00:00:22.000We'll get to all the news in just one moment.
00:00:24.000First, the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index, which catalogs the cost of goods, services, food, and rent, rose 0.4% over the month of August.
00:00:30.000That is double what many economists had anticipated.
00:00:32.000Perhaps worse, core inflation, that's not food, it's not gas prices, saw the highest increase last month it's seen since August of 1982.
00:00:39.000Plus, experts are now saying that the increase of the interest rates from the Federal Reserve may not bring down inflation For literally years.

00:01:36.000Also, As an Orthodox Jew who is just in the Holy Land, staying in Jerusalem, obviously Israel is very important to me.
00:01:43.000This is why I am partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:01:46.000The fellowship was founded 40 years ago by a Jewish rabbi in Chicago to build bridges between Christians and Jews by serving the needs of impoverished elderly Jews, many of whom are Holocaust survivors.
00:01:54.000Today, that organization is the largest humanitarian organization helping the poor not only in Israel, But also throughout the former Soviet Union and especially in Ukraine.
00:02:01.000The Fellowship is doing great work inside Ukraine right now.
00:02:03.000They're providing food for elderly Jews, many of whom have nowhere else to turn as the war continues to intensify as winter closes in, as it drags on.
00:02:10.000During the recent attack on Kiev, bombs landed 600 feet from a vulnerable Jewish community that the Fellowship serves.
00:02:15.000For just $25, you can rush a food box that's packed with highly nutritious food to feed an elderly Jewish person for an entire month.
00:02:20.000And right now, thanks to the special partnership, every $25 donation you give will be matched.
00:02:24.000So you're providing not one, but two food boxes that will literally save Jewish lives in Ukraine.
00:02:27.000To give, head on over to benforthefellowship.org.
00:02:36.000Well, from the very outset of the COVID vaccine movement, there were a couple of rationales that were given for why people should take the COVID vaccines.
00:02:43.000One was, apparently there was robust data on the lowering of the risk of death, particularly if you were old and vulnerable, from baseline COVID.
00:02:52.000If you were young and you were healthy, then the idea that you were going to die from COVID was always a misnomer.
00:02:57.000The chances of you dying from COVID at the age of 30, if you work out four times a week and you eat healthy and you don't have diabetes or something, Well, those chances were always extremely low, but if you were 65 plus and you were obese and you had diabetes, the chances of you dying from COVID were actually fairly high compared to things like the flu.
00:03:11.000And then COVID lowered the rates of death on that.
00:03:14.000So that was one reason to take the COVID vaccine was to protect yourself.
00:03:17.000And that case was fairly strong for a large percentage of the population because we have a lot of elderly people in the United States and we have a lot of fat people in the United States and we have a lot of people with pre-existing conditions in the United States.
00:03:27.000Then there was a secondary case that was made.
00:03:28.000And that case was made largely on the basis of Pfizer claims and Moderna claims that it would lower the transmission rates to take the COVID vaccine.
00:03:35.000And the way to bring an end to the pandemic was get the vaccine so your friends wouldn't get COVID.
00:03:39.000Get the vaccine so your parents wouldn't get COVID.
00:03:42.000And this was promoted very early on by Pfizer and Moderna, like back in November, December of 2020, before Joe Biden even took office.
00:03:50.000And given that that was the data that was being released, that was the data that most of us in the media used, including in conservative media, because that was the available data.
00:03:58.000I suggested that people should get the vaccine back in about December of 2020 for specifically this reason.
00:04:02.000That was the available information at the time.
00:04:04.000Now, there are people who are saying, ignore that information.
00:04:07.000And maybe they turned out to be right, as it turns out.
00:04:10.000Jumping to conclusions based on the absence of data is not the same thing as trying to follow the data until it turns.
00:04:16.000In any case, it is now perfectly clear that we were lied to.
00:04:20.000That we were lied to and we were lied to at a very high level from very, very early on by both the vaccine companies in terms of the Ability of the vaccine to prevent transmission.
00:04:30.000And we were also lied to by our politicians who apparently knew better.
00:04:35.000And this is creating, and you want to know why there's mistrust in the institutions?
00:04:38.000It would be because of this kind of stuff.
00:04:40.000It's because you have experts who are constantly telling the platonic lie to people.
00:04:44.000And people who want to have faith in the experts, because you have to use heuristics when it comes to the world, right?
