Good evening, It's Wednesday, October 30th.
Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m.
Eastern, exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube.
Tonight, as we head into the 2024 election, finally, the media was consumed for three straight days with one of the most pressing questions facing our nation.
What does it mean that a comedian told an offensive joke about Puerto Rico and various other groups at Trump's Sunday rally?
That compelling news cycle was broken only because Joe Biden, remember him?
The one with the nuclear codes?
He defied the nurses' orders to sit quietly in the corner and instead made an appearance by Zoom in attempting to convince Latino voters to vote for Kamala Harris and proceeded to call half of the country, quote, garbage.
It is impossible to know what Biden actually meant to say.
It's rare that he even completes a sentence.
But this time he did complete the sentence.
And unmistakably, that is what he said.
Everyone can hear it for themselves.
Now, I personally don't think that the ramblings of a senile old man are particularly relevant.
Though I do think it's relevant that the sitting president of the United States has little to no functional brain matter.
And we'll talk about that.
But it has been remarkable watching Democrats and the corporate media spring into action to try to defend Biden.
Even inventing an imaginary apostrophe in the middle of his sentence to try to pretend that he did not actually say what everyone knows for whatever reasons he clearly did say.
As is true for so many of these seemingly trivial episodes, they become windows that vividly reveal how our key institutions function, and we'll examine this episode with that in mind.
Then, the only reason Israel is able to bomb and destroy Gaza for a full year and counting, and the only reason they were able to fight a war in Lebanon while threatening one with Iran and various other neighbors is because the United States...
Meaning American citizens, American workers, finance Israel's military, arm their wars, and use its diplomatic power to shield Israel from criticism or from the mandates of international law.
This despite the fact that Israelis have a much higher standard of living than millions of Americans forced to subsidize their wars and their military.
Now, in short, Israel by every historical measure is a vassal state of the United States, yet somehow the dynamic is exactly the opposite.
The U.S. is, or at least it strives to appear to be, a vassal state of Israel under the command of that foreign government and subject to all its whims and dictates.
Two weeks ago, the U.S. sent a letter to Israel demanding that it allow more humanitarian aid to enter northern Gaza and threaten a possible arms embargo if Israel did not complete those tasks within 30 days, conveniently scheduled for after the election.
Recently, the U.S. government, through its State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, emphatically condemned any attempt by Israel to implement legislation banning the UNRWA, the only organization capable of delivering food, water, and medication to dying gazes.
The U.S. would not appreciate and would strongly oppose any such law, said Miller.
Within two hours of Miller's directive not to ban that organization, literally two hours, the Israeli Knesset proceeded to overwhelmingly ignore what he said and to prove the exact law, the U.S. warned them not to enact a law banning Onra from operating in Israel and therefore in Gaza.
As for that letter dressed up as an ultimatum, Not only has Israel made no moves or even gestures to pretend to comply with US demands, they have gone in exactly the opposite direction, squeezing and suffocating Gazans in the north even more than before the US wrote that letter by blocking virtually all humanitarian aid from entering that region and reaching them.
And there are many other similar examples where the Israelis openly and seemingly with glee mock and ignore and violate every request or demand that the United States government makes.
Now, whether these are really cases of Israel deliberately humiliated in the United States or whether it is the United States pretending to impose demands on Israel that the Israelis openly flaunt only because the U.S. privately tells them they don't really mean it, the U.S. continues to be humiliated in front of the world, making all these statements and decrees and even declaring the U.S. continues to be humiliated in front of the world, making And they all end up seeming worthless because they are.
It again raises the question of who the real vassal state here is.
And then finally, the worst time to do journalism, at least for me, and I've been saying this since I began, is the weeks heading into a national election.
Many people will not pay attention to anything, no matter how consequential, other than election-related news.
While there's not all that much to say about the election to satisfy people beyond either openly cheering every day for a specific candidate or endlessly analyzing poll numbers, none of which we like to do here.
Nonetheless, there is actually a national election, at least formally, that will be held in five days, so we decided to take a bit of time tonight to give you our analysis for what it's worth of what is happening, though I don't have any more idea than anyone else as to who will win, but we'll give you some thoughts about what does seem to be taking place.
Before we get to all of that, we have a few quick programming notes.
First of all, we're encouraging our viewers to download the Rumble app.
If you do so, it works both on your smart TV and your telephone, and we recently discovered also on your Xbox.
It's an app that works all three simultaneously.
And once you do that, once you download it, it means that you can follow the programs you most like to watch here on the platform.
And if you do that and then activate notifications, which we hope you will, it means the minute any of those programs begin broadcasting live on the platform, whether at their schedule time, a little bit late, or...
You'll be notified by length that you can just click on and begin watching the programs live.
It really helps the live viewing numbers of every program and therefore the free speech cause of Rumble itself.
As another reminder, a system update is also available in podcast form.
You can listen to every episode 12 hours after the first broadcast live here on Rumble on Spotify, Apple and all other major podcasting platforms.
If you rate, review and follow our show on those podcasting platforms, it really helps spread the visibility of the program.
Finally, every Tuesday and Thursday night, once we're done with our live show here on Rumble, we move to Locals, which is part of the Rumble community where we have our live interactive after show.
We take your questions, respond to critiques, hear your suggestions for future shows.
It's just a way to interact with the audience.
That after show is available only for members of our local community.
So if you'd like to join...
It gives you access not just to those twice a week after shows, but to numerous interactive features.
We publish a lot of exclusive original content there.
Just last night, for example, I wrote an article about Jeff Bezos' defense of why the Washington Post was ordered by him not to endorse any candidate and analyzed a lot of What that means, and we published that article exclusively on Locals.
Certainly the entire thing was available only to Locals members, so we put a lot of exclusive original content there.
And most of all, it is the platform on which we really do rely to support the independent journalism that we're doing here every night.

For now, welcome to a new episode of System Update, starting right now.
The media spent three days utterly consumed by a joke told by a comedian who, I guess, is fairly well known among a sector of people, but not particularly well known is fairly well known among a sector of people, but not particularly well known And according to Donald Trump, he didn't know who this person was, hasn't heard of him before.
His name is Tony Hinchcliffe.
He's a very close friend of Joe Rogan's.
And we spent three days talking about the meaning of this joke that he told about Puerto Rico.
He also told a lot of other jokes about Black people and Jews and other groups.
He's an insult comic.
That's what he does.
And now the media has moved on with just a few days left before the election to Garbage Gate, which arose from an appearance that the Kamala Harris campaign has been dreading of Joe Biden.
Remember him?
He's the sitting president of the United States, the actual person who's supposed to be making all the decisions that the United States keeps announcing about his policies in the Middle East, about its military posture, its war posture.
These are all supposedly coming from Joe Biden, and yet he appeared, even though the Kamala Harris campaign just wants him to disappear as fully as possible.
And even in this very low pressure context of a Zoom call, he was just on a Zoom call talking to leaders of Latino groups to try and encourage them to get Latino voters out to vote for Kamala.
He basically ended up saying something that, at least as it was expressed, called half the country, namely Trump supporters, garbage.
Very redolent of when Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters a basket of deplorables back in 2016.
Although in Hillary's defense, she said that half of Trump supporters belong in this basket of deplorables, whereas Biden seemed to be calling all Trump supporters garbage.
That was the word he used, garbage.
Now, this consumed the entire day.
Kamala Harris gave this big, glorious, dramatic speech in Washington yesterday that was supposed to be the crowning jewel of her campaign.
And after it was done, no one remembered that it happened because everybody was focused instead on what Joe Biden said.
And having to clear that up all day was Kamala Harris and Tim Walz who were asked about it everywhere they went.
And now you have Donald Trump riding around in a garbage truck dressed up as a garbage man to try and exploit and extract as much advantage as possible from this comment, which obviously offends a lot of people, even people who aren't necessarily Trump voters, to call the entire country who doesn't support your party garbage is obviously something that already...
Is resonating for people who believe that liberals look down upon them, view them as inferior, don't really have much concern for their lives.
And yet, obviously, because this has the potential to harm Kamala Harris, I don't think it has a lot of potential to harm her, but it has some.
The pro-Kamala media, which is basically almost all of the corporate media, sprung into action in a way that has to be seen to be believed in order to justify what Joe Biden said and to protect him.
Here, for example, is the New York Times today reporting on this incident.
So he didn't actually insult Trump supporters as garbage, according to the New York Times.
He just appeared to.
But then quickly tried to clarify.
Here's what they said, quote, President Biden on Tuesday denounced racist language at former President Donald J. Trump's recent rally, but appeared to insult Trump supporters as, quote, garbage, promoting waves of criticism from Republicans.
So you notice right away they start off by saying, oh, what he was really there to do was to condemn racism from Trump supporters, to justify that he said that these Trump supporters whom he was announcing as racist were garbage. .
The White House quickly objected to that interpretation of the President's remarks, arguing that he was instead describing the racist language as, quote, garbage, not Trump supporters.
We'll show you the video in a second.
