Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a deadlock in the polls in the crucial swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. What does that mean for the rest of the country? Is this a dead heat, or is it a race for the presidency? And who's going to win in the end? All that and much more on today's election night edition of The FiveThirtyEight Hourly Political Wrap-up. Plus, a brand new set of polls with regard to the swing states are out, and it's still unclear exactly who's winning in the various swing states, and what that means for the outcome of the election. Plus, the latest on the latest in the Senate race between Kamala and Tim Kaine, and why she's probably not going to beat him in either of them, no matter what happens in Tuesday night's election. And a look at why the Democratic primary is so close and why it's not even close at this point in the race at all other polling places. Also, a reminder: Kamala is not running for president because she doesn't know what she s running for, and because she's running for something she doesn t know anything, and that's not a good thing, which is why she needs to get out there and vote for someone who does know what they re running for her to have a chance to win the election in order to have an actual chance of winning. And that's why she should run for president in November. Vote for her! Get your tickets to Am I Racist? Get tickets and showtimes for her show in theaters now.

00:00:00.000So you remember that time that Kamala Harris was the greatest candidate since ever?
00:00:04.000She 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.
00:00:13.000We'll bring you the latest on that momentarily.
00:00:20.000Get tickets and showtimes for your local theaters right now at www.amiracist.com and show the left that they don't just control everything.
00:00:26.000They don't even control their own preserves and domains like Hollywood.
00:00:30.000Alrighty, so, brand new set of polls out with regard to the swing states.
00:00:35.000Bottom line is they're very, very tight.
00:00:57.000However, a brand new Washington Post poll shows Trump effectively tied with Kamala Harris.
00:01:02.000When 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.
00:01:15.000A margin of error just means That there is, in fact, a margin in which the error is covered.
00:01:22.000Meaning 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%.
00:01:29.000It is totally unclear where that race is.
00:01:33.000So, numbers that are within the margin of error don't actually mean very much.
00:01:37.000And pretty much all of these polls are within the margin of error.
00:01:40.000The Quinnipiac poll, by contrast, has Pennsylvania at Harris 51, Trump 45, Michigan at Harris 50, Trump 45, but Wisconsin at Harris 48, Trump 47.
00:01:52.000Now remember, if Trump carries North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, and then he picks up Wisconsin, he still wins the election.
00:01:58.000So, what that means is that this race is as tight as it is possible for a race to be tight.
00:02:03.000By the way, some of these Senate races are starting to tighten up as well.
00:02:05.000That 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.
00:02:19.000Again, 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.
00:02:27.000Since 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.
00:02:35.000A Marist College poll showed the race tied.
00:02:37.000So, again, these polls are showing that nobody really knows.
00:02:41.000It'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.
00:02:50.000Maybe they're now measuring the other way.
00:02:52.000It'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.
00:02:58.000Very few opinions are going to switch.
00:03:00.000If they do switch, they will likely switch in favor of President Trump.
00:03:03.000Kamala Harris is not doing amazingly with independents.
00:03:22.000If the Trump team does the turnout work that they need to.
00:03:26.000With that said, the race is getting tighter in many of these swing states, not less tight.
00:03:30.000So 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.
00:03:42.000He says that the Electoral College probability of Trump winning the Electoral College is 52%, Harris at 47.6%, which is effectively a dead heat.
00:03:52.000Right now, if he had to predict the number of electoral votes, however, Kamala Harris would probably win.
00:04:11.000Try to hide it, which is a pretty good indicator she's going to be a terrible president.
00:04:15.000If 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.
00:04:23.000By the numbers, Harris has been a candidate.
00:04:24.000This is according to Axios, which is an allied media outlet for the Democrat administration.
00:04:30.000Harris has been a candidate for 59 days and Tim Walz for 44 days.
00:04:34.000During those 59 days, Donald Trump and J.D.
00:04:36.000Vance have participated in more than 70 interviews and press conferences with TV and print reporters.
00:04:42.000Harris and Walz have taken part in seven.
00:04:47.000Vance alone has participated in more than seven times more interviews and press conferences than Harris and Walz combined during that time.
