Joe Biden's trip to Normandy, France on the anniversary of D-Day, left him looking like he might need a medical degree, and his wife, Jill Biden, looks like she might need to get one, too. The White House suggests that the president did not poop, but the fact that it's an open question is not ideal for the President of the United States, who has now been the subject of a giant Wall Street Journal piece pointing out the obvious to all of us which is that the President is no longer functional. Meanwhile, President Trump has said that as President, Joe Biden is not an amazing man, and all the rest of us should be thankful that he is not in a wheelchair. Joe Biden appeared to be lost at times during the ceremony, and some have suggested that he may have even defecated upon himself, but that's a topic for another day, when Joe Biden goes to the Normandy beaches to honor World War II veterans, and instead of paying tribute to them, he just stumbles around in his moon shoes, and does a weird dance, and then can't seem to figure out whether to sit down or get on a chair, or whether he should sit down, or stand up, or if he needs to be helped by his wife to finish the ceremony and then walk over to a chair. . Good luck to Joe Biden, and good luck to Dr. Jill, because she's probably going to need a doctor's degree soon. And good luck, too, because Joe Biden's wife, because that's not going to be able to keep him in control of his faculties, is going to keep Joe Biden in check, is she's going to make it all right, is it? or is she going to help him stay that long enough to do that, you know, right? . . . or is he s going to get there, you're not? ?

00:00:00.000Yesterday, Joe Biden went to Normandy on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare, and he attempted to channel Ronald Reagan.
00:00:11.000Ronald Reagan, of course, was there for the 40th anniversary of D-Day and gave an incredibly famous and wonderful speech about the boys of Pointe du Hoc and all the rest of it.
00:00:21.000Joe Biden showed up and proceeded to maybe poop.
00:00:28.000The White House suggests that the President did not, in fact, poop.
00:00:32.000But the fact that it's an open question is not ideal for the President of the United States, who has now been the subject of a giant Wall Street Journal piece pointing out the obvious to all of us, which is that the President is no longer functional.
00:00:44.000According to the New York Times, the aging American president facing a re-election campaign came to the Normandy coast of France to pay tribute to the daring army rangers who scaled the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, offering a pain to democracy for which they sacrificed and perhaps even wrapped himself a little bit in their reflected glory.
00:01:32.000It turns out that in 1984, Ronald Reagan, who is considered aging, was 73 years old, younger than both of the major party candidates this year.
00:01:43.000Joe Biden is currently 81 and no longer in control of his faculties.
00:01:48.000And so the clips that were going viral around social media yesterday were not the clips of Joe Biden appearing stalwart in defense of democracy.
00:01:55.000They were clips of the president doddering around, being guided by his handlers, being led by the hand by Dr. Jill, who's going to need a medical degree before all of this is over, given the way that Joe Biden is medically slipping.
00:02:07.000Here was Joe Biden arriving at Omaha Beach and staggering around in his moon shoes.
00:02:13.000Yes, they have him in these moon shoes because they are afraid he is going to trip.
00:02:16.000In orthopedic shoes with giant soles that look as though he's going to go bouncing around.
00:02:22.000Well, they're really just to prevent him from keeling over.
00:03:05.000Dr. Jill has some ambitions of her own.
00:03:07.000And the fact that Dr. Jill is standing there, she just looks awkward.
00:03:11.000She has kind of a poker tell, which you will see in this particular video, where she starts sort of touching her face as she becomes uncomfortable with her husband's obviously senile behavior.
00:03:22.000He gets up there, doesn't know what to do.
00:03:24.000Looks older than the 100-year-old veterans of Normandy who are sitting behind him and proceeds to kind of do a weird dance.
00:03:32.000This is the clip that had everybody suggesting that the president had perhaps defecated upon himself.
00:03:42.000Distinguished guests, please welcome the Honorable Lloyd J. Austin III, Secretary of Defense of the United States of America.
00:04:20.000Again, the fact that he walks, as President Trump has said, as though he is stepping over a bed of thumbtacks constantly, is not an amazing look.
00:04:32.000Meanwhile, pan back, and there are all the rest of the world leaders who are still greeting all of the members of the greatest generation.
00:06:40.000You're getting an extraordinary level of volatility and eccentricity in Joe Biden's policymaking, which makes it feel as though he's ping-ponging off the walls, because he kind of is.
00:06:50.000And that, of course, is not unusual in a case when you have somebody who's approaching senility.