It's beyond any dispute what Biden actually said, what actually came out of his mouth.
Whatever was going on in that Broken, melting brain of what he intended to express.
You can debate that, but you cannot debate what he actually said.
What he said was that Trump supporters are garbage.
He said, the only garbage I see are Trump supporters, and we'll show you that in a second.
The New York Times goes on, quote, the comments came as Mr.
Biden was addressing Latino supporters by video, quote, just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a, quote, floating island of garbage, Mr.
Biden said, referring to a riff by Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian and Trump supporter who spoke at the rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
Mr.
Biden said Puerto Ricans are, quote, good, decent, honorable people.
Then he went on, quote, the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
Obviously talking about Donald Trump.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
And then he added this, quote, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American.
The White House released a transcript that showed Mr.
Biden was saying, quote, not his supporters, but his supporters with an apostrophe S that they invented to try and make it seem like Biden wasn't saying his supporters are garbage, rather that his supporters apostrophe S was Demonization of Latinos was garbage, meaning that Mr.
Hinchcliffe's demonization was garbage.
But Republicans seized on the semen gaffe, comparing it to comment by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she referred to Trump supporters as, quote, deplorables.
Now, note here that the New York Times prides itself Only when Trump is president or Trump is running for president, of refusing to engage in both sides' journalism, meaning all you do is say, Democrats say this and Republicans say this, and you don't actually resolve the question.
Your job as a journalist is to not just say, this side says this and this side says this, but then to come forward and tell people which side is telling the truth and which side is lying.
And they do that constantly when they're reporting what Trump said.
They'll say, Donald Trump said X, Y, and Z, but there's no evidence for that, and in fact that's a lie.
If they were being at all consistent, they would use this formulation here that they're using for a comment that came from Joe Biden that could be harmful.
They would say about a Trump statement, Donald Trump said X, Y, and Z. Democrats seized on it, claiming that it was a lie.
The Republicans responded that they were taking it out of context and they would just wash their hands.
That's what they did in this case.
We're not here to say which side is right.
We're just here to tell you what both sides are saying.
And what the Biden White House is saying is that there was a magical apostrophe in the middle of the sentence that radically changed its meaning.
Here is the video of Joe Biden on this Zoom call.
I mean, just the angle of this and the way he gets to the camera.
It's it's so it really looks like someone in a nursing home.
And the way he speaks, there's not a coherent or cogent thought that exits its mouth at this point.
I saw a journalist today saying, oh, he's an old man with a stutter, trying to rejuvenate that stutter excuse.
I mean, you can look back at 50 years of Biden's videos and speeches and interviews and never hear this magical stutter that they invented to justify why suddenly he was incapable of speaking coherently when he was running for president in 2020.
But here is ostensibly the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, the commander-in-chief of our armed forces, which are currently deployed all throughout the Middle East and in support of the war in Ukraine and probably many, many other things that we are unaware of.
Presumably he's the one presiding over all of that.
He's the one making the decisions to do that.
Here he is, and you can judge for yourself, A, what he actually said, and B, whether this person has any ability to even tie his own shoes, let alone exercise the functions of the American presidency.
Donald Trump has no character.
He doesn't...
Donald Trump has no character.
He doesn't give a damn about something to you.
Donald Trump has no character.
He doesn't give a damn about the Latino community.
He's a failed businessman.
He only cares about the billionaire friends he has and accumulated wealth for those at the top.
He says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.
Give me a break.
He wants to do away with the birthright citizenship.
Who the hell has said that in the last hundred years?
And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.
Well, let me tell you something.
I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know, or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
They're good, decent, honorable people.
The only garbage I see floating out there is just the porters.
All right.
Did you hear that?
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
That is what he said.
There was no his supporters and then some noun after it.
His supporters racism or his supporters bigotry or his supporters offensive comments about Puerto Rico.
He said the only garbage I see out there is Trump's supporters.
And then he adds on this which somehow Democrats and the media have decided is ambiguous as to whether there was an apostrophe at the end of his supporters that he was not condemning Trump supporters as garbage, but something about them that's bad and wrong.
State of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
His demonization is seen as unconscionable and it's un-American.
It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been.
I mean, that's the shocking part.
It's very rare that Joe Biden speaks sentences that have an unambiguous and clear meaning.
I mean, when he was talking about Puerto Ricans, he stopped himself because he was about to say, where I'm from in Puerto Rico.
And none of it really made any sense until he got to that part.
And he's like, the only garbage I see out there Now again, I don't really care that much about this.
I do think it reflects The liberal attitude in its sort of unvarnished form, a lot of times when you get old and senile and your brain stops functioning well, what happens is that you start losing your filter and the things that are actually in your brain come out because you lost the capability to soften it or to disguise it or to put it into an acceptable form.
I remember visiting my grandparents in nursing homes and you would just hear the patients there who I'm sure were nice, educated, polite people their entire lives just saying the nastiest stuff.
Just vulgar and crude because they lost their filter.
Their brains were deteriorating with old age.
That's what's happening here.
He immediately...
So I don't think that the comment in and of itself is particularly significant in the scheme of things.
But what I do think is significant is the media's attempt to just pretend that it's confusing what he said, as well as the fact that this is the President of the United States still, the person who's supposed to be making decisions.
Joe Biden, or someone writing under the name Joe Biden, went on to ask earlier this morning...
These comments were made last night, knowing that it was creating a huge problem for Kamala Harris to try and clarify what he said.
I just played what he said.
That's not what he said.
Maybe that's what he meant to say, but this is not what he said.
Here was Kamala Harris, poor Kamala Harris, riding high on what she thought was going to be her big, melodramatic appearance at the mall in Washington, the place where Trump gave his January 6th speech.
That was a symbolism of it.
Rachel Maddow called it the most important speech, perhaps, in recent American political history.
I mean, imagine how good that speech must have been for Rachel Maddow to praise it.
So before that could even sink in, before anybody could even realize that she spoke, Biden appeared out of nowhere and said that, and so all day long she and Tim Walz were asked about it, and they were forced to distance themselves from it.
Here's what Kamala Harris said today.
This is from Fox News, after she got off a plane in Andrews Air Force Base.
Listen, I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear, I strongly disagree with any Now, I get why Kamala Harris is trying to say that she's trying to distance herself from Hillary's deplorable comments and also from the comments of Joe Biden, her boss, last night.
The problem is that the main narrative of the media and of the Democrats is that That rally at Madison Square Garden was an actual neo-Nazi rally.
We covered that on Monday, this narrative about how it's a neo-Nazi rally, that it was basically the equivalent of the 1939 Nazi rally held in the United States where there were swastikas and It was an all-white audience.
They were doing the Heil Hitler salute, the Nazi salute.
There was a Jewish dissenter who was attacked by the crowd.
And we showed you all the differences between this rally that was fully multiracial, both in terms of who attended and who spoke, and that other one to which they were preposterously comparing it.
But if you actually believe that That was a neo-Nazi rally and that the supporters there were cheering for Nazi ideas.
Why wouldn't you call them garbage?
I mean, that would flow from the premise.
They're not just saying Trump is a Nazi.
They're saying Trump's movement is based on neo-Nazi fascist ideas.
So if you really believe that, why would Kamala Harris distance herself?
She should be saying, yeah, of course they're garbage.
They're Nazis.
They're fascists.
But they're afraid to follow through on their logical premises because they don't actually believe the premises at all.
This is an amazing thing.
CNN did not just do what other media outlets did to try and invent some sort of ambiguity in what Biden said.
They just outright lied about what he said.
They had Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro on with Caitlin Collins, who's really becoming One of the greatest sources of disinformation in all of media, competing with Jeffrey Goldberg and Natasha Bertrand.
I mean, she just lies continuously.
We documented that many times before.
She has a very calm demeanor as she does it.
So she can cast an appearance that she's just sort of a banal media figure lying as much as the rest, but her show is as driven by falsehoods and just blatant lies as almost any other, short of MSNBC. So they had Josh Shapiro on, and here you can see on the screen, on the left is Caitlin Collins, on the right is Governor Shapiro.
And the graphic on the screen that was there the whole time when Josh Speer was speaking about Biden's comments is, quote, is this is what they claim Biden said, quote, Joe Biden, colon, the quote, only garbage I see are Trump supporters demonizing Latinos.
That's just not what Joe Biden said.
Maybe that's what Joe Biden meant secretly in whatever brain cells continue to function.
But you can't change what Joe Biden said and put it on a screen on a news program because what he actually says is harmful to the campaign and to the candidate and the party that you want to win an election.
Unless you're a political activist willing to lie shamelessly before an election, which of course CNN has proven many times that's exactly what they're willing to do.
So here's a little bit of this as a completely fabricated quote.
Appears on the screen the whole time as they're discussing this.
Governor, first off, what's your response to that comment from President Biden where it sounds like he's calling Trump supporters there garbage?
Okay, so she's right.
It does sound like that.
You know why it sounds like that?
You know why it sounds like Biden was calling Trump supporters garbage?
