The Ben Shapiro Show - The Oscars Is Filled With Trash Humans

00:00:00.000 So, the Academy Awards happened last night, and it was less of a failure than usual.

00:00:05.000 It was more entertaining than usual.

00:00:06.000 Sure, it was still like nine hours long, but it had its moments.

00:00:10.000 Oppenheimer walked away with Best Picture last night.

00:00:13.000 Christopher Nolan properly walked away with Best Director last night.

00:00:16.000 Cillian Murphy walked away with Best Actor last night.

00:00:18.000 So, Oppenheimer did really well.

00:00:20.000 Barbie, which was my second biggest priority, failed.

00:00:22.000 Barbie did not do well last night, and there are people in the office who will die on the Hill.

00:00:27.000 of saying that the reason Barbie got nominated for so many awards is specifically because I made a

00:00:31.000 45-minute review actually burning Barbies and so then every member of the academy felt a moral

00:00:36.000 obligation to nominate Barbie in categories it had no business being in. It won one award for

00:00:42.000 best original song which of course was pretty much the only thing that that Barbie should have been 0.92

00:00:46.000 up for in the first place. Best supporting actress went to Divine Joy Randolph from the Holdovers

00:00:52.000 but overall what it was not nearly as bad as the Oscars of past years have been. 0.99

00:00:58.000 However, the Oscars is still a trash fire filled with trash human beings. 0.99

00:01:02.000 And this is the message for today. 1.00

00:01:04.000 Hollywood is a place filled with people who do not share your values.

00:01:07.000 In fact, they do not like your values.

00:01:09.000 Yes, they are very beautiful.

00:01:10.000 And yes, they are very glamorous. 0.95

00:01:12.000 And also they have very, very small moral brains. 0.69

00:01:14.000 Their small moral brains are not capable of understanding the world around them.

00:01:19.000 They live in this little artistic bubble.

00:01:22.000 The Bohemian Grove of Los Angeles, in which everyone is tolerant of everyone else's excesses, and which everyone thinks exactly the way that they do.

00:01:31.000 And if only everyone thought like Hollywood, then they too would have massively dysfunctional marriages, drug problems, and screwed up children.

00:01:37.000 Then everything would be better.

00:01:38.000 That is the way that Hollywood thinks about itself.

00:01:40.000 They are the expositors of higher morality to you, the tiny little peons of people.

00:01:45.000 To you, the humdrum little people.

00:01:47.000 And there was a lot of that last night.

00:01:48.000 So I want to go through The good, and then we'll get to the very, very moral bad of the Oscars.

00:01:53.000 So, the good.

00:01:54.000 First of all, let's just point out that Jimmy Kimmel should never host an Oscars again. 0.66

00:01:58.000 Jimmy Kimmel is not good at hosting the Oscars, because he's an unpleasant human being.

00:02:02.000 You know who actually is quite pleasant on camera, despite the fact that he's had a bunch of moral foibles of his own, which he's admitted to, obviously, is John Mulaney.

00:02:09.000 So, the highlight of the Oscars award evening was John Mulaney, who had a minute and 30 seconds.

00:02:13.000 And John Mulaney was the best thing on the show.

00:02:15.000 Here was Mulaney, last night, introducing the category for best sound design.

00:02:20.000 And now, the Oscar for Achievement in Sound.

00:02:23.000 You know, for years, movies didn't have sound.

00:02:26.000 And then, they figured it out.

00:02:29.000 Some people say that the silent era was the golden era of film. 0.99

00:02:33.000 These people are difficult and insane.

00:02:36.000 Without sound, we wouldn't have been able to hear such classic lines as, You're gonna need a bigger boat.

00:02:41.000 I'll have what she's having.

00:02:42.000 And he was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died.

00:02:48.000 Or what about that moment in Field of Dreams when we hear, if you build it, he will come.

00:02:54.000 And then Costner does it.

00:02:55.000 He builds a baseball field.

00:02:56.000 Well, I guess he doesn't build it.

00:02:57.000 He mows down corn, and then there is a field.

00:03:00.000 And then he's like, I'm going to watch Ghost play baseball.

00:03:03.000 And the bank is like, you want to pay your mortgage?

00:03:04.000 And he's like, nah, I'm going to watch Ghost play baseball.

00:03:06.000 And then he finds James Earl Jones, who wrote The Boat Rocker, which I thought was a real book deep into my 20s.

00:03:12.000 And he's like, people will come, Ray.

00:03:14.000 He's the only one with a financial plan.

00:03:16.000 But what's weird is, Timothy Busfield pushes little Gabby Hoffman off the bleachers, and she falls down and she's unconscious.

00:03:23.000 Then Burt Lancaster is Moonlight Graham, and he comes up and he pats her on the back a couple times, and he's like, hot dogs, stuck in the throat.

00:03:30.000 And then he can't go back in the game!

00:03:31.000 Because I guess there's a rule, in ghost baseball, that if you leave the field at any point to become an elderly ghost and do the Heimlich Maneuver, you can't return to the field.

00:03:42.000 I love Field of Dreams, that should win Best Picture.

00:03:46.000 Though they'll probably go with one of this year's.

00:03:50.000 Here are the nominees for Achievement and Sense.

00:03:57.000 So, um, that was the best thing at the Oscars last night by far, and he should definitely host the Oscars next year.

00:04:02.000 Again, I'm gonna do some highlights here because it wasn't all bad last night.

00:04:06.000 Ryan Gosling performing I'm Just Ken, because again, the Barbie movie is actually about how Ken is better than Barbie.

00:04:11.000 Here is Ryan Gosling performing this and this is, you know, kind of a throwback to a time when the Oscars was a little

00:04:16.000 fun.

00:04:16.000 It doesn't seem to matter what I do, I'm always number two.

00:04:35.000 No one knows how hard I try, oh I have feelings I can't explain, driving me insane.

00:04:50.000 All my life been so polite.

00:04:55.000 That's Mark Ronson right there.

00:04:56.000 there. Yeah, this is... Okay, so honestly, this was one of the better things at the Oscars

00:05:22.000 and then obviously everybody pointing out that he goes down to the crowd and he's singing

00:05:26.000 with Emma Stone, who he was in La La Land with.

00:05:30.000 Okay, fine.

00:05:30.000 So this is what the Oscars used to be.

00:05:32.000 It was actually stars doing star kind of things.

00:05:34.000 And again, I hated Barbie, but this was actually entertaining and somewhat interesting.

00:05:40.000 The other highlights, this is kind of a highlight lowlight.

00:05:42.000 For some reason, John Cena was naked on stage.

00:05:44.000 I don't know why that was a thing.

00:05:45.000 Um, I was mostly just confused as to why somebody thought this should be a gag, but apparently it was a thing that they'd have.

00:05:52.000 Again, at least they're trying.

00:05:53.000 They're trying.

00:05:54.000 Here is John Cena.

00:05:55.000 Now maybe this should have been low lights, actually.

00:06:10.000 It was awkward.

00:06:17.000 Costumes.

00:06:26.000 They are so important.

00:06:27.000 Thank you.

00:06:28.000 Thank you.

00:06:29.000 Maybe the most important thing there is.

