America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Live Primary Coverage with Jazzhands McFeels, Bryden, and Nick | America First Ep. 188

00:00:04.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:05.000 We're watching America First.

00:00:07.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:08.000 We've got a great show for you tonight.

00:00:11.000 Packed show.

00:00:12.000 It's been a packed content week, actually.

00:00:15.000 If you have been keeping up with the premium content, we had a big podcast just debuted today.

00:00:22.000 World Report released our seventh episode, our foreign affairs podcast, of course.

00:00:28.000 We talked about Turkey today.

00:00:30.000 So it's a very interesting episode.

00:00:32.000 If you're not signed up already for America First Premium, you're really missing out on.

00:00:36.000 The best content.

00:00:37.000 You know, I throw the slop together for the feeding trough of America first, but really, the high quality stuff, really the gold standard, that's going to be the premium content.

00:00:49.000 So it was a fantastic show this morning on World Report.

00:00:54.000 We talked all about Turkey and President Erdogan, who was reelected yesterday, and really some startling things about Turkey.

00:01:03.000 A lot of parallels between the United States and Turkey, and a lot of parallels between Turkey, China, and Russia.

00:01:08.000 So it was.

00:01:10.000 All encompassing.

00:01:11.000 It's pretty good stuff, pretty keynote stuff.

00:01:14.000 But of course, we have a banging, a pretty smashing, bitching episode of America First tonight.

00:01:21.000 It's a regular show, and then at 8 o'clock, so in an hour, we'll be bringing on Jazz Hands McFeals and Bryden from Right to Bryden to commentate on some live primary coverage.

00:01:35.000 So tonight we've got, and I finally committed them all to memory, we've got Oklahoma.

00:01:41.000 New York, Maryland, Colorado.

00:01:44.000 They will all be having, oh, and Utah.

00:01:46.000 Utah, Maryland, New York, Colorado, and I'm missing one on the other side.

00:01:52.000 Well, you get the picture.

00:01:53.000 It's a lot of states in the primary tonight, so I'll be covering all those, particularly a few key races we're going to be looking at.

00:02:02.000 Those are the primaries, and there's two runoffs, runoffs in Mississippi and in South Carolina.

00:02:07.000 So the main races we're going to be looking at are the 11th congressional district in New York.

00:02:13.000 Which is Staten Island, the Republican primary there.

00:02:16.000 We're going to be looking at the South Carolina gubernatorial primary.

00:02:20.000 We're going to be looking at the Maryland governor primary, the gubernatorial primary there.

00:02:25.000 We're going to be looking at a few different congressional races.

00:02:27.000 Just generally, I'm sure Bryden and McPhiles will bring some.

00:02:31.000 We're going to be looking at the Senate race between Mitt Romney and Mike Kennedy in Utah.

00:02:38.000 And I think I might be leaving out a few, but it's a bunch of races.

00:02:41.000 It's going to be a lot of fun, and we'll be starting that at 8 o'clock.

00:02:43.000 But in the meantime, we've got a big show. 0.99

00:02:46.000 We're going to be talking about the Muslim ban. 1.00

00:02:49.000 Well, I wish it was a Muslim ban. 1.00

00:02:50.000 It's not. 0.98

00:02:51.000 And that's why it got cleared in the Supreme Court today, 5 4.

00:02:57.000 The Supreme Court upheld President Trump's third travel ban.

00:03:00.000 He went through a first one, I think, in like February.

00:03:03.000 There was a second iteration of it not too long after.

00:03:07.000 Both struck down in the circuit courts.

00:03:09.000 He came out with a third, much more limited travel ban in September of last year.

00:03:15.000 That got shut down in several different circuit courts.

00:03:19.000 In October, but by December, he came to the Supreme Court.

00:03:21.000 They let it go through.

00:03:23.000 They let the law go into place, the executive order go into action while they litigated it, and today they allowed it to become law.

00:03:31.000 It's legitimate, it was declared constitutional.

00:03:34.000 It's technically not law because the president can't make law, but you get the picture.

00:03:37.000 So we're going to be talking about that.

00:03:39.000 We're also going to get to the red hen situation.

00:03:41.000 We didn't get to cover it last night, regrettably.

00:03:44.000 We were too busy bashing immigrants, too busy throwing up the big X for xenophobia.

00:03:49.000 Keep them out! 0.97

00:03:51.000 Out!

00:03:52.000 So we were doing a lot of that last night. 0.95

00:03:54.000 So we'll get to Miss Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Nielsen, two fine ladies in peril.

00:04:00.000 And I got a white knight for him, folks.

00:04:03.000 I got to put on the armor and go defend the honorable women of the Trump administration.

00:04:08.000 So it's a packed show.

00:04:09.000 You know, I'm wearing a new suit tonight.

00:04:11.000 Well, it's not new, but I'm wearing a different suit tonight.

00:04:13.000 Usually I wear my light blue one.

00:04:16.000 And I got to say, you tell me. 0.99

00:04:18.000 There's this girl on Twitter.

00:04:19.000 Okay. 1.00

00:04:20.000 She looks like she has fetal alcohol syndrome.

00:04:22.000 All right.

00:04:23.000 And she's telling me my suit doesn't fit right because I was putting up the whiteboard.

00:04:28.000 And I guess it was like a little bit unadjusted because I was holding something up.

00:04:31.000 I was a little bit discombobulated.

00:04:34.000 And so she tweeted that I was wearing like shoulder pads or something.

00:04:37.000 And you know what? 0.99

00:04:38.000 She can make fun of my outfit. 0.97

00:04:39.000 She can say all that. 1.00

00:04:40.000 But my message to her is you should stop sleeping with all the people in the alt right, whore, because it's catching up to you. 1.00

00:04:47.000 You're going to have to get bullied off the internet again. 1.00

00:04:49.000 So I don't know.

00:04:50.000 You tell me.

00:04:51.000 Tell me in the live chat.

00:04:52.000 Is my suit fitting right?

00:04:54.000 I went very insecure about this because, you know, I'm not a wealthy guy.

00:04:59.000 People always tweet at me like I'm this privileged white male.

00:05:02.000 First of all, I'm none of the above.

00:05:04.000 I'm actually.

00:05:06.000 African and Mexican.

00:05:07.000 I mean, like 2% African, 15% Mexican.

00:05:11.000 So it's very rude when people refer to me as white.

00:05:14.000 I am Latins.

00:05:15.000 And also, they refer to me as privileged.

00:05:17.000 I'm not privileged.

00:05:18.000 I'm dirt poor.

00:05:19.000 You know, I'm very not well off, just joking.

00:05:22.000 But I am.

00:05:23.000 I'm not rich by any stretch.

00:05:25.000 And male, I think you could also say I'm gender confused.

00:05:29.000 You know, I think I'm considering ghost boy, you know, that gender. 0.56

00:05:33.000 Have you ever heard that? 1.00

00:05:34.000 That's a legitimate one.

00:05:35.000 And there's some others out there that, you know, some days I just feel like it.

00:05:37.000 So.

00:05:39.000 But people are always attacking me sometimes for the outfit, for the attire.

00:05:42.000 It's something that really hits home.

00:05:44.000 It's a big insecurity for me.

00:05:45.000 So, hitting back on what's her name? 1.00

00:05:50.000 She has a five head, and she looks like she was born with birth defects. 1.00

00:05:55.000 So, I think it's fair to say who won that round, right?

00:05:58.000 But anyway, we're going to get into the issues tonight.

00:06:02.000 It's going to be a great time. 1.00

00:06:03.000 We're talking about the Muslim ban, my favorite subject. 1.00

00:06:06.000 Well, I keep referring to it that way because it's quicker. 0.98

00:06:09.000 It's quicker to say Muslim ban, but it's not a Muslim ban. 1.00

00:06:12.000 And I wish it was. 0.98

00:06:14.000 You know, I remember I was out there.

00:06:16.000 The first travel ban came down in February.

00:06:19.000 It was an executive order and it banned temporarily.

00:06:23.000 Okay, you got to remember, folks, what he promised in 2015, November or December 2015, when he said Donald Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

00:06:34.000 What actually became actualized in the travel ban was nothing close to a blanket ban on Muslims.

00:06:40.000 You know, they make it out like he said, if you're Muslim, you can't come in, like nothing close to that.

00:06:46.000 It was a list of seven countries. 0.66

00:06:48.000 It was, I remember all the seven off the top of my head.

00:06:52.000 One of them got eliminated. 1.00

00:06:53.000 I think it was Iraq.

00:06:55.000 Let me pull it up in my notes here.

00:06:57.000 So it was people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.

00:07:03.000 Those were the Muslim countries.

00:07:04.000 But it also banned people from Venezuela and North Korea.

00:07:07.000 And I think Iraq was on the first list as well.

00:07:11.000 And so the first travel ban comes down.

00:07:12.000 It says these people are banned temporarily.

00:07:15.000 It said they were banned for, and depending on the country, depending on the type of visa.

00:07:19.000 Between 90 and 120 days.

00:07:21.000 And the purpose of it was vetting.

00:07:24.000 If you remember, it didn't say you can't come in forever or you can't come in in perpetuity.

00:07:29.000 It said we won't issue new visas.

00:07:31.000 It won't allow people to come into the country until this period has passed and we can properly review the vetting procedures.

00:07:40.000 So all it's saying is that Libya, Iran, these other countries, they're not properly making sure that the people coming from their country to our country are clear that they're safe, that they're okay. 0.99

00:07:51.000 They're good eggs.

00:07:52.000 They're not the poisonous eggs.

00:07:54.000 So, I think that's completely reasonable, even to a Democrat. 0.93

00:07:57.000 Hey, you know, all these countries that are mired in war and terrorism and Islamism, why don't we just check and make sure we know who these people are? 0.99

00:08:04.000 Let's just do a little evaluation of what the process looks like. 0.95

00:08:08.000 No, no, it's a Muslim ban. 0.99

00:08:09.000 I remember I went to a protest and two lesbians came up to me.

00:08:13.000 I guess they're real because they were there, right?

00:08:16.000 Everybody's giving me a lot of flack for the lesbian comment. 0.98

00:08:18.000 I'm sticking to my guns on that one, all right? 1.00

00:08:21.000 But these two lesbians came up to me at the no ban, no wall protest last year. 1.00

00:08:26.000 At Boston University, I was in. 1.00

00:08:28.000 We didn't have like a quad.

00:08:29.000 We had, what do they call it?

00:08:30.000 It was like Marsh Plaza or something right in front of the Marsh Chapel.

00:08:36.000 And so I went out in the middle there, and they're all, you know, they're doing their rallies. 0.72

00:08:39.000 Some Muslim kid leading the rally with a bullhorn.

00:08:41.000 I come out with my flag, my sweatshirt, my hat, and I'm just, you know, I'm just there waving the flag. 1.00

00:08:46.000 And these two lesbians get right up in my face. 1.00

00:08:48.000 They're yelling at me, they're screaming, throwing up the finger. 1.00

00:08:51.000 Some obnoxious homosexuals filming me in the background. 1.00

00:08:54.000 Like, I'm embarrassed, right? 1.00

00:08:55.000 Like, I show up to this public rally because I'm afraid. 0.76

00:08:58.000 And then the one girl snatches the hat off my head.

00:09:00.000 The other one grabs the flag. 1.00

00:09:02.000 I chase them both down.

00:09:04.000 I'm able to recover the flag. 0.86

00:09:05.000 The other girl, she's got the hat.

00:09:07.000 Well, I grab her.

00:09:09.000 Well, I very gently chase her over to the garbage cans and I kind of give her a little bit of a shove because, you know, I have to protect my property. 1.00

00:09:17.000 Normally, under no circumstances, but also a lesbian. 1.00

00:09:20.000 So can we really say she's a woman? 1.00

00:09:22.000 I give her a little bit of a shove, but it was too late. 1.00

00:09:22.000 So I grab her. 1.00

00:09:25.000 She throws it in the garbage can. 0.87

00:09:27.000 And it's one of those garbage cans where.

00:09:29.000 You can't access it.

00:09:30.000 It's not like one of the ones where you can just kind of stick your hand in or you go through the little thing.

00:09:35.000 It's like you got to unlock a cabinet, open it up.

00:09:38.000 So I had to go wait like an hour for the custodian to come in.

00:09:42.000 He opens it up, and this custodian actually comes up to me.

00:09:44.000 He's like, You know, I'm actually with you.

00:09:45.000 This stuff's BS.

00:09:46.000 We love Trump.

00:09:47.000 Anyway.

00:09:48.000 But so I was there, and people are losing their minds over something that's totally reasonable.

00:09:51.000 That was the first iteration.

00:09:53.000 The second one was watered down.

00:09:54.000 The third one was even more watered down than that.

00:09:57.000 And to give you a brief timeline of this so the third one comes out in September.

00:10:01.000 October, the circuit courts shut it down.

00:10:04.000 And now, today, in a 5 4 decision, the Supreme Court upholds the constitutionality of the ban.

00:10:12.000 And this was very crucial.

00:10:13.000 It wasn't really a sweeping decision by any stretch.

00:10:16.000 If you read how they interpreted it, the reason that the lower courts shut it down was because they said that when Trump said we should ban all Muslims, that served as enough evidence that the ban on five Muslim majority countries was based on prejudice, which is.

00:10:36.000 Crazy to me, right?

00:10:37.000 Like, we can ban immigration from dangerous countries, but not if it's because we associate the danger with the people who are the cause of the danger, right? 0.91

00:10:46.000 No, no, no. 0.99

00:10:47.000 You can only ban immigration from Muslim countries if you're demonstrating that it's because of terrorism and not because they subscribe to the religion that's causing all the terrorism, right? 1.00

00:10:58.000 Goofy stuff. 0.92

00:10:59.000 So, the argument was in the lower courts, this is why it got shut down in the circuit courts and the appellate courts, was because they said, When Trump said that he was going to ban Muslims, that constituted prejudice, therefore, it's violating constitutional rights and all the rest.

00:11:14.000 In the decision, which was written by Chief Justice Roberts, they said that it did not constitute discrimination.

00:11:22.000 It was squarely within, this is his own word, squarely within the jurisdiction of the president.

00:11:27.000 I'll read it actually, the direct quote, because I have it in front of me.

00:11:31.000 Justice Roberts wrote The proclamation is expressly premised on legitimate purposes, preventing entry of nationals.

00:11:38.000 Cannot adequately be vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices.

00:11:43.000 The text says nothing about religion, but it should be about religion.

00:11:47.000 You know, this was my battle cry during the travel ban.

00:11:50.000 Now that it's been approved, and this is really the first iteration, I'm going to get to the consequences of this decision, which can be pretty big. 1.00

00:11:59.000 But for starters, it should have been a ban on Muslims. 0.77

00:12:01.000 Why should this be wrong? 1.00

00:12:02.000 You know, we talked about this yesterday.

00:12:04.000 This has to be driven home. 1.00

00:12:06.000 Non citizens do not have rights in this country. 1.00

00:12:10.000 They don't. 1.00

00:12:11.000 Maybe they have human rights.

00:12:13.000 Oh, spare me the waterworks, please, with this.

00:12:17.000 Oh, well, they have. 1.00

00:12:18.000 Under the Atlantic Charter, under the UN Charter, they have human rights, which are healthcare and education for girls and all this gay stuff. 1.00

00:12:27.000 I'm sorry, that's not true. 1.00

00:12:29.000 The only rights that we have in the United States are God given.

00:12:33.000 The Declaration of Independence acknowledges that we are given rights by God, they are enshrined in the Constitution, but they are for citizens.

00:12:42.000 They are for citizens of the United States, not for illegals, not for non citizens.

00:12:46.000 And this isn't complicated stuff, folks. 0.94

00:12:49.000 You have somebody who comes into the country. 0.99

00:12:51.000 And they're illegal. 1.00

00:12:52.000 Or you have somebody who wants to come into the country. 1.00

00:12:54.000 There's no difference. 1.00

00:12:55.000 They're not of the country, they're not citizens of the country. 0.95

00:12:59.000 So, just the same that we can't give First Amendment rights to people in Uganda, you know, we can't go over into Uganda and say, hey, folks, it's not totally free over here in terms of speech and you're taking guns. 0.95

00:13:11.000 What's that all about?

00:13:12.000 We can't go into their sovereign land over their people, sovereignty over their people, and give them rights.

00:13:19.000 In the same way, if they come over here and they don't fill out the paperwork, you don't have any rights.

00:13:24.000 So, all these people saying we can't discriminate on the basis of religion, we can't discriminate on the basis of any other category.

00:13:30.000 Wrong.

00:13:31.000 Wrong.

00:13:32.000 We absolutely have to discriminate.

00:13:34.000 And that sounds bad because discrimination is a loaded word.

00:13:38.000 You know, when we hear discrimination, what's the first thing that pops into a low IQ person's head?

00:13:43.000 Jim Crow. 0.82

00:13:44.000 Discriminating against black people because of the color of skin, it's KKK all over again.

00:13:50.000 Discrimination is a very simple word. 0.75

00:13:53.000 To discriminate means simply to discriminate.

00:13:56.000 To judge, to be judging.

00:13:58.000 You know, in the same way that you are discriminating when you go fruit shopping, you know, when you look at apples and some apples have lots of bruises and are discolored, well, you're discriminating in your judgment of the apples.

00:14:11.000 We want a golden delicious that's shiny, it's ripe, it's red, it doesn't have bruises.

00:14:15.000 We're going to be discriminating in our judgment.

00:14:18.000 When we make any consumer choice, when we make any choice in general, we are discriminating.

00:14:23.000 This happens all the time.

00:14:24.000 And it's not necessarily a bad thing.

00:14:26.000 It can be a bad thing if you're discriminating because of.

00:14:29.000 You know, on an individual level, if you were to say, you know, I can't be friends with that person because he's black or Muslim, on an individual level, I think that's wrong.

00:14:38.000 I do think that's wrong. 0.95

00:14:40.000 But as a society, we're not dealing with individuals.

00:14:44.000 When we're talking about people that are coming from another place, we're not talking about every individual.

00:14:48.000 We can't judge every individual on a case by case basis.

00:14:52.000 We don't have the infrastructure, we don't have the intelligence to do that.

00:14:55.000 And by which I mean, we don't have the data.

00:15:00.000 I don't mean like we're not smart enough.

00:15:01.000 And this has been.

00:15:02.000 Reiterated by the Greek government, this has been reiterated by the German government, just about every CIA, every major intelligence agency, and every major government who's handled this migration problem has said, We cannot properly vet these people.

00:15:16.000 They have no documentation.

00:15:17.000 We don't know.

00:15:18.000 And so, a state, which is making decisions for the society, has to judge based on generalizations, based on majorities, based on statistics.

00:15:29.000 So, while I would never say that we should discriminate against a Muslim in an individual case where we would treat somebody differently because of something.

00:15:36.000 I'm personally against that. 1.00

00:15:37.000 But as a nation, you have to do that.

00:15:41.000 You have to do that.

00:15:42.000 We see that in immigration from Mexico.

00:15:44.000 We see that in immigration or visas from the Middle East. 0.86

00:15:47.000 If people are coming over from the Middle East and you have, for example, in Syria, 20% of Syrians are sympathetic to ISIS, why would we bring in any of them? 0.53

00:15:58.000 If we bring in five, statistically speaking, one of them is a supporter of ISIS.

00:16:02.000 I don't want to bring in anybody who supports ISIS.

00:16:04.000 If you bring in one person who kills an American citizen, I mean, that alone is unacceptable.

00:16:11.000 I would go to great lengths if. 1.00

00:16:13.000 If we would prevent the death of one American citizen by banning all Muslims, we should ban all Muslims. 1.00

00:16:19.000 Because you know what? 1.00

00:16:20.000 The state is tasked with protecting American lives, not with making sure that other people in other countries are comfortable.

00:16:27.000 And that's what it comes down to. 0.67

00:16:30.000 Muslims in other countries can go to countries near those countries.

00:16:34.000 If you're in Syria, you can go to Turkey. 0.91

00:16:36.000 You'll be fine. 0.90

00:16:37.000 If you're in Syria, you could go to Jordan.

00:16:40.000 They're running out of resources, but to an extent, you'll be fine. 1.00

00:16:42.000 Hey, why isn't Israel accepting any of them, right?

00:16:45.000 Or why isn't Saudi Arabia accepting any of them?

00:16:48.000 But they go through Turkey, they go through Eastern Europe, and they go to Germany where they can get better stuff, where they can get free stuff.

00:16:56.000 They don't go to a country that speaks their language, that practices their religion, that looks like their country.

00:17:01.000 They come all the way to the United States where they don't speak the language, it's unfamiliar, all the rest. 0.75

00:17:05.000 So they could get better stuff. 1.00

00:17:07.000 So if we ban all Muslims, what we're in effect doing is saying, yeah, you can't be comfortable over here. 1.00

00:17:12.000 And that is always 10 out of 10 times worth protecting one American life, which is the jurisdiction of the American government. 1.00

00:17:21.000 In the first place, it's not a Muslim ban, but it absolutely should be. 1.00

00:17:27.000 You know, maybe you have some kind of rules, maybe you have some kind of exceptions, but by and large, we don't need them in our country. 1.00

00:17:35.000 Why would we bring them in?

