Well, the news is simply moving too fast. We have a stock market crash on our hands. We have the possibility of a massive Iranian attack on Israel. And Kamala Harris is going to choose her VP likely today. You don't want to miss a minute of this because Daily Wire plus members have unlimited on-demand access to our uncensored and

Make sure that you're up to date on pretty much everything because there's just too much happening. So Kamala Harris has now vaulted into a national polling lead according to Nate Silver. Nate Silver, I think, is the best pollster and poll analyst in the country.

According to his poll average, Kamala Harris is now ahead in the national polling, about 45.5% to Donald Trump's 44.1%. There's been significant change in every single swing state in favor of Kamala Harris. Right now, according to the Nate Silver rundown of where we stand state by state, Kamala Harris has vaulted into a small lead in Pennsylvania, a small lead in Wisconsin, a relatively significant lead, a couple of percentage points,

in Michigan. She has even jumped into competitive status in Georgia, in North Carolina. She's still at a point and a half behind in Arizona. She's a few points behind in Nevada. Bottom line is that this election now looks like a true toss-up, according to Nate Silver and, of course, Team Harris.

has reset the electoral map and the momentum since she replaced Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. The question right now is how much of this is a sugar high and how much of this is going to be a sugar high that lasts until post the election? Because let's be clear about this. This is a sugar high. There will come a point where Kamala Harris has to answer some sort of serious question. They're just hoping that that doesn't happen until after the election. After all, there are only 90 odd days until the election and early voting begins in about a month.

Early September, you start to get early voting in some of the swing states like Pennsylvania. And right now you look at that calendar. It is August 5th today. All Kamala Harris has to do is avoid serious questions for the next couple of weeks. And then she is at the Democratic National Convention. She has a bump coming out of that. So it's likely to be a solid two and a half, three weeks more of the Kamala Harris honeymoon happening right now. In fact, I was just checking my calendar. This is a calendar of how many days Kamala Harris has been the de facto Democratic nominee without being asked.

a single difficult question or answering one. We have to change the calendar. We are now at 16 days, 16 days and running since Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee. She has not been asked one question over two weeks, zero questions. That is an incredible showing by the press. I mean, really.

Hats off to a press that is such a Praetorian guard for Kamala Harris. And we are now two and a half weeks into her presumptive nomination after the single most shocking political coup of the last century in which the presumptive nominee and current sitting president of the United States was ousted in favor of his own vice president by a group of people at the elite levels of the Democratic Party, led by the former president of the United States, Barack Obama, the former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,

the current Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and the current House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, plus the entire donor class. They ousted the current President of the United States and presumptive nominee. He'd already cleared all the bars. He'd already won all the primaries. They ousted him for Kamala Harris. It has been two and a half weeks, and she has answered zero questions. That is an unbelievable performance. Now, there are a couple of ways to read that. One is, man, these people are professional. And let's be real, they are. That is what a professional party does. A professional party

Sort of like a mafia. They popped Joe Biden in the back of the head in the car, and then they took the cannoli and left the gun.

The other question, though, is what's going to happen when eventually she does have to answer questions. And this is why, as we'll get to in a little while, Donald Trump should not just be eager to debate Kamala Harris. He should be saying, I want to debate her every week from now until the election because no one else is going to ask her a tough question. You guys won't do your job. And so he shouldn't just respond to her, quote unquote, debate challenge. She's being completely dishonest about the debate challenge.

Donald Trump accepted a debate under certain circumstances with Joe Biden, and then they slotted in, they tag teamed in Kamala Harris. And like, why won't he keep that same debate calendar? Well, because that's a different human. Does she have to debate J.D. Vance now since she agreed to a vice presidential debate with J.D. Vance when Joe Biden was the actual nominee?

But what Trump should do right now is he should say, not only do I want to debate you, I want to debate you every week, like every single week, one hour, one topic every week from now until the election. Because here's the thing. The American people know Donald Trump. The American people do not know Kamala Harris. I know a lot of people who watch this show like, how's that possible? And the answer is, how well did you know Mike Pence? How well did anyone know Mike Pence when Mike Pence was the vice president of the United States? Seriously. Seriously.

How well did people truly know Joe Biden when he was vice president of the United States under Barack Obama? And he'd been in politics for decades, not like Kamala Harris, who only became the attorney general of the state of California, which is not a national level position in 2010. She only became a national level figure when she became a senator in 2016. And then she was running for president like three years later.

Here's the thing. Nobody actually knows who Kamala Harris is because people don't follow politics that closely. And you know what's stupid is that they then vote on the basis of not knowing anything. But you know what's not stupid? Getting life insurance.

So most people have no idea who she is. Most people don't remember her from the primaries because she had a flash in the pan in 2019 and then fell completely apart. Those of us who watch very closely, we're in danger of having a political disconnect where we all know what there is to know about Kamala Harris. Some of us haven't.

have even made three-part documentary series called Scamala, available over at Daily Wire Plus. And you can watch that, and many of you have. But the vast majority of Americans have no idea who the sitting vice president of the United States is right now. They have no idea what Kamala Harris even does for a living. I mean, she doesn't do much, but they have no idea what she was doing for a living before she became the presumptive Democratic nominee, which is why CNN's David Axelrod, he's saying there's a little bit of a rational exuberance going on around Kamala Harris. It's a little early to be calling this election over.

There's a lot of irrational exuberance on the side of on the Democratic side of the aisle right now because there was despair for some period of time about what the November was going to look like. Now people feel like there's a chance. OK, well, that is true. Democrats went from utter despair to wild and irrational hope about Kamala Harris. You have to imagine that at some point somebody is going to hold her feet to the fire.

I mean, maybe not. Maybe not. I mean, you'll remember the entire press did act as a cover agent for the Biden administration, Biden campaign in the 2020 race when they literally all worked to cover up stories about Hunter Biden. So maybe they try this again for the next three months. But as the world situation grows more dire and it really is, the world situation is quite dire right now. Kamala Harris, who is maybe the de facto president of the United States right now, Joe Biden certainly is not.

