The Ben Shapiro Show - It’s All Down To Georgia | Ep. 1166

00:00:00.000 Republicans defend two seats to hold the United States Senate.

00:00:03.000 The COVID vaccine rollout continues to hit speed bumps.

00:00:05.000 And Kamala Harris plagiarizes from Martin Luther King Jr.

00:00:08.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:08.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:13.000 This show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

00:00:15.000 Don't like big tech and the government spying on you?

00:00:18.000 Well, visit ExpressVPN.com slash Ben to protect yourself.

00:00:22.000 Well, before we get started, just want to quick remind you, quickly remind you that you're spending too much on your cell phone bill, like way too much on your cell phone bill.

00:00:30.000 You could be saving over $800 a year simply by switching to Pure Talk USA from Verizon AT&T Or T-Mobile?

00:00:36.000 What would you do with $800?

00:00:37.000 Well, probably you wouldn't send it to your cell phone provider.

00:00:39.000 Instead, what you would do is spend it on things that you like.

00:00:42.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:00:43.000 You can have the exact same coverage as one of those big providers with a lot less cost simply by switching over to Pure Talk USA.

00:00:48.000 They've got the same coverage, the same bars as one of the big carriers.

00:00:50.000 They charge you half.

00:00:51.000 You definitely don't have to sacrifice customer service either.

00:00:54.000 Their team is based right here in the United States.

00:00:56.000 They're some of the nicest people you will ever talk to.

00:00:58.000 Get unlimited talk, text, and two gigs of data for just $20 a month.

00:01:01.000 If you go over on data usage, they're not going to charge you for it.

00:01:04.000 See, here's the thing.

00:01:04.000 A 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.

00:01:09.000 You're probably only going to use two gigs of data.

00:01:11.000 And then with peer talk, even if you go over, they're not charging you extra.

00:01:14.000 So what exactly do you have to lose?

00:01:15.000 Grab your mobile phone, dial pound 250, say Ben Shapiro.

00:01:18.000 When you do, you'll save 50% off your first month.

00:01:20.000 Dial pound two five zero, say keyword Ben Shapiro.

00:01:23.000 Pure Talk is simply smarter wireless.

00:01:25.000 Again, dial pound two five zero, say keyword Ben Shapiro.

00:01:27.000 And when you do, you save 50% off your first month of Pure Talk USA coverage.

00:01:33.000 Okay, so let's jump in today with a story that should make you happy.

00:01:37.000 It 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.

00:01:46.000 Indie, they're digging in the wrong place. 1.00

00:01:48.000 So Kamala Harris, and she's being touted as the next great thing. 0.72

00:01:51.000 She's so great, Kamala Harris!

00:01:53.000 Kamala Harris was so great that she ran in the Democratic primaries and dropped out before her home state of California had even voted. 1.00

00:01:59.000 That was after being the early frontrunner for the nomination based on calling the guy who should eventually be the running mate to a racist.

00:02:06.000 And don't you remember all this?

00:02:07.000 I know.

00:02:08.000 It's been like a year, and this year has been 20 years.

00:02:11.000 But when that race started, Kamala Harris was considered a frontrunner because she fulfilled two things that the Democrats desperately wanted. 1.00

00:02:17.000 She was a woman, and she was black. 1.00

00:02:18.000 Sure, she was unqualified. 0.97

00:02:19.000 Sure, she wasn't very good on stage.

00:02:21.000 Sure, she was incredibly rehearsed and had this weird cackle that she would break into for no reason at all.

00:02:25.000 Somebody 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.

00:02:37.000 She was so off-putting that after she called Joe Biden a racist on the stage, she couldn't back it up.

00:02:42.000 Then she suggested Joe Biden might have to drop out of the race because of sexual harassment concerns.

00:02:47.000 And then she was like, you know what?

00:02:48.000 I'm going to forget all that and I'm just going to become that guy's VP.

00:02:50.000 So Kamala Harris is not the most principled of people.

00:02:53.000 I mean, I think it is fair to say that Kamala Harris and Principal have probably never met.

00:02:57.000 In fact, they probably have not been within a 300 mile radius of one another, Kamala Harris and Principal.

00:03:02.000 But 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. 1.00

00:03:10.000 Here's the thing.

00:03:11.000 More people probably engage with the sort of checkout counters, supermarket tabloidy magazines, the InTouch magazines and the InStyle magazines and the Elle magazines.

00:03:20.000 Then they do overall with, you know, kind of normal political publications.

00:03:24.000 And so it actually makes a difference when these sorts of publications feature on their covers people like Kamala Harris.

00:03:29.000 But 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.

00:03:35.000 She didn't get that same sort of coverage.

00:03:36.000 OK, so Kamala Harris is now being recast. 0.76

00:03:38.000 So 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. 0.80

00:03:47.000 Nobody really liked her. 0.79

00:03:47.000 She went from that to what a godsend Kamala Harris is. 0.79

00:03:50.000 I mean, just unbelievable.

00:03:52.000 The intellect, the brains, the charm, the beauty all in one incredible package.

00:03:57.000 Literally four months before, the media were like, yeah, they wrote her off for dead. 0.88

00:04:00.000 They were like, okay, yeah, she was really bad at this.

00:04:02.000 Then Biden picked her, and suddenly she had been elevated to godly position.

00:04:06.000 It was like Moses anointing Joshua, his successor.

00:04:08.000 It was incredible.

00:04:09.000 This incredible scene, the light shined down from heaven, and Kamala Harris became awesome again.

00:04:14.000 She became incredible again.

00:04:16.000 She was a heroine for the ages.

00:04:18.000 And then she did precisely zero serious, hard-hitting press conferences between the time she was nominated VP and the time the election took place.

00:04:25.000 Well, now we can sort of see why this was.

00:04:28.000 I mean, you knew before, right?

00:04:29.000 She's bad at this. 0.99

00:04:30.000 But now you can totally see why this was, because this is my favorite story of the day.

00:04:33.000 It's so good.

00:04:33.000 So Elle magazine features Kamala Harris in their culture section.

00:04:37.000 And this is what your friends in the media do.

00:04:40.000 And they are not interested in putting Kamala Harris in their politics section.

00:04:42.000 She's in their culture section, you see, because culture is always upstream of politics. 1.00

00:04:46.000 And they have this long puff piece about Kamala Harris.

00:04:49.000 Here's how this puff piece starts, because it's wonderful.

00:04:52.000 Here's how this puff piece starts.

00:04:53.000 Ready?

00:04:53.000 Here we go.

