0:31

last night, radical Congressperson Jamal Bowman,

0:33

Democrat from New York's 16th congressional

0:35

district, he lost his primary by

0:37

nearly 20 points. And this

0:40

is good news for the country, because as

0:42

it turns out, Congress could use fewer complete

0:44

dollars who don't know exactly how doors work

0:46

or what fire alarms are or that Israel

0:48

is not committing a genocide in

0:51

Gaza and also that women were in fact

0:53

raped by Hamas on October 7th. Jamal Bowman

0:55

was one of the worst people in Congress.

0:57

He, of course, will remain in Congress until

1:00

he finishes his term, but he was ousted

1:02

dramatically in a very high spending primary in

1:04

New York's 16th congressional district. And I think

1:07

this has some lessons for politics writ large

1:09

in the United States. Five lessons in particular.

1:11

Lesson number one, it turns out

1:13

that radical intersectional leftism is really, really

1:16

unpopular unless you're in a radical left-wing

1:18

district. So New York's 16th congressional district

1:20

is about 9 percent Jewish. A lot

1:23

of those Jews have voted Democrat

1:25

habitually, but they're not part of the intersectional

1:27

coalition. They've been cast out by the intersectional

1:30

coalition in the aftermath of October 7th. And

1:32

they do not look kindly on Jamal Bowman's

1:34

open appeals to pro-terror supporters. A lot of

1:36

Jamal Bowman's money in this particular race came

1:39

from outside of the district. A lot of

1:41

focus, as we'll get to, has

1:43

been put on the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee,

1:45

putting in some 14 million dollars in add

1:47

money into this race. Jamal Bowman also spent

1:50

millions and millions and millions of dollars. A

1:52

huge amount of that money was coming from

1:54

outside of his district, as he himself has

1:56

acknowledged pretty publicly. And it turns out that

1:58

when you run in district... that is

2:01

a little bit more diverse than say,

2:03

AOC's district, in terms of a Jewish

2:05

population, or Summer Lee's district in Pennsylvania,

2:08

that this makes you vulnerable. Radical leftism

2:10

is not in fact all that popular

2:12

outside of a very few specific enclaves

2:14

in the United States. This is why

2:16

Cori Bush, who's running in Missouri's first

2:18

congressional district, she is also vulnerable, even

2:21

though again, the Jewish population in that

2:23

particular district only represents about 2% of

2:25

the total of that district. She's vulnerable

2:27

anyway, because that district is not nearly

2:29

as radical as say AOC's district, or

2:32

Summer Lee's district, or Pramila Jayapal's

2:34

district in Washington. So

2:37

Jamal Bowman gets absolutely clocked last night. This was

2:39

not a close race. Let's be clear, this

2:41

had not been a close race for a long

2:43

time. The early polling data between Jamal Bowman in

2:45

New York's 16th congressional district, and

2:47

a fellow named George Latimer, who's

2:50

a Westchester County executive, that

2:54

polling data had been very bad for Jamal Bowman for months. So

2:57

the late infusion of money from

2:59

APAC really sort of held the

3:01

ground steady against Jamal Bowman, but he ends

3:03

up losing last night by about 20

3:05

points. And

3:08

that of course shouldn't be a shock, because

3:10

this is not a district built for radicalism. It

3:13

turns out that the Bernie Sanders

3:15

approach to politics is

3:17

a very specific approach that does

3:19

not have a lot of takers outside of a

3:22

few areas of the country. And the Bernie Sanders

3:24

approach, which used to be class-based and now has

3:26

morphed into a sort of class and

3:28

race-based look at

3:30

American politics. Again, that is a very specific

3:33

ideology that it's a luxury belief system in

3:35

other words. And it turns out that again,

3:37

outside of a small group

3:39

of extremely insular places, most people don't

3:41

like it. So Bernie had cut an

3:43

ad for Jamal Bowman. Hakeem Jeffries did

3:46

a last minute round of robocalls, donated

3:48

like five grand to Jamal Bowman, but

3:50

everybody kind of knew that he was

3:52

on the way out. Here was Bernie's

3:54

ad in favor of Jamal Bowman. Yay,

3:57

decide the future of our democracy.

4:00

We need to decide that

4:02

we want universal childcare.

4:04

We want housing as

4:07

a human rights. We

4:11

want universal healthcare. We want

4:14

historic investments in

4:16

home care to take care of our seniors. The

4:20

most important part of this

4:22

election is whether we have

4:24

the courage of people to stand up

4:27

to the oligarchs and tell

4:29

these billionaires that they're not going to control

4:31

our government. Get everybody you can out to

4:33

the world. This ridiculous campaign burst into flames.

4:39

It went down like a Hamas rocket on its own

4:41

hospitals. Jamal Bowman came out

4:43

afterward and he said that he and his supporters will, quote,

4:46

continue to fight the evils of capitalism, militarism, and racism. That

4:49

is who we are. That is who we are going to

4:51

continue to be. Again,

4:53

the evils of capitalism. That

4:55

doesn't tend to be a particularly popular

4:57

perspective outside of a very few people.

5:00

Which brings us to lesson number two.

5:02

Online is not real life. So online,

5:04

the weeping, the gnashing of teeth, the

5:06

wailing over Jamal Bowman's loss is extraordinary.

5:10

But it turns out the vast majority of Americans

5:12

are somewhat moderate on politics. Everybody

5:14

who gets sucked into the echo

5:17

chamber, that is x.com, twitter.com, everybody

5:20

gets sucked into that echo chamber is acting on

5:22

false premises. I

5:24

understand why Congress people do it. It's because it used to

5:27

be that the feedback mechanism you had from your constituents, it

5:29

used to be letters and phone calls. And

5:32

the rule in a congressional office was if you got a

5:34

letter that was representative of maybe a hundred of your constituents,

5:36

you got a phone call that was representative of maybe 50

5:38

of your constituents. But here is the thing. On

5:41

x, a tweet is representative of less

5:43

than zero of your constituents. Many

5:46

of those accounts are sock puppet accounts. Virtually

5:49

all of the accounts won't be from your district. And

5:52

the algorithm favors extreme points of view.

5:55

That is true across social media. So

5:57

following the political trends on x is actually quite a bit of

5:59

a problem. terrible way of doing politics in the United

6:01

States, which is why I've suggested to my fellow Republicans

6:03

that when it comes to campaigning, you might want to

6:05

go out and touch some grass. You might want to

6:08

actually, you know, be outside in the world. In

6:10

this race, Jamal Bowman had 360,000

6:12

Twitter followers. George Latimer had

6:15

6,000. George Latimer clocked him by

6:17

20% in this race. And you

6:19

can see it in real time. We'll get to

6:21

more on this in just one second. First, the

6:23

cost of living is up almost 20% from when

6:25

Joe Biden took office. Families everywhere are feeling that

6:27

burden, but the media keep insisting the economy is

6:30

totally fine. In fact, a recent Business Insider article

6:32

makes the case the American people are to blame

6:34

for this dumpster fire economy because it's

6:36

people's perception of inflation. That's the problem. You see,

6:38

well, this is gaslighting 101. Let me

6:40

help you find ways to save money in this economic

6:42

climate. One way to do that is by switching to

6:45

pure talk. If you're one of many American families looking

6:47

to cut down on your monthly bills, you need

6:49

to start with your cell phone service. I recommend pure

6:51

talk because it's both affordable and reliable. Pure talk is

6:53

rapidly becoming the wireless company of choice for conservatives. Plus

6:56

it's great for families because the more lines you

6:58

add, the more you save. Not to mention pure talk

7:00

is veteran led. Instead of funding DEI initiatives, they fund

7:02

basic services for vets who have served this country. And

7:04

100% of their customer service team

7:06

is located right here in the United States. If

7:08

you are looking for ways to save money for

7:10

your family, I recommend switching on over to pure

7:13

talk. Visit pure talk.com/apparel, explore their offers. When you

7:15

make the switch, you'll get an additional 50% off

7:17

your very first month of coverage.

