Transgender Day of Visibility is a day of visibility for people who identify as no gender other than their biological sex. On Easter Sunday, President Joe Biden and the White House celebrated the day with a big pink tweet and a big blue tweet about trans people who are brave enough to identify as nonbinary or genderqueer. They should be treated with dignity and respect, the president says, because they are brave people who don t belong in their own biological sex and are willing to risk their lives to be seen by others as they see themselves. They are brave because they believe they are not the biological sex they are supposed to be. And they are courageous because they know that they should be seen as someone else's biological sex, even if that other sex is not their biological or gender identity. And that's why they should have a day where they can be seen, not just by others, but by their own family, friends, and the rest of the world. And why they deserve the same rights as everyone else. and why they are worthy of them if they don t have them, they won t be brave enough because they will die trying to live up to the standard set by their gender identity or at least be recognized as someone who belongs with the opposite sex no matter who they are . in the pantheon of American bravery of which Joe Biden is a member a hero who is a hero? is not a hero, but a villain at least he s a hero to his own country but a human rights activist he sister that s a good friend not a bad boy so he s . . . and he s worthy of our respect and dignity we can be a hero. ... And he s good enough to be included in our pantheon , right? and a good girl ? Thank you, Joe Biden, for being a hero and a warrior for standing up for us to be brave and fighting for us, and for being brave and standing up to be heard and for our dignity and dignity and equality even when we don t get to choose who we choose to be a better version of ourselves on the other side this is a good day in history, and we all have a chance to be noticed, and to have a voice
00:00:00.000Sunday was a deeply religious day for the Biden administration.
00:00:03.000They celebrated a religion celebrated by so many across the country.
00:00:07.000The religion of deep, insane progressivism.
00:00:10.000So, of course, Sunday was Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar.
00:00:14.000And the Biden administration decided it was deeply necessary for them to put out a bunch of messaging over the weekend, including on Easter Sunday, about the trans day of visibility.
00:00:23.000So, To explain what the hell the Trans Day of Visibility is, you have to understand that it's one of many, many, like dozens, of holidays all around the world about the trans peoples, about people who are gender dysphoric or who believe that they are members of the opposite sex.
00:00:39.000This holiday was founded by a person named Rachel Crandall Crocker, a psychotherapist, because that's the way that the psychotherapy industry now works.
00:00:48.000This person says that he knew he was trans since the age of eight, and now the President of the United States pays homage to people like Rachel Crandall Crocker.
00:00:58.000Here is a clip of Rachel Crandall Crocker explaining his origin story here.
00:01:03.000I tried to come out to my parents when I was eight years old, okay?
00:01:24.000Well, I mean, I can imagine it not going particularly well.
00:01:27.000Joe Biden then put out a statement on Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:01:31.000Which again, I don't even know what that means, Day of Visibility.
00:01:33.000Because if there's one thing we know about transgender people in modern America, people who believe they're members of the opposite sex, they don't get enough attention.
00:01:58.000And my entire administration and I have your back.
00:02:00.000Joe Biden continues, Now, therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31st, 2024 as Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:02:13.000I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.
00:02:22.000Gender identity is, of course, the nonsense notion that you can identify as something other than what you are.
00:02:29.000In witness whereof, I have heretofore set my hand this 29th day of March in the year of our Lord, 2024, and of independence of the United States of America, the 248th.
00:02:39.000So my favorite part of this is where Joe Biden mentions the year of our Lord.
00:02:46.000Because we all keep the Christian calendar.
00:02:49.000I like that part where he mentions the year of our Lord on Easter, which again is the holiest day in the Christian calendar, to celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:02:59.000The president also put up a bunch of tweets along these lines to celebrate.
00:03:37.000And then running a distant second is 18-year-old boys charging the beaches of Normandy on behalf of the allies.
00:03:43.000I mean, like, they really shouldn't even be in the same category.
00:03:46.000I mean, we know where the real bravery is.
00:03:48.000Joe Biden says today, we show millions of transgender and non-binary Americans, not just transgender people, people who identify as no gender or between the genders, that we see them.
00:04:21.000on Easter, again, on Easter, the holiest day in the Christian... I'm not going to say this enough.
