FIGHT NIGHT: Disney vs. DeSantis
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Alrighty, so Disney apparently wants to make an in-kind contribution to Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign.
They've now filed a lawsuit attempting to stop Ron DeSantis from stripping them of their magical special privileges that have been granted to them over the course of the last half century in the state of Florida.
Remember, all of this began because Disney decided to insert itself, for no good reason at all, into the debate over the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act.
Which was designed to simply prevent the sexual orientation and gender identity indoctrination of small school children K-8.
It originally started K-3, now it's extended maybe K-8, K-12 here in the state of Florida.
And Disney decided to sign into that debate.
And then, after they were basically wrapped on the knuckles by Governor DeSantis and said, listen, stay out of this, this is not your purview.
After they did that, they decided to double down on all of that.
And then they paid the price.
And the price they paid is that they have a special district made just for them, the Reedy Creek District.
It was special tax privileges.
They essentially got to run the place as their own private fiefdom.
Essentially, they got to do all the zoning.
It was not an elected body.
It was essentially just a giant tract of land, a huge tract of land that was owned by Disney and governed by Disney.
And DeSantis and the Florida legislature, they said, listen, you do not get to act as sort of a Vatican inside the state of Florida in which you get to dispose, dispense of papal doctrines to the rest of the state of Florida.
That's not what you're here for.
You are here to provide services to the citizens of Florida, but you are not here to essentially be your own political body in the state of Florida.
You have a privilege no one else in Florida has.
There are lots of theme parks in Orlando, Universal Studios in Orlando, SeaWorlds in Orlando.
There's a lot going on in that particular area.
You can just go back to being like any of the other competitive businesses over there and you don't get your special magical tax district.
And so Disney now is saying that this is discriminatory.
And no, no, they get they get to do whatever they want.
They get to not only get the special tax.
Exemptions and all of the all the abilities to run their own giant tract of land.
Not only do they get to do that, they then get to insert themselves in every political controversy in the state of Florida, whether it affects their business or whether it does not affect their business.
Now, listen, on a normal level, should businesses be able to speak out about politics whenever they want?
Sure, they should.
And then the consequence would be just like what happened with Bud Light.
Boycotts on the business.
And Disney, of course, has taken it on the chin in terms of the generalized market over the course of the last several years, in no small part because they've decided that the sexual indoctrination of children is apparently on their radar, something they need to do.
Wokeness has overcome their better business sense.
But there's something else going on here, too, which is that Disney was benefiting Again, a special arrangement with the state of Florida in which they were exempt from certain rules that all other businesses in the state of Florida were exempt from.
And that comes with strings.
Anytime you make a deal with the government, that comes with strings.
That is true for everyone.
You take some sort of special bag of cash from the government, there will be strings attached.
This is true for literally all the things.
It's true even for state governments.
This is famously how the federal government Got state governments to raise the drinking age in a lot of states.
They basically said your federal highway funding is going to be linked to the drinking age.
There are always strings attached.
Disney should have known that.
Disney did not know that.
And so they got clocked over the head with a two by four.
Well, now they're filing a lawsuit.
Filed in federal court in Tallahassee, it came in minutes after a new board that DeSantis named to oversee the district, covering the company's theme parks, declared null and void agreements that Disney struck in February.
Right before this new government board was supposed to come in and oversee Reedy Creek, Disney signed a bunch of supposedly binding contracts that would essentially tie the hands of the new board in governing the area.
And the new board came in, they're like, you know what?
No, that's not how any of this works.
You don't get to sign a contract on your way out that binds us.
Because we fundamentally disagree with the idea that you essentially rule the place now.
You don't.
The suit alleges violations of several provisions of the US Constitution and names the five DeSantis-appointed board members and other officials.
It says the board's action Wednesday was the latest strike against the company.
The complaint says this government action was patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional.
But the governor and his allies have made clear they do not care and will not stop.
Now, again, this is actually, what Sands did here is significantly less intrusive
than what, for example, Mayor Thomas Menino is than the mayor of Boston did
back when Chick-fil-A was essentially thrown out of the city.
He said, we will not even zone you.
We won't like, we'll make special exemptions just for you.
Meaning every other business will have their business approved,
but we don't want you in the city.
Rahm Emanuel in Chicago said something similar about Chick-fil-A because the founder of Chick-fil-A
was a backer of traditional marriage.
And nobody said boo on the left at the time, obviously.
Even though this was obviously anti-business discrimination, meaning it was a specific business that was being given special rules.
In this particular case, a business with special rules already applying to it is having those special rules taken away.
That's the whole point.
Terran Fenske, spokesperson for Governor DeSantis said, quote,
We are unaware of any legal right a company has to operate its own government or maintain
special privileges not held by other businesses in the state. She says this lawsuit is yet another
unfortunate example of their hope to undermine the will of the Florida voters and operate outside
the bounds of the law. Disney is asking the court to declare the board's actions unlawful
and unenforceable for various reasons, including violating U.S.
Constitution's Contract Clause.
Again, first time the left has cited the Contract Clause in decades.
Unlawfully taking Disney's property rights in violation of the Takings Clause.
Again, you don't have a property right to a special privilege that you got from the government in the first place.
And arbitrarily voiding Disney's agreements in violation of the Due Process Clause.
Well, no, I mean, there was due process.
You lost an election, essentially, and now you pay the price.
That's not that's not the way this works.
It argues the board also flouted the company's First Amendment rights by retaliating against it.
Juan Carlos Plantes, former Republican lawmaker who has taught law school courses about Reedy Creek's legal structure, said the lawsuit makes some persuasive arguments.
