Kamala Harris should be impeached, writes Alex Blumberg. She is the first woman to be nominated for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, but she has yet to invoke the 25th Amendment to get rid of her boss, which means that she has abdicated her constitutional duty to remove the President. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Alex explains why she should be removed from office, and why she is a bad idea. He also discusses the Biden administration's foreign policy in Ukraine and Israel, and how that ties into the ongoing Israeli-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli response to it, and what it means for the future of peace between Israel and Hamas in the region, and its impact on the situation in Ukraine, and Israel's relations with the Ukraine. Alex also points out that Biden s foreign policy has been very different than that of the previous administration, and that makes it hard to see how a Biden administration foreign policy could be seen as a positive thing for the country, especially when it comes to supporting Israel in the Middle East. peace negotiations with Iran and the Palestinians, and their efforts to deescalate the conflict with the Palestinians in the Donbass region of Ukraine, which is a key ally in the Ukraine conflict, and a supporter of Israel's efforts to achieve peace with the West.

00:00:24.000Okay, so when I say that Kamala Harris should be impeached, there are a bunch of reasons why, theoretically, she could be impeached.
00:00:28.000So, for example, the fact that she has not yet invoked the 25th Amendment to get rid of her boss after defenestrating him from his nomination, that would be a pretty good-sized abdication of her constitutional duty.
00:00:39.000See, the Constitution suggests that the Vice President is chiefly responsible for getting rid of the President if the President is no longer compos mentis, if his brain no longer functions.
00:00:49.000That clearly has been the case for Joe Biden for a long while.
00:00:52.000So clearly has that been the case that Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party pushed him off the back of a train to get him out of the nomination position.
00:00:59.000But they left him in office, which means that she has abdicated her duty.
00:01:02.000There's something more specific that I'm talking about today.
00:01:05.000So I want to go all the way back in the time machine to 2019.
00:01:09.000You remember that Donald Trump was impeached twice.
00:01:11.000The first time, he was actually not impeached over January 6th.
00:01:16.000So there was a phone call that he held with Vladimir Zelensky, in which he allegedly threatened Vladimir Zelensky with withdrawal of American military aid if Vladimir Zelensky did not cause prosecutors in Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden's relationship with Burisma, a natural gas company in Ukraine that Hunter Biden was on the board of.
00:01:36.000And this was considered an impeachable offense.
00:01:38.000The basic idea for those who voted in favor of impeachment is that the president of the United States could not, could not use foreign policy as a way of manufacturing election-related topics.
00:01:49.000You could not try to swivel an American election based on withholding aid from an American ally.
00:01:54.000In fact, here is how the impeachment charges against Trump ran in 2019.
00:01:58.000As you recall, he was in fact impeached in the House and then of course he was And this was considered an impeachable offense.
00:02:03.000In 2019, here is how those Trump impeachment charges ran.
00:02:06.000Quote, using the powers of his high office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States presidential election.
00:02:14.000He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, and influence the 2020 US presidential election to his advantage.
00:02:26.000President Trump also sought to pressure the government of Ukraine to take these steps by conditioning official US government acts of significant value to Ukraine on its public announcement of the investigations.
00:02:36.000Okay, so just to get it straight, what the charge was when it was brought against Trump in 2019 is that Donald Trump had made the government of Ukraine do a thing beneficial to his reelect effort, and in order to do that, he had threatened to withdraw their aid.
00:02:51.000Israel is currently engaged in a war in the Gaza Strip.
00:02:55.000That war is with Hamas, a terror group that, as you will recall, a little more than a year ago, on October 7, 2023, invaded Israel, killed 1,200 people, took 250 hostages back into the terror tunnels in the Gaza Strip.
00:03:06.000And ever since then, the Biden administration has been, shall we say, reticent to simply push for Israeli victory.
00:03:13.000I mean, the Biden administration foreign policy on its own terms makes no sense.
00:03:17.000Their foreign policy in Ukraine, where Ukraine is currently fighting a defensive war, where they are not going to achieve total victory.
00:03:22.000They're not going to take back the Donbass region.
00:03:24.000They are not going to take back Crimea.
00:03:25.000The Biden administration foreign policy has been total victory for Ukraine.
00:03:31.000And then when it comes to Israel, which does have dominant military power in the region, then it's, man, we really wish Israel would de-escalate.
00:03:37.000This de-escalation needs to start right now.
00:03:40.000I mean, enough of this. Imagine for a second if the Biden administration had reversed those positions.
00:03:45.000And when it came to Ukraine, they said, we are going to provide the amount of aid necessary in order for you to protect your borders.
00:03:50.000And we're going to push for an off ramp.
00:03:52.000And when it came to Israel, they had said, you get what you need in order to destroy your enemies.
00:03:55.000And we will stand back and watch with glee as you take out Hamas, Hezbollah and all the Iranian proxy groups.
00:04:13.000He's being held in the Gaza Strip by Hamas ever since October 7th.
