Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is being hailed as the next great thing in politics, but is she really? Is she a good or bad candidate, or is she just good enough to run for president in 2020? Ben Shapiro explains why she's not, and why she should never have been chosen as a presidential candidate in the first place. He also explains why the media loves to talk about her and why it's a good thing that she's running for president, even though she's a self-identified woman and a black woman, which is not exactly what you'd expect from someone who's been around the block for a long time. And, of course, she plagiarizes a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. Ben Shapiro is a regular contributor to the New York Times, CNN, and the Los Angeles Daily News, and is one of the most influential people in American politics.

00:01:04.000A lot of these big providers, they will say that you need to pay all that money so that you have unlimited data, but you're not going to use unlimited data.
00:01:09.000You're probably only going to use two gigs of data.
00:01:11.000And then with peer talk, even if you go over, they're not charging you extra.
00:01:25.000Again, dial pound two five zero, say keyword Ben Shapiro.
00:01:27.000And when you do, you save 50% off your first month of Pure Talk USA coverage.
00:01:33.000Okay, so let's jump in today with a story that should make you happy.
00:01:37.000It should make you happy because it just demonstrates once and for all that if you are looking for principle in the same place where you find politicians, you are looking in the wrong place.
00:01:46.000Indie, they're digging in the wrong place.
00:01:48.000So Kamala Harris, and she's being touted as the next great thing.
00:01:53.000Kamala Harris was so great that she ran in the Democratic primaries and dropped out before her home state of California had even voted.
00:01:59.000That was after being the early frontrunner for the nomination based on calling the guy who should eventually be the running mate to a racist.
00:02:08.000It's been like a year, and this year has been 20 years.
00:02:11.000But when that race started, Kamala Harris was considered a frontrunner because she fulfilled two things that the Democrats desperately wanted.
00:02:21.000Sure, she was incredibly rehearsed and had this weird cackle that she would break into for no reason at all.
00:02:25.000Somebody would say something weird or uncomfortable, or she would simply be asked a tough question, and she would just break into this Joker-like cackle, this insane This insane, bizarre laughter that nobody could really understand.
00:02:37.000She was so off-putting that after she called Joe Biden a racist on the stage, she couldn't back it up.
00:02:42.000Then she suggested Joe Biden might have to drop out of the race because of sexual harassment concerns.
00:02:48.000I'm going to forget all that and I'm just going to become that guy's VP.
00:02:50.000So Kamala Harris is not the most principled of people.
00:02:53.000I mean, I think it is fair to say that Kamala Harris and Principal have probably never met.
00:02:57.000In fact, they probably have not been within a 300 mile radius of one another, Kamala Harris and Principal.
00:03:02.000But because she's a Democrat and because she's a self-identified woman, this means she gets cover stories in places like Elle magazine, because this is the way our disgusting media works.
00:03:11.000More people probably engage with the sort of checkout counters, supermarket tabloidy magazines, the InTouch magazines and the InStyle magazines and the Elle magazines.
00:03:20.000Then they do overall with, you know, kind of normal political publications.
00:03:24.000And so it actually makes a difference when these sorts of publications feature on their covers people like Kamala Harris.
00:03:29.000But of course, I never remember them doing anything like that with Sarah Palin in 2008 when she was running for vice president with John McCain.
00:03:35.000She didn't get that same sort of coverage.
00:03:36.000OK, so Kamala Harris is now being recast.
00:03:38.000So as soon as Joe Biden picked her, she went from being this loser who is incapable of getting her campaign together, who is extremely off-putting, very awkward.
00:04:18.000And then she did precisely zero serious, hard-hitting press conferences between the time she was nominated VP and the time the election took place.
00:04:25.000Well, now we can sort of see why this was.
00:04:54.000Senator Kamala Harris started her life's work young.
00:04:57.000She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family.
00:05:00.000Okay, have you ever heard Kamala Harris laugh?
00:05:06.000She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family if you were then going to, you know, bomb Gotham City.
00:05:12.000As she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle.
00:05:18.000At some point, she fell from the stroller.
00:05:20.000Few safety regulations existed for children's equipment back then.
00:05:23.000And the adults, caught up in the rapture of protest, just kept on marching.
00:05:27.000By the time they noticed little Kamala was gone and doubled back, she was understandably upset.
00:05:31.000My mother tells the story about how I'm fussing, Harris says, and she's like, baby, what do you want?
00:05:43.000Okay, so first of all, to start a story that way is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
00:05:48.000If your story, your political story begins when you were a toddler who fell out of a stroller, even if that story happened to be true, which it's not, as we'll get to in just one moment, that is a weird, weird take.
