Just when you thought the news out of Washington could not get any worse,
00:00:03.500
I am going to send a chill down your spine with three simple words.
00:00:15.060
It is not just coming from the fevered nightmares of conservatives.
00:00:19.080
It is actually being predicted by the sitting president.
00:00:23.180
I can say as much as I want from the time my two daughters were born
00:00:30.700
It's one thing for somebody to say that and keep pounding that in the head
00:00:37.180
Until they see it, until they watch, it becomes real then.
00:00:42.000
That's why, by the way, she happens to be in Asia for me right now,
00:00:46.220
but that's why we have a female vice president of the United States of America
00:00:50.100
who's going to be, we're going to have some presidents pretty soon.
00:00:53.400
We're going to have some presidents pretty soon.
00:00:57.260
I think Joe Biden meant to say we're going to have female presidents pretty soon.
00:01:02.600
Does Joe Biden know something that we don't know?
00:01:07.240
Biden apparently does not know how many Americans are stranded in Afghanistan.
00:01:11.520
He doesn't know how much of our military equipment the Taliban now owns.
00:01:14.820
He doesn't know exactly who we're flying into America from the most violent country on Earth.
00:01:20.840
In fact, the only thing that we seem to know for certain right now about our politics
00:01:25.020
is that things are likely going to get much, much worse.
00:01:39.300
I saw my favorite comment yesterday from Ryan Weiss, who says,
00:01:41.840
when Michael was talking about the woman on Twitter crying about cutting her son out of her life
00:01:46.060
because he voted for Trump, my first thought was, I didn't know my mom was on Twitter.
00:01:52.020
I mentioned this yesterday about a woman crying as she couldn't speak to her own son anymore,
00:01:57.140
her beloved son, just because he voted for the other political party.
00:02:04.520
But then I had a number of people write into me saying that this described their families too.
00:02:12.260
I just want some relief from all this crazy tension.
00:02:20.540
I often feel nauseated reading the news these days.
00:02:23.380
But you can be nauseated also by, I don't know, morning sickness.
00:02:34.740
It's the number one FDA cleared anti-nausea wristband.
00:02:38.080
It's been clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting
00:02:44.180
Anxiety, chemotherapy, right down to the regular old hangover.
00:02:48.140
The product is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy, and provides all natural long-lasting relief
00:02:57.400
So it stimulates this nerve that travels to the part of the brain that controls nausea.
00:03:01.140
It's incredible technology developed for use in hospitals.
00:03:03.660
If you've ever tried a cheap imitator, don't forget about that.
00:03:10.700

00:03:26.180
Joe Biden says, pretty soon, we're going to have some presidents pretty soon.
00:03:37.280
Not just having a first woman president, but just having any president at all.
00:03:40.700
Because it seems that the guy who ostensibly is in the job right now is asleep at the wheel.
00:03:45.680
It has been days and days and days since the Taliban took down Kabul, took down the Afghan
00:03:50.200
government within 11 days of us really beginning to pull out.
00:03:53.760
And the question remains, how many Americans are trapped there in Afghanistan?
00:04:02.760
The problem is he doesn't answer any questions from the press.
00:04:06.880
How many, hey, I know you're, you're just trying to tell us all to wear the masks and stuff and get
00:04:17.960
the jab, but what about all the thousands of Americans in Afghanistan? And you know what
00:04:22.660
often will happen? So Biden is just bolting after he gives his statements. He just bolts these days
00:04:27.520
because he can't answer any of the questions. But what has happened in the past with Biden is he'll
00:04:32.780
give his statement. He doesn't want to take questions from the press. He starts to bolt and
00:04:36.620
then he'll hear a question and he'll realize, oh, this is going to make me look weak. And he'll stop
00:04:40.040
and he'll turn around. He's done this multiple times in front of the White House. He can't do that
00:04:43.940
here. Not only because he knows that this is extremely politically damaging for him,
00:04:49.460
the Afghanistan debacle, but also because he just doesn't know. No, no one seems to know
00:04:56.640
how many Americans there are in Afghanistan. Initially we were told, you know, a few thousand,
00:05:02.760
then it became more like five or seven thousand. And we were told it's as many as 10 or even 15,000,
00:05:07.800
but we're not being given the number. And now Jen Psaki spokeswoman at the White House is saying that
00:05:16.240
there are no Americans stranded in Afghanistan. Does the president have a sense that most of the
00:05:21.920
criticism is not of leaving Afghanistan? It's the way that he has ordered it to happen
00:05:28.280
by pulling the troops before getting these Americans who are now stranded. Does he have a
00:05:33.680
sense of that? First of all, I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded.
00:05:37.140
They are not. We are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home, home. We are in touch with
00:05:41.740
them via phone, via text, via email, via any way that we can possibly reach Americans to get them
00:05:48.000
home if they want to return home. There are no Americans stranded is the White House's official
00:05:53.040
position on what's happening in Afghanistan. I'm just calling you out for saying that we are
00:05:57.580
stranding Americans in Afghanistan. When I said, when we have been very clear that we are not leaving
00:06:03.280
Americans who want to return home, we are going to bring them home. Now, this is a very clever trick.
00:06:08.740
It's, it's not all that clever because it's so transparent, but it's, it's at least clever in theory.
00:06:15.460
Jen Psaki is being asked a question by Peter Doocy, one of the last reporters left in America.
