Speaker 1We did just lose six flags. So I think that this would be a great site to bring some like Urban Air Park or American Dream type facility, you know, just something that's bigger and broader and can serve all the residents of Prince George's County and not just benefit the ones that can get a job at a data center.
Speaker 2So that person is a person named, let me get this right, Taylor McCollum. And this person represents the modern left, not Abdulrahman El-Sayed, not AOC, that person. That person is a homeless, jobless person who just personally stopped the building of a data center and stopped the creation of jobs and stopped economic development because she says that data centers produce diesel. And her proposal is that they build a trampoline park instead, a trampoline park. Yes, folks, America is only getting dumber and also poorer. You know, the GOP is feeling pretty crummy about things after the midterms. Yeah, because we should. I mean, it really, really was quite bad. But I have been saying there is optimism on the way Democrats are going to jump on the rigs. It will happen. You're not going to have to wait long. I'm going to get into all that in just a moment. First, I want to remind you that last night we here at Daily Wire premiered our brand new film Confession. I could not be prouder of this film or that we here at Daily Wire produced it. This is the film starring Rob Lowe and James Franco and Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte. Directed by Baslav Marhul. It is an amazing, amazing film. I told you about some of the reviews of the film yesterday, but I did want to take a couple of minutes and read you the Free Press's review of Confession written by Rod Dreher. It's an honor to ever receive a review like this. The title of the review is Confession is a Masterpiece. And here is what Rod writes, quote. How does a man follow Alexander Solzhenitsyn's directive to live not by lies when a lie could save his life? Once he has. soiled his soul with lies, can it ever be made clean? And the most difficult question of all, the one at the heart of Ben Shapiro's extraordinary new film and screenwriting debut Confession. In a world without God, why suffer for the truth if a lie can free you and your loved ones from tormentors too powerful to defeat physically? Though Fyodor Dostoevsky died in 1881, we are in the world the great novelist foresaw with nightmare clarity. The one Solzhenitsyn faced down in the 20th century with so much courage and that confession conjures for the 21st, which needs the reminder. So as we've talked about, the plot of the movie revolves around Rob's character named Alexei, who is a former Russian literature professor, become a drunk and itinerant NKVD, that's a KGB informer. And he's brought in to inform on his priest, who they believe has been writing dissident pamphlets. A man who interrogates him, James Franco, his character, Vladimir, is his former top student. So Rod writes, The coolly sadistic Vladimir tries to goad his old professor into making a confession, a statement that will give the NKVD the grounds to arrest the priest. But Stalin's secret police never needed a legal warrant to take anybody into custody and put a bullet in their brains. We soon see that the demand for a confession is a psychological scalpel slicing through Alexei Abramov's spiritual scar tissue to reveal a cancer eating at his own soul. As Russian-American historian Yuri Slezkin explains, the Bolsheviks were an apocalyptic millenarian political cult who saw the Soviet Union as a utopian project. They fervently believed that any lies, crimes, or murders committed in the Soviet were justified by communist idealism, hell-bent on a better, more just world. Viewers of Confession do not need to know Pushkin, who's quoted in the film, to grasp that by quoting a great Russian poet to undermine a desperate literature professor, the devilish Vladimir is quoting scripture, so to speak, for his own purposes. But Shapiro's screen drama speaks to an ever-present temptation to believe in Plato's noble lie, a myth that provides the polity with stability, harmony, and other civic virtues. But here's the startling thing. Toward the end, Confession takes a jaw-dropping Christian turn that is in no way tacked on or gratuitous, says Rodrer, but that flows naturally from everything that preceded it during Abramov's interrogation. No spoilers here, but Confession ends as one of the most profoundly Christian films I've ever seen, one that knits truth-telling redemption, suffering, and sacrifice as tightly and piercingly as vines twisted into a crown of thorns. As the final credits rolled, I was near tears, thinking that I had for the first time seen in a film drama the stories and lessons I heard while researching my non-fiction book, Live Not By Lies, from the mouths of my friends and family. Christians who had stayed behind the Iron Curtain to bear witness to Christ and to truth in the face of Leviathan. So many books have been written, says Rod, about the evils of communism, but very few dramatic films and television shows have made the attempt. Now Ben Shapiro and his team have given an America whose youth are falling in love with the noble lie of Marxism a great and important gift, one by no means for Christians alone, but for all who care to live not by lies, no matter the cost. I mean, honestly, honored to receive a review like that for anyone, for anyone, let alone a first-time produced screenwriter like me. But again, our entire team deserves enormous credit for putting this out. We made Confession because the world needs this film. It does. It's actually an important film. It's not just great. It's not just, I think, riveting. It kind of draws you in with a magnetic pull. But this is an important film. The world needs a reminder of what tyranny actually looks like and what it feels like on a visceral level, how it operates and how it thinks. But the world needs something else. It also needs a reminder of what heroism looks like and what heroism means. So I want to thank you again, our members, for helping us make it. You're all unlisted producers on the film because our members help us, you know, actually pay for making this kind of stuff. If you haven't seen Confession yet, now is the time to check it out. If you haven't subscribed yet, now is the time to join the fight. Why is that fight important? Well, there are a lot of reasons. And we're not on the verge of Soviet Russia, but we certainly are on the verge of something quite bad. Democrats will go radical. They already are going radical, as I mentioned right at the top. Democrats are going to drive the economy into the ground. They will go radical. They will not be able to stop themselves. It's Bernie Sanders's party. You can cry if you want to. Now, again, Chuck Schumer will likely end up as the Senate majority leader because, you know, he still has all the sway with the senators who matter. But Bernie is the heart and soul or the heartless and soulless part of the party. He is opposing, by the way, Chuck Schumer, the current Senate minority leader. He says he's instead going to support the benighted dullard Chris Van Hollen, Senator from Maryland, who is legitimately one of the dumber people in American politics. You may remember Chris Van Hollen from such films as I'm Going Down to El Salvador to Pose with a Domestic Abuser. Bernie thinks he'll be great.
Speaker 3People are sick and tired of the status quo. We cannot have leadership in the Democratic Party. We're going to do the same old, same old. We need to stand up for working families, take on the big money interest and improve life for ordinary people. So that is what I think we have got to do. Yes, you have. You have their names. Chris Van Hollen is one guy who has indicated he might be interested in running for leader. If he chooses to do that, I will support him.
