I am not yet tired of winning. The winning just continues. 
I am truly enjoying the staffing of the new Trump administration so far. According to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/trump-selects-florida-rep-mike-waltz-as-national-security-adviser-104414fe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wall Street Journal</a>, there are a couple of picks that have been made. One has been announced: Florida GOP Representative Mike Waltz, a Green Beret veteran, to be White House national security adviser. The Journal also reported that President-elect Trump is expected to nominate Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as Secretary of State.
President Trump is moving fast. He is staffing professionally. He&#8217;s finding people who are loyal to the Trump vision, the “peace through strength” vision.
President Trump was on this show two weeks before Election Day, and I specifically asked him about his foreign policy. He said repeatedly that peace through strength is his foreign policy.
That’s what over 75 million Americans voted for: Trump&#8217;s peace through strength.
Trump’s picks are going to do his bidding in the foreign policy realm; they will reinforce his Trump doctrine, which is, “Cross this line and I will punch you so hard in the face you will not want to do it again.” 
That is the Trump doctrine and it is a great doctrine, an excellent foreign policy doctrine, which is why we had four years with no wars. Contrary to certain popular opinions, war is only prevented by preparing for war so you don&#8217;t have to do it. That is the actual way that you prevent war. 
Submission and cowardice were tried with Joe Biden. It didn&#8217;t go particularly well.
Donald Trump does precisely the reverse. As I said on Fox Business, President Trump is the best foreign policy president of my lifetime, bar none.

Marco Rubio entered with the Tea Party wave back in 2010, and then ran for president against Donald Trump in 2016.
Trump has a unique capacity to let bygones be bygones, which is why, of course, despite the fact that JD Vance said some unkind things about him back in 2016, Vance is his vice president. Rubio has proven himself to be a formidable asset on the campaign trail; he was loyal to President Trump&#8217;s vision and was an early Trump endorser in the primaries.
Not only that, Rubio has proven himself on foreign policy. He&#8217;s on the Senate Intelligence Committee, he&#8217;s great on television, and he knows all the players. In one instance, he was walking down a hallway being harassed by a pro-Hamas heckler from Code Pink.
It didn&#8217;t go well for <a href="https://x.com/yashar/status/1856171518994329616" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the heckler:</a>
<blockquote>Heckler: Senator Rubio, will you call for a ceasefire?
Rubio: No, I will not. (turning to someone accompanying the heckler) Are you filming this? I want you guys to get this. (turning back to heckler) I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they can get their hands on. These people are vicious animals who did horrifying crimes. And I hope you guys post that.
Heckler: What about the civilians killed every day?
Rubio: I blame Hamas. Hamas should stop hiding behind civilians, putting civilians in the way. Hamas knew that this was going to lead to this, so Hamas should stop building their military installations underneath hospitals.
Heckler: So you don&#8217;t care that 15,000 died. You don&#8217;t care about the babies that are being killed every day.
Rubio: Absolutely I care. I think it’s horrifying. I think it&#8217;s terrible. I think Hamas is 100% to blame. That&#8217;s what I think. Make sure you post that, please.</blockquote>
Rubio has also said that if you come to the United States on a visa and you proceed to spew anti-American, anti-Semitic nonsense, you should be gone. 
He <a href="https://www.rubio.senate.gov/english-espanol-senate-democrats-block-rubio-resolution-calling-on-biden-to-revoke-visas-of-hamas-sympathizers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> on the Senate floor: 
<blockquote>What I am saying is common sense. You’re a visitor. You are not even American. You’re a foreign national. You’re here because we gave you a visa to be here temporarily, and now you’re out there defending and supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization? You need to go. That’s what this resolution asks the administration to do. I hope we can get a vote on it in the Senate, so everyone will know where everyone here stands.</blockquote>
Rubio is repeating the Trump line with regard to Ukraine, which, contrary to popular opinion, is not that the United States is going to cut and run from Ukraine.
Trump does not like losing. He likes to win, as we have noticed. And what does that mean?
It doesn&#8217;t mean endless war in Ukraine. What it means is that the United States supports Ukraine sufficient to prevent a Russian invasion of Kyiv, but also looks for an off-ramp with Putin settling the lines where they are already settled. That is what the deal has looked like since 2022.
Rubio pointed out that the Biden administration had no plan in Ukraine, <a href="https://x.com/SenMarcoRubio/status/1854252665418772536" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying:</a>
<blockquote>If you ask the Biden administration, they will tell you we are funding a stalemate. I think the Ukrainians have been incredibly brave and strong in standing up to Russia. But at the end of the day, what we are funding here is a stalemate war, and it needs to be brought to a conclusion because that country is going to be set back 100 years. Now, that doesn&#8217;t mean that we celebrate what Vladimir Putin did or are excited about it. But I think there has to also be some common sense here, and that is that right now what we are funding is a stalemate that&#8217;s costing lives. It&#8217;s going to take 100 years to rebuild that poor country with everything they are facing now.</blockquote>
He is not wrong about that. And that is why President Trump is attempting to seek an offramp there.

Mike Waltz has been a bulldog on national security. Waltz slammed Secretary of State Antony Blinken to his face in a hearing, saying:
<blockquote>Mr. Secretary, I have here the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, the invasion of Ukraine, the unholy alliance between Russia and China, Hamas and Hezbollah attacks on Israel, Houthi attacking international shipping, hostages in Gaza, Iran flush with cash, the reemergence of ISIS-K now six thwarted attacks in Europe, increased Chinese aggression and the collapse of our influence in central Africa … You&#8217;re going to tell the American people with this list they&#8217;re safer?</blockquote>
Peace through strength.
Trump means it.

First, I want to say Happy Veterans Day and thank you to everyone who has served in uniform in the United States military. You are making a sacrifice, and you have made sacrifices none of the rest of us have made. We owe you our undying gratitude, particularly on Veterans Day. Thank you so much for fighting for this country, for defending this country, and for making everything we have possible.
Today, we have winning on the menu with two big Trump wins right off the bat.
Trump has now tapped Tom Homan as his new “border czar.” Tom Homan is, of course, the former acting ICE chief. In a social media post late on Sunday, Trump made his <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113462412414821782" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a>:
<blockquote>I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders (“The Border Czar”), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security. I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.</blockquote>
Homan is somebody who really stands up for the principles of a closed border and for legal immigration. In October during an <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-mass-deportation-plan-cost-consequences-60-minutes-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with 60 Minutes’</a> Cecilia Vega, Homan clarified his positioning on deportation:
<blockquote>Vega: We have seen one estimate that says it would cost $88 billion to deport a million people a year.
Homan: I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s accurate or not.
Vega: Is that what American taxpayers should expect?
Homan: What price do you put on national security? Is it worth it? 
Vega: Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?
Homan: Of course there is. Families can be deported together.</blockquote>
Trump is serious about deporting a large number of people, and Homan is the most serious person to act as “border czar.”
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2082-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
In a hearing in 2019 before the Committee on Oversight and Reform, Homan <a href="https://congress.gov/116/meeting/house/109772/documents/HHRG-116-GO00-Transcript-20190712-U10.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faced down</a> the venerable intellect, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Congress:
<blockquote>Ocasio-Cortez: Mr. Homan, your name is on this. Is this correct?
Homan: Yes, I signed that memo.
Ocasio-Cortez: So you are the author of the family separation policy?
Homan: I am not the author of this memo.
Ocasio-Cortez: You’re not the author, but you signed the memo?
Homan: Yes, a zero-tolerance memo.
Ocasio-Cortez: So you provided the official recommendation to Secretary Nielsen on family—for the United States to pursue family separation?
Homan: I gave Secretary Nielsen numerous recommendations on how to secure the border and save lives.
Ocasio-Cortez: But it says here that you—you gave her numerous options, but the recommendation was option three, family separation.
Homan: What I’m saying, this is not the only paper where we had given the Secretary numerous options to secure the border and save lives.
Ocasio-Cortez: And so the recommendation — of the many that you recommended — you recommended family separation.
Homan: I recommended zero tolerance.
Ocasio-Cortez: Which includes family separation.
Homan: The same as it is with every U.S. citizen parent that gets arrested when they’re with a child.
Ocasio-Cortez: Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their parents?
Homan: If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in the car, I’m going to be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that father from—
Ocasio-Cortez: Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime.
Homan: When you’re in the country illegally, it’s a violation of eight United States Code 1325.
Ocasio-Cortez: Seeking asylum is legal.
Homan: If you want to seek asylum, go through the port of entry, do it the legal way. The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear.</blockquote>
That is the new border czar. Trump was not joking when he talked about closing the border and taking the issue of illegal immigration seriously.
Tom Homan as the “border czar” was not Trump&#8217;s only announced pick over the weekend. He also announced Rep. Elise Stefanik to his choice for the U.N. ambassador role.
That&#8217;s a great job. If you have to pick any job in the American government, U.N. ambassador is a fantastic job because you have a very nice apartment in New York City, and then you go over to the U.N., which is a repository of all human scum, and yell at dictators all day. It&#8217;s a pretty phenomenal job.
Stefanik happens to be an excellent candidate for this position. Just last December, she stood up to antisemitism on college campuses. In last year’s Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing on “Holding Campus Leaders Accountable and Confronting Antisemitism,” Stefanik <a href="https://stefanik.house.gov/2023/12/icymi-during-questions-from-stefanik-presidents-of-harvard-upenn-mit-refuse-to-condemn-calls-for-genocide-of-jews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressed</a> then-Harvard University President Claudine Gay, along with several other university heads, whether allowing antisemitic chants calling for the elimination of the state of Israel was, in fact, antisemitic:
<blockquote>Stefanik: I will ask you one more time. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard&#8217;s rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or no?
Gay: Antisemitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct, that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation, that is actionable conduct, and we do take action.
Stefanik: So the answer is yes. That calling for the genocide of Jews violates Harvard Code of Conduct. Correct?
Gay: Again, it depends on the context.
Stefanik: It does not depend on the context the answer is yes, and this is why you should resign. These are unacceptable answers across the board.</blockquote>
After this hearing — and after she was found to have plagiarized multiple works, including her dissertation — Gay ended up losing her job.
So, these are all excellent picks.

Promise Kept! Trump Picks Hard Core Border Czar

Tom Homan

I am unaccustomed to this level of optimism. The bottom line is: I&#8217;m optimistic because President Trump keeps making good decisions.
We were told Donald Trump was going to come into office and immediately staff up complete idiots around him. It’s almost as though those were myths, all untrue — though we were told that by the most intelligent people. As they said, Trump had fired people like General James Mattis. After all, Trump had been at odds with so many members of his prior administration, there would be no one left. He would be forced to dip into the bottom of the barrel, they said.
But thus far, I see precisely zero evidence that is the case. The people who are apparently doing the staffing on a wide variety of issues include people like the vice president of the United States elect, JD Vance. Trump-world insiders like Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Susie Wiles are on that team. Brian Hook, who is involved in foreign policy, is as well. In other words, the people who are going to go into the Trump administration are not going to be jokers. They are going to be very serious people with very serious portfolios.
Late yesterday, Donald Trump announced he would be tapping his campaign manager, Susie Wiles, as the White House chief of staff. Wiles, a very serious person, is well-respected on all sides of the political spectrum inside the Republican Party. Everyone from Jeb Bush all the way to Donald Trump has endorsed Wiles as chief of staff.
She&#8217;s a very serious politico. She has worked not only with Trump, but with Rick Scott when he was governor of Florida and with Governor Ron DeSantis when he was running for governor of Florida. Then she went back into the Trump campaign. She is wily, savvy, and knife-sharp. She is an exceptionally solid political fighter.
The Wall Street Journal article covering Trump’s announcement of White House chief of staff, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/trump-taps-campaign-co-manager-susie-wiles-as-white-house-chief-of-staff-c95f93b3?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reads</a>, “Susie Wiles, who led Donald Trump’s presidential run, will become his White House chief of staff when he retakes the presidency next year, the campaign said Thursday, making her the first woman to hold that role in U.S. history.” Remember when, according to Mark Cuban, Trump wouldn&#8217;t surround himself with strong women? Yet Wiles is, indeed, a strong woman.
Trump said in <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/07/donald-trump-susie-wiles-chief-of-staff-00188346">a statement</a>, “Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns. Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.&#8221;
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2081-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Wiles keeps her cards real close to the vest. She is incredibly savvy, and she is not the type of person who is going to take kindly to people who do not have Team Trump&#8217;s best interests at heart. So she is an excellent pick by President Trump. And again, she&#8217;s well respected on pretty much every side of the Republican political spectrum.
Now, the question as to how she negotiates in Congress is still open. Usually the chief of staff has a lot of congressional negotiations. The good news for her is that while she doesn&#8217;t have tons of experience at doing that — because again, she was campaign manager in 2016 and 2020 in part, and she didn&#8217;t really involve herself in legislative affairs — she will be negotiating with Mike Johnson in the House.
In the Senate, the Senate leadership battle is still wide open at this point. There&#8217;s a lot of speculation about who is going to take over as the Senate majority leader because Mitch McConnell has announced he&#8217;s going to step down. There are some rumors that Rick Scott, for example, is trying to run for it. There are more than rumors, he does want the Senate majority leadership position.
There are some members of the base who are very hot on Scott, so he&#8217;s a possibility. John Thune is also a very solid possibility. Most of the more established members of the U.S. Senate are probably going to back Thune or John Cornyn. Honestly, any of those people will be perfectly capable of negotiating with President Trump and will do a fine job in that role.
Meanwhile, President-elect Trump and his senior advisers are privately assembling short lists of candidates for top jobs in the incoming administration. Apparently, Trump&#8217;s transition team, according to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/donald-trump-cabinet-transition-president-42989f5b?mod=hp_lead_pos1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wall Street Journal</a>, is being “led by co-chair Howard Lutnick, who is overseeing personnel” and “has put together spreadsheets with names for the former president to consider.”
Among the people who are being considered for national security adviser is Richard Grenell. We all know him as Trump&#8217;s former ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence. Grenell would do an amazing job in that role. The Wall Street Journal goes on: “Other potential candidates include Keith Kellogg, an octogenarian, retired three star Army general and former national security advisor to vice President Mike Pence; former Defense Department official Elbridge Colby; and Robert O’Brien, who served as the last of four national security advisers during Trump’s first term.”
Some of the people mentioned for secretary of the treasury include “Key Square Group founder Scott Bessent, and billionaire investor John Paulson.” A few of the possibilities mentioned for secretary of state are Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, as well as Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. Both of those would be excellent picks.
Other potential candidates include O&#8217;Brien, Grenell, and former senior State Department official Brian Hook, who is largely seen as the person compiling lists on who precisely should go into the foreign policy establishment. Hook has been speaking publicly about what the administration&#8217;s Iran policy is, and it is already bearing fruit. They haven&#8217;t even taken office yet and action is already happening to bring down conflicts in the Middle East.
As far as secretary of defense, some of the names that have been thrown out are Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who Trump acknowledged in his victory speech in Florida Wednesday morning.
Republican Representative John Ratcliffe, who has served as Trump&#8217;s director of national intelligence, is being put forward as a candidate as head of the Department of Defense or CIA. Mike Waltz, a congressman from Florida, is being considered as a possible DOD leader. For Homeland Security, Chad Wolf’s and Tom Homan’s names are being mentioned, both of whom would be great. The bottom line is: All of these names would be not just acceptable, but also excellent.
Furthermore, the markets are picking up on this, and “Washington’s open for business,” as <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/07/trump-elon-musk-business-tax-cuts">Axios</a> puts it. Marc Andreessen, an investor who backed President Trump in this race, tweeted out this morning that he believes that we are going to be seeing unprecedented economic growth. He <a href="https://x.com/pmarca/status/1854768973306630479">says</a>, “America is an economic coiled spring. We should be growing at least 4% annually and ideally 6-8%+. Growth has been brutally suppressed since before I was born. But there is so much to build. And the payoff for all Americans will be incredible.”
That is the mood in the business community. As Axios reports, “Buckle up. President-elect Trump plans fast action on a business-friendly agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and expanded energy production, his advisers tell us.”
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a></h3>
This all has a downward effect on inflation, because with more productivity comes more supply which then keeps up with demand; then, prices drop. Deregulation means more investment, it means economic growth, it means more innovation. “Trump plans to load his White House and Cabinet with business- and tech-friendly executives, and stretch the powers of the presidency to force quick changes,” Axios writes. “Trump advisers believe in retrospect that they wasted early opportunities in his first term” because they did not know how to staff.
This is the nice thing for Trump’s second term. They know exactly who they have to fire. Trump is going to take office with a triumvirate. He&#8217;ll have the House and the Senate. He&#8217;s going to fill his top ranks with actual business leaders. The courts and leaders are going to support him.
The people picking staff include Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, and Joe Lonsdale. What a team that&#8217;s going to be. You want to talk about growing the economy? You want to talk about a productivity explosion? You want to talk about people who know how to build businesses and know how markets work?
You&#8217;re not going to do better than that group of people.

The recriminations have begun between Team Biden and Team Harris, and it is delicious. I have publicly vowed that I will read any book, any piece, anything about the absolute crap show that was the Kamala Harris campaign. I am here for it.
I want to hear about how Joe Biden wrecked all of this by not stepping out early.
I want to hear from Joe Biden&#8217;s team how Kamala Harris is an absolute trash heap of horror at politics and how her campaign was run like absolute clown-car nonsense.
I want to hear all of it — how much they hate each other, how Jill couldn&#8217;t stand Kamala but was kind of fond of Doug.
I want to hear every bit of gossip. I&#8217;m here for every single moment of it. I&#8217;ve been waiting for it. I&#8217;m enjoying all of it.
Honestly, when I think of the amount of winning that I&#8217;m currently experiencing, I don&#8217;t think I can tire of it.
That’s a promise Donald Trump has made that he has not kept: He promised I would be so tired of “the winning” that I would be tired of winning.
I&#8217;m not. I’m not yet tired of the winning.
I require more winning.
The demand for winning continues to increase even as the supply of winning increases. Supply must be increased of the winning in order to meet demand.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2080-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Speaking of winning, the Republicans are poised to keep control of the House of Representatives after winning the Senate and picking up four seats. Republicans have a solid, durable majority at 53 seats and they are apparently going to retain the House in all likelihood as well.
Donald Trump is going to reenter office with a triumvirate: the White House, the Senate, and the House, which he would not have had if he had won in 2020.  House Speaker Mike Johnson said everyone&#8217;s fed up and fired up for their fight about the cost of living, the rising crime rates, the wide open border, and the weakness on the world stage.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris finally emerged to explain that her “heart was full,” adding, “The light of America&#8217;s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”
“While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign,” she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-concedes-says-she-is-proud-of-the-way-she-ran-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a>. “The fight, the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and the dignity of all people, a fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect America at our best, that is a fight I will never give up.”
I don&#8217;t even know what she was talking about. What does that mean, “I will fight for America?” Can she spell that out? What are the American ideals that “reflect America at our best?”
Did she mean boys in the girls locker rooms? Are we talking here about Rachel Levine and the transgender movement? Are we talking about cutting the American military while attempting to make nice with pro-Hamas protesters?
Which part of American values was she talking about?
She was never going to fill that in, because the minute she did, there would be problems.
She finished, appropriately enough, with some more platitudes. She talked about darkness and stars — and stars and darkness and pablum like that. 
It sounded like this:
<blockquote>There&#8217;s an adage a historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages. The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here&#8217;s the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars. </blockquote>
Wow. That&#8217;s so moving: the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.
Nay, trillions of stars. Nay, a bajillion of stars.
She sounded like some of the worst dialog from &#8220;Rings of Power.&#8221; She sounded like she was in the writers’ room for &#8220;Rings of Power&#8221; and started cribbing off their notes.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a></h3>
Then Biden gave his speech. And he looked like this was the happiest day of his life since he was inaugurated in 2021. He looked so happy. You could see it written across his face. He was so delighted she lost because if she won, he would just be a transitional president.
Now he gets to claim that it was all her fault.
He looked delighted, as if he had more mojo than he had any time during the campaign.
He was so happy because Harris losing meant that all the people who hated him and who dumped him are losers.
And the Harris people think the Biden people are losers.
They’re both right.
So much winning!

