Many people think it means a loud alarm that goes off after some dude kicked in your door to scare him, which is kind of crazy. The whole point is supposed to be stopping the break in, not narrating it after the fact. Basically, it's like a. It's a doorbell for burglars. They break through the door. If you're not home, it doesn't matter like one iota. This is actually why I started paying attention to what Simply Save does. A bunch of people here at Dailywire use it. What they all say is basically the same thing. It's not just another alarm that goes off after the fact. Instead, Simplisafe's outdoor camera Series 2 uses AI to identify an actual threat. Some guy casing your house, not your neighbor's cat. It alerts us based live agents who step in and deter him before he ever gets inside. That's the difference. It's not record the crime, then report it to the police. You can't do anything. It stopped the crime before it starts. No long term contract, no giant install and monitoring starts at around a buck a day. So there's really no excuse not to have another layer of protection on your house.

A wave of migrant workers tens of thousands strong crossing the border, flooding the country. A Muslim invasion taking over major cities, serving as the foundation for anti Westernism and social collapse. A left wing government welcoming all of it in the name of both virtue signaling and political gain. We're not talking about America yet. We're talking about Spain. But the current migrant crisis plaguing Spain could come to America much sooner than you think. The seeds have already been planted. We'll get to the shocking footage of what can only be called an invasion in Spain. Plus, we'll break down the latest polling for 2026. It's ugly. And we'll get to what President Trump needs to do. All that and much more on today's Ben Shapiro Show.

A
So remember that time that President Joe Biden opened our southern border and let in millions of illegal immigrants? Also remember that time that radical Muslims began flexing political power in big cities in America ranging from Dearborn, Michigan to New York City. Well, that's just the beginning. How do we know? Because we are watching the Avengers style crossover of these two phenomena, mass migration and Muslim invasion play out in Spain right now. And by the way, it will come to America, too, if the left has its way. So yesterday, truly unbelievable tape started pouring out of a place called Ceuta. Ceuta is an autonomous city. It's part of Spain. It's physically located across the Strait of Gibraltar in Africa. It borders Morocco. You can see the map right here. They're basically two Spanish enclaves in Morocco. Suta is right across the Strait of Gibraltar. Melilla is a little bit further to the east, more toward Algeria. So to understand what's going on, you first need kind of a quick capsule history because again, you've never heard of these places before. Suta was originally established under Portugal, and Spain inherited it from them. Melilla was one of many Spanish conquests on the North African coast after 1492 as part of what was called the Reconquista. It's one of the oldest continuously held European colonial territories in the world. Well, in 1912 was conflict in Africa between France and Spain, or the possibility of conflict. And so they signed something called the Treaty of Fez which essentially divided Morocco. Herbert tribes began using guerrilla warfare to defeat Spanish forces in the area. Francisco Franco cut his teeth originally in the military by crushing Muslim rebellions in Northern Africa. And Spain administered its Moroccan zone. Until Morocco declared independence in 1956, Spain continued to maintain its presence in Suta and Melilla to this day. Ok, so here's why this is all in the news. Yesterday, Reuters reported that some 2 to 3,000 people had crossed via water, the border from Morocco into Ceuta. And they went right around the land barriers and they just swam right through the water and showed up on the shore. Well, it turns out, according to the AP, again, the original numbers like 2 to 3,000. And if you watch the footage, you're like, that's not two or three thousand people. What was the actual number? According to the apartment, at least 60,000. 60,000 people. Like a stadium full of humans. The total permanent population of Suta is 84,000 people. So the population basically just doubled overnight, Literally overnight. Bunch of people died in this wave of migration. The New York Times says at least 18. The AP is reporting at least 34 dead. Again, because these people are crossing in makeshift boats or they are swimming up to the shore. And again, the footage is just stunning. Here is some footage of migrants. These are Moroccans, North Africans walking onto the beach from a dinghy. You see these are like these, these giant boats that are just carrying waves of migrants. And they're getting up on the other side of the fence, right? You can see the fence on one side. People are literally just taking boats, dinghies, swimming, walking around that border into Suta. And once they get into Suta, they're just running into the streets, right? They're just overrunning the city. Here's some of the footage. I mean, look at this. This is insane. People online were comparing this to footage from World War Z, but I mean, honestly, look at this. And it is all young males, all of them. This is all males, 18 to 34. You're not going to see a single female here, you're not going to see a single child here. This is all young, working age or military age, males. I mean, look at this wave of humans. Here's a bird's eye view of people flooding in from the shores. Look at this gigantic, huge parade of migrants who are wandering across that border. It's insane. I mean, this is astonishing and insane. Obviously. Well, when people arrive onshore, the authorities are opening the gates and allowing them in. There is a reason for that, which we'll explain in just a moment. Here is law enforcement opening the gates again. Not a single woman, not a single child. These are not people who are starving. These are young, healthy Muslim men coming from North Africa and running into a Spanish city, abetted by the authorities. That is what is happening right here. I mean, look at this. CHEERING this is insane. Totally insane, obviously. And then the police look on as swimming men are climbing the barriers and attempting to get into the country. I mean, this is truly crazy stuff, right? Look at this footage. This is nuts, obviously. So, I mean, look at this. It's crazy. Look at this footage. It's nuts. So why exactly is all of this happening and the cops just watching all this happen? Why is all of that happening? Well, there are two reasons. One comes courtesy of the horrifyingly corrupt and terrible Spanish Prime Minister, a man named Pedro Sanchez. You remember him from lots of tape of him ripping President Trump or siding with Iran or siding with Venezuela or siding with the Palestinians. The other comes courtesy of the Supreme Court of the country. So, first, the President. Back in April, according to the BBC, Spain's government approved plans to give legal status to half a million undocumented migrants, allowing them to be integrated formally into the workforce. So there are a bunch of people who illegally moved into Spain and the Spanish government decided to legalize all of them. Just a mass amnesty. Prime Minister Sanchez describes his government's decision as both an act of justice and a necessity for Spain. The government's plan offered a one year renewable residence permit to undocumented migrants. Illegal immigrants. In order to be eligible applicants, had to prove they've already spent five months living in Spain and have a clean criminal record. They have between