The Ben Shapiro Show - The Biggest Democrat Lie Of All | Ep. 1594

00:00:00.000 We examine the question of just how far Democrats want to go if they retain power in the midterm elections.

00:00:04.000 Joe Biden campaigns with John Fetterman, and everything that can go wrong does.

00:00:08.000 Plus, the CDC votes unanimously to add COVID vaccines to child immunization schedules.

00:00:13.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:26.000 We'll get to all the news in just one moment.

00:00:27.000 First, with the midterms coming up, you should probably keep in mind that where you spend your money matters because that money may be spent on things that you don't like.

00:00:35.000 So for example, Verizon Wireless customers, you're supporting a company that canceled One America News because they supported Trump.

00:00:40.000 AT&T customers, you're not just supporting a company that supports CNN, they actually own CNN.

00:00:45.000 T-Mobile customers, your CEO openly advised Democrats how to beat Trump in the 2020 election.

00:00:49.000 So why give your money to wireless companies that don't like your values?

00:00:53.000 Instead, give it to PeerTalk.

00:00:54.000 PeerTalk not only believes in conservative American family values, they also give you the best service at a low cost.

00:00:59.000 Unlimited Talk texts plenty of data for just $30 a month.

00:01:01.000 The average family saves almost $1,000 per year.

00:01:29.000 In the spirit of Halloween, I have something scary to tell you about.

00:01:32.000 Meat recalls!

00:01:35.000 Yeah, it turns out that there are a lot of uncertainties with regard to buying store-bought meat.

00:01:38.000 You hear about alerts and recalls pretty much every day.

00:01:41.000 Recently, 44 tons of meat products were recalled from retailers in Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri for listeria.

00:01:47.000 Trade that garbage in, instead, for the best American meat on planet Earth. 0.94

00:01:51.000 Good Ranchers. 0.94

00:01:51.000 Good Ranchers only sources the highest quality meat. 0.94

00:01:53.000 Grass-fed, grain-finished, their steak is aged 21 days, so every bite is tender and delicious.

00:01:58.000 They're better than organic chicken, doesn't have any added hormones or antibiotics, their seafood is caught fresh and then flash-frozen and vacuum-sealed to lock in the quality until you are ready to eat it.

00:02:06.000 Unlike the grocery store, Good Ranchers has never had to do a recall.

00:02:09.000 They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

00:02:11.000 Let me tell you, it was unbelievable.

00:02:11.000 They made me a kosher steak.

00:02:13.000 Right now, Good Ranchers is throwing a huge October feast where you can get up to four pounds of free meat when you go to goodranchers.com slash Ben.

00:02:20.000 Use code Ben and check out.

00:02:21.000 Well, there's a truism when it comes to politics, and that is that you run to your extremes during the primaries, then you run back to the middle during the general elections.

00:02:26.000 That's true for both right and left.

00:02:28.000 That's good ranchers.com slash Ben use code Ben and check out.

00:02:30.000 That's good ranchers.com slash Ben use code Ben and check out to claim your special October feast offer.

00:02:35.000 Well, there's a truism when it comes to politics, and that is that you run to your extremes during the primaries, then you run back to the middle during the general elections.

00:02:42.000 It's true for both, both right and left.

00:02:45.000 But one problem emerges for political parties when it turns out that people don't believe you when you run back to the middle.

00:02:50.000 When you run so far to the extremes that everybody sees through the game of running back to the middle, you start to pay the price politically.

00:02:57.000 And increasingly these days, this is precisely what's been happening with the Democratic Party.

00:03:01.000 See, here is the thing.

00:03:02.000 For a very long time, the Democratic Party has relied on the rebuttal of what they call the slippery slope fallacy.

00:03:07.000 Republicans will say, you guys really want X. You're pushing something else.

00:03:11.000 What you really want is X. But Democrats will then say, no, no, no, no.

00:03:16.000 We don't actually want the endpoint that you're talking about.

00:03:18.000 That's a slippery slope fallacy.

00:03:20.000 If we say that we want civil unions and you say, no, no, no, you want gay marriage.

00:03:23.000 That's not true.

00:03:24.000 All we really want is civil unions. 0.99

00:03:25.000 If you say that what you want is not gay marriage, what you actually want is for my church to perform gay marriages.

00:03:30.000 That's not what we want.

00:03:31.000 We just want the gay marriage. 0.77

00:03:32.000 If you say, You want my church to perform a gay marriage.

00:03:35.000 What you actually want is to indoctrinate my children in your viewpoint.

00:03:38.000 Then you say, no, no, no, no.

00:03:39.000 I don't want to indoctrinate my children in your viewpoint.

00:03:41.000 That's a slippery slope fallacy.

00:03:42.000 But here's the thing about the slippery slope, quote unquote, fallacy.

00:03:46.000 It's a prediction.

00:03:46.000 It's not a fallacy.

00:03:47.000 Slippery slopes are a prediction.

00:03:49.000 And when it turns out that the slippery slope keeps happening over and over and over again, people stop trusting you when you say that you only want to go so far and no further.

00:03:58.000 That's particularly true when the arguments that you make are what we would call in law school arguments that prove too much.

00:04:02.000 When you make an argument that quote unquote proves too much, this is when you establish a principle that doesn't merely justify what you're doing now.

00:04:09.000 It justifies further action in the future.

00:04:11.000 So, for example, let's say that your argument is love is love.

00:04:15.000 All forms of sexual relationship are equally morally beneficial.

00:04:18.000 All of them are good.

00:04:19.000 And I said, well, that would eventually lead to you basically justifying every form of sexual arrangement up to and including pedophilia, right?

00:04:27.000 That argument itself, just that argument, not saying that you're doing it, but the argument itself, that all forms of sexual arrangement are perfectly fine.

00:04:33.000 That is going to justify pretty much everything from incest to pedophilia.

00:04:37.000 And you say, well, that's a slippery slope fallacy.

