Jamal Bowman was one of the worst people in Congress. He was ousted dramatically in a very high-spending primary in New York s 16th Congressional District. And I think this has some lessons for politics writ large in the United States. Lesson 1) Radical intersectional leftism is really unpopular unless you re in a radical left-wing district. Lesson 2) Bernie Sanders' approach to politics is a very specific approach that does not have a lot of takers outside of a few specific enclaves in the U.S. And it turns out that when you run in a district that is a little bit more diverse than AOC s district, or Summer Lee s district in Pennsylvania, that makes you vulnerable anyway because that district is not nearly as radical as AOC's district or Pramila Jayapal's district in Washington. And that s why Cori Bush, who is also vulnerable, even though the Jewish population in that particular district only represents about 2% of the total of that district, is vulnerable anyway. This was not a close race for a long time. This was a race that had not been close, and that s not a shock because this is not a district built for radicalism. And that's why the late infusion of money from AIPAC really held the ground steady against him for months, but he ends up losing last night by about 20 points. And the most important part of this election is whether we have the courage to stand up to the oligarchs and tell them they re not only not going to control the control of our government, but the control they re gonna control our government. We decide the future of our democracy, not the control we re gonna get out to the wall, or not the power they re going to have in our government Get your tickets to the party that s going to tell us what to vote for us, not what we can do, get our tickets to our government to control us, and get us to the vote, not to the election, and tell us who we are going to be in control of the future, not who we decide to be, and what we're going to decide, not how we're gonna be in power, and who we can be? And we're not here to decide it, we're here to make it or not, are we are here to be a part of the conversation, or are we going to vote, or we don't have a say in it?
00:00:00.000So last night, radical congressperson Jamal Bowman, Democrat from New York's 16th congressional district, he lost his primary by nearly 20 points.
00:00:08.000And 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.
00:00:24.000Jamal Bowman was one of the worst people in Congress.
00:00:26.000He, 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.
00:00:34.000And I think this has some lessons for politics writ large in the United States.
00:00:40.000Lesson number one, it turns out that radical intersectional leftism is really, really unpopular unless you're in a radical left-wing district.
00:00:48.000So New York's 16th Congressional District is about 9% Jewish.
00:00:52.000A lot of those Jews have voted Democrat, habitually, but they're not part of the intersectional coalition.
00:00:57.000They'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.
00:01:07.000A lot of Jamal Bowman's money in this particular race came from outside of the district.
00:01:10.000A 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.
00:01:17.000Jamal Bowman also spent millions and millions and millions of dollars.
00:01:20.000A huge amount of that money was coming from outside of his district, as he himself has acknowledged pretty publicly.
00:01:26.000And 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.
00:01:38.000Radical leftism is not, in fact, all that popular outside of a very few specific enclaves in the United States.
00:01:45.000This 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.
00:01:55.000She'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.
00:02:05.000So, Jamal Bowman gets absolutely clocked last night.
00:02:10.000This had not been a close race for a long time.
00:02:12.000The 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.
00:02:26.000So 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.
00:02:36.000And that, of course, shouldn't be a shock because this is not a district built for radicalism.
00:02:41.000It 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.
00:02:52.000And 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.
00:03:00.000Again, that is a very specific ideology.
00:03:03.000It's a luxury belief system, in other words.
00:03:05.000And it turns out that again, outside of a small group of extremely insular places, most people don't like it.
00:03:12.000So Bernie had cut an ad for Jamal Bowman.
00:03:14.000Hakeem Jeffries did a last minute round of robocalls, donated like five grand to Jamal Bowman.
00:03:20.000But everybody kind of knew that he was on the way out.
00:03:22.000Here was Bernie's ad in favor of Jamal Bowman.
00:03:26.000We decide the future of our democracy.
00:03:29.000We decide that we want universal child care.
00:03:42.000We want historic investments in home care to take care of our seniors.
00:03:49.000The 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.
00:04:01.000Get everybody you can out to the wall.
00:04:05.000This ridiculous campaign burst into flames.
00:04:08.000It went down like a Hamas rocket on its own hospitals.
00:04:12.000Jamal Bowman came out afterward and he said that he and his supporters will, quote, continue to fight the evils of capitalism, militarism, and racism.
00:04:24.000That doesn't tend to be a particularly popular perspective outside of a very few people.
00:04:29.000Which brings us to lesson number two, online is not real life.