00:04:26.000This is the holiest day in the Christian calendar.
00:04:29.000I'm just going to point out that the perspective of the Biden administration when it comes to holy days on the calendar goes something like this.
00:04:34.000You're not allowed to kill terrorists during Ramadan, because if you do, it'll offend Muslims, but you are certainly allowed to pay homage to the notion that men can be women on Easter.
00:04:45.000That's how different religions are treated by this White House.
00:04:47.000So President Biden puts out a tweet, quote, today on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans.
00:05:02.000It's literally in the same verse in Genesis.
00:05:05.000My favorite part when Joe Biden says things like, you're made in the image of God, the final part of that verse is, male and female he made them.
00:05:15.000Just read to the end of the sentence, my dude.
00:05:18.000In any case, The religion of this administration obviously is not Christianity, or even some sort of broader secular version of Christian values.
00:05:26.000It is, in fact, just wild progressivism.
00:05:29.000We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:05:30.000First, the cost of living has already increased 17% this year.
00:05:34.000It continues to rise despite interest rate controls.
00:05:36.000As our national debt continues to skyrocket, you need to be confident in the financial services companies you work with, especially regarding your future and your money.

00:06:30.000The best part is, it doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket.
00:06:36.000According to Fox News, children of the National Guard were prohibited from submitting religious Easter egg designs for the 2024 Celebrating National Guard Families art event at the White House.
00:06:46.000So, it's Easter, and people were painting crosses on eggs, and Joe Biden's like, no, none of that.
00:06:52.000The only symbols we'll allow here are, like, the Pride Progress flag flying from the giant rotunda of the White House.
00:06:59.000The ARD contest is part of the White House's Easter traditions, which include the annual Easter egg roll.
00:07:03.000The flyer for the contest states that an Easter egg design submission quote, must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.
00:07:11.000So, just gonna point out that if you, I assume that if you put trans flag colors on the Easter egg, totally fine.
00:07:16.000That is not a partisan political statement.
00:07:19.000It is not a piece of questionable content or religious symbol.
00:07:23.000You just have to make sure that everything is, you know, on the up and up with the secular left.
00:07:29.000That is the religion of this White House.
00:07:31.000By the way, this isn't just the White House.
00:07:33.000Kathy Hochul decided over the weekend that it was very important to light up buildings in New York in the trans colors.
00:07:39.000According to Colin Rugg, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered that New York landmarks be lit up in transgender flag colors on Easter Sunday.
00:07:46.000She issued a proclamation declaring March 31st, 2024, Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:07:50.000The landmarks that are now apparently transed are Niagara Falls, One World Trade Center, Empire State Plaza, I'm not sure how to pronounce this.
00:08:09.000It's very important that everyone across the land know that men who believe that they are women are in fact women.
00:08:15.000And Kathy Hochul will make you see that at the top of the Empire State Building on Easter Day.
00:08:20.000So, President Trump then put out a statement.
00:08:23.000And the statement was from Carolyn Leavitt, his national press secretary.
00:08:26.000It said, it is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden's White House prohibited children
00:08:29.000from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter art event and formerly proclaimed
00:08:33.000Easter Sunday as Trans Day of Visibility.
00:08:35.000Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden administration's years-long assault
00:08:40.000We call on Joe Biden's failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions
00:08:43.000of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration
00:08:47.000only, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
00:08:50.000Now again, the Trump statement is correct.
00:08:53.000That is obviously what the Biden administration is doing.
00:08:56.000Now, there are a lot of people out there saying, well, this is a made-up, it's a made-up problem, because after all, it's March 31st every year.
00:09:02.000Let me ask you, if March 31st, if Trans Day of Visibility were to fall on, say, Juneteenth by some sort of random coincidence, do you think that the White House would put both of those messages out at the same time?
00:09:17.000Which particular religious messages does the White House mirror So the White House responded to these complaints, suggesting that this is all just about anti-trans rhetoric.
00:09:26.000It's not about defacing Easter with a bunch of blasphemous nonsense.
00:09:34.000The White House then suggested That Republicans are nasty?
