A top House Democrat s transgender kid is arrested rioting with Antifa, Eminem says it wants to back out of the culture wars, and the Biden administration panics over abortion restrictions. I m Ben Shapiro, and there does seem to be a bizarre spate of top level Democrats with weird kids. I have three children, and soon I will have four. I assume that sometime in their life, they ll do something I don t approve of. You try to raise your kids the best that you can, and then, you know, whatever sort of happens, happens. There is a very strange thing that seems to be happening with top House Democrats and one top Senate Democrat where their kids end up Rioting with antifa. Which seems like a pretty weird thing to be doing. The latest example of this is according to National Review, the son of House Minority Whip, Catherine Clark, was arrested in Boston for assaulting an officer and defacing a monument during an Antifa riot on Saturday night in the Boston Common on a Saturday night. This is a difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting, and I m here to remind you that parents are not always responsible for the sins of their children. We have a genetic bottleneck. It seems like it must be a bottleneck that affects a very specific group of people in our society, and it s only a few groups of people who are in a sort of sort of odd group of elite elite people in society who are very odd. it s very odd, isn t it? I m sure you ve all noticed it. I mean, right? - Ben Shapiro. - The Daily Wire - What did you do with your kids? - How odd? - What kind of parenting advice would you give them? - what kind of kids would you be giving them? - How would they be affected by climate change? - would they have nightmares about it? - Is it a good thing? - Which one of them be better than the other? - is it possible they re not going to be killed by it, or not? - or are they going to wake up with nightmares about climate change, or do they are going to have nightmares? - and what are they should be scared of something bad? - does it really matter? - how they should they wake up from nightmares about something bad, unless they don t wake up to nightmares about a scary movie or something they should not be scaring them to sleep about it or something else?
00:00:00.000A top House Democrat's transgender kid is arrested rioting with Antifa, Eminem says it wants to back out of the culture wars, and the Biden administration panics over abortion restrictions.
00:00:28.000Soon I will have four, with the help of God.
00:00:30.000I assume that sometime in their life they'll do something I don't approve of, because that is the way of the world.
00:00:34.000You try to raise your kids the best that you can, and then, you know, whatever sort of happens, happens.
00:00:39.000There is a very strange thing that seems to be happening with top House Democrats and one top Senate Democrat, where their kids end up rioting with Antifa.
00:00:48.000Which seems like a pretty weird thing to be happening.
00:00:50.000The latest example of this is according to National Review, the son of House Minority Whip Catherine Clark, Democrat of Massachusetts, was arrested in Boston for assaulting an officer and defacing a monument during an Antifa riot on Saturday night.
00:01:01.000Clark's son, Riley Dell, 23, was detained by Boston police for allegedly spray-painting, No Cop City and ACAB, that would be All Cops Are Bastards, on the Parkman Bandstand Monument in the Boston Common.
00:01:12.000Similar language was recently used by Antifa activists in Atlanta who were riding.
00:01:15.000While attempting to place Dell under arrest, Boston police reported that protesters encircled the small detachment of law enforcement and struck an officer.
00:01:23.000During the arrest of Jared Dowell, a group of about 20 protesters began to surround officers while screaming profanities through megaphones on the public street, causing traffic to come to a standstill.
00:01:31.000While interfering with the arrest of Jared Dowell, an officer was hit in the face and could be seen bleeding from the nose and mouth, according to the Boston Police Department.
00:01:38.000Dowell was charged with assault by means of a dangerous weapon, destruction or injury of personal property, and damage of property by graffiti slash tagging.
00:01:45.000He is expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.
00:01:48.000Those Antifa protests were apparently sparked in Boston following a fatal police shooting of a University of Massachusetts Boston student, Syed Faisal, in December 2022.
00:01:56.000During that particular incident, the person who was shot by the Massachusetts police, he approached the police with a short sword.
00:02:04.000They tried to then shoot him with a sponge round, which is a non-lethal round, and then they had to resort to lethal force.
00:02:10.000Quick rule of thumb, folks, do not attack officers with a short sword.
00:02:46.000Now, you'll remember that this is the same House Democrat, again this is a top House Democrat, the House Minority Whip, who just a couple of years ago said that she remembered her middle child, this would be Jared, nay Riley, now Riley, waking up with nightmares about climate change.
00:03:04.000Here is Catherine Clarke talking about this, not all that long ago.
00:03:08.000Let me tell you what it means to me, coming in as a different generation.
00:03:14.000I remember my middle child waking up with nightmares over concern around climate change.
00:03:25.000I mean, seriously, that is a what-did-you-do kind of thing.