Baruch Hashem — thank God. Truly, thank God.
Here’s the thing: God spared Donald Trump’s life during this election cycle.
I know you may not believe in God. But I have to say, it’s pretty damned difficult sometimes not to see His hand moving in history. God’s hand was clearly on Donald Trump when he turned his head 20 degrees and avoided having his brains blown out live on national television. And God spared Donald Trump for a reason. We don’t know God’s reasons. But He’s making His hand pretty damned apparent to anyone who is willing to watch.
I’ll admit it: I’ve questioned some of God’s writing decisions on this season of Trump. Not one, but two assassination attempts? The feeble and elderly president actually going defunct live on national television? The replacement candidate being a word salad chef? Her picking, not the popular Democratic governor of a swing state, but a nutjob who has a clear relationship to Gumby? Tony Hinchcliffe, &#8220;eating the dogs,&#8221; P-nut?
Seriously, God?
But wow, can God stick the landing. The season finale: absolutely unbelievable. So good. 10 out of 10. Would watch again. Will download for the plane. 
Best. Season. Of. Trump. Evah.
Let’s actually talk seriously about the meaning of this election. And let’s begin with the man who won it: Donald Trump.
Last night on the air, I got into an interesting discussion with Skeletor-impersonator Andrew Klavan. The conversation was about Trump and what made him different. Donald Trump, I pointed out, has run this race as a moderate Republican. He’s Left of Mitt Romney positionally on a wide variety of issues. So it wasn’t that Trump is some sort of throwback to rock-ribbed conservatism. That isn’t it.
What makes Trump different is that he was built for this moment.
There have been a lot of Biblical comparisons for Donald Trump. Many people point out that King David had some pretty serious personal flaws, but he was beloved of God. But I have one: Noah.
When the flood was coming, God found a man who could build an ark. A man who was, as God puts it in the Bible, “ish Tzadik, tamim haya b’dorotav.” A righteous man, complete in his generation. The commentators argue over what this means: Was he particularly good because he was righteous in a bad generation? Many commentators say no: Noah was built for his time. He was complete — a man in full — in his time.
Donald Trump is built for this time.
He has absorbed more punishment than any politician in modern history. That is no exaggeration. Twice impeached. Four times indicted. Fined tens of millions of dollars. Almost shot in the head. Then almost shot again.

And we all know what the iconic image of Donald Trump is, the one that will go in the history books. It’s not going to be him at McDonalds or him driving a garbage truck or the mug shot or even him coming down the golden escalator.
It is the photo of him rising to his feet after being shot, blood coming from his ear, raising his fist in the air, exhorting, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
<div id="attachment_825261" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-825261" class="wp-image-825261 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/11/001c_Trump-Iconic-Butler-Photo-864x576.jpg" alt="Donald Trump in Butler, PA.

Look again at the photo. It’s everything. It’s why Donald Trump is the most important man of our age. It is courage in the face of danger. It is defiance in the face of assault. And it is the American flag floating in the background — the unironic, patriotic symbol of the world’s most kickass country.
That’s Donald Trump. He is ish tamim b’dorotav. He was built for this time.
He was built for a time when America has to stare down its enemies abroad and tell them that, as Trump said to me, we might bomb the s*** out of them — but also a time when hard-nosed business negotiations can yield international peace. He was built for a time when America must choose between a future of economic dynamism and innovation, or one of stagnation and decline. He was built for a time in which America had to choose between the power of treating each other as individuals — and no one on earth treats people as individuals more than Donald Trump does, I’ve seen him do it — and treating people as members of oppressor or oppressed classes.
Yes, Donald Trump has plenty of flaws. So did Noah. Check out the chapters after the flood.
But when the flood is coming, you need a man who bucks the strictures of a corrupt generation and builds a boat.
Trump builds the boat. And America is not only going to survive the storms, America is going to rebuild once the waters recede. And the waters are now beginning to recede.
These times require a middle finger. Trump is that middle finger. He has compared himself to Washington, Lincoln, and McKinley. But the man he most represents is another New Yorker, a garrulous, self-confident-bordering-on-pompous, audacious president: Teddy Roosevelt. It was Roosevelt who said this in 1910:
<blockquote>It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.</blockquote>
Now, let’s turn to the person who lost this race: Kamala Harris.
Here’s the thing about Kamala Harris: nothing.
Literally nothing. She was not “joy.” She was not “brat.” She was nothing. She’s always been nothing. She has never won a single vote outside of the state of California. She has never been subjected to the rigors of a serious public examination. She is a creation of a party machinery. She is an empty vessel. That was apparent every time she opened her mouth, and no amount of celebrity glitter could cover up that innate emptiness.
Which means that Kamala Harris’ loss isn’t about Kamala. And no, it’s not about Joe Biden, either.
It’s about the entire corrupt machine to which Donald Trump and the American people just threw out a double-barrelled f*** you.
Let’s talk about the machine.
The machine that says, at root, America is inherently racist, sexist, homophobic, and Islamophobic. That cities burning is just part of the bargain of coming to grips with our innate evil. That what America needs is an “intifada revolution.” That the story of America is one of a corrupt and evil nation requiring the harsh hand of elites at the top of government to correct them into the harness of equity.
The machine that says American innovation is a problem because it’s exploitative and that the job of the government is to create equality of outcome, to relieve people of burden of responsibility and virtue and hand them government checks instead. That families are little torture chambers filled with nasty, hackneyed values, and that churches are repositories of cruelty rather than community. That every human being is just a set of free-floating feelings and that it is the job of a cloistered elite to legitimize those feelings, such that boys can even be girls through the grace of government.
The machine that says American power on the world stage is somehow bad for the world and that our enemies have basically got it right. The machine that touts the virtue of spoiled brats on college campuses who shout about the evils of America while living off its spoils.
The machine that manufactures narratives that are overtly false, through the most powerful media mechanisms in human history — and then, unsatisfied, tries to crack down on those who disagree. The machine that lies to you: about the economy, about foreign policy, about social policy, about America, about the nature of reality itself. Because if you’ll buy the lie, then perhaps you’ll go along with their program.
That was the machine that lost last night.
That machine is ugly. It is hideous. And it deserves to die. And last night, it died.
That’s what Election 2024 was about, in the end. It was about a return to normalcy.
A couple of weeks ago, I did a debate with Sam Harris about Trump versus Kamala. And Sam kept saying Trump wasn’t normal, and somehow, Kamala was. And I’m sure Sam meant it; Trump says weird things, exaggerates, bloviates, and bulls***s.
But I pointed something out to Sam: When people say they want a return to normal, they don’t mean politics as usual. Because for most people, politics as usual is SNAFU: Situation Normal, All F***ed Up. What Americans are looking for is true normalcy: They want to take care of their families; they want to build wealth; they want to go to church; they want to get along with their fellow Americans, and they want to dream of big things together. They like Elon Musk’s rockets and they like truckers and they like church bake-offs and they like marriage and they like children.
They. Want. Normal.
And this is a flood generation. Nothing Is Normal. The only thing that has come to seem normal is that when the water levels rise slowly enough, it feels as though you’ve always been in water up to your neck.
But it isn’t normal.
We want normal. This was the revenge of normal.
Donald Trump is the instrument of that revenge. So is JD Vance. So is Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and yes, us here at the Daily Wire. We want normal. Because normal is the American Dream.
And sometimes, it takes a man with a golden escalator, a wild hairdo, and a cartoonish speaking cadence — and more personal courage, toughness, and yes, patriotism, than any of his enemies — to make normal great again.

TOPSHOT-US-VOTE-POLITICS-TRUMP

Trump Wins! Thanks To God And Overall Meaning

U.S. Politics

You need to go out and vote today.
This election is just too important.
You need to vote because there are serious matters at stake, as I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/my-closing-statement-why-i-voted-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed yesterday</a>. But there is a broader question at stake today in this election: whether we are a nation that wants to be dynamic, or whether we want to slide into senescence. Are we a nation that wants an economy of innovation, or one of redistribution and stagnation? Are we a nation that wants a foreign policy of strength, with powerful allies and our enemies in retreat? Or are we a nation that wants to abandon the world stage, handing power to our enemies as the light dies? Are we a nation that wants to build on the roots of family and community, or one that wants to trade the institutions that make life worth living in favor of top-down dictation from a self-appointed elite who believe that their untried values ought to supplant time-tested virtues?
Most of all, you need to vote because you owe it to both your ancestors and your progeny to do so.
See, here’s the thing: Democracy, in the general sense, is totally unnatural.
The earliest beginnings of democracy were in ancient Athens, but of course, the vote was heavily restricted; the same was true in ancient Rome. Modern democracy has its roots in Magna Carta, in the Estates General of France — but didn’t reach full fruition in the way we think of democracy until the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2078-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
It takes centuries to inculcate the values of democracy, and the rights of the people to be free of arbitrary government — which is what lies at the heart of Western democracy. We are not subjects. We are citizens. We are citizens with rights and duties. We build social fabric together in order to share those duties and to enable the functioning of those rights. And governments are instituted by men in order to protect those rights and to enshrine those duties.
That is what lies at the heart of the American experiment. That is why we have checks and balances too, why we are small-R republicans and not just pure democrats. The founders, you see, were cautious about democracy: They knew its promises and its perils. That’s why the single most important paragraph ever written on the American system can be found in <a href="https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/historic-document-library/detail/james-madison-federalist-no-51-1788">Federalist 51</a>, by James Madison, framer of the Constitution:
<blockquote>But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controuls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to controul the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to controul itself. A dependence on the people is no doubt the primary controul on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.</blockquote>
The founders instituted those checks and balances. But, Madison is right in the end: The primary control on the government is a dependence on the judgment of the people.
And that is the thing we must agree upon in order for democracy to work.
This struck me last week when I was standing in line with my wife to vote. People of every age and race were in that line, all agreeing to a common principle: that we would abide by the collective decision about who would represent us, for president, for Congress, for the Senate. That we shared a nation together, and that if we lost, we would understand that next time we might win. That we were willing to delegate some of the highest-stake decisions in life to a system that values the opinions of our fellow citizens.
See, democracy only works when both sides are invested in the bargain. If one side always believed they would lose, they wouldn’t buy in: They’d revolt. That’s when democracy breaks down. Jefferson says in the Declaration that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. That consent can only continue if we all believe enough in one another, and in our system.
That system is fraying, for certain. For a thousand reasons that we all know.
But it’s not breaking down today. We’re all going to the polls. Thanks to the checks and balances of the framers — who understood both the value and the dangers of democracy — we can rest assured that if the other person wins, yes, things will get worse, but we will survive. This will not be the last election.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Election Night 2024 on DailyWire+</a></h3>
With that said, this vote matters more than most. While this won’t be the last election, it is an inflection point. We can continue down a path of polarizing the country by race, sex, and identity — or we can reverse that process. We can continue to tear apart the country by indicting each other as oppressors and pretending our own oppression — or we can seize the future together. We can continue to retreat from the world — or we can remember that America remains the last, best hope of mankind.
And so today, you should vote.
You should vote because you can — and because that is an immense privilege, earned by the blood of others and still denied to most of humanity today as we speak. And you should vote because you should: because your vote will certainly matter.

My Closing Statement: Why I Voted Trump

Democrats are now becoming desperate and they are trotting out their last line of defense: Celebrities.
Yes, it&#8217;s celebrity time. Now, it&#8217;s always bewildered me that Democrats believe celebrities are really going to move the needle in a major way in favor of their party. It has never worked in my lifetime.
Barack Obama didn&#8217;t need celebrities, he was a celebrity. Hillary Clinton tried using celebrities and failed. Joe Biden really didn&#8217;t have much by the way of celebrity endorsements because his entire campaign was run from his basement.
Well, now Kamala Harris is calling on all of her Hollywood friends to cut endorsements for her.
Members of “The Avengers” cast decided to cut a commercial that is indeed the weirdest commercial ever. They literally end it by shouting “Down with democracy” as they say that Kamala Harris should be the president:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
‘AVENGERS’ stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle and Paul Bettany have reunited to make a video endorsing Kamala Harris’ campaign for President. <a href="https://t.co/Erh31rowps">pic.twitter.com/Erh31rowps</a>
&mdash; DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) <a href="https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1852101867376926874?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 31, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Are you going to vote based on that? Are you going to listen to Mark “I hate Jews” Ruffalo? Those are the people who are going out with? All right.
Jennifer Lopez was also out campaigning. She apparently was incredibly offended, as a Puerto Rican woman, by Tony Hinchcliffe.
Here she was at a rally for Kamala Harris:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Jennifer Lopez: I am Puerto Rican and yes I was born here, and we are Americans. I am a mother. I am a sister. I am an actress and I like Hollywood endings and I like it when the good guy, or in this case the good girl wins. And with an understanding of our past, and our faith in… <a href="https://t.co/0Elnsy1jIG">pic.twitter.com/0Elnsy1jIG</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
So, when I have questions about character, the first person I go to is the woman who dated Diddy. Her judgment on humans is stellar.
Jimmy Kimmel, by the way, is now so excited for Kamala Harris that he is actually violating the law. Here he was the other night doing just that:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
When I made an election joke, the Deep State used it as a pretext to conduct a fishing expedition against me, subpoenaing all financial records, leases, employment information and pay stubs, and email accounts.
Will Jimmy Kimmel enjoy the same? <a href="https://t.co/uAMI9saL2i">https://t.co/uAMI9saL2i</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
So, yes, that&#8217;s a joke. The problem is, the Department of Justice actually <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-supporter-douglass-mackey-sentenced-to-7-months-in-prison-over-voting-memes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prosecuted a man</a> named Douglass Mackey back in October of 2023 for this exact same joke.
Mackey had about 58,000 Twitter followers when he tweeted out and texted some information suggesting that black voters should show up late for the election. They prosecuted him and he went to jail. Jimmy Kimmel, however, can apparently do it with no problem at all.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2076-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
But the desperation is setting in for the Democratic Party. They&#8217;re looking for a closing argument.
Their latest attempt comes courtesy of President Trump himself. President Trump was out on the campaign trail with Tucker Carlson last night in Glendale, Arizona, and he started talking about Liz Cheney. Here is what he had to say:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
🚨To every FAKE NEWS reporter taking President Trump’s words out of context:
President Trump was CLEARLY explaining that warmongers like Liz Cheney are very quick to start wars and send other Americans to fight them, rather than go into combat themselves.<a href="https://t.co/UlHvKszEIY">pic.twitter.com/UlHvKszEIY</a>
&mdash; Karoline Leavitt (@kleavittnh) <a href="https://twitter.com/kleavittnh/status/1852339440208810004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
I actually don&#8217;t like the Chicken Hawk argument. It was crap when it was trotted out against George W. Bush and all of his supporters back in the 2000s and I think it’s crap now. I don&#8217;t think congressmen are sitting there thinking, “Well, it&#8217;s not me, so I&#8217;m just going to send troops.”
The reality is, there are wide differences of opinion about foreign policy among people who have served in the military and people who have not served in the military. So, I don’t like the Chicken Hawk argument because it&#8217;s specious, empty, and foolish.
But that is not the rip on Trump. What they are ripping Trump for is the part where he said, “Let&#8217;s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her&#8230;”
They&#8217;re claiming he wants her assassinated. I&#8217;m sorry, but that’s just not true. It&#8217;s not real. Trump is not calling for the killing of Liz Cheney. He&#8217;s clearly making the exact same argument the entire Left made about the entire Right during the period 2002 to 2008 in which they said, “You guys are really sanguine about sending troops into harm&#8217;s way, but very few of you have served in the military and it would be totally different if you were on the front lines with barrels trained at you.”
Liz Cheney then put out a <a href="https://x.com/Liz_Cheney/status/1852292100844621974">statement</a> saying:
<blockquote>This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.</blockquote>
Listen, it&#8217;s not my fault you can&#8217;t speak English or that you&#8217;re being radically dishonest by taking President Trump out of context.
Then, this was the literal headline today over at <a href="https://www.drudgereport.com/">Drudge</a>:
<blockquote>TRUMP CALLS FOR CHENEY&#8217;S EXECUTION
WANTS MILITARY TRIBUNAL
ARIZONA AG INVESTIGATES!
HARRIS CONDEMNS HIS VIOLENT RHETORIC</blockquote>
That&#8217;s not remotely true.
And then there was this one from the <a href="https://www.the-express.com/news/politics/153330/vile-trump-shot-liz-cheney">Daily Express</a>:
<blockquote>Trump says Liz Cheney should be &#8216;shot in the face&#8217; by nine guns in sickening fantasy.
Donald Trump has caused controversy by suggesting Liz Cheney should have &#8220;guns trained on her face&#8221; in an alarming firing squad fantasy.</blockquote>
Not a fact. That&#8217;s not remotely what he said. 
This is the stupidest game — and they&#8217;re now playing this game full-time. They&#8217;re finding things that Trump says that are actually unobjectionable on their face. You can disagree with the argument, but the actual language is being skewed and twisted in order to achieve something that Trump never said.

