00:11:06.100And that's because people are relieved.
00:11:07.880And you combine that with billions of dollars of a media PR campaign, we're about to see a month-long Democrat convention building her up as a combination of Mother Teresa, Oprah, and Gandhi.
00:11:25.220You know, the media, by the way, that hated Joe Biden days ago now has completely rewritten his obituary to call him the greatest and selfless guy they've ever seen.
00:11:38.560He's FDR and George Washington right now.
00:11:42.000In the media world, now that he's not on the ticket and going to drag every Democrat down, he's FDR and George Washington.
00:11:48.160So, and that's the part that concerns me, is that they're actually going to now use him like a great-grandfather to go out there and just pump her up.
00:12:01.840And this is not going to be political.
00:12:04.080This is going to be like watching the Olympics.
00:12:06.220It just happens to be the presidential election where it's USA, USA, and they're going to turn this into a grandfather steps to the side to allow the other, the elder statesman to come in to his own.
00:12:18.780And this is this feel-good love story, which was hell on earth for them just 48, what, 72 hours ago.
00:12:24.940And all of a sudden, the entire thing has changed.
00:12:27.860You're going to have this massive in-kind donation from the media.
00:13:28.400Come on, give me some street cred here.
00:13:31.360You know, Eddie Murphy, I don't remember if it's Raw or Delirious, but he talks about, he says when there's like a starving man in the desert,
00:13:39.300and he's like desperate for water, and someone shows up and gives him water and gives him a cracker.
00:13:43.360And he's like, man, this cracker's delicious.
00:14:59.600It's like, well, I laugh, because if I got one, I got 100 messages from people tonight saying to me,
00:15:04.960Ben, is this AI or is this actually Joe Biden?
00:15:07.520And I'm just laughing because the fact that we can even joke about it and you feel like there's yet a little bit of a possibility of it
00:15:14.320tells you just how insane it is that this guy is still the acting president of the United States of America.
00:15:20.980But his staff, I think, clearly said, okay, you need to introduce Kamala Harris's agenda and where she's going to go.
00:15:30.620And one of those points that he made, it was only eight seconds long, but it's something you and I have been warning about now for well over a year on this show.
00:15:38.640And that is about the undermining of the Supreme Court by the radical left who says, anytime we don't get our way at the Supreme Court, we just want to get rid of it.
00:15:51.740We want to be able to kick people off the court.
00:15:54.040And in eight seconds, Joe Biden made it very clear what Kamala Harris wants to do.
00:15:59.640I'm going to call for Supreme Court reform because this is critical to our democracy, Supreme Court reform.
00:16:06.640It's not critical to our democracy to reform the Supreme Court, but every time now they want to do something radical, they call it democracy.
00:16:14.920Well, and understand, by the word reform, he means destroy the Supreme Court.
00:16:19.240What he wants to do is utterly politicize it.
00:16:25.240FDR, who is the president that Joe Biden desperately wishes he could be.
00:16:29.580FDR, at the height of his power, when he had super majorities in Congress, tried to pack the Supreme Court.
00:16:37.300He was frustrated because the Supreme Court was striking down aspects of the New Deal.
00:16:41.320And he proposed expanding the Supreme Court in order to pack it with left-wing justices.
00:16:47.240And even the Democrats in Congress, they said, no, we're not going to do that because a Supreme Court that is independent, that is focused on the Constitution and upholding the rule of law, it is critical to our liberty in this country.
00:17:00.040And so the Democrats, its own party, told FDR, no.
00:17:04.980There are no Democrats willing to stand up to the radicals now.
00:17:08.980If Kamala Harris is the president, God forbid, and if Democrats win the House, and if they gain just one seat in the Senate, they have right now 51 Democrats, if they gain one seat, they will have the votes to end the filibuster.
00:17:25.000And when they do so, if they do so, they will add four new left-wing justices immediately to the Supreme Court.
00:17:34.100They'll grow it from nine justices to 13.
00:17:36.720And understand, you don't need a constitutional amendment to do that.
00:17:39.680The number of justices on the court is not set by the Constitution.
00:17:44.220And so if you end the filibuster, they can do it with just 50 votes in the Senate.
