TaNehisi Coates is a racial conflagrationist who believes truly terrible things. He has been given pretty much every award that our stupid society has to offer, that our self-defeating white liberals have to offer. He is the toast of the town, and is treated as though he is a moral paragon, a prophet of our times. That is just how he is treated by the entire media this way, so much so that if you ask him a difficult question, all of CBS News melts down. He was questioned, as we say, on CBS News because he has a new book out called The Message. And this book is basically a rabid screed about how evil Israel is. And it is emblematic of a broader worldview that has now infused large swaths of the Democratic Party and much of the left in Europe. It is a worldview that is actually evil. Not just mistaken, but actually evil, and I want to talk about that today because it has consequences for our politics and for election 2024. First, become a Daily Wire Plus member today!

00:01:26.000He's treated by the entire media this way.
00:01:29.000So much so that if you ask him a difficult question, all of CBS News melts down, which is what happened last week.
00:01:35.000He was on a show. A reporter asked him a tough question, and that reporter then took it directly in the teeth from the CBS News brass.
00:01:42.000But what Ta-Nehisi Coates believes is actually evil, and it is emblematic of a broader worldview that has now infused large swaths of the Democratic Party.
00:01:50.000Not every Democrat. Large swaths of the upper elite of the Democratic Party believe exactly what Ta-Nehisi Coates believes.
00:01:57.000Huge swaths of the left in Europe believe what Ta-Nehisi Coates believes.
00:02:02.000So Ta-Nehisi Coates, just so that you know who he is and the reason why he's important, again, this is a person who's considered perhaps the leading intellectual light of the left in the United States, for sure.
00:02:14.000And Ta-Nehisi Coates, he was questioned, as we say, on CBS News because he has a new book out called The Message.
00:02:20.000And this book, The Message, is basically just a rabid screed about how evil Israel is.
00:02:25.000Now, prior to that, he'd used the same exact worldview to talk about how evil the United States is.
00:02:30.000But the thing that's setting people's hair on fire is what he said in an interview with former alleged comedian Trevor Noah.
00:02:37.000So here he was justifying the October attacks and saying that were he a Palestinian, he himself might have entered Israel and saw men, women, children engaged in...
00:02:48.000Who knows? Here is Ta-Nehisi Coates explaining.
00:02:52.000And I haven't said this out loud, but I think about it a lot.
00:02:56.000Well, I... 20 years old, born into Gaza, which is a giant open-air jail.
00:03:05.000And what I mean by that is if my father is a fisherman and he goes too far out into the sea, he might get shot by somebody off of, you know, inside of Israeli boats.
00:03:15.000If my mother picks the olive trees and she gets too close to the wall, she might be shot.
00:03:21.000If my little sister has, you know, cancer and she needs treatment because there are no, you know, facilities to do that in Gaza and I don't get the right permit, she might die.
00:03:30.000And I grow up under that oppression and that poverty and the wall comes down.
00:03:35.000Am I also strong enough or even constructed in such a way where I say, this is too far.
00:04:15.000In fact, Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, was in jail and the Israelis treated him for
00:04:20.000brain cancer, healed him and then released him.
00:04:23.000When he's talking about people being shot for picking olive trees.
00:04:26.000No, if you get too close to the no-man's land in the border area and you refuse to obey orders, then you are taking risk in your own hands.
00:04:33.000Put aside all of that. Listen to the simple insanity of what he is saying.
00:04:37.000He is justifying the massacres of October because they are the quote-unquote victims.
00:04:42.000So Ta-Nehisi Coates spends a lot of time justifying the unjustifiable.
00:04:45.000Something else unjustifiable, paying the kinds of money that you are paying to the big phone providers.
00:04:50.000Every year when Apple releases the new iPhone, the big carriers play those same old games.
00:04:53.000Sign your life away for the next two years.
00:04:55.000Get a free iPhone. Don't fall for that one.
00:04:57.000With PureTalk, you can get great savings on the new iPhone 16, and you can still get an affordable data plan that fits your needs on America's most dependable 5G network.
00:05:04.000How would I know? Because I have the new iPhone 16 from PureTalk.
00:05:07.000Bottom line, stop falling into the same traps and overpaying for data you're not going to use.
00:05:10.000With PureTalk, for just $35 a month, get a limited talk, text, and 15 gigs of data, plus mobile hotspot on America's most dependable 5G network.
00:05:17.000Here's the best part. When you switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk on a qualifying plan, you get one year free of Daily Wire Plus Insider.