00:04:39.000 That's not a slippery slope fallacy.

00:04:40.000 The argument that you've established encompasses more things than you wish for it to encompass.

00:04:44.000 And when you refuse to make distinctions in your logic, it makes me believe that your end goal is not actually what you say it is.

00:04:51.000 It is something else.

00:04:52.000 And so there's a graphic that's become quite popular online, and it shows what the supposed slippery slope fallacy looks like in broad terms.

00:05:01.000 This is the slippery slope fallacy graphic that's become very popular on Twitter, and it's about right.

00:05:07.000 Basically, it shows a curve.

00:05:08.000 It's a downward curve, and it's kind of gradually curving down and then boom, it drops off a cliff.

00:05:13.000 And it has a bunch of arrows pointing to the gradually downslope curve saying you're overreacting, you're overreacting, you're overreacting.

00:05:18.000 And then we are here pointing to the bottom of the slippery slope.

00:05:21.000 And this is what keeps happening with Democrats on policy after policy after policy.

00:05:24.000 They keep saying you're overreacting.

00:05:26.000 We would never do that.

00:05:27.000 Not in a million years would we ever advocate for the most extreme formulation of the position that you're suggesting that we hold.

00:05:32.000 And then, inevitably, about five years later, we're at the bottom of that curve.

00:05:36.000 And this is a very big problem for Republicans, because Republicans keep believing this stuff.

00:05:40.000 You have a bunch of civility-oriented Republicans who will say, no, no, no, they don't actually.

00:05:45.000 Let's give them civil unions. 1.00

00:05:46.000 We'll give them gay marriage. 0.97

00:05:46.000 They'll never want the gay marriage. 0.97

00:05:48.000 They're never going to want to force you to do it in church. 0.79

00:05:50.000 OK, so they're trying to force a baker to bake a cake for a gay couple. 0.79

00:05:53.000 But does that really mean that they're going to come after you if you refuse to go along with their morality and how you teach your kids?

00:05:59.000 Well, sure, they're doing that with the schools, but you think they're actually going to come into your home?

00:06:02.000 If you keep going along over and over and over again with the lie that the slippery slope fallacy is in fact a fallacy and not a prediction, then you're going to end up at that bottom of the curve over and over and over again.

00:06:13.000 And this is why I think Democrats are having a particularly tough time these days.

00:06:17.000 They're having a particularly tough time because people can see that we are at the bottom of this curve.

00:06:21.000 People can see that over and over and over again when Democrats assure us that we're just at the top of the curve and that we're overreacting.

00:06:26.000 They don't actually want the things we say that they want.

00:06:28.000 We can see that they're fibbing.

00:06:30.000 And Joe Biden had an opportunity when he came into office to basically overthrow that idea, right?

00:06:35.000 Joe Biden was a figure of the status quo.

00:06:37.000 Joe Biden was a supposed moderate.

00:06:39.000 He was not somebody who's going to go along with the gradual lowering of that curve and then the drop off the cliff.

00:06:44.000 He was going to stand like a rock in the pathway of Democratic attempts to go radical.

00:06:49.000 Joe Biden was not Bernie Sanders.

00:06:51.000 Joe Biden was not Ibram X. Kendi.

00:06:52.000 Joe Biden was just, you know, a typical Democrat, middle-of-the-road Democrat, who was never going to allow American society to slip off that curve and all the way down to the bottom of the cliff, Wile E. Coyote style.

00:07:02.000 Except that Joe Biden did precisely that.

00:07:04.000 And what we see over and over and over again is that Democratic politicians seem patently incapable, really since the end of the Clinton era, to tell their own base no.

00:07:12.000 And to make the case to the American people that they should be believed when they take a moderate policy.

00:07:17.000 Because over and over and over again, Outlying members of the Democratic Party.

00:07:21.000 People who were considered crazy five years ago are now considered central members of the think centers of the Democratic Party.

00:07:27.000 Bernie Sanders was a nut for all of his Senate career. 1.00

00:07:30.000 He was a useless nut from Vermont. 1.00

00:07:32.000 He had somehow been elected because Vermont is a weird state filled with progressive people who live in conservative ways. 0.98

00:07:37.000 A very strange state, Vermont.

00:07:39.000 And so they elect Bernie Sanders in the whitest area of America.

00:07:42.000 They elect Bernie.

00:07:43.000 And Bernie, for 30 years, does nothing in the Senate. 1.00

00:07:45.000 He's a complete useless person. 0.98

00:07:46.000 He's a backbencher who shouts about why there should only be four types of deodorants on the shelves. 1.00

00:07:52.000 And then all of a sudden, he's a thought leader.

00:07:54.000 Because it turns out the Democratic Party, as always, falls off the cliff.

00:07:57.000 Or Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, when she first entered Congress.

00:08:00.000 The idea was, yeah, so fresh, so phased, but kind of extreme, right?

00:08:03.000 I mean, we're not actually going to follow her down the primrose path here.

00:08:06.000 And then she's on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

00:08:09.000 Over and over and over again, the Democratic Party demonstrates that they are willing to fall off that cliff.

00:08:14.000 They are eager to fall off that cliff.

00:08:15.000 They lie to you, they say that they're not, but they are willing and eager to fall off that cliff.

00:08:19.000 You know, there's been a lot of talk about polarization in American politics and what the left will call asymmetric polarization.

00:08:24.000 What they will suggest is that the right-wing Republican Party has moved further right.

00:08:27.000 That is not true.

00:08:28.000 You cannot name a position on which the Republican Party, except for perhaps immigration, has become more right-wing over the course of the last 20 years.

00:08:34.000 That position does not exist.

00:08:37.000 I can name you half a dozen positions where the Democratic Party has moved significantly to the left, ranging from their tax policy, to their policing policy, to abortion.

00:08:37.000 It doesn't exist.

00:08:48.000 To same-sex marriage? 0.70

00:08:49.000 To the transing of the children? 1.00

00:08:51.000 Over and over and over again, Democrats moved significantly to the left.