00:06:00.000This is like one of those Twitter takes where people are like, my seven-year-old daughter came in the room and she asked me, Mommy, why is the gender wage gap so wide when we've taken so many steps to alleviate the gender wage gap through federal legislation?
00:06:24.000Now, there is one problem with this story, aside from the fact that it is really, really ridiculous.
00:06:30.000It also happens to be lifted directly from Martin Luther King Jr.
00:06:32.000So it turns out that plagiarism apparently runs throughout, like, if you get within a certain distance from Joe Biden, the plagiarism is contagious.
00:07:01.000I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, who was walking in a demonstration with her mother.
00:07:53.000It took until now for anybody to fact check her story.
00:07:55.000If you're a Democrat, the most beautiful thing about being a Democrat is that Elizabeth Warren can lie for three decades about being Native American.
00:08:02.000And it's only when Republicans are like, oh, yeah, by the way, she's not Native American, that that becomes a real story for her.
00:08:07.000Remember, Republicans brought that up in her original Senate race in Massachusetts.
00:08:11.000And the media were like, you can't say that about Elizabeth Warren.
00:08:16.000So if you're a Democrat, of course, the incentive is for you to make up the most dramatic possible stories in which you're a four year old and you're telling cops that you need freedom.
00:08:24.000Absolutely insane and ridiculous, but I think it puts us in mind of where we stand in politics.
00:08:29.000And again, don't seek higher values in your politicians.
00:08:33.000By the way, check out Matt Walsh's show today.
00:08:35.000He's gonna give his take on that story.
00:08:36.000He'll also be discussing white musicians who declined Grammy nominations because they're white, and also Busy Phillips is this actress, I guess, and she posted about her non-binary 12-year-old child.
00:08:44.000Weird how many members of the Hollywood community who are very, very warm toward a particular ideology have children who then fit particularly squarely within this ideology.
00:09:25.000And it means that regardless of what you happen to think about what happened in Georgia, whether you're on the Trump bandwagon suggesting that Georgia, the votes were falsified and he actually won Georgia or he didn't win Georgia, all of that is purely irrelevant.
00:09:37.000Irrelevant to the question of whether you want Democrats to run the United States Senate.
00:09:41.000If you're following Lin Wood down the primrose path to hell here, and you're saying, I'm going to sit home because I am mad about the election, understand the Lincoln Project, those bunch of grifters, the Lincoln Project have been pumping out Lin Wood and his bizarre conspiracy theories to try to encourage Republicans to stay home.
00:09:57.000These are the same people who say that Stacey Abrams is a hero for fighting voter suppression, trying to suppress the vote by quoting Lin Wood to the effect that Georgia is already rigged in favor of the Democrats.
00:10:16.000So, the polling data, again, is somewhat sporadic, and people are very queasy about the polling data, as well they should be, after all the polling misses in the last election cycle.
00:10:24.000Remember, there were a bevy of polling misses, particularly down-ballot.
00:10:27.000There were a bunch of Senate races that went to Republicans, despite the fact that the polls had suggested they were going to go to Democrats.
00:10:31.000There were a bunch of congressional races that did the same.
00:10:35.000So right now, if you look at the polling data, it would suggest that Jon Ossoff has a very slight lead on Sonny Perdue.
00:10:42.000According to FiveThirtyEight, Ossoff is up 49 to 47 over Perdue, which is weird considering that Perdue beat Ossoff just a couple of months back.
00:10:49.000He just didn't reach the 50% threshold necessary to retain the seat outright.
00:10:54.000Perdue beat him by like 80,000 votes, so that's a big margin for Ossoff to have to make up.
00:10:59.000Meanwhile, the other polling data shows Warnock with a 2.2 point lead over Kelly Loeffler.
00:11:06.000Right now, the markets seem to be hedging on this.
00:11:08.000The markets are very uncertain where all of this is going, especially considering the fact that if the Democrats were to take the Senate, they would immediately shift into high-tax gear.
00:11:18.000They would move into high-tax mode, high-regulation mode.
00:11:20.000The market is starting to sell off as of this morning, looking at the possibility of a Democratic Senate.
00:11:25.000Nate Silver says that the Democrats have to be favored in probably both races by slightly Like a little bit at this point, which means that if you're a Republican, you cannot afford to stay home.
00:11:35.000The data tends to show that the early voting tends toward the Democrats, it trends toward Democrats, and then day of, it trends toward Republicans.
00:11:41.000There's been a lot, a lot of early voting.
00:11:43.000Now, there's a theory out there put forward by Eric Erickson, who's a radio host down in Georgia.
