Transcripts

00:00

so it's Trump versus Biden now we've

00:02

known that for legitimately months if

00:04

not years at this point but with Nikki

00:06

Haley dropping out of the race this week

00:08

the race is now finalized it is Trump it

00:11

is Biden part two electric Baloo are you

00:14

ready for the sequel oh man ah the

00:17

Revenge campaign Donald Trump the first

00:20

Republican candidate since Richard Nixon

00:22

to actually be nominated three separate

00:24

times and of course the first

00:27

presidential candidate to think about

00:30

two non-consecutive terms since Grover

00:32

Cleveland running against the oldest

00:35

president in American history Joe Biden

00:38

so if you're excited let me recommend

00:40

that it is currently March and there's

00:42

eight more months of this we haven't

00:43

even gotten started yet and of course

00:46

this campaign has been going on for

00:47

quite a while while Joe Biden is now

00:49

trotting out a memo it's been put out by

00:51

his campaign chair Jen om Al Dylan and

00:53

campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez

00:56

and it was issued in full to Media

01:00

outlets and here is what this memo says

01:02

this is a memo that's laying out the

01:04

Biden strategy against Donald Trump

01:07

subject Trump enters the general

01:08

election beleaguered and ill equipped

01:11

the results of last night's super

01:12

Tuesday contest cemented what we have

01:13

known for some time now Donald Trump

01:15

limps into the general election as a

01:16

wounded dangerous and unpopular

01:19

candidate the Republican nominee is Cash

01:20

strapped beleaguered by a host of

01:22

external issues and is running on an

01:23

extreme agenda that is already proving

01:25

to be a significant liability for key

01:26

voting blocks that are critical to the

01:28

pathway to 270 electoral votes that's

01:31

some wishful thinking right there given

01:33

the fact that Donald Trump is in

01:34

commanding Pole Position he did not lead

01:36

at pretty much any point in the 20120

01:38

race in fact in the last few months of

01:40

polling Donald Trump LED in precisely

01:43

two polls in the Real Clear Politics

01:45

polling average I mean like not in the

01:48

average two polls included in that

01:50

average over the course of the last

01:51

several months of that election cycle

01:53

and then he outperformed the real C

01:55

politics polling average by about three

01:57

percentage points he tends to outperform

01:59

his polls in general elections because

02:00

there are so many people who end up

02:02

voting Trump who don't want to tell

02:02

pollsters they're actually going to vote

02:04

for Trump right now Donald Trump has led

02:07

this race in the real politics polling

02:08

average since midep Joe Biden has led in

02:13

the last 30 polls a grand total of four

02:16

he is tied into others okay that means

02:19

for those counting that in 24 of the

02:21

last 30 polls Donald Trump is in the

02:23

lead so when they say that he has

02:25

significant liabilities I mean Donald

02:26

Trump does have significant liabilities

02:28

but he does have one particular asset

02:30

and that is that Joe Biden is the other

02:31

candidate the memo says team Biden

02:33

Harris heads into the general election

02:34

coming off consistent wins up and down

02:36

the ballot maintains a historic and

02:37

growing Grassroots powered War chest and

02:40

now adds a strong super Tuesday showing

02:41

last night to enter the general election

02:43

well prepared and well positioned to win

02:45

this November now notice how much

02:46

they're relying on the amount of cash

02:47

they have stacked up in the back room

02:49

over there let me make something very

02:51

very clear the amount of cash you have

02:53

in a presidential election cycle is no

02:55

longer determinative of Victory

02:57

Democrats have routinely outspent

02:58

Republicans Donald Trump was out spent

03:00

by Hillary Clinton widely in 2016 it did

03:02

not matter what are you going to do

03:04

change people's opinion of Donald Trump

03:05

at this point everyone knows what they

03:07

think of Donald Trump at this point

03:08

ain't no late breaking voters in this

03:10

election cycle Donald Trump has been the

03:12

center of the American political

03:14

Universe since 2015 the year is now 2024

03:18

so for fully a decade the entire

03:19

political Universe has revolved around

03:21

Donald Trump Joe Biden has been a known

03:23

quantity since the

03:25

1970s Joe Biden was in the Senate before

03:28

I was born there is no one in this race

03:30

who's sitting around going man I just

03:32

can't I can't who are these guys I need

03:34

some introductory ads probably if they

03:36

drop a billion dollars introducing me to

03:38

Joe Biden maybe then I'll think like

03:40

everyone knows what they think of these

03:42

candidates but the Biden delusional memo

03:44

continues building off last night's

03:46

momentum tomorrow evening State of the

03:48

Union Address will provide the American

03:49

people with the latest example of the

03:51

Stark choice they will be confronted

03:52

with in November between President Biden

03:54

who remains laser focused on delivering

03:56

for the American people while running on

03:57

a historically popular record of

03:59

accomplishment I have some questions and

04:01

Donald Trump whose failed record and

04:02

dark vision for this country is as

04:04

dangerous as it is unpopular with the

04:05

voters who will decide this election

04:07

okay so um first of all you can tell

04:08

this isn't an internal memo and that it

04:09

is directed solely at outside

04:10

consumption because it's just filled

04:12

with crap when they say that Joe Biden

04:14

is laser focused only in the sense that

04:17

a cat is focused laser likee on you know

04:20

like an actual pinpoint of laser on the

04:22

wall Joe Biden is not laser focused on

04:25

anything except his oatmeal and that

04:27

only between the time that his oatmeal

04:29

reached is the bowl and the time that

04:31

his spoon hits the oatmeal between there

04:32

and his mouth things go totally Haywire

04:35

we'll get some more on this in just one

04:36

05:46

Shapiro meanwhile when they say that Joe

05:48

Biden is running on a historically

05:50

popular record of accomplishment I would

05:51

love to see some polling that bears that

05:53

out National polling 8 months out

05:55

confirms what we know to be true this

05:56

will be a very close general election

05:58

contest like all modern presidential

05:59

elections are but we have a clear path

06:00

to Victory say the members of Biden's

06:02

campaign Beyond Donald Trump's

06:04

demonstrated inability to expand his

06:05

appeal beyond the Maga base that is not

06:07

true actually which this memo covers in

06:09

detail below upwards of 10% of Voters

06:11

remain undecided much larger than the

06:12

current margin between Trump and Biden

06:14

in polling so they're now counting on

06:16

everybody whose counting is undecided to

06:17

vote in favor of Joe Biden good luck

06:19

with that I think that that is very

