00:00:24.000But there's one area where you could be cutting your bills and also spending less money with companies that really don't like you very much.
00:00:29.000I'm talking, of course, about your cell phone bill.
00:00:31.000Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, they make clear pretty much every day that they care more about selling wokeness than wireless.
00:00:36.000They're making you fund their agenda with overpriced contracts and hidden fees.
00:00:39.000Stop giving these people your money, because here is the thing.
00:00:43.000You can get the exact same coverage as one of the big companies, but pay a fraction of the cost and not give your money to a company that despises you.
00:00:49.000You don't have to trade in your value system for a good phone service instead.
00:01:31.000Well, last night, there were some big primaries across the country with some really interesting results.
00:01:36.000The most obviously interesting result is that Representative Madison Cawthorn has now been defeated in his primary by State Senator Chuck Edwards.
00:01:43.000Cawthorn, of course, had been a highly controversial figure, hobnobbing with Some of the least savory members of the Republican coalition accusing people of engaging in bizarre cocaine-fueled orgies in Washington, D.C.
00:01:56.000Cawthorn had been then caught on tape doing all manner of bizarre things ranging from nakedly thrusting himself onto his cousin in some sort of bizarre video to making weird overtures to another dude to wearing ladies lingerie at a party.
00:02:18.000He was cruising for a bruising in a primary, is all I'm saying to you here.
00:02:20.000And regardless of what you think of Cawthorn himself, he was a bad candidate.
00:02:24.000And because he was a bad candidate, he lost in a hotly contested primary.
00:02:28.000So Representative Madison Cawthorn will no longer be a headache for the GOP.
00:02:33.000On the same side of the aisle, in the Pennsylvania Senate primary, in this fascinating race between Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, as well as Kathy Barnett.
00:02:42.000So Kathy Barnett was a sort of late breaking candidate who thought a lot of people thought might actually take the race because she had accelerated so fast from zero to 100.
00:02:54.000She ends up losing that primary, but the contested primary between McCormick and Oz is still very much contested.
00:03:00.000There is still no clear winner at this point.
00:03:02.000It will probably go to a recount because they're separated by just a couple of thousand votes right now.
00:03:06.000Oz is up by just a couple of thousand votes, but that is not enough to actually declare a winner in that particular race.
00:03:14.000The fact that Trump endorsed Oz as opposed to McCormick definitely meant that Oz was going to get a boost.
00:03:22.000And he did get a boost because of that.
00:03:23.000Because otherwise, Oz did not have the support of most of the Republican Party at this point.
00:03:27.000He was widely considered by sort of grassroots Republicans as not sufficiently conservative in his outlook.
00:03:33.000There are lots of old clips on his show of him talking about everything from gun control to transgenderism.
00:03:37.000He suggested, of course, that he's had sort of a political transformation a la Donald Trump, that he's become more conservative over time, that all of those clips are old clips that don't really reflect his positions as of today.
00:03:48.000But a lot of primary voters were very unhappy with that, and so they'd seem to swarm to McCormick.
00:03:52.000Oz's hit on McCormick is that McCormick was a Wall Street guy.
00:03:55.000McCormick's hit on Oz is that Oz was a TV guy.
00:03:58.000Neither one of them was considered as being sort of a hometown Pennsylvania boy because McCormick has been in New York for a long time.
00:04:04.000Mehmet Oz has been in major metropolitan areas outside Pennsylvania for a very long time.
00:04:07.000McCormick did spend most of his youth in Pennsylvania, by contrast, with Oz.
00:04:13.000Right now, again, the results are separated by less than 2,000 votes.
00:04:16.000This is going to go to a recount at this point, pretty obviously.
00:04:21.000Whichever one emerges is going to probably be the senator from Pennsylvania, given the way that this That this 2022 off your election is shaping up.
00:04:31.000It seems as though the race for that Senate seat is the Republicans to lose.
00:04:37.000Now, McCormick is an easier pick in terms of the winner because he is again more of a Glenn Young can type.
00:04:43.000He's an establishment Republican who has a bit of a Trumpy appeal in the sense that he's willing to fight culture wars.
00:05:01.000It's unclear where he stands on a lot of these issues.
00:05:04.000And so him running in a general election, while his name ID is going to be very, very high, he's also going to have a lot of high negatives because his name ID is very high, whereas McCormick is more of a stealth candidate in terms of being able to run statewide in that Senate race.
00:05:17.000So those primary results are really interesting.
00:05:20.000There's another result that is coming out from Georgia, and it really isn't a primary result because the primary hasn't been held yet, but the early voting in Georgia ends Friday.
00:05:28.000And this just gives the lie to the Democratic narrative that has been Well, that's weird, because according to Blaine Alexander, who's a reporter for NBC News, Georgia has seen record-breaking turnout for early voting.