00:11:49.000And Eric suggests that a lot of the early voting is actually Republican.
00:11:52.000Because Republicans have learned that not early voting is a really bad idea.
00:11:55.000So a lot of Republicans are early voting as well.
00:11:57.000If that happened, then that would be a hidden vote for Republicans that has not yet been identified.
00:12:01.000Because again, all the modeling is based on the old models where Democrats voted early and Republicans voted day of.
00:12:06.000According to the New York Times, 3 million people have already voted in the runoff races.
00:12:10.000Nearly 40% of all registered voters in the state.
00:12:13.000That total surpasses the 2.1 million ballots cast in the state's last Senate runoff election.
00:12:18.000The early voting data suggests the races are very competitive.
00:12:21.000Some indications Democrats had a bigger share of the early voting electorate than they did in the general election, raising hopes for a party that has traditionally been the underdog in runoff races.
00:12:29.000The general supposition was that Republicans were going to have the advantage here because Trump had driven out Democratic turnout.
00:12:35.000A lot of Democrats showed up just to vote against Trump in places like Georgia.
00:12:38.000And with Trump not on the ballot, a lot of Democrats would simply not vote this time around, while Republicans would be focused laser-like on preventing the Democrats from taking the Senate.
00:12:48.000One of the reasons that has not happened is probably because President Trump continues to make Georgia the livest issue.
00:12:53.000He's not focused on Pennsylvania anymore.
00:12:55.000He's not focused on Arizona, which is weird because obviously, even if Trump wanted to retain the presidency, he would have had to show that he actually won Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
00:13:03.000Shifting the vote in Georgia doesn't change a damn thing.
00:13:05.000He would actually have to win all three of those in order for him to retain the presidency.
00:13:09.000And it's a moot point anyway, because all of these states have already certified their votes.
00:13:12.000But what that has done is it has made Trump front and center in the Georgia Senate races, and it has also driven down Republican enthusiasm for the race, because many of those people are angry at the Republican Party of Georgia for apparently not shifting their perception of the votes or certifying the votes or whatever.
00:13:45.000But the difference is that Warnock and Loeffler also had Doug Collins in the race.
00:13:50.000It's unclear exactly when we are going to know the result.
00:13:55.000Some of the rules were tweaked to encourage a faster count.
00:13:57.000The new Congress was already sworn in on Sunday.
00:14:00.000According to the New York Times, counties were required to begin scanning and processing ballots at least a week before the election, but they can't begin counting or tabulating them until the polls close on Tuesday.
00:14:09.000The new rules might lead to quicker results, although in a close race, most Georgians may go to sleep before the news outlets have enough results to declare a winner.
00:14:15.000So we could be well into tomorrow before we actually know who won these particular Senate seats.
00:14:20.000And it is very, very important who wins these Senate seats.
00:14:23.000So Eric Erickson, again, I mentioned him because he is sort of closest to the action there.
00:14:28.000He believes that David Perdue is in good shape against John Ossoff.
00:14:34.000He says that Ossoff has been tying himself to Raphael Warnock because Warnock is outperforming particularly with black voters.
00:14:40.000Ossoff does not have the same appeal with black voters that Warnock apparently does.
00:14:43.000And so Ossoff has been tying himself to Warnock's leg and attempting to push Warnock over the finish line and in return hoping that Warnock helps black voters vote for him.
00:14:52.000According to Erickson, he says, quote, Ossoff can't save himself, maybe he can help Warnock.
00:14:55.000That Ossoff is having to play attack dog in his tag team with Warnock also reinforces the idea that Warnock's unfavorable rating has skyrocketed.
00:15:02.000It really does appear that Purdue has enough black and Hispanic voters voting for him over farming and agricultural issues that Ossoff probably cannot pull it off.
00:15:08.000The real race and focus is now on Warnock and Loeffler.
00:15:12.000If you follow the money and the attacks around the state and notice what the black farming community in South Georgia is doing, the Republicans probably keep the Senate.
00:15:17.000So that makes me feel at least a little bit better.
00:15:20.000In just a second, we're gonna go through all the reasons why, actually, of the two Democrats, the one who certainly should not be in the Senate is Raphael Warnock.
00:15:30.000Raphael Warnock is a disaster area of a human being.
00:15:33.000There is no way that this schmuck should be in the Senate of the United States.
00:15:36.000And I say that advisedly, because the Senate is filled with schmucks.
00:15:39.000This guy would be one of the more egregious schmucks in the Senate of the United States.
00:15:44.000I don't want to hear any more about radicalism inside the Republican Party when you guys are all rooting on the Democratic Party for Raphael Warnock, a man who has endorsed Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright, and Fidel Castro.