00:06:21.320
And the question is, what about these Americans who are stranded in Afghanistan? And Jen Psaki says,
00:06:31.120
we are not going to strand any Americans in Afghanistan. You see that he's saying in the
00:06:38.060
present tense, what about the Americans currently right now, undeniably stranded in Afghanistan?
00:06:43.820
And she says, no, no, there will not be anyone ultimately who is stranded in Afghanistan.
00:06:50.620
The question isn't about your promises, Jen Psaki. The question isn't about your predictions.
00:06:56.860
Frankly, the White House's predictions on Afghanistan have been pretty bad. They've been
00:07:00.900
completely wrong, actually. And even the president has admitted that. And the chairman of the Joint
00:07:06.560
Chiefs of Staff has admitted that. And basically everybody involved in this evacuation has admitted
00:07:13.240
that all their predictions turned out to be false. They didn't even think it was possible that it
00:07:16.700
would go this bad. So please, for a moment, spare me your assurances and your predictions about what
00:07:22.520
will happen in the future. What about the Americans stranded right now? No, we will not strand any
00:07:29.800
Americans in Afghanistan. Oh, really? Like you won't lose all of our protective equipment and have it
00:07:35.860
taken over by the Taliban? Like you won't lose the Kabul embassy? Like you won't? Like you won't? Like
00:07:42.060
you won't? Give me a break. Like you won't prevent Americans from being caught there in the first
00:07:47.240
place? Give me a break. By the way, two hours prior to Jen Psaki's preposterous statement, Politico reports
00:07:56.380
that the Pentagon confirmed another mission to rescue Americans stranded in Kabul.
00:08:03.580
That's the language from Politico. Actually, the verb, or in this case, the adjective, stranded.
00:08:09.240
Pentagon confirms latest mission to rescue Americans stranded in Kabul. Listen to how they do it. This is
00:08:16.960
in Politico. Apart from that mission, a Pentagon spokesperson, John Kirby, said at a news briefing Monday
00:08:24.960
that there had been, quote, at least one additional instance where rotary airlift was used to help
00:08:31.800
Americans get from outside the airport into the airport. He declined to elaborate further, saying,
00:08:36.580
I think I'm just going to have to leave it at that today. They used rotary airlift. What is
00:08:45.600
rotary? Well, there's only two. I guess there's three ways to get something into the air.
00:08:50.360
So there's an airplane, there's a rocket ship, and there's a helicopter. And this one's rotary.
00:08:56.640
So it's not a jet. It's not like fixed wind. Oh, it's a helicopter. Oh, you're talking about a
00:09:01.780
helicopter, but you don't want to use the word helicopter because helicopter evokes those images
00:09:06.600
out of Vietnam, out of the fall of Saigon, the worst American foreign policy debacle until now.
00:09:14.760
Oh, that's, so they're going to use all of these, as always, the left is going to use all of these
00:09:20.240
euphemisms. They're going to try to redefine all the words. They're going to try to use mealy-mouthed
00:09:24.240
jargon. They're going to try to play around with verbs and adjectives to try to pretend that Americans
00:09:30.220
are not currently stranded, like they're not being evacuated as fast as they can, though most experts
00:09:35.620
think there's not nearly enough time before the August 31st deadline to get the Americans out
00:09:41.240
of Afghanistan. Meanwhile, while we can't get the people we want out of Afghanistan,
00:09:50.140
some prominent members of the blob of the liberal establishment, the deep state,
00:09:55.560
are suggesting that we send some Americans into Afghanistan because we don't want them in our
00:10:01.340
country anymore. The former director of both the CIA and the NSA, these are two very clandestine
00:10:10.120
operations involved in spying and actually spying on Americans in some cases. Michael Hayden was sent
00:10:19.040
a tweet. The tweet was, can we send the MAGA wearing unvaxxed to Afghanistan? No use sending the plane
00:10:24.980
back empty. Hayden responds, good idea. Good idea. So one of the men to whom we gave more power to spy on
00:10:37.340
not just foreigners, not just foreigners, but also Americans than anyone has ever had in American
00:10:43.460
history just about, he is now openly calling for deporting conservatives because he doesn't like
00:10:51.380
conservatives and not even just conservatives, by the way. So he's got the MAGA wearing part,
00:10:55.420
but then he's saying unvaxxed. So if you don't want to take the experimental drug for the virus that
00:11:01.560
doesn't pose a particularly significant risk to most people, you are worthy of deportation. We
00:11:09.120
don't want you in our country. And people with an outrageous amount of power and who have had very
00:11:14.280
prominent roles in the government want to ship you over to a war zone. They want to get Afghans
00:11:20.060
out, Afghans who are largely unvetted, which we'll get to in a second. They want to get them out and
00:11:25.140
bring them into America to replace you because you, conservative, or you, person who even objects to
00:11:30.320
to being forced to take an experimental drug, you are going to go live under the Taliban.
00:11:35.720
They hate you. They don't like you. The ruling class doesn't want to come to a reconciliation,
00:11:41.520
meet in the middle, shake hands and hug. They hate your guts. They think that you are a terrorist.
