00:00:02.000 We have to update our calendar!

00:00:03.000 Because it is now... Day...

00:00:09.000 20 of Kamala Harris taking zero adversarial questions since becoming the Democratic nominee.

00:00:15.000 She is running away from reporters.

00:00:17.000 She is turning down Donald Trump's request for additional debates.

00:00:20.000 But don't worry.

00:00:21.000 She is so brilliant.

00:00:23.000 She is so with it.

00:00:24.000 She's so intelligent.

00:00:25.000 She's so convincing.

00:00:26.000 She's not just a cardboard cutout that they stack up in front of a teleprompter to say things out of her face hole and then the media cheer like a bunch of wild schoolgirls. 1.00

00:00:55.000 Okay, so yesterday, large-scale contrast between Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the presidency, and Kamala Harris.

00:01:01.000 Kamala Harris continues to run a basement campaign.

00:01:03.000 It's a baseman campaign that is punctuated by her going to large rallies and saying things off a teleprompter and Tim Walz giving a strange, enthusiastic Dance routine that is really off-putting to those of us who still have a shred of sanity left.

00:01:18.000 You just feel like you're being gaslit all the time by the Harris-Walls campaign because she went from being one of the most unpopular figures in democratic politics to a magical figure of joy, light, and excitement.

00:01:29.000 And then they trot out this 60-year-old doofus to dance around on the stage while talking about how he is a moderate who only loves abortion and loves.

00:01:38.000 I mean, it's just, it's all crazy.

00:01:41.000 And then they say that Trump is afraid to debate.

00:01:42.000 Okay, so yesterday, Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago gave an hour-long press conference, a thing that Kamala Harris has not done.

00:01:48.000 The most noteworthy thing that he said is that he doesn't just want one debate with Kamala Harris, he wants three debates with Kamala Harris.

00:01:54.000 Here he was announcing that yesterday.

00:01:57.000 I think it's very important to have debates, and we've agreed with Fox on a date of September 4th.

00:02:04.000 We've agreed with NBC Fairly full agreement, subject to them, on September 10th.

00:02:13.000 And we've agreed with ABC on September 25th.

00:02:18.000 Okay, so that is good news.

00:02:20.000 That is good news.

00:02:21.000 It's what we've been encouraging him on the show to do.

00:02:23.000 He needs to debate Kamala, because the media ain't going to do their job.

00:02:25.000 They're absolutely not going to do their job.

00:02:27.000 They're going to run screaming away from their job, as it turns out.

00:02:30.000 So, then Kamala Harris, she came forth and she explained she would not be doing three debates on three separate networks. 0.79

00:02:37.000 No, she would only agree to the debate that Joe Biden negotiated with Donald Trump back when Joe Biden was the candidate.

00:02:42.000 That was before she shivved him in the back and took his nomination.

00:02:45.000 Which is precisely what happened.

00:02:46.000 By the way, it is kind of weird that Joe Biden is still President of the United States and is wandering into walls, speaking nonsensically.

00:02:52.000 You know his entire schedule next to the current President of the United States, the most powerful person on earth, who you've completely forgotten about.

00:02:58.000 We all did.

00:02:59.000 Old Joe.

00:03:00.000 His schedule next week involves him being in Delaware and taking two scheduled phone calls.

00:03:05.000 That is his schedule next week.

00:03:06.000 Apparently.

00:03:07.000 Just slow clap for the media who are doing an incredible job.

00:03:10.000 They went from this man cannot be the nominee because he's senile to he can still be the president because he's senile and his vice presidential candidate who is avoiding us like the plague is actually sweetness and like here she was yesterday saying she's looking forward to their September 10th debate.

00:03:24.000 So the little game she's playing she says she will not accept any further debates until they do the September 10th debate.

00:03:30.000 And Trump should say, well, no, I'm not going to do the September 10th debate unless you're willing to do all three.

00:03:34.000 Because the reality is the American people don't know you.

00:03:36.000 You're hiding from the media.

00:03:37.000 You're hiding from questions.

00:03:39.000 You're actually a dummy when you get off the teleprompter, which is, that's been true for Kamala Harris her entire lifetime.

00:03:46.000 Instead, what she's trying to do is delay it beyond September 10th, because she feels like she'll do well enough on September 10th to put questions to bed about her candidacy.

00:03:54.000 And then she doesn't want to be out there having to answer more questions.

00:03:57.000 In fact, her entire plan is never to answer any questions.

00:04:00.000 Here she was yesterday. 0.99

00:04:01.000 Participating in all three.

00:04:04.000 I've always been on record.

00:04:05.000 I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump.

00:04:07.000 If we have a date of September 10th, I hear he's finally committed to it.

00:04:10.000 I'm looking forward to it.

00:04:11.000 What about the other two?

00:04:14.000 What about the other two?

00:04:14.000 Nope.

00:04:15.000 She's gone.

00:04:15.000 Bye.

00:04:15.000 Catch you later.

00:04:16.000 No questions.

00:04:17.000 No questions.

00:04:18.000 By the way, she did deign to tell the press yesterday that she would be scheduling an interview, maybe, an interview before the end of the month.

00:04:28.000 Here's what she had to say yesterday on the tarmac.

00:04:30.000 And the media played this as though she took questions from the media.

00:04:33.000 Those were not questions.

00:04:34.000 That was a hot stone massage.

00:04:35.000 There's a difference.

00:04:36.000 Well, that's a serious answer.

00:04:51.000 Before the end of the month.

00:04:52.000 Now, let me take a look at the calendar here.

00:04:56.000 It appears to me, amongst all my information, and the entire calendrical system is somehow false, that today, Would be Friday, August 9th.

00:05:08.000 I noticed that the month of August actually has many days in it, like a lot of days.

00:05:15.000 In fact, it has 31 days in it, unless I am sadly mistaken.

00:05:20.000 And yet she wants to do one interview before the end of the month?

00:05:26.000 Are you kidding me?

00:05:27.000 I have a question for all you journalismers, all you professional journalismers.

00:05:31.000 If you can put down the lotion long enough to actually do your jobs, maybe you might want to, you know, put a little pressure on the Harris Walls campaign to answer a question.

00:05:38.000 Some questions.

00:05:39.000 Any questions.

00:05:41.000 Maybe you might want to ask the very obvious question to the campaign.

00:05:45.000 Why won't you do a presser?

00:05:47.000 Why won't you do an interview?

00:05:49.000 Why are you running away from any question ever?

00:05:52.000 Why are you only committing to one debate?

00:05:54.000 A debate, by the way, that you didn't negotiate with Trump.

00:05:56.000 Your boss negotiated with Trump before you took him out back and shot him like old yeller. 0.82

00:06:01.000 Where is the media?

00:06:02.000 We know the answer.

00:06:03.000 The media are in her colon.

00:06:04.000 That's where the media are. 0.99

00:06:06.000 This is not just Donald Trump and J.D.

00:06:09.000 Vance against Harrison Walls.

00:06:12.000 It's them against the entire legacy media.

00:06:13.000 Because the entire legacy media clicked back into place the minute that Joe Biden went down.

00:06:18.000 They clicked back into place and suddenly, like a switch, they were enthusiastic about Kamala.

00:06:22.000 So much excitement, so much joy!

00:06:26.000 Well, the media are telling us that we don't need any answers from Kamala Harris or Tim Walz because there's just so much joy, and that is a lie.

00:06:33.000 But here's something that's not a lie.

00:06:34.000 There's only one cell phone company that gives you free premium access to the media you actually care about.

00:07:37.000 Go to puretalk.com slash Shapiro today to get started.

00:07:40.000 Kamala Harris's entire routine here is to play Joe Biden's basement campaign from 2020 with some peppy rallies and some pop music from upcoming stars that I've never heard of, presumably. 0.97

00:07:50.000 She was asked yesterday about whether she had any response to Donald Trump's criticisms of her.