00:09:38.000So White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said, quote, First of all, whenever Joe Biden whips out his Christianity to use as a club, right after supporting taxpayer-funded abortion, transing of the children, and same-sex marriage, it's a little odd.
00:09:56.000As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.
00:10:02.000Sadly, it's unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, dishonest rhetoric.
00:10:06.000President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.
00:10:10.000He literally abuses his faith for political purposes pretty much every time he cites his Catholicism in defense of his pro-abortion positions.
00:10:16.000I do look forward to the White House's Christmas Day statement in favor, I assume, of partial birth abortion, in celebration of partial birth abortion on the day Jesus was born.
00:10:25.000I think probably they're actually going to do that.
00:11:03.000The left decided that anyone who opposed the conflation of quote-unquote trans day of visibility and Easter, these are people who apparently are cruel bigots.
00:11:46.000Here he was suggesting Jesus would have been totally cool with the transgenderism.
00:11:52.000I think we've got to hit it head on and suggest to President Trump and Mike Johnson and Senator Blackburn and others who are relying on the words of their Christ and their Jesus they celebrate today to condemn Joe Biden, to suggest to them that actually the Jesus they celebrate today would be inclusive of the transgender community and would be supportive of the transgender community and command all Christians, including Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and others who celebrate today, Okay, um, no, that is wrong.
00:12:25.000So, again, I'm not going to speak for Christians here because I'm not one, but I am going to say I have at least more knowledge about this than David Jolly does, apparently.
00:12:33.000We'll get some more on this in just one moment.
00:12:35.000First, do you owe back taxes or still have unfiled returns?
00:12:37.000Not only is owing back taxes stressful, but the IRS has also become more determined than ever to come after you.
00:12:43.000The IRS's Chief Data and Analytics Officer revealed they're focused on an enforcement project with an average return on investment of about $6 for every $1 spent.
00:12:51.000They're targeting individuals and businesses that currently owe back taxes or haven't filed their returns first.
00:12:56.000Tax Network USA, the nation's leading tax relief firm, knows the tax code they'll fight for you.
00:13:01.000With a record of negotiating over a billion dollars in tax relief for their clients, their team is knowledgeable in handling any type of tax issue.
00:13:07.000Whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, they can help.
00:13:10.000Even if you don't have all your personal or business records from over the years, they can get you filed up to date.
00:13:15.000Facing the IRS without a professional?
00:13:46.000It is my impression, and correct me again if I am wrong, that Jesus loved the sinner, but not the sin.
00:13:53.000That when Jesus actually, for example, was seeking to reach out to Mary Magdalene, a former prostitute, the idea wasn't that she should go and sin more, it was go and sin no more.
00:14:08.000The idea was that now you had to give up the sin.
00:14:10.000I thought that was the idea, as opposed to Jesus loves everyone as they are.
00:14:16.000Jesus loves you just as you are, the way you are.
00:14:19.000Jesus may love you, according to Christianity, But he doesn't love you the way that you are in terms of action, because that would suggest that he likes your actions.
00:14:29.000He loves you as a human being with a soul, a divine soul.
00:14:32.000That is, I mean, again, this is coming from a non-Christian, but I don't think it takes all that much knowledge about Christianity to understand how stupid and wrong this is.
00:14:40.000But this is the entire left-wing point of view, is that Jesus is basically some sort of Eastern mystic who has no judgmental philosophy whatsoever on human action.
00:14:50.000And I'm just wondering where they're getting that from in the New Testament.
00:16:04.000I'll tell you what makes you not a particularly religious person.
00:16:07.000What makes you not a particularly religious person is if you don't actually care about your own religious precepts and you constantly violate them in the name of political power and then you seek to rely on your religion in order to justify that.
00:16:20.000It's one of the Ten Commandments that you're not supposed to violate.
00:16:22.000You're not supposed to misuse your religion to simply promulgate your political priors when they are in direct conflict with overt Catholic theology, for example.
00:16:33.000Joe Biden is a Catholic, which means that he is subject to the actual diktats of the Pope, for example.
00:16:38.000And it turns out that the Vatican has been really, really clear on issues like abortion for literally all of the existence of the Vatican.
