00:00:34.000We have a lot to go over, including creepy Cuomo hanging on to power, defiant in the face of prestigious Democrats calling for his resignation or impeachment, and yet he's clinging on still more news out of California.
00:00:49.000The recall of Gavin Newsom marches on.
00:00:52.000Things are looking up for our friend Larry Elder, and I have the information as to why a really important trend happening in the electorate in the United States is playing out front and center in California.
00:01:27.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:04:40.000You feel like you are retaining that knowledge and you have a better understanding of what's happening in America.
00:05:16.000I'm broadcasting from California, which has had similar issues, and it is a shadow of its once great self.
00:05:26.000Nevertheless, it seems like the themes of today is that Cuomo is somehow clinging to life barely after a slew of top Democrat officials have come out against him,
00:05:43.000calling for his resignation, which is a fairly dramatic turn of events for the once darling of the Democrat Party, the man that they lifted up, they being the media establishment, the left, lifted up as the counterweight to President Trump.
00:06:03.000He has fallen in a spectacular fashion.
00:06:07.000The New Yorker, this is the New Yorker's headline.
00:06:20.000And yet, which is tremendous, which is a tremendous thing for the New Yorker to say.
00:06:24.000I mean, he has become, and may this be a lesson to all of you out there, from sea to shining sea and everywhere in between, the blessed flyover country, that when you become expendable in politics, do not be surprised when your friends turn on you.
00:06:51.000So many shoes have dropped in the Andro Cuomo sexual harassment saga that the governor could open a floor shine outlet on I-90.
00:07:00.000And each time, as each allegation piled up and each Democrat official called on him to resign, dozens of members of the state legislature, state Senate majority leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, most of the state's congressional delegation, U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Mayor Bill de Blasio.
00:07:20.000It surely seemed like the end of Cuomo's long reign.
00:08:04.000And then you ask for the Attorney General Letitia James to look into the allegations, standing with whatever remaining elected officials will stand next to you.
00:08:13.000And you said, we will get through this.
00:08:16.000I am being misrepresented by the media and by these accusers.
00:08:22.000Governor Ralph Northam's instance, you just say, well, I don't know if I were blackface or the KKK hood.
00:08:29.000So this interesting dynamic where the Democrat Party has lost its utility with the good governor from New York.
00:08:40.000And so he is now expendable and they are throwing him overboard.
00:08:44.000But he is fighting for his political life and he's not going to give in overnight.
00:08:58.000That gives Cuomo every single piece of evidence he needs to suggest that he will survive this if only he sticks to the script and waits it out.
00:09:42.000So what we are seeing is a massive, massive dynamic playing out that has been playing out really for the last four or five years, and that is Democrat privilege.
00:09:53.000If you are a Democrat and you commit the most heinous of acts, and let's be honest, sexual assault is not limited, sexual harassment is not limited to the Democrat Party.
00:10:09.000You will be allowed to survive if you have Democrat privilege.
00:10:15.000If the shoe was on the other foot, can you just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot?
00:10:20.000A Republican would have been forced out of office by the end of the day.
00:10:24.000That would have been completely the case.
00:10:27.000The Republican would have been forced out of office, and that is everything you need to know about the way that the system works and why Americans are losing their faith in the institutions that we so long have trusted and believed in.
00:10:42.000Now, how this story is connected to the larger media narrative is truly, I think it's really profound.
00:10:50.000So you might think that this Governor Cuomo story is just sort of an isolated case over here.
00:10:56.000But what it actually is indicative of is this larger distrust, this movement of distrust against our institutions, where not just conservatives, but independents, free thinkers, immigrants, minority groups are losing trust in the institutions that have governed and guided us for generations.
00:12:08.000Now, I'm not saying that I don't care about the victims and what happened.
00:12:13.000What I'm simply suggesting is that Governor Cuomo should have been removed for his COVID policies, which killed thousands, especially in senior of senior citizens through negligent policymaking.
00:12:33.000And by the way, this exposes another thing that Governor Cuomo has been guilty of.
