THE DNC BEGINS: Free Abortions and Vasectomies!

Time	Text
	Well, today is the big day for Democrats.
	The DNC is beginning.
	No, not the DNC.
	They might be doing DNCs at the DNC.
	But no, I'm talking about like the Democratic National Convention, not dilation and curatage, the abortion procedure, which, by the way, they are in fact providing free At the DNC.
	So that is very exciting news.
	We begin with the poll recaps right now.
	Kamala Harris seems to be holding a small but steady lead nationally in a variety of polls.
	She is up currently on Donald Trump in the Washington Post ABC Ipsos poll by about 4%.
	There's another poll from CBS News that shows her up about 3%.
	Overall, right now, she is leading in the national polling, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, by about a point and a half.
	So this is still a very, very close race.
	In the five-way average, still about a point and a half.
	If you take a look at the battleground states, she's currently leading, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, in Wisconsin.
	She's dead even in Pennsylvania.
	She's leading by two in Michigan.
	Now remember, she wins those three states, she wins the election.
	It's over.
	So what that means is that Donald Trump is going to have to have a bump post the convention.
	So you can imagine that Kamala Harris will get a little bit of a bump from the convention, not much of one because honestly, It's been such a golden honeymoon period since they took Joe Biden out back and threw him over a cliff that I'm not sure how much room she has to grow post-convention.
	But they're going to try and spread the feeling of joy, the feeling of joy.
	And that feeling of joy is deeply reliant, of course, on her never ever answering a series of difficult questions.
	Now, over the weekend, she did answer one question.
	kind of hesitantly moving the calendar a little bit because she answered one
	question, kinda, and we'll take a look at that in just a moment, but overall has
	she sat for like a serious interview? Has she done a full-scale, has she done a
	full-scale actual long-form disquisition on her position?
	She has not.
	So that brings us to day 30.
	That's correct.
	She made it a full month.
	Congratulations to Kamala Harris on an amazing campaign rollout.
	A campaign rollout so amazing that we are now on day 30 of her never having to answer for her policies.
	The campaign, thus far, has been completely reliant on supposed good feelings.
	And I say supposed, because I don't know about you, but this stuff is incredibly grating to me.
	When I'm being told that it's just joy, it's all joy and happiness and joy, I just want to vomit.
	I just want to vomit.
	Because politics, as somebody who does it professionally, does not typically bring me joy.
	And the reason it doesn't bring me joy is because joy is relegated to the other parts of my life.
	You know, the parts where I have children, and I have a wife, and I have a community, and I have things that I enjoy doing.
	I do not feel joy when I see a politician.
	I do not feel joy when I see Kamala Harris dancing around like a clown with Tim Walz.
	I don't feel the warms and the fuzzies when I see Tim Walz handing Kamala Harris a bag of Doritos, but that's what they are running on.
	So over the weekend, the big clip that went viral from the Walz campaign, the Walz-Harris campaign.
	was not, in fact, Kamala Harris answering questions, as we'll see.
	When she tried to answer one question, it didn't go amazing.
	The clip that they want to go viral is he gave her a bag of Doritos because she's just like normal people.
	We're now Us Weekly.
	Politicians, they're just like you and me.
	Now, first of all, the chance that Kamala Harris got on that bus and ate those Doritos?
	Zero.
	But it doesn't matter because they're just they went to a convenience store together because they're just the regular folks.
	Here we go, Tim Walls and Kamala Harris experiencing the joy together.
	Do you see corn nuts over there Tim?
	You see corn nuts? And he gives her Doritos. So that would be a no.
	I like that she asked for corn nuts, he gives her Doritos and she's like, okay Tim, that's great.
	She is amazing at this.
	Remember, she is a historically good candidate, according to a media, that simultaneously refused to hold her to account for actually never answering for any of her trash policy positions.
	And there's a reason they don't want to hold her accountable, because the minute that she gets off script, man, she is a full-scale disaster area.
	Donald Trump says that she's not particularly bright.
	Shame, particularly bright.
	Here was Kamala Harris trying to explain the power of the significance of the passage of time and democracy.
	Man, this lady, I swear, she is a fourth grader who didn't read the school assignment and has now been asked to write a 500-word essay, and it's all gonna be one run-on sentence.
	Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy.
	The hell is she...
	As a democracy, we know there's a duality to the nature of democracy.
	Duality?
	On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact.
	What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, their freedom.
	Incredibly strong.
	And incredibly fragile.
	Like a bird.
	Like a little... like a bird, you know?
	On the one hand, so strong.
	Like a powerful champion.
	And on the other hand, so fragile.
	A sparrow.
	They could crush. She's so terrible. Okay, fine. So at one point, she did step off the bus,
	and somebody who was a little hesitant on the calendar, she was asked one question.
	The one question was, your economic policies make no sense, madam. Do you have any answer?
	Her answer is that she is going to explain to you the power of essential oils
	in the form of a pyramid scheme.
	Here we go.
	She just says, return on investment a lot.
	Now, if you ever had somebody knock on your door and try to get you involved in a pyramid scheme or an MLM, Kamala Harris is a political MLM saleswoman.
	That's what she is.
	She has no idea what in the F she's talking about, like none at all.
	So she just says, I rely, like return on investment.
	Mm.
	Return on investment over and over and over again.
	Because the more that you say it, the more it becomes real as every great investor knows.
	That's what Warren Buffett does.
	Instead of checking the fundamentals of a company, he brings in a spokesperson.
