The President of the United States orders a Venezuelan drug cartel ship blown out of the water. Plus, Zaramdani finally receives that magical Bill de Blasio endorsement that he has been desperately waiting for, and the UK is arresting people for bad tweets.
00:00:00.000Alrighty, folks, the president of the United States orders a Venezuelan drug cartel ship blown out of the water.
00:00:05.000Plus, Zar Mamdani finally receives that magical Bill de Blasio endorsement that he has been desperately waiting for, and the UK is arresting people for bad tweets.
00:00:13.000First, as you know, this year we are celebrating a decade of the Daily Wire, not by looking back, but by launching what's next.
00:00:18.000First up, Monday, for the first time in years, we are bringing in brand new Daily Wire talent with the premiere of the Isabel Brown show.
00:00:24.000Then next Wednesday night, the main event, Friendly Fire, all of us getting together to do what friends do.
00:00:47.000Well, folks, President Trump announced yesterday that the United States carried out a strike in the Southern Caribbean against a drug carrying vessel that departed from Venezuela.
00:00:56.000He didn't offer a lot of details on all of this, but we know that the President has been very strong on the idea that Venezuela should not be exporting either illegal immigrants or drugs to American shores.
00:01:05.000He does have authority under the Constitution of the United States to take immediate action on threats to national security and enter international maritime law.
00:01:15.000Drug boats that are essentially in international waters not flying, say a Venezuelan government flag, can in fact be confronted by American military forces and, if necessary, can be struck.
00:01:27.000When you come out and when you leave the room, you'll see that we just over the last few minutes literally shot out a.
00:01:37.000A boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat.
00:01:41.000And you'll be seeing that and you'll be reading about that.
00:01:44.000It just happened moments ago and uh our great general, head of the joint chiefs of staff, who's been so uh incredible, including what took place in Iran, knocking out uh potential nuclear power for long time to come.
00:02:03.000I think within a month they would have had it if we didn't do what we did.
00:02:06.000Uh but uh he gave us a little bit of a uh briefing.
00:02:11.000And there's more where that came from.
00:02:13.000Uh we have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time.
00:02:18.000And we just uh these came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela.
00:02:23.000A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela, so uh we took it out, and you'll get to see that after this uh after this meeting is over.
00:02:32.000The president said the military had shot out the boat moments ago.
00:02:35.000He said his team had been briefed on the strike by General Dan Raisin Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and then Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State among other jobs, said the military carried out a lethal strike in the Southern Caribbean Sea.
00:02:47.000Again, pointing out that this was a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.
00:03:04.000The strike, according to CBS News, came after the United States confirmed last month that the Navy would boost its presence near Venezuela, deploying three warships to the waters off the South American country as part of an anti-drug cartel mission.
00:03:16.000The Venezuelan president, who is in fact a dictator, Nicolas Maduro called the ships an extravagant, unjustifiable, immoral, and absolutely criminal and bloody threat, and then deployed military forces to the country's coastline, suggesting the United States was about to launch a full-scale invasion of Venezuela.
00:03:30.000That of course is untrue, as far as we know.
00:03:33.000What we do know is that the Trump administration is not going to sit back and wait while a vast influx of drugs continues across our border.
00:03:40.000The president came into office suggesting that he was going to end the fentanyl epidemic in the United States.
00:03:44.000One of the chief ways that he did that was preventing the importation of drugs across our southern border, preventing Venezuelan drug cartel ships from landing on American shores by stopping them in international waters or blowing them up.
00:03:57.000That of course actually is quite good policy, so good on the president of the United States for all of that.
00:04:02.000Meanwhile, the UK continues to absolutely melt down.
00:04:06.000So thank God we fought a revolution in this country, so that we were not ruled by the idiot rules of the modern UK.
00:04:13.000Graham Line is a comedian and comedy writer, and apparently he was just arrested in the UK for tweets.
00:04:21.000And this unfortunately is not uncommon in the UK at this point.
00:04:25.000If you flash back just a couple of weeks, according to the New York Post, the UK is now engaged in a free speech crackdown that was seeing up to thirty people a day arrested for petty offenses like retweets and cartoons.
00:04:39.000According to the New York Post, Bernadette Spaforth lay in jail on a blue gym mattress in a daze, finding it difficult to move, even breathe.
00:04:45.000She remembers noticing you can't drown yourself in the toilet because there's no standing water in it, and the flesh button is too far to reach if your head were in the bowl.
00:04:52.000She'd end up being detained for 36 hours in July 2024.
00:04:55.000Three girls had just been murdered in Southport, England at a Taylor Swift themed dance party, but Spotforth was not under suspicion for the crime, according to the New York Post.
00:05:03.000Instead, she had reposted on X and other users' content, blaming newly arrived migrants for the ghastly crime, and even clarified in her retweet if this is true.
00:05:12.000Hours later, she realized that that post was bad information.
00:05:16.000Too late, it was seen thousands of times.
