00:01:53.000It's a lot narrower than it was just a few weeks ago.
00:01:55.000And, by the way, Cook Political has now shifted Eric Hovde's race against Tammy Baldwin in the Senate into a toss-up, into a dead heat, which is great.
00:02:04.000We campaigned with Eric just last week in Wisconsin's terrific candidate.
00:02:07.000He'll make a great senator from the state of Wisconsin.
00:02:09.000Meanwhile, over in Michigan, Kamala's having some real struggles.
00:02:13.000There's a lot of news about internal polling from Michigan showing that she is having serious problems, particularly in getting out the Arab American vote, which is why so-called undeclared, which are Arab Americans who are pro-Hamas and very angry that Kamala Harris isn't quite pro-Hamas enough, despite all of her best attempts to appease them, Because of that, they are now considering endorsing Kamala Harris.
00:02:31.000But in the last four polls, Atlas Intel has Trump up plus four in Michigan.
00:02:37.000New York Times-Siena has Harris plus one.
00:02:38.000Again, that's margin of error. Trafalgar has Trump plus two.
00:02:41.000And Mears, Michigan news source, has Trump plus one.
00:02:45.000In other words, these are very close states, but Trump seems to be picking up some momentum.
00:02:50.000Not only that... The union men who really are prevalent in these states, in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, are turning against Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
00:03:01.000I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, that the Teamsters Union poll, which showed that Joe Biden was beating Donald Trump when he was in the race among Teamsters Union members.
00:03:08.000As soon as Kamala Harris got in, it flipped, and suddenly Trump was winning those union members 60 to 40.
00:03:14.000Which leads me to my theory that there is a very large and very quiet male pro-Trump vote.
00:03:21.000That men, particularly blue-collar white men, look at Kamala Harris and they see someone who disdains traditional masculinity.
00:03:27.000And the attempts to turn, say, Doug Emhoff into an icon of the new masculinity or Tim Walz, the weirdo, into some sort of icon of what it's like to be a true man in America in 2024, not only is that not having its desired impact, it is actually exacerbating male feelings that the Democratic ticket is no longer interested in them.
00:03:51.000Politico has an entire piece today titled, The Latest Union Snub for Harris and Walls Underscores a Bigger Problem for Their Campaign.
00:03:58.000They point out that Democrats' waning influence with unions, especially industrial, male-heavy groups like the firefighters and the Teamsters, has been a major point of concern for Democrats since Harris took over the ticket from Joe Biden, who is widely hailed by union leaders as a staunch ally of organized labor.
00:04:11.000To fill that void, Harris, who has a strong pro-labor record but few personal ties to the country's unions, has leaned heavily on Tim Walls to help bolster the ticket's labor appeal.
00:04:19.000On the campaign trail, the governor frequently talks up Harris' role in the most pro-union U.S. administration in history under Joe Biden.
00:04:27.000So the UAW is backing Harris and Walls.
00:04:29.000So is the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers.
00:04:31.000But that does not mean that the members of those unions are going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.
00:04:38.000And that's not because Harris and Walls are not pro-union.
00:04:43.000Essentially sycophants to the labor unions.
00:04:45.000That is because the people who actually work and are members of unions don't necessarily vote just because they're members of unions.
00:04:53.000They may have a bunch of cross-cutting concerns, including concerns about what Kamala Harris is going to do on the economy, including concerns about the attack on traditional masculinity, including concerns that Kamala Harris just does not have them in her heart.
00:05:08.000And there is, you know, a lot of good evidence to that effect, which is why Kamala Harris right now has some serious problem in these blue wall states.
00:05:16.000So Kamala is struggling in all the blue wall states, but you know who else is struggling?
00:05:22.000You know why? Because, you know, they've been trying to get away with some fibs.

00:06:25.000The Wall Street Journal reporting just yesterday.
00:06:28.000Harris struggling to break through with working class Democrats fear.
00:06:32.000According to the Wall Street Journal, Democrats have privately grown worried about Kamala Harris' standing among working class voters in the crucial blue wall states, particularly in Michigan.
00:06:41.000Donald Trump has assiduously courted union members and non-college educated white voters with a message focused on high cost manufacturing and the threat of China to the United States economy.
00:06:49.000Senior Democrats, including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, want a sharper economic appeal from Harris and have conveyed those concerns to her campaign, according to people familiar with the conversations.
