The Ben Shapiro Show - Nut Job Congressman Jamaal Bowman IS OUT

00:00:00.000 So last night, radical congressperson Jamal Bowman, Democrat from New York's 16th congressional district, he lost his primary by nearly 20 points.

00:00:08.000 And this is good news for the country, because as it turns out, Congress could use fewer complete dullers who don't know exactly how doors work, or what fire alarms are, or that Israel is not committing a genocide in Gaza, and also that women were in fact by Hamas on October 7th.

00:00:24.000 Jamal Bowman was one of the worst people in Congress.

00:00:26.000 He, of course, will remain in Congress until he finishes his term, but he was ousted dramatically in a very high-spending primary in New York's 16th Congressional District.

00:00:34.000 And I think this has some lessons for politics writ large in the United States.

00:00:38.000 Five lessons in particular.

00:00:40.000 Lesson number one, it turns out that radical intersectional leftism is really, really unpopular unless you're in a radical left-wing district.

00:00:48.000 So New York's 16th Congressional District is about 9% Jewish.

00:00:52.000 A lot of those Jews have voted Democrat, habitually, but they're not part of the intersectional coalition.

00:00:57.000 They've been cast out by the intersectional coalition in the aftermath of October 7th, and they do not look kindly on Jamal Bowman's open appeals to pro-terror supporters.

00:01:07.000 A lot of Jamal Bowman's money in this particular race came from outside of the district.

00:01:10.000 A lot of focus, as we'll get to, has been put on the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee putting in some $14 million in ad money into this race.

00:01:17.000 Jamal Bowman also spent millions and millions and millions of dollars.

00:01:20.000 A huge amount of that money was coming from outside of his district, as he himself has acknowledged pretty publicly.

00:01:26.000 And it turns out that when you run in a district that is a little bit more diverse than, say, AOC's district, in terms of a Jewish population, or Summer Lee's district in Pennsylvania, that this makes you vulnerable.

00:01:38.000 Radical leftism is not, in fact, all that popular outside of a very few specific enclaves in the United States.

00:01:45.000 This is why Cori Bush, who's running in Missouri's first congressional district, she is also vulnerable, even though, again, the Jewish population in that particular district only represents about 2% of the total of that district.

00:01:55.000 She's vulnerable anyway because that district is not nearly as radical as, say, AOC's district or Summer Lee's district or Pramila Jayapal's district in Washington.

00:02:05.000 So, Jamal Bowman gets absolutely clocked last night.

00:02:08.000 This was not a close race.

00:02:09.000 Let's be clear.

00:02:10.000 This had not been a close race for a long time.

00:02:12.000 The early polling data between Jamal Bowman in New York's 16th congressional district and a fellow named George Latimer, who's a West Chester County executive, That polling date had been very bad for Jamal Bowman for months.

00:02:26.000 So the late infusion of money from AIPAC really sort of held the ground steady against Jamal Bowman, but he ends up losing last night by about 20 points.

00:02:36.000 And that, of course, shouldn't be a shock because this is not a district built for radicalism.

00:02:41.000 It turns out that the Bernie Sanders approach to politics is a very specific approach that does not have a lot of takers outside of a few areas of the country.

00:02:52.000 And the Bernie Sanders approach, which used to be class-based and now has morphed into a sort of classed and race-based Look at American politics.

00:03:00.000 Again, that is a very specific ideology.

00:03:03.000 It's a luxury belief system, in other words.

00:03:05.000 And it turns out that again, outside of a small group of extremely insular places, most people don't like it.

00:03:12.000 So Bernie had cut an ad for Jamal Bowman.

00:03:14.000 Hakeem Jeffries did a last minute round of robocalls, donated like five grand to Jamal Bowman.

00:03:20.000 But everybody kind of knew that he was on the way out.

00:03:22.000 Here was Bernie's ad in favor of Jamal Bowman.

00:03:26.000 We decide the future of our democracy.

00:03:29.000 We decide that we want universal child care.

00:03:35.000 We want housing as a human right.

00:03:39.000 We want universal health care.

00:03:42.000 We want historic investments in home care to take care of our seniors.

00:03:49.000 The most important part of this election is whether we have the courage as people to stand up to the oligarchs and tell these billionaires they're not going to control our government.

00:04:01.000 Get everybody you can out to the wall. 0.97

00:04:05.000 This ridiculous campaign burst into flames. 0.96

00:04:08.000 It went down like a Hamas rocket on its own hospitals. 0.95

00:04:12.000 Jamal Bowman came out afterward and he said that he and his supporters will, quote, continue to fight the evils of capitalism, militarism, and racism.

00:04:19.000 That is who we are.

00:04:20.000 That is who we are going to continue to be.

00:04:21.000 Again, the evils of capitalism.

00:04:24.000 That doesn't tend to be a particularly popular perspective outside of a very few people.

00:04:29.000 Which brings us to lesson number two, online is not real life.

00:04:32.000 So online, the weeping, the gnashing of teeth, the wailing over Jamal Bowman's loss is extraordinary.

00:04:39.000 But it turns out the vast majority of Americans are somewhat moderate on politics.

00:04:43.000 Everybody who gets sucked into the echo chamber, that is x.com, twitter.com, everybody gets sucked into that echo chamber is acting on false premises.

00:04:53.000 I understand why Congress people do it.

00:04:55.000 It's because it used to be that the feedback mechanism you had from your constituents, it used to be letters and phone calls.

00:05:01.000 And the rule in a congressional office was if you got a letter that was representative of maybe a hundred of your constituents, you got a phone call that was representative of maybe 50 of your constituents.

00:05:08.000 But here is the thing.

00:05:09.000 On X, a tweet is representative of less than zero of your constituents.

00:05:15.000 Many of those accounts are sock puppet accounts.

00:05:18.000 Virtually all of the accounts won't be from your district.

00:05:20.000 And the algorithm favors extreme points of view.

00:05:24.000 That is true across social media.

00:05:26.000 So following the political trends on X is actually quite a terrible way of doing politics in the United States, which is why I've suggested to my fellow Republicans that when it comes to campaigning, you might want to go out and touch some grass.

00:05:36.000 You might want to actually, you know, be outside in the world.

00:05:39.000 In this race, Jamal Bowman had 360,000 Twitter followers.

00:05:40.000 George Latimer had 6,000.

00:05:45.000 George Latimer clocked him by 20% in this race, and you can see it in real time.

00:05:49.000 We'll get to more on this in just one second.

00:05:51.000 First, the cost of living is up almost 20% from when Joe Biden took office.

00:05:55.000 Families everywhere are feeling that burden, but the media keep insisting the economy is totally fine.

00:05:59.000 In fact, a recent Business Insider article makes the case the American people are to blame for this dumpster fire economy.

00:06:04.000 Because it's people's perception of inflation that's the problem, you see.

00:06:07.000 Well, this is Gaslighting 101.

00:06:09.000 Let me help you find ways to save money in this economic climate.

00:06:12.000 One way to do that is by switching to PeerTalk.

