Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro‚ along with hosts Matt Walsh‚ Andrew Klavan‚ and company co-founder Jeremy Boreing discussed the state of the 2024 presidential election before President Joe Biden gave his State of the Union address on Thursday. During the Daily Wire “Backstage” episode‚ the hosts argued that former President Donald Trump is the clear moderate in the race while Biden has moved to the radical Left. “[Biden] came into office as a supposed moderate. He was somebody who was going to unify the country and govern from the center-Left‚” Shapiro said. “He won the entire race on the basis of not being Bernie Sanders on the one hand and not being Donald Trump on the other‚ and so he enters office and that’s sort of the basis of his entire administration‚ and very quickly he shifts into ‘I’m going to be FDR.’ And that means I’m going to swivel to the radical Left‚ and I’m going to make myself subject to every single thing the radical Left wants of me.” The Daily Wire editor emeritus went on to say that Biden’s shift to the Left has created a problem for the president and his campaign heading into the 2024 election. “The reason he’s doing poorly in the polls is not just that his base is unenthused by him — it’s because independents do not like him‚ moderates do not like him‚” Shapiro said‚ adding‚ “Joe Biden is not the moderate in this race. Donald Trump is the moderate in this race.” “That’s right‚” Klavan chimed in. Shapiro added that Trump has taken a more middle-of-the-road approach on cultural issues such as abortion‚ while Biden has moved to the Left. “On abortion‚ for example‚ [Trump] might argue for a 16-week federal abortion ban‚ which is way too late for any of us [Daily Wire hosts]‚ but for the sort of median American voter that’s a lot closer than Joe Biden who’s saying ‘abortion up until the point of birth.'” "Joe Biden is not the moderate in this race. Donald Trump is the moderate." – @benshapiro and the Daily Wire crew discuss the #SOTU and the 2024 election on Backstage. pic.twitter.com/oaw17DMN2k — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) March 8‚ 2024 Biden made abortion one of the top issues of his “State of the Union” address‚ promising to “restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again” if Americans elect pro-abortion lawmakers to Congress. The president said conservatives who support pro-life laws “have no clue about the power of women in America‚” pointing to elections in 2022 and 2023 when abortion was on the ballot. “About 48% of Americans‚ according to Gallup‚ support a 16-week abortion ban‚” Shapiro said. “Only 24% of Americans want abortion all the way up until birth; the rest want more restrictions than that.”

President Joe Biden botched the name of the young woman who was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien in Georgia late last month during a shouting match with a Republican member of Congress on Thursday night during his State of the Union speech. “I’d‚ be‚ a winner —‚ not really‚” Biden said at the start of the awkward clip. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shouted at Biden to say the name of Laken Riley‚ the young Georgia nursing student who was allegedly murdered late last month by a Venezuelan national. “Lincoln Riley!” Biden said. “An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That’s right. But how many of the thousands of people being killed by illegals? To her parents‚ I say‚ my heart goes out to you having lost children myself. I understand.” Greene fired back at Biden on social media‚ writing: “Joe Biden’s policies killed Laken Riley. He finally tried to say her name‚ but couldn’t even say it correctly. It’s an absolute disgrace.” Joe Biden’s policies killed Laken Riley. He finally tried to say her name‚ but couldn’t even say it correctly. It’s an absolute disgrace. pic.twitter.com/GMKL8tuyYz — Rep.

A man was removed from President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech on Thursday night after yelling at Biden during the event. Steven K. Nikoui‚ 51‚ was arrested by police for shouting at Biden after he was allegedly warned to stop. Nikoui is the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui‚ 20‚ of Norco‚ California‚ who was killed during an ISIS-K terrorist attack at the Kabul airport during Biden’s disastrous withdraw from Afghanistan. “The year before I took office‚ murder rates went up 30% — ” Biden said before getting cut off. “30% they went up.” Nikoui began shouting “United States Marines” and “Abbey Gate” at Biden‚ causing the president to freeze up for a moment. “The biggest increase in history‚” Biden continued. The guy who heckled Biden from the upper seating area shouted "United States Marines;" perhaps in reference to the 13 Marines the President killed with his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. pic.twitter.com/n3OPgvVdtZ — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 8‚ 2024 Nikoui was arrested for D.C.