00:06:58.000The problem is not overt appeals to auto workers and blue-collar workers.
00:07:02.000That is not what is going to change the complexion of this campaign.
00:07:05.000There is a culture war that has been going on in this country, and that culture war is clearly evident and obvious.
00:07:12.000Okay, that culture war can be summed up in, for example, what Donald Trump has been doing over the course of the last week.
00:07:17.000First of all, Kamala Harris has been doing over the course of the last week.
00:07:19.000So Donald Trump has been going and doing rallies in the blue wall states.
00:07:22.000He's then been going on shows like this one, a conservative podcast, for example, or he's been going on Fox News, or he's been going out and he's been talking with people in blue states that are blue wall states, but with actual normal voters.
00:07:37.000Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has basically picked up and jet-setted to every single left-wing, cultural glitterati elite show she can find.
00:07:47.000There's a vast culture gap between the kinds of people that Donald Trump is appealing to and the kinds of people that Kamala Harris is appealing to.
00:07:56.000And when you add on top of that the fact that she seems to be a self-glorifying, absolute empty suit, that is not a good look.
00:08:04.000By the way, I will point out at this point that the person who wants Kamala Harris to lose worse than anybody in America, apparently, is Joe Biden.
00:08:10.000Joe Biden wants her to lose. Joe Biden is angry he got pushed out of the race.
00:08:13.000He believes he'd be running stronger against Donald Trump than she would.
00:08:16.000And there is some evidence to that effect.
00:08:19.000That's the only reason I can imagine Joe Biden doing what he did yesterday.
00:08:22.000So Kamala Harris, she had suggested that Governor Ron DeSantis had done something deeply wrong.
00:08:27.000He's busy handling one of the worst hurricanes headed for Florida in modern history.
00:08:33.000And she's pissed because apparently he didn't pick up the phone when she called.
00:08:37.000And then DeSantis said, well, I didn't even know she called, but why exactly would I be dealing with her right now?
00:08:42.000She literally has never called about any hurricane ever.
00:08:45.000Literally ever. Why is she the center of this story?
00:08:49.000And then she said, well, DeSantis is obviously selfish and not doing what he needs to do for the people of Florida.
00:08:53.000Here is Joe Biden absolutely undercutting her, just taking her legs out right from under her yesterday.
00:08:58.000The governor of Florida has been cooperative.
00:09:02.000He said he's gotten all that he needs.
00:09:17.000There was a rough start in some places, but every governor, every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative and supportive and acknowledged what this team is doing.
00:09:43.000She's an elite West Coast left winger from San Francisco and then Montreal and then back to California where she lived in coastal enclaves, living the high life and drinking Chardonnay at 2 p.m.
00:09:56.000until she was made Vice President of the United States.
00:09:57.000That appears to be the image that she is cultivating.
00:10:00.000And I'm not sure why she thinks that is good for her.
00:10:03.000I assume that she believes that if she just runs up the vote with suburban white women by talking about abortion on podcasts that only women listen to, that this will magically...
00:10:12.000Spur her to victory. But here's the problem.
00:10:15.000She's digging where she already has the gold.
00:10:17.000There's nothing else to be found there.
00:10:19.000She's mining where there is no one else.
00:10:23.000So, yesterday, for example, over the last few days, she has done the following shows.
00:10:27.000Call Her Daddy, The View, Howard Stern, and Stephen Colbert.
00:10:32.000Please, number me, the swing voters who watch those shows.
00:10:36.000Number me the swing voters who watch those shows.
00:10:37.000She only did one show in which swing voters actually watch.
00:10:41.000That would be 60 Minutes. And on 60 Minutes, she made a buffoon of herself, as we discussed yesterday on the show.
00:10:45.000In fact, it was so bad on 60 Minutes that 60 Minutes went out of its way to try and cover for her.
00:10:52.000So, 60 Minutes released a clip of an answer that she gave about Israel online before the actual show aired.
00:11:01.000And then when it came to the actual answer that was aired on TV, they edited it.
00:11:06.000So here are these two clips back to back to show you how 60 Minutes is trying to cover for her.
00:11:10.000But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:11:15.000Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of There were movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
00:11:37.000But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:11:41.000We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.
00:11:50.000Okay, those are those two clips back-to-back.