00:05:23.000That's access to our full library of DW Plus movies, series, and documentaries, including Lady Ballers, What is a Woman, Mr.
00:05:57.000And when he is justifying terrorism, what he is really doing is saying that if you are a member of a victim class, a class that he, as a self-appointed prophet, gets to define, if you are a member of a victim class, you have the right, nay, perhaps the obligation, to engage in full-scale violence and terrorism.
00:06:15.000What Ta-Nehisi Coates says there about Gazan civilians crossing the border and engaging in murder of children, what he says there could very easily be applied to the of white Americans under his own worldview, under his own rubric.
00:06:33.000And this is the amazing thing. There's nothing new here, by the way.
00:06:59.000If you're a member of a victim class, you should be able to do violence to people who are members of the quote-unquote victimizer class.
00:07:06.000And again, anybody who's a member of a quote-unquote victim class, according to Ta-Nehisi Coates, has literally no agency.
00:07:12.000And if you're a member of a victimizer class, according to Ta-Nehisi Coates, you deserve violence to be done to you and your children.
00:07:19.000And again, this is part of a broader worldview that applies to the United States.
00:07:22.000And this is the part that's so sick about what's happening in the United States.
00:07:24.000This worldview has been taken into the bones of the left.
00:07:28.000This used to be a fringe crazy town worldview.
00:07:31.000Jean-Paul Sartre was not representative of the party of, say, Hubert Humphrey in the United States in 1968.
00:07:37.000But Ta-Nehisi Coates is a lauded, celebrated, champagne-drenched intellectual in the pages of The Atlantic.
00:07:46.000He is treated as though he has something important to say.
00:07:49.000So I want to trace his ideology a little bit here, because then you'll understand that what he's saying about Israel is really not about Israel at all.
00:07:55.000So, He comes out with a book called Between the World and Me.
00:07:59.000That book comes out in the year 2015, right in the middle of the racial reckoning.
00:08:04.000Because after all, Ferguson happened in 2014.
00:08:08.000And this is his worldview, Ta-Nehisi Coates.
00:08:11.000Okay, he says about experiencing, his big example of experiencing racism in the United States is that one time he was on an elevator and someone said something to his child, and this was a telescoping of all America's racist history into an incident on an elevator in New York.
00:08:26.000Okay, here's what he writes in Between the World and Me.
00:08:44.000And there was my own insecurity and my ability to protect your black body and more.
00:08:48.000There was my sense that this woman was pulling rank.
00:08:51.000I knew, for instance, that she would not have pushed a black child out on my part of Flatbush because she would be afraid there and would sense, if not know, that there would be a penalty for such an action.
00:08:59.000But I was not out on my part of Flatbush.
00:10:08.000So what does that mean for Ta-Nehisi Coates?
00:10:10.000It means, for example, that he doesn't give a s*** about 9-11.
00:10:14.000He actually says this in between the world and me.
00:10:16.000It is beyond comprehension that this country grants the worldview of people like Ta-Nehisi Coates any time of day at all, let alone making this person a celebrated author.
00:11:05.000Black, white, or whatever, they were menaces of nature.
00:11:08.000They were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could, with no justification, shatter my body.
00:11:14.000Now, he uses, throughout his writing, the term body, because he believes, I assume, that if he says body as opposed to me, then this makes it have more import, because now it's all about the physical being of black people or something.
00:11:29.000In reality, it is just a cheap way of trying to buy literary cred.
00:11:34.000But he then explains in an interview with New York Magazine that same year that the death of one particular black person at the hands of police so alienated Coates, this is New York Magazine, that when he watched 9-11 slightly stoned on the roof of his Brooklyn building, he recalls that he felt nothing at all.
00:11:52.000You must always remember, Coates writes to his child, that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions, all land with great violence upon the body.
00:12:03.000This is the setting up of a victim class that is then justified in doing literally anything.
00:12:25.000You don't deserve to be living off the fruits of the civilization that you are currently leeching off of, which is what Ta-Nehisi Coates is.
00:12:31.000He is a scavenger. He is a leech on the body of civilization, of Western civilization.
00:12:36.000Frankly, thinking about Ta-Nehisi Coates is not great for my health.
00:12:39.000There are a lot of things that, in fact, are not great for your health.
00:12:42.000One of them is, God forbid, natural disaster hits, and you can't have access to the medicines you need.
00:12:46.000This is why you need the wellness company.
00:12:49.000We've seen a bunch of natural disasters lately from the Maui Fires, Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton.
