The Ben Shapiro Show - You Must Support This Sexting Nazi!

00:00:00.000 Sexting, riots, and fear mongering about Susan Collins, the softest Republican in the United States Senate. 1.00

00:00:10.000 Vote for the rioting psychotics and the pornographic Nazis to stop Susan Collins. 0.99

00:00:15.000 This is the Democratic pitch in 2026.

00:00:18.000 All of that and much more today on the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:28.000 Okay, so listen, I get it.

00:00:30.000 I get that politics has now become a series of lesser of two evils choices, which means we're constantly compromising our principles, right?

00:00:37.000 We vote for flawed people to stop worse people.

00:00:41.000 We vote for people we don't like, sinful people, to stop bad policies.

00:00:44.000 We're way beyond character in politics.

00:00:46.000 I do.

00:00:46.000 I get it.

00:00:47.000 I get it.

00:00:47.000 But I have to say, what the Democrats are now doing in Maine is totally insane.

00:00:52.000 So, Graham Plattner is the Senate Democratic candidate in Maine. 0.73

00:00:56.000 He has a Nazi tattoo.

00:00:58.000 He wrote on public Reddit threads, About how much he was happy that an American soldier had been shot. 0.98

00:01:06.000 He has posted repeatedly about how he likes to pleasure himself in porta potties.

00:01:11.000 And Democrats say that you must, in fact, vote for him to stop Susan Collins.

00:01:17.000 It turns out he has a sexting scandal as well. 0.96

00:01:19.000 So the Nazi sexting guy who goes on Reddit to post about giant throbbing penises, I mean, these are sentences that have never before been said in all of human history. 0.88

00:01:27.000 That guy has to be, according to the Democrats, put into the United States Senate to stop again Susan Collins. 0.97

00:01:34.000 Not Donald Trump, Susan Collins, not even Ted Cruz, Susan Collins.

00:01:40.000 Susan Collins is a Republican, so maybe I agree with her like 65% of the time, but we should point out that Susan Collins voted to convict Donald Trump in his 2021 impeachment trial.

00:01:48.000 She voted against the big, beautiful bill. 0.83

00:01:51.000 She sank the ACA repeal bill in 2017.

00:01:53.000 She even blocked it from going through.

00:01:55.000 She was one of three Republicans who even voted to confirm Katanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court in 2022.

00:02:02.000 Democrats say you have to vote. 0.99

00:02:04.000 For the SS tattoo guy to stop her.

00:02:08.000 That's how crazy they've become, how radical.

00:02:10.000 It's as if Republicans nominated Dan Bilzerian for Senate in like Pennsylvania and then said you had to vote for him to stop John Fetterman.

00:02:18.000 Are we really this far gone, folks?

00:02:19.000 Really?

00:02:20.000 Like here in America?

00:02:21.000 He's again, here's the thing we're constantly hearing from Democrats, constantly, repeatedly, that this Republican is worse than the last Republican, that Donald Trump, he's so much worse than Mitt Romney.

00:02:32.000 And Mitt Romney was so much worse than George W. Bush.

00:02:35.000 And now JD Vance or Marco Rubio will be so much worse than Tom.

00:02:39.000 But Susan Collins?

00:02:40.000 Really?

00:02:42.000 Really?

00:02:42.000 You're doing all this to stop Susan Collins, the most moderate member of the United States Senate, from retaining her seat in Maine?

00:02:48.000 You're backing Nazi tattoo guy with the sexting issues?

00:02:52.000 Okay, so here's what happened over the course of the weekend. 0.97

00:02:55.000 So it turns out that Graham Plattner, who again is this psychotic, really truly a crazy person, the fake oyster farmer from Maine, grew up in privilege. 0.98

00:03:06.000 Went into the United States military voluntarily and then decided to crap on his fellow troops when he came back. 0.99

00:03:11.000 Well, it turns out that he also has been involved in a massive number of sex with people who are not his wife. 0.99

00:03:18.000 Oh, no.

00:03:19.000 Well, just two weeks ago, he told the New York Times that there were no more big stories coming out about him, actually.

00:03:24.000 There was no more Oppo research that was going to be dumped.

00:03:27.000 You know, other than he posts about the porta potties and about how he was happy to watch video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban.

00:03:35.000 Other than all that kind of stuff, there'd be nothing more.

00:03:37.000 Here he was two weeks ago.

00:03:40.000 The GOP is going to dig up everything and more that they can.

00:03:45.000 Yeah.

00:03:46.000 And probably lie at some point.

00:03:49.000 Is there something new you want to get ahead of?

00:03:51.000 No.

00:03:51.000 I mean, like, we've, I've been, I've lived my life.

00:03:56.000 Like, I've been there for the whole thing.

00:03:57.000 And it's, and because of that, like, I, I, I mean, I know what I've, what I've been through.

00:04:04.000 I know what I've, I know what my behavior has been.

00:04:07.000 I know all of it.

00:04:07.000 And the, I mean, there's a reason that even after however many months that was, October, when they dropped the opposition research stuff on us, and the whole time there was always this like, oh, there's more coming.

00:04:20.000 I'm always like, I don't know what this more is going to be.

00:04:26.000 So it was all over, right?

00:04:27.000 I mean, they were basically done.

00:04:28.000 Well, it turns out not so much.

00:04:31.000 Again, part of his campaign has been his beautiful journey with his wife.

00:04:35.000 And so he's been campaigning on it.

00:04:36.000 I mean, here he was campaigning for universal health care just last month, talking about his IVF journey with his wife.

00:04:45.000 It feels really great to have extra support as Graham and I are going through IVF as well as the Senate campaign.

00:04:53.000 Here in the States, when you go to the hospital, there's so many people there who like this might be financially destructive.

00:05:00.000 They're not sure how they're going to pay for it, on top of the fact that they're sick or injured or visiting a family member that is.

00:05:06.000 And it was wild to kind of see a healthcare system in which none of that existed.

00:05:12.000 People were just there to get treatment, and there wasn't this kind of underlying fear or underlying tension.

00:05:20.000 And it really goes to show, I think, what having a universal healthcare system does, not just practically, but also almost on like a spiritual or mental health level.

00:05:31.000 So, you know, like a beautiful relationship with his wife as the basis for universal health care.

00:05:35.000 Well, wow.

00:05:37.000 According to the New York Times, Mr. Plattner's wife, Amy Gertner, told a senior campaign aide that he had been exchanging sexual messages with multiple other women.

00:05:47.000 Oh, no.

00:05:48.000 Plattner's exchanges with women were confirmed by current and former campaign officials who gave different accounts of some of the details.

00:05:53.000 Ms. Gertner said the couple, who had married in November 2023, according to the town clerk of Sullivan, Maine, was working through his indiscretions in marriage counseling.

00:06:00.000 Now, again, We are not talking about like a couple that had problems 20 years ago.

00:06:05.000 We are talking, I mean, 2023 is not very long ago.

00:06:08.000 November 2023 is when they got married.

00:06:10.000 Genevieve McDonald, a former state legislator, was the Platner campaign's political director before leaving in October.

00:06:16.000 She said Gertner reached out just days before a big Labor Day rally with Senator Bernie Sanders and was concerned her husband's behavior could become a political liability.

