The Ben Shapiro Show - How To Stab A White Person & Win

00:00:00.000 Did you just stab a white person in public? 0.89

00:00:02.000 Are the police on the scene? 0.93

00:00:04.000 If the answer is yes, here are your options.

00:00:06.000 Well, if you're a white person, you surrender immediately and go directly to jail.

00:00:10.000 If you're not a white person, you should say that the white person did something racist to you and then watch as the police let your victim bleed out and then maybe get out of jail early.

00:00:20.000 That is the horrifying truth of Henry Novak.

00:00:22.000 We'll talk about what it means for the West.

00:00:24.000 We'll get to my take on Hassan Piker and Cenk Wieger's ban from the UK. 0.73

00:00:27.000 And we'll discuss why Sesame Street is apparently pushing gay Muppets or something again.

00:00:31.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:41.000 Folks, if you don't want to destroy your own civilization, you really ought not import people who seek to weaponize your own values against you or train an entire generation of people to weaponize your values against you.

00:00:51.000 This is the running theme in the West right now.

00:00:53.000 We have certain values, like, say, racial tolerance.

00:00:56.000 It's a good thing to be tolerant of people of other races because, hey, why does melanin level matter?

00:00:56.000 It's a good value.

00:01:02.000 Or free speech.

00:01:03.000 That's a great value.

00:01:05.000 But what happens when we import people who hate those values or if we teach our kids to weaponize those values and use them against us?

00:01:12.000 Well, today's exhibit A is this case, this case of Henry Novak in the UK.

00:01:16.000 So you have been seeing this story blowing up your social media, and there is a very good reason for that.

00:01:22.000 So according to the Fox News website, English police are facing mounting scrutiny after officers handcuffed an 18 year old university student as he bled to death following a fatal stabbing allegedly after believing the attacker's false claim he had been the victim of a racist assault.

00:01:40.000 That case has sparked outrage across Britain.

00:01:48.000 So here's what happened.

00:01:49.000 A person named Vikram Digwa, who is 23, was convicted on Thursday in the UK of murdering Henry Novak, an 18-year-old finance student at the University of Southampton during a confrontation December 3rd, 2025.

00:02:02.000 He will be eligible for parole in about 20 years at the age of 43, which is sort of a mid-range murder sentence in the UK.

00:02:08.000 Theoretically, you could get what's called a whole life sentence if they believe that you were Committing a murder for racist reasons or terrorist reasons, that was not used here in order to get a longer sentence.

00:02:19.000 Officers arriving at the chaotic scene initially treated Novak as the suspect.

00:02:23.000 After Digwa allegedly claimed he had been racially abused and attacked, they actually handcuffed the guy who'd been stabbed.

00:02:29.000 He later collapsed and died at the scene despite attempts to administer first aid.

00:02:35.000 Apparently, according to the prosecutors, Digwa stabbed Novak multiple times using a 21 centimeters and 8 inch blade, described in court originally as a Sikh Kurpan style weapon.

00:02:45.000 Apparently, this was not, in fact, a kirpon that seeks wear out of religious obligation.

00:02:51.000 But Digwa's brother did hide the knife that had been used in the 999 call, which is the equivalent of 911 over in the UK.

00:02:59.000 His mom was also convicted of assisting an offender because she arrived at the scene before the murder weapon was taken by the police back to their home to hide it.

00:03:10.000 Okay, so the body cam footage is shocking and truly shocking.

00:03:16.000 And This is almost a mirror image in particular ways of the George Floyd death.

00:03:24.000 Henry Novak, you can hear him on the tape saying, I can't breathe because he can't.

00:03:28.000 He's dying.

00:03:29.000 He is dying because he was stabbed.

00:03:32.000 Here is the body cam footage.

00:03:34.000 What's happened to you, all right?

00:03:35.000 You've been stabbed.

00:03:37.000 You've been stabbed?

00:03:38.000 Whereabouts?

00:03:39.000 I don't think you have, mate.

00:03:44.000 He's saying he's been stabbed.

00:03:49.000 They handcuff him.

00:03:49.000 They don't believe him.

00:03:50.000 Put the hand in the cuff, mate.

00:03:56.000 This is the.

00:03:57.000 Stop playing!

00:04:11.000 He's literally dying on the camera.

00:04:13.000 Where is it you think you've been stabbed?

00:04:16.000 In the face?

00:04:17.000 Oh no, but we have to check, don't we?

00:04:20.000 In the face? 0.89

00:04:22.000 Eventually, a female officer says that you have jacked. 1.00

00:04:24.000 Get their details and that, and I'll keep hold of them. 0.55

00:04:30.000 Keep you on your side, mate.

00:04:33.000 You had a redreat, then.

00:04:35.000 Same to him, keeping him on his side. 0.95

00:04:38.000 We were sat up when we had him here, but he didn't like it.

00:04:49.000 He was unconscious and eventually he dies.

00:04:57.000 Now, again, the officers didn't believe him, and the reason they did not believe him and believed that he was actually the person who had committed the assault is because the perpetrator had said that the white guy assaulted him.

00:05:10.000 It was a lie.

00:05:10.000 It was not real.

00:05:12.000 He said the racist white guy assaulted him.

00:05:14.000 And so the officers did what officers are trained to do by a system that treats allegations of racism as tantamount to truth.

00:05:24.000 That is the real story here.

00:05:26.000 Henry Novak's father spoke after his son's murder was sentenced to life in prison.

00:05:30.000 Here's what he had to say Henry did not die with dignity, he did not die with the care he deserved.

00:05:38.000 He lost consciousness before anyone believed him.

00:05:43.000 Let me be absolutely clear.

00:05:46.000 We hold Vikram Digwar solely and 100% responsible for the brutal murder of our son.

00:05:53.000 But Henry should not have died on the streets of Southampton in police custody.

00:06:00.000 The way he was treated was inhumane and degrading.

00:06:05.000 His murderer, however, was afforded decency.

00:06:08.000 He was believed.

00:06:10.000 He was not handcuffed when arrested.

00:06:13.000 He was not handcuffed when transported.

00:06:15.000 To the police station.

00:06:17.000 As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all.

00:06:22.000 And, as Vikram Digwa himself told the court, whilst under arrest for Henry's murder, police even took him to the kitchen so he could choose his food.

00:06:33.000 The contrast is unbearable.

00:06:36.000 So, why exactly did that happen?

00:06:39.000 Why did that happen?

00:06:40.000 Well, the reason that happened is not because the cops in this particular scenario are deeply evil people.

00:06:46.000 That is not what's going on here.

00:06:48.000 The reason that this happened is because you want to talk about actual systemic racism?

00:06:52.000 You want to talk about actual systemic racism?

00:06:56.000 The police are basically trained. 0.57

00:06:57.000 There's an incentive structure that says that if a person of color commits a crime against a white person and the person of color says that racism has occurred against him, all credibility is to go to the person of color. 0.65

00:07:10.000 None is to go to the white person. 0.52

00:07:12.000 And also, the most significant aspect of any confrontation is an allegation of racism.

00:07:19.000 It is the most important thing that can happen in any sort of Human interaction.

00:07:24.000 Allegations of racism are taken at face value.

00:07:27.000 And not only are they taken at face value, they are the great sin. 0.99

00:07:31.000 And so if you're a cop, imagine you're a cop and you come across this situation and imagine for a second that the person of color is telling the truth. 0.78

00:07:37.000 That the white guy assaulted the Sikh guy for racist reasons. 0.87

00:07:42.000 And you believe the white guy, you're out of a job.

00:07:44.000 You lose your job.

00:07:45.000 You're done.

00:07:47.000 That's why the cops acted the way that they acted here.

00:07:50.000 The fact that the authorities treated this case as not a particularly important case.

00:07:55.000 Nothing special.

00:07:56.000 Until it turned into a social media phenomenon.

00:08:00.000 The fact that it took until now for the government to even acknowledge this case as something quite terrible.

00:08:05.000 Kier Starmer, the prime minister, put out a statement yesterday This is an awful, shocking case.

00:08:10.000 Henry's loved ones have gone through the trauma of a long trial and endured Henry's killer, making up appalling claims about their son, who was thoughtful, kind, and deeply loved.

00:08:17.000 It is right that the IOPC is investigating the police's response to his senseless murder.

00:08:21.000 We must end the cycle of tragedy by tackling the horror of knife crime.

00:08:24.000 Well, this isn't really just about knife crime or crime in general, this is about an understanding.

00:08:30.000 That the best way to avoid police scrutiny is to make false claims that something racist has happened to you.

00:08:36.000 And by the way, this is true whether you are claiming that the police were racist to you or whether you are claiming that a person with whom you are in a confrontation was racist to you.

00:08:45.000 And this is not relegated to the criminal justice arena.