I informed you a little bit earlier this week that I got a message from The New York Times in which they essentially were attempting to pressure YouTube into censoring all sorts of conservative podcast videos.
The claim was that I was engaged in election misinformation; the entire email was all about how I essentially needed to be shut down by YouTube. If you&#8217;re demonetized on YouTube, they also shut down your reach.
When I say that there is a Democratic Legacy Media Human Centipede, it&#8217;s because that’s the reality. The entire goal of that Centipede is to shut down anyone and everyone who disagrees with them. So Media Matters brought out a study — apparently behind closed doors — and fed it to The New York Times, which then attempted to get comments from people like me, Tucker Carlson, and a bunch of other people on the Right in which they were essentially attempting to elicit a response. They were suggesting that we are all election deniers and engaged in misinformation so YouTube could shut us down.
But just in case you thought that the email was not a part of a coordinated hit, within 48 hours I got an email from — you guessed it — The Washington Post. 
It stated: 
<blockquote>Hi, Ben. I&#8217;m a tech reporter at The Washington Post. My colleagues and I are working on a story that examines the role podcasts are playing in casting doubt on the integrity of the 2024 election. The piece includes interviews with researchers who say podcasts are an especially effective medium for such claims because of how technically challenging it is for companies to do content moderation. </blockquote>
So what does that mean? The suggestion here is that companies ought to be doing content moderation. Which companies? Presumably, social media companies ought to be shutting down, once again, shows like this one. YouTube ought to shut down the show, according to The Washington Post. Or perhaps he was talking about Spotify or perhaps iTunes or perhaps advertisers. 
Back to the email:
<blockquote>A Washington Post analysis found that The Ben Shapiro Show is one of many nationally prominent podcasts that have aired these claims. Our analysis, based on your October interview with former President Trump, where you referred to Democrats as professionals at ballot harvesting and Trump referred to them as cheaters. Could you please let me know if you have any comment? My deadline is 5 p.m. Eastern today. </blockquote>
Notice the claim. The claim is that I was engaged in election misinformation by referring to Democrats as professionals at ballot harvesting. That, apparently, is election misinformation.
But here is <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/republicans-ballot-harvesting-fraud-claims-rcna151952" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> in May 2024: 
<blockquote>Democrats, for their part, have long enjoyed successes in mail voting, fueled in part by ballot collection where it is legal. The Democratic National Committee said it plans to spend ‘tens of millions of dollars in support of voting programs like mail and early voting.</blockquote>
NBC News, you election deniers. You engage in election misinformation every day. 
Of course, they don&#8217;t believe that I&#8217;m engaged in election misinformation. The thing they&#8217;re mad about is that I had Donald Trump on my show. It&#8217;s not just me they want to censor. They also want to censor Trump. They believe that it is some sort of informational crime for me to have on the former and likely future president of the United States.
That&#8217;s insane. It&#8217;s totally crazy. They think we are supposed to censor President Trump and that I can&#8217;t say things that are perfectly true about ballot harvesting, which is one of the most corrupt practices in America. It&#8217;s legal but it’s also corrupt.
The Washington Post has become a joke, so much so that Jeff Bezos had to issue an <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/28/jeff-bezos-washington-post-trust/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">editorial</a> just a couple of days ago titled “The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media,” in which according to Gallup, Americans think the news media stink.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2075-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Perhaps if Jeff Bezos actually wants to correct things at The Washington Post, it&#8217;s not enough to stop them from endorsing Kamala Harris on the editorial pages. Perhaps he ought to look to his reporting staff who are now doing the bidding of places like Media Matters as well as obviously coordinating with the Democratic apparatus to unleash two separate stories that came out almost simultaneously.
One of those stories came from The New York Times and one from The Washington Post on Wednesday. Both of these stories say the same thing: that conservative media ought to be destroyed.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/31/technology/youtube-election-conspiracy-theories-misinformation.html">piece</a> had a big graphic including people ranging from me to Tim Pool to Rudy Giuliani to Tucker Carlson to Michael Knowles. The title? “Election Falsehoods Take Off on YouTube as It Looks the Other Way.”
Obviously, YouTube is not censoring things the way The New York Times would like YouTube to censor things.
Think for a second how truly sick this is. You have members of the media, members of the press, people who are supposed to be about the free dissemination of speech, actively asking YouTube to shut down people they don&#8217;t like. And again, this is not about election misinformation because included in their litany of sins is me <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/31/technology/youtube-election-conspiracy-theories-misinformation.html">saying things</a> such as Democrats set the rules on ballot harvesting and mail-in voting, all of which is true, as reported by The New York Times. 
They quote me saying the Democrats rigged voting rules in 2020. What I actually said is that the Democratic Party rigged many of the voting rules in advance in order to advance mail-in voting and ballot harvesting. That&#8217;s also true. It was reported by both The New York Times and CBS News.
Nico Grant, the ridiculous reporter at the New York Times, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/31/technology/youtube-election-conspiracy-theories-misinformation.html">wrote:</a>
<blockquote> In June 2023, YouTube decided to stop fighting the most persistent strain of election misinformation in the United States: the falsehood that President Biden stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump. Within months, the largest video platform became a home for election conspiracy theories, half-truths and lies. They in turn became a source of revenue for YouTube, which announced growing quarterly ad sales on Tuesday.</blockquote>
So again, the theory here is that YouTube is making money off election denial.
Now, why would you quote me in that context? This is the dead giveaway. I&#8217;m the dead giveaway in the story.
Why?
Because I never said that Trump won the 2020 election. I&#8217;ve said repeatedly that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, at least by the counted ballots, by the state certification procedure. In fact, I challenged, between November and January, Trump&#8217;s claims that he had the legal capacity to overthrow the election or that Mike Pence did.
Yet they include me in the article anyway, because it&#8217;s not about election misinformation: it&#8217;s about destroying everyone on the Right. That&#8217;s what The New York Times wants to do.
The New York Times writes:
<blockquote>While Media Matters is a partisan organization that regularly criticizes conservatives, reporters and academics frequently cite it as a source on YouTube misinformation because it devotes significant resources to tracking the vast platform.
The New York Times independently verified the research, examining all of the videos identified by Media Matters and determining whether YouTube placed ads or Fact Check labels on them.</blockquote>
So the Times is attempting to justify precisely why they cribbed Media Matters’ work. My favorite part of the story from The New York Times is what follows: I put up a <a href="https://x.com/benshapiro/status/1851061597286060401" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thread on X </a>that received millions of views. Tucker Carlson also released a screenshot of his replies to The New York Times reporter, basically telling them to go f*** themselves, which, coincidentally, is what I told a New York Times reporter.
Here is the quote about our comments: 
<blockquote>Mr. Carlson and Mr. Shapiro did not directly respond to a series of questions, but attacked reporting from The New York Times.</blockquote>
I did notice that when I put up the thread and then I sent this reporter the thread — which was extensive — he could have quoted that thread.
But he can&#8217;t quote the thread. If he quotes the thread, it totally debunks his entire stupid story and shows the underlying motive.
If you thought that that was just a one-off, it was not.
Only hours later, The Washington Post put up <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/10/31/podcasts-election-fraud-misinformation/">their piece</a>, titled, “In the podcast election, top shows cast doubt on integrity of 2024 vote.” 
The Post added: 
<blockquote>Claims aired on the free-flowing and beloved medium could undercut trust in the results of a razor-tight election, experts say.</blockquote>
“Experts”? As always, they just go and find somebody who works at a leftist outlet such as the Brookings Institution, and get them to say the thing the reporter wants them to say. “Experts say” is just a guise for something the writer wants to say. I can find an expert to say anything in America. It&#8217;s so easy.
Take the lead picture in the Post piece. It&#8217;s a terrible old picture of me. (I always enjoy when I&#8217;m shown in legacy media because they find whatever is the worst picture of me and put it on there; it&#8217;s kind of amusing.) I’m Captain Election Misinformation, according to the Post.

But the only reference to me in the story refers to the fact that Donald Trump appeared on my program. What was the big problem with anything that I said? 
They can&#8217;t identify the thing that I said: the problem doesn&#8217;t exist. Instead, they just say:
<blockquote>During October appearances on the Shapiro and Rogan shows, Trump said that Democrats were cheating and that the media was interfering with the election.</blockquote>
I have a question: Is it my job to not have Donald Trump on my show? Is that the implication by The Washington Post, which boasts “Democracy Dies in Darkness”?
The Post continued: 
<blockquote>Asked for comment, Shapiro in a post on X cast this story as part of  ‘the legacy media’s coordinated attempt to DESTROY conservative media.’</blockquote>
Yes. That&#8217;s exactly what it is when you come out with the story at the same exact time as The New York Times, and both of you are cribbing from the work of Media Matters, and both of you are lying about the purpose of your story. Of course it&#8217;s an attempt to destroy conservative media one week out from an election.
I&#8217;m sorry I thwarted your little stupid plans to get YouTube to shut down shows like this one five days before an election.
Your little October surprise has fallen flat.
YouTube, to its credit, has said this stuff isn&#8217;t election misinformation. It doesn&#8217;t violate their rules, and so they are not going to ban it. So good for YouTube.
But that doesn&#8217;t mean that the attempt didn&#8217;t happen. And again, this is all a broader part of the attempt by legacy media to strangle in the crib any sort of competitive media and any social media structure that refuses to abide by its rules.

Haunting the Kamala Harris campaign is a ghost, the ghost of president present.
I&#8217;m talking, of course, about Joe Biden. Remember him? He&#8217;s still at least technically alive, wandering the landscape in search of cameras. Every time he opens his mouth, something bad happens to Kamala Harris.
The Kamala Harris campaign does not want to be associated with Biden. They&#8217;re embarrassed by him, but they still have to pretend he is important — because, otherwise, she&#8217;d be responsible for everything.
The Harris campaign doesn’t believe the president is helpful. You can see why, because every time Biden says something, it is awful.
Biden makes dumb statements all the time. On Tuesday, he suggested he wanted to take comedian Tony Hinchcliffe for a swim. (I don&#8217;t know what that meant. Was he being romantic or murderous?) 
Biden <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKHm0q88ynM">stated</a>:
<blockquote>That&#8217;s why today I&#8217;m proud to announce we&#8217;re delivering $3 billion in funding for my Inflation Reduction Act to help clean up and modernize ports in 27 different states and territories from Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and beyond, including, yes, Puerto Rico. I’d like to take that guy for a swim out there.</blockquote>
Why is that important? It’s important because for the last several days, since the Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, the Democrats have been suggesting that Tony Hinchcliffe — a comedian unrelated to the Trump campaign who made a bad joke about Puerto Rico being a floating island of garbage — was a stand-in for the entire Trump campaign. Yet Hinchcliffe is a comedian who is not, in fact, running for president and has nothing to do with the Trump campaign in any capacity, formal or informal. He was just there, he spoke, and that was it.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2074-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
If they wanted to make a three-day controversy about how Puerto Rico is an “island of garbage” (because a comedian said so) and attribute that to Trump, who denounced it, they should have been ready for Biden to say something nasty.
And Biden, the current sitting president of the United States — who called his political opponents enemies of the Republic in a speech in front of a blood-red Independence Hall, suggesting that ultra-super MAGA Republicans were effectively traitors to the country and who labeled Donald Trump a Nazi — did just that.
In a Zoom interview Biden was conducting from his basement, he decided to call half of Americans “garbage.” First, looking at what he said is important, and next, explaining how the White House and media are trying to spin this one is equally important. The cover-up is as bad as the crime.
What Biden said was truly awful. It was worse than Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables,” worse than Obama’s “bitter clingers.” Democrats have labeled their political opponents the trash heap of humanity for years. This was the apotheosis of that — a direct outgrowth of believing that Trump is a Hitler figure and all of his followers are brownshirts. If those statements continue to be made over and over — such as repeating that Trump is a Nazi and he holds Nazi rallies — saying his followers are garbage is not a leap, which is what Biden said. 
Biden <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-trump-supporters-garbage-puerto-rico-comic-e62ccf9108ba0ca8d1ee694f91a6867e">said</a>, “And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ … The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”
The cover-up for Biden has been astounding. This is not a Rorschach test. This is not a blob on a piece of paper. You can hear clearly what he&#8217;s saying. There is no doubt about what he&#8217;s saying because it&#8217;s on tape.
“The only garbage I see out there is his supporters.” Inflection: down. End of sentence. It&#8217;s clear he was saying that you, I, and all the people who support Donald Trump are garbage. Everyone who does not support Kamala Harris is garbage.
There is no other way to read it or hear it. But don&#8217;t worry, the media were going to do their work. The media pretended — all joking aside — that there was an apostrophe in that sentence.
Now, I know you&#8217;re thinking, “Wait, where&#8217;s the apostrophe? I don&#8217;t understand.”
Here is how the media have been attempting to characterize this, and it is astonishing. They are trying to claim that what he actually said was, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s.” “Supporter’s.” Singular with an apostrophe “s”. They are claiming Biden was only talking about Tony Hinchcliffe: “The only garbage out there is Tony Hinchcliffe garbage.”
Politico’s Jonathan LeMire attempted to <a href="https://x.com/JDVance/status/1851430778254876701" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rewrite</a> what Biden said by adding an apostrophe.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a></h3>
So they attempted to use phantom apostrophes to save Joe Biden from himself. They&#8217;re simply rewriting Biden in real time. And Biden put out <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1851436643498037614" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a statement</a> later in which he claimed he was talking about Hinchcliffe.
Who else doesn&#8217;t believe him? Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, who was overlooked as Kamala Harris&#8217;s vice presidential pick. He <a href="https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1851441958641606738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans, even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn&#8217;t support.”
But Kamala Harris won’t denounce Joe Biden because she&#8217;s afraid of him and the base of the Democratic Party who actually do believe that Trump supporters are garbage.
This is a feature of the Democratic Party, not the bug. This is part and parcel of the entire Democratic agenda: People who support Donald Trump, according to Joe Biden and most of the rest of the Democratic Party, are garbage.
It&#8217;s perfectly obvious what Biden was saying. But the media and Democrats want to make you believe he didn’t say it.
Absolute trash.
And they think we are morons.

Comedy

On Monday, I was wondering what exactly the October surprise from the Democrats and the media would be; one week out from an election and they haven’t had much. Is attacking comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and supposed jokes about Puerto Ricans all they had? Is that really all they had in their bag?
And then I received a text.
It came from a reporter at the New York Times, and read as follows:
<blockquote>Good day, Mr. Shapiro. I hope you&#8217;re well. I&#8217;m Nico Grant, a reporter at The New York Times. I wanted to give you an opportunity to comment for an upcoming article that takes a look at how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on YouTube.
We rely on an analysis conducted by researchers at Media Matters for America. Could you kindly provide us with a comment or decline to comment by the end of day tomorrow, Tuesday, October 29? Thank you so much for your time. 
Here are points we plan to include. Media Matters identified 286 YouTube videos between May and August that contained election misinformation, including narratives that have been debunked or not supported with credible evidence. Researchers identified videos posted by you in those four months that contain election misinformation. We feature a clip of you saying, “ &#8230; Your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting &#8230;”
I also have a few questions: 1. Are you a member of the YouTube partner program? 2. If so, how frequently does YouTube demonetize your videos? 3. Has YouTube sent you messages, emails or notices in the last year that your content contains misinformation? Thanks for your time. </blockquote>
This is not just a text. This is the October surprise.
Here&#8217;s what the New York Times was planning, as they were pretty obviously and clearly working with Media Matters for America, which is a far-Left radical organization, started by David Brock in an overt attempt to destroy all conservative media. Media Matters was launched to astroturf boycotts on conservative media and anyone who would advertise with conservative media.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2073-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Media Matters became incredibly famous by essentially launching secondary boycotts on people like Rush Limbaugh. They&#8217;ve tried it with us at Daily Wire as well. They&#8217;ve tried it with our hosts. This is what they do.
The New York Times is overtly, clearly admitting to using Media Matters research in order to pressure YouTube to demonetize people on the Right and destroy them, because when you are demonetized, that also limits your reach.
They want to destroy the dissemination of information from people on the Right one week prior to an election.
That&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on here. It turns out the October surprise from our media, along with Media Matters — again, both Media Matters and the New York Times are Democratic apparatchiks — is an overt attempt to silence dissent one week before an election.
That is what this is about. That is what the text is about. That&#8217;s the entire game. They run an article on the front page in the New York Times saying that YouTube is subsidizing election misinformation which, in turn, pressures YouTube (owned by Google, the number one donor to the Democratic Party) to censor any and all hosts, any and all information that disagrees with the Left.
The important point is: They didn’t just reach out to me. As we now know, they reached out to pretty much everybody on the Right, other hosts from The Daily Wire, people like Tucker Carlson — everyone on the Right.
Why?
Because their goal is to shut the spigot off so you can&#8217;t get any information on places like YouTube. Thirty-seven percent of Americans get their news from YouTube, according to <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/social-media-and-news-fact-sheet/">Pew Research</a>.
Theoretically, that number is even higher because some people engage with news on YouTube without even knowing it. Political ads run on YouTube. It is possible to watch a non-political video and be pushed to a political video, watch for five minutes, and only then tune out.
Shutting off the spigot on news information one week in advance of an election: That is the New York Times’ trick.
Obviously, none of this is about election misinformation and about shutting down “bad information,” as everyone knows.
How do I know? Because they reached out to me about “election misinformation.” To me, of all people. If you listen to the show, you know I have been perfectly consistent since November of 2020 in that I believe Joe Biden won the 2020 election. I thought Donald Trump had every right to legally challenge that election, but I did not see the actual evidence that the allegations he was making about fraud in the election and the election itself were sufficient to overcome the state certification of the ballots.
So of all the people to come to about election misinformation, coming to me is absolute proof that this trick has nothing to do with election misinformation. Instead, it is about silencing anybody on the Right. That is the goal. It is always the goal for the Left. It&#8217;s always the goal for the New York Times.
Consider the craziness of this. The New York Times is supposed to be the tip of the spear in terms of freedom of the press and free speech; that same media outlet is overtly and clearly attempting to pressure the biggest video platform on planet Earth to shut off other press outlets.
That&#8217;s crazy. They say it&#8217;s a challenge to the press if Trump calls them “fake news.” Imagine if we at the Daily Wire called for the New York Times to be completely demonetized and shut down on social media because of misinformation. Would that not be a challenge to free speech principles?
It&#8217;s unbelievable.
What&#8217;s hilarious is the quote they sent me about “election misinformation,” where apparently I said, “Your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting…”
Really?
FiveThirtyEight <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/2020-election-changes-election-administration-laws/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in 2023, “One of the most striking aspects of the 2020 election was the unprecedented use of mail-in voting. Nearly half (43 percent) of all voters cast a ballot by mail in 2020, a record share, according to the latest Survey of the Performance of American Elections, a post-election poll of tens of thousands of registered voters run by MIT political scientist Charles Stewart III. Much of this was driven by COVID-19 — states changed voting rules and requirements to make it easier to vote by mail, and voters hoping to avoid crowded polling places in the middle of a pandemic took advantage.”
Wait, that sounds like rigging the voting rules in order to increase mail-in balloting.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a></h3>
Maybe they ought to fact-check CBS News about ballot harvesting. In 2020, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ballot-harvesting-collection-absentee-voting-explained-rules/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, “The Nevada Assembly passed legislation that would allow the state to mail a ballot to every registered voter, and the bill allows for third parties to collect ballots. Fierson argues that the threat to Postal Service funding and the warning of mail delays ‘makes ballot assistance even more important.’ But critics argue it opens the door to abuse and interference. The Nevada law does not limit how many ballots a person can collect. The Trump reelection campaign filed a lawsuit against the measure in Nevada and in other states.”
Again, that sounds like rigging the rules so as to increase ballot harvesting.
In 2020, the late-breaking media interference came in the form of shutting down the Hunter Biden laptop story. The New York Post had the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the social media “bros” were pressured into taking down that story by both the press and by members of the federal intelligence agencies. They shut it down. They throttled it. They prevented dissemination of the story on places like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
Now, they are doing something even more overt. They are overtly attempting to shut down all conservative dissemination of information on the biggest video platform in existence one week in advance of an election.
If that&#8217;s not an attempt to rig an election, I don&#8217;t know what is.

I Got A Shocking Text From The New York Times

Elections

Misinformation

We are now one week and one day away from the biggest election of our lifetime, the 2024 election, and Donald Trump is not only closing fast, he is closing big.
On Sunday night, Donald Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden. He packed the house. 20,000 people showed up. There were tens of thousands of people in the streets outside. No real signs of protest.
If you look at the behavior of the two campaigns, it is pretty clear whom both campaigns think is ahead. Donald Trump believes he&#8217;s ahead. Kamala Harris seems to believe that Trump is ahead — and you can tell because there’s a desperation play by the Kamala Harris campaign and her surrogates to call Trump Hitler.
Tim Walz suggested that the Madison Square Garden rally was just like a Hitler rally. The inestimably stupid Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-trump-hate-rally-was-about-inciting-violence-against-latinos-blacks-childless-voters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the same thing. Harris herself did a little speech from the vice presidential residence likening Trump to Hitler.
That&#8217;s Harris’ closing pitch. It takes a lot of gall to see just what happened at Madison Square Garden on Sunday as some sort of Nazi rally.
There were Israeli flags hanging from the rafters. There were tons of Orthodox Jews who showed up — and Orthodox Jews are going to vote for Donald Trump virtually unanimously.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2072-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Everybody thinks that what Trump does at these rallies is very corny because he has Lee Greenwood singing &#8220;God Bless the U.S.A.,&#8221; because there are lots of American flags and lots of MAGA hats. It looks like a family reunion. That is the appeal.
And that appeal can&#8217;t be understood by the more sophisticated set, but it is a very real appeal nonetheless.
Trump was in a very good mood, joking about Harris being lost when her teleprompter broke. Last Friday, he went on Joe Rogan’s show, and he was great. He feels like he’s winning.
The other evidence that Trump is winning is not just that he is happy and that the person campaigning happy tends to be the person who&#8217;s ahead, it’s also that Kamala Harris is clearly flailing.
Harris was asked over the weekend by a reporter about the internal polling from her campaign and she answered that her internal polling was her &#8220;instinct,&#8221; adding,  “I let the campaign people deal with all that other stuff.&#8221; 

But here’s the kicker: she doesn&#8217;t have any political instincts. She doesn&#8217;t have positions. Everything she does is poll-tested. Everything that she&#8217;s doing right now is a trial balloon, which she then immediately shoots down if it doesn&#8217;t get the response that she wants.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a></h3>
Everything seems to be failing for her. She held a rally over the weekend and Beyoncé was supposed to show up. Tons of people showed up because they figured Beyoncé would perform and they would get a free Beyoncé concert.
One problem: the packed crowd showed up and so did Beyoncé, who spoke for a couple of minutes, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/beyonce-fans-are-annoyed-she-didnt-perform-at-kamalas-rally" target="_blank" rel="noopener">waved to the crowd and left</a>.
Nothing is working for Harris right now.
And you can tell the preemptive sense of panic has totally set in among Democrats in a major way.