00:05:38.000They've all been claiming that Georgia's voting laws are somehow prohibitive of black people voting.
00:05:45.000Somehow, they're an attempt to keep Democrats from voting.
00:05:47.000Well, that's weird because according to Blaine Alexander, who's a reporter for NBC News, Georgia has seen record-breaking turnout for early voting.
00:05:53.000The latest numbers per the Georgia Secretary of State's office, almost 423,000 in-person That is 200% higher than at this point in 2018.
00:06:03.000It is 150% higher than this point in 2020, which is nuts, considering this is an off-year election.
00:06:09.000The GOP has cast something like 263,000 ballots at this point early.
00:06:12.000Democratic ballots, about 195,000, which is a big number for the Democrats, considering that Stacey Abrams is running uncontested in that Democratic primary for governor.
00:06:25.000So when is the MLB going to move its all-star game back to Georgia?
00:06:30.000I mean, that lie that somehow Georgia was attempting to stifle the vote was used by Democrats for years to claim that Stacey Abrams was the actual governor of Georgia.
00:06:38.000Then it was used by Donald Trump to claim that he was the actual president based on him being jobbed out of Georgia.
00:06:44.000And now it turns out that none of that was true.
00:06:46.000That it's really, really easy to vote in Georgia and that there really isn't voter suppression in Georgia in any way, shape or form.
00:06:53.000Alrighty, coming up, there's one more result from Pennsylvania that's kind of interesting.
00:08:27.000He's a state senator from Pennsylvania.
00:08:28.000He walked away with the gubernatorial nomination.
00:08:30.000A lot of folks in the GOP were upset about this.
00:08:32.000They believe that he has no chance to win.
00:08:34.000Democrats are now admitting that they helped to engineer Mastriano's win according to Politico.
00:08:39.000Quote, one of the most fascinating things we read last night was our colleagues back and forth on the Politico live blog about how Mastriano's rise can be partly attributed to Democrats.
00:08:46.000Viewing him as the easiest Republican to defeat in the general, Josh Shapiro, who is no relation and is the Attorney General of Pennsylvania and the Democratic gubernatorial nominee in Pennsylvania, and the state Democratic Party sends out mailers boosting him.
00:08:58.000According to Holly Otterbein of Politico, helping him rise above other GOP candidates, including former Representative Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania.
00:09:05.000While Mastroianno spent less than $370,000 on TV ads, the Josh Shapiro campaign pumped more than $840,000 to air a spot attacking Mastroianno as too conservative for voters, which was an obvious attempt to boost him on the right.
00:09:19.000The ad called him one of Donald Trump's strongest supporters, which of course was an attempt to get Trump supporters to turn out for Mastriano.
00:09:25.000Now, the Democrats are playing a dangerous game here because you'll recall that in the past they've attempted to pick Republican candidates to run against.
00:09:34.000Sometimes it ends with Donald Trump sitting in the White House.
00:09:36.000So we'll see how that plays out for the Democrats in Pennsylvania in what is a very bad year for Democrats.
00:09:42.000Well, speaking of this being a very bad year for Democrats, The Democrats continue their attempt to swivel away from their incipient 2022 devastating loss, which is going to happen.
00:09:53.000First, it was the abortion issue and talk about abortion, abortion.
00:09:56.000And then it turns out that didn't move the polls.
00:09:57.000And now they're doubling down on what they always double down on.
00:10:00.000Everybody we don't like is a vicious racist.
00:10:02.000And the narrative after this Buffalo, New York shooting is that America is a horribly racist place.
00:10:07.000Now, there is something worth noting here just at the outset.
00:10:10.000Democrats, as I've said over and over, they're conflating the Great Replacement Theory, which is a very specific theory suggesting that there are Jewish elites who are attempting to ship in people of brown color in order to mix the racial stock of the United States and therefore undermine the white supremacy of the United States and other European countries.
00:10:32.000It is not predominantly a political theory.
00:10:34.000What I mean by that is that the argument that bringing immigrants from different countries has an effect on the voting base That is a normal political argument that has been happening for literally centuries about how it impacts a country's culture when a lot of immigrants come in from different places.
00:10:48.000Or how it impacts the voting patterns in a particular country when you change the demographics of the country.
00:10:53.000That sort of stuff is normal immigration talk.
00:10:55.000The left, because they understand that's normal immigration talk, in which conservatives engage and so do liberals, they're now attempting to link that with the Great Replacement Theory promoted by the Buffalo New York mass shooter.
00:11:08.000Now, if the argument is, from the left, that that sort of talk amounts to Great Replacement Theory, that the moment you start talking about changing demographics, changing the politics of the country, if that's the argument that the left is making, that counts as Great Replacement Theory, then the chief advocates for the Great Replacement Theory, by this definition, were members of the left for about 25 years here.