00:04:56.000Harris 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.

00:07:00.000You mean, I think you're talking about talking right now.
00:07:05.000So they continue to try and gas this vehicle through the election on vibes alone.
00:07:11.000So, 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.
00:07:25.000Well, I mean, congrajuh-fricken-lations.
00:07:29.000Talk about things that you cannot actually control.
00:07:31.000It turns out you can't control who your parents are.
00:07:37.000There'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.
00:07:45.000That's what we would call stupid talk.
00:07:50.000This 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.
00:08:12.000Not 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.
00:08:24.000Our 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.
00:08:38.000People like Vladimir Putin are going to say, hey, wait a minute.
00:08:41.000These guys, you know, they truly have democratic country.
00:10:07.000Those are just facts that predate her birth and have nothing to do with her character or whether she'll be a good president.
00:10:12.000When somebody switches accents that often, it's a little weird.
00:10:15.000If somebody did that in your life, like every time they went into it, it's the most patronizing thing.
00:10:19.000You 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.
00:10:28.000And everybody was like, that's ridiculous.
00:10:36.000So 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.
00:10:44.000And when she is speaking to black people, suddenly she's talking like Michael Eric Dyson.
00:10:49.000And 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.
00:11:35.000And if anyone in your family did this, you'd think they were sociopathic.
00:11:38.000If 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?
00:11:48.000Elizabeth 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.
00:12:54.000Despite their lies, this has happened.
00:12:56.000A 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.
00:13:05.000Here's the thing, we're not going to stand for this.
00:13:06.000Preborn is a longtime sponsor of the show and they're fighting back.
00:13:09.000They've positioned their clinics in the areas with the highest abortion rates, ready to support moms facing unplanned pregnancies.
00:13:43.000Every donation is tax deductible, goes directly to defending the defenseless.
00:13:46.000Let's show the left we don't just talk about protecting life, we actually do it.
00:13:50.000I'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.
00:14:00.000I 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.
00:14:47.000By the way, it could only contain the laugh for so long.
00:14:49.000The 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.
00:14:55.000She 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.
00:15:15.000I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community.
00:15:20.000Oh, is that what you grew up understanding?
00:15:31.000Meanwhile, I do love that Hillary Clinton has now become the greatest spokesperson for Kamala Harris.
00:15:36.000In 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.
00:15:43.000One of the reasons is because she has to try to out-surrogate Hillary Clinton.
00:15:46.000So here's Hillary Clinton, who literally says it's a double standard to ask Kamala about her policies.
00:16:24.000She actually doesn't just have policies and concepts.
00:16:27.000She has, you know, plans about what to do.
00:16:29.000I think it's a, you know, it's a double standard.
00:16:34.000And 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?
00:18:04.000Black 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.
00:18:21.000Oh, Democrats said that it's perfectly fine.
00:18:24.000Why, 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.
00:18:30.000Now, 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.
00:18:38.000It is perfectly obvious, by the way, from the voting of the Teamsters.
00:18:41.000So the Teamsters take a poll before they decide whether to endorse somebody.
00:18:44.000Yesterday, the Teamsters decided not to endorse anybody, which is kind of a shock, because typically they support the Democrat.
00:18:52.000The 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%.
00:19:03.000That's a nine-point lead for the Democrat.
00:19:07.000With Kamala Harris in the race, here is the actual result of the electronic poll.
00:19:24.000Is that because they believe that Kamala Harris is significantly less pro-union than Joe Biden?
00:19:29.000Or 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.
00:19:41.000And they look at Kamala Harris and they say, this is a person who disdains masculinity.
00:19:46.000This 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.
00:20:02.000A peculiar soft spot for my dislike of Doug Emhoff, given his faux jury, which he trots out at every possible opportunity.
00:20:11.000In any case, there is something happening that's happening under the surface.
00:20:15.000And it's sort of a reverse Obama effect.
00:20:17.000So back in 2008, people were real proud to vote for Obama.
00:20:21.000People were taking photos of themselves in the voting booth, voting for Barack Obama to show all their friends how tolerant and diverse they were.
