The Biden administration has a new rule that requires all companies with over 100 employees to force their employees to either get vaccinated, or be fired. This is an emergency temporary standard that could be extended to every company with 100 or more employees, and could force millions of people out of work if they don t get vaccinated. We need your help to fight this rule, and we are working with the Alliance Defending Freedom and the Dillon Law Group to do just that.

00:00:00.000Alrighty, folks, this is the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:01.000You may have noticed that we are not opening as we normally do, and that's because today is a crucial day for our company, and I think, frankly, a crucial day for the country.
00:00:10.000We, as a company, are doing the most important thing that we have ever done.
00:00:14.000Today, the Biden administration finally put out their long-awaited OSHA rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
00:00:23.000They are promulgating a rule via an administrative agency that forces every company with over 100 employees to force their employees to either vaccinate or test or be fired.
00:02:15.000We'll fight this all the way to the Supreme Court, if need be.
00:02:18.000Obviously, lawsuits cost a lot of money, and you have to have great legal partnership in order to win, and that's why we are working with the folks over at Alliance Defending Freedom and over at the Dillon Law Group.
00:02:28.000We need your help to make that happen, obviously, because lawsuits cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, and this one will probably end up at the Supreme Court.
00:02:36.000We're going to fight it tooth and nail on behalf of our employees.
00:03:33.000Apparently, OSHA is going to send out agents, I kid you not, to workplaces to check in on you and For willful violations, standard violations are like you make a mistake because you, oh, you just, oops, you didn't do the OSHA rule.
00:03:56.000They're seeking to bankrupt anyone who is in favor of liberty here.
00:04:01.000This is authoritarian, not just because of the content of it, but because of the form of it.
00:04:06.000They're using an administrative agency that is acting outside the scope of its authority to force every major employer and midsize employer in the United States to force vaccines on their employees.
00:04:17.000And their permanent standard is much more onerous than that, and it will extend to everybody.
00:04:38.000It's insane to think that OSHA, which was not designed to do this, is going to be issuing vast regulations across the entire scope of American life, without regard for state and local rights, without regard to the rights of private property owners and private business owners or employees, who are the real targets of this, right?
00:04:57.000It's not the employers who are the targets, it's the employees who are the targets.
00:05:00.000This is the federal government trying to make employers, their policemen, In their vaccination efforts.
00:06:22.000Okay, so what exactly is in this new OSHA regulation which will affect you?
00:06:28.000In all likelihood, because the vast majority of employees in the United States work for businesses that have over 100 employees.
00:06:35.000So, according to the OSHA Vaccination and Testing ETS Fact Sheet, the ETS is necessary to protect unvaccinated workers from the risk of contracting COVID-19 at work.
00:06:46.000Okay, here is the problem with this, right off the bat.
00:06:49.000You know what is supposed to protect unvaccinated workers from the risk of contracting COVID-19 at work?
00:07:34.000Covered employers must develop, implement, and enforce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy, with an exception for employers that instead adopt a policy requiring employees to either elect to get vaccinated or to undergo regular COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at work.
00:07:49.000This fact sheet highlights some of the additional requirements of the ETS.
00:07:52.000Employers should consult the standard for full details.
00:08:04.000Maybe it has to do with public unions.
00:08:05.000employers with 100 or more employees will be covered by state occupational safety and health requirements. Interesting. Interesting. The distinction between private and public right there. Weird. Maybe it has to do with public unions. Which workplaces are not covered?
00:08:20.000Workplaces covered under the safer federal workforce taskforce COVID-19 workplace safety.
00:08:26.000Settings where any employee provides health care services or health care support services, because they're already covered by the health care ETS.
00:08:32.000Workplaces of employers who have fewer than 100 employees in total, which of course makes no sense.
00:08:43.000If you have a small mom-and-pop shop with four employees and a small hole in the wall, just as good a chance you're gonna get COVID there as if you're working at a big open-air office like we have in Nashville with a couple hundred employees.
00:08:55.000Also, public employers in states without state plans are not covered by the ETS.
00:09:08.000The requirements of the ETS do not apply to employees who do not report to a workplace where other individuals are present, employees while working from home, or employees who work exclusively outdoors.
00:09:16.000So basically, if you work in an office, you're screwed.
00:09:19.000Or your employer has to make you work from home.
00:09:23.000Or you gotta work in a park somewhere.
00:09:25.000What does the ETS require employers to do?
00:09:28.000Develop, implement, and enforce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy, with an exception for employers that instead establish, implement, and enforce a policy allowing employees to elect either to get vaccinated or to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at the workplace.
00:10:03.000Determine the vaccination status is what employers must do.
00:10:06.000Determine the vaccination status of each employee.