00:11:26.000Because they were actively arguing on behalf of the Coalition of the Ascendant, according to Ronald Brownstein.
00:11:32.000They're actively arguing in favor of the quote-unquote Browning of America in order to change the demographic voting patterns in the United States.
00:11:40.000You can't say that the left gets to say that this is a good thing, and then if somebody says, wait, if it changes the politics in a way I don't like, maybe we should restrict immigration and it's a bad thing.
00:11:48.000It's not great when we do it, bad when the other guys do it.
00:11:52.000And again, it's not being pulled out of thin air.
00:11:55.000The response by conservatives to crack down on immigration because Democrats have been claiming that through immigration, they will in fact change how people vote in the United States.
00:12:06.000That is well within political boundaries.
00:12:08.000If it's within political boundaries for the left, it is within political boundaries for the right, and you don't get to conflate either of those with Great Replacement Theory.
00:12:14.000Or alternatively, if it's all Great Replacement Theory, then Democrats have been engaging in it for years.
00:12:19.000Put together this compendium of Democrats talking about the so-called Great Replacement Theory, if this is how you define it.
00:12:25.000It seems harder and harder to ignore that the echoes of replacement theory and other racially motivated views are increasingly coming out into the open.
00:12:35.000In a few years, we're going to be a majority brown country.
00:12:38.000White people will not be the majority in the country anymore.
00:12:40.000This will be the first generation ever in American history in which whites will be a minority of the generation at some point.
00:12:48.000As of 2007, Every year, babies being born in this country, whites now are the minority.
00:12:54.000In 2044, everyone is going to be a minority.
00:12:56.000As the demographics change, as white people become the minority in the country, which is coming.
00:13:15.000The white population is declining for the first time in history in America, while the number of multiracial Americans have more than doubled.
00:13:23.000So we live in a country where the demographics are changing, it's becoming less white.
00:14:32.000Okay, so you got the bookends there of Chuck Schumer talking about the Great Replacement Theory, and Joe Biden saying that if you talk about this stuff, then you're really, really bad, and then you have sandwiched in there Zerlina Maxwell, Joe Scarborough, Ali Velshi of MSNBC, Don Lemon, Stephen Colbert, Jorge Ramos, Julian Castro, who ran for president, Margaret Tallent of CNN, Anderson Cooper of CNN, Nancy Pelosi.
00:14:49.000That is a list of all the people who you just heard discussing.
00:14:53.000The notion that demographics are destiny.
00:14:55.000That was Scarborough saying over and over.
00:14:57.000OK, again, you can't have it both ways.
00:14:59.000If that argument amounts to great replacement theory, then you guys have been making it for literally decades and advocating it for decades.
00:15:05.000And so if people on the other side go, wait, it sounds very much like you would like to change the demographics of the country thus to achieve your political ends.
00:15:18.000That is them noticing that you are doing a thing.
00:15:21.000And that, again, all of this is very different from the Great Replacement Theory, which is about the destruction of the racial stock of a country on purely racial terms.
00:15:30.000And if you read the Buffalo Shooter's quasi-manifesto, if you read that thing, It's 180 pages about how the IQ of the country is going to go down, about how when you bring in people from different cultures, they race mix, and this is bad because the kids are somehow worse, genetically speaking.
00:15:54.000As I've said before, I don't think that demographics is destiny.
00:15:57.000And I think Hispanic voting patterns right now are demonstrating full-scale to Democrats that demographics are not destiny.
00:16:02.000I believe that people are individuals, and black people can vote Republican, and white people can vote Democrat, and Hispanics can vote Democrat or Republican, and everybody can vote how they want to vote.
00:16:11.000The real question when it comes to immigration is cultural assimilation, skill set, education level, are you going to get on welfare?
00:16:20.000I don't actually believe the demographics are destiny in the way that Joe Scarborough says or in the way that Pat Buchanan says on the other side.
00:16:28.000I just don't think that that's the case.
00:16:30.000However, to pretend that that argument is the same as the argument that's being made by the Great Replacement Theory white supremacist is really, really stupid and really, really dishonest.
00:16:38.000And it's particularly dishonest because, of course, the entire argument of the left here is that this shooter, who overtly in his manifesto rips on Fox News, Rips on me personally, by the way, twice.
00:16:51.000That somehow that this person is drawing inspiration from mainstream conservatism in some way when he actively dissociates from mainstream conservatism.
00:18:40.000To the media, it's all about Tucker Carlson or to everybody who's on the right.
00:18:43.000Now, it's worth noting that there have been mass shooters in the past who have cited as inspirations people on MSNBC.
00:18:51.000There's a mass shooter, I don't mention the names of mass shooters on this program, there's a mass shooter in Los Angeles who shot a bunch of cops and he ended up dying after setting a cabin on fire.
00:18:59.000This particular mass shooter, he cited to Rachel Maddow.
