00:00:24.000First, as a Daily Wire Plus member, yet uncensored, unfiltered, ad-free shows, the latest breaking news and more, join the fight right now.
00:00:47.000In fact, This has happened to Kamala Harris before.
00:00:50.000If you remember all the way back to 2019, when she was running for President of the United States in the Democratic primaries, she did a debate.
00:00:56.000And in that debate, she suggested that Joe Biden was a racist.
00:01:00.000And she suggested that if it had not been for the rejection of Joe Biden's positions, then she would have been forced to go to a segregated school or something like that.
00:01:09.000And then she ended up reneging on all those positions, as it turns out she very frequently does.
00:01:13.000But in that hot moment, in that hot moment, Kamala Harris zoomed to the top of the Democratic polls.
00:01:20.000And suddenly it seemed as though the race was changed.
00:01:23.000And then she came back to earth because it turns out that political campaigns, relatively lengthy, a week is an incredibly long time in modern American politics.
00:01:31.000Remember, about three weeks ago, there had been no assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
00:01:38.000Joe Biden was still the Democratic nominee for president.
00:01:40.000Donald Trump had not selected a vice presidential candidate.
00:01:43.000Kamala Harris had not emerged from anywhere.
00:02:04.000I mean, it is a full-scale gaslighting.
00:02:06.000We went, in the last three months, from, Joe Biden is totally well, how dare you mention he is senile, how dare you, from the media, to, oh my god, Joe Biden is totally senile, that guy's a selfish old man, he needs to get out of the race, to, Joe Biden is like, amazing, George Washington, willing to give up power for the sake of the country.
00:02:24.000Two, Kamala Harris, I don't know, maybe Joe Biden shouldn't step down because maybe if he steps down, they get Kamala Harris.
00:02:29.000Maybe there should be an open convention.
00:02:30.000Kamala Harris is the greatest candidate in the history of American politics.
00:02:33.000That all happened in like the last two months.
00:02:36.000So remember, work a week deep into Kamala Harris's candidacy.
00:02:40.000With that said, she does have some immediate balance and momentum out the gate, which you would also expect given the fact that when you replace an actual house plant, The President of the United States, with a not-houseplant, a living human, you're bound to get some sort of bump.
00:02:55.000And when that person is intersectional, boy, the Democratic elites are gonna be so excited about that.
00:02:59.000So, there's a new set of swing state polls out from Bloomberg Morning Consult.
00:03:04.000I'm gonna take this poll with a grain of salt.
00:03:25.000And Donald Trump is winning Pennsylvania by 4.
00:03:27.000Now, if those results actually held, and let's say that Donald Trump won Georgia, then Donald Trump, presumably if he lost Arizona, would still lose the election if those results were to hold.
00:03:41.000How do you have a swing state poll in which Donald Trump is winning Pennsylvania by four, but losing Michigan by 11?
00:03:47.000Like a 15 point gap between Michigan and Pennsylvania?
00:03:50.000I find this one a little hard to believe.
00:03:52.000And morning consult polls are either genius or they're total crap.
00:03:56.000Those are the only two plausible explanations here.
00:03:59.000With that said, the levels of enthusiasm for Kamala Harris among Democrats are obviously jumping.
00:04:05.000That is not a shock, because again, when you replace a dead person with a live person, that makes a little bit of a difference.
00:04:11.000According to a new APNORCP poll, About 8 in 10 Democrats are now satisfied with Kamala Harris.
00:04:18.000That was like 4 in 10 Democrats who were satisfied when it was Joe Biden.
00:04:22.000So all the Democrats are coming home, which basically means that we are at where we were before the first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump that effectively ended both Joe Biden's candidacy and his presidency.
00:04:33.000Because let's be real about this, that dude is no longer president, he's no longer sentient, he's completely irrelevant to the public square.
00:04:39.000The only reason he is sticking around is as a sop to him, as like an elder statesman.
00:04:44.000And we're now finding out that when they do the Democratic National Convention in a couple of weeks, that the first night is going to be all about the magic of Joe Biden.
00:04:50.000He's going to give the opening speech.
00:04:52.000It's going to be about the incredible performance of the Joe Biden administration.
00:04:55.000And then it will turn into the celebrity star-studded celebration of Kamala Harris.