00:06:34.000 I can't open the envelope without the... The nominees for Best Costume Design are...

00:06:42.000 Okay, so, yeah, I mean, again, at least they are trying.

00:06:46.000 We'll get some more on this in just a moment.

00:06:48.000 First, the financial experts said we were in the clear.

00:06:50.000 While experts anticipated rate cuts, inflation in the United States remains a significant economic concern.

00:06:55.000 Think about it.

00:06:56.000 The United States right now is in the hole by $34 trillion.

00:06:58.000 But we're gonna keep spending, we're gonna keep printing, and that's gonna keep pushing up those prices.

00:07:03.000 So, you can bury your head in the sand or you can do something about it.

00:07:06.000 Diversification, always a smart financial strategy.

00:07:08.000 Diversify a portion of your savings into gold with Birch Gold Group.

00:07:12.000 Gold is your hedge against inflation.

00:07:13.000 Birch Gold makes it easy to own.

00:07:15.000 They'll help you convert your existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.

00:07:19.000 You're not going to pay a penny out of pocket.

00:07:21.000 Gold is part of my saving strategy.

00:07:22.000 I get it from Birch Gold.

00:07:23.000 They've been the exclusive gold partner of The Daily Wire for over seven years now, literally helping thousands of our listeners.

00:07:28.000 They can help you as well.

00:07:29.000 Text Ben to 989898, get your free info kit on gold, then talk to a precious metals specialist about protecting your savings from persistent inflation with gold.

00:07:37.000 Text Ben to 989898.

00:07:39.000 Right now diversification always a smart strategy.

00:07:41.000 Text Ben to 989898 to get started.

00:07:44.000 Okay, now we get to the bad. 0.99

00:07:46.000 So, the Oscars is always filled with dumb politics. 1.00

00:07:48.000 Like, terrible, stupid politics. 1.00

00:07:51.000 And it included the usual kind of litany of left-wing garbage. 1.00

00:07:55.000 There's a point where Jimmy Kimmel, for example, gets up and he reads a Trump post because Donald Trump, because this is what Donald Trump does, was live posting on Truth Social about the Oscars. 0.99

00:08:02.000 And here was Jimmy Kimmel just doing sort of a rote, dumb, late-night joke about Donald Trump. 0.86

00:08:07.000 Again, no jokes about Biden. 0.97

00:08:08.000 There's one joke about Trump, really.

00:08:10.000 They tried to keep it to a minimum, to be fair.

00:08:12.000 But here was Kimmel last night going after Trump.

00:08:15.000 I just got a review and um... Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?

00:08:25.000 His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be.

00:08:31.000 Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed-up-but-cheap ABC talent, George Slopinopoulos.

00:08:39.000 He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.

00:08:43.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:08:44.000 Make America great again.

00:08:45.000 Okay, now.

00:08:54.000 See if you can guess which former president just posted that on Twitter.

00:09:00.000 Anyone?

00:09:01.000 No?

00:09:02.000 Well, thank you, President Trump.

00:09:05.000 Thank you for watching.

00:09:06.000 I'm surprised you're still watching.

00:09:07.000 Isn't it past your jail time?

00:09:14.000 And then, of course, you get the obligatory jersey.

00:09:15.000 Here's the thing.

00:09:16.000 That joke and then every show.

00:09:18.000 Oh, because he's because he's been indicted.

00:09:20.000 Oh, we love what he's indicted because even though it's not it's not legal, but yeah, and it's corrupt.

00:09:25.000 But OK, so here's the thing.

00:09:26.000 That joke was done by the time he said Trump.

00:09:30.000 Because it is funny that Donald Trump posts on Truth Social about it. 0.99

00:09:33.000 But instead of just letting it go there, he has to get that last little stupid jab in because that's, of course, what Jimmy Kimmel does. 0.97

00:09:38.000 But that's not really where the moral lack at the Oscars came up. 0.98

00:09:41.000 The moral lack at the Oscars came up because Hollywood has decided to root for Hamas.

00:09:46.000 That is not a great shock.

00:09:47.000 I think that a lot of people in the United States, they're tired of watching, obviously, the conflict between Israel and Hamas over in the Middle East because they think, what do we care?

00:09:55.000 I mean, obviously, that's very, very far away.

00:09:57.000 That's in a different part of the world entirely.

00:09:59.000 And the point that I've been making repeatedly since October 7th is that it really is not about what's happening vis-a-vis Israel and Hamas.

00:10:06.000 The real conflict that is happening in the West is a conflict over our own moral value system.

00:10:11.000 If we cannot see the distinction between Israel and Hamas, and if there are hundreds of thousands of young people marching in the streets in support of an actual honest-to-God genocidal terror group that rapes women, and murders babies, and throws gay people off of buildings, and does all of those sorts of things on the routine, and they wish to maintain control of the Gaza Strip, and you are rooting for them, this says something about the vacuum at the heart of the West. 0.63

00:10:35.000 That if, in fact, there is a moral conflict over that particular conflict, that demonstrates a lackluster moral center in the West that is going to lead to the dissolution of the West as a whole.

00:10:47.000 Any civilization that cannot tell the difference between Israel and Hamas is a civilization that is doomed to decline and disrepair. 0.99

00:10:53.000 Okay, that's the case that I've been making since.

00:10:55.000 So naturally, Hollywood is on the side of Hamas. 1.00

00:10:57.000 So they're a bunch of idiots. 1.00

00:10:59.000 Moral idiots who are wearing around Gaza ceasefire pins. 1.00

00:11:02.000 Now understand, when they're calling for a ceasefire, what they really mean is they want to leave Hamas in place in the Gaza Strip. 1.00

00:11:08.000 Hamas is currently holding 134 hostages.

00:11:11.000 We don't know how many are alive and how many are dead.

00:11:13.000 They're currently holding women and the elderly in captivity and babies in captivity.

00:11:19.000 They have raped an enormous number of these women who are coming back. 1.00

00:11:23.000 And they're rejecting every ceasefire possible. 0.82

00:11:25.000 So when these people wear a ceasefire pin trying to put pressure on Israel, they're neglecting, of course, the point, which is that Hamas has rejected every ceasefire proposal that takes them out of power. 1.00

00:11:33.000 So Billie Eilish, who is just an idiot on every... She can sing and she's a moron. 1.00

00:11:37.000 She was wearing a ceasefire pin. 1.00

00:11:39.000 She's not the only one.

00:11:40.000 There are a bunch of these dolts who are wearing ceasefire pins at the Oscars. 1.00

00:11:46.000 Mark Ruffalo, of course. 0.93

00:11:47.000 Mark Ruffalo is just a full-on anti-Semite at this point.

00:11:50.000 Mark Ruffalo has been anti-Israel and anti-Semitic for years and years and years.

00:11:53.000 There were zero pins in favor of the hostages who are currently being held.

00:11:59.000 That was the big thing right after October 7th.

00:12:00.000 There were a lot of people who were wearing yellow pins in solidarity with the hostages.

00:12:05.000 That's been completely forgotten, including the six American hostages who are currently being held in the Gaza Strip.

00:12:10.000 But they are full standing for Hamas. 0.77

00:12:13.000 There were protesters outside of the Oscars in favor of Hamas.