00:08:55.000 If there has been a polarization in terms of policy positions, you can say that the Republican Party has polarized in terms of its stylistic moves.

00:09:02.000 Donald Trump was stylistically different from Republicans of the past, were much more conciliatory and more civil.

00:09:07.000 And by the way, the reason that Donald Trump was elected was because he was not conciliatory and not civil and because so many Republicans were angry at the conciliatory civil Republican Party that it seemed to go along with the lie that we were going to remain on the top of that slippery slope curve.

00:09:21.000 And but Republican in terms of their positions, their policy positions, they have not moved to the right.

00:09:25.000 If you look at the Republican platform in 2004 and you look at the Republican platform in 2020, they're basically the same.

00:09:31.000 It may be to the left, actually.

00:09:33.000 You now have mainstream members of the Republican Party voting in favor of enshrining same-sex marriage at the federal level after Obergefell.

00:09:40.000 Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has moved wildly to the left.

00:09:43.000 And so here is the problem for the Democrats.

00:09:45.000 No one believes them anymore when they say they are not pursuing utopia.

00:09:48.000 And so all Republicans have to do is point at the bottom of the slope.

00:09:52.000 Now, we're not there yet.

00:09:53.000 And Democrats will continue to argue that we'll never get to the bottom of the slope.

00:09:56.000 But here's the thing.

00:09:57.000 You shouldn't believe them.

00:09:58.000 You shouldn't believe them because they're saying out loud what they want.

00:10:01.000 Take, for example, Beto O'Rourke.

00:10:03.000 Beto over in Texas, right?

00:10:04.000 So the first time he runs for Senate against Ted Cruz, he campaigns as a moderate.

00:10:09.000 He's somewhat of a moderate Democrat running in a very red state, and he loses a close election to Ted Cruz.

00:10:13.000 Then he runs for president, and he says, we're going to take your AR-15s, and we are going to come after your religious institutions to remove their nonprofit status if they don't act in ways that I like with regard to social policy, particularly same-sex marriage.

00:10:26.000 This is all stuff that Beto O'Rourke said, and that was like a two-year gap between when he ran for Senate and lost to Ted Cruz, and when he ran for president.

00:10:32.000 That was maybe a one-and-a-half-year gap.

00:10:35.000 All the quiet parts, he started saying out loud.

00:10:37.000 It was the same thing, by the way, if you go all the way back to, say, 2011.

00:10:40.000 Barack Obama was against same-sex marriage in 2011.

00:10:43.000 By 2013, he was the greatest advocate of same-sex marriage.

00:10:45.000 So, was that because he actually shifted his position, or was it because he was lying in the first place, and he was lying to the American people?

00:10:50.000 The answer is he was lying to the American people.

00:10:52.000 He was always progressive on that issue.

00:10:54.000 He just had to lie to the American people because the American people didn't agree with him.

00:10:57.000 And you see this over and over again.

00:10:58.000 Well, you keep doing this over and over and people aren't going to believe you anymore.

00:11:01.000 So all Republicans have to do is point at what the end of that arc looks like.

00:11:06.000 What does the bottom of that slope look like?

00:11:07.000 Are Americans willing to go there?

00:11:09.000 Because while Democrats keep claiming they'll go this far and no further, we have no evidence to believe that this is the case.

00:11:15.000 Historically speaking, we have no evidence to believe that when given the opportunity, Democrats will not shove us over that cliff every single time.

00:11:22.000 So, for example, as you talked about on the show, there is a Virginia Democrat who has now introduced a bill to prosecute parents who refuse to treat children as members of the opposite sex.

00:11:32.000 According to Yahoo News, Virginia Democratic delegate Elizabeth Guzman is seeking to introduce legislation that would hold parents criminally liable for refusing to treat their children as a different sex from the one they were born into.

00:11:42.000 The legislation, which Guzman plans to introduce in Virginia's upcoming legislative session, would expand the definition of child abuse, so parents could be charged with a felony or misdemeanor for refusing to honor their child's request to be treated as the opposite sex.

00:11:53.000 Guzman said, if the child shares with those mandated reporters what they are going through, we are talking about not only physical abuse or mental abuse, but the job of that mandated reporter is to inform Child Protective Services.

00:12:02.000 Now, I've been warning about this for years, and there's going to come a time when Democrats, if given enough power, would sick Child Protective Services on any parent who refuses to go along with the lie that their boy is a girl.

00:12:12.000 The move came in response to Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's latest policy initiatives, which empowered parents to exercise control over whether and how children transition gender in school.

00:12:20.000 Which, of course, used to be called the status quo.

00:12:22.000 The status quo used to be called, your boy is a boy and your girl is a girl. 0.95

00:12:25.000 Glenn Youngkin took the moderate position that if your boy seeks to be treated as a girl in school, at least you gotta tell the parents.

00:12:32.000 And this is too much for the Democrats.

00:12:33.000 They say that that should now be considered child abuse.

00:12:37.000 Again, if you think the Democrats aren't moving in this direction, I question as to why you would think that.

00:12:43.000 What makes you think that Joe Biden, if freed of all of the burdens of governance, if freed of public opinion, would not do that?

00:12:49.000 He has said that health care requires that we trans the children.

00:12:53.000 Health care requires hormones for nine-year-olds who say they're a member of the opposite sex. 0.98

00:12:59.000 Gender-affirming health care requires that we carve fake vaginas into boys at the age of 16, 17, 18 years old. 0.98

00:13:06.000 This stuff is very important. 0.68

00:13:08.000 So why wouldn't it be considered child abuse if a parent refuses to go along with it?

00:13:12.000 Again, the end point of the slippery slope is there specifically because the principle being established by the Democratic Party encompasses all of that.

00:13:19.000 If you truly believe that it is child abuse to refuse to go along with the delusions of your child with regard to their own gender or sex, delusions promoted by a socially contagious media apparatus that virtues, that creates virtue in not believing that you are a member of your genetic sex.

