On today's show: Elon Musk fires his election integrity team, a judge orders Donald Trump to dissolve the Trump Organization, and we have a special guest, Michael Knowles, join us to talk about the upcoming Republican Debates.
00:00:21.000A lot of people were worried when it was announced that X would be bringing on the same old garbage.
00:00:26.000And many of these people, this is really funny because apparently one of these election integrity guys was making fun of me, and people were like, I'm concerned about the bias of this team.
00:00:34.000When they're engaging in partisan attacks on, you know, social commentators and things like that.
00:01:07.000The Trump family is saying this property is probably worth close to a billion dollars, and if you look at comparables in the area based on real estate alone and not a business, they are correct.
00:01:16.000You got a half acre going for 40 million dollars, and Mar-a-Lago is beach-to-beach property, so we'll talk about that, but my friends, it's debate night!
00:01:24.000So around 9pm, the lesser-known GOP debate will begin, where we will waste our time but make fun of Republicans who aren't going to be the president, and I guess we'll enjoy our time doing so.
00:01:34.000Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, click TimCast IRLXMiami, pick up your tickets while you still can.
00:01:40.000We are going to be in Miami all next week.
00:01:43.000Friday, October 6th, we will be live with Patrick Bette David, James O'Keefe, Matt Gaetz, Ian will be there, of course I will be there, Luke Rutkowski will also be there, plus many special guests.
00:01:53.000We're going to have Alex Stein doing a stand-up bit, a pre-show, and we're going to have an after-show just for the people who are at this event, plus a bunch of free gear.
00:02:02.000And I believe right now, we haven't yet formalized it, but it is looking like that Friday night show will be a TimCast members-only exclusive for a variety of reasons.
00:02:12.000In fact, I think The Daily Wire, with Michael Knowles here, you know exactly why we're doing it.
00:02:16.000You did the same thing recently with your backstage.
00:02:19.000Yeah, I saw your video you put out where you were saying, we're going to take this normally on YouTube, we're going to put it out.
00:02:24.000So we're doing this event and that whole show, it's going to be a hundred times better for us to be on stage with the audience, everybody watching, participating, and not having to worry about the BS.
00:02:35.000Plus it's just a way for us to help make more of these events, make it function, make it reasonable.
00:02:40.000So definitely get your tickets while you still can.
00:03:21.000I'm really glad that I could be here, because you get accused of leaning in favor of one candidate or maybe another candidate, and I just think Doug Burgum does not get nearly enough support on this show.
00:03:33.000So I'm here for the Burgumentum, which starts tonight.
00:05:38.000This is big news considering we're entering the cycle and we've got a debate tonight, so I figured, let's jump into this one.
00:05:43.000Elon Musk announced on Wednesday that he has cut the electoral integrity team at X in half, including the newly brought on board head of the group, Aaron Rodericks.
00:05:54.000When the news was reported, Musk replied, oh, you mean the election integrity team that was undermining election integrity?
00:07:33.000So I think Elon very, I mean you've got to be at that level to be firing rockets up into space and working on national security and stuff.
00:07:40.000And I mean he's basically, he's veering the momentum of the Ukraine-Russia war in a lot of ways by shutting down Starlink over top of Ukraine last year we found out.
00:08:26.000Whenever you think, well, they've got him now, kind of like Trump, they've got him now, and then he just pulls a rabbit out of a hat and lives to see another day.
00:08:44.000Then you see some of the stuff that's going on with, you know, China and, you know, Tesla factories there, and you're like, yes, Elon has an Elon agenda, but it benefits us.
00:08:53.000So it's like, You know, I think I wouldn't describe Elon as evil.
00:08:58.000I would actually say we're mostly aligned.
00:10:45.000My point being, hey, they're sharing a clip from our news channel and then saying, paid for by DeSantis, on the video, which they did not do.
00:11:30.000One of your supporters was saying, like, Tim's not even bald.
00:11:33.000And then the community note Tim Pool is bald, but it's only half true because like, yes, some, some, you're bald ish.
00:11:41.000You should have a community note on the community and say, fact check, Tim Pool wears a hoodie, or a beanie rather.
00:11:48.000This goes full circle though, because the dude, so what happened was, uh, someone pointed out that one of Twitter's election integrity guys was, was insulting me.
00:11:57.000And it was him saying something like, you know, if Timple had hair, I don't know, I don't remember what he said.
00:12:01.000Someone responded with, that's stupid, Timple's not even bald.
00:12:04.000Then someone community noted it saying, Timple is bald.
00:12:07.000And then I quote tweeted the Twitter guy saying, help, help, I'm being cyber-bullied.
00:12:14.000This is the guy, I'm pretty sure this guy, Aaron Roderick, that was him, he got fired, he's gone.
00:12:19.000But I think, I think he got fired because I mean, dude, you hire a guy who then immediately goes on an activist tirade across the board just insulting people, and your boss is gonna be like, dude, what are you doing?
00:12:33.000Yeah, that's... I favor the 5D chess a little bit here because, I don't know, I just get the sense that Elon knows what's up, and he goes along and he plays games and he manages to survive, but does anyone really believe that Elon Musk thinks Twitter needs an election integrity czar?
00:12:51.000When you put up that job posting, like, you have complete control over election-related discourse on one of the biggest social media platforms.
00:12:59.000What kind of person does that attract?
00:14:59.000And then I watched a skate video with one of the top pros in the world, and this is not political stuff, and they got rumble on their wall in their skate park.
00:16:00.000But no, the Daily Wire literally doesn't do this.
00:16:02.000I'm not trying to... I'm saying like a company would then go to this... Slimcast, something like that.
00:16:06.000Slimcast goes to this company and says, We want to own the rights to those ads and claim them.
00:16:13.000And then what happens is, if you get 10 million views, they sell you the rights to those other views, and now Slimcast has 80 million views.
00:16:22.000You then go to your advertisers and say, the Slimcast network gets 80 million views.
00:16:26.000What Elon Musk is doing is going to advertisers and saying, when someone sees an ad and there's a checkmark, it is a real human.
00:16:33.000For a while, the concern has been that advertisers are all being ripped off by foreign farms, bot farms, that will make fake traffic to generate ad sales, and then people are buying ads and they're wondering why they're not working.
00:16:45.000It's being ripped away, so what this has actually done is it's made ads more valuable, so it's becoming more expensive to advertise, but the ads have bigger returns, so it's actually keeping... Basically what's happening is, when a company would buy ads on these big tech platforms, half of the money is going to India or Turkey, where these farms operate out of.
00:17:05.000With what Elon is doing is it keeps those ad dollars in country where there's real people who are verified.
00:17:11.000That's why the ad sharing thing is working.
00:17:14.000Long story short, or more to the point, I should say, Elon needs to get to the next phase where he goes to prominent, high-profile individuals and says, how much do you want for your show to be an exclusive X show?
00:17:24.000We advertise it, Times Square billboards, TV commercials, YouTube ads, you name it.
00:18:33.000It adds value to the ads, but it has decreased the value of a tweet to the point where my entire timeline is just people reposting a TikTok and being like, what would you do in this situation?
00:18:48.000You can make more money, but it's decreased the value, the actual human value of the post.
00:18:53.000I think I'm getting like five grand a month.
00:18:54.000You're getting fi- man, I gotta get better tweets, what's going on?
00:18:57.000When the program first rolled out, a lot of the tweets about it were, in the interest of transparency, dot dot dot, I'm disclosing how much I'm making off of Twitter ad revenue.
00:19:11.000And it was these crazy amounts, like $17,000 a month, whatever.
00:20:17.000So I, my mid-journey journey was mostly centered around, uh, pictures of Chris Christie as baked goods because I really liked the pun of the croissants.
00:20:29.000And, uh, so I've got a lot of, of like nice flaky Christie faces that actually get negative engagement.
00:20:35.000I actually owe Twitter money at the end of the month because of them.
00:20:37.000In, in, in all reality though, like, uh, I have a tweet.
00:21:07.000Uh, well, I, I, so the reason why I quote tweet things a lot is most of my retweets are just so that I put a, I'm bookmarking them basically.
00:21:15.000I'll see a story and I'll be like, oh, that's, that's, that's big.
00:21:18.000I want to, I want to keep that in mind.
00:21:19.000So I'll quote tweet it like, whoa, and then I'll share it.
00:21:28.000It seems like he's trying to get rid of quote tweets though, or at least make them less accessible.
00:21:34.000Every time I click on a tweet now and I try to look at the quote tweets it's just like they're not visible or you have to like press five different buttons to get to like view post engagement.
00:21:44.000Because he probably wants you to reply, like, you know when you're just trying to completely dunk on someone with facts and logic?
00:21:58.000Well, the next step is, you know, when Tucker Carlson announced he was doing his show on X, everybody assumed it was a cash deal, and then Elon said, no, no, no, we're not doing that.
00:22:06.000But if Elon came out and said, like, he's wondering why Russell Brand said, all my shows are now on Rumble, and Elon's like, hey, what about us?
00:22:44.000Parliament sent a letter to the rumble executives and was like it was worded like emotional terrorism.
00:22:52.000Like we would like to know what you're doing.
00:22:55.000to protect alleged victims and you know we're concerned about protecting the creator environment and we're concerned that russell brand is making money off of his content that has nothing to do with his allegations i've been concerned about like um Advertisers polling and try and manipulating social media markets by being like, you know, if you do, if you have that person on there, we're not going to, we're not going to give our Ford automotive money to YouTube.
