3:08So if I count that right, that would be two transgenders. A 1970s-era militant feminist actress, mostly famous for bearing her breasts in a movie called The Lance City, and an as a Jew, ham sandwich, bisexual actress. Every single person who I just named would be tossed off a building in Gaza or hanged from a crane in Tehran, pathetic. All right, so we're going to get to it all. Xi Jinping getting the red carpet treatment from President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech at the UN and the AI globalists appealing to the international community. But we begin with the coalition of America haters in our streets. So yesterday a few hundred droogues and morons in Vial America haters all got together. Supposedly to protest the presence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations in New York. Now let's start with this. This was not about human rights. Obviously, this was not about human rights. These people do not care one

4:08Iota about human rights. They don't care about any of that. I'll guess what they do care about in a second. The UN is filled with actual evil states pursuing actual slaughter of actual civilians deliberately. These people were not there protesting any of that. They were there to protest Netanyahu because that's part of a gestalt. It's part of a broader world view. That world view is simple. The West is evil. Anyone who is successful in the West or internationally, any country that is successful is a victimizer, any country that is unsuccessful and unsuccessful. By the way, it can be defined by how much you love terrorism, how miserable you make your own citizens. All of those places are victims. All those people who actively do bad things in the world. They've been victimized by the system and that's why they're failures. They're victims. Now here's the thing. A lot of people today are going to tell you about what happened inside the UN. I actually don't care very much about what happened inside the UN. I'm much more interested in these dull, wooded malicious pieces of trash outside the UN than the dull, wooded malicious and evil pieces of trash inside the UN. What happens inside the UN is a basically

5:12zero consequence. The UN General Assembly, this gigantic event that happens every year, it's basically the golden globes for dictators. It's a legitimacy generating institution for people who deserve no legitimacy. The Trump administration ought to pull out immediately. I've said this. I've said this for my entire career. American tax pair dollars should not be spent on this garbage heap of an institution. We should be pulling our money as fast as humanly possible. I noticed, by the way, all of the isolationists who are very keen on pulling military aid from Israel won't say a word about pulling the multiples of money that we spend at the UN. The UN is a trash garbage horrific organization. There requires between $66 billion and $69 billion to run every year. And we, the American tax pairs pay for about a quarter of that. So we're between $15 and $18 billion annually. We spend on the UN, which is, as I said yesterday, is the most isolated international politics, a wretched hive of scum and villainy. I mean, just think about the UN Security Council,

6:12where literally Russia and China gets to dictate international policy. We the American tax pairs are spending more on the UN each year than we do spend on the Coast Guard annually or the IRS or the FBI and ATF annually. We spend about five times as much on the UN as we spend on, for example, military aid to Israel, which of course is the big bugaboo. So here's the thing. I don't actually care what happens inside the UN because in essence, the UN is irrelevant. Every so often, they send a bunch of blue helmets to a place to not stop a mass killing or to engage in the rape of civilians or something. The UN is a monument to the stupidity of man. I don't care about an institution that stands by for actual genocide in Rwanda and mass slaughter in Somalia and Nigeria and Sudan and Ethiopia and Iran and that acts as a cat's paw for the world's worst dictatorships. The UN is inherently ridiculous. It always was ridiculous. It remains ridiculous today. I am, however, kind of worried about the people protesting outside. Why? Well, in our movie, Run Hyde Fight Infidels, again, you should go to Daily Wire and you should watch it because it's fun, but there's

7:14also a message. The message of the movie is that there is an insanity to the red green alliance, a suicidal insanity. The alliance between radical leftists and radical Muslims. And we are seeing that materialized, not just on our streets, but here's the important part in our government, in Congress. That's what's a stake. Not Susan Sarand and performatively getting arrested or Elliot Page trying to make a headline for something other than cutting off her body parts or Hannah Einbinder desperately attempting to seek more attention. I'm worried about people who agree with Ayatollah Khameini and Hamas, leader Yakhya Sinwar and Hassan Piker in Congress. A bunch of people who were there were not just kind of B level starlet from Hollywood. There were a bunch of people who will be in about four months sitting in Congress. Here is footage of the NYPD beginning to arrest people because they were obstructing traffic. The whole point was to get arrested performatively. This includes Derrioliza Shivalyeh who is going to go to Congress in January because she's in a

8:16blue district and she won a primary over another fairly left wing Democrat, Adrenaliz Bayat. She is a nut job. Okay, and she was there. She got herself arrested. Again, these are people who are going to end up in Congress. They will be sitting in the halls of Congress momentarily at a Himali who literally was a translator for the blind shake. The Egyptian Imam who's convicted in 1995 for conspiring in connection with the world trade center bombing of 1993 and a broader terrorist plot to attack New York City landmarks. Adam Hameali, a man who once traveled to Bosnia to volunteer for an A group that was a front for Al Qaeda. That guy is going to be sitting in Congress. He also was present at this protest. Instead of supporting international law, we are supporting genocide. We are doing the opposite of what we should be doing. The whole point of the United Nations is to stop exactly what's happening. The United Nations has failed. We are

9:22enabling this to happen and this can't continue. Literally a translator for a terrorist and a person who works for an organization that was a front group for Al Qaeda as a volunteer. Okay, that guy will be in Congress. I mean here, Shivalyeh and Chris Rab and Cynthia Nixon, again who occasionally tries to run for higher office in New York and loses. They were also outside the UN. Okay, and I'm just going to point out that Daria Liza Shivalyeh who will be in Congress was a co-founder of Columbia University apartheid divest which called for total eradication of Western civilization and sought community and instruction from the global south. She despises everything there is to despise about America and much that is great about America. This is the lady who literally treated out that she wipes her hands on the American flag. Her boyfriend, by the way, is the lawyer for Zoram Mamdani, Ramsey Kassam who also happened to be Al Qaeda's lawyer. Mila Kirochia showed up. She's going to be sitting in Congress. This is the same Mila Kiroch

