0:57

example, this debate could be an inflection point.

1:00

The other big inflection point, obviously, could be

1:02

the possibility of Donald Trump having to

1:04

serve jail time in the middle of the election cycle. We're

1:06

not going to find that out until the middle of July.

1:08

And then the third possible inflection point is

1:11

a health crisis involving Joe Biden. And we're

1:13

not going to know anything about what happens with those latter

1:15

two until they actually happen. But the thing we know is

1:17

going to happen is this debate. And make no mistake,

1:20

this race is extraordinarily tight. Really, really, really.

1:24

The fact is that the state level polls that we've been

1:26

seeing have not been updated, many of them since May. Most

1:28

of them are within the margin of error. The national polling

1:30

is all within the margin of error. And

1:33

so this race could really go either way. I

1:35

know there are a lot of Republicans who are

1:37

pretty sanguine about the possibility of Trump winning reelection over

1:40

Biden because they look at Biden and they say, how can

1:42

anyone vote for that guy? And there are a lot of

1:44

Biden voters who are pretty sanguine about the possibility of Biden beating Trump

1:46

because they think, how can anybody vote for that guy? And

1:48

they say, how can anyone vote for that guy? And

1:50

there are a lot of Biden voters who are pretty sanguine about

1:52

the possibility of Biden beating Trump. And they say, how can anybody

1:55

vote for that guy? And then there's

1:57

a huge chunk of the American population that goes, why are either of these

1:59

guys on the stage? That's not what matters. What

2:01

matters is that in this debate, we

2:03

are going to get a pretty clear

2:05

picture of the future trajectory of this

2:08

race. And I would say at

2:10

this point, they're much more revolves around Trump's performance

2:12

than revolves around Biden's performance. In other words, Trump

2:14

has much more to lose in this debate than

2:16

Joe Biden. Everyone perceives Joe Biden

2:19

for what he is. A bad president

2:21

who's terrible at his job, who's extremely old,

2:23

who may not be mentally all there, but

2:25

he can surpass expectations because of that.

2:28

All Joe Biden has to do is show up, speak

2:31

even somewhat coherently and not literally fall over. And

2:33

the expectations bar has been set so low by

2:35

the Trump campaign in the media that that will

2:37

then be deemed a big Biden win. For Trump,

2:40

he has to buck a bunch of factors. He

2:42

has to buck the fact that the moderators hate

2:44

his guts and want him not to be reelected.

2:46

They think he is an actual hit, lirian figure.

2:50

He has to buck the fact that there's no audience

2:52

in the room. Donald Trump thrives on audience. He

2:54

responds to the audience. The fact that it's going to

2:56

be a quiet studio is going to be a problem

2:58

for him. The fact that the

3:00

mics are muted. Some people think that

3:03

might help Trump because it'll prevent him from talking over Biden. But

3:05

I think Trump probably learned his lesson

3:07

from the first debate in the last election cycle. The

3:09

problem with the mics being muted is that Trump can't

3:11

jump in and get in these sort of quick quips

3:13

that he famously used against Hillary Clinton, like the one

3:16

where he suggested if your president should go to jail.

3:18

Right. It's very famous quip that he used in 2016.

3:21

So there are a lot of factors that are stacked against Trump here. And

3:24

the biggest factor that is stacked against Trump

3:26

is Trump himself, because obviously Trump's tendency is

3:28

to go extremely hard and extremely aggressive to

3:30

defend everything he has ever done. And in

3:33

reality, what he needs to be here is

3:35

cool and calm and collected and meticulous in

3:37

his attack on Joe Biden's presidency. Because if

3:39

this is a referendum on Joe Biden's presidency,

3:42

Joe Biden loses. And if this is a

3:44

referendum on Donald Trump's character and his foibles,

3:46

then probably Trump loses. So

3:48

the new polling suggests, again, a slight

3:51

shift in the national polling toward Joe Biden.

3:54

Presumably, since Trump's criminal conviction, it isn't all

3:56

within the margin of error. So it is

3:58

not just positive by any. stretch

4:00

of the imagination. Democrats

4:02

are making a big deal out of a new Fox

4:05

News poll that shows a three point change from the

4:07

last poll. Again, this is all within margin of error.

4:09

So back in March, Trump was leading Biden in the

4:11

Fox News poll 50 to 45. In

4:14

May, he was leading 49-48, which is

4:16

effectively a dead heat. And today, Biden is

4:18

leading 50 to 48, which again is effectively

4:21

a dead heat because the margin of error

4:23

in this poll is larger than the margin

4:25

of Joe Biden's lead. However,

4:27

that has been mirrored by some other

4:29

polls. Five-thirty-eight national average now has Joe

4:31

Biden like point one ahead of Donald

4:33

Trump. Now, that doesn't really matter so

4:35

much because that's going to be the popular vote. And

4:38

in reality, Donald Trump lost the popular vote in

4:40

the last election cycle by seven million, and then

4:42

he barely barely barely lost the election by a

4:44

handful of votes in a handful of states. So

4:46

the swing states matter a lot more, but the

4:49

polling in the swing states has been fairly erratic.

4:51

There's not tons of polling in the swing states

4:53

right now. Robinhood has set new

4:55

standards for low margin rates on average over 40%

4:57

lower than leading brokerages. Robinhood's new low of 6.75%

4:59

is blowing competitors out of the water.

5:03

They're even undercutting their own low rate offering an

5:05

astounding 5.7% rate on margin balances of $50 million

5:07

or more. The

5:25

important details. Robinhood financial member SIPC.

5:28

So if you take for example, the polling in

5:30

Wisconsin, the last polling that

5:32

was done in Wisconsin was a poll

5:34

from the Hill Emerson. Hey,

5:36

that one just came out and it shows

5:38

Trump up three points in Wisconsin. But before

5:40

that the last polling wasn't like mid-May from

5:43

morning consult. So just to aren't that many

5:45

polls in these swing states. So that means you have to take

5:47

everything with a bit of a grain of salt. The same thing

5:49

is true when you look at Michigan. The Hill

5:51

Emerson currently has Donald Trump up one in

5:53

Michigan, which again is well within the margin

5:55

of error. The prior polls are

5:57

from early June and have it tied. or

6:00

from May, where you variously have

6:02

Trump up or down. In other words, every single

6:04

state is shaking out as some sort of dead

6:07

heat. Now, do I think that that's realistic? I

6:09

actually don't. I think one of the things

6:12

that's happening is that pollsters in a frenzy

6:14

not to be caught out are following each

6:16

other. Because it turns out that when you

6:18

compose your sample, one of the things that you do is

6:20

you try to figure out exactly who is going to vote

6:22

and who's not. It's not an exact science. There's a little

6:24

bit of an art to how you

6:27

construct your polling sample, who

6:29

gets polled, who's considered a likely

6:31

voter versus who's considered just a registered voter.

6:33

Now, all of these are serious questions. What is the electorate going to

6:36

look like? No one knows what the electorate is gonna look like. It's

6:38

gonna look like the 2000 electorate, the

6:40

2004, 2008, 2012, 2016. All

6:43

of those electorates are slightly different in terms of turnout

6:45

picture. So what that means

6:47

is that I think what you're seeing is some grouping. I think

6:49

you're seeing a lot of the pollsters who are following each other

6:51

because they don't wanna appear outside the pack. You don't wanna see

6:53

a poll with your name on it

6:55

that has Joe Biden up seven in Michigan or something.