00:06:57.000 So, you remember, over the weekend, AOC did this rally for Jamal Bowman.

00:07:02.000 It was super weird.

00:07:03.000 She went out there, she was jumping around like a crazed, glue-huffing cheerleader at a local high school. 1.00

00:07:11.000 It was very strange.

00:07:12.000 And then, just to prove how cool she was, her own campaign released a video of her jumping around like a nutjob at this rally. 0.96

00:07:19.000 And here's what it looked like if you don't remember this particular horror show.

00:07:22.000 Look how cool she is. 0.99

00:07:29.000 She's skipping around and jumping around, like she's at the club. 0.91

00:07:34.000 She can't hear you!

00:07:35.000 She can't hear you!

00:07:38.000 Right, and this video released by her campaign makes it look like there are a lot of people here.

00:07:41.000 Right?

00:07:42.000 Wow, look at her! 0.81

00:07:42.000 She's so charismatic! 0.81

00:07:44.000 Oh my god, she's rapping, and she's screaming, and she's moving her hands! 0.82

00:07:47.000 Okay, now, uh, and she's even taking...

00:07:50.000 Her hair out! 1.00

00:07:50.000 So that she can show you her hair! 1.00

00:07:52.000 Waving in the wind!

00:07:53.000 Oh my gosh!

00:07:54.000 So much charisma!

00:07:55.000 The Riz on this lady! 1.00

00:07:56.000 So fresh!

00:07:57.000 So face!

00:07:58.000 Okay, now.

00:07:58.000 Here is the reverse angle.

00:08:01.000 Here is the reverse angle of this exact walk-up.

00:08:03.000 There are like five people there.

00:08:06.000 And half of them are media.

00:08:08.000 Online is not real life.

00:08:10.000 Online is not real life.

00:08:12.000 Honest to God, I could go to a local restaurant in my area and I would draw a bigger crowd than this without any notice. 0.94

00:08:20.000 Look at this nutjob waving her arms like a crazy person in front of a crowd of seven people. 1.00

00:08:28.000 My goodness. 0.97

00:08:29.000 But again, online, not real life.

00:08:31.000 And it turns out that it's not real life for pretty much anybody.

00:08:33.000 Punchbowl News points out that actually, it wasn't last night, just about Jamal Bowman.

00:08:40.000 Across the board, moderates did really well.

00:08:43.000 In other primary news, they say Rep.

00:08:45.000 John Curtis defeated former President Trump's endorsed candidate to win the Republican Senate primary in Utah.

00:08:49.000 Curtis is a moderate on politics in Utah.

00:08:54.000 Rep.

00:08:54.000 Celeste Malloy of Utah is ahead of GOP challenger Colby Jenkins by just four points.

00:08:59.000 Malloy was, in fact, endorsed by Trump, but Jenkins was endorsed by Mike Lee.

00:09:05.000 As Punchbowl points out, victories by Latimer, Curtis, and Malloy indicate the center is holding in 2024.

00:09:11.000 And that is largely right.

00:09:13.000 It turns out that people generally prefer moderation, at least in affect, when it comes to their politics.

00:09:22.000 Turn out that the nutty charisma of like an AOC or a Jamal Bowman waving his arms like a like a crazy Fat bird attempting to get off the ground, waving his arms like a failing windmill the other day at that rally.

00:09:34.000 Turns out that that earns you plaudits on X and doesn't earn you a lot of votes in actual primaries.

00:09:40.000 Which brings us to lesson number three.

00:09:42.000 A lot of talk about the amount of money that AIPAC put into this race.

00:09:45.000 So AIPAC is the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee.

00:09:48.000 It is not, in fact, a branch of the Israeli government.

00:09:50.000 It has frequently disagreed with the Israeli government, most famously in 2015 when the Israeli government was pushing very, very hard against the Iran deal.

00:09:57.000 And AIPAC, which is, in fact, dominated at the top level by political Democrats, did nothing about the Iran deal.

00:10:04.000 But AIPAC put a bunch of money into this race.

00:10:05.000 Why did they put a bunch of money into this race? 0.98

00:10:07.000 They did it because Jamal Bowman was already vulnerable. 0.95

00:10:10.000 Political money follows you into a district when you yourself are a crappy candidate for your district.

00:10:16.000 Politico points out that this race, while it was about Israel for a lot of Jewish voters, it was not entirely about Israel. 0.95

00:10:23.000 It turns out that Jamal Bowman is just a terrible congressperson.

00:10:27.000 As Politico points out, Other outspoken progressives won their primaries handily, including AOC, just last night.

00:10:34.000 While they did not face electorates quite so primed to eject an Israel skeptic, they heeded other lessons.

00:10:38.000 Mind your voting record and personal behavior.

00:10:41.000 The ads against Bowman barely even mentioned Israel.

00:10:43.000 Instead, the focus was on Bowman's votes against Joe Biden's infrastructure law and against raising the debt ceiling.

00:10:49.000 Then there was the fire alarm.

00:10:51.000 As the New York Times' Nicholas Fandos writes, the timing of an episode that resulted in a misdemeanor plea and House censure could hardly have been worse.

00:10:57.000 Opposition researchers turned up old blog posts dabbling in 9-11 conspiracy theories and publicized video of Bowman calling reports Hamas sexually abused Israeli women during its attack propaganda.

00:11:07.000 Also, don't alienate your friends back home.

00:11:10.000 As Politico points out, a more skilled politician might have survived those travails with a local support network in place, but Bowman didn't have that, because Latimer had that.

00:11:20.000 That means that even the people in Congress, who are supposedly his allies, did almost nothing for him.

00:11:25.000 Again, Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, gave him like a $5,000 donation and a late robocall, and that was it.

00:11:32.000 According to one House Democrat, this wasn't about ideology as much as it was about how Bowman went about his job.

00:11:37.000 Quote, nobody who cares about them tried to help, tried to stop them, tried to say, hey, there's a better way.

00:11:40.000 You don't need to do this.

00:11:41.000 You can advocate for your position without alienating the vast majority of voters.

00:11:46.000 In other words, he was a bad congressperson.

00:11:49.000 And he was a bad fit for his own district.

00:11:51.000 And when you are vulnerable, the money follows you into the district.

00:11:54.000 It turns out that high spending primaries did not occur in, say, AOC's district.

00:11:58.000 Or in some releases.

00:11:58.000 Both of them are radically anti-Israel.

00:12:02.000 The money didn't follow them there.

00:12:03.000 Why?

00:12:03.000 Because they weren't vulnerable.

00:12:04.000 Bowman made himself vulnerable because he is a fool. 1.00

00:13:10.000 Lesson number four. 0.98

00:13:12.000 Left-wing intersectional radicalism is ugly, and it's vicious, and it stinks. 0.99

00:13:18.000 So the reaction to Jamal Bowman getting his ass kicked, being shown the door, which is a good thing because frankly, he doesn't know how doors work. 0.99

00:13:24.000 So I'm glad that he was shown the door so he can finally learn what a door actually does. 0.99

00:13:30.000 But the the omni cause is truly ugly.

