I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything.

It's the rage bait.

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little.

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts.

What do we get out of it for incubating all of this tribal warfare?

When we talked about the rise of Somali clan warfare in American politics the other day, admittedly, the evidence was mostly anecdotal.

There were a few reports and social media posts claiming that thousands of Somalis in Minneapolis had rejected Omar Fateh, the Somali mayoral candidate, because he belonged to the Darud clan.

And you see, according to these social media posts, many Somalis in Minneapolis are members of the rival Hawiye clan, and they'd rather abstain or even vote for Jacob Fry, a white guy, if you can imagine the horror, rather than betray their clan's honor and support Omar Fateh.

That's how deep these clan loyalties supposedly go.

Now, if all this is true, it's maybe the clearest sign yet, among many, many other clear signs, that all migration from Somalia and similar third world countries needs to be terminated immediately.

All of it, 100% of it. And additionally, Somalia's temporary protected status, which has shielded Somalis from deportation for decades, for no discernible reason, must be revoked as well.

I mean, whatever your position on immigration policy may be, no reasonable person can seriously suggest that we should import full-on tribal warfare into our streets.

But again, it's critically important to determine whether this story is true, whether it's accurate to say that foreign blood feuds are indeed influencing elections in this country, causing civil disturbance and so on.

And indeed, just 24 hours later, all doubt has been removed. Ilhan Omar, probably the single most vocal and resentful Somali in all of U.S.
politics,

because somehow there are a bunch of them, has just delivered a speech in which she attacks Somali voters who did not support Omar Fateh.

Specifically, she calls for Somalis who didn't support Omar Fateh, including Somalis who rejected him because of his clan affiliation, to be expelled from the country.

She wants the traitorous Somalis in the Hawiye clan to be forcibly removed from Minneapolis as quickly as possible.

In other words, in a somewhat unexpected turn of events, Somalis are now the foremost advocates for Somali deportation in this country. Ilhan Omar is to the right of Tom Homan on this one.

ICE is saying they want to prioritize the removal of illegal aliens who commit serious crimes.

Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar and the Darud clan are essentially out here calling for pre-dawn raids at the local Somali preschool,

family separations and everything.

They'll be front row at the next Trump rally chanting, send them back in a language that nobody can understand.

So, who said that tribal politics can't be entertaining at least?

And we'll play only a small portion of Omar's full remarks as reported by Andy No., since Omar is subtitled because he can't be bothered to speak in English.

So, if you're listening to the audio podcast, you know, you're not going to be able to make heads or tails of this. But here it is: watch.

Kalatana Magalid

Mel Magarin and

Now later on in this footage, according to the translation, Ilhan Omar attacks Somalis who translate her speeches into English.

She claims those Somalis are misrepresenting her words and trying to get her in trouble or even arrested. Or at least I think that's what Ilhan Omar is saying.

Based on the translation that was done by a translator, she's attacking. For all I know, the translators are messing with her in a very meta way.

That said, Omar has challenged these kinds of translations in the past with little success.

As you might remember, about two years ago, there was a dispute about what Ilhan Omar said during one of these speeches.

Specifically, there was a dispute about whether she really said that she wants to use her position in Congress to advance Somalia's interests.

Omar disputed the translation, though it was making the rounds online, where she said that very explicitly.

In response, the Daily Wire commissioned a professional, independent translation of Omar's remarks and found that the online translation was mostly accurate.

So we'll assume, especially since Omar's team hasn't pushed back on this latest video in any way, that the remarks are mostly accurate. The translation is mostly accurate.

And also, by the way, as I've said many times now, this is one of the reasons why politicians should be banned from addressing crowds in any language but English.

We as Americans, she's a congressional representative, we should know what she's saying.

And if she comes back later and says the translation wasn't accurate, guess whose fault that is? That's totally your fault. Maybe speak in English.

So if you speak in a foreign language and you get mistranslated, that's your fault. I got no sympathy for you whatsoever.

And it's not our responsibility to spend like days trying to, we got to track down a, we got to go to Somalia, track down a Somali translator.

Not our responsibility.

That's on you. Speak in English.
This is America. We speak English here.

But assuming that all that is accurate, which I think it is, that would mean that indeed all of these TikToks and social media posts coming from Somalis in Minneapolis are accurate as well.

Somalis are at each other's throats because of clan warfare to the point that they're influencing elections in this country, as many of these posts are saying.

So here's just a few of these examples where various Somalis reference Kabil or inter-tribal conflict, which is what they call it in that language, which played a key role in the race. Watch.

This video is for the Saywalahis. Let this be a lesson for you.
Let this, the whole Umar situation be a lesson for you.

If you want to break the curse from the older generations, then don't spend your time trying to please them.

If Umar spent all that time trying to please the Somalis and just spend it on other communities, he could have easily won this. You don't really have to win over the Somalis to win anything.

If you're running for a mayor, president one day, you don't need to win over the Somalis to win. You're not in Somalia.
If you're thinking Ilhan Omar, 200,000 people voted for Ilhan Omar.

Do you think all of them were Somalis? Hell no, they weren't. For damn near every other function, the entire campaign became Bakabir.
By no means, Amazon Jacob Farah was a terrible candidate.

Lakeen, you guys had Omar Fateh, who could have been the first Somali mayor. Somalia will not prosper for the next 10 years because of what just happened in Minneapolis.

