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

00:00:00.000 Sunday was a deeply religious day for the Biden administration.
00:00:03.000 They celebrated a religion celebrated by so many across the country.
00:00:07.000 The religion of deep, insane progressivism.
00:00:10.000 So, of course, Sunday was Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar.
00:00:14.000 And 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.
00:00:23.000 So, 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.
00:00:39.000 This holiday was founded by a person named Rachel Crandall Crocker, a psychotherapist, because that's the way that the psychotherapy industry now works.
00:00:48.000 This 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.
00:00:58.000 Here is a clip of Rachel Crandall Crocker explaining his origin story here.
00:01:03.000 I tried to come out to my parents when I was eight years old, okay?
00:01:13.000 and that was in 1967.
00:01:19.000 Let's just say it didn't go well.
00:01:23.000 Bye.
00:01:24.000 Well, I mean, I can imagine it not going particularly well.
00:01:27.000 Joe Biden then put out a statement on Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:01:31.000 Which again, I don't even know what that means, Day of Visibility.
00:01:33.000 Because 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.
00:01:39.000 They need more attention.
00:01:40.000 We need to have an entire day of visibility.
00:01:42.000 As opposed to, you know, like, just seeing people around you.
00:01:45.000 There's a day of visibility.
00:01:47.000 The President of the United States put out a statement, quote, Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans.
00:01:53.000 You are loved.
00:01:53.000 You are heard.
00:01:54.000 You are understood.
00:01:55.000 You belong.
00:01:56.000 You are America!
00:01:58.000 And my entire administration and I have your back.
00:02:00.000 Joe 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.
00:02:13.000 I 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.
00:02:22.000 Gender identity is, of course, the nonsense notion that you can identify as something other than what you are. 0.88
00:02:27.000 This is the best part.
00:02:29.000 In 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.
00:02:39.000 So my favorite part of this is where Joe Biden mentions the year of our Lord.
00:02:44.000 That would be Jesus, right?
00:02:46.000 Because we all keep the Christian calendar. 0.55
00:02:49.000 I 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.
00:02:59.000 The president also put up a bunch of tweets along these lines to celebrate.
00:03:04.000 It's a very important time.
00:03:05.000 Quote, on Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength and absolute courage
00:03:09.000 of some of the bravest people I know.
00:03:11.000 People so brave that if you say that they are actually a member of their own biological
00:03:13.000 sex then apparently an outsized number that they kill themselves.
00:03:17.000 This is the actual case that the left is constantly making when it comes to gender dysphoria is 0.92
00:03:21.000 that we all have to pretend along or people will kill themselves and Joe Biden calls this
00:03:24.000 joy, strength and absolute courage and bravery.
00:03:27.000 Again, as I've said over the years, when it comes to the pantheon of American bravery,
00:03:32.000 It goes like transgender people saying that they are members of the opposite sex. 0.99
00:03:36.000 They're like all the way up here.
00:03:37.000 And then running a distant second is 18-year-old boys charging the beaches of Normandy on behalf of the allies.
00:03:43.000 I mean, like, they really shouldn't even be in the same category.
00:03:46.000 I mean, we know where the real bravery is.
00:03:48.000 Joe 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.
00:03:57.000 They belong.
00:03:58.000 They should be treated with dignity and respect.
00:04:00.000 And then big pink and blue graphic, trans rights are human rights.
00:04:05.000 This was put out on Easter morning at 11 a.m.
00:04:09.000 We should note at this point that this is, in fact, the religion of the Biden administration.
00:04:14.000 Not just that, he put out another tweet at 2 p.m., just to make sure that you got it, right?
00:04:18.000 They put out one at 11, on Easter.
00:04:20.000 Then at 2 p.m.
00:04:21.000 on Easter, again, on Easter, the holiest day in the Christian... I'm not going to say this enough.
00:04:26.000 This is the holiest day in the Christian calendar.
00:04:29.000 I'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.
00:04:34.000 You'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. 0.94
00:04:45.000 That's how different religions are treated by this White House.
00:04:47.000 So President Biden puts out a tweet, quote, today on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans.
00:04:52.000 I see you, which is not creepy.
00:04:54.000 That's apparently uplifting.
00:04:56.000 You are made in the image of God and you're worthy of respect and dignity.
00:04:59.000 Okay, every person is made in the image of God.
00:05:01.000 Also, they are made male and female.
00:05:02.000 It's literally in the same verse in Genesis.
00:05:05.000 My 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.
00:05:13.000 Literally the same verse.
00:05:15.000 Just read to the end of the sentence, my dude.
00:05:18.000 In any case, The religion of this administration obviously is not Christianity, or even some sort of broader secular version of Christian values.
00:05:26.000 It is, in fact, just wild progressivism.
00:05:29.000 We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:05:30.000 First, the cost of living has already increased 17% this year.
00:05:34.000 It continues to rise despite interest rate controls.