00:19:03.000The congressional softball shooter cited to a variety of left-wing sources, including Bernie Sanders.
00:19:20.000And this is why Joe Biden traveled to Buffalo, New York.
00:19:23.000Again, as I've said before, I think it is idiocy that presidents feel the necessity to travel to places of tragedy.
00:19:28.000I just don't think that that is the job of the president.
00:19:30.000I don't think the president is the comforter-in-chief.
00:19:32.000I think the president is a plumber, and he has very specific jobs to do.
00:19:35.000And the belief system that he is supposed to just descend to every place there is a politically Advantageous tragedy is ridiculous.
00:19:43.000Again, Joe Biden went to Buffalo because there is some sort of political angle for him.
00:19:47.000He didn't go to Waukesha because there was no political angle for him.
00:19:50.000So he goes to Buffalo and there he proceeds to speak about the soul of the nation.
00:19:53.000Now, the great lie that Joe Biden told during the 2020 election is that the reason he decided to run for president was because of Charlottesville, because he had to restore the soul of the nation after Charlottesville.
00:20:03.000Joe Biden has run for president 29 times before.
00:20:05.000Charlottesville had never happened during any of those times.
00:20:07.000Joe Biden has always been a politician ambitious to sit in the White House, even if sitting in the White House now means lying down on a daybed in the White House at 4 p.m., eating oatmeal and watching Matlock before falling asleep with a chocolate Ovaltine.
00:20:19.000Even if that's what it means, he's been desperate to do that for literally his entire career.
00:20:22.000So one of the lies of the campaign was, him, I'm here to restore the soul of Manga Shabba Dabba.
00:20:27.000He wasn't there to do any of that stuff, but he's going to try to revive that lie because whatever it was, it worked for him in 2020 running against Donald Trump.
00:20:35.000And so now he's going to ramp up the idea that there is a deep abiding white supremacist threat to the American way of life.
00:20:43.000In the same way that the left suggested that there was a deep abiding threat to democracy as a whole because of January 6th.
00:20:48.000Even though that was a couple of hundred rioters who went into the Capitol building, some who just wandered in, and then they were cleared out in pretty short order by the Capitol police.
00:20:56.000And then voting went on as normal and democracy was really never in serious systemic danger.
00:21:00.000Doesn't mean they didn't provide a danger to cops, didn't mean that what they were doing was safe.
00:21:03.000But the idea is maximize that idea because then Joe Biden is here to save her shampoo, your soul, a Moleo, but it was. So here's Joe Biden talking about how American democracy is in the greatest danger of his lifetime, which is weird since he lived through actual honest to God segregation and hung out with segregationist senators.
00:21:19.000Look, the American experiment in democracy is in a danger like it hasn't been in my lifetime.
00:21:59.000But the reason that he's doing this is not because they're a huge swath of Americans who believe in quote-unquote Great Replacement Theory.
00:22:04.000It's because he's attempting to conflate kind of mainstream political debates about immigration, even arguments that I don't agree with.
00:22:11.000He's trying to conflate that with Great Replacement Theory.
00:22:13.000And again, this is the pattern in the media.
00:22:15.000Philip Bump of the Washington Post said last week, nearly half of Republicans believed in the Great Replacement Theory.
00:22:19.000He said it to a Pew poll that found that about half of Republicans and about 20-some percent of Democrats believe, quote, there is a group of people in this country who are trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants who agree with their political views.
00:22:30.000Well, as we just played in a compendium, there are Democrats who are openly saying that sort of thing.
00:22:36.000Great Replacement Theory is about the racial replacement.
00:22:38.000It is not about the political changes in the country that are due to demographic change.
00:22:42.000Here's Joe Biden going after Great Replacement Theory.
00:22:46.000Through the media and politics, the Internet has radicalized, angry, alienated, lost and isolated individuals in the falsely believing that they will be replaced.
00:22:59.000That's the word replaced by the other.
00:23:18.000I call on all Americans to reject the lie.
00:23:21.000And I condemn those who spread the lie for power, political gain, and for profit.
00:23:30.000Okay, so what he means by this end is Republicans and Tucker Carlson.
00:23:34.000So more of Joe Biden saving the soul of the nation by blaming people for white supremacist terror attacks who aren't to blame for white supremacist terror attacks.
00:24:59.000I believe anybody who echoes the replacement is to blame, not for this particular crime, but it's for no purpose, no purpose except profit and or political benefit.
00:25:21.000Oh Oh, for profit and political benefit, they've been doing this.
00:25:27.000Which is strange, because Tucker Carlson has been a pretty successful commentator on Fox News for several years at this point.
00:25:36.000And if we're talking about racially polarizing people for political gain, there is a party that's been doing that for as long as I've been alive, by calling everyone they don't like a racist, and then cobbling together the Coalition of the Ascended.
