Transcript

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it is the night you have all been waiting for.
00:00:24.000 Donald Trump is set to announce he will be running for the President of the United States 2024.
00:00:29.000 It'll be happening tonight.
00:00:32.000 He is going to be live streaming around 9 p.m.
00:00:34.000 so we will be watching and hanging out and we will be Showing, to the best of our abilities, whatever his speech is.
00:00:41.000 Obviously, with our commentary, there's some overlap, so keep that in mind.
00:00:45.000 It might get hard to hear sometimes, but we'll be watching.
00:00:47.000 We'll be talking about his announcement and discussing politics as it pertains to this major announcement.
00:00:54.000 Now, it is being confirmed by NBC News that a longtime Trump advisor has confirmed to them Trump will announce he is running.
00:01:02.000 Some people thought maybe that wasn't the case.
00:01:03.000 Everyone kind of thought, Yeah, he's going to announce and it is going to be spectacular.
00:01:07.000 I have to imagine Trump is going to make this one a grand ceremony, a grand entrance.
00:01:13.000 So this should be particularly fun and exciting.
00:01:16.000 But in the news world, we got a couple of crazy stories.
00:01:19.000 Article four has been invoked by Poland.
00:01:22.000 They are convening ambassadors from various NATO countries into Poland, talk about how to respond to what is being reported as a Russian missile strike hitting Polish territory.
00:01:32.000 We don't know that's the case.
00:01:34.000 Some have said that it may actually have been anti-air missiles, I believe Ukrainian, that backfired and then fell from the sky and slammed into the ground or something, but we're not entirely sure.
00:01:43.000 Some said it appeared that these were a Russian strike on railways, which sounds like it may be them trying to disrupt supply lines.
00:01:51.000 Again, not a lot confirmed.
00:01:53.000 The next story is just, it's so much fun, and it was a story I wanted to cover earlier, but then, you know, World War III is kicking off, and I can't.
00:01:59.000 Elon Musk is firing more woke employees, just without regard for their feelings, just posting on Twitter.
00:02:08.000 And he even invited our good friends Ligma and Johnson to Twitter HQ and took a photo with him.
00:02:13.000 So I think that's particularly funny.
00:02:15.000 So that'll be fun to talk about.
00:02:16.000 And then of course around 9 p.m.
00:02:17.000 Eastern Time, so in about one hour, Donald Trump is going to start his announcement and we'll have that playing and so we'll check all that stuff out.

00:05:03.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this, as well as some other really interesting stuff, there's a big lawsuit going on, is Daniel Miller.
00:05:11.000 Would you like to introduce yourself?
00:05:12.000 Yes, I'm Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement, and I think as the bio tells me, as everyone does, I'm the father of the modern Texas movement.
00:05:21.000 That's a lot of pressure.
00:05:22.000 I'm not gonna lie.
00:05:24.000 You basically want Texas to become its own country?
00:05:25.000 Well, absolutely, yeah.
00:05:27.000 I mean, if anyone's familiar with Brexit, then they will understand Texas, where Texas becomes a self-governing, independent nation again.
00:05:35.000 Well, right on.
00:05:36.000 That'll be interesting.
00:05:36.000 Plus, you guys got this lawsuit against the federal government, I believe.
00:05:39.000 Well, we're suing META.
00:05:40.000 Suing META, sorry.
00:05:41.000 Yeah, we're suing Facebook because Facebook, we've had a long battle with Facebook regarding censorship, right?
00:05:48.000 I mean, they've done anything you could imagine they were, you know, as far as censorship goes, they were doing to us first.
00:05:54.000 And here recently they decided that they wanted to prevent people from posting links to texitnow.org, which is the main page that we have all of the Texit questions.
00:06:05.000 And this was a new one.
00:06:06.000 They said it violates community standards, says that it's against, where they keep people from posting content about organizations that incite violence or whatever, which is completely the opposite of what we're about.
00:06:21.000 And so what we did was we finally had our fill.
00:06:24.000 Look, you know, Facebook has been doing this to us for years.
00:06:27.000 You know, them, Amazon, Twitter, all of them.
00:06:30.000 But Facebook, we were up to here.
00:06:31.000 Yeah, they want to control the narrative.
00:06:33.000 And so we just said, hey, we're going after them.
00:06:35.000 So we'll get in all that.
00:06:35.000 That's very interesting.
00:06:36.000 So it should be fun.
00:06:37.000 Thanks for joining us.
00:06:38.000 Thanks for having me.
00:06:39.000 Absolutely.
00:06:40.000 We got Luke Rudkowski hanging out.
00:06:42.000 Text it.
00:06:43.000 I like it.
00:06:43.000 I really like it a lot.
00:06:45.000 I like that you like it.
00:06:46.000 My name's Luke Rudkowski here of WeAreChange.org and some of you guys are a little perturbed, a little mad at me because I don't like your favorite politician, but you should know I don't like any politician.
00:06:46.000 Yeah.
00:06:55.000 I believe war is murder.
00:06:56.000 You like DeSantis.
00:06:57.000 No, I'm critical of DeSantis as well.
00:06:59.000 I'm critical of all the politicians, which everyone should be, but I believe war is murder, taxation is theft, police are gangs, and politicians are criminals.
00:07:06.000 If you're with me on that, you could support me and my efforts here by getting the shirt that says that on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
00:07:13.000 And I've said many times, DeSantis, again, not a perfect candidate, no one's perfect, and there are some things that we could be critical of him on, just like we should be critical of everyone.
00:07:22.000 Hi everyone, Ian Crosland here.
00:07:23.000 Daniel, you have a book as well.
00:07:26.000 I don't think we've talked about that yet, but it's actually called Text It.
00:07:28.000 It is.
00:07:29.000 And is that something some people can get somewhere?
00:07:31.000 Well, we can get into it.
00:07:32.000 We'll talk about it near the end.
00:07:33.000 We'll talk about the book later in the show and then... Yeah.
00:07:36.000 Aim people towards it. Thank you. Thanks for coming, man.
00:07:39.000 What's up, everybody? I'm filling in again today for search.
00:07:42.000 Really excited. Let's get going.
00:07:45.000 His name is Kellen. My name is Kellen. That's right.
00:07:47.000 All right. So we do have the rumble player ready to go for when Donald Trump begins his speech at
00:07:56.000 We have the story from NBC News.
00:07:57.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it is confirmed.
00:07:59.000 Trump to announce he will run for president in 2024.
00:08:02.000 This is NBC News reporting.
00:08:05.000 You want to pull that one up?
00:08:06.000 There you go.
00:08:07.000 Trump will announce Trump has continued to falsely assert that he won the 2020 election, but that he was denied office by rampant fraud.
00:08:14.000 If, I'm sorry, I'm gonna say this right away, if Donald Trump I know a lot of people have people have reached out to me and said, Tim, if Trump doesn't address this stuff, it won't get resolved.
00:08:25.000 about fraud, I think he's going to spiral, crash and burn.
00:08:27.000 I know a lot of people have people have reached out to me and said, Tim, if Trump doesn't address
00:08:32.000 this stuff, it won't get resolved.
00:08:34.000 And that may be. But I think that it is too esoteric and it is confusing for younger voters.
00:08:43.000 I think it is.
00:08:44.000 It is Trump's revenge.
00:08:46.000 Trump's retribution.
00:08:47.000 Trump 2020 is not the message we need.
00:08:50.000 I think Trump needs to come out and say Biden screwed you over and you all know it.
00:08:54.000 Let me fix it.
00:08:56.000 Yeah, I mean, the American people are going through a lot of problems right now, especially financially, especially when it comes to our foreign policy, especially when it comes to having a leader that can't even read his own notes at the G20 and has to go take a nap and not meet with the foreign delegations that are meeting at this prestigious dinner.
00:09:12.000 Not prestigious, but you know what I mean here.
00:09:15.000 If he's going to be smart here he's going to be talking ... about America's problems how he could solve it the future ... how his presidency would look like how he would be different ... than he was before but if he does focus on the past I do ... think he's going to be losing a lot of people the ... Independent is reporting.
00:09:30.000 That he's trying to convince Ivanka and Jared to join him on this announcement.
00:09:34.000 So it's going to be interesting to see who stands behind him, who's there.
00:09:37.000 Candace Owens made some very interesting statements a couple of days ago saying that Trump now has someone around him that's trying to push away the populist base, trying to push away Candace herself, away from Donald Trump.
00:09:49.000 So it's going to be interesting who's there, what he's going to be saying, and essentially what are going to be his plans, hopefully, that he's going to be talking about and not talking about the past.
00:09:59.000 Yeah, I agree.
00:10:00.000 I think if he's going to come out and complain about his feelings about what happened to him in his election and the processes and everything, he needs to display a solution immediately.
00:10:08.000 He needs to come out and say, this will help us prevent this from happening again.
00:10:11.000 These free software systems, for instance, voting online on a blockchain, for instance, things that are transparent, voting online on like nine different blockchains so they can all be referenced.
00:10:20.000 But I have a feeling he's going to come out and complain and not offer any solutions and just get the angry people behind him again, like he did last And if he's really smart, he's going to be talking about ballot harvesting, he's going to be talking about mail-in ballots, and also talking about a plan to deal with all of that, along with big tech social media censorship, which stands in the way of Republicans ever winning any kind of political office.
00:10:43.000 Well, look, I mean, people... I think the biggest mistake that people on the other side of the election integrity issue have made is whether they believe the assertions or not, they have totally ignored the concerns that people have, right? Regardless of whether
00:10:59.000 the route is true or not, what they've done is instead of saying, look, I get you have concerns
00:11:04.000 and this voting issue is sort of the cornerstone of a constitutional republic. And so we need to,
00:11:09.000 we need to do everything we can to shore this up, right? We go back to the DEF CON report from
00:11:15.000 2019 where they had voting village and were able to hack all those machines, right? But no one
00:11:20.000 ever addressed the concerns.
00:11:21.000 DEF CON, the hacker convention.
00:11:22.000 Right, the hacker convention, right?
00:11:23.000 So they showed that electronic voting machines are susceptible.
00:11:26.000 And so instead of addressing those issues and saying, okay, look, we get it.
00:11:31.000 Every machine in the voter village got hacked.
00:11:34.000 What they did was they decided to marginalize and essentially tell people, look, if you have any concerns about this, you're just a whack job conspiracy theorist.
00:11:41.000 And so, you know, is that a running issue for Trump?
00:11:43.000 I don't think so.
00:11:44.000 It's always got to be about, you know, for most people, about the economy.
00:11:47.000 But those issues do have to be addressed.
00:11:51.000 It is, one, I think what we saw in the midterms, Republicans tried really hard, for the most part, to focus on what the Democrats were doing wrong and things they didn't like or things they wanted to get rid of.
00:12:03.000 CRT in schools was a big issue, probably because people saw Yunkin succeed.
00:12:07.000 But if you're going after the fraud narrative, You are not explaining to people what you want to do other than we were done wrong and we want the system to correct that injustice.
00:12:20.000 And if you are coming out and just saying, hey, we're going to sharp our energy policy, we're going to lower interest rates or whatever, we're going to make the economy better, then you're ignoring another big problem.
00:12:31.000 So it's kind of a double-edged sword.
00:12:32.000 Ballot harvesting is a major issue.
00:12:34.000 Republicans thought they could target political and cultural issues and that would get them a victory, without realizing the ballot harvesting operation is intense.
00:12:44.000 Ballot harvesting, not fraud.
00:12:46.000 There is some fraudulent ballot harvesting, but in 39 states, they're allowed to do it.
00:12:50.000 I believe 13 states have no restrictions whatsoever.
00:12:53.000 And we've even heard some officials say that you can harvest as many votes as you want so long as that person signs off that you are designated to do so.
00:13:01.000 And so that is a major disadvantage.
00:13:04.000 If Republicans aren't tackling that and focusing on either building a ballot harvesting operation like Democrats have, then they're going to lose.
00:13:13.000 If you campaign on that, people are going to say, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:13:18.000 So it's difficult.
00:13:20.000 I understand that.
00:13:20.000 What Republicans need is a vote by drone campaign where you designate a drone as your harvester.
00:13:25.000 It comes to your house, picks it up, because no one has the time to drive for six hours a day from giant farm to giant farm.
00:13:32.000 We just need drones doing it.
00:13:33.000 Well, look, we could talk about the election integrity issues, and that's obviously a big concern down in Texas.
00:13:40.000 I mean, we're all over that.
00:13:41.000 We're still dealing right now in Harris County, largest county in Texas, most populous county in Texas, dealing with just an absolute abortion of an election day, right?
00:13:51.000 I mean, we've been joking and calling it East Maricopa County.
00:13:56.000 It's been horrible.
00:13:58.000 But if we're talking about issues that are going to motivate voters, I just look at what's motivated our base.
00:14:05.000 What has led the Texas issue to become the issue for 66% of likely voters?
00:14:11.000 If Texas was on the ballot tomorrow, 66% of likely voters in Texas would vote in favor.
00:14:17.000 And the reasons are pretty clear.
00:14:19.000 Number one, they believe the federal government is too big, too bloated, federal overreach, right?
00:14:23.000 Too intrusive in their lives.
00:14:25.000 And it's the border and immigration.
00:14:26.000 For 15 years, the border and immigration, together as an issue, have polled as the number one concern for Texas voters.
00:14:33.000 When we see the same number of illegal immigrants cross the border from Mexico into Texas every month, That's higher than the number of allied troops that landed on the beaches of Normandy at D-Day.
00:14:44.000 That is massive.
00:14:45.000 And it goes unresolved and unaddressed.
00:14:48.000 And so if you're going to have, look, if Donald Trump wanted to make some fans tonight, he would come out and say, I'm running for president.
00:14:55.000 And what I'm going to do, my number one issue is to put it on the ballot for every state to determine whether they want to stay in the union or not.
00:15:01.000 Oh, geez.
00:15:03.000 I would love to see that.
00:15:05.000 I thought you were going to say he was going to come out and say, build the wall.
00:15:09.000 Well, yeah.
00:15:10.000 I mean, maybe between, you know, it was funny.
00:15:12.000 I was interviewed by the New York Times one time.
00:15:14.000 They said, do you think that the United States ought to put troops on the river?
00:15:18.000 And we said, absolutely.
00:15:19.000 Let's put them all along the Red River because we're tired of the snowbirds coming in the winter.
00:15:26.000 I think it's also fair to ask, is Donald Trump going to be successful here?
00:15:36.000 Is he going to win?
00:15:37.000 Because he's facing off against Biden, who's weak.
00:15:40.000 But again, is he going to deal with the mail-in ballot harvesting?
00:15:44.000 Is he going to be attacked by the establishment?
00:15:46.000 Is the DOJ still going to be going after him?
00:15:49.000 The Washington Post is reporting right now that the DOJ is saying That if Trump runs, this is not going to stop the Justice Department criminal probe of Donald Trump.
00:15:58.000 So if the Justice Department goes after him, I see that actually lifting him up and actually helping him, especially when it comes to the popularity.
00:16:06.000 And if he's running against a Nikki Haley, a Mike Pompeo, a Mike Pence, all the goblins of the DC swamp that he helped enable, then I see something that's going to be successful here.
00:16:16.000 If he runs against Ron DeSantis, it's going to be a tough battle.
00:16:20.000 It's not going to be an easy one.
00:16:21.000 It's not going to be a tough battle, necessarily.
00:16:24.000 The way I look at it is, Ron DeSantis and Trump in a primary will be the best possible thing for Republicans and whatever the more liberty-minded faction is, because Trump will have to find a way to contend with DeSantis' popularity and success policy-wise, and DeSantis will have to find a way to overcome Donald Trump's gravitas, his imposing figure, his quick wit.
00:16:47.000 That primary is going to make both of them very, very good.
00:16:50.000 And whoever can't win it doesn't deserve to win it.
00:16:53.000 If Trump goes in there and just crushes DeSantis and policy becomes completely irrelevant, then it deserves to.
00:17:00.000 If you can't convince people to vote on the merits, then you don't deserve to be the nominee.
00:17:05.000 But if DeSantis comes in and says, bing, bang, boom, here's what I've done, and it resonates with people and Trump is unable to counter that, then Trump doesn't deserve to take it.
00:17:13.000 What about Carrie Lake?
00:17:14.000 You guys think she's going to run for president?
00:17:16.000 No.
00:17:16.000 Because Katie Hobbs, who was overseeing the election in Arizona, won the election.
00:17:21.000 So now Carrie Lake lost the election.
00:17:23.000 Yeah, but she's not in office.
00:17:24.000 She's not in politics.
00:17:25.000 She's famous, though.
00:17:27.000 And she's well-liked.
00:17:27.000 I don't think it would be good if she ran.
00:17:30.000 Just not good for the Republican Party.
00:17:32.000 People are going to be saying, if she can't win a state election, what makes her think that she could win a national one?
00:17:37.000 Trump wasn't a politician before he won.
00:17:39.000 Good point.
00:17:41.000 Trump was massively famous, though.
00:17:43.000 Kerry's just kind of gone on board.
00:17:44.000 It's true, but, you know, I guess we can see.
00:17:47.000 I just don't like the idea of these people who lose elections just trying to up their election game.
00:17:52.000 Like Beto or Abrams.
00:17:52.000 Up the ante?
00:17:54.000 I was about to say, that sounds very familiar to me.
00:17:56.000 I think if Carrie Lake, if she should fight 110 percent, I believe that everybody should be protesting peacefully in Arizona.
00:18:04.000 There's 1.3, 1.2 million people voted for.
00:18:06.000 All 1.2 million should be out in the streets, especially in Maricopa, just because the busted up voting machines disenfranchised people.
00:18:14.000 And you don't even know who left the lines, who went home because of because of the failure of the voting process.
00:18:19.000 And that benefits Democrats.
00:18:21.000 So I will stress this.
00:18:23.000 The difference between fraud and impropriety.
00:18:25.000 So fraud is initially the narrative was voting machines stealing votes, people forging ballots and things like that.
00:18:33.000 Now it seems like people are saying the fraud narrative is ballot harvesting and voting machines breaking.
00:18:38.000 And I'm like, okay, well that's a different conversation.
00:18:42.000 If the voting machines are just garbage and can't adequately handle the amount of people that are coming in to vote, then Democrats are winning because they do the early mail-in votes.
00:18:52.000 If the issue is ballot harvesting and it's legal in these states, then Democrats are winning because they have found a way to just get the numbers.
00:19:01.000 And it's a horrifying prospect.
00:19:03.000 It doesn't matter anymore to win the hearts and minds of the people.
00:19:07.000 It matters to convince someone who's not paying attention to sign their name to a piece of paper and then you leave and they don't even know what it was about.
00:19:14.000 I was looking at Katie Hobbs' Wikipedia page, and one of the last sentences in the 2022 gubernatorial election section is that Hobbs decided not to debate the Republican nominee Carrie Lake, to deny Lake a platform to spread election denialism.
00:19:28.000 You deny a candidate a chance to speak, is that not a form of election denialism?
00:19:35.000 It's not the same thing, but what a weird sentence.
00:19:35.000 It's not the same thing.
00:19:38.000 Yeah, she denied Kerry an opportunity because she was going to deny something.
00:19:42.000 Let me tell you.
00:19:43.000 Real quick, what was Katie Hobbs' role in the Arizona election exactly?
00:19:47.000 Because I've heard she's in charge of it.
00:19:48.000 I just want to be clear.
00:19:49.000 What was her role?
00:19:50.000 She was the Secretary of State of her own election.
00:19:50.000 Secretary of State.
00:19:52.000 So she didn't recuse herself.
00:19:54.000 Yes, so was Brian Kemp.
00:19:56.000 And it doesn't excuse either of them.
00:19:58.000 It doesn't excuse either of them.
00:20:00.000 But I'm seeing so many people come out and being like, I can't believe something like this would happen.
00:20:04.000 And it's like, yeah, and Brian Kemp did the same thing.
00:20:06.000 But how is it legal?
00:20:07.000 And we said it shouldn't have happened then, and it shouldn't be happening now.
00:20:11.000 But the system is just this ridiculous, stupid, broken system.
00:20:16.000 So it's annoyingly frustrating.
00:20:20.000 Maybe it should not be allowed.
00:20:20.000 And no, you're right.
00:20:22.000 It shouldn't have been allowed back then.
00:20:23.000 It shouldn't be allowed now.
00:20:24.000 I mean, leave it to the global superpower to screw up the fact that you should write on a piece of paper and put it in a box and then count how many pieces of paper in that box have the same thing written on it, right?
00:20:35.000 I mean, we've thrown in, we've decided to computerize our elections, we've made them all electronic, completely ignoring the fact that you have all the technical experts who come out and say anything, you know, all of these machines are susceptible.
00:20:47.000 Right?
00:20:48.000 And so here we are, we've over-complicated a system that we could trace back to Athens, Greece, centuries ago, 2,000 years ago plus, 3,000 years.