00:11:46.760
They think that you are a murderer. They think that you are less than human, deplorable, irredeemable,
00:11:52.100
bitter, clinging, Bible thumping, and they want you out. You know, you know what I want in
00:11:58.460
bio-optimizers. There's a zillion reasons why you can't get enough sleep, even though you're
00:12:03.740
supposed to get seven hours a night, at least seven hours a night. One of the biggest reasons
00:12:08.580
actually might be magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is key to getting good sleep, but 75% of people are
00:12:15.080
actually magnesium deficient. So is it any wonder that so many people have sleep problems? To help fix
00:12:21.000
sleep problems and to fully enjoy the calming effects of magnesium, check out Magnesium Breakthrough
00:12:27.600
by Bio-Optimizers. It's the only organic full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes
00:12:32.260
seven unique forms of magnesium. For instance, you got Marie. She left a five-star review. She said,
00:12:38.380
I'd give this a hundred stars if I could. Within one month of use, I went from daily struggles with
00:12:42.480
restless legs, horrible, terrible sleep, to no struggles with any of that. I know it sounds dramatic
00:12:48.280
and far-fetched, but it's true. Magnesium Breakthrough is 100% organic. It's made with
00:12:52.920
vegetarian non-GMO ingredients. Give it a try right now. Check out for yourself why so many people are

00:13:12.700
the unwashed continues apace. Now it's not just preening liberals on the coasts or people in the
00:13:20.640
academy or people even in the media, Washington establishment. It's medical doctors. Even medical
00:13:30.420
doctors now are throwing hissy fits because some people don't want to take an experimental drug
00:13:37.080
that is supposed to fight off a virus that for most people is not particularly dangerous,
00:13:43.340
but actually apparently doesn't even really prevent infection all that well. I suppose it
00:13:49.520
ostensibly prevents the more serious effects of infection, but it doesn't, according to the science,
00:13:55.880
doesn't really prevent transmission, doesn't really prevent infection. According to certain studies,
00:13:59.940
you actually have the same viral load if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated. Doctors in Florida,
00:14:05.220
the 75 of them are walking off the job to protest their unvaccinated patients and the left-wing media
00:14:13.900
are cheering them on. Just moments ago, more than 75 doctors staged a walkout to protest the number
00:14:20.460
of COVID patients coming to the hospitals who have not been vaccinated. The thing, let's bring in
00:14:26.440
Kerry Sanders because Kerry, you're in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida at this doctor's walkout.
00:14:31.580
Kerry, and I know the area very well, what Americans don't understand is for every unvaccinated person
00:14:39.760
that's filling up an ICU bed, that means with a hospital's jam, somebody with a heart attack,
00:14:45.580
and I've known somebody in this position, goes there, has trouble getting in, can't get treatment,
00:14:51.700
can't get a bed. It is a nightmare for the doctors. It is a nightmare for the nurses.
00:14:56.760
And to the doctor's point of view, it's worse yet for sick people that want help from them.
00:15:04.940
That is truly reflective of the frustration that you see behind me.
00:15:09.120
And these doctors have gathered some coming off their shifts to come out here gathering to try
00:15:14.260
to tell people, please, first of all, ignore the nonsense and the absurdities that you're hearing
00:15:19.280
people say at public meetings and recognize the value of what a vaccine will do.
00:15:25.180
It's about time. It's about time that these doctors finally summon the courage to refuse to
00:15:31.200
treat sick people. You know, I've been waiting for a long time, basically since the Hippocratic
00:15:36.240
Oath was written, that oath that the doctors take to do no harm and to do their best to do justice to
00:15:41.300
their patients. Because some people, they just don't care. They inconsiderately get sick. And then
00:15:49.580
they expect, what, the doctors are just supposed to take care of them? I just, I wish that the doctors
00:15:54.740
would take it further and also stage a walkout and refuse to treat all those fatties, you know,
00:16:00.960
all those fatties who show up. Because those fatties, they show up and they have heart problems
00:16:05.540
sometimes, you know, or they've got, sometimes they have diabetes. Sometimes they have all sorts
00:16:10.980
of vascular issues and they're taking up hospital beds from the good skinny people, you know,
00:16:17.700
or the gay guys, for instance. They, really, the doctors need to go out and protest with the gay
00:16:22.700
guys and refuse to treat them because the gay guys are statistically at a greater risk of contracting
00:16:28.680
HIV and AIDS. So if they, if they contract those, that virus and that turns into, oh, they're going
00:16:35.320
to take up a sick bed from a good, not gay guy, right? So it's just in the interest of medicine
00:16:41.320
and public health, it's about time the doctors refuse to treat AIDS patients, right? Or, or a smokers,
00:16:48.640
for instance, it's a tough one for me, big fan of cigars. But you know, in, in fairness for justice,
00:16:55.380
the doctors need to refuse to treat these smokers because what happens, smokers sometimes develop,
00:17:00.220
there is a risk they will develop on occasion or even more than on occasion, health problems,
00:17:06.000
heart disease, lung problems, mouth problems, and they'll take up hospital beds.
00:17:10.880
Oh, hold on. That's the, that's their job, right? That's the job of the doctors to treat the sick
00:17:18.580
people. But the doctors don't want to do that because the doctors don't understand what they're
00:17:23.300
doing because none of us really understands what we're doing because we have lost the philosophical
00:17:28.040
and political sophistication to discuss these matters because all that is left is fear-mongering
00:17:35.800
and contempt and disdain for our countrymen, specifically for conservatives. The only group
00:17:43.260
that you are allowed to vilify in public. Even more so, people will vilify men for being men,
00:17:51.860
you know, the patriarchy or they'll vilify white people for white, white supremacy and whiteness is
00:17:56.320
terrible. But you know, they'll, they'll, they'll also vilify women when they go along with conservatives.
