The Ben Shapiro Show - The Federal Reserve Rides To Kamala’s RESCUE!

00:00:00.000 So you remember that time that Kamala Harris was the greatest candidate since ever?

00:00:04.000 She was brat, and she was awesome, and she was vibes, and then she won this stellar debate against Donald Trump, and the race is still totally deadlocked.

00:00:13.000 We'll bring you the latest on that momentarily.

00:00:14.000 First, your reminder, Am I Racist?

00:00:16.000 is the number one new comedy in America.

00:00:18.000 It is now playing Only in theaters.

00:00:20.000 Get tickets and showtimes for your local theaters right now at www.amiracist.com and show the left that they don't just control everything.

00:00:26.000 They don't even control their own preserves and domains like Hollywood.

00:00:30.000 Alrighty, so, brand new set of polls out with regard to the swing states.

00:00:35.000 Bottom line is they're very, very tight.

00:00:37.000 Very tight.

00:00:38.000 Totally unclear exactly who is winning in the various swing states.

00:00:42.000 Again, if you look at that RealClearPolitics polling average, which seems to lag just a little bit in some of the indicators.

00:00:48.000 Every single state, every single swing state is within the margin of error.

00:00:52.000 Georgia is Trump plus 2. 0.54

00:00:54.000 Pennsylvania is Harris plus 0.7.

00:00:57.000 However, a brand new Washington Post poll shows Trump effectively tied with Kamala Harris.

00:01:02.000 When you look at a poll and it says Trump 47, Kamala Harris 48, or Trump 48, Kamala Harris 47, these polls are not to the level of exactitude that that actually means anything other than this race is tied.

00:01:14.000 That is what a margin of error is.

00:01:15.000 A margin of error just means That there is, in fact, a margin in which the error is covered.

00:01:22.000 Meaning that if it's a three-point margin of error, and it says that Trump's at 47%, theoretically, he could be at 44%, and theoretically, he could be at 50%.

00:01:29.000 It is totally unclear where that race is.

00:01:33.000 So, numbers that are within the margin of error don't actually mean very much.

00:01:37.000 And pretty much all of these polls are within the margin of error.

00:01:40.000 The Quinnipiac poll, by contrast, has Pennsylvania at Harris 51, Trump 45, Michigan at Harris 50, Trump 45, but Wisconsin at Harris 48, Trump 47.

00:01:52.000 Now remember, if Trump carries North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, and then he picks up Wisconsin, he still wins the election.

00:01:58.000 So, what that means is that this race is as tight as it is possible for a race to be tight.

00:02:03.000 By the way, some of these Senate races are starting to tighten up as well.

00:02:05.000 That same Washington Post poll that shows a tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris shows a one-point Senate race between Bob Casey, the incumbent Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, and Dave McCormick, the Republican challenger.

00:02:19.000 Again, the presidential results, according to the Washington Post, are similar to the Post's average of recent polls, which shows Harris with a three-point edge in Pennsylvania.

00:02:27.000 Since last week's debate, Harris led Trump by six points in a Quinnipiac University poll in Pennsylvania, held a three-point edge in USA Today's Suffolk poll.

00:02:35.000 A Marist College poll showed the race tied.

00:02:37.000 So, again, these polls are showing that nobody really knows.

00:02:41.000 It's very difficult to model an electorate in which Donald Trump is a candidate on the ballot, which is why they've systematically been sort of under-sampling Trump voters for years.

00:02:50.000 Maybe they're now measuring the other way.

00:02:52.000 It's really impossible to tell until we get to election day, which is why voter turnout machine is kind of the only thing that matters at this point.

00:02:58.000 Very few opinions are going to switch.

00:03:00.000 If they do switch, they will likely switch in favor of President Trump.

00:03:03.000 Kamala Harris is not doing amazingly with independents.

00:03:05.000 There's some conflicting poll data.

00:03:06.000 Fox News poll shows that she's up 12 with independents, but a Gallup poll shows she's down 25 with independents.

00:03:11.000 Bottom line is people don't know anything about her, and she's trying to keep it that way. 1.00

00:03:17.000 If it comes down to the undecideds, decent shot that Trump wins.

00:03:20.000 If the turnout is good.

00:03:22.000 If the Trump team does the turnout work that they need to.

00:03:26.000 With that said, the race is getting tighter in many of these swing states, not less tight.

00:03:30.000 So Nate Silver, who has had Trump fairly well ahead in sort of his forecast for the election, not in terms of the polling numbers, but in terms of what he forecasts will actually happen, right now, it's a dead heat.

00:03:42.000 He says that the Electoral College probability of Trump winning the Electoral College is 52%, Harris at 47.6%, which is effectively a dead heat.

00:03:52.000 Right now, if he had to predict the number of electoral votes, however, Kamala Harris would probably win. 0.99

00:03:57.000 So it's all a mess.

00:03:58.000 His formula is being thrown off by the closeness of these polls.

00:04:03.000 And remember, the importance in this race for Kamala Harris and Tim Wallace is avoid interviews at all costs.

00:04:09.000 Do not show who you are.

00:04:11.000 Try to hide it, which is a pretty good indicator she's going to be a terrible president. 1.00

00:04:15.000 If you have to hide what you're going to be when you're president of the United States, and you are currently the vice president of the United States, this indicates you're a bad candidate.

00:04:23.000 By the numbers, Harris has been a candidate.

00:04:24.000 This is according to Axios, which is an allied media outlet for the Democrat administration.

00:04:30.000 Harris has been a candidate for 59 days and Tim Walz for 44 days.

00:04:34.000 During those 59 days, Donald Trump and J.D.

00:04:36.000 Vance have participated in more than 70 interviews and press conferences with TV and print reporters.

00:04:42.000 Harris and Walz have taken part in seven.

00:04:46.000 In seven, J.D.

00:04:47.000 Vance alone has participated in more than seven times more interviews and press conferences than Harris and Walz combined during that time.

00:04:56.000 Harris has done a grand total since July 21st of one local TV interview, one national print publication, one national TV interview, and zero press conferences.

00:05:07.000 Zero.

00:05:08.000 The entire goal of the Harris Walls campaign is to hide Kamala Harris and hide Tim Walls and hide things from you.

00:05:13.000 Well, that's also true of your cell phone company.

00:06:22.000 They are trying to hide her.

00:06:23.000 They are actually running the Biden basement strategy with Kamala Harris.

00:06:28.000 Now, there are people on the left who are saying, put her out there more.

00:06:31.000 You know, the more people see her, the more they like her.

00:06:33.000 Wrong.

00:06:34.000 The more people see her, the more they dislike her because she's annoying and irritating and bad at this. 1.00

00:06:38.000 And at least Harris' team is smart enough to know that.

00:06:41.000 So they are trying to hide her behind glass.

00:06:44.000 Like, do not let her out, whatever you do.

00:06:48.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:06:49.000 I mean, even Axios is acknowledging she's bad at this.

00:06:51.000 Quote, some of Harris's worst moments as vice president have come during interviews,

00:06:54.000 when she made flip or unclear statements about key policies.

00:06:57.000 Her campaign is trying to avoid more comments like that. 1.00

00:06:59.000 Oh, you mean talking?

00:07:00.000 You mean, I think you're talking about talking right now.

00:07:05.000 So they continue to try and gas this vehicle through the election on vibes alone.

00:07:11.000 So, for example, MSNBC guest Brigadier General Steve Anderson, he is the one who just the other day was calling Trump a Nazi, says that the really important thing about Kamala Harris when it comes to foreign policy is that she comes from an interracial marriage. 0.92

00:07:25.000 Well, I mean, congrajuh-fricken-lations. 1.00

00:07:29.000 Talk about things that you cannot actually control.

00:07:31.000 It turns out you can't control who your parents are.

00:07:34.000 In fact, they predate you.

00:07:37.000 There's a notion that people all over the world look at products of interracial marriages and they're like, well, they'll probably be a better president than a person who is not a product of an interracial marriage. 0.99

00:07:45.000 That's what we would call stupid talk. 0.99

00:07:48.000 And yet that's exactly... 0.99

00:07:50.000 This is very reminiscent of when they just handed Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize after he was elected in 2008 because he was a black president of the United States.

00:07:56.000 And even Obama was like, what's this?

00:07:58.000 I didn't do anything yet.