00:21:01.000 We're looking at the Athenians perfected this sort of system where they would even write on a shard of pottery Right?
00:21:07.000 But here we are.
00:21:08.000 We've overcomplicated it in allegedly in the world's only superpower still standing, where this is supposed to be the benchmark of civilization, right?
00:21:19.000 Democratic civilization.
00:21:21.000 We figured out a way to screw it up, or at least the bureaucrats have.
00:21:25.000 Here's what I want to see.
00:21:26.000 I want to see Donald Trump come out tonight and say gas prices are too high.
00:21:32.000 We need energy independence.
00:21:35.000 Our border is porous and worse than it's ever been.
00:21:37.000 I want him to come out and say we need to bring jobs back.
00:21:40.000 We need to bring factories back.
00:21:42.000 We need to stop this military expansion.
00:21:44.000 The war in Ukraine is not America's business.
00:21:49.000 I am.
00:21:49.000 That's what I want.
00:21:50.000 I want to hear MAGA.
00:21:51.000 I want to hear Donald Trump talk about how he wants to make this country great.
00:21:55.000 I want to hear him tell a story about a nice family sitting out in their backyard in a rocking chair.
00:22:01.000 Dad's reading the paper.
00:22:02.000 Mom's coming out with some fresh sun tea.
00:22:05.000 Kids are playing.
00:22:06.000 And he's talking about how the working class is going to have a better chance at succeeding in this country.
00:22:11.000 If it is an issue with the ballot harvesting and all that stuff, that's a matter for their strategy to win, but not to win the hearts and minds of the people.
00:22:20.000 To win the election I get, I just kind of feel like if they come out and they don't talk about issues, they're offering up nothing of substance.
00:22:28.000 You know what I mean?
00:22:29.000 Look, you're talking salesmanship versus statesmanship, right?
00:22:34.000 And let's be honest, he could get up there and he could paint the prettiest of pictures about what he would intend to do, right?
00:22:41.000 The whole MAGA thing, right?
00:22:43.000 Make America Great Again.
00:22:45.000 But let's be honest at what the situation is.
00:22:48.000 The federal government is terminally broken, right?
00:22:52.000 Four years Where he was going to drain the swamp.
00:22:54.000 The swamp is deeper than it's ever been.
00:22:57.000 Our lives are still controlled under 180,000 pages of federal laws, rules, and regulations administered by 440 separate agencies and 2.5 million unelected federal bureaucrats.
00:23:09.000 The federal debt has gone up to the point now that our children's children's children's children are still going to be paying on it, right? So nothing got
00:23:17.000 done. Our tax money is being taken, paid to overpaid civil servants, most of them make more
00:23:22.000 than the governor of our state, right?
00:23:24.000 Where that money in turn is funneled back into Democratic coffers that are out there now
00:23:28.000 openly pushing neo-Marxist theory and philosophy as public policy. So he can promise whatever he
00:23:35.000 wants to promise, but at the end of the day, the federal system, anything connected to it,
00:23:39.000 is going to be tainted just like it is. And we might as well be tethered to the Titanic,
00:23:44.000 headed to the bottom of the North Atlantic.
00:23:45.000 I'm curious if he's going to announce $2,000 checks for everyone, just like he did last time.
00:23:52.000 $10,000!
00:23:52.000 Hold on, in all seriousness, I would accept.
00:23:56.000 If Donald Trump comes out and says, I am going to be running on one platform, everyone gets $15,000 cash.
00:24:03.000 Oh, so he joined the Yang gang.
00:24:05.000 Well, Joe Biden came out and offered $10,000 to everybody in their pocket unconstitutionally, and they vote for it.
00:24:12.000 So there you go.
00:24:14.000 If the system is going to crumble and fall, then Trump may as well just come out and be like, sure, I'll play.
00:24:17.000 15, 20, 30, why not 50?
00:24:18.000 I need one word from Trump.
00:24:21.000 Graphene.
00:24:23.000 We're going to build the greatest graphene production facility on earth.
00:24:27.000 The best.
00:24:28.000 We are the best.
00:24:29.000 Everyone's confused.
00:24:30.000 I've been obsessively telling his friends when they come here to be on our show, tell Donald Trump, graphene, this is it.
00:24:35.000 This is the future.
00:24:36.000 We become a graphene industrialist nation.
00:24:37.000 Do it, Donald.
00:24:38.000 This is your chance.
00:24:39.000 And this is it, baby.
00:24:40.000 They leave thinking like, that's cool.
00:24:42.000 That guy's kind of weird.
00:24:43.000 Yeah, you gotta be a little more specific.
00:24:44.000 We also have to remember when Donald Trump was running in 2016, he was promising a lot of things.
00:24:51.000 He was talking about ending the Federal Reserve.
00:24:54.000 He was hinting at not 11 conspiracies.
00:24:56.000 He was hitting, you know, Out of the park when it came to going at the media one-on-one is he going to be that same Donald Trump from 2016 we're going to see but I think a lot of people want solutions not complaining and if he's going to be complaining he's going to lose a lot of his base as a lot of people are already saying hey.
00:25:15.000 There's no reason I should be supporting this, because this is not going to help anyone.
00:25:19.000 He's just going to indebt us and rob us of our money anyway.
00:25:21.000 Let's talk about the other possibility, I guess, and that's a peaceful divorce.
00:25:26.000 Peaceful divorce.
00:25:28.000 I like that.
00:25:29.000 You mentioned Donald Trump, you know, it would be good if he came out and announced he was going to put on the ballot secession for every state or something to that effect.
00:25:36.000 Yeah, look, you know, here's the thing that I think everyone needs to kind of understand is that this idea of independence or shuffling of the political structure has been in the wind for a long time.
00:25:48.000 Look, I've personally been working on the Texas independence issue since August 24th, 1996, right?
00:25:52.000 So I've been at this a long time.
00:25:57.000 But what's amazing is since this undercurrent has been happening, it's not just Texas, right?
00:26:02.000 Alaska has had an independence party since the 80s.
00:26:05.000 The whole Joe Vogler story is pretty impressive.
00:26:08.000 It should be a movie.
00:26:09.000 But there's, you know, burgeoning independence movements in California, in New Hampshire, in Vermont, a lot of other states.
00:26:15.000 I mean, we're hearing talk of flex it now.
00:26:18.000 But the bottom line here is simply this.
00:26:21.000 The movement toward the shuffling of the political structure and outright independence is not new and it's not rare and it's not unpopular.
00:26:29.000 I was sharing a statistic with the guys earlier that most people don't realize.
00:26:32.000 There was a poll, a SurveyUSA poll that dropped in the summer.
00:26:37.000 that showed that support for Texas was at 66% of likely voters in Texas.
00:26:41.000 Wow!
00:26:42.000 And that's not an aberration, right?
00:26:44.000 So you roll it back to 2009, the Research 2000 poll, it was about 30 some odd percent.
00:26:48.000 I like to joke that when we founded the TNM in 2005, it was polling in single digits.
00:26:53.000 What is TNM?
00:26:54.000 That's our organization, the Texas Nationalist Movement.
00:26:57.000 But, you know, we've always polled higher than the approval rating of the United States Congress, which polls somewhere right above or below leprosy, right?
00:27:04.000 I mean, they're not particularly popular.
00:27:06.000 You'll get that later, the leprosy thing, right?
00:27:08.000 But anyway, you know, the whole thing is that this has been a steady progression of support.
00:27:14.000 A lot of it driven by a bunch of on-the-ground work that we've done since 2005, but obviously a lot of it driven by the deteriorating situation with the federal government.
00:27:26.000 There was a poll done of five different regions in the U.S.
00:27:32.000 They asked them whether they supported their region seceding from the Union.
00:27:39.000 So you have five different region pollings, Democrat, Republican, Independent.
00:27:43.000 I normalized for state population and the numbers, and when you normalize, 37.2% of people in the United States want their region to secede.
00:27:54.000 Some more so than others, right?
00:27:55.000 In the Midwest, independents, the plurality wants secession.
00:27:59.000 In the South, it's the majority.
00:28:01.000 It's Republicans wanting secession.
00:28:04.000 In California, in the West Coast, it's Democrats that want secession.
00:28:09.000 Well, look, I mean, that's the polling on this issue.
00:28:12.000 The mainstream media, anytime they decide to dig off into the polling on this issue, they do something weird like that where, let's look at it by region instead of by state, right?
00:28:20.000 Which is not the way that it works.
00:28:21.000 It doesn't work by region.
00:28:22.000 Every state as a political entity would have the ability to put it on the ballot and withdraw, right?
00:28:29.000 So, 2014, during the time of the Scottish Independence referendum, that Reuters-Ipsos poll did exactly the same thing.
00:28:36.000 And so they lumped Texas in with the Southwest, which was New Mexico and Arizona.
00:28:40.000 And obviously, New Mexico is not a state that's going to want to break away, so they did that to skew the numbers.
00:28:45.000 But we got a hold of the crosstabs and the raw data and did the same thing.
00:28:48.000 That was the first time we discovered that Texas was polling at 54% Republican, half of
00:28:54.000 independent voters, and 35% of Democrats.
00:28:56.000 Right? That was the bombshell, but instead it was 35% of people in the Southwest region want their state to
00:29:03.000 Right? It's garbage.
00:29:03.000 leave.
00:29:04.000 So what do you do with that number?
00:29:06.000 Well, pretty much what we do, right?
00:29:08.000 So there is a process, right?
00:29:10.000 There is a process.
00:29:12.000 And what I tell people is, look, if you look overseas, right?
00:29:15.000 We've got plenty of examples of independence referenda around the world.
00:29:19.000 And that's ultimately where this is headed, is to a vote.
00:29:22.000 When people think of Texas, they need to think about what they saw in Scotland in 2014, Brexit a couple years later.
00:29:28.000 We're going to put it on the ballot.
00:29:30.000 Actually, last legislative session in Texas, we had the Texas Independence Referendum Act introduced by State Representative Kyle Biederman that would have done just that.
00:29:39.000 It would have allowed the voters to go to the polls and look down at a ballot and answer the question, should the state of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?
00:29:47.000 That ultimately is what people need to do, is they need to be given the choice.
00:29:53.000 A good bit of the reason that we've been able to build support is because of how we've been talking about this issue to the people.
00:30:00.000 This is what we ask them.
00:30:01.000 Imagine right now, if Texas or your state was already a self-governing independent nation, right?
00:30:08.000 You had control over your own border and immigration policy, your own military, your own currency and monetary policy, you know, you had your own military, you had your own passports, your own embassies, you had your own Olympic team, you had everything that 200 other self-governing independent nations around the world has.
00:30:24.000 Okay?
00:30:25.000 Fix that in your mind and then ask yourself this.
00:30:28.000 Instead of talking about withdrawing from the Union, imagine if you were talking about whether or not your state, your self-governing independent nation state, should join the Union.
00:30:36.000 Knowing everything you know about the federal government right now, would you vote to join?
00:30:41.000 Hell no.
00:30:42.000 Well, it depends on if- Well, let me first welcome you to the team.
00:30:45.000 If we were being invaded by like cartels, like literally like a 10,000 man cartel army with maybe they had bomb- if they're dropping bombs on cities, like we'd have no choice but to petition the United States to join the union at that point for defense.
00:30:58.000 Well, okay, let's just be clear that any state that would be a self-governing independent nation already would already have control of its national defense.
00:31:06.000 You know, down here, let's be honest, you're talking about the cartels and people ask that question about Texas all the time.
00:31:12.000 We've got Boy Scout troops that are more well-armed than the cartels, okay, in Texas.
00:31:17.000 I mean, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I think you get the point.
00:31:21.000 These issues that people bring up about that sort of safety and security, understand that 200 other countries around the world have already figured this out.
00:31:32.000 They already defend themselves from attack.
00:31:35.000 As a matter of fact, in the particular instance, as I talked about the border earlier, part of the biggest challenge that we have in Texas is the fact that our border is left unchecked.
00:31:46.000 Right? When you have sheriffs in Texas saying that the federal government has neglected securing the border to
00:31:52.000 such a point that the cartels are effectively in control of the Rio Grande River, guess what?
00:31:58.000 We're already under attack and the federal government is doing nothing about it.
00:32:02.000 Is it preventing Texas from defending itself?
00:32:05.000 Well, I think Texas could take that step.
00:32:08.000 I mean, you know, I've been very critical of Governor Greg Abbott.
00:32:12.000 I know Chad was on the show not too long ago, and Chad and I have talked about this quite a bit.
00:32:17.000 It's been a pretty constant refrain is we want the governor to call an invasion, to declare an invasion, which he allegedly did today, right?
00:32:25.000 But he said that he was invoking that invasion clause under Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S.
00:32:29.000 Constitution, but he gave a laundry list of things that Texas was, in fact, already doing, right?
00:32:36.000 You know, escorting illegal immigrants back to the border, which is effectively catch and release, right?
00:32:42.000 Because they go immediately back into federal custody, who then runs them through the pipeline and ships them all over the United States, gives them asylum, all those sorts of things.
00:32:50.000 You know, increase the gunboats down on the Rio Grande River.
00:32:53.000 We already have those.
00:32:54.000 Right?
00:32:54.000 So, he gave a big... Why doesn't he arrest the people who are traveling them?
00:32:59.000 That includes purported people masquerading as law enforcement.
00:33:04.000 Well, they do that.
00:33:06.000 I mean, to a certain extent.
00:33:07.000 But not to the number... So, you have to go back to... When you hear Greg Abbott talking about Operation Lone Star, we kind of refer to it as Operation Half Measure.
00:33:16.000 Because Operation Lone Star started back when I think Perry, Governor Perry, started working on that issue.
00:33:16.000 Right?
00:33:24.000 And he decided, well, I'm going to increase Department of Public Safety patrols 35, you know, up to 30 miles in from the border.
00:33:31.000 Right?
00:33:32.000 So it wasn't border protection.
00:33:34.000 It was we're going to run traffic patrols to see if maybe we can possibly catch some of these smugglers.
00:33:39.000 Right?
00:33:40.000 And so Abbott's This program has effectively been to expand on that program, but it's not very different at all.
00:33:48.000 You'll hear him say that he's put National Guard down on the border, and in fact he has.
00:33:52.000 So if they catch some illegal immigrants and then bring them to the border, and then a couple guys show up claiming they're with the federal government and bring them back in, what does Texas do?
00:34:05.000 So they get turned over into federal custody.
00:34:07.000 Who's they?
00:34:08.000 The illegal immigrants.
00:34:10.000 So when they are interdicted by the state, they get taken back to the border, which immediately puts them back into federal custody.
00:34:18.000 The federal government will put them in detention centers, or in some cases put them up in hotels that they rent with taxpayer money.
00:34:24.000 Then those illegal immigrants are processed out of that facility, handed over effectively to NGOs who take taxpayer money, give them funds, and then ship them around the country.
00:34:34.000 So generally you'll see that pipeline happen where they are transferred from those detention facilities to the airports in Houston or San Antonio.
00:34:44.000 They are lined up.
00:34:45.000 They're given cash payments, in most instances, of your tax money funneled through these NGOs like Catholic Charities.
00:34:53.000 They're given it in an envelope.
00:34:54.000 The coyotes come out of line.
00:34:56.000 They take their cut.
00:34:57.000 They get on the plane and get flown out to God only knows where, right?
00:35:01.000 And then the coyote pops out of line and goes back and runs the whole gamut again.
00:35:05.000 And so the federal government, when we're critical about the federal government on the border, This is not just neglect, right?
00:35:12.000 This is intentional.
00:35:14.000 What's happening down there on the border, they are facilitating this.
00:35:18.000 And our criticism for Governor Abbott has been he has not taken strong enough measures.
00:35:22.000 Look, our organization has advocated for years and years and years.
00:35:27.000 What needs to happen is, rather than calling up the National Guard, Texas has a three-branch military called the Texas Military Department.
00:35:32.000 Two branches of it are National Guard, but one is State Guard.
00:35:36.000 We've advocated that Greg Abbott and the legislature should effectively shift funds from the National Guard units in the Texas Military Department Well, so what?
00:35:47.000 I don't care about a constitutional crisis.
00:35:49.000 and then declare an invasion and have Governor Abbott as the Commander-in-Chief of the Texas
00:35:52.000 military forces deploy them down as a border protection force.
00:35:55.000 And if the federal government didn't like it, they could go pound sand.
00:35:58.000 And the big fear is, on their part, is that it will cause a constitutional crisis.
00:36:03.000 Well, so what?
00:36:04.000 I don't care about a constitutional crisis.
00:36:06.000 I have a border crisis and an invasion that's happening that any sovereign, self-governing,
00:36:11.000 independent nation could take care of, but we're not allowed to.
00:36:15.000 But that is one of the reasons that people are clamoring to have Texas.
00:36:18.000 Because self-governing, independent nations get to take care of their borders.
00:36:21.000 Let me pull up a story from TimCast.com that should really grind your gears.
00:36:24.000 New York City to house migrants in four-star hotel where rooms cost hundreds per night.
00:36:30.000 How come I don't get a four-star hotel?
00:36:33.000 My taxpayer dollars paying for these people?
00:36:35.000 This is the crazy thing about what's been going on, that we've got this massive breach of the southern border, seems only to be getting worse, and then even when these people come in and are shipped around the country, these cities are propping them up, putting them up, and giving them the gold star treatment.
00:36:50.000 Meanwhile, you've got Americans suffering under the opioid crisis, you've got unemployment skyrocketing, inflation, But it's the non-citizens who are being given all the privileges and the benefits.
00:36:59.000 This is why a lot of people, like, you know, aside from Texas, people are saying peaceful divorce or whatever you want to call it.
00:37:05.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, the term that flies around a lot is national divorce.
00:37:10.000 And, you know, you see all these maps of people with different counties and, you know, the red should bet.
00:37:15.000 But that's not how this works, right?
00:37:16.000 The good news is we've got about 75 or 80 years of world history to look at to see how this thing goes down.
00:37:23.000 And the thing that I think should motivate people is to understand that this sort of divorce that we're talking about, states withdrawing from the Union, It relieves a tremendous amount of the pressure, right?
00:37:36.000 I mean, how many articles have you seen recently where people are saying there's another civil war coming, right?
00:37:41.000 Has it already started?
00:37:43.000 But understand that when you allow states to stand up and be self-governing independent nations, they have the ability to say, let California govern California, let Texas govern Texas, let New York govern New York, And we can do like every other self-governing independent nation around the world.
00:37:58.000 We can trade with one another.
00:37:59.000 We can travel between one another.
00:38:00.000 We can agree to defend one another when we have common national defense concerns.
00:38:05.000 We can do the things that honestly the founders and framers probably envisioned for a union of the states much better than having to take a knee to two and a half million unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.
00:38:17.000 Texas was also an independent country for about ten years.
00:38:20.000 Five years I think?
00:38:22.000 We got a solid nine in.
00:38:24.000 Nine years!
00:38:25.000 Nine years they were their own country.
00:38:27.000 And again what New York City's doing is taking tax dollars, probably also from the federal government, and putting people in hotels right outside homeless drug dens where the average citizen there is of course affected by the opioid epidemic that of course was engineered by Big Pharma and the regulators Tim, I'm also seeing what you're seeing.
00:38:45.000 I don't know if you want to talk about it specifically.
00:38:47.000 Seeing what?
00:38:48.000 What is happening to Rumble?
00:38:50.000 Yeah, Rumble's crashing.
00:38:52.000 But I also wanted to let you know that The Guardian on YouTube is having a live stream of Trump's announcement as well.
00:38:59.000 The Guardian on YouTube?
00:39:01.000 The Guardian on YouTube.
00:39:02.000 So I think also if we play their stream, if we get in trouble and they don't, it shows a lot of hypocrisy that they're able to show the live stream and we're not able to show the live stream.
00:39:12.000 I'm on The Guardian's YouTube.
00:39:14.000 So hold on, I'm gonna find out right now the exact title and the exact channel.
00:39:21.000 It's Guardian News.
00:39:23.000 It's the channel with 2.9 million followers and it's called Donald Trump Expected to Yeah, so that's live right now, and that safeguards us a little bit as Rumble is down.
00:39:34.000 We could watch that here.
00:39:34.000 Yeah, the concern here is that Trump's going to say things, and YouTube did this.
00:39:39.000 I think they did to Crystal and Sager over at Breaking Points.
00:39:42.000 They've done it to RSBN.
00:39:44.000 They've done it to major—I think even, like, ABC got hit once.
00:39:48.000 I think it was maybe Fox.
00:39:50.000 Because you report on what Trump says, they shut you down, and it's the craziest thing.
00:39:56.000 Well, YouTube popped us.
00:39:57.000 We did.
00:39:58.000 So last session, we filed the Texas Independence Referendum Act.
00:40:02.000 The committee didn't give it a hearing.