A young Somali man that goes by the name of Omar Fateh was running for mayor of Minneapolis.

He asked for his people to come out and support him, to vote for him, but instead they went and they danced with a white man. I would understand if their policies didn't match.

I would understand if he just wasn't the right fit. Maybe he was just too young.

But they did it because of tribalism. Choosing a name that they've been tied to for the past hundreds of years.

Now, tribal differences are such a major part of life in Minnesota that the state's Department of Health has published guidance on this topic. Quote, clans are a very sensitive topic for many Somalis.

Enduring tension between rival clans has been a major factor in the ongoing conflict in Somalia.

Clinicians should avoid discussing clans with Somali patients as many may find it disrespectful or offensive.

So if you're a doctor, it's apparently dangerous to even broach the topic of a Somali's clan identity.

You know, you might get roughed up, I guess. I don't know.
That's how important these affiliations are to these people.

I mean, they're voting based on it's very important to them, but you're not allowed to ask them about it. They come to our country, and this is how they operate, but we're not allowed to ask them.

How dare you? How dare you as an American expect them to explain themselves in any way?

That's the attitude. Now, to be clear, it's not just last Tuesday's vote in in Minneapolis that was influenced and probably decided by these various clan differences among Somalis.

This phenomenon is far more widespread than that. In fact, Somalis have brought their tribal disputes all the way to Maine,

where less than 10,000 Somalis reportedly live. I mean, if there's anywhere in the world you'd think you could go and you wouldn't have to deal with Somali culture, you'd think it'd be Maine.

up in

the mountains, in the woods. No, they got it up there too.
This is an analysis from Steve Robinson, an editor of the Maine Wire, one of the top news outlets in the state.

Quote: A Somali source in Maine offers this explainer on the clan dynamics unfolding in Maine/slash/U.S. politics.

The Darud clan dominates Somali political representation in Maine, but by population, other clans have massive presence, but for some reason, the Darud love power.

People including figures like Ilhan Omar, Decca Dalak,

Omar Fateh, Safiya Khalid, Abdullah Ali are just good old-fashioned American names there, are from the same sub-clans of Darud,

Ogadan, and Majitin.

In Somalia, however, the Darud are just one of the four major clans alongside Hawiyeh, Rahanween,

and Dur without overall dominance.

So these are.

This is stuff you got to know now to understand American politics.

Now, before we continue with Steve Robinson's post, it probably goes without saying that from the perspective of actual Americans, none of these geographical differences or clan affiliations really matter or should matter.

All of these people need to go back to Somalia without exception.

The Somali legislators in Maine sound exactly like the Somali legislators in Minnesota. They're all talking about the importance of representing Somalia and not America.
Watch.

So, again, if you listen to the audio translation, that is a Maine represent a state rep in Maine who is saying that Somalis should prioritize their own country, which is Somalia, and they should prioritize developing Somalia.

That's her priority as a state representative in the state of Maine.

And they want to develop Somalia, not by going back to Somalia where they belong, but by coming here and stealing from us and sending our resources back to their home country.

That's what they want to do.

It is in every sense a parasitic relationship.

These are not people who've come here to help America. They're people who have come here to take the resources and bring it back to their godforsaken, failed state

country that they came from. Now, when Americans see clips like this, you know, we don't exactly think of the Hawiye or the Darud clan,

which as far as I know is completely unrelated to the song Sandstorm, but I'm not sure. We just think of Somalis and we want them out of the country.
And that's the appropriate response.

But as Steve Robinson reports, there's a lot more going on under the hood.

Quote, Somali immigrants from these other clans, particularly in Minnesota's large diaspora, have grown resentful of Darud's rising influence in U.S. politics.
For instance, when Nasri Warsam,

non-Darud, ran for office in Minneapolis back in 2021, Darud-aligned groups reportedly blocked him and supported an Indian-born woman instead, referring to a non-Somali over someone with, preferring a non-Somali over someone with a rival clan.

This intra-clan rivalry has led Hawiye,

Rahanween, and Der members, including those from Somaliland, which flies its own flag and seeks independence from Somalia, Somalia, to back non-Somali candidates.

They support Jewish incumbent Jacob Fry for mayor over Somali opponent from a different clan, prioritizing Klan loyalty over ethnic or religious solidarity.

Again, this is American politics now.

Just wonderful.

What's the downside? I can't see one.

Now, not that I doubt Steve Robinson's reporting, but I wanted to look into the case of Nasri Warsane to see the details of how a non-Darud politician politician might be shut out by Darud-aligned groups.

And just out of a morbid sense of curiosity, I wanted to get a sense of what happened here. And I came across this video, which again is subtitled.

This is former Minneapolis City Council candidate, Nasri Warsam's version of events, a version of what happened to him. Watch.

I also like how all these Somali politician videos look like they were shot on camcorders in 1993.

So they're in this country. They still have not discovered iPhones somehow.

Anyway, Nasri Warsain, the non-Darud, is explaining how Ilhan Omar and her Klan blocked him from ever getting the Democrat Party's endorsement.

Instead of backing Warsain, the Democrats backed an ethnically Pakistani woman named Aisha Chugtai.

Quote, They shouldn't be teaming up to block me from ever getting the party's endorsement simply because I come from Mogadishu,

he said. And apparently people from Mogadishu belong to to a separate clan from the Darud, known as the Hawiye.