00:07:54.000 You know, very hard question.

00:07:55.000 Very hard question here.

00:07:56.000 Do you have any response to people criticizing you?

00:07:58.000 And she's like, nope, can't even hear the criticism.

00:08:00.000 I'm just, I'm above all of that.

00:08:02.000 Can you comment on some of his other criticisms?

00:08:06.000 He made a whole bit me of them today.

00:08:08.000 Tell them, Omar, about your- I was too busy talking to voters.

00:08:10.000 I didn't hear them.

00:08:11.000 She's been talking to voters.

00:08:14.000 She didn't hear them.

00:08:16.000 I mean, that's a lie, number one.

00:08:17.000 She knows all the criticisms because they've been widely reported.

00:08:21.000 Also, the last time somebody on the Harris Walls ticket claimed deafness to avoid culpability for something, it was her vice president claiming deafness to avoid a DUI.

00:08:30.000 A solid ticket right here.

00:08:32.000 I don't blame Harrison Walls for doing this routine.

00:08:35.000 It's great work if you can get it.

00:08:36.000 If you can get away with all of this, good for you.

00:08:39.000 But where are the journalists?

00:08:41.000 Where are they?

00:08:43.000 Why don't they do their job?

00:08:44.000 That is the big question.

00:08:45.000 So yesterday, Donald Trump proved that he was perfectly willing to go out in front of a wildly adversarial press.

00:08:51.000 He tried to reset the table, I think successfully, because the focus in this campaign cannot be on all of these sort of random, festivist grievances that Donald Trump has against Brian Kemp in Georgia.

00:09:01.000 And it can't be about questions about Her blackness or anything like that.

00:09:06.000 It's got to be about her record.

00:09:07.000 This is the most left-wing ticket in the history of American politics.

00:09:10.000 Donald Trump's task yesterday was twofold.

00:09:12.000 One, to demonstrate that he was willing to actually take questions in a way that she is not, which is clearly true. 0.88

00:09:17.000 He went to the National Association of Black Journalists last week, and he did like a 35-minute interview with people who hate his guts.

00:09:23.000 She has yet to answer a single adversarial question. 0.99

00:09:25.000 And again, we are in day 20 of this ridiculous, pathetic routine. 0.93

00:09:29.000 It really is sickening because the American people are owed some answers to questions before we select the next president of the United States. 0.97

00:09:36.000 Are we not?

00:09:37.000 What exactly do journalists think they do around here?

00:09:40.000 Trump had two tasks.

00:09:41.000 One is prove that he could take questions, which he can.

00:09:44.000 And two, try to redirect toward the Harris Walls record, which is insanely radical.

00:09:49.000 Somehow Kamala Harris, by the way, has been able to avoid culpability for the administration in which she is the vice president of the United States, which is insane to me. 0.99

00:09:56.000 That's totally crazy.

00:09:57.000 In 2008, John McCain was made responsible for George W. Bush's administration, despite the fact he wasn't in that administration.

00:10:04.000 Mitt Romney was turned into an heir to George W. Bush, despite the fact he had no relationship with George W. Bush. 0.95

00:10:09.000 But Kamala Harris, who literally says she is the last person in the room for every Biden decision, has been able to avoid culpability for the entire Biden administration record, which is a heaping pile of flaming trash. 0.96

00:10:21.000 So, Trump has a twofold task yesterday.

00:10:24.000 I think he hit both of them.

00:10:25.000 One is he's willing to stand up to press.

00:10:27.000 She isn't.

00:10:28.000 Two is let's focus on her record.

00:10:30.000 Here he was yesterday warning about economic and security meltdowns under the next Kamala Harris administration.

00:10:35.000 I think that our country is right now in the most dangerous position it's ever been in from an economic standpoint,

00:10:44.000 from a safety standpoint, both gangs on the street and frankly, gangs outside of our

00:10:51.000 country in the form of other countries that are frankly very powerful.

00:10:55.000 They're very powerful countries, and we don't know what we're doing.

00:10:58.000 We have leadership that has no clue how to handle them or how to handle any other situation.

00:11:03.000 You could end up in a depression of The 1929 variety, which would be a devastating thing, took many years, took decades to recover from it.

00:11:12.000 And we're very close to that, and we're very close to a world war.

00:11:15.000 In my opinion, we're very close to a world war.

00:11:17.000 We have people that don't know how to handle it.

00:11:20.000 They're not respected.

00:11:22.000 All over the world, they're laughed at.

00:11:24.000 And we can't have that.

00:11:27.000 He's right about all of that, of course.

00:11:29.000 And then Trump said about himself that he is a common sense person who wants low taxes, strong borders, and a strong military.

00:11:35.000 This should be the campaign.

00:11:37.000 This should be the campaign.

00:11:38.000 Message, discipline.

00:11:39.000 That is all.

00:11:42.000 We're a party of common sense and I'm a person of common sense.

00:11:44.000 I want to have low taxes.

00:11:46.000 I want to have strong borders.

00:11:47.000 I want to have a strong military.

00:11:51.000 Okay, again, that is a very common sense message, and she is a person who wants the opposite of that.

00:11:55.000 High taxes, weak borders, and a weak military.

00:11:58.000 That is a very good campaign, and it happens to be true.

00:12:00.000 Trump said that Kamala was the worst border czar in American history, which of course is also true. 1.00

00:12:06.000 As a border czar, she's been the worst border czar in history, in the world history. 1.00

00:12:11.000 I think the number is 20 million, but whether it's 15 or 20, it's numbers that nobody's ever heard before.

00:12:17.000 20 million people came over, The border in the last, during the Biden-Harris administration, 20 million people.

00:12:24.000 Okay, so again, this, this over and over and over.

00:12:29.000 Now, Trump did note in the press conference yesterday that all of this kind of honeymooning over Kamala Harris, who is a terrible candidate, she's terrible. 1.00

00:12:37.000 There was a tweet yesterday, somebody suggesting, you know, well, she's like the person who hit well in the minors, who has never given a shot, and then she gets to the majors and she's hitting three-thirds, and you're like, why didn't we start with this person?

00:12:47.000 No, she's actually like the person who's in the minor leagues and had a bunch of potential, then came up to the majors and hit 180, that'd be her 2020 presidential race, and then was sent back down, and then was brought back up to be vice president, and she hit 180 again, and then she was sent back down, and then she was brought back up as the nominee, and then in the first couple of weeks, she went 6 for 8, and now she's gonna regress to the main, and she's gonna bat 180. 0.93

00:13:09.000 And that's essentially the case that Donald Trump is making right here.

00:13:13.000 The honeymoon period is gonna end.

00:13:14.000 Look, she's got a little period. 1.00

00:13:16.000 She's got a convention coming up.

00:13:18.000 It's about policy.

00:13:19.000 It's not about her. 0.99

00:13:20.000 I think she's incompetent. 1.00

00:13:23.000 Because I've watched her. 0.93

00:13:24.000 She destroyed California. 0.69

00:13:25.000 She destroyed San Francisco.

00:13:27.000 Everything she's touched has turned to bad things.

00:13:31.000 Is Donald Trump correct?

00:13:32.000 He says that the honeymoon will end when people get to know Kamala.

00:13:34.000 The question is whether anyone will ever get to know Kamala if the media have their way.

00:13:39.000 Well, here is another question.

00:13:41.000 Where are you getting your meat from?

00:13:43.000 Important question, because the Olympic Summer Games are in full swing, and Good Ranchers is now getting in on the action by offering new subscribers a free gold medal add-on for the next four years.

00:14:43.000 He is right about all that.

