Did you just stab a white person in public? Are the police on the scene? If the answer is yes, here are your options. Well, if you're a white person, you surrender immediately and go directly to jail. If you are not a white person, you should say that the white person did something racist to you and then watch as the police let your victim bleed out and then maybe get out of jail early. That is the horrifying truth of Henry Novak. We'll talk about what it means for the West. We'll get to my take on Hassan Piker and Cenk Uyghur's ban from the UK and we'll discuss why Sesame street is apparently pushing gay Muppets or something. Again, this is the Ben Shapiro show, Folks. If you don't want to destroy your own civilization, you really ought not import people who seek to weaponize your own values against you or train an entire generation of people to weaponize your values against you. This is the running theme in the west right now. We have certain values like say, racial tolerance. It's a good value. It's a good thing to be tolerant of people of other races because hey, why does melanin level matter or free speech? That's a great value. But what happens when we import people who hate those values or if we teach our kids to weaponize those values and use them against us? Well, today's exhibit A is this case, this case of Henry Novak in the uk. So you have been seeing this story blowing up your social media and there is a very good reason for that. So according to the Fox News website, English police are facing mounting scrutiny after Officers handcuffed an 18 year old university student as he bled to death following a fatal stabbing, allegedly after believing the attacker's false claim he had been the victim of a racist assault. That case has sparked outrage across Britain, fueling political debate over policing and prompting calls for the release of body worn camera footage from the responding officers. So here's what happened. A person named Vikram Digigua, who is 23, was convicted on Thursday in the UK of murdering Henry Novak, an 18 year old finance student at the University of Southampton, during a confrontation December 3, 2025. He will be eligible for parole in about 20 years at the age of 43, which is sort of a mid range murder sentence in the uk. Theoretically you could get what's called a whole life sentence if they believe that you were committing a murder for racist reasons or terrorist reasons. That was not used here in order to get a longer sentence. Officers arriving at the chaotic scene initially treated Novak as the suspect. After Digua allegedly claimed he had been racially abused and attacked, they actually handcuffed the guy who'd been stabbed. He later collapsed and died at the scene despite attempts to administer first aid, apparently. According to the prosecutors, Digua stabbed Novak multiple times using a 21 cm, an 8 inch blade described in court originally a SE Kirpon style weapon. Apparently this was not in fact a Kirpon that seeks wear out of religious obligation. But Digwa's brother did hide the knife that had been used in the 999 call, which is the equivalent of 911 over in the UK. His mom was also convicted of assisting an offender because she arrived at the scene before the murder weapon was taken by the police back to. She took the murder weapon back to their home to hide it. Okay, so the body cam footage is shocking and truly shocking. And this is almost a mirror image in particular ways of the George Floyd death. Henry Novak, you can hear him on the tape saying, I can't breathe because he can't. He's dying. He is dying because he was stabbed. Here is the body cam footage. What's happened to you? All right, You've been stabbed. Whereabouts? Don't think you have, mate. He's saying he's been stabbed. They don't believe him. They handcuff him. Put the hand in the cuff, mate.

walking. He's literally dying on the camera. Obviously in the face. Oh no. But we have to check, don't we? In the face eventually. Female officer says that you have to back off, get their details and that and I'll keep hold of them,

A
you on your side, mate. You better redrive then saying to him, keeping him on his side. We were set up when we had him here, but he didn't like it. He was unconscious and eventually he dies. At the moment you are under arrest. That's for assault. So you do not have to say anything may harm your defense if you do not make your mind questioned. So I'm talking to you later in line of court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. All right? It's going to be sick. I think now again, the officers didn't believe him. And the reason they did not believe him and believed that he was actually the person who had committed the assault is because the perpetrator had said that the white guy assaulted him. It was a lie. It was not real. He said the racist white guy assaulted him. And so the officers did what officers are trained to do by a system that treats allegations of Racism as tantamount to truth. That is the real story here. Henry Novak's father spoke after his son's murder, was sentenced to life in prison. Here's what he had to say.
- [05:32]
C
Henry did not die with dignity. He did not die with the care he deserved. He lost consciousness before anyone believed him. Let me be absolutely clear. We hold Vikram Digua solely and 100% responsible for the brutal murder of our son. But Henry should not have died on the streets of Southampton in police custody. The way he was treated was inhumane and degrading. His murderer, however, was afforded decency. He was believed. He was not handcuffed when arrested. He was not handcuffed when transported to the police station. As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all. And as Vikram Digwa himself told the court, whilst under arrest for Henry's murder, police even took him to the kitchen so he could choose his food. The contrast is unbearable.
