The hosts of ABC’s “The View” got into a heated debate on Tuesday‚ complaining about a weekend interview with former New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie and his claim that 81-year-old President Joe Biden is “past his sell-by date.” Whoopi Goldberg opened the discussion with a clip of Christie’s conversation with ABC host George Stephanopoulos. “Oh‚ my goodness gracious … What are you talking about? He kicked butt a couple of days ago. He did better than you-know-who did‚” Goldberg said‚ claiming that Biden had done better than former President Donald Trump in South Carolina’s primary even though the Republican primary has not yet taken place.

A now-viral video showcases the moment that a student realized his claims of author J.K. Rowling’s alleged bigotry were based on rumors and reports rather than things she had actually said. Political commentator Lee Harris shared the video‚ adding the caption‚ “This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher skillfully dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions. He teaches not what to think‚ but how to think critically. Watch until the end. You see the epiphany in real-time.” WATCH: This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic.

The teacher‚ instead of answering the question outright‚ presented a thought experiment to the student and asked him to explain why he believed Rowling to be “bigoted” or “transphobic.” Almost immediately‚ the student admitted that he had based his assessment on things other people had claimed — but then he went to Rowling’s social media and read one X post aloud. “Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?” Dress however you please.Call yourself whatever you like.Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.

Noting as the discussion concluded that there was “not much difference” between what the student himself believed and what Rowling had said‚ he asked‚ “Do you think it’s fair that there’s a – that she’s being attacked by a large group of people‚ people are calling her like you said at the beginning of this conversation‚ you said‚ ‘Given the fact that J.K. Rowling is transphobic‚ how do you feel about Harry Potter?’ Now‚ retroactively looking at that statement‚ do you think that was the best way to phrase that?” “No‚ I feel like an idiot‚” the student said with a laugh.

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro has scored his first song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for “Facts” with rapper Tom MacDonald.

But now the time has come for me to walk away from my art. And so today‚ I announce that I am retiring from rap to spend more time with my family.  It’s been real‚ dawgs.  And never forget: the music never dies so long as the beat is in your heart.” At the time of publication‚ the music video has been viewed more than 13.5 million times on YouTube and is still the #3 top trending song on the site. On Feb. 1‚ Shapiro shared a screenshot that showed his rap collab was in the top spot on iTunes music and wrote‚ “Day 7 of Rap Hannukah. The flame is still lit. Buy now at …Billboard #1‚ we are coming for you.” In a press release from MacDonald‚ after their rap dropped‚ Shapiro said‚ “As a longtime devotee of rap‚ becoming a rapper was the natural next step in my career trajectory. So‚ when Tom asked if I wanted to collaborate on a song‚ I leapt at the chance.” “This was the moment I spent 20 years of classical violin training preparing for‚” he added. “For those who don’t appreciate my artistic stylings‚ all I can say is that they didn’t appreciate Bach properly in his own time‚ either.”

President Joe Biden claimed during a White House press conference this week that if Congressional Republicans do not pass his highly controversial border bill‚ former President Donald Trump will be “the only reason the border is not secure.” Biden made the remarks after setting numerous records during his presidency for the historic number of illegal aliens that have stormed through the southern border. Biden‚ who repeatedly stated throughout his first three years in office that the border was secure and that there was no crisis‚ has now changed his views on the issue as polling ahead of the November elections shows that the overwhelming majority of the country‚ approximately 70%‚ disapproves of the way that he has handled the border and 61% blame him for the border crisis. House Republicans passed a border security bill some 270 days ago‚ the Secure the Border Act‚ which has been sitting on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s desk ever since. Seeking to deflect blame for the crisis‚ Biden said on Tuesday that Trump controls the Republicans in Congress and that if they do not pass the border bill‚ Trump will own the border crisis‚ even though Biden could declare a national emergency and shut down the border on his own. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “If the bill fails‚ I want to be absolutely clear about something‚ the American people are going to know why it failed‚” he said. “I’ll be taking this issue to the country. And the voters are going to know that … just at the moment we’re going to secure the border and fund these other programs‚ Trump and the MAGA Republicans said‚ ‘no’‚ because they’re afraid of Donald Trump.” “Every day between now and November‚ the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends‚” Biden continued. “It’s time for Republicans in the Congress to show a little courage‚ to show a little spine‚ to make it clear to the American people that you work for them‚ not for anyone else.” Biden: But if the bill fails‚ I want to be absolutely clear about something. The American people are going to know why it fails.
