Well, folks, every day under Joe Biden's administration is

0:02

a political ad cut for Donald Trump. The

0:04

latest example comes courtesy of America's southern border.

0:06

And there is so much going on at

0:08

the southern border. If you watch Divided States

0:10

of Biden episode one, which is where we

0:12

actually went down to the border and checked

0:14

it out, you can see that the border

0:16

is basically wide open. There are no border

0:18

patrol agents where they should be. They are

0:20

all too busy processing illegal immigrants and letting

0:22

them into the country. Well, yesterday

0:25

at the border, there was a

0:27

major conflagration when in Texas, about

0:30

300 illegal immigrants decided to storm one of

0:32

the sections of the Texas State National Park,

0:34

where they directed some border wire. They stormed

0:37

across the border, most of them

0:39

being young males, and started

0:41

toppling over American soldiers, started assaulting the

0:43

American border patrol. Here's what it looked

0:45

like. So

0:50

this is insane, right? It's effectively riotous

0:53

circumstances. You can see these illegal immigrants

0:55

who push their way through the border,

0:58

and then they just start pushing their

1:00

way past the soldiers, past

1:02

the border patrol, and they rush up to the fence.

1:04

Now, the fence is still closed, so they're rushing the

1:06

way past border wall, but there's another fence. And

1:09

now they are waving their arms to

1:11

suggest that this is how borders normally work, is

1:13

totally crazy. Of course, this is not true. And

1:16

it's being facilitated by the Mexican drug cartels. To

1:18

understand what's going on on the border, you have

1:20

to understand the people in control of the southern

1:22

border are, in fact, the Mexican drug cartels who

1:25

decide where every single illegal immigrant

1:27

gets dropped off. There are no—this is not

1:29

the days of the 1980s when you

1:31

have illegal immigrants singly or in pairs or as

1:33

families attempting to cross the desert to get into

1:35

the United States. You now have drug cartels that

1:37

literally take people on trucks directly to the border

1:39

and drop them off where they want to be

1:41

dropped off for a couple purposes.

1:43

One, they understand that if those people arrive at

1:45

the border and are then processed, they're going to

1:47

enter the country. And two, if you can force

1:50

border patrol to congregate around places like this, you

1:52

know where the border patrol ain't? The border patrol

1:54

is not in the areas where it needs to

1:56

be interdicting all of the

1:58

fentanyl that is crossing the border by literally— 10s

2:00

of thousands of pounds and then killing 100,000 Americans

2:02

a year. That's episode two of the divided states of

2:05

Biden on fentanyl. That is coming on Monday, where we

2:07

go inside that story. It has a lot to do

2:09

with the border crisis. They are very much intertwined. This

2:12

is Joe Biden's policy. Joe Biden's policy is

2:14

to have an open border. Understand that the

2:16

Biden administration legitimately sued the state of Texas

2:18

to prevent them from passing a law to

2:21

make it illegal to be an illegal immigrant

2:23

in the state of Texas and make you

2:25

subject to deportation. Joe Biden wants the illegal

2:27

immigrants in the country, and he wants the

2:29

illegal immigrants in the country for presumably one

2:32

of three reasons. Those reasons would

2:34

either be economic, meaning he wants an underclass of

2:36

people who are not going to be paid the

2:38

prevailing minimum wage to make sure that the economy

2:40

does not collapse on his watch even as

2:42

he artificially boosts wages for his union

2:44

cronies. Two, he wants to make

2:47

sure that a huge number of people cross

2:49

America's southern border and then eventually gain their

2:51

citizenship because a lot of these young men

2:53

who are crossing the border will get married

2:55

to American citizens and then gain their citizenship

2:57

that way. And then he hopes that those

2:59

people will become Democratic voters. And three, ideologically,

3:01

there's a huge segment of the Democratic Party

3:03

that believes that America is bad and should not

3:05

have borders. And that actually any westernized

3:07

country should not have borders, that somehow the

3:09

West, being an exploitative capitalist system, that system

3:12

has been terrible. It has been terrible to

3:14

people all over the world, and therefore the

3:16

West owes it to people all over the

3:18

world, and free, that people should just

3:20

be able to cross borders willy-nilly. Not

3:22

even a libertarian point of view, an

3:25

anti-western point of view. That is a

3:27

large swath of the Democratic political base.

3:29

Same sorts of people who really like Hamas

3:31

over in Dearborn, Michigan, for example, or the people

3:33

who are protesting on college campuses. So

3:36

those reasons are motivating Joe Biden here,

3:38

obviously, in whatever proportion you seek to

3:40

attribute to that. Whatever

3:43

the case, it is

3:45

very clear that the Democratic Party does not

3:48

care about illegal immigration or is actively

3:50

facilitating it. This is not the only

3:52

example, by the way, is what was happening down at the

3:54

border wall in El Paso, Texas. In

3:56

fact, I think a significantly worse example is what

3:58

was said yesterday by the mass of... Massachusetts

4:00

Governor Maura Healy. So

4:02

she was asked about an illegal immigrant raping

4:04

a 14-year-old in her state. And

4:07

here was her answer. We

4:10

asked Governor Healy if she can prevent

4:12

this type of incident from happening again.

4:15

Unfortunately, we have security and systems

4:17

in place. We have vetting in

4:19

place. It is unfortunate

4:21

that from time to time things will

4:23

happen. You know, from time

4:25

to time, or you could attempt to pressure your

4:27

own party to shut the border since they are in control of the border.

4:34

Joe Biden could make it

4:36

hard to cross the border today. He dismantled all

4:38

of the systems that Donald Trump had put in

4:40

place on America's southern border. He

4:43

dismantled remain in Mexico. He changed the definition

4:45

of what it meant to apply for asylum.

4:49

These two changes alone are responsible for

4:51

7 to 10 million illegal immigrants entering

4:53

the country since Joe Biden took office. So

4:55

yesterday we held an event over at the

4:57

Trump Doral. I was co-hosting a fundraiser for

4:59

President Trump. I had a chance to speak

5:02

with President Trump about the border, about the

5:04

fentanyl crisis. I will say the president is

5:06

in very, very good spirits about the election,

5:08

as he should be, given the polling data.

5:12

But what we talked about at some length

5:14

was the simple fact that his policies on

5:16

the border were significantly better than Joe Biden's.

5:18

What he actually said is this issue is

5:20

a horrible issue for America and a great

5:22

issue for Republicans, specifically because Joe Biden has

5:24

made it such a horrible issue for the

5:26

United States. And he is right about that.

