Public health pseudo-experts and their political allies are unmasked as science deniers, the Andrew Brown case comes apart, and the radical left s mask comes off when it comes to winking and anti-Semitism.

00:01:37.000Alrighty. So over the past few days, it appears that the Biden administration has now come around to the science and many in the Biden administration are now acknowledging that they were lying about the science for months on end.
00:01:50.000Some of us were saying from the very early days of the pandemic that once you had had COVID, you were basically immune now to COVID and you were not passing COVID.
00:01:56.000And that is what the statistics showed.
00:01:57.000Some of us were also saying that the masking was really only necessary in close quarters And once you are vaccinated, you are done.
00:02:04.000Once you are vaccinated and two weeks past that second vaccination, you are done.
00:02:08.000And you'll recall that on Friday, because Joe Biden had had a very bad news week, he decided that he was going to unmask publicly.
00:02:14.000Well, now Anthony Fauci, the greatest of all doctors, except for Dr. Joe Biden, who, as we all know, is the greatest doctor in the history, not only of America, but of the world.
00:02:22.000It goes like Dr. Joe Biden, Hippocrates, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. J, Dr. Pepper, and then all the rest of the doctors.
00:02:30.000Dr. Fauci, yesterday, he admitted, on national TV, that he was wearing a mask for no reason.
00:02:35.000Which is weird, because when he was sitting in front of the Senate, and Rand Paul was questioning him about this, he was like, no, there's a very good reason it's the variants.
00:02:42.000Except there wasn't, and Fauci was lying.
00:02:44.000When your public health experts acknowledge that they have lied to you now about a variety of issues, for your own benefit, maybe you should stop listening to them and start looking at the underlying data.
00:02:52.000Here was Fauci acknowledging that he's a liar.
00:02:55.000I'm obviously careful because, I mean, I'm a physician and a health care provider.
00:03:00.000I am now much more comfortable in people seeing me indoors without a mask.
00:03:07.000I mean, before the CDC made the recommendation change, I didn't want to look like I was giving mixed signals.
00:03:14.000But being a fully vaccinated person, the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low.
00:03:22.000And that's the reason why in indoor settings now, I feel comfortable about not wearing a mask because I'm fully vaccinated.
00:03:30.000So in other words, he was fully vaccinated months ago.
00:03:48.000Because he wanted to mirror the political predilections of the Biden administration.
00:03:50.000Again, it is just a source of astonishment to me that we have treated the Trump administration for a year on COVID as a great controlling force standing above the public health establishment and bossing them around and telling them what to do and twisting the science.
00:04:02.000And here you have Anthony Fauci openly acknowledging that he lied to you for months because he wanted to send you a message that it was important to mask even after you were vaccinated and only once the vaunted CDC decided to get on board did he decide to unmask.
00:04:15.000Well, Rand Paul had something to say about this.
00:04:16.000He said, Well, um, weird because I was saying this to you before and then I'd get trended on Twitter every five minutes for saying that you were wrong.
00:04:23.000Well, Rand Paul was right and Fauci was wrong.
00:04:26.000Every exchange they've had for the past several months, Rand Paul was right and Fauci was wrong.
00:04:31.000My question to him would be, did you just discover vaccine immunology?
00:04:35.000Did you not believe in vaccine immunology a couple of weeks ago when I asked you this?
00:05:38.000If everybody in the chamber has had the ability to get a vaccine, which they have, once you are vaccinated, you don't have to care whether somebody else is vaccinated or not.
00:05:45.000And if you wish not to vaccinate, and you wish to be in a public setting, you also—that's your responsibility.
00:05:53.000And if you're vaccinated, you shouldn't care.
00:05:54.000Okay, but Nancy Pelosi has maintained these House rules that say that you have to mask on the House floor for no reason at all.
00:06:01.000In fact, the current House rule states that masks must be worn in the chamber except when speaking during debate.
00:06:06.000The members can go without masks in House office buildings and elsewhere in the Capitol complex.
00:06:09.000Rule breakers are fined 500 bucks for a first offense and $2,500 for a second offense.
00:06:14.000Brian Mast, Republican of Florida, led this rebellion.
00:06:18.000The Army veteran interrupted a Republican conference meeting to tell his colleagues he was done wearing masks and would not wear them on the House floor going forward.