It sounds like that because that's exactly what he said in words that could not have been clearer.
On the screen is a completely different quote than the one that she just correctly attributed to Biden.
And here's what Josh Spears said.
Yeah, look, I had not heard that until now, Caitlin, so I'm kind of giving you my fresh reaction to it.
I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans, even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn't support.
Okay, so both of them.
Josh Spiro only heard it while on air with CNN. That was the first time he heard it.
He heard it as clearly as we heard it.
So he just didn't try and deny that that was the meaning.
But the whole time they're talking, there's an invented quote that's completely different than the one there both correctly Assuming Biden actually said, it just shows the willingness of CNN to lie.
But also, again, Josh Speer saying, I would never insult or denigrate people who vote for a candidate that I don't support.
But why not?
Why wouldn't you?
If Donald Trump is a fascist dictator...
If he's the equivalent of Adolf Hitler trying to impose American Nazism to send journalists to camps, concentration camps, to do away with American democracy, why wouldn't you denigrate people who support a Nazi leader?
Do you not denigrate the people who went into Nazi halls in 1933 and 1937 and 1940 at rallies to cheer for Adolf Hitler, do you not condemn the people, the Americans, in 1939 who went to that rally in Madison Square Garden that was actually a Nazi rally?
I mean, if you want to claim that the Trump movement Is an actual fascist movement, you would not be saying, oh, I wouldn't condemn anybody who votes for him or participates in these Nazi rallies.
Of course you would.
Now, here was the White House today giving their instructions to the media about how to defend President Biden.
Of course, they all dutifully complied.
Here from the White House.
Remarks by President Biden on a call with Voto Latino.
So this is supposed to be the transcript of what Joe Biden said, and here's what the White House tried to get reporters to recite.
Quote, this is Biden being quoted.
Quote, and just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico, quote, a floating island of garbage.
Well, let me tell you something.
I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know or a Puerto Rican.
So just look at that.
Look at...
The incoherence even in their cleaned up transcript.
And just the other day a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.
Well, let me...
Well, let me tell you something.
I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know, or a Puerto Rico where I'm from, he was about to say, and then he stopped himself.
And, I mean, even in this cleaned-up rally that they're trying to...
He says, or a Puerto Rico where I'm from, and then he said, in my home state, they're good, decent, honorable people.
The only garbage I see floating around, floating out there, is his supporters.
And they put that apostrophe there.
So he wasn't saying the only garbage I see out there floating around is Trump supporters.
They tried to make it his supporters apostrophe S. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's totally un-American.
It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been in.
They were telling reporters this apostrophe was the key to everything.
Because it means he wasn't calling Trump supporters garbage, even though you all heard that with your own ears twice.
And even CNN when they first heard it, even Josh Shapiro when he first heard it couldn't deny it.
He was actually just saying what he thinks is garbage is his supporters, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American.
It doesn't even make sense grammatically.
When you put that apostrophe in there, of course that apostrophe wasn't there.
He called Trump supporters garbage.
But here's how the media outlets complied with their marching orders.
From Politico, the headline, Biden sparks a firestorm on the right over garbage.
He sparks a firestorm on the right.
Do you see what they do?
If Trump tells a lie or a falsehood or an exaggeration, according to the media, they don't say the Democrats seize on Trump's falsehood.
They'll just say Trump lies about X, Y, and Z. They don't say Trump's comment sparks a firestorm on the left.
But here they can't admit that Biden said something that harmed Kamala Harris' campaign, so they have to frame it as Biden sparks a firestorm on the right over, quote, garbage.
Quote, the White House scrambled Tuesday night to clean up a remark by President Joe Biden, who appeared to refer.
Again, that's the same language the New York Times use.
He appeared to refer.
You know why he appeared to refer?
Because he did refer.
Who appeared to refer to Donald Trump's supporters as, quote, garbage.
Though the president and his aides vehemently denied that was his intention.
Quote, the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
So here's that apostrophe that the White House told them to use, that Politico is now using when quoting him.
They're putting that apostrophe in there.
Is his supporters, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American, Biden said in Zoom call.
Quote, it's totally contrary to everything we've been done.
We've done everything we've been.
So the White House invents a transcript with an apostrophe mark that blatantly was not there, and then Politico, when they go to quote what Biden said, doesn't quote the actual words that you could all hear Biden uses.
It quotes the White House's attempt to grammatically confuse what he said to pretend he didn't say it.
Here from the Washington Post, which was even worse, remember, this is the paper that Has immense credibility.
It's a very august and trustworthy journalistic institution.
They speak truth to power.
And that's why it was so bad that Jeff Bezos blocked an endorsement of Kamala Harris because this newspaper is such an American treasure that they don't take crap from anybody.
They just do journalism, regardless of who it harms.
And here's how they decided to Did Biden call Trump supporters garbage?
It comes down to an apostrophe.
An apostrophe that wasn't there, that Democrats invented.
Republicans have long strained for a new Hillary Clinton's deplorable moment, but Biden's defense is entirely plausible.
Now, again, this is not an op-ed.
This is a news article.
Saying that what's happening here is that Republicans have long been attempting to find some comment that they could compare to Hillary Clinton's deplorable comment and they're doing it here even though Biden's defense of what he said is quote, entirely plausible because according to the article quote, it may come down to the placement of an apostrophe And it's worth a parse.
The controversy centers on jumbled comments Biden made on a call with Latino voters.
Biden invoked comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's clip at a Trump rally Sunday labeling Puerto Rico a, quote, floating island of garbage.
Comments that many Republicans and even the Trump campaign have distanced themselves from.
Quote, just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage, Biden said, before his stumbles began.
And then the key line.
I'll offer three different versions which significantly change Biden's meaning with the key part bolded.
So they have these three formulations.
The only garbage I see floating out there is the supporters, period, which is exactly what he said.
Then the next option that they offer, that's option number one.
They're offering three different options how to interpret and understand a comment that could not have been clear out of Joe Biden's mouth.
Quote, the second option is, the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, apostrophe, his, his, the, can we get that on the screen, the option number two?
There it is on the screen.
So this is the second option.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters with the apostrophe S. And then here's the third interpretation that the Washington Post says you can use, all of which are entirely plausible.
Quote, the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, apostrophe S, is his demonization of Latinos, his unconscionable, and his un-American.
Quote, Republicans favor the first one!
Because it would mean labeling at least some of Trump's supporters, quote, garbage.
No, Republicans favor the first one because that's what he actually said.
Anyone could, even Caitlin Collins and Josh Shapiro operated on the assumption, even though there was a screen right on the bottom of the screen as they spoke, inventing a completely false opposite meaning.
But when they heard it, they both were like, yeah, we have to admit this is what Biden said.
And somehow the Washington Post decided, oh, there's three different options.
They're entirely plausible.
Maybe there was an apostrophe in there, which even if you put in there, it still makes no sense.
He stopped his sentence after supporters and said, no one had to say Trump's demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.
All right, here, it's not the first time that Joe Biden, obviously, or other Democrats have spoken this way about people With whom he disagrees or people who don't snap into line before the Democratic Party.
Here was Joe Biden on C-SPAN in February of this year talking about people who have skepticism about the theories of climate change that Biden believes in.
There's no such thing as climate change.
I love that, man.
I love some of my Neanderthal friends who still think there's no climate change.
Alright, so people who are skeptical of climate change theories are Neanderthals.
Remember, even when he was on The Breakfast Club running for president in 2020, when the host noted to him that, hey, there are a lot of, like, black people who are saying they're not convinced they should vote for you, and he responded by saying, look, if you're black, if you aren't sure by now that you're voting for me, you ain't black.
This is how they think, that if you don't snap in the line behind Democrats, it means you're a bad person.
Here was Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, getting asked about these Biden comments.
And again, the Kamala Harris campaign wants Joe Biden to just stay quiet, to go to bed, not to appear at all.
And because he just popped up, in the easiest setting, he wasn't being interviewed, he wasn't being questioned or pressed.
He was just on a Zoom call.
And he managed to just consume the entire day, all of Kamala's day, her big campaign day, that was supposed to be about her glorious speech.
They wanted to do a fourth day Of an analysis about Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico instead that it even made the press room just because Biden appeared and his brain spit this out.
Here is what she had to say when I'm being asked about this by the press.
I just addressed the president's comments yesterday referring to Trump's supporter as garbage.
And I know he's trying to clarify that he's...
I want to talk about what the person said.
But one, I guess I want to know, does he think less of Americans who support Trump than he does of those who do not?
And two, why is he using that kind of rhetoric?
How is that presidential?
So a couple of things, a couple of things.
So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is why he put out, this is why he wanted to make sure that we put out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say.
And so just want to make that very clear for folks who are watching.
And I just want to read that out to folks.
So he was regarding to the comedian, and I quote, We just stopped this for a second.
We need to restart that.
And I quote, "I refer to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage, which is the only word I can think of to describe His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.
That's all I meant to say.
The comments, the comments at the rally don't reflect who we are as a nation.
And to your Your other question that you asked, no, he does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage.
