00:00:05.000 We have seven swing states that are all essentially tied, but Donald Trump does have the momentum.

00:00:11.000 We're going to talk about all of that, plus Kamala Harris's magical mystery tour of irrelevant left-wing shows in a moment.

00:00:44.000 Brand new polling out of the three blue wall states.

00:00:47.000 The blue wall is Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.

00:00:50.000 Kamala Harris needs to hold all three of those.

00:00:52.000 Assuming that Donald Trump wins North Carolina, which I think he will.

00:00:55.000 Assuming he wins Georgia, which I believe he will.

00:00:57.000 Assuming that he wins Arizona, which it looks like he is on track to do.

00:01:00.000 If he does that, then he still needs to crack the so-called blue wall.

00:01:04.000 Those are those same three states.

00:01:06.000 It always seems to come down to those three states in these elections.

00:01:10.000 Well, that problem still exists.

00:01:22.000 The latest polling data from Pennsylvania.

00:01:24.000 Of the last five polls, Donald Trump is tied in two and ahead in three.

00:01:29.000 Fox News has Donald Trump tied at 49%.

00:01:31.000 Atlas Intel has Trump plus three.

00:01:33.000 Trafalgar has Trump plus three.

00:01:35.000 Emerson has a tie. Insider Advantage has Trump plus two in Pennsylvania.

00:01:39.000 Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, this race has gotten a lot closer over the course of the last few weeks.

00:01:44.000 The last three polls.

00:01:47.000 From Atlas, Trump plus two.

00:01:48.000 New York Times-Siena, Harris plus two.

00:01:51.000 Trafalgar, Trump plus one.

00:01:53.000 It's a lot narrower than it was just a few weeks ago.

00:01:55.000 And, 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.

00:02:04.000 We campaigned with Eric just last week in Wisconsin's terrific candidate.

00:02:07.000 He'll make a great senator from the state of Wisconsin.

00:02:09.000 Meanwhile, over in Michigan, Kamala's having some real struggles. 0.98

00:02:13.000 There'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.

00:02:31.000 But in the last four polls, Atlas Intel has Trump up plus four in Michigan.

00:02:37.000 New York Times-Siena has Harris plus one.

00:02:38.000 Again, that's margin of error. Trafalgar has Trump plus two.

00:02:41.000 And Mears, Michigan news source, has Trump plus one.

00:02:45.000 In other words, these are very close states, but Trump seems to be picking up some momentum.

00:02:50.000 Not 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.

00:03:01.000 I 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.

00:03:08.000 As soon as Kamala Harris got in, it flipped, and suddenly Trump was winning those union members 60 to 40. 0.96

00:03:14.000 Which leads me to my theory that there is a very large and very quiet male pro-Trump vote.

00:03:21.000 That men, particularly blue-collar white men, look at Kamala Harris and they see someone who disdains traditional masculinity.

00:03:27.000 And 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.

00:03:51.000 Politico has an entire piece today titled, The Latest Union Snub for Harris and Walls Underscores a Bigger Problem for Their Campaign.

00:03:58.000 They 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.

00:04:11.000 To 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.

00:04:19.000 On the campaign trail, the governor frequently talks up Harris' role in the most pro-union U.S. administration in history under Joe Biden.

00:04:27.000 So the UAW is backing Harris and Walls.

00:04:29.000 So is the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers.

00:04:31.000 But that does not mean that the members of those unions are going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.

00:04:38.000 And that's not because Harris and Walls are not pro-union.

00:04:41.000 They are, in fact, pro-union.

00:04:43.000 Essentially sycophants to the labor unions.

00:04:45.000 That is because the people who actually work and are members of unions don't necessarily vote just because they're members of unions.

00:04:53.000 They 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.

00:05:08.000 And 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. 0.99

00:05:16.000 So Kamala is struggling in all the blue wall states, but you know who else is struggling?

00:05:20.000 All the other phone companies.

00:05:22.000 You know why? Because, you know, they've been trying to get away with some fibs.

00:06:25.000 The Wall Street Journal reporting just yesterday.

00:06:28.000 Harris struggling to break through with working class Democrats fear.

00:06:32.000 According 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. 0.99

00:06:41.000 Donald 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.

00:06:49.000 Senior 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.

00:06:57.000 But that's not the problem.

00:06:58.000 The problem is not overt appeals to auto workers and blue-collar workers.

00:07:02.000 That is not what is going to change the complexion of this campaign.

00:07:05.000 There is a culture war that has been going on in this country, and that culture war is clearly evident and obvious.

00:07:12.000 Okay, that culture war can be summed up in, for example, what Donald Trump has been doing over the course of the last week.

00:07:17.000 First of all, Kamala Harris has been doing over the course of the last week.

00:07:19.000 So Donald Trump has been going and doing rallies in the blue wall states.

00:07:22.000 He'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.

00:07:37.000 Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has basically picked up and jet-setted to every single left-wing, cultural glitterati elite show she can find. 1.00

00:07:47.000 There'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.

00:07:56.000 And 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.

00:08:04.000 By 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.

00:08:10.000 Joe Biden wants her to lose. Joe Biden is angry he got pushed out of the race.

00:08:13.000 He believes he'd be running stronger against Donald Trump than she would.

00:08:16.000 And there is some evidence to that effect.

00:08:19.000 That's the only reason I can imagine Joe Biden doing what he did yesterday.

