The Democratic Party is totally disconnected from reality, and that s why Joe Biden is in serious trouble. The problem with the country is that it s filled with bitter clingers, people who are still relying on God and guns and all these terrible things, religion. And the cultural issues cloud some of their reception of an argument that really is in their interest. That s why people are not voting Democrat as much as they should be, because they are blocked by cultural factors like guns, God, and gays. That would be a woman s right to choose. And the Democratic Party has decided to cave to the most radical members of its base, who apparently think God is very bad, and guns are very bad. And gays are bad because they hate gay people. That is not a winning formula. The vast majority of people in the United States just want to be left alone, and to be part of solid family structures, and the social fabric building that is things like religion. But she s supposed to understand all that, but she doesn t. And that s not a problem, because there is a radical wing of the party that has now taken over the center of the Democratic party, and they are catering to right now of the losers. That s not an army of losers, and I ve mentioned this this weekend at the weekend, which is something that happened over the weekend because Jerry Seinfeld was speaking at Duke University because they re being guided by the 6-600 people who were cheering on the 6. people are being guided out by the virtue of being a 6-6. by the meritocracy. And they are not every Democratic voters are not a rebel because they're not a Democratic voter, they re not a member of the they re a rebel because they ve got it wrong, they are a . and they ve been guided by a meritocracy by a party that s got it all wrong, and are a party led by a group of people who believe that traditional values are inherently wrong and bad and bad, they wish to rebel against traditional values and are bad and bad are against the 7- bad . and so they re bad, so they bad? so they want to rebel, right now, and so bad, they don t have a right to be bad and so on and so forth, so why are they bad ? and so bad?
00:00:07.000It is our brand new animated series created by Adam Carolla starring Adam and Megyn Kelly and Roseanne Barr and a cast of real all-stars in the comedy world.
00:00:17.000Here's a little bit of what it looks like.
00:01:13.000So, the Democratic Party is totally disconnected from reality.
00:01:17.000I mean, totally disconnected from the normies, and that is why Joe Biden is in serious, serious trouble.
00:01:22.000I give you as exhibit A today, not Joe Biden, but Nancy Pelosi.
00:01:26.000So Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, and still, of course, a very influential voice inside the Democratic Party, she was at Oxford Union Society doing a debate over populism with Winston Marshall, the former musician from Mumford and Sons.
00:01:40.000And at that debate, she started tearing into populism in language that sounds very much like Barack Obama circa 2008.
00:01:46.000You remember that in 2008, Barack Obama was running for president of the United States, and he suggested that the problem with the country is that it was filled with bitter clingers, people who are still relying on God and guns and all these terrible things, religion.
00:01:59.000Well, Nancy Pelosi is still doing that routine.
00:02:01.000Here she was ripping into the normies.
00:02:04.000...of these poor souls who are looking for some answers.
00:02:09.000We've given them to them, but they're blocked by some of their views on guns.
00:02:17.000That would be a woman's right to choose.
00:02:19.000And the cultural issues cloud some of their reception of an argument that really is in their interest.
00:02:27.000Okay, so according to Nancy Pelosi, the reason people are not voting Democrat as much as they should be is because they are blocked by cultural factors like guns and God and gays.
00:02:38.000Now that's an absurdly reductive view of people on the other side of the aisle.
00:02:41.000It turns out that the vast majority of people in the United States just want to be left alone.
00:02:45.000They want to be part of solid family structures.
00:02:47.000They want to be involved in their local church or local synagogue.
00:02:51.000They want to be involved in the social fabric building.
00:02:56.000Nancy Pelosi herself is supposedly a religious Catholic, although again, I will question just how religious you are when you support transgenderism, same-sex marriage, and abortion as a point of course in your politics.
00:03:06.000But she's supposed to understand all of that, but she doesn't.
00:03:09.000Because there is a radical wing of the Democratic Party that has now taken the helm.
00:03:15.000In the center of the Democratic Party, remember, Nancy Pelosi used to be more moderate than she is.
00:03:19.000Barack Obama shifted the party to the left, and then Bernie Sanders shifted the party even more to the left.
00:03:24.000And all Joe Biden is is a stand-in for a weathervane.
00:03:29.000He is no longer sentient, if he ever was.
00:03:32.000Even when he was sentient, he was a weathervane.
00:03:34.000Now, he is an inanimate object at the center of the Democratic Party.
00:03:37.000He is a cork bobbing on the waves of the Democratic Party.
00:03:40.000And the Democratic Party has decided to cave to its most radical members, people who apparently think that God is very bad, and the guns are very bad, and that the vast majority of Americans are only voting Republican because they hate gay people or some such nonsense.
00:04:03.000The vast majority of Democratic voters are not members of the Army of Losers.
