2:00

congressional district, that

2:02

primary poses Jamal Bowman,

2:04

who is an extraordinarily radical person

2:07

who relies on the philosophy

2:09

of intersectionality consistently. And

2:11

he is running against a person named George Latimer. George

2:14

Latimer is sort

2:16

of a typical Westchester County government

2:19

executive. And he right

2:22

now is running well ahead of

2:24

Jamal Bowman. And that is for a reason. That

2:26

is because the 16th congressional district happens

2:30

to have changed in constituency to

2:33

include a bunch of Jews and also a bunch

2:35

of black people. And this is coming to a

2:37

head because the conflict between the intersectional ideology promoted

2:39

by the woke left and Jewish

2:41

people has broken out, particularly since October

2:44

7th, because the intersectionality says

2:46

that if you're a member of a dispossessed

2:49

group, by dispossessed, they just mean statistically

2:51

less successful group, not that you've actually

2:53

shown proof of dispossession in the here

2:55

and now, but that

2:57

you are, for example, underperforming

3:00

educationally or economically, underperforming

3:03

in some other way. This is a

3:05

result of white supremacy. And when extended into the foreign

3:07

policy sphere, if you look at Israel, and if you

3:09

look at the way Jamal Bowman describes Israel, or Ashutosh

3:11

Lieb, or Elhan Omar, Israel is the white supremacist country,

3:13

even though, again, it's a bunch of Jews, and many

3:15

of them are brown Jews, versus

3:17

the dispossessed brown people who are the

3:19

Palestinians. Nevermind the fact that Jews are

3:22

indigenous to the area. Nevermind the

3:24

fact that Palestinians could

3:26

be theoretically absorbed by surrounding Arab countries very,

3:28

very easily, but they've never been done so,

3:30

even though Jews by the hundreds of thousands,

3:32

if not millions, have been absorbed by the

3:34

Jewish state in Israel. Put all of that

3:36

aside. Intersectionality is a lie. It is a

3:38

falsehood and it's a stupid falsehood at that,

3:40

but it is at the core of left-wing

3:42

ideology, particularly radical left-wing ideology at this point.

3:44

And it is breaking out again into the

3:46

open in the 16th congressional district, both because

3:48

of the ethnic breakdown of

3:51

the 16th congressional district, again, both significantly

3:54

Jewish and also much more significantly black,

3:57

and also because the Democratic Party has decided

3:59

not to... It's

6:00

time to say no to censorship.

no matter where you are. Well,

6:29

the actual status of the race right now is that Jamal

6:32

Bowman is likely to lose. And already the

6:34

radical left is trying to claim that this is the result

6:37

of money intervention by the American

6:39

Israel Public Affairs Committee, APAC. Now,

6:42

APAC has become sort of a political bugaboo on

6:45

the far right and on the far left. There's

6:47

this idea that because it's a lobbying group, that

6:49

lobbies on behalf of largely Jews, but some Christians

6:52

in America who are pro-Israel, that it therefore works

6:54

for the Israeli government, it does not. Or

6:57

that the intervention of a lobbying group

6:59

in a race is somehow shocking. It is not,

7:01

it happens in literally every congressional race. And particularly

7:03

it's gonna come up when you happen to have

7:05

a Congress person who

7:07

has committed a wide variety of

7:10

full-on Jew-hating sins, which

7:12

it turns out that Jamal Bowman has. So

7:15

right now, Jamal Bowman is about to lose. According

7:17

to lowhood.com, more

7:21

than 14,000 Westchester County voters

7:23

already have cast ballots in robust early

7:25

turnout for the primary battle between Bowman

7:27

and Westchester County Executive, George Latimer, for

7:29

Bowman's House seat. That includes

7:31

9,904 Democrats in

7:33

New York's 16th congressional district who voted in

7:35

person over five days from last Saturday through

7:38

Wednesday. Extraordinary voter

7:40

turnout for Jews in Westchester. A

7:43

group that has spent months registering and mobilizing Jewish

7:45

voters in Westchester for the Bowman Latimer primary reported

7:48

strong initial results this week. Jewish voters had contacted

7:50

more than 40% of

7:52

Westchester residents who had voted in person or

7:54

by mail as of Monday. Jewish

7:57

voters only make up about 9% of

7:59

this primary's vote. and

10:00

save civilian lives. Instead of pushing resolutions

10:02

that fan the flames of war, Congress should recognize all the

10:04

lives that have been lost, both Palestinian and Israeli. What does

10:06

that have to do with not condemning Iran for

10:08

firing missiles at the Jewish state? All of

10:11

that, of course, is a cover for what Jamal Bowman really

10:13

thinks. Here's Jamal Bowman

10:15

back in March, suggesting that Israel is

10:17

an apartheid state, and then suggesting that the

10:19

rape of Israeli women on October 7th, all

10:21

of that was a lie. I

10:25

am not an expert on apartheid, but

10:27

those who are experts on apartheid refer

10:30

to Israel as an apartheid state. That

10:33

is a war crime. And

10:36

there was propaganda used at the beginning of

10:38

the sea. There's still no

10:40

evidence of the heavy babies or

10:43

raped women, but they still can

10:45

use it that lie, the propaganda.

10:48

That is great! Okay,

10:51

so that's a dude who hates Jews. Somebody

10:54

who says that the rapes on October 7th

10:56

didn't happen, there's not only

10:58

evidence, there's evidence from Hamas body cameras of rapes

11:00

happening. There are Hamas members who

11:02

have admitted on tape to raping women. We've

11:05

played some of it on the show. And

11:08

again, Jamal Bowman, this is who he is. Jamal

11:11

Bowman said recently, quote, in New York City, we

11:14

all live together, but Westchester is segregated. There are

11:16

certain places where Jews live and concentrate. Scarsdale, parts

11:18

of White Plains, parts of New Rochelle Riverdale. I'm

11:20

sure they made a decision to do that for

11:22

their own reasons, but this is why, in terms

11:24

of fighting anti-Semitism, I always push we've been separated

11:26

and segregated and mis-educated for so long. We need

11:29

to live together, play together, go to school together,

11:31

learn together and work together. Okay, this is just

11:33

a cover for not liking Jews very much. It

11:35

turns out that many Jews, particularly Orthodox Jews, live

11:37

in areas where there are lots of other Jews.

