The Ben Shapiro Show - Trump’s CRUISING, Kamala’s CRASHING

00:00:00.000 Well, folks, we have just a couple of weeks until the big 2024 election, and Donald Trump has all the momentum.

00:00:06.000 We'll get to that in a moment.

00:00:07.000 First, in one week, MI Races, the decade's number one documentary, streams exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.

00:00:12.000 That is coming October 28th.

00:00:14.000 Remember, you need a Daily Wire Plus membership to watch.

00:00:24.000 Okay, so the state of the race, we are now two weeks out from the election.

00:00:28.000 Donald Trump currently has all the momentum.

00:00:30.000 Not some of the momentum, all the momentum.

00:00:32.000 And this has been a wild race because the momentum shifts have been insane.

00:00:36.000 When Joe Biden was in the race, then Donald Trump had all the momentum.

00:00:38.000 And then Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris was put into the middle of the race. 1.00

00:00:43.000 And suddenly there was joy and suddenly there was wonder.

00:00:46.000 And all the momentum shifted over to the Democrats.

00:00:48.000 And then the air slowly came out of the balloon.

00:00:50.000 And it appears that Donald Trump has regained momentum not only in the swing states, but nationally.

00:00:55.000 Right now, in the battleground states, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Donald Trump leads in Michigan.

00:01:00.000 He leads in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia.

00:01:05.000 Again, if he were to win the election, all he needs to do is win Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia.

00:01:09.000 And one of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

00:01:11.000 He is currently leading in the polling average in all three.

00:01:14.000 According to RealClearPolitics, he also happens to be leading in Nevada.

00:01:18.000 So if the election were held today, no toss-ups.

00:01:20.000 He would win 312 electoral votes according to that RealClearPolitics polling average.

00:01:25.000 In the national average, the spread is in favor of Harris by one point, but...

00:01:30.000 Of the last six polls that have been taken, Donald Trump is now leading in four of them.

00:01:34.000 So that essentially means that nationally speaking, it's a toss-up.

00:01:37.000 If it's a toss-up nationally, Trump is going to win the election.

00:01:39.000 In order for Kamala Harris to win this election, she probably needs to be up at least two and a half to three points in the popular vote. 1.00

00:01:45.000 She does not appear to have those numbers behind her right now unless the polls are very, very wrong. 0.74

00:01:50.000 What's more, her campaign is flagging.

00:01:52.000 She's totally disconnected from the American people. 0.97

00:01:55.000 In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal the way she is attempting to reach out now she has been relegated to reaching out to the Liz Cheney voter There aren't that many of them, folks.

00:02:05.000 The people who just love Liz Cheney so much, the disaffected Republicans who love Liz Cheney, and now are going to move on over from Donald Trump to Kamala Harris.

00:02:13.000 Those people are incredibly rare.

00:02:15.000 That number is vanishingly small.

00:02:17.000 But according to the Wall Street Journal, Harris, who sharpened her criticisms of Donald Trump over the weekend, is expected to hold events on Monday with former GOP representative Liz Cheney in suburbs in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

00:02:28.000 That have been shifting away from the Republican Party.

00:02:30.000 She's also hosting separate get-out-the-vote rallies later in the week with former President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in Georgia and Michigan.

00:02:37.000 Swing states where Harris needs to run up large margins in the urban centers and suburbs.

00:02:41.000 So she's now relying on a sort of halo effect of the Obamas to bring out the black vote in Georgia and Michigan. 1.00

00:02:46.000 That is not going to work.

00:02:47.000 Hillary Clinton tried the same thing in 2016. 0.87

00:02:50.000 And she's relying on Liz Cheney to bring out the suburban vote in, say, Pittsburgh. 1.00

00:02:55.000 Good luck with that.

00:02:58.000 Apparently, she's trying to target voters who backed former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley over Trump in the GOP primaries. 1.00

00:03:04.000 But let me make this very, very clear.

00:03:06.000 Nikki Haley voters are not going to vote for Kamala Harris.

00:03:10.000 One of the reasons that Nikki Haley voters really like Nikki Haley is, for example, her extremely pro-Israel foreign policy.

00:03:16.000 They are not moving over to Kamala Harris, who, as we will see, is a double talker when it comes to Israel policy at best.

00:03:23.000 So she is flailing around right now.

00:03:25.000 How much is she flailing? 1.00

00:03:27.000 She's flailing so much that the Washington Post editorial board put out a piece saying that what she should do in this campaign is commit to having a big 250th birthday celebration for the country in 2026. 0.99

00:03:39.000 I'm not even kidding.

00:03:40.000 So this is their strategy.

00:03:41.000 They need to recapture the feeling of patriotism by pledging that in July of 2026, she will throw a giant party for the American semi-quincentennial.

00:03:53.000 I'm sorry, this is what you got?

00:03:55.000 This is what's in your bag?

00:03:56.000 You got nothing.

00:03:57.000 You got nothing.

00:03:58.000 And you can tell that the momentum is with President Trump.

00:04:01.000 So over the weekend, it was Kamala Harris' birthday.

00:04:04.000 Kamala Harris decided that she was going to celebrate that with Stevie Wonder. 0.95

00:04:07.000 She went to a historically black church, and she did some sort of birthday routine with Stevie Wonder.

00:04:11.000 and here's what that sounded like Let us off again You know that love can win Let it open, hold it in Clap your hands and sing Happy birthday Happy birthday Feeling the vibes?

00:04:29.000 It's hard to say Feeling that joy, are you?

00:04:32.000 Oh boy.

00:04:41.000 A little pitchy, dawg.

00:04:42.000 I mean, listen, Stevie Wonder is 74 years old, so I get it.

00:04:45.000 But by the same token, if that's how you're spending your weekend in the closing days of the campaign, you got a problem.

00:04:52.000 Meanwhile, here was Donald Trump over the weekend.

00:04:53.000 So Donald Trump went to the Steelers-Jets game.

00:04:56.000 Here was his reception at the Steelers-Jets game.

00:05:01.000 USA! USA! USA! And then a woman ran onto the field waving a pro-Trump sign during the Jets-Steelers game as well.

00:05:15.000 Again, there's a Pittsburgh crowd.

00:05:16.000 This is in the middle of Pennsylvania.

00:05:17.000 So she's campaigning with Stevie Wonder for her birthday, and he's at the Steelers-Jets game getting standing ovations and having people run onto the field with pro-Trump signs.

00:05:25.000 And that wasn't the best thing that Trump did all weekend.

00:05:27.000 So the left is losing their minds this morning because Donald Trump did something unthinkable.

00:05:32.000 He went to a McDonald's, and he worked the Fry Station, and then he worked the drive-thru window.

00:05:36.000 Now, this is like old school politicking in the United States.

00:05:39.000 It's charming.

00:05:40.000 It's funny.

00:05:41.000 It was meant to highlight the disconnect between what Kamala Harris says she is and what she is.

00:05:45.000 So you'll recall that she has now claimed multiple times that she worked at McDonald's while she was a college student.

00:05:49.000 And there's some fairly serious questions about whether that's true or not.

00:05:52.000 She has yet to name which McDonald's she actually worked at.

00:05:54.000 There are no records of her having worked at McDonald's, so far as anyone is aware.

00:05:57.000 The Washington Free Beacon has done some pretty deep research on this, and they've concluded that they can come up with basically nothing other than her word that she worked at McDonald's.

00:06:06.000 Why is that a big deal?

00:06:07.000 It's not really a big deal, except that it undermines any claim of authenticity that she has, because she is completely ersatz.

00:06:13.000 She is the vinyl of actual human beings. 0.99

00:06:16.000 She is not made of anything organic as a candidate.

00:06:20.000 So Trump goes to this McDonald's in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which of course is the same place where somebody tried to assassinate him.