Donald Trump Holds Campaign Rally At Madison Square Garden In NYC

Trump Rocks Madison Square Garden, Kamala Panics

Madison Square Garden

New York City

We are now less than two weeks out from Election Day. The state of the race is that Donald Trump appears to be ahead going into the homestretch.
In fact, poll analyst reporter Mark Halperin <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1848747784410951918">said</a> as much yesterday, claiming that if the early voting numbers hold up the way they are right now, and if the date of voting goes the way that it did in 2020, Trump will have wrapped up this election before the Election Day even begins — because Democrats basically need to win it in the pregame or they&#8217;re going to lose it day of. 
Halperin explained, saying:
<blockquote>Let&#8217;s lead with the lead, as they say in journalism. If the early vote numbers stay the way they are, and that&#8217;s a big if, we’ll almost certainly know before Election Day who&#8217;s going to win the election. We&#8217;re going to talk a lot about that: the reasons why Democrats might be underperforming, the prospect that they&#8217;ll recover. But again, make no mistake, if these numbers hold up in the states where we can understand even partially what the data is like, we&#8217;ll know that Donald Trump&#8217;s going to be president on Election Day. </blockquote>
Halperin&#8217;s not the only one saying this. The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/22/early-voting-republicans-democrats-trump-harris/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on this yesterday as well:
<blockquote>Dozens of states have opened in-person early-voting locations, and turnout has been robust. In Georgia, more than 1.6 million people had cast in-person ballots by midmorning Tuesday — nearly one-third of the total vote from four years ago. North Carolina hit 1.4 million Tuesday, the sixth day of early voting. And in Nevada, Republicans voting in person have outnumbered Democrats — a reversal from four years ago. Nationwide, more than 18 million Americans have cast ballots in person or by mail.</blockquote>
Republican participation is radically up from where it was in 2020, after Trump encouraged people not to vote early. Now, tons of Republicans are voting early, and that means in states like Nevada, there are serious danger signs for Democrats. 
Attorney Jon Ralston, an excellent reporter at the Nevada Independent, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/22/serious-danger-emerges-for-kamala-harris-as-republicans-open-early-voting-in-nevada-with-lead-over-democrats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has noted</a> that since the rise of the political machine that late former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid built for Democrats, this has never happened. The Republican turn out amounts are unprecedented in modern times, leading early voting in Nevada. Harris is running really, really weak in the early voting thus far.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2071-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Again, it could be that that&#8217;s cannibalizing the day of voting. It&#8217;s possible the people who are voting right now are people who would have normally voted on Election Day, or it&#8217;s possible that Republicans have actually gotten smart and many of the people who weren&#8217;t going to show up on Election Day are now voting early just to get it done.
By the way, if you are voting early, that is good because the party for which you are voting can see that you have voted. They don&#8217;t have to waste campaign resources door knocking if they already know that you voted. A senior official working on Harris&#8217;s campaign is already sounding the alarm about the Veep&#8217;s narrowing electoral path.
According to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democrats-brace-crack-blue-wall-signs-north-carolina-slipping-rcna176046" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>, three sources with knowledge of the campaign strategy say the campaign is worried the blue wall could at least, in part, go red this November. One senior campaign official told NBC there&#8217;s been a thought that Michigan or Wisconsin may fall off and North Carolina may no longer be in reach. If the Democrats lose North Carolina and Michigan or Wisconsin, it is difficult to see how they will win the election because, at that point, they would have to peel off Georgia. 
<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/10/22/kamala-harris-reassure-voters-liberal-00184879" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politico</a> is reporting the same, pointing out that time is ticking off the clock for Harris: 
<blockquote>Vice President Kamala Harris and former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney descended on the crucial Milwaukee suburbs Monday night and, sitting side by side, delivered compelling political sermons.
The problem was they were preaching to the converted. 
 
The event was explicitly aimed at those moderates and onetime Republicans who remain up for grabs, and may decide the election, but the rhetoric seemed better suited for those in the audience wearing “The Lincoln Project” and “,LA” t-shirts.</blockquote>
They&#8217;ve got a problem on their hands, and so it is now time to pull out all the stops, which could be that Harris could run a better campaign. That, of course, is highly unlikely. She&#8217;s not going to run a better campaign because she&#8217;s not a good candidate.
Hilariously, there was an op-ed in The Hill two days ago wondering if perhaps Joe Biden was, after all, a better candidate than Kamala Harris, which of course, is what Joe Biden has been saying all along, despite being dead. 
 
Kamala Harris, for her part, can&#8217;t even answer simple questions as to whether Biden is sentient and alive. She will not answer questions on the decline of the person she shoved off the back of the train and stole the nomination of.
In <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/transcript-president-kamala-harris-interview-nbc-news-hallie-jackson-rcna176330" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an interview</a> with NBC News, Harris attempted to explain Joe Biden&#8217;s mental state when pointblank asked about him: 
<blockquote>JACKSON: You have made it clear that you believe this is a binary choice between you and Donald Trump. That’s — those are candidates that are on the ballot, of course.
HARRIS: There’s only two choices…yes. 
JACKSON: Of course, yes, but, and I know that Joe Biden is not on the ballot, I understand that, but the reason that you are at the top of the ticket is because he dropped out of this race. And so I want to ask you, and it was largely because of that debate performance back in June. You defended him in the days before and in the days after, as you were campaigning for another four years for President Biden. Can you say that you were honest with the American people about what you saw in those moments with President Biden, as you were with him again and again, repeatedly in that time? 
HARRIS: Of course. Joe Biden is an — extremely accomplished, experienced and capable in every way that anyone would want of their president. Absolutely.
JACKSON: And you never saw anything like what happened at the debate night behind closed doors with him? 
HARRIS: It was a bad debate. People have bad debates. That — he is absolutely…
JACKSON: But that’s the reason why you’re here, and he’s not running for the top of the ticket. 
HARRIS: Well, you’d have to ask him if that’s the only reason why. 
JACKSON: What do you think?
HARRIS: I am running for President of the United States. Joe Biden is not, and my presidency will be about bringing a new generation of leadership to America that is focused on the work that we need to do, to invest in the ambitions and aspirations of the American people. </blockquote>
This lady has absolutely nothing. The reason that she has lost all steam is because she has nothing. She cannot even answer the simple question, “Why are you in that chair and Joe Biden isn&#8217;t in that chair?” — when everyone in America knows the answer to that question, including, of course, Kamala Harris. 
Harris has basically been relegated to throwing out bribes to various constituency groups. Just a couple of weeks ago, she pledged to hand out $20,000 to black people in forgivable loans. She is now doing the same for Latinos because she&#8217;s been losing Latino votes. 
In a statement yesterday, she <a href="https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1848713701848658388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote:</a>
<blockquote>Donald Trump has disrespected and insulted Latino men in communities. As president, I will invest in them.” What does that mean? It means that she will “help Latino men and others start and grow small businesses with no interest loans or deferred loan repayments, and fully forgivable loans up to $20k.</blockquote>
Bribery. We are now in the realm of open bribery. By the way, you are not allowed to give out government grants by race. That is illegal in the United States.
This is her campaign and it&#8217;s failing.

Now the time has come for October surprises. The Democrats have a problem when it comes to surprises with Trump. This has been true for years because Trump is a monster made out of mud. When you throw more mud at a monster made out of mud, it turns out he just looks like a monster made out of mud. Trump is the black socks of presidential candidates. Black socks never get dirty. The longer you wear them, the blacker they get.
That is who Donald Trump is. The more you throw at him, the more he just looks like Donald Trump because he is the most well-established political figure in the American mind in my lifetime — and my parents lifetime as well.
There is no one in America who does not have an opinion about Trump right now. The question for undecided voters is not what they think about Trump. The question is what they think about Harris.
Trump&#8217;s numbers have been incredibly steady for the entirety of this election cycle. In polling, Trump&#8217;s national average polling has been between 46% and 48% of the entirety of this race. Meanwhile, there is much more variability for Harris.
So, the Democrats are getting desperate.

In order to win the election, Kamala Harris has suggested Donald Trump is unserious.
She stated on Monday that Donald Trump is fundamentally an unserious candidate, but the consequences of his presidency will be so serious.
<blockquote>“In many, many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man, but the consequences of him being president of the United States are brutally serious,” she whined. “There are things that he says that will be the subject of skits and laughter and jokes, but words have meaning coming from someone who aspires to stand behind the seal of the president of the United States.”</blockquote>
Harris and Trump are virtually polar opposites. Trump says a lot of stuff. He makes jokes about Arnold Palmer&#8217;s business and he says funny things about McDonald&#8217;s and he makes jokes all the time. He says things that are really out of the box and it&#8217;s hard to take them fully seriously because he&#8217;s not fully serious when he says them. And even when he is fully serious, does he really mean them 100%? Half the time, no.
But — his actual policy is quite serious. That has always been the gap for Donald Trump: his image is sort of buffoonish and goofballish, but his actual policy is hard-nosed. 
His actual policy accomplishments are quite real, namely: a functional economy, growing innovation, low inflation, a foreign policy record that is second to none in the annals of American history. No major foreign wars, new peace deals in the Middle East, intimidation of our enemies, strengthening our alliances, particularly in the Middle East. And despite all the talk about how he weakened our alliances with NATO, that&#8217;s actually not true. He simply requested and succeeded in getting those countries to pay a larger share of their own GDP toward national defense.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2070-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
So Donald Trump has a patina of unseriousness, and underneath he&#8217;s a very serious policy candidate. That is why he is running the way he&#8217;s running in this election.
Kamala Harris is precisely the opposite. She tries to pose as serious, but underneath it is a deep unseriousness. Beneath that façade is total emptiness. She&#8217;s a shell of a politician, and below it is just a vacuum. 
Every day she betrays the fact that there ain&#8217;t nothing there. There&#8217;s just nothing there. 
Yesterday, for example, she was doing a presser. She couldn&#8217;t even call on the reporters herself. Her campaign has to stage-manage her the way they were stage-managing Joe Biden. You could actually hear one of her campaign aides calling out the reporters because she can&#8217;t do it herself. 
Why are her aides hauling out their reporters? Why isn&#8217;t she doing it? Because she&#8217;s not capable. In fact, we are now learning that she has reduced her time on the campaign trail. According to <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/21/harris-scales-back-campaign-trail-presence-prepares-interviews/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Breitbart</a>, “Kamala Harris’s campaign reduced her time on the campaign trail this week, opting to prepare for an interview with NBC and a CNN town hall.”
These are not things you have to take time off from the campaign trail to do. They&#8217;re not. These are not things that require extra time off.
It&#8217;s one thing to say I&#8217;m taking two days off to prepare for a debate, so I have to study my opponent&#8217;s moves. I need to do a sort of lightning round with somebody playing Donald Trump. That would be understandable.
But an interview with NBC means you have to take time off the campaign trail? She has to take two days off the campaign trail, two weeks before the election, to prepare for an interview with NBC News, which has been overwhelmingly favorable to her, because she blew it with Bret Baier on Fox News?
A CNN town hall. How do you prepare for that? What does that preparation look like?
But here&#8217;s the thing about Kamala Harris: She has to prepare for everything.

The reason that the Left is so worked up about Donald Trump going to McDonald&#8217;s is because when Donald Trump went to McDonald&#8217;s, he was very comfortable in his own skin. By masquerading as a worker at McDonald&#8217;s, Trump was showing respect to people who work at McDonald&#8217;s and people who eat at McDonald&#8217;s, and he likes those people.
Kamala Harris is the kind of person who literally has to be prepared by her staff to do a small donor dinner. They&#8217;d put a fake dinner together so she could learn to speak with humans without downing an entire bottle of rosé.
Underneath the façade of a serious politician, there is nothing serious there.

US-VOTE-POLITICS-HARRIS

Kamala Harris’ Unserious Campaign

We are two weeks out from the election and Donald Trump currently has all the momentum. Not some of the momentum— all the momentum.
This has been a wild race because the momentum shifts have been insane. When Joe Biden was in the race, Trump had all the momentum. Then Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris was put into the middle of the race and suddenly there was “joy” and “wonder” and all the momentum shifted over to the Democrats.
And then the air slowly came out of the balloon.
It appears that Donald Trump has regained momentum not only in the swing states, but also in the battleground states. According to the Real Clear Politics <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polling average</a>, Trump leads in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia.
All he needs to do to win the election is win Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia and either Michigan, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, and he is leading in the last three, according to Real Clear Politics. He also happens to be leading in Nevada.
So if the election were held today — no tossups — he could win 312 electoral votes.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2069-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Trump is going to win the election. In order for Kamala Harris to win this election, she probably needs to be up at least two and a half to three points in the popular vote. She does not appear to have those numbers behind her right now, unless the polls are very, very wrong.
What&#8217;s more, her campaign is flagging. She&#8217;s totally disconnected from the American people. In fact, she is attempting to reach out to the Liz Cheney voter. There aren&#8217;t that many of those folks, the disaffected Republicans who love Liz Cheney and now are going to move on over from Donald Trump to Kamala Harris. Those people are incredibly rare. That number is vanishingly small.
But according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/candidates-step-up-their-attacks-after-trump-erases-harriss-lead-d280408b?mod=hp_lead_pos1">The Wall Street Journal:</a>
<blockquote>Harris is expected to hold events on Monday with Cheney in suburbs in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. She&#8217;s also hosting separate get-out-the-vote rallies later in the week with former President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama in Georgia and Michigan, swing states where Harris needs to run up large margins in the urban centers and suburbs. So she&#8217;s now relying on a halo effect from the Obamas to bring out the black vote in Georgia and Michigan.</blockquote>
How much is she flailing? She&#8217;s flailing so much that the Washington Post editorial board <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/20/semiquincentennial-america-birthday-harris-independence/">put out a piece</a> saying that she should commit to having a big 250th birthday celebration for the country in 2026, to recapture the feeling of patriotism by pledging that in July of 2026, she would throw a giant party for the American semiquincentennial.
If this is what’s left in her bag, she’s got nothing.
Over the weekend, it was Kamala Harris&#8217;s birthday. Kamala Harris decided she was going to celebrate it with Stevie Wonder. She went to a historically black church and she did some sort of birthday routine with Stevie Wonder.
Meanwhile, Trump was at the Steelers-Jets game, getting standing ovations and having people run around the field with pro-Trump signs.
And that wasn&#8217;t the best thing that Trump did all weekend.
The Left lost their mind because Donald Trump did something unthinkable. He went to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-barbara-lee-trump-working-at-mcdonalds-shows-hes-not-well" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McDonald&#8217;s</a> and worked the fry station and the drive-thru window.
That was old school politicking in the United States. It was charming. It was funny. It is meant to highlight the disconnect between what Kamala Harris says she is and what she is.
You’ll recall that she has now claimed multiple times that she worked at McDonald&#8217;s while she was a college student. And there are some fairly serious questions about whether that&#8217;s true or not. She has yet to name which McDonald&#8217;s she actually worked at. There are no records of her having worked at McDonald&#8217;s so far as anyone is aware.
It&#8217;s not really a big deal, except that it undermines any claim of authenticity that she has, because she is completely ersatz. She is the vinyl of actual human beings. She is not made of anything organic as a candidate.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28</a></h3>
So Trump went to a McDonald&#8217;s, worked the drive-thru window, and looked perfectly authentic there.
I don&#8217;t care whether you like Donald Trump or you hate Donald Trump. He is excellent at this. It&#8217;s a special quality that some politicians have; he is amazingly good one-on-one with people.
Trump speaks to people as though they are family. Donald Trump enjoys other human beings.
Kamala Harris doesn&#8217;t look like she&#8217;s ever met a human.
I&#8217;m not sure a lot of other politicians would be able to get away with what Trump did, except that he eats McDonald&#8217;s all the time. When he was president of the United States, he had a giant meal sponsored at the White House in the giant reception room that was filled with fast food from places like McDonald&#8217;s.
And at McDonald’s, he looked like he was having a good time, which is a good indication that he is winning, because you can often tell a winning campaign from a losing campaign by who&#8217;s having a better time on the campaign trail.
Losing campaigns are relentless and grueling and annoying, and the candidate seems weathered and doesn&#8217;t want to be there.
And that&#8217;s how it feels with Kamala Harris.
Trump is in a very good mood. He&#8217;s definitely enjoying this campaign.
Kamala Harris is definitely not enjoying this campaign.
And that should tell you something.

