Israel's National Intelligence Agency, Mossad, pulled off what has to be the single most hilarious and effective and targeted military operation in world history. At some point, they must have intercepted thousands of pagers that they knew were going to be distributed by the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah. It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at this. And if you happen to be a devotee of the fall of Babylon, this is the perfect moment to rejoice over her. It turns out that when a Western power blows something like a 2,800 pager off a terrorist, it deserves a celebration in the West, because it turns out, that's because it's not only hilarious, it's political. And there's nothing immoral about laughing at terrorists who get their balls blown off. As it says in Proverbs: When the righteous prosper, they rejoice when the wicked die. Or in Psalms 58:10, "The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked." Or perhaps Deuteronomy 32:1- "Rejoice over her, with vengeance, for he will make atonement for his land, and make vengeance on his land and his enemies; and make his vengeance for his enemies." Revelations 18:18 It's the Fall of Babylon. is the New Testament, which suggests that Babylon is the place of atonement, and the fall is the atonement of Babylon . And if Babylon is not Babylon, it is Babylon, then it is the fall The fall of her and her is the Fall , and her atonement of Babylon is the fall, which is the falling in the fall.

00:00:00.000So yesterday, Israel's National Intelligence Agency, Mossad, pulled off what has to be the single most hilarious and effective and targeted military operation probably in world history.
00:00:37.000Apparently, at some point, they must have interdicted something like 4,000 pagers that they knew were going to be distributed by the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.
00:00:46.000That's an Iranian-backed terror group that has been at war with the West and with Israel continuously for decades.
00:00:52.000That war has ramped up over the course of the last year since October 7th.
00:00:56.000Hezbollah has spent the last year or so firing some 8,000 rockets into northern Israel.
00:01:01.000Such heavy rocket fire that not only have dozens of people been killed, Israel has basically evacuated 80 to 100,000 people from the north of Israel thanks to Hezbollah's predations.
00:01:11.000Hezbollah's also armed with something like 200,000 rockets and maybe 50,000 that are specifically targeting capable, meaning they could actually target towers in Tel Aviv.
00:01:21.000So Hezbollah is a very large, very powerful terror group, and they actually help control the Lebanese government on behalf of the Iranian government.
00:01:30.000So, Hezbollah has been at war with Israel for a very long time.
00:01:33.000They have used indiscriminate rocket fire in order to kill civilians in Israel, including, most recently, in Mashal Shams, which is an Israeli-Arab village in the Golan Heights, where 12 kids were recently killed by Hezbollah.
00:01:43.000Well, yesterday, Israel pulled off what has to be one of the great intelligence operations of all time.
00:01:48.000Now, listen, Mossad has become sort of a byword for effective intelligence agency pulling off astonishing operations.
00:01:54.000Over the course of the last few years, for example, the Israeli Mossad somehow infiltrated
00:02:00.000the Iranian nuclear facilities technological specs such that they were able to insert a virus
00:02:06.000into the nuclear program of the Iranian regime.
00:02:10.000And they were able to essentially feedback loop a bunch of bad data and hold up the developments
00:02:15.000of the Iranian nuclear program for years.
00:02:17.000It was a virus called Stuxnet that they got uploaded in some creative way.
00:02:21.000And then just a few months ago, they killed Ismail Haniyeh, who is the political head of Hamas.
00:02:29.000He had traveled to Tehran for the inauguration of the new Iranian president, and he was staying at the guest quarters, essentially, in Tehran.
00:02:37.000And Israel somehow had planted a bomb in the bedroom of the guest quarters.
00:02:42.000They waited until Khania was in there with his bodyguard at 2 a.m.
00:02:45.000Not gonna make any implications, but... And both of them end up dead.
00:03:48.000Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants.
00:03:51.000He will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and his people.
00:03:56.000And if you happen to be a devotee of the New Testament, Revelations 18 suggests rejoice over her, this is the fall of Babylon, oh heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has pronounced judgment against her on your behalf.
00:04:06.000Beyond that, there is something politically useful in laughing at terrorists, because the reality is what they deeply desire is fear and respect, and nothing undermines fear and respect more than laughter.
00:04:17.000Well, this incident deserves not only laughter, it deserves celebration in the West, because it turns out that when a Western power, which Israel certainly is, blows the balls off something like 2,800 terrorists in a simultaneous pager attack, that's funny.
00:04:35.000It's funny, and it's effective, and it's targeted.
00:04:37.000You're seeing people out today, the Edward Snowdens of the world, who effectively is a Russian agent, and always has been.
00:04:43.000Suggesting that this is a danger to the world, what Israel did.
00:04:47.000It is the most targeted military operation in history.
00:04:51.000You don't have to worry that your iPhone is going to blow up in your pocket because number one, you don't work for Hezbollah.
00:04:55.000And number two, your iPhone does not have the components necessary to blow up in your pocket.