7:19

Visit pure talk.com/apparel to upgrade your cell phone

7:21

service to America's most dependable 5G network and

7:23

save an extra 50% off that very first

7:25

month. That's pure talk.com/apparel

7:27

today. So you remember

7:30

over the weekend, AOC did this rally for Jamal

7:32

Bowman. It was super weird. She went out there.

7:34

She was jumping around like a crazed,

7:38

glue huffing cheerleader at

7:40

a local high school. It was very

7:42

strange. And then just to prove how

7:45

cool she was, her own campaign released a video of

7:47

her jumping around like a nut job at

7:49

this rally. And here's what it looked like if you

7:51

don't remember this particular horror show. Look

7:59

how cool she is. She's skipping around and jumping

8:01

around, but she's at the club. She

8:05

can't hear you, she can't hear you. Right,

8:09

and this video released by her campaign makes it look like there are a

8:11

lot of people here. Right? Wow,

8:13

look at her, she's so charismatic. Oh my

8:15

god, she's rapping, and she's screaming, and she's

8:17

moving her hands. Okay, now, uh, and she's

8:19

even taking her hair out,

8:22

so that she can show you her hair,

8:24

waving in the wind. Oh my gosh, so

8:26

much charisma. The riz on this lady, so

8:28

fresh, so face. Okay, now, here is the

8:30

reverse angle, here is the

8:32

reverse angle of this exact walk-up. There

8:35

are like five people there, and half of

8:37

them are media. Online is

8:39

not real life. Online is

8:41

not real life. Honest to

8:44

god, I could go to a local restaurant in my

8:46

area, and I would draw a bigger crowd than this

8:48

without any notice. Look

8:51

at this nut job waving her arms, like a

8:53

crazy person, in front of a crowd

8:56

of seven people. My

8:59

goodness, but again, online, not real life. And it turns

9:01

out that it's not real life for pretty much anybody.

9:04

Punchbowl News points out that actually,

9:08

it wasn't last night, just about Jamal Bowman.

9:11

Across the board, moderates did really well.

9:14

In other primary news, they say Representative John

9:16

Curtis defeated former President Trump's endorsed candidates when

9:19

the Republican Senate primary in Utah, Curtis, is

9:21

a moderate on politics

9:23

in Utah. Representative

9:25

Cholestia Malloy of Utah is a head of

9:27

GOP challenger Colby Jenkins, by just four points.

9:30

Malloy was, in fact, endorsed by Trump, but Jenkins

9:32

was endorsed by Mike Lee. As

9:37

Punchbowl points out, victories by Latimer, Curtis, and Malloy

9:39

indicate the center is holding in 2024. And

9:42

that is largely right. It turns out that people

9:45

generally prefer moderation,

9:48

at least in affect, when it comes to

9:50

their politics. Turned

9:53

out that the nutty charisma of like an

9:55

AOC or a Jamal Bowman waving his arms

9:57

like a like a crazy. fat

10:00

bird attempting to get off the ground. Waving his

10:02

arms like a failing windmill the other day at

10:04

that rally. Turns out that that earns you plaudits

10:07

on X and doesn't earn you a lot of

10:09

votes in actual primaries. Which brings us

10:11

to lesson number three. A

10:14

lot of talk about the amount of money that

10:16

APAC put into this race. So APAC is the

10:18

American-Israel Public Affairs Committee. It is not, in fact,

10:20

a branch of the Israeli government. It has frequently

10:23

disagreed with the Israeli government, most famously in 2015

10:25

when the Israeli government was pushing very, very hard

10:27

against the Iran deal. And APAC, which is in

10:29

fact dominated at the top level by political Democrats,

10:31

did nothing about the Iran deal. But

10:35

APAC put a bunch of money into this race. Why did they put a bunch of

10:37

money into this race? They did

10:39

it because Jamal Bowman was already vulnerable.

10:41

Political money follows you into a district

10:43

when you yourself are a crappy candidate

10:45

for your district. Politico

10:48

points out that this race, while

10:50

it was about Israel for a lot of Jewish

10:52

voters, it was not entirely about Israel. It turns

10:54

out that Jamal Bowman is just a terrible Congressperson.

10:58

As Politico points out, other

11:01

outspoken progressives won their primaries handily, including

11:03

AOC, just last night. While

11:05

they did not face electorates quite so primed to

11:07

eject an Israel skeptic, they heeded other lessons. Mind

11:09

your voting record and personal behavior. The

11:12

ads against Bowman barely even mentioned Israel. Instead,

11:14

the focus is on Bowman's votes against Joe

11:16

Biden's infrastructure law and against raising the debt

11:18

ceiling. And there was the fire

11:20

alarm. As The New

11:23

York Times' Nicholas Fandos writes, the timing of

11:25

an episode that resulted in a misdemeanor plea

11:27

and how censure could hardly have been worse.

11:29

Opposites and researchers turned up old blog posts

11:31

stabbling in 9-11 conspiracy theories and publicized video

11:34

of Bowman calling reports Hamas sexually abused Israeli

11:36

women during its attack propaganda. Also,

11:39

don't alienate your friends back home. As

11:41

Politico points out, a more skilled politician might have

11:43

survived those travails with a local support network

11:46

in place, but Bowman didn't have that because

11:48

Latimer had that. That

11:51

means that even the people in Congress, who

11:53

were supposedly his allies, did almost nothing for

11:55

him. Again, Hakeem Jeffries, the House

11:57

Minority Leader, gave him like a $5,000 dollar debt. and

12:00

a late robocall and that was it. According

12:03

to one House Democrat, this wasn't about ideology as much as

12:05

it was about how Bowman went about his job. Quote, nobody

12:07

who cares about them tried to help, tried to stop them,

12:09

tried to say, hey, there's a better way, you don't need

12:11

to do this. You can advocate for

12:14

your position without alienating the vast majority of voters.

12:17

In other words, he was a bad Congress person and

12:20

he was a bad fit for his own district. And

12:22

when you are vulnerable, the money follows you into the

12:25

district. It turns out that high spending

12:27

primaries did not occur in say, the OCS district

12:29

or in some release, both of them are radically

12:31

anti-Israel. The

12:33

money didn't follow them there. Why? Because they weren't

12:35

vulnerable. Bowman made himself vulnerable because he is a

12:37

fool. We'll get to more on

12:39

13:41

number four. Left-wing intersectional

13:44

radicalism is ugly and it's vicious

13:46

and it stinks. So

13:49

the reaction to Jamal Bowman getting his ass kicked. Being

13:51

shown the door, which is a good thing because frankly,

13:53

he doesn't know how doors work. So

13:55

I'm glad that he was shown the door so he

13:57

can finally learn what a door actually does. But

14:01

the omni cause is truly ugly. So the omni cause,

14:03

can't remember who coined this term, but it's a genius

14:05

term. It is a basic

14:09

answer to the question, why is it that if

14:11

you're radical on climate change, you also support Hamas?