00:06:54.000On some days, they are better than on others.
00:06:56.000Everybody knows this who has ever dealt with an aging family member.
00:08:02.000Okay, well that's always a great look, is when even the people who love you the most are making fun of the fact that you might fall down the stairs at any moment.
00:08:08.000As I've said, I would be absolutely flabbergasted if we make it all the way to the election without a serious fall by Joe Biden.
00:08:16.000I don't mean just like him tipping over on a bicycle, or him tripping on a stage, we've already seen both of those, or him falling up the stairs multiple times, we've seen that as well.
00:08:23.000I mean like an actual real health problem.
00:08:26.000God forbid it should happen, but I would be kind of shocked if given the rigors of the job and the fact that the president is expected to campaign, that does not happen at some point.
00:08:33.000So how are Democrats fighting off the perception that this president is not only incompetent at his job, he's just non-compos mentis?
00:08:41.000Well, the answer is they're ratcheting up the rhetoric against Donald Trump.
00:08:45.000Because again, if they can make the election a referendum on Donald Trump, then Trump has some troubles.
00:08:49.000If the election is a referendum on Joe Biden, the current president of the United States, then Joe Biden has some troubles, which is why the chief goal of the Trump administration is stay out of the line of fire.
00:08:59.000The Trump campaign needs to stay out of the line of fire.
00:09:03.000If Trump were to actually pursue Joe Biden's strategy from 2020, namely go into a basement and stay there until November, Donald Trump will be President of the United States again.
00:09:13.000It is the job of Democrats, however, to pull the panic alarm, push the panic button, with regard to Donald Trump.
00:09:21.000So yesterday, Hillary Clinton sent off what is one of the most egregious tweets I have ever seen in my life.
00:09:27.000It was about Normandy and here is what she, she limited the replies by the way, quote, 80 years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy.
00:09:36.000This November, all we have to do is vote.
00:09:39.000According to Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump is Hitler.
00:09:42.000And when you vote against Donald Trump, that is the same as you storming the beaches of Normandy.
00:09:47.000Yes, you, you fatso, carrying your Pepsi.
00:09:51.000You're slurpy, both of them, and you're Cheetos, in line, at the polling place, you voting against Donald Trump.
00:09:59.000It's like when your great-grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy while his friends got killed by mortars, according to Hillary Clinton.
00:10:06.000I mean, there are a few things that are insulting about this.
00:10:08.000One, the idea that voting is in any way equivalent to military service is absurd.
00:10:11.000Two, the idea that Donald Trump is Orange Hitler is absurd on its face.
00:10:21.000By the way, if anybody were to blame for the rise of Orange Hitler, it would be Hillary Clinton, who was the candidate who somehow lost to him because she wouldn't visit Wisconsin.
00:10:32.000But this has become a Democratic talking point over the course of the last 24 hours.
00:10:36.000Nothing says true tribute to the heroism of D-Day quite like comparing your political opponents to Hitler.
00:10:47.000I feel very, very confident that this is going to be a very hard-fought race, but when the chips are down, the American people are going to show up just like those kids did 80 years ago.
00:11:56.000And again, it is amazing how easily you become a hero of the day over on MSNBC.
00:12:00.000All you have to do is be a Republican for five seconds, turn around and crap on Republicans, and you will be hero of the day over at MSNBC.
00:12:13.000I mean, I don't think, I don't recommend that we hate those people, but how do you help people that must hate themselves to want someone to serve as commander-in-chief who thinks they are suckers and losers if they get injured or die serving the country?
00:12:28.000Listen, it's an absolutely terrible thing.
00:12:31.000I think that the President, President Biden, has actually done a great job for these people.
00:12:37.000President Trump may identify their grievances and may push buttons of their anger, but if you think of the reshoring of manufacturing, the infrastructure deal, you think of the microprocessor foundries that are going into the United States, he has such a case to make for these people coming back to the Democratic Party.
00:13:26.000Well, you don't have to know that much about vegetables to know that you can also get what you need from the vegetables with, like, balance of nature fruits and veggies.
00:13:33.000Balance of Nature fruits and veggies is the most convenient way to ensure you get your daily intake
00:13:36.000of fruits and veggies. Balance of Nature uses an advanced cold vacuum process that encapsulates
00:13:40.000fruits and veggies into whole food supplements without sacrificing those natural antioxidants.