00:05:18.000Four police vehicles arrived at her home days later.
00:05:21.000She's a successful businesswoman from Chester and was placed immediately under arrest.
00:05:25.000Apparently, according to the New York Post, her stories, one repeated almost hourly in the UK, where data suggests over 30 people a day are arrested for speech crimes, about 12,000 a year, under laws written well before the age of social media to make crimes of sending grossly offensive messages or sharing content of an indecent,
00:05:42.000obscene, or menacing character, presumably that was meant to stop people from mailing to each other things that were indecent or threatening, and now the UK is using that as a way of cracking down on people it disagrees with, which is insane.
00:05:58.000Apparently, according to his substack, quote, something odd happened before I even aborted the flight in Arizona.
00:06:04.000When I handed over my passport at the gate, the official told me I didn't have a seat and had to be reticketed.
00:06:08.000At the time, I thought it was just the sort of innocent snafu that makes air travel such a joy, but in hindsight, it was clear I'd been flagged.
00:06:14.000Somewhere, someone, probably wearing unconvincing makeup, and his sister's wife's mom's underwear had made a phone call.
00:06:20.000The moment I stepped off the plane in Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting.
00:06:27.000They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets.
00:06:31.000In a country where pedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak.
00:06:38.000The state had mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet.
00:06:42.000And here's what the tweet said, quote, if a trans identified male is in a female only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act.
00:06:55.000He was also arrested, apparently, for another tweet in which there was some sort of a gigantic trans protest or mid-sized trans protest in London.
00:07:22.000Don't tell me you've been sent by trans activists.
00:07:24.000The officers gave no reaction, and this was the theme throughout most of the day.
00:07:27.000Among the rank and file, there was a sort of polite bafflement, entirely professional and even kind, but most had absolutely no idea what any of this was about.
00:07:34.000Kind, because the officers saw how upset I was.
00:07:37.000When they began reading me my rights, the red mist ascended, I came close to becoming one of those police body cam videos where you can't believe the perp isn't just doing what he's told.
00:07:43.000And they treated me gently after that.
00:07:45.000They arranged for a van to meet on the tarmac so I didn't have to be perp walked through the airport like a terrorist.
00:07:51.000So his belt bag devices were confiscated.
00:07:54.000He was thrown into a small green-tiled cell with a bunk, a silver toilet, and a message from crime stoppers on the ceiling next to a concave mirror that was presumably there to make you reflect on your life choices.
00:08:05.000Apparently, during his interview, the officer conducting it asked about each of the terrible tweets in turn, with a sort of earnest intensity usually reserved for discussing something serious, like I don't know, crime.
00:08:15.000I explained the punch tweet was making it was a serious point made with the joke.
00:08:18.000Men who enter women's faces are abusers, and they need to be challenged every time.
00:08:22.000The punch in the bollocks bit was about the height difference between men and women, the bollocks being closer to punch level for a woman defending her rights and certainly not a call to violence.
00:08:59.000Apparently, he believes that the person who referred him to the cops was a Lindsay Watson, who he calls a demented ex copper truon who was fired for his online conduct.
00:09:11.000Watson is also involved in another case on Thursday and Friday at London Westminster magistrates court that trans activists are planning to protest.
00:09:17.000So, welcome to England, the birthplace of Magna Carta, where, again, tearing down the institutions that make a functional society.
00:09:31.000And it's not just that these folks in the UK are interested in tearing away free speech and saying that you're not allowed to tweet a bad thing, that bad tweets might land you in jail.
00:09:41.000They are importing people from parts of the planet who hate all of those centralizing Western principles like free speech.
00:09:49.000despise them when i talk in lines and scavengers about the coalition of scavengers about the idea that you have barbarians you know the people from outside who hate our civilization and they join forces with the lecturers inside our civilization who believe that they are marginalized by our traditional institutions and values and they make common clause together that's the uk in a nutshell
00:10:11.000Because it is no coincidence that just yesterday, the home secretary of the UK, Yvette Cooper, said that the UK is going to take in refugees from Gaza.
00:10:20.000So congrats to the people of Great Britain.
00:10:23.000They don't just have to contend with the insanity inside their borders.
00:10:26.000They are going to be importing people who almost certainly do not share their values.
00:10:31.000Out of some sort of misplaced sympathy, I suppose, because there are plenty of other countries on planet Earth that are more akin ideologically and culturally to the people of Gaza.
00:10:41.000But apparently not according to the wonderful folks in the UK.
00:10:45.000I can't imagine why Nigel Farage's party is doing so well over in the UK.
00:10:48.000Here's Home Secretary Yvette Cooper just yesterday.
00:10:50.000The Home Office has put in place systems to issue expedited visas with biometric checks conducted prior to arrival for children and their immediate accompanying family members.
00:11:04.000And we have done the same for all the cheating scholars and are in the process of doing so now for the next group of students from Gaza who have been awarded fully funded scholarships and places at UK universities so they can start their studies in autumn this year.
