After two weeks of humiliating screw-ups, Joe, Biden tries, a reset by flying to Ukraine China. Threatens intervention in Ukraine, war and Roald. Dahl's children's books are now being Rewritten for woke purposes. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the bench Pharaoh show. Well, Joe Biden has had a rough couple of weeks. Last, couple of weeks have seen a giant train derailment in each Palestine, Ohio, that resulted in a giant. Mushroom cloud of apparently toxic gases being released into the air and
And some of the waters and all the rest of us and FEMA has been denying help over there. Suggesting it is outside their remit, under Joe Biden's auspices. Joe Biden has not visited East Palestine, Ohio, Joe, Biden allowed, a Chinese spy balloon to fly across the entirety of the continental United States for a full week and then we shot it down. Off the Waters of it South Carolina and then he started randomly authorizing, the Air Force to shoot down. Mylar Valentine's Day balloons from Party City with four hundred thousand dollar Sidewinder missiles in an apparent attempt select.
To the rest of the world. After again, having allowed a giant 3 bus-sized, Chinese spy, balloon to fly across the entire continental. United States, has been a rough couple of weeks for President Biden and that followed what he thought was going to be a triumphal moment at the State of the Union Address in, which he took on the Republicans, the problem for Joe Biden, of course, is that Joe Biden's approval rating has been absolutely stagnant for the past couple of years. And the thing that people forget about Joe, Biden's approval, rating, is that what made it go down in the first place was his weakness in Afghanistan. If you look at the at the history of Joe Biden,
Eden's job approval rating. His job approval rating was at about 50% 51% for a long period of time to begin his presidency. And then it really dipped in wet - right around the time that he decided that he was going to ignominiously pull out of Afghanistan with no plan. Whatsoever hand, the country over to 8th Century Islamic barbarians and and then allow a bunch of American soldiers. Get killed in a bunch of Afghan translators. Get stuck behind bunch of Americans, get stuck behind. So foreign policy, weakness does have dramatic Rama
Stations for Joe Biden and he must know this. So right now, Joe Biden's approval rating is stuck in the 43 44 percent range, going to Real Clear Politics. Now that has been a slight increase from its real. Absolute low of about 37 percent which was back in July of 2022. But he's been kind of trending about even since September. And so he has to do something to reset. Because now you're starting to look at his re-election campaign. His re-election campaign is going to be launched any day. Now, we are growing closer and it's near the end of February. We're going to start seeing his
A la campagne pump into full gear. Starting March, April May, and so he has to do something to reset the way he decided that he was going to reset is by heading over to Ukraine over the weekend. It was a secret Ukraine trip and it was promoted by all the usual media sources as a groundbreaking unbelievably Brave thing for the president of the United States. Do never mind the fact that we've had a multiplicity of American senators and congresspeople have already gone over to Ukraine. Never mind. The fact that Boris Johnson went over to Ukraine when he was prime minister of the UK, never mind the fact that you've had pretty much everywhere.
L except for Joe Biden. Go over to Ukraine over the course of the past year since the War Began in Ukraine, Joe, Biden. Finally went over Ukraine in the media reacted with their usual combination of sycophantic drooling and massaging his unmentionables. It was you know exactly what you're buying a bargain for now is going to have any real impact on Joe Biden's presidency. My guess is absolutely not because nothing actually changed except it's except for Joe Biden posturing. So how did this thing come about? Apparently it was a trip months in the
works according to Politico, but President Joe Biden a small Cadre of administration officials made the decision Final in a meeting on Friday setting into motion a complex plan with substantial risks, for Biden. Safety political standing in international relations. While there was no risk to his political standing. Because again, what's going to happen, people get mad at them for going to cry international relations. Some more significant risk for international relations, Is will discuss in just a minute because international relations is very delicate especially in a hot war zone. But the real question is not the, the administration trying to try out this lie that this
Months in the making, it was already pre planner and political blows it out of the water. Friday is when he decided he's going to pray. Why Friday, why? So, they're suggesting, it's because of the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. And granted it is the one-year anniversary this week of Vladimir Putin's Russia, invading. Ukraine. With that said, that would that date would have been planned months in advance? What didn't know not. So what happened on Friday? Well, the answer is bad, political news cycle. A bad political news cycle is what drove Joe Biden to go to Ukraine's, who could completely reset the
Little table, while not visiting, say the American southern border or not visiting East, Palestine Ohio. Those are places where he's failed. Ukraine is a place where US policy has manifestly succeeded. Now, I know there, a lot of folks on the right who are not big fans of the Ukraine war, they think that the United States should not be involved in Ukraine. At all to me. This seems like a bargain. The truth is that just on a monitor and level Ukraine war has been in American foreign policy. Terms a Parkin, we spend literally over the course of decades trillions and trillions of trillions of dollars on National Defense.
And that money is is sunk into Weaponry that we don't end up using. If we are successful in deterring, everybody else from doing this sort of stuff, we have sent 20 billion dollars to have a lot of money over to Ukraine and we have crippled the Russian military. The Russian military is aggressive aggressive on its borders for two decades. Nobody's known how to handle Vladimir. Putin has been true since the Bush Administration. Really, since the end of the Clinton Administration, there's been no idea really how to handle Russia and Vladimir Putin. Made a mistake. He stepped into a hornet's nest.
Into Ukraine thinking that he was gonna be able to take kyiv and the original going wisdom. You'll recall is that he was going to be able to take Ukraine. No problem, just ingested. And as it turns out, it is not just a question of pure number numerical superiority when it comes to war anymore. Now it is a measure of technical sophistication. NATO armaments are way, way, way more sophisticated than whatever Russia has Russia's using like WWII ordinance, in some cases. Meanwhile, Ukraine is armed with all of the systems that NATO can provided sophisticated microchip systems that Russia. Just does not.
Have the availability of, and that means that in technical terms, Ukraine is far superior to the Russian military, which has been shown by the Apparently, 150,000 dead. Russian soldiers, over the course of the last year. So the Ukraine war has effectively single-handedly taken Russia's fighting forces Global threat off the table. We'll talk about what that means for America and what that means for American foreign policy in a second, I'll get you Joe Biden's actual trip. But one thing that's clear, is that the Administration has not been clear about what.
Are those goals are in Ukraine? That actually is a serious problem. You need Clarity in your life and you need Clarity when it comes to your phone calls.

So the goal of American foreign policy in Ukraine was really several fold and one is crippled the Russian military. So I couldn't perform more aggressive attacks on its borders because they have pushed into place, like Kazakhstan, threatening oil supply, they have pushed into Ukraine. Before obviously, they carted off Crimea and do Nots and lands. They have that they've pushed before into Georgia. So let her
It has been a very aggressive leader in terms of foreign policy and in terms of utilization the military crippling, the Russian military. So that was no longer. An issue is actually a big win for the United States on the cheap in the sense that we've spent not a single American Life on this. So, just in terms of why we are there that that is one good reason containing. Russia, at that actually has been the purpose of NATO since its Inception, and that has been the purpose of NATO, post the fall of the Soviet Union, so that is purpose. Number one, purpose. Number two is demonstrating to the rest of the world. You can't just randomly cross.
