According to the latest Harvard-Harris poll, 60% of people aged 18-24 agree that the October 7th attack on Israel was a genocidal terrorist attack, but 6 in 10 still say it can be justified. The older you are, the more likely you are to agree with Hamas. Why do so many young people support a group that calls for genocide of Jews? Why do they think it is justified? What does it have to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict? And why does it matter that they do so much of their thinking come from such a young age? The answer to all of these questions is simple: It's because they are the ones with the most to think about and the least to do about it. Today's episode is a mashup of the top 3 reasons why something has got to be done about the kids. 1) The kids are the problem, not the old people. 2) The problem is not the adults. 3) It's the kids 4) The future is uncertain, and the future is not. 5) There is no certainty. 6) There will always be something to be worried about. 7) It s going to be a crisis. 8) The world is not going to get better. 9) The economy is going to collapse. 10) It will get worse. 11) Gold and Silver are the only safe haven option. 12) Gold is the best investment you can have in the near future. 13) You can have a tax-free savings account in the form of a Roth IRA or 401k. 15) You don't have to invest in gold, silver and silver in your retirement account, you can get zero interest and get zero tax benefits. 14) You ll get a 20% interest rate on your savings account 15% interest? 16) You'll get a FREE 20% deposit plan! 17) You get 7 years of 3-5% interest when you get $100 or more than $200,000 in a tax year, you get 3 months of 3 years of free gold and silver and $75 in a Swiss bank offer and you get an additional year of $99, you ll get $99 a year of options to start getting $99 or $99 and get a 2-peset plan, they get it all of that for no deposit discount, they'll get $98,98,99,99
00:00:00.000We've seen a lot of disturbing poll results over the course of the last few decades, but I've never personally seen a more disturbing poll result than the results from the latest Harvard-Harris poll out over the weekend.
00:00:10.000Now, to be sure, this poll says that the American public are basically in the realm of sanity, or at least most of the American public are.
00:00:20.000Something has got to be done about the kids.
00:00:23.000According to this latest Harvard-Harris poll, while a strong majority of every age group agree that the October 7th terror slaughter of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of another 240 was indeed a genocidal terror attack, some 60% of people aged 18 to 24 said that genocidal terror attack, quote, can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians.
00:01:21.000When asked about whether students on campus who call for the genocide of Jews should be punished for violating university rules, most Americans, of all age groups, say yes.
00:01:30.000Again, the older you are, the more you agree with that proposition.
00:01:33.000That's not because Americans oppose free speech.
00:01:35.000It's because they realize that literally every element of speech on campus is policed for microaggressions and offense taking.
00:01:43.000So why precisely would genocidal Jew haters be exempt?
00:01:47.000Except, again, for the 18-24 year olds, who believe that while such speech is hate speech, they believe that 70-30, 53% of people aged 18 to 24 believe that students should be told, quote, they are free to call for genocide.
00:02:00.000A majority of people 18 to 24 believe students should be told they are free to call for genocide so long as they are calling for genocide of Jews.
00:02:07.000Yes, we have discovered finally the one thing fragile young people aren't fragile about saying the Jews should die.
00:02:16.000While a majority of young people, 7 in 10, agree that Israel is trying to avoid civilian casualties, and 58% of young people agree that Hamas would like to commit a genocide, 76% of young people think Hamas can be negotiated with to create peace, despite the fact that, again, these same young people will acknowledge that Hamas is a genocidal terror group.
00:02:38.00051% of 18 to 24 year olds think, quote, the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian dispute is for, quote, Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.
00:03:20.000First, if all of this puts you in mind that the future is uncertain and that, you know, there's a lot of trepidation about what's going to happen, at the very least, you might think about diversifying your finances.
00:03:30.000You should diversify your savings with physical precious metals while stockpiling silver in your home safe.
00:03:34.000Birchgold Group's most popular special of the year is on right now through December 22nd.
00:03:38.000For every $5,000 you spend with Birchgold, they will send you a one ounce Silver Eagle coin for free.
00:03:44.000Tax spend to 98.98.98 and claim your eligibility now.
00:04:25.000Again, a majority of people aged 18 to 24 in this latest Harvard-Harris poll believe Israel should be obliterated and Hamas should take its place.
00:04:32.000That same majority believes that Hamas is a genocidal terror group that committed mass rape, that targets civilians, and that wants to kill every Jew.