06:22

large scale wishful thinking that's a

06:24

bunch of people who don't want to say

06:25

they're voting for Trump I would bet

06:26

that Independents in this election cycle

06:27

if the election were held today would

06:28

vote for Trump they would break for

06:30

Trump those voters are highly supportive

06:32

of the policies of the Biden Harris

06:34

Administration like protecting abortion

06:35

access lowering the cost of prescription

06:37

drugs and defending the Affordable Care

06:38

Act yeah because there are so many

06:40

people right now I've talked to and

06:42

you've talked to so many voters who are

06:43

deeply worried about Obamacare at this

06:46

point these undecided voters are also

06:47

the least tuned in to politics of any

06:49

group heading into Super Tuesday 31% of

06:51

all voters said they are not even

06:52

certain Trump will be the Republican

06:53

nominee so they are counting on the

06:55

ignorant voters to carry them through

06:57

well again I don't think that's going to

07:00

work so they say here are the key

07:01

questions that everyone should be asking

07:03

quote which candidate is consolidating

07:05

their Coalition the answer there is

07:07

actually Donald Trump not Joe Biden Joe

07:08

Biden's got real coalitional problems

07:10

moderates and his Coalition do not like

07:11

the radicals the radicals do not like

07:12

the moderates which candidate is

07:14

amassing the resources in building the

07:16

infrastructure necessary to run a modern

07:18

campaign that reaches the voters who

07:19

will decide this election this is where

07:20

Democrats really do have an advantage

07:22

the RNC has done a piss poort job of

07:24

trying to arrange resource allocation

07:26

raising money and spending it in order

07:28

to actually get people

07:30

out to vote on the day of the election

07:32

going and picking up ballots in places

07:33

where ballot harvesting is legal

07:34

Democrats do have an advantage there and

07:36

Republicans do need to pour money into

07:38

that not into Trump's legal issues they

07:39

need to be pouring money into all of the

07:41

get out the vote efforts that Democrats

07:43

are pouring money into most importantly

07:46

which candidate has a winning agenda and

07:47

a winning track record at The Ballot Box

07:49

for each and every one of these

07:50

questions they say the answer is the

07:52

same Joe Biden Joe Biden is the only

07:54

candidate in history who has beaten

07:55

Donald Trump and he will do so again

07:57

well I mean pretty small sample size I

07:59

mean like he ran once and he won once I

08:03

wouldn't call that quite

08:04

dispositive and then they say that Joe

08:06

Biden is consolidating his Coalition

08:09

because he has strong support in diverse

08:10

states with black latino white working

08:12

class and Suburban

08:14

voters he's under pulling with all of

08:16

them and then they look at the actual

08:18

primary States and say that he's doing

08:19

like an amazing job in he's running

08:23

unopposed Donald Trump's primary

08:24

performances says the Biden campaign are

08:26

a major warning sign for the GOP and an

08:28

opportunity for president Biden to

08:29

expand his Coalition Trump heads into

08:31

the general election unable to expand

08:32

his support beyond the hardcore Maga

08:34

base and they just are citing Nikki

08:35

Haley well the problem is a huge

08:37

percentage of Nicki Haley voters were

08:38

Democrats who crossed over to vote in

08:40

open

08:40

primaries so again this is a lot of

08:43

wishful thinking on the part of Team

08:46

Biden they say that as voters tune into

08:48

the election Biden can expand his

08:49

Coalition and consolidate his support

08:51

today's media consumption is more

08:52

fragmented and personalized than ever

08:54

for most Americans the November election

08:55

has not yet become a daily Topic at the

08:57

kitchen table uh I don't think that

09:00

that's true either because again the

09:02

candidates are all known quantities we

09:04

know all of them and everybody who is

09:07

not in the Biden campaign knows that

09:08

Steve coraki the pollster extraordinaire

09:11

his poll analysis on MSNBC is actually

09:13

quite good his job Steve coraki he

09:14

points out that actually if you're

09:16

talking about who is coalescing the base

09:18

it is not Joe Biden it is Donald

09:20

Trump in the context of what we're

09:22

seeing in the general election the one

09:24

who has the issue right now with the

09:26

base is more Biden than Trump cuz this

09:28

is from the New York times poll they

09:30

asked folks hey you voted for Trump in

09:32

2020 are you still with Donald Trump 97%

09:36

of his 2020 voters say they're still

09:38

with him ask Biden's 2020 voters are you

09:41

still with Biden the number is 85% there

09:44

so at least right now in the general

09:46

election polling it's Trump who's taking

09:48

more from Biden's voters than Biden

09:50

who's taking from Trump's voters not

09:52

just that in the primaries people who

09:54

are voting for Trump say they are

09:55

excited not just to vote against Biden

09:57

they are excited to vote for Trump Joe

09:59

Biden's voters no one is excited to vote

10:00

for Joe Biden they're only excited to

10:02

vote against Donald Trump that's kind of

10:03

a problem for him speaking of coalescing

10:05

of the base even people who are

10:07

considered anti-trump Republicans people

10:08

like Mitch McConnell the outgoing Senate

10:11

minority leader Mitch McConnell endorsed

10:13

Trump

10:14

today Mr

10:16

leader how do you reconcile your Trump

10:19

endorsement with the fact that you

10:20

called him practically and morally

10:22

responsible for January 6 and the fact

10:24

that he insulted you and your wife for

10:28

pet February the 25th

10:32

2021 shortly after the attack on the

10:35

capital I was asked a similar question

10:38

and I said I would support the nominee

10:41

for

10:42

president even if it were the former

10:45

president leader McConnell in April of

10:48

last year you indicated didn't really

10:51

directly answer the question as to

10:53

whether or not you were comfortable with

10:55

Mr Trump if he was in the middle of

10:57

criminal trials and indictments he was

10:59

the nominee I presume that means you're

11:01

comfortable with it I I don't have

11:03

anything to add to what I just said I

11:05

said in February of

11:07

20121 shortly after the attack on the

11:10

capital that I would support president

11:13

Trump if he were the nominee of our

11:15

party and he obviously is going to be

11:17

the nominee of our party okay that is

11:19

Mitch McConnell saying the obvious if

11:21

you get Mitch McConnell behind you and

11:22

you're the Republican party you ain't

11:23

going to have a problem turning out the

11:25

Bas you're not going to have a problem

11:26

with the coalescing of the Republican

11:28

Party the same is not true for Democrats

11:30

and as for those moderate voters Joe

11:31

Biden is the one who has been alienating

11:33

them by moving toward people like Bernie

11:35

Sanders Bernie keeps threatening Joe