Speaker 2Again, the idea here is not that Chris Van Hollen will win. The idea is that Bernie can exert pressure. That's the whole purpose. Exert pressure on the Democratic Party to move even further to the left. Politico sort of points this out. They say progressive lawmakers and activists are hoping to harness momentum from last week's sweeping Democratic victories to install inspiring new congressional leaders. Many have looked at the Senate. And found their guy, a 67-year-old father of three from an affluent Washington suburb, who has held public office continuously since 1991. Over the past two years, he has emerged as an increasingly strident critic of the Democratic Party establishment and its approach to President Trump, as well as its positions on populist economic policies and, wait for it, the U.S. relationship with Israel and members of the party's left flank have noticed. Again, they will not stop with the radicalism. They won't. They're not going to. And Chris Van Hollen is a dolt who accused Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democratic campaign arm of, quote, having sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC. Yes, Chuck Schumer, notorious AIPAC devotee. We'll get to more on this in a moment. First, let's talk about great pricing. So there's a lot out there that's just too expensive, right? I mean, this is one of the big complaints, cost of living. Well, if you're worried about your own personal cost of living, I do have to ask you why you are spending so much on your cell phone coverage. I mean, I know the answer. You went into one of those stores and somebody sold you a very expensive plan because you just wanted unlimited. That's all you wanted. Just the unlimited. Don't want to hear about it. Give it to them. Don't give it to me. And now you're paying like three times more than you should. Well, this is why you need to check out Pure Talk. Pure Talk has decided to extend its unlimited for life offer for a little longer. Unlimited talk, text and data for just $29.95 a month for life. This is their top tier unlimited plan. It was normally $65 a month. Now you can lock in the lower rate and save more than 50% every single month. No contract, no cancellation fees. So if you're not getting great coverage, great customer service and great pricing, maybe it's time to find out what you're making. Make the switch in as little as 10 minutes. Again, that's puretalk.com slash Shapiro for unlimited data for life with Pure Talk. Tax and fees not included. Some restrictions apply. See puretalk.com for details. Okay, but again, all of the radicalism is coming back and it's coming back with a vengeance. We're going to get the dumbest form of our politics and it will lead to an economic downturn. Remember Sarah McBride? Nay, Tim McBride, who is like an actual man who Sarah McBride, the representative from Delaware is back saying, quote, anti-trans politics was a flop at this election. The American people are tired of a politics of cruelty that does nothing to lower the cost or address corruption. And so all the trans radicalism, it will come back. They're lying about it now. Now they're saying we're not going to do culture war. It will all come back with a vengeance. Hassan Piker, he's out there again, trying to pull Hakeem Jeffries his way. The goal is not to supplant Hakeem Jeffries, but to provide pressure on the new speaker of the house to move him to the left. That's what Hassan Piker is going to do.
Speaker 4There is no replacement of Hakeem Jeffries. There's no replacement candidate of Akeem Jeffries that isn't black, okay? It has to be, you cannot choose to undermine the first Speaker of the House that will be black with someone who's not, okay? It's just politics, representational politics of this sort obviously matters, okay?
Speaker 2It does. Okay, and then he suggested that Ayanna Pressley, again, a member of the squad, actually supplant perhaps Akeem Jeffries. He also says the goal is to get more partisan, not less. And remember, Assange Piker is still a charter member of the Democratic Party. He claims that he's opposed to them, but they're all campaigning with him.
Speaker 4Pre-Trump Republican Party is what delivered Donald Trump, okay? Again, everyone get more partisan now, okay? That's my only expectation from Democrats. That's my only expectation from centrists. If you are a centrist, if you're center right in the Democratic Party, and you can't behave in a partisan fashion, then what good are you? Then you might as well cross over and come out as a Republican, okay? That's it. It's the bare minimum expectation from people like myself, people on the left. Our expectation is you caucus with the Democrats, and you show at least a fraction of the disdain that your voters have for not just MAGA, not just Trumpism, but the Republican Party broadly.
Speaker 2Again, they won't be. They're not going to be. They're not going to be able to stop themselves. They won't. AOC is out there already saying that Democrats are not going to just try to impeach Pete Hegzeth or President Trump. They're going to go after Supreme Court justices on the basis of literally nothing. On the basis of nothing. This is where Democrats are going to try to go. This is where the hard left will try to force them.
Speaker 5How high do you go? Do you go after Trump? I mean, do you try to impeach Trump? I mean, I think we should leave all options on the table. Absolutely. I mean, of course, this Supreme Court, as well, has also kind of legalized a lot of this criminality, and they're pointing at impeachment. Impeachment in this Republican majority at that time was pointing at the Supreme Court. So we'll see. We'll approach it. But I think all options are on the table.
Speaker 2All options are on the table to impeach members of the Supreme Court. They won't be able to stop themselves. And again, all of those issues that you thought were dead and buried, they're coming right back. John Kerry, who still haunts our politics like a ghoul, long beyond his sell-by date. He's out there at the UN. saying that what the midterms proved is that we need to do climate change again.
Speaker 6This, I promise you, is a transition that the world wants. And no greater manifestation of that can be seen than the fact that one week ago today, in the United States, people made climate change and its exigencies a voting issue.
Speaker 2And by the way, make no mistake, the global economy is a voting issue. The global left understands what the climate change call is all about. And what that's about is destroying free markets. Here, for example, is climate activist Leon Seeley-Huggins saying this is all about redistribution of wealth and power.
Speaker 7At the same time, the UK is continuing to drill for oil and gas. It's basically supporting these carbon bomb projects like the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields. The latter, which is potentially set to be approved shortly, would blow our climate targets out of the water and it would produce more CO2 than it would produce in the future. than the world's lowest 28 lowest income countries combined. And these projects are all funded, financed and insured through the City of London. So the money is there. It's there in the 17 billion pounds worth of tax breaks that are going to projects like North Sea oil and gas. So yeah, we don't have to choose between the North and the South, the rich and the poor. This isn't about charity. This is about justice. It's about responsibility and it's about redistribution of wealth and power. So if we're serious about calling this an implementation cop, then let's see some implementation.