00:12:53.000Those catastrophic disasters are taking out entire towns.
00:12:55.000So what if you actually don't have the medicine you need?
00:12:59.000Well, that's why you need to head on over to the wellness company because being prepared in advance is your best defense against the unexpected.
00:13:06.000The wellness company's emergency kits completely remove the gatekeeper.
00:13:09.000They subside panic by providing you with a personalized mini pharmacy in the convenience of your own home.
00:14:36.000I think that evil constantly masquerades as simplicity in cases like this.
00:14:40.000So here is what he says about reparations in between the world and me.
00:14:43.000Quote, In the months before the article was published, I felt that I had at last discovered the answer to the haunting question of why my people so reliably settled at the bottom of nearly every socioeconomic indicator.
00:14:54.000There it is, very simple. The persistence of our want was matched exactly to the persistence of our plunder.
00:14:59.000I was blessed with the gift, and the gift was not simply the knowledge that they were lying about us, about this country, about themselves, but the proof.
00:15:10.000That is simple. Failure equals victimization.
00:15:13.000Group failure equals group victimization.
00:15:15.000Now, the problem for Tonhasi Coates is that there are an awful lot of members of groups in the United States and elsewhere who have been historically victimized.
00:15:23.000One of those groups happens to be the Jews, which, as we'll see, is one of the reasons he despises Israel was to see it wiped off the planet and justifies October.
00:15:30.000It turns out that when other victimized groups In history and today, succeed, this thwarts his entire victim-victimizer narrative.
00:15:39.000When it turns out that people of any race act with agency and overcome historic obstacles in order to succeed, it violates his entire worldview in which victims have no agency and victimizers are necessarily victorious, which means, by the same sort of equation, that everybody who is an achiever is in fact a victimizer.
00:15:58.000And he makes this clear, fast forward 10 years, and you're now in the message.
00:16:02.000Okay, the message is his new book, the one that we are supposed to treat as though it deserves some sort of great moral respect.
00:16:07.000In this book, he writes, quote, I remember watching World News Tonight with my father and deriving from him a dull sense that the Israelis were white and the Palestinians were black, which is to say that the former were the oppressors and the latter are the oppressed.
00:17:01.000So he says about Israel, So again, he is just telescoping Jim Crow onto Israel, which is absurd, since 20% of the Israeli population is Arab.
00:17:27.000Half of Israeli Jews are from Arab countries and therefore not white in any technical sense.
00:17:37.000The reason it's important is because Ta-Nehisi Coates, as a lauded intellectual, is not actually just speaking for himself.
00:17:43.000He is representative of a much broader contingent in the American left.
00:17:48.000As evidenced by the fact that Trevor Noah is sitting there and nodding at him.
00:17:51.000So Trevor Noah, who had a show for years on Comedy Central, where I'm not sure he ever told an actual joke, not only does he sit there and nod at Ta-Nehisi Coates as he says these truly evil things, he then explains that October is basically like the American Revolution, which is strange, since George Washington and the colonials did not, in fact, travel to Britain, babies in their crib, every British woman they could find.
00:18:26.000If you remove every context from everything, then everything could go anywhere.
00:18:31.000You know what I mean? If you remove America's history and America's this, then it's like, yeah, those people who fought against the British, they were terrorists.
00:18:40.000You know what I mean? You can call it like, yeah, the Boston Tea Party.
00:18:43.000That's terrorism. Okay, so we are now back to one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
00:18:50.000This was an argument actually made by people like Michael Moore during the insurgency in Iraq.
00:18:54.000This has been a deep-rooted part of left-wing ideology for a very long time.
00:19:00.000Anyone who attacks the West is then necessarily victimized by the West and good.
00:19:04.000And here's the thing. It is indistinguishable in many ways from the ideology of somebody like Barack Obama who is actually President of the United States.
00:19:11.000I'll read you a quote. It's a quote from either Ta-Nehisi Coates or Barack Obama, you choose.
00:19:15.000Quote, I know, I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless, how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi, how easily they slip into violence and despair.
00:19:27.000He compares those, by the way, to the south side of Chicago.
00:19:30.000That would be Barack Obama. Indistinguishable from the words of Ta-Nehisi Coates.
00:19:34.000You see, all those kids in Indonesia or in Kenya, exactly the same south side of Chicago or in the Gaza Strip, these are all members of a victim class.
00:19:45.000These are all members of a victim class, according to Barack Obama.