00:04:49.000You can't study down on every single issue.
00:04:51.000When you go to the doctor, the reason you go to the doctor is because you didn't have time to go to medical school.
00:04:55.000The reason you go to the plumber is because you didn't have time to learn to become a plumber.
00:04:59.000The reason that you go to the mechanic is because you don't know how to take cars.
00:05:01.000You have to rely on the expertise of another human being who has spent an enormous, inordinate amount of time studying an issue.
00:05:07.000And then you have to sort of take that data and use it as best you can.
00:05:09.000Now, it can be that you distrust the data.
00:05:11.000It can be you don't trust the people who are giving you the data, but The big problem here is that when you have an entire institution like the scientific institutions or the government, and the government is issuing laws in order to get you to do a thing, and then it turns out that these things are lies, well, people's distrust in the institution is going to skyrocket, right?
00:05:30.000Again, if you outsource your plumbing to a plumber and the plumber just keeps clogging the lines, at a certain point, you don't use that plumber anymore.
00:05:36.000If you keep taking your car to the mechanic and the mechanic drops the engine out the bottom of the car, you're not going to go to that mechanic ever, ever again.
00:05:42.000Well, the same thing is true when it comes to the lies that we were apparently told about the ability of the vaccines to block transmission.
00:05:48.000So, for example, just a couple of weeks ago, there was a Pfizer executive who was being grilled by members of the ECR, the EU, the European Commission.
00:05:59.000And this Pfizer executive basically said that they never even tested the COVID jab to determine whether it controlled transmission or not.
00:06:07.000This is an astonishing acknowledgement.
00:06:10.000She was asked a question and her name is Janine Small.
00:06:12.000She was Pfizer's President of International Developed Markets.
00:06:15.000She made this admission before the European Union Parliament.
00:06:17.000She was asked by European Union Member of Parliament, Rob Bruce, if the company tested the mRNA vaccine on stopping transmission before they rolled it out.
00:06:59.000These, you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market.
00:07:07.000But you didn't move at the speed of science.
00:07:08.000In fact, it turns out that you were basically lying to the American public and to the global public about the ability of these vaccines to stop transmission, which is an amazing, amazing thing.
00:07:18.000Because again, huge swaths of people were pushing Vax mandates.
00:07:42.000But again, the idea that was promoted, and it makes me really, really angry to be lied to by these people, especially because these people then continue to claim their expertise.
00:07:51.000They continue to claim that we should believe them on everything.
00:07:53.000And then they whine that people don't believe the science.
00:09:05.000Pfizer-BioNTech announced after the 2020 elections that their vaccine was more than 90% effective at preventing infection.
00:09:10.000Weeks later, Moderna announced over 94% efficacy at preventing infection.
00:09:14.000We still have not seen where that data came from since it turns out not to be remotely true.
00:09:17.000That was the data that people like me were citing back in December 2020 when we suggested that it was important to get the vaccine.
00:09:24.000Again, being anti-mandate, because I don't believe that the government should mandate this sort of stuff, because, again, the vaccine protects you once you take it yourself, and the number of people who couldn't take the vaccine was vanishingly low, but the stats that were being put out there by Moderna and Pfizer apparently were just not true.
00:09:39.000Nearly everything the president and his scientific advisors assumed for the next six months hinged on those numbers, even though it had become clear that summer that the vaccines Though highly effective at stopping death and hospitalization, did a far worse job of blocking infection than originally expected, as potency waned and new more transmissible variants emerged.
00:09:57.000This is the Washington Post admitting that by June of 2021, it was perfectly clear that the vaccines were not actually stopping transmission.
00:10:03.000Still, the political imperative remained, says the Washington Post.
00:10:07.000As the July 4th celebration drew closer, Biden flagged to his staff that they need to add some caveats to his remarks, echoing the warnings he had been issuing about potential variants in the weeks prior.
00:10:15.000His top advisors worked to scale back the tone, cutting several overly triumphant lines, and added some fine print with cautions like COVID-19 has not been vanquished.
00:10:22.000But the event went on as planned, and the message delivered was ultimately one of victory.
00:10:26.000Biden said we are emerging from the darkness.
00:10:27.000Just three weeks later, spurred in part by a Delta outbreak among a highly vaccinated population in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that even fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors.
