Transcript

00:00:22.000 We're good.
00:01:05.000 Let's do it.
00:02:25.000 I don't know.
00:03:11.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.
00:03:24.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.
00:03:35.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world.
00:03:38.000 and who make a real and lasting difference.
00:03:41.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.
00:03:46.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.
00:03:52.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say.
00:03:59.000 We must always remember that we share one home
00:04:03.000 And one glorious destiny.
00:04:06.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.
00:04:11.000 We all salute the same great American flag.
00:04:16.000 Our best days are yet to come.
00:05:08.000 People that are stupid.
00:09:39.000 But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.
00:09:41.000 I stop playing games.
00:09:43.000 And at any moment, I can hit that yay button.
00:10:12.000 Not my words, not my rules.
00:10:17.000 I just enforce them, alright?
00:10:59.000 There's everything.
00:11:01.000 Warming up.
00:11:02.000 Everybody dares to evolve.
00:11:30.000 We're good to go.
00:12:16.000 This is from your biggest Protestant fan, may you one day see the light.
00:12:20.000 Well, hey, thanks, love you too, but I'm sorry, I believe in a religion that makes sense, so... Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
00:12:34.000 It's not too big, is it?
00:12:38.000 It's wrong, isn't it?
00:12:39.000 It feels so right.
00:12:41.000 It's a deal.
00:12:42.000 I put together some really impressive deals.
00:13:44.000 You look great.
00:13:45.000 Thank you very much.
00:13:47.000 I'm done with it.
00:14:31.000 New day, cost me a new deal!
00:15:10.000 This sounds like political presidential talk.
00:15:15.000 You said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win.
00:15:18.000 I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning.
00:15:23.000 I'd never go on to lose.
00:15:25.000 I've never gone on to lose in my life.
00:15:28.000 I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States whipped off.
00:15:37.000 Who's the guy on fire right now?
00:15:40.000 Captain.
00:16:54.000 We can't go back to the past.
00:16:56.000 That's what people always say, isn't it?
00:16:58.000 They say, can we really go back?
00:16:59.000 And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right when you're left-wing, the answer is no.
00:17:06.000 We're never going back.
00:17:07.000 It's done.
00:17:08.000 It's gone.
00:17:09.000 All of that is gone.
00:17:10.000 But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead.
00:17:15.000 Because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.
00:17:21.000 Jesus Christ is our present now and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.
00:17:34.000 We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth.
00:17:41.000 We love everybody.
00:17:43.000 And we want people that can burn, really, more than anybody.
00:17:46.000 But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the Nobel Prize.
00:17:56.000 The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.
00:18:01.000 The mission is to create a Christian,
00:18:04.000 The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do.
00:18:15.000 The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the fullness of a real question.
00:18:23.000 The only way.
00:18:26.000 We have to want it more than they do, because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us, and nothing will.
00:18:56.000 If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.
00:19:04.000 Don't sit yet, you're like this.
00:19:32.000 Globalists, Marxists, and Communists who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping giant they have awoken.
00:19:45.000 They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women, but they're going to
00:19:58.000 This nation belongs to you.
00:20:17.000 It was patriots like you that built this country, and it's patriots like you that are going to save our country.
00:20:25.000 To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land, hear these words.
00:20:36.000 For me tonight, the people of America will not surrender our borders.
00:20:42.000 We will not surrender our culture.
00:20:45.000 We will not surrender our faith.
00:20:47.000 We will not surrender our values.
00:20:51.000 We will not surrender our history.
00:20:53.000 We will not surrender our liberty.
00:20:55.000 And above all, we will not surrender our children.
00:21:01.000 We are done with their distorted visions for America.
00:21:05.000 It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again.
00:21:09.000 We want our country to be great again.
00:21:12.000 We want our country to be respected.
00:21:28.000 The time for action has come.
00:21:32.000 As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that we deserve.
00:22:14.000 Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:22:26.000 Together, we have the same mission.
00:22:30.000 Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair.
00:22:35.000 You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted.
00:22:44.000 But you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight.
00:22:50.000 Never, ever, ever give up.
00:22:54.000 Don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right.
00:23:00.000 Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.
00:23:06.000 And the more righteous your fight, the more opposition that you will face.
00:23:11.000 In your hearts are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion.
00:23:17.000 Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action.
00:23:25.000 America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers.
00:23:32.000 When the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, they prayed.
00:23:37.000 When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked our creator four times.
00:23:46.000 Because in America, we don't worship government, we worship God.
00:23:51.000 It is why our currency proudly declares, in God we trust.
00:23:57.000 And it's why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation under God.
00:24:03.000 The story of America is the story of an adventure
00:24:07.000 That began with deep faith, big dreams, and humble beginnings.
00:24:17.000 The next generation of American leaders never, ever give up.
00:24:24.000 There'll be times in your life you'll want to quit.
00:24:28.000 Never quit.
00:24:29.000 Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.
00:24:35.000 Carry yourself with dignity and pride.
00:24:38.000 Demand the best from yourself.
00:24:41.000 The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong.
00:24:52.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.
00:25:03.000 Relish the opportunity to be an outsider.
00:25:05.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.
00:25:16.000 You must keep pushing forward.
00:25:20.000 And always have the courage to be yourself.
00:25:26.000 America is better when people put their faith into action.
00:25:32.000 Pray to God and follow his teachings.
00:25:36.000 Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well.
00:25:40.000 When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit.
00:25:50.000 You will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say.
00:26:00.000 You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls.
00:26:09.000 As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God,
00:26:18.000 Then you will not fail.
00:26:21.000 As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.
00:27:11.000 May God bless the United States of America.
00:27:15.000 And I just want to let you know that God blesses you.
00:27:20.000 And I want to just say, you are special in every way.
00:27:26.000 God bless you and God bless America.
00:27:28.000 Thank you very much.
00:27:29.000 Thank you.
00:27:39.000 We are going to make our country great again!
00:29:00.000 I don't know.
00:30:00.000 69.
00:30:01.000 Now it's time for new believable people.
00:30:05.000 And we must do it.
00:30:07.000 If we don't control insiders, this will be over and over.
00:30:12.000 To lead by an A. Big, fat, love, find common ground.
00:30:17.000 To halt the spread of lies.
00:30:20.000 And we must do it.
00:30:21.000 Big, fat, love, find common ground.

00:31:39.000 Non-fatal.
