00:01:35.000Every single day on The View is a contest in stupidity.
00:01:40.000Truly, it's an amazingly competitive match between some of the dumbest people on Earth.
00:01:47.000No one really notices on a given day that Whoopi Goldberg is a very dumb person who says very dumb things, because everybody else is so dumb on The View that she's constantly outshone.
00:01:56.000She seems like the most sane person on The View, which is kind of an amazing statement.
00:02:00.000Trying to suss out which person on The View is least intelligent is an exercise in quantum mechanics.
00:02:07.000But I will say that on Monday, Whoopi Goldberg really did stand out.
00:02:13.000It wasn't just that what she said was stupid.
00:02:14.000It's that what she says is anti-Semitic and vicious.
00:02:16.000It's anti-semitic and vicious in a way that the left doesn't even believe is anti-semitic and vicious, and that's what makes it so terrible.
00:02:21.000So, the topic of the Holocaust came up.
00:02:24.000It came up in the context of this Tennessee school board, very, very small county, small town, McMinn County School Board, which decided that they were going to remove the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel, Maus, from their Holocaust curriculum for 8th graders.
00:02:36.000Okay, they weren't getting rid of it at the library.
00:02:38.000They weren't saying that no one can read it.
00:02:39.000They were saying that we don't want this to be part of the direct curriculum for 8th graders because there's a little bit of nudity and there's some cursing.
00:02:46.000Now, I may disagree with that, but this is what school boards do all over the country.
00:02:50.000In Seattle, they just get rid of things like to kill a mockingbird, but in McMinn County, they say, we don't want mouse here, we'll have something else here for the Holocaust unit.
00:02:56.000Now we're never gonna teach the kids about the Holocaust again.
00:03:00.000And so, again, something I might disagree with, but certainly not an exercise in brutal, vicious antisemitism.
00:03:06.000Okay, but this turned into a global phenomenon, a massive scandal, because whenever there is a right-wing area, That seems to suppress a book.
00:03:18.000When left-wing areas do it on a regular basis, that's not a national story.
00:03:20.000That's just them being good stewards of children.
00:03:23.000In any case, this was a controversial thing, became a controversial thing, by the way, months after the fact, or at least weeks after the fact.
00:03:29.000This happened at the beginning of the year.
00:03:31.000It didn't break until the very end of January.
00:03:32.000In any case, Whoopi Goldberg and the Ladies of the View, the combined IQ of a kumquat, they decide that they are going to start talking about the Holocaust from their perches as great scholars of the Holocaust.
00:03:47.000And Whoopi Goldberg, Maybe because her last name is Goldberg, decides that she is going to inject herself into this conversation.
00:03:54.000And she has a take on the Holocaust that is, I will say, unique, but not that unique.
00:04:52.000So you actually have to start this conversation a little earlier because Whoopi Goldberg actually said right before this that That this is white people.
00:05:08.000White people doing it to white people.
00:05:09.000Y'all go fight about this amongst yourselves.
00:05:11.000Now, naturally, everybody came down on Whoopi Goldberg because this is one of the dumbest things ever.
00:05:14.000I mean, the simple fact of the matter is that Hitler obviously treated the Jews as a race.
00:05:18.000He explicitly said they're not a religion, they're a race.
00:05:21.000The Nuremberg Laws were directed against Jews as an ethnicity.
00:05:24.000And it really is only in the very, very modern era that people have started to lump in Jews with white people.
00:05:31.000For the vast majority of history, Jews were considered their own ethnic group.
00:05:35.000Not only were they considered their own ethnic group, they were barred from places like country clubs in many parts of the United States.
00:05:40.000It's really only in the last 30, 40 years that white people and Jews have been considered concomitant.
00:05:47.000In the same way, by the way, that Italians started being considered white, Irish people started being considered white, Germans started being considered white.
00:05:52.000White as a group has been expanding for quite a while in terms of popular rubric.
00:05:56.000But there's no question that the Germans saw the Jews as a separate race.
00:06:59.000Because the pearl source cuts out the middleman by eliminating those crazy jewelry store markups and selling directly to you, the consumer.
00:07:05.000At the Pearl Source, you'll find the largest selection of pearls available anywhere.
00:07:08.000Each jewelry piece is custom-made specifically for you.
00:07:11.000You need it quickly for Valentine's Day?
00:08:01.000Okay, so, Whoopi Goldberg gets hit with a wave of you're an idiot tweets, and then she quasi backs down.
00:08:08.000So, what she does is she cites Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League.
00:08:12.000Okay, she puts out a statement and says, quote, on today's show, I said the Holocaust is not about race, but about man's inhumanity to man.
00:08:19.000As Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League shared, the Holocaust was about the Nazis' systematic annihilation of the Jewish people, who they deemed to be an inferior race.
00:08:37.000And the reason I don't believe you is because she then went on Stephen Colbert last night and Colbert basically tried to massage her into something more acceptable.
00:08:44.000And both he and Whoopi Goldberg screwed it up.
