00:00:00.000 If Republicans lose the House and the Senate, what is coming?
00:00:03.000 Well, if you thought woke one was crazy, wait until you see woke two.
00:00:05.000 Gavin Newsom, who wants to run for president, is now signing a bill requiring companies to search their records for ties to slavery and then publish their findings.
00:00:13.000 Because again, the idea is going to be that if you're a company that 200 years ago, 175 years ago, engaged in slavery, then we're going to pretend that your profits today are a result of that slavery.
00:00:26.000 I have a bill in front of me, privileged to have this opportunity, a bill in front of me that I'm signing quite literally right now.
00:00:35.000 This is a bill that requires large companies that operated before 1965 to search their records for ties to slavery, going back to 1849.
00:00:47.000 This is crazy.
00:00:48.000 Again, this is the kind of stuff they're bringing.
00:00:50.000 If you think that woke went into remission, you are totally wrong.
00:00:53.000 It is there, it is waiting to burst free.
00:00:55.000 Meanwhile, Letitia James, it's this kind of woke.
00:00:58.000 Kathy Hochel, who is the governor of New York, has now appointed Letitia James, the attorney general of the state, to go after the so called Cornell 7.
00:01:07.000 We've been discussing this case because, again, The evidence shows no rape took place.
00:01:11.000 The evidence shows a bunch of people engaged in disgusting, gross behavior.
00:01:14.000 It does not show that a rape took place.
00:01:16.000 Letitia James, however, on September 28th, right before she was appointed, said, quote, what this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable.
00:01:24.000 I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers to her and all survivors.
00:01:26.000 You're not alone.
00:01:27.000 We stand with you.
00:01:28.000 Do you expect that she's going to do a thorough investigation or is she just going to railroad somebody? 0.88
00:01:31.000 Meanwhile, Kathy Hochul supports closing the so-called voluntary intoxication loophole, quote, choosing to have a drink is not consent and it's never a license for sexual assault.
00:01:40.000 New York law should reflect that.
00:01:42.000 I support closing the voluntary intoxication loophole and will work with the legislator to get it done.
00:01:45.000 There is no such thing as a voluntary intoxication loophole.
00:01:49.000 That is not what the law says.
00:01:50.000 What the law says is that you cannot be immediately prosecuted if you have sex with a drunk person who consents.
00:01:56.000 That's what it says.
00:01:57.000 So if you have two drinks and you consent to sex and then later you regret it and call it rape, you can't automatically just prosecute that guy because you're drunk.
00:02:03.000 Again, the left is not going to go into some sort of retreat.
00:02:07.000 They're going to go harder than they ever have if they win this election.
00:02:10.000 You thought the trans radicalism has gone wrong. 0.99
00:02:12.000 It will be back.
00:02:12.000 Elliott Page will be the hero of the moment once again.
00:02:15.000 Here's Elliott Page.
00:02:16.000 Again, pushing the idea that we must trans the children.
00:02:19.000 Since returning to office, the Trump administration has waged a coordinated assault on health care.
00:02:26.000 He's already gutted Medicaid, and 7.5 million people are projected to lose coverage.
00:02:31.000 While these cuts have hit so many, trans youth and their families have been at the center of them.
00:02:37.000 For decades, hospitals like NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and New York Presbyterian provided care for trans youth.
00:02:45.000 But earlier this year, they abruptly cut it.
00:02:49.000 Despite statewide protections and express support for this care from officials like New York Attorney General Tish James and New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani, these institutions cave to threats from Trump's Department of Justice.
00:03:03.000 It's all coming back here.
00:03:06.000 All of it.
00:03:07.000 All of the insanity, all of the wokeness, it is all coming back.
00:03:11.000 Again, the fundamental belief systems of the left are all in place.
00:03:13.000 I mean, here's Sharon Stone with Michelle Obama talking about how the real reason that men oppose abortion, if they do, is because they're not the ones who have to bear children.
00:03:24.000 What kind of arcane bull is this?
00:03:28.000 If men would be pregnant, you could get an abortion from a vending machine. 0.79
00:03:37.000 There would be the Birth Olympics, you know? 0.82
00:03:41.000 Men would film themselves going into labor and honoring their pain.
00:03:46.000 And, you know, there would be trophies given, you know?
00:03:49.000 Well done, dude. 1.00
00:03:51.000 Okay, first of all, women actually do that. 1.00
00:03:53.000 That's the thing that women currently do. 0.98
00:03:55.000 I'll say, I didn't take the epidural. 1.00
00:03:56.000 Look at me.
00:03:57.000 Okay.
00:03:57.000 But beyond that, again, the insanity of the left is not going to be put to the side by them winning.
