Joe Biden announces his intention to run for re-election in 2020. We discuss the similarities between Biden's announcement and Trump's response to the anti-abortion protest in DC. We also discuss the latest Trump indictment in Fulton County, Georgia, and the ongoing investigation into the Trump administration by the Department of Justice into possible obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice. And, of course, we talk about the Mar-A-Lago raid on Mar-a-Lago, and whether or not we should expect more indictments from the DOJ in the future. And we finish up the show with a special guest appearance from Tucker Carlson. Hosted by Nicholas J. Fuentes and Alex Blumberg.

00:01:52.000He will be running for re-election in 24.
00:01:56.000And he put out a pretty long video, I don't know, I think it was five minutes or something, and paralleled very closely I think his original announcement back in 2020.
00:02:07.000If you remember back in 2020 he released a similar video and the opening shot was Charlottesville.
00:02:46.000We'll also talk about Trump's response, which I really want to focus on the Trump response because
00:02:54.000I feel like we are headed towards defeat, and I think this is a sentiment which is shared by almost anybody who's not on the Trump camp, which is that unless we get really, really lucky, or unless something significant changes, we are most likely going to lose.
00:03:42.000It's valid because of circumstances which are real, which are different in this election than they were in 2016.
00:03:51.000So I want to talk specifically about that idea and some of the language on both sides, on the Biden side, on the Trump side, and get into what we can do about that.
00:04:03.000And I'd actually like to do something scholarly about that.
00:04:06.000I don't want to give any hints because I don't want anyone to steal my idea.
00:04:10.000But I have a sneaking suspicion that if you really did a rigorous look, if someone did a rigorous investigation into the Trump campaign in 16 and the Trump campaign in 2020 or even the rhetoric in this cycle in 24, I think you would see a noticeable difference.
00:05:05.000The Department of Justice says that they are preparing for a period in July and September when they will announce, potentially, charges against the former president in connection with the 2020 Stop the Steal effort in Georgia.
00:05:23.000And there's been a very widespread investigation into that conduct since 2021, where they say that Donald Trump made at least three improper phone calls to state government officials, and according to law enforcement, they say that he attempted to pressure state officials to manipulate the vote, or manipulate the outcome of the election, in an illegal way.
00:05:48.000So we may see additional charges that's on top of what has already been brought against him in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office this summer in Fulton County, Georgia.
00:05:59.000And as I said last night, that's without even getting into the actual January 6th event at the Capitol.
00:06:07.000And that's also without getting into the substance of the raid on Mar-a-Lago last summer, which is the classified documents at his private residence.
00:06:17.000So, and I said this last year, you've got at least five separate investigations into Donald Trump.
00:06:26.000We know already one of those there's been charges and that's the DA in Manhattan.
00:08:23.000But so I was very, over the last 24 hours, I was kind of like, huh, okay, good.
00:08:30.000Now this guy got his just desserts, but I have to say it still is a pretty big deal.
00:08:36.000It's pretty shocking and there's a part of me that understands where people are coming from where they say that it's a loss for him not to be on the network.
00:08:49.000I think that a lot of those connections that he's got are a really big red flag.
00:08:54.000I don't know how you dismiss any of that, to be honest with you.
00:08:59.000I know how that sounds, and I know how it looks, but there's so much smoke around him, there's got to be a fire.
00:09:09.000Nobody's dad is creating intelligence for the CIA, or propaganda rather, for 40 years and they just wind up in this very critical position at this critical juncture.
00:09:26.000And the other thing too is, I understand where people come from when they say, well he's better than Hannity, or he's better than whoever else is on Fox News, he's better than most,
00:09:39.000But I watch his show and it's pretty standard stuff.
00:09:45.000The big ticket items, the fundamental idea, multiracial working class populism.
00:11:18.000We covered it last night, but it's still such a big deal.
00:11:22.000I want to get into a couple of other things, too, before we get into the news.
00:11:26.000Apparently, big bombshell elsewhere in the conservative world, Steve Crowder going through a divorce.
00:11:32.000I put this on my Telegram channel, and I'm not going to be disrespectful towards him personally.
00:11:39.000He's been very rude to me in the past, and he's treated me unfairly.
00:11:42.000I'm not going to attack the guy for being divorced.