That is not what he views.
The president has said this for more than three years now.
He has said multiple times that he is a president for all.
It doesn't matter if you live in a red state.
It doesn't matter if you live in a blue state.
He has said this himself.
I have said it on his behalf.
He believes that he is a president for all.
And it doesn't matter who you voted for.
It doesn't matter if you voted for him or not.
He's a president for all.
But hateful rhetoric, hateful rhetoric that he hears.
And this is something that we've done many times from here.
Okay.
Anyway, that was like a two full minute.
Imagine how angry the Kamala Harris campaign has to be of Joe Biden.
I mean, I do think there's, I don't want to armchair psychoanalyze Biden, but remember that he wanted to run.
He was adamant that he should run.
He was insistent that he was definitely the best candidate, that he would beat Trump.
He's been chasing this office his entire life.
And the people who he thought were his closest allies, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, didn't just say, you have to get out of this race.
They threatened him.
They were leaking against him.
Like, gradually.
People like George Coonley were like, this isn't the same Biden.
I know Democratic donors were saying, we're not going to fund your campaign unless you get out.
They were putting the screws on him in every conceivable way possible.
And he got it out of the race for every reason other than because he wanted to.
You don't think there's a part of Joe Biden that's enraged by the Democratic Party?
I mean, it really is true.
Imagine, he's been in Washington for 50 years.
These are his friends for 50 years who were leaking against him and then threatening to even go so far as to use the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.
He didn't leave.
Remember Nancy Pelosi said, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way.
It's why Harry Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog, because these people will stab you in the back the first second that it serves their interest of power to do so.
And that's what they did to him.
There's, of course, some part of him that wants Kamala Harris to lose because that will be able to vindicate his view that he was the best candidate.
And I'm sure part of him wants Kamala to win because it sort of reflects well on his Term if his vice president ends up winning.
But someone who fights and claws and scratches in Washington for 50 years to gain nothing other than power is not a person who just takes something like that happily and says, oh, I don't want any revenge and just I'm okay with it.
There's definitely some sabotage in that brain.
We've seen it many times before.
I mean, they've said to him, we don't want you appearing.
It doesn't help us.
And he just keeps insisting.
Tim Walz went on CBS News today, and he also was asked about it.
I just think it's so funny how Joe Biden just pops up and then destroys the 24-hour news cycle of Kamala Harris' campaign.
Here's what he said when asked.
We're talking about it.
We're joined now by the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota.
Governor, thank you for joining us.
Appreciate it.
Good morning, Tony.
Thanks for having me.
I want to get your reaction to the president's comments, but I want to put it into a larger context of your recent comment comparing the Sunday Trump rally to a Nazi rally.
And I would also throw in there Obama's bitter clingers, guns and religion comment from a while back, the deplorable line from Hillary Clinton's campaign, and the way that Democrats are seen by some voters as disrespecting them.
And I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign?
No, certainly not.
And for Tony, for me, I've represented rural areas.
I've represented Democrats, Republicans, Independents.
Same thing with the Vice President.
Look, you saw a presidential speech last night at the Ellipse that is the best of America.
One that's talking about unifying us.
One that's talking about bringing folks to the table.
One that the American tradition of disagreeing and debating, but still doing it in a respectful manner.
And I think the frustration we've seen since January 6th, the frustration with Donald Trump's rhetoric of division, it does fire passions.
And I think President Biden was very clear that he's speaking about the rhetoric we heard at that.
So it doesn't undermine it.
People are hungry to come back together.
They're hungry to find a unifying message.
They're hungry for us to find solutions, whether it's prices or whether it's reproductive care.
They want to see solutions.
It just, it doesn't make any sense.
I mean, the premise of the question was, hey, remember that you compared Donald Trump's rally to a Nazi rally, meaning the people who were there and cheering were supporting a new Hitler, a Nazi fascist movement.
And he went on to say, look, I would never insult those people who were there for that Nazi rally.
And there were all those examples.
Obama in 2008, here from Politico, was when he said, one trying to explain why a lot of conservatives are hostile to Obama's campaign, he said, because they cling to their religion and to their guns and to their xenophobia.
Obama said, quote, just for those who don't remember, you go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them.
And they fell through the Clinton administration and the Bush administration and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not.
And it's not surprising then that they get bitter.
They cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigration sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Very similar to what Trump said, to what Obama said in this campaign cycle just a month ago about black men who are reluctant to vote for Kamala Harris that, oh, it must just be because there's misogynistic sentiments within them.
That is what they think about every person who does not Immediately get in line with them.
They really do assume.
They do.
This is how liberals think.
They assume that people who support Republicans do so solely because they're either stupid or racist or filled with some other bigotry.
It's pure condescension.
And it's why it constantly comes out.
Of course, they try and clean it up afterwards, but it comes out of the mouth of virtually every Democrat.
Here was the Hillary Clinton comment in 2016.
You could put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.
Right?
The audience loved it.
And here's why she said that was justified.
The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.
But that other basket of people are people who feel the government has let them down.
The economy has let them down.
Nobody cares about them.
Because nobody does care about them.
And that's what they've come to see.
People try, Democrats try to speak politely and admiringly and softly and with compassion about them whenever there's an election approaching every four years.
But they know that the political system does not, in fact, care about them, that it condescends to them, it sees them as broken, as primitive.
And every time Democrats say something like this, the one that came out of Biden's mouth today, Obama's, Hillary's, even just going around calling them all racist as Obama did as to why they won't vote for or misogynistic as they won't vote for Kamala, reinforces this idea that Democrats see anybody who doesn't obey them as inferior.
And that's the only reason why this resonated so much.
If it's just a misspeak that has no connection to anything that is already believed, it doesn't really resonate.
It only resonates if people already believe that this is how Democrats think, and then something gets said that reinforces it, and that's exactly what happened here.
But I do want to say the most important part of all of this is something that, again, very few people are discussing.
You see Joe Biden, he cannot speak.
His brain does not work.
Even the stuff around that comment was so incoherent, even as the White House tried to clean it up in the transcript, you still read it.
There's no coherence to it.
It's not cogent.
You can't complete a sentence.
And there have been, we've covered it many times over the last three to six months, extremely consequential and debatable policy decisions on the part of the US government and the Biden administration.
Deploying American troops and the American military to the Mideast in order to defend Israel against possible escalation with Iran or Hezbollah, bombing the Houthis, bombing various places in Iraq, sending more military assets over to the region, allocating billions more to the war in Ukraine.
We're supposed to have, in this country, civilian command of the military.
We're supposed to elect the head of the executive branch and nobody else is entitled or empowered to make decisions of that magnitude other than the president.
But you have somebody who Democrats basically now admit, that's why they forced him out of the race, cannot function.
He cannot think.
He cannot understand complex issues.
He can't analyze facts.
His brain doesn't work.
And the vice president...
Who doesn't really have any power unless you remove the president, which they haven't done.
But even if you want to say, well, okay, maybe the vice president's doing that.
We know that she, as I guess is natural, is focused only on one thing from the minute she wakes up until the minute she goes to sleep, which is not the policy of the U.S. government, but instead is the attempt to empower herself to succeed Joe Biden in the campaign.
So when we hear these announcements about the U.S. government decided this or decided that, who is making those decisions?
We know it isn't Joe Biden.
We know it's not him.
We really don't know who it is.
You can guess.
You can speculate.
Maybe his cabinet officials like Anthony Blinken and Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon.
Maybe his advisors in the White House.
But this is a complete subversion of democracy when you don't have an elected official who's running the government.
And I think in all of this, that is the most notable aspect of all of this.
We are always happy to talk about CB distillery.
I think it is really a product that can help with a lot of things.
I know it's helped with me and I recommend it very genuinely.
These days, if you have any kind of problem Not a serious problem necessarily, but just an ordinary problem.
Not being able to sleep or having anxiety disorders or having pain.
You go to any doctor and they will immediately just prescribe medication.
And your medicine cabinet will be filled with all kinds of pills.
And even if they help in the interim, eventually you're not going to be sleeping.
You're still going to have pain.
You're still going to be stressed out.
These medications don't really work for the long term.
And you're just filling your body with pharmaceutical products.
And that's how, for a long time, I dealt with those issues.
I would go to a doctor and take the medication they prescribed until I started looking for more organic sources, one of which that can really reset your health that did with me is this CBD product from CBD Distillery.
It's been a real change.
CBD Distillery's targeted formulations are made from the highest quality clean ingredients.
There's no fluff or no fillers, just pure, effective CBD solutions designed to help support your health.
If you're not sure what CBD is, it's the industrial hemp plant.
That contains 120 naturally occurring active compounds called cannabinoids.
So if people hear hemp or anything like cannabis, they immediately assume that it must have something to do with marijuana.
But CBD is one of the compounds found in the hemp plant.
It's naturally occurring.
What makes marijuana mean marijuana is the narcotic THC. That's the most well-known drug.
Cannabis product that is associated with marijuana is psychoactive properties and unlike THC, CBD does not cause a high effect.