00:11:25.000So that means somebody else is paying the bill.
00:11:26.000Cooper said that the government would be opening a broader scheme for refugee students to quote come and study in the UK so we can help more talented young people fleeing war and persecution to find a better future alongside captain managed ways for refugees to work here in the UK.
00:11:40.000So once again, congrats to the people of the UK who are now going to be forced to accept, presumably thousands of people from Gaza, one of the most radical places on planet Earth.
00:11:50.000Already coming up more on the UK arresting people for bad tweets.
00:11:54.000Also, Zoramamdani endorsed by another terrible New York mayor, Bill De Blasio on Much More.
00:11:58.000First, your online activity is in private data brokers.
00:12:17.000ExpressVPN roots all my online activity through secure, encrypted servers, making it impossible for my internet provider to see what I'm doing online.
00:12:24.000That means you can browse without feeling like somebody's watching over your shoulder all the time.
00:12:28.000It also hides your IP address, the unique number that identifies you online and allows data brokers to build and sell profiles about you without access to your IP or activity data.
00:12:36.000These companies have nothing to work with.
00:12:38.000You know, again, I'm traveling a lot right now.
00:13:24.000We're talking about 47 real ingredients mango, wild blueberries, finish, kale, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, the whole works.
00:13:30.000Plus, their fiber and spice blend is also unique.
00:13:32.000It combines four whole fibers like psyllium husk and flaxseed with 12 aromatic spices, including turmeric and cinnamon.
00:13:38.000You won't find another supplement that does this stuff.
00:13:40.000I also appreciate there are no artificial additives, no added sugars, just clean ingredients, vegan kosher certified by the OU, gluten free.
00:13:46.000You can even mix the powder into smoothies or sprinkle it over your food.
00:14:07.000That's balance of nature.com, promo code Shapiro.
00:14:10.000Shortly after Cooper spoke, the foreign secretary David Lamy said that these Gazans would arrive in the UK in the coming weeks.
00:14:19.000There's been some opposition within Westminster to the move to take in refugees from Gaza.
00:14:23.000Conservative Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Genrik expressed apprehension at the idea of resettling Palestinians in the UK.
00:14:29.000He wrote in the telegraph quote, the truth is that Gaza's Arab neighbors are prepared to offer humanitarian support, but consider the idea of inviting Gazans into the country at any scale a risk only a fool would take, which of course is true.
00:14:40.000Egypt is accepting zero people from Gaza, but Britain is accepting thousands from Gaza.
00:14:45.000A strange move, a very, very strange move by the UK.
00:14:48.000Except this is a misapplied sense of guilt directed at the third world by the labor party in the UK, a belief that in the oppressor-oppressed matrix, the UK is an oppressor, Israel is an oppressor, the people of Gaza are the oppressed, and therefore the people of the UK must accept into the place where they live people who believe that Western civilization is in and of itself wrong and terrible.
00:15:14.000Cooper, by the way, also made more announcements about the UK's border and asylum policy.
00:15:22.000That included loosening some of the restrictions on immigration.
00:15:26.000Now, we should point out at this point here that Qatar, which is, of course, essentially Hamas with nicer suits, that Qatar sponsors an enormous amount of business in the UK, like truly an incredible amount of business in the UK.
00:15:42.000There's a columnist named Dr. Naftali Hirsch, who points out exactly how much Qatar owns in the UK.
00:15:52.000I mean, it's a country of 400,000 citizens.
00:15:55.000And they spend their money like water over there.
00:15:58.000A non-exhaustive list of the companies that Qatar, primarily through its Qatar Investment Authority, owns giant chunks of, include in the UK, Barclays, the London Stock Exchange, Heathrow Airport, Herod's, the Canary Wharf Group, Rolls-Royce, and the International Airlines Group.
00:16:14.000That includes British Airways, Iberia, Viewing, and Erlingus.
00:16:19.000So if you ever wonder why it is that Europe is so warm, why so many people in the upper echelons of Europe seem so warm toward importing people who truly hate their civilization, part of the answer is money.
00:16:39.000According to the New York Post, Hamas backing Qatar has bankrolled film and stage projects by socialist Zorn Mamdani's Israel-bashing movie director mom.
00:16:48.000And one of its royals is now pushing her son's mayoral bid, according to the New York Post.
00:16:52.000Shecha Al-Mayasa bind Khaman Althani, sister to the ruling Emir, and the state-funded cultural institutions she controls, have supported Mira Naiir and her creative projects since at least 2009.
00:17:06.000Even extending a personal invitation to participate in the cultural program the country organized as part of the festivities around hosting the 2022 World Cup.
00:17:14.000Since mid-June, Sheikha Alfani has taken to promoting Mamdani's mayoral candidacy on social media, boosting news of favorable polling on Instagram, and posting fire emojis under a TikTok video of him embracing Nair.
