Speaker 1So, um, let's just get this straight. Probably the greatest work of Christian apologetics made metaphor for Halloween. For children is being turned into the main character who stands for Jesus is being made into a David Bowie bisexual rock singer based lion voiced by a left-wing actress.
Speaker 5I'm trying to make it magical.
Speaker 1What the actual f**k? Okay, so I promise I'll get to all the hard news. President Trump at the U.N. A bunch of push polls from states that aren't competitive for Democrats. Canada euthanizing old ladies. But I want to start with this story. It sounds unimportant. Actually, it is not unimportant because as my mentor and friend Andrew Breitbart used to say, culture is upstream of politics. That's why we're in the entertainment game here at Daily Wire. Okay, so I log on to the internet this week and I see something totally crazy. So, The Chronicles of Narnia is, of course, being remade now by Netflix and they hired Greta Gerwig, for some reason no one can discern, to be the director of this thing. And she released. an image of Aslan, who is the metaphorical Jesus figure in The Chronicles of Narnia. And the metaphorical image has now been made into a lion with two variantly colored eyes. Why did she do that? Well, according to Empire Online, she did this because she wanted to channel David Bowie. She wanted to channel, not only that, she wants the voice of Aslan, the lion, in Chronicles of Narnia, to be Meryl Streep. And she said, quote, "I wanted someone who's profound, but not pretentious who had gravitas, but not morose self-seriousness. Someone who could communicate depth and pathos, as well as joy and delight." So, C.S. Lewis is, of course, the most famous Christian apologist of the last century and a half. In The Chronicles of Narnia, he lays out his philosophy on Christianity basically as a metaphorical fairy tale designed for kids. And he was open about this. Here is what he intended with the books. A direct quote from C.S. Lewis about what the books were supposed to be, quote, "Supposing, by casting all these things into an imaginary world, stripping them of their stained glass and Sunday school associations, one could make them, for the first time, appear in their real potency. Could one not thus steal past those watchful dragons? I thought one could." In other words, the sort of cynicism with which people approach religion, the sort of tiredness and hackneyed nature of going to a church, he can strip that away by making it into a story that people want to read, by making it into a metaphor. Now, again, the goal here was to teach children in the West about the values of Christianity and about the story of Christianity via metaphor. That is the goal of the story. We're not talking here about some strange take on the Gospels for adults, like The Last Temptation of Christ or some movie comedy that mocks Jesus. We're talking about a tool that was intended originally by its author to introduce Western kids to Christian ideas and figures. Only a Sikh culture would take that thing designed for kids and pervert it and turn it instead into a vehicle for secular politics. That is what Hollywood is. That is what it's actually doing. This is where you come into the Greta Gerwig of it all. So Greta Gerwig, of course, directed Little Women. She has sort of a feminist take on Little Women. And she directed Barbie, which is, of course, an atrocity. You can see my very famous review in which I literally burn Barbie dolls. Just a thing that we did here at the Daily Wire offices. But Greta Gerwig is sort of an interesting person. She's a person who is a little bit Christianity curious. She used to go to church fairly regularly. She has said so. She says she appreciates Catholicism, but she was Unitarian. Unitarian is basically if there is a symbol, if the symbol for Catholicism is a crucifix, the symbol for Unitarianism is a question mark. But she's also said that the reason that she was attracted to Catholicism was because of the Virgin Mary, which she openly connects with pagan energy. Here's what she said, quote. It feels like this God, the father thing is a bit alienating for me. But to engage with the idea of a woman is the mother. It seems like it's connected to a more pagan type of religion. And she also said, I'm interested in. What women do in spaces that are primarily male in structures that are patriarchal. Most religions and religious institutions fall into this category. So in other words, her goal is to read left wing social values, particularly feminism into traditional religious values. And Hollywood decided she was perfect. Maybe she was the only person that Hollywood knew went to church sometimes, I guess. So they handed off the movie franchise to her. And her first moves were to hire a woman, Meryl Streep, a very, very left wing woman to voice Aslan. A metaphorical representation of Jesus in the books, obviously an incredibly male character, and then to create imagery around Aslan that's designed to mimic a rock star bisexual David Bowie. So again, why isn't this frivolous? Why does this matter? Well, because in any society, how you teach your kids is how you view your society and how you view your aspiration for the future. If you take religious iconography designed for kids and you turn it on its head for the sake of subversiveness, again, for kids, that is stupid and wrong. It's one thing to do this sort of thing for adults. Adults are adults, and they can discern. This is a children's story designed to appeal to children. And what Hollywood is doing here is trying to subvert the basic ideas of Chronicles of Narnia. And then they'll say, why are you so exorcised? Again, this is face tattoo syndrome. Face tattoo syndrome, as I've described on the show, is where you go into your local Starbucks and there's some weird dude behind the counter with a gigantic face tattoo. And we stare at the face tattoo. The guy growls at you. What are you looking at? It's like, well, I mean, it's the face tattoo. If you take a cherished and beloved piece of children's literature that is a metaphor for the New Testament, and then you decide that you're going to get a left-wing director to subvert all of the assumptions of that piece of work. And then we notice that is not our fault. That is your fault. For the leftists in the audience who are pretending not to get it, this is like if the Daily Wire decided to do a Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic for kids, right? Designed to teach them social values and feminism. And then we cast Bill Cosby in the title role, right? It would be weird. And it would not be good. Okay, so this is what Hollywood is doing. But this is also where we are increasingly as a culture and as we can all feel it. We have moved beyond a sort of pure and innocent love for our basic civilizational principles. Everybody is now ironic about all of these things or openly mocking of all of these things. When somebody talks about the stuff that our parents and grandparents used to take for granted as fundamentals of our society, we're