00:06:23.000Last week, Mast rose during a House vote and asked that given the updated CDC guidance, we all take off these stupid masks.
00:06:30.000And apparently, the other members who refused to mask included Chip Roy of Texas, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, Beth Van Dyne of Texas, Gary Stube of Florida, and Mary Miller of Illinois.
00:06:49.000Pelosi says that 75% of the House members are fully vaccinated.
00:06:52.000She says we can't go back to pre-pandemic operations with 75% of the people vaccinated and the other 25% having had the opportunity to get vaccinated.
00:06:59.000Okay, so what this is at this point, it is just pure politics.
00:07:03.000And when it's unmasked, it's just pure politics.
00:07:04.000What that means is that it was always pure politics.
00:07:07.000And when you take off the Phantom of the Opera's mask and something ugly is underneath, the thing that was ugly underneath was always there.
00:07:35.000But the media continue to promulgate this nonsense.
00:07:39.000Because if they can continue to prolong the feeling that the pandemic is a real problem in American life, and that it is something for Biden to overcome, then it gives him something to push against, and it tends to jog the American public into wanting things from the government, as opposed to going back to regular life.
00:07:53.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:07:55.000First, let us talk about the fact That there is a service for you if you have a bunch of stuff in your garage that's just moldering out there.
00:08:02.000And I'm not talking about, like, boxes.
00:08:08.000These are irreplaceable memories, and they're out there in your garage just falling apart.
00:08:11.000You need to get them preserved right now with Legacy Box.
00:08:13.000Legacy Box is an ingenious mail-in service to have all those irreplaceable moments trapped on videotapes, camcorder tapes, film reels, and pictures converted to DVD or digital.
00:08:21.000Right now, they are offering 50% off plus free shipping on orders over $100 exclusive for our listeners.
00:08:26.000Let me tell you, it's a great service.
00:09:23.000When Tori Saylor, 27, stepped out of her apartment in Kalamazoo, Michigan last week, she knew that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention had already given fully vaccinated Americans the go-ahead to shed masks in most situations.
00:09:51.000Despite her vaccination status, it is unclear whether her body will be able to effectively produce antibodies to fight off COVID-19.
00:09:57.000Okay, but that's going to be true forever.
00:09:59.000I mean, and literally for most diseases.
00:10:03.000Like, if you are immunosuppressed, this is a different story for you.
00:10:05.000But the vast majority of people who are addicted to masks are not immunosuppressed.
00:10:08.000The vast majority of people who continue to wear the masks are people like Nancy Pelosi, who's okay.
00:10:14.000These people are doing it as a form of virtue signaling.
00:10:16.000It is a way of spotting the people in the crowd who are like you and they are the good people.
00:10:21.000The good people wear masks even after they're vaccinated to demonstrate just how wonderful they are.
00:10:26.000The New York Times says our capacity to trust other people's honesty has already been tested and fibs or omissions may have happened along the way. Did every person who drove across the state line follow 14-day quarantine rules? Did everyone who got an early vaccine fit the eligibility rules at the time? So it's no surprise that the latest honor code, the federal government's guidance encouraging vaccinated Americans to take off their masks, was greeted with skepticism in parts of the country that have not already done so.
00:10:48.000Fewer than half of Americans over the age of 18 are fully vaccinated.
00:10:50.000Well, first of all, a much larger percentage are at least half vaccinated, which gives you a large amount of immunity.
00:10:57.000It's a very complicated symphony right now, said Dr. Howard Markle, a medical historian at the University of Michigan.
00:11:02.000There's been such an erosion of trust, distrust for government, distrust for the virus, distrust for this party or that party.
00:11:07.000So when you tell the public what to do, there are people who say, how can I trust the guy without the mask?
00:11:11.000Okay, but again, nobody is saying that people who are unvaccinated have lost all risk now that they've decided to unmask.
00:11:19.000All we are saying is that once you've had the opportunity to get vaccinated, if you've turned it down, that one's on you.
00:11:23.000Immunosuppressed people are a different story as I've said all along.
00:11:26.000Then you take whatever precautions you have to take just like you would with any other serious illness if you are immunosuppressed or you have some sort of medical issue.
00:11:34.000But the vast majority of people right now who are continuing to wear the mask are people in blue cities who have decided they are better people for wearing the masks even after vaccinated or people who have a screw loose.