00:04:32.000So online, the weeping, the gnashing of teeth, the wailing over Jamal Bowman's loss is extraordinary.
00:04:39.000But it turns out the vast majority of Americans are somewhat moderate on politics.
00:04:43.000Everybody 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.
00:04:53.000I understand why Congress people do it.
00:04:55.000It's because it used to be that the feedback mechanism you had from your constituents, it used to be letters and phone calls.
00:05:01.000And 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.
00:05:26.000So 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.
00:05:36.000You might want to actually, you know, be outside in the world.
00:05:39.000In this race, Jamal Bowman had 360,000 Twitter followers.
00:06:44.000When you make the switch, you'll get an additional 50% off your very first month of coverage.
00:06:48.000Visit puretalk.com slash Shapiro to upgrade your cell phone service to America's most dependable 5G network and save an extra 50% off that very first month.
00:09:13.000It turns out that people generally prefer moderation, at least in affect, when it comes to their politics.
00:09:22.000Turn 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.
00:09:34.000Turns out that that earns you plaudits on X and doesn't earn you a lot of votes in actual primaries.
00:09:40.000Which brings us to lesson number three.
00:09:42.000A lot of talk about the amount of money that AIPAC put into this race.
00:09:45.000So AIPAC is the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee.
00:09:48.000It is not, in fact, a branch of the Israeli government.
00:09:50.000It has frequently disagreed with the Israeli government, most famously in 2015 when the Israeli government was pushing very, very hard against the Iran deal.
00:09:57.000And AIPAC, which is, in fact, dominated at the top level by political Democrats, did nothing about the Iran deal.
00:10:04.000But AIPAC put a bunch of money into this race.
00:10:05.000Why did they put a bunch of money into this race?
00:10:07.000They did it because Jamal Bowman was already vulnerable.
00:10:10.000Political money follows you into a district when you yourself are a crappy candidate for your district.
00:10:16.000Politico points out that this race, while it was about Israel for a lot of Jewish voters, it was not entirely about Israel.
00:10:23.000It turns out that Jamal Bowman is just a terrible congressperson.
00:10:27.000As Politico points out, Other outspoken progressives won their primaries handily, including AOC, just last night.
00:10:34.000While they did not face electorates quite so primed to eject an Israel skeptic, they heeded other lessons.
00:10:38.000Mind your voting record and personal behavior.
00:10:41.000The ads against Bowman barely even mentioned Israel.
00:10:43.000Instead, the focus was on Bowman's votes against Joe Biden's infrastructure law and against raising the debt ceiling.
00:10:51.000As 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.
00:10:57.000Opposition 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.
00:11:07.000Also, don't alienate your friends back home.
00:11:10.000As 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.
00:11:20.000That means that even the people in Congress, who are supposedly his allies, did almost nothing for him.
00:11:25.000Again, Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, gave him like a $5,000 donation and a late robocall, and that was it.
00:11:32.000According to one House Democrat, this wasn't about ideology as much as it was about how Bowman went about his job.
00:11:37.000Quote, nobody who cares about them tried to help, tried to stop them, tried to say, hey, there's a better way.
00:13:12.000Left-wing intersectional radicalism is ugly, and it's vicious, and it stinks.
00:13:18.000So 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.
00:13:24.000So I'm glad that he was shown the door so he can finally learn what a door actually does.
00:14:20.000And 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.
00:14:38.000It is not because you ought to change your own life.
00:14:41.000It is because the system is victimizing you, and that means disproportionately successful groups are the victimizers.
00:14:46.000Jews are disproportionately successful.
00:16:01.000But apparently that sort of outside money is totally fine.
00:16:04.000It's AIPAC that is obviously the problem.
00:16:06.000And 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.
00:16:23.000You only hear, by the way, the left wing complain about money in politics when they lose.
00:16:27.000Meanwhile, the left wing spends exorbitant sums of cash.
00:16:29.000In fact, APAC and yelling at APAC and suggesting that APAC is an emissary of a foreign nation.
00:16:35.000That 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.
00:16:42.000But 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.
00:16:57.000So, again, the double standard is pretty glaring.
00:16:59.000Here 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.
00:17:08.000Even as I've talked to voters, there are some who are like, I don't want to share who I voted for.
00:17:42.000By the way, talk about sowing and reaping.
00:17:44.000The 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.
00:17:51.000A 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.