00:08:46.000But Whoopi just kept doubling down on the idea that this is white people who are trying to murder other white people, which means that it's between two of y'all, right?
00:08:53.000Between y'all, as she suggested on The View.
00:08:56.000Here is Whoopi Goldberg again, trying to suggest that discrimination As a black person, I think of race as being something that I can see.
00:09:02.000between people, and not when you make up physical, by the way, the Nazis tried to come up with physical differences between Jews and Aryans, right?
00:09:09.000They tried to suggest that Jews had longer noses, and certain types of physiognomy, and all of this.
00:09:14.000Anyway, here is Whoopi Goldberg screwing it up again.
00:09:16.000As a black person, I think of race as being something that I can see.
00:09:21.000So I see you, and I know what race you are.
00:09:24.000And the discussion was about how I felt about that.
00:09:29.000I felt that it was really more about man's inhumanity to man and how horrible people can be to people and we're seeing it manifest itself these days.
00:09:41.000Okay, so then Colbert tried to massage her into, he said, what I've read about how the Nazis operated when they found out that you were of the Jewish race.
00:09:47.000That's why they'd make you wear a star so they could see.
00:09:49.000And then Goldberg started doubling down.
00:10:10.000Actually, Whoopi Goldberg, it's kind of astonishing.
00:10:11.000By the way, if you said Whoopi Goldberg on a logical level, she is suggesting that race and racism only apply when you can actually identify at a moment's notice what the person's race is.
00:10:23.000There have been many cases in American history, particularly during the segregation era, when black people who were very light-skinned would attempt to pass as white, and when they were found out to be black, using the quote-unquote one-drop rule, which is the most racist thing ever, when they were found out to be black, they were then discriminated against.
00:10:38.000So according to Whoopi Goldberg, that wouldn't be about race.
00:10:40.000That would be a white person discriminating against a white person, presumably, because they're not overtly identifiable.
00:10:46.000Hey, here's the reason why Whoopi Goldberg is doing this.
00:10:49.000It's not because Whoopi Goldberg is trying to get beyond race.
00:10:51.000There are two ways of reading Whoopi Goldberg.
00:10:53.000The kind reading is that she's trying to get beyond race, but we know that's not the case because Whoopi Goldberg has never, ever gotten beyond race in any controversy ever.
00:11:01.000Everyone, apparently everywhere is racist except for Hitler, except for the Holocaust, which wasn't racist because it was about white people attacking white people.
00:11:11.000To understand what Whoopi Goldberg is saying and why this matters, you have to understand intersectional theory.
00:11:15.000So intersectional theory basically suggests that structures of power are set up whereby victimizing groups victimize people in victimized groups.
00:11:22.000And the way you can tell who is a victimizing group is by success level.
00:11:26.000When you look at America, for example, you can see that black Americans are victimized, not by looking at their actual treatments in American society, but because they are less wealthy than, for example, white groups.
00:11:37.000And this is why you will see intersectional hierarchy advocates suggesting that black people today are meeting with the same sorts of discrimination in simpler ways than they were 70 years ago, which, of course, is absurd on its face.
00:11:47.000In fact, the only legal discrimination allowed in the United States right now is discrimination in favor of black candidates, as Joe Biden is proving with his Supreme Court pick.
00:11:55.000In any case, the basic notion that systems of power undergird all of success and failure, and therefore that the white success in America right now is due to white supremacy, and black lack of success on a group level is due to white supremacy, right?
00:12:22.000It suggests that the systems of power that have been set up by white people in the United States are systems that value things like promptness, timeliness, personal responsibility.
00:12:32.000These are societal constructs made up by white people to benefit white people.
00:12:36.000Is the underlying theory of critical race theory, which again was, I mean, there's a, if you think that I'm, I'm exaggerating this, this was an actual display at the National Museum of African-American History at the Smithsonian.
00:12:48.000There was a whole display about white ideas, and those white ideas included things like personal responsibility and timeliness.
00:12:59.000But this is the intersectional theory.
00:13:01.000And according to the intersectional theorists, Jews are white because Jews are successful.
00:13:04.000This is why Asians are now becoming white-adjacent.
00:13:07.000This is how intersectional theorists term Asians today.
00:13:10.000Asian-American groups that are disproportionately successful Would blow up the entire intersectional matrix.
00:13:16.000Because again, the intersectional matrix is based on the idea that white people constructed systems to benefit white people.
00:13:22.000That they are that they are subtly and innately racist because the systems benefit the whites.
00:13:26.000The problem is the highest earning income groups in the United States are groups like Indian Americans and Asian Americans, Korean Americans, Nigerian Americans.
00:13:34.000And so it's very difficult to make the case that America is a white supremacist society when the highest earning groups in America are not white.
00:13:41.000And so what the intersectional theorists do instead is they say that these groups are now white adjacent.
00:13:45.000This first started being applied with regard to Jews.
00:13:47.000So the idea was that when Jews became financially successful, they were now white.
00:13:51.000And if you are on that intersectional hierarchy, if you rank near the top in terms of your victimizing status, this means you can no longer be victimized.