00:12:38.000He tried to cover up what he did to senior citizens.
00:12:42.000And then secondly, what we've seen in the sexual harassment scandal is he tried to cover up and besmirch his accusers.
00:12:55.000It's also incredibly creepy and troubling that the governor of one of the largest, most influential states in the country has behaved so poorly.
00:13:06.000And yet he had his friends in the media, like his brother, defending every move, consulting, helping, giving him cover fire on the nightly news, and lifting him up as some darling that was going to save the nation from the great Donald Trump.

00:14:41.000The report this morning out of CNN saying that 93% of new COVID cases in the United States, of which they say there's like 80,000 new cases of COVID, they say that 93% is attributed to the death or to the Delta variant of coronavirus.
00:15:04.000Now, I've seen a lot of people, they've sent me links, they're sending me this, that.
00:15:08.000They're saying that that's impossible to know because there's no way to test.
00:15:13.000The PCR test does not know how to distinguish between which variant of COVID you may or may not have.
00:15:21.000Well, that is true, but I do happen to think that based on modeling and some of the statistics that researchers are using, that it is likely that this new variant is probably the breakthrough variant.
00:15:38.000So, if Delta had you worried about shutdowns, uh, well, I've got news for you.
00:15:45.000Now, we've got the Lambda variant, and I've warned about this too, by the way, when I've guested for Charlie.
00:15:51.000I think this is an epsilon variant that they're observing.
00:15:54.000Lambda COVID variant behind 1,000 cases in the U.S. shows vaccine resistance.
00:16:01.000The Lambda variant of COVID-19 may be more resistant to vaccines, and his highly infectious researchers at Japan's University of Tokyo have warned in a new scientific paper published on July 28th.
00:16:16.000So, you know, according to doctors that I know, it's basically, you know, take it with a grain of salt, but it's still interesting as far as the finding goes.
00:16:25.000Like the Delta variant, Lambda is highly transmissible, but Japanese researchers believe that three mutations in the variant spike protein make it more resistant to antibodies induced by vaccination.
00:16:38.000So, this was trending on Twitter this morning, and I was like, Lambda, oh gosh, here we go.
00:16:44.000So, now it's eclipsed a thousand cases, a thousand thirty-seven cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. Again, I don't know how they are testing for this.
00:16:52.000Likely, if it is at a thousand cases, it's probably much more because the testing for these variants is rather involved.
00:17:01.000So, this variant was first identified in Peru in August of 2020, where it has now become the dominant strain of the virus, and it has been reported in 29 countries, including the U.S.
00:17:14.000So, I gave my friend Aaron Ginn a call this morning just to get some intel from him saying, you know what, you know, if they can't test for this stuff, you know, do you believe that 93% is right on the Delta variant?
00:17:28.000He seems to be convinced that it's probably accurate.
00:17:32.000Now, you know, whether it is or isn't, his main point, and Aaron Ginn is a guy that wrote about the alarmism, COVID alarmism in May, or is that actually March of 2020?
00:17:49.000And he wrote it on his Medium page, and they took it down after the thing went viral.
00:17:55.000And then the Wall Street Journal gave him a platform and let him write about it.
00:18:00.000But the point he's making to me, and I think it's important to share with all of you, is that Delta does not seem to be increasing the death rates.
00:18:59.000It tells you that all of this messaging from the White House, from the mainstream news media, has changed public perception in a blink.
00:19:10.000That's why people like those of us that work on this show, people like you listening, need to be active, need to be passionate, and need to start pushing back with actual facts.
00:19:21.000And the facts are that Delta, while it's more transmissible, does not appear to be more deadly.
00:19:27.000We are talking about the Delta variant.
00:19:30.000We're talking about specifically the alarmism surrounding this.
00:19:35.000And I want to take you to a Daily Mail article here.
00:19:38.000It says, Mask-Free Sweden is close to zero daily COVID deaths as the country's chief epidemiologist plays down fears over Deltavarius infectiousness.
00:19:50.000In the last 14 days, Sweden recorded an average of less than one COVID death per day, 0.6.