00:04:59.000That's not how this operation was carried out.
00:05:02.000When you see tool bags like the editor of Current Affairs tweeting, Israel had absolutely no idea who would be standing nearby when these beepers exploded.
00:05:09.000No, they had a pretty good idea because the beepers are on the bodies of the terrorists.
00:05:12.000It turns out you don't get a beeper in the year 2024 unless you are a Hezbollah terrorist in Lebanon.
00:05:18.000How many beepers have you seen recently?
00:05:21.000I understand that there might be some retro folks who are still using beepers from 1998.
00:05:25.000Let's just say this is not a device in general use.
00:05:27.000And the reason that all of these Hezbollah terrorists were carrying around beepers is because back in February, Israel had so thoroughly hacked Hezbollah's communications networks via things like iPhones, that Hezbollah's terror chief, Hassan Nasrallah, he had actually told his people to stop using modern devices and go back to a beeper system.
00:05:47.000This is one of the things that terrorists in Hamas and Hezbollah do.
00:05:51.000These massacres and murderers, one of the things that they do is they go low-tech in order to avoid high-tech surveillance.
00:05:57.000There is only one problem, which is that Mossad is really, really good at what they do.
00:06:03.000According to the Wall Street Journal, pagers carried by thousands of Hezbollah operatives exploded at about the same time Tuesday afternoon.
00:06:09.000In what appeared to be an unprecedented attack, authorities had injured almost 2,800 people and killed 9 across Lebanon.
00:06:16.000Many of the affected pagers were from a new shipment the group received in recent days, people familiar with the matter said.
00:06:21.000Hezbollah officials said many fighters had such devices, adding some people felt the pagers heat up and disposed of them before they burst.
00:06:28.000Hezbollah said a number of the pagers carried by its members exploded simultaneously at 3.30 p.m.
00:06:34.000It couldn't immediately be determined what caused the blasts, which were spread out across the country in several areas where Hezbollah has a heavy presence.
00:06:42.000The reason these people were carrying beepers is because they were handed them by the Hezbollah higher-ups at some point in the supply chain.
00:06:47.000Israel must have interdicted ordering the production process.
00:06:51.000Interdicted these particular beepers, knowing that they were going to be handed out to the Hezbollah fighters.
00:06:56.000This must have been done months, if not a year in advance.
00:07:00.000And put some sort of small explosive, like just a couple of grams of explosive, plus some material near the battery, such that when the battery was prompted by code to heat up, it exploded the small amount of explosive that was in the pager.
00:07:15.000Now, the reason that I suggest that many balls were blown off here, and that there will be many unsatisfied 72 virgins in heaven, apparently, is because, of course, men tend to wear their beepers near that area.
00:07:27.000If you got your beeper in your pocket.
00:07:36.000Okay, well, in any military operation in an urban area, civilians will be killed.
00:07:42.000If the terrorist-wounded-and-killed to civilians-wounded-and-killed ratio is on the order of, say, 500 to 1, that would make this the most successful targeted operation in the history of urban warfare.
00:07:57.000If Israel had sent precise snipers into Lebanon to kill Hezbollah terrorists at this scale, many more civilians would have died than in this particular operation.
00:08:08.000It turns out warfare is really ugly and really bad.
00:08:12.000If you could carry out a targeted operation where literally the only people carrying the devices work for Hezbollah, And you blow up the devices?
00:08:20.000There is no more targeted operation that is possible.
00:08:23.000It is not even possible to target it anymore.
00:08:25.000Which is why, when you see people who are now expressing outrage at the operation, understand what they're outraged at is Israel defending itself.
00:08:49.000The reason they're upset is because Israel is good at what it does.
00:08:52.000And actually, Israel's discriminateness makes them more upset.
00:08:55.000Because the more discriminant Israel is, the more it demonstrates that Israel actually does care about human life way more than its enemies do.
00:09:03.000This is one of the things that boggles so many minds about the war in Gaza.
00:09:07.000Israel has pursued the single most humane war in the history of warfare in Gaza.
00:09:11.000Now, humane war is inevitably a bit of an oxymoron, because war is never humane.
00:09:16.000But if you are going to pursue a war, telling people in advance that you are about to come into an area, helping to evacuate those areas, providing food to the people who leave those areas, using precise targeted munitions on specific terrorists, such that the terrorist to civilian death ratio is 1.6 to 1, That is the most humane war it is possible to fight.
00:09:36.000Now, there's no such thing, again, as a fully humane war, because the most humane war is the one that doesn't get fought.
00:09:40.000But it turns out that when a terrorist group overruns a boundary and kills 1,200 people, and takes 250 hostages, and murders hostages in tunnels, and continues to fire rockets, and continues to flood the zone with military munitions, it turns out that that tends to provoke a war.
00:09:56.000So, the actual answer to stopping this war would be to let Israel finish the war.