00:17:37.000 Their worldview is antithetical to the Constitution. 0.99

00:17:40.000 And by the way, another Semitic religion might also be antithetical to our worldview. 0.97

00:17:43.000 Who knows? 0.96

00:17:44.000 I mean, our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence, is based on Christianity, based on Christ, not this Judeo Christian stuff, based on Christ. 0.95

00:17:52.000 Why bring in people? 0.61

00:17:54.000 That are going to cause friction?

00:17:55.000 Why bring in people who are going to constantly chafe, who are going to be uncomfortable, demand accommodation?

00:18:00.000 Why would we do that? 0.92

00:18:02.000 Are they really making it that better in Germany? 0.76

00:18:04.000 It would be one thing if they came over and all of a sudden life dramatically improved.

00:18:09.000 Like, whoa, those Muslims in Germany, like they're so talented and nice and they're giving everybody baskets of goodies that, wow, like they're so friendly. 1.00

00:18:19.000 But we see what they bring terrorism, they bring gang rape, they bring crimes. 1.00

00:18:25.000 That's not all of them, but it's a lot of them.

00:18:27.000 So, why would we bring in something that has a negative externality so they could feel better?

00:18:32.000 Sorry, we don't need any of that.

00:18:34.000 We've got enough of that.

00:18:35.000 We've had enough of that for a long time.

00:18:38.000 We don't want your problems.

00:18:39.000 We've got enough problems.

00:18:41.000 We're done taking people in. 1.00

00:18:42.000 So, the Muslim ban should have been a Muslim ban, but it's good that it got affirmed as constitutional because what we saw in this decision was kind of a narrow scope in terms of the ruling, but what it does in a broad sense is it reaffirms the President's very strong powers on immigration. 0.90

00:19:02.000 This is a big step because the biggest impediment to immigration reform has been the fact that the president cannot properly exercise his authority on this issue. 0.87

00:19:13.000 If you read the Constitution, if you read the Immigration Nationality Act, the president has a wide, wide scope in terms of how he can change immigration rules and laws and enforcement and all the rest.

00:19:25.000 The reason he hasn't been able to do that is because every time he puts down an executive order, every time he tries to go to the Congress, we see.

00:19:34.000 The other two branches intercede.

00:19:36.000 Either a circuit judge in Hawaii, okay, you know, like they have to deal with our problems over there on the beaches, you know, they're going to intercede and essentially veto it for a short period of time, or the Congress is going to do what they always do, cuck, compromise, water it down, and then we get the Paul Ryan bill.

00:19:53.000 So the biggest impediment to immigration reform has been that Donald Trump's hands have been tied.

00:19:57.000 That's not an excuse.

00:19:58.000 That is simply the reality.

00:20:00.000 And so now that there has at least been some foundation laid, some precedent that the court, Is affirming the president's authority to act on immigration, maybe it could lead to better things.

00:20:11.000 I'm not saying it's a certainty.

00:20:13.000 I'm not saying we could interpret this ruling for future rulings because, you know, changing up the illegal immigration system is going to be very different than the travel ban.

00:20:22.000 But nevertheless, it's a good precedent to set.

00:20:24.000 It's significant in that this is, it goes to show that the courts can be beat.

00:20:29.000 It's long, it's arduous, it's a process, it's a big, like, frustrating obstacle, but it can be beaten.

00:20:37.000 And when it gets to the Supreme Court, the system does work.

00:20:40.000 When we get our justices in there, if we get another vacancy, if that'll be Ginsburg who dies, or that'll be somebody else who retires, we'll be able to fill it with another far right guy.

00:20:48.000 We redefined the courts for a generation.

00:20:50.000 And then we've got not one, but two branches working in our favor.

00:20:54.000 And that allows us to browbeat the Congress.

00:20:56.000 So I think we're in a pretty good spot with this ruling.

00:20:59.000 I'm pretty happy with it.

00:21:00.000 It's not, you know, it's not obviously ideal, but we have to have a sense of proportion and have a little perspective of where we came from.

00:21:07.000 You know, we went from how could we accept.

00:21:10.000 As many bad people as possible.

00:21:13.000 How can we take all the world's like trash on trash day and just dump it out into your neighborhood? 0.97

00:21:20.000 You know, we're the garbage truck.

00:21:22.000 We go from nation to nation, Syria, Mexico, El Salvador. 1.00

00:21:26.000 We pick up the dumpster, you know, all the banana peels, rotten shit, and throw it into our dump truck. 0.99

00:21:31.000 And then we drive it right into the heart of middle America. 0.99

00:21:35.000 Just dump it all out, you know, into your schools, in your neighborhoods, in some cases in your backyard.

00:21:41.000 You know, here, here, this is really. 0.99

00:21:43.000 This is, these are the new Americans. 0.89

00:21:44.000 This is the refuse, you know? 0.98

00:21:46.000 It's not all of them, but, you know, this is basically the program.

00:21:49.000 They're not sending their best, folks.

00:21:51.000 And so we had a problem where we said, how can we become the, how can we become a landfill, basically?

00:21:56.000 How can we become a human landfill and attract, you know, like that Lazarus poem, Lazarus poem, really actualize it? 0.99

00:22:04.000 Let's bring in the tired, the poor, the hungry, the sick, the dirty, the gross, the slimy, the dumb. 0.99

00:22:11.000 Let's just bring them all in and, you know, It'll be, I don't know, that'll be a good thing. 0.99

00:22:17.000 It went from that for 25 years to this administration, which said, stop, no, stop that, no more of that.

00:22:23.000 So once you understand that we've got 25 years of momentum in one very bad direction, it's going to take a little bit of a period to halt that.

00:22:33.000 You know, it's like Mr. Incredible stopping a train or a bus.

00:22:37.000 You know, it's got, we have to have a little period where we first have to halt the momentum of this runaway train in favor of open borders, mass immigration. 0.96

00:22:47.000 Multiracial population replacement, all the rest, and then get it going in the other direction. 0.93

00:22:51.000 It's happening, folks. 0.99

00:22:52.000 You just got to be patient.

00:22:54.000 You got to trust the process.

00:22:56.000 God's plan, folks.

00:22:58.000 So it was a big, big win on the travel ban.

00:23:01.000 It's kind of old news. 0.94

00:23:02.000 I feel like going after Muslims is so 2016, you know, so 2015. 1.00

00:23:08.000 Of course, the real problem is not the Muslims, it's the people bringing the Muslims, right? 1.00

00:23:13.000 You know, Muslims are going to be Muslims. 1.00

00:23:14.000 Can we really blame them? 0.89

00:23:15.000 I can't blame them, you know. 1.00

00:23:17.000 If they want to blow each other up in the Middle East, by all means, go right ahead. 1.00

00:23:22.000 Let the boys be boys, kind of thing. 1.00

00:23:23.000 But who looks at the situation over there, evaluates it, and says, we could use some of that in our.

00:23:31.000 We don't have enough of decapitations, bus bombings.

00:23:34.000 We don't have enough of that.

00:23:36.000 Let's pick the, you know, these people have a certain nature.

00:23:38.000 They have had it for thousands of years.

00:23:41.000 Let's scoop them up where they were not a threat.

00:23:43.000 And, uh oh, now there's a little suspense on your morning commute.

00:23:47.000 What's in that guy's bag?

00:23:48.000 I don't know.

00:23:49.000 Are you a racist? 0.99

00:23:50.000 No, he's a Muslim. 1.00

00:23:51.000 He's actually got a bomb. 1.00

00:23:52.000 So, I mean, it's at a little bit of a danger element.

00:23:55.000 But we got to stop that momentum.

00:23:55.000 I don't know.

00:23:59.000 We got to get it going in the other direction.

00:24:00.000 So, a big win on that.

00:24:02.000 The other thing I want to talk about here.

00:24:05.000 And this is a big thing that I really wanted to talk about yesterday, but I did not get a chance at all.

00:24:10.000 Also, before we get into this, there was another Supreme Court ruling on abortion.

00:24:17.000 There was a Supreme Court ruling, another 5 4 decision today, which decided against a California law, which said basically that anti abortion clinics for birth things, I don't know all the particulars of it, but it basically said that if you're not an abortion center, you no longer have to advertise for abortion centers.

00:24:37.000 Where if you went in and it was like a pro life, Family planning center or medical thing, whatever.

00:24:43.000 And the argument of the other side said, oh, well, it's not a real medical place.

00:24:47.000 They're kind of like not telling you that they're pro life.

00:24:50.000 But the law mandated that they basically advertise abortion, that they say, oh, you know, you could do it the right way.

00:24:55.000 You could do it congruent with God and life, but also you could always get an abortion as well.

00:25:00.000 So the Supreme Court overturned that law.

00:25:02.000 It's a big win for the pro life lobby, or pro lifers in general.

00:25:07.000 Big one for life, big one for babies that you don't want to see killed.

00:25:10.000 You know, I saw an article the other day.

00:25:13.000 I don't have the link on me right now.

00:25:14.000 I can't, you know, give it to you right now.

00:25:16.000 But somebody shared it with me on Discord.

00:25:20.000 There was this article talking about the most common kind of abortion where they, and I've never really thought about this too much.

00:25:27.000 I mean, I basically knew this in the back of my head.

00:25:29.000 But the most common form of abortion is the babies inside the uterus.

00:25:34.000 They go in there with the force of they break off the leg, they break off the other leg.

00:25:40.000 They tear the baby limb from limb out of the mother's womb. 0.77

00:25:44.000 Then they take out its intestines.

00:25:46.000 Then it's still beating heart.

00:25:47.000 And then they take out, they crush the skull.

00:25:50.000 The brain oozes out.

00:25:51.000 And then they take that.

00:25:52.000 I mean, can you believe that?

00:25:53.000 That happens?

00:25:55.000 It's been kind of a funny show so far, but that's not funny.

00:25:57.000 That's not cool.

00:25:58.000 And then there was another form of abortion.

00:26:01.000 What is it called? 0.78

00:26:02.000 Partial birth abortion. 1.00

00:26:03.000 This one's illegal now.

00:26:04.000 I guess it still happens, though, if you cross the border or something.

00:26:07.000 It was ruled illegal in 2002 by the Supreme Court where.

00:26:12.000 What they do is they drag the baby's body out so that the baby's just kind of hanging out with the head still in.

00:26:18.000 Then they go in, puncture the baby's head with the scissors, suction the brain out, and then they evacuate it.

00:26:25.000 And that to me is just how can you have a society that endorses that?

00:26:30.000 To me, if that goes on, everything else doesn't matter. 0.55

00:26:34.000 I would rather live in a country that is poor, that has nothing, maybe even you have crime, but that doesn't have abortion.

00:26:43.000 Because, I mean, that's just not civilization.

00:26:45.000 You know, they say that we're somehow modern.

00:26:47.000 They say this is progress.

00:26:49.000 How is that progress?

00:26:50.000 You know, maybe 100 years ago, we didn't have cars with like a GPS built in and Siri and all that, but we weren't massacring babies.

00:26:59.000 There were more abortions in New York than there were live births.

00:27:02.000 So, you know, get that in your head.

00:27:04.000 That's the silent genocide that's going on, worse than any genocide in human history in terms of numbers and significance.

00:27:10.000 So, to me, that's just got to be, you know, that's got to be done away with.

00:27:14.000 That didn't used to be.

00:27:16.000 A big issue for me until I really, you know, I was always against it because I'm pro life, but I mean, once you see like a visualization of that, you just can't get that out of your head.

00:27:26.000 I can't imagine how people can do this, you know, abortionists in real life.

00:27:30.000 I see a diagram of it and it's reprehensible.

00:27:33.000 But on a lighter note, on a lighter note, we got to get to this other topic, which I want to talk about, which is the left.

00:27:42.000 The real Nazis are out there again, being their usual tolerant selves.

00:27:46.000 Am I right?

00:27:48.000 Not so tolerant anymore, huh? 0.88

00:27:50.000 These Democrats being real nasty to Republicans.

00:27:52.000 They say they're tolerant. 0.84

00:27:54.000 Not really, though.

00:27:56.000 And I know that's pretty groundbreaking stuff. 0.99

00:27:58.000 But of course, we had Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

00:28:01.000 This was on Friday. 1.00

00:28:03.000 She got kicked out of a red hen restaurant in rural Virginia because she worked in the Trump administration.

00:28:09.000 And this is so typical.

00:28:11.000 She's in rural Virginia.

00:28:11.000 She's having dinner with her family.

00:28:13.000 They're having a good time. 0.99

00:28:15.000 And a gay waiter goes up to the chef. 0.99

00:28:18.000 And they're like, oh my God, you know, the fascists are in town. 0.99

00:28:20.000 They call up the manager.

00:28:21.000 They say, what are we going to do?

00:28:22.000 Manager says, you got to kick them out. 0.88

00:28:24.000 So the manager comes down, pulls Sarah Huckabee Sanders aside, interrupts her lunch. 0.50

00:28:28.000 She's like, can I speak with you for a minute? 0.82

00:28:30.000 She goes out on the patio and she says, you know, basically, you got to get out of my restaurant. 1.00

00:28:35.000 And so, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, she's a class act.

00:28:37.000 I'm always surprised by her. 0.99

00:28:38.000 She is a credit to her gender. 1.00

00:28:41.000 You know, because time and time again on the show, we attack thoughts, we attack thoughtery. 1.00

00:28:45.000 It's never anti woman, it's always anti degeneracy. 0.71

00:28:48.000 But, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, there's something to be said about the way she conducts herself.

00:28:52.000 She at once is graceful, but she's also very tough, very good at what she does.

00:28:56.000 So, I really like her. 0.99

00:28:58.000 She's very classy, according to the manager.

00:29:01.000 Sarah Huckabee Sanders says, okay, we'll leave then. 0.94

00:29:03.000 So, she just gets out.

00:29:04.000 She tweets out a very classy message.

00:29:06.000 So, I was just kicked out, but they have a right to do that effectively, and she's been very cool about it.

00:29:13.000 And of course, this was not the newest thing that happened. 0.85

00:29:16.000 You also had the DHS Secretary Nielsen, who got booed out of a Mexican restaurant.

00:29:22.000 I think Stephen Miller, the same thing happened to him earlier this month.

00:29:26.000 But basically, people are being harassed all over the place. 0.69

00:29:28.000 They're having gay parades in front of Mike Pence's house to make him mad or something. 0.59

00:29:33.000 I don't really know what the motivation is there. 0.54

00:29:35.000 And then this was the big, this is when it really came to a head and became kind of a You know, when the Democrats really owned this.

00:29:41.000 I mean, you could say before it's kind of out of their control, whatever.

00:29:45.000 But Maxine Waters, who's a big time representative, big time congresswoman, you know, that shouldn't really be a word, but she says, quote, if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them.

00:30:01.000 You tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.

00:30:04.000 And Trump responded by saying, quote, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, Has become together with Nancy Pelosi, the face of the Democrat Party.

00:30:15.000 She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement.

00:30:20.000 Be careful what you wish for, Max.

00:30:23.000 And so this has been the conversation this idea of Democrats going after targeting members of the cabinet and also supporters.

00:30:31.000 And all of this happens in the shadow of Steve Scalise, who was shot at a baseball game last year.

00:30:37.000 You know, you got to think.

00:30:39.000 And it's such a tired point to make nowadays, but.

00:30:43.000 I mean, you really got to think about this, folks. 0.95

00:30:46.000 Imagine if this had been the other way around that some crazy alt right guy, you know, some crazy white nationalist went to a baseball game and shot a Democrat, you know, and they were like a big racist or something. 0.99

00:31:00.000 And they said, Donald Trump said that the Democrats are fake news or that the Democrats are obstructionists, so I killed them. 0.99

00:31:07.000 You know, could you imagine? 0.97

00:31:09.000 They would never let us live that down.

00:31:11.000 We'd be talking about it until the end of time, until kingdom come.

00:31:14.000 It'd be on every news channel.

00:31:16.000 It would be six months.

00:31:16.000 It would determine the next election and the one after that.

00:31:19.000 With Steve Scalise, the person who killed him was somebody who was radicalized by the mainstream media.

00:31:24.000 Somebody who, of course, and you have all kinds of people like this in a country of 330 million who sit all day watching television hearing this kind of stuff that the government is illegitimate, that a foreign country controls our president, that a foreign country stole an election, we're being taken over by a tyrannical dictatorship slowly but surely.

00:31:46.000 And they're creating these kinds of people.

00:31:47.000 You know, God knows how many others there are out there that haven't attempted it or have yet to attempt it.

00:31:53.000 And this happens because the media has radicalized people and it's nobody talks.

00:31:57.000 Nobody talks about this kind of stuff that happens.

00:31:57.000 About it.

00:31:59.000 If it were any other way around, you know, if it were like a Cracker Barrel, or as they call it in the South, Cracker Barrel, I say that endearingly.

00:32:09.000 I like Cracker Barrel.

00:32:10.000 You know what I don't like about Cracker Barrel, though?

00:32:12.000 The general store, okay?

00:32:14.000 I like the biscuits and gravy.

00:32:15.000 I'm not going to pretend it's like great food or anything.

00:32:17.000 So it's good.

00:32:18.000 You know, it's not, it's like fast food.

00:32:20.000 It's good.

00:32:20.000 I like it.

00:32:21.000 I like it a lot.

00:32:22.000 But I go to Cracker Barrel and they have the general store.

00:32:25.000 Come on. 0.88

00:32:26.000 It's like so tacky, so goofy.

00:32:28.000 To me, I am just so not a fan of that kind of.

00:32:31.000 Thing.

00:32:32.000 I get the small town feel.

00:32:33.000 It would be fine if you just subtracted all the kitschy, goofy stuff.

00:32:37.000 Are you a restaurant?

00:32:38.000 Are you a store?

00:32:39.000 Figure it out, folks.

00:32:40.000 I'm there for biscuits and gravy.

00:32:42.000 I'm not trying to find my way through a maze of postcards and stuffed animals trying to find the restaurant. 0.99

00:32:49.000 Anyway, if a cracker barrel somebody discriminated against, like Barack Obama was like, you're black, get out of here. 1.00

00:32:57.000 You're part of the Muslim socialist regime. 1.00

00:32:59.000 Yeah, get out. 1.00

00:33:01.000 Could you imagine?

00:33:02.000 The uproar, if something like that happened to Loretta Lynch or Eric Holder, you would never hear the end of it.

00:33:08.000 But I want to kind of challenge your notions about this kind of thing.

00:33:12.000 We can all agree.

00:33:14.000 We can all agree this is bad.

00:33:15.000 We can all agree this is not consistent with American principles.

00:33:18.000 It's not right that this happens.

00:33:20.000 We should be able to disagree, but also have services. 0.90

00:33:24.000 And we can agree it's hypocritical because, of course, the other Supreme Court case that just came down was on gay bakeries or gay people going to bakeries, where it's like you can't discriminate against homosexuals because. 0.99

00:33:35.000 You know, you gotta bake the cake, dummy, whitey. 0.98

00:33:40.000 But now, when it's a Trump administration official, you know, they don't have to serve them. 0.99

00:33:44.000 They can actually kick them out for no other reason than they disagree with their politics.

00:33:48.000 And so we could say all of this is basically bad.

00:33:50.000 We can look at that.

00:33:50.000 I think that's a first reaction.

00:33:52.000 This is bad.

00:33:52.000 This is not good.

00:33:54.000 Most people are upset by this.

00:33:56.000 And many people say, well, how can we fix this?

00:33:58.000 We gotta have civility, we gotta have conversation.

00:34:01.000 And we have to think strategically, folks.

00:34:03.000 We have to think about things through to their logical conclusions.

00:34:06.000 This is how political people have to think.

00:34:09.000 When you're talking about historical forces and people, let's pursue option one.

00:34:16.000 We embrace civility, we have a civil discourse.

00:34:19.000 I rebrand the show instead of hot headed, cocky political commentator owns the libs to the conversation show where I bring on liberals and everyone gets a fair shot and we just exchange ideas and everybody's happy.

00:34:33.000 We could do that.

00:34:34.000 And let's say that works out.

00:34:36.000 Let's say the Democrats are nice, they stop doing this.

00:34:39.000 Well, what happens?

00:34:40.000 We put a band aid on a much larger problem.

00:34:42.000 They still hate us. 0.95

00:34:43.000 They still want to kill us. 0.99

00:34:44.000 Their policies are going to kill us. 0.69

00:34:47.000 And guess what you've just done?

00:34:48.000 You've made Democrats as palatable as Republicans. 0.99

00:34:51.000 You've made them on this, you know, whereas at least now you could say, well, I don't agree with the Republicans, but the Democrats are nuts. 0.54

00:34:57.000 Now you could say, well, they're both basically civil.

00:34:59.000 They're both basically doing the right thing, but I agree more with the Democrats.

00:35:03.000 That's a bad option.

00:35:04.000 That's a bad option where we shore up a situation that is not good for us.

00:35:09.000 We're coming in and saying, can we?

00:35:10.000 Please salvage the situation where we're losing, we're on a losing trajectory.

00:35:15.000 The other conclusion, the other avenue you might draw is like, let's say this keeps happening.

00:35:20.000 Let's say it gets worse.