14:13

Why is it that if you support transgenderism,

14:16

you very likely also support Hezbollah? Why is

14:18

that? And the answer is the

14:20

omni cause. In other words, and what is the omni

14:22

cause? Tearing away the system, tearing down the system. And

14:24

in practice, it's super ugly. So

14:27

the Sunshine Movement is an environmentalist group.

14:30

And the Sunshine Movement put out a tweet saying,

14:33

there isn't another way to say it. F,

14:36

APAC, our hearts are heavy tonight.

14:38

Jamal Bowman should be heading back to Congress. So

14:42

question, why was he

14:44

so important to you? It

14:47

turns out that George Vladimir will probably vote how you want him

14:49

to vote on many environmental issues. So why is he so important

14:51

to you? And the answer of course, is

14:54

that the omni cause is ever present

14:56

and it's ugly. And it makes absolute

14:58

room for people who hate Jews. Because

15:00

the omni causes central unifying field theory

15:02

of life is that the world

15:04

is made up of victims and victimizers. And

15:06

if you are unsuccessful, if you're a loser,

15:08

it is not because you have made bad

15:10

decisions. It is not because you have to

15:12

change your own life. It is because the

15:14

system is victimizing you. And that means disproportionately

15:16

successful groups are the victimizers. Jews are disproportionately

15:18

successful. This means that they are bad. And

15:21

that philosophy has really ugly consequences. That way you

15:23

can see Jamal Bowman doing this himself. So

15:26

in his giant failure speech,

15:29

in his concession speech, he said a few things of interest. First,

15:32

he thanked the Muslim community in

15:34

his race, which is interesting. Because we've

15:36

been told that the only outside money that came

15:38

in was APAC money. But here he is openly

15:40

admitting that he was getting money from say Dearborn,

15:42

Michigan and San Francisco because the omni cause. I

15:47

want us to

15:49

acknowledge publicly together

15:52

the power

15:55

of the Muslim community. Y'all

16:01

can do

16:04

better than that. You don't

16:08

understand what

16:11

the Muslim community

16:13

specifically did

16:15

in this race. Well,

16:19

I wonder why they intervened in this race. Why this race and not other races. Could

16:22

it have to do with the fact that Jamal

16:24

Bowman is a rape denier? That

16:27

Jamal Bowman has been thoroughly pro-comost throughout the

16:29

entire conflict? Maybe it's that. But

16:33

apparently that sort of outside money is totally fine.

16:35

It's APAC that is obviously the problem. And this

16:37

sort of thing smacks of when a Democrat loses

16:39

to a Republican and then the Democrat complains about

16:41

the NRA, which was the stock in trade for

16:43

20 years. That the

16:45

NRA was a nefarious force. And it wasn't that a

16:47

lot of constituents in the district just didn't like the

16:50

person and also happened to be pro-gun rights. It had

16:52

to be the evils of the NRA. You

16:54

only hear, by the way, the left wing

16:56

complain about money and politics when they lose. Meanwhile,

16:58

the left wing spends exorbitant sums of cash. In

17:00

fact, APAC and yelling

17:02

at APAC and suggesting that APAC is an

17:04

emissary of a foreign nation. That

17:06

is perfectly well within all boundaries, according to

17:09

Democrats. Not anti-Semitic at all to do that,

17:11

to say that Jews are buying the elections.

17:13

But if George Soros spends

17:16

billions of dollars on

17:18

politics to elect local district attorneys,

17:20

to undermine Americanism, and you mention

17:22

George Soros' name, then the left

17:25

calls you an anti-Semite. So

17:28

again, the double standard is pretty glaring. Here

17:30

is Jamal Bowman suggesting that the real reason he lost his

17:32

APAC despite the fact he was losing by nearly 20 points

17:35

before APAC even got into the race. Even

17:39

as I've talked to voters, there are some who are like, I don't

17:41

want to share who I voted for. I don't want my neighbors to

17:43

know. It's got intense. It's

17:45

intense because APAC are bullies. APAC

17:48

intimidates people. And

17:51

my opponent has sided not just with

17:53

APAC, but Republican billionaires. And because he's

17:55

been in office so long and because

17:57

he's been counting the executive giving people...

18:00

people jobs, people are afraid. APAC

18:03

are the bullies. Not the people who side with

18:05

Jamal Bowman who like chant outside synagogues and try

18:07

to beat people up. Those people are excellent allies

18:09

to the campaign. APAC are the bullies. By

18:12

the way, talk about sewing and reaping. The

18:14

justice Democrats who backed Jamal Bowman and their big supporters

18:16

of AOC, there are many of the people who selected

18:18

AOC for her congressional seat in the first place. Little

18:21

bit earlier this year, they put out a

18:24

campaign memo saying they launched a research and polling effort in

18:26

late 2022 to counter APAC's

18:28

attack ads and quote make APAC toxic in

18:30

the Democratic party. They noticed that

18:32

the Jamal Bowman campaign used their material

18:34

in his messaging and polling. They

18:37

then put out a statement after he got his ass kicked quote,

18:39

this race was not a referendum on Israel Palestine policies. Maybe

18:43

it was just a little bit.

18:46

Meanwhile, and the reason that George Latimer won

18:48

is because he's just normal D. That's it,

18:50

he's a normal Democrat. Jamal Bowman is a

18:54

refugee from the radical intersectional insane

18:56

asylum. And George Latimer is a

18:58

normal Democrat in a normal

19:00

Democratic district. Here's George Latimer's victory speech. Find

19:03

a way to come together. This country

19:06

cannot afford to splinter into little pieces.

19:08

And every single representative has to understand

19:10

the necessity for unity so that we

19:13

can move forward as a nation. Okay,

19:18

so that brings us finally to lesson

19:20

number five. The echo chamber

19:22

that we talked about with regard to accent online

19:24

is not real. There is also a media echo

19:26

chamber and the media echo chamber has featured people

19:28

like Jamal Bowman. Remember, Stephen Colbert had on Jamal

19:30

Bowman on his show just a

19:32

couple of nights ago, trying to promote this

19:34

Hamas supporting tool bag who is

19:36

so stupid that he believes that fire

19:39

alarms opened doors. That guy,

19:41

Stephen Colbert had him on to talk about how

19:43

he had principal energy. Remember

19:46

this? AOC has been featured

19:48

on the cover of magazines. The up and

19:50

comers are Ilhan Omar, terrorist supporter, Rashida Tlaib,

19:52

terrorist supporter. These are the people, the media

19:54

love. And guess what? The media

19:57

echo chamber is not helping Democrats. It is

19:59

hurting Democrats because it may. Democrats believe that

20:01

they have momentum when they don't. So

20:04

after his victory, Abby Phillip then grilled George

20:07

Latimer claiming that he was an Islamophobe, which

20:09

is just, I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. Why?