5:28

Joe Biden has opened that border wide. He

5:31

has opened it absolutely wide. It's

5:33

insane. And that's going to – that's not

5:35

going to bear benefits for Joe Biden in the upcoming election.

5:39

Now, what's funny about this is that Joe Biden

5:41

really believes that he has to do this also

5:43

because he's under the weirdness and pressure. I know

5:45

who his political advisors are. Joe Biden's political advisors

5:47

are complete, afuddled morons because they're

5:49

selling him a bill of goods. Basically, he's staffed

5:51

his entire administration with Bernie Sanders acolytes who tell

5:53

him that his unpopularity is a result of him

5:56

not moving far enough to the left, which

5:58

is idiotic. He switched horses in

6:00

the middle of the stream and moved away from

6:03

his supposed moderation in 2020 toward the Bernie Sanders

6:05

left is absolutely beyond me. He

6:08

seems to think again, politically speaking, that

6:11

this will be a base election, that if you can

6:13

turn out enough Democratic voters, he will win. This will

6:15

not be a base election. The only

6:17

true base election of my lifetime

6:20

was 2012. That is the only election in

6:22

which independence went one way, but the election went the other

6:24

way, where independence tended to split for Mitt Romney. But

6:27

Barack Obama, being a unique political figure with

6:29

unique appeal to black Americans particularly, was able

6:32

to turn out his vote in numbers high

6:34

enough to win the presidency despite the fact

6:36

that he had alienated the middle. Every Democrat

6:38

since 2012 has attempted to emulate the Barack

6:40

Obama model, and every Democrat since 2012 has

6:43

failed. The only reason that

6:45

Joe Biden won in 2020 is because all

6:47

the voting rules changed because of COVID and

6:49

because Democratic ballot harvesting meant that

6:51

literally tens of millions of people who

6:53

had never voted before voted. Because

6:56

people were showing up at their doors three months in advance of

6:58

the election, picking up their ballot and dropping it off in the

7:00

nearest mailbox. That is not going to

7:02

replicate itself in 2024. But

7:04

Joe Biden's political advisors seem to be telling him he needs to skew to

7:06

the left. And so you've seen Joe

7:08

Biden, as we'll talk about a little bit later,

7:10

skew against Israel in the belief that he's going to win over

7:12

10,000 voters in Dearborn, Michigan.

7:14

And somehow it's going to win in Michigan.

7:17

He's not losing Michigan because he is pro-Israel

7:19

or supposedly pro-Israel. The

7:21

reason that Joe Biden is losing Michigan is because

7:23

he is alienating every blue-collar voter he can find

7:25

in the state of Michigan. The more

7:27

on his passing laws and

7:30

regulations that basically kill the

7:32

domestic American car industry, and

7:34

then he's wondering why he's losing Michigan, that would

7:36

be the reason, sir, that you're losing Michigan. But

7:38

his own people won't tell him that because they're

7:40

staffed by environmentalist do-gooders and radical leftists.

7:43

And the same thing is true on the American border. Joe Biden

7:45

seems to believe that if he's soft on the American border, this

7:47

is going to win over Hispanics. This

7:50

is one of the biggest myths in American politics is

7:52

that Hispanics, Latinos in America are

7:54

desperately in favor of a wide-open border. That is not

7:56

true by polling data. I don't know where they're getting

7:58

this idea. And Hispanic Americans are

8:00

like, yeah, just open up the vast

8:03

majority of Hispanic Americans came here legally,

8:05

not illegally. They're legal citizens of the

8:07

United States. And because of that, they

8:09

think the same way that pretty much all other Americans think,

8:11

which is, you know what we should do? Control our borders.

8:15

But Joe Biden seems to think that if he leaves the

8:17

border wide open, that everybody is in favor of that

8:19

if you're Hispanic and Latino. And here's the thing. He

8:21

is bleeding Hispanic and Latino support. And there are a

8:23

wide variety of reasons for why he is bleeding Hispanic

8:25

and Latino support. He is focused on

8:28

exactly the wrong minorities in terms of electoral

8:30

turnout. One of the most

8:32

amazing things about the way that we have

8:34

broken things down in terms of the intersectional

8:36

hierarchy is that because the left believes that

8:38

victimhood status is the ultimate arbiter of value,

8:40

they have politically appealed to people on the

8:42

basis of their victimhood status, which

8:45

is politically stupid. Because if

8:47

you are actually going to game out how to

8:49

create a victorious coalition, you should look at the

8:52

number of people in each supposed

8:54

subgroup. But Democrats don't do that.

8:56

They decide that they're going to focus on subgroups

8:59

based on where they stand in the intersectional hierarchy. So

9:01

for example, they'll talk about transing the kids. It doesn't

9:03

matter that a very, very

9:05

small percentage of Americans are

9:08

in favor of that. A vanishingly small percentage of Americans

9:10

are in favor of that. That is an issue

9:12

that's high on the intersectional hierarchy, so it gets a lot of attention.

9:14

And it alienates the other 98% of voters. The

9:18

Democratic Party will talk about systemic racism

9:20

keeping black Americans down. Never mind the

9:22

fact that most Americans don't actually believe

9:24

that. Don't talk

9:26

about that because they believe that that ranks high on

9:29

the intersectional values list. And never mind the

9:31

fact that black Americans are

9:33

actually not the largest minority group in the

9:35

United States. By far the largest minority group

9:37

in the United States is Hispanic Americans, and

9:40

you can't even get them right. Everybody mocked Donald Trump

9:42

when he ate from a taco bowl and he said, happy Cinco

9:44

de Mayo. And they're like, okay, well,

9:46

he's obviously mocking Hispanic. He doesn't understand the plight of

9:48

Hispanic Americans. But it is

9:50

Jill Biden who's going out there telling

9:52

people how Hispanics are like breakfast tacos,

9:54

and it's Joe Biden who's out there

9:56

saying that Hispanics must love open borders.

10:00

I mean let me tell you something. Donald

10:02

Trump eating a Taco Bowl is certainly

10:04

less offensive to Hispanic Americans than the baseline

10:06

idea that all Hispanic Americans are in favor

10:09

of vast illegal immigration. It's not true. And

10:11

not only that, it turns out that if you

10:13

want to alienate Hispanic Americans, the best way to

10:16

do that is to suggest that there's an intersectional

10:18

hierarchy in which black Americans are

10:20

put down by the evil boot of the United

10:22

States. And Hispanic Americans are somehow

10:24

exempt from that because here's the thing about

10:26

Hispanic Americans. Hispanic Americans are upwardly mobile by

10:28

numbers. Hispanic Americans by numbers

10:31

agree with the idea of the American dream. You know why?