00:04:54.000 Senator Kamala Harris started her life's work young.

00:04:57.000 She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family.

00:05:00.000 Okay, have you ever heard Kamala Harris laugh?

00:05:06.000 She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family if you were then going to, you know, bomb Gotham City. 0.65

00:05:12.000 As she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle.

00:05:18.000 At some point, she fell from the stroller.

00:05:20.000 Few safety regulations existed for children's equipment back then.

00:05:23.000 And the adults, caught up in the rapture of protest, just kept on marching.

00:05:27.000 By the time they noticed little Kamala was gone and doubled back, she was understandably upset.

00:05:31.000 My mother tells the story about how I'm fussing, Harris says, and she's like, baby, what do you want?

00:05:35.000 What do you need?

00:05:36.000 And I just looked at her and I said, freedom.

00:05:40.000 This is what Kamala Harris says. 0.99

00:05:43.000 Okay, so first of all, to start a story that way is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. 0.93

00:05:48.000 If 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.

00:06:00.000 This 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?

00:06:11.000 And I looked at her and I cried.

00:06:13.000 Remember one of those Twitter stories?

00:06:15.000 I fell out of the stroller and then my mommy looked at me and she said, what do you need?

00:06:17.000 I said, freedom.

00:06:19.000 By the way, in the story it is spelled F-W-E-E-D-L-M.

00:06:22.000 Freedom. 0.94

00:06:24.000 Now, there is one problem with this story, aside from the fact that it is really, really ridiculous. 0.79

00:06:30.000 It also happens to be lifted directly from Martin Luther King Jr.

00:06:32.000 So it turns out that plagiarism apparently runs throughout, like, if you get within a certain distance from Joe Biden, the plagiarism is contagious.

00:06:41.000 It's like COVID, except plagiarism.

00:06:42.000 You start sort of plagiarizing things.

00:06:44.000 This is Elizabeth Warren type stuff.

00:06:46.000 She's just taking other people's personal stories and making them her own. 0.94

00:06:49.000 But that's okay, right?

00:06:50.000 It's her truth.

00:06:51.000 Here is an interview from a 1965 Playboy with Martin Luther King by Alec Tailey, right?

00:06:57.000 The guy who wrote Roots.

00:06:59.000 Hey, you ready for this?

00:07:00.000 Here it is.

00:07:01.000 I 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.

00:07:07.000 What do you want?

00:07:08.000 The policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked him straight in the eye and answered, feed him. 1.00

00:07:14.000 She couldn't even pronounce it, but she knew it was beautiful.

00:07:17.000 So Kamala Harris, maybe it's the same girl.

00:07:21.000 Maybe it was Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:07:22.000 That little girl was me, says Kamala Harris.

00:07:25.000 Maybe it was Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:07:26.000 Or maybe politicians are the worst sort of skunks, and they lie to you continually, and they are ridiculous. 0.99

00:07:32.000 And when the media act credulous with regard to Democrats, but absolutely critical with regard to Republicans, they undercut themselves. 0.99

00:07:39.000 When the media print interviews like the one that Elle did with Kamala Harris.

00:07:42.000 By the way, I'm sure Kamala Harris has told that story a million times.

00:07:45.000 I'm sure that she trotted it out over and over.

00:07:47.000 People today were saying, well, did she think she was going to get away with it? 0.99

00:07:49.000 Well, yeah.

00:07:50.000 Why wouldn't she?

00:07:51.000 Seriously, why wouldn't she?

00:07:53.000 It took until now for anybody to fact check her story.

00:07:55.000 If 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. 1.00

00:08:02.000 And 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.

00:08:07.000 Remember, Republicans brought that up in her original Senate race in Massachusetts.

00:08:11.000 And the media were like, you can't say that about Elizabeth Warren. 0.92

00:08:14.000 She has high cheekbones.

00:08:16.000 So 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. 0.96

00:08:24.000 Absolutely insane and ridiculous, but I think it puts us in mind of where we stand in politics. 0.50

00:08:29.000 And again, don't seek higher values in your politicians. 0.95

00:08:32.000 You're not going to find them there.

00:08:33.000 By the way, check out Matt Walsh's show today.

00:08:35.000 He's gonna give his take on that story.

00:08:36.000 He'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.

00:08:44.000 Weird 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.

00:08:52.000 Strange, strange.

00:08:53.000 Okay, so that is your Kamala Harris starter for the morning.

00:08:56.000 That's just the appetizer, gang.

00:08:58.000 Pretty solid stuff.

00:08:59.000 Okay, the big story of the day, obviously, There's this runoff in Georgia.

00:09:03.000 There are two separate Republican seats that are up in Georgia.

00:09:07.000 Right now, the Senate is split 50 to 48 in favor of Republicans.

00:09:11.000 If Democrats were to win both of those seats, it would be split 50-50.

00:09:14.000 And Kamala Harris, a little girl who knew freedom.

00:09:17.000 Would be then the person who decides all the votes in the Senate.

00:09:21.000 So that means that these races are extraordinarily important.

00:09:23.000 Extraordinarily important.

00:09:25.000 And 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.

00:09:37.000 Irrelevant to the question of whether you want Democrats to run the United States Senate.

00:09:41.000 If 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.

00:09:57.000 These 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.

00:10:06.000 Do.

00:10:06.000 Not.

00:10:07.000 Stay.

00:10:07.000 Home.

00:10:08.000 You need to go out, and you need to vote.

00:10:10.000 Right now, it is, if not a toss-up, very close to a toss-off.

00:10:15.000 This toss-up.

00:10:16.000 So, 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.

00:10:24.000 Remember, there were a bevy of polling misses, particularly down-ballot.

00:10:27.000 There 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.

00:10:31.000 There were a bunch of congressional races that did the same.

00:10:35.000 So right now, if you look at the polling data, it would suggest that Jon Ossoff has a very slight lead on Sonny Perdue.

00:10:42.000 According to FiveThirtyEight, Ossoff is up 49 to 47 over Perdue, which is weird considering that Perdue beat Ossoff just a couple of months back.

00:10:49.000 He just didn't reach the 50% threshold necessary to retain the seat outright.

00:10:54.000 Perdue beat him by like 80,000 votes, so that's a big margin for Ossoff to have to make up.

00:10:59.000 Meanwhile, the other polling data shows Warnock with a 2.2 point lead over Kelly Loeffler.

00:11:06.000 Right now, the markets seem to be hedging on this.

00:11:08.000 The 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.

00:11:18.000 They would move into high-tax mode, high-regulation mode.