00:11:45.000But it was really interesting, because he said on his show that apparently he's been going through a divorce for the last two years, but just never said anything about it to protect his kids, which I can respect.
00:12:00.000But he said something really interesting in the clip.
00:12:03.000Not the one that I posted, but the full clip.
00:12:05.000I think there's a five minute clip on Twitter.
00:12:07.000Where he, the whole time that he talks about the divorce on his most recent show.
00:12:15.000And he said that because my initial reaction is, oh wow, another real conservative getting divorced.
00:12:22.000Because divorce is one of the worst things that you can do.
00:12:26.000It's one of the most anti-conservative, anti-traditional, immoral things that you can do.
00:12:35.000One of the first red pills that I figured out as a young man is that so much is going wrong in the society because the family is being ripped apart in every way.
00:12:51.000Their complementarity, which is to say the way in which they complement each other, their temperament, their physicality, their societal role, that is being confused and distorted and changed.
00:13:06.000They're being ripped apart because society is disintegrated.
00:13:09.000They're not getting together anymore in public spaces or elsewhere.
00:13:15.000And what's more is the marriage itself is under attack with this divorce.
00:13:20.000And the biggest problem with that is that this is going to harm the children.
00:13:26.000And the children grow up and they become messed up.
00:13:29.000And this is a problem which ripples across the generations.
00:13:32.000What a lot of people think is harmless, and in this day and age, a no-brainer, hey, if it's not working out, just go your separate ways.
00:13:42.000In reality, it is damaging first and foremost to children.
00:13:47.000It's the unseen effect is that the children become totally stunted and suffer and they're miserable and they carry that with them the rest of their lives and they impose that on the next generation and
00:14:02.000Those effects are felt across the entire society.
00:14:05.000So, my first reaction is, here it is, another conservative that got divorced, but he said something interesting.
00:14:13.000He said that his views on divorce haven't changed.
00:14:16.000His view on marriage and family hasn't changed.
00:14:35.000Apparently he tried to salvage the marriage, but the wife wants to leave and so he's reluctantly going along with the divorce that the state is permitting.
00:14:46.000And what's interesting about this, I thought of this contrast.
00:14:51.000Yesterday I saw a clip where Tucker is being interviewed by Charlie Kirk and his audience to the young people
00:15:00.000is get married young have more kids than you can afford that was literally the message he's telling Charlie Kirk and the question was something like what's your message to the young people watching this he said get married too young have more kids than you can afford
00:15:18.000And on this show, you know that I'm absolutely in favor of marriage.
00:15:23.000You know that I think that that is the life choice and the lifestyle that is going to be the most fulfilling thing that a person will do for 99 or 98% of people that are watching this or that are alive.
00:15:39.000I say, though, that there are serious pitfalls.
00:17:07.000And it's unrelenting and constant against them, too.
00:17:11.000And so what tends to happen is that over a long period of time, marriage is a long period of time.
00:17:19.000For most people, it's the longest commitment they are in in their lives, statistically speaking.
00:17:25.000It's longer than a mortgage, it's longer than your education, it's longer than your career, it's longer than even you have your kids in your house.
00:17:32.000And of course it predates the having of children, or at least it should.
00:17:37.000Marriage is a long time, and if you've got these two things going against you, which is that the law will facilitate its dissolution at any time for any reason, and two, you've got this relentless onslaught, this relentless siege against you, your wife, and everyone you know, what are the odds
00:18:01.000That one day, or one time, 10 years, 15, 20, 30 years down the road, it doesn't prevail over one of the partners.
00:18:09.000It doesn't prevail over your wife's best friend, or your wife's parents, or your parents, or someone else in your immediate orbit, if not your wife herself.
00:18:23.000And, I've said this on my show, and I take this from Andrew Anglin.
00:18:29.000You look at extremely high profile people who get divorced, like Brad Pitt, or Vladimir Putin, or Donald Trump, or Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk, and people like to tell themselves, well, my marriage won't dissolve.
00:18:54.000You're not as powerful as Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump.
00:18:58.000You're not as talented as some other major artist.
00:19:03.000So, in other words, if you have this idea that people get divorced because the husband wasn't doing a good enough job, what could you possibly do a better job at in any arena than extremely famous, wealthy, good-looking, talented people have going for them?
00:19:25.000And then people say, well, they weren't religious.