10:24who excused the murder of Jews in Colorado by saying that she doesn't know his anti-Semitic that Jews were fire bombed in Colorado for protesting against hostage taking by Hamas. Mila Kirochia was there. Again, it's the constellation of the people who despise the West who are there in the streets and a bunch of those people are going to be in Congress. They're going to be in Congress and of course they exist in the Mayors mansion in New York City as well. Zoram Mamdani who we were told by the best sources didn't care about what happens 8,000 miles away in the Middle East. He wasn't concerned about that at all. He spent yesterday hosting Palestinians from Gaza at Gracie Mansion to plant olive trees. Why precisely is that happening at Gracie Mansion which is the house of the people in New York City? There's only one purpose and that is the third world disbelief that America is evil and terrible in support of a quote unquote genocidal regimes that aren't genocidal and you have to act in solidarity with the global victimized, the global poor, the vast majority of whom are living under the heavy hand of Islamic dictatorship or communist dictatorship. But here is Zoram Mamdani

11:29how do he spend his day again? These are people in public office unless worried about Elliot Page in Susan Sarandon. I'm much more worried about all the people who will be in Congress come January who are at this protest and the people who are in the Mayors mansion right now in New York City. I mean here's how Zoram Mamdani spent his day. He couldn't arrest Netanyahu he had pledged to do that and of course he doesn't have the legal authority to do that so instead he was going to pop some plans at Gracie Mansion. Oh how nice. New York. An amazing job here. Great job New York. Again take this video and cut it directly to Janine and it looks the same. It's just it's insane. I'm sorry this is all insane and this is what the American people are going to go to. This is what the American people are going to go for. One of the people who normally

12:32would have been there certainly is Abdul El-Sahed the Senate candidate in Michigan who his sister by the way yesterday confirmed that of course he's a socialist. He's not a capitalist. We know this already again. This is the entire movement. It is a red, green alliance. This is the entire movement. Radical leftism and radical Islam. There's a reason that during the Iranian revolution of 1979 it was Marxists plus radical Muslims taking over the country and protests and then the Marxists ended up at the end of a row. Now listen the fact that we are on the knife's edge of having a bunch of people in Congress who legitimately hate the West and the West itself seems quasi suicidal. It's just another reason why central banks have been stocking up on gold. The reality is that as the West continues to spend out the law zoo. Only a couple of ways they're going to be able to make that up when it comes to their debt and one of those ways is to devalue currency. One way you can defeat that strategy is by investing in precious metals. It's why I've encouraged everyone for years. It diversifies at least some of their portfolio into precious metals. The best people to do that with are the folks over a golden crest metal because they're going to provide you with resources

13:35that are actually liquid meaning that they're not going to give you like a specialized coin. You can never resell or something. They are actually selling you gold. They're actually selling you silver. They're actually giving you the things that maintain value over time. Right now at a free 2026 infocate or a free portfolio review plus up to 25 grand and free silver on qualifying purchases from our friends at golden crest metals. You can call them at 888-429-3999. You can also text Ben to metals that's Ben to 638-257 or head on over to goldencressmetals.com slash Ben in an uncertain world. There's a certain level of certainty that you get from precious metals ownership head on over to goldencressmetals.com slash Ben he has started. Here was Iman Abdohadhi, who is Abdul Elsaid sister explaining what he actually thinks about capitalism.

14:37Exactly. Again, this is the this is the entire thing. By the way, how did Elsaid spend his Wednesday he was doing a fundraiser alongside Osama Siblani. Osama Siblani is the head of the Arab American political action committee. And he has referred to Kizbullah and Hamas as freedom fighters. At a rally in 2022, Siblani urged the Feta Yine, those would be Islamic terrorists, to fight within their means against Israel, whether it be with stones, guns or hands. He called Hassan Nasr al-Ali, head of Kizbullah, a hero, and said that Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli Jews should be quote, sent back to Poland. That is who Elsaid was campaigning with doing a fundraiser with in the meantime. And that guy is very likely to end up in the United States Senate. That's the thing that I'm worried about. Now, all of this is being mobilized around one word genocide. It's a lie. It is not true. Let us start with the purported purpose of the supposed alliance. Right? The alliance had formed well before 2023, but it is really sprung into action post

15:42October 7, 2023. And they've made the tip of the spear proclaiming that a genocide exists in the Gaza Strip. That doesn't exist. I say that there is a non-existent genocide because there is no genocide in Gaza. There is no deliberate attempt to wipe out the Palestinians. There it does not exist. It was the most targeted military campaign in military history. Directed against a terrorist group that murdered 1200 Jews in one day and took 250 hostages back into Gaza into a tunnel system that they had spent billions of dollars building longer than the London underground. They had embedded the rockets in hospitals in schools and in mosques. The genocide charge is absurd on its face. I'm going to get to why people are doing it, but let's just point out for the sake of truth. I understand truth has no truck for most of these people. That it's all about feelings and has nothing to do with truth. Sure, facts don't care about your feelings, but feelings it turns out really don't care about the facts very much. Here is a chart. This is the difference between a genocide and a not genocide. A here is population data from

16:44Cambodia, from Europe for Jews during the pre and post-World War II period. They're ones in genocide and Gaza. You may notice one of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn't belong. Cambodia in 1960 to 1991. The Cambodian genocide, which happens in the mid to late 1970s, declines the population of Cambodia from nearly 7 million all the way down to about 5.4 million. And that happens in approximately three years. The world Jewish population during World War II declines from 17 million all the way down to 10 million. So until 10 and 11 million. Massive drop, Rwandan genocide. Drop during the Rwandan genocide from 8 million all the way down to 5.5 million. Gaza 2000 to May 2025. Zero drop off. None. Nada. The total population of Gaza

17:45stayed the same or increased during the supposed genocide because of the natural birth rates inside the Gaza Strip. Not only that, here is a graph. This graph shows you the distribution of death during the Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip. This data was taken from the Gaza ministry of health. Okay, meaning Hamas. This is Hamas data showing what were the ages of the people who died. Now, if you were pursuing a quote unquote genocide, what you would expect is an even distribution of death across the Asian sex spectrum. Right? Because you're trying to kill everyone regardless of their age or their sex. Instead, what you see here is a huge bulk of death happening for males aged between 15 and 50. That's where the vast bulk of death occurs. What? Why? I wonder why? Because that's all military age males. The reality is the civilian to terrorist death ratio during

18:46the Israeli operation in Gaza is again, the single lowest ratio in the history of urban warfare in the history of urban warfare. Israel shipped in about a ton of food aid for every Palestinian over the course of the last several years. One ton. So Prime Minister Netanyahu goes to the UN and he explains all of this again. It doesn't matter because no one is really listening because it's never been about the truth. It has always been about the op. Here is Netanyahu explaining. I want to ask you some questions. What genocidal regime gives a million polo vaccinations to the enemy's population? What genocidal regime enables the distribution of two million tons of food into Gaza? That's a ton for every person. Accusing Israel of genocide is the greatest lie of the century. He is right about that. But we have to ask what the purpose of the lie is.

