Added: Jan 10, 2024

Racial Polarization and Voter Turnout

Shapiro explains that Biden's visit to the historically black church is part of a strategy to increase black voter turnout in the upcoming election. He emphasizes the significance of black voter turnout in past elections and how it has influenced the outcome. Shapiro also highlights Biden's use of racial polarization as a tactic to mobilize minority voters, drawing parallels to similar strategies used in previous elections.

Biden's Rhetoric and Political Playbook

Shapiro criticizes Biden's rhetoric, pointing out that he is using fear-mongering and divisive language to appeal to black voters. He discusses Biden's past statements, including his 2012 claim that Mitt Romney would "put black Americans in chains," and how Biden is now employing similar tactics in the current political climate. Shapiro also highlights Biden's mental and physical decline, suggesting that he is not the same as he was in 2012.

Linking White Supremacy and January 6th

Shapiro analyzes Biden's speech at Emanuel AME Church, where he connects the Charleston massacre and the evils of white supremacy to the events of January 6th. He criticizes Biden for attempting to link these events and for using them as a political tool to rally support. Shapiro argues that Biden's narrative about white supremacy being a widespread ideology in the United States is unfounded and points to poll data that contradicts this claim.

Costs of DEI and Anti-Semitism

Shapiro discusses the costs of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, citing the example of the University of Michigan, where payroll costs for DEI staff exceed $30 million annually. He also highlights the intersection of DEI and anti-Semitism, explaining how the zero-sum view promoted by DEI can lead to anti-Semitic beliefs and attitudes.

Controversy Surrounding the Secretary of Defense

Shapiro continues by addressing the controversy surrounding the Secretary of Defense, who went missing for several days. He questions why the Secretary still has a job after being absent for an extended period. He expresses his concern over the lack of accountability and transparency in the government, particularly in a position as crucial as the Secretary of Defense.

Ongoing Situation at the Southern Border

Shapiro then shifts his focus to the ongoing situation at the southern border. He highlights the significant increase in illegal immigration under the Biden administration, citing statistics and reports that indicate a surge in border crossings. He criticizes the administration's handling of the border crisis, pointing out the impact it has on national security and the influx of drugs, particularly fentanyl, into the country.

Allegations Against the District Attorney in Georgia

The podcast also delves into the allegations against the district attorney in Georgia, Fanny Willis. Shapiro discusses the improper hiring of an alleged romantic partner to prosecute Donald Trump, as well as the misuse of public funds for personal vacations. He emphasizes the need for transparency and ethical conduct in public office, expressing concern over the potential conflict of interest and lack of independent judgment in the case.

Political Climate Within the Democratic Party

The podcast also delves into the political climate within the Democratic party, with Shapiro discussing the influence of radical elements and the challenges they present to the party's leadership. He criticizes the party's response to radical protesters and their reluctance to address issues such as support for Hamas and anti-Semitic incidents, highlighting the impact on public safety and national security.