00:06:34.000 That's Ben to 98-98-98.
00:06:36.000 According 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.
00:06:46.000 So, it's Easter, and people were painting crosses on eggs, and Joe Biden's like, no, none of that.
00:06:52.000 The only symbols we'll allow here are, like, the Pride Progress flag flying from the giant rotunda of the White House.
00:06:59.000 The ARD contest is part of the White House's Easter traditions, which include the annual Easter egg roll.
00:07:03.000 The 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.
00:07:11.000 So, just gonna point out that if you, I assume that if you put trans flag colors on the Easter egg, totally fine.
00:07:16.000 That is not a partisan political statement.
00:07:19.000 It is not a piece of questionable content or religious symbol.
00:07:23.000 You just have to make sure that everything is, you know, on the up and up with the secular left. 0.75
00:07:29.000 That is the religion of this White House.
00:07:31.000 By the way, this isn't just the White House.
00:07:33.000 Kathy Hochul decided over the weekend that it was very important to light up buildings in New York in the trans colors.
00:07:39.000 According to Colin Rugg, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered that New York landmarks be lit up in transgender flag colors on Easter Sunday.
00:07:46.000 She issued a proclamation declaring March 31st, 2024, Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:07:50.000 The landmarks that are now apparently transed are Niagara Falls, One World Trade Center, Empire State Plaza, I'm not sure how to pronounce this.
00:08:09.000 It's very important that everyone across the land know that men who believe that they are women are in fact women.
00:08:15.000 And Kathy Hochul will make you see that at the top of the Empire State Building on Easter Day.
00:08:20.000 So, President Trump then put out a statement.
00:08:23.000 And the statement was from Carolyn Leavitt, his national press secretary.
00:08:26.000 It said, it is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden's White House prohibited children
00:08:29.000 from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter art event and formerly proclaimed
00:08:33.000 Easter Sunday as Trans Day of Visibility. 1.00
00:08:35.000 Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden administration's years-long assault
00:08:38.000 on the Christian faith.
00:08:40.000 We call on Joe Biden's failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions
00:08:43.000 of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration
00:08:47.000 only, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
00:08:50.000 Now again, the Trump statement is correct.
00:08:53.000 That is obviously what the Biden administration is doing.
00:08:56.000 Now, 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.
00:09:02.000 Let 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?
00:09:17.000 Which 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.
00:09:26.000 It's not about defacing Easter with a bunch of blasphemous nonsense.
00:09:31.000 That happens to be anti-science also. 0.98
00:09:34.000 The White House then suggested That Republicans are nasty?
00:09:38.000 So 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.
00:09:53.000 It's a little strange.
00:09:56.000 As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.
00:10:02.000 Sadly, it's unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, dishonest rhetoric.
00:10:06.000 President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.
00:10:10.000 He literally abuses his faith for political purposes pretty much every time he cites his Catholicism in defense of his pro-abortion positions.
00:10:16.000 I 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. 0.83
00:10:25.000 I think probably they're actually going to do that.
00:10:27.000 That seems probable at this point.
00:10:32.000 So, Biden then put out an Easter message, a piece of damage control.
00:10:37.000 Joe Biden put out a statement saying, quote,
00:10:38.000 Okay, but the left went even further than that.
00:11:02.000 Bye. 0.88
00:11:03.000 The 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.
00:11:12.000 Not just that.
00:11:13.000 Apparently, according to these same people, Jesus would have himself been a super big proponent, it turns out, of the trans ideology.
00:11:22.000 Now where they get this from, I have no idea.
00:11:24.000 Jesus, it turns out, for those who have even a cursory knowledge, I'm not a Christian, But I've read the New Testament.
00:11:30.000 Jesus is a pretty judgmental guy.
00:11:32.000 He has some rules.
00:11:33.000 Turns out, not every behavior is approved by Jesus.
00:11:37.000 Nonetheless, here was David Jolly on MSNBC suggesting, former Florida Republican Party representative, the kind who's welcome on MSNBC.
00:11:45.000 He's earned some strange new respect.
00:11:46.000 Here he was suggesting Jesus would have been totally cool with the transgenderism. 0.81
00:11:52.000 I 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.
00:12:25.000 So, 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.
00:12:33.000 We'll get some more on this in just one moment.
00:12:35.000 First, do you owe back taxes or still have unfiled returns?
00:12:37.000 Not only is owing back taxes stressful, but the IRS has also become more determined than ever to come after you.
00:12:43.000 The 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.
00:12:51.000 They're targeting individuals and businesses that currently owe back taxes or haven't filed their returns first.
00:12:56.000 Tax Network USA, the nation's leading tax relief firm, knows the tax code they'll fight for you.
00:13:01.000 With 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.

00:13:10.000 Even if you don't have all your personal or business records from over the years, they can get you filed up to date.
00:13:15.000 Facing the IRS without a professional?
00:13:17.000 Not a smart move.