19:47What's the purpose of saying it? Are there even advocates of the lie? Understand that along? I do also get when he was questioned about this. He says genocide over and over when he's questioned about this by Scott Galloway. He immediately admits that what actually happened isn't a genocide. He just says we have to say genocide so a genocide won't occur, which is about the equivalent of charging someone with murder who did self-defense and then saying the reason I'm charging you with murder is because we don't want you to murder someone. It makes zero sense at all, but it does if the whole thing is an operation to change opinions and to form essentially a cultic base for your movement. If that's the purpose, it makes perfect sense. So what is the genocide lie about? Well, it's about a few things. First, it is meant to create solidarity with thorough world regimes that actually murder their own population. Number one, because if you can say that Israel's at a genocide, that somehow white washes Iran murdering 50,000 of its own people back in January. The people protesting outside joined all of the various countries walked out on Netanyahu's

20:48speech, mainly Muslim majority dictatorships and their allies who routinely engage in the worst human rights violations on the planet. The people who are walking out on Israel, a country with a military that performs the most humane military operations, the most targeted military operations in all of human history, the regimes that walked out, they did so because they do the very thing that they charge Israel with. They have genocidal intent, they openly say so, they are the ones who are saying they want to wipe Israel off the map, which means inherently the death of millions of human beings. And you have to understand that these regimes have accused Israel of genocide literally since the day it was born in 1947-48. It's been a lie the entire time. They've been saying genocide about the 48 war, the 1948 war of independence, about the 1956 Suez Canal War, about the 1967, the 6th day war, about the 1973 young Kippur War, about the 1982 Hezbollah War against against the PLO in southern Lebanon. They said the same thing about into Fada I, into Fada II, about the Operation Casual. Like literally every time Israel fights an offensive war,

21:51they claim that they're pursuing genocide. It's been a lie the entire time. That's why the walkout. Okay, that's why the walkout. Because if you walk out and you project onto Israel the thing that you are actually doing, then you can reverse the moral polarity. This is why you get Hanna, Hanna Imbinder who hates the West, hand in hand with Mizzouh Pajashkin who also hates the West. Here's what it looked like, by the way, when there is a mass walkout at the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu took the podium. Just a quick announcement. If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now. Thank you very much. Okay, so apparently there are over 70 countries that left. Some were absent the whole time. Like Egypt and Jordan, the Ashtrayians didn't show up for the entire session. Some obviously did leave there was some that remained. UAE remained, Bahrain remained, China remained, Colombia remained.

22:54There are a few that remained, obviously. But there is a reason for all of this. Again, it has nothing to do with human rights. Nothing to do with human rights. Right now, the Europeans are trying to pour billions of dollars of aid into the part of the Gaza Strip still run by Hamas, where according to the New York Times, women are being traded and forced to marry their rapists. No one in Europe cares about that. Hanna, Imbinder doesn't care about that. If they do pretend to care about it, then the goal, of course, is to essentially suggest that all of that is just a result of evil Western ideals. Okay, so first point here is that this is meant to create solidarity. The genocide lie is meant to create solidarity with third world regimes who seek actual destruction of the West. The second reason for the genocide lie is because it's designed a short circuit, your brain. That's what it's meant to do. Right. If somebody just says ugly war or Israel committed war crimes, or if you say that Israel engaged in a war in a way that we don't like, it doesn't have the same impact. When you say genocide, it flips the switch,

23:58it flips the emotional switch to you're the bad guy, period. Not only that, you're like the Nazis, which of course is a really great way of trying to destroy the state of Israel, obviously, because the state want one of the justifications for a state of Israel is that there is genocidal intent against Jews that has happened throughout history. Therefore, Jews require a state to defend themselves. If you say the Jews are akin to the Nazis, the only solution is to wipe them out. Now, again, the genocide lie is meant to flip an emotional switch. That's what it's for. It's why it's so evocative. And as I've said before, I can present you all the facts in the world showing that this is false, but it doesn't matter. If people feel you've committed a genocide, or if you get people to say, well, you know, maybe it's not a genocide, but they're where they're smoked, there's fire. If you can do that, then you can shut off the part of your brain that works. And then you get to the third purpose of the genocide lie. And that is cultic buy-in. This is true for all cults. All cults rely on people saying and outlandish,

24:59outrageous thing over and over and then believing it. If you can get lots of people to performatively say something that is clearly and obviously untrue, that is true skin in the game. It shows commitment to the cult. It is why cults make you say and do weird things or get weird tattoos. Now you're part of the club. It is the price of entry. The more outlandish the thing you can get people to say, the more they now work for you now and forever. This is why for the radical left, the goal is to get every Democrat to parent the genocide lie. But it's not enough for them to say they don't like what Israel's doing or they don't like being in Tanyawha or whatever. They have to say the word genocide. And if they refuse to say the word genocide, they're not on team. Because once you say it, once you tell the lie, you are complicit in the lie and they own you. Now honestly, all of this is super depressing. I mean, the fact that you have an entire movement inside the West to basically destroy the West, it's unbelievably depressing. It might make you want to go to sleep. But you won't even be able to sleep unless you have the proper mattress. You need it. Okay, when I'm on the road, I don't sleep as well. Why I don't have my Helix sleep mattress.

