Pro-Hamas protests across the U.S., Europe, and the rest of the world are designed to intimidate, harass, and humiliate Jews and their Western allies. The goal of these protests is not to protest in favor of Palestinians, of course. If it were, protesters would have been out in the streets for the last 20 years pushing for Hamas's ouster. Since Hamas was stealing literally billions of dollars and using it to build terror tunnels and rockets, and they were killing anyone who opposed them, the goal isn t even to make a political point, really. Politicians may try to translate the obviously pro-terrorism and anti-Semitic messages of these pro- Hamas protests into political speak, but that's not what these protests are about. They're about intimidation, and that's why the protests aren't generally calm or peaceful. They involve assaults on police officers, and on Jews unlucky enough to fall within their grasp. Hate crimes against Jews are up over 200% in New York City, and there's been a surge in anti-Semitism among pro-Israel protesters across the country. The only way to relieve the angrier the anger is to surrender to the supposed "deaf-headed liberals" who equate anger with justification. Their goal is to force the West into submission to their own oppression, and therefore relieve themselves of their supposed "weakness" their hope in the hope that they can force their enemies into acquiescence. It's a show of strength, it is a threat. It is not a protest, it's a surrender. it is an act of strength. And they will do nothing but watch us passively as we do nothing to do nothing, and do nothing at all of our values that we can do nothing against it That's the only the less we do, the more we surrender to our own weak and softheaded emotions the more of this, the stronger we become and the more powerless we become . We will not do anything, the less of us do nothing we surrender a more of us will be powerless And so we will be a victim of our own weakness more of our weak and helplessness More of this - the more helplessness will be the more weak and less of ourselves - I hope you'll join us in marching against us in your values - that's what we will do - That s what we do
00:00:00.000The goal of the current wave of pro-Hamas protests is very simple.
00:00:03.000The goal is not to protest in favor of Palestinians, of course.
00:00:07.000If it were, protesters would have been out in the streets for the last 20 years pushing for Hamas's ouster, since Hamas was stealing literally billions of dollars and using it to build terror tunnels and rockets.
00:00:16.000And they were killing anyone who opposed them.
00:00:18.000The goal isn't even to make a political point, really.
00:00:21.000Politicians may try to translate the obviously pro-terrorism and anti-Semitic messages of these pro-Hamas protests into political speak.
00:00:28.000I try to make it about a ceasefire or negotiations or a two-state solution, but that's not what these protests are about.
00:00:35.000These protests are about intimidation.
00:00:48.000They involve assaults on police officers and on Jews unlucky enough to fall within arm's grasp.
00:00:53.000Yesterday, a pro-Hamas rally in New York City, for example, ended with a pro-Hamasnik hitting a Jewish man in the head with a chair.
00:01:12.000Hate crimes against Jews are up over 200% in New York City.
00:01:16.000The pro-Hamas protesters will descend on the Museum of Tolerance, an irony almost too thick to believe, in order to assault Jews and reporters watching a compilation of Hamas' atrocities in the Gaza envelope.
00:01:26.000All of this on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the kickoff of violent Nazi atrocities against Jews in 1938.
00:01:46.000Museum of Tolerance, by the way, is right on Pico Boulevard.
00:01:49.000It's in one of the most Jewish areas of the city.
00:01:52.000And pro-Palestine protesters, pro-Hamas protesters, showed up to try to beat people up.
00:01:57.000Of course, we've seen these tactics all over the world.
00:02:00.000Protesters attacking police officers in London, defacing historic statues and putting the kathia on Ben Franklin, climbing the walls of the White House.
00:02:07.000We've seen protesters chanting openly for the slaughter of Jews, calling openly for the destruction of the state of Israel itself.
00:02:13.000On campuses across the nation, Jews have been surrounded, pushed around, threatened.
00:02:17.000There was UCLA yesterday, my alma mater, where one woman screamed, beat that f**king Jew
00:02:21.000as protesters beat up a pinata of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:02:25.000You can see them beating a pinata with a stick and screaming at the top of their lungs.
00:02:32.000You can see them beating a pinata with a stick and screaming at the top of their lungs.
00:02:40.000You're going to see one guy come up, grab the Netanyahu piñata and just start punching it, beating it.
00:02:57.000In the United Kingdom, Jewish students are now afraid to go to class.
00:03:00.000According to reporter Itan Smallman, quote, in Bristol, a Jewish student was told, you and your family are money-grabbing c***s murdering Muslim people.
00:03:07.000Another in Birmingham received an Instagram message from a stranger warning, quote, may a slow and painful death be granted to you and every other Zionist like you.
00:03:14.000A university rabbi also received a direct message on the platform, quote, you massacred innocent Muslims.
00:03:19.000In Warwick, a Jewish student's WhatsApp group was infiltrated by at least three different people bombarding freshers with the message shown to me, including dirty Jewish.