00:04:06.000I'm talking here about people who wish to rebel against the meritocracy, who believe that traditional values are inherently wrong and bad.
00:04:13.000The kinds of people who let a student walk out at Duke University because Jerry Seinfeld was speaking, which is something that happened over the weekend.
00:04:41.000And you can hear the students booing the walkout.
00:04:46.000Okay, there's a very small minority, but these are the people that the Democratic Party is catering to.
00:04:51.000They're catering to the people like the graduate of Columbia University, they had the graduation over the weekend, and one graduate of Columbia University decided, because she was wearing a keffiyeh, and because she hates Israel, that she was going to rip up her worthless diploma, which is fine.
00:05:06.000I mean, honestly, she had a Master's of Social Work, so she may as well burn the diploma anyway, since that's a useless degree.
00:05:24.000And then holding up her cap to the applause of pretty much no one.
00:05:30.000Of course, this was all to be expected because again, she had her flag membership in the army of losers emblazoned right on her graduation outfit.
00:05:38.000She had the ribbon around her neck and it had the Trans Pride Progress flag and Palestinian flag and all the rest of that sort of stuff.
00:05:44.000These are the people to whom the Democratic Party has decided to appeal.
00:05:49.000This is the clear logic of the Democratic Party at this point.
00:05:51.000Internationally, by the way, the left has done the same thing.
00:05:54.000A good example of this was over at Eurovision.
00:05:55.000So Eurovision is this huge event in Europe.
00:05:59.000Every year, they have a competitor from each European and Western country compete.
00:06:03.000And the people who win are typically members of the Army of Losers, far leftists who hate traditional values.
00:06:11.000The winner this year was a non-binary Swiss rapper.
00:06:15.000If this is good music to you, then I challenge whether you have eardrums or not.
00:07:29.000The whole point is army of losers, which is why, of course, Eden Golan, who's a normal-looking woman, who sang for Israel, ended up competing at Eurovision, was protested by literally tens of thousands of people, including Greta Thunberg, as we mentioned last week.
00:07:45.000And as it turns out, the normies are now having their revenge.
00:07:49.000Because when it came to the popular vote, the jury, there's two aspects of Eurovision.
00:07:53.000One is the jury vote, which is all of the elites who decide who was the best performer.
00:07:57.000And apparently they thought that Swiss non-binary rapper was just incredible and had to win.
00:08:02.000But when it came to the actual vote of, you know, human beings living in Europe who voted, Israel ended up placing second in the popular vote.
00:08:12.000In fact, Israel topped the popular vote in Britain, Spain, Germany, France, Finland, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, and Italy.
00:08:18.000Because, as it turns out, people don't like the army of losers.
00:08:22.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:08:23.000First, I want to let you in on something that I find highly irritating, as people on the plane, like I was yesterday, assume that everyone else wants to listen to their garbage pop music, which did in fact happen yesterday.
00:08:34.000Why would I want to listen to Jojo Siwa ever?
00:08:37.000Well, you know what else is stupid and irritating?
00:08:42.000Getting life insurance will give you peace of mind knowing that if something were to happen to you, your family could cover expenses while getting back on their feet.
00:08:48.000Policy Genius has licensed award-winning agents and technology that make it easy to compare life insurance quotes from America's top insurers in just a few clicks to find the lowest price.
00:08:56.000Their team of licensed experts is on hand to help you through the process.
00:08:59.000Even if you already have a life insurance policy through work, it might not offer enough protection for your family's needs.
00:09:03.000It might not follow you if you leave your job.
00:09:06.000Listen, you need to think about what happens to your family in case, God forbid, something happens to you.
00:09:09.000You think about it for like five minutes, you go to Policy Genius, you get it solved, then you don't think about it again.
00:09:13.000With Policy Genius, you can find life insurance policies starting at just $292 per year for a million dollars in coverage.
00:09:18.000Some options offer same-day approval and avoid those unnecessary medical exams.
00:09:22.000PolicyGenius works for you, not the insurance companies, which means they don't have an incentive to recommend one insurer over another.
00:09:39.000Again, there's a reason Hamas is emblematic of the Army of Losers.
00:09:42.000They are people who have created a victimhood status for themselves by engagement in terrorism and evil, and then claim that that's all the result of evil Western civilization.
00:09:50.000And so the Army of Losers likes to rush to their defense.
00:09:53.000This is who the Democratic Party has decided to fall in line with, is the Army of Losers.
00:09:58.000And it is not paying off for them, because here is the latest polling data for Joe Biden.
00:10:02.000The latest polling data for Joe Biden, who has spent the last month basically undermining the state of Israel in its attempts to extirpate a terrorist group currently holding American hostages.
00:11:01.000The people who don't like the army of losers don't like him.
00:11:03.000And again, that is a large part of the Democratic base.
