Democrats Are At War With Themselves And Reality

The show today is about the fight within the Democratic Party over anti-Semitism in their ranks and the reality on the southern border. Plus Democrats are afraid to debate on Fox News and Alex Trebek announced he has cancer. We get into all of it.

Listen to the show:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is unable to muster enough Democratic Party support to simply condemn anti-Semitism. The party that was outraged and demanded apologies when people answered “all lives matter” when asked if they though black lives matter, is now poised to condemn all forms of hate because they can’t simply renounce repeated anti-Semitism expressed by one of their own members, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. There’s been lots of fighting and attacks by more radical Democrats on Pelosi for giving into right-wing demands. Also, there’s a bunch of requests from other Democrats to have their grievance added to the list of things to be condemned. It’s gotten really crazy.

There were a couple of hearings Wednesday on Capital Hill dealing with the crisis on the southern border. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen testified that the U.S. is on track for 1 million illegal aliens entering the country this year, which will overwhelm the system. And Democrats insist this is not an emergency. Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Kevin McAleenan warned of the increase in crossings and the flow of drugs, but Sen. Richard Blumenthal would have none of it. No matter what facts he was presented with by the head of the CBP, Blumenthal simply returned to Democratic talking points. We have the unbelievable audio.

Tom Perez, the head of the Democratic National Committee, announced Wednesday that they would not allow Fox News to host any of the Democratic Party primary debates because they’re too biased. Instead, they’ll stick to the left-wing activists at MSNBC and CNN. It’s unclear who is surprised by this, but it’s cowardly and not surprising in the least.

Finally, “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek announced he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, but told fans he plans to fight it and win because he still has 3 years left on his contract. To honor the man who’s been a part of all of our lives for decades, we have a couple of audio clips from classic Jeopardy that are hilarious.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