He said, I think Disney has an extremely strong case.
They have an extremely impressive legal team, including Daniel Petrocelli, who's represented a host of high-profile clients.
Republican State Representative Randy Fine, who last year filed one of the bills targeting Disney's district, said the company's sued in the belief it's entitled to special privileges, quote, to equate being treated in the same way as your competitors to punishment, shows a stunning level of arrogance that will not stand in the state of Florida.
Again, the apparent trigger for the lawsuit was action on Wednesday morning by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board of Supervisors, which now oversees Walt Disney World Resort.
In February, DeSantis signed into law legislation renaming the district and ending Disney's control of it, and they criticized agreements cemented by Disney in February, and they came in and they just voided the agreement.
So we'll see how this plays out legally.
But one of the things that's fascinating is how this is sort of broken into the open inside of the Republican primary.
And you can see how Republicans are lining up with sort of the old school Republican Party, which is very nervous about corporate power, and the new school Republican Party, which is like, no, I think that if you decide that you are going to poke your head up in areas where you do not belong, Especially being given government privileges, you will be clocked for it.
We'll get to that momentarily.
First, the economy, as you may have noticed under Joe Biden, it sucks.
It's not good.
And so if you can lock in prices on things right now, that's really not a terrible idea.
That's particularly true when you're talking about something vital to your life, like the best meat in all the land.

So, the reaction to Disney vs. DeSantis has been quite fascinating inside the Republican primary.
So first of all, there is a new Harvard-Harris poll asking voters if they approve or disapprove of DeSantis' actions to limit Disney's self-government.
Overall, 56% of Americans supported DeSantis' attempt to limit Disney's autonomy.
Now again, it's all in the phraseology of the poll.
So if you had phrased this as, do you approve of Ron DeSantis' attempt to crack down on Disney's free speech?
Then presumably most Americans would be like, I never heard of anything like that.
That sounds bad.
But if you actually turn it into what it is, which is Disney taking away special privileges that were given to Disney in the first place, DeSantis doing that.
Then all of a sudden, the poll numbers jump.
So 56% support, 44% oppose.
Among independents, 54% support, 46% oppose.
Even among Democrats, 42% support the special tax district exemptions being taken away from Disney.
So this is actually a broadly popular policy.
The media are trying to play this as though this is not a popular policy.
That, of course, is not true.
But what's fascinating is the dynamic inside the Republican Party.
So, so far, a bunch of Republicans who are running for president have stacked up against DeSantis on this thing, presumably because they are trying to run against DeSantis, but also because they seem very uncomfortable with the idea of challenging corporate power in the political sphere.
Which is very strange.
Now, again, I'm a person who's about as laissez-faire on economics as it is possible to get.
I'm very, very free market oriented.
With that said, when corporations decide to become essentially tools of the Democratic Party, And when they do so, while having special tax districts, it is not out of bounds to take away their special privileges.
Those special privileges do not come with no strings attached, obviously.
And Democrats have been playing this game with corporations for literally years, where they take sort of quasi-control of corporations through threat of legislation.
They do this all the time.
This is what they did with social media.
You wonder why?
YouTube, all these companies decided they were suddenly going to start censoring people from saying things about five, six years ago.
It's because Democrats in the aftermath of 2016 decided pretty openly they were going to threaten every major social media corporation with the prospect of legislation coming down on their heads if they didn't do the bidding of the Democrats.
So to pretend that the Democrats are not already playing this game is silly.
They've been playing this game for years and years and years, which is why corporate America has responded by moving in a left-leaning direction.
If you wish to establish parity, there has to be equal and opposite pressure from the right.
Donald Trump has already come out and said he doesn't understand why DeSantis is going after Disney, which is a very weird move for Trump.
Again, Trump being the guy who's supposedly very in the know about business and a person who, as a real estate investor, has worked closely with local governments, he understands.
I mean, this was his pitch in 2016.
He would say pretty openly, I know how the sausage is made, and so I'm the person who can essentially unmake the sausage because I know how it was made in the first place.
Now he is siding with Disney.
Another person who is siding with Disney is apparently Nikki Haley.
Again, I like Nikki.
I mean, I think that Nikki is a wonderful person.
She did a great job as U.N.
ambassador.
However, her take on this is really peculiar.
What's even more peculiar is the language she's using, and it's leading people to speculate today that Governor Haley is actually lobbying to be Trump's VP.
The reason people are picking up on this is, listen to the language she uses here.
So she goes on Fox News, and she essentially criticizes DeSantis for going after Disney.
They're alleging that the Republican governor has waged a, quote, relentless campaign to weaponize government power over the company.
What is your reaction to that as we still have yet to see him jump officially into the race?
You know, as governor, I took a double-digit unemployment state and I turned it into an economic powerhouse.
Businesses were my partners.
Because if you take care of your businesses, you take care of your economy, your economy takes care of the people, and everyone wins.
And so that's the way we dealt with it.
South Carolina was a very anti-woke state.
It still is.
And if Disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs to South Carolina and bring the billions of dollars with them, I'll let them know.
I'll be happy to meet them in South Carolina.
And then she went on, and this is the key part of the clip, she went on to suggest that DeSantis was being quote-unquote sanctimonious.
Now the reason that that is important is because that is the exact language of Donald Trump, right?
That is his dumb nickname for DeSantis.
DeSanctimonious!
She actually tweeted out, Hey Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000 jobs if you want to leave Florida.
We've got great weather, great people, it's always a great day in South Carolina.
South Carolina is not woke, but we're not sanctimonious about it either.
Now again, the use of the word sanctimonious is...
