The Ben Shapiro Show - This One STUNNING Chart Explains Why America Is Collapsing

00:00:00.000 Joe Biden is losing this election right now. 0.95

00:00:02.000 If you look at his poll numbers, they just stink.

00:00:05.000 He's running about even with Donald Trump in most of the national polling, but he's running slightly behind him in virtually all of the swing states, which is why, presumably, Nate Silver, who is sort of the pollster and poll analyst par excellence, he has now come out and suggested that maybe Joe Biden ought to drop out of the race entirely.

00:00:23.000 He put out an entire thread yesterday and a sub stack post talking about how Joe Biden is in serious trouble.

00:00:29.000 He said, quote, personally, I crossed the Rubicon in November, concluding that Biden should stand down if he wasn't going to be able to run a normal reelection campaign, meaning things like conduct a Super Bowl interview.

00:00:37.000 Yes, it's a huge risk.

00:00:38.000 And yes, Biden can still win, but he's losing now.

00:00:40.000 There's no plan to fix the problems other than hoping the polls are wrong or that voters look at the race differently when they have more time to focus.

00:00:47.000 Well, yesterday he put out a new thread saying Biden just hit a new all-time low in approval, 37.4% at 538 yesterday.

00:00:55.000 That means that just over one-third of Americans approve of Joe Biden's job.

00:00:58.000 Those are hardcore members of the Democratic Party base.

00:01:01.000 Everyone else thinks he's terrible at his job.

00:01:04.000 Are we there yet?

00:01:05.000 says Nate Silver would be a big risk, but there's some threshold below which continuing

00:01:08.000 to run is a bigger risk.

00:01:09.000 Are we there yet?

00:01:10.000 I don't know, but it's more than fair to ask.

00:01:12.000 What's clearer in my opinion is the Democrats would have been better served if Biden had

00:01:15.000 decided a year ago not to seek a second term, which would have allowed them to have some

00:01:18.000 semblance of a primary process and given voters a say among the many popular Democrats across

00:01:22.000 the country.

00:01:23.000 Thank you.

00:01:24.000 Now, again, he is not wrong about all of this.

00:01:26.000 There are people who are screaming at him today, suggesting that he is totally wrong, that Joe Biden is going to win running away.

00:01:32.000 It is hard to see how Joe Biden wins running away when the man can't even walk at this point.

00:01:36.000 He is not the only person saying this, of course.

00:01:38.000 James Carville, who was the sort of brain behind Bill Clinton's election victories in 1992 and 1996, he also said yesterday that Joe Biden should have stepped out of this race.

00:01:47.000 He should not have run against Donald Trump.

00:01:50.000 You know, we have a we have a choice to make in November.

00:01:54.000 It isn't a choice that I was crazy about.

00:01:58.000 I actually was very public that I thought that President Biden should not run for re-election.

00:02:05.000 Now, underscoring all of Joe Biden's electoral troubles are a few factors.

00:02:09.000 Factor number one, of course, is that the man is no longer with us.

00:02:12.000 And every single day, there are more clips showing Joe Biden in the awkward position of being senile.

00:02:18.000 I mean, he is falling apart.

00:02:19.000 He is not even the Joe Biden of four years ago, and the Joe Biden of four years ago is not the Joe Biden of eight years ago, and the Joe Biden of eight years ago is no great shakes.

00:02:26.000 So what you have here is effectively downstream from not being a very good politician.

00:02:32.000 I mean, this guy ran for president multiple times before.

00:02:34.000 It was only the halo effect of being Barack Obama's vice president that allowed him to run for president again in the first place in 2020.

00:02:42.000 But now he is diminished.

00:02:43.000 He is clearly diminished.

00:02:44.000 He has problems remembering what country he's talking about.

00:02:46.000 Yesterday, for example, Joe Biden mixed up Iraq and Ukraine.

00:02:50.000 Honestly, he has mixed up in the last two weeks, Taiwan and China, Taiwan and Ukraine, South Korea and Taiwan, Russia and Ukraine.

00:02:59.000 You remember just a few months ago, he mixed up Mexico and Egypt.

00:03:03.000 You know, I'm just wondering, how do you mix up these places?

00:03:06.000 It's bizarre.

00:03:06.000 Here he was yesterday.

00:03:08.000 I think there's a new rise and a sense of Some within the country wanting to let that slip.

00:03:16.000 The idea that we become semi-isolationists now, which some are talking about.

00:03:21.000 I mean, the idea we had to wait all those months just to get the money for Iraq because we were waiting.

00:03:26.000 I mean, it's just, it's just, it's not who we are.

00:03:31.000 It's not who America is.

00:03:33.000 The money for Iraq.

00:03:35.000 Yes, he is totally with us.

00:03:36.000 And then, of course, this clip was going around yesterday.

00:03:38.000 There's some sort of musical event at the White House, I guess.

00:03:42.000 And everybody is bopping out to the music except for Joe Biden, who is standing there like a block of wood.

00:03:47.000 He is a houseplant at this point, folks.

00:03:49.000 And then, of course, he was making a speech yesterday, and he dropped this one right in

00:04:17.000 If you can decipher this, we need a game here in which we determine whether you can decipher what Joe Biden is saying.

00:04:23.000 It's like who wants to be a millionaire except can you interpret the verbiage of this person?

00:04:28.000 Here we go.

00:04:30.000 She knows so long as she's denied, our freedom can never be secured.

00:04:36.000 Well, I mean, it's true.

00:04:37.000 Our freedom can never be secured unless... It's that sort of stuff that is making Americans a little bit discomfited.

00:04:45.000 Combine that with the fact that obviously all of his issues are coming to a head.

00:04:48.000 Jury deliberations are continuing right now with Hunter Biden.

00:04:53.000 Will Hunter Biden actually be convicted of a crime?

00:04:55.000 I don't know.

00:04:56.000 This is happening in Wilmington, Delaware, which is Biden's hometown.

00:04:58.000 None of this is reflecting well on Joe Biden.

00:05:01.000 Beyond that, he is now bleeding support in a number of areas where he needs the support.

00:05:07.000 Get to more on this in a moment.

00:05:08.000 First, there's been some monumental news recently nobody is talking about.

00:05:11.000 For the first time in American history, the interest we pay on the national debt surpassed every individual budget item except for Social Security.

00:05:18.000 This means the U.S.

00:05:19.000 now spends more on interest than on our national defense or even Medicare, which is disgraceful and it's only getting worse as our government continues to spend like drunken sailors.

00:05:26.000 That is why savvy investors, central banks, and concerned savers are turning to gold.

00:05:30.000 Because it's not tied to the inflated U.S.

00:05:31.000 dollar.

00:05:32.000 You can, too, with the help of Birch Gold.

00:05:34.000 For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.

00:06:07.000 So there's a headline yesterday suggesting that Joe Biden was not in fact losing Jewish support

00:06:12.000 over the war in Gaza.

00:06:13.000 I have some serious problems with this particular poll, which is from the American Jewish Committee, which is a left-leaning organization in the United States.

00:06:20.000 But the American Jewish Committee found 61% of respondents plan to vote for Joe Biden come November.

00:06:25.000 It said 23% will vote for Trump.