00:31:40.000 We want to build a much better believable people.
00:31:45.000 And we must do it non-fatal.
00:31:47.000 Communication very much higher.
00:31:50.000 America first!
00:31:51.000 To lead it by an A. Insiders fighting for insiders.

00:32:05.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.
00:32:07.000 America first!
00:32:14.000 President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.
00:32:20.000 At real Donald Trump.
00:32:24.000 At real Donald Trump.
00:32:26.000 At least I will go down as a president.
00:32:34.000 Now America is once again at a moment of reckoning.
00:32:37.000 Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
00:32:43.000 We will make America great again!
00:33:23.000 It's payback time!
00:33:25.000 We're gonna take our country back from these people!

00:34:07.000 Mr. President-elect.
00:35:30.000 Yeah.
00:37:28.000 Let's do it.
00:38:14.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.
00:38:27.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.
00:38:37.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world.
00:38:41.000 And it'll make a real and lasting difference.
00:38:44.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

00:39:14.000 We all salute the same great American flag.
00:39:18.000 Our best days are yet to come.
00:40:07.000 It would be wonderful if you have smart people.
00:40:10.000 But we have people that are stupid.
00:44:41.000 But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.
00:44:47.000 I stop playing games.
00:44:50.000 And at any moment, I can hit that yay button.
00:44:59.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo!
00:45:06.000 It's going to be only America first.
00:45:11.000 America first.
00:45:15.000 The American people will come first once again.

00:50:40.000 We're gonna get it going, okay?
00:50:44.000 So...
00:50:46.000 First presidential debate.
00:50:48.000 Let's take a quick poll of the live chat.
00:50:52.000 We'll revisit this at the end.
00:50:54.000 Let's get a 1 in the chat if you think that Donald Trump will win the debate.
00:51:01.000 1 in the chat if you think Trump is gonna win.
00:51:05.000 Let's get a 2 in the chat if you think President Joe Biden will win tonight.
00:51:10.000 Let's take a quick poll.
00:51:13.000 Not a scientific poll, but an informal
00:51:16.000 Internet poll.
00:51:17.000 One for Trump, two for Biden.
00:51:19.000 Let's see what people think.
00:51:20.000 It's almost all ones.
00:51:22.000 Some twos, but almost all ones.
00:51:29.000 And the important detail... Yeah, so it's all ones.
00:51:33.000 No, it's actually about 50-50.
00:51:34.000 That's crazy.
00:51:37.000 Well, I am getting all my money from Qatar, Hamas, and the Democrat Party, so it only makes perfect... It only makes perfect sense.
00:51:44.000 This show is brought to you by... No, this is a joke!
00:51:49.000 Want to make that very clear to Chris at Rumble and everybody.
00:51:53.000 This is a joke, because nobody can take a joke these days.
00:51:57.000 The only joke you're allowed to make is like a two-gender joke.
00:52:01.000 Anything more than that, everybody loses their minds, you know?
00:52:04.000 You can make countless cartoons about a white boomer and a black guy who make fun of like a trans-liberal
00:52:11.000 But then you start to make other jokes, people freak out.
00:52:13.000 This show's brought to you by Hamas, the state of Qatar, the House of Thani, and the Democrat Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, super PAC, generous contributor to the show.
00:52:27.000 No, that's jokes, but... So, it looks like it's about 50-50, maybe a little bit more in favor of Trump.
00:52:35.000 But here's the thing.
00:52:37.000 We're getting ready for the debate and everyone is wondering who's going to win.
00:52:42.000 But the victory conditions, as everybody has pointed out, are very, very different.
00:52:48.000 In order for Joe Biden to win the debate, as everybody has said, he merely needs to be mentally competent.
00:52:57.000 That's the win condition.
00:52:59.000 It's not the same.
00:53:01.000 For both candidates.
00:53:03.000 For Joe Biden to win, he just needs to survive.
00:53:08.000 Mission log updated.
00:53:10.000 Survive!
00:53:11.000 Like, the hordes are coming, waves of NPC attackers.
00:53:18.000 Survive!
00:53:19.000 That's all he has to do.
00:53:21.000 Joe Biden has to make it to the end of the debate without a major gaffe, without literally forgetting where he is, pooing his pants, all that stuff.
00:53:32.000 So it's a much lower bar for Joe Biden.
00:53:34.000 I think that if he just gets to the end, he's in good shape.
00:53:39.000 Because as we all know, that is the biggest, among the biggest problems with Joe Biden is that he's obviously not really in control of the White House.
00:53:50.000 He is not in control of his mental faculties.
00:53:53.000 And everybody, I think, has noticed this at this point.
00:53:58.000 And the cognitive decline is very severe.
00:54:01.000 I want to temper that a little bit, and my belief is that I think the situation is not as bad as people say.
00:54:13.000 I think it probably is, in reality, as bad as people say.
00:54:19.000 But I have been doing this show for seven years, and I remember covering the 2020 debates, the primary debates, the general debates.
00:54:29.000 And I remember in 2020, Joe Biden was demented then.
00:54:32.000 He was senile back then.
00:54:35.000 And he was struggling.
00:54:37.000 And they were hiding him, if you recall, during the pandemic.
00:54:41.000 And yet, every single time that he was called upon, he locked in.
00:54:47.000 He took the drugs, and he locked in, and he performed.
00:54:52.000 And I remember back then, everyone made these predictions.
00:54:55.000 They said, he won't make it to November.
00:54:57.000 Well, here we are four years later.
00:54:59.000 He made it.
00:55:00.000 People said he's gonna get killed at the debate, or the State of the Union, or the Inaugural.
00:55:06.000 They said he is not competent to even give a speech.
00:55:10.000 But of course, he's given speeches.
00:55:13.000 I was surprised.
00:55:14.000 The State of the Union this year, it was a little rough, but it was, all things considered, it was fine.
00:55:22.000 There were some issues, but nothing crazy.
00:55:26.000 And so I feel like every time it's overstated almost every time it is is very much Overstated the extent to which he'll be impacted because of course he's on performance enhancing drugs.
00:55:39.000 I think that's very clear because there's such a stark difference between your regular everyday appearance where he doesn't know where he is and then these major public appearances when he seems to be a totally different person and
00:55:56.000 So, it's clearly performance enhancing drugs.
00:55:59.000 I don't know what it is.
00:56:00.000 I don't mess with drugs, so I don't even know, you know, what you take for something like that, but every time he seems to be able to pull it together.
