The Ben Shapiro Show - Harris COLLAPSES On National Television…AGAIN

00:00:00.000 Well, folks, we are just 39 days away from the most consequential election of our lifetimes.

00:00:04.000 The race is still a dead heat.

00:00:06.000 Legacy Media aren't gonna tell you the truth.

00:00:07.000 We will.

00:00:08.000 At Daily Wire, plus we cut through the lies and deliver real, unfiltered news every single day.

00:00:12.000 Join us as we fight the left and build the future.

00:00:17.000 So I'm gonna get to everything election-related in a moment.

00:00:19.000 First, the breaking news overnight is that Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, has now been indicted on federal criminal charges.

00:00:25.000 We don't actually know what exactly is in that indictment.

00:00:28.000 It has been sealed.

00:00:29.000 At this point, Mayor Adams put out a videotaped speech online late on Wednesday night and he said that all the charges against him would be entirely false and based on lies.

00:00:37.000 A bunch of people inside his administration have been resigning.

00:00:41.000 There have been ongoing investigations into corruption, allegations of money being passed.

00:00:45.000 Hand-to-hand allegations of switches in policy rooted in all of that.

00:00:49.000 We're gonna have to wait to see exactly what breaks down in terms of these charges.

00:00:53.000 All I can suggest to Mayor Adams is that he should immediately go and stab somebody on a New York subway station platform, and then he will immediately be released by the prosecution.

00:01:02.000 That's the way that you get out of crimes in New York City.

00:01:05.000 So, we'll bring you all the updates as they come in on Eric Adams.

00:01:09.000 Now, this race remains tight as a tick.

00:01:12.000 I honestly don't know who's going to win, and anyone who tells you they know who's going to win is lying to you.

00:01:18.000 I have some gut feelings.

00:01:19.000 I have some sort of ideas in my head as to who I think is going to win.

00:01:24.000 And what I find throughout this election cycle, just on a very personal level, is that my head and my heart are very frequently in conflict.

00:01:29.000 So a few weeks ago, if you had asked me who was going to win, my head would have said Trump and my heart would have said Harris.

00:01:35.000 Because it felt as though the Trump campaign was not doing a good job.

00:01:39.000 It felt as though she had momentum.

00:01:41.000 And then in my head, I was looking at the fact that she was kind of stagnating in the polls and thinking to myself, well, she should be running away with this race. 0.98

00:01:47.000 And now I feel like the situation has sort of reversed, in which my head says that Kamala Harris has the advantage right now. 0.99

00:01:54.000 If you look at the polling data, she does have the advantage in a wide variety of swing states, although it is a minute advantage. 0.77

00:02:00.000 According to Nate Silver's estimate of who is favored to win, she has about a 55% chance at winning the Electoral College.

00:02:08.000 Which effectively means it's a dead heat.

00:02:10.000 The national polling right now is effectively even.

00:02:14.000 The Pennsylvania polling remains even.

00:02:16.000 She's ahead in Michigan, she's ahead a little bit in Wisconsin, and she's running behind in all the rest of the swing states.

00:02:22.000 Nevada is effectively dead even as well.

00:02:25.000 So, my head says that Harris is a little bit ahead today, and I know that Democrats are professionals at their get-out-the-vote machine, and they are perfectly willing to use every tool at their disposal in order to achieve high levels of

00:02:38.000 ballot harvesting, getting marginal voters to give them their ballots. I think they're going to

00:02:42.000 go to the college campuses and swamp those ballot harvesters and all the rest. So my head says that

00:02:48.000 she has tons of money. She's got a disciplined team that is going to go out there and grab 1.00

00:02:52.000 every vote they possibly can. And meanwhile, the Trump team is certainly less disciplined.

00:02:58.000 It is unclear what their get-out-the-vote effort looks like.

00:03:00.000 That's what my head says.

00:03:01.000 My heart is telling me something different.

00:03:02.000 My heart is telling me that there is something happening that is being missed by the polls.

00:03:08.000 Now, why do I say that?

00:03:09.000 The reason I say that is because when the polls are all mirroring each other this way, one of two things is happening.

00:03:14.000 Either the polls are all right, and every state right now is a dead heat.

00:03:17.000 Every single one.

00:03:19.000 Or what you have right now are pollsters who are constructing likely voter screens With a dead heat in mind.

00:03:26.000 In other words, they're kind of p-hacking the system.

00:03:28.000 So p-hacking is what people will do in the area of science in order to achieve bizarre results in their scientific papers to get them published.

00:03:35.000 So they'll get a set of results from some experiment.

00:03:37.000 It turns out that the set of results is not all that inspiring.

00:03:40.000 There's nothing there that's really of interest.

00:03:42.000 And so what do they do?

00:03:43.000 They do something where they play around with the internal statistics, they change the metrics, and suddenly they have a statistically significant result.

00:03:50.000 It's called p-hacking. 1.00

00:03:51.000 I think a lot of the polls are doing that right now.

00:03:53.000 When every single poll that I see from every single swing state says it's a dead heat, I start to think that pollsters are hedging their bets.

00:04:00.000 Because we're not seeing a lot of registered voter polls.

00:04:03.000 Registered voter polls are just the universe of possible voters.

00:04:06.000 How are they going to vote?

00:04:07.000 You're seeing a lot of likely voter polls.

00:04:09.000 Likely voter polls are reliant on the polling experts to tell you what they think the electorate is going to look like.

00:04:15.000 So what percentage of the electorate is going to be black this year?

00:04:18.000 What percentage of the electorate will be male?

00:04:21.000 What are the turnout models going to look like among single Hispanic females? 1.00

00:04:25.000 The problem with that, of course, is that you could theoretically p-hack that system.

00:04:29.000 You could start from the premise that the race is tied, and then you could go into the internals, and you could rejigger who you say is most likely to vote in order to achieve that end.

00:04:38.000 And when I see all the polls mirroring each other, it starts to make me a little suspicious that something else is going on.

00:04:44.000 So why does that lead me to believe that maybe Trump is ahead right now?

00:04:48.000 There are a couple of indicators, symptoms, and they may be entirely wrong.

00:04:53.000 But I think that they're saying something.

00:04:55.000 Two indicators.

00:04:56.000 One is a polling statistic and one is an activity.

00:05:00.000 The polling statistic right now.

00:05:02.000 That Teamsters Union poll shook me.

00:05:06.000 The Teamsters Union did a poll.

00:05:08.000 Months ago, Joe Biden versus Donald Trump.

00:05:11.000 And in that poll, Joe Biden outpaced Donald Trump 47 to 38.

00:05:15.000 Now, that was an amazing result for Joe Biden.

00:05:18.000 Typically, you would imagine that a Democrat would win that 60-40.

00:05:21.000 The Teamsters, of course, are a union.

00:05:22.000 Private sector unions tend to be more pro-Democrat.

00:05:25.000 Certainly the leadership is more pro-Democrat.

00:05:27.000 So surprising that Trump was even within spitting distance.

00:05:30.000 Then Biden dropped out and Harris jumped in.

00:05:33.000 And suddenly the polling of the Teamsters Union shifted 20 points in favor of Donald Trump.

00:05:39.000 Suddenly he was beating Kamala Harris 60 to 40.

00:05:42.000 It's like a 30 point move.

00:05:44.000 By the Teamsters Union.

00:05:45.000 Why is that?

00:05:46.000 Is it because Harris's policies are wildly different from those of Joe Biden?

00:05:49.000 I don't think so.

00:05:50.000 I don't think so.

00:05:51.000 If this is, indeed, as the Democrats wish it to be, a vibes election, I think there are a couple of things that have happened that shift the ground in favor of President Trump.

00:06:00.000 In favor of President Trump.

00:06:01.000 Thing number one, there was a taboo until about six months ago on people even saying they would vote for Donald Trump.

00:06:10.000 If you lived in a blue area or even a purple area, the mention of Donald Trump's name would send people, your friends and neighbors, into spasms of apoplexy unless you lived in a deep red area.

00:06:21.000 People would get really squeamish.

00:06:24.000 And then something happened.

00:06:25.000 Joe Biden collapsed on the stage and people started saying out loud, for the first time in years, that they might actually vote for Donald Trump.

00:06:31.000 The taboo was broken.

00:06:34.000 I know this because I'm in a bunch of chats with tech bros, for example, and in tech bro land, that was an unsayable thing.

00:06:40.000 Now it is kind of a sayable thing that you're thinking about voting for President Trump.