00:40:04.000 State Affairs didn't give it a hearing.
00:40:05.000 So we did what was effectively a virtual hearing.
00:40:07.000 We had voters submit videos in the style of testimony, and we ran it, and the whole thing was like 24 hours worth of testimony.
00:40:17.000 And we streamed portions of it on YouTube as we did it.
00:40:21.000 And sure enough, man, we got popped with a community strike, or one of those violations, for testimony.
00:40:28.000 Like, literally, testimony of voters.
00:40:30.000 And there was none of that, you know, it wasn't people talking about the voter fraud or anything else.
00:40:35.000 I will stress this, though.
00:40:37.000 I will file a lawsuit in 30 minutes if YouTube does that to us, because we have a contractual agreement.
00:40:44.000 And this is where Alex Berenson actually won with Twitter.
00:40:48.000 There's a contractual agreement that every user has with the platform they use, especially for a show like ours that is a financial contract, that we produce content, revenue is sold by YouTube, the revenue is split.
00:41:03.000 If they breach that contract by suspending our access without us doing anything wrong, then I'm going to hold them personally responsible for the lost revenue and then demand an immediate reinstatement.
00:41:15.000 And at the very least, you know, the strike lasts about a week, but I'll pursue it, you know, all the way to the end to get that money back.
00:41:23.000 The point is this.
00:41:24.000 No one here Go get them, Tiger.
00:41:26.000 claiming there's fraud.
00:41:28.000 No one on this show, if Donald Trump makes some statement that violates their rules,
00:41:33.000 it is not us doing a show and offering commentary.
00:41:36.000 They can play those games all they want, but you know, all soon, two seconds.
00:41:40.000 It doesn't mean we'll win.
00:41:41.000 Go get them, Tiger.
00:41:42.000 Well, that's what we saw.
00:41:43.000 Alex Berenson got suspended from Twitter.
00:41:46.000 And they successfully sued, saying that Twitter made an agreement that he would be given notice
00:41:51.000 of anything he did wrong, and they didn't.
00:41:53.000 They just removed him.
00:41:54.000 And they removed him because the White House was pressuring Twitter to do so.
00:41:57.000 So he got reinstated.
00:41:59.000 There's also a very compelling case showing, hey, The Guardian and the corporate media get to do this.
00:42:04.000 Why can't we do this if it's really a violation of their rules and regulations?
00:42:08.000 Why are they allowed to do it and we aren't?
00:42:11.000 And this has been happening throughout so many years on YouTube specifically allowing the corporate media to play by a different set of rules while of course Hurting people that do exactly what they do, showing the same footage, showing the same kind of accounts, making the same kind of arguments, showing the same debates.
00:42:27.000 But if you don't have the connections with, of course, the establishment, if you're not the corporate media, if you're not the approved press, you get punished and dinged by it.
00:42:36.000 How can a judge see something like that and say, yeah, this is accurate, this is totally okay?
00:42:40.000 for a multinational corporation to do on the world stage when it comes to a major information highway.
00:42:45.000 When it comes to the public interest, the public good, it's absolutely inexcusable what YouTube has been doing recently, and it deserves to be pushed back on.
00:42:54.000 I think it also is important if someone on your show starts spouting off and saying things that violate the site's terms of service that you push back and explain that that's violating terms of service and you can't...
00:43:04.000 But is the Guardian going to do that?
00:43:05.000 Is the Guardian, if Trump says something, is the Guardian going to stop the stream and say, Trump was wrong?
00:43:10.000 Are they going to do that?
00:43:11.000 No.
00:43:11.000 We will do that.
00:43:12.000 And it's important that we do because people need to know what the terms of service are, firstly, and why things are happening the way they're happening so they don't get confused.
00:43:18.000 But where do you have reporting and where do you have commentary?
00:43:22.000 I don't know what this is all about.
00:43:23.000 What is?
00:43:23.000 Is this video unavailable?
00:43:25.000 The video's not private.
00:43:26.000 The Guardian went and made it public.
00:43:27.000 They're like, oh, they're onto us!
00:43:27.000 They're watching the show.
00:43:28.000 It's no longer a secret.
00:43:30.000 Yeah, it's gone.
00:43:30.000 The Guardian just shut down.
00:43:32.000 The Rumble's back up from what I'm seeing.
00:43:34.000 But why did the Guardian shut down their stream?
00:43:36.000 Maybe they were like, oh, we're gonna get banned.
00:43:39.000 I'll say this.
00:43:41.000 What YouTube has done with the censorship rules has created this ridiculous media system that If we host an interview with someone, and that individual says bad things, we are held responsible for it.
00:43:58.000 So what, don't interview anybody ever again?
00:43:59.000 Right, right.
00:44:00.000 How are we going to challenge bad ideas?
00:44:03.000 How can we put really bad ideas in check?
00:44:06.000 We can't.
00:44:06.000 And when you have so much censorship, you not only destroy the narrative, but you essentially try to, of course, have some kind of psychotic mind control by not even explaining the rules clearly.
00:44:19.000 The terms and services are very vague.
00:44:21.000 They're very generalized.
00:44:22.000 And many times people get punished and they're not even told these vague generalized rules.
00:44:27.000 And they have to self-censor themselves, which destroys the discourse and destroys human progression.
00:44:32.000 Human progression is on parallel with free speech.
00:44:35.000 The more you deny free speech, the less humans prosper.
00:44:39.000 And it's ridiculous.
00:44:40.000 You know, speaking of challenging bad ideas, I want to talk about secession.
00:44:43.000 I'm just kidding.
00:44:44.000 That was nice.
00:44:44.000 That was a joke, by the way.
00:44:45.000 I do want to talk about it.
00:44:46.000 But your deadpan delivery threw me.
00:44:47.000 Did you like it?
00:44:48.000 I'm actually very concerned about it because it's what kicked off the Civil War.
00:44:51.000 The first American Civil War was a secession movement.
00:44:54.000 Wouldn't it be great that it'll prevent one this time?
00:44:56.000 Well, what I'm concerned about is a situation where Texas is like, we're out, we voted, we're done, and the federal government's like, nah, that's our oil, we send it around the country, that's our Gulf of Mexico access, we want it, and we need that Mexican trade route, so we're taking it back.
00:45:11.000 You can't walk with our property.
00:45:13.000 And then there's just, comes to blows, other states are like, hey, federal government, you can't just go in on a state like that, they're sovereign!
00:45:18.000 Then they join the secessionist movement, something like that again, and how would you avoid something like that?
00:45:24.000 Well, I think what we're doing is trying to avoid that.
00:45:27.000 I mean, that's why we're following a process.
00:45:29.000 And this is what I tell people, you know, the good news is, is that when we woke up today, it wasn't the 1800s, right?
00:45:36.000 So, post-Civil War, the world kept spinning, things started happening, and the position on this has evolved quite a bit, right?
00:45:43.000 So, you look at what the federal government has done, literally since 1945, I'd say, you know, post-World War II.
00:45:51.000 They've sent our grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, some of the people probably watching today, our sons and daughters, I can include my son, off to fight, protect, bleed, some instances die for the right of self-determination for other people.
00:46:04.000 So, what we're talking about here in this process is effectively the process that we have seen the United States protect around the world, which is, you put a question of this importance to the people, you let them debate the issue, and then you let them vote on it, and then you respect the outcome of the vote.
00:46:20.000 Now, that being said, you know, could the federal government react poorly?
00:46:25.000 Sure they could.
00:46:26.000 But, you know, what does that say then, ultimately, about the federal government?
00:46:30.000 What does it say?
00:46:30.000 Right?
00:46:31.000 Because at the moment they begin to start acting like Bashar al-Assad or North Korea or, you know, any of these other folks, I mean, they pretty well just told us exactly what we're doing.
00:46:40.000 They've legitimized our position and why the people of Texas voted that way anyway.
00:46:44.000 Do you think that Abe Lincoln reacted poorly when he started a war to stop the secession?
00:46:50.000 Do I think he reacted poorly?
00:46:51.000 Yeah, I believe Abe Lincoln probably reacted poorly.
00:46:54.000 I think that probably could have been him, but here's the thing.
00:46:56.000 I'm not here to adjudicate the past, right?
00:46:59.000 I'm not here to try to look back and second-guess what happened in the 1800s.
00:47:04.000 I'm here to try to look forward to see what Texas can do to prevent what's happening to it right now.
00:47:10.000 We're about 14 or 15 minutes away from Trump making that announcement, but we're talking about censorship, so I want to pull up this story from the Post Millennial.
00:47:17.000 Breaking!
00:47:18.000 Elon Musk welcomes Ligma and Johnson back to Twitter.
00:47:22.000 So these are two former employees.
00:47:24.000 They're getting their jobs back.
00:47:25.000 Congratulations to Ligma and Johnson for getting your jobs back.
00:47:30.000 No, I'm just kidding.
00:47:31.000 These guys, they hoaxed the media.
00:47:33.000 Walked out of Twitter HQ carrying boxes and then claimed that they had been fired.
00:47:37.000 The Post Millennial now reports In an unexpected, heartwarming move, Elon Musk welcomed back, quote, former employees Ligma and Johnson to Twitter headquarters today.
00:47:47.000 Rahul Ligma and Daniel Johnson are fictitious names used by two pranksters who were able to dupe mainstream media into believing that they were woke Twitter employees who had just been fired.
00:47:56.000 Not everybody was, uh, it wasn't just the mainstream media that fell for it.
00:47:59.000 I, of course, did a report on it mentioning they thought that it was a hoax.
00:48:04.000 So, uh, turns out it was.
00:48:06.000 But the reason I bring this story up While we're dealing with the insane rules of YouTube and the ridiculous policies that it's impossible to adhere to, for a long period I wasn't getting demonetized anymore.
00:48:21.000 As soon as we get into election season, all the videos are demonetized.
00:48:25.000 And it's very, very obvious.
00:48:27.000 Here's what happens.
00:48:28.000 YouTube, my understanding is they use third-party monetization checkers or whatever.
00:48:34.000 They said that my politics talk, talking about, like, the polls are here and here, was dangerous or gratuitous violence.
00:48:43.000 Demonetized.
00:48:44.000 I then have to contact my rep at Google and say, hey, they're doing it again, and they go, oh, sorry about that, we'll fix it.
00:48:51.000 My response is, no, no, not sorry about it, we'll fix it.
00:48:54.000 At a certain point when you have an observable pattern of Twitter's, I'm sorry, of YouTube's contractors lying to strip ads off the content, you have got a breach of contract.
00:49:06.000 And I shouldn't have to then go to someone at Google and be like, oh, by the way, your guys are lying again.
00:49:11.000 Now all my videos automatically demonetized.
00:49:11.000 Yeah.
00:49:14.000 24 hours after the videos get all of their hits, then they get remonetized, which of course leaves me with barely any money.
00:49:21.000 My income on YouTube, by the way, went down one fourth of what it used to be in these key particular times as my viewership has skyrocketed more than it ever has before, but my income is at its lowest that it has on YouTube.
00:49:33.000 What's going on there?
00:49:34.000 I mean, obviously it's just ridiculous.
00:49:37.000 Instagram right now reinstated a warning whenever you sign up to my account.
00:49:42.000 Whenever you try to follow me on Instagram, at LukeWeAreChangerOrNot, it will tell you, do you sure you want to follow this guy?
00:49:48.000 He spreads a lot of fake news.
00:49:50.000 What kind of fake news am I spreading?
00:49:51.000 I'm spreading memes!
00:49:52.000 And one of our guests just tweeted the photo of this warning telling people not to sign there.
00:49:58.000 I can't even search for you.
00:49:59.000 Yeah, LukeWeAreChange on Instagram, and it wouldn't surprise me if they banned me to the point where you can't even find me.
00:50:06.000 But there's a photo that I just tweeted on Twitter showing specifically, do not follow this guy, he's spreading disinformation.
00:50:12.000 I spread memes, that's all I do.
00:50:14.000 Memes that you could interpret in many different ways.
00:50:16.000 You should sue for defamation.
00:50:17.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:50:19.000 Absolutely, because it's... This account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact-checkers or went against our community guidelines.
00:50:26.000 I think you should file a lawsuit.
00:50:28.000 Let's do it.
00:50:29.000 If there's a lawyer, let's do this right now.
00:50:31.000 Hit me up.
00:50:32.000 I know a guy.
00:50:37.000 Let's do it right now.
00:50:38.000 Luke, we are, and you don't come up.
00:50:40.000 And I'm following you already, and you still don't come up.
00:50:42.000 James Lawrence.
00:50:43.000 We had him on the show.
00:50:44.000 Hit him up, and send a demand letter that they've defamed you.
00:50:49.000 They've accused you of something.
00:50:51.000 That is untrue.
00:50:53.000 Absolutely untrue, because the things that they got me on are ridiculous.
00:50:57.000 They got me because I showed a picture of all the jets at the World Economic Forum meeting.
00:51:04.000 It was a legit photo.
00:51:05.000 And they said, no, no, no, it's a fake photo, because some people are sharing that with another photo that's fake.
00:51:09.000 And I'm like, what?
00:51:10.000 That makes no sense at all.
00:51:11.000 The fact-checkers have been wrong time and time again.
00:51:14.000 They are there to stifle any kind of legitimate conversations.
00:51:18.000 They're there to attack comedy.
00:51:19.000 They're there to go after humor.
00:51:21.000 I'm here just to make people laugh.
00:51:23.000 You can interpret memes and pictures in so many different ways, and for them to objectively say, you are bad because you made people laugh.
00:51:30.000 My income and my bottom line is, of course, when people can't find me, when people are told not to follow me, this is the predominant way of me making my income.
00:51:38.000 This is how I make my livelihood.
00:51:40.000 And, you know, let's show a big middle finger to Instagram.
00:51:45.000 Go on, at LukeWeAreChange, and let's fight the algorithms.
00:51:48.000 Let's fight all this censorship and all this bullcrap, because it's more important than ever that our voices are heard, because they're trying to silence us for a very specific reason.
00:51:55.000 Here's the important thing I'll add.
00:51:57.000 When you get, they say, you know, posted false information or whatever by fact-checkers, that's actually not what a lot of it is.
00:52:03.000 Some of it's missing context, which is not false information.
00:52:06.000 And if that's the case, if Instagram has flagged your account, Luke, saying you've posted false information that's been reviewed by fact-checkers, you should go through your posts, because I know for a fact some of them were just like, this post is missing context.
00:52:18.000 In which case, Facebook or Meta's automatic system assumes if you get flagged it was for posting false information.
00:52:27.000 That's a huge error.
00:52:28.000 They've issued a statement outside of what the fact-checkers actually said.
00:52:32.000 I think you would win that.
00:52:33.000 You'd send a demand letter and you'd win in two seconds.
00:52:35.000 Absolutely.
00:52:36.000 Let's begin the process right now because it's just getting ridiculous.
00:52:39.000 I've been dealing with this stuff for over 12 years now and it's only getting worse and worse and worse.
00:52:45.000 This is why I brought up Elon Musk.
00:52:48.000 Because actually, I think it's starting to get better.
00:52:51.000 Elon Musk is going on Twitter and just laughing at the woke employees that he's firing, and he's ragging on Democrats.
00:52:57.000 He's saying Democrats won't be investigated for financial crimes.
00:53:01.000 It's just, I mean, this is pretty good news, you know.
00:53:05.000 There's some questions about whether or not Elon Musk can pull this off, and Twitter might actually go out of business.
00:53:10.000 We'll see.
00:53:10.000 But hey, I'll take it, right?
00:53:12.000 Yeah, I mean, this is why I've been so optimistic about Twitter.
00:53:16.000 Again, we should be a little bit critical of Elon Musk, but at the same time, he's promising something that could change the game, that could make the world a better place, just by allowing people to talk to each other, just by allowing comedy on the platform.
00:53:27.000 And this is why this whole Ligma Johnson thing?
00:53:29.000 Brilliant!
00:53:30.000 Smart!
00:53:30.000 It's making people laugh.
00:53:31.000 It's silly.
00:53:32.000 It's ridiculous.
00:53:33.000 It's a pun on something that people should be making jokes about.
00:53:37.000 There's something interesting, too, because I retweeted this.
00:53:40.000 We have Noah Sanders just superchatted that Quartering reported Elon is offering 10% over YouTube to larger channels.
00:53:46.000 I've not heard that directly, but I know he's tweeted.
00:53:49.000 Someone tweeted that if Elon offered 10% more than YouTube paid to content creators, those creators would move to Twitter.
00:53:58.000 Yes, that is a fact.
00:53:59.000 Elon, if you made a video page for my Twitter profile, I would upload my content there, and if you monetized it.
00:54:09.000 When I post videos on Twitter, I often get more views than I do on YouTube, but there's just kind of no point.
00:54:14.000 For one, my videos are longer, and you don't really get anything for doing it.
00:54:19.000 If Elon Musk does create a video monetization function, then Then it's there.
00:54:23.000 People are saying that there was a live skip during my rant about censorship as well on the platform.
00:54:28.000 But I don't know.
00:54:30.000 I gotta fact check that as well.
00:54:31.000 But if Elon Musk even does less than 20% of what YouTube is doing right now, I'm jumping.
00:54:37.000 Because it's an alternative platform that is promising to follow basic guidelines and to just allow speech that is free, that is legal.
00:54:48.000 And that is worth Any amount of money.
00:54:50.000 That is worth all the money in the world right now, because if I'm able to just say whatever I want, if I'm not having to self-censor myself, if I'm not having to walk this tight line, if I'm able to be my true authentic self and just speak freely from the top of my mind, that's a gift.
00:55:04.000 Give me less income.
00:55:05.000 Give me half of what YouTube's giving me.
00:55:06.000 I'll be on your platform immediately, right now.
00:55:09.000 Well look, the same people that are doing this to speech are the same people that do it in economics as well, that love to put their thumb on the scale and pick winners and losers.
00:55:19.000 Ultimately, what we're saying is let the marketplace of ideas prevail.
00:55:23.000 If an idea sucks, the people will let you know sooner rather than later.
00:55:28.000 Stop curating and treating us like small children.
00:55:31.000 Stop telling us what we should be looking at.
00:55:32.000 Stop trying to shove corporate propaganda down our throat.
00:55:35.000 We don't want to watch your bullcrap.
00:55:37.000 We don't want to watch the woke movies, the nonsense, and all this nonsensical idiocy.
00:55:42.000 We don't want any of that.
00:55:43.000 We want legitimate, real, honest conversations, and that's something that we are being denied of.
00:55:48.000 We're being denied the access to laugh at things in order to not make them as serious as they are.
00:55:53.000 We're being denied the ability to find out what's ... really happening in this world so we can make the right ... decisions and not be heard over and screwed over by the ... most powerful people in this world we're being screwed over ... more and more by these powerful special interest by ... Big Pharma and all these other criminals out there that ... profit off of your ignorance society's becoming dumber and ... more and more stupid mainly because of this censorship ... and it needs to end and it needs to end now.
00:56:18.000 Yeah.
00:56:18.000 Too many people want to be there.
00:56:20.000 Or it could be a deliberate attack.
00:56:23.000 Could be that too.
00:56:25.000 Because now it's like, okay, YouTube's not going to allow this.
00:56:28.000 Rumble is.
00:56:29.000 Let's all go to Rumble and watch this speech.
00:56:31.000 As of course, YouTube is going to be most likely censoring.
00:56:34.000 This is why The Guardian maybe just stopped their live feed.
00:56:36.000 They got it up now.
00:56:37.000 We got the live feed.
00:56:40.000 Is that Jared Kushner over there?
00:56:42.000 We're about five minutes out.
00:56:43.000 It looks like Kushner.
00:56:45.000 About five minutes out.
00:56:46.000 Him being there.
00:56:47.000 I could tell because we just dropped 10,000 concurrent viewers.
00:56:51.000 Everyone's jumping to go watch.
00:56:53.000 Hey, keep watching our show, you guys.
00:56:55.000 Well, you know.
00:56:55.000 Watch both at the same time.
00:56:56.000 Do whatever you want.
00:56:57.000 We should lower the volume because it's coming into the headphones.
00:57:00.000 YouTube used to have that hardcore, say anything you want.
00:57:02.000 Not anything, obviously.
00:57:04.000 We were within the bounds of law always, but Just this wild West, this is like 2006.
00:57:09.000 You would say anything to anybody and they would say it back and you would have the most deep, intense, painful, enlightening conversations with people about real world issues, about people's feelings and it created community.
00:57:20.000 It created like a sense of strength.
00:57:22.000 Google was so into it that they bought the company.
00:57:24.000 Like YouTube, this is before Google owned them.
00:57:26.000 And then one of my friends got banned.
00:57:29.000 Warren 25 was his screen name.
00:57:30.000 And it was like the first banning on YouTube.
00:57:33.000 And I was erratic about it.