April 16th and the end of June to apply. Sanchez said that migrants helped build the rich, open and diverse Spain that we are and to which we aspired. Again, he just sounds like a democrat because he is actually a socialist. The Prime Minister said these migrants are needed to sustain the economy and public services in a country whose population is aging. Spain has a massive demographic crisis. The fertility rate in Spain is 1.12. So basically halving their population over the course of a generation. He also said that it was the right course of action for a nation in which the past had seen many of its own nationals emigrate in search of better opportunities. So again, the idea is that Western civilization is fundamentally flawed and somehow Spain owes it to millions of people from Africa, from Muslim countries, to get in both the socialist and PP governments. The PP government was a sort of center right government had implemented migrant amnesties in the past the most recent was in 2005 when almost 600,000 people received residency under a socialist administration. So how did that go? Well, they thought it was going to be, you know, half a million people applying. More than 1 million people applied for the mass amnesty in June. And what did Pedro Sanchez said? He said, that's great. He said, we want more. Quote, the more than 1 million applications submitted show how necessary this recognition of rights and responsibilities was. And again, this is all part of Sanchez's open Borders stance in February 2026. Again, this is how you gain international credibility, is you go after President Trump. So an op ed in the New York Times in February 2026 talking about the evils of border control. Essentially he wrote, quote, MAGA style, leaders may say that our country can't handle taking in so many migrants, that this is a suicidal move, the desperate act of a collapsing country. But don't let them fool you. Spain is booming. It is not. We as Western nations must choose between becoming closed and impoverished societies or open and prosperous. 1. Growth or retreat, those are the only two options before us. And by growth, I'm not talking only about material gain, but about our spiritual development. Spiritual development gotta, you gotta bring in vast swaths of Muslim migrants for the spiritual development of your left wing country. Sanchez said governments can buy into the zero sum thinking of the far right and retreat into isolation, scarcity, selfishness and decline. Or they can harness the very same forces that not without difficulties, have allowed our societies to thrive for centuries. For me, the choice is clear now. Again, he's not even arguing in favor of an increasingly capitalist libertarian economy. Right? That's not where he's arguing from. He is a full scale left wing socialist. Here he was in January 2026 talking about how Spain is a welcoming country. It is so welcoming,
- [11:03]
C
some say we've gone too far, that we're going against the current. But I would like to ask you, when did recognizing rights become something radical? When did empathy become something exceptional? Spain is above all a welcoming country and this is the path we choose. Dignity, community and justice.
- [11:26]
A
Oh man, so many nice words for legalizing mass migration, importing literally millions of radical Muslims onto your soil, and also trying to cover up your own corruption. Because one of the reasons that Sanchez is doing this is because his administration has been plagued with massive corruption. According to the BBC, his musician brother David has gone on trial accused of influence peddling. The former socialist prime minister and Sanchez ally man, Jose Luis Rodrigo Zapatero, you may remember him, he's been named in an investigation into alleged money laundering. The police have raided the Socialist headquarters in Madrid as part of a probe into allegations that have been dubbed the Socialist Watergate. Again, the Socialist Party has been under scrutiny since 2023 when Jose Luis Abalos, a former transport minister and deputy party leader, was implicated in an investigation into a network that allegedly received kickbacks from the sale of 43 million pounds worth of face max like British pounds during the COVID 19 pandemic. Sanchez, by the way, in an attempt to overcome his radical unpopularity, he's not particularly popular right now. He's doing very poorly in the polls. Recent regional elections have ejected his party from power. He's relying on a sort of knee jerk anti Westernism and radical anti Americanism. So he pretty much openly allied with Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela during the Iran war. He's pretty much openly allied with Tehran, he's openly allied with the Palestinian Authority and and Hamas. Essentially. Some of that is because Spain has a very long history of anti Americanism and also anti Semitism. The anti Americanism comes from the fact that the United States removed Spain from the North American continent a long time ago and then at the beginning of the 20th century knocked Spain out of Cuba and the Philippines as well. That was our last major conflict. It didn't go great for them, but bottom line is he has been using left wing agit prop in order to attack the west, hoping that that is going to be able to glaze over his utter incompetence, corruption and running of the country directly into the ground. And again, Sanchez, as we'll discuss, has no problem whatsoever with radical Islam and it's spiritually enriching, you see. Alrighty, coming up, we'll get into the second prong of the Spanish failure here. Prong one was the Spanish Prime Minister who has basically decided to amnesty everyone. Prong 2 comes courtesy of the Spanish Supreme Court. All this is quite terrible, but in business, waiting is terrible. The problem is that traditional financing often moves on bank time, not business time. And this is where Cardiff can help you. More than 70% of small businesses need additional capital at least once a year. Many of them qualify. They just don't have weeks to spend waiting for paperwork and approvals. Cardiff's application takes less than five minutes. Eligible businesses can be approved in minutes and funded the very same day for up to $500,000. If you want bank rates without the bank delays, you need to check out Cardiff Co Shapiro for up to 500 grand in same day funding. Whether you're hiring, expanding or investing in inventory, access to capital should not be the thing that slows your business down. Banks try to lock out small businesses. Cardiff has the key. If you've been in business for at least a year and are pulling in 20 grand a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 in same day business funding at Cardiff Co Shapiro. Again, that's Cardiff Co Slash Shapiro. Real growth, fast funding. Cardiff Borrow. Better go check them out right now. Again, pretty much every small business needs funding and Cardiff can help you out. Go check them out right now. Apply for up to $500,000 in same day funding at Cardiff Shapiro. Okay, so there's what Sanchez was doing, which was mass amnesty. We are going to allow people to come in. If you can prove that you're here for a certain amount of time, we'll just allow you to stay forever, basically. And then the Supreme Court of Spain delivered an asinine decision in July. The Supreme Court of Spain essentially ruled, there's a rule in Spain, okay, that if you arrive across the border, you can do what the United States would basically do. If you arrive at the southern border right now, it can immediately be turned back. You don't have to be processed. You don't have to go through the entire court procedure. You be turned away at the border. Well, apparently, according to the Spanish Supreme Court, that did not. That did