00:06:44.000 There were a lot of people in Silicon Valley who were secretly supporting Trump but wouldn't say it.

00:06:47.000 Well, now they're saying it out loud.

00:06:49.000 Another dirty secret of Silicon Valley is that using the internet without ExpressVPN, not safe.

00:06:54.000 It's like taking a call on a train on speaker for everybody to hear.

00:06:58.000 Most of the time it's totally fine.

00:06:59.000 And then somebody asks you for your credit card number and it's a problem.

00:07:02.000 Every time you go online, your ISP can see every single website you visit.

00:07:05.000 In today's America, they are legally allowed to sell that information to advertisers.

00:07:08.000 It's like handing over your browsing history to the highest bidder.

00:07:10.000 There is a simple solution.

00:07:11.000 ExpressVPN.

00:07:13.000 I use ExpressVPN every single day.

00:07:14.000 Here's why you should too.

00:07:15.000 First, it reroutes 100% of your traffic through secure encrypted servers.

00:07:19.000 That means your ISP can't see your browsing history.

00:07:21.000 It's like putting a blindfold on Big Tech.

00:07:23.000 Second, it's incredibly easy to use.

00:07:24.000 Just fire up that app, you click one button, and now you're protected.

00:07:27.000 Third, it works on all your devices.

00:07:29.000 Phones, laptops, tablets.

00:07:31.000 So, you can stay private whether you're at home or on the go.

00:07:33.000 I use ExpressVPN every day when I'm prepping for the show thanks to ExpressVPN.

00:07:37.000 I know my data's secure even on public Wi-Fi.

00:07:39.000 ExpressVPN isn't just my choice.

00:07:40.000 It's rated number one by top tech reviewers like CNET and The Verge.

00:07:44.000 So don't wait.

00:07:56.000 The taboo has been broken.

00:07:57.000 And once you break that taboo, you can't unbreak the taboo.

00:08:00.000 The death of Joe Biden on the stage led a bunch of people to say out loud, okay, I guess I might have to vote for Donald Trump.

00:08:06.000 Once you say that, you can't unsay it.

00:08:08.000 Once you say it, you have granted the moral imprimatur, the permission structure, for saying that you will vote for Donald Trump.

00:08:16.000 And for you to reverse yourself and then say it's unthinkable to vote for Donald Trump is no longer on the table, because you've already said it's thinkable.

00:08:22.000 You have now manifested the reality of the possibility that you might vote for Trump.

00:08:26.000 And after the assassination attempt, there were even more people who started to say, yeah, I might vote for him.

00:08:31.000 I might have to vote for him.

00:08:32.000 Can you imagine a situation five years ago in which Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook would have done an interview praising the personal courage of Donald Trump?

00:08:39.000 That would have been unthinkable.

00:08:41.000 Truly unthinkable.

00:08:42.000 And yet, that did happen in the aftermath of the assassination attempts.

00:08:45.000 That is a factor that cut in Donald Trump's favor.

00:08:47.000 In other words, that gap between the time that Biden wrapped up the nomination and the time that he dropped out opened a new permission structure that Donald Trump has not had in America since probably 2016.

00:09:00.000 So that's the first thing that happened.

00:09:02.000 The other thing that happened is Kamala Harris jumping into the race and orienting her entire race toward females. 1.00

00:09:09.000 Kamala Harris has run the most female-centric campaign of all time.

00:09:11.000 It's not just that she is a female herself.

00:09:13.000 It is that the top issue that she is running on is abortion. 0.99

00:09:17.000 The thing that she is running on, beyond all others, is the idea that abortion is the most critical American right.

00:09:23.000 And that everything else is secondary.

00:09:25.000 And not only that, it's not just the issue of her campaign.

00:09:28.000 It's the way that she has touted her campaign.

00:09:31.000 The people she has surrounded herself with.

00:09:33.000 So, when she picked Tim Walz, there was this attempt to turn Tim Walz into the gregarious, kindly coach who is going to bring in men.

00:09:43.000 Hey, that dude wore hunting gear sometimes.

00:09:45.000 Hey, he had a shotgun.

00:09:47.000 And he liked to talk a little gruff.

00:09:49.000 There was only one problem.

00:09:50.000 It didn't read that way to men.

00:09:53.000 When you talk to men about the Harris ticket, the vast majority of men look at that ticket, they look at Doug Emhoff, they look at the people that she surrounds herself with, and they say, this is an anti-male campaign.

00:10:06.000 This campaign is not just pro-female, it is actively anti-male.

00:10:11.000 The males that she surrounds herself with are all betas.

00:10:15.000 There's a bit of the Renfield about all these men.

00:10:18.000 Tim Wallace has to show up on stage and immediately he's like, yes master, I will eat the flies.

00:10:22.000 He's doing a full-on Renfield routine, vis-a-vis Dracula, with Kamala Harris.

00:10:28.000 Total subservience.

00:10:30.000 And that total subservience routine does not draw men in. 0.90

00:10:33.000 That is why that ridiculous ad from White Dudes for Harris, put out by Beige Rainbow Pack, was so hilarious. 0.96

00:10:40.000 Because even that ad, which was attempting to reach out to the men who like to eat animal meat, even that ad did not read that way. 0.75

00:10:49.000 It read as apologetic for masculinity.

00:10:53.000 So I think there are a bunch of men, just like the Teamsters Union, I think there are a bunch of men who are not showing up in the polls right now who are going to vote against her.

00:11:00.000 I think that's a reality.

00:11:02.000 And finally, there is a sort of bleeding indicator symptom, and that is Kamala Harris and Joe Biden flying Vladimir Zelensky in a C-17 to Pennsylvania to tour a munitions factory in a swing state 40 days before an election.

00:11:16.000 What that says to me is that the internal polling in Pennsylvania is not looking good for Democrats.

00:11:20.000 The Democrats are freaking out over Pennsylvania.

00:11:23.000 By the way, the most obvious blown opportunity by a Democrat of my lifetime All Kamala Harris had to do to shore up that state was pick Josh Shapiro, the popular governor of Pennsylvania. 1.00

00:11:34.000 And she didn't do it because she was afraid that he was a Jew.

00:11:38.000 And so if she loses Pennsylvania, that's what that's about.

00:11:42.000 When you bring in Zelensky as an attempt to win over, I assume, the Polish vote, because that's literally what she said in the debate with Donald Trump. 0.92

00:11:48.000 She said there are 800,000 Polish voters in Pennsylvania, and they care deeply about NATO and Ukraine.

00:11:55.000 First of all, if you think that the 800,000 people of Polish descent in Pennsylvania, their top issue in this election cycle is the position of Donald Trump vis-a-vis NATO, think again.

00:12:07.000 That is not a reality.

00:12:08.000 That is wish-casting by the Harris campaign.

00:12:12.000 I think it's also an addiction by the Harris campaign to a peculiar form of identity politics where you can simply group people into a group and then pretend they all have the same priorities.

00:12:21.000 The idea that Polish-Americans, fourth generation, fifth generation Polish-Americans are number one of all things on earth concerned with the Ukraine war as opposed to, you know, their jobs going away in Pennsylvania, that seems kind of weird to me.

00:12:35.000 So, Kamala Harris, she's had to reintroduce herself.

00:12:39.000 And this, I think, may be the best indicator of all.

00:12:41.000 She knows she has not done enough to properly introduce herself to the American public.

00:12:45.000 That the American public feels disquieted about her.

00:12:48.000 They find her to be Enigmatic.

00:12:52.000 Empty.

00:12:53.000 They believe there is no there there.

00:12:55.000 And they are right.

00:12:57.000 So yesterday, she did a couple of things.

00:12:59.000 She gave a speech on economics, and then she did an interview with Stephanie Rule at MSNBC.

00:13:05.000 Neither was good.

00:13:06.000 So the first thing she did was this speech at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh.

00:13:11.000 Well, she pretended to be a middle-of-the-road economic pragmatist. 0.86

00:13:14.000 That was after her 2019-2020 campaign, where she basically ran as Bernie Sanders.

00:13:18.000 So, her new shtick is that she is going to grant tax credits, you know, like a Republican would. 0.99

00:13:25.000 And that she's going to give tax cuts, you know, like a Republican would. 0.99

00:13:29.000 And that she would make up for all of that by taxing just the rich. 0.63

00:13:35.000 Which, of course, is untrue.

00:13:36.000 Because you can tax the rich all day long and all night long.

00:13:39.000 It ain't gonna pay for your deficit spending.

00:13:41.000 You've been trying it.