00:14:13.000However, if Ilhan Omar, who is of Arab extraction?
00:14:19.000If Ilhan Omar from Somalia or Rashida Tlaib, who is Palestinian, if either of them spout open antisemitism, that's not antisemitism because both of them are lower on the intersectional hierarchy in terms of power dynamics.
00:14:33.000And this has been fomented by full organizations on the left, including now the Anti-Defamation League, which has been completely hijacked by the left.
00:14:40.000The Anti-Defamation League used to be about fighting anti-Semitism.
00:15:05.000Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another that a person's social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.
00:15:15.000Racial separatism is the belief most of the time based on racism that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.
00:15:21.000And then after the Black Lives Matter movement they literally went in and redefined the term racism.
00:15:27.000Here's what racism now means, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
00:15:30.000This, by the way, is why Whoopi Goldberg is quoting the Anti-Defamation League, because they mirror her general viewpoint on the world.
00:15:36.000Here is how the ADL now defines racism.
00:15:38.000Quote, the marginalization and or oppression of people of color based on a societally constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.
00:16:11.000This is why the left will constantly justify anti-Semitic acts or ignore them.
00:16:16.000As long as they are coming from, say, black Hebrew Israelites in New Jersey attempting to murder Jews, or black people on the streets of Williamsburg beating the hell out of Jews on the street, right?
00:16:24.000All of those crimes get completely ignored because they don't fall within the purview of the left's definition of intersectional racism.
00:16:31.000This is why it was a national news story when there was a white supremacist who shot up a Chabad in Poway, but it was not really a national news story for more than about 30 seconds when a Muslim radical tried to murder a bunch of people at a synagogue in Texas.
00:16:44.000Because remember, Muslims are brown, generally speaking.
00:16:47.000Even though that's not true, there are a lot of white Muslims.
00:16:49.000Muslims are brown, generally speaking, and therefore, they are a member of a victimized minority group, whereas Jews, who constitute some, what, 0.2% of the global population, something like that?
00:16:59.000Jews are a majority evil power group, while Muslims, who constitute about, what, a billion and a half, two billion people on planet Earth?
00:17:20.000This is the entire theory, and this is why it's important what Whoopi Goldberg was saying.
00:17:25.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:17:27.000First, we here at The Daily Wire, we love to support excellent American companies, which is why we at The Daily Wire are exclusive now with Good Ranchers, the 100% American meat company.
00:17:36.000Now here's the thing, they're not just Good Ranchers, they're the best ranchers.
00:17:39.000Once we laid eyes on the steaks from Good Ranchers, It was hunger at first sight.
00:17:42.000They sell beef that is 100% born, raised, harvested right here in the United States.
00:17:47.000That's a big deal, considering 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in stores and online is imported from overseas.
00:17:53.000With Good Ranchers, you help support local American farms and ranches while getting steakhouse quality cuts delivered straight to your door.
00:17:59.000They win on quality, price, and mission, which is why we are very excited to partner with them.
00:18:47.000You see this play out in the Middle East all the time.
00:18:49.000And whenever there is a war between Israel and Hamas, Hamas is an overt terrorist group that wishes to murder children and push Jews into the sea.
00:18:55.000You will see the intersectional left in the United States hop on out and say that the Jews are the problem because the Jews are white.
00:19:01.000Representative Jamal Bowman from New York actually said this last time around.
00:19:04.000He condemned Israel for defending itself against rocket attacks by Hamas.
00:19:07.000He said that they were, quote, black and they were creating black and brown bodies being brutalized and murdered.
00:19:22.000There's a whole sect of Ethiopian Jews.
00:19:24.000There are tons of Jews from all over the world, many different ethnicities, but they are not white and they are also not just You know, a consolidated group of anti-brown people.
00:19:38.000But this has to be part of the generalized power dynamic theory of the left.
00:19:41.000And the intersectional theory about life and the anti-Semitic theory about life are almost indistinguishable.
00:19:47.000Intersectionality claims that white people control societal institutions for the empowerment of white people.
00:19:53.000Anti-Semitism claims that Jews control global institutions on behalf of Jewish people.
00:19:57.000Intersectionality then claims that Jews are white people.
00:20:01.000Well, by the transit of power and property, if Jews are white people and if white people control all the institutions of society, then Jews control all the institutions of society.
00:20:15.000And it allows for anti-Semitism not just to prosper and flourish.
00:20:19.000But to be ignored by wide swaths of the left on behalf of anti-racism.
00:20:24.000In order to fight racism, you have to be anti-semitic.
00:20:26.000In order to fight racism, you have to pretend that Jews are white people and that attacks on Jews are innately attacks that are not race-centered and have nothing to do with race.
00:20:38.000So the only type of anti-Semitism that the left ever pays attention to, for example, are neo-Nazi rallies in Flores.
00:20:43.000So this got all sorts of attention in Orlando.
00:20:45.000All my friends started sending me, obviously, clips of this.