6:58

Because that's going to appear an outlier and then

7:00

you're gonna get bashed around the clock for being

7:02

an outlier poll. The one thing that is consistent

7:04

in some of these national polls is a bit

7:06

of a shift among independents from Donald Trump to

7:09

Joe Biden. So in this Fox

7:11

News poll, Biden receives the backing of 73%

7:13

of black voters, which is a terrible

7:15

number for Joe Biden. Trump is

7:17

doing well among men plus 15, rural voters plus 17, white

7:20

men without a degree plus 30, and white evangelical

7:22

Christians plus 46. Joe

7:24

Biden is showing surprisingly strong among older

7:26

voters. Above age 65, maybe

7:29

because he's perceived as sort of that

7:31

cohort in a way that Trump isn't. Plus

7:33

15, he's up 17 with women. I

7:36

mean, one of the untold stories of American

7:38

politics and frankly American society is this vast

7:40

political gap that is emerging between men and

7:43

single women particularly in the United States and it

7:45

has some pretty severe social ramifications. Also,

7:48

obviously he's leading with white women with a college degree.

7:51

That's kind of Joe Biden's coalition. But

7:54

the important thing in this

7:56

survey is that independents

7:58

now favor Joe Biden. That is

8:00

a shift from May when they favor Trump by two. So

8:04

that's an 11 point shift away from

8:06

Trump toward Biden among independents, which

8:08

is a little bit disquieting for the Trump campaign. Now,

8:10

again, you can look at the new Emerson poll and you can

8:12

suddenly see some good news for Trump. According

8:15

to the Emerson poll, and to be fair, Emerson College's poll

8:17

is considered a bit of an outlier. It has

8:20

Trump up four in Arizona, four in Georgia, one in

8:22

Michigan, tied in Minnesota, which is crazy. Trump up three

8:24

in Nevada, Trump up two in Pennsylvania, and Trump up

8:26

three in Wisconsin. So leading in all the swing states.

8:30

And there is a New York Times article out today

8:32

talking about how Biden's lead with women is smaller than

8:34

Trump's with men, and that's a warning for Democrats. According

8:37

to Ruth Aguilmic, who

8:39

covers polling for the New York Times, she

8:41

says, Mr. Biden's lead among women has slid to about

8:44

eight percentage points since the 2020 election, according

8:46

to an average of more than 30 polls conducted over

8:48

the last six months and compiled by the New York

8:50

Times. That's down from a lead among women of about

8:52

13 percentage points four years ago. Meanwhile,

8:55

since the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump's support

8:57

among men has recovered and is back to double

8:59

digit leads that he had in 2016. Biden's

9:03

drop in support has been particularly pronounced among black and

9:05

Hispanic women. So those white college educated

9:07

lefties, they're still voting for Joe Biden, but there are a

9:09

lot of black and Hispanic women who are not so enamored

9:13

of Joe Biden. Furthermore, new

9:15

polling data, as reported by

9:17

Axios, an Equus poll, found it's a

9:19

poll of almost 1,600 registered Latino voters in seven battleground

9:21

states, and it found

9:23

that 41% of Hispanic voters trust Trump on

9:26

immigration compared to 38% for Joe Biden. So

9:30

those are terrible numbers, obviously, for Joe Biden.

9:33

I guess what I'm saying here is anybody who is telling you they

9:35

know definitively who is going to be president right now is lying to

9:37

you. Anybody who even says that

9:39

one candidate over the other is heavily favored to

9:41

be president at this point is lying to you.

9:45

Donald Trump has a lot of entrenched problems about him.

9:48

Joe Biden has a lot of entrenched problems about him. Now,

9:52

it seems to me that there are only

9:54

two things that sort of exogenously could

9:56

affect the race, as opposed to,

9:58

you know, the sort of criminal. conviction stuff or

10:00

in a health event in terms of general world

10:03

politics. Only a few things could affect the race.

10:05

One would be if the American people start to

10:07

perceive that the economy is doing better. If they

10:09

start to perceive the economy is doing well, maybe

10:11

you see some of them lighten up on Biden

10:13

and shift back into Biden's camp. The

10:16

other is if there's a major international conflagration

10:18

or serious terrorist attack on American soil that's

10:20

going to cut very much in Trump's favor

10:22

because it's going to expose the weakness of

10:24

Joe Biden's foreign policy. Meanwhile,

10:26

in terms of the actual debate itself, RFK

10:31

has now officially failed to qualify for the debate, so

10:33

he will not be on the stage despite the fact

10:35

that in most of the polling, he's currently averaging about

10:37

10 percent in the polls, which is the

10:39

best third party showing for any candidate since Ross Perot.

10:42

CNN posted the announcement shortly after midnight on Thursday

10:44

morning, saying that Biden and Trump were heading for

10:46

a historic showdown with the stage now set for

10:48

their June 27th meeting. The

10:51

debate qualification window is closed. Kennedy

10:53

was not on enough ballots. In

10:56

order to in order to be allowed into

10:58

the debate, the

11:00

polling threshold required a candidate to receive at least 15 percent

11:03

support in four separate national qualified polls of

11:05

registered or likely voters. He did not have

11:07

that. He only had three. And he was

11:09

on less than a third of the ballots in

11:11

the various states that you would need in

11:13

order to participate in the actual race. I

11:16

mean, it's worth noting at this point that the only

11:19

states where he's officially on the ballot at this point

11:21

are California, Delaware, Hawaii, Michigan, Oklahoma and Utah. Literally the

11:23

only state there that's a swing state in any way,

11:25

shape or form is Michigan. So

11:28

how are the two candidates prepping for the debate? Well,

11:30

Joe Biden is doing what he traditionally does. He's going

11:32

to head on up to Camp David. He

11:34

is going to hunker down there. He's

11:38

going to drink some ensure he's going to

11:40

get big sleep. He's going to order

11:42

in from Denny's, watch some Matlock. Apparently,

11:45

according to ABC News, the

11:48

famous rustic retreat in the Maryland mountains has hosted

11:50

many debate boot camps during election years. Biden hopes

11:52

to make the most of its secluded setting in

11:54

the days before heading to the June 27th debate

11:56

hosted by CNN in Atlanta. The

11:58

campaign said Biden is preparing ways to hold Trump

12:01

accountable on the debate stage for his track record

12:03

and remarks he has made on topics from reproductive

12:05

rights to the economy, including his comment that he

12:07

will be a dictator on day one. The

12:10

Biden is preparing for all scenarios. Some Biden advisors said they

12:12

believe Trump will be a more disciplined version of himself on

12:14

stage. Sources familiar with Biden's team's planning

12:16

also said they believe Trump is preparing more than

12:19

he's letting on, which would make sense considering

12:21

that he is not letting on that he's preparing at all.

12:23

The Trump team is saying that he's not even prepping for the debate, which of

12:25

course I don't think is true. So

12:29

meanwhile, I guess it's Ron Klain who's going

12:31

to be leading the sort of

12:33

debate prep. We'll see how that works out

12:35

for him. Other senior campaign aides and longtime

12:37

advisors, including Cedric Richmond, will also

12:40

be on hand apparently. Klain

12:42

led Hillary's prep in 2016, Obama's in 28 in 2012, and Kerry's in 2004.

12:46

So that's a pretty mixed record for Ron

12:48

Klain in terms of debate prep. And meanwhile,

12:51

Donald Trump has been talking

12:53

about how exactly he is prepping. But

12:57

apparently he says that he is not really going

12:59

to be doing prep sessions in the same ways.

