THAT'S A LOT OF LOSING IN ONE DAY. THANKS SO MUCH. >> LET'S BRING IN BEN SHAPIRO. HE'S THE HOST OF "THE BEN SHAPIRO SHOW AND PODCAST." HE CREATED THE WHOLE THING AND HE MOVED IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BEN, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO TAKE ON THE GOVERNMENT AND WIN? >> WE HERE AT DAILY WIRE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND WE PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH WAS. WE SPENT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, AND WE WERE THE FIRST COMPANY IN AMERICA TO FILE AGAINST THE VAX MANDATE AND WATCHING THEM GOING DOWN IN FLAMING DEFEAT IS WELL WORTH THAT COST. JOE BIDEN, BY THE WAY, HIS APPROVAL RATING MORE PEOPLE NOW LIKE CERTAIN TYPES OF BOWEL CANCER THAN LIKE JOE BIDEN AT THIS POINT AND I THINK THAT'S WELL DESERVED. >> Brian: WOW. GOING FORWARD, GIVEN WHAT THE SUPREME COURT SAID YESTERDAY, IT WILL UP TO EVERY BUSINESS NOW TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A MANDATE, BUT IT WON'T BE MANDATED BY OSHA. IT WOULD BE FROM THE COMPANY. SO GOING FORWARD, WE HEARD THIS MORNING THAT APPARENTLY CITIBANK BASED IN NEW YORK CITY, THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP THE MANDATE. THEY HAVE GOT 99% OF THEIR EMPLOYEES VACCINATED AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE THINK IT'S A GOOD POLICY SO IT'S GOING UP TO EVERY COMPANY NOW TO DECIDE HOW TO MANAGE THIS PANDEMIC GOING FORWARD, BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN THE VACCINES ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE PERHAPS AS WE WERE SOLD. SO PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MANAGE CORONAVIRUS MAYBE FOREVER. >> WELL THIS IS ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS HERE, THE VACCINES ARE NOT PREVENTING INFECTION. THEY'RE PREVENTING HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH AND THAT'S WONDERFUL AND VERY IMPORTANT, BUT THEY'RE NOT PREVENTING INFECTION WHICH MEANS A LOT OF THE VAX MANDATES DON'T IN FACT ACHIEVE THEIR STATED PURPOSE AND WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS THREATENING TO DOES WITH TO PUT BUSINESSES COMPLETELY UNDERGROUND. DESTROY THE BUSINESSES IF YOU DIDN'T FORCE YOUR EMPLOYEES TO VAX OR REGULARLY TEST AND MASK. WE WEREN'T WILLING TO THE THAT AT THE DAILY WIRE AND OUR DAILY WIRE OFFICES IN TENNESSEE, PEOPLE WERE CRYING WHEN THEY WATCHED THE DECISION COMING DOWN BECAUSE PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY'D LOSE THEIR UP JOBS OVER THIS. THERE WERE TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO FELT THAT SAME WAY. AND BY THE WAY, IT'S WORTH NOTING HERE IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ABLE TO APPOINT THREE JUSTICES NO QUESTION THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE WOULD DO WHATEVER THE HELL IT WOULD WANT IN THIS COUNTRY. THERE ARE THREE LEFTIST JUDGES WHO SAID THAT OSHA COULD WITH NO STATUTORY AUTHORITY, CREATE A VACCINE MANDATE AND THAT THE CDC COULD ISSUE EVICTION MORE TORIA INDEFINITELY. >> Steve: GREAT POINT. >> Ainsley: YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. WELL, IT WAS A BIG BLOW FOR JOE BIDEN YESTERDAY, BUT IT'S NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY OR THIS WEEK. IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE WORST WEEK OF HIS PRESIDENCY, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE AFGHANISTAN. BUT LET'S GO OVER SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK THAT WEREN'T GOOD FOR HIM. THE CDC FACT CHECKS, LIBERALS PUSHING THE VACCINE MANDATE, FINDING A COVID TEST IS REALLY HARD, RECORD CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, HOSPITALS REACHING CAPACITY, POTUS PIVOTS TO VOTING RIGHTS WITH A SPEECH EVEN MEMBERS OF HIS OWN PARTY PANNED. STACEY ABRAMS DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR THAT. AND CONSUMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BARE STORES AND A 2024 TICKET WITHOUT HARRIS OR BIDEN ON IT. POTUS STUMBLES THROUGH THE TELEPROMPTER AND ASKS FOR THE CZAR'S NAME, HE DIDN'T KNOW HIS NAME. HE ADMITS THE VOTING RIGHTS BILL WILL LIKELY FAIL AS SENATOR SINEMA TAKES ON THE FLOOR BEFORE HE ARRIVES AT THE HILL TO TALK ABOUT IT. SENATOR MANCHIN SAYS HE HASN'T TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND THERE'S NO RENEGOTIATION OF THE BUILD BACK BETTER. SCOTUS KNOCKS DOWN THE VACCINE MANDATE FOR BUSINESSES