00:11:20.000 The market is starting to sell off as of this morning, looking at the possibility of a Democratic Senate.

00:11:25.000 Nate 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.

00:11:34.000 Do not stay home.

00:11:35.000 The data tends to show that the early voting tends toward the Democrats, it trends toward Democrats, and then day of, it trends toward Republicans.

00:11:41.000 There's been a lot, a lot of early voting.

00:11:43.000 Now, there's a theory out there put forward by Eric Erickson, who's a radio host down in Georgia.

00:11:49.000 And Eric suggests that a lot of the early voting is actually Republican.

00:11:52.000 Because Republicans have learned that not early voting is a really bad idea.

00:11:55.000 So a lot of Republicans are early voting as well.

00:11:57.000 If that happened, then that would be a hidden vote for Republicans that has not yet been identified.

00:12:01.000 Because again, all the modeling is based on the old models where Democrats voted early and Republicans voted day of.

00:12:06.000 According to the New York Times, 3 million people have already voted in the runoff races.

00:12:10.000 Nearly 40% of all registered voters in the state.

00:12:13.000 That total surpasses the 2.1 million ballots cast in the state's last Senate runoff election.

00:12:17.000 That happened in 2008.

00:12:18.000 The early voting data suggests the races are very competitive.

00:12:21.000 Some 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.

00:12:29.000 The general supposition was that Republicans were going to have the advantage here because Trump had driven out Democratic turnout.

00:12:35.000 A lot of Democrats showed up just to vote against Trump in places like Georgia.

00:12:38.000 And 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.

00:12:46.000 That has not happened.

00:12:48.000 One of the reasons that has not happened is probably because President Trump continues to make Georgia the livest issue.

00:12:53.000 He's not focused on Pennsylvania anymore.

00:12:55.000 He'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.

00:13:03.000 Shifting the vote in Georgia doesn't change a damn thing.

00:13:05.000 He would actually have to win all three of those in order for him to retain the presidency.

00:13:09.000 And it's a moot point anyway, because all of these states have already certified their votes.

00:13:12.000 But 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.

00:13:30.000 So what exactly should we expect?

00:13:32.000 Well, in November, David Perdue received 49.7% of the vote, just short of the majority.

00:13:38.000 He beat Ossoff by 88,000 votes.

00:13:40.000 On the other side, Warnock had 32.9% of the vote.

00:13:44.000 Kelly Loeffler had 25.9% of the vote.

00:13:45.000 But the difference is that Warnock and Loeffler also had Doug Collins in the race.

00:13:50.000 It's unclear exactly when we are going to know the result.

00:13:55.000 Some of the rules were tweaked to encourage a faster count.

00:13:57.000 The new Congress was already sworn in on Sunday.

00:14:00.000 According 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.

00:14:09.000 The 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.

00:14:15.000 So we could be well into tomorrow before we actually know who won these particular Senate seats.

00:14:20.000 And it is very, very important who wins these Senate seats.

00:14:23.000 So Eric Erickson, again, I mentioned him because he is sort of closest to the action there.

00:14:28.000 He believes that David Perdue is in good shape against John Ossoff.

00:14:34.000 He says that Ossoff has been tying himself to Raphael Warnock because Warnock is outperforming particularly with black voters.

00:14:40.000 Ossoff does not have the same appeal with black voters that Warnock apparently does.

00:14:43.000 And 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. 0.83

00:14:52.000 According to Erickson, he says, quote, Ossoff can't save himself, maybe he can help Warnock.

00:14:55.000 That Ossoff is having to play attack dog in his tag team with Warnock also reinforces the idea that Warnock's unfavorable rating has skyrocketed.

00:15:02.000 It 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.

00:15:08.000 The real race and focus is now on Warnock and Loeffler.

00:15:10.000 The races are both tight.

00:15:12.000 If 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. 0.98

00:15:17.000 So that makes me feel at least a little bit better.

00:15:20.000 In 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.

00:15:27.000 Raphael Warnock is a radical Marxist.

00:15:30.000 Raphael Warnock is a disaster area of a human being. 0.99

00:15:33.000 There is no way that this schmuck should be in the Senate of the United States. 1.00

00:15:36.000 And I say that advisedly, because the Senate is filled with schmucks. 1.00

00:15:39.000 This guy would be one of the more egregious schmucks in the Senate of the United States. 0.99

00:15:44.000 I 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. 0.97

00:15:54.000 Spare me the crocodile tears for just a moment if you're going to continue along those lines.

00:15:54.000 Spare me.

00:15:57.000 We'll get to more of this in just one second.

00:16:00.000 First, if getting life insurance is on your to-do list for 2021, Policy Genius can help you cross it off with ease.

00:16:05.000 And 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.

00:17:00.000 Life insurance is not one of them because if you procrastinate and you are wrong, it is then too late.

00:17:03.000 Officially, it is too late for you to get life insurance once you have failed.

00:17:07.000 Okay, so, Raphael Warnock is a disaster, and I think it's worth playing some of Raphael Warnock's greatest hits here.

00:17:10.000 percent or more by comparing quotes over a policy genius today.

00:17:14.000 OK, 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.

00:17:23.000 I 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.

00:17:31.000 These, and by the way, you know who else doesn't care?

00:17:32.000 Trump, right?

00:17:33.000 Trump was down there last night in Georgia rallying for Loeffler and Perdue saying it's important for the Republicans to retain the Senate.

00:17:40.000 It is particularly important to keep Raphael Warnock out of the Senate.

00:17:44.000 Raphael Warnock, John Ossoff is just like a normal Democratic Socialist.

00:17:47.000 He's just your normal, everyday, trust fund Democrat Socialist who has bad views and is extraordinarily disingenuous.

00:17:54.000 Raphael Warnock is a deeply radical figure.

00:17:57.000 An extraordinarily radical figure.

00:17:59.000 Basically, John Ossoff is just sort of a Pete Buttigieg type.

00:18:05.000 He's somebody who mimics Barack Obama's patterns of speech.

00:18:09.000 And who is fluent in lies and says socialistic things.

00:18:12.000 But that's about it.

00:18:13.000 Raphael Warnock, truly down to his bones, believes horrible things about the United States.

00:18:18.000 So, just a few of Raphael Warnock's greatest hits for the media that didn't cover them.

00:18:21.000 Because the media have decided that Raphael Warnock is actually a godsend.

00:18:24.000 The New York Times printed a piece over the weekend talking about how Raphael Warnock loves to speak uncomfortable truths.

00:18:30.000 And what if he likes to speak The Nation of Islam is significant.