00:06:28.000 Now the way the media are playing that is that that's the exact same 38 point spread that Biden won in 2020.

00:06:32.000 The difference is that Joe Biden won 68% of the Jewish vote according to AP Votecast exit polling in the year 2020.

00:06:40.000 So that's actually a seven point decline from 2020.

00:06:43.000 And by the way, it's more severe than that because when it comes to actual voter turnout, every Orthodox Jew is going to vote and many secular Jews simply are not. 0.51

00:06:51.000 So those polls are wildly overestimating the amount of support that Joe Biden has in the Jewish community.

00:06:57.000 Beyond that, obviously he has been bleeding in a number of other areas as well.

00:07:02.000 He's bleeding among young voters.

00:07:03.000 An NPR investigation that came out just a couple of days ago found that when you look at young black voters, young black voters are only supporting Joe Biden by a margin of 33 to 31 over Donald Trump.

00:07:18.000 21% say someone else and 11% say Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:07:22.000 Among Latino young voters, Donald Trump is actually winning 32 to 28.

00:07:28.000 He's actually leading more Donald Trump among Latino voters than he is among young white voters.

00:07:32.000 So, Joe Biden's coalition is bleeding, which leads to a question.

00:07:36.000 What is his coalition at this point?

00:07:38.000 What is his coalition?

00:07:39.000 Now, you've all heard my theory, my grand unifying field theory of American politics, which is that in 2012, Barack Obama broke American politics.

00:07:47.000 He should have lost that election.

00:07:48.000 He won that election by cobbling together a coalition of the dispossessed, plus a bunch of left-wing white single ladies. 0.98

00:07:55.000 And that has been the Democratic coalition ever since.

00:07:57.000 They stopped appealing to middle of America.

00:07:59.000 They stopped pursuing moderate policies.

00:08:01.000 They just decided to double down on the base over and over and over again and shout about Donald Trump.

00:08:06.000 And so, led by these sort of twin chimeras of the coalition of losers vote.

00:08:11.000 And when I say coalition of losers, I'm not talking about racial groups in general.

00:08:14.000 I'm talking about their entire strategy is to tell certain subsections of each particular group, they're victims of American society. 0.67

00:08:21.000 This is part and parcel of the Democratic campaign.

00:08:25.000 So that chimera, which most Americans want to hear, that they are, in fact, victims of American society, combined with the chimera, that if you just shout Trump over and over and over, you are likely to win.

00:08:34.000 That strategy, by the way, has only worked once.

00:08:37.000 It's been tried twice.

00:08:38.000 It only worked once.

00:08:39.000 That once came in 2020, which was the weird, outstanding election of our lifetime.

00:08:44.000 Joe Biden keeps doubling down on the Barack Obama strategy.

00:08:47.000 He is going to appeal, he believes, to left-wing White single ladies as well as minority voters.

00:08:55.000 That is going to be his coalition and it is leading him down an electoral primrose path here that is quite dangerous.

00:09:02.000 It also happens to be that by feeding the Grievances of particular groups in the United States who don't actually have serious grievances in the United States, you end up with a major problem.

00:09:15.000 It turns out that politics is not merely a reflection of the American people, it also drives people.

00:09:20.000 When you lie to the American public, when you tell members of the American public they are victimized by American society, what you end up with is a more perverse version of American society.

00:09:30.000 It turns out that if you want a healthy society, that healthy society is predicated upon certain norms that have to be shared in common by literally everyone.

00:09:39.000 These are not norms that should be discarded or turned into dichotomous political issues.

00:09:44.000 But that is exactly what, in the pursuit of this new electoral coalition Barack Obama did in 2012, and it's what Joe Biden is doing right now.

00:09:52.000 And it's breaking wide open a bunch of weird notions in American life.

00:09:59.000 So start with this one.

00:10:01.000 There was a poll recently from Pew that looked at differences between Democrats and Republicans, between Biden supporters and Trump supporters, on sort of key issues of the day.

00:10:11.000 And so I looked at their feelings about abortion, I looked at their feelings about foreign policy, but there was one question in particular that really goes to the heart of the future of the country, and it's really a problem.

00:10:22.000 It's something that the Democrats have been promoting full-scale as a worldview, and it's making the country significantly worse.

00:10:28.000 So according to this Pew Research polling, The question was, percentage of registered voters who say society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority.

00:10:39.000 Now the truth is that number should be 100%.

00:10:41.000 It should be 100%.

00:10:43.000 Every single person, I don't care if you are straight, if you are gay, if you are married, if you are unmarried, the health of society rests on healthy families. 0.88

00:10:51.000 The suggestion of anything otherwise is simply ridiculous.

00:10:54.000 In fact, the only groups, historically speaking, who have rejected the idea that a healthy society rests on healthy families tend to be cult ideologies like Marxism and Nazism, ones that suggest that the state ought to be your family, or super libertarian ideas that suggest that the family is some sort of repressive factor in life and should be exploded entirely.

00:11:12.000 But for virtually everyone else who lives in the real world, the family is, of course, the healthy family, is the basis of any society.

00:11:19.000 So, should people Make marriage and having children a priority?

00:11:23.000 Of course!

00:11:24.000 Doesn't mean that career shouldn't be a priority.

00:11:27.000 But clearly, the priority for any civilization should be creating healthy homes and then having kids.

00:11:35.000 This should not be even remotely controversial.

00:11:36.000 However, it turns out it really, really is.

00:11:39.000 So here is the voting gap on that particular issue.

00:11:43.000 59% of Trump supporters say society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority.

00:11:48.000 So number one, that's extremely low.

00:11:50.000 The right wing of the country, only 60% believe that having children and making marriage a priority, that that is a good for society.

00:11:58.000 Not even for you, individually, for society.

00:12:00.000 So that speaks to an anti-natalist culture in the United States.

00:12:03.000 It speaks to the idea that expressive individualism Which is a phrase that was coined by Robert Bella, and then has been taken up by Alistair McIntyre to describe the viewpoint we have about ourselves, which is that basically the only obligations we owe are obligations to ourselves, as opposed to family and then society at large.

00:12:19.000 That that has taken real hold, that our feelings are us, and those are the people who matter the most.

00:12:23.000 That's taken hold among everyone, including Trump supporters, 59% of whom say society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority.

00:12:30.000 But look at this gap.

00:12:33.000 19% of Biden supporters say that should be a priority.

00:12:36.000 Less than 1 in 5 supporters of Joe Biden believe it should be a priority to make marriage and having children top priority for society.

00:12:45.000 That's insane.

00:12:46.000 That is the death of a civilization kind of ideology.

00:12:49.000 And of course, it's become incredibly pervasive.

00:12:51.000 Among all voters, only about 39% say that society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority.

00:12:58.000 Which speaks again to the decline of the society.

00:13:00.000 And that has been pushed, as we can see, in heavily partisan fashion.

00:13:03.000 That is, right there, a 40-point gap between Trump supporters and Biden supporters on the very basic question as to whether marriage and family ought to be top priority in a society.

00:13:17.000 When you look at those gaps among, for example, college grads, you can see it even more broadly.

00:13:21.000 Trump's supporting college grads.

