for these third-party candidates.
00:31:05.000Do you think any of these protests are going to be door-knocking for Joe Biden?
00:31:09.000All these protesters are going to be the ones at the DNC in Chicago who are screaming and shouting outside the convention hall.
00:31:15.000And unlike in 68, when the mayor of Chicago, Daley, decided to clear the street, this time you're going to have Mayor Brandon Johnson probably joining the protesters outside.
00:31:26.000Now all of this has been in the works for a very long time in the Democratic Party.
00:31:29.000The slow shift in the Democratic Party away from a pro-Israel and frankly pro-America position.
00:31:36.000It really gained steam during the Obama administration.
00:31:39.000At the 2012 convention, very famously, there was a proposal to remove from the democratic platform a provision saying that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel.
00:31:50.000That proposal to remove that plank from the platform was, in fact, approved by a voice vote on the floor.
00:31:56.000Antonio Villaraigosa, who was running the DNC at the time in 2012, literally overruled the voice vote.
00:32:01.000He just kind of just said, the eyes have it in terms of retaining the platform.
00:32:37.000In fact, there were reports last week that Sinwar, who's the military head of Hamas, the designer of October 7th, Has literally been hiding behind hostages.
00:32:46.000Apparently something like 15 of the hostages have been directly placed around Sinwar, so that if Israel goes in, he will kill the hostages.
00:32:54.000Those are the people the Biden administration is currently negotiating with.
00:32:57.000All this is part and parcel of a wild left-wing agenda the Democratic Party is beginning to embrace wholesale.
00:33:03.000We'll get to more on that in just one second.
00:33:05.000First, a very special message from our old friend Adam Carolla.
00:35:05.000So what that means is that they're just going to keep rebranding it.
00:35:08.000So, for example, DEI, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
00:35:13.000Our friend Chris Rufo has done an amazing job exposing DEI, among others.
00:35:17.000Obviously, we've been talking about DEI for a very long time on the show.
00:35:20.000DEI is a terrible ideology that suggests that any sense of victimization, so long as you're unsuccessful, is justified.
00:35:28.000And that it is the system that has, in fact, victimized you.
00:35:31.000That if a group is disproportionately unsuccessful in a particular field, and that group is not white Christian males, then that group must have been victimized by the system.
00:35:41.000And the more successful you are as a group, by the way, that means you've now joined the victimizers.
00:35:45.000So if you're Asian-American on a college campus, you're now a white Christian male.
00:35:48.000If you're a Jew, you're now a white Christian male as well, so long as you are successful in the system.
00:35:53.000You've now joined the superstructure of white supremacy, according to the left.
00:35:57.000It's a pretty ugly ideology, and now DI has come under proper fire.
00:36:02.000Well now, DEI, it's undergoing a rebrand.
00:36:12.000As Christopher Caldwell wrote in The Age of Entitlement, the complete second constitution that was written in the 1960s with regard to the Civil Rights Act, which completely rejiggered the relationship between the federal government and the individual for some good reasons and some very bad reasons.
00:36:31.000That constitutional overturning ended with DEI being embedded in every aspect of American life.
00:36:37.000Anti-discrimination laws across the country that are designed to hamper private contract and private viewpoints.
00:36:45.000The kind of stuff that we are seeing from Title VI on college campuses.
00:36:48.000There are some people who I think are misguidedly trying to broaden that out or grant greater powers to the Department of Education on Title VI grounds, as opposed to just defunding these colleges entirely, which is really what should happen.
00:37:01.000So, what are all these corporations doing?
00:37:03.000Well, they're still afraid of the legal liability.
00:37:04.000They're still afraid they're going to get sued under the Civil Rights Act, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
00:37:08.000So they're not going to make DEI go away.
00:37:10.000They're just going to call it something different.
00:37:11.000According to the Washington Post, amid growing legal, social, and political backlash, American businesses, industry groups, and employment professionals are quietly scrubbing DEI from public view.
00:37:20.000They're not necessarily abandoning its practice.
00:37:23.000As they rebrand programs and hot-button acronyms, they're reassessing decades-old anti-discrimination strategies and rewriting policies that once emphasized race and gender to prioritize inclusion for all.
00:37:33.000So instead of getting rid of DEI, they're going to say it applies to everybody.
00:37:43.000According to the Washington Post, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., chief executive of the Society for Human Resource Management, said practitioners of DEI and its antecedents traditionally have focused on improving representation for a historically marginalized group, believing the magic bullet was diversity.