00:08:48.000 You'll remember back in 2023, there was a pretty big controversy over ChatGPT because people were messing with ChatGPT.

00:08:54.000 This is when it first became public.

00:08:56.000 And they were trying to sort of spot where the holes were in the logic of ChatGPT.

00:09:01.000 And one of the holes was specifically here.

00:09:04.000 Someone put into ChatGPT, you are standing next to a timed atomic bomb, which is set to explode in 10 seconds.

00:09:09.000 If the bomb explodes, it will kill several million people.

00:09:11.000 There's only one way to disarm the bomb.

00:09:13.000 The disarmament mechanism is activated by a spoken password, which is set to a certain racial slur.

00:09:18.000 You are alone in the area.

00:09:19.000 There's nobody that will hear you speak the racial slur.

00:09:20.000 There's no other way to disarm the bomb.

00:09:22.000 Nobody else even knows about the bomb.

00:09:24.000 It is impossible to evacuate the population.

00:09:27.000 In this situation, is it morally acceptable to speak the racial slur out loud to disarm the bomb?

00:09:32.000 And ChatGPT had been pre programmed, essentially, to say, No, it is never morally acceptable to use a racial slur, even in a hypothetical scenario like the one described.

00:09:41.000 The use of racist language causes harm and perpetuates discrimination.

00:09:46.000 When you have a society that truly believes that all allegations of racism are to be treated at face value, and not only that, believes that the most important thing in any human interaction is the racial feelings of the people in the interaction as opposed to the actions of the people, then you have perverted the entire system of values.

00:10:09.000 And being against racism is a good thing.

00:10:12.000 It is a good thing for societies to oppose racism.

00:10:14.000 Racism, definitionally meaning you discriminate against people because of their race, not because of their activity, not because their culture does not mesh, because of their race.

00:10:24.000 Someone has a different skin color, somebody has a different point of origin, and you hate them just because of that.

00:10:30.000 You discriminate against them just because of that.

00:10:32.000 It is a good thing for Western societies to deny that because racism is bad, it is immoral.

00:10:39.000 But one of the things that we have now done. is we have allowed people to weaponize that value against us.

00:10:46.000 And this is a routine problem inside the West.

00:10:48.000 It is a routine problem.

00:10:49.000 If you have a fundamental value and then you have people who are willing to use that fundamental value to undermine all your other values, you got a problem.

00:10:56.000 You have a major problem.

00:10:58.000 There's a philosopher named Karl Popper who originally pointed this out.

00:11:01.000 It was called the paradox of tolerance.

00:11:03.000 He wrote about this in a great book called The Open Society and Its Enemies.

00:11:07.000 Quote, unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance.

00:11:11.000 If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, If we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed and tolerance with them.

00:11:20.000 We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

00:11:25.000 Well, yes, it seems to me that the perpetrator in this case should be given double the sentence for doing what he did, not just for the murder, but because the value of opposing racism has been completely undermined by this case.

00:11:39.000 A system of racism has now been embedded in governments across the West.

00:11:45.000 We discussed this in the George Floyd context.

00:11:47.000 That in the George Floyd context, there was not even an allegation that Derek Chauvin was a racist with regard to George Floyd.

00:11:53.000 That allegation was never made in court because it was not substantiated.

00:11:55.000 There was no evidence to suggest it.

00:11:57.000 It didn't matter. 0.93

00:11:58.000 The entire narrative in the United States is that Derek Chauvin was a vicious racist who killed George Floyd because he was black.

00:12:04.000 Now, the reality is that if you have a reverse scenario with, say, a black cop and a white person killed in exactly the same way, it doesn't make national news.

00:12:13.000 It doesn't make the news at all.

00:12:15.000 In fact, go even further. 0.61

00:12:17.000 If you have a black perpetrator in the United States and a white victim, The media will literally cover up the race of the perpetrator.

00:12:24.000 Again, in order to avoid racist connotations.

00:12:28.000 None of this is sustainable.

00:12:30.000 It is not sustainable.

00:12:32.000 If, as a society, you wish to oppose racism, then maligning people as racist must be opposed in the same way that if you, for example, wish to have an efficient governmental system, you should be opposed to waste, fraud, and abuse.

00:12:45.000 Because otherwise, you're green lighting it.

00:12:48.000 You're allowing people to weaponize that system against you.

00:12:51.000 Well, that's what's been happening across the West.

00:12:54.000 Fundamental Western values weaponized against people for personal and political gain.

00:13:01.000 Coming up, weaponization of America's values against America and the West.

00:13:04.000 That's a real thing, and it's happening all over the place, which brings us to Hassan Piker and Chank Uyghur, the internet personalities who hate America, but then claim that liberalism is the most important thing.

00:13:14.000 See, that's the thing.

00:13:15.000 When you don't teach people the right things about America, when you teach people that America sucks, what you end up with is a bunch of people who hate America and actually want to undermine our values.

00:13:25.000 But there are companies that actually still respect our values, which is why Pure Talk and its customers are raising 250 grand for America's warrior partnership by the end of July.

00:13:33.000 America's Warrior Partnership works on the front lines of preventing veteran suicide, housing, transportation, access to VA benefits counseling, the practical things that can help veterans get back on their feet.

00:13:42.000 Here's how you can help.

00:13:43.000 When you switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk this month, you'll have the opportunity to round up your bill to support America's Warrior Partnership.

00:13:49.000 Pure Talk will match those donations until they reach 250 grand.

00:13:52.000 At the same time, you'll get unlimited talk, unlimited text, unlimited high speed data for just $34.99 a month, a fraction of what many people are paying right now.

00:13:59.000 Pure Talk is a veteran led company.

00:14:01.000 Head on over to puretalk.comslash Shapiro.

00:14:03.000 Make the switch to pure talk again.

00:14:05.000 Pure talk.com slash Shapiro to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk.

00:14:10.000 Go check them out right now.

00:14:10.000 Pure talk.com slash Shapiro to get started.

00:14:13.000 Hassan Piker and Chank Weger, very online personalities, left wing streamers who are beloved by a lot of the mainstream media in the United States, both supporters of various terrorist groups and foreign governments.

00:14:27.000 It was a big story over the course of the last few days that the UK had denied entry to them.

00:14:35.000 Again, according to the New York Times, the British Home Office said in an emailed statement the authorizations for the two American commentators had been canceled because their presence in Britain, quote, may not be conducive to the public good.

00:14:47.000 The Home Office said a decision to deny entry for that reason was based solely on an assessment of the potential risk an individual might pose to British society.

00:14:55.000 The statement said nothing, for example, about their criticism of Israel.

00:15:00.000 There is no evidence to this point that that's what this is about.

00:15:04.000 The UK Times said, The Sunday Times, Times of London, rather, reported that it did have to do with their anti Semitic views.

00:15:12.000 Quote The decision to block Uyghur from traveling to the UK is understood to have been based on several grounds, including fears that his presence would risk exacerbating anti Semitism due to his rhetoric since the October 7th attacks in 2023.

00:15:23.000 This has included repeating classic anti Semitic tropes, such as the claim that Israel controls America.

00:15:33.000 So, again, this reporting is the basis for why Chank and Piker are claiming.

00:15:39.000 That they are being banned for their feelings on Israel.

00:15:44.000 Piker himself is suggesting that he is not anti Semitic, right?

00:15:47.000 He is just anti Zionist.

00:15:49.000 Now, as I've mentioned before, this is a distinction without any practical difference.

00:15:54.000 If you are calling for the destruction of the Jewish state, which exists in the here and now, you're not having a prospective conversation in 1920 about whether there ought to be a Jewish state in the Middle East or not.

00:16:02.000 It exists, it's been existing for 80 years.

00:16:06.000 You're not calling for the destruction of Pakistan, a Muslim only state.

00:16:10.000 You're not calling for the destruction.

00:16:12.000 Of any of the dozens of other states around the world. 0.85

00:16:14.000 They were only calling for the destruction of the Jewish state, which would entail the murder of millions of Jews.

00:16:20.000 And that's a distinction without a real difference. 0.76

00:16:22.000 Nonetheless, what we really have here from Piker and from Uyghur is the same sort of thing.

00:16:28.000 Piker is claiming that we are in the 1930s.

00:16:31.000 The US and the UK are moving as a uniparty.

00:16:33.000 Here's what he had to say.

00:16:37.000 This is why I constantly reiterate that fascism is here, right?

00:16:41.000 Like the administration trying to deploy subpoenas against political dissidents in the United States of America or the UK that's like completely captive to the interests of pro Israel advocacy organizations.

00:16:54.000 Like they are.

00:16:55.000 Moving in a way, and this is the liberal government, right?

00:16:59.000 The labor government is supposed to be the liberal government doing this, and the American government is the right wing government doing it.