00:13:23.000 66% believe that society is better off if you get married and have kids.

00:13:27.000 Only 17% of Biden's supporting college grads believe that society is better off if people make marriage and having kids a priority.

00:13:35.000 That is an amazing number.

00:13:38.000 And again, a minority, literally a minority of every ethnic group in the United States now believes this.

00:13:43.000 That is a serious problem.

00:13:44.000 It's been promoted by one side of the political aisle above all, obviously the Republican Party.

00:13:48.000 Conservatives have been promoting the idea that family is crucial for my entire lifetime and well before.

00:13:53.000 But the left in the United States has successfully made the case that marriage and family are not a priority.

00:13:57.000 Which, by the way, is one of the reasons you are seeing this massive gender gap that is opening up between Trump supporters and Biden supporters.

00:14:03.000 Biden supporters are heavily female. 0.99

00:14:05.000 Trump supporters are increasingly male.

00:14:07.000 That's what happens when you explode the institution of marriage.

00:14:10.000 The institution of marriage used to put people generally on the same political page.

00:14:14.000 This is why married women tend to vote like men. 0.99

00:14:17.000 Not because married women have become enthralled men, but because when the common cause of a woman and a man is the family, it turns out that that family is going to need things like supportive institutions, like church.

00:14:27.000 That that family is going to want to be left alone by the government more often.

00:14:31.000 When you explode marriage, what you end up with is men who are unmoored from women, and women who believe that the highest form of self-exploration and self-fulfillment must exist apart from men and having kids. 0.66

00:14:44.000 And again, this boggles the minds, I think, of most normies.

00:14:47.000 When I say normies, I don't mean that you're abnormal if you believe the opposite.

00:14:51.000 I think that most people historically, the vast majority of societies historically, have always believed that marriage and having kids was the priority.

00:14:57.000 And separating yourself off from the main purpose of living is a bizarro world take.

00:15:02.000 But it has become the predominant take in the West, which is why the West is collapsing and it's being exacerbated by political divides in the West.

00:15:09.000 Again, it's sort of fascinating.

00:15:12.000 The health of any society is predicated on the intermediate institutions of that society.

00:15:17.000 This is a point made by the sociologist Robert Nisbet.

00:15:21.000 Not unique to me, obviously.

00:15:23.000 The way that most people function in society is with relation to their community, with relation to their church, with relation to their family.

00:15:29.000 These are called the intermediate institutions of society.

00:15:32.000 There are two other levels of society, the state and the individual.

00:15:36.000 And what we have seen as the family breaks down, what we have seen as intermediate institutions like church and social groups, as those break down, what we have seen is a divide in America between the radical individualists and the radical statists.

00:15:48.000 And sometimes they weirdly end up on sort of a horseshoe theory, same side of the issues.

00:15:52.000 Whatever it is, it's not good for American society. 1.00

00:15:54.000 You know what's incredibly stupid? 0.99

00:15:56.000 Believing that somehow countries don't have an obligation to rescue their hostages. 1.00

00:15:59.000 That's really, really dumb. 1.00

00:16:00.000 You know what else is stupid? 1.00

00:16:01.000 Not getting life insurance. 0.99

00:16:57.000 Again, PolicyGenius.com slash Shapiro.

00:17:01.000 So you have the Biden coalition, which is largely composed of young single women who agree With that poll, that getting married and having kids is really not a priority and certainly is not the main priority.

00:17:13.000 Combine that with Joe Biden's belief that he needs heavy minority turnout.

00:17:17.000 And so that means you have to start looking at the opinions of minorities in the United States, particularly black Americans.

00:17:23.000 Joe Biden is focused in laser-like on the idea that he's going to win, like Barack Obama did in 2012, a heavy share of the black vote.

00:17:29.000 So why exactly?

00:17:30.000 How's he going to pander to those voters?

00:17:32.000 Now, we've seen Joe Biden trying to pander to those voters before, suggesting that all black people are victims in society.

00:17:38.000 And many people, many Americans, black, white, everybody has been like, well, that's weird.

00:17:42.000 Why is he doing that?

00:17:44.000 Especially given the fact that Joe Biden is going places like Morehouse College and saying at graduations that black people are victims.

00:17:51.000 Well, you can see why Joe Biden is doing that.

00:17:53.000 There is new polling data out from Pew of black Americans.

00:17:58.000 And here is the share of black adults who believe in particular ideas.

00:18:02.000 First, black public officials are singled out to be discredited.

00:18:06.000 76% of black adults believe that black public officials are singled out to be discredited, which is an amazing statement considering that people like Kamala Harris exist. 0.92

00:18:15.000 Kamala Harris is literally only vice president because she's a black woman. 1.00

00:18:19.000 That is not me saying that, that is Joe Biden saying that.

00:18:23.000 76% believe that police do little to stop guns and drugs in black communities, which comes into conflict with the other belief by Black Americans, which is that they are routinely victimized by the justice system.

00:18:41.000 So, you want it both ways, it turns out in this poll, that police do little to stop guns and drugs in Black communities, but 74% believe that Black people are disproportionately incarcerated so prisons can make money.

00:18:53.000 Those two things are in direct conflict.

00:18:54.000 If you want the police to do more about drugs and guns, it turns out that many people are going to go to jail for, you know, the drugs and the guns.

00:19:02.000 Now, this means that three quarters of Black Americans believe that the police are not doing anything to stop guns and drugs in Black communities, and also that Black people are disproportionately incarcerated so prisons can make money.

00:19:11.000 67% of Black Americans, apparently, believe that big businesses market luxury items to Black people to keep them in debt. 0.81

00:19:19.000 Not because those businesses want to make money, but because they want to keep black people in debt. 0.99

00:19:24.000 Which again, makes zero sense.

00:19:25.000 If you're a capitalist, you actually do not want your customers to go bankrupt.

00:19:29.000 It turns out they can't pay you when they go bankrupt.

00:19:32.000 55% of black Americans say that medical researchers experiment on black people without their knowledge or consent.

00:19:38.000 As in today.

00:19:40.000 Not the Tuskegee experiments, the evil Tuskegee experiments of like the 1940s and 50s. 0.90

00:19:44.000 Like today. 0.95

00:19:48.000 55% believe the government encourages single motherhood among black women to eliminate the need for black men.

00:19:54.000 Now, again, I think that the welfare state has done an extraordinary disservice to black Americans and has broken up the black family.

00:20:03.000 But the notion that that's been the explicit purpose is to make black men unnecessary in the household is a stretch.

00:20:09.000 51% believe that the government promotes birth control and or abortion to keep the black population small. 0.59

00:20:15.000 Okay, so these are very heavily conspiratorial beliefs.

00:20:20.000 Behind the scenes, according to Axios, Kiana Cox, a senior researcher on Pew Research Center's race and ethnicity team, tells Axios the study was developed by asking black participants if they'd ever heard of particular racial beliefs, later dubbed conspiracy theories in research findings.

00:20:32.000 If they had, researchers asked if the participants thought the beliefs were true.

00:20:36.000 Cox said, we asked this in stages.

00:20:38.000 We didn't phrase it as conspiracy theories in the survey because the term can be a little charged.

