I was 22 years old. I was not yet married. And now just think back over the past 20 years, wife, five kids, big business, all of it. What? 20 years of long time, simply safe is now celebrating 20 years. Again, most companies don't make it that long unless they're actually solving a real problem. When you're picking a security system for your home, what you're looking for is peace of mind. The goal is not to obsess over your security. The goal is to never have to think about it again. And that's what I like about simply safe. Most home security systems are designed for after something goes wrong. After the window breaks, after someone gets inside, after your phone buzzes, simply safe's approach is different. It's designed to help stop a break in before it happens. They're AI powered outdoor cameras to text suspicious activity around your home. Alert live US-based agents. Those agents can actually speak through the camera to scare off trespassers and if necessary, request 911 dispatch. Prevention beats reaction. Simply safe has been protecting your world for 20 years.

New York is now led by people who would have sided with the terrorists. The mayor of New York City, Zorn Mamdani, thinks the real victims of 911 were his auntie who had to experience evil American Islamophobia and also millions of Muslims globally, who are the true victims of American foreign policy. The governor of New York is a suicidally empathetic white lady who dons he job in honor of Islam.

This is apparently New York's electorate now. Radical Muslims and leftists who support them, we'll get to all that in a moment. Plus, professional provocateur, myleonapolis gets deported. Why America's worst enemies are not coincidentally in favor of massive government redistributionism and a dirty little secret. America is currently winning and winning bigly in Iran. This is the Ben Shapiro show. Now time is quite the thing. It's kind of amazing to think about the fact that 911 is now 25 years ago. An entire generation of humans was not born when 911 happened. And in that forgetfulness, we tend to imbibe from the well of stupidity and suicidal ideation. So, Cathy Hocal had herself a weekend. Over the weekend, she did a couple of things. Well, first, she brought dance back to New York City and she was in the middle of the night. Well, first, she brought dance back to New York City with Kevin Bacon. So, Cathy Hocal is the New York governor who inherited her position when Andrew Cuomo killed all the old people and grabbed a bunch of ass. And now she is the governor of New York.

And she has been relegated to getting rid of regulations in New York that apparently banned dancing. And she brought Kevin Bacon along to explain how. New York, did you know that for years, dancing was banned in many bars and nightclubs? Banned. You mean it was illegal to dance? That's right, Kevin Bacon. If I was to come into this club and wanted to say salsa? Nada. Macarena? Macanono. Whip? Nane, the state used to demand to get a license to allow dancing, but we tossed that rule out. What do you say to that, Kevin? I say, let's dance. And then the video of Kevin Bacon. We couldn't afford the rights to the original foot music, so what happened? I mean, they couldn't afford the rights to the original footless music because the state of New York is essentially bankrupt at this point. OK, why do I bring up Cathy Hocal and the bringing back of the dance? Because Cathy Hocal, you know, she is a hard core feminist.

She's standing for the ladies. She's standing against a patriarchy that was stripped women of their rights. She's bringing dance back to New York City, back in 2021. You may recall that she gave a speech in Albany, in which she talked about how we need to get abortion bands off of women's bodies. Women's bodies need to be free. This can't be the handmaid's tale. I just got in from Seneca Falls. Why did I go to Seneca Falls? Well, first of all, they're rallying us before years. OK, so that's not the first thing. I went there because I needed to channel the spirit of those brave, audacious women who 173 years ago demanded the rights to control their own bodies. They retired of being the property of men. They stood up. They fought. And many of them did not live long enough to see the rights that they believed and fought for in Seneca Falls at that gathering.

But we are all beneficiaries of that because they had courage and stood up. Well, unfortunately, according to our friends and sponsors over at CalShi, Kathy Hogle is basically certain to win re-elect because a New Yorker's, what are you doing? What are you doing? 94% shot of winning re-elect in New York. Why? Why New Yorkers? I mean, you've brought this upon yourself. This is your fault. Well, why is this relevant? Because over the weekend, Governor Kathy Hogle, she decided that she was going to show up and wear a key shop. Like, full on where the key shop. Now again, there are lots of religious places all over planet earth where women cover their hair out of respect. That is not the same thing as full on putting the garb on. We've talked about this before because a bunch of Democratic politicians have been doing this. AOC did this. She full on Don the key shop. And that is different from Nancy Pelosi when she visited Syria, for example, putting a scarf over her hair or women who decided to cover their hair when they go into St. Peter's Basilica, or if they decided to go to the Western wall or something. When you decide to full on Don, the garb,

that in the vast majority of planet earth is mandatory for Muslim women and is punishable by law. You are making a statement. You are saying something. Here's Governor Kathy Hogle wearing the key shop. And I want to thank the sectionist of the Eastern obeling to thank him for welcoming the Department of Family in different men and all the other second of the department's organization. OK, this is not great. It is not great because it turns out that, again, a key shop globally speaking. There's a reason it's banned in France. The reason that key shop globally speaking is controversial is because it is typically a form of compulsion on women. And the fact that the governor of New York is not just covering her hair out of respect. She's full on Donning the garb says something. It is a unique thing that is now being said by an enormous percentage of Democratic governance and leadership. And that thing is that we are going to now submit to the rules.