Speaker 2And again, this is where the left is going on a global level and also on a domestic level. And this brings us back to that not particularly intelligent person who almost apparently single-handedly, I mean, with the help of Neville Roy Singham and a bunch of foreign funding, stopped dead a data center that was going to be built in a parking lot. And we talked about that story on yesterday's show and it is just indicative of where we are going. Foolish people making dumb decisions to destroy their own economic future on the basis of the fact that on the basis of propaganda about how evil economic growth is. That is where they are going. So this brings us back to this data center insanity. The data center insanity, the attempt to shut down AI data centers on the basis of a bunch of scary tactics about the environment that aren't true, on the basis that they're generating diesel or that we need to build a trampoline park. This sort of stuff, unfortunately, has a wide populist appeal. Josh Hawley, a senator from Missouri, the Republican, he is now attempting to push a moratorium on data centers across the country, like nationally. And I see what people are doing here. I do. I see what politicos are doing. But I just have to say, it is the job of leaders to lead and buying into misinformation and promoting that misinformation and driving people toward a version of life in which the government gets to decide whether we economically prosper or not. This is a bad way to go. Do not follow the dummies. Don't do it. If there is a person who is standing in front of an empty parking lot, telling you that in order to stop diesel production, we must not build this data center, and instead we must, must, must have a local trampoline park, don't do it. Don't do it, America. Unfortunately, unfortunately, it seems as though we are moving in the wrong direction on a lot of this and missing the point in the process. So this brings us to one of the big controversies of yesterday. We'll get to more on this in just a moment. First, let's talk about your health. So this has been an extraordinarily tiring week. I mean, there's a lot going on out here. Really? At least a movie. There was an election last week. A lot going on. Not getting the sleep I should. Well, that means that I need to be healthy. And the only way that I can think of to keep myself healthy is that balance of nature. I like their whole health system. It brings together fruits, veggies, fiber, spices in a way that's incredibly easy to incorporate into my day. I don't have to rethink my entire routine. It's just a part of it. And frankly, when you have five kids and a demanding schedule and you're releasing a film you wrote and like a thousand things happening, simplicity is worth a lot. If you've been thinking about trying balance of nature, here's a good reason to finally do it. Head on over to balanceofnature.com and subscribe to the whole health system. Use promo code Shapiro for 35% off your first subscription order. Again, there is a simplicity to balance of nature. It's one of the reasons you should use it because let's be real. You'll go to the grocery. You'll pick up a bunch of fruits and veggies. You'll tell yourself you're going to make yourself a smoothie every day. You're not going to do any of that. You're just going to throw it all away. Instead, why not try balanceofnature.com? Get 35% off your first subscription order at balanceofnature.com with code Shapiro. So yesterday, the secretary of defense who's been under a lot of pressure and under a lot of fire, he survived an impeachment attempt by Thomas Massey. Of course, that's not much since Massey's on his way up. But Pete Hegseth went to Arlington Cemetery and there he visited the tomb of the unknown soldier. This made all of the rounds. The media were all over this because Pete Hegseth, unclear whether it's him or whether it's members of his team, they were making too much noise while they were taking pictures outside the tomb of the unknown soldier. And this prompted the soldier who's in charge of guarding the place to issue a decorum a decorum warning. Now, this does happen, I'd say two to three times every day, something like that. People making too much noise, disturbing the situation around the tomb of the unknown soldier. Here's what that sounded like. You can see in the foreground Hegseth and his wife and some other members of his team taking pictures, some people talking kind of loudly or somebody laughing pretty loudly.
Speaker 8We'll maintain atmosphere of silence and respect at all times. And now, again,
Speaker 2it is literally the job of that soldier to say all of that. Now, the media went nuts. How dare, how dare Hegseth disrespect the tomb of the unknown soldier that way? Now, again, it doesn't sound like it was Hegseth, but there are people who are around him who are laughing, who are acting inappropriately enough that they get the lecture from the soldier. However, I'm not going to hear this. I'm not going to hear this from a party that continues to massage Zoran Mamdani. I'm not sure, but there is much more in life that is more insulting than Zoran Mamdani. A man who literally said on 9-11 that we must mourn the hundreds of thousands of people wounded by the evil American military, essentially, pretend that he gives a crap about our veterans. I'm sorry. It doesn't wash. It doesn't wash in the slightest. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous on its face. He showed up at a Veterans Day memorial and he put out a tweet and here's what his tweet says. Again, I don't want to hear from the left. I just don't on this. This Veterans Day, let us renew our commitment to those who served by confronting the injustices too many veterans still face from homelessness and isolation to the threat of deportation. Our responsibility to those who serve does not end when they come home. So in other words, we're not just going to pay tribute and say thank you to our veterans. We are going to make a case against ICE. That is how he decides to celebrate or to commemorate. Veterans Day to thank people for their service. That's how. And this is the party of Adam Hamawi, a congressman who is legitimately pro-terrorism. I'm not willing to hear their critiques of Pete Hegseth somehow being too disrespectful. Again, I don't think that it's appropriate to laugh near the tomb of the unknown soldier. I also think that this is the part of the Democrats who are doing the critique. Those are Democrats who just elected to Congress a, an advocate for the blind sheikh, an actual terrorist. who bombed the World Trade Center in 93. I mean, here he was on CNN literally two days ago saying that Iran was not an adversary and claiming that America kills Iranians.
Speaker 9Do you see Iran as the adversary and Israel as an ally to the U.S.? Well, now what I see is that we were pushed into this war by Israel. It's not helping Americans. Americans didn't ask for it. It's illegal. It's immoral. And at this point, I think the United States and the Iranians want this war to end. Do you see Iran as the adversary? I see we pushed them into a fight, and so I think we both have to step back and say, is this helping either one of us? But are they the adversary? We're making adversaries when we should be making friends. They've been saying death to America for decades. We've been saying death to Iran for decades as well. And so what we need to do is use diplomacy. They've killed a lot of Americans.
Speaker 2And we've killed a lot of them as well. What in the world? What in the world? So when I hear Democrats try to, you know, go after the patriotism of Republicans, I'm, no, the answer there is gonna, that's a big no from me, dog. I'm not gonna, no. The answer, again, when I say the Democrats will not be able to abandon their radicals, they're just going to hug them tighter. That is obviously true. By the way, Ilhan Omar, who probably should be stripped of her citizenship and deported, she wants back on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. She also wants a spot on the Appropriations Panel. She wants some of the most important, slots in Congress. Well done, American people. Thank you for turning her to a congressional majority. She said of foreign affairs, that is my favorite committee. Yeah, I'm sure it is, where she gets to get access to all sorts of classified material. I can't see any risk there. Meanwhile, again, the radicalism of Democrats is, it is unparalleled. The Daily Wire has an extraordinary report about an illegal immigrant who tried to hijack, allegedly, a United Airlines flight this week. Apparently, he was allowed to stay in the United States after two deportations by claiming to be transgender. This is how Democrats run the country. According to the Daily Wire, Honduran man, Rony Alexander Gomez Alberto, said he had a bomb when he tried to storm the cockpit of United Flight 2174, which departed from Newark to New Orleans on Monday night. It was later revealed he crossed the southern border illegally once in 2011 and again in 2014. He was removed from the U.S. each time. And then, he made a third successful attempt to enter the country. On his third attempt to enter, which occurred at the Port of Entry in San Ysidro, California in 2019, he claimed to have a fear of returning to his home country and was allowed to argue his case before a judge. That case centered around his claim of being transgender. He was granted asylum in 2020 based on his claim of being persecuted for being transgender. Whoever was the person who allowed that to happen should be summarily fired by the administration. I mean, my goodness. But don't worry, that'll be de rigueur policy as it was under Joe Biden again. We'll be right back. Back there. Meanwhile, there's apparently a new migrant caravan that's been starting up from down south, up toward the American border. Tom Holman, the borders are, he says President Trump will still close the border. Again, one of the benefits of Trump still being the president here.