00:10:38.00062% of the nation approved of how Biden was handling the COVID pandemic in late June, shortly before he gave the speech.
00:10:42.000That number fell 10 percentage points to 52% approval in late August and September, 47% by November, dragging down his overall rating according to the Washington Post-ABC News polling.
00:10:51.000We go with what we know at the time, with the best possible information, with what the experts are telling us, and we do our best," said Mike Donilon, a senior Biden advisor.
00:10:59.000That is an amazing sequence of events.
00:11:03.000So according to the Washington Post, again, they said that It was clear that the potency was waning, that people were getting infected, and Biden went ahead and declared independence anyway, because he needed the win.
00:11:15.000And then he went ahead and tried to backfill that by suggesting a VAX mandate.
00:11:18.000And remember, this remained the Biden line up until today, is that you need a VAX mandate in the workplace.
00:11:23.000He's still suing to get OSHA to force employees to get vaccinated.
00:12:10.000To go to a plumber and when you're no longer able to go to the mechanic because they're all bad at their jobs, you're no longer able to go to anybody.
00:12:15.000You can't go to your doctor because your doctor might be lying to you.
00:12:21.000The answer is we need to build up new institutions.
00:12:23.000The answer is that we need to build up alternative institutions that we can actually trust, but that's going to take a long time and serious effort, and that's going to have to be a major American project.
00:12:33.000Everybody who's involved in this sort of stuff needs to be thrown out of office.
00:12:36.000If they're in the private sector, they need to be fired.
00:12:40.000There may need to be actual criminal prosecutions if you are disseminating false health information to people on the basis of zero evidence.
00:12:49.000And again, the way that the Pfizer lady justified all of this is she said, well, you know, there are certain studies that say we may have saved 20 million lives.
00:13:10.000If that's really how the vaccines had worked, don't you think that as that became clear, more and more people would have taken them?
00:13:16.000Also, as I said before, if my 65-year-old parents took the vaccine and it was wildly preventative of serious disease and death, I didn't really need to get the vax either.
00:13:27.000Now, as I've spoken out before, I got vaxed twice or had them double vaxed.
00:13:31.000My wife being a doctor and seeing vulnerable patients is triple vaxed.
00:13:34.000But knowing now what I know then, Knowing then what I know now, rather, would I have actually gotten Vaxxed based on the information?
00:13:43.000That my actual chances of death from COVID were exorbitantly low, and I wouldn't be preventing my parents from getting it.
00:13:51.000That was really what I was concerned about because we were bubbled with my parents.
00:14:29.000We've now seen study after study coming out with people who are making complaints about side effects from the vaccine, for example.
00:14:35.000But pretending the vaccine doesn't have side effects or fibbing about it, that's not the solution either.
00:14:39.000And we've seen this in every aspect of how COVID was treated.
00:14:42.000And this should say something about how much we trust our experts and how much we trust our government.
00:14:47.000It was a lesson to me, I'll be honest with you.
00:14:49.000Because again, I come from a traditionalist background.
00:14:53.000I come from a background where you're supposed to Believe in the received wisdom of the ages.
00:14:59.000We're supposed to believe that people who spend their days studying a topic know more than you do.
00:15:03.000But when it turns out they're just lying to you, all that trust is violated.
00:15:08.000So you can see this with regard to, for example, what just happened with the data on school closings.
00:15:14.000So it is now perfectly clear that the data on school closings, the schools that closed, are a disaster area.
00:15:21.000Now, we were told over and over by everyone from Randy Weingarten at the American Federation of Teachers to the Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona, that, you know, if we shut down the schools to help protect the kids, it's not going to damage them too much.
00:15:36.000And we were told, you know, small children wearing masks, that would have no impact on speech.
00:15:40.000Even if it's completely ineffective by all available data at preventing transmission among children.
00:15:45.000And even if children are not at serious risk of dying from the disease in the first place, they're more likely to die of pneumonia than they are to die of COVID.
00:16:15.000students in most states and across all demographic groups have experienced troubling setbacks in both math and reading, according to an authoritative national exam released on Monday, offering the most definitive indictment yet of the pandemic's impact on millions of schoolchildren.
00:16:26.000Now remember, I can show you a montage right now.
00:16:28.000Members of the media, members of government, scientists telling us, guys, if we shut down the schools, we have to do it.