00:04:42.000Well, thankfully, this poll actually spells out the answer.
00:04:45.000The biggest question and answer takes place on page 56 of this poll.
00:04:49.000This is where we learn that Americans were asked a very simple question, quote, There's an ideology that white people are oppressors and non-white people and people of certain groups have been oppressed and as a result should be favored today at universities and for employment.
00:05:03.000Do you support or oppose this ideology?
00:05:18.000Some white people are oppressors, and some are victims.
00:05:20.000And some non-white people are oppressors, and some are victims.
00:05:22.000The claim that white people are by nature oppressors and that non-white people are the oppressed is ridiculous on the merit.
00:05:28.000After all, here is a partial list of ethnicities who earn more on average than white Americans do.
00:05:34.000Indian-Americans, Filipino-Americans, Taiwanese-Americans, Sri Lankan-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Malaysian-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Pakistani-Americans, the list goes on and on.
00:05:43.000Well, as you might expect, most Americans believe that this intersectional ideology is quite terrible.
00:05:49.00065% of Americans overall believe that the ideology that white people are oppressors and non-white people and people of certain groups have been oppressed.
00:05:55.00065% of Americans believe that that ideology is bad and they oppose it.
00:06:43.000The evil of critical race theory, or as we now call it more innocuously, diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, the stuff that you hear on campus at your corporation, it rears its head in all of the ugliest places.
00:06:54.000Now, we shouldn't be all that shocked by these numbers among young people for this oppressor oppressed white people versus everyone else evil binary.
00:07:02.000The Barack Obama coalition of the supposedly marginalized, which for Democrats always meant racial and sexual minorities, is numerically strongest among young people.
00:07:10.000Just 52% of 18 to 24 year olds are white in America.
00:07:13.000Similarly, about 20% of generations years, disproportionately white, say they're LGBTQ plus minus divided by signs.
00:07:20.000So, if you believe in intersectional ideology, there are a lot of people who fit right into that intersectional ideology.
00:07:28.000Hispanic voters in Florida, for example, are voting increasingly Republican.
00:07:32.000It shouldn't really matter how many young people in America are white or not white because they're all individuals and they should stop thinking stupid crap no matter their ethnicity.
00:07:40.000But the left's core oppressor-oppressed philosophy is that all that matters is your group identity.
00:07:45.000If you're a minority, but not a Jew or an Asian seeking to get into college, you are a victim.
00:07:50.000As the radical left wins ideologically, it's no surprise that group minority identity, a demographically growing piece of the American pie, is driving anti-white hatred in larger numbers.
00:08:01.000And by proxy, anti-Jewish hatred as well.
00:08:03.000Because young people have been indoctrinated by three generations of this trash, it's becoming part and parcel of the Democratic Party playbook.
00:08:10.000Right now, there is a battle for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party itself between the moderate liberals and the radical left.
00:08:16.000The moderates still think the system can be changed and shaped in order to accommodate the supposedly marginalized, the demands of the people who feel excluded.
00:08:24.000But they don't actually believe the system ought to be obliterated.
00:08:27.000The Biden administration is supposedly on this team.
00:08:29.000They wave their hands a lot at equity, but they don't actually seek to implement it in the ways the radicals would most love, which is why you see the radical left, for example, very angry at Joe Biden these days.
00:08:38.000The radicals think the moderates are weak and foolish, and they are more than happy to use them as their tools.
00:08:43.000That's why, for example, the New York Times is suddenly all in favor of free speech, but only when it comes to students chanting for Israel's obliteration.
00:08:50.000According to the New York Times over the weekend, quote, universities are under tremendous pressure to stamp out
00:08:54.000antisemitism, but some say that is causing fear and curbing free
00:08:58.000Free speech on campus has never been much of a priority for the New York Times, needless to say.
00:09:04.000The same weekend the New York Times ran this rather long piece, former op-ed page editor James Bennett of the New York Times wrote a 16,000-word essay for The Economist, slamming the Times for their own censoriousness.
00:09:17.000They destroyed his career for the great sin of platforming Senator Tom Cotton, a sitting senator who advocated in 2020 for using the National Guard to put down violent riots.
00:09:25.000Here's what Bennett wrote, quote, The New York Times, in other words, is a font head of censorship.
00:10:00.000What the radicals want is to use the tools of liberalism in order to push radical, illiberal evil designed to tear down the West.