00:20:42.000 For black people, these types of narratives are also grounded in history.

00:20:46.000 Now again, I love that sort of language.

00:20:49.000 Grounded in history.

00:20:51.000 I'm sorry, it's grounded in history?

00:20:55.000 That medical researchers currently experiment on black people without their knowledge or consent?

00:21:01.000 I mean, yes, black people, that's happened to black people. 0.97

00:21:06.000 70 years ago, 80 years ago.

00:21:07.000 It's also the year 2024.

00:21:12.000 This month marks two years since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

00:21:15.000 Did you know the number of abortions have actually increased since then?

00:21:18.000 New estimates show that more than 1 million babies were killed by abortion in 2023, the highest number of abortions since 2012.

00:21:24.000 The overturning of Roe v. Wade has unfortunately made the abortion pill more readily available.

00:21:28.000 It now accounts for up to 64% of all abortions.

00:21:31.000 But Preborn continues to stand strong on behalf of life.

00:21:34.000 Preborn is the largest pro-life organization in the country.

00:21:36.000 They provide free ultrasounds to moms with unplanned pregnancies to introduce them to the precious life growing inside them.

00:21:41.000 When a mom meets her baby on ultrasound and hears their heartbeat, she is twice as likely to choose life.

00:21:45.000 How can you help?

00:21:46.000 Every day, Preborn rescues 200 lives.

00:22:12.000 So, Joe Biden has to cater.

00:22:15.000 He has to cater.

00:22:16.000 And the way that you cater, if you are Joe Biden, in the end, is that what you have to do is you have to suggest that members of your voting bloc are in fact victims.

00:22:27.000 This ties into the broader left-wing intersectional theory.

00:22:29.000 What is their grand unifying theory of politics?

00:22:31.000 It isn't quite as cynical as my grand unifying theory of politics, which is that Barack Obama decided he was going to appeal to certain specific groups, cobble them together, and win a victory in 2012.

00:22:40.000 And ever since, Democrats have been trying to bind that coalition together.

00:22:43.000 If you're a Democrat, the question is, what is the glue that holds that coalition together?

00:22:47.000 Because, of course, a very awkward coalition.

00:22:49.000 If your coalition is queers for Palestine, Or single ladies for less police. 1.00

00:22:56.000 It's a very, very weird coalition.

00:22:58.000 How do you keep that coalition together?

00:22:59.000 And the answer, of course, is a victim mentality being inculcated by the Democratic Party and promoted.

00:23:05.000 The idea is that there is, in fact, an intersectional coalition of people, all of whom are victims of white Christian males predominantly. 0.84

00:23:12.000 And if they rise up together, they can smite the white Christian males. 0.78

00:23:15.000 Now, it's kind of awkward to have at the top of your ticket an 81-year-old self-stated white Christian male, but you do what you can.

00:23:23.000 And so this is one of the reasons why the Democratic Party has been moving in such radical directions on, for example, the Gaza War.

00:23:30.000 So when you look at Gaza, it turns out that young Americans don't actually care very much about Gaza.

00:23:36.000 That same poll that showed low levels of support for Joe Biden from young Americans, that same poll shows that very few young Americans actually see the war in Gaza as a serious issue for them.

00:23:50.000 Only 5% of Latino voters label the war in Gaza a top issue.

00:23:56.000 That's not a very high number.

00:23:57.000 Only 4% overall of young people say that Gaza is the top issue.

00:24:01.000 For black voters, it's like 3%.

00:24:03.000 But the reason that the Biden administration has been focused in laser-like on the Gaza War is because I think they rightly perceive that the Gaza War has become the tip of the spear of the so-called Omni Cause. 0.91

00:24:15.000 And I didn't coin the term Omni Cause, but it's a very good term. 0.99

00:24:17.000 I can't remember who coined it.

00:24:18.000 Forgive me for not mentioning your name if you did.

00:24:21.000 The Omni cause idea is that everybody has to believe in the same general rubric of ideas.

00:24:27.000 Again, this intersectional idea, which unifies you against the overarching structure.

00:24:33.000 And Gaza is like the apex, the tip of the spear on this. 0.97

00:24:37.000 Because if you can believe the absurdity that Is in fact a victim of white Christian males, or white Jews, or white people generally, or western civilization generally, and they are part of your cause despite the fact they're an evil terrorist group. 0.74

00:24:52.000 Then you are willing to commit to pretty much anything.

00:24:54.000 It's why Black Lives Matter, before October 7th, was talking about the so-called Palestinian cause.

00:25:01.000 It's why after October 7th, Black Lives Matter put out an actual graphic depicting a silhouette of a person in a paraglider attacking the NOVA festival on October 7th.

00:25:13.000 Because again, if the idea is victimhood and victim ideology, Then is there a better example of that on planet Earth than the claims made by their supporters?

00:25:22.000 A claim that you start a war, you lose a war, and therefore you have been victimized by a big, bad, Zionist society? 0.96

00:25:28.000 It's like the perfect example of whining until you win.

00:25:33.000 Of gaining world support by being evil and then whining about it.

00:25:37.000 Or shooting yourself in the foot and then complaining about the wound.

00:25:42.000 So this is why the Biden administration has been coming around to this.

00:25:45.000 It also explains why there is so much angst among the Democratic Party elite over the war in Gaza.

00:25:51.000 When in reality, if they just treated it like they treat any other war, which is it's a war very far away that involves a Democratic ally of the United States and a terrorist group.

00:26:00.000 So give them the support they need to win the war and then leave it alone.

00:26:04.000 This thing would have been over in February already.

00:26:06.000 But the Democratic Party couldn't allow it to be over in February.

00:26:09.000 Instead, they have to keep pressing down that gas pedal on the intersectional coalition.

00:26:14.000 This is why, for example, you see James Clyburn, who is one of the people who made Joe Biden president.

00:26:19.000 If you go all the way back to 2020, you'll recall that Bernie Sanders won a bunch of primaries very early on in the process, and it looked like he might be on a glide path to the nomination, and James Clyburn in South Carolina, who has outsized weight, Made the appeal to the black community that Joe Biden needed to be the nominee.

00:26:32.000 Well now, James Clyburn is saying that he's not going to attend a speech by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which is currently scheduled for July 24th in Congress.

00:26:42.000 Now why?

00:26:43.000 The answer is because the intersectional coalition has decided that Hamas is a member of the international intersectional coalition.

00:26:50.000 Here is James Clyburn doing the pandering routine.

00:26:54.000 Larry Russell, the Chairman of the Board of the NAACP, is a longtime friend of mine.

00:26:58.000 We've been celebrating 50 years this year, knowing each other.

00:27:01.000 I'm going to be communicating this week with Derek Johnson, the President and CEO of the NAACP, and I'm going to look for others to join me in developing, putting together an alternative to what Netanyahu will be saying and doing when he comes to that joint session.

00:27:21.000 I do not plan to attend it.

00:27:24.000 because I'm gonna treat him the same way he treated Barack Obama.

00:27:29.000 But I am going to participate with a group of others in an alternative session

00:27:35.000 to his joint session and see whether or not we can get some attention to what

00:27:39.000 makes sense.