00:13:45.000The capsules are completely void of additives, fillers, extracts, synthetics, pesticides,
00:13:48.000or added sugar. The only thing in those Balance of Nature fruit and veggie capsules? Fruits and
00:13:52.000veggies. You need nutrients to function at your best each and every day. Balance of Nature helps
00:13:56.000you do that. I've been taking my Balance of Nature. They're kosher. They're excellent.

00:14:20.000Meanwhile, again, if the entire case here is that Donald Trump is the incipient tyrant, it makes it kind of awkward that you guys keep jailing your political opponents.
00:14:27.000So yesterday, Steve Bannon, a person for whom I have no personal love, I've said before that Steve Bannon is one of the worst people I personally know, but Steve Bannon being sent to jail for the great crime of contempt of Congress is an absurdity.
00:14:43.000And yet that's what happened yesterday.
00:14:46.000According to Politico, a federal judge has now ordered Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, to report to prison by July 1st for his conviction for defying a subpoena from the January 6th committee.
00:15:17.000Circuit Court of Appeals said, no, that's not how this works.
00:15:20.000Now, that is a different question as to whether you go to jail for actual contempt of Congress.
00:15:25.000Typically, contempt of Congress does not result in a jail sentence.
00:15:29.000In fact, we know this from past members of, say, the Obama administration, who did not go to jail for contempt of Congress.
00:15:36.000Lois Lerner, who is famously the IRS director for tax-exempt organizations and presided over the IRS scandal under Barack Obama, under which it was clear that the IRS had, in partisan fashion, been going through and using keywords to prevent conservative and pro-Israel organizations from obtaining 501c3 tax-exempt status.
00:15:54.000She was called before Congress With a subpoena.
00:15:58.000She ignored the subpoena, and she was found in contempt by Congress.
00:16:01.000The Department of Justice, run by Barack Obama, then refused to prosecute her for contempt of Congress.
00:16:08.000She was given a nice fat pension, and she was shuttled off to wherever it is old IRS officials go to retire.
00:16:14.000Eric Holder himself, former Attorney General of the United States under Barack Obama in 2012, refused to comply with the congressional subpoena in what was called the Fast and Furious scandal, which was a scandal about effectively the federal government and the DOJ in particular, allowing for the illegal sale of weapons to members of the Mexican drug cartels to be taken back across the borders into Mexico in order, presumably, so that those guns would then be used in crimes identified with American manufacturers, and then that would serve as some sort of bootstrapped operation to oppose Second Amendment manufacture of arms in the United States.
00:16:52.000Eric Holder was called in front of Congress about all of this.
00:16:56.000No prosecution, nothing ever happened, despite being found in contempt by a vote of 255 to 67.
00:17:00.000Now there are two separate Trump-era officials who are going to jail or have gone to jail for contempt of Congress.
00:17:09.000According to Politico, if Bannon heads to prison on July 1st, it would put him behind bars until just before the November election.
00:17:16.000Nichols' decision would also effectively pardon-proof Bannon's jail sentence.
00:17:20.000Because, obviously, he's going to be out of jail before Donald Trump would take office.
00:17:24.000Trump had already pardoned Bannon on the final day of his presidency on federal fraud charges.
00:17:28.000There are now state fraud charges that are being brought against Bannon on a separate question as to whether he and some of his friends were basically fraudulently getting Americans to give money to quote-unquote build the border wall with private funding and then the money just disappeared.
00:17:40.000That's a separate case against Bannon ongoing right now.
00:17:44.000Bannon was convicted in July 2022 of two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress for stonewalling a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
00:17:51.000Nichols said, Now, this is not Nichols' fault.
00:18:43.000We're going to win at the Supreme Court.
00:18:44.000And more importantly, we're going to win on November 5th.
00:18:49.000I mean, honestly, for Steve Bannon, big political win in the same way that it's a big political win for Donald Trump to have been convicted in the New York courts in corrupt fashion.
00:19:00.000He's the second person they've done this to, by the way.
00:19:02.000Remember that they sentenced former Donald Trump advisor Peter Navarro also to a jail sentence, a four-month jail sentence at a federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Miami.
00:19:12.000And that, of course, was, again, based on his unwillingness to comply with the subpoena from the House Committee investigating January 6th.
00:19:19.000As I say, Democrats get away with this stuff all the time.
00:19:21.000In fact, the current Attorney General Merrick Garland is defying a congressional subpoena.