00:13:32.000 So the omni cause can't remember who coined this term, but it's a genius term.

00:13:35.000 It is a it is a basic Answer to the question, why is it that if you're a radical on climate change, you also support Hamas?

00:13:43.000 Why is it that if you support transgenderism, you very likely also support Hezbollah? 0.53

00:13:47.000 Why is that?

00:13:48.000 And the answer is the Omnicause.

00:13:49.000 In other words, and what is the Omnicause?

00:13:51.000 Tearing away the system, tearing down the system.

00:13:53.000 And in practice, it's super ugly.

00:13:55.000 So the Sunshine Movement is an environmentalist group.

00:13:59.000 And the Sunshine Movement put out a tweet saying, quote, there isn't another way to say it.

00:14:04.000 F. APAC.

00:14:06.000 Our hearts are heavy tonight.

00:14:07.000 Jamal Bowman should be heading back to Congress.

00:14:10.000 So, question.

00:14:12.000 Why was he so important to you?

00:14:15.000 It turns out that George Latimer will probably vote how you want him to vote on many environmental issues.

00:14:19.000 So why is he so important to you?

00:14:20.000 And the answer, of course, is that the Omnicause is ever-present, and it's ugly, and it makes absolute room for people who hate Jews, because the Omnicause's central unifying field theory of life is that the world is made up of victims and victimizers, and if you are unsuccessful, if you are a loser, it is not because you have made bad decisions.

00:14:38.000 It is not because you ought to change your own life.

00:14:41.000 It is because the system is victimizing you, and that means disproportionately successful groups are the victimizers.

00:14:46.000 Jews are disproportionately successful. 0.99

00:14:48.000 This means that they are bad. 0.99

00:14:50.000 And that philosophy has really ugly consequences.

00:14:52.000 By the way, you can see Jamal Bowman doing this himself.

00:14:55.000 So in his giant failure speech, in his concession speech, he said a few things of interest.

00:15:00.000 First, he thanked the Muslim community in his race, which is interesting because we've been told

00:15:05.000 that the only outside money that came in was AIPAC money.

00:15:08.000 But here he is openly admitting that he was getting money from say Dearborn, Michigan and San Francisco

00:15:12.000 because the Omni cause.

00:15:15.000 I want us to acknowledge publicly together I'm out of here.

00:15:22.000 the power of the Muslim community.

00:15:25.000 You all could do better than that.

00:15:34.000 Thank you.

00:15:36.000 You don't understand what the Muslim community specifically did in this race.

00:15:48.000 Well, I wonder why they intervened in this race. 0.85

00:15:49.000 Why this race and not other races?

00:15:52.000 Could it have to do with the fact that Jamal Bowman is a denier?

00:15:55.000 That Jamal Bowman has been thoroughly pro-Hamas throughout the entire conflict?

00:15:59.000 Maybe it's that.

00:16:01.000 But apparently that sort of outside money is totally fine.

00:16:04.000 It's AIPAC that is obviously the problem.

00:16:06.000 And this sort of thing smacks of when a Democrat loses to a Republican and then the Democrat complains about the NRA, which was the stock in trade for 20 years.

00:16:14.000 That the NRA was a nefarious force.

00:16:16.000 And it wasn't that a lot of constituents in the district just didn't like the person and also happened to be pro-gun rights.

00:16:20.000 It had to be the evils of the NRA.

00:16:23.000 You only hear, by the way, the left wing complain about money in politics when they lose.

00:16:27.000 Meanwhile, the left wing spends exorbitant sums of cash.

00:16:29.000 In fact, APAC and yelling at APAC and suggesting that APAC is an emissary of a foreign nation.

00:16:35.000 That is perfectly well within all boundaries, according to Democrats, not anti-Semitic at all to do that, to say that Jews are buying the elections.

00:16:42.000 But if George Soros spends billions of dollars on politics to elect local district attorneys to undermine Americanism, and you mention George Soros' name, then the left calls you an anti-Semite.

00:16:57.000 So, again, the double standard is pretty glaring.

00:16:59.000 Here is Jamal Bowman suggesting that the real reason he lost is APAC despite the fact he was losing by nearly 20 points before APAC even got into the race.

00:17:08.000 Even as I've talked to voters, there are some who are like, I don't want to share who I voted for.

00:17:11.000 I don't want my neighbors to know.

00:17:12.000 It's intense.

00:17:14.000 It's intense because AIPAC are bullies.

00:17:17.000 AIPAC intimidates people.

00:17:19.000 And my opponent, and my opponent has sided not just with AIPAC, but with Republican billionaires.

00:17:25.000 And because he's been in office so long and because he's been county executive giving people jobs, people are afraid.

00:17:33.000 APAC are the bullies.

00:17:34.000 Not the people who side with Jamal Bowman who like chant outside synagogues and try to beat people up.

00:17:38.000 Those people are excellent allies to the campaign.

00:17:40.000 APAC are the bullies.

00:17:42.000 By the way, talk about sowing and reaping.

00:17:44.000 The Justice Democrats who backed Jamal Bowman, they're big supporters of AOC, they're many of the people who selected AOC for her congressional seat in the first place.

00:17:51.000 A little bit earlier this year, they put out a campaign memo saying they launched a research and polling effort in late 2022 to counter AIPAC's attack ads and, quote, make AIPAC toxic in the Democratic Party.

00:18:01.000 They noticed that the Jamal Bowman campaign used their material in his messaging and polling.

00:18:07.000 They then put out a statement after he got his ass kicked, quote, this race was not a referendum on Israel-Palestine policies. 0.96

00:18:12.000 Maybe it was just a little bit. 0.99

00:18:16.000 Meanwhile, and the reason that George Latimer won is because he's just normal D. That's it.

00:18:20.000 He's a normal Democrat.

00:18:21.000 Jamal Bowman is a refugee from the Radical Intersectional Insane Asylum.

00:18:27.000 And George Latimer is a normal Democrat in a normal Democratic district.

00:18:30.000 Here was George Latimer's victory speech.

00:18:33.000 Find a way to come together.

00:18:34.000 This country cannot afford to splinter into little pieces and every single representative has to understand the necessity for unity so that we can move forward as a nation.

00:18:48.000 Okay, so, that brings us finally to lesson number five.

00:18:52.000 The echo chamber that we talked about with regard to acts that online is not real, there is also a media echo chamber, and the media echo chamber has featured people like Jamal Bowman. 0.92

00:18:59.000 Remember, Stephen Colbert had on Jamal Bowman on his show just a couple of nights ago, trying to promote this Hamas-supporting tool bag, who is so stupid that he believes that fire alarms open doors. 0.98

00:19:11.000 That guy. 0.99

00:19:12.000 Stephen Colbert had him on to talk about how he had principal energy.

00:19:15.000 Remember this?

00:19:18.000 AOC has been featured on the cover of magazines.

00:19:20.000 The up-and-comers are Ilhan Omar, terrorist supporter.

00:19:23.000 Rashida Tlaib, terrorist supporter. 0.98

00:19:24.000 These are the people the media love.

