Did The Depp/Heard Trial Crush #MeToo? w/ Christian Toto

5.25 Freeform Discussion w/ Frank Camp

The court in New York is currently trying Donald Trump on charges that are completely specious — charges that, effectively speaking, he paid off Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election for electoral purposes as opposed to personal purposes, charges that have not been sustained by any sort of federal criminal prosecution against Trump.
What is all that really about?
What it’s about is humiliating Donald Trump.
I don&#8217;t know why Democrats seem to think this is going to affect Trump in any way, shape, or form. Trump has been part of the seamier side of American politics and business for decades. There&#8217;s a reason he was in a tape for Playboy. There is a reason he was seen as a Studio 54 guy for years and years.
It&#8217;s not as though Trump has led the most pristine sexual life. And no one at this point is surprised by any of the allegations that were made in court yesterday.
But that did not stop Democrats from dragging Stormy Daniels into court. She is the heroine of the Republic because, as it turns out, all it takes to be a heroine in American life now is to be a porn star who has sex with a married man and then effectively blackmails that married man for money.
And then, when the deal fell through, Daniels decided to go public with all of that to harm him.
That is what heroism truly is, so long as that married man is a Republican. If the married man is a Democrat, as we all know, it&#8217;s time to wreck the woman. If that married man is Bill Clinton, then it&#8217;s time to completely wreck Monica Lewinsky’s life. That is how this works.
All of this came to a head yesterday.
Prior to going into court yesterday, Trump suggested all of this was coming out of the “crooked Biden White House.” The orders may not have come directly from the White House, but it is very clear that Democrats in the city of New York have decided they are going to engage in electoral interference. That&#8217;s what this stupid case is.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1960-stormy-talks-spanking-member-exclusive-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
Trump went into the courtroom where the judge, who is absolutely oriented against Trump at this particular trial, decided to allow the testimony of Stormy Daniels.
To be extremely clear, there is no legal reason Stormy Daniels had to testify. She brought nothing useful to the court. There was no reason whatsoever for her to be in the courtroom. Whether or not she had sex with Trump is completely irrelevant to the charges that are being brought because they are about whether he — via his lawyer Michael Cohen — paid her off prior to the election and then reimbursed Cohen after the election, and whether it was a campaign finance expense as opposed to a personal payoff designed to quash the rumors so as not to bother his wife, Melania.
The case the defense is making is that this is the kind of payment that is constantly made in American life. It can&#8217;t just be pinned on the election.
The case the prosecution is trying to make is that this was all about stealing the 2016 election by silencing Daniels, as though any of the Daniels material coming out prior to the 2016 election would have saved Hillary Clinton, which we know is not the truth because there was a tape of Trump talking about grabbing women by their genitals and he still won. You think a tryst with a porn star would have changed the outcome in 2016?
Daniels talked about her sexual tryst with Trump in 2006. Now, you may be asking yourself, isn&#8217;t the year 2024? Wasn&#8217;t this affair almost two decades ago? What the hell are we talking about Trump&#8217;s 2006 sex life for?
That&#8217;s because you&#8217;re a rational human being. We&#8217;re talking about Trump&#8217;s 2006 sex life because the Democrats need some hook to hang their hat on to claim he&#8217;s a convicted felon. They charged him with 34 counts of felony campaign finance violation in the city of New York.
The plan was to get Stormy Daniels in the room saying shameful things about Donald Trump.
This whole thing was a put-up job. It was all designed so Daniels could unspool this bizarre story about the one time she slept with the future president, the time she spanked him with a rolled up magazine.
Her original story was that they had this awkward encounter she didn&#8217;t really enjoy, but she didn&#8217;t say no. Now, she treats it as though it&#8217;s a quasi-rape.
During her testimony, Daniels <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/07/stormy-daniels-testimony-trump-hush-money-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, “I was staring at the ceiling. I didn’t know how I got there.”
Really? She went up to his room and then didn&#8217;t say no as he had sex with her. She has had sex with people on camera for a living. This was not her first rodeo.
The attempt to turn Daniels into a resistance hero is quite pathetic. It&#8217;s designed to be a laugh line for the Left wing, which is why journalists spent the day guffawing at Trump.
I&#8217;m going to put it out there as a warning to people on the Left laughing at Donald Trump: The last time you laughed at Donald Trump, when Barack Obama made a joke about him at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Trump got angry, ran for president, and became president.
So good luck with the laughter.
If this is the best the Democrats have, they ain&#8217;t got nothing.