00:06:24.000 Ms. McDonald said Gertner told her her husband had been exchanging sexual messages with as many as a dozen women.

00:06:30.000 A current Platner campaign official said that's not true.

00:06:33.000 It was only six women.

00:06:35.000 The conduct had stopped, the official said, before the campaign launch, just like five minutes ago. 0.90

00:06:41.000 Great job, everyone.

00:06:43.000 Now, Politico reported last week that Platner offered McDonald $15,000 to sign an NDA.

00:06:48.000 She declined it.

00:06:51.000 Morris Katz, who was Zorn Momdani's campaign manager, now, of course, he works for Graham Platner, railed against McDonald as an opportunistic operative who violated privacy, betrayed trust, and prioritized vengeance over decency.

00:07:03.000 You guys don't get to talk about decency.

00:07:04.000 You guys are running the campaign for Nazi tattoo guy.

00:07:07.000 Who hangs out with Bernie Sanders while sexting people?

00:07:10.000 Like, no.

00:07:11.000 Well, you know, some people use the internet like Graham Plattner in order to hit up women or post weird things about porta potties.

00:07:16.000 And some of us, you know, we use the internet because we need information or because we actually are using it for our commerce or because we are just looking to connect with people, you know, without the sexting.

00:07:27.000 But here is the thing every time you use the internet, somebody's watching you.

00:07:29.000 That's just the way that it works.

00:07:30.000 Didn't used to be that way.

00:07:31.000 Way back in the day, the internet was just kind of a fun place that you could go and get information and hang out with others.

00:07:36.000 And now most of the internet is just you being tracked.

00:07:39.000 Well, there is a way to stop that.

00:07:41.000 See, your internet provider can see your browsing activity.

00:07:44.000 In the U.S., they are legally allowed to sell that information.

00:07:46.000 And then we just let them do that, unless you use ExpressVPN.

00:07:50.000 ExpressVPN reroutes my internet activity through secure encrypted servers, helping it shield from internet providers and other third parties.

00:07:56.000 It hides my IP address.

00:07:57.000 It makes it much harder for data brokers to track me.

00:07:59.000 ExpressVPN is super duper simple.

00:08:01.000 I've been using it for years.

00:08:03.000 You download it, you tap, you're connected.

00:08:04.000 It works across phones, tablets, TVs, desktops, pretty much everything.

00:08:08.000 It covers up to 14 devices all at once.

00:08:10.000 Digital privacy is not a fringe issue.

00:08:11.000 It is a major issue in your life, whether you believe it or not.

00:08:14.000 Go protect yourself right now.

00:08:15.000 Right now, get ExpressVPN for just $349 a month.

00:08:18.000 If you use my special link, you can get four extra months of service.

00:08:21.000 Go to expressvpn.comslash Ben.

00:08:22.000 That's EXPRESSVPN.com slash Ben for four extra months of service.

00:08:28.000 The Daily Wire's Tim Rice reports that Graham Plattner has an active profile on the Predator's Paradise messaging app Kick.

00:08:37.000 And this is just another reason why you guys should become members who help support our investigative journalism.

00:08:41.000 This is a big story.

00:08:43.000 According to Tim, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation deems the anonymous messaging app Kick a Predator's Paradise thanks to a number of features that allow underage users to join the app and communicate with adults.

00:08:55.000 Well, that's not great.

00:08:56.000 Apparently, a Forbes investigation a couple years ago found that Kik had a huge child exploitation problem.

00:09:04.000 Even among consenting adults, Kik is no ordinary messenger.

00:09:06.000 The platform has been described as the app with the most severe sexual content.

00:09:11.000 It is often found at the center of sexploitation cases.

00:09:14.000 Plattner's Kik account bears the username phustle0331, which is strikingly similar to his Instagram handle, as well as the username for his now infamous Reddit account.

00:09:24.000 The Democrat was almost 32 years old when he joined the app.

00:09:28.000 70% of users are between the ages of 13 and 24.

00:09:32.000 And here is a screenshot of Platner's active kick profile.

00:09:35.000 It was active, like still.

00:09:37.000 He deactivated it like yesterday, apparently, or a couple of days ago.

00:09:42.000 So, I mean, first of all, I gotta say, first of all, the selfie strategically covers up the Totenkopf tattoo with his phone, the SS tattoo that he has.

00:09:52.000 He's covering that up with his phone.

00:09:55.000 Second of all, dudes, don't do this.

00:09:57.000 Like, really, don't do this.

00:09:58.000 It didn't work for Anthony Weiner.

00:09:59.000 It's never been a great strategy.

00:10:00.000 If you're trying to get the women in the online, taking a selfie of yourself with the toilet in the background, coming out of the shower, looking about 20 pounds overweight, I'm not sure that that's really going to do it for you. 0.95

00:10:12.000 I'm not even sure that if you're in great shape, it would do it for you. 1.00

00:10:15.000 Might attract gay dudes, but that's not how you get women. 1.00

00:10:17.000 It's just, as a general rule, that is not how it works.

00:10:22.000 Now, Platner's campaign then released a message from Platner's wife.

00:10:25.000 I mean, man, throwing out the wife as cannon fodder here is really gross. 0.99

00:10:30.000 It's really gross. 1.00

00:10:31.000 But here we go.

00:10:34.000 Our marriage counselor helps. 0.78

00:10:37.000 My personal counselor helps.

00:10:38.000 Graham's personal counselor helps.

00:10:42.000 And we work on our mental health every day.

00:10:48.000 No marriage is perfect.

00:10:50.000 And I don't want a perfect marriage.

00:10:55.000 I want my marriage.

00:10:57.000 And I want to be married to Graham.

00:10:59.000 Sorry, black flies.

00:11:02.000 I knew the man that I married is.

00:11:08.000 Wonderful and dynamic, and probably a genius.

00:11:14.000 I knew the man that I married had been through an immense amount of violent, active combat, and he's been in therapy for years.

00:11:28.000 I just admire the f out of him.

00:11:34.000 Elect the sexting guy who has been in therapy for years. 1.00

00:11:39.000 Because he requires that therapy because he's so screwed up from his past life that he has to sex with random people on kick. 0.99

00:11:46.000 That's a move. 0.99

00:11:47.000 That's a move.

00:11:49.000 I'm not sure it's going to work out great, but it is a move.

00:11:54.000 Platner says this is all about the powers that be coming after him.

00:11:57.000 I don't know.

00:11:58.000 I feel like there are, you know, a few people in Maine who don't have Nazi tattoos and, you know, aren't sexting.

00:12:05.000 I mean, Janet, if this is what they came up with Graham Platner and he was the one they decided to nominate, imagine the kind of sexting scandal that Janet Mills.

00:12:13.000 The Democrat governor would have gone through.

00:12:14.000 I mean, obviously, they had to avoid that to come up with Graham Platner.

00:12:18.000 But he says, listen, the powers that be, the powers that be have to stop.

00:12:21.000 They're trying to stop us.

00:12:27.000 I can't believe they picked this guy.

00:12:29.000 I cannot.

00:12:32.000 That apart.

00:12:32.000 We're going to come after us in every awful way that they possibly can.