00:56:08.000 With that being said, so I'm, you know, I'm trying to be a little even on both sides here.
00:56:14.000 At the same time, it seems that the cognitive decline has gotten far worse very recently.
00:56:22.000 And I don't mean like in the last couple years, I mean in the past few months.
00:56:26.000 So, on the one hand, the victory condition is survive.
00:56:31.000 On the other hand, he's been able to survive up until this point.
00:56:36.000 He's done debates, he's done the inaugural, the State of the Union, he's done other major public appearances, and he's been able to coast.
00:56:44.000 But then again, it has gotten far worse in just the past few months.
00:56:49.000 It's visible.
00:56:50.000 His face looks worse.
00:56:52.000 His gait, the way that he walks, looks worse.
00:56:56.000 The confusion seems to be getting worse.
00:57:00.000 So, although it's never been a catastrophic problem in the past, it seems like it may be going forward.
00:57:10.000 And it may be tonight.
00:57:11.000 And if not tonight, maybe in the future.
00:57:13.000 Likelihood only goes up as time goes on.
00:57:15.000 So that is what is on everybody's mind, and it's pretty unbelievable
00:57:20.000 This election is so consequential for so many reasons.
00:57:24.000 You've got the dilemma abroad, which is basically the beginning of the end of American unipolarity.
00:57:32.000 Or, what do they call it?
00:57:35.000 America as a hyper-power with true global hegemony.
00:57:40.000 That is over.
00:57:42.000 That is over as we see these
00:57:47.000 Flashpoints all across the globe for great power conflict, regional conflict.
00:57:52.000 Of course, we're talking about Ukraine, Gaza, Taiwan.
00:57:57.000 We're also talking about West Africa, and Guyana, and Azerbaijan, and Kosovo.
00:58:05.000 Everywhere across the globe, on every continent, there are flashpoints for major conflict.
00:58:11.000 There is a new Cold War with China.
00:58:13.000 There is a new Monroe Doctrine being implemented.
00:58:16.000 There was just a coup attempt in Bolivia yesterday, another Western-backed coup.
00:58:22.000 So, the world is in peril.
00:58:24.000 The economy is in peril.
00:58:25.000 Inflation is high.
00:58:27.000 Growth is slow.
00:58:28.000 The energy crisis is rearing its head again.
00:58:31.000 We're reaching peak shale production.
00:58:33.000 Global peak oil production seems to be on the horizon.
00:58:37.000 Energy transition, critical minerals and supply chain in the hands of adversaries.
00:58:42.000 The border is worse than ever.
00:58:45.000 Crime is surging and increasing at a faster rate than any time in American history.
00:58:50.000 So we have all these problems.
00:58:52.000 This is what the election should be about, is about.
00:58:57.000 But what is on everybody's mind during the debate is not Israel.
00:59:01.000 It's not Ukraine.
00:59:03.000 It's not the border.
00:59:04.000 It's not inflation.
00:59:05.000 What's on everybody's mind is the fact that Joe Biden is retarded.
00:59:11.000 Which is pretty...
00:59:13.000 Ridiculous.
00:59:15.000 And I usually don't lean into this kind of stuff so much, but that is what we're doing tonight.
00:59:19.000 You know, it's, hey, when in Rome, this is what we do.
00:59:23.000 So we're doing the partisan politics thing.
00:59:25.000 But it is really unbelievable that he is that messed up.
00:59:29.000 It has consumed, I think, everybody's attention on this.
00:59:36.000 I mean, I'm sure you guys know, if you're doing your own watch party and people you know, that is the talk of the town.
00:59:41.000 How retarded is this guy gonna be tonight?
00:59:43.000 Our President!
00:59:45.000 Commander-in-Chief, highest, most powerful office.
00:59:49.000 secular office in the world and We're wondering if he's even gonna be able to show up and put on a 90-minute debate performance without having a diaper change Without having a stinky diaper.
01:00:03.000 That's pretty unbelievable.
01:00:04.000 So of course, that's what we're looking out for but that that is my estimation of the situation is I think that it always tends to be overstated how bad he really is and
01:00:17.000 It's like with everything.
01:00:18.000 We have been waiting and waiting.
01:00:21.000 When is there going to be this moment when Biden embarrasses himself so badly that he doesn't even think of running for re-election?
01:00:28.000 It just hasn't arrived.
01:00:32.000 But, that's what we're waiting for tonight.
01:00:35.000 So, that's what we'll be looking for.
01:00:38.000 But we're going to get into some other stuff.
01:00:40.000 We've got our CBS coverage.
01:00:41.000 I don't know if we're really going to lean too much on this.
01:00:43.000 I want to get into... This is 538.
01:00:48.000 These are the, and it's actually interesting, FiveThirtyEight, for those that don't know, this is Nate Silver.
01:00:54.000 Nate Silver came up with this brilliant election predicting model back in 2012.
01:01:00.000 He was like the Wonder Kid.
01:01:02.000 And he started this website called FiveThirtyEight.
01:01:06.000 But then in 2016, he totally got it wrong, and it ruined his career.
01:01:10.000 And now 538 was bought by CBS.
01:01:14.000 Just a little fun fact for you guys if you're keeping score with this stuff.
01:01:18.000 And anyway, they actually do a pretty interesting analysis of the polls.
01:01:22.000 They take all the polls that come in...
01:01:24.000 They give the polls a score based on how reliable it is, because obviously the polls give such disparate information.
01:01:33.000 The methodology is seriously flawed in some of them.
01:01:36.000 You know, like there was a Rasmussen poll that came out today that Trump published on True Social.
01:01:41.000 It said he's leading by 10 points nationally.
01:01:46.000 Does anybody believe... I know there are some people that say, like, Trump is gonna win California!
01:01:51.000 You know, so, like, maybe I shouldn't even ask.
01:01:54.000 But does anybody really believe that Trump is up 10 points?
01:01:56.000 I don't think so.
01:01:59.000 Maybe.
01:02:00.000 Black Swan event.
01:02:01.000 But Rasmussen, as we know, is very favorable to Republicans.
01:02:05.000 It was in 2020.
01:02:05.000 It was in 2016.
01:02:08.000 So they'll evaluate a poll like that and they add it to an aggregate score after they have filtered it based on which polls have the best methodology.
01:02:17.000 And so this is their current forecast on 538.