00:10:07.000That is what is happening with young people who are now suggesting that in the name of diversity and tolerance and equity and inclusion, Israel, the only tolerant and diverse country in the entire Middle East, ought to be destroyed and replaced with the Sharia law terrorists of Hamas.
00:10:21.000That is why young people are preaching diversity, equity, inclusion in the United States.
00:10:25.000And what they really mean is anti-white hatred in the name of reparative justice, quote unquote.
00:10:32.000This is, by the way, why we see piece after piece in the mainstream media talking about the generation gap among young Jews who seem not to understand their foolishly liberal parents who spent decades telling their kids they're all for a variety of viewpoints, no judgment here, while kids were indoctrinated with hatred of their own parents and their own civilization.
00:10:49.000Take, for example, a story from today's Wall Street Journal about a family called the Wertschafters.
00:10:54.000Grandma Wertschafter lived with her husband and children in Jerusalem during the 1973 war, the Yom Kippur War.
00:11:00.000Her son David, one generation removed, is a Reform rabbi in Lexington, Kentucky, who calls himself a progressive Zionist.
00:11:08.000This is code for a Jewish guy by birth who cares more about progressivism than anything remotely Jewish.
00:11:12.000He then married another progressive Zionist who herself, quote, has studied right-wing religious movements and said she is troubled by ethno-nationalism in all of its forms.
00:11:20.000So she's a rabid left-winger and is happy to label her opponents ethno-nationalists.
00:11:24.000Both of them consider themselves believers in the definitionless mush of tikkun olam, a term frequently used by Jews by birth who don't really believe much about Judaism, but are looking for a Hebrew phrase to hang their anti-biblical left-wing social justice politics upon.
00:11:39.000Tikkun olam has no predicate in halakha in Jewish law.
00:11:42.000It is literally a phrase in one prayer that has been blown into an entire ideology that has very little to do or nothing to do with actual Jewish practice.
00:11:51.000So, how did these progressive Zionists raise their kids?
00:11:54.000Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, they imparted that Jewish concept of pursuing social justice to their two children and encouraged them to think critically and speak up.
00:12:02.000Their daughter and son, Emmanuel and Zachariah, now hate Israel and wish it to be disestablished as a Jewish state.
00:12:09.000Emmanuel El said she wouldn't even attend post-October 7th events that featured Israeli flags.
00:12:15.000Now that problem isn't unique to Jews.
00:12:17.000It's a generational problem across the West.
00:12:19.000Liberal parents breed radical children who use the cowardice of their parents, who refuse to stand for any principle other than openness and tolerance, They use that as their leverage to tear down the entire system.
00:12:31.000Meanwhile, their milk-sop coward parents sit there and nod their heads weakly as they explain
00:12:35.000as the Warchafters do, quote, I don't agree with Emanuel on every political issue,
00:12:39.000including aspects of this current crisis, but I'm tremendously proud of her for standing up for what
00:12:50.000Are you still supposed to be proud that they are quote-unquote thinking for themselves?
00:12:54.000Or have you idiotically turned your own children into radicals who hate you and everything that your own principles were based upon?
00:13:02.000Radicals have been playing this game since the 1960s, and quietly, they have been winning.
00:13:06.000And they will continue to win until disaffected liberals realize they have been played for suckers and stop mouthing platitudes about the joy of tolerance and diversity as their own children prepare their defenestration in the name of weaponized social justice.
00:13:20.000In just one second, we'll get to the latest from Israel where, again, people keep trying to create some sort of momentum for a peace deal that does not exist with an actual honest-to-God terror group.
00:13:38.000Whether you're making calls on a beach in the Bahamas, on the steps of Buckingham Palace, or at your villa in Santorini, you can dial away.
00:14:28.000And this poll should be deeply, deeply troubling to anyone with half a brain because what it says Is that an entire generation of young people has been indoctrinated to believe that one segment of society is responsible for the ills of every other segment of society.
00:14:51.000By the way, one of the things that's truly insane here is the same exact poll that shows that 79% of young people actually believe in this terrible ideology.
00:15:01.00049% of young people believe it's bad for the United States.
00:15:04.000So it's almost split 50-50 on whether young people believe this ideology is bad for the United States, but 8 to 2, they agree with the ideology anyway, which suggests they don't like the United States very much.
00:15:14.000Hey, that's how bad things have gotten with the younger generation.
00:15:18.000And again, that is because of their parents.