Trump’s Cruising, Kamala’s Crashing

Trump's Cruising, Kamala's Crashing

Kamala Harris should be impeached.
There are a bunch of reasons she could theoretically be impeached. For example, the fact that she has not yet invoked the 25th Amendment to get rid of her boss after defenestrating him from his nomination would be a pretty good-sized abdication of her constitutional duty.
The Constitution suggests that the vice president is chiefly responsible for getting rid of the president if the president is no longer compos mentis — if his brain no longer functions. That has been the case for Joe Biden for a long while. So clearly has that been the case, that Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party pushed him off the back of a train to get him out of the nomination. But they left him in office, which means she has abdicated her duty.
But there&#8217;s something more specific that I want to look at today. I want to go all the way back in the time machine to 2019. You remember that Donald Trump was impeached twice. The first time he was actually not impeached over January 6, he was impeached over Ukraine. 
Trump held a phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky in which he allegedly threatened Zelensky with the withdrawal of American military aid if Zelensky did not cause prosecutors in Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden&#8217;s relationship with Burisma, a natural gas company in Ukraine where Hunter Biden served on the board.
This was considered an impeachable offense. The basic idea for those who voted in favor of impeachment is that the president of the United States could not use foreign policy as a way of manufacturing election-related topics. You could not try to swivel an American election based on withholding aid from an American ally.
In fact, here is how the impeachment charges against Trump ran in 2019. As you may recall, he was, in fact, impeached in the House and then, of course, he was acquitted in the Senate. So, in 2019, here is how those Trump impeachment<a href="https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hres755/BILLS-116hres755enr.pdf"> charges</a> ran:
<blockquote>Using the powers of his high office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States Presidential election. He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, and influence the 2020 United States Presidential election to his advantage. President Trump also sought to pressure the Government of Ukraine to take these steps by conditioning official United States Government acts of significant value to Ukraine on its public announcement of the investigations.</blockquote>
Just to get it straight, the charge brought against Trump in 2019 was that Donald Trump had made the government of Ukraine do something beneficial to his reelection effort, and in order to do that he had threatened to withdraw their aid.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2068-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Now, fast forward to 2024. Israel is currently engaged in a war in the Gaza Strip. That war is with Hamas, a terror group that, as you will recall, a little more than a year ago, on October 7, 2023, invaded Israel, killed 1,200 people, and took 250 hostages back into the terror tunnels in the Gaza Strip. Ever since then, the Biden administration has been reticent to simply push for an Israeli victory.
The Biden administration’s foreign policy on its own terms makes no sense. Their foreign policy in Ukraine — where Ukraine is currently fighting a defensive war, where they are not going to achieve total victory, they&#8217;re not going to take back the Donbas region, and they&#8217;re not going to take back Crimea. Their foreign policy has been a total victory for Ukraine. Whatever Zelensky wants, he gets.
Then, when it comes to Israel — which does have dominant military power in the region — they demand Israel de-escalate the situation, and de-escalation needs to start right now.
Imagine for a second the Biden administration reversing those positions. What if, when it came to Ukraine, they said, “We are willing to provide the amount of aid necessary in order for you to protect our borders and we&#8217;re going to push for an off-ramp.” And when it came to Israel, they said, “You get what you need in order to destroy your enemies and we will stand back and watch with glee as you take out Hamas, Hezbollah, and all the Iranian proxy groups.”
That would make this a very different world right now. That foreign policy makes some sort of sense. In fact, that is something that the Biden administration should be doing right now.
I recently had a conversation with the father of Edan Alexander, an American hostage taken on October 7 and being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. He, quite rightly, suggested that if the Biden administration had a spine or any brains at all, they would be saying to Iran, “We will let Israel completely off the chain to destroy your nuclear facilities unless you get Hamas to release the hostages.” And tomorrow the hostages would be out. He&#8217;s totally right about that, by the way.
Instead, here is what is going on — and here&#8217;s where the impeachable offense comes in.
Right now, the Biden administration is putting open pressure on the State of Israel to let in aid to the Gaza Strip. Now, do I think this is really about aid for the Gaza Strip? I do not. Why? Because it is well known that Hamas is stealing about 50% of all aid now going into the Gaza Strip. 
According to the<a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/10/world-news/hamas-steals-humanitarian-aid-trucks-from-gaza-strip/"> New York Post</a>: 
<blockquote>Hamas terrorists were captured on video taking control of 47 of 100 aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip on Tuesday. “It’s no secret that Hamas takes control of humanitarian aid. We’ve already published here tapes of Hamas, in which you hear them say themselves they have no more room in their warehouses,” Channel 12‘s Almog Boker reported on Wednesday evening. “But this evening we also bring special documentation of what it looks like from inside, with cameras that are tracking it in real time,” he said.</blockquote>
Where is the aid supposed to be dropped off? Well, it&#8217;s supposed to be dropped with members of the UNRWA, which is a Hamas front group.
So yesterday, the Biden administration warned Israel that they would withdraw military aid if Israel did not facilitate large-scale entry of humanitarian aid into the northern Gaza Strip.
According to The<a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/biden-administration-issues-warning-to-israel-on-gaza-aid-0d4b5eea"> Wall Street Journal</a>:
<blockquote>In a letter to senior Israeli officials, dated Oct. 13 and signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the U.S. blamed Israel for a drastic drop in humanitarian aid into Gaza that contributed to starvation and widespread suffering, particularly in the enclave’s north where Israel launched a renewed ground operation nearly two weeks ago. The top American officials gave Israel 30 days to “reverse the downward humanitarian trajectory” or else it “may have implications” for future weapons transfers and funding under U.S. law.
Blinken and Austin specifically cite a part of Foreign Assistance Act that bars the U.S. from providing security aid to any nation that “prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance.”
“We have seen Israel make changes before, and when they make changes, humanitarian assistance can increase,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Tuesday after the letter’s release.</blockquote>
Now, here is the reason I&#8217;m skeptical that the threat to withdraw aid is about the humanitarian assistance in the northern Gaza Strip.
Reason number one: Israel has been shipping enormous sums of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip for months. At this point, we are talking about basically 2,500 calories per person, per day in the Gaza Strip for months on end — into an area where the civilians are still largely aligned with Hamas and where Israeli hostages are still being held captive, including multiple Americans.
So, do I think this is about humanitarian assistance? No, I do not. I actually think they&#8217;re looking for a legal excuse to embargo Israel in order to threaten them not to do anything too big with Iran. 
Why?
Here&#8217;s where the other half of the story comes in.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28</a></h3>
The Washington Post<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/10/14/israel-iran-strike-nuclear-oil-military/"> recently reported</a> that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel will strike Iranian military, not nuclear or oil targets.
Buried in this Washington Post article, however, is a bit of a revelation. According to The Washington Post:
<blockquote>The White House had no immediate comment. The Israeli prime minister’s office said in a statement that “we listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interest.”</blockquote>
However, as the Post continues: 
<blockquote>The retaliatory action would be calibrated to avoid the perception of “political interference in the U.S. elections,” the official familiar with the matter said, signaling Netanyahu’s understanding that the scope of the Israeli strike has the potential to reshape the presidential race.</blockquote>
Let’s be very clear about what is happening right now. 
That admission, that this is about the U.S. presidential race, that there is pressure being put on the Israeli government not to retaliate against Iran — that pressure is being driven by electoral concerns along with the threat to withdraw military aid from Israel in order to get Israel to do less with Iran in advance of the election. Do you know what that looks like? That looks an awful lot like foreign political interference during an election year. That looks an awful lot like what Democrats impeached Donald Trump for in 2019.
When you put those two pieces of the puzzle together, that’s what it looks like. Number one, the United States openly threatening withdrawal of military aid to Israel, supposedly based on humanitarian assistance concerns, which is clearly not the case. Number two, the story that says Israel is going to hold back the full brunt of an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities in order to facilitate the election efforts of Kamala Harris.
That is the 2019 impeachment case in a nutshell.
Remember, Kamala Harris has been on every phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu for weeks. She&#8217;s in the room. There are pictures of her in the room. So, she and her campaign are saying to Netanyahu, “Don&#8217;t go too hard on Iran.” Simultaneously, the secretary of state is saying, “And by the way, you should just know your military aid might get put on hold.”
That sounds an awful lot like the 2019 impeachment charge against Donald Trump.
But I guess it&#8217;s fine, so long as it&#8217;s a Democrat. Which is, of course, the case.
The media apparently have no interest in whether or not foreign aid provisions are being violated, so long as we&#8217;re not talking about Ukraine and Donald Trump.

A couple years ago, I produced a few segments in which I answered viewers’ questions about dating. Rightly so; it’s a hot-button topic. I have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-do-you-know-theyre-the-one-candace-owens-answers-questions-on-dating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said it before</a> and I will say it again: Dating does not have to be as difficult as people make it out to be if you know what you are looking for in a significant other. So, I am revisiting some questions I have received over time to answer and give my thoughts.
<h4>Q: What are your thoughts on saving kissing for marriage?</h4>
My husband and I did not kiss until after we were engaged; however, that was mainly because of logistics and how quickly we got engaged. I don’t think kissing before marriage is a problem, and I don’t think it’s wrong to kiss someone before you get married. Ultimately, I would never expect someone to save kissing for marriage.
<h4>Q: What are your suggestions for a relationship in a rut with a lot of frustrations?</h4>
Some of the greatest words of wisdom I ever heard about being in a relationship was: When you’re dating someone, that is as good as it’s ever going to get. Many people believe if your relationship gets in a rut, marriage will be the solution to get out of that rut. They think <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/an-important-message-to-women-everywhere" target="_blank" rel="noopener">once you get married</a> and once you have children, the relationship will magically turn into “happily ever after.” (Women in particular hold this perspective, thinking that as soon as they get the ring, things will get better.) But that’s just not true. When you’re dating, you experience an emotional high, the relationship is fairly smooth, and you’re genuinely excited. If you start to see that taper off before you’re married, pay attention to those signs. You may not have found the person you’re meant to do life with.
<h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e9N_e6L7Xk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace&#8217;s full segment on dating</a></h4>
<h4>Q: As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-vulnerability-that-will-plague-generation-tiktoks-future">a Gen Zer</a>, I wonder where I can find masculine men?</h4>
This problem is in large part due to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-a-story-all-about-how-the-fresh-prince-did-not-become-a-king" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culture telling men</a> to be more effeminate — and I’m sure that’s super frustrating. <a href="https://store.dailywire.com/products/make-men-manly-again-t-shirt?_pos=1&amp;_sid=4ee384564&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Make men manly again.)</a> But what you will find is that the more effeminate men live in city bubbles, but when you move into the rest of America, you will run into farmers, rangers, men who are working with their hands, and masculine men. Masculine men do exist.
<h4>Q: Do you keep in touch with or follow any exes?</h4>
Absolutely not. I am incredibly conservative when it comes to this issue. If you are in a relationship with another man, it’s super disrespectful — especially in a marriage — to maintain a relationship with a previous partner. I have never gone along with the “it used to be more but now we’re just friends” bit either. This is a definite no for me.
<h4>Q: I seem to be more mature than guys my age which makes it hard to date and find someone who will commit. Any tips?</h4>
This is fairly common. Men take a bit longer to mature than women, but, on average, they seem to mature somewhere in their mid-twenties. There are always exceptions, but as a general rule, younger men just tend to be a little more immature than younger women. There are likely some biological aspects to this because, for example, women likely mature quicker because we have to carry children on a biological clock’s dictations. But even little girls like playing with dolls while little boys like to rough house. Men do, however, eventually grow into being ready to commit and in a serious relationship.
<h4>Q: What is the best place to meet <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/three-new-years-resolutions-for-women-on-the-internet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quality women</a> who aren’t fickle?</h4>
This answer is short and simple: church.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
<h4>Q: I have been with the same man for eight years. I called off our engagement because he’s still not ready, but we can’t seem to leave each other. Advice?</h4>
Leave. I knew two girls who went through a similar situation (relationships of about ten years each), and they both ended poorly. These women gave these men their best years. Meanwhile, men tend to age like fine wine — plus, they don’t have to worry so much about their reproductive vitality. That’s not the case for women. So, if you are giving someone years to make a decision and his decision is still “I don’t want to make a decision,” you are, unfortunately, a placeholder. He will likely meet another girl, get engaged quickly, and you will be left wondering what happened to the last decade of your life. I feel so terrible for women who have gone through this. But in both cases with the two women I knew, they knew they should have left earlier, but they didn’t muster the strength to do it. Have the strength to do it. Leave. Don’t be someone else’s placeholder.
<h4>Q: There is a girl I like, but I’m nervous to ask her on a date. How should I ask?</h4>
Just ask her. The worst thing that can happen is that she says no. And while you’ll have a bruised ego for a couple of days, you will have done something manly in the long run. Girls are missing men asking them on dates — men who hold doors and have the confidence to ask women on dates rather than <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-everyone-hates-online-dating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hiding behind apps</a> of Instagram DMs. Ask her to grab lunch or see a movie. If she says no, you’ll move on and find someone else to ask out.
<h4>Q: What is a good at-home date night idea?</h4>
I think cooking together is fun. My husband is also a good cook, so we enjoy doing that together. We also love to watch shows together. Granted, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kids-entertainment-out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new" target="_blank" rel="noopener">we have children</a> so we stay in more these days, but we love a good at-home dinner-date night.

We never quite know who the Biden administration is going to host at an event, but this year, Kamala Harris invited students from HBCU schools to the White House for a day of HBCU Triumph. At this “black excellence event,” the White House welcomed people they think embody black excellence. Apparently, they are of the belief that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/this-is-trash-who-is-pushing-this-on-black-culture-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexyy Red</a> is one of those people since they played her song “SkeeYee” during the event for all the guests.
But is it black excellence to gather a number of students from HBCU schools and basically cater to them to let them know that you know the kind of music they listen to by playing Sexyy Red? Is that actually black excellence? Or, is that government excellence? I believe it is the latter. This is a prime example of the government playing an almost perfect hand when it comes to black America, as it has destroyed our families over the last half century.
Black Americans were outpacing white Americans in the 1950s under Jim Crow in terms of economic growth, and then, the government got involved. Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act — even though he was an avowed racist — because he was forced to. With all the unrest and rioting that was going on in the nation following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, he had to sign the Civil Rights Act to calm America. Then, as soon as the Act was signed, he implemented the welfare system with the Great Society Act, saying he knew he would have black Americans voting Democrat for the next 200 years. He has basically been right.
Black Americans continue to think Democrats are their friends and saviors, as witnessed by their visit to the White House when they put on music — trash music — that is the intentional disintegration of the black soul. They are convincing black Americans that this is their culture, when, actually, it is the corrosion of black culture. In today’s society, Sexyy Red is “success” for Democrats — with all the twerking that comes with that music. Just a short time ago, we were listening to bands like The Temptations and singers like Lauryn Hill. Perhaps there is an operation spinning in Hollywood from the people who brought us gangster rap and this sort of trash.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-298-i-m-done-being-threatened-the-michael-jackson-diddy-connection-exposed-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
It’s no secret that some black Americans don’t like me because I talk about these issues. However, I want to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/are-you-black-pilled" target="_blank" rel="noopener">make black Americans aware</a> of the fact that we have been targeted <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mass-psychosis-how-villains-become-heroes-in-the-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">and brainwashed</a> against our better interests. The media inevitably have much to say about anyone who has conversations with me on, basically, any matter, but especially those concerning black America.
I exposed the fraudulence surrounding the George Floyd case in my documentary “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/the-greatest-lie-ever-sold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Greatest Lie Ever Sold</a>.” But black Americans said, “How dare you?” Yes, how dare I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-am-sick-and-tired-of-media-deception" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expose</a> that Black Lives Matter not only used George Floyd’s unfortunate death to steal millions of dollars, but also laundered those dollars to organizations that have absolutely nothing to do with black America. How dare I expose that BLM convinced black Americans to riot and loot their own communities so that business leaders would be forced to move out. And they weren’t the only ones who were forced out.
Thanks to BLM efforts, police were forced out of neighborhoods and locations where looting was occurring, so, obviously, no one wanted to live in those neighborhoods. Why would anyone volunteer to live in an unsafe neighborhood or set up a business in a looting zone? This then caused black people in these communities to end up even more impoverished in those circumstances. So, I refuse to kowtow to the Democratic world order that has effectively destroyed black Americans.
I refused to cover up the fact that George Floyd died with enough fentanyl in his system to kill a horse, nor was I willing to act as though the full video of Floyd’s arrest showed that Floyd complied with police — when he did not. Floyd was safely put in the back of a cruiser, proclaimed he could not breathe while he was sitting in the backseat, and then asked to be put on the ground. I went on a fact-searching mission and exposed all the lies and the media propaganda arm that routinely convinces black America — and, quite honestly, all Americans now — that they are a part of a victim group.
The only victim group we are a part of is the group that is, at least to some extent, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lifes-tough-get-a-helmet-man" target="_blank" rel="noopener">being victimized</a> by the media. Without question, we are constantly being lied to so that we never look at or question who the people are who are actually controlling us.

A publication (which will remain nameless) that used to cover me quite frequently recently and abruptly stopped. After looking into it, I found out that there had effectively been a ban put on my name — an internal embargo of sorts. Of course, I was curious as to why? What exactly did I do to, all of a sudden, deserve a ban? As I came to find out, they claim that I am a “Christian nationalist.”
Now, I am a proud Christian, but I thought it was a bit strange that a media hit was put on me for the sole reason of being a Christian — because my show is not overtly Christian. There would be nothing wrong with that, but we&#8217;re not exactly praying on the show (though maybe we should be, considering everything that&#8217;s happening in society).
Regardless, I’m not sure I have any problem with either of those terms. I definitely consider myself to be a nationalist, and I am also a Christian. However, they’re saying it in a much more sinister way. If you’re paying attention, “Christian nationalist” is everywhere as of late. Suddenly, Christianity is being smeared, libeled, and attacked. It is being presented in the same vein as white supremacy.
In February alone, major media outlets published numerous headlines about Christian nationalism. <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/what-is-christian-nationalism-and-why-it-raises-concerns-about-threats-to-democracy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PBS</a> published “What is Christian nationalism and why it raises concerns about threats to democracy,” <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/02/28/poll-christian-nationalism-americans-reject" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios</a> published “Poll: Most Americans cool to Christian nationalism as its influence grows” (apparently we’re now conducting polls and saying Christian nationalism is influential), <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/28/1234304058/christian-nationalism-survey#:~:text=Christian%20nationalism's%20support%20is%20strongest%20in%20rural%20states%20A%20new,as%20Alabama%20and%20West%20Virginia." target="_blank" rel="noopener">NPR</a> published “Christian nationalism’ support is strongest in rural, conservative states,” and the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/01/opinion/christian-nationalism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> published “Four Ways of Looking at Christian Nationalism.”
Those all came out within just the last month.
This topic is also getting the Hollywood spin, so, now, it will be pumped through our television screens. After all, once the propaganda goes out, it must get the Hollywood treatment. Apparently, the man for that job is Rob Reiner. Reiner is directing a new documentary titled “God and Country,” which puts Christian nationalism in America under the spotlight. On his press tour, one of his stops was CNN, and in <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2024/01/30/exp-amanpour-rob-reiner-god--country-intw-013001pseg2-cnni-world.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his interview</a>, Christiane Amanpour asked Reiner why he selected Christian nationalism as his next film topic. He responded saying that over time, he has come to see how powerful and well-organized the movement has become: “I then realized that this [movement] has taken root far more and far more deeply than I had ever thought.” Reiner believes Christian nationalism is deeply embedded in society — and believes that’s a problem.
Now, I’m sure when you consider the myriad of issues facing our country today, what you’re really concerned about is that there might be some Christians who are also in love with our country. They are Christian nationalists. When you see drug dealers, illegal immigrants, crime rates, gang violence, I’m sure you’re thinking, it’s the Christians we should be afraid of. It’s an absurd idea.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-296-holy-smokes-the-media-just-put-a-hit-on-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
I believe this is a further attempt to divide and brainwash Christians, which is something that has gone on for decades.
Once upon a time, the Bible was taught in classrooms all across the United States, and teachers and students prayed in school. Then lawsuits were filed and all that went away, beginning in the 1960s. Since then, there has been a concerted effort to divide Christians, to make them feel embarrassed about their religion. That push just continues with more force; that is exactly what is happening again with the topic of Christian nationalism.
Hollywood is notorious for supporting initiatives like this. Believe it or not, they’re even going after Justin Bieber. Bieber, as we all know, was young and innocent when he came onto the scene, so he had much potential to be a victim of evil in the industry. Granted, he went through an intense period of partying, but in 2018, he married Hailey Baldwin — and his world completely changed. He dropped the party-boy reputation, changed his ways, and started attending church. This was and still is not the kind of story that usually circulates in Hollywood.
Hollywood has never been a fan of Christianity, so church-going people in the industry simply cannot be allowed. That makes Justin’s pastor’s post on the internet no surprise. Victor Marx took to social media to make a somewhat unusual, though understandable, request, asking for Christians to pray for wisdom and protection for Justin and Hailey, for them to draw close to the Lord, because people in the limelight often face “spiritual warfare.” Hailey’s dad, Stephen, shared the post which caused more questions in the comments. He has since deleted the post, and though we don’t know more details, it is obvious that there is some kind of spiritual battle happening.
It seems that every time we get a glimpse of truth, forces unite and more evil occurs. I cannot imagine the pressure Justin is facing, and I am sure that the evil he has experienced and witnessed in the industry is weighing heavier and heavier on his heart, especially since he has strengthened his relationship with God over the years.
So, to any person going through this type of conflict, know that Christians will stand by you if and when you are ready to share the truth. We will be there with you. We will pray for you — and the entire world. Plus, people who are not Christians will thank you, even if silently, because they know that if Christians are being considered evil, something very sinister is going on.
Pay attention, pray, and encourage each other. If we can unite in our faith, we can conquer more evil together than we can alone.