Obviously, redolent of the Trump nickname for DeSantis.
So people are speculating, okay, Nikki is not really very competitive in any of the polls right now.
She's down in the mid single digits.
And so maybe she's actually just lobbying Trump sort of from the outside by attacking DeSantis on all of this.
Now, one thing is important to note.
When you say we partner with business, yes, government makes it easier for business to do business.
But not when the businesses decide that they are going to deploy their resources against the voting will of the people of the state.
It is one thing for a business to lobby for lower tax rates or to lobby if they want for higher tax rates.
It's one thing for corporations to lobby for different labor laws.
It is another thing for corporations to try to sign into a debate over whether kids aged seven should be forced in public school to learn that boys can be girls and girls can be boys.
If corporations start to do that sort of stuff, then as a Republican, it is not your job to say, we partner with this business because this business creates jobs.
It is your job to protect the children who you are supposedly elected to protect.
It is very odd to me that you are going to allow allegiance to a sort of business mentality to overrule basic common sense and, you know, essentially your most important job, protection of the innocence of kids.
It's a very weird move.
And the fact that there are so many Republicans who are very awkward about this is one of the reasons why, by the way, Trump was elected in the first place in 2016, running as an outsider.
One of the things that really is kind of phenomenal and interesting about what's happening in the 2024 election is that many of the people who signed on to the Trump train, very early adapters, Peter Thiel, for example, he was an early adapter on the Trump train.
They said Trump is bringing something new.
Trump is shaking up the nature of politics.
He's breaking some of the boundaries with regard to sort of the corporate Republican matrix.
Suddenly he's reaching out to blue collar people and he's saying corporations, you know, you guys take a backseat.
That was sort of the pitch.
A lot of those same people are very uncomfortable with the thing that actually drove Trump in 2016.
What drove Trump in 2016 was not just that people were upset with sort of the corporate Republican matrix.
One of the things that drove that is the fact that people thought that corporations were not just oriented against them in terms of international trade or something.
They really thought corporations, correctly, are motivated against them in terms of the way they actually live.
The dirty little secret of 2016 when it comes to the actual issues is that social policy drove as much, if not more, than economic policy.
Everybody keeps trying to intellectualize the Trump movement in 2016 into an economic policy argument.
It was not an economic policy argument.
It was an argument of whether there were elites in our society who disdained the common man, who look at the people who go to church in Indiana and say, those people work at a factory, those people go to church, those people don't have my values on same-sex marriage, transgenderism, and woke race issues, and so those people are bad.
And then Trump came along and said, I don't think you're bad.
I think you're good.
And a lot of those people resonated to Trump for specifically that purpose.
So it's very weird to see a lot of the people who originally adopted Trump, apparently including Trump when it comes to this Disney issue, suddenly running away from that issue.
That's not an issue you should run away from.
That's an issue you should embrace.
And by the way, I mean, Trump is leading DeSantis right now in the polls.
He could easily do that.
Giving DeSantis an opening to attack him is very weird politics for sure.
And again, he speaks.
It's Republican discomfort with its own socially conservative base.
That Republican discomfort with the socially conservative base is going to be a real net negative for them.
It's the reason why there's a story yesterday that the RNC at their latest event actually was serving Bud Light.
Are you guys out of your minds?
What are you doing?
Why would you possibly think that is a good idea?
We'll get to more on this in just one second.

Again, GenuCell.com slash Shapiro.
So again, this sort of divide that's emerged in the Republican Party between the people who are comfortable with the social conservatives and the people who are very uncomfortable with the social conservatives, that divide is going to be a real problem for the Republican Party going forward.
Because the reality is that as the social left moves ever, ever more to the crazy left, as that happens more and more, there will be more people who now find themselves in the quote-unquote socially conservative box.
You're now finding people who consider themselves socially conservative, at least to the extent they would vote Republican, simply because they reject the idea that boys can be girls and girls can be boys.
See, right now, inside the Republican Party, there are a bunch of people who are kind of okay, for example, with same-sex marriage, but are really, really opposed to the hard left and their attempts to indoctrinate kids into the cult of gender identity.
If Republicans run away from that, which is what they're doing when they run away from the Disney fight, I don't know what the logic is.
And it's one of the things that has led to the rise of populism.
So Tucker Carlson, last night, he finally put out his first statement after being fired.
by Fox News. So first he was photographed. I mean, I got to say, Tucker's very good at
this. And yesterday Tucker was photographed. He was kind of jetting around Boca Grande,
which is in the other side of Florida from where I am in South Florida. And he was jetting
around with his wife laughing, which is, you know, very Tucker and very typical and showing
that he's not been broken by his firing.
Now, Tucker put out a statement yesterday, like a spoken statement. Here he was talking.
When honest people say what's true calmly and without embarrassment.
They become powerful.
At the same time, the liars who've been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker.
That's the iron law of the universe.
True things prevail.
Where can you still find Americans saying true things?
There aren't many places left, but there are some, and that's enough.
As long as you can hear the words, there is hope.
See you soon.
And see you soon, obviously, is a threat to many of the people who fired Tucker in the first place.
But the reason for Tucker's popularity now is the same as the reason for Trump's popularity back in 2016, which is he is not presumably going to let anybody prevent him from saying the things that he thinks are true, even if they are, quote-unquote, corporate interests.
This is Tucker's pitch.
This is his entire pitch.
The reason for the sort of durable popularity of Tucker versus some other people who have sort of fallen out of the public view Is because he is channeling a feeling among many Republicans that they have been abandoned by the people at the top of their own party, that they've been abandoned by many of their leaders, that those people are more concerned with their own sort of priorities than they are with the priorities of their own voters.
