Ep. 2068 - Harris Should Be IMPEACHED
51:58 Share

Kamala Harris should be impeached. I'll explain in just a moment. First, the wait is almost over. On October 28th, Matt Walsh's hit comedy, Am I Racist?, is finally coming home to Daily Wire+. That is correct. The number one documentary of the decade will be available for streaming exclusively at Daily Wire+.

right now. Okay, so when I say that Kamala Harris should be impeached, there are a bunch of reasons why theoretically she could be impeached. So for example, the fact that she has not yet invoked the 25th Amendment to get rid of her boss after defenestrating him from his nomination, that would be a pretty good sized abdication of her constitutional duty. See, the Constitution suggests that the Vice President is chiefly responsible for getting rid of the President if the President is no longer

Campos mentis, if his brain no longer functions. That clearly has been the case for Joe Biden for a long while. So clearly has that been the case that Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party pushed him off the back of a train to get him out of the nomination position. But they left him in office, which means that she has abdicated her duty. But there's something more specific that I'm talking about today. So I want to go all the way back in the time machine to 2019. You remember that Donald Trump was impeached twice.

The first time he was actually not impeached over January 6th, he was impeached over Ukraine. So there was a phone call that he held with Vladimir Zelensky in which he allegedly threatened Vladimir Zelensky with withdrawal of American military aid if Vladimir Zelensky did not cause prosecutors in Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden's relationship with Burisma, a natural gas company in Ukraine that Hunter Biden was on the board of.

And this was considered an impeachable offense. The basic idea for those who voted in favor of impeachment is that the president of the United States could not could not use foreign policy as a way of manufacturing election related topics. You could not try to swivel an American election based on withholding aid from an American ally. In fact, here is how the impeachment charges against Trump ran in 2019. As you recall, he was, in fact, impeached in the House.

And then, of course, he was acquitted in the Senate. So in 2019, here is how those Trump impeachment charges ran. Quote, using the powers of his high office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States presidential election. He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, and influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election to his advantage.

President Trump also sought to pressure the government of Ukraine to take these steps by conditioning official U.S. government acts of significant value to Ukraine on its public announcement of the investigations.

Okay, so just to get it straight, what the charge was when it was brought against Trump in 2019 is that Donald Trump had made the government of Ukraine do a thing beneficial to his reelect effort. And in order to do that, he had threatened to withdraw their aid. Now, fast forward to 2024. Israel is currently engaged in a war in the Gaza Strip. That war is with Hamas, a terror group that, as you will recall,

A little more than a year ago, on October 7th, 2023, invaded Israel, killed 1,200 people, took 250 hostages back into the terror tunnels in the Gaza Strip. And ever since then, the Biden administration has been, shall we say, reticent to simply push for Israeli victory. In the Biden administration, foreign policy on its own terms makes no sense. Their foreign policy in Ukraine

where Ukraine is currently fighting a defensive war, where they are not going to achieve total victory. They're not going to take back the Donbass region. They are not going to take back Crimea. The Biden administration foreign policy has been total victory for Ukraine. Whatever Zelensky wants, Zelensky gets. And then when it comes to Israel, which does have dominant military power in the region, then it's, man, we really wish Israel would deescalate. This deescalation needs to start right now. I mean, enough of this. Imagine for a second if the

The Biden administration had reversed those positions. And when it came to Ukraine, they said, we are going to provide the amount of aid necessary in order for you to protect your borders. And we're going to push for an off ramp. And when it came to Israel, they had said, you get what you need in order to destroy your enemies. And we will stand back and watch with glee as you take out Hamas, Hezbollah and all the Iranian proxy groups. We have very different world right now. That would look like a foreign policy that makes some sort of sense.

In fact, that is something that the Biden administration should be doing right now. Yesterday, I had a conversation with the father of an American hostage. The hostage's name is Idan Alexander, who's being held in the Gaza Strip by Hamas ever since October 7th.

And he suggested quite rightly that if the Biden administration had any brains at all or really any spine, what they would be doing right now is they would be saying to Iran, we will let Israel completely off the chain to destroy your nuclear facilities unless you get Hamas to release the hostages. And tomorrow the hostages would be out. He's totally right about that. By the way, instead, here's what is going on. And here's where the impeachable stuff comes in.

The Biden administration is putting open pressure right now on the state of Israel to let in aid to the Gaza Strip. Now, do I think that this is really about aid for the Gaza Strip? I do not. The reason I do not think that this is about aid for the Gaza Strip is because it is well known that Hamas is stealing about 50% of all aid that is going into the Gaza Strip at this point. According to the New York Post, Hamas terrorists were captured on video taking control of 47 of 100 aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip on Tuesday alone.

Channel 12's Almag Boker reported, quote, it is no secret that Hamas takes control of humanitarian aid. We've already published here tapes of Hamas in which you can hear them saying themselves they have no more room in their own warehouses. But this evening, we also bring special documentation of what it looks like from inside with cameras that are tracking it in real time.