not apply to anyone who arrives by sea. Right? So if you were in a boat or if you swam, then apparently you could not just throw people back into Morocco. Zineb Reboy reports. The provision of Spanish immigration law authorizing immediate pushbacks applies only when a migrant attempts to cross physical elements of border containment. In other words, when they try to cross a fence. The sea, by contrast, is not an element of containment. The court specifies that drones, cameras, radars and sensors do not substitute for a physical barrier. A migrant intercepted at sea cannot be returned immediately without an individual administrative procedure. Now, originally this was supposed to apply to people who attempted to swim like long distances. And the court basically found that you could not immediately be thrown back to Morocco. So what does that mean? Combine these two things. Hey, if I swim these 10ft around the border barrier, if I swim this 200 foot distance or take a dinghy, then that means that I get to stay basically indefinitely. Because here is the thing. SUTA is not exactly set up for mass administration of legal immigration hearings. That is not exactly how this works. There are precisely two administrative courts in Suta because this all goes through administrative court. Each court handles about 500 new cases per year. There's Already an enormous backlog. So at that same rate, if. If that rate continued, it would take 60 years for Suta to go through the immigration cases. And it's not as though all these people are being kept in detention facilities. That's not how it works. There are no permanent holding facilities in Suta. They don't hold you in confinement. Instead, you check in at the detention facility every night. And during the day, you walk around as free as a bird in Suta. And naturally, the migrants don't seem to be respecting local customs. I mean, how could anyone have predicted such a thing? Why would they? Here's some footage of migrants storming a home in Suta. Looks great. People being welcomed by the dozens into this home. That's going well. That's awesome. And here were some of the migrants. You know, these are nice, Westernized people who just want to be part of Western civilization. Or alternatively, many of them are radicalized Muslims. And you can tell by the way they're yelling Allahu Akbar as they come in. So, Europe, you into this? This is like your thing. Very, very into this, are you? Well, Melilla, which is the other Spanish enclave, it saw its own eruption of chaos last night. There were detonations pluming near the border with Melilla. People lighting cars on fire in Mallo. Yeah, things are going really, really well over there, just beautifully. Well, it turns out that empathy, empathy and feeling and justice, they mean that you must usher into your country hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people who hate your civilization and are perfectly happy to take advantage of it economically until the point that they can actually destroy it. Turns out that there are lots of people who are willing to do that. So how did the Spanish government actually respond to all of this? Well, according to Reuters, the government said that it would send 200 specialized police officers and 60 troops to reinforce Suta's regular forces. Wow. There. There are about 1500 active police officers operating in Sutep right now. So that'd bring the total to 1700 police officers and 60 troops, something like that, to handle 60,000 migrants, none of whom, by the Supreme Court's ruling, can be forcibly ejected without an administrative hearing. Pedro Sanchez put out a tweet quote, the government of Spain is fully committed to providing an immediate response to the situation in Suta. We are mobilizing all necessary resources, working with Moroccan and international authorities and preparing the necessary measures to restore normalcy as soon as possible. This is the moment to build solutions with responsibility and cooperation. Well, whose fault is this? How did this happen? I mean, it's a giant shock. How could this have happened? The Spanish Ministry of the Interior put out a press release saying that Morocco and Spain have agreed to strengthen coordination and efforts to address these flows and have committed to reviewing and implementing measures for the handover as soon as possible of all people who have entered Ceuta illegally. But how are they going to do that legally, how? And again, this is just emblematic of what's been happening in Europe more broadly as we'll get to in just a moment. Now it turns out that the Spanish residents of Ceuta are not reacting super well to the full scale invasion of their city. They're kind of pissed. Again, it's just more evidence of a total invasion of their country by mass migrants who then serve as a hook and ladder system for a massive Muslim migration to the country. Because the laws in Spain with regard to family reunification are really, really easy. One know why? It's a bunch of 18 year old guys who are crossing 21, 25 year old guys, they cross over, they stay as migrants, eventually they get amnesty and then they bring their entire family. Here are Spaniards protesting at the Ceuta government delegation and shouting at Pedro Sanchez. You can imagine why. Actually, That is them cursing, by the way, in Spanish. So what exactly are the Spanish authorities doing? Well, officials in Suto were begging the national government to declare a national emergency. That was rebuffed. The central government officials claim migration crises were not a good enough reason to call a national emergency. But again they say that they are going to send additional resources. Furious Spaniards have been forced to chase migrants down the streets of their home after thousands of migrants flooded the enclave. Now some other countries in Europe are like, man, we are not doing any of this. We are not doing any of this. Giorgio Maloney of Italy, who again has been very anti mass migration, she put out a statement, quote, the images coming from Suta are striking and demonstrate once again that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a concrete threat to the security of Europe's borders. Italy will not stand by and watch. We are convening the relevant bodies and following these meetings we are prepared to intervene with extraordinary measures to defend the borders and the safety of citizens, including the suspension of the Schengen area with Spain. The Schengen area is an EU ruling that says it's an EU regulation that says freedom of travel between all countries. So they're saying, no, no, we're not going to do that anymore because we don't want a bunch of Muslim migrants entering Italy. She says on illegal immigration will not yield an inch. Defending the border. Stopping human traffickers and ensuring effective repatriations will continue to be the line of this government. Now, of course, this is not just a mass migration threat. It is a mass migration threat of a particular ideology. The thing you need to understand about Spain is that according to many Muslims, including all radical Muslims, Spain remains dar Al Islam is called Al Andalusia in Arabic because in 7 11, the Berber Muslim army crossed from North Africa and defeated the Visigothic king. And within seven years, Muslim forces had conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, including Spain, Portugal and France. They were only halted when defeated by the Franks in 732. Again, this was part of the gigantic Islamic invasion of Europe that swallowed up also huge swaths of the Middle east, which adhered to for been Christian. North Africa, which had been Christian. The Islamic Empire ruled the area essentially from India all the way out to the Atlantic Ocean. Enormous, enormous Islamic