11:39

Want to know why? Because according to Jewish law,

11:41

you actually are supposed to live within walking distance

11:44

of a synagogue, which means you have to live

11:46

within a particular radius of the synagogue. So

11:49

in my neighborhood, for example, the real estate prices

11:51

within walking distance to the synagogue are really, really

11:53

high. And then you go like three blocks further

11:55

outside of what's called the Aruv, an area where

11:57

you're allowed to carry, and the real estate prices

12:00

drop, why? because Jewish law requires that you actually

12:02

live within the Aruv if you wish to carry

12:05

on the Sabbath. Also,

12:07

by the way, I've never heard Jamal Bowman

12:09

suggest, for example, that historically black communities ought

12:11

to be gentrified for purposes of desegregation, precisely

12:14

the opposite. This is

12:16

who Jamal Bowman is. And

12:19

again, this is the future wave of the Democratic Party. This

12:21

is who they believe is the future, whether he wins or

12:23

whether he loses is almost irrelevant to the future of the

12:25

Democratic Party. It'd be a good sign, maybe

12:27

some sanity would be creeping back into the

12:29

Democratic Party. But I just

12:31

wanna read you the ages of the

12:33

people who voted, for example, against that

12:35

resolution in the House condemning Iran for

12:37

firing missiles at a sovereign state. Jamal

12:41

Bowman, 48. Pramila Jayapal, head

12:43

of the progressive, chair of the

12:45

Congressional Progressive Caucus, 58 years old. Jonathan

12:47

Jackson of Illinois, 42. Cory Bush,

12:49

47. Hank Johnson, a man

12:52

so stupid he believes the island of Guam is going to tip over

12:54

because there's too many people on it. 69,

12:56

Barbara Lee, 77. Summer Lee of

12:58

Pennsylvania, 36. AOC, 34. Ilhan

13:01

Omar, 41. Ayanna Pressley, 50. Delia

13:04

Ramirez, 41. And Rashida Tlaib, 47. The

13:07

reason I say that is because the median age of

13:09

Congress right now is 58 years old. Aside

13:13

from Hank Johnson and Barbara Lee, every

13:16

single one of those people is at the median age

13:18

or well below the median age. In other words, Democrats

13:20

who are young tend to be part

13:23

of the intersectional caucus. That

13:25

is why I say this is what the future of the Democratic Party looks

13:27

like. And I just want to show you what the future of the Democratic

13:29

Party looks like. Because this is

13:31

who Democratic Conchos think the Democratic Party looks like.

13:34

Joe Biden is just providing a

13:36

dottering, senile elderly face over that.

13:39

But the reason that Joe Biden has spent

13:41

his entire administration promoting quote unquote equity is

13:43

because he believes that the coalition behind the

13:45

dottering frail mask is the coalition

13:47

of Jamal Bowman and AOC. That's

13:50

why they keep humoring these people. It's why

13:52

they're slow walking into Israel, for example, in the middle of all

13:54

of this. It's the reason

13:56

why they continue to push trans

13:58

propaganda and racialist ideology. Because when

14:00

Democrats look at the future of the Democratic

14:02

Party, young Democrats, what they see is a

14:05

coalition that is built on intersectional a

14:08

priori ideas. And

14:11

that intersectional coalition must be maintained at any

14:13

cost. We'll get to more on

14:15

this in a moment. First, as social unrest escalates

14:17

and crime rates climb, securing the safety

14:19

of your family is more crucial than ever.

14:21

In uncertain times, having effective yet non-lethal options

14:23

is vital. This is why you should check

14:25

out the Burn a Less Lethal Pistol Launcher.

14:28

It's been developed by a team of common

14:30

sense gun owners who understand the importance of

14:32

having choices. They engineered the Burn a Launcher

14:34

as a powerful tool for self-defense, allowing users

14:36

to deescalate life-threatening situations without resorting to deadly

14:38

force. Now listen, I'm about as pro-Second Amendment

14:40

as it gets. I own multiple firearms, but

14:42

I'll be honest, using lethal force,

14:45

even in defending my home, my family,

14:47

that's a scary idea, obviously. Now don't misunderstand

14:50

me. If somebody invades my home, what

14:52

happens next is on them. But if I have the ability

14:54

not to resort to lethal measures in order to do so,

14:56

that would be great. There

14:59

are situations where you're in your home and somebody's

15:01

banging around in the kitchen and you

15:03

don't know who it is. What if it's a member

15:05

of your family who came in? Now maybe it

15:07

would be better that, God forbid, instead

15:09

of making a horrible, horrible, life-altering mistake,

15:11

you can use something else. Well,

15:14

Burn a is a safer, more sensible alternative

15:16

that could potentially save lives on both sides,

15:18

protecting both the user and the aggressor. Visit

15:28

Okay, so all of this culminated over the weekend in

15:30

one of the most bizarre campaign stops I've ever seen

15:32

in my entire life. So

15:34

AOC showed up and

15:36

was totally psychotic. I mean, she's like

15:39

Dwight at a paper selling

15:41

event. Or as

15:43

some said online, Adolf

15:45

Hitler from downfall. Here

15:47

she is screaming and shouting like a nut.

15:51

And this is supposed to be, I suppose, cool. But

15:53

what it really does, it has awkward, I'm

15:56

still a teenager vibes. This is AOC

15:58

and Taylor Swift. She's a

16:00

34-year-old woman who acts like she's 16 years old. So

16:03

here is AOC going off on A-Pac, and

16:07

obviously we all know what she means by that. Here we

16:10

go. Are you ready to win this country back? And

16:16

are you ready to fight for me?

16:18

I'm Pete Muckerman! Okay, if you can't

16:20

see this, she's jumping up and down,

16:23

moving the mics. Waving her hands up

16:25

and down, there's rap music playing

16:27

in the background, Cardi B playing in

16:29

the background. I am ready to fight, let's

16:31

hear it! She's ready to fight.