00:11:06.000That is all the moderates in the Democratic Party base who do not wish to overthrow the American meritocracy in the name of people who declare themselves victims.
00:11:14.000Who don't have a lot of sympathy for Hamas.
00:11:17.000Who don't believe that the queers are coming is the future of the West.
00:11:22.000These are just normal, everyday Americans who want to be left alone.
00:11:25.000They want to be able to earn a living.
00:11:26.000They want to be able to put food on the table.
00:11:28.000And they want their kids to have more opportunity than they had.
00:12:11.000you The sense that Biden would do little to improve the nation's fortunes has helped erode his standing among young Black and Hispanic voters, who usually represent the foundation of any democratic path to the presidency.
00:12:22.000Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden are essentially tied among 18 to 29 year olds and Hispanic voters, even though each group gave Biden more than 60% of their vote in 2020.
00:12:32.000Trump also wins more than 20% of black voters.
00:12:44.000The reason that Joe Biden is falling apart is because he is losing the moderate middle.
00:12:50.000According to the New York Times, quote, Mr. Biden's losses are concentrated among moderate and conservative Democratic-leaning voters who think the system needs a major change or to be torn down altogether.
00:13:00.000Mr. Trump wins just 2% of Biden's very liberal 2020 voters who think the system at least need major changes, compared with 16% of those who are moderate or conservative.
00:13:11.000He's aiming at the 13% of voters who voted for him last time and are planning on voting for him this time.
00:13:18.000Out of 100%, there are 87% of Biden's voters who don't care about Gaza, who are shifting over to Trump.
00:13:26.000And then there are 13% who say they voted for Biden last time and that they say that the war in Gaza is important.
00:13:33.000But just 17% of those voters reported sympathizing with Israel over the Palestinians.
00:13:39.000So in other words, he's aiming at a fraction of a fraction of his voting base to try and jog him over the line here, and it's not going to work.
00:13:47.000It turns out that the normies don't like Hamas, and they don't like Joe Biden's focus on trying to draw a distinction between Israel and Hamas.
00:13:56.000Now, this polling data does show, for example, that the Democratic Party disproportionately likes the Palestinians.
00:14:04.000And when you look, for example, Here's the question.
00:14:08.000In a dispute between Israel and the Palestinians, which sides do you sympathize with more, Israel or the Palestinians?
00:14:14.000In the 2024 vote, for Republicans, 65 to 8.
00:14:27.000I mean, that is crazy talk, considering the Palestinian population overtly supports terrorism in October 7th by every available polling metric.
00:14:33.000But they've been told a lot of lies by the media.
00:14:34.000Whatever it is, that is a low priority issue for the vast majority of Democrats, including Democrats who are leaving Joe Biden behind.
00:14:42.000It is 13% of voters who are leaving Joe Biden behind.
00:14:46.000Who care deeply about Gaza, and that is the portion that Joe Biden is focusing on, which is nutso.
00:14:51.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:14:52.000First, burgers are one of the most popular foods in America.
00:14:57.000Well, make this summer one to remember with good ranchers, because now that you're thinking about hamburgers, you should, like, go take care of the beef.
00:15:03.000Right now, my listeners will get free Wagyu burgers for a year.
00:15:07.000My producer Zach's mouth is watering right now just by me talking about all of this.
00:15:12.000Simply go to GoodRanchers.com and subscribe to any of their custom curated boxes filled with 100% American beef, chicken, pork, or wild-caught seafood.
00:15:20.000Use code SHAPIRO at checkout to claim your free American Wagyu burgers for a year.
00:15:24.000And in case you needed any other reason to support Good Ranchers, they support the paralyzed veterans of America.
00:15:29.000Every order you make saves American farms and directly supports American vets.
00:15:53.000This is what Mark Penn writes over at the New York Times today.
00:15:55.000He points out that Joe Biden is aiming at the wrong percentage of the electorate.
00:16:02.000He says, scared candidates are, in my experience, easily sold the idea that the Democratic base or Republican base is going to stay home in November unless they're constantly fed what they want to hear.
00:16:12.000One call from the head of a religious group, a civil rights group, a labor group, and others, and fear runs through the campaign.
00:16:17.000A New York Times article this winter about black pastors warning the Biden White House that his Gaza war policy could imperil reelection is a good example.
00:16:24.000Maybe if Biden were running against a well-liked centrist opponent, concern could be justified.
00:16:27.000But during a fall election against Trump, the final month of this campaign is going to see a frenzy of get-out-the-vote efforts.
00:16:32.000I doubt the Democratic base is going to sit idly by at the thought of Trump cruising up to Pennsylvania Avenue.
00:16:38.000He says that it's insane for Joe Biden to be aiming at the Gaza contingent.