00:27:40.000 An alternative session, pray tell what would the alternative session be?

00:27:43.000 Also, by the way, the idea that Benjamin Netanyahu is the one who treated 0.86

00:27:46.000 Barack Obama badly is so patently insane. 0.96

00:27:49.000 I mean, you have to be totally ignorant of American history in order to 1.00

00:27:52.000 believe this. 0.90

00:27:53.000 Barack Obama literally made Benjamin Netanyahu, when he visited the White

00:27:56.000 House, exit through a side entrance of the White House, like where they take out the trash at the White House.

00:28:02.000 It was Barack Obama who fostered the most anti-Israel administration,

00:28:05.000 this side of Joe Biden.

00:28:06.000 Thank you.

00:28:07.000 But again, this is all part of the broader left-wing coalition.

00:28:12.000 And this is why the Biden administration can't simply have their sister soldier moment.

00:28:16.000 Number one, they certainly would not have a sister soldier moment like in reality today.

00:28:20.000 We'll get to more on this in just one moment.

00:28:22.000 First, election year typically means chaos for us, for our wallets.

00:28:25.000 Since 1952, the stock market has underperformed during election years, averaging a 7% gain.

00:28:30.000 The S&P is up so far this year.

00:28:32.000 But who knows what's going to happen.

00:28:34.000 How do we prepare for market volatility?

00:29:24.000 Reply stop to opt out.

00:29:26.000 For those who remember the Sister Soulja moment.

00:29:28.000 The Sister Soulja moment, which has become sort of a byword in American politics.

00:29:33.000 This happened when Bill Clinton was running for office in 1992 and he rejected the viewpoint of a hip-hop MC named Sister Soulja.

00:29:43.000 And just to review what this means, she was asked a question.

00:29:48.000 About people who are perpetrating violence during the 1992 L.A.

00:29:52.000 riots.

00:29:53.000 And here's what she said.

00:29:53.000 She said, yeah, it was wise.

00:29:55.000 I mean, if black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people? 1.00

00:29:58.000 White people, this government and that mayor were well aware of the fact that black people were dying every day in L.A. 1.00

00:30:02.000 under gang violence. 0.99

00:30:03.000 So if you're a gang member and you would normally be killing somebody, why not kill a white person? 0.99

00:30:07.000 Do you think somebody kills that white people? 0.99

00:30:08.000 Somebody thinks that white people are better, are above and beyond dying when they would kill their own kind? 1.00

00:30:12.000 That is what she said in 1992, and then Bill Clinton did a speech in which he rejected those words.

00:30:16.000 Do you think Joe Biden would reject those words today?

00:30:18.000 Or would he just say, that's coming from a place of truly justified anger?

00:30:22.000 And she may have gone too far, but we understand why she's complaining.

00:30:26.000 This is how the Democratic Party has moved.

00:30:27.000 The party of Bill Clinton in 1992 tried to appeal to middle-of-the-road voters.

00:30:31.000 The party of 2024 takes the radicals, tut-tuts them, pats them on the head, tries to hug them, And then at the same time tries to keep them at just enough arm's length to not alienate every moderate voter, which is why, for example, pro-Gaza, pro-Hamas hecklers keep showing up and yelling at Joe Biden, and Joe Biden and the Democrats literally don't know what to do with them.

00:30:50.000 Here's a pro Hamas heckler yelling genocide Joe, Joe Biden.

00:30:54.000 You better do genocide Joe, change the standards of policy. 0.53

00:31:11.000 You can see this guy yelling at Joe Biden.

00:31:13.000 And then they go back to Joe Biden.

00:31:15.000 And Joe Biden has no response to that.

00:31:16.000 This happened to Kamala Harris the other day. 1.00

00:31:18.000 She was also yelled at by a pro-protester.

00:31:21.000 And she said, we want to hear your voice.

00:31:23.000 We want to hear your voice.

00:31:24.000 The Democratic Party cannot alienate members of the intersectional coalition by pointing out that not everyone who claims victimhood status is, in fact, a victim.

00:31:32.000 And this has bled up into the cultural sphere.

00:31:35.000 Apparently, there's a person named Chapel Roan.

00:31:37.000 I've never heard of her.

00:31:38.000 Apparently, she is some sort of singer.

00:31:41.000 And she was going to sing, I guess, for Pride Month, because it is the holiest month of the year in the United States.

00:31:48.000 Rowan, in full green statue of Liberty body paint, started a set on Sunday by addressing her audience and suggesting that she would not be going to the White House.

00:31:58.000 We want liberty, justice and freedom for all.

00:32:06.000 We want liberty, justice, and freedom for all.

00:32:09.000 When you do that, that's when I'll call.

00:32:12.000 Yeah!

00:32:13.000 I love you.

00:32:14.000 Okay, and made an overt appeal with regard to Gaza.

00:32:19.000 And this is why, again, the Biden administration having such trouble with moderates, having such trouble, and they're going to continue to cobble together the coalition of people who believe that they are victims.

00:32:29.000 And we're not building institutions, we're not building families, we're not building the intermediate institutions of society that make society function.

00:32:37.000 That is the message of the Biden administration.

00:32:41.000 Is that you're a bunch of victim groups, American society has victimized you, vote for Joe Biden.

00:32:45.000 Does that sound like a winning message to you?

00:32:47.000 It doesn't sound very much like a winning message to me.

00:32:51.000 Which is why they're going to rely on their second message.

00:32:53.000 As I say, they've had a couple of messages since 2012.

00:32:56.000 Message number one is that there are a bunch of victimized groups in American society, and that bunch of victimized groups must vote for Democrats in order to overcome.

00:33:04.000 And the second message is Donald Trump.

00:33:06.000 We'll get to that one in just one moment.

00:33:08.000 First, with all the focus on our broken justice system, And judges abusing their roles, there's one judge who will never abuse his role.

00:33:14.000 Of course, I'm talking about Judge Matt Walsh.

00:33:17.000 The final episode of Judged by Matt Walsh season one is now streaming exclusively at Daily Wire+.

00:33:21.000 I'll be honest with you, when I first heard that they were making Matt Walsh into some sort of judge and that those judgments that he made would be legally binding, my first thought was that is a horrible idea because who exactly would give Matt Walsh that kind of decision-making authority?

00:33:35.000 But then it turns out that there are a number of people who would like to be judged by Matt Walsh.

00:33:40.000 So Matt had promised us the pettiest of courts.

00:33:42.000 He definitely delivered.

00:33:43.000 Check out a sneak peek of the final episode of Judge by Matt Walsh.

00:33:46.000 Coming up on Judge, you are over the age of 11.

00:33:48.000 You're big into Halloween.

00:33:49.000 What does that mean exactly?

00:33:50.000 I have a very large display, animatronics.

00:33:53.000 Kids enjoy it.

00:33:54.000 My kids enjoy it.

00:33:55.000 So you're trying to lure the kids in the neighborhood to your house?

00:34:00.000 For candy.

00:34:01.000 For candy?

00:34:02.000 Does that make it better?

00:34:03.000 That does not make it better at all.

00:34:05.000 I went to console one of the dogs, and I said, who's a big boy?