16:34

By fight, she means yelling to a microphone, obviously, and

16:36

ruffle her own hair for the

16:38

camera. What a stellar performance

16:40

there by low-rent Mussolini. Just

16:45

solid, solid stuff there. But

16:48

she concluded the performance by a little

16:50

bit. So you have here a 34-year-old woman. I

16:53

point out the age only to point out that we are

16:55

such an immature, ridiculous country. The fact that somebody like AOC

16:57

is a respected commentator in some circles just

17:01

demonstrates what an unserious country we are

17:03

on every possible level. AOC is two years younger than my

17:05

wife. My wife has four kids and is a doctor. AOC

17:07

dresses up in khaki shorts, a white shirt jumps around like a moron,

17:11

and then grabs Jamal Bowman around the neck and

17:14

then grabs her. And then she's a

17:16

little bit more of a girl. And

17:18

then grabs Jamal Bowman around the neck as they

17:20

dance to Cardi B in the middle of a

17:22

political event. These are the leaders that

17:24

you have selected, gang. She's

17:29

jumping up and down because she's in a rave. And here comes

17:31

Jamal Bowman, and he's coming up. What is

17:33

this? I'm sorry. Who are these clowns? What

17:37

a clown show. And then Jamal

17:39

Bowman shows up, and he starts bouncing the beat. And

17:43

then he says, keep the beat going. And

17:46

then he just starts rapping into the microphone. Jamal

17:50

Bowman is 48 years old, by the way. He's eight years older than

17:52

I am, Jamal Bowman. That

17:55

dude is like 14 years away from retirement in the United

17:57

States. He's

18:00

the millennium. He'll be sold 50 gold, 60 pounds.

18:03

Oh, so embarrassing. These people are

18:05

so embarrassing. And then Jamal

18:07

Bowman decides that he's gonna, I don't know what he

18:09

had. Whatever they

18:11

give Joe Biden before his debates, they pumped Jamal

18:13

Bowman full of this. And he starts like picking

18:16

up a stool and waving

18:18

around a stool while simping for Hamas.

18:21

And he also rolled up his sleeve. So he got a bit of the gun show. Now

18:23

here's the daily wire. You have to be an All Access member to get the gun

18:25

show. If you want the gun show from Jamal

18:28

Bowman, all you have to do is watch him get his

18:30

ass kicked in a local democratic primary. But

18:32

here he was waving around a stool for some reason

18:35

and shouting about a ceasefire,

18:38

which he knows nothing about because he's a

18:40

very, very low IQ human being. Here

18:43

we go. Cease fire

18:45

now, cease fire now. Cease fire now.

18:47

And now he's picking up a stool. I know he's

18:49

holding a stool. You're having some, as people online point

18:51

out, some roid rage happening right here. Cease

18:53

fire now. I

18:55

don't know. He's getting like body surf now. I'm

18:59

like crowd surf. By

19:01

the way, you don't want to be the people underneath Jamal Bowman

19:03

when he tries to crowd surf. That

19:05

is a large human being. Now

19:11

he's chanting his own name. Yeah. Top

19:17

level genius level stuff. By

19:19

the way, whenever they complain about, wow, AIPAC is getting

19:22

involved in the race. You mean a group

19:24

that doesn't want to see anti-Semites in Congress is

19:26

getting involved in a race involving an anti-Semite? That

19:28

is absolutely shocking. Jamal Bowman himself has poured millions

19:30

of dollars into the race. It's coming

19:32

from lots of people who, you know, are

19:35

part of the intersectional coalition and don't break it like Israel

19:37

and really don't like Jews very much. And

19:39

then Jamal Bowman and AOC got together

19:41

for a little social media

19:44

commercial to encourage people to get out

19:46

to vote. But only in particular areas,

19:48

you will note. So

19:50

here is Jamal Bowman. He has to like rest

19:52

up after that. He's got like a towel over

19:54

his shoulder. Like he just ran a marathon water

19:57

bottle. And then he and school

19:59

Marmay O.C. over here. enthusiastic

20:01

school marm. How do you do fellow

20:03

kids? They discuss

20:05

why you need to show up to vote for Jamal

20:07

Bowman in this primary. Cease

20:10

trying now, y'all. That's what we're doing. Cease trying now. Let's get

20:12

it popping. The polls are

20:14

open today. The polls are open tomorrow. Make

20:16

sure you get out the vote. Election day is Tuesday.

20:19

Let's go. We need record turnout all

20:22

across the district, especially in Yonkers,

20:24

Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Co-op City and Edenwall. Let's get

20:26

it popping. Let's change the world. It's

20:29

the money versus the money. We're going to win. Let's go,

20:31

baby. We're going to win. We're going to take on A-Pac.

20:33

I'm going to kick some Wall Street ass. So let's go.

20:36

Stop the bombs. Stop

20:38

the bombs. Stop the bombs. By the way, I've never

20:40

seen them call for Hamas to surrender, which would stop

20:42

the bombs immediately. Then it would all be over.

20:44

That's not what this is about, is it? Okay.

20:47

This is the clown show that you guys are voting for. We

20:50

are now in idiocracy, like full

20:52

scale in idiocracy with politicians like

20:54

this. I

20:56

do appreciate the fluency with which he drops into

21:00

dropping his G's and then replacing his G's depending on

21:02

which part of the video he's in. When it's

21:04

time to vote in Edenwall, he's like, we

21:06

all need you voting in Edenwall. He's like, let's get it

21:08

popping. They kind

21:10

of jump in and out of

21:13

intense Jamal is really something

21:15

to watch. The areas that he's asking to vote, by

21:17

the way, I talked about the ethnic conflict that's arisen

21:19

within this district, are disproportionately black.

21:22

The district overall, the 16th congressional district,

21:26

is about 30 some

21:28

percent black by ethnicity.

21:31

But there are some particularly areas in the district that

21:34

are obviously significantly more

21:37

black than others. So the 16th congressional

21:39

district, at last census is about

21:41

40 percent white, 29 percent Hispanic, 21 percent black.

21:46

But some of the districts that he's calling out, Mount

21:48

Vernon is like 63 percent black, Co-op said he's

21:50

like 59 percent black, and Edenwall is 63 percent black.

21:53

So he's specifically calling out, obviously, to his voting base. That's

21:55

not unusual when you're trying to get people out. Obviously, you

21:57

call out to your voting base. But the

21:59

reason... that his voting base is who his voting

22:01

base is. And he doesn't have broad support across, by

22:03

the way, a district that Barack

22:05

Obama won before it was redistricted, like

22:08

90 to five. The

22:10

reason this controversy exists is because of

22:12

the breaking apart of this intersectional coalition

22:14

inside the Democratic Party. So

22:17

the question for the future of the Democratic Party is which way are you gonna

22:19

move? Let's do more on this in

22:21

a moment. First, we live in a dangerous world.