00:10:00.000It turns out, by the way, that the best way to achieve peace in the Middle East is through victory.
00:10:05.000This happens to be true in every military conflict.
00:10:08.000The best way to achieve peace is victory.
00:10:12.000Folks, the best way to achieve peace in the Middle East is through victory.
00:10:15.000And it turns out that the best way to achieve economic prosperity is peace, which is why a Harris administration is likely going to be a disaster for your finances.
00:10:23.000We're now looking at a proposed top income tax rate under Kamala Harris of nearly 40%, a 7% hike in corporate taxes, and a capital gains tax on unrealized gains.
00:11:23.000and high inflation, protect your savings with gold from Birch Gold.

00:11:30.000The notion that stopping short and signing a peace agreement
00:11:33.000is the way to provide a long-term victory?
00:11:37.000It may work on rare occasions. It would be particularly rare.
00:11:41.000This is a point that has been made by military historians.
00:11:45.000People always talk about the burdensome Versailles Treaty after World War I and how if it hadn't been so burdensome and the peace deal had been more nice to Germany than there would have been in World War II.
00:11:55.000Or, alternatively, it turns out that after World War II, Germany was literally divided down the middle, its entire military infrastructure was destroyed, and the West effectively occupied West Germany.
00:12:05.000And there hasn't been a war on the continent since.
00:12:48.000Now, the reality is this is not going to solve the underlying problem with regard to Lebanon and Hezbollah.
00:12:53.000In fact, this operation was originally apparently meant to be the initiation of a broader Israeli operation intended to push Hezbollah north of the Litani River, in accordance, by the way, with UN resolutions.
00:13:04.000Remember, southern Lebanon was supposed to be abandoned by Hezbollah and in control of the UN after Israel's last incursion into Lebanon, which happened in 2006.
00:13:15.000So the UN was supposed to make sure that that place was not re-militarized.
00:13:17.000Of course, the UN effectively works for the organization of Islamic countries, and particularly in the Middle East, works for terror regimes.
00:13:24.000This is why the UN RWA is basically just Hamas' front group.
00:13:27.000So, the UN was supposed to guarantee, through UNIFIL, no armed forces in the area south of the Latani River, which is southern Lebanon.
00:13:35.000And promptly the entire thing got filled by Hezbollah.
00:13:36.000So Israel has every right to go and restore its own security in the north.
00:13:40.000This operation originally was supposed to be the lead-off to a broader operation in Lebanon.
00:13:48.000However, apparently it was prompted in terms of its urgency by the fact that a couple of Hezbollah fighters looked at their pagers and they were heating up and they were like, I don't know what's going on here.
00:13:58.000And so Israel basically had to use the operation or lose the operation, I think was basically the idea.
00:14:03.000According to the Wall Street Journal, ambulances soon wailed through the streets of central Beirut.
00:14:07.000Hundreds of people gathered outside emergency rooms at hospitals across the city, where some of the most severe injuries were sent from around the country.
00:14:13.000At American University of Beirut Medical Center, ambulances pulled up every few minutes for several hours, along with black SUVs with tinted windows.
00:14:20.000An off-duty soldier said he was with a friend in a car in a suburb in southern Beirut.
00:14:23.000His friend stopped to enter a shop as he stepped out, his pager blew up, injuring him.
00:14:26.000The soldier was waiting for news outside a hospital in Beirut.
00:14:30.000Now again, the injuries typically have been, there have been some blindings.
00:14:35.000If people took their pager out, if terrorists took their pager out and looked at it, hit them in the face.
00:14:40.000If they didn't quite make it to their face, then blew off hands.
00:14:43.000If they didn't pick it up out of their pocket at all, blew off some balls.
00:14:46.000And bottom line is, this is, again, the single most targeted operation in military history.
00:14:55.000Every other battle that takes place where only members of the military die are an open warfare in the field.
00:15:01.000The thing about Hezbollah and Hamas, they operate from civilian areas, they deliberately hide behind civilians.
00:15:06.000So the fact that civilian casualty on this one is so low is indicative of just how seriously Israel actually takes civilian life and also the extent of the targeting.
00:15:15.000There are certain reports suggesting that the devices were imported some five months ago, that Sky News Arabia Apparently, the Mossad spy agency got hold of Hezbollah's communication devices before they were handed over to the terror group, and then they placed a quantity of PETN, which is a highly explosive material, on the batteries of the device, and then they detonated them by raising the temperature of the batteries from afar.
00:15:37.000So, forget about moronic takes like that from Edward Snowden, this was just basically Israel remotely blowing up phones by heating up the batteries.
00:15:45.000Don't worry, your phone is not going to blow up in your pocket because of the Israelis.
00:15:49.000If you're an anti-Semite, by the way, I highly suggest that you throw out your phone.
00:15:58.000The reality is, of course, that Israel carried out this operation because Israel has been hamstrung in its operations in Lebanon.