00:17:48.880They will do that because the Supreme Court is the one institution of government they do not control right now, and they're willing to burn it to the ground.
00:17:57.580This is a radical agenda, and it's who Biden and Harris are.
00:18:01.600Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:18:08.560And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:20:05.160Yeah, is that a position you agree with?
00:20:07.600And we need to probably think about starting from scratch.
00:20:10.180Outdated, it is wrong-headed thinking to think that the only way you're going to get communities to be safe is to put more police officers on the street.
00:20:17.520Why do you support changing the dietary guidelines?
00:20:24.420People who are convicted in prison, like the Boston Marathon bomber, on death row, people who are convicted of sexual assault, they should be able to vote?
00:20:31.920I think we should have that conversation.
00:20:33.340We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program.
00:20:37.060So for people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it.
00:21:57.360By the way, there's another dynamic, which is the corporate media is desperately trying to erase the fact that Kamala Harris, for the last four years, has been Joe Biden's, quote, border czar.
00:22:48.700So long ago, she was a prosecutor in California.
00:22:52.560Now, the left got mad at her because she actually put some criminals in jail.
00:22:55.420And so she spent much of her years since then trying to run away from her years as prosecutor and arguing for things like abolishing the police, abolishing ICE, all sorts of extreme policies.
00:23:06.440My prediction is in the next three months, she's going to harken back to her prosecutor days.
00:23:13.680And if there is a sister soldier moment, if there's a moment where she stands up to her party and pushes it back, it's going to be on the George Soros prosecutors.
00:23:22.160It's going to be on the soft on crime crazies.
00:23:24.620Now, mind you, Kamala Harris is the person that during the Black Lives Matter riots and the Antifa riots was raising money online to bail out of jail the violent criminals who had been imprisoned.
00:23:38.580My prediction is she's going to try to run away from that and the media is going to do everything they can to erase that chapter from her career.
00:23:46.520Let's also just talk about how does now that we know who it is, we know it's Kamala.
00:24:14.980And, you know, Hakeem Jeffries this week tweeted out, you know, nobody should lecture us on democracy.
00:24:20.740And I got to admit, I retweeted him and said, you know, narrator, at the same time that he was saying this, Democrats were in the process of naming, as their candidate for president, a person that not one single Democrat primary voter had ever voted for to be president.
00:24:39.760Like, they're literally flouting democracy while pretending to be warriors for democracy.
00:24:46.800That being said, look, you and I are annoyed by that.
00:24:50.520I think the Democrats, the Democrats who didn't vote for her, they might be mildly miffed for about a tenth of a second, but they're so relieved to have a candidate they think has a prayer of winning that I think they get over it very quickly.
00:25:05.080And frankly, I don't think this is a winning argument in terms of the swing voters, the independent voters, the people who are not engaged.
00:25:12.680I think it's too much of a process and procedure argument.
00:25:16.000I think what we ought to be talking about is Kamala Harris is responsible for the disastrous agenda that has hurt your life, your family, your children, has made you less safe, has made it harder for you to put food on the table, has endangered the world.
00:25:29.160She is responsible for policies that are hurting you.
00:25:33.920I want to tell you real quick about my friends over at Bond Arms, and Bond Arms is an incredible company.
00:25:40.860If you have ever carried a firearm, you've got to check out Bond Arms.
00:25:45.660If you're looking for a firearm to protect yourself and your family, when it comes to personal protection, a carry arm, Bond Arms, I just got to say, you need to go look at them.
00:25:57.100I have had to use a firearm to save my life, and thank the Lord, and I mean that literally, that I had a gun with me that day.
00:26:03.940And it was able to save, I was able to save my life, protect myself, and my best friend that was with me.
00:26:09.660Well, Bond Arms makes the smallest, most powerful, best built personal protection you can carry.
00:26:34.860For 30 years, they have been doing this.
00:26:37.640It is a Texas-based company, and that's something else you're going to love because it's made right here in the U.S. of A.
00:26:44.160Check out their handguns at GetBondArms.com, which are built like a tank and have been seen in TV hit series like Yellowstone, Longmare, Castle & John, and Wick 3.
00:26:54.920Plus, go to GetBondArms.com and check out their newly patented firearms that have just come out.