00:13:35.000 TNUSA.com slash Shapiro.
00:13:38.000 So Jesus, my understanding is, and correct me, we have a producer's room full of Christians, Catholics and Protestants.
00:13:44.000 Let me just ask very quickly.
00:13:46.000 It is my impression, and correct me again if I am wrong, that Jesus loved the sinner, but not the sin.
00:13:53.000 That 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.
00:14:08.000 The idea was that now you had to give up the sin.
00:14:10.000 I thought that was the idea, as opposed to Jesus loves everyone as they are.
00:14:15.000 That's paganism. 0.90
00:14:16.000 Jesus loves you just as you are, the way you are.
00:14:19.000 Jesus 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.
00:14:29.000 He loves you as a human being with a soul, a divine soul. 0.99
00:14:32.000 That 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. 1.00
00:14:40.000 But 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. 0.97
00:14:50.000 And I'm just wondering where they're getting that from in the New Testament.
00:14:54.000 Jesus began life as a Jew. 0.98
00:14:57.000 He lived as a Jew.
00:14:59.000 And it turns out Judaism has some things to say about these particular matters as well.
00:15:03.000 Nonetheless, this is the take of Mollie Jongfast, who, when I need a hot take on Christianity, I go to Mollie Jongfast.
00:15:09.000 She says, well, Joe Biden is a great Christian.
00:15:12.000 He's a great Christian.
00:15:12.000 We know that because he's been married for a super long time, as opposed to Donald Trump, who's been married for three times.
00:15:16.000 Now, listen.
00:15:17.000 Joe Biden's marriage.
00:15:19.000 His marital record may be better than Donald Trump's marital record.
00:15:23.000 That has literally nothing to do with whether he's promulgating anti-Christian nonsense on Easter.
00:15:27.000 The Republicans seem not so interested in that. I mean, they spent the whole weekend attacking
00:15:33.000 Biden because Trans Visibility Day went up, was on the same day as Easter, you know, because it's 0.98
00:15:40.000 always on March 31st. So I do think there was quite, you know, there seems to be no alliance.
00:15:47.000 You know, there seems to be no, it just seems to be that the far right doesn't care that Biden is
00:15:53.000 this religious Catholic and that Trump has all these marriages. And it just seems like they just
00:16:00.000 don't care.
00:16:01.000 It's a false global thing.
00:16:03.000 It's a false equivalency?
00:16:04.000 I'll tell you what makes you not a particularly religious person.
00:16:07.000 What 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.
00:16:18.000 That's actually bearing false witness.
00:16:20.000 It's one of the Ten Commandments that you're not supposed to violate.
00:16:22.000 You'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.
00:16:31.000 Joe Biden isn't just a Christian.
00:16:33.000 Joe Biden is a Catholic, which means that he is subject to the actual diktats of the Pope, for example.
00:16:38.000 And it turns out that the Vatican has been really, really clear on issues like abortion for literally all of the existence of the Vatican. 0.98
00:16:45.000 The 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.
00:16:54.000 The Vatican has been pretty clear on matters related to same-sex marriage. 0.93
00:16:58.000 Joe Biden violates all of those.
00:17:00.000 Again, 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.
00:17:11.000 That's a very weird take, but this is the take.
00:17:14.000 Jonathan Capehart, again, gonna lecture all of us about religion.
00:17:16.000 Being lectured about religion by the folks on MSNBC is legitimately like being lectured on how to eat a steak by members of PETA.
00:17:25.000 Here's Jonathan Capehart.
00:17:27.000 And 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.
00:17:46.000 is he's the blasphemer because he is selling some sort of branded Bible. Now you don't have to love
00:17:52.000 Donald Trump selling a branded Bible in order to recognize that that is still taking the Bible more
00:17:57.000 seriously than Joe Biden does every single day. There's a cardinal named Wilton Gregory who's on
00:18:03.000 the TVs on Sunday pointing out that when it comes to the manipulation of religion it turns out that
00:18:07.000 Joe Biden manipulates religion literally all the time and says things in the name of his Catholicism
00:18:11.000 that simply are not true. In the case of the president do you get a sense that his regular
00:18:18.000 attendance and adherence to the faith resonates with American Catholics?
00:18:25.000 I would say that he's very sincere about his faith.
00:18:29.000 But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts.
00:18:40.000 There 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.
00:19:01.000 That is correct, obviously.
00:19:02.000 We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:19:04.000 First, spring is here.
00:19:05.000 That means spring cleaning, warmer weather, the flowers and leaves are beginning to bloom.
00:19:09.000 So of course you should be thinking about death.
00:19:11.000 I'm just joking, but you actually should.
00:19:12.000 You should be thinking about life insurance with Policy Genius.

00:19:51.000 By the way, just to add some insult to injury, Joe Biden didn't just celebrate Trans Day of Visibility on Easter.
00:19:55.000 recommend one insurer over another.

00:20:05.000 That's policygenius.com slash Shapiro.