00:14:45.000 And he points out, and this again, should be something that the Republicans point out over and over and over.

00:14:50.000 She cannot be off teleprompter.

00:14:52.000 She is whatever the teleprompter says she is at any given moment.

00:14:55.000 Here is Trump saying, Kamala can't do an interview. 1.00

00:14:57.000 Where is she?

00:14:58.000 She's, where's Waldo?

00:15:00.000 She hasn't done an interview.

00:15:02.000 She can't do an interview.

00:15:03.000 She's barely competent and she can't do an interview. 1.00

00:15:06.000 But I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight.

00:15:12.000 Well, I mean, by the way, she is the one who is saying she only wants one debate, and it's the debate that was preset with Joe Biden. 0.98

00:15:19.000 She is a coward. 0.98

00:15:21.000 Do you understand? 1.00

00:15:21.000 She's politically a coward. 1.00

00:15:23.000 She's backed off every position she ever held, but not herself. 0.99

00:15:26.000 She has her surrogates doing it. 1.00

00:15:28.000 She won't do an interview to answer for any of those changes in time.

00:15:31.000 She won't explain why she was for Joe Biden's mental competence until she was against it and just shoved that old dude off the back of the train.

00:15:39.000 She can't answer any questions, and she won't answer any questions.

00:15:41.000 And now Democrats are out there saying that she doesn't have to answer any questions. 0.99

00:15:45.000 Here's Senator Alex Padilla from California suggesting that Harris doesn't need to take any questions because she's just too glorious. 0.92

00:15:51.000 Our queen, slay queen, must take no questions whatsoever, ever.

00:15:56.000 You've got to cut her a little bit of slack for the last two and a half weeks. 0.96

00:15:59.000 An unprecedented way to become the nominee for the Democratic Party.

00:16:04.000 Yeah, we noticed that.

00:16:06.000 It caused some questions, maybe.

00:16:07.000 To become the presumptive nominee, she has quickly vetted and selected a tremendous running mate in Governor Walz.

00:16:14.000 We're preparing for the Democratic Convention in Chicago.

00:16:17.000 And she's stumping.

00:16:17.000 She's doing the day job and stumping in all the critical battleground states.

00:16:21.000 So we'll get to the media interviews soon enough.

00:16:26.000 No, you won't.

00:16:27.000 And by the way, I love that he trots out a bunch of things that you should have questions about.

00:16:31.000 And then he's like, but she must be asking no questions.

00:16:32.000 She's been busy.

00:16:33.000 Yes, you mean defenestrating her boss?

00:16:37.000 She's been busy selecting a vice president on the basis of him not being a Jew.

00:16:40.000 Like, there are some questions about all these things, and she's avoiding those questions.

00:16:43.000 And it's maddening, it truly is.

00:16:45.000 If you feel like I do, which is that this entire, this entire electoral cycle has been a complete and utter chaotic bleep show, and you got some questions, and then you are told, no, no, she doesn't have to answer questions.

00:16:59.000 She's too kind, godlike, and joyous to have to answer questions.

00:17:02.000 She's busy. 0.52

00:17:05.000 Is it irritating?

00:17:06.000 I feel like it's irritating, not just to me.

00:17:08.000 I think there are a lot of Americans to whom this is irritating, who are owed answers by the current sitting Vice President of the United States, who has presided over the worst inflation in 40 years, a meltdown in the Middle East, a slow-rolling disaster in Ukraine, an aggressive China.

00:17:22.000 A fraying of the social fabric, a polarization along racial and sex lines.

00:17:26.000 I feel like some questions should be answered before we make that lady the President of the United States after winning zero, count them, zero primary votes ever. 1.00

00:17:33.000 Not just this time, last time too.

00:17:37.000 I feel like I'm going nuts here because how do you take a person who you all deemed to be completely unworthy of her job and then flip in one second and say that she is not just worthy, she is the most worthy and almost bow before her.

00:17:51.000 And then when we have questions, you're like, no, no, there will be no questions.

00:17:54.000 She requires no. 0.99

00:17:55.000 Nancy Pelosi doing the same routine.

00:17:56.000 So Nancy Pelosi. 1.00

00:17:58.000 Who effectively beheaded the President of the United States politically.

00:18:01.000 And she did an interview yesterday in which she basically spat on Joe Biden's grave. 1.00

00:18:06.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:18:07.000 Here was Nancy Pelosi saying, Kamala doesn't need to talk to the press. 1.00

00:18:10.000 Of course she doesn't need to talk to the press.

00:18:13.000 And meanwhile, Jake Tapper on CNN is kind of like, well, I mean, doesn't she?

00:18:17.000 And Nancy's like, no, no, we know what you'll do. 0.98

00:18:19.000 You will all just sit down and shut up. 0.98

00:18:21.000 And she's right. 0.99

00:18:22.000 She's right.

00:18:22.000 Because the media are just an adjunct to the Democratic Party.

00:18:27.000 Do you think that the vice president needs to be more out there talking to reporters, talking about issues in a give and take, not just in speeches?

00:18:35.000 I think she should say what I just said in that sentence.

00:18:38.000 She should be herself.

00:18:40.000 She should be ready.

00:18:42.000 She should know her power in all of this.

00:18:45.000 And I don't give anybody advice except to be themselves and be ready and know the power of their individuality and their authenticity.

00:18:56.000 Oh.

00:18:56.000 My.

00:18:57.000 God.

00:18:57.000 The power of her authenticity and individuality?

00:18:59.000 You know, we might know if she's authentic. 0.51

00:19:01.000 If someone were to ask her a damned question, that might be a good way to find out whether someone's authentic or not, is if they would actually go and be in an adversarial situation and answer for themselves, as opposed to deploying their friends in the legacy media and their paid surrogates to lie about all of their positions. 0.96

00:19:15.000 Nancy Pelosi, she has to feel her power. 0.99

00:19:18.000 Dentures are clacking.

00:19:19.000 By the way, you want to talk about somebody who feels her power?

00:19:21.000 Again, Nancy Pelosi legitimately defenestrated the sitting president of the United States. 1.00

00:19:27.000 Nancy Pelosi literally did an interview in which she ripped Biden's debate performance and said he was not sentient to be President of the United States, so she ousted him. 1.00

00:19:34.000 This is that same interview.

00:19:37.000 What was your reaction when you saw him walk out there and then his answers or his inability to give coherent answers?

00:19:46.000 Well, I thought we were going to see Joe Biden from the State of the Union.

00:19:51.000 I never wanted to debate what's his name because it's always, he's a joke.

00:19:57.000 It's not a funny joke, but it's a joke.

00:20:00.000 And he said, no, I'm looking forward to it.

00:20:03.000 And so he was confident about that.

00:20:05.000 So when I saw him, I thought, In my view, overprepped, not a good idea.

00:20:13.000 Overprepped? 0.99

00:20:15.000 She's a liar. 0.98

00:20:15.000 In that same day, she did an interview with David Remnick over at the New Yorker. 0.98

00:20:20.000 Quote, and this is about Joe Biden.

00:20:22.000 Remember, this is the lady who says she won't give any advice to Kamala Harris.

00:20:24.000 She is responsible for Kamala Harris's nomination, almost solely.

00:20:26.000 Quote, I've never been that impressed with Joe Biden's political operation.

00:20:29.000 They won the White House, bravo.

00:20:31.000 But my concern was this ain't happening.

00:20:32.000 And we have to make a decision for this to happen.

00:20:34.000 The president has to make the decision for that to happen.

00:20:38.000 She said, I really wanted him to make a decision for a better campaign because they were not facing the fact of what was happening.

00:20:42.000 We couldn't see it go down the drain because Trump was going to be president.

00:20:45.000 And then he was going to take the House.

00:20:47.000 Imagine.