00:34:09.000 And I rubbed his belly, and I assumed... The question was not directed at you.

00:34:14.000 Or was it?

00:34:14.000 Was it you fat shaming the bailiff?

00:34:26.000 It's the finale of Judge by Matt Walsh, streaming now exclusively at Daily Wire Plus.

00:34:30.000 Well, meanwhile, if message A of the Democratic Party since 2012 has been, here's our coalition of the dispossessed, and message B has been, Donald Trump is the worst person to ever walk the earth, a message that did not work in 2016 and seemed to kind of work in 2020, and in going forward into 2024, when Joe Biden is riding high at 37% in the approval ratings, where do you think they are going to go?

00:34:50.000 Well, it's pretty obvious right now what the setup is for the Joe Biden-Donald Trump debate.

00:34:55.000 That Biden-Trump debate is slated to take place in just a couple of weeks here.

00:35:00.000 June 27th is when it's going to happen.

00:35:03.000 Apparently Joe Biden is now heading up to Camp David to prepare for the June 27th debate.

00:35:07.000 I assume he's just going to sleep a lot.

00:35:09.000 Because what else do you do to prepare for that debate?

00:35:13.000 Meanwhile, Trump Senior Advisor Jason Miller said President Trump takes on numerous tough interviews every single week and delivers lengthy rally speeches while standing demonstrating elite stamina.

00:35:23.000 So, again, the idea here is going to be from Team Trump that Joe Biden is going to simply fall down on the stage.

00:35:28.000 Now, again, I think that that's a bad setup for Donald Trump.

00:35:30.000 I think that if he sets the bar so low as Joe Biden remains alive, then Joe Biden will probably surpass that bar.

00:35:36.000 They'll take him in the back room, they'll hook him up to some 14-year-old kid, they'll pump the blood into old Joe, they'll shove him on out there with some amphetamines in his system, and he'll last for a couple of hours.

00:35:45.000 However, the real message that Joe Biden is going to seek to promote is that Donald Trump is a threat to the Republic.

00:35:50.000 It's a very difficult argument to make, given the fact that Joe Biden is, in fact, a threat to the Republic.

00:35:55.000 Not just because he's prosecuting his political opponents, but because he's doing a terrible job on every single front.

00:36:01.000 Every appeal that Joe Biden makes on policy is doomed to fail.

00:36:04.000 So, for example, yesterday, senior Biden spokesperson Adrian Elrod was ripping on Trump on foreign policy.

00:36:10.000 This is a dog that will not hunt. 0.85

00:36:12.000 Joe Biden is the worst foreign policy president probably ever. 0.98

00:36:16.000 I'm not kidding. 0.92

00:36:17.000 He is probably the worst foreign policy president in the history of the United States.

00:36:21.000 But here they are trying to promote this idea.

00:36:24.000 This is the freedom that people have, going back to the message of freedom.

00:36:27.000 They have the right to protest.

00:36:28.000 They have the right to speak their mind.

00:36:30.000 He's not going to take anything for granted.

00:36:32.000 And I think it's also important to really keep in mind, Jonathan, during these challenging times on the foreign policy front, on the global front.

00:36:40.000 Can you imagine having Donald Trump back in the White House trying to manage all of this?

00:36:43.000 I mean, President Biden is a seasoned foreign policy pro.

00:36:47.000 He served, of course, as the chair on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a long time.

00:36:50.000 He has these relationships with world leaders that go very, very deep.

00:36:55.000 Um, yeah, that is not going to work, because he's terrible on foreign policy.

00:36:58.000 So what are they going to rely on? 0.99

00:36:59.000 In the end, they're going to rely on January 6th, and Trump is a nut.

00:37:02.000 So, yesterday, in a pretty astonishing interview, Abby Phillip had on... She, of course, is a very objective journalism-er.

00:37:08.000 I mean, just journalism-ing happening all over the place.

00:37:10.000 The journalism is getting everywhere.

00:37:11.000 Hot, sticky journalism happening here between Abby Phillip and George Stephanopoulos.

00:37:15.000 So George Stephanopoulos, another journalism-er par excellence, a person who was literally a White House press secretary for the Clintons, We've got a presidential debate coming up right here on CNN later this month.

00:37:25.000 has on George Stephanopoulos and they talk about what should be the subject of the debate.

00:37:28.000 And they both agree. They both agree. The only subject of the entire debate should be January 6th

00:37:34.000 and Donald Trump being an election denier. Here we go. We've got a vice presidential debate coming

00:37:39.000 up right here on CNN later this month. As a journalist, as an American, what do you think

00:37:46.000 is the most important question that needs to be answered from both candidates? Who won the last

00:37:53.000 selection.

00:37:54.000 Yeah.

00:37:55.000 Very simple.

00:37:56.000 Who won the last election?

00:37:58.000 Let's discuss and debate.

00:38:01.000 Okay, and Stephanopoulos says he would ask zero other questions.

00:38:04.000 He said that's literally the only question that he would ask.

00:38:07.000 And if that question doesn't get asked, he would just keep coming back to the question.

00:38:10.000 I mean, at this point, why doesn't he just go debate Donald Trump himself?

00:38:13.000 Now, Donald Trump is going to have to have an answer for this, because the reality is Democrats are going to come after him on this.

00:38:18.000 Now, I think there are a few answers he could give.

00:38:20.000 He could say, listen, I think there was a lot that was wrong with that election cycle.

00:38:23.000 I made that very clear.

00:38:25.000 I did leave office when I was constitutionally obligated to do so.

00:38:30.000 But I will tell you what is also crystal clear to me.

00:38:32.000 I do not prosecute my political opposition.

00:38:35.000 Joe Biden does.

00:38:37.000 If we're talking about dangers to democracy, if we're talking about election denial, why not look to the Democratic side of the aisle, where Hillary Clinton has been spending years denying that she lost the 2016 election?

00:38:47.000 Why not look to the Democratic side of the aisle, where they literally militarize half of the deep state in order to deny that Donald Trump won the 2016 election.

00:38:54.000 There are a bunch of ways in which Trump can reframe, but I think that the big temptation for Trump is to be stuck in that tar pit, because he likes talking about 2020.

00:39:03.000 The American public, however, really does not like talking about 2020.

00:39:07.000 That's what Democrats want him to do.

00:39:08.000 It's the biggest trap of the entire debate, and the media are going to obviously be on Joe Biden's side of that debate.

00:39:15.000 Meanwhile, Corine Jean-Pierre is pushing the idea that anybody who opposes the Biden administration is distributing misinformation. 0.63

00:39:23.000 And there's another, I think, rich vein for Trump to mine, which is that the 2020 election probably would have gone differently if the entire media, including the moderators, I'm sure, at the debate, had not covered up the Hunter Biden story.

00:39:34.000 But here's Corine Jean-Pierre going off on misinformation.

00:39:39.000 We have seen the consequences of what happens when communities don't know where to turn for trusted information.

00:39:46.000 There's calamity and chaos and even catastrophe.

00:39:50.000 And from the fires on Maui to hurricanes across the East and Gulf Coast, we have both seen what happens when dangerous misinformation drives a wedge between communicators and the American people.

