00:02:37.000The boomer generation and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
00:24:56.000And this is something that I predicted.
00:24:59.000Not like it was some great prediction, but we've been talking about this now for the past several weeks, ever since the first general election debate at the end of June.
00:25:15.000That Joe Biden was eventually headed out of the race due to his deteriorating mental condition.
00:25:23.000So tonight we'll be talking all about that.
00:25:26.000We will talk about the withdrawal prospect that Biden is even alive, which is something that people are questioning today.
00:25:34.000That's a pretty historic major announcement, which was made yesterday afternoon, just a couple of days after the end of the Republican convention.
00:25:45.000It was not made on official letterhead.
00:25:47.000It was not made, appears to be, even with Joe Biden's signature.
00:25:53.000And since the announcement, we have not actually seen Joe Biden.
00:25:58.000So this has left many people wondering if he's even still alive or if he's about to die potentially due to COVID or some other terminal illness.
00:26:10.000So we'll talk about Biden and the withdrawal.
00:26:13.000We'll talk about Kamala Harris or whoever might be the Democratic nominee, although it looks like it's going to be her.
00:26:20.000It's going to be quite the process for the Democrats to get it together and make her the nominee.
00:26:27.000But it looks like it's it's almost a done deal.
00:26:29.000It's not been actually it's been just a little over 24 hours.
00:26:34.000And it looks like it's just about a done deal.
00:26:36.000She's got a quarter of the delegates that she needs.
00:26:40.000She's got endorsements from all of her potential or would-be challengers, endorsements from the party elites, from almost everybody other than a notable few.
00:26:54.000So we'll talk about her and how she is going to become the nominee and what that process looks like.
00:27:01.000We'll also talk about how this changes the race.
00:27:04.000Of course now this is a very different race and it's left a lot of Trump supporters and I think the Trump campaign personnel panicking because this was not supposed to happen.
00:27:17.000If it was going to happen, it was supposed to happen much earlier.
00:27:21.000The Republican leadership was under the impression that after the debate we were locked in with Biden.
00:27:28.000And so this entire campaign and the whole operation, the convention, even choosing Vance as the vice presidential nominee, it was all tailor-made for a race against Joe Biden.
00:27:42.000Now with him not on the ticket, it changes everything.
00:27:48.000And although Kamala Harris is actually somehow less popular than Biden, it still does change that fundamental dynamic.
00:27:59.000If we have time, we'll talk about the Secret Service and the investigation into their handling of the Trump assassination attempt last week.
00:29:28.000Where the sniper was stationed, it was visible.
00:29:31.000We also found out that the assassin, or would-be assassin, was known to law enforcement an hour before the event even started.
00:29:43.000So at first, there were eyewitnesses who said that two minutes before Trump was assassinated, they had warned law enforcement.
00:29:51.000And people could say, well, two minutes seems like a long time, might be a little bit difficult to get somebody on a ladder to get up there.
00:29:59.000But now they're saying they were aware of him, Secret Service and local law enforcement an hour, an hour before.
00:30:07.000And they sent Trump up on stage knowing
00:30:11.000That there was a potentially dangerous person of interest in the crowd, and they lost him.
00:30:43.000So we only hit 70,000 like a few weeks ago.
00:30:50.000Which was more than I ever had on DLive, and we blew past 75,000, which is more than I had on YouTube.
00:30:59.000And we're now rapidly closing in on 100,000, so if you do nothing else to support me, hey, if you're not doing anything, make sure to make an account, subscribe to the channel, like the video, and leave a comment.
00:31:11.000Let me know what you like about the show, or what you don't like.
00:32:42.000Every year, because he's done this a number of times, every time that he's given a speech to the Congress, they literally give him like 35 standing ovations.
00:33:37.000He released a written statement yesterday morning saying that effective immediately he is withdrawing from the race and endorsing his Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket.
00:33:54.000He is not, however, resigning as President of the United States.
00:33:59.000And this is something where there's going to be a lot of questions.
00:34:05.000And so there's many questions about how this affects the race and what the procedure is for Kamala to replace him in terms of money, delegates, polling, favorability, a lot of numbers to look at.
