00:00:37.820A man has been arrested in California for stealing and eating a severed human leg that he found on a train track.
00:00:45.200I'm not sure from where, but he came this way, and he walked all through here, and he was waving a person's leg.
00:00:51.520And he started chewing on it over there, and he was biting it, and then he was hitting it against the wall and everything.
00:00:57.780It was a typical Friday for the construction workers laying down concrete outside the Amtrak station in Wasco until they saw a horrifying sight.
00:04:30.360It is our greatest smelling candle yet.

00:04:46.680Speaking of gory things, there is a major case before the Supreme Court on abortion.
00:04:56.160Now, you know the court famously, a couple years ago, overruled Roe v. Wade, which had been this ridiculous case that pretended there was a right to an abortion in the Constitution.
00:05:05.680The Dobbs decision says, nope, no more.
00:05:09.980Since that time, there has been a major shift in the way abortion is performed in the U.S., which is that even five years ago, most abortions were surgical.
00:05:21.740Today, most abortions are the result of a pill.
00:05:25.180Women take a poison pill, usually mifepristone, and that poisons their child, and then the baby is killed and delivered.
00:05:36.720Initially, this drug was highly, highly regulated.
00:05:39.980The FDA has tried to deregulate that drug, and now a group of concerned doctors, the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the Hippocratic Oath, saying, first, do no harm.
00:05:54.680Obviously, abortionists first do a lot of harm.
00:05:57.960This group of pro-life doctors has come and brought a case against the FDA to try to regulate the abortion pill.
00:06:05.760So the order of what's happened here is that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in August that this abortion poison should not be distributed through the mail or prescribed via telemedicine.
00:06:19.460They're not even saying that it can't ever be prescribed, but that you can't just, like, go on Amazon and buy this abortion drug and kill your kid totally unregulated in your home.
00:06:28.020This drug is now used, and I think it's something like 60% of the abortions, and several studies have shown that this thing is harmful.
00:06:36.320Yeah, you don't say a woman takes a very powerful poison designed to kill the child growing inside of her.
00:06:42.940Yeah, that might have some side effects.
00:06:44.580There are several studies which show that.
00:06:45.940But curiously, all of those studies were retracted just a couple of months ago in February, years after these studies were published.
00:06:55.920They were all retracted, and that was due to a single review.
00:06:59.740That was due to a single reader complaint.
00:07:02.040It was obviously totally politically motivated and a reaction to the Dobbs decision and the way the abortion industry now works.
00:07:51.380The injury is that we are prevented from selling our product in line with FDA's scientific judgment about the safe and efficacious use of the drug.
00:08:00.040And you're going to be harmed because you're going to sell more.
00:08:02.400I think that certainly a company's ability to market its product is a part of how it considers the regulatory scheme that governs its conduct.
00:08:30.260There is no drug on the market today under any REMS that requires the kind of reporting that the plaintiffs are saying should be reimposed here.
00:08:40.220Wouldn't your company, I mean, you don't want to sell a product that causes very serious harm to the people who take your product relying on your tests and the FDA's tests.
00:09:07.320But that's not what this case is about.
00:09:08.860It's simply about whether or not this thing can just be, you know, mailed out willy-nilly anywhere in the country, prescribed via telemedicine.
00:09:18.340You know, some kind of joke consultation.
00:09:30.320It's about regulating that sort of thing.
00:09:31.980And so what Alito does here is really lovely in that, one, he points out just how horrific this industry is.
00:09:40.980He goes, well, the harm you fear by greater regulation is that you're not going to be able to poison as many kids because your product, your business grows if you poison more kids.
00:09:53.500So what you're saying is this is a great new market opportunity.
00:09:57.000You're going to be able to poison way more kids if you can prescribe this via telemedicine or send it out in the mail.
00:10:04.660And so that would be a harm that would be imposed by greater restriction.
00:10:07.820But you don't want to harm the women here, do you?
00:23:34.300It wasn't my most ambitious Nolstradamus prediction.
00:23:37.580But Ronna McDaniel, who had been hired after leaving the Republican National Committee, hired by NBC as a political commentator, she has been fired after two days.
00:23:50.300According to NBC Universal News Group chairman, Cesar Conde, quote,
00:23:56.140No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned.
00:24:02.360Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.
00:24:06.380I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down.
00:24:11.000While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it.
00:24:19.120We played one little clip from Meet the Press and Chuck Todd yesterday, but it was basically all the hosts on MSNBC and NBC coming out on Ronna McDaniel's first day on the job to say that the former head of the RNC is not welcome at NBC News.
00:24:40.680The fact that Ms. McDaniel is on the payroll at NBC News, to me, that is inexplicable.
00:24:48.040I have some thoughts about Ronna McDaniel and the normalization of the dangerous damned lies from the Republican Party.
