00:00:00.000The left's institutional control is falling apart.
00:00:03.000They thought they had the government, and then President Trump won, and the Republicans won.
00:00:07.000And they thought they had the media as well.
00:00:08.000More than anything, they thought they had the media.
00:00:11.000But last night, that magical world dissolved before their very eyes as CBS News fired longtime 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelly, making clear that no longer would that show be an agiprop outlet for the left.
00:00:22.000But without institutional control, what happens to the left?
00:01:55.000She used to describe herself as a center left person.
00:01:59.000If you went back about 25 years, she would be a moderate Democrat.
00:02:02.000Barry Weiss is the person described in the famous Elon Musk, Colin Wright, swipe right chart.
00:02:09.000You know, the one that shows that in 2008, people who were on the center left were next to the people on the left, and people on the right were far away, and that as the left moved further and further to the left, People who are center left were still close to the center.
00:02:22.000And then by now, everybody who is center left is now considered right wing because the left is just so far to the left.
00:02:27.000Barry Weiss and Bill Maher basically have the same political positions.
00:02:56.000The real key story here is the Democrats are losing control of a lot of their key institutions.
00:03:00.000That, if there's any overarching sort of theme to the Trump era, it is that Democrats thought they had undeniable control of basically every key institution in American life.
00:03:09.000And one by one, that's coming apart for them.
00:03:12.000So, 60 Minutes, again, was considered sort of the tip of the spear in the objective journalism universe.
00:03:20.000And I'm using scare quotes there for those who can't see, because And those of us who've been watching mainstream legacy media for a long time recognize that the so called objective media is usually anything but.
00:03:29.000Usually it is just a liberal leaning group of people who pretend to be objective.
00:03:35.000And the reason he was fired is because there were changes made over at 60 Minutes.
00:03:40.000Nick Bilton, who's a tech journalist and filmmaker, he was appointed to shake up 60 Minutes because, again, the ratings were not amazing.
00:03:46.000And also they'd had some problems in terms of journalistic integrity.
00:03:49.000Well, at this point, Bilton, who's sort of introducing himself, He was accosted by Scott Pelly publicly at this meeting earlier this week.
00:03:59.000This was after CBS had fired Tanya Simon, according to the New York Times, the previous executive producer and her deputy, along with Sharon Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega.
00:04:07.000Those were a couple of the show's correspondents.
00:04:09.000Pelly referred to these as a Black Thursday.
00:04:12.000The absolute self centered arrogance of referring to the firing of your colleagues as Black Thursday?
00:05:55.000J school for the vast majority of people is you sit through a bunch of classes where they don't teach you anything to do with journalism.
00:06:01.000They teach you a bunch of thematic narrative stuff.
00:06:04.000And then, what are the things you have to learn in J school that make you a journalist?
00:06:08.000This is why I don't describe people typically as journalists.
00:06:11.000I say that they do acts of journalism because you can have a normal person who does an act of journalism.
00:06:16.000The idea that journalism Is a job for which you require a license or a qualification is ridiculous.
00:06:23.000By the way, there are very few jobs where qualifications actually matter, like heart surgeon.
00:06:27.000That's one where a qualification matters.
00:06:30.000Scott Pelly standing on his qualifications while Barry Weiss, who is an editor at the New York Times, before she started the Free Press, one of the most successful independent journalistic endeavors in America, and somehow she has no qualifications.
00:06:43.000But Scott Pelly, who reads stuff from a teleprompter on camera, that he is captain qualifications is absurd.
00:06:49.000He says she has no qualifications for her job.
00:06:52.000You have slender qualifications for this job.
00:06:54.000The changes that she's made at the evening news have been catastrophic.
00:06:56.000So, why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?
00:08:30.000He received a letter from Nick Bilton.
00:08:33.000And here is what the letter said Dear Mr. Pelly, I meant what I said in my letter last week to the 60 Minutes team.
00:08:38.000Joining 60 Minutes is the honor of my career.
00:08:40.000I am grateful to be working alongside the people who have contributed to the most important television journalism brand this country has ever produced.
00:08:46.000While I'm new to 60 Minutes, I've devoted my career to investigative journalism and storytelling.
00:08:51.000I started this job excited to collaborate and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the 60 Minutes veterans with you among them.