00:19:25.000According to Breitbart, Attorney General Merrick Garland said this week he will defy subpoenas from congressional Republicans he does not agree with.
00:19:32.000That was after congressional leaders among Republicans threatened to hold him in contempt because he refuses to hand over recordings of Joe Biden speaking with the special counsel Robert Herr.
00:19:43.000You'll recall that there's a transcript of that particular interview that made Poopin' Joe sound not particularly sentient.
00:19:50.000And it turns out that now the DOJ directly intervened to prevent the release of the tape.
00:19:56.000Garland this week said, quote, that the Republicans were seeking contempt as a means of obtaining for no legitimate purpose sensitive law enforcement information that could harm the integrity of future investigations.
00:20:06.000This effort is only the most recent in a long line of attacks on the Justice Department's work.
00:20:23.000But this is now part of a pattern of the Biden administration, its DOJ, and its connected law enforcement arms across the country doing the Democratic Party's dirty work.
00:20:31.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:20:32.000First, imagine waking up with a sore throat, running nose, or cough.
00:20:35.000You could tough it out, you could take time off, you could wait hours at urgent care, or you could do what I do and have a medical emergency kit from the wellness company at your disposal.
00:20:43.000It's a convenient solution that's just a reach away.
00:20:47.000This kit can treat over 39 different medical issues.
00:20:49.000No other doctor is going to prescribe all these meds at one time for prevention later, from antibiotics like Z-Pak to reduce sick time to amoxicillin for pneumonia, strep throat, ear infections.
00:20:57.000The Medical Emergency Kit gives you peace of mind in unforeseen medical emergencies and resource shortages.
00:21:02.000Every kit includes a Medical Emergency Guidebook as an educational resource for safe use.
00:21:33.000Another thing I don't buy, by the way, is Joe Biden saying he's not going to pardon Hunter.
00:21:36.000Yeah, I don't buy that for one hot second.
00:21:38.000If Hunter Biden ends up with a 10-year prison sentence, the chances that Joe leaves him in prison to rot are zero.
00:21:44.000But here is Joe Biden trying to maintain that he's going to be hands-off with his Justice Department, presumably just as hands-off as he was when the Justice Department tried to cut an absolute sweetheart deal with Hunter Biden to let him off on all of the charges.
00:21:56.000A sweetheart deal only negated by a federal judge going, what in the hell is this deal?
00:22:01.000Here is Joe Biden proclaiming he's not going to pardon Hunter.
00:22:45.000Also, by the way, I will point out that his love for his family is quite selective.
00:22:48.000When it comes to one granddaughter, she has no contact whatsoever with Joe Biden.
00:22:52.000According to ex-stripper and Hunter Biden's ex-lover, London Roberts, she has now told Piers Morgan that President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, the most caring members of the Biden family, have yet to even meet their five-year-old granddaughter.
00:23:05.000Which is, that is how you treat family.
00:23:11.000There's been several articles sent to me that people have told me that he's not acknowledged Navy and things like that.
00:23:21.000That was during a time that I think the paternity suit had happened and the child support thing had not yet, and Hunter and I had not come to terms with things yet.
00:23:31.000And the advice that, honestly, I've been given From my attorney was that, you know, grandparents don't normally step into a child's life until their child does.
00:23:44.000And I think that, you know, Joe is set back and waited for that to happen for Hunter before he was, you know, feels comfortable enough to step forward.
00:23:57.000So, Hunter, who had an unfortunate habit of schtupping hookers and strippers, it turns out that he impregnated one of them, then he tried to deny the paternity for literally years, and then finally he acknowledged the paternity.
00:24:07.000Joe Biden did not acknowledge this particular grandchild publicly for years and years and years.
00:24:12.000Now has done so, but still has not contacted this particular grandchild, but is there to defend Hunter Biden in the dock as he faces down federal gun charges that could land him in prison.
00:24:22.000By the way, it's gonna be a moot point.
00:24:24.000My prediction, as always, Hunter Biden is going to get a hung jury.
00:25:21.000His policy program is the bizarre and hideous love child of Bernie Sanders' policy program and Elizabeth Warren's policy program, with a little sprinkling of pro-Hamas protest mixed in.
00:25:33.000That is not a good recipe for re-election.
00:25:36.000We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:25:38.000First, when we got our house, one of the big things for me was natural light.
00:25:42.000I want the natural light, but also it gets really hot if you let in all the light.
