Megan Thee Stallion teaches me a lesson about true equality and female empowerment. Joe Biden is in Europe, but he has no idea he s in Europe. And the Chinese and Russians are about to eat Biden s lunch. This is the Ben Shapiro Show, and it is sponsored by ExpressVPN. Don t like big tech and the government spying on you? Visit ExpressVPN for the actual news in just a moment, and get to all the actual nuggets in a moment! But first, I rarely do this, but today I have a really important confession to make. See, I used to believe that women deserved respect because of all the incredible things they do and accomplish. I looked to my wife as a model for a woman who deserves respect. A wife, a mother of three, a community member, a wonderful person. But I have rethought all of that because of a new Megan Thee Stellion video, and whole vistas of philosophy were made available to me. New revelations with regard to human excellence were divulged. I was made aware of this video because some viewers notified me that the reviewers had said that the video was directed at me. To which I responded, What does Thought mean? And also, isn t that a woman named Meghan Thee stellion, when it should actually specify the definite article? And then I watched her stunning music video and a whole series of philosophy was divulged to me, and I was converted to Meghan's brilliant worldview, and a new perspective on human excellence. Yes, Yes, the meaning of female empowerment is to be found in my own self-portrayal in a poem by Shakespeare's Anvil, by Thor's Great Hammer, the extraordinary non-objection and empowerment by Thor s Great hammer. And we can do little but gape in awe at her astonishing, inspiring intellect, and an icon of such genius, and we can go on, and so on and so forth. The true beauty lies within your own self, to be profiting from my own narcissist to be Profiting from your own profiting in profiting, profiting profited from profiting. Ben Shapiro - The Song: "Post Me a pic, Finna Make Me a Profit"? by Meghan T. is a song that we all should be lit since brunch, that's order 42 for the table, that s a raki style? by Odin s Beard, the heartbreaking wisdom, can t nip the beat live?
00:00:24.000Get to all the actual news in just a moment.
00:00:25.000But first, I rarely do this, but today I have a really important confession to make.
00:00:34.000I've rethought my entire perspective on equality, femininity, female empowerment.
00:00:39.000See, I used to believe that women deserved respect because of all the incredible things they do and accomplish.
00:00:45.000I looked to my wife as a model for a woman who deserves respect.
00:00:48.000A wife, a mother of three, doctor, community member, a wonderful person.
00:00:53.000But I have rethought all of that because of a new Megan Thee Stallion video, brilliantly titled, I was made aware of this video because some of my viewers notified me.
00:01:05.000The reviewers of the video had said that the song, Thought, was directed at me.
00:01:10.000To which I responded, what does Thought mean?
00:01:12.000And also, isn't Megan Thee Stallion, the woman who for some reason has a middle name that means you, when it should actually just specify the definite article?
00:01:20.000But then I watched her stunning music video and whole vistas of philosophy were made available to me.
00:01:26.000New revelations with regard to human excellence were divulged.
00:01:33.000I was converted to Megan Thee Stallion's brilliant worldview.
00:01:37.000As Balaam's ass made to him known the wishes of the divine, so too did Megan Thee Stallion's ass make known to all of us the platonic meaning of true womanhood.
00:01:47.000For truly, civilization has rarely been graced with a poet of such magnificence, a genius of such magnitude, an icon of such genius.
00:01:59.000But first, I wish to share her revelation, and it is a revelation, with us all.
00:02:05.000For Megan Thee Stallion, yes my friends, Thee Stallion is not the mere definite article, but within you, comes to share a message.
00:02:13.000And we can do little but gape in awe at her astonishing, inspiring intellect, insight, sagacity, Ah, ye gods, that we should have twerking among us such a paradigm of sheer perspicacity, sophistication, and enlightenment.
00:02:29.000Grateful we all should be to live in such a glorious time.
00:02:33.000Now, to our extraordinary, incandescent, resplendent music video.
00:02:59.000By Odin's Beard, the heartbreaking wisdom.
00:03:05.000Can't nip the beat live, you no lil' chump.