00:15:54.000Spare me the crocodile tears for just a moment if you're going to continue along those lines.
00:15:57.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:16:00.000First, if getting life insurance is on your to-do list for 2021, Policy Genius can help you cross it off with ease.
00:16:05.000And it should be on your to-do list because if you are a responsible human being, you want to make sure that your family is taken care of in case, God forbid, something should happen to you.

00:16:23.000First, you head on over to PolicyGenius.com.
00:16:54.000You can save 50% or more by comparing quotes.
00:16:56.000Start the new year with one less thing to worry about.
00:16:58.000There are a lot of things in life to procrastinate about.
00:17:00.000Life insurance is not one of them because if you procrastinate and you are wrong, it is then too late.
00:17:03.000Officially, it is too late for you to get life insurance once you have failed.
00:17:07.000Okay, so, Raphael Warnock is a disaster, and I think it's worth playing some of Raphael Warnock's greatest hits here.
00:17:10.000percent or more by comparing quotes over a policy genius today.
00:17:14.000OK, so Raphael Warnock is a disaster, and I think it's worth playing some of Raphael Warnock's greatest hits here, because as a reminder, I don't care what you feel about the presidential election.
00:17:23.000I don't care what you feel about President Trump or about the Senate I don't care what you feel about the Electoral College when it comes to this Senate race.
00:17:31.000These, and by the way, you know who else doesn't care?
00:17:33.000Trump was down there last night in Georgia rallying for Loeffler and Perdue saying it's important for the Republicans to retain the Senate.
00:17:40.000It is particularly important to keep Raphael Warnock out of the Senate.
00:17:44.000Raphael Warnock, John Ossoff is just like a normal Democratic Socialist.
00:17:47.000He's just your normal, everyday, trust fund Democrat Socialist who has bad views and is extraordinarily disingenuous.
00:17:54.000Raphael Warnock is a deeply radical figure.
00:18:13.000Raphael Warnock, truly down to his bones, believes horrible things about the United States.
00:18:18.000So, just a few of Raphael Warnock's greatest hits for the media that didn't cover them.
00:18:21.000Because the media have decided that Raphael Warnock is actually a godsend.
00:18:24.000The New York Times printed a piece over the weekend talking about how Raphael Warnock loves to speak uncomfortable truths.
00:18:30.000And what if he likes to speak The Nation of Islam is significant.
00:18:32.000But its numbers don't come anywhere near the membership of our churches.
00:18:35.000What would you think of a candidate who praised Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam as important?
00:18:39.000Well, here is Rafael Warnock doing just that a couple of years ago.
00:18:43.000The Nation of Islam is significant, but its numbers don't come anywhere near the membership of our churches. Its voice has been important, and its voice has been important even for the development of black theology.
00:19:07.000Because it was the black Muslims who challenged black preachers.
00:19:13.000That is the person who they want to elevate to the United States Senate.
00:19:16.000What if you had this guy saying on tape that Fidel Castro's Cuba is very much like the United States of America?
00:19:52.000Like, you know, jailing tens of thousands of dissidents, creating a living situation so bad that people literally attempt to float cars from the 1950s from Cuba to the coast of Florida.
00:20:02.000But it's a complex legacy, says Raphael Warnock.
00:20:04.000That guy is the person that the Democrats desperately want in the Senate.
00:20:08.000What if, for example, this person had suggested that America worships whiteness?
00:20:12.000This person running for the United States Senate in a majority white state, because Georgia is a majority white state like every other state in America so far, as I'm aware, except for I think California, which is now plurality minority.
00:20:23.000Raphael Warnock saying that the state in which he lives, right, worships white, like white people are worshipped in the United States, says Raphael Warnock.
00:20:30.000Interesting take from a person the Democrats desperately want in the Senate.
00:20:35.000And if it is true that A man who has dominated the news and poisoned the discussion for months needs to repent?
00:20:44.000Then it is doubly true that a nation that can produce such a man and make his vitriol go viral needs to repent.
00:20:51.000No matter what happens next month, more than a third of the nation that would go along with this is reason to be afraid.
00:20:58.000America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness.
00:21:51.000I'm old enough to remember when a congressional candidate named Todd Akin said something weird about rape and abortion.
00:21:58.000Something bizarre and strange about rape and abortion in the Missouri race.
00:22:02.000Several election cycles ago, every single Republican in America was asked about it.
00:22:05.000Raphael Warnock says things like, Fidel Castro is a complex person, and Nation of Islam is great.
00:22:11.000He also, by the way, says that Israel is routinely committing human rights violations, and is horrible and evil, and the Palestinians are just the sad victims of all of this.