That is the idea here. It is. And again, that is different from somebody putting a doily on their head when they go into a Catholic mass or somebody even going to a synagogue and putting on a Yamaha, which by the way, I'm just telling all politicians. As an orthodox Jew, you don't have to put on a Yamaha to walk into a Jewish synagogue. The only people who actually ask you to do that are reform Jews who typically don't wear a Yamaha in the first place. People like me who wear it full-time, I'm just telling you, you don't have to do it. There's no obligation to, anyway, this is all part and parcel of a leftist willingness to not only glaze Islam, but also to submit to it, and to start repeating all the talking points of it. And this has become not just a New York issue, as we'll talk about in a second, but it is also a globalized issue. Canada's CBC News, for example, has now decided to cover 9-11 by not calling it a terrorist attack. According to the Daily Wire, in preparation for the 25th anniversary of 9-11, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sent a memo

to its staff with instructions on how to refer to the 2001 terrorist attacks, specifically, not to call the events terrorist attacks, do not refer to September 11 attacks as terrorist attacks the memo read. The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C. Pennsylvania and Manhattan. The World Trade Center was destroyed. That memo was attributed to one awesome Basra, the Senior Director of Journalistic Standards and Public Trust at CBC News. And this is what the West has done to itself. The West has decided that it is guilty, the West deserves what happened to it, and that people have to be important on mass because the West is guilty. Coming up, a video journalist goes to New York and the site is not pretty. You know what else is not pretty? Your wireless bill, you're just paying too much money. And I don't know why you're sticking with it, frankly, because listen, people abandons in an airline after one delayed flight or avoid a restaurant after a bad meal, but your wireless company has been with them for 15 years, mainly because it's at pain in the butt to switch, right? But this is why I've been telling you about PureTalk. In a recent industry survey, PureTalk was the only wireless company

to receive five stars in every single category. Coverage, support, value, data. Right now, PureTalk is offering unlimited data for just 15 bucks a month for your first three months. After that, unlimited starts as low as 3499 a month with no contract. So maybe 15 years is long enough. Go to puretalk.com slash appear. I'll make the switch to my favorite wireless company, PureTalk. There is a better wireless choice out there. At just 15 bucks a month for your first three months, now would be an excellent time to choose PureTalk again at is puretalk.com slash appear. PureTalk.com slash appear. I've been using PureTalk for years. The coverage is great. I'm spending less money and by the way, the company actually shares my values. So that's a great bargain.

It doesn't eliminate the desire to stay in bed, but at least I'm not negotiating with myself while I'm looking for socks. A little preparation makes the next decision a lot easier. But September coming up, there's something more consequential to check off your list. Life insurance is finding that right coverage is easy to postpone. How much do you need, which company?

What do all those terms mean? And this is where policy genius comes in. It's a free online insurance marketplace where you can compare quotes from some of America's top insurers side by side.

Nate Friedman, the video journalist went to New York and he went to the East Village, a very heavily Muslim part of New York City. And things got awkward because it turns out that full scale streets have been taken over by Islamic prayer by people who are leaving bikes in the streets,

not getting parking tickets. Apparently some of the police officers for the traffic department, they're barely speaking English and are essentially allowing people to get away with the violation of law. Here's Nate Friedman reporting from New York City. Are you gonna give these bicycles tickets? No, because they have no number. They have no number. Oh, so they only get ticketed if they have a plate. So my time is short, I pray at 10. My prayer time? Oh, you have prayer time now. Yeah, thank you. Oh, wait, hold on, let's talk about that for a moment. So basically, are you not able to give tickets out right now because you have to go pray? Is that what's going on? Is that what's happening? New York City plate, we issued that ticket. Yes. We can't. There would be no incentive to put a plate then, but if you want to get ticketed. This is a traffic officer from New York. He can barely speak English and he has prayer time and he can't give tickets to the bikes because in a number of delivery people in New York City are Muslim, he won't give tickets to the bikes that don't have plates.

So they decided, by the way, to just put fake plates on the bikes or to cover the plates with stickers from car companies for example. Here was Nate Friedman asking one of the men in this area, a Muslim man in the area about Sharia law. Now the key to this clip is not the Muslim man who wants Sharia law in New York City. The key is the white lady who yells at Nate Friedman for asking the question as she walks by. There's a good Muslim to follow Sharia. Okay, so as we grow in Muslim population in New York, because as you know, Muslim people are having babies much more than Christians, right? Okay, so do you believe New York will become Islamic soon? You know this is the last time Muslim people... Okay, would you like to speak? Okay, there's a white lady who just walks by and screams at him, go after yourself for asking about all of this. Okay, so that is the thing, that's the thing. 84% of women aged to 18 to 29 in New York City voted for Zorn Mamdani, 84%.

And then they released videos like this from the night of Mamdani's victory, cheering Sharia law, which none of them would want to abide by. Because I'll tell you what Sharia law is not in favor of literally anything these women want to do. Sharia law starts now. Absolutely. So, Zoran Mamdani is Islamic caliphates or brother in Islam, Islamic caliphate of New York. Starts today, baby. I mean, again, this is insane. We've seen shades of this, by the way, in other countries. In 1979, there were a bunch of feminists who protested against the Shah and ended up bringing Homanian to themselves. So there's that. Okay, but why are American women in liberal areas in particular buying into all of this? Why do you have Kathy Hokel? Who again, is a Lib Fem buying into, I've got a Don Hijab. Why? Well, number one, a lot of these women have been taught. The tolerance is the greatest virtue, perhaps the only virtue that if you are, quote unquote, intolerant by noticing cultural differences, by pointing out that Islam

on a global scale is not very often a progressive force. It typically is a repressive force, but that is a form of intolerance. So, F yourself, right? Go F you. They've also been taught that their civilization is uniquely intolerant, which means sexist, and terrible, and evil, and horrible. So, they will go out and protest in Handmaid's Tale Outfits. The appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, they will put on the Margaret Atwood costumes, the red costumes. They cover their whole body, the body shaming and all the rest of it, to protest Brett Kavanaugh at the Supreme Court, and then they will don literally the uniform of female repression across planet Earth in New York City, in order to fight American intolerance. That is what they will do. And why is that really happening? And the answer is for so many young people, but it's particularly true of young women. They're using politics as a substitute for family and community, which is why they're voting the way that they are. It provides a sense of communal solidarity, because the great irony of young liberal feminists,