00:19:29.000I will be Christian and I will pick a Christian woman.
00:19:33.000And if I am strong, and rich, and hardworking, and talented, and I take care of myself, and I go to the gym, and if I'm a pious Christian, and if I pick a pious Christian woman, then my marriage won't dissolve.
00:19:50.000But then you look at somebody like Stephen Crowder.
00:20:27.000And unfortunately, in this day and age, you cannot prevent your wife or your kids from being influenced by this pernicious, all-consuming culture.
00:20:52.000You get married, and in this day and age, because of the legal system and because of the culture, there is a high percentage chance that your wife will divorce you.
00:23:44.000If a guy like Steven Crowder can't keep his wife, and he's in the conservative media landscape, and if people get regularly divorced in conservative politics all the time, what chance do you stand out there on the farm, or in the country, or wherever you are, however much you think you're getting away,
00:24:11.000Because as long as technology is ubiquitous, then media and entertainment will be ubiquitous.
00:24:17.000And therefore the propaganda will be just as unrelenting and constant as it is anywhere in the country.
00:24:25.000And as long as people are going to be leaving with an automobile, they're going to be driving outside of the house or outside of the town, they're going to encounter other people in the workforce, in the school, somewhere else, who they are subject to the propaganda just as constantly and relentlessly as anybody else.
00:24:49.000And all that this says is that we have to fight.
00:24:54.000We cannot retreat because you can't get away.
00:25:02.000The only way that you could is if you tricked your family into thinking the apocalypse happened and you moved underground into like a missile silo.
00:25:12.000And you ran some kind of patriarchal cult.
00:25:15.000And you said to your kids, like, you can't go outside!
00:26:02.000That's the nature of what we're trying to accomplish.
00:26:07.000Or you'll have to just flee the country and give it up.
00:26:11.000But I think that people don't want to do that for obvious reasons.
00:26:16.000So, that's my reflection on this Crowder clip.
00:26:18.000It was a very interesting thing because
00:26:22.000People have this idea that we don't have to fight, that we can take our ball and go home, that we can insulate ourselves, that we have a shelter that we could go to, and people might say various things about the particulars of this situation.
00:26:39.000Unfortunately, these pressures don't just go away.
00:26:41.000You can hide from them, but they don't go away.
00:29:09.000I haven't talked about this on my show in a long time.
00:29:14.000A lot of people in conservative media still do.
00:29:17.000But I remember the narrative in 2020 or 2021 was that Biden was dying, or better yet that he had already died, and that any existing footage of him was a deepfake or AI manipulated, which there may be some truth to that to be honest with you.
00:29:36.000But I remember the narrative years ago was that he's not even going to make it through his first term.
00:29:41.000He's going to die in office or he's going to get impeached, better yet, because he's dying.
00:29:47.000Even if he didn't die, people said the Democrats were setting him up to be removed from office because he is dying but he refuses to resign.
00:29:59.000And it's 2023 and there is no legitimate challenger against Biden.
00:30:06.000So far that's going to pose a real challenge to him and he has announced that he's running for office and he appears to have support from the Democrat Party.
00:30:36.000Judgment completely here, but outside of those admittedly unlikely possibilities, it appears that Biden is going to be the nominee.
00:30:47.000He's leading in the polls in the Democrat field without really too many other Democrats announcing the next highest
00:30:56.000percentage support is Kamala and Buttigieg, who are both part of the Biden administration, and most others haven't even announced a run themselves, like Klobuchar.
00:31:06.000So, it looks like 2024, again, barring any major developments based on what we know now, is going to be Trump versus Biden all over again, which is not really what a lot of Trump supporters were expecting a few years ago.
00:31:23.000And I have to say I was one of the people that was saying that Biden is dead and he's gonna die and he's not gonna make it.
00:31:31.000And don't get me wrong, he's certainly not well, but he's 80 years old.
00:31:36.000He's an 80 year old man who's the President of the United States.
00:33:14.000We knew immediately after the Dobbs decision in June 2022 that they were going to play on anxiety about so-called women's reproductive decisions for the midterms.
00:33:27.000And we know they're going to run with that in 2024.
00:33:29.000So there was a heaping helping of that in there.
00:33:33.000And there was also, which is peculiar, this talk about Republicans cutting Social Security, which I don't know that I've heard any Republicans talk about cutting Social Security.