22:23

23:19

worst just in case you just happened. preparewithben.com. Now,

23:22

Joe Biden had a choice. When Joe Biden won in 2020, he

23:25

actually had an opportunity to

23:27

move back toward a Clintonian third way, focus

23:30

on say economic populism rather than equity. And

23:32

instead what he decided to do was staff

23:34

up on the equity side and

23:36

go radical on the social politics. So

23:39

it's pretty clear which way the Democratic

23:41

Party thinks this thing is moving. And

23:43

one of the fascinating things that we've seen in the electoral

23:46

dynamic here is that Donald Trump is picking up a lot

23:48

of blue collar voters. And he's picking up some

23:50

voters in the Hispanic community too because it turns out

23:52

in 2020, when the Democratic Party basically

23:55

acted as the Black Lives Matter was the

23:57

only cause worth supporting among minorities.

24:00

Turns out there are a lot of other minorities

24:02

in America, and in fact, black Americans represent the

24:04

second biggest minority in America after Hispanic Americans, many

24:06

of whom are now turning toward Republicans. But

24:10

the question is really whether Trump started to

24:12

make those inroads because he's Trump, or

24:14

whether Democrats forwent those inroads because

24:16

they've been following a primrose path

24:19

to intersectional coalition hell. I

24:22

would suggest very much the second. Democrats have been

24:24

going intersectional since 2012, and

24:27

this is the natural sort of culmination of that. Now,

24:29

could that start to turn? Could the

24:31

worm start to... that's possible? Maybe

24:33

if Jamal Bowman loses, that's the first step

24:36

toward rationality beginning to rear its head again

24:38

inside the Democratic Party. But if

24:40

Joe Biden has his way, it's not. So,

24:43

for example, apparently, Joe

24:45

Biden has now hired a brand-new

24:47

White House staffer, and this

24:49

is a classy dude. This White

24:51

House staffer is a person

24:53

named Tyler Cherry. He's

24:56

a former Interior Department communications director. He's

24:59

now been hired in a new role, and will be

25:01

working on communications inside the Biden White House. Here's a

25:03

picture of Tyler Cherry. Well,

25:06

um... well... I

25:11

guess since they got rid of that guy who was stealing all the ladies' luggage, now

25:14

he's... they hired another guy who's stealing

25:16

ladies' luggage. I guess he stole the

25:19

luggage of Bianca

25:21

What's-her-name, Kanye's wife. That's

25:23

a... he's stealing her luggage now. So,

25:26

um... that's... that's weird.

25:29

This person happens to be one of

25:31

the young radicals. So,

25:35

it turns out that he

25:37

was posting support for Palestine on social

25:39

media in 2014. That is when Hamas

25:41

was firing hundreds of rockets into Israel.

25:45

He also called for ICE to be abolished in 2018.

25:50

So, this dude likes dressing in women's

25:52

clothing and supporting Hamas. And

25:54

I guess he's all out of women's clothing, obviously.

25:57

He's out of clothing entirely. July

25:59

2015. 2014 quote cheering in

26:01

bars to end the occupation of

26:03

Gaza. No shame and F your

26:05

glares hashtag I support Gaza hashtag free Palestine. Again

26:07

this dude goes right off the top of the

26:10

roof the minute that Hamas takes over his area.

26:13

In a statement to Fox News digital White House senior deputy

26:15

press secretary Andrew Bates said we are very proud to have

26:17

Tyler and his nipples on the team. I

26:20

don't know if he said that last part but apparently

26:22

that's that's I mean is that

26:25

going to be his like profile at the White House

26:27

communications desk. Like

26:29

every time he appears on TV remote they're gonna put

26:31

that up. But this

26:33

is who the Democratic Party has decided to cater to and

26:37

again they're just gonna keep doubling down on all this

26:39

over and over and over again. You

26:41

wonder why they keep steering into issues that are like 80

26:44

20 issues the other way. Why

26:46

Joe Biden is doing notes

26:49

about trans day of visibility. Why

26:52

Joe Biden is basically going to go gay for the month because

26:54

it's pride month. And why are

26:56

they doing all this and the answer is that

26:58

coalition is the coalition they think is the everlasting

27:00

winning coalition. Now they're wrong. I think

27:02

that they are very very wrong and they're about to find

27:04

that out in a very hard way. Because

27:07

it turns out most Hispanics don't like this stuff.

27:09

Turns out a lot of black people don't like this stuff. Turns

27:12

out a lot of Asian people don't like this

27:14

stuff. And so the racist assumption that every member

27:16

of a minority group wants to be a member

27:18

of a victim group is very wrong in a

27:21

country that is built on the dream of individuals

27:23

to succeed regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, etc. But

27:27

this is what Democrats are looking at and

27:29

when they're bargaining for this sort of stuff that is precisely what

27:31

they are going to get. That's

27:34

next going to rear its ugly head presumably at the

27:37

Democratic National Convention. We'll get

27:39

some more on this in a moment. First election

27:41

year typically means chaos for everybody and maybe for

27:43

your wallet. Since 1952 the stock

27:45

market has underperformed during election years averaging a 7%

27:47

gain. The S&P is up so far this year

27:49

but I mean I don't know what's going to

27:51

happen to you. How do we prepare for market

27:53

volatility? Head on over to masterworks.com/ben to get connected

price appreciation has actually outpaced the S&P

28:08

28:37

regulation A disclosures at masterworks.com/CD. To

28:39

the Democratic National Convention, they're already expecting that

28:42

there is going to be some sort of

28:44

violence outside the Democratic National Convention, at the

28:46

very least massive protests on behalf of the

28:48

intersectional coalition standing for Hamas. Joe

28:51

Biden's tactics in the Israel-Gaza war have prolonged

28:53

the war by months. Joe

28:55

Biden has slow walked aid. It turns out when you slow walk

28:57

aid, it doesn't dissuade a country defending itself

29:00

from defending itself. It just means they can't do

29:02

so as fast as normally they'd be able to,

29:05

or as meticulously as normally they would be able

29:07

to. This is true

29:09

in Ukraine and also in Israel. Turns out

29:11

slow walking aid prolongs conflicts. It doesn't actually

29:13

make those conflicts end sooner. But Joe Biden

29:15

being a full-scale idiot with not two neurons

29:17

that actually fire between them, he's

29:20

been pursuing that policy. So it's very likely that

29:22

when the Democratic National Convention actually happens by

29:25

August, the

29:27

serious possibility of ongoing operations, not really in Gaza,

29:29

but up North in Israel, is actually quite high.