Now, the official story is that the state Democrat Party, known as the DFL, blocked Warseim because of an altercation at a political convention and not because of his clan identity.

This is from the local Fox affiliate back in 2023.

Quote, the DFL's executive committee voted to approve bylaws banning Warsaim on Tuesday after the organization conducted an investigation into the chaos.

of the Ward 10 convention that had concluded Warsaim's campaign was responsible for the conflicts that emerged after his supporters rushed toward the stage when incumbent Aisha Chugtai was about to speak.

And by the way, here's what that confrontation looked like.

This is what a political convention in Minnesota looks like now and sounds like.

Import the third world, you end up with third world political conventions. Import the third world, you end up with third world politics.
That's the way it goes.

Now, you could debate whether this altercation is worth banning a candidate from participating in a political party that's supposedly committed to democracy, but at a minimum, based on this footage, it's plausible that Warsam has a point.

It looks a lot like his supporters feel they were being robbed and mistreated, and he was taken out in a backroom deal.

Certainly, there are Somali news outlets that seem to think these backroom deals are becoming more and more common.

This is a report from Waaga Kusub Media, which obviously is a name you can trust, even if you can't pronounce it.

Quote, members of the Hawiye community, who form a significant portion of the Somali population of Minneapolis, originally from Mogadishu, Gamudug, and Hirshabel, southwest and Jubbaland regions, have been emboldened by Jacob Fry's win and are now vowing to reshape future elections, including the next congressional race involving Ilhan Omar.

Now, of course, that would be the best possible outcome here, short of mass deportation.

Imagine if Somalis are responsible for ousting Ilhan Omar from Congress.

How exactly would they spin that outcome on MSNBC or MSNOW or whatever it's called now? And how would Ilhana Mar respond in that scenario? What exactly would that meltdown look like?

Well, courtesy of Ilhana Mar herself, we actually don't need to guess the answer to that question. Watch.

I have no worry. I don't know how they take away my citizenship and like deport me, but it's but I don't even know like why that's like such a scary threat.

Like I'm not the eight-year-old who escaped war anymore. I'm grown.
My kids are grown. Like I can go live wherever I

So apparently she doesn't mind the idea of being deported.

She certainly wouldn't miss anything about this country, which she openly despises.

So there's a real win-win possibility here. All that's needed is for the Trump administration or the Somali community, as the case may be, to step up to the plate.

And then once Ilhan Amar is gone, we would need a lot more deportations all over the country. Somali tribal conflicts aren't just spilling out in the open in Minnesota and Maine.

There's also a very large Somali presence in Ohio. In fact, the Somali population in Columbus is the second largest in the entire country.

The clans in Columbus include the Darud clan, which is the majority, as well as the Haiwiye, the Dur, and so on. So the demographic makeup is a lot like Minneapolis.

The same is true in the Seattle metro area, where tens of thousands of Somalis live for some reason.

As all these populations grow, the tribal tensions are are going to become more pronounced and more violent.

I mean, we can all see that happening. More and more candidates will be elected or sabotaged on the basis of their clan, just like we're seeing in Minneapolis.
All of that is inevitable.

And in return for all of this,

as we tolerate all of this, as we bring in these third world Somalis

from their hellhole country,

and we watch

tribal warfare

unfold in our own communities.

What do we get out of it?

That's always my question.

What do we receive in return as Americans? Well, we receive nothing.

Nothing at all. We get nothing out of any of this.
For incubating all of this tribal warfare, What do we get? Well, we'll be defrauded,

humiliated,

and then discarded the moment we're not useful to these people.

They'll either destroy each other or they'll destroy us first. There's no other possible outcome if we allow this to continue.

So we should not allow it to continue.

Revoke Somalia's temporary protected status, which never should have been granted in the first place.

We gave the designation to Somalia in the early 1990s because of the collapse of the failed authoritarian regime that Ilhan Omar's father worked for.

And we've kept renewing it ever since for no reason.

For no reason that benefits us.

And that needs to end.

And the deportations need to begin.

You know, we need to, Trump should announce, okay, this is over. We are not accepting any more Somalis.
Period.

Can't come here. You got the whole rest of the world you can go to or stay in your own country.
Not here. Sorry.
We don't need you. We don't want you.
You don't contribute anything.

It doesn't help us. Sorry.
No. Doors closed.

We need to stop pretending that we're responsible for housing foreigners because they can't manage their own countries.

And if we don't, if we allow this favorable treatment to continue, then we're all going to get a very detailed clan-by-clan, up-close and personal history lesson as to why exactly countries like Somalia have torn themselves apart.

And by that point, once we've all learned that lesson, we'll be left with nothing.

And the Somalis, including Ilhan Amar, will have happily moved on to the next country that they will strip mine, denigrate, and ultimately destroy.

But

really, it's up to us.

Now let's get to our five headlines.

Let's be honest, most dress clothes are uncomfortable, high maintenance, and just don't feel very good to wear. Spend too much time ironing, dry cleaning, and tugging at stiff fabrics.

That's why I love Mizen and Main. They make classic menswear with performance fabrics.
So looking sharp doesn't have to be a hassle.

These guys actually invented the performance fabric dress shirt over 10 years ago, and they've been perfecting it ever since with modern fabrics that really deliver.