00:20:47.000 Imagine how that would be.

00:20:48.000 Well, we don't have to imagine.

00:20:50.000 We saw.

00:20:50.000 So she basically ousted the guy, but now she has no advice for Kamala Harris.

00:20:55.000 No advice at all.

00:20:56.000 She just needs to be her authentic self.

00:20:58.000 I just advise people to be the most authentic they can be.

00:21:01.000 The least authentic human being in America is Kamala Harris.

00:21:04.000 That lady is manufactured. 0.57

00:21:06.000 That lady has more preservatives in her than a box of McDonald's french fries. 1.00

00:21:11.000 It's insane.

00:21:13.000 But we all know what's going on here.

00:21:14.000 They are hiding her.

00:21:15.000 They are hiding her from the media because she's not capable.

00:21:17.000 She's not a capable candidate. 0.99

00:21:19.000 And the media are perfectly happy being treated this way.

00:21:21.000 That's the part that's amazing.

00:21:22.000 They're hiding Kamala.

00:21:23.000 The media are super happy to be treated this way.

00:21:26.000 Obviously, which seems pretty unhealthy, but I'll tell you something that is healthy.

00:21:29.000 That would be balance of nature.

00:21:30.000 See, I've got a busy schedule.

00:21:31.000 I'm flying around the country for work.

00:21:32.000 I'm constantly on the go.

00:21:33.000 A lot happening this election cycle.

00:21:36.000 Gotta keep my health at its tip-top best.

00:21:38.000 I exercise, I try to get enough sleep, I eat pretty well, and balance of nature fits right into my day-to-day.

00:21:42.000 Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and veggies every day.

00:21:45.000 It sounds miserable, time-consuming.

00:21:47.000 With balance of nature of fruits and veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement to ensure you get a wide variety of fruits and veggies daily.

00:21:53.000 Balance of nature takes fruits and veggies, they freeze-dry them, they turn them into a powder, and then they put them into a capsule.

00:21:58.000 You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day, and then your body knows exactly what to do with them.

00:22:02.000 It is kosher, which means that every morning when I have that protein smoothie, I put in some Balance of Nature, and it keeps me going strong.

00:22:28.000 Eugene Daniels of Politico Playbook.

00:22:31.000 He said, VP Kamala Harris took a few questions on the tarmac just now.

00:22:34.000 What were those questions?

00:22:36.000 When she would do a sit-down interview.

00:22:37.000 Would she do a debate with Trump?

00:22:39.000 Is she open to more debates?

00:22:42.000 If she felt bad because Republicans kept attacking Tim Walz.

00:22:46.000 And on why Trump originally backed out of the debate.

00:22:48.000 Again, those are not questions.

00:22:50.000 Those are softballs, clearly. 0.87

00:22:53.000 Wild stuff here.

00:22:55.000 So Donald Trump, again, he was on the offensive yesterday over at Mar-a-Lago.

00:23:00.000 He ripped into the press.

00:23:01.000 They were asking about his limited campaign schedule and he's like, um, have you noticed

00:23:04.000 that Kamala Harris is taking zero of your questions? 1.00

00:23:07.000 What a stupid question. 1.00

00:23:11.000 This is. 1.00

00:23:13.000 Why haven't you been?

00:23:18.000 Uh, because I'm a big fan of Kamala Harris.

00:23:26.000 Because I'm leading by a lot and because I'm letting their convention go through.

00:23:32.000 And I am campaigning a lot.

00:23:33.000 I'm doing tremendous amounts of taping here.

00:23:37.000 We have commercials that are at a level I don't think that anybody's ever done before.

00:23:42.000 Plus, in certain cases, I see many of you in the room where I'm speaking to you on phones, I'm speaking to radio, I'm speaking to television.

00:23:49.000 Television's coming over here.

00:23:51.000 Excuse me, what are we doing right now?

00:23:53.000 She's not doing any news conference.

00:23:54.000 You know why she's not doing it?

00:23:55.000 Because she can't do a news conference.

00:23:57.000 She doesn't know how to do a news conference. 1.00

00:23:58.000 She's not smart enough to do a news conference. 1.00

00:24:01.000 And I'm sorry, we need smart people to lead this country.

00:24:05.000 Okay, he's right about all of that.

00:24:07.000 So, did the press choose to focus on the fact that he happens to be correct and that Kamala Harris is not doing her job and they're not doing theirs?

00:24:13.000 Of course they're not going to focus on that.

00:24:14.000 They're complicit!

00:24:15.000 They're part of the conspiracy of silence surrounding Kamala Harris.

00:24:18.000 Instead, they decided to focus on the sort of random part of the Trump presser.

00:24:24.000 So, the thing about an hour-long Donald Trump presser is because it is disorganized, shall we say.

00:24:29.000 That means the media can always choose four or five headlines that they like out of the grab basket of things that Trump talks about.

00:24:35.000 So, for example, Donald Trump slammed Tim Walz's abortion record.

00:24:39.000 And he pointed out that in Minnesota, they actually changed the law to avoid punishment for doctors who didn't take care of babies who were accidentally born alive during an abortion.

00:24:49.000 Here was Trump.

00:24:51.000 The Democrats are really the radical ones on this because they're allowed to do abortion on the 8th and 9th month and even after birth.

00:24:59.000 If you look at your new governor from Minnesota, he's talking about, he's like the governor previous, the former governor.

00:25:10.000 I don't want to get him mixed up because Glenn is doing a good job and he's leading our He's leading our whole campaign in Virginia, Glenn Youngkin.

00:25:17.000 But previous to Glenn, the governor, he said the baby will be born, we will put the baby aside, and we will decide with the mother what we're going to do.

00:25:26.000 In other words, whether or not we're going to kill the baby.

00:25:29.000 Okay, so the media say he's mixing up Ralph Northam, who is the governor prior to Glenn Youngkin in Virginia, and Tim Walz, the current vice presidential candidate in Minnesota.

00:25:39.000 There's only one problem.

00:25:40.000 Trump happens to be right on the policy.

00:25:43.000 According to Roger Severino, post-birth abortion is real.

00:25:45.000 Harris-Walz support it.

00:25:47.000 At least five babies were born alive after botched abortions and left to die under Tim Walz's care.

00:25:51.000 Two of these struggling babies were given comfort care instead of medical care, allegedly in violation of state law.

00:25:55.000 How did Walls respond?

00:25:57.000 By repealing the very law exposing and outlawing this horror and replacing it with abortion on demand on the front end and infanticide on the back end.

00:26:03.000 So it wasn't even wrong on the policy.

00:26:05.000 Okay, then the media got very angry at Trump saying true things that he's not allowed to say because that's the way this works.

00:26:09.000 If a Democrat, if a Democrat were to say similar things, it would be totally fine.

00:26:13.000 If Trump says it, it's very bad.

00:26:14.000 So for example, Trump explained why Kamala Harris is rising in the polls.

00:26:18.000 Now if Kamala said the exact same thing, it would be slay queen, play Beyonce's Freedom and walk out that door snapping your fingers in a Z formation. 1.00

00:26:26.000 Let's just do this. 0.95

00:26:27.000 But if Trump says it, he's a racist or something. 0.96

00:26:28.000 Here we go.

00:26:29.000 What do you attribute her rising in the polls as becoming a more competitive race since 0.97

00:26:35.000 she's taken over? 1.00

00:26:36.000 Well, uh, she's a woman. 1.00

00:26:40.000 She represents certain groups of people.

00:26:45.000 Well, yes.

00:26:46.000 And they're all like, oh my God, he pointed out she's a woman.

00:26:48.000 That's her entire campaign. 1.00

00:26:49.000 Her entire campaign is she's a woman. 1.00

00:26:51.000 Joe Biden explicitly picked her for VP because she's a woman. 1.00

00:26:54.000 Now she's doing the whole own your power, girl. 1.00

00:26:57.000 First woman president, oh man.