00:20:48.000In Orlando, there was a group of anti-Semites who got together, neo-Nazis, and it was like 15 to 20 of them, and they were just shouting anti-Semitic slogans and carrying Nazi flags and doing what horrible white supremacist anti-Semites do.
00:21:03.000And then, Ron DeSantis was asked about this, and Ron DeSantis called them jackasses, which they are, and the left said, well, why isn't Ron DeSantis stopping all of this?
00:21:11.000Why isn't Ron, well, I mean, number one, These people are garbage.
00:21:15.000Also, the First Amendment does exist in the United States, and Ron DeSantis is the governor of one of these states in the United States.
00:21:20.000So he doesn't actually have the legal power, nor should he, to stop the Nazis from being in the park over here.
00:21:26.000That used to be, by the way, the position of the left, right?
00:21:28.000That was the ACLU that was suing to allow Nazis to march through Skokie, for example.
00:21:34.000Okay, but the left decided that Ron DeSantis was an anti-Semite because he wasn't doing enough about this.
00:21:38.000Meanwhile, they've got Ilhan Omar over here and Rashida Tlaib over here, and they're hanging out with Linda Sarsour, and they got Bernie Sanders hanging out with Jeremy Corbyn.
00:21:48.000Meanwhile, they're just ignoring, for a fact, other overt acts of anti-Semitism that don't meet with the intersectional hierarchy's approval.
00:21:56.000So, for example, the Associated Press reported over the weekend, this did not make national news, really, a synagogue and an affiliated Jewish school in Chicago were vandalized over the weekend with swastika images and anti-Semitic graffiti.
00:22:07.000The incidents occurred Sunday at the Free Synagogue in Hannesach's Bais Yaakov High School.
00:22:12.000Vandalism also occurred at a synagogue in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnwood.
00:22:16.000A Jewish group, the Concerned Citizens League, said windows were broken Saturday at a Chicago bakery and a kosher food store.
00:22:22.000Mayor Lori Lightfoot said at least one person was arrested.
00:22:25.000Okay, now, we don't know who that one person is who was arrested.
00:22:28.000I can fairly guarantee that person was not a white supremacist, because if that person had been a white supremacist, Lori Lightfoot would have announced it.
00:22:34.000That is the way anti-Semitic attacks work.
00:22:35.000Just like, by the way, anti-Asian attacks.
00:22:38.000When an Asian lady gets pushed in front of a subway in New York City, we wait a couple of days before we announce who did that.
00:22:49.000Whoopi Goldberg is just repeating the nostrums that she has heard here.
00:22:53.000That de-center Jews from the quote-unquote narrative of the Holocaust in order to promote the idea, once again, that any suffering that is not undergone by a lower-level intersectional group at the behest of a higher-level intersectional group is not true suffering at all and is really not about their group identity.

00:25:26.000So long as you are of the left, you have a get out of jail free card.
00:25:29.000Meanwhile, if you're Ilya Shapiro, a constitutional law professor who is about to be a lecturer at Georgetown Law, if you note That Joe Biden is saying a racist thing by saying that he only wants to select a black woman for the Supreme Court.
00:25:44.000If you say that, they will launch, they will suspend you and launch a full investigation at Georgetown Law.
00:25:49.000Everybody knows this isn't about Ilya Shapiro's credentials or him saying anything racist.
00:25:54.000The only reason they're going after Ilya Shapiro is, of course, because Ilya Shapiro happens to be conservative.
00:26:00.000And this means that anything he says, even if it's not racist, actually is racist.
00:26:05.000By the way, this is the same kind of nonsense that Nikole Hannah-Jones is constantly pushing.
00:26:11.000She did this, by the way, with Joe Rogan.
00:26:13.000Nikole Hannah-Jones says that Joe Rogan is an overt racist, despite the fact that she has no evidence that Joe Rogan is a racist because he's not a racist.
00:26:20.000She calls him a racist because he deems it worthy of conversation to talk with people like me and Jordan Peterson.
00:26:28.000For the left, if you are on the left, you always, you can say whatever you want, the rules don't apply to the left.
00:26:32.000This is why it is now a fool's errand to try and seek consistency in rules from the left.
00:26:42.000When they talk about intersectional theories of power, And how there's a hierarchy of power constructed by certain people for their own benefit.
00:26:49.000That's because that's what they want to do.
00:26:50.000They wish to construct hierarchies of power based on racial characteristics and then use those hierarchies of power to benefit particular people.
00:27:02.000They suggest that you are a racist if you have conversations with a wide variety of people and they are not censors, even though they are attempting to censor you.
00:27:49.000They would suggest that maybe he's just misinformed.
00:27:51.000They certainly would not call for his deplatforming.
00:27:54.000But now they're saying that Joe Rogan is dangerous.
00:27:56.000The real reason they think Joe Rogan is dangerous, of course, is because he's saying things on a bunch of other topics that they don't like.
00:28:01.000So here was CBS the other day demanding that Rogan be censored by Spotify.
00:28:07.000You have a First Amendment right to say what you want.