shouting for Sharia law, is pretty astonishing. It's pretty astonishing. And this is how you end up within New York City that is being dominated by people who believe that America is inherently evil and terrible, people who sympathize with the ideological belief system of the people who murdered 3,000 people on 9-11. I'm saying that advisedly, because Zor Mamdani literally does. In September 11, 2023, the current mayor of New York, again, this is not 20 years ago when he recanted, this is three years ago, three. He tweeted, quote, nearly 3,000 New Yorkers died on 9-11. 22 years later, the death hasn't stopped. Did you know that 3,000 New Yorkers died on 9-11? Spontaneously, they're just walking around in the streets and bam, they all had heart attacks. They spontaneously combust it. In the words of Ilhan Omar, some people did something. Can't acknowledge what radical Islam did, can acknowledge what terrorism did, it isn't terrorism. The real tragedy, according to Zor Mamdani, of course,

is the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who were victimized by America, quote, we mourn our neighbors who died that day. The hundreds of thousands who died in the wars that followed. The unknown millions injured and displaced. In their memory, we worked toward a better world. So notice what he's doing in that tweet, many things. One, he's pretending that people just spontaneously combust it. There was no Islamic terror attack on 9-11. It was all in our imagination. Two, the real tragedy is not the thousands because that's like 3,000 people. It's the hundreds of thousands and millions of people who are harmed by the United States. The United States is the bad guy, in other words. This is what he truly believes. And this piece of Drek is the mayor of New York City. Remember during the campaign, he suggested standing in the Bronx and Islamic events that the real victims of 9-11 were Muslims in New York, including his auntie, his poor auntie, who supposedly experienced Islamophobia and turns out that story probably wasn't true. I want to use this moment to speak

to the Muslims of New York City. I want to speak to the memory of my aunt. Who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab? That is the real tragedy. That right there is the real tragedy. Now again, all of this is connected to a broader anti-American worldview. A son-piker has become a hot topic because a son-piker is very open about this stuff. He doesn't try to hide the ball. Politicians will lie about it. Isor Mamdani will pretend that he cares about 9-11. After tweeting three years ago that he obviously doesn't care about 9-11, he cares that American form policy caused 9-11 and then caused millions of Muslim deaths around the world, according to Soren Mamdani. But a son-piker has the virtue of radical honesty. I mean, now he claims that he never said that he hates America, but he does.

I mean, here was a son-piker saying, like this week he doesn't hate America, contrasted with him like a couple of years ago when he had longer hair and was trying to do John Lennon knockoff routine, saying that he hates America. It is completely ridiculous. It's laughable to say, guys like myself, guys like Abdul Al-Sahed, we hate America. I say I hate America all the time. A lot of motherf***ers want to kill me over that tape. But at least I say what my f***ing chest, people will be like a son, you hate America. I'm like, yeah, I do. I do hate America. I know, it's all a myth. It's all a myth. Engaging a little bit of tequila there, lying for a wartime purposes. A son-piker was on the breakfast club over the weekend with a shadow man in the god. And he basically just acknowledged that he thinks that America is full-scale illegitimate. In the same way that he says Israel is illegitimate, both settler colonial occupations, as I've said before, understand folks. The broad scale anti-Israel movement it shares the same exact ideological underpinnings

as the broad scale anti-American movement. Every argument they make about Israel is apical to America. They just make it about Israel so they don't have to have the awkward conversation about America. Here's a son-piker ripping into the United States. Israel is not dissimilar to how countries were formed. Maybe a hundred years ago or 200 years ago or 300 years ago, but this kind of siege warfare in 2026 is obviously going to be deemed unacceptable by people who do believe in liberal values. And humanitarian values. Because we should oppose it. That's what we learned. We learned in school that this is unacceptable when nations of the past did it. We're supposed to acknowledge that it was unacceptable when America did it. Now, the problem is some people don't want to acknowledge that, right? Because this is a settler colonial occupation as well and it's inception. That's how America was started as well. The mass slaughter of the indigenous population

and the continuation of Chaddle's slavery after that. Again, despise is America. despise it. And so these people who despise America are now in positions of power. All right, coming up. Abdul Al-Sahed had a son-piker stump for him. Again, all the America haters they are in one basket. Here's the reality. America needs better people than this. We just need better people than this.

This is when a married couple sleeps in separate rooms because one person snores or steals the covers or tosses in turns or sets the thermostat to a temperature normally associated with food preservation. Well, before you serve your spouse with papers over blanket theft, you might be better off just getting a better mattress. This is one reason my wife and I sleep on that Helix mattress. Okay, so my wife and I disagree on temperature. Or my wife likes it warmer. I like it cooler. But the Helix mattress is breathable. It makes me cooler. So that means I'm not absorbing heat in the same way I normally would. So that makes the compromise a lot easier. Helix knows no two people sleep exactly alike.