00:19:57.000So they've been averaging 0.6 deaths per day, which compares with 74 deaths in the UK and 329 deaths per day in the U.S. over that same period.
00:20:07.000And Sweden dropped its last remaining mask rule for public transport on July 1st.
00:20:14.000Nevertheless, in the UK and the U.S., they're going to be unleashing further mask mandates.
00:20:21.000The public sentiment has shifted dramatically.
00:20:24.000So, again, folks, know your facts, know that it may be more infectious, it may be more contagious, but we actually don't really know that as well.
00:20:35.000But, nevertheless, what we're seeing is that it's not more deadly, at least not significantly so.
00:21:04.000He's talking about what we've been doing in the United States, where we've been comparing the Delta virus in terms of contagiousness to that of chickenpox.
00:21:15.000And Dr. Technell is saying, Hey, wait a second, we know chickenpox really, really well.
00:21:21.000We know exactly how infectious this is.
00:21:24.000And by the way, as an aside, when we're talking about chickenpox, there used to be something they call chickenpox parties.
00:21:32.000One kid would get chickenpox, and all the kids in the neighborhood would come around, they'd play, and they'd get it out of the way, and everybody get chickenpox and move on because you only get it once.
00:21:44.000Nevertheless, here we are: vaccines for everything mandated, and people are calling it a public good.
00:21:52.000Now, I want to take you from that to another insight that I think is really interesting.
00:21:59.000So, again, I was talking to Eric Ginn this morning, trying to make sense of all this because he's a statistician who pays particularly close attention to all this.
00:22:10.000He's basically saying that this is seasonal.
00:23:21.000Like, if you go to Turning Point USA headquarters, everybody's got blankets on when they're sitting at their desk because it's so cold inside.
00:23:28.000Because if you don't have it cranked, you lose it.
00:23:34.000You lose the AC instantly, and it's tough to get it back.
00:27:56.000But I want to turn our attention to the left coast, where I am broadcasting out of today.
00:28:03.000So, Charlie touched on this yesterday during the show.
00:28:05.000It's about the Emerson College polling that came out that it sent shockwaves, folks.
00:28:12.000Now, if you're in California politics, it sent shockwaves because what it basically illuminated to the prognosticators and the punditry class in California, which is so often fixated,
00:28:28.000by the way, on national politics that some of the local political trends get missed, is that one is within the statistical margin of error that Gavin Newsom will get recalled.
00:28:46.000So, to refresh your memory, Gavin Newsome, when we do our balloting here in California, 50% plus one vote is all it takes.
00:28:56.00050% plus one vote is all it takes to trigger the recall.
00:29:03.000And then the person that wins only needs to win a plurality of the vote.
00:30:38.000So they are slightly in favor of keeping Gavin Newsome.
00:30:42.000But here is the weirdest part about it.
00:30:46.000Now, there's two things that should be really encouraging for Republicans in the state of California.
00:30:51.000One of the biggest movers of this Emerson poll was crime.
00:30:55.000It got a 6% increase in those who were polled.
00:30:58.000It said crime was their number one issue.
00:31:01.000That bodes well for law and order Republicans.
00:31:04.000And here's the kicker: Latinos support the recall.
00:31:09.000I'll say it again: Latinos in California support recalling Governor Gavin Newsom.
00:31:17.000From critical race theory in your children's classroom to policy changes under the current administration, you need to know what's happening from a news source you can trust.
00:31:27.000Unfortunately, most media outlets opt for shameless virtue signaling and state propaganda in lieu of the truth.
00:31:35.000It's an insult to your intelligence, which is why my good friends, great people, at the Daily Wire are providing an alternative.
00:31:42.000From the Daily Wire newsroom comes Morning Wire, a daily morning news podcast that gives you the facts you need to know first.
00:31:51.000Brought to you by Daily Wire, editor-in-chief, John Bickley, and co-host Georgia Howe.

00:32:21.000Each episode will be short with only enough room to fit the facts so you can be sure your breakfast isn't being served with a side of somebody else's agenda.