Where is the aid supposed to be dropped off? Well, it's supposed to be dropped with members of the UNRWA, which is a Hamas front group. So yesterday, the Biden administration warned Israel that they would withdraw military aid if Israel did not facilitate large-scale entry of humanitarian aid into the northern Gaza Strip. In a letter to senior Israeli officials, according to the Wall Street Journal, dated October 13th and signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the U.S. blamed Israel for a drastic drop in humanitarian aid into Gaza

that contributed to starvation and widespread suffering, particularly in the enclaves north, where Israel launched a renewed ground operation nearly two weeks ago. The top American officials gave Israel 30 days to, quote, reverse the downward humanitarian trajectory, or else it may have implications for future weapons transfers and funding under U.S. law. Blinken and Austin specifically cite a part of Foreign Assistance Act that bars the U.S. from providing security aid to any nation that, quote, prohibits or otherwise restricts directly or indirectly the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance.

The State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, said Tuesday, we have seen Israel make changes before. When they make changes, humanitarian assistance can increase. Now, here is the reason I am skeptical that the threat to withdraw aid is about the humanitarian assistance in the northern Gaza Strip.

Reason number one, Israel has been shipping in enormous sums of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip for months at this point. We're talking about 20, basically 2,500 calories per person per day in the Gaza Strip for months on end into an area where the civilians are still largely aligned with Hamas and where Israeli hostages are still being held captives, including multiple Americans.

So do I think that this is about the humanitarian assistance? No, I do not. I actually think what this is, it is an excuse. They're looking for a legal excuse to embargo Israel in order to threaten Israel not to do anything too big with Iran. Why? And here's where the other half of the story comes in. Here's where the impeachable stuff comes in. So just yesterday, the Washington Post reported that Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, had told Israel that Israel will strike Iranian military, not nuclear or oil targets.

Buried in this Washington Post article is a bit of a revelation. According to the Washington Post, the White House had no immediate comment. The Israeli prime minister's office said in a statement, quote, we listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interests.

However, according to the Washington Post, quote, the retaliatory action would be calibrated to avoid the perception of political interference in the U.S. elections. The official familiar with the matter said signaling Netanyahu's understanding the scope of the Israeli strike has the potential to reshape the presidential race. Let's just make very clear what is happening right now. That admission right there that this is about the U.S. presidential race.

that there's pressure being put on the Israeli government not to retaliate against Iran, which fired 181 ballistic missiles into Israel, that that pressure not to go too hard is being driven by electoral concerns, and that humanitarian war aid to Israel is being withdrawn or threatened to be withdrawn by the U.S. government in order to get Israel to do less with Iran in advance of the election. You know what that looks an awful lot like? That looks an awful lot like electioneering with foreign aid.

That looks an awful lot like what Democrats impeached Donald Trump for in 2019. That's what that sounds like. It sounds as they put those two pieces of the puzzle together. Piece number one, the United States openly threatening withdrawal of military aid to Israel, supposedly based on humanitarian assistance concerns, which is clearly not the case. And two,

The story that says that Israel is going to hold back the full brunt of an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities in order to facilitate, that's what that means, to facilitate the election efforts of Kamala Harris. And that is the 2019 impeachment case in a nutshell.

That is, in fact, remember, Kamala Harris is part of these phone calls. She's been on every phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu for weeks. She's in the room. We have pictures of her in the room. So she and her campaign are saying to Netanyahu, don't go too hard on Iran. And simultaneously, the secretary of state is saying, and by the way, you should just know your military aid might get put on hold. That sounds an awful lot like that 2019 impeachment charge against Donald Trump.

But I guess it's fine so long as it's a Democrat, which is, of course, the case. The media have no interest in whether or not foreign aid provisions are being violated so long as we're not talking about Ukraine and Donald Trump, apparently. Meanwhile, the continued freakout is, in fact, maintaining for Kamala Harris

There's some national polling numbers that have come out over the course of the last 24 hours that are fairly good for Kamala Harris. The problem for her, of course, is that this election is not going to come down to national numbers. This election is going to come down to the state numbers. There are a couple new national polls, one from Marist that has Harris up five, one from Marquette that has them in a tie. But in the state polling, Donald Trump has made some fairly significant gains. Here are the last state polling numbers from Michigan. Trump plus two, plus two, plus one, minus two, plus four, tie, plus two, plus one.

Those are all the latest polls from Michigan. Check out Pennsylvania. Trump, plus three, plus one, minus two, plus two, plus one, plus one, minus three, plus three. Now, again, there's no way to tell. One of these polls could be right. All the rest could be wrong. But in the majority of the polls in these swing states, Donald Trump is currently winning. That is a problem, obviously, for Kamala Harris, and she's lagging with particular crowds.