00:08:00.000 And it turns out he was very bad for peace. 1.00

00:08:02.000 But here is the MSNBC guest saying that Kamala Harris's mixed parentage is just a boon to the world or something stupid like that. 0.99

00:08:10.000 She's an inspiration. 0.99

00:08:12.000 Not only is she positive, does she bring hope and optimism, but as a black woman, the product of a mixed marriage, she will inspire millions of people throughout the world.

00:08:24.000 Our credibility as a nation, that we would be able to allow, our country is so great that we're allowed a woman like that to become the Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, that is going to send a Powerful message all over the world. 1.00

00:08:38.000 People like Vladimir Putin are going to say, hey, wait a minute.

00:08:41.000 These guys, you know, they truly have democratic country.

00:08:45.000 They truly are representative.

00:08:46.000 They truly are fighting for all their people.

00:08:49.000 And Kamala Harris is a manifestation of that.

00:08:53.000 What the?

00:08:55.000 Right, so Vladimir Putin is sitting around in the Kremlin going, oh, look, they make black woman president. 0.99

00:09:01.000 Amazing, powerful democracy because she's black. 1.00

00:09:05.000 As though Vladimir Putin has never seen a black person before. 0.98

00:09:08.000 What? 0.99

00:09:10.000 What in the F?

00:09:12.000 So this is what they got.

00:09:13.000 And here's the thing.

00:09:14.000 Of course they have to keep her away from the cameras.

00:09:16.000 Cause she's awful. 0.99

00:09:18.000 And Kamala Harris is switching accents more often than she switches positions at this point.

00:09:21.000 Which is to say, an awful lot.

00:09:24.000 So yesterday, she gave a speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

00:09:27.000 And she dropped a new accent, which was interesting.

00:09:29.000 I didn't know that she had a stereotypical Latina accent. 0.96

00:09:32.000 That's exciting.

00:09:35.000 Oh, I love you back!

00:09:37.000 You better thank a union member for sick leave!

00:09:40.000 You better thank a union member for paid leave! 0.93

00:09:41.000 This is her stereotypical black accent. 0.99

00:09:43.000 You better thank a union member for vacation time!

00:09:46.000 Hello to all my divine nine brothers and sisters!

00:09:52.000 And my soror!

00:09:56.000 She does not have any core to her at all.

00:10:01.000 At all. 0.83

00:10:01.000 This is not me saying she's not a black person. 0.83

00:10:03.000 Of course she's a black person. 0.99

00:10:05.000 Her father was black.

00:10:06.000 Her mother was Indian.

00:10:07.000 Those are just facts that predate her birth and have nothing to do with her character or whether she'll be a good president.

00:10:12.000 When somebody switches accents that often, it's a little weird.

00:10:15.000 If somebody did that in your life, like every time they went into it, it's the most patronizing thing.

00:10:19.000 You remember when Donald Trump was ripped up and down because on Cinco de Mayo, he tweeted out a photo of himself eating a taco bowl and saying, I love the Mexicans because taco bowls. 0.96

00:10:28.000 And everybody was like, that's ridiculous. 0.99

00:10:30.000 That's hilarious and ridiculous. 0.98

00:10:32.000 Kamala Harris tries to become a member. 0.94

00:10:35.000 Of every population she speaks to.

00:10:36.000 So when she's speaking to white people, it's like Dave Chappelle when he's pretending to be a white person on SNL, like 20 years ago.

00:10:44.000 And when she is speaking to black people, suddenly she's talking like Michael Eric Dyson. 0.95

00:10:49.000 And when she is talking to Hispanic people, suddenly she's dropping into dialect that she picked up from like a 1990s episode of LA Law or something.

00:10:59.000 It's bizarre.

00:11:00.000 I mean, what the, what the, what?

00:11:04.000 And they're still trying to weave this into an actual case for her.

00:11:08.000 Elizabeth Spears, who is just another awful opinion writer for the New York Times. 0.93

00:11:12.000 Man, they have a stable of opinion writers.

00:11:15.000 It's like they've got Secretariat, Man of War, every great horse in history of awful opinion writers.

00:11:21.000 Awful opinion—so Elizabeth Spears.

00:11:24.000 As a piece titled, The Real Reason the Harris Twang is Driving Republicans Crazy.

00:11:28.000 I can tell you why it's driving people crazy.

00:11:29.000 Because it's totally inauthentic. 1.00

00:11:31.000 Because she's a phony and because she's a fake. 1.00

00:11:34.000 That is why. 1.00

00:11:35.000 And if anyone in your family did this, you'd think they were sociopathic.

00:11:38.000 If you brought them to a series of dinner parties and they just started changing their accent, you'd be like, what in the actual F is happening right now?

00:11:45.000 Who are you?

00:11:46.000 Why are you doing this thing?

00:11:48.000 Elizabeth Spears suggests that the reason that Republicans are upset with Kamala Harris changing her accent like this is because Republicans who think that white, possibly racist, working-class people are their base might feel that a black Democrat using a Southern accent is stealing their schtick or their votes. 0.90

00:12:07.000 Nailed it.

00:12:08.000 That's what it is.

00:12:09.000 That's what it is. 0.99

00:12:09.000 It's not that we think she's inauthentic, a phony, completely ridiculous. 0.99

00:12:13.000 It's that we are afraid that she's going to steal Southern- Yeah, right. 0.98

00:12:16.000 I'm deeply worried that Kamala Harris is going to steal Southern votes. 1.00

00:12:19.000 She can get wiped out in the South. 1.00

00:12:21.000 She can get wiped out in the South because of the red states, and she's really, really, really leftist.

00:12:26.000 And she works for the administration that has made life a misery for an enormous number of people. 0.92

00:12:30.000 The inauthenticity is just complete with her.

00:12:33.000 So, I am not particularly worried about Kamala Harris stealing Southern votes because of a Southern accent. 1.00

00:12:38.000 One reason is because she is wildly pro-abortion.

00:12:41.000 Wildly pro-abortion. 0.78

00:12:42.000 It turns out most people in the South, not wildly, pro-abortion.

00:12:45.000 The Biden administration has decided that standing up for innocent life should be a criminal offense.

00:12:49.000 It seems the far-left's agenda now includes terminating lives even after birth.

00:12:53.000 This happened, by the way.

00:12:54.000 Despite their lies, this has happened.

00:12:56.000 A multiplicity of times across the United States, a baby is born during an abortion procedure, and then they want to decriminalize what happens next to the baby.

00:13:05.000 Here's the thing, we're not going to stand for this.

00:13:06.000 Preborn is a longtime sponsor of the show and they're fighting back.

00:13:09.000 They've positioned their clinics in the areas with the highest abortion rates, ready to support moms facing unplanned pregnancies.

00:13:14.000 Let me tell you their approach works.

00:13:16.000 When a mom sees her baby on an ultrasound and experiences real compassion, her likelihood of choosing life doubles.

00:13:21.000 Now I know many of you listening are pro-life.

00:13:22.000 For just 28 bucks, that's less than you'd spend on a dinner out, you can sponsor an ultrasound that could save a life.

00:13:27.000 Think about it.

00:13:28.000 28 bucks.

00:13:28.000 That's all it takes to potentially change the course of not just one life, but two.

00:13:32.000 The babies and moms.

00:13:33.000 So here's what you need to do.

00:13:34.000 Dial pound 250, say keyword baby.

00:13:36.000 That's pound 250 baby. 1.00

00:13:38.000 Or if you prefer, go to preborn.com slash ben.

00:13:41.000 That's preborn.com slash ben.

00:13:43.000 Every donation is tax deductible, goes directly to defending the defenseless.

00:13:46.000 Let's show the left we don't just talk about protecting life, we actually do it.

00:13:50.000 I'm going to show you more and more Kamala Harris as this election goes on because, frankly, I think it's good that you get acquainted with a person who might actually become the President of the United States before you sign on for a long period of time.

00:14:00.000 I feel like you should have to spend a prolonged period of time with this person before deciding that you'd like to hear this grating voice for another four to eight years leading the news every night.

00:14:12.000 Get ready, gang.

00:14:14.000 So apparently, again, she's at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and she said that she was in the streets again.

00:14:19.000 Kamala Harris is not in the streets.

00:14:21.000 She's not in the streets.

00:14:22.000 What are we even talking about?

