00:01:44.000And the second is critical race theory.
00:01:46.000I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to take away from the news cycle yesterday, given the fact that the sitting president of the United States, and when I say sitting, I mean that very literally.
00:02:00.000He's not been with us for quite some time.
00:02:02.000He was trying to make the case that the big spike in crime that we have seen over the course of the last year has nothing to do with lack of police and everything to do with guns.
00:02:10.000So as we'll discuss in a little bit, he's been making the pitch that we need to get rid of guns in American society to lower crime, which is kind of an amazing contention, given the fact that we now have more guns in circulation than we've had any time in American history.
00:02:20.000And everything was going pretty swimmingly up until the time the Democrats decided that it would be great to foment riots in America's major cities and undercut the police.
00:02:28.000But in any case, Joe Biden then made a sort of peculiar argument.
00:02:31.000He was talking about people who believe in the Second Amendment as a form of defense against the infringement of your rights by the government, which of course was the original purpose of the Second Amendment.
00:02:40.000I mean, the Second Amendment's text says pretty much as much.
00:02:44.000The Second Amendment's text suggests that in order to defend your rights, you're going to be able to keep and bear arms, right?
00:02:50.000A well-regulated militia, not meaning regulated by the state, a well-regulated, meaning a practiced militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
00:03:01.000There's the prefatory clause, which is all about the rationale for having arms, and it is all about preserving the freedom of the state, preserving your freedom against the government, right?
00:03:10.000And so a lot of people, like me, have made the argument that one of the reasons why you need an armed population is to provide a deterrent against the government invading your rights.
00:03:19.000It's one of the good things about having an armed population is that the government can't get too much over its skis without running pretty headlong into a population that is unhappy with that government.
00:03:28.000And that makes the government think twice about whether they, in fact, want to go to war with their own citizens.
00:03:32.000According to Joe Biden, however, all of this is is nugatory.
00:03:36.000It doesn't make any difference because in the end, we could just nuke you.
00:03:41.000Now, I'm old enough to remember when Eric Swalwell said the same thing.
00:03:44.000Eric Swalwell, who was at one point sleeping with a Chinese spy, apparently, but that's beside the point.
00:03:50.000Joe Biden seems to think this is an intelligent point because he's made it several times in the past, and it continues to be astonishingly idiotic on a wide variety of levels.
00:03:58.000But the basic notion that you should respond to any question in American politics with, well, you know, the government could just nuke you.
00:04:07.000Like, really, if the case that you're making is that you should not own guns because your government could just kill you.
00:04:15.000I'm pretty sure now I want guns more than I did before you just said that, Joe Biden.
00:04:20.000That is a galaxy brain take here from a man whose synapses stopped firing long ago.
00:04:25.000Here is the president of the United States who's looking more and more these days like one of those Shia pets, like the hair plugs are all that's left atop.
00:04:35.000Here's the president of the United States.
00:04:39.000Those who say the blood of the, the blood of patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we're going to have to move against the government.
00:04:47.000Well, the tree of liberty is not water in the blood of patriots.
00:04:50.000What's happened is that there never been, if you wanted to think you need to have weapons to take on the government.
00:04:57.000You need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.
00:05:00.000You know the United States has ever otherwise will, will like just drive F-15s and we'll drive them over your borders and then we'll just drop some boom.
00:05:16.000By the way, I do loveâit is fairly amazing how inconsistent the arguments are from people like Joe Biden on this sort of stuff.
00:05:23.000You'll recall that simultaneously, the President of the United States is arguing that it would make no difference if the population is armed because obviously we can just send F-15s to nuke your hometown and, you know, kill all the civilians in your area and do allâlike, All right, man, Captain Human Rights over here.
00:05:40.000But not only that, this is the same person who continues to argue, and the entire Democratic Party and media continue to argue that on January 6th, we were this close to the overthrow of the American democracy.
00:05:50.000The American experiment was this close to being, like, it was really a close call thing when a bunch of idiot droogs decided to run into the Capitol building.
00:05:58.000Not one of those idiot droogs actually in the Capitol building was arrested with a gun, so far as I'm aware at this point.