00:34:20.000But maybe the biggest question is if Joe Biden does not fit
00:34:24.000To finish the race, then how is he fit to finish his first term in office?
00:34:30.000That doesn't really make much sense to me.
00:34:37.000It says, quote, President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about the incumbent's fitness for office.
00:34:52.000The unprecedented announcement delivered less than four months before the election immediately upended a campaign that both political parties view as the most consequential in generations.
00:35:03.000The president, intent on serving out the remainder of his term in office, quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take on Trump and encouraged his party to unite behind her, making her the party's instant favorite for the nomination at its August convention in Chicago.
00:35:20.000The announcement is the latest jolt to a tumultuous campaign for the White House coming a week after the attempted assassination of Trump.
00:35:27.000A party's presumptive presidential nominee has never stepped out of the race so closely to the election.
00:35:34.000President Lyndon Johnson, besieged by the Vietnam War, announced in March 1968 that he would not seek another term after just a single state's primary.
00:35:43.000Biden's July decision comes after more than 14 million Democrats cast votes supporting him in the primary process.
00:35:51.000Harrison, a statement praised Biden's selfless and patriotic act and said she intends to earn and win her party's nomination.
00:36:04.000That an incumbent president has withdrawn, and a nominee for a major party, I should add, has withdrawn from the race so close to the election.
00:36:15.000And bear in mind, historically the conventions, which is where the nominees are officially chosen, always happen in July.
00:36:24.000It's very unusual that this convention is happening in August, and maybe that's why.
00:36:29.000It's actually unheard of that it happens.
00:36:32.000It's going to start August 19th, and it's going to run through the 22nd.
00:36:38.000So it's unheard of that the convention takes place so late.
00:36:42.000And the reason why is because of ballot access deadlines.
00:36:47.000And so something that we'll get into, we're going to talk about the procedure to choose the nominee, is that there's actually very early deadlines to gain access to the ballot in the various states.
00:36:58.000If you want to appear on the ballot in the general election, you need to register actually earlier than August.
00:37:05.000And this is one reason why there was talk about doing a virtual vote for the nominee before the convention.
00:37:14.000Because the convention takes place after one of the deadlines, the Ohio deadline to register to be on the ballot.
00:37:21.000Ohio went in and they did remedy that.
00:37:23.000State legislature convened and they changed it to accommodate the Democrats.
00:37:27.000Nevertheless, this is one of the reasons why the conventions almost always historically take place in the middle of the summer, in July, before August.
00:37:37.000And so you wonder, maybe they scheduled it so far in advance
00:37:41.000To accommodate for the possibility that maybe Biden would be stepping out.
00:39:28.000Or maybe they thought that they could just pull the wool over our eyes for just long enough.
00:39:33.000I mean, they literally thought that they were going to be able to push this guy across the finish line and hope that nobody noticed that he has severe dementia and senility.
00:39:44.000I don't know how anybody was delusional enough to think that because there was an alternate timeline where they actually held the primary this year.
00:39:55.000It was pretty obvious at the beginning of the year that Biden was in rough shape.
00:39:59.000They could have held, they had primary contests.
00:40:04.000They could have ran Kamala and a number of others.
00:40:09.000You have to wonder then, because, and this is my conspiracy brain, but you have to wonder, maybe the Democrats aren't so stupid and maybe this is in some way part of the plan.
00:40:20.000Was this part of the plan to coronate Kamala Harris?
00:40:23.000Because that's one of the things I wonder.
00:40:26.000Are the Democrats so stupid that they thought that Biden could really make it?
00:41:17.000And what's more, they're not going to hold an open convention.
00:41:21.000With everything that's going on with Israel and Palestine and how that's divided the left, but also with how competitive Trump is in this election, that he's so popular and won all this support from Silicon Valley, loaded up with money.
00:41:35.000They're not going to hold an open convention at this point and risk some dark horse, some unknown quantity winning the nomination.
00:41:45.000And then, I realized something this morning, and then we'll get into some of the news developments, but I'm just sort of, this is my initial reaction.
00:41:54.000I was thinking about it this morning and I put out this tweet.