Speaker 10We call it the Biden effect. The caravan started, they all started in this. I knew if the Democrats could control the Congress, this would happen. However, President Trump's in the Oval Office. He will secure that border and continue to secure that border. They're not going to be released. The Democrats can't change the fact the executive branch will continue to enforce law. Look, elections don't change laws. The same laws we've been enforced in the last two years, we're going to enforce for the next two years and they can't stop that.
Speaker 2I mean, thank God for that. But, you know, if you're a Democratic governor, then you can take advantage of illegal labor. Joining us online to discuss that is Chris Rufo who has a brand new report on Governor Gavin Newsom and his winery. Chris is a senior fellow at Manhattan Institute and very few people in America are doing more to uncover, you know, actual corruption, actual abuse of power than Chris. Chris, thanks so much for taking the time. Really appreciate it. I appreciate it. It's great to be with you. So you have yet another devastating story for Gavin Newsom and an endless series of devastating stories for Gavin Newsom. The good news for you, Chris, is that you seem to have found the richest vein to mine here in Gavin Newsom as a human being and as a governor. So why don't you tell us a little bit about your latest scoop here?
Speaker 11Yeah, so the latest story is we sent our reporting team out to Napa Valley and we spent a number of weeks investigating Gavin Newsom's wine empire. And we discovered through both the reporting, documents, contextual information, that the Newsom operation was really being, making money by employing illegal labor. And after spending a number of nights out in the fields in the Newsom vineyard, we actually obtained a whistleblower, someone who's worked for the vineyard management company for 10 years, himself an illegal alien, who really gave us that smoking gun and said, about 80% of the people who pick Gavin Newsom's grapes are illegal aliens working against the law. And they pick these grapes for wine that Gavin Newsom then sells for up to $7,000 a bottle. This is the kind of scheme that he's running. He's doing it brazenly as the governor of one of the most powerful states in the country.
Speaker 2So Chris, I do have to ask, how much do you think this sort of thing will actually damage Gavin Newsom among Democrats, right? The thing he's looking for here is a Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2028, given the pretty egregiously bad results in the midterm elections. That nomination on the Democratic side is gonna be hotly contested. It's extraordinarily, really valuable right now. The prediction markets for what they're worth, and they were pretty accurate last time, are saying the Democrats have about a two-to-one shot to take the presidency in 2028. Does it really hurt Democrats in a primary to be employing illegal immigrants at scale?
Speaker 11Yeah, I mean, it's really an interesting thing because if you go back to the 80s, 90s, even early 2000s, these were career-ending scandals. And for someone like Gavin Newsom, as you're suggesting, it's really just another Wednesday. And in fact, it might help boost his popularity with Democrats who seem to wanna bring in everyone from every corner of the country to every corner of the earth. But here's the twist. If he makes it through that primary, these kind of stories, I think, are gonna really damage him in that general election. And the wild card is that Trump administration, I hear this story is circulating through the highest levels of the White House, the highest levels of DHS. And so the Trump administration could open an investigation. It could lead to legal trouble for Newsom himself. And he's already embroiled in a number of federal investigations. So I think time will tell, but what we know for sure, is that Gavin Newsom is doing something that in the past, again, would be career-ending. And I think most Americans agree that it's wrong.
Speaker 2Yeah, so Chris, I mean, this does bring us to sort of broader questions about the American electorate and the coalition for Republicans going forward. So there's been a lot of focus. You've talked about it. I've talked about it, about the young male vote moving away from President Trump in 2024 and toward the Democrats in 2026. But one of the big, big moves that actually happened here was a reversion back toward the mean in terms of the Hispanic vote. President Trump won something like 48%. And I think that the reversion of the Hispanic vote in 2024, Republicans got absolutely hammered with Hispanic voters in this last election cycle. How much of that do you think is connected to immigration policy? How much of it is just connected to broader cost of living concerns? What do you see as a way for Republicans to make inroads? I know there's some people who are saying, just abandon it, let it go. That seems like a foolish strategy given the way Texas just went.
Speaker 11Yeah, look, I think most of it was the cost of living, the economy, feeling a sense of stakes and the American dream. But even on immigration, I think there's a wrinkle that we have to really, tease apart here. Latinos in 2024, especially supported President Trump to shut down the border, to limit the flow of illegal aliens, to remigrate a number of people, especially those criminal illegal aliens. But Latinos, like many other groups, they want to see it done quietly, silently, subtly. And what happened is that the Trump administration, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, sent in these militarized units into these blue cities causing chaos. And I think there's a lot of people and I think there's a better way. You actually have to use the financial system, banking, taxing remittances, creating the incentives for people to self-deport who just came over here in the last couple of years, rather than going in with the, you know, the trench coats and the goons riding on military vehicles. That's not going to work. People want something done. They don't want to see how it's done. And so I think this was mostly an implementation problem, not a problem with the policy as a whole.
Speaker 2You know, Chris, I think that's true for nearly everything that Trump had done. The Trump administration has done. I said on the show the day after the election that I probably agree with 80% of the policies of the Trump administration. And I probably disagree with 90% of the implementation of Trump's policy. And that holds true for me on everything from his policing of illegal immigration to the Iran war, where I actually agree with the original motivation of the Iran war and the original action of the Iran war. And then you get an eight month delay and we're still here and the prices are up. And I think that's true with regard to tariffs, where, you know, if the president had approached tariffs in a more, I would say, targeted way, as opposed to what if I go out there and say, I'm going to go up here with a poster board and then, you know, tax penguins in the Solomon Islands. There's just a lot of that. Do you see any move by the Trump administration toward a more moderated version of the implementation of their executive policy, which is all they're left with here? I mean, there will be no legislative policy for the next two years. That is gone. Democrats will prevent it. Do you think that the administration, again, under Stephen Miller now, will be more effective in how it rolls out policy? Or is it going to be kind of more of the government by chaos we've seen for the past couple of years?