00:11:44.000Because so much of this has become cultural and so little of it seems to be about science.
00:11:49.000The mask is coming off with regard to the teachers unions too.
00:11:52.000So Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, she admitted yesterday that the CDC had indeed sought her advice on how to write their school guidance with regard to reopening, which is insane, right?
00:13:35.000The part that I don't understand is how come the parochial schools and the private schools could navigate their way through this scenario But the public schools didn't seem to be able to manage that.
00:13:53.000They're very unhappy with the entire direction that the left is taking them, because the entire mandate for Joe Biden was to be not Donald Trump.
00:13:59.000And instead, he took it as a mandate to be as radical as he wanted to be, to please his teacher union allies, to have Anthony Fauci out there lying on behalf of the administration for political purposes.
00:14:09.000When the masks come off, people don't like it.
00:14:12.000We'll get to racial issues in just a moment because the masks are coming off on racial issues as well.
00:14:16.000It's pretty astonishing how fast the masks are coming off, honestly.
00:14:33.000While the news tells us that 5 million people became first-time gun owners in 2020, it doesn't tell you many people invested in body armor as well.
00:14:39.000People all over the country are buying body armor from AR-500 Armor to protect themselves and their families at levels never seen before.
00:14:44.000The Second Amendment protects both arms and armor.
00:14:48.000Some armor is so discreet, nobody even knows that you have it.
00:14:50.000So, whether you want armor for discreet use in public or something more robust for protection while you're hunting or at the shooting range, our friends at AR500 Armor have you covered.
00:14:58.000AR500 Armor has multiple packages built for responsible citizens, people just like you, looking for varying levels of protection.

00:15:49.000Today, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the mayor of Chicago, apparently, she has now announced she will only be giving interviews to black and brown reporters.
00:16:15.000First of all, it may violate constitutional provisions.
00:16:18.000She is a government officer discriminating openly on the basis of race.
00:16:21.000NBC5 Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern took to Twitter on Tuesday to state, quote, as Chicago mayor reaches her two-year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting one-on-one interviews only to black or brown journalists.
00:16:34.000Apparently, the same message was given to WTTW Chicago Tonight anchor and correspondent Paris Schutz, who tweeted, I was told the same thing.
00:16:40.000Chicago politics reporter Heather Cherone also tweeted, I can confirm.
00:16:45.000Okay, that is probably a violation of the law.
00:16:48.000But the fact that this is even considered a possible political strategy demonstrates how insane the left has become.
00:16:53.000Lori Lightfoot is considered a mainstream Democrat.
00:16:56.000And yet, this sort of thing is tolerated.
00:16:58.000Not only tolerated, but celebrated on the left.
00:17:01.000Meanwhile, false narratives are trotted out on a regular basis, and then, when they fall apart, you just never hear about it again.
00:17:13.000was shot, he's a 42-year-old black man, and he was shot to death as he drove his vehicle last month in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
00:17:20.000And you remember, there was talk of riots, there was a big protest that was held, the family did a big presser, and they had people like Benjamin Crump there, and there they accused the officers in this case of pure murder.
00:19:17.000Which is why the DA came out and said, no, there's not going to be a prosecution.
00:19:21.000Pasquotank County District Attorney Andrew Womble said during a news conference on Tuesday that they were justified in their actions, the cops, because they had reason to believe they were in danger.
00:19:29.000was fatally struck by gunshots on April 21st, according to the Washington Post, as he attempted to drive away from deputies who were executing a search warrant on felony drug charges at his home.
00:19:37.000Womble, who previously said the shooting was justified, held the news conference to discuss details of the state's Bureau of Investigation findings.
00:19:44.000Womble said Brown's attempt to flee escalated the situation from show of force to an employment of force.
00:19:50.000During the news conference, Womble recounted the events of April 21st.
00:19:53.000Brown was sitting in his dark BMW on the day officers from multiple agencies attempted to serve search and arrest warrants based on alleged drug activity.
00:20:01.000At around 8.23am, a detective drove his vehicle in front of Brown's to prevent any forward movement.
00:20:06.000Two deputies approached Brown's car on the driver's side as two others moved toward the passenger side with guns drawn as they gave commands to Brown.
00:20:12.000Brown threw down his phone as officers approached closer and quickly backed his car away from officers as one had his hand on Brown's driver door handle.