00:17:18.000Take risks to ride a bicycle, to be an astronaut.
00:17:21.000We don't want our children to take risks to go to school.
00:17:24.000Any state that is having a serious problem, that state should seriously look at shutting down.
00:17:30.000I do think that in large parts of the country right now, the infection rates are so high that it's probably not safe to send kids back.
00:17:36.000Not every state is created equal, not every school district is created equal, so we have to be very vigilant about cases and hold back in those areas where the uptick is still significant.
00:17:47.000If you have a situation in which you don't have a real good control over an outbreak and you allow children to gather together, they likely will get infected.
00:17:55.000And these recommendations and his push for schools to reopen is going against the advice of federal health experts.
00:18:01.000Tonight, President Trump pushing for schools to reopen, despite rising cases in more than half the country.
00:18:08.000But according to the New York Times...
00:18:10.000The declines in student performance have been exorbitant, extraordinary.
00:18:14.000In math, the results were especially devastating, representing the steepest declines ever recorded on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as the Nation's Report Card, which tests a broad sampling of 4th and 8th graders and dates to the early 1990s.
00:18:25.000In the test's first results since the pandemic began, math scores for 8th graders fell in nearly every state.
00:18:31.000Every state, a meager 26% of 8th graders were proficient.
00:18:39.000That is a decline, depending on how exactly you're measuring it, of 20-25%.
00:18:48.0004th graders fared only slightly better, with declines in 41 states.
00:18:51.000Just 36% of 4th graders were proficient in math, down from 41%.
00:18:55.000Reading scores also declined in more than half the states, continuing a downward trend that had begun even before the pandemic.
00:19:01.000No state showed sizable improvement in reading.
00:19:03.000Only one in about three students met proficiency standards, a designation that means students have demonstrated competency and are on track for future success.
00:19:16.000For the country's most vulnerable students, the pandemic left them even further behind.
00:19:21.000So the Biden administration is even admitting this is a wake-up call and this is a problem.
00:19:25.000Here's Miguel Cardona, the education secretary, who again did not force the schools to reopen despite the fact that the schools should have been open in the first place, admitting this is a wake-up call.
00:19:34.000Secretary, thank you for being with us.
00:19:37.000How are you reacting to this this morning?
00:19:41.000Well, look, you know, I'm saying if this is not a wake up call for us to double down our efforts and improve education, even before it was before the pandemic, then I don't know what will.
00:19:53.000We really need to make sure we're utilizing the ARP dollars to help our students in reading and math and go beyond the data that we had in 2019.
00:20:18.000But we don't reopen the schools because all we have to do really is just placate our teachers union buddies who are then going to funnel a lot of that money back into getting us reelected.
00:20:25.000But last year, the federal government made its largest single investment in American schools, $123 billion or about $2,400 per student to help students catch up.
00:20:33.000School districts were required to spend at least 20% of the money on academic recovery.
00:20:36.000So by the way, that is an amazing stat.
00:20:39.000So the school district, they were being given $2,400 per student, and they were required by the Democrats to spend a grand total of $480 per student on actual student education.
00:20:49.000The rest of the money just disappears into the ether to placate the unions.
00:20:53.000With funding slated to expire in 2024, research suggests it could take billions more dollars and several years for students to properly recover.
00:21:00.000Well, maybe you shouldn't have shut down the schools in the first place and lied to everybody about it.
00:21:05.000Places where they didn't shut down the schools did better.
00:21:11.000For example, Texas, where many schools opened sooner, held steady in reading.
00:21:16.000In California, which stood out for its cautious reopening, scores declined less than national averages in several categories, but they did decline.
00:21:52.000It's not enough to legally and safely own a firearm to protect your family.

00:23:41.000According to the Washington Post yesterday, in March 2021, the Biden administration released the federal government's largest pool of pandemic relief for public schools.
00:23:48.000The American Rescue Plan infused campuses with $122 billion to reopen buildings, address mental health needs, and help students who had fallen behind academically.
00:23:55.000The need was supposedly so urgent that two-thirds of the money, $81 billion, was released less than two weeks after the plan was signed into law and before the Education Department could approve each state's spending plan.
00:24:04.000Despite having access to the dollars, school systems reported spending less than 15% of the federal funding.
00:24:10.000During the 2021-2022 school year, the spending rates varied considerably between states, even among school districts within the state.