00:57:34.000 There's a video of Warren 25 smash banned or something where I'm losing my mind about it.
00:57:39.000 And I was concerned since once you start getting corporate conglomeration and that the history has shown that the company will try and take control.
00:57:47.000 Once you start punishing people for expressing an opinion, you're the bad guy.
00:57:51.000 You're the baddie, okay?
00:57:54.000 It's as simple as that.
00:57:56.000 Throughout human history, the people who censor other individuals, they're not the good guys.
00:57:59.000 They're the bad guys.
00:58:01.000 Man, I can't.
00:58:03.000 It looks like the Guardian take it down again.
00:58:07.000 Maybe it's not them.
00:58:08.000 There we go, there we go.
00:58:09.000 That's so weird.
00:58:09.000 What's going on with this?
00:58:11.000 Well, you know, I mean, to piggyback off of what you were saying, I mean, the thing we have to remember And there is a certain course of people out there that say, that say, look, we've got, you know, these guys are private companies, they can do whatever.
00:58:26.000 They're not private!
00:58:27.000 But they're not.
00:58:27.000 The moment they took dollar one of taxpayer money, right, they became a public forum.
00:58:32.000 Not just that, the DHS is literally telling them, you're gonna ban this person, this person, this person.
00:58:38.000 They're not gonna be allowed to have a voice.
00:58:39.000 They're making fun of Fauci here.
00:58:41.000 That's a parody account.
00:58:42.000 That's not allowed here.
00:58:43.000 We can't be making fun of our politicians.
00:58:45.000 We need to have control of the narrative because when we do, we have control of the people.
00:58:49.000 Quite literally, they're not a private company anymore when they go public.
00:58:52.000 They're now a public company.
00:58:53.000 A lot of people are saying, Luke, they jumped you.
00:58:54.000 different laws and regulations for public social networks.
00:58:57.000 Well, I just want to show you my list, so I don't make it up.
00:58:59.000 There's also In-Q-Tel.
00:59:01.000 The whole thing from the very beginning stinks to high heaven.
00:59:04.000 A lot of people are saying, Luke, they jumped you.
00:59:07.000 And our viewership jumped back up.
00:59:09.000 When we dropped viewers, I was seeing viewers drop, and I was like, oh, it must be because
00:59:13.000 people are jumping over.
00:59:14.000 Not because the cessation guy's on?
00:59:16.000 No, no, it went back up, which typically means, for those people, the stream stopped working.
00:59:21.000 Everyone's saying, mid-rant, I was cut off.
00:59:24.000 I bet there's a lot of global madness right now because Trump's about to say something.
00:59:28.000 Remember when you were talking about the CIA and you got cut off as well?
00:59:30.000 Yep.
00:59:31.000 And then we stopped talking about the CIA, and then we got back on, and then we started talking about the CIA again, and they started coming... I was like, there's like, uh, feds who are watching the show, and they have their finger on the throttle button.
00:59:41.000 Maybe.
00:59:42.000 Eating donuts.
00:59:43.000 Remember when I was talking about God, and then you lost control of the machine, like, a couple weeks ago?
00:59:47.000 You're like, I can't control this thing, what's going on?
00:59:48.000 What do you mean?
00:59:49.000 It was like, two or three weeks ago, I was like, really intensely feeling, like, emotions about God or something, and you were like, I can't control this machine!
00:59:54.000 I was like, get ready for it, it's gonna happen more.
00:59:56.000 Oh, like the monitors flicker, like some weird thing happened, and then all of a sudden I was like, what's going on?
01:00:00.000 Also, it's official.
01:00:01.000 According to the Federal Election Commission, Trump has officially announced that he's going to be running for 2024.
01:00:08.000 It's official right now.
01:00:10.000 I'm so excited!
01:00:10.000 It's been announced!
01:00:12.000 He has officially filed the paperwork to be president of the United States in 2024.
01:00:14.000 Do you have that on Twitter?
01:00:16.000 I'm tweeting it right now.
01:00:18.000 I got a text from someone saying, Luke's rant got clipped.
01:00:23.000 That's funny.
01:00:25.000 Well, I guess you'll have to do it again.
01:00:27.000 Oh, isn't it funny, though?
01:00:28.000 It's just like, at least we can laugh about it.
01:00:30.000 Yeah.
01:00:30.000 Well, my YouTube channel's WeAreChanged.
01:00:32.000 That's been getting hit all the time from the very beginning, so again, I think it's more important.
01:00:39.000 OG Demonetized.
01:00:40.000 Luke was the first demonetized channel.
01:00:41.000 I think it's more important than ever to make sure people follow people on their original platforms.
01:00:46.000 I had a members area for about 10 years.
01:00:48.000 I know you have your members area.
01:00:50.000 Mine's just LukeOnSensor.com, but it's more important than ever to go on independent websites, support your independent content creator, because if you guys don't do it, there's no other way for us to make a living out here, especially for me, myself, with YouTube automatically demonetizing everything and then monetizing it when no one's watching the videos again.
01:01:07.000 It's absolutely ridiculous.
01:01:09.000 I think if you Google You can pull up the FEC filing.
01:01:15.000 Maybe not, maybe not.
01:01:17.000 I just tweeted it right now.
01:01:19.000 You tweeted it?
01:01:20.000 It's at LukeBRChange.
01:01:21.000 When you were saying your stuff was getting demonetized then a day later, were you actually like contacting them or was it automatic?
01:01:27.000 I have no one to contact.
01:01:28.000 There's no one to contact at YouTube for the majority of creators.
01:01:31.000 Is there a button that you click?
01:01:32.000 So every time I release a video, automatically demonetized, and then you click, you know, review, 24 hours or more, green.
01:01:39.000 It's good to go.
01:01:40.000 But then no one's watching the video.
01:01:41.000 Right.
01:01:42.000 Most of the money's made in the first 24 hours.
01:01:44.000 Most of the views are in the first 24 hours.
01:01:44.000 Exactly.
01:01:47.000 So that's how they get you.
01:01:48.000 That's how they hit you.
01:01:49.000 Again, so signing up to TimCast.com, signing up to LukeUncensored.com, This is the way that we need to do this because there's no other way of supporting content creators because the old models are gone.
01:02:00.000 Also, Daniel, what's your website?
01:02:02.000 Oh, we got it.
01:02:03.000 That's right.
01:02:03.000 Yeah, I got the link.
01:02:05.000 Luke posted the image.
01:02:06.000 I'm gonna post the link along with it of Donald Trump's official... I'm tweeting this out.
01:02:12.000 Donald Trump's official FEC filing is now available.
01:02:15.000 Link at... on Twitter, at TimCast.
01:02:18.000 And...
01:02:20.000 There it is.
01:02:21.000 Oh, it's a similar.
01:02:22.000 Here we go.
01:02:23.000 It's happening.
01:02:23.000 It's coming.
01:02:28.000 Everyone's got their phones out.
01:02:29.000 They're singing Les Mis.
01:02:35.000 Great musical.
01:02:37.000 But it's about the French Revolution.
01:02:38.000 Where's the escalator?
01:02:39.000 Gentlemen, please welcome the next president and first lady of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump, accompanied by Mrs. Melania Trump.

01:03:29.000 There should be more showmanship here.
01:03:34.000 So he filed, I tweeted it out.
01:03:35.000 You can, there it is.
01:03:37.000 Yeah, he's officially announced.
01:03:38.000 I mean, you don't know.
01:03:39.000 He could be skydiving into the skylight.
01:03:41.000 I mean, we don't know.
01:03:42.000 Could be a body double.
01:03:43.000 I'm hoping.
01:03:43.000 Yeah.
01:03:44.000 Don't assume his entrance.
01:03:47.000 It could be burst out of somebody's stomach.
01:03:48.000 You know, you never know.
01:03:49.000 Alien style.
01:03:52.000 Okay, well, skydiving's off the table.
01:03:59.000 This song is so cheap.
01:04:00.000 I mean, it was probably cool when it came out, but it's old.
01:04:04.000 I like the song, really.
01:04:05.000 I think it's a great song.
01:04:07.000 If there's one song you're gonna come out to, if you're Donald Trump, this is it.
01:04:11.000 That's really weird, because that's the French Revolution stuff.
01:04:13.000 There he is!
01:04:14.000 He's looking good, huh?
01:04:17.000 Actually, yeah.
01:04:17.000 He did look like he was getting younger.
01:04:20.000 The first thing he's gonna say is like, They stole it from me!
01:04:32.000 No, no, let's hear it.
01:04:33.000 I'm excited for this, guys.
01:04:34.000 This is going to be an awesome next couple of years.

01:04:46.000 We need a WWE introduction here.
01:04:49.000 Lee Greenwood gotta get paid, yo.

01:04:53.000 No more.
01:04:54.000 Lee Greenwood's over there going dollar dollar bills, y'all.
01:04:57.000 Where's the fireworks?
01:04:58.000 Start talking.
01:04:58.000 Come on, Trump.
01:05:02.000 It's one thing to be proud of what you've done.
01:05:04.000 If you're just proud that you were born here, it's kind of like gloating.
01:05:07.000 I disagree.
01:05:08.000 I don't know.
01:05:09.000 We're the luckiest people on the face of this earth.
01:05:11.000 Lucky, but why wouldn't we be proud?
01:05:13.000 Here we go, here we go.
01:05:13.000 Thank you very much.
01:05:13.000 USA!
01:05:26.000 And on behalf of Melania, myself, and our entire family, I want to thank you all for being here tonight.
01:05:33.000 It's a very special occasion at a very special place.
01:05:37.000 You and all of those watching are the heart and soul of this incredible movement and the greatest country in the history of the world.
01:05:46.000 It's very simple.
01:05:49.000 There has never been anything like it.
01:05:54.000 This great movement of ours, never been anything like it, and perhaps there will never be anything like it again.
01:06:02.000 There's never been anything to compete with what we have all done.
01:06:06.000 Thank you.
01:06:11.000 Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens,
01:06:16.000 America's comeback starts right now.
01:06:20.000 Wow.
01:06:22.000 Two years ago, when I left office, the United States stood ready for its golden age.
01:06:33.000 Our nation was at the pinnacle of power, prosperity, and prestige, towering above all rivals, vanquishing all enemies, and striding into the future confident and so strong.
01:06:46.000 In four short years, everybody was doing great.
01:06:50.000 Men, women, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, everybody was thriving like never
01:06:59.000 before.
01:07:00.000 There was never a time like this.
01:07:10.000 We turned the page on decades of globalist sellouts and one-sided trade deals, lifted millions out of poverty, and together we built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
01:07:22.000 When the virus hit our shores, I took decisive action and saved lives and the U.S.
01:07:27.000 economy.
01:07:28.000 And by October of the same year, America was roaring back with the number one fastest economic recovery ever recorded.
01:07:38.000 How about that?
01:07:43.000 All of the incoming administration and all they had to do was just sit back and watch.
01:07:51.000 Inflation was nonexistent.
01:07:54.000 Our southern border was, by far, the strongest ever.
01:07:58.000 And because the border was so tight, drugs were coming into our country at the lowest level in many, many years.
01:08:05.000 Importantly, after decades of rising energy costs, the United States had finally attained
01:08:11.000 the impossible dream of American energy independence, which soon would have turned into energy dominance.
01:08:25.000 For the first time in memory, China was reeling back on its heels.
01:08:30.000 You've never seen that before.
01:08:32.000 Because the United States was outdoing them on every single front, and China was paying billions and billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs.
01:08:42.000 The farmers know that because they got $28 billion of it.
01:08:46.000 No president had ever sought or received $1 for our country from China until I came along and we were getting hundreds of billions of dollars.
01:08:57.000 Many people think that because of this, China played a very active role In the 2020 election, just saying, just saying.
01:09:07.000 Sure that didn't happen.
01:09:09.000 Instead of jobs and factories leaving America for China, they were, for the first time ever,
01:09:16.000 leaving China for America.
01:09:19.000 Businesses were pouring back because of our historic tax and regulation cuts,
01:09:28.000 the biggest in both categories in history.
01:09:31.000 Bigger even than what Ronald Reagan was able to produce, and he produced a lot.
01:09:38.000 China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea were in check and respected.
01:09:44.000 They respected the United States, and quite honestly, they respected me.
01:09:48.000 I knew them well.
01:09:49.000 I knew them well.
01:09:55.000 The vicious ISIS caliphate, which no president was able to conquer, was decimated by me and our great warriors in less than three weeks, and al-Baghdadi, its founder, was hunted down and killed.
01:10:11.000 North Korea had not launched North Korea had not launched a single long-range missile since my summit with Chairman Kim Jong-un nearly three years before we developed a relationship.
01:10:27.000 And that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
01:10:30.000 It's a good thing.
01:10:32.000 Very good thing, actually, because look at what's happening today.
01:10:37.000 My opponents made me out to be a warmonger and just a terrible person who would immediately go into war.
01:10:46.000 They said during the 2016 campaign that if he becomes president, there will never be a war within weeks.
01:10:53.000 And we will have wars like you've never seen before.
01:10:57.000 It will happen immediately.
01:10:59.000 And yet, I've gone decades, decades, without a war, the first president to do it for that long a period.
01:11:11.000 Here, here.
01:11:14.000 The world was at peace.
01:11:17.000 America was prospering, and our country was on track for an amazing future.
01:11:23.000 Because I made big promises to the American people, and unlike other presidents, I kept my promises. I kept them.
01:11:31.000 I kept my promises.
01:11:45.000 This is good.
01:11:46.000 Good stuff.
01:11:47.000 Thank you very much.
01:11:55.000 Under our leadership, we were a great and glorious nation, something you haven't heard for quite a long period of time.
01:12:03.000 We were a strong nation, and importantly, we were a free nation.
01:12:08.000 But now we are a nation in decline.
01:12:11.000 We're a failing nation.
01:12:13.000 For millions of Americans, the past two years under Joe Biden have been a time of pain, hardship, anxiety, and despair.
01:12:22.000 As we speak, inflation is the highest in over 50 years.
01:12:27.000 Gas prices have reached the highest levels in history and expect them to go much higher now that the strategic national reserves, which I filled up, have been virtually drained in order to keep gasoline prices lower just prior to the election.
01:12:45.000 Joe Biden has intentionally surrendered our energy independence.
01:12:50.000 There is no longer even a thought of dominance.
01:12:52.000 And we are now begging for energy help from foreign nations, many of whom find us detestable.
01:13:00.000 Our southern border has been erased, and our country is being invaded by millions and millions of unknown people, many of whom are entering for a very bad and sinister reason.
01:13:12.000 And you know what that reason is.
01:13:15.000 We will be paying a big price for this invasion into our country for years to come.
01:13:21.000 Hundreds of thousands of pounds of deadly drugs, including very lethal fentanyl, are flooding
01:13:29.000 across the now-open and totally porous southern border.
01:13:33.000 The blood-soaked streets of our once-great cities are cesspools of violent crimes, which are being
01:13:39.000 watched all over the world as leadership of other countries explain that this is what America and
01:13:45.000 democracy is really all about.
01:13:47.000 How sad.
01:13:48.000 The United States has been embarrassed, humiliated, and weakened for all to see.
01:13:55.000 The disasters in Afghanistan, perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, where we lost lives, left Americans behind, and surrendered $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment anywhere in the world.
01:14:14.000 And Ukraine, which would have never happened if I were your president, are something I agree.
01:14:24.000 I don't think we, I don't think the Ukraine thing would have happened if Trump was president.
01:14:27.000 And even the Democrats admit that.
01:14:34.000 That's something I've seen them admit over and over again.
01:14:38.000 But our enemies are speaking of us with scorn and laughter and derision because of those two events.
01:14:48.000 But there are many more, even just today, a missile Was sent in probably by Russia to Poland, 50 miles into Poland.
01:14:59.000 Yeah.
01:15:00.000 And people are going absolutely wild and crazy, and they're not happy.
01:15:06.000 They are very, very angry.
01:15:09.000 Now we have a president who falls asleep at global conferences.
01:15:14.000 Yep.
01:15:16.000 Was held in contempt by the British Parliament over Afghanistan.
01:15:23.000 Thanks to the words of wisdom he said, thank you to the wrong country for inviting him to a major summit on the environment of all things.
01:15:36.000 How long do you think until he formally announces?
01:15:38.000 Soon.
01:15:41.000 Well, since they spoiled it when they said the next president when they introduced him.
01:15:46.000 They basically already announced it.
01:15:46.000 Oh, that's a good point.
01:15:48.000 They basically already announced it.
01:15:50.000 Unimaginable just two short years ago.
01:15:54.000 I want to just stress for everybody who's listening that you should probably... We can't just play Trump speaking without doing a show ourselves for a variety of reasons, but... You know, so we can't just... I don't want to interrupt him.
01:15:54.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:16:10.000 I mean, he was, as Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:16:10.000 Right, right.
01:16:13.000 just said, Trump's rolling hard 20s.
01:16:15.000 So I'm like, I'm reluctant to chime in, but... For us... I have questions already if you guys want to...
01:16:23.000 I say hear him out.
01:16:24.000 Yeah, but we can't just play straight air.
01:16:26.000 You know what I mean?
01:16:27.000 Is it true?
01:16:28.000 Was the southern border the strongest it's ever been under Trump?
01:16:30.000 No.
01:16:31.000 Okay, that was a lie.
01:16:33.000 No.
01:16:34.000 You know, the discussion about building the wall, the wall never happened, right?
01:16:39.000 I mean, there might be pieces and parts, but they're all very small.
01:16:42.000 Here we go.
01:16:43.000 Here we go.
01:16:44.000 Sorry.
01:16:44.000 It doesn't have to be this way.
01:16:46.000 Does not have to be this way.
01:16:48.000 Let's hear it.
01:16:49.000 Surrender in Afghanistan.
01:16:54.000 I was pointing at you, Ian.
01:16:56.000 Two years ago, we were a great nation.
01:17:00.000 And soon, we will be a great nation again.
01:17:04.000 That's what I wanted to hear.
01:17:06.000 The decline of America is being forced upon us by Biden and the radical left lunatics
01:17:16.000 running our government right into the ground.
01:17:19.000 This decline is not a fate we must accept.
01:17:23.000 Agreed.
01:17:23.000 When given the choice, boldly, clearly, and directly, I believe the American people will overwhelmingly reject the left's platform of national ruin, and they will embrace our platform of national greatness and glory to America.
01:17:38.000 Glory.
01:17:40.000 He's nailing it.
01:17:43.000 I want to hear that MAGA talk.
01:17:44.000 Exactly one week ago, our citizens voted in the important midterm elections.
01:17:50.000 And despite a ridiculously long and unnecessary period of waiting, far longer, in fact, than any third world country, just a short time ago, the Republicans won back control of the House of Representatives.
01:18:09.000 Not necessarily, but most likely.
01:18:11.000 We don't know yet.
01:18:12.000 Right.
01:18:13.000 And it was with a great Trump-endorsed candidate, Congressman-elect Kevin Tiley.
01:18:19.000 They're one seat away.
01:18:20.000 Who is a fantastic person.
01:18:24.000 A fantastic person.
01:18:25.000 And I'm very happy it was his vote that did it.
01:18:31.000 So we now won back.
01:18:32.000 This happened just an hour ago.
01:18:35.000 Much criticism is being placed on the fact that the Republican Party should have done better, and frankly, much of this blame is correct.
01:18:44.000 But the citizens of our country have not yet realized the full extent and gravity of the pain our nation is going through.
01:18:50.000 and the total effect of the suffering is just starting to take hold.
01:18:55.000 They don't quite feel it yet, but they will very soon.
01:18:59.000 I have no doubt that by 2024, it will sadly be much worse, and they will see much more clearly what happened and what
01:19:08.000 is happening to our country, and the voting will be much different.
01:19:13.000 And Federman and Senate.
01:19:15.000 That is true.
01:19:15.000 It's going to get really bad financially in the United States.
01:19:17.000 Next year, next year.
01:19:18.000 Absolutely.
01:19:19.000 Especially with energy, especially in Europe, especially international.
01:19:23.000 Are you getting ready?
01:19:25.000 Yeah.
01:19:28.000 He sounds tired, man.
01:19:29.000 It's not the same guy.
01:19:31.000 He sounds more reserved.
01:19:32.000 Yeah.
01:19:32.000 He's doing wispy voice.
01:19:35.000 No, he's doing he's doing it right.
01:19:36.000 I do want to point out that in the midterms, my endorsement success rate was 232 wins and only 22 losses.
01:19:45.000 You don't hear that from the media.
01:19:49.000 Yeah, but how much do you bench?
01:19:51.000 This is an elegant night and an elegant press place, and I'm not going to use the term fake news media.
01:20:00.000 This is going to be so much fun.
01:20:01.000 Oh man, it's been too long.
01:20:02.000 You don't hear that from the media.
01:20:07.000 But I think you will, because people are starting to see what happened.