00:11:52.000So you can hear. The unedited version is a minute of nonsense.
00:11:55.000In the edited version, they took one sentence out of context and then placed it next to the question.
00:11:59.000This is how hard the media are trying to cover for her.
00:12:01.000And don't worry, we'll get to CBS News a little later in the show because CBS News is a disgrace to journalism, truly.
00:12:09.000She cannot hold her own on any show where she is asked even a simple question.
00:12:13.000She cannot. And so she has to go among allies and then just answer those questions from her allies.
00:12:19.000When Kamala Harris' strategy apparently is to appeal to blue-collar men by going on allies who mainly appeal to single white ladies, not sure it's going to work, but let's talk about something that does work, efficient business finance management.
00:12:30.000You want to know how to run your company's finances smoother than a well-oiled machine.
00:12:33.000Check out Ramp. Ramp is a corporate card and spend management software designed to help you save time and put money back in your pocket.

00:12:43.000You can issue cards to every employee with actual limits and restrictions, a novel concept in today's world of runaway expenses.

00:13:22.000Cards issued by Sutton Bank member FDIC. Terms and conditions do apply.
00:13:25.000That's ramp.com slash Shapiro to get started.
00:13:28.000Okay, well, here's the thing. If she's running behind right now, if the people she needs to win over are white, blue-collar men, for example, or a heavier share of seniors, She ain't gonna do that by going on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
00:13:40.000And you can tell who she's trying to appeal to.
00:14:01.000Among a certain constituency, they are hiding her, for good reason, from any show where she has to answer questions like she did with Bill Whitaker.
00:14:08.000And instead, they're putting her on with Alex Cooper.
00:14:13.000Alex Cooper, who is famous for making episodes like Wiz Khalifa, It's Not Cute to Cry, and of course, Hannah Berner, Al Dente, and Faking Dirty Talk, or My Mom Found My Nudes.
00:14:26.000So that is who Kamala Harris sits with to discuss serious policy issues, is Alex Cooper, who's basically famous for being a very good-looking woman who talks about extreme details of sexual activity.
00:14:39.000Like, slow clap for Kamala Harris's team here.
00:15:51.000Also, by the way, if we're not in the 1950s anymore, someone should ask her why her husband beats the s*** out of ladies, apparently.
00:15:56.000I mean, it is absolutely incredible that there has been widely substantiated allegations that he beat up an ex-girlfriend.
00:16:05.000And that he also was sexist toward his employees, and we already know that he knocked up the nanny, and somehow Doug Emhoff and Kamala Harris are still being trotted out as a model couple.
00:16:15.000It's insane to me. You know this would not be the case if the parties were reversed.
00:16:19.000If this were, say, Sarah Huckabee Sanders running for president, and it turned out her husband had hit an ex-girlfriend.
00:16:26.000By multiple testimony and knocked up the nanny, that'd be the end of Sarah Huckabee Sanders' campaign.
00:16:31.000You know it would be. The media are completely ignoring it.
00:16:36.000According to the UK Daily Mail, Kamala Harris' husband was inappropriate and misogynistic at work, according to his former colleagues.
00:16:42.000Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at the former firm Venable say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him, and took only young, attractive associates in a limousine to a ball.
00:16:54.000A 2019 lawsuit claimed sex discrimination by other partners in the LA office Emhoff ran, and that while engaged to Harris, he hired an unqualified part-time model as a legal secretary because she was young, attractive, and friendly with the powerful men in the office.
00:17:08.000Again, this is supposedly the wife guy.
00:17:12.000Again, there are claims that he struck his ex-girlfriend in 2012 in a booze-fueled assault after a date to a star-studded gala, according to the UK Daily Mail.
00:17:21.000I noticed Alex Cooper had no questions for Kamala Harris about that, of course.
00:17:27.000And meanwhile, she decided to jet set on from Call Her Daddy,
00:17:31.000the eminent intellect of the Call Her Daddy podcast, to the geniuses over at The View,
00:17:36.000where she proceeded to drop the worst line of her campaign thus far,
00:18:01.000Well, she accidentally got pantsed by the ladies at The View yesterday.
00:18:06.000It's truly amazing. Like, they were there just to massage her, and somehow she managed to turn this massage into one of the worst moments of her campaign.