00:27:00.000 And when he says she appeals to particular groups of people, she is the one who literally has campaign Zoom calls based on race, sex, and sexual orientation.

00:27:07.000 She's separating Americans by race. 1.00

00:27:09.000 She has Zoom calls with white dudes and gay ladies or whatever the hell it is. 1.00

00:27:14.000 But no questions, no questions at all. 0.99

00:27:16.000 You know, the media, they need to be fired and they need to be replaced with other people who are better at that.

00:27:21.000 You know, and we have to do that here at Daily Wire.

00:28:18.000 Okay, meanwhile, Trump said the thing that's unsayable.

00:28:21.000 It's so unsayable.

00:28:21.000 He said, Jewish Americans voting for Kamala should have their heads examined.

00:28:24.000 Okay, he is right about this. 0.79

00:28:26.000 He is totally 100% right.

00:28:27.000 Kamala Harris flirted with people who want to full-scale disarm the state of Israel in the face of its terrorist enemies yesterday.

00:28:35.000 Kamala Harris' first open statement as the presidential nominee was ripping into Israel's human rights record based on the lies of Hamas. 0.97

00:28:45.000 Ilhan Omar is openly campaigning for Tim Walz.

00:28:50.000 They literally said last week that they might pick Josh Shapiro, the clear and obvious frontrunner for the VP, and then they threw him out the window because he happened to be a Jew. 0.99

00:28:58.000 When Trump says that Jewish Americans are fools if they vote for this ticket, he is correct. 1.00

00:29:03.000 He is correct. 0.99

00:29:04.000 Now again, one of the weirdnesses about Jewish identity is you have plenty of people who are born Jewish because Judaism is an ethnicity. 0.97

00:29:12.000 It is not merely a religion.

00:29:14.000 Because of that, there are a bunch of people who are ethnically Jewish but have no relationship with Judaism or anything remotely resembling it.

00:29:21.000 Among these people would be, for example, Bernie Sanders and half the members of Congress who declare that they are Jewish for purposes of not being counted as white people.

00:29:28.000 But the reality is that if you care at all about Judaism, you should have some very serious questions about the Democratic Party at this point in time.

00:29:37.000 Here is Trump.

00:29:40.000 And I say it, if anybody I know is Jewish and they would vote for Kamala over me, they should have their head examined. 1.00

00:29:51.000 He is correct.

00:29:52.000 He is correct.

00:29:54.000 By the way, the latest indicator of this, according to the Jewish Insider, for several weeks, the city of Chicago has been sitting on a request from a pro-Israel group to hold a solidarity march during the Democratic National Convention, even while it granted permission for a coalition of pro-Palestinian activists to demonstrate when the proceedings kick off later this month.

00:30:11.000 The Israeli-American Council, a non-profit organization representing Israeli-Americans seeking to strengthen ties between the U.S.

00:30:16.000 and Israel, filed two applications with the Chicago DOT at the beginning of July.

00:30:21.000 They've not heard from the city.

00:30:22.000 Meanwhile, every single pro-terrorist group in Chicago is being given a permit to protest.

00:30:28.000 Meanwhile, Palestinian activist Laila Elabad, who's one of the people who met Kamala Harris the other day.

00:30:33.000 She is apparently Rashida Tlaib's sister or something.

00:30:36.000 She says that Kamala will lose Michigan if she doesn't cave dust, and Kamala knows it, which is why she's pandering to these people. 0.88

00:30:43.000 So it seems to me if you lose enough voters here in Paris, she probably will lose Michigan. 0.74

00:30:51.000 Yeah, 100%.

00:30:52.000 We are being asked to choose between a candidate that supports a far-right wing government to carry out war crimes against Palestinians.

00:31:01.000 I think right now we need more than ever from VP Harris a guarantee that she will adopt

00:31:09.000 the demands of our movement and adopt the demands of this coalition.

00:31:13.000 Again, these are the people that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are flirting with, not just that.

00:31:19.000 According to the Washington Examiner breaking this morning, Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas' October 7th attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler.

00:31:33.000 The imam, whose name is Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, joined other Muslim leaders in May 2023 about mosque security in a meeting with Walz's gubernatorial office in Minnesota.

00:31:43.000 He also spoke at a May 2020 event to call for peaceful protests with the governor.

00:31:48.000 In April 2019, that cleric delivered an invocation before Walz's state address.

00:31:54.000 Meanwhile, Zaman said on October 7th that, quote, he stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks.

00:32:02.000 Okay, so those are the types of people that the Harris campaign is bringing into the fold.

00:32:05.000 So when Trump says that, the scandal is not Trump saying it, the scandal is Harris walls and what they're doing.

00:32:09.000 Okay, so there's three categories of things happening at this Trump press here.

00:32:14.000 The good stuff where Trump is pointing out the deep and abiding flaws in the Harris walls platform campaign, the fact they're running away from the press.

00:32:21.000 There's the medium stuff where Trump is saying true things that the media are deliberately misconstruing or lying about.

00:32:26.000 And then there's sort of the distractible Trump.

00:32:28.000 And distractible Trump needs to be minimized because, as we have said, there's no room for error in this election cycle.

00:32:33.000 Trump needs this administration.

00:32:36.000 Harris Walls will make Joe Biden look like George Washington.

00:32:39.000 Harris Walls is a full-scale disaster area in the waiting for the economy, for the price of living.

00:32:45.000 For foreign policy, for social policy, it is almost impossible to imagine how bad Kamala Harris would be as president, along with Tim Walz as her vice president. 0.97

00:32:55.000 Horrifying.

00:32:56.000 Which means that distractible Trump needs to go away for a while.

00:33:00.000 There was some distractible Trump at the presser.

00:33:03.000 So, for example, he was ripping into Brian Kemp again.

00:33:06.000 Dude, Georgia is close.

00:33:07.000 Stop ripping into the popular Republican governor of Georgia who has endorsed you for the presidency.

00:33:12.000 Stop it.

00:33:14.000 I got him elected.

00:33:15.000 Without me, he wouldn't be governor.

00:33:16.000 I got him elected.

00:33:18.000 He was doing terribly.

00:33:19.000 I got him elected.

00:33:20.000 With that being said, I hope we can repair it, but if we don't, the people are still the people, and they're gonna vote.

00:33:25.000 We're leading in Georgia by a lot.

00:33:28.000 Okay, stop that.

00:33:29.000 Like, really, is that useful?

00:33:32.000 It happens to be largely factually incorrect, but also, is it useful?

00:33:36.000 Or Trump raging about Kamala's crowd sizes?

00:33:38.000 Like, is this the kind of stuff that's gonna win you the presidency?

00:33:42.000 I had 107,000 people in New Jersey.

00:33:45.000 You didn't report it.

00:33:47.000 I'm so glad you asked.

00:33:48.000 What did she have yesterday?

00:33:49.000 2,000 people?

00:33:50.000 If I ever had 2,000 people, you'd say my campaign is finished.

00:33:55.000 It's so dishonest, the press.

00:33:57.000 And here's a great example.

00:34:00.000 I had, in Michigan recently, 25,000 people and 25,000 people were just, we just couldn't get them in.

00:34:08.000 We had, in Harrisburg, 20-25,000 people and 20,000 people couldn't get in.

00:34:14.000 We had so many, nobody ever mentions that.

00:34:18.000 When she gets 1,500 people, and I saw it yesterday on ABC, they said, oh, the crowd was so big.

00:34:24.000 I have 10 times, 20 times, 30 times the crowd size.

00:34:28.000 And no, they never say the crowd is big.