00:03:09.000Hands on my knees, shaking ass on my thigh.
00:03:11.000Post me a pic, finna make me a profit.
00:03:13.000When the h*** hits, then the f*** get toxic.
00:03:15.000Why the f*** you in the club when n****s wild?
00:03:17.000I been lit since brunch, that's order 42 for the table.
00:03:20.000That's posse, missionary or a raki style.
00:03:22.000On my top, f*** the ass, hey, know me from the closet.
00:03:25.000by Zeus' anvil, the Aristotelian insight.
00:03:29.000By Thor's Great Hammer, the extraordinary non-objectification and empowerment.
00:03:34.000by Thor's great hammer, the extraordinary non-objectification and empowerment, the originality, the virtuosity, the percipience, the praise.
00:03:49.000We must investigate the supreme quality of Megan Thee Stallion's groundbreaking work within E!
00:03:55.000The true Shakespearean artistic fluidity, rhyming thought with both profit and toxic, but also rhyming venom with dinner, and also somehow finding the room to use the word twelve times, forty-four times, twenty-four times, five times, and the n-word seven times all in just under three minutes.
00:04:18.000And, in this song, we learn that Megan Thee Stallion will soon, at the shockingly prodigious age of just 26, graduate from the prestigious Texas Southern University with a degree in Health Administration.
00:04:29.000As she says, 2021, Finnick Graduate College.
00:04:34.000The true empowerment of this song, hands on my knees, shaking on my thoughts, Post me a pic, find to make me a profit.
00:04:44.000Yes, true female empowerment is to be found in profiting from your thought.
00:04:51.000The true beauty which lies within exposed in this song.
00:04:55.000I walk around the house butt naked and I stop at every mirror just to stare at my own posterior.
00:05:02.000Yes, meaning is to be found in gazing narcissist-like into the gaping maw of your own The true honor and love.
00:05:11.000We ain't even speakin' if the n-word ain't spendin'.
00:05:15.000Yes, indeed, true love and honor can only be found in having sex with men based purely on the amount of lucre they spend on you.
00:05:32.000After seeing this unbelievably brilliant music video, I actually respect my own wife less today, because she decided to be an actual doctor, and went to college, and medical school, and residency, rather than going to Party City, buying a hot doctor outfit, and then twerking for the pleasure of millions of men, while reserving her sexual favors only for those who pay her the most money.
00:05:55.000My wife, she just did not understand the true uniqueness of womanhood.
00:05:59.000Instead opted to get married, bear children, care for those children, hold a job, rather than dressing up in a slutty public sanitation worker outfit and running over fake conservative senators in a garbage truck.
00:06:12.000Truly, Megan Thee Stallion has set forth an awe-inspiring vision of femininity and womanhood.
00:06:19.000May we all remember her contribution to humanity as we forge forth to ever greater civilizational heights.
00:06:26.000Alrighty, we'll get to all the news in just one moment.
00:06:28.000First, let us talk about the fact that my kids keep me up all night.

00:07:51.000The big problem is Joe Biden doesn't actually know he's abroad.
00:07:54.000Essentially, Joe Biden's tenure thus far is a lot like the Anthony Hopkins movie, The Father.
00:08:00.000He's just wandering around, not knowing where he is and confused all the time.
00:08:04.000It's essentially an outtake from the Super Bowl of the weekend, wandering through mirror lined hallways, weirdly bumping into things.
00:08:39.000There was a major poll that just came out that showed that across those countries, 75% of the people on average now have confidence in American leadership and in President Biden.
00:08:52.000So we're now in a position where when it comes to dealing with Russia and the challenges it poses, or dealing with China and the challenges it poses, we can come with a much more united front.
00:09:04.000Or maybe it's that the Europeans are comfortable that we have a doddering old fool in the White House who is never going to challenge any of their preconceived notions about either Russia or Iran, about the Middle East.
00:09:14.000They're just going to do whatever the Europeans would like them to do.
00:09:17.000And why exactly would they feel threatened by Joe Biden?
00:09:19.000I mean, this is the this is the key to Joe Biden.