00:20:07.000 By the way, just to add some insult to injury, Joe Biden didn't just celebrate
00:20:10.000 Trans Day of Visibility on Easter. 0.98
00:20:12.000 He also celebrated Cesar Chavez.
00:20:15.000 Like 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?
00:20:22.000 He tweeted out yesterday like 4.47 p.m. quote, Today we honor Cesar Chavez by carrying on the cause to
00:20:27.000 which he dedicated his life.
00:20:28.000 Championing the dignity and rights of every worker, using nonviolence to fight for justice,
00:20:32.000 and standing with organized labor to build an economy that rewards work and not just wealth.
00:20:35.000 I mean put aside Cesar Chavez's views on illegal immigration, which are very different from Joe
00:20:40.000 Biden's views on illegal immigration since he was a labor leader and did not like illegal immigration.
00:20:44.000 I'm just wondering, are there any more days you can stack on this calendar, Joe?
00:20:49.000 But again, the religion of the left is leftism.
00:20:52.000 It is not, in fact, Christianity or Catholicism or any form thereof.
00:20:56.000 It is anti these things, which is what was being betrayed.
00:21:00.000 That is why this whole story rings so true for the Biden administration.
00:21:05.000 Because the Biden administration does not represent religious people in this country.
00:21:08.000 They just don't.
00:21:10.000 I 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.
00:21:18.000 Unsurprisingly, the states where fewest households actually attend church, those states are almost universally democratic.
00:21:29.000 The 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%.
00:21:42.000 If 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.
00:21:53.000 What we are watching is a religious breakdown across the country.
00:21:57.000 Joe Biden represents states that tend not to go to church very much.
00:22:00.000 And that is why he has no problem whatsoever.
00:22:02.000 That's why it never even occurred.
00:22:03.000 That's the thing.
00:22:04.000 Even assume it's a mistake for a second.
00:22:06.000 It never even occurred to them that this might be a problem.
00:22:08.000 And then when notified of the problem, they didn't back off of it.
00:22:11.000 They went strong into it.
00:22:13.000 Because their feeling is that Christianity can be perverted such that it encompasses all progressive worldviews.
00:22:20.000 Which is, in fact, insane.
00:22:22.000 It also leads to some pretty weird conflagrations, like we saw yesterday at St.
00:22:27.000 Patrick's Cathedral in New York City.
00:22:29.000 So pro-Khomash protesters decided now would be an amazing time to break up the Easter service at St.
00:22:35.000 St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and here's what that sounded like.
00:22:42.000 They're literally in the middle of an Easter service and they decide they're going to invade the Easter service
00:22:49.000 and pose at the front
00:22:53.000 of the church in the middle of the service
00:22:58.000 before they are removed by security.
00:23:00.000 Oh And they start fighting back.
00:23:08.000 So, yeah.
00:23:08.000 These are just delightful people.
00:23:11.000 Absolutely, absolutely wonderful people.
00:23:13.000 And these people should be treated just like anybody else who breaks up a religious service on behalf of their politics.
00:23:20.000 But, again, why wouldn't they feel this way?
00:23:22.000 Their religion is more important than Christianity. 1.00
00:23:24.000 That is why they are in the church.
00:23:25.000 That's why they are doing what they are doing right there. 0.98
00:23:28.000 And again, the religion of leftism is one hell of a drug. 0.53
00:23:31.000 Obviously, the most obvious example of this religion means that you're now standing for Hamas. 0.96
00:23:37.000 So over the weekend, the far left basically just declared itself in favor of Hamas, just declared itself against Israel.
00:23:43.000 Israel, by the way, it is worth noting, just carried out one of the great military operations in modern history.
00:23:49.000 Israel just carried out a military operation.
00:23:52.000 At Shifa Hospital.
00:23:53.000 So 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.
00:24:03.000 Well, 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.
00:24:12.000 Israel ended up performing an absolutely incredibly effective military operation in Shifa Hospital.
00:24:19.000 That military operation Involved the capture or killing of hundreds of Hamas terrorists.
00:24:26.000 6,000 civilians were evacuated by the IDF.
00:24:28.000 200 Hamas terrorists were killed.
00:24:30.000 500 Hamas terrorists were captured.
00:24:31.000 No civilian was killed.
00:24:33.000 Zero civilians were killed.
00:24:34.000 Didn't matter.
00:24:34.000 The left declared that this was a human rights abuse anyway.
00:24:37.000 So 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.
00:24:45.000 This 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. 0.96
00:24:52.000 Here 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. 0.93
00:25:01.000 We need a permanent ceasefire. 0.97
00:25:03.000 We need to bring in hundreds of trucks that are five miles away from Gaza right now of aid to save as many lives as possible.
00:25:12.000 There's a humanitarian crisis.
00:25:14.000 The majority of Gaza has already been destroyed through acts of collective punishment by this maniac, Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:25:23.000 I'm 100% with Senator Schumer. 0.90
00:25:26.000 He needs to be removed.
