So when it comes to the reaction to the second attempt to assassination on Donald Trump inside eight weeks, the reaction is sort of astonishing. The left wing media, the legacy media, the Democrats, but I repeat myself because of course, they're all one big board. They have decided that the real problem here is Donald Trump's rhetoric. So if somebody tried to assassinate Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, God forbid, the problem would be Donald Trump's rhetoric.
And if somebody attempts to assassinate Donald Trump, the problem is also Donald Trump's rhetoric. And underlying all of this is a feeling that some on the left have actually sort of let slip, which is that it would be much better if Donald Trump just went away. If something very, very bad happened to Donald Trump. Now many of the people on the left are not gonna say they want Donald Trump to get shot in the head or something as graphic as all that.
There are a few who will sort of let that slip from time to time, but there's a feeling that Donald Trump is uniquely dangerous figure, which is why you've seen every major democratic politician say precisely that. They are always coming out and suggesting that Donald Trump is somehow a unique danger to the republic. And for those who don't have an institutional memory of politics, because of course, there was a politics before Donald Trump. Democrats used to say the same thing, believe it or not, about Mitt Romney and John McCain and George W.
Bush. They said it more with regard to Donald Trump because Donald Trump is out of the box and because Donald Trump defeated their chosen candidate in Hillary Clinton in 2016. However, there's always this feeling, there's almost an assassination mania among folks on the left when there is a right wing president. There's an entire movie that was made while George W.
Bush was president of the United States called the assassination of George W. Bush. And it's basically a fantasy. So the question is why?
And I think the answer has to do with the way the right sees the left and the way the left sees the right in this country. So it's been talked about a lot, but by polling data, conservatives tend not to see people on the left as evil. They tend to see them as misguided. And people on the left tend to see people on the right as evil as actually morally deficient in some key respect.
But people on the left also have another viewpoint that makes it hard for them to sustain that. People on the left believe that human beings are inherently good and that right wingers are evil, which is kind of conflicting. If you're on the right, you tend to believe, typically speaking, human beings are capable of both good and evil. And because human beings are capable of both good and evil, many people who are doing bad things are not doing so because they're innately evil.
They're doing so because they've made bad decisions. Weirdly enough, a belief in the imperfect ability of mankind leads to a forgiveness oriented nature toward your fellow man. If you believe that human beings are not perfectable, if you believe that all human beings struggle with sin, that means you're actually significantly more likely to be forgiven with your neighbor because you struggle with the same problems. You also have trouble making decisions.
Sometimes you have a problem discerning between what's good and what's bad. However, for the left, the idea is that all human beings are created, absolutely good, innocent and decent. And so they have a very difficult time understanding people who don't think like they do. Those people can mostly be something defective about those people.
So what do they think about leaders? Well, if you're a conservative, you tend to think that leaders of left wing movements have popular backing. And you don't find it all that hard to understand that that's generally true in a democracy, that people who disagree with you, they might be wrong, they might be misguided, the things they believe might be evil, but they have a popular movement behind them. And thus, when it comes to horrible things like assassination, removing a leader does not change the nature of the movement.
Nobody actually believes on the right side of the eye. Like God forbid something happens, Kamala Harris, natural or otherwise. If something God forbid were to happen along those lines, nobody believes on the right that the movement that backs Kamala Harris would just dissipate and go away. Nobody actually believes that.
But the reverse is not true. Many people on the left believe that Donald Trump as a quote unquote right wing leader, because people are naturally good and because Donald Trump is a moral defective, leading people astray that if somehow Donald Trump will remove from the scene, then that would mean that everything would go back to normal. That's something that there would be sort of a version back to the inak goodness of humanity. That's the only way I can find to sort of explain the type of response to an attempted assassination against a political figure in the United States, two in the space of eight weeks.
I would be absolutely living inside myself if somebody tried to assassinate a politician that I radically disagree with. Like for example, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. That would be a grave act of evil. That person should be found, that person should be put on death row, obviously.
And anybody who even attempted such a thing, that would be a grave act of evil. And by the way, a useless act of evil, even from a politically conflicting perspective, because getting rid of somebody on the other side of the that doesn't change the nature of the political conflict in general. Human beings think differently. Human beings have flaws.
Human beings disagree. And there are big differences between how the right things about the left and how the left is thinks about the right. But here's something everyone can agree on. You're paying too much for yourself on the bill.

Unmistakable in the rhetoric. Now again, they're not going to say out loud that they wish Donald Trump would get shot. Many of them are not going to say that out loud because I think that they would have a hard time facing up to the possibility that they actually believe many of them that the world would be better off if Donald Trump just disappeared. But the reality is that the rhetoric that they are constantly expressing with regard to Donald Trump is not of like kind, to the rhetoric expressed by Kamala Harris or Joe Biden by the right is just isn't.
People on the right, when we talk about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, we say that he's a horrible president, she's a horrible president, they're doing terrible things for the country, but nobody actually believes that they are such single important figures that there isn't a popular movement back in them. Joe Biden were to pass away tomorrow. He may pass away during the debate, but if Joe Biden were actually to just disappear from the public scene, if you were to retire tomorrow, the movement behind him would be exactly the same if Kamala Harris had not been the nominee or somebody else. Everybody sort of knows this inherently.
The left does not believe this about Donald Trump. They believe that he is a single font of evil in the modern world. And the corollary to that is if you keep saying over and over and over that Donald Trump is in fact not only the apex of evil, but a sort of weird evil magician who can whip people into a cult like frenzy around him. The removal of this figure would change the trajectory of history.
And all it takes is one not to take that message seriously to pick up a gun and sit in a tree for 12 hours and wait for the president of the United States, former president to reach where he is on a golf course and shoot him. By the way, that latter detail is apparently what happened according to the Wall Street Journal. The gunman in this particular case, the suspected gunman was hiding near the former president's Florida golf course for roughly 12 hours before a secret service agent spotted him and opened fire. He was near the perimeter of Trump's golf course according to self-unrectors from 2 AM into 131 PM.