10:33

Because they have participated in the American dream

10:36

in terms of upward economic mobility. Now so

10:38

have a lot of black Americans obviously,

10:40

but the entire media are dedicated to

10:42

the proposition that black Americans are kept down

10:44

by the evil racist American system. And

10:46

Hispanic Americans are not kept down by

10:49

the evil American system according to that

10:51

same media, which

10:53

means that either there are participants in

10:55

it or they're sort of ignored by it. And Hispanic

10:57

Americans look in America, they look at – they say, you know what?

10:59

This is a pretty great place. This is a

11:01

pretty awesome place. I came here with literally nothing. I

11:03

crossed that border with nothing, with my wife, maybe

11:05

a kid, and I started off working

11:08

a job at a restaurant for nothing. And now I own

11:10

the restaurant. And I'm

11:12

looking at the numbers right here. And

11:14

again, this bizarre vision of white upper-crust

11:17

liberals and Hispanic Americans are a bunch

11:19

of impoverished people mired in absolute

11:22

penury for their entire lives. It's

11:25

not true at all. It's simply not true. The

11:28

simple reason that Latino voters have been turning to the

11:30

right, even the left is recognizing this in terms of

11:32

the media now. The reason that's happening

11:35

is because they are upwardly mobile, economically speaking,

11:37

somewhat socially conservative, significantly more socially

11:39

conservative than the Democratic Party. Those

11:42

are the reasons. According to Keith

11:44

Humphries, this is again on MSNBC, November

11:46

2022, most Latinos voted

11:48

for Democrats in the 2022 elections. Our

11:51

Republican support among Hispanic voters has grown by 10

11:53

points since 2018, continuing a

11:55

dozen-year trend of America's largest ethnic minority

11:57

group drifting in a more politically conservative

11:59

direction. So

12:02

why exactly is this happening? Because

12:04

start with health and upward mobility. Latino's life

12:06

expectancy in the United States exceeds that of

12:08

whites by about three years. In

12:10

the five years prior to the pandemic, Hispanic

12:12

median household income grew more than twice as

12:14

much as whites and faster than black and

12:16

Asian Americans as well. Both of

12:19

these advantages are buttressed by Hispanic gains

12:21

in education. According to the National Center

12:23

on Educational Statistics, from 2010 to 2020,

12:25

the high school dropout rate of Hispanics

12:27

fell by more than half, from 15.1

12:29

percent to 7.4 percent, approaching the national

12:31

average of 5.3 percent. From

12:33

2000 to 2018, the college enrollment rate of

12:35

Hispanics aged 18 to 24 increased

12:37

by more than half, from 22 percent to

12:39

36 percent, also approaching the national average, which

12:41

is 41 percent. In

12:44

this year's entering class at the University of California,

12:46

this is 2022, the largest racial and ethnic group,

12:49

is Hispanics. Some

12:51

observers were surprised more Latinos didn't vote to restore affirmative action

12:53

in the UC system, but if you're the largest group being

12:55

admitted, you don't need affirmative action in the UC system. All

12:59

of these successes have shaped Hispanics' view of their

13:01

country. A 2021 survey by Pew

13:03

found Latinos see the United States as offering

13:05

more economic opportunity, better conditions for raising children,

13:08

and better access to healthcare services than the

13:10

countries in which they were born, or in

13:12

the case of U.S. born Hispanics, in the

13:14

countries in which their ancestors were born. So

13:17

in other words, Hispanics thinks it's a pretty

13:19

freaking great country because it is, in

13:21

fact, a pretty damned great country. And

13:23

guess who thinks that this country stinks and

13:25

needs to be fundamentally transformed? Democrats.

13:28

That does not agree with the

13:30

Hispanic population. Another

13:32

fascinating poll about Latino voters from November

13:34

7, 2022, this is a Pew Research

13:36

poll, and it breaks down Republicans by

13:38

group. They say effectively that

13:40

there are five Republican groups, and

13:42

these five Republican groups are what they call faith

13:45

and flag conservatives who have become

13:47

traditional conservatives and served on nearly every issue.

13:49

They want Christianity more prominent in public life.

13:52

Only about 16% of Hispanics who

13:55

are Republicans or lean Republican consider themselves faith

13:57

and flag conservatives. Then there are committed conservatives.

14:00

This would be very conservative on the

14:02

most issues, particularly economics, and favor

14:04

a hawkish foreign policy. Those

14:08

people, only 12% of Hispanics, consider themselves in

14:10

the committed conservative group. So that's

14:13

only 28% of Hispanics who consider themselves

14:15

faith-and-flag conservatives or committed conservatives. Then there's the

14:17

populist right. That would be highly restrictive

14:20

views about immigration, very critical of the fairness

14:22

of the economic system. This would be sort

14:24

of the J.D. Vance right. Only 14% of

14:26

Hispanic voters count themselves in that group. Then

14:30

there's the ambivalent right. Those are people

14:32

who are sort of moderate on immigration and some social

14:34

issues. They don't really feel at home in either

14:36

party, but they have conservative views about the

14:38

government and the social safety net. 21%

14:42

of Hispanics consider themselves part of this

14:44

group. And then there are these stressed side-liners. And

14:47

here's how Pew describes these people. Mixed

14:49

political views, lean slightly liberal economically, more

14:51

conservative in other domains. 27%

14:55

of Hispanics count themselves part of this group. So

14:57

in other words, the areas of the right where

14:59

Hispanics are overrepresented are among people who are ambivalent

15:01

right and stressed side-liners. So what happened here? The

15:03

Democrats actively alienated these people by moving too much

15:05

to the left. That's what happened. The

15:07

Democrats said to these people that you are a minority

15:09

that we don't care about because you're too economically mobile.

15:13

The Democrats said to this subgroup of people, you probably just

15:15

want an open border. And if we cater to an open

15:17

border, you'll probably like that. They don't want an open border.

15:21

And so Joe Biden is bleeding at minorities. Here

15:23

is CNN's Harry Ensign explaining that Joe Biden

15:25

is getting smoked among Hispanics. And

15:29

President Biden has been courting Latino voters in

15:31

the Southwest. Where does he stand? Yeah.

15:34

So, you know, you might think, you know, that

15:36

Hispanic voters might be the types of folks who

15:38

would have a backlash against Donald Trump's remarks, right?