00:03:33.000All that was spelled wrong, of course.
00:03:35.000Over at MIT last night, according to students there, Jewish and Israeli MIT students were physically prevented from attending class by a hostile group of pro-Hamas students calling themselves the CAA.
00:03:46.000The administration warned them to clear and get out of the way or they would be suspended.
00:04:54.000For those who can't see, it is a Hamas member, it is a Hamas spokesperson, and tied to him are babies, an innocent woman, in the corner you can see a picture of the leader of Hezbollah and the Palestinian flag, and this Hamas spokesperson is saying, how dare Israel attack civilians?
00:05:13.000This, of course, is an accurate cartoon.
00:05:15.000This is indeed Hamas's strategy to hide behind civilians, particularly children, while claiming immunity.
00:05:20.000And the depiction of the Hamas figure is based on Hamas senior official Ghazi Khamad, who was most recently seen explaining away the slaughter of Jews and then pledging to repeat that slaughter.
00:05:30.000Here is what Ghazi Khamad looks like in real life, and here is what he looks like in the cartoon.
00:05:36.000No matter, the chemosynics in the Washington Post offices promptly intimidated the Washington Post into fully pulling the cartoon based on false accusations of racism.
00:05:46.000Editorial page editor David Shipley said, quote, A cartoon we published by Michael Ramirez on the war in Gaza, a cartoon whose publication I approved was seen by many readers as racist.
00:05:55.000I saw the drawing as a caricature of a specific individual, the Hamas spokesperson who celebrated the attacks on unarmed civilians in Israel.
00:06:02.000However, the reactions to the image convinced me that I had missed something profound and divisive, and I regret that.
00:06:07.000Again, it's the reaction that convinced him.
00:06:09.000It's not the actual content, it's the reaction.
00:06:11.000The angrier people get at him, the more they must be justified.
00:06:15.000Signed up Mudalo, a staffer at the Washington Post celebrated on the company Slack.
00:06:19.000Mudalo, unsurprisingly, is pretty obviously a radical pro-Hamasnik.
00:06:22.000Her Twitter feed contains allegations of Israeli genocide and blames Israel for the bombing of the Al-Aqli Hospital.
00:06:29.000Her feed contains precisely zero condemnations of Hamas.
00:06:32.000But the Post caved to her and her allies.
00:06:35.000They didn't cave to her because of the inherent content of the cartoon.
00:06:38.000In fact, here's another cartoon that's still up on the post YouTube page.
00:06:42.000It is a cartoon that is effectively a blood libel, falsely depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu punching a Palestinian baby in the face while ignoring a Hamas terrorist.
00:06:52.000The caption reads, Israel pounds Hamas targets in Gaza.
00:06:55.000The idea being that Bibi is looking specifically at the terrorist, ignoring the terrorist to punch and presumably kill the baby.
00:07:03.000It is still up on the Washington Post YouTube page.
00:07:06.000This is the story in the media these days.
00:07:08.000They will defend Hitler supporters who hate Israel, but they will dump cartoons that label Hamas terrorists.
00:07:12.000That is presumably why the New York Times spent its day yesterday defending stringers, quote unquote, who were participating in Hamas's terrorist attacks of October 7th.
00:07:20.000There are literal pictures of some of those stringers carrying grenades to the actual attacks.
00:07:28.000And the Islamic radicals know that the spineless media will cave to their demands.
00:07:31.000That's why rioters invaded the offices of the New York Times yesterday.
00:07:34.000According to the New York Daily News, Quote, a demonstrator set off a smoke bomb as about 30 others breached the lobby where witnesses said security guards let them briefly chant.
00:07:43.000One witness said, quote, it was 15 to 20 of them doing the actual damage with a guy taking pictures.
00:07:47.000The guy would set up his camera and then they would be spray painting the windows.
00:07:50.000Here's some footage of what it looked like last night outside the New York Times building and inside of the New York Times building.
00:07:56.000to the giant crowd gathered right outside of the New York Times building chanting
00:08:03.000They also make sure to spray paint a few cop cars with free Gaza
00:08:18.000Why has it become open season on cops?
00:08:22.000They also spray-painted a cop car with IDF KKK.
00:08:25.000Since when is taxpayer-funded property open season for pro-Khamosnyks?
00:08:30.000The protesters who entered the New York Times building claimed against all available evidence that they were invading the Times building because the Times was somehow pro-Israel, which is absurd.
00:08:40.000The New York Times is the most anti-Israel publication in major legacy media.
00:08:44.000Saying that the Times is somehow pro-Israel is like saying that Pravda is too pro-American.
00:09:09.000All of this is reminiscent of the Charlie Hebdo scandal of 2006, when that publication printed a cartoon of Muhammad, the prophet, saying, quote, it's hard being loved by jerks.