00:06:05.000Okay, there's been one per- there have been, I think, three people charged with firearms related to the Capitol riots.
00:06:11.000One was on the Capitol grounds, right outside the building.
00:06:15.000One had been, like, planning with guns but didn't actually show up.
00:06:18.000And one was outside in a truck with, like, a Molotov cocktail.
00:06:21.000But apparently a bunch of citizens who are not armed with guns came this close to completely overrunning the most powerful military state in the history of mankind.
00:06:30.000So recognize the relative inconsistency here.
00:06:33.000According to Joe Biden, an entirely armed population with AR-15s couldn't take on the federal government.
00:06:38.000But a bunch of morons wearing MAGA hats could take over the entire federal government by walking through the front doors carrying clubs.
00:06:47.000I'm not sure I see the consistency here.
00:06:50.000OK, but on a deeper level, the way that Joe Biden sees the government is sort of betrayed by what he says here.
00:07:27.000You have the current president of the United States saying this, and he said this over the years many times, that, you know, you don't need guns because absolutely we could just nuke you.
00:07:36.000And everybody just doesn't bat an eye.
00:07:37.000Because in the view of the left, the notion of the American government nuking its own citizenry is such a natural corollary of the fact that the federal government is supposed to run your life.
00:07:45.000So apparently the military is for two things.
00:07:47.000One is nuking American citizens who refuse to go along with the program and are armed.
00:07:52.000And the second thing, of course, the military is there in order to effect social change.
00:07:57.000On the list of things that the military is there to do, teach gay rights, push racial radicalism, Not defend the nation, really.
00:08:05.000We need to get rid of a lot of the funding.
00:08:08.000And let's face it, America's history of military conquest, imperialism, and colonialism is just horrifying, according to the left.
00:08:13.000But the military exists there to deter American citizens from doing bad stuff, which, again, is sort of illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act.
00:08:19.000And also, It is there to affect social change from one of our great national institutions.
00:08:26.000We'll get to that aspect of the military in just one second.
00:08:29.000First, let's talk about the fact that you should always be prepared in the case of an emergency.
00:08:32.000If 2020 is like anything, is that it is pretty good to be prepared in your home in case, God forbid, something goes wildly wrong.
00:08:38.000Now is a better time than any to be prepared with long-term nutritional food options.
00:08:42.000ReadyWise has a lot of options, like emergency meals, free dried fruits and vegetables for convenient on-the-go nutrition, new adventure meals for hiking and camping and other outdoor activities.
00:09:32.000So military is there for two purposes.
00:09:35.000One, of course, is to possibly nuke the American citizens who have the temerity to be armed.
00:09:39.000I also love the assumption here by Joe Biden that if it came down to the American military going to war with its own citizens, members of the military would just take the order and start murdering American citizens willy nilly.
00:10:04.000It is true in nearly every arena of public life.
00:10:06.000It's true for cops and police chiefs, for example.
00:10:08.000There are many police officers all around the nation who wildly disagree with the politicization of their police departments and the use of their police departments to ground down policy that is bad.
00:10:19.000I talk to cops all the time who disagree with the people who very often reach the top echelons of police work because in order to become police chief in a major city, you have to kiss a lot of ass and you have to do a lot of political manipulation.
00:10:31.000Well, same thing is true if you are to become a four star general.
00:10:34.000If you talk to people who are sort of serving in the mid ranks, if you're talking to colonels, you're talking to captains, you're talking to sergeants, if you're talking to any other officer rank, even low level generals who have not reached sort of the highest levels, they will tell you that there is a group of political generals.
00:10:49.000And in order to get there, I mean, this is true in literally any company and it's true in the military as well.
00:10:53.000In order to get there, you have to politically maneuver and kiss a lot of butt.
00:10:57.000And you have to make sure that you're mirroring the priorities of the political branches of the United States government.
00:11:02.000Or at least you think you do if you want to get ahead.
00:11:05.000Which is why we saw yesterday the bizarre spectacle of the U.S.' 's top military leader, Army General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, basically getting angry at lawmakers for asking about the sort of ideology being taught to soldiers in the United States Army.