00:03:27.000Because normally kids wake up with nightmares because they're thinking about death.
00:03:32.000Something bad is going to happen to their parents.
00:03:33.000Or they saw something in a movie and it was super scary.
00:03:36.000Or they read something in a book and it was really, really upsetting.
00:03:39.000They don't wake up with nightmares about climate change unless you are scaring them or exposing them to things they should not be thinking about climate change.
00:03:54.000It is very odd how many top-level Democrats, how many Hollywood folks, how many people who are sort of the elites in blue society have trans quote-unquote children.
00:04:23.000For nearly all of human history, people who suffered from gender dysphoria were a percentage of a percentage, a tiny, tiny percentage of the population suffered from gender dysphoria.
00:04:31.000Now, you've got a vast bevy of kids who are suffering from gender dysphoria or who are claiming that they are a member of the opposite sex, but only in very specific areas, only at our nation's top colleges, only if they are the kids of top Democratic legislators, or if they're the kids of Hollywood moms and dads.
00:04:55.000Maybe, overall, you're not talking about just a weird confluence of events.
00:05:00.000Maybe it is that you are doing an insufficient job of teaching your kids the things they need to know.
00:05:05.000Again, not every kid is going to fall close to the tree.
00:05:08.000Not every apple falls close to the tree.
00:05:10.000But when you are teaching your kids that climate change is going to kill everyone, and then your kid has nightmares.
00:05:14.000And when you're teaching your kids that boys can be girls, and then your boy says that he is a girl, I gotta say, it feels like A and B are connected just a little bit.
00:05:24.000And of course, as I mentioned, this is not the only top Democrat who has had a kid arrested during a riot.
00:05:30.000You'll remember that back in 2017, Linwood Michael Cain, the son of Virginia Senator and former vice presidential candidate Tim Cain, was one of five protesters arrested after allegedly disrupting a pro-Donald Trump rally inside the Minnesota state capitol back in 2017, according to St.
00:05:47.000Cain was charged by prosecutors in St.
00:05:48.000Paul with fleeing on foot, concealing identity in a public place, obstructing the legal process by interfering with a peace officer.
00:05:54.000Again, there are issues with parents who are right-wing, raising their kids in weird ways, and that having effects.
00:06:00.000But if you're talking about kids who are being arrested, rioting with Antifa, and also saying they are members of the opposite gender, perhaps the problem is that you're not providing the roles and rules that are necessary to raise a healthy child.
00:06:12.000Again, I'll say for the third time, It is possible that you do all the right things and your kid ends up the wrong way.
00:06:17.000But when you teach your kid a thing and then your kid does the thing, that one is kind of on you.
00:06:23.000And I mention this because there does seem to be an attempt now to treat parenting as though it is a form of virtue signaling to the rest of the world.
00:06:31.000It is not about raising your child healthy.
00:06:33.000It's about demonstrating to the rest of your blue check friends that you are doing the right things in their eyes.
00:06:39.000You are training your children properly as good little left-wingers And this takes some very strange forms.
00:06:45.000For example, the New York Times has a piece over the weekend by a person named Heather Kay.
00:06:50.000The piece is titled, China Helped Raise My American Kids, and they turned out fine.
00:06:55.000Quote, when COVID was raging across the world a couple of years ago, I came across a picture online of an American woman wearing a t-shirt that proclaimed, I refuse to co-parent with the government.
00:07:03.000A response to perceived government overreach regarding school mask mandates.
00:07:08.000My own kids were, in a way, co-parented by the Chinese government.
00:07:11.000So first of all, anytime you're claiming with pride that your kids are co-parented by the government, you are doing something wrong.
00:07:16.000It is not the government's job to co-parent your kids.
00:07:17.000This is a big enough problem in the United States.
00:07:20.000We have a vast bevy of people who seem to believe that the government ought to play daddy in the sense that it ought to provide all of the resources necessary to explore yourself.
00:07:27.000And also, the government ought to play mommy in the sense providing you the emotional comfort of accepting all of your behavior.
00:07:33.000This is why you see so many people who want the Supreme Court to give the moral imprimatur to their personal behavior.
00:07:38.000Because they want the government to be mommy in the sense that it makes them feel good about themselves, and they want the government to be daddy in the sense that it brings home the bacon.
00:07:45.000But back to this person writing about how the Chinese government did an amazing job co-raising their kid.
00:07:48.000My work in the fashion industry took my husband and me to Shanghai in 2006, where we spent the next 16 years and started a family.
00:07:54.000In China, government co-parenting begins in the womb.