00:12:16.000 Honestly, I don't know why they bothered.

00:12:18.000 All the protesters could have been inside.

00:12:19.000 A majority of Hollywood is in support of Hamas at this point.

00:12:24.000 So these protesters held up the start of the event for a few minutes, apparently.

00:12:31.000 And then, of course, the greatest Exemplar of a person with not only no moral character and no moral spine, but anti-morality is Jonathan Glazer.

00:12:40.000 So Jonathan Glazer is the director of a movie called Zone of Interest.

00:12:46.000 Zone of Interest is an excellent film.

00:12:48.000 Zone of Interest, based sort of on a Martin Amis novel, is about the Hess family.

00:12:53.000 Rudolf Hess was the head of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

00:12:57.000 And the movie Zone of Interest, for which he won a Best International Oscar, The movie is about the Hess family and them living at Auschwitz in a house and the entire movie is just them at the house.

00:13:09.000 And the Holocaust doesn't exist except that we all know the Holocaust exists in the background. 0.84

00:13:13.000 You'll see a smokestack or you'll hear people screaming randomly in the background.

00:13:17.000 You'll hear people being shot far away.

00:13:19.000 And the movie is really good because what the movie is demonstrating is how easy it is for people to ignore a Holocaust that's happening and that they are benefiting from so long as they benefit from it and get to enjoy their lives. 0.59

00:13:30.000 The entire movie is about the banality of evil.

00:13:32.000 The problem is that Jonathan Glaser wins the Oscar, and listen to what he has to say.

00:13:37.000 Jonathan Glaser is the villain in his own movie, and he doesn't even know it. 0.80

00:13:40.000 So here is Jonathan Glaser getting up there, and then of course ripping the state of Israel for defending itself against genocidal anti-Jewish terrorists.

00:13:49.000 All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say, look what they did then, rather look what we do now.

00:13:56.000 Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst.

00:14:00.000 It shaped all of our past and present.

00:14:03.000 Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people.

00:14:12.000 Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all are victims of this dehumanization.

00:14:23.000 How do we resist?

00:14:26.000 Alexandra, Bistron and Koladze H. Cech The girl who glows in the film as she did in life chose to.

00:14:32.000 I dedicate this to her memory and her resistance.

00:14:34.000 Thank you. 0.99

00:14:37.000 Okay, so that guy is moral trash. 0.99

00:14:39.000 The reason he's moral trash is when he says he wants to refute the Jewishness of him and people who are up there. 0.99

00:14:43.000 Refute their Jewishness and the use of the Holocaust in order to defend what Israel is doing right now. 0.98

00:14:49.000 He's the villain in his own film.

00:14:50.000 Did you know a baby's heart begins to beat at just three weeks and five weeks?

00:14:54.000 That heartbeat can be heard on ultrasound.

00:14:55.000 That can sometimes be the only defense for the baby in the womb. 0.99

00:14:58.000 That's where Preborn steps in. 0.97

00:15:51.000 There's a thing that happens on the left wing.

00:15:55.000 There's an author named Dara Horn who's written a book called People Love Dead Jews.

00:15:59.000 Excellent book.

00:16:00.000 Uncomfortable title.

00:16:01.000 The reason that the title is uncomfortable is because she starts off that book by telling the story of the Anne Frank House.

00:16:06.000 So the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, of course, is the house that was occupied by Anne Frank while the Nazis were looking for Jews in Amsterdam.

00:16:15.000 And in the modern day, there's a museum there.

00:16:17.000 And a few years ago, there was a major controversy at the Anne Frank House.

00:16:20.000 The major controversy was that there was a kid, a young Orthodox Jewish kid, who was at the front door as a greeter at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

00:16:32.000 And he was wearing his kippah.

00:16:34.000 And people got uncomfortable with him wearing his kippah.

00:16:36.000 And the Anne Frank House told the Jewish kid to cover up his yarmulke.

00:16:41.000 They told him to wear a baseball cap.

00:16:43.000 And Dara Horn's point here is that people love dead Jews. 0.92

00:16:45.000 In other words, the best Jews are the ones who are silent and dead. 1.00

00:16:49.000 The ones who actually are living and standing up for their own ability to live.

00:16:53.000 The ones who actually defend themselves, those are the ones who make people like Jonathan Glaser very uncomfortable.

00:16:57.000 So the entirety of Zone of Interest is about the absence of Jews. 0.69

00:17:01.000 Not a Jew appears in Zone of Interest, his film.

00:17:03.000 The Jews are silent. 0.98

00:17:04.000 The best Jews, according to Jonathan Glaser, are the ones who are nameless, faceless, and dead. 1.00

00:17:08.000 Those are the ones who are really good because they're victims.

00:17:11.000 Those are the ones that he can then rifle through their bodies for an Oscar while simultaneously ignoring the Jews getting slaughtered in the Gaza envelope or the Jewish men who are being killed in the Gaza Strip or wounded by the tens of thousands in the Gaza Strip. 0.63

00:17:27.000 But he gets to sit there and morally preen over.

00:17:30.000 He gets to live in his house amidst the chaos.

00:17:32.000 Ignoring the live Jews, the ones who actually are screaming right now. 1.00

00:17:37.000 He can ignore those ones in favor of the dead Jews. 0.98

00:17:39.000 That's what he's doing right there. 0.77

00:17:41.000 Let me say this.

00:17:44.000 When people use their Jewishness as a cover to rip on Israel's ability to defend itself, when they use their Jewishness and invariably, invariably, these are people who don't know anything about Judaism.

00:17:56.000 who are born Jewish, but have very little Jewish practice, who spend zero time in the Jewish community, but then pull out their as a Jew card in order for them to demonstrate their fealty to left-wing principles or anti-Israel principles.

00:18:09.000 Whenever people say, quote-unquote, as a Jew, you should ask them, okay, how often do you go to synagogue?

00:18:15.000 How much do you care about your Judaism?

00:18:17.000 How much does any of that mean to you? 0.98

00:18:20.000 The people like Jonathan Glaser out there, again, they are part of this broad moral trash pantheon in Hollywood.

00:18:27.000 A system that believes that the West itself is bad. 0.95

00:18:31.000 The West itself is the problem.

00:18:33.000 You don't see Jonathan Glaser up there talking about the evils of Hamas or, hell, the evils of the Assad government in Syria, which has killed far more people than what's going on in the Gaza Strip right now.

00:18:43.000 You see Jonathan Glaser talking about Israel.

00:18:45.000 Why?

00:18:45.000 Because he gets to rifle through the bodies and he gets to look good while being the villain in his own film.

00:18:50.000 It's pretty impressive stuff.

00:18:52.000 Hollywood is completely disconnected from morality, but they do have an impact on how people view morality.

00:18:57.000 And that is why Hollywood remains a rather dangerous place for the creation of culture. 0.98

00:19:02.000 Okay, speaking of all of this, the Biden administration continues to be just morally idiotic when it comes to the conflict in the Middle East. 0.97

00:19:13.000 First of all, it is worthwhile noting that antisemitism around the globe continues to be extremely prevalent. 0.97

00:19:19.000 And it continues to be fostered by authorities.

