The White House strategy is not working. At what point does the administration say, "You know what, this strategy isn't working, we're going to change strategies?" and what are they actually going to do about it?
00:02:31.360We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
00:02:33.520It is time for us to be doing what we have been doing, and that time is every day.
00:02:40.980The White House remains confident that, in the long run, their strategy, which has never worked, is going to work.
00:02:49.120Kamala Harris is just as confident today of their strategy to stop the Russian war in Ukraine as she was six weeks ago, that the war would never start in the first place.
00:02:59.380I will repeat myself, and I'm vice president of the United States, and the president and I work closely together, and I know his position because he has been consistent in that regard.
00:03:10.340If Vladimir Putin and Russia takes aggressive action, it will be met with a cost that will be severe.
00:03:30.960The White House strategy and the definition of madness, doing the same things over and over and over again and expecting different results.

00:05:56.240Even the New York Times is now admitting in a fact check that that's not true.
00:05:59.760What happened was, at the end of the Trump administration, all of the liberal ruling class establishment intentionally shut down all of the jobs for the COVID-19 thing.
00:06:11.440And they shut them down, and then Joe Biden gets into office, and they say, okay, you can let up again.
00:06:15.940And so, obviously, if you get rid of all the jobs, then some jobs are going to come back.
00:06:19.580But the jobs haven't reached pre-pandemic levels.
00:06:22.120So Joe Biden on the economy, on jobs, is a failure.
00:07:11.360Because Texas is doing a very good thing.
00:07:14.300In Texas right now, good old Republican state, Texas is going after parents who are abusing their children by mutilating their genitals and pumping them full of hormones to convince little boys that they're little girls.
00:07:27.440There's a story about this right now in the New York Times.
00:07:30.360New York Times headline, Texas investigates parents over care for transgender youth, suit says, over care.
00:07:38.720How are they caring for their transgender youth?
00:07:40.720By mutilating their bodies and pumping them full of poison.
00:07:43.560The investigations by the State's Department of Family and Protective Services started last week with an employee of the agency, according to the suit, after Governor Greg Abbott called for such inquiries.
00:07:56.260So, in Texas, you are not allowed to trans your kids, which is a good thing.
00:08:10.820It's a really sick, perverted society, unjust society that mutilates little kids because of sexual fads and fashions that have been around for approximately five minutes.
00:08:20.860It's a really good for the rule of law.
00:08:57.360The transgenderism craze has only been around for, what, five or ten years at this point?
00:09:01.500Basically, the minute that the libs succeeded at radically redefining marriage, all of their radical sexual apparatus just moved on to transgenderism.
00:09:13.000Which is kind of ironic because it totally undermines the argument for homosexuality.
00:09:16.780The argument for gay marriage was, look, people are born this way.
00:09:21.680They can't change their sexual desires.
00:09:23.220There's, when boys are boys and the boys are attracted to other boys, then there's no way for the boys not to pursue their romantic love for other boys.
00:09:30.720And that's why we need to redefine marriage.
00:09:38.240But never mind, moving on, moving on, nothing to see here.
00:09:40.940So it was totally incoherent, but they've really gone all in on it.
00:09:43.680And now the Biden administration is doubling down.
00:09:47.560And they're saying, no, you will, you will trans the kids.
00:09:50.580Joe Biden and his HHS secretary, Xavier Becerra, have come out and said, this is going to be a major fight for our administration.
00:09:59.840Joe Biden said, quote, affirming a transgender child's identity is one of the best things a parent, a teacher, or a doctor can do to help keep children from harm.
00:10:11.600And parents who love and affirm their children should be applauded and supported, not threatened, investigated, or stigmatized.
00:10:22.140It is very important to affirm a transgender child's identity.
00:10:29.140Transgender children, for instance, boys who think they're girls, are boys.
00:10:34.640It's really important to affirm their true identity as boys.
00:10:38.580It does not help them to indulge the delusion or the sexual fetish or the fantasy that they are girls or something else or not boys or girls or some 57th gender.
00:10:52.840We've gone through the statistics many times on the show.
00:10:55.520But there is no real evidence that having some mutilation surgery reduces rates of anxiety, depression, or suicide among sexually confused people who think they're the opposite sex.
00:11:07.220There is no evidence of that whatsoever.