00:06:28.000 And he works the drive-thru window and he looks perfectly authentic in there.

00:06:32.000 He looks totally comfortable around the Fry Station.

00:06:34.000 He looks like he's having a good time.

00:06:36.000 By the way, you can tell a winning campaign from a losing campaign by who's having a better time on the campaign trail.

00:06:40.000 Losing campaigns are relentless and grueling and annoying, and the candidate seems weathered and doesn't want to be there.

00:06:47.000 And that's how it feels with Kamala Harris.

00:06:49.000 Trump, meanwhile, I mean, again, I've seen President Trump Like, a week ago.

00:06:54.000 In person.

00:06:55.000 We went to the O-Hell together in New York.

00:06:57.000 I had him on the show.

00:06:58.000 Donald Trump is in a very good mood.

00:07:00.000 He is definitely enjoying this campaign.

00:07:02.000 Kamala Harris is definitely not enjoying this campaign. 1.00

00:07:04.000 Just like Hillary Clinton, she cannot explain why she's running neck and neck with Donald Trump at this point in time.

00:07:10.000 So Trump shows up at the drive-thru.

00:07:13.000 And he's working at the drive-thru.

00:07:15.000 And here is what it looked like.

00:07:17.000 Thank you.

00:07:18.000 Have a good time.

00:07:20.000 Thank you.

00:07:22.000 It's cute.

00:07:24.000 This is fun.

00:07:24.000 I could do this all day.

00:07:25.000 I wouldn't mind this show.

00:07:27.000 I like this show.

00:07:28.000 I think I might come back and do it again.

00:07:30.000 Thank you.

00:07:31.000 Look at that!

00:07:33.000 Look at that!

00:07:34.000 Thank you, Mr.

00:07:35.000 President.

00:07:37.000 You made it possible for ordinary people like us.

00:07:40.000 Oh, you're not ordinary.

00:07:41.000 I mean, thank you so much, Mr.

00:07:43.000 President.

00:07:44.000 I can see.

00:07:44.000 We pray for you, and you are the type of person who wants to be the President.

00:07:49.000 Thank you very much.

00:07:49.000 Thank you so much.

00:07:50.000 So nice.

00:07:51.000 Thank you very much.

00:07:53.000 Thank you, Mr.

00:07:55.000 President.

00:07:55.000 When you think about it, I guess that's right.

00:07:56.000 Thank you very much.

00:07:58.000 Yes, sir.

00:08:00.000 I gotta say, he's great at this.

00:08:02.000 Okay, I'm sorry.

00:08:03.000 This is like great old school politics.

00:08:04.000 I don't care whether you like Donald Trump or you hate Donald Trump.

00:08:06.000 He is excellent at this.

00:08:08.000 It's a special quality that some politicians have, some figures have.

00:08:11.000 He is amazingly good one-on-one with people.

00:08:14.000 So, President Trump, I introduced him to the family of a hostage that's being held in Gaza, an American citizen.

00:08:21.000 And President Trump speaks to people as though they're family.

00:08:24.000 That is how he talks to them.

00:08:26.000 And so here you can see it.

00:08:27.000 People are driving up.

00:08:28.000 He's having full conversations with them.

00:08:30.000 Donald Trump enjoys humans.

00:08:32.000 Kamala Harris doesn't look like she's ever met a human, at least not when she's day drinking.

00:08:36.000 And so he looks super comfortable.

00:08:38.000 He's over there working the fry machine.

00:08:41.000 He posted a TikTok video about always wanting to work at McDonald's and how she had a phony story about working at McDonald's.

00:08:50.000 I'm looking for a job, and I've always wanted to work at McDonald's, but I never did.

00:08:54.000 I'm running against somebody that said she did, but it turned out to be a totally phony story, so...

00:09:00.000 President Trump!

00:09:01.000 Well, that's a good-looking group.

00:09:02.000 Hello, everybody.

00:09:04.000 I'm having a lot of fun here, everybody.

00:09:07.000 Look at all the fake news of it.

00:09:10.000 I'm sorry, that is a great photo op.

00:09:12.000 Okay, because it turns out that Americans, you know what they really like? 0.55

00:09:14.000 McDonald's.

00:09:15.000 They really, really like McDonald's.

00:09:16.000 It's like a historic American food chain.

00:09:18.000 The most historic American food chain.

00:09:20.000 And you just work in the fry counter as though it's totally normal for him.

00:09:24.000 A billionaire.

00:09:24.000 And he looks totally comfortable.

00:09:26.000 I'm not sure a lot of other politicians would be able to get away with this.

00:09:29.000 Seriously.

00:09:29.000 It would look completely fake.

00:09:31.000 For Trump, it doesn't look fake at all.

00:09:32.000 That dude eats McDonald's like all the time.

00:09:34.000 This is a dude who, when he was the actual president of the United States, he had a giant meal sponsored at the White House in the giant White House reception room that was just filled with fast food from places like McDonald's.

00:09:46.000 And you can see he connects with the normal voter very, very, very well.

00:09:49.000 He's not on stage with Stevie Wonder.

00:09:51.000 He's out there connecting with the average everyday voter in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

00:09:55.000 I mean, look at these pictures.

00:09:57.000 First of all, I have to admit that this is an AI-generated campaign.

00:10:00.000 It just feels like this is all an AI hallucination.

00:10:02.000 Look at these pictures.

00:10:03.000 Here's President Trump reaching out, talking to a person in the car.

00:10:07.000 He's handing them a McDonald's bag.

00:10:08.000 And that's how I defeated crime.

00:10:10.000 The Hamburglar bad, terrible guy. 0.91

00:10:12.000 Died like a dog.

00:10:14.000 Here he is working the fry counter, looking perfectly comfortable.

00:10:18.000 I mean, honest to goodness, his tie color matches the McDonald's red.

00:10:22.000 It's pretty phenomenal.

00:10:23.000 I mean, this is just a great campaign.

00:10:25.000 And people were out of their minds upset.

00:10:27.000 Super duper duper upset.

00:10:29.000 Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post and MSNBC. It's like, did Donald Trump violate campaign finance laws by working at a McDonald's?

00:10:36.000 Like, this is what you got.

00:10:37.000 This is your connection with the American people.

00:10:39.000 Did Donald Trump violate campaign finance laws by working the drive-thru at a McDonald's in Bucks County, Pennsylvania?

00:10:45.000 Good luck with this one.

00:10:48.000 Trump also stopped by a McDonald's in Bucks County today where he worked briefly as a fry cooker without a hairnet, I might add.

00:10:57.000 He also said he was paying for some of the meals.

00:11:01.000 How is that not a campaign finance violation?

00:11:04.000 Anyway, when Trump showed up, he once again falsely claimed that Vice President Harris lied about working at McDonald's as a college student.

00:11:14.000 You know, it's kind of hilarious how Harris is so live-in large, rent-free, and Trump's strangely co-opped head that he felt it necessary to put on this political stunt.

00:11:25.000 Well, I mean, I feel like he's living rather rent-free in your head when you're talking about campaign finance violations for him paying for somebody's Happy Meal.

00:11:33.000 Seriously.

00:11:34.000 Well, speaking of living rent-free in your head, maybe when it comes to your business, you've been thinking about AI recently.

00:11:40.000 Well, you should be, because it can make a huge difference in your business.

00:11:44.000 We're already working with AI here at The Daily Wire on a wide variety of subjects.

00:11:48.000 AI is amazing.

00:11:49.000 Seriously, it's incredible.

00:11:50.000 It might be the most important new computer technology ever.

00:11:53.000 It is storming every industry.

00:11:54.000 Literally billions of dollars are being invested.

00:11:56.000 So buckle up for the change.

00:11:57.000 The problem is AI needs a lot of speed and processing power.