00:28:08.000You don't have a First Amendment right to appear on a platform as large as Spotify.
00:28:13.000Joe Rogan is correct that the medical world gets stuff wrong, but there's a process by which the medical world corrects itself, and that process is not interviewing guys on the fringe of the medical world on your massive platform.
00:28:51.000Also, you'll notice that the left is very fond of now using the quasi-libertarian argument in which they suggest there's no First Amendment right to have your material put on a platform as big as Spotify.
00:29:05.000Also, I've noticed that you guys in general are very much in favor of using the government in order to pressure places like Spotify to remove material you don't like.
00:29:16.000I don't trust you about what private corporations should do because you would have no problem with the government today coming in and cracking down on free speech just plain.
00:29:24.000You would have no problem with the government passing a law today banning COVID-19 misinformation as you define it.
00:29:29.000And by the way, when he says, you know, the scientific community, we have a way of weeding out bad information and misinformation.
00:29:36.000Or did you spend the last two years knocking people off social media for saying things that were overtly true based on information, based on data?
00:29:44.000People would cite data and you would still knock them down.
00:29:47.000For the left, it's not about open discourse and a scientific process.
00:29:50.000It's about we get what we want or we knock you down.
00:30:05.000You know, and we've been having on every nut we can find to suggest that children must mask until the end of time and that millions of children are dying all the time.
00:30:12.000They need to trust us because we're really good at this, says Brian Stelter.
00:30:16.000You think about major newsrooms like CNN that have health departments and desks and operations that work hard on verifying information on COVID-19.
00:30:23.000And then you have talk show stars like Joe Rogan who just wing it, who make it up as they go along.
00:30:28.000And because figures like Rogan are trusted by people that don't trust real newsrooms, we have a tension, a problem that's much bigger than Spotify, much bigger than any single platform, Kate.
00:30:37.000But that's what is at the heart of this right now.
00:30:39.000Okay, by the way, I guarantee you that if Joe Rogan sat down with Brian Stelter, he knows much more about vaccines and about COVID than Brian Stelter knows.
00:30:48.000Brian Stelter knows a bunch of slogans he's been hearing from Leanna Wen.
00:30:52.000That's pretty much all that Brian Stelter knows at all.
00:30:55.000Rogan, for his part, made the proper and correct move when asked about this.
00:31:02.000I mean, Joe basically said, if you're offended, sorry.
00:31:05.000And I'll try to have on more guests of diverse viewpoints, I guess.
00:31:07.000But the real point that he made was at the beginning of his quasi-apology, in which he pointed out, you guys keep saying misinformation, but three quarters of what you said was misinformation now turns out to be true.
00:31:18.000The problem I have with the term misinformation, especially today, is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact.
00:31:28.000Like, for instance, eight months ago, if you said, if you get vaccinated, you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID.
00:31:36.000You would be removed from social media.
00:31:38.000They would ban you from certain platforms.
00:32:03.000Okay, meanwhile, by the way, Reuters put out a report, you know, ivermectin, people medicine, as Joe Rogan once suggested.
00:32:12.000There's a report today from Reuters suggesting that there has been a Japanese company that says that ivermectin shows an antiviral effect against COVID.
00:32:26.000The whole point is that if you follow the priors of the left, and if you do what they say on any given day, they will allow you to get away with murder.
00:32:32.000They will allow you to get away with pretty much anything.
00:32:35.000Which is why you should not trust them when they suggest that they want to crack down on big tech because they don't like big tech's predations over data.
00:32:42.000No, what they really want is just to control what big tech allows you to see.
00:32:46.000Half of the problems that we've had with YouTube and Facebook and all the rest of the social media companies are the government trying to cudgel all of these social media companies into line to do the sort of censorship that the government could not do itself.
00:32:58.000It basically militarized all of these companies to do all of the things that they weren't able to do in the first place.
00:33:04.000Again, these folks have no principles on the left.
00:33:05.000There's no principle to which they will not, there's no principle they won't discard in pursuit of power.
00:33:10.000I'll get to that in just a second because The way that New York is now redistricting is a full-scale violation of all of their precepts with regard to supposed voter equality.
00:33:21.000I'm sure we all know about the Ring Video Doorbell by now, because I've been talking about it for quite a while, but something you may not know is that Ring also makes an alarm.
00:34:29.000Central, Candace Owens sits down with one of the doctors that the media love to hate, Dr. Robert Malone, in an exclusive two-part interview airing tonight and tomorrow.
00:34:36.000After Dr. Malone's recent interview with Joe Rogan sparked backlash from both Rogan and Spotify, Candace is digging in to make sure voices on all sides of the vaccine issue are heard.
00:35:48.000Seriously, you're not going to want to miss this.
00:35:50.000Also, If you have not yet heard, Matt Walsh is now maybe America's most prominent voice in the transgender conversation, mostly because he's the author of the best-selling children's LGBTQ plus book, Johnny the Walrus.
00:36:01.000That's why he was invited to Dr. Phil, to discuss these most important issues with experts who could not tell him what a woman was.