00:10:08.000Okay, so forget about Any sort of HIPAA rules.
00:10:12.000It is now my job as an employer to determine whether you are vaxxed or not, obtain acceptable proof of vaccination from vaccinated employees, maintain records of each employee's vaccination status, and maintain a roster of each employee's vaccination status.
00:10:25.000So we need all your information and we need it now.
00:10:27.000And by the way, if OSHA decides a month from now that everybody needs a booster, I'll just push that too.
00:10:34.000Support vaccination by providing employees reasonable time, including up to four hours of paid time to receive each primary vaccination dose, and reasonable time in paid sick leave to recover from any side effects experienced following each primary vaccination dose.
00:10:46.000So I noticed that they don't do this with the flu vaccine.
00:10:50.000Ensure that each employee who is not fully vaccinated is tested for COVID-19 at least weekly or within seven days before returning to work.
00:10:57.000Require employees to promptly provide notice when they receive a positive COVID-19 test.
00:11:01.000Immediately remove from the workplace any employee, regardless of vaccination status, who receives a positive COVID-19 test.
00:11:08.000Ensure that every employee who is not fully vaccinated wears a face covering when indoors or occupying a vehicle with another person for work purposes.
00:11:15.000So if you are unvaccinated, we are now going and you're testing, we're going to and we know you're testing.
00:11:42.000Employers must comply with most provisions by 30 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register.
00:11:47.000Employers must comply with the testing requirement by 60 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register.
00:11:52.000So within a month, we have to be testing everybody once a week, and we have to gather your vaccination status.
00:11:56.000And by 60 days, we have to force you to vaccinate, basically, or fire you.
00:12:01.000And again, they are looking at getting rid of the alternative of testing, period.
00:12:04.000Again, every single person who wants a vax can get a vax.
00:12:08.000Freedom dictates that once you have gotten the vax, you leave everybody else alone, and that if you're un-vaxed, you take responsibility for that.
00:12:15.000But the notion that the federal government can activate every employer in America as the health police against you, forcing you to get vaccinated, forcing you to mask up, shaming you if you don't do these things, or firing you if you refuse to do them, is insane.
00:12:30.000To do this on the basis of a law from 1970, under an emergency temporary standard, is completely anti the Constitution of the United States.
00:12:38.000For those who suggest, by the way, that the Supreme Court will approve this, this is because they are ignorant of law.
00:12:44.000Okay, states are allowed to do things like bax mandates.
00:12:51.000The federal government was never given this sort of authority.
00:12:54.000There is no case that gives the federal government this sort of authority, and particularly does not give the federal government this sort of authority under OSHA, for God's sake.
00:13:02.000This isn't even a law passed by the Congress of the United States and the Senate and then signed into law by the President.
00:13:07.000It is a broad regulation being interpreted by a workplace enforcement administrative agency in order to cram down these rules on, right now, 100 million Americans, but get ready, it will be everyone.
00:13:34.000This has nothing to do with whether the vaccines are good or not.
00:13:37.000It has to do with whether freedom is good or not in a time when every single human has the capacity in the United States, if you are above the age of five, to get vaccinated.
00:13:47.000And thus protect yourself, and then leave everyone the hell alone.
00:13:52.000And it's not going to stop even there.
00:13:53.000Because I promise you, now that the FDA and the CDC have cleared the vaccines for 5 to 11 year olds, you think this administration isn't going to push for mandatory vaccination of 5 year olds in public schools?
00:14:04.000You think they're not going to push for that?
00:15:01.000Isn't that a liberty decision for them?
00:15:04.000They're saying an ETS is necessary because workers are becoming seriously ill and dying as a result of occupational exposures to COVID-19 when a simple measure of vaccination can largely prevent those deaths and illnesses.
00:15:37.000The goal is not curbing COVID at this point.
00:15:39.000COVID has been curbed in terms of its reproductive number.
00:15:44.000This is not about preserving the health of workers, all of whom have the choice as to whether they want to go get vaccinated or not.
00:15:50.000This is simply about control and maintaining the illusion that if Joe Biden, a senile old bag of stupid, hits a button, he will magically fix all of your problems by forcing you to do what he wants.
00:16:01.000Stand up right now, or you will not be able to stand up later.
00:16:14.000Alrighty, now on to the regularly scheduled show.
00:16:17.000After taking a shellacking across the country, Joe Biden and the Democrats call for more spending and say they haven't done anything wrong at all.
00:16:54.000Go to PeerTalk USA and do what the rest of my listeners are already doing.
00:16:57.000PeerTalk gives you killer 5G coverage on one of the largest 5G networks in the country and still saves the average family over $800 a year.
00:18:23.000Should have passed infrastructure a month ago.
00:18:25.000As we'll see, this is going to become a recurring Democratic theme.