00:15:19.000That is because an entire educational system that has been driven by the notion
00:15:24.000that you don't have to teach your kids what to think, you teach them quote unquote, how to think.
00:15:28.000Well, no, it starts with teaching your kids what to think.
00:15:31.000Only afterwards are they qualified to think about how to think.
00:15:36.000It turns out that if the only thing you teach your kids is all thoughts are equally good,
00:15:40.000you have taught them nothing, you're a fool.
00:15:42.000If what you have taught your kids is that the essence of any good society
00:15:48.000is simply the amount of dissent that takes place in the society
00:15:51.000rather than the fundamental principles upon which the society is based.
00:15:54.000You shouldn't be surprised when dissent is then used as a weapon to tear down the very thing you treasure.
00:16:01.000Herbert Marcuse was a philosopher from the 1960s, Frankfurt School philosopher.
00:16:05.000He taught among other places at Columbia and Harvard.
00:16:08.000And in the University of California system, and he coined a term that he called repressive tolerance.
00:16:12.000Repressive tolerance was the idea that all ideas that oppose the left ought to be repressed.
00:16:18.000Because after all, there was this conspiratorial system in which a very powerful group of people at the top kept everyone else down.
00:16:24.000And free speech, all the liberal principles were actually inventions of the powerful.
00:16:30.000This is the post-modernist deconstructionist ideology, which is that there are no principles, there's only systems of power.
00:16:36.000So that means that free speech is a system of power, property rights is a system of power.
00:16:40.000All of that, said Marcuse, have been manipulated by people at the very top level, and that has to be torn down in order to re-establish some form of equality or equity or social justice.
00:16:50.000And then he said, the only way to do that, to tear down the system, is to repress people that we disagree with.
00:16:55.000That's how you end up with people who purport to be on the left, who are supporting Hamas, which throws gay people off roofs.
00:17:09.000Queers for Palestine only exists as a group because of this ideology, that you're either a member of the oppressor class or a member of the oppressed class, and that's all that matters in life.
00:17:18.000That's also how you end up justifying the myriad evils of Hamas, because it doesn't matter what they do.
00:17:23.000They're always oppressed enough that they can do whatever they want.
00:17:26.000Your level of oppression now justifies literally anything and everything.
00:17:30.000So over the weekend, we saw a wide variety of Hamas human rights violations, Israel, for example, released a tape of an entire terror tunnel that was built by Hamas.
00:19:03.000With their faces cloaked, and they are holding weapons.
00:19:06.000Almost as though what Israel claimed, which is that every bit of humanitarian aid would be stolen by Hamas, was true.
00:19:11.000Because they stole all of the humanitarian aid, and they are using it to continue their terror war that has ended with the complete destruction of the Gaza Strip.
00:19:20.000Things are so bad in the Gaza Strip that over the weekend, one of the most tragic stories of the war occurred.
00:19:25.000Israel accidentally, the IDF, accidentally killed three of the hostages who were taken.
00:19:30.000They had apparently escaped, their captors, and they had attempted to paint a sign on a sheet that said Hetzilu, right, help us, and it said three Hatufim, meaning three hostages.
00:19:42.000And Israel thought that it was a trap.
00:20:14.000And it is entirely the fall of Hamas because those people wouldn't be in Gaza in the first place if they had not been taken into Gaza.
00:20:21.000And meanwhile, members of the left wing are like, well, that's obvious that Israel is committing human rights violations.
00:20:26.000You literally have 18, 19, and 20-year-old guys who are going into Gaza and getting killed by the dozens in order to preserve the life of civilians in these areas.
00:20:35.000And meanwhile, the West continues to maintain that the real onus is on Israel.
00:20:40.000In just one second, we'll talk about what the United States is doing.
00:20:43.000Again, they're giving all these mixed signals when it comes to Israel as per the usual arrangement.

00:21:47.000Okay, meanwhile, according to the New York Times, The United States is now pushing Israel to quote-unquote scale back the war.
00:21:55.000Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who has been one of the worst officials in the administration on this, was traveling on Sunday in the Middle East for a visit to Israel and three Persian Gulf nations as Biden administration officials push Israel to end its large-scale grounds and air campaign in the Gaza Strip within weeks and transition to a more focused phase in its war against Hamas.
00:22:13.000I'm sure Israel's like, okay, you got, you want to lay out your plans?