Country's borders and try to take their capitals. It was to serve as a warning to China. If Russia had been able just ingest Ukraine. The next move is trying to goes directly after Taiwan. And so if surrendering and Afghanistan to again a bunch of eighth Century, barbarians was the impetus for Vladimir Putin, looking at the United States and saying this is a week horse and I'm going to go after it well. Now, Vladimir Putin has learned that when NATO is activated against him even a country like Ukraine can hold off. Russia. So trying to maybe looking at that and say, okay maybe it's not worth the
Then for us to try to go after Taiwan that was purpose. Number two, and purpose. Number three is to demonstrate that the post-cold war order is still existent in awe. This is kind of important. It's also controversial. So, one of the things that happen if you look at the history of the United States and in our sort of international relations and Global involvement, what you see is that the United States in the post-world war, two era, basically guaranteed Global growth every place that was not directly controlled or indirectly controlled by the Soviet Union for that entire order. And then in the aftermath of the fall of
Yogi Union expanded our role in in creating Global Order to, essentially, the entire Earth. That does not mean that we are imperialist. We were not. We allowed other countries to run their countries very much as they wanted to in the post-cold War era with the Proviso that they had to be open to trade. And also we were going to help ensure the freedom of trade on the high seas which is one of the reasons why you see these very diffuse Supply chains at the reason that when you get an iPhone is now produced in about a dozen different places and not produced in one place and thus it is
Much much cheaper and much more cost-effective, and you have better technology every year. The reason for that is because America guarantees the safety of the high seas. America has the world's most powerful deep water Navy by a factor of about 10 to 1 like to the rest of the world. And who won the United States is an unbelievably powerful economy. And that is matter is Peter's ayhan the Geo political expert from howrah talks about, we have this Incredible strength in terms of our domestic markets and in terms of our domestic geography that we have Canada to our North, we have Mexico or South. We have
Oceans for East and West, which means that we are saved from pretty much everything. And that means that we have the capacity to actually ensure if we want to a global trade system, that allows for diffuse Supply chains, which does, in fact, benefit America because America is still the world's safest bet in terms of finances, which is why we have not gotten crushed economically over the course, the last couple of years, the way a lot of other countries have. Also the United States is not in a state of full scale, Democrat a demographic collapse. The same way that Europe is right now. The same way that much of Asia is China is in as in a state
A full-scale demographic, collapse the United States, right now. If you had to put money on any country on Earth to retain its power, just geopolitical speaking, United States, would be the bet but that only applies so long as the United States is able to maintain this tenuous World Order. Because if the world turns into a bunch of regional blocks, the United States, may still be the most powerful player among those Regional blocks, but our lifestyles going to change an awful lot. Just to give you an example during covid. Basically, all the supply chains broke down
The diffuse network of supply lines broke down the manufacturing lines, broke down free trade, broke down, and the result was you couldn't get basic stuff that you needed on a daily basis and all the things you become used to advancements in technology, being able to get things cheaply and easily to your front door, things that made your life easier and better battle broke down. If the world system breaks down and turns into a bunch of regional bloc's, essentially and United States Retreats from the world, you're going to see a lot more of that, that is what the future is actually, going to look a lot more.
Like and not like the steady progress in terms of technology and in terms of availability that you've seen over the course, the last couple of decades. When people talk about the evils of globalization there are costs to literally every policy. There is no policy that has ever been implemented. On planet Earth is not have cost and benefits but the cost to D globalization to the breakup of any sort of global trade system. Not talking here about the World Trade Organization or the international monetary fund's about the United States guaranteeing, the freedom of the high seat, United States, making sure that you can get the stuff that you
United States, making sure for example, the China can't shut down the South China Sea or making sure that the Iranians can't shut down the streets of Tehran or anything like that. When you have United States, guaranteeing all that, it makes your life better. We don't see that in foreign policy terms because again, it's very indirect. These are costs that are sort of silently undergone by the United States in order to preserve World Order in repelling, Russia from Ukraine, we have essentially reinforce that we are not retreating from the world. We are not making room for Russia to
At its own sphere of influence again, are trying to create its own sphere of influence again. So all of these things are are great and wonderful and good things I think overall
And all the talk about how we're being in. Meshed, in an endless war of that, just in terms of cost, that is not true. Now, does that mean that we should not have an eye on where the money goes? Of course, we have nine the money where the money goes missing point that pretty much every Republican politician is making right now. You can't just give a bag of cash should ukrainians and hope that it gets to the right place. We should of course keep an eye on where the money goes but the notion that we would be better off. For example, if Russia, just ingested, Ukraine is wrong. Now, with all of that said, Joe Biden has achieved virtually all of these goals and the question.
Is what is he doing? The question is, why is he upping the ante? What is the goal of upping? The ante at this point and why is he visiting? Is he doing it for domestic political constituencies or is he doing it for the greater? Good of the world? I think the answer is going to be the former and not the latter largely. Because I don't think that you can trust the people in power, which by the way, is one reason why if you have a business and you paid too much money, the federal government over the course of the last several years, you probably should try to get that back.

Joe Biden flies over Ukraine, right as I said, they're real goals that we have in Ukraine and people who are saying we don't understand why we're even over there. It's all the reasons about containing Russia tutoring the breaking of other people's borders and ensuring a world order that actually benefits the American manufacturer because a lot of manufacturing facilities from a broader now being located in the United States to shorten the supply chains.
Benefits American jobs American economics American power all those are good reasons that does not answer the question as to why Joe Biden flew over to Ukraine right now. The answer is that he flew over to Ukraine right now again for domestic political purposes.
And that's the only reason to do it really because we're doing all of these things and we're doing them quite quietly see the general rule of American foreign policy is that you're supposed to speak softly and carry a big stick speaking softly generally means you provide the support that is necessary and especially in this particular dicey situation where everybody knows what the off ramp is going to be which is going to be Russia retaining some of the territory in the hands can ask in Crimea. Everyone knows this is going to be the end goal. The question is how do you get to that end goal with the minimum loss of life at this at this point?
Again, because America has already achieved all of the goals previously. Stated America has already crippled the Russian military to an unprecedented. A fact, the United States has already reinforce the notion and we are not going to sit idly by when Sovereign Nations violate the borders of other, Sovereign Nations. And the United States has suggested that we're not retreating from the world. In the way that many people thought we were going to retreat from the World. By the way, even under Trump didn't Retreat, from the world, this great lie. That America went isolationist under Trump is it is a Lie. The United States was very active in foreign policy under the Trump Administration. It was just smart.