00:07:57.000Well, I mean, it kind of begins in, like, killing kids in the womb.
00:08:02.000They've killed tens of millions of children in the womb, or forcibly sterilized millions of women in China over the course of the last half century.
00:08:09.000People in China are still legally barred from determining the gender of their unborn babies unless medically necessary because of a history of sex-selective abortions, according even to this columnist.
00:08:18.000And those sex-selective abortions became necessary specifically because China said you could only have one kid, and Chinese people apparently generally wanted boys more than girls, which is why you have a surplus of boys over girls than numbers in the millions, which is a serious problem for China, its economy, and foreign policy.
00:08:33.000Butt says this columnist, as foreigners, we were exempt from such rules.
00:08:36.000But I had to accept that my growing belly had become community property, subject to unsolicited rubbing and sidewalk commentary, and that restaurants would refuse to serve me cold beverages.
00:08:44.000Chinese people ascribe medicinal properties to simple hot water, rooted in hygiene concerns and the belief that it maintains a healthy balance in yin and yang.
00:08:51.000I dreaded the earful I would get each time I ordered an iced latte, those usually served with a warm smile.
00:08:55.000In 2008 and 2010, we delivered two healthy daughters in Shanghai and faced the choice of all expatriate parents in China between pricey international schools and enrollment in local schools overseen by the government and with an immersion in Chinese culture and values.
00:09:08.000We weighed the pros and cons of the Chinese route and the cons.
00:09:12.000The cons apparently were exposure to Communist Party propaganda and potential social isolation of being foreigners in a group of Chinese students, and they took the plunge.
00:09:19.000Our stringent government co-parent quickly made its presence felt.
00:09:22.000The girl's Chinese kindergarten teacher lectured us on everything, including how many hours our daughters should sleep, what they should eat, their optimal weight.
00:09:28.000Each morning, all of the students performed calisthenics in straight rows and raised China's red flag while singing the national anthem.
00:09:34.000Classroom windows were usually kept open to increase air circulation and prevent contamination by airborne illnesses even during the winter.
00:09:40.000We sometimes felt as if our children were on montage for evenings and weekends to be delivered back to school each weekday.
00:09:45.000Over time, though, the benefits kicked in.
00:09:47.000Constantly served up moral, history, and culture lessons on pulling together for the sake of the Chinese nation, our girls came home discussing self-discipline, integrity, and respect for elders.
00:09:56.000With school instilling a solid work ethic and a total drive for academic excellence, my husband and I didn't need to push the girls to complete homework.
00:10:02.000The shame of letting their teachers and classmates down was enough to light their fires.
00:10:07.000And this piece continues, basically talking up the joys of China and the wonders of Chinese parenting.
00:10:18.000But my family's experience in China taught us that immersion in a culture with different answers to everyday questions alters how one sees the world.
00:10:24.000Practices that used to seem clearly right or wrong took on complexity and dimension.
00:10:28.000I guess so, I see that they are very much in favor of social solidarity and national indoctrination so long as it's coming at the behest of the Chinese government.
00:10:37.000As an American parent in China, says this columnist, I learned to appreciate the strong sense of shared values and of people connected as a nation.
00:10:42.000Parenting, like governing, is an imperfect art.
00:10:44.000Priorities must be set, tough choices made.
00:10:46.000There's never been a more crucial time for us to learn from one another and build new bridges across the street, nation, and world.
00:10:52.000Attention to the common good is a fundamental value I seek in an American government co-parent.
00:10:56.000So they want the government to now inculcate the idea of a common good like the authoritarian Chinese government.
00:11:02.000And then you wonder why the odd combination of social libertinism crammed down by a top-down government is so attractive to the left.
00:11:11.000By the way, the side effects of all this can be seen in everything from the rampant rate of LGBTQ identification that is wildly exceeding what it has ever been in human history.
00:11:20.000It should be noted, by the way, sometimes you'll hear people make the idiotic argument, this is like left-handedness.
00:11:25.000So, for generations, people suppressed left-handedness in the population.
00:11:28.000They said, well, it's bad for kids to write with their left hand, and so people were taught to write with their right hand, right?
00:11:33.000And then, That's the way people start right with the left hand and over the course of sixty years the population of left handers in the united states went up about three hundred percent.
00:11:42.000The population of transgender is in the american population is now increasing at tens of thousands of percent in certain centers of our nation's population.
00:11:51.000That has nothing to do with the natural.
00:11:56.000Movement of genetic drift that has everything to do with social contagion and social contagion for which left demands both parental and government.
00:12:15.000And the way you know they're really good parents is because they say they're very accepting of this and they teach their kids they're probably going to die of climate change.