00:19:26.000 And guess what?

00:19:27.000 That media echo chamber is not helping Democrats.

00:19:29.000 It is hurting Democrats because it makes Democrats believe that they have momentum when they don't. 0.88

00:19:35.000 So after his victory, Abby Phillip then grilled George Latimer claiming that he was an Islamophobe, which is just, I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. 0.87

00:19:42.000 Why?

00:19:43.000 Because George Latimer pointed out that Jamal Bowman had gotten a bunch of support from Dearborn, Michigan and San Francisco, which as you heard a moment ago, Jamal Bowman literally said.

00:19:54.000 Also, by the way, when George Latimer suggested that Jamal Bowman was getting support from Dearborn, what he meant by that is that Dearborn is an incredibly radical, pro-Islamist place by the data, by the pictures, by the video, and that's the people who support Jamal Bowman, which happens to be true. 0.84

00:20:08.000 But here's Abby Phillip trying to go after George Latimer, suggesting he's an Islamophobe.

00:20:12.000 And if you listen to the media, then the battle between Latimer and Bowman is just a battle between Islamophobia and antisemitism, when in reality, it's a battle between sanity and insanity.

00:20:20.000 But here is CNN doing what they do.

00:20:23.000 You're critiquing Jamal Bowman for getting money from outside of the district, from Dearborn, Michigan.

00:20:29.000 That was viewed as, by Bowman, an Islamophobic dog whistle.

00:20:35.000 Could you just address that and also address how you can make that critique while also receiving money from outside of the district as well?

00:20:43.000 Now, what I said was referring to where he had raised money from.

00:20:48.000 It's not a dog whistle of anything.

00:20:49.000 He had a major fundraiser in California.

00:20:52.000 He raised more money in California in the last report than he made from New York.

00:20:55.000 So it wasn't a dog whistle about California.

00:20:58.000 And as far as Dearborn, Michigan is concerned, Representative Tlaib and the incumbent formed a joint fundraising committee on February 14th.

00:21:06.000 She draws her money from her district, and she's based in Dearborn, Michigan.

00:21:09.000 It's a geographic reference, not a demographic reference.

00:21:15.000 Okay, again, the fact the media have tried to make this into an Islamophobia issue just demonstrates what the media are. 0.99

00:21:21.000 So again, the five lessons from Jamal Bowman getting his ass kicked. 0.98

00:21:23.000 One, radical leftism, radically unpopular outside of a few radical left-wing enclaves. 0.99

00:21:27.000 Two, online is not real life.

00:21:29.000 Three, political money is going to follow vulnerable candidates into vulnerable districts. 1.00

00:21:34.000 Four, left-wing intersectionalism is ugly and radical and stupid. 1.00

00:21:37.000 And five, the media echo chamber is hurting Democrats. 1.00

00:21:40.000 Why does this all matter?

00:21:41.000 It has national ramifications, which brings us to the presidential race.

00:21:45.000 So Joe Biden, all he had to do, the basis of his election in 2020, is that he was a dead man who was moderate.

00:21:51.000 That was the entire thing.

00:21:52.000 That he was the George Latimer of the presidential race.

00:21:55.000 He was just kind of a normal Democrat in a super abnormal time.

00:21:59.000 And then he proceeded to turn his administration over to nut jobs.

00:22:03.000 He proceeded to turn his administration into a radical left policy think tank.

00:22:07.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.

00:22:08.000 First, as social unrest escalates and crime rates climb, securing the safety of your family is really, really important.

00:22:14.000 Introducing the Burna Less Lethal Pistol Launcher.

00:22:17.000 It's been developed by a team of common-sense gun owners who understand the importance of having choices.

00:22:20.000 They engineered the Burna Launcher as a powerful tool for self-defense, allowing users to de-escalate threatening situations without resorting to deadly force.

00:22:27.000 Now, listen, I'm a gun owner.

00:22:28.000 I love the Second Amendment.

00:22:29.000 I have four pistols, a shotgun, and an AR.

00:22:31.000 But the fact is that if, God forbid, I had to do something in my home, It might be nice to have an alternative option that doesn't involve possible death.

00:22:39.000 Well, this is where Burna comes in. 1.00

00:22:41.000 There are legal problems if, God forbid, you actually have to shoot somebody in your home using lethal force.

00:22:45.000 The Burna is a safer, more sensible alternative that could potentially save lives on both sides, protecting both the user and the aggressor.

00:22:51.000 For those who are adverse to owning a firearm, the Burna is the optimal choice, delivering formidable stopping power without having to take a life.

00:22:56.000 Prevents accidents, too.

00:22:57.000 The BRNA is an indispensable tool to keep you and your family safe.

00:22:59.000 It's legal in all 50 states.

00:23:01.000 No background checks or permits required.

00:23:02.000 They've received over 15,000 four-and-a-half-star reviews, and they are hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

00:23:07.000 The BRNA isn't just an option. 0.57

00:23:08.000 It's an essential component of responsible, non-lethal protection.

00:23:13.000 That's b-y-r-n-a dot com slash ben to check out the latest news about BRNA.

00:23:18.000 That's b-y-r-n-a. 1.00

00:23:19.000 So Nancy Pelosi was interviewed yesterday by Anderson Cooper on CNN.

00:23:23.000 And here are the issues she thinks are at the top of the heap for Democrats.

00:23:27.000 When you say San Francisco supported Jamaal Bowman, well, San Francisco is now defining Joe Biden's policy agenda for 2024, according to Nancy Pelosi.

00:23:37.000 I saw a poll today that said among young people 18 to 30 that Biden was ahead by 23 points.

00:23:44.000 That people did care about a woman's right to choose, LGBTQ and minority issues.

00:23:49.000 They cared about the planet and the rest.

00:23:52.000 So, again, we don't agonize.

00:23:55.000 We organize to get out that vote.

00:23:59.000 Trans rights and climate issues.

00:24:00.000 That's going to be the campaign for Joe Biden.

00:24:02.000 Well, good luck with that.

00:24:03.000 You want to run Jamal Bowman's campaign?

00:24:04.000 We'll see how that works for you nationally.

00:24:06.000 Meanwhile, the Obama pod bros over at Pod Save America, they've been lamenting the state of the race.

00:24:10.000 They're sounding the alarm.

00:24:12.000 They're saying they think that Biden will eventually pull it out because the American people will come around, but they too are freaking out.

00:24:18.000 If you look at polls of voters who say that they're following the race closely, getting their news from TV, getting their news from newspapers, Joe Biden has a huge lead with those voters.

00:24:27.000 And that's true within the Democratic Party as well.

00:24:30.000 I think where he's struggling is among younger voters, black voters, Latino voters, white voters, people who just aren't paying as close attention to politics, who aren't tuned in.

00:24:39.000 And one of the reasons they're not tuned in is because they're cynical about politics and they're frustrated about politics.

00:24:46.000 Okay, so the low information voters are gonna come back to him?

00:24:50.000 Good luck with that particular appeal.

00:24:52.000 Which brings us to the debate.

00:24:53.000 So the debate is tomorrow night.