00:36:07.000If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you check it out.
00:36:09.000Even more importantly, if you haven't yet picked up a copy of his best-selling children's book, you should do so immediately.
00:36:13.000It sold out in 48 hours when it was released.
00:36:15.000Don't worry, more copies are now on the way.
00:36:16.000Reserve, Johnny the Walrus, now on Amazon.
00:36:19.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:36:24.000When I talk about the fact that Democrats don't have any principles, I mean it.
00:36:32.000So Democrats have been complaining here for, what, years now about evil Republican redistricting.
00:36:36.000The Republicans were going to redistrict their way into a majority in the House.
00:36:40.000Well, here's what they're doing in New York.
00:36:43.000They've just created an entirely new map in which New York Democrats could gain three House seats and lose a Republican seat.
00:36:50.000Remember that New York is set to lose a seat.
00:36:53.000Because of all the population movement away from New York because of leftist governance.
00:36:56.000And so they're going to eliminate a seat.
00:36:58.000The seat that's going to be eliminated is likely a Republican seat, which means the Republicans lose four seats and Democrats pick up three of those seats just by redrawing the lines.
00:37:06.000And they're doing so in the most obvious and insane fashion.
00:37:09.000I mean, the lines that they are drawing, they're absurd.
00:37:23.000According to the New York Times, New York Democrats on Sunday proposed a starkly partisan redesign of the state's congressional map that would be one of the most consequential in the nation, offering the party's candidates an advantage in 22 of the state's 26 House districts in the fall's midterm election.
00:37:36.000Party leaders in Albany insisted the redrawn districts were not politically motivated, but the map immediately exposed Democrats to charges they were engaging in the same kind of gerrymandering many in the party have denounced as anti-democratic and accused Republicans of carrying out elsewhere.
00:37:49.000The proposed lines promised to be a major boon for the party for a decade to come, beginning with the hard-fought national battle with Republicans this year for control of the House of Representatives.
00:37:57.000With President Biden's agenda hanging in the balance, Democratic gains in New York could help offset those Republicans expect to rack up in states like Texas, Florida, and Georgia.
00:38:07.000Dave Wasserman, national elections analyst with Cook Political Report said, with a stroke of a pen, they can gain three seats and eliminate four Republican seats.
00:38:14.000He called the lines an effective gerrymander by Democrats.
00:38:17.000In fact, it's probably the biggest shift in the country.
00:38:20.000The new lines give Democrats opportunities to pick up seats on Long Island, in upstate New York, and in New York City, where Representative Nicole Malliotakis, a Staten Island Republican, would be drawn into a Democratic-leaning district.
00:38:31.000Republicans are likely to lose that fourth seat because New York has to shed one district overall.
00:38:37.000Other proposed changes could help shore up Democrats' hold on swing districts on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley ahead of what is expected to be a punishing election season for the party overall.
00:38:46.000In 2014, New York State voters had empowered a bipartisan commission to draw the new districts, but the panel broke down on party lines and couldn't reach consensus, so Democratic leaders in Albany just redesigned the map.
00:38:56.000State Senator Michael Gianaris, who chairs the Legislative Redistricting Task Force, he says, we did the best we could with the flawed process.
00:39:04.000It's not surprising a fairly drawn map might lead to more Democrats getting elected.
00:39:07.000So for those of you who don't understand gerrymandering, gerrymandering basically is a way of drawing congressional maps such that you turn, for example, heavy red districts into contested districts or turn contested districts into heavy blue districts.
00:39:23.000The idea is that by drawing the lines differently, you can magically shape how these districts go.
00:39:28.000So the most obvious district that has been reshaped here is the New York 11.
00:39:31.000So New York's 10th and 11th districts abut one another.
00:39:34.000The one that we were just talking about, the district that is currently held by Representative Malia Takis, is the New York 11th district.
00:39:41.000It runs up directly against Jerry Nadler's district in the New York 10.
00:39:44.000The New York 10 district It had the same map for quite a while, and now that map is changing.
00:39:49.000The way the map is changing is it is shedding a couple of very high population, very left areas into the New York 11, thereby turning a Republican district into a Democratic district.
00:40:00.000It shifts it from like an R plus 10 to a D plus 10.
00:40:46.000The reconfigured 3rd District sprawls from Suffolk County through Nassau County, Queens, and the Bronx into left-leaning parts of Westchester.
00:40:52.000The 19th District, held by Representative Antonio Delgado, would stretch all the way from Dutchess County in the Hudson Valley down to Utica and Binghamton in central New York.
00:41:01.000So, amazing stuff there from the New York Democrats, but really it's Republicans we should worry about.
00:41:07.000I mean, meanwhile, by the way, it's Democrats who are worried about the Nashville district.
00:41:12.000There's an entire piece in the New York Times, same day, about how it's Republicans in Tennessee who are really skewing things.
00:41:18.000By Margaret Renkel, contributing American opinion writer, who covers flora, fauna, politics, and culture in the American South, which is a hell of a portfolio.