now kind of slightly embarrassed by them. God, freedom, family, the American flag. All those terms sound strangely parochial and anachronistic. They sound like a throwback to 1950s. What are you, living in 1950s white picket fence land? Don't you know we're more sophisticated than that? Now, I don't think most Americans like that. I think most Americans actually resonate still to those ideas. Maybe that's why President Trump won twice because he is, again, anachronistic. Now, I used to make fun of the MAGA hats when they first came on the scene because they look ugly. MAGA hats look like that thing that your grandparents used to hand you at the family reunion in 1997 in Colorado. Or at the Mall of America in Minnesota or something. But maybe that was the point because Trump had this kind of throwback feel to him. And many Americans still pine for that feeling. That actually, we don't have to feel embarrassed at basic and obvious things that are good about the West and about America. That, by the way, is why people have been so excited about Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels. Because in the movies we make, America is good and America's enemies are bad. And if you don't like it, well, you can F off. You can stick it where the sun don't shine. In fact, if you give us a really particularly bad. Review, we'll probably feature it in our advertising campaigns. Hey, Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels. Again, for those of you who don't know. Those who haven't seen it, you should go on over to Daily Wire right now and you should go check it out because it is the hottest moving entertainment piece that we have put out at the Daily Wire ever. I mean, it's truly, it's astonishing the level of success of that film. Honestly, this stuff is so depressing. Hollywood taking iconic Christian metaphors and then turning them into secularist nonsense. It's so depressing. It makes you just want to go to sleep. But you actually need better sleep in your real life. And not just when you want to be depressed and go to sleep, but when you actually need to sleep. And this means you need better product on your bed. You get in bed, you've got those sheets that you got like at a gas station because they had quote unquote high thread count. A high thread count doesn't mean bleep. It doesn't mean anything. All that matters is the materials of the stuff you have on your bed, whether it breathes, whether it feels good. That's bowl and branch. I literally travel with bowl and branch product whenever I go anywhere at home abroad. I've got bowl and branch. I bring it with me because it's just that good. You're going to sleep better with bowl and branch. I've been making you this promise for legitimately a decade probably at this point. There's a reason for that. Because it happens to be true. My wife is into it. She brings bowl and branch product. When we travel with the kids, we bring bowl and branch blankets for the kids. It's just that good. Again, go right now to bowl and branch.

Are longing for this sort of throwback feeling. And that was president Trump at the UN yesterday. So this gets us to like actual real news. So yesterday the president went to the UN. Now I've said about the UN before the UN is the most eyes leave international politics. It's a wretched hive of scum and villainy. The world's worst people show up at the UN and unchallenged spew absolute horse crap. Whether it's Emmanuel Macron, the ridiculous president of France, wildly unpopular, showing up and claiming that there is no Hamas in the so-called West Bank, Judea and Samaria. Literally Hamas killed a person on Friday in the West Bank. Or whether it is the Emir of Qatar complaining naturally about the Jewish state. Again, all the UN is basically designed to just rip on America and Israel. That is what it is designed to do. It is my considered opinion. It has been for decades that the United States should not only pull out of the UN and defund the UN utterly and completely. We ought to then use eminent domain to seize the building, destroy it and salt the ground where it once stood. The UN is trash. It has always been. It has never accomplished a single thing of real value, the United Nations. Nonetheless, the president of the United States went to the UN yesterday. And there he said some basically true things like Iran is a problem and Cuba is bad. And it's a reminder. It's a reminder of why he won. I know President Trump right now is very unpopular. And a little bit later on in the show, I'm going to get to why President Trump is indeed unpopular. But it is not because of this stuff. It is not, in fact, because of the stuff that he's saying at the UN. There's an op right now to pretend that the real reason for President Trump's unpopularity is foreign policy. That is not true. By the polling data, it is not true. The reality is that Americans have affordability concerns. President Trump came into office saying he was going to alleviate the affordability concerns. He has not, in fact, alleviated the affordability concerns. And therefore, his polling numbers have consistently slid since Liberation Day. I mean, it's kind of fascinating to look at those polling numbers. And we'll get back to that in a second. But the stuff that is not responsible for that is. In fact, his view that America ought to be strong and powerful in the world. So yesterday, President Trump goes to the UN and he opens up by saying that, unlike other presidents, he believes in actually solving problems as opposed to letting them fester.
Speaker 6As president of the most extraordinary nation in history, I have no interest in leaving dangers to grow for another day. I do not believe in letting problems fester. They only become harder to solve. So while others have talked, I have acted while others have spoken of peace. I have made peace while others have ignored threats. I have confronted them while others have talked of courage. America has shown it while others have promised strength. I have used it to make America the most powerful country in the world. Working with many nations in this room, we are solving decades of intractable challenges. And we are settling years of unfinished business, and we're doing it well.
Speaker 1Okay, the president is right about this. There have been a lot of presidents who have claimed that they were going to do something about the problem of a nuclearizing Iran. President Obama tried to appease it. Joe Biden tried to appease it. President Trump did not. So President Trump doubled down on that yesterday. He said that there is still the possibility of eliminating the rest of the Iranian regime, essentially. Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 6But I have a big decision to make. Will it? Will the deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope? Of future greatness or generations. But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election, because it doesn't make sense for them not to. They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don't realize is that I'm not running.