00:33:44.000Biden mentioned this at the State of the Union and Republicans heckled him for that.
00:34:06.000So clearly that's going to be a part of it, too.
00:34:09.000And this is very strategic, by the way.
00:34:12.000Hitting anxiety on those two things is meant to turn out women and the elderly.
00:34:21.000So it's very calculated, very strategic.
00:34:23.000When he says that the Republicans are going to take your abortion, look, I hate abortion, I'm Catholic, you know that, but it is true that across the board, the Dobbs decision is hurting Republicans electorally.
00:34:37.000Without any judgment on how we should act in the face of this and how we go forward in that climate, it's just true.
00:34:47.000That that decision has turned a lot of women into Democrats if you look at the midterms and if you look at some other elections which have happened since the midterms.
00:34:59.000And that's why the Democrats play it up so much.
00:35:03.000And so they're pushing that to turn out the women against the Republicans, and they're pushing the cut on Social Security to turn out the seniors and the elderly against the Republicans, which is a classic.
00:35:24.000You can actually trace this all the way back to a speech that Hillary Clinton gave in August 2016.
00:35:31.000This was a landmark speech that not a lot of people talk about.
00:35:37.000I've talked about it for a long time, but nobody else does.
00:35:41.000In August 2016, in the Trump-Clinton election, Hillary Clinton gave a speech, Chelsea Clinton was there, about the alt-right.
00:35:50.000It was the first time I think she named the alt-right.
00:35:54.000And she said in that speech that Vladimir Putin was the grand godfather of the alt-right.
00:35:59.000And I forget all the people she named in there, if she named anybody at all, but we know she was talking about Donald Trump and Breitbart and the trolls on 4chan, the so-called meme veterans and that sort of thing.
00:36:13.000And that's been a very consistent narrative, that's been a consistent strain all throughout, which is to paint Trump as a pariah in America, and also within his own party.
00:36:26.000To differentiate Trump from the conservatives, or to differentiate Trump from the Republican Party.
00:36:32.000It's to say that you've got a Republican Party, but this is new, this is different, this is more extreme.
00:36:38.000This is perhaps corrupt and involved in foreign corruption, like with Russia.
00:36:44.000And so that's the first time we heard something like this was August 16 and then there was Charlottesville and they played into that and Biden's announcement in 2019 which I think was in January 2019 was about Charlottesville.
00:37:00.000At that time, Charlottesville was a year and a half old.
00:37:03.000And Biden's announcement in 2019 was about how Trump said there were fine people on both sides and that the country was under attack by white nationalists.
00:37:12.000And then he gave that very famous speech a year ago with the blood red.
00:37:46.000We just want to be normal, and then you have all these guys, and you have this madhouse over here.
00:37:52.000And I think that's meant to create anxiety in the minds of normal people, which is to say that whatever message that Trump has, it's more trouble than it's worth.
00:38:02.000Is that whatever Trump is bringing to the table, even if he's right about things, even if you agree with him on some things, the circus that he brings into our lives is not worth the trouble.
00:39:14.000Do you want what Trump has, which is this craziness and instability and this endless assault by the media and this terror, which the left was largely responsible for?
00:39:27.000But they said, do you want all this unrelenting negativity or do you want not that?
00:39:33.000Do you want to go back to not having that?
00:39:36.000And people said, now I think that Trump won, but a lot of people said, I don't want that anymore.
00:39:41.000And I think that the Capitol is a big part of this narrative.
00:39:45.000A lot of people look at January 6th, I think a lot of normal people look at January 6th, without knowing all the relevant facts, and they say, if it's between a bad president and maniacs and hooligans sieging the Capitol, we want the bad president.
00:40:05.000Bad order over the disorder that Trump brings or that the warfare between Trump and the establishment brings.
00:40:13.000And here we're setting up again with a new dialectic, although it's similar to the old one, where Biden is saying again, hey I'm for freedom.
00:40:22.000I want to protect Social Security, and I want people to love who they want to love, and I want women to be able to get abortions, and I want to have jobs, and we're America, and we can all come together.
00:40:34.000And the other guy's a maniac and an extremist, and they're blowing stuff up.
00:40:41.000And so this is a story from Russia Today about Trump's announcement.