00:19:49.000That ideology is spread throughout the Democratic Party and throughout our legacy media, which is why it is now emerging, for example, That apparently, 2023, CBS News informed people, informed its own journalists, that you should not, under any circumstances, use the term terrorism to actually describe what happened on October.
00:22:51.000That is the generalized worldview here.
00:22:55.000It is hideous, it is evil, it is dangerous.
00:23:00.000And again, it is not in any way anomalous.
00:23:03.000It is not an anomaly with Ta-Nehisi Coates is saying.
00:23:07.000There are people across America who actually believe it.
00:23:10.000They're largely on our college campuses, in the legacy media, in cloistered enclaves in New York City, in San Francisco, in Los Angeles, in Chicago.
00:23:17.000But that is a very powerful cadre of people who believe that.
00:23:21.000And it's quite terrible. And it is intolerable for a country that hopes at some point for some level of unity, for a country that wishes to defend itself, for a civilization that is worth defending.
00:23:37.000By the way, the aftermath of the Ta-Nehisi Coates interview on CBS News, which we've talked about this week, the one where he was questioned by a journalist, the aftermath of that is that CBS News, after that interview between Tony Dacapol and Coates, They didn't just bring in Dacapol for a struggle session in front of the entire legacy media staff at CBS News.
00:23:59.000They then promptly informed all of their journalists they should stop identifying Jerusalem as being part of Israel, despite the fact that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
00:24:08.000Because you see, to acknowledge basic facts and truth runs counter.
00:24:11.000And there are a lot of people today who are saying, well, you know, Ta-Nehisi Coates, he just makes a bunch of factual errors in his book.
00:24:18.000He doesn't care enough to find out whether it's true or not, because facts are irrelevant.
00:24:22.000Remember, if you're a member of the victim class, it's not just that you get to murder.
00:24:26.000If you're a member of a victim class, according to Ta-Nehisi Coates, you get to lie.
00:24:31.000Why wouldn't you? After all, it's just a power game.
00:24:35.000That worldview is evil with a capital E, and we shouldn't forget it.
00:24:39.000There are lots of disagreements we can have in politics, lots of them in the West.
00:24:43.000We can disagree about tax rates. We can disagree about the role of government in our lives in terms of subsidies and in terms of regulation.
00:24:51.000We can disagree in terms of foreign policy, who ought to be backed and to what extent.
00:24:57.000What is not a rational conversation is the assumption that if you are a member of a class that Ta-Nehisi Coates deems a victim, you get to participate in evil.
00:25:06.000And we can tell whether you're a victim in this rubric simply by looking at your level of failure and poverty.
00:25:14.000That is a cudgel. And huge parts of the left are wielding it today.
00:25:20.000Okay, meanwhile, the Kamala Harris campaign is suffering.
00:25:24.000They are having a really tough time out there.
00:25:26.000As we'll see in a moment, they are now trotting out Barack Obama in all of his glory to do this routine.
00:25:32.000The levels of missteps by this campaign are truly incredible at this point.
00:25:36.000So if you take a look at the swing states right now, Right now, in the RealClearPolitics polling average nationally, Harris is up a couple of points, but in the swing states, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump now has a slight lead in Pennsylvania, a bigger lead, actually, in Michigan.
00:25:51.000He leads in Arizona, he leads in North Carolina, he leads in Georgia.
00:25:55.000And now remember, all he has to do is win North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, which he's going to win all three of those, and then he has to pick off one of the blue wall states.
00:26:02.000Right now, he's leading in at least two, and perhaps all three.
00:26:06.000In fact, there's internal polling that President Trump just released.
00:26:09.000There's a poll conducted by Tony Fabrizio and John McLaughlin, and it found Trump with leads ranging from one to five percentage points, not only in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, but also in Nevada.
00:26:21.000According to that internal polling, Trump is leading by 3% in Arizona.
00:26:27.000He's leading by three in Nevada, one in North Carolina, one in Pennsylvania, one in Wisconsin.
00:26:32.000Now again, these are all within margin of error.
00:26:34.000It's still a very close election, but it is very obvious that the momentum is with the Republicans at this point.
00:26:40.000The New York Times is now admitting that Republicans are about to gain control of the Senate.
00:26:44.000And they are. I mean, they're going to gain control of the Senate because Jim Justice is going to win in West Virginia, and Tim Sheehy is going to win in Montana.
00:26:51.000And then it's just a question of how many swing seats Republicans can pick up.