00:11:23.000Because the reality is that if you look at the recommended reading list for the US military right now, it is filled with woke crap.
00:11:40.000We're just teaching wokeness, but we're not, we're not woke.
00:11:42.000And if you ask questions, it's unpatriotic.
00:11:44.000Now the left has jumped on this because the left, which has spent pretty much of its entire existence declaring the United States military an armed wing of US imperialism and colonialism, which has declared the US military one of the worst institutions on the planet.
00:11:58.000Now the left is saying it's unpatriotic if you point out that US military is being used as an engineer of social change in a really deleterious way to both military morale and to the country's future.
00:12:09.000Here is a General Mark Milley in defense, however.
00:12:12.000I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, non-commissioned officers of being quote woke or something else because we're studying some theories that are out there.
00:12:24.000That was started at Harvard Law School years ago, and it proposed that there were laws in the United States, antebellum laws, prior to the Civil War, that led to a power differential with African Americans that were three-quarters of a human being.
00:12:38.000Okay, so this is the part where it's pretty wild, right?
00:12:50.000So you see how what Milley is doing, he's hiding behind these other soldiers.
00:12:53.000And how dare you call that sergeant woke?
00:12:55.000I'm not calling that sergeant woke, I'm saying that you are teaching wokeness in the United States military when you assign Ibram X. Kendi as recommended reading.
00:13:02.000And Michelle Alexander has recommended reading.
00:13:04.000You know it's on the military's recommended reading list?
00:13:32.000It was taught to my parents when they were post-college, right?
00:13:35.000I mean, like, the notion that Americans just don't know about things like slavery or that you need critical race theory in order to teach this, it's a lie.
00:13:43.000He's conflating what normal American history is and how it should be taught with critical race theory, which suggests that every institution of the United States is rife with racism and rooted in racism and inextricably intertwined with racism.
00:13:57.000This is a game that the critical race theory proponents like to play.
00:14:00.000It's this Mott and Bailey game, where if you actually call out what critical race theory is, they just go, oh, no, no, we're just trying to teach regular American history.
00:14:06.000And you know, it's just a legal analytical tool.
00:14:08.000Okay, first of all, if critical race theory is an analytical tool, it's the crappiest analytical tool of all time.
00:14:13.000The worst kinds of analytical tools are single lens analytical tools.
00:14:17.000What I mean by that is there is no good analysis that is a single factor analysis.
00:14:20.000There is no one skeleton key that unlocks any issue.
00:14:28.000If you look at anything just through one lens, you are likely to get it completely wrong.
00:14:32.000What critical race theory does is it says that all other sort of intervening effects that have led to inequality of outcome are irrelevant.
00:14:40.000Racism is the only thing that could lead to any sort of inequality of outcome.
00:14:44.000That doesn't make it an analytical tool.
00:15:40.000This is the leading military man in the United States government explaining he wants to check into the roots of white... But don't worry, he's not woke, guys.
00:15:47.000And if you call him woke, and if you suggest that he's promoting this woke garbage, then there's something wrong with you.
00:15:52.000So wokeness is now patriotism, which is incredible because wokeness is overtly anti-patriotic.
00:15:57.000Wokeness is about undermining the fundamental basis of the United States, saying that the Declaration is a lie, saying the Constitution is a lie, saying the institutions of the United States are mere facades for hierarchies of power instituted in order to subjugate black Americans.
00:16:11.000And this guy's sitting there being like, and if you challenge me on this, you're unpatriotic.
00:16:18.000But don't worry, we're not indoctrinating the soldiers and people in our military, the people who ought to be the most patriotic, considering they are literally putting their lives on the line for the institutions wokeness is trying to eviscerate.
00:16:30.000If you say that he's doing something wrong, that means that you are unpatriotic.
00:16:33.000By the way, other books besides Ibram X. Kendi include Sexual Minorities in Politics by Jason Pierson, which casts any opposition to the LGBT agenda items as grounded and animus.
00:16:43.000I mean, it's very open in the introduction of this book and promotes Michel Foucault's attempted obliteration of the private-public distinction, saying that your sex life is basically public policy.