11:37

Biden from his left according to the

11:39

Washington Post in a meeting in the Oval

11:41

Office last fall with Biden in senior

11:43

White House AIDS Bernie Sanders quoted

11:44

from a speech delivered by FDR in one of

11:46

the most successful Democratic

11:47

presidential re-election campaigns of

11:48

the last 100 years pointing to a

11:51

portrait of Roosevelt that hangs above

11:52

the oval office's fireplace Sanders

11:54

cited Roosevelt's 1936 remarks at

11:56

madisin sare Madison Square Garden

11:57

emphasizing the extent of of elite

11:59

business opposition to the New

12:01

Deal and then he suggested that Joe

12:04

Biden needs to run as

12:06

FDR that he has to affirm The public's

12:08

frustration over the economy and focus

12:09

on identifying the political opposition

12:11

to enacting the president's agenda like

12:12

big business and big

12:14

Pharma again if Joe Biden is relying on

12:16

electoral victory for advice from Bernie

12:19

Sanders good luck to you sir now of

12:22

course the biggest problem for Joe Biden

12:24

is that he is personally a deeply

12:25

unattractive candidate not only do most

12:27

people think that he is not sympathetic

12:29

and that he is manipulative which is a

12:30

big difference from 2020 in 2020 he was

12:32

sort of the benevolent old fellow who

12:35

didn't really know what he was doing

12:36

it's kind of a fuddy duddy but at heart

12:39

a nice guy and now he has been exposed

12:42

as somebody who is willing to do pretty

12:44

much anything for political gain label

12:46

his political opposition enemies of the

12:48

state he's somebody who will go to

12:50

funerals for other people's children and

12:52

then claim that his son died in Iraq he

12:55

and and he'll use that as an excuse for

12:56

pretty much

12:57

everything he he's somebody who has

12:59

engaged in corruption for decades with

13:02

members of his own family and more than

13:04

anything else the man is just not with

13:05

us that is a that is a major problem

13:07

it's a major problem Donald Trump is old

13:09

but Donald Trump is still energetic Joe

13:12

Biden is old and Joe Biden is not alive

13:14

anymore and this is going to be a

13:16

continuing problem and so basically

13:18

Democrats have two choices both of them

13:19

unpalatable with regard to Joe Biden

13:21

Choice number one is to just whistle

13:24

past the literal graveyard at this point

13:25

pretend everything is fine that is

13:26

choice being taken by Joe Scarboro get

Ben enter promo code Ben for your

discount so Joe Scarboro yesterday in

14:27

full bag dad Bob mode talking about how

14:30

actually actually Joe Biden is he's in

14:33

tip top shape he's incredible that that

14:35

dude is doing ham Springs back at the

14:37

White House you should see him I mean

14:39

it's Inc like he can he can do an iron

14:41

cross you see him on the Rings it's

14:43

unreal Joe Biden here we

14:46

go but

14:48

comparing that guy's mental state I've

14:50

said it for years now he's

14:53

cogent but I unold him when I said he

14:56

was cogent he's far beyond cogent wow in

15:00

fact I think he's better than he's ever

15:02

been ever

15:04

intellectually wow um

15:07

analytically because he's been around

15:09

for 50 years and you know I don't know

15:12

if people know this or not Biden used to

15:14

be a

15:15

hotthead sometimes that Irishman would

15:18

get in front of the reasoning sometimes

15:20

he would say things he didn't want to

15:22

say this is and and and I don't really

15:26

you know what I don't really care go

15:28

start tape right now cuz I'm about to

15:30

tell you the truth and F you if you

15:33

can't handle the

15:35

truth this version of

15:39

Biden intellectually analytically is the

15:42

best Biden ever not a close second and

15:46

I've known him for years the brazinski

15:48

have known him for 50 years if it

15:50

weren't the truth I wouldn't say it you

15:53

might say it cuz it's not true if this

15:57

is the best version of Joe Biden what

15:59

does the worst version of Joe Biden look

16:00

like exactly I mean the guy can't even

16:05

say full sentences anymore he walks into

16:08

walls he has no idea where he is half

16:10

the time also side note Joe Scaro

16:13

increasingly looks like where's Waldo

16:14

but that's a side

16:15

point or you could be Joy re this is the

16:18

so the memo has gone out MSNBC is just

16:20

goingon to say the thing they're gonna

16:21

say the reason that Joe Biden looks old

16:23

and is old is not because he's old it's

16:26

because he's actually unbelievable at

16:27

the job that Jo Scarboro clip is is

16:29

pretty insane Joy Reed tries to match

16:31

him point for Point here she says the

16:34

reason that Joe Biden looks old is

16:36

because he's working so darn hard it's

16:38

because he's it's not because he's 81

16:40

years old which is kind of old it's

16:42

because he's working so hard at being

16:44

president so hard that he calls a lid at

16:46

11:30 every morning and then proceeds to

16:49

wander around the White House in his

16:51

bathrobe trying to grab his dog's tail

16:53

because look a doggy and then he falls

16:56

over occasionally and then they bring

16:58

him his dinner from Denny's and then

17:00

they shovel him off to bed and in the

17:02

morning the night nurse comes in she

17:03

cleans up the bed she redo the covers

17:06

they stick him full of something he goes

17:08

out there he

17:09

goes anyway and then a lid so here her

17:13

right the real reason he looks old guys

17:15

is because he's just he's eorting so

17:16

hard so much

17:18

effort Donald Trump had one job he had

17:21

one crisis he saying oh all of these

17:23

things were perfect to you had one

17:24

crisis bro it was called the pandemic

17:27

and you know what you did you bolled it

17:29

completely you did so poorly at managing

17:32

your soul crisis the one hard thing you

17:35

to do the reason he doesn't look old

17:36

like Biden looks older the presidency

17:39

ages you when you do the job Obama went

17:42

gray because he was doing the work

17:44

Donald Trump looks the same as when he

17:45

ran CU he was playing golf the whole

17:47

time oh that's what happened that's what

17:50

happened I mean also Barack Obama was in

17:53

the white house for 8 years and was much

17:55

younger when he started so I mean people

17:57

sort of age in inally as they get older

17:59

they hit a certain age and they sort of

18:00

look kind of the same because they're

18:01

kind of old yeah that that's just the

18:03

way that it is but like it's because Joe

18:06

Biden's working hard that he's old

18:08

that's weird because I know a bunch of

18:09

people who are exactly Joe Biden's age

18:11

and are way more with it than Joe Biden

18:14

one of the beauties of going to my

18:15

synagogue is that there's a lot of

18:16

intergenerational contact like people

18:18

who are my age go out to lunch with

18:19

people who are 80 and I got to tell you

18:22

I know a dozen people who are 81 years

18:24

old who are way more with it than Joe

18:26

Biden is at this point so that is