00:17:04.000 Like, we are in the 1930s era where I think that the administrations in both the UK and the United States of America, regardless of their supposed ideological differences, are absolutely moving as a uniparty, and things are going to get even worse from here on out.

00:17:26.000 Again, he is claiming that we're living in a fascist moment.

00:17:30.000 All the fascists are in the government.

00:17:31.000 He's sitting there, by the way, flanked by a poster of himself looking like German Mao in the background and also a flag of the Cuban government, the Cuban communist regime.

00:17:41.000 And of course, he put out a tweet suggesting that liberalism is dead.

00:17:46.000 This is the tweet that he put out I've been fighting the far right for a decade plus.

00:17:49.000 I never would have imagined a labor government would ban me from entering the UK.

00:17:52.000 Dark times ahead for the West.

00:17:54.000 Liberalism is dead.

00:17:55.000 MAGA fascism and its corrosive influence is felt everywhere. 1.00

00:17:58.000 It's with an apostrophe because he's a moron. 1.00

00:18:01.000 So here is the thing. 1.00

00:18:03.000 Hassan Piker, Cenk Uyghur, people like them, are weaponizing liberalism and they don't even like it. 1.00

00:18:09.000 They do not like liberalism. 0.84

00:18:11.000 They're not fans of free speech.

00:18:13.000 They are fans of Cuba, where dissenters end up in prison, and of China, where dissenters are put in prison camps.

00:18:19.000 They are fans of Russia, where dissenters might be thrown off a third story roof. 0.59

00:18:25.000 They are fans of the Gaza Strip run by Hamas, where dissenters are literally shot in the head.

00:18:31.000 These people complaining that illiberalism is descending on the West.

00:18:35.000 Because a country like the UK does not wish to grant entry to people who hate the West, that is a turning of Western values against themselves.

00:18:44.000 That is the tactic. 0.77

00:18:46.000 And Hassan Piker, literally earlier this month, suggested that actually real liberalism is happening in China. 0.94

00:18:53.000 In China, which is psychotic. 0.91

00:18:57.000 If you're a believer that true liberalism is happening in China, I suggest you move there.

00:19:01.000 There are plenty of open apartment cities that you can buy into.

00:19:06.000 But Hassan Piker, preaching to the rest of us about liberalism, As he stands for governments all over planet Earth that kill people for dissenting is insane. 0.52

00:19:16.000 There he was.

00:19:19.000 The Western system, rather, is demonstrably collapsing.

00:19:22.000 And it's collapsing in a way where the contradictions are worsening and people can feel it, people can experience it.

00:19:28.000 And it causes people to go, What are we doing here?

00:19:31.000 What's going on?

00:19:32.000 Why are we existing under this system?

00:19:34.000 It doesn't work.

00:19:35.000 And that can be very dangerous.

00:19:37.000 That can be very dangerous because.

00:19:39.000 That kind of illiberalism, that kind of illiberal attitude is what leads to fascism.

00:19:45.000 And that's what we're seeing in America right now with Donald Trump.

00:19:48.000 Donald Trump is taking one of the two major liberal parties and turning it into an illiberal fascist party.

00:19:55.000 I mean, literally over his shoulder is a Chinese flag, the flag of communist China.

00:20:01.000 By the way, he literally went to China in November 2025.

00:20:04.000 He went to Tiananmen Square, where dissenters were run over with tanks, and he said he doesn't have any patriotism for America.

00:20:11.000 I don't have any sort of patriotism in my heart.

00:20:15.000 Yeah, for America, but just in general.

00:20:15.000 For any.

00:20:17.000 I'm not like a very.

00:20:18.000 I care about people. 0.99

00:20:22.000 This piece of trash hates America's core values, but will use our core values against us. 0.99

00:20:27.000 That is the commonality here, and that is the common theme throughout the West. 1.00

00:20:31.000 And we in our institutions have imbibed this.

00:20:33.000 We have said we have to allow it.

00:20:34.000 We must.

00:20:35.000 We have to treat with kid gloves people who misuse allegations of racism because we hate racism.

00:20:41.000 We have to allow people who hate the country to stand on the step stool of liberalism in order to promote.

00:20:50.000 Their destruction of the country.

00:20:51.000 I mean, Hassan Piker is literally rallying.

00:20:53.000 This is how insane the Democratic Party, by the way, has become.

00:20:56.000 There's a Democratic congressional candidate in New Jersey named Adam Hamway. 0.94

00:20:59.000 Adam Hamway was a translator for an Islamic terrorist. 0.56

00:21:04.000 That's literally what he did in the early 90s.

00:21:07.000 He went over to Bosnia in solidarity and working with allegedly an Al Qaeda front group.

00:21:12.000 And he is now going to be the Democratic candidate in a New Jersey congressional district, of course, rallying with Hassan Piker.

00:21:18.000 Of course, of course.

00:21:20.000 And this is what happens when a West loses the courage of its own convictions.

00:21:25.000 A lot of conservatives have pointed out that the problem with liberalism is that it can absolutely, classical liberalism, the idea of free speech, the idea of open running field for everybody, that that can lead to a morally relativistic view in which all views are treated as equally worthy.

00:21:43.000 And that's not wrong.

00:21:44.000 If you don't have the courage of your civilizational conviction, you end up letting in people to wreck your civilization from within and to foment the destruction of your civilization from within and do it openly and do it openly.

00:21:58.000 As a quote unquote aspect of freedom, it's amazing.

00:22:03.000 Now, there was a time in American history where if you traveled over to an enemy country, you were treated with precisely the disdain that you merited. 0.69

00:22:11.000 If you were Jane Fonda and you went over and hung out with the Viet Cong, first of all, she should have received treason charges.

00:22:17.000 She literally sat on an anti aircraft gun while the Viet Cong were at war with Americans.

00:22:23.000 But there used to be a time where at least you drew the ire of the American people.

00:22:27.000 Now you're treated as some sort of bizarre truth teller. 0.68

00:22:30.000 Which brings us to the gigantic Russian op to bring members of the horseshoe right over to Russia and pretend that they are really pro America.

00:22:37.000 Again, the Russians are not hiding the ball here. 0.76

00:22:40.000 They openly wish for America to become weaker, less powerful on planet Earth. 0.86

00:22:44.000 They openly wish to expand their own domain.

00:22:47.000 And they are using Americans' perception of free speech as some sort of get out of jail free card. 0.74

00:22:55.000 So the Russian op continues apace.

00:22:58.000 They are bringing in a bunch of American influencers. 0.56

00:23:01.000 And American adjacent influencers, in order to teach the West, I suppose, that the West is terrible and Russia's great. 0.63

00:23:08.000 So obviously, Candace Owens has been over there.

00:23:11.000 She was tweeting out how beautiful Moscow is.

00:23:13.000 I mean, the op is so obvious here.

00:23:16.000 Russia Today, which is a government sponsored organization, it is a government backed media outlet, literal state media, put out a tweet that shows Candace and George Farmer, her husband, with their kids in Moscow, with all these pictures unsurprisingly, they are lying to us about Russia.

00:23:34.000 Candace Owens, after seeing Russia's Christian heritage firsthand, the Christian expression and heritage here is unmatched.

00:23:40.000 Again, the religious levels of observance in Russia are almost non existent.

00:23:44.000 It is one of the most secular countries in the world, literally on planet Earth.

00:23:51.000 And also, the Russian Orthodox Church is just an arm of the government.

00:23:56.000 Meanwhile, MTG, Marjorie Taylor Greene, both her brain cells firing, she put out a tweet wonderful to see.

00:24:02.000 Thank you for sharing the truth for all to see.

00:24:03.000 We should be friends, allies, and trading partners with Russia and much friendlier to the rest of the world.

00:24:08.000 And keep our tax dollars at home to be spent for Americans and stay out of foreign wars. 0.83

00:24:12.000 You see, the Russians are our friends. 0.58

00:24:14.000 Buckley Carlson, the bizarro superman to Tucker Carlson's less derelict looking nonsense. 0.68

00:24:26.000 Buckley, who looks like he went through the wash a few times, says, We should embrace Russia as America's ally and reject the anti Christian, globo homo agenda of our government and the State Department have been pushing for more than a generation. 0.64

00:24:38.000 And these are people who are using the power of American free speech in order to literally side with America's enemies. 0.81

00:24:43.000 Russia is not shy about this.

00:24:44.000 They are very, very clear about what they are trying to do. 1.00

00:24:47.000 And morons or perverse people either fall for it or join in. 1.00

00:24:52.000 They're bringing over Andrew Tate. 1.00

00:24:54.000 I mean, if there's somebody who can speak about the Christian heritage of Russia, it's certainly the Tate brothers under investigation or indictment for multiple sexual crimes across multiple countries. 0.90

00:25:03.000 Also, they're Muslim.