She should be forced to answer questions since her administration is sitting at the top of American governance right now as things are happening. Things that are happening in the real world are the fault of the Biden-Harris administration. And it was always Biden-Harris. That's what they kept saying over and over and over. Even while Joe Biden was attempting to shuttle her off somewhere so that she didn't have any part in governance.

She kept glomming on to him and claiming that she was part of all the decision making. OK, fine. If you were and if you are, then why don't you have to answer for the fact that we're in the middle of a massive stock market sell off, for example. According to The Wall Street Journal, a global stock market sell off intensified Monday, led by more than 12 percent drop in Japan's Nikkei 225. Tech focused Nasdaq 100 futures were down more than 4 percent, pairing some earlier losses down when S&P 500 futures fell at least 2 percent.

The declines extended what has been a dizzying few days on Wall Street, during which the year's most popular trades have been aggressively unwound. A sell-off in tech shares continued pre-market on Monday with Nvidia, Meta, and Apple each losing 6% or more. Apple took an extra hit from news that Berkshire Hathaway, that's Warren Buffett, had slashed its Apple stake.

Why is all of that happening? Because people are beginning to realize that as the job market is coming in really, really soft, we may be, in fact, as was predicted, entering a recession. Because it turns out that when you jack the inflation rates up to 10, 12 percent, even when you jack them back down all the way to, say, 2.5 percent, what you end up doing in that process is siphoning off all the loose money. And that will lead to less investment, which will lead to job losses.

which is what we are about to start seeing. As the Wall Street Journal reports, concerns about a slowing US economy are front and center for investors after job growth slowed sharply in July. Investors are worried the Federal Reserve has moved too slowly and will need to play catch up in cutting rates. Now, again, one of the things that's so amazing about how our global economy works at this point is how much of it is run by the central banks. Your job should not be reliant on whether Jerome Powell is good at his.

Your job should not be reliant on whether central bankers in London are good at predicting the future and determining exactly what the inflation rate should be. This is why the very idea of a Federal Reserve, for example, in the United States that jacks up and down the supply of money in order to manipulate job markets is ridiculous. What you really want is a perfectly predictable regime.

in monetary and fiscal terms so that you can make good decisions about whether or not to invest or not invest. But that's not the way this stuff works anymore. Now we're all reading tea leaves. Now we're all sitting around wondering what Jerome Powell is going to do. Or maybe he was too late on the gas or maybe he was too late on the break. That

That is not the way a healthy global economy should run. That is the way things are running, however. And a lot of that has been brought about, of course, by the massive spending that Kamala Harris voted for. Remember, the Inflation Reduction Act was a 50-50 vote in the Senate, and she was the deciding vote. Does she get to take credit for that? It seems to me that if she gets to take credit for all of these supposed Biden administration accomplishments, when the stock market starts to tank, well, she gets to take credit for that one as well. And Warren Buffett is looking at the

at the market, and he is saying, I don't like what I'm seeing here. According to the Wall Street Journal, shares of the iPhone maker dropped as much as 8% in pre-market trading after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway disclosed over the weekend it had sold nearly half of its Apple stock in the second quarter. Buffett's reputation as one of the all-time greatest stock pickers means his decisions can significantly sway the market. Apple is also facing pressure from an aggressive rotation out of tech stocks. In addition to Apple shares of Nvidia, Tesla and Alphabet also fell sharply in pre-market trading Monday as investors unloaded riskier assets.

And one of the things that is also happening is that a huge amount of spending has gone into, for example, AI. And AI is going to change the world. However, the amount of money that's going into AI, and you're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars, has gone into AI technologies. The output from that has not matched the input thus far. And so what you have is a bit of an AI bubble in terms of spending.

That is likely to burst, and you are likely to then have some sort of consolidation and then growth in the AI market. But right now is not an amazing time to invest in those particular assets. Meanwhile, Wall Street's fear gauge has been soaring. The CBOE volatility index rose to 51, which would mark the highest close since April 2020 if the increase holds throughout the day. Right now, analysts are suggesting that there is a greater than 25% shot at a serious recession. According to Charles Gasparino,

He says an economic black swan recession is on the horizon. Even before Friday's shockingly worrisome jobs report, unemployment ticking up to 4.3 percent, a slowdown in hiring, followed by a 610 point drop in the Dow. That's what some savvy market analysts and economists told me could be happening, said Gasparino. They see some weird stuff in the economic data that hasn't been factored into the recent Dow and Nasdaq run ups to record territory. Given the supreme importance of the economy to voters, it could turn a neck in that race between Trump and Kamala Harris strongly in favor of Trump.

The reason economists and analysts believe a recession would be a black swan is because it's not expected based on many readings of the economic data. And because if it happened, it would take an already volatile race for the White House to new levels of confusion. Now, again, one of the reasons that this is happening is because the debt has been run up. The amount of money that has been poured into the markets under Joe Biden

And under the late term of Donald Trump, because again, that happened in the middle of the COVID recession. The big problem, of course, is that Joe Biden kept that going even after the lockdowns were over. He just kept spending oodles and oodles and oodles of money and keeping the money loose. Apparently, signs of lower consumer spending are cropping up. Then there's the inverted yield curve where longer dated bonds have a lower yield than the short term Fed funds rate, which usually signals recession. Where is Kamala Harris in all of this? Where is she? Zero questions to Kamala Harris in any of this.

As the economy melts down. Meanwhile, we have the very serious possibility of a war in the Middle East. Well, things are falling apart in the Middle East. The economy is on the downturn.

So the United States, because it is run by fools and simpletons, because Joe Biden is a fool, he's been wrong about every foreign policy issue his entire career without exception, including the he didn't want to kill Osama bin Laden, for example. Joe Biden has been wrong about everything that's possibly wrong about. And Kamala Harris is similarly wrong, but more so. Remember, she says she was the last person in the room on the Afghanistan poll out one of the great disasters in American foreign policy history.

Well, now everybody is sort of sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what Iran will do, whether Iran will fire a massive missile barrage at Israel, whether they will activate their terror group Hezbollah in the north of Israel to perform some sort of spectacular gigantic war assault on the north and center of Israel. Why is all this happening? The reason all of this is happening is because of the weakness and pathetic nature of the Biden-Harris administration. That is why.