00:22:16.000Really, like, if you have some magical plans by which Israel can make the Gaza Strip safe and quiescent, I'm sure Israel is willing to hear it considering they currently have tens of thousands of troops deployed in the Gaza Strip right now doing heavy hand-to-hand urban combat.
00:22:29.000Austin is supposed to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Galant to discuss in detail what and how Israeli forces will carry out a new phase that American officials envision would involve smaller groups of elite forces.
00:22:40.000officials said those forces would move in and out of population centers in Gaza, conducting more precise intelligence-driven missions to find and kill Hamas leaders, rescue hostages, and destroy tunnels, according to those U.S.
00:22:52.000Now, realistically speaking, the fact is that Israel is going to have to continue the heavy ground operation for at least another couple of weeks.
00:22:58.000Presumably, the United States is not going to continue to push for the idea that Israel should preemptively end its military actions against Hamas.
00:23:08.000But I have to say, there's nothing more tiresome, and this is true, whether we're talking about American troops in harm's way in Fallujah, whether you're talking about Israeli troops in harm's way in Gaza, there is nothing more tiresome than listening to politicians jabber about civilian casualties while armies are doing their best to protect both their own soldiers and civilians who are being used as human shields.
00:23:27.000Chris Van Hollen, Senator from Maryland, he says, we're seeing too many casualties.
00:23:30.000Again, I'm sure that if he had a magical way to avoid that, Israel would be all ears.
00:23:35.000So, Senator Van Hollen, you heard President Biden's message quite clear there.
00:23:39.000Jake Sullivan was obviously in Israel delivering a similar message.
00:23:44.000Now we've learned overnight that Defense Secretary Austin is on his way to the region.
00:23:50.000Well, I don't think it's getting through clearly enough because we continue to see unacceptably high levels of civilian casualties.
00:24:00.000And when it comes to the humanitarian crisis, we still have a near total siege.
00:24:07.000Question, what would the acceptable level of civilian casualties be given that Israel's ratio of terrorists killed to civilians killed is actually lower than in any modern conflict ever in a heavy urban area?
00:24:20.000But what it really underscores is that for the West, there is still this sort of baseline liberal belief that if you cave to intransigent terrorists somehow, this makes the world a better place.
00:24:32.000Well, the Biden administration is finding out the hard way that isn't the truth when it comes to Yemen.
00:24:36.000The Houthis are holding up the shipping through the Bab el-Mandib Strait, which is a place where about 10% of all world shipping goes through.
00:24:44.000And now there's talk about not even using that particular area for shipping because of Houthi pirates in the area who are coming from Yemen.
00:24:50.000The Houthis, you'll recall, are a delisted terror group.
00:24:53.000They were a terror group that the Biden administration came in and immediately delisted as a terror group upon entry in an attempt to placate the Iranians.
00:24:59.000Because remember, the Biden administration wanted to make a deal with Iran as they spread their terror tentacles all over the Middle East.
00:25:04.000Well now, according to the Wall Street Journal, the press is reporting that the Biden administration is contemplating the use of military force in response to continuing attacks on commercial shipping by the Houthi militia in Yemen.
00:25:14.000The Houthi missile attacks pose the most significant threat to global shipping in decades.
00:25:17.000They'll continue unless a global coalition unites to stop them.
00:25:21.000The USS Karni, a destroyer operating in the Red Sea, shot down no fewer than 14 attack drones launched from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen on Saturday alone.
00:25:29.000A British warship shot down a Houthi drone after it was dispatched to the region to protect commercial ships.
00:25:33.000This follows weeks of similar attacks U.S.
00:25:35.000warships have felt obliged to intercept to protect themselves and other ships.
00:25:39.000The Houthis have said that their attacks are aimed at stopping Israeli vessels, but apparently they're not just doing that.
00:25:47.000They struck a Liberian flagship in the Red Sea on Friday, and they launched two ballistic missiles, one of which struck another commercial ship as well.
00:25:55.000This is making the Red Sea non-navigable.
00:25:57.000Major commercial ship lines have already announced they will cease sending ships into harm's way.
00:26:00.000Maersk, which is the shipping giant, has stopped sending vessels through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
00:26:47.000Top Biden administration officials apparently, according to Politico, are actively weighing those options to strike back at the Houthis in Yemen.
00:26:54.000They've been reluctant to respond militarily against the Houthi attacks on commercial shipping for fear of provoking Iran.