00:04:18.000And he suggested, quite rightly, that if the Biden administration had any brains at all, or really any spine, what they would be doing right now is they would be saying to Iran, we will let Israel completely off the chain to destroy your nuclear facilities unless you get Hamas to release the hostages, and tomorrow the hostages would be out.
00:04:35.000By the way, instead, here's what is going on, and here's where the impeachable stuff comes in.
00:04:42.000The Biden administration is putting open pressure right now on the state of Israel to let in aid to the Gaza Strip.
00:04:48.000Now, do I think that this is really about aid for the Gaza Strip?
00:04:50.000I do not. The reason I do not think that this is about aid for the Gaza Strip is because it is well known that Hamas is stealing about 50% of all aid that is going into the Gaza Strip at this point.
00:05:00.000According to the New York Post, Hamas terrorists were captured on video taking control of 47 of 100 aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip on Tuesday alone.
00:05:11.000Channel 12's Ahmad Boker reported, quote, It is no secret that Hamas takes control of humanitarian aid.
00:05:16.000We've already published here tapes of Hamas in which you can hear them saying themselves they have no more room in their own warehouses.
00:05:21.000But this evening we also bring special documentation of what it looks like from inside with cameras that are tracking it in real time.
00:05:28.000Where is the aid supposed to be dropped off?
00:05:30.000Well, it's supposed to be dropped with members of the UNRWA, which is a Hamas front group.
00:05:34.000So, yesterday, the Biden administration warned Israel that they would withdraw military aid if Israel did not facilitate large-scale entry of humanitarian aid into the northern Gaza Strip.
00:05:46.000In a letter to senior Israeli officials, according to the Wall Street Journal, dated October 13th and signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the U.S. blamed Israel for a drastic drop in humanitarian aid into Gaza that contributed to starvation and widespread suffering, particularly in the enclaves north, where Israel launched a renewed ground operation nearly two weeks ago.
00:06:04.000The top American officials gave Israel 30 days to, quote, reverse the downward humanitarian trajectory or else it may have implications for future weapons transfers and funding under U.S. law.
00:06:14.000Blinken and Austin specifically cite a part of Foreign Assistance Act that bars the U.S. from providing security aid to any nation that, quote, prohibits or otherwise restricts directly or indirectly the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance.
00:06:26.000The State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, said Tuesday, we have seen Israel make changes before.
00:06:30.000When they make changes, humanitarian assistance can increase.
00:06:32.000Now, here is the reason I am skeptical that the threat to withdraw aid is about the humanitarian assistance in the northern Gaza Strip.
00:06:39.000Reason number one, Israel has been shipping in enormous sums of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip for months at this point.
00:06:44.000We are talking about basically 2,500 calories per person per day in the Gaza Strip for months on end into an area that Where the civilians are still largely aligned with Hamas and where Israeli hostages are still being held captives including multiple Americans.
00:07:00.000So do I think that this is about the humanitarian assistance?
00:07:03.000No, I do not. I actually think what this is, it is an excuse.
00:07:06.000They're looking for a legal excuse to embargo Israel in order to threaten Israel not to do anything too big with Iran.
00:07:13.000Why? And here's where the other half of the story comes in.
00:07:16.000Here's where the impeachable stuff comes in.
00:07:18.000So, just yesterday, the Washington Post reported that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, had told Israel that Israel will strike Iranian military, not nuclear or oil targets.
00:07:28.000Buried in this Washington Post article is a bit of a revelation.
00:07:33.000According to the Washington Post, the White House had no immediate comment.
00:07:36.000The Israeli Prime Minister's office said in a statement, quote, We listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interests.
00:07:43.000However, according to the Washington Post, quote, The retaliatory action would be calibrated to avoid the perception of political interference in the U.S. elections, the official familiar with the matter said, signaling Netanyahu's understanding the scope of the Israeli strike has the potential to reshape the presidential race.
00:08:00.000Let's just make very clear what is happening right now.
00:08:03.000That admission right there, that this is about the U.S. presidential race, that there is pressure being put on the Israeli government not to retaliate against Iran, which fired 181 ballistic missiles into Israel, That that pressure not to go too hard is being driven by electoral concerns and that humanitarian war aid to Israel is being withdrawn or threatened to be withdrawn by the U.S. government in order to get Israel to do less with Iran in advance of the election.
00:08:30.000You know what that looks an awful lot like?
00:08:32.000That looks an awful lot like electioneering with foreign aid.
00:08:35.000That looks an awful lot like what Democrats impeached Donald Trump for in 2019.
00:08:40.000That's what that sounds like. It sounds, as you put those two pieces of the puzzle together, piece number one, the United States openly threatening withdrawal of military aid to Israel supposedly based on humanitarian assistance concerns, which is clearly not the case.
00:08:53.000And two, the story that says that Israel is going to hold back the full brunt of an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities in order to facilitate, that's what that means, to facilitate the The election efforts of Kamala Harris, and that is the 2019 impeachment case in a nutshell.