18:27

strategy number number one for the

18:28

Democrats is pretend actually everything

18:30

is fine the other strategy is the

18:31

Hillary Clinton strategy and I know this

18:33

is the first time I'm ever going to say

18:34

this points for honesty to Hillary

18:35

Clinton she says yeah he's old but you

18:38

know you got to go with him this by the

18:39

way is the proper Democratic argument

18:41

it's the same argument they made about

18:42

John fedman the basic argument is this

18:44

sure the brain don't work good but you

18:47

know the alternative is worse that's

18:49

actually democrat's best argument here

18:50

because they certainly cannot keep

18:51

talking about how Joe Biden is super

18:53

with

18:54

it somebody the other day uh said to me

18:57

zerina well well but you know uh Joe

19:00

Biden's old I said you know what Joe

19:02

Biden is old let's let's let's go ahead

19:05

and uh accept the reality Joe Biden is

19:08

old so really pick between your two old

19:11

ones uh and figure out how You're Gonna

19:14

Save Our

19:15

democracy okay so that at least is an

19:18

angle but Joe Biden won't take that

19:20

angle because again Joe B the thing

19:21

about Joe Biden is he actually still

19:22

thinks he's a spring chicken you know

19:24

literally last week he suggested that he

19:27

is with Joe Biden they have a great

19:28

marriage because of the sex and every

19:30

single person

19:33

inum contact began to bomit it was an

19:37

amazing I mean he has that effect on

19:39

people but that I mean we didn't need to

19:40

hear about Joe's sex life by the way I

19:43

don't believe him that that prostate

19:44

gave out long ago in any case Donald

19:47

Trump is obviously going to challenge

19:48

Joe Biden on this front and so today he

19:50

came out and he said that he wants a

19:52

primary debate with Joe Biden he tweeted

19:54

quote it is important for the good of

19:55

our country that Joe Biden and I debate

19:57

issues that are so vital to America Amer

19:58

and the American people therefore I'm

20:00

calling for debates anytime anywhere any

20:01

place the debates can be run by the

20:03

corrupt DNC or their subsidiary the

20:04

commission on presidential debates I

20:06

look forward to receiving a response

20:07

thanks for your attention to this matter

20:10

so the the the fact that that Donald

20:12

Trump is like I don't care anytime any

20:14

place anyone doesn't matter I in front

20:17

of a dogghouse in front of the Four

20:18

Seasons gardening and Lawn Club don't

20:20

care anywhere that's because Donald

20:23

Trump is working under the correct

20:24

assumption that even a mild Dr to

20:27

position between him saying sentences

20:28

and Joe Biden saying sentences will not

20:30

end well for Joe Biden we'll get some

20:32

about them at the Ben Shapiro show rules

and restrictions May apply you know he's

21:34

working on the under the same

21:35

supposition the Biden campaign here's

21:37

Karine jeanpierre asked specifically

21:38

about whether Joe Biden would debate

21:39

Donald Trump now of course it's not

21:40

going to happen there's no way in hell

21:43

and frankly I'm kind of surprised that

21:44

she doesn't just say that that she

21:46

doesn't just say in it is the position

21:48

of this campaign that Donald Trump is an

21:49

insurrectionist and we don't debate

21:51

insurrectionists or we don't debate

21:52

people who have actually had civil

21:54

judgments against them for rape or like

21:56

there are a thousand lines you could use

21:58

and instead they're just going to keep

21:59

pretending that they don't know the

22:00

answer to this when everyone knows the

22:01

answer to

22:02

it is President Biden going to commit to

22:05

a debate with Donald Trump that's

22:07

something for uh the campaign to speak

22:09

to well we know when the debates are

22:12

going to be we know where they're going

22:14

to be is he going to go you should speak

22:18

to the campaign in 2020 once it got down

22:21

to oneon-one Joe Biden said I can hardly

22:25

wait to debate him how about now I'm

22:28

going to sound like a broken record you

22:30

should reach out to the campaign okay

22:32

that is not just a campaign question

22:34

that's a question of presidential

22:35

scheduling they're not asking about

22:37

Donald Trump's political chances they're

22:40

asking whether Joe Biden will show up to

22:42

a debate which is a presidential

22:43

question as well as a campaign question

22:46

and then Karine jeanpier has asked you

22:47

know the president has note cards for

22:49

pretty much everything like you may

22:50

notice this every so often they'll catch

22:52

him on screen and he'll be holding a

22:53

note card and there will be a zoom into

22:56

the note card and it will say breathe in

22:58

breathe out breathe in breathe out

23:00

because Joe Biden has to be informed on

23:03

every basic matter in his life so a

23:05

reporter asks her she's like are you

23:07

getting on his case because he uses no

23:08

cards well yeah because he does it for

23:10

like every single human thing every

23:13

human activity now listen I know about

23:15

being queued right my schedule is a mess

23:19

I have an assistant Kelly who basically

23:20

makes sure that I take out the garbage

23:22

that's not quite the same thing as if I

23:24

went on the show every single day with a

23:26

set of note cards and then I was like

23:31

the yeah here we

23:34

go why does the president relies so

23:36

heavily on note cards you're upset

23:37

because the president has note cards

23:39

you're you're asking me a question about

23:40

the president having note cards I'm

23:42

asking why the president who has had a

23:45

probably one of the most successful

23:47

first three years of of administration

23:50

than any modern day president that's

23:52

your response you how dare you ask about

23:55

the fact that the president of the

23:57

United States is scile are you saying

23:59

that this man this magnificent human

24:03

specimen that this verile man that this

24:07

example of human

24:10

Powerhouse qualities this man you're

24:13

saying yeah yeah that's what we're

24:15

asking we're asking about the note cards

24:17

yes I people the righteous indignation

24:19

about basic basic questions like why

24:21

does the president read off note cards

24:23

and why can't he read those ones are

24:25

pretty easy so all of this stack up for

24:28

it's going to be a fascinating State of

24:29

the Union tonight who's ready for a

24:31

state of the union so here is my

24:32

obligatory 30 second rip on the State of

24:34

the Union I hate the state of the union

24:36

is monarchic crap there's no reason that

24:38

the legislature which is a co-equal and

24:40

in fact under the Constitution

24:41

predominant branch in American

24:43

government in terms of legislation

24:44

should cow out to the president where no

24:46

matter who the president is he walks in

24:48

and everybody grips and grins and does a

24:50

picture with him and they all do weird

24:51

smiles and then they stand up and they

24:53

clap and then they sit down as though