00:26:55.000So yesterday, I spent time campaigning with Bernie Moreno in Ohio.
00:26:58.000Bernie is going to win that Senate seat over Sherry Brown, who's a terrible senator and has been there longer than I have been alive, picking up taxpayer money.
00:28:27.000With the crazy news cycle, all the travel I've been doing recently, the device is a lifesaver.
00:28:30.000It takes my unique metabolic data and crafts a personalized nutrition plan for every day

00:28:57.000L-U-M-E-N dot M-E. Use code Shapiro for 15% off your purchase of this awesome thing.
00:29:04.000But even the New York Times is now admitting that Republicans are poised to take control of the Senate.
00:29:08.000And the latest polling from the New York Times and Siena College shows Republicans leading by four in Texas, that's Cruz over Allred, by eight in Montana, where she is blowing out John Tester.
00:29:19.000Rick Scott is beating Debbie MacArthur Powell by nine points, according to this same polling.
00:29:26.000So it looks very much as though Republicans are in control in the Senate races.
00:29:32.000There is one race that's sort of weird, and that is the re-election bid of Senator Deb Fischer, Republican of Nebraska.
00:29:37.000She's running against an independent named Dan Osborne, and that one is looking a little tighter than it probably should.
00:29:43.000But Democrats certainly do not have the momentum at this point in time, and they're basically admitting it.
00:29:48.000According to Politico, Democrats are deploying prominent black surrogates to Michigan to deliver an urgent plea.
00:30:25.000And I have to say, the way that he talks to black men, as though membership, again, in the black category means you inherently have to vote for the other black person, is really pretty insulting.
00:30:52.000But according to Barack Obama, you need to vote for Kamala because Kamala is a member of your victim class.
00:31:00.000We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all courts.
00:31:09.000Of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running.
00:31:15.000Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.
00:31:25.000So if you don't mind, just for a second, I'm going to speak to y'all right now.
00:31:32.000And say that when you have a choice that is this clean, When on the one hand you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences.
00:32:07.000Notice that at no point does he actually make an argument that she's going to make your life better or be a good president of the United States.
00:32:12.000He simply says she's a member of your victim class.
00:32:14.000If she's a member of your victim class, you better get out there and vote for a member of your victim class.
00:32:17.000That's why I say Ta-Nehisi Coates, Barack Obama, separated by some of their lingo, not particularly separated in terms of their worldview.
00:32:24.000It turns out that's really off-putting.
00:32:26.000People don't like it very much. It also turns out that you know what's off-putting?
00:32:29.000The absolute disdain that members of the upper echelon of the Democratic Party have for normies.
00:32:37.000They're running a campaign where they need to win a blue wall state.
00:32:39.000All three of these states are blue collar.
00:32:43.000All three of these states have probably a higher than average number of, say, Catholics.
00:32:47.000That's true certainly for Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
00:32:50.000And yet, Gretchen Whitmer, who is the awful governor of Michigan, she cut a video yesterday with a podcaster named Liz Plank that if this wasn't what they're going for, I don't know what they're going for.
00:33:03.000This is It is pretty clearly a derogatory reference to communion.
00:33:08.000I'm not sure how else to read this exactly.
00:33:11.000There have been some attempts to say this is just a meme that's going around, but for those who are not memesters, I mean, you talk about it too online.
00:33:18.000This looks as though Gretchen Whitmer is mocking communion by Liz Plank is on her knees, and weird, weird, these people are weird, on her knees, receiving into her mouth a Dorito put into her mouth by Gretchen Whitmer, who's wearing a Harris Walls hat.
00:33:35.000The disdain for kind of normal people that rolls off the Democratic Party at this point is truly an incredible thing.
00:33:40.000Here we go. For those who can't see, it's Liz Plank accepting into her mouth, a la communion, a Dorito from Gretchen Whitmer, who's wearing a Harris Walls hat and then nodding into camera.
00:33:54.000It's like a dom-sub-weird thing going on.
00:34:04.000I mean, if you're a Catholic and you watch that, I don't know how else you read that, except that Gretchen Whitmer shane hot on the Catholics.
00:34:10.000The religious symbolism there, pretty obvious, I think, to anyone.
00:34:14.000Meanwhile, how do you really know that Democrats are in trouble?
00:34:17.000Tim Walz is out there openly saying they should get rid of the Electoral College.
00:34:21.000When you are in an active race for the presidency and you say we should dump the Electoral College, you're admitting you're losing.
00:34:26.000That's what that is. You're admitting that you might win the popular vote and lose the Electoral College vote.