00:41:33.000And she's complaining about the fact that the Republicans are redistricting in Nashville.
00:41:37.000So that's really bad and super racist, of course.
00:41:40.000Quote, it would be a ludicrous map by any definition.
00:41:42.000What makes it an outrageous map from a civil rights standpoint is that it exists solely to silence voters in this city, one of the most racially and culturally diverse in Tennessee.
00:41:49.000Under the new redistricting plan, Republicans in the legislature kept intact the counties in virtually all other house districts, but they carved Metropolitan Davidson County into three districts.
00:41:58.000Each one begins in national and extends far into the overwhelmingly white surrounding counties.
00:42:02.000Clearly, this is a matter of crucial importance to national voters, but it's also a stark example of the unfairness inherent in gerrymandering itself, which is so widespread and so undemocratic has to be nothing less than a national tragedy.
00:42:15.000you But of course, really, they're only worried when Republicans do it.
00:42:19.000When Democrats add three seats in New York, no problem.
00:42:22.000When Republicans do one seat added, presumably, in Tennessee, then that is the big problem.
00:42:34.000There's a brand new poll out From Monmouth University.
00:42:38.000It says that 7 in 10 Americans agree with the sentiment, quote, it's time we accept that COVID is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives, including 78% of those who report having gotten COVID and 65% of those who say they have not been infected.
00:42:50.000The main difference in the sense that it is time to move on is due to partisanship, ranging from 89% of Republicans and 71% of independents to just 47% of Democrats.
00:43:00.000This is why Joe Biden is in a massive box of his own making.
00:43:03.00053% of his own party doesn't think it's time to move on from COVID.
00:43:08.000They don't want to get back to normal.
00:43:10.000By the way, you want to see how far out of the mainstream the Democrats are?
00:43:13.000All you have to do is look in these polls at the Republican-Independent-Democrat breakdown.
00:43:16.000What you'll notice is that the Independents are lining up much more closely to the Republican position than they are to the Democratic position.
00:43:23.000Again, about 90% of Republicans, 89% of Republicans, say it's time to move on.
00:43:27.00070% of Independents say it's time to move on.
00:43:30.000Only 47% of Democrats say it's time to move on.
00:43:34.000Which means Democrats lose on this issue.
00:43:45.000It seems to be more of a realization we're not going to get this virus under control in a way we thought was possible just last year.
00:43:50.0004 in 10 Americans report they've already had COVID, including 27% who said their infection was confirmed with a test.
00:43:57.000About one-third of people who have been vaccinated report also being infected with COVID.
00:44:01.000About 6 in 10 of those who have not gotten a shot say they've been infected with the virus as well.
00:44:06.000Which, by the way, when you game that out and you realize that the vast majority of this country has had at least one dose of the vaccine, that means that pretty much everybody's either got natural immunity or vax immunity.
00:44:17.000It's a pretty small population at this point that has no natural immunity and no vax immunity.
00:44:24.000About half of the public is either very or somewhat concerned about catching one of the new COVID variants.
00:44:28.000This includes 58% of those who have not had COVID, but includes 38% of those who have already had it.
00:44:34.000The number of adults who are very concerned about catching a new variant is up somewhat from early December, which was only about 14%, before Omicron hit the United States.
00:44:43.000But a stable proportion of the public remains opposed to vaccination.
00:44:47.000Nearly half of American adults, 45%, report getting the booster, but a significant number, 37%, remain unlikely to ever do so.
00:44:53.000So again, what this poll basically says is that many Americans are pretty much done.
00:45:00.000That same poll finds that just over half of Americans, 52%, support instituting or reinstituting face mask and social distancing guidelines in their home state.
00:45:09.000That number is down from September and December.
00:45:14.000Less than half of the public, however, 43%, supports requiring people to show proof of vaccination in order to work in an office.
00:45:20.000So only a minority of people like the Biden-Vaxx mandate.
00:45:23.000About 52% want some face mask and social distancing guidelines in their home state, and you can guarantee that all those people voted for Joe Biden.
00:45:32.000To move beyond this, to move beyond the slow economy and the panic-stricken lifestyle, this administration needs to mobilize on behalf of the idea that we're done now.
00:45:43.000There was Anthony Fauci yesterday, literally yesterday, saying, we won't get back to a pre-COVID normal.
00:45:49.000I believe we'll start to see much more being open about indoor situations, be they theaters, be they restaurants, be they schools, be they workplaces.
00:46:01.000That doesn't mean that it's going to be exactly the way it was three or four years ago, but I think when it comes to travel, school, workplace, entertainment, We'll start to see a gradual return to normal, even though normal will not be exactly the way it was before all of this.
00:46:21.000Okay, I have some news for Anthony Fauci.
00:46:23.000Normal is exactly the way that it was before all of this.
00:46:25.000Down here in Florida, we are living exactly the way we were before all of this.
00:47:28.000I was not aware that this was allowed in California, but apparently here is Governor Newsom with Magic Johnson in that nice.
00:47:36.000And there are many pictures of him doing this.