00:05:01.000With that said, where does the race currently stand?
00:05:03.000According to Nate Silver, who again, I think is the best poll analyst in the country, he says that right now, Kamala Harris has a better than average chance of winning the popular vote, but a worse than average chance of winning the Electoral College.
00:05:13.000According to his model, right now, Harris has about a 54% shot at winning the popular vote, because she's going to drive up the vote in big cities, particularly in blue areas.
00:05:23.000She's going to win about 47.7% of the vote.
00:05:26.000But in the Electoral College, Trump currently has about a 60-40 advantage over Kamala Harris, according to Nate Silver.
00:05:33.000So this is very much a competitive race.
00:05:37.000Harris does have some momentum, although Again, there's a new Harvard-Harris poll that came out yesterday showing Trump up four against Kamala Harris.
00:05:45.000So the polls are a little bit all over the place, still very volatile.
00:05:48.000And Kamala Harris has not been asked a single question.
00:05:50.000A lot of enthusiasm for Kamala, which is incredibly stupid because she's terrible.

00:06:43.000Head on over to PolicyGenius.com slash Shapiro.
00:09:00.000So then Kamala goes out there, and again, arena full of screaming people, very enthusiastic, obviously Democrats feeling the momentum, and she says she wants to debate Trump, she wants Donald Trump.
00:09:11.000Now, listen, the last time a Democrat tried this, it was Joe Biden, and he dared Donald Trump to debate him, and then he proceeded to physically die on the stage.
00:09:19.000So she might want to be careful what she asks for here.
00:09:23.000Democrats are playing this game where they're suggesting that Trump is running away from debate because he's not going to accept the same conditions of debate that he had with Joe Biden as he would with Kamala Harris because they are different candidates.
00:09:33.000But here is Kamala Harris trying to play this game.
00:10:19.000Not just in terms of her speech, but in terms of the crowd reaction.
00:10:22.000I don't know if the crowd is being prompted, or whether she's just using so many old bumper stickers that they know how to respond, but it's basically a call and response sermon that Kamala Harris is now doing on the campaign trail.
00:10:37.000She also decided to try out the Hillary Clinton urban accent.
00:10:43.000And when he was speaking to white audiences, he would have G's at the end of his words.
00:10:47.000Hillary Clinton would do this as well.
00:10:48.000It was really awkward with Hillary because of course she's white.
00:10:51.000Kamala Harris in Atlanta decided that it was time to start dropping a different, let's put it, a different style of speaking than she uses when she's speaking with white audiences.
00:11:03.000And you all helped us win in 2020, and we're gonna do it again in 2024!
00:11:46.000Your priority list is self-preservation, one, and two, preservation of the democratic agenda.
00:11:51.000And so that explains your behavior over the past few weeks.
00:11:54.000Self-preservation required that you go hard against Joe Biden because the minute that Joe Biden humiliated you on stage and made you feel exposed because you've been complicit in his senility, and then he exposed his senility for everyone.
00:12:06.000So either you were complicit or you had to act super duper outraged, too outraged.
00:12:44.000I understand we're supposed to play this game where she can magically take the Etch-a-Sketch, shake it up, and have brand new positions, but that seems kind of bull bleepy.
00:15:34.000Will any questions be asked about this?
00:15:35.000Or are they too busy pointing out that she's hanging out with Bigfoot over there?
00:15:40.000Meanwhile, 2019, she wanted less funding for the cops.
00:15:47.000It is wrong-headed thinking to think that the only way you're going to get communities to be safe is to put more police officers on the street.
00:15:54.000Chicago gang members now outnumber the city's police officers by 10 to 1.
00:17:22.000She looks the same because she is the same.
00:17:25.000It is incredible to me that the ads that she's putting out right now are about how she was a tough-on-crime prosecutor in San Francisco as DA.
00:17:33.000She left that job in the 2000s and she was a senator five minutes ago and she was a presidential candidate five minutes ago and the media are allowing her to run as a tough-on-crime prosecutor who apparently went straight from being San Francisco DA to a presidential candidate with nothing in between.
00:17:53.000Here is that supposedly tough-on-crime prosecutor in 2019 raising her hand when asked whether illegal immigration should be treated as a non-crime.