24:55

we're at some sort of strange Rock

24:57

concert where half of the concert is

24:59

populated by a cult worshiping the rock

25:01

star and the other half of the concert

25:03

just hates them hates them like it it's

25:05

so stupid the whole thing is dumb and

25:07

then everybody has their guests up in

25:08

the balcony and we pretend that we care

25:09

who the guests are oh look the president

25:11

is calling on Rand mcjones over there

25:13

Rando Rando stand up and and explain how

25:16

rando's a a good plumber he's a he's a

25:18

hell of a plumber Rando Rando take a and

25:21

we do that for like eight hours okay but

25:25

with that out of the way I will say that

25:28

I'm looking forward to the State of the

25:29

Union why you may ask because it's going

25:31

to be amusing it's going to be amusing

25:34

he's going to say a bunch of dumb stuff

25:36

he's gonna say a bunch of dumb stuff

25:37

about politics it's not going to make

25:38

any sense he's going to give you a giant

25:41

list of things that he wants to

25:42

do if we stick together and we try

25:45

really really hard we can cure cancer

25:48

with a

25:50

moonshot he's used that in every single

25:53

State of the Union Address of his

25:54

presidency and every speech before that

25:56

and then you're going to get him talking

25:57

about oh corporations oh the corporation

25:59

you know you don't get fewer chips in

26:01

your bag of chips let me tell you I when

26:04

I open that L potato chips I want every

26:07

chip in there not seven chips nine chips

26:10

we'll get some of that we'll get some of

26:11

the I have presided over the most job

26:13

creation in American history if you

26:15

don't count the part where you know we

26:17

had a giant

26:18

Banda and inflation is good it's going

26:20

to be a lot of that but what are we all

26:22

watching for we're watching to see

26:25

whether he lives so this is how

26:28

this High Sak stuff guys because

26:31

basically we are watching the political

26:34

version of Saw he's down in the basement

26:37

he's chained down there it's going to

26:39

end real poorly I don't know quite how

26:41

it's going to end real poorly is he

26:42

going to escape is he going to know off

26:43

his own political leg what's it going to

26:45

be what happens if the teleprompter goes

26:47

on the fritz you want to end his

26:50

presidency all you need is one guy going

26:52

after that plug and that's it you pull

26:55

the plug on the teleprompter you pull

26:56

the plug on Joe Biden

26:58

can you imagine Joe Biden trying to riff

27:00

for more than 27 seconds W so that's

27:04

going to be the amusing part and so we

27:05

are all going to be watching this on

27:07

tentor hooks I mean it's the same

27:09

feeling you have when you watch Joe

27:10

Biden go up the stairs now listen as a

27:13

parent of four young children 10 7 four

27:16

and nine months let me tell I spend

27:17

virtually all of my day when I'm not on

27:19

the air with the kids and that means

27:22

that I spend an enormous amount of time

27:24

trying to force the obstacles to their

27:26

to their physical health and because

27:28

kids are little suicide machines all

27:29

they do is run into things if there's

27:30

anything in a remote area that can harm

27:33

them they will be there in a second

27:34

they're like mag they're magnetically

27:35

drawn to things that can harm them so I

27:37

can spot threats like a mile off like if

27:41

my kid is on a tall chair and the kid

27:43

starts like even remotely rocking that

27:45

chair kid's off the chair right because

27:46

you know you know that like check off's

27:48

gun it will be like the chair will

27:50

topple somebody will get hurt you spend

27:52

your entire life guarding against that

27:54

that's like watching the Joe Biden

27:55

speeech now I'm watching The Joe Biden

27:56

speech and I can see it coming I can see

27:58

it coming like a train down the tracks

28:00

bearing down on Old Joe and that train

28:03

is physical

28:04

reality will he have like a full-on

28:07

two-minute just Gaff where he just

28:09

starts speaking in tongues is he gonna

28:12

go out there and start talking about his

28:13

favorite episode Mr Rogers no one knows

28:15

is he G to get up there and start

28:16

jabbering about his sex life with Jill

28:18

could happen and frankly I'm here for it

28:21

it's this is the most suspenseful State

28:22

of the Union Address of my Lifetime by

28:25

far and um kind of looking forward to to

28:27

it to be honest with you good news is

28:29

that you can watch it with us tonight

28:30

8:30 p.m. eastern time you can watch it

28:33

we're going to be doing our Backstage

28:34

Live and again I I will say there there

28:37

is only one way I think that Joe Biden

28:40

can can actually make the speech a

28:42

success and know it's not to take

28:43

enormous amount of Hunter cocaine I

28:45

think the only way that he can actually

28:46

make this a success is that at some

28:48

point he's going to have to reach into

28:49

his actual Podium and then he's going to

28:51

have to say and I have something here

28:52

for you something that I think will

28:55

change your day Serv

28:58

29:00

that this is going to be good but I'm

30:17

benen okay meanwhile speaking of

30:20

ridiculous people getting hit in the

30:22

face by reality Kathy hokel is the

30:25

governor of New York remember that time

30:27

that the New York Times went absolutely

30:29

insane the entire staff they went

30:31

absolutely insane because the New York

30:32

Times in the middle of gigantic historic

30:34

large riots in the middle of 2020 the

30:36

most damaging riots in terms of property

30:37

damage in American history2 billion

30:39

dollars in property damage you remember

30:41

that Tom Cotton the senator from

30:43

Arkansas he had the tarity to suggest

30:45

that perhaps the National Guard should

30:47

be called out to you know arrest people

30:49

who are burning things down and everyone

30:51

at the New York Times went nuts it was

30:53

in no no people will get killed we were

30:55

told by people like Nicole Hannah Jones

30:57

that brilliant mind I'm being incredibly

31:00

sarcastic right now Nicole Hannah Jones

31:02

they DED Nicole Hannah Jones the

31:04

historical falsifier she she's like

31:06

everybody in the New York Times in the

31:08

oped page in the news page like this

31:10

oped will get people killed people will

31:12

die because you suggested that the

31:13

National Guard be called on riers that

31:16

is unacceptable un and James Bennett who

31:18

is the op-ed editor he had to resign

31:20

over it for the great sin of publishing

31:22

the most common sensical oped perhaps

31:24

the New York Times has ever published I

31:26

love I still love that the York Times

31:27

will print op EDS from like genocidal

31:30

heads of Iran from actual terrorists

31:32

working for Hamas Tom Cotton writes an

31:34

oped like hey you know guys maybe like

31:36

if the cops can't handle it we should

31:37

call the National Guard and everybody

31:38

the New York time is like no no impos

31:40