00:40:44.000The Biden message is pretty much the same.
00:41:04.000This is Trump's response from Russia Today.
00:41:07.000It's his quote in a new campaign video released after Joe Biden formally announced his re-election bid.
00:41:13.000Former President Trump accused Biden of a litany of failures from opening the U.S.
00:41:17.000border with Mexico to leading the world to the brink of World War III.
00:41:21.000Biden formally entered the 2024 race on Tuesday saying in a campaign video that he needs four more years to finish the job and restore the soul of America.
00:41:31.000Within hours, Trump issued a response.
00:41:35.000He said, quote, you could take the five worst presidents in American history and put them together and they would not have done the damage Joe Biden has done to our nation.
00:41:44.000The former president cited the, quote, worst inflation in half a century, a 24 month streak of declining real wages and rising gasoline prices, homelessness and crime as examples of Biden's calamitous and failed presidency.
00:41:59.000Trump accused Biden of weaponizing law enforcement to punish his supporters and claimed that the president's deference to transgender activists has led children to being indoctrinated and mutilated by left-wing freaks and zealots.
00:42:13.000Trump has hammered Biden on these issues before and on matters of foreign policy.
00:42:19.000He declared that Russia is teaming up with China, Iran is days away from a nuclear bomb, and Ukraine has been devastated by an invasion that would never have happened if I was president.
00:42:29.000He said, it's almost inconceivable that Biden would even think of running for re-election.
00:42:34.000There has never been a greater contrast between two successive administrations in all of American history.
00:42:39.000Ours being greatness and theirs being failure.
00:42:43.000And so I see this response and you've got a problem.
00:42:49.000Because you have these two campaigns and they have their policies and they have their messaging.
00:42:59.000But a campaign also has a central idea.
00:43:03.000Even if it's not said explicitly, each campaign, in the minds of the voters, it has a central idea, it has a central premise.
00:43:53.000So, in this message you've got, well, the Biden administration is terrible, Biden's a terrible president, he did a bad job, and Trump did a good job, and he's being unfairly picked on.
00:44:04.000And so the central idea revolves around comparing and contrasting Trump and Biden as presidents,
00:44:11.000Focusing on the legacies of both, and very negative on the Biden presidency.
00:44:16.000And then there's also, at the same time, this narrative which is really more for the base, which is about how we're in this struggle, and we're being picked on, and we are being discriminated against.
00:44:28.000These two narratives, in my opinion, these two ideas, are just tedious.
00:44:32.000Like, I read this stuff from Trump, and I don't even read it.
00:44:36.000I skim it, I look over it, but it doesn't resonate
00:44:40.000Do you have that feeling when you watch these Trump speeches that you walk away with nothing?
00:44:43.000That your eyes glaze over when he talks about the issues?
00:46:31.000He spoke to this idea of unfairness for the average person.
00:46:34.000Not for himself as a guy, but for the average person.
00:46:38.000To the loss of prestige of America in the world.
00:46:42.000And he talked about how it was the fault of the system, that the system was corrupt.
00:46:47.000It was also a message, and this is another key insight which people do not understand, is that the Trump message, although it was called negative in 2016, was actually very positive.
00:47:10.000And it's very different than convention, which is to say, the best days are ahead, and the best is yet to come, and good day sunshine.
00:47:20.000And it's true that there was an element of the messaging which is darker than any other president, because he said things like, the American dream is dead.
00:47:30.000And he said things like, we don't win anymore.
00:47:37.000But it was also extremely positive because there was this coupling where he said that although things are terrible, they don't need to be.
00:47:47.000Because, and he had this great line in the announcement speech, which I love, he said that we're holding all the cards, we just don't know how to play them.
00:47:56.000He said that we need a cheerleader, our country can be great, we have the ability, and I've said this, make America great again, it's a three-parter, but in the messages, it's possible.
00:48:08.000With the right leadership, if you support me, I'll do it.
00:48:11.000I will literally take America and make it great.
00:48:15.000Which implies, it presupposes that we are not past the point of no return, that this is not a hopeless situation, that all that is required
00:48:26.000is the right outcome in this election, and I will do it.
00:48:30.000Because I can do it, because I'm competent, because I'm rich, because I have the right mindset, because our country is rich, because we have all the tools.