00:17:27.000Daniel Pletka, foreign policy expert at the American Enterprise Institute says, quote, they're buying somebody who's willing to be bought, and in a time of their choosing, they will ask for what they want.
00:17:35.000They need a rainbow coalition of people who will support the ideology they promote.
00:17:38.000Sometimes it will be Islamism, sometimes it will be anti-Semitism, sometimes it will just be anti-Israel.
00:17:44.000According to the New York Post, there are extensive ties between Zorn Mamdani's mama and the Qatari elite.
00:17:51.000Including from 2010 until 2014, the Doha Film Institute, founded by Sheikha Alfani, underwrote a boot camp to train Qatari students In screenwriting and filmmaking at Nair's MySha Film Labs in East Africa and in Doha.
00:18:04.000The Doha Film Institute paid the entire $15 million budget of Nair's 2012 film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, one of the first movies it produced.
00:18:13.000That flick is all about how America was mean to a Pakistani immigrant suffering mistreatment after 9-11.
00:18:21.000So we're talking about like millions of dollars funded from Qatar to the Mamdani Mama.
00:18:28.000And then it turns out they are promoting Zor Mamdani also via social media.
00:18:46.000That coalition of scavengers at rides high, radical Islamists, trans advocates, Marxists, all willing to join together to fight the civilization they believe is the problem.
00:18:58.000Speaking of that New York mayoral race, I'm in New York right now, I gotta say.
00:19:12.000Czar Mamdani, just yesterday, suggested he was going to freeze rent for 250,000 rent-controlled units.
00:19:18.000I can't imagine how that's going to lead to housing shortages.
00:19:21.000Spoiler alert, it leads to housing shortages.
00:19:26.000As your next mayor of this city, I will freeze the rent for more than 250,000 rent stabilized apartments.
00:19:36.000Well, I mean, good luck to uh all the developers in New York City.
00:19:40.000And I know developers, people who are looking to buy space in New York because obviously, lots of commerce here, lots of people working here.
00:19:46.000But virtually all of them have now added closing conditions based on Mamdani's possible mayoralty.
00:19:53.000People who are thinking about pulling out of, we're talking like large multimillion dollar deals because they are afraid that Mamdani is simply going to come in and bootstomp any free market with regard to real estate.
00:20:05.000Meanwhile, you know you're in good hands when Bill de Blasio, the recent worst mayor in the history of New York, endorses Zoran Mamdani.
00:20:13.000Yesterday, he claimed in a New York Daily News op-ed, quote, we don't just need Zoran Mamdani to be our mayor because he has the right ideas or because they can be achieved.
00:20:21.000We need him because in his heart and in his bones, he cannot accept a city that prices out the people who built it and keep it running.
00:20:27.000One of my favorite things about the left is that they never have to actually argue for why their policies might be effective.
00:20:32.000They simply say, well, you know, his heart is in the right place.
00:20:35.000We need him because in his heart and in his bones, he cannot accept a city that prices people out.
00:20:40.000Well, I mean, if he feels bad about rent, then that means he probably should be mayor.
00:20:43.000Just like that homeless guy that I spotted coming in here.
00:20:46.000He also seemed pissed about rent, so probably he should be mayor.
00:20:48.000The ex-mayor, who served two terms from 2014 to 2021, demonstrating full scale the idiocy of many New Yorkers, insisted that Mamdani's promise for affordability, including rent freezes, free childcare, and free city buses, was the reason he cinched the June Democratic primary.
00:21:04.000He wrote, quote, yet, though many New Yorkers agree with him, many others are skeptical, so others have lost faith in the city government's ability to not only talk but deliver.
00:21:11.000They want to know one fundamental truth.
00:22:10.000He says, okay, let's have the government come in and set up some grocery stores where the private sector is not putting in grocery stores and help get people quality food at a reasonable price.
00:23:21.000Because, you know, it's not as though the New York City buses are smelly and terrible enough with people actually paying for some level of upkeep.
00:23:27.000If you get rid of the upkeep, probably it'll be even better, even freer, even more awesome.
00:23:32.000If you like the BO on New York buses, get ready for like 10 times that.
00:23:39.000Free buses has been proven to work in many parts of the country.
00:23:43.000Where it's I'll get to a list of cities, but the bottom line is it is something that allows people to one, reduce their costs, which people are overwhelmed by to get into mass transit more.
00:23:55.000It works because we know that if people are given a quality alternative they could afford, they'll use it.
00:24:03.000Um, well, actually, they I mean the question is not whether they will use the free buses.
00:24:08.000The question is who will pay for the free buses and why won't they just wreck the free buses?
00:24:14.000If only this had been tried somewhere before.
00:24:16.000It was, it was tried in Kansas City, which apparently is like the testing ground.
00:24:19.000Basically, it seems like the relationship between Kansas City and New York is sort of like the baseball relationship between Kansas City and New York back in the late 1950s, early 1960s, where essentially the Kansas City Athletics, the A's used to be in Kansas City, were a farm team for the New York Yankees.