00:09:18.000Amid the massive protests, French President Jean Chirac condemned the magazine for, quote, overt provocations.
00:09:25.000A bunch of terrorism against Charlie Hebdo.
00:09:28.000In 2011, the offices were firebombed by Islamic radicals.
00:09:31.000In 2015, two Islamic radicals murdered 12 people in the Charlie Hebdo offices.
00:09:35.000The same people who in 2006 were claiming that Charlie Hebdo was the aggressor, by 2015 were out in the streets saying, Je suis Charlie Hebdo, which was a lie.
00:09:43.000They were never in favor of Charlie Hebdo's speech.
00:10:52.000If they get aggressive, they should be confronted.
00:10:53.000If they get violent, they should be arrested by law enforcement.
00:10:56.000That is literally the job of law enforcement.
00:10:58.000If they are not citizens and they support Hamas, they should be deported to countries that better reflect their awful values.
00:11:04.000No more weakness, unless you want more terrorists, more terrorist supporters, and more dead innocents.
00:11:09.000Hey, in just one second, We are going to get to the West continuing to start to cave, because again, the oppressor-oppressed matrix is the death of the West.
00:12:11.000You're making your cell phone coverage better, and you're saving money, and at the same time, you're actually helping fellow American veterans.
00:12:50.000It's also entirely because Hamas' strategy is to hide behind civilians, knowing that if they can get the media on their side, that if they can get the lefties on their side, if they can demonstrate anger in the streets, that there will be an attempt to call off the dogs.
00:13:04.000There will be an attempt to preserve Hamas in its position of power.
00:13:19.000The reality is that Biden's support for Israel is quite popular in the United States.
00:13:23.000The American people do not support Hamas.
00:13:26.000The reality is that by 84 to 16 percent in the latest Harvard-Capps-Harris poll, Americans support Israel over Hamas, and just as many believe that Israel is justified in its response.
00:13:37.000This is a piece written by Mark Penn at the Wall Street Journal.
00:13:40.000He was a pollster and advisor to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
00:13:43.000So it's not coming from a Republican who wishes to see Joe Biden win.
00:13:45.000It's coming from a Democrat who wishes to see Joe Biden win.
00:13:50.000According to Mark Penn, he says it's true that the 16% who support Hamas include many Democrats, as 18 to 24-year-olds split only 52 to 48 in Israel's favor.
00:13:58.000But are those Democrats going to vote for Donald Trump, who moved the U.S.
00:14:02.000In the end, they will come home, as they always do.
00:14:04.000Bringing home swing voters will take more than Israel policy.
00:14:07.000Israel ranks seventh among the issues of chief concern to American voters.
00:14:12.000If Joe Biden can't make progress on the other priorities, he's reduced to running a negative campaign against Trump.
00:14:18.000But the reality is that Joe Biden's Israel position is actually widely popular.
00:14:23.000That is why you are seeing these protests grow in size and virulence as they attempt to convince Joe Biden that if he doesn't push Israel off the mark, then they will somehow lead to his defeat.
00:14:31.000This is why you see Rashida Tlaib threatening that her followers aren't going to vote for Biden.
00:15:01.000Quote, as senior Biden officials push Israel to do more to minimize civilian casualties, General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Wednesday he was worried each civilian killed in Gaza could generate future members of Hamas, which, by the way, this is the dumbest argument you ever hear.
00:15:17.000That is the same argument as, oh, my gosh, you know, during World War Two, if we killed too many Nazis and too many civilians get killed while we're killing the Nazis, we're just going to create new Nazis.
00:15:26.000It's the most self-serving Catch-22 argument of all time.
00:15:28.000Did anyone worry about this when we were killing everyone in ISIS?
00:15:31.000We're like, oh my gosh, if we kill too many members of ISIS, you know how many people it's going to radicalize?
00:15:35.000Millions of people all over the world will be radicalized by us taking out ISIS.
00:15:45.000When you think that a movement is going to lose, you typically don't join the movement.
00:15:50.000But according to the New York Times, General Brown's comments offered a rare glimpse of division between Israel and the Biden administration.
00:15:57.000It came as the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, said the number of civilians killed in the Gaza Strip showed him there was something clearly wrong with Israel's military operations against Hamas.
00:16:05.000Now again, the stats that are coming out from the Gaza Strip are solely from Hamas.
00:16:09.000Hamas lies about this stuff all the time.
00:16:12.000They label Hamas terrorists as civilians all the time.
00:16:17.000Very often you'll see a stat come out like 80 people killed 70 of them civilians and it turns out 70 of them were terrorists and 10 of them were civilians because it was just a guy who's 18 years old with a gun but he was actually just wearing jeans and a t-shirt he's not in uniform according to the New York Times however The level of carnage has deeply shaken Israel and shaped its military response.