00:41:58.000You realize that there were two very unnatural, two very unexplained situations that are affecting both major party nominees.
00:42:11.000Days before Donald Trump was chosen as the Republican nominee, formally and officially selected as the nominee, he was almost killed in an inexplicable security failure that was the fault of the Secret Service.
00:42:30.000And if the assassin was successful, which he would have been, if Trump didn't turn his head and the bullet missed him by a quarter of an inch,
00:42:40.000There would be an almost exactly similar process occurring at the Republican Convention.
00:43:32.000And if the assassin was successful, Trump, who won the primary, the only one who could win the primary, would not be the nominee.
00:43:41.000And instead, the party would choose the nominee, probably influenced by Silicon Valley donors, which are all deeply in bed with the CIA and with the intelligence community.
00:43:53.000Peter Thiel and David Sachs and Lonsdale and Musk and all these people.
00:43:59.000They would be the ones choosing the nominee.
00:44:02.000And as I said, they're deeply connected with the CIA, something we'll talk about on a later show.
00:44:07.000And then what is played out this weekend, a week later, mirrors it exactly.
00:45:09.000Was that the ultimate strategy to get rid of both of these guys and for them to be able to select the next president of the United States during this all-important time?
00:45:20.000And consider the stakes of the election.
00:45:42.000This is under the purview of the CIA, the Department of Defense, foreign intelligence.
00:45:49.000It is the most important election of their lifetimes.
00:45:52.000This is the most important election for Ukraine and the NATO alliance.
00:45:56.000This is the most important election for Taiwan, which is the headquarters of all the chip manufacturing for the world.
00:46:03.000This is the most important election for Israel, and for Netanyahu in particular, and their go-for-broke war against Iran, Lebanon, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.
00:46:14.000So you might be saying to yourself, well, it doesn't seem all that important for us.
00:46:17.000I mean, inflation's pretty bad, and don't get me wrong, there's problems in the country, but it's not so much different from four years ago, in all honesty.
00:46:28.000It's severely worse now, but nevertheless,
00:46:32.000Who it is really consequential for is for Ukraine, which would be carved up into a rump state and its eastern territory and the Black Sea would be forever forfeited to Russia, severely weakening NATO and the United States deterrent threat.
00:46:47.000It's the most important election for Taiwan, which is facing potentially an imminent invasion with Xi Jinping's last term expiring within the term of the next president, and this is consequential for
00:46:58.000Silicon Valley and for the most important industry in the world which is tech, AI, computers because that's where a sizable percentage of the world's chips come from and of course for Israel which we've talked about at length on the show because of all the land that is at stake and this is maybe their last shot to take out Iran's nuclear program.
00:47:22.000Why would people be dying and getting shot?
00:47:25.000It's because intelligence, this shadow war that is going on, that is deeply interested in what the United States does with its guns and money, this is the most important thing for them.
00:47:39.000Something is clearly boiling to the surface.
00:48:16.000Nothing is too out there to be seriously considered.
00:48:19.000And I would actually say in a cycle like this, it's more plausible to believe that there is a conspiracy than that everything is as it seems.
00:48:30.000And to me, on a fundamental level, those are really the two competing worldviews.
00:48:34.000The two competing worldviews are not necessarily, was it the CIA or was it a lone gunman?
00:49:14.000You had an intelligence failure over the mail-in ballots.
00:49:18.000You had an intelligence failure over January 6th, where there was a stand-down order for Capitol Police that were requested but not delivered.
00:49:25.000You had an intelligence failure on the day of Trump's assassination.
00:49:29.000You had an intelligence failure on October 7th, which led to this endless campaign.
00:49:35.000You had an intelligence failure in February 2022, when they didn't believe that Putin would invade Ukraine.
00:49:42.000There was an intelligence failure surrounding whether Biden would be viable.
00:49:46.000That's a lot of intelligence failures.
00:49:48.000That's a lot of obvious things that were ignored by people that are supposedly a lot smarter than us.
00:49:56.000I'm a pretty smart guy, but I'm not credentialed, and I'm not a technocrat.