00:27:40.000It turns out people have their own interests, and they pursue those own interests with alacrity, particularly in the face of American weakness.
00:27:47.000If America can't guarantee the freedom of the seas against a A few ragtag pirate dolts in the Bab-El-Mandeb Strait.
00:27:57.000What the hell do you think China... You want to talk about what China's thinking?
00:27:59.000There's been a lot of talk about how the pullout from Afghanistan, the precipitous pullout from Afghanistan and collapse of Afghanistan to the Taliban, how that incentivized Vladimir Putin to take Ukraine or attempt to take Ukraine, and how what's going on in Ukraine is then going to have knockover effects and follow-on effects with regard to China looking at Taiwan.
00:28:15.000Well, one of the reasons why China would be concerned about taking Taiwan is because American economic interests would be threatened.
00:28:21.000Taiwan is the producer of 92% of the world's sophisticated microchips.
00:28:25.000Not only that, Chinese naval activity in the South China Sea threatens the free shipping of the world and radically changes the global economy.
00:28:34.000Well, China might be thinking pretty seriously.
00:28:36.000Do I want to take on deep water, blue water navies like the United States, even in my own backyard?
00:28:44.000Is that a conflict I want to take on if the United States is really actually confident about trying to protect global shipping?
00:28:50.000If the United States can't even protect shipping in the Red Sea against a bunch of pathetic pirates, hoovy pirates, illiterate jackasses, why exactly would China look at America's naval power and shudder?
00:29:05.000They would have to believe that going up against the Chinese, the United States is liable to be a lot more wary and careful than they would against, you know, the hoovies.
00:29:14.000But still, everybody continues to futz around.
00:29:18.000Chris Van Hollen, same person who's saying, I'm very worried about civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip.
00:29:26.000I noticed the escalation is already happening from the Houthis who are attacking ships.
00:29:32.000How worried are you that this is about to escalate?
00:29:35.000And actually, I mean, should it escalate in terms of the United States actually attacking these Houthi positions in Yemen?
00:29:43.000Well, I worry a lot about escalation, both in the Red Sea area with the Houthis, and as you say, we've shot down their drones.
00:29:50.000We also have to keep an eye on the northern front with Hezbollah.
00:29:54.000This is why President Biden sent two aircraft carriers groups to the region, to prevent that kind of escalation.
00:30:01.000To send a message to Iran, to Hezbollah and others.
00:30:04.000So look, I think that the administration has been smart in terms of how it's responded to those attacks, but clearly the risk of an American being killed in the process is high and that would obviously create a big response from the United States.
00:30:24.000Or the United States could, you know, not wait until an American is killed and just eviscerate the Houthis without, again, engaging in nation building.
00:30:32.000You're talking about whether the world's most formidable military, the most formidable military in history, is capable of tamping down a small kitchen fire.
00:30:41.000That is what you're talking about right now.
00:30:44.000Meanwhile, the United States Senate continues to function like the whorehouse that it is.

00:33:28.000Well, then that's apparently all they actually do.
00:33:31.000So, in the worst story of the day, and there are a lot of bad stories, it turns out that there is a Democrat staffer.
00:33:42.000This person's name is Aidan Mace Jaropsky.
00:33:45.000A staffer for Maryland Democrat Senator Ben Cardin.
00:33:49.000He was terminated over the weekend because he was identified online as allegedly one of the two participants in a very graphic porn video filmed in a Senate hearing room.
00:33:57.000That video was then shared in the chat of a private group for gay men in politics, according to the Daily Caller.
00:34:05.000In his LinkedIn page, Mace Jaropsky claimed to be a victim of prejudice.
00:34:57.000The sub-headline, by the way, from NBC read, quote, conservative news outlets alleged that the aide to Senator Ben Cardin appeared in a leaked video showing men having sex in a Senate hearing room.
00:35:07.000A Jewish Ohio Republican named Max Miller has also identified this person.
00:35:12.000This is the same person who said, free Palestine at him last week.
00:36:13.000I'm pretty sure it's all Americans talk about for the last several decades.
00:36:16.000Dr. Leandro Mena has plenty of reasons to lie awake at night.
00:36:19.000Over the two years he led the CDC's division of STD prevention, he's seen sexually transmitted infections hit record levels, including the highest number of syphilis cases since the Truman administration.
00:36:27.000So obviously he's doing an incredible job.
00:36:32.000But he says, the biggest problem is really our culture.