20:12

Because George Latimer pointed out that

20:14

Jamal Bowman had gotten a bunch of support

20:16

from Dearborn, Michigan and San Francisco, which as

20:19

you heard a moment ago, Jamal Bowman literally

20:21

said. Also,

20:23

by the way, when when George Latimer

20:25

suggested that Jamal Bowman was getting support from

20:27

Dearborn, what he meant by that is that

20:29

Dearborn is an incredibly radical pro-Islamist place by

20:32

the data, by the pictures, by the video.

20:35

And that's the people who support Jamal Bowman, which happens

20:37

to be true. But here's Abby Phillip trying to go

20:39

after George Latimer suggesting he's an Islamophobe. And if you

20:41

listen to the media, then the battle

20:43

between Latimer and Bowman is just a battle

20:45

between Islamophobia and antisemitism. When in reality, it's

20:47

a battle between sanity and insanity. But here's

20:49

CNN doing what they do. You're

20:52

critiquing Jamal Bowman for getting money

20:55

from outside of the district from

20:57

Dearborn, Michigan. That was viewed

20:59

as by Bowman,

21:01

an Islamophobic dog whistle. Could

21:04

you just address that and also

21:06

address how you can make that critique

21:08

while also receiving money from outside

21:11

of the district as well? Now, what

21:13

I said was referring to where he

21:15

had raised money from. It's not a

21:17

dog whistle of anything. He had a

21:19

major fundraiser in California. He raised more

21:21

money in California than the last report

21:23

that he made from New York. So

21:26

it wasn't a dog whistle about California.

21:28

And as far as Dearborn, Michigan is

21:30

concerned, Representative Tlaib and the incumbent formed

21:32

a joint fundraising committee on February 14th.

21:35

She draws her money from her district

21:37

and she's based in Dearborn, Michigan. It's

21:39

a geographic reference, not a demographic reference.

21:43

Okay, again, the fact the media have tried to make

21:46

this into an Islamophobia issue just demonstrates

21:48

what the media are. So again, the

21:50

five lessons from Jamal Bowman getting his

21:52

ass kicked. One, radical leftism, radically unpopular

21:54

outside of a few radical left-wing enclaves.

21:56

Two, online is not real life. Three,

21:58

political money is going to follow. vulnerable

22:00

candidates into vulnerable districts. Four, left-wing intersectionalism

22:03

is ugly and radical and stupid. And

22:05

five, the media echo chamber is hurting

22:07

Democrats. Why does this fall matter? It

22:09

has national ramifications, which brings us to

22:11

the presidential race. So Joe Biden, all

22:13

he had to do, the basis of

22:15

his election in 2020, is

22:18

that he was a dead man who was moderate.

22:20

That was the entire thing, that he was the

22:22

George Latimer of the presidential race. He was just

22:24

kind of a normal Democrat in a super abnormal

22:26

time. And then he proceeded to

22:28

turn his administration over to nut jobs. He

22:30

proceeded to turn his administration into a radical

22:32

left policy think tank. Let's get to more

22:34

on this in a moment first. As social

22:36

unrest escalates and crime rates climb, securing the

22:39

safety of your family is really, really important.

22:41

Introducing the Bernal-Less Lethal Pistol Launcher. It's been

22:43

developed by a team of common sense gun

22:45

owners who understand the importance of having choices.

22:47

They engineered the Bernal Launcher as a powerful

22:49

tool for self-defense, allowing users to de-escalate threatening

22:51

situations without resorting to deadly force. Now listen,

22:53

I'm a gun owner. I love the Second

22:56

Amendment. I have four pistols, a shotgun, and

22:58

an AR. But the fact is that if,

23:00

God forbid, I had to do something in

23:02

my home, it might be nice

23:04

to have an alternative option that doesn't involve possible

23:06

death. Well, this is where Berna comes in. They're

23:08

legal problems. If, God forbid, you actually have to

23:11

shoot somebody in your home using lethal force, the

23:13

Berna is a safer, more sensible alternative that could

23:15

potentially save lives on both sides, protecting both the

23:17

user and the aggressor. For those who are adverse

23:19

to owning a firearm, the Berna is the optimal

23:22

choice, delivering formidable stopping power without having to take

23:24

a life. Prevents accidents too. The Berna is an

23:26

indispensable tool to keep you and your family safe.

23:28

It's legal in all 50 states. No background checks

23:30

or permits required. They've received over 15,000 four and

23:33

a half star reviews, and they are hand assembled

23:35

in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Berna isn't just an

23:37

option. It's an essential component of responsible non-lethal protection.

23:48

was interviewed yesterday by Anderson Cooper on CNN.

23:51

And here are the issues she thinks are at

23:53

the top of the heap for Democrats. When you

23:55

say San Francisco supported Jamal Bowman,

23:58

well, San Francisco is now the... Joe Biden's

24:00

policy agenda for 2024, according to Nancy Pelosi.

24:05

I saw a poll today that said among young people,

24:07

18 to 30, that

24:09

Biden was ahead by 23 points, that

24:12

people did care about a woman's right

24:14

to choose, LGBTQ and minority issues. They

24:17

cared about the planet and the

24:19

rest. So, again, we don't agonize.

24:23

We organize to get out that vote. It's

24:27

trans rights and climate issues. That's going to be the campaign

24:29

for Joe Biden. Well, good luck with that. You want to

24:31

run Jamal Bowman's campaign? We'll see how that works for

24:33

you nationally. Meanwhile, the Obama pod bros over at Pod

24:35

Save America, they've been lamenting the state of the race.

24:37

They're sounding the alarm. They're

24:40

saying they think that Biden will eventually pull it out because

24:42

the American people will come around, but they too are freaking out.

24:46

If you look at polls of voters

24:49

who say that they're following the race closely,

24:51

getting their news from TV, getting their news

24:53

from newspapers, Joe Biden has a huge lead

24:55

with those voters, and that's true within the

24:57

Democratic Party as well. I think where he's

25:00

struggling is among younger voters, black voters, Latino

25:02

voters, white voters, people who

25:04

just aren't paying as close attention to politics who

25:06

aren't tuned in. And one of the

25:08

reasons they're not tuned in is because they're cynical about

25:10

politics and they're frustrated about politics. Okay.

25:15

That's... So, the low information voters are going to

25:17

come back to him. Good luck with

25:19

that particular appeal, which brings us

25:21

to the debate. So, the debate is tomorrow

25:23

night. And the question

25:25

is going to be Donald Trump's tactics more

25:27

than anything else. So, Hillary Clinton is back

25:30

and she's worse than ever. She has

25:32

a piece in the New York Times called, I've Devaded

25:34

Trump and Biden. Here's what I'm watching

25:36

for because this is what you need, is input from

25:39

Hillary Clinton. Under all circumstances, we

25:41

need input from Hillary Clinton. So,

25:44

just a reminder, here's how Donald Trump shellacked Hillary

25:46

Clinton during their set of debates, just so we

25:48

have some context for this. Here are some of

25:50

Donald Trump's greatest stats. This

25:53

was locker room talk. I'm

25:55

not proud of it. I apologize to

25:58

my family. I apologize to the Americans.