00:08:57.000For that reason, one of the first things I did in my new role was call you to talk and invite you to dinner.
00:09:01.000It is a profound disappointment you rejected that overture and chose Ambush instead.
00:09:05.000Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt.
00:09:12.000I welcome a diversity of viewpoints and respectful debate among the team.
00:09:16.000Yesterday's performative display of hostility, enacted in front of the staff instead of in a civil, private conversation, demonstrated you have no interest in contributing to the future success of the show or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress.
00:09:28.000I am here to deliver first in class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama.
00:09:32.000I'm eager to work alongside those who share this goal.
00:09:34.000Despite yesterday's misconduct, I'd hoped in sitting down with you today we could find a path forward together.
00:09:38.000You made clear you are not interested in such a path.
00:09:40.000Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear, and I have heard you.
00:09:44.000I therefore write on behalf of CBS News to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause, effective immediately, and closes your formal termination letter.
00:10:12.000I think that when Barry was made head of CBS News, the only mistake I think that Barry made was not firing more people.
00:10:20.000Because she had a bunch of people, the CBS News deep state, shall we say, who are deeply, deeply invested in her failure.
00:10:28.000Well, apparently, Pelly then responded.
00:10:32.000He said, Mr. Pelly, this is the New York Times, Mr. Pelly, in a telephone interview on Tuesday evening, shortly after he was fired, said he had devoted decades of his life to 60 Minutes, which he said he still cared about deeply.
00:10:41.000I have been in combat in Afghanistan, Mr. Pelly said.
00:11:01.000I guess he's basically like a veteran.
00:11:03.000We should give him a purple heart or something.
00:11:04.000Maybe he should be buried at Arlington when he goes.
00:11:08.000Honestly, he needs to grow extra arms to pat himself on the back that hard.
00:11:12.000He's going to break his back from patting himself on the back that hard.
00:11:15.000Then he put out a full statement There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
00:11:19.000The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history.
00:11:23.000For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world.
00:11:46.000When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects.
00:12:19.000Last month, says Scott Pelly, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause.
00:14:06.000And then he says, I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work.
00:14:14.000Very often at the risk of their own lives, I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again, a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.
00:14:24.000By the way, this letter alone means he never should have been the anchor on a major news network.
00:14:29.000Truly, because what the letter betrays is not only overweening arrogance and self obsession, but a belief in his own politics.
00:14:38.000That overtakes anything remotely like objective fact.
00:14:41.000There is a reason why Ben Rhodes, known as Hamas in the Obama administration, that was literally his nickname.
00:14:46.000I don't know what your nickname is, dear friends.
00:14:51.000He wrote some guy named Nick Bilton serving an audience of one, Barry, service in audience of one, Ellison serving in audience of one, Trump.
00:14:58.000This is how oligarch authoritarian takeover of media happens.
00:15:02.000Ben Rhodes literally said, I believe in an article with The Atlantic, he literally said that he manipulated people using friendly journalistic outlets while he was at the Obama administration.
00:15:18.000So, just a quick review of problems with 60 Minutes.
00:15:21.000Because, again, if you don't watch this stuff closely, or if you only watch network news and you only watch 60 Minutes, in the same way that people have a, shall we say, very halo ridden view of what network news was in the era of Edward R. Murrow or in the era of. Walter Cronkite,
00:15:45.000in the same way that people have a very, very starry eyed view of that, because the truth is that Cronkite had his own political biases, very clear political biases.
00:15:52.000In some cases, biases that helped us lose the Vietnam War.
00:15:55.000But because people have this sort of starry eyed view of what journalism used to be, and it was never that, they have that view of 60 Minutes too.
00:16:01.000But just a brief review of some of the problems 60 Minutes has had over the years.
00:16:05.000And again, any journalistic outlet can make mistakes.
00:16:08.000We here at Daily Wire, we've made mistakes.
00:16:10.000We've reported things and we've had to retract reporting.
00:16:21.00060 Minutes pretends that it is an openly journalistic, objective institution.
00:16:27.000Every mistake, every mistake that 60 Minutes made before the Ellis and Barry Weiss era, every single mistake was a mistake that helped the left.
00:18:09.000Again, this is the same 60 Minutes that October 2024 cut apart Kamala Harris's actual answers in order to make her look a little bit better.
00:18:24.000We are 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.