00:23:28.000And so you get crypto that you can use in the site to boost your posts.
00:23:30.000It's kind of like, cause so this outside force, so like, I hope X I hope he's not too reliant on advertisers because, like, he hired Linda Iaccarino and I don't know her, but I've heard that they're more concerned about, like, we don't want crappy posts to be visible, we want the bad things to be hidden and the good stuff to be seen because that's what advertisers want.
00:24:11.000Okay, they say, anger on the judge, determination that Trump inflated the value, blah blah blah, is based on an appraisal from Paul Beach County Assessor, which found the market value of the 17.5 acre property between 2011 and 2021 to be $18,000,000 and $27.6 million.
00:24:24.0002021 to be 18 million and 27.6 million.
00:24:28.000Let me first break down what is absolutely insane about this.
00:24:33.000Okay, anybody who owns property knows the tax assessed value is not what you list the property for when you sell it.
00:25:12.000Because what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna take this judge's ruling in New York, I'm gonna go look at some New York City real estate, Two to three commercial acres in Brooklyn, with a tax assessed value of $200,000, and I'm gonna go to the person selling it for $5,000,000 and say, if you don't sell this to me for $200,000, I will have you investigated for fraud.
00:25:32.000Because the value, according to this judge, is what the tax assessor says, not you.
00:27:13.000So I want you to understand, this whole plot right here, and I believe it might include this plot, I'm not sure who owns this one, but this one doesn't have a listing on it.
00:27:21.000And they said it's beach to beach, so I would imagine it's probably Trump's, but I'm not sure.
00:27:26.000Okay, it says $24.2 million on Zillow.
00:27:28.000In fact, a few years ago, it said $400.
00:28:02.000So this property, it's off the market, let's pull up the home details, it's 1.76 acres, and it's estimated value, I want to make sure this is clear, this is a Zillow estimate, not a market appraisal value.
00:28:16.000Zillow is saying this property is 56 million dollars, but Mar-a-Lago is 24.
00:28:19.000Mar-a-Lago is 24. Mar-a-Lago is 17.51 acres, beach to beach.
00:28:28.000And it's a prop- a club that generates 25 million dollars per year.
00:28:35.000This little itty bitty house right here!
00:28:37.000Is worth 2 million more than Mar-a-Lago?
00:28:40.000In what reality does- look at this one, this tiny one right, 30 million.
00:28:45.000If you pulled up here and said, oh this house is 30 million dollars, and then you look at Mar-a-Lago, how come I can't get the 17 acres, right?
00:30:56.000Kyle's completely wrong about all of this.
00:30:58.000And it's shocking, because I like Kyle, but his past few tweets on all of this stuff shows that he didn't actually look into any of it.
00:31:04.000First of all, the Trump family valued the property between $400,000 and $600,000, not $739,000.
00:31:10.000Second, why would the value of a 17 acre piece of real estate, a hard asset, only be valued based on the revenue generated by the business?
00:31:19.000If you were to remove the business outright, we're talking about a piece of property, 17 acres in Palm Beach, the comparables of the acreage, just the acreage with no property, puts this property at a billion dollars with no business on it.
00:31:34.000You add 25 million dollars a year, we're probably looking at 1.25 to 1.5 billion as a business property.
00:32:13.000So, you know, I was talking to Andy No, and he was asking if it was wrong, if I thought it was wrong that people on the right keep calling the left communists because they call people on the right fascists, and I'm like, well, the right's not fascist, but the left is communist.
00:32:27.000And I don't mean literally every single person, but there's the banality of evil and malicious evil.
00:32:31.000There are people who are working in service to communism while not realizing it, and there are people who are literally doing it.
00:32:36.000They make the same argument on the right about fascism.
00:32:38.000The only problem is Dave Smith, who they call a fascist, completely disagrees with everything Trump does, or 99% of it.
00:32:46.000So you can't say he's in service to something he opposes outright.
00:32:49.000But this is the narrative they're going with right now.
00:32:52.000And now they're actually just... I mean, I'm looking at this.
00:32:56.000I tweeted in response to what Kyle said.
00:32:59.000Carl Benjamin, who was just here, said, you were right.
00:33:01.000They eventually all just become communists.
00:33:03.000They are now basically saying, if the state says so, it is so.
00:33:08.000If, I mean, one can talk about all the isms all day long, and communism and socialism are a consequence of liberalism, you know, centuries ago.
00:33:17.000But even just the libs have this problem, which is liberalism boils down to maximizing individual autonomy.
00:33:24.000And what that boils down to, I mean, we see this in the absurdities of all of the identity ideologies that have proliferated today.
00:33:31.000But what that boils down to is a diminishing of the importance of objective reality, of
00:33:36.000things like law, of things like, I don't know, real estate prices relative to Palm
00:34:39.000Or they can come up with some silly fakakta kind of legal document that says, well, actually, in reparation for the war, you need to pay us X amount.
00:34:47.000But it's just a legal veneer to cover what is just Brutal, basic politics.
00:34:53.000And that's what's going on right here.
00:34:55.000So if this decision is thrown out, which it certainly should be, they'll just do some other version of it.
00:35:01.000Because none of this has anything to do with the value of Mar-a-Lago or Trump's businesses or the bank loans he got or any of it.
00:35:06.000It obviously only has to do with the 2024 election.
00:35:09.000It has to do with the fact that they view this man as a danger to their political project.
00:35:13.000And so if this stuff doesn't hold up in court, They'll just kill him.
00:35:18.000At a certain point, they're just gonna kill him.
00:36:17.000They definitely don't want to make him a martyr, but that's why they invented the heart attack gun and stuff where it doesn't look like an assassination.
00:36:22.000It's just like, he died in his hotel room.
00:37:06.000If anything bad happens to Trump, whether it's him being mugged, or his plane crashing, or he just has a heart attack from Big Macs and Diet Coke, he will be immortalized.
00:37:18.000You want to strip them of their wealth, you want them to fade into obscurity and be forgotten about, you want their children to have no heirs, no titles, you don't want any of that, because that's just a headache in the future.
00:37:27.000So they're trying to take it all away from him and his family.
00:37:38.000Strain him so he can't run and can't be as influential.
00:37:41.000They are basically just attaching as many weights as possible to Trump so they make him ineffective.
00:37:47.000The next thing we just saw them do, a judge summarily ruled, that means there's no trial, a judge just banged a gavel, the Trump Organization is to be dissolved in 10 days.
00:37:58.000Some random judge just said, yeah, now do they be like, okay, nah, we're gonna do some real law?
00:38:04.000Uh, well, they're filing an appeal, but what will happen, because we are in, we are in civil strife territory, civil war territory, this judge says it, you know for a fact New York Democrat government is going to be like, oh well.
00:38:20.000There's, there's, there's not going to be some principled person in the Democrat trifecta New York state going, well, I mean, this is a little crazy for the judge to rule this.
00:38:30.000I don't think, no, they're going to be like, okay, Hopefully there's wealthy businessmen in the Democratic Party that are going to be like, this could happen to me.
00:38:37.000If they can just go bang bang and dissolve people's companies.
00:38:39.000There's never a selfless thought like that.
00:40:41.000I think that's what happens if you die and there's no one else or it goes to your next-of-kin or whatever a
00:40:44.000Corporation doesn't have any of that the corporation is gone. Where does the property go?
00:40:48.000I imagine it would be the same as if somebody died. I just don't know
00:40:51.000I mean that's just so that is like Fidel Castro level stuff, and I don't I don't doubt that they want to do it
00:40:58.000I just can't imagine the American people put up with that.
00:41:02.000I assume there have got to be some reasonable Democrats.
00:41:05.000I know that's a bad assumption, but people who don't want the entire system of business law to be totally upended in the United States just because they hate the mean orange man.
00:43:39.000Well, it's not like, you know, it's not a school like, you know, Stanford or Harvard or something, meaning if you send your kid to Trump University, the kid won't end up trans, you know, or hating you when they graduate.
00:44:06.000Trump tried to start a thing, got a bunch of people in, went nowhere, and then it fell apart, and they were like, yo, what the, you know.
00:44:12.000Yeah, but does anyone really think Trump University is more of a scam than like half of the actually accredited universities in America today?
00:45:18.000Well, what they did was, when they stole all the Apple products and went outside, the alarms on the dices went off saying you're being tracked, so they smashed them all.
00:45:50.000I think police serve a purpose, but the problem is, when we get instances of police impropriety, we are not likely to get accountability.
00:45:58.000I can speak to an example when, the example I often give, of when I filmed the police wrongly arrest a photographer in New York, who then filed a false police report and lied, and additionally lied under oath to try and convict a guy who had done nothing wrong.
00:46:10.000The police claimed that he was standing in the middle of the street blocking traffic when he was on the sidewalk and I filmed him on the sidewalk and they arrested him.
00:46:32.000The leftists propagandize that, amplify it, and then lie about other instances because this seed means you get a George Floyd, you get an Ahmaud Arbery, no one will trust the police.
00:46:42.000It doesn't matter if you're a fan of the cops or not.
00:46:45.000The more stories you get and the more videos you get of police impropriety going unpunished, you'll end up with people like this saying, the police have no jurisdiction over me.
00:46:56.000Why would I listen to these gang members?
00:47:00.000If, and this is what I've explained before, if a gang member steps into your house and says, I'm the boss now, do as I say, you'd be like, get out of here.
00:47:05.000If a cop shows up, now you're like, okay, I gotta call my lawyer, they have a warrant, now I gotta listen.
00:47:10.000What's happening now is police are being viewed no different than another gang.