00:50:01.000And even I could tell you that there would have been, you know, potential for chaos on January 6th.
00:50:08.000Even I could have told you that Putin was serious about invading Ukraine, or that, based on the intelligence that was available to Mossad and the IDF, that there would be an attack from Hamas, or that someone would try to kill Trump, or that Biden wouldn't be viable.
00:50:24.000So, when you add all that together, it compounds, and you say it's very unlikely that nobody knows what's going on.
00:50:31.000So that that's kind of my first take is considering it's always important to consider the what-if In light of what actually is Okay, because if Trump had been killed it would be a much much stranger election And there's still four months between now and election day you have to wonder if something else is going to happen so anyway so Biden drops out and
00:50:56.000The other question is, clearly then, they are conceding that we have all been right for all this time, that Biden is actually not in charge.
00:51:05.000And there's something about this which I don't think is being driven home enough to the American people, which is that for four years, yes, the Biden administration has been failing.
00:51:18.000But it's not like things have totally gone off the rails.
00:53:30.000The federal departments and agencies, they all employ mostly the same people from one administration to the next.
00:53:38.000And the president only changes the cabinet at the very highest level, and there's turnover for about 4,000 or 5,000 federal employees.
00:53:46.000We already knew that, but now they're telling us, oh, it's a conspiracy theory.
00:53:50.000Well, now that Biden has dropped out, they've effectively conceding, yes, he's too retarded to run, he's too retarded to serve another term.
00:53:56.000They're conceding that he wasn't even really in power.
00:54:43.000Chips Act, everything else is very disturbing.
00:54:47.000That's my other big takeaway is, okay, so that's a pretty big concession.
00:54:52.000And the question then, I think the obvious next question is, why is he still the president now?
00:54:59.000If he's too retarded to debate, if he's too retarded to meet foreign leaders, if he's too retarded to carry on in the election, they know he wouldn't be able to stand up at the DNC or the second debate.
00:55:49.000Because of course the president's not just like a celebrity, the president's also the top of the chain of command of the military!
00:55:57.000The biggest military in the world, he sits at the top and has ultimate authority over the military.
00:56:05.000And they won't have him step down in that official role, which still carries with it authority, because they need to keep up appearances for the election.
00:56:20.000And they're very conscientious of what people see and what their response will be to what the news will bring.
00:56:29.000So it turns out the president really is a ceremonial role.
00:56:33.000If you could have somebody in there who isn't even mentally competent, you could have them in there for four years, you can even admit they're retarded, they'll still stay on.
00:58:05.000It's a completely opaque, incomprehensibly complex system.
00:58:10.000And that tells us this whole Biden withdrawal confirms that is the undemocratic, corporatist, technocratic system that we live under.
00:58:19.000This is, by the way, where Trump comes in.
00:58:22.000And that was initially the appeal of Trump, at least for a guy like me.
00:58:28.000It wasn't—and notice, none of this has anything to do with ideology.
00:58:33.000This has nothing to do with whether or not the president is tough on borders or ideologically opposed to immigration or socially liberal or conservative.
00:58:46.000The initial appeal of Trump is not that he was going to be a right-wing president, necessarily, or a conservative president, or whatever that means.
00:58:55.000The appeal of Trump is that he was going to fundamentally change that system.
00:59:01.000That is why Trump had a cult-like following.
00:59:04.000Because if you look at his rhetoric in 2016, he was talking like this.
00:59:08.000He said, if you look at the government,
00:59:11.000It's being run by lobbyists, donors, special interests, elite media.
00:59:16.000He said they are the real head of the snake, not the politicians.
00:59:19.000He said the politicians are puppets, and all the other elites are just pulling their strings.
00:59:25.000And he said that if he got in, he would change all of that.
00:59:31.000He would really be in charge, and we know that.
00:59:34.000And because he could cut all of that out, he could really do what's right.
00:59:38.000He could really just run the government competently.
00:59:42.000Less to do with ideology, more just we would get good government because we would have an accountable, personal dictatorship of Trump within the government.
00:59:51.000And people found that to be a terrifying proposition.
00:59:53.000I find what we currently have to be more terrifying.