00:18:32.000But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:18:38.000The Wall Street Journal said that your administration has repeatedly been blindsided by Netanyahu.
00:18:47.000And in fact, he has rebuffed just about all of your administration's entreaties.
00:18:54.000Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were.
00:19:06.000Very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
00:19:15.000And we're not going to stop doing that.
00:19:17.000We'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.
00:19:26.000Okay, that first segment was what was actually aired.
00:19:29.000The second segment is what she said, where she completely word saladed the thing.
00:19:33.000Legacy, again, 60 Minutes does this kind of stuff all the time.
00:19:37.000I remember the worst segment I think I ever saw 60 Minutes run.
00:19:40.000Is they ran a segment about how Ron DeSantis was essentially rolling out the vaccine in biased fashion.
00:19:48.000So they ran an entire segment suggesting that the vaccine rollout in Florida via Publix, which is the biggest grocery chain in Florida, right?
00:19:59.000That he used Publix to roll it out because some members of the family associated with Publix had been making donations to DeSantis' reelection bid.
00:20:09.000The story by Sharon Alfonsi, who's no longer with 60 Minutes for good reason, suggested a possible link between the donation and the state's partnership with Publix, which of course is unbelievably stupid because the reason that you were distributing the vaccine via Publix, regardless of what you think of the vaccine, is because it is a common point of entry for pretty much everyone in the state of Florida.
00:20:28.000It's idiocy, but here's how 60 Minutes ran it.
00:20:32.000But the biggest challenge for residents of the Glades wasn't just making appointments, it was getting to them.
00:20:38.000That's because back in January, the governor made another game changing move.
00:20:43.000He announced he was partnering with Publix grocery stores across the state to distribute the vaccine in their pharmacies.
00:20:51.000But as part of the program in Palm Beach County, most seniors could no longer get vaccine appointments through their public health departments, they had to go to Publix instead.
00:21:02.000So, why did the governor choose Publix?
00:21:05.000Campaign finance reports obtained by 60 Minutes show that weeks before the governor's announcement, Publix donated $100,000 to his political action committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis.
00:21:17.000Julie Jenkins Fancelli, heiress to the Publix fortune, has given $55,000 to the governor's pack in the past.
00:21:25.000And in November, Fancelli's brother in law, Hoyt R. Barnett, a retired Publix executive, donated $25,000.
00:21:57.000He put out, in the run up to the election of 2004, a letter that supposedly suggested that George W. Bush, back when he was in the National Guard, went AWOL.
00:22:13.000Here was Rather Apologizing Back in 2004.
00:22:17.000The documents purported to show that George W. Bush received preferential treatment during his years in the Texas Air National Guard.
00:22:25.000At the time, CBS News and this reporter fully believed the documents were genuine.
00:22:30.000Tonight, after further investigation, we can no longer vouch for their authenticity.
00:22:35.000The failure of CBS News to do just that, to properly, fully scrutinize the documents and their source, Led to our airing the documents when we should not have done so.
00:23:56.000You find it, you add it to the cart, get all the way to the checkout, and then you're asked to remember a password that you created sometime during the Obama administration.
00:24:03.000And at that point, a lot of people simply give up until you see it.
00:24:07.000That magical little purple ShopPay button.
00:24:09.000Suddenly, no searching for your wallet, no password reset, no typing your address for the 900th time.
00:24:15.000And honestly, it might be one of the greatest inventions of the modern age.
00:24:18.000What most people don't realize is that ShopPay is powered by Shopify.
00:24:22.000Shopify powers millions of businesses around the world and roughly 10% of all e commerce in the United States.
00:24:26.000And while customers love ShopPay, business owners love everything happening behind the scenes.
00:24:31.000Shopify helps entrepreneurs build online stores, manage inventory and payments, run marketing campaigns, even use AI tools to create product descriptions, page headlines, and better product photography.
00:24:40.000Everything lives in one place marketing, analytics, payments, customer management, shipping, returns.
00:24:45.000That means business owners can spend more time growing their business and less time trying to hold together 10 different software platforms with duct tape.
00:24:55.000They'll help you with your business the way they help us with ours.
00:24:57.000Car wreck of an interview between Megan Kelly and Sean Ryan.
00:25:00.000But speaking of car wrecks and cars failing, nobody expects your car to fall apart.