From 2015 to 2016, JoJo Siwa was on the show “Dance Moms” alongside her mother, Jessalynn Siwa. While she may not have been the best dancer, viewers always wanted to see more of her on screen. She has a big, bubbly personality and was always genuinely fun to watch. After two seasons on the show, she started a YouTube channel called “It’s JoJo Siwa,” which was a kids’ show—and kids loved her. It positively exploded. She gained a huge following and even created music for kids thereafter.
In January 2020, Siwa came out as a lesbian. Now, she is back in the news with a new podcast — “JoJo Siwa Now” — and a big announcement: She wants kids.

[R] Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images for iHeartRadio</div>I have said previously that I do not believe Siwa is a lesbian, which she heard about and didn’t like. Nevertheless, I stand by it. There are, obviously, lesbians who grow up to marry women. The women I know who have chosen this route are often women who have been abused by men in some way, be it emotional or physical. They almost experience a repulsion of men for the rest of their lives. Ellen DeGeneres has talked about the sexual abuse she experienced as a child, and she has been married to a woman for many years now.
But Siwa’s story? I have seen this story and so have you: Young girls become famous and want to break away from the child-like persona that made them famous — and they go through “a phase.” Call it a coming-of-age phase, per se. These girls are the Cyndi-Lauper-type girls who “just want to have fun.” They make out with other girls at a high school or college party, but they are not really lesbians. They grow up and out of that phase. They go on to marry a man and have children.

So why does any of this matter? It matters because it impacts our children and because it’s relevant to the next generation. This type of behavior becomes dangerous. These women are famous and because their phase is platformed, it is treated as something more than just a phase.
JoJo Siwa has recently discussed on her podcast what coming out to her mother was like. She says she was 12-years-old. That’s right: 12-years-old. Do we assign meaning to anything that a 12-year-old says? Girls’ emotions are all over the place around that age when they are going through puberty; that is why people often say girls are much more difficult than boys when they are teenagers. Factually, a 12-year-old’s brain simply is not developed. In fact, it’s not developed until age 25.
Then, in regards to the conversation between Siwa and her mom, Siwa says, “My mom actually made my coming out to her super easy.” And when “everyone kinda caught a vibe” between her and a girl who ended up becoming her first girlfriend, her mom asked her, “Do you like her as a friend or as more than a friend?” All the while, Siwa has lots of children’s eyes watching her every move, hanging on her every word. They’re the kids who fell in love with her on YouTube, so they’re still listening to her while she makes her lesbian journey sound fun and easy.
Yet many lesbians’ journeys have been far from fun and easy. The highest domestic violence statistics exist amongst the lesbian community, with 43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% of bisexual women having experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner. Those are facts, and they are facts that JoJo Siwa is not considering while she goes through what I perceive to plausibly be a phase in her life.

Plus, biologically speaking, lesbians cannot naturally have children. But on her podcast, she says she is looking for someone who is ready to have kids because she is “very near ready.” Siwa says, “That is something that I care very, very much about.” Now, I love that she is talking about wanting to have children and making that aspirational because that is actually not common in Hollywood whatsoever. However, she is clearly not considering the implications of being a lesbian and having children. To have children, she would have to go through IVF, a tremendously expensive, emotional, and painful process. The reality of IVF is not flippant; it is severe. Further, it is not guaranteed.
JoJo Siwa may just be wanting to separate herself from the big bow phase, but the lesbian phase may be one she looks back on with regret. Perhaps she will look to some of the women who have lived lives similar to hers to learn from where they are now because her current decisions are in the public consciousness. She is influencing the children who are following her by glamorizing these decisions, even if unintentionally so.

I have become fascinated with the Ruby Franke case. I have not publicly discussed the case because when the story broke months ago, I was not convinced that more commentary would be beneficial to add to the discussion, namely because this story was quite dark. However, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MKNgVX6u34">the statement</a> she gave in her recent court appearance was unexpected.
A Utah-based family, the Frankes became quite popular several years ago via their “8 Passengers” YouTube channel that had over two million subscribers. They fit into the YouTuber families who look like the perfect family — well-dressed, church-going (Mormon), wife, husband, six children. But by June 2020, some of those subscribers started to take note of some strange happenings in the family. Followers began criticizing Ruby Franke’s punishing techniques, they noticed the degree to which she allowed her children to prank one another, and then they realized one of her children was sleeping in a beanbag.
Viewers’ concerns escalated, and some reached out to the local Children Protection Services and went so far as to begin a petition that forcing a child to sleep in a beanbag was too harsh of a punishment. But when Franke was asked about it, she simply said the kid loved it. In 2021, Ruby and Kevin, her husband, began going to counseling with Jodie Hildebrant, a business partner who became her mentor and counselor to her children.
In August of 2022, Franke faced more criticism, this time over a lunch debacle. Her six-year-old daughter had packed a lunch but forgot it. Franke refused to take the lunch to her daughter and let her eat — a punishment obviously way too harsh for a six-year-old.
Police visited the home a few times, but it was not until August of last year when everything exploded. Franke and Hildebrant were arrested after Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped from Hildebrant’s house, ran to a neighbor, and called 911. The boy was entirely malnourished, his limbs had been duct taped, and he had visible injuries.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/beyonce-fans-don-t-come-for-me-my-review-of-her-country-music-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
Hildebrant had allegedly become a counselor to the children; however, the son later told investigators that Hildebrant put cayenne pepper and honey on wounds he had from being tied with a rope. When the Department of Public Safety arrived at the residence, they found another child, her daughter, in comparable condition who had been subjected to the same mistreatment and abuse. As more details unfolded, more abuse came to light. The mother was apparently telling her children they were possessed, and the children believed their mom. Franke told her daughter that to be absolved from possession, she must be subjected to such treatment.
This entire situation is absolutely infuriating. It involves children. Precious, innocent children. It also involves a parent with a warped brain.
This week, Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrant were sentenced to 30 years in prison — and Franke’s not fighting it. That’s what has made this case so interesting. Typically, lawyers work to get a sentence reduced, but part of the reason this court case has moved so quickly is because she is not fighting the charges. Franke gave a rather surprising <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MKNgVX6u34">statement in front of the court</a> — surprising in that it is uncommon — saying she believes she deserves to go to prison for what she has done.
In her statement, she explains how she got to her delusional way of living, coming to believe the church was against her, the government was against her, and in order to “save” her children, she must inflict these punishments on them. She was working with an exceptionally dark and disturbed woman, Hildebrant, but Franke says it was her own choice to believe what she heard. She apologizes to her husband, thanks the police officers, addresses her parents with sincerity, and pleads to God, saying her greatest desire is to one day stand in God’s courts, spotless and confident. She ends by confirming she knows this is “a necessary step” to learn until she is “ready to re-enter as a contributing member of our beautiful society.”
What Ruby Franke did is horrible. What her children have experienced is an absolute tragedy. Even with cases such as these, we are conditioned to watch people commit atrocious crimes and then explain why we should understand they committed them.
Everyone looks for an excuse and for understanding. But not Franke. Her response is surprising because people don’t take accountability anymore. They do not admit wrongdoing. They do not ask for healing, own their faults, and admit they deserve every single thing thrown at them.
To be clear, regardless of her statement, the victims are the children and that fact can never be removed. But it is a response worth discussing. What an interesting conclusion — and one we never see.

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s relationship has been in the news since July 2023. It resurfaced in November of last year with more information, and now, in February 2024, there are still more rumblings coming from these two. My assessment is and always has been that this was an incredibly toxic relationship. But regardless of its toxicity, there are some actions that will never be acceptable in any relationship.
The private life of Palmer and Jackson started to become public in July 2023 when Palmer went to a concert in Las Vegas and was pulled on stage to dance with Usher. Her then-boyfriend, Jackson, took to X to declare his disapproval of her provocative behavior and revealing outfit. By this point, the two already shared a child, and she had given birth just a few months prior.

X/Twitter.</div>
Then, in November, a month after separating, Palmer released shocking surveillance camera footage of who appears to be her ex, Jackson, beating her in her own home. At the time of the footage release, she was seeking a restraining order and full custody of their then eight-month-old son. Jackson reportedly trespassed into Palmer’s home without her knowledge nor her consent. This is still working its way through the court process, but the behavior she reported of him is beyond despicable.

She shared stills of the footage from her filings in court at the time. In them, Jackson first looks to be forcing her in a certain direction against her will, then has his hand in the air as she loses her balance and falls over the couch, putting her hands up in a defenseless position.

<div id="attachment_697021" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-697021" class="size-full wp-image-697021" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/House-3.png" alt="Screenshot." width="512" height="279" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/House-3.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/House-3-300x163.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Screenshot.</div>
In the court <a href="https://www.today.com/parents/keke-palmer-custody-son-darius-jackson-rcna124585" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filings</a>, she states, “The abuse during our relationship was not just physical, but emotional and manipulative. Darius would ‘love bomb’ me and make me feel like I was the most important woman in the world, only to get extremely distant and cold over a perceived insult to him.” Palmer has repeated that Jackson was very jealous throughout their entire relationship. While this was obviously an incredibly toxic relationship, this abuse was certainly not Keke Palmer’s fault. 
Then, at the beginning of this month, Jackson took to X again, this time, with a message to all the dads who have given up custody: 
<div id="attachment_697023" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-697023" class="size-full wp-image-697023" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/Darius-4.png" alt="Screenshot.

X/Twitter.</div>
In another post, he continued, giving advice to make sure God is the center of your relationship:
<div id="attachment_697029" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-697029" class="size-full wp-image-697029" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/House-5.png" alt="Screenshot.

X/Twitter.</div>
If you separated these words from the situation he has currently found himself in — having beaten Keke Palmer — I would affirm that this is amazing advice. But you do not get to suddenly become a pastor after we have all seen evidence of horrific footage of you. Even in households of atheists, men know not to put their hands on women. To claim you were beating your significant other because you were not following the Good Book and the Lord? There is no excuse — ever. Let’s not hide behind God. Let’s not turn into a pastor who suddenly has sage words for other men.
I am a firm believer that it is important to weigh in when something goes against your values — so it is important to state this is wrong. This is a situation that should be discussed, not because anyone is prying into the private lives of people (this is information that has been made public), but because it’s important to take a moral position with actual values. This situation includes two people who clearly did not respect each other, nor did they understand who the other was. Toxicity seeped into their relationship, and they never should have been matched in the first place. But no woman should ever go through this, and no woman should suffer abuse. It is never the fault of any person when they are abused.
There is never a circumstance when it is acceptable for a man to put his hands on a woman. Never. Only a coward would ever do that.

An Unjustifiable Act In Any Relationship

Young women who were promised the feminist dream are now in the workforce. Growing up, they were told, “You can be just like men. Male parity is what we want! We want to work 40 hours a week. You are going to love it.” But now, at not-so-long last, the women who grew up hearing these platitudes are finding out that the feminist glory, as it was made out to be, is not all that glorious — and they aren’t actually loving it. Gez Z women in particular have found they aren’t making much money, they’re working a lot of hours, and they don’t have any time for themselves.
I’ve been extensively discussing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-vulnerability-that-will-plague-generation-tiktoks-future">the realization Gen Z</a> is coming to, and in yet another TikTok, this topic came to my attention once again. Eliza (<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@supposedlyasystem">@supposedlyasystem</a>) has recently shared her feelings with the Internet (because that’s what you’re supposed to do on social media these days), and she has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/three-new-years-resolutions-for-women-on-the-internet">trauma dumped</a> about having to work 40 hours a week while making very little money. She carries on with this monologue for right at two minutes while crying as she does so. In her TikTok, she professes:
<blockquote>Why is it that I have to work 40 hours a week just so I can have a place to live? … I work 40 hours a week so I can have a two-bedroom apartment and an extra $300 a month. … So not only do I not have any extra money, but just working makes me so exhausted that I don’t have time either. Like, I get off work at 5:30, I come home and I am just so tired. I’m so tired… I don’t want to do that anymore, right? I don’t care how poor and miserable I would have to be, but I literally can’t have a place to live without this. You know, like, I don’t know what to do. I’m not made for this. </blockquote>

A lot of people have made fun of her for this video, but Eliza isn’t the only Gen Zer who has expressed these exact feelings — so I think we should answer her question. She is asking, why? Why is this her circumstance? Well, the answer, sweetheart, is that the big, bold, bad feminists who came before you insisted that women could be just like men.
Women are obviously not just like men; biologically, men are wired differently. We are symbiotic with men; however, our roles in life are not meant to be the same. But feminists came along and brainwashed people into believing women were no different than men and could, in fact, be just like them: Take birth control and you won’t get pregnant! they said. Go to work and be like the men! they proclaimed. Work alongside your male counterparts.

Fast forward to 2024 and women are finally realizing that perhaps Mother Nature had some things right. Despite this dream of freedom they were sold, women are actually kind of miserable living this “dream.” Maybe, just maybe, the ability to birth children alongside the inclination of knowing how to raise them might be a more natural route for women. I, for example, know what to do with my children in a way that does not come as naturally to my husband. Caring for children, especially as infants, does not come naturally to men in the way it does to women. Men are biologically predisposed to do the same job day in and day out, whereas women innately know how to manage a household. They can multitask while caring for a screaming child because we are designed in that way with that capability.
Unfortunately, women are still not yet willing to let go of the feminist narrative — a narrative that is not making women happy today. This “dream” may help pay the bare minimum bills, but before the explosion of second-wave feminism, the young women who are now finding it difficult to keep up a 40-hour work week likely would have, instead, found a partner, gotten married, and had kids. The husband would have made enough to support the household because women were not yet in the labor force contributing to supporting an entire family. That was a different existence in a different world. But the feminists said that was a prison.
If you ask me, quite frankly, women were happier. My grandmother, who stayed home and raised her kids, wasn’t crying every day about the stresses of raising children. She made dinner every night, managed the household, and cared for her family — all of which made her whole. When I spend the entire day with my three children, I am exhausted but deeply rewarded. Doing that is more rewarding than any feedback received in the climate of an office.
Is it every single woman who feels as overwhelmed as the trauma dumping Gen Zers? No, but in my view, a large majority of women are dissatisfied with their lives yet unwilling to look at the fact that it is our own fault for continuing to embrace this radical feminist movement. This movement started before we were born and while its creation is not our fault, continuing to hold onto it is. Furthermore, we shouldn’t look down on women who are recognizing this “dream” for what it actually is. We should, instead, all be heading in their direction.

The NFL has made the entire 2023 &#8211; 2024 football season about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-has-the-maturity-of-a-15-year-old-girl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a>. Meanwhile, NFL fans — actual NFL fans — are and have been understandably upset about it. All these people want to do is watch some football, but they’ve been promulgated all season with constant camera pans to Swift.
Obviously, Travis Kelce is having a tremendous season, but early in the season when Swift started making appearances at Kelce’s games, the NFL quickly realized they could make money off her. Since the media are obsessed with Swift, that inevitably meant the NFL showing her at games would get more people watching — not for the actual game but for this love story unfolding between Swift and Kelce.
So at last Sunday night’s Kansas City Chiefs playoff game, Taylor Swift was caught on camera appearing to mouth, “Go away, please.”
To this, I say: Fair.
<div id="attachment_689853" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-689853" class="size-large wp-image-689853" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/GettyImages-1943420842-864x576.jpg" alt="ORCHARD PARK, NY - JANUARY 21: Brittany Mahomes, Jason Kelce, and Taylor Swift react during the second half of the AFC Divisional Playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on January 21, 2024 in Orchard Park, New York. (Photo by Kathryn Riley/Getty Images)" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/GettyImages-1943420842-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/GettyImages-1943420842-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/GettyImages-1943420842-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/GettyImages-1943420842.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" />Kathryn Riley/Getty Images</div>
Now, this is Taylor Swift, and she is arguably the most famous woman in the world next to, maybe, the likes of Beyoncé. Therefore, the cameras are not going to go away, especially because she is dating someone in the public eye. It’s not as though she decided to date someone out of the limelight, which she could have done. But rather than date men who are private and low-profile, she tends to date men who are famous as well. Furthermore, people are obviously invested in her love story because, after all, her music centers around how she falls in and out of love. That’s how she’s been able to connect with her audience. So there is no way the cameras are just going to go away.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/oh-snap-woke-female-pilot-explodes-on-me-over-dei-policies-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
But I do feel somewhat empathetic to her. She is not asking for the cameras to be on her, and I’m sure it is embarrassing for her. She wants the focus to be on Travis Kelce. Even in my own life and in a much smaller circumstance, I have politely declined when someone has asked me for a picture while at one of my husband’s speaking events. A picture with me at one of his events is not the appropriate time.
While people are upset about the focus being taken away from Kelce and put on Swift, she, too, wants the focus to be on him. And I think this is legitimate. 
But the NFL is not going to stop.
This level of attention is the high cost of being someone that famous, but I sense it annoys her. Despite the fact she is incredibly famous, she still wants to take part in things like a normal person. She doesn’t want to have this embarrassing level of attention on her as she’s learning about and getting to know his family. She wants them to like her, just like any girlfriend would. What she does not want is for Kelce’s family to just associate her with lots of cameras and floods of people coming up to her, obsessed with every moment of her life. At the end of the day, she is just a person.
In the long run, I still do not think this relationship is going to work out. These were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flag-on-the-play-swift-and-kelces-annoying-relationship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my early predictions</a>, and I stand by them. She might get a baby out of this, but I do not think they are well-matched or well-suited for each other for a slew of different reasons. But, as it pertains to the NFL, they have been particularly invasive — and they’ve used Swift just to make some money. That’s the worst part.

As I’ve <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-you-need-to-know-about-george-soros-and-why-it-matters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> before, George Soros has been on my radar for a long time because he continues to appear anti-democratic. As a quick refresher, Soros grew up in Hungary and was recruited into a Jewish council as a child. These councils were set up by Nazis to do their bidding against the Jews’ own people. Soros was assigned the job of confiscating Jewish property in his community. As an adult looking back on this time in his childhood, Soros has said the experience <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1C8lwDonvg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wasn’t difficult</a> at all. His own father has indicated George seemed to have enjoyed working with the Nazis.
As an adult, Soros is actively working to see the end of America, evidence which is namely in the form of his investments. He has funded electing liberal district attorneys into office while advocating for defunding the police. Yet he does this cunningly by giving to one cause to ensure it makes its way to another. His network of fact-checkers cover his tracks, and the CIA and FBI leave him alone. As I expected, out of his five children, his son Alexander is set to fill his father’s role.
Alexander Soros was named “successor” to George in the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/george-soros-heir-son-alexander-soros-e3c4ca13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wall Street Journal</a> in June, just before his father turned 93 in August. George, of course, has been implementing legacy plans for how his work will continue which the Wall Street Journal documented in their first interview with Alexander, who plans to continue to fund leftist initiatives. Alexander is now overseeing “the $25 billion empire” and nonprofit Open Society Foundations (OSF). Labeled an American philanthropist and a younger son of the five Soros children, 38-year-old Alexander is also one of the World Economic Forum&#8217;s young global leaders of 2018 and beyond.