Speaker 11Look, I mean, Trump has been on the national scene for 10 years. It's government by chaos. It's baked into his deepest personality. He's now an octogenarian. And so I think we're going to get more of the same from Trump. But the more interesting question is what happens next? And I talked to a lot of people from donors to activists to rank and file voters this past week, and people seem to be hungering for the return of the statesman, someone who can lay out a positive vision and someone who can manage the institutions with a feeling of competence, authority, and responsibility. So I think there's room for a statesman-like figure to emerge. And look, Trump opened up the debate. He revealed a lot of rot in the country and even in the party. But I think from this point forward, we really have to look to that next leader. I don't know who that might be. There's a lot of maneuvering. But I think voters are looking for something better. And competent administration is not only a winner politically, but I think would have solved a lot of these issues that we've seen in the past year.
Speaker 2Now, to flip back to the other side of the aisle, obviously, you've been investigating Newsom. Newsom was at one point the front runner for the nomination. He now seems to have dropped down somewhere in the pack, largely probably because of all of the things you've been investigating, but also because of the fact that he has a Clintonian affect to him. He seems to take any different policy on any on any given day. When you look at how the Democrats are likely to move in 2028, I will give them credit for cleverness. I don't think they're actually going to run somebody like AOC. I think there's a reason they're throwing John Ossoff out there right now. I wouldn't be surprised if they give a second look at somebody like a Wes Moore. You know what? What do you think the Democrats are going to do in 2028? Because it seems to me that given the dynamics and given the fact that right now, if the Democrats were to crater the economy or if the economy were to crater on its own, pretty much all that blame would fall on the Republicans. It's a heavy lift for Republicans come 28.
Speaker 11Yeah, I think of our politics right now as kind of a large scale version of the old marshmallow test in psychology experiments, where the only person that is going to win in the end is the person that has a sufficient amount of self-control and doesn't lean into the idiotic memes, the idiotic policies, the kind of temper tantrums. And so we have this problem on both sides, to be fair. And so I think the party that has the self-discipline mess on messaging, on policy, on implementation is going to be the party that people gravitate towards. And if our economy, you know, goes into a recession, if the war becomes a longer term entanglement, people are going to feel a sense of frustration and the person who can successfully channel that frustration in a positive direction, give people a sense of stability again, I think they'll win. So I don't know if it's Gavin Newsom. I don't know if it's Rubio or Vance or DeSantis, but that seems to be where the contest is lying. And whoever doesn't pick the marshmallow off the plate ultimately wins.
Speaker 2Now, it's Chris Ruffo over at Manhattan Institute. He's doing amazing investigative work with his team as well. Chris, thanks so much for the time. Thanks, Ben. We'll get to more on this in just one second. As I said, this has been a very stressful week. A lot going on. Most of it good this week. Last week was kind of bad. My kids are getting me up really early. When I'm on the mattress, I need to sleep. This is why I rely on my Helix sleep mattress. It was made just for me, which means that when I get on it, I sleep better. I know. Simple, right? Then why don't you just go do it? Helix has more than 20 mattress models. They have a two-minute sleep quiz, and it considers your sleep position, comfort preferences, and support needs, and then matches you with the right one. Every Helix ships free in the U.S. and includes the Happy with Helix guarantee and a $360 night sleep trial. That's an entire year to sleep on the mattress at home and make sure it's right for you. Head on over to helixsleep.com slash Ben for up to 30% off during Helix's Black Friday sale. Again, that's helixsleep.com slash Ben for up to 30% off helixsleep.com slash Ben. Your sleep quality, I know you don't think about it all that much. You just kind of try and get through the day. Don't do that. Instead, go get a better mattress for yourself right now. There's a reason they give that 365 night sleep trial. They know you're not going to return it. Go to helixsleep.com slash Ben and get up to 30% off during their Black Friday sale. So given the fact that the Democrats continue to move in radical directions, truly radical directions, we do have to ask the question, why in the world, particularly for young men, did they move? Did young men move toward the Democrats in this last election cycle? I know there's a lot of speculation about why. I will say that I think one of the big reasons is because young men who listen to the Joe Rogans of the world or the Theo Vons of the world or members of Podcastistan spend an awful lot of time buying into the idea that there are vague specious and terrible conspiracies around every corner that are driving them into the ground. Now, this has become evident in the online space thanks to these Anakin Skywalker memes. So there are all these memes of Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars prequels in which basically it's about how you as a young male became radicalized. Just an example here. It's a picture of Luke Skywalker from the original trilogy is from Return of the Jedi, where it says the average boomer got a job with no experience, retired to a private island, used to pass wisdom on to the next generation, which is, you know, a funny description of Luke Skywalker and then average zoomer, meaning like 19 year old man, best employee, still not granted a promotion. Boss is 900 years old and won't retire. And this is why you're radicalized. This is why you're turning to the dark side. It's because life is just so tough because no one has ever experienced things like it. First of all, the idea that zoomers are the best employees. I think we can have some arguments about that one. OK, but this is being promoted each and every day by people who are in the business of telling young men that they're angry feelings about the world. And again, angry young men has been a phrase for a very long time because literally the history of Earth is filled with angry young men. But angry young men are providing an entire line of income for a podcast to stand. All you have to do is tell them that everything that they say is justified, that all of their feelings are justified. Now, here is what responsible people in the world do. Here's what mentally healthy people in the world do. You examine whether your feelings are truly justified, whether there is a specific thing that can be fixed that will alleviate the problem that you have. And if you are a good friend to somebody and that person is experiencing, for example, depression and despair, the first thing you have to do is engage in a form of what's called cognitive behavioral therapy, where you examine whether the feelings are themselves justified. It is an aspect of progressive therapy to say that all of your feelings are inherently justified. But podcast to stand runs on this feeling podcast to stand is powered by this idea that popularity because listen, you'll be a lot more popular if you tell people all their feelings are justified. And yeah, it's that guy over there. And if you say, hey, man, let's examine your actual life path here. Let's let's take a look at your finances. Let's figure out whether you're as poor as you think you are or whether you can make a different decision that changes your life. If you say that sort of stuff and your school marming people, then you're like their their mean dad. No, no, no. Better to be one of the people who makes bank off of telling young men that really their lives are the worst. Now, this is the equivalent, I will say for young men, this is the equivalent of sort of Instagram. Modeling for young women. There's been a lot of talk over the past 10 years or so about the terrible impacts on teenage girls and young women of social media because they look at pictures, airbrush pictures on social media or Photoshop pictures on social media or AI pictures on social media that show lifestyles that are unrealistic, body types that are unrealistic. And then women start copying them. Young girls start copying them. They feel inferior and suddenly they have complexes. The equivalent of that for young men is listening to a bunch of podcasts. Adults who walk around telling you that under no circumstances can you succeed in the freest country in the history of the world, the most financially successful country in the history of the world. I bring this up because yesterday there was a clip that went viral of a person who was formerly a comedian who's not told a joke in some years named Dave Smith, a hoodie devotee named Dave Smith, who was on with a person named Jack Neal explaining that young men have it so hard in America. So, so, so hard in America. Not Dave Smith, of course, he makes a very good living going around to various podcasts and, and talking about how, how terrible America is and has been. But if you're not Dave Smith and you're young, then you have a really rough time. I mean, so rough that you actually have to, according to Dave Smith, make a million dollars a year to live a middle-class lifestyle.