00:18:28.000If only we had done more of that thing that we promised to do and that people hated us for, then things would have gone just swimmingly.
00:18:34.000According to the Washington Post, the Democrats are reeling and they see a threat to the House and Senate control as Republicans crack their 2020 coalition.
00:18:44.000Democrats reeling from the party showing on Tuesday night were sharply critical of its direction and agenda, already the subject of months of infighting on Capitol Hill, concluding it threatens to devastate their efforts to hold on to the House and Senate next year, much as it dragged down this year's candidates.
00:18:59.000There were districts that shifted 10, 15 points.
00:19:01.000In New Jersey, there were districts that shifted 16 points.
00:19:04.000New Jersey basically went dead even after Joe Biden won the state by 16 points last time around.
00:19:09.000Well, if you look at all the congressional districts that are within like 10 or 15 points for Democrats, you're talking upwards of 70 congressional districts for Democrats that theoretically could be in competition.
00:19:19.000Even if you go conservative on that and you say everything that's within six or seven points, you're still talking about 40 to 50 seats for Democrats that are in serious trouble in the House.
00:19:27.000It would get a swing that looks a lot like the 2010 swing for the Republicans.
00:19:30.000In that particular election year, the Democrats lost upward of 60 seats in the House.
00:19:35.000If that were to happen, Republicans would emerge with a vast majority, considering the House is pretty evenly split right now.
00:19:40.000And when you look at the Senate map, Democrats actually had a pretty good year on their hands in the Senate, at least in an off-year election, right?
00:19:46.000They had a Senate map that was very much tilted in their favor.
00:19:50.000Not a lot of lean Democrat seats that were up, a lot of lean Republican seats that were up.
00:19:56.000And that was a problem for the Republicans.
00:19:58.000Well, now with the ground shifting under their feet, they have to be looking at the map and they have to be quite fearful.
00:20:04.000According to the Washington Post, in Virginia, a state that has become reliably blue in recent years, Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe.
00:20:10.000According to an AP projection, in New Jersey, Democratic Governor Phil Murphy was struggling for his second term.
00:20:15.000The circumstances in the two governors' races all but confirmed the collapse of the coalition that propelled Democrats to power during the Donald Trump administration and Joe Biden to the presidency in 2020.
00:20:24.000In the election's wake, there are fresh doubts in the party about Biden's ability to push his domestic agenda across the finish line.
00:20:29.000And to repel the new attacks Republicans have opened on culture fronts, especially over schools.
00:20:33.000Again, remember the way that this works?
00:20:35.000Is if Democrats do incredibly radical stuff.
00:20:36.000That's not an attack on the status quo.
00:20:38.000If Republicans notice, then it's Republicans who have started a culture war.
00:20:41.000That's the way the media portray all of this.
00:20:43.000A new round of upheaval, according to the Washington Post, over the party's priorities and strategies appeared imminent.
00:20:49.000An estimated 3.3 million people turned out to vote in Virginia, easily outpacing the last two gubernatorial elections.
00:20:55.000So again, the lie that Republicans need people to stay home in order to win?
00:20:59.000In the eyes of Democrats, that reflected alarmingly high enthusiasm in conservative strongholds and a disturbing shift in the kinds of suburban areas that powered their gains in 2018 and 2020.
00:21:10.000What's actually happening here is that the United States is a 50-50 country.
00:21:24.000What's actually happening here is that the United States is a 50-50 country.
00:21:27.000The United States has been a 50-50 country for a very long time. It is not a 60-40 country as Democrats would have it, nor is it a country where a durable Democratic majority is emerging demographically.
00:21:37.000So this was the argument that Democrats continued to make basically every single day after 2012.
00:21:43.000In 2012, Barack Obama broke all of the election models.
00:21:46.000He broke the election models because he was supposed to lose.
00:21:55.000He lost about 3 million votes between 2008 and 2012, and he still won re-election.
00:22:01.000And political scientists like Roy Tishera over at The Atlantic were arguing that this is because Barack Obama had created a new, durable democratic coalition.
00:22:13.000The pitch was that Barack Obama's new democratic coalition was going to fundamentally shift how politics was done in the United States.
00:22:20.000Writing for the Center for American Progress, Tishera and a guy named John Halpin, they wrote, quote, Obama's strong progressive majority built on a multiracial, multiethnic, cross-class coalition in support of an activist is real and growing.
00:22:32.000And it reflects the face and beliefs of the United States in the early part of the 21st century.
00:22:35.000The Center for American Progress called the strategy, quote, the culmination of a decades-long project to build an electorally viable and ideologically coherent progressive coalition in national politics.
00:22:45.000In other words, identity politics cobbled together enough minorities and college-educated white liberals to win election after election.