It doesn't cause you to be drugged out.
No offense to people who like marijuana, just that CBD is not that.
It is purely naturally occurring.
It doesn't have THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
It grows purely organically and therefore can offer all sorts of benefits and relief without having to fill your cabinet with all sorts of medications that you take every day.
If you struggle with a health concern or just kind of some stress in life or an inability to sleep and haven't found relief, you can make the change like I did to CBD Distillery with over 2 million customers and a solid 100% money.
Money-back guarantee.
CB Distillery is the source to trust.

Promo code RUMBLE. We have talked many times about the very odd dynamic that exists between the United States and Israel.
Essentially, Israel would not be able to have a sophisticated military.
It would not be able to fund its military.
It would not be able to go around threatening its neighbors or have protracted wars every few years and bomb people, except for the fact that the United States pays for all of that.
In an agreement negotiated between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu on the way out of Obama's administration, they signed a deal that automatically transfers $4 billion of taxpayer money every year from the American Treasury to the state of Israel.
That's automatic.
It just happens no matter what.
Some of that is required to be spent on American arms dealers.
So it profits Raytheon and General Dynamics and Boeing.
But a lot of it they can just use how they want to use it.
All that, despite the fact that Israelis get benefits from their government, that millions of Americans are without.
The Israelis have a higher standard of living than millions of Americans, even though the United States subsidizes and pays for this foreign country's military.
And then on top of that $4 billion we give them, every time they have a war, every time they're thinking about a war, we send them billions more.
And not just send them billions more for free.
They can just here's billions more to use to buy military bombs, to buy bombs and missiles and other military equipment that you need.
We send them the arms as well.
We send them all these bombs to the point we deplete our own stockpiles And every bond they're dropping is either paid for with American money or comes from the United States itself as made in the USA. And the whole world knows this.
When people in the world see images of Gaza being destroyed and thousands of children, tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza dying continuously, everyone in the world knows it's an American war.
It's from the United States.
So you would think that would create a dependency on the part of the state of Israel.
Where because we pay for their wars, because we enable them to fight these wars and to fund their military, you would think that if the United States government says, hey, this thing that you're doing or are considering doing, we don't want you to do because it's contrary to our interest, it would mean, of course, Israel would immediately say, oh, I guess we can't do it.
That's how Ukraine functions.
Ukraine is dependent on the United States.
So if the United States comes and says, we don't want you to diplomatically resolve this war with Russia, as Zelensky was going to do at the beginning of the war, Ukraine has to say, okay, whatever you say, we'll do what you say, because we need you.
We depend on you financially.
And Ukraine has done everything the United States has directed it to do.
Because that's the normal situation when someone is completely financially dependent on you, they're required in return to listen to the things that you want and say.
Not necessarily fully or obediently, but certainly to take them into serious account.
And on the cases where the United States says, what you're about to do harms our interests and we don't want you to do them, you would think Israel would not do them.
Because a country that just says, hey, F you, we're going to defy everything you say, the natural response would be, okay, well then we're not going to continue to fund you if you're going to do things that...
Harm our interests, such as starving Gazans to death in front of the entire world, which turns countries against us, which makes it impossible for us to do deals, which brings the world closer and closer to China and away from us.
The United States probably doesn't care morally about humanitarian in Gaza, but strategically it might.
And so the Israelis...
Had discussed that the Knesset, their legislature, was returning this week, and there were members of the Netanyahu government that were advocating a bill to ban the only aid agency capable of delivering humanitarian assistance and food and medicine and water to the people in Gaza who are without it, which is UNRWA. And the Israelis were saying, we're going to consider a law that will ban UNRWA from operating in Israel and therefore in Gaza.
We'll prevent them from distributing any aid in Gaza.
And on Monday, the day that the Knesset returned, Matthew Miller, the U.S. State Department spokesman, who has spent a year and a month or however long since October 7th of last year defending pretty much everything Israel does, even massacres and the worst things you can imagine.
He was asked about this law that some Israelis were considering implementing, and here's what he said.
He's examining a legislation that would ban UNRWA, that would be able to work in Israel and in East Jerusalem.
What are your thoughts on that?
So, we have made quite clear to the government of Israel that We are deeply concerned by this proposed legislation.
The Secretary raised this in the letter that he sent with the Secretary of Defense to Minister of Defense Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Dermer a little over two weeks ago.
As he made clear in that letter, the passage of this legislation could have implications under US law and US policy.
That remains the case.
Iran plays a critical, important role in delivering humanitarian assistance to civilians that need it in Gaza.
That's not the only role they play.
They play an important role providing services to Palestinians in the West Bank and throughout the region as well.
But they really play an irreplaceable role right now in Gaza, where they are on the front lines getting humanitarian assistance to the people that need it.
There's nobody that can replace them right now in the middle of the crisis.
We continue to urge the government of Israel to pause the implementation of this legislation.
We urge them not to pass it at all.
And we will consider next steps based on what happens in the days.
Okay, so that was about as strong as you will hear the United States government being when telling Israel, don't do this.
Now, I happened to watch that State Department briefing live on Monday, and I knew the Israeli Knesset was planning to meet later that day and would likely implement that law, the very law that the United States said, we don't want you to pass.
If you pass it, you're going to basically prevent humanitarian aid from getting into Gaza.
Two hours after that press briefing, two hours, three hours at the most, The Israeli government went and just overwhelmingly passed that law, the very law that the United States says you should not pass because it's going to make it impossible to get humanitarian aid to Gaza.
They didn't even pretend to take into account what the United States government was saying.
They didn't even wait a day.
They did it the very day that, in a very public way, the United States government stood up and said, we're against this law.
This law is horrific.
And we urge the Israelis not to implement it.
From the New York Times, that same day, Israel's parliament passes bills banning agency that aids Palestinians.
Quote, Which has warned that the legislation could prompt an even greater humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Most of the law's provisions will not take effect for three months and their full legal ramifications were not immediately clear.
The relief agency has played a critical role in coordinating desperately needed humanitarian aid.
Israel has criticized UNRWA for decades, arguing that its work aiding Palestinian refugees and their descendants further perpetuated the longstanding territorial conflict with Israel.
The Israeli government has accused a handful of the agency's 13,000 employees in Gaza of participating in the Hamas on October 7th attacks on Israel last year that triggered the war.
that triggered the war.
The legislation passed on Monday night had the potential to push the agency's operation into precarious and unchartered territory.
The legislation passed on Monday night had the potential to push the agency's operation into precarious and unchartered territory.
So you can't really get defiance greater than that, although this is by far not the first time that Israel has done this over the last year, and they've done it in ways even more humiliating still.
They seem to take some sort of joy and pride in publicly humiliating the U.S., making completely clear that they don't care in the slightest what the U.S. government wants, or at least claims it wants, pretends publicly to want as we head into an election.
But it's still the entire world sees the United States government telling what should be its vassal state because it finances it, Don't do this.
And immediately, Israel turns around and says, we're doing exactly what you just told us not to do.
On October 13th, basically two weeks ago, a letter was sent to the Israeli government from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Pentagon Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, basically telling Israel, You are creating a serious humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and if you don't take actions to alleviate the starvation and the suffering, you have 30 days to do it, and if you don't do it, we're going to strongly consider freezing armed shipments to you.
Now, they immediately ran to the press and said, oh, we're not saying we're going to freeze arms embargo.
We're just saying we would consider it if they don't do the things that we asked for.
And again, the 30 days just so happens to expire after the election.
So they may be doing this for political cover to show Arab voters with whom they're in a lot of trouble in Michigan and elsewhere that they're at least trying.
And then after the election, They're not going to care about this at all.
But still, publicly, it looks again like the United States is issuing demands and decrees to Israel that they're just ignoring.
Here's part of what that letter said that was very flamboyantly and publicly sent to Yulv Galant, the Minister of Defense for Israel, as well as the Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer.
Dear Ministers, the humanitarian situation for over 2 million civilians in Gaza is increasingly dire.
We are particularly concerned that recent actions by the Israeli government, including halting commercial imports, denying or impeding nearly 90% of humanitarian movements between northern and southern Gaza in September, continuing burdensome and excessive dual-use restrictions, and instituting new vetting and continuing burdensome and excessive dual-use restrictions, and instituting new vetting and onerous liability and customs requirements for humanitarian staff and shipments, together with increased lawlessness and looting, are contributing to an accelerated deterioration in the condition in Gaza related to the United
Relatedly, we are deeply concerned about the potential adoption of Knesset legislation to remove certain privileges and immunities from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and its staff to prohibit contact with UNRWA and change the status quo regarding UNRWA in Jerusalem.
While we share your concerns about the serious allegations of certain UNRWA employees participating on October 7th, We ask that you take all possible steps,
whether with lawmakers or using the authorities of the Prime Minister's office, to ensure that it does not come to pass.
We also urge you to provide UNRWA with additional information regarding these allegations, just as we continue to urge UNRWA to ensure it has a process in place to implement reforms to ensure confidence in the totality of UNRWA's personnel.