00:25:04.000Nobody expects the check engine light to turn on halfway through a family trip, but eventually something does break.
00:25:09.000And honestly, most people think more carefully about saving five bucks on a streaming subscription than they do about protecting themselves from a repair bill that could cost thousands of dollars.
00:25:17.000A guy on our team recently went through exactly this.
00:25:20.000His extended warranty had expired, so he started looking at replacement coverage options.
00:25:23.000He got quotes from several providers and found that CarShield came in about 20% less expensive than the alternatives he was considering.
00:26:14.000This is a historic gallop showing what Americans of each party feel about their own party.
00:26:20.000What you see here is that traditionally speaking, Democrats are very warm toward their own party.
00:26:25.000Very, very warm toward their own party.
00:26:26.000So if you look at this Republican line, which is percentage of Republicans, the favorable opinion of the Republican party, it varies between, say, 63% in 2009.
00:27:08.000The reason is Because Democrats see the Democratic Party as an action committee for power.
00:27:14.000Democrats want the Democratic Party to do things, right?
00:27:16.000If you're a member of the Democratic base, you want the Democratic Party to make more legislation, to tax more, to spend more, to regulate more, to do things.
00:27:25.000And so Democrats might be disappointed that the Democratic Party isn't doing more stuff, but typically they get a lot of stuff that they want when Democrats are in power because Democrats ram through big things.
00:27:37.000Republicans traditionally don't like the Republican Party nearly as much.
00:27:40.000Because it is harder to be a Republican legislator than a Democratic legislator.
00:27:44.000Democrats have virtually no limits on the stuff that they are willing to pass and ram into law.
00:27:48.000That is their job, that is what they are there to do.
00:27:50.000Republicans are there to stop government overreach and then roll things back.
00:28:03.000And so Democrats are traditionally pretty happy with the Democratic Party, and Republicans traditionally are more dissatisfied with the Republican Party.
00:28:11.000That only lasts so long as Democrats win.
00:28:13.000When Democrats start to lose power, the base starts to get antsy because then the base looks at the Democrats and they say, You're not doing the things we want.
00:28:22.000If you're not winning, then you can't tell us you're getting us 80% of the pie because there's no pie.
00:28:27.000And so the base starts demanding radical change.
00:28:29.000And that's what's happening right now.
00:28:30.000There is a gigantic left wing civil war that's taken place.
00:28:34.000The entire Democratic Party, by the way, has moved significantly to the left since the mid 2000s, way further to the left on pretty much every policy.
00:28:43.000Bill Clinton's platform in 1996 is unrecognizable as a Democratic platform today.
00:28:48.000If Bill Clinton were running for higher office today using his platform in 1996, he would be considered a Susan Collins Republican.
00:28:58.000That's how far left the Democratic Party has moved.
00:29:00.000But even with that Democratic Party move to the left, there's an even further splinter wing of the Democratic Party that's making strong moves.
00:29:08.000You can see all of this breaking out loose across the country.
00:29:13.000So, according to Politico, it's really funny.
00:29:14.000There are a bunch of elections last night, primary elections.
00:29:18.000And according to Politico, the Democratic establishment is roaring back.
00:29:24.000What is there evidence that the Democratic establishment is roaring back?
00:29:27.000Well, they picked an establishment backed candidate named Josh Turek to take on GOP Representative Ashley Hinson for an open Senate seat in Iowa.
00:29:38.000And they are putting up moderate military veteran Rebecca Bennett against Republican Representative Tom Keene Jr. in a competitive House district.
00:29:50.000The whole story is that overall, the Democratic Party has moved to the left and the splinter faction is gaining power.
00:29:57.000Great example, by the way, is New Jersey.
00:30:00.000Where, according to Politico, progressive Adam Hamawi, a U.S. Army veteran with a complicated personal history who has been sharply critical of Israel's war in Gaza, emerged from a 12 candidate primary.
00:30:12.000Okay, that is a very, very flattering portrait of Adam Hamawi.
00:30:16.000Who the hell is Adam Hamawi who won the New Jersey 12th primary with 18% of the vote?
00:30:21.000Well, he was, in fact, an ally and spokesperson for Sheikh Omar Abdulrahman.
00:30:29.000That would be the blind Sheikh who preached in New Jersey and was convicted in 1995 of inspiring terror attacks, including the first World Trade Center bombing, which killed six people.