00:47:14.000Now think about the political equivalent to this.
00:47:17.000If politicians in Congress can insider trade with no accountability, we know they're corrupt.
00:47:22.000We know they're taking these dirty deals.
00:47:23.000We know they're playing dirty games in politics.
00:47:26.000We now know that Democrats are going after Trump supporters.
00:47:29.000They're going after the president himself.
00:47:34.000You're going to get factions of, in combination with this and the politics, what you will see is regular guys in their neighborhoods starting neighborhood watches.
00:47:45.000They're going to say the police won't stop the crime, the police can't be held accountable, the government is going to arrest us, we have to protect ourselves.
00:47:53.000What happens when you get 56 different factions all throughout the United States in their small town areas asserting their jurisdiction outside of the county, the state, or the federal government?
00:48:06.000A birth of a nation. Yeah, it's look, it's the way you're describing it is to the extreme extent,
00:48:13.000but at the smaller level, you know, when people are just starting these community watches and
00:48:18.000they're maybe just arming themselves and they're just making sure that if you exercise your Second
00:48:23.000Amendment rights that people are going to be more polite around you. That's all good stuff, you know.
00:48:28.000I don't want to sound like I'm just trying to make lemonade out of lemons here, and I'd like to avoid civil war if we can do that, but if people have a little bit more situational awareness now, and people don't spend their time hanging around downtown Philly because it's gone up in flames, and people start exercising their rights and working with their neighbors to say, hey, you know, we're not gonna Try that in a small town.
00:49:31.000There will be people in a neighborhood, in a suburb, in a blue state, that will have guns.
00:49:37.000The police will show up and say, we are coming to take your guns away.
00:49:41.000And those people are going to be like, F you, no you're not, because you don't protect us from the flash mobs and the roving gangs that are shooting at us and killing people.
00:49:51.000And the police are going to say, shut your mouth and get on your knees.
00:49:54.000Welcome to a modern Lexington and Concord.
00:49:57.000I don't think that that'll, it'll come to that though.
00:50:00.000It seems like maybe, maybe because we got the internet, maybe because we're American, we've got this culture that the cops are kind of like pissed off at this.
00:50:06.000Like local cops don't want to go harass people and take their weapons.
00:50:10.000They don't want to create that kind of animosity.
00:50:23.000If the police were ordered to arrest local community members in their own city because foreign nationals had entered, do you think the cops would be like, I'm not gonna arrest the guy who lives here because you want me to protect a foreign citizen?
00:51:23.000The American Revolution took 20 years.
00:51:25.000It started in 1764 and it went until 1783.
00:51:28.000The revolution started one year and a month before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
00:51:34.000And the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which wasn't really a battle, it was a bunch of farmers shooting at, effectively, police.
00:51:40.000The reason why that marked the start, the shot heard around the world, was because before this, everyone said exactly what you were just saying right now.
00:51:46.000No one's going to stand up for themselves.
00:51:48.000No one's ever going to get into conflict with the regulars.
00:51:50.000No one will stand against the Crown until one day, when the Crown said, we're coming to take your guns, and they went to the militias in the rural parts of Massachusetts, and they said, over our cold dead hands, someone started shooting, we don't know who.
00:52:02.000I think it's fair to assume it was the Americans who opened fire on the Crown first.
00:52:06.000Some drunk, some drunk militia man like, I don't think that was it at all.
00:52:11.000I think 300 regulars marching down the street pointing muskets at you and one guy, 18 farmers, were just like, I'm done with it.
00:52:23.000Because all we ask for is like, guys, it's really simple.
00:52:26.000Police, you can't arrest a local resident because they're upset you shipped in non-citizens to their neighborhood and are giving them their tax dollars.
00:52:35.000Non-citizen illegally enters the country.
00:52:38.000gets a free bus ride and or plane ride to your hometown to staten island to where you live Your tax dollars to New York City are now paying these non-citizens who also have police protections from you and special protected status that AOC has fought for.
00:52:56.000They're working underground jobs and they're not paying taxes.
00:53:00.000I'm deeply concerned about things like that.
00:53:02.000I'm deeply concerned about the fact that Colorado has no abortion restrictions and Oklahoma has total abortion restrictions, hyperpolarization, but most importantly, the immigration thing, I think, is the scariest thing.
00:53:14.000But think about how effective it's been.
00:53:17.000We're paying attention to it now in particular because you see the crazy stuff in Staten Island, or you see Lampedusa gets overrun with more migrants than citizens of the island.
00:53:26.000But this has been going on now for about 65 years.
00:53:29.000The movement of people into the United States over the last 65 years is the largest movement of people ever in recorded history.
00:53:36.000So, you know, the hour is a bit late on this issue.
00:53:40.000And there's this bizarre fact that no matter which party you elect, you just get more more migration.
00:53:45.000The hour is a bit late, but all that means to me is that it'll be worse than it should have been if 50 years ago or whenever it started, people just said, hey, we're stopping this right now.
00:54:28.000And then one day they wake up and there's a bus being shipped in of non-citizens and they're saying, hey, your tax dollars, everyone's got to pitch in for these guys.
00:54:36.000And they're like, wait, wait, wait, these 20 year old men from El Salvador and well, sorry, not El Salvador, El Salvador is doing really well and everyone's moving back.
00:54:41.000But from Guatemala, seriously though, but from Honduras and Guatemala who are fleeing here, then when they come out and they say, hey, get this bus out of here, the cop looks him straight in the eyes with a joker grin and says, I will crack you over the skull if you stop what we are doing to your home.
00:55:04.000I guess, though, that's my point, is that even the Republican borough with the tough Italians, Staten Islanders, most people haven't even heard this story.
00:55:14.000And so, look, maybe something... Right, right, but...
00:55:17.000You're saying just wait, and it'll... Well, so, if the revolutionary period started in 1764, and it took 11 years to get to the point where people were opening fire on regulars, you know, we could be eight years away.
00:55:31.000Or, if the Strauss House generational theory is correct, then we're looking at maybe four... I think in four years we're in deep trenches of serious conflict in our urban sense.
00:55:47.000I agree be a global firestorm or something like that. We're like if the if the US destabilizes in this way
00:55:53.000China immediately takes Taiwan and and try and take the Western United States. It would be like land grab
00:55:59.000Central like at the Civil War the the Revolutionary War is a French opportunity to take control of the the Atlantic
00:56:05.000Ocean By demolishing the British and they did that so when you
00:56:09.000make a good point to Ian Which is you've already got this this difficult situation.
00:56:14.000We're in where the the West, led by America, is decaying and China is largely on the rise.
00:56:19.000So you're seeing what people are calling the inevitability of a bipolar world already, so cracking U.S.
00:56:25.000hegemony for the first time since the Cold War is over, and frankly even a little earlier than that.
00:56:30.000So when you have a shift in the world order to that degree, it almost always ends in war, in a world war.
00:56:38.000So is it possible that just as we're on the brink of our civil war and, you know, pulling out our muskets to shoot our cousins, Uh, that we've find ourselves in a global conflict already where the stakes are even higher.
00:56:49.000Does Russia advance knowing that the United States is completely destabilized?
00:56:54.000And if Russia does do a larger push, say with nuclear artillery, and I use that as an example because I'm sure they have other weapons and other techniques that could be divisive and powerful.
00:57:03.000But a nuclear weapon creates a hyper-polarization in the United States.
00:57:08.000One side, the left, saying, this is our casus belli.
00:57:29.000Do you think, after a nuclear artillery is dropped in Ukraine, that there's... I mean, this would... extreme political instability already in this country.
00:57:38.000They're not gonna have the public support to warrant sending more troops, more dollars, more resources to Ukraine.
00:57:43.000We now know, thanks to CBS, surprisingly, that the US is not only funding the war, we're funding the small businesses of Ukraine.
00:58:08.000I mean as we're speaking they're on the floor of the house right now duking this out.
00:58:12.000But the thing I love about this government shutdown, look we now shut down the government every year so I don't even pay attention to it really.
00:58:18.000This is just this year's shutdown and the thing I love about it Is that it's going to show you who really runs your government.
00:58:25.000Because just as you say, we're going to shut down all non-essential services, but those paychecks to the shop owner in Ukraine, they're going to keep going.
00:58:33.000It doesn't matter what the people in Congress say.
00:58:36.000I think most people in this country don't care.
00:58:40.000You tell them that textiles are going to Ukraine, they're going to be like, I can't see it, right?
00:58:50.000So you're familiar with table rake versus time rake?
00:58:54.000No. Okay, go to a casino and most of them do what's called a table rake where that's every hand,
00:59:01.000everyone gets dealt two cards, everybody puts money in and then you can increase the wager
00:59:06.000and if you don't want to pay it, you fold. The casinos typically take five to seven dollars
00:59:11.000out of the pot as what's called a table rake. So every hand that's dealt, they will pull 10%
00:59:17.000up to six dollars and put it in their bin.
00:59:20.000That means if they're doing 20 to 30 hands per hour times $6, some card clubs do what's called a table rake, which is, I'm sorry, a time rake.
01:00:13.000But you know, what they're really gonna do is, it's all funny money, and we're so incredibly in debt at this point that people don't even pay attention to it.
01:00:21.000And well, even if the Congress doesn't approve more appropriations for Ukraine, which is possible, What's gonna happen is they're gonna just discover another six billion dollars the part of remember this was a few months ago They discovered six billion dollars.