00:09:11.000That is, in fact, remember, Kamala Harris is part of these phone calls.
00:09:14.000She's been on every phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu for weeks.
00:09:20.000So she and her campaign are saying to Netanyahu, don't go too hard on Iran.
00:09:25.000And simultaneously, the Secretary of State is saying, and by the way, you should just know your military aid might get put on hold.
00:09:32.000That sounds an awful lot like that 2019 impeachment charge against Donald Trump.
00:09:38.000But I guess it's fine, so long as it's a Democrat, which is, of course, the case.
00:09:43.000The media have no interest in whether or not foreign aid provisions are being violated, so long as we're not talking about Ukraine and Donald Trump, apparently.
00:09:52.000Meanwhile, the continued freakout is, in fact, maintaining for Kamala Harris.
00:09:57.000There's some national polling numbers that have come out over the course of the last 24 hours that are fairly good for Kamala Harris.
00:10:02.000The problem for her, of course, is that this election is not going to come down to national numbers.
00:10:06.000This election is going to come down to the state numbers.
00:10:09.000There are a couple new national polls, one from Marist that has Harris up five, one from Marquette that has them in a tie.
00:10:15.000But in the state polling, Donald Trump has made some fairly significant gains.
00:10:20.000Here are the last state polling numbers from Michigan.
00:10:23.000Trump plus two, plus two, plus one, minus two, plus four, tie, plus two, plus one.
00:10:28.000Those are all the latest polls from Michigan.
00:10:31.000Check out Pennsylvania. Trump, plus three, plus one, minus two, plus two, plus one, plus one, minus three, plus three.
00:10:40.000One of these polls could be right. All the rest could be wrong.
00:10:43.000But in the majority of the polls in these swing states, Donald Trump is currently winning.
00:10:48.000That is a problem, obviously, for Kamala Harris, and she's lagging with particular crowds.
00:10:52.000She's obviously lagging with Pennsylvania Catholics, for example.
00:10:56.000It was very weird back in the debate that she did with Donald Trump.
00:10:58.000There was one point where she started citing Donald Trump and NATO as a reason for Pennsylvania's Polish population to vote for her, as though Donald Trump and his talk about making members of NATO pay their fair share, as though that was going to get Pennsylvania Polish constituents out to the polls.
00:11:17.000That of course is silly. That is cutting directly against another problem.
00:11:22.000Pennsylvania Poles tend to be Catholics.
00:11:24.000Kamala Harris has a huge problem with Catholics, but you know what's a big problem for you?

00:13:46.000As William McGurn writes in the Wall Street Journal today, it's not just gaffes that could hurt the vice president in the Keystone State.
00:13:52.000Throughout her career as a public official, Kamala Harris has long used government power to try to coerce people of faith to violate their consciences, especially regarding abortion and gender ideology, according to Kristen Wagoner, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom, which protects religious liberty.
00:14:08.000As California's AG, she signed several friend-of-the-court briefs opposing religious exemptions for private employers like Hobby Lobby and religious nonprofits like Little Sisters of the Poor.
00:14:17.000She said she was proud to have co-sponsored California's Reproductive Fact Act, which compelled pro-life pregnancy centers to display notices about where women could get an abortion.
00:14:26.000And then, of course, you'll recall that there was one point where she grilled...
00:14:30.000A judicial nominee named Brian Buescher about his membership in the Knights of Columbus, suggesting that the Knights of Columbus, which is a Catholic men's fraternal organization, is effectively some sort of KKK-like organization.
00:14:42.000She's got real problems with the religious people, and that is not letting up, given the fact that you now have people like Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, doing lesbian knockoffs of communion with author and influencer Liz Plank, On Friday, the Michigan Catholic Conference, the church's lobbying arm in the state, published a statement to express profound disappointment and offense taken at the actions in the video.
00:15:04.000Now again, these are big boo-boos that are happening from the Kamala Harris campaign, over and over and over.
00:15:11.000And of course, she is now being relegated to pitching for black men, which is a very weird thing for a black candidate for higher office to have to do in the United States.
00:15:21.000Two and a half weeks from an election?
00:15:24.000If Kamala Harris is relegated to defending her ground with black men in the United States two and a half weeks from an election, that is bad news for her.
00:15:31.000And again, the way that she's doing that is truly paternalistic and ridiculous.
00:15:36.000And if a white person did, it would be perceived pretty obviously as racist.
00:15:39.000She's basically saying to black men, I'm going to throw money at you.
00:15:44.000She wants $20,000 in forgivable government loans for 1 million minorities to start businesses.
00:15:49.000Virtually all of those, of course, will immediately be forgiven.
00:15:52.000And she's directing the minorities, which means that it's unconstitutional.
00:15:56.000This is not the first time that Democrats have tried to do this.
00:15:59.000In March 2021, they pushed a loan forgiveness program in the March 2021 COVID bill for socially disadvantaged farmers who are defined as those who are Black, American Indian, Hispanic, Asian, and Pacific Islander.