00:18:32.000 But its numbers don't come anywhere near the membership of our churches.

00:18:35.000 What would you think of a candidate who praised Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam as important?

00:18:39.000 Well, here is Rafael Warnock doing just that a couple of years ago.

00:18:43.000 The 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.

00:19:07.000 Because it was the black Muslims who challenged black preachers. 0.97

00:19:13.000 That is the person who they want to elevate to the United States Senate.

00:19:16.000 What if you had this guy saying on tape that Fidel Castro's Cuba is very much like the United States of America?

00:19:21.000 Oh wait, we do.

00:19:23.000 We pray for the people of Cuba in this moment.

00:19:29.000 We remember Fidel Castro, whose legacy is complex.

00:19:35.000 Don't let anybody tell you a simple story.

00:19:37.000 Life usually isn't very simple.

00:19:42.000 His legacy is complex.

00:19:47.000 It's kind of like America's legacy.

00:19:49.000 It's complex.

00:19:50.000 It's true.

00:19:51.000 Raphael Castro's legacy is complex.

00:19:52.000 Like, 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.

00:20:02.000 But it's a complex legacy, says Raphael Warnock.

00:20:04.000 That guy is the person that the Democrats desperately want in the Senate.

00:20:08.000 What if, for example, this person had suggested that America worships whiteness?

00:20:12.000 This 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.

00:20:23.000 Raphael Warnock saying that the state in which he lives, right, worships white, like white people are worshipped in the United States, says Raphael Warnock.

00:20:30.000 Interesting take from a person the Democrats desperately want in the Senate.

00:20:35.000 And if it is true that A man who has dominated the news and poisoned the discussion for months needs to repent?

00:20:44.000 Then it is doubly true that a nation that can produce such a man and make his vitriol go viral needs to repent.

00:20:51.000 No matter what happens next month, more than a third of the nation that would go along with this is reason to be afraid.

00:20:58.000 America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness. 0.55

00:21:02.000 What a sweet fellow.

00:21:05.000 Why shouldn't that guy sit in the United States Senate?

00:21:07.000 What if we had, you know, this guy on tape suggesting, for example, that you can't both be in the military and serve God?

00:21:13.000 Well, what if you had that guy on tape in a state like Georgia, which is a heavy military state?

00:21:18.000 Should that guy be in the United States Senate?

00:21:20.000 Democrats say you need him in the Senate, Raphael Warnock.

00:21:22.000 Again, this is like the easiest.

00:21:23.000 The OPPO research on Warnock is the easiest thing in the world.

00:21:25.000 You just look at what he said.

00:21:27.000 And yet Democrats are down there campaigning for him.

00:21:29.000 The media are covering for him in real time.

00:21:31.000 The media, honestly, figuratively, the media establishment needs to be burned to the ground.

00:21:37.000 Figuratively, for those that media matters. 0.71

00:21:39.000 And the media establishment is awful. 0.83

00:21:41.000 Awful, awful, awful.

00:21:43.000 If Republicans had said anything remotely equivalent to this on the other side, it would be the headline for days on end.

00:21:48.000 Every Democrat would be asked if they agree with this.

00:21:50.000 Every single one.

00:21:51.000 I'm old enough to remember when a congressional candidate named Todd Akin said something weird about rape and abortion.

00:21:58.000 Something bizarre and strange about rape and abortion in the Missouri race. 0.52

00:22:02.000 Several election cycles ago, every single Republican in America was asked about it.

00:22:05.000 Raphael Warnock says things like, Fidel Castro is a complex person, and Nation of Islam is great.

00:22:11.000 He 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.

00:22:21.000 He 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.

00:22:29.000 Not one.

00:22:30.000 That is the easiest litmus test in the world for how biased and disgusting our media are.

00:22:33.000 So here is Raphael Warnock saying that you can't serve both God and the military, which is a hot take if ever I've heard one.

00:22:39.000 America, nobody can serve God and the military!

00:22:43.000 You can't serve God and money!

00:22:45.000 You cannot serve God and Mormon at the same time! 1.00

00:22:49.000 America, choose ye this day whom you will serve!

00:22:54.000 And everybody's cheering.

00:22:55.000 Oh, how wonderful.

00:22:56.000 What a wonderful guy.

00:22:57.000 What a wonderful, wonderful guy.

00:22:58.000 We'll get to more of the greatest hits of Raphael Warnock in just one second.

00:23:01.000 A 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.

00:23:07.000 That's all they are.

00:23:08.000 They're just a media matters, Democratic Party mashup.

00:23:11.000 That's all they do now.

00:23:12.000 It's pretty incredible.

00:23:13.000 We'll get to more of it in a second.

00:23:14.000 First, 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.

00:23:21.000 So, you think about many things that you own that are worth a lot of money.

00:23:25.000 And the thing you own, undoubtedly, that is worth the most money is your house.

00:23:28.000 And nobody can steal your house, right?

00:23:29.000 I mean, nobody's gonna, like, back up a truck and then just drag your house away.

00:23:32.000 But what they can do is they can access your home title.

00:23:35.000 I got a crash course into home title theft and it is not good.

00:23:37.000 Here's how the crime happens.

00:23:39.000 The legal titles to our homes are kept online.

00:23:41.000 They can be hacked.

00:23:42.000 A cyber thief finds your home's title, forges your signature on a quitclaim deed stating you sold your home to him.

00:23:47.000 Then he takes out loans against your home until all the equity is gone.

00:23:49.000 You're not going to know until the collection calls pour in.

00:23:51.000 You are not protected by insurance or your bank or common identity theft programs.

00:23:55.000 Home title lock protects you.

00:23:56.000 In 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.

00:24:03.000 It's your most prized asset.

00:24:05.000 You shouldn't let people access the value inherent in it.

00:24:07.000 Go to HomeTitleLock.com, register your address to see if you are already a victim, then use code RADIO for 30 free days of protection.

00:24:13.000 That is code RADIO at HomeTitleLock.com.

00:24:15.000 Again, that's HomeTitleLock.com.

00:24:18.000 We've got a lot of problems, but I would not be a prophet if I did not tell you that racism is America's pre-existing condition.

00:24:26.000 Oh, wait, he is.

00:24:27.000 We'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.

00:24:40.000 Although we are only 5 percent of the world, we ought to ask ourselves, what has it cost us not to cover it?

00:24:48.000 Not to face up to it, not to confront it, not to deal with it.

00:24:52.000 Racism is America's pre-existing condition.

00:24:55.000 Okay, this guy is considered the stronger candidate in Georgia.