00:22:21.000He says that America is a racist place, and he says that nobody can serve God in the military, and not a single Democrat has been asked about Raphael Warnock's comments.
00:22:58.000We'll get to more of the greatest hits of Raphael Warnock in just one second.
00:23:01.000A lot of stuff that you're not going to hear unless you actually pay attention to alternative media, because the regular media are just the mouthpiece for the Democratic Party.
00:23:14.000First, let's talk about one area of your life where you might be vulnerable to people stealing your assets that you might not have thought about.
00:23:21.000So, you think about many things that you own that are worth a lot of money.
00:23:25.000And the thing you own, undoubtedly, that is worth the most money is your house.
00:23:28.000And nobody can steal your house, right?
00:23:29.000I mean, nobody's gonna, like, back up a truck and then just drag your house away.
00:23:32.000But what they can do is they can access your home title.
00:23:35.000I got a crash course into home title theft and it is not good.
00:23:56.000In the unlikely event you become a victim of title theft while a member, HomeTitleLock will spend up to a quarter million bucks in legal fees to help restore your home title.
00:24:27.000We've got a lot of problems, but I would not be a prophet if I did not tell you that racism is America's preexisting condition in this land where we warehouse 25 percent of the world's prisoners.
00:24:40.000Although we are only 5 percent of the world, we ought to ask ourselves, what has it cost us not to cover it?
00:24:48.000Not to face up to it, not to confront it, not to deal with it.
00:24:52.000Racism is America's pre-existing condition.
00:24:55.000Okay, this guy is considered the stronger candidate in Georgia.
00:24:57.000Between Ossoff and Warnock, this guy is considered the frontrunner among the Democrats in Georgia.
00:25:02.000Like he's the stronger horse in Georgia.
00:25:05.000Because the entire democratic liberal establishment has bought into the ridiculous critical race theory suggestion that America is inherently racist, its institutions are inherently racist, and that only the people who speak truth to power like Raphael Warnock have legitimacy to say this kind of bullcrap routinely.
00:25:20.000I mean, the man's on tape preaching Marxism and preaching that America's a racist nation.
00:25:42.000He said, well, I'm not a Marxist, but I know a few Marxists and they're pretty good people.
00:25:47.000So hard to discover and to hear an authentic vision and voice of authentic spirituality that gives voice to the least of these.
00:25:55.000And when it shows up, people describe it as some strange ideology rather than the vision of that poor Palestinian prophet who said that the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
00:26:07.000Okay, there's so many things wrong with that.
00:26:09.000Number one, Jesus was not a socialist.
00:26:10.000Number two, Jesus was not a Palestinian because Palestinians did not exist.
00:26:26.000I mean, by the way, when you're talking about fealty to biblical text and fealty to the Bible, you might not want to say that abortion is consistent with your Christian views.
00:26:35.000I mean, that's what all good Christians say, so far as I'm aware, is that killing the unborn in your womb is totally something Jesus was up for.
00:26:41.000I believe that health care is a human right.
00:26:45.000And I believe that it is something that the richest nation in the world provides for its citizens.
00:26:50.000And for me, reproductive justice is consistent with my commitment to that.
00:26:56.000I believe unequivocally in a woman's right to choose, and that the decision is something that we don't want government engaged in.
00:27:06.000I've been focused on women's health, women's choice, and reproductive justice.
00:27:10.000That is consistent with my view as a Christian minister.
00:27:16.000Oh, well, you know, if it's consistent with his view, I mean, not consistent with the Bible, but if it's consistent with his view, then, of course, we should take it very seriously.
00:27:22.000As far as him on a personal level, it now turns out, according to Jim Garrity over at National Review, that Raphael Warnock has had some trouble paying his taxes and fees in Fulton County, Georgia.
00:27:30.000Four times in six years, Warnock, as CEO of Ebenezer Baptist Church, had tax liens imposed against him for failing to pay for trash collection and recycling.
00:27:37.000The Fulton County Tax Commissioner collects fees for trash collection and recycling on behalf of the city of Atlanta.
00:27:44.000For those wondering if the church would be considered exempt, no, the church is not considered exempt.
00:27:49.000So he makes about $250,000 a year, by the way, leading that congregation, but he couldn't pay the trash fees.
00:27:55.000Also, caught on tape, an altercation between him and his wife and the police in which his ex-wife accused him of running over her foot with a car and then talked about how innately dishonest he was.
00:28:05.000This got zero Broad coverage in the mainstream media.
00:30:23.000But Democrats are down there saying Raphael Warnock ought to be the frontrunner for this.