00:34:30.000That's the only reason you want to dump the Electoral College.
00:34:33.000You want to change the rules of the game.
00:34:34.000So here's Tim Walz being made uncomfortable, being asked a tough question.
00:34:38.000This is how bad journalism has gotten.
00:34:40.000Apparently the toughest journalist they could find was Michael Strahan.
00:34:44.000One of the few people to ask a difficult question of a Democrat during this election cycle.
00:34:49.000I want to go back to something you said on Tuesday.
00:34:51.000You said, I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go.
00:34:54.000But the campaign came out later that night, and they said that's not their stance.
00:34:59.000Well, it's not the campaign's position.
00:35:00.000And the point I'm trying to make is that there's folks that feel every vote must count in every state.
00:35:05.000And I think some of folks feel that's not the case.
00:35:14.000The campaign's position is clear, that that's not their position.
00:35:17.000Their position and my position is to make sure that everybody understands their vote no matter what state they're in matters.
00:35:23.000So that's something that you and President Harris disagree on?
00:35:26.000I have spoken about it in the past that she's been very clear on this and the campaign and my position is the campaign's position.
00:35:34.000So, there he is trying to walk it back.
00:35:36.000Well, he is a numbskull, as he has declared himself.
00:35:38.000In a second, we'll get to Barack Obama, his actual campaign, which apparently is making jokes about Donald Trump and then taking credit for Donald Trump's actual accomplishments.
00:35:46.000First, Kamala Harris has raised over $1 billion since she entered the race in late July, which makes her the Theranos of political candidates.
00:35:54.000You know, a woman elevated above her actual...
00:35:58.000above her actual credibility and actual accomplishments, but given lots and lots of money.
00:36:04.000Even seasoned experts are saying that Harris's fundraising is unlike anything
00:36:08.000While Democrats are raking in cash to push their radical agenda,
00:36:10.000the conservative movement is being outspent and silenced, but we are fighting back.

00:36:43.000Also, this Sunday we are releasing a brand new episode of the Sunday Special with Vince Everett Ellison.
00:36:47.000Vince Everett Ellison is a political commentator, author, documentarian on the intersection of American politics, race, and religion.
00:36:53.000In this episode, we discuss the Democrats' most depraved policies, Donald Trump's appeal to black voters, and how humility can be found in religious faith.
00:36:59.000Here's a little bit of the trailer. Until we teach our children that we have to jettison this silly, ignorant ideology, that I can only feel good about myself, If I'm loved by white Americans, and I can only be protected or affirmed if I'm protected and affirmed by my government, we will never go any further.
00:37:20.000If we can ever get that sizable chunk, about 15% of the Black vote, away from the Democratic Party, we'll take them down forever.
00:37:28.000And I believe that Black men are not going to go back to Ms.
00:37:30.000Harris. Don't miss this awesome episode of the Sunday Special with Vince Everett Ellison.
00:37:41.000So again, Barack Obama is out on the campaign trail in favor of Kamala Harris.
00:37:45.000He's trying to convince young black men to vote for Kamala Harris.
00:37:48.000He did that by going to some sort of event and then telling them they need to vote for Kamala Harris because she's black and they're black, so vote for her.
00:37:55.000He also suggested, of course, they might be sexist, and that's the reason they're really not voting for her, that if she were a black male, maybe they'd vote for her, but she's a black female and they're misogynist.
00:38:02.000So we'll see how that works out for him.
00:38:04.000He also went on the campaign trail and then proceeded to be himself.
00:38:07.000And I gotta tell you, the power of Barack Obama is non-transferable.
00:38:12.000He has never shown any aptitude for transferring that popularity to anyone who's not named Barack Obama, which is why, over the course of his presidency, he lost a dozen governorships.
00:38:20.000He lost a ton of Senate seats. He lost an enormous number of House seats and state legislatures all over the country.
00:38:24.000It turns out that the backlash to Barack Obama did not come in the form of a direct electoral backlash to Obama himself.
00:38:30.000It came in the form of, you know, a backlash to his entire party.
00:38:34.000So he's out there being himself, and it's not...
00:38:37.000I don't think it's particularly great for Kamala Harris, frankly.
00:38:40.000So first, he tries to claim Trump's economy as his own, which is pretty amazing.
00:39:33.000I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time.
00:39:41.000Okay, so I just want to get this straight.
00:39:42.000If that's the case, that the next president owns the economy of the last president, so you know the last president is responsible for the successes, how do you tap Biden's record?