00:22:51.000You don't have to pay attention to the suburbs.
00:22:54.000If the suburbs come along with you, great.
00:23:40.000Okay, so it was not really about Biden recreating the coalition, but Democrats have decided that that that utopian vision of the undefeatable coalition is real.
00:23:52.000And so they keep doubling down on this stuff over and over and over and reality just keeps proving them wrong.
00:23:56.000It turns out that Barack Obama was an electoral outlier.
00:23:59.000He hadn't created a new, durable coalition.
00:24:02.000He was an electoral outlier because he's a very talented politician and because he, in his own identity, was very attractive to the American people who wanted to move beyond race.
00:24:10.000Obama then blew that opportunity for the United States, broadly speaking.
00:24:31.000We have some right-leaning views, particularly culturally speaking.
00:24:33.000On economics, we tend to be somewhere in the middle.
00:24:36.000This is not a hard-right country, nor is it a hard-left country.
00:24:39.000And the left keeps misreading the tea leaves.
00:24:40.000Now, the right would be mistaken to think that this means everlasting victory for the right, but so long as the left keeps cruising toward the left, they're opening up the middle for people like Glenn Youngkin.
00:24:50.000They're opening up the middle for Republicans.
00:24:51.000And all Republicans have to do is run down the middle and not be crazy.
00:24:55.000Again, this is how low the bar is in American politics right now.
00:25:45.000Like a nice dinner for you and your wife.
00:25:47.000$150 he spent on his entire campaign, and he defeated the sitting president of the state Senate in New Jersey by a couple thousand votes.
00:25:55.000Was that because he was such an unbelievably attractive candidate?
00:25:58.000No, all he had to do was just stand there and not be dead, but also not be super alive, right?
00:26:04.000We are now in a political moment Where both parties seem to be increasingly kind of crazy, but the Democratic Party is going way more crazy right now than the Republican Party is and everyone can tell.
00:26:14.000And so the entire map is now tilting to the right.
00:26:17.000We'll get to more on this in just one second.
00:26:19.000First, there are certain medical problems that people tend to ignore because it's uncomfortable to talk about them or you just hope they're going to go away.
00:26:26.000Erectile dysfunction is one of those medical problems.
00:26:28.000If you're suffering with that, just go get it solved.
00:27:30.000Alrighty, so what does this mean practically in terms of the map?
00:27:33.000Well, Larry Sabato, who is, again, a left-leaning guy who runs the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
00:27:43.000He has something called the crystal ball.
00:27:44.000The crystal ball is ratings for particular Senate races.
00:27:48.000And right now, he has just moved a bunch of races away from the Democrats.
00:27:53.000So Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada were lean D. I always thought, by the way, that that was a bit of an overstatement.
00:27:59.000They're now considered toss-ups by Larry Sabato.
00:28:02.000Colorado, which was a safe Democratic seat, is now being shifted to a likely Democratic seat.
00:28:07.000Okay, so, if you look at the map right now, that means that lean Republican seats include Wisconsin, which remains a lean Republican seat, and Ohio, which remains a likely Republican seat.
00:28:17.000Unclear who's going to emerge from that Ohio primary, whether it's J.D.
00:28:21.000It'll be interesting to see, because both of them are very Trumpy.
00:28:24.000In the toss-ups, according to Larry Sabato and the Center for Politics over at the University of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada.
00:28:32.000Republicans only need to pick up two of those in order for them to win control of the Senate.
00:28:46.000I think it was a fluke that they lost the last time.
00:28:48.000I think it was largely driven by the fact that Donald Trump decided in the final days of the campaign that he was going to tell Republicans not to vote because of charges of voter fraud or some such other silliness.
00:28:58.000The reason I call that silliness is because whatever you think of voter fraud, not voting is a really, really dumb and stupid solution to that, considering you handed two seats to the Democrats in Georgia, which is, in fact, a red state.
00:29:08.000Hey, Arizona, it is not Kristen Sinema who's up in Arizona.
00:29:13.000But that state seems to be trending red again because of the nature of the political moment.
00:29:19.000Pennsylvania is a harder state for Republicans, but a bunch of Pennsylvania appellate court judges were just elected as Republicans.
00:29:26.000So if there is low turnout in some of the big cities and Democrats do not duplicate What they did in 2020 in Pennsylvania, that could go Republican, too.
00:29:34.000So if all shifted to the Republicans, you'd be looking at 53 seats for the Republicans in the Senate.
00:29:39.000Remember, all they need to do is pick up two.
00:29:41.000They just need to hold in Wisconsin, and they need to pick up two more seats.
00:30:57.000He started working with the Republicans on the other side of the aisle to come up with some sort of moderate policy.
