As expected, Vladimir Putin has launched a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The invasion extends far beyond the contested breakaway regions in the east of the country, going all the way to the nation s capital of Kiev.
00:02:36.240Don't, don't, you better, you can have, okay, you can have two fingers, but don't, okay, well, that's American leadership.
00:02:43.620No wonder we see what's happening now in Ukraine.
00:02:46.160It is impossible to prove a counterfactual, but it seems safe to say that this would not be happening right now if Donald Trump were still president.
00:02:55.640But elections, even dubious elections, have consequences.
00:02:59.980The jello-headed cadaver currently occupying the Oval Office has been in power for just one year.
00:03:05.740And already, the post-Cold War world order is crumbling.
00:05:56.400You would have to be living on another planet or so deeply, profoundly ignorant of world affairs and politics to believe that some sort of invasion is not going to happen now.
00:06:08.980There was a real debate over, is Putin just going to go in to the eastern part of the country or is he going to go all the way to Kiev and conquer the whole country?
00:06:16.580But it turns out that a whole lot of ideologues, radical leftists, who are, these are not fringe people.
00:06:25.460Stephen King is a very prominent figure in America.
00:07:08.060And then he ran away from it in the 2020 campaign.
00:07:10.300So you knew the minute this guy found his way into the Oval Office, you knew things are not going to get better.
00:07:16.620But you would have to be just mainlining CNN.
00:07:20.200You would have to be in such an echo chamber of the establishment propaganda to really believe that Putin walked all over Trump and was petrified of Joe Biden.
00:07:32.820The proof of the pudding is in the tasting.
00:07:34.300Putin didn't aggress under Trump and then Biden's in office for one year and already he's conquering an entire country, upsetting the world order that we have had for over 30 years now.
00:08:37.020They're just the American regime's equivalent of Russian propaganda.
00:08:42.220And if you really believed all that stuff, if you weren't tuning into this show, if you weren't reading The Daily Wire, if you weren't talking to other people when you can on social media,
00:08:49.660you would really believe that there's no way Putin's going to, you would be shocked when you heard those bombs go off in Kiev.
00:08:58.080And now, maybe the most insulting aspect of this, of this complete botched mayhem that Biden is presiding over,
00:09:09.200is that the ruling establishment in the United States is now exploiting the war in Ukraine to justify their own failures on every other front.
00:10:20.000It's not because we're just printing money willy-nilly and giving it away to everybody and just trying to spend our way out of temporary political crises.
00:13:44.500Bill Gates, who he doesn't hold any position in the government and yet he's everywhere.
00:13:49.680He's always on TV telling us what vaccines to take.
00:13:52.360He's always meeting with world leaders, I guess, because he's a very rich guy.
00:13:55.380He seems to be dictating a whole lot of not just American public policy, but public policy around the world.
00:14:00.720Then he's in Africa pushing his public policy agenda.
00:14:04.840He's got a ton of power and he has been rabid about COVID.
00:14:10.820Not only on getting us all to take the extremely effective, 100% safe and effective vaccines that are totally going to stop transmission and infection.
00:14:19.120And whoopsie daisy, I guess they're not totally doing that.
00:14:20.880But anyway, you've got to take the second shot or the third or the fourth, maybe the fifth shot.
00:14:24.840But those of you who haven't taken the first shot yet, you have to take it because it's so effective.
00:14:28.620But it's not going to be effective enough to stop you from taking the fifth.
00:16:04.680If it's not a big deal, if it's totally normal, if it's just like putting pants on in the morning, why are you, Bill Gates, wearing pants but not wearing a mask?
00:16:11.680Because wearing the mask is degrading.
00:16:28.720It conveys a lot of information, a lot of emotion.
00:16:31.440It helps us get along together in society.
00:16:34.080That's, that's, oh, and also, by the way, to quote Leanna Nguyen, the chief medical analyst at CNN, the face masks, the cloth face masks are nothing more than facial decoration.
00:17:23.940They got some concessions, at least out of the local governments.
00:17:26.940And then Trudeau suspended the rule of law, invoked the Emergencies Act, went after the truckers, beat them up in the streets, arrested them, stole their property.
00:17:35.800And now, now, Justin Trudeau, that great defender of liberal democracy, he's putting away the Emergencies Act and restoring the rule of law.
00:17:44.720We were very clear that the use of the Emergencies Act would be limited in time.
00:17:51.960When we invoked it, it would be in place for up to 30 days.
00:17:56.740But we said that we would lift it as soon as possible.
00:18:00.340We've held updates and briefs with ministers and officials every day, often multiple times a day.
00:18:08.140And today, after careful consideration, we're ready to confirm that the situation is no longer an emergency.
00:18:16.180Therefore, the federal government will be ending the use of the Emergencies Act.
00:18:22.540We are confident that existing laws and bylaws are now sufficient to keep people safe.
00:18:32.640Of course, we'll continue to be there to support provincial and local authorities if and when needed.
00:18:39.480There he is, Cincinnati's, Justin Trudeau, regular old Washington.
00:18:44.720Trudeau putting away his emergency powers and restoring the rule of law after he totally won.
00:18:53.240After he, through sheer brute force and tyranny of will, completely put down the truckers.
00:19:00.860And then not only did he put down the truckers, but threw in jail, confiscated their property, threatened to kill their dogs.
00:19:31.300And had he not won, he'd still have the emergency powers and he'd still be fighting down.
00:19:35.320There is nothing orderly or principled about what we're seeing in Canada, certainly not what we're seeing in Ukraine.
00:19:43.840What we are seeing is sheer tyranny of will, power politics.
00:19:48.780I'm going to cudgel you over the head.
00:19:51.280And the way they do it in Eastern Europe is pretty violent and an actual historic event right now.