00:40:06.000 It's amazing.

00:40:08.000 So this is going to be their message.

00:40:09.000 It's going to be Trump all the way down.

00:40:11.000 And it's going to be Democrats promoting alarmist nonsense about how Trump is going to jail them.

00:40:16.000 I love this.

00:40:17.000 Here is Alexander Ocasio-Cortez worrying that Donald Trump is going to throw her in jail.

00:40:21.000 No, you're the best thing that ever happened to Donald Trump, AOC. 1.00

00:40:25.000 Because you just say stupid crap all the time and make Republicans more likely to vote. 1.00

00:40:30.000 Also, if we're talking about people who try to jail their political opponents, you might want to look to the guy who's the president of your party. 1.00

00:40:36.000 But here is AOC worried that she's going to be thrown into jail. 1.00

00:40:38.000 Do you really believe that AOC thinks she's going to be thrown into jail?

00:40:41.000 Seriously?

00:40:44.000 What happens to you if Donald Trump wins?

00:40:47.000 What do you do?

00:40:47.000 What's your first move?

00:40:49.000 I mean, it sounds nuts, but like, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy threw me in jail.

00:40:55.000 Really? 0.85

00:40:56.000 He's out of his mind.

00:41:00.000 I mean, he did his whole first campaign around lock her up.

00:41:02.000 Like, this is his motto.

00:41:04.000 Oh, he didn't say that, you know.

00:41:05.000 He said he didn't say that.

00:41:06.000 Yeah, right?

00:41:10.000 I take him at his word.

00:41:14.000 You take him at his word that he's going to lock people up?

00:41:17.000 Weird, because he didn't.

00:41:18.000 I noticed.

00:41:19.000 There was a chance of lock her up and then he was actually the president.

00:41:22.000 Did he lock Hillary Clinton up? 0.99

00:41:23.000 I missed that part where she ended up going to jail, although she certainly should have. 0.98

00:41:26.000 Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is doing the same routine. 0.65

00:41:29.000 I will just remind everybody in the audience, if Joe Biden is elected, Kamala Harris will be president.

00:41:32.000 It is that simple.

00:41:33.000 There is no way he finishes a second term.

00:41:35.000 So if you want this smarm factory over here to be president of the United States, I highly recommend voting for Joe Biden.

00:41:40.000 Here is Kamala Harris.

00:41:41.000 Since the verdict, he attacks the judge and the witnesses.

00:41:43.000 He suggests the case could be a, quote, breaking point for his supporters, hinting at violence.

00:41:48.000 perpetrated by any of their political opponents that is all in their head or

00:41:51.000 virtually all in their head. Here's Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:41:54.000 Since the verdict, he attacks the judge and the witnesses.

00:41:59.000 He suggests the case could be a, quote, breaking point for his supporters,

00:42:06.000 hinting at violence. He spreads lies that our administration is controlling the

00:42:13.000 case when everyone knows it was a state prosecution.

00:42:18.000 And he says that he will use a second term for revenge.

00:42:25.000 So what does all of this tell us?

00:42:28.000 Well, simply put, Donald Trump really thinks he's above the law.

00:42:35.000 He really does.

00:42:38.000 And this should be disqualifying for anyone who wants to be president of the United States.

00:42:44.000 Unbelievable stuff there from Kamala Harris.

00:42:46.000 So again, that is going to be the Democrats' twin appeal in the face of Joe Biden's wild unpopularity.

00:42:51.000 It's going to be that you are a member of a victimized subgroup in the United States, and two, that Donald Trump is a danger to the republic.

00:42:58.000 The big problem is, I'm not sure people are buying it.

00:43:00.000 I really don't think the American people are going to buy this because it turns out that on policy, Joe Biden has been a terrible threat to the Republic.

00:43:07.000 Even members of the media are beginning to notice it.

00:43:09.000 Here was an ABC reporter questioning the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas yesterday, asking about Joe Biden's immigration policy and saying pretty openly, you keep saying it's successful.

00:43:18.000 What's the success exactly?

00:43:20.000 We will succeed.

00:43:22.000 That was three years ago.

00:43:23.000 Since then, 6.5 million migrants have been apprehended along the southern border.

00:43:28.000 It would be very hard to call that a success.

00:43:30.000 Martha, remember something, that immigration, migration, is a dynamic phenomenon.

00:43:37.000 It is something that we alone are, it's not just us who is experiencing it, throughout the region and throughout the world.

00:43:46.000 Sure.

00:43:47.000 It's all because of everybody else.

00:43:50.000 Okay, again, underneath all this, by the way, are all sorts of other concerns.

00:43:54.000 The economy continues to blink red right now.

00:43:58.000 Joe Biden's economy is still suffering from an overage of inflation.

00:44:02.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, inflation is still higher than the 2% the Federal Reserve is aiming for.

00:44:06.000 Now the media are trying to turn that into everything is fine.

00:44:09.000 They say maybe that's okay.

00:44:10.000 That is, if we could just put aside the fact that we hate inflation so much.

00:44:13.000 So to us, it is us.

00:44:15.000 We've been misinterpreting the high prices.

00:44:16.000 If only we understood Joe Biden, we would understand that high prices are good now.

00:44:20.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, Fed policymakers are poised on Wednesday to leave their benchmark federal funds rate steady at the highest level in more than two decades, and inflation is the biggest reason their preferred measure of consumer prices from the Commerce Department was up 2.7% from a year earlier in April.

00:44:34.000 That marks an improvement from April 2023 when it was up 4.4%, but still doesn't show the kind of progress investors were hoping for at the beginning of the year.

00:44:42.000 But apparently, according to the Wall Street Journal, a higher inflation rate might be good.

00:44:46.000 It would allow the Fed to set interest rates higher.

00:44:48.000 Then when the economy ran into trouble, the central bank would have more scope to cut rates before hitting zero.

00:44:53.000 So probably we should be happy with the high inflation rates.

00:44:56.000 Good luck trying to sell this one.

00:44:57.000 But they are trying to sell it.

00:44:59.000 Two economists, Jim Parrott and Mark Zandi.

00:45:01.000 Zandi, of course, is chief economist of Moody's Analytics.

00:45:04.000 They are now saying that Joe Biden's Federal Reserve should declare victory on inflation and cut the interest rates despite the fact that inflation is still running 50% too high.

00:45:13.000 Again, trying to pull out all the stops on Joe Biden is going to lead to some pretty dire consequences between now and the election.

00:45:18.000 I'm honestly, in many ways, worried about what Joe Biden is going to do between now and the election more than I am worried about the election itself.

00:45:25.000 I think Donald Trump is in a fairly solid position to win if he doesn't step all over himself.

00:45:30.000 But I think the damage that Joe Biden can do in a bizarre attempt to maintain his office between now and the election, that's going to be some pretty dangerous stuff.

00:45:38.000 We'll get to more on this in just one moment.

00:45:39.000 First, are you still struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns?

00:45:42.000 Well, this year, the IRS is coming after you.

00:45:44.000 They're escalating their collections by adding 20,000 new agents and sending millions of demand letters.

00:45:49.000 Now that tax season is over, collection season, unfortunately, has begun.