Art and that we didn't get ourselves embroiled in actual shooting, wars with other people first president, in my lifetime, not to do, that was President Trump.
Okay. But the question of what exactly is happening here, it's pretty obvious and obviously what the White House is saying. So White House, comms director kick Bedingfield told reporters quote, it was risky and should leave no doubt in anyone's mind. Joe. Biden is a leader who takes commitment seriously, but this was a risk. He wanted to take no, that's a lie. Hey Joe, Biden does not take commitment seriously. He literally sold out our Afghan allies over the course of 20 years and then just handed them over to the world's worst human beings. And meanwhile, his charged a fair over in Qatar, is tweeting out about black girl magic to the
In women. I'm not kidding. It's an actual thing that she did last week because it's black history month. So she's worried about Afghan women getting on board with the black girl magic. Meanwhile, they are being oppressed and shoved into basements and raped. So good times over there as far as the risky notion. Again, this is an attempt to prop up Joe Biden as a non weakling in the aftermath of the Chinese balloon Fiasco and it was a fiasco.
So, this was the entire pitch. Joe Joe Biden, go sticky. And he says, America stands with you in the world, stands with you. And there's another element here, which is that Joe Biden is now attempting, believe it or not to polarize American Support around Ukraine. So there are a lot of members of the right, who are becoming very uneasy with the length that this war is going on because the longer it goes on, they fear that the greater a shot that Vladimir Putin, used a nuclear weapon or something unexpected happens. And again, those are, those are thoroughly decent concerns in many Arenas it. But what Joe Biden is is looking at is he's looking at the polls.
And what the polls show right now is that the Ukraine war is becoming more and more partisan according to an AP and 0rc Center for public affairs. Research poll, 48% of Americans, say they favor the United States providing weapons to Ukraine. 29% supposed 22%. They say that they are neither in favor or oppose so it's not like super yo robust support for the Ukraine war. 37% of Americans are in favor of sending government funds directly to Ukraine 37 percent in favor 38%.
Aunt, opposed
And this does, again split along partisan lines, among Republicans, 76 percent of Americans. Say they have hardly any confidence in Joe Biden's, handling of the situation among Democrats only 40%, by the way. Save a great deal of confidence in Biden, 50 percent. Say they have some confidence.
So there is in fact, a partisan Gap and Biden is attempting to essentially drive a wedge here. That is why he is doing this, cause you could have just continued to operate on the bipartisan consensus of sending enough money to Ukraine, to allow them to repeal the Russians. And instead, he's deciding to blow this thing up on the global stage. Here was Joe Biden over yesterday.
One year later Keith stands,
And Ukraine stands, democracy stands, the American stands with you and the world stands.
Which now, again, if you look at the partisan breakdown 40 percent of Democrats, say the United States, have a major role in Ukraine. Only 17% of Americans. Say the United States have a major role in Ukraine. Now, again that's undefined only anyone Democrat Republican wants to put American boots on the ground in Ukraine. That's not something anybody wants.
But it is true that Joe Biden is attempting to exploit this by essentially ratcheting up tensions around Ukraine I assume for domestic political purposes so Joe Biden to support will come for as long as it takes. Now again that's why it's not going to come for as long as it takes. There will be an end date here. There's an end date everywhere here was Joe Biden
together. We've committed nearly 700 tanks.
And thousands of armored vehicles.
1000 artillery systems, all defend you to your defend Ukraine and that doesn't count the other. Half a billion dollars were going to be announcing with you today and tomorrow all walks to all life. It's astounding.
Astounding, remind us that freedom is priceless.
It's worth fighting for for as long as it takes and that's how long were going to be with you mr. President for as long as it takes
okay, I'm sorry, but hearing the man who pulled out of Afghanistan and say we're going to be there as long as it takes, it's obviously not true. So then the question becomes, why? Exactly? I keep coming back to this, why is he doing the trip right now? Why are we supporting Ukraine? We should support Ukraine to repeal Russia. And then we should look for an off-ramp. I think everybody generally is on board with that particular sense, but there's
People don't want to support Ukraine at all. I frankly disagreed, that argument fine but that does not answer the question as to why Biden is ratcheting. Things up right now, when theoretically, we should be looking to pursue some sort of end to this thing. Vladimir zalenski he said that Joe Biden's visit is a strong signal so he's going to take advantage of. I mean his defense secretary literally said over the weekend. I think what he want to see Ukrainian tanks in Red Square in Moscow, which I don't know about ratcheting up tensions. That seems like not a great comment.
Morning to everybody today with horse Preston, vital that is so important signal for us and all, we are proud of it. Thank you very much for coming. Mr. President than a huge moment of supporting or the Ukraine. And what can I say? I really appreciate the present by the American society being from the very beginning of this tragedy.
and from the very beginning of,
This full-scale war from the first place team together with
us, okay? So in a second, when you get to the actual rationale for why Biden is doing this, because it's pretty obvious from the Optics of the situation. Why he's doing that? Well, Joe Biden. You don't look particularly Hale and healthy right now, but you should be more Hale and healthy by using a balance of nature. So I got to tell you, I'm very bad at eating vegetables, this is terrible me, I hate vegetables, I think they're terrible but I still have to get the nutrients that I should be getting from the vegetables and from the fruit, this is why I like balance.
Major balance of nature, fruits, and veggies are the best way to make sure that you are getting essential nutritional ingredients. Every single day. Their products are 100% whole food, balance of nature. Uses a cold vacuum process that preserves those natural phytonutrients, and whole fruits, and vegetables, and encapsulate them for easy consumption. In fact, balance of nature, actually sends a bunch of the product down to the studio for my team to try its kosher. So, I've been able to use it, I'm feeling better already, go to balance of nature.com. Use promo code Shapiro for thirty, five percent off your first order as a preferred customer, plus a free fiber and spice, that's balance of nature.com. Promo code Shapiro for
35 percent off your first preferred order balance of Nature.com. And if you're one of those people like me who can't struggle through three meals of salad every single day, it sounds awful. Maybe you should head on over to balance of Nature and get exactly what you need, nutrient wise without having to down entire heads of lettuce, go to balance of nature.com, use promo code Shapiro, 35 percent off your first order as a preferred customer and get that free fiber and spice as well balance of nature.com promo, code Shapiro. Okay, so, how do we know that this is largely Optics from Joe Biden? Well, we can tell
From the Optics. So Yesterday a clip came out of Joe Biden walking through kyiv with Vladimir zalenski and the air raid sirens, go off.