Stormy Daniels

If you&#8217;ve ever worked in some capacity on procuring a federal government contract, then you&#8217;re familiar with maybe the single most obvious and grotesque <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-contracting-is-the-next-dei-target-race-affirmative-action-supreme-court-ca60eaf4?st=567k88x0e9wat4y&amp;reflink=article_gmail_share">form</a> of affirmative action that exists in this country.
It&#8217;s been around for a long time. As far back as Nixon&#8217;s administration, gender and racial affirmative action became mandatory for federal construction projects in the city of Philadelphia. Any federal contractor that hired fewer than 80% of the local share of “any race, sex, or ethnic group” risked losing their contract — and being barred from working with the federal government entirely. Within a year, those requirements applied to contracts with all federal agencies, nationwide.
As an attorney named Michael Toth <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-contracting-is-the-next-dei-target-race-affirmative-action-supreme-court-ca60eaf4?st=567k88x0e9wat4y&amp;reflink=article_gmail_share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a> recently in the Wall Street Journal, those rules are still in place today, half a century later. In fact, they&#8217;ve only expanded in scope. Now the federal government can <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/welcome-to-the-world-of-minority-contracting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">award</a> no-bid contracts to so-called &#8220;minority-owned&#8221; businesses in many cases.
The end result of this policy has been exactly what you&#8217;d expect. For one thing, contractors know that they need to employ a token number of women and minorities in order to get any kind of government grants. Additionally, so-called &#8220;minority-owned&#8221; contractors often get government contracts, and then subcontract them out to contractors who didn&#8217;t meet the diversity quota.
This is all highly inefficient — it&#8217;s fraud, basically — and it&#8217;s resulted in taxpayers being forced to waste a lot of money. As City Journal reported recently, some government projects <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/welcome-to-the-world-of-minority-contracting">cost</a> nearly 20% more than they would have without these affirmative action programs. Multiply that by hundreds of billions of dollars&#8217; worth of federal government contracts every year, and you begin to see the problem.
Instead of ending this social engineering, and simply allowing markets to work without crude demographic manipulation, the Biden administration&#8217;s allies in state and local governments are doubling down. They&#8217;ve decided that they know exactly what the demographic makeup of each industry should be — and it just so happens that white men aren&#8217;t wanted in any industry.
I&#8217;ll start with Maine, where this week, Democrats have determined that the field of construction — where blacks and hispanics make up nearly 40% of the workforce — simply isn&#8217;t diverse enough. Specifically, the governor, Janet Mills, has determined that more women need to be construction workers. And therefore, Mills has signed an executive order that, among other things, will use state and federal funding to prioritize construction projects that involve women. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Maine Women In Construction Industry" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aDwOlgVA03Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;We need construction workers, especially women, now.&#8221; Why? Why especially women? This is odd coming from Janet Mills, who spent her college years traveling through Europe and learning French, before going to law school and spending the rest of her life in government. What does Janet Mills know about construction, exactly? How is she qualified to say anything about what the construction industry needs, or who’s most qualified to fill those needs?
As always, this DEI initiative is a solution in search of a problem. There is absolutely no reason to believe and not a single shred of evidence to suggest that the construction industry was in any way suffering due to a lack of female representation. There isn’t one problem in the construction industry that you can point to and say: “You know what will solve that? More women!” That’s because no problems can be solved by involving more females in construction. And on top of that, there is no evidence at all that any qualified female has ever been denied a job in construction due to her sex. By all accounts, fewer women are in construction for two simple reasons: First because most women don&#8217;t want to do construction. And second because men are generally much better at it.
Of course, it&#8217;s completely rational for women to dislike the idea of working in construction. It&#8217;s one of the most <a href="https://x.com/eyeslasho/status/1787885252847013976" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dangerous</a> jobs you can have.
<div id="attachment_734755" style="width: 721px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-734755" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-734755 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/vvvv-rt-711x576.jpg" alt="Source: bureau of Labor Statistics, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. AEI." width="711" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/vvvv-rt-711x576.jpg 711w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/vvvv-rt-300x243.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/vvvv-rt-768x622.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/vvvv-rt.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px" />Source: bureau of Labor Statistics, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. AEI.</div>
As you can see from this chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it&#8217;s among the top 20 most dangerous jobs, along with roofers, police officers, truck drivers, miners, farmers and ranchers. And you&#8217;ll never guess what all of these top-20 most dangerous jobs in America have in common. They&#8217;re all overwhelmingly done by men. Construction is more than 97% male-dominated, and it has a fatal injury rate of 15 per 100,000 workers. That&#8217;s on par with cement and concrete manufacturing, which is also more than 97% male-dominated.
These jobs can be very dangerous — and in fact would be even more dangerous for women.
That’s not just because women are weaker and more injury prone — though they are. It’s also because a large percentage of the deaths on construction sites are caused at least in part by heat exhaustion. It just so happens that women are more sensitive to temperatures — both hot and cold. Any married man is very familiar with this phenomenon. One minute your wife is complaining that she’s freezing to death, you adjust the thermostat by one degree, and now she insists that the house is a sweltering desert.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1364-the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
So that is just one of the reasons why men tend to do most of the physically demanding jobs outside. Men tend to do most of the physically demanding and dangerous jobs everywhere. This is not a privilege that men have but rather a responsibility they carry. The takeaway from this shouldn’t be that we need more women doing these jobs. It&#8217;s that men (and white men in particular, historically) have had a unique and essential role in building and maintaining our civilization. We would not have this civilization without them.
Rather than this constant drumbeat of scolding and lecturing and guilt and resentment — and treating the presence of this group as a problem that must be solved or a cancer that must be treated — the appropriate attitude is one of appreciation and gratitude. Men built every building you’ve ever been in, every bridge you’ve ever crossed, every road you’ve ever driven on. Sure, if you’re a bitter, resentful little brat, maybe that fact will make you feel somehow diminished. But if you’re a smart, mature, decent person, instead of demanding that we kick men out of these industries, you will instead have some gratitude. You will say, “Thank you men. Thank you for everything you’d done for civilization, and for me personally.” That should be our answer to the Janet Mills of the world. Rather than going on the defensive and justifying ourselves, men as a group should say to her: “Hey you ungrateful child. The correct response is thank you. Didn’t your parents teach you manners?”
This same logic applies to race as well. These days, of course, as noted, it’s not just white men in the construction industry. But historically speaking white men have been uniquely indispensable contributors to western civilization. Most modern technology was invented by white men. Most of the great discoveries were made by white men. Most of our wars were fought and won predominately by white men. Most of the advances in medicine and science have been achieved by white men. Most of the great leaders, artists, thinkers, and philosophers in western history have been white men. And yet this is the one group most demonized — most hated for the sin of providing us with so much of what we value. A sane society would be finding ways to get this group more involved in things, given its incredible track record. Instead we go the other way.
Outside of communist countries, modern western societies are the only ones in the history of the world that go out of their way to identify the people most responsible for building and maintaining their societies — only to villainize and alienate those same people.
And we&#8217;re doing it more and more. This isn&#8217;t just happening in the federal government or in Maine. It&#8217;s also happening in the most populated city in the United States. Officials in New York have just proudly announced that they&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-jfk-airport-construction-sets-record-mwbe-participation-23-billion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded</a> more than $2 billion in contracts for the purposes of renovating JFK Airport. And all of that money has gone to so-called &#8220;MWBE&#8217;s,&#8221; which is short for &#8220;Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises.&#8221; 
As the governor&#8217;s <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-jfk-airport-construction-sets-record-mwbe-participation-23-billion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release reads</a>: &#8220;This is the largest participation of MWBE firms on any public-private partnership project in New York State history. &#8230; With today’s announcement JFK surpasses the LaGuardia Airport redevelopment, which set the previous New York State record for MWBE participation.&#8221;
In other words, no one wanted reparations. Even in New York, it wasn&#8217;t a popular idea. So the state government just decided to do it anyway by handing out money on the basis of race and gender. They&#8217;ve chosen airports as their preferred vehicle to launder this money, evidently.
If you watch the New York Port Authority&#8217;s press conference announcing this funding for the JFK renovation, you&#8217;ll see exactly what&#8217;s motivating these officials. It&#8217;s basically an hour of various New York officials, including a sitting member of Congress, celebrating the fact that they excluded white-owned businesses from receiving taxpayer funding. Here&#8217;s how it began:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 JFK Built By Minority" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KC3aJFI4hyc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is the head of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announcing — to applause — that JFK&#8217;s renovation involved as few white men as possible. He&#8217;s not proud of the quality of the renovation. He doesn&#8217;t talk about how the airport is going to be better as a result of this work. Instead, he&#8217;s just happy white people didn&#8217;t have a role in it. Never mind the fact that white people — white men, specifically — have pretty much single handedly built the entire aviation industry, beginning with inventing the airplane. Now we need to get them all out, for some reason.
And then he goes on to explain that the government did everything it could to ensure that non-white people secured the government contracts for JFK, by preparing specialized, segregated &#8220;boot camps&#8221; to help them along in the application process. So he&#8217;s acknowledging that this was not a remotely fair or merit-driven process at any point. It was the purest form of affirmative action. He&#8217;s not celebrating that these minority businesses earned the job; he&#8217;s celebrating that the government rigged the process.
This is illegal, obviously, and it gets worse. Here&#8217;s Congressman Gregory Meeks explaining why it was so important to discriminate against white male contractors:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Must Have Equity DEI" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y4xQ7JQGeTA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The congressman says it&#8217;s important for racial and gender discrimination (in the form of DEI) to be a part of everything New York does, but he doesn&#8217;t really say why. He gets some applause when he says it&#8217;s good for &#8220;business,&#8221; but he doesn&#8217;t elaborate on that point.
That&#8217;s probably because, as I&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imLMG7C6oF4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlined</a> before, it&#8217;s demonstrably false that DEI is good for business. The only time DEI is good for business is if you&#8217;re a non-white business and you&#8217;re looking to get a government payout. In that case, DEI is good for business. For everyone else, it&#8217;s a massive economic drain at a minimum. It&#8217;s probably also a safety risk.
Even if racial discrimination were somehow profitable, that still wouldn&#8217;t justify it. And it&#8217;s pretty remarkable that a sitting member of Congress would imply otherwise. Only a deep-seated hatred of white men would explain what we&#8217;re seeing here. As if there was any doubt about that, the next speaker at this press conference — a New York assemblymember named Alicia Hyndman — came right out and admitted that, yes, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 Important Zoom Meetings" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JrxnkQi-_sM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
So, the woman can&#8217;t figure out how Zoom works, apparently, but she&#8217;s in charge of renovating the airport because, with apologies to white people, the airport isn&#8217;t for them anymore. It&#8217;s for people who look like Alicia Hyndman now: &#8220;We knew it was for us. For us, by us, to make sure this community that we represent looks like us.&#8221;
To be clear, she&#8217;s talking about an airport. This is a public facility that isn&#8217;t &#8220;for&#8221; or &#8220;by&#8221; any racial group. And Alicia Hyndman is a public official. She supposedly represents a &#8220;community&#8221; that includes white people. But here she is, proudly declaring that the airport is &#8220;for&#8221; black people. And her &#8220;community&#8221; doesn&#8217;t include people who don&#8217;t &#8220;look like&#8221; her.
So white men don&#8217;t get to build airports anymore. The airports aren&#8217;t for them. Neither are construction jobs. You have to wonder what, if anything, these politicians want white men to do. Should they ever receive any funding from the government? Should they be allowed to compete for government contracts on a fair and equal playing field? Should would white men build, maintain, and run their own airport? I’d be quite happy to use that airport, personally. I think most people would be.
Really, though, everyone knows what’s happening here. Her goal, and the goal of her party, isn&#8217;t simply to erase white men from history. Their goal is to erase white men from the workforce, as punishment for doing everything so well, for so long. This isn&#8217;t a secret at this point. As conservatives spend all their time talking about college campuses, their enemies are being very methodical and explicit about what they&#8217;re doing — one airport renovation and construction job at a time.