Speaker 1Okay, so again, the president basically suggesting that Iran's intransigence will go away after the midterms, that they're trying to pressure America via manipulation of oil supplies, whether it's in the Babylonian Strait or whether it is in the Strait of Hormuz in order to hurt Republicans. But he's saying, listen, I'm still going to be president when that election is over. And I still have plenary power over foreign policy, which, of course, is true. He called on our allies to continue isolating Iran economically.
Speaker 6I call on all nations to join us in enforcing the complete economic isolation of Iran until they stop their attacks on commercial shipping, relinquish their nuclear ambitions and cease their support of terrorism. The terrorist regime is behaving badly, not because they are strong and confident, but because they are weak and desperate. If we stand united, we will soon see a world free of the last 51-year menace of Iranian terror, and oil prices will come plummeting down even lower than they were at the start of the conflict.
Speaker 1Okay, so he is right about all of that. Now. With that said, the president seems to have laying in the back of his head this bizarre hope that Iran is going to come around and make a deal. So yesterday, Steve Witkoff and Jerry Kushner were once again on the sidelines at the UN talking with the Iranians. I'm just telling you, it's not going to work. It is not going to work because Iran is run by the IRGC. The IRGC is not going to give up its nuclear development program. The IRGC is not going to give up any of its power. The IRGC is not going to stop its fomenting of terrorism all across the Middle East. By the way, not predominantly aimed. At this point, at Israel, now predominantly aimed at Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has been under consistent and steady assault by the Houthis who are backed by Iran. That's where they're getting their weaponry. And Saudi Arabia has been shouting to the heavens for someone to help Saudi Arabia. Again, I have to say, the Saudi kingdom, it's hard to imagine how they could have played their cards worse. They tried to triangulate between the United States and the Chinese, trying to make time with the Pakistanis and the Turks. They formed this ridiculous. Mecca coalition, which has which has provided precisely zero security for the Saudi. So Saudi is under current assault by the Houthis and the Pakistanis and Turks are supposedly virile military allies are giving them a high five as they drown. And so Saudi has been relegated to calling on President Trump to help again or trying to coordinate with the Israelis whom it refuses to normalize with for the sake of the Palestinians who themselves are supportive of terrorism. So good luck to the Saudi. Honestly, but when it comes to negotiations with the Iranians, I am significantly more doubtful that the Iranians are going to give up the ghost, as they say here. In fact, the Iranian security chief laid out terms to end the war on Saturday, and those terms are exactly what they always were, which are basically United States surrender. According to Iran International, Iran has told Qatari and Pakistani mediators that ending the war on all fronts, releasing seized Iranian assets and lifting the naval blockade are its conditions for negotiations with Washington. Now, that's not going to happen. That's not going to happen. Hey, the reality is that the United States is faced with a couple of choices when it comes to Iran. One is we can continue to strangle their economy to the point where they can't pay their own IRGC members, where they can't pay the so-called Assisi, where they can't pay their soldiers on the ground to murder people, where the economy is completely collapsed. Nobody has a job. And eventually there's an uprising. Or we could shorten that process by essentially destroying the South Pars gas field and also by destroying Kargil. And I've been advocating for that since April, essentially, when the United States, in what I believe is a foolish move, decided to unilaterally declare a ceasefire. That ceasefire has earned us zero love and has only prolonged whatever pain we are feeling in the oil markets. And as for the notion that doing that sort of thing would inevitably destroy Iran for generations, that, of course, is not true. The United States literally destroyed all of Germany, destroyed Japan, like dropped two atomic weapons on Japan. And by the 1960s, Japan. Was out competing the United States in the car industry. So it turns out that actually rebuilding after war can be done fairly quickly. quickly when you have a regime that is friendly to the rebuilding. But bottom line here is that what President Trump is saying about the Middle East is correct. It is correct. And people should remember this going into the 2026 election, because if the Democrats take power, they'll go right back to appeasing the Iranians. They'll go right back to allowing Iran to rebuild its terrorist and nuclear capacities. It is what Barack Obama and John Kerry did. It is what Joe Biden did. They will allow it full stop. It's not just about Iran, by the way. The president also spoke about the Western Hemisphere. So the president has radically shifted the nature of politics in the Western Hemisphere. Venezuela, of course, has essentially been throttled until it squeaks. The United States went and grabbed at Nicolás Maduro, the criminal dictator of Venezuela, and then basically dictated terms to Delcy Rodríguez, the new Venezuelan Marxist dictator, by grabbing hold of their oil supplies. Here's the president talking about it yesterday at the UN.
Speaker 6When you add the United States and Venezuela together, we have more than 60% of the oil in the world. So it's perhaps the biggest deal. It was a war, but it's perhaps the biggest deal ever made. To the victor belong the spoils. You've all heard that. Our actions in Venezuela are proof that the United States will no longer permit threats to America to gain a foothold anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.
Speaker 1The president is right about that. It is, again, worth remembering. As we go into a midterm, it's worth remembering what Democrats would do if they had the chance. And the answer is they would let Venezuela just be a socialist dictatorship that exports drugs and people to our soil. I mean, here's Senator Chris Coons declaring that the Maduro capture was modern imperialism.
