00:00:00.000Barack Obama was a horrible president, a terrible radical and the best liar in modern American history, bar none.0.99
00:00:07.000Because while Barack Obama promoted the most radical policies, racial polarization, socialization of the healthcare system, surrender abroad, abortion, trans radicalism here at home, then he was defeated by Donald Trump.0.98
00:00:20.000There would be no Donald Trump era without the far left insanity of the Obama era.
00:00:24.000So we tend to think of Trump as the defeat of Barack Obama.
00:00:28.000But what if the Obama era Is just beginning again.
00:00:33.000What if Donald Trump defeating Obama ism was not a return of the Jedi?
00:01:15.000So, Barack Obama has been back in the headlines a lot recently.
00:01:18.000You'll remember that he went and read books to children with Zoran, Mamdani, and then he sat down with The Late Show, with CBS, with Stephen Colbert.
00:01:26.000And, you know, they were jokey, jokey because this is what you do.
00:01:29.000The thing about Obama is that he is wildly talented, so unbelievably talented that every Democratic politician since the Obama era has lived under Obama's shadow.
00:01:39.000He is charming and he is kind of avuncular in his approach.
00:02:35.000Even I, who think that Obama was the death of modern American politics, acknowledge how talented Barack Obama is.
00:02:41.000And you can see it in clips like this.
00:02:43.000But here is the thing people perceive Barack Obama as a moderate because he is charming and because he is unthreatening to people in his affect.
00:02:51.000But Barack Obama is, was, and continues to be a radical leftist, a radical leftist.
00:02:58.000The most important clip from this interview with Stephen Colbert is the one where he says, there is no divide.
00:03:04.000There is no divide between liberals and leftists.
00:03:07.000Many of us have been pointing out that there seems to be a conflict inside the Democratic Party between kind of old school liberals and the hardcore left.
00:03:15.000Zorhan Mamdani is not reflective of the entire Democratic Party.
00:03:18.000There's a John Fetterman wing of the Democratic Party.
00:03:22.000Tsar Mandani is the leadership class of the Democratic Party.
00:03:26.000There is no conflict between the leftists and the liberals.
00:03:29.000Here he was explaining to Stephen Colbert.
00:03:33.000You look at somebody like Mandami, who I think is an extraordinary talent, he wants people to be able to afford housing in New York.
00:03:41.000Well, you know, I would assume liberals in New York want the same thing.
00:03:48.000And so I don't worry as much about some of these issues.
00:03:57.000Within the Democratic Party, what I'm more interested in for Democrats is do you know how to just talk to regular people like we're not in a college seminar, right?
00:04:09.000Can you talk plain English to folks about it?
00:04:12.000I think that's one of the powers that Mamdani has.
00:04:15.000Is that he also, not only does he talk like a normal person, but he lives a normal life, but he also names what is obviously wrong.0.92
00:05:04.000Barack Obama is just more talented at hiding who he is and who he was.
00:05:09.000Barack Obama and Momdani, very, very similar characters.
00:05:12.000Obama was like Momdani, a person caught between two worlds.
00:05:16.000He thought of himself simultaneously as from America and also from outside America.
00:05:21.000If you read his original memoir, he's written about 20 of them at this point, but if you read his original memoir, Dreams from My Father, he talks about his identity conflict between being an American growing up in Hawaii and his father's past in Kenya, his African identity, his identity as a black man, but also as a person raised by white parents, white grandparents.
00:05:43.000And what this amounts to in the end is a sort of third worldist philosophy.
00:05:48.000He best summarizes this in Dreams for My Father.
00:05:51.000Here's what he wrote in Dreams for My Father.
00:05:52.000I still think this is the most revealing paragraph that Barack Obama ever wrote I know I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless, how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago's South Side.
00:06:08.000How narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair.
00:06:13.000I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder.
00:06:16.000Alternating as it does between a dull complacency and when the disorder spills out of its prescribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences, and more sophisticated military hardware is inadequate to the task.
00:06:29.000Okay, now, I know that's a little fancy.
00:06:31.000What he is saying there is just that every poor person on planet Earth, in America and outside America, lays at the foot of American capitalism and imperialism.