00:16:14.000Also, she says she wants to legalize pot.
00:16:15.000So, the lady who was famous for locking people up for pot in California is so famous that Tulsi Gabbard wrecked her on a debate stage over it.
00:16:21.000Now, she says she wants to legalize and help minorities get into the drug business.
00:16:48.000It just is not. And so now, as we've been saying for a while, they've been forced into desperation plays.
00:16:53.000Their latest desperation play is being pushed by Matt Drudge over at Drudge Report.
00:16:56.000So Matt Drudge has basically become a stenographer and chief narrative advisor for the Democratic Party at this point.
00:17:01.000Not sure what happened to Matt. There was a point when Drudge Report was quite interesting.
00:17:05.000It's always very well done and well organized, but he has become a full-time cheerleader for Kamala Harris.
00:17:10.000Not sure what Donald Trump did to piss him off, but...
00:17:13.000He's the one who's driving the democratic narrative every day.
00:17:15.000Today, the headline over Drudge Report is a picture of Trump and it just says, American Psycho.
00:17:22.000And it is a link to Matt Labusch's column in which he labels Trump as such.
00:17:27.000Again, the narrative that they're trying to build now is that Trump is crazy.
00:17:31.000If you're relegated to Trump is crazy, you're toast.
00:17:34.000I'm sorry. That is not a dog that is going to hunt in this.
00:17:36.000Everyone who thinks Trump is crazy is already voting against him.
00:17:39.000There are zero moderates in the country who are thinking about voting for Trump who are willing to buy that Trump is just so full-scale insane he can't be president.
00:17:46.000Again, we have already established a baseline of people in the United States who believe that Donald Trump, under no circumstances, can be president of the United States.
00:17:54.000That baseline is somewhere between 46% and 48%.
00:17:58.000That's what Kamala Harris' voting base is right now.
00:18:00.000It is all people who say that there is a barrier to entry for Donald Trump getting in and that he has the character that is unfit to be president of the United States.
00:18:09.000That argument's been made one million times.
00:18:11.000And guess what? It is not going to get Kamala Harris over the hump.
00:18:13.000If she's having to go back to arguments that appeal chiefly to people who are already voting for her, that's a real problem.
00:20:59.000The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground, providing food, shelter, and safety to those in need during this crisis.
00:21:04.000Since the war started, thousands of reservists, everyday Israeli citizens, have left their families to serve their country.
00:21:09.000Soldiers have been injured. Their families need our support.
00:21:11.000Their gift of $45 today helps the fellowship provide food and other necessities to these families to help them survive.

00:22:32.000However, is this stopping people like, for example, David Chalian from claiming that Donald Trump is demented, that he has dementia because he's dancing?
00:22:40.000Is David Chalian the political director at CNN? Let's be clear.
00:22:45.000That's not normal behavior for a candidate, right?
00:22:56.000So we should just separate that out that, you know, here we are three weeks out from an election, and he's doing something that he's never done before, and that is clearly different than what presidential candidates normally do.
00:23:05.000What's going on with Donald Trump that he is...
00:23:09.000Feeling himself differently in public or canceling interviews.
00:23:20.000We don't know that. But he is not sort of following some programmatic script here, right?
00:23:25.000He seems to be having some, you know, different sensibility about what it is he wants to do.
00:23:33.000It reminds me when he was talking about how he does the weave when he's so incoherent and he comes up with a name to sort of label what that is when he's totally incoherent.
00:23:41.000And I just think that, again, I don't know.
00:23:43.000We have no idea if he's okay or not because he doesn't release his medical records.
00:24:04.000Him doing like this little impromptu dance party, if that's the best you got, which is that Donald Trump is a...
00:24:08.000Also, there are two mutually exclusive arguments that are being made right now.
00:24:11.000One is that Donald Trump is a deep Hitlerian threat to the Republic, which requires, you know, a little bit of...
00:24:17.000Mental aptitude. And the other is, Donald Trump has completely lost his mind, and he's dancing around on stage to YMCA, and so clearly he can't be president.
00:24:25.000You gotta pick one of these arguments.
00:24:26.000You can't have both of them. The best expositor of the Donald Trump has dementia argument is former Democratic congressman from New York, Max Rose, who's openly claiming now that Donald Trump has dementia.
00:24:37.000By the way, it is very funny that the entire Democratic Party is now trying to make the case that Donald Trump has dementia when the current president of the United States that you are leaving in place as president of the United States clearly has dementia.
00:25:10.000On the same hand, I'd say the principal driving force of his incompetency is the fact that he is not all there.
00:25:18.000He's a couple of fries short of a Happy Meal at this point, and that's why he's standing up there, dancing to the YMCA. He can barely do the YMCA if you actually check out the video.
00:25:32.000You don't even actually have to listen to his words.
00:25:34.000And it's just imperative at this point that the campaign pushes those two separate narratives.