So terrible job by whoever the security is over there. Like nobody is walking the perimeter. Nobody for 12 hours. That by the way does answer the question as to how he knew Trump was going to be on the golf course.
He didn't. He knew Trump was staying there. He assumed that Trump likes to golf when he goes to his hotels or his properties. And so if he waited long enough for him to show up.
At about 1.31 PM, the secret service agent noticed the barrel of a rifle poking out of the tree line and fired at least four shots. The details revealed in the court document charging the alleged shooter with federal gun crimes suggest some level of advance planning by the suspect had a long history of criminal convictions, including possession of a weapon of mass destruction that would have barred him from owning a gun. So gun laws are not the problem here. The problem is, as always, criminality.
In addition to charges of possessing a firearm, despite it being a felon, he was also charged with having a firearm with a wiped out serial number, a wrinkle that has made it difficult for law enforcement to determine how he acquired the gun in the first place. Investigators are trying to restore the serial number so they can trace it at this point. Now, again, these are back-to-back assassination episodes. It is insane that the President of the United States has not authorized a full security detail for Donald Trump.
What we do know about the alleged shooter is that he was a left-wing activist. We know this. He was a pro-Ukraine activist. He hated Trump, presumably because of that.
He had said that he voted for Trump in 2016, but then by June 2020, it was critical of him. And he said, quote, I am the world hope the President Trump would be different and better than the candidate. I will be glad when you are gone. And then he wrote a book titled Ukraine's Unwinnable War, which he saw published in 2023.
Zero copies sold. He elaborated. He was furious that Trump had withdrawn from the nuclear deal with Iran. He says pro-Iran, quote, I must take part of the blame for the retarded child that we elected for our next President that ended up being brainless, but I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake.
And Iran, I apologize. You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error and judgment and that dismantling of the deal. I mean, there is, I mean, he had a Biden-Harris sticker on his truck. All the attempts to try and paint this person as some sort of political malcontent of neither party is not true.
He was obviously a person who was mentally unstable, but this is a person with very clear politics. And in fact, it turns out the U.S. Authorities warned about the suspected Trump gunman in advance. Apparently, it was his time in Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal, where he traveled shortly after the Russian invasion of 2022, hoping to join the fight, where his tumultuous life, full of failures and brushes with the law, seemed to spiral further downward and to alarm those who came in contact with him.
Chelsea Walsh, a nurse who had several encounters with the alleged shooter in key Ukraine in 2022, said his threats of violence worried her so much that she conveyed her concerns to a customs and border protection officer in an hour-long interview at Washington's Dulles Airport in June at 2022. While she told the officer during the interview, which took place after she returned to the U.S., that this person was quote, among the most dangerous Americans she met during her month and half long stints in Ukraine. She showed the officer in notebook, listening more than a dozen names of Americans and others, whose actions had alarmed her, under the heading, overall predatory behavior or anti-social traits were forenames, and this person was at the top. When the officer noticed that there were a lot of names, she said, of all the people on there, this person is the number one.
CBP did not immediately respond to inquiries about the meeting. And of course, this person's behavior had been flagged to the FBI before. A tipster told the FBI in 2019, this person had a firearm suspecting a felon. When questioned further, wouldn't verify providing the information.
An FBI official said Monday, the bureau passed the information onto authorities in Honolulu where this person was living at the time and closed the investigation. The alleged shooter was well-known on the volunteer aid groups in Ukraine as a fraudster and kind of a wack job, according to Sarah Adams, former CIA officer, who helped run a network linking 58 groups to share information, coordinating humanitarian and volunteer efforts in Ukraine. He claimed to be working with Ukrainian government's recruit for infighters, but he wasn't actually doing that. Apparently Ukraine's international legion had no ties with this person, didn't stop him from being interviewed by a place like Newsweek or The New York Times.
So, it is very clear this person was a radical. It is also very clear that, yes, raising the temperature of rhetoric, suggesting that Donald Trump is a unique, outsized threat to the republic of the United States, and that his supporters are sort of duped and bewildered followers. They're sort of orange shirts, you might call them. That's really what this is.
Of course, that's going to lead people who have a bizarre hero villain view of the universe, like this person does, to believe that he is the hero in his own story and go and try and take out the president of the United States. Again, you keep upping the rhetoric, and this is what you get. Now, President Trump says this, of course, and the entire left denies it. Well, by the way, maintaining that he is in fact an outsized threat to the republic who it would be better off if he weren't around, so to speak.
Trump calls out left-wing, extreme rhetoric, the left-adjust, just denies it, but there's one thing that is undeniable, and that is quite a card debt, very easy to get into, very difficult to get out of, because the system is set up.

So President Trump, put out a statement saying quote, the rhetoric lies as exemplified by the false statements made by comrade Kamala Harris during the rig and highly partisan ABC debate and all ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe's, then Kamala's political opponent, me, has taken politics in our country to a home level of hatred and abuse and distrust. Because of this common, it's left rhetoric that bullets are flying. You'll only get worse. Allowing millions of people from places unknown to invade and take over our country is an unpardonable sin.
Our borders must be closed and the terror is criminal is mentally insane, immediately removed from American cities and towns to put it back to their country's origin. We want people to come into our country and they must love our nation and come in legally and through a system of merit. The world is laughing at us as fools. They are stealing our jobs in our wealth.
We cannot let them laugh any longer and make America great again. Trump had also blinged Vice President Harris and President Biden for the assassination attempts in a conversation with Fox News Digital's Brooks Singman earlier in the day, saying quote, their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at when I'm the one who's going to save the country. They're the ones destroying the country, both from the inside and out. J.D.