00:07:23.000He looks at the period since he was president and he sees a Hillary Clinton who did not reflect the capacity to hold this coalition together.
00:07:30.000He sees a Joe Biden who lucked into the presidency and a Kamala Harris who's wildly untalented.
00:07:36.000And he says, listen, I can do this myself.
00:07:38.000I will put it back together, except more radical this time because the Democratic Party has moved in the direction that Barack Obama set it in.0.99
00:07:46.000He was always a radical, but he's an incredibly talented liar.
00:07:49.000Listen, a lot of people seem to remember Barack Obama as some sort of moderate.0.82
00:09:32.000Again, that was Barack Obama disowning more than half of the American population, suggesting back in 2008 that the reason people opposed his radicalism politically is because they were bitterly clinging to God and guns.
00:10:45.000This is a chart of how people would rate relations between the various groups in the United States from Gallup.
00:10:51.000Would you say relations between white and black people are very good, somewhat good, somewhat bad, or very bad?
00:10:57.000In 2007, okay, before Barack Obama was president, almost 80% of white adults and almost 60% to black adults said that race relations were good.0.55
00:11:11.000By the time Barack Obama was in the middle of his second term, In 2013, still just above 70% of whites thought race relations were good.
00:11:20.000And increasingly, black people thought race relations were good as well 65%.
00:11:25.000Then, by 2015, off a cliff, by 2015, white adults rated race relations as good only 45%.
00:12:20.000And then, through the power of the mainstream media, Barack Obama made you forget all of that because the media decided Barack Obama was a messianic figure and they would never criticize him.
00:12:29.000The way you probably remember Barack Obama right now is the guy who was, you know, not that bad.
00:12:33.000I mean, not compared to like Zoran Mandani or Ilhan Omar or AOC.
00:12:38.000The media are still pretending his administration was scandal free.
00:12:41.000They cover for his failures, they explain away his lies, they pretend that he is some sort of philosopher king instead of the architect of the modern radical left.
00:13:55.000He's not like George W. Bush, where he was president and then he went away.
00:13:58.000He has been active and he's going to get more active.
00:14:00.000He is a master at shifting ideological goalposts without being noticed, cloaking his radicalism as some form of moderation.0.80
00:14:08.000And again, the key to all of this, the reason that Obama is particularly threatening is because one, he's an excellent organizer, and two, he is the single most creative and convincing liar in modern American history.0.63
00:14:17.000Now, I know there are a lot of people who are Democrats listening to this show and say, ah, Donald Trump lies all the time.
00:14:22.000Donald Trump does say things that are not true, he does lie, but he is not nearly as good at it as Barack Obama because Barack Obama has magiced many, many Americans into believing that somehow he was a Clintonian figure as opposed to what he actually is Jimmy Carter on policy.
00:14:42.000Barack Obama has always lied, and he continues to lie about what he believes and who he is.
00:14:48.000So, back to his interview with Stephen Colbert.
00:14:51.000He says stuff like this about the criminal justice system, right?
00:16:33.000And as you will remember, when Barack Obama says you cannot use the DOJ to target your political opposition, I seem to recall Barack Obama's Democratic Party under Joe Biden, his vice president.
00:16:46.000After Biden became president, he then used the DOJ to go after Donald Trump one million times.
00:16:50.000Here's acting AG Todd Blanch explaining.
00:16:54.000There's something extraordinarily rich about a Democrat suggesting that this administration is charging our political adversaries.
00:17:05.000Second of all, how about we think about what happened the past four years?
00:17:08.000It wasn't just President Trump that got indicted repeatedly in multiple district courts, in multiple jurisdictions, but it was also his entire administration, what was called into the grand jury.
00:17:19.000Members of his Secret Service detail had to testify in the grand jury.
00:17:32.000Barack Obama, in that same interview with Colbert, he then goes ahead and he talks about how he is worried for the Republican Party and the Democrats.
00:18:09.000I'd love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, that didn't agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff, but believed in rule of law and judicial independence and empirical evidence and science and wasn't.