01:20:11.000 That's some score.
01:20:12.000 And in the primaries, it was 98.6 percent, but they were still trying to blame me.
01:20:20.000 And the reason for the success and that unprecedented success rate is that the Trump administration changed our nation on trade.
01:20:30.000 On securing the border, we're the strongest, safest border ever in the history of our country.
01:20:35.000 On Islamic terrorism, we had practically, just about, not that I can think of, no Islamic attacks, terrorist attacks during the Trump administration.
01:20:49.000 And in fact, we got along very well with the various countries.
01:20:56.000 Including coming up with the Abraham Accords.
01:20:59.000 That's a great thing.
01:20:59.000 The Abraham Accords.
01:21:01.000 I bet most of those people don't know what they are and they're still cheering.
01:21:03.000 But it's because of cutting taxes and cutting regulations at the highest level ever and on building the greatest economy.
01:21:11.000 Any time in the history of the world there's never been an economy like we had just two years ago.
01:21:16.000 Despite the outcome in the Senate, we cannot lose hope, and we must all work very hard for a gentleman and a great person named Herschel Walker, a fabulous human being who loves our country and will be a great United States Senator.
01:21:34.000 Herschel Walker, get out and vote for Herschel, and he deserves it.
01:21:40.000 Oh, I wonder if they're running on a delay.
01:21:41.000 Will Chamberlain says low energy, not 2016 Trump.
01:21:43.000 That's what I was just saying.
01:21:45.000 He sounds tired.
01:21:46.000 He's just old.
01:21:46.000 Reserved.
01:21:47.000 He's old.
01:21:47.000 We elected a group of incredibly talented America First voters,
01:21:51.000 the stars of our party were pleased to see.
01:21:54.000 In the popular vote, another thing that's not discussed for the House,
01:21:58.000 we must remember that Republicans won 5 million more votes, the largest margin in many, many years, over the Democrats.
01:22:10.000 5 million more votes, that's a big thing.
01:22:12.000 Great words, but one guy is not going to fix this.
01:22:16.000 Yeah, that's true.
01:22:18.000 It's a ground-up movement.
01:22:20.000 But that's ultimately the challenge.
01:22:24.000 I mean, that's what everyone ran into.
01:22:26.000 Republicans have officially secured controlled house.
01:22:29.000 Decision desk reporting.
01:22:32.000 Let me double check real quick.
01:22:35.000 One man's not going to solve all of your problems.
01:22:37.000 That's important to understand.
01:22:39.000 Well, in what office?
01:22:39.000 That's what I'm worried about, people putting all their faith into the political system and politicians.
01:22:42.000 Insider Reports.
01:22:43.000 Decision Desk has confirmed the Republicans have the House.
01:22:46.000 There we go!
01:22:48.000 Should we crack the Louie again?
01:22:49.000 No.
01:22:49.000 Maybe.
01:22:49.000 40 seats. Let's win. If you win by two seats, be happy. But she's on her way to another
01:22:56.000 She's fired.
01:23:01.000 But we always have known that this was not the end.
01:23:05.000 It was only the beginning of our fight to rescue the American dream.
01:23:11.000 And it's a word you don't use.
01:23:13.000 Two words.
01:23:13.000 I don't want to be Joe.
01:23:15.000 It's two words.
01:23:16.000 American dream.
01:23:18.000 I was not good what he did.
01:23:19.000 A lot of bad things, like going to Idaho and saying welcome to the state of Florida.
01:23:21.000 Obama with the Culver's executive orders.
01:23:23.000 I gotta throw it to Luke. Luke said that Trump was gonna draw it out and not announce immediately
01:23:28.000 and he was right. I was wrong.
01:23:29.000 In order to make America great and glorious again, I am today to announce and not hear
01:23:33.000 about this.
01:23:34.000 Not counting the spoilers that are going to build this up.
01:23:35.000 He's got to curtain us.
01:23:35.000 Technically they did say it though, but he didn't.
01:23:36.000 He's got to curtain us.
01:23:36.000 He did say it though, but he didn't.
01:23:38.000 I think he just did it.
01:23:40.000 Or he's just about to.
01:23:41.000 YMCA?
01:23:42.000 YMCA.
01:23:42.000 play tiny dancer. He was on time which is also impressive because he's usually
01:23:48.000 always late to his speeches.
01:23:51.000 I think he just did it. Or he's just about to.
01:23:54.000 You got tiny dancer. I'm gonna say Eye of the Tiger what they're gonna lead out with.
01:23:57.000 YMCA.
01:24:00.000 That'd be a good one.
01:24:03.000 So many incredible friends and family here tonight.
01:24:09.000 It's such a beautiful thing.
01:24:11.000 Some people say, how do you speak before so many people all the time?
01:24:15.000 When there's love in the room, it's really easy, if you want to know the truth.
01:24:21.000 You ought to try it sometime.
01:24:23.000 Together, we will be taking on the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests imaginable.
01:24:30.000 Our country is in a Horrible state.
01:24:33.000 We're in great trouble.
01:24:35.000 This is not a task for a politician or a conventional candidate.
01:24:39.000 This is a task for a great movement that embodies the courage, confidence, and the spirit of the American people.
01:24:46.000 This is a movement.
01:24:47.000 This is not for That's funny.
01:24:52.000 As I was saying, he was going to draw it out.
01:24:53.000 He was literally saying that.
01:24:54.000 The President is proud of people working together from all across the land and from all walks of life
01:24:58.000 — young and old, black and white, Hispanic and Asian — many of whom we have brought together for
01:25:04.000 the very, very first time.
01:25:06.000 If you look at the numbers, if you look at what's happened with Hispanic, with African
01:25:11.000 American, with Asian — and just look at what's happening.
01:25:15.000 This is a party that has become much bigger, much stronger, much more powerful.
01:25:22.000 can do much more good for our country.
01:25:24.000 This is a job for grandmothers and construction workers, firefighters, builders, teachers, doctors, and farmers who cannot stay quiet any longer.
01:25:35.000 You can't stay quiet any longer.
01:25:37.000 You're angry about what's happening to our country.
01:25:39.000 Our country is being destroyed before your very eyes.
01:25:42.000 It's a job for every aspiring young person and every hardworking parent.
01:25:48.000 For every entrepreneur and underappreciated police officer who is ready to shout for safety in America, the police are being treated so badly.
01:25:58.000 These are great people.
01:25:59.000 They can straighten out the crime.
01:26:01.000 They're the ones that know how to do it.
01:26:02.000 We have to give them back their respect.
01:26:04.000 about whether or not Texas would be leaving. I talk about it in the book and he said, no, no, Texas won't leave
01:26:10.000 because they love me.
01:26:11.000 This will not be my campaign.
01:26:13.000 People are pointing out, real, Fellani says, I mean, it's not like it doesn't say Trump 2024 on his lectern for the
01:26:20.000 entire speech.
01:26:21.000 Because the only force coming up...
01:26:27.000 Well, there you go.
01:26:28.000 He's definitely going to win the nomination.
01:26:29.000 we are up against is you, the American people.
01:26:33.000 It's true.
01:26:34.000 The American people, the greatest people on earth, we love them all.
01:26:37.000 There we go.
01:26:38.000 And we love both sides.
01:26:39.000 He's definitely going to win the nomination.
01:26:41.000 There's no one in the Republican Party that has a chance of stepping up to that guy.
01:26:46.000 We're all sitting here talking about Ron DeSantis, but I gotta admit, when you see Trump get
01:26:49.000 up there, Milo was right.
01:26:51.000 All of a sudden, it's like, I can't imagine DeSantis going up against Trump.
01:26:55.000 I feel like we gotta help him at this point.
01:26:56.000 I don't love politics, but we do need a better country and a better world.
01:27:00.000 You're saying help Trump?
01:27:02.000 Yeah, we just need to help ourselves by helping our presidents.
01:27:04.000 Ian goes full MAGA!
01:27:05.000 Trump's convinced him!
01:27:07.000 I'll help Biden too.
01:27:08.000 I'm not convinced.
01:27:09.000 I want to see them on a debate stage.
01:27:11.000 I want to see them duke it out.
01:27:12.000 I want to see the best idea win.
01:27:14.000 I want to see the best candidate win.
01:27:16.000 Like real help, like get here in person, point out his flaws to his face, humiliate him, let him humiliate me, like be a real person kind of help.
01:27:23.000 That's what we need to do.
01:27:27.000 Like not just blindly support.
01:27:28.000 Because the success was greater than this country has ever had.
01:27:32.000 We were leapfrogging China.
01:27:34.000 And leapfrogging everybody else, and everybody wanted a piece of it.
01:27:42.000 Milo was right.
01:27:44.000 But just as I promised in 2016, I am your voice.
01:27:50.000 I am your voice.
01:27:54.000 Oh, man, I am so excited for tomorrow.
01:27:55.000 The Washington establishment wants to silence us, but we will not let them do that.
01:28:02.000 What we have built together over the past six years is the greatest movement in history because it is not about politics.
01:28:09.000 It's about our love for this great country, America.
01:28:13.000 And we're not going to let it fail.
01:28:18.000 I am running because I believe the world has not yet seen the true glory of what this nation can be.
01:28:25.000 We have not reached that pinnacle, believe it or not.
01:28:28.000 In fact, We can go very far.
01:28:32.000 We're going to have to go far.
01:28:33.000 First, we have to get out of this ditch.
01:28:35.000 And once we're out, you'll see things that nobody imagined for any country.
01:28:41.000 It's called the United States of America, and it's an incredible place.
01:28:48.000 We are Americans, and we do not have to endure what has taken place in Washington, D.C.
01:28:55.000 This is our country, our government, and the corridors of power are our corridors.
01:29:01.000 They're not their corridors.
01:29:03.000 These are our corridors.
01:29:06.000 And we are coming to take those corridors back.
01:29:13.000 We have, uh, Brie Sullivan says, Ian LeMiz isn't about the French Revolution, it's about the June Rebellion of 1832.
01:29:19.000 He picked that song because of the populist message of freedom.
01:29:22.000 Thank you.
01:29:23.000 I can't believe it, man.
01:29:23.000 Look how fast it's all going.
01:29:26.000 I will fight like no one has ever fought before.
01:29:31.000 We will defeat the radical left Democrats that are trying to destroy our country from
01:29:36.000 within and, likewise, protect us all.
01:29:40.000 We want to protect us.
01:29:41.000 We have to be protected from all of those nations out there that are looking to destroy us from beyond our shores.
01:29:49.000 There are lots of nations that hate us gravely.
01:29:54.000 And that's the problem.
01:29:55.000 When they look at us and disarray like we are right now, when we go to them begging for oil and we have more liquid gold under our feet than they have or any other nation has, and we don't use it because we're going to them, it's crazy what's happening.
01:30:10.000 We can't let it continue.
01:30:12.000 Joe Biden is the face of left-wing failure and Washington corruption.
01:30:17.000 He had a big G20 dinner tonight.
01:30:20.000 Everybody flew over to wherever they flew over, and guess what?
01:30:23.000 He never showed up.
01:30:24.000 They're still looking for him.
01:30:25.000 What's going on?
01:30:26.000 He's off-book now.
01:30:27.000 He's off the cuff now.
01:30:28.000 Somebody turned the teleprompter.
01:30:29.000 Oh, he's ready to rock and roll.
01:30:29.000 He used to make deals for a country like you wouldn't believe.
01:30:32.000 It was one, give me the next one, give me the next one.
01:30:39.000 He's better off the cops than he is when he's scripted.
01:30:43.000 Last time he got elected, day one, we went on script, and he was on script the entire time.
01:30:47.000 It was really discerning.
01:30:48.000 I thought he was going to be off-book Trump, like, just going full Kennedy, but I got back.
01:30:55.000 And we did a deal.
01:30:56.000 We restructured our terrible deal with Japan, and I did it with Prime Minister Abe,
01:31:05.000 a great man who, unfortunately, is so sad.
01:31:08.000 He was a great friend of mine, but a great man, loved his country so much.
01:31:11.000 But we restructured and made it a really terrific deal.
01:31:14.000 Right now, there are several NGOs, Antifa-type groups, that are convening and probably began convening yesterday.
01:31:22.000 And they're getting funding, they're gearing up.
01:31:25.000 We're going to see extreme violence.
01:31:27.000 Like we saw, the day Donald Trump was inaugurated, they went around D.C.
01:31:31.000 burning things down, setting fire to vehicles, lighting garbage in the streets, smashing windows.
01:31:35.000 I hope y'all are ready for what this means.
01:31:38.000 You mean, just so we're clear, you're talking about those mostly peaceful protests, right?
01:31:42.000 Mostly peaceful, yeah.
01:31:43.000 Okay, just making sure we're thinking about the same thing.
01:31:44.000 Our country could not take that.
01:31:47.000 And I say that not in laughter, I say that in tears.
01:31:51.000 Our country could not take four more years.
01:31:53.000 It can only take so much.
01:31:55.000 It's all very fragile to start off with.
01:31:57.000 It can only take so much.
01:31:59.000 There you go.
01:31:59.000 See that line right there?
01:32:00.000 It's all very fragile to start with.
01:32:02.000 And it's not strong.
01:32:03.000 It hasn't been.
01:32:04.000 And it's unwinding.
01:32:05.000 By a lot.
01:32:07.000 And we will do it again, but with even more votes this time.
01:32:10.000 You lack a lot of what he has said.
01:32:11.000 He has effectively reinforced some of the sentiments that we were talking about earlier, which is this thing is really in a bad situation.
01:32:21.000 Again, I think probably leads to the skepticism that one guy Unbelievable.
01:32:27.000 Great people, very entrepreneurial people.
01:32:30.000 And they want security.
01:32:31.000 And everyone thought when I did the wall, I built the wall.
01:32:33.000 And they thought, oh, that would hurt me with the Hispanic vote.
01:32:37.000 No, it helped me because they understood.
01:32:39.000 They wanted safety.
01:32:41.000 They wanted security.
01:32:42.000 And they understood the border better than anybody else.
01:32:45.000 All right, so what do you guys say?
01:32:47.000 He's going off the script, he made the announcement, should we get into the superchats?
01:32:51.000 Yeah, I don't know when he's lying, that's the problem.
01:32:54.000 It all sounds great and it makes me feel good, a lot of stuff, but I don't know if he's lying, because like you just said, he said the border was the strongest it's ever been in his presidency.
01:33:01.000 You're from Texas, specifically said he was lying, it wasn't.
01:33:04.000 Yeah, okay, so did it improve some?
01:33:06.000 Sure.
01:33:07.000 But was it the strongest ever?
01:33:09.000 Probably not, no.
01:33:11.000 When you understand the escalation of the border crisis and how long it's gone on, it was not at levels that it is at right now.
01:33:17.000 So, granted, if you were to take a snapshot, say, of the last 10 years and say, you know, was it better?
01:33:23.000 Yeah, I mean, across some measures it was better.
01:33:26.000 You know, he was able to do some razzle-dazzle, invoke Title 42, to immediately deport, right, instead of catch and release, to immediately deport, which the federal court overturned today, by the way.
01:33:36.000 I want to say to everybody, many who tuned in specifically to watch the announcement, we're going to go to Super Chats, but I want to stress, when we started this show, I said, I didn't want to hear about the past in the sense of like, oh, it was stolen from me.
01:33:51.000 I wanted to hear about making America great.
01:33:53.000 Trump did exactly that.
01:33:55.000 He said, I'm going to make America great, but he didn't.
01:33:58.000 No, he talked about unemployment.
01:33:59.000 He talked about not starting any wars.
01:34:01.000 Those things I really liked.
01:34:01.000 He talked about how Biden failed with the Afghanistan surrender.
01:34:04.000 I like what he said.
01:34:06.000 Here's what I did that was good, here's what's happening that's bad, and he didn't come out and say, it was mine, it was mine, and it was taken from me.
01:34:12.000 That's what I don't want to hear.
01:34:14.000 And he didn't do that.
01:34:14.000 He came out very serious, and like Will Chamberlain mentioned, low energy.
01:34:22.000 But I think that's on purpose.
01:34:23.000 Other people are commenting that Trump, at his rallies, is the same as he's always been.
01:34:27.000 High energy, you know, feisty, and all that stuff.
01:34:30.000 And I've seen some of them, so I agree.
01:34:31.000 I am happy to see him coming up, making this announcement on the core things that America needs to do to be better.
01:34:39.000 Like I was saying, that's what I want to see, and we see it, so I'm happy.
01:34:42.000 He's still not done, though, so we're going to see what else he says.
01:34:44.000 I'm going to watch the speech just to get a full understanding of it, but it could go either way.
01:34:49.000 We'll come back to it.
01:34:50.000 We'll keep it rolling.
01:34:52.000 And just plain common sense.
01:34:55.000 It's common sense.
01:34:57.000 In two years, the Biden administration has destroyed the U.S.
01:35:08.000 economy.
01:35:08.000 economy.
01:35:10.000 With victory, we will again build the greatest economy ever.
01:35:15.000 It will take place quickly.
01:35:17.000 We will build the greatest economy ever.
01:35:19.000 But he did.
01:35:20.000 Zero detail.
01:35:21.000 But he did.
01:35:22.000 No.
01:35:22.000 He was at the helm when we were inflating it the fastest it's ever been inflated.
01:35:25.000 He spent a lot of money and borrowed a lot of money and indebted this country a lot.
01:35:30.000 Let's see it.
01:35:30.000 It was higher than just prior to COVID coming in.
01:35:34.000 And we did it twice, and we will do it again, but this time we'll do it bigger, stronger,
01:35:39.000 better than anybody can even imagine.
01:35:41.000 Let's see it.
01:35:44.000 All I need is a design plan.
01:35:47.000 And one of the beautiful things of the pause, if there is such a thing, is a beautiful thing.
01:35:56.000 But one of the important factors of the pause is that we see how bad they've done.
01:36:04.000 So we will be able to do it properly, and it will be much easier.
01:36:08.000 Everybody will agree with us, because everybody sees what a bad job has been done during this two-year period, and it will be a four-year period.
01:36:17.000 Everybody sees that.
01:36:18.000 It will be much easier for us to do what has to be done.
01:36:23.000 Behind the scenes, he better go after ballot harvesting.
01:36:25.000 Or at least build that apparatus.
01:36:26.000 If he wants to win, yes.
01:36:29.000 We will immediately tackle inflation and bring down to a level that it was.
01:36:35.000 You know, we were at zero, but actually the best number is 1%.
01:36:39.000 Do you know that?
01:36:41.000 You don't want it really zero.
01:36:43.000 But we were at zero.
01:36:45.000 We actually got it to exactly 1%, the perfect number.
01:36:48.000 One thing every economist agrees, don't have it zero, have it like at 1%.
01:36:52.000 They even say one to two, but I said, let's do one.
01:36:56.000 Wow.
01:36:56.000 And we had it at 1%.
01:36:57.000 And we had it there for a long period of time.
01:37:00.000 And we had the value of the dollar.
01:37:02.000 This is going to be so much fun.
01:37:03.000 So that this country could make a lot of money.
01:37:05.000 And I fought other countries where they devalued their dollar,
01:37:08.000 they devalued their currency, whether it was the pound or whether it was the won or the yen.
01:37:15.000 And I used to fight like cats and dogs with the leaders of other countries
01:37:20.000 because they were stealing from us.
01:37:21.000 When they did that, they had artificial devaluations of their currency.
01:37:26.000 It's a very important thing.
01:37:28.000 I haven't even heard it mentioned in two years.
01:37:30.000 It's a very important thing.
01:37:31.000 It's very hard for us to compete when they do that artificially.
01:37:36.000 And they had to pay a big price when they did it, and they never really did it for very long.
01:37:40.000 I said, we're not going to do business with you anymore as a country.
01:37:43.000 And they believed me.
01:37:45.000 I want to read, I'm going to read a Super Chat.
01:37:46.000 Joseph said, Super Chats can pound sand.
01:37:48.000 As the Biden administration has done very, very openly and bravely, because I can't imagine saying, let's put America last.
01:37:57.000 I think it takes courage.
01:37:59.000 We will again put America first.
01:38:03.000 We're here.
01:38:08.000 Every policy.
01:38:10.000 Thank you very much.
01:38:17.000 We do love our country, isn't it?
01:38:19.000 That's why we're here.
01:38:21.000 I didn't need this.
01:38:24.000 I had a very nice, easy life.
01:38:26.000 This is something I didn't need, and a lot of you people don't need either.
01:38:31.000 But we love our country.
01:38:32.000 We have to take care of our country.
01:38:33.000 We have to save our country.
01:38:37.000 Every policy.
01:38:39.000 Must be geared toward that which supports the American worker, the American family, and businesses, both large and small, and allows our country to compete with other nations on a very level playing field, which we never had until I came along and the Trump administration came along.
01:38:58.000 And now we're losing it.