00:30:39.000He was called to testify by the Sheikh's defense.
00:30:43.000Also, he apparently traveled to Bosnia, according to the Washington Free Beacon, and worked with a group that was basically a front group for Al Qaeda.
00:30:51.000And now he's probably going to go to Congress in New Jersey.
00:30:57.000He says, of course, that all of this is guilt by association innuendo infused with Islam.
00:31:01.000I feel like you'd find some Muslims in the United States.
00:31:49.000Tom Steyer, who you have to have a sort of bizarre sympathy for Tom Steyer that every couple of years he just blows a couple hundred million dollars trying to make himself popular.
00:32:01.000He's the rich kid in school who no one likes.
00:32:03.000But if he buys you a really cool pack of baseball cards, then maybe you'll be his friend.
00:32:09.000He is coming in third right now, which is hilarious.
00:32:13.000We'll see where all of this stacks up at the end.
00:32:15.000Right now, Steve Hilton is in first place with about 1.4 million votes, and Becerra at 1.3 million votes, and Steyer in third place with a little under a million votes.
00:32:24.000Okay, but one of the things that's hilarious is that, again, in Democratic California, the big rap on Xavier Becerra is that Becerra is not left wing enough.
00:32:34.000We need to point out how psychotic this is.
00:32:54.000Where he routinely pursued far left activism, including, you will remember, the prosecution of pro life activist David DeLayton, filed 120 lawsuits against the Trump administration, defended California's sanctuary state policies, and then he was over at HHS under Joe Biden, where he imposed policies endorsing transing the kids and trying to expand the availability of abortion after the overruling of Roe versus Wade.
00:33:17.000That guy is too right wing for the left.
00:33:19.000Hassan Piker, terrorist supporter and Chinese cutout, says that Xavier Becerra is awful.
00:35:12.000Karen Bass is far and away the leader in the clubhouse to, again, return to her mayoralty after half of her city burned to the ground.
00:35:20.000That's how far left the Democratic Party is, that she is now considered the moderate wing of the Democratic Party.
00:35:26.000You see a very similar race that is now breaking out with regard to a 13th House district race in New York.
00:35:36.000So, Zorhan Mamdani, the far left socialist who is very fond of Islamist terror groups, well, he has launched a democratic civil war by endorsing a DSA, Democrat Socialist of America insurgent named Daria Liza Avia Chevalier.
00:35:57.000According to the New York Post, he has launched a civil war in the Democratic Party with his controversial endorsement of a fellow socialist bid to oust incumbent representative Adriano Espayat, insiders said on Monday.
00:36:09.000Mom Dhani's decision to support fellow DSA insurgent Chevalier in the June 23rd primary for the Northern Manhattan Bronx House, 13th House District, is part of a long term effort by him and fellow socialists to take control of the Democratic Party.
00:36:24.000Here is Mom Dhani appearing on MS Now to introduce this person.
00:36:30.000You know, I am so excited to be sitting here with Daria Lisa.
00:36:34.000And I'm so excited to be endorsing her in her run for Congress.
00:36:37.000She is the daughter of a single mom caseworker.
00:36:40.000And she grew up with a commitment to the harm people in politics have left behind.
00:36:45.000And what I see in her is that commitment fulfilled.
00:36:47.000This is a New Yorker who has not only secured the release of our neighbors from undue ICE custody, also someone who has been on the front lines of that fight for affordability.
00:36:57.000And I can't wait for her to be introduced to so many across the city and across this country as we fight for that affordability agenda from New York City to DC.
00:38:33.000Well, this person is so radical that Espallad was in front of Delaney Hall over the weekend, stirring up the fake controversy over the supposedly inhumane conditions over there.
00:38:46.000Espallad is in favor of abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, opposes voter ID, defends sanctuary city policies.
00:38:54.000Espayat is in the top 5% most progressive members of Congress, according to Progressive Punch.
00:39:23.000Hakeem Jeffries, again, trying to hold the fort against the total psychotics.
00:39:30.000Well, listen, the voters are ultimately going to decide this primary election, and Adriano Espallat, in my view, is going to win.
00:39:37.000Adriano Espallat has been a tremendous leader.
00:39:40.000He's leading in terms of battling Donald Trump.