29:32

The reason it's quite high is because the

29:34

more Israel does not show steeliness and

29:36

willingness to destroy its enemies in Gaza,

29:38

the more Hezbollah is gonna continue upping

29:40

the ante in the North. Everybody

29:43

recognizes this. So

29:46

how exactly is the Democratic National Convention gonna

29:48

go? Probably not particularly well.

29:52

It turns out that holding it in Chicago is also a

29:54

genius idea. According to

29:56

the Wall Street Journal, pro-Palestinian activists hope to attract

29:58

100,000 demonstrators. from across

30:00

the country to protest Biden's handling of the

30:02

war in Gaza. Republicans

30:05

are twirling over this. Republican consultant Alex Conant,

30:07

White House spokesperson during George W. Bush's second

30:09

term, said when a convention comes to a

30:11

city, the city becomes part of the convention.

30:14

Chicago's problems will become part of the Democratic

30:16

Convention. Well, yeah, it certainly will,

30:18

considering that every weekend in Chicago, more people are

30:20

shot than probably in Gaza on a given weekend.

30:24

So, good luck to Joe Biden. If

30:26

this is the future that you are building, well,

30:29

then I suppose you can live with it. But Democrats do

30:31

have a choice. They could walk away from that future and

30:33

move back towards sanity. Again, that's what most Americans thought they

30:35

were getting back in 2020, and it turns out they were

30:37

not. They were getting a combination of

30:39

bizarre love child of Bernie Sanders and AOC,

30:41

except 81 years old. Biden

30:46

fundraisers, by the way, are running scared from him. They're

30:48

very concerned, as well they should be. According

30:51

to Politico, Joe Biden's campaign

30:54

planned to bury Donald Trump in an avalanche

30:56

of cash instead his allies are now bracing

30:58

for a slugfest without the benefit of a

31:00

fatter wallet. As financial reports show, Trump out

31:02

raising Biden in back-to-back months, hauling in huge

31:04

sums after his 34 felony convictions and erasing

31:07

Biden's long-standing financial edge. Democrats

31:09

have been trying to downplay Trump's new financial lead,

31:11

but privately, several Democratic strategists and donors were reeling. One

31:13

Biden bundler said, there was a strategy of raising all

31:15

this money on the front-end so we could have this

31:18

huge edge. The whole point of it was to come

31:20

out with a sizable cash advantage, and you know, we're

31:22

now even, and it's June. I have no other word

31:24

for it other than depression among Biden supporters. Meanwhile,

31:27

CNN reporting, no surprise here,

31:29

that the Democratic White House is having some very

31:31

severe troubles with Jewish voters, which tends to happen

31:33

when you slow walk aid to the Jewish state

31:36

in a time of war. Apparently,

31:39

there was a White House event, and it hosted

31:41

a bunch of Jews who are very supportive of

31:44

Joe Biden, and they were asking questions like, why

31:46

are you staffing up your entire administration with people

31:48

who hate Israel and are intersectional

31:50

nut jobs? Yeah,

31:52

it turns out a lot of those people, I mean, again, I know

31:54

a lot of liberal Jews did not vote for Trump and will not

31:56

vote for Trump this time, but you know what they will do? Stay

31:58

home rather than voting for Joe Biden. or vote for RFK

32:00

Jr. And

32:03

Joe Biden also happens to be running

32:05

an insanely insular campaign. A

32:08

group of people surround him whose only political

32:10

success was 2020. His

32:13

top three advisors are

32:15

Ron Klain, who is his chief of staff who

32:18

apparently made policy by following X or Twitter. And

32:21

then Ted Kaufman, a confidant who

32:24

has been around since Biden was

32:26

running for president in like 1987, he's 85 years old, and

32:32

then there is also Tom Donilon, who's

32:35

been consistently saying that Joe Biden should just keep doing what he's

32:37

doing. Klain is

32:39

62, Donilon is 65, Kaufman is 85. Many

32:45

of the Biden allies are looking at this team and

32:47

they're saying, this

32:49

does not look like the kind of team that takes you to the championship

32:51

here. Andrew Bates

32:53

has said, president Biden values a diverse point

32:56

of view and is proud of his full team advisors,

32:58

including recent arrivals and longtime aides. But

33:02

a former advisor says Biden's tight circle frustrates

33:04

literally everyone outside of it. My

33:08

favorite part of this particular article is the use of the

33:10

word diverse. According to the New

33:12

York Times, President Biden has a diverse group of advisors,

33:14

but few have the influence of three men in his inner circle. By

33:18

diverse, do you mean three old white men? Because

33:20

those are all three senior citizen white men,

33:22

I noticed. But I guess you get to

33:24

be diverse even as a senior citizen white

33:26

person so long as you are a Democrat.

33:30

What a nice thing. Meanwhile,

33:32

the Biden administration trying to figure out exactly what the

33:34

angle is going to be for the debate this week.

33:36

That, of course, is coming up on Thursday. It's

33:40

pretty obvious, as I said at the outset, that

33:42

this whole thing has been rigged in Joe Biden's favor. He

33:44

offered the debate on the dates with the networks and five

33:46

minutes later, the thing was set up. So Joe Biden had

33:49

pre-rigged that thing with CNN. The

33:51

co-chair of the Biden-Harris campaign is

33:54

openly admitting that not having

33:56

an audience was a Biden request. They say it's better

33:58

for the American people. for the

34:00

American people. It's better for Joe Biden because it turns out

34:02

audiences don't like Joe Biden very much because he's not funny

34:04

and he's not entertaining and he falls asleep at events. Not

34:08

having an audience, not having distractions, not having

34:10

to worry about COVID. I think all those

34:12

things are better for the American people and

34:14

Joe Biden's going to have great debate. Now, Joe

34:16

Biden is trying to figure out exactly what his strategy

34:18

is going to be. They've been trying out this line

34:20

that Joe Biden cares about America and Donald Trump cares

34:22

only about himself. That line is not going to play.