13:02

According to CNN, some of his debate prep is focused

13:04

less on policy and more on rhetoric. Trump has previously

13:06

struggled with policy debates, instead preferring to meander and generalize,

13:09

especially without a teleprompter. I love that this is CNN.

13:11

This is the actual network that's going to be holding

13:13

the debate. They're saying that

13:15

Trump meanders and wanders. Have you

13:17

met Joe Biden? That dude has

13:19

never met a straightforward sentence. His

13:22

sentences are nigh melvillian. I mean,

13:25

they're all over the damn place. Trying to

13:27

follow Joe Biden's line of thought is

13:30

like it's like trying to

13:32

solve an MC Escher puzzle. It's

13:34

a bizarro world. Robinhood has

13:36

set new standards for low margin rates on

13:38

average over 40 percent lower than leading brokerages.

13:40

Robinhood's new low of 6.75 percent

13:43

is blowing competitors out of the water. They're

13:45

even undercutting their own low rate, offering an

13:47

astounding 5.7 percent rate on margin

13:49

balances of 50 million dollars or

13:52

more. The lowest margin rate is

14:10

CNN again, this is what Trump is up against.

14:12

He's up against the moderators for sure. Apparently,

14:16

he is going to be prepping by having

14:19

some sort of policy

14:21

meetings. According to

14:23

CNN, he has deployed the help of some of

14:26

his top contenders for VP as well as senators, policy experts,

14:28

and outside allies to help brief him ahead of next week's

14:30

debate. Apparently, he has

14:32

participated in roughly a dozen of these private

14:34

meetings dubbed as informal policy discussions by his

14:36

campaign. The subjects of the meetings have

14:39

ranged from sharpening his message on the economy, the

14:41

border, and crime to his views on abortion, the

14:43

wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and how

14:45

to best frame his May 30th conviction on business

14:47

fraud. So he's

14:49

been basically meeting with all of these people,

14:51

but they're not doing mock debates, apparently. In

14:54

2020, Trump did mock debates with Chris Christie, the

14:56

round mound of rebound. That didn't work out amazing

14:58

for him. On the Biden side, they've been casting

15:01

for a Trump stand-in. Apparently, Biden's

15:03

personal lawyer may be reprising his

15:05

role from 2020 when

15:07

he did the same sort of thing. How does it

15:09

going to be heightening expectations for Biden on the Trump

15:11

side? Trump has done, I think, a bad job on

15:13

his side of increasing expectations for Biden. He needs to

15:15

spend the next week saying, Joe Biden is going to

15:17

be up there prepping. They're going to give him whatever

15:19

he has to do to get on stage. Not going to

15:22

speculate on what that is. He will be awake. He'll be

15:24

there. And so he is going

15:26

to be a tough debater because we saw

15:28

last time that he can still debate. He's going

15:30

to have to say that. Meanwhile,

15:32

Joe Biden is going to have to somehow

15:34

raise the bar for Trump. Now,

15:37

the thing is, again, with regard to raising the bar for Trump,

15:39

I'm not sure how much Biden has to do that because everybody

15:41

sort of expects that Biden is going to collapse on stage. However,

15:44

today, I wanted to go through the way

15:46

that Trump really should handle the debate. We

15:48

know what Biden's strategy is going to be.

15:50

He's basically said it out loud. And so

15:52

some of this is going to be offensive and some of this is

15:55

going to be defensive. The big thing

15:57

for Trump is that he has to shift every Biden attack

15:59

back in the election. into a jujitsu attack

16:01

on Joe Biden. So

16:03

before he even starts, he needs to lead off

16:05

by setting the predicate for the debate. He

16:08

needs to say, Joe Biden is a dishonest man.

16:10

He's dishonest. He lied to you in the last round

16:12

of debates I did with him. You'll recall

16:15

that in the last round of debates, he

16:17

openly stated that the Hunter Biden laptop was

16:19

Russian disinformation. That Hunter had never

16:21

taken any money from any Chinese source, for example. Those

16:24

were lies. Joe Biden lies to you all the

16:26

time. Joe Biden lies to you about the economy.

16:28

Joe Biden lies to you about illegal immigration. Joe

16:30

Biden lies to you about foreign policy. Joe Biden

16:32

lies to you about the solidity of the withdrawal

16:34

from Afghanistan. Joe Biden is a liar. So what

16:36

he says up here on the stage cannot be

16:38

trusted because he is not a trustworthy figure. He

16:42

should lead off with that. Because again, that sets

16:44

the groundwork for the fact that when Joe Biden

16:46

says things that are not true, Donald

16:48

Trump can say, right, because he's lying. That's

16:50

not true. Okay, the

16:52

second piece of groundwork that Trump needs to set

16:54

about Joe Biden is that Joe Biden is tyrannical,

16:57

that he has used the power of the executive

16:59

branch in unprecedented ways. He has had more executive

17:01

orders than any president in modern history. He

17:04

has used the power of the presidency in

17:06

order to, in his own words, avoid the

17:08

rulings of the Supreme Court. He

17:11

has threatened 80 million Americans

17:13

with vaccine mandates. He said he would

17:15

not initiate. He

17:17

has shut down state attempts to close the southern

17:19

border. Joe Biden is

17:21

tyrannical. Joe Biden does not

17:23

care about the boundaries of government. And he

17:26

can pretend he's standing up here for democracy,

17:28

but he thwarts democracy with every step he

17:30

takes. And finally, Joe Biden

17:32

is an incompetent rube of a president. He is

17:34

terrible at being president. He has brought

17:36

you 40-year inflation. Wages have not had

17:38

pace. That inflation is

17:40

now embedded in the economy. He

17:43

has brought you a foreign policy that

17:45

is so disastrous. There are now two massive

17:47

ongoing configurations across the world. Plus, you have

17:50

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping

17:52

all hanging out together and plotting their next

17:54

moves. The enemies of the

17:56

United States lick their lips when they see Joe Biden in

17:58

the White House. So those are the

18:00

three things that Donald Trump should set up as the predicate,

18:02

but those should be the themes of the debate that Joe

18:05

Biden is one, a liar,

18:07

two, tyrannical and three, incompetent.

18:10

Those are the three things to know about your mind. Notice

18:12

none of those things are about a senility. That's something for

18:15

everyone else to notice. And there

18:17

are subtle ways, of course, that Trump can point this

18:19

out. I've said, for example, that

18:22

if Joe Biden comes to the end of an answer, but he

18:24

has time left on the clock, like a minute left on the

18:26

clock, which will undoubtedly happen. And he did it a lot during

18:28

the last round of primary debates, even in 2016. And

18:31

now it's hard for him to keep it together. If you get past

18:33

minute 50, he's going to start to fade. He always starts off strong

18:36

in these things. And then he starts to fade. If

18:38

you get to minute 60 of the debate and Joe

18:40

Biden has two minutes on the clock to respond to

18:42

something and he uses 45 seconds of it. And

18:44

then he says, well, anyway, I don't want to get

18:47

into that. And then the moderators

18:49

turn to Trump from say, you know, Joe, you

18:52

have a minute left on the clock. I really think

18:54

the American people deserve to hear your thoughts. It'll

18:56

completely throw Biden. He won't know what to do with it.