Apparently, the United States has been basically going on bended knee to the Iranians and begging them, please don't go too hard. Please don't go too hard. And the reason they keep saying that to the Iranians is because they are afraid that if Iran goes too hard, Israel will then respond and clock them into next week. And they don't want a war in the Middle East.

But it turns out the best way to prevent a war in the Middle East is by deterrence. It turns out when Donald Trump was president, he had an excellent Iran policy. Contain them, sanction them, destroy their oil industry, prevent them from lending support, both in terms of weaponry and materiel and in terms of economic support to terror groups all over the region. Create a burgeoning Sunni Israeli alliance. Do all those things and you will turn Iran from a terror regional power into a

a non-functional terror state with a lot of oil supply. They can't go anywhere. That is what the Trump administration successfully did. And then Joe Biden came into office and he immediately reversed everything. He put the Saudis on the out. He put the Israelis on the out. He delisted the Houthis as a terrorist organization. He went to Iran on bended knee and begged them to get back into an Iranian nuclear deal they were already violating. He went to the Israelis and he said, you need to make concessions to Iran's terror proxy groups.

And it turns out that that resulted in October 7th and in Hezbollah launching thousands of rockets into Israel and in the Houthis attacking shipping in the Red Sea and in terror groups run by Iran using Iraq as a terror base from which to fire ordnance at Israel. This is all the Biden-Harris administration. They're truly the worst foreign policy administration of my lifetime, without a doubt, bar none, no competitors whatsoever.

They're far worse than Barack Obama, which is saying an awful lot since Barack Obama basically handed over the Middle East to Iran and Russia. It's really amazing. So Iran is now being asked by the United States to please show restraint. And Iran is saying we don't want to show restraint. And the reason they don't feel like they have to show restraint is because they are perfectly aware that the Biden administration is putting all of its pressure not on Iran, but on Israel. They can read. They're perfectly aware of Barack Ravid's stenography reports over at Axios. Barack Ravid's a reporter for Axios.

And he's a stenographer for the for the Biden administration. Anytime they want something out there, they go to Barack Ravid, they slip in the story and he puts it out there. And so they leak like a sieve to him. According to Barack Ravid and Axios late last week, President Biden privately demanded in a tough call Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stop escalating tensions in the region and move immediately toward a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, according to two U.S. officials. Why is he saying that? Because Israel killed Netanyahu.

Ismail Haniyeh, who is the political leader of Hamas, a terror group currently holding five American hostages. Now, normally as an American, I'm very much in favor. I don't know about you. I very much like when the heads of terror groups that are holding Americans hostage get killed.

They deserve it. It's good for the world. Few of those people on planet Earth. Very, very good. Israel also killed the number two in Hezbollah in Lebanon. Also very good for the world, considering the United States had a five million dollar bounty on that terrorist head because he was largely responsible for the murder of 241 American service people in the 1980s in the Lebanon barracks bombing. Joe Biden's response to this is I can't believe Israel so mean. I can't believe they're escalating because the math only works one way, according to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

When Israel defends itself, that is escalation. When Iran escalates, that's retaliation. That is the math the Biden administration applies to all of this. And Iran knows it, which is why they are perfectly willing to quote unquote retaliate with overwhelming force, according to the Iranian government. According to Axios, Biden and his top aides are deeply frustrated by the fallout from Israel's assassinations in Beirut and Tehran, which took place less than a week after Netanyahu's first visit to the Oval Office in four years.

U.S. officials don't mourn the deaths of either Hezbollah's top military commander, Fuad Shukur, who was involved in killing 241 U.S. Marines in Beirut in 1983, or Ismail Khania, Hamas's political leader. But they feel Netanyahu kept Biden in the dark. Well, no bleep, Sherlock. The reason that Netanyahu and the Israelis kept Biden in the dark is because he leaks information like this. So did the Obama administration. The Obama administration every so often would just leak Israeli national security information in an attempt to please the Iranians.

Hell, half the foreign policy establishment under Joe Biden actively works with or for the Iranians. There have been multiple members of the Biden foreign policy team who are now under direct suspicion of having taken payments from the Iranians. According to Axios, U.S. officials told Axios that Biden called Netanyahu to discuss U.S.-Israeli joint military preparations for retaliations by Iran and Hezbollah, but also to make clear he was not pleased with the direction the Israeli prime minister has taken in the last week.

One U.S. official said Biden complained to Netanyahu that he had just spoken last week in the Oval Office about securing a hostage deal. But instead, Netanyahu went ahead with the assassination in Tehran. You see, because the best policy, as always, as I mentioned last week, is to negotiate with terrorists and lose more slowly. Just as the Biden administration treats as a victory the release of American hostages in favor of terrorists and spies and murderers back to the Kremlin.

Biden told Netanyahu the U.S. will help Israel defeat an Iranian attack. But after that, he expects no more escalation from the Israeli side and immediate movement toward a hostage deal. He's trying to blackmail the Israelis into making concessions to a terror group that is currently holding Americans hostage.

Behind the scenes, according to Barack Ravid, and this is, again, coming directly from Team Biden, Biden raised his voice and said that he wants a deal reached within a week or two weeks. Why? What's that math? A week or two weeks. Hmm. Let me think. What's happening in like a week or two weeks? Oh, you mean the Democratic National Convention. So in order to please Kamala Harris's domestic pro-Hamas constituency, the Israelis are supposed to preemptively surrender to Hamas, according to Biden Harris. Biden told Netanyahu a hostage and ceasefire deal is the most important thing right now. Apparently,

He then suggested he's apparently he yelled at Netanyahu on this call. That was the report is that he actually was shouting at Netanyahu because Netanyahu had the temerity to kill terrorists.

