The Ben Shapiro Show - Kamala Goes BALLZ TO THE WALZ

00:00:00.000 Well, folks, it is day 18 of Kamala Harris's manufactured candidacy coming from absolutely nowhere.

00:00:05.000 But now she's filled with joy.

00:00:07.000 She has a VP candidate.

00:00:08.000 And of course, you know what this means.

00:00:10.000 It means it's time for us to update our daily calendar.

00:00:13.000 It is day 18 of Kamala Harris being asked zero questions by a compliant media that are deeply determined

00:00:19.000 to make her president of the United States.

00:00:21.000 Here's the thing, you need the updates every single moment of every day.

00:00:42.000 So yesterday was the big day.

00:00:44.000 Kamala Harris decided not to pick the Jew.

00:00:46.000 That was the big story that was coming out of the VP nomination process from Kamala Harris.

00:00:53.000 Again, there's an attempt to make Kamala Harris a wildly attractive and joyous candidate. 1.00

00:00:57.000 That was the key word of the day.

00:00:59.000 So, so far we've had a few key words from the Kamala Harris campaign which are then repeated ad nauseum by the praetorian guard in the media.

00:01:06.000 First we had weird.

00:01:07.000 Weird was to be applied to Donald Trump and J.D.

00:01:09.000 Not to Kamala Harris appearing with drag queens or speaking complete word coleslaw or randomly dancing with school children.

00:01:09.000 Vance.

00:01:17.000 No, Kamala Harris was not weird.

00:01:19.000 J.D.

00:01:19.000 Vance, Donald Trump, they were weird.

00:01:21.000 So we had two and a half weeks of weird.

00:01:23.000 Complete with a bunch of lies about J.D.

00:01:25.000 Vance and the sick and gross lies that if you even take the time to explain why they're lies, it backfires on you.

00:01:31.000 So there was an online meme, which we'll get to in a little while on this show.

00:01:34.000 It was repeated by that supposedly nice Midwesterner, Tim Walz.

00:01:38.000 It was this dumb meme on the Twitters that suggested that J.D. 0.99

00:01:42.000 Vance had once had sex with a couch, right? 1.00

00:01:44.000 Even mentioning it is gross and stupid. 1.00

00:01:47.000 And that's the whole point of putting out something gross and stupid like that is even debunking it becomes gross and stupid. 1.00

00:01:52.000 Okay, but the idea there was to spin that into a, the Republicans are weird narrative. 1.00

00:01:57.000 And so for two and a half weeks, we had Republicans are weird.

00:01:58.000 Well, now we have a new campaign word, a buzzword, joy.

00:02:03.000 This is the campaign of joy, don't you see?

00:02:05.000 See Donald Trump, JD Vance, they're just too dark.

00:02:09.000 They're just too dark because they look at America and what they see right now is America is in rough waters.

00:02:13.000 They see an economy that is on the brink.

00:02:15.000 They see a foreign policy that is completely disastrous in full-scale meltdown.

00:02:21.000 That's what they see.

00:02:22.000 And that's dark.

00:02:22.000 And that's terrible.

00:02:23.000 But you know what Kamala Harris really represents?

00:02:27.000 She represents joy.

00:02:28.000 She can't help but dance.

00:02:30.000 She can't help but bubble over with enthusiasm for electric school buses and Venn diagrams.

00:02:36.000 And Tim Walsh too.

00:02:37.000 He too is filled with joy.

00:02:39.000 So much joy.

00:02:41.000 This is the angle.

00:02:43.000 David Plouffe.

00:02:44.000 Who's brought on from the Obama campaign.

00:02:47.000 He is now working for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and they are now attempting to redo the 2008 Barack Obama campaign, which is smart.

00:02:55.000 And one of my big critiques of the Kamala Harris campaign is that it is a 2012 campaign.

00:02:59.000 It is doubling and tripling and quadrupling down on the base.

00:03:03.000 And that's what Barack Obama did in 2012, when in reality Democrats have been most successful when they have run toward the middle and they have attempted to create some sort of feeling of unity. 0.80

00:03:13.000 Barack Obama in 2008 doing the, no red states, no blue states, just the United States, all that crap.

00:03:20.000 Well, now David Plouffe is suggesting that this is what Kamala Harris should pursue.

00:03:24.000 So here is David Plouffe suggesting just that.

00:03:28.000 The Trump dance ticket is just incredibly dark, negative about the country, kind of captured in the Fox bubble where you blame everybody for everything.

00:03:38.000 And I think that's a distinction in my career in politics, which is longer than I'd like.

00:03:43.000 Joy alone won't win you, but it's a great combination with the right ideas and the right message.

00:03:49.000 When you're out there, you like being with people.

00:03:51.000 You believe in this country.

00:03:53.000 You know that we've got challenges, but you know we also have opportunities.

00:03:57.000 And to be upbeat about that and to believe in this country, I think is really, really important.

00:04:03.000 Now, oh, that's a lie.

00:04:05.000 Democrats are not upbeat about the country.

00:04:06.000 They believe that America is systemically racist, deeply inequitable, and quite evil from its root.

00:04:11.000 That is something that both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have said in the past.

00:04:15.000 They're not A party of deep feeling for the magic of the U.S.

00:04:21.000 Constitution or for the American people who, they malign half of them as outright racists, but they're going to paper over this unbelievably thin campaign with this pastiche of joy and happiness.

00:04:35.000 So you can feel it.

00:04:36.000 It really feels like, I don't know.

00:04:39.000 I have very sensitive taste buds and I can taste fake sugar.

00:04:42.000 I can taste it.

00:04:44.000 Saccharin.

00:04:46.000 I can't have like NutraSweet.

00:04:48.000 I can taste it.

00:04:49.000 It tastes bitter to me.

00:04:50.000 And so maybe that just applies to my political analysis as well.

00:04:53.000 When I see the fake sugar that is being ladled all over the Kamala Harris campaign, it just makes me want to vomit a little bit.

00:05:00.000 Well folks, the enthusiasm for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is so fake.

00:05:04.000 But I'll tell you what is not fake.

00:05:05.000 The erosion of your freedom.

00:05:06.000 It's not just happening in Washington, it's happening right on your smartphone.

00:05:09.000 Big tech companies track every move you make.

00:05:11.000 Every search, every click, every video you watch.

00:05:13.000 It's all being compiled into a neat little profile they can sell to the highest bidder.

00:05:16.000 To fight back against big tech's control of the internet, I use ExpressVPN.

00:05:20.000 When you use the ExpressVPN app on your computer or phone, the software hides your IP address from third parties.

00:05:24.000 That makes your activity more difficult for companies to trace and sell to advertisers.

00:05:27.000 It also helps keep your online presence more anonymous.

00:05:29.000 What's more, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network data to protect you from eavesdroppers and cyber criminals.

00:05:35.000 By using ExpressVPN, you're not just protecting yourself, you're taking a stand against big tech overreach.

00:05:39.000 You're saying, No, it's my data, not yours to sell.

00:05:42.000 I've been using ExpressVPN for years.

00:05:43.000 I can tell you, it is fast, it's easy to use, it gives me peace of mind.

00:05:45.000 There's a reason it is rated number one by CNET, Radar, WiredTechRadar, and countless others.

00:05:50.000 So, stop allowing big tech to revoke your right to free speech.

00:05:53.000 Why not revoke their right to your data instead?

00:05:55.000 Secure your internet with the same VPN I use for online protection.

00:06:07.000 So here is Kamala Harris calling up Tim Walz to notify him that he was going to be the running mate. 0.99

00:06:12.000 It's all pre-scripted.

00:06:13.000 It's all fake enthusiasm.

00:06:15.000 The smiles are all pasted on Joker style as though she's fallen into a bin of toxic waste that has left her with some sort of facial contortion.

00:06:23.000 And yet we're supposed to pretend this is joy.

00:06:25.000 So what Joy looks like is horrifying policy combined with media coverage that makes it

00:06:31.000 seem as though you have all sorts of wondrous excitement surrounding you.

00:06:42.000 It's Kamala Harris.

00:06:43.000 Good morning, Governor.

00:06:44.000 Good morning, Madam Vice President.

00:06:47.000 Listen, I want you to do this for me.

00:06:50.000 Let's do this together.

00:06:52.000 You can be my running mate and let's get this thing on the road.