A Georgia appellate court agreed on Wednesday to hear a challenge to the ruling that allowed Fulton County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fulton-county-prosecutors-have-another-recording-of-trump-pressuring-georgia-house-speaker-to-overturn-election-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fani Willis</a> to continue leading a 2020 election interference case against former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> and his allies despite her romance with a subordinate.
The Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia released a <a href="https://efast.gaappeals.us/download?filingId=f0b48054-798d-4781-8f95-d1f87666ab6d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brief order</a> that said the request from the defense seeking a review of a lower-court decision in March had been granted and noted the appellant may file a notice of appeal within 10 days.
At issue is Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee&#8217;s determination that the defendants failed to prove a conflict of interest existed due to a romance between Willis and her special prosecutor in the case, Nathan Wade. However, the judge raised concerns about the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/03/15/georgia-trump-fani-willis-wade-relationship-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;appearance of impropriety&#8221;</a> and only allowed Willis to press forward after Wade <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nathan-wade-steps-down-as-special-prosecutor-in-trump-georgia-case-following-judges-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned</a>. Her other option was to step down.
Trump and some of his co-defendants <a href="https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/daa8595470bc27ca/0f310db3-full.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> that Willis should be disqualified and that the case be dismissed, claiming the office romance flush with gifts and trips &#8220;created an appearance of impropriety in this case that cast a pall over these entire proceedings.&#8221; Willis then filed a motion insisting there was <a href="https://www.11alive.com/article/news/special-reports/ga-trump-investigation/fulton-county-da-court-appeals-decline-review-disqualification-ruling/85-43861f0b-9934-4ab7-8d21-591ab3332656" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;no basis&#8221;</a> to grant a review of the lower-court order.
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/05/08/georgia-appeals-court-fani-willis-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Trump and his co-defendants are expected to ask the appeals to stay the proceedings while the appeal plays out after McAfee said he would not pause the process. A trial date has not yet been set, but CNN reported Willis <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/21/politics/fani-willis-trump-georgia-trial/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hoped</a> to have it before the 2024 election.
Trump and 18 co-defendants pleaded not guilty to a bevy of charges in the Georgia election case, but four of them have since taken <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/fourth-trump-co-defendant-takes-plea-deal-in-georgia-election-interference-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plea deals</a>. As Trump seeks a second White House term, the former president has broadly denied wrongdoing across multiple cases.

Pro-Hamas activists at the George Washington University Encampment, who had previously <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/art/2024/05/03/power-putting-george-washington-kaffiyeh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defaced</a> the George Washington statue on the campus with a keffiyeh and a Palestinian flag, projected flames onto the American flag with incendiary messages condemning the United States.
Those messages included, “Gaza lights the spark that will set the empire ablaze,” “Long live the Student Intifada,” “Down with the Settler-State,” “Glory to the Martyrs of Palestine,” and one that quoted the notorious Gaza Health Ministry’s claims about the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza: “Stained with the Blood of 44,000 Palestinians.”

“For days, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department had resisted pressure to clear the demonstration and said peaceful protests were allowed,” NBC Washington <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-police-clear-out-george-washington-u-protest-encampment/3611269/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser finally ordered the D.C. police to clear the encampment — which had been initiated as far back as April 25 — early Wednesday morning after she had been asked to speak at a congressional hearing.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise noted, “It shouldn’t have taken the threat of a Congressional hearing for DC Mayor Bowser to finally allow DC Police to respond to George Washington University’s call for them to clear the anti-Semitic and unlawful encampments. It should’ve been done on Day 1.”

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) stated, “Following the Metropolitan Police Department finally clearing out the unlawful encampment on GW&#8217;s campus, I am very pleased to announce that the hearing with Mayor Bowser has been canceled. I had a good conversation with Mayor Bowser: I thanked her for finally clearing the trespassers off the GW Campus. It was unfortunate the situation at GW forced the Oversight Committee to act; however it was apparent that the DC police force was not going to do their job. Therefore, after meeting with GW leadership and touring the encampment, we decided to hold a public hearing to get answers as to why the Mayor would not uphold the law. I am pleased that the potential Oversight hearing led to swift action by Mayor Bowser and action by Mayor Bowser and MPD Chief Smith. We will continue to hold D.C. officials accountable to ensure our nation&#8217;s capital is safe for all.&#8221;

A House hearing that was set to feature D.C. Democratic Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/muriel-bowser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Muriel Bowser</a> testifying about the response to an anti-Israel protest encampment at George Washington University has been canceled after police made dozens of arrests at the site on Wednesday.
&#8220;Following the Metropolitan Police Department finally clearing out the unlawful encampment on GW’s campus, I am very pleased to announce that the hearing with Mayor Bowser has been canceled,&#8221; House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepJamesComer/status/1788193279416160690" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> just hours before the event had been scheduled to take place on Capitol Hill.
&#8220;I had a good conversation with Mayor Bowser. I thanked her for finally clearing the trespassers off the GW Campus. It was unfortunate the situation at GW forced the Oversight Committee to act; however it was apparent that the DC police force was not going to do their job,&#8221; Comer added.
Comer and other House Republicans visited George Washington University last week and <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/oversight-committee-republicans-dc-officials-must-take-action-against-pro-hamas-camp-and-restore-the-rule-of-law%EF%BF%BC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> on Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to clear out the encampment of protesters after D.C. police <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/04/26/dc-police-george-washington-university-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected a request</a> from university officials to crack down on the demonstration.
The hearing on Wednesday was <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/hearing/oversight-of-d-c-s-response-to-unlawful-activity-and-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meant to conduct oversight</a> on the city&#8217;s response to &#8220;unlawful activity and anti-Semitism,&#8221; but plans changed when police<a href="https://twitter.com/Joy7News/status/1788142267615613300" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> moved in</a> on the encampment in the early morning and made at least 33 arrests — with authorities <a href="https://apnews.com/article/campus-protests-george-washington-encampment-eac5c1cc396551bee1b110b48a94aefd">citing</a> a &#8220;gradual escalation in the volatility of the protest&#8221; on campus.
&#8220;After meeting with GW leadership and touring the encampment, we decided to hold a public hearing to get answers as to why the Mayor would not uphold the law,&#8221; Comer said. &#8220;I am pleased that the potential Oversight hearing led to swift action by Mayor Bowser and MPD Chief [Pamela] Smith.