00:13:37.000 If that's your principle, why wouldn't that extend to the notion that a parent is abusing their child for not going along with all of that?

00:13:44.000 I mean, we're already on the verge of that in California, right?

00:13:46.000 California, as we mentioned yesterday, has become the first sanctuary state for transgender youth seeking medical care.

00:13:52.000 So if you and your spouse disagree on whether your boy is a boy or your boy is a girl, and you grab your kid and you go to California and you start transing the kid, California now says that you are immune from prosecution. 0.58

00:14:03.000 They'll do nothing about that.

00:14:05.000 It's questionable as to whether even if a minor decamped from their home in, say, Oklahoma to California and started receiving transgender care without the permission of their parents, that would be any sort of problem in the state of California.

00:14:18.000 The bottom of the slippery slope is there, and it is visible, and it is in sight.

00:14:22.000 It is not a mirage in the distance.

00:14:24.000 It is the vision of the bottom of the cliff as you are falling.

00:14:29.000 What Democrats keep telling you is that the 99- You jumped off a 100-story building. 0.75

00:14:33.000 95 stories down, everything's okay so far.

00:14:35.000 You haven't hit the ground.

00:14:36.000 But the ground's coming closer, and we are going to hit it.

00:14:39.000 And so if you wish to defeat the possibility of us hitting the bottom of that slippery slope, you actually have to put roadblocks in the way near the top of the slippery slope.

00:14:48.000 And Democrats are being very clear about what it is they want here.

00:14:50.000 It's not as though they're really hiding the ball.

00:14:53.000 I mean, they lie and they say, well, we don't want, we're not seeking to create a social contagion.

00:14:58.000 We're not seeking to take your kids away from you.

00:15:00.000 We're not saying that you can't raise your kids.

00:15:02.000 That's exactly what they're saying.

00:15:03.000 It's just a question of how long it takes for them to get to the logical endpoint of what it is they're already advocating.

00:15:09.000 This, of course, will involve overthrowing religious freedom. 0.75

00:15:12.000 House Democrats have already pushed the so-called Equality Act, which is an attempt to essentially destroy religious freedom in the United States.

00:15:21.000 The basic idea is that federally, there would now be a prohibition on quote-unquote discrimination on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity across multiple sectors of American life, including employment, housing, public education, and financing, as well as credit markets and jury service.

00:15:35.000 There would be no carve-out for religious freedom in this bill whatsoever.

00:15:41.000 And they're saying the quiet part out loud.

00:15:43.000 The slippery slope is not a fallacy.

00:15:45.000 It is quite real.

00:15:47.000 And this holds on literally every issue.

00:15:49.000 It holds with regard to abortion.

00:15:51.000 If Democrats had their druthers, they would not be taking a moderate position on abortion.

00:15:55.000 They would be legalizing abortion to birth.

00:15:57.000 And we don't have to speculate about this.

00:15:59.000 This is literally what they did in New York State.

00:16:01.000 If Democrats had their druthers, they would have no legal limits on abortion. 0.97

00:16:05.000 Katie Hobbs, the candidate for governor in Arizona, she said this out loud on CBS' Face the Nation.

00:16:13.000 What would the Hobbs administration's week limit be for abortion access?

00:16:18.000 If it's not 15 weeks, what is it?

00:16:22.000 Look, abortion is a very personal decision that belongs between a woman and her doctor.

00:16:28.000 The government and politicians don't belong in that decision.

00:16:32.000 We need to let doctors perform the care that they are trained and take an oath to perform.

00:16:38.000 So, if an Arizona voter were to conclude from your previous answer that you do not favor any specific weak limit on abortion, would they be correct?

00:16:50.000 I support leaving the decision between a woman and her doctor and leaving politicians entirely out of it.

00:16:58.000 There are no limits.

00:16:59.000 No limits.

00:17:00.000 And by the way, the corollary of this will be that doctors will be forced to perform abortions in democratic states, because after all, religious freedom would be you encroaching on somebody else's quote-unquote right to choose.

00:17:10.000 It's true on issues of crime, for example.

00:17:13.000 If Democrats had their brothers, as they do in many places like San Francisco, crime would essentially be allowed to flourish.

00:17:19.000 John Fetterman is running for Senate right now.

00:17:21.000 John Fetterman 11 different times called for releasing one-third of the inmates.

00:17:25.000 Literally one-third of inmates in Pennsylvania.

00:17:29.000 Here is John Fetterman talking about that.

00:17:33.000 Dr. Oz is spreading lies on TV about John Fetterman.

00:17:36.000 It's proven false.

00:17:38.000 We could release a third of our inmates and not make anyone less safe.

00:17:41.000 He said something remarkable that I agree with.

00:17:43.000 He said we could reduce our prison population by a third and not make anyone less safe.

00:17:50.000 You could release a third of our inmates and not make anyone less safe.

00:17:53.000 If we could reduce our prison population, we could return these individuals Back to their families, back to their communities, and everyone is safer or better off.

00:18:06.000 We don't want to defund the police.

00:18:07.000 We don't want to release criminals.

00:18:08.000 We kind of want to defund the police and release criminals.

00:18:11.000 This is what you're seeing in San Francisco, where the CEO of a company called Cotopaxi Which is a gear company.

00:18:22.000 They're abandoning San Francisco saying that they have no ability to run a shop over there.

00:18:27.000 Quote, our team is terrified.

00:18:28.000 They feel unsafe.

00:18:29.000 Security guards don't help because these theft rings know security guards won't and can't stop them.

00:18:33.000 It's impossible for a retail store to operate in these circumstances, especially when cities refuse to take any action.

00:18:38.000 The city recently announced a reduction of police presence in the neighborhood despite mass scale crime.

00:18:43.000 So is it a slippery slope?

00:18:44.000 Or is it just kind of what you guys want, and you want to obscure that fact?