01:00:34.000They meant to send to Ukraine and that that wasn't really true That's not really what happened What really happened is the political powers who were running our war in Ukraine our side of the war in Ukraine?
01:00:44.000They decided that Ukraine needed some more stuff so they retroactively changed the price of the weapons that we sent over and It's gonna be interesting to see how people respond to the fact that our government shuts down and we keep paying Ukrainians.
01:00:56.000It's like, well, your government won't pay you, government employee, but the Ukrainians get their paycheck.
01:00:59.000But it's okay, we're not spending any more money because we just retroactively changed the prices.
01:02:14.000You can't speak for Daily Wire, but I kind of ask you just in general, the talk around the office and stuff, we talk a lot about the solutions to the political is like in the private sector.
01:02:27.000They're much more into, you know, doing things through the private sector and culture.
01:02:32.000I want to use the heavy hand of the law, baby.
01:02:35.000Look, there's a role for both of these things, but I just fear sometimes when conservatives focus exclusively on politics being downstream of culture, we forget that the law is also a teacher.
01:02:46.000And I think sometimes what politicians do is they use that phrase, which is true enough in itself, politics is downstream of culture, they use that as an excuse not to do anything and not to pass any laws and not to wield any power.
01:02:58.000They just say, oh no, we need to make better movies or whatever.
01:09:47.000Put people back to work by no longer paying them more money to stay at home.
01:09:52.000Stabilize the US dollar itself and rescind a majority of those unconstitutional federal regulations that are hampering our economy.
01:10:01.000That is how we unleash American exceptionalism.
01:10:05.000And that's not a Democratic vision or a Republican vision.
01:10:08.000That is an American vision that we embrace economic growth and capitalism is still the best system known to man to lift us up from poverty.
01:11:27.000And I gotta tell you, while the union bosses are talking about class warfare and talking about disparity in wages, I have to tell you, I really believe what's driving that is Bidenomics has failed.
01:11:40.000Wages are not keeping up with inflation.
01:11:42.000Auto workers and all American workers are feeling it.
01:11:45.000Families are struggling in this economy.
01:11:47.000And Joe Biden's Green New Deal agenda is good for Beijing and bad for Detroit.
01:11:54.000We ought to repeal the Green New Deal, get rid of the mandates and subsidies that are driving American gasoline, automotive manufacturing into the graveyard.
01:12:05.000And beyond that also, As president of the United States, I'll be standing with workers all across America and I'll be standing for the right to work of every American to join a union or not join a union as they decide.
01:14:32.000And when you decide that we're going to take all of your taxpayer money, take a billion dollars, subsidize a certain type of vehicle, and the batteries come from China.
01:14:40.000China controls 85% of the rare earth minerals.
01:14:43.000They're called rare earth because they're- I think I'm becoming an unironic Bergen.
01:14:47.000This is like one of the best answers I've ever seen.
01:14:49.000In Indonesia, in Africa, they're literally destroying the planet so that we can make
01:14:54.000a battery that's in a car subsidized here.
01:14:57.000That's why they're striking because they need to.
01:14:58.000It's the most subsidized part of any of these debates.
01:15:01.000Joe Biden, this strike is at Joe Biden's feet.
01:15:53.000And now the Biden administration has put another $5 trillion on and counting.
01:15:58.000They have failed and they're in the spot they're in now because none of them are willing to tell the truth.
01:16:02.000None of them are willing to take on the difficult issues.
01:16:05.000They just want to keep kicking the can down the road.
01:16:07.000And the inflation that Nikki spoke about is absolutely right.
01:16:10.000And it's caused by government spending.
01:16:13.000And that's why people all across this country are suffering tonight.
01:16:17.000And yet we don't get any answers because Joe Biden hides in his basement and won't answer as to why he's raising the debt the way he's done.
01:16:25.000And Donald Trump, he hides behind the walls of his golf clubs and won't show up here to answer questions like all the rest of us are up here to answer.
01:17:58.000And I vetoed wasteful spending when it came to my desk.
01:18:01.000And as your president, when they send me a bloating spending bill that's going to cause your prices to go up, I'm going to take out this veto pen and I'm going to send it right back to them.
01:18:15.000Some families are spending up to half of their income on childcare, and they're having to decide, is it worth it for me to work, or does it not make sense for me financially?
01:18:20.000Like it's not gonna, it's almost certainly not gonna work, but he's gotta do it.
01:18:24.000Some families are spending up to half of their income on childcare and they're having to
01:18:30.000decide is it worth it for me to work or does it not make sense for me financially?
01:18:35.000In three days, the billions of dollars in pandemic era funding is going to end and 70,000
01:18:48.000And for the moms and dads out there who are worried, what can you tell them?
01:18:52.000If you weren't able to get it through the Congress, how could you do it as president?
01:18:57.000Certainly one of the things I did as a member of the Congress was to make sure that we protected the Head Start programs around the country, giving people the opportunity to pick and choose the place that they send their children.
01:19:08.000The challenges that we see today Every time it's him.
01:22:38.000And by the way, they announced during the presidential race that we're going to let it go.
01:22:42.000And we need to have a president who acts like I did as governor enforce the law.
01:22:50.000First and foremost, and that means what I'll do on day one is sign an executive order to send the National Guard to partner with Customs and Border Patrol to make sure that we stop the flow of fentanyl over the border, but also to make sure that we send a much different message.
01:23:06.000We want you here in this country to fill the six million vacant jobs we have, but only if you come here to follow the law, and only if you come here legally.
01:23:15.000The majority of Americans want to drastically reduce all immigration.
01:23:18.000We will apprehend you, and we will send you back across the border from which you came.
01:23:23.000And the fact is that until we set a law and order agenda in this country, not only now, but in the future, we won't be able to continue this.
01:26:26.000And the reason why we're in this mess is because elites in DC for far too long have chosen surrender over strength when it comes to the CCP.
01:26:35.000Some people in our country got rich, our industrial base got hollowed out and they have been able to build the second most We need a totally new approach to China.
01:26:46.000We are going to have real hard power in the Indo-Pacific, like Reagan, to deter their ambitions.
01:26:52.000We're going to have economic independence from China, where we're decoupling our economy.
01:26:56.000And we are going to go after the cultural power they have in this country.
01:27:00.000As governor of Florida, I ban the CCP from buying land in our state.
01:27:04.000We should do that all across these United States.
01:27:07.000We shouldn't have them in our universities.
01:27:10.000You see a country in decline, our power's in decline, China's going to surpass us this decade, and if they do that, that's going to affect every single American household.
01:27:22.000As your president, I am not going to let that happen.
01:27:25.000I'm going to reverse this country's decline.
01:27:27.000We are going to choose strength, not surrender when it comes to the CCP.
01:27:34.000Under Joe Biden, we are a country in retreat.
01:27:37.000You proposed, quote, universal deportation for all undocumented immigrants and their children, even if the children are citizens of the United States.
01:27:46.000Under what legal premise will you expel U.S.
01:28:07.000I favor ending birthright citizenship for the kids of illegal immigrants in this country.
01:28:13.000Now the left will howl about the Constitution and the 14th Amendment.
01:28:17.000The difference between me and them is I've actually read the 14th Amendment.
01:28:20.000What it says is that all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the laws and jurisdiction thereof are citizens.
01:28:31.000So nobody believes that the kid of a Mexican diplomat in this country enjoys birthright citizenship.
01:28:37.000Not a judge or legal scholar in this country will disagree with me on that.
01:28:40.000Well, if the kid of a Mexican diplomat doesn't enjoy birthright citizenship, then neither does the kid of an illegal migrant who broke the law to come here.
01:28:49.000And as the father of two sons, it is hard for me to look them in the eye and say, you have to follow the law when our own government fails to follow its own laws.
01:28:58.000That's how we really go the distance and solve this problem and restore the rule of law in the United States of America, because that is part of what it even means to be an American.
01:29:09.000Senator Scott, you oppose ending birthright citizenship.
01:29:13.000You were saying there's some issues with common law?
01:29:15.000It comes from the Wong-Kim-Arc decision in 1898, but it goes back further into the English common law, centuries and centuries back, that if you're born in one's region, under one's reign, then you are a subject thereof.
01:29:29.000So it's a tough legal argument to make, but I think as pertains to the 14th, I think he's right.
01:29:36.000No, surviving a Supreme Court argument is something I can't tell you.
01:29:41.000But from a perspective of the Constitution, I think it's simple.
01:29:46.000That clearly it was designed for slavery and not for illegal immigration.
01:29:53.000We're having a conversation about the things that are happening on this stage.
01:29:56.000We think about the fact that Vivek just said we were all good people, and I appreciate that, because last debate, he said we were all bought and paid for.
01:30:04.000And I thought about that for a little while and said, you know, I can't imagine how you could say that, knowing that you were just in business with the Chinese Communist Party.
01:30:15.000The same people that funded Hunter Biden, millions of dollars, was a partner of yours as well.
01:31:11.000And when I started my next company, Strive, right when it opened up years ago.
01:31:16.000Right when I started my next company, Strive, to compete against BlackRock, excuse me, to compete against BlackRock, I made a commitment that we would never do business in China, and I will say something, yes?
01:31:29.000Well, in fact, I was interrupted by a lot of people here, and I want to be respectful, because I believe these are good people, but I do not believe in these, we're sitting here in the Reagan Library, in the honor of Ronald We need to cut the mics of everyone that's not talking and let one at a time.
01:34:04.000We cut $100 billion out of the federal budget.
01:34:08.000You know, this is the old GOP, right, which is just cut, cut, cut.