00:06:55.000 I would be honored, Madam Vice President.

00:06:59.000 The joy that you're bringing back to the country, the enthusiasm that's out there, it would be a privilege to take this with you across the country.

00:07:06.000 Well, let me tell you, I have just the utmost respect for you.

00:07:09.000 I have really enjoyed our work together.

00:07:12.000 You understand our country.

00:07:14.000 You have dedicated yourself to our country in so many different ways.

00:07:19.000 She's shaking her head the whole time.

00:07:20.000 And we're going to do this.

00:07:20.000 There's the tell.

00:07:21.000 We're going to win.

00:07:23.000 And we're going to unify our country and remind everyone that we are fighting for the future for everyone.

00:07:29.000 So let's get out there and get this done.

00:07:30.000 It's such a pavelon.

00:07:31.000 Let's do it.

00:07:32.000 Do the work in front of us.

00:07:33.000 Let's win this thing.

00:07:34.000 That's right.

00:07:35.000 I'll see you soon.

00:07:35.000 All right, buddy.

00:07:36.000 Take care.

00:07:37.000 Thank you.

00:07:38.000 Okay.

00:07:39.000 God, it's such bumper sticker pablum, and if you fall for it, man, you deserve what you get. 0.99

00:07:43.000 By the way, their graphic design sucks. 0.98

00:07:45.000 I gotta say, the Harris-Walls campaign is really bad. 0.96

00:07:48.000 They squished Tim Walz's name down.

00:07:50.000 Looks like Kamala Harris is coming in from the top and just squishing Tim Walz down graphically. 1.00

00:07:54.000 Bad graphic design over there.

00:07:56.000 But this very brat campaign is not just about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

00:08:01.000 It is all about the spouses as well.

00:08:03.000 So Doug Emhoff called up Gwen Walz, who we'll meet in just a moment, And honestly, it's hard to look at Doug Emhoff now, considering that that dude has had some experiences with nannies.

00:08:17.000 Makes that weird kiss with Jill Biden seem a little bit weirder.

00:08:20.000 Here he was calling up Gwen Walls, and you just hope that Tim is nowhere near shot.

00:08:27.000 Hello?

00:08:28.000 Gwen?

00:08:30.000 Yes?

00:08:30.000 It's Doug Emhoff.

00:08:31.000 How are you?

00:08:34.000 So much joy.

00:08:35.000 Right?

00:08:36.000 Holy smokes.

00:08:37.000 Ow. 0.99

00:08:38.000 Thank you for taking my call.

00:08:39.000 It's so considerate.

00:08:40.000 So, Gwen, I remember getting this call four years ago.

00:08:41.000 It is so considerate.

00:08:42.000 And I actually know what you're going through right now, but the good news is I've already

00:08:43.000 been through it.

00:08:44.000 So, I'm going to give you a call.

00:08:45.000 I'm going to give you a call.

00:08:53.000 So just like Dr. Biden was there for me, who had been through it, I've been through it, I'm going to be there for you.

00:09:00.000 We're going to do this together, and Paula and Tim are going to do this together, and we are going to win this election together.

00:09:07.000 And I cannot wait to see you in Philadelphia in a little bit.

00:09:12.000 Well, we are so excited, and thrilled, and honored, and we are just, we are ready for this.

00:09:20.000 And we will do everything, you know, that we can, and I'm so anxious to meet you and see you both.

00:09:28.000 So many smiles, so much joy, so much NutraSweet.

00:09:31.000 Oh my god.

00:09:32.000 I can't get, ugh, NutraSweet.

00:09:37.000 Oh, the fake sugar.

00:09:38.000 Oh, just pour it all over it. 0.98

00:09:40.000 And this is what they have to do, because the real reason, of course, that Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz is because he ain't a Jew. 0.64

00:09:46.000 That's the actual reason.

00:09:47.000 If Josh Shapiro's name were Josh Gentile, he certainly would have been picked.

00:09:51.000 Everyone knows this.

00:09:52.000 Everyone knows this.

00:09:54.000 Now, what the media are trying to suggest, of course, is that she picked him for all sorts of great reasons, like he's from a swing state.

00:09:59.000 Well, or maybe it's that he's so modern.

00:10:02.000 Well, or maybe it's that he's just so winning and charismatic.

00:10:07.000 It's that he wasn't a Jew. 0.98

00:10:09.000 That's the reason because he had a popular swing state governor from Pennsylvania and she didn't select him because she was afraid it would piss off the part of her base that really, really does not like Jews very much.

00:10:18.000 But Politico is doing the spin for her because this is their job.

00:10:21.000 Again, this is what makes the Trump-Vance task so difficult is that the entire media are just a press outlet for the Harris-Walls campaign.

00:10:29.000 I mean, clearly, that is what this is.

00:10:30.000 Politico ran a piece, quote, Wow, they just sat down for a one-on-one interview on Sunday and they just connected.

00:10:34.000 We'll get to that in a moment.

00:10:35.000 His biography and record of winning tough races resonated with her.

00:10:38.000 And most of all, she just really liked him.

00:10:41.000 Wow, they just sat down for a one-on-one interview on Sunday and they just connected.

00:10:45.000 It's like speed dating.

00:10:47.000 Harris appreciated Wallace's two terms as governor because he had accomplishments in

00:10:50.000 Minnesota that Harris wants to replicate in her presidency.

00:10:53.000 And she loved his biography, a former high school teacher, former coach, and veteran who flipped a Republican-leaning district in 2006.

00:10:59.000 And she thinks that that is going to do amazing in the Midwest, as opposed to, you know, the 62% popular governor of a giant swing state that she needs to win.

00:11:09.000 What's the real reason?

00:11:10.000 The real reason, of course, is really twofold.

00:11:12.000 One is, she was afraid if she picked Josh Shapiro, he's a bigger talent than she is, and he would outshine her.

00:11:16.000 So according to Politico, his style was seen by at least some in Harris' world as showboating.

00:11:20.000 One senior Democrat in touch with Harris' team called it counterproductive.

00:11:24.000 And there was a sense within Shapiro's team that unlike Wallace, his interview with Harris did not go as well as it could have.

00:11:28.000 There was a not great feeling coming out of it.

00:11:33.000 Again, we'll get to all of the latent Real reasons why this happened.

00:11:39.000 But first, the media spin.

00:11:40.000 So George Stephanopoulos, he's an all-American man from middle America who just happens to love Karl Marx.

00:11:45.000 That's it.

00:11:46.000 He's Marxist Don Rickles over here, which is kind of what he looks like, by the way.

00:11:51.000 Waltz appears to fit the all-American definition of a man from middle America.

00:11:56.000 High school teacher, football coach, member of the Army National Guard before becoming a member of Congress and now governor.

00:12:04.000 Tim Walz has this idea that he's like an all-American moderate.

00:12:08.000 Nope!

00:12:09.000 Not even remotely close.

00:12:10.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, he increased taxes.

00:12:13.000 Though Minnesota already has the fifth highest top income tax rate among the states.

00:12:17.000 He added a 1% surtax on net investment income above a million dollars.

00:12:21.000 Also, Minnesota still levies a death tax up to 16% on top of the federal 40% rate.

00:12:27.000 He attempted to make an estimated 81,000 illegal immigrants in the state eligible for driver's licenses, along with health insurance.

00:12:34.000 He funded the North Star Promise program, which provides free college for students with a family income under 80 grand, including illegal immigrants. 0.95

00:12:42.000 He created a new 0.88% payroll tax that pays for 20 weeks a year of paid family and medical leave.

00:12:50.000 He is mandating 80% carbon-free electricity by 2030, ramping up to 100% by 2040.

00:12:57.000 He passed one of the nation's most permissive abortion statutes.

00:13:00.000 There's no limit, and there's no age consideration for minors.

00:13:03.000 You don't have to get parental permission.

00:13:05.000 He declared Minnesota to be a refugee state.

00:13:08.000 And of course, he established automatic voter registration and let Minnesotans sign up for a permanent absentee ballot option.

00:13:15.000 Don't worry, he is a moderate Midwesterner, according to George Stephanopoulos.

00:13:19.000 By the way, his governance in Minnesota, that governance?

00:13:21.000 Like Kamala Harris so deeply loves.

00:13:23.000 It's been going so amazing that everyone is fleeing Minnesota as fast as their feet can take them.