00:18:01.480
I think Sarah Palin or somebody like that. They'll also vilify black guys if they go along with
00:18:05.760
conservatives like Larry Elder. We'll get to that in a second. So it's really just the conservatives
00:18:11.280
who should not receive medical treatment, who should be shipped over to live under the Taliban
00:18:17.000
and very likely be killed in a war zone. Now on the topic of the vaccine, there might be one
00:18:24.840
political benefit to this hysteria over the vaccine and this hysteria over the coronavirus more broadly.
00:18:31.480
It's, if, if it is not exposing for the left, its own hypocrisy on other political issues,
00:18:40.260
it's at least exposing it for a lot of us. There's a New York city councilman, Mark D. Levine.
00:18:46.900
He is a city councilman in New York and he wants to remind you that the new vaccination screening
00:18:53.820
program for various indoor activities requires here. Well, I'll just use his own words. New York
00:19:01.080
city's new vaccination screening program for indoor dining, et cetera, requires that you show proof of
00:19:06.560
vax and asterisks ID. If you have an ID, don't forget to bring it. If you need an ID, get the city's
00:19:17.380
ID NYC available to all, including undocumented. Here's how to get yours. And he includes the link.
00:19:24.740
Didn't realize we had George Wallace on the New York city council. Didn't realize David Duke
00:19:29.740
was able to get himself elected down in New York. ID. You, you expect New York, which has a substantial
00:19:39.500
black population. You expect that New Yorkers can get IDs to go indoors. All right. Woolworth's lunch
00:19:45.560
counter all over again, I guess. Black people can't get IDs. The Democrats have been telling me
00:19:50.640
that for years. So now you, now you can't go into a restaurant if you don't have an ID.
00:19:56.520
Pretty soon we're going to have different water fountains. If this guy has his way, right?
00:20:00.680
Or the IDs have nothing to do with race. He goes on. He explains what the ID is for.
00:20:05.720
The ID requirement is to help reduce fraud. Hold on. I'm going to have to read this again.
00:20:13.420
The ID requirement says Democrat, New York city councilman, Mark Levine is to help reduce fraud.
00:20:20.100
Venues covered by the VAX screening program are required to check ID for those 18 plus
00:20:24.180
ID for 12 plus is optional. The COVID safe app allows you to upload a picture of your ID if you
00:20:30.240
don't want to carry it. So it's, it's easy to work around. It's easy to acquire, he says. And the point
00:20:37.400
is to help reduce fraud. Gee, you don't say. So now if, if the Democrats are going to keep up this
00:20:46.580
line of argument that it is essential that you get an ID, an official New York ID, a government ID
00:20:52.600
in order to go to a restaurant, in order really to go in anywhere to any kind of recreational venue,
00:20:58.500
but it's evil and terrible to make you to get an ID to vote. What you are saying is that we need to
00:21:06.880
have higher standards for eating a sandwich than we have for protecting our democratic republic.
00:21:15.980
We need to, there is a higher standard of proof required to go have tapas on the lower east side
00:21:22.760
than to protect our constitutional order. This guy, Mark Levine, you know, you know what he sounds
00:21:29.460
like to me? He sounds like an extremist. There are a lot of extremists out there. If you turn, tune
00:21:34.740
into some British morning show, I don't even know the name of it. They're really concerned about extremist
00:21:40.380
language. Here, here is the, if you hear your kid using these kinds of words, you better intervene
00:21:46.420
quickly. They're finding these young boys on, on gaming sites and, and, um, can parents look out for
00:21:53.840
maybe language that they use young, their young sons might be using or behaviour that they might
00:21:59.900
have? Yes, they can. So there are lots of bits of language that might be red flags referring to
00:22:05.120
people as normies or as triggered. Normies is the word incel is used for people outside their community.