And then finally, the purpose of the genocide lie with regard to Israel is to misdirect away from the broader vision of the radical left, which of course is hatred of the West more broadly

27:01and pretend it's about something else. Hiding behind human rights while you ignore actual human rights violation or direct all of your ira against the Jews always a popular target. It's pretty fascinating. When you look at these specific candidates, these congressional candidates like Daria Lisa Shevalier or Abdul Al-Sahed, they've said a lot of crap about America. You've noticed that she's not repeating any of that crap during her campaign. She's not going to say again that she wants to wipe her hands on the American flag. Abdul Al-Sahed isn't going to go out there and repeat his disgusting ideas about 9-11. But they'll keep saying genocide because everyone who cares who's in their camp knows what that is code for. The West is evil. Say the code word, you're part of the club. And then you hide behind the genocide lie when asked whether you hate the West and stand terrorists and radical Muslims. No, no, no, I'm just against genocide. It's all fun and easy mountain Bailey game. That is the entire stick. Sometimes they say the quiet part out loud congressional candidate Chris Rab. He says it and he says it. It's all the same thing. It's all the same. This clip is so indicative of why the genocide lie. Why they do

28:04this? What is the purpose of it? Here is Chris Rab. If you can't name the demons, you can't kill it. And nobody who gets money to my campaign is going to give me the move of my position on genocide because I can't be free into the Palestinians are free. And like brothers the street said, Israeli Jews can't be free until we have a free Palestine. But if we can't say genocide, if we can't say white supremacy, if we can't say patriarchy or oligarchy, if we can't say the words, how are you going to trust somebody to do the work when it matters most in the darkest times in the world? Again, that's the whole thing. Say the word. Say the cultic word. And we all know what you mean. We mean that you think America is white supremacist. That you think America is an oligarchy that is patriarchal. It is why queers for Palestine. It's why Elliott Page and

29:08Susan Seren and Chelsea Manning and all the rest of the people who would be hanged by a crane until dead are joining in the movement. In the back of their mind, they must know that if the radical Muslims actually had a chance of taking over, they'd be the first people to toss stuff buildings the way that they are in run-hide fight infidels. But they don't care because first things first, first the West falls and then you worry about the rest. This, by the way, is also why the horse shoe right, if they weren't too busy at their cabin in Maine, picking their toes, would have been sitting right alongside those nut jobs because they want the same thing. Look at tomorrow on this in a moment. First, something that surprises people when they start a business is how often success comes down to just answering the phone, not branding, not marketing, just doing the very simple thing of answering the phone. The problem is most businesses are still trying to manage communication with systems that were not built for modern teams.

It can serve as insights when you need them. Put AI agents to work on routine tasks and problems. Let you ask complex questions in plain English like you're talking to a knowledgeable colleague. What's a repetitive task you would happily never personally do again. The bigger question isn't whether your company will use AI. It's how AI changes the way your people actually work together. Net Suite has put together a new expert created guide specifically about that. Aligning for the agentic era, how AI is changing every day work. It looks at how AI could reshape work across an organization and how businesses can position themselves to take advantage of it.

32:10election 2026 right now. The Republicans are in rough shape going into the midterm elections. President Trump is sitting somewhere between a 37 and a 40% approval rating. It's deeply under water. Now that is not because Democrats have moved. Democrats always hated him. They always hated him. He is because of independence who have moved against him. But most importantly, it's because of Republicans. Here's the thing. If Republicans in the generic congressional ballot were down to say five points instead of eight points right now, that would likely mean that Republicans would pick up the seat in Michigan, would certainly win an Iowa, would certainly win in Texas, and would certainly win in Maine, and Alaska, which means they would maintain the Senate. That two to three percentage point margin means an awful lot when it comes to dead even races in a wide variety of Senate races. That is Republicans who are dropping off the bandwagon. If Republicans supported Trump at the 90% clip that they did a year ago, Republicans would still be in rough shape in the House, but they'd be in kind of commanding position in this Senate,

33:10just statistically speaking. So what does that mean? It means that when you have supposed friends of the administration, deep abiding friends, supposed strong Republicans who not only are expressing their upset with the Republican party, but running directly against it and praising the evil, literally praising candidates of the Democratic Party. There's a reason for that. Tucker Carlson is overtly campaigning for Senate Democrats in places like Maine and Michigan. He overtly wants Democrats to win. It is not enough for him to say he is upset with Trump's policy. Hell, I'm upset with half of Trump's policy. That is not what this is about. The question is, why is he out there openly encouraging people to vote for Democrats and to abandon Republicans? That's the real question. Okay, here is Tucker Carlson. So NPR loves this. Tucker is now receiving a strange new respect treatment from all of the legacy media because there's nothing the legacy media loves better than an apostate Republican who turns tail and runs

34:13because that splits the party and then they're very happy. This is how Marjorie Taylor Green goes from being a double digit IQ moron who is deeply disrespected by the legacy media to a double digit moron who is deeply respected by the media. It's how Thomas Massey who is considered an athema to the legacy media is now considered a source worth considering from the legacy media. Same thing for Tucker Carlson, legacy media hate Tucker Carlson up until precisely the point at which there is a confluence of interest at which point they start trotting him out obviously. Here is NPR giving him the solidly massage based treatment while Tucker says that Trump should be bundled out of office. It's enough for me to say he should be removed from office. He should have been removed from office by his own cabinet secretaries the moment he threatened a nuclear attack. You're talking now about the 25th amendment where a majority of the cabinet. That's correct. Yeah. He should have been bundled up and taken out. That is a crime. There's no greater crime than that. Okay. I'm just going to point out that he literally said that if there was an assassination attempt

35:15against President Trump, then Trump should nuke Iran. Tucker said that himself to Ted Cruz. They're trying to assassinate our president. They have been for two years. They are enemies. They are. Well, we are trying to say, why don't we just nuke Tehran if they're trying to murder our president? There's nothing that you could do that would be worse for the United States than murdering Trump. And I just don't understand why you're not calling for the use of nuclear weapons against the itola right now. I'm serious. If you really believe there's a new nuclear weapon. See what ever it's a problem of. So it means you don't seem to take the allegations seriously. I do. If you believe they're trying to murder Trump, we need to stop what we're doing and punish them. Yeah. Now Tucker also spent his day with NPR explaining that Obama was right on Iran all along. Not a shock. And yet the last two Democratic presidents made a nuclear deal with Iran and then tried to remake a nuclear deal with Iran rather than launching a regime change war against Iran. Which doesn't feel like a true statement. Which is a huge improvement over what Trump did. I will say