00:12:00.000 So how can your business compete without costs spiraling out of control?

00:12:03.000 It's time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud.

00:12:18.000 And of course, nobody does data better than Oracle does.

00:12:20.000 So you can now train your AI models at twice the speed and less than half the cost of other clouds.

00:12:25.000 If you're not using AI for your business, you're missing out.

00:13:46.000 He's garrulous.

00:13:46.000 He's like telling people, the media are asking him questions as he's working the drive-thru.

00:13:50.000 They ask him about Kamala Harris' birthday.

00:13:51.000 It's a happy birthday to her.

00:13:54.000 Donald Trump, you can tell when he's in a good mood.

00:13:56.000 When Donald Trump is in a bad mood, he gets mean.

00:13:58.000 When he's in a good mood, he's very generous with everyone, including his opponents.

00:14:01.000 Here we go.

00:14:04.000 Today's Kamala's birthday.

00:14:06.000 It's Kamala's birthday?

00:14:07.000 She's turning 60.

00:14:09.000 Do you want to say anything?

00:14:10.000 Yes, I would say happy birthday Kamala.

00:14:13.000 She's turning 60.

00:14:16.000 Did you get her some fries?

00:14:17.000 I think I'll get her some flowers. 0.72

00:14:19.000 Why not to beat her again?

00:14:20.000 Maybe I'll get her some fries. 0.98

00:14:21.000 You're right.

00:14:22.000 I'll give her some McDonald's. 0.96

00:14:23.000 I'll get her a McDonald's hamburger.

00:14:25.000 No, it is her birthday.

00:14:25.000 Thank you.

00:14:27.000 It is true, right?

00:14:28.000 Happy birthday, Kamala.

00:14:30.000 Happy birthday.

00:14:31.000 See you later.

00:14:31.000 Bye.

00:14:32.000 Thank you, everybody.

00:14:33.000 Okay, that's great.

00:14:34.000 I'm sorry that he's doing the campaign right and she is doing the campaign wrong.

00:14:39.000 And it wasn't just the McDonald's stop over the weekend.

00:14:41.000 The Al Smith dinner was held over the weekend.

00:14:43.000 So the Al Smith dinner is sort of this signal Catholic dinner that happens every presidential cycle where the candidates show up and they make a bunch of jokes about the other guy and about themselves.

00:14:52.000 And Kamala Harris ditched it. 1.00

00:14:53.000 So Kamala Harris doesn't show up.

00:14:55.000 Maybe it's because she likes abortion all the way into the ninth month. 1.00

00:14:58.000 Maybe it's because she's referring to the children.

00:15:00.000 Whatever it is, her priorities do not match the priorities of Catholics. 0.89

00:15:02.000 It's a major problem for her campaign, given the fact that somewhere between one-fifth and one-quarter of the swing voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania are Catholic.

00:15:10.000 And they are turning against her in large numbers.

00:15:12.000 Jim Gaffigan, who is not a Republican by any stretch of the imagination, he has expressed ire at Donald Trump before.

00:15:18.000 He's most famous for being a somewhat family-friendly comedian.

00:15:21.000 He was ripping into, but he's a Catholic.

00:15:23.000 He was ripping into Kamala Harris.

00:15:24.000 Why didn't she show up?

00:15:25.000 Anybody could have shown her.

00:15:26.000 Like, she was invited.

00:15:27.000 She could have shown. 0.87

00:15:28.000 I mean, this is a great way to piss off Catholics right here. 1.00

00:15:28.000 She didn't. 1.00

00:15:32.000 22% of Americans identify as Catholic.

00:15:37.000 Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state.

00:15:42.000 I'm sorry, why is Vice President Harris not here?

00:15:46.000 I mean, consider this.

00:15:56.000 This is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New York City.

00:16:03.000 This is a layup for the Democratic nominee.

00:16:08.000 I mean, in her defense, I mean, she did find time to appear on The View, Howard Stern, Colbert, and the longtime staple of campaigning, The Call Her Daddy podcast.

00:16:26.000 Jim Gaffigan sounded like me up there.

00:16:29.000 I mean, by the way, the reason she doesn't want to appear in front of Catholics and Jews in New York City, it turns out a lot of Jews in New York City, not huge Kamala Harris fans, again, given the fact that she has been making time with the pro-Hamas contingent, and the Catholics, not real hot on Kamala these days, given the fact that people like Gretchen Whitmer are doing videos mocking Catholic rituals like communion.

00:16:48.000 Here is Jim Gaffigan going off on the Democrats again.

00:16:51.000 Again, this is not Trump.

00:16:52.000 This is Jim Gaffigan at the Al Smith dinner over the weekend.

00:16:56.000 Yeah, this has been an interesting presidential campaign.

00:16:59.000 The Democrats have been telling us Trump, Trump's reelection is a threat to democracy.

00:17:06.000 In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent and installed Kamala Harris.

00:17:17.000 In other words, all her dreams have come true.

00:17:22.000 Really?

00:17:22.000 It really makes you consider the power of prayer, right Cardinal?

00:17:27.000 Sometimes prayers take three and a half years and a George Clooney op-ed.

00:17:33.000 Wow, brutal hit there from Jim Gaffigan.

00:17:36.000 Again, Jim Gaffigan is not a Republican by any stretch of the imagination.

00:17:40.000 So what did Kamala Harris actually do for the Alice Smith dinner? 0.99

00:17:43.000 She decided to send a truly insulting skit with Molly Shannon from SNL playing a Catholic schoolgirl because there is nothing that Catholics love more. 0.85

00:17:52.000 Then characters who are specifically designed to mock Catholics.

00:17:55.000 They love it.

00:17:56.000 They love it so much.

00:17:57.000 They love it.

00:17:57.000 When Molly Shannon plays a stereotypical Catholic schoolgirl from Saturday Night Live, Mary Catherine Gallagher.

00:18:04.000 And again, her character is a mockery of a Catholic schoolgirl. 0.89

00:18:07.000 Molly Shannon, by the way, is currently 60 years old.

00:18:12.000 She's the same age as Kamala Harris.

00:18:13.000 So you have two 60-year-olds showing up in a video, a skit video, for the Al Smith dinner.

00:18:19.000 This is legitimately comedy death.

00:18:21.000 This is comedy arsenic.

00:18:23.000 We'll see how much of this I can get through before all of my brain cells are dead.

00:18:28.000 But, I mean, wow.

00:18:30.000 This was her entry into the Al Smith dinner sweepstakes here.

00:18:34.000 Woo.

00:18:35.000 Your eminence and distinguished guests, the Al Smith dinner provides a rare opportunity to set aside partisanship.

00:18:44.000 Cool.

00:18:45.000 Oh, sorry, sorry.

00:18:46.000 Hey, what's going on?

00:18:47.000 Who was that?

00:18:48.000 Oh, sorry, Mary Catherine Gallagher.

00:18:49.000 Mary Catherine Gallagher.

00:18:50.000 It's so nice to meet you.

00:18:51.000 Very nice to meet you, Mary Catherine.

00:18:53.000 Right now I'm trying to record my speech for tonight's dinner.

00:18:56.000 Oh, yeah, I know.

00:18:57.000 I just want to say that I'm a Catholic, and tonight is one of the biggest dinners next to the Last Supper.

00:19:01.000 It is a very important dinner, and it's an important tradition that I'm so proud to be a part of.

00:19:06.000 Sometimes when I get nervous, I stick my fingers under my arms and I smile like that.

00:19:12.000 That's gross.

00:19:13.000 So tell me something.

00:19:15.000 I'm giving a speech.

00:19:16.000 Do you have some thoughts about what I might say tonight?

00:19:18.000 My feelings about what you should say tonight would be best expressed in a monologue from one of my favorite made-for-TV series.