00:22:10.900
Triggered, based, cucked, describing being red-pilled or black-pilled, which are words they used
00:22:16.340
to describe being infiltrated into the ideology. And it's worth saying as well that they see this
00:22:21.360
as a kind of conduit to other forms of extremism. It isn't completely separate from far white,
00:22:27.020
white nationalist, white supremacist movements. They actually really see it as a slipway. So
00:22:32.300
parents might see a combination of perhaps also racism creeping in as well. The incel community is a
00:22:38.060
very racist community. This is a racist ideology. And of course, white supremacist is a deeply
00:22:43.240
misogynistic ideology. Yeah. If your son is not a cuck, if he does not want to be a cuck,
00:22:49.680
he might be an extremist white supremacist. My, my British accent is getting worse and worse
00:22:54.860
by the day. As though cuck, which is one of the oldest insults in the world. I mean, Italians actually
00:23:02.080
have different symbols. They wear it as jewelry, the little horn thing it looks like, or the little,
00:23:06.120
the, like the rock star symbol that Italians wear. That's the symbol of the cornuto, of the cuck,
00:23:10.260
the cuckold, the idea that your wife is cheating on you. You've got an unfaithful wife. This is a
00:23:14.360
very basic insult. There are many of these others as well, but if you use them, some of which are
00:23:19.740
quite dated now, actually, your kid is an extremist, no better than a terrorist. You've got to watch out
00:23:25.860
all every, all the conservatives are terrorists, all the leftists, wonderful, great people. We got to
00:23:32.420
kick one group out of society and society is only fit for the other one. You know, this is really
00:23:38.660
getting my blood flowing, my red iron rich blood because it's full of iron because of how much I
00:23:46.400
love good ranchers. Did you know that over 80% of the grass fed beef sold in the United States is
00:23:52.540
imported from overseas? Well, my friends, the good ranchers have traveled the country on a mission
00:23:57.680
to help the American family by working together with local farms and ranches and shipping straight
00:24:02.680
to your door. Good ranchers.com is a safe and convenient way to order your meat. They save
00:24:08.760
your family money and they help the American farmer. I was eating good ranchers just two nights
00:24:14.240
ago. I had their delicious burgers and they were absolutely magnificent and sweet little Elisa loved
00:24:19.800
them too. Good ranchers.com delivers American craft beef and better than organic chicken. They got
00:24:25.180
T-bones, filets, strips, gourmet burgers, and more. For me, I'd go for the strips and the burgers,
00:24:30.400

right back with a lot more. Can you believe it's only been, what, it's been about seven months since
00:26:16.980
the attempted coup d'etat. Since the attempt, the well-organized attempt to take over the American
00:26:26.020
government. We were this close to tyranny, the insurrection, the worst event since the war of 1812.
00:26:37.320
We were told that, right? We were told this was directed by Trump. Trump called for the insurrection.
00:26:43.200
It was organized. It was plotted. It was a conspiracy by all the various nefarious. Charlie
00:26:48.860
Kirk was probably in. Alex Jones was involved. Jared Kushner. I don't know. All the people. They
00:26:54.900
just throw out random names that are in any way associated with the American right. It was Roger
00:27:00.180
Stone. They all, well, the FBI has come out. They've been investigating this thing. And this is
00:27:07.640
according to Reuters, not exactly a conservative news website, quote, the FBI has found scant evidence
00:27:14.620
that the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the
00:27:19.860
presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.
00:27:25.720
Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point
00:27:31.900
believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of
00:27:35.500
then-president Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in
00:27:39.600
or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations. Huh. Because we have a January 6th
00:27:47.560
commission right now, you know, the big investigation, which is exclusively being run by Democrats,
00:27:53.540
Democrats in the House, plus two fake Republicans, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who are court
00:27:59.640
jester conservatives, whose whole point is to just sort of prop up the liberal establishment edifice.
00:28:04.540
So they're telling us we got to get to the bottom of this organized central plot coup d'etat. Well,
00:28:10.580
the FBI has been investigating too. They say, nope, it's not. It's not, quote, 90 to 95% of these are
00:28:16.240
one-off cases, said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation.
00:28:20.440
Then you have 5% maybe of these militia groups that were closely organized, but there was no grand
00:28:24.980
scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take
00:28:30.320
hostages. This is Reuters saying this, by the way. So brings up an important side point, but it's an
00:28:37.200
important one, how to read the news. When the news is potentially bad for a Republican and the
00:28:46.680
mainstream establishment media go easy on it, you can probably believe it. Because it's very simple.
00:28:54.340
Why? The establishment media take every chance that they can to attack Republicans. Sometimes
00:29:00.440
they'll make up negative stories out of whole cloth. So if the establishment media are going
00:29:04.780
easy on Republicans, it means that you can trust the report because it really means they can't find
00:29:09.780
anything. The same would not be true of the establishment media going after Democrats or even
00:29:15.680
some far right-wing media group. There aren't that many of them, but going after Democrats, right?
00:29:20.000
Because the incentives there are such that they want to find something. But in this case,
00:29:27.040
the media, they want to find something about the Republicans. They're reporting nicely about them,
00:29:32.820
which means they don't have it. They don't have it. It's not, and I hate to say I told you so,
00:29:41.480
but early on, during the January 6th, remember the worst event, said, oh yeah, this is bad. It's not
00:29:47.120
good. It doesn't look good. It obviously didn't accomplish very much. These poor people now are
00:29:51.000
going to rot in prison. That's, that's unfortunate. I don't, I don't like that. Wish, wish we had done
00:29:55.440
so. Frankly, I wish there had been something a little more coordinated within the political system
00:29:59.420
that could have looked into some discrepancies in Georgia or perhaps in Arizona or obviously what
00:30:05.140
happened in Pennsylvania. You know, I wish it had been more effective. But, but I said,
00:30:09.760
the idea that the horn guy is leading the insurrection is preposterous. It was laughable
00:30:17.080
at the time and it remains even more risible today. What was the, they got in, right? They got,
00:30:23.560
if this were an insurrection and they really made it in to the Capitol and then they would have formed
00:30:28.100
a new government. But if they were just some guys in horn hats dancing around and the smiley guy with
00:30:34.140
the Pelosi lectern, then they're not going to form a new government because it's not an insurrection,
00:30:37.720
which is what the FBI is, has concluded. Speaking of regime change, speaking of coup, coup d'etat,
00:30:46.440
Larry Elder, Larry, our pal, Larry Elder, looking pretty good in this recall election in California.