00:35:22.000 What if there's leftist violence in the streets?

00:35:25.000 What if this happens all the time, not just to cabinet members, but to supporters as well?

00:35:29.000 What do you think is going to be the effect on Republicans?

00:35:31.000 What do you think is going to be the effect on people in the middle if this polarization continues?

00:35:37.000 Maybe more and more Republicans start to see the elites not as just people they disagree with, but their enemies.

00:35:43.000 But suddenly the elites are not just people who think, oh, well, I believe in a more inclusive America, folks, but actually people that want to replace you and your kids, that think that. 0.96

00:35:53.000 By virtue of your race and your religion, you should be substituted out for foreign people. 0.91

00:35:57.000 What if suddenly people started to get alienated from the elites? 1.00

00:36:02.000 What if people started to see the violence and they said, you know what, maybe these differences are irreconcilable.

00:36:06.000 Maybe we just have to win.

00:36:09.000 Instead of compromise, instead of civility, instead of moderation, maybe we just have to have a right wing government.

00:36:15.000 It has to be this way.

00:36:17.000 So I think when we look at these kinds of options, it's good for us.

00:36:21.000 In the long run, I think it's a better trajectory if this happens.

00:36:25.000 Better for our playbook than it is for theirs.

00:36:27.000 They keep this kind of thing up. 1.00

00:36:29.000 They're driving right wing people further right.

00:36:31.000 They're driving moderate people into our arms.

00:36:33.000 Why would we stop this? 0.82

00:36:35.000 We should encourage this.

00:36:36.000 This is accelerationism, folks.

00:36:39.000 You have to understand that historical forces do not change through reform.

00:36:43.000 You know, never in history did people get together, maybe like twice, people got together and said, We're going to collectively change our behavior in a more productive direction.

00:36:52.000 We've analyzed the statistics, we've looked at where we're headed, and we're going to make a conscious decision to go the other way.

00:36:58.000 All changes come about in society because dysfunctional things stop working very abruptly.

00:37:05.000 Dysfunction makes things become tense, become rigid, become inflexible, so that they are not resilient.

00:37:12.000 Then you have a big catastrophe and it explodes.

00:37:14.000 And basically, that's the only way that a new order can arise.

00:37:18.000 You know, you think that you could take this system that we have where they have control of so many things.

00:37:23.000 I mean, we could make reforms and we have to prepare ourselves for this inevitable possibility.

00:37:28.000 But the idea that, you know, we're going to just win hearts and minds, we're going to change everybody's mind, we're going to become.

00:37:34.000 You know, we're going to get in the media.

00:37:35.000 We're going to make movies that are like explicitly political, and that's going to challenge Hollywood, and we'll change everybody's mind.

00:37:42.000 We're going to get them to believe in free speech.

00:37:44.000 It's not going to happen, folks.

00:37:45.000 We just got to crank up the tension.

00:37:47.000 We got to crank it up so that it's so tight, so rigid that you could just chop it up with a knife.

00:37:54.000 And then once that happens, a new order can grow in its place one that is organic, one that is of the people, one that is authentic.

00:38:01.000 Because there's no reconciling these differences, folks.

00:38:05.000 These people don't.

00:38:07.000 They don't share the same metaphysics as us.

00:38:09.000 They think that God doesn't exist.

00:38:11.000 And if they don't believe in that, they don't believe in morality.

00:38:14.000 They don't believe in ethics.

00:38:15.000 They don't believe in anything.

00:38:17.000 You can't negotiate with people like that.

00:38:19.000 If you don't even agree about the premise of debate or conversation where they say, actually, civility, debate, language is all tools of white supremacy, you can't even come to the table.

00:38:29.000 So we got to crank it up.

00:38:31.000 You know, don't get me wrong.

00:38:32.000 We don't want to have it be terrible.

00:38:33.000 You know, bad things happen when this happens.

00:38:36.000 But we have to make it such that people are going to have to choose up.

00:38:39.000 They're going to have to.

00:38:40.000 Make a decision, and we're going to have to have something that's revolutionary.

00:38:43.000 It doesn't have to be violent, it doesn't have to be fighting in the streets.

00:38:47.000 I'm not saying that at all, but it does have to be some kind of revolution in consciousness or in decision making where the Democratic Party ceases to be viable or there's some kind of split.

00:38:56.000 It's the only way it's going to go down.

00:38:58.000 So I see the Red Hen thing, I see the Nielsen thing, and it's unfortunate, it's wrong.

00:39:04.000 But you see those things, and the enemy's making a big mistake.

00:39:07.000 You shouldn't interrupt them.

00:39:08.000 You should not interrupt them when they're making a mistake.

00:39:11.000 This has allowed Donald Trump to brand the Democratic Party as the party of Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi, who are telling the voters in West Virginia, the voters in Pennsylvania, the voters in Indiana, we don't like your kind. 0.95

00:39:25.000 We don't like white people. 0.94

00:39:26.000 We don't like Christians. 0.98

00:39:27.000 We don't like Trump supporters. 0.71

00:39:28.000 Let them say that. 0.99

00:39:30.000 See if they're going to be able to hold together this coalition of illegal immigrants and MS-13 and gangbangers. 0.83

00:39:30.000 Let them say that. 0.83

00:39:38.000 See if they're going to be able to hold that coalition together for very much longer.

00:39:40.000 It's not going to happen.

00:39:42.000 They still need us.

00:39:43.000 You know, we're on our way out, basically, if you look at just the arithmetic, absent some kind of major reform, but we're still there.

00:39:51.000 And they're making a big mistake by being so, by flagranting us in such a nasty way.

00:39:58.000 So that's Red Hen. 0.87

00:40:00.000 That's Sarah Huckabee Sanders. 1.00

00:40:01.000 She's a class act.

00:40:03.000 And we feel bad for them.

00:40:04.000 It's unfortunate it has to come to this, but I mean, we passed the point of no return a long time ago.

00:40:09.000 So let's just hope that everybody's safe.

00:40:12.000 Let's hope everybody's okay.

00:40:13.000 Okay, but let's let the left keep making this mistake.

00:40:16.000 The day that they become civil and they come to the table, I mean, they would lose the debate, but I mean, that would be what's best for them.

00:40:24.000 So let them keep doing this.

00:40:25.000 So that's Red Hen.

00:40:26.000 That's SCOTUS.

00:40:27.000 It's a lot of news.

00:40:28.000 It's a lot to lay down there for you, but we're going to jump on into our Streamlabs and our Super Chats.

00:40:35.000 I'll read those out very quickly, and then we'll get into our primary coverage.

00:40:39.000 So remember, it's in 15 minutes.

00:40:41.000 We're bringing on Bryden, we're bringing on Jazz Hands McPheels, and we're going to enter into a live coverage.

00:40:46.000 Some of the polls closed at 7.

00:40:48.000 Some of them closed at 8.

00:40:49.000 Some of them closed at 9.

00:40:50.000 So we're probably not going to stay up until Utah closes.

00:40:53.000 That's much later in the evening.

00:40:55.000 But I think we'll get a good idea of where we're at, maybe like 9 30, 10.

00:40:59.000 Fingers crossed, I could get back on a normal sleep schedule so I could commit myself to some kind of routine so I don't, you know, go all, go all.

00:41:07.000 What's his name from?

00:41:08.000 Yeah, I forget.

00:41:09.000 I'm not even.

00:41:10.000 Missed opportunity.

00:41:11.000 We're just going to go into our Streamlabs.

00:41:13.000 And let's see what we've got here.

00:41:15.000 I have it on the other monitor, so I've got to crane my neck all the way over here.

00:41:20.000 We're going to take our Streamlabs first, and then we're going to take a look at our Super Chats.

00:41:25.000 So let's see. 0.99

00:41:26.000 First, we've got Reagan.

00:41:28.000 Let me bring this over here, actually.

00:41:30.000 We've got Reagan who says, Nick, your pagan slaying skills are known far and wide in Christendom to hype your crusade against Greg Johnson.

00:41:39.000 Can we please get you to wave your knife at the camera with, I shed the blood of the Saxon men? 0.63

00:41:44.000 That's a little LARPy. 0.65

00:41:45.000 A little LARPy for my taste, but hey, maybe the knife makes an appearance.

00:41:49.000 Maybe it doesn't.

00:41:49.000 I don't like to overplay it, you know, but maybe.

00:41:53.000 You know, look, I respect Greg Johnson.

00:41:55.000 I mean, I respect that he's an educated man and certainly an intelligent man, but I really just think he's got the wrong idea about.

00:42:03.000 And I'm not going to show my hand, but certainly I've made a lot of these arguments on the show before.

00:42:08.000 It's just an incoherent worldview.

00:42:10.000 I even, you know, look, people can be as educated as they want to be, but if your worldview is incoherent, if it doesn't make sense, it really doesn't matter.

00:42:17.000 You know, there's a lot of educated Marxists out there, there's a lot of educated neoliberals, neocons, you know, every stripe, every variety, but.

00:42:26.000 If it doesn't fit into some semblance of coherence, it's not going to help you.

00:42:34.000 American Rebel says, You're three minutes late today, Nick.

00:42:36.000 That's three spankings. 0.99

00:42:38.000 Ooh, go tell your mommy you're in big trouble next time. 1.00

00:42:41.000 And I haven't been donating recently because I'm a broke ass bitch nibba. 1.00

00:42:47.000 Well, take it easy on the language, fella. 1.00

00:42:49.000 Christian show. 1.00

00:42:51.000 Christian show, please. 0.57

00:42:52.000 Let's have a little civility over here.

00:42:56.000 I wasn't three minutes late, okay?

00:42:57.000 I was not late at all, actually.

00:42:59.000 Alex says, Your suits fit just fine, lad.

00:43:02.000 Pristine optics.

00:43:03.000 Ignore the tasteless, clueless thoughts.

00:43:05.000 I don't let them get in my head.

00:43:05.000 I always do.

00:43:07.000 You know, the key to thoughts is you just got to remain indifferent.

00:43:10.000 You know, the trick with thoughts is they get in your head.

00:43:12.000 Well, they get in most mortal men's heads.

00:43:15.000 They get in your head with their sultry, temptuous displays, but you got to get that out.

00:43:21.000 You got to become a monk in terms of that so that you can really go hard against them. 1.00

00:43:26.000 And, you know, maybe that sounded a little differently than I wanted to, but you got to fight back against them very strongly because thoughtery is a big problem. 0.99

00:43:37.000 And they get you when you show a little bit of interest. 0.54

00:43:39.000 Can't even entertain the idea that you care, that their opinion matters.

00:43:39.000 So you can't even.

00:43:44.000 That's why I dismiss them so abruptly.

00:43:46.000 And they say, Oh, Nick, you're this, you're that. 1.00

00:43:48.000 It's like, shut up, ugly. 1.00

00:43:50.000 You think I care what you have to say? 1.00

00:43:53.000 You don't even have enough discipline to maintain your virginity.

00:43:57.000 So why should I respect what you have to say about politics? 0.99

00:44:00.000 You're not qualified to talk about it in terms of your brain chemistry or your education.

00:44:07.000 So why would I care what you have to say? 1.00

00:44:09.000 You're just some ugly dummy. 1.00

00:44:12.000 That's how it has to be done. 1.00

00:44:14.000 Rawhide says the founding fathers did not write the Constitution for foreign degenerates.

00:44:18.000 It was for the native population of America.

00:44:21.000 When will people recognize this fact?

00:44:23.000 I don't know.

00:44:24.000 Maybe when it hits home.

00:44:26.000 You know, people are going to feel a lot differently when their kids are going to school with these people.

00:44:29.000 That's the difference.

00:44:31.000 You know, it's very easy for these rich people, these rootless cosmopolitan elites, when they are sheltered from what happens, you know, and they can build up a fence and they can go to a private school and they can build up the gates and all that.

00:44:46.000 But Most people are going to feel this.

00:44:48.000 Most people are going to see a real transformation in ways that affect them personally.

00:44:52.000 And then you're going to see opinions change very quickly. 0.84

00:44:55.000 But right now, all the people that are making policy live in neighborhoods that are all white, where they're free from the consequences of these decisions. 0.66

00:45:03.000 They're neighborhoods that are safe, that are high income. 0.70

00:45:07.000 They go to school with people that are not going to rape or kill their kids, like you see in many places where there's high immigration.

00:45:16.000 I think it'll happen once people start feeling it. 0.63

00:45:19.000 Anonymous said, What books should all Catholics read? 0.96

00:45:22.000 Mere Christianity was a great recommendation.

00:45:24.000 You know, there's a lot of great Catholic literature out there.

00:45:27.000 You got to read G.K. Chesterton.

00:45:30.000 You got to read C.S. Lewis.

00:45:31.000 You got to read Fulton Sheen.

00:45:33.000 These are pretty good starter materials.

00:45:35.000 But really, Catholicism is such a broad subject.

00:45:38.000 You've got history, you've got theology, you've got philosophy, metaphysics.

00:45:43.000 There's so much that goes into it.

00:45:45.000 I would watch Catholic Answers on YouTube.

00:45:48.000 They give a lot of good book recommendations on there, even if you're not wild about the apologism that they do.

00:45:53.000 Because it is, you know, if you're like a more traditionalist, you're not going to like the flavor of it.

00:45:57.000 But they've got a lot of really qualified, well read people that for every question they field, they say, oh, and here's like four books you could read on the subject.

00:46:05.000 So I highly recommend that as a resource for people that want to know.

00:46:08.000 Everybody's always asking me.

00:46:10.000 It's like, I didn't go to school for that.

00:46:12.000 I'm not like a licensed apologist or anything.

00:46:15.000 My specialty is politics, very different.

00:46:18.000 So you got to ask the experts.

00:46:21.000 Level Best says, relentlessly pursue perfection knowing you won't catch it because in the process you will catch excellence.

00:46:28.000 Nick's suit pursues it first class.

00:46:30.000 Ignore the dummies on Twitter.

00:46:32.000 Thank you, big guy. 0.94

00:46:33.000 That's very true.

00:46:34.000 Very true principle.

00:46:36.000 You know, and it's sort of a duality about it where at once you have to be striving for perfection, you have to be striving for Pareto optimality, but at the same time there has to be this admission or acceptance that falling short is okay and it can be excellence if you're really striving.

00:46:52.000 So it's.

00:46:53.000 It's kind of this duality.

00:46:54.000 A lot of things are like this.

00:46:57.000 Teflon Dom says What amount of edgy podcasts and McDonald books will qualify me to run for Senate?

00:47:03.000 Well, you just got to read two chapters of Culture of Critique.

00:47:06.000 And even if you lose, you still win.

00:47:08.000 You know, I mean, on the Patrick Little thing, I think what it lays bare or is representative of is a problem I saw at Charlottesville, which is just a complete divorce from reality.

00:47:20.000 You can't convince these people that they're not winning.

00:47:22.000 No matter what, it's always, no, we're winning.

00:47:25.000 Even though they have no metrics for that, even though they have no goals to contrast that with, it's always, we're winning.

00:47:32.000 We got 1.5% of the vote.

00:47:34.000 No, they just cheated.

00:47:35.000 We actually won.

00:47:37.000 But they stole it.

00:47:38.000 We're still winning.

00:47:40.000 And part of having a healthy movement or an organism is introspection, taking stock.

00:47:48.000 Are we doing well?

00:47:49.000 Are we achieving our goals?

00:47:51.000 And so this constant denial of failure is a big problem.

00:47:55.000 It's something I saw at Charlottesville, Gainesville, time and time again.

00:47:58.000 I'd say, no, this was bad.

00:48:00.000 We can learn from it.

00:48:01.000 Maybe it had to happen, but this was bad.

00:48:03.000 This was a big failure.

00:48:04.000 This set us back, it didn't move us forward.

00:48:06.000 And people would say, that's not true.

00:48:08.000 You're just a counter signal or you're just subversive.

00:48:10.000 It's like, No, we're actually failing.

00:48:13.000 And they're like, no, no, I can assure you we're winning.

00:48:15.000 We're in this abstract, arbitrary way that I thought of without consulting anybody.

00:48:21.000 I think we're winning.

00:48:22.000 It's like, okay, yeah, good luck with the friggin' Heimbach rally in Michigan, right?

00:48:28.000 That's not to attack any one person, but that's just to say it's a real problem.

00:48:32.000 We have to really be realistic about these things.

00:48:35.000 And so, you know, people who I understand some of the sentiment, not all of it by all means, but for people who say, oh, you know, maybe we support this guy, whatever.

00:48:45.000 You know, then it comes crashing down as I predicted, and then celebrated.

00:48:48.000 They say, oh no, but it actually wasn't a loss.

00:48:50.000 It was a big victory, but it was just completely stolen. 0.91

00:48:53.000 You know, goofy.

00:48:56.000 And it looks like that's all our Streamlabs.

00:48:58.000 Let's take a look at our Super Chat, see what we got going on.

00:49:01.000 We've got Handsome Truth who says, here's five shekels.

00:49:04.000 Thank you, big guy. 1.00

00:49:05.000 Rawhide says, dab on those Muslims, dabbing on them every day. 1.00

00:49:09.000 You know what we should do? 1.00

00:49:12.000 We should do this.

00:49:13.000 Everybody has to eat bacon, and the people that don't eat bacon have to leave.

00:49:16.000 It's just a funny.

00:49:18.000 Cute, totally innocent way to say that bacon is like so good, it's so American, you know, that if you don't eat it, you have to get the hell out.

00:49:27.000 And so, anybody that refuses to eat the bacon has to get out.

00:49:31.000 So, no matter what, if you don't eat bacon, we have to just get them out or just stop letting them in, you know.

00:49:37.000 So, that's my test.

00:49:38.000 So, that's just a funny, quirky, kitschy, you know, silly like Reddit thing.

00:49:42.000 Haha, America, bacon's so American, it's so good.

00:49:46.000 So, if you don't eat it, gotta get out.

00:49:47.000 And, you know, don't read into that too much.

00:49:49.000 It's just a funny thing I came up with. 0.97

00:49:51.000 Because I'm a pretty silly guy. 0.95

00:49:53.000 Simon Skola says Jake Lloyd is so woke. 0.96

00:49:56.000 Hope he doesn't get fired.

00:49:57.000 I know.

00:49:57.000 It's such a blessing.

00:50:00.000 Jake Lloyd is a very smart guy.

00:50:03.000 He knows what's going on, he knows the score.

00:50:06.000 And Lord knows it's tough when you talk about certain subjects.

00:50:09.000 So wish him the best.

00:50:11.000 I hope he's really an ascendant force.

00:50:13.000 I like him a lot.

00:50:15.000 Guys, Grackett says Nick, if you ever become president, please never allow Paul Ryan to be Irish ambassador. 0.98

00:50:20.000 I hate that cuck.

00:50:22.000 My Irish ambassador would be Bobok from the call in shows. 0.98

00:50:25.000 Just kidding.

00:50:26.000 He quit our game of civilization last night, so he's dead to me.

00:50:31.000 Patrick Casey will be our ambassador to the Irish. 0.94

00:50:34.000 Yeah, Patrick Casey, or who else is a real Celt? 1.00

00:50:38.000 Well, he's a pretty strong potato kind of a guy, so I think he would be the Irish ambassador. 0.97

00:50:44.000 Simon Skola says, Trash economy 2018.

00:50:46.000 We don't even have to wait until 2070.

00:50:48.000 Highly true.

00:50:49.000 Highly true.

00:50:50.000 Philip J. Fry says, Bruh, really? 0.59

00:50:54.000 Kind of a bug man complaint.

00:50:57.000 Leo Waze, I'm so tired of these uppity knickers.

00:51:00.000 Big water win.

00:51:01.000 And of course, he's referring to fans of the Nick Show.

00:51:04.000 And we call them affectionately the Nickers.

00:51:06.000 It bears no relation to any other word or thing.

00:51:10.000 But yeah, big win for big water.

00:51:12.000 Hey, you know, nothing refreshes me more than a big glass of big, cold, refreshing water.

00:51:19.000 Totally owned by the big water lobby.

00:51:22.000 Frederick White says leftists never disavow their extremists.

00:51:26.000 You always disavow people, Nick.

00:51:28.000 You can learn from the leftist big guy.

00:51:30.000 Hill victory. 0.99

00:51:30.000 You know, these people are so goofy. 0.99

00:51:32.000 I know he's trying to get my goat. 0.99

00:51:34.000 But it's just such a ridiculous argument because, of course, it's an asymmetrical position. 0.97

00:51:39.000 So, when low IQ people say this kind of thing, James used to say this kind of thing to me all the time. 0.87

00:51:44.000 Not saying he's low IQ for the sake of legal reasons, but he would always say, You never attack your radicals.

00:51:51.000 Well, it's a big difference because the left can protect their radicals with the mainstream media, with every major corporation, Hollywood, every major news media outlet, everything.

00:52:03.000 Do we have that?

00:52:04.000 No.

00:52:05.000 No.

00:52:06.000 They'll actually put our radicals up using the same apparatus that they used to hide theirs.

00:52:10.000 And they'll try and say that we're the same as them.

00:52:13.000 So it has to be done, folks.

00:52:14.000 We have to disassociate.

00:52:17.000 But, you know, hey, why don't you go visit Commander Heimback in prison?