00:59:57.000Because it's totally obscured by this web of private and public entities, money hidden in all these different kinds of ways.
01:00:10.000And so anyway, that's why it's such—not to bring it back to Trump, but that's why it's such a disappointment that Trump has changed his tune so much, because Trump initially was talking about this and running against this, and you'd think that would be a core part of the message now, but it isn't.
01:00:23.000It's all about, oh, the Biden-Harris economy sucks.
01:00:26.000It's like it does, but also, isn't this an appropriate time to talk about how now we all know that the president has no power, and isn't that kind of a problem?
01:00:36.000Doesn't that kind of strike at the heart of the legitimacy of the American government?
01:02:26.000They said it might be some dark horse like Joshua Shapiro from Pennsylvania or Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, they said was the favorite at one point not too long ago.
01:02:37.000But almost as soon as Joe Biden withdrew from the race, the entire party has now coalesced around Kamala.
01:02:45.000And I'll read off some of the endorsements here.
01:02:48.000She was immediately endorsed by Joe Biden.
01:02:51.000She was endorsed by Bill and Hillary Clinton.
01:03:13.000She was also endorsed by all of her would-be challengers, including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Governor J.B.
01:03:30.000Pritzker, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
01:03:50.000There are some people that didn't endorse her.
01:03:52.000Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and President Obama did not endorse Kamala Harris.
01:04:00.000Although some people say that's not necessarily because they're going to endorse somebody else.
01:04:06.000But rather it's out of respect for Joe Biden.
01:04:08.000Although I don't know if I necessarily believe that, but it was sort of interesting.
01:04:12.000A lot of people talked about in the past 24 hours how Barack and Michelle Obama did not endorse, and neither did Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
01:04:22.000And much has been made about this, and the media was very quick to say, oh no, that doesn't mean anything.
01:04:29.000Have you read any of the mainstream media?
01:04:31.000They all rush to say, oh, no, no, that doesn't mean that they don't support her.
01:04:36.000It just means that they're being respectful of Joe Biden.
01:04:39.000Yeah, maybe, but I don't know if I necessarily believe that.
01:04:44.000Nevertheless, the whole party has rallied, even the progressive wing, the head of the progressive caucus, AOC, Ilhan Omar, the squad, they've all endorsed Kamala Harris.
01:04:54.000Additionally, she has more delegates than anybody.
01:04:58.000So let's talk now a little bit about the process.
01:05:00.000There were a couple of outstanding questions.
01:05:03.000Aside from party support, let's say that's the biggest one.
01:05:08.000Now that Joe Biden has dropped out, the Democrats need another nominee.
01:05:13.000And at first, there were all sorts of questions.
01:05:14.000I remember a few weeks ago after the debate, everybody was saying, oh, they can't.
01:05:20.000Even if they wanted to make her the nominee, they couldn't.
01:07:42.000Now, Joe Biden has $92 million, and they just changed the name on the campaign committee to Kamala Harris for president, and now she's able to access that $92 million.
01:07:53.000Big question is, will she be able to access the $240 million that is within the Democrat coffers?
01:08:02.000Because ostensibly people donated that money with the understanding that Biden would be receiving it for his run.
01:08:08.000So the question is, can she use the Democrat war chest even though she is not the nominee that they voted for and donated to in the primaries?
01:08:21.000The FEC lawyers have said that since Kamala's name was on the ticket, that's actually the only reason that she'll be able to access the money.
01:08:30.000Because her name was on the ticket, she'll still be able to have it.
01:08:42.000It says Biden's campaign recently reported just more than $91 million cash on hand, but allied Democratic campaign committees brought the total at his disposal to more than $240 million.
01:08:53.000So it's $150 million on top of the $91 million.
01:08:58.000The Republican National Committee is already contemplating lawsuits related to the potential transfer, but the short answer, according to the FEC Commissioner, is yes, since Harris was already on the campaign's registration statement.
01:09:14.000He said, quote, it's very clear if Kamala Harris is the Democratic presidential nominee, she gets to use all the money in the account.
01:09:24.000The other question is with regard to delegates.
01:09:28.000So the way that a nominee is chosen, there is a primary that's held.