00:18:00.000She's saying yes, it should be treated as a non-crime to illegally immigrate.
00:18:05.000We had a very spirited debate on this stage last night on the topic of decriminalization of the border.
00:18:11.000If you'd be so kind, raise your hand if you think it should be a civil offense rather than a crime to cross a border without documentation.
00:18:20.000Can we keep our hands up so we can see them?
00:18:25.000Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris raising their hands there.
00:18:28.000Not a crime to cross the border without documentation.
00:18:31.000It's just 2019 when she suggested that private health insurance needed to be banned.
00:18:40.000So all of her fake moderate positions, they're gonna just go away the minute that they are no longer useful to her in getting elected.
00:18:47.000Here she was in 2019 suggesting that private health insurance might need to be done away with in order to achieve single-payer healthcare.
00:18:54.000So just to follow up on that, and correct me if I'm wrong, to reiterate, you support the Medicare for All bill, I think initially co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders, you're also a co-sponsor onto it.
00:19:05.000I believe it will totally eliminate private insurance.
00:19:09.000So for people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it.
00:19:13.000Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care.
00:19:17.000And you don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require.
00:19:25.000Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this?
00:19:38.000Just move on with the entire private health insurance business, which would turn America into a Canadian-style socialized healthcare system.
00:20:06.000And this is something I've taken on in California.
00:20:08.000I have a history of working on this issue.
00:20:09.000And to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the impact on the health and safety of communities.
00:20:19.000And how about 2019 when she said she wanted to ban plastic straws?
00:20:23.000And people are treating this as parodic.
00:20:25.000I didn't say she wanted to ban plastic straws.
00:20:27.000She said she wanted to ban plastic straws, which by the way, I mean, it's not like top of my voter issue list, but paper straws are the worst thing ever created by mankind.
00:20:36.000So Kamala wants to ban plastic straws.
00:20:44.000Whether you're a frequent flyer or somebody embarking, On their first flight, the effects of motion sickness can catch you off guard and ruin your travel plans, especially when you could have been prepared.
00:22:05.000So she acknowledges she's still She still wants to get rid of the plastic straws because
00:22:12.000she is a totalitarian That's what she is.
00:22:16.000And it turns out that it's not just what she was during the campaign.
00:22:20.000It's also what she was when she was VP.
00:22:22.000She bragged in 2021 about being the last person in the room making decisions with Joe Biden on Afghanistan.
00:22:28.000Afghanistan is the single worst foreign policy failure of the United States in my lifetime.
00:22:34.000Because I'm not old enough for Vietnam.
00:22:36.000And here is Kamala Harris bragging in 2021 about how she was the last person in the room with Joe Biden making those decisions, which means it's on her.
00:23:00.000President Biden always said that he wants you to be the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions, just as he was for President Obama.
00:24:04.000You'll also remember that back in 2021, Joe Biden, he put her in charge of a few things and she failed so badly at them, he decided to never put her in charge of anything ever again.
00:24:10.000In 2021, Joe Biden, In his address to a joint session of Congress, suggested that he was going to put Kamala Harris in charge of achieving high-speed internet for the American people.
00:24:22.000Here is what he said, quote, in the process, it will create thousands and thousands of good-paying jobs.
00:24:27.000It creates jobs connecting every American with high-speed internet, including 35% of the rural America that still doesn't have it.
00:24:33.000And I'm asking the vice president to lead this effort, if she would, because I know it will get done.
00:24:38.000So, question, she was put in charge of the high-speed internet dissemination, was she not?
00:24:45.000It turns out that in 2024, according to Breitbart, the Biden-Harris administration has made zero progress getting Americans connected to high-speed internet.
00:24:53.000FCC Commission Chairman Brendan Carr noted in June that Biden and Harris did not connect one American to high-speed internet.
00:25:47.000Maybe because I went to school on a school bus.
00:25:50.000Raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus, right?
00:25:55.000Now, again, that was right after Joe Biden put her in charge of the government's billion dollar investment in electric school buses.
00:26:03.000So how many electric school buses were actually created?
00:26:05.000Well, according to the Washington Free Beacon, Kamala Harris and EPA Administrator Michael Regan, through the Clean School Bus Program, used a billion dollars in federal rebates for 389 school districts across all 50 states to help deliver about 2,400 school buses.