She's obviously lagging with Pennsylvania Catholics, for example. It was very weird back in the debate that she did with Donald Trump. There was one point where she started citing Donald Trump and NATO as a reason for Pennsylvania's Polish population to vote for her, as though Donald Trump and his talk about making members of NATO pay their fair share, as though that was going to get Pennsylvania Polish constituents out to the polls. That, of course, is silly. That is cutting directly against another problem. Poles tend to be Catholic.

Pennsylvania polls tend to be Catholics. Kamala Harris has a huge problem with Catholics, but you know what's a big problem for you? Going online without actually protecting your online activity.

As William McGurn writes in the Wall Street Journal today, it's not just gaffes that could hurt the vice president in the Keystone State. Throughout her career as a public official, Kamala Harris has long used government power to try to coerce people of faith to violate their consciences, especially regarding abortion and gender ideology, according to Kristen Wagoner, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom, which protects religious liberty.

As California's AG, she signed several front of the court briefs opposing religious exemptions for private employers like Hobby Lobby and religious nonprofits like Little Sisters of the Poor. She said she was proud of co-sponsored California's Reproductive Fact Act, which compelled pro-life pregnancy centers to display notices about where women could get an abortion. And then, of course, you'll recall that there was one point where she grilled abortion.

A judicial nominee named Brian Buescher about his membership in the Knights of Columbus, suggesting that the Knights of Columbus, which is a Catholic men's fraternal organization, is effectively some sort of KKK like organization. She's got real problems with the religious people. And that is not letting up, given the fact that you now have people like Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, doing lesbian knockoffs of communion with author and influencer Liz Plank.

On Friday, the Michigan Catholic Conference, the church's lobbying arm in the state, published a statement to express profound disappointment and offense taken at the actions in the video. Now, again, these are big boo-boos that are happening from the Kamala Harris campaign over and over and over. And of course, she is now being relegated to pitching for black men, which is a very weird thing for a black candidate for higher office to have to do in the United States two and a half weeks from an election.

If Kamala Harris is relegated to defending her ground with black men in the United States two and a half weeks from an election, that is bad news for her. And again, the way that she's doing that is truly paternalistic and ridiculous. And if a white person did, it would be perceived pretty obviously as racist. She's basically saying to black men, I'm going to throw money and weed at you. Those are her proposals. She wants $20,000 in forgivable government loans for one million minorities to start businesses.

Virtually all of those, of course, will immediately be forgiven. And she's directing the minorities, which means that it's unconstitutional. This is not the first time that Democrats have tried to do this. In March 2021, they pushed a loan forgiveness program in the March 2021 COVID bill for socially disadvantaged farmers who are defined as those who are Black, American Indian, Hispanic, Asian, and Pacific Islander.

Several judges enjoined the program. Also, she says she wants to legalize pot. So the lady who's famous for locking people up for pot in California is so famous that Tulsi Gabbard wrecked her on a debate stage over it. Now she says she wants to legalize marijuana and help minorities get into the drug business. Very exciting stuff.

Now, again, she has shifted her position pretty wildly on pot. Again, when she was AG, she was prosecuting it like nobody's business. In 2019, she said it should be legalized because it gives a lot of people joy. So the kind of joy that we should mention that Kamala Harris is about is spending your money and marijuana.

Man, this is not a good campaign. It just is not. And so now, as we've been saying for a while, they've been forced into desperation plays. Their latest desperation play is being pushed by Matt Drudge over a Drudge report. So Matt Drudge has basically become a stenographer and chief narrative advisor for the Democratic Party at this point. Not sure what happened to Matt. There's a point when Drudge report was quite interesting. It's always very well done and well organized, but he has become a full-time cheerleader for Kamala Harris. Not sure what Donald Trump did to piss him off, but

He's the one who's driving the Democratic narrative every day. Today, the headline over Drudge Report is a picture of Trump and it just says American psycho. And it is a link to Matt Labish's column in which he labels Trump as such. Again, the narrative that they're trying to build now is that Trump is crazy. If you're relegated to Trump is crazy.

You're toast. I'm sorry. That is not a dog that is going to hunt in this. Everyone who thinks Trump is crazy is already voting against him. There are zero moderates in the country who are thinking about voting for Trump, who are willing to buy that Trump is just so full scale insane he can't be president. Again, once you, we have already established a baseline of people in the United States who believe that Donald Trump under no circumstances can be president of the United States. That baseline is somewhere between 46 and 48%.

That's what Kamala Harris' voting base is right now. It is all people who say that there's a barrier to entry for Donald Trump getting in and that he has the character that is unfit to be president of the United States. That argument's been made one million times. And guess what? It is not going to get Kamala Harris over the hump. If she's having to go back to arguments that appeal chiefly to people who are already voting for her, that's a real problem. So, for example...