00:18:48.000 Keep saying slippery slope fallacy as you continue to toboggan down the slippery slope.

00:18:53.000 This is true on environmental issues as well.

00:18:55.000 California has already made clear that they want to ban all sale of gas-powered cars by 2035.

00:19:02.000 Meanwhile, they're not increasing the amount of power available to their grid.

00:19:06.000 So they're going to prevent you from being able to drive the car that you want, and they're going to do so on the basis of a technology that's not ready, and on the basis of a grid that requires fossil fuels to run in the first place.

00:19:16.000 So herein lies the problem for Democrats.

00:19:19.000 Their base is more and more and more radical these days.

00:19:21.000 It is college-educated white women. 1.00

00:19:22.000 It is members of the media.

00:19:24.000 It is the blue checks on Twitter.

00:19:26.000 And they try to agglomerate all of that with low-income voters.

00:19:29.000 This is the Democratic coalition.

00:19:31.000 Well, that Democratic coalition is not in line with what most Americans want.

00:19:35.000 And the utopia the Democrats seek is also not in line with what most Americans want.

00:19:40.000 And so over and over and over again, they'll say that people are exaggerating.

00:19:42.000 This isn't really what they want.

00:19:43.000 This is not really what they are seeking.

00:19:46.000 Well, if this isn't really what you're seeking, then why is it that you say all of this stuff five years ago and then it materializes?

00:19:51.000 Why is it that every prediction made about where you guys would be five years from now Has come true.

00:19:57.000 Go back in history and look at what Republicans were saying Democrats would be doing circa 1995.

00:20:02.000 And we are so much further than Republicans even thought Democrats were going to be.

00:20:07.000 Then anyone could have imagined.

00:20:09.000 And here's here's the real problem with that with that slippery slope and in the slippery slope graph it shows again a very shallow sort of curve and then boom you drop off a cliff.

00:20:18.000 The problem is there is no end to the bottom of the cliff.

00:20:20.000 There's no end point.

00:20:22.000 As soon as you think we've reached the end points, you say they can't go any further.

00:20:25.000 They then proceed to go further.

00:20:26.000 And this is why Democrats are in a world of hurt right now.

00:20:29.000 All they had to do was not be crazy, but they also had to convince Americans they were not going to be crazy.

00:20:33.000 Instead, they decided to both be crazy and also to pursue incredibly crazy rhetoric that is going to lead Americans not to believe them when they then claim moderation in a general election.

00:20:43.000 We'll get to more on this in just one second.

00:20:45.000 First, let me tell you about something unbelievably important you can do for yourself and your family.

00:20:49.000 Preserve those family memories today.

00:20:51.000 So, my parents, out in their garage, they had a bunch of old film reels.

00:20:54.000 They do not have a film projector.

00:20:55.000 They had a bunch of old pictures.

00:20:56.000 All those pictures were kind of falling apart.

00:20:58.000 I wanted to get all that stuff digitized and preserved forever.

00:21:00.000 So I called up my friends over at Legacy Box.

00:22:47.000 Head on over to policygenius.com slash Shapiro and get it taken care of today.

00:22:51.000 Well, the wages of all of this are becoming clear in the latest generic congressional ballot.

00:22:58.000 The RealClearPolitics polling average currently has Republicans up 2.8 points.

00:23:03.000 That is the biggest Republican lead since late June.

00:23:05.000 Now there are more polls.

00:23:06.000 Those polls are showing that gap continuing to increase.

00:23:09.000 The latest polls actually have that gap up to 3.3 points.

00:23:12.000 It looks like the hard break of a red wave, according to Dan McLaughlin, who does poll analysis over at National Review.

00:23:17.000 Monmouth has Republicans up on the generic ballot.

00:23:21.000 R plus 6.

00:23:22.000 Economist YouGov has an R plus one, but again, this doesn't take into account the sort of red shift, because one of the big problems here is that polls historically have undersampled Republicans.

00:23:32.000 So if it says R plus six in that Monmouth poll, it could easily be R plus eight.

00:23:36.000 An Economist YouGov poll that has Republicans up just one, that could easily be an R plus three.

00:23:43.000 There's a reason why 538 is now suggesting that the Democratic chances of taking the Senate are dropping like a stone.

00:23:50.000 Just a few days ago, those chances were in the 70s.

00:23:53.000 Today, it's a 59% chance.

00:23:55.000 By the end of next week, I'd guarantee that it's in the low 50s.

00:23:59.000 Democrats are falling apart, again, because of their radical attempts Now what this means for Republicans is when you take office, guys, do the popular stuff.

00:24:07.000 Stop the Democrats from doing what they're doing.

00:24:09.000 And then pursue popular policies that throw roadblocks in the way of the Democrats' radical agenda.

00:24:15.000 Don't go with your most radical members of Congress.

00:24:19.000 Don't do that.

00:24:19.000 Because then Democrats will use the slippery slope fallacy in reverse, right?

00:24:23.000 They'll say what Republicans actually want is they want to just dismantle the entire welfare state and they want to throw everybody on Social Security, off of their Social Security, all the rest of this kind of stuff.

00:24:31.000 Republicans have thus far, you can't find a single Republican in office who's advocated for any of that stuff, but Democrats will do that.

00:24:37.000 So put your best foot forward when you actually get into governing position.

00:24:40.000 With that said, Democrats are in serious trouble right now.

00:24:43.000 John Fetterman is now, according to the latest poll, in a dead heat with Dr. Oz.

00:24:47.000 And not to pat myself on the back, but I said probably six weeks ago that that race was going to get a lot closer, and I thought that I might take that race. 0.94

00:24:53.000 Well, yesterday, Joe Biden arrived in Pennsylvania for what has to be one of the most awkward campaign stops in recent memory.

00:25:02.000 So, John Fetterman, who had a stroke and cannot process auditory information correctly, was meeting with Joe Biden, who cannot speak out of his face hole.

00:25:11.000 So, that was weird.

00:25:13.000 It was also weird to see John Fetterman.