00:16:53.000Also, Michelle Alexander's new Jim Crow, which suggests that racial differentials and arrest statistics are solely due to the fact that policing in the United States is racist.
00:17:02.000That is recommended in the military reading list.
00:17:34.000Once you're at the top, you're inherently political.
00:17:36.000In a second, we'll get to more of this, what the military is for.
00:17:40.000First, let us talk about how you educate your kids.
00:17:42.000As you can see, there are forces out there that wish to educate your kids in a wide variety of anti-traditional values ranging from wokeness to transgenderism, all of these sorts of Indoctrination centers exist in American public life and particularly are directed at children.
00:17:57.000PragerU is now launching a massive new K-12 education program.
00:18:00.000Thousands of educators and parents have already signed up.
00:18:02.000Check it out at prageru.com slash kids.
00:18:05.000PragerU has tons of free kids shows, books, magazines with the pro-American values that aren't being taught in schools or most kids shows.
00:18:11.000The PragerU website has everything you need to get your young family through what is happening in our country right now.
00:18:15.000Do you want your kids to learn about our nation's founding principles and be proud of them?
00:18:18.000How about passing on values you care about, like truth, freedom, responsibility, hard work, equality under God?
00:18:22.000If you want your kids consuming content that actually supports your values, go to PragerU right now.
00:18:27.000Show your children their animated shows, books, and magazines.
00:18:29.000Most importantly, support PragerU in their efforts to take back America's education.
00:19:05.000That this is just a bunch of white racists who invaded the Capitol on January 6th?
00:19:09.000There may have been, and there were, some white racists who invaded the Capitol.
00:19:12.000Also, I assume there were just a bunch of people who were pissed off about the election, but weren't actually members of neo-Nazi groups.
00:19:18.000But again, there's no evidence necessary in order to declare anything in American life racist.
00:19:22.000I mean, we're doing this whole quote-unquote racial reckoning on the false basis that Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd because he was a racist when not a single iota of evidence was brought to that effect.
00:19:32.000Okay, and then Mark Milley does the Martin Bailey routine.
00:19:35.000What's wrong with trying to teach members of our military about our country?
00:19:43.000It is history that is twisted and perverted And in many cases ignored in order to provoke the notion that America is a very, very bad place.
00:19:50.000Why would you possibly teach that to members of the military?
00:19:53.000You may have noticed that when it comes to real politic, world power, it's a zero sum game.
00:19:58.000Do you think members of the Chinese military today are learning about the historic evils of even the malice regime?
00:20:54.000He didn't read it as like, well, maybe we should actually take seriously the protestations of Lenin and then maybe we should, you know, see our country in the way Lenin saw our country.
00:21:03.000There's a reason that Mao and Lenin are not on the recommended reading list of the United States military, because there are certain ideologies that run directly counter to the basic notions that Americans are fighting for when they join the American military.
00:21:15.000Among those notions are identity politics, and yes, critical race theory, and yes, communism, which is why none of those should be on the recommended reading list for members of the American military.
00:21:47.000I will admit it is very strange to me, the notion that the American military is supposed to be achieving the same function as Cal State Northridge.
00:22:17.000You don't recommend to read as, like, the textâ Again, he's not assigning Heather McDonald's The War on Cops alongside Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow.
00:22:27.000That is not what he is doing right there.
00:22:33.000This is about indoctrination, of course, of course.
00:22:36.000But the good news is that we're really doing the important things.
00:22:38.000Like Nellis Air Force Base, the other day, really did something important.
00:22:42.000They had their first ever drag queen show at its on-base dining and entertainment clubs, according to a base spokesperson.
00:22:47.000And according to Nellis Air Force Base, they said in an email to Breitbart News, Nellis Air Force Base and the 99th Air Base Wing hosted its first ever drag show Thursday, June 17th at the Nellis Club.
00:22:55.000The event was sponsored by a private organization, provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the history and significance of drag performance art within the LGBT plus community.
00:23:06.000Ensuring our ranks reflect and are inclusive of the American people is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military.
00:23:11.000Yes, drag shows are now essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military.