00:24:55.440She is a co-conspirator and an enabler.
00:30:16.200There was this provision of federal communications law that was slightly changed under the Trump administration.
00:30:26.400And they called it the repeal of net neutrality, which just, it just changed the way that internet service providers were regulated to some degree.
00:30:33.080And we were told at that time that that would destroy the internet.
00:30:38.480We were told that you would now have to pay for every tweet that you posted.
00:30:43.200We were told that people would die by prominent left-wing public figures.
00:30:49.980People would die because of net neutrality repeal.
00:31:07.580Especially for eight years now or something like that.
00:31:10.340So, when AOC comes out and says, he ordered a terror attack, nobody believes it.
00:31:15.380The host of the liberal program doesn't believe it.
00:31:17.480Nobody seriously thinks of it as a terror attack.
00:31:19.820And fewer people even think of January 6th as an insurrection or a riot.
00:31:29.500And this is not just my own gut feeling here.
00:31:33.540This is borne out in surveys on the matter.
00:31:35.860When you surveyed people in 2021, was January 6th terrible, awful, deadly, a terror attack, a coup d'etat, an insurrection, a significant portion, especially if Democrats said yes, that same survey last year, so two years afterward, every group, including the Democrats, fewer people were likely to believe the January 6th narrative.
00:32:13.440This is virtually every survey on the subject.
00:32:17.000People think, most people think, and think correctly, that the prosecutions of Trump are just politically motivated.
00:32:23.440The fact that he's being threatened with 700 years in prison, the Democrats think that's going to convince the American people that this guy's really bad.
00:32:31.860If it were just 600 years in prison, we might say 50-50 that he's guilty.
00:32:40.780The fact that he's being prosecuted in four different places for totally unrelated quote-unquote crimes and having a civil judgment levied against him and now being accused of a terror attack.
00:32:51.260And every day they insinuate that he's super-duper mega-Hitler 3.0.
00:32:55.160It has the effect of undermining their argument, especially when they come out and they say, yeah, also, the other Republicans can't come on our TV networks too.
00:33:05.340Also, Ronna McDaniel, a perfectly amiable, relatively establishment Republican figure, she can't speak on these matters either.
00:33:14.420Oh, so your problem is just that sometimes the Republicans have won.
00:33:19.240Trump is being prosecuted for winning in 2016.
00:33:22.220And other conservatives around the country are being investigated and in some cases prosecuted for ever succeeding at anything in public life.
00:33:34.260Now, AOC, I think it's fair to say, suffers from something of at least an educational deficit, if not an intellectual, at least an educational deficit.
00:33:47.220And speaking of educational deficits, there is a big story going viral from Barry Weiss's outlet.
00:34:18.620I'm just going to read a very little bit of it because I really want to love this article.
00:34:23.180And I'm generally happy about the phenomenon that it's describing.
00:34:26.320But ironically, an article talking about the rise of classical education is actually showing us just how difficult it will be to reform education.
00:34:39.020Menlo Park, California, on a rainy evening last January, a group of girls in long pleated skirts and boys in jackets and ties were sitting around a mahogany table in an old house discussing Homer's Iliad.
00:34:47.620It was Parents' Night at Chesterton Academy of St. James, a private school in Silicon Valley, a fertile crescent of innovation.
00:34:55.320Students were free to argue anything, about the text at least, as long as it was well-reasoned.
00:34:59.480And as a 21-year-old, now the writer's talking about herself, as a 21-year-old who was taught what to think, not how to think, at my supposedly top-tier private school in Los Angeles, it felt liberating.
00:35:11.640Lily was being trained in what parents and educators across the country are calling classical education, teaching kids to think critically in master-old books, which are often written by dead white males in the past.
00:35:21.140This used to just be called education.
00:35:22.500Okay, it goes on for a long time, but this is the point that's unfortunate.
00:35:26.360She says, well, I love this classical education because it doesn't teach students what to think.
00:35:53.240So, ironically, it's modern liberal education which purports not to teach students what to think, only how to think.
00:36:00.280But that's not possible because you can't know how to think about mathematics without knowing that 2 plus 2 equals 4.
00:36:05.840You can't know how to think about the development of nation states without learning that the Treaty of Augsburg was signed, and then the Peace of Westphalia was signed.
00:36:16.400You have to learn stuff with dates and facts that you can get wrong, where it's not just all open to interpretation and opinion.
00:36:23.340So, the nice thing here is that people are yearning for a classical education.
00:36:30.100They realize that modern education, I mean, this dumb phrase, we've got to teach students how to think, not what to think.
00:36:35.440That is a line from the cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead in the 20th century.
00:36:47.820But while we love this longing for the classical education, people realize something's going wrong.
