Matt Walsh appeared on Fox News Monday night to discuss the streaming release of “Am I Racist?” and blasted Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party over their obsession with racial identity.  Walsh told Fox News host Trace Gallagher that the Democrats’ uproar over jokes made at former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally highlights how the Left focuses on “the victim and oppressor narrative.”  “And that’s all they really have,” Walsh said. “That’s kind of what lays at the bottom of the Left-wing racial ideology, which is what the DEI scam, which we expose in the film, is built on.”  Gallagher played a clip of Dr. Phil blasting diversity, equity, and inclusion during a speech at Trump’s rally and asked the Daily Wire host why the Left is outraged about Dr. Phil’s comments.  “Dr. Phil’s message is particularly inconvenient for the Left right now because Kamala Harris is the DEI candidate,” Walsh said. “I mean, she’s the first DEI presidential candidate, and we say that not just as some kind of slur. It’s true. She’s the first presidential candidate in history to be handed that position as the nominee without being voted in purely because she checked demographic boxes, not based on any merit, not because anybody wanted her.”  Walsh also said the timing of “Am I Racist?” couldn’t have been better as Americans prepare to vote between Trump and Harris in the 2024 presidential election.  MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “If [Kamala] ends up in the White House, then she’s going to bring that ideology that is opposed to merit, that kills merit and puts demographics above it, and she’s going to bring that into the White House, which is not good for the country,” Walsh added.  “Am I Racist?” became the most successful release in DailyWire+ history on Monday after its huge success as the company’s first theatrical release for an in-house production. It outperformed expectations at the box office, grossing more than $12 million and debuting in the top five films in the country on its opening weekend. “Am I Racist?” also became the top-grossing documentary of the decade.  The film features Walsh going undercover in the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to expose the grift of the race hustlers profiting off people’s emotions through deception.