00:47:38.000But the good news is that Gavin Newsom says that he had a mask on his hand, which is great because that is where you cough from, your hand.
00:47:45.000Typically, when I have some sort of cough, if I had COVID, I would assume that my hand would grow some sort of orifice and then I would start ejecting, like Spider-Man, COVID from my hand.
00:47:56.000Here is Gavin Newsom explaining that as long as the mask is on his hand, by the transitive property, it's on his mouth also.
00:48:01.000I was very judicious yesterday, very judicious.
00:48:05.000And you'll see the photo that I did take, where Magic was kind enough, generous enough to ask me for a photograph.
00:48:13.000And in my left hand's the mask, and I took a photo.
00:48:15.000The rest of the time I wore it, as we all should.
00:48:20.000Not when I had a glass of water or a thing.
00:48:23.000And I encourage everybody else to do so.
00:48:54.000Gavin Newsom doing yeoman's work over there.
00:48:56.000Meanwhile, Boris Johnson in serious hot water over in Great Britain, because as it turns out, he also was partying it up while pushing COVID restrictions on everybody else.
00:49:04.000What's amazing is all these politicians who basically are apologizing for the partying, not the restrictions.
00:49:57.000It's whether this government can be trusted to deliver.
00:50:01.000And I say, Mr. Speaker, yes, we can be trusted.
00:50:05.000Okay, so one of my favorite things about Britain is that for all of the talk about gentility, they're so much more vicious with each other in these public settings.
00:50:11.000I wish that Congress worked like this.
00:50:14.000We really are very prim and proper here in the United States.
00:50:16.000For all the talk about, you know, lack of comity, did you ever hear that in Congress?
00:50:20.000You remember that time when there was a representative named Joe Wilson who got up during the State of the Union and shouted, you lie, at Barack Obama and was like, oh my God!
00:51:09.000You're not following the science whatsoever.
00:51:11.000Here's Randy Weingarten, who doesn't give a crap about the science.
00:51:13.000All she wants is her teachers to get paid for never having to go back to a classroom again.
00:51:18.000There's not a person I know who wants to wear these things, but the reason we wear them is to protect ourselves and others.
00:51:25.000It's not about, particularly in the midst of Omicron, CDC and others have basically said that this has helped protect people from huge dissemination of a very, very transmissible virus.
00:51:40.000I would say to the governor of Virginia and to others, wait until the end of the Omicron spike.
00:52:15.000In the same way that I wear a yarmulke to show fealty to God, there are a bunch of people out there in the United States who are now wearing face masks to show fealty to government.
00:52:24.000Fealty to left-wing principles and a bizarre cultic belief system that if you do all the things the government tells you to do, you won't get Omicron, and you won't get sick, and you'll have done all of the sacrifices to the gods of COVID.
00:52:36.000The left created this bizarre mentality at the beginning of the pandemic that COVID was basically God's punishment to the United States for electing Donald Trump.
00:53:09.000Whether we're talking about the intersectional philosophy of life that results in full anti-Semitism, or whether we are talking about Omicron, The pattern for the left is, posit a theory that has nothing to do with reality, crash headlong into the iceberg of reality, and then keep putting your foot to the gas.
00:53:25.000Keep pushing that boat into the iceberg.
00:53:28.000After all, it's all just a matter of willpower.
00:54:11.000So after all of his precautions, after all of his hiding basements, after all of his ridiculous pledges to perform sacrifices of vegan animals on the pagan altars of COVID, this guy got COVID.
00:54:24.000Here he was yesterday announcing that the truckers are the bad guys.
00:54:28.000I have attended protests and rallies in the past when I agreed with the goals, when I supported the people expressing their concerns and their issues.
00:54:38.000Black Lives Matter is an excellent example of that.
00:54:41.000But I have also chosen to not go anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric.
00:54:48.000Violence towards fellow citizens and a disrespect not just of science but of the frontline health workers and quite frankly the 90% of truckers who have been doing the right thing to keep Canadians safe to put food on our tables.
00:55:08.000This is a moment for responsible leaders to think carefully about where they stand and who they stand with.
00:55:14.000I used to call this guy handsome Bernie Sanders, but now he's kind of mediocre looking Bernie Sanders.
00:55:18.000I have to say that COVID appears to have taken some of the life out of him.
00:55:22.000But my favorite part of this statement is where he says that these trucker protests, which have been peaceful so far as I'm aware, there were no arrests.
00:55:46.000And I never forget that all of your experts who told you that you could not go outside with your kids to a park also said that you should twerk in the streets for George Floyd, predicated on the lie that American law enforcement are systematically racist against black people.
00:55:59.000Never forget that, because these are the experts who expect you to trust them and not Joe Rogan.
00:56:03.000These are the people who let Whoopi Goldberg off the hook for antisemitism.
00:56:05.000These are the people who tell you that if you perform all of these acts of obeisance with your children on behalf of them so they can go to their nightclubs and sip their Cosmopolitans, Then this makes you a better person, a more morally praiseworthy person.