00:12:35.000 And we're just going to keep talking about the fact that the hospitals are closing, the fact that childcare facilities are closing, the fact that teachers and nurses aren't paid enough, and the fact that everybody down here continues to work harder and longer and get less.

00:12:49.000 But of course, the powers that be do not want us to talk about that.

00:12:53.000 And so they're going to just do gossip instead.

00:12:55.000 But the stories are true.

00:12:57.000 It's not gossip.

00:12:57.000 Your wife literally told the campaign, literally told the campaign that you were sexting like a dozen women.

00:13:01.000 So there's that.

00:13:03.000 That one's on you, my dude.

00:13:05.000 It's not anybody else's fault.

00:13:06.000 He went on Reddit while he was a full grown adult putting out posts about engorged, throbbing.

00:13:14.000 That's his fault.

00:13:17.000 The combination, by the way, of effeminate campaign managers and totem coat tattoo ridden sexting freaks for this main campaign really solid stuff.

00:13:27.000 Plantner's campaign strategist again, Morris Katz.

00:13:29.000 Who helped Zoran Momtani?

00:13:33.000 Here he was in March 2026 talking about why Graham Platner is so wonderful. 1.00

00:13:36.000 And the answer is because he's a piece of crap, just like Trump voters. 1.00

00:13:39.000 That's actually his defense. 1.00

00:13:39.000 I'm not kidding. 1.00

00:13:42.000 And I think when we talk about wanting real people in our politics, and real people have said fed up things online 15 years ago.

00:13:49.000 And we can't have one without the other.

00:13:52.000 You know, we can't just have the real, authentic, you get to say, you served George DeFarmer, you never wanted to run for office.

00:13:59.000 Your, you know, Gavin Newsom, who's known he wanted to run for office for probably since he was three years old.

00:14:06.000 And like that's, and I think what people say is like, we are, we've spent so much time, I mean, you know, like all the, every cable news, all every segment, how are we going to win back the people Trump has taken?

00:14:15.000 How are we going to win back the young men who we've lost online?

00:14:18.000 It's like, you know what?

00:14:19.000 We have someone who was one of them and found his way out the other side and who can uniquely tell that story. 1.00

00:14:26.000 He can tell the story of how he's a piece of crap to all those Trump voters who are also pieces of crap. 1.00

00:14:31.000 Slow clap for these guys. 1.00

00:14:32.000 Okay, so here is sort of my point.

00:14:33.000 My point is, I understand if they did this because, oops, we nominated a bad candidate and we didn't know all this stuff and we put him up there.

00:14:41.000 And now we need to vote for that guy to stop Ted Cruz.

00:14:44.000 We need to vote for that guy right now because we must stop Tom Cotton.

00:14:48.000 We must stop Donald Trump, right?

00:14:50.000 We nominated a terrible candidate and it's too late.

00:14:51.000 Now we got to do what we can do.

00:14:53.000 Okay, they're doing this to stop Susan Collins. 0.89

00:14:56.000 This is how crazy they are.

00:14:57.000 The Democrats are like, you must vote for the National Socialist. 0.79

00:15:02.000 With the sexting problem to stop Susan Collins. 0.98

00:15:05.000 I don't want to hear anymore from Democrats who are supporting this kind of crap about how Republicans have a moderation problem. 0.93

00:15:11.000 I don't want to hear it. 0.99

00:15:13.000 On its face, it's ridiculous. 1.00

00:15:13.000 It's ridiculous. 1.00

00:15:15.000 Graham Plattner is running against Susan Collins. 0.94

00:15:18.000 And if you hear the disbelief in my voice here, it's because Susan Collins has been the bugaboo of the traditional Republican Party for a long time. 0.50

00:15:24.000 It is better to have her there than a Democrat, but only by a marginal amount because she votes a significant percentage of the time on major issues. 0.68

00:15:33.000 With the Democrats. 0.59

00:15:35.000 And Democrats still are like, nope, got to vote for the ambulatory psychotic who has to routinely visit counseling so that he doesn't randomly sext women in Maine.

00:15:44.000 Genius level stuff.

00:15:46.000 Kyle Kalinske, left wing radical, he tweeted, Platner could have sexted my mom and I'd still vote for him.

00:15:55.000 Yeah, we know.

00:15:56.000 We know.

00:15:57.000 He might have, by the way.

00:15:58.000 Everything's possible.

00:16:00.000 Senate Democrat Chris Murphy is on Face the Nation and he's defending Graham Platner.

00:16:05.000 Of course.

00:16:08.000 I mean, I have not followed this story as closely as others have, but I mean, Grant Plattner is somebody that served our country, he served his community.

00:16:17.000 He's also made mistakes, and he has admitted that.

00:16:22.000 Character also involves standing up to people who are bankrupting and corrupting this country.

00:16:30.000 And this race is going to be a contrast between somebody that has put his life on the line for this country against somebody that is literally empowering the moral hollowing out of our nation from the White House.

00:16:47.000 Now, again, the idea is must defend this guy no matter what because Trump.

00:16:51.000 Because Trump, once you're now in this mode, there are no limits.

00:16:53.000 There are really no limits.

00:16:55.000 Chank Uyghur found who's responsible. 1.00

00:16:57.000 Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it. 1.00

00:16:58.000 It's the Jews. 0.99

00:16:59.000 It's the Jews. 1.00

00:17:00.000 I know. 1.00

00:17:01.000 You can't believe it from Chank. 1.00

00:17:02.000 Democrats are now attacking Graham with no shame. 1.00

00:17:02.000 It's shocking. 1.00

00:17:05.000 Same Democrats who told us to vote blue no matter what.

00:17:07.000 When it was time to, when it was to back establishment candidates, are now stabbing Platner in the back.

00:17:11.000 Why?

00:17:12.000 Guys like Cory Booker, 100% work for Israel. 0.68

00:17:14.000 That's who is organizing this.

00:17:15.000 Yes, Cory Booker, the tool of the Udin.

00:17:20.000 John Favreau of the Pod Save America crew.

00:17:23.000 Who again sometimes tries to portray himself as a moderate?

00:17:25.000 Not so much.

00:17:26.000 I'd just say that if the reason you don't want to support a candidate is because he and his wife chose not to share, they went through marriage counseling to deal with infidelity.

00:17:32.000 That's your choice.

00:17:33.000 But I do think there are other factors in the race that will have more of a direct impact on your life.

00:17:38.000 And I'm just astonished at hearing Democrats do this routine after attacking Donald Trump over stuff happening in his marital life for years.

00:17:47.000 Now it's a private matter.

00:17:48.000 Little inconsistency there.

00:17:50.000 Ro Khanna says, I'm proud of Graham for having the character to stand up against the war in Iran, against genocide, and against an unfair and lopsided economy. 1.00

00:17:56.000 Again, it's about the Jews. 0.99

00:17:58.000 I got to say, it does take an extraordinary kind of skill to turn Graham Platner not being able to keep his dick off the internet into a story about the Jews. 0.98

00:18:08.000 And really well done to Ro Khanna and Cenk Uyghur. 0.97

00:18:11.000 That it's really about the Israelis. 0.99

00:18:12.000 Somehow the nefarious Israelis made Graham Platner 10 years ago post things about throbbing engorged penises on Reddit and also join a sexting group. 1.00

00:18:24.000 Man, the Jews really are good at this stuff. 1.00

00:18:27.000 Really solid stuff. 0.97

00:18:29.000 Platner's team.