Tucker represents that.
That's why many people were so angry at his firing, obviously.
And so, you know, the fact that there are Republicans in the race who are playing sort of the other side of the Disney table, it's bewildering.
It's bad strategy.
I don't, I don't understand it.
The Asa Hutchinson Republicans are not, they don't exist.
I don't know who thinks they do.
And running as sort of slightly harder edged Asa Hutchinson ain't going to do it.
Asa Hutchinson is the former governor of Arkansas who's launched a quixotic campaign to run for the presidency.
And it's just a giant fail.
Here was his campaign launch speech yesterday.
I bring that same vigor to a fight in another battle, and that battle is for the future of our country and the soul of our party.
Today, I am announcing that I am a candidate for president of the United States.
In this campaign for president, I stand alone in terms of my experience, my record, and leadership.
I knew John Kasich just dropped.
That's exciting stuff right there.
Okay, guess what?
He's going nowhere.
He's going nowhere because most Republicans in the base understand the fight.
Asa Hutchinson does not appear to understand the fight.
Okay, just one second.
We'll get to what Republicans are actually fighting, namely a doddering old man with the universal support of the mainstream media first.
The Silicon Valley Bank failure, for people who didn't notice it, what actually happened there is that basically Silicon Valley Bank bet on the credibility of the U.S.
government.
They bought a bunch of bonds, then the U.S.
government inflated, and they raised the interest rates because of the inflation to cut down on the inflation.
And when they did that, all of the old bonds that Silicon Valley Bank had bought were now worthless, and so they caved in.
All their assets were just worth nothing, basically.
Well, that is the vault of the federal government.
And this is what happens when you trust the federal government with regard to things like inflation and with regard to things like the dollar.
It's one of the reasons why it is smart to diversify into things like precious metal, which is why I've bought gold from Birch Gold in preparation for those uncertain economic times.
Gold can help you hedge against inflation.
Its value tends to rise when the cost of living increases.
Unlike other assets like paper currency, the supply of gold is limited and can help maintain its value over time.

Meanwhile, all these Republicans who are competing to run against Joe Biden, they better understand their own base and the mood of the country.
Joe Biden doesn't have to understand anything.
He doesn't even have to understand where he is at any given time because the legacy media have decided to just defend him.
Since 2008, the real shift in the country.
You want to know one of the reasons why the country has split so far apart.
One of the reasons is the legacy media used to at least bat an eye toward the truth.
Then after Barack Obama was elected, they just decided it was now their job to defend the president.
That was it.
It was over.
You saw the same thing in the world of comedy.
Comedy and journalism in many ways mirror each other in terms of sort of their cultural feel.
You remember, before 2008, SNL used to actually make fun of Democrats sometimes.
Then Obama was elected, and comedians came out and they said things like, There's just no way to there's no way to make jokes about this guy.
He's just too magical.
It's almost almost terrible to make jokes about him.
It's like making fun of God.
If they actually believed in God, they make fun of God all the time.
But this is this was there.
The journalists did the exact same thing after Obama was elected.
It was their job to make sure that the great light bringer was always defended.
Well, now they've just carried on that routine because it went straight from Obama's the great light bringer who must be defended to Donald Trump is Satan and therefore must be defeated.
And now moving forward into 2024, they're maintaining the Trump is Satan and must be defeated.
And they're also trying to hang very awkwardly that halo on a doddering old fool who doesn't know where he is at least 37% of the time.
It's amazing to watch them try to turn Joe Biden into Barack Obama.
It's very weird.
And obviously Joe Biden is not.
He's not a talented politician.
He's 80 years old.
He's losing his faculties.
Yesterday, for example, Joe Biden actually lied about the hospital where he was born.
Think about it this way.
My grandpop, who I never met, he died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born.
No, that's not true.
To be clear though, you just said, I know him well.
Did Donald Trump's decision to run affect yours?
Biden wasn't born until the following year, November 1942, in a completely different state,
Scranton, Pennsylvania. But again, none of that matters because Biden is only running,
presumably because they think Trump's on the other side. So here's Joe Biden basically admitting that
yesterday. He was asked, would he be running if Trump was not running on the other side?
He said, I don't know anything about him.
To be clear, though, you just said, I know him well. Did Donald Trump's decision to run
affect yours? Would you be running if he wasn't? Yeah, I think I still would be running if he
I do know him well.
He's not hard to know, as you know.
You know him well, too.
And the question is whether or not... Look, there's more to finish the job.
We have an opportunity to put ourselves in a position where we are economically and politically secure for a long time.
Oh, so yeah, he wouldn't be running.
He would anyway, probably, except for not.
He would not.
If Trump were not running, it is very doubtful that Joe Biden would be running right now.
But how deeply in his pocket are the media?
I mean, it really is incredible.
So yesterday, video emerge of Joe Biden taking out of his pocket A sheet.
Okay, we're gonna get to the contents of the sheet in just a moment.
This is during the Q&A.
So, he takes out of his pocket a sheet.
It is a cheat sheet.
On it is a picture of the Los Angeles Times White House reporter, Courtney Subramanian.
Not just a picture of her.
And it has, like, her actual name pronounced out there.
Su-bra-man-ian.
Los Angeles Times.
Picture of her.
Question number one.
Foreign policy slash semiconductor manufacturing.
And then it actually has like a transcript of her question.
The reporter then asked, your top economic priority has been to build up U.S.
domestic manufacturing in competition with China, but your rule is against expanding ship manufacturing in China that's hurting South Korean companies that rely heavily on Beijing.
So he takes it out.