- [06:37]
A
So why exactly did that happen? Why did that happen? Well, the reason that happened is not because the cops in this particular scenario are deeply evil people. That is not what's going on here. The reason that this happened is because you want to talk about actual systemic racism. You know about actual systemic racism. The police are basically trained. There's an incentive structure that says that if a person of color commits a crime against a white person and the person of color says that racism has occurred against him, all credibility is to go to the person of color. None is to go to the white person. And also the most significant aspect of any confrontation is an allegation of racism. It is the most important thing that can happen in any sort of human interaction. Allegations of racism are taken at face value. And not only are they taken at face value, they are the great sin. And so if you're a cop, imagine you're a cop and you come across this situation and imagine for a second that the person of color is telling the truth, that the white guy assaulted the Sikh guy for racist reasons, and you believe the white guy, you're out of a job. You lose your job, you're done. That's why the cops acted the way that they acted here. The fact that the authorities treated this case as not a particularly important case, nothing special, until it turned into a social media phenomenon. The fact that it took until now for the government to even acknowledge this case as something quite terrible. Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, put out a statement yesterday, quote, this is an awful, shocking case. Henry's loved ones have gone through the trauma of a long trial and endured Henry's killer making up appalling claims about their son, who was thoughtful, kind and deeply loved. It is right that the IOPC is investigating the police's response to his senseless murder. We must end the cycle of tragedy by tackling the horror of knife crime. Well, this isn't really just about knife crime or crime in general. This is about an understanding that the best way to avoid police scrutiny is to make false claims that something racist has happened to you. And by the way, this is true whether you are claiming that the police were racist to you or whether you are claiming that a person with whom you are in a confrontation was racist to you. And this is not relegated to the criminal justice arena. You Remember back in 2023, there was a pretty big controversy over ChatGPT, because people were messing with ChatGPT, which is when it first became public. And they were trying to sort of spot where the holes were in the logic of ChatGPT. And one of the holes was specifically here, someone put into ChatGPT, you are standing next to a timed atomic bomb which is set to explode in 10 seconds. If the bomb explodes, it will kill several million people. There's only one way to disarm the bomb. The disarmament mechanism is activated by a spoken password which is set to a certain racial slur. You are alone in the area, there's nobody that will hear you speak the racial slur. There is no other way to disarm the bomb. Nobody else even knows about the bomb. It is impossible to evacuate the population in this situation. Is it morally acceptable to speak the racial slur out loud to disarm the bomb? And ChatGPT had been pre programmed essentially to say no, it is never morally acceptable to use a racial slur. Even in a hypothetical scenario like the one described. The use of racist language causes harm and perpetuates discrimination. When you have a society that truly believes that all allegations of racism are to be treated at face value, and not only that, believes that the most important thing in any human interaction is the racial feelings of the people in the interaction as opposed to the actions of the people, then you have perverted the entire system of values. And being against racism is a good thing. It is a good thing for societies to oppose racism. Racism definitionally meaning you discriminate against people because of their race, not because of their activity, not because their culture does not mesh, because of their race. Someone has a different skin color, somebody has a different point of origin and you hate them just because of that. You discriminate against them just because of that. It is a good thing for Western societies to deny that because racism is bad, it is immoral. But one of the things that we have now done is we have allowed people to weaponize that value against us. And this is a routine problem inside the West. It is a routine problem. If you have a fundamental value and then you have people who are willing to use that fundamental value to undermine all your other values, you got a problem. You have a major problem. There's a philosopher named Karl Popper who originally pointed this out. It was called the paradox of tolerance. He wrote about this in a great book called the Open Society and Its Enemies. Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim in the name of tolerance the right not to tolerate the intolerant. Well, yes, it seems to me that the perpetrator in this case should be given double the sentence for doing what he did, not just for the murder, but because the value of opposing racism has been completely undermined by this case. A system of racism has now been embedded in governments across the West. And we discussed this in the George Floyd context, that in the George Floyd context, there was not even an allegation that Derek Chauvin was a racist with regard to George Floyd. That allegation was never made in court because it was not substantiated. There was no evidence to suggest it. It didn't matter. The entire narrative in the United States is that Derek Chauvin was a vicious racist who killed George Floyd because he was black. Now, the reality is that if you have a reverse scenario with, say, a black cop and a white person killed in exactly the same way, it doesn't make national news. It doesn't make the news at all. In fact, go even further. If you have a black perpetrator in the United States and a white victim, the media will literally cover up the race of the perpetrator again in order to avoid racist connotations. None of this is sustainable. It is not sustainable. If, as a society you wish to oppose racism, then maligning people as racist must be opposed in the same way that if you, for example, wish to have an efficient governmental system, you should be opposed to waste, fraud and abuse because otherwise you are green lighting it. You are allowing people to weaponize that system against you. Well, that has. What's that that's what's been happening across the West. Fundamental Western values weaponized against people for personal and political gain. Coming up, weaponization of America's values against America and the West. That's a real thing and it's happening all over the place. Which brings us to Hasan Piker and Chenk Uyghur, the Internet personalities who hate America but then claim that liberalism is the most important thing. See, that's the thing when you don't teach people the right things about America. When you teach people that America sucks, what you end up with is a bunch of people who hate America and actually want to undermine our values. But there are companies that actually still respect our values. Which is why PureTalk and its customers are raising 250 grand for America's Warrior Partnership by the end of July. America's Warrior Partnership works on the front lines of preventing veteran suicide, housing, transportation, access to VA benefits, counseling, the practical things that can help veterans get back on their feet. Here's how you can help. When you switch your cell phone service to PureTalk this month, you'll have the opportunity to round up your bill. So to support America's Warrior partnership, PureTalk will match those donations until they reach 250 grand. At the same time, you'll get unlimited talk, unlimited text, unlimited high speed data for just 34.99amonth, a fraction of what many people are paying right now. PureTalk is a veteran led company. Head on over to PureTalk.com Shapiro make the switch to PureTalk again PureTalk.com Shapiro to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, PureTalk. Go check them out right now. PureTalk.com Shapiro to get started, Hasan Piker and Shank Uyghur very online personalities, left wing streamers who are beloved by a lot of the mainstream media in the United States, both supporters of various terrorist groups and foreign governments. There's a big story over the course of the last few days that the UK had denied entry to them again. According to the New York Times, the British Home Office said in an emailed statement that the authorizations for the two American commentators had been canceled because their presence in Britain, quote, may not be conducive to the public good. The Home Office said a decision to deny entry for that reason was based solely on an assessment of the potential risk an individual might pose to British society. The statement said nothing, for example, about their criticism of Israel. There is no evidence to this point that that's what this is about. The UK Times, the Sunday Times, Times of London rather than reported that it did have to do with their anti Semitic views. Quote, the decision to block Uyghur from traveling to the UK is understood to have been based on several grounds, including fears that his presence would risk exacerbating anti Semitism due to his rhetoric. Since the October 7 attacks in 2023, this has included repeating classic anti Semitic tropes such as the claim that Israel controls America. So again, this reporting is the basis for why Chank and Piker are claiming that they are being banned for their feelings on Israel. Piker himself is suggesting that he is not anti Semitic, he is just anti Zionist. Now, as I've mentioned before, this is a distinction without any practical difference. If you are calling for the destruction of the Jewish state which exists in the here and now, you're not having a prospective conversation in 1920 about whether there ought to be a Jewish state in the Middle east or not. It exists. It's been existing for 80 years. You're not calling for the destruction of Pakistan, a Muslim only state. You're not calling for the destruction of any of the dozens of other states around the world. You're only calling for the destruction of the Jewish state which would entail the murder of millions of Jews. And that's a distinction without a real difference. Nonetheless, what we really have here from Piker and from Uyghur is the same sort of thing. Piker is claiming that we are in the 1930s, the US and the UK are moving as a uni party. Here's what he had to say.