A Piker says that El Sayad asked him to stump for him. Yeah, that definitely happened after the Abdul al-Sahid campaign. He asked me to stump for him. And I had not considered that ever before. I never really delivered a speech like that before. Ironically enough, the last time I had like a big political speech outside of, you know, pro Palestine conferences and rallies was March for our lives. Hey, and now Abdul al-Sahid is claiming that the race is not about a social media person

from California. I agree. It's about you, dude. You're the one who believes exactly the same things that a son Piker believes is a radical anti-American islamist who supports terrorism. I mean, that is who al-Sahid is. The focus on Piker is just a convenient way to avoid the fact that he agrees with Piker. Here is Abdul al-Sahid. I am not interested in a conversation about a social media person in California. And for folks who want to make this race about a social media person in California, let's not forget what actually matters in our politics, what our politics really are about. I don't ever want my comments to hurt anybody's feelings. It's important to me that people understand that I take seriously the pain of all communities in this state. But I don't want to have a conversation about a Twitch streamer in California. It's not a serious conversation. Why did you bring a mission? All right. We already went to Fox News. Do you see it? Fox News. And he's got his handler in there jumping in before he can actually answer the question. Now, by the way, he is coming out with his own form of tequila. He is lying.

He says that he is walking back. Remember those comments where he suggested after a radical Muslim from Dearborn Michigan? Drove a truck into a Jewish preschool in the nearby area. He came out and he equated that to the IDF killing a member of his belie. And he said hurt people hurt people. Now he is saying that he wants to offer context. Quote, the right medicine at the wrong time. It's the wrong medicine. So he doesn't disagree with what he was saying. He just believes that, you know, it was offensive because of when he said it. So once again, always and forever, the West is responsible for the sins of Islam. The West brings it upon itself. It is all blowback, always and forever. And this is the prevailing view for people like al-Sahiyah. It is the prevailing view for Piker or Chanqueer for Zahar Mamdani. And now for a democratic party that has decided they must follow travel with these people and basically agree with them. And meanwhile, the West continues to import these people. None of these people have to be here. Can we just point this out? None of the people I just mentioned should be in the country.

None of them. What was the benefit to Abdul al-Sahiyah's parents coming out of the country? What was the benefit to Zahar Mamdani's parents being allowed into the United States? How about Chanqueer's family and Hassan Piker's family? He grew up in Turkey. What has been the vast boon to the American taxpayer from these people? What has been the great cultural reawakening that has occurred because of these people who despise the country? But again, the goal is to use the freedoms of the West against it. Which is why Hassan Piker goes on the breakfast. There is no one more repressive in American public life with regard to the West. There is no one more repressive in American public life with regard to targeting political opposition than Hassan Piker. Dude literally wears mal uniforms. Mal, famous for literally murdering tens of millions of human beings, including people who just disagreed with him during the cultural revolution. Piker is perfectly fine with mass murder of political opponents. But now he says the American government is bad because they're targeting activists. Oh, do you mean that the government is deporting people who hate the country? I mean, yes, that is what he means. That's the government deporting people who hate the country because then people like Hassan Piker wouldn't be let in.

But the government has always started out. Oh, it is. Yeah, I mean, there's already a tremendous suspicion around numerous key figures in Black Lives Matter protests all the way from the Obama administration as well that have all died by suicide. It's, you know, strange phenomena. And obviously we know that there is a historic precedent for this. The American government. Yes, exactly. So that's that's always been the case, right? And outside of that, I think there is a lot more apprehension of even like student protesters and whatnot. So he's saying that the government is randomly killing activists, not deporting them, killing them. Because this is how much he hates the country because that's not true at all. Here is the reality. Our immigration system is broken. We never should have imported these folks. We never should have done it. We should stop it right now and reverse it, which brings us to an insane judicial decision over the weekend again. It is just local judges who are now deciding for the entire nation.

You can't deport people who hate the country. According to Politico, a federal judge on Friday declared the Trump administration's efforts to deport non-citizens for political speech, run counter to the Constitution's first and fifth amendments. The latest legal rebuke of the White House's expansive immigration agenda. Northern Districts, California judge Noelle Wise, an appointee of Wait for Joe Biden. Sided with the Stanford Daily, which sued Marco Rubio arguing his use of the INA that's the Immigration and Nationality Act to deport non-citizen students, had foreign students refraining from writing opinion pieces critical of the administration. Now, the reality is that the law allows the State Department enormous discretion under the INA Section 237-A4C1. It allows the State Department to deport any alien, quote, whose presence or activities in the United States, the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds believe, would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States. And that law includes protection for aliens whose beliefs, statements, and associations would be lawful within the United States, but gives the Secretary of State power to override these protections as long as he notifies the chairs of the House and Senate committees on the judiciary and foreign relations.

So yes, of course we should be deporting people. First of all, these people never should have been imported. What the hell was Machmuchalil doing in the United States? We desperately needed foreign exchange students to come and lead radical protest movements shutting down American campuses on behalf of terrorist organizations. That was the thing we needed here in the United States. I feel like we have enough problems without importing those ones. Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis has come out in Florida and correctly named the Council on American Islamic Relations, a foreign terrorist organization. He said, we designated care named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror financing trial in history as a foreign terrorist organization all states should follow suit. We've also removed Taurus back DA's who refused to honor their oath to enforce the law. Let's go. This is a good move. There's also an initiative from the Trump administration to target many of these nonprofits. The IRS is going to issue fines or even strip the tax exempt status of charities allegedly tied to political violence, protest, or radical ideologies. So that would include, for example, care as well as these Taurus network. Meanwhile, the DHS is not, by the way, if you think the DHS is not being even handed, I present to you the case of Milo, Ianopolis. So Milo, Ianopolis for those who don't know is a Dura Latuman being just a complete scuzz bucket.