00:13:27.000 Well, folks, people in the media keep telling you that Tim Walz is a total moderate, which is why we should probably replace the people in the media.

00:13:33.000 They do a terrible job.

00:14:35.000 Here is a chart.

00:14:37.000 of Minnesota's population loss over the course of the last several years.

00:14:42.000 You can see in 2018 they have some net population gain, and then some slight population gain in 2019, and then it just falls directly off the table.

00:14:50.000 Directly off the table.

00:14:52.000 That is the Tim Walz governorship.

00:14:53.000 It turns out when you allow your cities to be set on fire, when you raise all of your taxes, when you jack up the regulations, when you make your state an unsafe haven for actual parents, people tend to leave.

00:15:04.000 People don't want to be there anymore.

00:15:06.000 But that's exactly the kind of governance that Kamala Harris was looking for. 1.00

00:15:10.000 Supposedly.

00:15:11.000 Supposedly it was all about the governance.

00:15:13.000 Or maybe it was about that personal record because there's nothing like a person who had, you know, a drunken driving arrest in 1995 where he tried to say that he was deaf in order to avoid the arrest.

00:15:24.000 That bespeaks true honesty in a human being.

00:15:28.000 On the night of September 23, 1995, 31-year-old Tim Walls was pulled over by a Nebraska State Trooper for driving a Silver Maz in 96 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone.

00:15:37.000 The officer smelled alcohol.

00:15:38.000 After Walls failed the field sobriety test and preliminary breath test, he was arrested and initially charged with speeding and driving while intoxicated.

00:15:46.000 Eventually, he agreed to resolve the issue by pleading to reduce the charge of reckless driving and misdemeanor, paying a $200 fine.

00:15:51.000 We will also point out here that he tried to claim that he did not understand what the officer was saying to him because he was partially deaf, supposedly, and that he had balance issues.

00:16:03.000 A deeply honest person.

00:16:05.000 That deep honesty extends to his military service.

00:16:08.000 So Tim Walz has made his military service in the National Guard a chief point in his resume.

00:16:12.000 In fact, he has used it as a rationale for his gun ban attempt.

00:16:16.000 Here is Tim Walz trying to use his National Guard resume to talk about what kind of guns he wants to see banned.

00:16:24.000 Hope woke up like many of you did five weeks ago and said, Dad, you're the only person I know who's in elected office.

00:16:29.000 You need to stop what's happening with this. 0.99

00:16:30.000 I'll take my kick in the butt for the NRA. 0.99

00:16:32.000 I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt. 0.99

00:16:35.000 And I gave the money back.

00:16:36.000 And I'll tell you what I have been doing.

00:16:37.000 I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment.

00:16:40.000 But we can do background checks.

00:16:41.000 We can do CDC research.

00:16:43.000 We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states.

00:16:46.000 And we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons were at.

00:16:52.000 Now, I point out the very last part of that.

00:16:54.000 He never carried a weapon in war.

00:16:55.000 Not only did he not carry a weapon in war, he literally quit his unit to not go to Iraq.

00:17:00.000 So as we'll see in his rally, he was ripping on J.D.

00:17:02.000 Vance, and so was Kamala Harris.

00:17:04.000 Vance went to Iraq.

00:17:04.000 J.D.

00:17:05.000 You know who didn't?

00:17:06.000 This guy.

00:17:07.000 He dropped out specifically to avoid going to Iraq.

00:17:09.000 According to the New York Post, when Minnesota Governor Tim Walz chose to leave the military on the eve of his deployment to Iraq, Thomas Barron's went in his place.

00:17:16.000 He said, quote, I needed to hit the ground running and take care of the troops and tell them we were going to war.

00:17:21.000 He had 500 soldiers under his command.

00:17:23.000 For a guy in that position to quit is cowardice.

00:17:25.000 When your country calls, you're supposed to run into battle, not the other way.

00:17:28.000 He ran away.

00:17:29.000 It's sad.

00:17:30.000 Here is Tom Barron's guy took over his command when Tim Walz decided that he was not, in fact, going to fill out his service.

00:17:37.000 He abandoned us.

00:17:39.000 What the hell kind of leader does that?

00:17:40.000 As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit.

00:17:47.000 When he was a congressman, he bragged that he was a retired command sergeant major.

00:17:54.000 ranking person ever in in the house and you know all this lie that he was telling.

00:17:59.000 The state of Minnesota came out after 2018 after this was exposed and they said well he can say that he served as a command sergeant major but he can't say he's a retired one because he's not.

00:18:10.000 Between lockdowns, riots, unchecked crime, and a charred police precinct, Barron's felt he had no choice but again to come forward.

00:18:18.000 Allowing that to be burned down was just like having the Alamo get burned down.

00:18:23.000 It's like, no, you defend that to the last man.

00:18:26.000 If he would have went to Iraq, he'd still be hiding under his desk over there.

00:18:32.000 Okay, so there you have it.

00:18:33.000 Deeply honest.

00:18:34.000 Deeply honest.

00:18:35.000 Deeply Midwestern.

00:18:37.000 Deeply all-American. 0.65

00:18:38.000 Speaking of deeply all-American, post from Morgan Ortegas, who is a foreign policy advisor to the Trump administration.

00:18:38.000 Tim Walz.

00:18:46.000 She says that His history is filled with weird views toward the Chinese Communist Party.

00:18:52.000 In fact, from 1989 to 1990, Walls taught a Communist Party-approved course in China during the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

00:18:58.000 Despite the political turmoil, says Morgan, he later argued that U.S.

00:19:01.000 classrooms should avoid depicting China as a scary threat and instead focus on its complexity.

00:19:06.000 From 1992 to 2003, Walls made nearly annual trips to China.

00:19:10.000 He established a summer program for Minnesota high school students with funding support from Beijing authorities.

00:19:16.000 In 1994, he and his wife went to China for their honeymoon, which is a weird place to honeymoon.

00:19:21.000 In 2007, Walls downplayed U.S.

00:19:22.000 concerns about China, labeling them as hyperbole.

00:19:25.000 He compared the U.S.-China relationship to a drug user and pusher, implying the situation was more nuanced than it appeared.

00:19:30.000 In 2019, he advocated for deeper economic engagement with Beijing despite ongoing human rights abuses and argued for a solid, lasting partnership with China.

00:19:38.000 He has focused on communist China by calling them amazing and insisting he was treated well during his time there.

00:19:46.000 Seems kind of weird.

00:19:47.000 Seems kind of strange.

00:19:49.000 Except that, of course, he did a bunch of early work in China.

00:19:52.000 So that's kind of weird.

00:19:54.000 Also, for a guy who is supposedly driving Midwestern votes, he spends an awful lot of time attacking the rural areas of Minnesota.

00:20:00.000 Here was Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, not all that long ago, ripping into the rural areas of Minnesota.

00:20:06.000 You see those maps, red and blue, and there's all that red across there.

00:20:10.000 Democrats go into depression over it. It's mostly rocks and cows that are in that red area.

00:20:15.000 Oh, it's rocks and cows, those rural areas.

00:20:18.000 Don't worry, he has lots of rural appeal.

00:20:20.000 Steve Kornacki, poll analyst over at MSNBC.

00:20:23.000 He's like, um, I don't see the rural appeal.

00:20:25.000 Can someone show this to me?

00:20:29.000 Look at his electoral history.

00:20:30.000 Tim Walz is in 2022, and the idea that he's got this automatic appeal with these small town areas and those three key battleground states, you don't see it in what he actually did on the ballot in 2022.

00:20:43.000 Now, that doesn't mean it can't happen.

00:20:45.000 You know, see how this story, once it gets told, how it, does it resonate with voters?

00:20:48.000 Does it act?

00:20:50.000 Could.

00:20:50.000 You have no idea of knowing when these things start.

00:20:53.000 But what we can look at here is what he's actually done as a candidate in Minnesota.

00:20:57.000 And honestly, when you look at Walz's victory in 2022 in Minnesota, it looks like Biden's victory in Minnesota in 2020.

00:21:04.000 Not a different coalition.

00:21:06.000 So all of that talk about Tim Walz is going to win over the rural Minnesotans and Wisconsins and Michiganders and Pennsylvanians.

00:21:13.000 Yeah, nonsense.

00:21:14.000 Everybody keeps talking about how Walz is going to win over the rural population.