00:31:02.000Do you think the Democrats are really going to do that?
00:31:04.000Or are the Democrats going to keep doubling down on stupid?
00:31:08.000It's fascinating to see how this breaks out down media and across the Democratic side of the aisle, because this is a real open argument in the media and on the Democratic side of the aisle.
00:31:17.000I think it's kind of hilarious that every time Democrats lose an election, they have this brief moment, this just brief moment, particularly the media.
00:31:23.000They have a brief moment where they're like, What if we talked to people?
00:31:27.000What if we got out of this little bubble that we live in here on Twitter and we actually went and talked to people who don't think like us and we tried to comprehend what they were saying.
00:31:34.000Jim Acosta had this brief moment of clarity yesterday on CNN.
00:31:40.000If you look at what happened in those red counties, those bright red counties from the Shenandoah Valley all the way down to southwestern Virginia, that is Trump country.
00:31:49.000And Democrats have not been able to make inroads in that part of Virginia and those kinds of rural areas around the United States for a very long time now.
00:31:56.000And I suspect that Democrats may need to do a little less lecturing and more listening when it comes to those rural voters to help them get back into the good graces of those kinds of Americans.
00:32:08.000Now I always laugh when I hear this sort of stuff from the media because they spent four years doing precisely the opposite, right?
00:32:14.000There was this brief moment in time where Democrats were like, maybe we should read Hillbilly Elegy.
00:32:18.000Maybe we should actually send Selena Zito out to talk to these Trump voters as though she was like Jeff Corwin going into the wild or something.
00:32:25.000And they'd wear like Australian hats and they'd be, who are these Trump voters?
00:33:08.000Once you have kids, your interests change.
00:33:10.000There's a reason that married women with kids vote very differently than single women.
00:33:13.000Here's Stephanie Cutter recognizing that reality.
00:33:16.000The one thing that we need to make sure that Republicans in 2022 don't become is the party of parents because we need to be the party of parents.
00:33:27.000We're the ones that care about school funding.
00:35:21.000So, Stephanie Cutter is right, and Republicans are realizing that if they go after the parental vote, they're going to do much better, which prompts this hysterically funny headline from the New York Times.
00:35:33.000Quote, Republicans pounce on schools as a wedge issue to unite the party.
00:35:50.000According to the New York Times, after an unexpectedly strong showing on Tuesday night, Republicans are heading into the 2022 midterms with what they believe will be a highly effective political strategy capitalizing on the frustrations of suburban parents still reeling from the devastating fallout of pandemic-era schooling.
00:36:04.000Seizing on education as a newly potent wedge issue, Republicans have moved to galvanize crucial groups of voters around what the party calls parental rights issues in public schools, a hodgepodge of conservative causes ranging from eradicating mask mandates to demanding changes to the way children are taught about racism.
00:36:18.000Yet it is the free-floating sense of rage from parents, many of whom felt abandoned by the government during the worst months of the pandemic, that arose from the off-year elections as one of the most powerful drivers for Republican candidates.
00:36:29.000Across the country, Democrats lost significant ground in crucial suburban and exurban areas, the kinds of communities that are sought out for their well-funded public schools that helped give the party control of Congress and the White House.
00:36:39.000In Virginia, where Republicans made schools their central pitch, education rocketed to the top of voter concerns in the final weeks of the race, narrowly edging out the economy.

00:36:58.000According to the New York Times, the message worked on two frequencies.
00:37:01.000Pushing a mantra of greater parental control, Glenn Youngkin, the Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, stoked the resentment and fear of some white voters who are alarmed by efforts to teach a more critical history of racism in America.
00:37:11.000Gotta love how the New York Times is like, these stupid parents, duped by Glenn Youngkin into being white supremacists, attack critical race theory, a graduate school framework that has become a loose shorthand for contentious debate on how to address race.
00:37:34.000Keep saying that parents who are concerned about their kids being taught racial essentialism in public schools, being taught that if you are white, you are inherently privileged, and if you are black, you are inherently victimized.
00:37:43.000Keep telling parents that their kids being taught that stuff is good.
00:37:47.000And they need to sit down and shut up.
00:37:48.000And the Republicans who know this are pouncing.
00:37:50.000Please, Democrats in the media, keep saying that public schools should be cramming down masks on children who are generally safe from COVID.
00:37:58.000Again, the total number of kids who have died from COVID who are healthy prior to COVID is 10 to 20 across the entire United States, across the entire pandemic, according to Marty McCary of Johns Hopkins University.
00:38:08.000Please keep telling parents they can't send their kids to school until they vaccinate their kids.
00:38:12.000Let's see how well this works out for you.
00:38:15.000Again, that is Democrats going crazy and Republicans noting it.
00:38:18.000That's all that Republicans are doing.