00:16:44.000He says, Mr. Biden's campaign has fundamentally miscalculated on Israel.
00:16:47.000Nikki Haley voters are strong defense voters who would back ally Israel unreservedly, and I believe want to see a president who would be putting maximum pressure on Hamas to release hostages.
00:16:56.000By pandering to base voters with no choice, Biden is pushing the Haley vote to Trump.
00:17:00.000And so his first instincts on Israel were both good policy and good politics.
00:17:04.00084% of independents support Israel more than Hamas in the conflict.
00:17:07.00063% believe a ceasefire should only occur after hostages have been released.
00:17:11.000The more Biden has pandered to the left by softening his support of Israel, the weaker he looks, the more his foreign policy ratings have declined.
00:17:18.000Rather than pull decisively away from Israel, Biden should instead find a plan that enables Israel to go into Rafah and has enough precautions for Rafah's civilians so the American president can back it.
00:17:27.000He says that his energy policies are geared toward the left.
00:17:39.000The assessment of the job he has done is in the negatives.
00:17:41.000While he won't get any younger, he could still move more to the center, hoover up swing voters who desperately want to reject Trump, and strengthen his image as a leader by destroying Hamas and rally his base at the end.
00:17:50.000But that first means pushing back against the base rather than pandering to it.
00:17:54.000James Carville is saying the same thing.
00:17:56.000He says, you know, Democrats are whistling past the graveyard and pretending that the appeal to the radicals as opposed to the normies is magically going to save Joe Biden.
00:18:38.000Because Joe Biden is not appealing to anyone even remotely near the center of the political spectrum.
00:18:42.000Independents are turning away from him en masse.
00:18:45.000I can't tell you, on the Israel issue, how many Jewish liberals I've talked to over the course of the last week since Joe Biden made his major reversal on Israel who have said, even if they can't bring themselves to vote for Donald Trump, they'll vote for RFK.
00:19:11.000And the Gaza situation is just the latest indicator of that.
00:19:14.000Joe Biden is held captive by his own base.
00:19:16.000And by the way, lying to the American people.
00:19:18.000So we heard from the Biden administration that only very recently did they decide that they were basically going to hamstring Israel in their attempts to finish the war in the Gaza Strip, which again, is pragmatically idiotic.
00:19:29.000It's really stupid because it means that this war is going to continue to be at the top of the headlines all the way through the Democratic Convention, which is precisely what he wishes to avoid since he wants to appease his left-wing base.
00:19:40.000There are two ways to appease the left-wing base.
00:19:42.000One way is to continue to undermine Israel and hope that these people will come around, which they won't.
00:19:48.000The second is to let Israel finish the job and then turn around and appease the left-wing base with something else, which is a lot easier.
00:19:55.000But Biden, because he's a fool and because the people around him are committed ideologically to the idea that an Israeli victory is bad for the Middle East for some reason.
00:20:05.000Because of that, Joe Biden is doing the wrong things politically.
00:20:07.000And in fact, the Biden administration over the weekend, a couple of pieces of news that are just absolutely shocking in terms of Joe Biden's cave to Hamas.
00:20:15.000Piece number one, Joe Biden was rethinking his support for Israel by February.
00:20:22.000According to the New York Times, President Biden laid it out for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel long before the public knew.
00:20:27.000In a conversation bristling with tension on February 11th, the President warned the Prime Minister against a major assault on the Gaza City of Rafah and suggested that continued U.S.
00:20:35.000support would depend on how Israel proceeded.
00:20:39.000For the first time, the President, who had so strongly backed Israel's war against Hamas, was essentially threatening to change course.
00:20:44.000The White House, however, kept the threat secret, making no mention of it in the official statement it released about the call.
00:20:50.000Six days later, on February 17th, Mr. Biden heard from Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
00:20:54.000The president's chief diplomat was calling from his blue and white government plane as he was heading home from a security conference in Munich.
00:21:00.000During the president's warning, despite the president's warning, Blinken reported the momentum for an invasion of Rafah was building.
00:21:05.000It could result in a humanitarian catastrophe, he peered.
00:21:14.000Because in February, there was widespread support for Israel finishing the war.
00:21:17.000So Biden slow played it, and behind the scenes, he threatened Israel.
00:21:20.000Which, by the way, plays exactly into the hands of Hamas.
00:21:24.000The New York Times, same day, says that Yahya Sinwar, what is his plan here?
00:21:29.000This is a direct quote from the New York Times.
00:21:31.000What is the leader of Hamas' plan in this war, where he started a war with a militarily superior power who's wiped out probably half his troop strength?
00:21:40.000intelligence officers say, Sinwar's strategy is to keep the war going for as long as it takes to shred Israel's international reputation and to damage its relationship with its primary ally, the United States.