00:19:23.000 Okay.

00:19:24.000 Let's hear it.

00:19:26.000 Don't you see, man?

00:19:28.000 We need a woman to represent us. 1.00

00:19:30.000 A woman brings more heart, more compassion. 0.87

00:19:34.000 And think how smart she must be to become a top contender in a field dominated by men! 0.98

00:19:38.000 It's time for a woman, bro! 0.99

00:19:41.000 And with this woman, we can fly!

00:19:45.000 What series was that from?

00:19:47.000 Oh, that's from House of Dragons, now streaming on HBO Max.

00:19:50.000 Is there anything that you think that maybe I shouldn't bring up tonight?

00:19:53.000 Um, well, don't lie.

00:19:55.000 Thou shall not bear false witness to thy neighbor.

00:19:58.000 Indeed, especially thy neighbor's election results.

00:20:01.000 Just so you know, there will be a fact checker there tonight.

00:20:03.000 Please stop it.

00:20:04.000 Please stop it.

00:20:05.000 I can't.

00:20:05.000 I cannot.

00:20:07.000 So she outsourced her comedy to Molly Shannon, who was never very funny and certainly is not funny now. 0.64

00:20:13.000 And her campaign jokes are about why she should be president of the United States, but it's put in the mouth of Molly Shannon. 1.00

00:20:20.000 So that's what she sends to the Al Smith dinner.

00:20:22.000 It's kind of critical that Kamala Harris show up to this dinner, and she didn't. 0.92

00:20:25.000 But let's talk about something else critical, sleep.

00:20:26.000 You know, the thing you're probably not getting enough of because you're worrying about the state of the world.

00:20:30.000 Well, here is a solution.

00:21:23.000 Meanwhile, Trump is in the room.

00:21:25.000 And Trump is having himself an amazing time.

00:21:28.000 And truly an amazing time.

00:21:30.000 So, Trump starts off by joking about the fact that Kamala is not there.

00:21:37.000 And joking about her gorgeous laugh.

00:21:42.000 I must say I was shocked when I heard that Kamala was skipping the Al Smith dinner. 0.99

00:21:47.000 I really hoped that she would come because we can't get enough of hearing her beautiful laugh.

00:21:52.000 She laughs like crazy.

00:21:54.000 We would recognize it any place in this room and all polls are indicating I'm leading big with the Catholic vote, as I should be, as I should be.

00:22:06.000 But I don't think Kamala has given up yet.

00:22:09.000 She hasn't.

00:22:09.000 instead of attending tonight she's in Michigan receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer.

00:22:21.000 This is good stuff.

00:22:22.000 Meanwhile, this was my favorite moment, I think, in the evening, the Al Smith dinner.

00:22:26.000 So Chuck Schumer shows up. 0.79

00:22:27.000 And Chuck Schumer is just a snake. 0.99

00:22:28.000 I mean, Chuck Schumer is the worst. 0.96

00:22:30.000 But Chuck Schumer, who spent, like, the last 10 years talking about how Donald Trump is a deep abiding threat to democracy.

00:22:35.000 He's sitting right next to Donald Trump.

00:22:37.000 So Donald Trump's at the podium.

00:22:39.000 And just to Donald Trump's left is Chuck Schumer sitting there grimacing.

00:22:43.000 And Donald Trump starts to troll Schumer, like, in front of him.

00:22:46.000 him.

00:22:47.000 And it's pretty great.

00:22:48.000 Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum.

00:22:52.000 But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how woke your party has become.

00:23:03.000 If Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president. 0.82

00:23:08.000 I said.

00:23:12.000 By the way, Schumer reacts to him because here's the thing.

00:23:15.000 For all the stuff the Democrats say about how this guy is Hitler, do you think they would have gone to dinner with him if they thought he was Hitler?

00:23:20.000 Do you think Chuck Schumer would be sitting next to Hitler at this dinner as Hitler made jokes about him and tapped him on the shoulder and ribbed him good-naturedly?

00:23:27.000 The answer, of course, is no.

00:23:29.000 So that's why we all know it's a lie because that's not who Donald Trump is and you all know it. 0.98

00:23:33.000 And your last vestige of a defense for Kamala Harris that Donald Trump is orange Mussolini is ridiculous. 0.98

00:23:39.000 Obviously so. 0.82

00:23:41.000 I don't know who Trump's joke writers were, but they were some of the harshest people in the world.

00:23:44.000 I'm there for it.

00:23:45.000 So as you all know, I have a thing about people slamming Doug Emhoff.

00:23:48.000 I love it.

00:23:49.000 It's my favorite thing.

00:23:50.000 Doug Emhoff is the worst person in this race. 1.00

00:23:53.000 He's a two-faced, lying, awful human being who pretends that he's like this beta male Uber dad, when in reality, he's stooping the nanny and beating up his ex-girlfriend. 0.99

00:24:02.000 In any case, I didn't write this joke, but I certainly could have. 0.99

00:24:05.000 Here was Donald Trump going after Doug Emhoff.

00:24:08.000 A major issue in this race is childcare, and Kamala has put forward a concept of a plan.

00:24:15.000 A lot of people don't like it.

00:24:16.000 The only piece of advice I would have for her in the event that she wins would be not to let her husband Doug anywhere near the nannies.

00:24:25.000 Just keep them away.

00:24:27.000 That's a nasty one.

00:24:30.000 That's nasty.

00:24:32.000 I love when Trump reads the joke for the first time.

00:24:34.000 He's like, that's so nasty, but I'm so glad I said it a little.

00:24:38.000 That wasn't his most nasty joke of the evening. 0.52

00:24:40.000 His most nasty joke of the evening was about White Dudes for Harris.

00:24:43.000 So in front of all Catholics, he decides to get a little blue right here. 0.90

00:24:47.000 There's a group called White Dudes for Harris.

00:24:50.000 Have you seen this?

00:24:51.000 White Dudes for Harris.

00:24:52.000 Anybody know?

00:24:53.000 Are some of you here?

00:24:54.000 White Dudes for Harris.

00:24:55.000 Doesn't sound like it.

00:24:57.000 But I'm not worried about them at all because their wives and their wives lovers are all voting for me.

00:25:04.000 Oh, he's such a meme lord.

00:25:11.000 My goodness.

00:25:12.000 My goodness.

00:25:13.000 He completed his joke set by going after Tim Walz.

00:25:18.000 Again, in the harshest possible way.

00:25:22.000 But unfortunately, Governor Walz isn't here himself.

00:25:25.000 But don't worry, he'll say that he was.

00:25:28.000 He's going to say he was.

00:25:32.000 I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying that men have periods But then I met Tim Walz.

00:25:43.000 Just brutal stuff.

00:25:45.000 Michael Bloomberg sitting right in front of Trump.

00:25:47.000 Chuck Schumer sitting right next to Trump.

00:25:48.000 It's pretty glorious stuff.

00:25:50.000 Again, Donald Trump's having a good time.

00:25:51.000 And the Democrats are losing their mind over this sort of stuff.

00:25:53.000 They're very upset about Trump and McDonald's.

00:25:55.000 How could he? 1.00

00:25:55.000 It's because he's crazy. 1.00

00:25:56.000 So Matt Drudge, who for some reason has become sort of the avatar of left-wing angst about Donald Trump. 0.74

00:26:02.000 He has an entire headline at his website today.

00:26:05.000 Saying one fry short of Happy Meal with an AI image of Donald Trump dressed up as Ronald McDonald.

00:26:10.000 This sort of stuff is not going to play.

00:26:11.000 It just isn't.

00:26:12.000 They tried this over the weekend.

00:26:13.000 They also tried to suggest that at the Al Smith dinner, it was so...

00:26:17.000 How could he come and make jokes?