26:00

American people. If you look at Bill

26:02

Clinton, far worse, minor

26:04

words, and his was action. Hillary Clinton

26:07

attacked those same women. It's just awfully

26:09

good that someone with the

26:11

temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge

26:13

of the law in our country. Because

26:16

you'd be in jail. We have a divided nation

26:18

because people like her, and believe me, she

26:20

has tremendous hate in her heart. And

26:23

when she said deplorables, she meant

26:25

it. She

26:28

clocked her. A lot. That

26:30

was October 2016. So here's what Hillary is

26:33

now advising to Joe Biden. Quote, last

26:35

week I had the time of my life at the

26:37

Tony Awards introducing a song from Sufts, the Broadway musical

26:39

I co-produced about the suffragists who won women the right

26:42

to vote. By the way, you

26:44

want to talk about making a public appeal? That

26:46

is a way to really draw in those blue

26:48

collar voters, just to talk about how you co-produced

26:50

a Broadway musical about the suffragettes and you had

26:52

a great time at the Tony Awards. This is

26:54

a woman of the people, is Hillary Clinton. From

26:57

Sufts to Hamilton, I love theater about politics, but

26:59

not the other way around. Too often we approach

27:01

pivotal moments like this week's debate between President Biden

27:03

and Donald Trump like drama critics. We're picking up

27:05

President, not the best actor. I'm the

27:08

only person to have debated both men, says Hillary

27:10

Clinton. I know the excruciating pressure of walking onto

27:12

that stage and that it is nearly impossible to

27:14

focus on substance when Mr. Trump is involved. In

27:16

our three debates in 2016, he unleashed a blizzard

27:18

of interruptions, insults, and lies that overwhelmed the moderators

27:20

and did a disservice to the country, who tuned

27:22

in to learn about our visions for the country.

27:25

It is a waste of time to try to refute

27:27

Mr. Trump's argument like in a normal debate. It's nearly

27:30

impossible to identify what his arguments even are. He starts

27:32

with nonsense and then digresses into blather. This has only

27:34

gotten worse in the years since we debated. I

27:36

was not surprised that after a recent meeting, several chief executives

27:38

said Trump, as one journalist described it, could not keep a

27:41

straight thought and was all over the map. Yet

27:43

expectations for him are so low that if he doesn't

27:45

literally light himself on fire on Thursday evening, some will

27:47

say he was downright presidential. Now

27:50

this part is correct, actually.

27:53

Not that Trump is scattered and crazy, but

27:55

the reality is that we've talked about the

27:57

low expectations for Joe Biden, namely, the that

27:59

he stays alive and breathes. The

28:02

expectations for Trump are all so low.

28:04

If Trump is not volatile on the

28:06

stage, he probably wins. If

28:09

Trump is not volatile on the stage, if he is in

28:11

control Trump, he probably wins. This part Hillary is correct about.

28:13

We'll get to more on this in just one second first.

28:16

If you've checked out what our public schools

28:18

are doing lately with the kids, it's trash.

28:21

I mean, they are truly indoctrinating kids in

28:23

everything from CRT to radical gender theory. The

28:25

garbage they are pushing is terrible. I literally

28:27

wrote a book on this like 20 years

28:29

ago called Brainwash. A huge percentage of today's

28:31

teachers are graduating from woke universities where Marxist

28:34

professors teach them they must go forth and

28:36

indoctrinate your kids with their ideology. You need

28:38

to get your kids out of government controlled

28:40

schools and into Freedom Project Academy. FPA has

28:42

perfected online learning offering live on demand and

28:45

28:50

29:19

That's freedomforschool.com. She says he

29:22

interrupts and bullies. He stalked me around the stage

29:24

at one point. That was the dumbest thing about

29:26

the 2016 election when Hillary was claiming that Donald

29:28

Trump was walking around following her on the stage

29:30

and threatening her. It is

29:32

a really, really ridiculous pseudo-feminist line. She

29:35

says he wants to appear dominant and throw his opponent

29:37

off balance. These ploys will fall flat if Mr. Biden

29:39

is as direct and forceful as he was when engaging

29:42

Republican hecklers at the State of the Union address in

29:44

March. The president has facts and truth on his side.

29:47

In 2016, I prepared intensely for debate, says Hillary Clinton,

29:49

because I knew I had to find a way to

29:51

cut through Mr. Trump's antics and help the American people

29:53

understand what was really at stake. In

29:55

90-minute mock debates on an identical stage, I practiced keeping my

29:58

cool in the face of hard questions and outright lies. about

30:00

my record and character. A longtime

30:02

advisor played Mr. Trump and did everything he could do

30:04

to provoke, rattle, and enrage me. It worked. Unfortunately,

30:07

Mr. Biden starts from a disadvantage because there's no way

30:09

he can spend as much time preparing as I did

30:11

eight years ago. Being president isn't a day

30:13

job. It's in everything, everywhere, all at once job. As

30:15

viewers, we should try not to get hung up on

30:17

theatrics. Here are three things to watch for. So she's

30:19

basically admitting from the outset that Trump is likely to

30:22

win the debate. She's admitting

30:24

that in theatrical terms, Trump is likely to

30:26

win. But here's what she says, quote, first,

30:28

pay attention to how the candidates talk about

30:30

people, not just policies. And

30:32

then she talks about Roe versus Wade. She

30:35

says, on Thursday, Trump will most likely say he wants

30:37

to leave abortion to the States. He hopes that sound

30:39

moderate. But it really means he's endorsing the most

30:42

extreme abortion, yada, yada, yada. Okay, but

30:46

can Joe Biden talk credibly about people?