00:21:51.000As Israel faced intense pressure to avoid launching an operation in Rafah, Hamas fired rockets last Sunday from Rafah toward a nearby border crossing, killing four Israeli soldiers.
00:22:01.000So in other words, the basic idea here is that Hamas is counting on Joe Biden and the international left, the army of losers, to save it.
00:22:11.000It wants to maintain the war for as long as possible.

00:23:04.000To learn more about their treatment options and their company insurance programs visit Envita.com or visit EnvitaHealth.com How much is Joe Biden caving in to this?
00:23:27.000Apparently, the United States, Joe Biden, is threatening Israel on the one hand with a stick, which is that if they go into Rafah and finish off the four battalions of Hamas fighters who are in the city, that America will cut off certain supply of bombs.
00:23:41.000On the other hand, they're offering a carrot.
00:23:43.000What's the carrot that the Biden administration is offering the Israeli government?
00:23:45.000There's a report from the Washington Post, quote, the Biden administration has reportedly offered
00:23:49.000to give Israel sensitive intelligence on the whereabouts of senior Hamas leaders
00:23:53.000if it agrees to hold off on a long promised major military operation
00:23:59.000The Washington Post quoted four unnamed sources as saying the United States, quote,
00:24:02.000is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence
00:24:07.000to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group's hidden tunnels.
00:24:12.000you Do you understand how insane that is?
00:24:16.000Let me explain in very short words for members of the Biden administration.
00:24:21.000What they are saying right there is that they know where Hamas's leaders are, presumably including Sinwar, and they have been holding that back from Israel.
00:24:33.000They have apparently intelligence on where Hamas's leadership is, and they are not telling Israel.
00:24:38.000But if Israel does not go into Rafah and does not finish off Hamas in Rafah, then maybe they'll give them intelligence on where the leader of the October 7th massacre is.
00:24:48.000Which makes the United States and the Biden administration an ally of Hamas.
00:26:52.000So, the State Department put out a report on whether Israel is obeying international law obligations.
00:26:59.000Now, I should point out at this point that Israel's ratio of terrorists killed to civilians killed in urban warfare here is the best ratio in the history of urban warfare.
00:27:07.000In its history of all urban warfare anywhere on Earth.
00:27:11.000In fact, the United Nations very quietly over the weekend, the most icily of foreign policy, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, as I've said, according to the Jerusalem Post, the United States seemingly halved the estimated number of women and children killed in Gaza, according to data published May 6th and 8th.
00:27:31.000The UN published the number of fatalities reported by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.
00:27:35.000The government media office in Gaza and Israeli authorities provided a disclaimer below the data.
00:27:39.000On May 6th, the UN published data showing 34,735 people had reportedly been killed in Gaza, including over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children.
00:27:43.000reportedly been killed in Gaza, including over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children.
00:27:48.000On May 8th, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed,
00:27:54.000including 4,959 women and 707 children.
00:27:58.000So in other words, they cut the number of supposed innocents by half, by literally half,

00:29:34.000Their report is that Israel did not violate international law, but it's reasonable to think they might have, which is like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I understand that you're trying to provide cover to the Biden administration's disgusting foreign policy objective of undermining Israel's safety and security in the name of the army of losers.
00:29:51.000I understand that's what you're trying to do, but that's not what you were asked.
00:29:54.000The question is, do you have evidence that Israel violated international law?
00:29:58.000The answer to that question, according to the State Department, is no.
00:30:02.000It's reasonable to assess that perhaps they might have, under certain circumstances, This is the New York Times.
00:30:08.000The Biden administration believes that Israel has most likely violated international standards in failing to protect civilians in Gaza, but has not found specific instances that would justify the withholding of military aid.
00:30:19.000The State Department said in a written report, Israel, quote, has the knowledge, experience and tools to implement best practices for mitigating civilian harm in its military operations.
00:30:26.000But it added that, quote, the results on the ground, including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions.
00:30:33.000Even so, the report, which seemed at odds with itself in places, said the United States had no hard proof of Israeli violations.
00:30:40.000So, the report, which is mandated by President Biden, makes a distinction between the possibility that Israel has violated the law and any conclusions about specific incidents that would prove it.
00:30:50.000So in other words, they have no specific evidence at all that Israel violated international law, but, but maybe they did.
00:30:59.000Which is the State Department weaseling its way into withdrawing aid for Israel on the basis of literally no evidence as they freely admit.
00:31:05.000You want to talk about a set of perverse incentives for Hamas?
00:31:10.000So, the United States is currently acting as sword and shield for Hamas, protecting Hamas' leadership from Israel, offering that maybe in exchange for Israel not going into Rafah, and simultaneously undermining Israel's international credibility by saying that even though they have no evidence of international law violations, maybe, maybe they violated international law.