00:30:54.220
And we've been talking about the recall for a long time. There was this effort for years building
00:30:57.100
up now to recall Gavin Newsom because he was a terrible governor. I say with personal firsthand
00:31:01.660
experience of what a horrible governor he is. I fled the state in part because of his poor leadership.
00:31:05.980
Yep. So there were these people who were trying to replace him. You had Kevin Faulconer down there
00:31:11.500
in San Diego, I guess a good Republican, but he just didn't have the name recognition or the
00:31:15.800
fundraising ability. John Cox had already gotten beaten by Newsom. Same thing. Didn't really raise
00:31:21.620
money. Didn't have name recognition. Bruce Jenner, who's not really conservative in any meaningful
00:31:28.380
sense of the term. He said, I don't have any loyalty to the Republicans. I don't have any
00:31:32.700
loyalty to Trump. I mostly focused on the LGBT, emphasis on the T community. To say nothing of
00:31:38.860
the fact that he clearly has a tenuous relationship with reality on very basic questions. So that wasn't
00:31:46.720
going to work. That was always a distraction. Republicans didn't really support him.
00:31:49.620
And then Larry Elder came in. Larry Elder, a little more libertarian than I would like in my sort of
00:31:56.180
candidate. I mean, he's, he's much more libertarian, I think, than conservative, but he's got some strong
00:32:00.600
conservative stances. I like the guy, pretty straight shooter. He would be an extraordinarily
00:32:05.580
great improvement in California. And, and here's what's crucial. He actually has a shot.
00:32:12.060
The way I know he's got a shot is that the left is taking him really seriously. The way I know he's
00:32:19.260
really got a shot is that the left is now calling him a white supremacist. That's how you know that
00:32:25.940
you, you've got a really strong Republican candidate is when someone who has never been accused or never
00:32:33.280
been involved in, you know, racial, terrible things, when just out of the blue, he gets called a white
00:32:39.780
supremacist, even in the case of Larry Elder, if he's a black guy. So I kid you not, this is the
00:32:45.900
headline from the LA Times. Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. You've been warned.
00:32:55.340
He's the, he's the black face of. Don't, don't let his black skin, his upbringing in South Central
00:33:02.240
fool you. No, no, he's a white supremacist. Is it even worth trying to read this article?
00:33:09.780
I don't, I don't think so. Here's one. I won't lie, writes this person. Few things infuriate me
00:33:16.120
more than watching a black person use willful blindness and cherry picked facts to make overly
00:33:22.220
simplistic arguments that whitewash the complex problems that come along with being black in
00:33:27.780
America. Few things delight me more than watching libs rend their garments and gnash their teeth
00:33:35.200
when they face a serious challenge from a conservative, especially in this case, a black
00:33:39.800
conservative, because they'll call anyone a white supremacist. I mean, they call Trump a white
00:33:42.900
supremacist. If I, if I ever run for anything, I'm sure they'll call me a white supremacist despite
00:33:47.600
my swarthiness. They call, they call everyone a white supremacist. Hitler, neo-Nazi, they did it to
00:33:53.740
Reagan, they do it to everybody. But it's really funny when they do it to a black guy, right? Because
00:33:58.080
it's so preposterous. Good, this is good news for Larry Elder. I mean, he's, he's doing very well in
00:34:04.520
the polls. The polls are a little weird on this race because the only poll that really matters if
00:34:08.540
you're Larry Elder is whether you recall or you don't recall. Because there's the first question
00:34:14.480
on the ballot is, do you want to recall Newsom? Yes or no? The next question is, who do you want to
00:34:18.720
replace him? Larry Elder is trouncing everyone else in the, in the who do you want to replace him part
00:34:22.980
right now? So the only question that matters is yes or no. If 50% plus one voter say yes,
00:34:29.480
then he's recalled. If more voters say no, he's not recalled. But if he's recalled, Larry Elder
00:34:38.680
almost certainly will be the governor. The way you know that Larry Elder is also in a good position
00:34:42.920
right now, California regulators are trying to sink his candidacy. So not, we're not talking about the
00:34:48.460
political operatives. We're not talking about the establishment media, but I repeat myself.
00:34:52.980
We're talking about actual officials in the state of California. We think, uh-oh, yikes.
00:35:01.240
This guy's getting a little too close. So now, according to reports, California regulators have
00:35:07.080
launched an investigation into whether recall election gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder failed
00:35:11.140
to properly disclose his income sources, according to the Fair Political Practices Commission.
00:35:16.060
So this is completely bogus. It's extremely stupid. Uh, what they're going to suggest is that Larry
00:35:25.240
Elder didn't file some form that he should have filed and, or maybe he forgot to mention that he
00:35:31.000
wrote some book or something, or that, you know, he, he gave a speech or as he went on tour or something
00:35:35.520
like that. None of which would have any relationship to his recall campaign, right? This recall campaign's
00:35:43.680
only been going on for some weeks now. It's not like this guy's been running for years and years and years
00:35:47.480
trading on his political influence. But they're going to say, no, he forgot to file Form 267, so he's out.
00:35:54.420
This, this is the way that bureaucracy clamps down on the will of the people and on our democratic and
00:36:01.360
republican systems. They go, no, you missed up this technicality. You missed it. So now we're going to
00:36:07.220
have to come in and try to suppress your campaign. This is still good news for Larry Elder. It means
00:36:12.080
they're genuinely afraid of him, which means that, that Newsom may well be voted out of office.