Vance gives a speech yesterday in which he specifically discussed the problems of rhetoric. Here he was yesterday at the Georgia Faith and Freedom Coalition talking about this. I do think that we should take this opportunity to call for a reduction in the ridiculous and inflammatory political rhetoric coming from too many corners of our politics.

Look, we can disagree with one another, we can debate one another, but we cannot tell the American people that one candidate is a fascist and if he's elected it is going to be the end of American democracy. We cannot, as a person affiliated with Kamala Harris, has said that we need to quote eliminate Donald J.
Trump. A New York Democratic Congressman has said that in the past. If you tell the American people that this person is the end of democracy, if you tell the American people that this person needs to be eliminated, most of them, thank God, are going to ignore you, but some crazy person is going to take matters into their own hands and actually make it happen. You know, the American people that are going to take matters into their own hands and actually listen to the crazy rhetoric that you're putting out there.
Now, again, what's funny about what Vance is saying here is the left has been saying this about the right for legitimately decades at this point. And they said this about Sarah Palin and Gabby Giffords. They suggested because Sarah Palin put out a map. This is now back in like 2008.
Because Sarah Palin put out a map with targeted districts from midterm election and one of those districts was Gabby Giffords districts, that that meant that a nut job had shot Gabby Giffords at a campaign rally. It turns out nothing could do with Sarah Palin. It doesn't matter. The way that it works on the left is that if a right wing figure is attacked, it must be because of right wing rhetoric, and if a left wing figure is attacked, it must be because of right wing rhetoric.
That is the way this works. It is a ratchet that only works one way. So the entire media came to their friends and Biden Harris. Nor O'Donnell, see the guys' news.
She immediately suggested this has nothing to do with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Nothing at all. Donald Trump is blaming Democrats for inflaming political rhetoric, but the former president's own words seem to be increasing the threat of political violence in Springfield, Ohio. That's where a false and ugly accusation against Haitians, thousands of whom are legal, permanent residents, is impacting everyday life.
Remember, the problem with bad rhetoric is Trump. Always and forever. Which again keeps underscoring the idea that Trump is a unique threat to American democracy. That Trump is a unique threat to American people.
The key is the source of violent threat. Now if you go all the way back to the 2016 race, there's a lot to talk about this. Trump would be at rallies and he'd say that if you beat somebody up in the rally crowd, then I'll pay your legal bills. He said that during the race.
And this was a big deal. But the reality is the political violence in 2016 was almost entirely left on right, not right on left. There were full-scale Trump rallies that got shut down because of violent left wing educators outside arenas trying to beat people up. The left rhetoric, politically speaking, has been has caused insane levels of violence in the United States.
Now, at least among them, the two billion dollars in property damage and enormous human toll of the BLM riots of 2020. Or for example, if you're going to link the scale of rhetoric to actual violent shooting events, a Bernie Sanders fan shooting up a congressional baseball game. Or for example, a Black Lives Matter fan shooting up Dallas police officers while Barack Obama was president ripping on the police. Now, as I've said consistently here, this does not mean that people speaking politically are responsible for those who then take those words and twist them or misinterpret them or use them as an excuse for violence.
However, if you do keep ratcheting up the heat on the stove, it shouldn't be a shock when the water occasionally boils over. But the way that this works for the left is everything bad they say about the right is totally justified. Everything bad they say about Donald Trump in particular is totally justified. Remember, it's not just words that they have about the right, generally speaking, or the right political perspectives.
They have decided that because Donald Trump is in himself a uniquely evil figure, they can say whatever the hell they want about him, and it is totally justified. And not only that, he brings it on himself. So, Norah O'Donnell says, it's not our rhetoric about Trump that causes people to want to shoot Trump. It's that Trump said this weird thing about their eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, and that's the real danger.
Or how about this? CNN's Danabash, who did the same or something yesterday. So this has nothing to do with Biden Harris. I mean, nothing?
The guy to Biden Harris bumper-sick on the back of his car. I have very serious doubts about whether Donna Bash would be saying the same thing. If somebody with a Trump-vanced-sick on his car tried to take a shot at Kamala Harris, I feel like the conversation might be wildly different. There's absolutely, again, no basis in fact that they were behind this at all.
We don't know much about this guy yet at all other than he was somebody who was trying to find a way in his mid to late 50s, go and serve on the front lines of Ukraine. And he obviously had some anti-Trump posts, but that has nothing to do with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. It has to do with the fact that this is his political belief, and obviously this is a very disturbed individual. This alleged suspect.
Well, the media can be relied upon to cover up for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and all of their rhetoric, but I'll tell you what you need to rely on. Your mattress. But you should need to lie on your mattress. And the thing is, with bad mattress, you ain't gonna sleep.
A couple years back, I was talking and turning on my bed. I decided to try Helix Leap mattress. I'm telling you, it has been an absolute game changer. Why?
Because they made a mattress for me. It was personalized to me. They have 20 different mattresses, 20. They have the Lux for the fancy types, the Elite for the extra-fancing.
I am extra-fancing. And even the Helix Plus for the bigger fellas. You know, the kind of dudes who don't eat soy ever. It's easy.
It takes less than two minutes. I took the quiz myself. They match me with the medium firm. The mattress, which is perfect for me because I sleep on my stomach.
Well, here is another great thing about Helix. They ship your personalized mattress right to your door free of charge. No dealing with mattress salesmen or about as trustworthy as mainstream media fact-checkers. Now, I got this.
They give you 100 nights to try it out plus 10 to 15 year warranty. So you got nothing to lose. If you want to sleep as soundly as I do, which is like a baby, head over to Helix Leap.com. Take that sleep quiz.
Plus Helix is offering up to 25% off all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners. Helix sleep.com.com.com. That's Helix Leap.com. With Helix.
Better sleep starts right now. Again, do you think that Danny Batch would be saying the same thing if the situation refers to? No, for a fact, she wouldn't. No, for a fact, she would not.