00:18:01.000They noticed that the Jamal Bowman campaign used their material in his messaging and polling.
00:18:07.000They then put out a statement after he got his ass kicked, quote, this race was not a referendum on Israel-Palestine policies.
00:18:34.000This 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.
00:18:48.000Okay, so, that brings us finally to lesson number five.
00:18:52.000The 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.
00:18:59.000Remember, 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.
00:19:27.000That media echo chamber is not helping Democrats.
00:19:29.000It is hurting Democrats because it makes Democrats believe that they have momentum when they don't.
00:19:35.000So after his victory, Abby Phillip then grilled George Latimer claiming that he was an Islamophobe, which is just, I'm sorry, this is ridiculous.
00:19:43.000Because 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.
00:19:54.000Also, 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.
00:20:08.000But here's Abby Phillip trying to go after George Latimer, suggesting he's an Islamophobe.
00:20:12.000And 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.
00:20:23.000You're critiquing Jamal Bowman for getting money from outside of the district, from Dearborn, Michigan.
00:20:29.000That was viewed as, by Bowman, an Islamophobic dog whistle.
00:20:35.000Could you just address that and also address how you can make that critique while also receiving money from outside of the district as well?
00:20:43.000Now, what I said was referring to where he had raised money from.
00:20:49.000He had a major fundraiser in California.
00:20:52.000He raised more money in California in the last report than he made from New York.
00:20:55.000So it wasn't a dog whistle about California.
00:20:58.000And as far as Dearborn, Michigan is concerned, Representative Tlaib and the incumbent formed a joint fundraising committee on February 14th.
00:21:06.000She draws her money from her district, and she's based in Dearborn, Michigan.
00:21:09.000It's a geographic reference, not a demographic reference.
00:21:15.000Okay, again, the fact the media have tried to make this into an Islamophobia issue just demonstrates what the media are.
00:21:21.000So again, the five lessons from Jamal Bowman getting his ass kicked.
00:21:23.000One, radical leftism, radically unpopular outside of a few radical left-wing enclaves.
00:21:52.000That he was the George Latimer of the presidential race.
00:21:55.000He was just kind of a normal Democrat in a super abnormal time.
00:21:59.000And then he proceeded to turn his administration over to nut jobs.
00:22:03.000He proceeded to turn his administration into a radical left policy think tank.
00:22:07.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:22:08.000First, as social unrest escalates and crime rates climb, securing the safety of your family is really, really important.
00:22:14.000Introducing the Burna Less Lethal Pistol Launcher.
00:22:17.000It's been developed by a team of common-sense gun owners who understand the importance of having choices.
00:22:20.000They engineered the Burna Launcher as a powerful tool for self-defense, allowing users to de-escalate threatening situations without resorting to deadly force.
00:22:29.000I have four pistols, a shotgun, and an AR.
00:22:31.000But 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.
00:22:41.000There are legal problems if, God forbid, you actually have to shoot somebody in your home using lethal force.
00:22:45.000The Burna is a safer, more sensible alternative that could potentially save lives on both sides, protecting both the user and the aggressor.
00:22:51.000For those who are adverse to owning a firearm, the Burna is the optimal choice, delivering formidable stopping power without having to take a life.
00:23:19.000So Nancy Pelosi was interviewed yesterday by Anderson Cooper on CNN.
00:23:23.000And here are the issues she thinks are at the top of the heap for Democrats.
00:23:27.000When you say San Francisco supported Jamaal Bowman, well, San Francisco is now defining Joe Biden's policy agenda for 2024, according to Nancy Pelosi.
00:23:37.000I saw a poll today that said among young people 18 to 30 that Biden was ahead by 23 points.
00:23:44.000That people did care about a woman's right to choose, LGBTQ and minority issues.
00:23:49.000They cared about the planet and the rest.
00:24:12.000They're saying they think that Biden will eventually pull it out because the American people will come around, but they too are freaking out.
00:24:18.000If 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.
00:24:27.000And that's true within the Democratic Party as well.
00:24:30.000I 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.
00:24:39.000And one of the reasons they're not tuned in is because they're cynical about politics and they're frustrated about politics.
00:24:46.000Okay, so the low information voters are gonna come back to him?
00:24:50.000Good luck with that particular appeal.
00:26:03.000So here's what Hillary is now advising to Joe Biden.
00:26:08.000By the way, you want to talk about making a public appeal?
00:26:16.000That 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.