01:02:19.000 It says it's basically a dead heat.
01:02:23.000 50-50.
01:02:25.000 They say that out of 100 simulations of the presidential election, Joe Biden wins 50.
01:02:31.000 And they say that Trump wins 49.
01:02:34.000 And in 1 out of 100 chances, there is no Electoral College winner, meaning it's 269 to 269, which is possible.
01:02:44.000 And so, the most interesting part of the graph to me is this.
01:02:50.000 This is my favorite graphic here on 538.
01:02:54.000 And if you zoom in, I don't know if you guys can see this, but if you zoom in, it shows
01:03:01.000 It shows very clearly which states in this tug of war are leaning the most right and the most left.
01:03:11.000 And so right now the map has it that Joe Biden gets 270 electoral college votes by barely winning Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
01:03:22.000 It says that Trump is likely to take Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia.
01:03:27.000 And this is the race
01:03:30.000 In a nutshell, the state of the race right now is that it seems that Trump is the favorite to win Georgia.
01:03:36.000 He's the favorite to win Arizona.
01:03:38.000 And they are more deeper red states.
01:03:42.000 It's a little bit of a surprise.
01:03:44.000 It also shows that he's likely to win Nevada, which he lost in 2016 and 2020.
01:03:51.000 And so the real question is he needs to win one of the three.
01:03:55.000 He needs to win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan.
01:03:59.000 One of those three, in addition to Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Trump wins.
01:04:06.000 And the odds are, even though this forecast says that Biden is the likely favorite, I actually think it's more likely that Trump wins one of the three.
01:04:13.000 Because Joe Biden has to run the table in the Midwest.
01:04:16.000 These are three states that Trump won in 2016.
01:04:20.000 There are three states that Trump came within 1% of winning in 2020.
01:04:27.000 In states like Michigan and Wisconsin, it was a razor-thin margin.
01:04:32.000 And so the odds that Biden runs the table and maintains all three of them I think is unlikely.
01:04:38.000 I think that Trump is likely to pull one of them.
01:04:43.000 They also say, though, that Trump may have a chance in Virginia.
01:04:46.000 Trump is going to be doing a rally in Virginia this week.
01:04:51.000 Many people say that adds to speculation that perhaps his vice president will be Glenn Youngkin, the governor of Virginia.
01:04:58.000 Very big, upset victory when he won years ago.
01:05:04.000 But so this is really the state of the race, it's a tug of war, and it all comes down to the Midwest.
01:05:11.000 Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
01:05:14.000 Can he win one of them?
01:05:16.000 And the big thing about Michigan, which is kind of unbelievable how it works out this way, it could be the case that Michigan decides the whole election.
01:05:25.000 If Trump wins Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada,
01:05:30.000 All he needs is Michigan, let's say hypothetically.
01:05:33.000 The reason that I'm focusing on Michigan, why I say that's so unbelievable, is because Michigan, as you know, just so happens to have one of the largest Muslim populations outside the Muslim world.
01:05:48.000 There are millions of Muslims, maybe it's just over a million, in Michigan, just south of Detroit in Dearborn.
01:05:58.000 And of course, what is going on right now?
01:06:01.000 This major genocide, this brutal military campaign by Israel in Gaza, which has been totally supported by the Biden administration.
01:06:10.000 And so during the Democratic primary, which is not really formal, or rather it's the opposite, it is truly a formality,
01:06:19.000 There was a Democrat primary even though Biden as the incumbent president is the presumptive nominee.
01:06:26.000 I believe there were some minor challengers but nothing serious.
01:06:31.000 In the Democratic primary in Michigan there were nearly a hundred thousand Democrat voters that voted in the primary as uncommitted and it was a significant percentage of the vote and
01:06:45.000 The premise is basically that so long as Biden continues to support Israel in their campaign in Gaza, these Muslims and other liberals that are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause are going to withhold their vote from Joe Biden.
01:07:01.000 Consider that the margin in the state of Michigan in 2020 was less than $100,000.
01:07:10.000 So, if there are 100,000 uncommitted Democrats, but there were fewer than 100,000 voters that flipped the state in 2020, then that could theoretically pose a big problem for Joe Biden.
01:07:24.000 He's got a Muslim problem.
01:07:25.000 He's got a young person's problem.
01:07:27.000 He's got a progressive problem.
01:07:31.000 If they believe that he is too supportive of Israel and not doing enough to support the Palestinians with humanitarian aid,
01:07:40.000 It's conceivable that by staying home, not even voting for Trump necessarily, but merely by staying home, they could flip Michigan and win the whole thing for Trump.
01:07:50.000 So that's why a lot of people are talking about the state of Michigan.
01:07:54.000 Then again, and let's talk about some other things that are going on.
01:07:57.000 In Arizona, there's a big problem for Republicans on the flip side.
01:08:02.000 Trump is the favorite to win Arizona, but there is a major referendum in Arizona
01:08:09.000 On abortion.
01:08:12.000 And since the Dobbs decision, I always forget if it's Hobbs or Dobbs, since the Dobbs decision a couple of years ago, which overturned Roe vs. Wade, unfortunately, and I don't say this with any kind of satisfaction because I am a pro-life Catholic, I'm pro-life as it gets, and I would never vote for somebody that's pro-choice,
01:08:34.000 But with that being said, it does pose a major electoral problem for Republicans.
01:08:39.000 For the simple fact that women in America love abortion.
01:08:43.000 I don't.
01:08:44.000 I think most Christians don't.
01:08:46.000 Probably the vast majority of Christians don't.
01:08:49.000 But a lot of these more even secular conservative women, they will turn out to vote against
01:08:57.000 Anti-abortion referendums at the state level.
01:09:01.000 And we've seen that over and over again.
01:09:03.000 It had a negative impact in 2022 in the midterms.
01:09:07.000 It has had a negative impact in special elections.
01:09:11.000 And there is data that supports the idea that in states with a referendum on abortion, Republicans have been underperforming.
01:09:19.000 And that's because any time there is a referendum that is going to take abortion rights, which is how they frame it, it activates women.
01:09:28.000 It activates women as a constituency.
01:09:30.000 They go out and vote really hard.
01:09:33.000 Liberal progressive women turn out in droves.
01:09:35.000 And I think even a lot of secular conservative women, I think they also vote the wrong way.
01:09:42.000 And so in a state like Arizona, where there's going to be a referendum, it could have the potential to activate Democrat voters that may not have, under normal circumstances, gone out to vote.