00:26:21.000According to an analysis of federal data by the Washington Free Beacon, only 27 of those districts actually proved to the EPA that the buses were delivered.
00:26:56.000And the answer is they are too busy massaging her.
00:26:59.000They're too busy talking about how she's brat, and she's suddenly cool, and she's anti-cool, and she does TikTok dances, and all this same crap.
00:27:07.000And they did this with Obama in 2005, and they did it with Obama in 2012, and now they're trying to make Fetch happen with Kamala Harris.
00:27:14.000And the media are going to continue to try to do this.
00:27:15.000They will at some point start asking her these questions in a mild way.
00:27:18.000They wouldn't want to offend, of course.
00:27:20.000They want to be kind to the candidate they want to see win.
00:27:23.000Which brings us to the Trump campaign.
00:27:35.000Rather badly, as it turns out, because I think that the world will be set even more on fire than it already is by Kamala Harris, who is far to the left of Joe Biden and is awful on policy.
00:27:44.000So, that means it's up to the Trump campaign to start moving.
00:28:00.000He defines his opponents better than anyone in American politics.
00:28:04.000He defines them early, he does it often, he does it aggressively.
00:28:08.000The campaign needs to do it, however, on the basis of positions and issues.
00:28:12.000And Trump himself needs to do that, not just in the campaigns.
00:28:14.000He's been doing that in the campaign speeches, but in terms of advertising, in terms of blanketing the airwaves.
00:28:19.000If you go to YouTube right now, Kamala Harris is probably dropping $50 million on various ad campaigns to define her to the American people as a moderate prosecutor.
00:28:29.000The Trump campaign needs to redefine her as what she actually is, which is a radical who lies about everything.
00:28:47.000Well, most Americans don't even know who the VP is, and it turns out she's a wildly irresponsible person.
00:28:51.000Well, gentlemen, in these challenging times, our nation needs strong, responsible men more than ever.
00:28:55.000That's why Responsible Man created the Emerson Multivitamin.
00:28:59.000Not for the wimps or the woke bros, but for men of honor who actually take duty seriously.
00:29:03.000With 33 key ingredients, this American-made powerhouse supports your immune system, sharpens your mind, keeps your heart and muscles strong.
00:29:09.000It's the daily discipline that separates the men from the boys.
00:29:11.000Right now, you can get your first order of Emerson multivitamins for just $27.99.
00:29:26.000If the media won't do it, which you can't assume they will, you can't assume they'll do their jobs, then it is the job of the Trump campaign to do this.
00:29:33.000And they need to get aggressive and they need to do it right now.
00:29:35.000Because you have one opportunity to define your opponent and it's right at the outset.
00:29:47.000Because let's face it, most Americans don't follow politics closely enough to have watched the Democratic primaries in 2019.
00:29:53.000And they certainly don't watch politics closely enough to have followed what Kamala Harris has done or not done over the course of her vice presidency.
00:29:58.000Most Americans don't even know who the vice president is.
00:30:02.000And Kamala Harris is aggressively trying to redefine herself as a middle-of-the-road candidate.
00:30:06.000So she's already planning to start her swing state tour next week in Philadelphia, which of course suggests that she's going to pick the Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro.
00:30:16.000Josh Shapiro is a talented politician.
00:30:17.000He has kind of a low-rent Barack Obama impersonation on the campaign trail.
00:30:21.000He's not as good as Obama is at it because, again, he's imitating Obama.
00:30:25.000In the same way, so many candidates on the right side of the aisle have picked up Donald Trump's mannerisms with the hands and the phraseology.
00:30:31.000Josh Shapiro sort of does that with Barack Obama.
00:30:57.000It is amazing, by the way, how Democrats shift from this place is just a racist bleephole to this is the greatest country on the face of the earth the minute that they have to run a campaign.
00:31:05.000They go from America is systemically rooted in racism.
00:31:09.000It is a place of deep inequality and corporate evil.
00:31:12.000And they go right from that to this is the greatest country on earth.
00:31:18.000So Josh Shapiro is the front runner in the clubhouse right now for the nomination.
00:31:22.000That's also an attempt to win back some of the Jewish vote that is leaving the Democratic Party in droves because of their association, as it turns out, with pro-Hamasniks in their own party.