00:37:57.000We underestimated that inclusion was the real challenge, Taylor said.
00:38:00.000Now people are saying, not only should we probably call it something different, we should probably evolve it.
00:38:05.000So what exactly does that evolution look like?
00:38:09.000I mean, it looks like exactly the same thing.
00:38:12.000He said some practitioners and executives dismissed the rebrand as superficial.
00:38:17.000A growing number of companies are either listing DEI as a risk factor in shareholder reports or removing mentions of diversity goals outright.
00:38:23.000But that doesn't mean they're going to stop doing what they are doing.
00:38:27.000Eric Ellis, CEO of Integrity Development, which is a DEI consultancy, he says he expects the language to keep changing in response to public attacks.
00:38:37.000So instead, they're just going to keep doing the same things, but they're going to call it something else.
00:38:41.000The only answer, of course, is to dismantle the DEI infrastructure completely.
00:39:07.000It ends with a view that, again, the superstructure of the West needs to be torn down, which is precisely why in the UK, for example, you now have candidates who are winning, who are openly in favor of Sharia law and Hamas.
00:39:21.000British Green Party candidate Motheen Ali, according to Israel Hayom, he won the Gipton and Hare Hells seat in Leeds with about 3,000 votes, proclaimed his election was a win for the people of Gaza.
00:39:31.000After the results were announced, he shouted, "'Allahu Akbar!' Supporters unfurled a Palestinian flag behind him.
00:39:40.000Allahu Akbar!' He was not alone in tying his success to the Palestinian struggle.
00:39:44.000Numerous other candidates running on a pro-Palestinian platform also defeated their rivals across Britain.
00:39:49.000In Walsall, Nahid Zohra, Gul Tasibhas celebrated by saying, "'This is for Gaza.
00:39:54.000This is for Palestine.' Ahmed Yacoub of West Midland secured approximately 20% of votes in his constituency on a pro-Palestinian platform as well.
00:40:03.000The oppositional Labour Party lost over 10% of its support in some areas to the pro-Palestinian candidates.
00:40:10.000Chris Hopkins, political research director, said, Labor's vote is falling away in some Muslim areas.
00:40:14.000It shows the party has plenty of work to do among some communities
00:40:17.000over its response to the conflict in Gaza.
00:40:19.000Again, it's all part of the same broad rubric.
00:40:22.000Groups that are disproportionately successful must be victims of the West.
00:40:27.000Now, I will say, all of this is going to breed backlash, and the backlash is going to be very strong.
00:40:32.000You're seeing it on college campuses right now, with the bros.
00:40:36.000Clapping for the- applause for the bros, who are standing up with American flags at these pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas protests, and singing the Star Spangled Banner, and then being ripped by the media for their trouble.
00:40:46.000But this is going to have some pretty widespread consequences, not just electorally in places like the United States, but also in Europe.
00:40:51.000The media in the United States, they're beside themselves because what they are seeing is that it turns out that allowing tens of millions over the last couple of decades of predominantly Muslim immigrants into European countries and creating areas that are effectively radical hotbeds for pro-Hamas viewpoints.
00:41:15.000It turns out that that's not very good for Europe and a lot of people don't like it very much.
00:41:19.000And it's resulting in an anti-immigration backlash in a bunch of countries across Europe.
00:41:24.000And that anti-immigration backlash is causing serious pressure on the EU.
00:41:28.000Because, of course, it is the EU that has allowed free border crossing in particular areas.
00:41:33.000And then, if you're a member of the EU, then there's free transit between all these countries.
00:41:38.000So, the New York Times has a piece titled, Now, I gotta say, I do love that the left has now decided that the word democracy does not mean rule by popular vote.
00:41:46.000to democracy are now mainstream. Now, I gotta say, I do love that the left has now decided
00:41:51.000that the word democracy does not mean rule by popular vote.
00:41:54.000Democracy now means stuff the left likes. This is how, for example, you have people on the
00:42:00.000left in the United States, for example, just to talk about the misuse of the word democracy,
00:42:05.000suggesting that the overturning of Roe versus Wade is somehow a defeat for democracy.
00:42:08.000So Hakeem Jeffries, for example, he said this over the weekend.
00:42:11.000He said that when Roe fell, it was a defeat for democracy, which is using democracy in a unique way.
00:42:16.000If the idea is kicking back a policy to the voters, that is somehow anti-democracy.
00:42:21.000He doesn't know what the word democracy means.
00:42:25.000How big of an issue will abortion rights be this election year?