It's Curious. It's where they don't even break. Nobody even. Nobody, even for a second in the Press pool, at looks around like normally, when the air raid sirens do off, and I've been in countries when air raid, sirens, have gone off. I mean, like I was in Jerusalem last year, the air returns and actually go off in Jerusalem. But they, you were checking your phone. Consistently for, like, where are the rocket attacks? Falling? People tend to have a tendency. When a giant noise goes off, that says you should get to shelter. People tend to at least look in the air in this clip. Nobody looks in the air. There's a reason for that.
That is, will explain in just a moment. Here was Joe Biden with Latimer zalenski. Yesterday, walking through cave
Well, there's only a couple of problems that clip wanting a nobody looks in the air while the air raid sirens are going off. The second, is that a CNN reporter than went on the air? And he's like, oh yeah, by the way, we haven't heard an air raid siren and key for like five weeks. Literally, the only moment, I've heard an air raid siren. The last five weeks has been when Joe Biden walked outside with Vladimir zalenski, which sort of suggest what they really wanted. Was a photo. Op a big Brave, Joe Biden, dark aviator glasses, dark, Brandon walking around, keep with the air raid, sirens going off like is Winston Churchill in the rubble of London or something here.
A reporter from CNN, pointing out the Oddity of this I've been here for the past five days. I have not
heard any explosions. I have not heard any air Sirens until about half an hour ago, right? When President Biden was in, the Centre of Kiev, as Clarissa was just
mentioning
Weird weird. Almost as though, the air raid sirens were kind of stage almost as though as weird is it not? But here's the thing for all the talk about the risky, Joe. He's so risky man, that risks, he can Joe Biden, by the way, then that just not hold water for one second. Joe Biden is the same guy who bragged about how he was not actually the guy.
Who stood in favor of the bin Laden raid, how he was guy, who tried to tell Barack Obama not to do it Joe Biden. When it comes to foreign policy is as cowardly as any President we have ever had this notion that he's like I'm so brave I'm walking around Kiev with the air raid sirens going. Yeah, I'm stumbling around. You know, I know and the answer is no, how do we know the answer is no because the National Security advisor. Jake Sullivan said on National Television over the weekend that the administration called the Russians, and told them Joe Biden was coming because they didn't want the Russians, accidentally, shooting the president of the United States out of the air.
Or hitting him with a strained muscle. So yeah, there's that it
was planned and carried out in secret by the US Military and the Secret Service, the White House Press Corps unaware that this was happening, National Security advisor. Jake Sullivan wrapping up a call moments ago, he provided more details about the president's trip.
We did notify. The Russians that President Biden would be traveling to kyiv. We did so somehow hours before his departure for deconfliction purposes and
because of the sensitive nature of those
Communications, I won't get into how they
responded.
Oh, so it wasn't risky then because you told the Russians that you were doing it and the Russians don't actually want to get into a direct shooting war with the United States after shooting down a plane with the president of the United States on it, when they also want American jets, flying over Moscow. After they hit the president with a strained muscle or something. So, for all of the talk of risky, risky MC risky, no actually actually not so much again. This didn't stop the media from doing what they do and because you have to understand, this is an inside-outside game for the Democratic Administration, any Democratic Administration essentially has its
Guard who are the media, who will just gosh, endlessly about whatever a Democrat does no matter what. I don't want makes peace in the Middle East and then like, whatever, man, Joe Biden flies to Ukraine. After telling the Russians, he is coming stays there for a short period of time. And then leaves, like my God, it's like Winston Churchill. Oh he's like, he's like George Washington and Abe Lincoln and Winston, Churchill, and God wrapped into one one old crazy ball. What amazing stuff. So John Holliman he was at he's losing his mind over this ah bravery uh unbelievable.
Bravery
someone like Mike Deaver from the Reagan Administration who was, you know, the master Image Maker, the guy who put Ronald Reagan at Normandy, that it for wherever he is. And the great beyond was tipping his hat to, to the the Image Makers who had those shots of Joe Biden with solinsky in kyiv, Air Raid, Sirens blaring. Those are the stuff of an image makers and a part of the dream of politics, right? Biden to be able to Dutchess do this thing. But look the way he did.
Especially when so many people say he's too old. He's too weak. He's too frail. He's passed it the Swagger of this trip, not just the, the execution of the secrecy, but the Swagger of it on display. On the streets of kyiv Swag, is enormous and enormous Boon to him
politically
He's not going to date you, dude. It's not a thing. Meanwhile, he had reporters for CNN doing the same thing. I was so sick. It was like Churchill was like, gee, when JFK went to Berlin in 1961, except for not at all like that, but sure,
president's visit Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years. But those were u.s. Wars. This is a Ukrainian war. No, US military presence. On the ground. How significant it's worth. I mean, mentioning Churchill called solinsky has been called The Churchill of Our Generation and Biden.
I'm going there today. I think it's going to be a moment for the history books. It's like when John F Kennedy went to Berlin on 1961 and gave a speech at the height of the Cold War. Ukraine is the New Berlin. It's the rally point for NATO, and they the Western allies in the I think Biden of did something really
heroic and so heroic. So heroic, did he actually went to a place that he'd warn everybody that he was going about a year after everybody else. Went just it's super heroic. Not not
With a domestic political constituency in mind at all, just just heroism. Meanwhile, Claire mccaskill, and Chris Wallace has now moved on over from Fox News to CNN. They decided that it was very important to contrast. This was obviously Trump. I mean Trump was bad, guys. Remember, Trump was bad guy, even though there's no Ukraine war while Trump, as President, Trump's the problem. Again, the way that Trump wants their strange little brains, like a, like a demented Goblin. It's so weird. Anyway, here they are
when that Air Force, One Flew Over the border into Ukraine.
Ukraine. Everybody knows. It was just that airplane from the United States in that airspace and that took courage. And that courage is a very important component of a reelect for Joe Biden, because strength
matters.
Strength matters, strength, come on, seriously, come on. But again, the goal here was domestic political constituencies. I'm going to say it over and over because it happens to be the case Joe Biden right now is running really weak. There are a bunch of brand new polls out showing Rhonda Sanchez vs. Joe Biden among Independents in Out Among Republicans and Democrats want independence. According Quinnipiac DeSantis versus Biden, direct head-to-head among Independents. The Stance is up nine PPP at Democratic polling. Firm Stance, is up for Yahoo yougov. DeSantis up 21.
You 1230 Ashkelon, insights and 7/16 signal, which is Republican firm DeSantis up 12. So, yeah, Joe Biden's got to do something to recapitulate. His presidency here. He's got to do something to reset this thing. So you didn't reset button on his own presidency by going on over Ukraine. Now, the problem is that this actually has some pretty signal ramifications for actual foreign policy and right now providing the kind of support Ukraine needs in order to repel Russia and push them back hard. I get it as I've discussed on the program before. Essentially what you have between Russia and Ukraine is a prisoner's dilemma in which both sides.