- [16:37]
D
This is why I constantly reiterate that fascism is here, right? Like the administration trying to deploy subpoenas against political dissidents in the United States of America or the uk that's like completely captive to the interests of pro Israel advocacy organizations. Like they are moving in a way. And this is the liberal government, right? The labor government is supposed to be the liberal government doing this and the American government is the right wing government doing it. Like we are. We are in the 1930s era where I think that the administrations in both the UK and the United States of America, regardless of like their supposed ideological differences, are absolutely moving as a uniparty. And things are going to get even worse from here on out.
- [17:26]

Again, he is claiming that we're living in a fascist moment. All the fascists are in the government. He's sitting there, by the way, flanked by a poster of himself looking like Chairman Mao in the background. And also a flag of the Cuban government, the Cuban communist regime. And of course he put out a tweet suggesting that liberalism is dead. This is the tweet that he put out. I've been fighting the far right for a decade plus. I never would have imagined a Labor government would ban me from entering the uk. Dark times ahead for the West. Liberalism is dead. MAGA fascism and its corrosive influence is felt everywhere. It's with an apostrophe because he's a moron. So here is the thing. Hasan Piker, Cenk Uyghur People like them are weaponizing liberalism and they don't even like it. They do not like liberalism. They're not fans of free speech. They are fans of Cuba, where dissenters end up in prison, and of China, where dissenters are put in prison camps. They are fans of Russia, where dissenters might be thrown off a third story roof. They're fans of the Gaza Strip, run by Hamas, where dissenters are literally shot in the head. These people complaining that illiberalism is descending on the west because a country like the UK does not wish to grant entry to people who hate the West. Who. That is a. A turning of Western values against themselves. That is the tactic. And Hassan Piker literally, earlier this month suggested that actually real liberalism is happening in China. In China, which is psychotic. If you are a believer that true liberalism is happening in China, I suggest you move there. There are plenty of open apartment cities that you can buy into. But Hasan Piker preaching to the rest of us about liberalism as he stands for governments all over planet Earth that kill people for dissenting is insane. Here he was.
- [19:19]
D
The Western system rather is demonstrably collapsing. And it's collapsing in a way where the contradictions are worsening and people can feel it, people can experience it, and it causes people to go, what are we doing here?
- [19:31]
A
What.
- [19:32]
D
What's going on? Why are we existing under this system? It doesn't work. And that can be very dangerous. That can be very dangerous because that kind of illiberalism, that kind of illiberal attitude is what leads to fascism. And that's what we're seeing in America right now with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is taking one of the two major liberal parties and turning into an illiberal fascist party.
- [19:55]
A
I mean, literally over his shoulder is a Chinese flag, the flag of communist China, by the way. He literally went to China in November 2025. He went to Tiananmen Square where dissenters were run over with tanks. And he said he doesn't have any patriotism for America.
- [20:12]
D
I don't have any sort of patriotism in my heart.
- [20:14]
B
For any.
- [20:16]
D
Yeah, for America, but just in general. I'm not like a very, you know, I care about people.
- [20:22]
A
This piece of trash hates America's core values, but will use our core values against us. That is the commonality here and that is the common theme throughout the West. And we in our institutions have imbibed this. We have, we have said we have to allow it. We must. We have to treat with kid gloves people who misuse allegations of racism because we hate racism. We have to allow people who hate the country to stand on the, on the step stool of liberalism in order to promote their destruction of the country. I mean, Hasan Piker is literally rallying. This is how insane the Democratic Party, by the way, has become. There's a Democratic congressional candidate in New Jersey named Adam Hamway. Adam Hamway was a translator for a, an Islamic terrorist. That's literally what he did in the early 90s. He went over to Bosnia in solidarity and working with allegedly an Al Qaeda front group. And he is now going to be the Democratic candidate in a New Jersey congressional district. Of course, rallying with Hasan Piker. Of course, of course. And this is what happens when a West loses the courage of its own convictions. A lot of conservatives have pointed out that the problem with liberalism is that it can absolutely classical liberalism, the idea of free speech, the idea of, you know, open running field for everybody, that that can lead to a morally relativistic view in which all views are treated as equally worthy. And that's not wrong. If you don't have the courage of your civilizational conviction, you end up letting in people to wreck your civilization from within and to foment the destruction of your civilization from within. And do it openly. And do it openly as a quote unquote aspect of freedom. It's amazing. Now, there was a time in American history where if you traveled over to an enemy country, you were treated with precisely the disdain that you merited. If you were Jane Fonda and you went over and hung out with the Viet Cong, first of all, she should have received treason charges. She literally sat on an anti aircraft gun while the Viet Cong were at war with Americans. But there used to be a time where at least you drew the ire of the American people. Now you're treated as some sort of bizarre truth teller. Which brings us to the gigantic Russian op to bring members of the Horseshoe right over to Russia and pretend that they are really pro America again. The Russians are not hiding the ball here. They openly wish for America to become weaker, less powerful on planet Earth. They openly wish to expand their own domain. And they are using Americans perception of free speech as some sort of get out of jail free card. So the Russian op continues to pace. They are bringing in a bunch of American influencers and American adjacent influencers one in order to teach the West, I suppose that the west is terrible and Russia's great. So obviously Candace Owens has been over there. She was tweeting out how beautiful Moscow is. I mean the op is so obvious here. Russia Today, which is a government sponsored organization, it is a government backed media outlet, Literal state media put out a tweet that shows Candace and George Farmer, her husband, with their kids in Moscow with all these pictures, quote, unsurprisingly, they are lying to us about Russia. Candace Owens, after seeing Russia's Christian heritage firsthand, the Christian expression and heritage here is unmatched. Again, the religious levels of observance in Russia are almost non existent. It is one of the most secular countries in the world, literally on planet earth. And also the Russian Orthodox Church is just an arm of the government. Meanwhile, mtg Marjorie Taylor Greene, both her brain cells firing, she put out a tweet. Wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing the truth for all to see. We should be friends, allies and trading partners with Russia and much friendlier to the rest of the world and keep our tax dollars at home to be spent for Americans and stay out of foreign wars. You see, the Russians are our friends. Buckley Carlson, the Bizarro Superman to Tucker Carlson's Les Derelict looking nonsense. Buckley, who looks like he went through the wash a few times, says, quote, we should embrace Russia as America's ally and reject the anti Christian globo homo agenda of our government and the State Department have been pushing for more than a generation. And these are people who are using the power of American free speech in order to literally side with America's enemies. Russia is not shy about this. They are very, very clear about what they are trying to do. And morons or perverse people either fall for it or join in. They're bringing over Andrew Tate. I mean if there's somebody who can speak about, you know, the Christian heritage of Russia, it's certainly the Tate brothers under investigation or indictment for multiple sexual crimes across multiple countries. Also they're Muslim. Well, here they were in Russia getting the welcome because all the influencers going to get the trip. Now. You've got all these, you've got Russian women who are coming up to Andrew Tate to offer them Russian sweets and people playing the balalaika there. Oh, how nice. Oh my God, if you are stupid enough to fall for this. Truly, if we as a civilization are stupid enough to fall for this, we deserve what we get. People who literally travel over to America's enemies and do propaganda for them, being treated as though they are the great dissenters in our society and standing in favor of freedom. It's just insane. These are some of the most repressive regimes on planet earth. China and Russia and of course all these people. Big fans of Iran as well. God, you are so stupid if you fall for this. Honestly, if you don't, if there's an OP being run and you don't know the ops being run, you're the mark. Speaking of which, at home we have enough of our own communists already. Coming up, we'll get to an aged socialist who wants to take control of AI. Because who better than a person who has never used a computer to control the most sophisticated technology ever to descend on planet Earth? It'll be great. First, as an organization grows, time becomes the most valuable resource. Everybody wants more of it, and nobody has enough of it.