00:25:46.000In the words of Ron Brownstein, in the words of Greg Sargent of the Washington Post-Circuit 2012, If we're going to talk about politically polarizing parties along the basis of race, it would be the intersectional coalition that declared America systemically racist in 2020 and declared police systemically racist in 2020 in order to win an election.
00:26:02.000That would be the party that is much more focused on politically polarizing around the issue of race.
00:26:07.000And Joe Biden continued along these lines, of course.
00:26:08.000He says, we have to talk about who's responsible for generating hate.
00:26:12.000Well, I mean, we do, but you don't want to have that conversation because it's pretty obvious who's generating most of the racial hate in the country right now.
00:26:18.000I probably shouldn't be saying this now, but I'm going to say it anyway.
00:26:22.000We have to not only talk about how we're going to end the hate, but who's responsible for generating it.
00:26:27.000You have folks on television stations talking about the replacement theory.
00:26:33.000Scaring the living hell out of people who don't have a whole lot of emotional stability.
00:26:39.000Taking advantage of, on the internet and other means, by talking about how we're going to be overtaken.
00:27:03.000In fact, it is important that we ignore who the shooter's actual sources were, because we have a broader point to make, which is that the right is really, really bad.
00:27:10.000You have Corrine Jean-Pierre, who is the incompetent new White House press secretary, and she is asked specifically, okay, if you're just going to spit it out, spit it out.
00:27:17.000If you're just going to blame Fox News and Tucker, just do it.
00:27:19.000She's like, no, people know who they are.
00:27:22.000The people who spread this filth know who they are, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
00:27:30.000But I'm not going to give them or their noxious ideas they're pushing the attention that they desperately want.
00:27:39.000So the president has already called out this poisonous, false, hateful ideology, including on Saturday and Sunday, saying any act of domestic terrorism, including an act perpetrated in the name of a A repugnant white nationalist ideology is antithetical to everything we stand for in America.
00:27:59.000This sort of language, by the way, has never been applied to the black Hebrew Israelites who have now performed a series of terrorist attacks across the country, nor has it been linked with black supremacists who mow down people in Waukesha.
00:28:10.000You think one of the reasons maybe there's political polarization around the issue of race is because only one type of racism is tied into mainstream politics by a media that is desperate to do so for political purposes.
00:28:21.000There's an entire other side of It shouldn't be a partisan issue.
00:28:24.000and actual violence on the basis of race and you just ignore it? You pretend that it doesn't exist because it doesn't tie into deeper narratives about what America supposedly is. Now you have Hakeem Jeffries, who's the heir apparent to Nancy Pelosi over in the Democratic Party, and he says that the GOP is essentially responsible for violence. The GOP has to change course or they're responsible for bloodshed. It shouldn't be a partisan issue. It's not a Democratic issue or Republican issue dealing with the crisis of violent white supremacy.
00:28:55.000And I'm hopeful that Elise Stefanik and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will see the error of their ways to date and change course immediately.
00:29:07.000Because if they don't, blood will continue to be shed.
00:29:11.000Blaming Elise Stefanik for this is just a joke.
00:30:11.000Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous, replacement theory.
00:30:15.000Or, theoretically, when you accuse somebody of being a white supremacist, you should probably go on their program and say to their face that they are a white supremacist so they can, you know, defend themselves.
00:30:23.000Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, which is apparently very much against anti-Semitism, they have an entire caucus that is now calling Israel's establishment a disaster, which is the anti-Semitic name used for the establishment of the state of Israel by radical Islamists.
00:30:40.000Nakba means catastrophe in Arabic, or disaster in Arabic.
00:30:44.000So you now have a resolution proposed by Representative Rashida Tlaib, who's an open anti-Semite from Michigan.
00:30:51.000Her co-sponsors include the execrable Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, of course, naturally, Cori Bush, who's awful, Jamal Bowman, who's terrible, Betty McCollum, and Mary Newman.
00:31:02.000Along with Tlaib, the first four co-sponsors are members of the squad, Ayanna Pressley at least had the brains not to co-sign this thing.
00:31:10.000The so-called Nakba resolution is designed to condemn the catastrophe of Israel's establishment.
00:31:17.000The bill calls to establish an official means for the United States to recognize and remember the Nakba, the establishment of the state of Israel.
00:31:24.000Tlaib says the Nakba is well documented and continues to play out today.
00:31:27.000We must acknowledge that the humanity of Palestinians is being denied when folks refuse to acknowledge the war crimes and human rights violations in apartheid Israel.
00:31:35.000So the Democratic Party openly has a wing that condemns the establishment of the State of Israel, which is the height of anti-Semitism.
00:31:41.000Because once Israel is established, you don't have an argument about whether Israel should be established, should not be established.
00:31:45.000There were arguments in Zionist and anti-Zionist circles for decades about this.