00:25:28.000 He is a blockade to a pathway to peace, and we need a ceasefire right now.
00:25:34.000 That's what we should be focused on humanitarily.
00:25:35.000 A pathway to peace.
00:25:36.000 He's the blockade, not Hamas, the terrorist group that takes over hospitals and builds tunnels underneath civilian areas.
00:25:43.000 Hamas is not the barrier.
00:25:45.000 By the way, Israel has accepted Pretty much every ceasefire proposal put down that would involve a temporary ceasefire and release of the hostages.
00:25:52.000 Hamas keeps turning it down because they want to survive. 0.87
00:25:55.000 And Jamal Bowman is out there standing for Hamas because this is what the far left is.
00:25:58.000 This is the religion.
00:25:58.000 The religion requires acts of fealty.
00:26:00.000 And 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. 0.81
00:26:12.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:26:13.000 First, there's nothing like sitting behind home plate at a baseball game when you want the best tickets at any sporting event or concert.

00:27:09.000 ZipRecruiter.com slash DailyWire.
00:27:12.000 The smartest way to hire. 1.00
00:27:13.000 Chris Van Hollen, the idiot senator from Maryland, he is saying the same sort of stuff. 0.99
00:27:18.000 He suggests that the United States should hold up aid to Israel in order to save Hamas, apparently. 0.99
00:27:24.000 Look, the Biden administration had been planning to submit to Congress a new round of weapons proposals.
00:27:32.000 They decided not to do that because clearly they knew they would encounter resistance.
00:27:37.000 And so they've essentially done an end run with this earlier version.
00:27:41.000 So 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. 0.89
00:27:55.000 This is ridiculous.
00:27:56.000 Israel's been allowing in hundreds of trucks every day. 0.67
00:27:57.000 There is literally no one to process them on the other end who is not Hamas. 1.00
00:28:01.000 According to the United Nations, about 278 trucks went in every day before October 7th.
00:28:05.000 Today, hundreds of trucks are going in.
00:28:09.000 The only reason more aren't going in is because Hamas is stealing all the aid. 0.94
00:28:12.000 So much so that the United States is now idiotically building a pier off the coast.
00:28:16.000 We'll build a pier, the United States, off the coast of the of the Gaza beach before we build a wall on our own border. 0.94
00:28:23.000 You want to talk about misallocation of resources.
00:28:27.000 By the way, a bunch of Palestinians just drowned trying to get to that aid on the pier.
00:28:32.000 So things are going amazingly well.
00:28:35.000 And by the way, it also puts American military men and women in harm's way in a very dangerous area for no apparent reason.
00:28:41.000 Because 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. 0.69
00:28:49.000 Again, this is all religious.
00:28:51.000 The religion of leftism requires acts of homage and fealty.
00:28:55.000 You gotta put skin in the game on behalf of the world's worst players. 1.00
00:28:57.000 Thankfully, you have the morons over at Harvard Law to do this for you. 0.98
00:29:00.000 So 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. 0.98
00:29:13.000 And that's going to stop the war in Gaza, apparently, against Hamas. 0.94
00:29:17.000 They'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. 0.96
00:29:24.000 The resolution calls on the Harvard management company to divest from Israel over what it calls the genocide of Palestinians. 0.98
00:29:29.000 Again, let me be clear.
00:29:30.000 There is no genocide happening in Gaza.
00:29:32.000 If there were genocide happening in Gaza, there'd be hundreds of thousands of dead.
00:29:35.000 Civilians would just be being mowed down.
00:29:37.000 That is not what is happening.
00:29:38.000 The majority of people who have actually been killed are young military-age males.
00:29:44.000 Not only that, Hamas is lying about their statistics.
00:29:46.000 Not 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. 0.59
00:29:52.000 It didn't.
00:29:53.000 It cleared 6,000 civilians from al-Shifa before actually going in.
00:29:56.000 But these people don't care about the truth because, again, this is a religion.
00:29:59.000 It is a religion to them.
00:30:01.000 Facts are of no consequence whatsoever.
00:30:04.000 Here's one of these Harvard Law students speaking about how she is the true hero.
00:30:08.000 She's the real hero.
00:30:09.000 Again, can I just tell you, I went to Harvard Law.
00:30:12.000 This is some of the most privileged people on planet Earth.
00:30:14.000 They're not heroic in any way.
00:30:16.000 The people who go to Harvard Law are living in dorm rooms and studying law at one of the richest places on the planet.
00:30:24.000 And then they're gonna get out and get $200,000 a year jobs at white shoe law firms in New York.
00:30:30.000 And all these people, oh, oh, the heroism.
00:30:36.000 We are dissenting.
00:30:38.000 We condemn your complicity.
00:30:41.000 And we are calling on them to immediately divest from genocide.
00:30:47.000 This is our story.