36:17that. Okay. As someone who opposed Obama, especially in his second term, it took I thought courage and a huge amount of effort to get that nuclear deal done and he should get credit for it. Again, this is who Tucker Tucker Carlson openly standing for the Democrats in the middle of the selection cycle openly standing for them. Right. He's defending Graham Platner still. Why? Because if there's an anti-Semite who's more obvious than Graham Platner, it's hard to find him. He literally had a death's head tattoo on him, which means he's a friend of Tucker. So here is Tucker defending openly Graham Platner. This would be after his open offensive Abdul al-Sahid. His views were out of the Democratic mainstream and he was destroyed by the Democratic Party in a fake sex scandal. So Graham Platner should still be the Democratic governor. Of course. Graham Platner was by the way, Graham Platner was the choice of voters. Remember them in Maine. He won, he won. So yeah, he was the overwhelming choice. But of course, they don't get to vote for him in the fall because the Democratic Party, including the Democratic Party of Maine, which is run by people who weren't even from Maine, rich girls, not from Maine. Literally, rich girls, not from Maine. I

37:21hope everyone's offended by that because it's true. Yeah, they took him out. It took him out in a fake sex scandal. It was a fake sex scandal with regard to Graham Platner. Again, this is Tucker. Defending Democratic candidates, defending them is the same guy who said that he would not with a gun to his head vote for Mike Rogers against Abdul al-Sahid and then said that Abdul al-Sahid's old commentary on how America is worse than al-Qaeda is basically right. What's the goal here? So what's the goal here? The goal is to lose. Tucker Carlson wants Republicans to lose. He's not hiding the ball. He wants Republicans to lose. This is so that the horseshoe right can claim that Trump's agenda has failed, particularly on foreign policy. So they can then destroy the party and take over the fragments of it. They can claim that they use their leverage to make Republicans lose in the only way that they can possibly win again Republicans is to cow-tow to the radicals who agree with AOC on policy. This is what they want to do. They are not hiding it. Now, honestly, the conflict

38:22on planet Earth right now between the West and the rest is so simple, but I think that maybe we're just not staffed up for it.

He's out there saying that conservatives ought to support socialism. It's time. And if the left plays and keeps promising their voters, we will give you free stuff. For your vote and the right says we're principled and purest and above this, then the right will lose forever. The game has changed, guys. People have figured it out. You can vote for stuff. My preference is that we stop doing it altogether and we actually have a country. But if you refuse to do what's necessary, mass deportations, pass the save act while you're at it, get rid, repeal, hard sell earth and civil rights. If you're not going to do that, then you're going to have to do some element of socialism because it's already here. Do socialism. Maybe call it a national socialism, actually.

40:23So what you are saying in the streets from the mainstream left now, people will be in Congress. And the horse you ride is an attempt to destroy the West. I mean, that's what this is about. That's what the coalition of scavengers is. What I wrote about in the lines and scavengers is what we're talking about and run high-fighting fatels. Okay, this is the fight. Now there's only one choice. And that is for the West to actually fight this evil, both internationally and domestically. It is a good thing when evil loses. That's a good thing. How this became controversial is beyond me. When evil people lose, that is good. On that basis, by the way, shout out to our friend Justin Folt, he's director of Matt Walsh's documentaries. He has an awesome new documentary coming out. It's titled Paging Chesbalah. And it's about the Pager attack that started the destruction of the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist war machine. There's no substitute for victory. That's true abroad and it's true at home. Okay, there's no substitute for victory. But there are a lot of people, internationally who refuse to acknowledge this. Hey, those who sympathize with Iran and Hamas, whether because they advocate political Islam or whether because they are radical leftists in solidarity,

41:27must be defeated. But don't worry, there are plenty of people in the West who are perfectly willing to surrender to all of this. And here is the UK's foreign minister, David Milliman, shaking hands happily with Abbas Arachee on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not wrong when he called out the Europeans for being cowards when it comes to defending freedom. There are some, and most recently, especially in Western Europe, who have chosen not to stand up. The leaders of these countries have chosen to succumb to the anti-Semitic mobs. They've chosen weakness. They've chosen appeasement. We cannot evade the sad truth before us. Many in the free world are afraid to defend freedom. And I ask them, what will this future, what will this behavior, what will the world hold for you?

42:29Okay, that is right. Here's the thing. There's only one choice with regard to evil nations, particularly ones who are currently holding hostage, entire oil supplies through the straight of hormones or through Bob Elmandeb. And that is victory. Now listen, everyone would like the war in Iran to end. I would like for 10 victoriously, because there are only two ways of war ends. You lose or you win. There's no negotiated settlement with a bunch of radical Muslims who would prefer the Eskitan to an actual agreement. Now President Trump seems to be operating off of the assumption that the Iranian government is a rational government that makes rationally-based decisions. If that were true, they would not have spent the last half century mass murdering their own people, engaging in a series of unwinnable wars, fostering terrorism around the region that has resulted in zero growth for their own country and their international isolation. None of that is rationalistic. None of it. And the Iranian president, Masood Pizeskyin, he did an interview with Fox News' Brett Baer.