Their shirts and pants look refined and professional. But here's the thing, they are stretchy, lightweight, moisture wicking, and wrinkle resistant.
Everything's completely machine washing.

So no more ironing or dry cleaning runs, nothing like that. So they completely did away with the worst part part about dressing nice.
As a busy guy with a family, that's a game changer for me.

The moment you put their clothes on, you feel the difference.

You get that professional style without sacrificing comfort, whether you're in the office, traveling for work, or even just out on the weekend. I love my Miz and Maine clothes.

Quality is great, but my favorite part is that it looks ready to wear after being cleaned. And I don't have to iron.
I just take it out of the dryer, throw it on. That's what I'm looking for.

Laziness and style. Those are the two.
That's the combination. That's the sweet spot for me.
And Miz Mizin and Maine has that covered. Right now, Ms.

Maine is offering our listeners 20% off your first purchase at mizinandmaine.com, promo code Walsh20. That's mizin spelt M-I-Z-Z-E-N, and Maine, M-A-I-N.com, promo code Walsh20.

Look, you know, I usually go crazy over holiday sales, but here's the thing.

When something actually makes a difference in your life, when it's built to last and makes every single day better, that's worth paying attention to.

Blankets, throw pillows,

duvets. It's all built to last.

Colin Rugg reports.

Justin, man accused of throwing coins and shouting F for the Jews at Dave Portnoy outside a Mississippi pizza shop has been charged according to TMZ.

20-year-old Patrick McClintock has been arrested and charged with disturbing the peace. Sergeant

Brandon Lovelady says, every person has the right to feel safe and respected in our community.

Offensive words alone are protected, but when behavior disrupts a public event or risks violence, the Starkville Police Department will take steps to help maintain safety and security.

So, this guy's been arrested and charged with a crime with disturbing the peace, is the crime for yelling F the Jews at Dave Portnoy when Portnoy was, I guess, in town doing one of his pizza review things.

And this guy came up and yelled at him. Here's the video of the incident.
Watch.

I like it.

Hey, f the Jews!

Oh my gosh.

That was awful.

Hey,

you!

A couple things to say about this. First of all, obviously the kid is wrong,

obviously, for behaving that way. It's gross, vulgar, crass, really stupid, and evil.
Expressing hatred like that towards an entire group of people is evil.

And this was, of course, unprovoked, not that it would be okay if it was provoked, but Portnoy was just doing a pizza review. And I don't think there was any prior

confrontation at all with this guy. He just walked up and yelled at him.

So he's in the wrong, totally and completely. No doubt about that.
Does that mean he should have been charged with a crime? Well, that's a different question, clearly.

There are a lot of really bad things people can say that

we would agree, or most of us would agree, should not be crimes. That's part of what free speech is all about.

And

we should be clear that he was charged for the words he said. I know some people are trying to pretend that he was charged because he threw coins.

You can hear in the video, you can hear the coins hit the ground.

But he wasn't charged for throwing coins. The coins, it wasn't like this was an assault charge because he threw coins at Dave Portnoy.
The coins didn't even hit Dave, as far as I can tell.

They fall right in front of him. And

you could see Dave looking down at the coins as they hit the ground. So this was not an assault charge.
This was, you know, throwing a couple of coins on the ground is rude, definitely.

It's not a criminal act.

Okay, throwing coins on the ground, like in any of the contexts, and you wouldn't be charged with a crime for that.

This is not attempted murder, murder by pennies or something. So the coins really had nothing to do with the charge.
The charge is not assault. It's not battery.
It's disturbing the peace.

So he was charged for yelling the words, the words F the Jews.

And the police sergeant said that he was disruptive and that Dave Pournoy has a right to feel safe and respected, quote unquote, in the community. So that is the logic behind the charge.

So here's my take on this. And there are some people who are celebrating the fact that this guy was hit with charges.

They say that it's great that he was hit with the charges. There are others who are saying, well, this is an infringement on free speech.

And so taking kind of an absolutist free speech position that, hey, it's a horrible thing to say, but

it's why we have free speech rights. You know, you don't need the First Amendment to protect things that everybody agrees with and everyone thinks are good.

You need it for the that people find objectionable. So that's kind of the two sides on this.

And I'm looking at it from a different angle because I think in a vacuum, you could make a reasonable argument for either position.

But here's my problem.

You know, keep this Dave Portnoy incident in mind

as we move on to another incident that also happened this week. Actually, this was last night.

So last night at Berkeley, leftist Antifa protesters, terrorists, actually, they've been designated a terror group. So if that means anything, then I mean, well, that's part of the thing here.

Does that mean anything? Does that have any implication at all?

So far, it seems like it hasn't. So far, it seems like calling them a

domestic terrorist organization has no implication to them whatsoever.

So, but Antifa terrorist showed up at a TPUSA event. And by the way, this was an event featuring apparently Rob Schneider and Christian apologist Frank Turek, who was a close friend of

Charlie's. And

someone who's also done a lot of great work, by the way.

So these are not right-wing extremists at this event. I mean, Rob Schneider, he's a nice guy.
I've met him a few times. Very nice guy.

Very much a moderate conservative, you know, and I think that he would. agree with that label.

This is not a far-right person. This is Rob Schneider.

And Antifa showed up anyway

and had a hissy fit over a Rob Schneider event.