00:32:31.000Seriously, go subscribe as soon as you can.
00:32:33.000The Daily Wire is now launching the Morning Wire.
00:32:42.000Larry Elder has a real chance of winning the recall election.
00:32:46.000I mean, I will tell you, before he announced, it was like in California, everybody was kind of like, eh, I don't know, we're losing steam, like lockdowns have gone away.
00:32:53.000That was a real animating element of why Gavin Newsom got recalled.
00:33:53.000But surprise, surprise, the biggest reason why is that Hispanics, that's right, Hispanics are the only racial group in favor of the recall.
00:34:04.000Now, I'm going to tell you a little story.
00:34:07.000And I don't mean for this to sound patronizing or anything of the sort.
00:34:11.000I have a project that I was working on, a construction project.
00:34:35.000Now, those of you who've listened to me, guest host this show, know that I have basically zero tolerance for illegal immigration.
00:34:41.000It is my, probably my top two issue of what I think is wrong, because I think lawlessness at the border leads to lawlessness in the interior, leads to a breakdown of law and order.
00:35:00.000That doesn't mean I don't like individual Hispanics, right?
00:35:04.000I'm not like one of these crazy racist leftists that believe in racial essentialism or race essentialism, which everything is defined by race.
00:37:56.00095% of Americans live in the fiber gap.
00:38:00.000Over nine in 10 are deficient in fiber.
00:38:03.000Fiber is one of the most well-studied nutrients of all time and is a bona fide superfood for most people.
00:38:10.000Until Uprising came along, it was nearly impossible to get all the fiber each day because it's literally impractical, completely impractical, to hit 30 grams each day.
00:38:19.000You have to have two full heads of broccoli, okay?
00:38:21.000These people made it simple to enjoy and hit your high fiber numbers.
00:38:25.000You want to push back against big pharma?
00:40:19.000And I'm really, I'm so fascinated by this because I'm going to start this segment by playing a clip from Newt Gingrich this morning on Fox business.
00:40:37.000So I saw that he was trending on Twitter, and I knew that I really wanted to speak about immigration.
00:40:43.000I want to talk about this Hispanic vote, the trends that are happening.
00:40:46.000And then he's trending on Twitter because he is the quote-unquote newest person to go on Fox and talk about replacement theory.
00:40:54.000Let's talk about that after we play this clip, but go ahead and play cut and we'll discuss.
00:40:59.000Is that the anti-American left would love to drown traditional classic Americans with as many people as they can who know nothing of American history, nothing of American tradition, nothing of the rule of law.
00:41:14.000And I think that when you go and you look at the radical left, this is their ideal model is to get rid of the rest of us because we believe in George Washington or we believe in the Constitution.
00:41:27.000And you see this behavior over and over again.
00:41:39.000If you say those words, that is, then you're instantly lumped into this replacement theory, which is considered a fringe ideological conspiracy theory.
00:41:49.000And it's supposed to be hateful and racist and xenophobic and all of these things.
00:41:53.000The problem is, and we touched on this in a previous episode, previous show, is that it has the unfortunate fact that it tends to be true.
00:42:05.000And the Democrats talk about this, how they celebrate the demographic change.
00:42:09.000They celebrate how Texas is going to turn blue, in their opinion, which I actually don't think is going to happen.
00:42:17.000But they celebrate that because they think that this demographic replacement is actually going to usher in this single party rule of Democrats from coast to coast leading the nation.
00:42:31.000That if you have a predominantly brown population, they are just going to vote Democrat.
00:43:06.000Illegal immigration was surging, especially through San Diego.
00:43:10.000I mean, the stories that you hear out of San Diego from this time are just, they're sort of mind-blowing.
00:43:16.000And they are mind-blowing only until you think about what we have going on now, which is very similar.
00:43:22.000People just walking across the border.
00:43:23.000We've got, you know, people in these tents that have been set up in McAllen, Texas, and thousands of immigrants under bridges.