00:26:25.000This is a woman of the people, is Hillary Clinton.
00:26:29.000From Suffs to Hamilton, I love theater about politics, but not the other way around.
00:26:32.000Too often we approach pivotal moments like this week's debate between President Biden and Donald Trump like drama critics.
00:26:36.000We're picking a president, not the best actor.
00:26:39.000I'm the only person to have debated both men, says Hillary Clinton.
00:26:42.000I know the excruciating pressure of walking onto that stage and that it is nearly impossible to focus on substance when Mr. Trump is involved.
00:26:48.000In 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.
00:26:57.000It is a waste of time to try to refute Mr. Trump's argument like in a normal debate.
00:27:00.000It's nearly impossible to identify what his arguments even are.
00:27:03.000He starts with nonsense and then digresses into blather.
00:27:06.000This has only gotten worse in the years since we debated.
00:27:08.000I 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.
00:27:14.000Yet 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.
00:27:25.000Not 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.
00:27:34.000The expectations for Trump are also low.
00:27:36.000If Trump is not volatile on the stage, he probably wins.
00:27:40.000If Trump is not volatile on the stage, if he is in control Trump, he probably wins.
00:27:45.000We'll get to more on this in just one second.
00:27:47.000First, if you've checked out what our public schools are doing lately with the kids, it's trash.
00:27:52.000I mean, they are truly indoctrinating kids and everything from CRT to radical gender theory.
00:27:56.000The garbage they are pushing is terrible.
00:27:58.000I literally wrote a book on this like 20 years ago called Brainwash.
00:28:01.000A 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.
00:28:09.000You need to get your kids out of government-controlled schools and into Freedom Project Academy.
00:28:14.000FPA has perfected online learning, offering live on-demand and homeschool courses for kids K-12.
00:28:19.000Freedom Project Academy was built on Judeo-Christian values and classical curricula.
00:28:22.000Students read full books, write in cursive, they study the full scope of history.
00:28:26.000Many graduate with knowledge years above their public school peers.
00:28:28.000Right now, you can save 10% on tuition when you enroll at freedomforschool.com.
00:28:54.000He stalked me around the stage at one point.
00:28:56.000That 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.
00:29:03.000It's a really, really ridiculous pseudo-feminist line.
00:29:07.000She says she wants to appear dominant and throw his opponent off balance.
00:29:09.000These 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.
00:29:15.000The president has facts and truth on his side.
00:29:19.000In 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.
00:29:27.000In 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.
00:29:33.000A long-time advisor played Mr. Trump and did everything he could do to provoke, rattle, and enrage me.
00:30:12.000But it really means he's endorsing the most extreme abortion me- ah, yadda yadda yadda.
00:30:15.000Okay, but can Joe Biden talk credibly about people?
00:30:20.000He's the least sympathetic person in American politics.
00:30:23.000Every 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.
00:30:31.000Second, says Hillary Clinton, Americans should try to see through the bluster and focus on the fundamentals at stake.
00:30:37.000Okay, 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.
00:30:48.000Finally, she says, third, when you see these two men side by side, think about the real choice in this election.
00:31:05.000The world is a worse place because Joe Biden is president of the United States.
00:31:09.000Now, for his part, Donald Trump is doing the right thing.
00:31:12.000He is now increasing expectations ahead of the debate.
00:31:15.000For Joe Biden, as I've suggested that he should do for the last couple of months.
00:31:19.000Setting the bar higher than not dead would be good.
00:31:22.000Here 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.
00:31:29.000Do you believe he's in cognitive decline, Mr. President?
00:31:31.000Well, I shouldn't be the one to say that, but I don't think he's doing particularly well.
00:31:34.000But I didn't think he was well 25 years ago.
00:31:38.000And 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.
00:31:47.000And I was told that very strongly, but so I was never a fan of his.
00:31:51.000But I will say he beat He beat Paul Ryan, it was still years ago, but he beat Paul Ryan pretty badly.
00:31:59.000I assume he's going to be somebody that will be a worthy debater.
00:32:23.000What 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.
00:32:30.000And Donald Trump is a rough and tough debater.
00:32:32.000It's going to be a rough debate for President Biden, but we expect that he'll pull through.
00:32:35.000Instead, they're really saying that Joe Biden is going to be like a masterful commander of the material.
00:32:41.000As you know, when there is an opportunity for this president to speak to millions of Americans, he shows up and he meets the moment.