00:31:32.000So Josh Shapiro would be an attempt to moderate on that position.
00:31:36.000Also, he is perceived, though he is not, as a political moderate.
00:31:40.000He in the past, for example, has backed school vouchers in Pennsylvania, which will bring up some issues with, say, the American Federation of Teachers.
00:31:47.000At the same time, he's also spoken out very forcibly about the transing of the kids, like in favor of.
00:31:52.000So he is not a particularly moderate guy, but he is perceived as moderate in Pennsylvania.
00:31:55.000He has about a 60% approval rating in Pennsylvania.
00:31:57.000Pennsylvania is in fact a very crucial swing state that will be decided by a very thin margin.
00:32:01.000So Josh Shapiro is the likely front runner for this.
00:32:04.000And again, the fact that they are initiating this in Philadelphia, Suggests that Josh Shapiro will probably be the pick.
00:32:13.000Only about five people are apparently in serious contention.
00:32:36.000And Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary, who definitely will not be the guy because even the Democrats are not stupid enough To run an all-intersectionality ticket.
00:32:44.000That'd be a very foolish move of them if they want to win, say, blue-collar white voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
00:32:51.000And Democrats do need a breakthrough in Pennsylvania given the fact that Kamala Harris did say she wanted to ban fracking, which is a pretty major issue in Pennsylvania.
00:33:01.000According to Politico, VP Harris' decision to reverse her support for a fracking ban is doing little to ease concerns among fossil fuel industries and its workers, and cheerleaders for Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro now see an opening.
00:33:12.000What Harris needs now, according to Democratic Party boosters, is someone like Shapiro, who has carved a middle ground in the country's number two natural gas-producing state in the VP slot.
00:33:23.000So far, she's running a clever campaign.

00:34:54.000So I know there are a lot of people on the right who are very upset because yesterday, the Project 2025 director, Paul Danz, stepped down at Heritage Foundation after pressure from Trump campaign leadership, ongoing power rift over staffing control for potential second Trump administration per internal email, which suggests that Project 2025 could theoretically shut down.
00:35:11.000Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts confirmed the news.
00:35:14.000And now, there are a lot of people on the right who are mad about this because they like a lot of what's in Project 2025.
00:35:20.000I don't see all that much in there that I find personally objectionable.
00:35:25.000However, it was being used by the Biden-Harris campaign in order to smear Trump with, he's read every aspect of this, he's gonna do all of these things, here's his entire campaign program.
00:35:34.000And Trump is heterodox on a number of these things.
00:35:36.000He didn't want to be tied to Project 2025.
00:35:39.000And so one easy way of killing that narrative is killing Project 2025.
00:35:43.000So just as a political move, and again, politics is about the art of the possible.
00:35:53.000If it was just about principle, then I would require that every Republican politician, out loud, make clear their pro-life bona fides.
00:36:00.000Make clear, for example, that they would like to restructure entitlement programs, which everyone knows, everyone knows, those have to be restructured.
00:36:07.000But, that is not actually how politics works.
00:36:10.000Politics is the art of the possible, and there's only so much that's gonna get done.
00:36:13.000And so, Donald Trump saying, I'm not gonna get a lot of this stuff done, and this does not reflect my viewpoint, I think that's probably a politically savvy move by the president, You can see that despite all of the sort of ersatz enthusiasm for Kamala Harris, there is some desperation that is setting in among the Democrats because the reality is that they haven't really been able to peg Trump either.
00:36:34.000So we've talked a lot about them redefining Kamala in an enthusiastic way, but they haven't really been able to take down Trump.
00:36:39.000His approval ratings are actually the highest they have ever been at this point in time.
00:36:43.000And so they are focusing all of their fire on J.D.
00:36:45.000Vance, who again is an undefined commodity.
00:38:25.000Play clips of her in Pennsylvania, on a loop.
00:38:28.000Dropped $30 million in Pennsylvania, on a loop, to show that she wanted to ban fracking and that she cannot be trusted.
00:38:36.000Drop $30 million on a loop in Michigan saying that she is all for electric cars and effectively wants to end the car industry in the United States.
00:39:09.000Well, speaking of the campaign, it is amazing how quickly the media memory hold that time that somebody tried to Donald Trump in the head.