00:16:35.000The longer the Israeli military campaign continues, the greater the chance the conflict will spark a wider war, several officials in the Biden administration said.
00:16:41.000That, of course, is, again, a lie, actually.
00:16:43.000If Israel radically escalates and starts going ho-hog just to get this thing done with, that escalates the chances of a harsh response.
00:16:50.000There's been low-level conflict in the Middle East for literally my lifetime, my parents' lifetime, as long as Israel's been around.
00:16:58.000The only times it has broken into war is when there is an overt feeling that Israel can be overcome.
00:17:03.000So the Biden administration, again, is going wobbly.
00:17:06.000That is not a particular shock, and that is due, once again, to all of the public pressure that's being brought to bear.
00:17:25.000And they are guarding civilian corridors.
00:17:27.000It's not Hamas guarding the civilians.
00:17:29.000It's Israel spending its own blood and treasure to guard civilian corridors so that Palestinians can walk from the areas that Israel is targeting away from those areas in down south.
00:17:38.000Israel has now set up a field hospital for Palestinian Arabs.
00:17:44.000Because when they are going, they're going to have to go into Al-Shifa because Al-Shifa Hospital has been Hamas's military headquarters for literally two decades.
00:17:50.000When they do that, they're going to have to move sick patients from one place to another.
00:17:54.000Hamas, meanwhile, is just waiting for Israel to kill them so they can brag to the cameras about it.
00:17:58.000But here is Joe Biden doing this silly routine about how Israel needs longer humanitarian pauses.
00:18:05.000Did you ask for a three-day pause to get Yahoo?
00:18:08.000You know I've been asked for a pause for a lot more than three days.
00:18:19.000I've asked for even a longer pause for some of them.
00:18:22.000Okay, but if Hamas is not actually going to release the hostages, then it's just allowing them time to regroup and rearm.
00:18:28.000The only reason he's doing this is, once again, the Biden administration is trying to play it both sides.
00:18:32.000They're trying to say, yeah, we're pro-Israel, yeah, we're backing, and it's true, they are.
00:18:36.000And at the same time, they're simultaneously undercutting that by claiming that Israel is violating human rights, which is not true, by claiming that Israel needs to do more to protect civilians, even though Israel is doing more militarily to protect civilians than any army in history, including the American army in places like Iraq or Afghanistan.
00:18:52.000Again, all of this undercuts, it actually undercuts the ability of Israel to finish off the bad guys.
00:18:59.000Now, there is going to be a response by the West to all of this.
00:19:26.000Your personal information is kept private.
00:19:29.000Let me just tell you, when you get that life insurance done, it's super satisfying because, again, you don't have to think about it anymore.

00:21:15.000Well, folks, meanwhile, the West is going to have to respond at some point to the fact
00:21:18.000that it is honeycombed with people who support actual terrorism.
00:21:22.000And that's starting to happen already in Europe.
00:21:24.000It's going to come to a head tomorrow in London.
00:21:27.000So London has seen hundreds of thousands of people protesting in the streets for Hamas, screaming about how Israel should be obliterated, screaming antisemitic slogans, firing fireworks at officers.
00:21:38.000Defacing historic statues, attempting to deface the Cenotaph, which is a central monument to the dead in World War I, and then it was extended to World War II.
00:21:46.000Well, tomorrow is Armistice Day in London, and again, they're expecting a giant pro-Hamas rally.
00:21:53.000The goal of that is, again, intimidation.
00:21:57.000And it is expected that there is going to be a fair bit of controversy, maybe some violence, because some of the people who are gonna show up to counter protest are people who are attempting to protect those monuments.
00:22:09.000One of the people who's come under fire is Suella Braverman.
00:22:26.000Because Rishi Sunak is thinking about maybe dumping her.
00:22:30.000She wrote an article accusing police of bias in allowing the pro-Hamas protests.
00:22:34.000She claimed that some senior officers apparently play favorites and apparently the Prime Minister didn't sign off on all of that.
00:22:41.000Downing Street says it is still investigating how the article containing an inflammatory comparison between pro-Palestinian mobs and marches in Northern Ireland was sent to the Times for publication.
00:23:36.000According to the UK Independent, Rishi Sunak is under pressure to sack Azuela Braverman after she defied Downing Street by publishing an article accusing those police officers of bias over protests in support of Palestine.
00:23:47.000But that's not what the protests are about.
00:23:49.000My friend Douglas Murray has pointed this out.
00:23:51.000If you actually look at the tape of the protests, this is not a quote-unquote pro-Palestine protest.
00:23:57.000That's why they weren't protesting against Hamas five minutes ago.
00:24:01.000Everyone understands that even if you're an advocate of the two state solution, which again is fantasy land, given the fact that the Palestinians themselves are incredibly radicalized and have no desire for a two state solution.