	If the spokesperson says return on investment enough times in a row,
	he just tosses a billion dollars at them.
	Okamala Harris, she knows a lot about return on investment.
	I mean, actually, she knows nothing about return on investments and she's never run a business.
	But if you run a business, you need the best employees so you can get an actual return on your investment.
	Here at The Daily Wire, we've hired a lot of highly skilled people to be part of this growing, creative powerhouse.
	Editors, attorneys, engineers, you name it.
	Like Fabiola!
	Fabiola started with us almost four years ago, from traveling with me all over the world to handling wardrobe and much more, and also to maybe, maybe killing my enemies.
	Thanks to Fabiola, I've been able to continue creating thousands of leftist tears every day.
	All right, that's enough feelings for one day.
	The facts are, if you're looking for amazing hires like Fabiola and her team of assassins, and our entire Daily Wire team, you need to go to ZipRecruiter, where it's smart technology excels at finding top talent for all your roles fast.
	ZipRecruiter makes hiring faster and easier, Four out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate within the very first day.

	ZipRecruiter.com slash DailyWire.
	Once again, that's ZipRecruiter.com slash DailyWire.
	Again, Kamala Harris has no idea what return on investment means, but you run a business, so you do, which is why you need the best employees.
	Check out ZipRecruiter.com slash DailyWire.
	That's ZipRecruiter.com slash DailyWire.
	Here is Kamala Harris explaining why we should spend trillions of dollars on her trash economic policies.
	You unveiled some economic policies last week.
	Can you explain how you're going to pay for those, and can you give us a sense of what other policies you want to unveil going forward?
	I mean, you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example, around children.
	And the child tax credit and extending the EITC.
	That is at $6,000 for the first year of a child's life.
	The return on that investment, in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for, will be tremendous.
	We've seen it when we did it, the first year of our administration, we reduced child poverty by over 50%.
	So that's a lot of the work.
	And then what we're doing in terms of the tax credits, we know that there's a great return on that investment.
	And when we increase homeownership in America, What that means in terms of increasing the tax base, not so much a property tax base, what that does to fund schools.
	Again, return on investment.
	I think it's a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment.
	When you are strengthening neighborhoods, strengthening communities, and in particular the economy of those communities, and investing in a broad-based economy, everybody benefits.
	Everybody benefits.
	See, lots of hand motions.
	Three in terms of, and four returns on investment.
	Now that's the kind of stuff economic magic is made of.
	Wow.
	I feel so much better about the idea of price controls.
	I feel so much better about the idea of just throwing money at everyone.
	That won't actually change the interest rates or anything.
	It'll be fine.
	Everything will be good.
	All the inflation rate's the same.
	My goodness.
	This is why they can never let her off the bus.
	This is why they have to take her off the bus, put her inside some sort of convenience store, throw her a bag of Doritos, and have her dance around while smiling, and then just shout joy.
	And if you don't feel the joy, the logical beatings will continue.
	The logical beatings will continue until you feel more joy.
	Do you feel the joy yet?
	Do you?
	Do you feel the joy?
	This campaign is a forced march.
	It is Mao's Long March over here.
	Okay, but tonight we are going to get the unity.
	The unity, so much unity at the Democratic National Convention.
	Now, as we'll discuss in a moment, they're going to attempt to obscure the fact that they took the actual President of the United States and the actual nominee out back and beheaded him.
	Politically.
	They're going to try to make him forget that they put him in hospice care and shot him up with a little too much morphine, just to kind of, you know, ease his pain, ease his passing.
	They're going to forget about all that.
	They're going to give him the gold watch, they'll wheel out his corpse, and then they'll toss him out the back door.
	That's the big first night of the DNC.
	But we've already had some indicators of what the DNC is going to look like.
	I was not joking when I said you can get a free abortion at the DNC.
	According to the New York Post, attendees at the DNC in Chicago will have the opportunity to get a free abortion or vasectomy.
	Just blocks away from the event.
	And vasectomy appointments are filling up fast.
	Now listen, don't let me get in the way of you democratic men sterilizing yourselves.
	I mean, if this is what you choose to do, then let me not be the obstacle to you removing further generations of your family line, you idiots.
	But Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which serves most... Imagine that you are the kind of person who goes to a DNC to get a vasectomy.
	Imagine that that's your life.
	You wake up in the morning one day, you know, I want to go to the DNC.
	Why, Bob?
	Well, because I need somebody to tie off my spermatic cord.
	Okay, that's, yeah, well, that's a choice you're making.
	Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which serves most of Missouri and part of Southern Illinois, is sending a mobile health center to the Windy City's West Loop to offer reproductive services on Monday and Tuesday.
	Medication abortions are reportedly available on both days.
	I mean, it ain't a party unless you're passing out the abortion pills, as we all know.
	Pretty special.
	Plus, in addition to the mobile clinic, another group called Americans for Contraception is going to erect an 18-foot-tall inflatable intrauterine device, or IUD, named Frida Womb.
	Get it?
	Because they're freeing the womb of babies.
	They're freeing the womb.
	By the way, idolatry takes many forms.
	That's a weird one.
	Your giant idol of an IUD is sort of strange.
	I mean, the services will be provided on a sliding fee scale.
	Pay what you can, get the healthcare you need according to the appointment reservation form.
	So exciting.
	So you're gonna fight the cat lady meme by erecting an 18 foot intrauterine device and providing free vasectomies and abortions to people.