Truly a horrible person who has spent the last decade or so traipsing around the United States. Essentially being a racial and sexual provocateur saying silly things, saying ridiculous and ugly things. Well, he was deported over the weekend and I will say that his mug shot is not nearly as flattering as President Trump's mug shot. Homeland Security put out a statement on August 27th, ICE arrested Milo, Ianopolis and illegal alien from the United Kingdom. At the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Kenner, Louisiana, Ianopolis legally entered the country May 14, 2019 through New York City. He chose to overstay his welcome and violation of our nation's laws. Ianopolis was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge July 22nd after failing to show up for his immigration hearing. The remaining ICE custody pending removal. Is it being in detention is a choice encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure, but the CBP home app is encouraging their encouraging people to self-deport. So for those who don't know Milo, Ianopolis, he got started at Breitbart back when I was at Breitbart. I was an editor at large and he was also, I believe, an editor at large, something like that.

And you're all kind of like edgy right wing pieces and then he quickly tuned over into what was then called the alt right, the sort of white supremacist adjacent part of the right. And now he spends his days kind of tweeting horrifically ugly things that people as he has for the last 10 years or so. January 29th, he tweeted, I'm still praying that God will bless me with a wife and children, but Lord, if you're listening, if it's between loneliness and woman like Erica Kirk, I choose solitude. Thanks big guy Milo, by the way, is extraordinarily gay by his own activity and description. He now calls himself X gay, which I mean, I don't know man, that's sort of like calling Rosie O'Donnell X overweight on tempules show December 5th of last year. Call the Erica Kirk deeply, deeply sinister. This is who he is again, he's just a professional provocateur. The astronomically in adequate explanations given in my view for the actions before at and after Charlie's death and the behavior afterwards from both the federal government and turning point executives.

You think they're nothing of his deeply deeply sinister wife. Why Erica? No, he's. This guy, this one, why he was hanging around the United States for so long, nobody really understands was he have benefit to the United States as long as we're evoking H1B visas. It seems to me that there's no special talent visa applicable for Milo, you know, I'm close. We have plenty of nut jobs here in the United States. You don't need more back in 2015 when he was significantly more of a thing. He got himself in trouble by suggesting that pedophilia and petrasty were capable of consent. Here was on Joe Rogan back in 2015. Do people know who he is? I don't think so. What's his name? Well, I'm not saying anymore. Well, how old you at the time? I don't know, just a little kid. He was like, what? You're just trying to, you're trying to, was he was 20s or 30s? Yet another, yet another feminist strategy that you have adopted in addition to your language, but he's trying to, trying to, trying to pet a file? No, he's trying to go on this. You were the one who's anti-petal file early. I told you it wasn't a pedophilia. I was all sorry about this. I was going to tell you, it was in my teens. I was in my teens.

14. I was in my teens. Something like that. That's what he says. In my teens. I was a pedophilia buddy. I don't know how they rock it in Mary Old England. I was in my teens. Over here in my country. You're never seen a 15 year old girl at any point in your life. However old you were, you've never seen a 15 year old girl you thought was off. Yeah, when I was 15. No, when you were 25. When you were 25. When you were 25. When you were 25. When you were 13. No. You were a 15. You thought was off. No, I thought there were little kids. I was a very mature 14 year old. Yeah. Well, in your case, he got it right. You got the right guy to molest. It was a molestation. That's absolutely molestation. It was a molestation. It was perfectly consensual. I don't think it is when they're 14. When I was 14, trust me, I was the predator. Just a couple of months later. He was advocating full scale for a petrSD, involving 13 year olds and older men. This is the thing that originally got him booted out of the right movement, although it shouldn't have taken that, obviously. This arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys, you know,

the understanding that many of us have the complexities and softleties and complicated nature of many relationships. You know, people are messy and complex and actually in a homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of coming of age relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable sort of a rock where they can't give their parents. Some of those relationships are some of the most molestation of me. It sounds like, you know what? It sounds like Catholic. I'm a pretty smallestation to me. And you know what? I'm grateful for Father Michael. He's grateful. He's grateful for being molested, apparently. So apparently his job was kind of wandering around the United States being a psycho for years and years and years and years. And he was, you know, I have to say, we don't need to import our psychos. Tucker Carlson is using imported labor. He's using imported labor.

He's not enough for him to find American psychos. There are plenty of them. He's importing people from foreign countries to do the job's Americans are perfectly willing to do. I mean, aside from selling Indian made nicotine. Here was mylionapolis on Tucker Carlson talking about the semen demon. I'm like, yeah, I have a genus hunt girl. And then, you know, like a basketball player, when I'll basketball play, that'll gay nerds, but you know, like a football player, what's the next to me? I like it would take hold of me. There were times I had to like go to the bathroom and like, you know, yeah. Because I had to get rid of it because it was taking a hold of my mind. Which sounds like a demon. Yeah. Because it's what it is. I joke, I say goger off the semen demon. You know, he comes out. He doesn't visit me very often anymore. So many demons for Tucker. So there's so much great information coming from that joke. Truly, it is astonishing how brilliant you become watching this.

Well, now mylionapolis has been deported from the United States back to his home country. We won the war against the Brits for a reason. There's great irony to the fact that who's calling in May 2016 for my deportation. And all we can say here is, bye. We'll, bye. Well, Dana Bash asked Tom Homan on CNN if mylion was deported faster than other ice detainees. If he was, that may come sad because I think that mylion would probably enjoy prison. In any case, here was Dana Bash with Tom Homan. Homeland security said he was arrested Thursday. We understand he was deported the next day. That seems like a pretty quick turnaround. Was he given preferential treatment to leave instead of remaining in an ice detention facility longer? No, we've been working steadily in the last few months. I'm getting people out quicker.