00:38:21.000If you want to see some pretty devastating results for Democrats, forget about the gubernatorial race in Virginia.
00:38:25.000Take a look at how the school board elections went the other night across the country.
00:38:28.000They went very poorly for the Democrats.
00:38:32.000As the New York Times notes, however, Youngkin and other Republicans tapped into broader dissatisfaction among moderate voters about teachers' unions, unresponsive school boards, quarantine policies, and the instruction parents saw firsthand during months of remote learning.
00:38:44.000In his some speeches, Youngkin promised to never again close Virginia schools.
00:38:48.000Terry McAuliffe and his party eagerly condemn the ugliest attacks, but they seem unprepared to counter the wider outpouring of anger over schools.
00:38:57.000This is... Again, of course they can't counter it because they're in favor of the indoctrination.
00:39:46.000I'm not exercising a lot, and then I'm not exercising as much because I'm traveling a little bit more or because there's too much going on in life.
00:40:00.000When you're trying to reach your fitness goals, it can really help to have a world-class instructor choreographing classes, music from your favorite artists, a community of hundreds of thousands of people who can give you that extra push.
00:40:09.000One of the things I like about Echelon, I have a little bit of a competitive streak when it comes to exercise.
00:40:13.000And so while you are biking, you can see where you're ranking versus everyone else.
00:40:18.000Echelon is the affordable way to get the workout equipment, the workout community, and an instructor's motivation right in the comfort of your own home.
00:40:25.000Echelon's fitness app provides you thousands of live and on-demand classes with excellent music, and with Echelon you can work out anytime, day or night, crush your fitness goals.
00:40:32.000Just pick your class, climb the leaderboard, cheer each other on, give it your all.
00:40:35.000Echelon's certified fitness instructors are supportive, engaging, and fun, and they know how to get you moving.
00:41:43.000When there's a massive blowout in Virginia, where a former DNC head and former Virginia governor gets his ass kicked, that is not worth, it's not worthy of discussion.
00:41:52.000Here was Joe Biden yesterday saying, well, you know, this sort of thing happens pretty much every, pretty much every election Virginia switches to the, the party of the, of the opposition.
00:42:04.000I was talking to Terry to congratulate him today.
00:42:07.000He got 600,000 more votes than any Democrat ever has gotten.
00:42:11.000We brought out every Democrat about there was, more votes that ever has been cast for a Democratic incumbent.
00:42:18.000I'm not incumbent, a Democrat running for governor.
00:42:21.000And no governor in Virginia has ever won when he's of the same or he or she's the same party as the sitting president.
00:42:29.000OK, well, I mean, that's that's sort of saying a lot, considering the fact that it's been a long time since Republicans have won statewide in Virginia.
00:42:39.000Like Bob McDonnell was the last Republican governor of Virginia before this.
00:42:42.000So I have a feeling that it actually does matter a little bit.
00:42:45.000But this is going to be the Democratic talking point is that we're not doing anything wrong.
00:42:50.000So you have this opinion piece from Perry Bacon in The Washington Post today titled An Abnormal Republican Party Was Treated Normally by Voters in New Jersey and Virginia.
00:42:59.000He says that really, this is not a big deal.
00:43:01.000It's just that the president's party generally struggles in off-year elections because there's a turnout gap that favors the party that's not in control.
00:43:07.000And also, some voters swing away from the president's party because they don't like performance and because they want to balance the power in government.
00:43:13.000And really, the big issue here is that voters are stupid.
00:43:15.000So they don't realize that the Republican Party is so evil that they shouldn't have reacted as they normally do.
00:43:19.000So this is just the normal course of affairs.
00:43:22.000Now, listen, it is true that in off-year elections, the out-of-power party does better.
00:43:26.000It is not true that you expect to see swings like you saw in Virginia.
00:43:30.000You do not expect to see the House of Delegates completely reverse itself.
00:43:33.000You don't expect eight-point races in New Jersey to almost turn into dead heat or the Republican winning.
00:43:40.000You do not expect the Virginia governor's race to turn into a fairly large blowout in favor of the Republican in a state that the Democrats just won by 10.
00:43:49.000There are certain things that are outside the margin of error.
00:43:51.000You might expect that in a state where Joe Biden won by four, that suddenly the governor goes red.
00:44:02.000So the first strategy by Democrats here to deal with the fact that the American public have turned largely against their agenda is to pretend that that's not a big deal and play it down.
00:44:11.000The second thing that they are doing is they're saying, well, the real thing that's happened here is that they just don't understand us.
00:44:52.000Trump was never above 50% in the approval ratings.
00:44:55.000The day he was elected, his approval rating was like 47%.
00:44:58.000That's about as high as it ever went for Trump.