He's basically got a transcript of the question and that's exactly the question he receives.
Now we're going to take some questions.
The first question is from Courtney of the Los Angeles Times.
That's amazing.
So they're literally pre-screening questions from the journalists for this dullard.
With pictures.
With pictures.
Of the journalists.
Also, it is amazing, every single time they print out something for him, they treat him like he is a three-year-old child.
It says on it, every time it says YOU, it says she's going to ask YOU.
YOU is all in caps, as though the man can't read.
It's an amazing thing.
This is the President of the United States that we're talking about right here.
So, the way the media are now dealing with this White House is Joe Biden refuses to do a press conference where he just answers open questions.
When he does answer questions, he has a pre-approved list of journalists.
I mean, he's betrayed this several times before.
He keeps going in conference, being like, hey, tell me who I can call on, so I'm going to call on you.
Bob, let me read the transcript of your question.
And then the journalists just go along with this.
They're totally fine with it, apparently.
Now, what makes this significantly worse is the fact that the media give zero craps at all.
Zero craps at all about their own.
So why has there not been, as far as I'm aware, a single serious question to Joe Biden about his handling of the situation concerning Evan Gershkowitz?
Evan Gershkovich, rather.
So why has there been no serious question about this?
So Gershkovich is, of course, the Wall Street Journal reporter who has now essentially been kidnapped and held in prison by the Russians.
So now you have three different media outlets.
This would be the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times all putting out an ad with hashtag I stand with Evan.
They are putting this ad in all three of their papers in full page color ad urging support of the Biden administration in fighting for the release of Gershkovich.
The ad's running for free in the national editions of all three papers.
They say we continue to be shocked and outraged over the wrongful arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was imprisoned by the Russian government for no reason other than news gathering.
As editors and publishers of some of America's largest news organizations, we are united in calling for his immediate release.
Reporting is not a crime.
And then they say, Wow, strong words there guys.
You encourage support from the President of the United States.
Wow.
I mean, don't, don't, don't bruise your knuckles there.
and the importance of a free press.
We also encourage support from the US government, including President Biden and the White House.
Wow, strong words there, guys.
You encourage support from the President of the United States.
Wow.
I mean, don't bruise your knuckles there.
That's getting pretty harsh.
But they won't ask him a single question.
So all of these newspapers will submit their questions in advance to the current president of the United States about all other topics.
But none of them will ask him straight up about the kidnapping and imprisonment of an American journalist.
But they'll take out ads in their own newspapers to do this sort of stuff.
Don't you know anyone at the White House?
I feel like you should actually know people at the White House, since apparently you work for them.
It's truly an embarrassment.
The media, they are an embarrassment.
That is amazing, amazing stuff.
You want to know why Joe Biden thinks he can sleepwalk his way to re-election?
This would be the reason when you have the entire media who have been activated on your side.
It means there are no harsh questions about the way you run your policy.
There is now no distinction between the Democratic Party, the legacy media.
I mean, seriously, Jen Psaki moved directly from the White House to MSNBC doing precisely the same job.
And the Dolts over at The View.
Here is Whoopi and The View yesterday saying it's time to fall in line behind the great leader.
Sure, he's wandering into walls.
We might bump our heads together with him, but the collective IQ points that tally less than double digits over at The View, they say it's time to fall in line, gang.
Democrats, I don't know why you're talking about who's... The person to do the job is doing the job.
You get behind him and we won't have a problem.
The minute you start making inroads of maybe this person or maybe this person, we're done for.
So make a decision.
Make a decision.
Also, he needs another four years to finish the job.
You can't fight fascism in four years only.
You need eight years for that.
You can't fight fascism in four years.
I mean, technically speaking, America did fight fascism in four years.
Like with actual soldiers.
I mean, just put it anyway.
We entered the war in 1941.
The war was over by 1945.
So technically you can.
I mean, like, but put aside the technical history, which I wouldn't expect Joy Behar to know because she literally knows zero things.
That's an amazing thing.
She needs to finish the job of fighting fascism.
Oh my God, these people.
But there's no distinction.
Again, Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg are exactly the same as the editors at the New York Times, Washington Post, and apparently members of the Wall Street Journal, at least the news gathering side.
Amazing stuff there.
This is what Republicans are up against.
And you know what they can't do at this point?
Kowtow to corporate interests in order to placate those corporate interests.
It's an absurdity on its face.
In just one second, we'll get to the continuing incompetence of Joe Biden's team, because it truly is quite amazing.
We have a very cute dog.
His name is Happy.
Happy is a wonderful... He just had his...
The groomer came.

Such a nice dog.
We want Happy to live a long, healthy, happy life.
Which is why we started giving him rough greens every morning.
The dog food you've been giving your dog, that is dead food.

So there are many things that the media should be paying attention to.
friends, they're hosting a 2023 NFL draft live stream tonight, Thursday, April 27th.
They'll be taking bets, providing in-depth analysis on draft picks and the upcoming season.
They'll also be having some very special guests tune in at 7 45 PM Eastern time.
You're not going to want to miss what they will do if they hit 100,000 subscribers during the
stream. So there are many things that the media should be paying attention to. Obviously, there
is a kidnapped journalist who they don't seem to care enough about to actually ask questions of
the Biden administration.
But they also will ask no difficult questions of the Biden administration on subjects like the transing of the children.
So the Department of Justice, the federal DOJ, is now directly challenging a Tennessee law that bans the hormonal sterilization and surgical mutilation of minors.
This is what your federally elected, federally funded Department of Justice does.
This is what they now do.
They've put out a press release calling this, quote, critical medically necessary care for transgender youth.