00:28:12.440It had a sense of gravity, a sense of history.
00:28:18.280Israel is facing an existential threat right now, and the adjective I used after the speech for Bibi's speech was that it was Churchillian,
00:28:29.900and that is not an adjective I used for any address by any other world leader,
00:28:34.080because it had the same sense of clarity and history and seriousness of purpose that Winston Churchill brought to rally the world to defeat the Nazis and win World War II.
00:28:47.160I am very grateful for Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech.
00:28:56.200It laid out the seriousness of their purpose to utterly eliminate Hamas.
00:28:59.880It addressed many of the lies that Democrats and the corporate media and the leftist influencers on TikTok and social media are pushing to young people.
00:29:10.460He addressed them very directly, the lies that are being told, and it was significant, but I've got to say, at the same time, it was sad, the number of Democrats who boycotted the speech.
00:29:20.380We saw dozens and dozens of House members that refused to attend.
00:29:24.420You saw dozens of Senate Democrats who refused to attend, and the most high-profile person who boycotted the speech was Kamala Harris.
00:29:32.020Now, typically, when a head of state addresses a joint session of Congress, the Speaker of the House and the Vice President are both sitting directly behind him.
00:29:40.920In this instance, Kamala refused to attend, and she's not just the Vice President right now.
00:29:47.120She is the presumptive Democrat nominee for president, and understand the Democrat Party has gotten so radical today that many of them,
00:29:56.980including the likely Democrat nominee for president, they are unwilling even to listen to, even to hear what the democratically elected leader of Israel has to say.
00:30:09.200I thought it was disgraceful that she boycotted the speech, and I'll tell you, during the speech, so I was sitting with a bunch of Republican senators.
00:30:17.760I told them right when it began, I said, listen, in honor of Richard Simmons recently passing away,
00:30:24.240get ready to do some aerobics, because we were going to be standing and standing and standing.
00:30:29.640I think the count was we gave Netanyahu 57 standing ovations.
00:30:37.000Those were almost exclusively on the Republican side of the aisle.
00:30:40.260On the Democrat side of the aisle, most of the Democrats refused to stand.
00:30:45.900When Netanyahu walked onto the floor, Chuck Schumer refused to shake his hand and kind of turned his back on him.
00:30:53.200I mean, it was I've never seen anything like it, that the contempt that there were several senators, Chris Murphy and Raphael Warnock were sitting near the front.
00:31:03.080They spent almost the entire speech sitting there with scowls on on their face.
00:31:11.920Even when Netanyahu said things like we need to stand united against anti-Semitism, the two of them sat there scowling and could not stand to stand against anti-Semitism.
00:31:24.020It is a manifestation of just how much the pro-Hamas anti-Semitic faction of the Democrat Party has the rest of the party terrified.
00:31:33.900Yeah, I mean, Senator, you look at what Bibi actually said on the floor, and it was not radical.
00:32:55.460Scores of Democrats sat down, refused to applaud.
00:32:58.620They did not cheer that we should stand against radical racist baby killers.
00:33:05.940He also, Netanyahu, also slammed the protesters.
00:33:08.880Another example of the radical Democrats and how they're in favor of those that support Hamas and Hezbollah, an actual...
00:33:16.860I mean, these are terrorist organizations that butchered Jews for sport and are calling for the annihilation of every Jewish person from the river to the sea.
00:33:33.220The anti-Israel protests that are going on right now outside this building, not that many, but they're there and throughout the city.
00:33:42.300Well, I have a message for these protesters.
00:33:44.580When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, are praising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots.
00:35:17.200Number one, I am not saying that Kamala Harris was at Union Station pulling down the American flag, lighting it on fire, and pulling up a Palestinian flag on the flagpole.
00:35:30.500But understand that she has far greater sympathies for the radicals who did that than she does for Prime Minister Netanyahu, the elected leader of Israel.
00:35:41.540There's a reason she boycotted, because she and the Democrats, they want the votes of these anti-American, anti-Semites.
00:35:51.160Secondly, why was this allowed to happen?
00:35:54.400It was allowed to happen because the Democrat mayor in D.C. let it happen, because we didn't see law enforcement.
00:36:01.800If this happened in Texas, if you tried to do that in Texas, you know what they'd do?