00:09:21.000He is perfectly unthreatening because again, near corpses are not threatening.
00:09:26.000This is why the right is not really glomming on to attacking Biden because how do you attack a house plant?
00:09:40.000There are folks in America who said that Donald Trump was an embarrassment on the world stage because he was so brusque and because he said crazy things.
00:09:46.000It is embarrassing to have a president of the United States who is wandering into walls.
00:09:51.000Okay, that is... We've gotten to a certain point in American life when these are the people that we choose to be presidents of the United States.
00:09:58.000Okay, so Joe Biden led off the G7 by mixing up Libya with Syria three times.
00:10:05.000He was trying to talk about how he was standing up to the Russians, and also we're going to work with the Russians to end the bloodshed in Syria, but he missed.
00:10:13.000By 1400 miles, Libya is nowhere near Syria.
00:10:17.000In fact, it's not technically even on the same landmass.
00:10:20.000Syria is up there in that Middle Eastern landmass, and Libya is down there in Africa.
00:10:25.000Here is Joe Biden missing the mark by, oh, about 1400 miles.
00:11:06.000So Joe Biden doesn't know where he is and he doesn't know where Syria is.
00:11:09.000Also, he gets very angry when you ask him simple questions.
00:11:12.000So Joe Biden was asked about what he is going to do to stand up to the Russians and the Chinese, and Joe Biden was, like, growling at the reporters.
00:11:30.000You've kept in place some Trump-era steel and aluminum sanctions.
00:11:34.000And I wanted to ask you, when you're having these conversations with European allies, who are very concerned about these sanctions, how do you justify that?
00:12:13.000Their opening picture was of the G7 leaders in Cornwall, like on a beach in Cornwall, and they look like they just beamed down, except that Angela Merkel is wearing a red jacket, so she's the one who goes first, right?
00:12:28.000In the middle of one of his press conferences, he starts talking again about how he's going to get in trouble with his own staff if he answers unapproved questions.
00:12:35.000He does this all the time, by the way.
00:12:58.000And then, he, um, he tried to introduce the president of South Africa after Boris Johnson already had, leading the entire G7 to laugh at him.
00:13:27.000Joe, they're laughing at you, not looking at you.
00:13:29.000Let me tell you, when, do you like it, I'll, this president, I'm glad to hear it.
00:13:34.000So Boris Johnson reminds Joe Biden, the President of the United States, that he already introduced the person that Joe Biden just tried to introduce.
00:13:39.000Everybody starts laughing at Joe Biden, and Joe Biden awkwardly starts laughing along.
00:13:43.000Yes, all is well on the international stage.
00:13:46.000Joe Biden got lost in the wrong cafe and had to be ushered away by a young female aide, apparently.
00:15:30.000First, let us talk about the fact that if you are working from home, if you're working at the office, you don't want to go to the post office.
00:15:37.000Waiting in line is just not something that is worth doing.
00:15:40.000They do a lot of wonderful things, but you can do all the stuff that you could do at the post office from your home or office, and you could do it for a lot less money and save yourself time in the process.
00:16:09.000Stamps.com brings all the services of the U.S.
00:16:11.000Postal Service and UPS right to your computer.
00:16:14.000It's a must-have for any business, whether you're a small office sending invoices, a side hustle Etsy shop shipping out orders, or just navigating.
00:16:19.000The hybrid work-life balance Stamps.com can do all of it.
00:16:22.000You can use your computer to print official U.S.

00:16:32.000And again, stamps.com is a fraction of the cost of the expensive postage meter.
00:16:35.000So don't go to the post office anymore.
00:16:57.000Well, one, the United States basically asked other countries to tax American-based corporations.
00:17:02.000Now, you don't have to love the big tech companies to understand that these are America-based corporations.
00:17:06.000And the fact they're based in America means a lot of the jobs exist here in the United States.
00:17:10.000And that we take, for whatever taxes they pay, we take the chief margin of those taxes because they are based in the United States.