00:30:49.000 And we are co-authoring it with the resisting people of Palestine. 0.97
00:30:56.000 Okay, pause it right there.
00:30:57.000 This is their story.
00:30:58.000 First of all, it is not your story.
00:30:59.000 You're a Harvard Law student.
00:31:00.000 Second of all, you're co-authoring with the resisting people of Palestine.
00:31:04.000 Do you mean Hamas?
00:31:05.000 Because those would be, at this point, the resisting people or the Palestinian Authority or Islamic Jihad.
00:31:10.000 I mean, at least you're putting your bona fides out there.
00:31:15.000 This is a religion on the left.
00:31:17.000 And that religion has terrible consequences because its devotees believe truly awful things.
00:31:21.000 It is all of a piece.
00:31:23.000 A war on Easter on behalf of transgenderism or war on Easter on behalf of Hamas is all part of a coalition that hates Western values. 0.74
00:31:30.000 Those Western values are extraordinarily well-based in Christianity.
00:31:34.000 You cannot get through to the destruction of Western values without also destroying Christianity. 1.00
00:31:39.000 That's what was going on on Sunday.
00:31:41.000 It'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.
00:31:49.000 Meanwhile, It is clear that terrorists are fueling their oats these days.
00:31:53.000 We'll get to that in just one second.
00:31:55.000 First, Jeremy's most requested item was natural deodorant.
00:31:58.000 When we released Jeremy's natural deodorant, it was a massive success.
00:32:01.000 Well, now it's back in stock.
00:32:02.000 This natural deodorant is free of chemicals harmful to your body, like aluminum, parabens, sulfates, and...
00:32:08.000 Okay, 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.
00:32:15.000 saltstone and musk scent for men, the water lily and minerals for women, because we believe
00:32:19.000 that men and women are different and should smell different. 0.98
00:32:21.000 It's not too sticky, not too greasy.
00:32:22.000 It's just right.
00:32:23.000 Get your Jeremy's natural deodorant at jeremyrasers.com today.
00:32:26.000 Okay, meanwhile, it is obvious that with the West in a state of interior moral collapse,
00:32:32.000 terrorists and bad guys all over the world are on the move.
00:32:35.000 Retired General Ken McKenzie, Commander U.S.
00:32:39.000 CENTCOM.
00:32:40.000 He 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.
00:32:49.000 Very nice people, these ISIS. 1.00
00:32:51.000 And here he was explaining that that is quite credible at this point, especially given the mass attack in Moscow.
00:32:58.000 ISIS-K in particular, but ISIS in general, has a strong desire to attack our homeland.
00:33:05.000 We should believe them when they say that.
00:33:07.000 They're going to try to do it.
00:33:08.000 And so I think the threat is growing.
00:33:10.000 It's begun to grow as soon as we left Afghanistan and took pressure off ISIS-K. 0.99
00:33:16.000 So I think we should expect further attempts of this nature against the United States as well as our partners and other nations abroad.
00:33:23.000 I think this is inevitable.
00:33:25.000 He 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.
00:33:32.000 You remember that that was the lie that the Biden administration told.
00:33:35.000 They 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.
00:33:42.000 McKenzie's like, no, we don't have any of that. 0.91
00:33:44.000 ISIS-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.
00:33:56.000 On the other hand, in Afghanistan, we have almost no ability to see into that country, and almost no ability to strike into that country.
00:34:03.000 And so ISIS there is able to grow unabated.
00:34:06.000 There's no pressure on them.
00:34:08.000 And 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.
00:34:22.000 And 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.
00:34:32.000 Meanwhile, all of America's enemies are apparently on the move.
00:34:34.000 According to CNN, a prominent exiled Iranian journalist was stabbed outside his home in London on Friday, prompting British police to launch a counterterrorism investigation.
00:34:41.000 This person's name was Paria Zarate, television anchor at the UK-based channel Iran International, which is the anti-regime.
00:34:47.000 He was reportedly attacked by a group of men outside his home in southwestern Wimbledon.
00:34:50.000 The assailants then fled in the car.
00:34:52.000 Apparently, the injuries were not life-threatening.
00:34:54.000 He was in stable condition.
00:34:56.000 Given 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.
00:35:05.000 And 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. 0.72
00:35:16.000 Meanwhile, Russia is assassinating people as well, as we know.
00:35:19.000 This is not a big shock.
00:35:20.000 We talked about this a few months back.
00:35:22.000 There 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.
00:35:32.000 According to the New York Times, the men who killed Maxim Kuzminov wanted to send a message.
00:35:35.000 This was obvious to investigators in Spain even before they discovered who he was.
00:35:38.000 Not only did the killers shoot him six times in a parking garage in southern Spain, they ran over his body with the car.
00:35:43.000 They 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.
00:35:51.000 It's a clear message.
00:35:52.000 Said a senior official from Guardia Civil, the Spanish police force.