	Don't worry, it's the Republicans who are weird.
	Don't worry, guys, it's Republicans who are weird.
	It's Democrats who are dressing up as the abortion pill on the streets of Chicago.
	It's Republicans who are weird.
	Also, there might be some social unrest this week in Chicago.
	And as social unrest escalates and crime rates climb, securing the safety of your family is more crucial than ever.
	I'm about as pro-Second Amendment as it gets.
	The thought of using lethal force in my house?
	I mean, if I've got an alternative, I'll use it, which is why I have Burna.
	Introducing the Burna Ungun, the non-lethal self-defense platform.
	Lightweight and simple to use, it uses an easy-to-load 5-round magazine.
	It's powered by an 8-gram CO2 cartridge.
	Bernal launchers fire a 68-caliber chemical-filled projectile using patented pull-pierce technology, where the CO2 canister is only punctured on the first trigger pull.
	That means your launcher is always at the ready.
	It's capable of incapacitating an attacker for over 30 minutes.
	It's accurate and effective at over 60 feet.
	It requires no permits, no background checks.
	It is interstate travel friendly.
	With Burna, you will be prepared to defend.
	And Burna is a safer, more sensible alternative that could potentially save lives on both sides, protecting both the user and the aggressor.

	Meanwhile, the actual schedule for the DNC lineup.
	Are you ready?
	It's gonna be so great.
	Monday is called For the People.
	Ironically, For the People involves Talking to the person who was defenestrated because he got all of the Democratic votes in the primaries.
	So for the people, by for the people they mean for not the people.
	Because literally no one voted for Kamala Harris.
	Ever.
	Ever in the history of presidential politics.
	At no time.
	Won zero votes in the presidential primaries of 2020.
	Won zero votes in the presidential primaries of 2024.
	And yet here she is, magic and joy and return on interest and in terms of and in terms of.
	So, Monday is called For the People.
	Do you feel it?
	Do you feel the joy?
	So, Joe Biden and Dr. Jill, the actual President of the United States, will speak, along with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
	I love that they're just shuttling Hillary to Monday night.
	Like, okay, everybody on the stage who we hate and want to go away.
	Hillary Clinton, come on up!
	There will also be a welcome from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has also locked all of the medicine cabinets at the CVSs locally to make sure that nobody steals all of the medications.
	Things are going great in Chicago.
	So that is on Monday.
	Tuesday is a bold vision for America's future.
	And this will be bringing up former President Obama.
	Because when I think forward, I think the president who left office in 2016, also apparently Michelle Obama, is going to speak as well.
	Because she is a black woman, and that means that she must speak.
	And they're also having second gentleman Doug Emhoff speak, but not the nanny.
	And there will be a welcome from rotund Illinois governor J.B.
	Pritzker, who will be lowered into the convention hall by Crane.
	Wednesday is a fight for our freedoms.
	A fight for our freedoms will be led by vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, who shut down the entire state of Minnesota for COVID and also for fun and rioting.
	Because that's what I think of when I think of freedom.
	But what they really mean is freedom to stop.
	That's that's what they mean.
	Preceded by former President Clinton, who very much is into the freedom to stop.
	That's like his thing, man.
	By the way, you gotta feel for the other members of the Biden cabinet, seriously.
	You have to feel for them.
	I mean, their big sin, of course, is not being gay.
	That's a huge problem.
	I love the Pete Buttigieg.
	Maybe the most incompetent member of an incredibly incompetent cabinet.
	They're like, you know what, that guy, he's getting a primetime speech on Wednesday.
	Why?
	Well, he does like dudes.
	I mean, that's a pretty rich resume right there.
	That dude is very into the dudes.
	He must speak.
	You're like, wait, but he's the transportation secretary.
	Haven't we had, like, more transportation failures over the course of the last three and a half years than any time in modern American history?
	The answer to your question is yes.
	Wait, didn't that guy go on paternity leave for like two months and nobody even noticed because he was so incompetent?
	The answer to that one is also yes, but does like the dudes.
	Again, just imagine that you are Gina Raimondo or something, and you are a member of the Biden cabinet.
	You're the Secretary of Commerce.
	And you're like, why don't I get to speak?
	Well, I mean, Gina, you are straight.
	So that's going to be a no on that.
	Thursday, So, boy, is it going to be a cavalcade of stars.
	So much unity.
	So much.
	Other speakers will include Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who will be pitching his new book, Anti-Semitism, How I Did It, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
	Also, I love this.
	Former President Carter's grandson, Jason Carter, is expected to speak on behalf of his grandfather, who said he hopes to stay alive long enough to vote for Kamala Harris.
	Great.
	I mean, you bring up specters of the past like Jimmy Carter.
	It's going amazing.
	So, the stares at the delegate entrance will say, history is in your hands.
	A quote from Biden's Oval Office address, July 24th, which is just after he was thrown off a moving train.
	As delegates arrive on Monday ahead of the Biden speech, digital signage in the United Center will say, history is in your hands and spread the faith.
	And by spread the faith, by the way, they do not mean like Christianity or anything biblically related.
	Spread the faith means 18 foot statues of IUDs.
	That's what that means.
	So there's gonna be so much unity.
	Are you excited?
	And tonight, of course, it leads off with a tribute to the dearly departed Joe Biden.
	They're gonna wheel his body onto stage in its sarcophagus.