The Kamala Harris campaign tried to retail a lie that Donald Trump froze on stage the other day. They're basically trying with Trump a strategy that Republicans successfully used on Joe Biden. It worked with Joe Biden because it was true of Joe Biden. And the media covered up Joe Biden's senility for three and a half years. It is not going to work with Donald Trump. So there is an attempt to turn Donald Trump into a febrile asylum escapee.

I spent time personally with Donald Trump last week. We were in New York together on the show. Donald Trump is not senile like Joe Biden is senile. Donald Trump is not insane. Donald Trump is not failing mentally. This attempt to turn Donald Trump

of October 16th, 2024 into Joe Biden of July 2024 is ridiculous. Even ABC News is like, this is not going to play. There was an attempt by the Kamala online team to say that Trump froze up during a rally. Even ABC News is like, this is not true.

But then, 30 minutes in, two attendees suffered medical emergencies. A doctor, please. Doctor. The incidents shifted the mood, prompting Trump to cut the questions short and instead play some of his favorite music. How about this? We'll play YMCA and we'll go home. Trump kept DJing and most of his supporters stayed for another 30 minutes of his playlists.

Well, in certain quarters of social media, people had a field day with that. And I guess on the screens, it might have looked quite strange. Inside that hall, however, people were having a good time. What can I tell you? It did not seem out of the ordinary. It seemed almost intimate. And at the end, Trump did something he very rarely does. He came down off the stage and mingled with his supporters. He was signing autographs and shaking hands and the like.

Okay, so the left tried to play that as Donald Trump being insane. Instead, it was Donald Trump just being Donald Trump. Trump, by the way, is having a good time on the campaign trail. Kamala Harris is not. A good indicator of who's winning in a race is who's actually having fun on the campaign trail. Well, the fact that Donald Trump seems to have the momentum in this race is a very good thing for the world. That's particularly true in the Middle East, where Israel is still fighting an ongoing war against multiple terrorist groups.

October 7th marked the one-year anniversary of the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. 1,200 Israelis were murdered. Over 250 were taken hostage. The war in Israel continues to rage on today. Missiles are flying. Tensions are high. Our allies are under attack. It seems like every time you turn on the news, there's another crisis unfolding in the region. Israel and its people are facing attacks from enemies on all sides who want its destruction. But there's hope. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground, providing food, shelter, and safety to those in need during this crisis.

Since the war started, thousands of reservists, everyday Israeli citizens, have left their families to serve their country. Soldiers have been injured. Their families need our support. Their gift of $45 today helps the fellowship provide food and other necessities to these families to help them survive. Here's what I need you to do right now. Go to benforthefellowship.org. That's benforthefellowship.org to make a gift today. In the face of these many threats,

The fellowship's ongoing work providing security to Israelis has never been more important. Remember, that's benforthefellowship.org. I know people on the ground who've been helped by the fellowship. Go check them out right now. benforthefellowship.org. God bless.

However, is this stopping people like, for example, David Chalian from claiming that Donald Trump is demented, that he has dementia because he's dancing? Is David Chalian the political director at CNN?

Let's be clear. That's not normal behavior for a candidate, right? Like we don't we've not seen that. And I think you can find people that have covered Donald Trump, like have gone to more than 100 Donald Trump rallies. They've never seen that. So we should just separate that out that, you know, here we are three weeks out from an election and he's doing something that he's never done before. And that is clearly different than what presidential candidates normally do. What's going on with Donald Trump that he is.

feeling himself differently in public or canceling interviews. Which he did today. Yeah, exactly. So he is not... Okay. No, no, no. We don't know that. But he is not sort of following some programmatic script here. He seems to be...

having some, you know, different sensibility about what it is he wants to do. It reminds me when he was talking about how he does the weave when he's so incoherent and he comes up with a name to sort of label what that is when he's totally incoherent. And I just think that, again, I don't know. We have no idea if he's OK or not because he doesn't release his medical records. Yeah, right. I don't think he's OK. Yeah.

I don't think he's okay. So this is where they're going. They're going to, Donald Trump is not okay. Donald Trump is exactly the same as he was 10 years ago. He is. You can see it on stage. You can see it when he talks. He's a little slower because he's now closer to 80 than he is to 70.

But I'm sorry, him doing like this little impromptu dance party, if that's the best you got, which is that Donald Trump is a also there are two mutually exclusive arguments that are being made right now. One is that Donald Trump is a deep Hitlerian threat to the republic, which requires, you know, a little bit of mental aptitude. And the other is Donald Trump has completely lost his mind and he's dancing around on stage to YMCA. And so clearly he can't be president. You got to pick one of these arguments. You can't have both of them. The the.

Best expositor of the Donald Trump has dementia argument is former Democratic congressman from New York, Max Rose, who's openly claiming now that Donald Trump has dementia. By the way, it is very funny that the entire Democratic Party is now trying to make the case that Donald Trump has dementia when the current president of the United States that you are leaving in place as president of the United States clearly has dementia. This is crazy towns. Here's Max Rose doing his shtick.