00:20:27.000With 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.
00:20:37.000But when they are quietly polled by their own union members, for example, they shift their viewpoint.
00:20:45.000For 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.
00:20:56.000And everyone's been talking about the upsides of Harris, that Democratic enthusiasm is up.
00:21:00.000They'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.
00:21:09.000What they're not talking about is the fact that Joe Biden actually had some crossover potential with particularly white, blue-collar males.
00:21:16.000And 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.
00:21:31.000That sort of attitude has a very negative implication for a lot of people in this country who don't feel comfortable with Kamala Harris.
00:21:39.000A 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.
00:21:46.000Well, dudes have been almost completely disregarded by the Democratic Party, but dudes have some unique problems that there are solutions to.
00:21:55.000This dual-action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis, Sildenafil and Tadalafil, into one formidable treatment.
00:22:03.000It's not merely about what's inside the pills, it's more about their mode of delivery.
00:22:06.000RoseSparks leverages the benefits of sublingual administration, meaning the tablet dissolves under your tongue.
00:22:10.000This method allows for fast absorption directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.
00:22:53.000Now, you always have to leave it to the Teamsters.
00:22:55.000The 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.
00:23:08.000So the General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters elected not to endorse any candidate for U.S.
00:23:15.000And 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.
00:23:30.000Okay, so why didn't the union just endorse Trump?
00:23:32.000Quote, the union's extensive member polling showed no majority support for Vice President Harris and no universal support among the membership for President Trump.
00:24:54.000That means there needs to be, in order to ensure Kamala's victory, some sort of outside force that pushes her to victory.
00:25:01.000Now, the problem for Kamala Harris in this race, there aren't going to be any more debates.
00:25:05.000There are very few events that would seem to cut in her favor.
00:25:08.000If 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.
00:25:14.000That's going to cut against Biden-Harris, because she's the VP who's failed to prevent it.
00:25:19.000If there's an economic collapse, that cuts against Kamala Harris.
00:25:22.000If there's any piece of really bad data in the country right now, it cuts against the incumbent, always.
00:25:26.000Because bad news always cuts against the incumbent.
00:25:29.000There is one piece of news that could be released and manipulated in order to try and help Kamala Harris, and it happened yesterday.
00:25:34.000So yesterday, the Federal Reserve cut the interest rates by half a percentage point.
00:25:40.000That is the boldest start in making its first reduction since 2020.
00:25:45.00011 of the 12 fed voters backed the cut and brought the benchmark federal funds rate to a range between 4.75% and 5%.
00:25:53.000Quarterly 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.
00:26:05.000Now, 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.
00:26:16.000Two, the economy is still pretty hot, meaning that unemployment numbers are still not radically up.
00:26:32.000You can say, okay, we need to gradually inject more money into the economy.
00:26:36.000Listen, my feeling is that interest rates should be free-floating and not manipulated by the Federal Reserve at all.
00:26:42.000I 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.
00:26:52.000It seems to me that the free market should decide exactly how interest rates float.
00:26:58.000And sometimes the interest rates need to go up in order to clean out bubbles.
00:27:01.000And when that doesn't happen, you end up growing bubbles, and then eventually the bubbles burst to much worse effect.
00:27:07.000However, the notion that the Federal Reserve had to go 50 basis points here seems a little spurious.
00:27:13.000Well, the financial health of the nation is on precarious footing, but there's something just as important to you, your actual health.
00:27:19.000The left loves to push woke agendas on pretty much everything, including men's health products.
00:28:34.000Go check that out right now if you want to understand this stuff a little bit better.
00:28:38.000The federal governor, Michelle Bowman, dissented against Wednesday's decision in favor of a smaller quarter point cut.
00:28:43.000Bowman was appointed by Trump in 2018 and became the first governor to dissent against an interest rate decision since 2005.
00:28:48.000It was the first dissent by any voter on the rate-setting committee since June 2022.
00:28:52.000This is just the sixth time in the past 30 years the central bank switched from raising to lowering rates.
00:29:00.000Usually 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.
00:29:13.000So, they're going to start lowering the interest rates again.