15:41

Ain't the case. If you ask Hispanic voters,

15:43

who do they trust more on border security

15:45

and immigration? Overwhelmingly, they

15:47

trust Donald Trump more by a tremendous

15:49

margin. Look at that. 49

15:52

percent to 24 percent. And that is in line

15:54

with what we're seeing in the polls in general

15:56

among Hispanics. If

16:00

he doesn't draw Hispanic voters, he's going to lose. By the

16:03

way, his number among black voters, not very high. And

16:06

it is not just Harry Unton who's pointing this out.

16:08

It's at the New York Times as well.

16:13

The New York Times has an entire piece from

16:15

David Leonhardt talking about Joe Biden

16:17

bleeding minority support. He

16:21

says, quote, after Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, many

16:23

political scientists and pundits came forth with a simple explanation. Trump

16:27

had won, they said, because of white Americans' racial resentment.

16:29

I never found this argument to be

16:31

persuasive. Yes, race

16:34

played a meaningful role in Trump's victory, but politics

16:36

is rarely monocuasal, and there were good reasons to

16:38

believe the 2016 election was complex too. Eight

16:40

years later, the it's all racial resentment argument doesn't

16:43

look merely questionable. It looks wrong. Remember, this is

16:45

the entire basis of Joe Biden's campaign. Joe Biden's

16:47

campaign is Donald Trump is a white supremacist. If

16:49

he could have, he would have been marching with

16:52

the marchers at Charlottesville. If

16:54

Donald Trump could do it, he would be making

16:56

little Nikki Flint as his secretary of defense or some

16:58

such nonsense. That is garbage, and it's not

17:00

true. Not only is

17:02

it not true, it's a bad campaign closet. As

17:05

David Leonhardt points out, a defining feature of

17:07

American politics has been the rightward shift of

17:09

voters of color. Asian, black, Hispanic voters have

17:11

all become less likely to support Democratic candidates

17:13

and more likely to support Republicans, including Trump.

17:16

In each group, the trend is pronounced among working class

17:19

voters defined as those without a four-year college degree. Now,

17:22

I think Republicans can make a similarly foolish mistake

17:24

by thinking that the reason that these voters are moving

17:26

into the Trump camp is because big

17:28

government spending – that is not why. They're

17:30

being alienated by the left. By and large,

17:32

Americans believe that this is an awesome country

17:34

and the things that made America awesome, namely

17:36

the ability to pursue the American dream, to

17:38

build something for your family, the fact that

17:41

your parents or grandparents came here with nothing.

17:43

And now you live a pretty good life,

17:45

and your kids will live an even better

17:47

life. That is the thing that

17:49

they want, and they don't think that government is the thing that

17:51

helped their grandparents or parents do that or them do that. They

17:53

think they did it or their parents did it or their grandparents did

17:55

that. According to David Leonhardt…

18:01

He says, if anything, Democrats' weakness among voters of color

18:03

appears to have intensified since 2022. Among

18:05

white voters, President Biden has about as much support as he did

18:07

four years ago. Nate Cohen, the Times chief

18:09

political analyst, has pointed this out. But

18:12

Biden's support among black, Hispanic, and Asian voters

18:14

has plummeted. As

18:16

John Burns Murdoch, the chief data reporter at the Financial

18:18

Times World S Week, quote, I think this is simultaneously

18:20

one of the most important social trends in the United

18:23

States today, and one of the most

18:25

poorly understood. And that is

18:27

right. That is right. It is one of the most poorly understood trends.

18:29

And it's because Democrats have embraced

18:31

the precise opposite of what many minority

18:33

groups in America want. Upward

18:35

mobility, stability, family-based

18:39

conservatism, meaning leave my

18:41

family alone and let me go to my church. These

18:44

are things that most people who come to

18:46

the United States want. And those are things

18:48

that the Democrats are currently fighting against. And

18:50

that is why Joe Biden is bleeding support,

18:52

and it's true in every area of his

18:54

campaign. Every area of his campaign, he continues

18:56

to pander to the most radical members of

18:58

his group. And

19:00

I don't understand what his logic is. Just on

19:02

a political level. It's unbelievably stupid. And

19:05

then he thinks that he's going to please people

19:08

by doing performative politics. So the latest example of

19:10

performative politics from the Biden administration is that the

19:12

Biden DOJ is now suing Apple. Now,

19:15

let me just tell you something about Apple. There

19:18

are not that many people who hate Apple. Why

19:20

does this aren't? About 70%

19:22

of Americans own an iPhone. Most

19:25

Americans are pretty happy with their iPhone. You know

19:27

how you know, because they're paying more for their iPhone than they're paying

19:29

for an Android. They like the iPhone

19:31

because it is an extremely user-friendly product. They

19:33

like Apple's products. They're

19:35

computers. They're AirPods. They like the

19:38

iPads. They like all of those things

19:40

because they're incredibly effective and user-friendly. So

19:42

naturally, the Biden DOJ is now going after Apple.

19:45

What is the constituency for this? Who are the people

19:47

who are like, oh man, I'm so glad they're finally going to make

19:49

Apple less effective and break it up and make it work worse? What

19:51

I really need is for the government to step in and break

19:54

up Apple so that my iPhone doesn't work as well as it

19:56

does right now. The entire argument, by the way, between Apple and,

19:58

for example, my iPhone, is going to be a little bit more effective.

20:00

Microsoft is that Steve Jobs

20:02

wanted Apple to build closed systems. Microsoft

20:05

is an open system, meaning that Microsoft can

20:07

be uploaded on Android. It can

20:10

be used with a variety of technologies. And

20:12

this was a big ideological debate between Steve

20:14

Jobs, who wanted everything self-contained. So when you

20:16

opened the phone, everything was kind of working

20:18

within a system. And Bill

20:20

Gates, who wanted everything to be much more

20:22

open on an ideological level. And

20:25

there are good arguments on both sides. And

20:27

it's the idea that Apple presents an

20:29

actual monopolistic problem in a market where

20:32

they control maybe 60%, 65% of the

20:34

market on a statistical level that's absolutely not a monopoly.

20:37

And when it comes to the idea that

20:39

this is bad for consumers, you're going to have to

20:41

make the case that it's really, really bad for consumers

20:43

when consumers continue to consume the product at extraordinarily high

20:45

rates and be happy with the product. What

20:48

the reality is, is an attempt to

20:50

gain headlines with the upper-crust white liberals

20:52

who really hate Apple or something. I

20:54

just don't know who's the constituency for

20:56

this. It's bad

20:58

as a matter of antitrust law, but how many people actually care

21:01

about antitrust law? Does he think that

21:03

blue-collar workers like, man, I'm so glad they're going to break up

21:05

Apple now? Blue-collar workers aren't going to vote for Joe

21:07

Biden because his DOJ is going out for Apple.