00:24:33.000They would cultivate a player, like for example, Roger Maris, and then they would trade him for beans to the New York Yankees.
00:24:40.000It seems like that's kind of what happens in Kansas City.
00:24:42.000It looks like they they workshop all the bad ideas and then they come to New York.
00:24:45.000According to the New York Post, Kansas City's $50 million experiment with free bus fare is hitting the brakes because the city can't afford it.
00:24:51.000The Midwest City used federal COVID-19 relief money in 2020 to become the first in the country to institute free buses.
00:24:59.000Riders and conductors slammed the buses as unreliable, filthy, rolling homeless shelters.
00:25:03.000Something critics say could easily happen in Gotham.
00:25:06.000Ken Gerardin, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said if you go from charging a fair to not charging a fair, ridership goes up, you end up with degradation of the service.
00:25:24.000Especially because it'll all be part of the resistance, right?
00:25:27.000That's the thing that matters, is it's the resistance.
00:25:29.000So Letitia James, most famous for getting a ridiculous fraud conviction against President Trump in civil court, and then getting the penalty knocked all the way down.
00:25:39.000Letitia James, who's made a mess of her career at this point, well, she's out there also enduring, endorsing Zoran Mom Donnie.
00:25:46.000Exciting, exciting stuff from Letitia James.
00:25:49.000He got his political career starting here.
00:26:58.000And if somebody knows something about Victory, it's Letitia James, who once thought of being governor and then was actually just a terrible AJ.
00:27:04.000Here's saying victory will be R. Sounding like a movie villain here.
00:28:08.000They've created an amazing chewable vitamin that kids actually love.
00:28:11.000The best part zero sugar, still totally delicious.
00:28:13.000Even the pickiest eaters would approve.
00:28:15.000They've packed in 12 organic fruits and veggies plus 15 essential vitamins and minerals.
00:28:19.000It's non-GMO, vegan, allergen-free, thoroughly tested for safety, which means you and I can both feel confident giving our kids vitamins made to this high quality standard.
00:28:27.000Are you tired of battling with your kids to eat their greens?
00:28:29.000Haya now has kids at Daily Greens plus Superfoods, a chocolate-flavored greens powder designed specifically for kids, packed with more than 55 whole food ingredients to support brain power, development, and digestion.
00:28:39.000Just scoop, shake, sip with milk or any non-dairy beverage for a delicious and nutritious booths your kids are actually going to enjoy.
00:28:45.000They even send stickers with your first order so your kids can decorate the bottle and make it.
00:30:44.000But if he goes, you know, not in the headlines for a couple of days, doesn't mean he's dead.
00:30:48.000I also understand the Democrats are desperately attempting to now replay every Republican hit in reverse.
00:30:54.000So if Republicans have a very provocative presidential candidate who trolls people online, then Gavin Newsom just does the same thing, but in reverse.
00:31:03.000If the Democrats run a dead person and Republicans point that out, and then the Republicans win, now Democrats are gonna try and claim the president Trump is in fact dead.
00:31:12.000Well, rumors of President Trump's death were greatly exaggerated over the weekend.
00:31:16.000And that led to this exchange between Peter Ducey of Fox News and the president of the United States on the subject.
00:31:22.000Something completely different, but about a big viral social media trend over the weekend.
00:31:27.000How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?
00:32:07.000Now you knew I did an interview that lasted for about an hour and a half with somebody, and everybody saw that was on one of your competitors.
00:32:15.000Uh I did numerous uh shows and uh also did a number of truths, long truths, I think pretty poignant truths.
00:32:23.000No, I was very active over the weekend.
00:32:38.000So Tim Walls, again, that guy, it's amazing that he became for a moment a national name because a weirder person I have yet to find in American politics.
00:33:07.000You get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things, and although I will say this, the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news.
00:33:23.000And then, of course, you have the performative oppositionality of people like Jasmine Crockett, the Texas Congresswoman.
00:33:29.000I will admit that I'm enjoying Jasmine Crockett's changes of dialect almost as much as I enjoyed the tour through dialect that we got from Hillary Clinton.
00:33:37.000You remember Hillary Clinton had like a bunch of different accents that you would just randomly unleash.
00:33:41.000Well, I just want to show you a flashback.
00:33:42.000This is Jasmine Crockett before she was in Congress and what she talked like, because you really have to know that in order to understand what she is doing now.
00:33:51.000First of all, it's good to see you in the new year.
00:33:54.000You know, um, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now looks like a little bit over a year ago, that I would be running for Congress.
00:34:07.000I mean, she sounds like you know, like a normal human.
00:34:09.000Um, you know, who speaks as though she went to uh she went to college.
00:34:13.000And um, and then she just switches code switches in into this.
00:34:19.000Man, because these people, they are crazy because they always talk about how Christian they is.
00:34:23.000Yeah, I don't know how many of them on their side are getting divorced because they're getting caught up, sleeping with their co-workers, staffers, interns, all the things.