That way, say the taxpayer's money, the detention space. The quicker we, the jujuge orders them out rather than being detention waiting for travel documents and flight arrangements. We know ice along with the CBP to Department of Homeland Security is working really good on the efficiencies of the removal process. Get them out quick, open those beds up for more detainees to be held. So that's standard now. Or that's the goal. We, we, we track the average length of stay and we want to get the average length of stay. I'm, average length of stay and detention down. Okay, so well, good, good bye to mylionapolis. And I hope that he enjoys this time in the UK. I assume he's going back to the UK and he can hang with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who are also back there. As well, we fought a revolution just so we didn't have to import people like this. And we can only hope that some of his fellow Brits will, will rejoin him there at some point in the near future.

I was 22 years old. I was not yet married. And now just think back over the past 20 years. Wife, five kids, big business, all of it. Well, 20 years of long time, simply safe is now celebrating 20 years. Again, most companies don't make it that long unless they're actually solving a real problem. When you're picking a security system for your home, what you're looking for is peace of mind. The goal is not to obsess over your security. The goal is to never have to think about it again.

So let them know we say there is no safe like simply safe. Okay, well, many of the people it's kind of fascinating.

Many of the people who hit American the most at the Abdul al-Sahiaz, the Zahran Mamdanis. They are huge fans of gigantic government redistribution, huge fans of it. And you have to ask yourself why like why is it that the same people who wish for America to collapse are very much in favor of huge government redistributionism. And the answer is that's the payoff. That's the payoff. Historically speaking, it's kind of fascinating. You know, look at the Nazi movement, for example. National socialism. Everyone likes to focus on the nationalism part. Like to focus on the radical nationalism that resulted in the Holocaust. But there's a historian named Goetz-Ali. We're in a series of books about this. Talking about the socialism part of national socialism. Why were Germans so important? Because the truth is that Nazism was quite popular and remained popular basically until the end of the war. And the big answer that this historian gives Goetz-Ali is that the Nazi leadership were very cognizant of the fact that the way you remain popular with the population, even as you promote radicalism, is radical redistributionism.

So they promoted extraordinarily high progressive tax rates. They promoted seizure of private property. They did so on behalf of the lower and the middle classes. Goetz-Ali claims, for example, in one of his book's Hitler's beneficiaries that the goal was to make the Germans into welfare parasites. Vast numbers of Germans fell prey to the euphoria of a gold rush. As the state was transformed into a gigantic apparatus for plundering others, average Germans became unscrupulous of profiteers and passive recipients of bribes. And that's right. And so it's tempting to look at Abdul-Al-Sahyad or Zor-Mum-Dani and say, well, the economics is sort of an adjunct to their radicalist views. And the easy thing for the right to say is, well, you know, they're using affordability as cover for the sort of quasi-g-hodism. And Lef says they're just using the g-hodism as sort of an adjunct to their redistributionism. They are part of the same program. Because the idea is that if you want to fundamentally restructure America, what you do is bribe people.

You bribe people. And the best way to bribe people is through government-largest. It's a great way to bribe people. You get to have pretty much anything so long as you are claiming that people are not going to absorb the costs and that they will absorb the benefit. It's all part of the same agenda. So again, it is not a coincidence that Abdul-Sahyad is a member of the Democratic Party. For example, again, there are plenty of anti-Americans in the Republican Party as well, the Tucker Carlson wing for one. But even those people are very big fans of government spending and redistributionism, not a coincidence. Here is Abdul-L-Sahyad talking about how our national debt is big because we cut taxes and we cut tax on the rich and we went to war. But really, we can afford whatever we want. But it might be worth trying to figure out why our national debt just got so big. They cut taxes on the richest people because at the end of the day, a debt balance is about the amount of money in and the amount of money out. Republicans always like to do one thing with our money. They don't want to give you health care, they don't want to give you child care, they don't want to address our broken infrastructure or our failing public schools.

You know what they want to do? They want to go to war. Okay, all Republicans want to do according to him is go to war. But if it really, the only thing that matters, the only thing that matters, going to Abdul-L-Sahyad, is the political will to do Medicare for all. Which is only going to cost us tens of trillions of dollars and essentially bankrupt our economy. Here's Abdul-L-Sahyad pretending he cares about fiscal responsibility when he clearly does not. I went to medical school and I spent a lot of time thinking about the system, wrote a whole book on it. And ultimately, realize that the biggest challenge is not making the math work. The biggest challenge is not architecting the system. The biggest challenge is creating the political will to get there. Okay, by the way, this is something that people lie about in politics all the time. It's just a matter of will. If we just had more will, we could do it. No amount of will is going to make the math math. It doesn't math. But James Stellariko is doing the same routine. He says that basically the Bible says you must have nationalized health care, which is a pretty weird take on the Bible, which doesn't have nationalized health care.

Go back and see what Jesus spends most of his time doing. It's not preaching, it's not teaching, it's healing. It's healing people. And that is what we are called to do. Whether you're religious or not is ensure that our neighbors have the care that they need. And that is going to be the end result of this plan. And the other health care policies that we're going to fight for in Washington. Okay, now what is actually costing us the money? The answer is all the social welfare programs. It is Medicare, Medicaid, affordable care act, social security, income security, right is all those things. fiscal year 2025 US budget. We are going to spend 10.3 trillion dollars. Interest is 12.1% of that, which is about the same as national defense now. Healthcare and social spending combined is over half of the federal budget. The national defense is 13.7%. We are actually at a relative low in terms of our percentage of GDP spend on defense right now.

