On today's show, Alex and Lex discuss the latest Democratic primary debate between Rep. Adam Fetterman and Dr. Oz. Plus, Kanye West drops a new pair of sneakers, and the FBI investigates an armed man at a polling place.
00:00:37.000The other day was the DeSantis debate, but that was an hour before our show went live.
00:00:41.000The thing is, Fetterman cannot understand words that are said to him.
00:00:46.000So he has to use a special device, and it's sad, you know, but this, a lot of people expect is going to be a disaster of a debate, because he has to use this device to see the questions that the moderators will ask, and then see what Dr. Oz says in real time.
00:01:01.000How much you want to bet Dr. Oz tries to say, like, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, so that the machine jumbles it, and Fetterman's like, I mean, not literally the woodchuck thing, but if Dr. Oz starts speaking too quickly, Or uses obscure small words followed by larger words and it mashes them together.
00:01:18.000Fetterman's gonna... I don't know what you said, I'm sorry, and it's... and he's gonna stumble, so... We're gonna see what he has to offer.
00:01:25.000The big thing is that they're within two points of each other, and considering the margin of error, it effectively means Oz is going to win in Pennsylvania if nothing changes.
00:07:04.000Dude, come on, you mean to tell me that WPXI, this is like a local news agency, just all of a sudden, they do audio every day for hours and they can't get the audio right now.
00:11:30.000So it's not a topic that we should be debating on the stage.
00:11:34.000We should be talking about crime and inflation, the issues that are hurting Pennsylvanians, that they're talking about at their kitchen table.
00:11:39.000Fetterman probably did that not to pay taxes.
00:11:46.000Mr. Fetterman, we have to continue on.
00:11:49.000We'll continue on with a follow-up question to you, Mr. Oz.
00:12:05.000I'm supportive of reducing taxes, but we want to be thoughtful about the long-term game plan to get gas taxes down and frankly all energy prices down.
00:14:30.000I figured that Most people would probably want to see it, considering it's a prominent Senate race, it's very close.
00:14:36.000We have here, if we can pull this up, the 538 polling, that Fetterman's up 2.3 points, but considering the huge error in polling, that it's probably going to swing towards us.
00:14:47.000So we figured this would be important.
00:14:49.000I didn't think it was going to be that bad.
00:15:01.000You can't make fun of someone like that in that situation.
00:15:04.000But you do have to call out, you know, I think there's a bigger story to this.
00:15:07.000We talked about this a couple days ago, specifically about the big powers and the big interests pushing individuals because there was a lot of powerful individuals that invested into him.
00:15:16.000And I could see him being pushed and pushed by those special interests to be on stage when clearly he shouldn't be.
00:15:23.000I thought Biden also was pushed, although I don't have evidence.
00:15:27.000Obama said to Biden, you don't have to do this.
00:15:30.000And his wife apparently walked off and got lost today at the White House.
00:15:35.000And there's a mean post posted about this specifically being like, you know, he has no people that love him, because if he did, they would make sure he wouldn't be working the most stressful job at his old age, when clearly he's having a lot of problems.
00:15:50.000This is what I think, you know, when we talk about The fall of empire, the end of the country, or the cultural collapse, or whatever it is you want to call it.
00:15:58.000It's not, it's not some tyrannical psychopath the way the left screams about fascism.
00:16:39.000Maybe we need to make people listen to it, but I assume most people who watch this already know, but I'm glad in a sense they are doing the debate, because as bad as it is for Fetterman, there are a lot of people who need to watch that.
00:16:53.000They need to watch that and be like, okay, this is not a meme.
00:18:12.000And I don't have any animosity for the guy, I think he's got bad policies, but watching this is like, you know what, it kind of reminds me of like watching a dude who was like a great baseball player who got in a car accident, and then him hobbling on the field and everyone clapping, being like, go for it, go for it, and then he falls over and falls on the ground.
00:19:24.000Yeah, I want to look into the face of every woman in Pennsylvania.
00:19:30.000You know, if you believe that the choice of your reproductive freedom belongs with Dr. Oz, then you have a choice.
00:19:36.000But if you believe that the choice for abortion belongs between you and your doctor, that's what I fight for.
00:19:42.000Roe v. Wade, for me, should be the law.
00:19:46.000He celebrated when Roe v. Wade went down, and my campaign would fight for Roe v. Wade, and if given the opportunity, to codify it into law.
00:20:29.000I am not going to support federal, federal rules that block the ability of states to do what they wish to do.
00:20:36.000The abortion decision should be left up to states, and specifically when John Federman...
00:20:43.000I've been very clear on my desire as a physician not to interfere with how states decide.
00:20:52.000So when John purposely, knowingly misrepresents that to women, he scares them.
00:20:56.000He's purposely trying to alarm them and the fear-mongering isn't working.
00:21:00.000Running tens of millions of dollars of ads, claiming that I'm against all abortions, when he knows that's not right.