00:39:43.000He's leading as it relates to battling and pushing back against ISIS's violent mass deportation machine.
00:39:49.000And he's been one of the leaders in pushing back against Donald Trump's reckless and costly war of choice.
00:39:55.000Again, the new wave in the Democratic Party taking on the old far left wave, very, very far left wave.
00:40:01.000Like, they're making Bernie Sanders look traditional by comparison.
00:40:05.000The new left wave is people who are openly associated with actual convicted terrorists, people with Nazi tattoos, people who believe that Israel doesn't exist and that we should have no borders.
00:40:18.000That is the new wave in the Democratic Party.
00:40:44.000Yeah, touches himself in porta potties guy.
00:40:47.000The guy who's sexting, somewhere between six and 12, number indeterminate women, basically as soon as he was married.
00:40:55.000That guy, his campaign manager is a derelict named Morris Katz, a Skidmore College dropout.
00:41:01.000He was born and raised in lower Manhattan to a children's book publisher.
00:41:07.000And apparently, he wrote a book called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty and Shouldn't Be Googling for Curious Boys.
00:41:15.000On page 17 of that book, next to a chart of fruit and animals symbolizing different stages of puberty, Katz wrote, At first, we were going to use images of my penis to get this point across, but the publisher said it was inappropriate, so here we are.
00:41:32.000Well, now he's being endorsed, of course, by Ro Khanna.
00:41:37.000Who is, again, Zorhan Mamdani, but slightly less threatening in affect?
00:41:44.000Morris Katz is one of the most brilliant political strategists of his generation.
00:41:48.000You know why young folks are turned off by politics?
00:41:50.000They hate that the establishment plants dirt on folks like Morris just because his candidates speak out on genocide or taxing billionaires.
00:41:58.000The political class is so out of touch with where the energy and the passion of our party is.
00:42:02.000I can't wait until Morris' generation leads, and it's happening in 26 and 28.
00:42:06.000This is the battle inside the Democratic Party.
00:42:09.000The DSA has momentum, the Democratic Socialists of America.
00:42:13.000As of early 2026, they surpassed 104,000 dues paying members nationwide.
00:43:55.000Who you'll remember is the guy who you don't remember because he was VP candidate for Hillary Clinton.
00:43:59.000He says he's not going to say anything right now, or maybe ever, on Graham Plattner.
00:44:03.000These are these stalwarts you need standing against the real Nazis out there.
00:44:07.000I mean, aside from the guy with the actual Nazi tattoo.
00:44:11.000Do you think, considering everything on the line, control of the Senate that could come down to that race in Maine, is he the right person for Democrats to put forward?
00:44:27.000I think Maine Democrats should pick their.
00:44:29.000Candidates, and I don't think nationalists are going to be.
00:44:33.000Well, yeah, there's three candidates on the ballot next week, and I am not going to say a word that will tilt it one way or another.
00:44:41.000Maine Democrats are going to make the decision.
00:44:43.000Once they make the decision, I may have some things to say about it, but I'm not going to say anything now because Maine Democrats need to pick who they think would be their best representative.
00:44:54.000That guy was almost vice president of the United States.
00:44:57.000Bernie, of course, is not rethinking his endorsement because everything that is wrong with Graham Plattner is a feature, not a bug to Bernie.
00:45:48.000When I hear the schmuck talk about oligarchy, okay, when I listen to a person who has never done a productive thing in his entire life, and that man is twice my age, meaning he's in his 80s, and that dude has never done a single productive thing for decades, a lifelong loser who is only in the Senate because he represents a state that has deer and seven white people.
00:46:12.000The fact that that guy is an ideological thought leader and he talks about oligarchy while claiming that he wants to seize the means of production and run it himself.
00:46:22.000Every accusation from this guy is an admission.
00:46:24.000He wishes he were the head of an oligarchy.
00:46:47.000A creeper has been on a decade on a platform like Kik and send a dozen explicit kinds of messages and who knows what else.
00:46:56.000Would it be better for Democrats if he was not the candidate here?
00:47:00.000All I'm saying, it's like, you know, when I was growing up, if someone had a clear Nazi tattoo on them, you probably could conclude that there's a Nazi sympathizer.
00:48:06.000The goal here is to form a new alliance with the left.
00:48:11.000So the woke right is just the new left, they're the same thing.