Speaker 12One of the things that happens under these, the corrupt economic system we have where everything is rigged on behalf of big business is that you do now the leftists analyze this in their own way that I think is kind of flawed, but you do have this kind of stratification. Between the rich and the poor or between the, with the middle class evaporating more and more, right? Like you can see that as well when it becomes a thing where like, oh, you got to kind of make a million dollars a year to live kind of a middle-class lifestyle. Well, what does that mean? It just means the middle class is shrinking more and more and more. And all these people who used to be middle-class are now something below that. They're not, you know, like, well, you just said the average person can't afford the house. They're living in that person isn't middle-class anymore. So you have this kind of stratification.
Speaker 2Okay. Well, I'm no, you actually do not need to earn a living. You can't earn a million dollars to earn middle-class living. And actually the, the so-called stratification he's talking about, statistically speaking, is that over time, the middle-class in the United States, the vast majority of people who used to be middle-class are now upper middle-class. So you've seen an increase in income for the vast majority of people who used to be considered middle-class, but again, just on a basic level, the idea that you can't afford to live a nice lifestyle on a million dollars a year. So the typical rule of thumb financially is don't spend more than 30% of your pre-tax income on housing. If you make a million dollars a year, that's $300,000 a year on your housing. Now in large swaths of the country, you can buy a house, all cash, like the whole house for $300,000 a year. That's still possible in a lot of States in the middle of the country, but take yourself to Manhattan. This would mean that you could afford an apartment for $25,000 a month. The average rent in Manhattan, the most expensive place in America is about 6,500 bucks a month. So $25,000 a month. We'll get you a really, really, really nice place. A million bucks is a lot of money. It's a lot of money. It still is. Okay. Like, and again, this kind of is reminiscent of the $22 burrito debate, which broke down into the dumbest way. No one is arguing that it's easy for people to make all their bills. That's true. Again, we have to be realistic about the challenges people face. Yes. Inflation means things are more expensive and yes, over the past year and a half wages have not kept up with inflation. That's a real problem. We can talk about the ways to solve it, but one of the things that is disheartening is when you don't talk about specific problems with specific solutions. Instead, you say, no matter what you do, you can't get ahead. Even if you make a million dollars a year, you're still going to be living in poverty. Don't set up outsized expectations that are stupid because then everyone is disappointed. In the same way that looking at photoshopped lifestyles on a luxury liner isn't reality. This is not reality. Your life doesn't get better by listening to a bunch of demoralizing horseshit from people who make a living is spouting it. It's silly. It's truly, truly silly. And now none of this means the price of housing hasn't risen. Again, this is the game. This is the game. You say one true thing and one false thing. You'll say, you know what? It's pretty hard right now for a lot of young men. True. And then you say, you can't even make a living if you're making a million dollars a year. False. So I say, that second thing you said is wrong. And they say, no, no, no, no. You're just saying that everyone can afford everything. No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying you're setting out outsized expectations that cannot be met by anyone in reality. It's not real. It is not real. Again, if you live in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, Washington state, you might keep 620 grand after federal taxes. If you live in California, after federal and state, it's like 510 grand. Well, about $3 million, right? Like that, which is a very expensive house, will buy you a mansion in most places in the country. Again, if you do the normal calculation for how much you should be paying in mortgage, the reality is that you can afford a lot of house for a million dollars in gross income a year. Now, again, I think a lot of the media are complicit in this. I think that there is an attempt right now to drive up outsized expectations. So for example, the Washington, it's not just podcast to stand. It's also the legacy media. So the Washington Post put out a piece titled the job market is tough for young people. Older workers are thriving quote since chat GPT debuted in late 2022 employment for Americans, 30 or younger has dropped in a collection of office. Jobs such as software development, sales and accounting that are considered highly exposed to AI because tasks can be done more efficiently with the technology. According to a Washington Post analysis of data from Stanford university and the payroll from ADP for people 35 and older employment has climbed more than 7% in those same occupations. Now, again, I just want to look at the data because the data are interesting. Two things can be true at once. Here's the deal. Literally always 22 year olds have a harder time finding a good job than 32 year olds. Usually because a 32 year old has gone through 10 years, trying to find a job, right? That, that is why. So again, the Washington Post noting that it's easier right now for a 32 year old to find a job than a 22 year old. That is not shocking. The real question is where do we stand by historical standards? So if we look at young workers, right, we look at the unemployment rate for young workers in say 1976, 86, 96, and then 2006, 2016, and 2025, what we find is the unemployment rate for younger workers in 2025 is about the same as it was in 2006. It's slightly higher than it was in 2016. It is significantly lower than it was in 96, 86, or 76. So again, does this mean that things are like particularly easy right now? No, but is it like the worst historical? Are we in the worst situation we've ever been in? The answer once again is no. And this is why I say we need to like take a, take a breath for just a second. Our, 18, 19, 20 year olds experiencing the most catastrophic job market in history. Is their life over? They won't be able, they'll never be able to get married. They'll never be able to get a job. One of the most persistent social science findings in all of social science literature is when you discourage people, when you tell them no matter how hard they work, they can't get ahead. If they, if they cultivate a feeling of victimhood, they will never get ahead. That's why this crap needs to stop because it's not true. Turn off the podcasts and go do things in the world is the actual answer. Okay. Well, you know, what isn't helpful when you're trying to convince people that America is a place of opportunity when it turns out that many of the people in positions of power are abusing that power. So this brings us to the terrible story of Jensen Huang or Jensen Dong. It depends on, on what kind of jokes we're making. In any case, the wall street journal is now reporting that the NVIDIA board is preparing to possibly oust Jensen Huang. Apparently he didn't have just one extramarital affair. One was with the Chinese spy. Apparently he was getting all over the place. Those microchips were getting everywhere. The board is planning to meet as soon as Wednesday to determine his future. According to people familiar with the matter, his departure would bring down the curtain on the era during which he stoked the global AI boom and became a geopolitical star. Apparently the NVIDIA CEO also had an affair with Kimberly Powell, a senior executive at NVIDIA who runs the company's healthcare business. And this seems like it was a bit of a, uh, of a cold play situation. According to the New York post, while Powell was 48, reported to Huang 63, the duo was caught on video being lovey dovey at a San Jose, California hotel during an NVIDIA conference in March, according to a couple of sources. Now she is married with two kids. She fawned online over her boss turned alleged lover a decade before news of their extramarital affair broke. And apparently they've worked together for like 18 years. Uh, count me skeptical that he's going to go. I don't think that's going to happen. I don't, it, I don't think that the story that he was having consensual affairs with members of his staff, I do not think that brings down a person who is at the head of the AI chip boom. I just don't. If the Chinese spy thing, ain't going to do it. I don't think like the Chinese spy thing might do it. That's pretty bad, but is this going to do it? I have my doubts. Joining me on the line is Rob Schneider. You know him, of course, from grownups and to Spigolo and the animal and the hot chick that's that's producer savvy's literal favorite movie. His new book is the not real Anthony Fauci diary. It is out November 24th and it is a darkly funny, unapologetic, provocative satire about, you know, Anthony Fauci. Rob, thanks so much for taking the time.