00:52:21.000 Ask him how the revolution's doing.

00:52:23.000 Michael Jones says, civility is a tool of white supremacy, says Samantha B. Ryder.

00:52:29.000 Yeah, a lot of real winners on that show, right?

00:52:31.000 Not funny.

00:52:32.000 Not funny. 1.00

00:52:33.000 Women liberals are not funny. 1.00

00:52:35.000 And women are not funny. 1.00

00:52:36.000 And liberals are not funny. 1.00

00:52:38.000 You know who's funny?

00:52:39.000 Me.

00:52:40.000 And right wing people in general, men. 1.00

00:52:43.000 Look, it's not, I have nothing against women, but I don't like when they try to be funny and they're not funny. 1.00

00:52:49.000 I don't like when people try to do things and they don't do it well, and then you have to pretend that they are anyway. 0.97

00:52:54.000 That's just because I feel self conscious by extension.

00:52:58.000 So I guess that I'm not really a sociopath in that sense.

00:53:01.000 If people are floundering, I'm like, oh, could you please, because it hurts me.

00:53:06.000 But I'll be in a social situation, and you'll get a woman or you'll get some juvenile male.

00:53:12.000 And they'll be trying, trying, trying, keep throwing stuff out there.

00:53:15.000 And it's like, just please, for the love of God, just please stop.

00:53:20.000 Just stay down.

00:53:21.000 You know, it's like watching someone get brutally beaten in a bad boxing match.

00:53:26.000 You know, it's just like, please, we don't want to see you get hurt anymore. 0.83

00:53:30.000 So I see this a lot on the part of women.

00:53:33.000 It's very cringe. 1.00

00:53:34.000 I don't like it.

00:53:35.000 So, and that's Samantha B.

00:53:37.000 It's all very cringe stuff. 0.94

00:53:39.000 We've got Recovery Anonymous who says, what is the worst kind of Person in your opinion, and tell me why the correct answer is smug Brits like Sargon.

00:53:48.000 Worst kind of person.

00:53:50.000 Now, people who say especially, that's the worst person.

00:53:54.000 I don't know if I should say this, but somebody, one of the administrators in my high school said this a lot.

00:53:59.000 I don't want to dox him by saying what his role was, but he always said this.

00:54:03.000 I could never take it.

00:54:04.000 You're an adult, you're saying especially.

00:54:06.000 So people like this.

00:54:09.000 Who else?

00:54:11.000 It just, you know, people that generally get on my nerves like that.

00:54:14.000 It's not even like.

00:54:15.000 Classes of people like that, so much as it is, you know, these kinds of people.

00:54:18.000 Boomers who believe in QAnon, you know, that kind of thing.

00:54:23.000 I think we could do without a little. 1.00

00:54:25.000 Let me do a little Google search here.

00:54:30.000 Let's take a look.

00:54:32.000 Sam Cedar is an American comedian, writer, actor, film director, and progressive talk radio host.

00:54:37.000 What is the majority report?

00:54:38.000 Is that a television show?

00:54:39.000 Is that a YouTube thing?

00:54:42.000 Let's take a look.

00:54:43.000 Was this a long time ago or is this recently?

00:54:45.000 Because I think I, now that I see it, I think he.

00:54:48.000 Attacked me back in Charlottesville days, but not recently. 1.00

00:54:54.000 I'll have to find it another day, but yeah, this guy strikes me as a real homo, a real tool. 1.00

00:55:00.000 Let's take a look at the physiognomy here, real quick. 1.00

00:55:02.000 I'm going to have to mute it. 1.00

00:55:03.000 Oh, is he Jewish? 1.00

00:55:05.000 That would explain a lot. 1.00

00:55:07.000 Yeah, he looks like who's that rapist film director?

00:55:11.000 I'm really blanking on the names today.

00:55:13.000 What's his name?

00:55:14.000 Come on, everybody knows.

00:55:15.000 The one that had to flee the country.

00:55:16.000 Roman Polanski, is that it?

00:55:18.000 Or is it a different one?

00:55:20.000 But yeah, he's got a real, that's a real, he's a real white male.

00:55:24.000 Let's put it that way, right? 0.55

00:55:26.000 But no, I didn't catch that.

00:55:27.000 Nobody really watches a majority report that's above, like, or that's under 25 or 30.

00:55:31.000 So, not relevant.

00:55:33.000 Let's see.

00:55:35.000 Lemony Snicket says, You missed my super chat.

00:55:39.000 Let me see.

00:55:39.000 Did I?

00:55:40.000 I don't see it.

00:55:42.000 Rawhide says, Anime is better than most Western material.

00:55:45.000 It doesn't actually, or it doesn't racially guilt Japanese people and promotes traditional roles.

00:55:51.000 Yeah, but I don't really like anime that much.

00:55:54.000 I like Evangelion, but I prefer Western.

00:55:57.000 I don't really like any cartoons, but I guess I prefer Western. 1.00

00:56:00.000 The Japanese stuff is just kind of silly to me. 1.00

00:56:02.000 It's just not the same culture. 1.00

00:56:04.000 Lemony Sticket says, Oh, no, you missed my Streamlabs.

00:56:06.000 Okay, so I got to refresh that.

00:56:09.000 But then we got to bring in our people.

00:56:10.000 Maybe I'll read the rest later. 1.00

00:56:13.000 We've got Bill Baggos says, as you stated, the problem isn't the Muslims, but the people bringing them. 1.00

00:56:17.000 Why ban Muslims, but not them? 1.00

00:56:19.000 Exactly right. 1.00

00:56:20.000 Got to destroy the elites. 1.00

00:56:22.000 But it's 8 o'clock, so I see you, Joe the Croat. 0.99

00:56:25.000 I see you, White Knight. 0.99

00:56:27.000 I will get you guys after the election coverage or during it at some point.

00:56:32.000 But right now, we got to bring in McPheels.

00:56:35.000 We got to bring in Bryden so we could start looking at these primary races.

00:56:41.000 So, let me get them the hangout links.

00:56:43.000 We're going to be going through a little bit of a transition here.

00:56:46.000 So, please bear with me as I get this all set up here.

00:56:50.000 Let me just copy this link and I'll send it over.

00:56:55.000 Maybe I should get a Baked Alaska song going in the meantime.

00:56:58.000 Would you guys enjoy that?

00:57:00.000 If I threw that up on the air, I think I just might.

00:57:05.000 I think he's been working on some new music, but he hasn't released any of the new songs.

00:57:12.000 Let's do MAGA Anthem.

00:57:14.000 We'll play that as a little intermission while we get this set up here.

00:57:21.000 I got to mute it on my side?

00:57:23.000 No, I got to mute it this way.

00:57:28.000 Okay.

00:57:31.000 My favorite song of all time, folks.

00:57:34.000 My favorite song, unironically, a good song.

00:57:36.000 Okay.

00:57:40.000 So let me get this all set up here for you.

00:57:43.000 And then we'll bring on McPheels and we'll have Bryden, and it'll be a fun little live election coverage.

00:57:49.000 I'll tweet out the link again so we get a fresh injection of livestock, of proletariats to watch the show. 0.51

00:57:58.000 Let me also get it over to Mr. Factual Face, Mr. Bryden.

00:58:04.000 I will fix my headgear, and then we will be all set to go.

00:58:14.000 Okay, get that out of there.

00:58:18.000 Full screen, pump up the headphones over here, and then now we'll.

00:58:22.000 Give me a sec here.

00:58:25.000 So we're all tangled here.

00:58:28.000 And then we'll get on Mr. Jazz Hands McFeels.

00:58:31.000 I gotta turn this down.

00:58:32.000 I can't hear anything.

00:58:33.000 I can't even hear myself.

00:58:38.000 In some ways, that's a good thing, though, you know.

00:58:49.000 Okay, Bryden, are you there?

00:58:52.000 I sure am.

00:58:53.000 Is my mic all right?

00:58:55.000 Give me one sec.

00:58:56.000 Okay, can you give me a test real quick?

00:58:58.000 Yeah, test one, two, three, four.

00:59:01.000 Not sure how the mic is working out, but it should be all right.

00:59:05.000 Give me a little echo here.

00:59:08.000 Uh oh.

00:59:09.000 Let me see.

00:59:10.000 Do you have two mics on or something?

00:59:12.000 No, I shouldn't.

00:59:14.000 Oh, you're good now.

00:59:15.000 Oh, okay.

00:59:16.000 Let me just get this out of here.

00:59:16.000 Cool.

00:59:19.000 All right, so we're just waiting on jazz hands, and then we can begin.

00:59:24.000 The big stream, and it should be, I think, a fun time for all involved.

00:59:29.000 I'm hoping so.

00:59:30.000 McMaster's not looking so hot, or Warren's not looking so hot over there, so I guess the Trump bump thing worked, but Lee Bright's kind of getting trounced at the moment, too, in South Carolina's fourth, which is interesting.

00:59:43.000 Yeah.

00:59:44.000 Which primaries have already come in yet in terms of that we're seeing polling right now?

00:59:50.000 We've got some in South Carolina.

00:59:56.000 Nothing in Colorado yet.

00:59:59.000 Let's see.

01:00:04.000 Nothing over in Maryland.

01:00:07.000 We've got some in Oklahoma.

01:00:11.000 So we've got some stuff coming in there.

01:00:16.000 Why don't I see anything out of Utah?

01:00:20.000 Yeah, nothing out of Utah.

01:00:21.000 I'm opening them up on my computer and then I'll put them on the screen so that the masses can see.

01:00:30.000 Let's just make sure.

01:00:31.000 Okay.

01:00:32.000 Okay, so it looks like the sound is working here.

01:00:34.000 All right, so let me just get over here.

01:00:34.000 Very good.

01:00:37.000 I'm going to throw it up on the big screen.

01:00:38.000 I've got to be on an incognito window.

01:00:40.000 Don't read too much into that.

01:00:41.000 It's just because for New York Times, you've got to subscribe.

01:00:50.000 Otherwise, you run out of articles, you know.

01:00:54.000 Yep.

01:00:57.000 Hey, Nick, what's happening, man?

01:00:58.000 Can you hear me?

01:00:59.000 Hey, I can hear you.

01:01:00.000 What's up?

01:01:01.000 Not much, dude.

01:01:03.000 Hello, Jazz.

01:01:03.000 Sounds nice to finally meet you.

01:01:05.000 Hey.

01:01:06.000 Are you guys just meeting for the first time?

01:01:09.000 Yeah.

01:01:12.000 Very cool.

01:01:13.000 Connections are happening on the America First show, huh?

01:01:13.000 Very cool.

01:01:16.000 My name is Bryden.

01:01:18.000 Hey, man.

01:01:19.000 How's it going?

01:01:20.000 It's going all right.

01:01:23.000 Well, yeah, I should give you a more proper introduction.

01:01:25.000 We've been kind of in this freewheeling kind of attitude on the show tonight, and we've been setting it up, so we've been in this intermission phase, but I will introduce you now.

01:01:34.000 Now, be seriously beginning our coverage of the 2018 primaries.

01:01:34.000 We will.

01:01:39.000 We're looking at primary races in Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Maryland, New York, and we're looking at runoffs in Mississippi and South Carolina.

01:01:48.000 I'm not missing anything there, right, fellas?

01:01:51.000 That's all of them, right?

01:01:52.000 I think you covered it.

01:01:53.000 Yeah.

01:01:55.000 And so, for our live coverage, we've got, of course, two returning guests, very top notch people on election coverage.

01:02:03.000 We've got Bryden from Right to Bryden and Jazz Hands McFields.

01:02:07.000 From Fascination.

01:02:08.000 So, welcome, you guys.

01:02:09.000 Great to have you back.

01:02:12.000 Hello, hello.

01:02:12.000 It's good to be here.

01:02:13.000 Thanks for having me.

01:02:14.000 Of course, of course.

01:02:16.000 So, have you guys been watching the primary results come in tonight, or are you just starting to look at them right now?

01:02:23.000 Just starting to look at them, man.

01:02:24.000 I mean, the white pills have been coming pretty strong across all fronts.

01:02:28.000 There's, you know, I'm kind of interested in Mitt Romney, kind of interested to see what happens in New York, definitely interested to see how things shake out in Maryland.

01:02:37.000 But otherwise, a lot of the elections that are being held tonight are pretty.

01:02:42.000 Kind of inconsequential, I think, in the long run.

01:02:44.000 But those are the big ones that I'm kind of interested in seeing.

01:02:47.000 I mean, we know Mitt Romney's going to win, right?

01:02:49.000 But the question is, you know, what is he going to do with that win and how does that play out?

01:02:55.000 And he's basically in the Senate for life if he makes it in tonight, right?

01:03:00.000 I mean, that's his play is to be the new John McCain, right?

01:03:05.000 Right.

01:03:07.000 Yeah.

01:03:07.000 Whoops.

01:03:08.000 Hang on.

01:03:09.000 Maybe I got too many applications going at once.

01:03:13.000 I'm missing here.

01:03:14.000 Let me.

01:03:15.000 What's going on here, fellas?

01:03:16.000 Let me.

01:03:19.000 That's always something, right?

01:03:20.000 Isn't it? 1.00

01:03:22.000 The big one in Maryland that I think everybody's keeping their eye on is old Chelsea Manning there.

01:03:29.000 So I'm interested to see how many boats actually go to old Bradley and if we're going to get another rooftop tweet after it.

01:03:41.000 Yeah, no, that'll be.

01:03:44.000 It's funny because, oh, this is why it's happening.

01:03:47.000 Okay, yeah, of course.

01:03:51.000 Yeah, it's funny because, you know, you look at Maryland and Chelsea Manning, you know, maybe she could have, I don't think she would have really stood a chance.

01:03:51.000 What do you call it?

01:04:00.000 I know she was kind of running as just kind of like a political thing, but, you know, pretty goofy to see all this Democrat silliness, whether you have the gubernatorial candidates, Chelsea Manning as a Senate candidate.

01:04:12.000 It's very, very goofy stuff going on in Democratic states.

01:04:15.000 I think you could look at Maryland, you could look at the tomfoolery that goes on there in these elections and say, we probably don't want our country to look like that.

01:04:23.000 Well, speaking of Maryland, too, the gubernatorial race, you have Rashearn Baker and Ben Jealous, which those are terrible names.

01:04:31.000 They're both endorsed by old comrade Sanders.

01:04:33.000 I mean, you know, Larry Hogan is a lock.

01:04:35.000 He obviously has a better mixtape anyway, but it will be neat to see how well the more progressive candidates do just really all across the board.

01:04:46.000 They haven't been having too great of a run, I would say, but when you see a party like this just torn asunder by the dingbat.

01:04:56.000 Branch of them, and then the more establishment branch.

01:05:00.000 It fares well for us, but it sure is a lot of fun to watch.

01:05:05.000 Get a lot of grins over it.

01:05:07.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:05:08.000 Well, it'll be an exciting night.

01:05:11.000 I know we've got primary results that have been coming in for an hour, and then some that are just coming in since 8 o'clock.

01:05:17.000 And then I think Utah is in until later, which, like McPheel said, none of these elections are really consequential.

01:05:23.000 They're really just more indicators.

01:05:26.000 Of where the Democratic Party is, the Republican Party, where Trump is with his base, and how that'll all play out in the midterms.

01:05:33.000 So that's what's kind of nice about this one.

01:05:35.000 You know, when you watch the Alabama special Senate election and some of the other ones, it was like high stakes stuff because, you know, big defeats and it actually amounted to seats.

01:05:45.000 But for the most part here, I think we're pretty comfortable, pretty relaxed.

01:05:49.000 And we'll see what happens.

01:05:50.000 I'm trying to, I don't know what's going on with my video, but yeah, go ahead.

01:05:56.000 You go ahead while I figure this out.

01:05:58.000 The thing, though, one interesting thing about the Maryland race and some of, especially with like Chelsea Manning challenging Cardin, is that Democrats put out this clarion call for literally everybody to run for office.

01:06:13.000 Anybody that could cobble together enough signatures to get on the ballot should run.

01:06:18.000 And of course, knowing their coalitions and how fractured they are and the quality of individuals that they would field to run for public office, that hasn't necessarily turned out to be the best plan to the extent that even Steny Hoyer was caught on a hot mic trying to convince a more progressive candidate to stay out of the race.

01:06:39.000 I mean, this is the, you know, you reap what you sow sort of thing here.

01:06:45.000 And so now you have a guy in Maryland.

01:06:47.000 One is from the NAACP.

01:06:49.000 The other one is an executive from Prince George's County. 1.00

01:06:52.000 And for those who aren't familiar, PG County is like the worst, the blackest county in Maryland. 1.00

01:06:59.000 It's essentially where the fifth ward of DC was sent. 1.00

01:07:02.000 When they cleaned up DC, they basically all went to PG County.

01:07:05.000 And so the crime rate is like as bad, if not worse.

01:07:08.000 And so you have an executive of PG County versus someone from the NAACP.

01:07:13.000 And I think various factions of.

01:07:17.000 Non white Democrat elected Democrats have endorsed either one of these candidates.

01:07:22.000 I don't think I have this in front of me.

01:07:24.000 Let me try to find it here.

01:07:26.000 I think it's kind of split down the middle.

01:07:28.000 Yeah, so you have Chris Van Hollen and Martin O'Malley are backing, I think, Jealous.

01:07:36.000 And you have Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris.

01:07:39.000 I'm sorry, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders are backing Jealous.

01:07:42.000 Chris Van Hollen and Martin O'Malley are backing Rashad or Baker or Rashurn Baker or whatever.

01:07:47.000 So the party is, you know, They don't want to talk about this, but there is a Democratic Civil War kind of bubbling beneath the surface.

01:07:54.000 And so some of the outcomes of these races are going to have an effect on that, especially if their candidates don't win in the long run against somebody like Hogan, who's been pretty milquetoast.

01:08:05.000 But in a state like Maryland, I mean, you know, the guy, he's a Republican, but he's had to like be in favor of legalizing weed and going really soft on the border.

01:08:14.000 I mean, I think he recalled all the National Guard troops to like virtue signal against Trump.

01:08:19.000 It's been a total disaster in Maryland.

01:08:21.000 Yeah.

01:08:22.000 I've heard, however, though, I know somebody from Maryland who sent me a little background information on that race, somebody who's involved in the Republican GOP there.

01:08:30.000 And he tells me, a good source, good friend of mine, who says that actually this Larry Hogan character is actually not so bad because I know he presents his milquetoast.

01:08:39.000 Like I would never say that he's, you know, a real winning kind of a guy.

01:08:41.000 But I think you look at a guy like Hogan, he's somebody who's playing the game.

01:08:45.000 You know, I've heard that he has no problem with Trump behind closed doors or his policies for that matter.

01:08:51.000 It's just a matter of.

01:08:52.000 Strategy in a blue state, which, you know, that's a testimonial I've heard.

01:08:57.000 I think it's certainly something that's tangible in a state like that.

01:09:00.000 But what we're really playing for in Maryland with this Hogan character, who's got pretty good approval ratings and was able to pull off a pretty big win in a blue state, is the census.

01:09:09.000 You know, we look at the census in 2020, and if Hogan is the governor, we are able to influence how the congressional districts are drawn up for the next 10 years.

01:09:20.000 And so right now it's gerrymandered pretty badly in Maryland, where you've had, you have like, Districts that are barely even contiguous, where they lump in inner city people with rural people.

01:09:29.000 They make it so that white people are basically disenfranchised, not represented. 0.57

01:09:33.000 And so, yeah, they're all out west.

01:09:36.000 I think there's one bona fide Republican district in Maryland way out west, and there used to be three, and then they parse it up.

01:09:42.000 You are right, though.

01:09:45.000 Having Logan in office while the census is in play is definitely strong.

01:09:50.000 And to Hogan's credit, he did, the AG in Maryland wanted to sue the Trump administration, and Hogan withheld the funds.

01:09:59.000 So he, you know, give him a little credit.

01:10:01.000 But yeah, he's playing the game.

01:10:01.000 Right.

01:10:02.000 I agree.

01:10:03.000 What do you think about this, Brian?

01:10:04.000 What do you think about Hogan and about Maryland?

01:10:06.000 I know you're from, you're not from the East Coast, but what is your take on that?

01:10:11.000 I mean, he's unopposed.

01:10:14.000 So what are we going to do?

01:10:16.000 I mean, it looks pretty solid for the guy.

01:10:19.000 I'm not too interested in it as much as I am, you know, interested in some of these more progressive candidates out there warranted out.

01:10:27.000 I mean, neither one of these, you know, run DMC knockoff fellas are going to win.

01:10:31.000 It's just a good sign if, There's a big split of the vote on the left.

01:10:36.000 I mean, Hogan's fine.

01:10:37.000 There's nothing we can do about him.

01:10:39.000 We can't elect anybody in the chat.

01:10:41.000 So, you know, it works for me.

01:10:43.000 I'm not going to complain about it.

01:10:46.000 Yeah, Hogan's really the only type of candidate that Maryland can elect.

01:10:52.000 And their demographic situation has been pretty stagnant.

01:10:55.000 I mean, it isn't trending worse.

01:10:57.000 It's kind of just been kind of stagnant for 20 years.