00:08:22.000 So Kamala Harris, she had suggested that Governor Ron DeSantis had done something deeply wrong.

00:08:27.000 He's busy handling one of the worst hurricanes headed for Florida in modern history.

00:08:33.000 And she's pissed because apparently he didn't pick up the phone when she called.

00:08:37.000 And then DeSantis said, well, I didn't even know she called, but why exactly would I be dealing with her right now?

00:08:42.000 She literally has never called about any hurricane ever.

00:08:45.000 Literally ever. Why is she the center of this story?

00:08:49.000 And then she said, well, DeSantis is obviously selfish and not doing what he needs to do for the people of Florida.

00:08:53.000 Here is Joe Biden absolutely undercutting her, just taking her legs out right from under her yesterday.

00:08:58.000 The governor of Florida has been cooperative.

00:09:02.000 He said he's gotten all that he needs.

00:09:03.000 I talked to him again yesterday.

00:09:05.000 And I said, no, you're doing a great job.

00:09:09.000 It's all being done well.

00:09:11.000 We thank you for it.

00:09:12.000 And I literally gave my personal phone number to call.

00:09:15.000 So I don't know.

00:09:17.000 There 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.

00:09:29.000 And they're doing an incredible job.

00:09:32.000 Okay, so he says the Sands is doing a fine job, which is the opposite of what Harris is saying.

00:09:37.000 So let's just say this.

00:09:39.000 Kamala Harris is out of touch. She's always out of touch. 1.00

00:09:41.000 She's always been out of touch.

00:09:43.000 She'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. 0.87

00:09:56.000 until she was made Vice President of the United States. 1.00

00:09:57.000 That appears to be the image that she is cultivating.

00:10:00.000 And I'm not sure why she thinks that is good for her.

00:10:03.000 I 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... 0.71

00:10:12.000 Spur her to victory. But here's the problem.

00:10:15.000 She's digging where she already has the gold. 1.00

00:10:17.000 There's nothing else to be found there.

00:10:19.000 She's mining where there is no one else. 0.96

00:10:23.000 So, yesterday, for example, over the last few days, she has done the following shows.

00:10:27.000 Call Her Daddy, The View, Howard Stern, and Stephen Colbert.

00:10:32.000 Please, number me, the swing voters who watch those shows.

00:10:36.000 Number me the swing voters who watch those shows.

00:10:37.000 She only did one show in which swing voters actually watch.

00:10:41.000 That would be 60 Minutes. And on 60 Minutes, she made a buffoon of herself, as we discussed yesterday on the show. 1.00

00:10:45.000 In fact, it was so bad on 60 Minutes that 60 Minutes went out of its way to try and cover for her.

00:10:52.000 So, 60 Minutes released a clip of an answer that she gave about Israel online before the actual show aired.

00:11:01.000 And then when it came to the actual answer that was aired on TV, they edited it.

00:11:06.000 So here are these two clips back to back to show you how 60 Minutes is trying to cover for her.

00:11:10.000 But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

00:11:15.000 Well, 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.

00:11:37.000 But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

00:11:41.000 We'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.

00:11:50.000 Okay, those are those two clips back-to-back.

00:11:52.000 So you can hear. The unedited version is a minute of nonsense. 0.52

00:11:55.000 In the edited version, they took one sentence out of context and then placed it next to the question.

00:11:59.000 This is how hard the media are trying to cover for her. 1.00

00:12:01.000 And don't worry, we'll get to CBS News a little later in the show because CBS News is a disgrace to journalism, truly.

00:12:07.000 But, this is the thing.

00:12:09.000 She cannot hold her own on any show where she is asked even a simple question.

00:12:13.000 She cannot. And so she has to go among allies and then just answer those questions from her allies.

00:12:19.000 When 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. 1.00

00:13:28.000 Okay, 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.

00:13:40.000 And you can tell who she's trying to appeal to.

00:13:42.000 Single white women. 0.99

00:13:43.000 That's it. It's single white women. 1.00

00:13:45.000 All the way down. Single white women. 1.00

00:13:47.000 That's all. That's her entire campaign. 0.97

00:13:50.000 Hillary Clinton tried to run this campaign in 2016. 0.99

00:13:52.000 It did not go well for her.

00:13:54.000 I know that people on the left are celebrating the fact that Call Her Daddy has big numbers.

00:13:57.000 Yes, among a certain constituency.

00:14:01.000 Among 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.

00:14:08.000 And instead, they're putting her on with Alex Cooper.

00:14:13.000 Alex 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.

00:14:26.000 So 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. 1.00

00:14:39.000 Like, slow clap for Kamala Harris's team here. 0.89

00:14:42.000 This is a big win. It's a big win.

00:14:44.000 Here she was, trying to campaign for all the single ladies. 1.00

00:14:48.000 I saw the governor of Arkansas said, my kids keep me humble.

00:14:54.000 Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble. 1.00

00:14:58.000 How did that make you feel?

00:15:00.000 I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble.

00:15:12.000 Two, a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life. 1.00

00:15:22.000 And I think it's really important for women to lift each other up. 1.00

00:15:27.000 Family comes in many forms, and I think that increasingly You know, all of us understand that this is not the 1950s anymore.

00:15:39.000 Families come in all kinds of shapes and forms, and they're family nonetheless.