00:25:46.000You need good blinds, is I guess what I'm saying to you.
00:25:48.000Not only do blinds enhance the aesthetic of your home, they also offer practical benefits.
00:25:52.000Blinds help protect your furniture and flooring from the most harmful UV rays that can otherwise cause them to fade.
00:25:56.000They can also help regulate the temperature inside your home and potentially help reduce your energy bills.
00:26:00.000In our studio, it gets very hot when the sun comes glaring through the window.
00:26:03.000We got our blinds from Blinds.com to help keep us cool throughout the hot summer months.
00:26:49.000So, earlier this week, Joe Biden tried to trot out an executive order that would supposedly crack down on illegal immigration.
00:26:55.000As it turns out, it's not doing anything of the sort.
00:26:57.000But, he's infuriated his progressive wing, which means the walk back is starting.
00:27:03.000Which is a dangerous thing, because Joe Biden can barely walk forwards, let alone walk back.
00:27:07.000According to Politico, President Biden enraged progressives this week when he clamped down on asylum at the southern border.
00:27:13.000Now he's looking at policies that may appease them.
00:27:14.000They need to, by the way, because the top two issues in this election are the economy, where he is losing by 20 points, and immigration, where he is losing by all the points.
00:27:20.000come after Biden officials have spent months crafting Tuesday's new border restrictions
00:27:24.000with top aides fixated on beating back GOP criticism over the president's handling
00:28:17.000It's not like they're just going to be given citizenship tomorrow.
00:28:20.000Well, one way that you get citizenship in the United States is to marry a legal citizen of the United States and then apply for citizenship.
00:28:27.000So shielding all those people from deportation would in fact create a massive new class of citizens, particularly because a wildly disproportionate number of people coming across America's southern border are single young men, who then end up pairing off with somebody in the United States already.
00:28:42.000Ed Markey of Massachusetts, who is a socialist, said, quote, I love it when people suggest things like they're caught in unconscionable circumstances.
00:28:47.000It is your choice to enter the country.
00:28:48.000for families who are caught in unconscionable circumstances.
00:28:51.000I love it when people suggest things like they're caught in unconscionable circumstances.
00:28:54.000It is your choice to enter the country, you're not caught in anything.
00:28:59.000The lack of agency the Democrats constantly suggest for individual human beings is not
00:29:05.000only stupid, but deeply counterproductive on every possible level.
00:29:08.000Everyone who fails in the United States or who's in a bad circumstance in the United States, according to Democrats, has no agency and is quote-unquote caught in an unconscionable circumstance as opposed to making a decision that they regret because there are consequences.
00:29:23.000Well, there's an illegal immigrant who Bill Malujian of Fox News saw coming across the border, asked him about whether he knew it was illegal to come across the border.
00:29:30.000The dude's like, well, yeah, I mean, of course.
00:29:31.000I know exactly where I am and what I am doing.
00:30:15.000You want to know why Donald Trump is winning on this issue?
00:30:17.000It's because he's clear about this issue.
00:30:18.000Donald Trump says the border closes day one.
00:30:21.000On day one, I will seal the border, I will stop the invasion, and we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in the history of our country.
00:31:09.000Well, because it turns out that's real unpopular with the donors and generally the American people.
00:31:14.000Penn's new rules say, quote, to ensure the safety of the Penn community and to protect the health and property of individuals, encampments and overnight demonstrations are not permitted in any university location.
00:31:23.000Meanwhile, UC Berkeley's leader has advice for the students is Carol Christ.
00:31:28.000She says, just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean it's right to say.
00:31:33.000So yeah, as it turns out, even the leaders of America's most left-wing institutions are realizing how deeply unpopular their garbage is.
00:31:40.000The same is happening at major Ivy League universities that are starting to move away from so-called DEI statements.
00:31:47.000According to the New York Times, For years, conservatives condemned the use of diversity statements by universities, which asked job applicants to detail their commitment to improving opportunities for marginalized and underrepresented groups.
00:31:58.000Critics called such statements dogmatic, coercive, and in one lawsuit seeking to end the practice in California, a modern-day loyalty oath that recalled when professors were required to denounce the Communist Party.
00:32:08.000Use of diversity statements continued to grow, but that seems to be changing.
00:32:11.000Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and MIT have each recently announced they will no longer require diversity statements as part of their hiring process for faculty posts.