00:39:53.000So, if according to Barack Obama, Donald Trump's early economic record is because of Barack Obama, then what about Joe Biden touting his economic record?
00:40:09.000And then he told some jokes about how Donald Trump is selling Bibles or something.
00:40:14.000Again, here's the thing about Barack Obama.
00:40:16.000If you're going to do the Donald Trump is a con man because he's selling Bibles, you probably should have some respect for the actual Bible, which they think Barack Obama most certainly does not.
00:40:23.000There's not a single aspect of biblical morality that Barack Obama really truly believes.
00:41:12.000Well, I mean, at least Donald Trump's fans want to buy the Bible, as opposed to fans of Barack Obama who apparently want to discard it entirely.
00:41:19.000He's a guy who called people who believe in God and the Bible bitter clingers.
00:41:23.000So yeah, forgive me if I don't take your newfound biblical respect all that seriously.
00:41:27.000And then, of course, Barack Obama roasted Trump, suggesting that he has to change his own diapers because Donald Trump is, of course, really old, which is weird because five seconds ago he was saying Joe Biden was the best candidate for president.
00:41:36.000By the way, Joe Biden's still the president.
00:42:28.000It is amazing that he was a two-term president in the United States, but, you know, it was under Barack Obama that the country really started to come apart.
00:42:34.000In any case, the Biden-Harris-Walls campaign, it's all one big blob at this point.
00:42:39.000They continue to fail on every front, and everyone can see that they continue to fail on every front.
00:42:45.000It is amazing how Joe Biden, who's currently president of the United States, is looking for someone else to blame on the lackluster performance by FEMA in the face of two separate hurricanes.
00:42:54.000So Joe Biden is now out there saying that Donald Trump is un-American for how he's talking about Joe Biden's efforts on hurricane relief, which is weird because I remember the entire Democratic Party suggesting that George W. Bush was a vicious racist during Hurricane Katrina.
00:43:08.000We're providing now to make sure people have the emergency relief they need, the dollars just to be able to get a prescription filled, to get a baby formula done.
00:43:16.000All the things, that $750 that they're talking about, that Mr.
00:43:21.000Trump and all those other people know, it's a lie to suggest that's all they're going to get.
00:43:28.000It's bizarre. They've got to stop this.
00:43:31.000I mean, they're being so damn un-American with the way they're talking about this stuff.
00:43:35.000But there's going to be a need for significant amounts of money.
00:43:38.000We're already underway at trying to calculate what the cost will be because we don't want to mislead anybody.
00:43:43.000We want to make sure all the costs are able to be covered.
00:43:47.000I don't want to hear about people calling each other an American from this guy.
00:43:50.000This guy who stood in front of Independence Hall and suggested that all of his political opponents were dire threats to the exact fabric of the United States.
00:43:56.000Incredible. Then, of course, Joe Biden suggested that the reasons for lack of funding by FEMA, with all due speed, that's because Congress needs to allocate more money.
00:44:07.000On FEMA funding, how much time does Congress have to act before FEMA or the SBA run out of money?
00:45:09.000That leaves, by my calculation, you know, like $11 billion you guys have not allocated yet.
00:45:14.000That's a lot of money. So you might want to allocate that now.
00:45:17.000Congress can come back in two weeks and refill the fund.
00:45:19.000That's what Speaker Johnson is saying, and he's correct.
00:45:21.000Was it a mistake to leave and adjourn the Congress for the campaign trail without addressing more disaster relief funding given the circumstances that we now find ourselves in?
00:45:35.000Well, the fact is I think many people have not fully understood is that we did address it and we did appropriate 20 billion additional dollars to FEMA with early drawdown authority.
00:45:45.000So they're sitting on a giant pile of cash and they haven't used it yet.
00:45:56.000Meanwhile, Kamala Harris keeps trying to claim credit for some reason for this hurricane.
00:46:00.000She keeps trying to insert herself in the process.
00:46:02.000And Ron DeSantis in Florida, he keeps saying, you have nothing to do with anything.
00:46:05.000Why are you even like, what do you have to do with anything?
00:46:07.000What are you doing here? The fact of the matter is they put out a story saying I didn't take, I didn't even know she was trying to reach me, but she has no role in this process.
00:46:17.000And I've been dealing with these storms in Florida under both Trump and Biden.
00:46:24.000And in fact, all the storms I've dealt with under this administration, although I've worked well with the president, She has never called in Florida.