In fact, right now, they're literally attempting to blame Donald Trump and JD Vans for hoax phone calls in Springfield, Ohio, because of the eating cats and dogs from her. So apparently, the rhetoric of Donald Trump and JD Vans is so all-fire powerful. And when Donald Trump says in a bay that eating the cats and eating the dogs, this means you can directly blame him for bomb threats, hoax threats, very often coming from abroad, apparently. You can blame them for that sort of happening in Springfield, Ohio.
But when Donald Trump is shot at, the entire Democratic media complex, they've been no responsibility whatsoever for their own rhetoric. It really is incredible. So for example, Joe Biden yesterday comes out and says, there's no place for political violence. And again, I would take this more seriously if your entire party had decided with the Black Lives Matter rioters.
And I also would take this more seriously if you hadn't repeatedly suggested that your political opponent is layering in intent. Here's Joe Biden yesterday. There is no, and I mean this on the bottom. Those of you who know me, many of you do.
No place in political violence for a political violence in America. None. Zero. Never.
I've always condemned political violence. I always will in America. In America, we resolve our different species. The battle box.
Not at the end of a gun. Okay, that's all fine. And that's all well. And that's all good.
But in the same speech, you will then say that we're in a battle for the Soul of America. Implication being, of course, that if his favorite candidate, Kamala Harris, who forced him aside loses, then apparently the Soul of America is lost in some way. Well, it turns out when you tell people that if your opponent is elected, the Soul of America will be gone. Maybe someone might take that seriously.
Look, we're still in the battle. We're still in the battle for the very Soul of America. In 2020, I ran and I'll give you my word. This was the reason.
I ran to redeem the Soul of America, restored decency and dignity the opposite of the family. Well, I mean, this kind of language redeemed the Soul of America. The Soul of America had been owned by Satan, Donald Trump. And then I came and I redeemed the Soul of America.
He redeemed the Soul of America. By now, it's in danger of being lost again. And then again, you wonder why mentally unhinged people might take that seriously. MSNBC doing the same routine.
Here's MSNBC's Nicole Wallace yesterday saying political violence is antithetical to our public, unless you're burning down half the cities in America over George Floyd. That's worth repeating. Political violence, regardless of any motive, any method or any target, is antithetical to our democracy, to a healthy and vibrant democracy anywhere on the planet. Bulldog.
Our system of government, our very way of life depends not on bullets, but on our political opinions being carried out and expressed at the ballot box and the ballot box exclusively. Okay, but I don't believe you guys because here is the thing. You guys use language that is so unhinged outside the norm that it's almost impossible to link it with total non-violence. So for example, Hillary Clinton, who has just become a morning drinker at this point, she appears on MSNBC's racial matter.
She has another memoir out because you needed to know what she's been doing for the past few years. This is her fourth memoir. Let me explain. There's no one alive who requires four memoirs.
No one requires four memoirs. I know Barack Obama's tattoo. I know she's trying to out-pace him. She has four.
I feel like zero memoirs is the right number for most people, particularly in politics. But she has another fourth memoir coming out. And she explains that Donald Trump is dangerous. Dangerous.
You know what's kind of dangerous saying that over and over and over. And I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is. You know, the late great journalist, Harry Evans, you know, one time said that journalists should really try to achieve objectivity. And by that he said, I mean, they should cover the object.
Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world, and stick with it. He's a dangerous country. He's a dangerous to the world. Don't worry.
It's nonviolence that we seek. That's wild. You know what I would call danger to the country and danger to the world? The government of China.
The government of Iran. Vladimir Putin. Terrorist groups like ISIS. You know, I don't think he's a danger to the country.
And a danger to the world in the sense that she is talking about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I think they're awful. I think they'll do terrible things for the country. I think they'll undermine fundamental bases of the functioning of our public.
I think all of that is true. And also, I don't think they're very important political figures in and of themselves. I think what they stand for is quite important, but I don't think that they in themselves are like grave threats to the future coherence of the republic. But that's what the left believes.
That's what Hillary Clinton believes. And what that means is that anytime there's an attempt on say Donald Trump, it turns out it's his own fault. And it's in the leaders of the Democratic Party. It's not that they in their very personages are grave threats to the republic.
It's that the movement that they represent thinks a lot of bad things. But you know what is a threat to you? Well, that'd be the IRS. Because if you haven't actually done your taxes, let's say that you haven't unfiled returning up back taxes.
You're still struggling with that stuff. The IRS is coming for you handling it alone. It can be a huge mistake and cost it thousands of dollars. And these challenging times your best offense is tax network USA.

If you need the tax network USA. So Tom Nichols, who used to characterize himself as conservative, now he writes for the Atlantic. He wrote yesterday, I'm not even joking, this is what he wrote. Donald Trump is using another possible attempt on his life to inflame tensions in America, which is one more reason he should never be president again.
I mean, slow clap. Incredible stuff right there. Do you understand the logic there? Somebody tried to shoot Trump again, allegedly.
And Tom Nichols says, Donald Trump is using another possible attempt on his life to inflame tensions that he's inflaming the tensions. By what? Not being hit by the bullet. That's one more reason he should never be president again.
The New York Times doing the same routine. They have an entire news analysis piece, which is, they just call this opinion, but they can't do that anymore. So they call it news analysis, quote, Trump outrage in the modern era of political violence. The latest appearance assassination attempt against the former president indicates how much the American political landscape has been shaped by anger stirred by him and against him.
Within days, a former president Donald Trump vilifying immigrants on national TV with false stories about Haitian migrants eating pet dogs and cats in an Ohio town. Someone began threatening to blow up school, city hall and other public buildings forcing evacuations and prompting a wave of fear. Days later, I've already said a man who described himself online as a dissafactant former Trump supporter made his way with the semi-automatic rifle to the former president's Florida golf course, evidently looking to take a shot, who's thwarted only when an observant secret search agent spotted him and opened fire first. By the way, look at that horrific coverage there by the New York Times.