00:34:29.000 That's why I'm always saying turn around the cameras.

00:34:34.000 The media bias is a real issue, but the crowd size obsession is not.

00:34:38.000 And this is not me saying that Trump is being terrible or anything like that.

00:34:42.000 The point is, when Trump is well-directed, when he directs himself, he is an absolute weapon.

00:34:49.000 And that's what he needs to be in this campaign, because this is too close.

00:34:52.000 She cannot become president because of failures by the Trump-Vance campaign.

00:34:57.000 That can't be a thing.

00:34:59.000 No mistakes here on in.

00:35:01.000 That's the kind of campaign that he needs to run, because Kamala is a target-rich environment.

00:35:06.000 She is, in fact, warm toward socialism.

00:35:08.000 Here she was yesterday talking about believing in the collective.

00:35:13.000 We believe in the collective.

00:35:16.000 We're not falling for these folks who are trying to divide us, trying to separate us, trying to pull us apart.

00:35:25.000 That's not where the strength lies.

00:35:30.000 The collective.

00:35:31.000 The strength is in the collective.

00:35:32.000 I mean, just say it out loud, lady.

00:35:34.000 And meanwhile, she's running away from her own record on everything.

00:35:37.000 Yesterday at a rally, she was like, I'll fight inflation day one.

00:35:40.000 Well, I noticed that it is day 1,297 of you being vice president and you haven't done a damn thing about inflation.

00:35:47.000 You know, when I was Attorney General, I went after price-fixing schemes.

00:35:52.000 And when I am President, it will be a day-one priority to fight to bring down prices.

00:35:58.000 I will take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging.

00:36:04.000 I will take on corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families.

00:36:10.000 I will take on big pharma and cap the cost of prescription drugs for all Americans.

00:36:19.000 Rent and price controls and cracking down on all the R&D.

00:36:23.000 That's her plan. 0.69

00:36:24.000 On day one, on day one, by the way, she's not been vice president.

00:36:27.000 Did you know that?

00:36:27.000 She's not been anywhere.

00:36:28.000 But she's also responsible for every decision that Joe Biden has made.

00:36:31.000 But she simultaneously is responsible for none of those decisions, which is pretty incredible.

00:36:35.000 It's an incredible feat.

00:36:36.000 In a second, we'll get to the walls problem that she has, because she's got a big Tim Walz problem, too.

00:36:41.000 It'd be nice if she answered some questions about it.

00:36:43.000 First, remember the incredible film What Is Woman, best documentary of the last 10 years?

00:36:46.000 Well, Matt Walsh got the same group of white guys back together to ask America's next burning question.

00:36:51.000 Am I racist?

00:36:52.000 Coming to theaters this September.

00:36:54.000 Matt went deep undercover into the cesspool of DEI insanity, rubbing elbows with professional race hustlers and diversity con artists. 0.55

00:37:00.000 Some would say he did the work.

00:37:01.000 Well, now it's your turn.

00:37:02.000 The date I need you to remember is Thursday, August 15th.

00:37:05.000 That is when the pre-sale tickets go on sale.

00:37:07.000 That is next week.

00:37:08.000 With your help, we're gonna stick it to the woke mob one ticket at a time. 0.95

00:37:11.000 That's how the theaters know to put it in the theater, by the way.

00:37:12.000 So if you pre-buy the tickets, get all the details, watch the official trailer at www.miracist.com.

00:37:19.000 Also, this Sunday, We are releasing a brand new episode of Sunday Special with Justice Neil Gorsuch.

00:37:24.000 Justice Gorsuch has served on the United States Supreme Court since 2017.

00:37:27.000 In our latest episode, we discuss his latest book, Overruled, the human toll of too much law and his inspiration for writing it.

00:37:32.000 Here's a little bit of the trailer.

00:37:34.000 If you look around the world, you're going to find better bills of rights than ours.

00:37:38.000 I mean, North Korea happens to have my favorite bill of rights. 0.99

00:37:42.000 It has everything we promise, all manner of good things, and even my favorite right, the right to relaxation, which I really need in the summertime after a long term.

00:37:52.000 But it isn't worth the paper it's written on.

00:37:54.000 Why isn't it worth the paper it's written on?

00:37:56.000 Because all power is concentrated in a single set of hands, or a single group's hands.

00:38:03.000 And that's what our framers knew, that men are no angels, as Madison said, and you have to assiduously divide and check and balance power at every turn.

00:38:13.000 And when we forget that, it's a danger I worry about.

00:38:18.000 Don't miss this awesome episode of the Sunday special with Justice, Neil Gorsuch.

00:38:29.000 Again, coming this Sunday.

00:38:30.000 Meanwhile, the Tim Walz problems are still percolating, and there are no answers.

00:38:34.000 He's gone too.

00:38:35.000 They're both missing.

00:38:36.000 Like, Ellen Page is just gone.

00:38:38.000 They're on the milk carton.

00:38:39.000 Where did they go?

00:38:41.000 No one knows.

00:38:42.000 It's insane.

00:38:43.000 It's insane.

00:38:45.000 So Kamala Harris is hoping that Tim Walz can prop up that blue wall, apparently. 1.00

00:38:49.000 That's gonna be hard when he is still not responding to stolen valor allegations.

00:38:53.000 According to MSNBC, the Harris campaign won't even respond to these allegations.

00:38:56.000 They're not even responding to the fact that apparently he bragged for years about being in Iraq and Afghanistan.

00:39:01.000 And according to his fellow soldiers, he abandoned his battalion as soon as he found out they were headed to Iraq so he could run for Congress instead.

00:39:09.000 Here's MSNBC.

00:39:10.000 No, we've got no comment.

00:39:10.000 None.

00:39:12.000 They are not specifically saying whether or not he misrepresented his time.

00:39:17.000 They're not really engaging specifically on the idea of whether or not, as the Trump campaign is saying, that he lied about this.

00:39:23.000 But they are saying, here's what he did say.

00:39:26.000 So it's interesting to see the campaign respond, the Harris campaign respond in this way.

00:39:31.000 They've been fast about responding.

00:39:32.000 They've been very clear and engaging when it comes to reporters on this, though we still have a question of whether or not he misspoke in that specific Oh, you mean he lied?

00:39:47.000 Is that what Yamiche Alcindor is saying, that he lied?

00:39:50.000 Is this something that he did that was a falsehood?

00:39:52.000 Funny way of saying lied.

00:39:54.000 Van Jones, again, the only honest man in left-wing media, he slammed the Harris campaign on Waltz's military issues.

00:40:01.000 It's conceivable that he's been loose with his language or said stuff that doesn't... People are human beings on these campaign trails.

00:40:12.000 But now he's running for a major position.

00:40:15.000 If he needs to clean it up, clean it up.

00:40:17.000 Reality is, if he said one or two things or said some things that turned out to be maybe a little bit too sloppy, fix it.

00:40:24.000 Because he's got a gazillion people who are willing to stand up for his character.

00:40:28.000 He's got gay students who are willing to stand up for his character.

00:40:31.000 He's got people he's served with willing to stand up for his character.

00:40:33.000 If this comes down to a character contest between this ticket and Donald Trump, we're going to win 50 states.

00:40:39.000 So let's just get this cleaned up and move on.

00:40:43.000 Okay, but they can't clean it up and they can't move on because he lied.

00:40:46.000 And he's been lying about his career the whole time.

00:40:48.000 And she introduced him in front of the entire American public as a head coach of a football team.

00:40:52.000 He was an assistant coach.

00:40:53.000 He's been introduced to the American public.

00:40:54.000 He's a war veteran.

00:40:55.000 He was never in a war zone.

00:40:56.000 That's his problem, okay?

00:40:58.000 If he said he's in a war zone, that's a him problem.