00:04:03.000 This is why the demoralization efforts actually matter.
00:04:05.000 Republicans, don't give up.
00:04:07.000 Get out and vote.
00:04:07.000 Vote by mail.
00:04:08.000 Yes, okay.
00:04:09.000 I know, I know there are so many of you who think that if you vote by mail, it will be counted.
00:04:12.000 If you vote right now, vote by mail.
00:04:13.000 Just vote.
00:04:13.000 Okay.
00:04:14.000 Just go out and vote.
00:04:15.000 Okay.
00:04:15.000 Because the consequences on the other side are really, really, really ugly.
00:04:19.000 Like, for example, a civilization that simply caves to terrorism.
00:04:23.000 We have new updates, by the way, on that fly Dubai flight that miraculously.
00:04:27.000 Was not hijacked after the intervention of Israeli passengers and the Fly Dubai pilot.
00:04:36.000 That Fly Dubai pilot is a hero.
00:04:37.000 His name is Smit Machar. 0.95
00:04:39.000 And he explained to India's Prime Minister Modi how he opened the door to allow the Israeli passengers to get in and remove the co pilot, who is a radical Muslim who is essentially hacking him to death with an axe.
00:04:53.000 At that moment, I was fighting for my life.
00:04:55.000 But there was a moment when I realized I had fallen down due to my injuries.
00:05:00.000 And I realized that if I don't get up, I've been a pilot for 17 years.
00:05:04.000 I've been a captain for the past 11 years.
00:05:06.000 I know what's happening in a flight, even with my eyes closed.
00:05:10.000 When I was on the ground, I realized that the aircraft is going down.
00:05:13.000 And I told myself, this is the last push, Smith.
00:05:17.000 The door is right there.
00:05:18.000 And I was still getting hit, but I opened the door.
00:05:21.000 And everyone else who helped was just as incremental to this effort.
00:05:24.000 Okay, so, um, again, incredible heroism on his part.
00:05:29.000 New details are now emerging about the co pilot, the terrorist.
00:05:32.000 Quote.
00:05:33.000 This is the Wall Street Journal.
00:05:34.000 The Fly Dubai co pilot, who stabbed his captain and sent flight 1073 diving toward the ground, had previously been banned from flying by Oman over concerns he had adopted at radical ideological views.
00:05:44.000 People familiar with the matter said, This is Oman trying to prevent responsibility here.
00:05:47.000 Despite the ban, the pilot was hired by Fly Dubai, the people said, allowing him to fly on the sensitive route connecting the UAE and Israel.
00:05:53.000 The alleged attacker is an Omani national named Tamam al Hamami, said other people briefed on the investigation.
00:05:59.000 The UAE is leading the investigation.
00:06:02.000 A UAE spokesperson declined to comment on the attacker's history.
00:06:05.000 In Oman.
00:06:06.000 Meanwhile, CNN reviewed Al Hamami's social media posts and found, surprise, surprise, a bunch of terrorist images.
00:06:13.000 Apparently, a LinkedIn profile bearing the name Hamam Al Hamami said he worked at Oman Air for seven years, leaving in February 2025 before joining the Moroccan airline Royal Air Maroc in June 2025 and departing in January 2026.
00:06:28.000 Air Maroc said that the suspect trained with the airline for three months in 2025 as part of the pre employment process, but he was not, in fact, selected.
00:06:37.000 Only two posts had been made to his LinkedIn profile.
00:06:40.000 Both were published in quick succession on Wednesday, about nine hours after the incident, so unclear who published the post.
00:06:44.000 One clip, which CNN geolocated to Dubai International Airport, the person filming zooms in on a plane that belongs to Elal.
00:06:52.000 In the video, the cockpit screen showed the flight number OMA 624 and the date, October 11th, 2023.
00:06:59.000 The flight number corresponds to a flight that typically travels from Dubai to Muscat, and the date matches the period of time he worked at Oman Air.
00:07:06.000 The video has a bunch of clips of El Al, as well as one from Arqiya, another Israeli airline.
00:07:11.000 And the video ends with a photo of Ayman al Zarhiri, the Al Qaeda leader after Osama bin Laden, and also a photo of Humam Khalil Abu Malal Abulawi, who killed nine people, including seven American CIA officers and contractors, in a 2009 suicide bombing in Afghanistan.
00:07:25.000 And then there was a second post.
00:07:26.000 It featured an AI generated image depicting Islam's holiest sites, Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem, linked by a continuous glowing trail.
00:07:35.000 By the way, Al Hamami's LinkedIn page said he studied at Buckingham New University in England.
00:07:40.000 Great. 0.98
00:07:41.000 Again, importing all of these problems into the West. 1.00
00:07:43.000 It's been great. 0.99
00:07:44.000 We'll get to more on that in a moment.