00:21:17.000 Frankly, these kind of lies are making me sick, which is probably why I should have a stock of medication at home from The Wellness Company.

00:21:23.000 You need to be prepared with a medical emergency kit from The Wellness Company.

00:21:27.000 We have one at home.

00:21:28.000 My wife, the doctor, she loves it.

00:21:28.000 It's awesome.

00:21:30.000 First of all, this is not a simple first aid kit.

00:21:31.000 It contains essential life-saving medications that are often in short supply, like amoxicillin, Z-Pak, ivermectin, and more.

00:21:37.000 It's like having an urgent care in your home.

00:21:39.000 The medical emergency kit includes eight doctor-prescribed medications and a comprehensive guidebook for safely treating over 30 illnesses and infections, like COVID, strep throat, pneumonia, bronchitis, tick bites, UTIs, and more.

00:21:49.000 No doctor visits, no pharmacies, no co-pay.

00:22:19.000 J.D.

00:22:20.000 Vance had an excellent take on Tim Walz yesterday.

00:22:21.000 Here's the Republican vice presidential candidate doing the work.

00:22:25.000 They make an interesting tag team because, of course, Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, and then the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail.

00:22:35.000 So, it is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris, that she doesn't care about the border, she doesn't care about crime, she doesn't care about American energy, and most importantly, she doesn't care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies. 0.98

00:22:48.000 Hey, he's of course right about that.

00:22:50.000 So what's the real reason?

00:22:51.000 Because Tim Walz is a very vulnerable candidate.

00:22:54.000 I mentioned this yesterday.

00:22:55.000 As a Republican, I was concerned that Kamala Harris was going to make the smart move and choose Josh Shapiro. 0.97

00:23:00.000 It was going to make her look moderate. 0.89

00:23:01.000 It was going to give her a beard for her anti-Israel policies. 0.86

00:23:06.000 It was going to bring wavering Jews back on board in some of the big swing states. 1.00

00:23:09.000 There are a bunch of Jews who live in Pennsylvania.

00:23:11.000 A bunch who live in Michigan, for example.

00:23:14.000 And it was going to put a very popular Pennsylvania governor on the ticket with her. 0.72

00:23:18.000 And instead, she decided to go the other way.

00:23:20.000 So why didn't she?

00:23:21.000 Why didn't she?

00:23:22.000 And the answer is because she is enthralled to the left wing of her party, and she's part of it. 0.50

00:23:26.000 Okay, deep down, she agrees with the squad.

00:23:30.000 Deep down, the squad runs the party.

00:23:33.000 The Democratic Socialists of America basically claimed credit for sinking Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania.

00:23:38.000 quote, Harris choosing walls as a running mate has shown the world

00:23:42.000 that DSA and our allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored.

00:23:45.000 Through collective action, DSA and the US left more broadly have made it clear that

00:23:48.000 change is needed.

00:23:49.000 DSA members organized in our workplaces and unions to realign the labor movement to support

00:23:53.000 Palestinian liberation.

00:23:55.000 The uncommitted movement in which DSA members played crucial roles nationally and in multiple

00:23:59.000 states pressured the democratic establishment into choosing a new candidate and backing

00:24:03.000 down from a potential VP with direct ties to the IDF, who would have ferociously supported

00:24:07.000 the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

00:24:09.000 Okay, so that is the Democratic Socialists of America claiming victory.

00:24:15.000 Or, for example, how about Jamal Bowman?

00:24:17.000 Jamal Bowman, former congressperson.

00:24:21.000 He's still in Congress, but he lost his primary, so not for long.

00:24:24.000 And he hasn't been this excited about anything since October 7th, Jamal Bowman, the congressman who's wildly pro-Hamas.

00:24:31.000 He's very pumped up about Tim Walz.

00:24:35.000 It's WALTZ, baby, let's go!

00:24:36.000 High school teachers, stand up! 0.94

00:24:39.000 Public education, stand up!

00:24:41.000 Educators, stand up!

00:24:42.000 Young people, stand up!

00:24:44.000 Working class people, stand up! 1.00

00:24:46.000 It's WALTZ, baby, let's go!

00:24:48.000 Tim WALTZ in the building!

00:24:50.000 Time to win in November, y'all!

00:24:52.000 All hands on deck!

00:24:52.000 Let's go!

00:24:54.000 No staying at home!

00:24:55.000 Let's go! 0.93

00:24:59.000 That is a very excited person who hates Jews right there in Jamal Bowman.

00:25:04.000 Meanwhile, the rest of the left very excited as well.

00:25:05.000 Bernie Sanders is very excited because basically Tim Walz is just Bernie Sanders from Minnesota.

00:25:11.000 He comes from a rural state.

00:25:14.000 He has been a champion of the working class.

00:25:16.000 He's passed some very good legislation.

00:25:18.000 And at a time when we have massive levels of income and wealth inequality, While 60% of our people live in paycheck to paycheck, and the very, very rich are getting much richer.

00:25:30.000 I think the American people want somebody who's going to stand up for them and take on powerful special interests.

00:25:37.000 And I think that Governor Walz is the person to do that.

00:25:41.000 The radical left of the base thrilled.

00:25:43.000 Absolutely thrilled.

00:25:44.000 And we all know why.

00:25:45.000 So there's still a couple of honest Democrats out there.

00:25:48.000 Van Jones.

00:25:50.000 I think Van is a... I disagree with him on a ton of stuff, but he's an actual honest interlocutor when it comes to politics.

00:25:50.000 I'm friends with Van.

00:25:55.000 Like he says what's on his mind and he doesn't sugarcoat it.

00:25:58.000 Here is Van Jones pointing out exactly why Tim Walz was picked rather than Josh Shapiro.

00:26:02.000 He says, pretty ugly.

00:26:04.000 Here's the challenge you've got in this party.

00:26:08.000 People don't want to talk about it, but we've got to talk about it.

00:26:10.000 On the one hand, you have a lot of young people who are concerned about Gaza.

00:26:13.000 You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others.

00:26:16.000 They have not felt seen by the Biden administration.

00:26:20.000 You start hearing that genocide joke, that was building, that was building. 0.60

00:26:23.000 And so those folks needed to have a candidate that they could feel comfortable with.

00:26:28.000 This helps them in that regard, but you also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party.

00:26:35.000 You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot, but there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there, and there's some disquiet now, and there has to be.

00:26:44.000 How much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party?

00:26:50.000 Correct, of course.

00:26:51.000 Well, Van Jones is at least honest.

00:26:53.000 But you know what's dishonest?

00:26:54.000 What the IRS does to you.

00:26:55.000 If you're struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns, they just wait and then they pounce on you.

00:26:59.000 Handling this alone can be a huge mistake and cost you thousands of bucks.

00:27:59.000 Get the help you need with Tax Network USA.

00:28:01.000 Jake Tapper had the same experience on CNN, where a bunch of members of his panel were like, it's not anti-Semitism.

00:28:06.000 He's like, well, it's a little bit about him being a Jew, Josh Shapiro.

00:28:09.000 Isn't it just like a little bit?

00:28:12.000 And I think ultimately Shapiro I think fit is important.

00:28:17.000 But you know, I also think that when you look at the principle of do no harm, maybe they did say, in a state like Minnesota, do we want to, those 100,000 uncommitted voters who came out about the Gaza war, do we want to antagonize those voters?

00:28:37.000 Those are all parts of part of the questions as well.

00:28:39.000 One point on the Gaz War.

00:28:42.000 Shapiro has the same position on Israel that Governor Walz, that Senator Kelly has.

00:28:48.000 He's actually been more critical of Netanyahu than the other two, but He is Jewish.

00:28:55.000 He's also the face of the crackdown on the protests, right?

00:29:00.000 He spoke very vehemently about those campus protests as being anti-Semitic.

00:29:04.000 Not all of them.

00:29:05.000 The ones that were anti-Semitic he criticized as being anti-Semitic.

00:29:08.000 Of course, but he was out front on the issue.

00:29:10.000 So I'm wondering if that's the kind of thing that, again, for the activist wing of the party, they thought was a slap in the face.

00:29:20.000 It's true, the activist wing of the party that loves Hamas was really pissed off by Josh Shapiro.

00:29:23.000 That's, of course, why it was happening.