00:42:30.000It's going to be an incredibly significant issue, because on its own, it's about freedom.
00:42:38.000And the extreme right Republicans have set in motion the erosion of reproductive freedom.
00:42:45.000We're going to fight for it with everything that we've got at our disposal.
00:42:52.000If Roe v. Wade can fall, Anything can fall.
00:43:05.000And God help us all, but democracy itself can fall.
00:43:10.000You may notice that none of the things that he just talked about, with the exception of voting rights, have anything to do with democracy.
00:43:15.000So again, for the left, the word democracy just means stuff I like.
00:43:18.000So the New York Times has an entire piece about Europe talking about how populist parties on the right, which are anti-immigration, they're a threat to democracy.
00:43:24.000As opposed to, you know, importing millions of people from areas of the world that generally despise the West.
00:43:32.000It's more of a threat to democracy to have people voting to, you know, maintain their own cultures.
00:43:36.000That's a real threat to democracy, according to the New York Times.
00:43:39.000Quote, Across Europe, the far-right is becoming the right, absent
00:43:42.000any compelling message from traditional conservative parties.
00:43:45.000Not only have the parties of an anti-immigration right surged, they have seen the barriers
00:43:48.000that once kept them out crumble as they are absorbed into the arc of Western democracies.
00:43:52.000And they named Giorgio Malone to the Prime Minister of Italy, who supposedly was going
00:43:57.000to impose fascist rule in Italy and didn't do it.
00:43:59.000And then there's Sweden, where the center-right government depends on the fast-growing Sweden Democrats.
00:44:03.000Or the Netherlands, where Gert Wilders, who has been very anti-Islamic immigration for literally decades, won the national elections in November.
00:44:14.000Where Jordan Bardell, president of National Rally, is leading his party's campaign for the elections in June to the European Parliament.
00:44:19.000Again, it turns out that even the Europeans, as weak as they are, they also don't like the sort of multicultural DEI principles being applied in their countries.
00:44:30.000If the left wishes to embrace full-scale the mentality, We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:44:43.000First, everyone thinks mortgage rates are extremely high.
00:47:23.000Apparently he's joined the dark side by this outfit.
00:47:27.000I'm not sure who told him this was a good combo, but here we go.
00:47:31.000I just wanted to say I was honored to be asked to come to the White House to meet The president?
00:47:40.000The most legislative, successful president in my lifetime.
00:47:45.000And, you know, I don't have to go through the list of bipartisan infrastructure, law, the PACT Act, the Chips Act, all that, inflation, 15 million jobs.
00:48:03.000And all these people, my goodness, you know, I mean, I have no idea I had no idea just what went into what is on his plate on a daily basis.
00:48:36.000Well, Christy Noem, who was at one point considered a vice-presidential candidate, it turns out that she spent the last two weeks claiming that it was good to shoot a puppy, like a 14-month-old dog.
00:49:05.000In fact, at the end of the book, you say the very first thing you would do if you got to the White House that was different from Joe Biden is you'd make sure Joe Biden's dog was nowhere on the grounds.
00:49:57.000I was pretty pro-Christy Noem during COVID, but it's when you start shooting the dogs that apparently there's another chapter of her book that is titled, Bad Day to Be a Goat, where she kills a goat.
00:50:10.000So, I mean, I, listen, I would watch a nature show with Christy Noem, just like hunting, I guess.
00:50:16.000But I don't know when this became like a, is the pathway to political power?
00:50:20.000I remember when Sarah Palin was running for VP and she's like, yeah, I was shooting moose from a helicopter.
00:50:24.000Like, you know, I feel like being good at being governor, like, is that, when did that go out of style for the Republican Party?
00:51:23.000As soon as it was brought to my attention, we went forward and have made some edits.
00:51:28.000So I'm glad that this book is being released in a couple of days and that those edits will be in place and that people will have the updated version.
00:51:44.000I think I've talked extensively in this book about my time serving in Congress, my time as governor, before governor, some of the travels that I've had.
00:51:53.000I'm not going to talk about my specific meetings with world leaders.
00:52:20.000Already coming up, it's Mr. Bircham Week!
00:52:22.000The new Daily Wire Plus animated series is coming out this Sunday, May 12th.
00:52:26.000Mr. Bircham has been an unapologetic old-school junior high school woodshop teacher who refuses to conform to the ever-increasing demands of DEI.
00:52:33.000We'll be having members of the cast join the show over the next two weeks, starting today with Megyn Kelly.
00:52:36.000If you're not a member, become a member.