well now the chickens are coming home to

31:42

roost ain't they because Kathy hook the

31:45

far-left governor of New York she has

31:47

now announced that she is going to

31:49

deploy 750 members of the National Guard

31:53

and 250 State and MTA police officers to

31:56

the subways to the Subways this is how

31:58

bad things have got at the New York

32:00

subways so it turns out that broken

32:01

windows policing which is if you have

32:03

somebody jumping a Turn Style you arrest

32:05

them and then you put them in jail for a

32:07

long period of time and then people

32:08

won't commit bigger crimes broken

32:10

windows Theory which was first

32:11

promulgated by James Q Wilson he's

32:13

sociologist his basic theory is that if

32:15

you have a neighborhood and a window is

32:17

broken and not fixed and the person who

32:18

breaks the window is not arrested soon

32:20

there will be lots of broken windows and

32:21

then there will be property damage and

32:22

then there will be violent crime that of

32:24

course is Right New York because it

32:26

decided on no cash bail just catch and

32:29

release for criminals essentially

32:31

because they decided they weren't even

32:33

going to police at all so-called minor

32:35

crimes like jumping turn Styles well

32:37

sooner or later what you end up with is

32:38

people getting pushed on the tracks in

32:39

New York City and so now Kathy hokel has

32:42

been forced to deploy the National Guard

32:44

to the subway system of the biggest city

32:46

in America plus 250 State and MTA police

32:49

officers to check bags you might call it

32:52

stop and frisk that's what you might

32:54

call it you might call it actually you

32:57

you know search and seizure you might

32:59

call it that you could I mean I was told

33:01

that was racist I was told that that's

33:02

because probably she hates black people

33:04

that's the only explanation I can think

33:06

of she clearly hates minorities that's

33:07

why she's doing this so here was Kathy

33:10

hokel announcing this to the

33:11

consternation of the New York

33:14

Times so hok announced a fivepoint plan

33:17

today which includes deploying 750

33:20

National Guard soldiers and 250 New York

33:23

State and Transit officers to do random

33:25

bag checks at the city busiest Transit

33:28

stations installing new cameras

33:30

including ones in conductor cabins

33:32

proposing a bill to keep those who

33:34

assault people off the subway increasing

33:36

coordination between District Attorneys

33:38

and police about repeat Transit crime

33:40

offenders and expanding teams who are

33:43

trained to help those dealing with a

33:45

mental health crisis on the subway

33:46

system now there's already push back to

33:48

these new changes Transit Advocates say

33:50

the bag searches are a waste of

33:52

resources and the nyclu says black and

33:54

brown New Yorkers will be targeted

33:56

governor hokel says though if someone

33:58

refuses a random bad check they won't be

34:00

riding the

34:01

train they can refuse and and we can

34:04

refuse to ENT we can refuse

34:06

them they can they can

34:08

walk whoa Kathy hok welcome to the

34:12

Republican party woo look at that

34:15

fascist lady she's she's a white fascist

34:17

she is that's what I heard from The New

34:18

York Times we're going to get into more

34:19

of the insane hypocracy of the New York

34:22

Governor Plus San Francisco is no longer

34:25

a progressive City according to to the

34:27

San Francisco Chronicles so it's fun to

34:28

watch as the consequences of all bad

34:30

policy come home to roost we'll get to

34:32

that momentarily first folks as we just

34:34

discussed tonight the daily wire

34:36

backstage it happened Matt Walsh Michael

34:38

NES Andrew Clay Jeremy boring and I will

34:40

be watching and reacting live to the

34:42

2024 State of the Union on daily wire

34:45

plus we'll be breaking down the State of

34:46

the Union as it happens we'll be

34:48

answering your questions live including

34:50

whether there is a defibrillator on hand

34:52

for the president of the United States

34:54

it's an experience you won't find

34:55

anywhere else watch it all live tonight

34:57

8:30 p.m. Eastern on the dailywire app

34:58

and dailywire.com okay meanwhile so

35:02

again the state of New York is now

35:03

deploying the National Guard to shut

35:05

down the crime now you might think that

35:07

they could have you know allowed the

35:08

police to do that but no that's silly no

35:10

no no they're going to send State troops

35:12

down to police over there and presumably

35:15

the members of The New York Times will

35:17

lose their ever loving mind over all of

35:19

this beside bag checks the five

35:21

initiatives include a $20 million plan

35:22

to beef up the number of clinical teams

35:24

responding to people in mental distress

35:25

on subways from two to 10

35:28

systemwide wait hold up wait so there

35:31

there's going to be $20 million for 10

35:33

for for 10 teams to respond to

35:36

systemwide distress I mean I may not be

35:39

an expert at math how big are those

35:40

teams that's a lot of money my goodness

35:43

another of hok's five initiatives is her

35:45

support of the mta's plan to install

35:46

surveillance cameras inside conductor

35:48

and train operator caps surveillance

35:50

cameras no that can't be okay I mean

35:53

what about privacy concerns for people

35:55

who are peeing in the subway station

35:57

mean I've been told by the left that all

35:59

this is bad and if Rudy Giuliani were

36:00

doing any of it he would be a fascist or

36:01

if Michael Bloomberg were doing any of

36:02

it he would be a fascist but Kathy hok

36:04

is doing it and we know she's good

36:05

because she's a Democrat that's the way

36:06

this works all of this is a direct

36:09

response to the slashing of an MTA

36:11

conductor named Alton Scott who narrowly

36:13

survived a random assault last week when

36:14

he stuck his head out of his cab as his

36:16

train stopped at a Brooklyn Brooklyn

36:17

subway

36:19

station he so he stuck his head out and

36:21

someone slashed his neck which is like

36:23

New York man place where dreams come

36:25

true if you can make it there you

36:27

literally can make it anywhere because

36:28

you have to

36:31

survive apparently Transit brass

36:34

declines to comment on Wednesday how

36:35

many stations might need upgrades to

36:36

their camera coverage citing security

36:38

concerns they don't even want to say how

36:39

many places are lacking cameras they're

36:40

afraid the criminals are going to go

36:42

over there they're also going to hire a

36:43

new Criminal Justice Advocate to assist

36:46

the victims of crime in the system and

36:47

develop a system to flag recidivist

36:49

offenders to District Attorneys which is

36:51

like all of them so I'm pleased to see

36:53

that reality has finally hit Kathy hok

36:56

and um and again all credit to Tom

36:58

Cotton who's a very bad man because he

37:00

is a republican but all credit to Kathy

37:01

hokel she's obviously just trying to

37:03

keep the peace meanwhile the city of San