00:24:16.000But the trend of a slow rollout was especially apparent in some of the school districts that have incurred the steepest learning losses in English and math, according to the data.
00:24:23.000Meanwhile, national test scores in elementary school math and reading have plunged to levels that haven't been seen in decades.
00:24:30.000We don't have enough money, said Kerry Rodriguez, president of the Education Advocacy Group at the National Parents Union.
00:24:34.000Now we have a historic amount of spending like never before.
00:24:38.000So apparently it wasn't spent for a variety of reasons, including delayed access to funds, a nationwide educator shortage, and a desire to make the money last.
00:24:45.000Or, alternatively, you just didn't want to use it.
00:24:48.000You just didn't want to use it for the kids.
00:24:49.000Instead, you decided to use it for a bunch of random stuff that you haven't earmarked for in the future.
00:24:55.000The perversion of our kids' education in order to achieve particular political results, including lockdowns.
00:25:04.000Corine Jean-Pierre, for her part, the worst press secretary in American history, she blamed Donald Trump for all of this, which is an amazing statement considering the schools were shut in 2020 because nobody knew what was going on.
00:25:13.000And by 2021, we all knew what was going on.
00:25:17.000Are there any plans to mount a similarly widespread, wide-ranging, and comprehensive effort to respond to the educational consequences of this pandemic?
00:25:25.000So, as you all know, from when the president walked into this administration, it was a top priority for him to safely reopen schools.
00:25:34.000And he did that, especially for our kids, right?
00:26:27.000They pushed all of this on the back of a pandemic that had already waned by the time that Joe Biden took office, and for which a vaccine was available that prevented significant disease and death for the most vulnerable among us.
00:26:36.000They continue to push this stuff, and the consequences have been absolutely dire.
00:26:42.000People aren't forgetting who's pushing the lockdowns.
00:26:44.000People aren't forgetting the fact that Gavin Newsom in California says that his emergency declaration about COVID-19 will end in February of 2023.
00:26:51.000Which, by the way, is a hell of a way to treat an emergency.
00:26:53.000I don't know an emergency where I can actually predict the end to the month.
00:28:04.000It's so bad that Charlie Crist has to just lie about it.
00:28:05.000He actually tweeted out last week, quote, Governor DeSantis is the only governor in Florida history to shut down the schools and lock down businesses.
00:28:13.000Which is just unbelievable gaslighting.
00:28:16.000I mean, he was the, like, at the beginning of the pandemic when everyone did?
00:28:19.000Would that be what you're talking about?
00:28:20.000Because Ron DeSantis is actually quite famous for reopening the state of Florida.
00:28:43.000And Ron DeSantis is now a wildly popular governor of what used to be a purple state, but is now pretty obviously a significantly red state.
00:30:05.000Those poll results flip fortunes from just four years ago for Republicans among Hispanics.
00:30:09.000According to CNN exit polling from 2018, Andrew Gillum took 54% of the Latino vote against DeSantis's 44% of the vote that year.
00:30:17.000DeSantis's strength comes largely from those with Cuban backgrounds who hate communism and therefore don't like what the Democrats are pitching.
00:30:24.000Chris leads other Hispanics by a fairly wide margin.
00:30:28.000But DeSantis has the support of 56% of Hispanics who were born in another country and 48% of Hispanics born in the United States.
00:30:36.000Among Hispanic independents, DeSantis enjoys a 56 to 34 lead.
00:30:40.000The reason for all of this, the reason DeSantis is running away with this race is again because he didn't, he had his own experts that he went to when it came to whether to shut down the state or whether to mandate vaccines or whether to forcibly mask children.
00:30:52.000This is the reason he's doing so well.
00:30:53.000MSNBC is freaking out about this, as well they should be.
00:30:55.000There was MSNBC highlighting that poll result for Ron DeSantis yesterday.
00:30:59.000Meanwhile, there's brand new polling from likely Hispanic voters in Florida, which shows Ron DeSantis with a solid advantage there.
00:31:08.000Well, it tells us that he has buy-in and it confirms a lot of the Republican claims that Hispanic voters are trending further and further to the right in Florida.
00:31:16.000Now, it's important to point out that a Hispanic voter in Florida is significantly different than a Hispanic voter in other parts of the Sun Belt, but Republicans clearly are effective in messaging to these groups of Hispanic voters in Florida.