So that was a letter designed to threaten Israel and say, if you continue to starve the Palestinian population to block off food and water and medicine, Under our law, and this has been a law that the United States has been violating for almost a year now, the United States is barred from sending weapons or money to purchase weapons to any country that is engaged in war crimes, which obviously includes collective punishment of Palestinians or any attempt to starve them.
And the Israelis have done nothing in that letter.
In fact, since that letter was sent, fewer trucks and humanitarian aid were has been allowed by the IDF into Northern Gaza.
I think we're going to find out in just a little bit with full confirmed certainty.
We're already getting a lot of reports that I regard as reliable.
Though what's happening in Northern Gaza is an atrocity on a level that we haven't seen in this century.
The things we're hearing from Northern Gaza are beyond horrific.
In terms of the Israeli military targeting and just blowing up multiple residential buildings and apartments with entire families inside.
They have attacked the hospital.
There's basically no ambulance service.
There's no health care system.
There's no hospital system to treat the wounded.
They just die.
They began giving vaccines for polio, since polio is spreading in Gaza, where it had been previously eradicated, to children and other people, and they only got the first dose, and now nobody can get in to give the second dose, which is required for it to be effective.
And just the amount of sadism and destruction.
We've seen IDF soldiers posting videos laughing as they destroy buildings and talking about how this is where they're going to rebuild and have all sorts of beautiful Israeli apartment buildings with beach views.
So I think the United States government, in part, is trying to pretend that it's doing something to express concern because the history is going to show what this actually was.
And the United States government has been funding it and arming it all the time, even if they were publicly pretending that they wanted it to be a little softer.
Here's something that Matthew Miller was asked about on October 29th regarding the U.S. relationship with Israel.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel, there were reports about that, that he was being in touch with Israeli opposition leaders about this legislation not to move forward, so that Israeli MPs who were actually backing that bill kind of felt under pressure by so-called U.S. interference.
So I'm not going to speak to particular conversations with the government of Israel, but we made quite clear in a letter from the Secretary, from himself, and from this podium, that we are opposed to the implementation of that legislation and that there could be consequences under U.S. law and U.S. policy for the implementation of that legislation.
So I don't think we could have been any more clear about our position when it comes to this bill.
Ben, Anra, what do you think about this whole...
Direction of this whole Israel versus UN situation going, like Israel attacking UNIFL in Lebanon, Israel wanting to, discussing to ban UNRWA in Gaza and also Israel, and also Israeli foreign minister multiple times, criticizing UN Secretary General for asking ceasefire or uninterrupted humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza,
which is I think in a number of important ways, the relationship between Israel and the United Nations is not one that's productive and is not one that serves the citizens of Israel well.
It certainly doesn't serve the Palestinian people well.
In a number of different contexts, we have urged the government of Israel to work more cooperatively with the United Nations, particularly to work more cooperatively with the United Nations humanitarian organizations that are delivering humanitarian assistance to people inside Gaza.
Now, this has always been one of the most remarkable things about the U.S.-Israeli relationship is that many times key American officials like David Petraeus and State Department officials have come out and said, and they're always forced to apologize afterwards, that our close relationship and they're always forced to apologize afterwards, that our close relationship with Israel is what generates the anti-American hatred in that
That's a major reason why so many people in that region hate us, because they know we're the ones empowering Israel and enabling Israel to just slaughter Muslims and Arabs whenever they feel like it, with no restraints at all.
The United States government never stops them, never imposes limits, just continues to do whatever the Israeli government wants.
In other words, our own interests are severely undermined by what Israel does.
And many times the United States government has told Israel publicly not to do things that the Israelis just completely ignore and proceed to do anyway.
Here was one of the most flagrant.
This was in March of 2024.
Here from Politico, Biden says that it's a red line For Israel to invade Rafa.
Rafa was the refugee camp where all the Palestinians had been told by the Israeli military to go.
That was designed to be a safe space for them.
And so a large percentage of the Gaza population went to the refugee camp in Rafa.
And then the IDF and Netanyahu started talking about bombing it and invading it militarily and forcing the people who had gone all the way from their homes to Rafa To either die or have to find somewhere else to go.
Talk about old people and young children constantly being displaced internally.
So Joe Biden came out and used the phrase red line, which is president talk for this isn't something we're asking.
This is something if you do, if you cross, there will be grave consequences.
That was Politico, March 10, 2024.
Biden warns of a, quote, red line for Israel of Arafa.
Cyprus said eight ships get ready to open humanitarian sea corridor to Gaza.
So, at the time, it was unthinkable that the IDF would...
Invade Rafa.
And yet that very same day, here from Politico, the same day, March 10th, quote, Netanyahu vows to defy Biden's red line on Rafa.
Quote, when asked on Sunday whether Israeli forces would move into Rafa, Netanyahu replied, we'll go there.
We're not going to leave them.
You know, I have a red line.
You know, I have a red line, too.
You know what my red line is?
That October 7th doesn't happen again.
Never happens again.
The prime minister was referring to the murderous Hamas raid that killed more than 1,160 people in Israel and triggered the war.
So the U.S., not only did they invade RAFA, and at first the U.S. government said, oh, they're just invading it a little bit.
We were meant a real invasion, like a full-scale invasion.
They destroyed RAFA. They bombed it.
They shelled it.
The entire military went in, totally ignored Biden, and made very clear that they were going to ignore Biden.
And obviously there was not a single...
Consequence at all.
The United States just gets humiliated over and over by Israel.
Now, you may want to say, no, this isn't the Israelis humiliating the United States because what the United States is pretending in public it wants Israel to do, they tell them in private, keep going.
We're fine if you invade Rafa.
We're fine if you choke off northern Gaza.
And that may very well be true.
But at least the appearance that's being created, even if it's not the reality, is that the U.S. makes demands of Israel, gives them ultimatums, And the Israelis openly stick their middle finger up at the U.S. Netanyahu laughs at these demands, even these red lines.
And right in front of the whole world just does exactly what the United States demands that they don't do, and nothing happens.
The U.S. is petrified of alienating Israel for reasons that are well-known and that we've talked about many times before.
We've had John Mearsheimer on and Stephen Waldon, both of whom are the authors of the Israel lobby.
That talk about the great power of the pro-Israel lobby in the United States.
It was a 2006 book.
I've asked both of them whether that still applies.
And both of them have said, if anything, the pro-Israel lobby is even stronger now.
So the U.S. government is petrified, especially with an election looming, but in general, of defying Israel in any way, even if it means sacrificing U.S. interests to do so.
Just today, there was a U.N. vote.
Where the entire world, and I mean the entire world, when I say the entire world, I don't mean what the U.S. means when they say the international community, like a handful of countries that agree with the U.S. whenever the U.S. says the international community is united against Putin.
What they mean is the U.S., Western Europe, maybe Australia, Japan, and that's pretty much it.
The rest of the world doesn't count as the international community.
When I say the entire world, I mean every single country on this planet.
It opposes the embargo that the United States has imposed on Cuba for six decades now that has suffocated and strangled that island.
It hasn't changed the government.
It hasn't caused any suffering among the leaders of the government, the ostensible reason to do it, but it has completely immiserated the population.
The embargo means that not only can American companies not engage in any trade with Cuba, and not only are American citizens barred from even visiting Cuba, let alone doing business with Cuba, If you even try to go to Cuba by coming from Mexico or South America, you are subject to felony charges from the United States government.
But they also, part of the sanctions, are that no company in the world is permitted to trade with Cuba, and if a country does trade with Cuba, the United States government will then sanction them, which will harm that company a great deal because of the supremacy of the U.S. dollar.
And it's just had the effect of preventing any money from entering Cuba, any goods from entering Cuba, from them selling their goods, with very rare exception.
And the entire world is against it.
Even Western Europe, even the allies in Asia.
And there was a vote today at the UN calling for the end to the US embargo in Cuba.
Every single country on the planet, every single country, even Ukraine, Voted yes to end this embargo.
This embargo is evil.
It's immoral.
It's destructive.
There were only three countries that did not vote yes.
One of them abstained.
That was Moldova.
The only two countries who voted no on this resolution were the United States and Israel.
We constantly are the rogue countries in the world.
We constantly tie ourselves to Israel and we stay together and we isolate ourselves from the rest of the world.
Many of the UN resolutions on Israel, the United States either vetoed, even though the whole world was in favor, or stood alone only with Israel and a couple of other stray countries in order to defend Israel.
So, Matthew Miller, the White House, the State Department spokesman, was asked today about this as well.
Like, why is the U.S. and Israel alone in the world insisting on the continuation of the suffocation of Cuba that never changes the government, doesn't affect the government at all, just makes the people in Cuba have miserable lives and face constant generation-long deprivation?
And here's what he said.
So the vote happened today in the UN on the Cuba embargo.
You know what the vote was?
Yeah, it was a predictable vote in line with past votes.
Yeah, exactly.
But just for the record, let's say it was 187 to 2, one abstention.