Speaker 7One of the worst consequences, I think, of this presidency is his crowing about seizing Venezuela's oil, an action against Maduro that began as an action, at least hopefully, to advance democracy. Has become more and more clearly an action of modern imperialism.
Speaker 1Again, this is what Democrats believe. And this is why the president's view on foreign policy is significantly closer to sort of normal American muscular peace through strength than anything Democrats are presenting. The president went on at the UN to talk about the drug cartels.
Speaker 6Upon taking office, I designated the drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and unleashed the United States. The United States Armed Forces to eliminate them. The cartels are the ISIS of the Western hemisphere, not good people. They're enemies at war with civilization using murder, rape, torture and extortion as instruments of terror. Like ISIS, they should be killed, exiled or detained as enemy combatants without the possibility of release, which is what we're doing.
Speaker 1That, of course, is correct. It is worth remembering the Democrats would never have done any of that. The president also went after Cuba. He called Cuba a failed state, at which point the Cuban delegation got up and walked out in a dramatic display of ire and umbrage from a regime that has repressed its people for well over half a century.
Speaker 6It's an absolutely failed state. It's failing like never before, and it will fall. Marco Rubio is handling a negotiation. He's deep into negotiations with Cuba. Let's see what happens. We'll not allow a haven for foreign adversaries to threaten America on our own doorstep. It's right at our doorstep. The Cuban regime has also spent decades coordinating with the left-wing radicals and communist networks here in the United States. As our State Department has detailed, they've cultivated ties to subversive and radical groups such as the Communist Party USA, Antifa, and the Democrat Socialists of America. The Cuban regime has also spent decades coordinating with the left-wing radicals and communist networks such as the Communist Party USA, Antifa, and the Democrat Socialists of America. Communism will never be coming to America, but freedom will be coming to Cuba.
Speaker 1So, again, this is a big difference from the Democrats, and I'm pointing out the contrast here. The contrast is really important because if the Democrats take power, we're going right back to this. Remember, in 2016, Barack Obama literally went to Cuba to hold hands with the Castros. Here he was, hanging out in Cuba. He went to a baseball game with Fidel and Raul. Remember this ridiculous vision of him with his limp wrist with Raul Castro over there? You can go right back to that if you'd like. America. The president was also at the UN talking about global government, and he said, Listen, we're not doing global government because global government sucks. And this is a traditionally American point of view. There is no global
Speaker 6government, and while I'm president, there will be no global taxes. The United States is equally opposed to the out-of-control institution known as the International Criminal Court. We will never allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trial. by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us. They're an evil group of people. I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately.
Speaker 1So, he is right about that. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is now preparing to impose sweeping sanctions on the ICC. The sanctions would forbid most transactions with the ICC after a grace period of six to seven months, which would cripple the court because then it couldn't conduct transactions. The ICC is, again, a disgusting system. It was set up by people who hate the United States. There's a reason why the United States never joined the International Criminal Court. It is run by people who hate the West, including former chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who was ousted in July over sexual assault allegations, but only after declaring that the defense minister of Israel was a war criminal alongside Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas. Just unbelievable stuff. So, again, President Trump at the U.N., I've said before, the U.N. is filled with horrible, horrible people. But your business needs to be filled with horrible people. Awesome people. Don't go recruit at the U.N. Those people are horrible. Instead, head over to ZipRecruiter. ZipRecruiter makes it super easy for you to get the best people. How? Well, one way is to make sure that candidates who want to work for you have a pipeline to make sure that you know they want to work for you. We've said at Daily Wire before that there's one quality you can't teach people, and that's hungry. You can't teach hungry. Well, how exactly do you recruit for hungry? It's difficult. You look at a resume. It doesn't tell you enough. But ZipRecruiter makes it easy for amazing candidates to get your attention. Four hours. Out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter will get a quality candidate within the very first day. You can try it for free at ZipRecruiter.com slash Daily Wire. Again, ZipRecruiter has extraordinary methods for allowing you to see whether people actually are applying to your company because they want to work there or whether they're just, you know, schlubs who need a job. You want the people who want to work at your company, who are desperate to work at your company, who are hungry. ZipRecruiter helps you do all that. We know because we use it here at Daily Wire ourselves. Head over to ZipRecruiter.com slash Daily Wire. That's ZipRecruiter.com slash Daily Wire. Try it for free. Meet your man. Match on ZipRecruiter. So the president, again, is a difference. It's a difference. When people say there's a uniparty, understand on foreign policy, there absolutely is not. The only uniparty that exists in American politics is the uniparty around never stopping the spending problem. When it comes to foreign policy, there is no uniparty. One party is for muscular peace through strength, and the other party is for a bizarrely pusillanimous foreign policy rooted in cowardice, led by morons like former Secretary of State John Kerry under Barack Obama. Who literally never got a single thing right on foreign policy. His entire life, he has never gotten anything right, and yet failed upward. Here he was in 2014, declaring that global rule of law and international law had to be the standard.
Speaker 8You know, they're really about more than claims to islands and reefs and rocks and the economic interests that flow from them. They're about whether might makes right or whether global rules and norms and rule of law and international law will prevail.
Speaker 1This is what the Democratic Party wants. It would love to outsource America's foreign policy and strength to please all of our enemies. President Trump, on the other hand, he says, listen, the U.N. has waged war on the West by promoting things like mass migration. Here was ripping into UNESCO.