	His mouth will move for a bit and then he will stumble off the stage and everyone will treat him as though he is Cincinnatus who is leaving his leadership position in order to go back to his farm.
	He is George Washington leaving off his leadership of the Continental Army to go back to Mount Vernon.
	That is Joe Biden.
	When in reality, what happened to Joe Biden?
	Is that they came up behind him at Ford's Theater and put two in the back of the political head.
	That's what actually happened to Joe Biden, and everybody knows it, and they're all pretending.
	So tonight we're gonna get pretend night!
	They give him the honorary gold watch after 50 years of service, and then they shuttle him off somewhere quiet.
	to Shady Lane in order to live out his final remaining years, being presided over by Dr. Jill Biden, who will occasionally take his pulse and bore him to death with stories about community college while he sleeps on a beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
	By the way, he's still the president.
	Just going to point that out.
	Still the president all the way until January.
	So while they wheel out this dead person and say we couldn't have him, I mean, look at him.
	He's dead.
	That dude is still the president and is still presumably leading the country.
	It's gonna be amazing.
	Even Maureen Dowd over at the New York Times is like, by the way, they cooed that guy out.
	Yes.
	Yes, they did.
	I know we're supposed to stop talking about that, but Kamala Harris is the current nominee because she cooed out the guy in front of her.
	That is what happened.
	Now, you may like it.
	You may think it's smart politics.
	It is smart politics, by the way.
	Doesn't mean it's not pretty scurrilous.
	Turns out it is a little scurrilous to wait until the dude wins the entire nominating process.
	He had no one run against him.
	Kamala could run against him.
	No one ran against him.
	And then they just took that nomination and picked it up from him after he failed in debate against Donald Trump.
	And then they handed it directly to her.
	And then they said that she is such a wonderful and joyous candidate that she didn't even need to run.
	That's how great she is.
	She didn't even need to run.
	That's how good she is.
	Maureen Dowd says we head to Chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, excitement, and even, you might say, ecstasy.
	She got very into the alliteration right there.
	It's going to be a glorious coronation, except that everybody's mad at one another.
	Yeah, this is the dirty secret.
	Top Democrats are bristling with resentment, even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City.
	A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race.
	It wasn't exactly a Julius Caesar in Rehoboth Beach, but it was a tectonic shift, and of course, there were going to be serious reverberations.
	Even though it was the right thing to do because Joe Biden was not going to be able to campaign, much less serve as president for another four years in a fully vital way, it was a jaw-dropping pooch.
	She is correct.
	How could Biden not be hurt that the Democratic Convention went from four days of sitting Shiva, as James Carville put it, to a joyful romp with Kamala atop the ticket?
	Democrat after Democrat, who had been close to Biden before conspiring to push him out, had to confess to cable anchors they had not been able to talk to the president, who was sulking in his tent.
	Party leaders whitewashed the coup by ornately extolling Biden.
	James Claberton told CNN Biden had a record no president of the United States could ever match.
	Pelosi proposed that Biden's face should be carved on Mount Rushmore.
	Despite the grandiose flattery, Joe, Jill, and Hunter were not fooled or appeased.
	That is true.
	That is true.
	All the talk about how there is going to be a big kumbaya moment here.
	I don't know if it's going to go quite that way, but they're going to try and paper it over with a bunch of false joy.
	So you have Jen Psaki, former press secretary for Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar, who likes to throw binders at her staff,
	suggesting that they are shedding tears of joy over Joe.
	There will be tears of joy tonight for Joe Biden.
	I mean, the tears of joy that he's not your nominee.
	If you're a nominee, you'd be losing right now.
	And instead you decided to put up a diverse cipher of whom zero questions will be asked
	and zero questions will be answered.
	Because every time she answers a question, she sounds like somebody who stumped her face
	on a brick when she was two years old.
	Well, the media have no problem being sexually titillated by the Harris Walls campaign, but Dudes, have you ever heard of Rose Sparks?
	This dual-action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis, Sildenafil and Tadalafil into one formidable treatment.
	It's not merely about the ingredients in the medication, it's how you're taking it.
	That's why Rose Sparks are designed to dissolve under the tongue.
	That's huge, because dissolvable treatment hits your bloodstream much faster than old-school pills.
	The result?
	Quicker onset of action, reducing the wait time typically associated with traditional pills.
	Plus, Tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, lasts in the system for up to 36 hours.
	For treatment that works fast and lasts long, connect to the provider at ro.co.

	Ben again. That's our O dot C O slash Ben. Anyway, here is Jen Psaki and Amy Klobuchar.
	Ben.
	You've known him a long time.
	You've worked closely with him.
	I wanted to ask you about what do you think the hall is going to be like tomorrow night when he speaks?
	There is going to be so much love for Joe Biden.
	So much love.
	There's going to be tears of joy when he walks into that hall.
	Yeah, it's a funeral.
	And what he has done, and I love that the major focus of this is going to be on democracy.
	He literally saved our democracy in the U.S.
	He saved our democracy in the U.S., says Amy Klobuchar.
	Do you mean he saved our democracy by being forced out of the nomination that he won in a Democratic series of elections?
	Because that's the read.
	It's not just going to be interior, backstabbing, behind the scenes.
	By the way, if Kamala Harris loses, Joe Biden is going to have the best time.
	Like seriously, that dude is prepping.
	He would love nothing better than for Kamala Harris to lose.
	If Kamala Harris loses, Joe Biden is going to be able to say, I told y'all, I told you, I told you, you should have left me in place.