00:24:11.000But even if you were a fan, you would be in favor of Hamas being gotten rid of.
00:24:14.000But nobody is actually talking about getting rid of Hamas.
00:24:18.000So it is very, very likely, actually, that there will be some sort of conflict.
00:24:24.000The Royal British Legion has defended pro-Palestinian demonstrators' right to protest amid a furious row over whether a rally should be allowed to go ahead on Armistice Day.
00:24:32.000The Royal British Legion has urged protesters to be peaceful and show respect as mourners flock to London this weekend to remember war dead.
00:24:38.000In a statement, the Armed Forces Charity said the British Armed Forces play a vital role in protecting the rights and freedoms of everyone in UK society, including the right to protest.
00:24:45.000We are not aware of any protests during the RBL Remembrance event.
00:24:48.000We hope events can go ahead over the weekend without disruption.
00:24:54.000Apparently, the latest ProChamas march through London is due to take place not only tomorrow, but they've now mapped out where exactly they're going.
00:25:02.000The six organizing groups behind the demonstration had faced calls from the Met Police to postpone their march on the grounds that it would clash with Remembrance Services.
00:25:09.000So first of all, if you have a march that you know is going to clash with the Remembrance Service for Fallen Soldiers in the UK, that should say something about the marchers.
00:25:17.000That should say something about the marchers.
00:25:19.000If they were marching, For peace and love, there'd be no clash with the possibility of people who are marching to remember war dead.
00:25:28.000It's pretty obvious the orientation of many of these marchers.
00:25:31.000The Met's Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley ultimately decided to give the march a green light.
00:25:35.000The laws created by Parliament are clear.
00:25:36.000There is absolutely no power to ban protests, said Sir Mark.
00:25:39.000He added the marchers had shown a complete willingness to stay away from the Cenotaph and Whitehall and have no intention of disrupting the nation's remembrance event.
00:25:48.000We will see if it goes quite as they think it is going to go.
00:25:51.000Meanwhile, Marine Le Pen, over in France, is beginning to gain more support because of this.
00:25:58.000The simple fact of the matter is that France, which has an extremely large Muslim population, the Muslim population of France right now is about 3.4 million Muslims.
00:26:09.000It's about 5% of the total population.
00:26:11.000Pew Research Center predicts that the Muslim population will rise to between 8.6 million, which is about like 12.5% of the country in 2050.
00:26:20.000This is one of the growing threats that people are perceiving because again, their entire district of Paris That, again, is very controversial to say, but it's reality.
00:26:33.000The police do not want to go in there.
00:26:35.000The same thing happens in areas of London, by the way.
00:26:38.000There are certain precincts where the police just do not want to go.
00:26:41.000In fact, under the high migration scenario that Pew Research estimates, they say that the percentage, here would be the percentage of Muslims in the EU by 2050, under a high migration scenario, 30% of Sweden, 17% of Norway, 15% of Finland, 20% of Germany, 18% of France, 20% of Austria, 17% of the UK.
00:27:08.000Because again, a huge percentage of this population, as we are seeing from these protests right now, is not in fact assimilating to Western values.
00:27:39.000She, again, was in a runoff for the leadership of the country in the last election cycle.
00:27:46.000And she is now joining in an anti-anti-Semitism rally, like, to fight anti-Semitism, because the case that she is making is that France has imported too many radical Muslims, which, of course, actually happens to be true.
00:27:56.000According to the Associated Press, French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has set off a cacophony of criticism over her plans to attend a weekend march to protest rising anti-Semitism in France.
00:28:05.000Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne, numerous political parties and citizens are to attend that Sunday march.
00:28:08.000Le Pen has said she and her national party, rally party, also will be there.
00:28:14.000The party's current president, Jordan Bardella, said in an interview he doesn't think Jean-Marie Le Pen is anti-Semitic, a remark that revived the link between past and present.
00:28:23.000Government spokesperson Olivier Varennes said Wednesday the Marine Le Pen's party does not have a place at what is dubbed as a grand civic march.
00:28:30.000But he said everybody is free to show up.
00:28:32.000Again, one of the things that's gonna happen as you see a rising level of radical Muslim activity
00:28:38.000in the West, you are going to see parties like Marine Le Pen who are going to start seeing
00:29:17.000It's time we step up and help give back to those who have served our nation's armed forces.
00:29:21.000This is where Black Rifle Coffee Company comes in.
00:29:23.000As a veteran-founded company, Black Rifle's mission has always been to support and empower fellow servicemen and women.
00:29:28.000Thanks to all of you who grabbed a can of ready-to-drink coffee this year, Black Rifle Coffee Company has been able to raise $500,000 for the Boot Campaign.
00:29:34.000This massive donation will be put to work to help restore the lives of veterans and their families.