00:36:19.060
Another terrible governor just did leave office yesterday. I think it was yesterday, right? Yeah. No,
00:36:23.140
today. Today is his last day in office. I think he's officially out today. He's no longer governor.
00:36:32.240
Andrew Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo just a couple of days ago was, was giving a press conference about the
00:36:39.740
weather. Basically he was giving a press conference about these storms and how New Yorkers can prepare
00:36:43.520
for them. He was asked a question obviously about what people really care about his resignation
00:36:47.780
and the scandals. And he snapped at the reporter. So yesterday, your personal attorney, Rita Glavin,
00:36:54.860
suggested that she had information that would call into question Charlotte Bennett's credibility.
00:36:59.100
Why do you think it's appropriate for your attorney to make those remarks without providing significant
00:37:03.220
evidence to back up the claim? Yeah. You know, I don't want to get into Albany politics,
00:37:09.380
justice, which is what has been going on for the past few months. This is about a storm briefing to save
00:37:18.500
lives of New Yorkers. But you're the law journal. If you think justice is to accept a complaint from a
00:37:28.700
person without investigation and without credibility determinations and without looking at past actions
00:37:40.180
of that person, then you don't know what the justice system is. I can make a complaint about you today.
00:37:49.780
Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not true. But that's why they do investigations.
00:37:54.180
Every day, Cuomo sounding more and more like a Corleone, more and more like a mobster.
00:38:03.260
Governor Cuomo, you're still attacking your accusers. So why do you think that's possible
00:38:07.380
to do or acceptable to do without evidence? Yeah, maybe I, maybe I make a few accusations about you.
00:38:16.760
Maybe that's my father, Kay. That's not me. Luca Brazzi came over. He's going to make you
00:38:24.020
an offer you can't refuse. He says either your signature or your brains are going to be on the
00:38:30.000
contract, Mr. Reporter. Sad end, sad end for Andrew Cuomo's political career. I mean, it's a happy end,
00:38:39.900
I guess, for all of us on the Republican side of the aisle, all of us who want good government in New
00:38:45.360
York. But it is corrupt over there. And, you know, in fairness to Cuomo, he's a pretty crooked guy,
00:38:50.320
but he's not the most crooked guy in Albany. I mean, all New York state politics is a very corrupt
00:38:57.020
endeavor. So crooked as he may be, it's that it's that whole swamp. It's that whole just disgusting
00:39:04.240
blob up there in in New York. And they took him down. And that's good. That's something worth
00:39:08.640
celebrating. Now, let's let's do Newsome now. That's the next one up, everybody. We got one down,
00:39:13.940
one to go. Did you know that over 85 percent of grass fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is

00:39:56.420
president, Kristi Noem. Kristi Noem is the governor in South Dakota. She made a big splash during COVID
00:40:07.960
because she didn't really lock down her state. And that was great stuff. I mean,
00:40:11.120
she showed really strong leadership. Then people began to speak about her as a potential presidential
00:40:15.480
candidate. She looks good. She talks good. She had been governing quite well. And then she started to
00:40:21.680
go a little bit squish. So a bill crossed her desk regarding whether or not men should be able to
00:40:29.120
compete in women's sports in schools. And she vetoed it. She wouldn't go along with it.
00:40:36.560
She said, it's okay. I'm happy to go along with this and kick the men out of women's sports K through
00:40:41.240
12. But I'm not willing to go along with this to kick men out of women's sports at the college level.
00:40:48.560
And the excuses that were given by her people is that, well, you know, then we might lose some NCAA
00:40:53.600
events. Well, then we might lose some money. Well, maybe, you know, I think what was implied
00:40:58.580
was some corporations don't feel so happy about this. And so she went a little bit squishy on what
00:41:03.160
I think should be a pretty simple question and a basic question of principle. Should women be allowed
00:41:08.360
to be a separate category from men? Should women be accepted as their own category with their own
00:41:16.360
bathrooms, with their own sports or not? And Kristi Noem went squish. So now she's come out and she said,
00:41:22.000
if Joe Biden illegally mandates vaccines, I will take every action available under the law to protect
00:41:29.320
South Dakotans from the federal government. Well, that's good. I'm glad that she's doing that.
00:41:33.560
But I think there's reason for skepticism because back last February, in February of 2020,
00:41:40.160
she had the opportunity to sign a bill that would prevent vaccine mandates by schools. And she refused
00:41:48.160
to do it. And she came out very strongly in favor of vaccine mandates by schools. And I get why she
00:41:53.820
did it. There's a long history in the United States of schools mandating certain vaccines. And she said,
00:41:59.300
so vaccines are good. Some vaccines obviously are good. And so I'm going to stand by those vaccine
00:42:03.220
mandates. Now she's coming out and saying, if Biden illegally mandates vaccines, I'm going to take
00:42:07.900
every action available under the law to protect South Dakotans. Well, what changed?
00:42:11.420
What changed? What changed? And will she really do it? I'm not so sure. I don't mean to cast any
00:42:18.860
aspersions, you know, at Kristi Noem or anyone else. But when we're talking about who is going to be
00:42:24.500
the Republican standard bearer in 2024, we're going to need more than pretty talk. We're going to need
00:42:31.480
a record. We're going to need concrete actions. We're going to need to know somebody because now
00:42:35.460
everyone is trying to talk like Trump. Now everyone is trying to talk nice and tough. And don't forget,
00:42:40.540
the people who become governor, senator, presidential candidates, these are very good
00:42:46.280
politicians. These are varsity level politicians who can really tell which way the wind is blowing
00:42:51.620
much better than other people can. And they're going to change the way they speak as a result.