00:25:14.000 He showed up in a suit.

00:25:16.000 And he kind of looks like Mr. Dirtily Dirtle from that Dana Carvey movie.

00:25:24.000 His head does not fit his body.

00:25:25.000 It's less clear when he wears the Carhartt sweatshirts and the oversized baggy shorts, but when he's wearing a suit, he kind of looks like a thumb sticking out of his suit a little bit.

00:25:36.000 And that's awkward.

00:25:38.000 So John Fetterman did wear a suit.

00:25:40.000 He's capable of wearing a suit.

00:25:43.000 And then Joe Biden made things even more awkward.

00:25:44.000 So during his speech, he told John Fetterman's wife that she would be excellent in the Senate, which saying the quiet part out loud there, dude, John Fetterman's wife has suddenly become a campaign issue because she keeps going out there and saying that members of the press should apologize to John Fetterman for noticing that he is no longer with it and all the rest of this.

00:26:00.000 So John Fetterman, his wife, Joe Biden, said your wife will be amazing in the Senate.

00:26:05.000 I mean, just like Joe Biden is an amazing president, actually.

00:26:07.000 So here is Joe Biden.

00:26:10.000 And John, thank you very much for running.

00:26:15.000 I really do appreciate it.

00:26:16.000 And Zell, you're going to be a great lady in the Senate.

00:26:21.000 You're going to be a great lady in the Senate.

00:26:26.000 I'm so glad, John, that you're running and your wife will make an excellent senator.

00:26:31.000 Good job there, Joe.

00:26:32.000 Also, we got the usual Joe Biden inability to speak the English language.

00:26:36.000 So he tried to explain that he had made a once-in-a-lifetime investment in America, and he doesn't know how numbers work.

00:26:45.000 It's infrastructure decade.

00:26:47.000 A headline on my watch.

00:26:51.000 With the help of your members of Congress here today, I signed into law a once-in-a-generation investment in roads, highways, bridges, railroads, ports, airports, and so much more.

00:27:01.000 Over a trillion two hundred billion dollars.

00:27:08.000 Over a billion, 200 billion, billion trillion, McPhillian.

00:27:11.000 Joe Biden.

00:27:12.000 Then he got lost again.

00:27:14.000 So how many videos are there of Joe Biden just getting lost in the woods?

00:27:17.000 And here's Joe Biden getting lost in the woods.

00:27:20.000 It's like a horror movie.

00:27:20.000 So he stops at the microphone.

00:27:26.000 I I love when they bring in the music and he just gets confused.

00:27:29.000 He's like, where am I going?

00:27:31.000 I don't, I don't know.

00:27:32.000 Oh, where?

00:27:33.000 Oh, this way, that way, this way, that way.

00:27:36.000 Turn all around.

00:27:37.000 Hokey pokey.

00:27:38.000 I'm going to hustle off the stage.

00:27:39.000 Try not to fall down those stairs.

00:27:41.000 Yeah.

00:27:42.000 Joe Biden, he's definitely with it.

00:27:43.000 Meanwhile, John Fetterman's wife, who will make an excellent senator, says, we're not doing interviews, which is always the best sign of a great candidate is when your wife is jumping in going, he's not answering questions.

00:27:52.000 So there is John Fetterman looking very much like Uncle Fester, accompanied by his wife, who says that he will not be answering questions.

00:28:00.000 Mr. Fetterman, are you satisfied with the progress of the bridge?

00:28:04.000 He's not going to be answering questions.

00:28:12.000 He's just going to stand here.

00:28:14.000 It's going to be great, guys.

00:28:17.000 Well, that visit went so well that people are wondering why Joe Biden isn't going to other Senate races.

00:28:22.000 The answer is no one wants him there.

00:28:24.000 Nobody wants Joe Biden anywhere near a Senate race.

00:28:26.000 But the White House has to deny this.

00:28:28.000 They have to pretend that Joe Biden is wildly popular despite his 40% approval rating.

00:28:31.000 Karine Jean-Pierre, the world's worst press secretary, she says that Joe Biden still plans to visit the battleground states, which left Mark Kelly screaming into his pillow last night.

00:28:41.000 Is the president going to go to Georgia or Nevada in the next 19 days?

00:28:45.000 I don't have any travel to preview for you at this time.

00:28:48.000 As you know, we're going to be in Pittsburgh and Philly today, and the president's truly excited about that.

00:28:54.000 Oh, well, no travel to preview. 0.99

00:28:56.000 He'll be back in Rehoboth Beach getting into that crap. 0.98

00:28:58.000 Because nobody actually wants him in these Senate races. 0.98

00:29:02.000 Joe Biden was asked directly about this, and he got irritable, which always happens when he's not eating ice cream.

00:29:07.000 Here he was explaining that it's not true Democrats don't want him to campaign.

00:29:13.000 Learn to count, man!

00:29:14.000 They're all campaigning with me!

00:29:15.000 is going to appear in Pennsylvania.

00:29:17.000 But there haven't been that many candidates campaigning with you.

00:29:19.000 Why are more true?

00:29:20.000 There's a 15 count.

00:29:22.000 Good count.

00:29:23.000 OK, and are there going to be even more?

00:29:24.000 Learn to count, man.

00:29:28.000 They're all campaigning with me in my imagination.

00:29:31.000 Mark Kelly was literally asked on national TV if he wanted Joe Biden to come and he's like, no, Tim Ryan was asked in Ohio, do you want Joe Biden to show up?

00:29:41.000 Nobody wants this guy anywhere near them.

00:29:43.000 There's a reason for that.

00:29:44.000 CBS interviewed some Arizonans about the upcoming election between Mark Kelly and Blake Masters.

00:29:49.000 Blake Masters was trailing pretty significantly in the latest polls.

00:29:51.000 Blake Masters has been making up some significant ground.

00:29:53.000 It is possible.

00:29:54.000 Joe Biden's the worst president ever, man.