00:21:04.000Claiming that I'm going to be strict with Pennsylvania, when he knows that's not honest.
00:21:08.000I can't be any clearer than I've been on the stage today.
00:21:10.000John Fetterman, if you just hear that one story today, I'd be really happy.
00:21:14.000But I know you're not going to, because you're going to go right back to telling the fables that you believe.
00:21:18.000Mr. Oz, I want a 15-second clarification.
00:21:21.000You are saying that you would leave it up to the states, that the federal government does not have a role here.
00:21:26.000So are you saying you would not vote for the Lindsey Graham bill?
00:21:30.000Any bill that violates what I said, which is the federal government interfering with the state rule on abortion, I would vote against.
00:21:37.000What I feel strongly about is that women in Pennsylvania understand what I'm saying and not believe that someone who's taking an extreme position like John Fetterman represents them.
00:21:45.000Because most women do not believe that we should, at a federal level, codify 38 weeks of permission to have an abortion and have taxpayers pay for it.
00:21:54.000So a yes or no on the Lindsey Graham bill?
00:21:56.000I think I've answered it very clearly three times, Lisa.
00:22:33.000legislators all across this nation. I do respect the policy.
00:22:35.000I must correct that. Once again, he's misrepresented what I've said, but he also said
00:22:39.000something very dishonest. On this debate stage, he said very specifically in his primary
00:22:44.000debate when he was still debating that he would support 38 weeks of mandated rules by the
00:22:50.000federal government that would prevent any state from blocking it. So that's not Roe v.
00:22:55.000Wade. That's not true. I support Roe v. Wade. That's the simple. John, you said specifically
00:22:59.000you would support a federal Mr. Fetterman, turning to you, we have a follow-up question.
00:23:04.000Would you support allocating federal funds to transport women who live in states where abortion is banned to states where they can get one, and why?
00:23:08.000We must continue on. Mr. Federman, turning to you, we have a follow-up question.
00:23:13.000Would you support allocating federal funds to transport women who live in states where
00:23:18.000abortion is banned to states where they can get one, and why? 30 seconds.
00:25:11.000Mr. Oz, you have built a lucrative career around medicine, but you've been criticized, even by some fellow physicians, for promoting, quote, unproven, ill-advised, and at times, potentially dangerous treatments.
00:25:27.000One of the great blessings of traveling around Pennsylvania is you run into people who have watched the show.
00:25:32.000They thank me very much for giving them life-saving advice on chronic issues like high blood pressure or dealing with their anxiety.
00:25:38.000The show did very well because it provided high-quality information that empowered people, which is exactly what I want to do when I'm a senator.
00:28:25.000You wrote a column in 2014 calling for no fracking pending health study results.
00:28:32.000But in a video posted on social media in March, you said, quote, natural gas guarantees high paying skilled jobs right here in Pennsylvania.
00:28:51.000It's a very old technology to be safe.
00:28:53.000It is a lifeline for this Commonwealth to be able to build wealth, similar to what they've been able to achieve in other states.
00:29:00.000For that reason, I strongly support fracking, drilling, the piping of that natural gas.
00:29:05.000In fact, I built a facility even in Philadelphia so we could export it to our allies and help them, the ones that are struggling now in Western Europe because of the Ukrainian war.
00:29:14.000John Fetterman calls fracking a stain on Pennsylvania.
00:29:18.000He says that he was signed a moratorium to ban its continued use.
00:29:57.000In fact, I live across the street from a steel mill, and they were going to frack to create their own energy in order to make them more competitive.
00:30:04.000And I support that, living closer to anybody else in Pennsylvania for fracking to myself.
00:30:09.000I believe that we need independence with energy, and I believe I've walked that line my entire career.
00:30:18.000Mr. Fetterman, I do have a specific question, which you can continue on this topic, but you have made two conflicting statements regarding fracking.
00:30:26.000In a 2018 interview, you said, quote, I don't support fracking at all.
00:30:47.000I've always supported fracking and I always believe that independence with our energy is critical and we can't be held ransom to somebody like Russia.
00:30:59.000You know, I've always believed that energy independence is critical, and I've always believed that, and I do support fracking.
00:31:06.000I've never taken any money from their industry, but I support how critical it is that we produce our own energy and create energy independence.
00:31:21.000You're saying tonight that you support fracking, that you've always supported fracking, but there is that 2018 interview that you said, quote, I don't support fracking at all.
00:32:45.000I ran to fight gun violence and that's exactly what I did.
00:32:49.000In working with the police and working with our community I was able to stop gun violence for five and a half years as mayor.
00:32:56.000Ever accomplished before or since my time as mayor because I'm the only person on this stage right now that has It was successful about pushing back against gun violence and being the community more safe.
00:33:11.000All he's done is put a plan on his website in the last 24 hours.