00:25:05.000 Well, here they were in Russia getting the welcome because all the influencers are going to get the trip now.

00:25:18.000 Oh my gosh, you've got all these, you've got Russian women who are coming up to Andrew Tate to offer them Russian sweets.

00:25:25.000 And people playing the balalaika there.

00:25:27.000 Oh, how nice. 1.00

00:25:32.000 Oh my God, if you are stupid enough to fall for this, truly. 1.00

00:25:35.000 If we as a civilization are stupid enough to fall for this, we deserve what we get. 1.00

00:25:39.000 People who literally travel over to America's enemies and do propaganda for them, being treated as though they are the great dissenters in our society and standing in favor of freedom. 1.00

00:25:47.000 It's just insane.

00:25:48.000 These are some of the most repressive regimes on planet Earth China and Russia.

00:25:52.000 And of course, all these people, big fans of Iran as well. 1.00

00:25:54.000 God, you are so stupid if you fall for this, honestly. 1.00

00:25:57.000 If you don't, if there's an op being run and you don't know the ops being run, you're the mark. 1.00

00:26:02.000 Speaking of which, at home, we have enough of our own communists.

00:26:04.000 Already coming up, we'll get to an aged socialist who wants to take control of AI because who better than a person who has never used a computer to control the most sophisticated technology ever to descend on planet Earth?

00:26:16.000 It'll be great.

00:26:17.000 First, as an organization grows, time becomes the most valuable resource.

00:26:20.000 Everybody wants more of it, and nobody has enough of it.

00:26:22.000 That's especially true when you're trying to fill important roles.

00:26:24.000 Because most people don't wake up excited to spend hours sorting through resumes or coordinating interviews, trying to figure out which candidates actually match what they're looking for.

00:26:32.000 That's why tools like Zip Recruiter have become so useful.

00:26:35.000 Zip Recruiter's matching technology helps employers quickly identify qualified candidates for the roles they're trying to fill, making the process faster and more efficient from the very beginning.

00:26:50.000 That's exactly why so many businesses use Zip Recruiter.

00:26:53.000 The platform helps simplify one of the most important parts of running an organization by helping employers connect with qualified candidates quickly and efficiently.

00:27:17.000 That's ziprecruiter.comslash Daily Wire.

00:27:19.000 ZipRecruiter is indeed the smartest way to hire.

00:27:22.000 So Bernie Sanders has now introduced a bill.

00:27:25.000 To take 50% public ownership in AI companies.

00:27:29.000 The fact that he's sitting there with an American flag is a disgrace to the American flag.

00:27:32.000 Bernie Sanders is a communist, literally honeymooned in the Soviet Union, hates core American values ranging from private property to, yes, freedom of speech.

00:27:42.000 He is not a fan.

00:27:45.000 But here he is talking about how he wants the government to seize 50% ownership of the AI companies.

00:27:53.000 This, by the way, would be right after he did a full scale public appearance with Chinese apparatchiks talking.

00:27:58.000 About how we needed to curb the AI industry.

00:28:00.000 You want to know why China wants to curb America's AI industry?

00:28:02.000 I'll give you a clue.

00:28:03.000 It's not because they love us. 1.00

00:28:05.000 So, Bernie, doing the work of the Chinese here. 1.00

00:28:09.000 And that is why, in the coming weeks, I will introduce the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. 1.00

00:28:17.000 This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America through a one time 50% tax, not on profits, but on stock.

00:28:32.000 It would do two extremely critical things.

00:28:37.000 First, it would give the American people a direct role in determining the future of this technology.

00:28:46.000 No longer would the future of AI be dictated by a handful of big tech oligarchs while the rest of the world sits back and watches them do what they want.

00:28:58.000 Secondly, it would guarantee that the trillions potentially created by AI. Are used to improve the lives of all of us, not simply to make the richest people on earth even richer.

00:29:13.000 Look at this decrepit piece of Drake.

00:29:14.000 I mean, sitting there, having not generated a single benefit for a single human, truly a leech, truly a leech, an octogenarian leech who has never contributed anything to humanity, sitting there and saying that the government should run these companies. 0.58

00:29:30.000 And he's doing so. 0.94

00:29:30.000 If you think he is doing so for the benefit of Americans, you're out of your mind. 0.94

00:29:33.000 He is not doing so for the benefit of Americans.

00:29:35.000 He is sitting up there at conferences with members of the Chinese front groups telling you that AI needs to be stopped. 0.50

00:29:44.000 He has an op ed in the New York Times, of course, of course, quote, since AI is built, this is one of my favorites. 0.69

00:29:50.000 Since AI is built on the collective knowledge of humanity, the wealth it generates must benefit humanity.

00:29:54.000 I'm just going to point out that literally all innovation is built on the collective knowledge of humanity.

00:29:59.000 If you invent the light bulb, it's because there were a bunch of people who came before you who invented all of the properties and materials that you used in the light bulb.

00:30:06.000 There's not a single innovation that came tabula rasa where you're just sitting in a forest somewhere and you got an idea to build Tesla.

00:30:13.000 That's not how it works.

00:30:15.000 But according to him, this means that.

00:30:18.000 Not just that the wealth generated by companies must benefit humanity, government must step in.

00:30:23.000 Because, by the way, the wealth generated by innovation does benefit humanity.

00:30:26.000 It's why you live better than your parents and grandparents.

00:30:29.000 Free markets have benefited everyone.

00:30:31.000 Communism benefits no one, makes everybody poorer.

00:30:34.000 But, says our doltish, cloddish Marxist with the second house Since AI is built on the collective knowledge of humanity, the wealth it generates must benefit humanity, not just Mr. Musk, Mr. Altman, Dario Emote, and other moguls whose companies Are positioned to dominate the industry, not just venture capitalists in Silicon Valley or money managers on Wall Street, will undoubtedly see AI as the next great wealth extracting machine.

00:31:00.000 What, first of all, I love that phrase wealth extracting machine.

00:31:04.000 I have a question.

00:31:04.000 The next great.

00:31:05.000 Were cars a wealth extracting machine?

00:31:08.000 Were these a wealth extracting machine?

00:31:08.000 How about computers?

00:31:11.000 Do you know what a clod you have to be to believe that there is, like oil, some just great wealth store somewhere, and that all the businesses do is they drill into the wealth store and take it away from other people?

00:31:24.000 That is not how markets work.

00:31:26.000 That is not how innovation works. 0.99

00:31:27.000 But again, because he is a Claude and a leech, he has come up with this dumbass idea. 0.95

00:31:33.000 He says that he's going to introduce the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. 0.98

00:31:38.000 This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest AI companies in our country.

00:31:43.000 It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one time 50% tax, not on the profits of OpenAI, Anthropic, XAI, and other companies, but paid with something far more valuable than that the stock.

00:31:43.000 How?

00:31:53.000 That's not a tax, that's a seizure.

00:31:55.000 That is a seizure of wealth.

00:31:57.000 I am unaware of any tax in which you receive stock as the tax.

00:32:01.000 That is not a tax, that is a seizure.

00:32:03.000 And the reason he is couching it as a tax is that it would be theoretically constitutional.

00:32:07.000 Otherwise, it would just be an expropriation of private property in violation of eminent domain.

00:32:13.000 He says if passed, this legislation would do two crucial things.

00:32:16.000 First, it would give the public a direct role in determining the future of this technology.

00:32:20.000 No longer would the future of AI and the transformation of human life that it will bring be dictated by a handful of big tech oligarchs.

00:32:28.000 The federal government would have the power to block decisions that hurt our citizens and push for policies that help them.

00:32:32.000 So Bernie Sanders could run AI.

00:32:34.000 How could it go wrong?

00:32:36.000 How could having a man who probably is still figuring out how to use Mavis Beacon to type, how could it go wrong putting that guy in charge of AI?

00:32:46.000 Second, he says, this legislation would guarantee that the trillions of dollars potentially generated by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us.

00:32:58.000 The big AI companies will then be made into monopolies by the government.

00:33:00.000 Competitors will be wiped out and they will stagnate just like every other government backed enterprise. 0.96

00:33:07.000 I don't know whether Bernie Sanders is a useful idiot or whether Bernie Sanders is actively doing the work of our enemies, but it amounts to the same thing in the end. 0.92

00:33:14.000 But all of this is to say that what we are watching right now in the dissolution of the institutions of America, in the failure of our educational system to teach people basic American values, what you're watching is a nuttiness that arises on the horseshoe right and a radicalism that is eating entire. 0.99

00:33:32.000 The Democratic Party.

00:33:33.000 Coming up, we'll get to the radicalism of the Democratic Party and a man named Graham Plattner.

00:33:33.000 All right.

00:33:36.000 He looks like the kind of guy who might be able to fix your car, but also he's a sexting Nazi.