00:26:19.000 Terrible.

00:26:20.000 Maureen Dowd has an entire piece in the New York Times ripping on, wait for it, Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

00:26:26.000 Why?

00:26:27.000 Because Cardinal Timothy Dolan laughed at Donald Trump's jokes.

00:26:30.000 Yes, Maureen, that's clearly the threat to Catholicism in the United States, that Cardinal Dolan laughed at Donald Trump's jokes at a comedy dinner.

00:26:37.000 The threat to Catholicism in the United States is certainly not the party that has attempted to sue the little sisters of the poor into the ground for not providing abortion care.

00:26:46.000 It's certainly not the party that has decided that men can be women, women can be men, and Catholic charities should be shut down if they try to have children adopted by traditional married couples, male, female.

00:26:57.000 Probably the great threat is Donald Trump, Maureen Dowd acting all miffed on behalf of Catholicism. 0.97

00:27:03.000 Just ridiculous. 0.97

00:27:05.000 She writes, quote, Timothy Dolan led a white tie charity dinner in New York to showcase that most uncharitable of men. 0.98

00:27:11.000 Donald Trump, the Cardinal, should go to confession.

00:27:13.000 That's a hell of a statement.

00:27:15.000 The Cardinal should go to confession.

00:27:16.000 Why don't you talk to the Catholic hierarchy about whether Cardinal Timothy Dolan ought to go to confession.

00:27:20.000 Or maybe you ought to, considering every political position you've taken for the last 20 years on matters of interest to Catholics across the country.

00:27:29.000 At the annual Al Smith dinner, she says, Dolan suffused the impious Trump in the pious glow of Catholic charities.

00:27:34.000 Dolan looked on with a doting expression as Trump made his usual degrading, scatological comments about his foils, this time cloaked as humor. 0.94

00:27:42.000 We have someone in the White House who can barely talk, barely put together two coherent sentences, who seems to have mental faculties of a child, Trump said. 0.97

00:27:48.000 It's a person who has nothing going, no intelligence whatsoever. 0.96

00:27:51.000 But enough about Kamala Harris.

00:27:52.000 Oh no.

00:27:53.000 And then people laughed?

00:27:54.000 Catholics laughed? 0.99

00:27:56.000 You're right.

00:27:56.000 The thing Catholics must be worried about right now is Maureen Dowd's perception of Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

00:28:01.000 You wonder why Kamala Harris has a problem, folks? 1.00

00:28:03.000 This is why Kamala Harris has a problem. 1.00

00:28:04.000 They were also very upset, by the way, over Donald Trump making a joke about Arnold Palmer So, Donald Trump told a joke about Arnold Palmer while he was on the campaign trail over the weekend.

00:28:16.000 He was talking about Arnold Palmer, the famous golfer, and he suggested that Arnold Palmer, shall we say, was well-endowed.

00:28:21.000 Here is what Donald Trump said.

00:28:22.000 This became a full weekend media cycle. 1.00

00:28:25.000 This is what happens when your own candidate sucks beyond all possible recognition. 0.99

00:28:29.000 Arnold Palmer was all man. 0.98

00:28:31.000 And I say that in all due respect to women, and I love women.

00:28:35.000 But this guy, this guy...

00:28:40.000 This is a guy that was all man.

00:28:44.000 This man was strong and tough.

00:28:47.000 And I refuse to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, oh, my God.

00:28:58.000 That's unbelievable.

00:29:00.000 I had to say it.

00:29:02.000 I had to say it.

00:29:03.000 We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a bad, but he was really something special.

00:29:12.000 Okay, so this became a 48-hour media cycle where the media just kept asking every Republican about Donald Trump making a joke about Arnold Palmer.

00:29:20.000 You think anyone cares?

00:29:22.000 Like, truly?

00:29:23.000 Guys, you can't have it both ways. 0.99

00:29:25.000 Either he is, you know, so bizarre, he's so crazy, he's such a goofball, or he's a Hitlerian figure who wants to destroy his country. 0.98

00:29:34.000 I'm sorry, the dude making jokes about Arnold Palmer. 0.98

00:29:36.000 I just don't think that he is in the back room putting together his coup plan for destroying the Supreme Court or something.

00:29:44.000 Like, what the hell is wrong with him?

00:29:45.000 It...

00:29:46.000 So, if you're relegated to being angry at Donald Trump for doing the Al Smith dinner, or for working the McDonald's drive-thru, or for making a joke about Arnold Palmer, let me suggest her campaign is losing.

00:29:56.000 Also, the polls suggest her campaign is losing. 0.99

00:29:58.000 And the real reason that Kamala Harris is losing is because she is a liar. 1.00

00:30:02.000 She has always been a liar. 0.99

00:30:03.000 The entire campaign is reliant on hiding who Kamala Harris is. 0.99

00:30:08.000 Kamala Harris is an empty vessel.

00:30:10.000 She's an empty vessel that tends to be filled with the most radical left positions when she defaults. 1.00

00:30:15.000 But she is, in fact, an empty vessel.

00:30:17.000 She is a facade.

00:30:18.000 She's a Potemkin village of a candidate. 0.84

00:30:21.000 And everyone can see that.

00:30:23.000 So over the weekend, there were two separate incidents in which Kamala Harris was protested.

00:30:31.000 The way that she reacted to the two protests is extremely indicative of who Kamala Harris is.

00:30:38.000 It's pretty incredible.

00:30:39.000 Okay, so I give you these two protests back-to-back.

00:30:43.000 Protest number one, she is campaigning.

00:30:47.000 And in the middle of one of these campaign events, this one happens to be in Wisconsin, pro-life voters start chanting at her, yelling at her.

00:30:57.000 And you can hear the crowd, right?

00:30:59.000 You can hear these protesters at this rally shouting, Jesus is Lord.

00:31:04.000 Hey, now, here's the thing.

00:31:06.000 You don't have to be a believer in Jesus.

00:31:08.000 You don't have to be a Christian to recognize that in the United States, a huge percentage of the population is Christian.

00:31:13.000 Also, there are some of us who are not Christian, who believe that it's a wonderful thing for more Christians to go to church.

00:31:18.000 Certainly, it is the apex of political ineptitude to suggest that you don't need Christians as part of your campaign.

00:31:25.000 That is a nutty position.

00:31:27.000 But that's exactly what Kamala Harris does here. 1.00

00:31:29.000 So people are shouting, Jesus is Lord.

00:31:30.000 Here is her response.

00:31:33.000 Donald Trump hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v.

00:31:43.000 Wade, and they did as he intended.

00:31:50.000 Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.

00:31:53.000 Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.

00:31:57.000 Okay, so...

00:31:58.000 That's a bit telling.

00:32:00.000 You have pro-life protesters who are shouting, Jesus is the Lord.

00:32:02.000 And she's like, you're at the wrong rally.

00:32:04.000 No respect for them.

00:32:05.000 No respect for their beliefs.

00:32:06.000 No respect for Christianity. 1.00

00:32:07.000 They're none.

00:32:08.000 Okay, that is incident number one.

00:32:10.000 Then there's incident number two.

00:32:12.000 She has another rally.

00:32:13.000 This one was taking place in Milwaukee.

00:32:16.000 And protesters started asking her about the quote unquote genocide in Gaza.

00:32:21.000 Now, to be absolutely clear, there is no genocide in Gaza.

00:32:24.000 That's not how genocide works.

00:32:25.000 Typically, when a genocide takes place, that means the attempted slaughter of an entire civilian population, for example.

00:32:31.000 The population of the Gaza Strip has been reduced, presumably in terms of the number of people killed by the IDF, by perhaps 40 to 45,000, the vast majority of whom are terrorists or close terrorist affiliates.

00:32:43.000 That is not what a genocide looks like.