00:36:05.360They'd arrest you and put you in jail.
00:36:06.920The Democrats in office, they are siding with the protesters, and they hate Prime Minister Netanyahu, and sadly, many of them hate Israel just as much as these rabid protesters.
00:36:19.680There's also the left that's behind it.
00:36:22.440You know, these agitators were being seen being dropped off by buses before the protests.
00:36:28.780Yeah, I was going to say, who paid for them, right?
00:36:31.440That's a fair question that should be asked, like, who was paying for all these people to show up there?
00:36:35.880It's the radical lefts, I'm sure, and the Democratic Party, but this is the base.
00:36:41.000And for Kamala Harris to not be there when Netanyahu arrived tells you how anti-Israel they are, how much they just can't stand the Jews.
00:36:53.080Joe Biden has been the most anti-Israel president in American history, but if, God forbid, Kamala Harris becomes president, she will be orders of magnitude worse.
00:37:04.700And by the way, it's striking also, so we'll do another pod and we'll talk about possible VP nominees under Harris.
00:37:13.160I think it's going to be the most boring white guy on the face of the planet.
00:37:16.940I think the two most likely, which we've talked about, are Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, and Mark Kelly, senator from Arizona.
00:37:24.320But it's interesting, this week, CNN, in covering the VP's sweepstakes, they just, matter of fact, John King, just matter of fact, said, well, Shapiro has a problem, which is he's Jewish in the Democrat primary, in the Democrat Party.
00:37:41.140And CNN just reports that as a fact, that there are so many anti-Semites among the Democrat Party, that being a Jew is a real problem if you're the Democrat nominee.
00:37:55.560And my final question for you on this is, you see Netanyahu here, you see the impact these stories should have had on the people in the hall, you see the left that they're just saying, look, this is not who we are, we can't stand the Jews, we can't stand Israel, we're not going to support them.
00:38:15.480We're going to either not show up, we're going to protest.
00:38:18.380I mean, you've got the, look at this, you've got Netanyahu, head of a state, arriving in the U.S.
00:38:23.960Neither Biden or Harris nor Anthony Blinken were there to greet him.
00:38:27.020That's a middle finger to Netanyahu and to Israel, make no mistake about it, and that was done deliberately on purpose.
00:38:33.720So how much of a campaign issue should this be for the Trump campaign?
00:38:40.060Look, it should be a very significant issue because Americans' lives have been made worse by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' radical agenda, and the world has been made less safe.
00:38:50.880Your family's less safe, your kids are less safe with the open borders and the invasion we've seen, but the world is less safe as they've undermined our friends and allies, including especially Israel,
00:38:59.840and they've given over $100 billion to the Ayatollah Khamenei, to the nation of Iran that is the leading funder of Hamas and Hezbollah, and is actively trying to kill Americans and Israelis.
00:39:13.340That is a major campaign issue, and I'll tell you, yesterday afternoon, after Bibi's speech, I went and sat down with him, had a one-on-one meeting.
00:39:21.860He's staying at the Watergate, so I had to drive across town to go meet with him.
00:39:25.360Now, I'll tell you, it took an hour to get from the capital to the Watergate because the protesters, there were so many streets closed down that there was so much law enforcement that it just took an hour to go what would ordinarily take just a few minutes to get to.
00:39:41.140When we got there, now I will say, arriving at the Watergate, I was sort of amused, going, you know, the last time a Cuban arrived at the Watergate, it kind of made some news.
00:39:51.280You know, I told my team when we go in, we need to put duct tape on the door latches and go in secretly at night.
00:40:14.020And I told him, look, the most important part of your speech, there were two things.
00:40:17.880Number one, you addressed and directly took on the lies that are being spread, that Israel is committing genocide, that Israel is targeting civilians.
00:41:06.140And sadly, when it comes to Kamala Harris and the radical Democrats, between the Israeli defense forces and the radical terrorists, they routinely side with the radicals.
00:41:19.020And in fact, their position is trying to do everything they can to pressure Israel to stop killing the terrorists.
00:41:26.240I want them to kill as many terrorists as possible because it helps Israel.
00:41:34.580But don't forget, Senator Cruz and I do this show Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