00:17:18.000Okay, well now, the United States government, under the auspices of Joe Biden and Janet Yellen, wishes to announce a global tax on tech companies.
00:17:27.000The goal is to tax American tech giants, according to the Wall Street Journal editorial board.
00:17:33.000New rules would allow jurisdictions where global companies earn revenue, market countries, to tax a portion of the resulting profits.
00:17:39.000This would upend a century of global standards that tax companies where their headquarters are based.
00:17:43.000The G7 makes it sound like this would apply to all large global firms.
00:17:46.000One might even think it's an improvement on the patchwork of digital services taxes the G7 promises to replace.
00:17:51.000But Janet Yellen and her peers didn't devise this idea in a vacuum.
00:17:54.000Their proposal builds on negotiations already underway at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the OECD, for taxes that would apply specifically to digital companies.
00:18:04.000So in other words, you might think that their new rule, which taxes profits where they are earned, would be good for the United States.
00:18:09.000That means that a bunch of businesses selling their product over here, we'd get to tax that.
00:18:13.000Except for the fact that this is explicitly designed in order to tax only giant companies based in the United States.
00:18:20.000The exemption of profits up to a margin of 10% is the clue, and only a few industries do companies consistently achieve profit margins above that threshold.
00:18:27.000Digital services is one such industry.
00:18:29.000Negotiators are carving out exclusions for other industries that otherwise would have to pay the tax.
00:18:34.000A few non-tech companies may eventually get caught, but witness the efforts to minimize their numbers.
00:18:39.000Yellen's offer this spring to limit the new tax to companies with revenue above $20 billion, which captures most American tech firms and excludes the vast majority of the world's other multinational companies.
00:18:48.000So basically, we're going to allow everybody to tax America-based companies, but we are not going to be able to tax their companies in return.
00:18:59.000I mean, clearly Joe Biden is a leader.
00:19:02.000Meanwhile, according to the New York Times, there are cracks in the coalition.
00:19:06.000President Biden and fellow Western leaders issued a confrontational declaration about Russian and Chinese government behavior on Sunday, castigating Beijing over its internal repression, vowing to investigate the pandemic's origins, and excoriating Moscow for using nerve agents and cyber weapons.
00:19:22.000Concluding the first in-person summit meeting since the outbreak of the COVID pandemic, the leaders tried to present a unified front against a range of threats, but they disagreed about crucial issues, from timelines for halting the burning of coal to committing tens or hundreds of billions of dollars to aid to challenge Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative.
00:19:39.000Still, as they left Cornwall where they had met at a resort overlooking rocky outcroppings in England's far west, almost all of the participants welcomed a new tone as they began to repair the breaches from four years of dealing with Biden's predecessor, Donald J. Trump.
00:19:53.000President Emmanuel Macron of France said, Yes, I've noticed.
00:19:55.000to have a US president who's part of the club and very willing to cooperate.
00:20:00.000Yes. So basically, the United States is going to get nothing out of this.
00:20:06.000Instead, what's going to happen is that the United States is going to cave to everything that Europe wants, which means that the United States will look the other way and actually actively promulgate Iranian involvement in the world economy.
00:20:16.000The United States will green light things like the Nord Stream 2 pipeline while killing Keystone XL.
00:20:21.000The United States will look the other way as China rolls over countries in the surrounding regions.
00:20:27.000The fact of the matter is this administration has zero interest in facing up to Russia or China.
00:20:31.000This administration has demonstrated very little willingness to actually take harsh action with regard to either the Putin regime or the Xi Jinping regime over in China.
00:20:40.000It's pretty obvious that they wish to do exactly what the Europeans want to do, which is dither around until these regimes continue to gain strength.
00:20:47.000Which is kind of amazing because we were told for years that it was Donald Trump who was a cat's paw of the Russians.
00:20:54.000And then Donald Trump, you know, he was just, he was racist against the Chinese.
00:21:02.000leadership is soft, the Europeans like to, the Europeans are all for soft U.S.
00:21:06.000leadership until we have to come in and save their asses every 40 years.