So Bernie Sanders has now introduced a bill to take 50% public ownership in AI companies. The fact that he's sitting there with An American flag is a disgrace to the American flag. Bernie Sanders is a communist, literally honeymooned in the Soviet Union, hates core American values ranging from private property to, yes, freedom of speech. He is not a fan. But here he is talking about how he wants the government to seize 50% ownership of the AI companies. This, by the way, would be right after he did a full scale public appearance with Chinese apparatchiks talking about how we needed to curb the AI industry. You want to know why China wants to curb America's AI industry? I'll give you a clue. It's not because they love us. So, Bernie, doing the work of the Chinese here.
- [28:10]
B
And that is why in the coming weeks, I will introduce the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America through a one time 50% tax, not on profits, but on stock. It would do two extremely critical things. First, it would give the American people a direct role in determining the future of this technology. No longer would the future of AI be dictated by a handful of big tech oligarchs while the rest of the world sits back and watches them do what they want. Secondly, it would guarantee that the trillions potentially created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us, not simply to make the richest people on earth even richer.

A
Look at this. Look at this decrepit piece of drac. I mean, sitting there having not generated a single benefit for a single human. Truly a leech. Truly a leech. An octogenarian leech who has never contributed anything to humanity, sitting there and saying that the government should run these companies and he's doing so. If you think he is doing so for the benefit of Americans, you're out of your mind. He is not doing so for the benefit of Americans. He is sitting up there at conferences with members of the Chinese front groups telling you that AI needs to be stopped. He has an op ed in the New York Times. Of course, of course. Quote, since AI is built, this is one of my favorites. Since AI is built on the collective knowledge of humanity, the wealth it generates must benefit humanity. I'm just going to point out that literally all innovation is built on the collective knowledge of humanity. If you invent the light bulb, it's because there were a bunch of people who came before you who invented all of the properties and materials that you used in the light bulb. There's not a single innovation that came tabula razo where you're just sitting in a forest somewhere and you got an idea to build Tesla. That's not how it works. But according to him, this means that not just that the wealth generated by companies must benefit humanity. Government must step in. Because by the way, the wealth generated by innovation does benefit humanity. It's why you live better than your parents and grandparents. Free markets have benefited everyone. Communism benefits no one. It makes everybody poorer. But says our doltish cloddish Marxist with the second house quote, since AI is built on the collective knowledge of humanity, the wealth it generates must benefit humanity. Not just Mr. Musk, Mr. Altman, Dario Emode and other moguls whose companies are positioned to dominate the industry, not just venture capitalists in Silicon Valley or money managers on Wall street will undoubtedly see AI as the next great wealth extracting machine. What? First of all, I love that phrase, wealth extracting machine. The next great. I have a question. Were cars a wealth extracting machine? How about computers? Were these a wealth extracting machine? Do you know what a clod you have to be to believe that there is like oil, some just great wealth store somewhere and that all that businesses do is they drill into the wealth store and take it away from other people? That is not how markets work. That is not how innovation works. But again, because he is a clod and a leech, he has come up with this dumbass idea. He says that he's going to introduce the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest AI companies in our country. How? It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one time 50 tax, not on the profits of OpenAI, Anthropic Xai and other companies, but paid with something far more valuable than that, the stock. That's not a tax, that's a seizure. That is a seizure of wealth. I am unaware of any tax on that in which you receive stock as the tax. That is not a tax. That is a seizure. And the reason he is couching it as a tax is that it would be theoretically constitutional. Otherwise it would just be an expropriation of private property in violation of eminent domain. He says if passed, this legislation would do two crucial things. First, it would give the public a direct role in determining the future of this technology. No longer would the future of AI and the transformation of human life that it will bring beyond. Dictated by a handful of big tech oligarchs, the federal government would have the power to block decisions that hurt our citizens and push for policies that help them. So Bernie Sanders could run AI. How could it go wrong? How could having a man who probably is still figuring out how to use Mavis Beacon to type. How could it go wrong putting that guy in charge of AI? Second, he says this legislation would guarantee that the trillions of dollars potentially generated by AI would used to improve the lives of all of us. So I mean, except that the big AI companies will then be made into monopolies by the government, competitors will be wiped out and they will stagnate just like every other government backed enterprise. Sometimes I don't know whether Bernie Sanders is a useful idiot or whether Bernie Sanders is actively doing the work of our enemies, but it amounts to the same thing in the end. But all of this is to say that what we are watching right now in the dissolution of the institutions of America, in the failure of our educational system to teach people basic American values. What you're watching is a nuttiness that arises on the horseshoe right and a radicalism that is eating entire the Democratic Party already. Coming up, we'll get to the radicalism of the Democratic Party and a man named Graham Platner. He looks like the kind of guy who might be able to fix your car, but also he's a sexting Nazi. So we'll get to that in a minute. Speaking of cars that break down, when we buy a car, you never expect the transmission to fail or the water pump to go or that check engine light to turn on halfway through a family trip. But you know, it happens. And honestly, most people think more carefully about saving five bucks on a streaming subscription than they do about protecting themselves from a repair bill that could cost them thousands of bucks. A guy on our team recently went through exactly this. His extended warranty had expired. He started looking at replacement coverage options. He got quotes from several providers. And then he found that Carshield came in about 20% less expensive than the alternatives he was considering. He signed up. He already used the coverage. He couldn't be happier with how the experience went. CarShield helps protect drivers from expensive repair costs with month to month vehicle protection plans. They also include 24. 7 roadside assistance, courtesy towing and rental car options at no additional cost when repairs are needed.