01:11:00.000 But if it gets much worse, then that's going to be one of those states where there is no hope of electing a Republican at any point in the future.

01:11:08.000 And Virginia may already be at that point just because of Northern Virginia tipping the scales.

01:11:14.000 So, best we can do for right now, I guess.

01:11:18.000 Well, yeah, and that's a good point that you make because we also watched Virginia, which is very similar in terms of what's going on there with the demographics and kind of this urban versus rural thing.

01:11:18.000 Yeah.

01:11:29.000 You know, they share the same D.C. metropolitan area.

01:11:31.000 Maryland has Baltimore, of course.

01:11:33.000 But, you know, we saw in Virginia earlier on in the special election in 2017 something exactly the same where after that round of elections, I think we might have been doing primary coverage live with that, or I forget what the scenario was, but maybe we referenced it on the Alabama stream.

01:11:49.000 But we basically brought up how.

01:11:51.000 Virginia turned into a racial headcount where essentially moving forward because of mass immigration, because of the demographics of the state, these kinds of swing states are going to become very hostile and almost uncompetitive to Republicans.

01:12:04.000 Whereas before you could flip Virginia, whereas before you could flip a New Mexico, a Colorado.

01:12:10.000 It's looking that increasingly these kinds of border swing states that kind of go one way or the other are now going pretty decidedly for the left.

01:12:19.000 And so you're basically right about that in terms of Larry Hogan's the best we're going to get.

01:12:24.000 So, it's not like Brian had said, it's not like ideal.

01:12:26.000 We're not really going to change it in the chat, but that's really the best we can do.

01:12:30.000 So, it's a tough situation, but I guess we'll see what happens.

01:12:35.000 We're seeing.

01:12:36.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:12:37.000 We just have results coming out of New York. 0.99

01:12:39.000 Sorry, go ahead, Jez.

01:12:40.000 And then we have some stuff here.

01:12:42.000 Oh, no, the results are more important than what I was going to say.

01:12:44.000 Yeah, go ahead.

01:12:46.000 So, there's been a couple different races in New York that I, for the whole, you know, dingbat left, that I really wanted to pay attention to.

01:12:54.000 One is the 12th, where you have Carolyn Maloney.

01:12:59.000 She's been there for 25 years. 0.72

01:13:02.000 She got a little bit of flack, but she is woke on vaccines.

01:13:07.000 She is blowing out old Siraj Patel, the more progressive candidate, saying we ought to dismantle ICE.

01:13:14.000 This guy's campaign office is in a bar.

01:13:17.000 But surprisingly, over in the 14th, the incumbent Joe Crowley, we've got 51% reporting.

01:13:24.000 Joe Crowley, 41, Alexandria Oscasio Cortez.

01:13:29.000 She's not thick, guys, so don't worry. 0.99

01:13:31.000 She's not. 0.98

01:13:32.000 She's not good, but she seems to be blowing out the incumbent here.

01:13:36.000 And that'll mean if the trend goes forward, then we've already got Anthony Pappas, which is better known in the Latin, the original Latin, Tony Potatoes.

01:13:46.000 But that's a surprising one for me there, is Alexandria.

01:13:52.000 Yeah, that's a good point that you make.

01:13:54.000 And it kind of highlights a point that Jazz brought up earlier about this civil war that's boiling under the surface with the Democratic Party.

01:14:02.000 Because this is something we witnessed, I think, very early on.

01:14:06.000 In Texas, we saw kind of the beginnings of this.

01:14:09.000 We talked a lot about this in the Pennsylvania special election, which is that we're not going to see the same kind of coherence.

01:14:14.000 We're not going to see the kinds of winning candidates that we have seen in the special elections.

01:14:18.000 What we're going to see in 2018 is a real breakdown, which reflects, I think, the kind of thing that we saw in the Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton primary, where the people, the progressives that for so long said, we're going to go along to get along, we'll vote for the establishment candidate, we're going to go with what works, with what wins.

01:14:37.000 Now, I think you have kind of this open revolt basically.

01:14:40.000 It's being silenced.

01:14:41.000 It's being suppressed in a big way.

01:14:43.000 But you look at, for example, the incumbent in that race you just brought up that's losing, you see that the progressives really are in revolt against the establishment.

01:14:51.000 And that's not going to bode well for a blue wave.

01:14:54.000 If the blue wave is going to comprise mostly of progressives, and if establishment candidates win, are they going to go for the establishment candidates?

01:15:00.000 Are they going to rally around?

01:15:02.000 And then vice versa, if the progressives win, they're not going to win the moderates, and they're not going to get crossover from the right.

01:15:08.000 So I think that the blue wave, it's basically crested at this point.

01:15:12.000 Now we're talking about a red wave.

01:15:14.000 But if there is big Democratic turnout, the question is, is it going to be split?

01:15:18.000 I mean, is it even going to be consistent?

01:15:20.000 Because I think we're seeing a lot of this we saw in California, Texas, and it looks like already early signs in New York as well.

01:15:27.000 Well, absolutely.

01:15:28.000 And California is a great example, too, because what they were concerned about there with the top two primary system was if you had a smorgasbord of Democratic, leftist, far left candidates running for office, then those votes would get, they'd be chasing all the Democratic votes, and then Republicans would.

01:15:47.000 Would come in second.

01:15:48.000 And that's what happened in the governor race as well, as there were too many other options.

01:15:53.000 And so they're trying, at least in that system, they were trying to push as many of the people off the ballot as possible.

01:15:59.000 And it's not the same system in Maryland, but that's why Steny Hoyer was trying to get the progressive because you always hear Mitch McConnell going out there, we need to elect candidates who can win.

01:16:10.000 There is some truth to that, and the left knows it as well.

01:16:13.000 And they have to be able to elect candidates who can go up against Republican incumbents.

01:16:19.000 In the fall.

01:16:20.000 And if they elect some, you know, if they have eight people in the race, you know, eight cat ladies or just really insane looking, cringy candidates that can't win independent voters, it's a loss.

01:16:31.000 And they were the ones that told those people to come out.

01:16:33.000 And that was the blue wave that they were trying to meme.

01:16:35.000 The blue wave was really just a mass of unelectable candidates who showed up and got on the ballot.

01:16:42.000 That doesn't translate into wins in the fall.

01:16:44.000 So.

01:16:46.000 Yeah.

01:16:46.000 Very good point about that.

01:16:47.000 You know, it really was.

01:16:49.000 A meme, you know, because people got the blue wave from these big voter shifts in the special elections.

01:16:57.000 You know, 538 could hardly contain themselves over the fact that districts and states that broke 10, 15, 20 points for the right were now drifting a lot further to the left.

01:17:06.000 But I think in every case, you had very special scenarios, whether it was the Alabama center race with Roy Moore, whether it was Pennsylvania with Connor Lamb.

01:17:17.000 Now you're seeing, like you said, with the progressives that are coming out to run in droves, all these women that they can't stop. 0.97

01:17:23.000 Talking about and all these progressives, it's just a bunch of unelectable losers. 0.91

01:17:26.000 You know, just because a lot of people show up to run, that just means there's a lot of intensity on the furthest partisan, most ideological faction of the party. 0.79

01:17:36.000 And that's always true.

01:17:38.000 That's true for both sides.

01:17:39.000 You know, just because they're taking a more activist lens, that doesn't really change the calculation that Democrats have got a real problem in terms of are they going to get the middle?

01:17:47.000 Are they going to get the crossover?

01:17:48.000 What's the message?

01:17:49.000 You know, so I think it's a big problem for them.

01:17:52.000 Maybe we're not seeing it right now in the primaries, but I think it'll definitely.

01:17:56.000 The blue wave is going to run into some trouble in 2018.

01:18:00.000 Well, speaking of just having a bunch of pretty unelectable people run in the state legislature in Oklahoma, they had, you know, 100 or so teachers run, and they've had a whole bunch of teacher strikes and things like that.

01:18:14.000 I, for one, think that it would be hilarious to watch Oklahoma just be run by a bunch of teachers.

01:18:18.000 But I agree with you.

01:18:21.000 I don't think that it's a very good strategy just to have Joe Schmo, anybody do it.

01:18:25.000 I mean, and that's got to really burn them a little bit more.

01:18:28.000 I mean, they got beat.

01:18:29.000 By a reality TV star so badly that they thought anybody can hold an elected office.

01:18:34.000 And it's simply not the case.

01:18:36.000 It bodes well for us.

01:18:37.000 I mean, even the more establishment types are paying lip service to the God Emperor at this point in one way or another, which is why I was so excited about the Mitt Romney thing.

01:18:47.000 Like, okay, you know, Kennedy might have a chance with him.

01:18:51.000 That's clearly not going to be the case.

01:18:53.000 I thought it was very telling when he came out and said Donald Trump's going to get elected in 2020.

01:18:59.000 So, not to be too terribly optimistic, but these people want their jobs.

01:19:03.000 So, maybe, maybe.

01:19:07.000 But Dan Donovan, speaking of a guy who wants to keep his job, looks like with 63% reporting in New York's 11th, 64 to 35, Mike Grimm, the evasion equation, fresh out of prison.

01:19:23.000 Doesn't look like it's going to work out for him.

01:19:25.000 He's not getting his old job.

01:19:27.000 Yeah, no, this is.

01:19:28.000 Oh, yeah, go ahead.

01:19:29.000 Go ahead, Nick.

01:19:30.000 All right, I'll go.

01:19:32.000 Yeah, this New York race is a big one. 1.00

01:19:34.000 I'm glad you brought that up.

01:19:35.000 I was actually just going to pivot to this one.

01:19:38.000 This is a race where you had Dan Donovan, who's got the supporting of the establishment.

01:19:42.000 He's got the money.

01:19:43.000 He's got the resources.

01:19:45.000 And like you said, Michael Grimm, who actually served jail time for some of his political crimes, he thought he was going to make some kind of a comeback.

01:19:52.000 This is actually, I think, a testament to the fact that Republicans are not going to make the mistake that Democrats will.

01:19:58.000 It's dubious whether or not Donovan or Grimm will be competitive with Rose.

01:20:02.000 The Democrats have been pretty confident about Rose being able to pull it off.

01:20:06.000 And both Republicans have said, I could beat the Democrat.

01:20:08.000 I could beat the Democrat.

01:20:09.000 But.

01:20:11.000 I think we saw some of the polls with Grimm ahead.

01:20:13.000 I haven't been looking closely at those numbers, but that we see Donovan with 63% reporting holding such a strong lead there, I think shows that Republicans are a little bit have better judgment.

01:20:26.000 Because Grimm had this Trumpian aspect he said he was the subject of a witch hunt and he was an outsider and this kind of stuff.

01:20:34.000 He attacked the media more along those lines.

01:20:38.000 And Donovan was more of the boring kind of candidate.

01:20:40.000 Not like.

01:20:41.000 You know, now we don't want people that are not crazy, but, you know, he wasn't throwing bombs all over the place.

01:20:47.000 And so I think that voters were able to see, okay, you know, obviously this guy's got a better chance of winning and they're turning out for him.

01:20:53.000 I think that bodes well.

01:20:54.000 I think that shows there's some good judgment.

01:20:57.000 I think we know where we're at at a party.

01:20:59.000 But go ahead, McPhills.

01:21:01.000 I just want to break in and say that the AP is reporting that Henry McMaster, who is Trump's endorsed candidate, has won in South Carolina against businessman John Warren.

01:21:11.000 So that's.

01:21:13.000 The media was poised to celebrate that loss.

01:21:17.000 They thought that it was going to be a loss as a defeat for Trump.

01:21:21.000 And of course, I think at the rally, Trump said the media is going to portray this as fake news to humiliate me.

01:21:28.000 And so McMaster has won.

01:21:29.000 So they have been robbed of another victory.

01:21:32.000 Yeah, very good.

01:21:33.000 And this is a big one because, you know, I think it just goes to show that the Trump endorsement, you know, even if this wasn't like a massive thing in and of itself, this is a big win for Trump because this demonstrates that Trump's endorsement.

01:21:45.000 Carries a lot of weight.

01:21:47.000 I saw some polls with this race, and some of them had John Warren up a little bit.

01:21:51.000 And so, once you consider that Trump came down there to Columbia the other day for a rally, he gave his very vocal support behind McMaster.

01:21:59.000 Even if McMaster was going to win anyway, it gives it kind of this magical effect where it's like, well, you know, Trump gave this full throated endorsement.

01:22:06.000 McMaster endorsed Trump early on, so he was eager to campaign for him.

01:22:11.000 So, that means that Trump carries a lot of weight in 2018.

01:22:14.000 And if Trump carries a lot of weight in 2018, his endorsement, his word, That's going to give him a lot of leverage and maybe some degree of control over the outcome of some of the legislative agenda and some of what goes on in the election.

01:22:26.000 So I think this is something necessary because we saw that he came out for Rick Sacone, or no, I'm sorry, he came out for Alabama.

01:22:35.000 Initially came out for, who was it?

01:22:39.000 Luther Strange.

01:22:40.000 That's right, Luther Strange.

01:22:41.000 It's all these spooky names Luther Strange and Grimm.

01:22:45.000 He should have stuck with Mo Brooks.

01:22:47.000 He should have gone with Mo Brooks.

01:22:48.000 They said it from the beginning.

01:22:49.000 It would have been a great play.

01:22:51.000 Yeah, but he backed Luther Strange. 0.99

01:22:53.000 That was a loser. 0.98

01:22:54.000 He backed Roy Moore. 1.00

01:22:55.000 That was a loser. 0.99

01:22:56.000 He backed Rick Sacone. 1.00

01:22:57.000 That was a loser. 0.97

01:22:58.000 And so I think this was much needed. 0.96

01:23:00.000 And I saw a poll the other day.

01:23:01.000 Trump's got a 90% approval rating within the party.

01:23:04.000 This is all good for Trump.

01:23:05.000 This is a big win for Trump.

01:23:07.000 They're not going to cover this one, obviously.

01:23:09.000 No, and it's another lesson too, because John Warren tried to frame himself as a Trump like outsider.

01:23:16.000 And, you know, it just shows like Rick Sacone, remember, was saying, I'm more Trump than Trump is.

01:23:22.000 I mean, it just shows.

01:23:24.000 And who else was it?

01:23:25.000 The guy in West Virginia that.

01:23:27.000 Don Blankenship.

01:23:29.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:23:29.000 Like you have to be more than just like pitching yourself as that.

01:23:34.000 And I was saying a while ago that you're going to see candidates, because the winning playbook has been written on how to do this.

01:23:41.000 And you're going to have candidates who are genuine and who are real.

01:23:43.000 And then you're going to have guys who LARP and pretend to be something that they're not.

01:23:48.000 And it's going to be a see through.

01:23:49.000 I mean, the only person that has the luxury of not needing to do that is Mitt Romney, who lives in a state, who's running for Senate in a state where he is racially, ideologically, and religiously favored.

01:24:02.000 And Mitt Romney could not win in any other state if not for those three things.

01:24:06.000 But he can afford to be the cuck, the insurgent cuck in Utah.

01:24:11.000 But you can't do that anywhere else.

01:24:12.000 The voters just don't want it.

01:24:14.000 And they saw that with Ed Gillespie.

01:24:16.000 They saw through the routine that you're not a real, authentic nationalist.

01:24:21.000 You don't want these things genuinely.

01:24:23.000 You're just going to get in there and be another shill for the Chamber of Commerce.

01:24:26.000 And that's not what people want.

01:24:28.000 Yeah.

01:24:28.000 Very strong point on that one.

01:24:30.000 And on Mitt Romney, you know, this is another interesting race, which, I mean, we know Mitt Romney's going to win, but this stuff is just crazy to me how anybody could vote for this guy.

01:24:39.000 I mean, we know he's going to win.

01:24:40.000 You know, it's not going to be a big surprise.

01:24:42.000 But, I mean, the idea that this guy, imagine living in Utah, this guy's in Massachusetts where he's governor.

01:24:48.000 He's, you know, He's totally sold you out to become one of these coastal elites.

01:24:52.000 He hasn't been in Utah forever, and he's going to come over there and then just become your senator.

01:24:57.000 You know, he was against Trump.

01:24:59.000 Well, now he's really for Trump, you know, and he was pro choice, pro Obamacare, all these other things, pro gun control.

01:25:06.000 Now he's against all these things.

01:25:08.000 It's just so difficult for me to watch and see this happen.

01:25:11.000 And the point that you made earlier about Mitt Romney, the real thing we're watching for in this race is how's he going to govern?

01:25:17.000 What's that going to look like?

01:25:18.000 You know, is he going to be a Democrat?

01:25:20.000 Is he going to be like John McCain and Jeff Flake?

01:25:22.000 Corker, or is he going to compromise?

01:25:25.000 Is he going to be like Marco Rubio, where he's you can negotiate with the guy?

01:25:28.000 I don't know.

01:25:29.000 And so I think that's going to be the key thing in that one, right?

01:25:33.000 Yeah, go ahead, Brian.

01:25:34.000 Oh, no, I was just going to say I mean, I think that Mitt Romney is such a fake guy that he'll give the pushback.

01:25:40.000 You're right, Jazzy wants to be the new John McCain, but there has to be some type of compromise.

01:25:45.000 I don't know.

01:25:46.000 We got to answer the Mormon question eventually, but this is a guy that said his favorite meat is hamburgers and hot dogs.

01:25:52.000 So he wants to be favorable.

01:25:55.000 With the people around him.

01:25:56.000 And I don't think that Salt Lake City or anything like that is going to be changing demographically anytime soon, but he still wants to keep his job.

01:26:05.000 When you see all these people start to bend the knee, again, not to be too terribly optimistic, the job matters to this guy more than governing in any particular way.

01:26:15.000 But if he had a choice, hamburgers and hot dogs, but if he had a choice, the choice would be hot dogs.

01:26:22.000 And he, I mean, how can you like a guy like that?

01:26:25.000 And his whole position, Is to, he knows that he's going to be a senator for life.

01:26:31.000 He knows that he's going to be able to do that.

01:26:33.000 In terms of a compromise, I mean, nobody's compromising with Jeff Flake.

01:26:38.000 Nobody's compromising with any of these guys.

01:26:39.000 So he's going to, I think he's going to have to go along to get along.

01:26:42.000 I think he will probably raise the red flag and virtue signal when Trump gets a little bit too close to subjects that he's not comfortable with and signal on the, you know, our values, et cetera.

01:26:57.000 But I don't think, I mean, look at Lindsey Graham.

01:26:59.000 Lindsey Graham has completely, now that John McCain is, his good friend John McCain is on his deathbed, Lindsey Graham has completely.

01:27:05.000 Capitulated to the Trump agenda. 0.98

01:27:07.000 He was saying last weekend, you know, the critics of me, you know, signing on to doing what Trump wants, be damned. 0.95

01:27:15.000 So, you know, Mitt, it's kind of funny all these knees have been. 0.96

01:27:18.000 I mean, it's Mitt is just going to get eviscerated by people on the internet.

01:27:25.000 He's going to get eviscerated, I think, by Trump eventually if he goes too hard.

01:27:30.000 So there's going to be a certain degree of going along to get along.

01:27:33.000 But in terms of compromise, it's like, what does he have to demand?

01:27:38.000 It's kind of like, He can make these demands, but I guess just to signal there's nothing he has to trade.

01:27:45.000 Maybe his vote, I don't know.

01:27:46.000 Yeah.

01:27:46.000 Well, I mean, the trick with the Senate is that, depending on what the majority is going to look like after the midterms, he could wield a tremendous amount of leverage, you know, because you saw the same thing with the Obamacare vote, where John McCain sunk the whole thing with one vote.

01:28:02.000 When you have such a slim majority, every vote counts.

01:28:05.000 If it's directly down party lines and you have a 51 vote majority with a tiebreaker, that can be problematic.

01:28:11.000 So that's what I'm really worried about is that John.

01:28:14.000 Or rather, Mitt Romney gets in there and he basically acts as a Democrat.

01:28:17.000 He acts to impede the Trump administration, Republican in name only.

01:28:22.000 And look, maybe he gets elected, he serves one term.

01:28:27.000 By the end of the term, if one guy and him in concert with the other establishment Republicans and the other forces against Trump can assist in impeding the Trump administration within six years, Trump is either finished with his second term or he never serves a second term.

01:28:44.000 Either case, Mitt Romney has sold himself out for a seat at the table and whatever comes after Trump.

01:28:49.000 So that's the prospect that really scares me is that, you know, Trump, I think, will absolutely bully the hell out of Mitt Romney. 0.98

01:28:57.000 He'll bust his balls, you know, Mitt, drop to your knees, that kind of thing. 0.91

01:29:00.000 I think there'll be a lot of leverage on the White House side, but if Mitt Romney's, like, biding his time, if he's waiting for 2024, that's something that should make us a little bit anxious. 0.97

01:29:12.000 Unless we get rid of the nuclear rule or the.

01:29:15.000 You know, we make it so that we could pass laws in the Senate with just 51, and maybe we get 52 or 53 after the midterms.

01:29:21.000 He could be a real obstacle.

01:29:23.000 So he worries me a little bit.

01:29:25.000 I think that's something absolutely to be worried about. 0.92

01:29:28.000 But, gentlemen, I regret to inform you that Chelsea Manning has lost Shim's Senate run here. 0.94

01:29:37.000 It is so we are going to get a photo.