00:39:16.000That happened like two and a half weeks ago, and already it's disappearing.
00:39:19.000So, it turns out that the algorithms at Google had actually been shifted and changed, that if you tried to search for information about the assassination attempt on Trump, that that appeared to have been being hidden.
00:39:29.000The Secret Service still has not answered any questions as to how it was that a person was on a roof for like 15-20 minutes with a gun before they sent Donald Trump out there to speak, and the Secret Service did nothing about it.
00:39:41.000Here's the acting Secret Service director yesterday who was called to testify, his name is Ronald Rowe, about the Secret Service's failure of imagination.
00:39:48.000Here's the thing, I don't think it's a failure of imagination.
00:39:50.000When a person does the most imaginable thing in human history, they go to a roof and try to shoot the most controversial person alive.
00:40:01.000I think this was a failure of imagination.
00:40:06.000A failure to imagine that we actually do live in a very dangerous world, where people do actually want to do harm to our protectees.
00:40:16.000I think it was a failure to challenge our own assumptions.
00:40:21.000The assumptions that we know our partners are going to do everything they can.
00:40:43.000So Josh Hawley, senator from Missouri, he asked the acting Secret Service director, so why didn't you fire anyone?
00:40:48.000It seems like if you have literally one job and you fail at it, somebody should lose their job.
00:40:54.000Okay, so who did make the decision then?
00:40:56.000If it wasn't the lead site agent who made the decision, not to put that in the security perimeter.
00:40:59.000Senator, you're zeroing in on one particular agent.
00:41:02.000I want to find out exactly what was the entire decision process.
00:41:06.000So I think I want to be neutral and make sure that we get to the bottom of it and interview everybody in order to determine if there was more than one person who perhaps exercised bad judgment.
00:41:35.000It is an amazing fact that that's a memory hold.
00:41:37.000If Joe Biden, if somebody tried to get Joe Biden in the head, that would be a national news story for legitimately years, because January 6th has been a national news story for legitimately four years at this point.
00:41:56.000So, we told you yesterday about how Hezbollah had fired a rocket into Northern Israel, into the Golan Heights, and they killed 12 Druze children.
00:42:19.000And so Israel was called upon to respond.
00:42:21.000The Biden administration, because Joe Biden is a weakling and a pathetic human being, and Kamala Harris is also a weakling and a pathetic human being, they basically threatened Israel that Israel should not respond too strongly.
00:42:31.000Because when you have 12 of your own citizens killed by a rocket attack from a terrorist group, what we've learned from the Biden-Harris administration is that the pressure is on you to find a way to diplomacy your way out of this thing.
00:42:41.000So, this put serious restraints on what Israel could do.
00:42:44.000If Israel went whole hog against Hezbollah, as any legitimate country would, if the Mexican drug cartels fired a rocket across the border into San Diego and killed 12 kids on a soccer field, I promise you, U.S.
00:42:55.000Marines would be in Mexico City the next morning.
00:42:59.000But, in Israel, it's not the way that it works because the United States, led by buffoons like the president, who is no longer with us, and the vice president, who actually is probably running the country, That administration basically put the damper on Israel.
00:43:14.000If you do anything big, we're going to be big mad, super mad.
00:43:17.000And of course, we know the Biden administration has been slow walking military aid to the Israelis to prevent them from being able to take Hezbollah off their northern border.
00:43:25.000I should be reminded at this point, if you know nothing about the history of the region, Hezbollah is in Lebanon.
00:43:31.000Israel has no territorial aspirations in Lebanon.
00:43:34.000There is no occupation of Southern Lebanon.
00:43:36.000In fact, Israel withdrew from Southern Lebanon in 2005.
00:43:40.000When they withdrew from Southern Lebanon, the UN was supposed to put a peacekeeping force there.
00:43:44.000They immediately left the peacekeeping force and Hezbollah promptly took up that entire area and built about 125,000 rockets, 25,000 of them with targeting capacity.
00:43:52.000Which means that the north of Israel since October 7th has been a ghost town, completely empty.
00:43:57.000Again, that'd be the equivalent of the United States made a deal with Mexico to demilitarize the Mexican border or something.
00:44:04.000Assume that the cartels were negotiating presence.
00:44:07.000And then the cartels filled it back up and the United States had to evacuate the entire border area along the Mexican border.