00:35:54.000 I will find you. 1.00
00:35:55.000 I will kill you. 1.00
00:35:56.000 I will run you over. 1.00
00:35:56.000 I will humiliate you. 1.00
00:35:57.000 Kuzminov 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.
00:36:10.000 So 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.
00:36:22.000 This is something that the Russians have been attempting to do for a while.
00:36:24.000 We'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.
00:36:31.000 diplomats in recent years, and that's now been linked to a Russian intelligence unit.
00:36:36.000 Moscow, of course, denies the accusations.
00:36:38.000 Here is 60 Minutes talking about it last night.
00:36:40.000 He has a long track record uncovering Russian documents, and Grozev says he found one that may link 29155 to a directed energy weapon.
00:36:53.000 And when I saw it, I literally had tears in my eyes because it was spelling out what they had been doing.
00:36:59.000 It's a piece of accounting.
00:37:01.000 An officer of 29155 received a bonus for work on, quote, potential capabilities of non-lethal acoustic weapons.
00:37:12.000 Which told us that this particular unit had been engaged with somewhere, somehow, Empirical tests of a directed energy unit.
00:37:22.000 There it is.
00:37:23.000 There it is.
00:37:24.000 Written down in black and white.
00:37:25.000 It's the closest to a receipt you can have for this.
00:37:28.000 According 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.
00:37:38.000 This new investigation alleges operatives from Russian military intelligence unit may have targeted the brains of U.S.
00:37:43.000 diplomats with directed energy weapons.
00:37:47.000 Apparently, an American military investigator examining instances of the syndrome told 60 Minutes the common link between the victims was a Russia nexus.
00:37:54.000 His name is Greg Edgreen.
00:37:55.000 He said there was some angle where they had worked against Russia, focused on Russia, and done extremely well.
00:38:00.000 One victim of the syndrome told 60 Minutes about her experience.
00:38:03.000 She said, bam, inside my right ear was like a dentist drilling on steroids. 1.00
00:38:06.000 That feeling when it gets too close to your eardrum, it's like that.
00:38:09.000 Times 10.
00:38:11.000 So apparently they're still trying to figure out exactly what happened here.
00:38:15.000 There have been these reports for years.
00:38:17.000 It's called Havana Syndrome because it first cropped up with U.S.
00:38:19.000 diplomats in Cuba.
00:38:21.000 But there have been these reports from all over the world near areas associated with the Russian government.
00:38:26.000 Now again, we'll wait for all of that to be tracked down, that 60 minutes doing the reporting.
00:38:30.000 Suffice it to say that Russia's enemies, Russia believes that it has them on the run.
00:38:34.000 And why not?
00:38:35.000 All of Russia's enemies are mysteriously dying at this point.
00:38:39.000 So what exactly is Joe Biden doing about any of this?
00:38:41.000 The answer is not much.
00:38:42.000 They're just gonna yell about Donald Trump a lot.
00:38:44.000 So Jamie Harrison, the head of the DNC, he says that this election is gonna come down to Trump undermining democracy.
00:38:50.000 Not if the world situation has anything to say about it.
00:38:53.000 The reality is that the map right now for Democrats is incredibly bad.
00:38:57.000 The 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.
00:39:16.000 No one cares what you have to say about Trump at this point, because everybody already has an opinion of Trump.
00:39:20.000 The question is, what are people's opinions of your boss?
00:39:23.000 Here's Jamie Harrison, chairman of the DNC.
00:39:27.000 Seeing those three presidents on the stage, these are the things that popped in my head.
00:39:32.000 Honesty.
00:39:33.000 Decency.
00:39:34.000 Integrity.
00:39:35.000 Those are three servant leaders.
00:39:37.000 And that's something that Donald Trump doesn't know anything about.
00:39:40.000 These people, these are people who understand that this country is about hope over fear.
00:39:47.000 It's about progress over chaos.
00:39:50.000 And it was amazing to see them there together, unified.
00:39:54.000 And frankly, that is something, and you mentioned this in your opening, that's something that you won't see on the Republican side.
00:40:00.000 I 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.
00:40:15.000 OK, here's the thing.
00:40:16.000 When 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.
00:40:30.000 People don't believe you.
00:40:31.000 People 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.
00:40:42.000 Joe Biden has done a terrible job, and people know that he's done a terrible job.
00:40:45.000 In 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.
00:40:54.000 And the crowd was like, are you allowed to say this?
00:40:56.000 The answer is yes, they're allowed to say this.
00:40:57.000 Joe Biden is not going to get high black turnout.
00:40:58.000 He's just not going to do it.
00:41:02.000 President 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.
00:41:11.000 You gotta read the polls.
00:41:22.000 Yeah, everybody's surprised you're not allowed to say that.
00:41:23.000 Wow, that's very upsetting.
00:41:25.000 You're mentioning all of that.
00:41:27.000 And 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.
00:41:41.000 Probably because Trump thought it was funny.
00:41:43.000 And the entire media was like, that's terrible!