01:38:59.000 They're moving back into China.
01:39:00.000 They're moving back into these other countries.
01:39:02.000 It's horrible.
01:39:04.000 That means low taxes, low regulations, and fair trade, much of which I've already completed, but now will even greatly enhance.
01:39:14.000 Other countries should pay for the privilege of coming into the American marketplace.
01:39:19.000 They have to pay to come into our country and make all of that money, take it away from us.
01:39:24.000 And thanks to the Trump administration, still the best and the biggest Country in the world is what we have.
01:39:33.000 We have the best and the biggest.
01:39:34.000 If you remember, for many years, you can look in your projection books, China was going to take over from us as the largest economy in the world in 2018 or 2019.
01:39:44.000 I said, I don't like that timing.
01:39:47.000 And I was with President Xi, who's now president for life.
01:39:52.000 I call him king.
01:39:53.000 He said, no, no, I'm not the king.
01:39:55.000 I said, yes, you are the king.
01:39:56.000 You're president for life.
01:39:57.000 It's the same thing.
01:39:59.000 But I said, President, President, you can't do these things.
01:40:02.000 You can't.
01:40:03.000 Remember, they had China 25.
01:40:04.000 That means China was going to take over virtually the whole world economy by 25.
01:40:10.000 I said, that's not a nice sign.
01:40:12.000 I don't want that sign.
01:40:13.000 They took it down.
01:40:13.000 They took down the whole slogan.
01:40:15.000 Probably will be coming back at some point in the near future.
01:40:19.000 But I found it very insulting.
01:40:20.000 I said I find that very insulting.
01:40:22.000 On day one, we will end Joe Biden's war on American energy.
01:40:26.000 Oh, yeah.
01:40:27.000 And you will see, when that happens, you will see energy costs come down.
01:40:37.000 And because energy is so big and so important, you will see inflation dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping.
01:40:43.000 You will see it come down.
01:40:44.000 It's a thing of beauty.
01:40:46.000 And you wouldn't think it's that complicated.
01:40:48.000 Now, what has been complicated a little bit is what's happened to so many other things, I believe, originally started by this energy disaster.
01:40:57.000 We were $1.87.
01:40:59.000 A gallon for gasoline, and now it's hitting $5, $6, $7, and even $8, and it's going to go really bad.
01:41:06.000 The socialist disaster known as the Green New Deal... But that's partly because demand was near zero during COVID.
01:41:13.000 But the average, I think, during his presidency was like $2.30, so it is still really, really good.
01:41:16.000 ...so that our country can again breathe and grow and thrive like it should.
01:41:22.000 Yeah, gas went negative during COVID, if you remember that.
01:41:25.000 Right, they were paying to give it away.
01:41:26.000 That's crazy.
01:41:27.000 Per barrel.
01:41:28.000 It's very, very much hurting our country.
01:41:30.000 Germany tried it, you know.
01:41:32.000 Germany tried it.
01:41:33.000 They were up for about a year.
01:41:35.000 Remember I sent to Angela.
01:41:39.000 Remember Angela?
01:41:40.000 Do you remember Angela?
01:41:41.000 Nobody's remembering her now.
01:41:43.000 Angela Merkel.
01:41:44.000 I sent her a white flag of surrender.
01:41:47.000 She said, but why, but why do you send this to me, Donald?
01:41:50.000 I said, Angela, I sent it to you because this is a act of surrender.
01:41:55.000 You are getting 78% of your energy from Russia.
01:41:58.000 And when that happens, history has proven that it's not good for Germany.
01:42:03.000 Just take a look over the last 150 years.
01:42:06.000 It hasn't been good.
01:42:07.000 What I didn't know would take place so fast.
01:42:10.000 And Germany closed, as you know, all of its coal power plants and its nuclear plants.
01:42:15.000 It closed everything.
01:42:16.000 And now they're building coal plants, and they're building them fast.
01:42:20.000 And China's building a coal plant every week.
01:42:23.000 Every week they open up another, and then they talk about all of the Things that they do environmentally.
01:42:29.000 They are watching us die with the Green New Deal, with our windmills and with our solar that doesn't have the power to fire up our great factories and our great plants.
01:42:38.000 They are watching us die and they're laughing as it happens.
01:42:43.000 CNN cut off Trump's audio and is just doing commentary now?
01:42:46.000 National security.
01:42:48.000 And that's what it is.
01:42:49.000 We need economic security.
01:42:52.000 The energy crisis is deliberate, and he is right here.
01:42:54.000 That is why we will launch an all-out campaign to eliminate America's dependence on China.
01:43:00.000 We will bring our supply chains, which are a disaster right now.
01:43:03.000 You can't get anything, and good luck getting a turkey for Thanksgiving.
01:43:07.000 Look at this, look at this.
01:43:09.000 Let me show you guys this.
01:43:11.000 I want to show you some of the media reactions.
01:43:12.000 This is getting good, getting good.
01:43:15.000 Look at this one.
01:43:17.000 As we were strongly doing during the Trump administration, and we will systematically bring back wealth, health, and success to the American middle class and to America.
01:43:27.000 It says, uh, Donald Trump, comma, who tried to overthrow the result of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly right at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, comma, has filed to run for president again!
01:43:40.000 We're also hearing Fox cut out his audio and he's also doing commentary over it.
01:43:46.000 I thought Fox was just playing the speech.
01:43:49.000 I feel very guilty.
01:43:50.000 I don't want that to happen.
01:43:52.000 Every worker and family struggling to survive in the Biden economy with inflation destroying your family and your life.
01:43:59.000 This campaign will be for you.
01:44:03.000 Help is on the way.
01:44:04.000 Joe Biden has abolished America's borders.
01:44:07.000 We are going to restore and secure America's borders, just like we had them before.
01:44:12.000 Best ever.
01:44:13.000 We built the wall, and now we will add to it.
01:44:16.000 Now, we built the wall.
01:44:17.000 We completed the wall.
01:44:18.000 And then we said, let's do more.
01:44:20.000 And we did a lot more.
01:44:22.000 And as we were doing it, We had an election that came up, and when they came in, they had three more weeks to complete the additions to the wall, which would have been great, and they said, no, no, we're not going to do that.
01:44:34.000 And that's when I realized that they actually want to have this disaster known as open borders.
01:44:41.000 Hard to believe, isn't it?
01:44:43.000 One of the reasons we had so much success at the border was because of the fact that we got Mexico to give us, free of charge, 28,000 soldiers.
01:44:53.000 And the president of Mexico is a great gentleman, by the way.
01:44:57.000 Socialist, but that's okay.
01:44:59.000 He can't have everything.
01:45:00.000 But he's a great man and a great friend of mine.
01:45:03.000 But 28,000 soldiers while we were building the wall.
01:45:05.000 And then when the wall was finished, that's how we set all these records.
01:45:09.000 The corporate media is like, this is horrible!
01:45:11.000 This is the end of democracy!
01:45:12.000 Yes, he's back!
01:45:13.000 Yes, I have a job!
01:45:14.000 Yes, I finally have something to do!
01:45:15.000 Ten million people coming in, not three or four million people.
01:45:18.000 They're pouring into our country.
01:45:19.000 We have no idea who they are and where they come from.
01:45:22.000 We have no idea what's happening to our country.
01:45:25.000 We're being poisoned.
01:45:27.000 Within moments of my inauguration, catch and release will be gone forever.
01:45:32.000 Remain in Mexico.
01:45:35.000 MSNBC cut it out.
01:45:36.000 They're not even showing any of it.
01:45:38.000 Remain in Mexico, which was so important.
01:45:41.000 Everybody came in here.
01:45:42.000 They remained here.
01:45:43.000 You know, honestly, if you think about it, MSNBC would probably show it on one screen and then show just a rolling footage of the January 6th thing at the Capitol on the other side of the screen.
01:45:54.000 That would be their typical demo.
01:45:55.000 So, you know, maybe the fact they're not showing it at all is a bit of an improvement.
01:45:58.000 They come in here, they stay, and we have no idea where they are.
01:46:00.000 They get lost.
01:46:01.000 And it's very dangerous for our country.
01:46:03.000 And again, I'll say, we're going to pay a big price someday for what they did.
01:46:06.000 He's not wrong.
01:46:07.000 Quick announcement, though.
01:46:08.000 Biden said that it's unlikely that missile that hit Poland was Russian.
01:46:11.000 Yeah, the Polish president is also saying similar things.
01:46:15.000 We have no choice.
01:46:17.000 We have no choice.
01:46:19.000 And in restoring border security, we will stop the flow of deadly drugs and horrible human trafficking.
01:46:24.000 You know why they do that, though?
01:46:26.000 They're looking at their real-time numbers.
01:46:29.000 And they're like, okay, okay, people are leaving, let's start talking or something.
01:46:32.000 Maybe.
01:46:32.000 Like clockwork.
01:46:32.000 Maybe.
01:46:33.000 It's not ancient.
01:46:36.000 Because of the internet, human trafficking is worse than it's ever been in history.
01:46:40.000 And we stopped them at the southern border, which is the number one port all over the
01:46:44.000 world.
01:46:45.000 Like clockwork, all of these woke media outlets are just unloading on Trump.
01:46:52.000 Vice News.
01:46:53.000 Trump spent years undercutting our institutions, staging an attempted coup to remain in office?
01:46:57.000 Oh no.
01:46:57.000 left had let loose again this total breakdown of law and order.
01:47:02.000 They would lose their minds.
01:47:03.000 Total breakdown of the coup, the insurrection.
01:47:06.000 January. Oh, no.
01:47:08.000 One journal said, why?
01:47:10.000 Why not have run limits?
01:47:11.000 And if they don't want our help with this?
01:47:15.000 And there's no Stacey Abrams needs a chance.
01:47:17.000 They're all Democrats.
01:47:19.000 This is amazing.
01:47:20.000 The governors and mayors are supposed to ask for the help, and they would never ask for the help.
01:47:24.000 And yet people are being shot and killed at random like nobody's ever seen before.
01:47:29.000 And we sent in the National Guard in Minneapolis and in other places.
01:47:34.000 In Seattle, we went and we.
01:47:36.000 We were getting ready to go, and they took over part of the city.
01:47:40.000 And the governors, the Democrats, don't want to ever ask to do anything because they don't want to shake things up.
01:47:46.000 In the meantime, the cities are rotting.
01:47:49.000 And they are, indeed, cesspools of blood.
01:47:51.000 So we're going to go and help them even if they don't want to help.
01:47:55.000 We will give our police back their authority, resources, power, legal protection, and we will give them back their respect.
01:48:02.000 They're great people.
01:48:05.000 And I will immediately launch a no-holds-barred national campaign to dismantle the gangs and clean out the nests of organized street crime.
01:48:14.000 There we go.
01:48:17.000 He's gonna have to deal with the CIA if he wants to deal with the fentanyl and drugs.
01:48:21.000 The worst criminals, the worst gangs are MS-13.
01:48:25.000 Under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, they were unable to take them out because their countries where they came from wouldn't take them.
01:48:34.000 And I learned about that in my first day, I actually say.
01:48:38.000 But I learned about it, and I said, which countries?
01:48:41.000 And it was Honduras and Guatemala.
01:48:44.000 It was El Salvador, some others.
01:48:46.000 And I said, how much do we pay them?
01:48:48.000 Sir, you pay them $750 million a year.
01:48:50.000 That's a lot of money.
01:48:54.000 I said, all right, stop payment.
01:48:55.000 We're not paying them anymore because they wouldn't accept them.
01:48:57.000 They would put planes on the runway.
01:49:00.000 Look at this, man.
01:49:00.000 Look at this one.
01:49:02.000 We got that.
01:49:03.000 Journalist Emily Bell, a well-crafted tweet, The Washington Post wrote, The twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, 76, who refused to concede the 2020 election and is the subject of multiple criminal investigations, is running again in 2024, increasing the likelihood of a potential rematch with Biden.
01:49:20.000 Amazing.
01:49:22.000 And I got to know all of the presidents and prime ministers.
01:49:25.000 I got to know them all.
01:49:27.000 And I said, all right, stop payment of the $750 million a year.
01:49:31.000 They won't take them.
01:49:32.000 And you could not get anybody back in because they sent them out.
01:49:35.000 They didn't just come out.
01:49:36.000 They sent them out.
01:49:36.000 They don't want the bad ones.
01:49:37.000 They want to keep their good ones.
01:49:38.000 They don't want the bad ones.
01:49:39.000 These are gang members that we'll kill, and they like using knives because a knife is more painful than a gun.
01:49:46.000 You've read the stories.
01:49:47.000 MSP.
01:49:47.000 So how do you think they're going to twist what he's saying?
01:49:49.000 They're going to say he's racist.
01:49:51.000 He accused people of being animals again.
01:49:53.000 And so we went along, and I said, stop payment of the $750 million.
01:49:58.000 And I get a call the next morning from the presidents of every country that we're talking about.
01:50:04.000 Sir, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
01:50:08.000 You're not taking your MS-13 gang members back that you sent to us in the caravans.
01:50:13.000 I love the name.
01:50:14.000 I love the name.
01:50:16.000 The caravans, thousands and thousands of people, and in those caravans you have some rough people.
01:50:21.000 They said, you're not taking them back?
01:50:23.000 Well, we didn't know that this was a problem, sir.
01:50:25.000 Was there anything we could do to take them back?
01:50:27.000 We're glad to take them back, sir.
01:50:32.000 I retweeted that one.
01:50:33.000 Pretty smart.
01:50:34.000 That's a good one.
01:50:35.000 By the way, now Biden wants to give them $4 billion.
01:50:36.000 They were happy with $750, and now they want to give them $4 billion.
01:50:40.000 Somebody, someday, is going to explain that one to me.
01:50:42.000 $4 billion. They were happy with $750,000 and now they want to give them $4 billion.
01:50:47.000 Somebody, someday, is going to explain that one to me. It actually makes you rage with
01:50:56.000 anger when you hear that.
01:50:57.000 They wanted $750,000 so badly and now they're getting $4 billion.
01:51:02.000 We will wage war upon the cartels and stop the fentanyl and deadly drugs from killing 200,000 Americans per year.
01:51:10.000 And I will ask Congress for legislation ensuring that drug dealers and human traffickers,
01:51:19.000 these are terrible, terrible, horrible people, who are responsible for death, carnage, and crime all over
01:51:29.000 our country.
01:51:30.000 Every drug dealer, during his or her life on average, will kill 500 people with the drugs they sell, not to mention the destruction of families.
01:51:44.000 But we're going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught selling drugs, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts.
01:51:52.000 That is insanity.
01:51:54.000 Because not every drug is the same.
01:51:55.000 Just like in the Philippines.
01:51:57.000 This is a bad policy.
01:51:58.000 We don't need any more blue ribbon.
01:52:02.000 Committees.
01:52:02.000 We don't need... I don't like to say this, and I don't even know if the American public... I wonder where he gets numbers on that, like why he thinks it's a good idea.
01:52:09.000 Please don't say that, sir.
01:52:10.000 That's not nice.
01:52:11.000 They kill 500 people each, on average.
01:52:15.000 And if you don't do this... In China, when I was with President Xi, I said, President, do you have a drug problem?
01:52:23.000 No, no, no, no, we don't.
01:52:24.000 He looked at me like I didn't know what I was doing.
01:52:27.000 He said, uh, no, we don't have a drug.
01:52:29.000 How come you don't have a drug problem?
01:52:31.000 He said, quick trial.
01:52:33.000 What is a quick trial?
01:52:34.000 Quick, I sort of knew.
01:52:35.000 What is a quick trial?
01:52:37.000 That's where, if you get caught dealing drugs, you have an immediate and quick trial, and by the end of the day, you're executed.
01:52:45.000 Nope.
01:52:46.000 We don't want to be like China.
01:52:47.000 Can we please not be like the deleterious China?
01:52:50.000 So, literally in his announcement, he's like, I'm going to create a policy off the Communist Chinese.
01:52:54.000 And I had him stopping it.
01:52:57.000 It's authoritarian.
01:52:58.000 They used to be called out and criticized.
01:53:01.000 Why would he believe them?
01:53:03.000 Of course they have a drug problem.
01:53:07.000 You gotta end the war on drugs.
01:53:10.000 You ask Xi Jinping and he'll tell you for all the China.
01:53:14.000 Stop the CIA from shipping in the drugs and stop the war on drugs and then we would have less harm.
01:53:19.000 We wouldn't have all these problems.
01:53:21.000 But no, we got to be like totalitarian China?
01:53:23.000 That's crazy.
01:53:24.000 And nobody even cares.
01:53:26.000 They can do whatever they want to do and become rich.
01:53:28.000 It's a disgrace.
01:53:29.000 So if you want to get rid of that and also bring down your level of crime, probably 75 or 80 percent, that's the only answer.
01:53:37.000 No more blue ribbon.
01:53:38.000 I refuse to create them anymore.
01:53:40.000 It was just a joke.
01:53:41.000 It was New York people wanting to be on a committee for publicity reasons.
01:53:45.000 No, no more blue ribbon committees.
01:53:47.000 That's the only way you're going to solve the problem.
01:53:50.000 I hope politicians are listening because they should do it quickly.
01:53:55.000 Joe Biden has also proven that he is committed to indoctrinating our children, even using the Department of Justice against parents who object.
01:54:04.000 It's a terrible thing that's happened.
01:54:05.000 It's so sad what's happening.
01:54:09.000 When I'm in the White House, our schools will cease pushing critical race theory, as they were.
01:54:16.000 This is why Elon wanted to buy Twitter.
01:54:19.000 Because he knew Trump made it worth a lot of money.
01:54:21.000 This is true.
01:54:22.000 Twitter almost went under before Trump started running for president.
01:54:25.000 It's interesting he mentions critical race theory.
01:54:29.000 And I will be the president who finally fixes education in America.
01:54:34.000 Most of the legislation at the state level doesn't address it.
01:54:36.000 And of course the federal government, outside of the Department of Education and the federal money that they hand out, has almost no say in the curriculum when it comes to CRTs.
01:54:47.000 That's not a particularly grand promise, other than, you know, what he could say is, let's get the federal government out of education, and that would fix things, right?
01:54:56.000 That would be something.
01:54:57.000 And the Department of Education.
01:54:59.000 That's politically incorrect to say.
01:55:00.000 I said, that's okay, I'll say it anyway, if you don't mind.
01:55:04.000 We've had tremendous...
01:55:07.000 Tremendous problems.
01:55:08.000 And, you know, it's very unfair to women.
01:55:10.000 Just very, very unfair.
01:55:12.000 We will defend the rights of parents, and we will defend the family as the center of American life.
01:55:18.000 There we go.
01:55:19.000 That's what I said, right?
01:55:21.000 I want him to hate the guy sitting with the newspaper and the mom's got iced tea.
01:55:24.000 Come on.
01:55:25.000 Make America great again.
01:55:26.000 See, he should have gotten to that much earlier in the speech, probably before he started saying, like, I'm using the Communist Chinese as a model.
01:55:33.000 I guess that's what I am.
01:55:35.000 I hate that thought.
01:55:37.000 But that a politician would be up saying, we will defend parental rights.
01:55:42.000 Of course you can defend it.
01:55:43.000 Who would think that we even have to mention this?
01:55:45.000 Who would think it even should be a subject to be talked about?
01:55:48.000 We have to defend parental rights.
01:55:50.000 Can you believe this?
01:55:53.000 As commander in chief, I will get Biden's radical- Jeb Bush tweeted, what a low energy speech by Donald.
01:56:01.000 That's like Richard Simmons calling you a crappy dresser.
01:56:03.000 I don't know.
01:56:04.000 China has zero COVID, so you should probably follow their model, Donald.
01:56:07.000 abolish every Biden COVID mandate and rehire every patriot who was fired from our military
01:56:14.000 with an apology and full backpack.
01:56:16.000 I don't know.
01:56:17.000 This China has zero COVID.
01:56:19.000 So you should probably follow their model, Donald.
01:56:21.000 I want y'all to understand.
01:56:24.000 Twitter is back and Donald Trump is running.
01:56:27.000 It's gonna be a meme magic, meme war, like we saw back in 2015, 2016.
01:56:32.000 You're gonna be laughing non-stop all day every day.
01:56:35.000 I'm ready for this.
01:56:36.000 And unlike Biden possibly getting us into World War III, which can seriously happen, I will keep America out of foolish and unnecessary foreign wars, just as I did for four straight years.
01:56:48.000 Absolutely.
01:56:49.000 Non-interventionist foreign policy.
01:56:52.000 We will again have peace through strength.
01:56:55.000 That's all it is.
01:56:58.000 As events overseas have shown To protect our people from the unthinkable threat of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles, the United States must also build a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield.
01:57:14.000 We need it.
01:57:15.000 The power of these missiles and the power of a word that I refuse to say, nuclear.