	And now she lost and you forced me out.
	So that's on you.
	It's your fault.
	Like, wait, the recriminations will be delicious if somehow Kamala Harris manages to lose this election.
	Even if she wins the election, he's just going to be seen as the transitional guy who somehow stopped Donald Trump in 2020 and then got his ass handed to him by 84-year-old Nancy Pelosi and all of the chief donors in the Democratic Party.
	So that is kind of one side of the rift.
	And the other is the public rift.
	So the public rift continues.
	It turns out that the Democrats can never appease their radical left too much.
	DNC was starting to welcome people yesterday, and the protesters were already there.
	They showed up, and they were protesting, they were holding their pro-Hamas signs, going wild.
	Again, this is the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party, to which Kamala Harris wishes to appeal.
	Here's a lady holding a sign saying, stop the genocide, stop apartheid.
	Ceasefire now.
	White lady from Chicago, of course.
	You got some code pink people out there.
	You got some people holding...
	Queer as in free Palestine.
	That's one of my favorites.
	Queer as in free Palestine.
	Nothing more fun than chickens for KFC over there.
	Queers for free Palestine.
	So they all showed up.
	And they made fools of themselves, and there will be many more of them.
	There are going to be tens of thousands of people who actually show up ready to protest Kamala Harris.
	Some of them showed up holding signs that said, Killer Kamala, which should be fun for her to deal with.
	Meanwhile, she's in the back room negotiating with the pro-Hamas crowd.
	John Fetterman, by the way, the pro-Israel senator from Pennsylvania, he's not even showing up at the DNC because he's like, I don't know, I got some questions here, gang, and he ain't wrong.
	According to Breitbart, Vice President Kamala Harris secretly met last week with the radical anti-Semitic mayor of Dearborn, Michigan in an effort to court Muslim and Arab American voters.
	The meeting was reported by the Associated Press, buried within an article published on Saturday about the so-called uncommitted group of voters, particularly in Michigan, who are trying to push the Democratic Party into an openly anti-Israel position.
	The AP reported, quote, top Democrats have spent weeks meeting with uncommitted voters and their allies, including a previously unreported sit down between VP Harris and the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan.
	During a campaign trip to Michigan last week, Harris met with Abdullah Hamoud, the 34-year-old mayor of Dearborn, a Detroit suburb that has the largest number of Arab Americans of any city in the United States.
	They also have pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah rallies on the regular.
	A person familiar with the meetings did not provide specific details, but said the focus was on Harris's potential policy if elected on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
	She has already expressed her possible openness to a full-on arms embargo against Israel, obviously.
	This also happens to be a person who has spent years Basically justifying the murder of Israelis.
	On October 7th, he tweeted, quote, October 7th was inevitable, according to this person, and Kamala Harris had to go listen to him.
	So she's going to keep trying to appease these people.
	And meanwhile, they are going to keep protesting her, so it should be a fun dynamic.
	According to Jillian Camelcio, writing for the Wall Street Journal, Whether it's Genocide Joe or Killer Kamala, the butchers of Gaza cannot be allowed to gather in Chicago undisturbed, according to self-described anti-imperialist organization Behind Enemy Lines.
	That's from an Instagram post last month.
	It called for protesters to make it great like 68 and shut down the DNC for Gaza.
	That group is coordinating with Palestine Action U.S., which encourages vandalism and other unlawful acts, and Samidun, the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, which cheered Hamas's October 7th massacre and has ties to terrorism.
	Those are the usual suspects.
	Another factor is driving the protests toward escalation.
	The anti-Israel crowd has united with radical environmentalists and anti-police activists
	who have spent years honing unlawful tactics, including setting up encampments, vandalizing
	property, brawling with the cops and de-arresting their comrades, physically intervening to prevent
	an arrest. And the history of this movement goes back years at this point.
	According to Melchi, a member of the Journal's editorial board, the 2020 protests took a toll
	on the Chicago Police Department, which last month had fewer than 11,600 officers, despite a budget
	The local police will get help from state and federal law enforcement.
	It's possible they'll succeed in containing the protests.
	Even if so, expect to see more lawlessness and disorder on campuses and city streets this fall.
	So this is going to be a running problem for the Democrats, and it is not going away.
	Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has done virtually nothing to crack down on criminality in his city, he says, don't worry, we're ready, it's all good, don't worry.
	Do you have any concerns?
	We're ready for this convention.
	Look, our local police department has worked with the Secret Service as well as other local agencies to ensure a safe, peaceful, yet vibrant, exciting convention.
	The city of Chicago has been rated number one as it relates to convention centers and how we make sure that we protect people while also providing an opportunity to see the beauty and the soul of who we are.
	Okay, well, good luck with that.
	I mean, seriously, I love that they rely on the cops when it comes time to make the DNC not look bad.
	But Brandon Johnson has been the most anti-cop mayor in America.
	Been willing to undercut the cops at every available turn.
	But he's relying on the cops to make the DNC not look bad.
	Well, listen, Chicago is probably filled with problems, including HR problems.
	Because, I mean, would you want to hire any of these pro-Hamas people?
	Listen, when we started Daily Wire, the biggest question mark was what we would do for HR.
	We were focused on creating engaging content.

	Well, best of hopes for the city of Chicago and the DNC in terms of violence.
	Good luck storming the castle, boys.