00:16:45.000The Vatican has been extremely clear on the issue of, say, transgenderism, since that even was mentioned as a possible idea, which was pretty recently because it's a dumb idea.
00:16:54.000The Vatican has been pretty clear on matters related to same-sex marriage.
00:17:00.000Again, like, this... I love this idea where you can be, like, an amazing Catholic while constantly using political power in order to mine every fundamental basis of the religion you purport to observe.
00:17:11.000That's a very weird take, but this is the take.
00:17:14.000Jonathan Capehart, again, gonna lecture all of us about religion.
00:17:16.000Being lectured about religion by the folks on MSNBC is legitimately like being lectured on how to eat a steak by members of PETA.
00:17:27.000And therein lies the difference between Biden, an actual man of faith who goes to church virtually every Sunday, and Trump, who cloaks himself in Christianity in order to not only use religion as a weapon, but also as a blasphemous money-making opportunity.
00:17:46.000is he's the blasphemer because he is selling some sort of branded Bible. Now you don't have to love
00:17:52.000Donald Trump selling a branded Bible in order to recognize that that is still taking the Bible more
00:17:57.000seriously than Joe Biden does every single day. There's a cardinal named Wilton Gregory who's on
00:18:03.000the TVs on Sunday pointing out that when it comes to the manipulation of religion it turns out that
00:18:07.000Joe Biden manipulates religion literally all the time and says things in the name of his Catholicism
00:18:11.000that simply are not true. In the case of the president do you get a sense that his regular
00:18:18.000attendance and adherence to the faith resonates with American Catholics?
00:18:25.000I would say that he's very sincere about his faith.
00:18:29.000But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts.
00:18:40.000There are things that he chooses to ignore or he uses the current situation as a political pawn rather than saying, look, my church believes this.
00:19:05.000That means spring cleaning, warmer weather, the flowers and leaves are beginning to bloom.
00:19:09.000So of course you should be thinking about death.
00:19:11.000I'm just joking, but you actually should.
00:19:12.000You should be thinking about life insurance with Policy Genius.
00:19:15.000Getting life insurance today means you'll have peace of mind.
00:19:18.000So if something were to happen to you, your family can cover expenses while getting back on their feet.
00:19:22.000Luckily, Policy Genius helps you compare options from top companies and their team of licensed experts on hand to help you talk through it.
00:19:28.000PolicyGenius has licensed award-winning agents and technology that makes it easy to compare life insurance quotes from America's top insurers in just a few clicks to find your lowest price.
00:19:36.000Even if you already have life insurance through work, it might not offer enough protection for your family's needs, and it might not follow you if you leave your job.
00:19:42.000With PolicyGenius, you can find life insurance policies starting at just $292 per year for a million dollars in coverage.
00:19:48.000Some options offer same-day approval and avoid those unnecessary medical exams.
00:19:51.000By the way, just to add some insult to injury, Joe Biden didn't just celebrate Trans Day of Visibility on Easter.
00:20:15.000Like he actually put out a tweet in the middle of Easter, Again, it's like, is there any more— I feel like my cousin Vinny here— is there any more bleep we can load into this thing?
00:20:22.000He tweeted out yesterday like 4.47 p.m. quote, Today we honor Cesar Chavez by carrying on the cause to
00:21:10.000I mean, if you look at the, there's a new map that is out from Axios, and it shows the decline in religious service across the United States.
00:21:18.000Unsurprisingly, the states where fewest households actually attend church, those states are almost universally democratic.
00:21:29.000The share of adults who say they never or rarely attend religious services exceeds 60% in most of the Northeast, 60% in most of the Northwest, and then in most of the other Democratic states, it is 55 to 60%.
00:21:42.000If you go down south, which is where most of the Republican states are at this point, you know, everything from Texas to South Carolina, you're talking about fewer than 45% of households saying they never or rarely attend religious services.
00:21:53.000What we are watching is a religious breakdown across the country.
00:21:57.000Joe Biden represents states that tend not to go to church very much.
00:22:00.000And that is why he has no problem whatsoever.
00:23:53.000So Shifa Hospital, you remember, was a source of major contention because Israel surrounded it and then it waited for a long time and tried to clear out as many civilians as possible and Hamas is inside trying to keep the civilians in.