00:32:45.000 In fact, today, there's lots of film coming out of Jabalia where Israel is trying to clear the ground of terrorists.

00:32:49.000 And they're trying to clear the area of Israeli soldiers providing medical care on the ground, handing people water bottles as they move along.

00:32:56.000 That's not how a genocide works, typically.

00:32:57.000 So Kamala Harris is protested.

00:33:00.000 And somebody says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

00:33:02.000 And here is her response.

00:33:04.000 And it is for that reason that I say, and Mark knows, I am so invested in you all in every way.

00:33:11.000 And in genocide, right?

00:33:12.000 To make sure that you all have...

00:33:13.000 Billions of dollars in genocide?

00:33:15.000 Billions of dollars in genocide, you invested that in...

00:33:17.000 You know what, I respect your right.

00:33:20.000 To speak.

00:33:21.000 I'm speaking right now.

00:33:22.000 I know what you're speaking of.

00:33:24.000 What is it?

00:33:25.000 I want the ceasefire.

00:33:26.000 But what about the genocide?

00:33:28.000 And I respect your right to speak, but I am speaking right now.

00:33:33.000 I'm not speaking about genocide.

00:33:36.000 What about genocide?

00:33:37.000 Billions of dollars, 42,000 people dead, 19,000 children are dead.

00:33:42.000 19,000 children are dead and you won't call it a genocide.

00:33:45.000 I know what you're speaking of.

00:33:47.000 I want the ceasefire.

00:33:49.000 I want the war to end. 0.85

00:33:52.000 What about the genocide?

00:33:53.000 And I respect your right to speak, but I am speaking right now.

00:33:57.000 Yeah!

00:33:59.000 What about genocide?

00:34:01.000 Billions of dollars, 2,000 people dead.

00:34:03.000 19,000 children are dead.

00:34:06.000 19,000 children are dead and we won't call it a genocide.

00:34:12.000 So, listen, what he's talking about, it's real.

00:34:17.000 And so that's not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it's real, and I respect his voice.

00:34:24.000 I respect his voice.

00:34:25.000 It's real.

00:34:25.000 So just to get this straight, you're pro-life.

00:34:28.000 You're protesting the ability in the United States to kill babies late term because of people like Kamala Harris.

00:34:34.000 Not only does she not respect you, you're at the wrong rally.

00:34:36.000 You say Jesus is Lord, you're at the wrong rally.

00:34:38.000 You say Israel is committing a genocide.

00:34:39.000 It is factually false.

00:34:40.000 There is no genocide happening.

00:34:41.000 That is clear by every available statistic.

00:34:44.000 It also happens to be clear by the actions of the IDF, who are acting in the most targeted urban environment in the history of warfare.

00:34:50.000 And she says it's real.

00:34:52.000 She says it's real.

00:34:54.000 Okay, that's who Kamala Harris is. 0.99

00:34:56.000 You wonder why she's losing? 0.97

00:34:57.000 That's why she's losing, because she is two-faced. 1.00

00:34:59.000 And when the face slips, what you get is radical San Francisco leftist Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:35:04.000 Nothing about Kamala Harris' actual agenda works.

00:35:07.000 She keeps pushing it anyway.

00:35:08.000 but let's talk about something that does work, efficient business finance management.

00:37:15.000 So who is Kamala Harris? 0.89

00:37:16.000 Kamala Harris is a radical leftist, and that's particularly true with regard to Israel.

00:37:20.000 She's stuck between a rock and a hard place because her own priorities are with the pro-Hamas crowd, but she wants to pretend that she's a moderate because there are a lot of liberal Jewish donors who have a sort of passing interest in what happens with Israel.

00:37:33.000 So, for example, she was asked by a journalist whether she's going to lose this election over Gaza, and she just word salads this thing.

00:37:39.000 Here is a full heaping serving of some word slaw from Kamala Harris.

00:37:44.000 Do you think you could lose the election because of Gaza?

00:37:47.000 And what, you know, overnight there were more strikes, 32 more people were killed in Gaza, some in hospitals.

00:37:55.000 You know, how risky is it that you could lose the election?

00:38:00.000 Well, it is undeniable that it is something that everyone is aware of what is happening there.

00:38:06.000 I speak publicly all the time about the fact that there are so many tragic stories coming from Gaza. 0.79

00:38:15.000 And, of course, the first in this phase of everything that has happened, the first most tragic story is October 7th.

00:38:25.000 Okay, no, she just rambles and rambles and rambles. 1.00

00:38:27.000 But where does she actually stand? 0.84

00:38:28.000 Where does Kamala Harris actually stand? 1.00

00:38:30.000 Why don't we ask one of her campaign surrogates, Bernie Sanders, who literally went on CNN and just said the quiet part out loud, which is that if she were president of the United States, he would work with her to create a full arms embargo against Israel.

00:38:46.000 If we are able to elect Harris, I think we're going to have an opportunity to move her on that issue, to make it clear we cannot allow children in Gaza to starve to death.

00:38:56.000 She will be open to that.

00:38:57.000 I doubt that Trump will.

00:38:58.000 We can't even get Republican support in the Senate for humanitarian aid to feed starving children.

00:39:05.000 You really want to vote for a Trump who holds that view?

00:39:09.000 I would hope not.

00:39:11.000 That's who Kamala Harris is.

00:39:12.000 Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, same person.

00:39:14.000 It's just that she has to pretend that she's a different political priority. 1.00

00:39:18.000 By the way, speaking of the Democratic administration and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and what they've done on Israel.

00:39:23.000 So while I was on break, it was a Jewish holiday.

00:39:26.000 Unfortunately, the Jewish holidays this year happened to fall in the middle of the week, so I've missed a few days of broadcast time.

00:39:31.000 While we were off, Yechia Sinwar, the head of Hamas, was killed by an Israeli strike.

00:39:36.000 So that happened when, effectively speaking, Israeli soldiers stumbled on him.

00:39:40.000 He had been forced out of hiding because the Israeli soldiers in Rafa, you remember Rafa?

00:39:44.000 Rafa was the place that the administration had said not to go.

00:39:47.000 Rafa is a place that Joe Biden had said Israel should not enter under any circumstances.

00:39:51.000 Turns out one of the reasons Egypt and Hamas didn't want Israel to go into Rafa is because, guess who was hiding there?

00:39:56.000 It was Yahya Sinwar and all of his buddies.

00:39:58.000 Here, for example, is a flashback from March of Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor, telling Israel they certainly should not go into Rafa.

00:40:06.000 It would be a complete disaster, humanitarian catastrophe.

00:40:08.000 It wasn't.

00:40:09.000 Israel moved out all the residents with minimal loss of civilian life.

00:40:12.000 And then it turns out they found Yahya Sinwar there and killed him.

00:40:15.000 But here is back in March, Jake Sullivan, in all of his military acumen, explaining that it would be terrible if Israel went into Rafa.

00:40:22.000 The President has rejected, and did again today, the strawman that raising questions about Rafah is the same as raising questions about defeating Hamas.

00:40:32.000 That's just nonsense.

00:40:33.000 Our position is that Hamas should not be allowed a safe haven in Rafah or anywhere else. 0.82

00:40:38.000 But a major ground operation there would be a mistake.

00:40:41.000 It would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, deepen the anarchy in Gaza, and further isolate Israel internationally.

00:40:52.000 So he was wrong, as he was always wrong, because the Biden administration has been wrong about everything forever when it comes to foreign policy.

00:40:58.000 So over the course of the holiday...

00:41:01.000 I believe it was on Wednesday.

00:41:02.000 So Israel had flushed Sinwar and some terrorists out of these tunnels. 0.90

00:41:07.000 They'd been basically uncovering tunnel after tunnel in Rafa.

00:41:09.000 They were running out of places to hide.