Speaker 6It is deeply ironic that the United Nations has an entire institution, the UNESCO group of people and countries devoted to protecting cultural heritage. Yet, with their ceaseless promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history. There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation. And we want to remain a sovereign nation. And so should you.
Speaker 1He is right about that as well. And he rejected what he called globalist schemes on A.I. So we're not going to have our A.I. development curtailed by nations that hate us.
Speaker 6The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now here and after officially called superintelligence, changing the name, and that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. It makes it sound fake and it is not fake. It's actually amazing. But we have to be careful.
Speaker 1By the way, if you want to hear what good A.I. policy would look like or how A.I. is going to impact our economy, you should check out our brand new episode of Titans on tomorrow. I was joined by Andrew Ross Sorkin of CNBC to talk about that and much, much more. It's an awesome episode and totally worth the listen. You're going to learn something I know I did. And just by way of contrast, Bernie. Sanders is legitimately trying to coordinate with the Chinese government to crack down on American innovation. Here he was on April 26th talking in all of his technological expertise with the Chinese.
Speaker 9All right, let me just, bottom line, Dr. Tsai, I'm hearing you say that you have a real concern that if we do not control this technology, it could escape us with calamitous impacts. Is that correct?
Speaker 10Yeah, that is what I said. Without scientific evidence of how to secure ourselves, it's really dangerous to do this for the way that we're doing for the current AI.
Speaker 1Okay, so again, those are your choices, America. I mean, you could choose the left, but this is what you're going to get. You're going to get the anti-American party, the party that believes that America is a bad force in the world and needs to be curtailed by some vague notions of international law that are essentially manipulated by our enemies. When I speak of our enemies, by the way, I am talking about the UN, broadly speaking, obviously. This wasn't the only thing happening at the UN. Over at the UN, you had nation after nation get up and rip into America, rip into Israel, because this is what the UN exists for. It is a ridiculous, ridiculous institution that, as I've said before, should immediately be ended by the United States, which subsidizes it with your taxpayer dollars. Well, some of the people who were at the UN yesterday, it included UN is community sermons talking about how standing with Hamas in Gaza was standing against US hegemony. This was happening at the UN yesterday.
Speaker 11October 7th is just a byproduct of the oppression. What the Western Israel is doing in Gaza is a direct attack on humanity and justice, an insult on all of us. And standing with Gaza today is standing against settler colonialism, and yes, let us not kid ourselves. The Constitution gives us the right to say US hegemony.
Speaker 1Yes, I think we don't need more of these on our shores. I really don't. The evils of US hegemony standing against Hamas in Gaza. But this is what we've imported. By the way, when I talk about civilizations that are directing themselves towards self-destruction, when we talk about civilizations that mock their own central values, I just want to show you one image, because this is the whole problem. In one image. This is an image from Britain. And it is an image of the first female archbishop of Canterbury, which again, would have been anathema to all of the former archbishops of Canterbury until basically they decided that religion didn't matter in Great Britain anymore. Here she was handing an award to one Hafiz Mohammed Tahir Mahmoud Ashrafi. And the person who is standing between them is a woman. You can't tell that because for those who can't see, she is literally wearing a burlap sack over her entire body and nothing is visible of her, including her eyes. So this is what Britain has become. This is what happens when you decide to sublimate your entire civilization to radical Islam. This is what it looks like when you decide to take your civilizational values and crater them because you have no trust or belief in your own civilization. It looks like that picture. Well, now this first female archbishop of Canterbury, a woman named Dame Sarah Malali, withdrew this award. Why? Well, it turns out that the Muslim cleric praised bin Laden. According to the BBC, Hafiz Mohammed Tahir Mahmoud Ashrafi received the award for reconciliation and interfaith cooperation from Dame Sarah Malali last week on the 25th anniversary of 9-11. In presenting the award, the archbishop's office said Ashrafi was being honored for, quote, his outstanding work as an ambassador of interfaith harmony in Pakistan, known for his commitment to religious tolerance. Well, it turns out that, um, actually Ashrafi praised bin Laden as someone who, quote, had been fighting for Islam against the Russians, Americans, and British in 2007 and said that he would give bin Laden the title Saifullah, which means sword of God. He has also been supportive of Pakistan's blasphemy laws that have led to an estimated 2000 people being prosecuted since the late 80s. He said that blasphemy laws saved lives because they stop people from taking matters into their own hands. In order to stop people from burning down your house, we have to criminalize your blasphemy. Okay, that is a person who was given an award by the Archbishop of Canterbury, while flanked by a woman who's dressed in a burlap sack with her eyes not visible. This is what it looks like when you decide as a civilization to commit suicide. Unfortunately, it is not just in Britain. We have decided as a country that we also ought to import literally millions of people from countries and civilizations that despise us. Here, for example, is Imam Shamsi Ali, is chairman of the Al-Hikmah Mosque in Queens, New York, dismissing murders and rapes on October 8th. And saying that Muslims are going to revive American morality. Because the Americans, you know, we're just, we're immoral. And so we need to import millions of Muslims from all over the globe to revive American morality. And America is at
Speaker 12the brink of its death. And we Muslims are here to revive America. We bring back that morality to the society. Those who have been killed, don't worry about them. They are, they've been given good tidings. They are given the promises of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Do not think that they are, those who got killed in the path of Allah died. They are alive in the sight of Allah. And they are continuously given sustenance. Not only that, they're happy. They're happy. They're happy there. There is a news said that the Palestinians, fighters, you know, raped women, slaughtered children. And later on, without, without clarification, some leaders, including the president of the United States and the mayor of the city, mentioned in their speech that these people raped women, slaughtered children, and all of a sudden CNN say, we are sorry, we didn't clarify that news. The bad has become good. And the good has become evil.