empire during this period. And Muslims religious, radical Muslims remain committed to the Reconquista, right to their own form of Reconquista, because it turns out of course, that the the Spanish eventually were able to expel Muslim invaders from the peninsula. Toledo was restored to Christians in 1084. Central Iberia in 1212, Granada fell to Ferdinand and Isabella. In 1492, the Reconquista was the Catholic Monarchs pushing out the Muslim population, the Moors. By 1609, Spain ordered the expulsion of the entire population of what they called the Moriscos tour North Africa. The Moriscos would be anyone who is suspected of only nominally converting to Christianity. But bottom line, again, for Muslims, Spain is a place that needs to be reconquered. Al Qaeda, ISIS leaders, they talk about this regularly and Muslims are happy to do this through migration alone. In the last decade. Spain's Muslim population has grown in the last three decades, actually from about 250,000 in the early 90s to 2.5 million people by a factor of 10 by 2025, 2026. Since 2007 alone, the population of Muslims has increased by 1.5 million from 2.2% of the population to about 5% of the total population. A million Muslims now hold Spanish citizenship. Those are comprised of naturalized citizens and second or third generation individuals born in Spain. Most of them come from Morocco, but there are also communities coming from Pakistan, Senegal, Algeria, Bangladesh. And they're heavily located in certain regions like Catalonia, Andalusia, Madrid and the Valencian community. And again, most of these people are coming through economic migration and then they are chain migrating and they're replacing the Spanish population, which as I Said is not reproducing. The reproduction rate among Muslims is, is about three times the reproduction rate among Spanish natives. About 11% of all babies born in Spain, like one in nine births, was to Muslim parent. So what you have seen is a gigantic expansion of Muslim presence on Spanish soil. Foreign born Muslims now account for about 8% of all men aged 20 to 44 in Spain. And as the population ages, it's going to be a larger proportion. This has some pretty serious consequences in Spain as it has across Europe in places ranging from Sweden to France. All right, coming up, it turns out that when you import a bunch of third world people who are also radically Muslim, you might have a bit of a crime problem. I know these things are shocking. You know, it's not shocking that it's very hot today in Florida. It's hot every day in Florida this time of year. And this is why you need a mattress that breathes because the heat does not clock out when the sun goes down. This, by the way, it was a shock to me. I come from California where it'll be real hot during the day and real cold at night. Not true in Florida. So you'll just end up sweat, sweating right through that mattress. You need one made for you by Helix. Helix built cooling upgrades for exactly this kind of summer so you stop losing sleep to the heat.

About 80% of them were foreign nationals, according to an official report obtained by the Vox Party, which is sort of the conservative opposition. There's the PP which is the, the People's Party the sort of center, center right group and the Vox party, which is characterized as far right, but it's just a normal sort of right wing conservative party. The report, which was issued by Catalonia's regional Directorate of police, showed the city's police arrested 21,808 people in 2024. 17,158 were foreign nationals. There were about 4,5400 cases of theft. Almost 5,000 of them involved foreigners. In sexual assault cases, 73% were foreign nationals. Again, none of this is a shock at all. And a huge number of the people who of course have trafficked have been moved across the border, have been moved across the border by trafficking transnational mafias where sub Saharan men work as vendors in public spaces in order to repay their smugglers. So we'll come, they'll, they'll set up shop and then they will put all the money back into repaying the people who smuggled them in. Catalonia is particularly bad. The regional president promoted North African immigration because he wanted to weaken the ties with Madrid. Catalonia is, is relatively left in terms of its orientation. Pretty far left, actually. But integration has failed. And of course there is an almost endless list of high profile attacks from migrants in Spain, ranging from attacks on police officers while screaming Allahu Akbar to attacking normal citizens while screaming Allahu Akbar. Again, Allahu Akbar. Always the, always the sign that something good is about to happen. Again, this is part of a broader view of the Spanish left and of the European left, which is the idea of Western guilt. The reason you import the population is for the same reason that Jean Paul Sartre said, you need to import subject populations, Third World populations, as an element of guilt. It is also very much tied into the left view of the Middle East. Pedro Sanchez has again made himself quite prominent internationally by pushing the idea that Israel is horrible. So remember, importing massive Muslim migration to your country is good. Israel is horrible. Here's Pedro Sanchez recognizing a state of Palestine. Well, I think he honestly, number one, he used to recognize Catalonia as in, as its own state, a Catalan state. But beyond that, it seems to me that in order to repatriate all of the descendants of the Muslims who were Expelled back in 1492, the Spanish government really ought to do the right thing and they ought to welcome in all the descendants of all the Muslims who were expelled in 1492, a right of return, you might call it, and they should be given Spanish territory and Spanish homes and otherwise. I think what you have here is just a form of apartheid. I mean, that border fence Looks to me like an apartheid fence. This is how stupid everything has become. Here's Pedro Sanchez again. He has brought this upon his own country.
- [29:34]
C
Good morning. I would like to inform you that at the meeting of the Council of Ministers that will be held today, the government of Spain will approve the official recognition of Palestine as a state. With this decision, Spain joins the more than 140 countries that already recognize Palestine. This is a historic decision that has a single goal to contribute to achieving peace between Israelis and Palestines.
- [30:03]
A
That is certainly not his goal. It has never been his goal. And you know who knows that? Pretty much all of the people who are arriving and radical Muslims and love him, and they love him for a reason. Again, he is importing his own voting base. Here is one Moroccan migrant talking with Nate Friedman in Barcelona, talking about why he loves Sanchez.
- [30:22]
D
Do you think that they will be voting for Sanchez once they become citizens?
- [30:26]
A
100%, yeah. 100% sure.
- [30:28]
D
And that's why you have long lived Sanchez, right?
- [30:30]
C
Yeah, that's right.
- [30:32]
E
We pray for him.
- [30:33]
D
Amazing.
- [30:33]
F
Amazing.
- [30:36]
D
And is Sanchez good for the Islamic community?
- [30:38]
F
Yes.
- [30:39]
D
And why is he good for Islamic community here?
- [30:41]
A
Muslim people like it.
- [30:42]
B
Why?
- [30:42]
D
Why do they like it?
- [30:43]
A
He stand with Iran. He stand with Iran, with the Palestine. That's why people like it.
- [30:50]
D
Of course,
- [30:52]
A
of course, of course. Nate Friedman again reporting from Barcelona. Here's what it looks like, by the way, Palestinian flags in burqas all over Barcelona. It's great.
- [31:02]
D
These are the streets of Barcelona. When you look up, these are the flags.
- [31:13]
F
You see,
- [31:18]
D
These are the signs. You see? This is what the shops look like.