00:34:20.000There are parts of that bill that I like a lot.
00:34:22.000For example, I like the fact that there are background checks that are being strengthened now so we can make sure that people who should not have guns don't get guns.
00:34:30.000I also like the fact that there was a lot of money invested for mental health, which is an important part of the equation.
00:35:59.000Republican governors in the South have been sending migrants to Democratic-run cities and states without a plan or without any coordination.
00:36:07.000It is certainly gaining a lot of attention, but is it an effective way to deal with the influx of migrants?
00:36:37.000Fetterman supports, has created a humanitarian crisis with cartels profiting, with human
00:36:42.000trafficking operations. They take the money, they buy narcotics from China and bring that
00:36:46.000into our country. And it's making every state a border state.
00:36:49.000Pennsylvania is already a border state because we're top three in the country in fentanyl overdoses.
00:36:54.000I can't go anywhere giving a big event where I don't meet multiple people who say their personal lives have been destroyed because of fentanyl overdoses.
00:37:03.000Yet John Fetterman not only wants an open border, but he wants to legalize all hard drugs in America, including narcotics.
00:38:18.000I don't ever recall in the Statue of Liberty did they say, you know, Take our tired huddle masses and put them on a bus and use cheap political stunts about them.
00:38:28.000I believe we have to develop a comprehensive and bicartisan solution.
00:39:00.000I believe China is not our friend and I believe that we can't be able to push back and we need to stand against China.
00:39:07.000And I believe that Dr. Oz has chosen to manufacture all of his merchandise on his name on it in China.
00:39:14.000Which one of us on this stage is going to stand up against Mr. Ross, what do you believe is the greatest foreign threat to the United States of America?
00:39:23.000to make sure that we address China and make sure that we know that it's not our friend.
00:39:28.000Mr. Rice, what do you believe is the greatest foreign threat to the United States of America?
00:39:33.000The fact that our country is not projecting strength.
00:39:36.000Take, for example, what we're doing with Iran.
00:39:38.000In order to try to get them to give us a little oil so we can deal with the catastrophe that Russia has caused, we have gone to them and tried to sign a deal that would allow them once again to have the nuclear power to blow up Israel, which they promised they would do.
00:41:36.000He criticized Joe Biden for not spending enough money and not sidling up close enough to Bernie
00:41:41.000He says he won't work with Joe Manchin.
00:41:43.000He said, if you like Joe Manchin, don't vote for me.
00:41:46.000So if you're picking fights with your own party, you're not going to be able to reach across the aisle to the other side.
00:41:51.000His extreme positions have made him untenable for Republican lawmakers.
00:41:55.000We need to send someone to Washington who understands the importance of balance, sensible decision-making, and a common-sense approach to the challenges that we all face.
00:43:01.000We'll allow a 30-second response to that, Mr. Fetterman, specifically what he was saying referring to the incident in Braddock.
00:43:08.000I made the opportunity to defend my community as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer there.
00:43:13.000Everybody in Braddock, an overwhelmingly majority community of black community, all understood what happened.
00:43:21.000You know, they understood what happened and everybody agreed that and nobody believes that it was anything about me making a split-second decision to defend our community as well.
00:45:34.000No one's going to touch it on my watch except to make sure that it's stronger than it is right now.
00:45:38.000Social Security, Medicare, which I know a lot about as a doctor, are the fundamental element of security for our seniors and they deserve to feel like they're valued by our nation.
00:45:48.000John Fetterman, again, has been Running ads and saying that I'm against those, with no proof.
00:45:54.000I've never said anything different than what I'm saying to you on this stage.
00:45:57.000But in an effort to fearmonger with people who are older and can be taken advantage of, he'll run these ads.
00:46:02.000John, it's reprehensible, but it's also reflective of your approach to doing these things.
00:46:06.000You haven't shown up on the campaign trail.
00:46:08.000You haven't answered questions from voters, not once on the campaign trail.
00:46:11.000You haven't answered questions from media, once on the campaign trail.
00:46:15.000You know, just to show off that you could do it.
00:46:17.000And this is the only debate I could get you to come to talk to me on, and I had to beg on my knees to get you to come.
00:46:22.000And if it wasn't for Dennis probably getting involved, I don't think it would have happened.
00:46:25.000Seniors need to know more about your radical left positions, and I need to be able to tell them about my positions.
00:46:35.000Mr. Oz, I'm going to let you have 15 seconds in a moment, Mr. Fetterman, but can you give us a specific example of what you would do to protect Social Security?
00:46:42.000Well, for one, we have to make sure that it adequately increases with the higher inflation rates that we have.
00:46:47.000So we've got to make that 4% of wasted money that right now is in the budget redirected appropriately.
00:46:53.000And one of the first places that I would use it is Social Security and Medicare.
00:48:55.000Drop the cost down by pushing for more value for the money we're spending, and then ensure there's a high-quality education that lets people make a living when they graduate.