00:13:43.000 Folks, Kamala Harris's financial plans make no sense, but yours need to make some sense.

00:13:47.000 The Federal Reserve has now dropped interest rates, so you need to call my friends in American Financing today.

00:13:51.000 I mean, like, right now.

00:13:52.000 Mortgage rates are now in the fours, so now's a perfect time to consolidate debt and reduce your monthly expenses.

00:13:56.000 Let's face it, a lot of people have been forced to use credit cards because of the insane prices at the grocery store, power bills, even for childcare.

00:14:03.000 With credit card rates through the roof, that debt will eat you alive.

00:14:06.000 But here's the good news.

00:14:06.000 With the mortgage rates dropping, now is the perfect time to wipe that debt out.

00:14:10.000 American Financing is helping homeowners just like you, yes you, save over $800 a month on average.

00:14:15.000 That is real money back in your pocket.

00:14:17.000 They're even closing some loans in as fast as 10 days.

00:14:19.000 And get this, if you start today, you might be able to delay two mortgage payments.

00:14:23.000 Not to mention, there are no upfront fees to find out how much you can save.

00:14:26.000 So here's what you need to do.

00:14:28.000 Call American Financing today at 866-721-3300.

00:14:32.000 That's 866-721-3300.

00:14:35.000 Or, if you prefer, visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Shapiro.

00:14:39.000 NMLS 182334 NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.

00:14:42.000 APR for rates in the fours.

00:14:43.000 Start at APR 5.672% for well-qualified borrowers.

00:14:46.000 Call 866-721-3300 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:14:50.000 The reality in the United States is the top quintile of taxpayers in this country pay literally all net taxes.

00:14:57.000 Not some, all.

00:14:59.000 Okay, net taxes means the amount of tax dollars you're paying in versus the number of tax dollars

00:15:03.000 you're getting out.

00:15:05.000 The top quintile pay all net taxes in the United States.

00:15:08.000 So she tried to claim that she was a capitalist, that she believes in free and fair markets.

00:15:14.000 The problem of course, is that she has no definition for fair markets. 0.97

00:15:17.000 The New York Times led, quote, Vice President Kamala Harris wants voters to know

00:15:22.000 that she is not a socialist.

00:15:24.000 That was the clear unspoken theme of Ms. Harris.

00:15:25.000 Harris' nearly 40-minute economic policy speech in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

00:15:30.000 It was why she paraphrased Warren Buffett, cited a survey of top economists, and praised entrepreneurs and language that echoed Republican Senator Mitt Romney's presidential run a dozen years ago.

00:15:38.000 The problem is, this is not going to work.

00:15:40.000 It is not going to work because if she's attempting to out-capitalist Donald Trump, good luck with that! 0.95

00:15:45.000 In the same way that it is a mistake for Republicans to try to out-welfare Democrats. 0.61

00:15:50.000 It is a mistake for Democrats to try to out-capitalism Republicans.

00:15:54.000 But she understands she has to tamp down all of the talk about the fact that her administration has been awful for the economy and the fact that the principles she has spent her entire career espousing up until this very moment are really anti-capitalist.

00:16:07.000 She doesn't have to be a full Marxist socialist to be anti-capitalist.

00:16:11.000 If you simply call for massive regulation and confiscation of unearned capital gains, if you suggest that price increases are due to price gouging through grocery store collusion, and then suggest price controls as the answer, you are not pro-capitalism. 0.92

00:16:29.000 So, just to add insult to injury here, Before Harris gave the speech, Joe Biden, the sitting president of the United States, I remind you that that senile, doddering old fool is still the sitting president of the United States and the most powerful person on earth. 0.98

00:16:44.000 Joe Biden just dumped a ton of bricks on her head. 0.90

00:16:48.000 Because one of the things that Harris is trying to do in this campaign is separate off from the Biden-Harris record.

00:16:54.000 She has a catch-22.

00:16:55.000 She's only there because she is Joe Biden's VP, but she doesn't want anybody to know that.

00:16:59.000 It's a secret.

00:17:00.000 So Joe Biden let the secret out of the bag.

00:17:02.000 Yesterday on The View, he linked her to every one of his policies.

00:17:05.000 So this would be, I don't know, a $50 million campaign in-kind contribution to Donald Trump by Joe Biden right here.

00:17:12.000 And as vice president, there wasn't a single thing that I did that she couldn't do.

00:17:18.000 And so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.

00:17:25.000 Oh, he delegated everything to her.

00:17:26.000 So good luck defending all of that, Kamala.

00:17:28.000 Seriously.

00:17:30.000 And so she gives this speech.

00:17:31.000 And again, the message of the speech is that she will be pragmatic.

00:17:34.000 She is not an ideologue.

00:17:36.000 She's gonna be a middle-of-the-road pragmatist. 1.00

00:17:39.000 Now, I know somebody else who promised this.

00:17:41.000 His name was Joe Biden.

00:17:42.000 And then he proceeded to enact the most left-wing agenda in American economic modern history.

00:17:48.000 He himself has said he's the most transformative economic president since FDR.

00:17:52.000 So I don't believe you, Kamala Harris.

00:17:54.000 So here she was reading off the teleprompter.

00:17:58.000 We just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven don't work.

00:18:07.000 Okay, I mean that's, thank you for that campaign ad.

00:18:10.000 She is the proven policies we know don't work. 1.00

00:18:14.000 What does she mean?

00:18:14.000 She actually means capitalism.

00:18:15.000 Okay, but she promises once again, it's gonna be all pragmatism and joy.

00:18:19.000 This is a terrible speech.

00:18:20.000 This did not help her one iota.

00:18:23.000 And I promise you I will be pragmatic in my approach.

00:18:29.000 I will engage in what Franklin Roosevelt called bold, persistent experimentation.

00:18:36.000 Because I believe we shouldn't be constrained by ideology and instead should seek practical solutions to problems.

00:18:47.000 Realistic assessments of what is working and what is not.

00:18:53.000 Applying metrics to our analysis.

00:18:57.000 Applying facts to our analysis.

00:19:02.000 and stay focused then not only on the crises at hand but on our big goals.

00:19:10.000 So if you believe this McKinsey-esque bullsh** then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

00:19:17.000 That she's sitting there with the data sheet.

00:19:19.000 She's got the spreadsheets and she's determining what works and what doesn't. 1.00

00:19:22.000 First of all, we should point out that the bold experimentation tried by FDR was terrible and lengthened the Great Depression by full-on eight years.

00:19:29.000 The bold experimentation means she puts her thumb in randomly into the economy and starts swirling it around. 1.00

00:19:36.000 And then she says there will be metrics by which he determines her success.

00:19:39.000 Really?

00:19:39.000 What are those metrics?

00:19:40.000 I want to know because you say that Joe Biden is a success.

00:19:43.000 At the same time, you're saying that you can't run on his record because we need a change.

00:19:48.000 So I don't believe you.

00:19:49.000 I don't believe that you're just going to do things that work and then not do things that don't work because you've been spending four years doing things that don't work and pretending they work.

00:19:56.000 There's that.

00:19:58.000 Also, I don't believe that you are very pro-capitalism when you say nonsense like this.

00:20:01.000 She says that she's gonna challenge the private sector to lift up workers through, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, equity! 0.95

00:20:06.000 Now, equity, for those who've been watching, is a code word for racial discrimination.

00:20:12.000 Equity, in her view, is a code word for sameness of outcome despite difference in performance.

00:20:20.000 It is a way of crashing the free market in the name of some higher principle of social justice.

00:20:29.000 And we will reform our tax laws to make it easier for businesses to let workers share in their company's success.

00:20:36.000 And I will challenge the private sector to do more, to lift up workers through equity, profits, and benefits, so more people can share in America's success and prosperity.

00:20:50.000 Oh, she's going to challenge the free markets issues. 0.99

00:20:52.000 She's going to challenge the free markets and force... That's force, by the way. 1.00

00:20:56.000 Folks, the government doesn't challenge things.

00:20:58.000 The government forces things.

00:21:00.000 In fact, they force so many things that it feels as though you can be cancelled at any moment for pretty much anything by the government and its allies.

00:21:06.000 In a world rife with cancelled culture, wearing your beliefs on your sleeve isn't just a metaphor.

00:21:09.000 It is a radical act of free speech.

00:21:12.000 If you dare to express an opinion the woke mob doesn't particularly like, they will come after you if you've seen it happen time and again.