01:34:12.000I don't know that that attack lands on dissenters, because the thing people like about dissenters Is that he just brutally wields the government against our enemies like Disney?
01:34:20.000So I don't really care if he raises... I don't care what he spends it on, you know?
01:35:29.000And to be fair, the only pass Donald Trump gets is not based on his health, not based on his diet, it's based on the fact that he's the closest person to firing people who need to be fired.
01:36:02.000Yes, like prime rib for breakfast, I assume he was eating.
01:36:05.000I think you're right, because I shouldn't be too hard on Chris Christie's weight, because I think he might actually be a guest in the future.
01:36:10.000He's gonna be like, Ian, I heard what you said about my weight.
01:36:31.000Yeah Well, that's a lesson I've talked about before when I was a teenager and I watched a skate video and me and my friends were all just smack-talking these skaters about how cool we thought we were and how they were losers with their goofy clothes.
01:36:42.000And then we go to California and end up meeting them and they were super nice to us and gave us free food and gear and they were like, you guys rock, man.
01:36:49.000I was like, I feel really bad for talking bad about these guys for no reason.
01:37:19.000She tells her constituents, who are yelling at her, no more illegal immigrants.
01:37:24.000She screams over them, we're going to give them your tax dollars, we're going to give them your homes, and we're going to give them special protected status.
01:37:36.000Once you meet a lot of politicians, you realize that many of them are kind of boring, and Some of them are, it's not that they're evil, they're just like, they don't care that much about much of anything, but a lot of them actually are like nice, good people who were like a little bit nerdy in school and, you know, they're just, yeah, it's kind of sad because if they were truly just menacing evil monsters, it would explain why the country is so degraded.
01:38:03.000But, like, a lot of them are just kinda, you know, showing up and doing their job.
01:38:08.000Yeah, getting a job on the bridge of the Death Star, and like, why does everyone hate me?
01:38:24.000You know, we know the ones we like, we know the ones we don't like, and then- I have had full conversations with members of Congress not recognizing them at all.
01:38:45.000It's Reagan's library for the second Republican presidential debate.
01:38:49.000I do want to just remind everyone, there's one minute for questions, 30 seconds for follow-up, and we mentioned each other, that means it's your question.
01:39:17.000But they are stretched as well and they could not handle all of the lawlessness, the shoplifting, all the carjackings, the armed robberies.
01:39:36.000Well look Dana, I'm the only one on this stage who's done it.
01:39:39.000For seven years I ran the fifth largest office in this country, at the U.S.
01:39:44.000Attorney's Office in New Jersey, and we set records for the number of prosecutions that we brought that still have not been broken.
01:39:50.000And the reason was that we went after the crime that was affecting people's lives.
01:39:54.000And as President, I will appoint an Attorney General and instruct that Attorney General that you are to put all the resources that are necessary to bring our cities back under control.
01:40:56.000You fired a couple of prosecutors in your state, but as governor, I mean, sorry, as
01:41:01.000president, you would not have the ability to do that.
01:41:03.000How do you think about dealing with the root causes of crime, especially this revolving
01:41:07.000door of the criminals, they just get out and come back and commit another crime?
01:41:12.000Well, the crime in these cities is one of the strongest signs of the decaying of America.
01:41:16.000We can't be successful as a country if people aren't even safe to live in places like Los Angeles and San Francisco.
01:41:23.000Just being in Southern California over the last couple days, my wife and I have met three people who have been mugged on the street, and that would have never happened 10 or 20 years ago.
01:43:41.000We're going to stay on the topic of crime because it affects all of us.
01:43:46.000Governor Burgum, for the first time ever, a Univision poll found that mass shootings and gun safety are one of the most important issues for Latino voters.
01:43:57.000Mental health concerns are not unique to the United States, but gun violence is.
01:44:04.000What is your specific plan to curb gun violence?
01:44:15.000Left seems to be just completely bent on prosecuting law-abiding citizens that are gun owners because every solution they have to this is take away the Second Amendment rights of Americans and somehow that's going to solve the problem.
01:44:28.000But all these cities that we're talking about that you showed the videos of tonight, they have some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
01:44:34.000So we know that that's not what's working.
01:44:36.000What we have to do is get back to the core issues about the family.
01:44:40.000We have to get back to behavioral health and mental health.
01:44:42.000We've got to get back to actually enforcing the law as these people talked about.
01:44:46.000And like we've done in North Dakota where we've got the goal and we're on the track
01:44:49.000to be the most military friendly state in the nation.
01:44:50.000He legitimately might get a bump out of this.
01:44:52.000We've got the most military and the most support of what we're doing as a law enforcement because
01:44:57.000the morale is down because we've been defunding the police because they've been attacked in
01:45:02.000The police have become the bad guys when they're the one.
01:45:04.000There's all these jobs available in America.
01:45:06.000Why would you be a policeman if people don't respect them?
01:45:08.000Every time I see a policeman, the first thing I say is thank you.
01:45:11.000And so does everybody else in my family and most of the people in our state because they know we have to respect the people that are out there defending us every single day.
01:46:22.000So it is our job to make sure that never happens.
01:46:24.000But it's also our job to make sure that 17-year-olds don't turn to Percocet via Snapchat.
01:46:30.000We have to bring back mental health care in this country.
01:46:33.000Not with pump and pharmaceuticals, but with faith-based approaches that restore purpose and meaning in the next generation of Americans.
01:46:41.000Many of them are getting it through social media.
01:46:43.000And this isn't a Republican point or a Democrat point, but if you're 16 years old or under, you should not be using an addictive social media product.
01:46:52.000This is something that we can both agree on and we can revive both the mental health of this country while stopping the fentanyl epidemic that will kill more people this year than who died on 9-11 and I refuse to be a passive bystander sitting in the White House like the hollowed out husk of a current president we have.
01:47:09.000We will step up and address this problem to stand for Americans and our children.
01:48:46.000Look, I'm someone that believes that justice delayed is justice denied.
01:48:51.000And as a father of three, as a grandfather of three beautiful little girls, I am sick and tired of these mass shootings happening in the United States of America.
01:49:01.000And if I'm President of the United States, I'm going to go to the Congress of the United States, and we're going to pass a federal expedited death penalty for anyone involved in a mass shooting so that they will meet their fate in months, not years.
01:49:21.000The Parkland shooter, Ron, is actually going to spend the rest of his life behind bars in Florida.
01:49:54.000You know, my former running mate, Donald Trump, actually has a plan to start to consolidate more power in Washington, D.C., consolidate more power in the executive branch.
01:50:04.000If I'm president of the United States, it's my intention to make the federal government smaller by returning to the states those resources and programs that are rightfully theirs under the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.
01:50:17.000That means all Obamacare funding, all housing funding, all HHS funding, all of it goes back to the states.
01:50:25.000We'll shut down the Federal Department of Education.
01:51:05.000You see insurance rates are going through the roof.
01:51:07.000People that are going to get groceries.
01:51:09.000I spoke with a woman in Iowa and she said, you know, for the first time in my life, I'm having to take things out of my grocery cart when I get to the checkout line because the total goes up so quickly.
01:51:20.000So this is very real and people are hurting out there.
01:51:23.000So we've got to address the underlying problem with Bidenomics, the overspending, taking all Biden's rules and regulations.
01:51:31.000I'm going to throw them in the trash can on day one.
01:51:33.000You're not going to have to worry about that.
01:51:35.000We're going to open up all of our energy.
01:51:36.000We will be energy dominant in this country that will lower your gas prices.
01:51:41.000And what we need to do with health care is recognize our health care is putting patients at the back of the bus.
01:51:47.000We have big pharma, big insurance, and big government, and we need to tackle that and have more power for the people and the doctor-patient relationship.
01:51:56.000Why is your record in Florida on insurance worse than the national average?
01:52:05.000Of course, we've had a population boom.
01:52:07.000We also don't have Uh, a lot of welfare benefits in Florida.
01:52:11.000You know, we're basically saying, we wanna, this is a field of dreams, you can do well in the state, but we're not gonna be like California and have massive numbers of people, um, on government programs without work requirements.
01:52:21.000We believe you work, and you gotta do that, and so that goes for all the welfare benefits, and you know what that's done, Stuart?
01:52:27.000Our unemployment rate is the lowest amongst any big state, we have the highest GDP growth amongst any big state, and even CNBC, no fan of mine, rank for an unexpected question.
01:53:12.000And they said, honey, go ahead and take it because you're paying for it anyway.
01:53:15.000Why is it that when we got the bill, the insurance company and the hospital negotiated the bill for her without her having anything to do with it?
01:53:23.000When I am president, we will break all of it.
01:53:26.000From the insurance company, to the hospitals, to the doctor's offices, to the PBMs, to the pharmaceutical companies.
01:53:31.000We will make it all transparent because when you do that, you will realize that's what the problem is.
01:53:36.000Second thing is you've got to deal with tort law.
01:53:39.000The doctors don't give you the 10 tests because they want to, it's because of the 90% chance they'll get sued.
01:53:45.000And then we need to bring competition back to healthcare, get rid of certificate of need systems, and make sure that they can compete.
01:53:52.000Is she running for Congress, or is she running for the president?
01:53:56.000Right, yeah, you know, this is an issue with both her answers and Ron's last answers.
01:54:02.000They were actually quite good and substantive and, you know, in the weeds.
01:54:07.000And that doesn't often serve a presidential campaign.
01:54:13.000I mean, he could lead, he could push around Capitol Hill, but yeah, that's a good point.