19:00

It'll be a great moment for Trump. I'm just telling you, that's what,

19:02

that's what Trump should do. Okay. Now onto the

19:04

actual issue. So we know the lines of attack

19:06

that are going to be used by Joe Biden

19:08

because he said them, his campaign has said

19:10

them. The number one line of attack, of course, of

19:12

course, of course, it's going to be January 6th. He

19:15

believes that this is his Trump card. He believes

19:17

that this is his get out of jail free

19:19

card. His reelect card is just saying January 6th

19:21

over and over and over. And

19:27

what Donald Trump needs to say is, listen,

19:30

Joe, you and I disagree on what happened in the 2020

19:32

election. I, for example, think

19:34

that your party rigged many of the voting

19:36

rules in advance of the election in order

19:38

to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots,

19:40

ballot harvesting. I think that you worked with

19:42

the media in order to prevent the dissemination

19:44

of a story about Hunter Biden's laptop in

19:46

the last month of the election. And you

19:48

and your son, knowing that the laptop was

19:50

real, lied about it to the American people.

19:53

We can disagree about what happened in 2020. But

19:56

none of that matters to the American people because right

19:58

now the calendar reads 20. It

20:00

reads June 27, 2024. No

20:03

one in America is thinking about January 6th. And

20:05

the only reason you are is because you are

20:08

a cynical actor attempting to avoid the consequences of

20:10

your own failed presidency. In

20:13

other words, January 6 happened three years ago. And

20:16

the number of Americans who are thinking about January 6

20:18

is relegated to Joe Biden and his campaign. Most

20:21

Americans are concerned about how they put food on the

20:23

table today. And that's your fault because you're the president.

20:26

It doesn't matter who I think won the presidency. You

20:29

are the president. You've been the president since January 2021.

20:32

And you've been terrible at it. That's the answer

20:34

SIPC. The second issue

21:10

that Joe Biden presumably is going to bring up

21:12

is a corollary of the first and that is

21:15

this threat to democracy stuff. So

21:17

Joe Biden keeps saying, no Republicans

21:19

are the right. He's

21:22

going to talk again about January 6th. He's

21:24

going to suggest that Trump wants to overrun the election, that he's

21:27

threatened to be a dictator on day one, all the rest of

21:29

this sort of stuff. The dictator on day one thing is just

21:31

a lie. What

21:33

Donald Trump did is he joked about being

21:35

a dictator on day one saying that he

21:38

was going to effectively reverse

21:40

Joe Biden's executive actions. That's

21:43

literally what he said. He said, he was asked, will

21:45

you be a dictator? He said, I won't be except on

21:47

day one. When I'm going to reverse the executive actions on

21:49

illegal immigration, then I won't be. He's

21:51

joking. That's not dictatorial unless you

21:54

also believe that it's dictatorial for Joe

21:56

Biden to do what he's done on the border. In

21:58

fact, there's much more legal authority. for Donald Trump

22:00

to shut down the border, then there is legal

22:03

authority for Joe Biden to simply not enforce immigration

22:05

law. So Trump's proper

22:07

response on the threat to democracy stuff is twofold

22:09

first. He should say, Joe, you keep saying

22:11

my threats to democracy because I don't believe I lost the

22:13

2020 election. Well, I noticed that

22:15

Hillary Clinton doesn't believe she lost the 2016 election, and

22:18

that's apparently just fine. And

22:20

she keeps saying that it was Russian disinformation or that I

22:22

stole the 2016 election. You

22:24

seem just fine with that, totally fine with that. Half your

22:26

party is fine with that. But put that

22:29

aside, in reality, you are the threat to

22:31

democracy. Democracy means in the

22:33

United States, a democratic republic, with

22:35

two elected branches of the legislature

22:38

who are supposed to initiate bills, and then you

22:40

are supposed to effectuate those bills once you have

22:42

signed them. And that is not how you have

22:45

run the government. In reality, you've

22:47

sicked your political allies on me in the

22:49

courts. You've had your party's

22:51

members, from New York to

22:53

DC, to Florida, to

22:56

Atlanta, sicked upon me

22:58

for political reasons. I had zero

23:00

criminal investigations into me for

23:02

my entire life, and I'm into

23:05

my eighth decade of life until

23:07

I decided to run for reelection, at which point the

23:10

House fell in on me. I don't

23:12

think that's a coincidence. So I want you to

23:14

explain, Joe, why it is that your DOJ let

23:16

you off the hook and

23:18

tried to cut a sweetheart deal of Hunter before they were caught, but

23:21

has been sicked on me in every jurisdiction you

23:23

can find. Does that sound democratic

23:26

to you? Trying to

23:28

use the courts to go after your political

23:31

opponent? You used OSHA to mandate vaccines for

23:33

80 million Americans, violated the Constitution to try

23:35

to allow people to skate on their student

23:37

loan debt, so you can let a blue

23:40

collar plumber pay for the tuition in the

23:42

future of some gender theory major over at

23:44

Wellesley. You violated your

23:46

constitutional oath by keeping the border open

23:48

and letting through at least seven million

23:50

illegal immigrants. That sounds

23:52

like a threat to democracy to me. And

23:55

you're baking all of these regulations into the

23:57

administrative state, so even if I'm elected, it

23:59

makes it difficult. for me to change our policy.

24:02

You have effectuated the establishment of a

24:04

fourth unelected branch of government, independent

24:07

of even the executive, unless the executive happens to

24:09

be a Democrat. Okay,

24:12

so that is response number

24:14

one to the democracy issue. The other

24:17

one is he

24:19

should say, listen, I joked about using executive orders on

24:21

my first day in office. You

24:23

have been a dictator the entirety of your

24:25

presidency. Like you haven't

24:28

just been a dictator on day one. You've been a dictator the

24:30

whole time. And then you should list off

24:32

the litany again. Hey,

24:34

Ned, you have issue number three and that's the

24:36

criminal conviction. So at some point during this debate,

24:38

Joe Biden is gonna bring up, oh, I'm running

24:40

against a convicted felon up here. Now,

24:44

Maggie Haberman suggests that Trump is gonna bring up Hunter

24:47

in this context, that your son is also a convicted

24:49

felon. I think that's a mistake. The reason I think

24:51

that's a mistake is because the minute that he does,

24:54

then Biden is gonna say, I respect the

24:56

justice system for my own son. So

24:59

I certainly respect it for you. Right,

25:01

that's what he's gonna say. So Trump

25:03

will be walking into a trap if he does that. If

25:05

he brings up the fact that Hunter is a convicted felon,

25:07

then Biden will throw his own son under the bus. He

25:09

just will. You know he will. Because

25:11

in the end, Joe Biden is a very, very

25:13

ambitious man, which is how you become president of

25:15

the United States and the Democratic Party. So he's

25:18

gonna say, as he's already said, I believe in

25:20

the justice system, the justice system that has

25:22

had my son as guilty. And even if

25:24

I disagree, that's the way it is. And the

25:26

justice system said you're guilty. And I believe in

25:28

that same justice system. So if he

25:30

cites Hunter, it's gonna be a mistake. Maggie Haberman,

25:32

who sort of has a window into Trump. She's

25:34

been covering him for a long time. Some of

25:36

the leaks to Maggie Haberman have come from a

25:39

man whose name rhymes with Donald Trump. In any case,

25:41

here's Maggie Haberman suggesting that Trump will bring up Hunter

25:43

if Biden hits him on the convictions. There

25:45

are things that I think he can speak to about policy,

25:47

but there's also a lot of stuff that is going to

25:50

be a problem for him. You know, the January 6th related

25:52

questions, I think, are going to be a

25:55

problem. The pardon's question is going to

25:57

be a problem. His promise is a retribution.