43:29And again, he is, he's just out there spewing nonsense. Here he denied killing Iranian citizens to rap air. And there are two sides sending negotiation. If the Iranians want to go shade, this doesn't leave you a lot of choices, does it? We would never attack our own population. You know, the things that... No, no, no. Conduct the terrorist actions against us. Who hit our schools? To be more understanding. In January, eighth and ninth, you definitely had security forces that killed Iranian citizens. Mr. Trump himself announced that we had equipped and armed these people in order to bring down the Iranian government, Netanyahu's people announced that from Kurdistan and Baluchistan province, forces would be penetrating the major metropolitan centers in order to bring down the government. They thought that it was a three,

44:31it would be a three day affair that the government would fall. It remains that fast, became more cohesive, became more united, even those who stood against the Iranian government. Opposed us for a number of reasons now they are supporting Iran. Okay, that is not true at all, at all, at all. I would also prefer for the war 10 because I would prefer that the oil prices come down, but here's the thing. There's one thing Americans like less than higher oil prices and that's losing wars. We don't like losing wars, particularly the backwater dictatorships that don't have any forward capacity in any serious way. What does that leave on the table for president? Trump will leave on the table the possibility of continuing the blockade. That could continue until such point is there's an exogenous shock to the Iranian regime, but they can't pay their own people or there's an uprising. Or the administration if we wish to rush the process could do what I've been suggesting since April, which is bomb hard island destroy the Iranian refineries and prevent their capacity now and forever

45:32to export oil until they actually reintegrate with the international community, which would require change. All of that's possible. But for all the folks who think that some sort of bizarre, fast agreement with the Iranians to leave them in control of the straight of Hormuz, where they can turn it on and off at whim, but that's somehow going to achieve a less significant Republican loss in 2026. You're out of your mind. It's not going to work that way. Okay, on to the other big foreign policy issue of yesterday. So president Trump is receiving a lot of blowback for sort of whining and dining, and Xi Jinping the dictator of China now. I think Xi Jinping is one of the worst people on planet earth. I think the China is our geopolitical enemy. I do not think they're just an opponent. I think they are our enemy. I think they have nothing but bad hopes and wishes for the United States and our status on planet earth. With that said, president Trump putting out the red carpet for the Chinese, that does not amount to an actual surrender to the Chinese and their people in the media who are treating it that way, which is really absurd. President Trump loves whining and dining people. This is his thing. He

46:33does it with everyone from Kim Jong Un to the Turkish dictator, recipient of everyone. He winds and dines pretty much everybody. I mean, he'll go to mom, he'll go to mom Donnie's house. He'll go to the Gracie mansion and he'll pretend that he that he gets along with his own mom Donnie. I Trump is very big into the gripping and grinning with various foreign leaders, including the mayor of New York. It doesn't mean that he is somehow surrendering to the Chinese. All that happened of material effect is that yesterday, she and Trump agreed to a one year trade truce at a meeting in South Korea last October that got extended by a couple of months. So that there was no actual agreement for the United States to give up anything. And again, China remains as opposed to the United States as it ever was. The Houthis and Yemen who have been trying to exert pressure on the Babylon of Strait. The Houthis are basically supplied by the Chinese. The Iranians are also supplied by the Chinese. Okay, with that said, the sort of

47:35fakeness of the encounter is a little off putting. I will admit. So, President Xi yesterday, he suggested that we're about to overcome what he calls the Thucydides trap. So the Thucydides trap is a much overstated theory that basically a declining power will declare war in order to prevent itself from falling behind another power. In his view, China is the rising power, America is the declining power. That is not accurate. Okay, China is a hollow shell. It doesn't mean they can't do damage. They certainly can. They're nuclear armed large power. With that said, their economy is built on debt. They do not innovate in the way the United States does. They're built on the theft of intellectual property and expropriation from their own citizens. Here was Xi pretending that peace is at hand. Our two militaries should maintain regular dialogue and improve mechanisms for crisis communication and prevention. The Thucydides trap can be overcome. Okay, again, this is just a, it's silly. I'm sorry,

48:42this is also like. Here's President Xi then claiming that Chinese rejuvenation and making America great again can go hand in hand. No, they most certainly cannot. Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand. Let us meet the people's expectation and show our historical initiative. Let us keep advancing the cause of friendship between our two peoples and work together to build a better world. Okay, nobody believes one element of this. This is the same country that unleashed the COVID pandemic on planet earth killing legitimately millions and millions and millions of people. And then pretend that they didn't do it. China is behind pretty much every nefarious movement across planet earth. They are not our friends. President Trump knows that just because he's shaking hands, the Xi doesn't mean that he's forgotten about this. President Xi, by the way, invited 100,000 American students to study in China. Sounds awesome. How about this? How about instead of that,

49:47we just deport 100,000 Chinese students who are studying in America? How about we do that instead? The hope of China-US relationship lies in our people and its future lies with the Yang. I am glad to announce an invitation for 100,000 Yang Americans to visit China for exchanges and study in a coming five years. No, not to that. Let's instead deport the almost 300,000 students from China who are in the United States right now, many of whom are going to take their skill sets and intellectual property that they find in America and bring it back to the Chinese Communist regime. I will say again, I don't really care very much about the president putting out a red carpet for Xi or whatever this is what foreign leaders do for one another as a sort of typical thing. I was not a fan of something that, you know, it's one of those things where you kind of slightly chuckle, but it's not great. So the president was walking through this hall of portraits of prior presidents they put up and as a sort of troll, the portrait of Joe Biden is a picture of

50:49the auto-pen and he shows this Xi Jinping and then Xi laughs at Trump's auto-pen portrait by and listen, I think Biden was the worst president in modern American history. I actually don't think it's particularly close. Still, he was an American president. I don't like Chinese dictators laughing at American presidents. I just don't. Okay, again, as much as I despise Joe Biden as a politician and, you know, disdain him in many ways, I don't think that that is a great look. A president Trump after his meeting with the Chinese, he said we had a great meeting and he likes granite. All right. We had a great meeting and he is great, Chris Grattis. He likes, he likes granite. He's an expert on stone, aside from many other things and he loves good granite. Thank you very much. Okay, whatever. And then they did a state meeting at a state dinner and that state dinner involved Trump, Bans, the cabinet ambassadors, Trump's kids and then a bunch of tech bros showed up

51:55as well. People ranging from Jensen Huang over in video to Mark Zuckerberg to Tim Cook to Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, Michael Dell, Elon showed up. All right, fine. Whatever. Don't care very much. The one thing I care about is that President Trump is not surrendering on AI and he did say this. He said that he is not going to change the AI system on behalf of China, which is the big thing. That is a very different thing, by the way, from the Democratic left wing perspective on AI. And again, if a Democrat were president, they would be cowtowing in real time to China on AI. Here is Barack Obama talking about how we, meaning government, is going to have to take control essentially of AI development. I will say that the rise of social media and the siloing the information bubbles that we all occupy so that the reality of somebody who's reading the New York Times is entirely foreign to somebody who's watching Fox News. We're going to have to

52:56find ways to bridge that. And we're going to have to create new town squares essentially, where everybody is having a common dialogue with certain rules. And that becomes even more important as technology accelerates and AI and deepfakes and all kinds of nonsense is coming. And he's just the worst. He also has support from people like Bernie Sanders. Bernie continues to maintain that we should put people in prison for developing AI. And there's a reason why Bernie and the Chinese are best friends. Is it not extreme? No, 20 years seems like a long time to violate a regulation that you were suggesting. Really? And if that violation results in the possibility of millions of people dying, do you think that that's really terribly radical? We're dealing with a technology that according to some of those knowledgeable people in the world could be lethal, could be extremely dangerous. And if you are breaking the law and developing that technology and endangering millions of people, you know what? I think we should have strong laws to protect people.