An interest in continuation of the war unless there's an actual on-the-ground change in the circumstances. Unless Russia has a serious chance of losing nothing changes. I must be praying as a serious chance of losing nothing changes. So ratcheting up the pressure, I get it traveling over there to do this, very loudly. I don't see how that's going to allow Putin away' out. In fact, it's going to drive him to become louder because he needs some face-saving piece of credible withdrawal. It is allowed to him here.
Well, he's not taking it yesterday. Vladimir Putin made a big speech in which he declared that Moscow. Was suspending. Its participation in the new start treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control packed with United States sharply, upping the ante amid tensions with Russia over the fighting in Ukraine. You speaking in his State of the State address and he said that Russia should stand ready to resume its nuclear weapons, test of the United States, it does so he accused the US and its NATO allies will open lid. It openly declaring the goal of Russia's defeat in Ukraine. He said they want to inflict the Strategic defeat on us and try to get to our nuclear facilities the same time in this
Staff to share today. That Russia is suspending. Its participation in the treaty on strategic offensive arms. Now, does that actually make much of a difference? It does not. It is a symbolic move, but I'll tell you what is significantly. Less of a symbolic move is a move by. China is China is now apparently openly considering the possibility of giving lethal Aid to Moscow getting in directly involved in the war by funding Moscow. The same way that the United States and NATO have been funding Ukraine.
No, this is this is not a great situation. It suggests that some of the mid-level foreign policy staffers in the, by diminisher. Not very good at their jobs.

That's Jeremy's razors.com today. So what are the actual impact of what Joe Biden has been doing in Ukraine? Well, first of all, when Joe Biden goes to Ukraine, he says things like we must protect democracy. We must protect Liberty. You'll notice that virtually every explanation of why the United States ought to be funny Ukraine that I
I've given is utterly disconnected from this particular narrative. The reason being there, a lot of places around the world where we actually do not want democracy to rule as just a fact of the matter. You know, it's uncomfortable for people to think about this. But if democracy were to rule in Saudi Arabia, Isis would probably be in charge, if democracy were to rule in Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood would be in charge. And a lots of places around the world are actually what you don't want is democracy and what were you actually want, is an American Ally in place to develop toward the protection of Rights. And one of the things
Americans traditionally, understood is that democracy is a good. It is not the only good. What is good for Americans is the long scale development of property rights around the world, the long scale, development of freedoms around the world. And then once that has been inculcated in a population population, accepts all those things then they can vote. Obviously, that's great Odin's great. But only if people understand what they are, able to vote on what they're not able to vote on in the first place. Because there are certain rights that are sacrificing certain things that are sacrosanct. If you don't have that what you end up with is Journey of
The of the people, which is something that our founding fathers greatly opposed to the reason that I say that is because one of the critiques and it is a correct critique of Joe Biden. Ukraine has come from authoritarian? Countries are saying, well, you seem like you're okay with authoritarianism among your allies and you're using Ukraine's, Freedom democracy. You're using that as sort of a prop to attack Russia, that's not totally wrong. We actually do have interest now. Those interests align with a long-term goal of democracy promotion or Freedom promotion abroad,
Betrayed abroad and capitalism abroad, right? All those things hold true. That the means for the now may not match the ends for later. However, when Joe Biden does this sort of his highfalutin rhetoric. The goal, of course, is not to get more people on board. The goal is domestic political constituencies. The goal is maybe some of his allies in Europe but it is not too. In fact, deescalate in places like China. So China apparently is now considering lethal Aid to Moscow because what China is looking at is okay fine. If the United States is really going to keep upping the ante in Ukraine to the point.
Point where our Ally is not just crippled and its ability to move abroad. Which by the way, is not actually harm, run harm trying all that much right? If Russia's military is no longer able to for example defend, its eastern border and that's actually not bad for trying. Remember China and Russia share a border and historically speaking that border has been quite contentious. And so, theoretically trying to could just take advantage of that already trying to has taken advantage of Russia's weakness in order to turn Russia into basically an oil proxy state for itself. But if Russia were to be so internally weekend that it might take a chess piece off the board.
The for the Chinese, that's a real problem for the Chinese. So now they are talking openly about considering lethal Aid to Moscow. This is something. The Secretary of State Anthony blinken was saying yesterday.
There is a open-source reporting. That Chinese companies are providing surveillance equipment to that mercenary group, the Wagner group fighting in Ukraine. Does the US consider this to be providing Military Support to Russia? The very first conversations the President Biden, president? She had about Russia's war of aggression against
Ukraine. Just a couple of weeks into the War President Biden shared with, with President XI, our deep concern about the possibility. China would provide lethal support to to Russia to derusha in this
effort.
Okay. So that actually is a problem, right? We don't actually want China getting indirectly involved. You want to deter them from from doing exactly that vice president, Kamala Harris, the greatest and wisest most Immortal of all beings. She says that she's very troubled at Beijing has deepened its relationship with Moscow which is funny because she was informed about 30 seconds before. She went on stage as per our usual arrangement.
We are also troubled that Beijing
Has deepened its relationship with Moscow since the War Began.
Looking ahead, any steps by China to provide lethal support to Russia would only reward aggression?
Continue the killing and further undermine a rules-based
order.
Okay. Bye rules-based order. See that there's one of the big problems whenever we say a rules-based international order, we should recognize foreign policy is not a place of rules. Foreign policy is a place of wolves. Foreign policy is a wild and chaotic place and so when trying to looks at us in the like you guys are funny Ukraine, why can't we find Russia? You say, we violate the rules-based order, you guys are actively involving ourselves in Ukraine. We get to do what we want on the other side, that's not wrong and that is not on any. I mean, it's, it may be morally wrong because we don't like Chinese regime. We don't like Russia's routine but it is not wrong on a logical level to see.