00:14:25.000 She's the most white-collar person in American politics. 1.00

00:14:28.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:14:29.000 She's a midday drinking wine mamala. 1.00

00:14:33.000 In the streets.

00:14:34.000 Give me a break.

00:14:36.000 Here we go.

00:14:38.000 Recently, I was in Nevada.

00:14:40.000 I'm in these streets.

00:14:42.000 I'm everywhere.

00:14:42.000 I'm in these streets.

00:14:47.000 By the way, it could only contain the laugh for so long.

00:14:49.000 The pathological joke or laughter, it's coming back, and it's coming back with a vengeance, and there's still almost 50 days left in this election cycle.

00:14:55.000 She also dropped some knowledge on you, such as knowledge that children of the community are, you know, children of the community, yeah, yeah, yeah, with the hand mark, and the community, and the community children are children of the, what we call, what you might know as the community.

00:15:15.000 I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community.

00:15:20.000 Oh, is that what you grew up understanding?

00:15:24.000 Wow.

00:15:25.000 Wow.

00:15:26.000 Words of wisdom there.

00:15:28.000 Very, very impressive.

00:15:31.000 Meanwhile, I do love that Hillary Clinton has now become the greatest spokesperson for Kamala Harris.

00:15:36.000 In a moment, I'm going to explain why I think Kamala Harris actually has a very, very, very serious problem in this election that nobody is actually talking about. 0.99

00:15:43.000 One of the reasons is because she has to try to out-surrogate Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:15:46.000 So here's Hillary Clinton, who literally says it's a double standard to ask Kamala about her policies. 0.99

00:15:50.000 A double standard.

00:15:51.000 Why?

00:15:52.000 Trump doesn't get asked about his policies?

00:15:54.000 I mean, he actually gets grilled about his policies.

00:15:56.000 And when he doesn't know them, people make fun of him.

00:15:58.000 Kamala Harris is running around talking about how the children of the community are the children of the community.

00:16:05.000 The children.

00:16:06.000 Here we go.

00:16:08.000 Hillary Clinton.

00:16:09.000 You know, honestly, God's justice comes for all.

00:16:11.000 And the fact that she was never president is just one of God's amazing jokes.

00:16:17.000 She's put out policies on her campaign website.

00:16:20.000 Anybody who's truly interested can go and read about them.

00:16:22.000 She referenced policies.

00:16:24.000 She actually doesn't just have policies and concepts. 0.98

00:16:27.000 She has, you know, plans about what to do.

00:16:29.000 I think it's a, you know, it's a double standard.

00:16:34.000 And it's a double standard that is partly because they are still getting to know her, but also because they're still grappling with the idea like, oh, am I really going to vote for a woman to be president and commander in chief?

00:16:48.000 She's going back to that well.

00:16:50.000 Now, to her credit, Kamala isn't trying not to go to the I'm a woman, hear me roar well. 1.00

00:16:54.000 Her entire campaign is based on it.

00:16:56.000 It is inherently based on that, which is why all of the men who surround Kamala Harris are inherently beta submissives.

00:17:03.000 That is their entire campaign persona. 0.88

00:17:05.000 Doug Emhoff is doing the dumb sitcom dad from 2005. 0.97

00:17:07.000 Tim Walz is doing the dumb sitcom dad coach from 2005. 0.97

00:17:11.000 They're both doing the we are submissive to Kamala Harris routine. 0.98

00:17:15.000 It's really off-putting.

00:17:18.000 Even the media, by the way, are getting a little tired of this routine.

00:17:21.000 Dana Bash, who treated Kamala Harris with kid gloves when she actually had a chance to interview her, even she was like, you know what?

00:17:27.000 You could actually start a drinking game listening to Kamala Harris throw out those platitudes. 1.00

00:17:32.000 When you listen to Kamala Harris on what she will do, you can almost start a drinking game every time she says small businesses.

00:17:42.000 Well, actually, when you ask what she will do, she immediately goes, she, as I say, she sounds like the beginning of David Copperfield.

00:17:47.000 Chapter one, I am born.

00:17:48.000 So what do you want to do about inflation?

00:17:50.000 Like, well, I was born.

00:17:52.000 It's like, well, congratulations to you, madam.

00:17:57.000 Abby Phillips of CNN, again, a Kamala ally.

00:17:59.000 Even she's like, yeah, I haven't seen any specifics from Kamala Harris.

00:18:02.000 She's babbling nonsensically.

00:18:04.000 Black journalists today at the NABJ pressed Vice President Kamala Harris on policies from guns to the war in Gaza, but many of her answers lacked specifics, and some Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, told Kara Swisher that that's perfectly fine.

00:18:21.000 Oh, Democrats said that it's perfectly fine.

00:18:23.000 I can't believe it.

00:18:24.000 Why, it's almost as though she is just a face on the machine, and it doesn't matter what she says her policies are, because she'll push the same policies. 0.93

00:18:30.000 Now, here is the problem that I'm talking about when it comes to Kamala Harris, and it does come back to this inherent gender gap that her candidacy has created. 0.99

00:18:38.000 It is perfectly obvious, by the way, from the voting of the Teamsters.

00:18:41.000 So the Teamsters take a poll before they decide whether to endorse somebody.

00:18:44.000 Yesterday, the Teamsters decided not to endorse anybody, which is kind of a shock, because typically they support the Democrat.

00:18:50.000 Well, there's an electronic poll.

00:18:52.000 The electronic poll, earlier in this campaign, when Joe Biden was the candidate, before that, Biden was ahead of Trump among the Teamsters, 46 to 37, with Robert F. Kennedy at 5%.

00:19:03.000 That's a nine-point lead for the Democrat.

00:19:07.000 With Kamala Harris in the race, here is the actual result of the electronic poll.

00:19:11.000 60 Trump, 34 Harris.

00:19:16.000 A survey conducted via phone was similar.

00:19:17.000 58 Trump, 31 Harris.

00:19:21.000 So what could that be?

00:19:23.000 What could that be?

00:19:24.000 Is that because they believe that Kamala Harris is significantly less pro-union than Joe Biden?

00:19:29.000 Or is it because they believe, because it turns out that voters are multifaceted, union members don't just vote as members of a union, they vote as fathers, they vote as husbands, they vote as people who are members of their community and their church.

00:19:41.000 And they look at Kamala Harris and they say, this is a person who disdains masculinity.

00:19:46.000 This is a person who's part of a broader movement that suggests that masculinity is somehow toxic and that the only type of males who ought to be emulated are goofballs like Tim Walz and doofy like her husband, Doug Emhoff, the fakest person in the campaign.

00:20:02.000 A peculiar soft spot for my dislike of Doug Emhoff, given his faux jury, which he trots out at every possible opportunity.

00:20:11.000 In any case, there is something happening that's happening under the surface.

00:20:15.000 And it's sort of a reverse Obama effect.

00:20:17.000 So back in 2008, people were real proud to vote for Obama.

00:20:21.000 People were taking photos of themselves in the voting booth, voting for Barack Obama to show all their friends how tolerant and diverse they were.

00:20:27.000 With Kamala Harris, there's a certain level of embedded dislike of Kamala Harris as a politician, and people are afraid to say it because they are afraid they'll be perceived as intolerant.

00:20:37.000 But when they are quietly polled by their own union members, for example, they shift their viewpoint.

00:20:41.000 That is a massive swing.

00:20:43.000 And that is indicative of something.

00:20:45.000 For some reason, the Teamsters swung from 37% for Trump to 60% for Trump, a 23-point swing based on the switch out of Biden to Harris.

00:20:56.000 And everyone's been talking about the upsides of Harris, that Democratic enthusiasm is up.

00:21:00.000 They've been talking about the upside of Harris, which is that people of color are going to vote for her with more alacrity than they would have Joe Biden.

00:21:09.000 What they're not talking about is the fact that Joe Biden actually had some crossover potential with particularly white, blue-collar males.

00:21:16.000 And those people look at Kamala Harris, not for racial reasons, but for the reason that her entire attitude is indicative of a belief in the sort of logic that Barack Obama used in 2012, that if you're a white person, you're a white dude for Kamala.

00:21:31.000 That sort of attitude has a very negative implication for a lot of people in this country who don't feel comfortable with Kamala Harris.