00:23:16.000Mellon's Air Force Base is committed to providing and championing an environment that is characterized by equal opportunity, diversity, and inclusion.
00:25:29.000adults on Twitter post only rarely, but a small share of highly active users, most of whom are Democrats, produce the vast majority of tweets.
00:25:36.000The Pew Research Center found that just 10% of users produced 92% of all tweets from U.S.
00:25:44.000Between the 10% of users producing 92% of the tweets.
00:25:48.00069% of these highly prolific users identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents.
00:25:54.000What this means is that number one, the platform has a larger share of Democrats than Republicans.
00:25:58.000Number two, because it's an echo chamber in which the most powerful people are Democrats and the most frequent tweeters are Democrats, it's easier to ratio a Republican than a Democrat and it's easier to get tons of retweets if you're a Democrat than a Republican.
00:26:09.000And this leads people into a belief that the Democratic wild progressive agenda is significantly more popular than it is.
00:26:32.000Yet, because that is the source of news, and people are inevitably biased by the news that they consume, people on the left, viewing Twitter as the real world as opposed to an echo chamber, tend to think that their policies are much more popular than they are.
00:26:44.000Then they enact those policies, and it turns out the policies suck.
00:26:46.000Nowhere is this truer than when it comes to policing and crime.
00:26:50.000So the Democrats are about to get their asses handed to them in 2022 on the issue of crime.
00:26:54.000The crime rates in the United States have skyrocketed.
00:26:56.000They'd already started skyrocketing before the riots in 2020.
00:26:59.000They actually started skyrocketing in 2014-2015 with the Ferguson riots.
00:27:15.000And members of the police forces are pointing this out.
00:27:18.000So, for example, the LAPD police chief.
00:27:20.000He said, you know, we were beating back crime, we were doing a pretty good job of it, and now that's all gone.
00:27:24.000We've led the country in crime reduction over this past decade.
00:27:27.000We've shown that cops count, that police matter, that community engagement is the leading aspect of crime prevention, and that crime reduction also is tied to effective policing, identifying those that are involved in the violence, bringing them before the justice system and holding them accountable.
00:27:45.000All of that in this last year has been terribly and devastatingly impacted.
00:27:51.000Okay, so the reality of course is that crime in Los Angeles is up wildly.
00:27:55.000Year over year, the murder rate is up like 25%.
00:28:00.000We've seen the same thing in every major American city.
00:28:03.000So the Democrats have been faced with a simple reality, and that is that their preferred policies with regard to the cops, blaming the cops for all racial disparities in crime statistics, suggesting that getting rid of the cops is the solution to all of this, blaming systemic racism, none of this is actually solving the problem of actual crime in which people get hurt or killed.
00:28:22.000So they've come up with a few different strategies.
00:28:26.000Mayor Muriel Bowser, whose most important contribution to fighting crime was painting a giant Black Lives Matter mural on the streets of Washington, D.C., and then watching as many of her citizens just got shot in the streets.
00:28:39.000She went in front of the Senate, and she claimed that there was only one night of rioting in D.C.
00:28:44.000last summer, which is weird because there are literally millions of people who remember D.C.
00:29:45.000The other strategy is to deny that Democrats are behind the sort of defund-undercut-the-police routine in the first place.
00:29:52.000So, this is pushed by Senator Mazie Hirono, legitimately the stupidest member of the United States Senate, from Hawaii, suggesting that Democrats don't stand for defunding the police.
00:30:00.000Oh, interesting, because it seems like...
00:30:03.000Kind of your vice president was calling to bail out rioters last year.
00:30:07.000And also, Joe Biden suggested shifting funding away from the cops and towards social workers.
00:30:12.000And also, there's been an attempt by the Biden DOJ to crack down on police departments across the country.
00:30:17.000But don't worry, they're not anti-cop.
00:30:20.000The Democrats do not stand for defunding police.
00:30:24.000The police have a major role to play, especially community policing and reducing the incidence of violence and crime in our communities, but it is a multifaceted It's not about, we'll just get tough on crime.
00:30:43.000It's not about defunding the police, but also, it's not about getting tough on crime.