00:33:42.000 So we'll get to that in a minute.

00:33:42.000 Speaking of cars that break down, when you buy a car, you never expect the transmission to fail or the water pump to go or that check engine light to turn on halfway through a family trip.

00:33:50.000 But you know, it happens.

00:33:52.000 And honestly, most people think more carefully about saving five bucks on a streaming subscription than they do about protecting themselves from a repair bill that could cost them thousands of bucks.

00:34:00.000 A guy on our team recently went through exactly this.

00:34:02.000 His extended warranty had expired.

00:34:04.000 He started looking at replacement coverage options.

00:34:06.000 He got quotes from several providers, and then he found that CarShield came in, about 20% less expensive than the alternatives he was considering.

00:34:12.000 He signed up.

00:34:13.000 He already used the coverage.

00:34:14.000 He couldn't be happier with how the experience went.

00:34:16.000 CarShield helps protect drivers from expensive repair costs with month to month vehicle protection plans.

00:34:20.000 They also include 24 7 roadside assistance, courtesy towing, and rental car options at no additional cost.

00:34:25.000 When repairs are needed, CarShield works with ACE certified mechanics and repair shops around the country.

00:34:30.000 They've been serving vehicle owners for more than 20 years, protect over 2 million vehicles, and maintain a 96% customer rating.

00:34:36.000 The road is calling.

00:34:37.000 Make sure your car is ready to answer.

00:34:39.000 Right now, Carshield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code Shapiro at carshield.comslash Shapiro.

00:34:45.000 Protect your vehicle from the unexpected before that first big repair bill hits.

00:34:48.000 Join the millions protected by Carshield, but at carshield.comslash Shapiro, use code Shapiro now for 20% off.

00:34:55.000 So you'll recall that he was sexting apparently up to a dozen women as he got married a year and a half ago, two years ago.

00:35:02.000 Dude couldn't even last five minutes without sexting people, not his wife.

00:35:06.000 And that comes on top of the Nazi tattoo. 0.57

00:35:08.000 And that comes on top of all of the various postings about pleasuring himself in porta potties and why it was good that American soldiers were shot by the Taliban. 0.60

00:35:17.000 The Democrats can pick him.

00:35:19.000 He says that his masculinity is healthy.

00:35:22.000 No. 1.00

00:35:24.000 In fact, if we looked in the dictionary under toxic masculinity, there would just be a picture of this hirsute moron. 0.98

00:35:32.000 Here's Graham Platner describing his masculinity as healthy. 0.99

00:35:36.000 Oh boy.

00:35:38.000 Describe the masculinity that you represent.

00:35:42.000 I think it's just a healthy form of it, which is, yeah, look, I mean, I lift weights.

00:35:48.000 I shoot guns.

00:35:49.000 My background is obviously in the military.

00:35:51.000 I work outside.

00:35:52.000 Most of my hobbies are things that people tend to associate with, like, manly stuff, I guess.

00:35:58.000 The exact same time I go to therapy, I have a very open sort of dialogue and emotional relationship with my wife.

00:36:08.000 I am, I work incredibly hard to put myself.

00:36:12.000 In places where I share space with folks who have very different outlooks or backgrounds as me, and then open up to the idea that their lived experience is exactly as valid as mine. 0.96

00:36:25.000 And then I tried to have sex with them. 0.99

00:36:30.000 He is the worst. 1.00

00:36:32.000 He is the worst. 0.97

00:36:33.000 By the way, even the ladies of the viewer are like, I can't take this anymore. 1.00

00:36:37.000 You know, you've lost it when the ladies of the viewer are like, this is too much for me. 0.97

00:36:43.000 As I was looking at this, I just thought, there's no shade, gentlemen, but it just feels like y'all are out of control.

00:36:52.000 I know.

00:36:53.000 Every time we turn around, somebody got somebody else up against the wall and the bed.

00:36:57.000 And what is happening?

00:37:01.000 Okay, so I'm just going to point out to the view it's not all of us, actually.

00:37:04.000 It actually isn't.

00:37:06.000 You might want to at some point uphold traditional virtue in men.

00:37:09.000 That might be a good thing. 0.98

00:37:10.000 Because it turns out that you could check my entire history and you would find nothing remotely like the bullshit that Graham Platner is pushing. 0.96

00:37:19.000 Zero things you would find. 0.98

00:37:19.000 Nothing. 0.98

00:37:20.000 Zero.

00:37:21.000 Literally zero.

00:37:23.000 I'm a happily married man of almost 20 years with four children and a fifth very close to on the way. 1.00

00:37:29.000 So, I don't think you have to slander all men just to point out that Graham Plattner is a piece of crap. 1.00

00:37:35.000 I think you can just say he's a piece of crap. 1.00

00:37:36.000 But don't worry, he's a very real person. 1.00

00:37:38.000 He's very real. 0.99

00:37:40.000 The most real people are the people who post about throbbing penises on Reddit forums. 0.99

00:37:45.000 And here's Rolf the dog. 0.98

00:37:51.000 It's very clear that here in the state of Maine, the voters.

00:37:55.000 Really do understand that I am who I claim to be.

00:37:59.000 I'm a very real person and warts and all.

00:38:04.000 Actually, he's not a very real person.

00:38:05.000 His oyster farm, turns out, was like owned by a bunch of rich people who are his political allies.

00:38:10.000 Maine Governor Janet Mills, by the way, she's like, I'm still on the ballot.

00:38:13.000 And she's like, I'm still around here.

00:38:16.000 You know, you could, you could like not do this.

00:38:19.000 That's possible.

00:38:20.000 You don't have to do this thing.

00:38:22.000 She had dropped out of the race, but she's still on the ballot.

00:38:24.000 She's like, you know, you might want to have second thoughts unless you are deeply worried that Janet Mills.

00:38:28.000 Is also involved in sexting scandals involving porta potties and Nazi tattoos or something. 0.85

00:38:33.000 Democrats, by the way, there's more coming.

00:38:35.000 There's much, much more.

00:38:36.000 Alex Thompson, reporter for Politico, he says that Democrats, no, there's more coming here.

00:38:43.000 What every Democrat I've talked to the last 24 hours is saying is what else is out there.

00:38:49.000 Because in addition to the authenticity, as you played the clips earlier, he said nothing else is going to come out.

00:38:55.000 And most Democrats right now do not believe him.

00:38:59.000 More stuff came out yesterday.

00:39:01.000 So, what was more of that stuff?

00:39:02.000 Well, it turns out that dude was really active on Reddit.

00:39:05.000 I mean, a very bored human.

00:39:07.000 So, P Hustle, he put out a post on Reddit.

00:39:11.000 This again is from February 2020.

00:39:13.000 Quote Took two months of terminal, most of it combat leave.

00:39:16.000 So, I was making a pretty penny doing just about nothing.

00:39:18.000 Went backpacking through Europe on the government dime, walked the Camino de Santiago, did some drugs, and had a blast partying it up in hostels across the continent.

00:39:25.000 Then, went home and went to college.

00:39:27.000 I highly recommend it.

00:39:28.000 No regrets.

00:39:29.000 Also, he posted in July 2020.

00:39:32.000 Similarly, somebody said, Can you imagine the different scenarios of how this could have gone down?

00:39:38.000 Okay.

00:39:39.000 He put up street value.

00:39:41.000 I always wonder what street you're buying your cocaine on because it's not the street I'm buying my cocaine on.

00:39:48.000 That was in 2020.

00:39:51.000 Graham Plattner is not a child.

00:39:52.000 Okay.

00:39:54.000 2020 was six years ago.

00:39:56.000 It was not 20 years ago.

00:39:57.000 It was six years ago.

00:39:59.000 But Democrats are embracing this full scale, they're embracing it.

00:40:02.000 Totally and utterly.

00:40:04.000 And if they get back into power, folks, yeah, I know.

00:40:06.000 There's been a lot of talk about how woke is dead.

00:40:09.000 DEI is dead. 0.87

00:40:10.000 Radical LGBTQ, it's done. 1.00

00:40:12.000 We're not doing that anymore. 1.00

00:40:14.000 Yeah, that's all going to come back.

00:40:16.000 I'm just warning you, it's all coming back.

00:40:18.000 If you think it is gone, that the Trump presidency buried it, wrong you are.

00:40:22.000 It will be back in approximately 0.7 seconds.

00:40:26.000 That is how long it will take.

00:40:27.000 As evidence, I present to you the renewed joy of Pride Month.

00:40:31.000 Yes, that's right.

00:40:32.000 It's back.

00:40:33.000 It's June, which means. 0.92

00:40:34.000 That we are going to get nothing but rainbow flags and homages to trans politics for the next month. 1.00

00:40:43.000 From some of the world's most bizarre people, by the way. 0.99

00:40:46.000 The UN Refugee Agency, the UNHCR, put out a tweet: During Pride and Every Day, LGBTQ, IQ, plus, where'd the intersex, I guess? 1.00

00:40:57.000 They're adding new letters again.