00:29:24.000 The dead giveaway, by the way, that this had to do with the fact that Josh Shapiro was Jewish is that Mehdi Hassan, a perennial career liar paid by the government of Qatar, he says that it was definitely not anti-Semitism, Mehdi Hassan.

00:29:37.000 I mean, it's one of the most... It's one of the dumbest and most dangerous lies that we've heard from the Republicans in recent days. 0.99

00:29:43.000 Obviously, the call went out on one of the right-wing WhatsApp groups, because they're all doing it. 0.99

00:29:46.000 Ari Fleischer, Newt Gingrich, they will be... Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, they will be piling in with... It's anti-Semitic.

00:29:51.000 I think Eric Erickson said today, there's no Jews at the top of the Democratic Party allowed, to which Chuck Schumer responded, news to me.

00:29:58.000 And it's not just the Senate Majority Leader who is Jewish Democrat, by the way.

00:30:02.000 All 10 Jewish senators in the United States Senate are Democrats.

00:30:06.000 24 of the 27 House members who are Jewish are Democrats.

00:30:08.000 All four governors in America who are Jewish are Democrats.

00:30:11.000 The Secretary of State, the Treasury Secretary, the Attorney General, the Homeland Security Secretary, and the Second Gentleman are all Jewish Democrats. 0.97

00:30:18.000 So it's a nonsense lie.

00:30:20.000 That's the Democratic Party's record.

00:30:23.000 Well, no, actually, the lie is that a Jewish Zionist could be made Vice President with a base made up of many Hassans. 0.79

00:30:29.000 That is the actual lie. 0.84

00:30:31.000 Chuck Schumer can be the Senate Minority Leader or Majority Leader so long as he's ramming through anti-Israel crap from Barack Obama and undermining the Prime Minister of the State of Israel. 0.82

00:30:40.000 That's totally fine. 0.89

00:30:41.000 Bernie Sanders can be as quote-unquote Jewish as he wants to be so long as he's as Jewish as a ham sandwich and as supportive of Israel as Jamal Bowman.

00:30:48.000 That's the way this works.

00:30:49.000 If you're willing to beard for the Democratic Party, not only do they want you, they want you, Jewish, if you can beard for the Democratic Party. 0.90

00:30:56.000 Which is precisely what Josh Shapiro intended on doing last night.

00:30:59.000 It was kind of a sad spectacle.

00:31:00.000 It was a sad spectacle.

00:31:01.000 So they finally got to this rally.

00:31:03.000 And again, it's just sugarcoating a bad pill.

00:31:06.000 It really is.

00:31:07.000 And you can tell the media are trying to excite themselves about all of this.

00:31:10.000 They're really trying to get themselves up.

00:31:12.000 It turns out that Kamala Harris, who's a horrifyingly bad politician, is actually God's gift to politics. 1.00

00:31:18.000 Did you know this?

00:31:20.000 According to the New York Times, Ms. 0.74

00:31:21.000 Harris, a former prosecutor, and more relevantly, a black woman, in the unrelenting spotlight of national politics—this is not a commentary, this is news coverage—a black woman, in the unrelenting spotlight of national politics, wears broad-shouldered suits, pearls in heels, sometimes crisp chucks.

00:31:39.000 She marshals an arched brow, a studied hand flip, carefully curated sentences. 0.97

00:31:44.000 That's one way to say nonsensical bullcrap.

00:31:46.000 Her wave is controlled, her eyes always fixed on a distant point, her movements smooth.

00:31:51.000 Mr. Walls, who's broad-shouldered, is often pictured in t-shirts, white hair slightly rumbled if not hidden under a camo hat.

00:31:58.000 Even when he wears a jacket and tie, he tends to look like, well,

00:32:01.000 a flustered high school football coach, red-faced as if he is about to drop a play on a dry erase board.

00:32:05.000 But Mr. Walls' breakthrough over the past few weeks has also been Ms. Harris's.

00:32:09.000 Having struggled for years to get popular traction, she suddenly has the winds of democratic enthusiasm and

00:32:14.000 hope at her back, says the New York Times.

00:32:16.000 Long a mystery to even those who wanted to support her, Ms.

00:32:18.000 Harris has become beloved for her big laugh, her dance moves, her mother's coconut metaphor. 0.62

00:32:24.000 Wow.

00:32:24.000 She is beloved.

00:32:25.000 Did you know that?

00:32:26.000 Did you know she's beloved?

00:32:27.000 Can you taste the fake sugar?

00:32:28.000 Can you taste?

00:32:30.000 Can you taste it?

00:32:30.000 The Ersatz sugar that is dumping it all over.

00:32:34.000 It's going to give rats cancer, the amount of fake sugar that they are putting on this campaign.

00:32:39.000 We'll get into the fake sugaring put on the campaign, but first we have to actually talk about the sad, the sad departed tragedy of Josh Shapiro.

00:32:47.000 So Josh Shapiro in the last few weeks, he has softly tried to back into the bushes about his Zionism and his Judaism.

00:32:53.000 He's really tried to do his best.

00:32:55.000 Sure, he'll talk about his Judaism, but only in the very Tikkun Olam way. 0.83

00:32:59.000 That Reconstructionist and Reform Jews like to talk before they go and vote against all Jewish values in favor of Barack Obama or Ilhan Omar or something. 0.98

00:33:06.000 So, Josh Shapiro, he was just too Jewish. 1.00

00:33:08.000 We know. 0.57

00:33:09.000 He was just a little too much Jew. 1.00

00:33:10.000 I mean, he has the same last name that I do.

00:33:12.000 No relation.

00:33:13.000 And Josh Shapiro, he gives a speech last night. 0.99

00:33:15.000 I mean, this has to suck. 0.98

00:33:16.000 I mean, honestly, it really has to suck to be the person who wasn't chosen VP. 0.98

00:33:20.000 And in your home city of Philadelphia, you are now expected to introduce the person who was chosen VP and the person who didn't choose you.

00:33:26.000 This is like you're up for an Oscar.

00:33:29.000 And instead of just having somebody introduce best actress, you have one of the competitors who lost hand the award to one of the people who won.

00:33:37.000 You have to feel a little bad for Josh Shapiro.

00:33:40.000 The saddest part of all of this was Josh Shapiro talking about how proud he was of his faith.

00:33:45.000 He cited Pirkei Avot, the Ethics of the Fathers, a section of the Oral Torah, the Mishnah.

00:33:50.000 to justify his support for a party that wants to the kids abortion up until point of birth radical

00:33:56.000 redistributionism and anti-israel sentiment so slow clap for for this guy who he tried his hardest

00:34:02.000 to be a beard for the democratic party he's still trying but you know what no matter how hard you

00:34:06.000 try to beard you can't be the vp too jewish i want to just say this

00:34:14.000 i lean on my family and i lean on my faith which calls me to serve

00:34:23.000 And I am proud of my faith.

00:34:29.000 Democratic Party ain't proud of your faith, my friend.

00:34:31.000 In fact, the more religious you are, the less they like you.

00:34:35.000 They like that you're Jewish as long as you are willing to beard for them. 0.98

00:34:37.000 The minute you're not willing to beard for them anymore, well, that's a little awkward.

00:34:42.000 And then Josh Shapiro, obviously a little bit, little bit run down by the week.

00:34:46.000 He starts to Howard Dean it, his voice is cracking. 0.97

00:34:49.000 Well, you know, it's got to be rough when you take many of your fundamental principles and you have to publicly walk them back in order to curry favor with a second-rate dullard like Kamala Harris.

00:35:01.000 Are you ready to build an America where no matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love or who you pray to, that this will be a place for you? 0.93

00:35:15.000 And are you ready to look the next president of the United States in the eye and say, hello, madam president?

00:35:29.000 Wow.

00:35:29.000 Oh boy.

00:35:30.000 It's been a rough weekend for Josh Shapiro.

00:35:33.000 But don't worry, the joy is coming.

00:35:35.000 We'll get to all the joy in just a bit.

00:35:36.000 So much joy.

00:35:37.000 Ugh, the joy.

00:35:38.000 The unbelievable amount of sweet and low joy just being dumped on there.

00:35:45.000 They got like a giant cement truck filled with sweet and low,

00:35:47.000 dumping it on the campaign.

00:35:48.000 Just amazing, amazing stuff.

00:35:50.000 We'll get to all of the NutraSweet joy in just one second.

00:35:54.000 First, The Daily Wire is about to release its very first theatrical film.