00:07:45.000 You need better wireless coverage at the best possible price.
00:07:48.000 More than 120,000 wireless customers participated in a recent industry survey.
00:07:53.000 PureTalk was the only wireless company in the country turned five out of five stars in every single category.
00:07:58.000 Coverage, support, value, data, unlimited high speed data with PureTalk is just $34.99 a month.
00:08:02.000 Those numbers are great.
00:08:04.000 I know because I use PureTalk myself.
00:08:05.000 I make calls, I send the text, the videos, the whole thing, unlimited data.
00:08:08.000 I can tell you firsthand the coverage is awesome right now.
00:08:10.000 You can also save 50% off your first month when you switch.
00:08:13.000 So 50% off, $34.99 a month for the unlimited plan with five star quality and experience.
00:08:19.000 What do you have to lose except for the high prices?
00:08:22.000 Go to puritalk.comslash Shapiro.
00:08:24.000 Stop overpaying for subpar wireless service.
00:08:26.000 Stop buying the nonsense that you have to walk into some sort of wireless store and they'll offer you a smorgasbord of options, then you just get the most expensive one.
00:08:33.000 Don't do that.

00:08:43.000 puretalk.comslash Shapiro.
00:08:45.000 Welcome to puretalk.
00:08:46.000 The story is even crazier than that.
00:08:48.000 Apparently, according to some of the Israeli passengers, some of the crew of the hijacked plane actually clashed with the Israeli passengers.
00:08:55.000 So the Israeli passengers went up.
00:08:57.000 They yanked the terrorist co pilot out of the seat. 0.99
00:08:59.000 They put the new pilots in place.
00:09:01.000 And apparently, members of the crew were trying to prevent them from restraining the terrorist co pilot.
00:09:07.000 Two men who helped secure the terrorist suspects said the crew of the hijacked fly-to-by plane, according to the New York Post, shockingly clashed with heroic Israeli passengers who subdued the axe-wielding co pilot after he attacked the pilot.
00:09:18.000 They were asking us to untie the terrorist.
00:09:19.000 We had no idea why, said banking executive Svika Mainz, one of the three civilians who took down the would-be hijacker.
00:09:26.000 After the three Israelis subdued the pilot and restrained him, Down with his hands tied behind his back, first with zip ties and then using headphone wires that Schlichter gathered from passengers.
00:09:35.000 Apparently, Hayoun, who is one of the plumbers, Yaniv Hayoun, he heard the terrorists cry, kill me, kill me, apparently because he failed in his jihadist mission.
00:09:44.000 Some crew members began demanding that he be freed.
00:09:47.000 So the Israelis said, no, you guys go sit down.
00:09:50.000 We are now in control.
00:09:51.000 This is our plane now.
00:09:53.000 No, evidence that these crew members were actively associated with the terrorists.
00:09:59.000 Maybe they were misinterpreting what was happening, but yeah, that was not happening.
00:10:02.000 Now, again, if you think this sort of thing isn't a threat, then keep importing terrorists to the West.
00:10:07.000 The Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen, spoke with our friends at the Ruthless Pod and pointed out that some 2,200 terrorists who entered the United States under a false name have been arrested already.
00:10:18.000 Two is underneath President Trump, we've arrested, so far as my numbers walking into here, 2,210 terrorists that's in this country.
00:10:31.000 That was in this country.
00:10:32.000 That's significant.
00:10:33.000 Most of them came over and claimed asylum. 0.98
00:10:36.000 Gave a fake name.
00:10:39.000 Some of them came over.
00:10:40.000 We didn't know they were here.
00:10:41.000 Some we caught, but a lot of them came in and didn't identify them because the Biden administration was just cutting loose.
00:10:46.000 97% of the individuals that they made contact with was released in 27 hours.
00:10:49.000 That was the old on your honor system, right?
00:10:51.000 Yes.
00:10:52.000 We're not checking who you are.
00:10:53.000 We're just assuming.
00:10:53.000 That's why they lost 450,000 kids underneath the Biden administration, too, that we're now trying to locate.
00:10:58.000 Unbelievable.
00:10:58.000 But 2,210 terrorists.
00:11:00.000 Now, these aren't individuals.
00:11:02.000 You guys all know this.
00:11:03.000 There's a difference between a suspected terrorist or a terrorist watch list.
00:11:10.000 These were terrorists.
00:11:12.000 He is right about it.
00:11:13.000 Again, the West can surrender to this sort of stuff.
00:11:16.000 And the first step of that is surrendering to the far left.
00:11:18.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:11:20.000 Wasn't that amazing?