00:29:38.000It wouldn't have been possible without your help.
00:29:40.000So drink more coffee, where you choose to shop matters.
00:29:42.000Thanks to the hardworking Americans who get their premium coffee from Black Rifle, they were able to donate over $400,000 to the Medal of Honor Museum and $75,000 to the Vets Gala to help provide essential mental health services for the veterans who need the most.
00:29:53.000This commitment goes beyond just great coffee and giving back.
00:29:56.000Veterans Day is also about honoring our service members by sharing their stories.
00:29:59.000Head on over to BlackRifleCoffee.com and hear the incredible story of Marine Recon Legend Clint Trial.
00:30:04.000Take the time to honor all of those who serve and sacrifice so much for our freedoms this Veterans Day.
00:30:25.000In fact, his approval ratings are basically stagnant.
00:30:28.000They've been stagnant for quite a while because he's not very good at, you know, the president thing.
00:30:32.000I'm looking at his approval ratings right now, and what you see is that Joe Biden's approval ratings right now, basically the same as they were, you know, back in like July of 2022.
00:31:19.000I mean, it's entirely young men there, right?
00:31:21.000Not a lot of women and children in that crowd.
00:31:24.000These are the supposed refugees, and they're cheering Joe Biden's name.
00:31:28.000When you connect that to the fact that the illegal immigration is so bad that Texas literally had to, this week, absorb land in the Rio Grande in an attempt to stop illegal immigration.
00:31:40.000According to the UK Daily Mail, the Texas General Land Office announced in April state troopers could clear out two islands near Eagle Pass.
00:31:47.000Five months later, Land Commissioner John Buckingham added another in Fronton as part of Operation Flattop.
00:31:52.000Texas pointed to old maps that claim the islands in the middle of the Rio Grande were always part of Texas.
00:32:27.000Data from the Department of Homeland Security showed thousands of Chinese migrants illegally crossed the Rio Grande by way of Mexico in 2023.
00:32:33.000By the way, there are terrorist threats who cross the Rio Grande too.
00:32:35.000It turns out that when you can't actually clear people, Who are crossing the border, you have no idea who they are.
00:32:42.000Cartel soldiers have been crossing the border using these islands.
00:32:44.000So Texas literally had to claim islands in the middle of the Rio Grande just to clear them of the possibility of being used for illegal immigration.
00:32:50.000Meanwhile, in your latest horrible illegal immigration crime story, Jazz Shaw reporting over at Hot Air.
00:32:57.000This week, ICE managed to arrest an illegal immigrant from Honduras in Virginia.
00:33:01.000He was charged with felony rape, by force, threat, or intimidation, abduction by force, and assault on a family member.
00:33:05.000That's bad enough by itself, but after digging into this dirtbag's background story, it becomes even worse.
00:33:09.000This is the third time he has been arrested on similar charges, and yet somehow he keeps winding up back on the streets.
00:33:15.000They know where, when, and how he got into the country.
00:33:17.000How many more like him are lurking out there?
00:33:20.000Apparently, he entered the United States on an unknown date at an unknown location, He was not inspected or admitted by an immigration official.
00:33:27.000He was previously arrested by Border Patrol near Roma, Texas in June 2021.
00:33:31.000He was then given that famous notice to appear before a DOJ immigration judge.
00:33:37.000He was later arrested in July 2023 by the Herndon Police Department and charged with felony rape by force, threat or intimidation, abduction by force, and assault on a family member.
00:33:45.000So he's been in the country since 2021.
00:33:50.000And then he just went and did like a series of violent crimes.
00:33:54.000There's a lot of this going on in the United States.
00:33:56.000If you want to make Donald Trump president, this is a great way to do it.
00:33:59.000And Joe Biden has been facilitating that.
00:34:01.000Meanwhile, when it comes to the economy, it is clear that Jerome Powell really has no tools at his disposal.
00:34:06.000He really doesn't know what to do at this point.
00:34:08.000The fact is that the economy continues to run hot, despite the fact that the interest rates are now up well above 5%.
00:34:15.000If it continues to run hot at this rate, the inflation is going to continue.
00:34:18.000Not only is the inflation going to continue, wage price spirals are going to continue, which means you feel poorer tomorrow than you did yesterday.
00:34:25.000Even if the rate of inflation is decreasing, inflation itself is still increasing.
00:34:29.000Which is why yesterday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the central bank would not declare an end to its historic interest rate increases until it had more evidence that inflation was actually cooling.
00:34:39.000According to the Wall Street Journal, Price and wage pressures have eased recently.
00:34:43.000Powell is disappointed, however, because he thinks that the Fed is more likely to tighten policy than ease it if any change is warranted.
00:34:51.000He pointed to earlier inflation head fakes, past episodes in which price pressures ebbed for a little while before surprising Fed officials by picking it up again.