26:00

are going to be a problem when

26:02

those come up. And I anticipate President

26:04

Biden will reference his criminal conviction. Now,

26:06

I'm quite confident based on my reporting

26:08

that Donald Trump will then point to

26:10

Hunter Biden's criminal conviction. And this

26:12

could be an uglier debate than we have seen in a very

26:14

long time. Okay, so, yeah,

26:16

again, I think that'd be a mistake. We'll get to more on

26:18

this in just one second. First, the cost of living is up

26:20

almost 20% from 2021. Families

26:23

everywhere are feeling that burden. And yet, legacy media

26:25

keeps saying, no, the economy's fine, it's Joe Biden's

26:28

economy, it's just great. In fact, a recent Business

26:30

Insider article makes the case. The American people are

26:32

to blame because they just don't understand how awesome

26:34

they have it. This is Gaslighting 101. Let

26:37

me help you find ways to save money in this turbulent

26:39

economic climate. One way to do that is by switching on

26:41

over to PureTalk. If you're one of many American families looking

26:43

to cut down on your monthly bills, you need to start

26:45

with your cell phone service. I recommend PureTalk because

26:47

it's both affordable and reliable. PureTalk is rapidly

26:49

becoming the wireless company of choice for conservatives.

26:52

Plus, it's great for families because the more

26:54

lines you add, the more you save. Not

26:56

to mention, PureTalk is veteran-led. Instead of funding

26:58

DEI initiatives, they fund basic services for vets

27:00

who have served this country. 100%

27:02

of their customer service team is located right

27:04

here in the United States. If you're looking

27:06

for ways to save money for your family,

27:08

I highly recommend switching on over to PureTalk.

27:26

That's puretalk.com/Shapiro today. Democrats

27:28

are prepping for this, right? They are. That's

27:31

why Mika Brzezinski is out there saying, the convicted felon

27:33

plays dirty. He plays ugly. There's a way for Trump

27:35

to play this where it's not dirty and ugly. It's

27:37

just actually pointed.

27:40

But here's Mika Brzezinski again. They're setting up the expectation,

27:42

which is that Trump is gonna be mean to the

27:44

old man. So mean. In

27:46

reality, Trump doesn't have to be mean. All

27:48

Trump has to do is be factual. Here's

27:51

Mika Brzezinski setting the groundwork for

27:53

the Biden team's strategy here. I

27:56

mean, you already saw Donald Trump on stage suggesting

27:58

that President Biden is not going to win. President

28:00

Biden will be on cocaine. To

28:02

back up the point I'll make here, this

28:05

individual, this candidate, this convicted

28:07

felon plays dirty. He

28:10

plays ugly. He's done it many times

28:12

in the past. We could spend the next three

28:14

and a half hours listing his lies. We wouldn't

28:16

get through them. Okay, so

28:19

what should Trump actually respond if they bring up

28:21

the criminal conviction? What he should say is, Joe,

28:23

you're right. I was convicted by a

28:25

Democrat judge and a Democrat prosecutor

28:28

who coordinated to set up a series of

28:30

specious charges in a district that

28:32

you won overwhelmingly in an extraordinarily blue district

28:34

in Manhattan, which is why the case was

28:36

filed there. You're right. I

28:39

was convicted in that case. At least

28:41

I was found competent to stand trial.

28:43

Your own Department of Justice refused to

28:45

prosecute you for mishandling of classified information,

28:48

for keeping classified documents in your drawers,

28:50

telling your ghostwriter about it, keeping them

28:52

in your car, in your garage. Your

28:56

own DOJ refused to prosecute you

28:58

because they effectively found that

29:00

you are too old and

29:02

too wavering mentally for a

29:04

jury to convict you. That is the

29:06

actual rationale set up by your own Justice Department for

29:08

not. So at least I was found mentally competent to

29:10

stand trial. That's the least you can say about me.

29:13

Your own DOJ effectively said you were not there.

29:17

And so the jury would find you innocent because they felt bad

29:19

for you because you're just too old. And

29:21

now your own DOJ is stonewalling. They won't even

29:24

release the tape of you talking to them for

29:26

a prolonged period of time. Why?

29:29

Answer it, Joe. Why? Why won't

29:31

your DOJ, why don't you authorize your DOJ to

29:34

release the tape? You say that Robert Herr was

29:36

targeting you and you lied about that because we

29:38

saw the transcript. So why won't

29:40

you, you're the president, why don't you, and

29:42

you're the guy who's the subject of the

29:44

interview, you can release the tape today, release

29:46

the tape, release the tape. If you say

29:48

that you are so with it and

29:50

that Robert Herr's a liar about your mental status,

29:52

why not just release the tape in the interview?

29:55

There's literally nothing in there that we don't already

29:57

know about what you said. We've seen the transcript

29:59

release the tape. That's

30:01

the direction that Trump should take when they bring up the

30:03

criminal convection. He should go directly at Biden and not at

30:05

Hunter. It's a mistake to go at Hunter. Okay.

30:09

Finally, the issue of style. So

30:11

this is going to be the biggest thing for Trump, obviously,

30:13

because he's going to have to contain himself. And

30:17

when Trump contains himself, he can be quite good at this.

30:20

The truth is that in debates, Trump

30:22

has historically done well in

30:25

situations in which he has

30:27

been more contained. But remember the debates with

30:29

Hillary, he actually was more contained. The

30:31

last debate with Biden, he was more contained in 2020. Everyone

30:34

remembers the first one because it was disastrous for him.

30:36

The second one, he probably won because he was more

30:38

contained. Maggie Habermann, again,

30:41

she says that Trump knows that he talked too much

30:43

during the first debate the last time around, he's

30:45

going to be a more contained candidate, which is correct.

30:48

Look, Trump doesn't like prep. I mean,

30:50

he considers it school. So the fact that they've

30:52

gotten him to do it this way is actually

30:55

pretty revealing and also speaks to the fact that

30:57

I think he knows that this has to go

30:59

well for him. He has said to people multiple

31:02

times that he knows that he interrupted too much

31:04

in the first debate with Biden in 2020. And

31:07

having just rewatched that debate recently, it's it's

31:09

really striking. I mean, we all talked about

31:11

it at the time, but Biden could barely

31:13

get a word in edgewise and Biden was

31:15

kind of smiling throughout as this was happening.

31:18

So again, I think that Trump knows this.

31:21

And so his big thing is let Biden

31:23

talk. Let Biden talk. That's

31:26

all if he lets Biden talk for prolonged periods

31:28

of time, people are going to see that Joe

31:30

Biden can't even realistically defend his own policies. Now,

31:33

look, I'm not I'm not looking for Donald Trump to

31:35

fact check Biden in real time. I don't think that

31:37

that's Trump's strongest game. I

31:39

do think that he needs to go unarmed with a set

31:41

of facts that he knows Biden is going to lie about.

31:43

So when Biden says I created X million jobs, Trump

31:46

should say, actually, you didn't create any

31:49

jobs. The American people created jobs despite

31:51

your vaccine mandates and all of your

31:53

insane regulatory policies and 40 year highs

31:56

in inflation. That's not you. That's the

31:58

American people. When

32:00

he suggests that inflation was

32:02

very low, when he was already

32:04

high, when he came in and then just got higher, Trump

32:06

should fact check him on that. So that's not true at

32:08

all. Inflation was at

32:11

kind of historic norms when you came in. And then within

32:13

a month of you coming in, they blew up because

32:16

you started pumping money into this economy. When

32:20

he starts citing and

32:22

jabbering about how historically successful

32:24

he's been on the foreign front, Trump

32:26

should be able to say things like, well,

32:28

I noticed that despite you guys labeling me a

32:30

Russian agent, Russia never actually invaded Ukraine while I

32:32

was president, but they did while you're president. That's

32:34

because you're a weakling and everyone knows it, including

32:36

Vladimir Putin. The truth

32:39

is that you keep saying that I'm

32:41

palling around with dictators. Dictators drool when

32:43

you're the president. Dictators gleefully shout when

32:46

you're the president. Every dictator

32:48

around the world has gotten more aggressive because you're

32:50

the president. And there's certain

32:52

things that Donald Trump can certainly do factually that don't

32:54

require him to memorize facts and statistics, because again,

32:56

that's not something that Trump is gonna do. So

33:00

as we draw closer to the debate, I

33:02

would assume that Trump's team is prepping him for all of these things.