00:48:15.000So Megyn Kelly appeared with Sean Ryan.
00:48:20.000So Sean Ryan is a conspiracy ridden podcaster for those who don't know.
00:48:26.000He's kind of one of these podcast bros who doesn't know anything, but purports to have conspiratorial knowledge over world events, despite the fact that his political takes are, shall we say, that they have the informed maturity of a potato?
00:48:41.000In any case, Megyn Kelly, who is just seeking the clicks, always and forever.
00:49:36.000In any case, here she was on Sean Ryan saying, now she, the new wave, the new wave, the way she believes the wind is blowing is toward the woke right slash new left.
00:50:04.000People think of me as a Republican, but I haven't been a Republican in over 20 years.
00:50:08.000I was a registered Democrat when I was fresh out of school, and then I was a registered Republican for a few years when I was like right around when I joined Fox News.
00:50:18.000And then I quickly realized I don't want to wear either of these team jerseys.
00:50:55.000Here are Megyn Kelly and Sean Ryan declaring that core MAGA, meaning the people who support President Trump, are pedophiles who support Israel.
00:51:56.000And now, the point that I'm making here, the reason that I bring this up is not just to rip on Megan, although, frankly, it's, I will say, I told you so.
00:52:05.000But the reason that I bring this up is because you know what hasn't happened?
00:52:11.000Meghan Kelly's politics here, or Tucker Carlson's, or Candace Owens, fresh from Moscow, those politics have not infused the Republican Party.
00:54:13.000That's the horseshoe common party that people want to put together.
00:54:16.000Well, as people like the Hassan Pikers and the Zoran Amdani stick over to the Democratic Party, people who are members of the quote unquote woke right, they will move over to the Democratic Party.
00:54:52.000Just hearing normalcy from people, non psychotic stuff from politicians, it's kind of delightful.
00:54:59.000Here is Marco Rubio talking about the foreign policy of the United States.
00:55:06.000I just want to remind everybody, you know, our foreign policy is one that's solely focused on the national interests of the United States of America, on the defense of our country, both its military defense and our security, but also our economic security and the vibrancy of our economy, our sovereignty, and our future.
00:55:25.000We believe that America should lead the world, and I believe that we are, and it will have a very good story to tell about that.
00:55:30.000American leadership, however, should always be on behalf of the American interests.
00:55:34.000I say this because I think over a period of time in our foreign policy, we lost focus on that.
00:55:40.000Again, this is very, very basic stuff, but it feels kind of refreshing.
00:55:44.000Here's Rubio talking about how the United States is the global superpower.
00:57:36.000There's no metric by which Iran is winning.
00:57:38.000The only way that Iran wins, as I said yesterday, is if the United States randomly gives up the ghost.
00:57:43.000If we release all sanctions on Iran without them giving up their nuclear program or their ballistic missile program or stopping their support for terror, if we allow Iran to link, relink all of their terrorist activities from their proxy groups all over the Middle East to a United States release of sanctions money, right?
00:58:06.000That doesn't mean that both sides don't suffer some.
00:58:09.000The United States obviously having some economic issues because of the blockade.
00:58:12.000But if it's a comparative matter, Iran is clearly losing.
00:58:17.000Rubio also talked about where we are in terms of the Western Hemisphere, and he says the Western Hemisphere is being made free for American interests.
00:58:27.000We now have in this hemisphere a coalition of friendly countries, over a dozen, who have aligned to work on not just the issues of security that we all have in common, but also economic prosperity that go hand in hand.
00:58:38.000It's an amazing story that basically, other than Nicaragua, other than Cuba, obviously, other than Venezuela, remains with some challenges, and of course, Brazil, although they're in the midst of an election cycle.
00:58:50.000And to some extent, the current government in Colombia as well, at least the president's been problematic.
00:58:54.000But generally speaking, it is now a region filled with American allies, American friendly leaders, and an America friendly direction.
00:59:01.000Now, obviously, we have to operationalize that into action after 20 years of neglect in which China and other global powers have intruded in our Western hemisphere to the detriment not just of American national interests, but to the detriment, in our view, of the people of those countries as well.
00:59:15.000So these are important achievements and one that I'm very happy about.
00:59:22.000Man, isn't hearing just normie stuff kind of comforting and calming?
00:59:26.000Isn't it just a little bit, like just a little bit?