30:48

He's the least sympathetic person in American

30:50

politics. Every time something bad

30:53

happens to someone else, all he does is reflect it

30:55

back at himself and talk about how heartbroken he was

30:57

when Beau died. Second,

30:59

says Hillary Clinton, Americans should try

31:01

to see through the bluster and focus on the

31:03

fundamentals at stake. Okay,

31:06

again, that is a kind of call for

31:08

everyone to focus in on January 6th. That's not going to

31:10

work if Trump is able to point out, clearly,

31:12

that this race is about 2024, not about 2020. Finally,

31:16

she says third, when you see these two men

31:18

side by side, think about the real choice in

31:20

this election. It's between chaos and competence. Again, this

31:22

dog is not going to hunt because Joe Biden

31:24

is not competent and he is chaotic. The world

31:26

is a significantly more chaotic place under Joe Biden

31:29

than it was under Donald Trump. It

31:31

doesn't matter what Trump tweets. It matters how the

31:33

world is. The world is a worst place because

31:35

Joe Biden is president of the United

31:37

States. Now, for his part, Donald Trump is doing

31:39

the right thing. He is now increasing expectations ahead

31:42

of the debate for Joe Biden, as

31:44

I've suggested that he should do for the last couple of

31:46

months. Setting the bar

31:48

higher than not dead would be good. Here

31:50

was Donald Trump the other day saying that, actually, Joe

31:52

Biden is a worthy debater when they've jabbed him full

31:54

of drugs, which is true. Do

31:57

you believe he's in cognitive decline, Mr. President? Well, I should. I

32:00

shouldn't be the one to say that, but I don't think he's

32:02

doing particularly well. But I didn't think he was well 25 years

32:04

ago. I thought he was not a smart

32:06

person. And that was told to me by a

32:09

certain member of the Kennedy family who was actually

32:11

very friendly with me through a Palm

32:13

Beach relationship. And

32:15

I was told that very strongly. So

32:18

I was never a fan of his. But I

32:20

will say he beat Paul

32:22

Ryan still years ago, but

32:24

he beat Paul Ryan pretty badly. But

32:26

I assume he's going to be somebody

32:30

that will be a worthy debater. I

32:32

would say I think I don't

32:34

want to underestimate him. Again,

32:37

that is smart. Meanwhile, the White House

32:40

is making a bit of a critical mistake. Karine Jean-Pierre

32:42

says Joe Biden will meet the moment. So

32:44

Democrats are actually now making the mistake that Trump

32:47

was making earlier. They're now talking down Trump and

32:49

talking up their boy. That's the wrong move. What

32:51

they actually should be doing is saying, listen,

32:53

Joe Biden is in fact 81 years old,

32:55

not everybody knows that he's a solid, genteel

32:57

citizen. And Donald Trump is

32:59

a rough and tough debater. It's going to be a rough

33:02

debate for President Biden, but we expect that he'll pull through.

33:04

Instead, they're really saying that Joe Biden is going to be

33:06

like a masterful commander of the material. Good luck.

33:09

As you know, when there is

33:11

an opportunity for this president to

33:13

speak to millions of Americans, he

33:15

shows up and he meets the

33:17

moment. So obviously the president's going

33:19

to look forward to Thursday doing

33:21

just that, laying out what

33:24

he normally does, what he's done the last three

33:26

and a half years, how he's going to continue

33:28

to build on the economy. We're talking about historic

33:32

numbers and creating jobs, low

33:35

unemployment rate, and not forgetting

33:37

that we can't leave communities

33:39

that have been normally left behind behind.

33:43

So again, talk up your guy and talk down Trump.

33:46

This is what Democrats are now attempting to do.

33:49

We'll see if that works out for them. I don't

33:51

know. I feel like they're not making the mistake that

33:53

I warned Trump not to make, which is don't lower

33:55

expectations for your opponent. They're not basically

33:57

suggesting that Trump is going to set himself on fire on the

33:59

stage. Hillary herself is saying this and

34:01

she's right about this actually. The Democrats have

34:04

set the bar for Trump at, does not

34:06

actually explode into flames. Does

34:08

not experience instantaneous conflagration.

34:12

I mean, okay, you want to lower that bar for Trump. That

34:15

might not go the way you expect it to

34:17

go. In just one second, we'll get to Joe

34:20

Biden's attempt to basically buy off dictatorships to lower

34:22

oil prices. First, tomorrow night, you have a unique

34:24

opportunity to watch the presidential debate with commentary that

34:26

actually makes some sense. Here is the deal. Daily

34:28

Wire Plus is simulcasting the whole debate. But let's

34:31

34:33

rhetoric. That's why we're hosting a special live Daily

34:35

Wire backstage you absolutely can't miss. Bringing you live,

34:37

unfiltered commentary from the most trusted voices in conservative

34:50

down every claim, every policy point, yes, every leftist talking

34:52

point the moderators inevitably slip in. Because we believe in

34:55

giving you the full story, we're not stopping when the

34:57

debate ends. Our post-show recap will dissect what all this

live on Daily Wire backstage tomorrow night starting at 8.30

35:04

p.m. Eastern over at dailywire.com.

35:07

Meanwhile, Joe Biden, desperate for reelection, is now

35:09

going soft, even softer than normal, on Russia

35:11

and Iran. According to The Wall Street Journal,

35:13

the Biden administration wants to keep gas prices

35:16

stable ahead of the election by encouraging oil

35:18

to flow into global markets. The effort has

35:20

run square into another priority, being tough on

35:22

adversaries Russia, Iran and Venezuela. Remember,

35:25

it's the Democrats and the media who've been claiming that

35:27

Donald Trump is the cat's paw of the Russians. Meanwhile,

35:29

it is Joe Biden who's making concessions to the

35:31

Russians in the middle of a war with Ukraine,

35:34

the Iranians in the middle of a multi-front

35:36

war that they are waging against Israel, and

35:38

Venezuela as, by the way, it threatens

35:40

to invade a neighboring country in

35:43

South America. According to The

35:45

Wall Street Journal, the policy has led to

35:47

softer than expected sanctions on major oil producers,

35:49

according to diplomats, former government officials, and energy

35:51

industry players briefed by current officials. A

35:54

case in point arrived on Tuesday when the U.S.

35:56

levied fresh sanctions against Iran, the measures affect a

35:58

fraction of the country's oil exports, unlikely

36:00

to gum up global markets, according to analysts. A

36:04

senior administration official said the president has wanted to

36:06

do everything he could to make sure American consumers

36:08

have the lowest possible price at the pump, as

36:10

it affects families' daily lives. So while Iran is mobilizing

36:12

terrorists all around the Middle East, Joe Biden is going

36:14

easy on them in terms of sanctions to ensure lower

36:16

oil prices for his real act. And he's doing the

36:19

same thing in Russia, and he's doing the same thing

36:21

in his Venezuela. What a coward he is. Truly

36:23

a coward. Meanwhile, his immigration

36:26

policy continues to be an enormous, dangerous

36:28

failure in the shock report of the

36:30

day. NBC News is

36:32

now reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has

36:34

identified over 400 immigrants

36:36

who have come to the U.S. from Central

36:39

Asia and elsewhere as, quote, subjects of concern

36:41

because they were brought in by an ISIS-affiliated

36:43

human smuggling network. Here is

36:45

NBC's report on this shocking story. NBC

36:49

News has learned more than 50 migrants

36:51

with potential ties to an

36:53

ISIS-affiliated smuggling network are at

36:55

large in America. He

36:58

illegally crossed the border and were released

37:00

into the U.S. by Border Patrol because

37:02

there was no information suggesting terror ties

37:04

at the time. Now their

37:06

whereabouts are unknown, as immigration agents look

37:08

to arrest them, U.S. officials tell us.

37:11

Saying they're among a group of over 400 migrants

37:14

DHS identified in the

37:16

U.S. from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan,

37:18

Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and

37:20

Russia as subjects of concern because

37:22

they were brought to the U.S.

37:25

by an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network. Again,

37:29

this is all because of Joe Biden's loose immigration

37:31

policy. The question when it comes to immigration is

37:33

how many Americans are going to have to die

37:35

in order for Joe Biden to win reelection, which

37:38

brings up the story of Jocelyn Nungare in

37:41

Houston. She was a 12-year-old girl

37:43

who was killed by an illegal

37:45

immigrant. According to The New York

37:47

Times, the killing of a 12-year-old Houston girl found last

37:49

week in a shallow water of a city drainage ditch

37:51

after having been strangled was already a horrific crime. It

37:54

doesn't get any worse, said the city's mayor John Whitmer.