00:19:57.520And what they're doing in Canada is being done with a smile.
00:20:01.680But make no mistake, there is no order here.
00:20:04.060There is not a whole lot of logic here.
00:20:06.320This is a political reordering of our society.
00:20:10.320In some cases being done with a grimace, in some cases being done with a smile.
00:20:14.320The opinion of a great many people, forget Canada for a second, forget America's hat, come back down to America.
00:20:20.040The opinion of a great many people is that conservative, traditional, Christian, overwhelmingly Americans who don't want their way of life completely upended,
00:20:32.660who don't want their rights suspended, who don't want their traditional liberties taken away, they can't be reasoned with.
00:24:21.840One of Daily Wire's newest projects, incredibly exciting, The Enemy Within, a new docu-series featuring acclaimed journalist and expert in national threats, Lee Smith.
00:24:31.640Smith uncovers a political coup orchestrated by America's ruling class to generate their own wealth and power at the expense of the American people's safety and freedom.
00:24:40.640In the third episode, Lee uncovers the infiltration of America's universities by Chinese spies, students, and the CCP, along with American professors who've sold their allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party for bribes.
00:25:11.600However, the most significant threat comes from within.
00:25:16.000You're trying to obscure responsibility for four million people dying around the world.
00:25:20.700Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about.
00:25:23.640We've already seen evidence of how the elites want to run the United States.
00:25:29.280They're modeling themselves after Chinese autocracy.
00:25:32.120For over a decade, the People's Republic of China has stood publicly accused of acts of cruelty and wickedness that match the cruelty and wickedness of many evil torturers and executioners.
00:25:50.120Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy as her driver for 20 years.
00:25:56.760We're not talking about one person infiltrating senior levels at the CIA or the White House.
00:26:03.480We're talking about an entire elite class throughout the political, corporate, academic, cultural, and media establishment.
00:26:30.420All episodes of The Enemy Within are streaming now exclusively at The Daily Wire.
00:26:43.140So if you are not a member, now is the time to change that.

00:26:49.420Also, in Ben Shapiro's new show, The Search, you will join him and his closest friends as they head to Ben's favorite local spots to dive into deep conversations that you do not get to hear when the camera is not rolling.
00:26:59.960First, he had Jordan Peterson, and the second episode of The Search will feature his other very good friend, the highly lauded historian, Neil Ferguson.
00:27:29.960A first-of-its-kind study has captured a man's brain activity seconds before and after his death.
00:27:40.720And what it found is shocking to everyone who doesn't go to church on Sunday, I guess, which these days is probably the great majority of people.
00:27:49.100So it just so happened that the guy was getting a brain scan, and he died as he was getting his brain scan.
00:27:55.500So they've got the brain scan data of what's going on in his head as he dies.
00:27:59.460This has not been done before as far as anyone knows.
00:28:04.440And the research, which was published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, describes a man who was connected to this brain scan.
00:28:16.080And they showed the different types of brain waves that were going through his head before, during, and even 15 seconds after his heart stopped beating.
00:28:23.980What some of the researchers found is, surprisingly, after the heart starts pumping blood into the brain, these oscillations keep going.
00:28:32.560So that was extremely surprising for us to see.
00:28:37.220You get a flash of everything you've ever done.
00:28:43.020You just get a flash of all of your memories just come flooding back to you in this instant.
00:28:48.680And the person who called my attention to this news story is my wife.
00:28:52.960You know, sweet little Elisa, she has got a really good gut on political matters, on cultural matters, and on religious matters, too.
00:29:01.940She's just got this way of seeing things that cuts through all of the kind of pretentious jargon and all the clinical, newfangled wording.
00:29:12.820And so she sends me this article, and she said, hey, are they just talking about the particular judgment?
00:29:17.560I said, oh my gosh, that's, we're all scratching our heads trying to make sense of this scientific discovery of a phenomenon that we'd heard anecdotally for many, many years.
00:29:30.440Christians have talked about this forever.
00:29:32.460They say, at the moment of your death, at the exact moment of your death, there is a particular judgment.
00:29:40.480You go up, you're at the gate of St. Peter, you meet your maker, and you're answerable for the things that you've done.
00:29:47.040Now, Christians believe that Christ's death on the cross, he redeems man from his sins, and you receive that immense grace.
00:29:55.380And yet still, and you read this throughout the Gospels, you are accountable for the things that you have done in that very instant of death.
00:30:02.920And what we are seeing here, I don't want to sound too much like a hippy-dippy new age guy, but what we are seeing here is a physical representation of a spiritual truth that people, frankly, not even just Christians, but people of many, even certain pagan religious intuitions, have been aware of for a long time.
00:30:23.340Though most precisely, it's the Christians who have been aware of this.
00:30:26.360The longer I live, the more I realize that peasant farmers and shepherds in the Middle East, 2,000 and 3,000 years ago, pretty much figured out everything.
00:30:42.240And they figured it out because God told them, and they figured it out in part because they had use of their reason.
00:30:47.260And the further we get from that ancient world, the more technology we get, the more iPads and iPods and fancy computers and genius scientists in their lab coats with their stethoscopes, the dumber we get because we're rediscovering things that we already knew were true.
00:31:06.880I actually think a lot of this just comes back to, yeah, we should do good, not do bad.
00:31:14.600There is virtue, there is a moral order.
00:31:18.060In the Western civilization, we are just starting to come out of, what, 150, 200, maybe even 300 years of fashionable atheism, materialism, all these kooky random theories that tried to get away from the basic truths of religion.
00:31:38.640And we're realizing that it just doesn't hold up.
00:31:41.920The idea that there's no such thing as good or bad.
00:32:26.580And whether the brain scan is showing this or not, it seems to be pretty clear to me that the basic facts of life are actually pretty simple.