OVER 100 EMPLOYEES. AND THERE'S NO FURTHER TALKS WITH THE RUSSIANS AND THEN TWO MORE THINGS. RIGHT, TWO MORE THINGS. NORTH KOREA FIRES FRESH MISSILES LASHING OUT OVER OUR THIRD ROUND OF THE U.S. SANCTIONS AND THE DHS SAYS THAT 4,000 MIGRANTS AND ONLY 50,000 WERE CHECKED IN WITH I.C.E. OUR PRODUCERS PUT THAT TOGETHER, SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND JUST SHOW THE PEOPLE HOW BAD THIS WEEK WAS FOR THE PRESIDENT. WHAT'S YOUR REACTION? >> WELL, HE HAS FALLEN AND HE CANNOT GET UP. HE CAME INTO THE OFFICE MAKING TWO SPECIFIC PROMISES HE COULD NOT KEEP. ONE, YOU COULD SPEND YOUR WAY AND NOW WE HAVE MASSIVE INFLATION AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD BE ABLE TO QUOTE/UNQUOTE SHUT DOWN THE VIRUS. IT WAS A LIE WHEN HE TOLD IT AND HE CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THAT LIE AND HE'S BOXED HIMSELF IN. HE CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS. THESE ARE PROBLEMS OF HIS OWN MAKING. HE COULD CONTROL THE BORDER IF HE WANTED TO. HE COULD LEAVE THE ECONOMY ALONE BUT HE CAN'T DO THAT EITHER. HE'S CREATED THE BOX, NOW HE CAN'T GET OUT OF IT. NOW HE'S RAILING AT THE WIND AND SHOUTING AT THE CLOUDS LIKE GRANDPA SIMPSON AND TRYING TO CONVINCE THE 7 IN 10 AMERICANS WHO DON'T LIKE HIM ARE SEGREGATIONISTS. NO WONDER HE'S SO UNPOPULAR. >> Brian: BEN, HE'S IN OFFICE FOR THREE MORE YEARS. WE HAVE WATCHED BILL CLINTON PIVOT AND OTHER PRESIDENTS PIVOT. IT CONSTANTSLY HAPPENS. SO BILL CLINTON RECOMMENDED TO HIM, GO BACK WITH BUILD BACK BETTER, PICK TWO THINGS YOU WANT, AND REINTRODUCE IT. PULL BACK. IF YOU'RE HIM, YOU HAVE TO FIRE EVERYONE, BEGINNING WITH RON KLAIN. WHOEVER LOADED THE PROMPTER FOR THAT SPEECH IN GEORGIA HAS TO BE FIRED. WHOEVER SENT HIM TO CAPITOL HILL WHILE SENATOR SINEMA WAS ON THE FLOOR HAS TO BE FIRED. THEY ARE -- HIS STAFF IS AS INEPT AS HIS SPEECHES. SO WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE WITH THREE MORE YEARS? >> I MEAN, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FOR JOE BIDEN IS FORGET HIS STAFF. JOE BIDEN, HIS ENTIRE IMAGE WAS HE WAS GENTLE AND PATHETIC GRANDPA AND THEN HE ALLOWED AFGHANISTAN TO FALL TO EIGHTH CENTURY CAVEMEN AND GOT AMERICANS KILLED AND LEFT MANY BEHIND. THEN HE DECIDED TO CALL EVERYONE WHO DISAGREED WITH HIM ON FEDERALIZATION OF ALL THE VOTING PROCEDURES A SEGREGATIONIST OR A SLAVE HOLDER. HIS IMAGE HAS BEEN SO TARNISHED AT THIS POINT I DON'T THINK HE CAN PIVOT TO THE CENTER THE SAME WAY THAT BILL CLINTON DID. BILL CLINTON NEVER LOST THE IMAGE OF AT LEAST BEING THIS SORT OF GENIAL PERSON WHO FELT YOUR PAIN. JOE BIDEN HAS LOST THAT AND ONCE YOU LOSE IT I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN REGAIN IT. >> Steve: WE'RE DOOMED. ULTIMATELY, PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR JOE BIDEN HAS BUYER'S REMORSE AND NOW FAST FORWARD TO CLOSE TO THE END OF HIS FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE, PEOPLE ARE GOING, NOW, WHY DID WE PICK HIM AGAIN? IT WAS BECAUSE HE RAN AS A MODERATE, BUT ONCE HE GOT INTO OFFICE THEN SUDDENLY, THE LEFTISTS IN HIS PARTY AND THE PEOPLE HE INSTALLED IN THE WHITE HOUSE PULLED HIM SO FAR TO THE LEFT. I THINK IF HE GOES INTO THE LANE WHERE HE RAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT HE WOULD WIN RE-ELECTION BUT I THINK CERTAINLY HIS POLL NUMBERS WOULD GO UP BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE -- THEY'RE SMACKED IN THE FACE WITH THE INFLATION AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND IT HITS THEM ALL DAY. BAD DECISIONS BY THIS ADMINISTRATION IMPACT ME ALL DAY. WHETHER I'M IN THE GROCERY STORE, WHETHER I'M AT THE GAS STATION, WHETHER I'M WEARING A MASK SOMEWHERE. ALL DAY, BEN. >> YEAH, I AGREE WITH THAT I MEAN, LISTEN, HE MADE A HISTORIC POLITICAL BLUNDER BY DECIDING TO MOVE TO THE LEFT AND DECIDING TO BE FDR AND HE HAD A SLIM MAJORITY. IT WAS AMAZING, HE BEAT BERNIE SANDERS BECAUSE HE WAS NOT BERNIE SANDERS AND THEN HE ALLOWED BERNIE SANDERS TO BODY SNATCH HIM AND SUDDENLY HE WAS DOING BERNIE SANDERS' AGENDA. THAT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THE ONLY WAY HE HAS A POSSIBILITY OF RE-ELECTION OR SUCCESSOR OF HIS HAS AN ELECTION, IS WHEN HE GOES BACK TO WHAT -- NOT BEING TRUMP. I'M A GUY WHO IS NOT TRUMP. AS MUCH AS HE'S CLOSE TO BEING ALIVE, HE HAS ALIENATED AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE. >> Ainsley: BEN, THANK YOU VERY