00:21:17.000 That's why I'm excited to tell you about the Daily Wire's partnership with Sticker Mule.

00:21:20.000 Sticker Mule isn't just any old merch company.

00:21:22.000 They're the internet's favorite place for custom stickers, magnets, and more.

00:21:25.000 Plus, they're based.

00:21:26.000 Sticker Mule's co-founder and CEO recently vocalized his support for President Trump, calling for an end to political hate in the wake of the attempt on Trump's life.

00:21:32.000 Now they are bringing you exclusive Daily Wire merch.

00:21:35.000 By shopping at StickerMule.com slash Daily Wire, you're not just getting awesome merch, you're supporting free speech and standing up against leftist groupthink.

00:21:42.000 You're saying, I won't be silenced by the left-wing mob.

00:21:44.000 Let's be honest, nothing triggers the left-winger faster than a well-placed facts-don't-care-about-your-feelings sticker.

00:21:48.000 A portion of every sale goes directly to support the Daily Wire, which means you're helping us continue to bring you the hard-hitting truth the mainstream media will not touch.

00:21:55.000 Head on over to StickerMule.com slash Daily Wire today.

00:21:58.000 Make your voice heard at StickerMule.com slash Daily Wire.

00:22:02.000 The federal government doesn't challenge things.

00:22:03.000 The federal government forces things.

00:22:04.000 It's a giant gun, and it's pointed at things.

00:22:07.000 She's going to force the free market to force the workers to share in the profits. 1.00

00:22:12.000 Now, here's the reality about how profits work, folks.

00:22:15.000 If you're an investor in a company, you share in the profits.

00:22:18.000 If you are a wage earner, you are taking on a lower risk because you have not put your own money behind the company.

00:22:25.000 If you work for a company and you're a wage-based employee, the whole point is you are guaranteed the wage whether the profits go up or down that week unless you are fired.

00:22:35.000 That's the bargain.

00:22:36.000 Employees get steady paychecks.

00:22:39.000 Investors have ups and they have downs.

00:22:42.000 And when she just simply throws those words out there without any sort of definition, what she really means is that she wants to force companies to do the things she wants them to do.

00:22:53.000 All this, of course, is incredibly vague.

00:22:54.000 She started dumping out basically the boggle pieces and started talking about growing our middle class and just it's platitudes after platitudes. 1.00

00:23:04.000 Here she was on the middle class.

00:23:07.000 I believe we need to grow our middle class and make sure our economy works for everyone.

00:23:16.000 For people.

00:23:19.000 Like the people In the neighborhood where I grew up.

00:23:24.000 And the hardworking Americans I meet every day across our nation.

00:23:28.000 Do you mean the Tony Uppercrust place that you grew up in?

00:23:33.000 Montreal? 0.96

00:23:33.000 All this crap about the middle class. 0.96

00:23:37.000 The middle class. 0.96

00:23:38.000 And I'm going to save the middle class. 0.97

00:23:39.000 She's not going to do crap for the middle class. 1.00

00:23:41.000 First of all, we should point out in the United States, there is no class system.

00:23:45.000 There are actual class systems that existed in 19th century Britain, which was very difficult to make it out of a class into which you were born.

00:23:50.000 That has never been true in the United States going back to the time of Alexis de Tocqueville in like the 1830s.

00:23:57.000 But again, it is all just sloganeering and platitude, so it's not going to help her.

00:24:00.000 Nobody believes that she is radically pro-free market.

00:24:03.000 Nobody believes she's a pragmatist.

00:24:05.000 No one thinks she's middle of the road.

00:24:07.000 And if you do, it's because you're not watching closely.

00:24:10.000 And so at the end, she just starts truly slathering on as much Crisco as she possibly can.

00:24:19.000 She's going to obscure everything and she's gonna do it with a blizzard of nonsense. 1.00

00:24:24.000 Would you like to hear Kamala Harris talk about the spirit of inspiration?

00:24:27.000 I sure would. 0.51

00:24:28.000 I think Americans want eight years of hearing about the spirit of inspiration from this absolute empty vessel dullard of a human.

00:24:38.000 We need to guard that spirit.

00:24:41.000 We have to guard that spirit.

00:24:46.000 Let it always inspire us.

00:24:49.000 Let it always be the source of our optimism, which is that spirit that is so uniquely American.

00:24:58.000 And let that then inspire us by helping us to be inspired to solve the problems that so many face, including our small business owners.

00:25:13.000 I cannot.

00:25:16.000 She was like a word of the day calendar. 0.98

00:25:18.000 Today's word of the day is inspiration.

00:25:21.000 See if you can use it in a sense.

00:25:23.000 Wow.

00:25:24.000 To truly feel inspired, you have to feel the inspiration that will inspire you to do inspired things in inspirational fashion.

00:25:36.000 Good God.

00:25:38.000 I think my favorite part of this particular speech is where she started talking about the biblical book of Ecclesiastics.

00:25:43.000 I liked this one a lot.

00:25:44.000 I had not heard of this biblical book.

00:25:46.000 I had heard of Ecclesiastes.

00:25:48.000 I had not heard of Ecclesiastics.

00:25:49.000 Which I assume is Ecclesiastes when you work in a plastic factory.

00:25:55.000 I don't really understand what she's referring to here, but if we were gonna make fun of Donald Trump years and years and years ago for saying two Corinthians instead of second Corinthians, that is less bad than calling Ecclesiastes Ecclesiastics.

00:26:09.000 You know, there's a time for patience, and there's a time for impatience.

00:26:14.000 That's not an Ecclesiastics, but... You're right, it's not an Ecclesiastics.

00:26:22.000 I mean, maybe it's in Ecclesiastics, that's not a book, so sure, it could be, theoretically.

00:26:27.000 She has the wisdom of King Solomon, if King Solomon had been dropped on his head as a baby.

00:26:32.000 For sure.

00:26:33.000 Even CNN was like, uh, there's nothing here.

00:26:35.000 There's no here here.

00:26:36.000 So, CNN's Shira Stein, who works for the San Francisco Chronicle, she's like, I'm noticing not a lot of specifics here.

00:26:43.000 Right, because she can't.

00:26:45.000 Because she can't.

00:26:45.000 The minute she gets down to specifics, we start digging into them.

00:26:48.000 When she said she wanted to, for example, tax unearned capital gains, that was pretty specific.

00:26:53.000 And it was really bad for her.

00:26:54.000 And that is the history of Kamala Harris' campaigns.

00:26:57.000 She says platitudes.

00:26:58.000 And the left cheers and they clap.

00:26:59.000 This is true in 2019 and 2020.

00:27:01.000 Then she says a specific thing. 0.97

00:27:03.000 And then she has to walk it back because it's total trash. 0.99

00:27:06.000 She does not know her own policies. 0.99

00:27:08.000 She doesn't know what she's talking about. 1.00

00:27:10.000 The dirty secret of this campaign is that Kamala Harris is a stupid person. 1.00

00:27:13.000 She is not smart. 1.00

00:27:16.000 You can say whatever you want about Donald Trump. 1.00

00:27:17.000 Call him stupid. 1.00

00:27:18.000 Doesn't matter. 1.00

00:27:19.000 Donald Trump was already president.

00:27:20.000 We already know what his record looked like.

00:27:21.000 So if you're not gonna run on your record as the Vice President of the United States, which would theoretically cover for many of these areas.

00:27:28.000 You don't have to answer questions about your policy.

00:27:30.000 You would just say, look what I did while I was in office.

00:27:32.000 But she won't do that.

00:27:33.000 So that means she has to run on herself.

00:27:35.000 And if she's gonna run on herself, then she has to run on one of two things.

00:27:38.000 Either her stated policies, and she won't do that because she won't tell you her policies, or her innate charisma and intelligence. 0.75

00:27:45.000 The problem that we're encountering with all of these is we're getting a vision of her economic agenda, of her policy agenda.

00:27:48.000 And we already know what he'd do as president.

00:27:51.000 Well, there's a problem.

00:27:52.000 She's not charismatic and she ain't smart. 0.75

00:27:55.000 Here is CNN's Shira Stein being like, yeah, there was nothing there. 0.98

00:27:59.000 The problem that we're encountering with all of these is we're getting a vision of her economic agenda,

00:28:03.000 of her policy agenda.

00:28:04.000 We're not getting specifics.

00:28:06.000 Oh, you think?

00:28:07.000 Well, folks, even CNN says that there are no specifics to Kamala Harris's answers, but you need answers when you start a business.

00:28:13.000 One of the biggest questions you have is HR.