21:10

Here's Merrick Garland slamming Apple yesterday for some of the

21:12

dumbest possible reasons. And

21:15

as any iPhone user who has ever seen

21:17

a green text message or

21:19

received a tiny, grainy video can

21:21

attest, Apple's anti-competitive

21:23

conduct also includes making it

21:26

more difficult for iPhone

21:28

users to message with users of

21:31

non-Apple products. It

21:33

does this by diminishing the functionality of

21:35

its own messaging app and

21:37

by diminishing the functionality of third-party

21:40

messaging apps. By doing

21:42

so, Apple knowingly and

21:45

deliberately degrades quality, privacy,

21:47

and security for its users. For

21:50

example, if an iPhone

21:53

user messages a non-iPhone user in

21:55

Apple messages, the text

21:57

appears not only as a green bubble, but

21:59

in court. incorporates limited functionality. The

22:02

conversation is not encrypted, videos

22:05

are pixelated and grainy, and

22:07

users cannot edit messages or see

22:10

typing indicators. As

22:12

a result, iPhone users perceive

22:14

rival smartphones as being lower quality

22:16

because the experience of messaging friends

22:19

and family who do

22:21

not own iPhones is worse. Wait,

22:25

so you mean that Apple doesn't wanna subsidize Android?

22:27

That's what he's saying right there. He's saying

22:30

Apple doesn't wanna do cryptography for messages with

22:32

Android. And if Android wants to upgrade its

22:34

own abilities, then it should upgrade its own abilities. Is

22:36

that a monopoly problem? Yeah,

22:39

like who is the crowd for this? This is

22:41

like the big headline across. So what happened? Apple stock

22:43

gets hit. You know how much Apple stock is being

22:45

held by 401ks right now? By teacher pension funds?

22:47

A lot, the answer is a lot. But

22:50

these are the kind of, Joe Biden is appealing

22:52

to this very small cadre of people who are

22:54

so in their own heads, and

22:56

frankly up their own colons, that they don't even

22:58

know what the American people want anymore. It's truly

23:01

an amazing thing. Apparently, Biden

23:03

thinks that he's gonna be able to escape

23:05

the impact of his terrible presidency with

23:07

cash. So Joe Biden right now has

23:09

a monster cash advantage over Donald Trump in terms

23:11

of the presidential race. According

23:13

to Axios, his presidential campaign committee has

23:15

$71 million on hand compared to Trump's

23:18

$33.5 million. The

23:20

DNC has $27 million on hand compared to

23:22

the RNC's $11 million. And

23:24

so that massive funding advantage, he thinks is going

23:27

to translate to victory. So I have a theory. I

23:29

have a theory. The theory is that money is

23:31

not going to matter all that much in this election. The reason

23:34

I say that is because money is no

23:36

longer a proxy for victory in elections. Money

23:39

can help you marginally, but it's not as though

23:41

there's no name recognition for Donald Trump. If

23:43

this were, for example, Joe Biden dumping hundreds

23:46

of millions of dollars on say Nikki Haley

23:48

or Rhonda Santas, then you could say that the

23:50

money might have an effect. But everyone knows that they

23:52

think of Trump already, and everybody knows that they think of Biden

23:54

already. The people in the middle are just gonna have

23:56

to make a call, which is was I better off in 2019? I'm

23:59

skipping 2020. Because it's nobody's

24:01

fault what happens during a pandemic. It

24:04

is your fault if you continue to blow out the money after the pandemic in

24:06

2021. But in any case, were

24:08

you better off in 2019 or are you better off in 2024? Meanwhile,

24:12

Joe Biden, like this snide kind

24:14

of insanity where the stupidest

24:17

legal case I've ever seen. Like there are a bunch of legal

24:19

cases against Donald Trump. And I have been

24:21

honest with you about which ones are stronger and which ones are weaker. By

24:24

far the strongest case against Donald Trump is the

24:26

classified documents case from Mar-a-Lago in Florida. That

24:28

is the strongest case against Donald Trump. Now, is that a politically

24:31

motivated case? Of course it's a

24:33

politically motivated case. Joe Biden was

24:35

keeping classified documents in his car,

24:37

everywhere else for dozens of

24:39

years. With that said, the

24:42

case against Trump legally speaking is strongest there. But

24:45

the single weakest case against Donald Trump is the

24:47

civil fraud case brought by Letitia James against Donald

24:49

Trump in the state of New York. Where they

24:51

are currently holding him up at gunpoint for almost

24:53

$500 million. And the

24:55

goal of this is to bankrupt Trump. And apparently to

24:58

allow Joe Biden to talk about bankrupting Trump. Well,

25:01

it looks to me as though you

25:03

have an administration and its allies that

25:05

are targeting the political opponent of that

25:07

administration. And trying to personally bankrupt him

25:09

by charging him hundreds of millions of

25:11

dollars in order to convict

25:13

him civilly of something he couldn't do criminally. They

25:16

couldn't charge him the criminal fraud because they couldn't

25:18

meet the burden. So they went to civil fraud,

25:20

which is a preponderance of the evidence standard.

25:22

And then they fined him

25:25

half a billion dollars based on

25:27

loans that he took that he

25:29

repaid, which is totally crazy. But

25:32

you still have Joe Biden who's joking about Trump being

25:34

in debt because of this. Does this look like a

25:36

winning strategy to you? Because when Donald

25:38

Trump says they are trying to stop me by using

25:40

every means that they will throw the catch and sink at

25:42

me, he's not wrong. He happens to be right. And the

25:44

more Joe Biden says stuff like this, the more sympathetic Trump

25:46

becomes. And it's not just Joe Biden. It's all of his

25:48

allies. You have Jimmy Kimmel joking about

25:50

Donald Trump's wealth. Here is Jimmy

25:52

Kimmel making fun of Donald Trump. Now, again,

25:56

they are fining him half a billion dollars for

25:58

not really doing anything. to damage

26:00

anyone. But Jimmy Kimmel

26:03

is gonna mock Trump now about that. The

26:05

green light supremacist has until money to come up

26:07

with a 464 million dollar

26:12

bond or the state may seize and

26:14

sell his property. Trump said nobody has

26:16

ever heard of anything like this before.