00:16:04.000That is why Israel carried out an operation like this, which goes to a broader failure of American military policy.
00:16:09.000I mean, this is hilarious, and it's amazing, and it will make an amazing Hollywood film.
00:16:14.000How you infiltrate an entire supply of pagers just for Hezbollah and you use a device that no civilian would use because again it is the year 2024 when no one has a pager.
00:16:24.000The fact that Hezbollah devices were blown up All at one time, and then suddenly, poof, a bunch of terrorists were on the ground.
00:16:33.000However, it is also indicative of higher levels of conflict in the Middle East.
00:16:36.000Remember, the Red Sea has now been abandoned by the United States and our allies to the Houthis, a ragtag group of terrorists who the State Department refuses to relist as a terrorist organization.
00:16:47.000Remember, the Chinese are on the move.
00:16:49.000Remember, the Russians are on the move.
00:16:50.000This is because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are unbelievably weak and terrible on foreign policy.
00:16:57.000Walter Russell Meade writes in the Wall Street Journal today, The news from abroad is chilling.
00:17:00.000Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reports from Kiev, Ukraine is bleeding out as its weary soldiers struggle against the numerically superior Russia.
00:17:07.000The New York Times reports, China is expanding the geographical region escalating violence in its campaign to drive Philippine forces from islands and shoals that Beijing illegitimately claims.
00:17:16.000Washington officials are fearful Russia will help Iran cross the finish line in its race for nuclear weapons.
00:17:21.000These stories, all from liberal news outlets generally favorable to the Biden administration, tell a tragic and terrifying tale of global failure on the part of the U.S.
00:17:29.000China, Russia, Iran are stepping up their attacks on what remains of the Pax Americana and continue to make gains at the expense of Washington and its allies around the world.
00:17:40.000Well, it turns out that we have political failure, strategic inadequacy, and growing American weakness, according to a newly released report from the Commission on the National Defense Strategy.
00:18:10.000is too weak either to prevent it or, should war come, to be confident of victory.
00:18:16.000Again, this isn't new and this isn't shocking.
00:18:18.000The reality is that the Biden-Harris administration has gone to sleep.
00:18:22.000They believe that talking with America's enemies is somehow magically a solution.
00:18:27.000That is not the way any of this works.
00:18:30.000They are guided by complete dunder-headed morons like Thomas Friedman, a man who gets all of his foreign policy knowledge in the back of taxi cabs in Beirut.
00:18:37.000The fact that Thomas Friedman is taken seriously by folks in the Biden administration demonstrates just how dumb folks in the Biden administration are.
00:18:46.000Friedman says, for example, in his latest column, which came out yesterday, he's talking about instability in the Middle East.
00:18:53.000He says about Israel hitting Hezbollah members.
00:18:58.000diplomats are trying to quiet the battlefield in physical space, the one in cyberspace erupts.
00:19:03.000Today, getting all the interests of these entities aligned at once to secure a ceasefire in Gaza is as easy as getting all the same colors lined up on one side of a Rubik's cube.
00:19:19.000Historically speaking, letting your allies win is an awesome strategy for actual victory.
00:19:24.000This notion that Thomas Friedman and his genius coterie of diplomats, the Anthony Blinkens and Phil Gordons of the world, are going to go over to the Middle East and somehow get Hamas, which wants to extirpate Israel, and Hezbollah, which wants to eliminate Israel, and the Houthis, whose actual slogan is death to the Jews, to get on the same page as Israel, That's not going to happen.
00:19:43.000So, the question is, what are you going to do about it?
00:19:46.000Or rather, what are you going to let Israel do about it?
00:19:48.000The same thing, by the way, happens to be true with regard to Russia and Ukraine.
00:19:52.000The Biden administration has been slow-walking weaponry this entire war.
00:19:57.000Now again, you want to make the case that the United States should have put more pressure on Ukraine to basically surrender Donbass and Crimea?
00:20:03.000Without somehow ensuring further Russian aggression?
00:20:08.000That's not the case the Biden administration made.
00:20:10.000The case the Biden administration made is that Ukraine has to win.
00:20:12.000And then they will withhold enough weaponry for Ukraine to even have a chance of winning, despite Ukraine's heroic holding out against Russian aggression.
00:20:20.000You know, we need some better people on our foreign policy team because the current folks just suck.
00:20:23.000And that may be true of your business as well.
00:20:25.000You need the best employees and you need it to happen right now.
00:21:07.000We've been using ZipRecruiter for years here at DailyWire.
00:21:09.000It's why we run an increasingly efficient business year after year.
00:21:12.000You constantly have to make And whatever you believe about the outbreak of the war, Vladimir Putin invaded a sovereign country and tried to take Kiev.
00:21:53.000The basic idea was that if we gradually ratchet up the pressure on the Viet Cong, then they would eventually give up, cry uncle, and go home.