00:19:21.000 So the West has basically decided that it's going to make a choice.

00:19:23.000 The West's choice is going to be between appeasing terrorist supporters and standing up to terrorist supporters.

00:19:30.000 In the United States, that battle comes down to whether you're going to appease the radicals in Dearborn, Michigan, in order so that Joe Biden can win in Michigan in the general election.

00:19:37.000 By the way, not going to help him.

00:19:38.000 The reason he's losing Michigan is not because he's losing Arabs in Dearborn.

00:19:41.000 It's because he's losing blue-collar white voters in Michigan.

00:19:46.000 But that's the battle in the United States.

00:19:47.000 In Britain, the question is whether people even get to exercise free speech anymore, or if they cross the radical Muslims in London, if they're going to be arrested.

00:19:56.000 So over the weekend, the British police arrested an anti-Hamas activist who committed the grave crime of holding up a sign at a massive anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protest.

00:20:07.000 His sign said, Hamas are terrorists.

00:20:09.000 So the police took his sign away from him and arrested him.

00:20:11.000 Here's what it looked like.

00:20:13.000 Sir, why have you been arrested?

00:20:15.000 What did it say on your sign?

00:20:18.000 Hamas is a terrorist organisation. That's it. That's it.

00:20:22.000 What did it say on your sign? 0.98

00:20:26.000 Hamas is a terrorist. 0.99

00:20:28.000 Hamas is a terrorist. 0.99

00:20:30.000 UK law.

00:20:32.000 UK put the Hamas terrorist organisation on March 2001.

00:20:36.000 And they arrested me because of that.

00:20:41.000 That's it.

00:20:42.000 They've arrested you because of the sign?

00:20:43.000 Exactly.

00:20:45.000 They attacked me.

00:20:46.000 The Hamas supporters attacked me.

00:20:49.000 And they arrested me.

00:20:53.000 Because Britain has decided to concede to the terrorists.

00:20:56.000 This is why London has apparently become a no-go zone for Jews every weekend, according to Robin Simcox, the United Kingdom's counterterrorism commissioner.

00:21:06.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.

00:22:13.000 In an opinion piece published on Thursday by the UK Telegraph, Simcox described the atmosphere in Britain since Hamas' October 7th onslaught, which has led to skyrocketing anti-Semitism in the UK.

00:22:22.000 He said inflammatory and borderline criminal rhetoric widely shared on social media ascends that the terrorism threat is rising.

00:22:27.000 Protests becoming ever more vociferous, with from the river to the sea beamed onto the side of Big Ben during a vote on Gaza.

00:22:32.000 MPs more fearful for their safety than ever.

00:22:34.000 He said London has become a no-go zone.

00:22:37.000 That, of course, is true. 0.83

00:22:39.000 London has become a disaster area.

00:22:42.000 Anti-Israel activists are destroying portraits.

00:22:44.000 There's a portrait of Lord Balfour.

00:22:45.000 Arthur Balfour is, of course, the creator of the Balfour Declaration.

00:22:48.000 The Balfour Declaration, which was created by Britain at the very tail end of World War I, right out in the aftermath of World War I, when Britain was given a mandate to govern what became British Mandate Palestine, suggested that a Jewish national home would be allowed by the British Mandate in British Mandate Palestine.

00:23:06.000 So here is a pro-Hamas protester destroying A century-old piece of art, like, full-destroying it.

00:23:11.000 This is not one of these environmentalist protesters who go to the Mona Lisa, spray a little bit of stuff on the museum glass, do no damage to the actual art.

00:23:17.000 This is a person who's actively destroying the art.

00:23:21.000 This would be University of Cambridge, I believe.

00:23:23.000 Like, full-on spray-painting the art, slashing it with a knife.

00:23:28.000 That's who these people are, and this is who Britain has decided to cater to.

00:23:33.000 This is who Britain has decided to cater to. 0.95

00:23:35.000 People who full-on destroy century-old artwork in the name of multiculturalism and tolerance.

00:23:44.000 And that's precisely who the West is fighting right now.

00:23:46.000 It is Hamasneks and their fellow travelers. 1.00

00:23:49.000 That is what the battle is right now.

00:23:50.000 They're not making their intentions unclear.

00:23:53.000 In Amsterdam, a Holocaust museum opened over the weekend.

00:23:55.000 Hamas protested it.

00:23:57.000 All of the pro-Hamasneks protested the opening of a Holocaust museum in Amsterdam. 0.55

00:24:02.000 Because let's face it, these people have been fine with the Holocaust. 0.94

00:24:04.000 They're fine with it right now. 0.60

00:24:05.000 They're fine with Hamas being a genocidal terrorist group.

00:24:07.000 And internationally speaking, Erdogan, who's the leader of Turkey, he says openly that Turkey firmly backs Hamas.

00:24:14.000 And of course, compares Bibi Netanyahu to Hitler.

00:24:17.000 And then we come to the United States and Joe Biden.

00:24:19.000 So let's be clear about the situation in Israel and Gaza right now.

00:24:23.000 Right now, Hamas continues to hold hostages.

00:24:25.000 Hamas has turned down every American-brokered offer of a ceasefire, a temporary ceasefire, in the hopes that they will be saved by Ramadan. 0.83

00:24:32.000 That's really what's going on right now.

00:24:34.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, Hamas leaders are betting that the holy month of Ramadan can turn the momentum of the war in Gaza in their favor, keeping diplomatic pressure on Israel to stop its offensive and help secure the militant Islamist group's survival.

00:24:44.000 They know full well what they are doing. 0.99

00:24:47.000 They're accounting on the moral idiocy of people like Joe Biden and the morons in Hollywood and the people in the media. 1.00

00:24:52.000 They're accounting on that coalition of stupidity and moral vacuity. 1.00

00:24:57.000 They're accounting on those people to pressure Israel into stopping because, hey guys, guys, it's a holy month of Ramadan, which is when Muslims get to attack everybody else, but nobody else gets to attack Muslims. 1.00

00:25:05.000 That's the way that it works during Ramadan in the Middle East.

00:25:08.000 Right?

00:25:09.000 Everyone else's holidays ought to be trashed. 0.99

00:25:11.000 People ought to be murdered on those holidays. 0.98

00:25:12.000 But during Ramadan, Hands off! 0.99

00:25:15.000 Hands off!

00:25:16.000 That's the idea.

00:25:17.000 Hamas' chief in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, is calculating that Ramadan, which begins with the new moon sighting expected Monday, could spark violence near religious sites in Jerusalem, expanding the conflict beyond Gaza and drawing Iran and Hezbollah deeper and more directly into his war against Israel, according to political analysts.

00:25:34.000 So, this is all coming amidst Hamas falsifying its casualty numbers.

00:25:39.000 So it's very obvious at this point there's a great piece in Tablet by Abraham Weiner, who's a statistician, looking at the numbers in Gaza from Hamas, and he points out that the numbers are clearly not real.

00:25:55.000 If Hamas's numbers are fake or fraudulent, there may be evidence in the numbers themselves that can demonstrate it.

00:25:58.000 And as you see, there actually is.

00:26:00.000 They've been reporting linear deaths every single day.