This year, he spoke on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos. It was a rare opportunity to be able to hear him speak, but listening to him, I was genuinely shocked. He commented on technology, democracy, institutions, and Trump. At least, he said those words somewhere in his dialogue. He also said: 
<blockquote>I don&#8217;t think that that&#8217;s the fundamental, I don&#8217;t think technology is fundamental issue in in democracy. Democracy is messy. I mean, you know, democracy is about contestation of ideas. It&#8217;s about plurality. It&#8217;s about people having different truths, actually. Now, fundamentally, how society lives together, civically, in those in those contestations is, you know, is obviously, is obviously, you know, quite, quite, you know, quite tricky.</blockquote>
And:
<blockquote>And, you know, you know, we just heard this this point about untrustworthy people and we talked about things in the United States like, you know, like checks and balances which aren&#8217;t written anywhere but are customs. And one man, Donald Trump, literally came in and just took that, you know, took that, took that all away, you know, so, you know, so, you know, but when I see this, you know, when I look at this, you know, you know, more globally regarding, regarding, you know, regarding democracy, I also say to myself, when was this great time that everybody got along so well and, you know, things were going so, so great? </blockquote>
I was shocked at what came out of his mouth — or rather, what didn’t. I never imagined that. He is one of the individuals who get up on stage at this forum — a forum built around people who think they are the brightest people in the world and everyone else is too stupid to know how to live their own lives. So they sit down, plot, and think about the future of the world together because they don’t think anyone is smart enough to know how to take care of themselves.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="What You Need to Know About Alexander Soros" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U5b8_7MVy_8?start=96&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
To be sure, Alexander Soros is a trust fund baby. However, being a trust fund baby does not automatically equal stupidity. Coming from wealth also does not mean you did not earn some of your success. Yet Alexander Soros, the man who has just inherited billions of dollars and is going to represent the future, cannot so much as string together a sentence. Absolutely nothing he said made any sense. I have listened to the clip of his panel multiple times, but his words make no sense. They’re incoherent. I actually tried to figure out how he could say so much and absolutely nothing at all within a two minute span. Even someone on drugs or hungover could get a few sentences out. But not Alexander Soros.
This would actually be hilarious if it wasn’t for the fact that Soros has inherited billions and is going to shape the future of this country. He has the ability to do that because of the wealth that his father earned, which I emphasize because he clearly isn’t capable of earning that sort of wealth on his own. Alexander Soros is a trust fund baby — and he&#8217;s not a bright one.

So I will leave you with some final words from Alexander Soros:
<blockquote>I mean, I think, you know, you know, the, you know, I think that we really have to be careful here. And, you know, in this nostalgia for a time, you know, for a time past, because a lot of the reactions we&#8217;re seeing in society are actually reactions to positive, positive things like, you know, like equality for women, you know, and, you know, and greater diversity, which comes with backlash.</blockquote>
Who knows what he was trying to say.

Last week, I gave some <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/three-new-years-resolutions-for-women-on-the-internet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Year’s resolutions</a>, specifically for women on the internet. One of those resolutions was to stop engaging in the trend known as “trauma dumping.” Trauma dumping, as I explained, is when women record themselves as they’re going through an emotional moment — sharing, as they say, “vulnerable stories” or private instances of their lives for all the world to see. The unspoken goal of trauma dumping is to receive praise for their vulnerability.
A recent trauma-dumping offender who came to my attention is a girl named Brittany Pietsch. Pietsch worked for a company called Cloudflare, and after receiving an invite to a virtual meeting with her superiors, she realized that she was about to get laid off because of her performance. So, before the meeting, she did her hair and makeup and set up her phone to record herself being let go — again, because of her poor performance. Pietsch was a sales rep, and when you are in sales, you have to sell. She was, however, unable to do that.
But never fear! TikTok is here. Not shockingly, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@brittanypeachhh">Pietsch has a TikTok</a>, so she took to her account to give her own spin on this situation, claiming she is actually the victim in this situation. That’s right: Though she was unable to do her job, she’s the victim. In this <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@brittanypeachhh/video/7323004085043612959">nine-minute long TikTok</a>, a Cloudflare employee tells her they have finished reviewing performance evaluations and since Pietsch did not meet expectations, they have decided to part ways with her.
Pietsch holds up her hand and says, “I’m going to stop you right there.” She explains she started in August, underwent a three-month ramp, and only worked three weeks in December before Christmas. She claims to have “the highest activity” on her team and continues by saying, “I have had three contracts out, done a really great job managing my deals up until the very end.” As it turns out, those three deals did not close. Regardless, Pietsch says she just does not think ending her time with Cloudflare makes any sense.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/did-i-betray-trump-for-vivek-ramaswamy-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
Let me stop her right there. Cloudflare letting Pietsch go actually makes plenty of sense. In her interrupting response, she basically says a lot of nothing. What activity is she referring to? She doesn’t specify. Phone calls? Because if so, that is not how she’s being evaluated. Their performance evaluations are based on the employee’s ability to close deals, which she self-proclaims that she has not done. Despite the fact she got contracts out over this three-month ramp period, she was still unable to close a deal. Then she seems to think that because it was Christmas, Cloudflare should be more forgiving. In actuality, the end of the year is when most deals tend to close. It sounds like Pietsch just wasn’t doing her job.
But, no matter. She took to TikTok to proclaim herself the victim, using the word “traumatizing” in the caption — the same video in which she checks her appearance to make sure she looks ok. This is incredibly performative; it’s not vulnerable. Yet people still affirmed Pietsch’s sentiments about herself in their responses in the comments telling her she is, indeed, the victim. Why? Well, because it’s TikTok and also because, apparently, TikTokers just love a good trauma dump.
People have at least pointed to the fact that according to her LinkedIn, Pietsch has a history of working in sales but she doesn’t seem to be able to hold a job for longer than a year. That is evidence for any employer — who isn’t in her TikTok generation — that maybe this is an issue. Maybe Pietsch, despite being concerned with her hair and makeup, actually just is not very good at her jobs.
Generation TikTok does not understand that the internet is forever. Pietsch may have racked up the the likes and views she wanted for her TikTok, but now, when a future employer does a simple Google search for her, this video is what they will find — a video of a young woman who decided to secretly record the company she worked for because they did what most companies do: They fire people who are not performing well. Inevitably, this won’t bode well for her future. Secretly recording your company? That’s not trustworthy. Not taking ownership of your work? That’s not responsible.
The question I keep returning to as we reflect on the past and simultaneously look to the future while beginning a new year is: Are we creating better human beings? Unfortunately, I think the answer is, obviously not.

The ‘Vulnerability’ That Will Plague Generation TikTok’s Future

The 'Vulnerability' That Will Plague Generation TikTok’s Future

Ladies and gentlemen, I am back. The last time you saw or heard from me, I was 40 weeks pregnant, but I gave birth to my third child on November 20. I absolutely missed being here, and I am excited to catch up. And while it’s the New Year, I am the exact same Candace. Regardless of the year or where we are in it, I am going to stand by my values and instill them in my own household. I will never turn my back on saying what I believe to be true in my heart.
As we enter 2024, I am doing just that by setting some resolutions for women on the internet. Is it more of the “be brave” or “be stunning” lingo? Actually, no. It’s less of that. Less of all that. I absolutely think we should all set New Year’s resolutions, and since I have a platform and many women follow me (some who like me, scores who don’t), I thought I should outline the top three New Year’s resolutions that women on the internet should adopt for 2024. These are three simple goals for internet behavior.
<h4>1. Stop Posting Near-Naked Pictures On The Internet</h4>
I discussed this on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my show</a> the first week I was back. I think everyone can do this. I believe it in my heart of hearts. For those who are deep into the addiction of putting the parts of your body Eve sewed fig leaves for all over everyone’s screens for likes and attention, take a small step. Try doing dry January. For the whole month of January, give it a go by not putting any of those pictures on the internet.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/women-please-stop-doing-this-in-2024-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h3>
One day, I am going to put together a rehabilitation center for these women. I really do believe this is becoming a mental disorder. I am exhausted opening my Instagram and seeing more of some women than I ever want to see. So if you could do us all a favor and put some clothes on this year, I think that would make a great first goal. In all honesty, I don’t think we’re going to be able to accomplish it, but I want to challenge everyone with the opportunity.
<h4>2. Stop Trauma Dumping</h4>
This trend has taken TikTok by storm. Some TikTokers are encouraging their followers to “trauma dump” which, according to them, involves skipping boring and uninteresting small talk to share dark, vulnerable stories instead. Others are crying in their posts with a tell-all, essentially living out private parts of their life very publicly. One TikToker in particular supports normalizing crying in your car when you think of books that make you feel sad.
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679435" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-8.png" alt="" width="292" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-8.png 292w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-8-171x300.png 171w" sizes="(max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px" /></div>
Though they want to “normalize trauma dumping,” I would like to do the opposite. I would actually like to ab-normalize trauma dumping. Crying in your car because you think of a book? Is that really something we need to normalize? I think not. Let’s not do that.
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679437" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig3.png" alt="" width="290" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig3.png 290w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig3-170x300.png 170w" sizes="(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679439" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig2.png" alt="" width="290" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig2.png 290w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig2-170x300.png 170w" sizes="(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679441" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig1.png" alt="" width="288" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig1.png 288w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig1-169x300.png 169w" sizes="(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px" /></div>
Another TikToker is “living her trauma out loud” by posting what she calls a “very vulnerable video” in which she decries that her husband is getting more love from their child than she is. He comes in and comforts her while she cries and folds laundry.
What strikes me as most bothersome with this trauma dumping initiative is the camera set up. Before crying and folding laundry, the camera was set up in a perfect position to capture all this. It got her, her husband, and their child all in this moment. It’s as though they start to feel sad and think, let me set this camera up first. 
We’ve got to stop doing this. I want women to button it up this year. I want women to be more emotionally stable on the internet. Plus, I just don’t think it’s healthy to grab your phone, set it up, and cry in front of a bunch of strangers.
<h4>3. Stop Lying To Each Other</h4>
Lena Dunham comes to mind with this resolution. She is one of the great arbiters of modern feminism — the feminism that tells women they should be naked all the time and overshare to any and everyone. Here’s an example:
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679447" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ldun.png" alt="" width="512" height="257" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ldun.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ldun-300x151.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></div>
Dunham is in a string bikini (how she often appears in posts), and she shows more of her body than any of us want to see. But what is more disturbing than the photo of Dunham in a string bikini are the comments people leave: fire emojis, heart eyes, and compliments telling her she’s “stunning” and “the hottest.”
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679449" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig-comment.png" alt="" width="484" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig-comment.png 484w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/Candace-ig-comment-284x300.png 284w" sizes="(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px" /></div>
I don’t know why women keep doing this. I’m not sure if they’re lying because it makes them feel good — or because they feel bad for her. But I suggest doing some soul searching to figure it out because it’s just not true. It’s a lie — and we should stop lying. You are not required to comment when you see a photo of someone who looks like this on the internet. (If everyone would just follow resolution #1, that would help some with #3.) You do not have to pretend something like this post is the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen. So please don’t.
So, those are my three resolutions for women. Near-naked posts, crying in your car, lying to each other — none of these are requirements. No one is asking you to do this, so let’s stop. Let’s button it up. Let’s be honest. I think if all just met these goals, that would be stunning and that would be brave.
Here’s to 2024. Let&#8217;s give it our best shot.

Three New Year’s Resolutions For Women On The Internet

Instagram

Some women are toxic. That’s not a fashionable statement to make, especially within the last ten years, but just because it’s not fashionable, doesn’t mean it isn’t true. In fact, if it isn’t fashionable to say, that probably means it is more likely to be true. Over the last two decades, we have moved into fully existing under a matriarchy that is destroying what is traditional and what actually makes women happy, such as getting married and building a family. Today, women who aspire to a traditional way of life are looked down upon: &#8220;Don’t you just want to be a free woman? You don’t need a man. All the single ladies!&#8221; We all know the song — after all, it’s empowering and catchy. And some women who do marry get mixed up with the wrong messaging and start to think their life would be better alone.
When people get divorced, they are essentially saying they don’t think they made the right decision when they got married. A breakup can end in heartbreak, but a divorce ends in the severing of a covenant relationship. Divorce is final. Yet it is a decision made after what should have already been considered forever and final: marriage. But every once in a while, someone ties the knot, regrets getting married, gets divorced, and then regrets untying the knot. Rather than think the marriage was the wrong choice, they realize it was the divorce that was wrong  — like Samantha Lee, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPublGccNbY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who has spoken out</a> about how outsiders influenced her decision to divorce her husband. Lee was formerly married to R&amp;B singer Tyrese Gibson, who I used to listen to quite a bit when I was growing up. The couple married in 2017, happily welcomed a daughter in 2018, and promptly announced their divorce in December 2020. Lee and Gibson were married three years, called it quits, and then spent the next two years going through a divorce. According to both of them, it was an ugly situation. Now, after some time has passed, she has some regret about the divorce.
<div id="attachment_650881" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-650881" class="wp-image-650881 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/432unnamed.png" alt="" width="512" height="347" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/432unnamed.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/432unnamed-300x203.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Credit: Screenshot of Hardly Initiated podcast.</div>
Lee has explained in interviews that it’s important to have wise counsel in your life because if she had been talking to different people at that time, she would not have made the decision to divorce him. She says, “Women, specifically, there will be moments where they’ll be like, ‘I’m ready to be done.’ … And because you don’t have a certain person in your life to check you and say, ‘Sis, what about this? What about these strengths? What about what he’s not doing?’ Those types of things. That can get you thinking about the positive aspects of this person that you  may not be thinking about when you’re upset. You’re only thinking about what you’re mad about. You’re not thinking about all the other positive aspects of this person. In those moments, you need somebody to be the person for that person.” She listened to the wrong voices and the wrong advice — and now, she regrets it.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
Likely, the women surrounding her at the time were largely liberal, spouting never-ending liberal messages from the mainstream media. They were likely in the same climate of toxic women who shout about earning their own money and living independently, climbing the career ladder, and avoiding any familial aspirations. Lee and Gibson were married for three years; they should have still been in the honeymoon phase. But rather than work on her marriage, she listened to her girlfriends who were making her feel “empowered.” In turn, Gibson has called her heartless, and he certainly hasn’t forgiven her. According to him, their relationship was not abusive and there was no reason for her to abruptly pack up their one-year-old child and leave — other than the fact of there being ill-advised women in her ear flanked alongside a poisonous culture.
While divorce is not necessarily a political topic, it is evidence of what happens if you follow liberal ideologies, if you buy into feminism when you are young, and if you carry on with it for too long. When you’re in your 20s, the days are long; you think you’re going to be young forever and you have all the time in the world to figure out if and when you want a family. But 30 will smack you in the face. It’s a completely different ballgame. Inevitably, women begin to feel a tug to settle down and have a family. And the difference between your life and prospects in your 20s as a young woman compared with your life and prospects in your 30s is quite dramatic.
Young women need to pay attention to these cultural examples. Pay attention to the women who make you feel empowered when you’re listening to their music, whether it’s Beyoncé, Taylor Swift (who everyone loves except me), or whomever. First, look at their lives and see whether their music is reflected in their lives. Next, if it’s not, separate their music from their life. If it is, setting aside their wealth, assess if it’s reflected in a positive manner. Do you believe they are actually happy and whole? Or do their songs just condition listeners to believe freedom will render happiness?
In reality, it is discipline that will render you freedom. Water the grass where you stand, which will make you happier in the future. That’s an important message for women everywhere.

“Candace” Hosted By Candace Owens

An Important Message To Women Everywhere

Last week, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/the-shocking-truth-about-trans-surgery-briana-ivy-s-story3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I interviewed 22-year-old Briana Ivy</a>, who was born a male, began taking hormones at 15, and eventually went on to have sex reassignment surgery. I have never been more proud or more haunted by any interview I have conducted before. 
Briana’s story is not one that is broadcast in mainstream media, nor is it one that gender clinics want anyone to share. But in the face of criticism, threats, and general pushback, Briana is bravely telling his story so children and teenagers (and their parents) who are considering a route to becoming trans can understand what real life will look like. He and his family trusted the path doctors paved and social media posts painted that trans life look like everything Briana had hoped for. What they didn’t see were the tragic stories of people who had gone down the path of hormones, blockers, and surgeries — life behind the Instagram grid, the TikTok video, and the social media posts. Briana bravely shared heartbreaking details of his experience to save others from the same hurt. 
Going into this interview, I recognized it would come with tremendous consequence to Briana, but I also believed it is going to put him on a path of being a figure for those who are searching for help and need to hear this story. We started by discussing his childhood, and though Briana’s biological parents had a rather tumultuous split, his mother remarried (twice) and his now-stepfather has been a part of his transitioning process since the beginning. It was actually the experiences Briana incurred at school that were the cruelest, especially with other boys. Briana felt safest befriending girls, and at around 6 and 7, he remembers feeling uncomfortable “just being lumped in with other boys” because he was a very feminine young boy. 
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/the-shocking-truth-about-trans-surgery-briana-ivy-s-story-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
This made me think of one boy in particular I went to school with, and he played with dolls and stuck with the girls; today, he is a married gay man. So I asked Briana what made him think he wasn’t just gay but maybe trans. Briana explained that he felt “disgusted by the thought of growing up as a feminine man” and couldn’t envision himself as an adult gay male because “it just felt gross.” However, he did not know what being trans even was until he was about 12 or 13 and saw Jazz Jennings on television. He found more trans adults on YouTube and decided to write his family (mother, step-father, and sister) a letter to explain he thought he was transgender. They were receptive to this because, as he reveals later in the interview, Briana was so incredibly unhappy. He felt an immense amount of shame, saying, “I just didn’t like anything really about me.” So, they visited a gender clinic for guidance. 
<div id="attachment_650289" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-650289" class="size-full wp-image-650289" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/ccunnamedcc.png" alt="" width="512" height="288" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/ccunnamedcc.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/ccunnamedcc-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />DailyWire+.</div>
<h4><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/candace/convicting-a-murderer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: &#8216;Convicting A Murderer&#8217;</a></h4>
Briana was 14 when he went to the clinic, where he met with a clinical social worker for a quick 30-minute meeting, met with a doctor next, and then walked home with a prescription for hormones. It was that quick and simple. No meeting with a therapist, no unpack-your-childhood conversation, no decision-waiting period. Briana was prescribed a testosterone blocker medication and injection and saw his body change very quickly. I asked Briana how he felt during the first year of seeing those changes. He explained, “I felt good. I felt like I was finally being fully feminine in a way that I felt like would be more acceptable to people.” But after moving, changing schools, discussing restroom choices with school administration, and continued bullying, Briana’s mental health was not getting better. Even at 17, when he started passing as female (he describes “passing” to be when people begin recognizing you to be the opposite gender), his mental health was still declining. “The way I felt about myself didn’t get better. I was still so desperate for something.” He explains that people were no longer even questioning if he was female, yet he still felt a void. It was then that Briana says he became desperate for surgical intervention.
Briana turned to social media and found that surgery was considered an unspoken status symbol. The trans females who looked happiest were the ones who had every procedure performed. They appeared to live better lives, and it seemed as though people saw them the way they wanted to be seen. “They had made it,” Briana told me. He thought that is what he was missing because perhaps he hadn’t transitioned enough — so he kept going. Briana and I touched on the fact that people can appear happy on their highlight reel and reality is quite different, as Briana has found to be true. Briana talked with his doctor at the clinic, and he, his mom, and his stepdad were all reassured that Briana would now look like a biological female. He was told that the younger and faster he did the surgeries, the faster he would be considered a real female.
Briana actually found a surgeon for bottom surgery on TikTok, Dr. Gallagher, but after his first consultation, Dr. Gallagher relocated to Florida and referred him to Dr. Joshua Roth. He was given options for his surgery on “a blue piece of paper and it was like taking an order.” He chose the option that was presented as a “miracle.” After they submitted for insurance approval which came back in two weeks, the surgery date was booked just a few months later. Briana is not oblivious to the fact that some people apply for insurance coverage who are in life or death situations and do not receive approval that quickly, if at all. He is also aware that he is now a lifelong patient, as he will forever be on hormones since his body cannot make the ones it&#8217;s now dependent on.
In our conversation, Briana goes into great detail involving the 7-hour surgery. During his hospital stay, other doctors and residents came to his room, which Briana recalls: “I remember there was an intense fascination with what was being done to me. … [Residents and nurses] would look at me. They would tell me, ‘This is so cool. We’ve never seen someone as young as you have this done. We’ve never seen this surgery done here.’ … Dr. Roth would bring in multiple residents to just watch me while I was sitting there, and I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t move. I was in so much pain.”  That pain resulted in numerous complications (including DVT, blood clots, epidural, inability to walk), months-long excruciatingly painful aftermath, and the heartbreaking news that his body had rejected the surgery. Dr. Roth sent Briana to other doctors to begin rectifying the complication, and those doctors refused to operate, telling Briana he could experience worse complications or not make it through at all. After numerous attempts to get in contact with Dr. Roth, Briana has no longer been able to reach him.
Briana was used like a science project, and I cannot fathom the pain and grief that he, his mother, and family have been through. He is only 22-years-old, but Briana can see the truth now and he hopes to be able to have his story reach others before they fall victim to the lies he was told and false promises he was given. Briana told me, “When you go into the gender clinic and they’ll tell you if you want to look good and be treated better, start now. Start young. But then you give up everything.”
In recent years, Briana has had the desire to begin a family, but he cannot have children now. He told me, “No one who has ever started this as a kid is willing to explain what you actually give up to do this and the lies that they’ll tell you and the fact that doctors and these gender clinics will take vulnerable children and families and they’ll sell them a promise because they’re desperate.” The entire system preyed on Briana — and it failed him. He explains in the interview that he cannot take legal action unless other doctors decide if he can pursue action. (A board of certified surgeons must decide if they believe the surgery was, indeed, experimental.)
Though Briana has experienced loss, tragedy, pain, and grief, he is using his story to help others by telling the truth. Retelling this story was hard for Briana, but he is taking the chance to give people truth. He told me that even within the last few weeks, he was at a low point and turned to God, who he had shut out for a long time. He said he needed the Lord more than ever, and from that day forward, he’s known he has the chance to turn this into something good. Unlike some, Briana’s story doesn’t involve parents who were just wanting to make a political statement with their trans kid. They were parents who were trying to help their child but didn’t know what to do. And he wants to help those parents: “It’s parents that just want their kid to feel normal because they don’t want to lose their kid. They don’t know what to do. And that was my family. And I’m glad that I can show them that there is no need to let these doctors tell you to rush this because you just cannot go back.”
I believe the whole world is going to open for Briana Ivy because he is being exceptionally brave, and it usually takes bravery first for things to change.