You have to be demented to stand on stage and start dancing when it's a town hall. I mean, that we have two sides of Donald Trump right now. One, we have just this grave threat to all that we hold dear, our Constitution, our democracy.

On the same hand, I would say the principal driving force of his incompetency is the fact that he is not all there. He's a couple of fries short of a Happy Meal at this point. And that's why he's standing up there dancing to the YMCA. He can barely do the YMCA if you actually check out the video. And so...

This is a story in a video. You don't even actually have to listen to his words. And it's just imperative at this point that the campaign pushes those two separate narratives, grave threat and also just supremely incompetent and entering the final stages of his life. You know, I feel bad for his family right now. I know so many people have to deal with their parents as they've gone through stages of dementia. And that's clearly what they are on the precipice of having to deal with now. But he certainly doesn't.

should go nowhere near the Oval Office. Okay, you can't make both those arguments at once. You can't make the argument that he is senile. He's so senile. He's so crazy. He's just out of it all day long. Also, he's Hitler. That argument does not hunt. And also, the current president of the United States who you are bringing out on the campaign trail is actually suffering from dementia and every single human being on earth knows it, including the Democrats.

Here was Joe Biden stumping for Kamala Harris yesterday at the same time they're trying to make the claim that Donald Trump has lost it. They're trotting out Joe Biden as though everything is totally normal, even though they legitimately took away his nomination and gave it to a lady who had earned zero votes ever in a primary. You want to talk about demented? This is demented. She beat Trump so badly in the debate, he's scared to death to beat her again. That's a fact. Tough guy, right? Tough guy.

In fact, Jack, he's a he should beat him so bad he's scared to beat her again. I don't even know who. Yes, guys, tell me more about dementia and how you identify it. Please, Dr. Rose, explain to me how you get from Donald Trump dancing on stage at a rally with a bunch of his supporters that that's demented. But then Joe Biden is totally fine and you should leave him as president.

amazing, amazing stuff. As we say, Kamala Harris is having to go to some risky places and to some less risky places. So she is going to do Brett Baer's show tonight. It'll be fascinating to see what happens when she's asked some actual tough questions and the network that airs it doesn't decide to cut her and prevent her from speaking in her mangled, circuitous sentences. She also is going on some friendly. So she went on Charlemagne at the God yesterday.

And Charlemagne, the God, whose actual real name is Leonard, by the way. I should just point that out because, you know, anytime you title yourself Charlemagne, the God, I feel like we should we should have to mention your actual real name. Anytime you compare yourself to God or a God, I feel like it's an obligation to give your birth name as well. In any case, Charlemagne, the God had on Kamala Harris and Kamala Harris had many things to say, all of them pandering. At one point, she suggested that she would look into racial reparations. Remember, folks, she's a moderate. Here we go.

So to your point, yes, I am running to be a president for all Americans. That being said, I do have clear eyes about the disparities that exist and the context in which they exist, meaning history, to your point.

So my agenda, well, first of all, on the point of reparations, it has to be studied. There's no question about that. And I've been very clear about that position. Okay, so how are you feeling about racial reparations, America? You've got $35 trillion in national debt. There's legitimately no way to actually enact racial reparations. There's no way even to separate out the strains of what has been caused in terms of disparity by, for example, slavery, which ended in the United States in 1865 at the end of the Civil War, effectively.

There's no way to separate. I mean, I've checked a calendar that's 160 years ago. How exactly are you going to separate even the strains of Jim Crow out? That ended in 1965, which is now 60 years ago. How are you going to separate that out from the disparities that currently exist in terms of, say, wealth and income earnings? How are you going to do that? She has no plan for that. It's all just pandering nonsense, but it's radical and racial pandering nonsense. She then adds that, you know, if you doubt me, I've always been in favor of these sort of racial giveaways.

What would you say to the people that would consider the timing of this proposal as political timing? And how would you speak to the sentiment that support for black men is only sought out during election cycles and feels that building trust requires consistent engagement and genuine investment into the community outside of election periods and political benefits for politicians?

and may view that some people in the Democrat Party use black Americans to play identity politics. So, first of all, thank you for your question and for being here. I've been in this race about 70 days. You can look at all my work before those 70 days to know that this what I'm talking about right now is not new and is not for the sake of winning this election.

Um, wait, you were always calling for $20,000 giveaways to black business owners as well as legalizing of marijuana for the sake of black men. That's weird because I remember a whole part of your career where none of that was true. But if, as she says, her values have never changed, then you should probably take her word when it comes to things like racial separatism and racial giveaways.

Meanwhile, Kamala is making the point she's actually a caller called in to Charlemagne and the God and suggested that Donald Trump might put minorities in jail, just like randomly jail people based on skin color. Here is Kamala Harris, who's most famous for locking up a lot of black men in California, actually as a G.