The GOP-led House has engaged in a multi-committee effort to combat anti-Semitism on university campuses after protests in response to the Israel-Hamas war sprung up at colleges across the country. Last week, the chamber passed an anti-Semitism definition bill meant to guide enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws for educational programs.
In response to the hearing on the GW protest encampment being cancelled, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SteveScalise/status/1788199257524072933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> on X, &#8220;It shouldn’t have taken the threat of a Congressional hearing for DC Mayor Bowser to finally allow DC Police to respond to George Washington University’s call for them to clear the anti-Semitic and unlawful encampments.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virginia Foxx</a> (R-NC), chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, teed off on far-left activists with Code Pink on Wednesday who were harassing her while she was trying to use the elevator that only members of Congress are allowed on.
Code Pink has been on Capitol Hill all week harassing members of Congress over their support for Israel and their stand against the pro-Hamas protesters who took over college campuses late last month and earlier this month.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t even think about it, I&#8217;ve got things to do,&#8221; the 80-year-old congresswoman warned the activists as they approached her while she was waiting for the elevator.
The activists hounded her by drawing an equivalence between anti-Semitism and &#8220;anti-Islamophobia&#8221; — even though one is discriminatory and the other is anti-discriminatory.
One of the activists tried to get on the elevator with her.

&#8220;You&#8217;re not welcome on this elevator, it&#8217;s a members only,&#8221; Foxx said to the activist.
As the activist tried to talk over her, Foxx took control of the situation, shouting: &#8220;Members only! Off the elevator! I have work to do!&#8221;
When the protesters did not listen, Foxx got law enforcement&#8217;s attention: &#8220;Officer! Officer! Officer! Officer!&#8221;

Former Rep. Bakari Sellers (D-SC) made an appearance on Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View,&#8221; where he claimed that Daily Wire Editor Emeritus <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> and OutKick founder Clay Travis lacked the &#8220;intellect&#8221; to have honest discussions — and now Shapiro would like a word.
Joy Behar began the conversation, noting that ousted Fox News Tucker Carlson had accused Sellers of using his platform as a CNN political analyst to &#8220;monetize racism.&#8221; Sellers objected, claiming that Carlson was the one monetizing racism when he talked about the Great Replacement Theory.
&#8220;It&#8217;s rooted in white supremacy, and it&#8217;s fear. It&#8217;s grievance,&#8221; Sellers said, claiming that all it did was foment hate.
He went on to call out both Travis and Shapiro by name as host Whoopi Goldberg appeared to shake her head and laugh. &#8220;And the problem is that they have ads that play before and ads that play after, and you have these individuals — the Clay Travises of the world, the Ben Shapiros of the world, who don&#8217;t necessarily have the intellect to have honest discussions, but yet they are able to become millionaires because they&#8217;re actually just circulizing and promulgating this fear.&#8221;
Shapiro responded a short time later, posting on X, &#8220;Hey, @theview, would love to come on to discuss. It&#8217;ll be tough, but I&#8217;m ready to take on this extraordinary intellectual challenge.&#8221;

Wednesday marked the latest episode in the ongoing saga, as former cohost Meghan McCain had tried (but failed) several times to convince producers to invite Shapiro to join the show as a guest. Despite their steadfast refusal to speak to him directly, the cohosts appear only too happy to call him out from the safety of their table.
Travis also responded to Sellers&#8217; comments, saying that he too would be happy to step up to the table on the ABC midday talk show.

On Wednesday, the GOP-led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> quickly defeated a bid by Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) to remove Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) from his top perch.
Within an hour of Greene declaring that she was going through with her motion to vacate the chair — an announcement met by a <a href="https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1788322758058770553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wave of boos</a> in the chamber — members overwhelmingly voted to table the measure by a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024188" target="_blank" rel="noopener">359-43 tally</a>.
The measure was introduced in a privileged fashion, meaning leadership had two legislative days to act on it, similar to what Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) did last year to queue up a vote that led to Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s ouster as speaker.
Unlike what happened with McCarthy, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-ousted-from-speakership-after-democrats-side-with-matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lacked support</a> from across the aisle when he was forced out of the role, Johnson <a href="https://apnews.com/article/speaker-mike-johnson-marjorie-taylor-greene-motion-to-vacate-552169f3e831ab8fb3baacfdf76c2d82" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had the backing of Democrats</a> who said they would vote to table a motion to vacate the chair brought by Greene.
He also got a boost from former President Donald Trump, now the likely GOP nominee in the 2024 election, who stood with Johnson at Mar-a-Lago in April and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/12/politics/mike-johnson-trump-mar-a-lago/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the speaker was &#8220;doing a very good job.&#8221;
When the vote finally did take place, 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1788325269003960783" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> to table the motion from Greene. <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadPergram/status/1788334658830082475" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eleven Republicans</a> and 32 Democrats opposed it. Ten Republicans and 11 Democrats did not vote.

“I want to say that I appreciate the show of confidence for my colleagues to defeat this misguided effort. That is certainly what it was,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?535527-1/speaker-johnson-motion-vacate-failure&amp;live" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> after the vote.
Greene had been talking about using the motion to vacate against Johnson ever since <a href="https://apnews.com/article/speaker-johnson-motion-vacate-marjorie-taylor-greene-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">late March</a> when the House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-passes-massive-spending-bill-in-middle-of-the-night" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a $1.2 trillion spending package.
At least two other Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ), <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/19/politics/paul-gosar-mike-johnson-house-gop/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supported</a> Greene last month as she refused to relent on her campaign against Johnson.
Johnson and Greene met over the past <a href="https://apnews.com/article/marjorie-taylor-greene-speaker-johnson-trump-7bbe71b7fc2aef26de3036a354af0d13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">couple days</a> during which Greene made a series of what she said were &#8220;suggestions,&#8221; <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-privately-urges-greene-drop-push-oust-speaker/story?id=109990543&amp;cid=social_twitter_abcnp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including</a> defunding special counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s inquiries into Trump and no more financial aid for Ukraine.
Recent polling from Monmouth University <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4618204-just-1-in-5-want-johnson-replaced-as-speaker-survey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a> just one in five Americans wanted Johnson to be replaced as speaker.
Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112407712153390935" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to Truth Social on Wednesday, around the time of the vote on tabling Greene&#8217;s motion, complimenting Johnson, as well as Greene. He also called attention to the slim majority the GOP has in the House while pushing for unity.

Disgraced St. Louis Circuit Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kim-gardner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Gardner</a> is apparently missing in action as Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick has made multiple attempts to locate her to ask questions about an ongoing audit of her former office.
Gardner&#8217;s office has been <a href="https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/politics/where-is-kim-gardner-missouri-auditor-wants-know/63-7e00c73e-f430-4398-9471-6e6041245bcf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">under investigation</a> since 2021, when former Auditor Nicole Galloway was still in office. Fitzpatrick stepped into the role in 2023, and subpoenaed a number of records from Gardner&#8217;s office – but the office reportedly only delivered some of the requested documents.
Fitzpatrick took Gardner to court in order to get the remaining information, but instead of cooperating with the investigation, she resigned from office in May of 2023. In the months since, Fitzpatrick has attempted to reach Gardner — either directly or through her attorneys — and has had no luck.
&#8220;This is a pattern of behavior with Kim Gardner, who hasn’t shown a willingness to be transparent or accountable,&#8221; Fitzpatrick said in a <a href="https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/auditors-cant-locate-former-st-louis-circuit-attorney-to-complete-state-audit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news release</a> on Monday. &#8220;Without question, she knows our audit is ongoing and that we want to speak with her about her time in office, but she has made no effort to comply with our requests or respond to our inquiries.&#8221;
Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe (R-MO) — who is currently running for governor — called out the former circuit attorney via X: &#8220;Where in the world is Kim Gardner? Dodging @FitzpatrickMO, apparently. Typical behavior for someone who refused to do her job.&#8221;

&#8220;As I said when she abruptly resigned from office to avoid complying with a subpoena we were prepared to petition the court to enforce, Kim Gardner will be held accountable and we will do everything we can to make sure she answers for her time as Circuit Attorney,&#8221; Fitzpatrick said. &#8220;Right now her location is unknown and all efforts to reach out to her have been unsuccessful. However, we will do everything we can to locate her and get the answers to our inquiries that only she can provide and that taxpayers deserve.&#8221;

Fitzpatrick has said that he plans to file his report with or without Gardner&#8217;s cooperation, but he has continued to try to reach her because he believes the citizens of Missouri deserve the clarification that she could potentially provide.
&#8220;I hope she will reconsider her decision to ignore the responsibility she has to cooperate with our audit process and come forward to provide answers to us and to the people of St. Louis,&#8221; Fitzpatrick said — and he asked anyone who might know how to reach Gardner to call the State Auditor&#8217;s Whistleblower Hotline at 800-347-8597 or email his office at moaudit@auditor.mo.gov.