00:32:50.000So 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.
00:33:01.000We'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.
00:33:16.000So, again, talk up your guy and talk down Trump.
00:33:18.000This is what Democrats are now attempting to do.
00:34:00.000Daily Wire Plus is simulcasting the whole debate.
00:34:02.000But let's be honest, you need more than just the candidate's rhetoric.
00:34:05.000That's why we're hosting a special live Daily Wire backstage you absolutely can't miss.
00:34:09.000During the debate, we'll be breaking down every claim, every policy point, and yes, every leftist talking point the moderators inevitably slip in.
00:34:13.000Because we believe in giving you the full story, we're not stopping when the debate ends.
00:34:17.000PM Eastern with a pre-show, they'll arm you with everything you need to cut through the
00:34:40.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden, desperate for re-election, is now going soft, even softer than normal, on Russia and Iran.
00:34:45.000According 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.
00:34:51.000The effort has run square into another priority, being tough on adversaries Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.
00:34:57.000Remember, it's the Democrats and the media who have been claiming that Donald Trump is a cat's paw of the Russians.
00:35:02.000Meanwhile, it is Joe Biden who's making concessions to the Russians in the middle of a war with Ukraine,
00:35:07.000the Iranians in the middle of a multi-front war that they are waging against Israel,
00:35:10.000and Venezuela as, by the way, it threatens to invade a neighboring country
00:35:44.000So 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.
00:35:52.000And he's doing the same thing in Russia, and he's doing the same thing in his Venezuela.
00:35:57.000Meanwhile, his immigration policy continues to be an enormous, dangerous failure.
00:36:01.000In 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.
00:36:10.000from Central Asia and elsewhere as, quote, subjects of concern because they were brought in by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network.
00:36:17.000Here is NBC's report on this shocking story.
00:36:21.000NBC News has learned more than 50 migrants with potential ties to an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network are at large in America.
00:36:30.000Many illegally crossed the border and were released into the U.S.
00:36:33.000by Border Patrol because there was no information suggesting terror ties at the time.
00:36:38.000Now their whereabouts are unknown as immigration agents look to arrest them.
00:36:42.000officials tell us, saying they're among a group of over 400 migrants DHS identified in the U.S.
00:36:48.000from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Russia as subjects of concern because they were brought to the U.S.
00:36:57.000by an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network.
00:37:02.000Again, this is all because of Joe Biden's loose immigration policy.
00:37:05.000The 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.
00:37:11.000Which brings up the story of Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston.
00:37:15.000She was a 12-year-old girl who was killed by an illegal immigrant.
00:37:19.000According 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.
00:37:27.000It doesn't get any worse, said the city's mayor, John Whitmer.
00:37:30.000Then investigators arrested two recent Venezuelan migrants and charged them with killing the girl.
00:37:35.000Suddenly, the killing, which had ripped apart a Houston family, became the latest flashpoint in a debate over immigration.
00:37:39.000Notice, the New York Times, the way that it works is, when a story does not benefit Democrats, the story is about Republicans pouncing.
00:37:45.000That is always the way that this works.
00:37:49.000Governor 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.
00:37:58.000And the fact is that Joe Biden's policies will get people around the world killed, all so he can win re-election.
00:38:03.000Joe Biden's open border policies are a sop to his radical left.
00:38:06.000And going back to Jamal Bowman, it ain't gonna win him election.
00:38:09.000Radical left-wing policies are unpopular.
00:38:11.000Joe Biden is getting his ass kicked on the immigration issue by Donald Trump.
00:38:14.000And 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.
00:38:27.000But Joe Biden is desperate at this point.
00:38:28.000How desperate is Joe Biden at this point?
00:39:00.000Democrats have been attempting to play off the fact that Joe Biden has brought about 40-year highs in inflation.
00:39:05.000These economists claim That Donald Trump's policies are going to increase inflation.
00:39:12.000The question I have is how many of these so-called genius economists predicted inflation at the beginning of Joe Biden's term?
00:39:21.000The answer, as far as I'm aware, none of them.
00:39:24.000The message has been spearheaded by, guess, wait for it, Joseph Stiglitz.
00:39:28.000He won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2001, and he is also a socialist redistributionist.
00:39:35.000He 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.
00:39:43.000So if they didn't predict the last inflationary cycle, I'm not exactly going to rely on them to predict this inflationary cycle.