00:12:20.000Also, if they ever got near a church, they would start to shudder and shake.

00:14:24.000Well, one of them is a massive spike in juvenile crime.
00:14:27.000According to the Wall Street Journal, a 13-year-old boy ran through the Bronx streets one May afternoon last year, chased by two teens on a scooter.
00:14:33.000Surveillance video showed him frantically trying to open the doors of an assisted living facility.
00:14:37.000The scooter peeled onto the sidewalk and sped toward him.
00:14:39.000A 15-year-old boy riding on the back pointed a handgun and fired multiple times, police say.
00:14:43.000Nearby, 11-year-old Kaihara Tei stood outside a beauty salon after school.
00:14:48.000Eating chicken wings, waiting for her friends to finish getting their nails done.
00:14:51.000A stray bullet struck the pavement in front of her.
00:14:53.000She was rushed in critical condition to Lincoln Hospital two miles away, and she died that night.
00:14:57.000Violence among children, says the Wall Street Journal, has soared across the country since 2020, a stark reversal of a decades-long decline in juvenile crime.
00:15:05.000In the United States, homicides committed by juveniles acting alone rose 30% in 2020 from a year earlier.
00:15:11.000Those committed by multiple juveniles increased 66%.
00:15:14.000The number of killings committed by children under 14 was the highest in two decades, according to the most recent federal data.
00:15:20.000Now, one reason for that is because there have been so many kids out of school since 2020.
00:15:24.000As it turns out, when you tell kids not to go to school, this is what they've always pretended.
00:15:27.000There was a social science sort of misnomer where they said that hot weather causes kids to kill each other.
00:15:32.000And the answer is, hot weather doesn't cause kids to kill each other.
00:15:35.000Kids are out of school and thus they're in situations to kill one another.
00:15:38.000But over the last couple of years, it turns out that government lockdowns, shutting down schools, combined with the fact that we have an enormous number of missing fathers in American society, means higher juvenile crime.
00:15:50.000In New York City, police said 124 juveniles committed shootings during 2022, up from 62 in 2020 and 48 in 2019.
00:16:00.000Bronx District Attorney Darcyl Clark said after Kyhara's death, quote, the tragedy here is we're talking about a gunman who's too young to be called a gunman because he's 15 years old.
00:16:09.000The jump comes amid an overall wave of violent crime in the first two years of the pandemic, particularly homicides and shootings that swept through urban and rural areas alike.
00:16:18.000So, again, things going great for the nation's youngest generation, confused, at sea, and not being given any sort of guide by their parents, who seem more bogged down in their own sense of authenticity and individuality than they are in actually the hard work of being a parent.
00:16:35.000Okay, meanwhile, in the stupid culture war story of the day, M&M's has now announced that they are changing their policy regarding marketing.
00:17:18.000Rudolph will champion the power of fun to create a world where everyone feels they belong.
00:17:23.000So just to review here, basically Eminem decided that they were going to make some of the female candies look fatter so they wouldn't body shame women or something.
00:17:37.000And then they had two of the female candies holding hands, and then they had their all-female marketing with just the female candies.
00:17:45.000Which, again, as I suggested, might have been transphobic, except they also did it for the peanut M&M's, so some of the female candies had nuts.
00:17:51.000So, it was not transphobic, as it turns out.
00:17:54.000So now it turns out that when you go woke, people get mad at you and they get annoyed.
00:17:59.000And people on the left now, they're making a big fuss out of this.
00:18:02.000Oh my God, I can't believe that Eminem's caved to this.
00:18:04.000Why did the right even care about this?
00:18:06.000Why did, again, once again, this is a case of face tattoo syndrome.
00:18:09.000Face tattoo syndrome, you change your entire marketing strategy in order to please people on the left, people on the right notice, and you get mad at people on the right for noticing.
00:18:18.000I would also like to point out here that I'm not sure why Maya Rudolph is now your get-out-of-jail-free card.
00:18:44.000The New York Times has an entire breakdown of what happened with the M&Ms.
00:18:49.000Quote, M&Ms, the ubiquitous candy brand owned by Mars Wrigley, announced on Monday it would take an indefinite pause from its spokes candies, deciding the cartoon characters with arms, legs, and minimal facial features were simply too divisive for a polarized America to take.
00:19:27.000It turns out, there's an appropriate level of sexiness that M&M's figures should display in their footwear.
00:19:31.000America is divided on how sexy that should be.
00:19:33.000In January 2022, M&M's gave the aching feet of its two female Spokescandies a break, replacing the green M&M's heels with flats and swapping the brown M&M's stilettos for smaller, more comfortable heels.