Well, folks, Joe Biden is just running around yelling at American allies. It might make you sick to your stomach a little bit, but you shouldn't get sick generally, which is why you need balance of nature. So here's the thing. I exercise. I try to get enough sleep. I try to eat well. Balance of nature fits directly into my day to day. Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and veggies every time. It sounds miserable and time consuming. With balance of nature, fruits and veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement to ensure you get a wide variety of fruits and veggies daily. Balance of nature takes fruits and veggies. They freeze dry them. They turn them into a powder and then they put

them into a capsule. You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day, and then your body knows exactly what to do with them. And it's kosher, which means I can put that in the protein smoothie in the morning. Go to balanceofnature.com. Use promo code Shapiro for 35% off your first order as a preferred customer. Plus, get a free bottle of fiber and spice. And when you're on the road, it is very difficult to get the nutritional intake

You need, especially for me, I keep kosher, which means that I'm going to the middle of nowhere half the time. They don't got a lot of kosher food over there, but I can use that balance of nature to keep myself in tip top condition, which is what you need because you need me giving you updates, but you need it for your own life as well. Go to balanceofnature.com, promo code Shapiro. Again, that's balanceofnature.com, promo code Shapiro for 35% off your first order as a preferred customer. Plus that free bottle of fiber and spice. Meanwhile, he apparently threatened Israel that he said, you know, we'll help you defend yourselves this time.

But if you escalate, maybe not next time. You think Iran doesn't know that? Iran can read. They have people there who are literate. It turns out that they too can read the news reports. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have greatly increased the chances of World War III with their weakness, their cowardice. It's unbelievable. And they're sending out their entire foreign policy team over the weekend, not to tell the Iranians to stop, but to tell Israel that it ought to cut a deal with Hamas, no matter the circumstances, by the way.

Here, for example, is John Finer saying that a ceasefire deal has to take place literally as soon as possible. Israel also targeted a Hezbollah commander this week. Has that set back the ceasefire negotiations? Well, look, we've been quite clear both publicly and President Biden has been on the record about this a number of times and also privately to the Israelis and to other partners in the region that we think this ceasefire and hostage deal has to continue.

take place as soon as possible. This would be the best outcome, we believe, for Israel's security, certainly for the hostages themselves who have been through an unimaginable ordeal, but also certainly for the Palestinians living in Gaza and for the wider region to just turn the temperature down on this entire situation and create the possibility for a more peaceful future and improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. They are so pathetic. That's the deputy national security adviser.

Again, that is the Biden-Harris administration. This is their fault. What is happening in the Middle East is solely the fault of the United States drawing a gap between itself and its actual allies in the region, Saudi Arabia and Israel, along with the UAE, along with Bahrain, and instead attempting to curry favor with the mullahs in Iran.

There's always been the master plan of Barack Obama, the actual president of the United States, who actually did have his third term via the dead old man in the White House and now his fourth term, presumably under Kamala Harris. Obama was always the driving force behind the foreign policy of this administration.

Meanwhile, John Finer says,

It's a great, it turns out credible use of threat of force is an excellent deterrent.

Why people refuse to understand that basic foreign policy logic is absolutely beyond me. It's the story of literally all foreign policy for every country ever. Credible threat of the use of force, particularly when you're the most overwhelming military power in the history of the planet, is really good. Again, this is something Donald Trump inherently understood. It's something he inherently understood. So quick story. I did a fundraiser for President Trump a couple of months ago. In the back room, we were all talking.

And President Trump started talking about why Vladimir Putin had not invaded Ukraine while he was president of the United States. And Donald Trump said, I had a conversation with Vladimir Putin and I told him, Vlad, Vlad, if you invade Ukraine, I will bomb the out of you. And Vlad, Vlad said, no, you won't, Mr. President. And I said, well, I might. And then Trump said, because he's right. And if there's a 5% chance that that's true, you're not going to do it.

That is how foreign policy is actually conducted in the real world, as opposed to the morons in the State Department who believe that you can talk your way and massage your way into friendship with the Ayatollahs in Iran. But here is John Feiner suggesting we're doing everything we can to keep this from boiling over by putting pressure on America's allies. When has this ever worked? Seriously, when has it ever worked to preserve peace beyond, you know, the next week and a half?

to draw a massive gap between you and a Democratic ally fighting actual honest-to-God terror groups as designated by the American State Department. It's insane. Here's John Feiner, Deputy National Security Advisor, being a dullard.

In the current moment, as you just said, the Pentagon is moving significant assets to the region to prepare for what may be another need to defend Israel from an attack. While simultaneously we are working very hard to de-escalate this situation diplomatically because we do not believe that a regional war is in anyone's interest in the current moment. And that is something that we've been trying to avoid since October 7th. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. You haven't been trying to do anything of purpose.

It's absolutely pathetic. So if a war does, in fact, break out in the Middle East, you know who to blame? Biden-Harris. Okay, so you have an economy that is on razor's edge and a stock market plummeting. By the way, it is worth noting here, Warren Buffett now owns more outstanding treasury bills. This is a national statistic. He owns more T-bills than the Federal Reserve.

He has $277 billion in T-bills. They own 4% of all T-bills issued to the public. That's how much they were betting against the stock market growing under Biden-Harris. And then meanwhile, you got Biden-Harris facilitating war in the Middle East by demonstrating that they are yellow-bellied when it comes to the Iranians. And still no questions are being asked. Again, day 16, 16 of no questions being asked to Kamala Harris. She's the current vice president of the United States.

Forget about her being a candidate. She's apparently she's the only one with any level of synaptic firing happening in the White House. Joe Biden is so out of it. He's going on the wrong plane to poop.

But Kamala Harris is very much alive. She's the candidate. Any questions, media? Any? Any at all? Well, Kamala Harris, terrible at her job. The media, terrible at their job. And you know what Kamala Harris could have used in her home? Some solid HR, considering what her husband was doing with the nanny. When we started The Daily Wire, the biggest question mark was what we would do for HR. We were so focused on creating engaging content, it was difficult to find a managing professional capable of handling those day-to-day HR tasks.

Meanwhile, it turns out even the moral suasion of the Kamala Harris campaign is a bunch of horse crap.