And Democrats lie about that, so they can claim that actually it's the defense sector that is costing all the money. And this is all going to bankrupt us, by the way. This chart of income tax revenues versus interest payments. Check this out by 2040. More than half, well over half of our income tax revenue will just be spent on maintaining the debt. Just on the interest that we have to pay on our debt. This is not uniquely a democratic problem. Republicans tend to lie about this stuff too. So RFK Jr., for example, he did a Foxtown Hall where he suggested that enormous amount of money is being stolen and healthcare fraud. That's true. That is not the chief problem. The chief problem. I know the Republicans want to pretend that it's not the entitlement programs either. It's fraud, waste and abuse. That is a problem and it's not the chief problem. We have all heard about the fraud taking place across the country. It would double the solvency of the Medicare trust fund, double the life expected. That's a shocking claim.

It's a lot of money. It's over $100 billion a year that's being stolen. I mean, there is a lot of money that is being stolen and also that is not the chief problem when it comes to our national debt. But again, the broad scale big government program is connected with all the rest of it. There's a reason why the left is embracing both radical Islam and also gigantic government spending programs. They fit together beautifully. They really, really do. Now, none of it's going to materialize in real life, by the way. The New York Post is reporting. It's our mom Donnie's promise of universal childcare, including a new free 2K program. Is forcing them to dig into their own pockets. There is no money of it for it. But the backing of Kathy Hocal can be able to two care pilot for two year olds that aims to expand citywide in the next four years. That came with $1.2 billion in state funding according to the New York Post. However, their massive hardships on the funding front, the money is not forthcoming. There is a lays and frustrations. So again, the promises never be a problem.

Again, the promises never reify. But in the moment, they sound good. Okay, meanwhile, on the foreign policy front, I hate to break it to opponents of the Trump administration. But we are actually winning in Iran right now. We are actually winning. So President Trump has been saying for a long time, the straight-of-formals is open. And listen, I've been skeptical because I've been watching the amount of oil coming out of the straight-of-formals. But it turns out the straight-of-formals can't open. This is no longer a speculative matter. An enormous amount of oil is pouring out of the straight-of-formals from Qatar, from UAE, from Iraq, from Kuwait. And zero is coming out from Iran. And Iran is in serious economic straits. You're a sent-com Admiral Brad Cooper explaining the traffic separation schemes in the straight-of-formals. Let's take a look at exactly what this means. Here's a nautical chart of the straight-of-formals and surrounding seas. It's frequently used by mariners around the world and clearly identifies the internationally recognized traffic separation scheme, which you see labeled on the chart as TSS.

A traffic separation scheme is a highway system for ships on the ocean. Here on the chart, a dividing line is shown in place between lanes with opposing traffic directions to keep ships safely apart in the narrow waterway. These are the long-standing lanes international shipping has historically used to transit the straight-of-formals. And over the past few months, our forces meticulously and quietly cleared them of sea-mine threats using a combination of navy divers, navy seals, and US air power from the Army, Navy Air Force, and Marine Corps. The circumstances were challenging and dangerous to say the least, what we got the job done. The bottom line today, international shipping lanes are open and momentum is building. That's extraordinary. Brett McGurk, who worked under pretty much every administration in the recent past worked under Trump, Ann Biden, and Bush, and Obama. He has a piece at CNN saying the US is winning. Bloomberg reported this week that oil flows through the strait have recovered to two-thirds of pre-war levels.

Emmings pressure is now compounding on Iran and not the US. And if Iran loses its ability to hold the strait hostage, its leverage dissipates rapidly. According to the International Monetary Fund, Iran's economy is expected to contract by more than 5% this year, with inflation approaching 70% the value of Iran's currency has fallen sharply, prices for basic goods have soared. Miyad Maliki from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, frequent guest on the program, he explained over the weekend. The regime can keep printing reall to avoid cutting salaries, but it can't print gasoline or refining catalysts. Printing buys time, but salaries paid in melting reall simply can't buy imports that no longer arrive. The regime is inflating away payroll cuts, but can't inflate away empty fuel tanks. The regime's economy minister admitted that 100 trillion Tomas were borrowed directly from the central bank in March through May alone. The monetary base is up 61.5%. Inflation is near 90%. Food is up 134%. A stopped paycheck is a different animal from what we have seen. A common date, a common grievance, an obvious culprit, unpaid salaries, was start to trigger strikes. And by the way, this is now being admitted full scale by the Iranians themselves, Muhammad Pzezegin, who is the titular president of Iran.

He said on Friday that there are people who are saying the sanctions have no impact. He's like, I don't know what you are talking about. Export and imports have fallen by 25 to 35%. This is our exports have fallen more, but our imports have also declined. Of course, exports have seen a bigger drop than imports. The meaning of this is clear to those who understand economics. I do not want to spell it out. I do not know what to say to those who claim that their sanctions have no effect. That's even the Iranians acknowledging this at this point. There's some pretty significant infight between the IRGC and some of the other parts of the coalition inside Iran. Now, Trump administration has to sit there and keep the blockade on. Which is why Iran is starting to get kind of frisky. So Iran is freaking out. They want to remind the straight because they lose leverage over the straight. They got nothing. They don't have nuclear weapon. Their only forward capacity is terrorist groups are being blown to smithereens largely by the Israelis. In Lebanon, for example.