00:41:45.000 How could he do that? 0.99
00:41:46.000 He's so immature and terrible!
00:41:47.000 Okay, 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.
00:42:13.000 That 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.
00:42:20.000 We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:42:21.000 First, is the future of America doomed?
00:42:22.000 A majority of Generation Z supports left-wing policies like open borders and socialism.
00:42:27.000 If we don't reach them and change their minds, the country we know and love could be lost forever.

00:43:19.000 Well, 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.
00:43:28.000 Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary of Transportation, straight from the cover of Mad Magazine circa 1997.
00:43:33.000 Pete Buttigieg, it turns out, does not instill trust in the American public.
00:43:38.000 Every time he does an interview, I think you feel less secure getting in a plane.
00:43:41.000 Here he was over the weekend suggesting, guys, it's perfectly safe to fly despite the doors that are coming off the Boeings.
00:43:48.000 What would you say to those who are scared to fly right now?
00:43:51.000 Well, 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.
00:44:17.000 We're talking about an extraordinary safety record.
00:44:20.000 And just think about this mode of travel.
00:44:22.000 It 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.
00:44:32.000 My favorite thing is when he starts describing how machines work.
00:44:36.000 I love it.
00:44:37.000 It's great.
00:44:38.000 Like 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?
00:44:58.000 Amazing.
00:44:59.000 Just amazing.
00:45:00.000 I love trains.
00:45:03.000 This guy?
00:45:03.000 This one?
00:45:04.000 This is the one who you guys were thinking was like a presidential candidate?
00:45:07.000 Okay, then.
00:45:08.000 By the way, it's not just him.
00:45:10.000 He did say over the weekend that he has learned a lot from Joe Biden, like it's very hard to be president.
00:45:15.000 Yeah, well, Joe Biden makes it look pretty hard.
00:45:16.000 That's true.
00:45:19.000 I 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.
00:45:26.000 Now that you've been closer to it, working alongside a president, is it still something you aspire to?
00:45:31.000 Well, 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.
00:45:41.000 And I'm proud to be a small part of the big team that helps him get that done.
00:45:46.000 I sincerely don't know whether I will run for elected office of any kind again.
00:45:52.000 What I do know is that I've been asked to take on a big job.
00:45:55.000 I'm honored and humbled to do it.
00:45:56.000 It's hard.
00:45:57.000 It's rewarding.
00:45:58.000 And it's taken about 110% of what I have to give right now.
00:46:03.000 Wow.
00:46:04.000 It's taking 110% of what he has to give.
00:46:06.000 He doesn't have to give all that much because, you know, paternity leave and all that.
00:46:10.000 Meanwhile, I do love that, again, the backups to Joe Biden are Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris.
00:46:14.000 According 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.
00:46:26.000 U.S.
00:46:26.000 Vice 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.
00:46:35.000 I couldn't think of anything much more off-putting than that list of little performances that Kamala Harris is doing. 0.51
00:46:40.000 Wow.
00:46:40.000 I 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.
00:46:52.000 And to go to Parkland, Florida.
00:46:54.000 I mean, wow.
00:46:54.000 That is the kind of governance that I think America could use.
00:46:58.000 According to USA Today, Harris' evolving role comes as progressive Democrats target Biden over his pro-Israel stance.
00:47:03.000 Polls show him in a tight race against Republican rival Donald Trump.
00:47:06.000 As 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.
00:47:15.000 She's moved into the starring role.
00:47:17.000 Another time for another look at Kamala.
00:47:19.000 I love that they relaunch Kamala Harris every five minutes.
00:47:22.000 Every five minutes they relaunch Kamala Harris.
00:47:25.000 It's like a time-condensed Batman relaunch.
00:47:28.000 There's a relaunch of the Batman series every 10 years or so.
00:47:31.000 For Kamala Harris, it's like every 15 minutes. 0.99
00:47:32.000 It's like another look at Kamala.
00:47:34.000 Oh my god, she's terrible.
00:47:35.000 Can we please hide her in a closet somewhere? 1.00
00:47:37.000 Well, maybe it's time for another look at Kamala.
00:47:40.000 Oh no, she's out again?
00:47:41.000 Put her back, we can't have her out there, she's terrible. 0.96
00:47:44.000 Maybe, maybe time, it's time to look at Kamala for like the 82nd time.
00:47:48.000 There 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.
00:47:59.000 That's Kamala Harris, except it's days since being unbelievably annoying and terrible in every possible way.
00:48:04.000 And she gets to like day one, and then they set it back to zero.
00:48:07.000 If 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.
00:48:17.000 Good luck to you.
00:48:18.000 Again, 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.
00:48:25.000 All righty, coming up.
00:48:26.000 Are we talking with Alexandra Hudson?
00:48:28.000 She has a brand new book called The Soul of Civility, Timeless Principles to Heal Society and Ourselves.
00:48:32.000 Civility, is that still a thing?