00:29:15.000There are a few reasons they're doing that.
00:29:16.000One 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.
00:29:26.000In 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.
00:30:12.000That means that stocks are overvalued.
00:30:14.000That 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.
00:30:19.000Investors 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.
00:30:30.000They're presumably going to do the same in real estate.
00:30:32.000The problem is that the interest rates in real estate remain higher than they were, say, five or six years ago.
00:30:37.000So 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.
00:31:24.000That's a point made by Mohamed El-Erian of Allianz.
00:31:28.000So here is Jerome Powell of the Federal Reserve trying to justify this.
00:31:32.000Here he was saying that their patient approach has paid dividends.
00:31:35.000If 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.
00:31:44.000Don't strain your shoulder patting yourself on the back too hard here.
00:31:48.000Our patient approach over the past year has paid dividends.
00:31:52.000Inflation is now much closer to our objective, and we have gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2%.
00:32:00.000Well, it's moving sustainably toward 2%, but it isn't there yet, is it?
00:32:06.000Meanwhile, he said that the decision reflects a confidence in the labor market that it can be maintained.
00:32:13.000So, 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.
00:32:19.000If 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?
00:32:29.000Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to reduce the degree of policy restraint by lowering our policy interest rate by a half percentage point.
00:32:38.000This 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%.
00:33:06.000And he points out an article from an economy reporter from the New York Times named Gianna Smialek,
00:33:12.000who says, people with jobs have started showing up at homeless shelters in Atlanta. Families who
00:33:16.000can't cover their grocery bills are pushing up demand at a Boston food bank. A dearth of available
00:33:20.000housing is plaguing Sacramento. Yet reports of recent raises abound, and a partly retired
00:33:24.000homeowner near Pittsburgh is happy about his savings.
00:33:27.000America's bout of painfully high inflation and the period of high interest rates meant to
00:33:30.000cure it is finally drawing to a close.
00:33:32.000But even as the nation's tumultuous pandemic economy era begins to approach its end, the period is destined to leave lingering marks.
00:33:40.000So, 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.
00:33:51.000The Federal Reserve doesn't like Trump.
00:33:54.000They clearly would like to see Kamala Harris be elected.
00:33:58.000Elarian 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.
00:34:08.000This 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.
00:34:26.000What 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.
00:35:16.000Because 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.
00:35:23.000Okay, in just a moment, we'll get to the latest on the assassination attempt front, plus the latest from the Middle East.
00:35:30.000First, the number one comedy in America, as you know, is Am I Racist?
00:35:33.000The only way you can see it is in theaters.
00:35:35.000A week ago, only our fans knew about Am I Racist coming to theaters.
00:35:38.000Today, it is the number four movie in America, with a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, The incredible reviews are beginning to pour in.
00:36:13.000It'll make you gasp, laugh, and cringe.
00:36:16.000If you haven't yet seen Am I Racist, go to amiracist.com, get your tickets.
00:36:19.000If you have seen Am I Racist, see it again this weekend.
00:36:21.000I repeat, it's only in theaters, only place you can see it.
00:36:24.000Keep the momentum going as we make history at the box office.
00:36:26.000Head on over to amiracist.com right now.
00:36:29.000Well, 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.
00:36:39.000They are now pushing A couple of lies about Georgia abortion restrictions.
00:36:46.000This is pointed out today by Isaac Shore over at Mediaite.
00:36:49.000In 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.
00:37:00.000But those two stories of these two Georgia women have nothing to do with the Georgia bill.
00:37:05.000There's a person named Amber Nicole Thurman.
00:37:07.000She died in August 2022 after taking abortion pills.
00:37:11.000They succeeded in killing the unborn twins growing inside her, but did not expel the remains.
00:37:16.000She sought follow-up care at Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, Georgia to have the remains removed from her uterus.
00:37:22.000ProPublica suggested, quote, abortion bans have delayed emergency medical care in Georgia.
00:37:26.000Experts say this mother's death was preventable.
00:37:39.000It is not illegal in a dilation and curettage situation, not illegal in Georgia, to do a DNC on a dead fetus.