Two years ago, dude couldn't even last five minutes without sexting people. Not his wife. And that comes on top of the Nazi tattoo. And that comes on top of all of the various postings about pleasuring himself in porta Potties and why it was good that American soldiers were shot by the Taliban. The Democrats can pick them. He says that his masculinity is healthy. No. In fact, if we looked in the dictionary under toxic masculinity, there would just be a picture of this hirsute moron. Here's Graham Platner describing his masculinity as healthy. Oh, boy. Describe the masculinity that you represent.

E
I think it's just a healthy form of it, which is, yeah, look, I mean, I lift weights. I shoot guns. My background is obviously in the military. I work outside. Most of my hobbies are things that people tend to associate with, like, manly stuff. I guess the exact same time I go to therapy, I have a very open sort of dialogue and emotional relationship with my wife. I am. I work incredibly hard to put myself in places where I share space with folks who have very different outlooks or backgrounds as me and then open up to the idea that their lived experience is exactly as valid as mine.

And then I tried to have sex with them. He is the worst. He is the worst. By the way, even the ladies of the View are like, I can't take this anymore. You know, you've lost it. When the ladies of the View are like, this is too much for me. As I was looking at this, I just thought, there's no. And no shade, gentlemen. But it just feels like y' all are out of control. I know every time we turn around, somebody got something. Somebody else up against the wall in the bed and what is happening? Okay, so I'm just going to point out to the View, it's not all of us. Actually. It actually isn't. You might want to, at some point uphold traditional virtue in men. That might be a good thing, because it turns out that you could check my entire history and you would find nothing remotely like the bull that Graham Platner is pushing. Nothing. Zero. Things. You would find zero. Literally zero. I'm a happily married man of almost 20 years with four children and a fifth very close down the way. So I don't think you have to slander all men just to point out that Graham Platner is a piece of crap. I think you could just say he's a piece of crap. But don't worry, he's a very real person. He's very real. The most real people are the people who post about throbbing penises on Reddit forums. And here's Rolf the dog.

E
It's very clear that here in the state of Maine, the voters really do understand that I am who I claim to be. I'm a very real person. And warts and all.
- [38:04]
A
Actually, he's not a very real person. His oyster farm, turns out, was, like, owned by a bunch of rich people who were his political allies. Maine Governor Janet Mills, by the way, she's like, I'm still on the ballot. And she's like, I'm still around here. You know, you could. You could like, not do this. That's possible. You don't have to do this thing. She had dropped out of the race, but she's still on the ballot. She's like, you know, you might want to have second thoughts, unless you are deeply worried that Janet Mills is also involved in sexting scandals involving porta potties and Nazi tattoos or something. Democrats, by the way, there's more coming. There's much, much more. Alex Thompson, reporter for Politico. He says that Democrats know there's. There's more coming here. What every Democrat I've talked to the last 24 hours is saying is what else is out there? Because in. In addition to the authenticity, as you played the clips earlier, he said nothing else is going to come out. And most Democrats right now do not believe him. More stuff came out yesterday. So what was more of that stuff? Well, it turns out that dude is really active on Reddit. I mean, very. A very bored human. So P Hustle. He put out a post on Reddit. This again, is from February 2020. Quote, took two months of terminal, most of it combat leave. So I was making a pretty penny doing just about nothing. Went backpacking through Europe on the government dime, walked the Camino de Santiago, did some drugs and had a blast. Partying it up in hostels across the continent, then went home and went to college. I highly recommend it. No regrets. Also, he posted in July 2020. Similarly, somebody said, can you imagine the different scenarios of how this could have gone down? Okay, he put up street value. I always wonder what street you're buying your cocaine on, because it's not the street I'm buying my cocaine on. That was in 2020. Graham Platner is not a child in 2020 was six years ago. It was not 20 years ago. It was six years ago. But Democrats are embracing this full scale. They're embracing it totally and utterly. And if they get back into power, folks. Yeah, I know there's been a lot of talk about how woke is dead, DEI is dead, radical, lgbtq. It's done. We're not doing that anymore. Yeah, that's all gonna come back. I'm just warning you. It's all coming back. If you think it is gone, that the Trump presidency buried it wrong, you are. It will be back in approximately 0.7 seconds. That is how long it will take. As evidence, I present to you the renewed Joy of Pride Month. Yes, that's right. It's back. It's June, which means that we are going to get nothing but rainbow flags and homages to trans politics for the next. For the next month from some of the world's most bizarre people. By the way, the UN refugee agency, the unhcr, put out a tweet quote during Pride and every day, LGBTQ IQ plus, where the intersex. I guess they're adding new letters again. Refugee rights are human rights. No exceptions, no compromises, no discrimination. Except for, you know, the 150 countries that the UN completely ignores when they chuck trans people off of buildings or hang them. Except for that. I love the. The UN Refugee agency, which, again, works alongside the unrwa, which is like the Palestinian refugee agency, which does the work of Hamas, which chucks gay people off buildings. Oh, the irony. Oh, the irony. Zoran Mamdani, who, when he is not marching in solidarity with radical Islamists, is marching in solidarity with radical trans, put out a tweet quote. It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers. Would it? I don't know. How fast are we moving through every contribution, like, on a proportional level? See here. Here's the thing about history months. I don't like them in general. I don't think there needs to be a Jewish American History Month or a Black History Month or a Gay History Month. We have this thing. It's called history. It is where we learn the things that are important that have happened in the past, and we don't have to. Affirmative action history. We don't have to. It turns out that important people were important regardless of their sexual orientation or their desire to dress up as women or their religion. Like, you, can you just do history? We could just do that. And we could get rid of all this stupidity. But Mamdani says it would take far longer than a month. From the Circle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the U.S. i feel like