00:18:30.000Constantly tapping into our worst impulses.
00:18:34.000And there has been a Republican Party like that in the past.
00:18:37.000And I want to see that return because I think you have to have two healthy parties.
00:18:55.000First, you're driving home after a long day when your check engine light starts flashing, sputter, stall, now you're stuck on the side of the road.0.96
00:19:01.000It happens to everybody at some point.
00:19:03.000That's where our sponsor, CarShield, helps you be ready when life hits you with surprise repair bills.
00:19:07.000With over 20 years of experience and more than 2 million vehicles covered, CarShield has earned a nationwide reputation for reliability.

00:20:09.000Use code Shapiro right now for 20% off.
00:20:12.000You know that kinder, gentler Republican Party, the one that was the loyal opposition?
00:20:15.000You know, the one that ran Mitt Romney for president in 2012 against Barack Obama, the cleanest candidate in the history of American politics, Mitt Romney.
00:20:24.000The most classically normie candidate in American history.
00:21:18.000And I think maybe she didn't say anything because she knew that we couldn't afford the insurance.
00:21:23.000And then one day she became ill, and I took her up to the Jackson County Hospital and admitted her for pneumonia, and that's when they found the cancer.
00:22:49.000Okay, but Obama's whole game is to pretend moderation.
00:22:52.000Quote I do think that repairing the damage that's been done to the international war is going to be even harder than some of the domestic repairs.0.85
00:23:01.000I think one way to think about it is the post World War II order is one of America's better moments.
00:23:08.000Barack Obama broke the post World War II order by saying that America ought to lead from behind, that we ought to retreat from the world, cede power to Russia.
00:23:17.000Remember, in 2012, he literally told Dmitry Medvedev, who was the stand in for Vladimir Putin, that if Putin backed off before the 2012 election, there would be benefits on the other side of the election.
00:23:30.000He was caught on a hot mic saying that.
00:23:33.000And he says that he was in favor of the post World War II alliances.
00:23:38.000He said, We're not just going to go ahead and demand tribute and bully people.
00:23:43.000We're going to be part of some larger consensus about how something should work.
00:23:48.000And then he blames Trump for pulling out of Paris and by imposing tariffs and getting out of the Iran nuclear deal.0.53
00:24:10.000And then the Joe Biden presidency was The Empire Strikes Back.
00:24:13.000And now Trump is back in Return of the Jedi.
00:24:15.000But what if we are not thinking along a long enough timeline?
00:24:19.000What if the entire Trump era was A New Hope?
00:24:22.000What if what comes next is Empire Strikes Back?
00:24:25.000See, Barack Obama has the capacity to frame the Trump era as a sort of interregnum in American history, a short detour on the road to left wing devastation.
00:24:35.000We tend to think on the right, Of this story as ending with President Trump victorious over all of his woke enemies.
00:24:40.000But what if the Democratic Party is preparing to come back into power, sweep back into power, and do all the most radical things?
00:24:50.000Led by Barack Obama, who was always radical, but was great at hiding it.
00:25:37.000I think it's a rhetorical move because it frustrates a lot of people.
00:25:39.000I've also said I'm a harm reduction voter, I'm a lesser evil voter, and therefore I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.0.84
00:25:47.000Again, these are the Pods of America.0.92
00:25:50.000They're the communications apparatus for Team Obama, and they are uniting with the most radical Democrats, with the most radical Democrats.
00:25:58.000And the notion that it's sort of Barack Obama in the moderate wing of the Democratic Party and Bernie in the radical, they're the same.
00:26:11.000And John Lovett, another Pods of America, bro, with Bernie Sanders on why we need an AI moratorium.
00:26:18.000If scientists who are Nobel Prize winners, guys who've gotten the Turing Award, which is the major award given to people in computer science, if they say to you that humanity is in danger, do you think you might want to do something about it?
00:27:08.000According to Axios, there is a new influential foreign policy group to help potential 2028 presidential candidates and bring together national security specialists who could staff the next Democratic administration.
00:27:24.000It was founded by Ben Rhodes, who was the chief foreign policy advisor.