00:18:15.000She was asked if there's anything she would have done differently than Joe Biden.
00:18:19.000Now, that is a very easy question for her to answer.
00:18:21.000Really quite easy. There are many things she could say here.
00:18:24.000She could say, listen, I have nothing but respect for the man who made me vice president of the United States, and I'm proud of our record together.
00:18:30.000But, of course, there are things where, if we had known, we would have done it differently.
00:18:34.000We would have handled the Afghanistan pullout differently, because how can you say you don't have regrets when 13 American service people die at Abbey Gate?
00:18:42.000We would have done our immigration policy differently from the beginning.
00:18:46.000Because, frankly, we had no idea of the levels of illegal immigration that were going to swamp the country, and we've worked on fixing that, and I'm going to fix it going forward.
00:18:54.000Those are things she could say, but she won't do it.
00:18:58.000So instead, she gives just a gift to the Trump campaign.
00:19:01.000Here she is being asked by Sonny Hostin, what would she have done differently?
00:19:04.000She can't name a single thing, not one, which means she owns every single thing that people hate about the Biden administration.
00:19:48.000She was in the room and very important, but also she's the candidate of change.
00:19:51.000You can't argue you're the change candidate while openly admitting you are in the room for every major decision and you like all those decisions.
00:19:59.000Even the folks on CNN, who are basically wearing their Kamala pins on air at this point, even they were like, uh, that was a, what?
00:20:09.000What do you make of that? I'm surprised, frankly, that she doesn't have more to say about this, given that she and her campaign know that this is one of the main questions that voters have about her.
00:20:20.000And one of the main things she's been trying to establish as part of her candidacy is the idea that she would represent a break from the past four years and to not be able to come up with something to say in that moment.
00:20:32.000She continues to not be particularly...
00:20:35.000nimble on her feet in a lot of these interviews. And this is a very obvious question that gave
00:22:28.000Seems better. She then tried to pretend that she is an empathetic person.
00:22:31.000Now, one of the great lies of American politics is that Kamala Harris is some sort of queen of empathy.
00:22:35.000They tried to trot this out at the DNC. They brought out various Congress people to testify that one time Kamala Harris was super nice to them.
00:22:43.000Oh, my God. Well, here she was being super empathetic about the most recent hurricane.
00:22:47.000She's asked, you know, you say that Ron DeSantis didn't pick up the phone for you.
00:22:53.000And, you know, have you made a habit of, like, being involved in hurricane relief efforts?
00:22:57.000When's the last time that you were regularly involved in that?
00:22:59.000She's like, well, in the last five minutes or so.
00:23:03.000Now, he said this morning, you've never called regarding any of the storms Florida has had since you've been vice president until apparently now and called it political.
00:23:12.000Well, first of all, I have called and talked with, in the course of this crisis, this most recent crisis, Democrat and Republican governors.
00:23:23.000Called, taken the call, answered the call, had a conversation.
00:23:27.000So, obviously, this is not an issue that is about partisanship or politics for certain leaders, but maybe is for others.
00:23:39.000So, he says, we've had a bunch of hurricanes, a bunch of natural disasters over the course of the last few years in Florida, and you are nowhere.
00:23:44.000And she's like, but I did call this time.
00:23:47.000This attempt to spin her into the captain of empathy, it's an amazing thing.
00:23:56.000Her big media tour consists of only people who already worship at the altar of Kamawa.
00:24:02.000So last night, she's on Stephen Colbert.
00:24:05.000And when I think empathy, what I think is Florida is about to get clocked with a Cat 5 hurricane.
00:24:09.000And she is on Stephen Colbert drinking beer.
00:24:13.000This is how she makes hay with the common folks.
00:24:16.000By the way, nothing appeals to blue-collar white men like watching this upper-crust elitist who clearly has never had a Miller High Life in her life pretend to be something she's not.
00:24:28.000Going to climb on a John Deere tractor next and drive around with a shotgun.
00:25:48.000Florida is about to get clocked. She is with Stephen Colbert, appealing to all those wine moms by drinking Miller High Life with Stephen Colbert and lecturing us on how the American dream is elusive right now.
00:26:03.000If the American dream is elusive right now, perhaps you might want to look at who is the vice president of the United States.
00:26:09.000It's unbelievable. She's literally campaigning against herself at this point.