00:22:00.000It didn't work, because it turns out that if you incrementally increase pain, people don't feel it as much.
00:22:06.000Shock and awe actually is a better military strategy.
00:22:09.000Overwhelming force is a much better military strategy.
00:22:11.000And yet when it came to Ukraine, the U.S.
00:22:14.000and its allies decided they wanted to back Ukraine, and that's a choice.
00:22:17.000They decided they wanted to back Ukraine.
00:22:19.000If you're going to do that, you have to provide them the material necessary to force Putin to the table.
00:22:24.000You can't do that by slow-walking aid the way that Biden did, denying particular weapon systems.
00:22:28.000And he's doing the exact same thing with Israel against Hamas, which is even more amazing given the fact that Hamas isn't armed with nuclear weapons.
00:22:34.000At least you can make the case that if you go too hard against Russia, maybe Putin will go nuts and fire off a nuke.
00:22:40.000He has demonstrated, by the way, that he is not going to do that.
00:22:47.000It turns out the single easiest decision in the history of American foreign policy would be to back your democratic ally in the face of predatory terror groups threatening its borders sufficient so they can wreck those groups.
00:22:59.000Which would, by the way, be great for the people of Lebanon who have been subjected to the tender mercies of Hezbollah and Iran for 40 years now.
00:23:47.000And when it comes to Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky has basically been saying to the Biden administration, listen, you're not giving us what we want, fine, we'll just go into Russia.
00:23:54.000And then maybe when you try to broker a peace deal, then we'll do some land swaps, right?
00:23:58.000We'll give back the land that we're occupying in Russia and they'll give back some of the land they're occupying in Ukraine.
00:24:02.000We're not listening to you anymore because you're not giving us what we want.
00:24:06.000It turns out that alliances require support, actual support, not just verbal support, not just empty verbiage.
00:24:14.000And this is the problem with Kamala Harris.
00:24:16.000Kamala Harris will be awful as president, awful.
00:24:18.000We're in the middle of an election cycle that is basically deadlocked right now.
00:24:22.000Anybody who's telling you this election is over and Kamala Harris is definitely going to win is lying to you.
00:24:28.000Nate Silver's studies right now still suggest that while Kamala Harris is gaining in the post-debate polls, the chances that Cheshire wins the election are still minority.
00:24:42.000Right now, according to the forecast, Donald Trump still has a 56% shot of winning an electoral college majority, according to Nate Silver's forecast.
00:24:50.000Now that may change, but that's the current stats.
00:24:52.000Anybody pretending that Kamala is running away with this thing is lying to you.
00:24:56.000Which is why it absolutely matters, it absolutely matters what she says and what she does, and why the media don't cover any of it.
00:25:02.000So yesterday, she did a Q&A at the National Association of Black Journalists.
00:25:06.000Now, you remember that Trump also did a Q&A at the NABJ, and he was basically grilled by the moderators.
00:25:13.000She went and she got the absolute massage, which you knew she was going to get.
00:25:18.000And she had many things to say, none of them particularly relevant, except for what she had to say on foreign policy.
00:25:23.000So, she was asked about the situation in Israel-Gaza.
00:25:27.000And she said, she kind of paid the usual lip service to Israel having a right to defend itself.
00:25:32.000Here was what she said, and then we'll show you why she's lying.
00:25:36.000And yes, so I have said, Israel has a right to defend itself.
00:26:08.000And we have to agree that not only must we end this war, but we have to have a goal of a two-state solution.
00:26:19.000Because there must be stability and peace in that reason.
00:26:24.000In as much as what we do in our goal is to ensure That Israelis have security and Palestinians in equal measure.
00:26:33.000One of the things that we have done that I am entirely supportive of is the pause that we've put on the 2,000 pound bombs.
00:26:42.000And so there is some leverage that we have had and used.
00:26:47.000OK, so she has nothing to say except she's going to just jab her about a deal.
00:26:50.000And the only measure, she says, that was good that they have taken is denying Israel weapons in the middle of the war.
00:26:57.000If you think that lady is going to stand up to international terrorism, you got another thought coming.
00:27:01.000And if you don't think that radically increases the chances of massive war in the Middle East, that is totally wrong.
00:27:06.000What increases the chances of war, always and forever, is a perception by one side that they can beat the other side, or do heavy damage to the other side, disproportionate to the damage they will take.
00:27:17.000Hamas entered a war against Israel, believing that they would receive the overwhelming support of Hezbollah in the north, which didn't come.
00:27:24.000They went into the war believing that they would more quickly be able to turn public opinion and that they would be able to basically exploit the political splits inside the state of Israel in order to get away with doing what they did.
00:27:36.000That was the logic of the attack and they miscalculated.
00:27:38.000It was a massive miscalculation because now half of their entire fighting force has been wiped off the battlefield and their leadership is hiding in bunkers using basically carrier pigeons to communicate with his aides.