00:29:56.000 Why?

00:29:56.000 First of all, look at gas, the economy, the border.

00:29:58.000 We got fentanyl.

00:29:58.000 He doesn't care about it.

00:29:59.000 He doesn't care about Americans.

00:30:00.000 Trump could run again.

00:30:01.000 Partially because Carrie Lake is running a very strong top of the ticket race. 1.00

00:30:04.000 She's very Trumpy, she also happens to be tremendous on television. 0.99

00:30:06.000 In any case, here's some Arizona voters talking about why they don't like Mark Kelly, and the answer is Joe Biden.

00:30:10.000 Joe Biden's the worst president ever, man.

00:30:11.000 Why?

00:30:12.000 First of all, look at gas, the economy, the border.

00:30:13.000 We got fentanyl.

00:30:14.000 He doesn't care about it.

00:30:15.000 He doesn't care about Americans.

00:30:16.000 Trump could run again.

00:30:17.000 All he has to do is say, are you better off now than you were four years ago when I was in office?

00:30:19.000 And he's not going to change that.

00:30:20.000 He's not going to change that.

00:30:25.000 years ago when I was in office.

00:30:28.000 And the answer would be a resounding no!

00:30:30.000 Hello Phoenix!

00:30:33.000 Okay, so great job there by Joe Biden.

00:30:36.000 No wonder people are running away from him.

00:30:37.000 So, what is the fallout going to be here?

00:30:39.000 The fallout is going to be everybody is holding back on Joe Biden right now.

00:30:42.000 They're holding back, but the passion of the Democratic Party base and the Blue Checks is not with Joe Biden. 0.52

00:30:46.000 The passion of the Democratic Party base and the Blue Checks is with a more radical figure than Joe Biden.

00:30:51.000 Now, they've been using Joe Biden as a sort of empty vessel in order to achieve victory over Donald Trump.

00:30:56.000 The problem is if Joe Biden completely shatters on impact, as it appears he's going to, he's now, I've fallen and I can't get up.

00:31:03.000 If that happens in the midterms, the knives are gonna come out for him so unbelievably quickly.

00:31:07.000 Jim Clyburn, I think, who really sponsored his run, right?

00:31:11.000 James Clyburn in South Carolina.

00:31:13.000 He was the guy who really put him over the top in the primaries against Bernie Sanders.

00:31:15.000 He had an interview last night on MSNBC.

00:31:19.000 And first he tried to kind of walk his way through the idea that Democrats might still win the election.

00:31:25.000 And then afterward, he sort of gave up the ghost.

00:31:29.000 And I don't know of anybody who will say I would rather pay $10 or even 10 cents or even 20 cents less per gallon.

00:31:39.000 And allow you to take my rights away, my voting rights away, and these other things that we know the other party is doing to suppress votes. 0.86

00:31:48.000 That's a fool's choice that we will not make. 0.89

00:31:53.000 But why ask people to make that choice? 0.98

00:31:58.000 Okay, so that was Jim Clyburn trying to explain they're going to win the midterms because people care more about abortion than $10 gas.

00:32:03.000 Uh, no, no, that's that's not true.

00:32:06.000 And then James Clyburn is asked the real question.

00:32:08.000 And the question is, would he support Joe Biden in 2024?

00:32:11.000 in 2024. He's like, maybe, possibly, maybe.

00:32:16.000 Joe Biden has given us a great recovery.

00:32:21.000 The largest infrastructure since Eisenhower, the largest progressive program since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.

00:32:31.000 This is nothing to sneeze at.

00:32:32.000 And the American people recognize that.

00:32:35.000 And I resent people who feel that we would much rather not have jobs and education so long as we can pay 10 cents less for a gallon of gasoline.

00:32:46.000 Mwah! 0.98

00:32:47.000 So Congressman, if he runs again, will you again support him?

00:32:53.000 I suspect I will.

00:32:54.000 I don't see why I would not.

00:32:58.000 I don't see why.

00:32:59.000 Maybe, probably, no.

00:33:04.000 Yeah, no, the long knives are going to come out for Joe Biden if, in fact, his team goes down to flaming defeat.

00:33:10.000 And counterintuitively, what's going to end up happening is they're not going to moderate their positions.

00:33:14.000 They're going to elect somebody for the nomination who is significantly more progressive than Joe Biden.

00:33:19.000 Because again, Democrats can't help themselves.

00:33:21.000 They keep fibbing about whether we end up at the bottom of that slippery slope.

00:33:24.000 But increasingly, they're just taking Crisco and slathering it all over the slippery slope.

00:33:28.000 We're going to end up there sooner rather than later if Democrats are, in fact, elected.

00:33:31.000 We'll get to more in just one second.

00:33:32.000 First, in an economy as volatile as this one, it's important to have control when you're making a big purchase, like a new car.

00:35:00.000 Also, this weekend, brand new episode of the Sunday Special.

00:35:02.000 It features a very special guest, President of Brazil, Yair Bolsonaro.

00:35:06.000 Bolsonaro is in a very fraught election right now with Lula, a corrupt former leader of Brazil who was actually in jail and then he was freed from jail so that he could run against Bolsonaro.

00:35:15.000 Bolsonaro was widely expected to lose in the first round of the election.

00:35:18.000 Instead, he ran a very tight race.

00:35:20.000 It looks as though he is running very even right now.

00:35:22.000 You'll learn a lot about him.

00:35:24.000 Check out the trailer.

00:35:27.000 The less the population is able to actually understand what's actually going on, the easier it'll be for the party to capture them.

00:35:33.000 They are also for liberalizing abortion and also the so-called gender ideology.

00:35:40.000 Even children, not very few, but children age 7, 8, 9, children seem not to know whether they're girls or boys and vice versa.

00:35:49.000 Boys don't know whether they're boys anymore.

00:35:52.000 So this is really terrible.

00:35:56.000 You can watch the episode on Daily Wire Plus or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:36:02.000 Go check out the Sunday special.