01:57:25.000 We have to have it.
01:57:26.000 We need a defense shield.
01:57:29.000 And we have to do it.
01:57:29.000 And we actually have the technology, and we're going to build it.
01:57:33.000 Just as I rebuilt our military, I will get this done.
01:57:36.000 I rebuilt our entire military, which nobody talks about.
01:57:40.000 More money for the military industrial complex.
01:57:42.000 Great.
01:57:42.000 When I got there we had jet fighters that were 48 years old.
01:57:45.000 I hope Jeb runs.
01:57:47.000 I hope he does too.
01:57:49.000 I want Jeb to run.
01:57:51.000 Please clap.
01:57:53.000 Oh yeah.
01:57:54.000 He should get a shirt made with that on it and make fun of himself.
01:57:56.000 The people in Walmart or whatever.
01:58:01.000 Yeah.
01:58:02.000 That's a shtick.
01:58:03.000 No, Trump wasn't wrong about Jeb Bush.
01:58:06.000 I mean, that guy, that guy is, uh, he elicits the sort of excitement.
01:58:11.000 Conduct a top-to-bottom overhaul to clean out the festering rot and corruption of Washington, D.C.
01:58:17.000 Remember when Biden said he was going to stop Trump?
01:58:23.000 He would use constitutional legal authority to prevent him from taking power.
01:58:28.000 Yeah.
01:58:29.000 Yo, it's gonna get lit!
01:58:31.000 Well, let's see how that goes out.
01:58:33.000 I'd like to see how that plays out.
01:58:35.000 Because honestly, all they do when they attempt to screw with him that way is they just validate his position.
01:58:43.000 People are pointing out, he said, the quick trial execution is a terrible thing, what China was doing.
01:58:48.000 And I'm a victim, I will tell you.
01:58:49.000 That's not what I heard, but I wasn't listening.
01:58:52.000 That's not what I heard either.
01:58:53.000 See, that's exactly it.
01:58:54.000 People are like, you were talking over him.
01:58:56.000 Christopher Steele, who wrote the fake dossier, if he will lie and say that the fake dossier Was true.
01:59:06.000 And he refused to do it, so it had to be really fake.
01:59:11.000 And then they hired somebody, Demchenko, for $200,000 a year to focus on Trump and to get Trump and other things, including the raid of a very beautiful house that sits right here.
01:59:25.000 The raid of Mar-a-Lago.
01:59:26.000 Think of it.
01:59:28.000 And I said, why didn't you raid Bush's place?
01:59:31.000 Why didn't you raid Clinton?
01:59:34.000 32,000 emails.
01:59:34.000 Why didn't you raid Clinton's place?
01:59:36.000 Why didn't you do Obama, who took a lot of things with him?
01:59:41.000 We will dismantle the deep state and restore government by the people.
01:59:45.000 Full back pay to people kicked out of the military over the Vax mandates.
01:59:50.000 To further drain the swamp, I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose
01:59:57.000 term limits on members of Congress.
01:59:59.000 It's time.
02:00:00.000 Yeah, he's definitely been listening to us, our people that come on the show.
02:00:05.000 Term limits for bureaucrats!
02:00:08.000 And I will ask for a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns.
02:00:13.000 A lifetime ban on lobbying by former members of Congress.
02:00:17.000 Oh yeah!
02:00:18.000 There we go.
02:00:19.000 Now I see what they make.
02:00:26.000 They leave the White House or they leave Congress and they're paid millions and millions and millions of dollars a year.
02:00:34.000 No, you have to have a ban.
02:00:36.000 We want a ban on members of Congress getting rich by trading stocks with insider information.
02:00:42.000 Yes.
02:00:44.000 Pelosi, you're fired.
02:00:45.000 Many of our great members agree with that.
02:00:47.000 They actually agree with that.
02:00:49.000 And of course, We will do whatever it takes to bring back honesty, confidence, and trust in our elections.
02:01:00.000 To eliminate cheating, I will immediately demand voter ID, same-day voting, only paper ballots.
02:01:11.000 There it is.
02:01:11.000 What would that do?
02:01:16.000 Only paper ballots.
02:01:21.000 Stone tablets.
02:01:25.000 There you go.
02:01:27.000 You can just say I saw a D when you saw an R. You can lie.
02:01:31.000 when he's sawing R, he can lie.
02:01:33.000 And there's four people watching when it happens.
02:01:34.000 And all four of them can lie.
02:01:35.000 That's right, all four of them can lie, even though they're competing against each other.
02:01:38.000 It was all done by 10 o'clock in the evening, no complaints.
02:01:41.000 They're not really competing.
02:01:42.000 Yeah, they absolutely are.
02:01:43.000 The Republicans and the Democrats are called a uniparty for a reason.
02:01:45.000 Trump candidates are not the same as neocon establishment Republicans.
02:01:50.000 I'll say it.
02:01:51.000 They're supposed to be competing.
02:01:56.000 Paper ballots is it.
02:01:57.000 That is the only secure way right now.
02:01:59.000 Period.
02:02:00.000 Who's they, though?
02:02:01.000 social i feel like that's a physical record exist in a box and i say destroy
02:02:04.000 it it's there to check always right now it's like what do you do do you audit
02:02:08.000 the coalition and then who lets you do it it's proprietary a box full of
02:02:12.000 documents is publicly owned and you and and they can go in and say i want to i
02:02:16.000 want to open the box who's there though you can't if you can file a lawsuit yeah
02:02:20.000 i mean you shouldn't have to do that You just click a button.
02:02:22.000 Look, that 2019 white paper was like, it should be the gospel.
02:02:27.000 Everybody in this election business should be forced to read it because literally they
02:02:30.000 came out and they said, all of these electronic machines can be hacked.
02:02:34.000 Every single solitary one of them.
02:02:36.000 Not hard to hack them, but quite easy.
02:02:39.000 And they said, here are the two things.
02:02:40.000 Paper ballots, risk-limiting laws, aka making sure they're going through the...
02:02:45.000 He's talking about fixing the election process.
02:02:48.000 But this is just the beginning of our national greatness agenda, and that's what we call
02:02:53.000 it, a national greatness agenda.
02:02:55.000 Because our country can be greater than it ever was.
02:02:58.000 Our country was great.
02:03:01.000 Our country's not great anymore.
02:03:03.000 Our country's a laughing stock right now.
02:03:05.000 But our country can be greater than it ever was before, by a lot.
02:03:11.000 There will be more, much more, to come.
02:03:15.000 In the months ahead, there are so many things we can do.
02:03:18.000 Many of them are not even hard to implement.
02:03:22.000 The journey ahead of us will not be easy.
02:03:25.000 Anyone who truly seeks to take on this rigged and corrupt system will be faced with a storm of fire that only a few could understand.
02:03:37.000 Right?
02:03:39.000 I happen to have some children in the first row.
02:03:42.000 They understand.
02:03:42.000 In fact, My one boy.
02:03:46.000 Stand up, Eric.
02:03:48.000 E-bones Does anyone know if Ivanka and Jared are there?
02:03:58.000 I think he got more subpoenas than any man in the history of our country.
02:04:01.000 Remember?
02:04:01.000 Maybe.
02:04:01.000 It was in the middle.
02:04:02.000 So unfair.
02:04:03.000 That was unfortunate.
02:04:04.000 Al Capone.
02:04:05.000 You only heard of the great gangster.
02:04:07.000 Al Capone got far less.
02:04:10.000 Billy the Kid got almost none.
02:04:13.000 He was killed wasn't he?
02:04:17.000 He's a PhD in subpoenas.
02:04:19.000 They come from Congress.
02:04:23.000 And I appreciate the job you do and the abuse that you've taken.
02:04:26.000 And I really do.
02:04:28.000 And it hasn't been a joyride for our great first lady either.
02:04:55.000 Yeah.
02:04:56.000 It hasn't been a joyride.
02:04:58.000 Stand up.
02:05:00.000 We need to see more accordion hands.
02:05:13.000 I I go home and she says they do love her.
02:05:18.000 I go home and he says, you look angry and upset.
02:05:21.000 I said, just leave me alone.
02:05:22.000 I got it.
02:05:24.000 Hasn't been the easiest thing, but she's been a great First Lady and people love her.
02:05:29.000 We will be resisted by the combined forces of the establishment, the media, the special interests,
02:05:43.000 the globalists, the Marxist radicals, the woke corporations, the weaponized power of the
02:05:49.000 federal government, the colossal political machines, the tidal wave of dark money, and the most
02:05:56.000 dangerous domestic censorship system ever created by man or woman.
02:06:02.000 The most dangerous system we've ever had.
02:06:05.000 We will be attacked.
02:06:07.000 We will be slandered.
02:06:09.000 We will be persecuted, just as I have been.
02:06:12.000 I mean, I have been, but many people in this room have been.
02:06:16.000 But we will not be intimidated.
02:06:18.000 We will persevere.
02:06:20.000 We will stand tall in the storm.
02:06:22.000 We will march forward into the torrent.
02:06:26.000 And we, in the end, will win.
02:06:28.000 Our country will win.
02:06:29.000 We will win.
02:06:34.000 My fellow Americans, we will join together and reverse this staggering American decline, and it is staggering indeed, and we will again restore the spirit of our nation.
02:06:45.000 And then we must build and raise up a legacy that will stand without equal in the entire history of the world.
02:06:53.000 With your help, we will create communities where our children will grow up safe and strong, and a nation where they will grow up free, prosperous, and well.
02:07:05.000 We will reestablish the principles of hard work and merit and end the scourge of homelessness that is plaguing our beleaguered Democrat-run cities.
02:07:15.000 We will heal our divisions and bring our people back together through incredible success.
02:07:23.000 We will defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
02:07:27.000 We will expand the frontiers of human knowledge and extend the horizons of human achievement.
02:07:33.000 It's a funny meme.
02:07:34.000 It's a flowchart.
02:07:36.000 Should you run for the Republican nomination?
02:07:39.000 Is your name Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump?
02:07:41.000 Yes or no?
02:07:41.000 And if yes, go for it.
02:07:43.000 No, don't embarrass yourself.
02:07:44.000 He looks like he's finishing up here.
02:07:45.000 We need everyone involved.
02:07:47.000 We need everyone's help.
02:07:49.000 We need to look out for one another.
02:07:52.000 We need to be friends, and we need every patriot on board.
02:07:56.000 Because this is not just a campaign.
02:08:05.000 This is a quest to save our country.
02:08:09.000 Talking about saving our country.
02:08:11.000 That's right.
02:08:13.000 Thank you.
02:08:20.000 Thank you.
02:08:21.000 Thank you very much.
02:08:25.000 Thank you very much.
02:08:27.000 I am asking for your vote.
02:08:28.000 I am asking for your support.
02:08:30.000 And I am asking for your friendship and your prayers on this very incredible but dangerous journey.
02:08:39.000 If our movement remains united and confident, then we will shatter the forces of tyranny and we will unleash the glories of liberty for ourselves and for our children and for generations yet to come.
02:08:53.000 America's golden age is just ahead, and together we will make America powerful again.
02:09:02.000 Mapa.
02:09:05.000 We will make America wealthy again.
02:09:09.000 Mawa.
02:09:11.000 We will make America strong again.
02:09:15.000 Not saying that one.
02:09:17.000 We will make America proud again.
02:09:23.000 We will make America safe again.
02:09:29.000 We will make America glorious again.
02:09:32.000 It's like watching a porn.
02:09:34.000 It's building.
02:09:34.000 Come on, say it, yeah!
02:09:36.000 We will make America great again.
02:09:40.000 Thank you very much.
02:09:42.000 God bless you all.
02:09:43.000 Thank you.
02:09:48.000 Alright, that's it!
02:09:49.000 Good song.
02:09:50.000 Orange man back!
02:09:51.000 I gotta say, I am very critical of Trump.
02:09:53.000 He did give the plan that I was asking for earlier.
02:09:56.000 He started outlining things, and he talks about a lot of really important things.
02:10:01.000 About addressing the voting issues, I thought was very good.
02:10:04.000 And talking about the world at a grand scale, about the military-industrial complex and the... I mean, he didn't talk about Megacorps and BlackRock by name, but this is the stuff he's talking about.
02:10:14.000 I've never seen... I haven't seen another political candidate do that.
02:10:16.000 Maybe Tulsi Gabbard.
02:10:17.000 I'm excited!
02:10:18.000 Because the media is losing their minds.
02:10:20.000 And like, I just I'm kind of resigned to the nonsense.
02:10:25.000 It's a difficult battle.
02:10:25.000 You got to be happy.
02:10:27.000 Elon Musk has got Twitter, which means we there's already been reports that people are coming back that certain accounts that have long been banned have been reinstated.
02:10:34.000 So we will see what happens.
02:10:36.000 If he brings Trump back, great.
02:10:38.000 Either way, we are going to see the memes again.
02:10:42.000 The memes were so hilarious with the Pepe frogs and the meme magic.
02:10:46.000 And it's, you know, it's reinvigorating that old six years ago, back in the fray.
02:10:53.000 It's important that we look at what was it, about 58 minutes into the speech when he said that he would, I thought he said he would arrest drug dealers and in one day have them tried and executed.
02:11:02.000 But I could be wrong about that.
02:11:04.000 People were saying that he commented that he saw he heard China did that that's not a good thing But he did call for the execution of drug.
02:11:10.000 Yes that I disagree with completely.
02:11:12.000 I don't I don't I think I'm anti death penalty I'm not for and to take Xi Jinping at his word when he was like How do you have no drug problems in China?
02:11:19.000 Like what an insane thing to say about your country.
02:11:22.000 We have no drug problems It's like saying we have no abuse in this country.
02:11:25.000 Yeah and Well, I think what we're going to be seeing in the next few weeks and months is going to be an absolute crap show, and I'm all here for it.
02:11:34.000 People in the corporate media are going to be losing their minds.
02:11:36.000 People are going to be just going absolutely crazy.
02:11:40.000 I'm here for all of it.
02:11:41.000 It's going to be a wild ride, and man, who knows what's going to happen.
02:11:46.000 Will Twitter bring Donald Trump back?
02:11:48.000 Will he go back on the platform?
02:11:50.000 That's the next kind of battlefield that people are looking at, and personally, I hope he does come back to Twitter.
02:11:55.000 I think this discourse is going to get wild, and put on your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
02:12:03.000 I found that Trump is, I don't know what's the right word, not susceptible, but he's open-minded about things.
02:12:09.000 Like if he hears a good idea, he'll start to go with it, and then he'll really go with it if he really believes in it.
02:12:16.000 So like graphene, for instance, or free software, two things I'm really passionate about.
02:12:20.000 involving the United States with being at the forefront of.
02:12:22.000 I think he could get on board.
02:12:24.000 Edward super chatted, Trump cast.
02:12:26.000 Ian is a dirty hippie even though I love him.
02:12:29.000 That is not a lie!
02:12:31.000 I did shower today.
02:12:32.000 So, let's read it.
02:12:35.000 The nuked idea says, I could see that happening.
02:12:38.000 incredibly important info if trump loses the nomination to dissent is he may run
02:12:41.000 as a third party splitting the vote that happened in nineteen twelve with
02:12:44.000 roosevelt taft and wilson look where that got us
02:12:47.000 ross perot also split the vote helped uh... clinton but uh... it will see will see i don't know for sure
02:12:53.000 i could see that happening i agree with him i said i was a little over the
02:12:56.000 federal level i mean i know i know in texas they they have a sore loser
02:12:59.000 laws It says, look, if you get bounced out in the primaries, you can't go and run as an independent in the generals, right?
02:13:05.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:13:05.000 Is that true?
02:13:06.000 So we had like a situation we had down there is we had a guy named Mark Gallowby.
02:13:13.000 He ran for comptroller, I believe it is.
02:13:16.000 He lost in the primaries, but he filed to run as an independent with a write-in candidacy for the generals for governor.
02:13:26.000 So that happened.
02:13:27.000 There was a lot of pressure for people when Don Huffines lost in the primaries.
02:13:31.000 And Chad, they're like, hey, once you guys run write-in candidates, you file as an independent.
02:13:35.000 You can't do that.
02:13:36.000 You've got to sort of lose your loss.
02:13:37.000 If you get bounced out in the primaries, you can't file to run as an independent in the generals.
02:13:41.000 I don't know how I feel about that, but that's an interesting thought.
02:13:41.000 Wow.
02:13:44.000 It is interesting.
02:13:45.000 I think right now, I don't know how Trump implements a paper ballot, I don't know how Trump reforms elections.
02:13:50.000 I'm glad he's talking about it because if they're not thinking about this, they lose no matter what.
02:13:55.000 At the very least, they should be gearing up for the practical battle of ballot harvesting, legal, lawful, get-out-the-vote operations, getting low information and low propensity voters to vote, then Do what DeSantis did, start cleaning things up, fixing the system, and stopping this ridiculous low-information voter system.
02:14:19.000 But we can't kid ourselves.
02:14:20.000 The Republicans don't have a lot of institutional power to change things.
02:14:26.000 That's why I'm saying they need to win first, and so get that ballot harvesting machine up and running.
02:14:30.000 What are they going to win between now and 2024?
02:14:33.000 That's the question.
02:14:34.000 In 2024, so right now what they need to do is get out the vote operations, door knocking campaigns, ballot harvesting operations where it's legal, Then, when they win in Congress, at the state level, in the Senate, and the federal government, and they get it all in 2024, they start issuing the hard reforms saying, you can't do this, you can't do this, you can't do this, we're done playing these games.
02:14:56.000 Well, look, I don't want to let this skate by, because I think it would be a crime if we glossed this over.
02:15:04.000 If he's talking about, you know, all of those election reforms, literally things that we agree with, right?
02:15:09.000 The paper ballots, you know, all of those things that he said he would do with elections.
02:15:13.000 for that to happen from the office of the president essentially says that he is going to do the thing that we all castigated Biden for, which is, you know, when Biden and AOC and the rest of them wanted to federalize the election system, we all went absolutely, you know, bat crap crazy.
02:15:33.000 And so for him to carry out the policy he just suggested, he is going to have to literally do what we all criticize the Democrats for wanting to do, which is federalize those elections.
02:15:42.000 The next president could just come in and undo what he did.
02:15:45.000 Exactly.
02:15:47.000 People are saying I said something.
02:15:49.000 I don't know what you mean.
02:15:50.000 I said ridiculous.
02:15:50.000 That's all I said.
02:15:51.000 I didn't say anything else.
02:15:52.000 I said the ridiculous voting system.
02:15:54.000 Of course.
02:15:54.000 That's all.
02:15:55.000 I don't remember.
02:15:57.000 You know what he didn't mention is vaccines.
02:15:59.000 He glossed over the word.
02:16:00.000 No, that's not true.
02:16:01.000 He didn't say the word, did he?
02:16:02.000 He said that people who lost their jobs would be reinstated with an apology and back pay.
02:16:06.000 That's pretty cool.
02:16:07.000 That's amazing!
02:16:08.000 He kind of right off the gate was like, and because of me we saved so many lives during COVID.
02:16:13.000 And you're like, what is he saying?
02:16:14.000 Because of you what?
02:16:15.000 Because you rushed the vaccine out?
02:16:17.000 What are you saying right now?
02:16:18.000 I'm not going to hop on that bandwagon.
02:16:18.000 No one clapped.
02:16:20.000 I'm not going to hop on that bandwagon because the lockdowns were wrong.
02:16:24.000 His administration made that ruling.
02:16:24.000 They sure did.
02:16:27.000 I'm going to undo what I did.
02:16:28.000 I'm going to undo what I did.
02:16:30.000 They gave Bill Gates a seat at the table, right?
02:16:34.000 All of those lockdowns all trickled down from the federal side of this, and so I don't think
02:16:38.000 he can skate by his culpability.
02:16:40.000 Bill Gates was dictating policy and telling Trump what to do, and Trump listened and followed
02:16:45.000 And however you feel about the COVID vaccines, right?
02:16:48.000 Whatever you feel about those, understand that how you feel about them is all a direct result of Operation Warp Speed, which happened under the Trump administration.
02:16:57.000 So, you know, that's a conversation you can have all day long about whether or not his policies are going to be effective.
02:17:03.000 But remember, It's all at the federal level.
02:17:06.000 Essentially what they're saying is, we're going to do these things, and we're going to do them.
02:17:10.000 Hopefully you like them, but that power stays in place for the other team to be able to do it if you don't like it.
02:17:15.000 Leland Taylor says, Trump should have ended his announcement with, Elon, here's my $8.
02:17:15.000 Here's a good one.
02:17:19.000 There you go.
02:17:21.000 Or just showed, like, $8.
02:17:21.000 Oh, snap.
02:17:22.000 Like, here you go, Elon.
02:17:24.000 I got something for you, Elon.
02:17:26.000 I'm back, baby!
02:17:27.000 He had Elon as an advisor at one point early on, and then Elon was like, I'm not working with that guy.