00:30:46.000Also, we're not against defunding the police, except for, you know, those of us who are, like India Walton, who just won the Buffalo mayoral primary, Democrat, explaining that their plan is to shift money away from the cops and put it toward, quote-unquote, community development.
00:31:03.000My plan is to put our resources into community, into neighborhoods, and govern in a deeply democratic way that the people who are governed have say over the decision-making process and how resources are deployed in our community.
00:31:25.000They can also blame Republicans for defunding the police.
00:31:27.000That's literally what Jen Psaki tried to do.
00:31:29.000She literally- I mean, this is so- The gall of this is pretty rich.
00:31:34.000So you have an entire Democratic Party that has embraced the notion that systemic racism in American policing is what ails the United States in terms of both race relations and crime.
00:31:43.000And then you have Jen Psaki get up there and say, oh yeah, and it's Republicans who want to defund the police.
00:31:47.000Yeah, lady, I mean, my god, not all of us are double-digit IQs here.
00:31:54.000Part of his announcement is also ensuring there's specific guidance to communities across the country to ensure that they have funding to get more community police around the country.
00:32:04.000Something that was supported by the American Jobs Plan, that was voted into law by Democrats just a couple of months ago.
00:32:11.000Some might say that the other party was for defunding the police.
00:32:13.000I'll let others say that, but that's a piece.
00:32:17.000Because in the infrastructure package that was two trillion dollars, there's like five bucks for the cops, and then they voted against that, so they hit the b- ha ha ha!
00:32:34.000Yes, probably it was the president who was calling for law and order, the same president you were screaming at, screaming at, for suggesting perhaps we might use the Insurrection Act to quell riots in most of America's major cities, the same president you were yelling at for putting federal troops in place, or federal officers, rather, in places like Portland to protect federal property.
00:33:32.000Okay, but Joe Biden has the most incredible response to all of this.
00:33:35.000Again, he can't just say, we need to staff up on the cops, which is amazing because remember, Joe Biden's signal accomplishment when he was in Congress was the 1994 Crime Bill, which was a win.
00:33:45.000The 1994 Crime Bill magnified the ability of the police to staff up and led to an unprecedented drop in the violent crime rate in the United States, basically unparalleled in American history from 1994 all the way until about 2014.
00:34:09.000It's not the Democrats fomenting riots and looting and justifying it and pretending it's all part of a giant racial reckoning that the United States deserves and ripping on the institutions of the United States.
00:34:51.000The secret is not only their patented Dynamic Variable Lumbar Support, which offers unbelievable lumbar support to your lower back.
00:34:57.000Now, they've introduced Elemax, featuring cooling, heat and massage therapy.
00:35:01.000Imagine regulating your body temperature and getting massage therapy while you're sitting at your desk.
00:35:05.000The xChair LMAX cooling delivers heat and massage technology directly to your core, helping to increase blood flow, muscle recovery, and energy.
00:35:11.000All perks that make working from home or the office a joy.
00:35:14.000LMAX even offers four different massage modes and fast warming heat technology for therapy to your sore back.
00:35:50.000We'll get to more on this in just a second.
00:35:51.000First, Joe Biden hasn't even been president for six months.
00:35:54.000Already, his agenda is a complete mess.
00:35:55.000Whether it is Democratic Senator Joe Manchin blocking Biden's beloved supposed voting rights bill, or Border Czar Kamala Harris getting ripped for not visiting the border.
00:36:54.000And now, we're told his amazing story in the film, Created Equal, Clarence Thomas in his own words, if you haven't seen it.
00:37:00.000I highly recommend watching it right now at Daily Wire.
00:37:02.000Despite the film's popularity, Amazon inexplicably removed it from its streaming service during none other than Black History Month, because it's one thing to have Black History Month center on like Michelle Alexander.
00:37:12.000It is another thing for Black History Month to center on, you know, actually important figures in American history like Clarence Thomas.
00:37:18.000Lucky for you, the Daily Wire has decided to step in and stream it ourselves.

00:39:28.000Number two, the number of guns in circulation in the United States has been going steadily up over the course of the last 20 years.
00:39:33.000The crime rate was going steadily down.