00:49:10.000Again, Dr. Oz, you know, loves free money when it's a half a million dollar tax break on one of his, you know, homes down in a ranch in Florida.
00:49:20.000And whether it was a $50 tax break, you know, about his farm in Montgomery County.
00:49:25.000So it's about supporting and helping, you know, young earners, excuse me, young, young, young, you know, students to give them a break.
00:49:37.000I believe that that supporting uh all right let me just ask specifically
00:49:45.000student loan debt the debt reminds me of breaking bad he said fifty dollar tax break fifty
00:49:50.000bucks everybody would be happy with that do you support that again i i do absolutely start up with
00:49:55.000again like a little blow them up belly it's about helping young learners you know be able to get a
00:50:01.000better start you know getting in the start of their life
00:50:05.000And I do believe that, and I believe a majority of Americans support that as well, too.
00:50:30.000I fundamentally believe that every quality public university education should be very Affordable in every state.
00:50:41.000And I think that needs to be a significant investment, you know, to make sure that anyone be able to afford to go to get a four-degree university degree, you know, at Penn State or any state schools to make it much more affordable.
00:50:56.000And that means a significant investment to make sure and create it affordable that every family can afford.
00:51:04.000How exactly, Mr. Fetterman, do you propose doing that to make it more affordable for families?
00:51:26.000This is from NewsNation viewer Anne Andrews, a registered nurse from Conneautville near Erie.
00:51:32.000Anne is a vocational educational instructor for a university and a practicing registered nurse.
00:51:39.000If you were elected, could you please tell me what you would be doing for vocational education in the state of Pennsylvania as well as our nation?
00:51:48.000So, Mr. Oz, if elected, what would you do for vocational education?
00:51:55.000But, John, because obviously I wasn't clear enough for you to understand this, there's no question that cutting out the middle levels of higher education and providing digital programs would reduce the cost of education.
00:52:05.000It's a concrete set of ideas that I'd like to move on.
00:52:07.000With regard to vocational education, this is really important.
00:52:10.000for us to allow our trade unions to get closely linked, more closely linked with
00:52:15.000the vocational schools. I was in a vocational school in Westmoreland
00:52:19.000and they have about a thousand kids. They could take two thousand kids.
00:52:22.000Funding those programs is the smartest way to invest our tax dollars.
00:52:26.000We'll turn up twice as many children who have a job as soon as they graduate.
00:52:30.000It supports our trade unions who want those kids in their positions anyway.
00:52:42.000Again, I think it's just the same way that university for degrees as well, too.
00:52:48.000Supporting that and partnering with the unions.
00:52:51.000And making sure that vocation training is affordable and providing the resources to make sure everyone has the opportunity.
00:53:01.000Going to college isn't the right choice for every person, you know, but going to those kind of vocational schools, being able to create a career to raise a lot of high salary and supporting to reduce those costs are critical too.
00:53:40.000You know, I fundamentally believe that even though I don't agree with the ideological breakup Uh, of the Supreme Court.
00:53:47.000You know, I believe it's not about changing the rules.
00:53:51.000It's about acknowledging where we're at much the way the Republicans want to try to change the Constitution about how our Supreme Court in Pennsylvania is going to be done.
00:55:14.000Once again, I would just like to say that my campaign is all about fighting for anyone in Pennsylvania that ever got knocked down, that had to get back up again.
00:55:26.000I'm also fighting for any forgotten community all across Pennsylvania that ever got knocked down, that had to get back up.
00:55:33.000You know, I've made my entire career dedicating to those kinds of pursuits.
00:55:38.000I started as a GED instructor back in Braddock over 20 years ago because I believe it's about serving Pennsylvania, not about using Pennsylvania for their own end interests as well.
00:55:53.000To me, careers are refilled Uh, by your real underlying values.
00:56:00.000And my values have always been about fighting for forgotten communities all across Pennsylvania.
00:56:07.000Mr. Oz, your final thoughts, 90 seconds.
00:56:10.000I've loved traveling the four corners of the beautiful commonwealth and I've heard your problems.
00:56:15.000I'm a surgeon, doctor, I listen to what you say and I'm trying to help address them today.
00:56:19.000I've talked to seniors worried their social security checks wouldn't go far enough with the raging inflation.
00:56:25.000I've talked to couples want to make their first down payment on a new house and they can't afford it anymore because of interest rates.
00:56:30.000I've talked to families... You want to cut social security!
00:56:33.000Mr. Fenneman, it's his turn for his closing.
00:56:35.000I've talked to families worried about fentanyl showing up in their mailbox and literally taking the lives of their children who they find blue in bed.
00:56:43.000I've talked to families who won't let their kids go outside because of the crime wave that's been facilitated by left radical policies like the ones John Fetterman has been advocating for.
00:57:51.000We do have one final question, an important issue in Pennsylvania.