00:19:44.000The decision to some was an injustice.
00:19:46.000Tucker Carlson said, M&Ms will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous.
00:19:51.000Until the moment when you wouldn't want to have a drink with any one of them.
00:20:09.000Stop pretending that you did it for some other reason.
00:20:13.000The Candy's new look was not exactly at the top of Carlson's concerns.
00:20:16.000But this month, Carlson declared that the woke M&Ms have returned after Mars Wrigley introduced a new purple M&M to the roster, and the others got a new look.
00:20:24.000Green M&M's got her boots back but is apparently now a lesbian, maybe.
00:20:26.000Plus there's a plus-size obese purple M&M.
00:20:29.000So we're going to cover that, of course, because that's what we do.
00:21:20.000According to Politico, a longtime corporate executive, Zines had no public health experience and little in the way of expertise in fighting pandemics.
00:21:25.000He ended up as the White House COVID response czar anyway.
00:21:44.000You guys still can't decide whether you have a pandemic on your hands or not.
00:21:49.000It's that Zines who wants internal praise for his managerial prowess on course for his next high-profile job as Biden's newest chief of staff.
00:21:55.000As Biden's top aide, Zines will now be expected to bring his logistical and organizational expertise to a West Wing facing another inflection point.
00:22:02.000So, Zients apparently is going to try to figure out what happens next, but we should point out that the virus is still killing like 500 people a day.
00:22:13.000Also, you have totally undercut whatever faith anybody had in the vaccine in the first place by fibbing and fibbing and fibbing again.
00:22:18.000You've undercut the faith of the American people that you're actually going to be honest about how exactly you go about quashing the virus.
00:22:27.000You're just gonna lie to the American people?
00:22:44.000There's some evidence that Michigan, for example, Where the possibility of a serious abortion restriction was on the ballot, that that may have driven Democrats to the polls.
00:22:53.000It's one reason why pro-lifers, there's some divisions among pro-lifers about the strategy to actually utilize in pursuing the most pro-life position.
00:23:01.000I am pro-life from point of conception.
00:23:03.000When it comes to the strategy that needs to be used in order to achieve the most saved unborn children, however, you have to take a look at the various states and look at a different strategy.
00:23:11.000If you're talking about Mississippi or Alabama, you go for broke.
00:23:13.000If you're talking about Michigan, what you're probably going to have to do is the same thing that's done in states like Florida.
00:23:17.000States that are more purple are going to have to incrementally push back the time of abortion and get people used to the idea That abortion is unthinkable at this time, and then you gradually move the time back.
00:23:26.000If you go for broke right away, you end up with a snapback effect in which the left ends up getting what it wants and legalizes abortion all the way up to a point of birth, which is essentially what happened in Kansas.
00:23:35.000In any case, Joe Biden thinks that he has the upper hand on abortion, which I think is rather doubtful.
00:23:39.000Yesterday, he tweeted out about Roe versus Wade.
00:23:43.000He suggested, of course, quote, Today should have been the 50th anniversary of Roe versus Wade-a-boo.
00:23:49.000Instead, mad Republican officials are waging a war on women's right to make their own health care decisions.
00:23:59.000So, um, I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden said that he was kind of in favor of Roe v. Wade being overturned in actual state legislation on this matter because he was a Catholic who was sort of uncomfortable with abortion.
00:24:10.000Now, of course, the entire Democratic Party has gone crazy in favor of abortion.
00:24:14.000Kamala Harris, speaking of people who have gone crazy over this, over the last 24 hours, she started yelling at Republicans saying, how dare they?
00:25:10.000I'll say it before and I'll say it- How dare- She has to get Greta Thunberg to like, repel from the ceiling and just say, How dare you?
00:25:16.000Into the microphone and then just repel back up to the ceiling.
00:25:19.000Kamala Harris also, over the last 24 hours, she was trying to quote the Declaration of Independence and I don't know what it is about the Declaration of Independence and Democrats, but they have a real tough time with it.
00:25:27.000You recall that Joe Biden recently tried to quote the Declaration of Independence and just started talking about corn pop randomly.
00:25:31.000Well, now Kamala Harris is quoting the Declaration of Independence and she forgot a little phrase in it called the right to life.
00:25:37.000Remember, right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
00:26:20.000You're endowed to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
00:26:22.000And when she nods like this, you know, she's lying.
00:26:24.000That's when that's when, you know, she starts nodding all weird.