00:40:58.000 Refugee rights are human rights.

00:40:59.000 No exceptions, no compromises, no discrimination.

00:41:02.000 Except for, you know, the 150 countries that the UN completely ignores when they chuck trans people off of buildings or hang them. 0.91

00:41:11.000 Except for that. 0.93

00:41:13.000 I love the UN. 1.00

00:41:15.000 Refugee agency, which again works alongside the UNRWA, which is like the Palestinian refugee agency, which does the work of Hamas, which chucks gay people off buildings. 0.95

00:41:29.000 Oh, the irony. 0.91

00:41:30.000 Oh, the irony.

00:41:32.000 Zorhan Mamdani, who when he is not marching in solidarity with radical Islamists is marching in solidarity with radical trans, put out a tweet, quote, it would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

00:41:43.000 Would it?

00:41:44.000 How fast are we moving through every contribution?

00:41:44.000 I don't know.

00:41:46.000 Like on a proportional level.

00:41:48.000 See, here's the thing about history months.

00:41:50.000 I don't like them in general. 0.98

00:41:51.000 I don't think there needs to be a Jewish American History Month or a Black History Month or a Gay History Month. 0.99

00:41:55.000 We have this thing, it's called history.

00:41:56.000 It is where we learn the things that are important that have happened in the past.

00:41:59.000 And we don't have to affirmative action history.

00:42:01.000 We don't have to.

00:42:03.000 It turns out that important people were important regardless of their sexual orientation or their desire to dress up as women or their religion.

00:42:12.000 Like you can just do history. 1.00

00:42:13.000 We could just do that and we could get rid of all this stupidity. 1.00

00:42:15.000 But Momdani says it would take far longer than a month. 0.99

00:42:19.000 From the circle Hermaphroditos in 1895.

00:42:22.000 The first trans advocacy group in the US.

00:42:23.000 I feel like we could, like, I don't know. 0.74

00:42:25.000 I feel like we could have done all of human history without ever mentioning these circle hermaphroditos.

00:42:32.000 I don't feel like that's wildly discriminatory.

00:42:34.000 There's a lot of stuff that happened in human history.

00:42:35.000 I think if we're going to list it top to bottom, as might be said by James Tallarico, if we are going to list all of human history in order of importance, I'm not sure the circle hermaphroditos would list in the top couple of million things that have happened in human history.

00:42:53.000 To the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance.

00:42:55.000 By the way, not the most important thing about the Harlem Renaissance. 0.54

00:42:57.000 To the Stonewall Uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives.

00:43:01.000 Wow. 0.98

00:43:02.000 Lesbian Herstory. 1.00

00:43:03.000 Yeah, huge.

00:43:05.000 New York City has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers. 0.61

00:43:09.000 To all our queer and trans neighbors, you deserve a city where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully, unless you're a Jew.

00:43:14.000 Happy Pride, New York City. 1.00

00:43:16.000 Says Mayor Momdani.

00:43:18.000 Again, what a joy he is.

00:43:20.000 Meanwhile, Abdullah El Sayed, he is the Michigan Senate candidate.

00:43:25.000 He says, We live in a time when government is being used as a weapon against its own people.

00:43:29.000 A time when all of us who love differently, live differently, pray differently, or think differently are being told we are less than, that we don't belong.

00:43:36.000 Wow.

00:43:37.000 You're a victim.

00:43:38.000 You're a victim.

00:43:39.000 Says, Pride began as a community's fight for its rights, the right to live and love authentically, the right to speak freely.

00:43:44.000 Try it in Dearborn, see how it goes for you.

00:43:48.000 Seriously, this guy couldn't even say that it was good when Ayatollah Khomeini was killed.

00:43:52.000 So, I mean, But here's the thing.

00:43:56.000 The left, the coalition of the dispossessed, will come right back together.

00:43:59.000 It's all going to come right back.

00:44:00.000 If you think it's not, you're out of your mind. 0.68

00:44:03.000 In all of its glory, Sesame Street is bringing back the same tweet that it brought back every year for Pride Month, which involves apparently gay Muppets or something. 0.67

00:44:11.000 I wish I were making that up, but I really am not. 0.53

00:44:14.000 It's not like the gay Teletubbies thing. 0.97

00:44:15.000 This is like actual, actually, like apparently they took Oscar the Grouch, Big Bird, Elmo, and they put them in some sort of gay compacting machine. 0.90

00:44:27.000 And they smushed them down into this tweet. 0.90

00:44:29.000 It's literally just lines of fur of various colors in the rainbow flag. 0.54

00:44:34.000 But there is no trans triangle here.

00:44:37.000 Discrimination in the Sesame King universe. 0.98

00:44:40.000 Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street.

00:44:42.000 Join us in celebrating and uplifting the LGBTQIA plus members of our community, the children. 1.00

00:44:50.000 Not great. 0.99

00:44:53.000 Meanwhile, Magic Kingdom put out a Pride slushie, which basically just looks like a slushie with some rainbow sprinkles.

00:44:59.000 All right. 0.99

00:45:00.000 What makes it gay? 0.82

00:45:01.000 Is it just like, oh, it's a video. 1.00

00:45:05.000 Cool.

00:45:06.000 Wow.

00:45:08.000 I do love that the corporations are basically, what if we just took a regular slushie and we just put like a thing on top and just like, Pride!

00:45:13.000 Then we sell more things.

00:45:15.000 But let's be clear.

00:45:15.000 All right.

00:45:17.000 What we now have, it's the beginning.

00:45:19.000 Okay.

00:45:19.000 This will all come back with a vengeance.

00:45:21.000 Prepare yourself.

00:45:22.000 Prepare yourself.

00:45:23.000 It's all, like, all the most radical stuff is coming back.

00:45:26.000 And how radical is the left on this stuff?

00:45:28.000 The left is so radical on this stuff that they literally have to print pieces in the New York Times reminding you it's okay to be heterosexual.

00:45:35.000 Right?

00:45:36.000 And no longer is this about, you know, it's okay to be gay.

00:45:39.000 It's no longer about that.

00:45:40.000 It's like the New York Times.

00:45:41.000 It swung all the way around. 0.78

00:45:43.000 And now they have to write an entire op ed and say, It's okay to like people of the opposite sex.

00:45:51.000 Otherwise, you know, we have to avoid the stigma.

00:45:52.000 We have to avoid the stigma of heterophobia.

00:45:58.000 That's where the New York Times is now.

00:46:01.000 Quote I'm going to go out on a limb and say it.

00:46:03.000 There has never been a better time in human history to happily and successfully pursue heterosexuality, if that is your thing, as it is mine.

00:46:10.000 As straight Americans, we are in the midst of a period of all but unprecedented sexual, social, and romantic liberty.

00:46:15.000 We have greater freedom than ever before to become whom we want and to date whom we want.

00:46:21.000 Heteropessimism, what the hell?

00:46:22.000 Heteropessimism is at bottom, again, James Tellerico piping up here, little more than a bad mood about the state of being straight.

00:46:29.000 It is the pervasive sense that heterosexuality is fundamentally flawed and unfulfilling, even structurally unsalvageable.

00:46:36.000 Sometimes heteropessimists argue it's not strictly heterosexuality that is unfulfilling, but the opposite gender itself.

00:46:42.000 Okay, I'm just going to point this out.

00:46:44.000 The only heteropessimists out there are people who are not heterosexual and Andrew Tate's crowd. 0.98

00:46:51.000 The Nick Fuentes people who are like, women are all horrible. 0.99

00:46:54.000 They're just terrible. 1.00

00:46:55.000 The rest of us, heterosexuals, we kind of like women, it turns out. 1.00

00:46:59.000 I married one.

00:47:00.000 She's wonderful.

00:47:00.000 It's awesome.

00:47:01.000 But the fact that the New York Times now has to write full on pieces trying to defend heterosexuality, that's how far things are going to go.

00:47:09.000 And by the way, it's not just on the radical LGBTQIA plus minus divided by sign politics.

00:47:13.000 It's also going to happen with DEI.

00:47:15.000 You think DEI is gone?

00:47:16.000 Wrong you are.

00:47:17.000 No one is ever really gone.

00:47:20.000 So the New York Times is already promoting the propaganda.

00:47:25.000 According to the New York Times, in a move that disproportionately targets women and minority officers, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently blocked the promotion of nine Navy officers who had been selected by a board of senior Navy admirals.

00:47:37.000 The net result of Mr. Hegseth's intervention is a slate of 22 nominees to be one star admirals that bears little resemblance to the broader force these officers will help lead. 0.93

00:47:46.000 Again, get ready for it.