00:32:20.000The switch has flipped, as of now, said Jeffrey Flier, the former dean of Harvard Medical School.
00:32:26.000Many professors on hiring committees may have been reluctant to voice their concerns about mandatory DEI statements before now, but I think the large, silent majority of faculty who question the implementation of these programs, and in particular these diversity statements, these people are being heard.
00:32:39.000It turns out the left-wing agenda is deeply unpopular, even with so-called moderate liberals.
00:32:43.000But Joe Biden can't pull himself out of the tailspin.
00:32:54.000First, there's some clear signs summer is quickly approaching.
00:32:57.000Kids are out of school, including my own, the temperature is rising, and of course, season finales this Sunday.

00:33:35.000Join us for the unforgettable season finale of Mr. Bircham.
00:33:38.000Also, don't miss my most recent episode of the Sunday Special with Pastor John MacArthur that drops this Sunday.
00:33:44.000In this episode, we discuss the decline of religious life in the West, the degradation of biblical teachings in America's churches, and the challenges of convincing the upcoming generation to live a life of faith.
00:33:52.000Here's a little bit of what it sounded like.
00:33:55.000It just so happens that the politicians have basically co-opted sin and turned it into their platform, which forces people who understand a biblical definition of sin to be the enemy.
00:34:11.000It's not that we're trying to take over the world.
00:34:13.000It's not we're trying to take over the United States.
00:34:16.000It's we're just trying to uphold righteousness.
00:34:28.000Meanwhile, the discombobulated Biden administration foreign policy is most obvious in the Middle East.
00:34:33.000It is truly amazing how the Biden administration has downplayed the most obvious moral conflict in the world, literally on planet Earth.
00:34:40.000So Joe Biden, of course, was in Normandy, and he suggested that the fight against the Russians in Ukraine is an extension of the fight that was fought On D-Day, here he was talking about the linkage between those two conflicts.
00:34:55.000Make no mistake, the autocrats of the world are watching closely to see what happens in Ukraine, to see if we let this illegal aggression go unchecked.
00:35:33.000Okay, again, that was a point that was then echoed by the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, suggesting a powerful parallel between D-Day and the Ukraine war.
00:35:44.000You know, there's a really powerful parallel, too, between what we're commemorating today and what we're doing now.
00:35:50.000Back then, it wasn't just the United States.
00:35:52.000Here in Normandy, 12 countries came together.
00:35:56.000160,000 men coming to this beach, coming to start the final fight that ultimately, 11 months later, led to victory in World War II.
00:36:03.000In Ukraine, we have more than 50 countries standing up, standing together, making sure that Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself and to push back this aggression.
00:36:11.000And that's the power of our alliances.
00:36:13.000And that's the biggest difference maker we have in the world.
00:36:15.000Okay, so just to get the moral conflict here straight, the suggestion is that Vladimir Putin is like Adolf Hitler, and the allies in Ukraine are like the allies in World War II.
00:36:25.000Well, can I think of a- let me think if I can think of a conflict somewhere on Earth where there is an organized military group that believes in literally all of the principles of Adolf Hitler.
00:36:36.000Like, it's not a controversy about what exactly they're doing.
00:36:46.000In fact, if you trace the lineage of this group back far enough, what you would find is that they were openly allied with the Nazis during World War II.
00:36:55.000Let's imagine that that group was currently in conflict with an army of a Jewish state trying to defend itself on multiple fronts.
00:37:04.000I mean, that might be linked, you might say, to, you know, some of the conflicts that were at issue on D-Day.
00:37:09.000You know, given the fact that you did have a genocidal Nazi regime that was dominating the European continent.
00:37:13.000And today, you have a genocidal, Nazi-esque group that in some ways is less apologetic about their anti-Semitism than the Nazis ever were.
00:37:23.000And they're fighting an existential battle with Jews.
00:37:26.000You might mention that, but no, because again, the Biden administration is absolutely unwilling to recognize the moral components of the conflict in the Middle East at all, at all.
00:37:34.000And so the Biden administration continues to put a weird pressure on Israel to make a deal with that is literally non-existent.
00:37:44.000I did an interview with Piers Morgan the other day, and Piers and I are pretty friendly, obviously.
00:37:48.000And, you know, I like Piers, but Piers kept saying over and over, why doesn't Israel take a ceasefire?
00:37:54.000And the answer is because the precondition to any ceasefire would be the terrorist group that committed October 7th dominates the Gaza Strip, kills all of its opposition, and turns that place into a terror haven the likes of which the world has never seen.