00:24:57.000 Between Ossoff and Warnock, this guy is considered the frontrunner among the Democrats in Georgia.

00:25:02.000 Like he's the stronger horse in Georgia.

00:25:04.000 Why? 0.94

00:25:05.000 Because 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. 0.95

00:25:20.000 I mean, the man's on tape preaching Marxism and preaching that America's a racist nation. 0.79

00:25:24.000 And then what does he do?

00:25:25.000 He goes into the mainstream outlets and he says, my story could only happen in America.

00:25:28.000 This sort of two-facedness when it comes to politics is, again, common but gross.

00:25:34.000 Here is Raphael Warnock openly preaching Marxism.

00:25:36.000 Again, all this is on tape.

00:25:37.000 Where are the media for all this?

00:25:38.000 They don't care.

00:25:39.000 They don't care.

00:25:40.000 This guy ought to be in the Senate, of course.

00:25:42.000 I love this pope.

00:25:42.000 He said, well, I'm not a Marxist, but I know a few Marxists and they're pretty good people.

00:25:47.000 So hard to discover and to hear an authentic vision and voice of authentic spirituality that gives voice to the least of these.

00:25:55.000 And 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.

00:26:07.000 Okay, there's so many things wrong with that.

00:26:09.000 Number one, Jesus was not a socialist.

00:26:10.000 Number two, Jesus was not a Palestinian because Palestinians did not exist. 0.99

00:26:14.000 Palestine did not exist.

00:26:16.000 It was Judea. 1.00

00:26:17.000 Idiot. 1.00

00:26:18.000 He's an anti-Semite. 1.00

00:26:20.000 And he also happens to be, like, a pretty wild character in his own right. 1.00

00:26:20.000 He's a racist. 1.00

00:26:26.000 I 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. 0.96

00:26:34.000 But that is what he says.

00:26:35.000 I 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. 0.99

00:26:41.000 I believe that health care is a human right.

00:26:45.000 And I believe that it is something that the richest nation in the world provides for its citizens.

00:26:50.000 And for me, reproductive justice is consistent with my commitment to that.

00:26:56.000 I believe unequivocally in a woman's right to choose, and that the decision is something that we don't want government engaged in. 1.00

00:27:06.000 I've been focused on women's health, women's choice, and reproductive justice.

00:27:10.000 That is consistent with my view as a Christian minister.

00:27:16.000 Oh, 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.

00:27:22.000 As 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.

00:27:30.000 Four 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.

00:27:37.000 The Fulton County Tax Commissioner collects fees for trash collection and recycling on behalf of the city of Atlanta.

00:27:44.000 For those wondering if the church would be considered exempt, no, the church is not considered exempt.

00:27:49.000 So he makes about $250,000 a year, by the way, leading that congregation, but he couldn't pay the trash fees.

00:27:54.000 He's a delight.

00:27:55.000 Also, 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.

00:28:05.000 This got zero Broad coverage in the mainstream media.

00:28:09.000 Fox covered it.

00:28:10.000 We covered a little bit here.

00:28:11.000 It wasn't covered at all by the New York Times or CNN, so far as I'm aware, or if it was, it was in very, very minimal fashion.

00:28:16.000 Imagine if Republicans' ex-wife had come out and made allegations about this sort of thing. 0.99

00:28:21.000 Well, probably that would put Barack Obama in the Senate in 2006, probably, something like that, with Jack Ryan and Jerry Ryan.

00:28:26.000 In any case, here is Raphael Warnock and his ex-wife caught on tape.

00:28:31.000 All right, so you walked over.

00:28:32.000 So I'm like, move.

00:28:33.000 And she won't move.

00:28:34.000 And she's keeping the door open.

00:28:36.000 So I'm like, Chloe, just stay in the car.

00:28:38.000 And I move, and I close my car door, get in the car.

00:28:42.000 And I start to move slightly, thinking she's here.

00:28:48.000 Clear.

00:28:48.000 Yeah, I'm thinking she's clear.

00:28:50.000 And I barely move.

00:28:51.000 And all of a sudden, she's screaming.

00:28:53.000 Then I ran over her foot. 1.00

00:28:55.000 I don't believe it.

00:28:56.000 I've tried to keep the way that he acts under wraps for a long time and today he crossed the line.

00:29:02.000 So that is what is going on here and he's a great actor.

00:29:06.000 He is phenomenal at putting on a really good show.

00:29:10.000 Believe all women, unless they happen to be making allegations about Raphael Warnock. 0.79

00:29:13.000 In which case, don't believe the woman, ignore the story, and pretend that Raphael Warnock is a good guy.

00:29:17.000 Other indicators that perhaps Raphael Warnock is not such a wonderful person.

00:29:20.000 Not only did he praise Fidel Castro in 1995.

00:29:25.000 He was a youth pastor of a church that hosted Castro, and people chanted Fidel's name in that congregation.

00:29:32.000 Not only that, he has also praised Jeremiah Wright.

00:29:35.000 He says Jeremiah Wright is a truth teller.

00:29:39.000 Jeremiah Wright, you know, the G.D.

00:29:41.000 America guy?

00:29:42.000 The guy who said that the chickens came home to roost on 9-11?

00:29:43.000 Well, Raphael Warnock says you ought to go back and see if you can find and read, as I have, the entire sermon.

00:29:48.000 It was a very fine sermon.

00:29:49.000 Jeremiah Wright was right when he said the attack on him was, in a real sense, an attack on the black church. 0.98

00:29:53.000 The message of Jeremiah Wright was that public policy has consequences.

00:29:57.000 He also called Wright's sermon a, quote, very fine homily in his 2013 book.

00:30:01.000 And he compared Jeremiah Wright to Jeremiah.

00:30:04.000 Okay, this person is who the Democrats believe must be in the United States Senate.

00:30:09.000 By the way, also the same guy who was charged at one point.

00:30:13.000 For obstructing an investigation into child abuse.

00:30:15.000 The charges were later dropped.

00:30:17.000 He's at a summer camp.

00:30:17.000 There were allegations of child abuse.

00:30:19.000 Apparently, he tried to get between the police and people they were questioning.

00:30:22.000 He's a delight.

00:30:23.000 But Democrats are down there saying Raphael Warnock ought to be the frontrunner for this.

00:30:27.000 But again, he is the one who is most of the two Democrats.

00:30:29.000 He'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.

00:30:35.000 I mean, that guy shouldn't be within sniffing distance of the United States Senate.

00:30:38.000 Meanwhile, in the other race, you have John Ossoff running against David Perdue.

00:30:42.000 And Ossoff is not running against David Perdue.