00:25:39.000Grave threat and also just supremely incompetent.
00:25:44.000And entering the final stages of his life.
00:25:46.000You know, I feel bad for his family right now.
00:25:48.000I know so many people have to deal with their parents as they've gone through stages of dementia.
00:25:52.000And that's clearly what they are on the precipice of having to deal with now.
00:25:56.000now, but he certainly should go nowhere near the Oval Office.
00:26:20.000Here was Joe Biden stumping for Kamala Harris yesterday at the same time they're trying to make the claim that Donald Trump has lost it.
00:26:26.000They're trotting out Joe Biden as though everything is totally normal, even though they legitimately took away his nomination and gave it to a lady who had earned zero votes ever in a primary.
00:27:01.000Rose, explain to me how you get from Donald Trump dancing on stage at a rally with a bunch of his supporters that that's demented, but then Joe Biden is totally fine and you should leave him as president.
00:27:15.000As we say, Kamala Harris is having to go to some risky places and to some less risky places.
00:27:21.000So she is going to do Brett Baer's show tonight.
00:27:23.000It'll be fascinating to see what happens when she's asked some actual tough questions and the network that airs it doesn't decide to cut her and prevent her from speaking in her mangled, circuitous sentences.
00:27:38.000So she went on Charlemagne the God yesterday and Charlemagne the God, whose actual real name is Leonard, by the way.
00:27:43.000I should just point that out. Because, you know, anytime you title yourself Charlemagne the God, I feel like we should have to mention your actual real name.
00:27:50.000Anytime you compare yourself to God or a God, I feel like it's an obligation to give your birth name as well.
00:27:56.000In any case, Charlemagne the God had on Kamala Harris.
00:27:59.000And Kamala Harris had many things to say, all of them pandering.
00:28:02.000At one point, she suggested that she would look into racial reparations.
00:28:08.000Here we go. So, to your point, yes, I am running to be a president for all Americans.
00:28:16.000That being said, I do have clear eyes about the disparities that exist and the context in which they exist, meaning history, to your point.
00:28:29.000So my agenda, well, first of all, on the point of reparations, it has to be studied.
00:28:35.000And I've been very clear about that position.
00:28:37.000Okay, so how are you feeling about racial reparations, America?
00:28:40.000You've got $35 trillion in national debt.
00:28:42.000There's legitimately no way to actually enact racial reparations.
00:28:45.000There's no way even to separate out the strains of what has been caused in terms of disparity by, for example, slavery, which ended in the United States in 1865 at the end of the Civil War, effectively.
00:29:00.000I mean, I've checked a calendar that's 160 years ago.
00:29:03.000How exactly are you going to separate even the strains of Jim Crow out?
00:29:06.000That ended in 1965, which is now 60 years ago.
00:29:10.000How are you going to separate that out from the disparities that currently exist in terms of, say, wealth and income earnings?
00:29:16.000How are you going to do that? She has no plan for that.
00:29:18.000It's all just pandering nonsense, but it's radical and racial pandering nonsense.
00:29:22.000She then adds that, you know, if you doubt me, I've always been in favor of these sort of racial giveaways.
00:29:28.000What would you say to the people that would consider the timing of this proposal as political timing?
00:29:35.000And how would you speak to the sentiment that support for black men is only sought out during election cycles and feels that building trust requires consistent engagement and genuine investment into the community outside of election periods?
00:29:51.000And political benefits for politicians.
00:29:54.000Ann may view that some people in the Democrat Party use Black Americans to play identity politics.
00:30:01.000So first of all, thank you for your question and for being here.
00:30:08.000You can look at all my work before those 70 days to know that what I'm talking about right now is not new and is not for the sake of winning this election.
00:30:19.000Wait, you were always calling for $20,000 giveaways to black business owners as well as legalizing them for the sake of black men?
00:30:26.000That's weird because I remember a whole part of your career where none of that was true.
00:30:31.000But if, as she says, her values have never changed, then you should probably take her word when it comes to things like racial separatism and racial giveaways.
00:30:39.000Meanwhile, Kamala's making the point, she's actually, a caller called in to Charlemagne of the God and suggested that Donald Trump might put minorities in jail, just like randomly jail people based on skin color.
00:30:49.000Here is Kamala Harris, who's most famous for locking up a lot of black men in California, actually as AG. Could you please respond to Trump's claim that he's going to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to round up immigrants if he wins the election?
00:31:07.000This law was last used to put Asian Americans in internment camps during World War II, and I have a sneaking suspicion that if Trump wins, he's going to use this law to put anyone that doesn't look white in camps, and I'm scared.
00:31:24.000Yeah, so you've hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well, which is he is achieving his intended effect to make you scared.
00:31:37.000He is running full-time on a campaign that is about instilling fear.
00:31:56.000Also, if you're not white in the United States, he might lock you up in an internment camp.
00:32:00.000Don't worry, he's the one running on fear, says Kamala Harris.