00:38:09.000Why don't you just accept a peace proposal?
00:38:22.000It's very reminiscent of the Obama administration when a group called Boko Haram, which was a terrorist group, in Africa, kidnapped a bunch of girls.
00:38:32.000And all of the Westerners, including the State Department and Michelle Obama held up signs that hashtag
00:39:01.000The proposal that the president outlined on Friday is nearly identical to one that said it would accept just a few weeks ago.
00:39:08.000The only thing standing in between the people of Gaza and an immediate ceasefire is... It's time for... to accept this deal and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
00:39:33.000They want the war to continue in order to maximize civilian casualties because they believe that the West is so stupid and weak minded that if enough Palestinian civilians die because it's hiding among them and there will be pressure for Israel to surrender to That basically they'll get their asses kicked, but when?
00:39:49.000Because the West will stop Israel from continuing to kick their asses.
00:39:53.000That is the proposal of the State Department.
00:39:56.000Because he's literally saying it out loud.
00:39:59.000According to the Wall Street Journal, Hamas's leader in Gaza told Arab negotiators he would accept a peace deal only if Israel commits to a permanent ceasefire, affirming the militant group's position in his first response to a proposal introduced by Biden to end the eight-month war.
00:40:11.000Quote, Hamas will not surrender its guns or sign a proposal that asks for that.
00:40:15.000Arab mediators said Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar told them in a brief message they received on Thursday.
00:40:22.000Biden, for his part, keeps trying to push forward a proposal that does not exist.
00:40:26.000Israel will not agree to a proposal that leaves in place, nor should they, nor should the West want them to.
00:40:32.000And Huxley isn't going to accept a proposal that doesn't leave them in blaze.
00:40:35.000But Biden's going to go to the UN Security Council and pass a resolution saying, you know what would be amazing is if there was a peace deal where maybe Huxley laughed and maybe they didn't, but everybody stops firing at each other so maybe I can win re-election.
00:40:46.000It's the most pathetic crap I've ever seen from an American administration in the Middle East.
00:40:50.000There have been a lot of pathetic administrations in the Middle East during my lifetime.
00:40:55.000Meanwhile, the Biden administration is issuing warnings to Israel that they shouldn't go north and attack Lebanon.
00:41:02.000Okay, Lebanon is not an occupied area.
00:41:05.000There's no argument about it being a quote-unquote open-air prison.
00:41:07.000There's no humanitarian control of southern Lebanon by Israel.
00:41:11.000Israel abandoned southern Lebanon years ago.
00:41:13.000It is part of a sovereign state called Lebanon, and it is being used as a base of attack against northern Israel to the point where 100,000 Israeli citizens are now living in their homes.
00:41:22.000And the Biden administration's response to that is to warn Israel.
00:41:25.000Not Lebanon and the terror groups that they should get out of the way before Israel mashes them.
00:41:29.000But Israel, according to Biden stenographer Barak Ravid.
00:41:34.000Barak Ravid says the Biden administration has cautioned Israel in recent weeks against the notion of a limited war in Lebanon and warned it could push Iran to intervene.
00:41:41.000officials and one Israeli official told Axios.
00:41:44.000The exchange of fire between Israel and Qatar that has been ongoing since the October 7 terrorist attack by Qatar dramatically escalated in the last two weeks, prompting some inside the IDF and the Israeli cabinet to call for significantly expanding the fighting against Qatar.
00:41:57.000officials told Axios the Biden administration told Israel it doesn't think a limited war in Lebanon or a small regional war is a realistic option.
00:42:04.000You know what would stop it from escalating?
00:42:06.000Putting back the two aircraft carriers that Biden put there in the first place, but then removed.
00:42:10.000Giving the fighters every opportunity to fire on Northern Israel.
00:42:15.000It's absolute incompetence, and here's the thing.
00:42:21.000The Biden administration only now, apparently, is starting to use some levers against, according to CNN, U.S.
00:42:28.000officials have not only publicly called on Trump to accept previous ceasefire proposals on the table, but there has never been an all-out pressure campaign marked by specific asks to individual countries as part of the Biden administration's push.
00:42:39.000Now, apparently, the White House went to Qatar in the hopes of adding traction to the negotiations.
00:42:46.000Suggestions include shutting off Now, I have a question.
00:42:58.000Why didn't the United States do that from day one?