Speaker 1Again, these are people on American soil praising terrorist groups. And, of course, now you have Islamic calls to prayer that are blasting across the open air of New York City. Presumably, this is happening five times a day, since that's when the prayers happen in the middle of New York City. Okay, so when you decide that your civilization is so corrupt, that you need to import people from foreign civilizations in order to destroy your civilization, you have a serious, serious problem. This brings us to Abdul El-Sayed. Abdul El-Sayed is, of course, the Michigan Senate candidate for the Democratic Party, who is totally in sync with all of this stuff. Abdul El-Sayed is as radical as radical can possibly be. Not to rehash every single time, but for those who don't know, El-Sayed is a person who has justified terrorism by claiming that hurt people hurt people. He is generally in line with the views of Hassan Piker, which is why he has not yet denounced him. El-Sayed's relatives are full-on in league with Muslim Brotherhood front organizations. And El-Sayed, according to our friends and sponsors over at Kalshi, has a 70% shot of becoming the next senator from Michigan, which is pretty astonishing. Well, he spent Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year, with two fake Jews from Jewish Voice for Peace. I say fake Jews because if you are a part of Jewish Voice for Peace, you are definitionally not Jewish. You might be Jewish, but you are not Jewish. You are not Jewish. You are not Jewish. You might be a Jew in the sense that you were born of a Jewish mother, which is the Jewish law definition of a Jew, but you are not Jewish because you have no connection with Jewish values in any way, shape, or form that is true for all of Jewish Voices for Peace, which are neither Jewish Voices nor for Peace. All they do is go around supporting people who despise Jews as a matter of sort of self-flagellation. So here is El-Sayed having Rosh Hashanah. The only Jews he knows who will support him are people who despise Israel, wish to see it disestablished, and are willing to say truly anything slanderous. About the state of Israel. That is who El-Sayed can find as his Jewish friends.
Speaker 13Hi there. How are you? Thank you so much. It's my pleasure. I'm Missy. So happy to have you. Thank you so much for hosting us.
Speaker 14This is Kugel. I'll just tell you, this is my grandma's recipe from my mom's mom.
Speaker 1Your grandma would be so proud.
Speaker 14Oh, wow. We've got pomegranates, apple cake. We dip our apples in honey. We recite the blessing of eating the tree fruit. I'll do it for the first time in English, which is bruch atah. She is reading a transliteration. English translation is, blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the tree.
Speaker 13Amen. Amen. Thank you.
Speaker 14You're welcome. Dig in.
Speaker 13I just tasted the Kugel. It's delicious. Wow. So meaningful. Wow. He likes Kugels. That means it's fine. I really appreciate that. It's all fine. But not overpoweringly sweet? Yeah. Yeah? And is this apricot? Descriptions of the Kugel.
Speaker 1The Ham Sandwich. As Jewish as a ham sandwich, as I've said before, Jewish Voices for Peace wrote after October 7th that the source of all violence, all violence, was Israeli apartheid and Israeli violence. Jewish Voices for Peace Network has advised Jews not to pray or recite in Hebrew because hearing Hebrew can be deeply traumatizing for Palestinians. And they have conducted multiple joint campaigns with front groups for terrorist groups. This is what they do. That is who El Sayed found to campaign with him to pretend that he's not radically anti-Semitic. Which, of course, he absolutely is. This is what we have imported. This is what the West has imported. Now we're going to make that person a senator. Tina Bash on CNN says that Michiganders who say by polling they won't vote for a Muslim. She says that those people are gross and terrible. It depends, I would say, on the beliefs of the person in question, would it not? Islam is not a race. Islam is a belief system. People who believe in political Islam, like, say, Abdul El-Sayed, no one should vote for those people, obviously. That is not a matter of whether you say Allah or whether you say Jesus or whether you say God. None of that is why people are not voting for Muslims or say they will not. It is because of the political system of Islam, which applied literally everywhere on planet Earth when in power, is a repressive force that reduces human freedom and opposes Western values. That would be the reason. It is not just sort of some baseline root xenophobia, like Dana Bash believes. You have to be really, really foolish to believe this.
Speaker 15Forty-five percent say they would not consider voting for a Muslim. First of all, it's just gross. Right, right. The Jewish factor, I mean, the Jewish number was. It's 20 percent. I mean, it's it's it's gross.