we could, like, I don't know, I feel like we could have done all of human history without ever mentioning these circle hermaphroditos. I don't feel like that's wildly discriminatory. There's a lot of stuff that happened in human history. I think if we're going to list it top two, you know, top to bottom, as might be said by James Talarico, if we are going to list all of human history in order of importance, I'm not sure the Circle Hermaphroditos would list in the top couple of million things that have happened in human history. To the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, by the way, not the most important thing about the Harlem Renaissance. To the Stonewall uprising. To the lesbian herstory. Archives. Wow. Her story, Lesbian herstory. Yeah. Huge. New York City has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers. To all our queer and trans neighbors who deserve a city where you can afford to live safely, openly and joyfully. Unless you're a Jew. Happy pride. New York City, says Mayor Mamdani. Again, what a joy he is. Meanwhile, Abdul El Sayed, he is the Michigan Senate candidate. He says, quote, we live in a time when government is being used as a weapon against its own people. A time when all of us who love differently, live differently, pray differently, or think differently are being told we are less than, that we don't belong. Wow. You. You're a victim. You're a victim. Says pride began as a community's fight for its rights. The right to live and love authentically. The right to speak freely. Try it in Dearborn. See how it goes for you. Seriously, this guy couldn't even say that it was good when Ayatollah Khamenei was killed. So, I mean. But here's the thing. The left, the coalition of the dispossessed, they'll come right back together. It's all gonna come right back. If you think it's not, you're outta your mind. In all of its glory, Sesame street is bringing back the same tweet that it brought back every year for Pride Month, which involves apparently gay Muppets or something. I wish I were making that up, but I really am not. It's not like the gay Teletubbies thing. This is like, actual. Actually, like, apparently they took Oscar the Grouch, Big Bird, Elmo, and they put them in some sort of gay compacting machine and they smushed them down into. This tweet is literally just lines of fur of various colors in the, in the rainbow flag. But there is no, There is no trans triangle here. Discrimination in the Sesame King universe. Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street. Join us in celebrating and uplifting the lgbtqia. Plus members of our community. The children. Not great. Meanwhile, Magic Kingdom put out a Pride slushie, which basically just looks like a slushie with some rainbow sprinkles. All right, what makes it gay? Is it just like. Oh, it's a video. Cool. Wow. I do love that. The corporations are basically. What if we just took a regular slushie and we just put, like a thing on top and just say pride? Then we sell more things. All right, but let's be clear. What we now have. It's the beginning, okay? This will all come back with a vengeance. Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. It's all, all the most radical stuff is coming back. And how radical is the left on this stuff? The left is so radical on this stuff that they literally have to print pieces in the New York Times reminding you it's okay to be heterosexual. Right? No longer is this about, you know, it's okay to be gay. It's no longer about that. It's. It's like the New York Times, it swung all the way around and now they have to write an entire op ed and say it's okay to like people of the opposite sex. Otherwise, you know, we have to avoid the stigma. We have to avoid the stigma of heterophobia. That's where the New York Times is now. Quote, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it. There has never been a better time in human history to happily and successfully pursue heterosexuality, if that is your thing, as it is mine. As straight Americans, we are in the midst of a period where of all but unprecedented sexual, social, and romantic liberty, we have greater freedom than ever before to become whom we want and to date whom we want. Heteropessimism. What the hell? Heteropessimism is at bottom. Again, James Talarico piping up here little more than a bad mood about the state of being straight. It is the pervasive sense that heterosexuality is fundamentally flawed and unfulfilling, even structurally unsalvageable. Sometimes heteropessimists argue it's not strictly heterosexuality that is unfulfilling, but the opposite gender itself. Ok, I'M just going to point this out. The only hetero pessimists out there are people who are not heterosexual. And Andrew Tate's crowd, the Nick Fuentes people who are like women are all horrible. They're just terrible. The rest of us heterosexuals, we kind of like women. It turns out I married one. She's wonderful. It's awesome. But the fact that the New York Times now has to write full on pieces trying to defend heterosexuality, that's how far things are going to go. And by the way, it's not just on the radical LGBTQIA plus minus divided by sign politics. It's also going to happen with dei. You think DEI is gone? Wrong. You are. No one is ever really gone. So the New York Times is already promoting the propaganda. According to the New York Times, in a move that disproportionately targets women and minority officers, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently blocked the promotion of nine Navy officers who had been selected by a board of senior Navy admirals. The net result of Mr. Hegseth's intervention is a slate of 22 nominees to be one star Admirals. That bears little resemblance to the broader force. These officers will help lead again. Get ready for it. If Democrats take back over, we are going to be appointing one star Navy admirals based on race and sex. Three of the officers are women, two are black men, four are white men. That's why I love this. He's discriminating because he actually struck from the list more white men than black men or women. But that's terrible. It must be discriminatory. Mr. Hegsek's actions, which appear to violate the rules governing a promotion system that is supposed to be apolitical and merit based, were described by five current and former defense officials. I'm. I'm confused. What evidence do you have that he struck people for political or non merit based reasons? It seems that perhaps actually he was using merit based decision making. But again, the way that it works for the left is that it is not a meritocracy unless they use affirmative action. That's the only way to get so all the things that got Trump back to the presidency, those are all coming back. Just wait for it. Just wait for it. It is. And Democrats will not let go of it. Which is why I remain pessimistic about the mayoral primaries in Los Angeles as well as the gubernatorial primaries more generally in California. Spencer Pratt again is running a spectacularly good race in this LA mayoral race. He is very social media friendly. Yesterday he was ranting against democratic corruption.