00:30:27.000But again, he is the one who is most of the two Democrats.
00:30:29.000He's the one who is more likely to end up in the United States Senate, which says something about the disgraceful state of our politics.
00:30:35.000I mean, that guy shouldn't be within sniffing distance of the United States Senate.
00:30:38.000Meanwhile, in the other race, you have John Ossoff running against David Perdue.
00:30:42.000And Ossoff is not running against David Perdue.
00:30:44.000Ossoff is running against Kelly Loeffler, right?
00:30:46.000He is trying to boost Warnock and he's trying to attack Loeffler because his goal here is to be the attack dove on behalf of Warnock, hoping that Warnock's black support will then translate over into support for John Ossoff.
00:30:56.000So he's going out there and he's just saying overtly false things about Kelly Loeffler.
00:30:59.000So over the weekend, he was asked specifically about the fact that he has covered up, for example, his own involvement with Chinese firms, like he's received money from Chinese firms that he refused to report on.
00:31:09.000And now, and his response was, Kelly Loeffler is campaigning with a Klansman, which is an overt lie.
00:31:13.000Of course she's not campaigning with a Klansman.
00:31:35.000Kelly Loeffler has been campaigning with a Klansman.
00:31:40.000Kelly Loeffler has been campaigning with a Klansman.
00:31:44.000And so she is stooping to these vicious personal attacks to distract from the fact that she's been campaigning with a former member of the Ku Klux Klan.
00:31:54.000I mean, we deserve better than that here in Georgia.
00:31:57.000I mean, no, what we deserve better than is people like Jon Ossoff, who's spent his benighted, ridiculous trust fund career basically living off of his family's largesse and then trying to facilitate his entry into politics several times over and losing every time.
00:32:10.000He lost to Karen Handel, then he lost to Purdue, and now he's going to lose again to Purdue, we can hope, today.
00:32:15.000By the way, this is the same Jon Ossoff.
00:32:17.000who apparently, according to the Washington Free Beacon, declined a request from the Washington Post to quote, release further financial information relating to his company, noting that the particulars of our annual finances are confidential, even after a number of controversial payments to Asaf's foreign film company surfaced in September, including one from a Chinese-backed media giant.
00:32:36.000The refusal came months after Asaf quietly disclosed receiving at least $5,000 from PCCW, a Hong Kong-based media corporation owned in part by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:32:44.000But his redirect is that Kelly Loeffler is a racist, of course.
00:32:49.000Ossoff is the kind of delight, by the way, who also says that Trump supporters should never show their face in public again.
00:32:54.000So remember that, Georgian Republicans, if you're from Georgia and you are not voting today, remember, the person who could get elected to that Senate seat believes you should never be able to show your face in public again for the rest of your life.
00:33:39.000This isn't even talking about, this is talking about who the people are that you're talking about elevating to the Senate.
00:33:43.000This isn't even talking about the national implications of this vote.
00:33:47.000Again, Kamala Harris running the United States Senate with Joe Biden in the presidency and Nancy Pelosi in the House is a disaster area beyond disaster areas.
00:33:55.000Get ready for full-on nationalized healthcare.
00:33:58.000Really, because the so-called public option is, as everyone knows, just a gateway to full-on nationalized healthcare.
00:34:25.000Okay, it comes down to those two Senate races today in Georgia.
00:34:29.000The battle is on, and if you're sitting home, there is no excuse for it, on any moral or political level, none.
00:34:35.000We're gonna get to more of this in just one second, and we'll get to why it is that so many Georgia citizens seem suspicious of some of the procedures in the state of Georgia when it comes to voting.
00:34:46.000It is amazing to me that Stacey Abrams, who's been championed as this light and joy when it comes to Georgia voting, after claiming for years without any evidence that Georgia was engaged in voter suppression, I'm going to give you an example of why people might be suspicious of the fact that Democrats wish constantly to push forward with procedures that completely undercut voter credibility and voter veracity.
00:36:48.000It's a tsunami that overwhelms you of commentary and content and entertainment and culture.
00:36:54.000And it says that conservatives are bad people.
00:36:57.000Every narrative is driven to this extent.
00:37:00.000When people say that politics is downstream from culture, this is what they mean.
00:37:03.000That when we have political discussions about specific races or about specific issues, All of that is downstream from generalized feelings that people have with regard to people across the political aisle from them.
00:37:14.000So when you have an entire culture pushing the idea that every conservative is John Lithgow from Footloose, that is a really, really problem hectic thing.
00:38:38.000You need to make sure that somebody is competing with the Netflixes and the Amazons of the world to ensure that people can actually see entertainment that doesn't spit on them every day of the week.