00:24:56.000 And the question is going to be Donald Trump's tactics more than anything else.

00:25:00.000 So Hillary Clinton is back and she's worse than ever. 1.00

00:25:03.000 She has a piece in the New York Times called, I've debated Trump and Biden.

00:25:07.000 Here's what I'm watching for.

00:25:09.000 Because this is what you need is input from Hillary Clinton. 0.98

00:25:12.000 Under all circumstances, we need input from Hillary Clinton.

00:25:15.000 So just a reminder, here's how Donald Trump shellacked Hillary Clinton during their set of debates, just so we have some context for this.

00:25:22.000 Here are some of Donald Trump's greatest hits.

00:25:25.000 This was locker room talk.

00:25:27.000 I'm not proud of it.

00:25:29.000 I apologize to my family.

00:25:30.000 I apologize to the American people.

00:25:32.000 If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse.

00:25:36.000 Minor words and his was action.

00:25:38.000 Hillary Clinton attacked those same women. 1.00

00:25:40.000 It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.

00:25:47.000 Because you'd be in jail.

00:25:48.000 We have a divided nation because people like her, and believe me, She has tremendous hate in her heart.

00:25:55.000 And when she said deplorables, she meant it.

00:26:01.000 A lot.

00:26:02.000 That was October 2016.

00:26:03.000 So here's what Hillary is now advising to Joe Biden.

00:26:08.000 By the way, you want to talk about making a public appeal?

00:26:16.000 That is a way to really draw in those blue-collar voters, is to talk about how you co-produced a Broadway musical about the suffragettes, and you had a great time at the Tony Awards.

00:26:25.000 This is a woman of the people, is Hillary Clinton. 0.72

00:26:29.000 From Suffs to Hamilton, I love theater about politics, but not the other way around.

00:26:32.000 Too often we approach pivotal moments like this week's debate between President Biden and Donald Trump like drama critics.

00:26:36.000 We're picking a president, not the best actor.

00:26:39.000 I'm the only person to have debated both men, says Hillary Clinton.

00:26:42.000 I know the excruciating pressure of walking onto that stage and that it is nearly impossible to focus on substance when Mr. Trump is involved.

00:26:48.000 In our three debates in 2016, he unleashed a blizzard of interruptions, insults, and lies that overwhelmed the moderators and did a disservice to the country who tuned in to learn about our visions for the country.

00:26:57.000 It is a waste of time to try to refute Mr. Trump's argument like in a normal debate.

00:27:00.000 It's nearly impossible to identify what his arguments even are.

00:27:03.000 He starts with nonsense and then digresses into blather.

00:27:06.000 This has only gotten worse in the years since we debated.

00:27:08.000 I was not surprised that after a recent meeting, several chief executives said Trump, as one journalist described it, could not keep a straight thought and was all over the map.

00:27:14.000 Yet expectations for him are so low that if he doesn't literally light himself on fire on Thursday evening, some will say he was downright presidential.

00:27:21.000 Now, this part is correct, actually.

00:27:25.000 Not that Trump is scattered and crazy, but the reality is that we've talked about the low expectations for Joe Biden, namely that he stays alive and breathes.

00:27:34.000 The expectations for Trump are also low.

00:27:36.000 If Trump is not volatile on the stage, he probably wins.

00:27:40.000 If Trump is not volatile on the stage, if he is in control Trump, he probably wins.

00:27:43.000 This part Hillary is correct about. 0.55

00:27:45.000 We'll get to more on this in just one second. 0.97

00:27:47.000 First, if you've checked out what our public schools are doing lately with the kids, it's trash. 0.87

00:27:52.000 I mean, they are truly indoctrinating kids and everything from CRT to radical gender theory. 1.00

00:27:56.000 The garbage they are pushing is terrible. 0.98

00:27:58.000 I literally wrote a book on this like 20 years ago called Brainwash. 0.98

00:28:01.000 A huge percentage of today's teachers are graduating from woke universities where Marxist professors teach them they must go forth and indoctrinate your kids with their ideology.

00:28:09.000 You need to get your kids out of government-controlled schools and into Freedom Project Academy.

00:28:14.000 FPA has perfected online learning, offering live on-demand and homeschool courses for kids K-12.

00:28:19.000 Freedom Project Academy was built on Judeo-Christian values and classical curricula.

00:28:22.000 Students read full books, write in cursive, they study the full scope of history.

00:28:50.000 That's freedomforschool.com.

00:28:53.000 She says he interrupts and bullies.

00:28:54.000 He stalked me around the stage at one point. 0.95

00:28:56.000 That was the dumbest thing about the 2016 election was when Hillary was claiming that Donald Trump was like walking around following her on the stage and threatening her. 0.99

00:29:03.000 It's a really, really ridiculous pseudo-feminist line. 1.00

00:29:07.000 She says she wants to appear dominant and throw his opponent off balance. 0.92

00:29:09.000 These ploys will fall flat if Mr. Biden is as direct and forceful as he was when engaging Republican hecklers at the State of the Union address in March.

00:29:15.000 The president has facts and truth on his side.

00:29:19.000 In 2016, I prepared intensely for the debate, says Hillary Clinton, because I knew I had to find a way to cut through Mr. Trump's antics and help the American people understand what was really at stake.

00:29:27.000 In 90-minute mock debates on an identical stage, I practiced keeping my cool in the face of hard questions and outright lies about my record and character.

00:29:33.000 A long-time advisor played Mr. Trump and did everything he could do to provoke, rattle, and enrage me.

00:29:37.000 It worked.

00:29:38.000 Unfortunately, Mr. Biden starts from a disadvantage because there's no way he can spend as much time preparing as I did eight years ago.

00:29:44.000 Being president isn't a day job.

00:29:45.000 It's an everything, everywhere, all at once job.

00:29:47.000 As viewers, we should try not to get hung up on theatrics.

00:29:49.000 Here are three things to watch for.

00:29:51.000 So she's basically admitting from the outset that Trump is likely to win the debate.

00:29:55.000 She's admitting that in theatrical terms, Trump is likely to win.

00:29:58.000 But here's what she says.

00:29:59.000 Quote, first, pay attention to how the candidates talk about people, not just policies.

00:30:04.000 And then she talks about Roe versus Wade.

00:30:07.000 She says, on Thursday, Trump will most likely say he wants to leave abortion to the states.

00:30:10.000 He hopes that sounds moderate.

00:30:12.000 But it really means he's endorsing the most extreme abortion me- ah, yadda yadda yadda.

00:30:15.000 Okay, but can Joe Biden talk credibly about people?

00:30:20.000 He's the least sympathetic person in American politics.

00:30:23.000 Every time something bad happens to someone else, all he does is reflect it back at himself and talk about how heartbroken he was when Beau died.

00:30:31.000 Second, says Hillary Clinton, Americans should try to see through the bluster and focus on the fundamentals at stake.

00:30:37.000 Okay, again, that is a kind of call for everyone to focus in on January 6th, but that's not going to work if Trump is able to point out clearly that this race is about 2024, not about 2020.