00:27:29.000After writing unpublished novels in his crappy Brooklyn apartment for years, he was selected by Barack Obama to be his sort of anti Israel advocate in the White House.
00:27:37.000Ben Rhodes' literal nickname in the White House was Hamas.
00:27:42.000And Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor under Joe Biden, and of course, a high ranking national security advisor under Barack Obama, they've now picked a person named Mahar Bitar, who has worked for Democrats and on Capitol Hill and in the White House, to lead the group going into the 2028 primary season.
00:28:00.000Ben Rhodes says that the group's two most interesting projects are the pipeline of people who might work on campaigns and populate a Democratic administration, and then the ideas that can form a progressive or democratic foreign policy going forward.
00:28:13.000And Ben Rhodes says it's time to pass the baton.
00:28:15.000So, this is a really great opportunity to try to talent spot and help elevate some different voices.
00:28:21.000Jake Sullivan says that this should center in on a revision of the Democratic Party's relationship with Israel.
00:28:26.000Of course, that was first promoted by Barack Obama, the most anti Israel president in modern history by far.
00:28:33.000Batar, it should be noted, legitimately has the same resume as Zorhan Mamdani.
00:28:38.000He was a leader of the insanely anti Semitic group Students for Justice in Palestine.
00:28:43.000He worked at the Hamas linked UN Relief and Works Agency.
00:28:46.000He wrote papers at the University of Oxford on the Nakba, which is the Arabic term for the establishment of Israel.0.59
00:28:56.000Ben Rhodes, by the way, going out of his way in the New York Times to hug Graham Platner.0.59
00:29:00.000That's the dude with the Nazi tattoo.0.63
00:29:04.000He wrote a piece for the New York Times quoting Graham Platner If the Democratic Party is to flourish in the future, it needs to be an anti war party.
00:29:13.000Why don't more Democrats talk about war the way Mr. Plattner does?
00:29:17.000We must re engage the world, says Ben Rhodes, as something other than a hegemon.
00:29:21.000Rebuild diplomatic and developmental capabilities hollowed out under Mr. Trump.
00:29:26.000Negotiate the outlines of a new international order with other major powers.
00:29:35.000That is Obama's team in the foreign policy sphere.
00:29:38.000It is Obama's team in the comms sphere.
00:29:40.000Hell, it's Obama's team in the funding sphere.
00:29:44.000Back in 2025, in September, there is a report that millions of dollars sent to Obama's foundation has ended up being donated to a progressive fund supporting anti Israel groups.
00:29:55.000Donations to the Obama Foundation that were originally supposed to fund his museum, two million bucks were instead sent to the Tides Foundation, a radical left wing group that funnels money to the most radical leftist groups.
00:30:08.000This is the apparatus that the Democratic Party is building.
00:30:41.000The modern Democratic Party is fully in line with this sort of stuff.
00:30:45.000So, as we pointed out yesterday, there were quasi riots outside a New York City synagogue.0.75
00:30:52.000The New York City government decided that was totally fine to hold a quasi riot outside the synagogue because, after all, what they were protesting was Jews buying land in Israel.
00:31:02.000And these rioters don't particularly like some of the places that Jews are buying land, namely Jewish cities like Efrat and Neve Daniel.
00:31:10.000Here's what that looked like in New York.
00:31:24.000People confronting the cops, people wearing the kafias.0.99
00:31:29.000Hey, Zorhan Mamdani was asked about this, and he defended the sacrosanct right to protest.
00:31:34.000I do not think he would feel the same way if people started protesting outside mosques.
00:31:38.000Actually, I'm old enough to remember because I'm more than a couple of months old when Zorhan Mamdani condemned people protesting against radical Islam at a rally outside the mayoral mansion where a radical Islamic terrorist tried to throw a Molotov cocktail, like an IED, into the crowd.0.54
00:31:57.000We in this city believe in the sacrosanct nature of the right to protest and also are committed to ensuring that any New Yorker can safely enter or exit from a house of worship and that access never be in question while we also protect the First Amendment.0.60
00:32:17.000John Fetterman, the only sane Democrat left, apparently, put out a tweet.