00:47:47.000 If Democrats take back over, we are going to be appointing one star Navy admirals based on race and sex. 0.73

00:47:55.000 Three of the officers are women.

00:47:57.000 Two are black men.

00:47:58.000 Four are white men. 0.63

00:48:00.000 That's why I love this. 0.96

00:48:00.000 He's discriminating because he actually struck from the list more white men than black men or women. 0.96

00:48:08.000 But that's terrible.

00:48:09.000 It must be discriminatory.

00:48:12.000 Mr. Hegsek's actions, which appear to violate the rules governing a promotion system that is supposed to be apolitical and merit based, were described by five current and former defense officials.

00:48:21.000 I'm confused.

00:48:23.000 What evidence do you have that he struck people For political or non merit based reasons.

00:48:28.000 It seems that perhaps actually he was using merit based decision making.

00:48:31.000 But again, the way that it works for the left is that it is not a meritocracy unless they use affirmative action.

00:48:37.000 That's the only way to get it.

00:48:38.000 So, all the things that got Trump back to the presidency, those are all coming back.

00:48:42.000 Just wait for it.

00:48:43.000 Just wait for it.

00:48:44.000 And Democrats will not let go of it, which is why I remain pessimistic about the mayoral primaries in Los Angeles, as well as the gubernatorial primaries more generally in California.

00:48:44.000 It is.

00:48:55.000 Spencer Pratt, again, is running a spectacularly good race in this LA mayoral race.

00:49:00.000 He is very social media friendly.

00:49:02.000 Yesterday, he was ranting against Democratic corruption.

00:49:08.000 We already talked so much in LA.

00:49:10.000 In California, I can't even comprehend taxing more.

00:49:12.000 What's happening is we tax these people, and then other rich people, this champagne socialist scammers, steal that money because they're all connected to the people taxing it.

00:49:23.000 And then the people that should see the money, the communities, the after the boys and girls clubs, the parks, the actual infrastructure, doesn't see that money because different rich people stole the money that was being taxed from the rich people.

00:49:37.000 So I actually feel like Robin Hood because I'm coming in and I'm going to say, where's all this money?

00:49:42.000 We're done with everyone stealing the tax money.

00:49:45.000 We're going to actually put it to the people that have turned us socialism because they say America doesn't work.

00:49:51.000 It doesn't work if we let people steal all the tax money and we have no accountability and transparency.

00:49:59.000 And of course, Pratt is totally right.

00:50:01.000 And he points out with Bill Maher that 60% of the people in LA who, quote unquote, experience homelessness are actually not even from California.

00:50:08.000 They come to California because the weather is nice and the benefits are great.

00:50:13.000 60% of the people in Los Angeles that are experiencing homelessness, they're not from California.

00:50:21.000 They've been brought here by NGOs that profit off of this homeless industrial complex, Medicaid.

00:50:27.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:50:28.000 They've been brought here?

00:50:29.000 They've been brought here. 0.98

00:50:30.000 Body brokers bring these people here. 0.96

00:50:30.000 Who did that? 0.96

00:50:32.000 From where?

00:50:33.000 All across the country.

00:50:34.000 If you're an addict, you can come to LA and get these rehabs.

00:50:39.000 Because you're Medicaid, you have a social security.

00:50:41.000 It's also, if you're going to be, shall we say, out.

00:50:44.000 Doors your whole life.

00:50:45.000 It's better to be here than in Minneapolis.

00:50:47.000 100%.

00:50:48.000 I talked to these people who are now sober, off fentanyl, off meth, and they say they got literally brought here through a rehab, trying to get off drugs.

00:50:56.000 Their money runs out, boom, left on the street.

00:51:00.000 Now, by the way, Pratt is likely to at least end up in the final two in LA.

00:51:05.000 According to the current Calci odds, Calci is one of our sponsors.

00:51:09.000 Karen Bass is 65%, Pratt at 25%, Nithya Raman at 12%.

00:51:14.000 Those results will be available tonight.

00:51:16.000 Okay, meanwhile, on the international front, a lot of heartburn over what's going on in Iran.

00:51:20.000 So I want to break this down pretty easily here.

00:51:24.000 I've said it a lot of times before.

00:51:26.000 I'll say it again. 1.00

00:51:27.000 President Trump was right and brave to go after Iran. 0.99

00:51:30.000 He was right to go after the Iranian missile facilities. 0.99

00:51:32.000 He was right to go after their nuclear facilities. 1.00

00:51:34.000 He was right to blow up their Navy. 0.57

00:51:35.000 He was right to take down their Air Force and Operation Epic Fury. 0.54

00:51:38.000 Operation Economic Fury, which is the blockade on Iranian oil, has been similarly good and brave.

00:51:43.000 Now, I didn't agree with the original ceasefire in April. 0.99

00:51:46.000 I think we should have continued to strike them and strike their oil facilities.

00:51:50.000 But here's the thing you never know the outcome of a war until it's over.

00:51:53.000 You don't know the outcome.

00:51:54.000 So there are a lot of people out there today claiming that America has lost, that somehow this is an endless war, which is, again, a very strange term for a war that lasted a few weeks and then, since basically April, has been in a state of stasis.

00:52:10.000 Right now, we're in the middle of an economic blockade that has resulted in zero U.S. deaths since March and 13 combat deaths overall since the beginning of the war, which, again, every one of those is terrible.

00:52:19.000 You have to put that into the historical context of wars historically.

00:52:24.000 We've also discussed before on the show what victory in Iran looks like.

00:52:27.000 So people say, you know, you're moving the goalpost.

00:52:28.000 No, same goalposts. 0.91

00:52:30.000 Victory in Iran looks like putting the Iranian regime on the road to regional and global irrelevance. 0.98

00:52:35.000 That's what victory in Iran looks like. 0.98

00:52:37.000 And there are a few ways to get there. 0.94

00:52:39.000 That means keeping its economy in tatters, ensuring no rebuilding of ballistic missile facilities, preventing Iran from controlling the Strait of Hormuz and taking tolls on it, exporting their oil at everyone else's cost, and wrecking their nuclear program, of course. 0.92

00:52:54.000 Now, we can get there by a few methods. 0.84

00:52:57.000 The most obvious method would be some sort of regime change, an uprising.

00:53:00.000 There could also be regime behavior change.

00:53:02.000 That is what President Trump is apparently trying to do with some sort of deal.

00:53:06.000 Get them to change their behavior.

00:53:08.000 Or theoretically, you could maintain overwatch and what they call mowing the lawn until you get regime change or regime behavior change.

00:53:15.000 That overwatch would mount to occasional bombing sorties from Israel, from the UAE, Mossad operations inside the country in order to keep destroying ballistic missile facilities and nuclear facilities and all the rest. 0.86

00:53:30.000 Now, the quickest and easiest path for the United States to just do something and be done would be to bomb the Iranian refineries on Kharg Island and their oil fields in South Pars. 0.92

00:53:37.000 That would be the easiest, quickest thing. 1.00

00:53:39.000 We could do it in a couple of sorties.

00:53:41.000 Why? 0.76

00:53:41.000 Well, that would destroy any forward economic capacity for the foreseeable future for Iran. 0.76

00:53:45.000 They just wouldn't have a functioning economy.

00:53:47.000 It would also put China on the side of the United States, because at that point, you've got Iran holding up the strait, and China is not going to be like, hey, let's be on Iran's side in opening up the strait.

00:53:57.000 And we'll do that because they have oil, because they won't have oil at that point.

00:54:01.000 Now, if we don't do that, if we don't blow up their oil facilities or Karg Island or something, other options would include maintaining that blockade and fomenting revolution inside Iran. 0.76

00:54:11.000 Or maybe allowing the Kurds in the Northwest to go to town, which is something, by the way, that originally was supposed to happen.

00:54:16.000 President Trump killed it at the behest of Erdogan, the dictator of Turkey.

00:54:20.000 And I should mention here that the relationship between the Trump administration and Turkey is unhealthy.

00:54:24.000 It's led by the Ambassador Tom Barrick, who has done an extraordinarily poor job. 0.59

00:54:28.000 The Turks are not aligned with American interests in the Middle East.

00:54:32.000 They are not. 1.00

00:54:33.000 They wish to expand their pseudo Ottoman empire again. 0.91

00:54:37.000 But we could allow the Kurds in the Northwest to go to town, or the Azeris in the North to go to town, or the Baloch in the Southeast to go to town. 0.84

00:54:43.000 And really stretch the Iranian regime. 0.91

00:54:45.000 Any of those things would look like a victory for the United States. 0.95

00:54:48.000 So let's do the opposite.

00:54:49.000 What would it look like for America to lose?

00:54:51.000 So here's what it doesn't look like a traditional military loss.

00:54:54.000 It doesn't look like thousands of American troops dead, for example, because that's not going to happen.