00:24:03.000Well, Israel had moved most of its forces down south toward Rafah in the Gaza Strip and that meant that Shifa Hospital was re-invaded and re-taken over by Hamas.
00:24:12.000Israel ended up performing an absolutely incredibly effective military operation in Shifa Hospital.
00:24:19.000That military operation Involved the capture or killing of hundreds of Hamas terrorists.
00:24:26.0006,000 civilians were evacuated by the IDF.
00:24:34.000The left declared that this was a human rights abuse anyway.
00:24:37.000So taking over a hospital, not a human rights abuse, killing or capturing only terrorists while freeing thousands of civilians, that apparently is a human rights abuse.
00:24:45.000This presumably is why Jamal Bowman spent the weekend suggesting that the real problem in the Middle East is the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:24:52.000Here he was calling Netanyahu a maniac on national TV, which is amazing for a dullard who doesn't know the difference apparently between a fire alarm and a door opener.
00:25:45.000By the way, Israel has accepted Pretty much every ceasefire proposal put down that would involve a temporary ceasefire and release of the hostages.
00:25:52.000Hamas keeps turning it down because they want to survive.
00:25:55.000And Jamal Bowman is out there standing for Hamas because this is what the far left is.
00:26:00.000And that act of fealty involves bowing down, as we discussed last week, bowing down deep To actual Islamic terrorists who murder people on the regular and turn an entire area into a terrorist hellhole.
00:26:12.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:26:13.000First, there's nothing like sitting behind home plate at a baseball game when you want the best tickets at any sporting event or concert.
00:26:19.000You have to act quickly or somebody else is going to get the seat instead.

00:27:13.000Chris Van Hollen, the idiot senator from Maryland, he is saying the same sort of stuff.
00:27:18.000He suggests that the United States should hold up aid to Israel in order to save Hamas, apparently.
00:27:24.000Look, the Biden administration had been planning to submit to Congress a new round of weapons proposals.
00:27:32.000They decided not to do that because clearly they knew they would encounter resistance.
00:27:37.000And so they've essentially done an end run with this earlier version.
00:27:41.000So my view Martha, is until the Netanyahu government allows more assistance into Gaza to help people who are literally starving to death, we should not be sending more bombs.
00:28:35.000And by the way, it also puts American military men and women in harm's way in a very dangerous area for no apparent reason.
00:28:41.000Because it turns out that even after you get that stuff off the pier, ain't no way to get it to the civilians who are inside Gaza because Hamas is stealing all of it.
00:28:51.000The religion of leftism requires acts of homage and fealty.
00:28:55.000You gotta put skin in the game on behalf of the world's worst players.
00:28:57.000Thankfully, you have the morons over at Harvard Law to do this for you.
00:29:00.000So I'm ashamed today to be a Harvard Law alum Apparently, the Harvard Law Students Association decided to pass a resolution divesting from Israel, which, like, Israel cares.
00:29:13.000And that's going to stop the war in Gaza, apparently, against Hamas.
00:29:17.000They're going to let Hamas survive because a bunch of Idiotically indoctrinated left-wing students at Harvard Law School decide that they are very, very mad.
00:29:24.000The resolution calls on the Harvard management company to divest from Israel over what it calls the genocide of Palestinians.
00:29:38.000The majority of people who have actually been killed are young military-age males.
00:29:44.000Not only that, Hamas is lying about their statistics.
00:29:46.000Not only that, once again, if Israel had wanted to, for example, bomb al-Shifa hospital with civilians inside and kill terrorists, it could have done so.
00:31:41.000It's what's been going on a continuous level for decades in this country, and we are now just seeing sort of the apotheosis of that with regard to what's going on in the Middle East.
00:31:49.000Meanwhile, It is clear that terrorists are fueling their oats these days.
00:32:02.000This natural deodorant is free of chemicals harmful to your body, like aluminum, parabens, sulfates, and...
00:32:08.000Okay, meanwhile, it is obvious that with the West in a state of interior moral collapse, terrorists and bad guys all over the world are on the move.
00:32:15.000saltstone and musk scent for men, the water lily and minerals for women, because we believe
00:32:19.000that men and women are different and should smell different.