37:57

Then investigators arrested two recent Venezuelan migrants in charge of

37:59

the investigation. with killing the girl. Suddenly

38:01

the killing, which had ripped apart a Houston family, became

38:04

the latest flashpoint in a debate over immigration. Notice the

38:06

New York Times, the way that it works, is when

38:08

a story does not benefit Democrats, the story

38:10

is about Republicans pouncing. That is always the

38:13

way that this works, always and forever. Governor

38:15

Greg Abbott of Texas has urged the death penalty for the men,

38:18

saying Jocelyn would, quote, be alive today if Biden enforced

38:20

immigration laws to the border. That, of

38:22

course, is true. And the

38:25

fact is that Joe Biden's policies will get people

38:27

around the world killed all so he can win

38:29

reelection. Joe Biden's open border policies are

38:31

a stop to his radical left. And going

38:33

back to Jamal Bowman, it ain't gonna win an election. Radical

38:36

left-wing policies are unpopular. Joe Biden is getting

38:38

his ass kicked on the immigration issue by

38:40

Donald Trump. And when it comes

38:42

to foreign policy, going soft on Russia and Iran

38:44

and Venezuela in order to lower the price of

38:46

gas at the pump by pennies after

38:49

a 44% increase in average national gas

38:51

price, that ain't gonna do it either. But

38:53

Joe Biden is desperate at this point. How desperate is Joe Biden

38:56

at this point? Well, he's pulling out all the stops

38:59

yesterday in the stupidest story of the day. 16

39:01

Nobel Prize-winning economists suggested that Donald Trump would

39:04

ruin the economy. And here's

39:06

what Axios says. 16 Nobel Prize-winning

39:08

economists are jumping into the presidential campaign with a

39:10

stark warning. Former President Trump's plans would reignite inflation

39:12

and cause lasting harm to the global economy if

39:14

he wins in November. The Nobel

39:16

laureates are sending their academic prestige to a

39:19

political argument that Biden administration has been making

39:21

for weeks. Inflation would be worse under Trump.

39:25

Democrats have been attempting to play off the fact

39:27

that Joe Biden has brought about 40 year highs

39:29

in inflation. These economists claim that

39:33

Donald Trump's policies are

39:35

going to increase inflation. The

39:37

question I have is how many of these so-called

39:40

genius economists predicted inflation at the

39:43

beginning of Joe Biden's term? The

39:46

answer, as far as I'm aware, none of them. The

39:49

message has been spearheaded by, guess, wait for

39:51

it, Joseph Stiglitz. He won the

39:54

Nobel Prize for Economics in 2001. And

39:57

he is also a socialist redistributionist. He

40:00

was joined by a bunch of other economists, none of whom

40:02

I'm aware, actually predicted the increase in

40:05

prices thanks to Joe Biden's economic plans. So

40:07

if they didn't predict the last inflationary cycle,

40:09

I'm not exactly going to rely on them

40:11

to predict this inflationary cycle. This all smacks

40:13

of that time 51 so-called intelligence

40:16

experts testified just before the 2020

40:18

election that Joe Biden's son

40:20

Hunter had a laptop and that laptop was

40:22

rushing disinformation. So

40:24

I don't buy it. You trotting out a

40:26

bunch of like-minded Nobel Prize winners doesn't

40:29

mean that anyone is going to believe you. Meanwhile

40:32

Jenny Ellen, the Treasury Secretary, she

40:34

is trying to blame Donald Trump's tax

40:36

cuts and jobs act for economic shortcomings,

40:38

which again, I noticed that

40:40

those economic shortcomings only became apparent with COVID

40:43

and then were exacerbated by Joe Biden entering

40:45

office and spending more money than God. The

40:49

signature policy from the

40:51

Trump years was the tax cutting jobs

40:54

act and it promised

40:56

an investment boom, which

40:58

really did not materialize. It

41:01

gave huge tax breaks

41:03

to corporations and to

41:05

wealthy individuals and

41:08

it resulted in an enormous increase

41:10

in the deficit and

41:12

lowered tax revenues below

41:15

historic norms. And

41:17

I think it's responsible for

41:20

many of the problems

41:22

that we face now

41:24

with our fiscal trajectory.

41:27

And so that would concern me to leave

41:29

all of that in place. Lane

41:33

points out that people only fail up as long as

41:35

they are Democrats in the industry of economics. Jenny Ellen

41:37

was of course the chair of the Federal Reserve from

41:39

2014 to 2018 with her loose

41:43

fiscal policy. So

41:45

again, trying these people out to pretend the economy is

41:47

fine except for Trump, that is not going to work.

41:50

Meanwhile in other news from the experts,

41:53

the Surgeon General of the United States

41:55

has now declared that there

41:57

is a national public.

42:00

health crisis with regard to

42:02

guns. Again, if

42:04

this is the Biden administration pitch, that people like

42:07

this guy, that

42:09

people like the surgeon general know

42:11

what they're talking about, this is Vivek Murthy, that

42:14

gun violence is a public health emergency,

42:18

it's just clown, it's clown world over there. Here's

42:21

Vivek Murthy claiming that the guns

42:23

are the problem, of course. I guess they're contagious.

42:25

I know whenever I see a gun crime on TV, a

42:28

crime including a gun, my gun

42:30

is out of control. I go to my safe, I

42:32

open it up, all four of my pistols, my shotgun

42:34

and my AR, all immediately jump out into my hands

42:37

and start firing randomly because it's contagious. Here

42:39

we go. Today,

42:41

for the first time in the history of

42:43

our office, I am issuing

42:45

a surgeon general's advisory on firearm

42:47

violence. It outlines the

42:50

urgent threat firearm violence poses to the

42:52

health and wellbeing of our country. The

42:54

surgeon general's advisory lays out the approach we

42:56

can take to address firearm violence

42:58

as the public health crisis that it

43:01

is. This includes

43:03

implementing community violence prevention programs

43:05

and firearm risk reduction strategies,

43:08

improving access to mental health care for

43:11

those exposed to or at risk for

43:13

firearm violence. Everything's

43:15

a public health crisis, right? He declared loneliness a

43:17

public health crisis as well. Now

43:20

this is one of the problems when you see government

43:22

as the solution rather than government as part of the

43:24

problem. Meanwhile, other experts are coming out now and

43:27

trying to claim that pro-life laws are

43:29

somehow increasing the mortality rate. In

43:32

the greatest example of manipulating statistics

43:34

I've seen in the recent past, according

43:36

to the Associated Press, in the wake

43:38

of Texas' abortion ban, the state's infant death

43:40

rate increased and more died of birth defects,

43:42

according to a study published by Johns Hopkins

43:45

University. The researchers looked at how many

43:47

infants died before their first birthday after Texas adopted

43:49

its abortion ban in September, 2021. They

43:51

compared infant deaths in Texas to those in 28 states, some

43:54

also with restrictions. They calculated there were 216 more

43:56

deaths in Texas than expected

43:58

between March and December, the next year. year. They

44:01

said the 2022 mortality rate for inference went up 8% to

44:03

5.75 per 1000 live births

44:06

compared to a 2% increase for the rest of

44:08

the United States. Okay, so let me

44:10

explain how to manipulate statistics here.