01:09:34.000And every state holds a primary contest.
01:09:37.000And every state, depending on the outcome of the election, will allocate their delegates to the winner of the contest.
01:09:46.000So, for example, in Illinois, they hold a vote.
01:09:50.000Whoever gets the most votes in Illinois, that's who gets the delegates that are allocated to Illinois.
01:09:56.000And a number of delegates are allocated based on the population of a state or a territory.
01:10:02.000Then at the convention, all of the over 4,000 delegates, including superdelegates also, convene at the convention and they formally vote.
01:10:13.000And some of the delegates are bound, they have to vote for the top vote-getter of their state, although in some states there's some wiggle room, they could massage it and say, well, we're going to vote for
01:10:34.000Now that Joe Biden has dropped out of the race, the question is, who will the delegates vote for?
01:10:39.000At the convention, the delegates, who are now unbound to the top vote-getter, which is Biden, who won all the delegates, now who will they vote for?
01:10:48.000Since the delegates are chosen by the Biden machine, they're loyal to Biden.
01:10:53.000Since Biden endorsed Kamala, they will probably vote for Kamala, although they don't necessarily have to.
01:11:00.000And so now, this is really the only outstanding question is how this convention will be held.
01:11:05.000It could be the case that all the delegates will be pledged to Kamala or the 1,900 that she needs, 1,700 that she needs.
01:11:51.000The requisite number of delegates do not pledge to Kamala before the convention, then it's an open convention.
01:11:59.000And then, theoretically, candidates would be vying for the delegates at the convention, trying to win, and successive ballots will be held until one candidate wins the majority of them.
01:12:14.000And the superdelegates come into play at the second ballot.
01:12:17.000So right now, Kamala is at 770 out of 1,986 delegates.
01:12:25.000And the states, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Alabama, and Wisconsin have all pledged their delegates to Kamala.
01:12:38.000So it looks like just 24 hours after Biden dropped out, she's basically got it.
01:13:17.000So it looks like, although we're not going to know until Wednesday,
01:13:21.000It looks like Kamala has the nomination on lock, but on Wednesday the Democratic Party is going to hold a meeting to determine the rules.
01:13:30.000We actually don't even know the rules yet, but on Wednesday the Democratic Party leadership will hold a formal and official meeting where they will decide the rules and then they will publish them.
01:13:41.000And then we'll know with a little bit more specificity how exactly it's going to play out because we don't know yet.
01:13:47.000There might be a virtual vote held before the convention.
01:15:27.000America wasn't ready for a white woman in 2016.
01:15:30.000Are they ready for a fake black woman in 2024?
01:15:34.000Some people are saying she has to buoy the ticket.
01:15:37.000She's got to balance it out with a white guy, probably from a swing state.
01:15:44.000Initially, they said Gretchen Whitmer would be at the top of the ticket.
01:15:46.000She's the governor from Michigan, but probably two females is not going to play, so I don't think it'll be her.
01:15:53.000Some people said Pete Buttigieg, but Buttigieg, even though he's got a Rust Belt appeal, he's gay.
01:15:59.000And so I don't know if an Indian-Jamaican woman and a gay guy is going to play, even if he's from the Rust Belt and is well-spoken.
01:16:09.000So I would say it's unlikely that it will be him.
01:16:11.000Also, he has no experience holding elected office on even a district-wide level, let alone statewide or national.
01:16:20.000So that would leave us with a few options from the swing states, like Joshua Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, Roy Cooper, the governor of North Carolina, and Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona.
01:16:33.000And so those are three statewide office holders, all white males, all have some conservative appeal.
01:16:40.000I would say it's less likely that it's Joshua Shapiro, because as they said on MSNBC, he is Jewish.
01:16:46.000And everybody was in and there was an uproar about it.
01:16:50.000They said, oh, they're saying being Jewish is a liability.
01:18:10.000I said maybe it's less likely than people think that he'll drop out only because he's the most viable candidate, even though he's retarded.
01:18:18.000And that's because he's a white male with blue collar union appeal.
01:18:25.000He's maybe the only guy left in the Democratic Party that can still win normal white voters.
