“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."

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

.@benshapiro reveals one of his biggest blind spots: "I think that dishonesty remains a blind spot. When people are dishonest with me, I think they can get away with it for a while before I figure it out...There's sort of a core naiveté I may never get over."

Abdul El-Sayed wants taxpayer-funded “gender-affirming care” and abortion: “I believe medicare for all should cover all healthcare…That includes reproductive rights. That includes gender-affirming care.”

NEW: ICE agents could soon be hitting the streets equipped with these electric shock gloves. The federal government plans to spend up to $20 million on thousands of "conductive distraction and de-escalation devices" by March, per a Monday Department of Homeland Security notice. The technology, known as G.L.O.V.E., or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, has been used by other law enforcement agencies to control violent suspects inside jails and in the field. It comes as sources within ICE have described an uptick in violence by the individuals they're trying to arrest. The company behind the product, Kentucky-based Compliant Technologies LLC, says the gloves are "not a weapon, but a device used to quickly distract with small uncomfortable electrical pulses" when making contact with skin. "The discomfort associated with the stimulation is usually effective in bringing individuals into compliance in less than three seconds and leaves no burns, marks or scars," Compliant Technologies states on its website. "The technology is safe as it does not penetrate the subject's body; while also allowing other officers to grab the individual being stimulated with no fear of feedback into their bodies. CD3 technology is a great, humane, low-optics, de-escalation solution for many situations facing our men and women in uniform today," the company says. The shocks can't pass through clothing,  hair, metal, plastic, or fur, according to the company. Agents must complete a training course before using the gloves and get recertified to operate them every two years, according to Compliant Technologies' website.

"The sin of Francesca Hong...is that she was saying all the quiet parts out loud...The reality is that if Bernie had endorsed Francesca Hong, she'd be the nominee right now." @benshapiro joins @foxandfriends to break down the rise of the DSA and Democratic primary results:

"The question as to whether you can use woke to destroy AOC in a Dem primary is going to be whether the people running against AOC are willing to do it." @BrentScher joins @MarkHalperin to discuss AOC's position in the 2028 Democratic primary:

.@BrentScher on AOC walking back "Woke 1" talking points: "I don't think there's anybody more connected with the woke era than AOC...She's the one who told everybody that we needed the Green New Deal because the world was going to end in 12 years...Now she's freezing her eggs."

Francesca Hong on her insane comments on Thanksgiving and defunding the police: “I was actually trying to become a sports journalist when I first went to college so I learned then you have some hot takes, sometimes bad takes on Twitter.”