- [31:27]

Yeah, this, this looks like really, really assimilative stuff in, in Spain. In fact, many of these migrants, they come and then they can't get jobs, as it turns out. And then they blame. Wait for it, Wait for, wait for it. Islamophobia. There are like 90% racism here.
- [31:51]
C
What?
- [31:51]
D
Racism from Spain?
- [31:53]
E
Yeah.
- [31:54]
D
Okay. They're racist as they let you into their country. So how can they be racist if they're letting you into their country?
- [31:59]
A
Look at me, I have some trouble. Big troubles. Look at my hat, my face, my hair. So I look Arab? No, you look. When I got to the metro, people like.
- [32:10]
D
But do you know why they do that?
- [32:11]
A
I'm a good person.
- [32:13]
D
Can you let me talk for a second? The reason they're doing that, the reason they are getting worried is because when this innocent woman is stabbed 30 times, the guy is yelling, Allah is great. He's yelling Allah au au akbar. Right? So people see that and they get worried. Okay? It's not. Do you understand that?
- [32:31]
A
So, so now we are involving in, like, what do we call, like, Islamophobia. Islamophobia. Because they couldn't get the jobs after having been imported to the country. Now, again, this is not just a Spain problem. The United States today just issued a travel advisory for Belgium because of crime, unrest and terrorism. I wonder from which population that would be. I wonder which one it is. A mystery wrapped in an enigma. A huge portion of this was exacerbated in the mid 2010s when of course, you remember German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who wrecked Germany, decided to open the door wide to mass Muslim migration from Syria.
- [33:10]
G
Europa.
- [33:10]
A
It's Ganses. Europe is a homeless move and its states must share their responsibility for refugees seeking asylum. Universal civil rights were so far tied together with Europe and its history. Great job. If Europe fails on the question of refugees, its close connection with universal civil rights will be destroyed. You know, it'll destroy that connection importing a bunch of people who hate universal civil rights, who hate them. It won't be the Europe we do imagine. Well, I mean, it is no longer the Europe that everybody once was able to, you know, go to safely. As it turns out, the results are pretty obvious at this point. Marseille is now somewhere between 25 and 40% Muslim. Brussels is 20 to 25% Muslim. In Belgium, where the State Department just issued a warning. London in the UK is at least 15% Muslim. Amsterdam in the Netherlands is 13% Muslim. Paris, France, at least 10 to 15% Muslim. They're up to 1.7 million Muslims in the wider metro region. Berlin is about 10% Muslim. So this is going great. So here's the thing. The left in the United States has the same feelings as Pedro Sanchez. They are fine with both mass migration and mass Muslim migration. They're fine with both radical Islam and mass migration. They are fine with it. Remember, under Joe Biden, images like the ones that we are seeing in Ceuta, those were not rare. Here was Bill Mulligan reporting from the Rio Grande just five years ago in September.
- [34:34]
F
We are live on the Rio Grande right now on a boat. We want to show you what we're looking at. Take a look at this. This is Ciudad Acuna. This is Mexico, where we have been watching a steady stream of hundreds of migrants crossing the Rio Grande illegally. Brian will pan left here. They're crossing the Rio Grande illegally over a dam, and they are slowly walking over to the United States where there is a massive crowd of these migrants who have Gathered, they go over there, they bathe in the river, they change their clothes and then they walk down a dirt path towards where that international bridge is. Some Border patrol agents and Texas state should troopers just pulled up
- [35:11]
A
and Joe Biden did this not that long ago. And of course today's DSA led Democratic Party openly would like to get rid of our nation's border enforcement agencies. Francesca Hong, who's likely to be the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial nominee, she says that ICE needs to be abolished.
- [35:28]
H
You also have called for abolishing the police and ice. That's a piece of what that political
- [35:33]
A
ideology is about too, is it not?
- [35:38]
H
Well, ICE is a rogue agency and an enforcer of fascism. And I believe that it is an agency that indeed needs to be abolished. And I'm going to be a governor that is most serious about being serious about public safety, where we actually invest in our communities. And we are tough on the causes in order to be tough on crime. Preventing guns from being off the street, taking guns off the street, making sure we're investing in victim services and that people who are incarcerated or work in the prisons are able to work and live with dignity.
- [36:12]
A
So again, this is what the DSA wants. This is what they want. They want Spain. That's what they want. Here's a Florida DSA candidate named Oliver Larkin. Unlikely to win, but you know he's going to try. He says that illegal immigration should be treated like a parking ticket
- [36:32]
F
in and of itself. Isis, we run these roles every day of ISIS bringing these people out of the country who have committed heinous crimes. Last week there were a number of rapes of young, a baby of a 6 year old. Would these types of things be worthy of protest? We need to keep our communities safe and we need to hold people accountable when they have harmed others, when they have broken the law. But let's be clear. Immigration is a civil violation, not a criminal violation. So we need to stop treating the equivalent of a parking ticket like picture. People are breaking the law and need a militarized police force breaking down their doors.
- [37:11]
A
Again, this is where the DSA is. And as we'll talk about in a minute, the Democratic Party has been taken over by the dsa. An entire generation of young people has been indoctrinated into the same sort of belief system as Pedro Sanchez, that basically the west owes it to criminals to let them wander free. There's Nick Shirley asking NYU student about the release from prison of rapists.
- [37:31]
B
And so I'm not certain what prisons are actually doing for our society. And so would you like to have
- [37:37]
A
criminals out in the open?
- [37:39]
B
Do I want criminals out in the open? Sure. I'm fine with that. Because the idea of a criminal is like a little bit funny to me.
- [37:45]
A
Let's just say somebody who has raped a woman, would you like them to be out in the street?
- [37:51]
B
I think my answer is yes, even though that's a challenging answer to say.
- [37:55]
A
So if you got, would you like your rapist to be out in the street?