00:15:45.000 Kamala Harris on the Call Her Daddy podcast doing monologues from Robin Williams' Mrs.

00:15:49.000 Doubtfire. Right there.

00:15:51.000 Also, 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. 1.00

00:15:56.000 I mean, it is absolutely incredible that there has been widely substantiated allegations that he beat up an ex-girlfriend.

00:16:05.000 And 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.

00:16:15.000 It's insane to me. You know this would not be the case if the parties were reversed.

00:16:19.000 If this were, say, Sarah Huckabee Sanders running for president, and it turned out her husband had hit an ex-girlfriend.

00:16:26.000 By multiple testimony and knocked up the nanny, that'd be the end of Sarah Huckabee Sanders' campaign. 1.00

00:16:31.000 You know it would be. The media are completely ignoring it.

00:16:34.000 It's absolutely astonishing.

00:16:36.000 According to the UK Daily Mail, Kamala Harris' husband was inappropriate and misogynistic at work, according to his former colleagues.

00:16:42.000 Attorneys 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.

00:16:54.000 A 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. 0.58

00:17:08.000 Again, this is supposedly the wife guy.

00:17:12.000 Again, 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.

00:17:21.000 I noticed Alex Cooper had no questions for Kamala Harris about that, of course.

00:17:27.000 And meanwhile, she decided to jet set on from Call Her Daddy,

00:17:31.000 the eminent intellect of the Call Her Daddy podcast, to the geniuses over at The View,

00:17:36.000 where she proceeded to drop the worst line of her campaign thus far, 1.00

00:17:40.000 which is saying an awful lot.

00:17:41.000 This has not been a very good campaign.

00:17:42.000 The first few weeks went well, because basically she just went around and did a little

00:17:46.000 dance, sang a little song, got Tim Walz out there, 1.00

00:17:50.000 clapping like an idiot, like a seal. 1.00

00:17:51.000 And that was great for like a few weeks. 1.00

00:17:55.000 And then the vibe machine ran low.

00:17:57.000 And ever since, it's been kind of a rough ride for Kamala Harris, 0.85

00:18:00.000 to be honest with you.

00:18:01.000 Well, she accidentally got pantsed by the ladies at The View yesterday. 0.99

00:18:06.000 It'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. 1.00

00:18:15.000 She was asked if there's anything she would have done differently than Joe Biden.

00:18:19.000 Now, that is a very easy question for her to answer.

00:18:21.000 Really quite easy. There are many things she could say here.

00:18:24.000 She 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.

00:18:30.000 But, of course, there are things where, if we had known, we would have done it differently.

00:18:34.000 We 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?

00:18:42.000 We would have done our immigration policy differently from the beginning.

00:18:46.000 Because, 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.

00:18:54.000 Those are things she could say, but she won't do it.

00:18:58.000 So instead, she gives just a gift to the Trump campaign.

00:19:01.000 Here she is being asked by Sonny Hostin, what would she have done differently?

00:19:04.000 She can't name a single thing, not one, which means she owns every single thing that people hate about the Biden administration.

00:19:10.000 She owns every single bit of it.

00:19:14.000 Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?

00:19:20.000 There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.

00:19:30.000 Okay, just cut that, stamp it, put it on every film reel across the country, every single ad across the country.

00:19:37.000 She can't think of a single...

00:19:38.000 And not only that, she was part of every decision.

00:19:40.000 So every bad thing that's happening in the country is her. 0.89

00:19:43.000 Her entire campaign has been an attempt to pretend that she's a change candidate. 0.72

00:19:47.000 She wants it both ways.

00:19:48.000 She was in the room and very important, but also she's the candidate of change.

00:19:51.000 You 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.

00:19:59.000 Even 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?

00:20:06.000 Whoops! Whoops!

00:20:09.000 What 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. 0.86

00:20:20.000 And 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.

00:20:32.000 She continues to not be particularly...

00:20:35.000 nimble on her feet in a lot of these interviews. And this is a very obvious question that gave

00:20:39.000 her an opportunity, frankly.

00:20:40.000 Whoopsie whoopsie whoopsie whoopsie. Even Xi'an's like, oh, she's not good at this. 0.97

00:20:47.000 Kamala is totally inauthentic. But if you want an authentic educational experience, 0.95

00:20:50.000 you need to check out Grand Canyon University. It's a private Christian 1.00

00:21:41.000 Then she tried to explain how she's different from Joe Biden.

00:21:44.000 And what she came up with is, we have different physical bodies.

00:21:47.000 Yeah, we noticed. Like, yeah, great.

00:21:50.000 Like, congratulations to you, lady.

00:21:53.000 What do you think would be the biggest specific difference between your presidency and a Biden presidency?

00:22:02.000 Well, we're obviously two different people, and we have a lot of shared life experiences.

00:22:08.000 For example, the way we feel about our family and our parents and so on.

00:22:12.000 But we're also different people, and I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead.

00:22:20.000 That's revelatory.

00:22:21.000 That's extremely revelatory.

00:22:23.000 You're different people. Wow.

00:22:25.000 I feel sanguine about that now.

00:22:28.000 Seems better. She then tried to pretend that she is an empathetic person.

00:22:31.000 Now, one of the great lies of American politics is that Kamala Harris is some sort of queen of empathy. 1.00

00:22:35.000 They 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.