They say the Justice Department today filed a complaint challenging Tennessee Senate Bill 1, a recently enacted law that denies necessary medical care to youth based solely on who they are.
No, actually, it bans it to everyone.
No matter who you are, if you are a boy, we're not going to shoot you full of estrogen and stunt your growth.
And we are not going to then chop off your penis.
It doesn't matter how you identify.
Actually, that's what it means.
The complaint alleges that SB1's ban on providing certain medically necessary care to transgender minor violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, except for, again, this is a surgery and hormone treatment regimen that is not really medical.
Not only is it not really medically necessary, it's medically damaging, very obviously.
There is no evidence to suggest, none, any correlation between so-called trans-affirming care and reduction in suicidal ideation rates.
But it doesn't matter.
They're going to push this crap anyway.
The department is asking the court to issue an immediate order to prevent the law from going into effect July 1st, 2023.
SB1 makes it unlawful to provide or offer to provide certain types of medical care for transgender minors with diagnosed gender dysphoria.
Again, the fact that we are now treating a mental condition as though it is, in fact, not a mental condition, it is, in fact, a status.
Being transgender is like being black.
It's absurd.
It's ridiculous.
SB1's blanket ban, I mean, 80%, 80% of kids who suffer from gender dysphoria will grow out of it completely.
Many of them will just become gay.
And when was the last time somebody grew out of being a black person?
What are you even talking about?
But the likening of this to a civil rights action is amazing.
SB1's blanket ban prohibits potential treatment options that have been recommended by major medical associations for consideration.
Then they quote WPATH, which is a propaganda group that is completely disconnected from actual medicine or decency.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clark of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division says, quote, no person should be denied access to necessary medical care just because of their transgender status.
So basically, you're now telling, I mean, honestly, I don't see the limiting principle here.
So if you say that you're a drug addict, but your drug addiction is not a medical issue.
It doesn't cause you depression.
It's fine.
You're living a very happy life as a meth addict living on the streets.
Everything's cool.
Not only is it not a medical issue, it is your identity.
Your identity is that you are a meth addict.
You're a person who identifies as a meth addict.
So this means that if the government says you cannot have meth, the government is now discriminating against you and the DOJ will step in to make sure that you get your meth.
That is the equivalent argument here.
The right to consider your health and medically approved treatment options with your family and doctors is a right everyone should have, including trans children who are especially vulnerable to serious risks of depression, anxiety, and suicide.
My goodness, the evil that is now emanating.
I mean, this is truly evil stuff.
We have the federal government activating itself to make sure that screwed up parents can shoot their small children full of hormones and then move them toward the carving of a false vagina into their flesh from either a colon or the inversion of their penile tissue is insane.
I mean, this is insane garbage.
This is what Joe Biden needs four more years to do.
Wouldn't it be nice if somebody asked the Biden administration about any of this, like, with real scientific background?
Wouldn't that be, like, really nice?
But they're not.
They're not going to do any of that.
Because after all, must protect the precious.
Must protect the precious.
You also have to protect the other members of the administration who are just as incompetent.
So Kamala Harris, the absurdly incompetent Vice President of the United States.
We have a classic Kamala Harris moment here.
I mean, this is a real deep thought here from the Vice President of the United States.
She is... Kamala Harris as predictive text mechanism, as failed predictive text mechanism, is the best metaphor.
Here we go.
I think it's very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders, for us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.
I don't know.
And then we're in the future.
Yeah.
So that is a fifth grader who's been assigned a five paragraph essay in class on a book they clearly have not read.
I'm going to read you the transcript of what she just said again, because it is amazing.
She has a gift.
It's not a great gift, mind you.
But it is a gift.
Quote.
I think it's very important for us at every moment in time and certainly this moment to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present and to be able to contextualize it to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only To the past, but also to the future.
Um, what?
So, um, explain!
I wish it- Time is a flat circle.
I'll crush this beer can and I will show it to you.
That's what time is like.
What is going on?
How is this person vice president of the United States?
How?
How?
Well, we all know how.
Because she's a black woman.
And that's the thing that matters most of all.
But never you fear, she's not the only candidate.
You wonder why they're propping up Joe Biden?
Why they're almost literally saddling a corpse on a horse and then just riding him around the beaches like El Cid?
You wonder why they are doing this?
This is the reason.
The reason is because they cannot have the past connected in so many ways to the future,
but by the present interlinking like a then-dialogue. Like they can't have that lady.
They can't have her.
So who else?
We got Pete Buttigieg who's over here talking about how he likes bridges now.
I mean, that's great.
On Comedy Central, no less.
I agree with Elon Musk.
We live in a simulation.
We live in a simulation.
There's no other explanation.
Here we go.
I was testifying in the appropriations subcommittee explaining how our budget was going to help with things like railroad safety, air traffic control, and other transportation needs.
And we had to take a break so that they could all go and vote on a bill to kick transgender teenagers off of sports teams.
That was the priority for the House GOP that day.
So these things really are getting in the way of our ability to get work done.
We're literally building bridges and they're literally banning books.
Oh, and there's the Comedy Central lady.
Hmm.
It's true.
She seems very knowledgeable.
She works for Comedy Central.
Yep.
We're literally building bridges and they're literally banning books.
Okay.
I want to know why he thinks books about, like cartoon books, like they're the most, like why genderqueer has to be made available to five-year-olds so he can build a bridge.
I'm gonna need an explanation.
I mean, the dude can't even keep the planes in the air.
Can't even keep the trains from derailing.
He's like, but I'm building bridges, guys.
Go away.
Go back on paternity leave.