00:57:54.000The eyes of the state are on this debate tonight, but on Sunday they will be on Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia as the state's two NFL teams go head-to-head.
00:58:02.000Mr. Fetterman, Steelers or Eagles, and why?
00:59:41.000It's not just that he needs the machine.
00:59:44.000So you'll notice there were two monitors.
00:59:46.000One was transcribing and one was delayed transcribing.
00:59:48.000Probably because he has to look back and forth if he misses something.
00:59:52.000But how many times has Oz gotta say, like, I'm not gonna cut Social Security, and then Fetterman just goes, HE'S GONNA CUT SOCIAL SECURITY!
00:59:58.000It's almost like he couldn't understand what was being said.
01:00:00.000When Oz was like, I'm going to digitize portions of our education system and get rid of the administrative staff bloat, and then Fetterman was like, you didn't even answer the question.
01:00:07.000He's like, I did, I said I'm gonna, and like, repeated the answer.
01:01:09.000But here I just watched two guys, and you know, you guys ever watch that Family Guy episode where they hire an ugly chick to stand next to Meg?
01:01:18.000So by comparison, she looks more attractive.
01:02:33.000Maybe the Democrats knew that if Biden went out and actually tried to debate more than a few times or campaign, It would be endless commercials of gibberish, garbled nonsense, and that's why they don't have him do it.
01:03:40.000I don't remember what it was, but when Bush was George W. Bush was president, I remember seeing some comedy sketch where the joke was he's folksy and an idiot in public, Fetterman.
01:03:59.000And then as soon as he walks behind the curtain, he stands up straight and he goes, all right, let's get back to work, ladies and gentlemen.
01:06:57.000Someone super chatted, Basobic mentioned that if Federman wins, he's going to step down for health reasons and then give, assuming Shapiro wins the governorship, an appointment.
01:07:16.000Some kind of ruthless corporate banker head that, of course, is just seething to just suck the blood out of the poor working-class blue-collar people of Pennsylvania, just like most politicians.
01:07:26.000But they're literally going to appoint Mumia.
01:07:44.000I was just listening, and I do not want to start making fun of John Fetterman having a post-stroke hard time talking, but that what they did in New York.
01:07:51.000Even Oz started to mesh his words because he's sitting next to Fetterman like in that state of mind.
01:08:33.000I mean, look, imagine he's standing next to, he's in the Senate, and he's standing next to McConnell or somebody, and they quickly come up and say, John, you've got to understand, we're pushing this bill because it matters the most that we get inflation down right now, so we've got to cut spending here, we've got to cut spending here, we're going to look at a 2.3% increase.
01:08:49.000You need to get on board with this, I'm not going to ask you twice, and John goes, What?
01:08:54.000He's going to be a terror to work with.
01:08:57.000Do you think that when they're debating and negotiating on Senate floor, they're going to be having a big machine so that when someone walks up to him personally and says, I need you to back me on this one, a Democrat even, Democrats need to consider this for themselves.
01:09:12.000A Democrat's going to walk up and say, John, vote yes, we need to get this bill done.
01:09:17.000He's going to go, I believe, you know?
01:11:35.000I think he, this is again just speculation here, is going to win, is going to become one of the biggest politicians out there, and I think there's going to be a Biden-Federman 2024 ticket that's going to absolutely take it, because what better opportunity for multinational corporations than to of course embed people In candidates that actually don't know what's going on, that could just rubber stamp all of their policies, which happens right now, according to my own personal opinion, with the Biden administration.
01:12:00.000I think it's clear as day he's not in charge here.
01:12:02.000The people who put him in charge, they're the ones calling the shots here.
01:12:05.000They're the ones pushing the Great Reset.
01:12:07.000They're the ones building back better.
01:12:08.000They're the ones destroying the American economy and, of course, stopping domestic energy exploration and production, which is deliberately creating an energy crisis right now.
01:12:16.000The campaign slogan for Biden-Federman 2024 is going to be like, Bertifan, Bergiv, come on, you know Shabbat.
01:12:25.000And people are going to be like, what?
01:12:28.000I mean, like a lot of people study how White Houses are structured.
01:12:32.000And with Trump, I mean, if he had something that happened to him, you know, everything would have been chaos because everything went up to the top.
01:12:54.000I just need to stress this before we wrap up this, you know, segment.
01:12:58.000I want you all to realize where we are as a nation.
01:13:01.000We're at a point where one of the oldest and most prominent political parties has decided to run someone with a severe mental disability, restricting their ability to comprehend words that are said before them.
01:13:13.000We can make it a little bit more crass.
01:13:15.000We are at the point where the Democrats are running and have run and won with brain-damaged candidates.
01:13:22.000I'm not saying that to dig at Fetterman.
01:13:24.000I'm not using brain-damaged as a kind of insult.
01:13:42.000You gotta know when to bow out, but here we are, in America, this is the point where this nation is.