00:32:40.000He was on the TVs over the weekend and he was pointing out that ISIS has basically issued a proclamation to its lone wolves everywhere to attack Christians and Jews wherever they can find them.
00:33:25.000He points out, obviously, that since we left Afghanistan, we have no actual capacity inside Afghanistan to either monitor what's going on or to kill bad guys over the horizon.
00:33:32.000You remember that that was the lie that the Biden administration told.
00:33:35.000They said we have over-the-horizon capability, meaning stuff that we can't see, like directly on the ground, but we'll still have the ability to strike from afar.
00:33:42.000McKenzie's like, no, we don't have any of that.
00:33:44.000ISIS-K has completely rebuilt inside Afghanistan, and now they're going to start spreading their terror tentacles outward, which, of course, literally everyone pointed out when we pulled out a bunch of cowards from Afghanistan under Joe Biden.
00:33:56.000On the other hand, in Afghanistan, we have almost no ability to see into that country, and almost no ability to strike into that country.
00:34:03.000And so ISIS there is able to grow unabated.
00:34:08.000And again, our operating theory has always been, with violent extremists, you want local security forces to be able to control them, and then you want them to not be able to establish the connective tissue internationally that allows them to carry out external attacks abroad.
00:34:22.000And it's very hard to do that in Afghanistan, where you just don't have the ability to sense, you don't have the ability to strike, very limited resources.
00:34:32.000Meanwhile, all of America's enemies are apparently on the move.
00:34:34.000According to CNN, a prominent exiled Iranian journalist was stabbed outside his home in London on Friday, prompting British police to launch a counterterrorism investigation.
00:34:41.000This person's name was Paria Zarate, television anchor at the UK-based channel Iran International, which is the anti-regime.
00:34:47.000He was reportedly attacked by a group of men outside his home in southwestern Wimbledon.
00:34:56.000Given the victim's occupation, the Met said that coupled with the fact there have been a number of threats directed toward this group of journalists in recent times, the Department's Counterterrorism Command would be investigating.
00:35:05.000And of course, we know that basically if you're on Iran's radar, there is a good shot that they will send agents to come and kill you even decades after the fact, which is how Salman Rushdie got stabbed in the eye decades after writing the satanic verses.
00:35:16.000Meanwhile, Russia is assassinating people as well, as we know.
00:35:20.000We talked about this a few months back.
00:35:22.000There was a defector from the Russian army to the Ukrainian side named Maxim Kuzminov, and he was murdered in Spain just a few months ago.
00:35:32.000According to the New York Times, the men who killed Maxim Kuzminov wanted to send a message.
00:35:35.000This was obvious to investigators in Spain even before they discovered who he was.
00:35:38.000Not only did the killers shoot him six times in a parking garage in southern Spain, they ran over his body with the car.
00:35:43.000They also left an important clue to their identity, according to investigators, shell casings from 9mm Makarov rounds, a standard ammunition of the former communist bloc.
00:35:57.000Kuzminov defected from Russia to Ukraine last summer, flying his MiG-8 helicopter into Ukrainian territory and handing the aircraft along with a cache of secret documents to Ukrainian intelligence operatives.
00:36:10.000So he was killed in a seaside resort town called Villa Joyosa last month, and it's raised fear that Russia is going to kill its enemies all over Europe, which of course would not be a giant shock.
00:36:22.000This is something that the Russians have been attempting to do for a while.
00:36:24.000We're also now getting reports from 60 Minutes that the so-called Havana syndrome, which is a mystery illness that's been affecting U.S.
00:36:31.000diplomats in recent years, and that's now been linked to a Russian intelligence unit.
00:36:36.000Moscow, of course, denies the accusations.
00:36:38.000Here is 60 Minutes talking about it last night.
00:36:40.000He has a long track record uncovering Russian documents, and Grozev says he found one that may link 29155 to a directed energy weapon.
00:36:53.000And when I saw it, I literally had tears in my eyes because it was spelling out what they had been doing.
00:37:25.000It's the closest to a receipt you can have for this.
00:37:28.000According to the BBC, American personnel struck with the condition, including White House, CIA, and FBI staff, have complained of dizziness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and an intense and painful sound in their ears.