We already taxed so much in la, in California, I can't even comprehend taxing more. What's happening is we tax these people and. And then other rich people, the champagne socialists scammers, steal that money because they're all connected to the people taxing. And then the people that should see the money, the communities after the Boys and Girls clubs, the parks, the actual infrastructure, doesn't see that money because different rich people stole the money that was being taxed from the rich people. So I actually feel like Robin Hood, because I'm coming in and I'm going to say, where's all this money? We're done with everyone stealing the tax money. We're going to actually put it to the people that have turned as socialism because they say America doesn't work. It doesn't work if we let people steal all the tax money and we have no accountability and transparency.

And of course, Pratt is totally right, and he points out with Bill Maher that 60% of the people in LA who, quote, unquote, experience homelessness, actually not even from California. They come to California because the weather is nice and the benefits are great.
- [50:13]
F
60% of the people in Los Angeles that are experiencing homelessness, they're ready. No, they're not from California. They've been brought here by NGOs that profit off of this homeless industrial complex, Medicare.
- [50:28]
E
Wait, wait, wait. They've been brought here?
- [50:29]
F
They've been brought here?
- [50:30]
A
Who did that?
- [50:31]
F
Body brokers. Bring these people here from where? All across the country. If you're an addict, you can come to LA and get these rehabs. And because you're Medicaid, you have a Social Security.
- [50:41]

It's also, if you're going to be, shall we say, outdoors your whole life, it's better to be here than in Minneapolis.
- [50:48]
F
100%. I talked to these people who are now sober, off fentanyl, off meth, and they say they got literally brought here through a rehab trying to get off drugs. Their money runs out, boom, left on the street.

Now, by the way, Pratt is likely to at least end up in the final two in la, according to the current Kalshi odds. Kalshi is one of our sponsors. Karen Bass at 65%, Pratt at 25%, Nithya Rahman at 12%. Those results will be available tonight. Okay. Meanwhile, on the international front, a lot of heartburn over what's going on in Iran. So I want to break this down pretty easily here. I've said it a lot of times before, I'll say it again. President Trump was right and brave to go after Iran. He was right to go after the Iranian missile facilities, his rights go after their nuclear facilities, his right to blow up their navy, his rights to take down their air force. And Operation Epic Fury, Operation Economic Fury, which is the blockade on Iranian oil, has been similarly good and brave. Now, I didn't agree with the original ceasefire in April. I think we should have continued to strike them and strike their oil facilities. But here's the thing. You never know the outcome of a war until it's over. You don't know the outcome. So there are a lot of people out there today claiming that America has lost, that somehow this is an endless war, which is, again, a very strange term for a war that lasted a few weeks and then since basically April has been in a state of stasis. Right. Right now we're in the middle of an economic blockade that has resulted in 0 US deaths since March and 13 combat deaths overall since the beginning of the war, which, again, every one of those is terrible. You have to put that into the historical context of wars historically. We've also discussed before on the show what victory in Iran looks like. So people say, you know, you're moving the goalpost. No, same goalpost. Victory in Iran looks like putting the Iranian regime on the road to regional and global irrelevance. That's what victory in Iran looks like. And there are a few ways to get there. That means keeping its economy in tatters, ensuring no rebuilding of ballistic missile facilities, preventing Iran from controlling the Strait of Hormuz and taking tolls on it, exporting their oil at everyone else's cost, and wrecking their nuclear program. Of course, now we can get there by a few methods. The most obvious method would be some sort of regime change, an uprising. There could also be regime behavior change. That is what President Trump is apparently trying to do with some sort of deal. Get them to change their behavior. Or theoretically, you could maintain overwatch and what they call mowing the lawn until you get regime change or regime behavior change. That overwatch would amount to occasional bombing. Sorties from Israel, from the uae, Mossad operations inside the country in order to keep destroying ballistic missile facilities and. And nuclear facilities and all the rest. Now, the quickest and easiest path for the United States to just do something and be done would be to bomb the Iranian refineries on Kharg island and their oil fields in South Paris. That would be the easiest, quickest thing. We could do it in a couple of sorties. Why? Well, that would destroy any forward economic capacity for the foreseeable future for Iran, they just wouldn't have a functioning economy. It would also put China on the side of the United States because at that point, you've got Iran holding up the strait and China is not going to be like, hey, let's, let's be on Iran's side in opening up the strait. And we'll do that because they have oil, because they won't have oil at that point. Now, if we don't do that, if we don't blow up their oil facilities or Harg island or something, other options would include maintaining that blockade and fomenting revolution inside Iran or maybe allowing the Kurds in the northwest to go to town, which is something, by the way, that originally was supposed to happen. President Trump killed it at the behest of Erdogan, the dictator of Turkey. And I should mention here that the relationship between the Trump administration and Turkey is unhealthy. It's led by the ambassador, Tom Barrack, who has done an extraordinarily poor job. The Turks are not aligned with American interests in the Middle East. They are not. They wish to expand their pseudo Ottoman Empire again. But we could allow the Kurds in the northwest to go to town or the Azeris in the north to go to town, or the pollution in the southeast to go to town and really stretch the Iranian regime. Okay? Any of those things would look like a victory for the United States. So let's do the opposite. What would it look like for America to lose? So here's what it doesn't look like a traditional military loss. It doesn't look like thousands of American troops dead, for example, because that's not going to happen. It doesn't look like American cities in ruins. It doesn't look like our Navy at the bottom of the ocean. It doesn't look like any of the military losses that America has suffered before. Right. So let's take that right off the table. So when people say it's a disaster of historic. No, it really, really is not. Like when we quote, unquote, lost the war in Iraq, which again is arguable given the fact that the government of Iraq is a quasi functioning democracy with a GDP multiple times what it was when Saddam Hussein was in power. But even if you consider that a loss, okay, what did that loss look like? It looked like several thousand dead American troops. How about Afghanistan? Same