You were more useful there.
Meanwhile, our ATF director, I mean, again, this entire administration is just a bleep show.
The ATF director, a person named Steven Dettelbach, he was asked about the fact that you are the director of the ATF, and it turns out that the president's son obviously violated gun laws.
He got anything on that?
He's like, nope, nothing.
Should the president's son be turned over since he violated I think that's been publicly reported that that is an ongoing investigation.
Again, I am not going to comment on any ongoing investigation.
So you don't take a position on we should have equal justice, we should not have a two-tier system of justice?
I'm not able to comment on any ongoing investigation, whether it's the undercover operations that you referred to or any particular case.
I just can't comment under long-standing Department of Justice policy under Both parties' administrations on pending investigative matters.
It's true.
They've been so not leaky, and then later they'll leak out whatever they feel like.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, who is... Everyone in this administration has failed upward.
Every single human.
She was a terrible governor of Michigan, and then they thought she was going to run for president, but she had the crazy arms at the DNZ back in, I think it was 2008, and that kind of ended her.
Well, now she's back, but she says that she supports, I kid you not, all electric vehicles for the military.
We're gonna put the charging stations, lady.
We're gonna have electric tanks?
I'm gonna need a chart for you to explain how it makes our military readiness better to move away from fossil fuels that are durable and easily transportable What's the grid like in Afghanistan?
Seriously, what's the power grid like?
I want to know.
How are you going to build the Tesla power wall in the middle of nowhere, which is mostly where American vehicles are?
Here is our idiot Secretary of Energy saying that within seven years, the entire fleet of military vehicles will be electric.
Again, I'm not against electric vehicles, but you want to talk about lack of actual, practical, real-world understanding, this would be it right here.
Do you support the military adopting that EV fleet by 2030?
I do and I think we can get there as well and I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels where we know that global events such as the war in Ukraine can jack up prices for people back home.
It does not contribute to energy security.
I think energy security is achieved when we have homegrown Clean energy that is abundant like you see in Iowa.
We think that we can be a leader globally in how we have become energy independent.
We are energy independent through fossil fuels.
The durability of electric vehicles.
What is she even talking about?
It doesn't matter, no one's going to ask her any of those questions because they're all in her pocket because she works for Joe Biden.
And again, must protect the doddering elderly fool in the presidency.
Alrighty, in just a second, we'll get to the new civil rights cosplay hero that is being dropped by the Democrats.
Once again, we'll get to that momentarily first.

Meanwhile, on the trans front, Leah Thomas did something that takes a lot of balls yesterday.
When Leah Thomas decided to bash feminists who believe that women are, in fact, women.
Said they're fake feminists.
This would include, presumably, Martina Navratilova, the most famous lesbian of the last 60 years, right?
Very openly lesbian tennis champion.
Here is Leah Thomas, a dude, complaining that the ladies won't accept him, a dude, and his fully intact twig and berries.
It's obviously a little frustrating to feel that coming from your team that's supposed to have your back.
It's also frustrating in the regard that they're like, oh, we respect Leah as a woman, as a trans woman, whatever.
We respect her identity.
We just don't think it's fair.
And I think you can't really have that sort of half support where you're like, oh, I respect her as a woman here, but not here.
That's just...
Like you can't do that, you can't sort of break down me as a person into little pieces and you're like, okay, this is okay, this is okay, that's not, that's not.
It's pretending to be supportive on some level, but in reality it just, it sort of falls flat.
You can't break me down into little pieces!
That's not possible, I'm too large for that!
Yeah, Thomas.
You will be forced to swallow whole these lies.
You'll be forced to.
And if you refuse to, then they will break you on the wheel.
That is the cultural battle in which we now find ourselves.
And the fact that the media are on the other side of that cultural battle should say to Republicans, perhaps should stop kowtowing, not only to the media, but to corporate interests who continue to maintain positions that are untrue, that are absolutely false.
Okay.
Meanwhile, the debate over the debt ceiling continues.
Republicans have now passed a bill that would raise the nation's borrowing limit in exchange for cuts in government spending, aiming to jumpstart talks with President Biden ahead of an approaching deadline for the federal government to avoid default, as according to the Wall Street Journal, the bill. The razor thin margin underscored the complicated
politics expected to roil the debt ceiling debate. The Republicans limit save grow act of 2023,
who names these things by the way?
Limit save grow, what are, it has no chance of passing the democratic controlled senate because
Joe Biden refuses to engage in any sort of conversation whatsoever. The White House has
said Congress should simply raise the debt ceiling with no provisions attached, which of course is
is not how this is supposed to work.
You lost the House election.
You now have to negotiate with the people who won the House election.
Biden said, I'm happy to meet with McCarthy, but not on whether the debt limit gets extended.
That's not negotiable.
Well, I mean, under what conditions the debt limit is extended, that would be the question, is it not?
After the vote, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement, Republicans quote, must act immediately and without conditions to avoid default.
Or, or you should probably stop with the crap where you just get to dictate terms.
Because you do not.
Now again, all debt ceiling debates rely on the allegiance of the media.
If the media ever at any point actually recognized the fact that Democrats should negotiate with Republicans in good faith over this sort of thing, then the pressure would be on Democrats because Republicans passed a bill that does in fact increase the debt ceiling.
But instead, the media presumably will turn Republicans into the baddies on this one.
This is the pitch being made by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
He said the speaker should drop the brinksmanship, drop the hostage taking, come to the table of Democrats and pass a clean bill to avoid default.
So in other words, come here and do exactly what we want.
Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urged talks between McCarthy and Biden.