01:54:20.000I will say, excuse me Tim, I have to ask you.
01:54:23.000It's because the federal government got involved the same way they did with EVs and they said we're gonna subsidize a particular kind of software back in 2008 under Obama and they said hey we're gonna do this it's gonna make everybody more productive.
01:54:37.000All of you that are watching have been to a doctor's office when the doctors got his back to you and their hands on a keyboard.
01:54:42.000The only industry in the world that's ever absorbed one trillion dollars of IT and became I'm not kidding.
01:56:15.000I'm like, I want to get back to skating as soon as I can, and I need to make sure, I need to know if this is like, I need surgery, is it a serious injury, is it a tear, or is it like, take aspirin and you're old, right?
01:56:52.000I get some advice from a good, a trusted health professional friend who says Cellular Performance Institute, they're in Tijuana.
01:57:00.000And I hit them up and they're like, we can have you out in two days, immediately get your MRIs done, immediately get a doctor consultation, and give you the general treatments in a matter of days after diagnosis.
01:57:13.000And so the good news is I did not need a hip injection.
01:57:17.000I actually just got a generalized treatment and they were like, look, you've got traumatic hip injury.
01:58:09.000So the Cellular Performance Institute is the state-of-the-art, highest-end research, and the issue is that The amount of time and money it takes to go through clinical trials in the United States is prohibitive.
01:58:22.000And so, you've got research coming out of universities that's been tested, been done, it works, but now we gotta do our multi-layered test in the United States.
01:58:31.000You've got revolving door policies, you've got whose wheels are getting greased, things like this.
01:58:37.000But let's not even talk about the experimental medical stuff.
01:58:57.000What they do in Mexico is they extract your blood, take platelet-rich plasma, and inject it around the site, which rapidly increases healing.
01:59:07.000They don't, my understanding is typically you don't get that here in the United States.
01:59:11.000Not only that, it's like a couple hundred bucks, whereas like in the United States, it's like a thousand, two thousand, three thousand dollars.
01:59:16.000In Mexico, of course, they might also sell your kidney.
01:59:18.000So that while they're in there, you know, they... But you go to, like, here's the thing, man.
01:59:22.000That's where my mind goes when I think about how healthcare works in other countries.
01:59:38.0002.30 I'm sitting in this in this clinic In a recliner chair, looking at the beach in Tijuana as dolphins are jumping in the air, and there's a seal on the ground, I'm like, this is nuts.
01:59:52.000And they bring, so you get breakfast and lunch, as you're getting your IVs, you're getting your blood tests and all that stuff, you're sitting in this chair, and they bring fresh-squeezed organic orange juice.
02:00:03.000All the food they make is organic, health food.
02:00:33.000This has even been called education homicide.
02:00:37.000You say school choice is the answer, but South Carolina, your home state, still has not enacted universal school choice, and even the current expansion won't be fully implemented until 2027.
02:00:48.000Parents can't wait four years for a fix, so what would you do right now?
02:00:53.000Well, and school choice isn't the only answer, but I'll tell you it's not out of a lack of trying that we didn't try and get school choice in South Carolina.
02:01:00.000What I'll tell you, first of all, is we have to acknowledge the fact that 67% of our 8th graders are not proficient in reading or math.
02:01:07.000Over 80% of our 8th graders aren't proficient in history or civics.
02:01:11.000And recently they came out and said our 12 and 13 year olds are scoring at the lowest levels they've been scoring in reading and math in decades.
02:01:20.000So the first thing we've got to do is we've got to make sure we catch our kids back up.
02:02:02.000But we've got to get parents back included.
02:02:05.000We've got to quit spending time on this DEI and CRT and instead focus on financial literacy, on digital literacy, and on making sure that our kids know what they need to do to have the jobs of the next generation.
02:02:18.000On the subject of education, a question for Governor Christie.
02:02:24.000Students in your state are getting high marks on their report cards.
02:02:29.000But minorities are not doing well with math and reading.
02:02:32.000Black and Hispanic students are averaging 29 points lower than white students in New Jersey.
02:02:46.000Before I was governor, that gap was close to 50%.
02:02:48.000I was waiting for him to put an empanada up on the podium and take a bite.
02:02:50.000And what we did was institute more charter schools and more renaissance schools and more public school choice.
02:02:57.000In New Jersey, with innovative solutions in cities like Camden, where now we took what was the worst school district in America during my time, and we have now increased that by nearly 40% in terms of their proficiency.
02:03:11.000It can be done when you give people choice.
02:03:13.000But let's tell the truth to everybody about what this is.
02:03:17.000This public school system is no longer run by the public.
02:03:21.000It is run by the teachers unions in this country.
02:04:41.000Our country's education system is in decline because it's focused on indoctrination, denying parents rights, Florida represents the revival of American education.
02:04:50.000We're ranked number one in the nation in education by U.S.
02:05:06.000We eliminated critical race theory, and we now have American civics and the Constitution in our schools in a really big way, just like President Reagan asked for.
02:05:16.000If he had a better campaign strategy and been in here and interviewed twice on the show, man, he'd be the frontrunner.
02:05:22.000Maybe not the frontrunner, but he'd be... He'd be doing better than 12%.
02:05:27.000It's so sad that he's been underutilized.
02:05:29.000It's not just about if he came on this show, it's that if he was willing to come on shows like this, he'd be doing way better.
02:05:36.000It's not about us, it's about his long form interviews.
02:05:41.000The Descendants campaign has forbade their staffers and supporters from coming on this show.
02:06:07.000We survived poll taxes and literacy tests.
02:06:10.000We survived discrimination being woven into the laws of our country.
02:06:15.000What was hard to survive was Johnson's Great Society, where they decided to put money Where they decided to take the black father out of the household to get a check in the mail, and you can now measure that in unemployment, in crime, in devastation.
02:06:34.000If you want to restore hope, you've got to restore the family, restore capitalism, and put Americans back at work together as one American family.
02:06:44.000Our nation continues to go in the right direction.
02:06:48.000It's why I can say I have been discriminated against.
02:08:05.000I met two young women, Chloe and Katie, early in this campaign who are in their 20s now regret getting double mastectomies and a hysterectomy.
02:08:57.000But the reason why we're not talking about education or healthcare or safety being a
02:09:01.000problem is because we have a business leader.
02:09:04.000I've got more experience as a business leader than I think this whole group combined.
02:09:08.000I know I've created more jobs than everybody else on the stage.
02:09:10.000Thousands of high-paying jobs that have real meaning.
02:09:13.000So as a business leader, you come in and you treat the taxpayer like a customer.
02:09:16.000So in North Dakota, instead of fighting with the teachers unions, we actually created a K-12 coordinating council.
02:09:21.000Everybody gets in the room and the customer is the student.
02:09:23.000But you do understand that this is an issue that many people in America really are concerned about, worried about, about parents and notification in schools.
02:09:33.000Yes, and that's why we have 50 platforms of innovation.
02:09:44.000Instead of like, oh, here's a choice school, and here's an old school, the old way with a teacher, and the kids are trapped.
02:09:49.000We made every school in North Dakota an innovation school.
02:09:52.000Every school got out from under the red tape.
02:09:54.000And the things that help teach the values that we're trying to get, like 4-H, like FFA, like Boy Scouts, they can get credit for all of that.
02:10:02.000miss by Bernie. Let me ask you, do Democrats think gay marriage is a state's issue?
02:10:07.000Right, exactly. No, sorry. It was like he was fouling it off and then he just struck out.
02:10:12.000I'm off. He let me down. Dead to me. I'm back to Christie.
02:11:34.000We're going to stand up for the rights of parents and we're going to pass a federal ban on transgender chemical or surgical surgery anywhere in the country.
02:11:44.000We've got to protect our kids from this radical gender ideology agenda and we've got to empower parents at the state level With the ability to choose whether kids go to school, whether it's public, private, or open, or homeschooling.
02:11:59.000Yeah, and he was smart to just redirect and say, I just want to talk about transgenderism.
02:12:03.000Yeah, that's going to... And reflect our values and focus on the basics faster than you could possibly imagine.
02:13:21.000But ultimately, we've got to beat them on the economy.
02:13:24.000And so that's what we'll do as President of the United States.
02:13:27.000Governor Christie, I wanted to follow up on this because 22% of American workers fear their jobs will be lost to a robot.
02:13:35.000And you said in the past that the free market is the way to go.
02:13:40.000Would you retrain workers who lose a job to artificial intelligence, and to do what?
02:13:46.000Well, look, what I think artificial intelligence offers us is an extraordinary opportunity to expand well beyond the productivity that we have now, and to have Americans be able to be involved in that revolution, Dana.
02:14:00.000You know, each time we have shown incredible innovation and progress in this country, what we've done with it is to expand all kinds of new, even unthought of opportunities.
02:14:11.000Yes, we have to do retraining for folks who lose some of their jobs, and we should be doing that.
02:14:15.000And we should have more training available both at the county college level and the local level for people to be able to access it.
02:15:35.000So when I get into office, I've been very clear.
02:15:37.000Kids under the age of 16 should not be using addictive social media.
02:15:43.000We're only going to ever get to declaring independence from China, which I favor.
02:15:49.000While the Democrats are running rampant, reaching the next generation 3 to 1, there's exactly one person in the Republican Party which talks a big game about reaching young people, and that's me.
02:17:03.000What they're doing is these 150 million people are on TikTok.
02:17:07.000That means they can get your contacts, they can get your financial information, they can get your emails, they can get your text messages, they can get all of these things.