00:28:14.000 When we started Daily Wire, we had no idea what to do with HR.

00:28:18.000 We were focused on creating content.

00:28:20.000 And it's hard to find a managing professional capable of handling day-to-day HR.

00:28:24.000 If that sounds like you, you need to talk to my friends over at Bambi.

00:28:26.000 With Bambi, you're not just getting an HR manager, you're getting a dedicated partner who's available by phone, email, and real-time chat.

00:28:32.000 They'll handle crucial tasks like employee onboarding, terminations, and performance reviews.

00:29:14.000 Okay, so Kamala Harris, she still has to introduce herself. 0.98

00:29:16.000 She's spending hundreds of millions of dollars right now introducing herself to the American people. 0.92

00:29:20.000 It's not happening.

00:29:22.000 By the way, I'm hearing anecdotal evidence from Pennsylvania that you cannot turn on the TV without seeing an ad from the Trump campaign introducing Kamala Harris to the people of Pennsylvania.

00:29:31.000 Which, if so, great for the Trump campaign.

00:29:34.000 So, one other way she decided to introduce herself yesterday was that she was going to do her first one-on-one interview.

00:29:40.000 This is her first nationally televised one-on-one interview.

00:29:42.000 Yes, that is correct.

00:29:44.000 Because you remember that that first interview, the one that she did with Dana Bash on CNN, she brought along her emotional support, Renfield, Tim Walls.

00:29:54.000 And he was sitting there to save her if she got herself in trouble.

00:29:57.000 Or she could look over every so often and she could pet her emotional support and then feel better about herself.

00:30:03.000 Well, this is the first time that she actually sat down one-on-one in a nationally televised interview.

00:30:07.000 By the way, that's like 60 odd days into her campaign, which is fairly incredible.

00:30:13.000 And the person she chose was bootlicker Stephanie Ruhle over at MSNBC, who literally said last week she didn't have to answer any tough questions. 1.00

00:30:20.000 In order to justify that thesis, Stephanie Ruhle decided not to ask any tough questions. 0.88

00:30:24.000 So that was exciting. 0.97

00:30:25.000 And Kamala Harris made a fool of herself. 1.00

00:30:28.000 There was never going to be a friendlier interviewer than Stephanie Ruhle. 0.97

00:30:31.000 And somehow Kamala Harris achieved the signal distinction of completely falling flat on her face in an interview with a person who is busily attempting to massage her with baby oil.

00:30:44.000 It's incredible.

00:30:45.000 That's how bad she is at this. 0.96

00:30:47.000 You can say that Donald Trump has flubbed interviews before.

00:30:49.000 Typically, the interviews that Donald Trump flubs are unfriendly interviews.

00:30:52.000 It goes to the National Association of Black Journalists, and they ask a bunch of hostile questions about why he's a racist, and then he flubs it.

00:30:59.000 But he doesn't really tend to flub, for example, interviews with, say, Sean Hannity.

00:31:03.000 Kamala Harris has found a new way to fail.

00:31:06.000 She flubs interviews with people who are carrying around drool cups for her.

00:31:12.000 So, she leads off this interview and she explains that people are having trouble getting the American Dream.

00:31:16.000 At no point does it occur to her that she's the current Vice President of the United States.

00:31:21.000 Maybe that's her problem. 0.98

00:31:24.000 And I come from the middle class.

00:31:25.000 Look, my mother raised my sister and me.

00:31:27.000 She worked hard.

00:31:29.000 She saved up.

00:31:30.000 By the time I was a teenager, she was able to buy our first home.

00:31:34.000 And, you know, home ownership for too many people in our country now is elusive.

00:31:39.000 You know, gone is the day of everyone thinking they could actually live the American dream.

00:31:43.000 So part of my vision for the economy is let's deal with some of the everyday challenges that people face and address them with common sense solutions such as affordable housing.

00:31:57.000 Wow, that was really... Affordable housing is her solution. 0.54

00:32:01.000 That's a great solution.

00:32:02.000 Do you feel quieted now?

00:32:04.000 Do you feel more calm watching this person?

00:32:07.000 Then she explained, it's very important to have plans.

00:32:10.000 And plans are really, really important.

00:32:12.000 In fact, the planning of the plan is what makes a plan so planned.

00:32:17.000 And one must be serious.

00:32:20.000 And have a plan, and a real plan that's not just about some talking point ending in an exclamation at a political rally, but actually putting the thought into what will be the return on the investment and what will be the economic impact on everyday people.

00:32:37.000 One must have a plan.

00:32:39.000 One must.

00:32:40.000 One, not me.

00:32:41.000 Not, I mean, it can't just be platitudes with an exclamation point at the end.

00:32:48.000 That would be bad.

00:32:49.000 The middle, I grew up a middle class child.

00:32:52.000 Why isn't she catching fire? 0.99

00:32:54.000 Why is she riding it? 0.99

00:32:54.000 46, 47, 48% of these polls. 0.99

00:32:57.000 After two months of pure brat energy, why is this lady stuck in a dead tie with Donald? 0.99

00:33:03.000 I can't imagine why.

00:33:06.000 So she was asked at one point why, if she's still anti-Trump tariffs plan, why did she keep half those tariffs in place?

00:33:11.000 Here she was trying to explain.

00:33:14.000 Tariffs aren't unique to President Trump.

00:33:16.000 President Biden has tariffs in place.

00:33:18.000 He's actually looking to potentially implement more.

00:33:22.000 Where do you come out on it?

00:33:23.000 Is there a good tariff, a bad tariff?

00:33:25.000 Well, part of it is you don't just throw around the idea of just tariffs across the board, and that's part of the problem with Donald Trump.

00:33:32.000 Frankly, and I say this in all sincerity, he's just not very serious about how he thinks about some of these issues.

00:33:41.000 And one must be serious.

00:33:46.000 By the way, at this point I should point out, I know many Secret Service agents.

00:33:59.000 I know an ex-Secret Service agent who actually worked with the Vice President of the United States.

00:34:04.000 This is unverified, so take it for what it's worth.

00:34:06.000 Apparently she sat in her office pretty much all day playing solitaire on her computer.

00:34:10.000 I'm not even joking.

00:34:11.000 That is a real thing, apparently.

00:34:13.000 So, maybe it's true, maybe it's false.

00:34:16.000 I'll just throw out what I've heard.

00:34:18.000 Would not be surprising.

00:34:19.000 I can just see comment- Look at this, if I put the red ace on the black two- Oh, they're bouncing all over the screen!

00:34:27.000 Inspiring!

00:34:28.000 So much inspiration!

00:34:31.000 And here she was, you want more babbling? 0.99

00:34:33.000 Here we go.

00:34:34.000 She's gonna babble about paying your fair share. 1.00

00:34:36.000 So she's asked by Stephanie Rule, you want to raise taxes in certain areas, you want certain tax credits, you want all this stuff.

00:34:42.000 What if you have a Republican Congress and you can't do any of those things?

00:34:44.000 What are you gonna do then?

00:34:45.000 She has no answer.

00:34:46.000 This is such a perfectly obvious question, and she has no answer whatsoever.

00:34:50.000 She just starts babbling about her fair share.

00:34:52.000 You can see her mentally flipping through at very slow speed, because she's not a smart person, all of the various 3x5 note cards that she stores up there, until she finds the one labeled fair share, and you can hear the click when the roulette ball falls into the roulette wheel, and suddenly, oh, she's stumbling around.

00:35:11.000 Fair share, fair share, yes, fair share.

00:35:12.000 Here we go.

00:35:14.000 Where do you get the money to do that?

00:35:16.000 Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?

00:35:19.000 Well, but we're gonna have to raise corporate taxes. 0.94

00:35:22.000 And we're gonna have to raise... We're gonna have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share.

00:35:31.000 That's just it.

00:35:33.000 It's about paying their fair share.

00:35:36.000 Did you hear the ball click into the wheel right there?

00:35:39.000 She's searching around.

00:35:40.000 She has no idea what to say.

00:35:42.000 She just says, we have to do the thing.

00:35:43.000 Okay, but we have to.

00:35:45.000 That's not an answer.

00:35:47.000 How are you going to drive to work this morning?

00:35:49.000 Your car.

00:35:50.000 Sorry, the transmission fell out of the car.

00:35:52.000 How are you going to get to work?

00:35:52.000 Well, we have to get to work.

00:35:55.000 That wasn't the question.

00:35:57.000 So she goes searching around and she's like, fair share.