If you read that, you would only believe that this was some sort of right-wing disaffected Republican. This guy is a nutjob career-long left-winger, who the only indicator that he was Republican at all in any way, shape or form, is that he said he voted for Trump in 2016. That's pretty much it. And then he had some weird tweet about how he wanted to make Ramaswami and Nikki Haley to team up to stop Trump in the 2024 election.
That's it. He's got a Biden-Harris sticker on his damn truck. He has an entire book he wrote in which he wishes for Donald Trump's death and praises for the governor of Iran. Like, no, no New York Times.
But according to the New York Times quote, in the space of less than a week, the once and possibly future commander-in-chief was both a seeming inspiration and an apparent target of the political violence that has increasingly come to show you. That's what it's like to be a Republican. It's a very important thing to do with Trump's political violence that has increasingly come to shape American politics in the modern era. Bomb threats and attempted assassinations now become part of the landscape, shocking and horrific, and not so much that they forced any real, national reckoning.
So it's all about Trump. Obviously. It's really about Trump. In fact, Biden and Harris are the good guys in Peter Baker's narrative for the New York Times quote, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both issued statements condemning the latest incident, but the campaign continued uninterrupted, and the campaign continued to make a donation.
My resolve is only stronger after another time I like, Mr. Trump said in an email, and Sarah's fundraising emails continued as well. So again, the idea here is that Donald Trump is the cause of everything, which again lends itself to the very narrative used by would-be shooters. If Donald Trump is the locus of all evil, both against him and on his behalf, then remove all, I mean, that, I don't have to avoid the implication.
I honestly don't know how you do. So it's very difficult to make that narrative work, right? The narrative that Donald Trump's rhetoric has boomeranged on him, and that is why in the space of eight weeks, two separate people have tried to shoot him two separate times. Very difficult to explain how that narrative works, how it isn't in fact that the people who did this were driven by Donald Trump's opponents, that maybe it has more to do with people hating Trump, and then radical whack jobs who hate Trump, listening to the people who hate Trump, and then going and doing evil things.
So what do they do? They have to play up the situation in Springfield, Ohio. And they have to play up eating the dogs and eating the cats thing. Now, here's what we know.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine came out yesterday and he said they've had something like 33 bomb threats. All of them have been hoaxes and many of them have been foreign. Here was the Governor of Ohio who, by the way, is no like great ally of President Trump yesterday in Springfield. At least 33 separate bomb threats, each one of which has been responded to.
And each one of whom has been found as a hoax. So 33 threats, 33 hoaxes. And we'll make that very, very clear. None of these had any validity at all.
Okay, and he would go on to say that many of those hoaxes were driven by foreign sources that the calls are coming from outside the country. But according to the left, this is the worst thing happening in American politics today, not the attempt at assassination of one of the major candidates. And the first thing happening is that Donald Trump said a thing about the Haitian residents of Springfield, Ohio. Now, again, I've seen no evidence that the residents of Springfield, Ohio, or Haitian, are eating the cats and eating the dogs.
That evidence is not yet kind of like what I have seen is a lot of social problems in Springfield, Ohio. I'm not a big fan of trafficking in stories that are completely unverified or just based on anecdotal evidence. I tend not to take them super seriously until there's been some sort of confirming evidence. With that said, the idea that the big story of the week after someone again tries to shoot Trump in the head allegedly, that the big story of the week is that Trump and Vance said a thing about eating the cats and eating the dogs, and that that's the true source of American political violence is pretty wild.
But that's exactly what the Democrats are trying to retail. So, for example, here is former Alabama Senator Doug Jones saying, you know, look what's happening to that poor town, that poor town. All these are, there are no problems in Springfield, Ohio until Trump and Vance made problems. Look what is happening to that poor town up there.
Cancelling Vance, canceling classes, shutting down classes in the university where they happen to go online. That's not the way people want to live. And that's exactly the way people will live at Donald Trump and JD Vance get elected. Okay, MSNBC's Mark McKinnon.
He says, you know, the political violence that Trump is talking about is coming from him because of the eating the cats and eating the dogs. Republicans want to get into a back and forth objective record on who's raised the heat on the violent rhetoric more than the other party. I think they're in a bad position there. But to your point about the, about creating stories, that's just a nice way of dressing it up.
What they're saying is we lied about it. We lied about it in order to bring something that we think is a good political issue for us. And a consequence of that is what we're saying now, which is just what you're talking about violence. They're having bomb threats in schools over a story that they quote created that they lied about.
So they're the ones, I mean, that's an exact example in Springfield right now of them raising the rhetoric, raising the heat on a false story on a lie, has created a bomb threat at schools. So you don't have to look too far to see where the problems come from. Now, again, what this comes down to is what I said at the very beginning of the show, for people on the left or people who hate Trump at this point, anybody who disagrees with them is an emissary of evil whose brain has probably been thwarted by Trump, which means your opposition to their policy agenda puts you in that camp. You know, so about ramping up the rhetoric and creating massive divisions in American society.
That's precisely how to do it. I mean, look at Joe Biden's yesterday Joe Biden, who believe or not is still the president of the United States. It is astonishing to me how the biggest story in the country is not that we have a senile man as president of the United States, the most powerful person on Earth does not have a functioning brain at this point. And everybody's just going about their business.
So I got to say well done by the founders for constructing a system so uniquely durable that we can put somebody fully brain dead in the presidency and everything kind of keeps going. Anyway, Joe Biden was speaking at the National Historically Black Colleges Conference and he suggested that talking about what's going on in Springfield, Ohio puts the values of DEI under attack. But today, affirmative action and the values of adversity, equity and inclusion are under attack like not long since I started as a young civil rights guy. Books are being banned.