And their protest/slash riot went on for many hours, late into the night. But

I want to show you one. We'll look at a couple of things.
But I first just want to show you this. So this is one piece of footage from earlier in the day

when the crowd is chanting. And they're chanting about Charlie Kirk, or they're referencing Charlie Kirk.
And listen to what they say.

So just to be clear, if you couldn't make it out,

They were chanting, F your Dead Homie.

Obviously referencing Charlie Charlie Kirk,

who was killed. And now they're saying, F him, F your dead homie.

Now, as I mentioned, as the night went on, they got more belligerent. They got more and more belligerent about Rob Schneider speaking at the college.

And here they are later in the night trying to cross over the barricades that

the cops set up. And we could.
When you look at this footage, it's indistinguishable from any other Antifa riot over the last decade.

It's just the same thing over and over and over again. They're not stopping.
They're not calming down. They're not pulling back.
They're not moderating. They're not becoming less violent, not at all.

Because why would they? They have not suffered any real consequences. So why would they?

So here they are later in the night. Watch this.

not birthday, touches out of birthday, party style of birthday, that is out of birthday,

that is out of birthday,

So again, that's a scene that we've witnessed a million times.

But let's go back to the other video. So they're chanting, F your dead homie.

And you think about that Dave Portnoy video, F the Jews.

Here's my question.

If we're going to arrest a kid who yelled, F the Jews,

Why

haven't we done? Why isn't it that every single one of these Antifa thugs are under arrest right now for yelling, F your dead homie?

Why aren't all of them under arrest right now?

How could it possibly be justified to arrest the former, the guys that F your Jews, and not the latter? The whole crowd of people yelling, F your dead homie, after Charlie Kirk was just assassinated,

especially if the pretense is disturbing the peace.

Well, who disturbed the peace more between those two incidents? Can anyone possibly argue that the Port New guy disturbed the peace, but these thugs did not? Can anyone make that argument?

And this is the problem. As far as I know, there were maybe a couple of arrests at Berkeley last night.

Maybe.

There certainly were not mass arrests. They weren't showing up with a bus and just throwing everybody in handcuffs and chains and throwing them into the bus and taking them to jail.

They didn't do that. They never do that.

And yet this other guy was arrested. So this is the issue.
Now, look, I realize it's easy to deflect here and say, well, these are different jurisdictions.

I understand that. Okay.
I know how the law works. I understand these are different jurisdictions.

But

you're hiding from the point that I'm trying to make here.

the point is that across the country,

as we have seen, on like a national scale, the law is not evenly applied. That's the point.
These leftist scumbags are still, even now under this administration, they are still given a pass.

They are still treated with kid gloves. They are still given carte blanche.

And we're all sick of it.

It's not just that we're sick of it. It can't continue this way.

Everything breaks down when you've got a certain group and you look at it and say, well, they can do whatever they want, basically. The rules don't apply to them.

We're going to apply the rules as strictly as we can to all these people over here, but not them.

It doesn't work that way. You cannot have a society that way.

Certainly not a civilized one.

You know, with the F the Jews guy, whatever his name was,

what happened is that the authorities decided that they objected to his behavior so much that they would find something to charge him with. Is it even going to stick?

Is a disturbing the peace charge going to stick? I don't know.

You could argue it's like,

it's kind of thin gruel here. I mean, he shouted the thing, but it was over in two seconds.
How much was the peace disturbed? I don't know.

But it doesn't matter. Like they just said, okay, we have these laws on the books and we find that behavior so objectionable, we're just not going to tolerate it.

And so if you do that, we're going to find something to charge you with.

We're going to look in the books and, you know, we're going to find it in there. And these laws are on the books and we're going to try to apply them.

Maybe you beat it in court, but hey, good luck. And at the very least, you're going to have to do that.
At the very least,

you're going to get arrested. You're going to get your mug shot taken.
Your mug shot's going to be out in the public, and you're going to end up in court and you're going to have to fight it in court.

So at the very least, it's going to be a major inconvenience for you. So at a minimum, that will be the penalty.

So that's the attitude with somebody like this.

And

that's my question. Why isn't this attitude ever, ever, ever applied to these leftist thugs?

And it doesn't do any good to say, well, it's Berkeley. It's different.
No, it doesn't matter where it happens. It It doesn't matter where it happens.
It's the same story, okay?

Everywhere, and we all know it. So

why aren't we looking for anything and everything to charge these people with?

Every time they gather together and start behaving this way, why aren't we saying, you know, I'm going to look for anything I can possibly charge you with? Every single thing.

Maybe it'll stick, maybe it won't. Maybe some of it will stick, maybe, but we're going to charge you with everything.

I mean, disturbing the peace could be thrown at all of them, every single protest. You could charge all of them with it every time.

You could hit them with a lot more than that, but certainly at least that, and yet it never is.

So this is the double standard. This is the two-tier justice system.
This is the problem.

I mean, you could make an argument, a reasonable argument, for not charging any of the people that we talked about, not charging the Portnoy guy, and even not charging the leftists.

You could make that argument. I mean, you could make a just like absolutist sort of free speech argument, and you could do that.
You could also make a reasonable argument for charging all of them.

But you cannot make a reasonable argument for charging only the Portnoy guy, but not these leftists.

You can't make that argument, and yet this is what happens.

This is the dynamic that nobody can defend,

nobody can rationalize it,

nobody can explain it. Well, we can explain it, but nobody can

defend it, certainly. And yet, it's

this is it.