00:35:56.000 It's going to be a hilarious rude awakening for the woke.

00:35:59.000 From the white guys who brought you, "'What is a woman?' 1.00

00:36:01.000 comes America's next great question, "'Am I racist?'

00:36:04.000 Only in theaters September 13th.

00:36:05.000 Matt Walsh went undercover in the belly of the DEIB, surrounded by professional race baiters and diversity grifters. 0.98

00:36:10.000 Good news, they're dumb, so they actually fell for his gambit. 0.99

00:36:13.000 He literally just wore a wig. 0.99

00:36:16.000 I'm not even kidding.

00:36:17.000 Watch the preview.

00:36:18.000 Here's what you need to know right now.

00:36:26.000 Get ready for a taste of comedy.

00:36:28.000 To DEI for to die for.

00:36:30.000 Get it?

00:36:31.000 Okay, meanwhile.

00:36:32.000 So last night was the big event Kamala Harris ushers on to stage Tim Walls.

00:36:38.000 And when you talk about charisma and sheer magnetism, Tim Walls is the name of the game.

00:36:43.000 Awkwardly walking around the stage, cheering the crowd behind him like the football coach that he is.

00:36:49.000 Ed Asner, Don Rickles.

00:36:52.000 I mean, these are the names that come to mind when you see this sort of just animal charisma.

00:36:56.000 Absolutely.

00:36:57.000 And some, oh my gosh, the enthusiasm, the joy, the sheer joy, the aspartame, the sucralose, the stevia of joy.

00:37:04.000 Can you feel all of it?

00:37:05.000 Here was Kamala Harris walking on stage with Tim Walz and everyone is so excited!

00:37:09.000 Ugh! 1.00

00:37:10.000 Now, I gotta tell you, it's amazing how the media just fall for this crap. 1.00

00:37:14.000 Seriously. 0.99

00:37:15.000 People, you mean they went on stage at a rally filled with their supporters and their supporters were excited?

00:37:21.000 No!

00:37:22.000 You shock me!

00:37:23.000 Like, here we go.

00:37:23.000 So much excitement, you can feel it!

00:37:25.000 So much excitement for this terrible vice presidential candidate and the obscure governor

00:37:29.000 of Minnesota who's done such a bad job that his people are fleeing in droves.

00:37:43.000 Feel the joy.

00:37:47.000 Ahhhh so much joy!

00:37:50.000 Feel the joy, feel it, it's so- Okay so Kamala Harris introduces Tim Walz.

00:37:56.000 Uh, by making fun of J-J-JDV. 0.57

00:37:58.000 She suggests that Tim Walz is Varsity and J.D.

00:37:58.000 Vance.

00:38:01.000 Vance is JV Squad.

00:38:02.000 Listen, she's so bad at this. 1.00

00:38:05.000 I mean, she can't even deliver a joke. 1.00

00:38:07.000 And she's fine when she's on teleprompter, but any time there's supposed to be any actual joy or spontaneity or laughter, she just can't do it.

00:38:13.000 It's super awkward.

00:38:16.000 Some might say it's like It's like a matchup between the varsity team and the JV squad!

00:38:32.000 What an amazing line!

00:38:33.000 By the way, last time a Democrat called somebody the JV Squad, it was Barack Obama calling ISIS the JV Squad.

00:38:38.000 They then took over half the Middle East. 0.98

00:38:40.000 So, slow clap there.

00:38:41.000 But of course, the online minions immediately went to work and it was JV Vance, get it?

00:38:44.000 Instead of JD Vance, it's JV Vance.

00:38:46.000 First of all, cannot wait for the debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz.

00:38:51.000 I cannot wait for it.

00:38:52.000 I am there for it.

00:38:54.000 I want to hear Tim Walz defend why he allowed Minneapolis to burn to the ground on his watch.

00:38:59.000 I want to hear Tim Walz defend increasing taxes, a loss of population, failure across the board in Minnesota.

00:39:05.000 Like, please, let's do this thing.

00:39:06.000 Okay, so then Walz gets up there, and listen, I'll give it to him.

00:39:09.000 He's got the high school coach routine going pretty well.

00:39:12.000 It's a nice little, it's a nice little bit.

00:39:14.000 Really, like he's not horrible at it.

00:39:16.000 He's not dull as ditch water like Tim Kaine was with Hillary Clinton.

00:39:20.000 He's kind of amusing.

00:39:21.000 He's got this Midwestern populist thing going.

00:39:25.000 He's rolling and he's grooving.

00:39:27.000 And here he was thanking Kamala Harris for bringing back, wait for it, you're not gonna believe the word he's gonna use here.

00:39:31.000 You're not gonna, it's joy.

00:39:32.000 I know, I know.

00:39:34.000 He's bringing back, she's bringing back the joy.

00:39:36.000 Because when you think of Kamala Harris's crazed laughter, When you think of Kamala Harris, isn't the first word that comes to mind just the sheer joy of living?

00:39:45.000 You know, it's like you and your family on a picnic in a park, waterfall in the distance.

00:39:50.000 It's just joy.

00:39:51.000 It's like butterflies and rainbows, Kamala Harris.

00:39:54.000 Here is so much joy.

00:39:55.000 Now, what he means by joy is she can breathe.

00:39:58.000 Joe Biden's been dead, but it doesn't matter.

00:40:00.000 This is the new campaign, the campaign of joy and laughter and unicorns running through the meadows accompanied by fairies.

00:40:07.000 Here we go.

00:40:08.000 Tim Walz.

00:40:10.000 Thank you, Madam Vice President, for the trust you put in me, but maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy.

00:40:18.000 Are you feeling the joy?

00:40:22.000 You know, that 20% inflation over the course of the last few years, the Middle East completely on fire, a breakdown in the social fabric, a president of the United States who she covered up for for years and continues to cover up for today, who is completely incompetent.

00:40:34.000 Can you feel that joy?

00:40:35.000 Do you feel it deep in your bones?

00:40:37.000 Is this a joyous time?

00:40:39.000 Do most Americans feel like this is like a joyful time in America?

00:40:43.000 Because this is what they're trying to sell you.

00:40:43.000 Are you getting that feeling?

00:40:45.000 And again, ain't that much stevia in the world to cover this thing over.

00:40:49.000 Ain't that much monk fruit extract available on planet Earth to gloss this one.

00:40:55.000 And then we got into the actual content of what Tim Walz had to say.

00:40:58.000 So he talks about how he was a public school teacher and don't underestimate teachers.

00:41:02.000 I mean, I don't know. 0.98

00:41:04.000 Some teachers are good and some teachers kind of suck. 0.96

00:41:06.000 I mean, there's that. 0.89

00:41:08.000 And we'll talk about his education record in Minnesota in a moment, but it wasn't great, actually.

00:41:12.000 Here he is.

00:41:13.000 Don't underestimate.

00:41:14.000 By the way, when he says don't underestimate teachers, what he means is let's pay Randy Weingarten, the American Federation of Teachers, billions of dollars.

00:41:21.000 That's what he means.

00:41:23.000 I can't wait for all of you in America to get to know my incredible wife Gwen, a 29-year public school educator.

00:41:30.000 Don't ever underestimate teachers.

00:41:40.000 uh...

00:41:43.000 What does that even mean, don't underestimate teachers?

00:41:45.000 I mean, again, it depends on the teacher, I would assume.

00:41:48.000 Don't ever underestimate bicyclists.

00:41:51.000 By the way, how did he perform in terms of education?

00:41:53.000 Not amazing.

00:41:55.000 As you can see, the per-pupil spending inflation adjusted skyrocketed under Tim Walz.

00:42:00.000 Meanwhile, math proficiency radically declined from 2018 on, and reading proficiency also radically declined.

00:42:07.000 Under Tim Walls.

00:42:08.000 So he did an amazing job.

00:42:09.000 Don't underestimate teachers, particularly ones paid by Tim Walls.

00:42:13.000 Also, he mentioned his delightful wife a moment ago, which brings her to the forefront.

00:42:18.000 Because here is a clip that we have of his delightful wife.

00:42:20.000 This is back in 2020, when Minneapolis was burning to the ground.

00:42:24.000 And she talks in pretty Karen terms here.

00:42:28.000 About what it's like to really enjoy the smell of burning tires, reminding her from her palatial estate over here of just how important America's history and legacy of evil racism is.