00:26:04.000 Every single day.

00:26:04.000 It's like a perfect arithmetic line.

00:26:06.000 That is not how death counts work.

00:26:09.000 As we've pointed out before, when things happen like down here in Florida, there were two tower, there was a tower that collapsed in Surfside and it killed a bunch of people.

00:26:18.000 It took them literally weeks to figure out how many people had died in a tower collapse in Surfside.

00:26:23.000 But immediately, every single day, Hamas is releasing casualty numbers.

00:26:26.000 They can't even tell you how many hostages they say are alive or dead, but they're still releasing casualty numbers and the administration is just taking them off and using them right now.

00:26:36.000 As this columnist writes, this regularity is almost surely not real.

00:26:39.000 One would expect quite a bit of variation from day to day.

00:26:41.000 In fact, the daily reported casualty counts over this period averages 270 plus or minus about 15%.

00:26:46.000 This is strikingly little variation.

00:26:48.000 There should be days with twice the average or more and others with half or less.

00:26:51.000 Perhaps what is happening is the Gaza Ministry is releasing fake daily numbers that vary too little because they don't have a clear understanding of the behavior of naturally occurring numbers.

00:26:59.000 Unfortunately, verified control data is not available to formally test this conclusion, but the details of the daily counts render the numbers suspicious.

00:27:06.000 This is exactly right.

00:27:09.000 The number of children, by the way, reported to have been killed is totally unrelated to the number of women who are reported to have been killed.

00:27:14.000 Which is super weird, because the women and the children should be in the same rooms together. 1.00

00:27:20.000 The daily number of women casualties, again, should be highly correlative with the number of non-women and non-children as well.

00:27:26.000 Because if a lot of people died in a bombing, it should be a lot of people.

00:27:29.000 But that's not what's happening either.

00:27:30.000 Hamas is faking these numbers, and the West is simply taking them at face value.

00:27:34.000 Because Joe Biden has decided that he is going to now draw daylight with Israel.

00:27:40.000 The way he's going to do this, and look okay to his liberal Jewish donors, And liberal Jews who wish to remain voting Democrat as he's going to pretend that the conflict in Gaza is about Bibi Netanyahu.

00:27:49.000 He understands that a lot of American Jews who are on the left don't like Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the current Israeli government.

00:27:54.000 Now there are a bunch of problems with this.

00:27:56.000 Problem number one, Benjamin Netanyahu is the elected leader of the state of Israel.

00:28:01.000 It is incredible to me that Joe Biden goes around talking about the value of democracy whenever he talks about Ukraine and Russia, for example.

00:28:08.000 It's autocracy is attacking democracy.

00:28:10.000 Then he ignores the fact that an autocracy attacked a democracy on October 7th.

00:28:13.000 He did that in his State of the Union.

00:28:14.000 But even more so, he's actively interfering in the workings of another democracy.

00:28:19.000 And this is a guy who's talked about the evils of interfering in American elections.

00:28:22.000 Joe Biden is actively attempting to bring down the Prime Minister of Israel right now because of personal animus.

00:28:27.000 He's not the first to do it.

00:28:28.000 Barack Obama tried to do it as well.

00:28:29.000 In fact, if you go back to Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton tried to do it in the late 90s.

00:28:33.000 He basically got it who Barack elected Prime Minister in Israel.

00:28:37.000 So there's problem number one, which is Bibi Netanyahu is the elected leader of Israel.

00:28:40.000 Problem number two, Israelis overwhelmingly support wiping out Hamas. 0.86

00:28:45.000 This notion that if it were not for Bibi, Israel would not be considering going into Rafah. 0.99

00:28:49.000 Everyone, right, left, and center knows Israel has to go into Rafah. 0.94

00:28:52.000 Why?

00:28:52.000 Because that's the last vestige of the terrorists.

00:28:54.000 That's where the terrorists are.

00:28:55.000 You have to go in there and finish it off.

00:28:57.000 This is the equivalent for Israel of the allies in World War II getting outside Berlin and then going, you know what guys?

00:29:02.000 I'm sorry, we can't go into Berlin.

00:29:03.000 Too much human damage.

00:29:05.000 We can't go into Berlin.

00:29:06.000 Or getting outside of Tokyo and being like, you know what?

00:29:08.000 We're just gonna sit here and just wait.

00:29:10.000 You know, like there's really, what can we do?

00:29:12.000 That's insane.

00:29:13.000 No country worth its salt would do that.

00:29:15.000 Which is why going into Rafa has 85% approval in Israel. 0.99

00:29:20.000 This notion that Bibi Netanyahu is the singular spur toward action in Rafa is idiotic and not true. 0.72

00:29:27.000 And then furthermore, as a corollary of that, the entire Israeli government supports this, including Benny Gantz, who just came and visited the United States and visited Britain as well. 0.96

00:29:36.000 Benny Gantz is the chief rival to Netanyahu.

00:29:39.000 If there were an election held today, Benny Gantz would be prime minister of the state of Israel.

00:29:42.000 He is not on the hard right.

00:29:44.000 Benny Gantz is, at best, a center-right candidate.

00:29:46.000 More likely, he's more of a center-left candidate.

00:29:49.000 He agrees with Netanyahu.

00:29:50.000 Gadi Eisenkot is not on the same side as Netanyahu.

00:29:53.000 They have a war cabinet right now, a unity government, which if you took it to an American context, it's like we'd be at war and suddenly there was not a president of the United States anymore.

00:30:02.000 There's a presidential commission that made all of the war decisions and that presidential commission included President Biden and Donald Trump.

00:30:11.000 That's what it's more like right now.

00:30:14.000 In other words, Biden has to make some excuse to the Dearborn Michigan voters as to why he's doing what he's doing, and he has to make some excuse to liberal Jews as to why he's doing what he's doing.

00:30:23.000 And so what he's decided to do is draw this middle line where he draws daylight between himself and Netanyahu and then pretends that what's going on in Gaza is a reflection of Netanyahu personally.

00:30:33.000 So Biden over the weekend admitted that a ceasefire looks tough right now.

00:30:36.000 Here he was.

00:30:39.000 Will there be a ceasefire by Ramadan?

00:30:44.000 It's looking tough, but... Are you concerned about violence in East Jerusalem without one?

00:30:50.000 I sure am.

00:30:51.000 I sure am.

00:30:52.000 Well, then maybe you put some pressure on your beloved Palestinian Authority to stop it, shouldn't you? 1.00

00:30:57.000 Since the Palestinian Authority is largely in control of the rioters who go up on the Temple Mount.

00:31:02.000 Hamas, largely in control of those rioters.

00:31:04.000 There's a reason that everything that's happening there is coordinated on particular dates.

00:31:09.000 Then Biden in an interview admitted that the people who want a permanent ceasefire, the people who are helped by the ceasefire are Hamas. 0.57

00:31:15.000 He admits it openly.

00:31:16.000 Then he tries to walk it back in an interview with Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC.

00:31:21.000 Who actually wants a deal?

00:31:22.000 Do you think Hamas actually wants a ceasefire?

00:31:26.000 Well, I think Hamas would like a total ceasefire across the board because then they would see they have a better chance to survive and maybe rebuild.