00:48:39.000And so there was this optimism that even though things are bad, even though they're worse than ever, well, it's actually a really good thing, because we can flip the script, and we can change it, we can make it all better.
00:48:54.000And we're part of the movement that's going to save the country.
00:49:24.000When the youth leader, the youth leader for the Trump movement, because he's involved with Students for Trump and Turning Points and extension of that, when the youth leader of the Trump thing says, yeah, we're gonna lose probably, and everybody agrees, there's thousands of replies saying, yep, the people are demoralized, the leadership's demoralized, we're losing, we know we're losing, and there's no
00:49:50.000There's no signal that we're getting out of it.
00:49:53.000There's no message of how or how we're going to get out of it or that we can get out of it.
00:50:00.000And there's this relentless wallowing in defeat.
00:51:34.000And we're just reading along knowing how this is going to end, knowing the twist, and yet we just keep reading from the script and reading our lines and doing the things in the script on our inevitable
00:51:49.000And all that is required is to just stop saying the lines and doing the things in the script.
00:51:53.000Which is that Trump cannot run as Republican.
00:52:45.000Because if they did, Trump would have won overwhelmingly in 2020 and the fraud wouldn't have mattered.
00:52:51.000And they would have voted overwhelmingly for Republicans in the midterms.
00:52:55.000But we've got a large number of voters that are just going to vote for Democrats no matter what.
00:53:00.000And there's a large number of people that won't vote for Republicans because they just don't like this hassle.
00:53:06.000So you can try and convince people that Trump is, like, a better president, but you're never gonna win that argument, because Trump is not a good president.
00:53:18.000So in other words, he's not going to win as Trump, the president who is better than Biden.
00:53:23.000I don't think anybody even noticed the Trump years versus the Biden years.
00:53:27.000And anything that they do notice, it's either marginal, or they don't really blame Biden, or they don't think Trump can fix it, or they blame on the pandemic and other assorted problems.
00:53:39.000So this narrative about, well, Biden's a bad president.
00:54:05.000Because Biden's a bad president because inflation's bad or something.
00:54:09.000You don't vote for the guy that refused to accept the outcome of the election and sent his supporters into the Capitol and all the other hassle because he's going to bring unemployment down a little.
00:54:20.000Like that means very little to most people.
00:54:24.000So what he needs is a better central idea.
00:54:28.000Which is that we can win this, we can turn the country around.
00:54:32.000I said it during his rally, the biggest problem he has going for him is that all he seems to do is relive the fact that we're screwed.
00:54:41.000If the election's rigged, and if law enforcement is our enemy, and you have no ideas on how to counter that, then, like,
00:54:50.000We're just talking about how we're all losing, right?
00:54:54.000If you go up there at every rally and say the election's rigged, we can't win elections, and law enforcement's rigged, we're all going to jail.
00:55:19.000We just got to vote harder to overcome all that.
00:55:25.000So all this talk about Biden and the Biden government and the Biden policies in the last four years and this talk about how it's so unfair and everything's rigged, it's just negativity and it's not even funny or exciting or fresh.
00:55:42.000It's just tedious and partisan and negative
00:55:48.000And that people are not afraid of Trump anymore, like I'm talking about there are people that are now unafraid to embrace Trump in the mainstream like these guys on YouTube.
00:56:01.000And they go, Trump's actually not so bad.
00:56:06.000That just goes to show he's become like this defanged old guy who's going around and people just feel sorry for him, actually.
00:56:13.000They're not like, oh my gosh, Trump is gonna take away all our rights.
00:56:17.000They're sort of like, aw, this poor old guy.
00:59:04.000He tried he failed we lost And we're just waiting for the next shoe to drop which is for him to lose and then not be able to run again in four years And I'll probably throw him in jail.
00:59:13.000That's what everybody's waiting for and they're waiting to see if he'll be able to pull it out one more time and He still could But it's up to him Because man I read this stuff and it's it's different it's brutal and
00:59:33.000Four years ago it felt like, and we did, we won, it felt inevitable that we would win against all odds, and then we did.
00:59:40.000And I'm a big believer that Trump was inevitably going to win that election because of the feeling.
00:59:55.000Now he's just another, he's a better than average politician.
01:00:03.000And these little throwaway lines he does at the rally that people eat up, or these little policy videos that people go, ooh, that's interesting.