00:31:29.000Well, I have no evidence that Joe Biden murders puppies.
00:31:33.000But maybe it's reasonable to assume that under certain circumstances he might have murdered a puppy.
00:31:42.000If you have evidence, present your evidence.
00:31:45.000And when you say that the number of civilian casualties is such as to suggest that they probably, or likely, or maybe violated international law, that in and of itself is a lie.
00:31:53.000The United States has never fought a war in an urban environment with as low a ratio between terrorist deaths and civilian deaths as Israel is currently fighting.
00:32:02.000And yet the State Department, because again, they are oriented toward an outcome, and that outcome is backing Joe Biden's propaganda efforts on behalf of Hamas, because again, he wants to win that army of losers.
00:32:28.000One, you have to have a clear, credible plan to protect civilians, which we haven't seen.
00:32:34.000Second, we also need to see a plan for what happens after this conflict in Gaza is over.
00:32:39.000And we still haven't seen that, because what are we seeing right now?
00:32:43.000We're seeing parts of Gaza that Israel has cleared of Hamas, where Hamas is coming back, including in the north, including in Khan Yunis.
00:32:53.000As we look at Rafah, they may go in and have some initial success, but potentially at an incredibly high cost to civilians, but one that is not durable, one that's not sustainable.
00:33:05.000And they will be left holding the bag on an enduring insurgency, because a lot of armed Hamas will be left, no matter what they do in Rafah.
00:33:12.000Or, if they leave and get out of Gaza, as we believe they need to do, then you're going to have a vacuum, and a vacuum that's likely to be filled by chaos, by anarchy, and ultimately by Hamas again.
00:33:23.000So, we've been working for many weeks on developing credible plans for security, for governance, for rebuilding.
00:33:31.000We haven't seen that come from Israel.
00:33:32.000We've been working with Arab countries and others on that plan.
00:33:38.000So the last time Israel got out of Gaza, for 20 years, they got October 7th.
00:33:43.000Right now, Hamas is holding Americans, Americans, and the United States Secretary of State is saying that their top goal is getting Israel out of Gaza.
00:33:51.000If Israel stays in and provides counter-insurgency operations, which is what is going to happen here, then, well, you know, that shows it's bad because it shows that there's an insurgency, because if there's an insurgency, you need a counter-insurgency.
00:34:02.000On the other hand, if Israel gets out, there will be a complete vacuum that will be filled by Hamas.
00:35:06.000It'll just be a continuing counterinsurgency operation no matter what.
00:35:09.000We'll get to more Tony Blinken in just one second because I gotta say, the Biden administration, you want to instill non-confidence in Americans, this is the way to do it.
00:35:20.000It's a men's vitamin and supplement brand that isn't just for the gym bros, but for every dude on a journey to be his best, as a husband, as a dad, as a citizen.
00:35:27.000The Emerson Multivitamin may be the finest men's multivitamin on the market.
00:35:31.000The problem is, your modern diet is often deficient in key vitamins and minerals, leaving you weakened and diminished, unable to reach that full potential of the solution.

00:36:00.000The woke left loves to celebrate when it sees dudes fail.
00:36:02.000With so much wokeness causing chaos and uncertainty, it's crucial you take charge of your mind and body.
00:36:06.000It starts with the Emerson Multivitamin, a simple daily discipline to make the most of yourself, live up to your responsibilities, and exceed the expectations of others.
00:36:32.000Now again, our Secretary of State has been deployed on national television to undermine Israel in the middle of a war with a terrorist group holding American hostages.
00:37:00.000Tony Blinken is going to be deployed to undermine the Democratic ally while standing for the terrorist group.
00:37:06.000Here is Tony Blinken suggesting that Israel is engaged in certain acts which may be inconsistent with international law.
00:37:11.000He has no actual evidence of this, but he's going to say it anyway.
00:37:15.000I think the report makes clear that while Israel has processes, procedures, rules, regulations to try to minimize civilian harm, given the impact that this operation, this war in Gaza has had on the civilian population.
00:37:30.000And yet you're still surging weapons sales.
00:37:32.000Those have not been applied consistently and effectively.
00:37:36.000There's a gap between the stated intent and some of the results we've seen.
00:37:40.000But because it's so complicated, In the midst of a war, and particularly in the midst of a war where you have an enemy that hides in civilian infrastructure, hides behind civilians, to make final determinations on these individual incidents.
00:37:54.000We're looking at the totality of what's happened.
00:37:56.000We think it's reasonable to assess, based on what's happened, that there have been acts that have been inconsistent with Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law, but we haven't drawn definitive conclusions.
00:38:06.000We need to pursue these investigations, just as Israel is doing itself.
00:38:10.000Okay, literally the reason he is doing this is to provide cover for Hamas.