00:37:38.000This new investigation alleges operatives from Russian military intelligence unit may have targeted the brains of U.S.
00:37:43.000diplomats with directed energy weapons.
00:37:47.000Apparently, an American military investigator examining instances of the syndrome told 60 Minutes the common link between the victims was a Russia nexus.
00:38:42.000They're just gonna yell about Donald Trump a lot.
00:38:44.000So Jamie Harrison, the head of the DNC, he says that this election is gonna come down to Trump undermining democracy.
00:38:50.000Not if the world situation has anything to say about it.
00:38:53.000The reality is that the map right now for Democrats is incredibly bad.
00:38:57.000The electoral map for Democrats right now shows Donald Trump up in every swing state, including Nevada pretty solidly, including Wisconsin by just a little bit, including Michigan very solidly, Democrats are whistling past the graveyard, almost literally in the case of Joe Biden, when they say that they're going to be able to run purely on Trump as a threat to democracy.
00:39:16.000No one cares what you have to say about Trump at this point, because everybody already has an opinion of Trump.
00:39:20.000The question is, what are people's opinions of your boss?
00:39:23.000Here's Jamie Harrison, chairman of the DNC.
00:39:27.000Seeing those three presidents on the stage, these are the things that popped in my head.
00:39:50.000And it was amazing to see them there together, unified.
00:39:54.000And frankly, that is something, and you mentioned this in your opening, that's something that you won't see on the Republican side.
00:40:00.000I don't think you're going to see George W. Bush on the same stage as Donald Trump, because people understand that Trump has become a cancer for American democracy, and they don't want to be affiliated and to stand up with that.
00:40:16.000When you say that on a split screen with Stephen Colbert, a late night comedy host, interviewing the last three Democratic presidents on a stage, all of whom were involved in centralization of government power and or corruption.
00:40:31.000People think that if they have to choose between the guys they don't trust and don't like, they will pick the guy who at least had a pretty good presidency the first three years before the world imploded because of COVID.
00:40:42.000Joe Biden has done a terrible job, and people know that he's done a terrible job.
00:40:45.000In fact, even Michael Che, who's a comedian on Saturday Night Live, obviously not on the right, even Michael Che was ripping on Joe Biden's lack of appeal to black Americans.
00:40:54.000And the crowd was like, are you allowed to say this?
00:40:56.000The answer is yes, they're allowed to say this.
00:40:57.000Joe Biden is not going to get high black turnout.
00:41:02.000President Biden said Friday that he would visit the site of the Baltimore bridge collapse because, like that bridge, Biden is no longer connecting with black communities.
00:41:27.000And then, by the way, SNL then juxtaposed that with a video that Donald Trump put out on Truth Social that showed a truck, and on the back of the truck was painted Joe Biden in the back of the truck, like tied up like he'd been kidnapped or something.
00:41:41.000Probably because Trump thought it was funny.
00:41:43.000And the entire media was like, that's terrible!
00:41:47.000Okay, he can be all of those things, and still, if faced with the prospect of voting for the guy who's immature on Truth Social, but also had a solid economy that was not being handed over to all of the foreign powers in the world, They might take the guy who's immature but was good at the president thing as opposed to the guy who is beyond his sell-by date and also very very bad at the president thing.
00:42:13.000That is the choice that the Biden administration is making clear to the American public right now and it's not going amazingly well for them.
00:42:20.000We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:42:21.000First, is the future of America doomed?
00:42:22.000A majority of Generation Z supports left-wing policies like open borders and socialism.
00:42:27.000If we don't reach them and change their minds, the country we know and love could be lost forever.
00:42:31.000PragerU is the leading nonprofit when it comes to influencing young people.
00:42:34.000Their educational, entertaining, pro-American videos meet young people where they are and open their minds to the truth.
00:43:19.000Well, meanwhile, the Biden administration, as Michael Che suggested, not connecting particularly well with the black community, but also not doing an amazing job on this whole Baltimore Bridge collapse routine.
00:43:28.000Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary of Transportation, straight from the cover of Mad Magazine circa 1997.