00:27:49.000But there'll be a lot more of those misperceptions in the near future because the single most powerful military force in the history of the world is the United States.
00:27:58.000When the United States withdraws from the arena, a vacuum occurs.
00:28:02.000That vacuum comes along with an enormous amount of misperception.
00:28:05.000It means that you believe that you can get away with things, just like in any other situation where there's an authority figure.
00:28:11.000If the authority figure steps out of the room, chaos ensues because somebody attempts to fill the power vacuum.
00:28:17.000Well, it turns out that when there is no actual controlling power, a bunch of chaos ensues.
00:28:35.000I believe in hard work and results, which is exactly what Momentus, creatine, omega-3, and protein deliver.
00:28:40.000These three supplements deliver nearly every aspect of foundational health, from aiding cognitive function to reducing muscle and joint inflammation.
00:28:47.000My good friend and colleague, Christine, is a triathlete and a mom to a toddler, which is a lot, and she's been taking these supplements daily, which means she's not only crushing it on her Peloton every morning, she's also dominating at work.
00:28:56.000It's like a secret weapon for high performers who want to outwork the competition.
00:28:59.000Now, in a world of questionable products, Momentus does stand out.
00:29:02.000They work with only the best experts in the business.
00:29:04.000They use only the highest quality ingredients.
00:29:06.000What's on the label is what's in the product and nothing else.
00:29:11.000Momentus heavily invests in third-party testing.
00:29:14.000Which means they hold their products to the standard set by the most demanding organizations in the world, including the NFL and the NBA, which means some of the world's best athletes are using and have even helped develop Momentus products.
00:29:23.000So if you want to take supplements that are made by and used by the best in the world, go to livemomentus.com slash Shapiro or use code Shapiro for 20% off.
00:30:47.000In the words of Stalin, push where there's mush.
00:30:50.000Well, the more mush Harris has shown, the more America's enemies are pushing, and you will see this.
00:30:55.000China, by the way, going after the Philippines, is an attempt to basically take control of all the major shipping lanes on planet Earth.
00:31:02.000You think this doesn't matter to you in your daily life.
00:31:04.000The reality is you're already paying more for product right now, just in your daily life.
00:31:07.000You're paying more for product because everything is not getting shipped via the Suez Canal.
00:31:11.000It's now going around the Horn of Africa.
00:31:14.000All the shipping has changed, making it more expensive.
00:31:17.000Imagine if that happens with, for example, the Straits of Malacca.
00:31:21.000The Straits of Malacca are located in an area in which the Chinese are attempting to exert more and more influence.
00:31:30.000The South China Sea, which is essentially the major shipping lane for nearly all world trade, China is attempting to basically stranglehold that area.
00:31:40.000The Taiwan Strait, a massive shipping lane.
00:31:44.000China is taking control of a huge number of global shipping lanes, and then they're going to exploit that.
00:31:49.000And they will do that because of American weakness.
00:31:56.000Their weakness leads to dead people on all sides, by the way, because it turns out more people in Lebanon will die if Hezbollah gets more aggressive, because that's the way that war works.
00:32:08.000But all this comes down to, Kamala Harris is, again, just another face on the idiot machine that is the Democratic media complex.
00:33:57.000Here she was again, asked by the NABJ, are you better off than you were four years ago?
00:34:01.000As I said, the single most important moment of the debate between Trump and Harris was Trump missing the opportunity to step on her over this question.
00:34:09.000That was the first question she was asked in the debate.
00:34:28.000Wouldn't you imagine that her handlers, her script writers, would have come up with a better answer to this question?
00:34:33.000She still can't answer this question because everybody knows the answer.
00:34:36.000That is the systemic obstacle she faces.
00:34:38.000Here she was being asked, if you're better off than four years ago, and here's her non-answer.
00:34:43.000Are they better off now than they were four years ago?
00:34:47.000So when we came into, well first of all let me just say it is good to be with the National Association of Black Journalists and I thank you for the work you do and that your members do every day.
00:34:55.000It is very important that we ensure that this organization and your members always have the resources and the platforms to deliver the voices that must be heard.
00:35:53.000She doesn't do that because she can't give that answer and everybody knows it.
00:35:57.000That's why her campaign is actually falling flat.
00:36:00.000Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because she's running better than an actual dead person, Joe Biden, that means that her campaign is wildly successful.
00:36:16.000You know, when you form a sort of investment fund, one of the things you have to do to show prospective investors what it is that you're going to do is your investment record.
00:36:25.000The people who form the fund have to show how they've used money in the past and why it would be a good idea to invest with them for the future.
00:36:31.000Kamala Harris does not have a record other than the record of the administration in which she is currently vice president.
00:36:37.000So when she says things like, I have a new approach, which is the thing she said yesterday, who believes this?