On Monday, I was wondering what exactly the October surprise from the Democrats and the media would be; one week out from an election and they haven’t had much. Is attacking comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and supposed jokes about Puerto Ricans all they had? Is that really all they had in their bag? And then I received a text. It came from a reporter at the New York Times, and read as follows: Good day, Mr. Shapiro. I hope you’re well. I’m Nico Grant, a reporter at The New York Times. I wanted to give you an opportunity to comment for an upcoming article that takes a look at how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on YouTube. We rely on an analysis conducted by researchers at Media Matters for America. Could you kindly provide us with a comment or decline to comment by the end of day tomorrow, Tuesday, October 29? Thank you so much for your time.  Here are points we plan to include. Media Matters identified 286 YouTube videos between May and August that contained election misinformation, including narratives that have been debunked or not supported with credible evidence. Researchers identified videos posted by you in those four months that contain election misinformation. We feature a clip of you saying, “ … Your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting …” I also have a few questions: 1. Are you a member of the YouTube partner program? 2. If so, how frequently does YouTube demonetize your videos? 3. Has YouTube sent you messages, emails or notices in the last year that your content contains misinformation? Thanks for your time.  This is not just a text. This is the October surprise. Here’s what the New York Times was planning, as they were pretty obviously and clearly working with Media Matters for America, which is a far-Left radical organization, started by David Brock in an overt attempt to destroy all conservative media. Media Matters was launched to astroturf boycotts on conservative media and anyone who would advertise with conservative media. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show Media Matters became incredibly famous by essentially launching secondary boycotts on people like Rush Limbaugh. They’ve tried it with us at Daily Wire as well. They’ve tried it with our hosts. This is what they do. The New York Times is overtly, clearly admitting to using Media Matters research in order to pressure YouTube to demonetize people on the Right and destroy them, because when you are demonetized, that also limits your reach. They want to destroy the dissemination of information from people on the Right one week prior to an election. That’s what’s going on here. It turns out the October surprise from our media, along with Media Matters — again, both Media Matters and the New York Times are Democratic apparatchiks — is an overt attempt to silence dissent one week before an election. That is what this is about. That is what the text is about. That’s the entire game. They run an article on the front page in the New York Times saying that YouTube is subsidizing election misinformation which, in turn, pressures YouTube (owned by Google, the number one donor to the Democratic Party) to censor any and all hosts, any and all information that disagrees with the Left. The important point is: They didn’t just reach out to me. As we now know, they reached out to pretty much everybody on the Right, other hosts from The Daily Wire, people like Tucker Carlson — everyone on the Right. Why? Because their goal is to shut the spigot off so you can’t get any information on places like YouTube. Thirty-seven percent of Americans get their news from YouTube, according to Pew Research. Theoretically, that number is even higher because some people engage with news on YouTube without even knowing it. Political ads run on YouTube. It is possible to watch a non-political video and be pushed to a political video, watch for five minutes, and only then tune out. Shutting off the spigot on news information one week in advance of an election: That is the New York Times’ trick. Obviously, none of this is about election misinformation and about shutting down “bad information,” as everyone knows. How do I know? Because they reached out to me about “election misinformation.” To me, of all people. If you listen to the show, you know I have been perfectly consistent since November of 2020 in that I believe Joe Biden won the 2020 election. I thought Donald Trump had every right to legally challenge that election, but I did not see the actual evidence that the allegations he was making about fraud in the election and the election itself were sufficient to overcome the state certification of the ballots. So of all the people to come to about election misinformation, coming to me is absolute proof that this trick has nothing to do with election misinformation. Instead, it is about silencing anybody on the Right. That is the goal. It is always the goal for the Left. It’s always the goal for the New York Times. Consider the craziness of this. The New York Times is supposed to be the tip of the spear in terms of freedom of the press and free speech; that same media outlet is overtly and clearly attempting to pressure the biggest video platform on planet Earth to shut off other press outlets. That’s crazy. They say it’s a challenge to the press if Trump calls them “fake news.” Imagine if we at the Daily Wire called for the New York Times to be completely demonetized and shut down on social media because of misinformation. Would that not be a challenge to free speech principles? It’s unbelievable. What’s hilarious is the quote they sent me about “election misinformation,” where apparently I said, “Your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting…” Really? FiveThirtyEight wrote in 2023, “One of the most striking aspects of the 2020 election was the unprecedented use of mail-in voting. Nearly half (43 percent) of all voters cast a ballot by mail in 2020, a record share, according to the latest Survey of the Performance of American Elections, a post-election poll of tens of thousands of registered voters run by MIT political scientist Charles Stewart III. Much of this was driven by COVID-19 — states changed voting rules and requirements to make it easier to vote by mail, and voters hoping to avoid crowded polling places in the middle of a pandemic took advantage.” Wait, that sounds like rigging the voting rules in order to increase mail-in balloting. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Maybe they ought to fact-check CBS News about ballot harvesting. In 2020, CBS News reported, “The Nevada Assembly passed legislation that would allow the state to mail a ballot to every registered voter, and the bill allows for third parties to collect ballots. Fierson argues that the threat to Postal Service funding and the warning of mail delays ‘makes ballot assistance even more important.’ But critics argue it opens the door to abuse and interference. The Nevada law does not limit how many ballots a person can collect. The Trump reelection campaign filed a lawsuit against the measure in Nevada and in other states.” Again, that sounds like rigging the rules so as to increase ballot harvesting. In 2020, the late-breaking media interference came in the form of shutting down the Hunter Biden laptop story. The New York Post had the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the social media “bros” were pressured into taking down that story by both the press and by members of the federal intelligence agencies. They shut it down. They throttled it. They prevented dissemination of the story on places like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). Now, they are doing something even more overt. They are overtly attempting to shut down all conservative dissemination of information on the biggest video platform in existence one week in advance of an election. If that’s not an attempt to rig an election, I don’t know what is.