00:11:09.660However, there is actually a lot of evidence that if you just tell your little boy, no, you actually are a boy, you tell your little girl, no, you actually are a little girl, that eventually, in at least a large number of cases, the delusion, the dysphoria goes away.
00:11:27.660So it is much, much better to tell your child, no, look, we love you.
00:11:32.620I know you're going through this tough thing.
00:11:33.800I know you're experiencing this hard problem right now.
00:11:42.900But the left always twists words to try to mean their opposite, which was the topic of my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, which is going to be available in paperback coming out in June.
00:11:52.740Thank you to everyone who made it a number one national bestseller in hardcover.
00:12:03.900That's what Joe Biden is trying to do here.
00:12:05.940Xavier Becerra, the HHS secretary, says the same thing.
00:12:08.340He says, the Department of Health and Human Services is, quote, committed to protecting young Americans who are targeted because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
00:12:17.260Don't forget, those two things are contradictory.
00:12:20.160Sexual orientation means stuff about your sex can't change.
00:12:23.700Gender identity means stuff about your sex always can change, and it must change.
00:12:29.360He says, HHS has to evaluate the tools at our disposal to protect trans and gender diverse youth in Texas.
00:13:42.840Gold. Precious metals have historically been a safe haven in times of inflation.
00:13:47.460Birch Gold is the leader in converting IRAs and 401ks into a tax-sheltered IRA backed by gold and silver.

00:14:15.820Ron DeSantis just keeps the hits on coming.
00:14:20.760The guy is, in terms of governors in this country, the guy is doing better than basically anybody.
00:14:28.320He, I don't know how he, he's obviously running for president, so he's gearing all of his actions toward that.
00:14:34.460But it's great. It's really working. He had, this is my favorite DeSantis moment yet, and it happened just yesterday at the University of South Florida.
00:14:44.640Governor DeSantis was going up to give a little talk, do a little photo line, and he sees students wearing the stupid masks.
00:14:51.960And Ron DeSantis, he chose his words very carefully, I think.
00:14:56.820He corrected these students, and it's a correction that the entire country should hear.
00:15:01.840You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off.
00:15:05.020Honestly, it's not doing anything, and we've got to stop with this COVID theater.
00:15:08.840So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.
00:15:11.740All right, well, it's good to be at USF.
00:15:17.320Oh, it's good to be at USF. It's good to see Ron DeSantis. And then what do the kids do? They take it off.
00:15:23.060Of course they take it off. They wanted to take this off the whole time.
00:15:25.920But people in authority, these petty little tyrants like their professors and these deputy deans of diversity and inclusion that now run all the campuses,
00:15:34.120they won't let them take it off. But then in walks Mac Daddy DeSantis, and he says, hey, take that off.
00:15:39.660And what he said was really important. He said a couple things that were slightly different here.
00:15:46.100He said, if you want to wear it, fine, whatever. But then he said, please take it off.
00:15:54.140I was thinking of all the various, there's more than just two reactions on the masks, right?
00:15:59.460It's more than just do wear the mask, don't wear the mask. Some people say, do wear the mask,
00:16:05.420you must wear the mask, wear the mask all the time. Some people say,
00:16:09.200wear the mask if you want to. That's your individual choice. Whatever you want to do is
00:16:12.940totally fine because you have total control over your body and you should never be made to wear
00:16:16.960something or not wear something that you don't want to wear. It's totally up to you.
00:16:19.500If you want to look like a bandito in society, fine. If you want to walk around with some filthy cloth
00:16:24.580covering your whole face, no big deal. Wear the secular keffiyeh. Whatever you want, individualism,
00:16:29.780baby. And then there's the conservative answer, which is take off the stupid mask. It doesn't do anything.
00:16:35.380It's disordered for our society to have everyone wandering around like they're about to rob a
00:16:39.900stagecoach. Don't do it. Take it off. It's dumb. It's weird. It's wrong. And it's not how society
00:16:45.280should function. And DeSantis, he gave a little hint at the kind of weak, squishy, individual,
00:16:51.440do whatever you want kind of argument in the middle, which was, look, if you want to wear it,
00:16:54.400whatever. But most of his argument was, please take it off. It's beyond you don't need to wear it.
00:17:02.000You don't need to wear the mask. Please take it off. Please. We need to get past this COVID theater.