01:00:16.000people, they come in there and they're like, I think the people get excited about this policy video where he talked about this, that, and the other.
01:00:24.000I quite like the speech when he said this part.
01:00:28.000I mean, people still love the idea of Trump.
01:03:09.000If you're an outsider, revolutionary, insurgent, you need to have a bigger message than like, inflation's gonna go down, gas prices will go down.
01:04:25.000You go there now, they have roads, bridges, schools.
01:04:28.000They have bridges that make George Washington Bridge look like small potatoes and they're everywhere.
01:04:33.000We have all the cards, but we don't know how to use them.
01:04:35.000We don't even know that we have the cards because our leaders don't understand the game.
01:04:40.000We could turn off that spigot by charging them tax until they behave properly.
01:04:54.000He said... Let's see, here's another section.
01:05:02.000He said, I would call up the head of Ford, who I know, if I was president, I'd say, congratulations, I understand you're building a car factory in Mexico and you're going to take your cars and sell them to the United States, zero tax, flow them across the border.
01:05:16.000And you say to yourself, how does that help us?
01:05:47.000They know it's not a good thing and they may even be upset by it.
01:05:50.000But then they're going to get a call from the donors or from the lobbyists for Ford and say, you can't do that to Ford because Ford takes care of me and I take care of you and you can't do that to Ford.
01:10:59.000Literally, beef sandwich, beef sandwich, hot dog, hot dog, McDonald's, McDonald's.
01:11:05.000And I, you know, yesterday I went out and I got a prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwich, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, good stuff.
01:13:44.000Yeah, it would depend on what they wanted to do that day, and I couldn't figure out, like, I couldn't get into a rhythm of it, and they kept changing what they wanted to do, like what time, when to come in, what the thing was, what the job was, what the this, the that, you know, and if you text me at 11 o'clock at night to write something, I'm gonna be up until 1, maybe 2 writing it.
01:14:06.000If you text me at 6 o'clock and you want me there at 7, well, I need to write it, so I'm not gonna get there until 8.15, but I don't go live until 9.15.
01:15:06.000But it was always, for somebody who always uses the term moving the goalpost, that's how it became.
01:15:12.000So we began touring together and yes, it was very good money and I paid Matt very well, but it always became something where nothing feels good, even if you're making money, if you're being treated like you don't deserve it.
01:15:52.000So this is the producer of the Crowder show complaining about Crowder I Don't really understand the relevance here I
01:16:14.000Let's see, there's two sides to every story, but I 100% believe Dave on this Daily Wire thing seemed good at first, but once he rolled out the new show and have all the comedian spots instead of helping smaller content creators, I knew it was bullcrap.
01:20:04.000Hey Nick, it was my birthday a few days ago, and I sent a super chat, but you were doing a Twitter space that day, so here's another birthday super chat.
01:20:14.000I'm 21 now, my days as a young guy are over.
01:26:49.000Married young thing is a meme to protect against heartbreak people need to get with clergy as a couple and discern the vocation slash sacrament of marriage plus living sacramental life to start.
01:27:15.000A good friend of mine got married recently and he's very Catholic and he went through like a year-long class and this whole thing.
01:27:26.000I had no idea it was even such a protracted process but how many people do you know that go through all that?
01:27:33.000Some people they get married before they're even confirmed and then they wonder.
01:27:37.000And it's not to say that it doesn't happen
01:27:42.000At all, even if you do go through that process, but it is to say that people just want to... people just want to... It's not about the sacrament, it's about they just want to get their rocks off or live with their girlfriend.
01:32:59.000I love that I've post ironically, like ironically but also kind of unironically created this dynamic where people feel like they have to give me lots of money.
01:33:29.000Even though we don't always agree on everything, that's a great thing about this country is that people can disagree and we can have conversations.
01:35:54.000AFPAC is we go out there, we present our showcase, we deliver our message, we create a network, we push the Overton window, we do activities, but maybe more than anything, we're hanging out, we're having a good time.
01:36:12.000And that's what helps us get through it.
01:36:14.000It's not to say that that's the purpose of it, but that's what helps us get through it.
01:40:19.000White Monster says, I could see Agent Carlson being assigned to do a frat-style conservative media outlet like the barstool of right-wing politics and in large part to combat the stranglehold they have on the Zoomer, right?