00:38:41.000Because the left-wing base will never let him do it.
00:38:44.000If Israel pulled out of Gaza tomorrow and said, guys, have at it, all of you, we're just going to come in every so often, kill some terrorists in Khan Yunus.
00:38:51.000Well, for the rest of it, you're, you're ballgame.
00:38:56.000You can't get weapons in, you can't get weapons out, but it's all your problem.
00:38:59.000Do you think the Biden administration would be okay with that?
00:39:01.000The answer, of course, is no, because nothing that Israel does is sufficient for the left-wing base that is screaming at the Biden administration and to which Biden has decided to make himself subject, which is insane.
00:40:03.000So Chris Murphy also spent the weekend on the TVs.
00:40:06.000And Senator Murphy from Connecticut, he said that while he supports Biden's decision to withhold military aid, he was then asked, OK, so what would you do differently?
00:40:13.000If you were Israel, what would you do differently?
00:40:15.000He has no answers because there are no answers.
00:40:17.000Hamas is literally hiding in tunnels beneath the civilian population.
00:40:20.000And Israel has now sacrificed nearly 300 Israeli soldiers If you were president, or if you were completely directing the war, even in Israel, how would you eliminate Hamas in a way that's different and more effective than what you're describing?
00:40:31.000here because there is no answer. It's not about practical policy, it's about politics. That's all.
00:40:36.000If you were president or if you were completely directing the war, even in Israel, how would you eliminate Hamas in a
00:40:45.000way that's different and more effective than what you're describing? Because the understatement of the year is it
00:41:15.000That is something that, well listen, I think every intelligence expert has already come to the conclusion you are not going to be able to eliminate Hamas, right?
00:41:25.000There is going to continue to be a resistance movement to the state of Israel and the question is, is it going to be weaker or stronger after 13 to 15,000 kids are killed inside Gaza.
00:41:37.000My argument is that right now the prospects are that it is going to be stronger.
00:41:41.000Okay, so the answer is he literally has no answer.
00:41:44.000His answer as far as extirpating Hamas is don't.
00:41:48.000And bring in the Palestinian Authority, who is literally in alliance with Hamas in its desire to destroy the state of Israel.
00:41:53.000They hate each other, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.
00:41:56.000They teach their kids the exact same thing, which is the destruction of the state of Israel.
00:42:00.000The Palestinian Authority somehow becoming a legitimate peace partner while being led by a Holocaust denier and being founded by Yasser Arafat is totally insane.
00:42:07.000But that is the answer for the Democrats, because again, it's not about principle at all, at all, at all.
00:42:13.000As Representative Michael McCaul of Texas was saying over the weekend, the Republican side of the aisle, he says, basically, the Biden administration's position is that during World War II, the allies should get right up to the edges of Berlin and then stop.
00:42:24.000Here's what I object to, Martha, is to say, just point blank, that we are not going to
00:42:29.000give weapons to Israel if they invade Rafa.
00:42:33.000Now, of course, you want the conditions with humanitarian to be in place.
00:42:36.000Of course, you want the tents in place.
00:42:39.000But to say you cannot invade Rafa, we're telling the Israelis, dictating their military strategy.
00:42:45.000This is the last point, the last step in the completion of their military objective.
00:42:52.000And for us to step in and say, no, you can't go into Rafa and finish the job, I think it's
00:42:59.000It's also very similar for us to say in World War II, hey, like my dad's generation, you can invade all the way up to Berlin, but you can't go into Berlin.
00:43:24.000Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew insisted on Sunday evening that quote, fundamentally nothing has changed in the basic relationship between Israel and the United States.
00:43:32.000He said it's only about one set of munitions that's been held back.
00:43:35.000He said everything else keeps flowing.
00:43:37.000He said the two sides need to keep talking through issues relating to the use of large diameter bombs.
00:43:41.000But I think it's a mistake to think anything has fundamentally changed.
00:43:44.000Even Jake Sullivan, the architect of this garbage policy, the national security advisor, he tried to walk back this whole thing over the weekend.
00:43:52.000First, because there's a million people there in very close quarters who've been pushed there because of the military operations in other parts of Gaza, you would have really significant civilian casualties.
00:44:04.000And while Israel would also be able to kill some Hamas folks, many Hamas folks would melt away because they're terrorists.
00:44:11.000They're not really organized fighters in the way that we think about a typical military.
00:44:15.000In that context, He doesn't want to see American weapons used in that kind of operation.
00:44:20.000That's not to say that he is going to abandon Israel or cut them off from weapons.
00:44:24.000He was focused on a particular operation that he doesn't believe will succeed in defeating Hamas and that will cause grievous harm.
00:44:31.000Okay, so now he's trying to minimize it to it's just about Rafa.