00:18:30.000 Prevented him from having to talk with reporters after a rally on Sunday.

00:18:33.000 Here's what that looked like.

00:18:49.000 Well, it's a good looking group of people, the people who defend Graham Plattner.

00:18:54.000 Bear onesie and all. 0.71

00:18:55.000 Cory Booker, who again, Chen Kweger is calling him out as the Israeli tool. 0.51

00:19:00.000 Cory Booker.

00:19:01.000 Here he was waffling on Graham Plattner, asked about it on ABC.

00:19:07.000 Do you have concerns with the weight of all these controversies that it may jeopardize Democratic hopes to get that Senate seat in Maine?

00:19:17.000 Yeah, I have concerns.

00:19:18.000 That guy has questions to answer, and that's what campaigns are for.

00:19:22.000 But when I go all over New Jersey and see hundreds and hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans losing their health care and millions more seeing their health care costs go up, as I have families who say, I can't afford gas for my car and child care for my children.

00:19:36.000 I know that so much is riding on Democrats taking control of the Senate.

00:19:40.000 That this election, if we do not get the votes necessary to take care of the House and the Senate, we will continue to have an out of control president.

00:19:48.000 And I'm going to tell you right now, as he is a lamed up president, he's becoming more and more dangerous.

00:19:55.000 Okay, so Cory Booker is still stumping for Graham Plattner. 0.99

00:19:59.000 What a terrible tool of the Jews he is, truly. 0.93

00:20:01.000 But again, this is how radical the Democrats are. 0.98

00:20:03.000 Even these supposed moderates are just radicals, or at least giving in to the radicals at this point.

00:20:07.000 To stop.

00:20:09.000 You know, fairly moderate Republican policy.

00:20:11.000 Already coming up, Democrats are so radical that not only are many of them going to vote for a Nazi tattooed sexting freak, but also they are now rioting over illegal immigration.

00:20:21.000 Again, this time in New Jersey.

00:20:22.000 We'll get to that in a moment.

00:20:23.000 First, here's a question How many brokers does it take to ensure modern business?

00:20:26.000 The answer is for a lot of companies, I don't know.

00:20:28.000 I don't know.

00:20:29.000 Because here's the thing you probably have multiple policies and multiple applications and multiple renewal dates and different carriers and different contacts and often no clear picture of how everything actually fits together.

00:20:39.000 It's a very, very complicated business process and you probably don't even know.

00:20:42.000 Whether you have enough insurance or too much insurance, you're digging through PDFs and email chains trying to find quick answers to those kinds of questions.

00:20:50.000 Well, this is what SuperSure is trying to solve.

00:20:52.000 SuperSure acts as a single brokerage relationship for your business insurance backed by a team that works with you year round, not just when it's time to renew your policy.

00:20:59.000 If you've ever stared at an insurance policy and wondered what it actually says, their feature, Fine Print Facts, translates the legal jargon into plain English, helping you understand what's covered, what's not, and where there may be gaps.

00:21:09.000 Business insurance is important.

00:21:11.000 Understanding it should not require a law degree.

00:21:13.000 Right now, You can go to supersure.comslash Shapiro, get a full report on your current policies with no obligation.

00:21:36.000 So, over the weekend, there were riots in New Jersey, basically, over a detention center overseen by ICE.

00:21:46.000 That detention center had suspended visitation last week because of protests over living conditions for detainees.

00:21:52.000 There have been rumors that there is a hunger strike inside that facility.

00:21:55.000 That's being denied at this point that there is some sort of hunger strike inside the facility.

00:22:02.000 Fox reports that, again, visitation was only ever suspended because of a dangerous perimeter being caused by the rioters.

00:22:11.000 Basically, there was a rumor that went out and people decided to go nuts.

00:22:14.000 And here is what that looked like.

00:22:16.000 Here is the Newark PD struggling to hold up barriers against protesters.

00:22:19.000 What were they going to do?

00:22:20.000 Storm the Bastille here?

00:22:21.000 Here's what it looked like.

00:22:30.000 If you can't see, they're literally trying to push the metal barriers at the cops.

00:22:30.000 Gentle, nice people.

00:22:39.000 Why are you working for fascists?

00:22:41.000 They're just trying to detain, you know, and deport people who are criminals.

00:22:46.000 You can see the Palestinian kafiyas everywhere, of course, because it's all part of one big movement. 0.72

00:22:49.000 It's the same radical anti Western movement, it's all part of the same thing. 0.74

00:22:53.000 And it has infused the entire Democratic Party.

00:22:57.000 Mikey Sherrill, this is partially her fault. 0.95

00:22:59.000 She, of course, in March 2026, signed a bunch of immigration related bills that were designed to stifle law enforcement. 0.95

00:23:07.000 One bill barred law enforcement from wearing face coverings. 0.98

00:23:09.000 Another barred state and local enforcement from cooperating with ICE.

00:23:12.000 A third restricted state authorities from sharing someone's immigration status without a judicial warrant.

00:23:16.000 But then she says, Oh, I don't know why people are riding.

00:23:18.000 Why are people riding? 0.99

00:23:19.000 Maybe it's because you keep feeding the alligator, lady. 1.00

00:23:22.000 Maybe that would be the reason.

00:23:23.000 She put up tweets saying, Last night, masked individuals at Delaney Hall attacked the barrier in the protected protest area and began aggressive and dangerous actions against Newark and New Jersey state police.

00:23:33.000 Including throwing projectiles, utilizing barriers as weapons, and lighting tires on fire in the street.

00:23:38.000 These actions put both peaceful protesters and law enforcement in danger.

00:23:41.000 The police were not in protective gear.

00:23:44.000 We simply cannot let ICE surge into our community, is her conclusion.

00:23:47.000 So I don't like the protesters.

00:23:49.000 Also, ICE cannot surge into our community.

00:23:52.000 This is how you guys end up here.

00:23:54.000 I do not know why these individuals attacked or what they wanted to accomplish.

00:23:56.000 I know why.

00:23:57.000 Maybe it's because you and your government keep undermining ICE instead of cooperating with ICE and allowing for basic arrest functions to take place.

00:24:05.000 The Newark mayor, Ras Baraka, Had to declare a mandatory curfew, actually, put out a statement to ensure the safety and well being of all residents.

00:24:15.000 A mandatory curfew for a half mile area surrounding Delaney Hall is being implemented, effective immediately.

00:24:21.000 So that's how bad things got.

00:24:24.000 Mikey Sherrill continues to say, I will keep pushing to close Delaney Hall for good.

00:24:28.000 So again, you want it both ways.

00:24:30.000 You want to say that a truly grave human rights violation is happening at Delaney Hall, and the people who are enforcing it, you should never cooperate with.

00:24:39.000 Also, it's really bad when people decide to riot.

00:24:41.000 I'm sorry, that's going to be a hard line to maintain.

00:24:46.000 Continue pushing DHS to provide appropriate medicine and care for all detainees, especially the most vulnerable.

00:24:53.000 It must give detainees a meaningful chance to review their cases.

00:24:57.000 It must stop pressuring detainees and signing deportation documents.