00:20:20.000That deputy was pulled over the hood of the car, according to Womble.
00:20:23.000When Brown backed up enough to the point where he was blocked by his home, he turned his steering wheel to the left toward the law enforcement officers who were scrambling to get out of the way and yelling for him to stop, according to Womble and the video footage.
00:20:33.000The first shot was fired during this moment, piercing the front windshield of Brown's car as his vehicle continued to move.
00:20:37.000More shots followed, hitting Brown's passenger window and rear passenger side door, while his vehicle continued to accelerate across a vacant lot toward a white van occupied by an investigator.
00:20:48.000The total time, as you can see from the video, is five seconds.
00:20:51.000Okay, so there are eyewitness statements that suggested that it was much longer, that these officers basically were waiting, and then they just shot him for no reason at all.
00:21:01.000Okay, it happens to be that in all likelihood he was trying to conceal evidence and then he was trying to run over cops.
00:21:06.000Brown had abrasions on his body that were caused by the shrapnel apparently and a plastic bag in his mouth with a substance that's consistent with crystal meth.
00:21:13.000Although autopsy and toxicology reports haven't been finalized according to the DA.
00:21:18.000The footage shared by Womble brought more questions by reporters at the news conference, who pressed him about saying Brown was aiming for officers instead of fleeing.
00:21:24.000The clips have also prompted more criticism about how authorities handled sharing information with the public.
00:21:29.000And of course, you have people saying that the footage was cherry-picked.
00:21:36.000And here's that we've now reached the point in American life where even the unmasking of a story as untrue doesn't actually change the story that is told by the media.
00:21:44.000It just brings further questions, right?
00:21:45.000When there is video of Jacob Blake holding a knife and resisting arrest and reaching into his car and there being a knife on the floorboards of the car, then we are told that the cops still shouldn't have shot him.
00:21:55.000When there is full-on video, of a 16-year-old girl attempting to stab to death another 16-year-old girl while shouting that she's going to kill her.
00:22:34.000But as the masks come off, the people in power are being unmasked as people who are willing to twist fact in order to achieve a political end.
00:22:42.000And you can see that in everything from COVID policy to race policy.
00:22:46.000You can see it with regard to what's going on currently in the Gaza Strip with regard to Israel and Hamas.
00:23:24.000Whether you're a small office sending invoices, or a side hustle Etsy shop shipping out orders, or you're just navigating the hybrid work-life, Stamps.com handles it all with ease.
00:23:32.000You can simply use your computer and print official U.S.

00:23:36.000With Stamps.com, you get discounts up to 40% off post office rates, up to 66% off UPS shipping rates.
00:24:04.000The latest on the situation over in the Gaza Strip is that Israel continues to bomb Hamas.
00:24:11.000Hamas continues to fire flurries of rockets at civilian areas in Israel.
00:24:15.000And as with every time, Israel fights back against the terrorist group Hamas, or against Fatah, which is a terrorist group, or against Islamic Jihad, which is a terrorist group.
00:24:22.000If it goes on for more than a couple of days, then the world's like, no, this has to stop.
00:24:26.000And it doesn't matter that Israel, as a sovereign state, not only has the right, people use this phrase, right to defend yourself, right to defend yourself is like the most basic of human rights.
00:24:34.000But it's not about Israel just has a right to defend itself.
00:24:37.000Israel has a duty to defend its citizens.
00:24:53.000The United States government has the same duty to you.
00:24:57.000Any government has a duty to its citizens to prevent them from being targeted by terrorist groups.
00:25:02.000And the fact that this is even remotely controversial is beyond me.
00:25:05.000It's crazy to me that people see this as controversial or that people see some sort of moral equivalence here.
00:25:10.000You have to be out of your moral mind in order to believe this, truly.
00:25:14.000Now, the way the New York Times and the media are playing this, of course, is, again, it's about the narrative, and that narrative is being unmasked every single day, right?
00:25:21.000The way that they treat this is completely free of context.
00:25:23.000What they will say is, well, man, Israel has hit a lot of the sewage systems in Gaza.
00:25:28.000I mean, they've knocked out a desalination plant.
00:25:30.000Okay, Israel is attempting to kill people who are firing rockets at their civilians.
00:25:34.000Those terrorists deliberately hide among civilians.
00:25:37.000They deliberately hide in areas with high-value targets Hamas is hiding their rockets next to the desalination plants.