00:35:00.000He said they would monitor economic conditions closely to avoid both the risk of having been misled by a few months of data, as well as the risk of having raised rates too high.
00:35:08.000So those interest rates could be going up anyway.
00:35:10.000And by the way, if you're looking for a new mortgage, again, we have not actually seen the bubble burst yet.
00:35:15.000Because the mortgage rates are so unbelievably high, people are not actually selling their houses.
00:35:18.000Because they're not selling their houses, that means that there's no inventory.
00:35:21.000Because there's no inventory, the price has not yet dropped.
00:35:23.000There will come a point here where people start to lose their jobs and can't afford their current mortgages, and then you are going to see a serious real estate bubble burst.
00:35:31.000I will say one thing for Jerome Powell.
00:38:05.000Meanwhile, in actual good news for Republicans, Joe Manchin has now said that he is not going to run for re-election in the Senate in West Virginia.
00:38:12.000West Virginia is a very, very heavily red state.
00:38:15.000West Virginia, in fact, is the state that voted most for Donald Trump in the last election cycle.
00:38:19.000Yesterday, Manchin said that he would not run for another term in West Virginia.
00:38:24.000He's 76 years old, but that doesn't mean that his political career is over.
00:38:27.000As we'll see, he may even pose more of a threat to Joe Biden than just that.
00:38:31.000His term ends January 2025, which means, of course, that he is going to- his seat will be up for election in 2024.
00:38:37.000Here he was announcing yesterday that he would not be running for re-election in the state.
00:38:43.000After months of deliberation and long conversation with my family, I believe in my heart of hearts that I have accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia.
00:38:53.000I have made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that I will not be running for re-election to the United States Senate.
00:39:01.000But what I will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together.
00:39:12.000To the West Virginians who have put their trust in me and fought side by side to make our state better, it has been my honor of my life to serve you.
00:39:38.000There are zero Republican senators facing re-election in purple states, in states that Trump lost in either of the last two presidential elections.
00:39:46.000There are six Democrat senators who are facing re-election states in states that Trump won in at least 2016 or 2020.
00:39:53.000So in purple states, six senators up, zero Republicans, all Democrats, right?
00:40:03.000Unless Republicans blow it, which Republicans have a magical way of doing it.
00:40:06.000I mean, I have to say, I'm astonished at the unbroken chain of Republican failure over the course of the last six years or so.
00:40:14.000In Arizona, Kyrsten Sinema announced that she was going to run as an independent.
00:40:18.000That is because the Democratic Party basically undercut her because she was making too many deals with the other side, having too many conversations with Mitt Romney and the like.
00:40:26.000Well, that has now opened up a three-way race between Kyrsten Sinema as independent, Ruben Gallego as a Democrat, And Carrie Lake, presumably, as the Senate opponent in Arizona.
00:40:37.000Now, Carrie Lake just lost a gubernatorial race over there.
00:40:39.000It is quite possible that she would even lose in a three-way race.
00:40:43.000That Sinema would pick up some of the moderate Republicans, and that she'd pick up some of the moderate Democrats, and that she loses, but Gallego somehow sneaks in.
00:40:50.000That's gonna be a very hotly fought race, and an uncomfortable one for Republicans, because Republicans have decided in Arizona to, just more cowbell is the solution, apparently.
00:40:59.000Meanwhile, over in Michigan, Democrats have a seat.
00:41:07.000She was re-elected in 2018 with 52.3% of the vote.
00:41:10.000Depending on who Republicans nominate in Michigan and the more urban state of the Michigan Republican Party, they could theoretically win a seat there.
00:41:35.000John Tester is seeking reelection in 2024.
00:41:36.000He won in 2018 with 50.3% of the vote, but he's going to be on the ballot presumably at the same time as Trump in 2024.
00:41:46.000So running in 2018, as a Democrat and Republican state, not quite the same thing as running at the same time as a Republican president who in Montana should have some coattails.
00:41:54.000So you could easily see Republicans picking up that seat.
00:41:56.000So that would give Republicans a 51-49 majority.
00:42:00.000In Ohio, Ohio's still a swing state, kinda sorta, but Ohio is deeply red.
00:42:05.000Trump won the state widely in 2016 and 2020.
00:42:09.000Sherrod Brown is looking for re-election.
00:42:12.000He won in 2018 with 53.4% of the vote.
00:42:15.000So Sherrod Brown is a much more formidable candidate than probably Jon Tester is in Montana.
00:42:20.000However, is that a seat the Republicans could win if they don't run somebody terrible?
00:42:27.000Republicans look like they are actually going to run somebody good this time.
00:42:31.000That presumably would be Dave McCormick, who is running for the Senate in Pennsylvania.
00:42:36.000Democratic Senator Bob Casey is looking for a fourth term.