00:22:43.000 Oh, my God. Well, here she was being super empathetic about the most recent hurricane.

00:22:47.000 She's asked, you know, you say that Ron DeSantis didn't pick up the phone for you.

00:22:53.000 And, you know, have you made a habit of, like, being involved in hurricane relief efforts?

00:22:57.000 When's the last time that you were regularly involved in that?

00:22:59.000 She's like, well, in the last five minutes or so.

00:23:03.000 Now, 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.

00:23:10.000 What's your response to that?

00:23:12.000 Well, first of all, I have called and talked with, in the course of this crisis, this most recent crisis, Democrat and Republican governors.

00:23:23.000 Called, taken the call, answered the call, had a conversation.

00:23:27.000 So, obviously, this is not an issue that is about partisanship or politics for certain leaders, but maybe is for others.

00:23:38.000 That's the most absurd.

00:23:39.000 So, 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.

00:23:44.000 And she's like, but I did call this time.

00:23:47.000 This attempt to spin her into the captain of empathy, it's an amazing thing.

00:23:51.000 And speaking of lack of empathy...

00:23:53.000 She then went on Stephen Colbert.

00:23:55.000 So again, she's doing this big tour.

00:23:56.000 Her big media tour consists of only people who already worship at the altar of Kamawa. 0.89

00:24:02.000 So last night, she's on Stephen Colbert.

00:24:05.000 And when I think empathy, what I think is Florida is about to get clocked with a Cat 5 hurricane.

00:24:09.000 And she is on Stephen Colbert drinking beer.

00:24:13.000 This is how she makes hay with the common folks. 1.00

00:24:16.000 By 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.

00:24:28.000 Going to climb on a John Deere tractor next and drive around with a shotgun.

00:24:32.000 Probably going to adopt the accent.

00:24:34.000 She's going to code switch here. So here she is with Stephen Colbert, the two most defeat people in America, drinking Miller High Life.

00:24:41.000 I mean, we all know what she actually is doing, drinking rosé at 2 p.m. 0.99

00:24:44.000 But, okay, let's pretend with Kamala Harris here. 1.00

00:24:47.000 This is what empathy looks like.

00:24:48.000 Hurricane about to slam the coast, she's drinking beer with Colbert.

00:24:52.000 But elections, I think, are won on vibes because one of the old saws is, they just want somebody they can have a beer with.

00:24:58.000 So, would you like to have a beer with me so I can tell people what that's like?

00:25:02.000 Okay. This was...

00:25:04.000 Now, we asked ahead of time, because I can't just be giving a drink to the Vice President of the United States, but I'd ask...

00:25:09.000 You asked for Miller High Life.

00:25:11.000 You asked for Miller High Life.

00:25:13.000 I'm just curious.

00:25:15.000 Okay, the last time I had beer was at a baseball game with Doug.

00:25:20.000 Okay, so cheers. Okay, cheers.

00:25:22.000 There you go. Ooh.

00:25:29.000 Wow, she's really chugging it there. 1.00

00:25:30.000 It's like the beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

00:25:33.000 The champagne of beers. There you go.

00:25:37.000 Wow, she can even read the label.

00:25:39.000 Absolutely and probably should have asked her when's the last time she finished off a bottle of wine herself.

00:25:43.000 In any case, that seems like empathy right now.

00:25:45.000 People are suffering in the country.

00:25:46.000 North Carolina is still underwater.

00:25:48.000 Florida 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.

00:26:01.000 Again, she is just a factory of gas.

00:26:03.000 If the American dream is elusive right now, perhaps you might want to look at who is the vice president of the United States.

00:26:09.000 It's unbelievable. She's literally campaigning against herself at this point.

00:26:14.000 Frankly, Stephen, the American dream right now is really elusive for far too many people in terms of even aspiring to own a home.

00:26:23.000 It's too expensive. We don't have enough housing.

00:26:24.000 We 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.

00:26:47.000 These are the ways that I think about how we build up our country in a way that is about supporting the middle class.

00:26:55.000 I come from the middle class.

00:26:56.000 I'm never going to forget where I come from.

00:26:58.000 Oh, God. Oh, my God.

00:27:02.000 You know where she never talks about where she came from?

00:27:03.000 Montreal! It's where she grew up.

00:27:07.000 Go to Canada, lady. 1.00

00:27:08.000 I mean, seriously, this is, the American dream is elusive right now.

00:27:12.000 Here's some free cash that comes from somebody else.

00:27:15.000 Kamala Harris keeps talking about how the American dream is elusive.

00:27:17.000 She's the current vice president of the United States. 1.00

00:27:20.000 I mean, honestly, we should fire her if she's that bad at her job. 1.00

00:27:22.000 But you know, HR issues, they're rough.

00:27:24.000 When I started The Daily Wire, the biggest question mark was what we would do for HR.

00:27:27.000 We were so focused on creating engaging content, it was difficult to find a managing professional

00:27:31.000 capable of handling the day-to-day HR tasks.

00:27:33.000 If this sounds like you, you need to talk to my friends over at Bambi.

00:28:18.000 Bambee dot com.

00:28:19.000 Type Ben Shapiro under podcast.

00:28:21.000 But the important thing is that the Colbert audience knows how to pronounce Kamala's name.

00:28:24.000 Again, it's all vibes, and there's nothing there.

00:28:26.000 There is nothing there.