00:34:40.000I'm like, whoa, that's gotta be true, because your lawyer would know that they're gonna lose it if they um I feel like I feel like Beaver Cleaver's mother is going to show up in a moment and explain that she speaks jive.
00:34:58.000Like this is this is something directly out of airplane.
00:35:01.000Like that that wild switch in dialect is crazy.
00:35:05.000And that, again, has nothing to do with race.
00:35:07.000Because if a white person did that, like Hillary Clinton, it would also be crazy.
00:35:34.000Because of course, if you listen to her, you realize America is deeply unfair, terrible, racist, exploitative, and yet somehow she may be worth up to 30 million dollars.
00:35:46.000I didn't realize that an informal ISIS recruiter paid that much.
00:35:48.000Anyway, Ilhan Omar reported a net worth of up to 30 million dollars in her latest financial disclosure, a document filed just months after she dismissed claims she was a millionaire as ridiculous and categorically false.
00:36:00.000The disclosure filed in May shows the far-left squad lawmaker and her husband, Tim Minette, experienced a roughly 3,500 percent increase in net worth last year compared to 2023.
00:36:11.000Well, I mean, I suppose that uh marrying not your brother has some benefits.
00:36:15.000The surge in the couple's wealth was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon on Monday.
00:36:20.000The financial gains came from my net two businesses, a Santa Rosa California-based winery and a venture capital firm headquartered in Washington, DC.
00:36:27.000Seems like somebody's benefiting off some American-style free market exploitation.
00:36:34.000Apparently, my net's adventure capital firm, Roselake Capital LLC.
00:36:38.000Its assets were valued at between five million and twenty-five million by the end of 2024.
00:36:43.000Roseley Capital claims to have sixty billion dollars in assets under management, according to the company's website.
00:36:49.000So, yeah, that that seems like a person who's benefited, you know, an awful lot from living in the United States and yet still thinks the United States sucks.
00:36:56.000Because again, our country is filled with terrible people who have come from abroad and then have decided that they're going to crap on the place that has made them free and prosperous and fight against all the systems that did precisely that.
00:37:25.000You can visit BaoMovie.com to see the trailers.
00:37:28.000Bell, artist at war, tells the remarkable true story of Joseph Bao, a gifted artist and forger who risked his life to save others during the Holocaust.
00:37:35.000There, he found not only the strength to survive, but unexpected love with Rebecca.
00:37:38.000A gripping story of survival, love, and courage.
00:38:30.000So I don't know when she decided to become either Lord Farquad from Shrek, torturing the gingerbread man, or when she decided to just take He-Man's hair and plunk it on her head.
00:38:44.000It was she's made a lot of bad decisions recently.
00:38:47.000And listen, I'm just happy that Greta Thunberg is now over the age of 18, so I can make fun of her.
00:38:52.000The rules are that if you have a complete dullard, a person who is posted by the left as the voice of a generation, but they're under 18, and then you mock them.
00:39:33.000So it turns out she couldn't stop global warming, so now she's going to take a bunch of diesel-powered boats and try to float her way to Gaza for the second time.
00:39:39.000You'll remember the first time she was stopped and handed a sandwich, and then claimed that she had been kidnapped.
00:39:58.000But Greta Thunberg, this is this is her.
00:40:01.000Not all that long ago complaining about her cruel fate.
00:40:06.000My name is Gita Timbe, and I am from Sweden.
00:40:09.000If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces or forces that support Israel.
00:40:19.000I urge all my friends, family, and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible.
00:40:31.000Yeah, because that's usually what happens for those who are who are kidnapped is that you cut a clip on your own phone and then you post it to social media immediately.
00:40:40.000That's typically what happened by the way, the gall of her to claim that she was kidnapped while there are still hostages being starved to death by the people she sympathizes with Hamas.
00:40:53.000Here she was not all that long ago, not that many years ago, ripping soccer players and celebrities getting attention when she is legitimately one of the great um attention.
00:41:03.000There's a word here that I'm not going to use of all time.
00:41:07.000Where celebrities, film and pop stars who have stood up against all injustices, will not stand up for the environment and for climate justice, because that would inflict on their right to fly around the world visiting their favorite restaurants, beaches, and yoga retreats.
00:41:28.000Well, the good news is that now she's on the boat again.
00:41:30.000So she got on a boat a couple of days ago, and then the winds turned it around.
00:41:34.000And uh, and so now she has gotten on the diesel power boats again.
00:41:38.000And the reason I point her out is because she is so indicative of this entire generation, an entire generation of young morons in the West.
00:41:46.000Here's something I write about this in my book Lions and Scavengers.
00:41:50.000Quote, scavengers are plentiful among those for whom life is too easy.
00:41:53.000It is one of the great ironies of history that revolutionaries are typically drawn not from the ranks of the abject poor, but the idle bourgeois.