The one abstention wasn't even a Pacific Island nation.
It was Moldova.
Yeah.
I'm aware of the long history of UN votes on this matter.
Yes, okay.
So at what point, though, are you guys going to realize that the entire world...
With the exception of you and Israel, thinks that the embargo is a really bad idea and should be stopped?
Look, I think we are quite clear on the opinion of other countries around the world, and it's one with which we disagree.
We take their opinion seriously, but we make our own policy determinations.
It's 32 years in a row, with the exception of one year when you guys abstain.
We do?
Look, we take their views quite seriously, but we make our own determinations about these matters, and we disagree.
You take their views quite seriously?
That's just not borne out by the facts that you continue to persist with this.
We take them seriously, but we make our own decisions and others.
Okay, and are you comfortable then with just once again, it's just you and Israel standing up?
Certainly we would welcome other countries sharing our opinion of this, but we're not blind to the history of countries around the world having a very different view of this matter.
Long predates this administration.
But as I said, we make our own determinations.
And with that...
No, it's very similar to Israel.
There's absolutely no reason to suffocate the island of Cuba.
Except for the fact that there is a large Cuban population in the United States and other Latino citizens who have come from places in Latin America like Venezuela that are very anti-communist.
Those are often the people who end up in the United States and they just want to see punitive measures against Cuba to just expel their hatred against the Cuban government and communist leaders.
The problem is it has no effect.
It has no success.
It has no purpose other than to cause the people in that country to suffer.
And the only reason the United States is willing to isolate itself from the entire world and insist on a policy that has been going on for six decades and is afraid to end the embargo in Cuba is the same reason they're afraid to defy Israel for purely domestic political reasons.
They don't want to alienate the pro-Israel voters and pro-Israel donors, both Jews and evangelicals and whoever else has a great affinity to Israel, and they don't want to alienate Cuban and Latino voters, especially Cuban voters in Florida, Latino voters in Kisling States, even and they don't want to alienate Cuban and Latino voters, especially Cuban voters in Florida, Latino voters in Kisling States, even if it means continuing to not only impose extreme suffering on the people of Cuba who they're ostensibly trying to help, but also, again,
help, but also, again, appearing to the rest of the world to be this country that just goes around making huge numbers of people suffer with their superior military force and their superior financial power.
And that is what is driving more and more countries away from the United States and into the arms of competing alliances, including the one led by China.
And the U.S. government just seems from one president to the next, from one party to the next, to be attached to these policies, even though they so blatantly harm American interests.
As we talked about earlier, health and dealing with stress are something that has always been important to me, especially as I know people in my life and see people in my life all the time who are frequently consumed by all sorts of political realities, even, that can be stressful or depressing.
Do things like exercise and maintain a healthy diet.
And it's why, as I've said before, I take CBD to decrease my stress levels and to help me get a good night's sleep.
But along with family members and friends and looking into the research, one of the things I learned is that not just humans, but also pets, dogs, and the like, Might benefit from taking CBD as well.
Dogs are a very central part of my life.
We have 26 at home.
We have a dog shelter that rescues hundreds of dogs.
And so obviously dogs are extremely important to me.
I would never do an ad about a product for dogs that I didn't completely trust that I didn't start using myself.
CBD can also help dogs who are particularly stressed out, especially older dogs, can benefit from the pain relief it confers, from the help that it gives in terms of sleeping.
There's a lot of research on that.
Now that's the reason for our newest sponsor, which is King Canine.
I'm very happy about this.
I spent a lot of time on the phone talking with this company, looking at the research that supports this product.
They develop quality CBD alongside special de-shedding combs and other animal care products for your furry Family members, meaning your pets.
CBD is proven to decrease inflammation, aid with sleep, and decrease seizures, not just among humans but dogs as well.
And just so you aren't worried, CBD is a perfectly legal non-hallucinogenic compound that won't get your pets high or loopy.
King Canine is a product that I recommend to family members and friends.
We've begun using it both on my dogs and at the shelter.
And it's working very well.
It's something that I'm very thankful for considering that I have, as I said, a lot of dogs at home and a lot of dogs for which I'm responsible.
To get started with all of the great products King Canine has to offer, not just CBD, but a bunch of other products as well.
It's created by people who are also...
Completely devoted to dogs.
People who rescue dogs, who have dog shelters, who have numerous dogs at their house because they're constantly rescuing dogs.
It's not just a company that looked to exploit a market opportunity.
It's people who love dogs as much as anybody.
A lot of the conversation I had with them was about exactly that sort of thing.
If you want to...
Look at their products, which I hope you will.
Definitely consider.
You can head over to their store for a 10% off discount with the special code GLENN.
That's G-L-E-N-N at checkout to receive 10% off of all of the wonderful products King Canine has to offer.
There is actually an election day that is only five days away that will determine who the next president of the United States will be and which party controls the executive branch.
It's obviously consequential.
There's also elections that will determine the composition of the United States Senate and the U.S. House as well that are part of that same process.
And I just wanted to give you a little bit of our perspective and analysis on this.
First of all, Ever since I've been writing about politics and doing journalism, the part of the year that I've always hated the most is in the weeks or even a month or two months leading into a, especially a national election.
I remember in 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, again now, the same sort of unpleasantries happen.
First of all, people who are partisan get even more partisan, meaning people just lose any interest in what's happening in the world, in what's true, and the only thing they care about is saying things or doing things that help one party, their candidate, and damage the other.
And I don't blame them.
I'm not criticizing that.
That is what political activism is for.
That is what political activism should be about, doing everything possible to elect.
I don't see myself as being a political activist.
I try very hard to keep journalism separate from that.
And that is something very important to me.
It's a major criticism I have, in fact, of the current corporate media, is that they have become political activists.
So...
That's not really an option to just sit here and cheer every night for a candidate.
There are a lot of shows doing very well, attracting a lot of attention and readership and traffic and profit that do that.
That's certainly something we can do, but it wouldn't be honest for me if I were to do it.
It's something I've never done.
Then the other option is you can try and Talk about the discourse surrounding the election.
The problem is that all the things about the discourse, political discourse in the United States that are dishonest or kind of unhinged or hysterical become infinitely worse every day as the election approaches.
Again, for totally understandable reasons.
Since people are stressed about the outcome, they're doing everything possible as the election approaches to try and say or do anything in order to get their candidate elected.
That's why we have flying accusations about the Trump campaign now being Hitler and all this deranged commentary coming from the U.S. media that gets worse and worse as we approach the election.
So even covering the discourse tends to be difficult unless you can really dig in and And then the other thing that you could do that's, I think, quite easy to do, that a lot of programs do with great success, again, is just sort of analyze the horse race aspects of the campaign to just sort of say, here's the latest poll.
Look at this new poll.
It shows Trump ahead by two in Michigan.
Wow, look at this new poll.
It shows Kamala ahead by three in Wisconsin.
Wow.
And then just every night, you kind of promote a new poll.
You can cherry pick them based on which ones you think your audience wants to hear.
And for so many reasons, I don't think that's a fruitful way to spend time, including the fact that polls have been unbelievably unreliable, especially with the emergence of Donald Trump and his movement.
Pollsters just have no clue yet How to understand who Trump voters are, how to reach them, how to analyze them.
In 2016, the New York Times had it as something like 92% certain, 94% certain that Hillary Clinton was going to win.
Every poll showed Hillary Clinton way, way in front.
I didn't know a single person, basically, who thought Trump was going to win, and they were basing that on the assumption that the polls they were looking at were reliable.
And, of course, Trump won that election and won it by a good margin.
The polls were way, way off, at least at a state-by-state level.
And then heading into 2020, the same thing happened.
The polls showed Joe Biden even further in front of Donald Trump than it showed Hillary Clinton in front of Trump in 2016.
And although Biden was certified as the winner of that election, it was extremely close.
An election could easily have slung to Trump with the change of 30 or 40,000 votes on a couple of swing states.
So the polls again created this wildly misleading picture.
And then it actually happened in 2022 in the opposite direction when Trump wasn't on the ballot.
And a lot of polling companies and therefore a lot of media outlets were insisting that there was going to be this massive red wave that would flood both the Senate and the House with all sorts of new Republicans or remove Democratic incumbents.
And although the Republicans did manage to take over the House, it did so by a tiny margin compared to how midterm elections have usually functioned for the opposing party in office that usually does very well in midterm.
The Republicans didn't have a very successful 2022 midterm.
And so again, the polls were off, although this time Trump wasn't on the ballot.
So it doesn't mean that they've compensated too much for their failures in 2016 and 2020 to detect Trump's support.
It just means that with Trump not on the ballot, they also couldn't figure things out.
So now Trump's on the ballot again, and I think there's a conventional wisdom that I think I'm prey to as well that we've just seen in the last two times when Trump was on the ballot running for president, the polls showed Trump with a huge disadvantage.
Against both of his opponents in 2016 and 2020, and both times polls severely underestimated the level of support of Donald Trump.