Speaker 13Thank you. It's the only justice we're going to get is the making fun of this little dwarf, uh, who shut down the world and, um, the amount of power that that man had was incredible and, um, how he wielded it and silenced others was, uh, it's phenomenal. So I think it's a real swipe. It's a mean spirited, um, take on his diary. And, um, a lot of it is, uh, seems like it's in his own words. If it isn't, I, I, I will claim it as my own.
Speaker 2So, so Rob, what, what prompted this other than, you know, visceral hatred for Anthony Fauci? What, what, what prompted you?
Speaker 13His actual diary when it came out read like a school girl's diary. It really read like, you know, this guy, you know, really was impressed that, you know, Julia Roberts is calling him and, you know, uh, Barbara Streisand. And he's just, he's this guy you know, nobody noticed him for most of his life. And all of a sudden during the pandemic, he had this, you know, meteoric rise to fame. He was America's doctor and the left completely embraced him as this, um, almost, um, angelic or, or certainly, you know, the, uh, Mr. Science as he called himself. And, uh, he was anything, but he, he literally was the, uh, epitome of medical corruption and scientific corruption and censorship. And, and the fact that that goes to show you how bloated our government is because there's other Anthony Fauci's out there and whether it's the defense department or whether it's the energy department, there's just this bureaucratic bloat that is part of it. But for someone to have that kind of influence and to have that, um, to be so celebrated and be so enamored with his own, uh, new found fame, I just had to, we just had to make something fun about it.
Speaker 2You know, Rob, one of the things that's really funny about this is you write this, this satire book about Fauci, you know, in, in the past, if you look at Hollywood, Hollywood, even now they'll satirize the right. And they'll spend literally hundreds of millions of dollars to do it, right? One battle after another is this supposed satire about a white supremacist America in which apparently only highly sexualized black liberation theorists and also illegal immigrants can, can liberate us. And they'll spend hundreds of millions and give it Oscars. If you go all the way back to the, to the sixties, then you look at Dr. Strangelove, which was satirizing the entire defense establishment, but Hollywood will never touch not in a million years. They would never, they would never, they would never, never touch somebody like Fauci, who, as you point out is extraordinarily ripe for a satire. I mean, I know this is something you've talked about at length, but you felt it directly. I mean, you're, you were a huge star able to book pretty much anything and you know, you, you just aren't of their political ilk and, and now, you know, they're, they're not going to be calling you on
Speaker 13the phone. No, and that's okay. I mean, I think, um, there are some things more important than fame and money and, and celebrity status, whatever that means. I think standing up for your culture when it's under attack. Um, and I think that's, I think that's, I think that's, I think that's a, I think it has a, a value beyond, um, what, what, uh, you can get financially. I think when you have a, you know, a society that refuses to believe the truth and when the truth becomes a right wing concept, then, then I think you have to stand up for it. And yes, it's going to cost you. And yet it's going to cost people that we know. I mean, Charlie Kirk, it costs his life. What I didn't expect was to see this wave of ugliness and a wave of a tribalism that, uh, not the tribal left does not afford, uh, to give empathy, uh, and sympathy to those outside their ilk outside their tribe, which is really pathetic and disgusting. And, and at least you see it exposed. And it's so disappointing when you see someone who's so talented, like a Dave Chappelle, uh, just evolve into a non-joke and to see the audience not going with them at the Madison square garden event. They didn't, I heard it. And they were like, Oh, Some tried to join in on the laughter just when He said he felt good that Charlie Kirk, when he thinks of Charlie Kirk being murdered, it makes him happy. And I don't sense a joke in that. I sense a lack of humanity, and I sense an ugliness. And I also sense that the left is so steep in this ugly area that is particularly left. And seeing these women witches, Jennifer Welch, I can't even believe that I know her name now. That's because of all this. I mean, they're unrepentant and ugly. And the celebration for any murder, any death, is abhorrent. But I just don't know, where do we go from here? It reminds me of a very, very dark time in our history. When you think about the anti-Semitism that I've never seen at this level in my lifetime, it reminds me of their world. There was a Hitler rally in 1939 in Madison Square Garden. And is something like that likely to happen again?