00:25:02.000 And it must be transparent about who is being held at that facility.

00:25:06.000 I'll keep pressing DHS to do better, to abide by our nation's Constitution.

00:25:12.000 And to close Delaney Hall down for good.

00:25:15.000 Again, these are people who are attempting to stop federal law enforcement from doing its job of deporting criminals.

00:25:20.000 That's what they are attempting to do.

00:25:22.000 And then they turn around and they say, no, no, no, we're not on the side of the criminals attempting to assault law enforcement.

00:25:26.000 I don't believe you.

00:25:28.000 I don't believe you.

00:25:29.000 Representative Hakeem Jeffries, who's desperate to become Speaker of the House, he's doing the same routine, pretending that Delaney Hall is some sort of grave human rights violating concentration camp.

00:25:41.000 We spoke to several individuals, none of whom has a criminal record, many of whom have been detained here at Delaney Hall for months.

00:25:52.000 This is not America.

00:25:55.000 The lack of access to quality food, that's not America.

00:25:59.000 The lack of access to adequate medical treatment, that's not America.

00:26:04.000 The retaliation that is taking place, that's not America.

00:26:08.000 The fact that there are 18-year-old high school girls, being held here is not America. 0.98

00:26:14.000 Delaney Hall should be shut down.

00:26:17.000 And every single individual, particularly those at a high level connected to this facility, they're engaging in a depraved indifference to human life.

00:26:28.000 And every single member of this Trump administration is going to be held accountable.

00:26:34.000 They're just fostering chaos.

00:26:36.000 That's all this is. 0.77

00:26:37.000 They are fostering chaos, stopping us from enforcing our immigration law, facilitating, by the way, groups that are attempting to do all of this.

00:26:48.000 There's a tipster on X who had previously infiltrated anti signal chats in Minnesota and has now done the same in New Jersey.

00:26:54.000 And this tipster says, I messaged a group admin asking how my family in New Jersey could help the Delaney Hall protesters.

00:26:59.000 Within minutes, she sent me a supply list and a Venmo donation link.

00:27:03.000 The supply list was not water bottles, it was P100 respirators, that's tear gas grade, military spec impact goggles, welding gloves for picking up hot tear gas canisters, helmets, body armor, and Sudokan chemical decontamination wipes.

00:27:17.000 And apparently, the main point of contact was a professional organizer named Jenny Garcia, who is apparently the communications coordinator for the DC based Detention Watch Network, which boasts $7.2 million in assets and is funded by the Ford Foundation.

00:27:31.000 This person is also the campaign coordinator at the American Friends Service Committee Immigrant Rights Program.

00:27:37.000 The Tides Foundation gave them a couple hundred grand in 2023.

00:27:41.000 The Tides Foundation is funded by the Open Society Foundation, which is Soros.

00:27:46.000 This is where we are.

00:27:47.000 This is where we are. 0.98

00:27:49.000 The Democratic Party has moved so far, so fast, that they are basically in line with third worldist anti law enforcement trash. 0.97

00:27:56.000 That is what they are doing. 0.87

00:27:57.000 And they're doing that in order to stop Susan Collins.

00:28:01.000 Susan Collins, which brings us to the hottest online story of the day.

00:28:06.000 Apparently, according to Reuters, Great Britain has now blocked Cenkweger and Hassan Piker from entering the country.

00:28:14.000 So they say that they are being punished for their views on Israel.

00:28:19.000 There's no evidence this is the case.

00:28:22.000 There's no evidence this is the case.

00:28:25.000 They say they're being punished for their views on Israel.

00:28:31.000 Apparently, the Britain Interior Ministry said travel authorization for these individuals had been canceled as their presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good.

00:28:41.000 Their statement did not mention Israel because very unclear that this has anything to do with Israel. 0.63

00:28:48.000 Didn't stop Piker and Cenk from reporting that it was indeed the Udin, of course.

00:28:54.000 Hassan Piker.

00:28:56.000 Who is in love with genocidal regimes abroad, ranging from Hamas to the Chinese regime, says the UK has revoked my visa as well, all at the behest of Israel.

00:29:06.000 The West is betraying liberal values for a genocidal fascist foreign government. 0.74

00:29:09.000 Soon we will all become Israel.

00:29:11.000 I mean, so first of all, I just want to point out that there's no evidence this is the case.

00:29:14.000 Number two, I don't want to hear about liberal values from Hassan Piker.

00:29:17.000 That's absurd.

00:29:19.000 The use of liberal free speech values by people who despise, despise the West is the vulnerable point in the West.

00:29:28.000 We have rules.

00:29:29.000 People enter our country. 1.00

00:29:30.000 They use the privileges and immunities granted to United States citizens to destroy our country. 0.99

00:29:35.000 And then they claim that they are standing up for liberal values. 0.99

00:29:37.000 It's pathetic. 0.88

00:29:40.000 Cenk, by the way, tweeted something similar, suggesting, of course, that he had also been banned because of all of this. 0.97

00:29:49.000 Now, I don't know why they were banned.

00:29:51.000 Again, the UK standard was that their presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good.

00:29:57.000 I mean, maybe it was that Hassan Piker loves terrorists.

00:30:00.000 Chang said, I've been banned from the UK.

00:30:01.000 I tried to get on a flight to London to attend South by Southwest in London and give a speech at Oxford.

00:30:06.000 I've been banned for criticizing Israel.

00:30:08.000 Are we free anymore?

00:30:09.000 This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country.

00:30:16.000 Watching these people weaponize American standards of free speech with regard to a foreign country, the UK, while hating the civilization itself, is it's sure a trick.

00:30:26.000 It really, really is.

00:30:28.000 I mean, maybe, I don't know why they banned Hassan and Cenk.

00:30:31.000 I mean, maybe it's because Hassan Piker loves terrorists because he does love terrorists.

00:30:31.000 I don't know why.

00:30:35.000 I mean, here he was, we played this clip several times, talking about how he thinks Hamas is, he'd vote for Hamas over Israel a thousand times.

00:30:41.000 Hamas is a genocidal terror group that murders Gazans on the regular, but he's a fan.

00:30:49.000 When you say Hamas is a thousand times better, do you actually mean that? 0.50

00:30:53.000 Or is that a rhetorical move or like a solidarity signal?

00:30:57.000 Like, what?

00:30:58.000 I mean, it's all of the above.

00:30:59.000 I do mean it.

00:31:00.000 I think it's a rhetorical move because it frustrates a lot of people.

00:31:03.000 I've also said I'm a harm reduction voter.

00:31:05.000 I'm a lesser evil voter. 0.95

00:31:06.000 And therefore, I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time. 0.90

00:31:11.000 You'd vote for Hamas over Israel every single time. 0.90

00:31:13.000 I mean, maybe it's that. 0.74

00:31:14.000 Maybe.

00:31:15.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:31:17.000 Maybe it's that, Cenk. 0.87

00:31:18.000 Likes the Ayatollah. 0.94

00:31:19.000 Could be that.

00:31:21.000 And he literally tweeted I criticized Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, a thousand times.

00:31:24.000 He didn't, by the way.

00:31:25.000 There's no evidence that he did, at least on Twitter.

00:31:28.000 He was oppressing his own people and preventing democracy.