00:37:45.000It is not illegal to remove a dead fetus.
00:37:48.000So, it wouldn't have violated the law for them to do the thing.
00:37:52.000The real problem is that this person was able to obtain an abortion pill at a fairly late stage in the pregnancy.
00:38:01.000So it turns out that pills that Planned Parenthood said were safe and effective created a medical emergency.
00:38:05.000Physicians were slow to provide treatment.
00:38:08.000And somehow this is about Georgia abortion law.
00:38:10.000And 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.
00:38:18.000Once again, Miller used abortion pills to seek to terminate her pregnancy.
00:38:22.000Like Thurman, the pills did not work as intended.
00:38:24.000They didn't expel all of the dead fetus.
00:38:28.000According 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.
00:38:36.000After she took the pills, she was in excruciating pain for a few days.
00:38:39.000Her husband found her unresponsive in her bed.
00:38:41.000An autopsy found a lot of painkillers, including fentanyl, in her system.
00:38:45.000Her family told the coroner she hadn't visited a doctor due to current legislation on pregnancies and abortions.
00:38:51.000But, again, She would have been able to obtain a DNT for the dead fetuses inside.
00:38:58.000So ProPublica is just lying about these laws.
00:39:17.000Meanwhile, we still have no further information on either the first assassination attempt against Donald Trump or the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
00:39:26.000Even Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal says that the Department of Homeland Security is now stonewalling on the Trump assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
00:39:34.000The response from the Department of Homeland Security has been totally lacking.
00:39:40.000In fact, I think it's tantamount to stonewalling in many respects.
00:39:44.000If necessary, I'll certainly support a subpoena.
00:39:49.000It's kind of incredible that even Democrats are now acknowledging that DHS is doing a terrible job with regard to protecting Donald Trump.
00:39:56.000Meanwhile, Chris Wray, head of the FBI, he says they're working around the clock on the second assassination attempt.
00:40:01.000Well, 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.
00:40:08.000I mean, like, it's amazing how often these things seem to be memory hold.
00:40:13.000We 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.
00:40:32.000Together, we're working around the clock to investigate this.
00:40:38.000Now, 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.
00:40:47.000So 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.
00:40:54.000I mean, I suppose Secret Service will show up at this person's door, and I guess points for honesty?
00:40:58.000I just want to say I'm a very patriotic American.
00:41:42.000He just keeps saying the same thing over and over and over.
00:41:44.000Some people might take that seriously.
00:41:46.000Okay, meanwhile, the other big story of the day is, of course, that Israel had a second round yesterday of things going boom.
00:41:53.000It turns out that we now have some details about how exactly they made the pagers go boom.
00:41:57.000Contrary 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.
00:42:06.000They can't blow up your iPhone in your pocket by heating up the battery or something dumb like that.
00:42:09.000There was actual explosive material inside these pagers.
00:42:11.000Not 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.
00:42:25.000Instead, 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.
00:42:35.000They 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.
00:42:52.000So, 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.
00:43:00.000So Israel had a good window into what they were doing intelligence-wise.
00:43:04.000So, 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.
00:43:35.000You could not pick one up at a local AT&T store.
00:43:38.000There 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?
00:43:45.000No, not unless you're a member of Hezbollah and you bought it from an Israeli front group.
00:43:50.000I 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.
00:44:10.000It 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.
00:44:45.000So Israel blew up all the walkie-talkies yesterday, killed another several dozen members of Hezbollah, wounded several hundred more.
00:44:52.000So this prompted the usual spasms of apoplexy from the usual suspects.
00:44:57.000So as you would imagine, the Biden administration is doing this insane routine, like, oh my God, the chances for peace have plummeted.
00:45:27.000And when you then launch the most innovative and specific counter-terrorist strike in the history of warfare, that doesn't seem like an escalation.
00:45:35.000That seems like a, don't do that or we will blow up your pants.
00:45:43.000But 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.
00:45:55.000No, actually, that's not how it works in the Middle East or anywhere else on foreign policy.
00:45:59.000The lack of moral clarity in foreign policy circles and a lack of, you know, intellectual clarity in those circles is pretty astonishing.