37:05

Francisco has been hit by reality as

37:07

well and it's hilarious I'm into it so

37:10

the San Francisco Chronicle had an

37:13

actual headline today titled voters make

37:16

it clear that San Francisco can no

37:18

longer be called a progressive City oh

37:21

no be still my Beating Heart what

37:23

happened I'll tell you what happened

37:25

according to Politico the liberal of San

37:27

Francisco pivoted rightward in Tuesday's

37:29

election as voters responded to ongoing

37:31

drug homelessness and crime crises by

37:32

approving policies that bolster police

37:34

and requireed drug screening for welfare

37:37

recipients wait did I did I get elected

37:39

mayor of San Francisco and I didn't know

37:41

it that's weird these are all the

37:43

policies I've been recommending for

37:44

literally decades at this point the

37:46

result represents a major victory for

37:48

embattled mayor London breed a moderate

37:49

Democrat who faces a tough fight for a

37:51

second full term in November she hitched

37:53

her political future to a slate of three

37:54

ballot measures that aim to move a city

37:56

struggling with its slow post-pandemic

37:58

recovery in a strikingly more

38:00

conservative

38:01

Direction so voters approved all three

38:03

of her measures including her proposal

38:04

to screen and mandate addiction

38:06

treatment for people receiving County

38:07

welfare so that's right she's not going

38:09

to drug test you before the city cuts

38:10

you a check which used to be like

38:13

Baseline Republican policy and Democrats

38:16

who wish to win Victory are now

38:17

embracing those policies so here is the

38:19

question will Joe Biden do the same on a

38:22

national level because it turns out even

38:24

Democrats don't like living in Hell

38:25

holes like New York City subway system

38:27

or the Streets of San Francisco they

38:28

don't like it at all London breed said

38:31

we want San Francisco to be exactly what

38:33

the people who live here want to see

38:34

that is a safe affordable place to call

38:36

home well all that's going to require is

38:38

you to stop being a far-left crazy

38:39

person and it seems as though even the

38:41

San Francisco voters are beginning to

38:43

realize that besides the drug screening

38:46

requirement London breed proposed

38:47

expanding police officers authority to

38:48

chase suspects and to use drones and

38:50

video surveillance she also joined Pro

38:52

development Advocates to back waving the

38:54

local tax for developers who convert

38:56

office build buildings into housing wait

38:57

wait she's relieving housing regulations

38:59

and lowering

39:00

taxes so she took them directly to

39:02

voters critics attribute her move to the

39:05

right to desperation amid dismal

39:07

approval ratings and a growing field of

39:08

mayoral Challengers they accuse her of

39:11

trying to turn the city of peace and

39:12

love into a City Catering to the

39:13

interest of the wealthy I wasn't aware

39:15

that poor people loved crime and drug

39:17

use but apparently that's something that

39:19

people in San Francisco think so

39:20

congratulations to San Francisco on

39:23

meeting with reality that's exciting

39:25

stuff now meanwhile again the

39:27

administration continues to refuse to

39:29

meet with reality when it comes to the

39:32

latest with regards to the Middle East

39:34

the United States government continues

39:36

to promote this idea that a ceasefire is

39:38

just around the corner if only Kamas

39:40

will see reason spoiler alert they won't

39:43

they're a terrorist group they seek

39:45

Palestinian suffering because they think

39:46

that they will find useful idiots in the

39:48

west willing to run cover for them to

39:50

retain power the more suffering they

39:51

achieve that's the math here Israel does

39:54

not wish to maximize Palestinian

39:55

suffering they wish to they wish to

39:57

maximize Kamas death they wish to to

40:00

depose Kamas in the Gaza Strip and

40:02

replace that with something that is not

40:04

a terrorist entity hellbent on

40:06

destroying the state of Israel and Hamas

40:09

has a different agenda hamas's agenda is

40:11

to get as many Palestinians killed as

40:13

humanly possible so that the West will

40:15

then say to Israel to stop and then

40:17

Kamas can retain its position in the

40:19

Gaza Strip and hopefully maximize its

40:21

position also in the West Bank that is

40:22

literally hamas's agenda that's why it's

40:25

so bizarre the West is like why won't

40:26

Kamas sign on to maybe because their

40:28

strategic interest dictates they not

40:29

sign on to a ceasefire a ceasefire is

40:31

bad for Kamas because a ceasefire means

40:34

that the pressure ratchets down on Biden

40:37

from the west from the left Wingers and

40:39

it ratchets down on Israel from the left

40:41

Wingers during a ceasefire and then

40:42

Israel builds up again and then they go

40:44

into Rafa and they finish this thing off

40:46

so Kamas does not want a ceasefire

40:48

actually Kamas wants to retain the

40:50

hostages so they can use them as

40:52

leverage plus they're probably

40:53

continually raping many of them and many

40:55

of them are already dead there's still

40:57

six American citizens who are being held

40:59

hostage byas and yet the Biden

41:01

Administration continues to trot out

41:03

this bizarre line that somehow Israel

41:06

has to fight the war nicer they have to

41:07

fight the war just it has to be a nicer

41:09

War there needs to be some way of

41:11

getting humanitarian Aid in there well

41:12

Israel is shipping in more Aid now than

41:14

they did before October 7th they're now

41:17

shipping in something like 300 trucks a

41:19

day into the Gaza Strip or making

41:21

available those trucks no one wants to

41:22

drive in there I wonder why why wouldn't

41:24

anyone want to drive into the Gaza Strip

41:25

after all it's with nice decent

41:27

Palestinian civilians and and Kamas

41:30

fellow Travelers who will most certainly

41:32

be kind and gentle to the drivers of the

41:35

the trucks or they might kill them and

41:38

steal the aid it could be that so the B

41:42

Administration continues to put the

41:43

pressure on Israel mainly because they

41:45

feel that they won't be able to put

41:46

pressure on Hamas and so that of course

41:48

gives Hamas every reason in the world to

41:49

be as inrent as they want to be

41:51

according to the New York Times talks

41:53

between Israel and Hamas over the

41:54

release of dozens of Israeli hostages

41:55

have stalled dimming hopes that a deal

41:57

could be reached before Ramadan begins

41:59

in a few days again this this whole

42:01

timeline well we better stop this thing

42:02

before Ramadan we want any fighting

42:04

during Ramadan well we can't it's like

42:08

Doctor Strange Love we can't fight in

42:09

here this is the War Room Oh you mean

42:12

the Islamic holiday of Ramadan I wow

42:15

that radical Muslims consider to be not

42:18

only extremely holy but so holy that no

42:20

one may do anything except for them if

42:21

they're killing Jews or something like