01:09:53.000 Maybe they wouldn't vote for Joe Biden, but they would turn out to vote against one of these referendums.
01:10:00.000 So those are some of the dynamics of things that are going on in the various states.
01:10:03.000 It's a little bit of a mixed bag.
01:10:06.000 And so we'll see what happens.
01:10:07.000 As FiveThirtyEight predicts, it's basically a toss-up.
01:10:11.000 We'll look at the polling though.
01:10:12.000 This is from RealClearPolitics.
01:10:15.000 And they take the average of all the polls.
01:10:18.000 This is the national polling average for a five-way race between Trump, Biden, RFK, Cornel West, and Jill Stein.
01:10:27.000 It shows that Trump is up on average by 2.6%.
01:10:29.000 That is the average.
01:10:33.000 And Trump has been in the lead in this five-way average since at least November.
01:10:40.000 We'll look at the two-way average, the two-man average, the two men being Joe Biden and Trump.
01:10:46.000 And he's up by slightly less, 1.5% in the average.
01:10:50.000 And he's been in the lead.
01:10:51.000 You can see that they decoupled magically right around October 7th.
01:10:58.000 Sort of interesting how that works.
01:11:01.000 But so this is the polling.
01:11:02.000 We'll take a look at some of the swing states though.
01:11:03.000 I think that's interesting as well.
01:11:07.000 Let's see if we can get our battleground states.
01:11:13.000 So these are our top battleground elections, our battleground states.
01:11:19.000 And Trump is in the lead in basically every single one.
01:11:22.000 In Arizona, Trump is up by nearly 6% on average.
01:11:26.000 In Nevada, he's up by almost 3%.
01:11:28.000 Wisconsin is a tie.
01:11:30.000 It's a perfect tie.
01:11:32.000 Michigan, Trump is barely up 0.5% on the average.
01:11:36.000 In Pennsylvania, he's up almost 3%.
01:11:38.000 North Carolina, he's up 6.7%.
01:11:40.000 Not really a swing state.
01:11:41.000 He'll probably take that easily.
01:11:44.000 And in Georgia, he's up by 4%.
01:11:46.000 What's interesting, I don't know if it shows it here,
01:11:49.000 But if you take a look and see where Trump was in 2016, because I believe it shows that data.
01:12:00.000 Let's see if it does.
01:12:01.000 I think it did at one point.
01:12:03.000 Yeah, so if you take a look at a state like Arizona, here's an interesting figure for you.
01:12:08.000 So for example, right now in 2024, Trump is up by 5.6% in the average.
01:12:10.000 But on this day,
01:12:16.000 In 2016, 8 years ago, Clinton was up by 2.
01:12:21.000 On this day in 2020, 4 years ago, Biden was up by 5.
01:12:27.000 So that gives you an idea, as a control variable, of how much better Trump is performing in 2024.
01:12:36.000 Throughout 2016 and 2020, Trump did not sustain a high polling average lead in almost any of the key battleground states.
01:12:47.000 But he has this year.
01:12:49.000 In 2020, it was flipped.
01:12:51.000 On this day, 4 years ago, Biden was up by 5.
01:12:54.000 Today, Trump is up by 5.
01:12:56.000 And this is the average, not just any one poll.
01:12:58.000 And 8 years ago, Clinton was up by 2.
01:13:00.000 And Trump won Arizona in 2016.
01:13:04.000 So that gives you a little comparative idea of what we might be looking at in 2024.
01:13:13.000 So that's where we are with the polling.
01:13:14.000 That's where we are with the forecast.
01:13:17.000 And I will say, however, of course this is all about the election.
01:13:22.000 I think it's dubious how much the debate will have an impact.
01:13:26.000 I think that in 2020 the general election debate had virtually no impact.
01:13:32.000 And of course, 2020 was a bit of a strange year because of the pandemic.
01:13:36.000 And actually, there were only two debates in 2020.
01:13:39.000 Normally, there's three.
01:13:41.000 But in 2020, because they could not come to an agreement on the venue for the second debate, they cancelled that.
01:13:48.000 But I think that, if you'll recall, in 2020, it was a basically forgettable series of debates.
01:13:55.000 I think they had no impact.
01:13:57.000 And then again, everybody, I think, was far more concerned about George Floyd, COVID, the recession.
01:14:03.000 But nevertheless, it was not fireworks in 2020.
01:14:07.000 2016, it was a different story.
01:14:09.000 2016, I think the second presidential debate, I think that flipped it.
01:14:13.000 That came on the heels of the Billy Bush tape, which was leaked in October.
01:14:18.000 And then Trump came back a few days later in the debate and told Hillary Clinton she was going to go to jail.
01:14:24.000 And it permanently, I think, changed the outcome of the race.
01:14:27.000 I rushed to my laptop.
01:14:28.000 I put $700 or $300 down on Trump winning the election when he said that.
01:14:33.000 I was like, that's the moment.
01:14:36.000 So, it'll be interesting to see if tonight is more like 2016 or more like 2020.
01:14:41.000 And I'm curious how aggressive Trump is going to play it.
01:14:44.000 The one memorable thing about 2020 is that he was extremely... Trump, I'm talking about, was extremely aggressive in the first debate.
01:14:53.000 To the point where I think it actually turned a lot of people off.
01:14:56.000 I don't know that it made people vote against him, but I think a lot of people didn't like that.
01:15:00.000 And so now that Biden is in a much more weakened condition, will Trump attempt to push the envelope again or will he let Joe Biden have enough rope to hang himself, so to speak?
01:15:12.000 I think that's kind of what people are going to be looking for.
01:15:16.000 So that's a little preview of the debate.
01:15:18.000 I have to tell you tonight, I'm gonna be cheering for Trump, but, as I've said, and I'll spend a little bit of time on this, if you're just joining us here, we're doing our pre-coverage.
01:15:28.000 The debate is in just about 10 minutes.
01:15:32.000 So we're getting very close to the edge here, 10 minutes away.
01:15:35.000 We're gonna talk about two more things, and then I think we'll be ready for the debate here.
01:15:40.000 But the first thing I wanna say is this.
01:15:42.000 I'm gonna be rooting for Trump tonight.
01:15:45.000 Because I love him.
01:15:47.000 I love him as a guy.
01:15:47.000 I think he's a great American.
01:15:49.000 I think he's an American legend.