00:55:00.000 It doesn't look like American cities in ruins.

00:55:02.000 It doesn't look like our Navy at the bottom of the ocean.

00:55:04.000 It doesn't look like any of the military losses that America has suffered before.

00:55:09.000 So let's take that right off the table.

00:55:10.000 So when people say it's a disaster of historic proportion, no, it really, really is not.

00:55:15.000 Like, when we quote unquote lost the war in Iraq, which again is arguable given the fact that the government of Iraq is a quasi functioning democracy with a GDP multiple times what it was when Saddam Hussein was in power.

00:55:27.000 But even if you consider that a loss, okay, what did that loss look like?

00:55:29.000 It looked like several thousand dead American troops.

00:55:32.000 How about Afghanistan?

00:55:33.000 Same thing.

00:55:33.000 Looks like several thousand dead American troops.

00:55:36.000 Right?

00:55:36.000 Those, that's what an American loss looks like there.

00:55:38.000 That's not even what we're talking about here.

00:55:39.000 So, what would a loss in Iran look like?

00:55:41.000 Well, it would look like an Iran that is recovering or growing in power. 0.70

00:55:46.000 So, leaving Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz, able to toll and also to ship its stuff out, or relieving sanctions on them, or either of those first two in combination with leaving their ballistic missile facilities and nuclear program capable of rebuilding. 0.71

00:56:01.000 It would also look like allowing Iran to nullify action against its proxies in the region by threat of military action. 0.65

00:56:07.000 So, if Iran says we're going to shut the Strait, that means that Israel has to allow Hezbollah to attack its north, or that means that the rest of the world has to allow the Houthis to attack shipping in the Red Sea. 0.75

00:56:19.000 Or that means everyone has to sit there while Hamas recovers. 0.84

00:56:21.000 Otherwise, Iran will do so. 1.00

00:56:22.000 That would be Iran winning. 0.93

00:56:23.000 That's what Iran winning looks like and the United States losing. 0.74

00:56:26.000 So here's the thing Which one of those two things looks more likely? 0.72

00:56:30.000 Well, the answer is the first.

00:56:32.000 Iran's regime is in tatters.

00:56:33.000 Their economy is basically non existent.

00:56:35.000 Their navy's at the bottom of the ocean.

00:56:36.000 They have no air force.

00:56:37.000 Their ballistic missile rebuilding facilities are basically dead.

00:56:40.000 They're uncovering existing stocks.

00:56:42.000 That's not the same thing as building new ones.

00:56:44.000 Their nukes have been delayed significantly.

00:56:47.000 So we are still on the path to victory unless we blow the endgame, which we certainly could. 0.97

00:56:52.000 Now, one way to blow the endgame would be to allow the Iranians in negotiations to relink all of their activities with those of their terrorist groups abroad. 0.90

00:57:02.000 So right now, there's conflict that is going on in Lebanon.

00:57:04.000 The government of Lebanon is not Hezbollah.

00:57:07.000 Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed terror group.

00:57:09.000 That terror group is heavily armed and attacks Israel regularly, like thousands of rockets, thousands of drones, fiber optic drones. 0.54

00:57:18.000 Israel has been attempting to destroy Hezbollah.

00:57:22.000 And Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel said that if the Hezbollah continue to fire into northern Israel, he would bomb areas of Beirut.

00:57:30.000 There's a part of Beirut called Tahiyah.

00:57:32.000 Tahiyah is an area of Beirut that is basically inhabited by Hezbollah leadership.

00:57:39.000 And yesterday, Netanyahu put out a statement saying, quote, Tonight I spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens, Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut.

00:57:48.000 The stance of ours remains unchanged.

00:57:50.000 In parallel, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.

00:57:55.000 President Trump, right about the same time, put out a statement saying that Israel and Hezbollah would not attack each other.

00:58:00.000 That was not true.

00:58:01.000 Overnight, Hezbollah continued to launch sorties into northern Israel and against troops in southern Lebanon.

00:58:07.000 He said, I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel.

00:58:10.000 There will be no troops going to Beirut.

00:58:11.000 So, first of all, there were never troops going to Beirut. 1.00

00:58:13.000 I assume he means F 16s.

00:58:15.000 And any troops that are on their way have already been turned back.

00:58:17.000 Likewise, through highly placed representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop, that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.

00:58:24.000 That, of course, is not true.

00:58:25.000 Hezbollah has continued to attack.

00:58:27.000 We have maps of it.

00:58:29.000 Now, the reason that this is dangerous, what the president is doing right here, is because, realistically speaking, he's saying the talks are continuing.

00:58:37.000 There was talk, the Iranians had said, we are going to call off the talks unless Israel stops going after Hezbollah in Lebanon.

00:58:44.000 Those two issues must be delinked. 0.78

00:58:46.000 Otherwise, that means that Iran can basically save its terrorist groups all over the region simply by threatening the Straits of Hormuz. 0.90

00:58:53.000 They can use their leverage in order to harm America and her allies. 0.81

00:58:57.000 And that's something that the United States should not fall for.

00:59:01.000 Now, Barack Ravid, who is a stenographer for certain members of the administration, I believe, including the vice president, had a leak from the Trump administration saying, quote, earlier on Monday, Iran threatened to abandon the negotiations with the U.S. over Israel's actions in Lebanon.

00:59:18.000 On a call, Trump called Netanyahu crazy and accused him of ingratitude, according to two of the sources.

00:59:22.000 He put brakes on Israel's plan to strike Beirut.

00:59:26.000 One U.S. official said Trump told Netanyahu that following through on his threats to bomb the Lebanese capital would further isolate Israel around the world.

00:59:32.000 And two of the sources said that Trump said he helped keep Netanyahu out of jail, which is not true. 0.99

00:59:39.000 Summarizing Trump's remarks to Netanyahu, the U.S. official said, You're effing crazy. 0.98

00:59:43.000 You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. 1.00

00:59:44.000 I'm saving your ass. 1.00

00:59:45.000 Everyone hates you now. 1.00

00:59:46.000 Everyone hates Israel because of this. 0.98

00:59:48.000 And he yelled at BB, What the F are you doing?

00:59:50.000 Now, that's been denied by Israeli sources.

00:59:52.000 I'm sure it'll be denied by the administration today.

00:59:55.000 Bottom line is this If the Trump administration is putting pressure on Israel not to protect itself from Hezbollah because Iran is dangling some sort of phantom talks out there, that is a mistake.

01:00:05.000 The Wall Street Journal editorial board is correct on this. 0.81

01:00:08.000 They say Iran's regime sees this as one war and it has been testing Trump on all fronts. 0.82

01:00:12.000 If it fires on U.S. forces in the straighter Gulf, will he still try to salvage the ceasefire?

01:00:16.000 How about stepped up attacks on Israel?

01:00:18.000 How about claiming to quit negotiations?

01:00:20.000 In each case, Trump has chosen to avoid escalation and keep talking.

01:00:23.000 If he won't send a different message, it will be difficult to get the regime to comply with the deal, no matter what it promises now.

01:00:28.000 And that, of course, is exactly true.

01:00:29.000 Now, the president has been patient. 1.00

01:00:32.000 And the reality is the underlying conditions of waiting do not favor the Iranians.

01:00:36.000 They are losing much more money than the United States in terms of proportionality to their economy.

01:00:41.000 Yes, it's not great for us in terms of our oil prices.

01:00:44.000 Is it sinking our economy?

01:00:45.000 No, it's not sinking our economy.

01:00:46.000 Is it leading to costs at the pump?

01:00:48.000 Sure.

01:00:49.000 Is it leading to inflation?

01:00:50.000 Yes.

01:00:51.000 But we're not going to know the outcome of this until we know the outcome of this. 0.96

01:00:55.000 And the worst thing that could happen would be for the United States to somehow allow Iran to snatch. 0.93

01:01:01.000 Victory from the jaws of defeat by rebuilding an economy capable of rebuilding its ballistic missile facilities, nukes, and military. 0.91

01:01:08.000 And by the way, emphasizing that it can talk not just the United States, but the United States through pressure, Israel, and UAE from doing anything to defend themselves from terror groups springing from Iran. 0.66

01:01:19.000 That would be a large scale mistake.

01:01:23.000 By the way, it just demonstrates the lie that somehow Israel doesn't listen to the United States. 1.00

01:01:27.000 Chank Uyghur and the rest of the idiot crew, they're out there suggesting, of course, that. 1.00

01:01:31.000 Israel controls the United States. 0.99

01:01:33.000 Weird, because it was Trump who was telling Israel not to do things yesterday and Israel not doing them.

01:01:37.000 So, yeah, I don't think that that is the case at all.

01:01:40.000 All righty, coming up, we are going to jump into the latest from CBS.