00:36:35.000We as a society have a tremendous difficulty talking about sex and recognizing that sex is a normal activity and part of our human experience.
00:36:41.000With so much stigma around sex, it bleeds right into the general population and acts like a wall that prevents them from accessing the services that they need.
00:36:48.000Yes, America's giant STD breakout is because people are too shy talking about sex.
00:36:57.000Or alternatively, we are a godless culture that has championed the animal instinct above every part of what it means to be a meaningful human being.
00:37:06.000And this is why you can do a gay porn video in the Senate and then act like a victim in our culture.
00:37:17.000Well, speaking of people getting screwed at the Senate.
00:37:21.000So, the Senate continues to futz around on this border-slash-Ukraine-slash-Israel-slash-Taiwan funding bill.
00:37:28.000Apparently, the Democrats are still attempting to hold up negotiations with regard to border provisions on this giant $105 billion spending package.
00:37:40.000Democrats are not really making clear what exactly their negotiating position is.
00:37:44.000Republicans aren't making clear what their negotiating position is on the border.
00:37:49.000So, Representative Tony Gonzalez, Republican of Texas, he says, listen, we're close, but Republicans, you know, they can't wait on making a border deal.
00:37:55.000That's why we're putting it in there in the first place.
00:37:58.000If this is an emergency, you would, in theory, want this to move quickly.
00:38:02.000Has the Speaker given you any indication of a timeline if the Senate can get this deal?
00:38:11.000He hasn't, and I don't think many people have, even on the Senate side.
00:38:14.000I mean, the easiest thing to do in politics is just to wait, you know, wait for somebody else to pop their head out and build a framework and put it all together.
00:39:24.000So what exactly are Democrats doing here?
00:39:25.000Because again, as I've said before, this could be a big win-win for Joe Biden.
00:39:29.000If he passes a bill and he gets his Ukraine funding and his Israel funding, Israel funding is bipartisan popular, and border security, which actually will be good for him, what exactly is he waiting for?
00:39:39.000The answer is that this is a 2024 election ploy, this Senate bill.
00:39:44.000That's why they're jamming everybody up on the border.
00:39:46.000So here is the calculation that Joe Biden and the Democrats are making.
00:39:49.000The calculation is that Americans will want the Ukraine aid and the Israel aid, but the Democrats can't make a border deal with those crazy Republicans because the crazy Republicans are a bunch of racists like Trump.
00:40:09.000One is claiming that Republicans are so pro-Putin that they won't just pass a clean Ukraine bill.
00:40:14.000This is, again, Senator Chris Van Hollen, idiot from Maryland, suggesting it's a pivotal moment for American leadership in history.
00:40:19.000Not so pivotal that they'll actually pass a bill, but pivotal enough to grandstand about it.
00:40:24.000I think it's essential that we provide military assistance to Ukraine.
00:40:27.000This is a pivotal moment in American leadership and history.
00:40:33.000And we need to make sure that we help our Ukrainian friends against Putin's aggression, not just to protect their freedom, but because it would send a terrible signal around the world to our allies who would no longer trust us and to our adversaries who would be emboldened if we're not doing that.
00:40:51.000I do love the mixed signals from Van Hollen.
00:40:53.000When it comes to Israel, it's like, we gotta stop this.
00:41:03.000But why won't they just sign the border deal?
00:41:05.000The reason they won't sign the border deal is they need to keep the border issue alive, they think.
00:41:09.000Because they think that if they keep the border issue alive, they're going to be able to polarize the American population around the border issue, which again, is a very weird calculation being made.
00:41:18.000Because if you look at the polls, what you see is Americans trust Republicans on immigration way more than they trust Democrats.
00:41:24.000Which is why you would think that if this were 1998 and Dick Morris were running the Clinton administration, there'd be some sort of triangulation where Democrats would sign on to border security provisions.
00:41:37.000They believe that Donald Trump will make even the right-wing immigration position that most Americans like and are sympathetic to unpalatable.
00:41:45.000So that was the story over the weekend with regards to the Trump campaign.
00:41:48.000So right now, the polls are kind of fascinating.
00:41:52.000But again, Iowa's a weird state to poll because it's a caucus state.
00:41:55.000It's not just a straight up Democratic vote state.
00:41:58.000It's a place where you get together in little rooms with groups and then you have first choices and second choices.