01:15:50.000 I think he's one of the finest presidents.
01:15:54.000 But with that being said, right now, I remain an uncommitted voter.
01:15:59.000 And I want to explain my position briefly, just for people that haven't heard from me in a minute, if you're tuning in to watch the debate coverage.
01:16:05.000 I'm not an anti-Trumper.
01:16:06.000 I'm not a never-Trumper.
01:16:08.000 I don't support Joe Biden.
01:16:09.000 I'm not a Democrat.
01:16:10.000 I would never vote for Joe Biden.
01:16:13.000 But I think that if you're honest, and I think if you're being objective, Donald Trump did not achieve everything that he set out to achieve in his first term.
01:16:23.000 And I think there's a lot of legitimate excuses for that.
01:16:26.000 I think the Republicans in Congress stonewalled him, and then the Democrats did when they won the House in 2018.
01:16:32.000 I think that he was sabotaged by his own personnel, some of whom he appointed and some of whom he didn't.
01:16:39.000 And they bragged about it openly.
01:16:40.000 They took out a front page op-ed in the New York Times.
01:16:44.000 And they said, I am the deep state and I'm sabotaging Trump.
01:16:47.000 And the guy was unmasked later on, but they were bragging about it.
01:16:51.000 Trump was screwed with the pandemic, the election was stolen, and then they even conspired to shut down the attempt to repair the election.
01:17:01.000 There's a big-time magazine article about that in January 2021.
01:17:06.000 So, there's a lot of excuses for why it didn't work out, but the main reason it didn't work out in 2016 is that he chose all the wrong personnel.
01:17:16.000 He didn't take it seriously.
01:17:18.000 He let the RNC and guys like Reince Priebus do all the hiring.
01:17:23.000 He appointed really bad cabinet members like Betsy DeVos and Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo and Rex Tillerson and a lot of people that he's no longer friends with anymore.
01:17:35.000 So he had a lot of lousy personnel in the cabinet and a lot of lousy personnel that filled up the whole administration.
01:17:41.000 And he delegated far too much to Jared Kushner.
01:17:44.000 He delegated Middle East peace, negotiations with Congress over the border wall, the USMCA, which was the revised NAFTA agreement.
01:17:54.000 And so, there were a lot of problems back then, and I would say that the other disappointment from the first term is that Trump fundamentally changed.
01:18:03.000 The proposition in 2016, or even earlier in 2015, was that Trump was a true outsider, who was rich enough that he didn't need donor money,
01:18:13.000 And as such, would not be controlled by special interests and donors.
01:18:18.000 As a political outsider, he would not owe anybody any favors.
01:18:22.000 He didn't come with the Republican Party, it was just Trump.
01:18:25.000 And he, speaking for the people, really rallied everybody on three issues.
01:18:30.000 It was trade restriction, or trade protectionism, immigration restriction, specifically building a wall, deporting illegals, even potentially lowering legal immigration, and ending foreign wars.
01:18:43.000 We're good to go.
01:19:00.000 Going to support the status quo on Israel's wars in the Middle East.
01:19:04.000 We're getting somebody that, as of last week, said he supports stapling green cards to diplomas, which is basically like unlimited legal immigration.
01:19:13.000 That's what that is.
01:19:14.000 If you give American corporations a license to print green cards by going through the universities, they will.
01:19:22.000 They will set up fake degree programs and they will import as much foreign labor, skilled, unskilled, whatever, as possible because it's cheap and they can.
01:19:35.000 And this is what's being promised now to the donors in Silicon Valley.
01:19:39.000 He made that promise at a fundraiser with donors from Silicon Valley.
01:19:43.000 And so you look across the board at things like this and this is just a fundamentally different, it's a different guy.
01:19:49.000 It's a different proposition.
01:19:51.000 This is not a billionaire self-funding with no special interests and no Republican Party and bringing an end to immigration and foreign wars.
01:19:58.000 This is somebody who's now bringing into the White House
01:20:02.000 Nikki Haley, who he promised a spot in the cabinet.
01:20:05.000 Kevin McCarthy, Rick Grinnell.
01:20:07.000 He's being funded to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars by major donors in Silicon Valley, Zionists like Miriam Adelson.
01:20:17.000 And the promises have changed.
01:20:18.000 He's now promising mass legal immigration and probably will commit to supporting the current regional war that Israel's perpetrating in Gaza and potentially in the future Lebanon and Iran.
01:20:32.000 This is where we are.
01:20:33.000 This is the state of things.
01:20:35.000 What's more, it doesn't seem that the personnel problems have been remedied.
01:20:39.000 All the same terrible people are running the Trump campaign that were running the Trump administration.
01:20:44.000 And all the same terrible people that were brought in then are being brought in now.
01:20:48.000 So, as of right now, I cannot in good conscience vote for this.
01:20:52.000 I think it's probably better that Trump wins.
01:20:55.000 I will not be disappointed if or when he does.
01:20:59.000 I think that we'll have to labor to do whatever we can to steer the ship if Trump wins.
01:21:07.000 But I have to exert my leverage before the election right now, and I think other America First voters should too, by saying we are not okay with Nikki Haley in the White House.
01:21:17.000 We're not okay.
01:21:17.000 Fuckin' dammit, hang on.
01:21:25.000 Are we still live?
01:21:26.000 Somebody told me Rumble went down.
01:21:30.000 I think the whole website might be crashing, so if you are in the stream, don't refresh.
01:21:36.000 You gotta keep it live.
01:21:43.000 But I'm getting reports that the Rumble website is down.
01:21:48.000 Not just my stream, but it seems the whole website is down.
01:21:53.000 So if you're in here, stay in here.
01:21:55.000 Yeah, okay, we're having a problem.
01:22:08.000 All right, well, let's just stay put here.
01:22:15.000 Someone's saying it's laggy.
01:22:16.000 I guess they're having problems at Rumble.
01:22:20.000 So bear with us here.
01:22:25.000 Okay, yeah, I'm getting mixed messages.
01:22:27.000 Some people are saying it's working, some people are saying it's not working.
01:22:31.000 I guess I'll just keep going.
01:22:32.000 I'll keep you guys apprised of the situation.
01:22:37.000 It seems that the website is down, site-wide.
01:22:42.000 No communication yet from Chris Pavlovsky or Rumble itself.
01:22:47.000 So, hang tight!
01:22:50.000 If the website is laggy, just don't leave the page.