So Democrats are playing a dangerous game here because they're just going to continue moving forward on the premise that they will have to sacrifice nothing, not even negotiate on any of this stuff.
And then they have, it's amazing, they have the gall to quote President Reagan, quote, The United States has a special responsibility to itself and to the world to meet its obligations.
It means we have a well-earned reputation for reliability and credibility.
And then Joe Biden says, we must pay our bills.
Congressional Republicans must do that.
What do you mean you pay your bills?
You're the ones who are running up to pay our bills.
You mean by taking out another credit card?
That's not paying your bills.
It's taking on a new bill.
That's the whole point of this entire debate.
But it must it must be wonderful to just have the backstop of the legacy media to back everything you do at any time.
OK, time for some things I like and then some things that I hate.
So a lot of people.
are upset and annoyed that Anthony Fauci and Randy Weingarten are now trying to walk themselves back from the ledge where they have spent the past three years trying to mandate masks, mandate social distancing, mandate shutdowns.
A lot of people are upset with them.
I think it's hilarious, and I think it's good.
It shows they lost the debate.
The reason they're trying to walk this stuff back is because they lost.
So Anthony Fauci, who spent the last three years declaring that he himself is the science, While simultaneously saying things like every single person should mask and be mandated to, and that VAX, maybe we should have mandates, and that small children should take the VAX.
It shouldn't be optional.
Small children should take the VAX.
After recommending school closures for years on end, after recommending extraordinary restrictions on businesses, now he has the temerity to say, listen, I only made recommendations, man.
It wasn't, it wasn't me.
I wasn't the policymaker, except that you demanded the power to actually control the debate.
But I'd be angry, except that I think it's good evidence that he lost.
Here's Anthony Fauci, who lost.
Yeah, you weren't directly responsible for Prattville Elementary School closing or whatnot, but because of the recommendations that came from you and other top public health officials, those are decisions that you saw school administrators make, governors make, and you understand the influence that your recommendations had on decisions like that, right?
Well, that's true, Caitlin, but the point that I made in my response to the reporter in the New York Times article was that what it is is that there was a personification of me as a person who essentially closed everything down.
Those were public health recommendations that came from the CDC, and I have always been very supportive Of the CDC.
I was not trying to shun away from responsibility.
We made a public health recommendation based on sound public health principles.
Oh, so now you're just recommending guy.
Oh, but I thought you were the science.
I mean, if you're the science, then your recommendations should be taken as like the only thing that matters, right?
You are the science after all.
But you know what?
They're all backing off of this.
So, for example, is the American Federation of Teachers ex-Scribble leader, Randi Weingarten, the worst person in American public life?
Bar none.
She's awful on every possible issue.
Here's Randi Weingarten.
Who day in and day out is starting to look more and more like a chipmunk.
Here is Randi Weingarten slash Gilbert Gottfried talking about how remote education, she literally said this.
I mean, this is like the biggest lie.
She literally said in front of, they should go after her for perjury.
She said that they tried to stop remote education because it was not a substitute for actual school.
We spent every day from February on trying to get schools open.
We knew that remote education was not a substitute for opening schools, but we also knew that people had to be safe.
And maybe it's because I live in New York City.
I live near a hospital.
Every other minute there was an ambulance.
There was terror.
Our members were terrified.
Others were terrified.
And what we were simply looking for was clear scientific guidance.
No, you were not a believer that, for example, schools should reopen.
In fact, A couple of years ago, it was Randy Weingarten who was saying, this is in July of 2020, that it would be reckless, callous, and cruel to reopen schools.
That's a direct quote.
Reckless, callous, and cruel.
So I could be angry, or we could just all acknowledge that they lost.
Now, here's the thing for Republicans.
If you want to nominate somebody who's going to run against this stuff, perhaps you should nominate somebody who's like a reopening person.
And not somebody who split the baby.
Not somebody who hired, for example, Anthony Fauci as his lead.
Somebody who is yelling at Georgia about reopening.
Maybe you might want somebody, not gonna name names, but you might want somebody who can run against this stuff.
If it's so unpopular that now Fauci and Weingarten are running away from their own positions, maybe Republicans should run on that.
That seems like a good thing to run on.
Okay, time for some quick things that I hate.
Okay, ladies, it's time for you to boycott Maybelline.
Enough of this.
So Dylan Mulvaney has a new ad campaign.
Dylma, I've never seen a gay man get so rich off of playing a woman.
It is truly an amazing feat, here.
Here is Dylan Mulvaney, who has now done ads for Maybelline.
He is a sponsor partner of Maybelline.
It's me.
Okay, so for those who can't see, Dylan Mulvaney is now putting on the Maybelline and has transformed himself into a rather garish drag queen.
Trying to mimic the look of Audrey Hepburn but failing incredibly badly and in quite scary fashion.
Maybe it's Maybelline, maybe it's a d**k. That's the actual slogan of Maybelline.
You can't declare yourself a public figure and the face, the actual face of the men can be women movement and then not expect people to actually sound off on that.
Ladies, I'm imploring you.
Stand up for your own sex.
Seriously.
The dudes stood up for you on Bud Light.
It's dudes who drink Bud Light and they're like, nah, not okay with this.
Ladies, stand up for your own sex.
Seriously.
You're the ones who are going to pay the price when men start cosplaying as women and winning all the prizes and stuff.
So at a certain point, maybe you should stop shopping with the brands that mock you and treat you as fools and pretend that that your sex is some sort of cosplay sexual fetish.
All right, guys, the rest of the show continues right now.
You're not going to want to miss it.
We'll be jumping into the Vaunted Ben Shapiro Show Mailbag.