00:25:50.000Hamas is hiding... The difference between Israel and its enemies is that Israel uses its rockets to defend its citizens.
00:25:58.000Hamas uses its citizens to defend its rockets.
00:26:01.000Hamas is interested in using human shields in order to prevent Israel from knocking out its weaponry, which is why they build these tunnels under civilian areas.
00:26:09.000It is why they fire rockets from civilian areas.
00:26:13.000There is not only no moral equivalence here, there is no geopolitical rationale by which what Hamas is doing is justified in any way whatsoever.
00:26:21.000Even their purported rationale with regard to Sheikh Jarrah, this idea that Israel having a 50 year ongoing court case that ends with the eviction of four buildings in Sheikh Jarrah.
00:26:32.000If you think that's an excuse to fire hundreds of rockets into civilian areas, by the way, killing Israeli Arabs, killing foreign workers in Israel, you're out of your mind.
00:26:40.000Even on a legal level, the whole thing is crazy.
00:26:42.000The fact is Sheikh Jarrah is largely Arab.
00:26:44.000Not every Arab in Sheikh Jarrah is being removed.
00:26:46.000The only buildings that are being cleared and evicted are buildings that have been under legal dispute.
00:26:51.000There are a bunch of buildings that between 48 and 67, the Jordanian government, which had grabbed that land as part of the 48 war, handed legal title to the buildings to Arabs who were in that area.
00:27:01.000Those legal titles have been upheld by the Israeli courts.
00:27:04.000Okay, so this is, the whole thing is wild.
00:27:06.000The idea that what happened on Al-Aqsa had anything to do with Jewish interventionism is insane on its face.
00:27:16.000It is because it was being used as a staging ground for riots, specifically because, again, this whole thing was started by Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party.
00:27:23.000Mahmoud Abbas canceled elections at the end of April.
00:27:25.000And then because he canceled elections because he thought Hamas was going to win, he decided he was going to launch a round of violence.
00:27:30.000And Hamas, not wanting to be one-upped by Fatah, decided to get involved by firing hundreds of rockets at Israel.
00:27:40.000Israel abandoned the Gaza Strip in 2005 at great cost.
00:27:45.000I know people who were cleared from the Gaza Strip.
00:27:48.000I'm talking about Jews who had been there for years and decades and they were forced out of their homes.
00:27:54.000It was Jews removing Jews so that they could have a true apartheid state in the Gaza Strip where there are no Jews.
00:28:00.000And that area is completely run by Hamas.
00:28:03.000And now Hamas is now firing rockets over its border into Israel.
00:28:06.000It's an amazing thing that anybody sees moral equivalence here.
00:28:09.000You have to be so ignorant and so stupid and so morally backward.
00:28:12.000But fortunately, we have a world full of stupid, ignorant, and morally backward people.
00:28:16.000The New York Times is putting all the focus on the humanitarian cost in Gaza without, of course, recognizing the reality, which is that all of the damage that is being done is being done because of what Hamas is doing.
00:28:25.000They say the nine-day battle between Hamas militants and the Israeli military has damaged 17 hospitals and clinics in Gaza, wrecked its only COVID test laboratory, sent fetid wastewater into its streets, and broke water pipes serving at least 800,000 people, setting off a humanitarian crisis that is touching nearly every civilian in the crowded enclave of about 2 million people.
00:28:42.000Okay, number one, Israel has been providing free water and electricity to the Gaza Strip for literally decades.
00:28:47.000If Israel wanted to make life super miserable, all they would do is just cut that stuff up.
00:28:52.000But they won't do that because Israel is a humanitarian state.
00:29:09.000Dozens of schools have been damaged or closed, forcing some 600,000 students to miss classes.
00:29:14.000At least 213 Palestinians have been killed, including dozens of children.
00:29:17.000Now, the New York Times doesn't acknowledge where it got those stats.
00:29:19.000The answer is it got those stats from Hamas.
00:29:21.000But if you want to know why children and civilians are dying, I have a video that explains exactly why children are dying in the Gaza Strip.
00:29:45.000If they wanna knock out a piece of military infrastructure, because Hamas tends to locate in civilian areas, they will call the buildings and tell people to clear out, which is certainly not what Hamas is doing.
00:29:54.000Hamas has been firing rockets randomly into Israeli cities and hitting whatever they can hit.