01:29:39.000 We are going to get a rooftop vote.

01:29:42.000 Yes.

01:29:46.000 Ah, brutal. 1.00

01:29:46.000 Well, you know, she got 4.8%. 1.00

01:29:48.000 That's.

01:29:49.000 A few times more than somebody else I know.

01:29:52.000 Well, I'm not going to name names.

01:29:54.000 I expect this because I saw this earlier coming out of Maryland.

01:29:58.000 80,000 voters have to cast provisional ballots because they either moved or changed parties.

01:30:05.000 So there was some computer glitch or something.

01:30:07.000 So, I mean, I don't know.

01:30:08.000 It could have been a lot closer for all Private Manning.

01:30:14.000 Yeah, no, that was a real interesting case there.

01:30:19.000 It's funny to me because what the stress of.

01:30:22.000 Running for a race she knew she was going to lose drove her to depression or something.

01:30:26.000 Or, no, I think she said it was like she disappointed her trans friend or his trans friends.

01:30:31.000 I cannot, I always do this on accident.

01:30:33.000 I've only known Chelsea Manning as a girl.

01:30:35.000 I didn't, I was not aware of this person when this person was presenting as Bradley Manning.

01:30:42.000 And so I did a whole show where I was calling Bradley Manning she.

01:30:46.000 And people in my comments ripped me to shreds.

01:30:49.000 They were like, You're cucking to the New World Order.

01:30:52.000 I'll never watch your show again. 0.94

01:30:53.000 You called him a she. 1.00

01:30:55.000 It's like, I don't really care that much. 1.00

01:30:58.000 I'm not saying she because I believe it.

01:30:59.000 I'm saying it's just kind of arbitrary to me.

01:31:02.000 But yeah, I guess we're glad Mr. Bradley Mannon got put away finally. 0.98

01:31:08.000 Well, it's so funny because they put these people in these positions to run, these horrible losers that can't win a race. 0.50

01:31:17.000 And they put them in these high stress situations. 0.73

01:31:19.000 And running for public office is no easy task.

01:31:21.000 It's very little sleep.

01:31:23.000 You're just run into the ground by the time it's all over.

01:31:27.000 And they're running for these positions.

01:31:29.000 That they can never hope to win, and they're just wearing themselves out.

01:31:32.000 And I mean, you know, Nick, I know you're talking about the Supreme Court decision and some of the other things going on today, but the shot in Freud on the internet today, my God, the tears, it's moved from tears to depression and despair.

01:31:51.000 People are talking about leaving the country and quitting.

01:31:53.000 I mean, I just am, oh man, there's all this salt, like I love it.

01:31:58.000 And the fact that, you know, he, she, whatever, Tried to run for the seat and just got blown out at 4.8%.

01:32:06.000 It's just fantastic.

01:32:08.000 Well, that's still second, though.

01:32:10.000 Like, how do you think Ben Cardin feels?

01:32:12.000 Or, worse yet, Debbie Wilson.

01:32:13.000 You know, it's like, pretty sure Debbie Wilson's a real girl.

01:32:16.000 Yeah.

01:32:19.000 That's got a sting.

01:32:20.000 Well, you know, he, Bradley Manning,'s got name recognition.

01:32:20.000 Yeah.

01:32:25.000 So, you know, I guess that's a part of it. 1.00

01:32:27.000 But you do make a good point about driving these wackos to go into public office or to run because it is a high stress environment. 1.00

01:32:34.000 Um, but you know, just thank God we've been spared from something like that. 1.00

01:32:37.000 It's at least 50 years or maybe 20 years before we see something like that actually happen.

01:32:42.000 Um, oh, well, I mean, don't forget about Virginia, Nick.

01:32:45.000 Don't you remember the person, the individual who got elected in Virginia?

01:32:50.000 Um, I forget that, that, that individual's name, but there's one in public office right now in the House of Delegates.

01:32:56.000 Um, hopefully not the U.S. Senate anytime soon, if that's what you meant, but, but yeah, it's, uh, they're pushing the boundaries.

01:33:03.000 Uh, yeah.

01:33:03.000 Yeah.

01:33:04.000 It's, uh, 2070, right?

01:33:05.000 But we've got a, we've got a new, um, We've got a new victory here to announce.

01:33:11.000 My studio mode isn't really working on OBS, but that's all right.

01:33:15.000 We've got a decision called in the U.S. House District 11.

01:33:20.000 Dan Donovan has secured the Republican nomination in New York's 11th district, 64.3% of the vote, 95% reporting, which is good because, you know, this is something we talked a lot about in the California primary.

01:33:34.000 Me and Bryden, we were having a lot of audio issues on that show.

01:33:38.000 We talked a lot about this how every race matters.

01:33:42.000 You look at Any of the, whether it's Larry Sabato's crystal ball, whether it's 270 to win, whether it's real clear politics, Republicans have about 210 seats.

01:33:53.000 They need to secure eight to win.

01:33:55.000 And if there's going to be a big blue wave, if Democrats are leading by six points in the generic ballot, and we're not totally compensating for that with structural advantages like the gerrymandered districts from 2010, then it's very easy for them to snatch it up.

01:34:10.000 What I mean by that is it's ultra competitive.

01:34:12.000 Every race matters.

01:34:13.000 So, you know, when you see these small races like this, you might not care normally what happens in New York's 11th district in Staten Island.

01:34:21.000 But in this kind of case, it matters immensely that we have a slightly better candidate like Dan Donovan than Michael Grimm, who may have a fighting chance to beat Max Rose in 2018.

01:34:31.000 Maybe that's one less seat we have to worry about.

01:34:33.000 So every race counts in 2018.

01:34:36.000 It's only 26 seats the Democrats have got to recover before they're able to clinch a majority in the House.

01:34:44.000 So I think that's a good win.

01:34:47.000 Yeah, we definitely shouldn't take anything for granted.

01:34:50.000 What you were saying back to Mitt Romney a little bit is the Senate map is actually very, very optimistic about how the Senate is going to look.

01:35:00.000 And I hope we don't end up in a situation where Mitt Romney ends up being the tie breaking vote.

01:35:05.000 Maybe, you know, in a subsequent election, it'll change.

01:35:10.000 But we stand to gain a significant number of Senate seats.

01:35:13.000 Again, I don't want to be too overly optimistic about that.

01:35:16.000 And every seat does count, especially in the House.

01:35:19.000 But the Senate's going to be looking pretty good.

01:35:21.000 And I mean, I'm already looking at guys like Bob Corker and Jeff Flake and John McCain.

01:35:27.000 I mean, those are huge victories all in themselves because they didn't require a fight.

01:35:31.000 They didn't require any money.

01:35:33.000 They didn't require any voting.

01:35:34.000 They're just gone.

01:35:35.000 I mean, they're going to be gone.

01:35:37.000 And that's that.

01:35:38.000 Those are three major voices.

01:35:40.000 Lindsey Graham has been neutralized.

01:35:43.000 I guess that's why Mitt Romney gets to carry the mantle.

01:35:48.000 And there'll be some signaling, but a lot of those people are going to be gone.

01:35:51.000 And it's great.

01:35:52.000 I mean, everybody else's knee has bent.

01:35:54.000 So, yeah, yeah, a lot of bent knees.

01:35:57.000 And, you know, with the Senate map, I am overly optimistic, you know, because we really have to worry about the House, but the Senate, we might actually be able to pick up seats.

01:36:07.000 And this is something I've been talking a lot about on my 2018 election podcast.

01:36:12.000 All the Democrat states, or rather, what is it, like 24 out of 32 seats that are up for grabs are Democrats.

01:36:19.000 And only two of the Republican incumbent seats are actually contested, which are, I think it's Nevada.

01:36:26.000 And it's Nevada and I think Indiana, right?

01:36:30.000 No, no, I'm sorry.

01:36:30.000 The incumbent is Joe Donnelly.

01:36:32.000 So there's only two that are contested for Republicans, but we could easily pick up North Dakota, where it's Heidi Heitkamp, who voted for Obamacare, who voted against the tax reform.

01:36:43.000 Kevin Kramer's a pretty competent guy.

01:36:45.000 I looked into that race a couple of weeks ago.

01:36:47.000 Indiana, the polling is looking very good for Mike Braun.

01:36:50.000 Joe Donnelly got in basically on like a fluke.

01:36:53.000 Florida, the polling is great for Rick Scott.

01:36:56.000 So even if, and also in Missouri, the polling trade for Josh Hawley, If you look at just those four races, which I just kind of filled in here aside from the others, we're up to 53 Senate seats.

01:37:07.000 West Virginia, if Joe Manchin gets in, he said he might vote for Trump on some things.

01:37:11.000 If the Republican gets in, he'll vote for Trump on things.

01:37:14.000 You could probably count that one.

01:37:15.000 We're looking at, I think, a conservative estimate is that we get 40, or rather 54 seats.

01:37:21.000 So even if Mitt Romney doesn't vote with us, that's 53.

01:37:23.000 That's more than we have before.

01:37:25.000 So I think it's looking very good in the Senate.

01:37:28.000 I'm very optimistic about that.

01:37:30.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:37:32.000 Just a little bit of pretty inconsequential news, but we do have Mississippi results here.

01:37:40.000 Yeah, it's David Barria.

01:37:40.000 What's his name?

01:37:43.000 He'll be running for the Democrats in the Senate.

01:37:47.000 And then that's in the House and the third district.

01:37:51.000 You have Michael Guest beat Whit Hughes.

01:37:55.000 So, not that anybody was paying attention to those, but they did happen tonight.

01:37:59.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:38:00.000 Well, no, I mean, yeah, we got to wait still on the.

01:38:06.000 It looks like New York, a lot of it's coming in.

01:38:08.000 The only races we're watching right now are the, we're watching the gubernatorial for Maryland.

01:38:15.000 I don't think a decision has been made.

01:38:16.000 We're watching the 4th district of South Carolina.

01:38:20.000 Or no, I'm sorry.

01:38:23.000 It's the 4th district in, no, I'm sorry, for the Republicans.

01:38:26.000 So it's Timmons and Lee Bright.

01:38:28.000 This is the one we're watching.

01:38:29.000 So we only got a couple more and then Utah.

01:38:33.000 And those are the big races, right?

01:38:36.000 Yeah, I think that's it.

01:38:38.000 Do we get Oklahoma?

01:38:39.000 Oklahoma's, I mean, that's more of just Republican priming, and it's very deep red there.

01:38:44.000 Did you say Oklahoma?

01:38:45.000 No, I haven't seen any big ones in Oklahoma.

01:38:49.000 Not any real significant ones.

01:38:51.000 I know there were some where they said, you know, it's strong red, but it's, you know, this Republican versus that Republican.

01:38:58.000 It's going to be a big contest.

01:39:00.000 But, you know, generally speaking, I don't think there's really too much to read into any of these.

01:39:05.000 Well, another thing I wanted to say about the Senate when you're talking about the seats.

01:39:09.000 You only need a simple majority to break filibuster.

01:39:14.000 So they're going to, especially with what we hope will be a retirement from Kennedy, what we hope will be a retirement or just kicking the bucket of Ginsburg, you won't have, Trump will be able to get more of better Supreme Court nominees through the Senate without having to get something that's going to break a filibuster.

01:39:36.000 You're going to have to peel people off.

01:39:37.000 You'll be able to get somebody pretty good.

01:39:40.000 I think when did they vote to change that?

01:39:41.000 It was April 6, 2017.

01:39:44.000 Yeah, the Republican controlled Senate voted 52 to 48 to require only a majority vote to end a filibuster of Supreme Court nominees.

01:39:50.000 So that'll be a big thing, especially with today's decision.

01:39:54.000 We're hoping for a lot of other better decisions going forward.

01:39:58.000 And if we can shore up two more seats on the bench, that'd be fantastic.

01:40:03.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:40:04.000 I mean, we really just have to protect one House.

01:40:07.000 You know, I think if we lost one House, that would basically be catastrophic.

01:40:12.000 But as long as we have one chamber, we're going to secure ourselves from.

01:40:16.000 Any kind of impeachment attempt or any kind of issue about not being able to get a SCOTUS nominee through.

01:40:23.000 So I think we're in a really strong position here.

01:40:25.000 Really, what we have to worry about right now is the House.

01:40:29.000 But actually, the numbers that I've seen on the House, I've seen a couple of different estimates.

01:40:33.000 I've seen anywhere between 7% and 11%, they say is the minimum that Democrats need to be leading on the generic ballot for them to win a majority, which if you look at the generic ballot, they are barely scraping that.

01:40:47.000 The average right now is they're up by six points in the generic ballot.

01:40:52.000 Republicans have rebounded pretty significantly from where they were earlier in the week.

01:40:56.000 And if the minimum they need is seven, and that's the most liberal estimate, or rather the most conservative estimate, liberally you could say they need 11 points.

01:41:05.000 Six is not going to cut it.

01:41:06.000 Sometimes they were at three or four points, and we still got a lot of great things on tap for Trump later on in the year.

01:41:13.000 Democrats are really going to have a hard time here, I think, in these House races.

01:41:17.000 I think they thought they were going to kind of waltz in.

01:41:19.000 And they were going to blow everybody away.

01:41:21.000 You know, they were talking about being competitive in Texas in the beginning of the year.

01:41:25.000 Now it's looking like it's going to be ultra competitive right on through.

01:41:28.000 And that alone, I think, is something to be optimistic about.

01:41:32.000 Well, speaking of the blue wave, I think everybody remembers when old, oh, what's the raging Cajun got on TV and was like, oh, the Democrats are over.

01:41:40.000 Well, we don't know what to do.

01:41:42.000 And then it was immediately afterwards that this whole blue wave talk started.

01:41:46.000 And we haven't seen it really at all.

01:41:49.000 They're a party that's falling apart.

01:41:50.000 And, uh, To that point, what is it?

01:41:54.000 The Colorado Six with Levi Tilleman.

01:41:57.000 He's losing now to the establishment endorsed Jason Crow by quite a lot at 67 to 32, 70% reporting.

01:42:05.000 So I don't think that the far left, the dingbat wing of the left, is going to be able to actually get their candidates out there. 0.71

01:42:14.000 And hopefully that leads to a lot of these long haired stoners just not voting at all or writing in, you know, Bernie Sanders or Mickey Mouse. 0.52

01:42:22.000 So it's fun stuff.

01:42:24.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:42:25.000 I just ran a quick simulation on, RCP.

01:42:29.000 This is actually a pretty cool little tool.

01:42:32.000 You put in the approval rating, the average approval rating, and you click off some of the different characteristics of the race.

01:42:41.000 For example, in Alabama, is it a safe seat?

01:42:44.000 Is the incumbent running?

01:42:45.000 You click all the boxes, you simulate it, and it gives you a pretty nice estimate.

01:42:45.000 Et cetera, et cetera.

01:42:50.000 So just while you're going over that, I plugged in his current approval rating, which is 43.

01:42:55.000 And if you have that approval rating, all these things being equal, you have.

01:43:01.000 Out of 1,000 simulations, you have 94.9% giving the Republicans between 51 and 55 senators.

01:43:09.000 So a 95% chance they get their majority in the Senate.

01:43:12.000 So it's looking very good for them there, no doubt about that.

01:43:16.000 And it's just out of curiosity, I want to plug in the.

01:43:19.000 What is the latest Rasmussen number?

01:43:22.000 Do you guys know?

01:43:24.000 I want to plug in the Rasmussen polling number because I think we look at the average, and the average is kind of usually lower than what it actually is.

01:43:31.000 I don't really trust the average from.

01:43:35.000 The Rasmussen number from today is 46.

01:43:37.000 So let's just say high.

01:43:38.000 And that's a pretty low number from what Rasmussen's been reporting, sometimes 50, 51.

01:43:43.000 In this case, out of 93% of simulations, Republicans get between 53 and 57 senators.

01:43:49.000 So very good stuff. 0.62

01:43:51.000 Red wave is real.

01:43:52.000 We got to meme the red wave into reality for this election, right?

01:43:56.000 I got to tell you, I don't like the idea of calling it a red wave.

01:44:00.000 You know, it gets me a little grossed out.

01:44:02.000 I think of the shining, you know.

01:44:05.000 I've heard red wall, I like that a lot better.

01:44:07.000 But that's never going to catch on.

01:44:09.000 The president's already said red wave, so I'm out of luck. 0.97

01:44:12.000 Yeah, I know.

01:44:13.000 Well, and we got to be careful, though, about being complacent.

01:44:16.000 That's the thing that scares me the most at this point we want to maintain a healthy balance of insecurity, but also confidence, where people are not like so dismayed that they're, you know, it's like, who cares?

01:44:29.000 It doesn't matter if I vote anyway, I'm going to go home.

01:44:31.000 But also, it's not, we're doing so well that my vote doesn't matter, I'll stay home, which, you know, I think both of these things happen to the Democrats in some countries.

01:44:39.000 Capacity in 2016, a little bit of a combination where at once they were led to believe that they were so far ahead.

01:44:47.000 I don't think anybody believed that they weren't going to win, but you see these things happen on both sides.

01:44:52.000 So I think we got to be careful to remember that every vote counts, but we've got a real shot here.

01:44:57.000 Yeah, we do.

01:44:58.000 And this is another reason why I think it would be wise if Paul Ryan and Mark Short and everybody else on Capitol Hill who's trying to push these amnesty bills through at this.

01:45:10.000 Late hour should stop.

01:45:12.000 And the president has suggested this on Twitter as well.

01:45:16.000 They continue to push for this.

01:45:17.000 Sure enough, the generic ballot poll dips by five points.

01:45:20.000 It was trending in a very positive direction ever since January, really gaining on the Democrats.

01:45:26.000 Remember how upside down it was in January, then February, then March.

01:45:30.000 But then, you know, sure enough, they start talking about amnesty and it dips and now it's recovered because those bills are killed.

01:45:36.000 And so they really, Paul Ryan, you know, I don't know that a Hotly contested speakers' race would be good at this very moment.

01:45:46.000 But the fact that Paul Ryan's still there and still trying to eke out something, anything, so that he doesn't have to say that he sold his soul just for tax cuts.

01:45:56.000 I mean, obviously, he's got his eyes set on a $4 million a year K Street job.

01:46:02.000 But, you know, this is all part of this amnesty push.

01:46:05.000 He says it's to thwart the discharge petition.

01:46:08.000 But I have said that the discharge petition vote would actually be great because it would put all these, a lot of these Republicans on record as being pro amnesty and might have a shot at getting some of them out of there.

01:46:20.000 But Paul Ryan wants to believe that he's thwarting this effort by putting his own version of amnesty, Chamber of Commerce laden.

01:46:30.000 Bill out there only to fail, and you know that's not what people want.

01:46:33.000 People were pissed and upset.

01:46:35.000 Now, that does mobilize them to make phone calls, and it did succeed in getting it shut down.

01:46:40.000 But, but yeah, I wouldn't have wanted, um, and I don't think Trump has this in mind, but it would not have been advantageous for a bill to advance that was a clean DACA fix, not clean DACA fix, but a DACA fix with wall funding because then Trump would have said, Well, we got the wall, and then what do people have to be interested in, excited about?

01:47:01.000 Um, you know, we want a complete Immigration reform package.

01:47:04.000 I think that's what Trump wants as well.

01:47:07.000 And the fact that you have to elect the right candidates to get there, it's a little bit of stick and carrot.

01:47:12.000 But the truth is, Trump can't get these things with the current Congress.

01:47:17.000 You can't.

01:47:18.000 He's got to have better people in there to be able to get a more conservative version of the Goodlatte bill on the table.

01:47:25.000 And by conservative, I mean all of the things that Trump has asked for.

01:47:29.000 So it's going to take some doing, but I think that's what's going to, immigration is the number one issue.

01:47:34.000 That's what's going to get people out to the polls.

01:47:36.000 The crisis on the border.

01:47:37.000 People feel like they're under attack.

01:47:39.000 I'm not saying that it's good to let that continue unabated, but that is certainly some voters may feel like if there's nothing to worry about, they're comfortable, they're not going to show up to vote.

01:47:53.000 And I think people need to be driven to the polls.

01:47:55.000 Every election counts, every vote counts.

01:47:58.000 Yeah, that's a good point about creating some kind of anxiety.

01:48:03.000 I hesitate to say create anxiety among the voter base, but he has been walking this very careful balance of, and I've been to a couple of the rallies at this point.

01:48:12.000 And once the talking point is, I've done more in my 500 days than any other president in history.

01:48:17.000 I've done more than I promised, blah, blah.

01:48:19.000 But at the same time, it's if you want it to stay like this, if you want immigration, if you want this and that, you've got to vote for the right people.

01:48:26.000 And I think he's walking that line pretty expertly, where because to go too hard in any direction creates problems.

01:48:33.000 If you say, well, you got to elect the right people or else I can't work, well, people say, well, why did we elect you in the first place if you couldn't get anything done?

01:48:40.000 But if you say, well, I got everything done, And there's nothing to worry about, well, then people get complacent.

01:48:45.000 So I think Trump is doing a very good job of at once demonstrating to people that he is competent, that you get what you pay for, basically.