00:38:47.000Run, Hide, Fight is the name of the film.
00:38:48.000It will be available to watch Friday, January 15th, my birthday, over at dailywire.com.
00:38:52.000We'll be doing a special live stream premiere the night before, Thursday, January 14th, on the Daily Wire YouTube channel.
00:38:58.000Let's kick off 2020 by fighting back in the actual culture wars, creating our own content.
00:39:09.000Okay, so meanwhile in Georgia, obviously a lot of people in Georgia are very concerned about voter procedures in the state.
00:39:23.000One of the reasons that people are very concerned is because you have judges like Stacey Abrams' sister, who literally attempted to allow people who should not be eligible to vote, to vote.
00:39:33.000A political report of December 28th, a federal judge in Georgia ordered two counties to reverse a decision removing more than 4,000 voters from the rolls ahead of the January 5th runoff elections that would decide control of the United States Senate.
00:39:43.000The judge is Leslie Abrams Gardner, the sister of Stacey Abrams.
00:39:47.000She concluded that the counties appeared to have improperly relied on unverified change of address data to invalidate registration in the two counties.
00:39:53.000So basically what happened is that there were some people, they went through the voter registration data, they found that there were literally thousands of people who had changed their addresses, the board of canvassing, Take a look at this.
00:40:01.000They found that this was probably correct and they wanted to invalidate the ability of those people to vote.
00:40:08.000OK, and then the plaintiff said, OK, we don't want this judge ruling on this case because it turns out not only is she Stacey Abrams sister, but that Stacey Abrams is involved in very, very similar litigation.
00:40:15.000And the lawyers in that litigation are also the lawyers in this particular litigation, even though Stacey Abrams isn't directly involved in this litigation.
00:40:43.000But the media have suggested that any Republican who's suspicious of any voting protocol, it's just because they're gullible and they're full of it and they're crazy.
00:40:54.000I have suggested over and over and over that allegations, especially outsized allegations, require outsized evidence.
00:40:58.000I've been perfectly consistent on this across every single issue of which I am aware.
00:41:02.000Whether you're alleging that America is systemically racist, whether you're alleging that America is systemically sexist, whether you are arguing that America's police are targeting black Americans, whether you are arguing That Donald Trump is a Russian asset.
00:41:14.000I have always said, whether you're arguing about allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, I've always said that evidence is the final adjudicator as to whether a matter is true or not.
00:41:24.000But you know who has not held this standard, like, at all?
00:41:27.000Democrats and members of the media who have maintained that all of the proposals that I just put forward as lacking evidence are true without providing any of the evidence.
00:41:35.000So spare me the hysterics from people like Don Lemon at CNN.
00:41:38.000He says, we don't have to respect Trump supporters who believe this crap about voter fraud.
00:41:44.000You at CNN believe Stacey Abrams' crap about voter suppression in a race she lost by 50,000 votes.
00:41:49.000So why exactly, who are you to be sneering, in other words?
00:41:53.000And here is Don Lemon on CNN doing the sneering, because again, these are your objective news media.
00:41:57.000And so stop saying that we must respect Trump supporters who believe bulls**t, because it is bulls**t that you have been feeding them.
00:42:06.000The president and you have been feeding them the BS, and now that they believe it, all of a sudden, again, another self-fulfilling prophecy and feedback loop.
00:42:16.000Now, with that said, I do think that it is worthwhile noting here that the many of the allegations that have been specifically made in Georgia have been, in fact, thoroughly debunked.
00:42:24.000Doesn't mean every allegation has been thoroughly debunked.
00:42:26.000It does mean that some of the more egregious allegations, Dominion voting, for example, or tens of thousands of dead people voting, that sort of stuff.
00:42:34.000Gabriel Sterling, who is the elections official in Georgia, did a very long press conference yesterday in which he went through these allegations in detail.
00:42:41.000And if you care about facts, you should actually listen to what Gabriel Sterling has to say.
00:42:45.000I understand that it may debunk some ideas that people have about election verification in Georgia.
00:42:52.000I understand that a lot of people want to believe what President Trump has said about this sort of stuff.
00:42:56.000But the bottom line is that President Trump is not particularly detail-oriented.
00:43:00.000I don't think that he really cares very much about the specific allegations.
00:43:03.000He has the general tenor of the allegations, which is what he repeats.
00:43:06.000That's the way that Trump does business.
00:44:07.000Because last night, Bret Baier asked him specifically about it, and Josh Hawley had no answer to it.
00:44:12.000Bret Baier said, are you saying that Donald Trump is going to be president on January 21st, or has any shot at being president on January 21st?