00:31:30.000 But there's one thing you can't take away from him. 0.95

00:31:31.000 He died on his own two feet instead of kneeling to Israel.

00:31:33.000 That took courage.

00:31:34.000 He didn't bow.

00:31:36.000 Now, again, I have no evidence that this is why he was banned from the UK.

00:31:39.000 And in fact, I happen to think it's probably not why he was banned from the UK.

00:31:45.000 Here was Cenk trying to explain.

00:31:46.000 Obviously, so disturbed.

00:31:47.000 So disturbed, Cenk. 0.99

00:31:50.000 The most remarkable thing just happened.

00:31:53.000 I went to the airport to go to London.

00:31:55.000 I'm going to give panel speeches at South by Southwest London and two speeches at Oxford.

00:32:01.000 But it turns out I'm not because the person at the United counter said, You have been banned from the United Kingdom.

00:32:10.000 It says here the government has rejected you.

00:32:13.000 So I already had a visa.

00:32:14.000 It was a two year visa.

00:32:15.000 I was in the middle of it.

00:32:16.000 So they went in and pulled the visa apparently.

00:32:20.000 I had no idea why.

00:32:21.000 And I have to say that it was a bit of a gut punch.

00:32:24.000 It's a little bit hard to shake me, but I was shaken there because if that feeling of having your freedom taken away was so visceral.

00:32:33.000 No, you're not allowed to travel to Oxford, to London, to the United Kingdom.

00:32:39.000 You're banned.

00:32:41.000 You don't have that freedom anymore.

00:32:45.000 You don't have that freedom anymore. 1.00

00:32:47.000 Again, that's a foreign country and it gets to make its own rules. 1.00

00:32:51.000 Now, we'll discuss the rules in a second. 0.97

00:32:52.000 I think the rules in Britain are really, really screwed up.

00:32:55.000 But I just want to point out here that the idea that he was banned because he's anti Israel, the Home Secretary of the UK is a person named Shabana Mahmoud.

00:33:05.000 Shabana Mahmoud is in favor of boycott, divestment, and sanctions from Israel.

00:33:08.000 She herself is wildly anti Israel.

00:33:11.000 And by the way, you know who else has been banned historically?

00:33:13.000 Well, I mean, just last month, Ezra Levant, who's pro Israel, was banned from the Tommy Robinson rally.

00:33:18.000 He was banned from entering the country.

00:33:19.000 So were Eva Vlardingerbroek, a Dutch influencer, and Ada Lush, a Spanish commentator, and Philippe de Winter.

00:33:26.000 A Flemish MP and Dominic Tarzinski, a Polish MEP, they were all banned from entering.

00:33:31.000 So let's just start with the basics here on principle.

00:33:34.000 If you're an American citizen, it is your unalienable right to say what you want in America.

00:33:38.000 That's a reality.

00:33:39.000 That's how the law works.

00:33:41.000 American rights to free speech, however, do not extend to you saying, for example, that you would like to destroy Taiwan in the name of China and then Taiwan has to let you enter Taiwan.

00:33:50.000 That's not a thing.

00:33:50.000 Right?

00:33:52.000 That's not a thing.

00:33:53.000 But in America, the basic idea, Is that American citizens ought to be protected from the overreach of the government.

00:33:59.000 So if you're an American citizen, you are protected from the government.

00:34:03.000 You have an immunity to the power of the government along these lines.

00:34:07.000 Okay, but you know who doesn't have that immunity?

00:34:10.000 People who are visiting here, if you are not an American citizen and you support hatred and terrorism of our country, we shouldn't let you in.

00:34:19.000 We should not.

00:34:22.000 If you want to come on vacay from Turkey or Syria and you hate America, we should not let you in. 1.00

00:34:29.000 There is no reason for us to let you in. 1.00

00:34:33.000 That is, you don't have a right. 1.00

00:34:35.000 Mahmoud Khalil should never have been allowed in the country. 1.00

00:34:37.000 I have a feeling that Cenk Uyghur's parents probably should not have been allowed in the country in the first place. 1.00

00:34:41.000 The reason he's a citizen is he was brought here. 0.99

00:34:43.000 When he was eight and lived here for a long time. 0.99

00:34:46.000 But Chank, obviously, not a huge fan of the country.

00:34:48.000 I don't know what his parents' feelings were, whether they violated the oath that they took when they came here. 0.90

00:34:53.000 Hassan Piker came when he was an adult.

00:34:54.000 He was 18.

00:34:55.000 Bit of a different story than even Chank, who came here when he was a kid. 0.52

00:34:58.000 But put all of that aside, they're both American citizens.

00:35:01.000 They can say what they want in America to our everlasting regret at having let their families in. 0.99

00:35:07.000 But this bizarre notion, this bizarre notion that somehow, You have a right to go into a country while hating its fundamental civilization is crap. 0.97

00:35:20.000 Now, that's not actually the standard in Britain. 0.95

00:35:22.000 So, Britain is morally relativistic.

00:35:24.000 It is not that Britain is banning people who are anti-Britain, which they should probably.

00:35:29.000 It is that Britain is totally morally relativistic.

00:35:32.000 I think Britain ought to ban people who hate Western civilization, but that's not actually what Britain does.

00:35:36.000 In 2003, for example, Cambridge Union hosted Abu Hamzu al-Masri, an Islamist cleric who ended up being extradited to the U.S. on 11 terror charges.

00:35:45.000 That included taking hostages in Yemen.

00:35:47.000 Attempting to set up an Al Qaeda training camp in Oregon.

00:35:49.000 In 2011, Oxford Union was addressed by the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi via live stream.

00:35:55.000 In late 2024, a guy named Miko Peled, who is an Israeli who hates Israel and openly defended the October 7th attacks, he came to Britain and said that the attacks were not terrorism, but acts of heroism. 0.63

00:36:08.000 So listen, I think all those people should have been banned from entry.

00:36:11.000 They weren't.

00:36:12.000 In 2009, however, Michael Savage, the American talk show host, was banned from Britain because he criticized Islam, basically.

00:36:18.000 So, the problem I have with Britain's standard isn't that they consistently ban people who threaten their civilization.

00:36:24.000 They don't do that.

00:36:25.000 They constantly let those people in and they let them become citizens and members of their government.

00:36:28.000 The problem is they won't ban many of the people who do threaten their civilization, but they do ban people, many of the people who would like to stand up for their civilization. 0.98

00:36:37.000 So, what is their actual stupid standard over in Britain?

00:36:40.000 So, Britain's standard, as articulated by, again, the Interior Ministry, is that they ban people who aren't, quote unquote, conducive to the public good. 0.99

00:36:47.000 That is a fungible standard.

00:36:49.000 So, for example, you could be banned from Britain if you quote, foster hatred, which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.

00:36:56.000 Now, I'll read that again, because again, to understand, you have to understand that they can ban people if they quote, foster hatred, which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.

00:37:05.000 Well, that's the heckler's veto.

00:37:07.000 So, maybe I get banned in the UK right now, even though I wasn't a couple of years ago, because maybe my presence causes radical Muslim riots against Jews in Golders Green. 0.95

00:37:18.000 That's quite possible. 0.93

00:37:19.000 That would be a crappy standard.