00:21:39.000 A lot of guys, by the way, who felt comfortable with Barack Obama in 2008 and didn't feel comfortable with him in 2012, when he actually lost some 3 million votes.

00:21:46.000 Well, dudes have been almost completely disregarded by the Democratic Party, but dudes have some unique problems that there are solutions to.

00:21:54.000 Dudes, have you heard of Rose Sparks?

00:22:48.000 Go find out right now.

00:22:53.000 Now, you always have to leave it to the Teamsters.

00:22:55.000 The Teamsters immediately came out, and despite the fact that, like, 60-40, or 60-30, they support Trump, despite that, the Teamsters heads were not willing to endorse Donald Trump.

00:23:08.000 So the General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters elected not to endorse any candidate for U.S.

00:23:13.000 President.

00:23:15.000 And data publicly released earlier in the day, Joe Biden won the support of Teamsters voting in straw polls, but in independent electronic and phone polling from July to September, a majority of voting members twice selected Trump for a possible Teamsters endorsement over Kamala Harris.

00:23:29.000 This is an amazing statement.

00:23:30.000 Okay, so why didn't the union just endorse Trump?

00:23:32.000 Quote, the union's extensive member polling showed no majority support for Vice President Harris and no universal support among the membership for President Trump.

00:23:40.000 What do you mean universal support?

00:23:42.000 Like, did it have to be 100 to zero?

00:23:45.000 What a joke the Teamsters Union is.

00:23:47.000 Seriously.

00:23:48.000 I'm sorry, we can't just endorse the candidate that 60% of our population likes.

00:23:52.000 That would be undemocratic.

00:23:53.000 It has to be 100%.

00:23:55.000 In any case, it is a damaging piece of data for Kamala Harris, who is trying to make a heavy case to the Teamsters. 0.99

00:24:00.000 So how is she responding?

00:24:02.000 Well, she's going and getting a bunch of old rhinos to endorse her. 1.00

00:24:06.000 A bunch of people that nobody cares about or has cared about in a very long time to endorse her, who are former Republicans.

00:24:14.000 You know, a bunch of people who switched to the Democrats years ago and now are sort of pretending that this is a brand new thing.

00:24:22.000 Like, when got Adam Kinzinger, for example.

00:24:25.000 Congratulations to Kamala on securing the endorsement of John Negroponte.

00:24:30.000 Wow, can you believe that she somehow achieved the endorsement of Christopher Shays?

00:24:37.000 Wow, these Republican heavy hitters. 0.92

00:24:39.000 I mean, we are talking some real, some real heavy hitters here.

00:24:43.000 William Weld?

00:24:44.000 No!

00:24:44.000 You shock me, madam.

00:24:48.000 She doesn't have crossover appeal. 1.00

00:24:49.000 She just has people who hate Trump appeal.

00:24:51.000 That's all.

00:24:53.000 And so, what does that mean?

00:24:54.000 That means there needs to be, in order to ensure Kamala's victory, some sort of outside force that pushes her to victory.

00:25:01.000 Now, the problem for Kamala Harris in this race, there aren't going to be any more debates. 0.97

00:25:05.000 There are very few events that would seem to cut in her favor.

00:25:08.000 If something bad happens in the world that cuts against the current administration, if a large-scale war breaks out in the Middle East right now, that's not going to cut against Trump.

00:25:14.000 That's going to cut against Biden-Harris, because she's the VP who's failed to prevent it.

00:25:19.000 If there's an economic collapse, that cuts against Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:25:22.000 If there's any piece of really bad data in the country right now, it cuts against the incumbent, always.

00:25:26.000 Because bad news always cuts against the incumbent.

00:25:29.000 There is one piece of news that could be released and manipulated in order to try and help Kamala Harris, and it happened yesterday.

00:25:34.000 So yesterday, the Federal Reserve cut the interest rates by half a percentage point.

00:25:40.000 That is the boldest start in making its first reduction since 2020.

00:25:45.000 11 of the 12 fed voters backed the cut and brought the benchmark federal funds rate to a range between 4.75% and 5%.

00:25:53.000 Quarterly projections released Wednesday showed a narrow majority of officials penciled in cuts that would lower rates by at least a quarter point each at the meetings in November and December.

00:26:00.000 So they're going to start cutting.

00:26:02.000 And they wanted a heavy cut.

00:26:03.000 They want a hard cut. 0.95

00:26:05.000 Now, the problem with that hard cut is that, number one, inflation actually has not gone down all the way to the 2% number that the Federal Reserve typically looks for.

00:26:16.000 Two, the economy is still pretty hot, meaning that unemployment numbers are still not radically up.

00:26:21.000 So what are you doing?

00:26:22.000 You're injecting more money into an economy that actually is not flagging enough to justify that size of a cut.

00:26:28.000 You might make the case for a 25 basis point cut, a 0.25% cut.

00:26:31.000 You can make that case.

00:26:32.000 You can say, okay, we need to gradually inject more money into the economy.

00:26:36.000 Listen, my feeling is that interest rates should be free-floating and not manipulated by the Federal Reserve at all.

00:26:42.000 I think it's ridiculous that we have a centralized government agency that decides how much your dollar is worth based on a dual mission of reducing unemployment and keeping inflation down.

00:26:52.000 It seems to me that the free market should decide exactly how interest rates float.

00:26:58.000 And sometimes the interest rates need to go up in order to clean out bubbles.

00:27:01.000 And when that doesn't happen, you end up growing bubbles, and then eventually the bubbles burst to much worse effect.

00:27:07.000 However, the notion that the Federal Reserve had to go 50 basis points here seems a little spurious.

00:27:13.000 Well, the financial health of the nation is on precarious footing, but there's something just as important to you, your actual health.

00:27:19.000 The left loves to push woke agendas on pretty much everything, including men's health products.

00:27:23.000 Here's the thing.

00:27:23.000 We don't need supplements designed by soy boys who think that masculinity is toxic and bad.

00:27:28.000 You know, the white dudes from Kamala.

00:27:29.000 Products made for dudes by dudes would be good.

00:28:25.000 We actually have an episode of Facts over at our YouTube channel

00:28:28.000 if you wanna know how the Federal Reserve does this and the history of Federal Reserve.

00:28:32.000 Manipulating the monetary supply?

00:28:34.000 Go check that out right now if you want to understand this stuff a little bit better.

00:28:38.000 The federal governor, Michelle Bowman, dissented against Wednesday's decision in favor of a smaller quarter point cut.

00:28:43.000 Bowman was appointed by Trump in 2018 and became the first governor to dissent against an interest rate decision since 2005.

00:28:48.000 It was the first dissent by any voter on the rate-setting committee since June 2022.

00:28:52.000 This is just the sixth time in the past 30 years the central bank switched from raising to lowering rates.

00:29:00.000 Usually when the Fed starts cutting rates, according to the Wall Street Journal, it doesn't know whether it will make a handful of small moves, as it did in 95 and 98, or whether it's the start of a longer series of reductions, as in 2001 and 2007.

00:29:13.000 So, they're going to start lowering the interest rates again.

00:29:15.000 There are a few reasons they're doing that.

00:29:16.000 One is, the United States government is borrowing money at such an unbelievable clip right now, that if you leave those interest rates up, it ratchets up the interest payments on the national debt.

00:29:25.000 So that is one reason.

00:29:26.000 In order to correct for the vast national debt that we are piling up, they are lowering the interest rates so we don't have to pay back people as high rates.

00:29:34.000 That's a major, major factor here.

00:29:36.000 Another factor is supposed to be the idea that the economy is slowing so much that we need to inject a fresh round of capital.

00:29:43.000 Now, let's be real about this.

00:29:44.000 Capital has not dried up in the American economy.

00:29:46.000 It has not.

00:29:47.000 That is why the stock market is currently riding where the stock market is riding.

00:29:50.000 I mentioned the other day that the price to earnings ratio for the Dow Jones Industrial Average right now is currently riding at like 31.

00:30:03.000 The average P.E.

00:30:06.000 ratio for the Dow over the past three years is 20.

00:30:10.000 Hey, that's insane.

00:30:12.000 That means that stocks are overvalued.

00:30:14.000 That means that there's a bunch of money in the system that is being thrown at the stock market because people don't know what to do with the money.

00:30:19.000 Investors are getting a fresh infusion of cash in their pocket, and they're immediately going and planting it where they think it will maybe earn a return.