00:44:33.000It's not about a broader arms conflict.
00:44:35.000It's not about a broader problem with Israel's government after he literally deployed the Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, to call for the ouster of Israel's current government.
00:44:45.000Yeah, good luck with this particular cell.
00:44:47.000Meanwhile, Donald Trump, absolute moral clarity on this.
00:44:49.000Here he was over the weekend in front of a hundred thousand people over the weekend.
00:44:54.000Here he was talking about Israel's right to win.
00:44:58.000This week he announced that he will withhold shipping weapons to Israel as they fight to eradicate Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
00:45:45.000Vance, senator from Ohio, who's widely considered to be one of the more isolationist senators, here's what he had to say over the weekend about letting Israel finish the job.
00:45:54.000The final point here, Dana, is very important.
00:45:56.000Our goal in the Middle East should be to allow the Israelis to get to some good place with the Saudi Arabians and other Gulf Arab states.
00:46:05.000There is no way that we can do that unless the Israelis finish the job with Hamas.
00:46:10.000If they can't even do that, the attitude in the Middle East will be, you can't trust these guys.
00:46:15.000They're not pursuing their own national security.
00:46:18.000So we've got to let them finish this job.
00:46:20.000And I think, hopefully, on the other end of it, get to a new era in the Middle East.
00:46:25.000And it is that sort of clarity on the Republican side of the aisle and that sort of lack of clarity on the Democratic side of the aisle which is why Joe Biden is losing.
00:46:51.000It's not going to do a damned thing because no one cares about this stupid case in the first place.
00:46:55.000This idea that Donald Trump had a payoff to a star and that this is supposed to somehow land him in Jail after not being prosecuted federally is absurd on its face.
00:47:05.000But according to the Associated Press, the star prosecution witness in Donald Trump's hush money trial is set to take the stand Monday with testimony that could help shape the outcome of the first criminal case against an American president.
00:47:14.000Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and personal fixer, is by far the Manhattan District Attorney's most important witness in the case.
00:47:54.000Even Fareed Zachariah, over on CNN, who certainly is not a friend of Donald Trump, was like, yeah, this is ridiculous.
00:48:03.000Meanwhile, Republicans seem to be uniting behind Trump.
00:48:06.000Whatever opposition he faced in the primaries has largely melted away.
00:48:11.000And the trials against him keep him in the spotlight, infuriate his base, who sees him as a martyr, and even may serve to make him the object of some sympathy among people in general who believe that his prosecutors are politically motivated.
00:48:27.000This happens to be true, in my opinion.
00:48:29.000I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.
00:48:35.000By the way, I should mention here one of Trump's single greatest tweets.
00:48:38.000I mean, Trump has a history of wonderful tweets.
00:48:40.000His single greatest tweet was about Michael Cohen and it went like this, quote,
00:48:43.000if anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don't
00:48:46.000retain the services of Michael Cohen, who's today's witness.
00:48:50.000So, yeah, again, this idea that Donald Trump is going to be brought low by Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, that was a resistance fantasy when Trump was president, let alone in his post-presidency.
00:49:00.000Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been sort of giving some hints about who he might pick for VP.
00:49:05.000That is largely because Nikki Haley ran a very strong and anti-Trump campaign against Trump during the primaries.
00:49:12.000He says he wishes her well because, of course, she's now lost, so there's no reason for him to continue to stomp on her.
00:49:19.000But he said Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the VP slot.
00:49:24.000So Donald Trump right now, you know, top of the list is probably somebody like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, that's probably the top of the list.
00:49:40.000Her chances are not looking good in the aftermath of killing a puppy.
00:49:44.000As it turns out, that is not a strong electoral strategy.
00:49:47.000But as long as Trump picks somebody reasonable for a VP, it's going to strengthen his ticket.
00:49:51.000All he has to do is pick somebody even half reasonable for a VP, and he's running against Joe Biden and the least likable vice presidential candidate in human history, Kamala Harris.
00:50:01.000So it'll be fascinating to see who he picks.
00:50:02.000Again, Donald Trump is running a much more coherent and cohesive campaign this time around.
00:50:06.000Oddly enough, helped by the fact that he has to spend all this time in court.
00:50:09.000It means he can only do one of these big events a weekend.
00:50:12.000It means that he's not spending all of his time on Twitter.
00:50:14.000The Twitter ban has helped him remarkably.
00:50:16.000The fact that he is on Truth Social and not on Twitter means that whenever he feels like voiding his bowels on the internet, that he does so on a site that very few people actually look at, as opposed to Twitter, where every new Trump tweet set the world ablaze.
00:50:31.000Trump is in a very handy position right now in the election.
00:50:34.000The election is clearly about Joe Biden and not about Donald Trump.
00:50:36.000And if that's the case, Donald Trump is going to win.