00:42:39.000He was re-elected by a wide margin in 2018, but the state seems to have gotten closer along these lines, and McCormick is a good candidate.
00:42:46.000In Wisconsin, Senator Tammy Baldwin is up for re-election again.
00:43:15.000That's very bad for Joe Biden and the Democrats, obviously.
00:43:18.000Joe Manchin retiring from the Senate in West Virginia, giving up his seat presumably to maybe Governor Jim Justice or a Republican.
00:43:23.000That's not just a problem for Democrats in one sense, it's a big problem for them in another, which is that Joe Manchin could easily join a no-labels ticket.
00:43:29.000So, there's been a lot of talk over the last couple of years about a no-labels third-party ticket taking votes away from Joe Biden.
00:44:02.000His locked-in level of support is probably in the low-40s to mid-40s.
00:44:06.000There's probably 15, 20% of the vote that's up for grabs in between there.
00:44:10.000Now, if there's no serious third party challenge, no serious third party candidate, then probably those people split in favor of Joe Biden.
00:44:16.000That's typically what happens in an election where Donald Trump is involved.
00:44:19.000However, If there is a plausible third-party alternative, that changes real fast.
00:44:28.000is sort of the default, what-if-there-was-a-third-party guy.
00:44:32.000And in a lot of polling, he's up in the 20s.
00:44:34.000In one poll, he's up in the 30s, which just shows the wild dissatisfaction the American public has with the current political choices being offered them.
00:44:41.000Being a non-functional 80-year-old and Donald Trump.
00:44:45.000These are not choices that the broad swath of the American people are into.
00:44:49.000The party base in the Republican Party loves Trump.
00:44:52.000The party base in the Democratic Party doesn't love Biden, but they feel like they're stuck with him.
00:44:54.000And so there are a lot of people who are sort of in the middle and dissatisfied with both candidates.
00:44:59.000And so the possibility of a quote-unquote moderate ticket, a party-crossing ticket, that would be like Manchin-Romney, You're gonna see, like 20-25% of the population, they'll take a very serious look at that, and it'll come disproportionately, you would imagine, from Joe Biden's side.
00:45:13.000Because again, Donald Trump has a higher level, he has a higher floor, he has a lower ceiling, and he has a higher floor, Donald Trump.
00:45:20.000Joe Biden has a lower floor and a higher ceiling, just electorally speaking.
00:45:25.000Although, because of his poor performance, his ceiling may also be really low at this point.
00:45:31.000According to the New York Times, What Manchin plans to do remains a mystery.
00:45:35.000His closest aides and advisors insist they don't know.
00:45:37.000A conservative Democrat who has served as one of his party's key votes in the Senate, he has long kept his own counsel on his biggest decisions and made up his mind at the last minute.
00:45:44.000Manchin has flirted this year with No Labels, a group that has made noise about running a centrist candidate for the White House.
00:45:49.000No Labels officials said on Thursday Manchin's announcement had taken them by surprise, though they commended him for stepping up to lead a long overdue national conversation about solving America's biggest challenge.
00:45:58.000Regarding our No Labels Unity Presidential Ticket, we are gathering input from our members across the country to understand the kind of leaders they would like to see in the White House, said the group in a statement.
00:46:06.000Some allies of Manchin are skeptical he'll run for one that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to run a credible, independent, or third-party campaign.
00:46:14.000But he might, just because of the high levels of dissatisfaction.
00:46:20.000For months this year, Manchin has cozied up to No Labels, according to the New York Times, which so far has secured ballot access in 12 states in an attempt to offer an alternative to Biden and Trump.
00:46:28.000The group's president, Nancy Jacobson, has told potential donors the group intends to select a Republican to lead its ticket, a decision that would exclude Manchin if No Labels maintains that position.
00:46:37.000One candidate who's openly teasing a No Labels run, Larry Hogan?
00:46:46.000You can see Democrats panicking about this, by the way.
00:46:48.000Democrats have been panicked about no labels for quite a while here, because again, they look at Joe Biden and they don't like what they see.
00:46:55.000So, the realities that are setting in for Joe Biden are very real and very terrifying.
00:47:01.000He's going to have to figure out pretty quickly what his strategy is.
00:47:03.000His strategy, by the way, is going to be just attacking Donald Trump.
00:47:05.000Whether that works or not is going to be very much dependent on the news cycle.
00:47:09.000And if you're a Democrat running against Donald Trump, you don't want that to be dependent on the news cycle.
00:47:13.000Joe Manchin must be scaring the pants off Democrats right now.
00:47:16.000All right, guys, the rest of the show continues right now.
00:47:18.000We'll be getting into the Washington Post, which has decided that only fans, you know, women posing nude for money, that that is actually a wonderful line of business.
00:47:26.000If you're not a member, become a member.