00:30:28.000 And stocks would be one place.

00:30:30.000 They're presumably going to do the same in real estate.

00:30:32.000 The problem is that the interest rates in real estate remain higher than they were, say, five or six years ago.

00:30:37.000 So even if you want to trade a house for a different house, that now means that you're giving up a 3.5% interest rate on your mortgage for a 6% interest rate on your mortgage, which costs you a lot more money.

00:30:50.000 So, what is this designed to do?

00:30:52.000 It's designed to give people a feeling that the economy is sailing.

00:30:55.000 That's what it's designed to do.

00:30:56.000 That we've avoided the big hit, that we are now in good shape.

00:31:00.000 The problem is, when you make a half percentage point cut, a 50 basis point cut, that you are signaling two things at the same time.

00:31:06.000 One, you're signaling that the economy is on the verge of a downturn.

00:31:10.000 That's why you would cut it 50 basis points as opposed to 25.

00:31:14.000 You're simultaneously signaling that the worries about inflation are over.

00:31:19.000 Which means the economy is strong and solid.

00:31:21.000 So these two things are in conflict with one another.

00:31:23.000 That's not even my point.

00:31:24.000 That's a point made by Mohamed El-Erian of Allianz.

00:31:28.000 So here is Jerome Powell of the Federal Reserve trying to justify this.

00:31:32.000 Here he was saying that their patient approach has paid dividends.

00:31:35.000 If by your patient approach you mean that you increased the prices of everything over the past three and a half years by 20 odd percent, then well done, Jerome.

00:31:44.000 Don't strain your shoulder patting yourself on the back too hard here.

00:31:48.000 Our patient approach over the past year has paid dividends.

00:31:52.000 Inflation is now much closer to our objective, and we have gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2%.

00:32:00.000 Well, it's moving sustainably toward 2%, but it isn't there yet, is it?

00:32:05.000 I noticed.

00:32:06.000 Meanwhile, he said that the decision reflects a confidence in the labor market that it can be maintained.

00:32:13.000 So, you know, if the labor market is going to, by the way, if that were true, you wouldn't have to lower the interest rates.

00:32:19.000 If you believe that we weren't about to head into some sort of jobs problem, then you wouldn't be injecting more capital into the economy, would you?

00:32:29.000 Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to reduce the degree of policy restraint by lowering our policy interest rate by a half percentage point.

00:32:38.000 This decision reflects our growing confidence that with an appropriate recalibration of our policy stance, strength in the labor market can be maintained in a context of moderate growth and inflation moving sustainably down to 2%.

00:32:54.000 So again, this is a very weird move.

00:32:58.000 Mohamed El-Erian points out that today, for example, the Bank of England did not change its interest rate.

00:33:02.000 They left it completely unchanged.

00:33:06.000 And he points out an article from an economy reporter from the New York Times named Gianna Smialek,

00:33:12.000 who says, people with jobs have started showing up at homeless shelters in Atlanta. Families who

00:33:16.000 can't cover their grocery bills are pushing up demand at a Boston food bank. A dearth of available

00:33:20.000 housing is plaguing Sacramento. Yet reports of recent raises abound, and a partly retired

00:33:24.000 homeowner near Pittsburgh is happy about his savings.

00:33:27.000 America's bout of painfully high inflation and the period of high interest rates meant to

00:33:30.000 cure it is finally drawing to a close.

00:33:32.000 But even as the nation's tumultuous pandemic economy era begins to approach its end, the period is destined to leave lingering marks.

00:33:40.000 So, again, he is pointing out a wild and sort of bizarre contradiction in the logic of the Federal Reserve, which I have to say politics plays in here.

00:33:51.000 The Federal Reserve doesn't like Trump.

00:33:52.000 They don't want Trump in office.

00:33:54.000 They clearly would like to see Kamala Harris be elected. 1.00

00:33:58.000 Elarian points out, Fed Chair Powell had to navigate the contradiction between the unusual step of starting a cutting cycle with a 50-basis point cut and the repeated assessment that the economy is in a good place.

00:34:08.000 This got trickier as, understandably, he didn't want to acknowledge that today's 50-basis point move is a catch-up for not having reduced rates in July.

00:34:16.000 So, it's all discombobulated.

00:34:19.000 It doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense, logically speaking.

00:34:25.000 But what is it really about?

00:34:26.000 What it's about is trying to generate an ersatz feeling of good momentum on the economy, despite the fact that, by the way, the Business Roundtable CEO Economic Outlook Index suggests that the job market is, in fact, slowing.

00:34:41.000 So is it slowing or is it solid?

00:34:42.000 We don't know.

00:34:43.000 Jerome Powell won't tell us.

00:34:44.000 Is inflation conquered or is it just coming down?

00:34:46.000 We don't know.

00:34:47.000 He won't tell us.

00:34:49.000 Meanwhile, Corinne Jean-Pierre has the nerve to suggest that it's all completely independent.

00:34:52.000 She says, no, we're completely independent of the Federal Reserve.

00:34:54.000 We have nothing to do with their decisions.

00:34:58.000 As you know, and we've been always very clear about this and very respectful of the independence of the Federal Reserve.

00:35:04.000 Unlike other administrations, we've been, I think, pretty steadfast about that and have been continuous in making that clear.

00:35:15.000 Oh, have you?

00:35:16.000 Have you?

00:35:16.000 Because I noticed that every major Democrat in the Senate has been calling for a lowering of interest rates for the last year and a half in an attempt to artificially jog the economy.

00:35:23.000 Okay, in just a moment, we'll get to the latest on the assassination attempt front, plus the latest from the Middle East.

00:35:30.000 First, the number one comedy in America, as you know, is Am I Racist?

00:35:33.000 The only way you can see it is in theaters.

00:35:35.000 A week ago, only our fans knew about Am I Racist coming to theaters.

00:35:38.000 Today, it is the number four movie in America, with a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, The incredible reviews are beginning to pour in.

00:35:45.000 Finally, he's getting some reviews.

00:35:46.000 Yesterday, Matt Walsh stopped by the world-famous Joe Rogan show to talk about the movie.

00:35:50.000 Take a listen to what Joe had to say about Am I Racist.

00:35:52.000 Your movie is really funny.

00:35:54.000 It's really funny.

00:35:55.000 By myself, laughing out loud hysterically today.

00:35:59.000 I watched it in the sauna.

00:36:01.000 I watched it in the gym.

00:36:02.000 I watched it... It was... It's one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time.

00:36:08.000 There's so many moments in it that are so uncomfortable.

00:36:11.000 You heard it from Joe Rogan.

00:36:12.000 Don't miss out on the movie.

00:36:13.000 It'll make you gasp, laugh, and cringe.

00:36:16.000 If you haven't yet seen Am I Racist, go to amiracist.com, get your tickets.

00:36:19.000 If you have seen Am I Racist, see it again this weekend.

00:36:21.000 I repeat, it's only in theaters, only place you can see it.

00:36:24.000 Keep the momentum going as we make history at the box office.

00:36:26.000 Head on over to amiracist.com right now.

00:36:29.000 Well, meanwhile, the attempts to lie Kamala Harris into the White House, those continue apace ProPublica, which is a far left outlet that routinely propagandizes on behalf of democratic causes.

00:36:39.000 They are now pushing A couple of lies about Georgia abortion restrictions. 0.98

00:36:46.000 This is pointed out today by Isaac Shore over at Mediaite.

00:36:49.000 In a pair of recent articles, ProPublica blamed the death of two Georgia women on the bill in Georgia that outlaws abortion once a fetus has a heartbeat, with exceptions for rape, incest, and health of the mother.

00:37:00.000 But those two stories of these two Georgia women have nothing to do with the Georgia bill. 0.96

00:37:05.000 There's a person named Amber Nicole Thurman.

00:37:07.000 She died in August 2022 after taking abortion pills.

00:37:11.000 They succeeded in killing the unborn twins growing inside her, but did not expel the remains.

00:37:16.000 She sought follow-up care at Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, Georgia to have the remains removed from her uterus.

00:37:22.000 ProPublica suggested, quote, abortion bans have delayed emergency medical care in Georgia.

00:37:26.000 Experts say this mother's death was preventable.

00:37:28.000 Well, there's only one problem.

00:37:30.000 She'd taken abortion pills. 0.77

00:37:31.000 The babies were dead.