00:21:08.000But the reality is that a soft United States means a more powerful China, more powerful Russia, actors on the world stage getting aggressive.
00:21:16.000And that's about, that's what we're about to see.
00:21:20.000Let us talk about your workout routine.
00:21:22.000So let me tell you, I've been using my Echelon machine pretty much every day, and it is just great.
00:21:27.000Echelon is the affordable way to get workout equipment, the workout community, and an instructor's motivation right in the comfort of your own home.
00:21:34.000In fact, Echelon is so good, I got one for my parents, I got one for my brother-in-law as well.
00:21:38.000Echelon's fitness app provides you with thousands of live and on-demand classes with great music from your favorite artist.
00:21:46.000day or night and crush your fitness goals.

00:21:55.000It's comfortable, it's easy to use, it doesn't take up a lot of space.
00:21:59.000And again, it's gonna help you keep fit, take off the weight, do what it is you're looking to do to get fit.
00:22:04.000Echelon certified fitness instructors are supportive, engaging and fun, and they know how to get you moving.

00:22:10.000They've got the stationary bikes, of course.
00:22:11.000They also have smart rollers, they have fitness screens, they have auto folding treadmills, connected with that Echelon experience. You get the feeling like you got a personal trainer in your house with you.
00:22:19.000And right now, my listeners will get a special offer from Echelon.
00:22:21.000For a limited time only, start your 30-day risk-free trial offer with Echelon's EX3 bike for just $1.
00:22:28.000It's a special risk-free offer for 30 days with Echelon's EX3 bike for only $1 to start.
00:22:44.000Okay, so when it comes to foreign policy, this administration has essentially no interest in doing anything about China.
00:22:51.000So the G7 put out a statement about how we need to hold China accountable.
00:22:55.000Here's what their statement said, quote, strengthening transparency and accountability, including reiterating our commitment to the full implementation of and improved compliance with the international health regulations of 2005.
00:23:07.000This includes investigating, reporting, and responding to outbreaks of unknown origin.
00:23:12.000We also call for a timely, transparent, expert-led, and science-based WHO-convened phase two COVID-19 origin study, including as recommended by the experts' report in China.
00:23:21.000So, the G7 is like, we're gonna hold China accountable by going to the World Health Organization, the Chinese-run organization that covered for China's malfeasance in the early months of the pandemic, that lied to the world at China's behest in late January and said that COVID-19 was not human-to-human transmission.
00:24:40.000Senior Biden officials, according to Politico, have said investigations into the pandemic's origins should be shepherded by an independent international body like the WHO.
00:24:48.000But the WHO's first crack at the investigation, released in March, called the lab leak, quote, extremely unlikely after an investigation.
00:24:57.000However, China did not share QLab data and records.
00:25:00.000Oh, so you mean they came up with a finding that's completely not grounded in any sort of data because the Chinese wouldn't provide the data to the all-knowing, all-seeing WHO?
00:25:09.000Secretary of State Antony Blinken was asked about this.
00:25:12.000So you guys keep saying you want to hold China accountable and you want to get to the bottom of this, and then you're kicking it over to the WHO.
00:25:17.000So, um, you got any idea, like, how you're going to pressure China to be involved in investigating itself here?
00:25:22.000Here's Antony Blinken, inspiring stuff from the Secretary of State.
00:25:26.000We need to get to the bottom of what happened.
00:25:29.000We need accountability, but we also need to understand what happened, why it happened, how it happened, if we're going to be able to put in place the necessary measures to prevent it from happening again, or at least to be in a better place to mitigate the next pandemic if we can't fully prevent one.
00:25:47.000The WHO, you're right, the first study that they put out was highly deficient.
00:25:52.000The leaders of the G7 have come together insisting that China cooperate with the so-called phase two study by the WHO to really get to the bottom of what happened.
00:27:03.000Over my tenure, I've gotten used to attacks from all kinds of angles and from all kinds of areas under all kinds of pretexts and reasons and a different caliber and fierceness.
00:27:21.000Of course, in Hollywood, there are some underlying deep things in Hollywood, macho, which can be treated as cinematic art, but that is part of U.S.