Here's just being erased. HVU's and HPC's have received bomb threats. And right now lies and hate are being spread about Haitian Americans in Ohio. It's wrong.
It's simply wrong. And it must stop. I tell about DEI. It's part of a broader attack on our values, the soul of America.
And it must be stopped. The problem is you keep saying that over and over and over. Someone might take it seriously. But there is one type of rhetoric, of course, that the left really doesn't like.
And that is pretty much anything they disagree with is now in the violent matrix that justifies any action on their part. Get to that in a moment. First, with the most crucial election of our lifetime, just 48 days away, you need the truth. That's why we're offering 47% off new daily wear plus memberships today.
Because once again, mainstream media are approving why you cannot trust them. Case in point, we've now had a second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. It's 48 hours later. And the national who's already turning to why Donald Trump is a mean man who probably caused it.
I mean, there's an actual headline from political right now. Quote, Republicans outraged over possible assassination attempts. They are going to keep trying to kill Trump. It's the same old story.
They don't want you to know what's happening. They want you to buy their narrative. Here at the Daily Wire we cover the truth. We give you the breaking news and the full story the left wing media continues to ignore.

So remember, according to the left, rhetoric from the left totally fine, no matter how violent, no matter how suggestive, all of that is totally fine. rhetoric from the right inherently bad, inherently evil and probably requires some sort of government activity.
So the other day, Elon Musk tweeted out after the second assassination attempt. He tweeted, and no one is even trying to assassinate Biden and Kamala. That wasn't a call for an attempt to assassination against Biden or Kamala. He was just pointing out that he perceived threat of Trump is higher than he perceived threat of Biden and Kamala because they are a continuation of the status quo.
That's obviously what he meant by the tweet. Obviously, he responded to one request to reconsider his comment saying no one has even tried to do so is the point I'm making and no one will. And then he responded to another request to delete and he said, fair enough, I don't want to do what they've done even in jest. I mean, again, it is very clear what he was attempting to say there.
What he was basically saying is that the reason that they're trying to kill Trump is because he's a threat to the system, Biden and Harris aren't to threat to the system. So no one's trying to kill him right now. That may or not be true. That is what he's attempting to say.
The White House immediately issued a statement on that to the White House, which has been complicit in every attempt to link down Trump with violence. Every attempt to treat down Trump is uniquely dangerous. The White House, which is behind the messaging, the Donald Trump is a threat to the very fabric and soul of the United States of America in a unique way, not as part of a broader movement that has different priorities, but as part of a broader movement that wishes to tear away the entirety of the United States, turn it into a tyrannical theocracy. This White House, which is literally behind that effort, is very angry.
Elon Musk, well, as President Biden and Vice President Harris said after yesterday's disturbing news, there's no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country. And so, as we've discussed, all of our parts to ensure this incident does not lead to more violence. Violence should only be condemned, not encouraged or joked about. This rhetoric is irresponsible.
Okay, so this prompted Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, which is a relatively popular left-wing website, to write, quote, This man is a dangerous, degenerate influence within the American state. This is only a half step away from incitement to murder. No, it isn't. Eventually, the US will have to take the necessary steps to expropriate with fair market compensation.
The national security assets Musk has acquired through government contracts and subsidies, or exercise oversight necessary to safeguard American national security. Too many examples of using those assets to provide aid to adversary states. So, Josh Marshall, using this opportunity to suggest that the national government of the United States expropriate the property of Elon Musk for a tweet, a tweet that is not calling for violence against Biden Harris. It's pointing out that the levels of threat to Biden and Harris are lower than those against Trump for a reason.
Again, the way that it works, if you are just non-left. Elon Musk is not a right-wing or an international sense. He's just not left. The level of outrage and the justified level, then they believe, of action taking by the government is insane.
It's wild. And yet that is the continued narrative from the left today. How to attempt at assassinations against the foreign president of the United States somehow turns into a referendum on the person who is the victim of the assassination attempt is beyond me. I mean, truly, you got to hand it to them.
And it demonstrates what an insane bubble they live in the middle of. But that sounds reasonable to them. But that sounds like, okay, well, that makes perfect sense. It has nothing to do with you.
It has nothing to do with you every day. It has nothing to do with MSNBC going on here every single day and declaring that Donald Trump is basically hit with that mustache. It has nothing to do with Joe Biden getting up there and giving speeches for years on end. But Donald Trump is the gravest threat to the American republic.
It has nothing to do with the suggestion that Donald Trump is a revolutionary insurrectionist who attempts to overthrow the government of the United States and came within a hairless breath of doing so on January 6, which is not actually what happened on January 6. Donald Trump laid out a bunch of speeches legal theories that were rejected in court and then he laid out another speechless legal theory that ended up being overridden by Republicans in Congress. And yet somehow when Donald Trump, again, twice in eight weeks is victimized by attempted assassinations. The story is, of course, of course, of course about right-wing rhetoric.
I get the feeling that you don't actually care too much about these assassinations. All you care about is silencing your opponents. That's the thing that I get the sense of if you are in the Democrat media, human rights. The Democrat media, human centipede.
The goal of that media, Democrat human centipede is to indoctrinate. It is to make you think in a certain way. But the things they want you to think are not actually consonant with reality or decency. If you want to think better in a different way, check out Grand Canyon University.

GCU.edu. That's GCU.edu. Meanwhile, remember Joe Biden is still the president and Connell Harris is still the sitting vice president of the United States. It is unbelievable to me that her entire campaign is now about turning the page.
She's been out over and over and over that she is a change in the middle of the stream. There's only one problem. She's the sitting vice president of the United States. So let me just bring you a few events happening under the sitting vice president of the United States.