So Doug Emhoff, who we have been told is the kindest, gentlest. He's the second gentleman. He's such a gentleman, Douglas Emhoff. Oh, my gosh. Douglas, what a class act. And of course, we know that he's Jewish. That's the part that's really important, because we know that Kamala Harris would never be radically anti-Israel because Doug Emhoff is so Jewish. He's so Jewish, he has no idea what the hell Hanukkah is about or Purim just makes up weird stories about what those Jewish holidays are about. And his daughter has raised millions of dollars for

terror proxies in the Gaza Strip, but he's so Jewish. That dude is so, that's how we know. He's a great guy. He's a super great guy. Not only is he Jewish, but Doug Emhoff also condemns toxic masculinity because he's the ideal spouse. Here he was talking about the evils of toxic masculinity because of course he is a white dude for Kamala.

There's too much of toxicity. It's masculine toxicity out there. And we've kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine, where you've got this trope out there that you've got to be tough and angry and lash out to be strong. It's just the opposite. Strength is how you show your love for people. Strength is how you are for people and how you have their back.

and how you stick up for other people and pushing up, pushing out against bullies. I mean, that's what I believe it is. He stands up against bullies. It's about being nice to people. It's about being beautiful to people like your nanny. So that's the thing that guy did. So according to the New York Post, Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, Dung Emhoff, on Sunday admitted that he was banging the nanny, which apparently is a habit inside the Biden administration.

The second gentleman reportedly strayed from then-wife Kirsten over a decade and a half ago with a blonde nanny named Najin Naylor, who taught at a private school attended by their two kids. And then he impregnated her. But good news, Doug Emhoff is pro-choice. And so abortion is an amazing solution to that time when you can't help stooping the nanny.

I got to love the upper class coastal elites in California, the ones who are bragging about their moral level, about toxic masculinity and about tolerance for all lifestyles while they bang the nanny. And just unbelievable. Here is a tweet. October 7th, 2022. I remember when Kamala Harris called me to tell me about the Supreme Court's decision on Dobbs. The first thing I thought about was my daughter. As a dad and as a husband, I'm going to do everything I can to speak out and help advance reproductive freedom.

Well, I'm sure that the first thing he did think about was the daughter that his, you know, that his nanny probably killed. You know, the one that was in her uterus because he put it there. What a delightful person Doug Emhoff is. And then we get lectures about the morality of Biden-Harris team, Team Biden-Harris. Honestly, you want to talk about a group of weird people? This is a group of weird people. These very, very upper class people who live in coastal enclaves with very blue politics,

who are cheating on their spouses with the nanny, impregnating them, getting abortions, divorcing that spouse, going on to marry senators in the United States Senate, and then they get to be second gentlemen. But don't worry, that is what love looks like. Love is love. Love is love. Why does any of that matter? Who cares about the second gentleman? It only matters because the campaign keeps trotting out Doug Emhoff as a great moral exemplar to men everywhere.

They tweeted out a picture over the weekend. That was honestly one of the lowest T pictures I've ever seen of Doug Emhoff hopping off a bus with Kamala Harris. So enthusiastic campaign for Kamala. I mean, to be fair, none of his kids need a nanny anymore. So I suppose that I suppose perhaps perhaps he can keep it in his pants this time. But we'll we'll we'll see. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is supposed to select her VP candidate either today or tomorrow. We'll get into that momentarily. First, the

The Daily Wire, we're about to release our very first theatrical film, like, in theaters. We need your help to make it a giant success, because let's slap Hollywood in the face. Now, it also happens to be a hilarious movie. From the white dudes who brought you What Is A Woman? comes America's next great question. Am I racist? It is only in theaters September 13th, and it is fantastic. Matt Walsh went undercover in the belly of the DEI beast, surrounded by professional race baiters and diversity grifters.

Here's what you need to know right now. Presale tickets are available August 15th. Mark your calendars. That date is really important. It's coming out just a couple of days before the DNC. Watch the trailer right now at www.miracist.com. Get a taste of comedy to DEI for. Oh, because like die for. But go check it out. It really is very, very important. Again, www.miracist.com. Go watch the trailer.

Get a taste of the comedy. Presale tickets are available very shortly, so make sure that you're awake for that because it's going to be awesome. And meanwhile, Kamala Harris is narrowing down her VP selection. So apparently she's down to a few choices. She's been interviewing finalists, including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Sunday.

She's expected to announce her choice ahead of a first joint appearance scheduled for Tuesday in Philadelphia. The fact that it was pretty obviously going to be Josh Shapiro broke on Friday when the mayor of Philadelphia put out like a full video touting Josh Shapiro as the VP candidate. Probably it was scheduled for Tuesday and instead it went out early. So everybody was sort of assuming that it would be Josh Shapiro.

apparently Barack Obama is a big Josh Shapiro fan, which makes perfect sense because Josh Shapiro does a pretty good Barack Obama impersonation, actually. He has all of his mannerisms down in the same way that people on the right suggested that, say, Ron DeSantis or even J.D. Vance, they started to imitate the mannerisms of President Trump. Josh Shapiro does like a pretty solid Barack Obama impersonation. Not as good as mine. Not as solid as this Shapiro's. No relation, by the way. I am not related to that Pennsylvania governor. But in any case,

He apparently is sort of a creation of Barack Obama. But there is one problem for Josh Shapiro, and that is that he is a Uden. And there are a lot of members of the Democratic Party who are not so happy with the Uden right now. They think that they are too pro-Israel, that they are warmongers. And there are a lot of people inside the Democratic Party who really, really like Hamas and really, really hate Israel. The Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, AOC wing of the Democratic Party. And so basically, everybody has sort of been stabbing each other in the back.

In Democratic circles over who will be the vice presidential candidate, the big hit on Josh Shapiro, who, of course, is the obvious pick. He is a swing state governor with a 61 percent approval rating. So pretty obvious pick. Right. Makes perfect sense. The big hit on him has been that he is pro-Israel.

And that when he was 20, he wrote an op-ed in which he said the eminently true thing, which is there will not be a Palestinian state any time in the near future because the Palestinian population is radicalized, which is 100% true. Well, good news. As a Democrat, he has absolutely no principles whatsoever. So he immediately apologized for that over the weekend. And he said he doesn't believe anymore what he believed when he was 20. He didn't explain why he was wrong, but he's going to mirror the anti-Israel bona fides of the presidential candidate he seeks to serve.