00:37:16.000You're the current vice president of the United States.
00:37:19.000I mean, she can't even answer basic questions like reparations.
00:37:22.000So, unbelievably enough, she's to the left of Barack Obama on this.
00:37:25.000When Barack Obama was asked about reparations in 2008, he said, reparations is a distraction.
00:37:30.000It's never going to happen and it's a waste of time, which is the correct answer.
00:37:34.000Kamala Harris is like, well, maybe we'll have, you know, when you think about the importance of the past.
00:37:40.000and the future and all the time in between the past and the future. What you realize is that
00:37:46.000slavery was a thing that happened and has many ramifications for all time, for past, future,
00:37:54.000present, other dimensions perhaps. Here we go. On the issue of what we need to do going forward,
00:38:03.000look, first of all, we just need to speak truth about history in spite of the fact that some
00:38:07.000people who try and erase history and try and teach our children otherwise.
00:38:12.000We need to speak truth about the generational impact of our history in terms of the generational impact of slavery, the generational impact of redlining, of Jim Crow law.
00:38:48.000It's like the creative marionette of Kamala Harris and it's controlled by the Democratic Party and just kind of moves all a little bit like she's wild.
00:39:04.000First, our 47% off deal for New Daily Wear Plus memberships ends today.
00:39:08.000With the most crucial election of our lifetime just 47 days away, you cannot afford to miss this.
00:39:12.000The mainstream media's silence on the unprecedented second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump proves why you need the truth now more than ever.

00:39:26.000We give you the facts America desperately needs and deserves, so don't miss out on the truth.

00:39:42.000Okay, meanwhile, so with this race unbelievably tight, and with the second attempted assassination against Donald Trump, the left is in a bit of a pickle.
00:39:49.000Because the reality is that Kamala has hit her high watermark.
00:39:52.000What's she going to do from here on in?
00:39:53.000Now, there are not that many undecided people left in this electorate.
00:39:57.000Harry Anthon of CNN was pointing this out yesterday.
00:39:59.000He was suggesting the number of people who are now currently undecided is lower than at any time in the late stages of any election that we know of.
00:40:08.0004% of voters say that they are undecided.
00:40:10.000That is just half the level that we saw in 2020, well less than the 10% we saw at this point in 2016.
00:40:16.000So the bottom line is, in this particular election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are focusing their attention on this tiny, tiny sliver, much lower than we're used to.
00:40:26.000In fact, it's the lowest level of undecideds that we've seen in polling at this point this entire 21st century.
00:40:34.000Okay, so there isn't that much of the electorate left to move, which suggests that both sides really need to be working on their get-out-the-vote operation.
00:40:39.000But when it comes to the attempted assassination of President Trump, this obviously might be a good time for a bit of self-reflection on the part of the left, which has declared that Trump is, in fact, Orange Hitler.
00:41:20.000Is that the time to start getting involved?
00:41:24.000Okay, so again, they keep going with this sort of rhetoric.
00:41:27.000In fact, Corinne Jean-Pierre was specifically asked by Peter Doocy about all of this yesterday.
00:41:32.000And she then claimed that it was dangerous to even ask the question.
00:41:36.000How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the president and the vice president and you pick a different word to describe Trump other than threat?
00:41:45.000If anything from this administration, I actually completely disagree with the premise of your question, the question that you're asking.
00:41:54.000It is also incredibly dangerous in the way that you're asking it, because American people are watching.
00:42:05.000How dare you ask a question about the kind of rhetoric that we use that may in fact generate crazy people to do crazy things.
00:42:11.000Again, it is not your fault if you don't call for violence and somebody takes your words and twists them and use them for violence.
00:42:17.000However, raising the temperature does have some predictable side effects, obviously.
00:42:22.000And now, the reason that the left won't let go of this particular argument is because they want to keep making it.
00:42:26.000They want to keep making the argument over and over to their base that Donald Trump is an actual abject threat to the Republic of the United States and that he is evil and terrible.
00:42:34.000And so they focused in on, as like tip of the spear of the evil Trumpian threat, what's going on in Springfield, Ohio.
00:42:40.000So Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, he says that one of the big issues in the country right now is that Springfield, Ohio feels threatened.
00:42:49.000My colleagues in the department have been in touch with the mayor of Springfield.
00:42:53.000We're concerned about the situation there.
00:43:13.000The pitch is that Donald Trump is uniquely evil because he said something about eating the dogs and the cats in Springfield.
00:43:19.000And Kamala Harris retailed this argument, again, at the National Association of Black Journalists.
00:43:23.000She says that what she's fighting for, she's actually asked about the assassination attempt on Trump.
00:43:27.000And she immediately swivels it into the threat to safety, not against Trump, but against the people of Springfield, Ohio, despite the fact that every bomb threat called in has been a hoax, according to the governor, Mike DeWine.