00:30:44.000 Ossoff is running against Kelly Loeffler, right?

00:30:46.000 He 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. 0.70

00:30:56.000 So he's going out there and he's just saying overtly false things about Kelly Loeffler.

00:30:59.000 So 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.

00:31:09.000 And now, and his response was, Kelly Loeffler is campaigning with a Klansman, which is an overt lie.

00:31:13.000 Of course she's not campaigning with a Klansman.

00:31:14.000 She takes thousands of pictures.

00:31:16.000 One of the pictures included a person who happened to be a member of the Klan.

00:31:18.000 She immediately denounced that as soon as she found out who was in the picture with her.

00:31:21.000 And Asaf says that he acts like she gets a grand wizard up there introducing her at every rally. 1.00

00:31:26.000 So he's just a damned liar. 1.00

00:31:28.000 This is one of the more disgusting lies I've heard in recent memory. 1.00

00:31:31.000 Here is John Ossoff being disgusting. 0.98

00:31:34.000 Here's the bottom line. 0.95

00:31:35.000 Kelly Loeffler has been campaigning with a Klansman.

00:31:40.000 Kelly Loeffler has been campaigning with a Klansman.

00:31:44.000 And 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.

00:31:54.000 I mean, we deserve better than that here in Georgia.

00:31:57.000 I 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.

00:32:10.000 He lost to Karen Handel, then he lost to Purdue, and now he's going to lose again to Purdue, we can hope, today.

00:32:15.000 By the way, this is the same Jon Ossoff.

00:32:17.000 who 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.

00:32:36.000 The 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. 0.52

00:32:44.000 But his redirect is that Kelly Loeffler is a racist, of course. 0.94

00:32:49.000 Ossoff is the kind of delight, by the way, who also says that Trump supporters should never show their face in public again.

00:32:54.000 So 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. 0.96

00:33:04.000 Here he is, John Ossoff, schmuck. 0.97

00:33:07.000 We need to send a message this year. 0.99

00:33:10.000 We need to send a message that if you indulge this kind of politics, you're not just going to get beaten.

00:33:16.000 You're going to get beaten so bad you can never run or show your face again in public.

00:33:21.000 Because we have had enough, absolutely enough, of what we are getting from Donald Trump and his fellow travelers right now.

00:33:30.000 Okay, so that sounds great.

00:33:32.000 You want that guy in the Senate?

00:33:33.000 If not, why don't you go vote?

00:33:34.000 Go vote today.

00:33:36.000 Go vote.

00:33:36.000 If you've not voted yet, go vote today.

00:33:38.000 Republicans must hold the Senate.

00:33:39.000 This isn't even talking about, this is talking about who the people are that you're talking about elevating to the Senate.

00:33:43.000 This isn't even talking about the national implications of this vote.

00:33:47.000 Again, 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.

00:33:55.000 Get ready for full-on nationalized healthcare.

00:33:58.000 Really, because the so-called public option is, as everyone knows, just a gateway to full-on nationalized healthcare.

00:34:05.000 That is the goal.

00:34:07.000 Get ready for massive tax hikes and tax increases.

00:34:09.000 Get ready for extraordinary violations of your religious freedom.

00:34:13.000 Get ready for public schools to continue to cram down critical race theory.

00:34:17.000 Get ready for private schools to meet crackdowns from the federal government.

00:34:20.000 Get ready for churches to be attacked as bastions of regressivism.

00:34:24.000 Get ready.

00:34:25.000 Okay, it comes down to those two Senate races today in Georgia.

00:34:29.000 The battle is on, and if you're sitting home, there is no excuse for it, on any moral or political level, none.

00:34:35.000 We'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.

00:34:46.000 It 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.

00:35:07.000 I'll get to that in one second.

00:35:08.000 First, let's talk about how you need to improve your business.

00:36:13.000 Okay, we're going to get back to everything happening in Georgia in just one second.

00:36:17.000 Then we're going to get to the Continued fallout from election 2020 and the situation in the Senate.

00:36:23.000 And we're going to get also to an extraordinary piece in the New York Times.

00:36:26.000 Extraordinary.

00:36:27.000 Just doing Chinese propaganda.

00:36:29.000 We are back to the days of Walter Durante.

00:36:31.000 The New York Times is just doing open Chinese propaganda at this point.

00:36:33.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:36:34.000 First, there's a reason millions of people believe lies about conservatives.

00:36:37.000 That is because you are constantly surrounded by an incredible, miasmatic cultural wave. 1.00

00:36:43.000 It's just in the air.

00:36:44.000 It surrounds you.

00:36:45.000 And it's a tsunami, right?

00:36:47.000 It's both air and water.

00:36:48.000 It's a tsunami that overwhelms you of commentary and content and entertainment and culture.

00:36:54.000 And it says that conservatives are bad people.

00:36:57.000 Every narrative is driven to this extent.

00:37:00.000 When people say that politics is downstream from culture, this is what they mean.

00:37:03.000 That 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.

00:37:14.000 So 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.

00:37:20.000 It is a really, really bad thing.

00:37:22.000 Now, I always say facts don't care about your feelings.

00:37:25.000 The problem is that feelings very often don't care about your facts.

00:37:27.000 Culture shapes feelings.

00:37:28.000 And this is why conservatives cannot surrender the culture to the left.

00:37:31.000 We have.

00:37:32.000 We've surrendered Hollywood to the left.

00:37:33.000 We've surrendered sports to the left.

00:37:34.000 We've surrendered so many areas of American life to the left.

00:37:37.000 So Daily Wire, this year, we are fighting back.

00:37:39.000 We are fighting back.

00:37:39.000 We're doing something.

00:37:40.000 It's risky for us as a company, but it is necessary and we need your help.

00:37:44.000 Daily Wire is jumping into the culture.

00:37:46.000 We're doing that with our first motion picture, Run, Hide, Fight.

00:37:49.000 Now, this is not a stereotypical conservative movie where it's just, you know, some sort of altar call for conservatism.

00:37:54.000 In fact, it's not particularly political because the goal here is to drive people.

00:37:59.000 Okay, so this movie is designed particularly for young people.

00:38:07.000 It is intense.

00:38:08.000 It is violent.

00:38:09.000 It is definitely rated R. It does have a powerful message to go with it.

00:38:12.000 The movie follows a high school besieged by a quartet of school shooters.

00:38:15.000 One young girl, 17-year-old Zoe Hall, uses her wits and survival skills to fight back.

00:38:20.000 It stars some actors you will know, people like Thomas Jane.