00:26:14.000Frankly, Stephen, the American dream right now is really elusive for far too many people in terms of even aspiring to own a home.
00:26:23.000It's too expensive. We don't have enough housing.
00:26:24.000We have a housing shortage. So part of my plan is to work with the private sector, with builders and developers, To build 3 million more homes by the end of my first term and to give first-time homebuyers a $25,000 down payment assistance so they can just get their foot in the door to home ownership, which is the fastest and the most efficient way for people to build intergenerational wealth.
00:26:47.000These are the ways that I think about how we build up our country in a way that is about supporting the middle class.
00:29:47.000It's actually quite boring. It turns out that if your entire job, day in and day out, is just to say unbelievably horrible things to women on the air, which is Howard Stern.
00:29:58.000It used to be that Democrats looked at Howard Stern, and they're like, that guy's gross.
00:30:01.000This is yucky. The person who says this kind of stuff to women is despicable.
00:30:07.000And Republicans, being more religious, were like, yeah, that's true.
00:30:11.000And now, Howard Stern is basically your typical Democratic apparatchik, and the entire Democratic Party believes that his discussions of bodily orifices probably should be on stage at the DNC. So Howard Stern announced yesterday that he'd be voting for Kamala Harris.
00:30:23.000A shocking development from a devout New York City liberal.
00:30:27.000What an unbelievable douchebag Howard Stern is and always has been.
00:30:33.000I don't even understand how this election is close.
00:30:38.000And yes, I'm voting for you, but I would also vote for that wall over there rather than a guy who says, you know, where do I begin?
00:30:50.000I mean, maybe she might want to ask him about his treatment of women over the years.
00:30:53.000Or maybe he might want to ask her about her husband's treatment of women over the years.
00:30:56.000That might be, nope, nope, nope, nothing there.
00:31:44.000They put people who are protesting in the street in jail.
00:31:50.000Unreal. She's talking about being a dictator on day one.
00:31:53.000They literally activated the DOJ to go after their political opponents.
00:31:57.000Meanwhile, using the implements of federal law to stand up for, say, the UNRWA, an actual terror front group, Howard Stern did ask her if she would leave the country if she lost.
00:32:08.000If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country?
00:32:37.000Why is she lagging? Why is she lagging?
00:32:40.000Well, the good news is they have Tim Walz to deploy out there.
00:32:43.000That freak show to try and explain why white men should vote for the Harris-Walls submissive ticket.
00:32:51.000Here is Tim Walls joining Jimmy Kimmel, another one of our stellar comedic lights who hasn't told a joke in, what, 10 years?
00:32:58.000Trying to explain that what is his first aspiration as vice president of the United States other than just being a who trots around after Kamala Harris so she can pet him every so often for emotional comfort.
00:34:02.000Folks, it's a strategy. Is it a good strategy?
00:34:05.000Doesn't feel like it. They do, of course, have the love of the media, and the media are proving themselves each and every day to just be some of the worst people on Earth.
00:34:12.000President Trump yesterday on this show, suggested that it was time to shelve the term fake news
00:34:17.000and instead start using the term corrupt news.
00:34:19.000Hard to think of a better descriptor when it comes to CBS News.
00:35:01.000Well, you may be watching Kamala Harris's magical mystery tour of terrible left-wing shows and thinking to yourself, how could she possibly win?
00:35:08.000I understand. I have that tendency too.
00:35:10.000You watch her and she is awful at this.
00:35:13.000Truly awful. It's not just that she has no good policy positions that she can defend.
00:35:17.000It's not just that she says dumb things politically, like that she owns every Joe Biden policy.
00:35:21.000It's not just that she's radically inauthentic with regard to her politics.
00:35:26.000She's radically inauthentic all the way through.
00:36:37.000The attempt to turn Ta-Nehisi Coates into some sort of James Baldwin knockoff is absurd.
00:36:42.000Ta-Nehisi Coates is basically racialist Greta Thunberg.
00:36:46.000He's an idiot wandering the landscape in search of some sort of deep thought, spouting platitudinous nonsense in the most purple language while everybody is supposed to genuflect at the altar of Ta-Nehisi Coates.
00:36:59.000So he wrote a terrible book called Between the World and Me, That book basically is predicated on the notion that he got in an elevator with his son and there was a white dude in the elevator and he read 400 years of racism in the white man's eyes.