Now, by the way, as attendees left the event last night in Berkeley, they were made to walk through a gauntlet of leftists screaming at them as they were leaving.

And here's that: watch.

All right.

So

disturbing the peace

harassment.

Yeah,

there it is.

These are a masked mob

of people who have already expressed their desire to see people like you killed, and they are screaming at you, a lot of F-bombs being thrown.

None of them were arrested.

None of them will face any consequence

at all.

Even though they are part of a group that was just declared a domestic terrorist organization.

And as I said, this is just not sustainable.

It just isn't.

All right, here's something

also grotesque. Stephanie Miller is a liberal radio host, apparently, and she recently met Representative Jasmine Crockett

for some reason or another. And

so here's how that went.

This is the caption that she wrote on X. Why, yes, I did kiss the sneakers of Jasmine Crockett, and I do worship the ground she walks on.
And she was lovely about it.

And sure enough, you can see the photos there.

They're the photos. She's on her hands and knees kissing the feet of Jasmine Crockett.
literally prostrate on the ground before her, worshiping her, licking her shoes.

And then you got a bunch of other women sort of standing around, smiling

approvingly.

There's one woman, I don't know, that woman on the bottom left,

look at that bottom left. This woman

has gone insane with joy.

She is so

pleased by

this spectacle of another white woman bowing before a black woman. That look at her.

She's in a state of like psychotic ecstasy over it. She cannot contain herself

and just pure joy

at this humiliation ritual that's unfolding.

I can't think of a better encapsulation of modern leftism than this. I mean, this is it.

This is the most perfect photo ever taken when it comes to illustrating the leftist mind virus.

You'll never see a better one. I mean, this is

the four four of them together, those four photos.

A middle-aged liberal white woman on her hands and knees kissing the feet of a semi-literate black DEI congresswoman who isn't even qualified to be a waitress at Waffle House, much less sit in Congress, and yet here she is.

And amazingly, of course, these are also the people who claim that Trump voters are in a cult.

These are the people who, these are also the people who go around

chanting no kings.

In fact, I looked this up, and unsurprisingly, Stephanie Miller herself,

when I checked this, she has attended multiple no kings rallies.

She has given speeches at no kings rallies.

So she's been at the front of the line marching, saying no kings.

And yet,

here she is kissing the feet of a a politician

while claiming that she doesn't want a king.

Well, if you don't want a king, Stephanie,

maybe the first step is to get off of your knees,

you slave.

Maybe if you don't want kings, maybe remove your lips from that politician's shoes. If you don't want kings, that's the first step.

First step is take your mouth off of their feet.

That's the first thing I would recommend.

You peasant,

you serf,

bowing before this woman. And look, we as Americans,

we do not bow before any man or woman.

You know, it is disgraceful to do that. It's the most un-American thing you could possibly do.
Americans bow before God and God alone.

But to make matters worse, You are bowing before the most mediocre human who has ever lived on the planet.

The only thing impressive about Jasmine Crockett is how unimpressive she is.

The most unimpressive, nothing of a person who has ever lived.

A person who is so thoroughly middling and uninspiring that in an actual meritocracy, she would not advance, certainly not beyond the position of like shift manager at Dairy Queen.

And I don't even, and she wouldn't even be good at that.

So I don't mean this as any slight of of the shift managers at Dairy Queen, but she's, she's the kind of man, she's the one who she shows up when you ask to speak to a manager because they got your order wrong, but they won't fix it because they don't care.

And then she appears and she has an even worse attitude than the employee you were just dealing with. So that's Jasmine Crockett.

That was her real like calling in life.

To be a, to be a Dairy Queen shift manager with a terrible attitude.

And

yet here she is. You know, that should have been the highest rung.
And yet she reached all the way to Congress because the left, as we see here, worships mediocrity.

I mean, literally worships it.

As long as it's black mediocrity. They worship black mediocrity.
And then, you know.

It's important to add that stipulation in.

Okay, let's play this. This is from 60 Minutes.

And they're trying to explain why it's terrible that federal funding was cut off from institutions like Harvard. And they interviewed a Harvard researcher who says that,

you know, she's on the brink of a major discovery. In fact, she's on the brink of potentially curing or preventing breast cancer, could save millions of lives.
And yet federal funding was taken away.

by the evil Nazi fascists. Millions will die because of it.
This is what she claims.

Let's watch.

If you were talking to the American public, what would your research do for them?

My research has the potential to prevent their daughters and their wives and their cousins from developing breast cancer.

And I don't think any taxpayer would want to interfere with progress on a project like that. Joan Brugge is director of the Ludwig Cancer Center at Harvard Medical School.

For 50 years, she has applied for and won competitive federal grants that helped uncover how tumors form and resist treatment and discovered innovative therapies.

Did I send you that note about when her million-dollar annual funding was canceled last spring? She was leading a team that had identified the earliest precursors of breast cancer.

The ultimate goal is to find a treatment that will eliminate those cells that carry the mutations. And in effect, prevent the cancer.
Yes, prevent the cancer. Last spring, you got an email.

What did it say? It listed two grants from the National Institute of Health and said that they were terminated. Terminated.
Terminated. What went through your mind? It was just like a gut punch.

My knees buckled, and I had to sit down because I just never imagined that research focused on a disease like cancer would be canceled for a reason that was unrelated to the quality of the research or the progress of the research.