33:05

And he's going to have to avoid kind of the easiest

33:07

grab bag of things that he tends to go for. And

33:09

Donald Trump debates like he speaks, which is he picks things off

33:11

the tree. If you've ever been to a Trump speech, it's

33:15

a very hilarious comedy routine in which

33:17

he is basically picking random fruit off

33:19

the tree and just throwing them. And

33:22

it's really funny, but in debate, the whole point of

33:24

a debate is to be pointed and bring people's attention

33:26

where you want people's attention. Trump needs to spend the

33:28

entire debate redirecting attention from him to Biden,

33:31

from him to Biden. And that runs against Trump's grain

33:33

because Trump believes if people are talking about him, then

33:35

that means he's winning. But that obviously was not true

33:37

in 2020. It also is not true in 2024.

33:41

Okay, in just a second, I wanna get to the

33:44

insane media willingness to cover for the

33:47

radicals and like true radicals, evil

33:49

people inside the Democratic Party first. There's a new

33:51

movie coming out in theaters this July 4th. It's

33:53

being brought to you in part by Daily Wire.

33:55

Jeremy Boring recently announced our partnership with the Angel

33:57

Studios to bring you a brand new film called

33:59

SoundCloud. of Hope, the story of Possum Trot.

34:01

You might know Angel Studios from their awesome movie,

34:03

Sound of Freedom. It had a massive impact in

34:06

the world of entertainment last year by shining a

34:08

powerful light on the child trafficking crisis. Well, now

34:10

Angel Studios is back. Continuing their fight for kids,

34:12

Daily Wire Plus is proud to join them in

34:14

that fight. Sound of Hope is the

34:16

true story of 22 families from a rural church who adopted

34:19

77 kids from the foster system.

34:21

Check out some of the trailer. Are

34:23

you sure these people want us? I

34:26

know they do. You can call me Mabel. It's

34:33

hard to feel like I'm the only one who sees

34:35

these things. 70%

34:39

of the kids in the system are there because

34:41

of neglect. The

34:44

other 30% are put through hell. We

34:50

need your help. Can

34:54

you imagine our kids on their own? We

34:58

can't just look away. The

35:02

state ain't no family. Are

35:05

you sure these people want us? I

35:07

know they do. You can call me Mabel.

35:13

Oh, Lord. If

35:20

we can't wrap our arms around the most vulnerable,

35:22

then what do we have? No. And

35:24

the children can't take the noise anymore. This

35:29

is something that we must do. 22

35:36

families want to adopt. Hotel wants kids now.

35:38

That's about right. What's

35:42

happening with Possum Trot could mean a huge

35:44

change for the system. We

35:47

want the ones that nobody else wants.

35:51

Who hurt you, baby? I'm

35:53

not giving up on you. You can't give up on me

35:55

either. What

35:59

we gonna do? Everybody's falling apart. I'm

36:01

doing the best I can. A

36:06

real world hits hard. I don't want to be

36:08

here! I

36:12

can't give him back. We gotta work

36:14

on this together. We

36:21

your people now. And

36:23

love never gives up.

36:30

We're the best. Okay,

36:39

I've seen it. It's awesome, it's inspiring. It's

36:41

going to make you feel like getting up

36:43

off your butt and doing something good for

36:45

the world. We need to see the benefit

36:47

of having strong religious institutions and our culture

36:49

portrayed more on the big screen. That's what

36:51

Sound of Hope is all about. We can't

36:53

wait for you to see Sound of Hope

36:55

in theaters. It starts July 4th. Tickets on

36:57

sale right now. Get yours at angel.com. Slash

36:59

men. Also, do not miss our most recent

37:01

episode of the Sunday special. It drops this

37:03

Sunday. I sat down with Glenn Lowry. Glenn

37:05

is just a fascinating human being, esteemed American

37:07

economist, public intellectual and author. We

37:09

get into issues of race, the

37:11

status of the Republican party, the status of the

37:14

Democratic party, the status of intelligentsia in the American

37:16

public scene. Here's a bit of the trailer. Look

37:19

at this cop's and young black men,

37:21

cops killing young black men. I mean,

37:24

what an absurd narrative. When

37:26

the real violence on the streets of America

37:28

today, these miscreants

37:30

and these THUGS

37:33

running around with automatic weapons firing

37:35

them aimlessly out of automobiles at

37:37

their gang rivals and stuff like

37:40

that. I mean, and you don't

37:42

have any engagement with that problem.

37:44

Instead, you convert it into

37:46

a white domination

37:48

problem. So that's the

37:50

kind of truth that a black president

37:52

needed to pull the covers off of

37:54

and he failed to do it. Don't

38:03

miss Glenn Lowry's profound insights on racial politics

38:06

and more on this episode of the Sunday

38:08

special. Okay. Meanwhile,

38:10

it's truly amazing to me how radicals on

38:12

various sides of the aisle are treated. So

38:15

on the right side of the aisle, there are certainly radicals

38:17

in Congress, say Paul Gosar from

38:19

Arizona in the Republican Congressional Caucus.

38:22

He's basically been excised by Republican leadership from any

38:24

position of power and essentially

38:26

sidelined by all

38:29

right-wing media, because he's

38:31

kind of nutty. And so people don't

38:33

really want to associate with him. Meanwhile,

38:35

on the left side of the aisle,

38:37

you have people ranging from Alexander Ocasio-Cortez,

38:40

a ridiculous human being with

38:42

foolish ideas, to

38:45

Rashida Tlaib, who's legitimately a

38:47

terror supporter, to Jamal

38:50

Bowman, all being supported by the democratic

38:52

infrastructure. Rashida Tlaib

38:54

yesterday tweeted out, Palestinian liberation and

38:56

black liberation are interconnected. From

38:59

Detroit to Cleveland to Gaza, we must come together

39:02

to fight for the collective liberation of oppressed people

39:04

everywhere. This is insane

39:06

on so many possible levels. It's almost honestly,

39:08

it's extraordinary. She

39:11

combined to write this piece with the former

39:13

national surrogate for Bernie Sanders, Nina Turner, for

39:16

the nation called Black liberation and Palestinian liberation

39:19

are interconnected. What is her argument? Her

39:21

argument is brown people. Not even

39:23

kidding. That's her argument. Her argument

39:25

is brown people oppressed, white people bad. Never

39:27

mind the fact that a huge percentage of

39:29

Israeli Jews are Mizrahi, meaning

39:32

like from Arabic countries, which

39:34

is why, for example, the units that

39:36

you see in Faudah on Netflix, they

39:38

look like Arabs, which is how they are able to

39:41

go into Arab villages and, you know, actually carry out

39:43

operations. It's how they're able to free the hostages

39:45

as they did about a week and a half ago. The

39:49

total insanity, again, of

39:52

trying to connect black

39:54

Americans to Palestinians

39:56

who support a genocidal terror group

39:59

Hamas. I mean,

40:01

how little do you think of black Americans? How many black

40:03

Americans are in favor of, you know, spilling out from

40:06

predominantly black areas of Detroit into the suburbs

40:08

and murdering every white people, every white person

40:10

they can find, including the babies and grandmothers?