02:18:22.000President Putin has ordered assassinations across Europe, cheated on arms control treaties with the U.S., and seeks to work with China to force our decline.
02:18:31.000President Reagan believed that if you want to prevent a war, you better be prepared to fight one.
02:18:38.000Today, the Republican Party is at odds over aid to Ukraine.
02:18:45.000But is it in our best interest to degrade Russia's military for less than 5% of what we pay annually on defense, especially when there are no U.S.
02:22:41.000And the fact of the matter is, we need to say right now, The Chinese-Russian alliance is something we have to fight against and we are not going to solve it by going over and cuddling up to Vladimir Putin.
02:22:55.000Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin was brilliant and a great leader.
02:23:02.000This is a person who is murdering people in his own country and now not having enough blood, he's now going to Ukraine to murder innocent civilians.
02:24:17.000But we're also in a economic war through what we're doing with agriculture and energy.
02:24:21.000And we're also in a war with them relative to cyber war.
02:24:24.000We get attacked every day in North Dakota, every state, every school district, our tribes, all being attacked every day by either China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea.
02:24:33.000And now we've got a Biden administration whose whole policy is appeasement.
02:24:37.000They're out there, you know, creating the world, making it less safe.
02:24:39.000Six billion dollars they traded for five people.
02:24:42.000They've just now set a price on anyone's head who's a tourist from America, who's a student from America, for kidnapping.
02:24:48.000If you want more kidnapping, put a price on it.
02:24:50.000And then that's, and they're also helping Iran get to have more closer to nuclear weapon, which pushes all of the Middle
02:25:06.000That will make our nation less successful, make us more poor,
02:25:11.000and at the core of all that is energy policy, because China imports 10 million barrels of oil a day.
02:25:16.000They're the largest import in the world and we've had four cabinet members from the Biden administration there this summer and none of them talked about U.S.
02:25:23.000The first one to go to each of those countries was Kerry to talk about the folly of the climate policy which is making the world less stable.
02:26:10.000And what you need to do is understand that Mexico's not being a good partner if we lost 75,000 Americans last year.
02:26:17.000Mexico's not being a good partner if they're letting the cartels get away with what they're getting away with.
02:26:22.000What we will do is we will make sure that we send in our special operations and we will take out the cartels, we'll take out their operations, we'll take out anything that's doing it.
02:27:28.000You see, Crowder has taken on kind of like what you guys do backstage, the backstage kind of, they just started one that's very similar to backstage.
02:28:36.000I've also understood without question the fact that if you look at the details before 9-11, there was information and intelligence that was available that suggested an attack was coming.
02:28:48.000Having the right intelligence partners with us is key to making sure that we prevent the next 9-11 from ever happening.
02:28:56.000Having that experience for the last 10 years is really important in getting the job done.
02:29:15.000You hear the fire on the stage tonight.
02:29:17.000You hear the fire in all of our voices.
02:29:19.000And it's because Joe Biden is weak in this country, at home and abroad.
02:29:23.000This is a time for those of us that have the experience, the tested experience, and a commitment
02:29:31.000to the conservative agenda that Ronald Reagan brought forward in this party of a strong
02:29:36.000national defense, standing with our allies, standing up to our enemies, supporting limited
02:29:40.000government and traditional values, need to step forward.
02:29:44.000Because frankly, our party does face a time for choosing.
02:29:48.000Whether we're going to stand on the foundation of that conservative agenda that Ronald Reagan forged, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism on more to conservative principles.
02:30:00.000I'm the most experienced, most qualified, and most consistent conservative in this field, and I'm ready to lead it.
02:30:06.000That is Trump's worst mistake right there.
02:30:11.000Yo, Jack Masobas got a really good tweet.
02:30:14.000He says, over one hour in and not one candidate has even mentioned the Biden-DOJ weaponizing the power of the state to take down its top opponent.
02:30:22.000Look, man, I like Vivek, but if I was on that stage, I'm sorry.
02:30:26.000Anybody who watches this show, like, you know exactly what I'd be talking about.
02:30:30.000The first thing they'd say, they'd say, we have an immigration crisis at the border.
02:30:58.000As president, all prosecution, anybody who engaged in a prosecution or sedition against the previous president will face criminal prosecution.
02:31:26.000The first thing I would do is stop the psychopaths who are dissolving Trump's business, falsely accusing him of rape, prosecuting his lawyers.
02:31:34.000You think anyone in this country right now, look, what they're trying to do is they're trying to This is the problem with conservative voters.
02:32:50.000And so you go up on that stage and what do people want to hear?
02:32:55.000Well look, what they're trying to do All of these people, I imagine most of them, don't actually believe a word they say.
02:33:04.000What actually happens is the consultants come in and say, if you go with these talking points, you'll cast a wider net than Ron DeSantis will.
02:33:12.000So that's why Nikki Haley was like, you wanna get kids on the TikTok!
02:33:16.000He literally said, we should not allow them on TikTok.
02:33:19.000And then you just said nonsense, because they don't actually believe or care about whatever it is they're talking about.
02:33:25.000There also appears to be just real personal animosity now, which there wasn't at the last debate, I think.
02:33:31.000So this is the part that I really like about the campaign season, is when they actually start to just, like, hate each other, and they can't keep it in anymore, because I just want something unexpected.
02:33:40.000I want some sign of life, and an organic reaction to human beings.
02:33:45.000And so you're starting to see that a little bit here, but it still seems like play acting to me.
02:34:49.000Mr. Rameshwami, how would you bring down prices without drilling?
02:34:54.000Well, look, I think that we do have to run through the courts and get through that administrative state to make sure we're using the natural resources here at home.
02:35:02.000But here's the other thing that we can do that's easy.
02:36:02.000See, this is what's refreshing about him, is all these other candidates are just repeating the same old crap from the 80s, and what Trump did in 16 was he had a new plan, and Vivek's got a new plan.
02:36:23.000We became a net exporter of energy for the first time in 75 years.
02:36:29.000On day one, Joe Biden declared a war on energy, which was no surprise, because when Joe Biden ran for president, he said he was going to end fossil fuels.
02:36:39.000And they've been working overtime to do that ever since.
02:36:42.000If I'm president of the United States, we're going to open up federal lands.
02:36:45.000We're going to unleash American energy.
02:36:48.000We're going to have an all-of-the-above energy strategy.
02:36:51.000And I have a plan that actually would not only reclaim energy independence, But in 2006, America lost our position as the leading energy producer on Earth.
02:37:00.000I believe in the next ten years with the right policies and the right institutions.
02:37:03.000And I'm the leading energy producer on Earth.
02:37:47.000She's going for the, uh, act erratically.
02:37:48.000she's really going to have to do with the way you are able to do in florida
02:37:52.000only there are a few of us are going to get on to the role and going to the uh...
02:37:58.000subsidies acted radically that way when they criticize you complain their sexist
02:38:03.000and i just did a plan out west texas for american energy dominance
02:38:08.000We're going to choose Midland over Moscow, we're going to choose the Marcellus over the Molas, and we're going to choose Bakken over Beijing, and we are going to lower your gas prices.
02:38:17.000We are going to get that job done because it's important for our national security, it's important for jobs, and that's one of the best ways to drive down inflation.
02:38:25.000I've written lines that I was waiting because I thought they'd kill, but...
02:38:29.000So have you noticed that Ron's smiling a bit when he's not talking?
02:39:39.000They're going to focus on the things that really matter.
02:39:41.000They're going to make different choices.
02:39:42.000They're going to try to graduate people in four years.
02:39:44.000I also just want to come back to something Dana asked last segment about 9-11, because I was just at the 9-11 memorial with the families, my wife and everybody.
02:39:50.000It was very touching to be there, and it affected my life because I ended up joining the military as a result of that.
02:41:55.000Number two, we've lost 100,000 factories.
02:41:59.000100,000 factories in the last 25 years.
02:42:02.000If we continued on my Made in America plan, we could bring jobs back to America in a similar fashion that we did when I wrote the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
02:42:11.000We actually lowered the corporate tax from 35% to 21%, reshored or repatriated $1.7 trillion.
02:42:18.000We brought the unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians to the lowest level in the history of the country and a 70-year low for women.
02:42:28.000Governor Haley, would you think, you think you would deserve the promotion over him?
02:42:32.000Well, first of all, I think, look, I appreciate Tim, we've known each other a long time, but he's been there 12 years and he hasn't done any of that.
02:42:39.000He hasn't, they've only given four budgets on time in 40 years.
02:42:43.000He increased the national debt, he voted for the spending, he has made sure that the borders are open and they haven't done anything.
02:43:17.000You can always talk, but when it gets hot in there, when they're shooting arrows at you, are you going to stand up for parents' rights, keep the state free?
02:43:25.000Are you going to be able to do all those things?
02:43:27.000And in the state of Florida, because of our success, the Democratic Party lies in ruins.
02:44:58.000We're fighting the Biden administration on 20 fronts.
02:45:00.000To say that nobody's fighting the big fights, just look at the record of what we're doing right now.
02:45:04.000Energy, economy, national security have been talking about it since day one, and now finally, good, we're having the conversation about it, but we've got the answer in North Dakota.
02:45:32.000Well, because we've done it in North Dakota.
02:45:35.000When I took office, we shrunk the state budget general fund by 27% in the first four months I was office, and all the trains stopped running on time.
02:45:48.000There's 10 or 20% of mind-numbing, soul-sucking work that even the state and federal employees don't want to do, and you can engineer that work out of the job, that would free up right there 20% of 2 million civilian employees.