He also does happen to be not nearly as moderate as he's made out to be. So he made some early sounds in Pennsylvania about how he was pro-school vouchers. Then he tended to kind of walk away from that. He has suggested that the pro-Khamas protesters on college campuses, they're equivalent to the KKK ideologically. He will walk away from that too, because again, all of these politicians are so unbelievably ambitious that they are willing to set all of their beliefs aflame, just pour gasoline on them and set them on fire in order to get ahead by like one step.

Willing to sell out anything to be vice president of the United States. But he was never that moderate, Josh Shapiro. He just happened to be running in Pennsylvania against Doug Mastriano, an actual crazy person. It turns out that running bad candidates in swing states is a very bad strategy for Republicans. They tried it in 2022. Didn't go great, Bob. In any case, here is, for example, Josh Shapiro at a pride rally.

I'm here at Central PA Pride, and I want to say to everybody, happy Pride. This is a commonwealth where you should be free to be who you are and love who you love and be comfortable that here in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the birthplace of democracy and freedom, you are loved, you are respected, and you are heard by your governor. I've been proud to be with you in these battles, proud to be with you in these fights. We are making progress.

Don't worry, he's a moderate. Meanwhile, he lies about Donald Trump's abortion position. He is basically a rote Democratic politician with a couple of sort of more attractive features. Mainly, he comes off as moderate, even when he's saying very radical things. Here he was just last week suggesting that Donald Trump wants to pass a national abortion ban, which is obviously untrue since Trump has disowned that entire position.

Trump brings chaos to everything he does. He ripped away the rights of millions of women to be able to make decisions over their own body. And by the way, if he's returned to the White House, I'm sure he and Vance will try and pass a national ban. Josh Shapiro's smarter than that. He knows that Donald Trump did not pass a national ban or rip the rights away. The Supreme Court said the issue of abortion goes back to the states. That's the entire overruling of Roe. That's the whole thing that stops. It has nothing to do

With Donald Trump, quote unquote, ripping away. Right. But again, Josh Shapiro is just a down the line Democrat who happens to be popular in Pennsylvania because he appears moderate from time to time. But again, his big drawback as a candidate for the Democrats is that a lot of the radical parts of the Democratic Party do not like that he is Jewish and they demand fealty. They demand that Kamala Harris disown him. And they suggest that if you want us to lose the enthusiasm we have recently regained,

then you cannot pick Josh Shapiro. So that's been the big push against Josh Shapiro. Meanwhile, there's Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona. He's another candidate who's been widely discussed. And the problem for Mark Kelly is that he's absolutely milquetoast. There's nothing about Mark Kelly that screams interesting. Not only that, Mark Kelly has some pretty dicey connections with Chinese firms in which he has invested in the past. He actually had investments with one of the firms, apparently, that helped develop the Chinese spy balloon. So all of that would come up, presumably.

Here is Senator Kelly suggesting that Kamala is solving the problems on the border. Uh-huh. Sure. I can't stress more that this is an issue that Donald Trump and Republicans just want to talk about. I mean, J.D. Vance is down here. I think he's in Arizona today, probably getting a photo op at the southern border. Kamala Harris is about solving problems. Donald Trump wants to take us, drag us back a decade.

This is not particularly enriching stuff, but he is from a swing state. He's from a border state. And for some reason, he's perceived as moderate. Again, well done. Just...

Quick note to the Republican Party, broadly speaking, well done on running terrible candidates, guys, like truly well done. I'm old enough to remember when there were two Republican senators and a Republican governor from Arizona. So slow clap for the Arizona GOP, which has managed to completely destroy itself over the course of the last 10 years in the state of Arizona. Same thing to members of the upper echelons of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania, which has somehow managed to take a purple state and elect two Democratic senators and a Democratic governor. Like really, really well done.

This is the thing. The Democrats, they're professionals with this. The Republicans are amateur hour. They're just amateur hour. Meanwhile, Andy Beshear, who is the Democratic governor of a very red state in Kentucky, he was discussed a little bit as a possible VP candidate. He seems to have fallen off a little bit, mainly because he's not very good at this. One hilarious story involving Andy Beshear, governor of Kentucky, happened when he was ripping on unemployment fraud in Kentucky. And he suggested that Tupac Shakur had received unemployment benefits.

in Kentucky. And it turns out that he had, but not that Tupac Shakur. So that was awkward. Unfortunately, it's going to take a little bit of time in these because a couple of bad apples can make this challenge that much more difficult. For instance, we had somebody apply for unemployment for Tupac Shakur here in Kentucky, and that person probably thought they were being funny. I didn't know.

And it's my fault that we have a Kentuckian who goes by Malik, whose name is Tupac Shakur. I talked to him on the phone today. I apologize. Well, he's not the brightest bulb in the basket. Meanwhile, another candidate who's up for this thing. I have no idea why. Tim Walls, not from a not from a swing state, realistically speaking, also happens to be wildly radical. You remember just last week he was on the white dudes for Harris committee.

also known as the low tea party. And he suggested that socialism is just another word for neighborliness. Like when you turn in your neighbor, so he gets shot and you can take his small farm in Ukraine. For one thing, don't ever shy away from our progressive values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.

It is so true. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. Like when you report your friend for having crossed the Soviet Communist Party and then they drag him off to a gulag and give you his apartment. Socialism, neighborliness, the same. Meanwhile, Gretchen Whitmer, who has been considered, she's kind of fallen off the board a little bit. Not as much talk about Gretchen Whitmer, but she is the somewhat popular governor of Michigan for no reason I can discern.

You'll remember that back in July, she was out there lying about how Joe Biden could easily serve a second term, which is hilarious because he can barely finish out his first term, if at all. I think that the debate rattled a lot of people, right? It was a lousy performance. I don't think anyone's disputing that. I spent some time with the president in the White House with a number of my colleagues shortly after the debate. I talked to him this past weekend with all the other vice chairs of his campaign co-chairs. And, you know, he's up for this.