01:48:53.000 You're going to get the goods that you were promised, but at the same time saying, you know, we have a long way to go here still.

01:48:59.000 We still have a lot of work to do.

01:49:01.000 Like you say, we don't have the right people in the Congress to get the immigration package we need, to get other things that we need.

01:49:08.000 And so I think that's been very effective.

01:49:10.000 If you've been to any of the rallies, especially in these swing states, The messaging has been extremely on point.

01:49:14.000 And on immigration, he's gotten stronger.

01:49:17.000 You know, I thought the amnesty thing, or rather the children at the border thing, was a little bit confused at first.

01:49:24.000 But since the executive order he signed, it's been so good on immigration in terms of the rhetoric, talking about Europe, talking about being tough and separating children and all the rest.

01:49:34.000 I mean, it's been everything that we heard, I think, in the primary, in the 2015, 2016 primaries.

01:49:40.000 So I think we're moving in with a pretty strong hand.

01:49:43.000 I think Trump is as well.

01:49:47.000 I don't want to get too upset over it, but one thing that I have been seeing in the media after the whole kids thing and all of that was Trump bows to pressure, Trump bows to pressure.

01:49:58.000 And we can't get all caught up in what the media says because the guy could do anything and it could cure three forms of cancer and they're going to say he didn't cure all the cancer.

01:50:07.000 But I think it is important to note what the media is doing.

01:50:10.000 And if there's one good thing that if Donald Trump never did anything else, he never got the wall built, he never did anything, at least he got so much distrust.

01:50:18.000 In the actual opponents of anything good in the world, and that's the media.

01:50:25.000 So, I mean, you saw that grandma at this last rally just yelling at Jim Acosta, and I think he's going to ruin her life.

01:50:33.000 But I agree completely about the rhetoric.

01:50:35.000 I think that's nice.

01:50:36.000 We're up to 2016 levels, and we got to remember that he's campaigning now again.

01:50:41.000 I just hope that he ends up campaigning for the right people.

01:50:44.000 I don't want to see another Luther Strange situation because some bad people got in his ear.

01:50:49.000 We saw that in what Alabama.

01:50:51.000 Where he's now endorsed, was it Martha Roby instead of the ex Democrat who was rather conservative in his voting record, Bright?

01:51:03.000 So it could be hit or miss.

01:51:04.000 I mean, he went really hard against Bright on Twitter, and Martha Roby was like, I would never like this guy and what have you about a year before.

01:51:13.000 So his rhetoric can be a little bit, and I'm going to sound bad here, a little dangerous to some of our guys if he's got the wrong people in his ear.

01:51:21.000 Yeah, I think that's definitely a valid point.

01:51:24.000 I think it's just a lot about the balance because, you know, what's tough about these elections is the way they've been nationalized.

01:51:33.000 And so the trick is that what Trump may say about an issue in one state might be a winner, and then in another state might not be such a winner.

01:51:41.000 You know, like when we talked about the California primaries, the kinds of things that Trump might say to get people fired up in South Carolina or in Pennsylvania, it's not the same kind of things they're going to be able to fly in certain districts in California, in New York.

01:51:56.000 In some of these other states.

01:51:57.000 And so when you look at cobbling together some kind of a pathway to 218 votes, 218 seats, we have to be mindful that it's spread out all over the country, these swing races.

01:52:09.000 And so I definitely agree there's a balance that has to be struck.

01:52:12.000 We have to be really careful about the rhetoric because it's not going to be the same as 2016.

01:52:19.000 You know, the Democrats are focused, they are there, they're energized.

01:52:23.000 And to match that, we're going to need to basically not make mistakes like we did in some of the races you mentioned before.

01:52:29.000 So.

01:52:30.000 So we'll see what happens.

01:52:31.000 But the ones that we're waiting on right now, and I don't know, maybe we'll give it another half hour or so.

01:52:37.000 We're looking at the 4th district in South Carolina, the one you were talking about just a moment ago, which is Timmons versus Bright.

01:52:45.000 Sorry, sorry.

01:52:45.000 Oh, different deal.

01:52:46.000 I realized I might have been confusing there.

01:52:47.000 Different Bright.

01:52:48.000 I was talking about Bobby Bright down in Alabama.

01:52:52.000 Yeah, different guy.

01:52:53.000 A lot of bright people out there.

01:52:54.000 Yeah, right.

01:52:54.000 That's right.

01:52:55.000 It's all these names, right?

01:52:56.000 But yeah, Timmons and Bright were watching in South Carolina 54 to 45, only 76% reporting.

01:53:03.000 And then we're also still waiting on Maryland gubernatorial primary for the Democrats, where they've got, let me take a look, 32% reporting.

01:53:14.000 So we'll see what happens.

01:53:15.000 But I think the important ones have been, you know, we're watching the key races, but the important key races have basically been determined and with pretty good results, you know.

01:53:25.000 I'm pretty satisfied with the night so far.

01:53:27.000 Would you guys say the same?

01:53:30.000 There are no takeaways for the Democrats so far.

01:53:32.000 I mean, they are not, they can't, you know, Donovan won, so they can't.

01:53:36.000 They can't tout that a Fallon won.

01:53:40.000 Trump's McMaster won in South Carolina.

01:53:43.000 So they can't say that Trump's guy.

01:53:45.000 And that's really the biggest one.

01:53:47.000 They will celebrate and circle the wagons around Mitt Romney, but that's really kind of meaningless.

01:53:53.000 I think most people don't.

01:53:55.000 It's kind of a shoo in.

01:53:56.000 The best part about that race, though, was that he had to run a primary at all because he failed to get 50% at the convention against Kennedy.

01:54:05.000 And I was actually kind of hoping that Kennedy would beat him.

01:54:08.000 I mean, that would just be.

01:54:10.000 Just desserts for Mitt Romney if he did not actually win the primary.

01:54:14.000 But it sounds like based on the polling that he's going to.

01:54:17.000 When do the polls close in Utah?

01:54:17.000 So I don't know.

01:54:19.000 I'm not even sure.

01:54:20.000 I've been trying to find it.

01:54:21.000 I found it for everything else.

01:54:23.000 But on New York Times, I keep clicking the Utah tab and it's telling me I got to buy a subscription for eight bucks.

01:54:31.000 This is why I was incognito, but I guess I exhausted even in the incognito.

01:54:35.000 Let me see if I could swing it in a different window real quick.

01:54:41.000 New York Times is saying their first results are expected at 10 05 Eastern.

01:54:46.000 So it's going to be zero for at least a couple more minutes.

01:54:50.000 Yes, just about seven minutes.

01:54:52.000 Yeah.

01:54:52.000 Well, speaking of rhetoric, I saw in the New Republic just not too long ago the headline By Not Calling for the Abolition of ICE, Bernie Sanders is Undermining His Position as the Nation's Most Prominent Left Wing Politician.

01:55:07.000 So they're really running with this narrative of abolishing ICE.

01:55:11.000 I saw this DSA guy from New York.

01:55:14.000 Was out there saying that the centrist position should be abolishing ICE and the leftist position should be prosecuting ICE.

01:55:20.000 And of course, prosecution in quotes, because it's not going to be done by the courts, it's going to be done by their mob. 0.94

01:55:26.000 So it's kind of funny that they're trying to shit test Bernie Sanders on the abolition of ICE and he actually cucked on this. 0.98

01:55:34.000 And you have David Axelrod cucking on impeachment. 0.99

01:55:37.000 You have Nancy Pelosi cucking on impeachment.

01:55:40.000 So, you know, we talk about the rhetoric on our side and politicians like Mitt Romney coming out and kind of spoiling.

01:55:46.000 Um, you know, a lot of the rhetoric that's coming from Trump, but the left is really losing control of their narrative.

01:55:52.000 They have split factions.

01:55:54.000 You have people like Bernie Sanders, who was supposed to be their most progressive candidate, uh, that could get on a ballot anyway.

01:56:00.000 Um, and now you know, you have they're trying, they they tested them on guns on the gun ban, and that became a big thing until it wasn't until they realized how damaging it was to run around and ask people on record, on camera, are you in favor of an assault weapons ban?

01:56:15.000 I mean, Claire McCaskill.

01:56:16.000 And Heidi Heitkamp are like running for the hills when they see someone coming with a microphone to ask that question. 1.00

01:56:22.000 But now they're doing it on abolition of ICE. 0.71

01:56:25.000 And if they start doing that to candidates in states where there is a huge problem with MS-13 violence and all kinds of stuff, which is a lot of places, this isn't good.

01:56:37.000 So it's great.

01:56:38.000 I think it's hilarious that Bernie is actually saying that he's not willing to sign on to this.

01:56:45.000 Yeah.

01:56:46.000 Well, go ahead, Brian.

01:56:47.000 Oh, yeah, we've got it officially.

01:56:50.000 Joe Crowley of the New York 14th has been knocked out.

01:56:55.000 He's been primaried here.

01:56:56.000 You have the hyper progressive Alexandria Ocasio Cortez will be going off against old Tony Potatoes. 1.00

01:57:02.000 So we actually might have a shot at that because she's crazy. 0.94

01:57:08.000 I mean, go check out our website. 1.00

01:57:09.000 This gal is just nuts. 1.00

01:57:10.000 So they're either going to have to go for it, the whole full blast abolish ice, or, you know, a sensible conservative fella. 1.00

01:57:21.000 Yeah, let me pull up her website real quick and see what's going on there because this is a big problem for the Democrats.

01:57:27.000 And this is maybe the problem with all that blue wave type talk because the kinds of people that got really fired up and jazzed up to go and vote in the primaries and participate in the process, it's the nut bars.

01:57:42.000 The party has been driven so far to the left, and in large measure, I think Trump has forced them that, like you said, Jazz, with the left, the centrist position for them is abolishing ICE, the left position is prosecuting them in this kind of French Revolution style directory.

01:58:01.000 Mob.

01:58:02.000 And so I think you're seeing with the gun issue, the crime issue, a lot of these issues where you have like white people voting, it's going to be a big problem for Democrats because these are not satisfactory policies for most people.

01:58:15.000 I'm looking at this person right now. 0.98

01:58:16.000 She looks like some like just standard shit lib. 1.00

01:58:19.000 Yeah, what's her platform? 1.00

01:58:21.000 Medicare for all, housing is a human right, federal jobs guarantee, assault weapons ban.

01:58:27.000 What else do we have?

01:58:28.000 And private prisons.

01:58:30.000 Yeah, the whole gambit.

01:58:31.000 Yeah, like police.

01:58:33.000 Release all the criminals out onto the streets, like abolish ICE, open borders, ban all guns.

01:58:39.000 I mean, like, what else are we missing here?

01:58:43.000 Yeah, wow, this is really something.

01:58:44.000 Oh, boy, we got the whole acronym here support LGBTQIA, support seniors.

01:58:50.000 What does that even mean? 0.69

01:58:51.000 Curb Wall Street, gambling, restore Glass Steagall.

01:58:54.000 Whoops.

01:58:55.000 Okay, I think we've hit them all.

01:58:57.000 So this is almost crazier, Bryden, than that gubernatorial candidate in California.

01:59:02.000 What was his name?

01:59:03.000 What was it?

01:59:04.000 Governor Wildstar.

01:59:06.000 Wildstar, yeah.

01:59:07.000 It's almost as bad as that.

01:59:08.000 I mean, geez.

01:59:10.000 Who endorsed her?

01:59:11.000 Karl Marx?

01:59:13.000 I mean, she's now. 1.00

01:59:14.000 I mean, how would you like to be Joe Crowley right now and be like, ah, that's what she'll lose to is some hot and spicy Latina. 1.00

01:59:21.000 So they have to support her now. 1.00

01:59:24.000 They've got to rally behind this.

01:59:26.000 And the DSA, I'm sure, is going to tout this as a major win.

01:59:29.000 But say what you want about old Anthony Pampas.

01:59:34.000 He's not going to be saying, like, I'm going to give you a bunch of free stuff.

01:59:38.000 And it's going to come from, I don't know, nowhere.

01:59:41.000 Her whole commercials, everything about her is, I'm a mom and a teacher.

01:59:45.000 And here's this really crummy place that I still live in New York because I don't care enough about my children. 1.00

01:59:50.000 And it's just a minority ridden thing. 1.00

01:59:52.000 There's not one white kid in there.

01:59:54.000 So maybe that'll work for her, but it doesn't seem to be trending that way.

02:00:01.000 I don't know why they don't understand that appealing to people who can't vote. 0.99

02:00:06.000 At least not yet, is not going to work too well for you. 0.92

02:00:10.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:00:12.000 She's kind of cute. 1.00

02:00:13.000 She's kind of got a good look to her. 1.00

02:00:15.000 Like you said, she's not a thick Latina. 1.00

02:00:17.000 She's not thick. 0.99

02:00:18.000 You're right about that. 1.00

02:00:20.000 She's kind of cute. 1.00

02:00:21.000 She's got a cute face. 0.92

02:00:22.000 She's got these very, like, India, you know, I guess it's India because it's feminine features, you know.

02:00:28.000 But that's all right. 0.66

02:00:29.000 Yeah.

02:00:30.000 I think, like you said, this is pretty much a net good for us.

02:00:34.000 Where, for most people, Anthony Papas is going to be the reasonable.

02:00:39.000 Kind of a guy.

02:00:39.000 And if you don't have an incumbent, you lose your advantage.

02:00:42.000 You know, even if it's a Democrat, like left wing kind of a district, now it's going to be a fight.

02:00:47.000 Hey, who knows?

02:00:48.000 You know, I don't know what the skew is for parties in this district, but, you know, I think one of the biggest misconceptions that the Democrats and even our side has had is that, like, changing demographics will inevitably have Democrat winners.

02:01:02.000 It gives them, like, a massive advantage.

02:01:04.000 It's hard to screw it up, but it's by no means impossible to screw it up.

02:01:09.000 And I think we saw that with Hillary Clinton.

02:01:11.000 I mean, she was a good example of somebody who all the numbers were on her side. 1.00

02:01:15.000 I mean, she had every institutional advantage, but she blew it because she was a bad candidate.

02:01:19.000 And so the progressives here, if they're going to look like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez going down the line, they're not going to bode too well.

02:01:28.000 Maybe she won't get eviscerated in New York District 14, but, you know, these are not Connor Lambs that they're running in Pennsylvania or in Indiana or in Colorado or states where it's really competitive.

02:01:40.000 So, no, they just took their Connor Lam at the national level, a guy who you could compare to Connor Lam.

02:01:47.000 Joe Biden said he's not running for president today.

02:01:50.000 So, There goes the most viable candidate they had. 0.55

02:01:54.000 If they were ever going to pursue a strategy of trying to take back white working class voters, that was it. 0.77

02:02:00.000 And that ship looks like it sailed. 0.98

02:02:01.000 I mean, he was going to be pretty old anyway.

02:02:04.000 But now, and I was going to say this before when you have all these outsider candidates, they saw what Trump did and they kind of ignore all the fundamental elements that allowed Trump to do what he did the name ID, the money, the attitude, the willingness to fight.

02:02:20.000 And they think, oh, well, I'm an outsider.

02:02:22.000 And they overlook all the other qualifications that made Trump happen.

02:02:26.000 And so now you have Schultz, you have Zuckerberg, you have Mark Cuban, you have all these guys that want to like run for office.

02:02:33.000 And Biden, by taking his name out of the ring, that means that is Hillary going to run again?

02:02:39.000 Who knows? 0.93

02:02:39.000 Bernie Sanders is probably going to be too old. 0.93

02:02:42.000 He's going to be looking like Tales from the Crypt.

02:02:44.000 The meme will come true.

02:02:46.000 And then who's left? 1.00

02:02:47.000 I mean, you have Kamala Harris, who has nothing to offer independence. 1.00

02:02:50.000 She's not going to do well. 1.00

02:02:51.000 She'd be a great VP candidate on somebody's, some white guy's ticket.

02:02:55.000 But What are these other people going to do?

02:02:57.000 I mean, you have a lot of white presenting candidates on the left, but not an actual guy like Joe Biden.

02:03:02.000 And I don't know what they're going to do.

02:03:03.000 I mean, are there any other viable candidates, Nick?

02:03:06.000 I mean, Bryden?

02:03:07.000 I mean, what do you think?

02:03:09.000 Bloomberg has said today that he's going to run.

02:03:12.000 And then John Delaney, he said he's going to run as well.

02:03:15.000 And that's why he stopped.

02:03:17.000 So I don't know who they ought to run The Rock.

02:03:19.000 I mean, I might vote for The Rock.

02:03:22.000 No, you're right.

02:03:23.000 I mean, and this is a question that was asked on my show.

02:03:26.000 Pretty recently, they said, you know, who do you think is going to run in 2020?

02:03:30.000 And the exact answer I gave was Joe Biden's the only one who could be competitive.

02:03:34.000 He's the only one who could compete with Trump.

02:03:38.000 You know, of course, I think he'd have a strong shot at winning Pennsylvania.

02:03:42.000 You know, he would have a strong shot at winning all the other Rust Belt Midwest states.

02:03:45.000 He'd have a strong shot at resting Michigan and Wisconsin back.

02:03:49.000 He's got that same kind of like, in a very weird way, as a liberal, he's got the same kind of like folksy, Like grassroots, down to earth kind of a feel.

02:04:00.000 It's like in a very similar way to Trump.

02:04:03.000 You know, obviously they're not from the same backgrounds or anything.

02:04:06.000 He's kind of like the Democratic spawn.

02:04:08.000 But in a big way, I think Joe Biden could have really targeted Trump's base in a way that a Kamala Harris couldn't have, in a way that a Cory Booker couldn't have.

02:04:16.000 He could have really challenged him in Iowa, North Carolina, you know, these kinds of places.

02:04:20.000 And so that he's stepping down just kind of shows that the Democratic Party is doubled down on this strategy, which is. 0.99

02:04:29.000 Like, F white people, screw white people. 0.99

02:04:31.000 We don't care about the white working class. 1.00

02:04:33.000 We're not going to try and win them back. 1.00

02:04:34.000 We don't need them.

02:04:35.000 And that's, I think, going to turn out to be a fatal flaw. 1.00

02:04:38.000 They can't win without the white working class. 1.00

02:04:40.000 Not yet. 0.99

02:04:41.000 You know, maybe in 15 or 20 years when Texas goes blue and Arizona goes blue and all the rest, but there's a lot of game between now and then. 0.99

02:04:50.000 And in the meantime, they're going to need the white working class. 0.79

02:04:52.000 So, this constant, and they're not helping their case either by having these wacky politicians, wacky media figures just piling it on. 0.75

02:05:01.000 You know, Netflix specials and other things.

02:05:03.000 So that Joe Biden's out of the race, I think, says everything you need to know.

02:05:06.000 There's nobody else who's like a national figure, who's got the name recognition, who's even being floated right now.

02:05:12.000 I mean, the only people, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, I mean, these people don't have what it takes to win.

02:05:18.000 They'll win California.

02:05:19.000 They stand no chance in the heartland.

02:05:22.000 So I don't know, Bloomberg maybe, but no, I think we're this, it's a lot of good stuff right now.

02:05:27.000 We're, I think we've laid the foundation for a pretty solid political movement to sustain itself from here on out.

02:05:35.000 Well, not to beat the Joe Biden thing completely to death.

02:05:37.000 I just don't think we got all the meat off the bone exactly yet.

02:05:41.000 I, for one, really wanted him to run because I wanted to watch two like inadvertently racist grandpas like gaff all over the place on the campaign trail.

02:05:52.000 Like when you look at Joe Biden, I mean, one of the funny things he said recently was, like, we can teach anybody to code.

02:05:59.000 We even had kids from the hood coding, you know, and the rabid leftist base would go nuts over that, but they'd have to defend that.

02:06:08.000 Like, no, no, no, no, that's not what he meant.

02:06:10.000 I would have loved to have seen these guys just try to alpha each other, these two old men on a debate stage, but sadly, it's just not going to happen.

02:06:20.000 Well, speaking of totally not racist old men, Mitt Romney is the winner.

02:06:20.000 Yeah.

02:06:27.000 76.9% in for him with 35% total reporting.

02:06:32.000 So that's over.

02:06:33.000 Brutal.

02:06:34.000 He's going to be the next senator from Utah.

02:06:36.000 Great.

02:06:38.000 Great.

02:06:39.000 Yeah.

02:06:39.000 Love Senator Romney.

02:06:42.000 I hate these people, man. 1.00

02:06:43.000 These people are lizards. 1.00

02:06:44.000 I mean, it was inevitable, but it just sucks, you know, because you know that Mitt Romney has, like, I wouldn't even say it's a hatred. 0.99

02:06:53.000 It's just an indifference for his constituents. 0.89

02:06:55.000 I mean, it's just.

02:06:56.000 To me, that's like a crime that he's able to waltz into Utah from the East Coast where he's made his fortune and he's, you know, got all the rest.

02:07:04.000 And I'm just your center now.

02:07:06.000 But, you know, it is what it is.

02:07:08.000 Made his fortune from running methadone clinics, no less.

02:07:13.000 But, yeah, Mitt Romney, you know, it's like you're trying to escape someone and you run into your house and you run into your house and you forget to lock the door.

02:07:21.000 Mitt Romney's like snuck in the back door with Utah.