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) said that Democrats are trying to interfere in the upcoming presidential election because they are terrified at the prospect of former President Donald Trump regaining the White House.
Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast this week with co-host Ben Ferguson.
Speaking of the criminal trial that Trump faces in New York State over an alleged hush money payment that he made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, Cruz said: &#8220;This is happening because Democrats are terrified that the American people are going to vote for Donald Trump in November. And they are trying to interfere with the election. They&#8217;re trying to stop the election. They&#8217;re trying to do everything they can to stop Trump from being reelected.&#8221;
&#8220;Everything Biden&#8217;s touched has gone to crap. It&#8217;s been a train wreck,&#8221; Cruz added. &#8220;The policy agenda has been terrible. We&#8217;ve seen inflation out of control, crime out of control, the border out of control. We&#8217;ve seen relentless partisans, an attack on our constitutional rights, an attack on free speech and religious liberty, on the Second Amendment. And that&#8217;s not to mention the utter chaos and disaster foreign policy and national security is, whether it&#8217;s the Afghanistan debacle, or Ukraine, or the horrors unfolding in Israel. Everything Joe Biden has touched has gone to crap.&#8221;
He said that because Biden&#8217;s record was so terrible, Democrats don&#8217;t want to talk about it and would rather use this trial to smear Trump.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jon-lovitz-has-just-two-words-for-people-mad-at-him-for-supporting-israel">Jon Lovitz</a> slammed “self-loathing Jew” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Democrats for their lack of support for Israel and failure to quell growing anti-Semitism across the country.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jon-lovitz-says-dems-antisemitic-actions-trump-done-israel-president">Fox News</a>, the 66-year-old actor/comedian said people are free to vote for anyone they want to but added, &#8220;If you’re Jewish – they passed a bill about <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/05/08/business/facebook-oversight-board-set-to-rule-on-from-the-river-to-the-sea-ban/">condemning anti-Semitism,</a> which is condemning hate and violence toward Jewish people. 70 Democrats voted against it.”
“And you’ve got Chuck Schumer, who’s Jewish, saying we should have elections in Israel now,” Lovitz said. “And the reason President [Donald] Trump and other people got mad is you’re not supposed to interfere – ironically, Trump – interfere in another country’s elections and in the middle of a war!” 
“And Bernie Sanders, he’s always been, you know … I said it before, and I’ll say it again, he’s a self-loathing Jew,” he added. “And there’s a lot of them. ‘Why do you say that?’ I go, well, it’s clear as a bell, he’s not for Israel [saying] ‘They have to stop this war.’”

“Why isn’t he condemning Hamas for starting it?” Lovitz continued. “What about that? And whatever you think of Trump, the fact is that he’s done more for Israel than any president in the history of this country.”
When pressed about comments the former president made about Jewish voters still voting for Democrats despite the party’s pivot on Israel, the “Wedding Singer” star defended Trump whose actions, he said, show he’s not anti-Semitic.
“And the weird thing about Trump is he’s very different in person than he is on television,” Lovitz said. “But if you want to say, ‘Well, he’s anti-Semitic,’ I go, well, I don’t know, his daughter – he’s crazy about Ivanka [Trump]– converted to Judaism, married a Jewish guy, his grandchildren are Jewish.”
“There’s a beach club in Palm Beach. And they don’t let Jews in that club. They’re banned. And right next door to that beach club is Mar-a-Lago’s beach club and they let in Jews,” he added. “So which of those clubs are anti-Semitic, the one that bans Jews or the ones that [let] them in?”
“Well? They love Trump in Israel, I tell you that,” Lovitz continued. “Because he defended them … People say Trump’s anti-Semitic. And then I would say he’s not by his actions and the Democrats, by their actions, are overall. They’re certainly not for Israel.”
“The Benchwarmers” star said, as a Jewish person, he’s been a lifelong Democrat, but after the party’s lack of support for Israel he no longer identifies with them.
“Jewish people for years, including myself, have been, you know, mostly liberal and Democrats,” Lovitz said. “And so, what do you do when the party that you’ve been a part of all your life is against you?” 
“So then they go, ‘No, they’re not.’ Really? Well, they just had a vote about it,” he added. “Not condemning hate towards you. And 70 of them voted against it … The Democratic Party, they’re not what they used to be.”

Israeli media reported Wednesday night that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas</a> terrorists fired rockets at a pier that the U.S. Military is constructing off the coast of Gaza.
Israel&#8217;s Channel 13 reported that &#8220;in the morning and in the afternoon, missiles were launched towards the area where the Americans are currently building the seaport.&#8221;
The attack from Hamas did not cause any casualties or damage, but represented yet another example of the Islamic terrorist organization preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.

The attack comes after Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin claimed last week that he saw no indication that the terrorist group was going to attack the U.S. forces building the pier.

“I don’t discuss intelligence information at the podium, but I don’t see any indications currently that there is an active intent to do that,” he said, adding: “This is a combat zone, and a number of things can happen.”
A Pentagon official said late on Wednesday that the pier was now finished being constructed but had not been moved into position.
“As of today [Wednesday], the construction of the two portions of the [Joint Logistics Over-the Shore] JLOTS – the floating pier and the Trident pier – are complete and awaiting final movement offshore,” the official said. “There are still forecasted high winds and high sea swells, which are causing unsafe conditions for the JLOTS components to be moved.”

A majority of Americans are in favor of several different policies aimed at stopping <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigration</a>, including building a wall on the southern border, deporting more illegal immigrants, and penalizing the businesses that hire them, a recent poll found.
The <a href="https://globalaffairs.org/research/public-opinion-survey/democrats-and-republicans-starkly-divided-immigration-policy?utm_source=media&amp;utm_campaign=rpt&amp;utm_medium=TheHill">public opinion survey</a>, conducted by Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Ipsos in early April, found a significant partisan divide over immigration policy, though a majority believe that a number of measures should be taken to curtail illegal immigration.
A slim majority of respondents, 54 percent, said that they favor continuing construction of the border wall. The question had the most pronounced partisan split, with 87 percent of Republicans and just 28 percent of Democrats supporting the policy.
A full 65 percent of all respondents said that we should increase the number of deportations, with 89 percent of Republicans, 66 percent of independents, and 46 percent of Democrats in agreement. Another 66 percent of all respondents said that we should raise penalties against businesses that hire illegal workers. Republicans were widely favorable of the move at 85 percent, with Democrats at 48 percent, and Independents at 67 percent.
The poll results come as America is facing a crisis on the southern border of unprecedented magnitude. Nearly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nearly-130k-illegal-immigrants-apprehended-on-southern-border-in-april">130,000 illegal immigrant apprehensions</a> were recorded on the southern border last month alone. Officials have recorded over 9.5 million <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters">nationwide encounters</a> and 1.7 million <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-may-have-lost-track-millions-of-migrants-crossing-southern-border-congressional-report">estimated illegal immigrant gotaways</a> under the Democratic incumbent in total, a striking increase from the 445,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 under Trump.