01:13:48.000A man with a severe mental disability just stood on debate stage for an hour, and there are prominent media and activists who are acting like this is good and okay, and the right person to vote for.
01:14:00.000They may have well, in my opinion, conceded the race immediately to Oz, and I do not understand what they're hoping to gain out of this.
01:14:09.000Oh, geez, I hope people can see reality.
01:14:13.000I don't know how distortive... I know drugs can really mess people up, perception-wise, and you don't see things that are happening sometimes.
01:14:20.000Food also, I'm afraid, can do that, but I hope to God people see that debate and see it for what it was.
01:14:27.000There was a really funny moment where he just said, I just believe.
01:14:31.000When she was like, how are you going to get costs out of this?
01:15:02.000They're in Maricopa County and they're sitting next to some ballot drop boxes.
01:15:08.000Apparently there's an organization that's advocating for watching these ballot boxes, and I said this was going to happen.
01:15:14.000I said, you know, after like 2,000 mules and after a lot of these claims, people are going to go to the drop boxes and they are going to watch.
01:15:21.000Then you're eventually going to see Antifa show up.
01:15:23.000We've already had one woman show up and confront them.
01:15:41.000They wrote that their scenario that they fear for escalation of civil war is that at a polling location on the midterms, Someone is there observing.
01:16:23.000The polling location is now closed, and a dispute arises as to whether or not the election can be legitimate if polling locations are being shut down.
01:16:33.000People don't have faith in these drop boxes.
01:16:36.000And just to take it back a little bit, I think it was Philly where they had the Black Panther Party that was intimidating voters back maybe a decade ago or whatever and nothing happened.
01:17:17.000Well, I mean, even in Wisconsin, you know, where I served on Election Day and then helped out with that investigation later, you know, there was a Supreme Court decision there where they said, you know, you can't ballot harvest.
01:17:28.000But I'm still hearing that people come in with bags, you object, and they don't listen to you.
01:17:32.000So it doesn't matter if the law and the books is one thing, if there's no way for you to enforce it.
01:17:37.000Well, I think the issue right now, depending on where this goes, is simple.
01:17:41.000I think people should be watching ballot boxes.
01:18:32.000It's a different law, but it's the same story that we had with the FACE Act, which is the Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances, which they used against abortion protesters that often would just- They're using right now.
01:18:59.000Oh man, regarding these, I kind of agree that- I just think in general, not even just this, I think, what happens on the 8th?
01:19:05.000Unless you create faith in the voting system as a whole, I think it's gonna slowly unravel.
01:19:10.000And for that, it's like, I don't like digitized voting counting proprietary software, because I don't care if I'm mailing it in, handing it to a guy, putting it in a box and he's carrying it.
01:19:19.000If it's being tallied by a machine and the code's in private, I don't know if they're flipping it 5149 behind the scenes.
01:19:25.000I've actually seen testimony of a developer that did that.
01:20:18.000Seriously, to the people who think it's silly when I say things like civil war, do you think the end result is going to be that Hillary Clinton walks up to Trump and says, how could I stay mad at you, and then Trump's like, come here, and they hug?
01:20:29.000Is it going to be like the BLM marcher with the black mask on in the Maltav sees the Trump supporter with the MAGA flag and then he drops the Maltav and goes, what have I become?
01:20:39.000And the Trump supporters, come here, buddy.
01:21:14.000Specifically when we look at, you know, the Trump election, the Russian collusion, And all the people coming forward saying, I don't trust this election.
01:21:39.000I see no way of stopping this train coming ahead of a major disaster inside of the United States.
01:21:46.000The only thing that I can see that can fix this is if you do have one party, and I would say probably Republican, you know, landslide so that their side can see faith in it and then they win again and there's some kind of strong agenda that they put in place that can bring people to heel.
01:22:02.000But if the Republicans win, the Democrats are going to say that they cheated.
01:22:05.000Being people down is about the only way that I can see that this works.
01:22:13.000I think that if we see an overwhelming Republican victory, like Luke was saying, the Democrats will claim the Republicans cheated, the country's become fascist, and already there is this viral tweet where someone said, well, democracy is over, what are you going to do?
01:22:27.000And someone responded with, I'm going to join the resistance.
01:22:30.000Now look, I'm not confident the left has the ability to form any meaningful resistance, but You need to, you know, I've been harping on this because I've been reading a lot more about the Civil War.
01:22:42.000The South was a lot of states, relatively, but not a lot of people.
01:22:47.000It was like two to one North to South.
01:22:49.000They were the minority, a substantial minority.
01:22:51.000And then slave owners were an even smaller minority.
01:22:54.000So, You know, we may think, like, Democrats might break Republican and Independent, but looking at Hillary Clinton and her cohorts and the cult members, there's a strong faction there, and they're not going to accept a Trump victory.