00:27:28.000political culture where it's considered normal.
00:27:31.000Okay, and then you cut to the postscript where that reporter is dead in his room at Vladimir Putin's hands and poisoned with uranium or something.
00:27:38.000In any case, Joe Biden is supposed to face up to Vladimir Putin.
00:27:41.000Now, there was a lot of talk about how Donald Trump was enthralled to the Russians, right?
00:28:05.000And give credit to Biden, at least he's sentient enough to know that he's not sentient.
00:28:09.000He's like, I'm not going to do a presser with Vladimir Putin, because if I do a presser with Vladimir Putin, he's going to look alive and I'm barely alive.
00:28:16.000This is not a contest about who can do better in front of a press conference or try to embarrass each other.
00:28:22.000It's about making myself very clear what the conditions are to get a better relationship are with Russia.
00:28:52.000I mean, I'm sure that Putin isn't just going to deceive him and lie to him and be exactly the sort of evil dictator he's been for, you know, 20 years at this point.
00:29:02.000He's probably, probably this guy, Joe Biden, this houseplant over here is going to stand up to Vladimir Putin in magnificent ways.
00:29:08.000Again, I'm rooting for the president of the United States to do better here.
00:29:11.000I'm rooting for him to stand up to China and rooting for him to stand up to Russia.
00:29:14.000He is not congenitally disposed to do this, nor is he, I think, mentally capable of standing up to Vladimir Putin at this point by all available indicators.
00:29:22.000But here's Nancy Pelosi assuring us that probably we should take her at her word.
00:29:26.000The former president of the United States, for whatever reason, whether the Russians had personal, political, or financial leverage over him, just kowtowed, catered to Putin in a way that was humiliating to the United States of America.
00:29:45.000And when Putin hears about some of the violations of the rights of his own people, he laughs.

00:33:03.000So meanwhile, while Nancy Pelosi is explaining that Joe Biden is going to stand up to Vladimir Putin, a couple of things. One, One, Joe Biden is not, in fact, standing up to Vladimir Putin.
00:33:18.000Well, President Biden apparently said over the weekend that he would be doing swaps of cybercriminals with Moscow.
00:33:25.000He said, well, if Moscow catches American cybercriminals and we catch Russian cybercriminals, maybe we'll just swap them, you know, like we'll just swap them out.
00:33:31.000And then the White House is like, not, you know what, we're not going to do that.
00:33:34.000The White House is like, pay no attention to Grandpa over there because he doesn't know what in the world he's talking about.
00:33:39.000Biden had entertained an idea Putin floated in a TV interview about x-rating criminals who engaged in ransom hacking either against the United States or Russia when he was asked about it at a press conference.
00:33:49.000Biden was like, you know, maybe, maybe we could talk about swapping criminals.
00:33:53.000And then, and then the White House is like, yeah, don't pay attention to him because he's crazy.
00:33:59.000Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi saying that Joe Biden is definitely gonna stand up to Vladimir Putin.
00:34:04.000Nancy Pelosi cannot stand up to a mild wind.
00:34:08.000I mean, we know that Joe Biden can't either.
00:34:09.000Like, he falls down Air Force One stairs if there's a breeze that's above seven miles an hour, apparently.
00:34:13.000But Nancy Pelosi cannot stand up to her own party in the slightest.
00:34:17.000You'll remember the last week, there was a large-scale conflagration when 12 House Democrats condemned Ilhan Omar and asked her to clarify her anti-Semitic and anti-American comments.
00:34:26.000And then, she sort of walked him back a little bit, and then Nancy Pelosi was like, I guess we're done here.
00:34:31.000So over the weekend, she was asked about this.
00:34:33.000And she was asked, you know, have you chided Ilhan Omar at all?
00:34:36.000And Nancy Pelosi was like, everything's fine with Ilhan, she's great, she's just... Here we go, Nancy Pelosi, you know, the person who was saying we need to stand up to Vladimir Putin, she can't even stand up to the anti-American wing of her own party.