00:17:10.340As long as there is a substantial portion of Americans wearing these stupid masks,
00:17:17.000we're never going to get past the COVID theater. I'll give you an example of this.
00:17:23.420My wife goes to certain classes, right? Sweet little Lisa, you know, she goes to different
00:17:28.220classes, sometimes with the baby, sometimes maybe it's an exercise class, this or that.
00:17:31.580You've all seen this in your own life too. You go to a class, you go to a community group,
00:17:37.500you go to a meeting. No one wants to wear the mask except for like one person. Like one person
00:17:46.000is sitting there and she said, and, and what happens as a result of that one person who wants
00:17:51.900to wear the mask, everyone's got to wear the mask. Okay. Is it, they're all sitting there.
00:17:56.040We've all got the dumb masks on cause Fauci made us wear it for two years. And then you sit there
00:17:59.580and you say, okay. And would it, would people feel comfortable if we, would you mind if maybe
00:18:04.500we took the masks off and everyone says, Oh, actually, yeah, that would be, I, maybe I would
00:18:09.360like, and then there's that one person who says, actually guys, I'm, um, I'm super duper immune,
00:18:15.320immunocompromised. I'm, I have my great, great grandmother-in-law lives three towns over from us
00:18:22.180and I might see her in six months. So you could, you, we all need to mask up forever,
00:18:26.140please. And people do it. And they go, it's that, it's the tyranny of the minority in all of these
00:18:32.920things. Ben sometimes talks about this with vegetarianism in families. Everyone wants to
00:18:38.680eat meat in your family. Everyone's having a nice time. Oh, good lamb chops. Oh yeah. Nice steak.
00:18:43.560That's great. Except that one part. Then there's your little sister, your little sister decides to
00:18:49.380become a vegetarian and Oh, no, don't worry. It's just me. It'll just be me as the vegetarian.
00:18:54.460And what happens all of a sudden, no one eats meat anymore or your meat consumption dramatically
00:18:59.620dry. It's the tyranny of the minority. Do not let them get away with this. The masks are dumb.
00:19:04.260They're stupid. They have no basis in prudence or sense or reason. Drop them as a, as a cultural
00:19:14.260ritual. They're hideous and heinous. All they remind me of is the dictatorship of Dr. Fauci.
00:19:19.820Ditch him. DeSantis, totally right. He's on a roll. He's on a roll this week. Ron DeSantis last week,
00:19:27.060I meant to get to the story and we didn't have time, but works just as well. Now, Ron DeSantis
00:19:32.140was asked to provide Florida national guard troops for the state of the union address.
00:19:38.740You remember a couple of weeks ago, I said the libs for the libs every single day is January 6th. And
00:19:43.620there's always an insurrection around the corner and half the country are Nazis and bull Connor,
00:19:48.160and they're going to attempt to overthrow the government. So they didn't just put up the fence
00:19:53.580around the Capitol because of the horn hat guy on January 6th, because some Midwestern dads walked
00:19:59.580into the Capitol rotunda in some cases with doors open for them by the police and cracked a Coors
00:20:04.320light and took some pictures. And that was supposed to be, you know, the war of 1812 or something.
00:20:09.660No, the, the left did it because it helps them to maintain power. Much like the masks are a political
00:20:15.540symbol that permits the left to maintain power. The, the gate around the Capitol, the fence,
00:20:22.060we're in dangerous times. Don't claim too many of your rights or liberties. Don't try to get back.
00:20:27.100This is not normal. You don't get your normal way of life because things are dangerous.
00:20:30.920And so one of the ways to do this, they put up the stupid fence around the Capitol for the state
00:20:35.100of the union. And then they, they asked for national guard troops to come back to Washington DC so that
00:20:40.400Washington DC could become an actual military occupied city for the second time in just one year.
00:20:48.040And they asked Ron DeSantis and he said, no, he said, no, we're not, we're not going to do that.
00:20:52.920Quote, last week, the Biden administration requested the assistance of state national
00:20:57.620guards to deploy to Washington DC. I've rejected this request. There will be no Florida national
00:21:04.260guard sent to DC for Biden state of the union. Absolutely right. And look, Biden's still alive.