53:58And if you break it, you got to pay the price. But as the rhetoric, again, this is what Democrats would like. They want to work for all people who are on the left who are saying Trump is counting to China. If Democrats take office, they will immediately surrender to China. And you know who will help them out is half the tech bros who just want regulatory captures so they can prevent everybody else from developing. So Dario Modi actually spoke with the UN again, just another reason why we should get rid of the UN blow up the building, salt the earth. Dario Modi spoke to the UN Security Council warning about his own industry. I see two main categories of risk. The first is misuse of AI models. For example, misuse by bioterrorists to create biological weapons. The second risk is loss of control. Model capabilities accelerating beyond developers' ability to control them. These questions are global in scope and concern all of humanity. They are grave enough that I believe they are important questions for this council, not just for economic or ICT ministries.

55:00Now this is the call from Dario Modi and Sam Altman. They're leading the AI race right now. Great way to keep leading that race is to say that we're all going to die if you don't create regulations that enshrine us as the global leaders in AI development. Here is Sam Altman again speaking to the UN Security Council. It doesn't matter whether people put their risk of catastrophe at 10% or 1% or 12% or 0.1% none of these levels are remotely acceptable. And we should not train models that we cannot make an extremely strong case. They will be able to keep under human control. Okay, this is just also I'm sorry going to speak before China and Russia and beg their involvement in AI is such a disaster area. I'm with Jensen Huang of Nbedia. He's speaking with the New York Times as we're crying. He says just because you're an alarmist doesn't mean that you're actually doing anything useful. Is it good or bad that we scare young people about the future of AI so much so that they don't even want to go to universities and don't want to go to college anymore because they don't think they'll get a job. Is that helpful or hurtful

56:01if it were to happen? It's hurtful. Don't think for a second just because you're an alarmist that you're doing a social good. It is not true. So I think that we ought to just all be wiser, more mature, be evidence-based, be scientific, if you wanted to be scientific, be scientific. Do the science, do the science, but alarming people, making claims that don't, they simply, they're track record is horrible. I mean, he is right about that and he says, listen, if you don't like how it's developing then don't release your product. I mean, like why are all the rest of us bound by regulations you want to write while you're the ones claiming you're the danger? Well, in that case they shouldn't release the product. That's a simple answer. If you're going to build a car, a self-driving car, and let's say it's a robot taxi, and there's a really difficult condition, and it just as an engineer we just have no idea how to solve this problem

57:04because these cars are not programmed, they're trained. And so we have no idea how to train these cars and we have no idea how to align them to the safety standards that are expected on the road. So what's the answer? Don't ship it. These products were not released. What's that? These products were not released. So now it's coming back to engineering problem again. And so the one is one you have to real cause it. Second, you have to think about what's what you could have done, what's the solution for it. And then in the future, you just improve your process so that you could you could avoid this from happening again. Okay, so again, I'm with Johnson Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, also spoke on a show called New Things with Joanna Stern, where he talked about the fact that there is in fact a commercial incentive for people to not blow up earth. Here he was. You know, with the muse launch that we just did, we had a version of it that was quite good a few months ago. And we wanted to make sure that we really nailed all the privacy and security parts of it because part of this is that if you're building a product, like people aren't going to

58:06want to use it if it doesn't do what they want, you know, we want to get to a world where, you know, everyone can can benefit from this. And it's it's just not going to happen. People aren't going to adopt it if they if they don't trust it. I mean, he is right about all of that. By the way, the developments in tech are so extraordinary that many of the problems that we have been arguing about are going to become irrelevant fairly quickly. So one of the big developments in tech that people have been arguing about is data sensors. Oh my gosh, our precious farmlands are being taken. It's going to use all our water. None of that is true, but it may be obviated by the fact that Google just apparently announced that next Thursday, they're going to send an experimental satellite into orbit that will have enough computing power to answer simple AI queries from space. So basically, this is space-based data centers now. Right. This is the beginning. Well, if you got the data centers in space, you don't have to worry about it in the middle Iowa, do you? Tech development is extraordinary. And again, it is the biggest economic bat in American history, as the Wall Street Journal points out that the future of the American economy is largely reliant

59:06on the success of AI as a productivity grower. If you look at infrastructure spending as a percentage of GDP in major periods in the past, between 1870s and 1890s, we spent about 2.24 percent of American GDP on building railroads. In the 50s and 70s, we spent in that period, 1.13 percent of American GDP was spent on building highways. Today, almost 4 percent of American GDP is being spent on building AI infrastructure. So this is a massive bet. And this is why killing the AI industry on behalf of people who are very, very warm to China is a terrible idea. Okay, time for a cultural note here because we are nearing the end of the week. So the New York Times has now put out a list of its 100 best shows of the 21st century. And I regret to inform you that the list is crap. The list is not good. There are many, many shows that they put in their top 10 that probably do not belong in the top 50. And there are shows that certainly belong in the top 10 that don't make the top 60.