Yeah. And then five seconds later, she's like, I can stab that guy right in the neck. We'll toss his prone body to the vultures. She also says, by the way, the women are people with a period, which is which is interesting because half of her supposed appeal is her womanliness. Bipartisan tax cut will help reduce the economic burden of the cost of menstrual products, especially for lower income Michiganders.

saving people with a period from paying taxes on up to $4,800 in spending over the course of their lifetime. And finally, there's Pete Buttigieg. So Pete Buttigieg is, of course, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, which qualified him for zero things ever, but he is gay. And that's very important because being gay makes you a possible VP pick these days. Here he was not all that long ago, suggesting that religious institutions should overtly be punished if they don't hire LGBTQ people.

Here he was. This is again, not all that long ago. Mayor, just to be clear, do you believe that other religious and nonprofit institutions like colleges and homeless charities should lose their federal funding if they refuse to hire or serve LGBTQ people? Yes, if they are discriminating, then they should not be doing it with federal dollars. Amazing stuff there from a possible VP pick. So all of these are not particularly good VP picks. The big question for the Democratic Party, the most interesting one is, will they overthrow the Josh Shapiro VP pick?

As a sop to the pro-Hamas crowd, which would be a pretty excellent indicator of exactly what the future of the Democratic Party would be. If a bunch of radicals inside the Democratic Party can take the most obvious front runner for VP and toss him out the window because he happens to be pro-Israel, even after he's out there denouncing all of his former views.

I think you can tell the direction of the Democratic Party. Now, remember, according to the Democratic Party, all that we are watching right now, the possibility of a massive war in the Middle East, a crashing stock market without extraneous rationale, cost of living up dramatically over the last three years. According to the Democratic Party, this is all good. See, they have to play this weird trick. And the weird trick is that Kamala Harris is both directly responsible for everything Joe Biden did. And also Joe Biden is very good at this.

Joe Biden is like an amazing president. And Kamala Harris was part of that amazing presidency. So Nancy Pelosi over the weekend was out there suggesting that Joe Biden is such an amazing president. He should be on Mount Rushmore, which is weird since you kicked his ass off a cliff. I mean, unbelievable. She basically garroted that guy. She hung that dude from a crane. She's like, but he was an amazing gentleman. And he still continues. His corpse continues to do an amazing job.

I mean, she's still got the knife. It's like fresh from his back and the blood is oozing off of it. And she's like, oh, but but Julius Caesar was incredible and is incredible and should be on Mount Rushmore. Here's Nancy Pelosi really going for it here. Such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States. Want to know what comes next? That he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore, Lincoln and Joe Biden.

But you got Teddy Roosevelt up there and he's wonderful. I don't say take him down, but you can add Biden. Add Biden onto Mount Rushmore. Well, like the back of his head walking away. Are you talking about this face? Like the one from the...

From the debate, you're just going to have a big, giant, chiseled head of Joe Biden falling asleep, drool falling out of his mouth. These geniuses. But this is one of the reasons why I think that this race is not even remotely over. Kamala Harris, again, I'm not going to say it enough times. We are on day 16. Day 16. Zero questions. War in the Middle East. Massive economic bubble bursting. Terrible cost of living problems.

Day 16, she's the nominee. Like at some point, she's going to have to answer a question. And it turns out they have no answers to these questions. So Senator LaFonza Butler, whose name I barely even knew because she was appointed to the California Senate recently. And apparently she was asked about Kamala Harris's flip-flopping positions. Her answer here is just a classic of the genre. This is some solid stuff here from LaFonza Butler.

What do you think that voters should think when she's reversed herself on several issues just in the last four years? I think that voters should think that she's a human being who learns new things every single day and has the ability to take the time and effort to hear the concerns of all people. Wow, that's a great answer. So she shifted all of her opinions because she's human.

She's a human being. Get this? Who learns new things. So apparently Kamala's word saladitis...

is actually contagious. And everyone around her also has to become some sort of word salad, bizarro world rhetorical idiot every time they talk about Kamala Harris. Why is she shifting all of her positions? Well, she's a human. And what we mean by humanity is that she has a capacity to change. And the significance of the importance of the change of the humanity is the reason why... Ha ha!

All of them. They're all turning into Kamala in real time. It's like invasion of the weird body snatchers. There's a reason why Sherrod Brown, I am enjoying the constant updates that we are doing on the show on Sherrod Brown, I will say. The senator from Ohio,

who, again, he's in a red state. He is a very blue senator in a pretty red state now. And he's running against Bernie Moreno. He's narrowly ahead at this point. And he, just every time they ask him about Kamala Harris, he starts shrieking and runs through a wall, leaving a Sherrod Brown-shaped hole in the wall. So here he was on CNN running directly away from Kamala Harris. You campaign with Kamala Harris if she comes here? I don't. I have not. I mean, I have not.

I've got my own schedule. She's got her own schedule. I will focus on my race. My strategy is perhaps different from hers. So that's a no, by the way, that'd be a no there from Sherrod Brown. I'm not going to be anywhere near her because then I'd have to give dumb answers like Lafonza Butler about humanity and change. OK, so what should Donald Trump do to take advantage of all this? He should go on attack, obviously.

Democrats are trying to present the argument that Donald Trump is afraid of Kamala Harris. The chief argument they're making right now is that Donald Trump has said that he doesn't want to debate Kamala Harris on ABC. And you can sort of see why, given the fact that ABC News is staffed by people like George Stephanopoulos. George Stephanopoulos spent the weekend basically cutting off Republicans who disagree with him, as is his want. The Keebler elf of morning television. He suggests that Byron Donald, for example, shouldn't be able to give anecdotes.

answers to pretty straightforward questions. And these answers are perfectly fine. This is Byron Donalds, congressman from Florida, who's a Trump ally. This was Rachel Scott's question. My question is on those rioters who assaulted officers. Would you pardon those people? Oh, absolutely, I would. That's his words.