00:43:33.000Pete Buttigieg, it turns out, does not instill trust in the American public.
00:43:38.000Every time he does an interview, I think you feel less secure getting in a plane.
00:43:41.000Here he was over the weekend suggesting, guys, it's perfectly safe to fly despite the doors that are coming off the Boeings.
00:43:48.000What would you say to those who are scared to fly right now?
00:43:51.000Well, I would say that every time I step onto an airliner, whether I'm going to look at a bridge or whether I'm flying somewhere with my husband and kids, like we will be later this week, I know that I'm participating in the safest form of travel in America, and that what makes it the safest form of travel in America is all of the work and all of the people who stand behind that, including the men and women of our FAA.
00:44:17.000We're talking about an extraordinary safety record.
00:44:20.000And just think about this mode of travel.
00:44:22.000It involves being propelled by flammable liquids in a metal tube through the sky at nearly the speed of sound, and again is the safest way to travel.
00:44:32.000My favorite thing is when he starts describing how machines work.
00:44:38.000Like Pete Buttigieg talking about, you know, you should train sometimes to rail, but can you think of a machine moving along the ground at a fairly high rate of speed across metal tracks where the wheels turn, and the turning of the wheels is generated by power that comes originally from coal, but then later was moved to other fuel sources?
00:45:19.000I know when a lot of people see you on television these days, they may still think to themselves, oh, I wonder if he still wants the big job one day.
00:45:26.000Now that you've been closer to it, working alongside a president, is it still something you aspire to?
00:45:31.000Well, I certainly have a new perspective on just how demanding that job is, watching President Biden deal with so many concerns, challenges, and opportunities for this country.
00:45:41.000And I'm proud to be a small part of the big team that helps him get that done.
00:45:46.000I sincerely don't know whether I will run for elected office of any kind again.
00:45:52.000What I do know is that I've been asked to take on a big job.
00:46:04.000It's taking 110% of what he has to give.
00:46:06.000He doesn't have to give all that much because, you know, paternity leave and all that.
00:46:10.000Meanwhile, I do love that, again, the backups to Joe Biden are Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris.
00:46:14.000According to Reuters, hosting rapper Fat Joe at the White House to talk about reforming marijuana laws, visiting an abortion clinic, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza at the historic Selma Bridge in Alabama, walking the blood-stained crime scene of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting.
00:46:26.000Vice President Kamala Harris has stepped out of the shadow of President Joe Biden in recent weeks as part of a high-profile effort to persuade the fractious coalition of voters who sent them to the White House to give them a second term.
00:46:35.000I couldn't think of anything much more off-putting than that list of little performances that Kamala Harris is doing.
00:46:40.000I mean, now I definitely want to vote for the ticket that hosted Fat Joe at the White House to talk about pot and visited an actual abortion clinic and went to the Selma Bridge to jabber about why Hamas needs to be preserved.
00:46:54.000That is the kind of governance that I think America could use.
00:46:58.000According to USA Today, Harris' evolving role comes as progressive Democrats target Biden over his pro-Israel stance.
00:47:03.000Polls show him in a tight race against Republican rival Donald Trump.
00:47:06.000As left-leaning voters question Biden's age and leadership, a problem Trump doesn't face with his core voters, the 59-year-old Harris is taking on a more heated topic more often and more directly than Biden.
00:47:41.000Put her back, we can't have her out there, she's terrible.
00:47:44.000Maybe, maybe time, it's time to look at Kamala for like the 82nd time.
00:47:48.000There was this joke during the Trump administration, this is the day Donald Trump finally becomes president, whenever he would act presidential, and then five minutes later, you have like a sign in the corner that said, days since acting unpresidential, set it back to zero.
00:47:59.000That's Kamala Harris, except it's days since being unbelievably annoying and terrible in every possible way.
00:48:04.000And she gets to like day one, and then they set it back to zero.
00:48:07.000If your great hopes, Democrats, are that people are going to not be super enthused about Joe Biden, but they will love the prospect of Kamala Harris taking over when he dies, good luck to you.
00:48:18.000Again, the single best insurance Joe Biden has that he won't be ousted as the nominee is that he picks somebody even less popular in Kamala Harris.