00:32:20.000Mob of pro Hezbollah Hamas, bleep heads, raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the New York City Jewish community near a synagogue and daycare.
00:33:04.000It's a statement of faith, and standing up for justice has always been part of my faith.
00:33:11.000Okay, so in any case, it looks like a headband, not a scarf.
00:33:14.000But this also happens to be a person, again, she is a New York Democratic State Senate candidate.
00:33:19.000She is a person who says that 9 11 was a manifestation of capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia.
00:33:29.000And finding that, like, you know, The system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy, et cetera, and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people.
00:34:07.000And they have the fellow travelers who are typically white liberal ladies.1.00
00:34:11.000Gwyneth Paltrow is spending her days fellow traveling with all this crap and complaining about super rich white dudes with Kara Swisher.0.98
00:34:19.000I mean, listening to Gwyneth Paltrow complain about super rich white people is pretty, pretty amazing.0.97
00:34:28.000How do you think we got to this place in culture where sort of nothing matters?
00:34:32.000And now all that matters is these kind of super rich white dudes who are breaking rules, setting rules, you know, seemingly like not caring so much about the downstream impact on everything in our culture.
00:34:46.000They don't think they're responsible for the dead.
00:34:48.000I think we have an idolatry of innovators, an idolatry of wealth.
00:34:53.000And if you're wealthy, you must be smarter.
00:34:54.000When they got all manner of shortcuts, and the innovations that they took advantage of were paid by the American public, by the way.
00:35:03.000The United States government, not them.
00:35:05.000And it's great to be innovative and make these things and this rocket stuff.
00:35:09.000I'm so impressed by what SpaceX is doing.
00:35:12.000We can argue about the valuation of it, but it's still astonishing.
00:35:16.000And at the same time, why do they get why does a small homogeneous group of people get to decide for the rest of us?
00:35:25.000Well, I mean, why do they get to keep the products that they have built and then the innovations that have made everyone richer in the United States?0.97
00:35:31.000Jennifer Welch, again, astonishing to me that Jennifer Welch is somehow considered a voice of white ladies, but I guess, you know, you choose your fighter in this version of moral combat.0.50
00:35:43.000Here's Jennifer Welch saying Republicans lie about being patriotic and loving America with Wajahat Ali.
00:38:21.000We can debate the details here, but I think it's important to acknowledge a baseline, and that is that there have been an awful lot of attacks where actual people died in the United States and in Europe, committed by people saying really clearly we're acting in the name of Islam.0.98
00:38:34.000For whatever it's worth, a pretty fervent Christian, and I feel completely comfortable here in the seat of Islam.
00:38:42.000If you have a society in which people bow down before God five times a day, I'm not against that.0.91
00:38:51.000I should bow down before God five times a day.
00:38:55.000And I wish I lived around people who bowed down before God five times a day.
00:38:59.000That was Tucker Carlson in 2016, 2017 versus Tucker Carlson.
00:39:03.000Now, I mean, now Tucker is going so far that because he thinks that The entire world is controlled by the Zio Jews.0.63
00:39:09.000He's saying that Iran should actually have nukes in order to counter the ambitions of the Zio Jews.0.97
00:39:16.000The mutually assured destruction principle, which, as ugly as it sounds, is real.1.00
00:39:24.000What you don't want is a nation that feels no constraints whatsoever, that feels it can do whatever it wants, it feels it can roll into its neighbor's sovereign territory and expel the population and kill people.0.54
00:39:36.000This is exactly what we thought the lesson of World War II.
00:39:51.000And so you could at least make the case academically, even if you disagreed with the whole idea of nuclear weapons and thought they were probably inherently evil, even if you wondered where they came from in the first place, even if you had dark suspicions about the genesis of nuclear weapons, and some of us do, you could still make the case on a pragmatic basis that look at the effects.
00:40:15.000Okay, so that was Tucker Carlson making the case the Iranian mullahs should actually have nuclear weapons that would somehow be better.0.69
00:40:25.000By the way, backing all of this has been, of course, Megyn Kelly, who has never seen a click that she will not chase.