00:45:01.000He never got above 50 in any serious way.
00:45:03.000Joe Biden was up in the mid-50s, and now Joe Biden's in the low 40s.
00:45:07.000And by some polls, he's down in the 30s.
00:45:09.000He is a very bad, ineffective, and terrible president.
00:45:12.000He is bad in that he has pursued bad policies.
00:45:14.000He's ineffective in that he has not been able to pursue even anything remotely like a good policy.
00:45:20.000And he's unpopular because he is verging on senility.
00:45:23.000So there are a lot of bad things about the Biden administration.
00:45:27.000So Biden was asked, OK, why exactly did you lose?
00:45:31.000And Joe Biden says, because Americans are confused about what we do here.
00:45:35.000The idea here from Democrats is going to be, as we will see, that the reason Democrats lost in Virginia is because they weren't radical enough.
00:46:35.000Do you take some responsibility, and do you think that Terry McAuliffe would have won if your agenda had passed before Election Day?
00:46:44.000I think we should have, it should have passed before election day, but I'm not sure that I would be able to have changed the number of very conservative folks who turned out in the red districts who were Trump voters, but maybe, maybe.
00:47:03.000I know we did, but I, we'd also, I was running against Donald Trump.
00:47:08.000Boom, dirty little secret that he just let out of the bag right there.
00:47:20.000But he can't, it's gonna go down, really, it'll go down in history, Joe Biden will, as one of the worst political decisions of all time to take the tack he has taken.
00:47:47.000Like, on a political level, it's bewildering.
00:47:49.000Now, on an ego level, you understand why he's doing it because, again, this is a doddering old man who wants to go down in history alongside LBJ and FDR, and he's likely a one-term president, and he knows it.
00:47:57.000But on a pure political level, he took whatever popularity he had based on the entire image that he was running as a moderate, and he flushed it down the toilet.
00:48:06.000He basically ran as Joe Manchin and then he governed as like the Senate as like Ed Markey, right?
00:49:43.000And that's why I'm continuing to push very hard for the Democratic Party to move along and pass my infrastructure bill and my Build Back Better bill.
00:50:45.000Okay, and here's Tim Kaine yesterday saying, oh, the big problem here is that the congressional Democrats didn't pass the infrastructure bill.
00:51:01.000It's humbling to say it, but if we had been able to deliver infrastructure and reconciliation in mid-October, he could have sold universal pre-K, affordable child care, infrastructure, creating jobs.
00:51:16.000Democrats control both houses and they have to act like it, have to be disciplined, have to get results.
00:51:21.000And our inability to come together and get a result hurt him.
00:51:30.000Okay, Mark Warner saying the same thing again.
00:51:32.000Senator from Virginia saying, no, no, this is what we need.
00:51:53.000I mean, only in Washington could people think that it is a smart strategy To take a once-in-a-generation investment infrastructure and prevent your president from signing that bill into law.
00:52:12.000Okay, so that's Warner actually ripping the congressional progressives.
00:52:16.000Now what's hilarious about this is that you got Warner and Kaine saying, if the congressional progressives had gone along with infrastructure, we would have won in Virginia.
00:53:08.000There is no way that you can blame a 12-point swing on one bill.
00:53:14.000The reality is that voters do want us to deliver.
00:53:17.000I think Youngkin appealed to parents and education.
00:53:21.000I think we have the formula to appeal to parents even more by passing a bill that provides childcare, that provides pre-K, that provides jobs.
00:54:47.000We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:54:49.000First, Americans are the targets of the corporate propaganda machine known as the mainstream media.
00:54:53.000It's time to start waking up to the constant deception and start exposing the skeletons they keep locked firmly in their closet.

00:55:15.000We watched as his excellent work, along with the work of journalists like Chris Ruffo, affected real change in the Virginia election, which essentially turned into a bloodbath for the Democrats.
00:55:23.000But investigative journalism, as we've mentioned many times, is very expensive.
00:55:26.000That is why there are not a lot of right-wing investigative journalists.

00:55:45.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:55:54.000So Democrats in the aftermath of what's happened are ramping up the spending, ramping it up.
00:55:58.000According to the Wall Street Journal, House Democrats are adding back in provisions to the Build Back Better plan that are big spending provisions.
00:56:07.000Nancy Pelosi wants to vote on it like today or tomorrow.
00:56:10.000Now, the Senate is not going to vote on it.
00:56:12.000Manchin and Sinema don't support this bill.
00:56:14.000She wants to add in a bunch of stuff and then ram it through so that she won't be blamed for what happened in Virginia the other day.
00:56:23.000According to the Wall Street Journal, House Democrats released an updated version of the party's social spending and climate package, adding back in a paid leave program that had previously fallen out of the bill, including a measure sharply raising the $10,000 cap on the state and local tax deduction.