00:38:23.000 It's really, really good.

00:38:24.000 You can watch the full trailer on the Daily Wire YouTube channel right now.

00:38:28.000 You're gonna wanna see it.

00:38:29.000 It's great.

00:38:30.000 Not only is it great, it's really important because we need to push into the space.

00:38:33.000 Conservatives spend their lives whining about Hollywood.

00:38:35.000 You need to create a competitor.

00:38:37.000 You need to help out competitors.

00:38:38.000 You 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.

00:38:47.000 Run, Hide, Fight is the name of the film.

00:38:48.000 It will be available to watch Friday, January 15th, my birthday, over at dailywire.com.

00:38:52.000 We'll be doing a special live stream premiere the night before, Thursday, January 14th, on the Daily Wire YouTube channel.

00:38:58.000 Let's kick off 2020 by fighting back in the actual culture wars, creating our own content.

00:39:03.000 The culture wars have to be fought.

00:39:04.000 That's what we're doing here at Daily Wire.

00:39:05.000 Go check us out, dailywire.com.

00:39:09.000 Okay, so meanwhile in Georgia, obviously a lot of people in Georgia are very concerned about voter procedures in the state.

00:39:23.000 One 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.

00:39:33.000 A 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.

00:39:43.000 The judge is Leslie Abrams Gardner, the sister of Stacey Abrams.

00:39:47.000 She concluded that the counties appeared to have improperly relied on unverified change of address data to invalidate registration in the two counties.

00:39:53.000 So 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.

00:40:01.000 They found that this was probably correct and they wanted to invalidate the ability of those people to vote.

00:40:08.000 OK, 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.

00:40:15.000 And the lawyers in that litigation are also the lawyers in this particular litigation, even though Stacey Abrams isn't directly involved in this litigation.

00:40:23.000 Didn't matter.

00:40:23.000 Stacey Abrams' sister did not recuse herself.

00:40:25.000 She simply ruled on it and she said, okay, well, you know what?

00:40:27.000 We're going to, we're just going to allow people to essentially register at false addresses.

00:40:32.000 I mean, that's essentially the outcome of the case.

00:40:35.000 And she said, you know what?

00:40:36.000 There's no reason for me to recuse.

00:40:38.000 So no big deal.

00:40:39.000 No big deal.

00:40:39.000 Is it any wonder that people are somewhat suspicious here?

00:40:42.000 Somewhat suspicious? 0.98

00:40:43.000 But 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. 0.96

00:40:53.000 Here's the thing.

00:40:54.000 I have suggested over and over and over that allegations, especially outsized allegations, require outsized evidence.

00:40:58.000 I've been perfectly consistent on this across every single issue of which I am aware.

00:41:02.000 Whether 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.

00:41:14.000 I 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.

00:41:22.000 This seems fairly obvious, right?

00:41:24.000 But you know who has not held this standard, like, at all?

00:41:27.000 Democrats 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.

00:41:35.000 So spare me the hysterics from people like Don Lemon at CNN. 0.97

00:41:38.000 He says, we don't have to respect Trump supporters who believe this crap about voter fraud. 0.98

00:41:43.000 Why? 0.99

00:41:44.000 You at CNN believe Stacey Abrams' crap about voter suppression in a race she lost by 50,000 votes. 0.98

00:41:49.000 So why exactly, who are you to be sneering, in other words? 0.97

00:41:53.000 And here is Don Lemon on CNN doing the sneering, because again, these are your objective news media. 0.98

00:41:57.000 And so stop saying that we must respect Trump supporters who believe bulls**t, because it is bulls**t that you have been feeding them. 0.92

00:42:06.000 The 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. 0.57

00:42:16.000 Now, 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.

00:42:24.000 Doesn't mean every allegation has been thoroughly debunked.

00:42:26.000 It 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.

00:42:33.000 That's it's not true.

00:42:34.000 Gabriel Sterling, who is the elections official in Georgia, did a very long press conference yesterday in which he went through these allegations in detail.

00:42:41.000 And if you care about facts, you should actually listen to what Gabriel Sterling has to say.

00:42:45.000 I understand that it may debunk some ideas that people have about election verification in Georgia.

00:42:52.000 I understand that a lot of people want to believe what President Trump has said about this sort of stuff.

00:42:56.000 But the bottom line is that President Trump is not particularly detail-oriented.

00:43:00.000 I don't think that he really cares very much about the specific allegations.

00:43:03.000 He has the general tenor of the allegations, which is what he repeats.

00:43:06.000 That's the way that Trump does business.

00:43:07.000 In some cases, that's great.

00:43:07.000 In some cases, it really is not.

00:43:09.000 Here was Gabriel Sterling.

00:43:10.000 He was the Georgia voting system implementation manager talking about some of these specific allegations.

00:43:15.000 There is no shredding of ballots going on.

00:43:18.000 That's not real.

00:43:19.000 It's not happening.

00:43:20.000 No one is changing parts or pieces out of Dominion voting machines.

00:43:24.000 That's not a real—I don't even know what that means.

00:43:26.000 It's not a real thing.

00:43:28.000 That's not happening.

00:43:29.000 The president mentioned on the call yesterday, or from two days ago, that's, again, not real.

00:43:33.000 I don't even know how exactly to explain that.

00:43:36.000 We have claim after claim after claim with zero proof.

00:43:40.000 Zero.

00:43:41.000 Okay, so here's the reality of the situation.

00:43:43.000 And you know who knows this?

00:43:44.000 Everybody, including Josh Hawley, including Ted Cruz, including everybody on the Republican side of the aisle.

00:43:48.000 All the Senate election challenge stuff that is slated for tomorrow, it's gonna go nowhere.

00:43:53.000 Everybody knows this.

00:43:54.000 All of this...

00:43:55.000 Okay, there is no shot that Donald Trump ends up as president on January 21st based on these procedures.

00:44:01.000 I don't like saying uncomfortable things, but that is just a simple fact of the matter.

00:44:05.000 Hey, you know who knows that?

00:44:06.000 Josh Hawley.

00:44:06.000 You know how we know he knows that?

00:44:07.000 Because last night, Bret Baier asked him specifically about it, and Josh Hawley had no answer to it.

00:44:12.000 Bret 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?

00:44:18.000 And 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.

00:44:24.000 I'm doing it because I care about voter fraud and voter integrity.

00:44:26.000 I also care about voter fraud and voter integrity, which is why we should redo the laws in a lot of these states.

00:44:31.000 Universal mail-in balloting is a disaster area.

00:44:33.000 It should be redone.