00:39:35.000And then Democrats took control of these major American cities and decided that they were going to actually reverse all that progress.
00:39:41.000Remember, New York City was effectively governed by Republicans up until the end of Bloomberg, at least with regard to crime.
00:39:48.000Same thing in Los Angeles up through the end of Richard Reardon, and then it started to reverse itself.
00:39:53.000And same thing in some of these other major cities where, while there may have been Democrats governing, these Democrats were at least friends with the cops, right?
00:40:04.000The moderate Democratic Party is dead.
00:40:05.000And so now they have to come up with some sort of alternative explanation for why reality is not complying with their demands that reality change.
00:40:12.000And there is this odd sort of need among Democrats to completely ignore the realities of life in order to present the ideology that they espouse as being practical.
00:40:21.000You saw this with Obamacare, that Obamacare kicked into place and suddenly restaurants were like, OK, you know what?
00:40:27.000It's going to cost us more money because now we have to cover certain things we didn't have to cover before.
00:40:30.000And so we're going to give you an Obamacare upcharge.
00:40:32.000And people get angry at restaurants for noting this.
00:40:39.000Minimum wage rises in a particular city, restaurants start to go out of business, or they raise their prices and they notify their customers, the reason that we're raising our prices is because the state is forcing us to spend more on labor.
00:40:48.000And Democrats will be like, how dare they let you know this?
00:40:50.000Remember, this was a big issue in Seattle just a few years ago.
00:40:53.000Okay, so now it turns out that human behavior does not comply with democratic demand.
00:40:59.000Crime goes up when you get rid of the incentive for crime to go down.
00:41:02.000So Joe Biden has to come up with a plausible alternative.
00:41:27.000So, the answer to that, therefore, is a gun crackdown on people who illegally own or use guns.
00:41:33.000Unless their name is Hunter Biden and they're snorting Parmesan cheese, and also their girlfriend is taking their gun and throwing it in a dumpster, and then you call Secret Service to clean it up.
00:41:39.000If that's the case, then you just leave it alone.
00:42:10.000So here is Joe Biden slurring his words and saying nonsensical things.
00:42:13.000As per his usual arrangement, his continuous battle with the teleprompter just maintains.
00:42:20.000Eddie worked as a violence interrupter.
00:42:22.000Now he runs a program that provides high risk men with cognitive behavioral therapy to help them react to the impulses by slowing down rather than following through on the violence.
00:42:36.000It puts them in, it puts them in paid jobs to change their trajectory.
00:42:41.000The program has reduced shootings by 40%.
00:42:46.000Well, we give them cognitive macubrity and then a cream of wheat.
00:42:52.000Here's the president getting into his actual policy as opposed to just generally slurring his words like a patient who needs to be returned forthwith to his hospice room.
00:43:03.000Here's the president of the United States claiming it is untrue that blue cities have the worst gun crime.
00:43:08.000The gun lobby wants you to believe that cities that had the toughest gun laws still have the highest rates of gun violence, as is pointed out by the group we had today in our roundtable.
00:43:20.000The violence is so they argue, why do you need those gun laws if they don't work in cities that have tough laws?
00:43:29.000Today's conversation with Mayor Scott of Baltimore, for example, echoed what we know to be the case in here for mayors all across the country.
00:43:36.000Mayors have the power to help shape and enforce the laws in their cities, but they can't control the laws in neighboring cities and states, even though the gun legally bought there is often ends up in their streets.
00:43:49.000The logic here is, yeah, sure, it's true.
00:43:51.000We have these gun control laws in our cities, and we have the power to control our cities, but we have no power to control our cities at all.
00:43:59.000So presumably, you know, we share this giant border with Mexico, as it turns out, this huge border with Mexico.
00:44:04.000So let's say that the Biden administration were to crack down on gun dissemination in the United States, and then guns started flowing over that border.
00:44:11.000Presumably, you can make the same claim.
00:44:13.000Oh my God, the gun crime in the United States, it's due to that border.
00:44:42.000And then Joe Biden goes into one of his bizarre reveries.
00:44:45.000We've already had his bizarre reverie about how you don't need guns because the government could nuke your ass, which is like Joe Biden as Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove.