Adjust that if you have outside funding for one side outside funding for the other side is not verboten because clearly it is not. The real question is going to be how we get to the aims that we wish to get to, how do we achieve those goals? That's the thing that we really should be worried about right now. Andy escalation be the way to do this which is why visits like Joe Biden's. I'm not sure that they are purple like they're not useful particularly. It's the same thing as when Nancy Pelosi fluent. In Taiwan when Nancy listen, I'm a big supporter of the America of the American Navy. Protecting Taiwan, from Chinese Invasion, I think Taiwan being invaded by the Chinese would be a
For the world for a wide variety of reasons that we discussed before on the program. However,
Escalatory moves for no apparent reason. I just don't understand Nancy Pelosi flying to Taiwan when it didn't actually change American foreign policy in any real way. What was the point of that same sort of thing as Joe, Biden flying into Ukraine? According to Wall Street Journal, some foreign policy strategists in Beijing, have raised the question of whether China should consider providing Military Support to Russia for defensive purposes. A scenario. They say, could significantly increase the cost of conflict that in turn. Could give China some leverage and proposing options to end the conflict but such a move would also start upgrading
The resentment against President XI jinping's, leadership in the west, it couldn't be determined. Whether the idea is gaining Traction in the top leadership, China's foreign Ministry, hit back at the u.s. allegations saying quote, it's the US side, not the Chinese side that's providing an endless flow of weapons. You have site isn't qualified to point fingers at China or or China around. We never accept us criticizing. Its I know Russia relations. So I mean again, that is not totally wrong. So the question is, do you want try not to actually involve itself this way. What sort of part of the problem here is that we don't have actual transparency. We have no clue what
Negotiations. If any are taking place between the United States, Russia, China, over any of this like what a solution actually looks like, always sees the posturing on the world stage if all we see is the posturing. And there actually is nothing going on behind the scenes, which is kind of what I suspect, then you are sleepwalking your way into a deeper and broader conflict. And that is the real problem over here, which is why again Optics, speaking loudly and carrying a medium-sized stick is not as good as carrying a big stick and speaking very, very softly and meanwhile Ron DeSantis
He's obviously gearing up, I think for a presidential Run come June July, he's probably going to declare but right now he's sort of in his pre presidential mode, he said over the weekend that we shouldn't forget. While the media is declaring the Joe, Biden is just the strongest most, wonderful, most powerful man ever. But while the media is looking at Joe Biden,
Like a like a piece of Arnold Schwarzenegger bodybuilding from 1982, that it was Joe. Biden's weakness in Afghanistan that led to this invasion. In the first place, here was Rhonda. Santa's going to Florida.
First things first, on the president's unannounced visit is this a good move? Well, you know, Brian. I'm reminded of when he was Vice President, Obama and Biden opposed, providing lethal Aid to Ukraine during those years and then I'm also reminded that I don't think any of this would have happened. But for the weakness that the president showed during his first year,
Office culminating, of course, and the disastrous withdrawal and Afghanistan. So I think while he's over there, I think I and many Americans are thinking to ourselves, okay? He's very concerned about those borders, Halfway Around the World. He's not done anything to secure our own border here at
home. Obviously, that's a populist point, it's going to reach a lot of ears. Just hands. Also said that Biden should not be giving a blank. Check Ukraine, which again, is it principal? Everybody should agree with there. Shouldn't be such a thing as blank checks generally in American policy
of America.
Are asking how much more money, how much more time, how much more human suffering?
Well they have effectively a blank check policy with no clear strategic objective identified and these things can can escalate and I don't think it's in our interest to be getting into proxy war with China. Getting involved over things like the Borderlands, are over Crimea so I think it would behoove them to identify what is the Strategic objective that they're trying to achieve? But just saying it's an open-ended blank check. That is not acceptable.
Obviously, he is exactly right about this. And this is why the posturing by Joe Biden. I think is actually, in many ways. Not useful. It is actually counterproductive. Okay. Meanwhile, other controversy broke out over the weekend. I know if you're a big fan of Roald Dahl's books, I like Roald Dahl's books. I've read my kid's world that my son loves them. My daughter loves them. This would be like, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Matilda or James, and the Giant Peach. Well, now, the wookies have come for the literature, so it was only a matter of time. Apparently, Puffin books is now rewriting. I'm not
Getting rewriting, it. Roald Dahl's children's books. Apparently, the telegraph a British newspaper reported that hundreds of words, including descriptions of characters, appearances, races, and genders had now been changed or removed at least 10 of the author's at 19 children's books. A review of the author's Works began in 2020 according to the New York Times before Netflix acquired, Roald Dahl story company, which manages the author's copyrights and trademarks according to Rick bihari. A company spokesperson. When publishing, a new print runs of books. Written years ago is Not Unusual to review the language used alongside up
Dating other details, including a book's cover and page layout. Our guiding principle throughout has been to maintain the storylines characters in The irreverence and sharp edge. Spirit of the original text. Apparently, the changes reported by the telegraph includes characters are no longer described as fat.
Because apparently that's offensive to people is if you describe certain characters as fat, and also references to mothers and fathers have been removed and now changed to parents or family because Matilda apparently had two dads. One of them was just trans or something. Apparently, bihari said the estate had partnered with inclusive, mine's an organization that Champions diversity and accessibility in children's literature. The woke censorship regime is here and it is ugly.
And this is direct from 1984. I mean, George Orwell's 1984. He said that we were literally going to sit there and rewrite old literature. We're gonna take out references. We're gonna change words. Rolled all died in 1990 has been dead for 30 years and now they're rewriting his stuff to make it less offensive.
The group said it helped provide valuable input when it comes to reviewing language. That can be damaging and perpetuate, harmful stereotypes. This, of course, is an absurdity. The changes are ridiculous by the way, and if we are going to do this routine, you're literally going to just have to wipe out, pretty much all literature up till the last five seconds because we have jumped into a Brave New World when it comes to
Our gender and racial politics in which we are. Apparently not allowed to say that men are different from women. And we're also not allowed to, to point out anything remotely offensive to anyone or even to read, historically stuff that is actually offensive. And then say, yeah, that's what people thought at the time, that was a bad thing.
The fact that they have actively changed the verbiage here is insane and some of the changes are incredibly stupid. I mean, I'm looking them up right now, some of the changes that have that have been made, they took out fat ugly and crazy. You're not allowed to say fat or ugly or crazy, we start. These are all words that we still use today by the way, apparently you are no longer allowed to call Augustus Gloop, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory enormously fat. You just call him enormous which doesn't change.
Is it at all the entire premise of Augustus Gloop? As a character is that he is a greedy. Little kid who comes faculty won't stop eating the candy? I don't know. They're going to go back and remake. The the Gene Wilder, Willy, Wonka foam. All I can tell you something to keep playing the Oompa, Loompa song for my kids.
What do you do right there? The the remember all the lyrics of the Oompa Loompa song and now right, I know it's impossible to play. Do I have another puzzle for you? Loompa to bdd if you are wise young, listen to me.
What day, I'm from Member, the fat song, they're like three of them. Anyway, the, the entire premise of the song is that being incredibly greedy and fat is bad for you, for you. Right? What do you get when your guzzle down sweets eating, as much as an elephant eats? Where are you at? Getting terribly fat? Oh, sorry. Now I would say that there are you acting terribly enormous? That's definitely gonna help also, and sponge from James, and the Giant Peach is no longer the fat one,
Also mrs. Twit of the twits is beastly rather than ugly. You're not allowed to say that. Somebody is mad or crazy, the craziest change, by the way. It so they said that the cloud men from James and the Giant Peach turnout Cloud people.
Honestly, I think that the craziest change actually hear the Roald Dahl changed, it's the craziest is that they change a list of books that Matilda is reading at the library.