00:41:11.000 So Yahya Sinwar was running around with a bunch of terrorists in a place where there were no civilians.

00:41:15.000 Rafa is currently occupied only by terrorists.

00:41:17.000 He was near the Egyptian border because there was always the possibility he could try to smuggle out through a tunnel at the Rafa border.

00:41:23.000 This is one of the reasons, by the way, that Bibi Netanyahu, despite all the international criticism and domestic criticism in Israel of him, Has insisted that Israel keep control of the Philadelphia corridor.

00:41:32.000 That's the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.

00:41:34.000 Because he was saying they're going to smuggle terrorists through.

00:41:36.000 People like Yahya Sinwar.

00:41:37.000 He was right.

00:41:38.000 His critics were wrong.

00:41:39.000 That is the simple fact of the matter.

00:41:41.000 So, Sinwar is running around in this area with three other terrorists.

00:41:45.000 And he's spotted by essentially just reserve trainees in the IDF. Like a 19-year-old who'd been in Gaza for three, four months.

00:41:54.000 Spots these terrorists.

00:41:55.000 They start shooting at the terrorists. 0.99

00:41:56.000 They kill three of them.

00:41:57.000 Sinwar runs back into the building.

00:41:59.000 There's a rocket launch that goes into the bottom floor, wounds him.

00:42:04.000 He then climbs up to the second floor, and then a drone, the Israelis send a drone to check out to see whether he is still alive, whether he's dead.

00:42:10.000 They didn't know this is Sinwar at this point.

00:42:11.000 They just knew that it was a terrorist.

00:42:13.000 So they fly a drone in.

00:42:14.000 And here's the footage of the drone going into this area.

00:42:16.000 So for those who can't hear, you can see the drone goes in.

00:42:24.000 It's difficult to spot Sinwar.

00:42:25.000 He's covered completely in dust.

00:42:27.000 He's sitting on a chair.

00:42:31.000 He's obviously wounded.

00:42:33.000 The drone focuses in on him because they can see that he's there.

00:42:37.000 And eventually, Sinwar tries to throw a stick at them.

00:42:40.000 This is not an act of heroism. 1.00

00:42:41.000 He's a coward. 1.00

00:42:42.000 He has subjected 2 million Palestinians to the retaliation of the IDF because he is a terrorist scumbag who hid beneath all the civilian population with billions of dollars for years on end. 1.00

00:42:56.000 His wife was spotted on October 7th, by the way, carrying around a $32,000 handbag So here he is trying to fling a stick at the drone. 0.93

00:43:05.000 It does not work out well for him because shortly thereafter, an Israeli tank fires around in there and that's the end of Yahya Sinwar, who has now met his maker and hopefully is suffering for all of the suffering that he has caused. 0.96

00:43:19.000 In any case, Israel kills Sinwar. 0.94

00:43:22.000 Bibi Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, who again was stalwart in his recognition that Israel had to go into Rafa, that defeat of Hamas was the only possible solution to this war.

00:43:31.000 He was right.

00:43:32.000 His critics were wrong.

00:43:33.000 It is that simple.

00:43:34.000 Here was Netanyahu saying they're going to win.

00:43:36.000 By the way, over the weekend, Hezbollah, backed by Iran, fired a drone at Netanyahu's house in Qasariya, in Caesarea, which is about halfway down in the country, a little bit south of Haifa.

00:43:48.000 It's a beautiful area.

00:43:49.000 I've visited there many times.

00:43:50.000 They actually apparently hit a window in one of his houses in Caesarea.

00:43:55.000 And here he was saying, listen, you can try this, but you're going to lose.

00:43:58.000 I mean, Israel has now killed the entire leadership infrastructure of Hamas.

00:44:01.000 They've killed the entire leadership infrastructure of Hezbollah.

00:44:03.000 And Iran is cruising for a bruising as well. 0.72

00:44:05.000 Here's Netanyahu over the weekend.

00:44:07.000 Prime Minister, how is it going?

00:44:09.000 Well, two days ago we took out Yurkha Sunwar, the terrorist mastermind whose goons beheaded our men, women burnt babies alive.

00:44:19.000 We took them out and we're continuing our battle with Iran's other terrorist proxies. 0.99

00:44:24.000 We're going to win this war.

00:44:25.000 So will something deter you?

00:44:27.000 No.

00:44:29.000 Okay, so meanwhile, here was Joe Biden's reaction to the death of Yachir Sinwar.

00:44:33.000 The death of the leader of Hamas represents a moment of justice. 0.99

00:44:39.000 He had the blood of Americans, Israelis, Palestinians, and Germans, and so many others on his hands.

00:44:45.000 Thank you.

00:44:46.000 I told the Prime Minister of Israel yesterday, let's also make this moment an opportunity to seek a path to peace, a better future in Gaza without Hamas.

00:44:59.000 Okay, what a joke he is.

00:45:00.000 A path to peace?

00:45:02.000 The path to peace is the surrender.

00:45:04.000 By the way, Sinmar was offered surrender.

00:45:07.000 Egypt said, we'll negotiate a deal for the hostages and you go into exile.

00:45:11.000 And he said no.

00:45:14.000 Hamas continues to be the sole party responsible for this conflict.

00:45:17.000 Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is being trotted out there to criticize Netanyahu, the war leader of an allied country.

00:45:22.000 Has she ever said anything like this about Vladimir Zelensky?

00:45:24.000 Ever?

00:45:26.000 We just, a few days ago, observed one year anniversary of a terrible assault on Israel by Hamas, a terrorist group dedicated to the destruction of Israel.

00:45:38.000 Sadly, since then, we've seen many casualties of non-combatants, children and families in Gaza, and now some elsewhere in the region.

00:45:49.000 region and it's just intolerable.

00:45:53.000 We cannot, war has to be outlawed as a resolution of any conflict or disagreement.

00:46:02.000 But right now, we have to live with the circumstances that we have.

00:46:05.000 We've all been talking about a two-state solution for a long time.

00:46:10.000 For Israel and for the Palestinians. 0.99

00:46:14.000 The current leader in Israel does not agree to that.

00:46:18.000 I don't know if Netanyahu wants peace.

00:46:21.000 I don't know if he's capable of peace.

00:46:23.000 I don't know if he's afraid of peace.

00:46:25.000 This is the Democratic Party.

00:46:25.000 But he has gone off the course.

00:46:27.000 Afraid of peace. 0.73

00:46:28.000 What a terrible person Nancy Pelosi is. 0.99

00:46:31.000 Truly. 0.99

00:46:31.000 And so the Democratic Party overall, terrible. 0.99

00:46:34.000 Terrible.

00:46:35.000 The greatest underreported story of the last couple of weeks, actually.

00:46:40.000 Is that a pro-Iranian account leaked alleged U.S. intel on Israel's attack plans, according to Axios.

00:46:46.000 Hey, Barak Ravid, who's a stenographer for the White House, quote, U.S. officials are extremely concerned about a potentially major security breach after two alleged U.S. intelligence documents about Israel's preparations for an attack on Iran were published by a Telegram account affiliated with Iran.

00:47:00.000 The alleged leak comes as Israel completes weeks of preparations for retaliation against Iran, which attacked Israel with a barrage of ballistic missiles on October 1st.

00:47:08.000 A telegram channel by the name Middle East Spectator claimed on Friday it had received documents from a source in the U.S. intel community about Israel's preparations for an attack on Iran.

00:47:17.000 The documents are, in fact, authentic.

00:47:20.000 How did this happen?

00:47:21.000 The answer is the entire Biden administration, the executive branch, the intel community, honeycombed with pro-Iran forces who hate Israel.

00:47:28.000 The Biden administration knows full well about this.

00:47:31.000 This is not a shock.