01:24:31.000We could see the House do a simple vote.
01:24:34.000We saw this based off of House delegations.
01:24:36.000There was a concern that in 2020, because I think there were 26 House delegations that were Republican or something like that, Donald Trump would have won if it was pushed to a House delegation vote.
01:24:46.000With this Supreme Court ruling, something else could happen.
01:24:49.000A state like Michigan simply says, evidence has been brought to our attention, which leads us to believe, you know, this amount of votes or that amount of votes are not correct or are illegitimate.
01:25:02.000Therefore, we as the state legislature nullify them.
01:25:26.000I mean, you know, the whole thing about, you know, you can get into Republican form of government problems if the state legislature is not even holding an election or something like that.
01:25:35.000But at the end of the day, there have to be processes in place to count the votes, to make sure that there's a state actor who's certifying things and sending them to the archivist and whatnot.
01:27:15.000The thing about fracking and nobody really brought it up is when they first were doing it, it was really dirty and they've advanced the chemicals that they inject in underground.
01:27:22.000So it's a lot cleaner from what I've heard.
01:28:03.000He had to use a special device, and she said that during the small talk, it wasn't clear he understood what she was saying.
01:28:11.000And a bunch of people on the left said that it's ableist, that someone with mental disabilities and brain damage should be allowed to hold office.
01:28:21.000And they said that she was wrong, and it was offensive, and that criticizing Fetterman was akin to criticizing someone who needed reading glasses.
01:28:31.000Governor Abbott can't- A cursory viewing of the debate determined that was a lie.
01:29:06.000No, he's just a guy that broke, but he doesn't want to let go of what he used to have.
01:29:12.000Maybe the reason he said, uh, you know, I support fracking and I don't, is so that the Democrats are able to make a video of him answering however they want him to answer.
01:30:57.000Yeah, I was, I was like, there's an opportunity to have a conversation with Kanye that's, that's, that's real and asks him to, you know, explain himself better.
01:31:07.000But I didn't, I didn't get that interview.
01:31:09.000It felt like it was very much like, here's what the media said, so I'm going to, I'm going to argue with you about it.
01:31:39.000We're going to go to Super Chats because this is a special debate episode, so smash that like button if you haven't already, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
01:31:45.000We got a very important members-only uncensored show coming up having to do with New York and a court ruling on the vaccines and vaccine mandates.
01:31:52.000This is huge, by the way, reversing all of these firings, ordering back pay.
01:31:57.000Devastating to those who marched in lockstep, but we'll talk about that for the members only.
01:32:30.000Whitmore, especially about her health care record when it came to, of course, putting people in nursing homes.
01:32:36.000I think that's a big question that should be asked to her right now, and people should remember the past of how she, you know, helped murder people.
01:32:43.000All right, AI says, Seriously, Tim, AMC's Rubicon.
01:33:15.000All right, let's grab some, uh... Salty Duckling says, someone should take the Hillary Clinton conspiracy video and put it over the InfoWars background.
01:33:23.000Oh, that's a really good idea, actually.
01:34:41.000I suppose you could argue technically something that was not designed with the intent to cause damage to a biological or structural entity.
01:34:49.000Yeah, but I mean, like, assault with a deadly weapon could be a rock, a heavy rock.
01:36:05.000This is a good one from Jen Desai, says, if Fetterman cannot communicate without a device, in an emergency where power or internet fails, he becomes a major liability.
01:36:14.000I want you to imagine you decide Fetterman should be your rep, and he goes to DC.
01:36:20.000And let me ask you, Democrats, do you think January 6th could happen again?
01:36:23.000All right, I want you to imagine Fetterman standing there when a January 6th type moment happens.
01:37:15.000Same thing with, you know, these people mocking those who get like Bell's palsy or whatever.
01:37:19.000I'm like, dude, there's a lot of things that cause Bell's palsy.
01:37:22.000I've seen stories of people who use like wasp spray and then two weeks later they're like, oh, the chemical may have caused something rather than that.
01:41:48.000They're not going to send people to their own neighborhoods.
01:41:51.000But, if they do invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy military, you may end up with people from whatever branch, who are from a specific area, being like, I will not bear arms against my home neighborhood.
01:42:05.000So, my point was ultimately that you're going to see state divisions.
01:42:09.000You're gonna see people in the military choose to side with their state, not because they care about their state, but because they care about where their family lives, and they don't wanna be the one pointing a gun at their friends.
01:42:52.000Charles Notgiven says, my first super chat is heartbreakingly sad.
01:42:56.000A man that is struggling to make his brain work like it used to, and another mocking him for it, saying his policies are things in his imagination.
01:43:20.000That's what's crazy for me, because I had a brain injury in 2015, and it's insane to me that he would do that, like, what, how long, it was in May?
01:43:27.000It's utterly insane to me that he would go into a debate on a national level and try and answer questions like that if he can't even read the prompt.