- [37:58]
B
Well, like, let me finish because I have been raped and they are out in the street and I'm not sure like them going to jail is a solution to like whatever's going on inside their heart or even my own heart that like, contributed to that experience that I'm having. And I don't want more people to get raped. But I don't know for certain that going into a jail and in the United States is going to shift anything inside of their like, operating system so that they'll make a different choice. Again,
- [38:32]
A
this is patently insane. Well, the same left that is not only fine with, but, but encouraging of mass migration, they're also totally fine with the infusion of Islamic values into American government. Abdul Al Said, a terrorist supporter, remains the front runner for the Michigan Senate seat for Democrats. New poll out today shows him up over Haley Stevens. Zara Mamdani, of course, is a pro jihadi who leads New York City. There's an actual alleged spokesperson for Al Qaeda running as a Democrat in New Jersey. And the Democrats embrace this stuff wholesale for the same reason that Pedro Sanchez does. They like the votes and they despise the West.
- [39:05]
I
Right?
- [39:05]
A
And, and now they're reaping the whirlwind. Right? Traditional Democrats are reaping the whirlwind of this stuff because they have bred an entire generation of people who think like this. Here is Chuck Schumer again, the Senate Minority leader being interrupted at his presser by a protester who is a prospective congressional representative in Maryland who is yelling about the Jews. Of course the people didn't come to hear you. You should be, you should be questioned about your diabolical record. It's amazing that you can show your genocidal face in public.
- [39:36]
I
Mr. Senator.
- [39:37]
A
Mr. Sen. That's Bernie Sanders is less good looking brother over there yelling at Chuck Schumer. Meanwhile, Senator Mark Kelly, remember he was supposed to be moderate. Remember that time here he was talking with Katie Couric on about, about the DSA's takeover of the Democratic Party and he says, well, you know, they've got a Point, of course,
- [39:58]
F
you know, as I said earlier, just people can't afford to have a reasonable standard of living.
- [40:05]
A
So do you think that translate.
- [40:07]
H
Does that translate into them wanting to burn the house down?
- [40:12]
F
I think it leads to incredible frustration with the status quo. And people want to see change and they want to throw out the person who's in office and replace them with anybody.
- [40:28]
A
Now, again, these are Democrats basically picking up the DSA and treating them as though they are a decent part of the conversation. They have no systemic immunity to any of this. And how radical, of course, is the dsa? I mean, charter members of the DSA are literally moving to China to do propaganda. Zormadani's video editor is a guy named Eric Hovagin. He moved to China in September 2025 and explained that he, while working for, of course, Hasan Piker, he explains why he did that.
- [40:58]
G
I know what you're thinking. He's blazing China. He's Xi Jinping's number one foot soldier. And the truth is, I wish that would be sick as hell. And I also hear what you're saying. Like, Eric, in a couple of months, Comrade Mamdani is going to transform New York City into the socialist caliphate that you've been praying for. Why would you want to leave right now? The answer is simple. I like Zoran, but the United States is heading in a very bad direction very quickly. I actually had to rewrite this entire video because of a certain event that took place while making it. America's a deeply violent nation and it's just normal. It's like an everyday existence. And it's weird because even though the big cities aren't actually like the crazy zombie wasteland that the media tries to make them out to be, the country as a whole is like six corporations in a trench coat trying to scam you at every turn.
- [41:53]
A
Yeah, that guy moved to China to talk about how wonderful China is, now terrible America is. He's not the only one, by the way. A bunch of DSA members, according to the Times, pledged support to the CCP after a VIP trip. Quote, high ranking activists for the left wing group behind Zoran Mamdani's rise have backed a call to support the Chinese Communist Party, whose officials have organized trips and meetings where members were treated like royalty. More than a dozen members of the DSA have pledged to support the People's Republic of China and to promote understanding of Chinese socialism. So President Trump has responded to all of this. What he is watching over in Suta, and he said, quote, it's terrible Remember that picture? That's going to be us in three years. If the wrong side gets in, he is right. And that could easily happen. I'm going to explain where we stand electorally in a second. First joining us online is Herman Tesh. He is member of the European Parliament and he is a Spanish journalist, lawyer and Conservative politician. Mr. Tesh, thanks so much for taking the time. Really appreciate it.
- [42:47]
E
Hello.
- [42:50]
A
So obviously the entire world is watching what's happening in Suta right now. It's pretty horrifying. Can you explain for people who don't know the background here, why what's happening is happening right now in Suta?
- [43:03]
E
Well, Ben, it's. Well, it's a long story. Obviously it's a long story because it has been in preparation for a long time. I mean, and the, the crisis is a continuous crisis. The two cities, the Spanish cities on the coast of Africa, the northern coast of Africa, a long time before Morocco existed. It's Spanish territory. And the thing is, if Spain has a government with a socialist government, which is a really corrupt government, we can openly say, and we are saying it from Vox and our president, Santiago Pascal has said it very openly also in parliament. In parliament as well. We have a criminal government. And this is having an enormous devastating effect on our country. And this is one of the fronts where we are in most danger. He has opened the borders since he came more than they were. He has been regulating people so that he can gather voters, future voters among people were not Spanish because the Spaniards have stopped voting him. He would never get the majorities he would need. He had to make pacts with the enemies of Spain, with all the separatists, with the extreme left, with the communists, with the Venezuelan franchises that we have that were created here by the father of Sao Paulo. I mean, he had to make a monster of a government, left wing government, which opens the borders and brings in almost everything. He creates hostilities, artificial hostilities to the United States. Continuously insulting the United States, as Tapatero did the one before, who is now addicted because of corruption as well. He insults, obviously President Donald Trump, but he's always hostile to the United States. He's aggressively hostile to Israel. He has all the sympathies for Tehran. He has all the sympathies for Maduro, for all the gangs of the narco socialist mafia in Latin America. So that's the kind of government we are suffering.
- [45:39]
A
So when you look at the current migration crisis, it's really a confluence of several factors, as you say. One is Spain has an incredibly low fertility rate. And so they've been importing labor at extraordinarily high rates for a decade or more. The second is that a huge percentage of the people who are coming in are coming in from Morocco. Many of them are radicalized Muslims. They've increased the crime rate in a lot of major cities in Spain. And the third, as you mentioned, is the fact that Sanchez is trying to legalize all of these people in order to vote. He had a mass amnesty just a couple of months ago proposed is supposed to cover some 500,000 people. A million people applied for the mass amnesty. So basically the idea that he is not attempting to create an entire underclass of people who are going to vote for his party and who simultaneously hate Spain, hate Spain's values. And many of them see Spain still in sort of a traditional Islamic view as dar al Islam, because if you go back far enough, then Spain was in fact Moorish territory going all the way back to the eighth century.