00:44:18.000And Hawley himself said, The reason that I'm challenging these votes is not because I think that it's going to change the outcome of the election.
00:44:24.000I'm doing it because I care about voter fraud and voter integrity.
00:44:26.000I also care about voter fraud and voter integrity, which is why we should redo the laws in a lot of these states.
00:44:31.000Universal mail-in balloting is a disaster area.
00:44:35.000All of these laws need to be clarified in states like Pennsylvania.
00:44:38.000Okay, there needs to be immediate vote counting as the counts come in, in the pre-vote, in places like Florida, so that you can have, right, Florida did this, and it was great, right?
00:44:46.000Georgia did not, and so you end up with these days-long counts.
00:45:02.000And Howley basically acknowledged it's not gonna change the outcome of the election.
00:45:06.000You've seen various Senate Republicans say they won't support, they either won't object to any states or they won't support any challenge, any debate to any of these electors.
00:45:15.000So their votes are their votes and people have to reach their own conclusions.
00:45:19.000But I think it is absolutely imperative.
00:45:21.000When you look at something that happened or like what happened in Pennsylvania, for example, where you had a state that didn't even follow It's own constitution and its own laws.
00:45:30.000You've got allegations of irregularities in that state and many others.
00:45:34.000It is vital that we be heard on this issue and we have a chance to debate it.
00:45:46.000So don't believe anybody in the media or anywhere else who is telling you that this is a litmus test about fighting voter fraud or voter irregularity.
00:45:53.000It's not going to change a damn thing.
00:45:56.000If you actually want to change the voter fraud and voter irregularity procedures, you have to do that within the state.
00:46:00.000Nor do you want the federal government, especially a federal government run by Democrats, being the final adjudicator of what constitutes a free and fair election.
00:46:06.000If you don't like democratic standards for elections, don't hand over democratic elections to the federal government.
00:46:11.000That is like the worst solution that you could have with regard to some of this stuff.
00:46:15.000Meanwhile, the vaccine rollout continues to be incredibly slow across America, and naturally, the media are blaming Republicans, which makes no sense, since Republicans are the only ones who are actually attempting to tranche out this vaccine as fast as humanly possible.
00:46:27.000Meanwhile, you have Andrew Cuomo, who has simultaneously said that he's going to fine people a million dollars for not doing the prioritization system properly in tranching out the vaccines.
00:46:37.000In other words, if somebody hands out a vaccine to the wrong person, he'll fine you a million dollars.
00:46:41.000Also, if you waste a dose, he'll fine you a million dollars.
00:46:44.000This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
00:46:46.000Andrew Cuomo is an awful, awful governor.
00:46:50.000They're focused laser-like on the governor who has actually done the best in terms of having a challenging situation with millions and millions of seniors living in his state.
00:46:57.000That would, of course, be Ron DeSantis.
00:46:59.000Florida's death per million rate is 19th in America.
00:47:07.000So, yesterday, Ron DeSantis rightly got very pissed off at a reporter because the reporter decided she was just going to basically ask him why he was a bad person.
00:47:16.000And he filled her in on why she doesn't know anything about the vaccine distribution process.
00:47:20.000We've seen websites crash and also senior citizens waiting overnight for the vaccine.
00:48:51.000Once you take them out of the freezers, particularly the Pfizer vaccine, it goes bad after a certain amount of time, which is why in California, apparently, there was a situation where somebody removed too much vaccine from the freezer and there weren't enough people there.
00:49:03.000So they literally just went around and started sticking people.
00:49:09.000When DeSantis says the reason people are showing up for the vaccine is because it is only being made available in certain counties by certain areas and people are showing up and they will wait overnight in line to do it, By the way, my parents would do that, right?
00:49:20.000My parents are just under the 65 age limit, okay?
00:49:23.000If the vaccine were made available to them, 100% they would camp out overnight to get the vaccine so they could see their other grandchildren, right?
00:49:44.000You don't hold that in a freezer for a month.
00:49:45.000You trench out all the vaccines right now.
00:49:47.000Second, there's open talk now about the fact that one half a dose of the vaccine is exactly the same in its immune response, is what Dr. Slowy over at Operation Warp Speed says, as an entire dose of the vaccine.
00:49:58.000So you cut it, all those doses in half.
00:50:00.000You have now quadrupled the amount of vaccine in circulation.
00:50:14.000If you would like the vaccine to be tranched out so we can all get back to something resembling normal life, then stop with all the FDA, CDC garbage and get the vaccine out the door as fast as possible to the oldest people possible and then move on down the chain.
00:50:26.000Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.
00:50:31.000Otherwise, we will see you here later.