02:07:24.000 I mean, everybody else got locked outside, but no, Mitt's back in.

02:07:27.000 So, yeah, it's really unfortunate.

02:07:29.000 But, you know, This is what we saw.

02:07:31.000 And I think the media, because the voting, the electorate has gotten low info enough where they'll try to sell this as a resurgence of never Trump and look, Trump opponents are surging in the primary.

02:07:45.000 I mean, you know, most people are going to realize what's up there.

02:07:48.000 But yeah, I think because there is so little for the left to pull out of this tonight, it'll be about Mitt Romney, just my thought, maybe.

02:07:57.000 Yeah, that's a good point because you're right.

02:08:00.000 I mean, all the never Trumpers are on the run.

02:08:01.000 Jeff Flay, Cork.

02:08:03.000 McCain, I mean, they've all beat it.

02:08:04.000 Paul Ryan's on the way out.

02:08:06.000 So, of course, we're going to try and play it up as, you know, Mitt Romney, the vanguard of real Bill Crystal conservatism. 1.00

02:08:13.000 You know, he's going to save us from an authentic nationalism, national sovereignty, and, you know, make us just a slightly less posed up multiracial hellhole. 0.97

02:08:24.000 But no, I'm satisfied with tonight. 1.00

02:08:26.000 The Utah thing was inevitable.

02:08:28.000 So, you know, you're looking at some of these other races.

02:08:30.000 I mean, for the Democratic.

02:08:30.000 I don't know.

02:08:34.000 Governor race in Maryland.

02:08:36.000 Looks like Jealous is ahead with 47% reporting.

02:08:39.000 It's really not enough to forecast it right now in South Carolina, 4th District.

02:08:46.000 You know, this one's not really all that consequential.

02:08:49.000 Barring these two races, which are undecided, some of the key ones, I'm highly satisfied with where we are.

02:08:55.000 I think it's gotten better.

02:08:56.000 And I was saying this from the beginning.

02:08:58.000 I think we all were that it was going to change once the primary season started.

02:09:01.000 I think we're starting to see things turn around a little bit.

02:09:04.000 So I'm excited.

02:09:06.000 Yeah, that's absolutely right.

02:09:07.000 I mean, what time is it in Maryland right now?

02:09:09.000 Like 10 o'clock?

02:09:10.000 I mean, what are they still doing with the votes in PG County?

02:09:14.000 Think emoji, right?

02:09:14.000 Who knows?

02:09:16.000 Like, yeah, I wonder what's going on.

02:09:20.000 Yeah, right, exactly.

02:09:22.000 But, yeah, Maryland, it's a shame because, you know, I imagine that in the coming years, maybe not Maryland, but states like New Hampshire, maybe even Maine, I think they would come into play.

02:09:34.000 You know, if we keep going along this trajectory and we could beat back the media decisively and we could really win some of these crucial foundational battles right now, I think we could buy ourselves a lot of time if the Republican Party were to solidify this.

02:09:49.000 Public, this like Trumpian character on trade, on foreign policy, and really sell it in the next iteration of it.

02:09:57.000 I think we have a real shot at reconstituting whatever we lose in the Southwest, in the Midwest, in the Northeast.

02:10:04.000 I think if there's, it would be a really difficult thing, but I definitely think it's doable because you saw the margins in Minnesota.

02:10:10.000 You saw the margins in Wisconsin and Michigan, New Hampshire.

02:10:14.000 I mean, are you kidding me?

02:10:15.000 New Hampshire is like 1%.

02:10:17.000 So I think just as easily as we won Michigan and Wisconsin, I think we could pull some of these others if we really solidified our gains here, if we really.

02:10:24.000 And maybe you subtract this Trumpian character, which might have put some people off.

02:10:29.000 I think everything's looking good.

02:10:31.000 I don't want to go crazy and say we did it.

02:10:34.000 We did it tonight on the primaries.

02:10:36.000 But right now, I think we had a couple of not so good live coverages, whether it was tech issues or big losses.

02:10:43.000 And I saw a tweet the other day from the Alabama primary.

02:10:47.000 I had prepared a very nice video for Roy Moore's victory.

02:10:50.000 And I remember tweeting, looks like it's going to be a bad night for the left.

02:10:54.000 And we just got clobbered.

02:10:55.000 So I'm very thrilled tonight.

02:10:57.000 I think we're really seeing a big turnaround.

02:11:00.000 Well, you always got to remember.

02:11:01.000 I mean, you know, they're going to have 3,000 sassy black women in high heels marching in to vote against your guy, Nick. 0.94

02:11:08.000 So you got to win big every single time, is unfortunately just what I tell people. 0.84

02:11:15.000 I mean, I'm big on the hold.

02:11:17.000 There's fraud, there's fraud, there's fraud.

02:11:19.000 But we're headed in the right direction.

02:11:23.000 Again, I hate red wave, but as long as people stay motivated and are making the phone calls, are donating their time, and if you have it, the money, To guys in your district or your state.

02:11:37.000 I don't see how poorly we could do it. 1.00

02:11:39.000 It would take, well, an active zog. 1.00

02:11:46.000 Well, let's take a look at some of our super chats and stream labs here. 1.00

02:11:46.000 I agree. 1.00

02:11:50.000 People are clamoring in the chat to hear them.

02:11:54.000 Let's see.

02:11:54.000 We've got Philip Fry who says, Hey, Nick, can you tell Bryden to get a better haircut or hit the gym?

02:12:00.000 Oof.

02:12:01.000 He says, Good analysis, but he needs a look like you.

02:12:03.000 I don't know.

02:12:04.000 I like your look.

02:12:04.000 I like the look.

02:12:06.000 Well, you know, a lot of complaints, but that's fine.

02:12:10.000 You don't look bad for your diet. 0.97

02:12:11.000 I see the trash you shove in your body every day with the pizza and the ice cream, and I'm like, okay, it doesn't look bad at all if you look at the slop feed on Twitter.com. 0.98

02:12:25.000 But that's all right. 0.99

02:12:26.000 I do the same thing. 0.99

02:12:28.000 And I get a lot of crap for it. 0.99

02:12:30.000 And the worst thing is, I eat like an animal. 0.95

02:12:32.000 People tell me you can't eat this, you can't eat that, but I don't even bulk up because my metabolism is out of control.

02:12:39.000 So.

02:12:40.000 We got another one from Philip Fry who says, I missed it a few weeks ago, but how do you boys feel about Corey Stewart versus Creepy Kane on Virginia?

02:12:40.000 Let's see.

02:12:49.000 Well, I mean, just my thoughts.

02:12:51.000 I saw a poll that said Tim Kaine was up like 14 points or 18 or pretty high.

02:12:55.000 What do you guys think?

02:12:58.000 I think Corey Stewart's got a good shot, especially with the president's support and backing.

02:13:03.000 Because of the close geographic proximity, that means that Trump can go have rallies there fairly often, fairly easily, without a lot of troubles with logistics of getting his advance team and Secret Service and everything over there.

02:13:18.000 So he can campaign actively for him.

02:13:21.000 It's also good because Tim Kaine is someone who Trump defeated in 2016 on the ticket.

02:13:29.000 So it'll be great to go out there and do that again.

02:13:31.000 I mean, Tim Kaine's son is involved with Antifa.

02:13:35.000 I think that's pretty.

02:13:37.000 Common knowledge that's been pushed around, and in Corey, uh, Corey's a great candidate, he's a real solid candidate, and I think he'll do really well.

02:13:44.000 The question is, Virginia, uh, the question is, what are they willing to do?

02:13:49.000 We saw what they were willing to do to Ed Gillespie in terms of the campaign ads that are going to be put out there, uh, and they're going to do that again.

02:13:57.000 The question is, can they turn those people out, um, in the midterms?

02:14:03.000 Um, big question, we don't know.

02:14:05.000 Uh, they were able to turn them out for a special election, it had national attention.

02:14:09.000 But will it get so much attention when it's kind of packaged together with other races that are going on?

02:14:16.000 But I think Corey Stewart's going to do well.

02:14:18.000 And I think the polling is pretty early.

02:14:22.000 Corey's got to build more name ID.

02:14:24.000 He has run before there, but I think he'll do really well.

02:14:27.000 That's my take.

02:14:28.000 Yeah, I agree.

02:14:29.000 I think Corey Stewart's a good candidate, and I like him.

02:14:32.000 So I'm a big believer.

02:14:34.000 And you're right about Trump.

02:14:35.000 With Trump's endorsement, I think that'll go a long way in Virginia.

02:14:39.000 So I agree.

02:14:41.000 We got one more, or a couple more.

02:14:42.000 We got one from Sigur Haldorsen who says, Nick dealing a little flame, just a little edge.

02:14:50.000 Simon Skull says, Is that a Heisenberg tattoo?

02:14:53.000 Looks good.

02:14:54.000 Great show.

02:14:55.000 Is that a Heisenberg tattoo?

02:14:56.000 That is a Heisenberg tattoo, yeah.

02:15:00.000 Breaking Bad fan.

02:15:01.000 Pretty big one. 1.00

02:15:01.000 Stop getting the tattoos, Bride, and stop getting tattoos. 1.00

02:15:04.000 I haven't gotten a tattoo for years.

02:15:07.000 They hurt.

02:15:07.000 I'm not punk rock anymore.

02:15:09.000 No new tattoos, Nick. 0.90

02:15:11.000 But I will get your face on my face like some Gucci main thing.

02:15:16.000 And the mixtape will be fire.

02:15:17.000 Hopefully, you'll do a feature.

02:15:19.000 Hey, I would do a feature.

02:15:20.000 I told Beardson when Beardson released Back to the Forums, when he burst onto the scene with that EP, Back to the Forums as Mr. Genocide, I DM'd him.

02:15:20.000 I've been meaning to.

02:15:31.000 I said, Get me on as a feature.

02:15:34.000 He never got back to me.

02:15:35.000 He said, Oh, all right, I'm making it.

02:15:36.000 I'm making it.

02:15:37.000 But he never did.

02:15:38.000 So I would do it.

02:15:40.000 But no more tattoos.

02:15:41.000 And that goes for everybody.

02:15:43.000 It goes for everybody watching.

02:15:44.000 And you too, McPheels.

02:15:45.000 No tattoos.

02:15:47.000 None about that.

02:15:48.000 Oh, no, I don't have any tattoos.

02:15:48.000 Pure.

02:15:50.000 I'm very clean.

02:15:52.000 Me neither.

02:15:53.000 That's the way to go.

02:15:54.000 You know, I see so many people. 1.00

02:15:56.000 You know what would particularly offense me is I see beautiful girls all the time covered in tattoos. 1.00

02:16:01.000 I say, why do you do that to yourself? 1.00

02:16:03.000 Why would you want to damage your body like that?

02:16:06.000 Simon, or no, we just got that one, actually.

02:16:09.000 We got to jump over into our Streamlabs 4.

02:16:11.000 I think we had a couple ones that we missed here.

02:16:15.000 Rawhide has given me some copypasta.

02:16:15.000 Let's see.

02:16:18.000 I'm not going to read that.

02:16:21.000 Al Sabadis is asking if he's still disavowed for making an Anne Frank joke.

02:16:27.000 He says, I won't poke fun of Anne Frank. 0.99

02:16:28.000 I will shoot her into a pinup girl. 1.00

02:16:31.000 Okay, yeah, we can't. 1.00

02:16:32.000 That's bad optics, all right?

02:16:34.000 And we got one from Problematic White Knight who says, Hey, Nick, son of Europe, put out a video on a politician I never knew about.

02:16:42.000 Any info on Pim Fortune?

02:16:45.000 Sounds like he was anti immigration in the Netherlands, who was assassinated in 2002.

02:16:49.000 His speeches were very powerful.

02:16:51.000 Haven't heard of him, but I'll check it out.

02:16:53.000 And we got one more from Joe, and then we'll get back to the coverage. 1.00

02:16:55.000 She says, Nick, your Civ game being ruined last night is God's justice wrought down upon you for leaving your Catholic homies high and dry. 0.99

02:17:04.000 Also, watching the show eating tacos, Nick, and tacos go well together. 1.00

02:17:08.000 Great combo, taco.

02:17:10.000 Well, you know, for a little background, I was hanging out in the Discord the other day.

02:17:14.000 We're playing a little Civilization V with the boys, and all of a sudden people start pouring into the general chat.

02:17:19.000 You know, I know you fellas are interested in this.

02:17:22.000 Pouring in, they're asking me, Nick, what do you think about this?

02:17:24.000 What do you think about that?

02:17:25.000 I had to get out of there.

02:17:27.000 We got to have clear comps so we could focus on the game.

02:17:29.000 But.

02:17:30.000 We love you, Joe.

02:17:30.000 Hope it's no hard feelings.

02:17:32.000 Hope you're enjoying the tacos.

02:17:33.000 It is the ethnic cuisine of America first, as I am the resident Latino.

02:17:38.000 But let's get back to the coverage and see if we have any updates here on our map.

02:17:46.000 Is Civ 5 a good game?

02:17:47.000 I used to play the earlier Civ games all the way up, I think, to 4.

02:17:52.000 But is 5 good?

02:17:54.000 I mean, do you like it?

02:17:55.000 5 is good.

02:17:55.000 I like 5.

02:17:56.000 You know, many people say Civ 4 is better.

02:17:58.000 I like 5.

02:17:59.000 Maybe it's just because it's the one I got turned on to, but.

02:18:02.000 It's a good one.

02:18:03.000 I'm a big fan. 0.77

02:18:04.000 And I'm just kind of autistic about it.

02:18:05.000 I just, I don't even play to win.

02:18:08.000 I just play so I could develop as much as possible.

02:18:10.000 And then I, you know, I'm kind of goofy like that.

02:18:12.000 What about you, Brian?

02:18:13.000 Do you play Civ 5?

02:18:15.000 I've never really been good at the real time strategy games, much more of a first person shooter fella.

02:18:15.000 I don't.

02:18:20.000 Wow.

02:18:20.000 Gotcha.

02:18:21.000 You play Fortnite?

02:18:21.000 Gotcha.

02:18:23.000 I tried Fortnite the other day and I streamed it.

02:18:25.000 And I don't get the whole big hubbub because I didn't even know after you die, you don't get to respawn.

02:18:29.000 So I sat there for like five minutes trying to figure that out.

02:18:33.000 Oof, yes.

02:18:34.000 Boomer.

02:18:35.000 Boomer over here doesn't know how Battle Royale works. 1.00

02:18:38.000 It's still sucking cod land. 1.00

02:18:41.000 I'm JK. 1.00

02:18:43.000 Good little game talk.

02:18:46.000 Let's see.

02:18:47.000 So it looks like South Carolina, still nothing.

02:18:50.000 Okay.

02:18:51.000 I think we're just going to call it in eight minutes because we haven't seen an update on South Carolina's fourth in like 20, 30 minutes.

02:18:58.000 And Maryland, same thing for the Democratic primary. 0.83

02:19:01.000 Jealous still holding a pretty strong lead.

02:19:05.000 So, not much more to say about it, right?

02:19:06.000 I mean, what's the takeaway?

02:19:08.000 If we're closing it up in 10 minutes, what's the takeaway?

02:19:11.000 What's the big summary here?

02:19:15.000 You want to go first, Brad, and you want me to go first?

02:19:17.000 Oh, I was just being polite.

02:19:19.000 But yeah, I guess the big takeaway that I would see is that, again, we're seeing there is no blue wave, and there's a lot of division within the left, which is great.

02:19:29.000 I cannot wait to see them be forced to rally behind what's her face?

02:19:36.000 The not thick one.

02:19:38.000 Alexandria.

02:19:40.000 You've got also the DCCC endorsed some other fella over in New York, but the progressives still liked him.

02:19:50.000 Dana Balter, who was going, we didn't talk about the 24th district at all.

02:19:54.000 So you're seeing a lot of just cognitive dissonance among the left.

02:19:59.000 I mean, more so than usual about like, okay, I like this, but I don't like this.

02:20:03.000 And as long as they're torn apart, that's great because we're actually united on immigration, the wall.

02:20:10.000 Tax cuts are nice, but trade, all of this stuff is great.

02:20:13.000 And the more that the president campaigns for people, he does kind of have that touch.

02:20:18.000 So, as long as he's endorsing the right people, and even if he doesn't, I'm pretty sure that the voters, especially in the South, know the difference between a Trumpian candidate and a Trump endorsed candidate.

02:20:28.000 So, things look great.

02:20:30.000 I'm very optimistic and very hopeful and eager to get involved as much as possible.

02:20:35.000 Very good.

02:20:36.000 What about you, Jazz Hands?

02:20:37.000 What is your takeaway?

02:20:39.000 So, this is nothing but more bad news for the Democrats.

02:20:42.000 Like I said, they're not going to be able to pull much out of this that they can carry around as a victory in a string of days, actually, probably weeks of misery and despair, especially with everything that's been going on.

02:20:58.000 The closest they were able to come to any sort of a victory was last week.

02:21:04.000 And it was totally fraudulent and fake when they thought they were getting a victory with the EO.

02:21:09.000 And then that turned out to be nothing but bad news for them as well.

02:21:13.000 So I think that they're going to try to.

02:21:17.000 Say that the never true, never Trump movement is not dead because of Mitt Romney, and then quickly pivot back to kids at the border or maybe even Bob Mueller.

02:21:26.000 But the problem with pivoting back to Bob Mueller is that invites discussions about the IG report.

02:21:31.000 So I don't know what they're going to do.

02:21:32.000 They're going to have to probably invent a new scandal. 1.00

02:21:34.000 What's Stormy Daniels up to these days? 0.99

02:21:38.000 No, all good takes.

02:21:39.000 I think you're both on the money on this.

02:21:41.000 I think we're all basically in agreement here.

02:21:44.000 Good night for the Republicans in more ways than one.

02:21:44.000 It's a good night.

02:21:47.000 I think you see the Democrat civil war is.

02:21:50.000 Is raging hard.

02:21:52.000 And both factions don't know how to win America.

02:21:55.000 The establishment is failing, floundering.

02:21:57.000 The progressives are not going to provide a platform that the American people want.

02:22:02.000 And on the Republican side, I think we've seen affirmed pragmatism and support for Donald Trump.

02:22:07.000 Donald Trump's endorsement has carried a lot of weight.

02:22:10.000 We picked good people if you look at the different primaries.

02:22:14.000 And so I think we're basically in the best position that we could be if you look at the 12th District of New York, if you look at how the gubernatorial, or I'm sorry, not the.

02:22:23.000 Gubernatorial.

02:22:24.000 What was the other race we were looking at a moment ago?

02:22:29.000 Which one am I thinking of?

02:22:30.000 Let me see if I can.

02:22:31.000 South Carolina?

02:22:32.000 That's right.

02:22:32.000 South Carolina.

02:22:34.000 I think we've won on all fronts.

02:22:36.000 And aside from the two that haven't been called yet, I don't think those are really all that consequential.

02:22:41.000 I think we are in a really good spot here for 2018.

02:22:44.000 So it's competitive, but we've got a real shot here.

02:22:47.000 So thanks so much, folks, for coming on.

02:22:50.000 Really appreciate you.

02:22:51.000 We love the live election coverage with some of the smartest minds, some of the best minds in the biz.

02:22:57.000 And we'd love to do it again sometime.

02:22:59.000 We'll have to do it maybe the night of the election.

02:23:01.000 That would be a good one, huh?

02:23:02.000 Oh, yeah.

02:23:03.000 That'd be great.

02:23:03.000 Count me in.

02:23:04.000 Great.

02:23:06.000 All right, fellas.

02:23:08.000 Great.

02:23:08.000 All right.

02:23:09.000 Well, take it easy, folks.

02:23:10.000 Have a good one.

02:23:10.000 We'll talk to you later.

02:23:12.000 All right.

02:23:13.000 All right.

02:23:14.000 Bye-bye.

02:23:15.000 Very good.

02:23:16.000 Well, there you have it.

02:23:17.000 I can finally take off my headphones here.

02:23:20.000 A little nose scratch.

02:23:22.000 Well, there you have it, folks. 0.96

02:23:23.000 Those are the primaries for tonight.

02:23:27.000 Very good.

02:23:28.000 I mean, it wasn't very.

02:23:30.000 Dramatic tonight.

02:23:31.000 You know, I think in the Pennsylvania, the Alabama was high stakes.

02:23:36.000 It was high drama.

02:23:37.000 It was down to the wire.

02:23:39.000 This one's pretty laid back, laid back.

02:23:42.000 And ultimately, I think a pretty good night for Donald Trump, for the Republicans.

02:23:47.000 But, you know, it's been the same message for about six months.

02:23:50.000 We've been keeping an eye on it.

02:23:51.000 Trends have been changing, evolving over time.

02:23:53.000 I think I've basically been vindicated on everything I've predicted, honestly, if you want to know the truth, since about a year ago.

02:23:59.000 You know, and so I think that only bolsters the claim that this America first.

02:24:04.000 Donald Trump, right.

02:24:05.000 We are on the money.

02:24:06.000 We have the right narrative about what explains all the facts, all the trends.

02:24:11.000 This is what's been going on in the country.

02:24:13.000 So it's all very exciting.