00:28:27.000 And the American people increasingly are not happy with there being nothing there.

00:28:30.000 They already have nothing there. Joe Biden's been dead for months.

00:28:33.000 And meanwhile, their stand-in is an empty hot air balloon of a human.

00:28:37.000 Here we go. That's a campaign rally.

00:28:46.000 at her campaign rally at Colbert.

00:28:48.000 Thank you all, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank

00:28:53.000 you, I'm very excited, thank you.

00:28:56.000 She's winning newcomers over there at her campaign rally on Stephen Colbert.

00:28:59.000 I noticed that a whole lot of people know how to pronounce my name.

00:29:02.000 name.

00:29:03.000 Ha ha ha.

00:29:03.000 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

00:29:06.000 She is hilarious. My goodness. 0.98

00:29:08.000 It's like watching Louis C.K. up there.

00:29:10.000 Just, just, wow. She kind of capped her tour with yet another Call Her Daddy, but this one is supposed to be for males.

00:29:16.000 The problem is that Howard Stern is no longer relevant to the American political conversation.

00:29:21.000 He's no longer relevant at all.

00:29:23.000 Howard Stern, how old is Howard Stern right now?

00:29:24.000 127 years old?

00:29:26.000 Howard Stern is currently 70 years old. 1.00

00:29:29.000 That old f***ing perv. He's 70 years old. 0.99

00:29:33.000 And he's still talking about bodily orifices.

00:29:35.000 At a certain point, gentlemen, it's time to grow up.

00:29:39.000 Howard Stern was always a fake transgressive.

00:29:42.000 By a fake transgressive, I mean he never really said anything transgressive. 0.96

00:29:44.000 He just talked about sex a lot.

00:29:45.000 Which is not all that transgressive.

00:29:47.000 It'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.

00:29:55.000 It's incredible how this has shifted. 0.66

00:29:58.000 It used to be that Democrats looked at Howard Stern, and they're like, that guy's gross. 0.91

00:30:01.000 This is yucky. The person who says this kind of stuff to women is despicable. 0.99

00:30:07.000 And Republicans, being more religious, were like, yeah, that's true. 0.93

00:30:11.000 And 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.

00:30:23.000 A shocking development from a devout New York City liberal.

00:30:27.000 What an unbelievable douchebag Howard Stern is and always has been.

00:30:33.000 I don't even understand how this election is close. 0.78

00:30:38.000 And 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?

00:30:50.000 I mean, maybe she might want to ask him about his treatment of women over the years.

00:30:53.000 Or maybe he might want to ask her about her husband's treatment of women over the years.

00:30:56.000 That might be, nope, nope, nope, nothing there.

00:30:59.000 Okay, then they just lie a lot.

00:31:01.000 So Howard Stern, they continue to retell this lie that the Supreme Court of the United States says

00:31:08.000 that Donald Trump can do literally anything he wants as president of the United States,

00:31:11.000 including drone his political opponents. Which if it were true, it would be weird,

00:31:15.000 because that means that Joe Biden could theoretically just order the droning or 0.97

00:31:18.000 seal Team Six to kill Donald Trump. It's not true. It's never been true. It's a deliberate misread of

00:31:23.000 Supreme Court jurisprudence. But Kamala Harris is big into the lying, so not a big shock that 1.00

00:31:27.000 she and genius Howard Stern over there. Who are they appealing to? Who are they appealing to?

00:31:31.000 It's the same seven people. It's incredible. And you look at it, it's not only that.

00:31:38.000 He says he's going to be a dictator on day one.

00:31:40.000 Understand what dictators do.

00:31:42.000 They jail journalists.

00:31:44.000 They put people who are protesting in the street in jail.

00:31:50.000 Unreal. She's talking about being a dictator on day one.

00:31:53.000 They literally activated the DOJ to go after their political opponents.

00:31:57.000 Meanwhile, 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.

00:32:08.000 If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country?

00:32:13.000 Would you stay in this country?

00:32:15.000 Howard, I'm doing everything I can to make sure he does not win.

00:32:19.000 Well, you know, Howard, if he wins, I'm not saying we're all going to die.

00:32:24.000 But if he wins, I'm doing everything I can.

00:32:27.000 Because if I do not, if I do not, then I will not have grown up a middle class child.

00:32:32.000 And, you know, and that.

00:32:37.000 Why is she lagging? Why is she lagging? 0.99

00:32:40.000 Well, the good news is they have Tim Walz to deploy out there.

00:32:43.000 That freak show to try and explain why white men should vote for the Harris-Walls submissive ticket.

00:32:51.000 Here is Tim Walls joining Jimmy Kimmel, another one of our stellar comedic lights who hasn't told a joke in, what, 10 years?

00:32:58.000 Trying 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.

00:33:10.000 Here is Tim Walls.

00:33:13.000 This idea that, look, we get to turn the page on that, and I plan on waking up on November 6th with Madam President, and that's...

00:33:21.000 Well, I hope you don't like that being the same.

00:33:26.000 That'd be weird. I want to be clear, you won't be waking up together.

00:33:30.000 No. Unless you guys have gotten closer than we thought.

00:33:37.000 I have a problem about not being specific with my language, so thank you for that.

00:33:41.000 Specifically right. Yes.

00:33:45.000 What a ticket.