But this was across the board for issues relating to diversity and anti-Semitism at Harvard. Okay, so

this is the claim.

She says that this funding was cut off and so she can't do the research.

Now, I should mention that there are claims online, competing claims, credible claims, I think, that this woman's research was not going to have any significant impact on breast cancer at all.

So there's a guy named Jason Locasale responded and he said this, I'm actually the lead and corresponding author on the most cited research paper of this person's career.

Someone told me that today and I verified it. The claim that her work has any substantial effect on breast cancer is a dramatic overstatement.

Like much of what's being presented in this 60-minute segment, it's a PR narrative designed to grab money.

It's dishonesty from these institutions about what technology from the life sciences can actually do.

And it says more about the way universities grif the public for sympathy and funding than anything about science itself. So

well said.

And probably all that needs to be said in response to this, this is a money grab by this woman and by the institution she works for. 60 Minutes is

presenting it as

uncritically, you know, they're presenting this propaganda as if it's a fact, no pushback on it at all, no skepticism.

I mean, you got this researcher sitting there saying, you know, I was just, I was going to cure breast cancer tomorrow, you know, and now I can't.

And this idiot reporter sitting there, like, oh, really? Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

You mean if we took this funding away, you were, you were just hours away from curing breast cancer and they took your funding away and now you can't? Well, that must obviously be true.

That can't be anything but true. I will ask no follow-up questions at all.

That was his response.

But let's let's pretend for a moment that she actually is working on a cure for breast cancer. Let's pretend that she is on the brink of saving millions of lives.
Well, think about that.

That actually makes it worse. That makes it worse for her and for Harvard.

Because that would mean that she would be telling us, in that case, that she could cure breast cancer, but now she's not going to do it.

Because we aren't giving her millions of dollars out of our own pockets, out of the pockets of taxpayers.

So what she's saying is,

sorry, guys. I mean, if you gave me another million bucks, maybe I could save your lives from breast cancer, but you won't give it to me.
So I guess you have to die. Sorry, folks.

Meanwhile, Harvard itself has an endowment that is at this point more than $50 billion.

Harvard is sitting on more than $50 billion.

The grant for this woman's research was, we were told, a million dollars a year.

That's about, I'm not good at math, that's about 0.002% of Harvard's endowment.

It's the equivalent of if you had a million dollars in the bank and someone came up to you and said, hey, I could cure cancer. I just need some money.
Oh, how much do you need? 20 bucks.

And you said, no, I'm sorry, can't afford it.

Go get a grant. I don't know.
Get it from the taxpayer. Get everyone to chip in.
I can't. Can't afford it.
Sorry. Can't give you 20 bucks to cure cancer.
Hey, it's not my fault. It's all their fault.

It's a taxpayer's fault.

What do you want me to do? I give you 20 bucks. Next thing I know, I'm broke.

That's the equivalent of that. And so Harvard won't spend, they have the money to cure cancer, and they won't spend it.

They're hoarding the money. Rather than spend a tiny infinitesimal fraction of it on life-saving research.

now there are only two explanations for this. One is that her research is not life-saving, it's all a scam,

and Harvard knows it.

Or two, her research is going to save lives, but Harvard would rather millions of people die

instead of dipping into their own coffers and spending a little bit of money, like a few bucks, you know, in basically

on

curing cancer. So they're holding millions of cancer victims hostage,

essentially, in order to extract money from the taxpayers.

Like that's the other possibility. Either she is a grifter and a scam artist, or

they are willingly allowing millions to die because they don't want to spend their own money.

I mean, in either case, Harvard is the villain here. I mean,

no matter how you slice it, Harvard is the villain.

But I think we all know that the first scenario is the reality here.

This woman is not going to cure cancer. She's been at it for 50 years, hasn't done it yet.
How many millions have been wasted by this woman? How many millions have been spent?

What does she have to show for it? Nothing.

And this is most federally funded research is like this. It's all a scam.
It's all just a big grift.

I mean, there's so much

grifting going on here.

And you got a whole class of scientists and researchers who have been bilking the taxpaying public for decades, extracting billions of dollars collectively, and have not done anything.

And it's not like the average American, we have no control over this money being sent. We have no way of like checking in on it.
We're also not scientists, so we can't,

it's like, we don't know.

So if a scientist, if some woman in a lab coat sits down and says, you know, I,

because of this, that, and this thing over here, look at this little petri dish, you see, because of that, it shows I'm about to cure cancer. Well, most of us, if you're like me, it's like,

that doesn't sound right, but I can't say for sure it's not true.

And because of that, they're able to exploit that to just continue extracting billions and billions of dollars from us

rather than

these universities spending their own money.

Which,

why do you have $50 billion if you're not going to spend it on that? If the research is worthwhile and it could really cure cancer, why do you have the 50 billion if not for that?

We have less than 2,000 Dailywire lifetime memberships remaining. Turns out having all access benefits for life with no renewals is something everybody wants.
So here are your options.

You could buy one while they're still available, or you could win mine. That's right.
I have my very own lifetime membership to give away and I made it ridiculously easy to enter.

Download the free Daily Wire Plus app in the App store open it and tap follow under my picture that's it you're entered and who knows i could be calling you to give you my personal lifetime membership but before any of that happens you need to download the deliver plus app and follow me now to enter to win um finally this is something i saw on social media not really a headline but zoran mamdani's wife uh this is just funny anyway so we'll mention it.