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro‚ along with hosts Matt Walsh‚ Andrew Klavan‚ and company co-founder Jeremy Boreing‚ slammed President Joe Biden on Thursday over his State of the Union‚ saying that it was one of the angriest addresses in American history.  The comments came during their live reaction on “Backstage” to Biden’s State of the Union in which he repeatedly attacked former President Donald Trump and yelled throughout. Biden’s speech focused on Ukraine‚ abortion‚ and the economy. He also launched repeated attacks on Republicans.  “It was honestly the worst State of the Union address that’s maybe ever been given‚ especially for the first 30 minutes‚” Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said. “Angry‚ slurring‚ started with the most hyper-partisan issues he possibly could.”  Walsh added that it may have been “the angriest State of the Union” that had ever been given‚ ripping him for talking about Ukraine and the size of chip bags before addressing the border crisis. Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan agreed‚ saying that Biden has always been angry and mean throughout his lengthy political career.  “This guy has always been this guy. He’s always been an angry‚ mean‚ hateful‚ corrupt‚ little son of a gun‚” Andrew Klavan said. “This might be the only State of the Union that ever accomplished anything‚ which might be getting Donald Trump elected.”  “I think people are going to remember that screaming‚ I think they are going to remember the sound of that voice just scolding everybody and yelling at everybody‚” Klavan added. “Who the hell is he to do that? What has he accomplished that he should be yelling at us for being unhappy that the price of food has gone up 35% since he took office.”  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Shapiro agreed‚ saying that the “screaming” was going to be most viewers’ takeaway from the speech.  “The entire opening of the speech was about how his fellow Americans are terrible and evil and corrupt and vicious and insurrectionists‚” Shapiro said. “He is currently running the worst re-election campaign we have ever seen.”  Trump‚ who has risen ahead of Biden in many recent polls in key swing states‚ also ripped Biden over his speech.  “That may be the Angriest‚ Least Compassionate‚ and Worst State of the Union Speech ever made‚” Trump posted on Truth Social. “It was an Embarrassment to our Country!”

President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech on Thursday brought out a quick response from Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro‚ who joined other Daily Wire hosts and company co-founder Jeremy Boreing to discuss the speech on Daily Wire “Backstage.” During his address‚ Biden focused heavily on criticizing former President Donald Trump‚ Republican lawmakers‚ and conservative voters. Biden spent considerable time at the start of his speech pushing pro-abortion policies and calling on Republicans in Congress to get behind additional support for Ukraine. After the speech concluded‚ the “Backstage” stream shifted back to the Daily Wire hosts and Shapiro delivered his initial response to Biden’s address. “Well‚ that was s***‚” Shapiro said. “I think we can go home. That’s the commentary‚” Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan quipped. Matt Walsh agreed with Shapiro’s takeaway‚ saying‚ “It’s the worst State of the Union address that’s maybe ever been given‚ especially for the first 30 minutes — angry‚ slurring‚ starting with probably the most hyper-partisan issues he probably could’ve.” .@benshapiro: "Well that was sh*t."

Shapiro argued that “the only reason” Biden began his speech by focusing on Ukraine was so he could compare Trump supporters to Vladimir Putin and Russian invaders to “demonize half the American public.” .@benshapiro discusses Biden's lies during the #SOTU on Backstage: "You [Biden] literally just said half of Americans are insurrectionists or akin to Russian invaders of Ukraine." pic.twitter.com/QeeASRs4Eo — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) March 8‚ 2024 Klavan added that Biden “has always been this angry‚ mean‚ hateful‚ corrupt little son of a gun.” “This might be the only State of the Union that ever accomplished anything which might be getting Donald Trump elected‚” Klavan said. Shapiro added that Biden and Democrats have moved so far to the Left that Democratic politicians 30 years ago seem more aligned with current Republicans‚ such as Trump. “Donald Trump’s campaign is closer to Bill Clinton’s 1996 campaign than Joe Biden’s campaign [is] by far; it’s not actually particularly close‚” Shapiro said.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL)‚ the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate‚ delivered an energetic rebuttal on Thursday night to President Joe Biden’s highly criticized State of the Union address. The Republican Party’s decision to have a vibrant Britt‚ 42‚ deliver the rebuttal was a stark contrast from watching the 81-year-old president yell throughout much of his speech. “The true‚ unvarnished State of our Union begins and ends with this: Our families are hurting. Our country can do better‚” Britt said‚ later adding: “Hardworking families are struggling to make ends meet today. And with soaring mortgage rates and sky-high childcare costs‚ they’re also struggling to plan for tomorrow. The American people are scraping by while the President proudly proclaims Bidenomics is working! Bless his heart. We know better.” Britt hit Biden hard on the border crisis that he caused and the subsequent flood of illegal aliens that have poured onto America’s streets. “President Biden inherited the most secure border of all-time‚” Britt said. “But minutes after taking office‚ he suspended all deportations‚ halted construction of the border wall‚ and announced a plan to give amnesty to millions. We know that President Biden didn’t just create this border crisis. He invited it with 94 executive actions in his first 100 days. … President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace. It’s despicable. And it’s almost entirely preventable.” Britt said that Biden was “not in command‚” a reference to his advanced age and the concerns that the majority of Americans say that they have about his mental fitness for office. “The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader‚” she said. “America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders‚ stable prices‚ safe streets‚ and a strong defense are the cornerstones of a great nation.” Watch the full Republican Response to the State of the Union by Sen. @KatieBrittforAL: pic.twitter.com/cHmYjVRR2P — GOP (@GOP) March 8‚ 2024

How can we read God’s Word one day‚ see something that the Lord wants us to learn and understand‚ and then read it again later‚ only to find that the Lord will open our eyes to something else? It is amazing how that happens. Do you think this is true?

By choosing to trust God‚ you’ll begin to see your anxiety and worry level disappear.