00:36:01.000 Yeah, she actually starts smiling when she hits the phrase fair share because she's found the right note card.

00:36:07.000 Because there ain't nothing going on up there, folks.

00:36:10.000 She's empty between the ears. 1.00

00:36:12.000 Don't believe me?

00:36:13.000 Well, I have a holistic answer for you.

00:36:15.000 Here she is explaining how she approaches problems holistically.

00:36:19.000 Again, we've had word of the day yesterday.

00:36:21.000 There were two words of the day yesterday.

00:36:22.000 Inspiration and holistically.

00:36:24.000 So she's going to answer this question so holistically that I have no words.

00:36:31.000 Here we go.

00:36:33.000 Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars.

00:36:42.000 And looking holistically at the connection between that and housing.

00:36:47.000 And looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing for working people.

00:37:01.000 Yes, that was...

00:37:02.000 That was three uses of the word holistic or holistically inside of 10 seconds. 1.00

00:37:06.000 Cause she is a stupid person. 1.00

00:37:11.000 If you listen to that and you're like, wow, higher intelligence at work. 1.00

00:37:16.000 Well folks, you may be the sucker in the room. 0.97

00:37:18.000 In just one second, we will get to more of Kamala Harris and then Joe Biden gives his going away valedictory with the harpies of the view. 0.96

00:37:27.000 First, one of the most anticipated events of the 2024 election is coming to Daily Wire Plus on Tuesday night.

00:37:33.000 The 2024 vice presidential debate between J.D.

00:37:35.000 Vance and Tim Walz will be live right here.

00:37:37.000 But let's face it, these debates are better with friends, especially friends who can spot every lie and false promise.

00:37:42.000 That is why we are doing a special backstage with a pre-show analysis from Matt Walsh, Michael Molls, Andrew Klavin, Jeremy Boring, and of course, I will be there as well.

00:37:48.000 Plus, stick around for a post-debate breakdown with insights you're not gonna hear from the mainstream media.

00:37:53.000 So instead of yelling at your TV alone, come yell with us!

00:37:55.000 The Vice Presidential Debate, Tuesday night, 8.30 p.m.

00:37:58.000 Eastern Time, over at Daily Wire+.

00:38:00.000 Okay, meanwhile.

00:38:01.000 Well, the good news for Kamala Harris is that no matter how terrible she is in these interviews, she will have her defenders, including the interviewer, Stephanie Ruhle.

00:38:07.000 That's the reason she gave Stephanie Ruhle the interview in the first place.

00:38:10.000 This interview closed with Stephanie Ruhle asking one of the hardest-hitting questions I have heard ever in the history of journalism-ing.

00:38:17.000 Here we go.

00:38:17.000 Stephanie Ruhle.

00:38:19.000 So, look, I think the thing about Donald Trump is that, you know, I don't think the women of America need him to say he's going to protect them.

00:38:28.000 The women of America need him to trust them.

00:38:34.000 Can we trust you?

00:38:35.000 Yes.

00:38:37.000 Yes.

00:38:38.000 I am not perfect.

00:38:41.000 But I will tell you, I'm always going to put the needs of the people first.

00:38:47.000 Can they trust you?

00:38:50.000 Wow.

00:38:51.000 What would be amazing is if she said no.

00:38:52.000 I mean, that's true, but she wouldn't say that.

00:38:56.000 What a terrible question.

00:38:57.000 Even Stephanie Ruhle had to admit after the interview that Kamala Harris would not answer questions. 1.00

00:39:06.000 I mean, as we'll see, she tried to spin this into a victory for Kamala Harris, but here she was with Nicole Wallace, who looks like she's smiling so hard the top of her head's gonna come off. 0.92

00:39:15.000 Here's what's a little tricky.

00:39:17.000 She doesn't answer the question around if the GOP is controlling the Senate, if she can't raise corporate taxes, where is she going to get the money from, you know, to expand the child tax credit and do all the things she wants to do. 1.00

00:39:28.000 And she says, we just have to do it.

00:39:30.000 And that's great.

00:39:31.000 And that's a campaign promise.

00:39:33.000 But the issue is, if it means we're just going to borrow again, then what we're doing is we're just never addressing the deficit.

00:39:41.000 And back in the days when you were a proud Republican, debts and deficits matter. 0.94

00:39:47.000 So that's Stephanie Ruhle, the person who was put there to kiss Kamala Harris' ass, pointing out that she doesn't answer basic questions. 1.00

00:39:53.000 The good news is Stephanie Ruhle says she doesn't have to answer questions. 0.98

00:39:56.000 These are complex issues.

00:39:58.000 One could watch that and say, well, she didn't give a clear, direct answer.

00:40:01.000 That's okay, because we are not talking about clear or direct issues. 0.99

00:40:08.000 That is the dumbest statement I've ever heard. 0.59

00:40:11.000 So you're given a complex issue and you don't have to give a clear or direct answer because they're not clear or direct issues? 0.99

00:40:16.000 That's our new standard. 0.99

00:40:18.000 Hard question means you can give a dumb answer. 0.98

00:40:21.000 Okay, I suppose that it's a standard. 0.98

00:40:24.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden is sitting out there and I kind of think that Joe Biden hopes that she loses.

00:40:28.000 As evidenced by the fact that he went on The View and then tied her to all of his policies.

00:40:32.000 Because if she loses, Joe Biden is the most vindicated person still technically alive.

00:40:38.000 That is kind of an amazing thing.

00:40:39.000 If she somehow finds a way to lose to Donald Trump, Joe Biden gets to spend the rest of his life telling the Democratic Party he told them so.

00:40:46.000 He had said, only I can beat Trump.

00:40:48.000 If she finds a way to lose to Trump, he's going to be able to walk around for the next seven and a half months or however else long he's not in hospice, telling people that he was right all along.

00:41:00.000 So he's doing his valedictory tour on The View.

00:41:05.000 Where the ladies of The View paid homage to him.

00:41:09.000 And he tried to explain how he was forced out.

00:41:13.000 What I did was, I think there were, it makes sense.

00:41:17.000 There were some folks who would like to see me step aside so they have a chance to move on.

00:41:22.000 I get that.

00:41:23.000 That's just human nature.

00:41:25.000 But that wasn't the reason that I stepped down.

00:41:28.000 I stepped down because I started thinking about it.

00:41:31.000 You know, it's hard to think, I know you're only 30.

00:41:36.000 But it's hard to think of, it's hard for me to even say how old I am.

00:41:42.000 No, I'm serious.

00:41:42.000 I don't know.

00:41:43.000 Why is that?

00:41:45.000 I give my word.

00:41:45.000 It's like, holy God, that can't be right.

00:41:50.000 Okay, well then why were you running in the first place?

00:41:52.000 We all know he was forced out, but he's enjoying these last few moments.

00:41:58.000 So Whoopi Goldberg, she's out there paying tribute to this brilliant, this brilliant order, legislator, man of the people, Joe Biden.

00:42:06.000 She says that Joe Biden was her ride or die.

00:42:11.000 I didn't like the way they did it.

00:42:12.000 I'm going to just say it out loud because nobody says it out loud.

00:42:16.000 I didn't like the way it was done publicly.

00:42:18.000 I thought they could have done this in a different way because we didn't need to hear all the inner fighting.

00:42:24.000 I didn't like it.

00:42:25.000 I'm saying it to you.

00:42:27.000 You were my ride or die.

00:42:29.000 I was going wherever you were going.

00:42:34.000 You see Biden smiling there?

00:42:35.000 He's so uncomfortable because he feels exactly the same way.

00:42:40.000 Well, that's not where that interview ended, by the way.

00:42:42.000 The View then compared Donald Trump to a bug.

00:42:44.000 And Joe Biden slapped the bug.

00:42:47.000 Because these are these are people of unity and joy.

00:42:50.000 That's the Democratic Party.

00:42:52.000 He just wouldn't go.

00:42:53.000 He was like a bug.

00:42:55.000 He just kept being there.

00:42:57.000 It was like a like a bug right there.

00:43:00.000 So you felt.

00:43:04.000 Oh, and he killed the bug.

00:43:05.000 See, it's funny.

00:43:06.000 It's funny in an era of assassination attempts.

00:43:08.000 It's super-duper-duper funny.

00:43:09.000 Joe Biden also added in this interview that Donald Trump has no redeeming social values.

00:43:15.000 Look, Trump is... Careful.

00:43:21.000 There's not a lot of social redeeming value there.