40:13

I don't think there are a lot of black

40:15

Americans who think like that. I really don't. But apparently, that's

40:17

what Rashida Tlaib thinks. Because

40:19

she's likening them to the people of

40:21

Gaza, who again are overwhelmingly supportive

40:23

of Hamas. And she is treated as

40:25

a respected member of the Democratic caucus

40:28

still. That's

40:30

insane to me. Jamal Bowman, too.

40:32

So Jamal Bowman is a trash heap

40:34

of a Congress person from New York. He represents

40:36

a district that is largely

40:39

Jewish. He's being primaried

40:41

right now by a person named George Latimer. He's

40:44

being supported in that primary by a bevy of

40:46

prominent Democrats who believe correctly that Jamal Bowman is

40:48

an anti-Semite, which he is. How

40:52

anti-Semitic Jamal Bowman, he

40:54

had actually called the

40:57

rapes of Israeli women on October

40:59

7th propaganda and lies. He said

41:01

that in response at a pro-Palestinian

41:04

rally last November. And

41:07

now he's apologizing. Now he says, oh, I'm

41:09

so sorry, that time that I said that

41:11

women were not raped by Hamas. Well,

41:14

apology not accepted, you douchebag, because

41:17

it turns out that you just

41:20

are consistently saying anti-Semitic and ridiculous

41:22

things. But here's the amazing thing.

41:25

If you were a white supremacist and you

41:27

said the same things as Jamal Bowman, you'd

41:29

be treated as anathema by

41:31

the body politic and by the media. This

41:34

actually came to a hilarious sort of

41:36

apex yesterday when Nick

41:39

Fuentes and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez had

41:41

that bizarre sort of online meme.

41:45

From Predator of like

41:47

the black fist and the white fist, like gripping

41:49

hands and agreeing that the

41:51

Jews are responsible for everything. So

41:53

Fuentes tweeted out at Alexandra

41:55

Ocasio-Cortez, because Fuentes and Alexandra

41:57

Ocasio-Cortez agree that support the

41:59

media. AIPAC is

42:02

responsible for all the ills in the world. So first of all, let me

42:04

point something out at AIPAC. AIPAC, typically

42:06

speaking, is a fairly left wing

42:08

democratic institution. AIPAC, for example, did

42:10

not intervene in 2015 when

42:13

they had the opportunity to do so to pressure

42:15

Democrats not to vote on behalf of Barack Obama's

42:18

horrific Iranian nuclear deal. Also,

42:21

many of the people that you see Congress,

42:23

people talking about, oh, we have an AIPAC

42:25

handler. No, you don't, that's not what a

42:28

handler is. A handler, typically speaking, is a

42:30

person who works for an organization and then

42:32

provides covert payments in some way in order

42:34

to do corrupt things. The people that, for

42:36

example, Thomas Massey is talking about, those are

42:38

just constituents who actually agree

42:40

with the cause of AIPAC and then lobby

42:42

his office. That's not a handler, that's called

42:44

a constituent, and it exists across the board.

42:47

It turns out there are many people who

42:49

are arranged with many different lobbying groups across

42:51

America, from left to right, on causes ranging

42:53

from the environmental to tax to foreign policy.

42:55

Them calling off an office does not make

42:57

them a quote unquote handler. In

42:59

any case, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez has attempted

43:01

to jump on this bandwagon, suggesting that AIPAC

43:03

is in control of the United States Congress,

43:05

which is a full-scale absurdity. I mean, it's

43:08

just ridiculous. We'll get to more on this

43:10

in just one second. First, if

43:12

I were in Washington, D.C., I'd fire pretty

43:14

much everyone right now, the president, the vice

43:16

president, the secretary, let's stay, let's be real.

43:19

If ZipRecruiter had an account for Washington, D.C.,

43:21

43:23

around. Whether you're looking to hire someone who

43:25

44:09

the smartest way to hire. Okay,

44:11

but AOC tweeted

44:14

something out about APAC

44:17

in which she says, an unspoken secret in Congress is

44:20

that much of the reflexive blind unconditional vote support for

44:22

nearly any Israeli government action isn't from actual agreement, it's

44:24

from fear. Reps are terrified of this, of APAC. So

44:26

they don't vote their conscience, they vote their fear. Now

44:28

this is very reminiscent of the kind of language people

44:30

used to use about the NRA. They

44:32

say, oh, the NRA controls gun policy. And it turns out, nope,

44:35

it's just there are a lot of Americans who support gun rights,

44:37

and then a lot of their Congress people also

44:39

support gun rights. And when your constituents support

44:42

a thing, you very often tend to support

44:44

that thing. It turns out the American people

44:46

are overwhelmingly pro-Israel, except for AOC and Nick

44:48

Fuentes, who lock arms in their hatred for

44:50

Israel and for Jews. In any case, this

44:53

was the best exchange, it was great.

44:55

Alexander Ocasio-Cortez rips on APAC and suggests

44:58

that everyone is voting this way out

45:00

of secret fear of APAC, which

45:02

again is reminiscent of the old joke about

45:05

two Jews meeting in 1937 Germany, and

45:08

one of them sitting on a park bench and is reading to Sturmer,

45:10

which is the Nazi newspaper, and another Jew walks by and

45:12

looks at, what are you reading? Why are you reading that

45:14

garbage? Guy says, there's so much good news. We run the

45:16

banks, we run the government. That's

45:19

AOC and Nick Fuentes. The Jews run

45:21

everything according to them. Anyway, Fuentes then

45:24

tweeted, AOC is more America first than

45:26

99% of Republicans. Yes,

45:31

yes, if by America first, you mean like Nazi

45:34

sympathizer, then kind of, a

45:36

little, because she does have a lot

45:38

of sympathy for today's Nazis, meaning the

45:40

advocates for Hamas, the campus protestors are

45:43

perfectly willing to act as today's soft

45:46

brown shirts. Anyway, Ocasio-Cortez then replied,

45:48

you are a white supremacist. I want nothing to do

45:51

with you, nor the world you imagine. I believe

45:53

in a multiracial democracy, one of economic rights, civil

45:55

liberties, and that affirms the working class in the

45:57

rights of women in LGBTQ plus minus people. These

46:00

are not small differences. They are irreconcilable. White

46:02

supremacy is a scourge and must be disavowed

46:04

in all places. AOC, treasured

46:07

member of the left community, agrees

46:10

on these radical issues. With Nick Fuentes,

46:13

on the right, Nick Fuentes is

46:15

a persona non grata. On the left,

46:17

AOC is beloved. Jamal Bowman, again,

46:20

this guy who says that rapes didn't happen and

46:22

then oops, I'm so sorry I said that, oh,

46:24

I can't believe, he was

46:27

on Stephen Colbert. Can you imagine Nick Fuentes on

46:29

Stephen Colbert? That's not a thing that's gonna happen.