00:47:24.000Go to thecandleclub.com slash Ben today.
00:47:27.000Joining us online is Philip Patrick, precious metal specialist over at Birch Gold Group.
00:47:31.000Of course, Birch Gold is a sponsor of the show.
00:47:33.000Philip, thanks so much for joining the show.
00:47:34.000Really appreciate it. Thank you for having me.
00:47:38.000So let's talk about the upcoming election.
00:47:42.000Obviously, if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were to win their economic plan, it looks like it would lead to a certain level of economic stagnation for a certain.
00:47:50.000What do we actually know about their economic plan?
00:47:51.000She's been pretty vague on them. She certainly has, and I think it's been by design.
00:47:57.000She's mostly been talking in vague abstractions about making the economy fair while floating trial balloons her focus groups have come up with.
00:48:06.000So it is hard to pin down any cogent policy.
00:48:09.000We only know, I think, a handful of things.
00:48:12.000It means more taxes and a whole lot more spending.
00:48:17.000So, Philip, you know, when you look at that spending, what exactly are Kamala Harris's fiscal priorities?
00:48:23.000I mean, if we keep spending this way, what are the natural sort of impacts of that?
00:48:27.000The reality is, from what we can see, her proposal is Bidenomics 2.0.
00:48:32.000Literally, she's promising to spend $2 for every dollar Biden wanted to spend.
00:48:37.000We're talking, you know, Biden wanted a $25,000 in down payment assistance for first generation.
00:48:43.000Homebuyers, Camilla wants it for first generation or for homebuyers full stop first time.
00:48:49.000Biden proposed a $20 billion fund for affordable housing.
00:49:02.000So my question is, why are we targeting successful households
00:49:07.000rather than reigning in spending, right?
00:49:10.000If we're talking about the tax increases that she's proposed, they would generate about $900 billion over the next 10 years.
00:49:18.000Debt service payments this year alone are going to cost $950 billion.
00:49:23.000So I think they're stepping over dollars to pickpocket cents, and I don't think it's going to work.
00:49:30.000Philip, that's a great point, and it's a point that really I think people need to take into account.
00:49:33.000When Kamala Harris is talking about increasing taxes so as to supposedly lower deficits, the reality is that if you actually were interested in lowering deficits or lowering the national debt, the kind of taxes she's talking about simply would not even make a dent in the kinds of deficit and debt that she's talking about.
00:49:49.000So what you're really doing is you are pursuing policies that are likely to lead to less economic growth, more economic stagnation, and they're not even going to solve the problem of government revenue.
00:51:09.000It does mean, I think, higher prices up front, right?
00:51:13.000You know, every Target, every Walmart sells goods made in China.
00:51:16.000But for me, it's about longer-term prospects, you know, shorter-term pain for longer-term gain.
00:51:22.000And I don't think we've had a president willing to do that since Reagan.
00:51:26.000So, you know, we've got a tough storm to weather no matter what.
00:51:30.000But I think Trump and Vance will set us up for a brighter future for sure.
00:51:36.000I'm talking with Philip Patrick, Precious Metal Specialist, Birch Gold Group.
00:51:39.000So one of the things that's been happening is that global central banks have been buying record quantities of gold.
00:51:44.000They obviously are not feeling particularly sanguine about the future of growth because what they're looking at, and I think what everybody's looking at, is if you can't pay off this debt, there's only one way out of that, really.
00:51:53.000You're not going to be able to tax your way out of that.
00:51:55.000I mean, that's the only way to essentially pay down a debt is to inflate your dollar.
00:52:00.000As you say, the debt servicing on the American national debt right now, that's going to outpace, it already outpaces our military budget every year.
00:52:07.000And it's only going to grow from here.
00:52:12.000It's unsustainable. And by pushing massive spending, we're showing the world that, you know, we're not valuing our US dollar.
00:52:20.000If I'm a central bank around the world holding dollars, watching the US spending money like it's going out of fashion, it starts to become a problem.
00:52:28.000And central banks have been hedging dollar exposure using gold.
00:52:31.000For the last two and a half years, they've set records for gold purchasing.
00:52:36.000So central banks around the world are betting against the dollar for the reason that you mentioned.
00:52:41.000I think there's only one way out of this if we continue down the path of spending.
00:52:46.000So I think precious metals are important for institutions to hedge dollar exposure, but I think important for individuals as well.
00:52:54.000Well, folks, obviously, we here at Daily Wear have been working with Birch Gold for a very long time.