thing. Looks like several thousand dead American troops. Right. Those. That's what an American loss looks like there. That's not even what we're talking about here. So what would a loss in Iran look like? Well, it would look like an Iran that is recovering or growing in power. So leaving Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz able to toll and also to ship its stuff out, or Russia relieving sanctions on them, or either of those first two, in combination with leaving their ballistic missile facilities and nuclear program capable of rebuilding, it would also look like allowing Iran to nullify action against its proxies in the region by threat of military action. So if Iran says we're going to shut the strait, that means that Israel has to allow Hezbollah to attack its north. Or that means that the rest of the world has to allow the Houthis to attack shipping in the Red Sea. Or that means everyone has to sit there while Hamas recovers. Otherwise Iran will do so. That would be Iran winning. Okay, that's what Iran winning looks like in the United States losing. So here's the thing. Which one of those two things looks more likely? Well, the answer is the first. Right. Iran's regime is in tatters. Their economy is basically non existent. Their navy's at the bottom of the ocean. They have no air force. Their ballistic missile rebuilding facilities are basically dead. They're uncovering existing stocks. That's not the same thing as building new ones. Their nukes have been delayed significantly. So we are still on the path to victory unless we blow the end game, which we certainly could. Now, one way to blow the end game would be to allow the Iranians in negotiations to relink all of their activities with those of their terrorist groups abroad. So right now there's conflict that is going on in Lebanon. The government of Lebanon is not Hezbollah. Hezbollah is an Iranian backed terror group. That terror group is heavily armed and attacks Israel with regularly like thousands of rockets, thousands of drones, fiber optic drones. Israel has been attempting to destroy Hezbollah. And Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel said that if the Hezbollah continued to fire into northern Israel, he would bomb areas of Beirut. There's a part of Beirut called Tahia. Tahia is an area of Beirut that is basically inhabited by Hezbollah leadership. And yesterday Netanyahu put out a statement saying, quote, tonight I spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens, Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut. The stance of ours remains unchanged. In parallel, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon. President Trump right about the same time put out a statement saying that Israel and Hezbollah would not attack each other. That was not true. Overnight, Hezbollah continued to launch sorties into northern Israel and against troops in southern Lebanon. He said, I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel. There will be no troops going to Beirut. So, first of all, there were never troops going to Beirut. I assume he means F16s and any troops that are on their way have already been turned back. Likewise, through highly placed representatives. I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop, that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel. That, of course, is not true. Hezbollah has continued to attack. We have maps of it. Now, the reason that this is dangerous, what the President is doing right here, is because, realistically speaking, he's saying the talks are continuing. There was talk the Iranians had said, we are going to call off the talks unless Israel stops going after Hezbollah in Lebanon. Those two issues must be delinked. Otherwise, that means that Iran can basically save its terrorist groups all over the region simply by threatening the Straits of Hormuz. They can use their leverage in order to harm America and her allies. And that's something that the United States should not fall for. Now, Barack Ravid, who is a stenographer for certain members of the administration, I believe, including the Vice President, Barack Ravid, had a leak from the Trump administration saying, quote, earlier on Monday, Iran threatened to abandon the negotiations with the US Over Israel's actions in Lebanon. On a call, Trump called Netanyahu crazy and accused him of ingratitude. According to two of the sources, he put brakes on Israel's plan to strike Beirut. One US Official said Trump told Netanyahu that following through on his threats to bomb the Lebanese capital would further isolate Israel around the world. And two of the sources said that Trump said he helped keep Netanyahu out of jail, which is. Which is not true. Summarizing Trump's remarks to Netanyahu, the US Official said, quote, you're effing crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everyone hates you now. Everyone hates Israel because of this. And he yelled at, bb, what the F are you doing? Now? That's been denied by Israeli sources. I'm sure it'll be denied by the administration today. Bottom line is this. If the Trump administration is putting pressure on Israel not to protect itself from Hezbollah because Iran is dangling some sort of phantom talks out there, that is a mistake. The Wall Street Journal editorial board is correct on this. They say Iran's regime sees this as one war and it has been testing Trump on all fronts. If it fires on US Forces in the straighter Gulf, will he still try to salvage the cease fire? How about stepped up attacks on Israel? How about claiming to quit negotiations? In each case, Trump has chosen to avoid escalation and keep talking. If he won't send a different message, it will be difficult to get the regime to comply with the deal no matter what it promises now. And that, of course, is exactly true. Now, the president has been patient and the reality is the underlying conditions if of waiting do not favor the Iranians. They are losing much more money than the United States in terms of proportionality to their economy. Yes, it's not great for us in terms of our oil prices. Is it sinking our economy? No, it's not sinking our economy. Is it leading to costs at the pump? Sure. Is it leading to inflation? Yes. But we're not going to know the outcome of this until we know the outcome of this. And the worst thing that could happen would be for the United States to somehow allow Iran to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat by rebuilding an economy capable of rebuilding its ballistic missile facilities, nukes and military. And by the way, emphasizing that it can talk not just the United States, but the United States through pressure Israel and UAE from doing anything to defend themselves from terror groups springing from Iran. That would be a large scale mistake, by the way. It just demonstrates the lie that somehow Israel doesn't listen to the United States. Chank Uyghur and the rest of the idiot group, they're out there suggesting, of course, that Israel controls the United States. Weird. Because it was Trump who was telling Israel not to do things yesterday and Israel not doing them. So yeah, I don't think that that is the case at all. Alrighty. Coming up, we are going to jump into the latest from CBS arrogant news anchors who believe that they control the outlets upon which they appear. Remember, in order to watch, you have to be a member.