00:32:04.000She also spent some time denying that she and Joe Biden weren't anyway responsible for opening the border wide in the United States.
00:32:10.000Anywhere from 6.5 million to 11 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States since Kamala Harris took office as vice president.
00:32:17.000But doesn't the Biden administration have to take some blame for the border, though?
00:32:21.000A lot of the blame? Because, I mean, the first three years, y'all did get a lot of things wrong with the border.
00:32:25.000No, Charlemagne, within hours of being inaugurated, the first bill we passed before we did the Inflation Reduction Act, before we did the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, before we did the Safer Communities Act to deal with gun violence, first thing we dropped was a bill to fix the broken immigration system.
00:32:46.000Actually, that bill basically just amnestied everybody in the country illegally.
00:32:55.000It is hard to see that in the states that matter.
00:32:58.000And that presumably is why she's doing Brett Baier tonight.
00:33:01.000That's it. She's making desperation moves now.
00:33:02.000When she talks about going on Joe Rogan, or when she talks about doing Brett Baier on Fox News, what she's basically saying is, I don't have the votes in my pocket that I need.
00:33:09.000She's not taking risk for the sake of taking risk.
00:33:11.000She's the most risk averse politician in modern American history.
00:33:14.000This is a lady who hid from every media question for six weeks.
00:33:17.000We had a running calendar on this show of her not being asked any single serious question.
00:33:22.000The reason that she is now exposing herself to opposing fire is because she knows that she's in trouble in this election.
00:33:30.000Well, Kamala Harris apparently believes that it's crucial in the late stages of this election cycle to reach out to black men.
00:33:44.000you it is called Helix. Now I don't endorse products lightly. Helix has changed my life.

00:34:39.000On October 28th, Matt Walsh's hit comedy, Am I Racist, is coming home to Daily Wire Plus.
00:34:43.000When it hit theaters this September, it immediately became the number one new comedy in America.
00:34:47.000It is now officially the number one documentary of the last decade.
00:34:50.000That is worth repeating to really irritate our friends on the left.
00:34:53.000Am I Racist? is the number one documentary of the decade.
00:34:56.000Plus, it's verified hot on Rotten Tomatoes with a 97% audience score.
00:35:01.000Now, Matt's personal journey through the weird wasteland of woke insanity is coming exclusively to Daily Wire Plus October 28th.
00:35:07.000Your couch is your front row seat to witness Matt going undercover to hilariously dismantle DEI. But Daily Wire Plus is the only place you can stream Am I Racist at Home?
00:35:48.000And a lot of people across the country are going, whoa, hold up a second.
00:35:50.000If crime is down, why did somebody break in my car last week?
00:35:54.000You know, anecdotal evidence is not actual statistical evidence.
00:35:57.000What happened to you and your life may not be representative of what happened to the rest of Americans.
00:36:01.000Well, now it turns out it kind of is representative of what happened to the rest of Americans.
00:36:04.000According to John Lott, writing for Real Clear Investigations, when the FBI originally released the final crime data for 2022 in September 2023, It reported that the nation's violent crime rate fell by 2.1%.
00:36:15.000This quickly became and remains a Democratic talking point to counter Donald Trump's claims of soaring crime.
00:36:20.000But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022.
00:36:26.000By 4.5%, the new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.
00:36:33.000The Bureau has made no mention of these revisions in its September 2024 press release.
00:36:37.000The RCI discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the FBI website that states, quote, the 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS 2023.
00:36:46.000But there's no mention the numbers increased.
00:36:47.000One only sees the change by downloading the FBI's new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year.
00:36:53.000After the FBI released that new crime data in September, a USA Today headline read, It's been over three weeks since the FBI released the revised data.
00:37:04.000The Bureau's lack of acknowledgement or explanation about the significant change should concern researchers.
00:37:09.000I've checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022, says Carl Moody, professor at the College of William& Mary.
00:37:14.000There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015.
00:37:17.000From 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point.
00:37:21.000The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it hard to trust the FBI data.
00:37:29.000The FBI did not respond to RCI's repeated request for comment.
00:37:33.000The actual changes in crimes are extensive.
00:37:35.000The updated data for 2022 report there were 80,000 more violent crimes than in 2021.
00:37:40.000There were additional 1,699 murders, 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies, and 37,091 aggravated assaults.
00:37:51.000So how exactly are you supposed to believe their 2023 numbers when they were lying about their 2022 numbers by leaps and bounds?
00:37:59.000Without that increase, the drop in violent crime in 2023 would have been less than half as large, only 1.6% instead of the reported drop of 3.5%.
00:38:07.000Also, the FBI crime data relies on reported crimes.
00:38:12.000Most crimes go unreported, with only about 45% of violent crimes and 30% of property crimes brought to the police's attention.
00:38:18.000Since the FBI only tracks reported incidents and the gap is so large, researchers argue that when the media discuss crime rates based on FBI data, they should clarify it reflects reported crime, not give the impression that total crime is changing.