Yes, but you did not leave in was the rest of his comments where he said, yeah, I would, but we want to look at everything on a case-by-case basis. That's what will happen, George. No, that's actually, that's not what he said. He said if they were innocent, I would pardon them. They've all been convicted. He said he would pardon those who assaulted police officers. Do you support that or not? George, you just...

George, you just changed the soundbite. You just changed it. Now you added, if they're innocent, then I will pardon them. Let's go back to the record of January 6th. Again, not something that matters. I didn't change the soundbite. That's exactly what he said. Okay, and then George Stephanopoulos cuts off Byron Donalds and says the interview is over. I can't imagine why Donald Trump doesn't really want to debate on ABC News. With that said, the Democratic talking point these days that Trump is afraid of, Kamala Harris, here's James Carville trying to trot out this one.

So the big question is the debate. Of course, Trump was supposed to debate on ABC, I think it was September 10th. And of course, he's, Trump was scared to debate a girl. So now he says he wants to do Fox. And he wants this. And of course, he's shitting in his pants because as we pointed out,

Before, all he does is fart in his pants. Strong language there from James Carville. A compelling argument. So Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that if Vice President Kamala Harris does not agree to a Fox News debate, he will not debate her. This is the wrong strategy. Listen, no one wants Trump to win more than I do. I donated money to his campaign. I've held a fundraiser for him. I think the world requires the end of the Biden-Harris era. It's awful.

The way to end that era is for Donald Trump to get on a debate stage and expose her to public view every week. And again, I think more debates, the better, because I think that what Trump is thinking is if I do one debate and it goes badly, then she's going to get a bump. So how about this? How about a series of debates? How about like a whistle stop tour? We can have a debate once a week on a topic and she will lose every one of those topics. We can do it every week because here's the thing. Ain't nobody changing their opinion of Donald Trump, but.

But the more you see of Kamala Harris, the more you dislike her, which is why they've been hiding her. She's like, where's Waldo of candidates? She's walking around like a striped sweatshirt and glasses and a funny hat, looking increasingly like Joe Scarborough. She's hiding everywhere in plain sight, but mostly hiding. So he needs to expose that. He needs to put her out front and center. The Trump team is starting to put out attack ads. They put out a series of 15 second ads about Kamala Harris on social media. And these are effective.

This is the sound of inflation, courtesy of Kamala Harris. And then you see a gasoline pump. Price is increasing. Travel anxiety, courtesy of Kamala Harris. Here you have, again, somebody pumping gas. This is the sound of inflation, courtesy of Kamala Harris. And it's like this, a lot of this sort of stuff. And that's totally fine, but you need to see more of Kamala Harris's face. More of her laughing as the world burns.

More of her guffawing and dancing with RuPaul's Drag Race while the Middle East turns into flame. And Donald Trump did a rally over the weekend. Again, Trump, he needs to be meticulous in his attacks because most of his rallies will be about very well-calibrated attacks on Kamala Harris and her campaign. That'll be like most of his attacks. And then...

He'll just randomly start attacking Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia. And then the headline that comes out of the rally will not be anything about Kamala. It'll be about Brian Kemp. We'll get to that in a moment. But here was Trump suggesting that Kamala Harris needs to be redefined. People need to know that she's going to destroy the country. He is right about this, of course. Four months ago, she was considered grossly incompetent by the fake news. Now they're saying, oh, isn't she wonderful? Isn't she wonderful? No, she's not wonderful.

So we have to work hard to define her. I don't want to even define her. I just want to say who she is. She's a horror show. She'll destroy our country. He is right about all that. And that needs to be the line of attack. J.D. Vance doing a good job. He says she's delivered an open border and inflation. That is her big delivery. Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump delivered peace. He delivered prosperity. Kamala Harris has delivered an open border and skyrocketing inflation. It's really just not a hard argument to make, but we're going to make it as aggressively and persuasively as we can to the American people for about the next 95 or so days. OK, and that has to be the campaign. What doesn't help is when you just randomly attack the governor of Georgia. So over the weekend, that same rally, Donald Trump just launches into a diatribe about Brian Kemp. I'm sorry, a presidential campaign is not Festivus.

It's not time for the airing of grievances. You know who Donald Trump could use? The governor who has already endorsed him for the presidency and who defeated Stacey Abrams in a very competitive battleground state, Georgia. You know what's not useful? Going off on Brian Kemp. That is a useless gesture. It is stupid and it is useless. And the reason I'm upset about this is because Donald Trump is fully capable of turning all of his substantial guns on Kamala Harris. He's not running against Brian Kemp. He's running against Kamala Harris. Brian Kemp is the governor of Georgia. He's a Republican and he endorsed Trump.

This is just a mistake. It's foolish. Here is Trump doing it. Raffensperger and Brian Kemp, your governor, who I got elected, by the way, who wasn't for me, he would not be your governor. I think everybody knows that. He's a very disloyal person, isn't he? Very disloyal. How about not that? If President Trump wants to win and I want him to win, so please don't do this sort of stuff.

then he probably should focus in on, you know, the person he is running against who he has to redefine as opposed to allowing the press off the hook. See, here's the thing. The press look for Trump's attacks like this and it's like oxygen to them. It allows them not to cover the actual issue, which is Kamala Harris. Brian Kemp is not the issue. Kamala Harris is in fact the issue.

And just one second, we'll get into the more media misdirection, the media trying to continue to play J.D. Vance as weird. Plus, RFK Jr. actually tells a very, very weird story, like an actual weird story. If you're not a member, become a member. Use code Shapiro. Check out for two months free on all annual plans.

Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. Growing up, I never thought much about race. It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me. Am I racist? I would really appreciate it if you left. I'm trying to learn. I'm on this journey. If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.

Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert. Here's my certification. And what you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. This is more for you than this for you. Is America inherently racist? The word inherent is challenging there. I'm going to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument. America is racist to its bones. So inherently. Yes. This country is a piece of shit. White. Folks. White. Trash. White supremacy. White woman. White boy. Is there a black person around here? There's a black person right here. Does he not exist? They don't say I'm racist.

Hi, Robin. Hi. What's your name? I'm Matt. I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful. I never be too careful. In theaters September 13th. Rated PG-13.