00:31:49.000Once Israel established as the homeland of Jews, and once it is the chief population center of Jews, the disestablishment of the State of Israel would involve the destruction of that state and the murder of millions of Jews, which is apparently what Rashida Tlaib is totally fine with.
00:32:04.000Now the reality, historically speaking, according to the document, they say that 750,000 Palestinian refugees were created by the 1948 war.
00:32:13.000And that Israel had conquered an additional 23% of Palestine beyond areas allocated to the Jewish state under the partition plan.
00:32:19.000The reality is that if you look at Jewish history or Palestinian history or any of it, what you realize is that the Jews continued over and over and over to accept every partition plan presented to them.
00:32:28.000The Arabs rejected every single partition plan presented to them.
00:32:32.000In 1947, they began to launch Fedayeen attacks against Jewish kibbutzim, Jewish centers in British Mandate Palestine.
00:32:42.000By 1948, when Israel declared its independence, Israel openly begged Arabs to stay.
00:32:46.000It's in the Israeli Declaration of Independence.
00:32:49.000The Arabs came in, they told everybody to get out of the way.
00:32:51.000They refused to accept the establishment of the State of Israel at all, or any UN-approved partition plan.
00:32:56.000They then attacked en masse in Israel.
00:33:00.000That is the origin of the Palestinian refugee problem today.
00:33:03.000The fact that they're Palestinian quote-unquote refugees, and we are now close to 80 years out from the establishment of the state of Israel, is a demonstration that the Arab world decided to use these refugees as pawns.
00:33:28.000The reason that the Palestinian refugee issue exists today is because the Arab states have always refused to accept any partition plan and kept all of these people and their descendants, their grandchildren, now great-grandchildren, as essentially political pawns in refugee camps for generations to use as a political tool against the Jews.
00:33:45.000And this is what Rashida Tlaib and the squad want to call the Nakba.
00:33:49.000The real disaster is the establishment of the State of Israel.
00:33:51.000Yeah, I trust the Democratic Party when it comes to fighting anti-Semitism.
00:33:55.000When it comes to fighting white supremacy, I really, I trust these people so, so much.
00:33:59.000I also trust the media in fighting this sort of stuff.
00:34:02.000I trust them because they obviously are so well calibrated, not unhinged in any way.
00:34:09.000So, for example, Stephen Colbert doing an amazing job out there.
00:34:14.000Half of Republicans agree with the shooter, which is an amazing statement from, you know, a mainstream late night comic.
00:34:22.000Who, by the way, is being outdrawn by Greg Gutfeld.
00:34:24.000When you inherit a legacy show, like a 50-year legacy show, and you get outdrawn by Greg Gutfeld on a cable channel, it demonstrates just how bad you are at your job.
00:34:32.000Replacement theory is a central theme on Tucker's show.
00:34:36.000Their investigation found that his producer sometimes scoured his show's raw material from the same dark corners of the internet that the Buffalo suspect did.
00:34:44.000Now, although it sounds crazy, and I can't believe I'm saying this, recent polls show that 50% of Republicans agree with this garbage.
00:34:56.000As we've discussed, that Philip Bump poll conflates basic concerns about immigration and political change with Great Replacement Theory, which, of course, is the thing that the Democrats keep pushing over and over.
00:35:06.000You have MSNBC's Katie Tour, a reporter, doing the same thing, suggesting that, yeah, well, you know, what the Republicans are saying isn't quite white supremacy, but it's just a tamer version, and they kind of like it.
00:35:15.000And then on the issue of extremism and white nationalism, which is not only on the rise in the far dark corners on the internet, but the rhetoric in a tamer version, an attenuated version I say, is now pretty mainstream in the Republican Party.
00:35:34.000MSNBC's Chuck Todd, singing from the same hymnal, he says that, you know, Republicans are quote-unquote appeasing white supremacy.
00:35:41.000What would you call it when Democrats openly appease anti-Semitism and appear on the covers of magazines with Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar?
00:35:48.000Who are the anti-Semites who are being appeased inside the Republican caucus?
00:35:52.000Is Paul Gosar in good order with fellow Republicans right now?
00:35:56.000Didn't Steve King lose his job based on comments that he made about white supremacy and race and the use of language?
00:36:04.000What exactly are you talking about here?
00:36:06.000Here is MSNBC's Chuck Todd doing the work of the Democratic Party.
00:36:10.000Let's talk about one of the elephants in the room, and that is the appeasement of this white supremacy stuff.
00:36:15.000And this, look, it does appear there are a lot of Republicans who don't want to denounce it because they're afraid of turning off the base.
00:36:30.000It's a huge virus in the GOP that they're appeasing shooters like this guy?
00:36:35.000Really, is that a huge virus in the GOP?