00:31:35.000 But that's not what I think the vast majority of people think.

00:31:39.000 You have to look.

00:31:43.000 Oops.

00:31:45.000 After what happened in World War II and the carpet bombing that took place, what happened was we ended up in a situation where we changed the rules of the game, what constitutes legitimate rules of war, and they should be abided by.

00:32:00.000 Okay, he's a joke.

00:32:01.000 What he says right there, he openly admits that the party that wants the permanent ceasefire is Hamas.

00:32:06.000 That's what he's pushing for right now.

00:32:08.000 That's what he's pushing for right now.

00:32:10.000 And he's admitting that he is aligned with Hamas.

00:32:12.000 And then he has to try and walk that back by suggesting that Israel is engaging in carpet bombing of Gaza. 0.99

00:32:17.000 That is the stupidest proposition in military history. 0.98

00:32:20.000 Israel is not engaging in carpet bombing. 1.00

00:32:22.000 If Israel were engaging in carpet bombing, there would be a million Gazans dead.

00:32:26.000 Not the fake 30,000 being reported by Hamas.

00:32:28.000 Millions.

00:32:29.000 These cities that Israel has taken, places like Gaza City or Khan Younis, these are places with 600,000 people, 450,000 people.

00:32:40.000 Carpet bombing?

00:32:41.000 Is he out of his mind?

00:32:42.000 I mean, he is.

00:32:43.000 He doesn't have much of a mind left.

00:32:45.000 Then Biden warns of a red line.

00:32:46.000 It's the last time a Democratic president drew a red line.

00:32:48.000 It was with regard to Bashar Assad using chemical weapons against his own people in Syria.

00:32:53.000 That was Barack Obama.

00:32:53.000 Then he proceeded, of course, to walk away from the red line and hand complete control of Syria over to the Russians, which has worked out fantastically for everyone.

00:33:01.000 But here is Joe Biden drawing a red line and then saying that nothing will happen if the red line is crossed.

00:33:06.000 Again, he's discombobulated.

00:33:07.000 He's confused.

00:33:08.000 And the reason is because he is pandering to his far left base.

00:33:12.000 Do you have a red line?

00:33:13.000 For instance, would invasion of Rafah, which you have urged him not to do, would that be a red line?

00:33:20.000 It is a red line, but I'm never going to leave Israel. 0.96

00:33:23.000 The defense of Israel is still critical.

00:33:25.000 So there's no red line.

00:33:27.000 I'm going to cut off all weapons so they don't have the Iron Dome to protect them.

00:33:30.000 They don't have.

00:33:31.000 But there's red lines that if it crosses, it cannot have 30,000 more Palestinians. 0.63

00:33:37.000 He's using Hamas numbers. 0.70

00:33:40.000 The trauma caused by Hamas? 0.97

00:33:48.000 They're currently holding hostages.

00:33:50.000 They killed 1,200 people.

00:33:51.000 Is that a trauma?

00:33:53.000 Or is that an act of war by a terrorist group?

00:33:55.000 And by the way, when he says that there are other ways to deal with it, everyone's all ears, Joe.

00:34:01.000 You name it.

00:34:01.000 By the way, even according to Hamas, of the 30,000, which again is a number that's made up by Hamas, of that 30,000, you're talking at least 12,000 terrorists dead.

00:34:09.000 So he's against the 12,000 terrorists being dead also?

00:34:13.000 It's perfectly absurd.

00:34:15.000 And again, he's trying to transmute his criticisms of Israel into criticisms of Netanyahu, so as to suggest that if Netanyahu would go, then magically everything would be better.

00:34:24.000 He thinks that will please his left-wing base, that if Netanyahu, but let's be clear, if Netanyahu went, he would be succeeded by Benny Gantz.

00:34:29.000 Benny Gantz would then do the exact same thing, and Joe Biden would be in the exact same position, because guess who doesn't care about who's Prime Minister of Israel?

00:34:37.000 Every person in Dearborn, Michigan, they don't care at all.

00:34:40.000 The people he's pandering to are not going to be pandered to by a simple replacement of Bibi Netanyahu with a political rival who does exactly the same thing. 0.96

00:34:47.000 But again, this is the dumb political game that Joe Biden is playing. 0.79

00:34:50.000 Biden was on a hot mic, and he said that Bibi has to quote-unquote, come to Jesus. 0.81

00:34:54.000 Which again, he's going to have a come to Jesus meeting with Bibi. 0.94

00:34:57.000 Now we all know that's colloquial.

00:34:58.000 Also, do you think Joe Biden would ever say that about Hamas?

00:35:00.000 He's going to have a come-to-Jesus meeting with Hamas? 0.86

00:35:03.000 I guarantee you that is not a thing Joe Biden would ever say about a radical Muslim group.

00:35:12.000 Great speech, I think.

00:35:14.000 Really great speech.

00:35:15.000 I was telling your secretary, you know, I was in Jordan and Israel last weekend, and we just, you know, we've got to keep pushing, we're trying to do it on the humanitarian stuff and all this stuff, so... I told him... I'm a piece of shit.

00:35:26.000 on the humanitarian stuff and all this stuff, so... 1.00

00:35:29.000 I told him, I'm a piece of shit. 1.00

00:35:34.000 I said, if you know I'll come to Jesus. 1.00

00:35:37.000 I'm not lying to you.

00:35:41.000 We're gonna have a Come to Jesus meeting with P.B. Nantignajo.

00:35:43.000 And then Biden of course goes on national TV and he says that Netanyahu is hurting more than he's helping.

00:35:47.000 The amount of ire that he is putting on the Israeli government right now fighting terrorists is significantly higher than the amount of ire that he's directing toward the actual terrorists.

00:35:55.000 What's the come-to-Jesus part?

00:35:57.000 What tough love are you going to give to the prime minister?

00:36:02.000 What's happening is he has a right to defend Israel, a right to continue to pursue Hamas, but he must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost as a consequence of the actions taken. 0.75

00:36:15.000 He's hurting, in my view, he's hurting Israel more than helping Israel by making the rest of the world, it's contrary to what Israel stands for. 0.92

00:36:25.000 And I think it's a big mistake.

00:36:26.000 So I want to see a ceasefire.

00:36:29.000 He wants to see it, so literally in the same interview where he claims the Hamas wants a ceasefire, he says he also wants a ceasefire.

00:36:34.000 And again, this is all part and parcel of the left-wing belief that the West should lose.

00:36:38.000 Again, Joe Biden does not stand for the West.

00:36:42.000 He has never stood for the West in its battles with opposing enemy forces.

00:36:48.000 He has not.

00:36:48.000 Just across his career, he's always been rather conciliatory toward people who despise the United States.

00:36:55.000 And that continues today.

00:36:57.000 Again, this is part and parcel of a broader coalition of people on the hard left who are very eager to sort of pull a Vietnam on Israel. 0.67

00:37:05.000 And the Vietnam War was lost by left-wing forces at home who decided that the United States had to lose for moral reasons.

00:37:10.000 And the same thing is happening right now.

00:37:11.000 Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs of California, she's doing the same thing. 0.84

00:37:13.000 She says there's no way to defeat Hamas, which is weird because Israel seems to have found a way to defeat Hamas, which is to kill the members of Hamas.