00:39:48.000This 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.
00:40:00.000You trotting out a bunch of like-minded Nobel Prize winners doesn't mean that anyone is going to believe you.
00:40:06.000Meanwhile, 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.
00:40:23.000The signature policy from the Trump years was the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
00:40:30.000And it promised an investment boom, which really did not materialize.
00:40:36.000It gave huge tax breaks to corporations and to wealthy individuals.
00:40:43.000And it resulted in an enormous increase in the deficit and lowered tax revenues below historic norms.
00:40:51.000And I think it's responsible for many of the problems that we face now with our fiscal trajectory.
00:41:02.000And so that would concern me to leave all of that in place.
00:41:07.000Let me point out that people only fail up as long as they are Democrats in the industry of economics.
00:41:12.000Janet Yellen was, of course, the chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018 with her loose fiscal policy.
00:41:19.000So, again, trotting these people out to pretend the economy is fine, except for Trump, that is not going to work.
00:41:25.000Meanwhile, 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.
00:41:39.000Again, 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.
00:41:56.000Here's Vic Murthy claiming that the guns are the problem, of course.
00:42:02.000I know whenever I see a gun crime on TV, a crime including a gun, I immediately, my gun is out of control.
00:42:07.000I 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.
00:42:17.000Today, for the first time in the history of our office, I am issuing a Surgeon General's advisory on firearm violence.
00:42:25.000It outlines the urgent threat firearm violence poses to the health and well-being of our country.
00:42:30.000The Surgeon General's Advisory lays out the approach we can take to address firearm violence as the public health crisis that it is.
00:42:38.000This 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.
00:42:53.000He declared loneliness a public health crisis as well.
00:42:56.000This is one of the problems when you see government as the solution rather than government as part of the problem.
00:43:00.000Meanwhile, other experts are coming out now and trying to claim that pro-life laws are somehow increasing the mortality rate.
00:43:08.000In 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.
00:43:22.000The researchers looked at how many infants died before their first birthday after Texas adopted its abortion ban in September 2021.
00:43:26.000They compared infant deaths in Texas to those in 28 states, some also with restrictions.
00:43:31.000They calculated there were 216 more deaths in Texas than expected between March and December the next year.
00:43:37.000They 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.
00:43:45.000Okay, so let me explain how to manipulate statistics here.
00:43:48.000This is like an amazing classic example.
00:43:50.000So, 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.
00:44:00.000And so overall, the number of babies who were born who died, the rate went up.
00:44:04.000Okay, well, That's a weird way of putting that stat because I have another stat for you.
00:44:10.000Before the abortion ban, let's say all those babies and many other babies were killed in the womb.
00:44:17.000It turns out their mortality rate was 100%, not 5.75 per 1,000.
00:44:26.000In 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.
00:44:38.000But 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.
00:44:48.000You want to undermine the expert class, particularly in medicine?
00:44:52.000Send 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.

00:46:23.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden did have a bad day in the court yesterday.
00:46:26.000Two separate federal courts ruled against Joe Biden's latest attempt to end around the Supreme Court.
00:46:30.000Remember 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?
00:46:37.000Well, he doesn't love the rule of law so much, particularly when it comes to the Supreme Court.
00:46:41.000According 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.
00:47:01.000By the way, the judges who ruled against Joe Biden here were both Barack Obama appointees.
00:47:07.000So he's just having a rough time in the courts.
00:47:09.000So he's just going to rail against the courts and so are his allies.
00:47:11.000Here'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.
00:47:55.000Okay, yeah, these are people who deeply respect the rule of law.
00:47:59.000I'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.
00:48:08.000Because 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.
00:48:15.000Will 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?
00:48:26.000Okay, so, speaking of CNN, obviously they're gonna moderate the debate tomorrow night, and why not, with all of their journalistic credibility?
00:48:32.000So yesterday, CNN's Sarah Sidner had on a drag queen We already see so many attacks on our queer community.
00:48:39.000to talk about how it's a scary time to exist in America as a drag queen.
00:48:43.000I noticed it's not scary enough for you not to be on national TV wearing drag.
00:48:47.000So it doesn't seem that scary. Honestly, when I first saw this, I wondered which one of these
00:48:52.000people was the CNN anchor because CNN is so filled with clowns. We already see so many attacks on our
00:48:58.000queer community. I already don't feel safe in my own hometown just dressed in drag like this.