00:30:48.000 Finally, she says, third, when you see these two men side by side, think about the real choice in this election.

00:30:52.000 It's between chaos and competence.

00:30:53.000 Again, this dog is not going to hunt because Joe Biden is not competent and he is chaotic.

00:30:58.000 The world is a significantly more chaotic place under Joe Biden than it was under Donald Trump.

00:31:02.000 It doesn't matter what Trump tweets.

00:31:04.000 It matters how the world is.

00:31:05.000 The world is a worse place because Joe Biden is president of the United States.

00:31:09.000 Now, for his part, Donald Trump is doing the right thing.

00:31:12.000 He is now increasing expectations ahead of the debate.

00:31:15.000 For Joe Biden, as I've suggested that he should do for the last couple of months.

00:31:19.000 Setting the bar higher than not dead would be good.

00:31:22.000 Here was Donald Trump the other day saying that actually Joe Biden is a worthy debater when they've jabbed him full of drugs, which is true.

00:31:29.000 Do you believe he's in cognitive decline, Mr. President?

00:31:31.000 Well, I shouldn't be the one to say that, but I don't think he's doing particularly well.

00:31:34.000 But I didn't think he was well 25 years ago.

00:31:36.000 I thought he was not a smart person.

00:31:38.000 And that was told to me by a certain member of the Kennedy family, who was actually very friendly with me through a Palm Beach relationship.

00:31:47.000 And I was told that very strongly, but so I was never a fan of his.

00:31:51.000 But I will say he beat He beat Paul Ryan, it was still years ago, but he beat Paul Ryan pretty badly.

00:31:59.000 I assume he's going to be somebody that will be a worthy debater.

00:32:03.000 Yeah, I would say so.

00:32:05.000 I don't want to underestimate him.

00:32:09.000 Again, that is smart.

00:32:11.000 Meanwhile, the White House is making a bit of a critical mistake.

00:32:13.000 Karine Jean-Pierre says Joe Biden will meet the moment.

00:32:16.000 So Democrats are actually now making the mistake that Trump was making earlier.

00:32:20.000 They're now talking down Trump and talking up their boy.

00:32:22.000 That's the wrong move.

00:32:23.000 What they actually should be doing is saying, listen, Joe Biden is in fact 81 years old, but everybody knows that he's a solid genteel citizen.

00:32:30.000 And Donald Trump is a rough and tough debater.

00:32:32.000 It's going to be a rough debate for President Biden, but we expect that he'll pull through.

00:32:35.000 Instead, they're really saying that Joe Biden is going to be like a masterful commander of the material.

00:32:39.000 Good luck.

00:32:41.000 As you know, when there is an opportunity for this president to speak to millions of Americans, he shows up and he meets the moment.

00:32:50.000 So obviously the president's going to look forward to Thursday doing just that, laying out what he normally does, what he's done the last three and a half years, how he's going to continue to build on the economy.

00:33:01.000 We're talking about Yeah, historic numbers in creating jobs, low unemployment rate, and not forgetting that we can't leave communities that have been normally left behind, behind.

00:33:16.000 So, again, talk up your guy and talk down Trump.

00:33:18.000 This is what Democrats are now attempting to do.

00:33:21.000 We'll see if that works out for them.

00:33:23.000 I don't know.

00:33:23.000 I feel like they're now making the mistake that I'd warned Trump not to make, which is don't lower expectations for your opponent.

00:33:29.000 They're now basically suggesting that Trump is going to set himself on fire on the stage.

00:33:32.000 Hillary herself is saying this, and she's right about this, actually.

00:33:35.000 The Democrats have set the bar for Trump at does not actually explode into flames.

00:33:40.000 Does not experience instantaneous conflagration.

00:33:45.000 I mean, okay, you want to lower that bar for Trump.

00:33:47.000 That might not go the way you expect it to go.

00:33:49.000 In just one second, we'll get to Joe Biden's attempt to basically buy off dictatorships to lower oil prices.

00:34:27.000 Because we believe in giving you the full story, we're not stopping when the debate

00:34:31.000 Our post-show recap will dissect what all this means for the future of our republic.

00:34:33.000 Watch it all live on Daily Wire backstage tomorrow night starting at 8.30 PM Eastern.

00:34:37.000 Eastern, over at dailywire.com.

00:34:40.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden, desperate for re-election, is now going soft, even softer than normal, on Russia and Iran.

00:34:45.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration wants to keep gas prices stable ahead of the election by encouraging oil to flow into global markets.

00:34:51.000 The effort has run square into another priority, being tough on adversaries Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.

00:34:57.000 Remember, it's the Democrats and the media who have been claiming that Donald Trump is a cat's paw of the Russians.

00:35:02.000 Meanwhile, it is Joe Biden who's making concessions to the Russians in the middle of a war with Ukraine,

00:35:07.000 the Iranians in the middle of a multi-front war that they are waging against Israel,

00:35:10.000 and Venezuela as, by the way, it threatens to invade a neighboring country

00:35:15.000 in South America.

00:35:17.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, the policy has led to softer than expected sanctions

00:35:20.000 on major oil producers, according to diplomats, former government officials,

00:35:23.000 and energy industry players briefed by current officials.

00:35:26.000 A case in point arrived on Tuesday when the US levied fresh sanctions against Iran.

00:35:30.000 The measures affect a fraction of the country's oil exports

00:35:32.000 and are unlikely to gum up global markets, according to analysts.

00:35:35.000 A senior administration official said the president has wanted to do everything he could

00:35:39.000 to make sure American consumers have the lowest possible price at the pump,

00:35:42.000 as it affects families' daily lives.

00:35:44.000 So while Iran is mobilizing terrorists all around the Middle East, Joe Biden is going easy on them in terms of sanctions to ensure lower oil prices for his reelect.

00:35:52.000 And he's doing the same thing in Russia, and he's doing the same thing in his Venezuela. 0.99

00:35:54.000 What a coward he is. 1.00

00:35:55.000 Truly a coward. 1.00

00:35:57.000 Meanwhile, his immigration policy continues to be an enormous, dangerous failure. 0.95

00:36:01.000 In the shock report of the day, NBC News is now reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 immigrants who have come to the U.S.

00:36:10.000 from Central Asia and elsewhere as, quote, subjects of concern because they were brought in by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network.

00:36:17.000 Here is NBC's report on this shocking story.

00:36:21.000 NBC News has learned more than 50 migrants with potential ties to an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network are at large in America.

00:36:30.000 Many illegally crossed the border and were released into the U.S.

00:36:33.000 by Border Patrol because there was no information suggesting terror ties at the time.

00:36:38.000 Now their whereabouts are unknown as immigration agents look to arrest them.

00:36:42.000 U.S.

00:36:42.000 officials tell us, saying they're among a group of over 400 migrants DHS identified in the U.S.

00:36:48.000 from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Russia as subjects of concern because they were brought to the U.S.

00:36:57.000 by an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network.

00:37:02.000 Again, this is all because of Joe Biden's loose immigration policy.