00:41:00.000 He's the one who's been fibbing about that for literally years.

00:41:03.000 There's a picture of him from 2004 saying, enduring freedom veterans against Bush.

00:41:08.000 He had not served in a combat zone enduring freedom. 0.92

00:41:11.000 Like, it's just, it's ridiculous. 0.98

00:41:13.000 It's ridiculous. 0.93

00:41:15.000 The good news is, again, their Praetorian Guard will come to their defense here with CNN's Breonna Keillor attacking J.D. 0.70

00:41:19.000 Vance's military service.

00:41:20.000 J.D.

00:41:21.000 Vance actually was in a war zone.

00:41:24.000 J.D.

00:41:24.000 Vance, as a messenger on this, may be an imperfect messenger.

00:41:28.000 Because we have, as you introduced him, as a combat correspondent, which was what his title was.

00:41:33.000 But when you dig a little deeper into that, he was a public affairs specialist.

00:41:38.000 Someone who did not see combat, which certainly the title, combat correspondent, kinda gives you a different impression.

00:41:47.000 Uh, no, that is not what that means.

00:41:48.000 At all.

00:41:49.000 I love that the media immediately shifts into attacking J.D.

00:41:51.000 Vance when Tim Walz is the one Who's been fibbing about where he served.

00:41:56.000 Amidst all of this, things continue to not be good on the planet Earth, where Kamala Harris is the current sitting vice president and maybe the acting president, because again, Joe Biden is no longer with us.

00:42:06.000 That's the amazing... Can I just explain how crazy this is?

00:42:10.000 That the president of the United States, the most powerful person in the world today, which means literally by military statistics, the most powerful person in world history, is non compos mentis.

00:42:20.000 We don't know where he is or what he is doing.

00:42:23.000 He can't speak out of his face hole and his brain doesn't work most of the hours of the day.

00:42:27.000 And we're supposed to be completely sanguine not only about that, but about the fact that his vice president is on the campaign trail answering no questions about what she is currently doing in the White House or how she plans to run things if made president of the United States. 0.96

00:42:39.000 This is all crazy towns.

00:42:41.000 It's crazy.

00:42:42.000 It's totally, it's nuts!

00:42:44.000 It would have made more sense if Biden just stepped out of the job.

00:42:47.000 But he's not stepping out of the job, he's still sitting around, pretending he's the President of the United States, and they're treating it like a consolation prize.

00:42:53.000 They're treating this like you can make him President Emeritus, and you can go to the back room and pretend to be President, and play with dolls all day, be like, oh look, here's, here's Xi Jinping, here's my doll of Xi Jinping, here's, here's my Vladimir Putin, they're gonna have a, a fight now, look at all that.

00:43:07.000 What the hell is going on?

00:43:09.000 Where is the president?

00:43:10.000 Where is the vice president?

00:43:12.000 These are all empty suits.

00:43:13.000 The system is running things.

00:43:15.000 There is a system that is running things.

00:43:16.000 And that system continues to run these things and run them incredibly poorly.

00:43:21.000 Meanwhile, there's still the threat of burgeoning war in the Middle East.

00:43:23.000 Iran continues every single night to threaten Israel. 0.94

00:43:26.000 Now, they haven't done so because they understand that if they actually go too far, Israel will obliterate their nuclear program and their oil fields, and so they're being quite careful about this. 0.75

00:43:34.000 One of the weird side effects of the horror show that has been the Biden-Harris administration is that America's allies are now beginning to realize they cannot count on America, and they're going about their business kind of on their own.

00:43:46.000 Israel has decided it's just gonna kill its enemies now. 0.75

00:43:48.000 And it's not going to listen to the weird mumblings of Joe Biden, which is why they knocked off Ismail Hania, the political leader of Hamas, as well as the number two in Hezbollah.

00:43:57.000 And they made very clear to the Lebanese government that if Hezbollah starts shooting off thousands of rockets into Israel and targeting Israeli cities, that the Beirut airport will be inoperative the first hour, the electrical grid will be inoperative that same exact hour, that basically all of Lebanon will be shut down.

00:44:15.000 Israel has made that perfectly clear.

00:44:17.000 The Biden administration, fearing exactly that, has now gone and done the right thing and told Iran, if you do this, things are going to be very bad for you because we can't keep Israel on the chain.

00:44:24.000 Well, you know what would have been nice is if they had done this from the beginning.

00:44:27.000 This entire war would have been over in March if the Biden administration had not intervened on behalf of the Iranians.

00:44:33.000 Pretty incredible work there by Biden-Harris. 0.98

00:44:35.000 Meanwhile, over in Ukraine, the Ukrainians are saying, we're not going to wait around for the United States to get its ass in gear.

00:44:43.000 According to the Washington Post, Ukrainian troops battled for a Thursday Thursday in Russia's Kursk region, occupying villages and part of a town, in what has become the Western-backed military's largest cross-border incursion since the Kremlin invasion in 2022. 0.58

00:44:55.000 U.S.

00:44:55.000 Ukrainian and Russian officials all acknowledged the ongoing attack, which stunned Moscow and appeared to involve the use of armored fighting vehicles donated to Kiev by the United States and its European partners, a development that drew no immediate objection from the Biden administration, despite its past restrictions on such use of American weaponry.

00:45:11.000 It looks very much as though the Ukrainians are like, you know what? 1.00

00:45:13.000 We're gonna do what we gotta do.

00:45:14.000 And if you don't like it, tough.

00:45:16.000 And you know what?

00:45:16.000 Good for them.

00:45:17.000 Because the fact is that the United States has been a horrifyingly bad ally to most of its allies all over the world during the Biden-Harris administration.

00:45:26.000 But no questions for Joe Biden.

00:45:27.000 And no questions for Kamala Harris.

00:45:28.000 That's the important thing.

00:45:29.000 They must never be forced to answer a single question at any point.

00:45:33.000 Well, one piece of good news here We talked about this yesterday.

00:45:37.000 It was breaking news after the show.

00:45:39.000 But we've talked on the show about Global Alliance for Responsible Media.

00:45:41.000 You'll remember that I testified before Congress about the Global Alliance for Responsible Media.

00:45:45.000 It's effectively a third-party censorship group.

00:45:47.000 All of the advertising agencies, 90% of all advertising dollars, made themselves subject to GARM standards.

00:45:53.000 GARM standards were subjective standards whereby Effectively, all left-wing programming was deemed advertiser safe, and all right-wing programming was deemed advertiser unfriendly.

00:46:03.000 And this deprived AdDollars to pretty much everybody on the right side of the aisle.

00:46:07.000 The Daily Wire, to Breitbart, to Fox News, to X, to Twitter.

00:46:12.000 Well now, GARM has shut down.

00:46:13.000 We exposed them.

00:46:14.000 The House Judiciary Committee.

00:46:16.000 We hear at Daily Wire.

00:46:17.000 Elon Musk.

00:46:18.000 Rumble, which threatened to sue them.

00:46:20.000 Everyone came together to fight, and GARM is no more, according to the New York Times.

00:46:25.000 An influential advertising industry group said it would shut down after being sued this week by X, Elon Musk's social media company.

00:46:31.000 GARM told its members it would cease operations two days after Musk accused the group of orchestrating a boycott against X.

00:46:37.000 Well, the World Federation of Advertisers denied that GARM's work had run afoul of the law.

00:46:41.000 It said the nonprofit did not have the financial resources to continue operating while it fights X in court.

00:46:46.000 Now, the reality is what happened here is that GARM was humiliated.

00:46:49.000 Its advertising partners were humiliated because it turns out that most people aren't real fond of advertisers boycotting one side of the aisle.

00:46:55.000 It makes them a little annoyed.

00:46:57.000 And the advertisers don't like that kind of blowback.