01:43:35.000It's just, I can't even imagine, that's why he's sweating so much.
01:43:38.000You know how he's like having to read all those things and pay attention to all this stuff?
01:43:40.000I cannot, I do not understand how he does that.
01:43:45.000Like I said before, I think it was on the member segment, but it took me like, I thought after a year I was okay, but then after like three or four years I was like, wow, after a year I was still not recovered whatsoever.
01:43:54.000It took me a lot longer, and I just don't, I can't even imagine.
01:46:46.000A physical, physical contest, like an obstacle course like Ninja Warrior, a physical battle, like American Gladiators, and a mental battle like chess.
01:46:55.000And they have to do all of these things.
01:47:49.000Yeah, like, you earn a vote, like a .01 times advantage plus on all the votes you receive if you win the chess match.
01:47:59.000When you win the boxing match, when you win the obstacle course.
01:48:03.000Hey, Bob got his ass beat, but at least he now knows what it means to get your ass beat, and he's not going to be talking trash, and he's not going to try to start another war, hopefully.
01:48:12.000Legacy Production says, Oz's lucky Fetterman has health issues.
01:48:16.000Even with his speech, Fetterman is taking points away from Oz and saying agreeable things.
01:48:20.000I won't completely disagree with that.
01:48:22.000I think it was really bad, but, you know, Fetterman... There was one point, I can't remember exactly what he said, but I was like, okay, that wasn't so bad.
01:49:59.000He writes, Have you ever had a dream that you had to, you could, you do, you wit, you could do, so you could do, you want, you wanted him to do you so much you could do anything?
01:50:16.000Wanted him to do you, and the answer... I just, I want not to start to make fun of people with mental disabilities because of this stuff, but putting him up there, it makes him a mockery.
01:50:27.000This has been said before on this show, I don't need to reiterate, but I really want to have compassion for people that are suffering from mental injuries of any kind.
01:50:43.000Jem R says, in fairness to Fetterman, I just believe is the most honest answer I've ever heard a Democrat give about how they plan to make their utopia happen.
01:56:20.000You'll come out, someone, I'm telling you right now, there's a lot of people watch this show, and I don't know who it's gonna be, but someone's gonna be sitting there laughing and mocking him and just ragging on him and making fun of him, and then an hour later they're gonna collapse and their family's gonna scream and they're gonna have a stroke and they're gonna be sitting in a wheelchair being like, now I understand.
01:56:36.000That's the way the universe works sometimes.
01:56:54.000I get it, but you know what I think is...
01:56:57.000I've seen a lot of stuff in my life that I would say defies probability, or at least what we think is probability, which either means within my limited human confines, we're predisposed to believe in something greater than us, or it means based on our basic understandings of probability and arithmetic, there are things that sometimes seemingly defy that, and we want to believe in something greater.
01:57:29.000What may be happening is that when electrons are entangled is that you infuse energy on one and it moves, and then hundreds of miles away another one's moving, but it may be because it's actually the same object Through multiple dimensions or something like that.
01:58:14.000Wish for them the best for one reason, because if it happens to you, you're gonna wish for sympathy as well.
01:58:18.000It's so crazy that there's that state of mind, which I embody that, and then there's war, where the goal is to destroy another thing or person or society.
01:58:27.000It's incredible that we live in that binary duality, if it's only two.
01:58:30.000I mean, there's more than that going on.
01:59:40.000All right, Austin S. says, here in Minnesota, the governor didn't show up for a debate, so his Republican opponent had an uninterrupted Q&A session.
02:00:51.000And then, uh, Yeah, MTG, Lauren Boebert, these are massive personalities.
02:00:58.000AOC, I think is fair, but the rest of the squad, they've not been particularly prominent, and even AOC hasn't really been particularly prominent.
02:01:06.000All right, everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.
02:01:12.000We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show coming up for you at 11 p.m.
02:01:14.000You don't wanna miss it, you can follow the show at TimCast.
02:01:49.000Today I covered the very optimistic New York Supreme Court case and decision that I think is absolutely worth talking about and celebrating.
02:01:57.000Yes, but I also got a video that people can watch afterwards.
02:02:00.000Potentially right now, but also, usually I'm in the chat room all the time, and in the beginning of the shows, I usually ask the audience members to guess my shirt, and if they guess it right, they get the shirt and a hundred bucks, and I want to announce that ahead of Zeitgeist, a user got it right, so I'm going to be sending you the shirt.
02:02:29.000And one lucky member at TimCast.com has a chance to win a car, but you should wait for the rules and the video release before making any assumptions about what this really means.
02:02:41.000I will just state, we gotta check the legalities to make sure we can do it before we actually confirm we're gonna be doing anything, because it is not, I think anybody who's watched the Members Only Show, I'll mention it, actually, I'll mention what our plan is in the Members Only Show, but it's gonna be funny.