34:24

No one believes Joe Biden deeply cares about the country.

34:27

No one believes this. Joe

34:29

Biden has violated the law himself on multiple

34:31

occasions. He sends his son around the world to pick

34:33

up bags of cash on behalf of his family. He

34:36

will literally drain the strategic oil reserves just

34:38

to lower gas prices in advance of an

34:40

election. No one believes that Joe Biden is

34:43

a self-sacrificing public servant. That is not part

34:45

of Joe Biden's actual appeal at this

34:47

point in time. But they're going to try it

34:49

anyway. Here's Kamala Harris, one of the most charmless

34:51

people in the history of politics, saying that Joe Biden fights

34:53

for Americans while Donald Trump is fighting for himself. Good

34:56

luck with this particular argument. On

34:58

the one hand, you have

35:00

Joe Biden who has spent his

35:02

life and career fighting for

35:05

the well-being of other people, including health

35:07

care. On the other hand,

35:09

you have the former president who spent full

35:11

time when he was president trying to get

35:14

rid of the Affordable Care Act, which if

35:16

he is successful as president,

35:18

again, would mean over 100 million people

35:20

would be stripped of health care coverage. You

35:23

have on the one hand Joe Biden,

35:25

who under his leadership, bipartisan support for

35:27

the first meaningful gun safety legislation

35:29

in 30 years. And

35:32

on the other hand, the former

35:34

president, who when speaking of survivors

35:36

of horrendous gun violence,

35:38

says, get over it and is and

35:41

will proudly talk about how to the

35:43

NRA about how he did nothing on

35:45

the issue. Yeah, so

35:47

I'm just going to point out the issue she's

35:49

talking about barely register with Americans when

35:51

she talks about, well, you know, Joe Biden,

35:54

that dude did gun legislation. That's

35:56

not even a top 15 issue for most Americans

35:58

at this point. So good luck on

36:00

this one. Now, on the other side of

36:03

the aisle, there's some pretty wild

36:05

things happening as well. We'll get to that momentarily. First,

36:07

there's a new movie that comes out in theaters this

36:09

July 4th. It is being brought to you in part

36:11

by Daily Wire+. We are really excited about this. Jeremy

36:13

Boring recently announced our partnership with Angel Studios to bring

36:16

you a brand new film called Sound of Hope, the

36:18

story of Possum Trot. You might know Angel Studios from

36:20

their incredible movie, Sound of Freedom, I'm sure you do.

36:22

That had a huge impact in the world of entertainment

36:24

last year by shining a powerful light on the child

36:26

trafficking crisis. Well, now Angel Studios is back, continuing their

36:29

fight for kids. Daily Wire

36:31

Plus is proud to join them in that fight. Sound of Hope

36:33

is the true story of 22 families from a rural church who

36:35

adopted 77 kids from the foster

36:37

system, which is incredible. Check out the trailer. Are

36:42

you sure these people want us? I

36:45

know they do. You can call me Mama.

36:51

Oh, Lord. No, no,

36:53

no, no! No, no, no! If

36:57

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

36:59

then what do we have? Noise! And

37:02

the children can't take the noise anymore. This

37:06

is something that we must do. 22

37:13

families want to adopt. Whole town wants kids now.

37:17

That's about right. What's

37:20

happening with Possum Trot could mean a huge

37:22

change for the system. I

37:25

have seen the movie. It is deeply meaningful. It

37:27

is inspiring. It's gonna make you want to get off your butt

37:29

and go do something to make the world a better place. Everyone

37:32

needs to see the benefit of having strong religious institutions in our

37:34

culture portrayed more on the big screen. So

37:36

go support the movie. We can't wait for you to see Sound of Hope in

37:39

theaters starting July 1st. And I'll see you next time. Bye.

37:54

And fourth, tickets are on sale

37:56

right now. You can get yours

37:58

at angel.com/Ben. Okay, meanwhile,

38:00

you know, if there's a bunch of weirdos

38:03

inside the Democratic Party, and if the Democratic Party is

38:05

indeed steering in the direction of the weirdos, it would

38:07

behoove the Republican Party not to also steer in the

38:09

direction of the weirdos. So now would be an excellent

38:11

time for Donald Trump and his team

38:13

to excise many of the weirdos from the party. Because

38:16

it turns out if you want to win, having lots

38:18

of weird people in your party is not an amazing

38:20

way to win. What you actually want to do is

38:22

what Donald Trump has been doing, which he's

38:24

been sticking mostly to the issues. Donald

38:26

Trump has actually seized the positional middle ground

38:29

on everything from immigration to, yes, even abortion,

38:31

where he says it's now a state's issue.