	Meanwhile, by the way, things are going so well that House Democrats attending the DNC are being advised by congressional security officials not to book hotel rooms under their own names or engage with protesters if confronted, according to Axios.
	That guidance comes as some Democratic lawmakers are fearful about their own safety after being rattled by a series of disruptive pro-Palestinian protests since the Israel-Hamas war started last year.
	It does show you where Democrats' heads are at just generally.
	If Republicans are confronted by pro-Hamas protesters, they go right back at them and tell them they're schmucks and a waste of oxygen.
	And if pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas protesters go up to Democrats, the Democrats immediately begin kowtowing to them and asking what they can do to make them feel better, which kind of explains Democratic foreign policy when it comes to the Middle East.
	One House Democrat told Axios they're very concerned about their personal security and that, of course, other lawmakers are as well.
	A senior House Democrat said law enforcement is telling members, quote, not to go to a certain area because they expect violence.
	In a guidance sent to congressional staffers and obtained by Axios, the House Sergeant at Arms Office wrote, quote, if you are confronted by protesters, try not to engage and report to Capitol Police.
	So good luck, hope you have a wonderful convention.
	You deserve every little bit of this.
	Meanwhile, again, Kamala right now, this is not a runaway race.
	This kind of notion that the race is over already, no, it really, really, really is not.
	It is currently August 19th.
	There are another, I believe, 29 days until the voting begins in Pennsylvania.
	And that's just when the voting begins in Pennsylvania.
	The election, of course, is not until the beginning of November.
	Right now, Kamala Harris has the momentum.
	But this is also her high watermark.
	Because what else could break that would help her at this point?
	According to Nate Silver's analysis of the polling, right now, she is ahead by about 2.5% nationally.
	But when it comes to Arizona, she's up by like a point and a half.
	When it comes to Georgia, he is up.
	When it comes to Michigan, she's up by maybe three points.
	When it comes to Pennsylvania, she's up by a point and a half.
	All of these are margin of error races.
	All of them are margin of error races.
	And that means that if Kamala Harris starts to come back to Earth, she's got a problem.
	She is not, in fact, blowing him out.
	She's not up seven points.
	She's not up five points.
	She's up more like a point and a half or two.
	That is not enough to give her breathing room where she should feel as comfortable as she obviously does right now.
	The New York Times has an entire piece today titled, Two Undecided Voters.
	Harris is famous but unknown.
	They want to learn more.
	Well, I mean, you know you could.
	I have a way for people to learn more about her positions.
	That'd be if the New York Times covered her positions!
	It's actually your job.
	It's what you get paid to do.
	Terry York Singleton is certain about one thing as she considers the November election.
	She will not vote for Donald Trump.
	That's not a true swing voter because this person knows she's not voting for Trump, of course.
	There are a bunch of people who don't know whether they're going to vote for Trump.
	from her, said Miss York Singleton, 68.
	She listed the cost of medication and childcare, as well as homelessness, as problems she wants to hear
	Miss Harris discuss.
	That's not a true swing voter, because this person knows she's not voting for Trump, of course.
	There are a bunch of people who don't know whether they're going to vote for Trump.
	And so far, they don't know anything about Kamala Harris's positions, which are indeed trash.
	And once again, when Kamala Harris gets off script, even sometimes when she's on script,
	she is a disaster area, and the public have not been treated to that yet.
	For example, the Trump campaign sort of hilariously put together a mock ad about Kamala Harris, and it was just a speech in which she was explaining price increases under the Biden administration.
	Here's what it looked like.
	A loaf of bread cost 50% more today than it did before the pandemic.
	Ground beef is up almost 50%.
	And then it went to, this has been an ad for Donald J. Trump.
	Again, she's right.
	Those prices are up.
	I wonder why they're up.
	And you can't just paper that crap over with joy.
	You can't paper that over by saying return on investment 27 times in a row.
	You can't do that.
	It is a waste of time.
	And people, I hope, can see through that.
	You would hope in a democracy people can see through that.
	In a second we'll get to Kamala Harris's economic plans, the failures thereof, and the fact that Democrats have no way to actually defend this stuff.
	We'll get to that in just one second.
	First, over the weekend, we got word from theaters nationwide, Amiracist, which is Matt Walsh's new movie.
	The advance tickets are selling super fast.
	We're also hearing from people in cities across the country saying their theater is not yet carrying Amiracist.
	So, here's how you change that.
	If you haven't yet purchased your advance tickets, go to miracist.com today.
	Help fill these theaters and secure even more theaters.
	Every ticket sold today determines how many theaters will even show the film September 13th.
	Matt Walsh.
	Literally destroyed leftist gender theory and what is woman has now infiltrated the absurd world of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
	Let me tell you what he's uncovered is simultaneously hilarious and infuriating.
	Now, the initial response to the tickets has been absolutely phenomenal.
	We can't let up.
	Go to miracist.com.
	Get your advance tickets today.
	Do not wait.
	This is how we reclaim the culture folks with facts, logic, and filled theater seats.
	Now again, Nobody knows anything about Kamala Harris's position.
	She keeps saying dumb crap, and then when she's asked about it, she word vomits for like a minute and a half, and repeats phrases like, in terms of, because that is her verbal crutch.
	She doesn't know where to go with anything, so she'll just speak, you know, when it comes to democracy, when it comes to democracy, in terms of, in terms of the depth of the interest that people have in the world, in democracy, in terms of, in terms, oh my god, she's so terrible.
	Which is why, which is why Democrats have to keep hiding all of this.
	Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic House Minority Leader, he was asked about her economic record because it turns out she's been part of an administration.
	We know what it looks like.
	They did a terrible job.
	He said she inherited catastrophes.
	I have a question.
	Is she inheriting one right now?
	Like really?
	That has a yes or no answer.
	If she becomes president, will she be inheriting a catastrophe?
	Because there has to be some excuse for economic policy.
	And she's been here for three and a half years.
	Here's Hakeem Jeffries trying to walk right past this one.
	President Biden and Vice President Harris inherited three different catastrophes from the prior president at the same time.
	There was a public health catastrophe connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.
	There was an economic catastrophe that resulted from the shutdown of our economy.
	And of course, there was a democracy catastrophe related to the January 6th violent assault on the Capitol incited by the former president as part of the effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.
	Yeah, that was really the big problem.
	It was not their crap policy over the course of the last three and a half years.
	It was that she inherited catastrophes.
	I don't know how much longer you can blame the Trump administration for things that are your own fault, but they're going to keep trying.
	Meanwhile, Democrats keep trying to explain what exactly Kamala Harris meant when she said she was going to curb grocery prices with price gouging laws, which is totally insane.
	It is totally crazy.
	Excellent thread by a guy named Robert Sterling.
	He's a CFO investor and he used to work in M&A in the food industry.
	He says here is what would actually happen.
	The government announces grocery retailers aren't allowed to raise prices.
	Grocery stores which operate on 1-2% net margins can't survive if their suppliers raise prices.
	So the government announces that food producers also aren't allowed to raise prices.
	Not all grocery stores are credited equal.
	Stores in lower income areas make less money than those in higher income areas, as the
	former disproportionately sell lower margin prepackaged food instead of higher margin
	fresh products like meat.
	Because stores in lower income areas aren't able to cover overhead, grocery chains start
	to shut them down.
	Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.
	Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding.
	Their primary costs—ingredients, energy, and labor—aren't fixed.
	Their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, reinvest in additional protection capacity.
	Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores to sell more non-price controlled items.
	Everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel and less price controlled food products.
	Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.
	Food producers stop making products with lower margins.
	Grocery chains start competing with each other to secure inventory.
	Since they can't compete by offering stronger prices, because again producers aren't allowed to raise prices, they compete on things like payment terms.
	Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely or get sold to larger chains like Kroger.
	In addition to not being able to To cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products because producers are prioritizing sales to larger customers.
	Smaller food producers start to go out of business.
	Because these producers have an additional step, their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers.
	When grocery stores aren't able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important.
	Deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.
	Then the supply chains break down, so lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning.
	The federal government then announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores.
	The USDA seizes closed-down production facilities.
	The government then announces that prices for all key food costs are now fixed to stop profiteers from gouging the now government-operated food industry.
	Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet.
	The entire food supply chain starts imploding.
	Communism, mass starvation, the end of America quickly ensue.
	Hey, wait a second.
	Because that's a pretty good explanation of exactly how Kamala Harris's policies actually work.
	But here is Democratic governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, saying that the price gouging plan is basically no different from Teddy Roosevelt's trust busting.
	This is really supply and demand, which we all respect.
	It's no different than what Teddy Roosevelt did in breaking up monopolies.
	It's just making sure we have the right regulations and tools in place to make sure everybody is playing the game fairly and by the rules.
	Okay, that is absurd.
	Absurd.
	Okay, there are already antitrust regulations on the books.
	If the idea is the food industry is violating monopoly laws by providing non-competitive prices via collusion, there are already laws on the books for that.
	That's not what she's talking about.
	She is talking about the dumbest economic policy ever proposed, which is price controls on food.
	Literally fails everywhere it's tried, and that is what she is pushing.
	And again, Democrats have no answers for this.
	So their entire goal is to never answer about any of this.
	By the way, this is true of every audacious Kamala Harris policy.
	This has been true since 2019.
	She will throw out a policy like Medicare for all.
	Then she'll be asked, wait, do you mean outlawing private health insurance?
	And she'll be like, yeah.
	And then everybody goes, wait, what the?
	And then she's like, I never meant that.
	Or she'll say, Yes, I would ban fracking on day one.
	And then they'll be like, wait, what?
	Like, ban it?
	Seriously?
	And she'll be like, mm-hmm.
	And then everybody in Pennsylvania goes, wait, hold up.
	And she goes, I never meant that.
	I mean, literally her entire career is this.
	She did this with Joe Biden too.
	She said, if it weren't for Joe, if Joe Biden had gotten his way, little girls like me, I was that little girl.
	And they're like, well, no, you actually weren't that little girl.
	It turns out that Joe, are you in favor of forced busing now?
	Like what's, what's the actual thing that you're in favor of?
	Yes, I'm in favor of forced busing.
	And then it turns out everyone hates forced busing.
	And she's like, no, I'm not for forced busing.
	This is every position she has ever taken on anything, on anything.
	So how do you expect other Democrats to defend her?
	NBC's Kristen Welker had on Gretchen Whitmer, who was not chosen for vice president and is governor of Michigan, to discuss Kamala Harris's economic plans.
	It did not go amazing because her economic plans suck.
	delve into some of the policies the vice president laid out some of her economic policies this week
	among other things she's proposing a ban on price gouging here is what obama administration
	economist jason forman had to say he said quote this is not sensible policy and i think the
	biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and not reality there's no upside here
	and there is some downside He warned effectively that price controls could ultimately stifle economic growth.