00:26:28.000By the way, remember that time that a bunch of pro-life clinics got bombed and it took the federal government under Joe Biden like a year and a half to realize that or do anything about it?
00:26:36.000And they pretended the whole time it was not a big deal?
00:26:37.000Well, now it turns out that pro-abortion protesters gathered outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home again to disrupt his evening on the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which fell seven months after the ruling to overturn the landmark decision.
00:26:48.000A video of what appeared to be about a dozen protesters wielding signs in the rain outside of Kavanaugh's home on Sunday was posted by Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olihan.
00:26:56.000The demonstration outside, the personal residence, comes after protests in June outside the homes of several justices, so they are back again.
00:27:03.000Now, one of the things about the abortion bit that's quite fascinating is how the left will only selectively talk about certain aspects of abortion.
00:27:10.000So, there is an entire essay with full graphics from Drs.
00:27:14.000Erika Bliss, Joan Fleischman, and Michelle Gomez.
00:27:16.000They are co-founders of the My Abortion Network, and they have a piece in the New York Times called, Early Abortion Looks Like Nothing, What You've Been Told.
00:27:22.000Looks nothing like what you've been told.
00:27:24.000And, um, basically the entire article is just a series of pictures of very early stage fetal tissue.
00:27:35.000They say primary care clinicians, like us, who provide early abortions in their practice have long known that the pregnancy tissue we remove does not look like what most people expect.
00:27:43.000After Roe vs. Wade was overturned last summer, And early pregnancy termination was banned across more than a dozen states.
00:27:48.000We felt it was important to make this information public and show the images we have seen more widely.
00:27:52.000It's important to us to counter medical misinformation related to early pregnancy because about 80% of abortions in the United States occur at nine weeks or earlier.
00:27:59.000So they then released a bunch of pictures in the fetal tissue from essentially five through nine weeks of pregnancy. And as you would imagine, if you know anything about abortion or fetal development, it's very difficult to see anything, right?
00:28:18.000I mean, it looks like just clusters of tissue.
00:28:23.000Although the reality is by the time you get to nine or ten weeks, it is actually fairly well differentiated.
00:28:27.000I happen to know that because I've seen fetal development pictures, including aborted fetuses, all throughout the process.
00:28:34.000Okay, so that's just a simple fact of the matter.
00:28:36.000There's a difference between what, to the naked eye, a fetus looks like at five weeks and what a fetus looks like at nine weeks.
00:28:41.000Also, worth noting here, you notice the New York Times would never, not in a million years, print a picture of a 15-week-old fetus after an abortion.
00:28:57.000Instead, they'll just do it at the earliest stage.
00:28:59.000So let's say for a second, That I guess the premise of this article is that we are only supposed to care about the fetuses that look like babies.
00:29:13.000It seems to me that you are shifting the logic of why an abortion is okay.
00:29:18.000What they're really trying to fight here is the ultrasound because the reality is that the ultrasounds from the earliest stages, you're talking like from the very earliest stages, six, seven, eight weeks, you can hear the heartbeat.
00:29:27.000You can actually see things on the ultrasound.
00:29:50.000And one of the monologues I did in the midterm election special is I actually spelled out what fetal development looked like at various stages of pregnancy.
00:29:58.000And during that monologue, I actually sent to our producers at Fox, pictures of what fetuses look like at that stage of fetal development.
00:30:07.000It included very graphic photos of what abortions look like.
00:30:32.000If you are on the left and you're the New York Times, you will show what fetal tissue looks like at the very earliest stages, but you won't do it the rest of the time because it might cut against your argument.
00:30:39.000It's such an unbelievably dishonest argument by the New York Times to do that.
00:30:44.000And it's all the more reason why pro-life advocates actually should show people, as much as possible, what abortion looks like, what children in the womb look like.
00:30:52.000It's why ultrasounds are so damned important and why Planned Parenthood is fighting them so hard.
00:30:57.000Over the course of time, as science becomes better and better, and as we see better and better into the womb, the Democrats are going to lose on this issue, and they know this, and that is why they are freaking out.
00:31:05.000Okay, meanwhile, Joe Biden's document scandal is not going well.

00:33:23.000A year ago, when Joe Biden tried to force a vax mandate on private employers and some 85 million Americans, The Daily Wire told him where to stick it.
00:33:30.000We sued the federal government and we won.
00:33:31.000After a 6-3 ruling in our favor from the Supreme Court, the mandate was dead, and together, we kicked the government's ass.
00:33:36.000So, On the first anniversary of this tremendous victory for all Americans, the Daily Wire CEO and God King Jeremy Boring has issued a special decree on the razors that bear his name.