00:33:47.000 What a stellar conglomeration of high IQ, policy excellence, and verbal eloquence.

00:33:55.000 They're doing amazing.

00:33:57.000 This is their media tour. Their media tour is with all friendlies on the late nights.

00:34:01.000 Let's see if it works out for them.

00:34:02.000 Folks, it's a strategy. Is it a good strategy?

00:34:05.000 Doesn'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.

00:34:12.000 President Trump yesterday on this show, suggested that it was time to shelve the term fake news

00:34:17.000 and instead start using the term corrupt news.

00:34:19.000 Hard to think of a better descriptor when it comes to CBS News.

00:34:21.000 We'll get to that in just one moment.

00:35:01.000 Well, you may be watching Kamala Harris's magical mystery tour of terrible left-wing shows and thinking to yourself, how could she possibly win? 0.69

00:35:08.000 I understand. I have that tendency too.

00:35:10.000 You watch her and she is awful at this.

00:35:13.000 Truly awful. It's not just that she has no good policy positions that she can defend. 0.91

00:35:17.000 It's not just that she says dumb things politically, like that she owns every Joe Biden policy. 0.94

00:35:21.000 It's not just that she's radically inauthentic with regard to her politics. 0.98

00:35:26.000 She's radically inauthentic all the way through.

00:35:28.000 She is just a vinyl human. 0.97

00:35:30.000 She's totally inauthentic in every possible way. 0.99

00:35:32.000 And so you say to yourself, how could she possibly win?

00:35:35.000 How could she win?

00:35:36.000 No matter how much you hate Donald Trump, you know what his administration was like, 1.00

00:35:40.000 And you know what her administration is like, and it's trash. 1.00

00:35:43.000 So how? 0.98

00:35:43.000 The answer, of course, is that she always has her Praetorian Guard in the media. 0.98

00:35:48.000 There to defend her.

00:35:49.000 There to protect her.

00:35:50.000 The journalismers of our age are worth five to ten points in the polls for Kamala Harris 0.69

00:35:55.000 and for any Democrat.

00:35:56.000 And when they mobilize on behalf of one of their idolatrous icons,

00:36:00.000 it is very difficult to crack that perception.

00:36:03.000 The best example of this actually is not Kamala Harris this week.

00:36:06.000 The best example is the execrable Ta-Nehisi Coates.

00:36:09.000 Now, Ta-Nehisi Coates is an icon of the left.

00:36:13.000 He has been since Black Lives Matter days. 0.95

00:36:18.000 He's basically becoming untouchable. 1.00

00:36:20.000 His positions are morally idiotic. 1.00

00:36:23.000 His analysis is literally skin deep, meaning the only thing he seems to care about is skin color. 1.00

00:36:28.000 He has no thorough knowledge of history.

00:36:30.000 He has no thorough knowledge of politics.

00:36:32.000 He has no interest in factual discussions.

00:36:35.000 He's a terrible writer, by the way.

00:36:37.000 The attempt to turn Ta-Nehisi Coates into some sort of James Baldwin knockoff is absurd.

00:36:42.000 Ta-Nehisi Coates is basically racialist Greta Thunberg. 0.98

00:36:46.000 He'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. 0.98

00:36:59.000 So 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. 1.00

00:37:12.000 The guy didn't say anything to him. That's who Ta-Nehisi Coates is.

00:37:14.000 A 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.

00:37:28.000 And his philosophy is incredibly cheap.

00:37:30.000 You can do it in one sentence.

00:37:32.000 If you are a failure in life, it is because you are a victim of the system.

00:37:36.000 He's Ibram X. Kendi, but sort of an upgrade.

00:37:39.000 That's essentially who Ta-Nehisi Coates is, and he's been treated as though he is some sort of great intellectual.

00:37:44.000 They give him every prize they can find, millions of dollars to write terrible books.

00:37:48.000 They give him a comic book contract who's writing terrible comic books that no one read for years.

00:37:54.000 So he wrote his book Between the World and Me.

00:37:55.000 Then he went away and he wrote comic books for a while and some pretty bad fiction.

00:37:58.000 And now he is back with a brand new book called The Message.

00:38:01.000 The Message. Because he's brought it from on high, you see.

00:38:03.000 He has descended from Sinai.

00:38:04.000 I shouldn't say Sinai because he didn't like Jews very much.

00:38:06.000 He has descended from, well, somewhere.

00:38:08.000 He's descended from some holy place to bring you the word of Ta-Nehisi. 0.99

00:38:14.000 And you must not question Ta-Nehisi, despite the fact that he is, in fact, a moral cretin and an afactual dumbass. 0.99

00:38:21.000 You must never question Ta-Nehisi Coates. 0.98

00:38:23.000 He is a person who is to be treated with only respect. 0.99

00:38:28.000 He is to be treated as a great intellectual of our age, despite the fact that he is a liar. 0.95

00:38:33.000 So what is the message? The message is he went to Israel and then the West Bank for two weeks 0.74

00:38:40.000 and guess what? He knows everything there is to know about it. Like everything there is to know about it.

00:38:43.000 And you know what there is to know? What there is to know is that Palestinians are brown and victimized 0.98

00:38:47.000 and Israelis are white and evil and supremacist. That's the whole book. 1.00

00:38:51.000 It's an anti-Semitic screed that is completely fact-free.

00:38:54.000 The number of basic factual...