46:32

Or Paul

46:34

Gosar, like these are, that's not going to

46:36

happen. But Jamal Bowman, a

46:38

full scale radical dolt who pulled a fire

46:40

alarm in order to stop a congressional vote

46:43

and then was held in contempt, he

46:46

was censured by Congress. That guy ended up on

46:48

Stephen Colbert because if you have the right

46:50

bona fides, an LGBTQ

46:52

multiracial democracy, you can say whatever

46:55

you want about the Jews, according

46:57

to the radical left in the media

46:59

and the mainstream media. Do you

47:02

involve your family in the campaign? This

47:04

time around, yes, because my wife got really

47:07

pissed off when they challenged me. And so

47:09

she got pissed off and she said, we're gonna,

47:12

I can't curse, we're gonna win this election

47:15

and we're gonna have record turnout just like we did

47:17

in 2020. So my

47:19

wife literally like, for the first

47:21

time ever, like gave a speech

47:23

at a Latinos for Bowman event.

47:25

And she was incredible. She was

47:27

interviewed for a newspaper article. My

47:29

daughter is in our ad and she

47:31

asked two words, my dad, and she

47:34

stole the entire show. And so

47:36

she's 10. And

47:38

so, they're involved now and they're having

47:40

a good time with it because they don't wanna see

47:43

their husband and dad get bullied.

47:46

So we're pushing back a little bit. What

47:49

a hero, what a hero. And that's why he's on Stephen Colbert.

47:52

After having denied that rapes took place on October

47:55

7th. And what you get away with,

47:57

if you are a radical Democrat is

47:59

astonishing. and you get to remain treasured

48:01

by the mainstream media. Bowman

48:04

tweeted out, catch me on Colbert Late Show

48:06

tonight. We're talking old school hip-hop, bringing principle

48:08

energy to Congress and so much more. See,

48:12

this is the thing about the left. When they look at

48:14

the radical left, the left, like the mainstream, democratic left,

48:16

they don't see people who are wrong. They

48:18

don't see people who have bad moral principles. What

48:21

they see are people who are just too passionate

48:23

about the issues. You know, their big problem is

48:25

they say the quiet part out loud, but their

48:27

heart is in the right place. That's why Stephen

48:29

Colbert can have on Jamal Bowman. Why the democratic

48:31

party can continue to push. Terror of supporters like

48:33

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and AOC. That's

48:36

why they can do it. You

48:38

know, the truth is the only thing that is

48:40

stopping the democratic party from running off the rails

48:42

is Joe Biden. I mean, that's the weird position

48:44

the democratic party is in right now. The old

48:46

man who we've been laughing at and pointing out

48:48

that he's senile, he's falling off stages and he

48:50

can't string a sentence together. If you

48:52

got rid of him, that wing of the party

48:54

takes over. That is the

48:56

likely outcome for the democrats because the media are

48:59

already in the corner of Jamal Bowman and AOC.

49:02

They're already in that corner. They think Joe Biden

49:04

is too moderate. That's the truly

49:06

astonishing thing about this presidential race and the

49:08

status of the democratic party more generally. Okay,

49:10

meanwhile, remember that time that Joe Biden said that he

49:12

had worked with President Xi to crack down on the

49:15

fentanyl trafficking? So if you watch episode

49:17

two of our series, The

49:19

Divided States of Biden over at Dailyware Plus, which you should, it's a

49:21

really good piece of work. We went

49:23

through the fentanyl crisis. We talked about the causes of

49:26

the fentanyl crisis. Joe Biden has said that he has

49:28

worked with China to shut down the shipments of the

49:30

precursor chemicals to fentanyl, which are

49:32

shipped from China into Mexico, processed there very

49:34

often by Chinese nationals and then moved across

49:37

the border, smuggled across America's southern border in

49:39

the areas that are no longer protected by

49:41

border patrol because of Joe Biden. Well,

49:44

Joe Biden said, well, we worked with China to

49:46

shut down the big manufacturing labs. According to the

49:49

Washington Post today, when President Biden and Chinese president

49:51

Xi Jinping pledged to revive a joint crackdown on

49:53

illegal drug trafficking in November, it sent a brief

49:55

shockwave through the vast network of Chinese suppliers fueling

49:57

the production of fentanyl. Drug supply.

56:00

We wanted to hire somebody in

56:03

the department a few years ago

56:05

now who was half black but

56:07

didn't like hear half black. And

56:10

there was a creative executive who was

56:13

like, we're not, like that's not, that's

56:15

not what's wrong. I'm

56:17

guessing that there is a acceptable

56:21

code words and buzzwords that

56:23

are used to explain what

56:25

they're looking for. They

56:27

might say something like, you know, we're

56:29

not, we're not looking at like the usual suspects

56:31

for this job. I

56:34

mean, so it's like not like a

56:36

legally actionable thing. Like right now

56:38

that it means I guess they 30 to

56:40

35% of our top writers. And

56:45

so I think a lot of them lean

56:47

into train stories more than your French

56:49

straight writer would. Well, there

56:51

you have it in a nutshell. That is the Walt

56:53

Disney Company. Vote clap for these

56:55

geniuses. And then you wonder why the acolyte absolutely

56:57

sucks and is filled with woke trash. That

57:00

would be that would be the rationale for all of that.

57:02

By the way, this is all a violation of civil rights

57:04

law. You are not allowed to hire on the basis of

57:06

race. There's a massive

57:08

lawsuit coming Walt Disney Company's way over this

57:10

sort of activity. This guy's gonna get fired

57:12

for having told the truth accidentally to somebody.

57:15

It's also the reason we launched Bent Key is

57:17

so you don't have to watch stories that are

57:19

trans oriented directed at children. They should check out

57:22

the Bent Key app for kids. And

57:25

meanwhile, just to demonstrate how left

57:27

wing politics bleeds into culture. There's

57:30

a show called New Amsterdam. I would admit

57:32

that my wife started watching the show when it first came

57:34

on the air and she was enjoying it at the beginning.

57:37

And I didn't watch a minute of it because it looked

57:39

horrible to me from the very, very start. And

57:42

I'm like sitting over here watching war documentaries. My

57:44

wife is watching New Amsterdam, even for my wife,

57:46

who's not nearly as politically oriented

57:49

as I am. My wife got to the

57:51

point where she's like, I cannot believe this is gonna be another

57:53

episode on some left wing clause. I just can't. Well,

57:55

this one is pretty strong. Here's an episode from

57:57

the show New Amsterdam in which a child's two

58:00

because of internalized racism, meaning other people were

58:02

racist to the kid, and so the kid

58:04

has worse tumors. Oh

58:06

my God. Seriously? Okay. I

58:10

had Cephas answer some questions from a Harvard

58:12

test known as unrest. It

58:14

is designed to measure someone's level of

58:17

social resistance. Social resistance. When

58:20

people like us oppose the values and

58:22

policies of the dominant culture. That's right.

58:24

What does that have to do with...

58:26

Your son, he feels threatened on a

58:29

daily basis. Like everything he's

58:31

earned can just be taken away. He's disenfranchised. But

58:35

because his life is seemingly free from all this, because he can't name

58:37

it, he's internalizing it. Name

58:42

what? Racism.

58:46

I think your son's tumor was caused by racism.

58:52

Your son's tumor was caused by racism. Wow.

58:56

That's some solid TV right there. Your son's tumor

58:58

was caused by racism. Wow. How

59:00

do you even... Okay. All right then.

59:03

Well, there is some good news. They've hired Dr.

59:05

Cori Bush to show up at

59:07

the New Amsterdam Hospital, where she will lay her hands upon

59:09

the child, whose tumors have been

59:11

caused by racism, and the tumors will just

59:13

disappear. So cancer cured,

59:15

racism solved. All righty folks, coming

59:18

up, we'll jump into the latest from the Middle East,

59:21

where again, it is amazing how the

59:24

media have basically just decided to take the science of Hamas.