02:46:01.000And by the way, we've got 10 million jobs open.
02:46:03.000They'd have plenty to do, and they could be generating taxes instead of being paid by taxes.
02:46:07.000This is totally possible to do it if you have somebody that understands Because having worked in technology for 30 years, everything we had to do was to be better, faster, and cheaper the next day.
02:46:58.000We were winning places like Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach, that nobody thought was possible because we were leading with purpose and conviction.
02:47:04.000I reject this idea that pro-lifers are to blame for midterm defeats.
02:47:10.000I think there's other reasons for that.
02:47:12.000The former president, he's missing in action tonight.
02:48:45.000And I think we fought hard against Roe vs. Wade for decades to say that states should make these decisions.
02:48:51.000So we're going to have those fights in the states.
02:48:52.000I believe in life, and I believe that California should kill as many babies as they want, because I'm a principled conservative.
02:48:57.000You have to be pro-life for the entire life, not just the 9 months in the womb.
02:49:01.000And we've talked a lot about fentanyl tonight, and we haven't spoken one moment about treatment.
02:49:06.000But we need to make sure that for the drug-addicted 16-year-old on the floor of the county lockup, her life is precious, too.
02:49:13.000And we need to be providing treatment to cure this as a disease that it is.
02:49:17.000If you're pro-life, you've got to be pro-life for the entire life.
02:49:19.000We start talking like that, they're going to do what I did in the blue state, which was get re-elected with 61% of the vote and won 70% of independents and 51% of Latinos because I told them the truth from my heart.
02:49:35.000The latest Univision poll found that 73% of Latino voters think the Republican Party doesn't care about or is being hostile toward them, the Hispanic community.
02:49:46.000Only Governor DeSantis has translated his campaign into Spanish.
02:49:50.000How would you reach out to Latino voters?
02:49:54.000Well, I promise you that we're going to continue to build bridges to every community in this country.
02:51:06.000I really wish I could be on this stage.
02:51:09.000I would be up there and be like, guys, no one on this stage is going to beat Trump.
02:51:12.000Just say it to the people watching at home.
02:51:14.000Just since everyone's listening to me, let me talk about my opinions.
02:51:17.000No, I'd be like, I'm voting for Trump.
02:51:19.000I'm up here to tell you I'm voting for Trump and y'all can't beat him.
02:51:21.000I'd probably get up there and say, hey, no one up on this stage is going to beat Trump, which is why I'd encourage you to purchase my book.
02:52:58.000The whole stream would freeze and all these people would be clicking in.
02:53:06.000Nikki's half right when she said that she was dumber for having listened to Vivek.
02:53:10.000The reality is I'm dumber for having listened to all of them.
02:53:12.000You know, when she was going after Scott, and it's just the same thing, they're both, they've been sniping at everyone all night, but then when Scott just totally lost even the veneer of civilian, he goes, did you send him back?
02:53:50.000Vivek is doing really, really well, but my advice to him would be, he's trying to target audiences like ours too much.
02:53:59.000The people who listen to this show are so well-read, they correct us in the comments when we get things wrong.
02:54:05.000If you're trying to get a general swath of as many people as possible, he needs to tone it down a little bit to where the people who watch a show like this understand what he's saying and like, I totally get it.
02:54:15.000But it's like cake, something simple and easily digestible, not some complicated dish that's super like, oh, actually oatmeal is a better way to put it.
02:54:22.000You know, like, with some brown sugar on top.
02:54:28.000The thing about... Vivek is an exceptional guy in every way.
02:54:31.000I mean, this was true when I was in college.
02:54:33.000He was, like, known as... Even at Yale Law School, best law school in the country, he was, like, a top guy on... He was a big man on campus.
02:54:39.000And he's always been very impressive and exceptional.
02:55:07.000He seems like a normal guy who eats Big Macs.
02:55:10.000He makes it look easy, and Vivek is just, he's very high strung.
02:55:15.000Yeah, well, yeah, he just reads as the Yale Law School, you know, smart, wealthy guy, which is impressive, but if he could be that guy and eat the Big Macs, that would be diner.
02:55:31.000But this is why when Fetterman, I guess someone was over chatting, they got rid of the dress, they reinstated the dress code, like Fetterman, stop wearing shorts, you're a slob.
02:55:39.000My attitude when it came to Fetterman was, yeah, I don't think shorts are appropriate, But I certainly think it's silly that everyone has to wear a suit and women have to wear dresses or whatever.
02:55:49.000And it's the right being like, no, there has to be a dress code, blah, blah, blah.
02:55:54.000There are some people who I know that are not even super conservative, but they've become tribal.
02:55:57.000I'll agree with the right on this for no reason.
02:56:17.000Regular people, who aren't Michelin chefs, just want to cook a nice steak for their family, and they buy what they can buy from Walmart, and they like to cook it well done with ketchup.
02:56:29.000Not all low-class people eat this way.
02:56:31.000I know that there are people who work really, really hard, they don't make a lot of money, and they learn how to cook a steak properly.
02:56:36.000But me growing up, my dad would cook great steaks, and then sometimes we'd get the dollar steaks, and we'd cook them through in slop ketchup.
02:56:44.000So when Trump does that, and the media insulted Trump, they were insulting all of us.
02:56:48.000When Federman Dresses down, they're trying to play the same game to get conservatives to appear elitist and hoity-toity, and you have to dress in a suit!
02:58:18.000With all due respect, I mean, we're here, like, you know, we're happy to debate, but I think that that's disrespectful to my fellow competitors.
02:59:58.000Every person on this stage has shown the respect for Republican voters to come here, to express their views honestly, candidly, and directly, and to take your questions honestly.
03:00:09.000I have respect for every man and woman on this stage because they've done it.
03:00:12.000Vivek, put your hand down for a second.
03:00:22.000This guy has not always divided our party.
03:00:25.000He's divided families all over this country.
03:00:28.000He's divided friends all over this country.
03:00:31.000I've spoken to people, and I know everyone else has, who have sat at Thanksgiving dinner or at a birthday party and can't have a conversation anymore if they disagree with Donald Trump.
03:02:02.000I just, I would love to, you see, we're working on hosting some kind of debate.
03:02:10.000The problem is none of them will actually, Vivek will do it, right?
03:02:14.000I'm not saying we've confirmed with Vivek, I'm saying based on what we know of Vivek's willingness to come on and have these conversations, he is the kind of guy who is willing to be like, let's sit down, let's have this conversation.
03:02:37.000for much of my upbringing, and I always thought he was a crazy lib, and he still sort of is a crazy lib, but politics is so nuts now that he's kind of on our side.
03:02:44.000And he's still polling at like 19%, I think.
03:03:11.000So the issue I take with this, and the reason why they wouldn't come on this show, Establishment, Uniparty Republicans, and Democrats wouldn't come on a show like this, because they can't stand up to scrutiny.
03:03:22.000Vivek would come on a show like this, because he can.
03:03:25.000I say, hey Vivek, when he was accused of the Soros stuff, funding, he made a video immediately posted and said, guys, let me address that for you.
03:03:33.000Like, I'll talk about it, because this is what you have to do.
03:03:37.000Trump goes on tons of podcasts, and he just sits there and he talks, he calls into Fox News, he just rambles.
03:03:45.000There's people who can do it better than Trump, for sure, but when Chris Christie's like, Trump divided this country, and there were friends who were fighting with each other, it's just like, shut up, dude, that's not true, and we're tired of listening to the bullshit.
03:03:58.000But also, if my crazy, purple-haired third cousin, twice removed, doesn't want to speak to me anymore because I voted for Trump, Then that's her fault.
03:04:45.000We'll, of course, be back tomorrow with more shows, so smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
03:04:52.000This Miami event is going to be super epic.
03:04:56.000I believe it is confirmed we're going to be doing Friday night's show that we normally do, it's gonna be on TimCast.com, members only.
03:05:04.000That way it can be the most based version of what this show can be with people like James O'Keefe, Patrick Bette David, Matt Gaetz, especially with Matt Gaetz.
03:05:12.000We're just gonna be alike, have fun, say it all.
03:05:14.000And I think for the most part, it's just a means of helping support the website.
03:05:18.000Doing these events is an effective way of just growing the business.
03:05:21.000So really do appreciate everybody who supports us as members and everybody's gonna be coming.
03:05:26.000So yeah, Michael, do you wanna shout anything out?
03:05:46.000If you're a fan of reading or literature, you can purchase my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, available now wherever... You know people still post super chats.
03:07:05.000Yeah, it's a conundrum when there's big moments like the debates where we would normally do super chats in the numbers only, but the debate ends at 11 and I have to be up at 7 a.m., so it's just like, I have my limits.
03:07:27.000Just so everyone knows, in order to watch that, you do have to become a member on TimCast.com, just so everyone is aware.
03:07:33.000But we're going to put out a video, like basically... Well, so I was inspired by Michael, because I watched the video of you guys talking about backstage and the issues YouTube was giving you.
03:07:41.000And then basically what happens for us with the show we're doing is...
03:07:46.000You know, we were like, yeah, we'll do the show live or whatever.
03:07:48.000And then there were questions of like, okay, we're gonna have people in the audience.
03:08:43.000Takes one word and then those masters of the universe zap you down.
03:08:46.000Well, so the other issue, too, is like Public Square is sponsoring it, and I'm like, you know, if someone sitting in the front row just is trying to screw with us, and then we lose the whole show because of it, is it better to do the live show members only, but then upload it after the fact where we know we're good?