00:36:03.000 Again, we've been having some pretty amazing guests on the Sunday special of late.

00:36:06.000 A lot of world leaders.

00:36:07.000 That's been happening recently.

00:36:09.000 And meanwhile, things are going amazingly well over in New York City.

00:36:12.000 So the crime wave in New York City continues apace.

00:36:15.000 Yesterday, police began a search for a man who struck a stranger on a sword with a sword sheath on a New York subway train.

00:36:22.000 Not just a sword, a sword sheath.

00:36:24.000 So apparently, one of the outcasts from Highlander arrived on the subway station on the platform in New York City and just grabbed a sheath and smacked somebody with it.

00:36:35.000 According to ABC7 New York, multiple reports came in about a man with a knife, sword, or machete who attacked a stranger on a northbound A train at the Chambers Street station, according to police.

00:36:44.000 A witness who saw the scene unfold said the suspect shoved his way past a woman onto the train, and then stood between the train cars before crashing through the other car door.

00:36:51.000 Out of nowhere, he just sort of like forcefully opened the two doors to the other train car behind it, said Rebecca Strasberg, and just whipped out what looked like a sword.

00:36:57.000 Something gigantic.

00:36:58.000 The rest was a bit hard to see.

00:36:59.000 You could see everybody from the other train cars was moving as far as they could.

00:37:04.000 Apparently, there was some sort of combat that took place in the car next door.

00:37:08.000 The only word I could think of was cliché, Strasburg said.

00:37:09.000 It was like a cliché and almost cinematic the way he whipped it out.

00:37:12.000 I felt like I was in a fever dream.

00:37:13.000 One man was hit on the head with a sword cover and sustained a slash on the forehead.

00:37:16.000 He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

00:37:19.000 The suspect was described as wearing all black with a black hat with a Marvel logo on it.

00:37:24.000 So apparently they're now in filming.

00:37:27.000 Live-action, real-life filming of the next Marvel film.

00:37:31.000 on the New York subway system.

00:37:32.000 The good news is that Eric Adams is partying it up.

00:37:35.000 So Chris Wallace asked Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, you know, remember that time he was elected in order to supposedly lower the crime rate and then the crime rates didn't get lower, they actually got worse, remember that time?

00:37:44.000 He was super pro-police until the time he wasn't.

00:37:46.000 So anyway, he was asked about why you're partying it up every night.

00:37:48.000 And Eric Adams was like, why shouldn't I party it up every night, man?

00:37:51.000 I'm mayor of New York.

00:37:52.000 You got a migrant emergency when the city is facing like the rest of the country, an economic downturn.

00:37:59.000 when you've got a crime issue.

00:38:01.000 Any thought of toning it down?

00:38:03.000 Well, think about what you just said.

00:38:04.000 You said we have an economic issue.

00:38:06.000 My nightlife is a multi-billion dollar industry.

00:38:11.000 People are afraid to go back out to restaurants.

00:38:15.000 Now they see their mayor going out saying, come back out to our city.

00:38:22.000 Oh! 0.60

00:38:23.000 He's doing it for public purposes, you see.

00:38:25.000 He's partying it up, he's enjoying the New York City nightlife to encourage New Yorkers to go back out there and enjoy their lives.

00:38:30.000 You know what would actually encourage New Yorkers to go back out there and enjoy their lives?

00:38:33.000 People not getting hit with sword sheaths on the subway.

00:38:36.000 Or randomly pushed in front of the trains.

00:38:38.000 Like one of the cops from Superman 1 by the Lex Luthor door.

00:38:44.000 Excellent, excellent governance happening right there.

00:38:46.000 By the way, there is a good piece by Mark Thiessen pointing out the obvious here.

00:38:49.000 So you've heard Republicans talking about crime over the past few months in advance of the election, and Democrats in the media responding by saying, well, you know, red states have higher murder rates than blue states.

00:38:59.000 Well, I mean, that's true, but you know where all the murder's happening?

00:39:03.000 In the blue areas of the red states.

00:39:04.000 This is the point that Mark Thiessen makes.

00:39:07.000 He says, in most of these red states, the high murder rates are driven by the lethal violence in their blue cities.

00:39:12.000 Take Missouri.

00:39:12.000 It voted for Trump.

00:39:13.000 It's also home to two of the most dangerous U.S.

00:39:15.000 cities, St.

00:39:15.000 Louis and Kansas City, both of which are run by Democrats.

00:39:18.000 Earlier this year, CBS News did an analysis of deadliest U.S.

00:39:20.000 cities using the latest FBI and other crime data.

00:39:23.000 In 2019, it found St. 0.52

00:39:24.000 Louis had the highest murder rate in the nation, with 64.54 murders per 100,000 residents.

00:39:28.000 That's an extraordinary rate.

00:39:29.000 Kansas City, meanwhile, had the eighth highest murder rate, with almost 30 murders per 100,000.

00:39:34.000 The same is true for Louisiana.

00:39:35.000 It's a red state, but Baton Rouge has the 6th highest murder rate in the nation.

00:39:39.000 New Orleans has the 7th highest murder rate in the nation.

00:39:42.000 Same thing for Tennessee. 0.99

00:39:44.000 Memphis ranks 9th in the country, also powering the state's murder rate.

00:39:48.000 Chattanooga, which was led by Democrats.

00:39:51.000 And Democratic-run Nashville.

00:39:53.000 And Democratic-run Knoxville.

00:39:55.000 In other words, it's all the blue areas that are making the red states have high murder rates.

00:39:59.000 So just well done as always.

00:40:01.000 But at least Eric Adams is able to go out and party.

00:40:04.000 And to me, that's really the priority that we should be focused in on like a laser beam.

00:40:08.000 Alrighty, guys, the rest of the show is continuing right now.

00:40:11.000 You're not going to want to miss it.

00:40:12.000 We'll be getting into why Liz Truss just lost her job as Prime Minister of the UK.