00:37:22.000 But all the people today who are shedding tears for Hassan and Chang, both of whom stand for terrorist groups and brutal dictatorships across the world, while then complaining about Western speech standards, not a single tier, not a single solitary tier, zero tears. 0.63

00:37:37.000 I think Britain's standards are crap, but I think Britain's standards should actually be more objective because the big problem with Europe is not that they violated their free speech standards.

00:37:50.000 In particular, it's that the things they ban are traditionally the things that actually cut in favor of their civilization. 0.98

00:37:57.000 That they allowed in, this is true for all of Europe.

00:37:59.000 Europe decided that it was imperative under liberal values to allow in millions of people who despise their civilization and ban people who speak up against it.

00:38:07.000 That's the problem in Europe.

00:38:10.000 The problem is not banning enough people who hate their civilization.

00:38:13.000 And that's how you end up with Paris.

00:38:14.000 So, over the weekend, gigantic riots in France.

00:38:18.000 Why did they riot this time?

00:38:19.000 Well, this time they rioted because a soccer team won a game.

00:38:24.000 Yep.

00:38:25.000 Big soccer riot.

00:38:26.000 But this is not just kind of your normal soccer hooligan riot.

00:38:28.000 It turns out an extraordinarily outsized portion of, say, young Middle Eastern males rioting in France.

00:38:36.000 According to France 24, French authorities announced Monday 890 people were arrested across the country when overnight celebrations of Paris Saint Germain's Champions League victory over Arsenal were marred by violent clashes and a road accident that killed a young man.

00:38:52.000 Thousands of people poured into the streets of Paris for the match and to revel in PSG's triumph in the final held in the Hungarian capital of Budapest late on Saturday.

00:39:01.000 Mobs clashed with police.

00:39:02.000 Some 22,000 police were deployed across France after unrest last year when PSG also won the competition.

00:39:08.000 Here is some of the film.

00:39:09.000 Here's what it looked like as the rioters burned cars and smashed windows, as one would when your soccer team wins a game.

00:39:14.000 AHHHHH If you're wondering why they are wearing jerseys that say Qatar on them, the reason is because this team is owned by Qatar.

00:39:30.000 So burning bicycles, as one would. 0.99

00:39:32.000 Setting off fireworks, burning things.

00:39:34.000 That's what one would do when your soccer team wins.

00:39:37.000 Massive crowd was rioting right in front of the Eiffel Tower. 0.93

00:39:41.000 So this is what France has become.

00:39:42.000 Great job, France. 1.00

00:39:42.000 You did a great job importing those millions of radical Muslims. 1.00

00:39:46.000 It's done great for you. 1.00

00:39:47.000 It's been awesome.

00:39:48.000 By the way, dressed like terrorists, like with the towel around their face and everything.

00:39:54.000 Really good stuff. 0.55

00:39:55.000 Young men destroying a bus stop.

00:39:58.000 Jumping on a torched car in front of the Eiffel Tower.

00:40:02.000 Like, really, just this is great stuff here.

00:40:05.000 France is in the best of shape.

00:40:08.000 Giant riots in the streets because you won a soccer.

00:40:11.000 And of course, what were they chanting?

00:40:13.000 What were they chanting as they set fire at the base of the Eiffel Tower?

00:40:17.000 They were chanting, wait for it.

00:40:18.000 You know what the answer is going to be.

00:40:19.000 You know what it's going to be.

00:40:21.000 Yeah, you got it.

00:40:21.000 It was Allahu Akbar.

00:40:35.000 Oh boy.

00:40:36.000 So, this is what happens when you don't bar people from your country who hate your country.

00:40:42.000 Emmanuel Macron was at a Champs Elysees celebration with the PSG.

00:40:47.000 He said, Unfortunately, we witnessed unacceptable scenes of violence in Paris and other cities for much of last night.

00:40:51.000 That is not football.

00:40:52.000 That is not sport.

00:40:53.000 That is not what we love.

00:40:54.000 We will be uncompromising with those responsible.

00:40:56.000 We do not want to see this anymore.

00:40:57.000 Enough is enough.

00:40:58.000 It's not over.

00:40:58.000 It's over.

00:40:59.000 It's not over, by the way.

00:41:01.000 We should point out that Paris Saint Germain is a Qatari soft power project.

00:41:07.000 That's what it is.

00:41:08.000 It was bought by the Qatar Sports Investment in 2011.

00:41:11.000 This is what Qatar does.

00:41:12.000 Qatar basically spreads its tentacles with money all over the West.

00:41:17.000 They own Heathrow Airport, they own gigantic sports conglomerates.

00:41:21.000 The president of PSG is Nasser Al Khalifa, who is also chairman of Be In Media Group, an international sports entertainment and media group operating in 40 countries.

00:41:32.000 He led Be In's acquisition of Miramax.

00:41:34.000 He is also a member of the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund.

00:41:39.000 Now, part of this is their sports washing strategy.

00:41:41.000 Again, the goal here is to create massive fan bases that are tied into the politics of Qatar, which is how you end up with the gigantic free Palestine flag unfurled at a PSG game ahead of a matchup against Israel in November of 2024. 0.59

00:41:59.000 That's what that looked like.

00:42:07.000 Again, you can see this is a gigantic, gigantic Free Palestine poster at the soccer game.

00:42:13.000 Again, this is all part and parcel of Qatar spreading its money everywhere.

00:42:16.000 Qatar does this because they want influence.

00:42:18.000 This is what Qatar does.

00:42:20.000 Qatar, of course, is basically a stand in for the Iranian government. 0.71

00:42:23.000 All of this nonsense about how Qatar is an ally of the United States, they're at best an erstwhile ally of the United States.

00:42:30.000 Now, again, all of this is just the prelude to the biggest problem, which is that the West decided to open its doors to legitimately tens of millions of people who despise the West. 0.62

00:42:40.000 29% of all immigrants in France are from Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.

00:42:45.000 The second biggest block of migrants who have arrived in France since 2011 are from sub Saharan countries in Africa.

00:42:52.000 Since 2011, 1.1 million Middle and Near Eastern migrants have arrived in France.

00:43:00.000 The Muslim population of France total has gone from 0.5% in 1985 to 7% in 2025.

00:43:06.000 It is the fastest growing population in France.

00:43:09.000 15% of the population of Paris is Muslim.

00:43:13.000 According to the French Institute of Opinion polls, Catholic identification has dropped from 83% in 1985 to 43% in 2025.

00:43:23.000 And political radicalization studies done of Muslim youths in Paris and Lyon between 2020 and 2021 found that youth became radicalized when they felt estranged from mainstream societal values and when they sensed dissatisfaction toward political institutions. 0.68

00:43:41.000 So, again, very, very radical, young.

00:43:43.000 Base of Muslims in France. 0.89

00:43:45.000 A 2025 survey published by the French Institute of Opinion Polls found that Islamism, like radical Islam, has won over one third of French Muslims.

00:43:54.000 38% endorsed radicalism.

00:43:56.000 They identified openly with the Muslim Brotherhood or other political Islam movements.

00:44:00.000 57% of respondents between the ages of 15 and 24 believe Sharia law trumps French laws.

00:44:06.000 So let's put it this way I do not think that the biggest problem that Europe is currently suffering from is their lack of quote unquote free speech standards as applied to everyone.