00:37:33.000 She had not expelled the fetal tissue.

00:37:34.000 She showed up at the hospital in need of a DNC. 0.98

00:37:38.000 Okay, well, here's the thing.

00:37:39.000 It is not illegal in a dilation and curettage situation, not illegal in Georgia, to do a DNC on a dead fetus.

00:37:45.000 It is not illegal to remove a dead fetus.

00:37:48.000 So, it wouldn't have violated the law for them to do the thing.

00:37:52.000 The real problem is that this person was able to obtain an abortion pill at a fairly late stage in the pregnancy.

00:38:01.000 So it turns out that pills that Planned Parenthood said were safe and effective created a medical emergency.

00:38:05.000 Physicians were slow to provide treatment.

00:38:08.000 And somehow this is about Georgia abortion law.

00:38:10.000 And then they published a second article, blaming Georgia's restrictions on abortion for the death of another woman named Candy Miller in the fall of 2022.

00:38:18.000 Once again, Miller used abortion pills to seek to terminate her pregnancy. 1.00

00:38:22.000 Like Thurman, the pills did not work as intended.

00:38:24.000 They didn't expel all of the dead fetus.

00:38:28.000 According to ProPublica, Miller and her doctors feared the 41-year-old's pregnancy could be difficult and potentially dangerous due to her struggles with lupus, diabetes, and hypertension.

00:38:36.000 After she took the pills, she was in excruciating pain for a few days.

00:38:39.000 Her husband found her unresponsive in her bed.

00:38:41.000 An autopsy found a lot of painkillers, including fentanyl, in her system.

00:38:45.000 Her family told the coroner she hadn't visited a doctor due to current legislation on pregnancies and abortions.

00:38:51.000 But, again, She would have been able to obtain a DNT for the dead fetuses inside.

00:38:58.000 So ProPublica is just lying about these laws. 1.00

00:39:01.000 Which they have to.

00:39:02.000 Because the reality is, the actual rationale, unfortunately, for the death of both of these women seems to be misuse of abortion pills.

00:39:10.000 Which have now become widely available thanks to the FDA.

00:39:13.000 So, now they're gonna have to lie, Kamala, into the White House. 0.97

00:39:16.000 We all know it.

00:39:17.000 Meanwhile, we still have no further information on either the first assassination attempt against Donald Trump or the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

00:39:26.000 Even Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal says that the Department of Homeland Security is now stonewalling on the Trump assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

00:39:34.000 The response from the Department of Homeland Security has been totally lacking.

00:39:40.000 In fact, I think it's tantamount to stonewalling in many respects.

00:39:44.000 If necessary, I'll certainly support a subpoena.

00:39:49.000 It's kind of incredible that even Democrats are now acknowledging that DHS is doing a terrible job with regard to protecting Donald Trump.

00:39:56.000 Meanwhile, Chris Wray, head of the FBI, he says they're working around the clock on the second assassination attempt.

00:40:01.000 Well, I mean, you know what would be great is if you worked around the clock sufficient to give us the information necessary to determine what happened.

00:40:08.000 I mean, like, it's amazing how often these things seem to be memory hold.

00:40:13.000 We have dedicated the full force of the FBI to this investigation, and that runs the gamut from criminal to national security resources, from tactical support to evidence response teams, from forensic scientists to operational technology personnel, and I could go on.

00:40:32.000 Together, we're working around the clock to investigate this.

00:40:38.000 Now, unfortunately, one of the realities with regard to President Trump, as we've been saying for a while, is that when you spend 10 years declaring that he is Orange Hitler without the mustache, people start to take that seriously.

00:40:47.000 So yesterday on C-SPAN, a caller actually called and had to be cut off, saying that you should assassinate the President of the United States.

00:40:54.000 I mean, I suppose Secret Service will show up at this person's door, and I guess points for honesty?

00:40:58.000 I just want to say I'm a very patriotic American.

00:41:04.000 I did 20 years in the military.

00:41:06.000 I'm sorry, Willie, you're not advocating violence, are you?

00:41:08.000 66 when back in 60 and I look at myself and think about We'll pull as a military man

00:41:16.000 We pull the clothes with kill capitalist fraud and in by all means available and I see we let this man Trump destroy

00:41:22.000 America And I look at and see what these two people had to step up

00:41:26.000 and take that shot. I made it through nothing What I'm sorry, Willie. You're not advocating violence. Are

00:41:32.000 you?

00:41:33.000 Not violent. I'm gonna tell my defending my country Alright.

00:41:40.000 Well, you know.

00:41:42.000 He just keeps saying the same thing over and over and over.

00:41:44.000 Some people might take that seriously.

00:41:46.000 Okay, meanwhile, the other big story of the day is, of course, that Israel had a second round yesterday of things going boom.

00:41:53.000 It turns out that we now have some details about how exactly they made the pagers go boom.

00:41:57.000 Contrary to a bunch of dolts on Twitter, it turns out that it was not that Israel has the magical ability to make the cell phone in your pocket blow up. 1.00

00:42:05.000 That's stupid. 1.00

00:42:06.000 They can't blow up your iPhone in your pocket by heating up the battery or something dumb like that. 1.00

00:42:09.000 There was actual explosive material inside these pagers.

00:42:11.000 Not only that, they did not, as originally suspected, interdict an already created shipment for Hezbollah, like go to a factory in Iran, interdict it, put the explosives in, put the materials in that would make it blow up upon command.

00:42:25.000 Instead, Israel apparently created, the Mossad created, a fake beeper company They created an entire fake beeper company, complete with a couple of other associated companies to make it look legit.

00:42:35.000 They actually sold some real beepers to people, and then they somehow obtained the contract from Hezbollah to supply the beepers, and that's when they sold Hezbollah the acne-blowing-up-in-your-kidneys beeper. 0.70

00:42:48.000 And well done, Israel.

00:42:50.000 Like, truly well done.

00:42:51.000 Well, it gets better.

00:42:52.000 So, the reason that Hezbollah switched to beepers in the first place is because Israel had essentially hacked all of their iPhones and their cell phone capabilities. 0.65

00:43:00.000 So Israel had a good window into what they were doing intelligence-wise.

00:43:04.000 So, Hassan Nasrallah, the evil terror leader of Hezbollah, He had told his own people back in February, get rid of your cell phones and start using beepers.

00:43:14.000 And Israel's like, hey, got an idea. 0.86

00:43:17.000 So they put the bombs in the beepers.

00:43:20.000 So they blew them up a couple of days ago.

00:43:22.000 Crazy story.

00:43:23.000 Crazy, crazy.

00:43:23.000 Most targeted anti-terrorist strike in human history.

00:43:26.000 Not possible to strike more terrorists simultaneously.

00:43:29.000 More specifically than that, literally these beepers were only handed out to members of Hezbollah.

00:43:34.000 They were not in general use.

00:43:35.000 You could not pick one up at a local AT&T store.

00:43:38.000 There are a bunch of people out there who are saying this weird crap about, oh my God, now that Israel has done this, should you be worried about your toaster? 0.61

00:43:45.000 No, not unless you're a member of Hezbollah and you bought it from an Israeli front group. 0.96

00:43:49.000 I'm going to go with no. 1.00

00:43:50.000 I don't think that you need to be worried about your microwave today unless you joined Hezbollah and are using your microwave to receive messages from Hassan Nasrallah, you idiots. 1.00

00:43:58.000 So, Israel blew up the beepers. 1.00

00:44:00.000 So, that meant that Hezbollah needed a new comms system, right? 0.51

00:44:03.000 So they went to their backup.

00:44:04.000 Their backup was walkie-talkies.

00:44:06.000 Do you know what's coming next? 0.92

00:44:10.000 It turns out that Israel was also... And yes, I'm going to laugh at you if you're a terrorist who wants to murder Israeli citizens, for your own perverse reasons, Israeli citizens, you side with the murderers of Hamas, when you get blown up by your own walkie-talkie in something directly out of a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, because you bought it from Israeli Acme, I'm gonna laugh at you, and you deserve to be laughed at, because you deserve to be mocked, because your entire strategy is to terrorize people, but it turns out that you blew yourself up with a walkie-talkie. 0.88

00:44:45.000 So Israel blew up all the walkie-talkies yesterday, killed another several dozen members of Hezbollah, wounded several hundred more.