00:40:31.000Notice the contrast between Megyn Kelly on Islam in January of this year versus Megyn Kelly on Islam in, you know, May.0.65
00:40:41.000Islam is not consistent with the values of America, of the West.1.00
00:40:45.000They should stay in countries that don't care about.1.00
00:40:48.000Keeping church and state separated.0.99
00:40:50.000They should stay in countries that don't care about protecting free speech.1.00
00:40:53.000They should stay in countries that don't care about women's rights.1.00
00:40:56.000It's been something I've noticed just since I've gotten a sort of more clear-eyed on Israel that a lot of the anti-Muslim rhetoric that's put out there originates with people who are very, very pro-Israel who kind of need us to demonize them.1.00
00:41:12.000And I've taken a look recently at my own rhetoric on this to say, have I been manipulated?
00:41:16.000I want to make sure I'm not getting manipulated.
00:42:01.000When I go back and I re examine that propaganda, that brainwashing that took place in the classroom to make me scared of something I didn't even know what a Muslim was.
00:42:09.000And these Muslim terrorists only want to terrorize to benefit Israel.0.97
00:42:30.000So, again, there's a coalition that is forming.
00:42:33.000That coalition is the Barack Obama Coalition.
00:42:36.000And there will be a bunch of people who join back up with it moderates who are hoodwinked by Barack Obama's moderate affect, people who are radical in their inclinations anyway.0.63
00:42:48.000And of course, some alienated members of the new leftslash woke right, the people who have decided that they must fellow travel with the third worldists because they have their own version of third worldism that they are indeed promoting.0.61
00:43:01.000And meanwhile, speaking of radical Islam, Iran continues in its intransigence.
00:43:07.000According to the Wall Street Journal editorial board, they say based on conversations with senior U.S. officials, here's what a good deal would look like to end the Iran war.
00:43:16.000Iran can't enrich now, but a good deal would name all deeply buried nuclear facilities as illicit enrichment sites and would enable supervised dismantlement of all centrifuges and ban producing or importing materials and components for plutonium processing.
00:43:32.000Iran would love to focus solely on its 440 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium.0.63
00:43:36.000The regime's 20% stockpile may sound less dangerous, but reaching that level is 90% of the weight's weapons grade, so it has to go as well.0.76
00:43:46.000Iran has to make a full declaration of its past nuclear work.
00:43:49.000A final deal on Hormuz should prescribe all tolls, mines, and forced routes and dismantlement of the sanctions on a short, specific timetable once all of that is done.
00:43:58.000Now we'll see what kind of deal the Trump administration is trying to cut.
00:44:03.000The foreign minister of Iran, Abbasaraki, he says that Iran is going to continue to stave off elimination as a regime by standing up to the United States.
00:44:17.000He says our Chinese friends also believe that Iran after the war is different from Iran before the war.
00:44:25.000It has proven its capabilities and strength.
00:44:32.000Therefore, a new phase of cooperation between Iran.
00:44:39.000Well, certainly not in the Middle East.0.86
00:44:40.000I assume he just means a closer relationship between Iran and China, which demonstrates once again why Iran is a threat, because China is a threat.
00:44:48.000And meanwhile, Democrats are trying to claim that we are losing the war.
00:44:51.000Democratic Representative Seth Moulton, who should know better from Massachusetts, he says that we're losing the war in Iran.
00:44:59.000Iran has way more leverage than they had at the beginning when we were just trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with them.
00:45:05.000Now Trump's trying to reopen the strait as well.
00:45:08.000And I don't think that either is going to come on great terms for the United States.
00:45:13.000And that's how dangerous this war has been.
00:45:16.000This is, as in, we have lost this war?
00:45:20.000We're certainly losing it right now on almost every measure.
00:45:23.000You know, regime change has gotten us a more hard line regime.
00:45:26.000We destroyed some of their ballistic missiles, but given them billions and billions of dollars by lifting oil sanctions so they can buy more.0.70
00:45:32.000We clearly have not obliterated their nuclear program.
00:45:34.000And we're in a far worse position than Obama was with the Iran nuclear deal.