00:34:10.000Okay, meanwhile, Joe Biden's document scandal is not going anywhere.
00:34:14.000And the Biden team really has no defense to it.
00:34:17.000Joe Biden's, one of his top advisors, a person named Ian Sams, he appeared on national TV yesterday to talk about the fact that he can't actually explain how many documents have actually been found or are out there, which is not a good sign.
00:34:31.000Can you give us a sense of how many classified documents we are now talking about total across all three locations?
00:34:38.000Sure, it's a good question and actually the answer to it is a little bit complicated because of this point that I'm making about the integrity of an ongoing Justice Department investigation.
00:34:47.000The Justice Department is going to be looking at all sorts of questions like that throughout their investigation.
00:35:25.000Hillary's emails didn't keep anybody up at night.
00:35:27.000It irritated everybody that Hillary was getting away with it, but nobody was deeply worried that Hillary's emails were actually going to result in the Chinese having our nuclear codes.
00:35:34.000Nobody is worried that Donald Trump is selling Chinese the nuclear secrets, and nobody's really worried that Joe Biden was trafficking with Iran or something.
00:35:43.000The thing that keeps people awake at night is lack of credibility and consistency in implementation of the law.
00:35:48.000That's the thing that people are worried about.
00:35:50.000Nobody's actually worried that Joe Biden has sitting in his Basement in Delaware.
00:35:55.000A bunch of old documents from the time that he was on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
00:35:59.000What people are worried about is that there's one standard for him and there's another standard for you.
00:36:03.000There's one standard for Trump and there's another standard for Hillary Clinton.
00:36:06.000That is the thing that does keep people up at night.
00:36:08.000Anyway, here's Senator Coons trying to defend Joe Biden.
00:36:11.000And how can he say he takes classified material seriously when some of what was found may have been in his home for more than a decade and he seemingly had no idea?
00:36:21.000As you get more senior and as the matters that you're handling are more important and occasionally more classified, the volume gets higher.
00:36:52.000People were waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.
00:36:53.000Not unless you were a person who read Mary Trump's book as a devotional or something.
00:37:00.000Every morning you just read a section of Mary Trump while on bended knee or something.
00:37:04.000Most of us looked at Donald Trump doing what he was doing.
00:37:05.000We're like, ah, well, I guess he's tweeting something on the toilet again.
00:37:08.000It was only Democrats who was keeping them up.
00:37:10.000And oh my God, what are we going to do?
00:37:11.000Donald Trump's tweeting another thing.
00:37:13.000That's not actually the standard, as you may have noticed.
00:37:15.000And again, as I say, there is a divide that is broken out inside the Democratic Party.
00:37:19.000You've got, again, people like Chris Coons or MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell trying to defend Joe Biden.
00:37:23.000Here's O'Donnell doing that yesterday.
00:37:25.000They should still be able to hold these two separate cases in separate silos and still charge Donald Trump if Donald Trump's case justifies charging him, regardless of what Joe Biden did.
00:37:39.000Yeah, and everything we know about the Biden case is because of Biden cooperation.
00:37:52.000We found out about it in the middle of January.
00:37:54.000So no, actually, they weren't super cooperative with the American people, as it turns out.
00:37:59.000Well, Politico is reporting on the gap.
00:38:00.000They say, Senate Democrats returned on Monday after a long recess and after the Justice Department found additional classified documents during a 13-hour search of Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware.
00:38:08.000The discovery of those documents, on top of classified materials found in November and December, has created a political headache after Democrats sought to hammer Trump for his handling of classified material.
00:38:17.000The issue is also an unwelcome one for the party.
00:38:19.000I hope they found them all, said Dick Durbin.
00:38:22.000As for the president, Durbin said, he's done well by cooperating every step of the way, but he still has documents and I don't understand why he'd have those in his personal possession.
00:38:31.000Democrats are rejecting comparisons with Trump.
00:38:33.000They argue that unlike Trump, Biden's legal team turned over the documents upon discovery and invited the DOJ to search for more.
00:38:39.000But, Senate Minority Whip John Thune, Republican of South Dakota, says quite correctly, the discovery of the Biden documents neutralizes the issue politically.
00:38:48.000He said they're trying to attack Trump.
00:38:49.000Biden was chair of the Foreign Relations Committee.
00:39:16.000But the whole idea of holding up the debt ceiling is, let's get the government's fiscal house in order, in order so we extend another line of credit.
00:39:24.000Now, Democrats who think this is crazy, we do this with like the International Monetary Fund all the time.
00:39:29.000The IMF and the World Bank, when they give loans to a third world country, very often they'll say, you need to get your house in order before we extend the credit to you.