01:18:31.000You put anybody else in there, Elizabeth Warren?
01:20:39.000This is the fatal error that Republicans made.
01:20:43.000I think that the Trump campaign was so confident, they started to get careless.
01:20:51.000They stopped playing for Pennsylvania, they stopped playing for Michigan, and they started playing for Minnesota, New Jersey, and Virginia.
01:21:03.000And I think their whole, excuse me, I think their whole convention, I think their messaging has been all about
01:21:10.000Turning out Hispanics and black people.
01:21:14.000Rather than playing to their base and getting their base to show up, rather than playing to white people and getting rural or high school educated white people to turn out, they said, we got them.
01:23:10.000I think that Trump is still the favorite.
01:23:13.000But we don't really know the dynamics of the race.
01:23:16.000I would say we have to wait another two weeks to see what the effect will be in the polling.
01:23:21.000And we have to see who their ticket is going to be.
01:23:26.000So we will see at the convention who the vice president will be, and we'll see what the polling looks like, and we'll see what the messaging looks like.
01:23:33.000I think that right now Trump is still by far the favorite, that's what the betting markets say too, but I would say that it's a little bit more tenuous than it was a few days ago.
01:23:45.000Now that they've got somebody, watch and you'll see Kamala will get a bump.
01:23:51.000There will be a relief, there will be this
01:23:54.000Mass exhale from the Democrats saying, phew, now we don't have to vote for Biden.
01:32:01.000And we're now just seeing the effects of it.
01:32:03.000All these things that are happening, these are just the effects.
01:32:06.000This is just where it crosses that threshold from their world into ours.
01:32:11.000So we're not seeing all the stuff that's happening below the surface.
01:32:15.000We only see the things that are so big, or the things that involve the public, where they cross that threshold into our world, into the matrix.
01:32:28.000And that's basically what's been happening.
01:32:29.000And I think there's going to be a lot more surprises in the next four months.
01:37:15.000Trump never attacked the far right in 2016.
01:37:20.000Whenever they called him a racist or whatever, he would just totally sidestep that.
01:37:25.000He said, oh, Project 2025, they're the radical right.
01:37:28.000They're severe conservatives, which is a Mitt Romney creation.
01:37:33.000He said, oh, you have the radical left and you have the radical right, and I don't know anything about it, and it's ridiculous.
01:37:42.000And you know what's so funny about that?
01:37:44.000In her first tweets after becoming the presumptive nominee, Kamala attacked him for Project 2025.
01:37:54.000She said, I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party and unite our nation to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.
01:38:10.000I'm so glad Donald Trump disavowed Project 2025.
01:38:14.000Now the left can never use that as ammunition against him.
01:38:18.000Phew, good thing he disavowed Project 2025.
01:38:21.000Now the left will never mention it again.
01:38:24.000Now that he totally threw his own people under the bus, now that he totally betrayed his loyalists and very conservative Republicans, oh, thank goodness, now Democrats can't use that to attack him.
01:39:16.000It's quite another thing to say, oh, but not them.
01:39:20.000Because it raises questions like, okay, so you're supposed to be a Republican, and yet Amber Rose, a porn star, is in your Big Ten, but not John McEntee?
01:42:05.000Nick, do you think Trump is so cucked that he is going to allow the plans to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman to go through or no?
01:45:17.000Like we actually need artists that are making good music and just like good, like people that are interested in art, people that are artistic.
01:45:27.000And like not just making rap songs about Roger Stone.
01:45:31.000Not doing songs about fucking Marjorie Taylor Greene.
01:46:32.000Because the alt-right was actually attracting people that were actually left-wing.
01:46:38.000Like they actually had like a left-wing disposition.
01:46:42.000And so you started to actually get real artists.
01:46:45.000And so people were making Vaporwave and people were making... And do you want to know why they're still using the Tron grid and the Sun and all of that?
01:46:57.000It's because we haven't come up with anything since.
01:47:00.000So now, like Jack Posobiec and, you know, whoever, whenever they start a podcast, when Matt Gaetz or Posobiec or one of these other jagoffs, whenever they start a podcast, it's the Tron grid and the rising sun.