00:43:31.000They know they're just going to be walked in and then bust out or shipped out or flown out into the interior, never to return again.
00:43:38.000Now, what they had in the 90s was not dissimilar.
00:43:40.000People, apparently, when the light, when the sun would go down, all of these migrants would wait on the Mexican side of the border, and they're illegals.
00:43:48.000Let's not use the euphemisms of the left.
00:44:03.000And the stories that you hear from the early 90s was just thousands every night.
00:44:07.000There were people with like juice stands and you know, almost like a fair-like atmosphere because they're feeding these illegals as they would cross over.
00:44:15.000This became a rallying cry in the state in the 90s.
00:44:19.000Now, you got to remember: the state voted for George H.W.
00:44:23.000It voted for Reagan, obviously, in the 80s.
00:44:25.000This is the state of Nixon and the Reagan Library and President Reagan, obviously.
00:44:30.000It was sort of reliably read and at the very worst, purple.
00:44:36.000The change with Prop 187 is that there was basically an effort to make it illegal for illegal immigrants to use public services.
00:44:50.000It was anything from schools to the health care, non-emergency health care.
00:45:00.000It basically touched on nearly everything.
00:45:02.000If you were illegal, you were not able to use public services from the taxpayers.
00:47:14.000Now, if you are Hispanic immigrant, maybe you're second generation, maybe you've climbed into the middle class in America, and you see the lawlessness, the chaos of the left, not to mention the fact that they're pro-abortion, that they tend to be advocates for dismantling traditional ideas about the family and gender and faith.
00:47:37.000So not only do you have a predominantly Catholic group that's saying, okay, well, at least you had my back with the prop 187 days, but you're, you know, and so I'm going to overlook some of these social issues because, you know, GOP is racist.
00:47:51.000Well, all of a sudden, you got the Democrats who are standing in way of common sense reform to stop crime, to stop homelessness.
00:47:58.000They make it harder to do business, harder to thrive.
00:48:00.000And the very things that they look to America as this beacon on the hill of law and order, of safety, of security, of a distinct change in culture from what was south of the border where it was lawlessness and crime and danger and no jobs.
00:48:17.000All of a sudden, they realize that all this is coming together.
00:48:20.000A generation later, the party that they used to be so enamored by is turning their back on them and taking them for granted.
00:48:44.000Okay, so you got Newt Gingrich trending on Twitter because he's spouting off about replacement ideology, which is, you know, fringe conspiracy theorists for far-right trolls on the internet.
00:49:00.000No, actually, Democrats have admitted that they are pro-demographic replacement.
00:49:05.000Why does any of this surprise us when we have things like CRT raging throughout our institutions, especially our schools, that are essentially anti-white, racialized Marxism?
00:49:15.000Why should we be surprised that there's such a strong anti-white sentiment within the Democrat community that they are cheering, and they have been for years, by the way.
00:49:23.000We're just sort of finally, we call it the great awakening of America to the wokeness.
00:49:31.000So we are becoming awake to the wokeness.
00:49:35.000So we're not, this is not replacement, some fringe thing.
00:49:38.000I mean, they're just really proud about it.
00:49:57.000I think there's good immigrants and then there are not so good immigrants.
00:50:01.000And I think illegal immigration is an absolute travesty.
00:50:04.000Nevertheless, the sweet irony of all of this, and we saw this recently with the Cuban crisis that has erupted, that the Democrats are very happy to take future Democrat voters or who they think are going to be Democrat voters from the Northern Triangle.
00:50:22.000This is Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, from Mexico.
00:50:28.000They're very happy to take those immigrants.
00:50:32.000And they're very happy to basically make claims that the border is totally under control when it's not because actually they're playing a long game.
00:50:40.000And they call that replacement theory or ideology.
00:51:16.000The state GOP's comeback runs through Latino communities.
00:51:20.000What's really interesting about this is that they are specifically highlighting Mexican-American communities in Los Angeles County, in Orange County, in Ventura County, the types of people that helped push Mike Garcia over the finish line, Michelle Steele, Young Kim, and others.