00:42:42.000 Those first days, you know, when there were riots, I could smell the burning tires and That was a very real thing and I kept the windows open for as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.

00:43:05.000 Well, that's weird and very white of you. 0.96

00:43:09.000 So, you know, just keep in touch with the people.

00:43:12.000 You smell the city burning, then you let it burn because that's what people mostly want in their neighborhoods is for the governor's wife to let the city completely burn down. 1.00

00:43:18.000 Because when you smell those burning towers, that's where you love the smell of burning tires in the morning.

00:43:26.000 I'm sorry, that ain't great.

00:43:28.000 That's not a lot of sympathy for, you know, the actual people who live in those neighborhoods.

00:43:32.000 But don't worry, according to Tim Walz, crime is up under Donald Trump.

00:43:35.000 Donald Trump is responsible for crime.

00:43:37.000 Never mind the fact that Trump skyrocketed in 2020 because of Tim Walz and the city of Minneapolis and St.

00:43:42.000 Paul.

00:43:45.000 Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand.

00:43:50.000 He mocks our laws.

00:43:53.000 He sows chaos and division.

00:43:57.000 And that's to say nothing of his record as president.

00:44:03.000 He froze in the face of the COVID crisis.

00:44:08.000 He drove our economy into the ground.

00:44:12.000 And make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump.

00:44:19.000 In your city, in your city, here is a chart of crime in Minnesota.

00:44:25.000 Here's what it looked like.

00:44:26.000 Didn't look great, Bob.

00:44:28.000 He takes over in 2018.

00:44:30.000 And crime begins to increase.

00:44:33.000 The United States rate continues to decrease.

00:44:35.000 It goes a little bit up in 2020 and then spikes back down.

00:44:38.000 His, however, saw a 9.1% increase from 2018 to 2022.

00:44:42.000 So when he's lecturing all of us about crime, recognize that it was Tim Walz who was making room for the crime in the name of racial justice.

00:44:48.000 Here he was in 2020, showing sympathy for people who are committing the crime of tearing down statues.

00:44:53.000 This happened to be a Christopher Columbus statue, and here he was talking about the magic of tearing down Christopher Columbus statues.

00:44:58.000 Don't worry, he's a moderate Midwesterner.

00:45:00.000 It was an act of civil disobedience that we need to make sure people feel that there is a proper outlet to address what are legitimate concerns around what they view as a genocidal monument that they have to walk to in their democracy.

00:45:18.000 Genocidal monument.

00:45:19.000 I didn't realize the monuments commit genocide, but there you have it. 0.93

00:45:22.000 Also, the notion that Christopher Columbus committed a genocide is absolutely asinine on a historical level.

00:45:27.000 Disease is not a genocide.

00:45:29.000 That is not the way that works.

00:45:31.000 Also, speaking of crime, it was Minnesota Governor Tim Walz who supported efforts to turn his home state into a sanctuary state while also backing other stances that cater to undocumented immigrants, including full-scale healthcare and college education for illegal immigrants in his state.

00:45:45.000 Don't worry, he's very much against crime.

00:45:46.000 He's a moderate, you see.

00:45:48.000 He's a moderate, Tim Walz.

00:45:49.000 And this is why, when you look at all this, you think to yourself, why would she pick somebody like this?

00:45:53.000 I mean, listen to all these lines of vulnerability for Tim Walz.

00:45:56.000 I mean, J.D.

00:45:57.000 Vann's gonna tear him up.

00:45:58.000 We all know why she picked Tim Walz and she didn't pick Josh Shapiro.

00:46:02.000 Us pointing us out.

00:46:04.000 We're not the crazy ones.

00:46:05.000 We can all see the thing in front of us.

00:46:07.000 Meanwhile, Tim Walz, his vulnerabilities don't end there.

00:46:09.000 In the middle of this rally, he started suggesting, the Republicans, they're all up in your biz, Natch.

00:46:15.000 They're all up in your business.

00:46:16.000 That is their thing.

00:46:18.000 Now, what he means by this is that Republicans don't want you to kill unborn babies.

00:46:21.000 That's a big problem.

00:46:22.000 He says they're up in your business.

00:46:24.000 Mind your own business, says Tim Walz.

00:46:26.000 As we'll explain in a moment, no one has minded his own business less than Governor Tim Walz.

00:46:32.000 Some of us in here are old enough to remember.

00:46:35.000 I see you down there.

00:46:37.000 I see those old white guys. 0.96

00:46:40.000 Some of us are old enough to remember.

00:46:44.000 When it was Republicans who were talking about freedom.

00:46:49.000 It turns out now, what they meant was the government should be free to invade your doctor's office.

00:46:58.000 In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make.

00:47:07.000 Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule. 0.99

00:47:11.000 Mind your own damn business. 0.98

00:47:15.000 That's right, what Democrats are most focusing on is minding your own business, except for how they want to control your actual business. 1.00

00:47:22.000 They want to control your actual livelihood.

00:47:24.000 They want to control how you raise your family.

00:47:27.000 If you don't raise your kids, obviously you're a great senator.

00:47:29.000 And, according to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's administration, in March 2020, they actually created a snitch hotline encouraging people to call on their neighbors if they weren't following the government's COVID lockdown orders.

00:47:40.000 That hotline, according to the Daily Wire, generated thousands of reports against people playing basketball, Walls' administration continued to monitor the hotline until November of 2020.

00:47:54.000 In one example of a complaint, someone alerted authorities to a church service that was not following Tim Walls' legal requirements.

00:48:01.000 People also called in lists of non-essential businesses that remained open or didn't strictly follow government masking requirements. 0.98

00:48:06.000 Mind your own damn business, says Tim Walls, as he asks you to snitch on your neighbor. 0.96

00:48:10.000 After all, this is the same guy who said socialism is neighborliness. 0.99

00:48:12.000 Does that make sense?

00:48:14.000 You know, it's just neighborliness when you snitch on your neighbor and get them fined by the state government for the great crime of going to church. 0.98

00:48:22.000 But you have to mind your own damn business when it comes to abortion law. 1.00

00:48:27.000 Solid stuff. 1.00

00:48:28.000 By the way, his COVID policy was such unbelievably insane Marxist nonsense.

00:48:34.000 According to Aaron Siberium, under Tim Walz, Minnesota's health department rationed life-saving COVID drugs based on race, BIPOC status, earned more points than hypertension in the state's allocation system, Meaning if you're black, or if you're a person of color, it earned the same amount of points as age, BMI, diabetes, and kidney disease under Tim Walz. 0.99

00:48:55.000 Don't worry though, mind your own damn business. 0.81

00:48:58.000 But in the end, what Tim Walz is really about is Minnesota nice. 0.99

00:49:01.000 That's really what he's about.

00:49:02.000 He's about being just a kind, avuncular gentleman from the Midwest.

00:49:06.000 The kind of person who you'd want to have a beer with, although he doesn't drink anymore since the DUI.

00:49:10.000 He's the kind of person you'd want to hang out with.

00:49:12.000 The kind of person who would never make a scummy disgusting joke about a political opponent simply for, you know, cheap partisan purposes, which is precisely what he did last night.

00:49:23.000 And I gotta tell you, I can't wait to debate the guy.

00:49:29.000 That is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up.

00:49:36.000 There's Kamala Harris laughing and the crowd laughing.

00:49:38.000 Why are they laughing, you ask?

00:49:39.000 See what I did there?

00:49:40.000 Don Rickles.

00:49:41.000 Don Rickles.

00:49:41.000 Oh, that's regretful.

00:49:42.000 OK, that is the disgusting smear, of course, that J.D.

00:49:46.000 Vance supposedly copulated with a couch.

00:49:49.000 A smear that was started in Xworld on Twitter and then metastasized to fact checks.

00:49:54.000 And then because it became a meme, now he gets to make jokes about that.

00:49:57.000 Now, imagine that Donald Trump made the same joke about Kamala Harris.

00:50:01.000 Or Tim Walz, for that matter.

00:50:03.000 This is a cheap and easy game to play.

00:50:04.000 Mary Catherine Hamm had this exactly right.

00:50:07.000 Mary Catherine tweeted, slandering someone based on a bleep post is indeed propagating

00:50:11.000 misinformation and really bad behavior.