This public opinion survey is just the latest in a growing series of polls that could spell trouble for President Joe Biden as we get closer to the 2024 presidential election as immigration has been propelled to the forefront of the national conversation. One recent poll found that just <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/voters-say-immigration-is-top-issue-facing-country-biden-faces-widespread-disapproval-on-immigration">36 percent</a> of voters approve of Biden&#8217;s performance on immigration, making it his lowest issue-specific approval rating for four consecutive months.
Even voters in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-colorado-voters-say-immigration-is-the-top-issue-as-2024-election-draws-closer">Colorado</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-massachusetts-voters-say-immigration-is-the-top-issue-facing-the-state">Massachusetts</a>, two firmly Democratic states, found that voters believe immigration is the biggest issue facing their states. Another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-americans-trust-trump-over-biden-to-handle-economy-immigration-crime">survey</a> from ABC/Ipsos found that Americans trust former President Donald Trump to handle immigration more than they trust Biden by a full 17 point margin.

Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lindsey-graham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lindsey Graham</a> (R-S.C.) gave Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin an earful during a Wednesday hearing, demanding that he answer for reports that the United States had withheld ammunition that was supposed to be sent to Israel.
The shipment was reportedly delayed as U.S. officials — among them President Joe Biden — expressed concern over Israel&#8217;s decision to strike Rafah in an effort to root out the last remaining stronghold of the Hamas terror network. Graham pressed Austin &#8212; and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Charles Q. Brown Jr. — to answer for that, drawing a comparison to the atomic bombs that ultimately brought about the end of World War II.

&#8220;Would you have supported dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? General Brown, to end World War II?&#8221; Graham asked.
&#8220;Well, Senator, I think it is based on the situation —&#8221; Brown replied.
&#8220;Well, we know I mean, it happened, we know. I’m not asking, they did it. Do you think that was disproportionate?&#8221; Graham tried again. &#8220;Do you, in hindsight, do you think that was the right decision for America to drop two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities in question?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I’ll tell you, it stopped the world war,&#8221; Brown said.
&#8220;Okay. Well, so. Do you agree, General Austin? If you’d been around, would you say, drop them?&#8221; Graham continued.

&#8220;I agree with the Chairman here,&#8221; Austin said.
&#8220;I mean, if you were, if we go back in time says, hey, we got two atomic bombs, should we drop them? What would you say?&#8221; Graham clarified his question.
&#8220;Well, you know, I think the leadership was interested in curtailing —&#8221; Austin tried to explain further, but Graham pressed on.
&#8220;What’s Israel interested in? Do you believe Iran really wants to kill all the Jews if they could? The Iranian regime. Do you believe Hamas is serious when they say we’ll keep doing it over and over again? Do you agree that they will if they can?&#8221; the South Carolina senator asked.
Austin&#8217;s reply was simple: &#8220;I do.&#8221;
&#8220;Okay. Alright. Do you believe that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization also bent on the destruction of the Jewish state?&#8221; Graham asked.
&#8220;Hezbollah is a terrorist organization,&#8221; Austin agreed.
&#8220;Okay, so Israel’s been hit in the last few weeks by Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas dedicated to their destruction. And you’re telling me you’re going to tell them how to fight the war?&#8221; Graham asked in apparent disbelief. &#8220;And what they can and can’t use when everybody around them wants to kill all the Jews. And you’re telling me that if we withhold weapons in this fight — the existential fight for the life of the Jewish state — it won’t send the wrong signal? &#8230; If we stop weapons necessary to destroy the enemies of the State of Israel at a time of great peril, we will pay a price. This is obscene. It is absurd. Give Israel what they need to fight the war. They can’t afford to lose. This is Hiroshima and Nagasaki on steroids.&#8221;

The following is a transcript excerpt from Andrew Klavan’s conversation with Mary Harrington on what reclaiming “feminism” could look like. In this section, Harrington explains her advocation for embracing certain feminist values without abandoning the entire ideology. She believes in upholding “the positives which came out of women’s emancipation” and that women should not “lose the privilege of being considered a person.” You can <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/the-andrew-klavan-show/240417">listen to</a> or <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/0417interview">watch</a> the full podcast episode on DailyWire+.
Start time: 1:06
Andrew Klavan: Just the other day, I got into a debate with my son Spencer. He had written a piece for Fairer Disputations — where you [Mary] sometimes appear — <a href="https://fairerdisputations.org/after-chivalry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">about chivalry</a>, and I described it, I described Fairer Disputations, as women who are smart enough to realize that feminism has gone bad but refuse to get rid of the name “feminist.” And he rebuked me. He said that I was allowing the Left to co-opt the term “feminism,” and that since I care about the rights of women, I myself am a feminist. But who&#8217;s right there? I mean, I feel that feminism has been a failure, and maybe we should just say that. But does he have a point?
Mary Harrington: I&#8217;m going to be ecumenical on this. I&#8217;m going to say you&#8217;re both right. Spencer’s right in the sense that there is more than one feminism, and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s self-evident that we have to hand feminism to the Left. But I think you&#8217;re right in the sense that, particularly in the United States — and I do think this is especially pronounced in the United States, for reasons that I can bore you with for hours if you let me — but it&#8217;s especially pronounced in the United States that a certain subset of feminism has become so dominant that everybody on the Right thinks that&#8217;s just the entirety of the movement. And they don&#8217;t get the history because it&#8217;s been memory hold by people who don&#8217;t like us. 
And so what America, in particular, understands about feminism is a very limited, a very narrow, and a very aggressively liberal, aggressively disembodied, and aggressively, I would argue, elite bourgeois version understanding of the movement, which is hostile to a great many conservative aims and actively sets out to attack a great many conservative keystone positions. So, I mean, from an American perspective, I&#8217;d say you&#8217;re right, but from a more historical, more nuanced, more international perspective, I would say Spencer has a point as well. 
I can elaborate. Historically, the women&#8217;s movement is internally very fractious. You know, we&#8217;ve always argued amongst ourselves about what it means. My framing for why that is is that I think we need to throw the progress story out of the window. I think the progressivist narrative that says we&#8217;re going from the bad past to the good future and that this can continue indefinitely and this always means more freedom and it always means more stuff and it always was means more Leftism, I think that&#8217;s B.S., if you forgive me. It’s simply simply false.
We&#8217;re obviously reaching a point now with a lot of these liberatory movements where we&#8217;re really scraping the barrel; we’re reaching diminishing returns. And I would say that for all but a very elite subset of women, the liberal feminist narrative is very obviously at that point now. It&#8217;s actively degrading life for all but the wealthiest women. And again, from an American perspective, if I thought that was all of feminism — as I think you&#8217;d be forgiven for thinking if you were an American conservative, you know — I would absolutely want to chuck it out of the window and say, “A plague on all of your houses. Be gone.” You know, let&#8217;s start again with a fresh slate. 
When I stuck “reactionary feminist” in my Twitter bio, it was kind of as a joke. It was the end of a long-running Twitter argument, all through Twitter direct message with a friend, about whether or not post-liberal meant anything. We argued about this for months, and eventually he said, “No, no, you should use reactionary.” And I said, “No, no, post-liberal is useful.” And I&#8217;m not going to bore you with the details, but, in the end, I conceded the point. I was like, ok, no, I buy “reactionary.” It&#8217;s more punk. Ok, fine. Let&#8217;s get rid of “post-liberal”; let’s have “reactionary” instead. It’s fight-ier. 
So I changed my Twitter bio just to see how long it would take him to notice. It took about three days, I think. But in the meantime, a bunch of other people noticed, including First Things who said, “Would you like to write something for First Things about what you mean? This is an interesting term.” And then I had to figure out what I meant. And now it&#8217;s a book. So that’s kind of the origin story. It literally started as a meme, which then became a thing. And I like it because it&#8217;s a signal scrambler. It poses the question, which really you [Klavan] started with, which is to say, you know: Do you have to believe in progress if you want to be a feminist? Can you care about the interests of women without signing up to the whole of the rest of that baggage train? And it&#8217;s a long baggage train now — as you spend every week discussing, as does The Daily Wire is very fond of going into in some depth. It’s a long baggage train, and there&#8217;s a lot of stuff there that you might or might not be signed up to. There&#8217;s a great deal of it that I&#8217;m not signed up to.
But I still think that men and women are fundamentally different in some ways, which you can&#8217;t just, you know, innovate away and that you can&#8217;t just pretend are not true and that we all irreducibly, you know, we&#8217;re equal. We&#8217;re equal in dignity and our capacity for excellence; however, there are some irreducible differences, particularly where it comes to sex, reproductive roles, and those things have political consequences. You know, at scale, they matter politically and they still matter, even though we live pretty comfortable, materially frictionless lives, you know, as denizens of the high-tech developed first world.
There are still some material differences. I mean, particularly when you have kids, the rubber hits the road and, you know, men can’t breastfeed; men can’t gestate, and there&#8217;s a whole bunch of subtler differences as well. Those things still matter. You know, if we&#8217;re not going to call giving a stuff about that and wanting to talk about it and wanting to have a politics which engages with that, if we&#8217;re going to call it “feminism,” what are we going to call it? Because it&#8217;s a thing, right?
So I say, why shouldn&#8217;t we? Let&#8217;s just take the word back, you know? Why should they have it?