44:12

This is like an amazing classic example. So

44:14

what they are saying is that

44:16

because of the abortion ban, more children

44:18

were born who had congenital defects

44:21

and problems and who died in their first

44:23

year of life. And so overall, the number

44:25

of babies who were born who died, the

44:27

rate went up. Okay,

44:29

well, that's a weird way of

44:31

putting that stat because I have another stat for you.

44:34

Before the abortion ban, let's

44:36

say all those babies and many other

44:38

babies were killed in the womb. It

44:41

turns out their mortality rate was 100%, not 5.75 per 1000,

44:43

100%. In other words, when more babies live who otherwise would

44:53

have been aborted, then also some

44:56

of those babies who have defects

44:58

are going to die. But

45:02

if you had the abortion ban not in place,

45:04

not only would all of those babies have died,

45:07

but many other babies also would have died. And

45:12

you want to undermine the expert class, particularly in medicine, this is

45:14

the way to do it. Send

45:16

out the surgeon general to talk about gun

45:18

violence and then proclaim at Johns Hopkins University

45:20

that the infant mortality rate went up because

45:22

you were killing fewer babies in the womb.

45:26

Really solid stuff there from our scientific experts,

45:28

tough science ruling again. It's more

45:30

on this in a moment. First, you're still

45:32

struggling with those back taxes or unfiled returns.

by adding 20,000 new agents and sending millions

45:39

of demand letters. Handling this alone can be

45:41

a huge mistake and cost you thousands of

45:43

46:46

46:48

did have a bad day in the courts yesterday.

46:50

Two separate federal courts ruled against Joe Biden's latest

46:52

attempt to end around the Supreme Court. Remember

46:54

that time that Joe Biden says that he really, really believes in the rule of law?

46:57

Like he loves the rule of law. Especially when Donald Trump is

46:59

getting convicted. Well he

47:02

doesn't love the rule of law so much. Particularly when it

47:04

comes to the Supreme Court. According

47:06

to reason.com, the new loan

47:08

forgiveness plan known as the SAVE plan which

47:10

would discharge at least $156 billion in

47:12

federally backed student loan debt is a

47:15

successor to the one the Supreme Court

47:17

invalidated in Biden versus Nebraska. But two

47:19

separate federal district courts ruled against its

47:21

legality in lawsuits brought by different coalitions

47:23

of GOP led states. By

47:25

the way the judges who ruled against Joe

47:27

Biden here were both Barack Obama appointees. So

47:31

he's just having a rough time in the courts. So

47:33

he's just going to rail against the courts and so are

47:35

his allies. Here's Nancy Pelosi suggesting the Supreme Court has gone

47:37

rogue. Which is weird because they just

47:40

did like an 8-1 decision in favor of particular

47:42

aspects of gun control for example. But here's Nancy.

47:44

Again these are all the institutionalists. These are the

47:46

people who are going to save democracy. And

47:49

that would be like Nancy Pelosi ripping on the Supreme Court and saying

47:51

it's corrupt now. You

47:53

know these they've yet to rule on this immunity

47:55

thing all this thing about Alito

47:57

and the flags and Clarence Thomas and his

47:59

I mean, do you have confidence in the

48:01

Supreme Court? No,

48:04

I think they've gone rogue. It's most

48:06

unfortunate. But it's unfortunate further to

48:08

see what the other justice, what

48:10

happened to the Chief Justice? Did

48:14

he go weak or did he go rogue? I don't

48:16

know. Okay.

48:19

Yeah, these are people who deeply respect the rule of

48:21

law. I'm sure that the anchors

48:24

at the debate tomorrow night will ask Joe Biden about that,

48:26

his respect for the rule of law while he rips on

48:28

the Supreme Court. That would be the actual

48:30

question, because they're going to ask

48:32

Donald Trump about January 6th and election denial and

48:35

all of that kind of stuff, and suggest he's

48:37

a threat to democracy and the institutions of the

48:39

republic. Will they ask Joe Biden about the fact

48:41

that his party has threatened to pack the court

48:43

and that Joe Biden says that the Supreme Court

48:45

is now filled with corrupt people and has lost

48:47

its legitimacy? I wonder. I

48:49

wonder. Okay, so speaking of CNN,

48:52

obviously, they're going to moderate the debate tomorrow

48:54

night, and why not with all of their

48:56

journalistic credibility. So yesterday, CNN's Sarah Sidner had

48:59

on a drag queen who calls

49:01

himself Brigitte Bandit to

49:04

talk about how it's a scary time to exist

49:06

in America as a drag queen. I

49:08

noticed it's not scary enough for you not to be on

49:10

national TV wearing drag, so it

49:12

doesn't seem that scary. Honestly,

49:14

when I first saw this, I wondered which one of these people was the CNN anchor,

49:17

because CNN is so filled with clowns. Here

49:20

is a CNN anchor interviewing

49:22

a man dressed up as a cartoon

49:24

woman, who we are all

49:26

supposed to take very seriously, and

49:29

we are all supposed to worship before the power

49:31

of drag and apparently acknowledge that this is what

49:33

the founders saw when they enshrined the First Amendment.

49:38

We already see so many attacks on our queer community. I

49:41

already don't feel safe in my

49:43

own hometown, just dressed in drag

49:46

like this, and it's very scary for

49:48

queer people to exist in a time

49:50

where we see this kind of rhetoric

49:53

being pushed by our lawmakers and the people

49:56

who should care about other issues that actually affect

49:58

the American people. other

50:01

than attacking our

50:03

community, our LGBTQIA plus community. It's

50:06

very disappointing and I hope for better for

50:08

our country. Why

50:10

would people look weirdly at this person? Why? I don't understand. But

50:15

I mean, that looks perfectly normal to me. Why

50:17

would you give weird looks to that person walking

50:19

down the street with the

50:21

eyebrows and the stewardess

50:23

outfit from 1955 but off

50:26

of a plastic Barbie doll and

50:28

the weird eye makeup and, you know, being a

50:30

dude? What?

50:32

Why would you look weirdly at that? But

50:34

CNN has its own perspective on this. Here's

50:37

Sarah Sinder from CNN praising the look. The

50:41

Queens are calling on lawmakers to pass a

50:43

National Equality Act. It could amend the

50:45

1964 Civil Rights Act to

50:47

provide explicit protections for

50:49

LGBTQ individuals. Joining me now

50:51

is drag queen and activist Bridget Bandit.

50:55

Thank you, darling. Wow. What a

50:57

wonderful look you have this morning.

51:00

I know that took you some time. I'm

51:04

curious. I

51:08

apparently I've been informed I'm in error. That's

51:10

a woman dressed as a man dressed as

51:12

a woman. I'm

51:15

not kidding. It's a drag queen who is

51:17

a woman. So

51:21

we now have what we've now

51:23

moved beyond the

51:25

boundaries of logic. So this woman

51:28

couldn't just, you know, be a woman. She

51:30

had to dress up as a man dressed

51:33

up as a woman. But it's society

51:35

that has a problem, folks. It's society

51:37

and our lack of tolerance that

51:40

has a woman. That is

51:42

what Bandit is non binary

51:44

and uses both she, her and they, them pronouns.

51:48

Wow. What a country we've created

51:50

for ourselves, folks. George Washington

51:52

would have been so proud. Already

51:55