- [46:38]
E
Our, our territory is claimed by the Islamic as much as the Israel territory. So in this sense there is no difference. They want to go be back here. They invaded this country in the year 711. They invaded this country being a Christian kingdom of the west codes, and they invaded this country with, with traitors, with the help of the traitors which were Julian and the Bishop Opas and so on. Now we have again the traitors helping the Islam to invade Spain. Now it's an historical grotesque paradox.
- [47:32]
A
So when you look at the upcoming elections, the next election in Spain for prime minister is going to be In August of 2027, if presumably there is no vote of no confidence or something, do you think the government, number one, lasts until then? And number two, how does that, how does that election look like it's moving forward?
- [47:49]
E
Well, we have, first of all, we will see what happens in this in this month. Everything is very unfluent. All the elections last year, this year have been lost massively by Sanchez. In the regions we have, in these four regions, we have now governments with VOX and the People's Party, but we don't know what Sanchez is going to do. Suddenly we have very strange phenomena here as we have this invasion now. We had the wildfires which are very, very suspicious situations that always are trying to distract from the cases of corruption. When some heavy questions on the corruption of this government, on the criminal or criminal actions of this government are being revealed and are coming to light, suddenly something dangerous happens in this country. We have to remember who is the socialist predecessor of Sanchez, who is now indicted, was the main architect of the links to Maduro, to Castro, and to all the network of the cartels, the socialists and the cartels is an alliance in Latin America. This has a direct connection with Zapatero. Zapatero made these connections. The cartels and the socialist group government from Correa, Morales, from Bolivia, Chavez and then Maduro, they created with Lula from Brazil, they created the Puerto de Sao Paulo, which was a big organization, is a big organization which has developed then also with the Grupo de Puebla. They are. They are a. They are all these terrorists, communists, socialist parties, some legal, some illegal, but all of them finance sooner or later by the cartels.
- [49:59]
A
Well, that is Herman Tersch. He, of course, is a member of European Parliament and he's a journalist with Vox for Spain. Thanks so much for your time and your insight.
- [50:08]
E
Thank you, Ben. Bye.
- [50:10]
A
So, as I've been saying, what's happening in Spain could easily happen here. Democrats, as I have pointed out, largely agree with the general principles of Pedro Sanchez in Spain. Aoc, who agrees with all of it. Right. She says that there's a lot of political realignment happening, and she urges there to be a political realignment that includes, of course, the Tucker Carlson types as well. Here she was.
- [50:35]
H
I think that there's a lot of political realignment happening in the country. And whether, you know, people like it or not, there actually is a lot of hope that can be generated on, you know, among voters of all kinds to actually show us get. Get something meaningful done by people who are most disparate and unlike one another in the House on something that's real.
- [51:02]
A
Okay? So again, she's looking for that realignment. So understand what's happening here. The DSA would love to take over the Democratic Party, and they would like to form a horseshoe with the woke. Right. As well. Hunter Biden is doing this routine. There's a reason Hunter Biden is hanging out with Nick Fuentes, because he's doing the same routine as aoc, just in a dumber way. Here he was on a podcast called Macro Dosing.
- [51:25]
I
I'm not running for anything, so I can say whatever the I want. And here's what I think. I think Chuck Schumer is a piece of and that he my dad over. I think that the speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, at the time also was involved in that. And so I will. I don't have anything nice to say about it. We're not fancy. And I'm supposed to be the guy that says, oh, but you know what? For what Nancy Pelosi has contributed to this country and to the Democratic Party. I'm not supposed that man. And as it relates to Donald Trump, him, his sons, his daughter, I mean it, all of them, the whole family, down to the grandchildren. I hope for the, for, for, for, for the rest of time that, that I am on this earth that their l. Their names will live in, in, in ignomy.
- [52:15]
A
Again, the, the reason that he is attacking these sort of traditional Democrats is because he's trying to make inroads with the DSA and also with the woke. Right? Okay. So here is the problem. The Democrats could easily win, okay, they could easily win. One in three Democrats now identifies as a Democratic socialist. And the Democrats are in a fairly commanding position for the next couple of election cycles. There's a brand new generic congressional ballot out. It shows the Republicans down 8 points in the generic congressional ballot. That's bad. It means they lose the House. Okay. Again, cuz the House is very closely divided. And then when you get to the Senate, things start to get pretty dicey. Brand new Fox poll shows that James Talarico somehow is up over Ken Paxton. Now listen, I think Paxton wins that race because it's still Texas and the sample here apparently over sampled Hispanic voters. It's within margin of error. But bottom line is that Talarico is not a long shot in Texas. He is like a medium shot in Texas. That is not good. Apparently. According to the poll, 1/4 of non Maga Republicans actually back Talarico. 68% of independents and virtually all Democrats support Talarico. Again, I've said before, Paxton is not the strongest candidate in the world. Byron, Texas. Obviously I'd vote for him to stop radical Trans the kids Howdy Doody from getting ascendancy. But it turns out that getting rid of strong incumbents, even if you don't like them very much in favor of weak challengers has some, has some cost. It is not just in Texas that we have a problem in Maine. In Maine there are polls showing. There's a new University of New Hampshire poll. It shows Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, who is the guy who replaced Graham Plat and who it turns out is also a giant weirdo. He is leading incumbent US Senator Susan Collins 4946 and a potential general election matchup. Right. So were he to win, that is a major problem. By the way, I have to say, what the hell is going on in Maine? Seriously, what is happening in Maine? I used to think that all the stories that Stephen King wrote about weirdos in Maine like these weird towns in Maine that maybe he was just exaggerating, you know, for fictional effect. And it turns out that every person who runs as a Maine Democrat has some weird kink. Like, for example, this new Maine Democratic candidate, Troy Jackson. He has two kids with his second cousin. What is happening up in Maine, man? Like what? What is hap. I don't get it. Really. There's just not that many people in Maine. Why? Why is everybody in Maine either a bizarro world nicotine salesman who thinks demons attacked him or a guy who wants to rape home invaders, or alternatively, a guy who nailed his cousin. What is happening up in Maine?
- [55:01]
G
Maine.