Zorana Mamdani's wife is somebody named Rama Dhawaji,

and the media says that she's an artist.

So

they've tried to make a big deal out of this woman being an artist, claiming that she's an acclaimed artist in New York, you know, an immigrant artist in New York, their favorite, favorite kind of immigrant female artist from New York.

Maybe not from New York, but she lives there.

And so the media can't get enough of it. Well, somebody went and grabbed some of the samples of her artwork, which she posts on Instagram.
This is Rama, Rama Duaji.

And here, they tweeted out. You can see the art here.

And I don't know, you look at this and you really just see the state of art right now. You see what passes for art

when you look at that. There are two things that really jump out at you.

First of all, this stuff is really bad.

I mean, it's hideous. I could draw better than this.
And I'm not exaggerating. And I'm not a good artist.

I was a good artist in sixth grade. I actually passed for, if you could believe it.
If you could believe it at sixth grade, I had potential as an artist. I really did.
I was pretty good,

pretty good. In my sketch pad, I would draw pictures and they were decent for a sixth grade.
I never developed past that. I just kind of,

everyone thought I had potential. Turned out, no, no potential.
This is as far as you're going as an artist. And it kind of cut off right there.
And,

but I progressed up to about the level of sixth grade as an artist. and I still would am better than this.
I don't even know what that, I could easily do that.

And

if a high schooler drew that,

you would take their sketch pad away from them and you would say, okay, you got to stop doodling now. This is not for you.

You don't have a, this is, this is not your, you need to go pick up a math book, kid. This is not.

You have no potential in this, in this world. So it's just bad from a technical and aesthetic perspective.

But this, of course, is the dominant feature of most modern art is that it's ugly.

And ugliness is kind of the point, which is why it's not art at all.

Art that is ugly on purpose

or even by accident is not art.

Art is not, despite what you are told, what we're all told, art is not entirely subjective.

It is a subjective expression by the artist, because they are conveying, communicating something to us. So it's subjective in that case, in that sense.

But there is an objective quality to it because art, by definition, is supposed to be beautiful. Emerson said that art is the creation of beauty, which I think,

if you had to come up with a definition of art, I think that's a pretty good one. That's the best definition anyone's ever offered, I think.
Art is the creation of beauty. Art conveys beauty.

It creates and conveys beauty. And an artist is someone who can create beauty.
To experience art is to experience beauty.

Now, that doesn't mean that art can't be sad or tragic or difficult or anything like that. Art doesn't always have to be sunshine and happiness, okay? But it does have to be beautiful or it's not art.

And that's what an artist is. An artist is someone who can

find and see and create beauty in a way that other people can't.

And if they can create beauty out of something that is sad or tragic or difficult, then that's all the more reason why they are an artist. That's the talent of being an artist.

So this is anti-art because it's ugly.

But the other thing you notice is that it's intensely,

like exclusively self-referential.

Every portrait

is of her own face. It's so on the nose that when I saw this, I was like, I had to go check her Instagram myself

because it's so on the nose. And no, this is, yeah, this is it.
She even depicts herself in the George Floyd pose, doing the Floyd, as the kids would say, with the knee on the neck. And

she even puts herself, she puts herself in everything. She cannot see outside of herself.
The only thing she sees in the world is herself. And this is the other feature of modern art, is that

it is ugly and

also narcissistic. It is ugly and self-focused.

And why is that? Well, because because these are narcissists. These are people who hate themselves and yet are obsessed with themselves.

And anybody who's obsessed with

themselves will also hate themselves.

They are obsessed with how much they hate themselves, obsessed with the negative feelings that they have about themselves. And that becomes the subject of every piece of art or anti-art,

quasi-art that they create. And it's not that there isn't anything interesting or legitimate that you can do with art to, you know, it's like, it's not that you can't create art about yourself

or art that it has self-introspection, that the self is certainly a valid subject for art. But if all you can see is yourself,

and for the leftist, that's all they can see. That's all that exists.
That really is all that exists, is the self.

And if that's the case, then there's nothing interesting you can say about the self.

Because the self is a worthy subject of art if you're looking at yourself in the context of this amazing world, this vast cosmos, this, you know, the self in relation to the world, the self in relation to God,

the self in relation to others, in relation to those you love, and so on and so on. And there's a lot to be said artistically there.

The possibilities are infinite.

But these modern artists, these fake artists,

they are

only thinking about the self for its own sake,

the self as the only thing that exists in the world.

And when you do that, you end up with something that is just empty and ugly and superficial and not art.

But I suppose I'm being naive because, you know, when these political figures

The Hunter Bidens of the world, the, what is it, what's the, Kamala Harris's stepdaughter, L. M.
Hoff or whatever, also pretends to be an artist.

Usually there's another reason why these kinds of people get into art, and it's not because they want to express something about themselves or the world.

You know, it's so that you can like do a little doodle and

sell it at an auction. And look at that, someone paid you $500,000 for that little doodle.
That's strange. Let's not look into that.

No. giant money laundering scheme, basically.

I don't know that to be the case, but that's usually, that's very often why these people get into art in the first place so i don't know if that's the case here in any case that will uh do it for the show went kind of along with all that so won't be a daily cancellation today uh but we'll be back tomorrow have a great day talk tomorrow godspeed