00:36:37.000You know, the natural outgrowth of all of this is going to be the left calling for full-scale censorship or jailing of people that they don't like.
00:36:43.000Because after all, if you can conflate everybody with shooters and shooters are dangerous to other people, then everybody is dangerous to other people.
00:36:48.000Which is precisely what one MSNBC guest literally said on air yesterday, is that we should fine people who disagree with us and we should put them in jail.
00:36:58.000We gotta watch out because the Republicans have become the purveyors of misinformation.
00:37:04.000And when our two-party system is broken like that, democracy is seriously in trouble.
00:37:12.000It's time to actually start doing things and maybe taking some names and putting people in jail.
00:37:18.000That is Carl Cameron, formerly of Fox News, appearing now on MSNBC.
00:37:23.000Meanwhile, you have to love The Democratic Party talking about racial polarization and trotting out Al Sharpton, who was involved in not one but two riots, two race riots in New York City, and is the great race baiter of the last 60 years in the United States.
00:37:37.000On MSNBC, talking about how we need a nationalized strategy to fight racial polarization.
00:37:48.000We need to set a national strategy on how we deal with hate and how we hold those accountable that in any way advances toward what led to this, what happened in Buffalo.
00:38:00.000This young man was radicalized by organized efforts that used communications.
00:38:33.000You don't know when the next alien invasion is going to be and they start firing lasers from the sky.

00:41:36.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:41:39.000So the entire media now pushing the idea that all of America is responsible for an act of tremendous racial evil.
00:41:52.000Entire piece, reported piece, from the Washington Post titled, That's not the devil, that's America.
00:41:57.000Black residents of Buffalo's Eastside see mass shootings as an exclamation point on racism they face every day.
00:42:08.000The reporter on this is someone named Sylvia Foster-Frau.
00:42:11.000Quote, less than 24 hours after a gunman stormed the grocery store where Tony Marshall worked for years killing 10, Marshall was back at the tops.
00:42:18.000He flipped hot dogs on a grill positioned just outside the caution tape perimeter, handing them out to mourners and passersby.
00:42:24.000As he worked, he wore a red shirt with a Topps-friendly Markets logo.
00:42:27.000It's a community store, said Marshall.
00:42:31.000That was a sentiment shared by many in this mostly black section of the city.
00:42:34.000For residents, the Topps was more than just a source of food and medicine.
00:42:37.000In a neighborhood with few stores or public spaces, the grocery store was a site for community events and giveaways, a hangout spot, a meeting place.
00:42:44.000It was a place where you could meet up with a friend, a relative, a girlfriend, said Jerome Bridges and other Topps employees who survived the attack by barricading himself and several others in the conference room.
00:42:53.000A place to hang out and shop and have a good conversation while you're doing it.
00:42:56.000Many Eastside residents said they would sometimes spend their leisure hours in the Tops parking lot, having long conversations with folks who seemed like complete strangers.
00:43:03.000Strangers, that is, until they found out they live a block apart from each other.
00:43:06.000That sense of community was necessary, Marshall said, as a form of protection in a city where many black people have faced a lifetime of discrimination and abuse.
00:43:13.000And then we get into talk about how there's a lot of black poverty in the city of Buffalo.
00:43:18.000And how people who are white and people who are black tend to live in different neighborhoods in the city of Buffalo.
00:43:23.000In the first few days after the shooting, many residents here saw the horrific act of racial violence as one of many injustices threaded through their lives and sometimes across generations.
00:43:32.000Okay, so as a member of a religious community that is the most targeted by hate crimes in the United States on a per capita basis, the Jewish community, let me just say, America is not even remotely an anti-Semitic country.
00:43:41.000America is the most philo-Semitic country in the history of the world.
00:43:44.000And the fact that there are crazy people who commit anti-Semitic acts, and I've been the target of some of them, that those people exist is not indicative of the idea that all of America is anti-Semitic or that America's superstructure is anti-Semitic.
00:43:56.000So the attempt to, again, conflate, it's all about conflation, the attempt to conflate Bad personal experiences with racists, with a person who shoots people and murders them is not quite the same thing.
00:44:06.000Or the fact that there is outsized poverty in particular communities with, oh, a guy went into a supermarket and shot a bunch of innocent people.
00:44:14.000But this is the stuff the media is pushing.
00:44:16.000And they're also pushing the idea that any policy I disagree with is an outgrowth of white supremacy.
00:44:20.000So, in what is the most delusional column of the day, there's a piece by Brian Broome in the Washington Post called, Black People Want the Hate to Stop, but it is only getting worse.
00:44:29.000And here's what he says, I keep telling my black friends, it's just going to get worse, which seems like a great message there, Brian.
00:44:34.000I keep telling them some white men had a steady diet of nonsense and statistics about the state of whiteness in the United States will only grow more convinced that people of color are the enemy, which means the sort of violence we saw over the weekend at a supermarket in Buffalo will get worse.