00:31:29.000Right now, DeSantis is a seven-point lead over Charlie Crist for this upcoming race, but what's maybe even more telling is his 56% Okay, which means they probably will end up voting for DeSantis.
00:31:48.000So, Charlie Criss is about to get absolutely whomped in Florida.
00:31:51.000Again, that state has turned red because Ron DeSantis didn't listen to the Democrats on all of this sort of stuff.
00:31:57.000By the way, the same is true on all of the supposed policies that are that are supposed to make him unpopular.
00:32:02.000The media is very, very angry at Ron DeSantis, for example, for cutting down on the indoctrination of children in schools.
00:32:06.000They've decided this is their top priority.
00:32:08.000Ron DeSantis, the debate last night, the governor of Florida, he ripped into woke history.
00:32:12.000This happens to be a popular perspective among, wait for it, Hispanics.
00:32:17.000But what I think is not good is to scapegoat students based on skin color.
00:32:22.000It's not good to distort American history by saying that the American Revolution was fought to defend slavery, which is not true.
00:32:31.000I think we should have a history like Abraham Lincoln believed in our founding, like Frederick Douglass.
00:33:30.000Why don't you look in the eyes of the people of the state of Florida and say to them, if you're reelected, you will serve a full four-year term as governor?
00:33:57.000Well, listen, I know that Charlie's interested in talking about 2024 and Joe Biden, but I just want to make things very, very clear.
00:34:04.000The only worn-out old donkey I'm looking to put out to pasture is Charlie Priss.
00:34:12.000So the reason the dissents didn't answer the question is because Chris broke the rules of the debate.
00:34:15.000The rules of the debate were the candidates were not allowed to ask each other direct questions, and Chris violated all of that.
00:34:20.000Okay, so, leading up to the midterms, there's a lot of anger out there, and a lot of the anger is being driven by the bad policy and the lies that we've been told for the past several years by the media, by Democrats, by the expert.
00:34:29.000In just a second, we'll get to an NBC News poll that shows that interest in the midterms is very high, and so is polarization.
00:34:35.000We'll get to why that is in just one second.
00:34:37.000First, you know, the way you raise your kids is probably the most important thing in your life.
00:34:41.000And this means that if God forbid something happens to you, you have to make sure that the people who raise your kids after you actually share your values.
00:34:57.000When we made our will, for example, we actually had to think through who would we want to raise our kids in case, God forbid, something happened.
00:35:27.000You can't afford to just leave the government figuring out who's going to take care of your kids or how your assets are disposed of, and then they just take a chunk of your assets.
00:35:37.000Well, folks, now feels like a good time to read another email The Daily Wire was cc'd on in an ongoing ad segment called Breakup Letters.
00:35:43.000These are real messages from former Harry's Razors customers who canceled their subscriptions and switched over to Jeremy's.
00:35:48.000Today's letter is from a man who writes to Harry's, quote, I've been a subscriber since 2015, and I'm canceling because I'm one of those knuckle-dragging savages that believes in traditional morality.
00:35:56.000I stuck with y'all after the Gillette Razors snafu.
00:35:58.000I'm leaving because of your treatment of Daily Wire.
00:36:13.000Keep the breakup emails coming by copying us at reviews at jeremysrazors.com.
00:36:17.000Okay, so the polls are showing the Democrats are falling further and further behind on the generic ballot.
00:36:22.000The polls are also showing high levels of political polarization, which of course is no shock.
00:36:26.000According to NBC News, less than three weeks before Election Day, voter interest has reached an all-time high for a midterm election, with a majority of registered voters saying the election is more important to them than past midterms.
00:36:34.000What's more, 80% of Democrats and Republicans believe the political opposition poses a threat that, if not stopped, will destroy America as we know it.
00:36:45.000It was true for Bill Clinton on the Democratic side of the aisle back in the 90s.
00:36:47.000even if that person had a moral failing that wasn't consistent with their own values.
00:36:51.000Which again is not a shock, we've known this for quite a while.
00:36:54.000It was true for Bill Clinton on the Democratic side of the aisle back in the 90s, it was true for Donald Trump in 2016.
00:36:58.000These are some of the major findings of a new national NBC News poll, which shows a competitive contest for November and offers positive signs for both parties.