26:18

Trump needs cash and we've never heard

26:20

of most of the crazy stuff you

26:23

do before but I mean nobody ever

26:25

heard of the president changing the weather

26:27

with a sharpie before either. Something tells

26:29

me over the weekend Trump's gonna start

26:32

talking about how strong Vladimir Putin is

26:34

and suddenly a dump truck full of rubles

26:36

will pull up and cover this for him. But the

26:39

real loser here is Melania. She may

26:41

end up with half of the nothing

26:43

he owns now. Hope she got advanced

26:45

on that prenup because if you think

26:47

she hates him now wait until he's

26:49

poor. I'm

26:52

sorry, this is such a obnoxious garbage. So

26:54

first of all the notion that Russia paid

26:56

off Trump is so stupid and discredited but

26:58

they're still trafficking in this. Remember Donald Trump

27:01

is fake news and untrustworthy but they will

27:03

still have Jimmy Kimmel years later suggesting that

27:05

Vladimir Putin paid off Donald Trump for

27:07

some unspecified reason. Meanwhile

27:10

even CNN is admitting that a

27:12

huge percentage of the Letitia James case is

27:14

just bull crap. So for example

27:17

Trump had suggested a value on Mar-a-Lago

27:19

and and Letitia James suggested that that

27:21

value was inflated. What

27:23

did she suggest the value of Mar-a-Lago was? She

27:26

suggested the value of Mar-a-Lago was like 18 million dollars.

27:29

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. That's

27:32

unbelievably stupid. Have you ever been to Mar-a-Lago?

27:34

It's a giant hotel complex. It is not

27:36

worth 18 million dollars. That's absurd.

27:39

18 million dollars

27:41

in like a nice neighborhood of Florida, a nice like

27:43

a really nice neighborhood of Florida, 18 million

27:45

dollars will buy you maybe five houses. Not

27:48

a giant ass complex like

27:50

Mar-a-Lago. Here's CNN admitting as much. to

28:00

Mar-a-Lago potentially, that could

28:02

be something that could be sold quickly. I

28:05

think the valuation is something in the hundreds

28:07

of millions, and I think there could be

28:09

a buyer for something like that. All

28:12

right, now that's $240 million estimated. I

28:14

mean, who knows? He's a desperate seller.

28:16

In this case, someone picks up a phone and makes that call

28:18

this week. Okay, so again,

28:20

it's just an absurdity. The

28:22

entire case is an absurdity, but Democrats are jumping on

28:24

it, and they're reveling in it. So here's

28:26

the thing. When you revel in the political targeting of

28:28

your opponent, maybe it feels good, but

28:31

it actually is not going to redound to

28:33

your political benefit. It's not going to work

28:35

well for you. All right, coming up, we'll

28:37

get to the Republicans in the House who

28:39

are trying to cram through another giant $1.2

28:41

trillion spending bill that contains just a grab

28:43

bag of junk first. Spring Break

28:46

29:18

meanwhile, now speaking of the

29:20

Biden administration being completely disconnected from the

29:23

American people, again, when you're

29:25

talking about upward mobility and the disconnection

29:27

that the Biden administration has from regular

29:29

Americans, it's not just, you know, kind

29:31

of on an imagistic level making fun of Trump

29:33

and all that kind of stuff. They really do

29:35

hate capitalism, a lot of the Democrats. This is

29:38

why when Joe Biden always says, I don't hate

29:40

capitalism. Make money again. Just pay your affairs. And

29:43

then he falls over. When that happens, nobody

29:45

believes him. And the reason no one believes him is because

29:47

the left flank of his party does not actually like capitalism.

29:51

And again, going back to the idea that

29:53

Hispanic Americans, particularly, like upward mobility, and most

29:55

Americans actually are a huge fan of upward

29:57

mobility. Okay, this is why

29:59

whenever anyone says that, America is built on the middle

30:01

class. No, America is built on the people who at

30:03

some point in their lives are middle class and then

30:05

spend the rest of their life trying to get out

30:07

of the middle class and up to the upper middle

30:09

class or the upper class. There

30:12

is no such thing in the United States as a permanent middle class.

30:14

That is not a thing. The people who constitute the middle

30:16

class, very often that is a transitory

30:18

state. I was middle class for a

30:20

large portion of my life, and then I wasn't

30:22

middle class anymore. And that's what everyone is trying to

30:25

do. This is why even when Republicans talk about there's

30:27

the lower class and the middle class and the upper

30:29

class, that is not a class. When

30:32

people talk about American classes, the same way they

30:34

talk about the British class system from the 18th

30:36

century, not the same thing. There are no lords

30:38

or lizards here. That is not a thing. Many

30:40

of the people who are the richest people you

30:42

know started off as very, very not rich people,

30:45

including, for example, Elon Musk, who started off dirt poor in the

30:47

United States. No, he was not the scion

30:49

of an emerald mine. Read his biography or talk to

30:51

him. But the

30:53

Democrats seem to believe this sort of crap, and

30:56

that's not a particularly nice vision of the American dream that

30:58

they are selling. So for example, yesterday,

31:01

the squad held a press conference

31:03

talking about how the government should

31:05

spend more money on housing. How

31:07

they – you know, we have a housing affordability

31:10

crisis, which means presumably that the government should step

31:12

in to make everything more affordable. Because if there's

31:14

one thing that we know about the government, it's

31:16

that it makes things more affordable. Oh wait, that's

31:18

precisely the opposite of every single good or service

31:20

the government has ever gotten involved in. Every

31:22

single good or service that the government has

31:24

ever gotten seriously involved in, in terms of

31:26

subsidization, for example, has gotten wildly more expensive

31:29

over the years, whether you're talking about education

31:31

or healthcare. But here's Jamal Bowman,

31:34

a man so stupid he can't tell the difference

31:36

between a fire alarm and a door opening device,

31:39

suggesting that if you pay more than 20% of your salary in

31:41

rent, that you are

31:43

a member of the plantation capitalism class.

32:00

Why we have this on

32:02

the house prices all over

32:04

this country. It is. Plain.

32:06

Say soon capitalism to

32:09

have someone paying forty

32:11

fifty sixty percent of

32:14

their salary. Swords read

32:16

that his Playstation capitalists.

32:19

Word. Should be taxed at

32:21

twenty percent of someone's South

32:24

Wales. And.

32:27

As he standing there like the don't see is

32:29

to smile in the I was happy to twenty

32:31

percent okay young and how. How.