00:38:30.000So it turns out that the FBI basically buried its numbers and then didn't change the public facing of the numbers.
00:38:54.000What? So, once more, you want to undermine trust in our institutions.
00:38:58.000This is an amazing way to do that, for sure.
00:39:02.000And it is totally incredible because, again, the Biden-Harris administration has been reliant on those FBI statistics to proclaim that despite their soft-on-crime policies, despite seeking consent decrees with every police department in the country, and hampering the police's ability to do their job, that crime somehow has been plummeting.
00:39:18.000All this is part and parcel of a bad left-wing take on crime in which the disconnect between the people who cover crime or the people who deal with crime and the victims of the crime is extraordinary.
00:39:29.000So, for example, amazing clip on CNN last night.
00:39:32.000So last night, Ryan Godursky, who does a wonderful job, he was on CNN and he was talking about violent crime in the United States.
00:39:38.000And he mentioned the so-called Ferguson effect.
00:39:41.000That is a term that was coined by Heather McDonald in the aftermath of the 2014 justifiable killing of Michael Brown.
00:39:48.000Which half the Democratic Party, including Kamala Harris, declared effectively an extrajudicial murder by an officer.
00:39:54.000The effect of Ferguson and the Michael Brown shooting was that cops stopped doing their job.
00:39:59.000Cops across the country stopped policing.
00:40:01.000You need a proactive police force to actually intervene to stop crime.
00:40:04.000You need them doing things like stop and frisk in high crime areas.
00:40:08.000You need the police ready to engage with suspects.
00:40:11.000And instead, after Ferguson, because of the possibility that if you do your job, you're going to be dragged through a raging mob in media, many officers were like, no, I'm not doing that anymore.
00:41:04.000The surge of violent crime, it was like Ferguson, the Ferguson effect and the Floyd effect.
00:41:09.000Respectfully, you gotta explain to me how George Floyd's death resulted in 15.
00:41:14.000Yes, because what happens is after the Ferguson riot and after the Floyd riot, You're literally making a connection out of your own conjecture.
00:41:34.000It's a real thing. Look up the Ferguson effect.
00:41:36.000Look up the Floyd effect. It is a real term.
00:41:47.000It's a real thing. You can look it up. It doesn't mean it's right.
00:41:51.000It doesn't mean it's right. I mean, this is CNN. Do you trust your media?
00:41:54.000Do you trust the FBI's statistics at this point?
00:41:56.000It's very difficult to figure out who the hell to trust, given the fact that everyone seems to be lying a lot of the time, or at least willfully ignorant about things a huge percentage of the time.
00:42:04.000So that crime talking point, I certainly hope that Kamala Harris is asked about that by Brett Baer on Fox News tonight.
00:42:09.000I'd love to hear her explain their amazing record on crime when the FBI is revising their violent crime statistics up.
00:42:15.000In 2022, really well done there, FBI. As always, doing an amazing job.
00:42:20.000Meanwhile, the difference between the lions and the scavengers on the economic front continues to be quite wide.
00:42:25.000I've talked about this model of thinking before.
00:42:28.000The lion is the person who wishes to be productive in American society, who utilizes private property and free markets in order to innovate and make life better for themselves and for everyone around them.
00:42:36.000And the scavengers are people who seek to tear down the system because they just believe that inequality of outcome is representative of a defect in the system.
00:42:45.000I have never seen, I think, quite this clear a contrast between the two parties on this matter as this year.
00:42:51.000Tim Walls, who is the weirdo vice presidential candidate that Kamala Harris picked in lieu of the popular Pennsylvania governor because he can't pick a Jew.
00:42:58.000Well, he did an event in Bolent, Pennsylvania yesterday for rural voters.
00:43:05.000And he showed up looking like a stereotypical rural guy, he's wearing flannel and a hat, you know, like one of the boys when he's not making jazz hands at them.
00:43:16.000And there he explained cogently his economic program, which amounts to me big stupid man no understand venture capital.
00:43:26.000And Senator Vance, he became a media darling.
00:43:28.000He wrote a book about the place he grew up, but the premise was trashing that place where he grew up, rather than lifting it up.
00:43:37.000This guy's a venture capitalist cosplaying like he's a cowboy or something.
00:43:41.000I don't even know what a venture capitalist does most of the time.
00:43:46.000Okay, so there are so many things here.
00:43:49.000One, somebody who's a success story from rural Appalachia should be cheered for that.
00:43:55.000Tim Walz has a habit of tearing that down.
00:43:56.000It's the politics of envy. J.D. Vance made something of himself that didn't involve being a public school teacher and then a career government bureaucrat, which is what Tim Walz is.
00:44:05.000But beyond that, that latest statement, I don't understand what a venture capitalist does, then you shouldn't be the vice president of the United States.
00:44:13.000I would say that actually it's quite important to understand what a venture capitalist does in the United States.
00:44:18.000If you wish to be at the top of the regulatory pyramid in the United States, for those who don't know, a venture capitalist is a person who invests in startup high-risk companies for a percentage of the company in order to generate the original capital necessary to start a company.