Could you please respond to Trump's claim that he's going to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to round up immigrants if he wins the election? This law was last used to put Asian Americans in internment camps during World War II. And I have a sneaking suspicion that if Trump wins, he's gonna use this law to put anyone that doesn't look white in camps and I'm scared.

Yeah. So you've hit on a really important point and expressed it, I think, so well, which is he is achieving his intended effect to make you scared. He is running full time on a campaign that is about instilling fear, not about hope, not about optimism, not about the future, but about fear. And so this is yet another example.

Folks, he's about instilling fear. Also, if you're not white in the United States, he might lock you up in an internment camp. Don't worry, he's the one running on fear, says Kamala Harris. She also spent some time denying that she and Joe Biden were in any way responsible for opening the border wide in the United States. Anywhere from six and a half million to 11 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States since Kamala Harris took office as vice president.

But doesn't the Biden administration have to take some blame for the border, though? A lot of the blame? Because, I mean, the first three years, y'all did get a lot of things wrong with the border. Charlemagne, within hours of being inaugurated, the first bill we passed before we did the Inflation Reduction Act, before we did the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, before we did the Safer Communities Act to deal with gun violence, first thing we dropped was a bill to fix the broken immigration system.

Actually, that bill basically just amnestied everybody in the country illegally. So again, she's out there. She's pandering. She's doing the routine. Is it having any real impact? It is hard to see that in the states that matter. And that presumably is why she's doing Brett Baier tonight. That's it. She's making desperation moves now. When she talks about going on Joe Rogan or when she talks about doing Brett Baier on Fox News,

What she is basically saying is I don't have the votes in my pocket that I need. She's not taking risk for the sake of taking risk. She's the most risk averse politician in modern American history. This is a lady who hid from every media question for six weeks. We had a running calendar on this show of her not being asked any single serious question. The reason that she is now exposing herself to this

opposing fire is because she knows that she's in trouble in this election. Well, Kamala Harris apparently believes that it's crucial in the late stages of this election cycle to reach out to black men. That is a bad sign for her. But let's talk about something crucial for you. Sleep. You know, the thing you're probably not getting enough of because you're up all night worrying about the state of the world.

Now, before we get to the Trump versus the Harris campaign on the economy, there is a rather large piece of breaking news.

So you've been told by the legacy media, the crime is down, right? The FBI, they say the crime is down. And a lot of people across the country are going, whoa, hold up a second. If crime is down, why did somebody break into my car last week?

You know, anecdotal evidence is not actual statistical evidence. What happened to you in your life may not be representative of what happened to the rest of Americans. Well, now it turns out it kind of is representative of what happened to the rest of Americans. According to John Law, writing for Real Clear Investigations, when the FBI originally released the final crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation's violent crime rate fell by 2.1%.

This quickly became and remains a Democratic talking point to counter Donald Trump's claims of soaring crime. But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022. By 4.5%, the new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.

The Bureau has made no mention of these revisions in its September 2024 press release. The RCI discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the FBI website that states, quote, the 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS 2023. But there's no mention the numbers increased. One only sees the change by downloading the FBI's new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year. After the FBI released that new crime data in September, a USA Today headline read, violent crime dropped for third straight year in 2023, including murder and rape.

It's been over three weeks since the FBI released the revised data. The Bureau's lack of acknowledgement or explanation about the significant change should concern researchers. I've checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022, says Carl Moody, professor at the College of William and Mary. There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015. From 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it hard to trust the FBI data.

The FBI did not respond to RCI's repeated requests for comment. The actual changes in crimes are extensive. The updated data for 2022 report there were 80,000 more violent crimes than in 2021. There were an additional 1,699 murders, 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies, and 37,091 aggravated assaults. So how exactly are you supposed to believe their 2023 numbers when they were lying about their 2022 numbers by leaps and bounds?

Without that increase, the drop in violent crime in 2023 would have been less than half as large, only 1.6% instead of the reported drop of 3.5%. Also, the FBI crime data relies on reported crimes. Most crimes go unreported, with only about 45% of violent crimes and 30% of property crimes brought to the police's attention. Since the FBI only tracks reported incidents and the gap is so large, researchers argue that when the media discuss crime rates based on FBI data, they should clarify it reflects reported crime, not give the impression that total crime is changing.

So it turns out that the FBI basically buried its numbers and then didn't change the public facing of the numbers. And that's wild. That is wild. So violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5% after suggesting the FBI did that it had fallen by 2.1%. That is a spread of 6.6%. What? So once more, you want to undermine trust in our institutions. This is an amazing way to do that for sure.

And it is totally incredible because, again, the Biden-Harris administration has been reliant on those FBI statistics to proclaim that despite their soft on crime policies, despite seeking consent decrees with every police department in the country and hampering the police's ability to do their job, the crime somehow has been plummeting. All this is part and parcel of a bad left wing take on crime in which the disconnect between the people who cover crime or the people who deal with crime and the victims of the crime is extraordinary.