00:44:35.000 All of these laws need to be clarified in states like Pennsylvania.

00:44:38.000 Okay, 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?

00:44:46.000 Georgia did not, and so you end up with these days-long counts.

00:44:50.000 All that stuff should be changed.

00:44:51.000 We should have voter ID, right?

00:44:52.000 All this stuff is perfectly obvious.

00:44:54.000 You don't challenge electoral college votes based on that.

00:44:56.000 So, Brett Barrett asked Howley, like, is this designed to change the outcome of the election?

00:45:01.000 Because it's not going to.

00:45:02.000 And Howley basically acknowledged it's not gonna change the outcome of the election.

00:45:06.000 You'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.

00:45:15.000 So their votes are their votes and people have to reach their own conclusions.

00:45:19.000 But I think it is absolutely imperative.

00:45:21.000 When 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.

00:45:30.000 You've got allegations of irregularities in that state and many others.

00:45:34.000 It is vital that we be heard on this issue and we have a chance to debate it.

00:45:38.000 And that's why I'm going to object.

00:45:39.000 OK, so even he is saying right there, yeah, it's about debating voter fraud.

00:45:43.000 It's not about it's not about changing the outcome of the election.

00:45:45.000 Howie knows that.

00:45:46.000 So 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.

00:45:53.000 It's not going to change a damn thing.

00:45:55.000 In terms of the outcome.

00:45:56.000 If you actually want to change the voter fraud and voter irregularity procedures, you have to do that within the state.

00:46:00.000 Nor 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.

00:46:06.000 If you don't like democratic standards for elections, don't hand over democratic elections to the federal government.

00:46:11.000 That is like the worst solution that you could have with regard to some of this stuff.

00:46:15.000 Okay.

00:46:15.000 Meanwhile, 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.

00:46:27.000 Meanwhile, 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.

00:46:37.000 In other words, if somebody hands out a vaccine to the wrong person, he'll fine you a million dollars.

00:46:41.000 Also, if you waste a dose, he'll fine you a million dollars. 0.99

00:46:44.000 This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. 1.00

00:46:46.000 Andrew Cuomo is an awful, awful governor. 1.00

00:46:48.000 But who are the media focusing on? 0.81

00:46:50.000 They'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.

00:46:57.000 That would, of course, be Ron DeSantis.

00:46:59.000 Florida's death per million rate is 19th in America.

00:47:02.000 19th.

00:47:03.000 Okay, but by media coverage, you would think that Ron DeSantis is the worst governor in America.

00:47:06.000 He is not.

00:47:07.000 So, 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.

00:47:16.000 And he filled her in on why she doesn't know anything about the vaccine distribution process.

00:47:20.000 We've seen websites crash and also senior citizens waiting overnight for the vaccine. 0.85

00:47:25.000 Where was that at?

00:47:27.000 We've seen it in Duval, Broward, Orange, and Lee County.

00:47:30.000 Why was, like, in Lee, why did that happen?

00:47:33.000 Did you investigate why?

00:47:35.000 That's my question to you, Governor.

00:47:36.000 You're the governor of the state.

00:47:37.000 I'm not the governor of the state.

00:47:38.000 Okay, but you didn't investigate why that happened.

00:47:40.000 Like, in Lee County, why was there a big line?

00:47:43.000 Did you investigate why?

00:47:45.000 Could you tell us why?

00:47:46.000 Because we distributed vaccine to hospitals and the hospital said, first come, first serve.

00:47:51.000 If you show up, we'll do it.

00:47:53.000 So they didn't use a registration system.

00:47:55.000 There wasn't anything that was done.

00:47:56.000 And there's a lot of demand for it.

00:47:58.000 So people are going to want to go ahead and get it.

00:48:00.000 So are you saying there was no plan then from the state to make sure that senior citizens didn't wait outside overnight?

00:48:05.000 So the state is not dictating the hospitals how, we're not dictating to Carlos Magoya how he runs his operations here.

00:48:12.000 That would be a total disaster.

00:48:14.000 These guys are much more competent to be able to deliver health care services than a state government could ever be.

00:48:21.000 The reality is it should not be hard to trench out the vaccines.

00:48:25.000 You have to get them to as many sites as humanly possible and then just stick everybody.

00:48:29.000 And do it in order of age.

00:48:31.000 If you show an ID and it shows that you are above the age of 70, you go first.

00:48:35.000 If you are above the age of 65, you go second.

00:48:37.000 If you are above the age of 60, you go third.

00:48:40.000 This is very not hard.

00:48:41.000 It's really not hard.

00:48:42.000 Not only that, it turns out we have an extraordinary amount of vaccine that is sitting and being wasted on the shelves.

00:48:47.000 Because these things have expiration dates.

00:48:49.000 And they also exist in the freezers.

00:48:51.000 Once 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.

00:49:03.000 So they literally just went around and started sticking people.

00:49:05.000 People were like, that's great.

00:49:06.000 Why haven't, why aren't we doing that everywhere?

00:49:07.000 Good question.

00:49:08.000 Good question.

00:49:09.000 When 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?

00:49:20.000 My parents are just under the 65 age limit, okay?

00:49:23.000 If 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?

00:49:30.000 100% they would do that.

00:49:31.000 And there are ways to get the vaccine out there faster that we are not taking advantage of. 1.00

00:49:35.000 One, stop holding back the second doses of vaccine, you idiots. 1.00

00:49:39.000 Hey, there is the first dose of vaccine. 1.00

00:49:40.000 It provides a significant amount of immunity.

00:49:43.000 There's the second dose.

00:49:44.000 You don't hold that in a freezer for a month.

00:49:45.000 You trench out all the vaccines right now.

00:49:47.000 Second, 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.

00:49:58.000 So you cut it, all those doses in half.

00:50:00.000 You have now quadrupled the amount of vaccine in circulation.

00:50:03.000 And you do this by age.

00:50:04.000 It is not hard.

00:50:05.000 It is unbelievable that we have not trenched out more vaccine at this point.

00:50:08.000 It's simply incredible that we have not done that at this point.

00:50:11.000 So, guys, get on your horses.

00:50:14.000 If 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.

00:50:26.000 Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.

00:50:31.000 Otherwise, we will see you here later.

00:50:33.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:51:03.000 You know, the Matt Wall Show, it's not just another show about politics.

00:51:07.000 I think there are enough of those already out there.

00:51:09.000 We talk about culture, because culture drives politics, and it drives everything else.

00:51:13.000 So my main focuses are life, family, faith.

00:51:18.000 Those are fundamental, and that's what this show is about.