Speaker 1It's gross. It's just gross. Or or maybe maybe that is the considered opinion of people looking at how Islam has implemented itself around the world. Thankfully, we have complete dullers, low IQ morons like Sneeko to actually just say the quiet part out loud. He's very critical, of course, of our film. Run, hide, fight infidels is the perfect example that no matter how much money they use to spread hatred, Islam will only continue to be the world's fastest growing religion. Yeah, we know. And typically the way that it grows is through conquest. This has historically been true for Islam. OK, so now I want to get to the actual elections. So as we say, a lot of the prediction markets are suggesting the Democrats are going to blow Republicans out. And right now, in the sort of generic congressional polling, Republicans are doing quite poorly in the in the generic congressional polling. According to real clear polling, Republicans are trailing the Democrats by upwards of eight points. Those are terrible numbers. That'd be to blow. Go out for Democrats. With that said, I think that some of the stuff you're seeing in the prediction markets and some of the stuff you're seeing in the poll averages is being skewed by outliers. How do I know this? Now, I'm going to try and distinguish here between outlier polls and poll averages. So poll averages usually end up being within margin of error of the actual final outcome. However, if you have too many outlier polls in a poll average, then the polling data just ends up being off dramatically. And we have seen an enormous amount of, I would say, avalanche. You see that from these outlier polls. You're seeing a lot of catastrophic headlines right now about the twenty twenty six election. And some of this is based on things like push polling. Some of this is based on outlier polls that are now being assumed to be the reality. So, again, the poll averages right now have Republicans in poor position. But the truth is that the vast majority of races in the United States right now, particularly for the Senate, are within margin of error. Texas, a margin of error race. Michigan is a margin of error race. Iowa is a margin of error race. And it's a margin of error race. It's a margin of error race. Maine is a margin of error race. New Hampshire is a margin of error race. Alaska is margin of error. Right. So pretty much all the battlegrounds right now are margin of error. Ohio seems to have fallen outside the margin of error. But maybe not, because the last couple of polls in Ohio show Sherrod Brown maybe a three point lead over the current incumbent, John Husted. So these elections are still really close in the Senate. But when you aggregate all of the polls and you include these outliers, you end up with some pretty bad polling data. And we've seen some very, very bad polling data. And we've seen some very, very big individual polling misses, again, not poll averages, but individual polling misses. And I want to point them out because I think that what you're seeing right now is a narrative that's being created by some of these outliers. If I just told you those poll averages, that every one of those races is within margin of error, that sounds basically right. If I say Texas is within margin of error, that's uncomfortable, but that's basically right. If I say Iowa, Michigan, these are within margin. But if I tell you that there is a poll that shows Kansas within margin of error, I'm going to know on that. So the latest Emerson poll has the Kansas Democrat, Adam Hamilton, ahead of incumbent Roger Marshall in the Senate race by two points. Donald Trump won 57% of the vote in Kansas in 2024. I do not think that you're going to end up with a Kansas Democrat in that seat. That is what we call an outlier poll happening well prior to the election. Or how about South Carolina? Right now in the South Carolina polling, Darlene Graham Norton, the sister of Lincoln, the daughter of Lindsey Graham, is only ahead of the Democrat Annie Andrews by 3.5 points in the polling average. That's only because the polling average includes about two polls. Donald Trump won almost 60% of the vote in South Carolina. And Darlene Graham Norton just inherited her seat from her brother who died suddenly and was quite popular with South Carolina Republicans. No, I don't believe that we're within margin of error in South Carolina. I don't believe that we're within margin of error in Florida. Florida is my home state. Okay. I don't believe that we're within margin of error in South Carolina. Okay. Okay. the way that Barack Obama did. If Republicans do get shellacked, it will largely be due to President Trump's approval rating. Presidential approval ratings are, in fact, heavily correlated with midterm outcomes. That's a reality, more so than economic statistics. But for those who are trying to sell you the soap, that basically the president's foreign policy is to blame for all of this. That's the thing that really did all of this. There is not a lot of support in the public approval ratings to suggest that that is the thing that has been the major problematic factor for President Trump. Also, again, don't take too seriously the warnings from the media that Democrats are going to wipe out Republicans. I do think some of that is a demoralization op design to get Republicans not to show up to the polls in 2026 and turn that into a self-fulfilling prophecy. All righty. Meanwhile, in the health world, Canada has decided they're going to solve some of their health problems by just killing grandma to euthanize the old people against their will. The UK Daily Mail is now reporting that two days before her Christian grandmother's assisted dying procedure in Ontario, Canada, Brigitte Crenendonk sat her down to make sure she knew exactly what was going to happen. Quote, I use very frank terms. I said, do you know you're going to die on Friday? The 83-year-old was invisible disbelief and began crying for 45 minutes. I've made a mistake. Brigitte Stegman, known affectionately to her family as Gigi or Oma, wailed. Yet 48 hours after she wept uncontrollably at the notion of MAID, which is what they call assisted suicide up in Canada, Stegman is said to have died with her hands clasped in prayer, covered in her own blood due to a botched first attempt at connecting the IV. Crenendonk. Crenendonk. She was currently in the process of desperately appealing to the chief coroner's office in Ontario, as well as the patient's ombudsman and Belleville police in a bid to ascertain what happened the morning of July 10th at the Pearl Care Home in Conifton was legal. So prior to Stegman's death that summer, Crenendonk had been her caregiver for 12 years and her medical power of attorney for the past six. A year and a half before her death, the family made the decision to house Stegman in the Pearl as her physical and cognitive health began to deteriorate. In February, she was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer, but doctors weren't certain about whether the diagnosis meant she had six months to live or maybe up to two years. During the cognitive assessment, which she sat in on, Crenendonk claims the questions were curiously designed in that the doctor couldn't immediately verify the answers. So again, the questions should have been things like who's the prime minister or what was today's date, but instead she was asked personal questions like how many siblings she had. So there was no way for the doctors to know the answer to that. So Stegman got the answers wrong. She said she had no siblings despite having 13. The doctors asked how many were alive and Stegman answered saying, none, two are still alive. According to government guidelines, a patient must be of sound mind and have a grievous and irremediable medical condition to be eligible for assisted suicide in Canada. So pretty insane stuff. And again, this unfortunately is not rare in Canada at all. Here's a Canadian American woman named Kristen Logan, who received an assisted suicide pamphlet from the Canadian government after she was diagnosed with cancer. Here she was with Laura Ingraham.