00:43:27.000 No, you think right.

00:43:31.000 How did we get here? 0.95

00:43:32.000 Let's extinguish him for good.

00:43:33.000 We have an answer.

00:43:34.000 We have a remarkably talented candidate who is sincere, who's pragmatic, who's open.

00:43:39.000 and called for Donald Trump to be extinguished forever.

00:43:41.000 But why are there so many assassination attempts on Donald Trump, they asked.

00:43:45.000 How did we get here?

00:43:47.000 Let's extinguish him for good.

00:43:49.000 We have an answer.

00:43:50.000 We have a remarkably talented candidate who is sincere, who's pragmatic, who's open.

00:43:56.000 Let's just get it done.

00:43:57.000 Remarkably talented is definitely one way of putting it.

00:44:02.000 Democrats are getting desperate, and this goes back to my original point here.

00:44:04.000 I know in my gut, I get the feeling they know that she's in trouble.

00:44:07.000 That's presumably why Nicole Wallace, over at MSNBC, is now yelling at Republicans to campaign for Kamala. 1.00

00:44:14.000 That's really what she's doing.

00:44:17.000 So I think it's time to draw a line in the sand and call bull**** on people who say, I'm not voting for Trump, but I can't do it for Harris.

00:44:24.000 If you're not voting for Trump because you're afraid of what he'd do to the rule of law, or you're afraid of what he'd do, I mean, Trump is the reason that there's no immigration bill.

00:44:33.000 Trump is the reason that women are dying in Georgia. 0.98

00:44:36.000 Trump is anti-life. 0.82

00:44:39.000 Trump is anti-immigration policy.

00:44:43.000 Trump is anti-constitution, anti-rule of law. 0.89

00:44:45.000 And if you're a Republican who isn't voting for him because you care about any one of those things, it's bulls**t if you're not campaigning for Kamala Harris. 0.67

00:44:53.000 There's one way to do something about those things if that's what you care about.

00:44:59.000 Nicole Wallace is half a second from turning into that meme lady from 2016 screaming at the sky after Trump won. 1.00

00:45:05.000 And that's why I got that gut feeling that perhaps the Democrats have a big problem on their hands.

00:45:11.000 Well, it is a truth bomb that Kamala Harris has a big problem on her hands, something the media don't really want you to know about. 1.00

00:45:17.000 But it's not just truth bombs that we drop here at Daily Wire.

00:45:19.000 We also offer you, in conjunction with our friends at Birchgold, the golden truth bomb.

00:45:24.000 Yes, indeed.

00:45:24.000 That promotion is ending very soon.

00:45:27.000 Everybody knows Kamala Harris's administration is going to be a problem, economically speaking. 1.00

00:45:31.000 You're looking at a proposed top income tax rate of nearly 40%, 7% hike in corporate taxes, and a capital gains tax on unrealized gains, which is psychotic, frankly.

00:45:39.000 But there is more.

00:45:40.000 They also want to add almost $2 trillion to our $2 trillion deficit.

00:45:44.000 Which means that they are just driving the economy off a cliff like Thelma and Louise.

00:45:48.000 Now, I know you're thinking, how can I protect my hard-earned money?

00:45:50.000 Well, the good news is, our friends at Birchgold can help you.

00:46:47.000 Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris administration continues to be a thing like they exist 0.78

00:46:51.000 in real life, and they are so unbelievably weak and terrible. 0.97

00:46:54.000 So unbelievably weak and terrible. 0.98

00:46:56.000 So Israel is currently wrecking Hezbollah. 0.90

00:46:58.000 I mean, really wrecking them in Lebanon. 1.00

00:47:00.000 They've destroyed over 50% of their long range capacity.

00:47:03.000 Hezbollah has basically been reduced to firing a dozen to 20 rockets every night into random areas of Israel.

00:47:09.000 Last night, it was Acre, Akko in Hebrew, without doing significant damage.

00:47:14.000 That is because Israel has been so wildly effective in its operation so far, from Operation Grim Beeper, as they've been calling it, to the latest airstrikes.

00:47:22.000 Today, for example, they took out the head of the air campaign of Hezbollah.

00:47:29.000 They have incredible levels of intelligence penetration into Hezbollah.

00:47:33.000 So, how would that war come to an end?

00:47:34.000 Very easily.

00:47:35.000 If the United States and its allies, if we said, we're gonna let Israel go. 0.97

00:47:40.000 We're gonna give them all the arms they need.

00:47:41.000 They can do whatever they need to push you north of the Litani. 0.98

00:47:43.000 So, you can go the easy way or you can go the hard way.

00:47:45.000 The easy way is you just move north of Litani River and then all of this stops, like right now.

00:47:52.000 If we said that, it would be over.

00:47:53.000 But Joe Biden is pathologically incapable of saying that because Joe Biden believes, like every coward, that if you make concessions, you will suddenly be granted magical beneficence by some of the world's worst human beings.

00:48:06.000 This is why he's been attempting to push for Israel to make concessions to Hamas for the entirety of the Gaza War.

00:48:12.000 And it turns out that the best policy when it comes to fighting terror groups like this, especially terror groups that are involved with the actual government of Lebanon, is to point out to them that if they don't do the thing, they can get wrecked.

00:48:22.000 But Joe Biden will never do that.

00:48:24.000 And so, the Biden administration Has put forward a series of moves over the course of the last 24 hours, all of which are quite terrible.

00:48:32.000 First, according to Max Abrams, the Pentagon said that the White House has decided the U.S.

00:48:37.000 military will not supply intelligence support to Israel for operations in Lebanon.

00:48:41.000 So Israel has taken out Hezbollah terrorists who killed Americans.

00:48:44.000 And the Biden administration's number one response is, we're not going to help you.

00:48:49.000 I wonder why Hezbollah thinks they can outlast this thing. 1.00

00:48:51.000 I wonder why.

00:48:52.000 I wonder why they keep ramping it up.

00:48:54.000 Apparently, the Biden administration is divided over Israel's escalation against Hezbollah.

00:48:58.000 Remember, it's an escalation when Israel responds to 11 months of 8,000 rockets being fired into its territory.

00:49:04.000 That's an escalation, according to the Washington Post.

00:49:08.000 Senior officials are publicly calling for de-escalation as the administration tries to find a diplomatic off-ramp to the metastasizing Middle East conflict.

00:49:14.000 Again, what's amazing about all of this, Hamas, Hezbollah, the conflict would be over today, this moment, if the terrorists just stopped doing the thing. 0.52

00:49:25.000 If Hamas surrendered, if its leadership went into exile, and if it surrendered the hostages, the conflict in Gaza is over.

00:49:32.000 That's the end of it.

00:49:33.000 It's very simple.

00:49:34.000 If Hezbollah, disarmed below the Latanya River, It's all over. 0.93

00:49:39.000 We're done.

00:49:40.000 Move on with your life.

00:49:42.000 That's all.

00:49:42.000 Okay, these asks are not in any way crazy or insane.

00:49:49.000 Israel is not asking for Lebanon to surrender full swaths of sovereign territory to the Israeli government on a permanent basis.

00:49:57.000 They're saying, just don't let terrorists occupy this area the way that you have for the last 20 odd years.

00:50:03.000 And somehow this is controversial.

00:50:05.000 So Joe Biden, he suggested that full-scale war might actually be on the way.

00:50:11.000 Full-scale war. 0.60

00:50:12.000 I just have a question.

00:50:13.000 What makes you think full-scale war isn't already happening?

00:50:16.000 It turns out that when Israel is under assault from seven different fronts, that's called a full-scale war.

00:50:21.000 The only thing that hadn't happened is Israel flexing its muscles, which it is doing right now. 0.68

00:50:26.000 So Joe Biden, on The View, which is a great place to announce foreign policy decisions, says that he's going to pursue what he called a deal that fundamentally transforms the region.

00:50:33.000 By the way, that deal was on the table when he came into office.

00:50:35.000 It was called the Abraham Accords. 0.71

00:50:37.000 All he had to do was go to the Saudis and guarantee that he was going to smooth the path between the Saudis and the Israelis. 0.84

00:50:45.000 And by February of 2021, there would have been a deal between the Saudis and the Israelis and October 7th never would have happened.

00:50:52.000 That is a reality. 1.00

00:50:53.000 That deal was on the table and Joe Biden blew it up because he's a fool. 0.99

00:50:57.000 Because when it comes to foreign policy, he's been wrong on every issue of his entire lifetime. 0.97

00:51:02.000 Well, here he was yesterday saying they need a deal, a deal.