01:57:02.000We must turn Russia into a desert populated by white Negroes upon whom we shall impose a tyranny such as the most terrible Eastern despots never dreamt of.
01:57:50.000Rover sent $7, first was sketch, now it's Chris from Mr. Beast that people are defending for very degenerate behavior with a kid, but Nick remember he was in a dark place at the time.
01:58:09.000That hiccup that they are all like freaks.
01:58:15.000You know, like Sketch was not only gay, he's like a porn star in lipstick.
01:58:20.000Chris from Mr. Beast is not only a tranny, he's also sending nudes to kids, allegedly.
02:00:39.000Are you like a, I'm like a anarcho-syndicalist with Maoist tendencies?
02:00:44.000Like, just stop with this political compass shit.
02:00:47.000It's always these like 19 year olds that for whatever, it's always like 19 year old debate club kids that hang out in Discord all day that are like, so what, what kind of ism are you?
02:01:29.000Okay, stop shilling your... ...fucking scam on here.
02:01:46.000Capital Pilot sent $10, sick of looking at Israeli flags at right wing events.
02:01:51.000Should GROWAPPERS be going to GOP, Turning Point, National Conservative etc events and deliberately standing in front of foreign flags and displaying the cross?
02:03:13.000Zionists that want to bomb Iran and these Silicon Valley technocrats that want to deregulate stablecoins and surveillance so that they can have this public-private panopticon dictatorship.
02:03:34.000No room anymore for Christians, social conservatives, cultural conservatism.
02:04:01.000Smug citizen sent $5, we were a few centimeters away from two milfy Indian women battling it out for the future of the most powerful nation to ever exist.
02:09:07.000You know, we don't... You actually... If you keep creating these spooks in your imagination of, I want it to be this way, I have an idea in my head of what it's gonna look like, you will always be disappointed.
02:09:22.000So it's just as simple as, every day we're alive, we have to struggle.
02:18:50.000Somebody, I saw Nate Hockman, Nate Hockman tweeted the other day, he's like, I'm with a nutritionist, she said seed oils are fine, does anyone have evidence otherwise?
02:18:59.000Not one person, not one person could give a solid answer.
02:19:30.000It's like there's like a whole class of people they must live on welfare or something because all they do is take pictures of themselves in the woods making ASMR cooking videos and fucking jacking off about all I eat is butter.
02:19:42.000All you need is a little bit of butter and a little bit of fuck.
02:22:41.000Remember a few months ago when Destiny said he would keep doing unhinted takes until everything he said couldn't be differentiated from his other takes slash fucked up ass and retarded shit he said?
02:24:21.000I'm an undomesticated, untamed, gnarly beast.
02:24:24.000And so, you know, women watch the show and then they hear, you know, everything's fine until they hear me joke about like killing women or putting a woman through a wall.
02:24:33.000I start swearing like crazy and then people go, oh my.
02:25:49.000You know, this show is two to three hours a night.
02:25:52.000Takes me an hour to get ready, takes me an hour on the other end of it, so the show is like five hours a day, and then I'm, you know, I'm doing stuff throughout the day also.
02:26:02.000I'm on Twitter, writing, reading, you know, making calls, so I'm really like never not working.
02:26:11.000Last time sent $5, you talked last week about infiltrating the GOP at the local level, would it be worth recruiting guys out of the Knights of Columbus or other Catholic groups with the young men?
02:26:22.000I think people should just get involved with the GOP.
02:26:24.000I think that, you know, problem with a lot of these Catholic guys is a lot of them are simps.
02:27:48.000You know, people, the idol worship of Trump, I love Trump, but he does have some deep blind spots and flaws, and he does bear responsibility for that.
02:28:20.000Leftists like Kyle Kulinski and others agree with you on Israel and likely Jewish power, but they're so spineless that they have to strawman your position to an absurd cartoonish level just so they can say that's why I don't agree with him.
02:28:45.000Texas sent $5, hey, watching from Poland.
02:28:49.000Considering Trump donated to Kamala Harris in 2011 don't you think he's just another liberal that is beef with the current liberal establishment?