38:35

But you know, you don't need a bunch of weirdos in your

38:37

party. Well, it turns out that some

38:39

of the weirdos who've been led into the party over

38:41

the course of the last 10 years are

38:43

now turning on Donald Trump, which is a shocker. It turns

38:46

out that people who are super weird and have a screw

38:48

loose, they tend not to be consistent in their application. According

38:53

to the Washington Post, Arizona delegates to the Republican

38:55

National Convention gathered this month in a Phoenix suburb,

38:57

showing up to get to know each other and

38:59

learn about their duties. Part of

39:01

the presentation included a secret plan to throw

39:03

the party's nomination of Donald Trump for president

39:05

into chaos. The instructions did not

39:07

come from never Trumpers hoping to stop the party

39:10

from nominating a felon when delegates gathered in Milwaukee

39:12

next month. They instead came from avowed America First

39:14

Believers, hatching a challenge from the far right, a

39:16

plot to release the delegates from their pledge to

39:18

support Trump. Why exactly

39:20

are they doing this? Apparently,

39:23

the goal is to block certain

39:25

people from being vice president and

39:27

instead to substitute former national security

39:29

advisor and weird Twitter personality Michael

39:31

Flynn. Apparently,

39:34

a lot of these people think that Trump has surrounded

39:36

himself too much with the deep state, and they think

39:38

that by denying Trump the nomination, that they are going

39:40

to get what they want. Guys,

39:43

this is why you should not give weirdos power. Just

39:45

generally speaking, it's a bad idea. Like

39:48

right now, you're trying to

39:50

defeat Joe Biden. And instead

39:53

of coming up with a plot to hold up Trump's nomination

39:55

at the convention in order to slide in Michael Flynn

39:57

as the VP, which by the way would lose Trump the- the

40:00

election. Vice presidential candidates very

40:02

rarely can win somebody election. They can lose people

40:04

elections. It turns out that if people think that

40:06

your VP is a crazy person, that's

40:08

really, really bad for electoral politics. It

40:11

is generally terrible. And

40:14

the fact that so many local parties in the in the course

40:16

of 2016 to 2024 have been

40:18

converted into sort of weird

40:21

personal animosity gangs has been terrible. I know everybody

40:23

in the Arizona Republican Party, at least I used

40:26

to, and many of the people in the Arizona

40:28

Republican Party are tired of this. They would like

40:30

to win. Arizona used to be a red state

40:32

with a red governor and two red senators. And

40:34

now it is a blue state with a blue

40:36

governor and two blue senators. And that is largely

40:38

due to the wild incompetence and insanity of a

40:40

certain segment of the Arizona Republican Party. You know

40:42

what would be good? Not that Donald Trump would

40:44

like to win Arizona. It turns out that Donald Trump

40:46

really wants to win now, which is great because

40:49

when Donald Trump wants to win, that

40:51

means that he does smarter things. And

40:53

you can see that Donald Trump wants to win. In fact, the

40:55

most encouraging clip that I've seen of Donald Trump, maybe in a

40:58

couple of months, Donald Trump was at

41:00

a rally and people started chanting USA and he said,

41:02

stop chanting and go vote. Yes,

41:05

that's correct. That's what Donald Trump

41:07

needs to do from now all the way

41:09

until the election. Everyone needs to vote. Vote

41:11

early. If you can get a mail-in ballot,

41:13

go vote right now. Do it this very

41:16

instant. Because it turns out your vote counts the same if you do it

41:18

today. And if you do it election day, you don't get any sort

41:20

of medal for doing it election day. Here's

41:22

Donald Trump making the same point. Don't

41:28

give me any of that USA. Go out

41:30

and vote. That's all I have. Correct. Don't

41:32

say USA,

41:34

USA. We love Trump, USA. And

41:36

then November 5th comes

41:39

along or any of the previous days, you

41:41

know, the early voting. But, and

41:43

then you say, darling, I'm just a little tired. I

41:46

think I'll skip the vote. You can't do that. You

41:49

got to vote. No USA right now.

41:51

You just go out and vote. Then

41:53

we'll go USA. Hey, that is right.

41:56

Again, Donald Trump, I think is being much more meticulous

41:58

about this race than he was about 20. 2020 or

42:00

2016, actually. He

42:02

could be freewheeling in 2016 because he was the challenger. Now,

42:05

it's kind of like two incumbents running against each other.

42:07

And so he's being much more careful, which

42:09

is encouraging given the fact that he does have a debate

42:11

coming up. So apparently,

42:13

according to Politico, he might be eschewing formal preparations

42:15

for Thursday's debate, but that doesn't mean he isn't

42:17

thinking about it. In fact,

42:19

the former president couldn't stop talking about his

42:22

upcoming bout against Biden as he rallied in

42:24

Philadelphia on Saturday night. Over

42:26

the course of nearly 90 minutes, Trump interspersed talk of

42:28

his economic plans and complaints about his criminal conviction in

42:30

New York with musings about the potentially consequential political clash.

42:32

By the way, I do have a question about the

42:34

format of the debate that I'm not sure has been

42:36

answered as of yet. There's supposed to be two commercial

42:38

breaks in the middle of the debate. Is

42:41

Joe Biden allowed to sit down? This is a serious question. Is

42:44

Joe Biden allowed to like get a breather for two and

42:46

a half minutes and get pumped up with a child's blood

42:48

in the meantime, like go in the back room, snort some

42:50

coke, come back out? Real

42:52

question. Since Joe Biden tends to fade

42:54

real fast when those uppers start to come down. In

42:59

this rally, Trump mocked Biden for holding up behind

43:01

closed doors at Camp David and he suggested the

43:03

president would turn to illicit substances to boost his

43:05

performance, which I mean, kind of. Here is Trump

43:07

complaining about Biden's senility. I go

43:10

for two hours without teleprompters. And

43:12

if I say one word

43:15

slightly out, they say he's

43:17

cognitively impaired. Whereas

43:21

Biden can run into walls. He

43:25

can fall off the stage. He

43:28

can fall up the stairs. He falls up.

43:40

He can turn around. Listen to this. From

43:43

20,000 feet of paratroopers

43:45

landing right in front of him.

43:48

Everybody, all the foreign leaders, they're watching.

43:52

And he turns around to look at a tree. Right

43:57

now. And

44:00

then they say it was fake, he was fine.

44:03

And then the press goes along with it. They

44:05

go along with it. They say,

44:07

isn't it terrible the way they cover

44:09

him? No, no, he's terrible. The worst

44:11

president in history by far, and

44:13

we have to get about, or

44:15

this country is not gonna survive. I was glad

44:18

to see that Trump actually

44:20

started to talk about increasing

44:22

the expectations. The expectations because Trump is

44:24

making jokes about his senility are super

44:27

low for Biden, but Trump

44:30

is starting to raise those expectations this week and

44:32

he should. He needs to spend this entire week

44:34

raising expectations for Biden sufficient that Biden has to

44:36

do more than just remain breathing during the debate.

44:39

At this particular event, for example, he claimed

44:41

that Biden would quote, get a shot

44:43

in the ass ahead of the bout and then

44:45

come on stage all jacked up, which by the

44:47

way is totally true. Trump also

44:49

said that he would love to have RFK join

44:52

him and Biden on stage. Kennedy failed to qualify.

44:54

That's a smart political move by Trump because it

44:56

looks like he's welcoming a third party candidate whereas

44:58

Joe Biden can't stand a third party candidate. So

45:02

again, if Trump is disciplined, if

45:04

he can win this, I honestly think that if

45:07

Trump is disciplined,

45:10

if he performs well in this debate, you

45:13

could start to see the polls really break open for Trump. This

45:15

could start to look like a blowout pretty quickly. It's

45:17

an inflection point, but that requires

45:20

Trump to actually keep

45:22

control of himself, not get angry,

45:25

stay contained. And

45:28

I think that it looks like he might in

45:30

fact do all those things, which would be a

45:32

pleasant surprise, I think to everybody involved.