00:42:57.740
But are they going to change their behavior? Do they have credibility? Are they going to follow
00:43:00.620
through? That I don't know. I'd almost have more respect for Kristi Noem if she came out and said,
00:43:05.620
look, some vaccines are good. I think it's totally right for schools to mandate the
00:43:10.160
pertussis vaccine, for instance, whooping cough. But this vaccine was obviously hastily
00:43:15.900
developed. It's still an experimental drug. It's to fight a virus that is not particularly
00:43:20.980
dangerous to most people. And so, and especially not particularly dangerous to kids. And so we're
00:43:26.640
not going to mandate it. She got into the specifics and explained why she would vote for
00:43:30.140
one thing but not for the other. I'm cool with that. I think that's actually a good exercise in
00:43:34.660
judgment and political leadership. But if it's just going to be pretty words, that's not going to
00:43:40.120
work in 2024. Speaking of mandates, the American Bar Association, this is the organization of lawyers,
00:43:52.940
the organization that is involved in accredited law schools, is now mandating diversity training
00:44:03.960
and affirmative action, according to reports. The American Bar Association is poised to mandate
00:44:09.240
diversity training and affirmative action at all of its accredited law schools, says one report,
00:44:14.000
a move top legal scholars say could jeopardize academic freedom and force schools to violate
00:44:18.040
federal law. They'd be violating federal law by taking race into account in things like admissions.
00:44:23.020
Schools would be required to, quote, take effective actions, to, quote, diversify their student bodies,
00:44:27.820
even when doing so risks violating a law that perforce to prohibit consideration of race
00:44:31.600
or ethnicity. Shows you how the game is stacked. Shows you how there's no neutrality.
00:44:39.400
In the law, and not just in the law, but in the organization that kind of runs the law,
00:44:45.380
the organization of the lawyers and that shapes the law schools,
00:44:50.980
they are now going to weigh in on the side of a radical leftist policy in violation of the law
00:44:59.680
in some cases. How strange. For the squishy Republicans, the squishy conservatives who believe
00:45:09.680
that somehow secular liberalism is a neutral playing ground and we've all got to stop making
00:45:13.880
substantive arguments about how we want the country to be run and we only should be making
00:45:16.980
these sort of procedural arguments. We should only be just talking about how wonderful it is to have
00:45:22.120
debate and openness. And no, we have to be able to stand for certain things. As I've said until I'm
00:45:29.500
blue in the face, we need to be able to say, no, considering race in admissions and in hiring is
00:45:37.120
wrong. Disadvantaging whites and Asians because they have the wrong color skin and advantaging,
00:45:45.120
giving an advantage to black and Hispanic applicants just because they have the right
00:45:49.100
color skin is wrong. We're not going to do it. We're going to stand against that. Not only are we
00:45:53.480
going to leave it an open question, but we're actively going to prohibit that kind of stuff.
00:45:56.940
That's what we need to do is if you don't, if you don't actually stand for certain things,
00:46:02.360
which means encouraging the good and suppressing the bad, then you're not just going to be left
00:46:08.000
in this neutral playing ground of everything's up in the air. You're going to cede the ground to the
00:46:13.940
left, which is willing to institute what it wants. The former attorney general, Eric Holder,
00:46:20.400
And raising the consciousness of people by demonstrating, by getting arrested, by doing the
00:46:25.420
things that ended segregation. If you'd asked people back in the 1950s, you think marching,
00:46:30.700
demonstrating is going to bring down a system of American apartheid? You probably would have said,
00:46:35.160
no, that's just not going to happen. And we should not lose faith right now. We shouldn't
00:46:39.020
lose faith right now. Citizens can make a change. Citizens need to be in the streets. Citizens need to be
00:46:44.520
demonstrating. Citizens need to be calling their representatives to demand the kind of change
00:46:48.780
that will make this country more representative, make our democracy more fair.
00:46:54.060
That's Barack Obama's corrupt, biased, crooked attorney general, Eric Holder, who is not talking
00:46:59.480
about segregation, who is not talking about anything involving civil rights in the mid-20th century.
00:47:06.560
He's talking about a law right now that would federalize elections, upend this constitutional
00:47:12.860
order, and give already sitting elected politicians a huge advantage to keep out anyone who wants to
00:47:17.940
challenge them. So corrupt. And he's saying, get out in the streets. Get out in the streets.
00:47:24.040
Just like so many Democrat politicians. Go get out in the streets and pressure them and threaten
00:47:28.140
them and intimidate everyone in this country into doing what you want them to do. We can't have that.
00:47:32.900
We can't have a country like that. The country seems to be disintegrating all around, not just in
00:47:36.920
Afghanistan, but here as well. And can you even imagine under the potential President Harris?

Today on The Ben Shapiro Show, Joe Biden believes if he yells at Americans about COVID, they will
00:48:41.120
forget about Afghanistan. Plus, the Biden administration continues to downplay the
00:48:44.940
ongoing crisis in Afghanistan. That's today on The Ben Shapiro Show. Give it a listen.