02:17:32.000 He's impossible.
02:17:33.000 Well, Elon was pushing for more global warming policies, which is also very interesting and something to keep an eye out because he wanted more of those policies for that and allegedly Trump wasn't playing ball.
02:17:45.000 I really liked that Trump said he was going to, which is crazy, declare war on the cartels.
02:17:50.000 Like he was saying MI6 is their biggest enemy.
02:17:52.000 That's like Kennedy style going after the mob.
02:17:55.000 Here's what we do.
02:17:57.000 Voter ID, no brainer.
02:17:59.000 Paper ballots, of course.
02:18:01.000 Same day voting?
02:18:02.000 Absolutely.
02:18:03.000 No early voting, no mail-in voting, but election day is a holiday.
02:18:07.000 How will Democrats give up all the power, and the way that they established this game for themselves, I don't see them changing it in any time.
02:18:15.000 I see them holding on to this current position.
02:18:17.000 Yes, yes, yes.
02:18:18.000 You misunderstand.
02:18:19.000 I'm not saying, Democrats, please give up power.
02:18:21.000 I'm saying, this is a policy position he's running on, no different from him saying, I will lower taxes.
02:18:26.000 He can't right now, without being in office, lower taxes.
02:18:29.000 He needs to win first.
02:18:30.000 The election system needs to be cleaned and fixed so that we stop having Democrats exploit stupid people for easy votes, and that this country returns to people who care about it, and then it becomes better for everyone across the board and we can work to fix these problems.
02:18:44.000 That means right now, Republicans need to start forming organizations and dumping tens of millions of dollars into get-out-the-vote and legal ballot-harvesting operations, and then when they win, they can pass all the laws they want and clean the system up fixing it. And Ian, just really quickly, it wasn't MI6, it
02:19:03.000 was MS-13. Oh my gosh! I gotta be careful, man.
02:19:06.000 MI6 is British Intelligence. His visual, everybody looked at me. That's a much better story all the same.
02:19:11.000 MI6, I love you. As soon as he said MI6, I'm like, why is your name so similar to the cartel name?
02:19:16.000 What is it? MS-13. It's MS-13. Come on, guys, you gotta diversify, because if I'm getting confused
02:19:22.000 in public, that's not good. There's probably some crossover.
02:19:25.000 I guess I gotta blame myself. They're not gonna change the name of
02:19:27.000 of their national security apparatus because you made a mistake.
02:19:31.000 Trump is not going to declare war on MI6, but he indicated he wanted to declare war on the cartels, MS-13 being one of them.
02:19:37.000 Guys, guys, you know what?
02:19:38.000 Look, all of this, who knows what's going to happen?
02:19:42.000 Trump might slip on a banana peel or something, whatever.
02:19:46.000 He might get indicted, and if he does, this is only going to help him.
02:19:49.000 This is the paradigm that people need to understand here.
02:19:52.000 The federal government and the corporate media will go after him, which will allow him to have more popularity.
02:19:57.000 So this is the conundrum that we're dealing with, which I think people should be questioning.
02:20:01.000 That, I'm just saying, if all that happens with Trump is that he did this today, watching the media seethe is worth it.
02:20:10.000 How do you feel about what Daniel was saying about the federalization of voting laws?
02:20:16.000 If Trump went in and was like, I'm going to make sure that everyone has to do paper ballots, isn't that up to the states?
02:20:21.000 Yes.
02:20:21.000 And that's why I'm saying state level.
02:20:24.000 I'm not saying Trump should go in as the executive and be like, I hereby decree.
02:20:31.000 I'm saying Republicans need to win.
02:20:33.000 Clean up this system.
02:20:34.000 The fact that Trump is talking about it means they understand why they're losing.
02:20:38.000 It's a good thing.
02:20:40.000 Yeah, I don't like when Democrats tried passing that bill that would have nationalized voting laws.
02:20:44.000 Very, very bad.
02:20:45.000 Insane.
02:20:46.000 Interesting note about that is when Ted Cruz was asked about, he was in College Station, when he was asked about the Texas issue, he listed federalization of the elections as one of his red lines that would cause him, he says, I get it.
02:20:58.000 I'm not there yet.
02:21:00.000 But here are some redline issues.
02:21:01.000 And he cited federalization of the elections.
02:21:04.000 Elimination of the Electoral College was another.
02:21:06.000 But he cited that as one of the triggers for him to come out and support Texas.
02:21:10.000 He obviously supports our right to, as do many people.
02:21:13.000 But I think this election is a real interesting flex point for people.
02:21:17.000 If you can't trust that your vote counts, then... Will you vote, even?
02:21:24.000 Yeah.
02:21:25.000 Well, I mean, I think, look at voter turnout.
02:21:27.000 I mean, when you, I know in Texas during the midterms, uh, voter turnout was pretty doggone abysmal.
02:21:33.000 Um, I think it was 60 some odd percent of people just didn't even vote.
02:21:36.000 Yeah.
02:21:36.000 A lot of independents didn't vote.
02:21:38.000 A lot of people who aren't involved in politics didn't vote.
02:21:41.000 It was, it was around a hundred million people that did.
02:21:43.000 This country is made up of about 330 million.
02:21:46.000 Some of them children, obviously, and can't vote, but still a majority of people didn't.
02:21:50.000 That was cute.
02:21:50.000 I love it.
02:21:51.000 That's like when he was explaining Red Pill to me earlier.
02:21:53.000 My assessment right now, the economy's bad.
02:21:58.000 It was good under Trump.
02:21:59.000 It was not perfect, but it was better than it was.
02:22:02.000 True.
02:22:03.000 We saw really great numbers, but you guys are right.
02:22:05.000 There was a lot of money going out.
02:22:05.000 He was spending a lot.
02:22:07.000 But the point is, how does the average American feel?
02:22:10.000 And they certainly don't feel good about what's happening right now.
02:22:12.000 I'm not convinced that Donald Trump dragged the midterms.
02:22:15.000 I think that's mainstream media BS.
02:22:18.000 Look at how they're responding to him announcing he's running for president.
02:22:21.000 If they really thought he dragged the Republican Party down, they'd be saying Donald Trump, who just dragged the Republicans, risks destroying the Republican Party or something.
02:22:30.000 No, no, no.
02:22:31.000 They're saying he's an insurrectionist, he's old, he's evil.
02:22:34.000 Here's what happened.
02:22:35.000 Donald Trump won.
02:22:37.000 He got, what, 90% success in his endorsements.
02:22:40.000 More than that, like 93%.
02:22:42.000 A lot of people are trying to claim that he dragged the party down when they just, it's now announced, they've won.
02:22:48.000 They've won the House.
02:22:49.000 Republicans did it.
02:22:50.000 It was a hard-fought battle where the Democrats have been operating under universal mail-in ballot rules, which is ridiculously favorable to them due to urban density and due to, you know, ballot curing and things like that.
02:23:01.000 With Republicans voting in person, voting machines failing, they leave the line.
02:23:05.000 It's very, very difficult for Republicans.
02:23:07.000 Plus, it's harder to go door-to-door in a rural area than it is an urban area.
02:23:11.000 With that uphill battle, Republicans still got the House.
02:23:14.000 And now I heard today there was a meeting with Fauci and a few others, I'm sorry, with Rand Paul and a few others, looking at inquiries into Fauci, the COVID response.
02:23:23.000 So this is a good trajectory.
02:23:25.000 I think Donald Trump, based on today, is on a strong path and it's looking up.
02:23:30.000 A lot of people on the left are saying, look how low energy and sad he's not going to win.
02:23:34.000 They're nuts.
02:23:35.000 I'm not saying Donald Trump maintains it for the whole time.
02:23:37.000 I'm not saying that he does better than he did in 2020, you know, 74 million votes or
02:23:41.000 whatever.
02:23:42.000 But I'm saying right now, this was the show of force we needed.
02:23:44.000 He did not complain about the election.
02:23:46.000 He made a joke about it.
02:23:47.000 That was funny.
02:23:48.000 But he didn't waste time talking about it.
02:23:50.000 And that's what perturbed me in the past.
02:23:54.000 He mentioned strengthening families.
02:23:56.000 He mentioned fixing voting laws.
02:24:00.000 Let's see where this goes.
02:24:00.000 I dig it.
02:24:02.000 I think Ron DeSantis is going to have a very, very hard time going up against Trump after what we just saw.
02:24:07.000 It was reserved.
02:24:08.000 There was a little bit of humor in there.
02:24:09.000 He made a bunch of good points.
02:24:11.000 Let's see if he can maintain that going into this primary season.
02:24:15.000 I want to see them on the debate stage.
02:24:17.000 Is it going to be fun?
02:24:19.000 I want to see them argue.
02:24:20.000 I want to see them debate ideas.
02:24:21.000 I want to see them go at each other.
02:24:22.000 Let's do this.
02:24:23.000 I'm so excited.
02:24:24.000 We got the new space that we're getting built right now.
02:24:26.000 It's a massive warehouse-like building.
02:24:29.000 It's a big steel building.
02:24:31.000 We're gonna have a big projector with big speakers and a bar and the new studio is on the second floor overlooking the space.
02:24:36.000 I'm just super excited to have this massive screen playing the debates.
02:24:41.000 Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, both of them going at it.
02:24:44.000 I don't know who else could be on that stage who would even bother trying.
02:24:47.000 Jeb Bush!
02:24:49.000 One and only.
02:24:49.000 I wish.
02:24:50.000 I would pay per view commentary by Joe Rogan to see Jeb Bush on that.
02:24:50.000 We need him.
02:24:56.000 You know Nikki Haley's going to be there and Mike Pompeo, probably Mike Pence, and I think all of them are going to get obliterated.
02:25:02.000 Pence-Trump, that's the ultimate dude, because they got personal beef.
02:25:06.000 I think DeSantis is going to give him a run for his money.
02:25:08.000 I don't think DeSantis... I think he might even take it from Trump.
02:25:12.000 Maybe.
02:25:13.000 I don't think DeSantis should run.
02:25:14.000 I think it's super important that he runs Florida right, no matter what happens.
02:25:18.000 He's so quality in that position, and with Trump announcing, why would he jab that?
02:25:24.000 Look, it's the Peter principle, man.
02:25:26.000 There's a tendency that we see somebody have success at a certain level, like as governor of a state.
02:25:32.000 Someone that we love, you know, now they want to just automatically shove them to an office at that federal level.
02:25:39.000 And we have to realize something is that if you want a politician, you know, somebody who's a public servant, a statesman, if you want that statesman to no longer be a statesman, send them to work on the federal level.
02:25:51.000 I mean, you know, it's like saying, hey, look, we have this person who's a great swimmer.
02:25:51.000 Right.
02:25:56.000 So let's send them over here to swim in the cesspool and they'll make the cesspool smell better.
02:26:01.000 That's not how this works.
02:26:02.000 I mean, you don't you don't do that.
02:26:04.000 And I think that's and I agree with you.
02:26:06.000 This is part of the problem is especially at the state level.
02:26:09.000 You know, we talk about it in Texas all the time.
02:26:11.000 If our politicians at the state level couldn't go any higher, how much better would they govern in the state?
02:26:17.000 We need to get a countdown.
02:26:20.000 721 days until 2024 general.
02:26:23.000 So I'd love to get like a digital clock just put up counting down in the background every episode would be hilarious.
02:26:30.000 I'm excited for this.
02:26:31.000 Primary season is going to be so much fun.
02:26:31.000 Let's do it.
02:26:34.000 The year after a presidential election is always like a downturn.
02:26:39.000 Everyone's exhausted.
02:26:41.000 They're tired in the political space.
02:26:43.000 And then you get the next year where we're getting ready for the midterms and it's like, eh.
02:26:47.000 Then finally we had the midterms happen, but now we enter primary season.
02:26:52.000 It is going to be hilarious.
02:26:54.000 The Democrats are going to, it's going to look like a sitcom level bad.
02:26:58.000 Then you're going to have Trump.
02:27:00.000 Look, we don't know if DeSantis is going to go for it.
02:27:02.000 DeSantis might actually just say not doing it because it could really, it could harm his future prospects, but we don't know.
02:27:08.000 We don't know.
02:27:09.000 Oh, I was thinking I'd like to talk to Candace again.
02:27:11.000 I haven't talked to her since she was on the show last time.
02:27:13.000 And having just gone through what she went through with Trump, she said that he was really rude to her.
02:27:16.000 She's no longer supporting him.
02:27:17.000 I'm interested to get her perspective on what she thinks about the speech.
02:27:21.000 And she's probably going to give a recap, I guess, if you check out her show, The Candace Owen Show.
02:27:24.000 But I'd just like to hear her personal thoughts.
02:27:26.000 Her saga was pretty interesting.
02:27:27.000 I mean, she kind of gave Trump a kind of softball question about, you know, the vaccine.
02:27:32.000 Oh my god.
02:27:33.000 gave his answer. She didn't even contest him. And then she even released a video
02:27:37.000 saying, hey guys, please go easy on Trump. You know, he's a little bit older.
02:27:41.000 There was some fake news by the Daily Beast. And she says that Trump fell for
02:27:45.000 the fake news by the Daily Beast. And that's why Trump was mad at her.
02:27:48.000 Look, what day is the election in 2020?
02:27:53.000 V for Vendetta Day?
02:27:56.000 It's V for Vendetta Day.
02:27:58.000 November 5th, 2024.
02:28:00.000 Guy Fawkes Day is the day.
02:28:03.000 Now look, Guy Fawkes was a theocrat, and I think, I could be wrong, but my understanding is that he wanted to install Christian theocracy in London.
02:28:14.000 And, you know, that was the gunpowder plot or whatever.
02:28:17.000 So I read a little bit about it.
02:28:19.000 This is the guy Foxmasked, like V for Vendetta.
02:28:22.000 But it's come to represent whatever that was.
02:28:26.000 It's come to represent revolution, protest, and specifically with V for Vendetta, the people rising up against the authoritarian establishment.
02:28:36.000 So, I'm sure the left is going to come out and argue the exact same thing.
02:28:41.000 We are the resistance.
02:28:43.000 Remember, remember the 5th of November.
02:28:44.000 We must stop the fascist Donald Trump.
02:28:47.000 The only problem is Trump's not in power.
02:28:49.000 So that analogy doesn't work as well as the people out of power saying it to challenge the machine.
02:28:55.000 But that won't prevent them from trying.
02:28:56.000 No, they'll say, and they can say whatever they want.
02:28:58.000 I just think it's funny.
02:28:58.000 The same people who marketed Federman as a legitimate guy.
02:29:00.000 So, I mean, you know, they'll do it.
02:29:02.000 I'm glad that Donald mentioned the deep state.
02:29:02.000 They'll try it.
02:29:05.000 I think he said it, the words deep state in the speech.
02:29:07.000 Because if we're going to talk about the problem that society should be revolting against, it's, you know, like corporate collusion and stuff.
02:29:14.000 Democratic and Republican freedom came before corporations existed.
02:29:19.000 I want to give a shout out to Raymond G. Stanley Jr., because he's the one who's pointed out.
02:29:22.000 He said, Tim, remember, remember the 5th of November 2024.
02:29:25.000 So shout out for that one.
02:29:27.000 Dude, Raymond G. Oh, man, this is going to be fun.
02:29:30.000 I'm excited for this year.
02:29:31.000 I'm just I'm just sitting there.
02:29:32.000 I'm thinking about all of the primary Democrat debates they're going to have, the weird campaigning, the mudslinging.
02:29:38.000 Will they debate?
02:29:40.000 Each other.
02:29:40.000 They have no choice.
02:29:42.000 Yeah.
02:29:43.000 Who's to say?
02:29:44.000 Well, Biden or whoever becomes the nominee.
02:29:47.000 Well, here's the thing.
02:29:48.000 If Biden says he's running, there's no Democrat primary.
02:29:51.000 And that's just the most ridiculous thing ever because Biden ain't there.
02:29:54.000 No.
02:29:55.000 But he says he's running.
02:29:56.000 I know.
02:29:57.000 I wonder if the age of debates, as we know them, is over.
02:30:00.000 I would like to see more of them, two people just talking.
02:30:03.000 I think so.
02:30:04.000 But the moderator thing, like saying, I can't talk to you.
02:30:06.000 Like, me and you, Tim, are going to debate.
02:30:08.000 We'd be looking at each other, asking each other questions, pointing out when the other person's wrong, theorizing, things like that.
02:30:14.000 The weird debate—they call it a debate, but it's like, wait to be called on and answer a question isn't really a debate.
02:30:20.000 I paid my way through college with speech and debate.
02:30:25.000 I got hardware at the house still after all these years.
02:30:30.000 What we have are not debates.
02:30:32.000 We need proper debates where these guys are hammering each other on policy.
02:30:36.000 And, you know, some would say master.
02:30:39.000 Yes, more master debaters in office is what I'm looking for.
02:30:43.000 That's great.
02:30:43.000 Great.
02:30:44.000 All right, everybody.
02:30:45.000 So this was a special episode.

02:31:13.000 And we're going to... What's going on?
02:31:17.000 What is that?
02:31:17.000 Somebody's phone started talking.

02:32:06.000 He didn't consult with me, by the way.
02:32:07.000 But, yeah, look, you know, we did get a chance to talk a good bit about Tex-It tonight.
02:32:11.000 And I would encourage anyone who has more questions about it to either get the book.
02:32:17.000 It's called Tex-It, Why and How Texas Will Leave the Union.
02:32:20.000 It's been a four-time bestseller on Amazon.
02:32:22.000 Or, you know, I would encourage people to go to our website, Texitnow.org, the one that Facebook is putting the kibosh on.
02:32:29.000 We have about the 100 most asked questions about the TXIT issue.
02:32:34.000 Full detailed answers the whole nine yards and you know the good news is there's a place for those people there who if they go there they see what that they understand what we're doing.
02:32:43.000 They can plug into what we're doing as an organization and take TXIT from theory into reality.
02:32:48.000 So very excited about that and thanks for having me.
02:32:51.000 I just want to point out I got a message from someone.
02:32:53.000 Apparently our viewership rivaled Fox News on YouTube.
02:32:57.000 That's great.
02:32:58.000 Thank you everybody.
02:32:59.000 I really do appreciate it because we're trying to displace the corporate media even if it is Fox.
02:33:04.000 And you got to do them by doing a better job than they do which of course we strive to do here.
02:33:04.000 Bravo.
02:33:08.000 I strive to do that on my YouTube channel youtube.com forward slash we are change.
02:33:12.000 I did a very interesting video about Klaus Schwab taking over the G20 and then I did a more spicy video on LukeUncensored.com but Just check out the video right now.
02:33:22.000 It's a very interesting one.
02:33:23.000 YouTube.com forward slash we are change.
02:33:25.000 See you there. And I my mood actually is elevated after listening to Donald speak like that
02:33:29.000 I don't agree with them on there's a lot of things and I agree with them on some things but the
02:33:32.000 The fact that he's willing to get up there and do it and run for president and say those things is inspiring
02:33:37.000 Because we need more people speaking the truth or at least speaking their own perception of the truth. We need that
02:33:42.000 now we need it So thank you Donald for doing that and everyone else that's
02:33:46.000 involved with it. Thanks. I care. I want to be there I want to be part of this
02:33:51.000 Tonight was a bunch of fun.
02:33:52.000 Ian goes full MAGA.
02:33:54.000 No, no, I'm not saying, I don't adhere to political parties, but I want to support brilliant genius.
02:33:57.000 We gotta get Ian a tie-dye MAGA fleece hoodie.
02:34:01.000 Hilarious.
02:34:02.000 Bedazzled with crystals.
02:34:03.000 What we gotta do is make one that says, magic, make America great, Ian Crossland.
02:34:08.000 Magic.
02:34:09.000 Let's make them.
02:34:10.000 It's all in your hands, Ian.
02:34:10.000 We're gonna print those and sell them.
02:34:11.000 And all in your mind.
02:34:13.000 Tonight, it was great to meet you, Daniel.
02:34:15.000 Tonight was a bunch of fun.
02:34:17.000 Yeah, thanks guys.
02:34:19.000 I'm trying to think of a good, uh, how can we make Make America Great and then I see, but not Ian Crosland, you know?
02:34:25.000 Let's just make a bunch of magic gear and sell it.
02:34:27.000 Make America Great Ian Crosland, yeah.
02:34:29.000 No, but we can come up with something funny that's like a hippy pro-Trump kind of thing, you know?
02:34:34.000 All right, everybody, thanks for hanging out.
02:34:37.000 Seriously, this has been fantastic.
02:34:38.000 I'm really excited.
02:34:39.000 Tomorrow's gonna be spicy.
02:34:41.000 So you know that tomorrow, the media's gonna lose their ever-loving mind, and we're probably gonna have a lot to talk about.
02:34:49.000 So thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all then.