00:39:35.000And if that country comes back a little later and says, okay, we took out the credit, we spent all the money, and now we need another loan.
00:39:41.000They'll say, well, before we give you a second loan, we need to know how you're going to restructure your debt.
00:39:44.000Like, what are you going to do to fix all of this?
00:39:47.000But Democrats seem to be under the belief, and so do the media, that once you take out debt, you now have an endless supply of more debt you get to take out.
00:40:08.000Okay, so every so often, there is a theory that the President of the United States should defeat the debt ceiling by coining a trillion dollar coin In case you don't understand what this is, Fortune magazine explains, The scheme, which proponents say is authorized by an obscure law which would involve the U.S. Treasury minting a special coin and depositing it with the Federal Reserve, a measure that could stave off an impending crisis triggered by Republicans in the House of Representatives, have said they will refuse to raise the country's borrowing limit, raising the so-called debt ceiling as necessary to cover Congress's existing obligations,
00:40:38.000hence the appeal of the trillion-dollar coin.
00:40:40.000So basically, they create a coin, and they say this is worth one trillion dollars, and they deposit it in the U.S.
00:41:06.000passed the Commemorative Coin Act, which allows the Secretary of the Treasury to mint platinum coins of any value It was supposed to be used to print collectibles.
00:41:14.000You know, like their Bicentennial coin or something.
00:41:18.000And now, commentators like Paul Krugman of the New York Times are advocating that the Treasury Department should print a platinum coin worth $1 trillion.
00:41:25.000The Department would then give the coin, which is essentially unusable to the Federal Reserve, would then convert it into the cash the government can use to pay the bills.
00:41:31.000It would be unable to cover without borrowing money.
00:41:38.000Krugman said that minting a trillion-dollar coin would almost certainly be legal, but there are others who are not morons who are being a little bit more cautious about all of that.
00:41:46.000Gerard Comisio, a law professor at American University's Washington College of Law said, quote, I think it raises a lot of open legal questions about the Fed's authority to be involved in this kind of transaction. This is arguably not a monetary policy.
00:41:59.000In other words, this is not a problem that you solve.
00:42:01.000When you have an outstanding debt of 31 trillion dollars, that's not a problem you solve by printing 31 trillion dollar coins and just handing them out to people.
00:42:19.000How about Republicans come forward with a list of demands in order to actually increase the debt ceiling?
00:42:22.000gimmick. The Fed's not required to accept it. There's no requirement on the part of the Fed. It's up to them what to do. They're thinking about the possibility of doing it as a digital coin also. It's all so stupid. How about this? How about Republicans come forward with a list of demands in order to actually increase the debt ceiling and then Democrats negotiate over that?
00:42:40.000You might think so, but we have now reached the stage of impasse where Democrats refuse, like, the most basic demands to even negotiate on issues like this.
00:42:48.000They just walk away from the table and claim that, essentially, they're done.
00:42:52.000Okay, meanwhile, in the ongoing saga that is George Santos, uh, that, that, uh... So George Santos, you'll recall, is a newly elected Republican congressperson.
00:43:03.000If that's even his real name, And now, according to the Business Insider, he partied in drag over a three-year period.
00:43:13.000New videos appear to show, despite his suggestion, that it was a one-off.
00:43:15.000So first of all, it's never a one-off.
00:43:17.000Okay, dudes partying in drag typically party in drag a lot.
00:43:21.000How many people do you know who are like, that was a one-time thing by the time I partied in drag.
00:43:26.000Representative George Santos, who initially denied claims he performed as a drag queen, later appeared to admit he had once had fun at a festival dressing as a woman.
00:43:32.000There was George Santos the other day saying, sue me for having a life!
00:44:15.000You are going to be sued for a variety of other reasons, as it turns out.
00:44:20.000Apparently, this story just fell apart on him very, very quickly because there were other people who had seen him dressing in drag fairly routinely.
00:44:28.000So the list of George Santos lies is really, really long.
00:44:33.000Everybody who is saying that George Santos, there's nothing in politics like this, Every single thing that Joe Biden has said about his history is pretty much fake.
00:44:41.000So I'm just going to point out here, when it comes to politicians lying routinely about who they are and what they do, George Santos, I mean, I guess at least he's not president, is the best that we can say.
00:44:52.000Alrighty, guys, the rest of the show is continuing right now.
00:44:55.000We will be getting into Democrats proposing a program of nationwide rent control, plus a big fight breaking out in the House over whether Democrats should be allowed to appoint people like Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell to the intelligence panel.