00:42:00.000The poor are those who need not struggle for their daily bread, who are not dedicated to the demands of family, who are disengaged from the larger community.
00:42:07.000They seek a feeling of meaning that can be found in either building or tearing down, and finding themselves incapable of building, they choose the latter option.
00:42:14.000University students are all too often the seedbed for revolution for precisely this reason.
00:42:19.000They are often supported by their parents, and they have intellectual pretensions of their own.
00:42:23.000And that is Greta Thunberg in a nutshell.
00:42:25.000It is also why younger Americans, by like a 60-40 margin, now say that they support Hamas, because this is what we are raising here in the West, a bunch of spoiled brats who have no connection with reality, and so they will vote for Zoran Mamdani and then pretend their own virtue.
00:42:40.000Okay, meanwhile, in other news, the President of the United States announced yesterday that he would in fact be deploying National Guard troops to Chicago.
00:43:24.000The Democrats have decided this is a problem.
00:43:27.000Not only that, apparently, a judge has now decided that President Trump's use of troops in Los Angeles was unlawful.
00:43:34.000According to the Wall Street Journal, a federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration's deployment of troops to LA in response to protests over immigration policies violated a 19th century law prohibiting the use of federal forces for domestic law enforcement.
00:43:46.000So he claimed, Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco, that the administration did not comply with the so-called Posicomitatus Act, which was an 1878 statute that restricts the use of U.S. armed forces on America's streets.
00:43:57.000Now, by the way, the history of the Posse Comitatus Act is actually quite fascinating because it actually had to do with trying to prohibit federal in enforcement of civil rights law in the South.
00:44:06.000The judge wrote there were indeed protests in L.A. and some individuals engaged in violence.
00:44:11.000Yet there was no rebellion, nor was civilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protests and enforce the law.
00:44:16.000White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement, while far left courts try to stop President Trump from carrying out his mandate to make America safe again, the president is committed to protecting law abiding citizens and this will not be the final say on the issue.
00:44:28.000Now, again, there are a couple of different grounds that were claimed by the federal government to send the National Guard troops in the first place.
00:44:39.000The idea being that ICE agents had to be supported, because if they were not, they would be assaulted.
00:44:45.000And there is authority for the president to do that sort of thing.
00:44:48.000The purpose, according to the federal government, wasn't to make arrest, but to quote, demonstrate through a show of presence the capacity and freedom of maneuver of federal law enforcement.
00:44:58.000The demonstrations did turn violent, the president issued an order declaring that protests and violence inhibiting immigration enforcement, quote, constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States and invoked emergency authority to call state National Guard units into federal service.
00:45:14.000So, you know, if this makes it to the Supreme Court, I think it gets reversed pretty clearly.
00:45:20.000But on a political level, this is such a loser for Democrats.
00:45:23.000I mean, it is such a loser for Democrats.
00:45:27.000When Democrats, like, for example, Chicago Alderman, Byron Sidcho Lopez says the real problem in Chicago is not massive numbers of people being shot, but Trump normalizing violence, he got a problem.
00:45:44.000He's trying to normalize military deployment in American cities like uh LA, DC, Chicago, and many others to come.
00:45:52.000But what we have not seen is really a systemic investment that will actually address the core issues.
00:46:00.000Okay, well, again, if you keep saying the problem is Trump's authoritarianism and not, you know, your crime problem, good luck to you politically.
00:46:09.000Now, meanwhile, there's a poll out that I think is quite bad for the country.
00:46:13.000Okay, this is a poll about the state of the economy and what people feel about the economy, and it's kind of fascinating.
00:46:18.000According to the Wall Street Journal, a new Wall Street Journal, NORC poll, finds the share of people who say they have a good chance of improving their standard of living fell to 25%.
00:46:26.000That is a record low in surveys dating to 1987.
00:46:29.000More than three-quarters said they lack confidence that life for the next generation will be better than their own, according to the poll.
00:46:34.000Nearly 70% of people said they believe the American dream that if you work hard, you'll get ahead no longer holds true or never did the highest level in nearly 15 years of surveys.
00:46:43.000By large majorities, both women and men held a pessimistic view in the combined question.
00:46:47.000So did both younger and older adults, those with and without a college degree, and respondents with more than 100,000 dollars in household income, as well as those with less.
00:46:56.000And if you look statistically, when this dropped off, all the way up till about 2017, 60 plus percent of Americans believed that they had a good chance of improving their standard of living.
00:47:10.000And then it fell absolutely off a cliff during the pandemic, which is kind of astonishing because that's when the federal government was fire hosing money at people.
00:47:17.000So if the idea was that fire hosing money at people and generating massive inflation was going to make people feel like they had more income mobility, well, well done, Joe Biden.
00:47:28.000According to the Wall Street Journal, the evidence suggests that Americans are worried about rising prices, that inflation particularly is cooking people.
00:47:38.000Carolyn Bowman, a senior fellow at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, said the public mood probably reflects that Americans have been buffeted by various economic forces for years, among them the financial crisis of 2008, 2009 and the COVID pandemic.