00:21:09.020Well, he's as alive as he was before. At least he's allegedly alive. He's at least being propped
00:21:13.940up fairly, fairly convincingly. He's fine. It was all good. They never needed to send the national
00:21:20.140guard. It's theater. Don't do it. It's bad. It's, it's an ugly thing for Washington DC to appear to
00:21:28.340be a military occupied town in perpetuity for it to look like wartime Baghdad all the time. I went
00:21:36.320last year when the national guard flooded DC at the request of liberal Democrat politicians,
00:21:44.140I was there. You know, I flew in, I fly into DC a lot because I do the podcast with Senator Cruz
00:21:50.240and it's, it's weird. It's like, it doesn't, it feels un-American for us to have troops stationed
00:21:56.660on every corner all the time. Troops who don't want to be there, by the way, they know it's as
00:21:59.580ridiculous as we all do. And DeSantis is saying, no, he's offering a different vision, not just of
00:22:07.000the state of Florida, but of America because he's obviously one of the people running for president.
00:22:11.060But if you think that DeSantis is just the guy now, or even if you think Trump is just the guy now,
00:22:16.680I don't think that's quite true. I think there are a lot of people who are eyeing that Republican
00:22:21.620nomination in 2024. A lot of people who could make a good claim at it. One of the people who's doing
00:22:25.620that, Glenn Youngkin in Virginia. Glenn Youngkin just came out to give the state, the Commonwealth of
00:22:33.720Virginia's view on the war in Ukraine. He said, quote, the invasion of Ukraine by Soviet dictator
00:22:39.840Vladimir Putin cannot stand and the people of the Commonwealth are ready to rally in opposition
00:22:43.620to this senseless attack on a sovereign nation and Western ideals. Today, we're acting to show
00:22:48.040our solidarity with the Ukrainian people as they defend their country. And while these are important
00:22:51.980steps, it is incumbent upon President Biden to take a stronger, more decisive leadership position
00:22:55.680to end this war. Okay, that's fine. That's nice. I'm sure we all agree with the sentiment expressed
00:23:00.640in that statement. The question is, why is Youngkin making that statement? Last I checked,
00:23:06.860Virginia doesn't have a foreign policy. This is one of the issues that governors have when
00:23:11.740they run for president is that states don't have foreign policies. So Virginia has really
00:23:19.080almost nothing to say about the war in Ukraine, except that Glenn Youngkin is probably eyeing
00:23:25.080the White House. He's at the very least eyeing the vice presidency. And frankly, he would make
00:23:30.040a pretty good candidate. Glenn Youngkin won in a blue state. That's pretty impressive,
00:23:37.680especially at a time when we are told the suburban voters, the suburban housewives, the moderates,
00:23:42.420they don't like Trump that much. Trump was too far out there for them. But Republicans can win on
00:23:46.640these issues, especially parents' issues, especially school boards and critical race theory and
00:23:51.680transgenderism in the classroom. And oh, exactly the issues that got Glenn Youngkin elected.
00:23:57.080That could be a powerful ticket, whoever it is, whoever's at the top of the ticket,
00:24:02.920whoever's at the bottom of the ticket. If you have a guy like Youngkin, it could be pretty
00:24:06.200interesting. The important thing to remember here, though, because what you're going to hear
00:24:08.940from a lot of the establishment types is Youngkin, he's a moderate, he's a centrist,
00:24:13.080he's a fiscal conservative. He just talks about the fiscal issues. That's not true.
00:24:16.880Don't let them rewrite history. Glenn Youngkin won Virginia on the social issues. He was going to
00:24:22.540lose Virginia when he was just a chamber of commerce economic candidate. He won on the social
00:24:27.820issues. The social issues, so-called, are winners for Republicans. There are a lot of issues going
00:24:38.060on in the country these days. A lot of them are appealing to, can appeal to get regular voters to
00:24:43.540vote for Republicans. This is true on the social side. It's true on the foreign policy side. It's
00:24:48.840obviously true when you go to fill up your gas tank. This is basic stuff, which is why you got

00:26:00.100You know the Daily Wire is making more movies than like Paramount at this point. We're just
00:26:04.420churning movies all the time. Well, we got a new movie coming out March 10th. It's called Hyperions.
00:26:08.940This movie does not follow the same old Hollywood prescribed formula. It's a movie that stands
00:26:14.420entirely on its own and it's excellent. Check out the trailer.