00:46:58.000 Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

00:47:00.000 We at The Daily Wire have been actively fighting this in the courts, in Congress, in the public eye.

00:47:05.000 We're very proud of that particular victory.

00:47:07.000 It is good for the country.

00:47:09.000 Meanwhile, the situation in the UK continues to be horrifying, mainly because the UK government has decided that the big threat to the UK is freedom.

00:47:16.000 Freedom is the big threat.

00:47:17.000 Not mass migration, not the shifting cultural overlay in the UK, thanks to the insane migration policy of the British government over the course of the last few decades.

00:47:26.000 The big threat is censorship.

00:47:29.000 The big threat is freedom of speech.

00:47:31.000 That's the big threat.

00:47:32.000 So yesterday, they put out an all-time Orwellian post.

00:47:35.000 The government of the UK, quote, think before you post.

00:47:39.000 Think before you post, because they're basically saying we will prosecute you if you say a bad social media post.

00:47:45.000 If you say a bad post, we will put you in jail.

00:47:49.000 The Crown Prosecution Service tweeted, think before you post.

00:47:51.000 Content that incites violence or hatred isn't just harmful, it can be illegal.

00:47:57.000 Okay, or incites hatred, not just incites violence, incites hatred.

00:48:00.000 So incitement of violence in the United States is also illegal. 0.60

00:48:02.000 If I say, go shoot that guy, that's illegal. 1.00

00:48:06.000 If I say, this person is a schmuck, not illegal, even though you might hate him because he's a schmuck. 1.00

00:48:12.000 In the UK apparently, if you say that migration policy has been horrifying and that importation of a bunch of people from countries that hate Western values is bad for the country, that might be deemed inciting of hatred and you might be prosecuted. 0.98

00:48:24.000 Think before you post amazing stuff from the government of the UK.

00:48:29.000 Sky News said the same thing.

00:48:30.000 They said you need to stop sharing videos of riots because you might be prosecuted for it.

00:48:35.000 However you, you know, think you're acting innocently on social media, whatever platform it is, you're just sharing something for whatever reason, that could potentially be a criminal offence.

00:48:45.000 And look, it's not an idle threat either, because the Crime Prosecution Service were keen to point out that they've made a number of charges in relation to stirring up of racial hatred online, one of which this morning was for distributing a recording that could, in intending to stir up racial hatred.

00:49:02.000 Amazing.

00:49:03.000 So if you post video of things that are happening in the UK, maybe you'll go to jail.

00:49:05.000 this sort of thing. So it's a very, very clear message based in the harsh reality, if you

00:49:10.000 like, that if you do this kind of thing, you are potentially committing a criminal offense.

00:49:14.000 Amazing, amazing. So if you post video of things that are happening in the UK, maybe

00:49:21.000 you'll go to jail. So Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who knows a fair bit about radical Islamism,

00:49:25.000 considering that she came from a country in which she was forcibly engaged in it. 0.72

00:49:32.000 She has a fascinating piece over at her blog, Restoration Bulletin, quote, On July 29th,

00:49:37.000 11 young girls aged six and nine years old were stabbed multiple times at a Taylor Swift

00:49:40.000 themed birthday party.

00:49:41.000 Three of them died, two in pools of their own blood, one later in the hospital.

00:49:44.000 There is now rioting across England.

00:49:46.000 The response to this rioting may tell us everything we need to know about the skewed preferences of Europe's political elite and those of Britain's in particular.

00:49:52.000 The unabated demonization of the white working class and the failure of the mass immigration project produces a society in which minority groups view themselves and the nation as part of a cohesive whole.

00:50:00.000 The three young girls were six-year-old B.B. 0.71

00:50:02.000 King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, and nine-year-old Alice Da Silva Aguiar.

00:50:07.000 They were killed by a 17-year-old named Axel Rudakubana, who was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents.

00:50:13.000 The police have not yet released any information about motive.

00:50:15.000 In the immediate aftermath, protesters suspecting an Islamic terror attack gathered outside the Southport Mosque.

00:50:20.000 They were met with police and dogs, and violence erupted between protesters and the local forces.

00:50:23.000 This violence has now surfaced in pockets across the country in protests against mass immigration.

00:50:28.000 It should go without saying that all violent disorder which endangers lives and destroys property is unacceptable.

00:50:32.000 There's no excuse that justifies riots, attacks on citizens, property damage, and arson.

00:50:36.000 This red line applies to all individuals or groups on the political spectrum from far right to far left and just as much to all ethnic and religious minorities regardless of their numbers or social status.

00:50:45.000 Unfortunately, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer did not say this in his statement on the developments.

00:50:49.000 The Prime Minister decided instead to single out what he calls the far-right and made a point of stressing the need to keep Muslims and minority communities safe.

00:50:56.000 In this speech, which focuses not on the spark which ignited this unrest, but rather on Islamophobia and far-right thuggery, you can see how the Prime Minister might be gearing up to implement his de facto blasphemy laws, which I warned about prior to the general election. 0.63

00:51:08.000 Sir Keir's rhetoric serves to embolden disaffected Muslim youths by furthering the narrative that Muslims are persecuted in Western countries.

00:51:14.000 It is this narrative Islamists seized upon to radicalize the population and stir young men's violence. 0.74

00:51:19.000 The response also serves to demoralize the British population, who have found that their extreme concern over the effects of mass immigration falls on deaf ears.

00:51:28.000 She is correct about all of this, of course.

00:51:31.000 She says, And again, she is right about that.

00:51:33.000 in a sense among Britons, that there is a two-tiered application of policing,

00:51:36.000 that minority communities are treated with kid gloves in comparison to native Britons.

00:51:39.000 The moniker two-tiered care has latched itself onto the man who's only been prime minister for a month.

00:51:45.000 And again, she is right about that.

00:51:49.000 She points out the vast change in the status of religion and ethnicity in Great Britain

00:51:55.000 and how this has impacted life in Great Britain.

00:51:58.000 That in fact, importing millions of people who don't like your way of life might not be a great policy.

00:52:05.000 you And by the way, this is having consequences in other parts of the continent, too.

00:52:11.000 Apparently, a bunch of Taylor Swift concerts just got killed because ISIS was planning wide-scale attacks on the concerts.

00:52:19.000 According to Karl Nehammer, the chancellor of Austria, quote, the suspects actually had very specific and detailed plans to cause a tragedy on the scale of Paris, Manchester, or Moscow.

00:52:29.000 Mr. Nehemer said that two people who are associated with ISIS, arrested less than 24 hours earlier, wanted to leave a trail of blood.

00:52:36.000 Swift had scheduled three concerts in Vienna.

00:52:38.000 She canceled all of them.

00:52:41.000 The Austrian authorities did not publicly identify either of the people arrested, but the main suspect was a 19-year-old man, radicalized online, who swore an oath of allegiance to the Islamic State.

00:52:51.000 Yes, it turns out that importing vast populations who hate your country and your way of life might not have been the world's best idea.

00:52:58.000 And refusal to acknowledge the failure of multiculturalism on the part of the social and cultural left is going to lead to the dissolution of the social fabric in all of these places.

00:53:08.000 Alrighty, in just one second, we'll get to New body cam footage from the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

00:53:14.000 Remember that time?

00:53:14.000 Remember that time somebody shot Donald Trump in the ear?

00:53:17.000 Almost killed him?

00:53:18.000 And now you don't remember any of it because the media have obscured all of it?

00:53:20.000 Well, there's more body cam footage showing the dramatic failure of the Secret Service and local police.

00:53:58.000 Is America inherently racist?

00:53:59.000 The word inherent is challenging that.

00:54:01.000 You want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument?

00:54:04.000 America is racist to its bones.

00:54:06.000 So inherently? 0.98