00:44:43.000If you say that you support startup businesses, venture capitalists are really, really important to that process.
00:44:48.000But he doesn't understand what they do.
00:44:49.000Of course he doesn't. He doesn't own real estate.
00:44:51.000He doesn't own stock. This doof took a government salary and apparently shoved it in his mattress like a financial genius.
00:44:57.000And now he wants to run the American economy?
00:44:59.000Tim Walz? It's absolutely unbelievable that a person with this level of economic incoherence has somehow achieved the near pinnacle of American power.
00:45:10.000This is a country that was founded effectively as a commercial republic.
00:45:14.000And now we have morons who don't understand what a venture capitalist does running for vice president of the United States.
00:45:24.000Meanwhile, Donald Trump went into an unfriendly space.
00:45:27.000So it is funny. The entire left-wing media are claiming that Donald Trump is avoiding unfriendly interviews.
00:45:30.000He's only doing shows like this one, where obviously I'm a supporter of President Trump.
00:45:34.000Not true. So yesterday he went to Bloomberg and he did a pretty, I'd say, adversarial interview with the Bloomberg interviewer.
00:45:41.000The Bloomberg editor-in-chief actually began by saying, you know, Kamala Harris was invited and she declined.
00:45:46.000Just for the record and for those people watching on television, the Economic Club of Chicago and Bloomberg both invited Vice President Harris to a similar interview about her economic plans.
00:46:40.000It came out last week that 425,000 people are horrible criminals at the highest level, but it came out that 13,099 were let in during their administration.
00:47:13.000We can't live with thousands of murderers.
00:47:18.000By the way, this is the person that Democrats are suggesting is senile because he danced at a rally.
00:47:22.000And then Donald Trump went after the Federal Reserve.
00:47:25.000And frankly, I found this amusing since I find the Federal Reserve to more generally be a negative to useless institution in American life since I prefer a gold standard.
00:47:34.000In any case, here is President Trump going after the Federal Reserve.
00:47:37.000I think it's the greatest job in government.
00:47:40.000You show up to the office once a month and you say, let's see, flip a coin.
00:47:47.000And everybody talks about you like you're a god.
00:47:49.000Oh, what will he do? I mean, before, the guy used to walk into my office, he was like begging, he was fine.
00:48:00.000I did, because he was keeping the rates too high.
00:48:05.000Okay, so again, it is very funny how it is true that many of the economists, they treat the Federal Reserve as though it's some sort of Roman bestial virgin who is going to read the auspices and explain exactly how the economy ought to work.
00:48:25.000A large-scale tariff across the board in the United States would inflate prices because that's what tariffs do.
00:48:30.000What tariffs do is they bar foreign competition or tax foreign competition and I think?
00:48:52.000Tariffs create too little product by limiting competition.
00:48:55.000As a general rule, this is not totally anti-tariff.
00:48:58.000Some tariffs are necessary for security purposes.
00:49:00.000But what tariffs do is they limit the availability of product with the same number of dollars.
00:49:04.000That will have some inflationary effect.
00:49:06.000Will it have a massive inflationary effect?
00:49:08.000Probably not. It'll have some, but not massive.
00:49:11.000You know what has a massive inflationary effect?
00:49:13.000Spending trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars and then pumping money into the economy via the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve.
00:49:21.000That's the point that Donald Trump was making about his inflation.
00:49:25.000People are betting that your policies are going to drive up debt, they're going to drive up inflation, so they're going to drive up inflation interest rates.
00:49:45.000And Biden, who has no idea where the hell he is, okay?
00:49:49.000Biden... Went two years with no inflation because he inherited from me.
00:49:53.000And then they started spending money like drunken sailors.
00:49:58.000Again, what Trump is saying here Is that you should trust his record and not always what he says, which, by the way, I think is a pretty good guy to Donald Trump as a politician.
00:50:07.000The reason that I'm voting for him and supporting him is because I liked what he did in his first term.
00:50:10.000Do I think that he's going to do everything he says he's going to?
00:50:12.000Do I think that Donald Trump has the unilateral capacity as president of the United States to simply tariff at 10% every product coming from abroad?
00:50:20.000No, I don't. I don't see what authority he has as the executive branch leader to do that.
00:50:25.000You'd actually need an act of Congress to do some of those things.
00:50:28.000What I do know is that Donald Trump is extremely pragmatic about the economy.
00:50:33.000You know what he doesn't want? Inflation and higher prices.
00:50:35.000And if he tries something that doesn't work, you know what he's going to do?
00:50:37.000Reverse it. Because that's who Donald Trump is.
00:50:40.000Okay. In just a moment, we are going to get to the sad fate of Joe Biden.
00:50:44.000It is amazing. Nancy Pelosi, who's older than Joe Biden, shoved him out the door.
00:50:48.000And now she's saying, I haven't even talked to him lately.