00:45:38.000I mean, that is not true in the slightest.
00:45:42.000We have significantly degraded their ballistic missile capacity and their manufacturing capacity.
00:45:46.000We have destroyed their economic power.
00:45:48.000We still have a blockade on their oil.0.99
00:45:51.000The best they can do is try to hold shipping up in the Strait of Hormuz that is gradually being opened by the United States anyway, which is why a new Harvard Harris poll suggests that 74% of respondents say that the United States is winning the war, which happens to be the truth.1.00
00:46:19.000So, again, the attempt to undermine the United States is ongoing.
00:46:25.000Meanwhile, California continues along its radical path.
00:46:28.000You want to look at what a Barack Obama ruled state would look like?
00:46:31.000California is a pretty good indicator.
00:46:34.000According to a brand new report from Ryan Thorpe and Chris Rufo over at City Journal, in the last five years, the California Department of Social Services has rubber stamped at least $41 million in funding to the Council on American Islamic Relations.
00:46:47.000Those federal dollars are flowing into CARE California's coffers, even after it was the target of a recent DOJ investigation.
00:46:55.000And for those who don't follow CARE, CARE is an incredibly radical group that was effectively founded by people with significant links to Hamas.
00:47:05.000And they've been receiving huge amounts of money from grants in California.
00:47:10.000In 2022, the California Department of Social Services awarded CARE $7.2 million in federal funds via a state program to provide immigration related legal assistance.
00:47:20.000And then in September 2025, they rubber stamped an additional $23 million in federal funds for CARE California.
00:47:27.000Here, by the way, is the CARE California leader, Zahra Bilou, advising people to be strategic with their hate.0.97
00:47:34.000Now imagine your LinkedIn profile says, I hate all Zionists.0.84
00:47:40.000Replace hate with whatever inappropriate, like something I can't say here.0.98
00:47:49.000Now, you may say that sitting around Kahwa House on a Friday night, but you're not going to say it on your LinkedIn.
00:47:55.000And so, one, we have to do the basics, we have to remember that Allah protects us.
00:48:03.000Ah, good stuff there from the Council on American Islamic Relations.
00:48:07.000Glad that federal taxpayers can subsidize that thanks to the government of California.
00:48:12.000Meanwhile, the government in California continues to do an extraordinary job.
00:48:15.000The feds just raided a huge drug ring in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park.
00:48:21.000According to the DOJ, 18 defendants, including two people law enforcement believes are the main sources of fentanyl and meth in LA's gang and drug infested MacArthur Park, have now been arrested on a federal criminal complaint charging them with a federal drug trafficking offense.
00:48:35.000You may remember LA Mayor Karen Bass suggesting in July 2025 that ICE was wrong for being in MacArthur Park and trying to police crime.
00:48:46.000Yes, my comment is they need to leave and they need to leave right now.
00:48:51.000They need to leave because this is unacceptable.
00:48:57.000Well, maybe, maybe at a certain point, even the people of LA will decide to buck this sort of insanity.
00:49:03.000So last night was the LA mayoral debate.
00:49:07.000That debate pitted Spencer Pratt, who's essentially a reality TV star, against a city council woman named Nithya Rahman, as well as Mayor Bass.
00:49:18.000Mayor Bass continues to be the frontrunner.
00:49:19.000She continues to be the frontrunner in that mayoral race, which is nuts.
00:49:24.000Spencer Pratt did a good job in this debate.
00:49:26.000He pointed out that the LA City Council and the mayor's office have allowed homelessness to run rampant throughout the city.
00:49:34.000And he made a pretty colorful remark to Nithya Rahman about Her policy, which would suggest a $10.7 million infusion to renovate a 26 room motel into interim housing for the homeless, it's $411,000 per apartment.
00:51:43.000They could have green cards, they could be here perfectly legal, and there's a lot of states and cities that do that on very, very local elections.
00:51:51.000We have to see what the councilman is proposing.
00:52:32.000He has done a full length 20 minute walking tour through the Ohio healthcare system showing how billions of taxpayer dollars have been abused.
00:52:42.000You can find that over at dailywire.com right now.