Speaker 5So you started getting literature or getting, getting literature about that because your prognosis was supposedly so grim. I, I hadn't even seen an oncologist yet before I got that pamphlet. To be honest, I took nine months to even get to a place where I was diagnosed. And then I was told in the emergency room, Hey, it looks like you have metastatic cancer. At that point it was stage four A and as I'm waiting for even the first call from the oncology team, I get this pamphlet in the mail basically telling me that I can go and kill myself and yeah, that was, that was very disturbing. At that point you realize what a dystopian situation it is.
Speaker 1And again, that is all very good news. You can see the founders of balance of nature sitting alongside RFK jr. Right there along with her own Mary Margaret Olihan. Who's asking the questions balance of nature, by the way, fantastic product. Balance of nature is essentially taking all of the nutrients of fruits and veggies. They basically just grind up your fruits and veggies and make it possible for you to take all of those in one shot, which is really convenient for me. I'm obviously on the road right now, and that means. I'm using my balance of nature to keep healthy head on over to balance of nature.com.

And again, in other health news innovation in the United States continues to move forward. All of the rips on the American healthcare system, leave aside the fact that pretty much all medical innovation happens in the United States. According to the wall street journal and outside advisory committee to the FDA will review grails, multi-cancer early detection test grails. Galeri test leads a fast developing field of liquid biopsies that screen asymptomatic patients for signals of cancer in the blood. The goal is to diagnose cancers earlier when they're easier to treat and the odds of survival are higher. So it looks as though Galeri is working a randomized control trial conducted with UK's national health service tracked about 142,000 asymptomatic patients. Age 50 to 77 half received the Galeri test every year. The Larry caught four times as many cancers in total than the UK's four recommended screenings for colon, breast, lung, and cervical cancer, which is fantastic. That is awesome. And again, this is what happens when you have ready pools of capital to invest in medical R and D that is why private markets continue to matter. Democrats, of course, if they had the chance would essentially ban all private capital from the medical industry, which is not going to work. Here is Elizabeth Warren. It is amazing to watch as somebody who, you know, is smarter than this. Give herself a frontal lobotomy politically over the years. I've watched Elizabeth Warren do this for a decade. And here's Elizabeth Warren is saying that she's going to ban quote unquote private equity from owning your doctor. Who do you think funds things? Funding is useful because funding allows for the actual development of products, goods,
Speaker 16and services. I just introduced a bill that would ban private equity from owning your doctor. It's called the stop corporate takeovers. It's called the stop corporate takeover of physicians act because doctors should be able to do what's best for their patients, not what's best for some wealthy investor. It's about time we get corporate greed out of health care. Let's do this one.
Speaker 1Oh, my gosh. Again, the idea that corporate greed is what's driving up prices as opposed to, you know, all of the administrative burden, all the legal liability. Totally ridiculous. Totally. Even here's the thing. Physicians are skipping health insurance now because of the high prices. I mean, that. That is just a reality. Meanwhile, J.D. Vance has been pushing forward an attempt to crack down on Obamacare fraud. Here he was yesterday announcing this.
Speaker 17We are stopping Obamacare enrollment for about 750,000 people, 750,000 people who we believe are fraudulently enrolled in the program. That's number one. The second thing that we're going to do is we're going to do some additional verification. We expect that most of these people are fraudulently enrolled. But we're going to do some additional verification on about 419,000 people. We're going to make sure that they're, first of all, legal residents of the United States of America. And second of all, we're going to make sure that they actually meet the income threshold requirements in order to receive these Obamacare benefits. To put into context the amount of money that we're stopping from going to fraudsters today, $2.2 billion, the average American child receives about $4,000 in health care benefits every single year. That means that we are saving $5.5 billion. That's $550,000 American children's worth of health care that was going to fraudsters and now will go to the essential services for which it was meant to go.
Speaker 1Okay, again, this is good stuff, cracking down on fraud. Again, what he's cracking down on are illegal immigrants who are getting Obamacare, as well as people who are above income thresholds who are getting Obamacare. If you're in favor of even government-subsidized health care at this point, you should be in favor of cracking down on waste and fraud and abuse and all the rest. Okay, in just a second, we are going to get to how Democrats. Democrats are solving public policy issues, namely extremely expensive toilets. Very, very expensive toilets, which I think is a great. Honestly, it's a great metaphor for Democratic Party policy is very expensive toilets. First, you have to become a Daily Wire member. Now, we've got awesome stuff, right? We've got awesome stuff.

Speaker 16Every significant movement in history has started with protesting. You're a traitor. Uncle Tom. This is our generation. This is civil rights.
Speaker 1I have no idea what the protest is about.
Speaker 17Bingo. Given the current climate, should a figure as polarizing as Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus?
Speaker 18Uh, can you hear me okay? Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman. This is a decision I cannot fight. Islam will conquer the West. As-salamu alaykum. Are we paying attention?
Speaker 16They've taken over the building. They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors.
Speaker 18I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty. We cannot run and hide. Muhammad is the messenger of God. There is no God but Allah. What do you say we turn those SOBs into a fine red mist? As we move, one man will cover while the other guys go. They call that leapfrogging. Stretch them out and listen. You need a course in safe weapons handling.