45:35

Let's get to more on this in a moment. First, are

45:37

you still struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns? This year,

45:39

45:42

sending millions of demand letters. Now the tax

45:44

season is over. Collection season has begun. Handling

45:46

this alone can be a huge mistake. It

45:48

can cost you thousands of bucks. In these

45:50

challenging times, your best offense is Tax Network

46:37

Okay, meanwhile, the rest of

46:39

the world continues to be a powder keg because

46:41

of the failures of the current president of the

46:43

United States. Over

46:46

the weekend, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, repeated

46:49

his claims that the US was delaying arms

46:51

shipments, which of course is absolutely true. So

46:53

the Biden administration tried to claim that that

46:55

was not the case. That was a lie.

46:58

It turns out that the Biden administration has

47:00

been not using its emergency authority in order

47:02

to expedite the shipment of

47:04

weapons to Israel. The reason that's important, by the

47:06

way, is because the more armed Israel is, the

47:08

less likely there is to be a war in

47:10

the north if Israel is perceived as weak by

47:12

Hezbollah, which is the controlling party in Southern

47:15

Lebanon. And Lebanon's a sovereign country, by the way. So really,

47:17

if there were to be a war up there, it would

47:19

not be a war between Israel and Hezbollah. It would be

47:21

a war between Israel and Lebanon. And there's

47:23

a strong case to be made that Israel should go directly at Beirut

47:26

because if the drug cartels were attacking

47:28

America from across the Southern border, with

47:32

the go-ahead of the central

47:34

government in Mexico City, the United States would hit Mexico

47:36

City. It wouldn't just hit

47:38

the border area. So Israel is

47:40

going to have to exert pressure on Beirut.

47:42

They're gonna have to exert pressure on Southern

47:44

Lebanon. But the stronger Israel looks, the less

47:46

likely that Hezbollah is gonna want that war.

47:50

And by the way, I'm just gonna point out that given

47:52

the slow walking of the aid to Israel, if

47:55

there is a war in Southern Lebanon, Israel is not

47:57

gonna have the ability to be nearly as meticulous as

47:59

it has been. By

50:00

the time the convention comes around, he should

50:02

let Israel finish up major military operations in

50:05

Gaza, go into full-time mop-up operations, which will

50:07

look like Janine or Nablus in the West

50:09

Bank, and then allow Israel to go up

50:11

north well-armed and intimidate Hezbollah into pulling back

50:13

off the border with the help

50:15

of the United States, because it probably will require the

50:18

United States intervening with the Beirut government and saying, listen,

50:20

if you guys start something, it's

50:22

not going to be a long war. America's

50:24

not going to be particularly happy with that.

50:28

And that is what Joe Biden ought to be doing. But,

50:30

you know, Joe Biden is—it's amazing. While

50:33

Joe Biden is slow-walking aid to American allies

50:35

ranging from Ukraine to Israel, certainly

50:38

China is not. It

50:41

turns out that even Taiwan is now short on the kind

50:43

of drones it needs in order to protect itself, according

50:45

to The Wall Street Journal. Taiwan

50:48

could find itself in a lopsided conflict. China, which

50:50

fields the world's largest navy, claims the self-governed island

50:52

as part of its territory and has not ruled

50:54

out the use of force to take control of

50:56

it. Taiwan has been looking

50:58

at Ukrainian defense, and they're looking at some

51:00

of its tactics, like a national drone team. The problem is, a

51:02

lot of these drones are being developed, you guessed it, in China.

51:08

This administration has done such a piss-poor job of

51:10

keeping the world on the straight and narrow. It

51:12

is absolutely astonishing. And it's just another factor, by

51:14

the way, that is leading the world to move

51:16

to the right more generally. Because

51:19

it turns out that if America is not your umbrella, a lot

51:21

of other nations, they're like, you know what? We're

51:23

not letting immigrants, and we don't feel like letting Joe Biden

51:25

dictate terms to us. We don't trust Joe Biden enough. As

51:29

the New York Times points out, at

51:32

the heart of the rapid rise of the nationalist right, with its view

51:34

of immigrants as a direct threat to the essence of France, there

51:36

appears to be a growing feeling among many French people they

51:39

are no longer at home in their own country. That

51:42

is correct. This message, echoed

51:44

by rising nationalist parties across Europe and a

51:47

central theme of Donald Trump's presidential campaign in

51:49

the United States, has proved potent. Nations

51:51

need effective borders that can be sealed tight. That is the

51:53

message. You wonder why that

51:55

is? It's because you want to talk about the

51:57

actual globalism of Joe Biden, the idea that borders are not the same.

52:00

The numbers don't matter. They say that there

52:02

is a family of nations in which everyone

52:04

can be simply wheedled into doing the right

52:06

thing. No one who has a prefrontal cortex

52:08

and look at the world with any level

52:10

of rationality agrees with Joe Biden on that

52:12

because it's ridiculous. Okay,

52:14

you know what folks, it's been a dark time in the news.

52:16

And so it's time to do a thing I like. I know

52:18

we're bringing it back. We're bringing it back

52:21

better than ever. A thing I like, books that I've been

52:23

reading, music I've been listening to, movies I've seen, TV stuff,

52:25

you know, fun stuff. So today's

52:27

thing I like is from my friend, David Horowitz.

52:29

David is an institution in the conservative movement. He

52:31

runs the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He's written a

52:33

huge number of books. He has a brand new

52:35

book out. It's called America Betrayed. It is totally

52:37

worth the read. In it, he traces

52:39

the roots of American ideology all the way back to Martin Luther

52:42

and then forward through the secular

52:44

assault on American ideology. The book

52:46

is totally worth your time. You should go pick up

52:49

a copy of it right now at Amazon. David's

52:51

books are virtually always worth your time. Again,

52:53

he's a terrific writer. He's very clear and

52:56

he does not pull his punches. That book,

52:58

again, is David Horowitz's America Betrayed. Alrighty,

53:01

coming up, I'm gonna do the thing that I hate. It's

53:04

about Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun. Guess

53:07

which side you think I'm going to take. If you're not a