00:37:20.000 Let's get into what Molly was talking about right there.

00:37:22.000 We have the president who said, look, we're going to build this pier.

00:37:25.000 OK.

00:37:26.000 And yet there are many who are criticizing and say, why not do as Molly was suggesting, and that is use the truck convoys.

00:37:33.000 Let's get aid into that much more quickly.

00:37:35.000 Use some pressure.

00:37:37.000 Use your leverage on Benjamin Netanyahu to get that done.

00:37:40.000 What are your thoughts on all that?

00:37:42.000 Look, I think The ability to get as much aid in as quickly as possible is important.

00:37:47.000 And all of the various levers we have to do that should be done because we know the humanitarian situation is catastrophic.

00:37:54.000 Dire.

00:37:55.000 Yes.

00:37:55.000 Now, there is existing U.S.

00:37:57.000 law that says that actually our allies, anyone we're working with, has to allow our humanitarian assistance in.

00:38:04.000 And so I absolutely think that's right.

00:38:06.000 We need to be doing more to make sure Israel lets more aid in.

00:38:10.000 But at the end of the day, The only way to really make sure we are addressing these famine-like conditions is to get a permanent and immediate ceasefire for Hamas to release the hostages, for Bibi Netanyahu to stop his indiscriminate bombing campaign that we know is not actually militarily doing what it needs to do.

00:38:30.000 There is no military way to defeat Hamas.

00:38:33.000 There just isn't.

00:38:35.000 There's no military way to defeat Hamas.

00:38:37.000 Again, this lie that there's no military way to defeat a military enemy is absurd.

00:38:41.000 Even in guerrilla war, the way that you win a guerrilla war is by killing a lot of the guerrilla terrorists and by establishing bases of safety that are 100% safe and then spreading those bases of safety across broader spans of the population.

00:38:52.000 This is exactly what the British did in Malaya during the 1950s.

00:38:54.000 This is...

00:38:56.000 But again, this has no relation to reality.

00:38:58.000 What it really has to do with is a generalized feeling on the left that you have to sympathize with the world's worst people.

00:39:03.000 The best indicator of that actually came via Joe Biden, not with regards to what's going on in Israel right now, but with regard to Lakin Riley's murderer.

00:39:11.000 So you'll recall that in the State of the Union last week, Our febrile President of the United States decided that he was going to take up the situation with Lakin Riley, who is the young woman who was killed while jogging at the University of Georgia campus by an illegal immigrant.

00:39:27.000 He was prompted to do this by Republicans who were wearing pins with Lincoln Reilly's name on them.

00:39:31.000 And so during the State of the Union address, Joe Biden picks up the pin, botches Lincoln Reilly's name.

00:39:37.000 He picks it up, he says, Lincoln Reilly, which is the wrong name. 0.64

00:39:40.000 He literally has it right in front of him and the old fart can't read. 1.00

00:39:43.000 So he's like, oh, Lincoln Reilly! 0.89

00:39:45.000 And then he says, Lincoln Reilly was killed by an illegal.

00:39:49.000 And you think, OK, that's that's half true.

00:39:52.000 Lake and Riley was killed by an illegal.

00:39:54.000 And then he continues.

00:39:55.000 But how many thousands were killed by illegal right downplaying the actual murder?

00:39:58.000 Because, of course, it's not thousands of people.

00:40:01.000 I mean, it's only one poor young woman who was murdered.

00:40:03.000 I mean, do we really care that much?

00:40:04.000 We're going to change our entire immigration policy based on this poor young woman. 1.00

00:40:07.000 In any case, the left went nuts.

00:40:09.000 Why did they go nuts?

00:40:10.000 They went nuts because he used the word illegal to describe a murderer.

00:40:14.000 So, Joe Biden had to walk that back over the weekend.

00:40:17.000 He had to walk that back.

00:40:17.000 This demonstrates, full scale, how the radical left has taken over this party.

00:40:22.000 This is totally insane.

00:40:24.000 It's politically insane.

00:40:26.000 You can't find five people in the United States to rub together who don't work in legacy media, who think it's a bad thing that Joe Biden called a murderer and illegal.

00:40:35.000 No one thinks that.

00:40:36.000 But Joe Biden had to go out of his way to do this because, again, he is betting in this election cycle that he needs to get his low propensity, radical base out to vote a lot because he's losing independence. 0.96

00:40:44.000 And so what that means is doing stupid things like going on national TV and suggesting not only that he shouldn't have used the word illegal, but that illegal immigrants built the country. 0.86

00:40:53.000 That is the thing he says in this interview. 0.99

00:40:55.000 Here we go.

00:40:56.000 I noticed the look of surprise on your face when you walked into the chamber and you saw Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:41:02.000 It was priceless.

00:41:04.000 You feigned shock at seeing her.

00:41:06.000 But during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word illegal when talking about the man who allegedly killed Lakin Riley.

00:41:15.000 An undocumented person.

00:41:18.000 He's not going to treat any of these people with disrespect.

00:41:20.000 I mean, they're the people who built the country, says Joe Biden, our illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:41:24.000 One of the things I talked about on the border was that his the way he talks about vermin,

00:41:28.000 the way he talks about these people polluting the blood.

00:41:30.000 I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do.

00:41:33.000 I'm not going to treat any any any of these people with disrespect.

00:41:39.000 He's not going to treat any of these people with disrespect.

00:41:41.000 I mean, they're the people who built the country, says Joe Biden, are illegal immigrants.

00:41:44.000 This is a party that's lost its moral moorings.

00:41:47.000 This is a party where Joe Biden is spending more time ripping on the elected prime minister

00:41:51.000 of Israel fighting for the survival of his country against Iranian sponsored proxy terror

00:41:56.000 He spends more time ripping on Netanyahu, even as Israel ships in trucks filled with aid, but there ain't no one to drive them, because it turns out Hamas is hijacking all of them.

00:42:03.000 And then he spends his time defending illegal immigrant murderers, because we wouldn't want to call an illegal immigrant murderer an illegal immigrant. 0.73

00:42:09.000 That would be bad.

00:42:10.000 We can't say that that person's an illegal.

00:42:12.000 That person's undocumented, and undocumented people built this country.

00:42:15.000 The sympathy level For the actual victims is gone from the Democratic Party.

00:42:20.000 Because again, in the victim, victimizer categorization that the left performs, anybody who is a member of an identity group that does not match with the left's identity hierarchy must immediately be cast as the victimizer or irrelevant.

00:42:33.000 Those are the only two choices on the table.

00:42:36.000 We'll get to more on this momentarily.

00:42:37.000 First, the iconic Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:42:40.000 It's back.

00:42:41.000 Oh yes.

00:43:16.000 OK, meanwhile, now Joe Biden, obviously he's pandering to his left because

00:43:21.000 he believes that he is going to lose. He's trying to hide that by saying over and over that he's

00:43:26.000 winning. So over the weekend, he was asked specifically about his poor polling numbers,

00:43:30.000 and then he tried to meander his way around the question.

00:43:33.000 The president, what's your message to Democrats who are concerned about your poll numbers?