00:51:04.000 You know, no matter how often you say a deal, a deal, a deal, a deal is not in the offing when one side literally is a terrorist group that refuses to negotiate.

00:51:14.000 Saying the worst negotiator in human history, this guy.

00:51:19.000 Is a ceasefire still in reach?

00:51:21.000 And would you require all hostages to be released alive in order to have a ceasefire?

00:51:27.000 The answer is, part of the ceasefire would be the exchange of those hostages, number one.

00:51:32.000 Number two, an all-out war is possible, but I think there's also the opportunity, or still in play, to have a settlement that could fundamentally change the whole region.

00:51:47.000 I don't know if this guy's in the back room huffing his own farts or what.

00:51:49.000 I mean, like, there is no evidence whatsoever that Hamas has any capacity or interest in cutting that sort of deal.

00:51:55.000 They've rejected every deal that has been presented to them.

00:51:57.000 Every.

00:51:58.000 Single.

00:51:59.000 One.

00:52:00.000 Since November of 2023.

00:52:02.000 It's amazing.

00:52:04.000 But they don't have a strategy.

00:52:05.000 Their only strategy is, what can we do to prevent people from fighting with each other prior to the election?

00:52:10.000 That's all this is.

00:52:11.000 Because they understand that if Israel goes into Lebanon, that opens a gaping hole in her campaign.

00:52:17.000 Because then she might be forced to, you know, decide between Israel and the terrorists.

00:52:21.000 And there are a lot of terrorist supporters inside the Democratic Party.

00:52:24.000 In fact, according to the latest polling, the Harris voter favors the Palestinians over the Israelis 33% to 19%.

00:52:32.000 Which is crazy towns.

00:52:34.000 For the record, that same poll shows Trump supporters support Israel over the Palestinians 66 to 5.

00:52:41.000 So for all of those who suggested anti-Semitism, it's equivalent between the two parties in a remotely, not even remotely.

00:52:48.000 So what else is the Biden administration doing?

00:52:49.000 Well, they've now called along with the French, with the French, with Emmanuel Macron, they've called for a 21 day pause in the fighting based on nothing, based on literally nothing.

00:53:01.000 So they put out a statement, a joint statement, from the US, Australia, Canada, the EU, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.

00:53:08.000 And here's the amazing thing about this statement.

00:53:11.000 They call for a ceasefire.

00:53:12.000 Okay, the ceasefire...

00:53:15.000 The ceasefire call makes no mention of Hezbollah.

00:53:18.000 None.

00:53:19.000 So Israel right now is not fighting the Lebanese government.

00:53:22.000 If they wish to decapitate the Lebanese government, they would be attacking Lebanese government infrastructure, Lebanese government buildings.

00:53:28.000 That is not what they are doing.

00:53:29.000 Lebanon has a government.

00:53:30.000 Hezbollah is part of that government.

00:53:33.000 Israel, if it were a war with the Lebanese government or the Lebanese people, would not be bombing only in the Baka Valley, which is where the long-range missiles are, or in the area south of Latani, which is where the rockets are.

00:53:43.000 They wouldn't be hitting specific precincts of Beirut where Hezbollah is known to be.

00:53:48.000 They'd be knocking out the government infrastructure.

00:53:50.000 They would have taken down the electrical grid of Beirut already if they were at war with the Lebanese people or the Lebanese government.

00:53:57.000 So this statement doesn't even make mention of the party that started the conflict.

00:54:02.000 That's how absurd this is. 1.00

00:54:04.000 Here is the idiot statement. 1.00

00:54:05.000 From the cadre of diplomatic morons, quote, the situation between Lebanon and Israel since October 8th, 2023 is intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation. 1.00

00:54:16.000 And now you might want to point out what happened October 8th. 0.96

00:54:19.000 What happened?

00:54:19.000 The answer is Hezbollah, in solidarity with Hamas, started firing rockets over the border.

00:54:24.000 And you guys said nothing for nearly a year.

00:54:27.000 Israel had to evacuate 100,000 of its own citizens from that area inside the Israeli border.

00:54:32.000 There is no border dispute here.

00:54:34.000 Lebanon does not have any sovereign claim to Israel and Israel tries to make no sovereign claim to Lebanon.

00:54:38.000 They abandoned that area in 2000.

00:54:40.000 I love that the statement doesn't even point out that Hezbollah is the initiator of this conflict.

00:54:46.000 See, this is in nobody's interest.

00:54:47.000 Neither the people of Israel nor the people of Lebanon.

00:54:49.000 What do the people of Lebanon have to do with anything?

00:54:52.000 It's certainly not in the interest of the people of Israel to be under constant rocket fire from the north.

00:54:57.000 And as for the people of Lebanon, Israel's not at war with them.

00:55:00.000 Israel's at war with Hezbollah.

00:55:01.000 Israel is literally calling up apartment buildings and telling people to evacuate so they can blow up the munitions. 0.70

00:55:08.000 Says this moronic statement, it is time to conclude a diplomatic settlement that enables civilians on both sides of the border to return to their homes in safety.

00:55:15.000 Okay, all ideas welcome. 0.90

00:55:17.000 All ideas welcome.

00:55:18.000 Diplomacy is not a strategy.

00:55:21.000 Diplomacy is a tactic.

00:55:23.000 You can't just diplomacy your way into peace.

00:55:26.000 That's not the way things work.

00:55:29.000 It's like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy.

00:55:31.000 We want a settlement! 0.95

00:55:33.000 Okay, who gives a s*** what you want? 0.68

00:55:35.000 What are you talking about? 0.97

00:55:37.000 Diplomacy, say these dolts, cannot succeed amid an escalation of this conflict.

00:55:42.000 Well, I noticed that when Israel wasn't hitting Hezbollah, there also was not diplomacy.

00:55:47.000 I noticed that.

00:55:48.000 Weird, Amos Hochstein has spent the last year as the American envoy to the Middle East, running back and forth to Lebanon and Israel, and he's accomplished zero things.

00:55:56.000 It turns out the best way to achieve peace is to make it clear to your opponent that if they do not sign their name on the deal, their brains will be on the piece of paper.

00:56:04.000 In international politics, that is the best way to achieve peace.

00:56:08.000 The credible threat of use of force.

00:56:09.000 Israel is certainly showing credible threat of use of force.

00:56:13.000 That needs to be escalated to the point where Hezbollah cries, Uncle, that's the only way you get to an off-ramp here. 0.98

00:56:18.000 Anybody else gotten any ideas? 0.98

00:56:20.000 You know, ones that work and aren't just a bunch of crap that you spew in front of cameras? 0.91

00:56:24.000 And fellow diplomats? 0.97

00:56:26.000 Thus we call, say these fools, for an immediate 21-day ceasefire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy toward the conclusion of a diplomatic settlement consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2735 regarding a ceasefire in Gaza.

00:56:44.000 We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary ceasefire immediately, consistent with the UN Security Council resolution at 1701 during this period, and to give a real chance to a diplomatic settlement. 0.92

00:56:54.000 They said the thing.

00:56:56.000 Give peace a chance.

00:56:57.000 They said the thing.

00:56:59.000 Give a real... There was a chance for a diplomatic settlement right now, without the fire stopping.

00:57:04.000 In fact, the rockets from Israelis falling on the heads of Hezbollah commanders, it seems like now is an excellent time for them to make a diplomatic settlement, right now, to prevent the next bomb from falling on Tehrir in Beirut.

00:57:18.000 Then this joint coalition of complete befuddled toolbags say, we are then prepared to fully support all diplomatic efforts to conclude an agreement between Lebanon and Israel within this period, building on efforts over the last month that ends this crisis altogether.

00:57:32.000 What efforts over the last months have been successful?

00:57:35.000 Name them.

00:57:36.000 Any of them.

00:57:37.000 All this is is an attempt to buy time by the Biden administration to get past the election.

00:57:41.000 That's all.

00:57:43.000 And they don't care whether the war comes to an end.

00:57:44.000 They don't care whether American allies are forced to evacuate entire swaths of their border to terrorists.

00:57:50.000 They don't care about that.

00:57:52.000 All Biden wants is to get through the election. 0.96

00:57:55.000 Because he's a sad sack. 1.00

00:57:56.000 Because he's pathetic. 1.00

00:57:57.000 And the Europeans? 1.00

00:57:58.000 The Europeans are always just the Europeans. 1.00

00:58:00.000 Alrighty folks, in just one second.