00:36:55.540What's so distressing here is even the proponents of classical education don't know what it is.
00:37:02.640And that is because when a thing goes extinct, it is very, very difficult to revive that thing.
00:37:16.140And we ought to be a lot more careful about preserving things from extinction.
00:37:21.240Because we think, oh, well, we'll reanimate it years in the future.
00:37:24.660Oh, yeah, the woolly mammoth went extinct.
00:37:26.540Well, we're going to reanimate it now all these many years on.
00:37:30.140And, well, there's a problem with that because even if you did create a woolly mammoth in a laboratory, you wouldn't know how to teach it to be a woolly mammoth.
00:38:01.800Like Duke, you know, is the root there.
00:38:04.540It's about leading people out of ignorance.
00:38:06.980It's a relationship that's really a relationship of love between a teacher and a student to cultivate desires to learn, to immerse oneself in the greatest that one's culture has to offer.
00:38:20.900And the libs have largely succeeded at killing that.
00:38:23.120I'm not saying it's a totally impossible effort to revive that, but it's going to be a huge uphill battle.
00:38:30.300It's going to be such an uphill battle that even the greatest defenders of classical education around today are still operating from within the context of a liberal pedagogy.
00:38:41.820Now, Russia has been making the headlines in recent weeks due to the actions of Vladimir Putin.
00:38:48.340To comprehend Putin's motivations, we must examine the historical context that shaped his behaviors.
00:38:54.280In the new season of what we saw at Empire of Terror, host Bill Whittle unmasks communism by taking a closer look at the history of the Soviet Union.
00:39:02.740This tale of terror offers a compelling presentation of the horrors that plagued the Soviet Union and the viciousness of its leaders.
00:39:08.860The reality is modern-day Russia has been centuries in the making.
00:39:13.080This series will give you a better understanding of its history as well as the communism that threatens our own homeland.
00:39:18.200Inside Episode 4, streaming now on Daily Wire Plus, Bill Whittle uncovers the horrors committed by Lenin and his Bolsheviks immediately after the successful revolution.

00:39:29.600My favorite comment yesterday is from Rockman7503, who says,
00:39:34.360Yes, Dr. King's most famous inspirational quote, we are coming to get our check.
00:39:54.040Different people wrote different speeches of Martin Luther King.
00:39:56.720And sometimes he was a little bit more commie and demanding than at other times he sounded more Christian and, you know, spiritual than purely material.
00:40:09.200But I don't remember the line, we're coming to get our check.
00:40:12.540If so, man, the libs have really gone far afield there.
00:40:16.260Forget about I have a dream and whatever.
00:42:36.680They voted for him because he was the first black president.
00:42:40.160That's the main reason that people voted for him.
00:42:42.940They voted for him in 2008 to prove that America's not racist.
00:42:46.540And they reelected him in 2012 for much the same reason.
00:42:49.720Because had they rejected the first black president, that would make America even more racist than we were, perhaps, before we elected him in the first place.
00:42:57.460That's the main reason Obama got elected.
00:42:59.520Again, I think that's a dumb reason to vote for someone.
00:43:35.600So that's why they were the moderate Democrats.
00:43:39.480And by 2008, people didn't want moderation on the progressive side.
00:43:43.880They wanted a more full-throated progressivism.
00:43:46.760And that's why Howard Dean became the head of the Democratic National Committee.
00:43:51.260And until he started screeching on the campaign trail, he actually was doing a decent job of winning a nomination himself as a Democrat for president.
00:44:07.240The libs don't understand why Donald Trump was elected because they don't understand what really motivates conservatives.
00:44:15.280They've just been told their whole lives that conservatives are motivated by hatred for other races and hatred of women and hatred of this and that and hatred.
00:44:26.800And I guess that's an okay campaign line.
00:44:30.180And if the liberals dominate the entire culture and you're a liberal voter, then you never really have to confront any alternative to that.
00:44:38.100But if you're a conservative, you do because you don't control any of the institutions.
00:44:41.360So you have to know what the liberals think because they tell you 24 hours a day and your view is not.
00:44:48.260So ironically here, it is the liberal hegemony, the liberal political hegemony in virtually every institution in America that is threatening democracy.
00:44:59.660It's Claire McCaskill, far more than Donald Trump or Ronna McDaniel.
00:45:03.200It's Claire McCaskill and AOC who are threatening our supposedly sacred democracy.
00:45:09.640Now, speaking of candidates in our sacred democracy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running as a third-party candidate, he has just picked his vice president.
00:45:21.300And I'm not going to say I told you so.
00:47:37.240And the Kennedy ticket, the Kennedy name being royalty in the Democratic Party, and the Kennedy ticket, especially with this woman, that's pulling votes from Biden.