- [55:01]
A
Get control of yourselves. Seriously. Jackson, by the way, also admits that he ran anonymous troll accounts to troll Republicans online. He seems like a good pick. Now, as you know, about any campaign, opposition research is a big part of it. And today we got a report from CNN that suggested you ran troll accounts in your past to troll Republicans online.
- [55:23]
F
Is that true?
- [55:24]
A
What's your response?
- [55:26]
E
Well, I guess so. The thing about it is, is that,
- [55:30]
A
you know, I fight for workers, and,
- [55:33]
E
you know, during that period, me and Governor LePage were having quite a time.
- [55:37]
A
And, you know, he wasn't helping workers,
- [55:40]
E
and I'm interested in fighting for workers.
- [55:45]
A
He seems like a charmer, but he could win. Hey, sad be Republicans down once. You remember, Republicans currently have 53, so that would take us down to 52. If you are a conservative or Republican. Sherrod Brown right now is running a very close race with John Husted in Ohio. And despite the fact that Mike DeWine wins generally very, very big victories, the last couple Senate races in Ohio have been pretty close. Bernie Moreno narrowly won his seat. J.D. vance narrowly won his seat. So John Husted is running in Ohio. Sherrod Brown, who's a former senator, is running against him. He's dead even. You lose that seat, you're down to 52. Roy Cooper is almost certain to take the Republican Senate seat in North Carolina. He's up by almost double digits in the polls right there. So barring some sort of cataclysmic circumstance that was taking down to 51. Alaska has a person named Mary Peltota who's in a dead heat with the Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. That would take you down to 50. Iowa's Senate seat, left open by Joni Ernst is now a dead heat. That would take you down to 49. And of course, Talarico in Texas could take you down to 48. So there is a blue wave scenario. I don't think this is what's going to happen here. But there is a blue wave scenario where Republicans drop five seats in this election cycle. And that is going into a 2028 election cycle where Republicans are vulnerable in a bunch more seats. So if they were down to 48, Chuck Grassley could retire in Iowa. He's currently 92. Running for reelect at 94, that would be a hell of a thing in a presidential election year. So that could take you down to 47. Ted Bud is up in North Carolina. If North Carolina keeps trending blue, then that could take you down to 46. Ron Johnson is up for reelect in Wisconsin. That could take you down to 45. Lisa Murkowski is up again in Alaska. That could take you down to 44. And then of course, there's John Federman who caucuses with the Democrats. But he's not as crazy as the Democrats. He's up for reelection. He will be primaried. So you would be down to 44 seats and all the Democrats would be radicalized. Okay, so that would put them at almost filibuster proof levels. And that's if they leave the filibuster in place. Add that to a house wipeout in 2026 and President Trump's successor running on the back of whatever Trump's popularity rating will be in 2028. So when I say that Spain looks like what our future could be, I mean it like we are a couple elections away from having to face this thing head on. Like this could happen really, really quickly. This is why it is quite important the President govern well and that Republicans run a good candidate in 2028. Because if they don't, you could easily see an AOC or Westmore with a Democrat Congress and a Democrat Senate poised to shove America far to the left, maybe for good. Which is why I think the President should probably stop ripping into senators when he needs to get things done. Yesterday the President ripped into John Cornyn. John Cornyn has been saying that he doesn't want to approve the interim Attorney General, Todd Blanche for the permanent position until the President gets rid of this slush fund. I don't like the slush fund. I think slush funds are generally dumb. This slush fund would be a payment fund to supposed victims of January 6th convictions and prosecutions and all the rest. I don't like slush funds because they're generally abused. If you want to make the case that an individual person ought to be able to sue the department for discrimination, I'm fine with that. But that's not what a slush fund is the president went after John Cornyn in pretty colorful language. I think that that is a mistake because again, you do need these people on your side if you wish to pass legislation. John Cornyn, he says, never had a problem with the so called fund, which will not benefit me, but rather the great American patriots who are hunted down like dogs and whose lives were unfairly and illegally destroyed by the crooked Joe Biden administration. Until after I decided to endorse and support his Republican primary opponent in Texas, who easily won the nomination for the US Senate. Perhaps there has never been a group of people treated so badly in our nation's history. I don't think that's. Well, I can think of some groups treated pretty badly in our nation's history. To be fair, they are suffering still, many ruined. I felt they should be given compensation for what has been done to them, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Todd Blanche, a good man, should be immediately approved as us. The President should just drop the demand and get Blanche approved. The problem for him is that he wants to ram through this fund before the election because he's afraid he's going to lose the Senate. Trump is also ripping into Senator Thune. When asked about Thune not having the votes to move the Save America act, said, well, that's too bad for him. He said he's got the votes. He should get it done. He should be able to get it done. And, and then he was wavering in his support as to whether Thune was the right man for the job. Said, we're going to find out and I'll let you know. What? Come on, come on. Ain't no senator, he's going to be able to get this thing over the line. It's just that the votes aren't there. Sorry to break it, the votes aren't there. Attacking your own senators in the middle of a very fraught election cycle. Not great. Also not great. More stories about the President soliciting money from various companies. Again, this is just not good stuff. It's not good. It's not going to help you in an election cycle. I don't care how much money goes into the rnc. If it is tied to the idea that the President is stiff arming corporations for cash companies he's regulating, that is not going to look good. The Wall Street Journal reports today that the President often asks his fundraiser, Meredith o', Rourke, to make larger financial requests than she was planning. For some donors, the ask is 5 million bucks. For others, it is 50 million. The president gives her names to call, often including people who have recently met with him, according to people with knowledge of the calls. This is very important to the president. He's asking me to call you and ask you for this donation. O' Rourke has relayed on phone calls with companies, persistently following up with them. In some calls, she's referred to Trump as the boss, saying, quote, the boss wants this money. There are a bunch of companies that are giving giant checks to Trump. And of course, the White House has gotten directly involved in investing in companies and regulating companies. None of this is helpful. It is not helpful. Do helpful things to mitigate losses and prepare for the future. That would be the recommendation. Alrighty, folks. Coming up, the New York Times has a report that is absolutely important. Again, for the 100th time, they're telling you why you should be polyamorous. I don't know what's going on over at the New York Times. It's a weird place.