1:00:06Okay, so their top 10 is breaking bad in the wire. There's always an argument, right? Those are always the top two. This is like arguing a baseball over you know, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, like who are the best hitters in major league history? Right, it's always the same name to the very top. Then things start to get not great. So at number three, they have madmen. Madmen is one of the most overrated shows in the history of television. I know this is somewhat unpopular opinion. Madmen's first season is well written and then it is just repetitive beyond belief. You're following a bunch of obnoxious people who are miserable because of course the 1950s we are being told 1950s and 60s or a time of true misery in America beneath the placid surface of American life. And require the joy of the 1960s and 70s to fix America and put her in the right direction. That of course is not true. Madmen, they have it number three. Number four, they have a succession. Now again, I liked succession. I like to just find but the reality is that succession is kind of a sitcom meaning that every episode is sort of a repeat of the prior episode and it's really obnoxious people being obnoxious. Doesn't mean I didn't

1:01:10enjoy it, but there's no effective arc in succession. The characters kind of end up where they started as characters. Nobody has an actual transition in character, a development in character. Well, what makes breaking bad and the wire so good is that you see characters change over time and you see a revelation into the thing you didn't know that much about right? That is what makes the show is really interesting. There's an interesting sort of moral gray area that is brought to the floor and then clarified in both of those shows that is not true in succession where everybody who is corporate minded is basically disgusting and they remain disgusting for the entire show. Fleabag is number five on the New York Times list. Fleabag was again this critically acclaimed but not particularly well watched show. And again, putting that in number five is a wild over eight. They've got Game of Thrones at number six, which I think is probably about right. Number seven, they have Veepe again, an extremely overrated comedy, starting Julia Lewis-Dreyfus. It is funny, it's entertaining, but it doesn't belong in the top

1:02:1310, probably not. I'd put Veepe in probably my top 30. I'm not sure that it makes the top 20. They've got 30 Rock at number eight, which again, I like 30 Rock. There's no way it's the eighth best show of the 2000s. It's just not real. And nine, they have curb your enthusiasm and at 10, they have Atlanta. Atlanta is the biggest stretch in this whole group. I'm not sure that seven people have ever watched Atlanta. That is not so that list, I would say that they got the top two basically right, kind of, but the rest of the list, meh. Okay, so here are the actual best TV shows since the turn of the century. Number one, which they have rated number 28 is Banda Brothers. Banda Brothers is the best thing that has ever been aired on TV because they included a mini series here. Banda Brothers is a masterpiece. Banda Brothers tells the story of the 101st airborne from training all the way through the end of World War II. And every episode is a gem. All the acting is incredible. The cinematography is wonderful. The writing is terrific. You will come away with a better feeling about your country and about America. It's awesome. Banda Brothers is easily the best thing that has ever been on TV. It is not a particular

1:03:17would close call actually. So Banda Brothers at number one. Number two, it got Breaking Bad. Bans Gilligan said that it was the story of taking Mr. Chips and turning him into Scarface. That's accurate. Breaking Bad is wonderful. Breaking Bad, you know, as somebody who loves film and TV, the thing I like the best about Breaking Bad is that no stupid decisions are made by the writer. As a matter of plot and character, they don't take the easy out when they write Breaking Bad, where somebody just does a dumb thing to get you out of trouble. It's just clever. Number three, I have the wire. Again, those two are unarguable. Number four, which they had at number 19 is Chernobyl. Chernobyl is a mini series about the meltdown at Chernobyl, which is an extraordinary look by Craig Mazin at the devolution of the Soviet system and why Chernobyl melts down and what happens when bureaucracy takes over and all the rest. It is extraordinary. It's a great, great series. If you haven't seen it on HBO, Chernobyl, one of the best things in the history of TV. I've got that at number four. They had at number 19, which is crazy. I had Game of Thrones at number six. Now again, I say that kind of with an asterisk because the reality is that the first three seasons of Game of

1:04:19Thrones are kind of wonderful and then it just falls apart. The last season of Game of Thrones is not good at all. So I've got Game of Thrones at number five. They had it at number six. Okay, I've got Severance, which is still airing, so we'll see where it ends up. I've got that at number six. Why? I've watched, I've seen so many TV shows and so many movies. I love it when the writers take me a place. I didn't think they're going and where I just have to sort of trust where they're going and the writing is so good that I do trust where they're going. Severance is that show. Severance is incredibly clever. It's really compelling. It's one of those shows where if you watch the first couple of episodes, you will have to watch all the rest and you will be waiting with baited breath for the next week to see what happens. It's a mystery based show in the same way as my number seven show lost. So lost again is a show kind of like Game of Thrones in the sense. The first three seasons of lost are extraordinary and then it kind of falls apart. But the first three seasons revolutionized TV. They made serialized TV a thing. And so lost, which again, my entire family would get together, including my grandmother. We don't get together. They was on Wednesday night and we'd watch lost

1:05:19at my parents house. They have that at number 22. I've got that at number seven. I've got the office at number eight because the office again, probably the best American comedy of all time, certainly most iconic. And they had it 11. So not that far off. Number nine, downtown Abby. So downtown Abby is terrific. They had it at number 52. I don't see 51 better shows than downtown Abby. Again, maybe I'm being a populist here. I think this is a fairly popular opinion. Down Abby is beautifully written. It's wonderfully acted. It's really entertaining. Again, the last couple of seasons didn't work as well as the first season, but the first season is great. Okay, then I've got the shield at number 10. Again, the shield revolutionized TV in the same way as the wire. So they were kind of two sides of the same coin. They've got that at number 70, which is unthinkable. The shield is not the 70th best show since 2000. That's ridiculous. So check out the shield is aired on FX originally. And then I'll give you a couple of extras. So the bear, which they rank at number 74. I have it number 11, not because all three seasons

1:06:24of the bear were a masterpiece, but because the bear is responsible for the single best episode of TV, probably ever aired. It's called Forks. It happens in season one. And it's just great. First of all, the bear is competent. It's about how if you are good at things, this can also help you become a better person. And that's what happens to one of the main characters rich. You use kind of a drunk and a derelict and an idiot. And he's put in a position to learn to be good at things. And his character transition over the course of the series is wonderful. It's the thing that makes the series worthwhile. That episode Forks is something you should show to pretty much every teenager. Because what it says is that hard work, perfectionism, focus on competence is a good thing. And finally, I'll give you one extra one another extra show gun. Show gun, which they have ranked at 86, but beautifully produced and wonderfully acted and just incredible to watch. Show gun, which came out I think last year is great. All right. So those are the top TV shows already folks coming up. You think we're done, but we are not.