00:44:59.000Also, he has now attempted this line about how you don't need certain types of ammunition because you're not going to shoot a deer with a Kevlar vest.
00:45:13.000Also, when a deer invades my home, I'll worry about shooting a deer.
00:45:17.000When somebody invades my home seeking to harm me or my family, There's a better shot that the human doing that is wearing a Kevlar vest than a deer.
00:45:25.000But here is the President of the United States again, being an addled, febrile idiot.
00:45:32.000There are things we know that work to reduce gun violence and violent crime, and things that we don't know about, but things we know about.
00:45:40.000Background checks for purchasing a firearm are important.
00:45:45.000Ban on assault weapons in high-capacity magazines.
00:45:49.000No one needs to have a weapon that can fire over 30, 40, 50, even up to 100 rounds.
00:45:56.000Unless you think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests or something.
00:46:03.000First of all, I love that he prefaces that.
00:46:06.000There are things we know that work against gun violence, like getting rid of quote-unquote assault weapons.
00:46:10.000That didn't get rid of gun violence, you idiot!
00:46:13.000You can look at the decline in gun crime across the United States, and it continued after the assault weapons ban expired in the early 2000s.
00:46:25.000There is no evidence that that assault weapons ban had anything to do with the decline in crime.
00:46:28.000You know what has to do with the decline in crime?
00:46:30.000This is the most obvious thing in the entire world.
00:46:31.000What had to do with the decline in crime?
00:46:52.000Over the course of the last week, the Democrats have reversed themselves on a bunch of their key issues.
00:46:56.000So to take one example, The same Democrats who are declaring it is life or death for democracy to not pass their garbage voting rights bill, which is not a voting rights bill.
00:47:24.000Congressional Democrats searching for any way forward on legislation to protect voting rights find themselves softening their once firm opposition to a form of restriction on the franchise they had long warned would be Exhibit A for voter suppression, voter identification laws, according to the New York Times.
00:47:38.000In recent years, as the concept of voter ID has become broadly popular, the idea that voters bring some form of ID to the polls has been accepted by Democrats ranging from Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia on the center right, Do Stacey Abrams of Georgia, a hero of the left, Senator Raphael Warnock, Democrat from Georgia, said, as I've always said, a person should have to confirm they are who they are in order to vote.
00:47:58.000No, you haven't said that always. Well, they reversed themselves because they realized it was unpopular.
00:48:06.000They're kind of stuck on the policing issue because it's so central to their racial equity push to be anti-cop that they have to find some sort of plausible alternative explanation.
00:48:13.000But they're reversing themselves as fast as possible on as many policies as humanly possible.
00:48:20.000Which is why, of course, they're sending Kamala Harris to the border.
00:48:22.000It turns out that that is a giant fail.
00:48:25.000So they put Kamala Harris in charge of the border, then she didn't go to the border, and people were like, hey, look, there's a giant crisis at the border and Kamala Harris is nowhere to be found.
00:48:31.000Now, she's heading to the US-Mexico border this week.
00:48:35.000She's heading there because Donald Trump said he was going there.
00:48:38.000All it took was Donald Trump saying that he was going to go visit the border for the White House to be like, well, that seems like bad optics.
00:48:43.000Why don't we send Kamala Harris there?
00:48:45.000And she pretends she cares about all of this.
00:48:47.000My favorite is Jen Psaki's attempted explanation of why Kamala Harris is now going to the border.
00:48:53.000It's to avoid political harm to the administration.
00:48:55.000Here's Jen Psaki trying to play it off.
00:48:58.000Why is the vice president visiting the border this week when earlier this month she dismissed a trip like that, saying it would be a grand gesture?
00:49:06.000She also said in an interview with NBC that she would be open to going to the border if it was an appropriate time.
00:50:28.000President Biden wants to take away your guns.
00:50:31.000The IRS is being weaponized against Christians and against conservatives.
00:50:36.000And a WikiLeaks drop shows that then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a strong suspicion about bioweapons at the Wuhan Institute of Virology a dozen years ago.
00:50:48.000So strange that we hadn't heard about that.