00:44:47.000The alleged shooter is a man who is reported to have been concerned about immigration and decreasing white birth rates.
00:44:51.000It's the same concern Tucker Carlson shares with his Fox News audience almost every night.
00:45:05.000Is that why he had the cops called on him for suicidal ideation like last year?
00:45:10.000When we say he's mentally ill, we say that because he's mentally ill.
00:45:14.000And his actual mental health history demonstrates that this is a person who suffered from some form of mental illness.
00:45:20.000That is not because we're using mental illness as a slur here.
00:45:23.000That's because that is the actual description of the suspect in this particular case.
00:45:27.000Also, the baseline notion that he's simply hateful in the way that right-wing politics... Okay, there are some 74, 75 million people who voted for Donald Trump in this last election.
00:45:38.000The idea from the left is that all of those people agree with the shooter.
00:45:40.000Question, why isn't there a massive race war in the country right now?
00:45:43.000Why is this an isolated event, statistically speaking?
00:45:47.000Why aren't we seeing tons of these events?
00:45:50.000It's a statistically isolated event when you see anti-Semites shoot up synagogues, right?
00:45:55.000These are rare events statistically speaking.
00:45:59.000So, why are we pretending that isolated incidents like this one, and they are isolated statistically speaking, doesn't mean they're not evil, they are evil, doesn't mean there aren't more of them than there should be, there should be zero.
00:46:09.000But statistically, these are extraordinarily rare events in a country of 335 million people.
00:46:15.000And yet we are now being told that the entire right-wing reflects this point of view, which does sort of beg the question as to why there hasn't been a full-blown race war, if that's the case.
00:46:23.000But, says this columnist, it's easy to draw a straight line between the hateful actions of white supremacists and popular right-wing conservatives.
00:46:29.000It seems that neither group can imagine a world where all people are equal.
00:46:32.000Well, actually, I can imagine a world where all people are treated as individuals.
00:46:35.000It's the left that treats people as members of racial groups predominantly.
00:46:39.000In their minds, one group must be on top.
00:46:48.000Intersectionality, which is the theory that basically all politics is power, that all systems of law are guises for pure power, and that therefore the way to cure that is to reverse the systems of power by putting intersectional groups that have historically been discriminated against on top of the power hierarchy.
00:47:03.000It turns out that is just the flip side of a lot of the stuff that white supremacists say.
00:47:08.000The wokes and the white supremacists both believe in racial essentialism, both believe that power undergirds systems of politics.
00:47:13.000They just have different views, flip side views, of who should be in control of all of that.
00:47:18.000But according to this columnist, it's mainstream conservatism.
00:47:21.000And here's where it gets particularly crazy.
00:47:23.000you quote, the same sort of thinking about race and birth rates now dominates the conservative Supreme Court. The leaked draft opinion isn't about protecting babies. It's about protecting whiteness, specifically white babies. Whenever we talk about white, as I always say, the H comes before the W, specifically white babies. Many others have pointed out that if Republicans really cared about babies and children, it helped provide help for poor infants, child care, health care, better funding for schools and the like. But their concern is not about babies and and children in general, only certain babies.
00:47:52.000The Supreme Court draft decision is about protecting what conservatives believe is a diminishing demographic and their most valuable resource, white people.
00:48:10.000But it doesn't matter that it's wrong.
00:48:11.000It doesn't matter that it's a crazy racist conspiracy theory that Justice Alito is writing to overrule Roe v. Wade to preserve white birth rates, which Roe v. Wade's overruling would not do.
00:48:22.000It would actually increase the number of black babies born predominantly in major cities like New York, where more black babies are aborted every year than are born every year in the city of New York.
00:48:31.000But according to this columnist, quote, some will accuse me here of indulging in conspiracy theories or believing the worst in people.
00:48:36.000But as a black American living in a racist society, I don't find it difficult to believe in the worst in people.
00:48:41.000One tries not to, but we see evidence of it every day in our lived experience.
00:48:45.000Ah, there's the phrase, lived experience.
00:48:47.000We are just going to suggest that our lived experience means that we can label all of the people who oppose us racist and all the policies we don't like, outgrowths of white supremacy.
00:48:56.000A slow clap for the left-wing media and the Democrats polarizing the country and making it a worse place by labeling half the country in league with white supremacists who shoot black people at supermarkets.

00:49:43.000The Ben Shapiro Show is a Daily Wire production.
00:49:48.000Hey there, this is John Bickley, Daily Wire editor-in-chief and co-host of Morning Wire.
00:49:53.000On today's episode, Democrats push controversial new domestic terrorism laws following the Buffalo mass shooting, the House Intelligence Committee holds a public hearing on UFOs, and a key trial stemming from the Durham investigation begins.