One, the explosion of the federal debt, the massive explosion of the federal debt. Thirty five trillion in federal debt. A decade ago, our federal debt was something like 18 trillion dollars. You basically doubled it in the last decade.
No plans to bring that down. Meanwhile, on the foreign front Venezuela has now detained three Americans. Why shock her? It turns out that when you negotiate with terrorists and when you cut really bad prisoners swap deals as the Biden administration has repeatedly done, you're incentivizing Americans enemies to take Americans hostage, which is precisely the government of the federal debt.
Is now doing quote whilst regional after a prisoners swap with Venezuela's regime last year by administration officials celebrated and said they had commitments from president Nicolas Maduro's regime, not to detain more Americans nearly nine months later. The world's authoritarian government says it is locked up three US citizens, including an active Navy servicemen on allegations of coup plotting in a case highlighting the short lived returns from last year's hostage exchange over the weekend. And Israeli interior and justice minister, the US, the Kabeo in a news conference said three Americans to Spaniards and check national have been arrested for conspiring on behalf of American intelligence services. The identified the active US sailors, a former Navy ceiling, Wilbur Castaneda and named two other Americans without providing more details.
The US denied the accusations. Kabeo didn't offer any evidence for his assertions. So look at that amazing. It turns out that Americans enemies have now decided that because the Biden administration is weak, they're just going to willy nilly take American citizens hostage.
So there's that going on. That's really exciting. Meanwhile, in more international news, Congo, which has had an ongoing civil war for years and years of this point has become the victim of a massive rape epidemic caused by radical Muslim insurrectionist groups in Congo. This receives pretty much zero attention ever, despite the fact that apparently in one area of the country, something like 80% of women have been raped.
There are something to go to areas where there are food. There's a camp around Goma that hosts about 500,000 displaced people. Apparently 80% of the women have been raped, including girls as young as eight. And they're being raped by Muslim radical groups.
This is not worth any sort of media attention. What is worth media attention, obviously, is Israel defending itself. That obviously is the thing that is worth media attention. It's the thing we all ought to have eyes on is the supposed plight of the Gaza Strip.
And I say, suppose it because it's at the hands of Hamas, not the hands of Israel. The United States right now is trying to warn Israel against escalating its fight with Hezbollah. Amos Hoxstein, the US envoy, has warned Israel over escalating its fight with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Well, I mean, if he's got any alternative ideas, I'm sure Israel is willing to hear them.
The upper third of Israel is basically empty. It is empty because Hezbollah has been firing rockets every single might into Northern Israel for almost a year at this point. And Israel's like, listen, at some point, we're going to have to actually, you know, make our territory livable for our citizens. The US message delivered in meetings, top-eyed administration diplomat Amos Hoxstein held with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yol Galant in Tel Aviv Monday reflected growing US concern in the conflict in Gaza could spread.
Oh, you mean it could could spread? I've noticed it spread already. And that's because you guys are cowards. And I mean, it was Hoxstein and the Biden administration.
If they just said the Israel go hog wild, do what you need to do to secure yourself, you'll have the support you need. This then would have been over in February, even over already. Instead, they decided they were going to basically hold the leash on Israel and yank it every so often to prevent Israel from doing what it had to defend itself in the mistaken belief that if they didn't, then Iran was going to get involved in some sort of gigantic World War III as opposed to the reality, which is that Iran is actually intimidated by the combined firepower of Israel and its allies. That matter, that's what the US is focused in on, which presumably again would be one of the reasons that you have foreign actors who are taking American sausage because why the hell not?
Joe Biden is a soft touch and so is Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, we have some shocking news in the scientific community. It turns out that Nature magazine is once again endorsing Joe Biden. No, no.
So if you wonder what the hell Nature magazine has to do with politics, you're not the only one, but they did this back in 2020. What it ended up doing was not actually moving votes toward Joe Biden and it just ended up making people believe that nature is a politically motivated magazine, which of course, it is. Nature put out an entire statement saying, quote, we live in an era in which there are many attempts to politicize science. Some scientists are concerned such times we're reduced by the fact that we're not going to be able to do that.
And people's willingness to rely on scientific information to manage it challenge, such as a pandemic. Nature was one of several prominent scientific publications to endorse Joe Biden in the 2020 US presidential election. And now they're doing it again. Wow.
You guys, well done guys. That is awesome. And by the way, they did look, they did conduct a poll as to how that impacted how people view nature magazine. And it turned out that people don't like nature magazine as much because they're like, wait, I guess you nature not politics, but unfortunately, the scientific community has engaged in politics more and more while ignoring some of the biggest issues on the planet.
Only now, for example, our scientists beginning to investigate just how much crap there is in our bodies. Thanks to, for example, all of the wrapping materials that are used on all the foods that we eat. According to the Washington Post, researchers from Switzerland and other countries have discovered that of the roughly 14,000 known chemicals in food packaging, 3,601 or about 25% have been found in the human body, whether in samples of blood, hair or breast milk, those chemicals include metals, volatile organic compounds per and polyfluorolylylyl substances or PFAS, phthalates and many other materials known to disrupt the endocrine system and cause cancer or other diseases. Apparently, all this stuff is unregulated.
The chemicals leach out of the packaging, according to Jane Monk, the chief scientific officer for the Food and Packaging Forum. By the way, some of the worst things for food packaging, recycling paper, cardboard or plastic for food packaging, apparently makes it much, much worse. It leaches much easier into all of the materials. Why is it that we are only finding out this now?
Why is it that we all spent our entire life eating out of these sorts of packages? And only now has the scientific community decided to actually, you know, check it out. The truth is the scientific community has spent a very long time doing politics instead of actual scientific exploration. We sat down a little bit earlier this week with my friend Dr.
Marty McCarry has a brand new book called Blindspots to talk about the scientific community, what they're ignoring. Including issues of say, food security. Here's what it sounded like. Join us in line with my friend Dr.