00:34:51.000Congresswoman Omar is a valued member of our caucus.
00:34:53.000She asked her questions of the Secretary of State.
00:34:56.000Nobody criticized those about how people will be held accountable if we're not going to the International Court of Justice.
00:35:16.000Rashida Tlaib is accusing them of policing them in a car.
00:35:19.000And, and, then she clarified it and we thanked her for clarification.
00:35:26.000So do you want people to just let it go and move on?
00:35:28.000They can say whatever they want, but what I'm saying is, end of subject.
00:35:33.000She clarified, we thanked her, end of subject.
00:35:36.000Oh well, she clarified, we thanked her, end of subject.
00:35:40.000Yeah, except for, you know, that little calendar from Futurama that says days since Ilhan Omar said something terribly anti-American and or anti-Semitic, and now it's reading like two.
00:36:20.000Like, like, it's just all like, like, wow.
00:36:24.000We know that, you know, these very intense news cycles, which, by the way, started this whole hubbub started with right wing news outlets taking what she said out of context.
00:36:35.000And when we feed into that, it adds legitimacy to a lot of this kind of right-wing vitriol.
00:36:41.000It absolutely kind of increases That target.
00:36:46.000And as someone who has experienced that, you know, it's very difficult to communicate the scale and how dangerous, you know, that is.
00:37:36.000Democrats because it turns out that the smartest way to ensure that your radical legislation gets passed is by crapping all over Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
00:37:44.000Here is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez using her her strategic mind. I mean, she's she's so strategic, guys. I mean, she's brilliant at this. She's she's von Clausewitz like here she is.
00:37:56.000I do think that we need to talk about the elephant in the room, which is Senate Democrats, which are blocking crucial items in a Democratic agenda for very, I think, for reasons that I don't think hold a lot of water.
00:38:15.000And for folks saying, OK, you know, we need where are you going to get these 50 votes?
00:38:19.000I think we really need to start asking some of these Democratic senators where they plan on getting 60 votes.
00:38:33.000It's a coalition of people like Joe Manchin, who has nothing in common with AOC, and Kyrsten Sinema, who has very little in common with AOC, and then AOC.
00:38:41.000And the House Democrats have decided that they need to cater to the most woke among them, the most progressive members of their own party, which is silliness.
00:38:47.000Those are the people you need to cater to the least.
00:38:50.000Seriously, they're going to vote with your progressive priorities when you actually encode those in legislation?
00:38:54.000When's the last time that these votes were the swing voters?
00:38:57.000Really, if you want your party to be able to pass anything, you need to be looking to placate the blue dogs.
00:39:02.000You don't need to be looking to placate your far left wing.
00:39:04.000But Nancy Pelosi is so scared crapless of the squad that she continues to just feed them more rope.
00:39:13.000Meanwhile, AOC also had words about whether Justice Breyer should retire.
00:39:17.000I'm sure that Justice Breyer is sitting there just on tensorhooks waiting to hear what AOC has to say about whether he should leave his position on the Supreme Court.
00:39:26.000Just to be clear, you do think that Justice Stephen Breyer should retire at the end of this term?
00:39:35.000You know, it's something I'd think about, but I would probably lean towards yes.
00:39:44.000But yes, you're asking me this question, so I would give more thought to it, but I'm inclined to say yes.
00:39:50.000Yes, and I'm sure that Justice Breyer will take that under advisement.
00:39:53.000Also, AOC said the quiet part out loud.
00:39:55.000She said that we have to rig the election processes from now on.
00:39:58.000We can't just rely on winning elections anymore, she says.
00:40:01.000Especially if Senate Democrats are not going to pass reforms on H.R.
00:40:09.000We cannot rely solely on a wish of winning elections.
00:40:16.000Particularly in the Senate, when voting rights are under attack in Georgia, Arizona, and Texas, across the country, and if we're not going to pass H.R.
00:40:27.0001 with the preemptive clauses that can roll some of that voter suppression attacks back, yeah, I believe that we should protect our Supreme Court, and I thought that should absolutely be a consideration.