I Have Never Been More Proud Or Haunted By An Interview: Briana Ivy’s Story

Transgender

transgender surgery

Until a few weeks ago, I had never even seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TmejMmwPhw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Whatever podcast</a>, and my limited knowledge of this show was that the host, Brian Atlas, sits with young women to discuss dating and relationships, and he occasionally invites a conservative to join the conversation. I found out that for the particular episode I was booked for, I would be sitting in a circle with sex workers to discuss their jobs. Not only did I not understand why I had been booked on the show, but I was also dreading the whole ordeal. I didn’t really think I was a fit for a show to sit across from women who would be talking about their OnlyFans careers and various sex work they do. I thought I would feel a lot of anger sitting with them, but, as it turns out, anger is not what I felt for these proud prostitutes.
When I sat down with these ladies, they each described what they did for a living. One was a singer and leans more conservative, but this was definitely not the case for the others. Two were on OnlyFans and two were prostitutes who claimed they save marriages because of the work they do as prostitutes and sex therapists. That’s correct. They believe they sleep with women’s husbands to save marriages.
<div id="attachment_647451" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-647451" class="size-full wp-image-647451" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/unnamed4.png" alt="" width="512" height="285" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/unnamed4.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/unnamed4-300x167.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Whatever Podcast.</div>
One legal prostitute shared with the table that she has found it difficult to date and she’s “run into a lot of insecure men” because they “can’t handle” what she does for work. Brian interjected to clarify her statement, asking if the men were insecure or if they didn’t want to date her because she is currently an active prostitute. She explained she hasn’t been dating anyone while working at the brothels, the Bunny Ranch, or the Mustang Ranch; she has only dated between jobs. When she was pressed on what makes these men insecure, she said her exes would cry about her going into work at the strip club: “I’ve had guys try to control, like, what I wear and say that I can’t work at strip clubs or do OnlyFans or whatever.” Brian interjected again: “Is it because they’re insecure or is that just them having boundaries and standards?” Her argument was that these men knew what she did for a living when they met, so if they had a problem with it, they shouldn’t have gotten involved with her in the first place.
I realized in the middle of this conversation that while I had thought I was going to feel angry sitting with these women, I actually just felt a tremendous amount of sadness for them. This particular girl is 22 years old, and she sleeps with five to ten men a night, and I listened to her justify why her relationships are not working out — because, in her eyes, the men dating her are insecure — and it’s heartbreaking. She can’t see the reason these men don’t want her engaging in this type of work is that they care about her. They want to see her get out of this lifestyle. While a man probably shouldn’t have been drawn to her in the first place considering her line of work, the point is that once they try to get her out, she sees it as an indicator that he is insecure, not that he thinks she’s better than the career she has.
Unsurprisingly, money was an underlying theme in their reasoning for doing this work. Furthermore, they speak derogatively about men in general, seeming to have a fundamental lack of understanding of what a quality man even is and where to find him. Later in the interview, the same 22-year-old who thinks her exes are insecure said she plans to get out of sex work after she’s made plenty of money. She fully plans to get married and live happily ever after. I explained that when they are older and men find out they used to be prostitutes, their prospects are going to drop dramatically in number — not because men are insecure, but because they have standards. Though men are having to work harder than generations past to find a high-quality woman — a woman who wants to stay in the home, dress conservatively, raise children, and not sleep with tons of men — for the most part, they’re willing to do it.
<div id="attachment_647453" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-647453" class="size-full wp-image-647453" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/55candace.png" alt="" width="512" height="287" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/55candace.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/55candace-300x168.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Whatever Podcast.</div>
I was adamant that the career they have chosen is going to follow them the rest of their life. This, of course, was not a point well received at the table so this same girl created a what-if scenario regarding my own husband. She posed a scenario to me: If my husband were to come to me and ask to engage in some perverse sex act with him, what would I do? She assumes most women’s answer would end up being to go see her so she can engage in that act with him thus sparing the wife but still pleasing the husband. I explained to her that one of the beautiful parts of a marriage is that I knew who my husband was when we married, so this scenario would never happen. But she continued on, asking what I would do if “things changed and maybe he wants to start exploring.” I responded that people don’t just wake up one day and think of these things; they pick them up in some perverse world and they’re not normal. She pressed further, wanting to know what I would do and if divorce would be on the table. My answer? “I would think that that individual would probably need therapy — and not the kind that you give,” as I pointed to the woman in her 40s who says she’s a sex therapist and sleeps with other women’s husbands.
While this 22-year-old seemed to be trying to trigger me, I wasn’t triggered. Rather, I felt disturbed that she was even coming up with such a scenario. But I realized her entire reality has been warped because she works in a brothel and sees up to ten clients per day — clients who probably represent to her what all men are like. It’s never occurred to her that she is seeing the most debased, pathetic men in society. It’s not your average man who goes into a brothel. It is certainly not an average happily married man who has such perverse thoughts. Yet for her, she sees that as the norm because it has become her reality. She believes that all men are like the men she sees and want what they want.

This is where society is today, and it’s why I devote so much time to speaking about the ills of what is happening in it. This girl’s mind is utterly polluted because of what she experiences every single day. A major part of the problem is the soft pornography we have all become accustomed to; it’s what you see as you scroll through Instagram and see models showing so much skin. It’s images that are desensitizing us all. We don’t even flinch anymore when we see an ad with a woman holding a purse who is half naked because we have become accustomed to seeing this type of image absolutely everywhere.
The culmination of such a society has brought us to women who are quite literally prostituting themselves because they know they can make a quick buck. But no matter how much they make, that money is going to come at a cost — which I do not mean paradoxically. If you want to make  half a million dollars in your early to late 20s, you are going to realize later that no one wants to marry you. No one wants to have children with you. No one will respect you for the rest of your life. There is a great possibility you will end up alone — and that is deeply saddening.
At the root of all of this is a lack of faith — atheism, which goes hand-in-hand with narcissism. The focus becomes all about me and what I can do for myself. Worst of all, these women view faith as a form of perversion. In our conversation, I noticed one of the women was wearing a cross above a shirt that read “made in hell.” This particular woman was the angriest of the group, probably because she is in her early thirties and is likely realizing she has less time to find a husband and even fewer prospects. I asked her about her necklace and shirt pairing and told her I was confused. She said the stone matched her shirt and she didn’t know why she was wearing the cross: “I don’t know. I don’t think of it as religious.” In the middle of her fumbling around for an answer, she expressed that she didn’t think the cross was religious, but simply thought it was cute.

This whole episode just shows how the West has lost the battle faith-wise. People openly mock Christianity, just like this woman. When I got up to leave, I looked across the table to the 22-year-old in the orange and told her I was going to pray for her, and she rejected my prayer. She said she did not want me to pray for her. What kind of person rejects a prayer? You might not believe in prayers, and you might not pray yourself, but to openly reject a prayer? I would never reject a prayer, no matter the faith of the person who offers it.
When I left that podcast, I still prayed for those young women. They need it, and all of us need it.

Big Pharma is getting more aggressive with its tactics to gain control. Why? Because it’s threatened by the increasing number of people who are becoming more aware of their ploys. Not everyone trusts their doctors quite like they did before. COVID led to the collapse of the medical mirage, so people have questions. And people want answers. We are prodding the narrative: What exactly are its intentions with our children? What is going on with the number of vaccines? What is going on with pharmaceutical care? Big Pharma is answering by passing legislation as to whether you should — or should not — have access to your children’s medical records, decisions, and medicines. <a href="https://www.carolinacarerx.org/#:~:text=CarolinaCARE%20is%20the%20home%2Ddelivery,Learn%20about%20CarolinaCARE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CarolinaCARE</a> is the first of what I’m sure will be many instances to come of medical professionals deeming children as adults so parents lose access to their children’s medical records.
CarolinaCARE is a home-delivery pharmacy service owned by Atrium Health and based out of North Carolina. But CarolinaCARE serves multiple states that have different laws pertaining to access to health information, which includes prescriptions, so <a href="https://www.carolinacarerx.org/Documents/CarolinaCARE_Age_of_Majority_FAQs.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">they have sent out a notice</a> to their clients because they are making a change “to remain compliant with laws in all the states CarolinaCARE services to ensure continued privacy of your child’s prescription records.” 
Privacy from whom? From you, the parent. 
Starting November 1, children who are 12- to 17-years-old must create new accounts on their website so they have access to their prescriptions and medications because their parents will no longer have access. That’s correct: Parents cannot view or manage their children’s prescriptions. Written in black and white on their notice read the following words: “The laws are intended to allow minors to receive prescription medication for sensitive issues, without worrying about how their parents may react.” If you have questions, you are encouraged to read their FAQs.
<div id="attachment_646739" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-646739" class="wp-image-646739 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Carolina-Care-text.png" alt="" width="512" height="388" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Carolina-Care-text.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Carolina-Care-text-300x227.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Screenshot: CarolinaCARE</div>
I have a lot of questions, the first being, how is that even plausible? How is it legal to essentially tell parents they are no longer parents? By making this change, CarolinaCARE is basically saying a 12-year-old is able to make a decision in terms of what prescriptions they are putting in their body. How does that happen? Children cannot do certain things until they are 18-years-old, when they become adults. So it completely defies logic that they would be able to make decisions pertaining to what prescription they should be on — prescriptions that have real-world implications. Of course, a parent should be in the room with a doctor when deciding whether or not their children should be on medication because parents are thinking about their child’s future. Adults can consider the possible impact and effects of prescriptions, whereas a child does not yet have that capability. That’s why they are children and why children have parents. Why would they do this?
My best guess is that because many adults are recognizing they should have never been put on drugs as a child, the move is going to be to take the medical decision-making power away from those adults. There has been public debate among adults about having been put on medications as a child, whether it be medications like Adderall or medications to transition them. More and more adults are openly speaking out against drugs, saying they have ruined their lives. Big Pharma knows that once people become adults, they can see that more clearly — because they aren’t 12.
<h4><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/candace/convicting-a-murderer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens&#8217; &#8220;Convicting A Murderer&#8221;</a></h4>
<div id="attachment_646743" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-646743" class="size-full wp-image-646743" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/CAM-advert.png" alt="" width="512" height="288" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/CAM-advert.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/CAM-advert-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />DailyWire+</div>
Yet CarolinaCARE is essentially signaling to 12-year-olds that they are now adults and can make adult decisions. So if a child professes they feel as though they are in the wrong body, a doctor could give that child prescription drugs to transition — drugs that will render that child infertile in their adult years. These are the same drugs given to pedophiles to castrate them. But children are not going to know that because they exist and think in the moment. They don’t consider what their adult life might be like; they don’t even consider what the next day will be like. They will fall prey to believing they can feel safer from their parents in making these decisions alone. 
To make matters worse (if that’s even possible), the state is getting involved because they want to further this. If this is successful and they are allowed to treat 12-year-olds as though they are adults and put them on medications that can potentially harm them in the future, they are inevitably going to be inundated with massive lawsuits against CarolinaCARE in the years to come. And I hope that there are massive lawsuits because this is absolutely despicable.
If a child turns 12 after November 1, this change will automatically take place. While this is hard news to digest, it’s news you need to be aware of, especially if you are a parent. Because while CarolinaCARE may only be in certain states now, it will be coming to a state near you.

Big Pharma’s Shocking Move To Medicate Kids Without Parental Consent

Big Pharma

Children

Drugs

Health Care

Parents rights

As I have made abundantly clear, I cannot get on board with coddle culture or new-age parenting. New-age parenting has effectively created a society of young adults who cannot come to terms with reality because they have been coddled their entire lives. But it’s all they have ever known. College campuses are full of students who don’t have any idea what hard work is and they walk around actively pursuing victimization, as oxymoronic as that seems. Not only do I not support coddle culture, but I also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kids-entertainment-out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speak out against it</a>. However, what I do support is coddle-cultured kids entering the real world. When these kids are met with reality and forced to leave the made-up world they’ve been living in, I predict they will develop more conservative principles. All it will take is their past and all its beliefs crashing down around them as they get hit with a tidal wave of reality. 
Gen Z has taken to TikTok to speak out about facing reality, and after listening to what some of them have to say, I stan Gen Z. Take 25-year-old Alison Johnson (<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@fitnesswithalison?lang=en">@fitnesswithalison</a>), who lamented her marketing degree since it’s gotten her absolutely nowhere in corporate America. Where it has gotten her is $80,000 in the hole of student loan debt. On top of that, she’s discovered she doesn’t stand a chance of landing a job that pays $150,000 because the degree, as it turns out, isn’t enough. She doesn’t have any experience, as is required by all jobs in that pay range. <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@fitnesswithalison/video/7280712734843538734?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch HERE</a>.

Marketer here. Made 30K in first role. Lived in a tiny apt where nothing worked shared w/friend met online who was also broke at the time. One of most fun times of my life tbh.

This TikTok is just comical. In her defense, Alison was told to go to university, have some fun, and everything will be great. Alison has “her literal business marketing degree.” How is she not making $200,000 a year by now? That is stressful for Alison, she is frustrated, and I feel Alison’s frustration — because these kids are deluded. They have been made to believe that life is just going to be really easy. They’ve been told all their lives to follow the right steps: go to college, get a degree, and watch your life fall into place. They don’t want to work hard. And why should they? They’ve never had to.
Situations like this always remind me of a young woman I went to college with. She came from an extremely wealthy family, and her parents paid for absolutely everything — while I worked a full-time job as a full-time student because my parents paid for nothing. They didn’t have the money to send me to college, so I worked and took out student loans to be able to go. This friend and I became fast and best friends back in my liberal days. We moved into the city after graduation, and we had both started working.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/i-m-literally-a-gay-icon-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
Neither one of us had in money, but her parents were paying for her apartment in Manhattan, until she they called her one day to give her an update on their future payment plans: For six months, they would continue to pay for everything in the city; after six months, they would begin weaning her off, only paying for 75% for a few months, then 50%, then 25%, until they would stop paying for anything at all. I was at the apartment after she had this phone call, and as we sat and talked it over, she cried and cried. She was devastated but she was also angry at her parents for doing this to her. (“Doing this to her” was how she viewed it.) I will never forget what she said to me: “If they wanted to teach me responsibility, they shouldn’t have gotten me an f-ing pony when I turned two.” I felt bad for her because she had a point. How could they expect her to understand the real world when they had gifted her a pony at two-years-old? Whereas I was a little rough around the edges, so to speak, I’d had a job since I was 15. And I was much better equipped for the real world. 
When it comes to some of the Gen Z videos on this topic, your instinct may very well be to laugh, and you may have to stifle that laughter while watching Brielle (<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@brielleybelly123" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@brielleybelly123</a>). In one of Brielle’s TikTok, she is crying because she is finding that working nine to five is quite a bit harder than she expected. She admits she is probably “being so dramatic and annoying,” but she is in her first full-time job after college, and she is commuting to the city which “takes forever to get there” but there is no way she is “going to be able to afford living in the city right now, so that’s off the table. Like, duh!” She says she gets on the train at 7:30 a.m. and doesn’t get home until 6:15 at the earliest because “you don’t get off at 5:00 … but like, I literally get off, it’s pitch black, like I don’t have energy.” She doesn’t have time or energy to workout, cook, or see friends, and she definitely doesn’t have time to meet a guy. She gets home, wants to shower, eat dinner, and go to sleep. <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@brielleybelly123/video/7291443944347405614" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch HERE.</a>

&nbsp;
I would actually like to give Brielle a hug. I can sense her sincerity. We make fun of Gen Z, but it’s our fault we are producing a generation who cannot handle the real world because we made everything so comfortable for them. They aren’t prepared. Long gone are the stories of our grandparents who told us they walked to school in the snow uphill both ways. My grandfather got up before 5:00 a.m. to work on the farm. Brielle is having a hard time getting to the train by 7:30 a.m. for her commute to work. She feels like her life is over because she actually has to work, and we have conditioned her to this. So we can laugh all we want, but it’s not her fault. It is the generations before Gen Z who have produced these individuals who have just been weakened to the point they have no sense of reality. 
But I believe if we give these people some time to meet the real world, to get acquainted with it, and to suffer in it, the things we conservatives are saying will sound much more appealing to them. They will eventually <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">come across a podcast</a> episode and realize that had they been realistic with their degree and debt and what that would mean for them in the world, they might have chosen a different path. Soon enough, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lifes-tough-get-a-helmet-man" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conservatives who sounded so harsh</a> are, instead, going to sound like people they should have been listening to all along. We will have people we can convert. That’s my opinion and prediction. 
Give them some time in the real world, and they come around to see our perspective.