00:29:58.000Cars, buildings, children, they don't care.
00:30:03.000The meaning of this conversation, and I'll read you the transcript of the conversation as it plays out, it just demonstrates the lack of moral equivalency here.
00:31:07.000All the people who pretend that they give a damn about the Palestinians, by the way, all these people do not give a damn that Hamas, which is an actual overt terrorist group funded by Iran, dedicated to spending tens of millions of dollars every single year building terror tunnels to kill Israelis and harm Israelis, they don't care that these people are living under Hamas repression.
00:31:24.000Over 40 people were just arrested in Hamasistan, in the Gaza Strip, for supposedly spreading Jew propaganda.
00:31:41.000And the media will take any opportunity they can in order to push this stuff.
00:31:46.000So when I hear Joy Reid saying things like, Americans have no empathy for Palestinians.
00:31:49.000No, you have no empathy for Palestinians so long as you wish for the Palestinians to be governed by Hamas and by the Palestinian Authority and by Islamic Jihad.
00:31:59.000You didn't care about these people five seconds ago, the minute that they started firing rockets into Israel and Israel started defending itself and its citizens.
00:32:05.000Then all of a sudden, your humanitarian side came out.

00:33:49.000Okay, so the media continue to be garbage at their jobs.
00:33:53.000Right before the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, which is why I was off for the past couple of days, Israel knocked out this building in Gaza, which was being used by Hamas.
00:34:05.000And the Associated Press had offices there.
00:34:07.000Now, the reason that Hamas locates in buildings with the Associated Press there is specifically because they wish to use the Associated Press as a shield.
00:34:18.000They hit the empty building, and then the Associated Press starts whining to the world about how terrible it is that Israel would knock down a building.
00:34:26.000Awful that Israel would do this sort of thing.
00:34:27.000Except that Israel had apparently showed smoking gun material, classified material, to the U.S.
00:34:32.000government explaining that Hamas was in the building.
00:34:35.000Okay, which is not a shock because Hamas and the Associated Press have a covert deal.
00:34:40.000That deal is that Associated Press gets to stay in Hamasistan so long as it prints Hamas propaganda and does not print stuff that it knows about how Hamas uses civilians as human shields.
00:34:50.000David Harsanyi has a good piece over at National Review about this.
00:34:54.000According to AP CEO Gary Pruitt, he said his organization had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building.
00:34:59.000He said, this is something we actively check to the best of our ability.
00:35:02.000We would never knowingly put our journalists at risks.
00:35:20.000During the last major outbreak of violence in 2014, Gaza's Shifa Hospital became a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders, who could be seen in the hallways and offices, according to the Washington Post.
00:35:31.000Because they were working hand-in-glove with Hamas.
00:35:35.000In 2014, former AP reporter Maddie Friedman recounted, quote, the AP staff in Gaza City would witness a rocket launch right beside their office, endangering reporters and other civilians nearby, and AP would not report it.
00:35:47.000Not even in AP articles about Israeli claims that Hamas was launching rockets from residential areas.
00:35:58.000Cameramen waiting outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza would film the arrival of civilian casualties and then, at a signal from an official, turn off their cameras when wounded and dead fighters came in, helping Hamas maintain the illusion that only civilians were dying.
00:36:47.000Because there's a broader left-wing agenda out there, unfortunately.
00:36:50.000It's what people have termed, accurately, the Red-Green Alliance.
00:36:53.000And basically, green being Hamas, red being communists.
00:36:57.000There's this longtime feeling on the left that Israel is a colonial state, that Israel is an outpost of Western civilization, and so many of the people who are angry at Western civilization are angry at Israel.
00:37:06.000They're not angry at Israel, and therefore they're angry at America.
00:37:09.000They're angry at America, and therefore they're angry at Israel.
00:37:11.000Or they're angry at Europe, and therefore they're angry at Israel.
00:37:13.000So Europe, because Europe has always had issues with Jews, has attempted to separate off, except for a couple of countries right now, like Hungary and Austria.
00:37:20.000But the reality is that the left, all over the Western world, has decided that Israel is the bad guy.
00:37:26.000Because Israel is part of this broader rubric of hierarchical values.
00:37:30.000The way the left views the world is that if you are successful in a civilized system, it is because you have victimized someone.
00:37:36.000This is the view in the United States.
