CONFESSION | FULL TRAILER

Coming to The Daily Wire on November 11.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

James Gunn’s ouster at DC is long overdue. As a lifelong DC fan, he butchered some of the greatest American IP of all time (Superman, etc.) on behalf of CGI slop and frantically grotesque screenwriting. Good riddance.

Jensen Huang is one of the most incredible businessmen in history. His company represents somewhere between 6-8% of the entire value of the S&P 500. And his zipper may have just undone capitalism.

Scratch the “moderates” in the Democratic Party and find something radical underneath. How long will the mask last before it slips?

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Dave Chappelle said that he “feels better” since Charlie Kirk’s murder. It wasn’t really a joke. The broader question for Democrats is this: how deep does the hatred go?

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

It’s not enough to just point at Democratic extremism and tell Americans to vote for you. Republicans must provide a cohesive and meaningful defense of the things that matter: truth and virtue; private property and free markets; strength and prudence abroad.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Republicans got crushed last night because of three things in combination: unaffordability, chaos, and corruption.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Here’s what last night wasn’t about: an embrace of Democrats’ radical policy dreams or a failure of candidate quality. It was a referendum on President Trump. Period. And it was a shellacking.

Tonight’s election MATTERS. It will either set the groundwork for a Democratic Party revival – in all of its most radical forms – or it will signal that the Trump realignment has legs. GO VOTE. And don’t listen to the demoralization agents, Right and Left, who tell you that it doesn’t matter.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Remember: @TuckerCarlson is a vile demoralization agent who wants the GOP to lose. This is his "special Election Day message" email this morning.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is a dumb person's idea of a good writer. His writing is so purple he ought to pen his pieces in Crayola violet crayon.

[VANITY FAIR @VanityFair]

"Haley Stevens’s defection from the Democratic vote isn’t a story about party intrigue. It is a story about Stevens waking up and choosing violence. In supporting Mike Rogers, she has allied herself with an odious culture war in the US, tied to the very real war in Gaza,” writes Ta-Nehisi Coates. https://t.co/rAS148XFnW

In this list of "Jewish leaders" there are five rabbis. One "is the first rabbi to lead a Unitarian Universalist Congregation."
None lead mainstream congregations.
One leads a tiny Reconstructionist group that meets in a church.
Another is part-time, leading a small congregation in part-time services every other week.
The other two have no congregations.

There is also a Reverend Lauren Zinn, who was ordained by an interfaith program and doesn't purport to be any sort of Jewish clergy.

And like half the people who signed don't even provide their last names, so you have no idea if they are Jews are even real.

This is what I call news by press release, where some fringe group issues a press release and gullible or willful media outlets print it like it's real news.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

If you believe this, you are retarded. Or a motivated thinker. Or, most likely, both.

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.

Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.

To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.

The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.

And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.

We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.

Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.

They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.

One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

What the hell is going on in Poland? We break it all down…and discuss why it is that when Left-wing governments attack institutions, they suddenly become “anti-authoritarian.”

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

The polling data shows a blue tsunami coming. Maybe that data is correct. But there’s one major problem: Republicans haven’t been picking up the phone.