00:56:36.000The House bill, which top Democrats want to bring up for a vote in the chamber, is the latest proposal in the months-long negotiation among Democrats over Biden's agenda.
00:56:44.000It's set to face changes in the Senate, where Joe Manchin has objected to the inclusion of a paid leave benefit.
00:56:48.000The bill includes a variety of measures proposing a universal pre-K program for three and four-year-olds, subsidies for child care and health care costs, tax credits for reducing carbon emissions, among other measures.
00:56:57.000The White House, the House text leaves many of those items largely unchanged from the White House $1.85 trillion framework released last week.
00:57:20.000What if all the moderates in the house are like, no.
00:57:22.000What if Abigail Spanberger in Virginia says, nah, not into it.
00:57:28.000They are having a serious issue right here.
00:57:31.000Again, there are enough of the mansion cinema-style moderates in the House and in the Senate to say, maybe we should hold up on the big spending bill.
00:57:38.000And now Nancy Pelosi has reversed the order.
00:57:40.000Before it was, we'll pass bipartisan infrastructure because there's more support for that, and then we'll pass Build Back Better.
00:57:46.000Now Nancy Pelosi wants to pass Build Back Better before bipartisan infrastructure.
00:57:53.000But the idea is you just throw more crap at the wall and hope that something sticks because this is desperation point for the Democrats and they cannot pull out of the tailspin.
00:58:09.000It's that moment in the cartoon where he realizes and he looks down and gravity has not yet applied and you see his eyes get real wide and then it's That is what this is Democrats just haven't hit the ground yet.
00:58:25.000According to the Washington Post, a new sense of political urgency swept over restive Democrats from the White House to Capitol Hill on Wednesday as they raced to resolve the final issues stalling President Biden's roughly $3 trillion economic agenda in the aftermath of a stinging election defeat in Virginia.
00:58:40.000With a loss in that state's gubernatorial race, along with a slim win in New Jersey, party lawmakers found themselves anxious, exasperated, newly ready to try to advance two spending initiatives that have been bogged down in Congress for months.
00:59:17.000Sometimes the and it's not intentionally the games being played.
00:59:20.000It's where the system is very convoluted.
00:59:22.000People need to know that what we're getting for it, what you're going to expect, how much you're going to pay for it and go on and on and on.
00:59:28.000But, you know, we're talking about revamping the whole entire tax code.
00:59:48.000They're dialing back their bond purchases.
00:59:50.000They're starting to taper now because they're afraid of inflation.
00:59:52.000In fact, the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, he said yesterday that temporary inflation had become not so temporary.
00:59:58.000It's not permanent, which is always very reassuring.
01:00:02.000Transitory is is a word that people have had different understandings of.
01:00:09.000For some, it carries a sense of short-lived.
01:00:14.000And that's, you know, there's a real time component measured in months, let's say.
01:00:18.000Really, for us, what transitory has meant is that if something is transitory, you will not leave behind it permanently or very persistently higher inflation.
01:00:30.000Okay, so yes, it turns out that the vast majority of people think of transitory as it's going to end.
01:00:57.000She says, Mr. Biden must not forget that for many voters, his mandate was quite limited to remove former President Donald Trump from their television screens and to make American life ordinary again.
01:01:20.000Nancy Pelosi wants to hold the vote according to Punchbowl News.
01:01:23.000They do a good job summarizing everything going on in DC.
01:01:26.000They want to hold a vote on both Build Back Better and the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill today or tomorrow in the House.
01:01:34.000You read that correctly, they say, a vote sometime in the next few days on legislation calling for nearly $3 trillion in federal spending that's been delayed for weeks.
01:01:42.000They said when you look at the dynamics, it doesn't make any sense.
01:01:45.000When looking at House Democratic strategy, you begin and end with Pelosi.
01:01:48.000She wants to vote on Build Back Better first, and then infrastructure.
01:01:52.000Pelosi's had an interesting journey during this Build Back Better process.
01:01:55.000First, she said the House would only vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill after the Senate passed the reconciliation package.
01:02:32.000Here's the top eight to a moderate Democrat.
01:02:34.000At this point, so many members are bewildered by leadership's latest strategy.
01:02:37.000It appears we've given up on pre-conferencing and there's no way to know the full cost and repercussions of all the newest additions and changes.
01:02:43.000I think frustration is growing by the lack of a strategy to get this into law.
01:02:46.000And that it appears we are doubling down on the wrong lessons from Tuesday.
01:04:21.000The establishment GOP learns nothing from Glenn Youngkin's victory, Democrats turn on white women, and left-wing commentator Van Jones admits that his fellow liberals are super-duper annoying.