00:37:37.000In the United States, from the left, the view is that if you are successful in the United States, it's because you have white privilege, or because the system was built to accommodate you, or because you have internalized your own whiteness.
00:37:47.000And the same thing happens internationally.
00:37:49.000If there is a group that is successful, and you can castigate them as white, Jews suddenly became white for this purpose, and you can castigate them as white versus the quote-unquote brown Palestinians, which is the way that Rashida Tlaib talks about this, then that is just another indicator of hierarchical systems that have to be torn down, which is why you've heard Rashida Tlaib explicitly say this.
00:38:06.000She'll say Black Lives Matter is the same thing as the Palestinians.
00:38:10.000For a variety of reasons, they are not the same thing.
00:38:13.000For one, Black Lives Matter as a movement, last I checked, was not supposed to be firing rockets into American cities.
00:38:19.000I was told the Black Lives Matter movement was distinct from the rioters and looters.
00:38:21.000If she wants to make a different claim, that's on Rashida Tlaib.
00:38:25.000But it is not a surprise to see Black Lives Matter supporting Hamas.
00:38:28.000They came out and tweeted yesterday, By free Palestine, they don't mean a separate state of Palestine living alongside in peace and harmony a Jewish state.
00:38:33.000They mean wiping out the state of Israel.
00:38:34.000and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation.
00:38:40.000By Free Palestine, they don't mean a separate state of Palestine living alongside in peace and harmony of Jewish states.
00:38:45.000They mean wiping out the state of Israel.
00:38:46.000This has been in the BLM manifesto for quite a while.
00:38:50.000Okay, Faith for Black Lives is a group that put out a letter to the Biden administration trying to urge Biden not to sell weapons to Israel to defend itself.
00:39:20.000How did that movement even get started?
00:39:21.000If you don't know anything about vaping, it's a really interesting sort of business story.
00:39:24.000Wondery's new podcast miniseries, The Vaping Fix, is a story of Silicon Valley idealism, blind ambition, and how the now infamous e-cigarette company, Juul, hooked a new generation on vaping.
00:39:33.000In 2015, the founders of Juul set out to create the iPod of e-cigarettes, a perfectly designed device that would disrupt the tobacco industry and help traditional smokers quit.
00:39:41.000But their fruit-flavored vaping options, high levels of nicotine, and youthful influencer endorsements led to consequences that would put millions at risk as plumes of vape clouds surrounded schools across the nation.
00:39:50.000Parents, politicians, and the government demanded answers.
00:39:52.000Was this Jules' plan all along, or did ambition just blind them from seeing the pitfalls of their own invention?

00:41:55.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:41:58.000So there's a battle going on inside the Democratic Party right now.
00:42:06.000And that battle is, how far do they want to go in pursuit of the radical left's vision of tearing down the system?
00:42:11.000Joe Biden posed himself as a moderate.
00:42:13.000Then, he got into office and he's been very immoderate.
00:42:15.000Okay, with regard to Israel, so far, Joe Biden has been kind of shockingly moderate.
00:42:19.000I would have expected him to cave immediately to the Rashida Tlaibs and the AOCs, but the House Democrats are moving in that direction pretty damned fast.
00:42:26.000House Democrats yesterday blocked consideration of a bill sanctioning Hamas's financial supporters.
00:42:31.000So, Hamas is firing rockets at civilian areas, and House Democrats are trying to protect them.
00:42:35.000According to Fox News, House Democrats rejected a Republican push on Tuesday to consider legislation that would apply sanctions on Hamas militants amid an escalating military conflict with Israel.
00:42:44.000Democrats blocked a bid to bring the Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act up for consideration in a 2-17-209 vote along party lines.
00:42:52.000The bill was introduced by Representative Brian Mast of Florida.
00:42:54.000It would impose sanctions on foreign entities known to have provided financial assistance to Hamas, among other measures.
00:43:09.000But now that Biden is president, and now that half the Democratic Party has proved that it is in the pocket of people who are at least Hamas supporters, they are more than happy to vote down the ability to vote for a bill that would cut off financial aid to Hamas, an actual terrorist group.
00:43:27.000The entire media will cover the battle between Liz Cheney and Kevin McCarthy, but nobody in the media really sees fit to cover the internal battle happening inside the Democratic Party on whether to embrace Hamas or whether to not embrace Hamas.