00:37:05.000 The question when it comes to immigration is how many Americans are going to have to die in order for Joe Biden to win re-election.

00:37:11.000 Which brings up the story of Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston.

00:37:15.000 She was a 12-year-old girl who was killed by an illegal immigrant.

00:37:19.000 According to the New York Times, the killing of a 12-year-old Houston girl found last week in a shallow water of a city drainage ditch after having been strangled was already a horrific crime.

00:37:27.000 It doesn't get any worse, said the city's mayor, John Whitmer.

00:37:30.000 Then investigators arrested two recent Venezuelan migrants and charged them with killing the girl.

00:37:35.000 Suddenly, the killing, which had ripped apart a Houston family, became the latest flashpoint in a debate over immigration.

00:37:39.000 Notice, the New York Times, the way that it works is, when a story does not benefit Democrats, the story is about Republicans pouncing.

00:37:45.000 That is always the way that this works.

00:37:46.000 Always and forever.

00:37:49.000 Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has urged the death penalty for the men, saying Jocelyn would, quote, be alive today if Biden enforced immigration laws at the border.

00:37:55.000 That, of course, is true. 0.83

00:37:58.000 And the fact is that Joe Biden's policies will get people around the world killed, all so he can win re-election.

00:38:03.000 Joe Biden's open border policies are a sop to his radical left.

00:38:06.000 And going back to Jamal Bowman, it ain't gonna win him election.

00:38:09.000 Radical left-wing policies are unpopular. 0.98

00:38:11.000 Joe Biden is getting his ass kicked on the immigration issue by Donald Trump. 0.93

00:38:14.000 And when it comes to foreign policy, going soft on Russia and Iran and Venezuela in order to lower the price of gas at the pump by pennies, after a 44% increase in average national gas price, that ain't gonna do it either. 0.98

00:38:27.000 But Joe Biden is desperate at this point.

00:38:28.000 How desperate is Joe Biden at this point?

00:38:30.000 Well, he's pulling out all the stops. 0.99

00:38:32.000 Yesterday, in the stupidest story of the day, 16 Nobel Prize winning economists suggested that Donald Trump would ruin the economy. 0.98

00:38:40.000 Here's what Axios says. 0.98

00:38:42.000 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists are jumping into the presidential campaign with a stark warning.

00:38:46.000 Former President Trump's plans would reignite inflation and cause lasting harm to the global economy if he wins in November.

00:38:51.000 The Nobel laureates are sending their academic prestige to a political argument the Biden administration has been making for weeks.

00:38:56.000 Inflation would be worse under Trump.

00:39:00.000 Democrats have been attempting to play off the fact that Joe Biden has brought about 40-year highs in inflation.

00:39:05.000 These economists claim That Donald Trump's policies are going to increase inflation.

00:39:12.000 The question I have is how many of these so-called genius economists predicted inflation at the beginning of Joe Biden's term?

00:39:21.000 The answer, as far as I'm aware, none of them.

00:39:24.000 The message has been spearheaded by, guess, wait for it, Joseph Stiglitz.

00:39:28.000 He won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2001, and he is also a socialist redistributionist.

00:39:35.000 He was joined by a bunch of other economists, none of whom I'm aware actually predicted the increase in prices thanks to Joe Biden's economic plans.

00:39:43.000 So if they didn't predict the last inflationary cycle, I'm not exactly going to rely on them to predict this inflationary cycle.

00:39:48.000 This all smacks of that time 51 so-called intelligence experts testified just before the 2020 election that Joe Biden's son Hunter had a laptop and that laptop was Russian disinformation.

00:39:59.000 So I don't buy it.

00:40:00.000 You trotting out a bunch of like-minded Nobel Prize winners doesn't mean that anyone is going to believe you.

00:40:06.000 Meanwhile, Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, she is trying to blame Donald Trump's tax cuts and job to act for economic shortcomings, which again, I noticed that those economic shortcomings only became apparent with COVID and then were exacerbated by Joe Biden entering office and spending more money than God.

00:40:23.000 The signature policy from the Trump years was the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.

00:40:30.000 And it promised an investment boom, which really did not materialize.

00:40:36.000 It gave huge tax breaks to corporations and to wealthy individuals.

00:40:43.000 And it resulted in an enormous increase in the deficit and lowered tax revenues below historic norms.

00:40:51.000 And I think it's responsible for many of the problems that we face now with our fiscal trajectory.

00:41:02.000 And so that would concern me to leave all of that in place.

00:41:07.000 Let me point out that people only fail up as long as they are Democrats in the industry of economics.

00:41:12.000 Janet Yellen was, of course, the chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018 with her loose fiscal policy.

00:41:19.000 So, again, trotting these people out to pretend the economy is fine, except for Trump, that is not going to work.

00:41:25.000 Meanwhile, in other news from the experts, the Surgeon General of the United States has now declared that there is a national public health crisis with regard to guns. 0.97

00:41:39.000 Again, if this is the Biden administration pitch, that people like this guy, that people like the Surgeon General know what they're talking about, this is Vivek Murthy, that gun violence is a public health emergency, It's just clown, it's clown world over there. 0.64

00:41:56.000 Here's Vic Murthy claiming that the guns are the problem, of course.

00:42:00.000 I guess they're contagious.

00:42:02.000 I know whenever I see a gun crime on TV, a crime including a gun, I immediately, my gun is out of control.

00:42:07.000 I go to my safe, I open it up, all four of my pistols, my shotgun and my AR all immediately jump out into my hands and start firing randomly because it's contagious, you know.

00:42:15.000 Here we go.

00:42:17.000 Today, for the first time in the history of our office, I am issuing a Surgeon General's advisory on firearm violence.

00:42:25.000 It outlines the urgent threat firearm violence poses to the health and well-being of our country.

00:42:30.000 The Surgeon General's Advisory lays out the approach we can take to address firearm violence as the public health crisis that it is.

00:42:38.000 This includes implementing community violence prevention programs and firearm risk reduction strategies, improving access to mental health care for those exposed to or at risk for firearm violence, Everything's a public health crisis.

00:42:53.000 He declared loneliness a public health crisis as well.

00:42:56.000 This is one of the problems when you see government as the solution rather than government as part of the problem.

00:43:00.000 Meanwhile, other experts are coming out now and trying to claim that pro-life laws are somehow increasing the mortality rate.

00:43:08.000 In the greatest example of manipulating statistics I've seen in the recent past, according to the Associated Press, in the wake of Texas' abortion ban, the state's infant death rate increased and more died of birth defects, according to a study published by Johns Hopkins University.

00:43:22.000 The researchers looked at how many infants died before their first birthday after Texas adopted its abortion ban in September 2021.

00:43:26.000 They compared infant deaths in Texas to those in 28 states, some also with restrictions.

00:43:31.000 They calculated there were 216 more deaths in Texas than expected between March and December the next year.

00:43:37.000 They said the 2022 mortality rate for infants went up 8% to 5.75 per 1,000 live births compared to a 2% increase for the rest of the United States.

00:43:45.000 Okay, so let me explain how to manipulate statistics here.