00:46:05.000You 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.
00:46:11.000You might want to think about doing something else, like Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:46:17.000GCU believes we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:46:22.000GCU believes in equal opportunity, and the American Dream starts with a purpose.
00:46:26.000GCU equips you to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing and create a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come.
00:46:32.000By honoring your career calling, you impact your family, your friends, and your community.
00:46:35.000Whether 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.
00:46:45.000With over 330 academic programs as of December 2023, GCU meets you where you are and provides a path to help you fulfill your dreams.
00:47:01.000Go check out Grand Canyon University today.
00:47:04.000It 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.
00:47:12.000It turns out that's a much better way to do things.
00:47:14.000As Donald Trump, above all new, didn't stop the Biden administration from continuing this nonsense.
00:47:20.000So Tony Blinken yesterday, who's very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable with Israel defending itself by killing terrorists or by blowing off their balls.
00:47:26.000Very, very upset with Antony Blinken yesterday.
00:47:31.000The United States did not know about, nor was it involved in, these incidents.
00:47:37.000And we're still gathering the information and gathering the facts.
00:47:44.000Meanwhile, 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.
00:48:32.000Or 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.
00:49:01.000I 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.
00:49:10.000Sadly, 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.
00:49:26.000I cannot imagine why the Iranians are attempting to back Kamala Harris, which they clearly are, according to the Associated Press.
00:49:32.000Today, 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.
00:49:45.000There's no indication any of the recipients responded, said officials.
00:49:47.000Several media organizations who have said they were also approached did not publish it.
00:49:52.000Kamala Harris's presidential campaign called the emails from Iran unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity.
00:50:02.000It's a real, it's a real mystery wrapped in an enigma why they want Kamala Harris to win.
00:50:06.000I 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.
00:50:44.000It 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.
00:50:56.000If 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.
00:51:07.000I mean, you know what Israel could have done if they wanted to be inhumane?
00:51:35.000They hide terror tunnels under children's bedrooms.
00:51:37.000But 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.
00:51:46.000She's literally never tweeted about it.
00:51:48.000She 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.
00:52:00.000The vast majority of them were wounded, not killed, because the explosive was tiny.
00:53:20.000Bernie Sanders doing the same exact routine.
00:53:23.000That old joke of a Soviet-style socialist?
00:53:26.000Netanyahu's right-wing extremist government is violating international and U.S.
00:53:30.000law and has created the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
00:53:33.000Actually, it's Hamas who's created the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
00:53:38.000And 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.
00:53:48.000It's called the Elected Government of the State of Israel.
00:53:51.000It was a unity government until about three months ago.
00:53:55.000There is no Israeli government that would not have performed the operation yesterday.
00:53:58.000The Israeli military, by the way, at the upper echelons, is dominated by people who don't like Bibi Netanyahu.
00:54:26.000That's all you can take away from this.
00:54:28.000His tweets sound exactly like those of Antonio Guterres, the head of the despicable United Nations.
00:54:34.000And 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.
00:54:52.000It is a legitimization device for some of the worst regimes on planet Earth and for complete moral turds like Antonio Guterres.
00:55:01.000Quote, 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.
00:55:10.000All actors must exercise maximum restraint to avert any further escalation.
00:55:14.000Well, weird, because Hezbollah has not exercised any restraint.
00:55:17.000I 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.
00:55:26.000And then where are, where's the, where are, I feel like some answer, unanswered, where is the UN?
00:55:30.000Where are all those UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon preventing this conflict?
00:55:34.000Oh, you mean they just handed it over to Lebanon?
00:55:36.000They just handed it over to Hezbollah?
00:56:14.000Again, you can see the underlying message is oh so clear.
00:56:19.000These people don't give a damn about international law.
00:56:21.000They've had nothing to say about Hezbollah or Hamas this entire time.
00:56:24.000They just want Israel blown off the map.
00:56:26.000That's what they want, and they're pretty clear about it.
00:56:30.000And hiding behind humanitarianism is just the latest guise.
00:56:33.000In 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.