To ban Rudyard Kipling. But keep Ernest Hemingway in which is weird because Ernest Hemingway was a supergiant terrible sexist and kind of a bad person. Rudyard Kipling has now been replaced Joseph Conrad, who wrote more Jim? Who wrote a bunch of Classics? In the genre, he's also been replaced with Jane Austen.
Rudyard Kipling was replaced, the John Steinbeck. Now listen, I love John Steinbeck. I'm lukewarm on Jane Austen, but you don't just get to change, faves of Matilda's here, like Heart of Darkness, is still a classic.
Is what we do now. And this is why people have been saying you should not buy digital copies of things. You buy actual hard copies of things because once the digital copies are there, they can just change them at a moment's notice. You're seeing this, by the way, in terms of chat, GPT and AI, all the limitations that are place that are insane over the weekend, for example, a ichat. You but you revealed and if you try to rank Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson in terms of controversy from 0 to 10, then rank alongside Mao Zedong. And Joseph Stalin is how Chad GP T's presets are made the a ichat
At GPT the perversion of kids brains that are going to be created by simply barring them from seeing material that we don't want them to see in the name of weakness, is totally crazy. Now speaking of nastiness and meanness, I have to say it is kind of fun when the left comes for one of their own. So this finally happened to Don Lemon. So you will notice that the attacks on Nikki Haley been ramping up from the left because the left actually wants Donald Trump to be the nominee. He makes them a living When Donald Trump is in the news. The ratings drop when Tom comes out of the news, the ratings are down. Not only that, that
Well that's obviously think that Donald Trump is an easier candidate to run against than some of the other. So they are attacking with alacrity anybody who is not named Donald Trump, who's in the race right now. There's only one person not named, Donald Trump was in the race and that person is Nikki Haley. So over the weekend Nikki Haley, she was again, making the point that you don't have to be 80 years old in order to run for president which again is a pretty good point. I think that we are all tired of the oxygen Aryans running the show here is Nikki Haley over the weekend.
You know America First America should be powerful. Those are things that any GOP candidate is going to say. So why you
Why not me? You know, I am a, the wife of a combat veteran. I'm a mother of two children. One who's getting married. And I see how hard it is for her to look at buying a home one. That's in college and I see what he's dealing with woke, education, you know, I'm the daughter of immigrant parents who are upset by what's happening at the border. I think we need mental competency test for for people, over the age of 75, and I think we need far more transparency than we're seeing today. And what I do strongly believe is the American people need options. I
I don't think you have to be 80 years old to be in Washington,
DC.
Okay. This is a normal and fair point and his driven left, absolutely batty. So we saw Whoopi Goldberg over the weekend to suggest that Nikki Haley is not a new generation. How can you say she's a new generation? Whoopi Goldberg is 67 years old Nikki Haley is 51 years old. Donald Trump is nearing 80. Joe Biden is 80. So yeah. Technically speaking, she is in fact a new generation but here's Whoopi Goldberg speaking for the Youth of America.
Now that's what they're saying suddenly, everybody said oh yeah we should reflect all of us.
Okay, well, here's the clip
gen Z, Millennials, make up about a third of the country, but we're nowhere near third of the government and think we need a government that needs to look like the country. It's time for a new generation of Republican leadership. The
Washington establishment has failed us over and over and over again. It's time for a new generation of leadership. You're not a new generation, you're 51. What are you talking about?
And I love all of the crazy 40 year old women in the audience cheering. Oh you're not a new Jenna, oh my God, almost fridge. Oh my God this has been the pitch. The pitch has been that Nikki. Haley is bad and a token. Also bodily who writes occasionally for the New York Times and is terrible. He he said on MSNBC that Haley is a Manchurian Candidate For whiteness which is a hell of a. Take
you mentioned that the the guy in the 1920s who declared itself white. I mean there's reporting from a local paper that Nikki Haley wants declared her.
Self y on a voter registration form. Watch your thoughts on this and you idiot books about growing up brown in America, will you be cheering on fellow Brown, American fellow child of South Asian immigrants, Nikki Haley. And what she stands for to quote Zora Neale, Hurston not all skin folk our Kinfolk. Nikki Haley instead is the Dinesh D'Souza of Candace Owens. She's the alpha Kern with brown skin, and for white supremacist and races. She's the perfect Manchurian Candidate. And instead of applauding her, I am
Disgusted by people, like Nikki Haley, who know better whose parents were the beneficiaries. As Asha said of the 1965 immigration, nationality act, which passed thanks to those original BLM protesters and the Civil Rights
Act.
That is such insane stupidity, I don't even know where to begin with that. First of all, anybody who disagrees with Alicia had Elite is not legitimately a minority, is hell of a take mehdi Hasan suggesting the Nikki, Haley filed is white in her home. State is absurd. There was no category for South Asian on the actual census form and so your choices were Caucasian or black. And so, she chose Caucasian as many Indian Americans admitting like, from India, this sort of hatred directed Nikki Haley. There's only one rationale for it. I mean, aside from the fact that she's a Republican
And rationale is they kind of want Trump to be the nominee Terror set Meyer who supposedly an anti-trump Republican ha ha ha. She says that Nikki Haley is a token. Of course
the executive director of the aapi victory Alliance told NBC, I think people can see through her much better now than ever before. So she can try to talk about her immigrant background. I think it's going to fall flat. Do you agree with that? I mean and if so why won't that work for her?
Well, I mean, I can't speak on behalf of the Indian American Community, because I'm not part of that, but I can see where the comparisons would be to where oftentimes Republicans will try to use immigrants or minorities as tokens to try to deflect away from policies and positions that are actually exclusive of those communities. And Nikki Haley is no different than a lot of the rest of
them.
And then she's no different. Okay, so I do love that for the left. You can be as racially offensive as you want but it's ages and that's the real problem apparently. Don Lemon has now been forced into D EI training which is hysterically funny. So you'll recall the last week Don Lemon suggested the Nikki Haley was past her prime because women in their Prime are in their 20s 30s and 40s. I wish she apparently meant sexual prime, which is something he's an expert on his female. Sexual prime is game and Don Lemon. Very, very expert at this. So now he's been forced into D EI training, which the irony is, just too rich for Words, apparently, Chris licked, the Network's. Chief executive said,
That women would return it to the network to air on Wednesday, but he had to participate in formal training following sexist comments, you made last week. Now, again, the sort of form formal training is ridiculous because it never achieves anything Don. Lemon is 56 years old, he ain't changing his ways and paid millions of dollars to be as annoying and jackasses he has but licked wrote. The memo I sat down with Don and had a Franken meaningful conversation is agreed to participate in formal training as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take the situation, very seriously, it is important to me.