00:47:32.000 They had Robert Malley, who was a cutout for the Iranians, working as their negotiator with Iran. 0.81

00:47:37.000 There are people who are currently in staffing positions.

00:47:40.000 Like, for example, Arian Tabatabai, the Chief of Staff of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations.

00:47:47.000 She's an officer in U.S. Naval Intelligence.

00:47:49.000 And when invited to Saudi Arabia, she emailed and asked the Revolutionary Guard officer, Mustafa Zahrani, I would like to know your opinion.

00:47:57.000 Would you be interested in this?

00:47:58.000 There's a full investigation into her.

00:48:00.000 And then they left her in place.

00:48:03.000 So you have an administration that is honeycombed with people who are fully willing to publicly leak Israeli intel in order to stop Israel. 0.87

00:48:11.000 That's who Kamala Harris is inheriting, and that's who she is. 0.95

00:48:15.000 Folks, meanwhile, when things begin to fall apart for a campaign, they really begin to fall apart for a campaign.

00:48:19.000 So the campaign surrogates for Kamala Harris, let's just say they are not doing an amazing job.

00:48:24.000 So over the past few days, there was an event that Joe Biden attended with Barack Obama.

00:48:28.000 It was the funeral for Ethel Kennedy.

00:48:31.000 And it didn't go amazing.

00:48:32.000 The New York Post had somebody do a lip reading of the conversation between Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

00:48:38.000 Joe is still really pissed off that he's not the nominee, considering he won all the votes.

00:48:42.000 And then they literally took it away from him and just handed it to Kamala Harris. 0.96

00:48:44.000 And so here he was lamenting Kamala's weak candidacy.

00:48:48.000 And Obama's nodding along because they both know you're not supposed to say it publicly, but she is a bad candidate.

00:48:56.000 Obama says, no, no, no, that's not on.

00:49:00.000 I'm talking about the microphones.

00:49:01.000 Obama says, I think it's important that we have some time together.

00:49:06.000 We'll take it at value.

00:49:07.000 She says, yes, that's right.

00:49:08.000 Maybe we can.

00:49:09.000 She's not as strong as me.

00:49:12.000 That's right.

00:49:13.000 And Obama says, I know that's true.

00:49:15.000 And then Obama says, we have time.

00:49:22.000 Thank you.

00:49:23.000 And Biden says, yeah, we'll get it in time.

00:49:26.000 Will you, though?

00:49:27.000 Will you, though?

00:49:28.000 That's the big question, because even her campaign surrogates having a very tough time explaining why she should be president of the United States or how she's different from Joe Biden. 0.81

00:49:35.000 So Josh Shapiro, who's the person who's not chosen for Kamala Harris's vice presidential campaign, because, of course, he's Jew, and that's not allowed in a party where Jews are a little bit uncomfortable. 0.53

00:49:45.000 So Josh Shapiro was asked on Meet the Press about the differences between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, and he could name precisely zero.

00:49:53.000 I understand what you're saying, Governor, but polls do show that more Americans feel as though President Biden's policies have hurt them rather than help them.

00:50:03.000 So can you name one key policy difference between Vice President Harris and President Biden?

00:50:09.000 How would her administration look different?

00:50:11.000 You know, I've been really encouraged by the amount of energy that Kamala Harris, Vice President Harris, has put into focusing on how she will cut taxes for small businesses.

00:50:21.000 The focus on childcare, tax credit expansion, that's something I've done here in Pennsylvania.

00:50:26.000 We've seen that work to ease the burden on families.

00:50:30.000 I think a focus on those kinds of things is particularly important, and those are the kinds of things I think Kamala Harris has brought specifically to this race.

00:50:39.000 Those aren't necessarily differences, though.

00:50:41.000 They're an expansion or a tweak to some extent to what's been done.

00:50:45.000 Can you name one policy difference?

00:50:49.000 Listen, again, the contrast I am focused on, Kristen, is between her and Donald Trump.

00:50:57.000 Amazing.

00:50:58.000 So, literally no differences between her and Joe Biden.

00:51:00.000 We all know this, but they just, they keep saying it out loud.

00:51:02.000 Meanwhile, Lizzo is out on the campaign trail.

00:51:04.000 Nothing says person of the people like Lizzo, who did an entire TikTok video about getting on her private jet to go campaign with Kamala Harris.

00:51:12.000 Again, remember, this is the party that's mocking Donald Trump for working at the drive-thru window in solidarity with kind of everyday Americans.

00:51:18.000 And meanwhile, they are trotting out Lizzo to explain that if Kamala Harris becomes president, the entire country will be Detroit.

00:51:24.000 She meant that as a positive.

00:51:26.000 She was trying to respond to the fact that Trump said that as a negative.

00:51:28.000 Now, most Americans, if they think of Detroit, they don't think of a wonderful place to live because it turns out Detroit is a pretty terrible place to live.

00:51:34.000 It used to be a wonderful place to live.

00:51:36.000 And then the Democratic Party thoroughly destroyed the city and has not yet recovered.

00:51:40.000 Lizzo is out there saying, "Don't worry.

00:51:42.000 "If Kamala Harris becomes president, "then all of you can live like people live in Detroit." Which sounds pretty nightmarish, actually. - I'm so proud to be from this city.

00:51:53.000 You know, they say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit.

00:51:59.000 Okay?

00:52:01.000 Proud like Detroit.

00:52:03.000 Resilient like Detroit.

00:52:07.000 That's not what Donald Trump means, and that's not what anybody thinks of Lizzo.

00:52:12.000 How about DNC chair Jamie Harrison?

00:52:14.000 Well, he is so Baghdad bobbing, this thing, that we are now at the point where he says that Kamala Harris is like Michael Jordan in the NBA Finals.

00:52:22.000 That would be if Michael Jordan never played in the playoffs, was immediately just shoveled into the NBA Finals where he proceeded to go 0 for 12.

00:52:29.000 Here we go.

00:52:32.000 Watching the VP right now is like watching Michael Jordan in the NBA Finals.

00:52:37.000 She's hitting every shot. 1.00

00:52:39.000 I mean, we saw her this week in the interview she did this week.

00:52:43.000 We saw her handle hecklers at her recent event.

00:52:47.000 I mean, she is in a zone right now that none like I've ever seen in the politicians in a very, very long time.

00:52:55.000 And so what it is, is that we got to do our part as the role players on this championship team.

00:53:00.000 You got to pull down the extra rebounds, get the assist, make sure she has a ball in her hand because she's going to shoot it and it's going to go in.

00:53:12.000 Oh my goodness.

00:53:13.000 Just keep talking yourself into this one.

00:53:13.000 Wow.

00:53:15.000 Meanwhile, speaking of making those tough shots, it's like that time that Jordan hung in the air and then made a jumper over Craig Elo in the playoffs.

00:53:22.000 Just like that. 0.91

00:53:23.000 Here's a Kamala ad directed at black men. 0.95

00:53:26.000 Apparently she believes that the way you win black men over is by lecturing them about how they will never get laid if they don't vote for Kamala Harris. 0.92

00:53:34.000 Hello ladies, I'm Trey.

00:53:35.000 It's good to be here.

00:53:36.000 What do you do and how much do you earn?

00:53:42.000 Do you have any plans to vote in November?

00:53:44.000 Nah, not my thing.

00:53:49.000 And then it's a bunch of these women all popping balloons because they're showing they would never date him unless he's going to vote for Kamala Harris.

00:53:55.000 Just a note for all dudes.

00:53:57.000 If a woman says she will not date you because you're not voting for Kamala Harris, you don't want to date her.

00:55:43.000 20 million crimes a year.

00:55:45.000 6,000, 7,000 hate crimes.

00:55:47.000 No, there's no epidemic.

00:55:48.000 Why are we talking about statistics?

00:55:49.000 This is not a matter of statistics.