00:45:52.000 Handling this alone can be a huge mistake and cost you thousands of bucks.

00:46:36.000 That's 1-800-245-6000 or visit TNUSA.com slash Shapiro today.

00:46:42.000 I can tell you that in Europe, it's not selling.

00:46:44.000 So people on the left internationally are freaking out.

00:46:48.000 Because the EU decided to shift.

00:46:51.000 The European parliamentary elections shifted dramatically in favor of the right, which is called the far-right in Europe.

00:46:56.000 The far-right is basically anybody who's to the right of Emmanuel Macron.

00:47:00.000 According to the Washington Post, in European Parliament's election Sunday night, the far-right surged in nations including Germany and Austria, but nowhere with more impact than in France.

00:47:07.000 The national rally there clobbered the ruling centrist coalition so badly that President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the French National Assembly and called snap legislative elections.

00:47:15.000 His bet?

00:47:15.000 Voters might be angry at him, but they're not prepared to allow the pick of Marine Le Pen, the fiery doyen of French nationalist, Euro-skeptic, anti-immigration politics, to head a new French government.

00:47:23.000 It's a bet that carries a high risk.

00:47:25.000 Already, that uncertainty was reflected on the French stock market on Monday.

00:47:28.000 The mayor of Paris called the dissolution of Parliament ahead of the Olympics extremely disturbing.

00:47:33.000 The person who is running to replace Emmanuel Macron is a 28-year-old young man named Jordan Bardella, who is the protege of Marine Le Pen.

00:47:43.000 On Sunday, Bardella led Le Pen's far-right opposition party to its biggest victory ever in European elections, according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:47:50.000 Public anxiety over the possibility of far-right forces rising to power as they once had in Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and Vichy France has been a defining feature of French elections for decades, according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:48:00.000 Look how they're trying to look at that.

00:48:01.000 I mean, just comparing Jordan Bardella to the Nazis.

00:48:04.000 Amazing, amazing stuff.

00:48:05.000 It should be noted at this point that the National Rally Party is the most pro-Israel party in French politics.

00:48:11.000 It should be noted that Emmanuel Macron is far, far more pro-Gaza, pro-Hamas than Jordan Bardella is in France at this point.

00:48:21.000 The stigma around National Rally, the Wall Street Journal admits, has begun to fade with every passing election.

00:48:25.000 National Rally maintains its strident anti-immigrant stance, but its ideas are no longer fringe.

00:48:29.000 Bardella, meanwhile, is a nimble politician. 1.00

00:48:32.000 He made a point of attending a march against anti-Semitism held after the October 7th attacks on Israel.

00:48:36.000 Days before, a television interviewer asked him whether Jean-Marie Le Pen was an anti-Semite.

00:48:41.000 I was born in 1995, Bardella said.

00:48:43.000 You're talking about an era I didn't experience.

00:48:45.000 He said I wouldn't make the comments he made about the detail, because for me the horrors of the Holocaust aren't the detail of history.

00:48:51.000 So he doesn't want to separate off from the founders of his party, but he's making very clear that he is not standing with, for example, Jean-Marie Le Pen's views about Jews.

00:49:01.000 And it is impressive to see the Europeans begin to reject that which ought to be rejected in the United States as well. 0.59

00:49:08.000 Meanwhile, again, the Biden administration totally discombobulated on foreign policy.

00:49:13.000 Antony Blinken has been deployed to the Middle East once again to slow Israel's role in Rafa.

00:49:17.000 That's basically what happens.

00:49:18.000 The United States has decided that it is in the interest of the United States for Hamas to remain. 0.92

00:49:22.000 Some sort of governing entity in the Gaza Strip.

00:49:24.000 There's no other way to explain what is being done right now.

00:49:27.000 So Antony Blinken has now been deployed in order to go yell at Bibi Netanyahu.

00:49:30.000 It's not going to have the same effect because there was a war cabinet in Israel until five minutes ago that was staffed by people who are much more friendly to Antony Blinken's point of view, including, of course, Gadi Eisenkot and Benny Gantz.

00:49:40.000 They both stepped out of the war government just over the weekend.

00:49:43.000 So that means that whatever Blinken says is now being heard by Benjamin Netanyahu, now accompanied By the rest of his normally elected government, which is a far more right-wing government than the War Cabinet was.

00:49:54.000 So what is the United States doing?

00:49:56.000 The United States is now talking about the possibility of signing a separate deal with Hamas.

00:50:00.000 I don't even know how that would work, in order to free the five American hostages.

00:50:03.000 What does that even look like?

00:50:04.000 What can the United States offer Hamas? 0.88

00:50:06.000 Hamas doesn't care about humanitarian aid. 0.70

00:50:08.000 They don't want the humanitarian aid.

00:50:09.000 They want people starving.

00:50:10.000 They're shooting people who bring in humanitarian aid.

00:50:13.000 What exactly should the United States taxpayer be contributing to Hamas here?

00:50:19.000 So what exactly? 0.97

00:50:20.000 It's ridiculous.

00:50:21.000 What it really is an attempt to put extraneous pressure on Israel to sign some sort of permanent ceasefire, which is not going to happen.

00:50:26.000 That same sort of effort was pursued yesterday at the UN Security Council.

00:50:30.000 According to the Times of Israel, the U.N.

00:50:31.000 Security Council adopted a U.S.-led resolution on Monday urging Hamas to accept Israel's latest hostage-for-seize-file proposal.

00:50:37.000 Now, of course, as we've been discussing for two weeks here, the proposal that has been suggested is Israel, by Biden, is not Israel's.

00:50:45.000 The Israeli government has already said, we didn't make that proposal.

00:50:48.000 The way you're articulating it is not what we said.

00:50:50.000 Biden is trying to push it anyway via the United Nations, which is why Hamas then put out a statement supporting the U.N.

00:50:57.000 Security Council resolution without accepting any deal.

00:51:00.000 Which is, again, demonstrating exactly the game here.

00:51:02.000 Which is, any deal that would happen to free the hostages has to allow Israel the continuation of the war to extirpate Hamas. 0.53

00:51:10.000 Hamas will not sign any deal that frees the hostages that actually makes them go away.

00:51:16.000 So they're stuck.

00:51:16.000 That's the impasse.

00:51:18.000 And you can gloss over that with some diplomatic happy talk, but it ain't gonna work.

00:51:22.000 So Hamas is embracing the UN Security Council resolution apparently in the belief that the Biden administration will be able to cram down a permanent ceasefire on Netanyahu's government.

00:51:30.000 Not going to happen.

00:51:32.000 And the United States is pretending that Hamas is against the ceasefire because, again, they are against any sort of ceasefire that removes them from power.

00:51:43.000 Russia abstained.

00:51:45.000 They said members were being told Israel accepted the proposal, but Netanyahu has repeatedly insisted the war will continue until Hamas has been defeated.

00:51:50.000 So Russia abstained because Russia actually is seeing through the veil here.

00:51:53.000 Russia's saying, well, I mean, there's no agreement.

00:51:55.000 So what exactly is the UN Security Council proposing?

00:52:00.000 So, again, this is just absolutely discombobulated policy from the Biden administration, but that is par for the course around the White House.