32:34

You. Have to put. Rental caps on amount

32:36

of money people can charge which means no one

32:39

will build a building ever again. Or.

32:42

You're. Going to have to inflate the currency which will

32:44

temporarily increase the amount of hate these have you read

32:46

and then rebel increase. That's

32:48

pretty much all that. When. You say they

32:50

are going to build affordable housing from the government

32:52

for example. Those her into the housing

32:55

projects that are complete crap and garbage that end up

32:57

having to be torn down. His.

33:00

His were is ridiculous. But.

33:02

Else he says, we need a green new deal for

33:04

public housing. A Green new deal. Yeah, that's what we

33:06

need. read another. The.

33:09

Use of the term new Deal to mean anything the

33:11

you. Think. That it should mean despite the

33:13

fact the new deals on the least effective programs in

33:15

American history. And. Probably links in

33:17

the great depression by southerly eight years. A Quincy's Cla

33:19

gonna miss. Here's a here's a O Sea promoting his

33:21

her green new deal with so successful she now ready

33:23

to in a for affordable housing to deal. With

33:29

replenish the multi billion for public

33:31

housing repair repair, it would repeal

33:33

the Santa Claus Amendment. It wouldn't

33:36

That's up to two hundred and

33:38

thirty four billion dollars over ten

33:40

years to preserve, upgrade, and expand

33:42

our public housing. Thought it would

33:44

bring public housing down to zero

33:47

carbon emissions. Move

33:50

our job in America.

33:53

It was a government. that's why I

33:56

had my son happening either. Privatization. of

33:58

our public housing Just

34:02

absurd people, absurd people. The pathway to

34:04

the American dream is not the government building you affordable housing.

34:06

It is not. You know, it had affordable housing

34:08

built by the government, the Soviets. It didn't work out amazing. It's

34:11

always funny to me when people are like, why

34:13

can't we have architecture like the Russians do? Walk

34:16

outside of central Moscow and you will see why.

34:18

Brutalism is like the dominant

34:20

theme in architecture in Russia for a reason.

34:23

Meanwhile, the Republicans are now infighting over

34:25

the latest giant budget buster that they're

34:27

going to pass, presumably. As

34:30

I said, when Kevin McCarthy was ousted as Speaker

34:32

of the House, the problem is not the leadership

34:35

of the House Republican Caucus. The problem is you

34:37

have a tiny, tiny majority in the Democratic Senate

34:39

and the Democratic President. And it didn't switch any

34:41

of the incentive structures to simply swap out McCarthy

34:44

for Mike Johnson. I like Mike Johnson. I think

34:46

Mike Johnson is a great guy. I don't understand

34:48

why everyone thought this was going to magically solve

34:50

the problem. As Thomas Sowell has said repeatedly, as

34:53

he says in his book, Knowledge and Decisions. It's

34:55

the incentive structures that make the decision happen. It's

34:57

not switching out the individuals in the vast majority

34:59

of circumstances. Well, currently, according to Politico,

35:01

Speaker Johnson is plowing forward with his plan to

35:03

fund the government at a cost. House conservatives have

35:06

renewed their threats that any action against the Louisiana

35:08

Republican are now on the table. Incensed over the

35:10

latest spending deal that Johnson reached with Democrats and

35:12

how quickly he's pushing the legislation to the floor.

35:14

And this is what happens. When you can't come

35:16

to consensus within your own caucus, you end up

35:18

at 2.30 in the morning dropping 1,200 pounds. He's

35:21

got a ferocious caucus with a tiny majority, and

35:23

he understands that a government shutdown is going to

35:26

be very bad for, for example, Donald Trump's re-elect

35:28

prospects, which is why Trump has really not said

35:30

very much about this minibus as they're calling it Bill. In

35:33

the past, Representative Ralph Norman, according

35:35

to Politico, had broadly defended Johnson

35:37

and dismissed talk of taking direct action against him, such

35:39

as calling a vote to remove him from the speakership.

35:42

After leadership released legislative text for the massive spending bill

35:44

in the middle of the night, Norman fired a direct

35:46

warning shot. I said, well,

35:48

just see. I like Mike as a person. He's honest. I

35:50

just don't know if it's in his DNA to fight. This

35:52

is just sad. So the

35:54

reality is that, again, it's a bad bill, and

35:57

all these bills are going to remain bad until Republicans actually

35:59

have control over it. of the Senate and the

36:01

presidency. And then maybe the bills

36:03

will get slightly better if passed is any indicator.

36:06

Because when Trump was president and Republicans

36:08

controlled the Senate and the House, they also

36:10

passed giant spending bills. So

36:12

what exactly is in this bill? Well, an enormous amount of pork,

36:15

a huge amount of pork. So

36:17

Chip Roy, who's the most consistently conservative person in

36:19

terms of spending in the House of Representatives, he

36:22

was ripping on the bill. He basically said any

36:24

Republican who votes for this should be ashamed. If

36:27

you care about the border, you're getting nothing here.

36:29

It is completely false to say that we're getting

36:31

anything here that will help. And in fact, what

36:34

we're going to get is more money to process

36:36

more people, which means you're going to get more

36:38

people at the border. Nothing is

36:40

going to stop the flow of the border in

36:42

this bill. So we're funding open borders. We're funding

36:45

the mass releases of people in violation of the

36:47

law using parole, the same laws that were violated

36:49

to release the individual who came in and killed

36:51

Lake and Riley. I can't do

36:53

that. No Republican should. Any Republican

36:55

who votes for this bill should be ashamed of themselves.

36:59

Okay, well, he is not wrong that in a

37:01

vacuum that is true. Now,

37:03

Republicans are not getting much out of this bill. This is the

37:05

biggest problem is that let's be real about this. Of

37:08

the $1.2 trillion that will be spent to fund

37:10

the government, the vast, vast, vast majority is not

37:12

on all the inner-mark projects you're going to hear

37:14

about. And many of those inner-mark projects are indeed

37:16

garbage. You're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars

37:18

to groups that push trans propaganda. Or you're talking

37:20

about millions of dollars, literally millions of dollars to

37:23

groups that facilitate illegal immigration at the southern border.

37:25

All of that is crap, and it should be

37:27

stripped out. And Republicans should make it an issue

37:29

to strip that stuff out politically speaking. They

37:32

should. They should say, we're not going to pass this with this provision in

37:34

it. We're just stripping it out. But the

37:37

real debt drivers are not this. The real

37:39

debt drivers are all the massive income transfers

37:41

that amount to Social Security, Medicare, welfare programs.