00:38:56.000 He doesn't mention in the entire book Hamas.

00:38:58.000 He doesn't mention in the entire book the Palestinian Authority.

00:39:00.000 He doesn't mention Yasser Arafat.

00:39:01.000 He doesn't mention terrorism. He doesn't mention Hezbollah.

00:39:04.000 He doesn't mention anything of relevance.

00:39:06.000 He doesn't mention peace deals turned down by the Palestinians.

00:39:08.000 Literally nothing. Because again, in Ta-Nehisi Coates' Holy fool, moral vision. 0.96

00:39:15.000 The 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.

00:39:26.000 And he says, this is a very clear conflict.

00:39:27.000 There's a good guy and a bad guy. The good guy, those are the people who celebrate the murders of October 7th.

00:39:33.000 The bad guys are the people who are attempting to stop that.

00:39:36.000 That's essentially the message of The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

00:39:39.000 And again, there's a bunch of factual errors in here.

00:39:42.000 There'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.

00:39:55.000 For 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.

00:40:04.000 That is not true. Non-Muslims, I know, because I've been up there. 0.99

00:40:07.000 You can watch me do it on tape with Jordan Peterson.

00:40:09.000 When you go up to the Temple Mount, you have to be screened by security.

00:40:12.000 You are not allowed to pray openly on the Temple Mount.

00:40:16.000 I can't go into the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

00:40:19.000 I'm not allowed. As a Jew, I'm not allowed.

00:40:21.000 Because the Jordanian Waqf controls the Temple Mount. 1.00

00:40:26.000 But Muslims and Christians, including the 2 million Israeli-Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, can visit the Western Wall. 0.94

00:40:33.000 And those sorts of basic factual errors that a simple Google search would have solved are replete throughout his trash book. 0.84

00:40:39.000 So anyway, he appears on CBS News.

00:40:41.000 Here's why this is his story. He appears on CBS News the other day.

00:40:44.000 And there is a reporter for CBS Morning News named Tony Dacapil.

00:40:49.000 And 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.

00:40:57.000 Here, 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.

00:41:11.000 And so he starts to get upset.

00:41:13.000 Here is Tony Docapil actually asking a question.

00:41:16.000 He accidentally did a journalism.

00:41:19.000 If 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? 1.00

00:41:27.000 Why do 20 different Muslim countries have a right to exist? 1.00

00:41:30.000 My answer is that no country in this world establishes its ability to exist through rights.

00:41:35.000 Countries establish their ability to exist through force.

00:41:37.000 But you write a book that delegitimizes the pillars of Israel.

00:41:40.000 It seems like an effort to topple the whole building of it.

00:41:43.000 So I come back to the question, and it's what I struggle with throughout this book.

00:41:46.000 What 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?

00:41:56.000 There's nothing that offends me about a Jewish state.

00:41:58.000 I am offended by the idea of states built on ethnocracy, no matter where they are.

00:42:02.000 Muslim included. I would not want a state where any group of people laid down their citizenship rights based on ethnicity. 0.91

00:42:10.000 Why is there no agency in this book for the Palestinians?

00:42:13.000 They 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.

00:42:20.000 What is their role in the lack of a Palestinian state?

00:42:22.000 I have a very, very, very, very moral compass about this.

00:42:26.000 And again, perhaps it's because of my ancestry.

00:42:28.000 A very moral compass.

00:42:29.000 Either apartheid is right or it's wrong. 0.69

00:42:31.000 It's really, really simple.

00:42:32.000 Either what I saw was right or it's wrong.

00:42:35.000 Okay, that is, those are the words of a simpleton, because Ta-Nehisi Coates is a simpleton,

00:42:39.000 and he's never had to answer a basic question like, do the Palestinians have any basic responsibilities?

00:42:45.000 By 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.

00:42:52.000 So, okay, this is a big lie, and Tony Dacopol asks him some very simple questions, and Tana Hasikot has no answers.

00:42:58.000 He goes, by the way, he's very much in favor of a Palestinian state that would be completely Jew-free. 1.00

00:43:02.000 So when he says he's against an ethnostate or ethnocracy or whatever, that's just a lie.

00:43:07.000 It's not true. He doesn't care about Japan. It's an anti-Semitic trope.

00:43:11.000 The whole thing is an anti-Semitic book.

00:43:14.000 It 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. 1.00

00:43:22.000 That if you are unsuccessful in life, it's because of the white superstructure or whatever. 0.97

00:43:26.000 Well, CBS News clearly prizes Ta-Nehisi Coates above its own journalistic standards.

00:43:30.000 But you should instead choose prize picks.

00:43:33.000 That's America's number one daily fantasy sports app with over 10 million active members.

00:43:37.000 Let me tell you, it's the best way to win real money this MLB postseason.

00:43:40.000 By the way, this postseason is wild.

00:43:42.000 Here's how it works. Pay attention because it's simpler than you might think.

00:43:44.000 You pick more or less on two- to six-player stat projections and watch the winnings roll in.

00:43:48.000 Make your picks in less than 60 seconds.

00:43:50.000 Turn your sports opinions into real money all season long.

00:43:53.000 It is that easy. One of my producers, Jake, is a huge fan of prize picks.

00:43:56.000 For tonight's baseball games, Jake picks Alex Cobb to have more than three strikeouts and

00:44:00.000 Seth Lugo to have less than four strikeouts.