00:44:52.000 So this prompted the usual spasms of apoplexy from the usual suspects.

00:44:57.000 So as you would imagine, the Biden administration is doing this insane routine, like, oh my God, the chances for peace have plummeted.

00:45:05.000 They just broke peace.

00:45:07.000 They broke, they're escalating.

00:45:09.000 You know what escalated the situation on the Northern border?

00:45:12.000 That on October 8th, Hezbollah began firing rockets and hasn't stopped since.

00:45:15.000 They fired over 8,000 rockets into northern Israel, forcing the evacuation of the northern one-fourth, one-fifth of Israel.

00:45:22.000 Major cities evacuated, like 100,000 people not living in their homes.

00:45:25.000 So that was kind of an escalation.

00:45:27.000 And when you then launch the most innovative and specific counter-terrorist strike in the history of warfare, that doesn't seem like an escalation.

00:45:35.000 That seems like a, don't do that or we will blow up your pants. 0.81

00:45:41.000 That's what that seems like, a lot. 0.96

00:45:43.000 But that's how, the Biden administration, because they don't have a strategy in the Middle East, because they're weaklings and they're pathetic and they're cowards because of all of that, and because they completely misread the Middle East, were like, well, if you're very nice to people, people will be nice to you. 0.92

00:45:55.000 No, actually, that's not how it works in the Middle East or anywhere else on foreign policy. 0.94

00:45:59.000 The lack of moral clarity in foreign policy circles and a lack of, you know, intellectual clarity in those circles is pretty astonishing.

00:46:04.000 But here is the thing.

00:46:05.000 You don't have to have that lack of clarity if you go to a college, which is going to indoctrinate you in left-wing nonsense.

00:46:11.000 You might want to think about doing something else, like Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.

00:46:17.000 GCU believes we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:46:22.000 GCU believes in equal opportunity, and the American Dream starts with a purpose.

00:46:26.000 GCU equips you to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing and create a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come.

00:46:32.000 By honoring your career calling, you impact your family, your friends, and your community.

00:46:35.000 Whether you're pursuing that bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree, GCU's online, on-campus, and hybrid learning environments are designed to help you achieve your unique academic, personal, and professional goals.

00:46:45.000 With over 330 academic programs as of December 2023, GCU meets you where you are and provides a path to help you fulfill your dreams.

00:46:52.000 The pursuit to serve others is yours.

00:46:53.000 Find your purpose at Grand Canyon University.

00:46:56.000 Private.

00:46:56.000 Christian.

00:46:57.000 Affordable.

00:46:57.000 Visit gcu.edu.

00:47:00.000 That's gcu.edu.

00:47:01.000 Go check out Grand Canyon University today.

00:47:04.000 It turns out, if you want people to be nice to you and they're not your allies, the best way to make them be nice to you is to remind them that if they're not nice to you, their pants blow up.

00:47:12.000 It turns out that's a much better way to do things.

00:47:14.000 As Donald Trump, above all new, didn't stop the Biden administration from continuing this nonsense. 1.00

00:47:20.000 So Tony Blinken yesterday, who's very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable with Israel defending itself by killing terrorists or by blowing off their balls. 0.99

00:47:26.000 Very, very upset with Antony Blinken yesterday. 0.98

00:47:31.000 The United States did not know about, nor was it involved in, these incidents.

00:47:37.000 And we're still gathering the information and gathering the facts.

00:47:42.000 Oh, they're disturbed.

00:47:43.000 They're very, very worried.

00:47:44.000 Meanwhile, John Kirby, national security administration spokesperson, he says, you know, it's too soon to know if it's going to impact the peace talks.

00:47:51.000 What peace talks?

00:47:53.000 What peace talks?

00:47:54.000 Israel has offered a thousand times some sort of step phase one ceasefire.

00:48:00.000 Hamas has rejected every ceasefire.

00:48:01.000 Hezbollah has not offered anything.

00:48:03.000 Hezbollah just keeps firing rockets.

00:48:06.000 What ceasefire? 1.00

00:48:07.000 Like, there's such, honest to God, there's such idiots on foreign policy. 1.00

00:48:10.000 It's maddening. 1.00

00:48:11.000 It's completely maddening.

00:48:13.000 They just keep going, well, it's the same thing Kamala Harris does. 1.00

00:48:15.000 Well, we must reach a deal.

00:48:17.000 We need a deal.

00:48:18.000 What we really need is, in the end, a deal that achieves so many things for so many.

00:48:27.000 Yeah, well, you know, you got any suggestions?

00:48:29.000 I think everybody's willing to hear them at this point.

00:48:30.000 Any real suggestions?

00:48:32.000 Or do you just mean that you're going to blow up in a room with a bunch of diplomats who are Twiddling their thumbs while people get blown up.

00:48:38.000 Like, what's your plan?

00:48:39.000 Got any plan?

00:48:40.000 No?

00:48:41.000 No?

00:48:41.000 It's just gonna say diplomacy over and over?

00:48:43.000 Like it's a magic word?

00:48:44.000 Like abracadabra!

00:48:45.000 Diplomacy!

00:48:46.000 Two-state solution! 0.96

00:48:49.000 Low IQ dolts. 0.99

00:48:50.000 Anyway, here is John Kirby being like, I don't know. 0.92

00:48:52.000 It might hurt the prospects of peace.

00:48:54.000 Between Israel and a terror group that is violating UN resolutions for 20 years.

00:48:58.000 Yeah, good.

00:49:01.000 I think it's too soon to know if what happened over the last couple of days is going to have any effect on where we are with the ceasefire deal.

00:49:10.000 Sadly, we aren't any closer to that now than we were even a week ago, so it's difficult to see any immediate impact of these incidents, but I think it's just too soon to know in general.

00:49:26.000 I cannot imagine why the Iranians are attempting to back Kamala Harris, which they clearly are, according to the Associated Press. 0.88

00:49:32.000 Today, Iranian hackers sought to interest President Joe Biden's campaign in information stolen from Donald Trump's campaign, sending unsolicited emails to people associated with the then-Democratic candidate in an effort to interfere with the 2024 election.

00:49:45.000 There's no indication any of the recipients responded, said officials.

00:49:47.000 Several media organizations who have said they were also approached did not publish it.

00:49:52.000 Kamala Harris's presidential campaign called the emails from Iran unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity.

00:49:56.000 But that's not the question.

00:49:57.000 The question is, why does Iran want her to win?

00:50:00.000 Oh, I can't imagine.

00:50:02.000 It's a real, it's a real mystery wrapped in an enigma why they want Kamala Harris to win. 0.99

00:50:06.000 I mean, maybe if I had to guess, it has something to do with the fact that the Democratic Party is the party of the irrepressibly stupid and immoral Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who can mix a mean margarita, but has no brain cells working up there. 0.99

00:50:21.000 And certainly no moral spine. 1.00

00:50:23.000 A person who cried when she abstained from a vote to fund Israel's defensive Iron Dome.

00:50:28.000 So she tweeted out yesterday, quote, Israel's pager attack in Lebanon, like,

00:50:32.000 well, detonated thousands of handheld devices across a slew of public spaces,

00:50:36.000 seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians.

00:50:38.000 Okay, I wanna see some numbers.

00:50:39.000 Can we see some numbers?

00:50:40.000 Like really, they keep saying it's killing innocent civilians.

00:50:42.000 What's the ratio?

00:50:44.000 It turns out, urban warfare, civilians who are stationed next to Hezbollah members, who are terrorists, who are walking around in areas, some civilians get killed in military operations.

00:50:56.000 If that number is really small compared to the number of terrorists who are killed, that's what you would call a historic military success and one of the most humane missions in history.

00:51:07.000 I mean, you know what Israel could have done if they wanted to be inhumane? 0.58

00:51:10.000 You know what Israel would have done? 0.98

00:51:11.000 They would have packed a shitload more explosives in the beepers and in the walkie-talkies.

00:51:16.000 That's not what they did.

00:51:18.000 By the way, that is what terrorists actually do.

00:51:19.000 What terrorists actually do is what Iran famously did during the Iran-Iraq war.

00:51:25.000 They put what the Syrian government has done against the rebels.

00:51:28.000 They actually put bombs in actual toys.

00:51:31.000 They do what the Palestinians have done in the West Bank. 1.00

00:51:32.000 They put bombs in strollers.