Kamala's Last-Ditch Pitch To Black Men Is A Dream For Scammers, Fraudsters

'It was incredibly toxic'

The court issued no detailed explanation for its decision

'The issues are on the Republican side'

'It’s my intention that Mr. DePape will never get out of prison'

GREENVILLE, N.C. —Entrepreneurship is in Fred George’s bloodline.   “Every ancestor I know was a businessman,” George told The Daily Signal, as he stood on the floor of one of his five secondhand Trade It! retail stores in North Carolina. “I’ve got decades of experience, and the things that I learned growing up from my dad, who’s a businessman, he learned from his dad,” he said.   Trade It! operates somewhat like a pawn shop, but without the cash loan component. Individuals sell items, whether a TV, a watch, or a piece of furniture, to the store and then the store resells the items.  Fred George’s owns the Trade it! secondhand retail store in Greenville, North Carolina. (Virginia Allen/The Daily Signal) Despite his years of experience, George says he has had plenty of ups and downs as a businessman, but “the [President Donald] Trump years were the best we’ve done,” he said.   “Money seemed to be flowing a lot more during the Trump years,” said George, who also runs a shop where vendors can rent a space to sell antiques, books, records, and other items. “People were spending and earning, and of course, that’s good for everybody,” he said.   A vendor’s booth displays antiques inside Fred George’s Small Shops Mall in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. (Virginia Allen/The Daily Signal) George’s multivendor shop and one of his Trade It! stores are located in Nash County, North Carolina, a swing county that President Joe Biden narrowly won by only 120 votes in 2020. George, 60, has been doing business in and around Nash County for about 25 years.   Each of his five Trade It! locations do between $1 million and $2 million in business a year, while his multivendor shop is designed as an avenue to teach and train others how to go into retail entrepreneurship.   Right now, business appears to have slowed, George said.   “People seem to be, I think, pulling back on spending now, because of all the uncertainty and the inflation.”    Inflation currently sits at 2.4%, but was much higher earlier in the Biden administration. “I’m not a member of either party,” George said. “I’m not a big party-politics guy. But as a businessman … I don’t trust [Vice President] Kamala Harris to change things for the better.”   As a political “spectator,” George said he thinks “Kamala [Harris] is far to the left of Joe Biden, adding that despite Harris announcing that she is won’t “tax tips and wants to build a wall, all of a sudden, it goes against everything she’s ever stood for. So, I’m nervous about it, and most of the business owners I know are very nervous about it.”  Whoever wins the election on Nov. 5, George says there are two or three policy actions the next president could take that would be “huge” for his businesses.   Extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, aspects of which are set to expire at the end of 2025, so that tax rates don’t increase, would be significant, he said, adding, “I think some of the new rulings by the Department of Labor are hard for businesses to deal with, and I’m hoping that a Trump presidency will see some of those reversed.”   “I’d love to see the world become more affordable again,” he said, adding that he also wants to see “the price of gasoline [go] down, because what somebody spends on gasoline they can’t spend with me.”   The businessman is also a supporter of Trump’s plan to put “some tariffs on Chinese slave labor products that … compete with American products.”   Trump has repeatedly said he will implement tariffs on companies that don’t make their products in the United States. Trump explains his position on tariffs: "And if these companies don't make their products here, then they will pay a very stiff tariff when they send their products into the United States for the privilege of competing with our workers and our now protected companies. We're… pic.twitter.com/pOSq4sjX5L— Virginia Allen (@Virginia_Allen5) October 27, 2024 George is also supporting Trump because he wants a secure border and is concerned at the number of criminals and gang members who have entered the country in recent years.   Like himself, George says most business owners he knows try to stay out of politics because they want to attract the business of individuals in both political parties, but “most of the business folks I know are pulling for Trump.”   The post ‘I Don’t Trust Kamala Harris to Change Things for the Better,’ Swing State Businessman Says appeared first on The Daily Signal.