00:43:38.000And many of those bomb threats have been called in from overseas, apparently.
00:43:42.000Do you have full confidence in the Secret Service to protect all of you?
00:44:38.000So Donald Trump, they tried to assassinate him.
00:44:40.000When I say they, I mean specific assassins, tried to assassinate him twice inside of two months.
00:44:44.000And her response is, the real threat is not to Trump's safety, because that would mean I might have to tone down what I'm saying.
00:44:49.000The real threat is to the residents of Springfield, Ohio, because Trump said something about, they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs.
00:44:56.000They don't have Secret Service protection, says Kamala Harris.
00:45:36.000If you're constantly carrying a credit card balance with an interest rate in the 20s, American Financing can show you how to put your hard-earned equity to work while helping you escape the debt trap that can destroy your life.
00:45:46.000Their salary-based mortgage consultants are saving their customers an average of $800 a month.
00:45:50.000If you get started today, you might not have to make next month's mortgage payment.
00:46:31.000There's been a lot of talk, a lot of conflicting reports about what's going on on the ground.
00:46:35.000It's been pretty much centered on the kind of outlandish accusation that there's mass eating of cats and dogs or kidnapping of pets or something.
00:46:42.000There have been some allegations, I understand, from people in Springfield that are unverified and unverifiable, I think, at this point, as to whether that was actually happening or not.
00:46:50.000But what is the actual situation in Springfield that requires attention?
00:46:54.000Well, from every resident that I spoke to in Springfield, Ohio, they certainly do feel that there is a threat to their culture, to their way of life, to their social services.
00:47:03.000This is an all-American town of about 57,000 people, and the estimate right now is anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 Haitians have been resettled in their community in just the last couple of years under the Biden-Harris administration.
00:47:16.000So they're certainly feeling the effects, they're seeing the effects on their social services, and they're also feeling the effects on their physical safety.
00:47:23.000There was one woman who spoke at a city council meeting, and she said that she has been followed, she has been groped, and now that she, now she rarely leaves the house without being armed and carrying a dog with her, a pit bull, for protection.
00:48:18.000So you've got people there who are experiencing the effects of this, experiencing the effects of this mass immigration under the Biden-Harris administration.
00:48:25.000And I think important context is that this is a community that voted for Trump overwhelmingly in 2016.
00:48:31.000They voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2020.
00:48:33.000They did not vote for mass immigration.
00:48:35.000They weren't asked if they wanted 20,000 people from Haiti to be resettled in their communities.
00:49:09.000Yeah, and they take food away from people like me that really need it.
00:49:15.000So these residents are very grateful that there is increased media coverage on this issue.
00:49:20.000And what so many of them tell me is that they don't know why Springfield, Ohio has become the resettlement ground for these Haitian migrants.
00:49:31.000And the fact that we're seeing it here in Springfield and hearing from these residents gives a bit of a preview of what more mass immigration under this administration might look like.
00:49:42.000Well, Spencer, I mean, obviously the big question that everybody is asking is about the accusation with regard to the cats and the dogs.
00:49:48.000You're pointing out much bigger issues in Springfield, Ohio.
00:49:51.000I mean, I have to ask, did any of the residents express any concerns about their pets?
00:49:56.000You know, I did hear people speak about potential geese and ducks that had gone missing.
00:50:02.000There have been reports that have come out saying that there were police reports of, of Haitian migrants taking geese and ducks from the park.
00:50:10.000There was also a pig carcass that was actually found in public view.
00:50:13.000You know, of course, these are things that are very tricky to verify, but we do know that there have been police reports.
00:50:19.000And that this is a concern among the residents, but across the board, those that I spoke to said that really they're grateful that there is more coverage on this area because they're experiencing these issues when it comes to just the surge in population, the issues that you'd expect to find when a town of 57,000 people is forced to take in 15,000 to 20,000 people overnight and the strain that it puts on their public safety and on their social services.
00:50:43.000So the residents of Springfield are concerned.
00:50:46.000For their well-being, and they're grateful there's more coverage and more attention on their town.
00:50:52.000Well, Spencer, really appreciate you going over there and reporting on this.
00:50:59.000Okay, well, meanwhile, again, the goal here for the Biden-Harris administration, for the Harris campaign in particular, is to pretend that the issue doesn't exist by focusing in on the shiny object over here.
00:51:10.000Presumably, the goal of the Trump campaign was to provide the shiny object to get people to sort of ingest the bigger issue, and that is having an impact.
00:51:17.000The immigration issue is, in fact, turning toward President Trump.
00:51:59.000So if you look at the no-toss-up map right now from RealClearPolitics, very, very slight advantage for Trump fans.
00:52:07.000Anybody who tells you that the debate ended the campaign is missing the fact that there is so much embedded opinion about these candidates, and that means tiny margins are going to matter.
00:52:15.000It also means get-out-the-vote is going to matter.