00:44:16.000 I think the biggest problem that they have is that they are not cracking down on people trying to enter their countries who hate their countries and their civilization.

00:44:21.000 That seems to me the biggest problem.

00:44:24.000 And meanwhile, they are cracking down on people who don't hate their civilization and wish to uphold it.

00:44:28.000 All of this means, whether we're talking about what's going on in Maine, what's going on in New Jersey, what's going on in England and France, all of this means that decline is a choice.

00:44:40.000 Well, California has some choices to make.

00:44:43.000 There's a mayoral election that is taking place this week. 0.99

00:44:46.000 Right now, Karen Bass remains the overwhelming favorite in the Calci markets.

00:44:50.000 They're our friends and partners over here, our sponsors.

00:44:54.000 According to the Calci markets, 62% of people believe that Karen Bass is going to end up winning.

00:45:02.000 27% believe Spencer Pratt, who is now elevated above Nithya Raman.

00:45:07.000 Now, if she does not get 50%, then of course, this thing moves into a runoff.

00:45:13.000 So it'll be interesting to see how this breaks down. 0.99

00:45:15.000 The fact that Karen Bass has presided over the massive decline of LA.

00:45:20.000 Yeah, listen, I left LA.

00:45:21.000 I left LA for a reason.

00:45:23.000 I do not think that the voters, prove me wrong, LA, prove me wrong.

00:45:26.000 I think that the voters of LA don't have the brains to actually elect someone who is not a left wing radical.

00:45:33.000 Spencer Pratt has been running an incredibly viral campaign.

00:45:38.000 He put up a picture of homeless people outside of a ballot drop box, an official ballot drop box in LA.

00:45:45.000 This is what LA is now.

00:45:47.000 Every time I visit it, frankly, it looks worse.

00:45:50.000 Every so often, they'll clean it up because they're foreign dignitaries visiting, but it ain't great.

00:45:54.000 Nithya Raman, who is the third place finisher likely in these primaries, she has been defending tents near schools for years. 0.99

00:46:03.000 This is what politicians in LA do. 1.00

00:46:05.000 Here she was doing this in 2024. 0.97

00:46:09.000 Like, I don't think a kid's going to be safer because a tent is 500 feet away from a school.

00:46:13.000 You know, it's.

00:46:22.000 Again, tends to near the schools. 1.00

00:46:24.000 This is the kind of politics that she thinks wins. 1.00

00:46:26.000 Karen Bass is smarter than Nithya Raman. 0.99

00:46:28.000 She doesn't say the quiet part out loud, but then she does it.

00:46:32.000 Somebody set up a fake encampment outside Nithya Raman's home, basically making the point like, you seem to be totally fine with the homeless outside everybody else's home.

00:46:39.000 Why aren't you fine with it outside your home?

00:46:42.000 So I woke up this morning to a sound of commotion outside of my window, and I looked out the window and I realized that there were people setting up.

00:46:54.000 What was, I think, a fake encampment, like a homeless encampment outside of my house.

00:47:00.000 Multiple people gathered there filming it to make a shooting something with cameras and things like that outside of my house.

00:47:11.000 I have two little kids.

00:47:13.000 Yeah.

00:47:14.000 They didn't see it, luckily, this morning, but, you know, I'm, I feel badly that, that I'm even subjecting them to that at all.

00:47:23.000 But, but it, but it has definitely, this has gone far beyond.

00:47:29.000 Far beyond what I expected the campaign to be about.

00:47:34.000 I mean, yes, it is disturbing when not just fake encampments arrive outside your house.

00:47:38.000 It is disturbing when real encampments show up outside your house.

00:47:41.000 But again, if you're in any neighborhood in LA that is not up in the Hollywood Hills, that is happening outside your house.

00:47:46.000 It's one of the reasons we moved out of LA, is because when we were living in a fairly nice area called Valley Village in Los Angeles, when we were living over there, we had a pretty good house, a really nice house.

00:47:57.000 And we had a gate out in front of the house that we had to build, we had to make it opaque so people couldn't see in.

00:48:02.000 And every time we'd open that gate, there'd be a homeless person outside shooting up in the street, like right outside the house.

00:48:07.000 Could not walk around the neighborhood with my kids.

00:48:09.000 And that's when we were like, you know what?

00:48:10.000 Enough.

00:48:12.000 But why don't I trust the voters of LA? 1.00

00:48:14.000 Well, because people are stupid and people vote stupidly. 1.00

00:48:19.000 Here is one voter claiming that she is going to vote for Karen Bass because of black pride. 1.00

00:48:25.000 It's better to have an incompetent black mayor than a more competent white mayor. 1.00

00:48:31.000 Who do you want to win as mayor of LA? 1.00

00:48:33.000 Karen Bass. 1.00

00:48:34.000 And why Karen Bass?

00:48:37.000 Black Friday. 0.98

00:48:39.000 No.

00:48:39.000 Anything else?

00:48:41.000 Just that or some policies or something like that that you can share?

00:48:46.000 Nope.

00:48:47.000 Nope.

00:48:48.000 It's just the race.

00:48:49.000 Just the race.

00:48:51.000 Great stuff.

00:48:52.000 As I said, Spencer Pratt has been running a really excellent campaign because he understands the power of social media.

00:48:57.000 His campaign ads are really funny.

00:48:59.000 He's been using AI like nobody's business.

00:49:01.000 I mean, the future of Hollywood is moving in this direction.

00:49:04.000 I think the future of Hollywood.

00:49:05.000 By the way, huge weekend at the box office because of a horror film called Back Rooms and another one called Obsession, both of which are basically small scale films that are being filmed with real people without heavy use of AI.

00:49:18.000 But AI use in politics is going to get only more viral from here because it's extraordinarily cheap.

00:49:23.000 Well, Spencer Pratt cut an ad that is a spoof of Everything is Awesome from the Lego movie, but it's Everything is Awful.

00:49:30.000 Here we go.

00:49:35.000 Everything is Awful.

00:49:38.000 Everything is hell and you're part of the soon can't see a homeless guy beating up a cop and burning down Karen Bass with her, her helicopter over a burning Los Angeles waste.

00:49:49.000 We just named two awful things, stolen car, a burned down house.

00:49:53.000 You know what's awful everything?

00:49:57.000 Mom's in shock, hit the locks of camp of a very big people.

00:50:09.000 All this is just videos of things burning and homeless people stealing people's stuff and people crapping on the streets and actual dumpster fire.

00:50:17.000 Everything is awful with Karen Bass.

00:50:18.000 Happy Karen Bass.

00:50:23.000 The Hollywood Hills actually on fire with actual zombies walking in the street.

00:50:29.000 So things are great.

00:50:31.000 It's really funny.

00:50:32.000 It's really funny.

00:50:33.000 Again, I do not think that Spencer Pratt is going to win this race because I do not trust the people of LA to be smart enough to do that.

00:50:40.000 But good for him.

00:50:42.000 Good for him.

00:50:42.000 And it's going to change the way people do politics for sure.

00:50:46.000 His ads have been really good.

00:50:48.000 I mean, really extraordinarily good ads.

00:50:51.000 Okay, meanwhile.

00:50:52.000 The left continues to try to crack down on AI in the name of justice.