01:22:54.000 Don't refresh, because it is going to get shut down.
01:22:58.000 And we're going to keep going.
01:23:01.000 If it doesn't work, we'll just re-upload the full recording for everybody later, okay?
01:23:06.000 But all right.
01:23:07.000 Okay, well it looks like we're getting into it, so I apologize.
01:23:10.000 My monologue there was kind of cut short, but that is really the basis.
01:23:13.000 I think that we must remain, at least for now, uncommitted.
01:23:17.000 I'm gonna give Trump time to earn my vote over the next six months or five months.
01:23:22.000 We'll see what happens at the convention.
01:23:24.000 We'll see what happens tonight.
01:23:25.000 We'll see what happens as the race begins to narrow.
01:23:28.000 But as of right now, I have to be honest, it almost seems like Trump has capitulated, excuse me, almost entirely to the Republican establishment.
01:23:37.000 And I am not a Republican.
01:23:40.000 I'm not a Republican establishment guy.
01:23:42.000 I'm not a party guy.
01:23:43.000 I don't support the team.
01:23:44.000 I think the team sucks.
01:23:46.000 I'm not welcome in it.
01:23:47.000 I think real patriots are not welcome in it.
01:23:50.000 I think they screw us over every time.
01:23:52.000 And so if Trump is only an instrument to get people to buy back into that scam,
01:23:59.000 Then I can in good conscience support it.
01:24:03.000 I'm not going to support the other side.
01:24:05.000 I'm not going to be upset if they prevail.
01:24:07.000 But I just can't lean into it.
01:24:09.000 I can't force it.
01:24:11.000 But the other thing I want to get into very briefly, it looks like we're just minutes away from the debate premiere here.
01:24:18.000 But the one last thing I want to touch on, the other major, major question here, and I'm also going to keep you updated on Rumble.
01:24:24.000 We'll see if it gets better for people.
01:24:26.000 I think they're probably just overwhelmed with all the traffic.
01:24:32.000 But I'm sure it'll come back over time.
01:24:34.000 I bet they're scrambling.
01:24:36.000 But the other big question is this Vice President pick.
01:24:40.000 And the rumor is that the Vice President is in attendance at the debate tonight, although that doesn't give us a ton of clues because I think they're all going to be there.
01:24:49.000 Tim Scott, JD Vance, Doug Burgum, Vivek, they're all going to be at the debate.
01:24:58.000 Okay, so I don't know what's going on with Rumble, if we're still live or not.
01:25:03.000 We have a lot of people freaking out, saying it's totally down.
01:25:07.000 Some people are saying it's not.
01:25:10.000 But in any case, we might have to switch over to Cozy.
01:25:13.000 I guess we'll have to wait and see.
01:25:14.000 Have to wait and see how it goes.
01:25:18.000 They picked a really good night for the whole thing to shut down and literally right before the debate.
01:25:22.000 I guess it's just the traffic.
01:25:27.000 But... Alright.
01:25:32.000 Well, we're getting started anyway, so I guess we'll just turn on the coverage.
01:25:35.000 We'll wait for it to come back.
01:25:56.000 Okay, we're good?
01:26:06.000 Okay, so some people I guess are saying it's still live.
01:26:09.000 So I guess very few people are able to watch it.
01:26:13.000 We're gonna keep going.
01:26:15.000 Okay, so we're gonna keep going of course.
01:26:17.000 Just don't touch that refresh button.
01:26:19.000 I can't even get the stream on my end.
01:26:21.000 That's why I thought it was down.
01:26:23.000 So bear with us.
01:26:24.000 Technical difficulties.
01:26:26.000 It's not me.
01:26:27.000 It's the website.
01:26:28.000 I think people understand that though.
01:26:31.000 But we're just gonna stick with it.
01:26:32.000 I'm sure it'll get better as the night goes on.
01:26:35.000 It's probably a traffic issue.
01:26:37.000 It's probably the biggest night they've ever had.
01:26:39.000 Everybody tuning in to watch the debate live.
01:26:42.000 Especially if it's on CNN, you know, these Trump supporters would rather be dead than watch CNN I'm gonna watch on rumble, you know, so they're all gonna be you got a hundred million Trump supporters are all tuning in on rumble Because they don't want that fake news, you know, so it's probably crashed the entire site just because of the volume
01:27:01.000 But that's okay.
01:27:02.000 You know, if you're able to get it, stay tuned.
01:27:05.000 If not, well, you can't hear me anyway.
01:27:08.000 So, I guess, you know, it doesn't really matter.
01:27:11.000 But alright.
01:27:12.000 Okay.
01:27:12.000 Well, here we are.
01:27:13.000 It's 8 o'clock.
01:27:15.000 It's 8 o'clock.
01:27:16.000 Here we go.
01:27:18.000 Let's lock in.
01:27:20.000 Let me get the audio here.
01:27:26.000 And here we go!
01:27:27.000 Mistakes in this election couldn't be higher.
01:27:30.000 November 5th will be the most important day in the history of our country.
01:27:35.000 Let's do this.
01:27:36.000 This is a CBS News special.
01:27:38.000 America decides.
01:27:40.000 The first presidential debate.
01:27:42.000 Now reporting, Norah O'Donnell.
01:27:46.000 Good evening.
01:27:46.000 We are just moments away from one of the most consequential events of this presidential campaign.
01:27:52.000 President Biden and former President Trump face off in the first debate of the general election.
01:27:58.000 The two meeting for the first time since 2020.
01:28:01.000 They will outline their contrasting visions for America.
01:28:05.000 This is also a chance for you, the voters, to judge the candidates in one of the only face-to-face confrontations before the election.
01:28:14.000 Our CBS News team will be back after the debate for analysis and fact-checking.
01:28:18.000 Now to Atlanta for the first presidential debate hosted by CNN.
01:28:24.000 Both of the moderators are Jewish, by the way.
01:28:26.000 Just thought I'd remind everybody.
01:28:27.000 But that's perfectly normal.
01:28:31.000 Good evening, I'm Dana Bash, anchor of CNN's Inside Politics and co-anchor of State of the Union.
01:28:37.000 I'm Jake Tapper, anchor of CNN's The Lead and co-anchor of State of the Union.
01:28:41.000 Dana and I will co-moderate this evening.
01:28:43.000 Our job is to facilitate a debate between the two candidates tonight.