00:47:51.000Now they face inflation, labor market concerns, and tariffs, a triple whammy, she said.
00:48:01.000However, I think that it is important to note here that upward mobility is still really strong in the United States, like much stronger than pretty much anywhere else.
00:48:11.000There's a piece in the Wall Street Journal, early in 2023 by John Early and Phil Graham pointing out the statistics.
00:48:19.000Analysts for the Pew Charitable Trust in 2012 quantified the economic advancement of American families.
00:48:24.000They compared the inflation adjusted income of parents with that of their children some 30 years later.
00:48:28.000Measured by inflation adjusted household income, 93% of children who grew up in the bottom income quintile were better off than their parents.
00:48:36.000Of children in the middle three-fifths, 86% grew up to live in families with higher incomes than their parents.
00:48:42.000Even among those in the top income quintile, 70% were better off.
00:48:46.000Real median family income rose over the 35 years of the study by 89%.
00:48:53.000Also, they point out three independent research efforts have measured relative mobility, the extent to which kids reared in families in one income quintile, stayed in that same income quintile, rose to a higher one or fell to a lower one.
00:49:05.000The first looked at parental income from 1967 to 71, when the kids were under 18, and then 2000 to 2008, when the kids were between 32 and 58.
00:49:14.000Then there was another study by Raj Chetty of Harvard.
00:49:17.000And then there's another study from American Enterprise Institute.
00:49:21.000And so the average shows that a huge percentage, a huge percentage, of people who grew up, for example, in the bottom quintile, ended up not in the bottom quintile over the course of time.
00:49:38.000In fact, for people in the middle three quintiles, less than a quarter remained in their parents' quintile.
00:49:46.000Of children reared in the top quintile, 62% fell to one of the lower quintiles, actually.
00:49:51.000So even if you were born rich, there's a good shot that you were going to fall off.
00:49:55.000Meanwhile, 63% of kids who grew up in the bottom quintile rose to a higher quintile.
00:50:00.000And 6.1% went all the way to the top quintile.
00:50:05.000But again, that actually understates real income mobility in the United States because that's all relative.
00:50:11.000Meaning if the lowest quintile made $20,000, just to pick a number out of a hat in 1990, then today that lowest quintile would be making 45,000.
00:50:27.000So when the income of children is compared with the inflation adjusted income of their parents using real income quintiles of their childhood, rather than the later income quintiles that had already inflated, measured mobility is dramatically greater.
00:50:40.000Only 28% of children reared in the bottom quintile had adult incomes that would put them in the bottom childhood quintile.
00:50:50.000So again, this kind of basic idea that upward mobility in America is dead is wrong.
00:50:54.000Now, inflation does make people feel as though they cannot get ahead.
00:50:57.000It makes you feel like you are spinning your wheels.
00:50:58.000It's one of the big problems with inflation.
00:51:00.000Tariffs make people feel as though they are not sure what's coming next.
00:51:04.000Uncertainty in the economy is its own negative force.
00:51:08.000And the kind of back and forth that's happening where you have positive forces in deregulation and tax cuts, but negative forces in the form of government interventionism and central planning.
00:51:17.000The net impact of that is uncertainty and a feeling of unease.
00:51:22.000And so President Trump is not wrong when he says that the country should be surging ahead.
00:51:28.000But people don't feel like that right now.
00:51:30.000And that unease, when combined with the unease surrounding AI and the impact of AI, what that's going to do to the job market, that's leading people to feel pretty negative.
00:51:47.000Now, as we mentioned, a federal appellate court struck down President Trump's tariffs over the last couple of days on the grounds that they were violative of the emergency powers of the federal government.
00:52:22.000Bond yields rose because of concerns that all that tariff revenue that supposedly was coming in, that'll have to be returned if it turns out that these were illegal levies, essentially.
00:52:32.000President Trump said on Tuesday, if that decision would be lost, it'd be an economic disaster for the United States is that our country will be weak, pathetic, and not rich if the tariffs are reversed.
00:52:42.000I mean, first of all, I think that setting those sorts of expectations is a mistake.
00:52:46.000Because if they're reverse, what are you going to now claim?
00:52:48.000That the economy sucks while you're while you're the president.
00:52:51.000That seems like not a particularly great pitch.
00:52:54.000By the way, the president did, or the White House at least, tweeted out an image suggesting that if the tariffs were reversed, that that would amount to a reversible of $8 trillion in new American investment.
00:53:07.000Um I don't know where that number is coming from.
00:53:09.000I do not know where that number is coming from.
00:53:12.000So again, there are a lot of pledges for people to put money into the American economy.
00:53:18.000Those pledges have not actually materialized as of yet.
00:53:21.000And the idea that tariff revenue is going to heal the American economy, that seems flawed at best.
00:53:29.000The reality is that what has made America the envy of the world economically speaking is in fact property rights.