00:40:39.000Yeah, I mean, we can't rely on winning elections anymore.
00:40:42.000It's probably better if we just rely on rigging the strategy by which we vote in the first place.
00:40:48.000Meanwhile, democratic governance in the city continues to be absolutely terrible.
00:40:51.000Statistics out of Atlanta demonstrate massive increases in homicides.
00:40:56.000According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, after historically deadly 2020, Atlanta homicides are up nearly 60% in 2021.
00:41:01.000It turns out radicalism has consequences.
00:41:06.000According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta police have investigated 64 homicide cases in 2021, a 58% increase over this time last year.
00:41:15.000The surge follows a historically deadly 2020, when authorities investigated 157 homicide cases, the most in more than two decades.
00:41:23.000Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has referred to the spike in violence as a COVID crime wave.
00:41:27.000But the city's death toll continues to mount as more Georgians get vaccinated and life returns to normal.
00:41:33.000Because it wasn't a COVID crime wave, gang.
00:41:36.000We all know when the crime wave began and it wasn't with the beginning of COVID.
00:41:39.000As of June, Atlanta's murders are up and shootings have increased by 40% according to the latest data.
00:41:44.000Meanwhile, overall arrests are down by about 43% as Atlanta's police force remains more than 400 officers under its authorized level.
00:41:52.000More than 200 officers quit the force in 2020, many after criminal charges were filed against the two officers involved in the deadly shooting of Rayshard Brooks and other officers who used their tasers on two college students during last summer's protests downtown.
00:42:03.000Another 75 Atlanta police officers have left since the start of the year, records show.
00:42:08.000But department leaders say that morale is stabilizing.
00:42:10.000They plan to hire 250 new officers in the next fiscal year, beginning July 1st.
00:42:15.000Except for how that's not going to work at all, because it turns out that when you take up radical grievances and destroy the law enforcement community, it's very difficult to restaff.
00:42:24.000Dr. Karen Sullivan, Fulton County medical examiner, said her office conducts death examinations from cities across Fulton.
00:42:30.000Most of the homicide victims they encounter are killed in Atlanta.
00:42:32.000Remember, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was widely considered a final possibility for Joe Biden as his VP candidate.
00:42:38.000And she's presided over this mass murder increase in her city.
00:42:41.000city. Anecdotally, it seems as though the complexity of the homicides is increasing, said Sullivan. Years ago, the vast majority of homicide cases due to gunshot wounds were one, maybe two, rarely three gunshot wounds. Now it's quite common for people to have been shot 10 or 12 times. So things are going great in Atlanta.
00:42:59.000Crime in Atlanta has become a central issue in this year's race for city hall, especially after Bottoms announced she would not seek re-election in the fall.
00:43:05.000Some have called for Buckhead residents to break away and form their own city.
00:43:08.000State officials have started stepping in to address Atlanta's rise in crime.
00:43:11.000Homicides are up in many cities across the nation, yet critics believe Atlanta has not done all it could to stem the rise in violent crime.
00:43:17.000Many saw Bottoms as slow to respond to the surge in killings.
00:43:19.000Momentum was building for opposition in November's election, even before she dropped out of the race.
00:43:25.000And this is happening in major cities across the country, because the radicals are in control.
00:43:31.000And now the Democrats wish to extend that radicalism across the spectrum.
00:43:35.000Make no mistake, the DOJ policy pursued by the Biden administration, which is directed against police departments across the nation, will result in fewer officers working, it will result in less policing by the officers who do work, it will result in more crime.
00:43:49.000It's amazing how good intentions are, for the left, invariably paired with crappy results.
00:43:55.000Meanwhile, you have the entire Democratic Party circulating around the idea now.
00:44:02.000We can see that the economy is in serious trouble right now because we have something like 9 million open jobs and 3.5 million people applying for those jobs.
00:44:10.000We only gained 3.5 million jobs since this pandemic effectively ended.
00:44:14.000And that is because of the bad economic policy pushed by the Biden administration.
00:44:17.000And yet every day we hear how they're going to double down.