00:43:40.000 My poll number is the last five polls you guys don't report.

00:43:43.000 I'm winning.

00:43:44.000 Five.

00:43:45.000 Five in a row.

00:43:48.000 You guys only look at the New York Times.

00:43:50.000 They're a great paper.

00:43:55.000 I'm winning!

00:43:56.000 He's not actually winning.

00:43:58.000 In the RealClearPolitics polling average, Donald Trump is up by about two points.

00:44:02.000 And in the last five polls, he is up in the Emerson poll, 49 to 51.

00:44:07.000 He's up 51-49 over Trump in the Emerson poll.

00:44:09.000 He's down 44-42 in the Economist poll.

00:44:12.000 He's up by one in the Morning Consult poll, 44 to 43.

00:44:13.000 44 to 43 and Trump is up 52 48 in the CBS News poll.

00:44:18.000 By the way, if Joe Biden wins the election by one vote, one point in the popular vote,

00:44:24.000 This is the other thing that people should recognize, is that Donald Trump actually lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by several percentage points and still won the election.

00:44:31.000 It matters where you get the votes, not just how many votes you get.

00:44:34.000 Joe Biden, for his part, has cut a new ad.

00:44:38.000 The ad basically acknowledges that he is incredibly old.

00:44:41.000 If you find this convincing, then, you know, I suppose more power to you.

00:44:45.000 Here we go.

00:44:47.000 Look, I'm not a young guy.

00:44:49.000 That's no secret.

00:44:50.000 But here's the deal.

00:44:52.000 I understand how to get things done for the American people.

00:44:55.000 I led the country through the COVID crisis.

00:44:57.000 Today, we have the strongest economy in the world.

00:45:00.000 I passed a law that lowers prescription drug prices.

00:45:03.000 Caps insulin are $35 a month for seniors.

00:45:07.000 For four years, Donald Trump tried to pass an infrastructure law, and he failed.

00:45:12.000 I got it done.

00:45:13.000 Now we're rebuilding America.

00:45:15.000 I passed the biggest law in history to combat climate change, because our future depends on it.

00:45:20.000 Donald Trump took away the freedom of women to choose.

00:45:23.000 I'm determined to make Roe v. Wade the law of the land again. 0.83

00:45:28.000 Donald Trump believes the job of the president is to take care of Donald Trump.

00:45:32.000 I believe the job of the president is to fight for you, the American people.

00:45:36.000 And that's what I'm doing.

00:45:37.000 I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message.

00:45:40.000 Can we do one more take?

00:45:42.000 Look, I'm very young, energetic, and handsome.

00:45:44.000 What am I doing this for?

00:45:50.000 Approved by Joe Biden.

00:45:51.000 What I love most about that commercial is that there is not a take of him longer than two and a half seconds.

00:45:55.000 And you know why that is.

00:45:56.000 That's because when there's a take of him that is longer than two and a half seconds, it turns into this.

00:46:00.000 Here he was fighting the teleprompter again.

00:46:04.000 What they're going to do is to ensure a national, really endanger our national security. 0.93

00:46:10.000 They're going to expand, you know, are they going to expand personal freedoms?

00:46:15.000 Well, that's what we're going to do.

00:46:17.000 They're going to do everything to not grow our economy. 0.95

00:46:20.000 Literally, there's no, they have no platform.

00:46:23.000 They're all about, they're against everything, not for anything, except the things that are the wrong things.

00:46:28.000 What they're running on, I'll tell you what they're running on.

00:46:31.000 We're running backwards.

00:46:33.000 It's about the future, not the past.

00:46:35.000 But guess what?

00:46:35.000 I do love Jill Biden on the side of these photos.

00:46:38.000 She looks so nervous all the time and she should.

00:46:40.000 She should because she might actually have to physically prop him up.

00:46:43.000 And frankly, he's a heavy load.

00:46:46.000 She constantly looks so stressed out standing next to him publicly.

00:46:49.000 And there's a reason for that because she is watching the old coot degrading in real 1.00

00:46:53.000 Meanwhile, Donald Trump was on the attack on Biden over the weekend, as he should have been.

00:46:56.000 He slammed Joe Biden over his walk back for using the word illegal to describe, you know, a murderer.

00:47:01.000 Here was Donald Trump over the weekend. 0.66

00:47:04.000 When I say he was an illegal alien, he was an illegal immigrant. 0.52

00:47:08.000 He was an illegal migrant and he shouldn't have been in our country and he never would have been under a Trump policy. 0.91

00:47:16.000 And Biden should be apologizing for apologizing to this killer.

00:47:23.000 you That is correct.

00:47:25.000 He should be apologizing for apologizing to that killer.

00:47:27.000 And by the way, that's going to be a Republican campaign ad from now until the election.

00:47:31.000 I think people are forgetting that in 2004, George W. Bush won the election on the basis of suburban moms who were afraid for their safety after the terror attacks of 9-11.

00:47:40.000 And Trump is not wrong when he says that suburban women should be afraid for their safety, given the fact that Joe Biden has allowed millions and millions and millions of illegal immigrants into the country without any vetting whatsoever. 0.50

00:47:51.000 The suburban, they always say, suburban housewives, they want something that's very important, security.

00:47:57.000 They don't want illegal immigrants coming into our country. 1.00

00:48:01.000 They don't want illegal immigrants knocking on their front door and saying, I'm going to use your kitchen and I'm going to use your bedroom and there's not a damn thing. 1.00

00:48:11.000 And that's when, that's the nice ones. 0.95

00:48:13.000 Okay, so again, Donald Trump is not wrong about any of this.

00:48:17.000 Most Americans are not feeling sanguine about Joe Biden's tenure in office, which leaves Democrats to attack Trump.

00:48:24.000 George Stephanopoulos, again, it is incredible to me that George Stephanopoulos is used as a quote-unquote neutral anchor.

00:48:30.000 This is insane to me.

00:48:31.000 George Stephanopoulos was literally The strategist for Hillary and Bill Clinton.

00:48:36.000 This would be like if Fox News used Karl Rove, not as a sort of right-wing elections analyst, but used him as a full-scale objective news reporter.

00:48:44.000 In any case, George Stephanopoulos had on Nancy Mace, the very attention-grabbing congresswoman from South Carolina, and he asked her about backing Trump in the worst possible way, and she shall act him for it, as well as she should have.

00:48:59.000 You've endorsed Donald Trump for president.

00:49:02.000 Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape.

00:49:08.000 How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw? 0.95

00:49:11.000 Well, I will tell you, I was raped at the age of 16. 0.95

00:49:16.000 And any rape victim will tell you, I've lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped.

00:49:22.000 It didn't come forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt.

00:49:28.000 It's a shame that you will never feel, George, and I'm not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim.

00:49:37.000 I'm not going to do that.

00:49:39.000 It's actually not about shaming you.

00:49:40.000 It's a question about Donald Trump.

00:49:41.000 No, you are shaming me.

00:49:41.000 You've endorsed Donald Trump for president.

00:49:43.000 Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury.

00:49:47.000 Donald Trump has been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape by a jury.

00:49:52.000 It's been affirmed by a judge.

00:49:53.000 It was not a criminal court case, number one. 0.67