37:43

All of that stuff is the stuff that

37:46

is currently driving the amount of spending in

37:48

these bills. And until there's a fundamental restructuring

37:50

of how spending is done in the United

37:52

States, everything is going to be cutting around

37:55

the margins. And this is why Mike Johnson

37:57

is saying that defunding the government is not going to fix

37:59

the budget. It's not as though the spending

38:01

is going to go to a level that is actually appropriate.

38:03

Now, what that means is that if Republicans promise that when they

38:05

get into office, they're going to bring this under control, they

38:07

actually have to do it. And you can talk

38:09

about the power of a person all you want. But when you have

38:12

a five-seat majority in the House of Representatives and

38:14

a very high possibility that you lose the House of Representatives

38:16

and Democrats then get to spend as much as they want,

38:19

is that what you want in a contentious election year?

38:22

That is the big question. Well, meanwhile,

38:24

the Biden administration in a very bizarre attempt

38:26

to, again, gain back these radical voters,

38:28

they're just not enough of these voters to

38:31

make the difference up between loss and

38:33

victory in states like Michigan. Brand new

38:35

poll from CNN shows Donald Trump up in

38:37

Michigan by 8.8. That

38:40

is not because of Arab voters in Michigan. That is

38:42

because blue-collar workers in Michigan hate Joe Biden and think

38:44

he's a bad president. That's the reason. But

38:47

Joe Biden thinks that he is going to appeal to

38:49

Michiganders who presumably hate the state of

38:52

Israel. Maybe some people

38:54

like the devotees

38:56

of this Michigan imam who

38:58

suggested in a recent speech that Muslims will slaughter

39:00

Jews like sheep. This is not in the Gaza

39:02

Strip. This is in Michigan. We

39:23

work hard. We also have a fundamental. They

39:28

call us, hey, Muslim camp. There is a

39:30

company in Cairo here, we have camp. By

39:34

the way, this sentiment, unfortunately, is not

39:36

supremely uncommon even in the United States.

39:38

Brand new poll up from Pew Research

39:41

Center asking about whether Israel

39:43

and Hamas have valid reasons for fighting. 49%

39:46

of American Muslims, a broad

39:48

plurality, believe that Hamas's reasons for fighting

39:51

Israel are valid. That's

39:54

insane. Only 18% believe

39:56

that Israel's reasons for fighting Hamas are valid. Again.

40:00

If that's the population that you want to appeal to and

40:02

you think that's going to win you Michigan, good luck to

40:04

you. You're toast at that point, honestly. Like if Joe Biden

40:06

thinks that somehow creating daylight between the

40:08

United States and Israel is going to win him

40:11

Michigan, good luck.

40:13

It's a really, really dumb strategy. But

40:15

this is now the new kind of

40:17

phraseology of the Biden administration, apparently. Sherrod

40:19

Brown, who's running for re-election in Ohio,

40:22

he's pushing moral equivalence between

40:24

Israel and Hamas. He's caught on Mike doing

40:26

this. I

40:28

would be remiss. A lot of conversation on

40:31

TikTok is talking about Palestine and Gaza. So

40:34

I know you guys have to go. But

40:36

do you support a ceasefire in Gaza? I

40:39

think that what you were doing was

40:42

like Biden's money. I'm going

40:44

to answer that question for weeks. No. Only

40:46

because I have to trust it. Either

40:48

Hamas or frankly Netanyahu would

40:51

live up to that ceasefire. It's got to lead

40:53

to a situation where we need to be a

40:55

little bit too many cities.

40:58

We'll have to know when the model will be a little bit too

41:00

many cities. But that's under

41:02

source. I mean that's the way under under. Go

41:05

ahead and problem. Yes,

41:24

that's the entire problem. If they

41:27

would consent to Israel becoming a state, then there

41:29

wouldn't be no war. It would all be over

41:31

over there. But here he is basically taking the

41:33

totally Israel doesn't deserve to exist position because the

41:36

Palestinians never consented to Israel becoming a state. By

41:38

the way, the opposition to a Palestinian state is

41:41

not just by Israel in the moment. Israel has

41:43

tried to make attempts since Oslo to establish a

41:45

Palestinian state. They have no peace partner. Jordan

41:48

does not want a Palestinian state under the PA. Egypt

41:50

does not want a Palestinian state under Hamas. How do

41:52

we know? Because Egypt

41:54

controlled the Gaza Strip. 1948-67, zero Palestinian states

41:56

founded during that time. Same thing in the

41:58

last few years. In the West Bank,

42:00

Jordan controlled it from 48, 60 Palestinian

42:03

states. In fact, the

42:05

time that they tried to establish a Palestinian state in Jordan, which

42:07

is 70% Palestinian, the

42:09

Hashemite dynasty killed

42:12

thousands of Palestinians and expelled tens of thousands

42:14

of Palestinians in any case. Here's

42:16

Representative Al Green being the doofus hit that he is. This

42:20

letter goes to the president because I wanted

42:22

to just remind him of something that I'm

42:24

sure he's acutely aware of. And

42:26

that is that on 14th of May, 1948, Israel declared itself

42:28

a state. And

42:34

President Truman, who was the president of the United States

42:36

at that time, was the

42:38

first major world power country to

42:40

recognize Israel as such. And

42:42

that has created an imbalance. I'm

42:45

hoping that we will understand that

42:47

at that time the Palestinians did

42:50

not consent to Israel becoming a state. In

42:53

fact, they were vehemently opposed. I

42:55

don't think that now we need

42:57

to have Israel's consent to have Palestine

43:00

become a state. I think that Palestine

43:02

declared itself a state. I think if

43:04

we would recognize it, I think that

43:06

would help us to move this process

43:08

along. OK, it

43:10

will do precisely the opposite because when you reward

43:12

terrorism, especially from people who don't want the entire

43:15

state of Israel to exist, giving them a state

43:17

then uses that as a launch. Israel literally tried

43:19

this strategy with Gaza. They tried it. And

43:21

you know what happened? October 7th. The Biden

43:23

administration seems to believe that if they push to the

43:25

left, if they push to the anti-Israel left, they're going

43:28

to win Michigan. It ain't going

43:30

to happen. You ain't making up an eight-point

43:32

deficit with a few thousand voters in Dearborn, Michigan.

43:34

It's just not going to happen. Already coming

43:36

up, we'll get into the latest controversy engulfing Nickelodeon,

43:39

which for years basically looked the other

43:41

way at some pretty dicey behavior with

43:43