Marty McCarry. He's a renowned surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins University. Also, he's the author of the brand new book Blindspots. When medicine gets it wrong, what it means for our health, Marty great to talk to you.
Great to see you, Ben. So let's talk about so many blind spots in the American medical system. Why don't we start with one that our kitchener is constantly talking about. And that is chronic disease.
He's been talking about this for a very long time. The increase in chronic disease, failures of nutrition. How bad is it in the United States? Well, it's epidemic and it's far worse than any other problem really facing this country.
It's expensive. It's a national security issue. And it's sad. We're one of the wealthiest countries in the world and half of our nation's children are sick with overweight or obesity.
The rate of autism goes up by 14% each year for the last 23 years. No one seems to be asking why. Potility rates are going down, sperm counts are down 50% over the last five decades. We have the earliest age of puberty than any other country years before.
And no one has been talking about this epidemic. We can keep throwing good money after bad after this problem. We have a sick population with an epidemic of chronic diseases that no one has been talking about. Only the system is talking about medicating and operating on these conditions.
So, Marty, where is this coming from? When you look at these epidemics, that didn't exist a while ago. Is there a food supply? Is it how we're doing vaccination?
What exactly are the problems? Well, first of all, you're absolutely right. This is a brand new phenomenon. Two generations ago, these were rare conditions.
Now, a quarter of kids have fatty infiltration of the liver, which is a predisposing factor to liver cancer. My field of pancreatic cancer has... pancreatic cancer rates have doubled in the last two decades. And nobody is asking why.
We've got to look at the food supply. We've poisoned our food supply. We've created ultra processed foods. We've got dangerous ingredients that are really chemicals with the misnomer because they sound natural, like natural seed oils.
This is a result of government subsidies to soybeans and corn. And so, we create this cheap ingredient that then gets denatured and turned into a chemical in the form of seed oils. And pesticides are ubiquitous. Now, we've bought 5 to 6 billion gallons of pesticides on our food, on agriculture.
And guess what? Pesticides have hormone-like binding properties. They have estrogen-like binding properties. And they're changing the microbiome.
That is the gut health, lining a bacteria that normally die from the body. And normally, digest food and trains the immune system in our body. It's being altered by these chemicals in our food supply by antibiotics that are given unnecessarily 60% of the time, by C-sections that are unnecessary 40% of the time. So, we've ignored these giant blind spots of health.
And we've got to start talking about them. The NIH has not been funding this up. They're too busy funding back to coronavirus research and Wuhan and other things. This is where we need our research funding.
One of the questions that has come up sort of in our personal life, my wife got very interested in family position. She got very into looking at the materials that people use to eat on paper plates, the sort of plastic plates you get at the grocery store or whatever. And she became very concerned about microplastics. There was a study recently that came out that suggested that microplastics are now becoming ubiquitous in American bodies, that actually a certain percentage of people's brain tissue is now microplastic.
What's happening with that? What does that mean? What does that mean? Yeah, so there's a good study that shows that microplastics that are common in food and drink, they have estrogen-like binding properties.
So, we're doing something. We're changing the body's physiology in ways we don't appreciate. It may also change the microbiome in one's gut health. And what happens is, Ben, when you take in a foreign chemical, something that does not appear in nature, be it a derivative of seed oil, microplastic or pesticide or engineered food ingredient, the body rejects it because the gut has an immune system in its lining.
It's a very strong immune system. So, it responds. And it's not a big acute inflammatory reaction. It's a low-level reaction.
And it's chronic. And it causes chronic inflammation throughout the body. And it makes people feel sick. And then we're puzzled why 40% of children will have a mental health diagnosis.
In some cases, we've been poisoning them and their bodies just feel blah. They feel sick from this reaction. Marty, this is such a so troubling to hear all of this, obviously, because you're talking about a decades-long entrenched problem at this point. And many of the figures who have been out there talking about this stuff, I mentioned again, RFK Junior.
I don't agree with a lot of RFK Junior's prescriptions for this. Obviously, he's been widely anti-vaccination, not just anti-the mRNA vaccines. He's not just questioned the vaccine schedules in many cases. He's gone further and suggested that, for example, the uptake in autism, mass uptake in autism is due to vaccinations, a proposition that I see very little evidence of.
It becomes so difficult to distinguish what is true from what is false in this fear, because very few Americans have actually gone to medical school, even ones who have gone to medical school are apparently spewing kind of what they've been taught very often by a system that's promulgating these things. How is a normal person going about their daily life to actually determine what's healthy and what's not? And it's exhausting to think about going to the grocery store and having to think about, what do I eat that doesn't poison me? And to prioritize health priorities, for example, is avoiding microplastics, the most important thing.
So I tell people, eat organic foods, avoid these chemical pesticides, avoid ultra-processed foods. When possible, cook with the avocado and olive oils and coconut oils, not with the cheap canola, see sunflower vegetable oils, and try to think about basic biblical principles of eating whole foods that grow in soil, clean meats, fast, meditate. I mean, we're almost rediscovering the benefits of a lot of these basic principles of just simple living. But you're absolutely right.
People need some guidance, and that's why a group of doctors and I have said, we're going to go directly to the public, and that's why I wrote the book Blindspice to educate people that we have got in medicine terribly wrong when it came to saying opioids were not addictive. We ignited the opioid crisis, the modern-day peanut allergy epidemic. We ignited that by giving people bad advice, and the food pyramid ignited the obesity epidemic. So ironically, sometimes medical establishment causes or hastens many of our modern-day health crises through medical dogma.
And, Mari, one of the things you talked about in Blindspice, we've talked about a lot before, is you mentioned the NIH, you mentioned medical research. And when it comes to the medical research, medical research, you're always rewarded for saying something new. You're never rewarded for debunking something old. If there's a well-established body of medical opinion, and then you come along and disrupt that, you say this is just not true.