According to the letter, the signees are &#8220;average students,&#8221; who say that those &#8220;who demonize us under the cloak of anti-Zionism forced us into our activism and forced us to publicly defend our Jewish identities.&#8221;
The letter expressed the view that the Jewish people have a &#8220;right to self-determination in our historic homeland as a fundamental tenet of our Jewish identity&#8221; and pushed back on claims that Judaism can be &#8220;separated&#8221; from Israel.
Citing reports of harassment, the letter said the &#8220;evil irony of today’s antisemitism is a twisted reversal of our Holocaust legacy; protestors on campus have dehumanized us, imposing upon us the characterization of the &#8216;white colonizer.'&#8221;
The Jewish students said they are being &#8220;targeted for our belief that Israel, our ancestral and religious homeland, has a right to exist.&#8221; They also said the word &#8220;Zionist&#8221; is being misused as a slur that is &#8220;synonymous with racist, oppressive, or genocidal.&#8221;
Love of Israel &#8220;does not necessitate blind political conformity,&#8221; the letter said, adding that such affection pushes many of the Jewish students to object when the Israeli government acts in ways they find &#8220;problematic&#8221; — such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s judicial reform push.

The latest conflict in the Gaza Strip began more than six months ago after the deadly Hamas attack on Israel in October. Anti-Israel protests at colleges nationwide have taken root since that time. Columbia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-calls-on-columbia-board-to-remove-president-after-main-graduation-gets-cancelled" target="_blank" rel="noopener">canceled</a> its main graduation ceremony after a crackdown on protesters who sought divestment from Israel.
Jewish students wrote in the letter that the last half year showed them a &#8220;large and vocal population of the Columbia community does not understand the meaning of Zionism, and subsequently does not understand the essence of the Jewish People.&#8221;
The letter said concerns about anti-Semitism &#8220;have been brushed off and invalided,&#8221; and so the Jewish students listed several examples in order to &#8220;remind&#8221; the community of their strife, including when a protest leader — who has since been <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/26/nyregion/columbia-student-protest-zionism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kicked</a> from campus — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/zionists-dont-deserve-to-live-meet-the-leader-of-columbia-universitys-anti-israel-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;Zionists don&#8217;t deserve to live.&#8221;
In concluding the letter, the Jewish students said, &#8220;One thing is for sure. We will not stop standing up for ourselves. We are proud to be Jews, and we are proud to be Zionists.&#8221; The Jewish students added that they hope the community will join them in an effort to &#8220;repair our campus.&#8221;

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> is predicted to win a decisive victory in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, according to a new poll.
Trump leads President Joe Biden by four points among Pennsylvania voters, Trump with 49% support and Biden with 45%, according to the latest <a href="https://www.aarp.org/content/dam/aarp/research/topics/voter-opinion-research/politics/pennsylvania-older-voter-survey-2024-report.doi.10.26419-2fres.00813.001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> from the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).
Trump&#8217;s lead is even stronger among voters 50 and up, who made up more than half of the state&#8217;s voters in 2020, according to AARP Pennsylvania. The former president leads the incumbent 52% to 42%, the poll found.
“Pennsylvania voters over age 50 are a critical voting bloc that all candidates are competing for in this election,” <a href="https://states.aarp.org/pennsylvania/new-aarp-pennsylvania-poll-voters-50-could-tip-the-scales-in-2024#:~:text=“Pennsylvanians%20of%20all%20political%20stripes,Pennsylvanians%20ages%2050%2Dplus.”" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Bill Johnston Walsh, state director of AARP Pennsylvania.
“Pennsylvanians of all political stripes want leaders to protect Social Security and provide support for family caregivers. If candidates want to win, they should pay attention to the issues that matter to Pennsylvanians ages 50-plus,” Walsh said.
Large majorities of older Pennsylvania voters say candidates’ positions on Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drugs are important to their decisions. About 80% of voters 50 and up say a candidate&#8217;s position on Social Security is important.

The former president also holds a strong 10-point lead among independents in Pennsylvania, according to the poll.
Other polls also show Trump with an edge over Biden in the Keystone State. Trump leads in the state by about two points, <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/pennsylvania/trump-vs-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to RealClearPolitics&#8217; average of polls.
A Trump win in Pennsylvania would narrow Biden&#8217;s path to victory considerably.
In 2020, Trump lost Pennsylvania to Biden by just over 80,000 votes out of more than 6.8 million ballots. In 2016, he won the state, the first time Republicans had won Pennsylvania in a presidential election since 1988.
The former president also lost a slew of other battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. However, these swing states appear to favor Trump so far, although in some cases, his edge is within the margin of error.
Nationally, Trump leads Biden by just over a point, <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to RealClearPolitics&#8217; average of polls.
With the election just six months away, both Trump and Biden have ramped up their campaign strategies, with Democrats leaning into the abortion issue and Republicans doubling down on their attacks on the economy under Biden.
Trump is battling several court cases, one of which has kept him stuck in a Manhattan courtroom all day in recent weeks. He has scheduled rallies and other campaign events in the evenings, on weekends, and on Wednesdays when the court is not usually in session.

