BEN SHAPIRO: "Every argument that the DSA makes about Israel is an argument they actually make about America." "When they say that Israel is a settler-colonialist state, what they mean is that the West is a settler-colonialist regime. America is a settler-colonialist state by the same exact argument." "When they suggest that Israel committed a genocide in Gaza, they will say the same thing about America. America genocided the Native Americans; America is responsible for all of the genocides happening all over the world." "There's a thing happening 8,000 miles away in a way different from what they are saying is happening over there—but it's a litmus test, because if you are willing to say the false thing over and over and over, then this gives you moral credibility points with the left that truly despises the West. This is the distinguishing factor of the DSA." "When normies look at them and say, 'Man, these people just hate capitalism,' understand it's not just that they hate capitalism—they despise America." @benshapiro

“The DSA is an anti-American, anti-Western organization. That is what they are at their essence.” @benshapiro breaks down why the Democratic Party is “ingesting this stuff wholesale” and how mainstream progressives agree with the radical left—even when they’re afraid to say the quiet part out loud. "Progressives who aren't quite openly DSA mostly agree with the DSA, but just don't say the quiet part out loud. The sin of Francesca Hong in Wisconsin is that she was saying all the quiet parts out loud. "I think people are taking the wrong message from what happened in Wisconsin last night. The reality is that if Bernie had endorsed Francesca Hong, she would be the nominee right now."

TARGETING TEHRAN: Sec. Marco Rubio warns that Iran remains unserious about a deal as the U.S. expands its strike list and hammers targets for an 11th straight night. "We remain open to diplomacy. We remain open to working it out in a negotiated way, but right now, they don't seem to be serious about that. And so we're going to continue to protect shipping.” “We think other countries should join us in that endeavor. We don't need them to, but they should, because they're more impacted by it than we are. And at the same time, we are going to, when the opportunity presents itself, degrade their ability to target global shipping."

TWO YEARS AGO TODAY: The tweet that reshaped modern political history. On Sunday, July 21, 2024, President Joe Biden officially announced he was dropping out of the presidential race via a post on X.

Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham recalls telling her brother to talk more about "kitchen table issues" like grocery prices, gas prices, healthcare, etc.: “I would watch him, and I’d be like, ‘Lindsey, you’re just talking about national security all the time. And I understand that’s important—protecting our borders, national security, absolutely.’ I said, ‘But you know, talk about what matters to the average person, too.’ “You know, the price of groceries, the price of gas, healthcare, insurance—those kinds of things. That’s what I’m worried about. So, I think that’s important, too.”

"How would YOU know?" President Trump shuts down a reporter's claim on Iran with a sharp reality check: "Why? Do you know something that I don't know? You don't know what the dialogue is behind the scenes... You don't know anything."