00:43:48.000 This is like an amazing classic example.

00:43:50.000 So, what they are saying is that because of the abortion ban, more children were born who had congenital defects and problems and who died in their first year of life.

00:44:00.000 And so overall, the number of babies who were born who died, the rate went up.

00:44:04.000 Okay, well, That's a weird way of putting that stat because I have another stat for you.

00:44:10.000 Before the abortion ban, let's say all those babies and many other babies were killed in the womb.

00:44:17.000 It turns out their mortality rate was 100%, not 5.75 per 1,000.

00:44:26.000 In other words, when more babies live who otherwise would have been aborted, then also some of those babies who have defects are going to die.

00:44:38.000 But if you had the abortion ban not in place, not only would all of those babies have died, but many other babies also would have died.

00:44:48.000 You want to undermine the expert class, particularly in medicine?

00:44:50.000 This is the way to do it.

00:44:52.000 Send out the Surgeon General to talk about gun violence, and then proclaim at Johns Hopkins University that the infant mortality rate went up because you were killing fewer babies in the womb.

00:45:02.000 Really solid stuff there from our scientific experts, to science ruling again.

00:45:06.000 It's more on this in a moment.

00:45:07.000 First, are you still struggling with those back taxes or unfiled returns?

00:45:09.000 Well, the IRS is coming.

00:45:11.000 They've escalated collections by adding 20,000 new agents and sending millions of demand letters.

00:46:23.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden did have a bad day in the court yesterday.

00:46:26.000 Two separate federal courts ruled against Joe Biden's latest attempt to end around the Supreme Court.

00:46:30.000 Remember that time that Joe Biden says that he really, really believes in the rule of law, like he loves the rule of law, particularly when Donald Trump is getting convicted?

00:46:37.000 Well, he doesn't love the rule of law so much, particularly when it comes to the Supreme Court.

00:46:41.000 According to Reason.com, the new loan forgiveness plan, known as the SAVE plan, which would discharge at least $156 billion in federally backed student loan debt, is a successor to the one the Supreme Court invalidated in Biden vs. Nebraska, but two separate federal district courts ruled against its legality in lawsuits brought by different coalitions of GOP-led states.

00:47:01.000 By the way, the judges who ruled against Joe Biden here were both Barack Obama appointees.

00:47:07.000 So he's just having a rough time in the courts.

00:47:09.000 So he's just going to rail against the courts and so are his allies.

00:47:11.000 Here's Nancy Pelosi suggesting the Supreme Court has gone rogue, which is weird because they just did like an 8-1 decision in favor of particular aspects of gun control, for example.

00:47:20.000 But here is Nancy. 0.99

00:47:21.000 Again, these are all the institutionalists.

00:47:22.000 These are the people who are going to save democracy.

00:47:24.000 That would be like Nancy Pelosi ripping on the Supreme Court and saying it's corrupt now. 0.80

00:47:29.000 You know, they've yet to rule on this immunity thing, all this thing about Alito and the flags and Clarence Thomas and his wife.

00:47:36.000 I mean, do you have confidence in the Supreme Court?

00:47:40.000 No, I think they've gone rogue.

00:47:41.000 It's most unfortunate.

00:47:43.000 But it's unfortunate further to see what the other justices, what happened to the, what happened to the Chief Justice?

00:47:50.000 Did he go weak or did he go rogue?

00:47:52.000 I don't know.

00:47:55.000 Okay, yeah, these are people who deeply respect the rule of law.

00:47:59.000 I'm sure that the anchors at the debate tomorrow night will ask Joe Biden about that, his respect for the rule of law while he rips on the Supreme Court.

00:48:06.000 That'd be the actual question.

00:48:08.000 Because they're going to ask Donald Trump about January 6th, and election denial, and all of that kind of stuff, and suggest he's a threat to democracy and the institutions of the republic.

00:48:15.000 Will they ask Joe Biden about the fact that his party has threatened to pack the court, and that Joe Biden says that the Supreme Court is now filled with corrupt people and has lost its legitimacy?

00:48:24.000 I wonder.

00:48:25.000 I wonder.

00:48:26.000 Okay, so, speaking of CNN, obviously they're gonna moderate the debate tomorrow night, and why not, with all of their journalistic credibility?

00:48:32.000 So yesterday, CNN's Sarah Sidner had on a drag queen We already see so many attacks on our queer community. 0.67

00:48:39.000 to talk about how it's a scary time to exist in America as a drag queen. 0.91

00:48:43.000 I noticed it's not scary enough for you not to be on national TV wearing drag.

00:48:47.000 So it doesn't seem that scary. Honestly, when I first saw this, I wondered which one of these

00:48:52.000 people was the CNN anchor because CNN is so filled with clowns. We already see so many attacks on our 0.96

00:48:58.000 queer community. I already don't feel safe in my own hometown just dressed in drag like this. 1.00

00:49:05.000 And it's very.

00:49:06.000 Why?

00:49:06.000 scary for queer people to exist in a time where we see this kind of rhetoric being pushed

00:49:12.000 by our lawmakers and the people who should care about other issues that actually affect

00:49:17.000 the American people other than attacking our community, our LGBTQIA plus community. 0.95

00:49:24.000 It's very disappointing and I hope for better for our country.

00:49:29.000 Why would people look weirdly at this person?

00:49:32.000 Why?

00:49:33.000 I don't understand.

00:49:34.000 But I mean that looks perfectly normal to me.

00:49:36.000 I- what- what- Why would you look weirdly at that?

00:49:40.000 But CNN has its own perspective on this.

00:49:42.000 Here's Sarah Sidner from CNN praising the look.

00:49:45.000 The queens are calling on lawmakers to pass a National Equality Act.

00:49:49.000 It could amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to provide explicit protections for LGBTQ individuals.

00:49:56.000 Joining me now is drag queen and activist Bridgette Bandit.

00:50:00.000 Thank you, darling.

00:50:00.000 Wow.

00:50:01.000 What a wonderful look you have this morning.

00:50:05.000 I know that took you some time.

00:50:09.000 Thank you so much.

00:50:13.000 I'm not kidding.

00:50:14.000 It's a drag queen who is a woman. 1.00

00:50:14.000 been informed I'm an error. That's a woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman. 1.00

00:50:20.000 I'm not kidding. It's a drag queen who is a woman. So we now have, we've now moved 1.00

00:50:29.000 beyond the boundaries of logic.

00:50:33.000 So this woman couldn't just, you know, be a woman. 1.00

00:50:36.000 She had to dress up as a man, dressed up as a woman. 1.00

00:50:41.000 But it's society that has a problem, folks.

00:50:43.000 It's society and our lack of tolerance that has a woman, that is a woman. 1.00

00:50:49.000 Bandit is non-binary and uses both she, her, and they, them pronouns.

00:50:54.000 Wow.

00:50:55.000 What a country we've created for ourselves, folks.

00:50:58.000 George Washington would have been so proud.

00:51:00.000 Alrighty, coming up, we'll be discussing everything political, including the upcoming UK elections with Douglas Carswell.