There’s no predicting what kind of cases will come before the Honorable Judge Walsh, but for fans of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/judged-by-matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JUDGED</a>,” it’s guaranteed that they’ll be absolutely hilarious. Because as the wise judge likes to say, if you don’t like it, there’s something wrong with you.
This week included family members of both the human and feline variety, which is made all the more exciting for anyone who knows how Walsh feels about cats. An animal presented on evidence in the courtroom? Yes, it’s just another day for the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-episode-6-delinquent-daughters-cat-custody-battles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JUDGED by Matt Walsh</a>” audience.
First up, April Lee is suing her daughter for $1,000 for allegedly borrowing her car and returning it damaged. 
“Suing your own daughter is an interesting parenting strategy,” Judge Walsh says by way of greeting. “I&#8217;ve heard of putting them in timeouts, taking away privileges. I&#8217;ve never considered litigation against my kids. So why are we here? Why has it come to that?”
Lee said she caught her daughter taking the car without permission and claimed she crashed it into a carport, which resulted in damage. “We need to teach her some responsibility,” she tells the judge.
The plaintiff showed photos of the car before it was damaged, including images of herself posing with the vehicle to prove how happy she was to have the car. Judge Walsh asked if she also had a picture of herself looking sad next to the dented car, which inspired the courtroom to erupt into laughter.
“Nothing that’s happening here is fine,” the judge said. “I&#8217;m trying to remind you, this is a court of law, and there&#8217;s nothing that we do here for a laugh.”
When Walsh asked Lee if her daughter had taken anything else, the plaintiff said her daughter was responsible for a stolen outfit and machete, because someone else had taken them out of the car when she was using it without permission.
The defendant Brianna Carrington insisted she didn’t take the car on the occasion in question, though she admitted to borrowing it in the past.
The two women argued back and forth over when and how Carrington used the car, which Walsh attempted to unravel. Carrington suggested that her stepfather took the car because he didn’t want to be “cussed out” by Lee. 
Walsh reminds Lee that if the defendant had to use alternate transportation such as Uber to get to her mom’s house and back home, it doesn’t make sense that she would then steal the car to go work on the Las Vegas strip. But Lee insisted that her daughter admitting to using the car seven times before meant she likely did an eighth time as well.
“Miss, Carrington…. Do you know what the fifth commandment is? It’s honor thy father and mother,” Judge Walsh begins. “Miss Lee, do you know what the 11th commandment might have been if there was one? It might have been, ‘Don&#8217;t sue your child on a TV court show.’ You would be in violation of that commandment.”
Ultimately, the judge delivers a wise and fair verdict which you can see by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-episode-6-delinquent-daughters-cat-custody-battles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tuning into episode 6</a> of “JUDGED by Matt Walsh.” 
The next case on the docket deals with the care and feeding of a cat.
Taylor Mae is suing her friend Taylor Spicer for $2,500 to recoup money spent taking care of that friend&#8217;s cat. She said the defendant hasn’t paid for food, kitty litter, or anything since she began taking care of the animal for “a couple of years.”
Mae said she had multiple conversations with her friend after taking the cat in, but didn’t bring up the burden of caring for the pet while the defendant’s family was ill because she didn’t want to be “confrontational.”
“You don&#8217;t like being confrontational with your friends, so instead, you sue them in court?” Judge Walsh confirms.
“Yes, Your Honor,” Mae replies with a laugh.
The plaintiff said her friend finally came and picked up the cat after three years but never paid her for anything she purchased during that time to help care for the animal. Next, Mae and the defendant got into an argument over the cat’s name, which Mae says is Pepsi and Spicer says is Midnight. Their argument goes back and forth until Judge Walsh bangs the gavel.
Judge Walsh next addresses the defendant. 
“Now, Miss Spicer, what I&#8217;m hearing is that you are a negligent cat owner who abandoned your cat for years. And then came back into the picture like the deadbeat dad who disappears, who leaves to go to the store and doesn&#8217;t come back till the kids have graduated high school,” he begins, prompting Spicer to insist there’s “more to the story.”
She explained how she gave the cat to Mae while she cared for her ailing grandparents, and then wasn’t “in a stable place” to take the cat back after they both passed away.
“Why do you need to be stable to have cats? I thought cats were for unstable people. The majority of women who have cats are unstable,” Judge Walsh said.
“That’s true,” Spicer replied.
After some more background to the story is established, the judge tells the courtroom that the cat is present. “I do not normally allow wild beasts in my courtroom. But in this case, I think certainly one thing that will help in my deliberations is to find out who the cat prefers,” Walsh explained. 
Brief chaos ensues as the cat runs all over the courtroom before the bailiff picks it up. “I think he likes me,” the bailiff observes as he cradles the animal. 
“Well that settles it, the bailiff gets the cat,” Judge Walsh says.
“This has made a mockery of this fake courtroom,” he adds of letting the animal join proceedings in the first place.
Following deliberations, Judge Walsh says, “This has been an adventure. The bailiff is now covered in cat piss. Miss Mae, Miss Spicer, you have come to me with a dispute over a cat. You both have claimed custody of the cat. You both have claimed the right to name the cat. I&#8217;ve deliberated over this, extensively, for many long seconds, and I have come to a conclusion now.”
Tune in to the latest episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-episode-6-delinquent-daughters-cat-custody-battles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JUDGED</a>” to hear the verdict and keep checking back every week for exciting new cases, premiering Tuesdays exclusively on DailyWire+.

Netflix has edited out a viral moment from the Tom Brady roast when <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kim-kardashian">Kim Kardashian</a> was drowned out by boos after she took the stage and tried to talk.
During the streaming site’s “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady,” the 43-year-old reality TV star was mercilessly booed after she took to the podium and was unable to start her bit about comedian Kevin Hart until the boos finally subsided in the live-stream that aired on Sunday.
A source close to the production of the roast admitted only the boos were edited and nothing else, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/kim-kardashian-booed-edited-out-tom-brady-roast-1235893074/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the edited version, Kardashian takes the stage and before the boos can be heard, the footage is cut and then picked up when the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star is finally able to start her joke.
However, in the part that viewers originally saw on Sunday, <a href="https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/1787288243957887110">Kardashian</a> was initially greeted with applause — but that was quickly drowned out by loud boos, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-gets-mercilessly-booed-at-tom-brady-roast">reported</a>.
“Thank you,” Kardashian replied to the applause then attempted to roast Brady, but once the boos got so loud and drowned her out, she only laughed and said, “All right, all right, all right.”

One of the comedians attending the event, Kevin Hart, could be overheard off camera reacting to the boos and said, “Whoa, whoa.”
Once the boos died down thanks to Hart, the reality star was finally able to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/kim-kardashian-booed-tom-brady-roast-1235890710/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">start her jokes</a>, per The Hollywood Reporter.
“I know there were some rumors that we were [dating], and I’d never say if we did or not,” Kardashian joked about Brady. “I’d just release a tape.”
“But I do know it would never work out,” she added, noting Brady’s “high cheekbones” and “silky hair. You remind me too much of my stepdad [Caitlyn Jenner] now.”

“Honestly, it’s hard for me to watch people roast you. But I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players,” Kardashian continued, referencing her late-father Robert Kardashian, who was on O.J. Simpson’s murder trial defense team.
One of the comedians, <a href="https://x.com/_MLFootball/status/1787451691207377031">Tony Hinchcliffe</a>, took a jab at the reality star and those cracks were not edited out of the new version of the Brady roast.
“She’s [Kardashian] had a lot of Black men celebrating her end-zone,” Hinchcliffe said. “Kim, word of advice, close your legs. You have more public beef than Kendrick [Lamar] and Drake.”

The cast of Adam Carolla’s upcoming animated sitcom “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mr-birchum">Mr. Birchum</a>” hit the red carpet last night for the series premiere at Academy LA in Los Angeles. Besides the star-studded cast, there were also quite a few VIP guests in attendance for what’s shaping up to be the most hilarious, unapologetic comedy of the year.
Carolla voices Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense teacher navigating Teddy Roosevelt Junior High with his family — Wendi (Megyn Kelly), Eddie (Kyle Dunnigan), and stepdaughter Jeanie (Brett Cooper). Partnering with his friend Gage (Alonzo Bodden), Mr. Birchum faces off against a progressive poster child for change, the fanatical social justice warrior, Karponzi (Tyler Fischer).

“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” Boreing previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dailywire-announces-adult-animated-comedy-series-mr-birchum-created-by-adam-carolla">said</a> of the series.
“Of course Hollywood wouldn’t make &#8216;Birchum&#8217; today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.  We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends.”
This is DailyWire+’s first animated comedy. It’s produced by David Coleman for Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier for Bonfire Legend, with Ben Shapiro executive producing along with Boreing and Robinson.
“Mr. Birchum” premieres Sunday, May 12, exclusively on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dailywire">DailyWire+</a>.