00:44:13.000That's effectively what's happened in Israel.
00:44:15.000And the United States said to Israel, don't do anything, like don't do anything.
00:45:43.000That was yesterday, early morning East Coast time.
00:45:48.000And then the same exact day, it turns out that Ismail Khania, Ismail Khania, you might know a little bit better than Shukr.
00:45:57.000If you're an insider, you know Hezbollah's hierarchy, but Khania has been on TV a lot.
00:46:02.000And Khania is the political head of Hamas.
00:46:05.000He's been residing in a five-star hotel in Qatar after embezzling something like $4 billion from Palestinians in foreign aid.
00:46:12.000Just to remember who he is, here was his reaction.
00:46:15.000They actually filmed him upon learning the news of October 7th and its success in the eyes of Hamas, which of course meant the death of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of 250 others.
00:46:24.000Here was Khania's immediate reaction at the time.
00:46:56.000Khania showed up at the Iranian inauguration.
00:46:59.000So, the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, he died in a helicopter accident.
00:47:05.000And we can all pray that the Ayatollah Khamenei, that he takes a Just as effective a helicopter in the very near future.
00:47:12.000Here was Khania at the Iranian inauguration of the new fake president.
00:47:15.000Because what Iran does, like most dictatorships, is they prop up somebody, pretend that he won an election, and that the change of face is somehow a change in policy, which it is not.
00:47:22.000So they invited, of course, as a VIP, Ismail Khania, to this particular event.
00:47:56.000In fact, such a nice guy that after Israel killed him, Reuters ran the following headline, quote, tough talking Hania was seen as the more moderate face of Hamas.
00:48:44.000A woman named Zahra Bilou, who is the head of the San Francisco chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations.
00:48:50.000Remember, that is a group that the Biden administration considers a moderate Muslim group that simply wants better relations in the United States, not a radical Islamist front group.
00:48:59.000She tweeted, quote, Never say that those martyred in the cause of Allah are dead.
00:49:02.000In fact, they are alive, but you do not perceive it.
00:49:04.000Tonight we mourn Ismail himself, but know his martyrdom is not in vain.
00:49:07.000From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
00:49:10.000Remember, CARE was a select partner in the Biden administration's strategy to combat anti-Semitism.
00:49:22.000What they're doing here, is they are suggesting.
00:49:26.000We know we can't go full scale against Hezbollah right now, not without the United States rearming us in some way.
00:49:32.000What we also know is that we cannot allow Hezbollah, Hamas, all of the Iranian proxies to empty out our north and kill our citizens willy-nilly.
00:49:40.000So, if you're Israel, what are we gonna do?
00:49:42.000What we're gonna do is we're gonna kill off your leaders one by one in the places where they're supposed to be most protected.
00:49:47.000Tehran, literally the capital of Iran, and Beirut, literally the capital of Lebanon.
00:50:24.000When you show an iron wall to terrorists, then they are a little more dissuaded from doing the thing that they are sort of famous for doing.
00:50:32.000Now Kamala Harris did put out a quick response on the death of the Hezbollah leader.
00:50:37.000She's not put one out yet on the death of Ismail Khaniya.
00:50:40.000Presumably there will be an in-memoriam for him at the DNC.
00:50:43.000Vice President Harris put out a statement, quote, "'Israel has a right to defend itself against a terrorist organization like Hezbollah.
00:50:48.000That being said, we must still work on a diplomatic solution to end the fighting.'"
00:51:06.000Amos Hoxhine's been doing a fabulous job so far.
00:51:10.000You wanna know why the Israelis didn't inform the Americans what they were doing?
00:51:13.000They would have if Trump were in office.
00:51:14.000They didn't because they figured that Joe Biden would either leak the information to Hezbollah and Hamas, or that he would attempt to put the screws to Israel to stop them from doing things to protect their own citizenry.
00:51:24.000That's what you're gonna get in a Kamala Harris administration, for sure.
00:51:29.000Yesterday, we had the chance to sit down with Yael Eckstein, President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, one of the world's largest religious charitable organizations.
00:51:36.000We've been discussing the situation in Northern Israel.
00:51:38.000IFCJ is doing incredible work in Northern Israel, which we were just discussing a moment ago.