	So do you think that's the best way to bring down prices in Michigan?
	Well, I think people are reading too much into what has been put out there.
	We know that Kamala Harris is going to be focused on building up more affordable housing.
	We know that Kamala Harris has already delivered on making sure that health care is more accessible and affordable for Americans and will protect Obamacare.
	That's a million people who have health care in Michigan right now that Donald Trump's been trying to rip away.
	So I noticed that you didn't answer any of the questions, which is going to be the pattern all the way up until the election.
	Even on CNN, some of the commentators were like, uh, by the way, her economic plans make no sense at all.
	She took a lot of far-left positions during her first run in 2019 and 2020.
	She has temporarily kind of moderated these through some anonymous quotes from aides saying, well, she doesn't really want to ban fracking anymore.
	She doesn't want to do this, doesn't want to do that.
	This new program that she's kind of doing is pretty far left.
	$25,000, price control, essentially.
	That's number one.
	But the other thing is, you know, kind of Pretty amazing.
	Pretty amazing.
	And again, that is totally right, of course.
	the last four years when a lot of the housing market crisis was at its worst, when inflation
	was at its worst. So there's a lot of memory holing that.
	But look, when it comes to the 25K, I mean, you just added $25,000 into every price in
	every home price in the country.
	Because if you're giving that away essentially for free, people will add it into the price.
	Pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. And again, that is totally right, of course. Now, to
	be fair, that was a commentator who used to work for Tim Scott. But this is not foreign
	to the Democratic Party.
	Tim Walz, everybody's favorite Midwestern dad.
	He's just like you.
	He's a normal Midwestern dad who got caught doing a DUI 90-something in a 55-mile-per-hour zone and then claimed that he was deaf.
	He pretended that he had a title they didn't have in the military.
	He cut out his military service before going to Iraq with his guys.
	And also, as a high school teacher in the 1990s, apparently, he extolled life under Chinese communism, telling his students it is a system in which, quote, everyone shares and gets free food and housing.
	He said during a lesson in November 1991, quote, Wow, what a great teacher.
	quote, it means that everyone is the same and everyone shares.
	The doctor and the construction worker make the same.
	The Chinese government and the place they work provide for housing.
	And about 14 kilograms or 30 pounds of rice per month, they get food and housing.
	Wow, what a great teacher.
	He's just like a normal Midwestern communist.
	So yes, this is an extraordinarily radical ticket.
	It is a very, very radical ticket indeed, which is what Donald Trump should be focusing on.
	And to be fair, sometimes he's trying to focus on that, sometimes he's not.
	So President Trump, over the weekend, he was going out on the campaign trail.
	He said, we will defeat Communist Kamala.
	Now again, I don't think that this nickname is gonna stick either.
	I'm gonna push very hard for Kamalier.
	Kamalier.
	We tried Skamala.
	Not sure that it's gonna completely catch on.
	It's been a while.
	I'm gonna go Kamalier.
	Because, frankly, I think Communist Kamala is too much in terms of people.
	It's a mouthful.
	But here is President Trump trying it out.
	80 days from now we are going to defeat a communist known as Kamala Harris.
	Most radical left person ever to run for office.
	This is not what this country needs.
	We've had enough of them.
	So, he's not wrong.
	I'm not sure that that attack line is going to be virile enough.
	He needs to actually spell out all the problems with her policies.
	That would involve him not doing comparisons between his looks and her looks, for example.
	Again, distractibility is not an asset on the campaign trail at this point.
	This is an incredibly tight election.
	This election is going to be decided by tens of thousands of votes in a few states.
	It really is that.
	So when President Trump does the, I'm better looking than Kamala Harris routine, it may be funny, but he needs to stop talking to the people who are in the crowd at the rally and start talking to, you know, the people who are across America.
	She said one thing that got me.
	She said, Kamala has one big advantage.
	She's a very beautiful woman.
	She's a beautiful woman.
	So I decided to go back and re-read the clause.
	I'm not saying he's not.
	But I say that I am much better looking than her.
	I think I'm much better.
	Much better.
	I'm a better looking person than Kamala.
	Like, dude's hilarious.
	It's funny.
	But, like, who's the moderate voter?
	He's like, that is true.
	He is a better looking person than Kamala Harris.
	I'm gonna vote.
	Like, eye on the prize, my man.
	Eye on the prize if you'd like to be the President of the United States.
	Which, again, I would like to not have a communist for President of the United States.
	So, uh, I'm rooting hard for this.
	Alrighty, guys.
	Coming up, we'll be joined on the line by Kathie Lee Gifford, four-time Emmy Award winner and author of the new book, Herod and Mary.

	Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.
	Growing up, I never thought much about race.
	It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.
	Am I racist?
	I would really appreciate it if you left.
	I'm trying to learn.
	I'm on this journey.
	I'm gonna sort this out.
	I need to go deeper undercover.
	Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.
	Here's my certification.
	What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.
	There's more for you in this field.
	Is America inherently racist?
	The word inherent is challenging there.
	Want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument?
	America is racist to its bones.
	So inherently?
	Yes.
	This country is a piece of...
	White.
	Folks.
	Trash.
	White supremacy.
	White woman.
	White boy.
	Is there a black person around?
	What's a black person right here?
	Does he not exist?
	Hi, Robin.
	Hi.
	What's your name?
	I'm Matt.
	I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.
