How are Democrats splitting into radicals, traditionalists, and moderates after the shutdown?

Ben Shapiro 0:00
Democrats engage in their circular firing squad, the radicals versus the traditionalists versus the moderates, and it's getting ugly out there. Plus, more economic news from the Trump administration. What actually would provide affordability? Republicans fighting over H-1B visas. And why are some supposed traditionalists now embracing polygyny like men marrying more than one woman. We'll get to all of that. But first, join Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and me next Wednesday night, 7 p.m. Eastern on Daily Wire Plus, as we do what we do best, debate, discuss, disagree on the biggest stories in politics and culture. Plus, we're world premiering the first official trailer for the Pendragon cycle, Rise of the Merlin.

Don't miss it. Friendly Fire, Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern, only on Daily Wire Plus. Well, the Democrats' circular firing squad continues. There is a vast battle happening inside the Democratic Party, ranging from the radicals led by people like Zoran Mamdani and AOC and Bernie Sanders, to the more traditional liberals who don't seem to have any sort of systemic immunity to that, to the moderate Democrats who are increasingly feeling out of step with their own party. Meanwhile, President Trump just keeps trucking along. Yesterday was Veterans Day, and the President of the United States spent Veterans Day speaking about the value of our veterans. Here he was yesterday.
Donald Trump 1:13
This morning on these hallowed grounds where generations of American heroes rest in eternal glory, we gather to fulfill the sacred duty of every free man and woman. On Veterans Day, we honor those who have worn the uniform, who have borne the battle. who have stood to watch, whose ranks have formed the mighty wall of flesh and blood, bravery and devotion that has defended our freedom for 250 years. Today, to every veteran, we love our veterans, we say the words too often left unsaid, thank you for your service. Thank you very much.

And again, President Trump has a baseline level of patriotism that comes through in everything that he does, truly. I mean, the man loves the country. Obviously, he loves the American flag. He loves the American military. That was the president at Arlington National Cemetery yesterday. And here he was, again, saying everything that we have, we owe to the military, which is something, again, the radical Democrats do not believe this.
Donald Trump 2:24
Yet every captain of industry, every pioneer of science, and every star whose brilliance has lit up the lights of Broadway all share one thing in common. They only had the chance to soar because the veterans had the courage to serve. They took care of those people. They took care of all the stars. The stars that you read about wouldn't be here without our veterans. Everything we have, everything our country has achieved has been purchased by the muscle, spine, and steel of the United States military. We owe it all to the fierce and noble men and women of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and the United States Marines.

Well, contrast that with how Hassan Piker has been spending the last few days. Apparently, he went to China. And while he was in China, he decided that he was going to blather about how America is terrible in a country that legitimately censors everything you do, kills its opposition, runs them over with tanks. This was Hassan Piker literally in Tiananmen Square, where protesters against the Chinese government were murdered, talking about American patriotism.
Scott Bessent 3:42
I don't have any sort of patriotism in my heart for any.
Donald Trump 3:46
Yeah, for America, but just in general, I'm not like a very I care about people.
Ben Shapiro 3:50
OK, well, I mean, if that is the choice that Americans are put to and if Democrats continue to embrace this sort of radicalism, then, you know, I think the Democrats are in some real trouble here. And the fact is, Hassan Piker is, of course, fairly close with Zarmandandi, the new mayor elect of New York. He was at his party, his victory party in New York, where he was going around literally telling camera people that it was a tragedy that the Soviet Union had collapsed.