And they can fire the Dissultry missile rounds at Jordan and mostly get knocked down. But that's kind of it. So over the weekend, they tried to remind the straight and the United States did not allow them to do this. According to Reuters, US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Iran's laryk island on Sunday, marking the first known American strikes on Iran since late July. Iran responded by attacking US forces stationed in Jordan. Pretty much all the incoming missiles were intercepted. Now, President Trump just for the funds of it, I guess, the funsy's of it. He put out an AI video of hard being blown to smithereens, of course, is the AI. And you know, this is how the president gets his kicks at 918 on a Sunday night. Putting out a tweet showing Kharg island being blown again. The United States could do that at literally any time. Mosh Tabaq Hamine, who may or may not be alive, right? We literally have not seen him since the original attacks on the Iranian regime. So it might be his dead body. We can burn you, style being wheeled around and his skull being manipulated to say things. He issued a letter urging Muslim countries to unite against what he called their real enemy.

Well, let's just be clear at this point, Iran has fired on pretty much every surrounding country. So I think all of them know who the real enemy is at this point. So this brings us to what can only be called treason inside the administration, true treason. So yet another leak over the weekend. These leaks need to be identified and the leakers need to be prosecuted, prosecuted today. I don't care whether you're an opponent of the war, whether you think the war is a good idea, a bad idea, how it's going, it doesn't matter. Leaks of classified information at the top levels of the defense structure to the press ought to be prosecuted because even if you wish for this war to reach some sort of crappy negotiated solution. If you want the US to have a stronger hand in those negotiations, you cannot. You simply cannot be leaking. Disension within the ranks supposed shortcomings in terms of material, the Washington Post for like the 18th consecutive time and I have my suspicions as to let's say which wing of the administration is doing the leaking. I do not think it is a mystery wrapped in an inigma who exactly is doing the leaking at this point inside the administration.

I don't think anybody's been watching this closely has a lot of doubts as to who's doing it. But according to the Washington Post, several US military leaders have advised defense secretary Pete Heggseth at prolonging large scale operations against Iran. It's unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere, including US homeland, according to people familiar with the recent assessment prepared for the Pentagon chief. The warnings detailed for Heggseth by the heads of the Army Navy and Air Force and the four star commanders overseeing US operations throughout Europe, Asian Latin America appear in the August 14th edition of the Secretary Defense Order's book, according to those people. It is grabbed the assessment to the Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because the document is classified every single person who is leaking this stuff to the Washington Post needs to be identity. He needs to be identified, fired and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is insane. These leaks have to stop. They are a fact they are in fact a treasonous act. It is a treasonous act to leak that information. Now the administration is taking the bizarre position that the real problem here is the press. The problem here is not the press.

The problem here is the members of the administration who are leaking. They should be tracked down, put the people on it inside the Pentagon whose job it is to prevent the leaks. Sean Parnell over it. The Defense Department has published highly classified assessments from the Secretary's Order's book as a crime. It is a betrayal of the force and much of what they are publishing is inaccurate. Of course, we demand candid military advice non concurs are standard. The Secretary sees them constantly. That is how you run a real military. The story is about readiness. It is TDS and PDS. They hate President Trump and Secretary Heggseth more than they love America. Now again, that is true. Identify the leakers and prosecute them to the full extent of the law. And none of that should be controversial. Back in 2010 Barack Obama literally fired the top Afghanistan commander Stanley McChrystal not for leaking information but for simply talking and disparaging ways about him. And then he was replaced by David Patreus. So there's a long history of this sort of stuff. Heggseth was asked about reports that missile stockpiles are running low. Here is his answer. Press reported that nearly all the attack of weapons were used. Did the United States use both military and-

Why would I answer- I mean this is kind of stupid question I would never answer. Like why would I answer a question about whether we do or do not have certain types of issues. I will tell you we have 110 percent. I will tell you we have one. I would never answer that question. American press is foolish to want to press an American board apartment about where we may or may not be on classified exquisite systems. We had plenty when we needed it and we have plenty now and we have plenty when we'll need them in the future. Again, whether that's true whether it's not true. The bottom line is whoever is leaking to the president needs to be identified. The leakiness inside the defense department. The leakiness coming from state. Whoever is leaking this stuff. Other offices in the executive branch. Those leakers need to be identified and put behind bars immediately. And meanwhile on other foreign policy news. Delsey Rodriguez who is the dictator of Venezuela. She announced a historic agreement with the United States. She said Venezuela announced a historic agreement with the United States government. She'll have a significant impact on our nation's revival. The initiative is the result of strengthening of relations between Venezuela and the United States.

But will facilitate a significant flow of investment aimed at the recovery and reconstruction of strategic infrastructure for the development of our hydrocarbons industry. And she expressed gratitude to President Trump and Marco Rubio and all the rest. So it calls for a significant increase in production and the development of 17 strategic fields with a proven potential of 65 billion barrels of oil. An investment of more than $100 billion and more than $209 billion in taxes or the state. Apparently this is an energy agreement that will remain in force for 25 years. This is an initial goal to raise crude outputs 1.5 million barrels. President Trump said that he's going to fill the strategic national reserves with Venezuelan oil. Since the topping out process will begin very shortly and it's a gift from Venezuela to the people of the United States. Thank you. Okay, so I'm very much in favor of what the president has done in Venezuela with that said every foreign policy initiative ends the day the president leaves office. That's the way this works. I'll cover the successor is JD Vance or the successor is a Democrat.

When it comes to Venezuela, a Democrat in the White House will kill all these initiatives and the people left in power will be people who work for Nicholas Maduro. That's who is currently in power the next two and a half years need to be spent transitioning the Venezuelan government away from Delci Rodriguez and toward the actual opposition leadership people like Maria Machado. We should be gripping Venezuela by the throat and we should be telling them if Maria Machado goes back is on the ground if she is harmed in any way we grip you by the throat harder. Because again, the next administration from a Democrat will not give a crap about oil production. You'll try to stop it based on global warming nonsense and redistributionist ideals.