00:37:12.000The guy didn't say anything to him. That's who Ta-Nehisi Coates is.
00:37:14.000A person who has benefited from every privilege that Western civilization has to offer but hates Western civilization because he has in his prophetic being an understanding of the division between victim and victimizer.
00:37:28.000And his philosophy is incredibly cheap.
00:39:01.000He doesn't mention terrorism. He doesn't mention Hezbollah.
00:39:04.000He doesn't mention anything of relevance.
00:39:06.000He doesn't mention peace deals turned down by the Palestinians.
00:39:08.000Literally nothing. Because again, in Ta-Nehisi Coates' Holy fool, moral vision.
00:39:15.000The basic idea is that if he can identify who is the victim in any scenario, and he can always identify the victim, not by their activity, but by their outcome, then he can tell you who's the bad guy.
00:39:26.000And he says, this is a very clear conflict.
00:39:27.000There's a good guy and a bad guy. The good guy, those are the people who celebrate the murders of October 7th.
00:39:33.000The bad guys are the people who are attempting to stop that.
00:39:36.000That's essentially the message of The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
00:39:39.000And again, there's a bunch of factual errors in here.
00:39:42.000There's an excellent thread on Twitter by an account called Eisenberg, which is a board member for Honest Reporting, and he's written for Tablet and Fathom Journal, among others, pointing out a wide variety of basic errors.
00:39:55.000For example, Ta-Nehisi Coates suggests that Israelis regularly tour the Al-Aqsa Mosque while Palestinians are barred from the Western Wall, all of which is a lie.
00:40:04.000That is not true. Non-Muslims, I know, because I've been up there.
00:40:07.000You can watch me do it on tape with Jordan Peterson.
00:40:09.000When you go up to the Temple Mount, you have to be screened by security.
00:40:12.000You are not allowed to pray openly on the Temple Mount.
00:40:41.000Here's why this is his story. He appears on CBS News the other day.
00:40:44.000And there is a reporter for CBS Morning News named Tony Dacapil.
00:40:49.000And Tony Docapil, who has a couple of kids who live in Israel, has the temerity to point out that this is an extremist anti-Semitic book, and then asks some actual tough questions of Ta-Nehisi Coates.
00:40:57.000Here, for example, is him asking basic questions to Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Coates has no answers, because Coates is used to just saying cryptic nostrums about black and brown bodies, like a pagan incantation, and then everybody bowing before the altar of Ta-Nehisi.
00:41:19.000If Israel has a right to exist, and if your answer is no, then I guess the question becomes, why do the Palestinians have a right to exist?
00:41:27.000Why do 20 different Muslim countries have a right to exist?
00:41:30.000My answer is that no country in this world establishes its ability to exist through rights.
00:41:35.000Countries establish their ability to exist through force.
00:41:37.000But you write a book that delegitimizes the pillars of Israel.
00:41:40.000It seems like an effort to topple the whole building of it.
00:41:43.000So I come back to the question, and it's what I struggle with throughout this book.
00:41:46.000What is it that so particularly offends you about the existence of a Jewish state that is a Jewish safe place and not any of the other states out there?
00:41:56.000There's nothing that offends me about a Jewish state.
00:41:58.000I am offended by the idea of states built on ethnocracy, no matter where they are.
00:42:02.000Muslim included. I would not want a state where any group of people laid down their citizenship rights based on ethnicity.
00:42:10.000Why is there no agency in this book for the Palestinians?
00:42:13.000They exist in your narrative merely as victims of the Israelis, as though they were not offered peace at any juncture, as though they don't have a stake in this as well.
00:42:20.000What is their role in the lack of a Palestinian state?
00:42:22.000I have a very, very, very, very moral compass about this.
00:42:26.000And again, perhaps it's because of my ancestry.
00:42:32.000Either what I saw was right or it's wrong.
00:42:35.000Okay, that is, those are the words of a simpleton, because Ta-Nehisi Coates is a simpleton,
00:42:39.000and he's never had to answer a basic question like, do the Palestinians have any basic responsibilities?
00:42:45.000By the way, the entire lie that he's telling, that Israel's an apartheid state, ignores the fact that there are 2 million Arab citizens of Israel.