So, for example, amazing clip on CNN last night. So last night, Ryan Giderski, who does a wonderful job, he was on CNN and he was talking about violent crime in the United States. And he mentioned the so-called Ferguson effect. That is a term that was coined by Heather McDonald in the aftermath of the 2014 justifiable killing of Michael Brown, which half the Democratic Party, including Kamala Harris, declared effectively an extrajudicial murder by an officer.

The effect of Ferguson and the Michael Brown shooting was that cops stopped doing their job. Cops across the country stopped policing. You need a proactive police force to actually intervene to stop crime. You need them doing things like stop and frisk in high crime areas. You need the police ready to engage with suspects.

And instead, after Ferguson, because of the possibility that if you do your job, you're going to be dragged through a raging mob in media. Many officers were like, no, I'm not doing that anymore. And so the crime rates skyrocketed. The murder rate skyrocketed.

Ryan Godersky mentions this on CNN, and the entire CNN panel seems bewildered by this reality, despite the fact there was a massive increase in crime. You had a continuous drop in crime in the United States from 1994 all the way through 2014, and then it dramatically reversed itself in the 2014, 2015, 2016 period, and then it spiked again in 2020, 2021.

And so when Grodersky mentions the Ferguson effect or the Floyd effect, he is, of course, correct. But CNN, whose job it is to cover these things, is bewildered. They have no idea what he's talking about. They literally claim that he's making it up. There are the post-George Floyd riots resulted in excess of over 15,000 black male deaths in this country. How? How?

How? The surge of violent crime. It was like Ferguson. The Ferguson effect and the Floyd effect. You've got to explain to me how George Floyd's death resulted in 15 years. What happens is after the Ferguson riot and after the Floyd riot, policemen, in fear of their jobs many times and political coverage, pulled back from their jobs, resulting in an

increase level of homicide. Hold on. Hold on. We've got to stop you there because you're literally making a connection out of your own conjecture. You cannot just do that. It's a real thing. Look up the Ferguson effect. Look up the Floyd effect. It is a real term. It's a real term. I didn't make this up. You cannot just invent a connection between two things just because you want that connection to be there. It's a little like a name. It's a real thing. You can look it up. It doesn't mean it's right.

It doesn't mean it's right. I mean, this is CNN. Do you trust your media? Do you trust the FBI's statistics at this point? It's very difficult to figure out who the hell to trust, given the fact that everyone seems to be lying a lot of the time or at least willfully ignorant about things a huge percentage of the time. So that crime talking point, I certainly hope that Kamala Harris is asked about that by Brett Baier on Fox News tonight. I'd love to hear her explain their amazing record on crime when the FBI is revising their violent crime statistics up.

in 2022. Really well done there, FBI, as always doing an amazing job. Meanwhile, the difference between the lions and the scavengers on the economic front continues to be quite wide. I've talked about this model of thinking before. The lion is the person who wishes to be productive in American society, who utilizes private property and free markets in order to innovate and make life better for themselves and for everyone around them. And the scavengers are people who seek to tear down the system because they just believe that inequality of outcome is representative of a defect in the system.

I have never seen, I think, quite this clear a contrast between the two parties on this matter as this year. Tim Walz, who is the weirdo vice presidential candidate that Kamala Harris picked in lieu of the popular Pennsylvania governor because can't pick a Jew. Well, he did a an event in Volant, Pennsylvania yesterday for rural voters, and he showed up looking like a stereotypical rural guys wearing flannel and a hat, you know, like one of the boys.

when he's not making jazz hands at them. And there he explained, cogently, his economic program, which amounts to, me big stupid man no understand venture capital. And Senator Vance, he became a media darling. He wrote a book about the place he grew up, but the premise was, was trashing that place where he grew up, rather than lifting it up. This guy's a venture capitalist cosplaying like he's a cowboy or something. I don't even know what a venture capitalist does most of the time.

Okay, so there are so many things here. One, somebody who's a success story from rural Appalachia should be cheered for that. Tim Walz has a habit of tearing that down. It's the politics of envy. J.D. Vance made something of himself that didn't involve being a public school teacher and then a career government bureaucrat, which is what Tim Walz is. But beyond that, that latest statement, I don't understand what a venture capitalist does. Then you shouldn't be the vice president of the United States.

I would say that actually it's quite important to understand what a venture capitalist does in the United States. If you wish to be at the top of the regulatory pyramid in the United States, for those who don't know, a venture capitalist is a person who invests in startup high-risk companies for a percentage of the company in order to generate the original capital necessary to start a company. It's what a venture capitalist does. They look at a series of possible investments. They analyze whether they think those investments are going to be good or not, and then they put money into companies.