00:50:13.000 And it would be a, this is very bad story instead of a, Republicans are complaining story

00:50:17.000 if I made a concerted effort to go on TV and imply that Governor Walz effed a traffic cone.

00:50:22.000 Yes, yes, I know. 0.86

00:50:22.000 You're a prude who can't take a joke if you point out that telling lies about a public figure effing an inanimate object is bad and juvenile. 0.86

00:50:28.000 And it's such a fun trick because the public figure can't defend against it without elevating it into basing it themselves. 0.90

00:50:33.000 And she said all the misinformation reports can go eff traffic cones. 0.86

00:50:36.000 That is exactly right.

00:50:38.000 That is exactly right.

00:50:39.000 But, you know, it's okay because it's all part of the broader attempt to use the other Democratic keyword these days, which is weird. 0.95

00:50:45.000 So here is Tim Walz, who is a creepy weirdo, talking about how the Republicans are creepy weirdos.

00:50:49.000 We'll get to his own creepy weirdness in just a second. 0.80

00:50:53.000 Pointing out just an observation of mine that I made.

00:50:56.000 I just have to say it.

00:50:57.000 You know it, you feel it. 0.91

00:50:59.000 These guys are creepy and yes, just weird as hell.

00:51:01.000 That's what you see. 0.94

00:51:02.000 That's what you see. 0.95

00:51:07.000 They're creepy and weird as hell.

00:51:08.000 You know, I think that your definition of weird and creepy is wrong.

00:51:13.000 I do not think those words mean what you think they mean, Tim Walsh.

00:51:15.000 See, when I think weird and creepy, I think of you gallivanting around with drag queens and small children. 1.00

00:51:20.000 You know, at actual legislative signings.

00:51:21.000 That's what I think of.

00:51:24.000 As you can see, we have a wonderful group here again today.

00:51:29.000 And the purpose of being here is we've been signing a lot of bills.

00:51:33.000 We've been welcoming our neighbors back into their communities by making sure we're restoring voting rights to folks.

00:51:40.000 All of the resources and the power invested in the Office of Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the State of Minnesota is there to make sure that your children and your families are protected, are respected, are able to take the choices so that you can live that very authentic life that is only truly yours.

00:51:56.000 You have our commitment today and this executive order we're signing will reaffirm state law, it will refocus state agencies on that, and it will make sure that Minnesota's placed as a welcoming, loving, neighborly state where you are welcome and will be free of persecution or anything else that we're trying to see in some other states.

00:52:15.000 In this state, those things don't hold anything.

00:52:19.000 He's standing alongside 12-year-old boys who believe they are girls and radical activists to sign into law a law that would make Minnesota a refuge state, which, for example, provides tampons in the boys' bathroom.

00:52:33.000 Not weird and creepy at all to provide tampons in first-grade bathrooms for boys.

00:52:38.000 Not strange at all.

00:52:40.000 One month earlier, before that, the Democrats signed an executive order protecting gender-affirming care in Minnesota, including puberty blockers, surgeries, and hormone therapy for minors.

00:52:48.000 So, not weird and creepy, just normal.

00:52:51.000 You know, totally, totally normal.

00:52:54.000 Now, Kamala Harris catering to this part of her base, she's trying to have it both ways. 1.00

00:52:59.000 She knows the media is gonna do all the hard lifting for her, that they are going to pretend that Tim Walz is a moderate, or that she is a moderate, even as they run the most left-wing candidacy in the history of the American Republic.

00:53:09.000 They have to do that.

00:53:10.000 They have to do that, because she's afraid of losing her base, and she's not going to run as a moderate, both because ideologically she's not a moderate, And also because it's just not credible.

00:53:20.000 Now the problem for her is this.

00:53:22.000 It turns out most Americans, they actually do not like the radicalism.

00:53:24.000 They are not fond of the radicalism.

00:53:26.000 They don't like it at all.

00:53:28.000 Which is why, in a bit of good news yesterday, Cori Bush has now lost her Missouri House primary to Wesley Bell. 1.00

00:53:34.000 So this makes the second member of the pro-Hamas squad to have lost a congressional seat in the last month and a half.

00:53:39.000 Jamal Bowman lost his congressional seat overwhelmingly to George Latimer in New York.

00:53:43.000 And Wesley Bell clocked Cori Bush Who, beyond hating Jews in Israel, has also effectively violated campaign finance law by paying her husband to be her security consultant for hundreds of thousands of dollars, allegedly.

00:53:58.000 He beat her by a lot.

00:54:01.000 Her opponent, according to the Washington Post, was backed by AIPAC.

00:54:04.000 Now, of course, she was losing already to Bell before AIPAC got into the race.

00:54:09.000 By the end of June, Bell had four times as much cash on hand as Bush.

00:54:12.000 And this, of course, has now radicalized Cori Bush. 1.00

00:54:13.000 This is one of my favorite kind of notions.

00:54:15.000 I really do love it.

00:54:16.000 It's one of my favorite things.

00:54:17.000 So when we talk about terrorists, what the left will say is, if you're really mean to terrorists, it makes them even more terrorists.

00:54:22.000 Don't you understand if you fight Hamas, you're just creating more Hamas? 0.88

00:54:26.000 Or maybe they were already Hamas.

00:54:28.000 I don't know.

00:54:29.000 It seems to me that if you were already identifying with the terror group, me killing more terrorists can't make you identify any more with the terror group.

00:54:35.000 But Cori Bush actually tried this one out herself.

00:54:37.000 So she loses her primary and then she's like, well, now I'm radicalized. 0.54

00:54:41.000 Now I really, really, really hate Jews in AIPAC. 1.00

00:54:44.000 Now, you know, you thought I hated them before. 0.99

00:54:45.000 Now I hate them so much more.

00:54:47.000 Maybe this is why you shouldn't be in Congress, lady. 1.00

00:54:50.000 Because, see, now I don't have to worry about some strings that I have attached that as much as I love my job.

00:54:58.000 But all they did was radicalize me, and so now they're afraid.

00:55:02.000 See, now they're about to see this other Cory, this other side.

00:55:05.000 Because let me say this.

00:55:09.000 I just grew up a whole lot more over the last few weeks.

00:55:12.000 Now let me say, it's because of the work that I need to do.

00:55:18.000 and let me say this.

00:55:24.000 AIPAC, I'm coming to tear your kingdom down! 1.00

00:55:32.000 Oh, it's delicious.

00:55:33.000 Oh, it's delicious.

00:55:33.000 So, she goes down to flaming defeat.

00:55:36.000 And the Democratic Party's like, how do we actually draw her constituents? 0.99

00:55:39.000 How do we cater to them?

00:55:40.000 It's a brilliant move. 0.98

00:55:41.000 The only way the Democrats can possibly get away with it is with the compliance of a pathetic media. 0.95

00:55:47.000 And thankfully for the Democrats, that's exactly what they have. 0.99

00:55:49.000 The compliance of an absolutely pathetic media. 0.85

00:55:51.000 As I said before, we're now on day 18 of zero questions asked. 0.94

00:55:55.000 We are nearly three weeks into her campaign.

00:55:55.000 To Kamala Harris.

00:55:57.000 Zero questions asked.

00:55:59.000 All right, in just a second, we'll bring you the updates from the Middle East.

00:56:02.000 Hamas has been having a very rough time of it.

00:56:03.000 First, they lost their political leader, and then they lost their congresswoman from Missouri.

00:56:13.000 Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. 0.91

00:56:18.000 Growing up, I never thought much about race. 0.95

00:56:19.000 It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.

00:56:22.000 Am I racist?

00:56:23.000 I would really appreciate it if you left.

00:56:25.000 I'm trying to learn.

00:56:25.000 I'm on this journey.

00:56:26.000 If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.

00:56:36.000 Here's my certification.

00:56:37.000 And what you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.

00:56:40.000 What's the word for you in this field?

00:56:41.000 Is America inherently racist?

00:56:42.000 The word inherent is challenging that.

00:56:44.000 I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.

00:56:48.000 America is racist to its bones.

00:56:49.000 So inherently? 0.98

00:56:50.000 Yes. 1.00

00:56:50.000 This country is a piece of s**t. White. 1.00

00:56:54.000 White. 1.00

00:56:54.000 Folks. 1.00

00:56:55.000 Trash. 1.00

00:57:03.000 What's your name?

00:57:04.000 I'm Matt.