So when you see polls this time that are showing basically Trump tied with Kamala Harris, not just in individual states, but nationally, which thinking about the popular vote That both Biden and Hillary won by a lot.
If Trump is even tied with the popular vote or just a point or two behind, the assumption, of course, instinctively is that, well, it seems like the polls must be undercounting Trump support again because they still haven't figured out how to detect Trump supporters.
But who knows?
Maybe they have now overcompensated knowing that they undercounted Trump voters in the last two elections and now are showing more Trump support than really exists, are showing a closer election than really will happen.
So even if I were to try and analyze polls, They're not very predictive.
They've proven not to be very predictive.
It's kind of just a way of satiating yourself because you want to know the results and so they help you think that you're understanding the results.
And so there's not much to say about the election other than when we find things that we think are revealing about broader political trends, like tonight.
I don't think the Joe Biden comment was particularly significant.
I think the reaction to it by the media was.
I think Joe Biden's cognitive disability is significant, so we use it to extract that meaning of it.
But to sit there and cover the election as the election, I think, is very difficult.
Nonetheless, I know that's what people want to hear about, so sometimes we do cover it, but only when we think we have something meaningful to say.
If you were to put a gun to my head and force me to make a prediction, I suppose I would say I think Trump is going to win just because in 2016 and 2020, they wildly undercounted his support, where if they do that even to a small extent this time, given what the polls show, it means that he's likely to win.
There's been a lot of disturbing trends of people who think the United States is wildly on the wrong track, which usually means that's bad for the incumbent.
There's a lot of traditional Democratic voters, Latinos and black people.
And other non-white voters who have clearly migrated away from the Democrats to the Republican Party.
There's more enthusiasm for Donald Trump as a candidate than there is for Kamala Harris.
And so I don't know anything more than anybody else, but that's what I would say.
Now, I just want to end with this, because I think this, in so many ways, It illustrates why Trump as a political phenomenon is so singular and unique in American politics.
Why elites in particular have so much difficulty understanding his appeal.
Why they really do believe that anyone who votes for him is a racist or a fascist or stupid.
And you keep hearing them say things that reflect that.
When in reality Trump's appeal is so obvious.
The most obvious being that he spews contempt at And vandalizes and even defecates on the most cherished and sacred pieties of American political institutions and the ruling class status quo, which is what people hate more than anything.
And we've seen this work in many other countries where all you have to do is say that you're here to destroy the Institutional authority that people have come to hate throughout the democratic world and any candidate who does that will successfully attract people to them.
I think that's the reason why Obama won in 2008 despite a lot of reasons why he probably shouldn't have.
All the barriers he faced because he was able to convince people even though it was a fraud.
I'm not from Washington.
I've barely been here.
Look at me.
I'm not part of the political class.
I'm here to use people power behind me to change the way Washington works and the people for whom it works.
And that was convincing.
People craved that.
And he was able to channel that.
Now, of course, he got in.
He was nothing but an agent of status quo perpetuation.
But I think that was his appeal, and that's obviously Trump's appeal, too.
Whenever Trump does things that the press gets horrified about or that Democrats and liberals and elites...
Are enraged by, it reinforces this idea that Trump is on the side of the people, and that's why institutional authorities that they despise, including the media, especially the media, hate so much.
So I just want to give you a couple examples just from the last 24 hours of how this works.
So, as we covered, the big media narrative of the day is that Joe Biden called Trump supporters, quote, garbage.
And in response, Donald Trump has been walking around all day wearing the uniform of a garbage collector and they got a garbage truck that he's riding around in that says Trump 2024 on the side.
And here he was asked questions from the media.
So he's elevated above the media.
They have to look up at this truck.
While he's wearing the uniform of a garbage collector, just like he wore the uniform of a McDonald's worker last week or the week before.
And this is the exchange that they had.
I love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me.
I don't know.
I don't know anything about a comedian.
I just I love Puerto Rico.
Nobody's done more for Puerto Rico than me.
I took care of them when they had the big hurricanes and nobody nobody gets along better with Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican people than me.
They love me and I love them.
I'm sorry, but you cannot deny that that's funny.
That it's just so indifferent to the demands and expectations made of him by liberal elites.
He's like, yeah, there was some comedian.
I have no idea who it is.
I don't even know what he said.
But Puerto Rico, I love Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico loves me.
Nobody's ever done more for Puerto Rico than I have.
And for so long, it was taboo in media circles and in those circles to admit that Trump is naturally hilarious.
He's naturally funny.
He's a showman.
Could you imagine Kamala Harris doing something like this?
Could you imagine her putting on a McDonald's uniform?
Could you imagine her?
She won't even speak off the cuff.
They don't let her speak unscripted except in the friendliest of environments.
And so often there she embarrasses herself because she's so, and we've seen this as vice president too, the reason why she embarrassed herself on so many occasions is because she was petrified of speaking in an unscripted way because she has no confidence in her knowledge or her grasp of the situation.
And when you're that insecure, you get awkward.
I'm sure you've all had that experience where you're insecure, you feel insecure in a social situation.
You lose your personality.
You lose your ability to be funny.
You lose your ability to just be smooth and natural with people.
It comes from this insecurity that she reeks of.
Yeah, she can give a speech by now and read off a teleprompter and seem effective with it.
In very controlled settings, like the debate with Trump, she did well.
But when she has to just act like a normal human being, To me, she always looks like somebody who just walked out of an Aetna board meeting.
Like, she looks like she's on the board of directors of an insurance company.
Maybe it's general counsel.
And she always looks like she just comes out of the corporate world.
Everything about her is emanating of that.
And I remember one time when I lived in New York City in the early 1990s when, I think I've told this story before, but Trump was Very famous, very, very well known.
This is before he was a very successful star of a primetime show on NBC, The Apprentice.
But he was known as this kind of gallivanting billionaire, this very charismatic figure.
The tabloids loved him, celebrities loved him.
And I remember he went to visit a building in New Jersey that he was building some gigantic structure and instead of going there and speaking with the financiers or the bankers, he ended up just hanging out the entire time with the construction workers.
And then afterward he said to the media, "Anyone can be famous among the elites.
Real fame is when working class people, the workers know who you are and scream your name.
That's what he cares about.
He's always cared about the most.
He always has had this resentment, the kind that Richard Nixon had, even though he grew up wealthy.
He grew up in an outer borough in Queens.
And there's a lot of resentment of Manhattan elites.
I think that's why Trump wanted to go and build these gigantic buildings in Manhattan that towered over everybody else and live at the top of Trump Tower, because it was a way of sort of taking this vengeance and this resentment against elites that just comes natural to him.
His contempt for these people is real, and you cannot replicate that.
Here is Trump getting off of his plane today, and he's again wearing his sanitary worker uniform.
They actually have labeled us, and that's what the scary part is, but yet it seems to be kind of normal that we would hear this kind of rhetoric and degrading talk coming from the president and the administration.
Well, Grant, do you remember that conversation?
I think it was between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, where they were talking about Walmart, about how it smells like Trump supporters.
Tara's exactly right, Grant.
They have been talking about Trump supporters like this for a very long time.
Amanda, think about this.
We're watching our stream where President Trump's Trump Force One has landed.
You've got a gentleman walking down.
I mean, he gets off the plane, walking in a "garbage man" uniform to remind people what Biden said.
And then he walks past the media and then gets into the truck that says, Trump 2024, make America great on the side.
And then he says to the media, now I'll take your questions.
And they all have to kind of come and gather around him, beneath him, and look up to him and ask questions.
Then he says things like, I love Puerto Rico, Puerto Ricans love, Puerto Rico loves me.
This is, I think, something that is political power of the kind that you can't really quantify, you can't really understand that people in the media have just refused to acknowledge.
They can't even acknowledge that he has political skill.
They can't acknowledge that he appeals to people for reasons other than the fact that they're racist and misogynist and Islamophobic and xenophobic, all the things that Hillary Clinton accused them of being, all the things Obama accused them of being, all the things that liberal media accused them of being every day.
And I also think that's why this obsession with trying to call him Hitler and being a fascist when the country has seen him for five decades including four years in the White House now to just try and convince them that this person they've known all along and have seen operate all along in so many different contexts is actually a new Hitler I think it's just the kind of media narrative that pleases themselves.
They're captive to their audience.
They are constantly validating and feeding one another in their views.
And it's made them almost blind to the realities of Trump and to his support.
Now, again, I don't have any idea who's going to win.
The Democrats have a huge financial advantage.
Kamala raised over a billion dollars in the last three months alone.
There is a lot of hostility and fear that has been ginned up against Trump.
I think the biggest political gift to the Democrats ever was the overturning of Roe vs.
Wade in the Dobbs decision that clearly galvanized a huge number of Democratic voters or people who weren't necessarily attached to the Democratic Party to come out and vote solely on an issue.
So I genuinely don't know who's going to win.
But what I do know is that the media is so blind with hatred and rage and fear of Donald Trump, which I think is very genuine, That it has completely blinded them to the realities, not just Donald Trump, but especially to the people who support him and the reasons why they do so.