00:51:35.000 They hide terror tunnels under children's bedrooms.

00:51:37.000 But Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who by the way, has not tweeted one time or had anything to say at all about Hezbollah's continuous rocket fire for a year.

00:51:46.000 Nothing.

00:51:46.000 She's literally never tweeted about it.

00:51:48.000 She says, the most specific targeted anti-terrorist strike in human history, without a doubt, using explosives so small that it didn't even kill the people upon whom the explosives were planted.

00:52:00.000 The vast majority of them were wounded, not killed, because the explosive was tiny.

00:52:05.000 She says that this is a real problem.

00:52:07.000 This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines U.S.

00:52:11.000 efforts to prevent a wider conflict.

00:52:13.000 Oh wow, yeah, the U.S.

00:52:14.000 efforts have been, they've been super successful, have they?

00:52:17.000 Mmm, yeah, you and your strategy.

00:52:19.000 Israel's only under fire from seven different fronts, and all shipping is closed in the Red Sea.

00:52:23.000 You guys are doing a bang-up job over there.

00:52:24.000 It says Congress needs a full accounting of the attack, including an answer from the State Department as to whether any U.S.

00:52:29.000 assistance went into development or deployment of this technology.

00:52:33.000 I mean, the answer is no, it didn't.

00:52:35.000 The United States was not even informed, because Israel doesn't trust the Biden-Harris administration not to leak that to the Iranians. 0.75

00:52:41.000 But this is where your humanitarian bone kicks in.

00:52:44.000 I just get the feeling that if Israel kills people, you assume that Israel is bad because you want Israel not to be able to defend itself.

00:52:53.000 That seems like the motive.

00:52:55.000 Just to get this straight, when Israel developed the single best urban combat Strategy in human history in Gaza. 0.72

00:53:03.000 That's a genocide, according to you people.

00:53:05.000 And then when they get even more specific and kill only Ismail Khania, that's bad because it undermines peace processes.

00:53:10.000 And then when they blow up a bunch of terrorists with beepers handed out by Hezbollah on their bodies, that's bad too. 0.72

00:53:17.000 I just get the feeling you want Israel to lose.

00:53:18.000 That's just, I don't know.

00:53:20.000 It's a weird thing.

00:53:20.000 Bernie Sanders doing the same exact routine.

00:53:23.000 That old joke of a Soviet-style socialist?

00:53:26.000 Netanyahu's right-wing extremist government is violating international and U.S.

00:53:30.000 law and has created the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

00:53:33.000 Actually, it's Hamas who's created the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. 0.98

00:53:38.000 And I always love when Bernie Sanders and the rest of these absolutely brain-dead cretins say things like, it's Netanyahu's right-wing extremist government. 1.00

00:53:48.000 It's called the Elected Government of the State of Israel. 0.98

00:53:51.000 It was a unity government until about three months ago.

00:53:55.000 There is no Israeli government that would not have performed the operation yesterday.

00:53:58.000 The Israeli military, by the way, at the upper echelons, is dominated by people who don't like Bibi Netanyahu.

00:54:03.000 This is well-known inside of Israel.

00:54:06.000 The generals at the IDF are not fond of Bibi Netanyahu, and the feeling is rather mutual.

00:54:12.000 They are the ones who recommended the operations.

00:54:14.000 Sanders said, He just wants Israel to lose.

00:54:22.000 That's all.

00:54:23.000 He wants Hamas to win. 0.95

00:54:25.000 He wants Hezbollah to win. 0.99

00:54:26.000 That's all you can take away from this.

00:54:28.000 His tweets sound exactly like those of Antonio Guterres, the head of the despicable United Nations.

00:54:34.000 And I wish Donald Trump would promise today to not just remove funding from the UNRWA, which, of course, he did when he was president, He should pledge to withdraw the United States from the United Nations, tear down the buildings on American soil, save us billions of dollars, salt the Earth. 0.97

00:54:49.000 The UN is a trash heap. 0.96

00:54:50.000 It's always been a trash heap. 1.00

00:54:52.000 It is a legitimization device for some of the worst regimes on planet Earth and for complete moral turds like Antonio Guterres. 0.97

00:55:01.000 Quote, I'm deeply alarmed by reports that a large number of communication devices exploded across Lebanon and Syria, killing at least 11 people, including children and injuring thousands.

00:55:10.000 All actors must exercise maximum restraint to avert any further escalation.

00:55:13.000 Oh, well, yes.

00:55:14.000 Well, weird, because Hezbollah has not exercised any restraint.

00:55:17.000 I remember when there was a UN resolution, a UN resolution that dictated that the UN would occupy southern Lebanon so as to prevent this sort of conflict.

00:55:26.000 And then where are, where's the, where are, I feel like some answer, unanswered, where is the UN?

00:55:30.000 Where are all those UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon preventing this conflict?

00:55:34.000 Oh, you mean they just handed it over to Lebanon?

00:55:36.000 They just handed it over to Hezbollah?

00:55:37.000 Weird.

00:55:39.000 Very strange.

00:55:39.000 And when he says, well, they just injured thousands.

00:55:43.000 Do thousands of people carry around Hezbollah beepers?

00:55:45.000 Why?

00:55:46.000 By the way, when's the last time you carried around a beeper?

00:55:49.000 Did I miss, did I misread my calendar?

00:55:51.000 Is it actually 1997?

00:55:51.000 Are you, are you really worried about your Nokia beeper going off right now?

00:55:56.000 How many of you in my audience?

00:55:58.000 How many are you carrying around a beeper?

00:55:59.000 Like this moment?

00:56:01.000 The answer is zero.

00:56:03.000 How many are members of Hezbollah carrying around a beeper?

00:56:06.000 Other than tangential members of Rashida Tlaib's staff?

00:56:10.000 None?

00:56:11.000 Oh, weird, weird.

00:56:14.000 Again, you can see the underlying message is oh so clear.

00:56:19.000 These people don't give a damn about international law.

00:56:21.000 They've had nothing to say about Hezbollah or Hamas this entire time.

00:56:24.000 They just want Israel blown off the map. 0.94

00:56:26.000 That's what they want, and they're pretty clear about it.

00:56:30.000 And hiding behind humanitarianism is just the latest guise.

00:56:33.000 In the same way the left hides behind free speech in order to promote methodologies that destroy free speech and freedom of religion and freedom to bear arms and all the rest of your freedoms, they are constantly using the arguments that they hate in order to forward the interests and powers that they align with.

00:56:51.000 Oh, humanitarian law.

00:56:53.000 But Hamas is fine. 0.99

00:56:54.000 So is Hezbollah. 0.93

00:56:55.000 So is what's going on in Congo.

00:56:56.000 So is what's going on in Syria.

00:56:57.000 All over the world.

00:56:58.000 Totally fine. 1.00

00:56:59.000 It's really just those dastardly Jews. 1.00

00:57:02.000 Alrighty, coming up. 0.99

00:57:03.000 Sunny Hostin over at The View.

00:57:05.000 She has a perspective on Brittany Mahomes.

00:57:07.000 Brittany Holmes is apparently very, very bad. 0.99

00:57:09.000 She's bad because she posted something pro-Donald Trump.

00:57:23.000 Growing up, I never thought much about race. 0.95

00:57:25.000 It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.

00:57:28.000 Am I racist?

00:57:29.000 I would really appreciate it if you left.

00:57:30.000 I'm trying to learn.

00:57:31.000 I'm on this journey.

00:57:32.000 I'm gonna sort this out.

00:57:33.000 I need to go deeper undercover.

00:57:38.000 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.

00:57:41.000 Here's my certifications.

00:57:42.000 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. 0.71

00:57:45.000 There's more for you in this field.

00:57:46.000 Is America inherently racist?

00:57:48.000 The word inherent is challenging there.

00:57:50.000 You want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument?

00:57:53.000 America is racist to its bones.

00:57:55.000 So inherently? 0.98

00:57:55.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:57:56.000 This country is a piece of... 0.99

00:57:59.000 White. 0.97

00:58:05.000 Does he not exist?

00:58:06.000 Hi, Robin.

00:58:08.000 Hi.

00:58:08.000 What's your name?

00:58:09.000 I'm Matt.

00:58:10.000 I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.

00:58:13.000 Never been too careful.