00:42:03.000So if you vote for Nikki Haley and she doesn't make the runoff, then you can shift your vote to DeSantis, something like that.
00:42:07.000So, still a possibility that DeSantis could win Iowa, although the latest poll has Trump up over 30 points in Iowa.
00:42:13.000Things are getting a lot closer in New Hampshire, however.
00:42:16.000The latest poll from New Hampshire has Trump up only 15, 44 to 29 over Nikki Haley.
00:42:20.000And there's still another 21% outstanding between Christie and DeSantis in New Hampshire.
00:42:26.000So things are starting to get a little tight in New Hampshire for President Trump's comfort.
00:42:31.000So Donald Trump was back out on the stump and this is going to be the biggest problem in his campaign is that he's just going to say things that set things on fire.
00:42:39.000So here is Donald Trump over the weekend and he was talking about immigration.
00:42:43.000Now, I think that this comment is being rather deliberately misread by the media because this is the usual arrangement.
00:42:49.000However, is Donald Trump apt to say things that set things on fire?
00:42:54.000Yeah, that's literally his entire career.
00:42:55.000So here was Trump rallying in New Hampshire.
00:43:14.000They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world.
00:43:24.000They're coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.
00:43:34.000Okay, so this is why Joe Biden and Democrats are gambling on not passing a bill that includes border security.
00:43:50.000Because what they are hoping is that they will be able to play comments like the one that Trump just made there and say that what Trump is, Trump's immigration policy is racist.
00:43:57.000Get together the coalition of the dispossessed to stop Trump.

00:46:27.000He's talking about his political opposition.
00:46:29.000He's saying they're letting everyone into the country.
00:46:31.000They're poisoning the blood, not immigrants.
00:46:34.000They, meaning that when you have a brand open border and you're letting in anyone up to and including people on the terror watch list, when you're letting people through who don't have any job qualifications, when you're letting through members of MS-13, Well then, you, as the person in charge of the immigration system, are poisoning the blood of the country.
00:46:50.000Now, I don't like that phraseology, because again, it's deliberately vague, and it's very inflammatory if read in a particular way, which is how the media are reading it, obviously.
00:46:59.000He doesn't mean immigrants are poisoning the blood of the country.
00:47:01.000He means that the people who are leaving the border open are thereby degrading what it means to be American.
00:47:09.000Which is true for any country, by the way, that has completely open borders.
00:47:12.000Countries, generally speaking, with welfare states should not have completely open borders.
00:47:17.000Everybody is figuring this out in Europe, by the way.
00:47:19.000So, again, if you just stop the clip right there, what he is talking about is Democrats.
00:47:25.000Then he moves on, he starts talking about immigrants.
00:47:26.000But he starts, you use the same word, he says they, right?
00:47:29.000But the they he's now referring to are immigrants.
00:47:33.000...and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world.
00:47:41.000They're coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.
00:47:52.000The terrorism is going to be... Now he's switched topics, right?
00:47:55.000He's now talking about the immigrants themselves.
00:47:57.000He says, they're coming into our country.
00:47:58.000They're pouring in from all these different places.
00:48:00.000The crime is going to be tremendous and all the rest.
00:48:01.000And that's no different from anything that he's been saying about illegal immigration the whole time.
00:48:05.000So, what the media are doing is they're saying that when he says, they're poisoning the blood of our country, that's the quote, that's the big catch quote, they're using that to say that he means immigrants as opposed to Democrats setting immigration policy.
00:50:16.000This is the reason they're not cutting some sort of border deal.
00:50:19.000Because they continue to believe strongly that if they run against Trump, then any deal they cut with Republicans will look like a deal with Trump.
00:50:26.000They would rather get nothing done in the Senate.
00:50:28.000They would rather let Ukraine and Israel and Taiwan aid all die than give some sort of border deal, apparently, to the Republicans.
00:50:36.000They would much rather sit aside and let all of that die so that they can yell at Trump and suggest that the Republicans are fascist Trump tools.
00:50:43.000That's the only logic that I can discern for why Joe Biden hasn't just cut a border deal by now.
00:50:47.000That's literally the only rationale I can think of for why they haven't just cut a border deal, which would be a net win for him if he did.
00:50:54.000It would take immigration partially off the table because you could say he triangulated on the issue.
00:50:58.000Alrighty, in just one second, we will get to The Democratic side of the aisle, where Hunter Biden continues to be a millstone around the Biden campaign's neck.