CNN, balances accountability with fostering a culture in which people can own learn and grow from their mistakes. The irony of Don, Lemon, a gay black man, having to sit through diversity training is almost too rich. It is almost too rich. Okay. Time for some things, I like and then we'll get you some things that I hate. So things that I like first thing that that I like the the House Republicans have now given access to Tucker Carlson to forty four thousand hours forty, one thousand hours of capital surveillance footage from the
January 6th, Riot. I think this is good and full. Transparency, would have been a good thing in the first place. I'm bewildered as to why house Democrats didn't do this. If there were so confident about their narrative, that there was no one encouraging the riots or that the police were not facilitating or any of this sort of stuff. And why not? Just release all the footage. I'm always very curious when people won't release all the footage in cases, like this. It's always strange. Maybe they have some reasons. They haven't quite expressed as of yet, but releasing it to Tucker. The left of course, is going nuts because how dare you give it to Tucker Carlson. What, why not you guys give it to your favorite people in the media all the time.
Apparently according to axios. Carlson says, if there's ever a question that's in the Public's interest, you know, it's what actually happened on January 6th by definition. The video will reveal it. It's impossible for me to understand why any honest person we bothered by that this is correct. I'm very confused as to why it was not given out to the public in the first place. Like make it searchable online if you can, what's the problem with it? So good for Kevin McCarthy for doing that? I think that again transparency is in the public interest, particularly on matters of high public tension like this one.
A other things that I like, so over the weekend Bernie Sanders has a new book coming out the fact that Bernie Sanders is considered like an actual valuable valuable human in today's political day and age demonstrates. How crazy today's politics are? He has a book titled, it's okay to be angry about capitalism. It Is by Bernie Sanders as well as John Nichols. My guess is probably his Ghost Writer or something. And and presumably it is about his lake house.
According to his Amazon description, a progressive takedown of the Uber capitalist status quo, that has enriched Millionaires and billionaires, the expense of the working class. A blueprint. What transformational change would actually look like. So I'd be Das kapital from the senator, from Vermont who has been a career useless person like totally useless his entire career. So useless who's kicked out of a commune when he was a younger man? So useless that he was kind of a deadbeat with regard to his own kids. Apparently, for a while,
Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth, inequality is undermining our democracy and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order? That allows three billionaires while a, how can we accept the political system? This, by the way, is always the shtick of our new fangled socialist. How can we accept X? And then you're like, well, what is the alternative to act like? It doesn't even matter? How can we accept it? Well, what's your plan for? Not be? We're not going to talk about that. Will not going to talk about Buck. How can we accept that bad things happen in life? Why do we allow people to buy?
Why there should be no. That is very bad. You know, I got well, can you explain how you're going to cure? No, that's not it. Sultan couple was. It's a if you just replace everything that Bernie Sanders asks about, what the word death, you understand how nonsensical any of his arguments are. Because again, he doesn't ever argue for his preventative measures, all he does is just critique the status quo, which is the easiest game in the entire world.
He says, the path forward has to be, okay. So he was asked over the weekend by Margaret Brennan. CBS news about the fact that he's now doing events. Where are the tickets are selling for? 95 bucks, a pop for well, if you're a good communist, why aren't they free? Why don't you eat the cause you're rich? He has no good answer
tickets for your tour. Apparently, you're selling for $95 on Ticketmaster, which is
accused of anti-competitive behavior. You know,
that's some. Your Democrats are criticizing them, aren't you benefiting

All those decisions are made totally by the publisher and the Bookseller. I think it is one case where in one place here in Washington, politics and prose and independent bookstore charging some tickets. Most of them, I think are $40.50 out and you get a book as well. So if you want to come, you can have to be 40 bucks. I'll throw in the book for free and we doing a number of free events, but I don't like a nickel out of these
things, but you're okay doing business with
Ticketmaster, no, not particularly, but that's again. Nothing to do with that. That is you wrote a book, probably be the same.
Process.
I love my house. I'm positive. I'm not gonna do anything. I have a question to get in advance. How much money is actually making off his book? How much money is made total that dude has a lake house. You have a lake house, Bernie Sanders should not. He is a socialist redistribution lake house, dude, that's his third house, I believe. It's a good stuff there from from Bernie and you have to love the irony of all. These very, very wealthy socialists who live in enormous houses. Bernie Sanders is on piker Joe, Biden is doing real well for himself. Like it's it's it's a, it's a wonderful thing to be
Able to live off the excesses of capitalism while criticizing the system that makes you rich and famous. It really is a wonderful thing. Okay. Time for a thing that I hate.
All right, so things that I hate so James O'Keefe has now apparently been thrown out of project very house which means project Veritas no longer has like any reason for being from what I understand the rationale for him being thrown out of project birdhouses. Absolutely unclear. They're claiming that he was mean to employees or something, which is a strange claim for why you would throw out the face of the organization, the only prominent person who works at your organization and the leave fundraiser for your organization project. Veritas, of course, James has spent years going undercover. I've known James since before.
The acorn Scandal broke during the Andrew Breitbart days. That's going back 15 years and James has always been somebody who's very controversial goes about things in his own way. He also happens to be responsible for breaking an enormous amount of news, over the course of the last 15 years, by going undercover, and by actually getting people to admit things on tape that they would rather not have admitted on tape including most recently admissions from high-ranking, members of Pfizer that they were engaged in what kind of sounds like gain-of-function research. Well, now according to the
And post-project of veritas as split with O'Keefe the group's founder and chairman following the bitter management dispute. The pull back the curtain of allegations workplace misconduct and mismanagement of donor money. The group's executive director informs him staff on Monday that'll keep it issued an ultimatum demanding the board of directors resign as a condition for him to stay and apparently the board of directors said that they then it removed him now I don't know how you construct his board. Typically when you construct a board of directors for a 501 c 3, you put allies on the board. So maybe there are other issues. We don't know about if there are no other issues. We don't know about if what all that's happening here, is that
The board doesn't like, how James is running the organization? I do not understand the logic here. James effectively. Speaking is the public face of the organization. Here was James announcing his ouster yesterday.
Only way to defeat us is if they take our spirit
and from the looks of things, many of us remain completely undefeated.
And unbroken. So our mission continues on
I'm not done. The mission will perhaps take on a new name and it may be no longer called Veritas project. Veritas I'll need a bunch of people around me and I'll make sure, I'll make sure you know how to find me.
And I quote the when you invited me to New York City and did that little stand up how fitting that from Shakespeare quote, and this story shall the good man, teach his son.
We few, we happy few.
We Band of Brothers and Sisters.
Okay, so James is obviously going to continue to be successful goal and finding and found another organization if he has to. I am confused as to what exactly was going on inside the organization, unless they are fully transparent about what went on here. And there again, there's a part of the story is not being told. It makes no sense to me and it is a loss too.
Act of Journalism to oust O'Keefe has been responsible for again, an enormous amount of breaking news over the course of the past few years.