Speaker 2I don't know. One of the things that you're mentioning here, and I think that we should really put a point on it, is the fact that Dave Chappelle did what he did. And he will lose zero gigs because of it. Legitimately zero gigs. He was on your old stomping grounds literally that night. He was on Saturday Night Live that same night that he was at Madison Square Garden doing this routine, this very ugly routine. And Saturday Night Live wants him on next week. They'll invite him on next week. I mean, that's the way that it works. But if you write a-
Speaker 13But there's no repercussions. I mean, when a Democrat actor shoots somebody on a set, they go free. If any conservative ever did anything like that, you'd be in jail. You know, I mean, it's a sick kind of thing. But also, it seems to be accepted like there is nothing beneath. The liberal intelligentsia that can get you kicked out, apparently. And it sickens me. But at the same time, it's like, I'm just waiting. There is no new low. It just keeps going lower and lower. And definitely, I was shocked. One, at the murder of Charlie Kirk. The cold-blooded murder. But I wasn't prepared emotionally, psychologically, for this. The lack of remorse. The lack of- I mean, that no one on the left- I mean, even when Reagan was shot. I mean, there was- You know, you didn't see people jumping to congratulate the shooter. Whereas, you really have a coarsening on our society. And I think that does go hand in hand with the rise of anti-Semitism. You see, like, you know, like this plane crash in Florida the other day, Ben. Why are they showing that on Instagram? And why are people putting that on their accounts? These are nine dead people who had families. And this was the last tragic moments of their life. At long last, there's nothing sacred. I mean, we have a million women on OnlyFans from a particular generation. Is nothing- I mean, is everything for sale? Is there nothing sacred? Is there nothing we can hold back? Is there nothing we can come together and say, this is too much. This is too far. This is below the belt. And we must rise together. We must rise together as a nation to say when something is abhorrent, that it is indeed abhorrent.
Speaker 2Yeah. And Rob, you know, for saying what you just said right there, that's the thing that gets you not booked, right? I mean, you've mentioned all these terrible things that have been done over the course of the last several years, things people have said, things people have done. And they're still getting gigs. But for you just saying what you've said, which is those things are bad, you will feel the blowback. I mean, that's something that we here at Daily Wire have experienced a lot recently. Obviously, we were filming something up in Montana, and the town literally mobilized their city council to try and shut down the filming, which is a violation of the First Amendment. We were going to sue them. And the entire Hollywood glitterati, everyone in the Hollywood press came down on the side of the city. They were very, very excited for the censorship. And we released our biggest movie yet yesterday, Confession with Rob Lowe and James Franco and Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ignolzi. It's a terrific film. It's been a great success. Hollywood Reporter, its opening paragraph, the literal opening paragraph of the review was, here is a loathsome human being. And so, yeah, I think that until that changes, until the artistic community was supposed to be the broad-minded, open-minded community where everybody could come to the table, sure, you bring your opinions, and then we all get together and make art. That has died. And until there is an alternative that's provided, we're trying to do that some here at Daily Wire. But until an alternative provided, it really is going to be dominated by some of the most censorious and restrictionist people in America.
Speaker 13You really do have a blacklist. And the blacklist, if you go back and think about it in the 1950s, you really, first of all, some of the things you realized was, yes, Hollywood was being infiltrated by communists. It was having an effect. And Joe McCarthy was right to go after these people. And now what you have is you have the opposite now, is you really have a blacklisting of conservative voices. Or I would just say, you know, from someone who's been, you know, a Democrat most of his life, you have someone who just doesn't go along with the playbook. And then you're out. And you're out forever. But luckily, like yourselves, you know, the Daily Caller, you're providing work for actors and making content. Because at the end of the day, the cat is out of the bag. I mean, if you take a look at who really watches the Oscars anymore, I haven't seen it in years. I mean, it's got to be in the hundreds of thousands when it used to be a hundred million people would watch it because it really was the best pitchers. I remember, you know, Barbara Wawa interviewing Sean Connery, you know, and interviewing the people nominated. And you would watch that. You'd watch it with your parents. And you'd bet on who would be the best movie. And there were great films. And a hundred million people in the United States would watch it. And then around the world. And I can't say that anybody that I know watches it anymore. And I don't know who it's for. And I don't know what those movies are. And the fact that it has to be, you know, certain percentage LBGTQ plus to be the boom operator, to be nominated, you have to have certain characters that fit them. I mean. Where does that come in artistically? It is just a political machine. And so you have, you know, you have politics that are the top of the most important, you know, that is the, you know, the prime objective is to force their politics down the throats of the American people. And they're not shy about it. And I would say that they are more successful than not. I mean, if anything, I think Trump in the last was as an, as an aberration to the continued onslaught of this leftist and now a leftist Muslim advance. So, I mean, communist, leftist, Muslim, DSA, call it what you want. These are things that are violently anti-American. The violence that we're seeing from the left, violence from Antifa, the violence that we're going to see more in Europe, we're going to see that coming here. So I think it, people on both sides, both sides of the aisle here, they have to stand up and it's going to cost you. It's going to cost you to speak your opinion. It's going to cost you jobs. It's going to cost you money, but it's going to cost you much more if you don't speak up and you lose this incredible experiment in freedom that we have. This idea that we have this thing called inalienable rights. That is, that was a new idea. It wasn't given by some king or by some tyrant or by some bishops or lords. This is something that you have and that no one can take away from you and that no one could argue about. That is a system that with its safeguards in place is something that, you know, whether Democrats and Republicans have disagreed in the past, they haven't tried to discard it and throw it into the dustbin of history. This is particularly new and dangerous what these Democrats and these DSA and these communists, these avowed communists are threatening to do, Ben.
Speaker 2Well, that's Rob Schneider. He has a brand new book. I know this has been a very serious interview, but the book is actually hysterically funny and you should go check it out right now. The book is The Not Real Anthony Fauci Diary, which again is a hilarious satire on you-know-who Anthony Fauci. Rob, thanks so much for stopping by. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 13Thank you very much, Ben. All the best to you. Continued success and good luck. I can't wait to see the new movie. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right. Take care now.
Speaker 2All righty, folks. We've reached the end of the show. I promise you we'll be back here tomorrow with much, much, much more. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. That I used to feel, Christ. I cannot feel anything here.
Speaker 14They take me out of my bed and they brought me here and they tell me nothing. What have I done? Article 58, counter-revolutionary activity. That is all I know. They have to deal with so many. They have to deal with so many enemies of the state, all of whom claim their innocence, who protest, who cry. There are no answers here other than the ones they put in your mouth. You'll break. Today is your opportunity to demonstrate your loyalty to the people. You'd like to know why I'm here? Of course. But you already know, don't you? You must believe in something greater than the party. You will remember your duty. I've told you I know nothing. And he growled like a feral animal.
Speaker 13You stink of failure.
Speaker 14You want me to lie.
Speaker 8Still a drunk! Damn you! They all break. Maybe. Subtitles by the Amara.org community