42:23

that clearly Ramadan is is the dividing

42:26

line that that's where things have to

42:27

stop dead negotiators had been

42:30

discussing a proposal for an initial 6E

42:32

ceasefire during which Hamas would

42:33

release about 40 people including women

42:35

elderly and Ill hostages and five female

42:37

Israeli soldiers for a substantial

42:38

number of Palestinian Prisoners the

42:40

discussions included terms for relasing

42:41

at least 15 prisoners convicted of

42:43

serious acts of terrorism would be

42:45

exchanged for the female soldiers the

42:46

terms also said Israel would release

42:48

hundreds of other detainees or prisoners

42:50

an average of 10 Palestinians for every

42:52

Israeli civilian freed these are the

42:54

terms Hamas turned down so Hamas was

42:56

going to get back 400 terrorists for 40

42:59

hostages who are

43:01

innocent and they turned it down and

43:04

they turn it down because they want more

43:05

Palestinians to die because they think

43:07

the more pressure they keep on Joe Biden

43:08

the more he's going to pressure Israel

43:09

it's that

43:10

simple American officials had said they

43:13

hoped to put an agreement in place to

43:14

release some hostages to do that before

43:16

Ramadan but in recent day Kamas has

43:18

backed away from the proposed agreement

43:20

and made demands that Israel refuses to

43:21

meet well yes because those demands

43:23

include things like end the war is going

43:26

to leave Hamas in place no government in

43:28

Israel left right or Center could could

43:29

leave Hamas in place meanwhile the

43:31

hoodies continue to up the anti because

43:33

as it turns out the United States dister

43:36

attempts to stop the hoodies by hitting

43:38

a few camels in the ass in the middle of

43:40

Yemen has been unavailing in stopping

43:44

this ragtag group of terrorists from

43:46

firing on ships according to the Wall

43:48

Street Journal three people on board a

43:49

Barbados Flagship died clearly they hate

43:51

just Jews right they had a Barbados

43:53

Flagship after it was struck in an

43:55

attack clean by the houthis according to

43:57

the US military the bul carrier true

44:00

confidence caught fire after being hit

44:01

early Wednesday local time by a missile

44:03

as it sailed 50 nautical miles Southwest

44:05

of Aiden forcing the crew to abandon

44:06

ship three people were killed in the

44:08

attack at least four were injured

44:09

including three who were in critical

44:11

condition according to us

44:13

centcom the iran-backed houthis say they

44:16

targeted The Vessel because what the

44:17

group claimed was its us

44:20

ownership there is in fact no us

44:22

ownership there is not owned by the US

44:26

the ship's managers third January

44:27

Maritime of Greece and FML ship

44:29

management of Cyprus and its owner true

44:31

confidence shipping of Liberia was

44:33

bringing Chinese steel products and

44:34

trucks to Saudi Arabia and Jordan and it

44:36

was Mo mostly manned by Filipinos other

44:38

workers on board were from India Vietnam

44:40

Sri Lanka and

44:42

Nepal so that's where we are now Iranian

44:45

back terrorist groups are killing Asians

44:47

aboard a a Greek flagged

44:51

ship and they're doing so in order to

44:54

hit the Israelis or something

44:57

again this is the second ship that

44:58

they've now sunk a British registered

45:00

ship that was struck last month by the

45:01

hoodi sank in the Red Sea in recent days

45:03

and that's causing a massive

45:03

environmental disaster the

45:04

environmentalists of course are nowhere

45:06

to be found so clearly the pressure

45:08

needs to be brought on the Israelis or

45:11

something that I guess is the the

45:12

radical proposition being put forward by

45:14

the Biden Administration I got to say

45:16

they're so disconnected from reality

45:18

it's insane John krey is their

45:19

environmental Envoy the Biden

45:20

Administration he is leaving his job as

45:22

environmental Envoy where he did an

45:24

amazing job not doing anything about the

45:26

but he did fly around on a lot of jets

45:28

and he said many words in a sous

45:32

[Music]

45:34

voice John carer whose face has grown

45:37

longer with each passing

45:40

day looking more and more like an head

45:44

from Easter

45:45

Ireland here he was yesterday talking

45:49

about the real reason people are angry

45:52

at the Russians in Ukraine is not

45:54

because they inv Creed a sovereign

45:56

country it's because they're mean to the

46:01

tra I believe that uh Russia has the

46:04

ability to be able to make enormous

46:06

changes if it really wanted to I mean if

46:09

Russia has the ability to wage a war

46:12

illegally uh and invade another country

46:16

uh they ought to be able to find the

46:18

effort to be responsible in the climate

46:20

issue we need every country including

46:22

Russia Russia is one of the largest

46:23

emitters of emitters in world if Russia

46:27

wanted to show good

46:28

faith they could go out and announce

46:31

what their reductions are going to be

46:33

and make a greater effort to reduce

46:34

emissions now and maybe that would open

46:37

up the door for people to feel better

46:39

about U what Russia is choosing to do

46:42

with these people are so stupid they're

46:44

so stupid they're unbelievably stupid

46:46

okay let me make something clear in

46:48

foreign policy the power of moral

46:50

suasion means nothing nothing

46:53

historically zero things never has a

46:55

state in human history changed course

46:58

because people talked mean at it it has

47:01

never happened it will never happen if

47:03

you read the history of negotiation

47:05

never has moral suasion alone swayed a

47:08

state from pursuing what it perceives to

47:09

be its National interest Russia is not

47:11

going to it's a Giant gas station it's

47:13

not going to suddenly start being nice

47:14

to the environment because John Cary

47:16

calls on the moral voice of the world to

47:19

show its outrage mean

47:22

letter this administration's approach to

47:24

diplomacy is to diplomacy for idiots

47:27

they do the same thing with Iran well if

47:29

we Joe B's like well we if we just tell

47:31

the irans we're mad at them probably the

47:34

whole world is say they can do the whole

47:36

world no no you know what no one cares

47:39

no one cares that's not the way that

47:40

foreign policy Works foreign policy has

47:42

never worked that way every attempt in

47:45

American foreign policy history to

47:46

change foreign policy by just saying how

47:48

much we hate what somebody else is doing

47:50

has been totally useless and worse than

47:52

useless it demonstrates American

47:54

weakness but that's John all over thank

47:56

God that dumb was never president of the

47:58

United States all right coming up we are

48:01

going to be jumping into more stupidity

48:04

from people like Rashida Talib oh yes

48:06

she doesn't say dumb things just about

48:08

Hamas she really likes terrorists but

48:10

she also has very stupid things to say

48:12

about the economy so if you're in the