00:43:00.000If the United States had the pressure to leverage Qatar into forcing them to surrender, why didn't they do that literally the very first day?
00:43:07.000Why did not the United States say to Qatar, where America has a taxpayer-funded airbase, we will move our airbase out of Qatar and leave you to the whims of your unfriendly neighbors?
00:43:17.000If you do not expel the leaders of... to American or Israeli custody, we will shut off all of their bank accounts.
00:43:24.000By the way, the leaders of... are richer than pretty much everyone on earth.
00:43:29.000They have billions of dollars in net wealth that they've robbed from their own people and from the international community.
00:43:37.000The American foreign policy establishment is so stupid that they're being told by the Arab parties That and the Palestinian Authority cannot be trusted and should not be left in charge.
00:43:46.000And meanwhile, they're like, but what if they get left in charge?
00:43:48.000We'll get to more on this in a second.
00:43:49.000First, dudes, you know, when it comes to things like ED, I know nobody wants to talk about that, but what if you could get that taken care of quickly and easily and also in a way that's going to be very helpful?
00:44:01.000This dual-action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis, Sildenafil and Tadalafil, into one formidable treatment.
00:44:09.000It's not merely about what's inside them, it's about the mode of delivery.
00:44:11.000Rose Sparks leverages the benefits of sublingual administration, meaning the tablet dissolves under your tongue.
00:44:15.000That method allows for fast absorption directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system, which means quicker onset of action, reducing the wait time typically associated with traditional pills.
00:44:24.000Moreover, Tadalafil stays in your system for up to 36 hours.
00:44:27.000Connect with the provider at ro.co slash ben to see if RoSparks is right for you.
00:44:32.000ro.co slash ben again, that's ro.co slash ben.
00:44:37.000Compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law but are not FDA approved and do not undergo FDA safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review.
00:44:43.000Only available if prescribed after an online consultation with a provider.
00:44:49.000Apparently, according to Axios, a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and a group of Arab officials about a month ago flew off the rails after an unusual shouting match between the UAE foreign minister and a senior advisor to the Palestinian president, according to five sources with knowledge of the incident.
00:45:05.000There was an April 29th meeting in Riyadh.
00:45:07.000In addition to Blinken, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE attended, as well as the Palestinian minister, Hussein al-Sheikh, who is the deputy of the Mahmoud Abbas, who is the titular head of the Palestinian Authority.
00:45:21.000According to sources, during the meeting, al-Sheikh said the Palestinian Authority is conducting reforms and creating a new government.
00:45:27.000Toward the end of the meeting, the Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed pushed back and said he'd seen no significant reform.
00:45:33.000Apparently, he called the Palestinian leadership Alibaba and the 40 thieves and claimed senior officials in the PA are useless and, quote, replacing them with one another will only lead to the same result.
00:45:44.000Why would the UAE give assistance to the Palestinian Authority without any real reforms?
00:45:50.000So, again, that happens to be correct.
00:45:55.000And yet the Biden administration, because they're discombobulated, and also because they're paid off, continue to try and work both sides of the aisle here.
00:46:02.000The most astonishing story with regard to the Middle East today comes courtesy of the Daily Mail, apparently.
00:46:07.000The International Criminal Court, they brought out this ridiculous, insane, and disgusting report suggesting that the Prime Minister of Israel ought to be arrested for crimes against humanity, for fighting a defensive war against in urban terrain.
00:46:22.000This report was co-authored by Amal Clooney, George Clooney's wife.
00:46:27.000And the President of the United States, Joe Biden, was like, we don't like this report.
00:46:34.000George, that wooden acting terrible director, called up the White House and shredded a Biden aide after the president attacked that particular ICC attempt.
00:46:46.000Apparently, the Oscar-winning actor vented his fury after being put through to Biden's senior counselor, Steve Reschetti, the Washington Post reported.
00:46:53.000His high-profile wife remains unrepentant about her role.
00:47:19.000So just to get that timeline straight, ICC, led by Amal Clooney, celebrity wife of Dullard actor, writes a dumb, terrible, immoral report about the Israel-Israel conflict.
00:47:33.000George Clooney calls up the White House, the United States White House, then walks back its initial comment a little bit on the ICC and tries to stop there from being consequences.
00:47:42.000And then that actor holds a fundraiser for the current president of the United States.
00:47:46.000Slow clap for the geniuses of the White House, as always, as always.