00:37:05.000On the Democrats' side, Joe Biden's approval rating is supposedly at 45%.
00:37:08.000Congressional preference continues to be relatively even.
00:37:11.000Apparently, it's 47 to 46, which is within margin of error.
00:37:15.000Threats to democracy are voters' number one issue for the third straight NBC News poll.
00:37:19.000For Republicans, the positive signs are that Biden's approval among independents and swing state voters is in the 30s and low 40s, that the GOP once again holds the enthusiasm advantage that Republicans' leading congressional preference among the smaller set of likely voters, 48 to 47.
00:37:33.000But the biggest issue here is that when you look at the poll statistics, people believe that the other side is basically going to destroy the country.
00:37:39.000Now, you can see why a lot of people believe that the country is on the verge of being destroyed.
00:37:43.000If you are on the right, you believe that the country is being destroyed by a coterie of elitists who wish to undermine traditional morality, lock you in your home during COVID, make sure that you pay exorbitantly high taxes, undermine Race comedy in the United States and pursue an equity agenda that requires centralization of massive government in pursuit of environmental utopianism.
00:38:33.000If you didn't defeat Mitt Romney, then Mitt Romney is going to send y'all back to the back to the chains, according to Joe Biden.
00:38:40.000Okay, but this sort of polarization is right now being largely driven by Democrats, not Republicans.
00:38:48.000I say this because they keep ramping up the rhetoric.
00:38:50.000For all the talk about Republican rhetoric here, and Republicans are making clear that, you know, it's kind of an extraordinary thing when the President of the United States is talking about the moral duty to trans the kids.
00:38:58.000Like, that seems to me destroying Western civilization.
00:39:01.000For the left, the fact of an election is what is destroying Western civilization.
00:39:06.000They just keep saying over and over, democracy is at stake, like there will never be another election in this country.
00:39:13.000All the accusations that they make about the election deniers on the Republican side of the aisle, they themselves are making.
00:39:18.000And they keep claiming over and over and over that democracy is at stake, that we are at the end of democracy, that enemies of the Democratic Party are enemies of the Republic.
00:39:39.000Or Justice Thomas could decide on his own.
00:39:41.000So this is a temporary pause, but it's a very notable one, given how important this case is to the issue of democracy, Hallie.
00:39:49.000Which is at stake in this election, as you well know, especially with so many election-denying Republicans running for some of these secretary of state races, for example, gubernatorial attorney general.
00:39:59.000Again, the idea is democracy is on the line here.
00:40:02.000Hillary Clinton is doing the same thing.
00:40:04.000She's saying that we are now preparing for all elections to be stolen in the future.
00:40:07.000So we now have everybody who doesn't trust the elections.
00:40:10.000I know we're all focused on the 2022 midterm elections, and they are incredibly important.
00:40:17.000But we also have to look ahead, because you know what?
00:41:02.000Because half the party thinks that he wasn't, and it'd be very powerful for you to tell the truth.
00:41:06.000So listen, Biden is the president today.
00:41:08.000There's a lot of folks in the media that anytime... Hold on, I'm answering exactly that question.
00:41:13.000There are a lot of folks in the media that try to, anytime a Republican is in front of a TV camera, try to say the election was fair and square and legitimate.
00:42:01.000Again, the idea that this is all happening on one side of the aisle is incredibly bizarre.
00:42:05.000Nicole Wallace on MSNBC, she says that maybe we should have foreign observers to monitor American elections now, which is a pretty radical observation.
00:42:12.000Do you think it's time to ask for friends and allies to come over and help us monitor our elections?
00:42:18.000We used to do that in other burgeoning and threatened democracies.
00:42:24.000Yeah, no, Nicole, I'm not there yet, and I know why you're asking what you're asking, and you're not wrong, right?
00:42:28.000I mean, you know, the kind of intimidation that is threatened around polling places.
00:42:32.000I mean, you've seen the pictures of the guys with assault weapons near boxes.
00:42:38.000And again, that used to be sort of the province of, I hate to use the term, but third world countries that didn't care about democracy.
00:42:45.000But no, look, this is something for us to work out ourselves.
00:42:51.000At some point, the United States is going to need to collectively decide that not only are we going to oppose Russians and Chinese and North Koreans and Iranians messing around with our elections, we're not going to allow the Republican Party to do it either.