00:44:02.000 He's always raving about how easy it is to make entries on all his favorite players.

00:44:05.000 Now, if you want to play alongside some big names, you can find community plays under

00:44:08.000 the promos tab.

00:44:09.000 You'll see entries from Drewski, Joe Budden, and M.A. champ Sean O'Malley.

00:44:12.000 It's a great way to see how your picks stack up against theirs.

00:44:15.000 Here's what really sets prize picks apart.

00:44:16.000 This is important.

00:44:17.000 You can win up to 100 times your money with as few as four correct picks.

00:44:20.000 That's a pretty impressive return.

00:44:21.000 Get this, they have an injury insurance policy.

00:44:23.000 So if your player leaves in the first half and doesn't return, your picks are still alive.

00:44:27.000 It's like they actually care about their members.

00:44:28.000 Speaking of members, prize picks puts them first.

00:44:30.000 All withdrawals are fast, safe, and secure.

00:44:31.000 When your picks hit, you can get your money in as fast as 15 minutes, which of course

00:44:35.000 Here's the kicker. They invented the flex play.

00:44:37.000 You can still cash out even if your lineup isn't perfect.

00:44:39.000 Double your money even if one of your picks doesn't hit.

00:44:41.000 It's like a safety net for your predictions.

00:44:43.000 Here's the best part. Right now, when you download the app and use code BEN, you get $50 instantly after you play your first $5 lineup.

00:44:49.000 That's right, $50 just for trying it out.

00:44:53.000 Remember, that's code BEN on prizepicks to get $50 instantly when you play $5 prize picks.

00:44:57.000 Run your game. In any case, what happens?

00:45:00.000 Why is this a scandal? Well, Tony Docapul does accidentally that journalism.

00:45:04.000 And what happens? CBS insiders then get angry and force him to apologize.

00:45:09.000 They hold a full-scale conference call in which they complain about Tony Docapul.

00:45:14.000 They say that it's really terrible, very, very terrible that he did his job.

00:45:19.000 The 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.

00:45:26.000 Where the network's top brass got on the line and basically apologized for Tony Dockable asking Ta-Nehisi Coates questions.

00:45:32.000 You'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. 0.97

00:45:43.000 Because he's an idol. He's an untouchable. 0.99

00:45:45.000 You must know. You must know.

00:45:47.000 You 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.

00:45:58.000 And then she says, we'll still ask tough questions.

00:46:00.000 We'll still hold people accountable, but we'll do so objectively.

00:46:03.000 And then she says that they failed their audience.

00:46:06.000 That they failed their audience.

00:46:08.000 It's amazing. Here is some of the audio of the conference call.

00:46:13.000 There are times we fail our audiences and we fail each other.

00:46:20.000 We're in one of those times right now.

00:46:22.000 And it's been growing.

00:46:24.000 And now we are at a tipping point.

00:46:28.000 Many of you have reached out to express concerns over recent reporting.

00:46:34.000 Specifically about the CBS Mornings Coates interview from last week, as well as comments made coming out of some of our correspondence reporting.

00:46:43.000 I want to thank every single one who reached out for your honesty, your transparency, and your commitment.

00:46:53.000 So I want to address three things.

00:46:55.000 Number one, after a review of our coverage, including the interview, it's clear there are times we have not met our editorial standards.

00:47:06.000 Number two, this has been addressed, and it will continue to be in the future.

00:47:13.000 And number three, I want to acknowledge and I want to say, I want to apologize that it's taken this long to have this conversation. 0.96

00:47:25.000 Pathetic. That's CBS News, which is why you should never trust CBS News with anything.

00:47:30.000 By the way, kudos to CBS reporter Jan Crawford, who's been CBS's chief legal correspondent since 2009.

00:47:36.000 She defended Dakapal on the call.

00:47:38.000 She said, Again, there was nothing wrong with the Coats interview.

00:48:09.000 Nothing. But CBS basically apologized for it.

00:48:12.000 They 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.

00:48:25.000 By 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.

00:48:40.000 Posted a meme of Tim Scott as Uncle Tim's Cabin.

00:48:48.000 And put up a graphic of a person holding a sign that says, Dear white people, stop using Dr. 0.53

00:48:52.000 King as an example of peaceful protest. 0.91

00:48:54.000 You shot him too. That is the person they brought in. 0.65

00:48:57.000 To calm the waters at CBS News.

00:49:00.000 Sherry 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.

00:49:09.000 She's right about that. But again, this is how it works in the halls of the legacy media.

00:49:13.000 And it's an important thing.

00:49:14.000 This is how it works. I remember just a couple of years ago, I was asked to write the beloved, sanctified Politico playbook.

00:49:21.000 So I wrote a piece about Donald Trump's appeal.

00:49:23.000 And 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.

00:49:34.000 This is who your journalismers are.

00:49:36.000 This is who they are.

00:49:38.000 They're not there to ask questions.

00:49:39.000 They're not there to tell hard truths.

00:49:41.000 They are there to massage. 0.98

00:49:43.000 So 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. 0.86

00:49:56.000 Those same people are in the back room manipulating the news coverage of Kamala Harris, including on shows like 60 Minutes. 0.96

00:50:03.000 All right, coming up, we'll jump into the shocking reality of Joe Biden's hatred, hatred for Israel defending itself.