00:43:36.000And that seems like a major battle because Joe Biden is wavering, right?
00:43:57.000Biden has done the right thing on that.
00:43:59.000He's mostly stayed out at this point, which is the proper thing to do when a United States ally is facing down a terrorist group.
00:44:05.000It's amazing that we have to actually say these things out loud.
00:44:07.000But Biden is simultaneously attempting to placate his left wing.
00:44:11.000So he went and visited Michigan yesterday, and he was hanging out with Rashida Tlaib and decided it would be worthwhile to kiss this anti-Semites ass.
00:44:22.000I tell you what, Rashid, I want to say to you that I admire your intellect, I admire your passion, and I admire your concern for so many other people.
00:44:34.000And it's my, from my heart, I pray that your grandma and family are well.
00:44:40.000I promise you I'm gonna do everything you see that they are on the West Bank.
00:44:44.000You're a fighter, and God thank you for being a fighter.
00:44:49.000It is worthwhile remembering at this point that Rashida Tlaib, upon entering office, somebody went to a world map in her office and put a post-it that said Palestine with an arrow toward Israel.
00:44:59.000So yeah, Rashida Tlaib is a radical anti-Semite.
00:45:01.000She has been for a very, very long time.
00:45:03.000And there is the President of the United States praising her.
00:45:06.000Well, she confronted Biden on Tuesday over his support for Israel, urging him to stop enabling a government she said was committing crimes against Palestinians, according to a Democratic aide familiar with the exchange.
00:45:16.000During a conversation on a tarmac in Detroit, where Biden had arrived to visit a Ford factory, Tlaib echoed a scathing speech she delivered last week on the House floor, telling the president he must do more to protect Palestinian lives and human rights.
00:45:26.000She of course does not care that Hamas is a terrorist group that is presiding over the lives of millions of people in the Gaza Strip and was about to take over running the Judea and Samaria areas of the West Bank as well.
00:45:36.000Meanwhile, You have the Biden administration busily pursuing deals with the people who are enabling Hamas.
00:45:43.000So at the same time that Biden is sort of taking a moderate position on Israel, as a broader policy position, he is not.
00:45:49.000As a broader policy position, the administration continues to pursue some sort of deal with the exact terror state that is enabling Hamas right now.
00:45:57.000According to the New York Times, Iran is exporting hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil each day, violating American sanctions even as world powers negotiate to lift the economic penalties and revitalize a nuclear accord that was rendered all but defunct by the Trump administration.
00:46:09.000So now, Iran is violating the sanctions, they are exporting oil, and the Biden administration is trying to cut a deal with them as they funnel that money into Hamas.
00:46:18.000It's not a consistent or coherent policy, and I just don't think that Biden holds up against the left flank of his party for very long here.
00:46:25.000The Biden administration is far too focused on revitalizing a bad vision of the Middle East in which Iran is a regional power, which is why, of course, Jen Psaki at the White House was ripping the Trump administration for what's going on.
00:46:38.000This is happening as a result of the Biden administration deciding to make nice with Iran.
00:46:42.000And as a result of them deciding to restore aid to Palestinian terrorist groups.
00:46:47.000But here is Jen Psaki trying to blame Trump for that.
00:46:50.000I would say that we are not following the same tactics of the prior administration.
00:46:55.000The president has reinstated humanitarian assistance and security assistance to the Palestinians.
00:47:01.000That's something that was stopped back in 2018 and we felt was not a constructive action by the prior administration.
00:47:08.000Aside from putting forward a peace proposal that was dead on arrival, we don't think they did anything constructive really to bring an end to the long-standing conflict in the Middle East.
00:47:16.000Oh, you mean except for signing actual peace deals between Arab nations and Israel?
00:47:26.000You have members of the Obama administration, who freely acknowledge, by the way, that Hamas uses AP offices as bases, explicitly fundraising for groups like Islamic Relief.
00:47:34.000Crooked Media put out a fundraiser for Islamic Relief, a group that was labeled a an illegal organization by the Israeli Minister of Defense in 2014 because they were directly funneling money to Hamas. And so the sort of red-green alliance lives and it continues to run.
00:47:54.000All righty, we'll be back here today with an additional hour of content.
00:47:56.000We have a lot more that we didn't get to hear, so make sure that you subscribe so you can get that.