00:42:52.000So, okay, this is a big lie, and Tony Dacopol asks him some very simple questions, and Tana Hasikot has no answers.
00:42:58.000He goes, by the way, he's very much in favor of a Palestinian state that would be completely Jew-free.
00:43:02.000So when he says he's against an ethnostate or ethnocracy or whatever, that's just a lie.
00:43:07.000It's not true. He doesn't care about Japan. It's an anti-Semitic trope.
00:43:11.000The whole thing is an anti-Semitic book.
00:43:14.000It just is. Because Ta-Nehisi Coates is, in fact, a member of a left-wing cadre that believes in this very simple and very stupid narrative.
00:43:22.000That if you are unsuccessful in life, it's because of the white superstructure or whatever.
00:43:26.000Well, CBS News clearly prizes Ta-Nehisi Coates above its own journalistic standards.
00:43:30.000But you should instead choose prize picks.

00:44:57.000Run your game. In any case, what happens?
00:45:00.000Why is this a scandal? Well, Tony Docapul does accidentally that journalism.
00:45:04.000And what happens? CBS insiders then get angry and force him to apologize.
00:45:09.000They hold a full-scale conference call in which they complain about Tony Docapul.
00:45:14.000They say that it's really terrible, very, very terrible that he did his job.
00:45:19.000The Free Press got a hold of the audio of an editorial meeting on Monday at 9 a.m., the morning of October 7th, by the way.
00:45:26.000Where the network's top brass got on the line and basically apologized for Tony Dockable asking Ta-Nehisi Coates questions.
00:45:32.000You're not allowed to do that. When the great oracle comes from on high to discuss his total trash piece of crap book, then you either genuflect or get out Tony Dockable.
00:45:43.000Because he's an idol. He's an untouchable.
00:45:47.000You cannot. After being introduced by Wendy McMahon, the head of CBS News, Adrienne Rourke, in charge of news gathering at the network, began her remarks by saying covering a story like October 7th requires empathy, respect, and a commitment to truth.
00:45:58.000And then she says, we'll still ask tough questions.
00:46:00.000We'll still hold people accountable, but we'll do so objectively.
00:46:03.000And then she says that they failed their audience.
00:46:28.000Many of you have reached out to express concerns over recent reporting.
00:46:34.000Specifically about the CBS Mornings Coates interview from last week, as well as comments made coming out of some of our correspondence reporting.
00:46:43.000I want to thank every single one who reached out for your honesty, your transparency, and your commitment.
00:47:38.000She said, Again, there was nothing wrong with the Coats interview.
00:48:09.000Nothing. But CBS basically apologized for it.
00:48:12.000They then called in a DEI expert, a doctor named Donald Grant, to moderate a conversation over mental health, DEI, and trauma based on this interview.
00:48:25.000By the way, that particular DEI expert Has posted on public media about Magicide, what he calls Magicide, death of a nation caused by injuring said nation with the intent to destroy through adoption of insidious policies.
00:48:40.000Posted a meme of Tim Scott as Uncle Tim's Cabin.
00:48:48.000And put up a graphic of a person holding a sign that says, Dear white people, stop using Dr.
00:48:52.000King as an example of peaceful protest.
00:48:54.000You shot him too. That is the person they brought in.
00:49:00.000Sherry Redstone. Who is, of course, the controlling shareholder of Paramount Global, which owns CBS, conveyed to CBS executives she disagreed with how the situation was handled.
00:49:09.000She's right about that. But again, this is how it works in the halls of the legacy media.
00:49:14.000This is how it works. I remember just a couple of years ago, I was asked to write the beloved, sanctified Politico playbook.
00:49:21.000So I wrote a piece about Donald Trump's appeal.
00:49:23.000And the blowback was so great they had to have full-scale struggle sessions with hundreds of employees on the line to apologize for the grave sin of allowing the political playbook to be sullied by my presence.
00:49:43.000So when you wonder why it is that Kamala Harris is still competitive despite being an awful, terrible candidate, the answer is the same people at CBS News who are apologizing for asking the beloved icon of stupidity Ta-Nehisi Coates some actual questions.
00:49:56.000Those same people are in the back room manipulating the news coverage of Kamala Harris, including on shows like 60 Minutes.
00:50:03.000All right, coming up, we'll jump into the shocking reality of Joe Biden's hatred, hatred for Israel defending itself.