That's pretty damned important. If you say that you support startup businesses, venture capitalists are really, really important to that process. But he doesn't understand what they do. Of course he doesn't. He doesn't own real estate. He doesn't own stock. This doof took a government salary and apparently shoved it in his mattress like a financial genius. And now he wants to run the American economy? Tim Walz? It's absolutely unbelievable that a person with this level of economic incoherence has somehow achieved the near pinnacle of American power. This is a country that it was...

founded effectively as a commercial republic. And now we have morons who don't understand what a venture capitalist does running for vice president of the United States. Hats off to Tim Walz, man, the Charlie Brown of our era.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump went into an unfriendly space. So it is funny. The entire left wing media are claiming that Donald Trump is avoiding unfriendly interviews. He's only doing shows like this one where obviously I'm a supporter of President Trump. Not true. So yesterday he went to Bloomberg and he did a pretty, I'd say, adversarial interview with the Bloomberg interviewer. The Bloomberg editor in chief actually began by saying, you know, Kamala Harris was invited and she declined.

Just for the record and for those people watching on television, the Economic Club of Chicago and Bloomberg both invited Vice President Harris to a similar interview about her economic plans. She has declined so far. There is a shocker. John Micklethwaite is the name of the editor in chief of Bloomberg News. He really does not like Donald Trump.

He was very much against Donald Trump's proposals on, say, illegal immigration and on tariff policy. So here was Donald Trump explaining his immigration policy in a rather unfriendly environment. I want a lot of people to come into our country, but I want them to come in legally. I don't want to have... But that means you will have to deport. You know, you are talking about deporting 11 million people. That is a lot of people to take out.

It came out last week that 425,000 people are horrible criminals at the highest level, but it came out that 13,099 were let in during their administration. They tried to say longer, wrong.

During the over the last three and a half years, 13000 plus people came in murderers. They're in jail for murder. Some were having the death penalty. They were all released into our country. Those people have to be returned. We can't live with thousands of murderers. By the way, this is the person that Democrats are suggesting is senile because he danced at a rally. And then Donald Trump went after the Federal Reserve.

And frankly, I found this amusing since I find the Federal Reserve to more generally be a negative to useless institution in American life since I prefer a gold standard. In any case, here was President Trump going after the Federal Reserve. I think it's the greatest job in government. You show up to the office once a month and you say, let's see, flip a coin.

And everybody talks about you like you're a god. Oh, what will he do? I mean, before, the guy used to walk into my office, he was like begging, he was fine. You did talk about removing him once. I did because he was keeping the rates too high.

OK, so again, it is very funny how it is true that many of the economists, they treat the Federal Reserve as though it's some sort of Roman bestial virgin who is going to read the auspices and explain exactly how the economy ought to work. Trump is not having any of that. He was asked about his policy. Many economists have suggested it will be inflationary. Now, let's be clear about this. A large scale tariff across the board in the United States would inflate prices.

Because that's what tariffs do. What tariffs do is they bar foreign competition or tax foreign competition such that the prices in the United States to consumers rise. That is the natural effect of a tariff. There is no way around that.

Whether that leads to the kind of inflation that Kamala Harris is talking about, that she's created with loose fiscal policy, blowing trillions of dollars into the economy. If the definition of inflation is too many dollars following too little product, tariffs create too little product by limiting competition. As a general rule, this is not totally anti-tariff. Some tariffs are necessary for security purposes. But what tariffs do is they limit the availability of product with the same number of dollars.

That will have some inflationary effect. Will it have a massive inflationary effect? Probably not. It'll have some, but not massive. You know what has a massive inflationary effect? Spending trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars and then pumping money into the economy via the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve. That's the point that Donald Trump was making about his inflation.

People are betting that your policies are going to drive up debt, they're going to drive up inflation, so they're going to drive up inflation rate, interest rates. Are the investors wrong? Yeah, I had four years no inflation.

I had four years no inflation. That was when you had much. I had four years. It's better than that. And Biden, who has no idea where the hell he is, okay? Biden went two years with no inflation because he inherited from me. And then they started spending money like drunken sailors. Again, what Trump is saying here

is that you should trust his record and not always what he says, which, by the way, I think is a pretty good guide to Donald Trump as a politician. The reason that I'm voting for him and supporting him is because I liked what he did in his first term. Do I think that he's going to do everything he says he's going to do? I think that Donald Trump has the unilateral capacity as president of the United States to simply tariff at 10 percent every product coming from abroad. No, I don't. I don't see what authority he has as the executive branch leader to do that. You'd actually need an act of Congress to do some of those things.

What I do know is that Donald Trump does not. Donald Trump is extremely pragmatic about the economy. You know what he doesn't want? Inflation and higher prices. And if he tries something that doesn't work, you know, he's going to reverse it because that's who Donald Trump is. OK, in just a moment, we are going to get to the sad fate of Joe Biden. It is amazing. Nancy Pelosi, who's older than Joe Biden, shoved him out the door. And now she's saying, I haven't even talked to him lately. We'll get into that momentarily.