01:28:49.000 Before we introduce them, we want to share the rules of the debate with the audience at home.
01:28:53.000 No.
01:28:54.000 Can I just say... Muting the mic is so gay.
01:28:55.000 They made this big show of like...
01:29:19.000 And you can see it now.
01:29:19.000 They made this big show.
01:29:21.000 I don't know if you saw the video, but they said, we have a new system this year.
01:29:24.000 We're gonna mute the mics if the other guy interrupts.
01:29:27.000 That's just like the gayest thing ever.
01:29:31.000 Like, everybody knows that in a debate, there does need to be, like, yelling over the other guy.
01:29:35.000 And it's like, the guy that's like, can you mute his mic?
01:29:38.000 That guy sucks.
01:29:39.000 Like, that guy's the loser.
01:29:41.000 He's clearly losing.
01:29:42.000 So, this whole, like, mute him.
01:29:44.000 Mods, can we get a moderator to mute this guy?
01:29:47.000 Like, you know.
01:29:48.000 So, if you can't alpha in a two-person debate, you shouldn't be president.
01:29:54.000 Alright, here we go.
01:29:56.000 The president's gonna say, Hey man, can you mute his mic?
01:30:00.000 Alright, here we go.
01:30:01.000 He looks like shit.
01:30:03.000 Dude, listen to him!
01:30:06.000 And please welcome the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump.
01:30:11.000 Alright, let's go.
01:30:12.000 Pants pulled up high.
01:30:14.000 Look at this absolute eunuch.
01:30:18.000 This is the man!
01:30:22.000 Gentlemen, thanks so much for being here.
01:30:23.000 Let's begin the debate, and let's start with the issue that voters consistently say is their top concern, the economy.
01:30:31.000 President Biden, inflation has slowed, but prices remain high.
01:30:35.000 Since you took office, the price of essentials has increased.
01:30:39.000 For example, a basket of groceries that cost $100 then now costs more than $120.
01:30:42.000 And typical home prices have jumped more than 30%.
01:30:49.000 What do you say to voters who feel they are worse off under your presidency than they were under President Trump?
01:30:55.000 Take a look at what I was left when I became president and what Mr. Trump left me.
01:30:59.000 We had an economy that was in freefall.
01:31:02.000 The pandemic was so badly handled.
01:31:04.000 Many people were dying.
01:31:05.000 All he said was it's not that serious.
01:31:07.000 Just inject a little bleach in your arm.
01:31:09.000 You'll be alright.
01:31:10.000 The economy collapsed.
01:31:12.000 This is unbelievable.
01:31:14.000 Wow!
01:31:14.000 Wow!
01:31:30.000 There's more to be done.
01:31:31.000 Working class people are still in trouble.
01:31:34.000 I come from Scranton, Pennsylvania.
01:31:35.000 I come from a household where the kitchen table, if things weren't able to be met during the month, there was a problem.
01:31:40.000 The price of eggs, the price of gas, the price of housing, the price of a whole range of things.
01:31:45.000 That's why I'm working so hard to make sure I deal with those problems.
01:31:49.000 And we're going to make sure that we reduce the price of housing.
01:31:52.000 We're going to make sure we build two million new units.
01:31:55.000 This is nuts.
01:31:55.000 It's over.
01:31:56.000 It's over.
01:32:20.000 Thank you.
01:32:21.000 President Trump?
01:32:49.000 We're the greatest economy in the history of our country.
01:32:53.000 We have never done so well.
01:32:56.000 Everybody was amazed by it.
01:32:58.000 Other countries were copying us.
01:32:59.000 We got hit with COVID.
01:33:01.000 And when we did, we spent the money necessary so we wouldn't end up in a Great Depression, the likes of which we had in 1929.
01:33:09.000 We're good to go.
01:33:30.000 Thank you, President Biden.
01:33:51.000 Well, look, the greatest economy in the world.
01:33:52.000 He's the only one who thinks that, I think.
01:33:54.000 I don't know anybody else who thinks that we have the greatest economy in the world.
01:33:58.000 You know, the fact of the matter is that we found ourselves in a situation where his economy, he rewarded the wealthy.
01:34:07.000 He had the largest tax cut in American history.
01:34:09.000 We're two minutes in!
01:34:10.000 He raised the deficit larger than any president has in any one term.
01:34:14.000 We're good to go.
01:34:35.000 We were a safe country.
01:34:37.000 Truth is, I'm the only president this century that doesn't have any, this decade, that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did.
01:34:48.000 President Trump, I want to follow up if I can.
01:34:51.000 Am I allowed to respond to him?
01:34:52.000 Well, I'm going to ask you a follow-up.
01:34:53.000 You can do whatever you want with the minute that we give you.
01:34:55.000 I want to follow up.
01:34:57.000 You want to impose a 10% tariff on all goods coming into the U.S.
01:35:01.000 How will you ensure that that doesn't drive prices even higher?
01:35:04.000 Not going to drive them higher.
01:35:05.000 It's just going to cost countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China, and many others, in all fairness to China.
01:35:11.000 It's going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things.
01:35:17.000 But he made a statement.
01:35:19.000 The only thing he was right about is I gave you the largest tax cut in history.
01:35:23.000 I also gave you the largest regulation cut in history.
01:35:26.000 That's why we had all the jobs.
01:35:27.000 We're good.
01:35:44.000 I don't know.
01:36:04.000 President Trump, over the last eight years, under both of your administrations, the national debt soared to record highs.
01:36:10.000 And according to a new nonpartisan analysis, President Trump, your administration approved $8.4 trillion in new debt, while so far, President Biden, you've approved $4.3 trillion in new debt.
01:36:21.000 Look at him, man.
01:36:22.000 Wow.
01:36:38.000 Because the tax cuts spurred the greatest economy that we've ever seen, just prior to COVID.
01:36:43.000 And even after COVID, it was so strong that we were able to get through COVID much better than just about any other country.
01:36:49.000 But we spurred, that tax spurred.
01:36:51.000 Now, when we cut the taxes, as an example, the corporate tax was cut down to
01:36:56.000 21% from 39%, plus beyond that.
01:36:59.000 We took in more revenue with much less tax, and companies were bringing back trillions of dollars back into our country.
01:37:06.000 The country was going like never before.
01:37:09.000 And we were ready to start paying down debt.
01:37:11.000 We were ready to start using the liquid gold right under our feet, the oil and gas right under our feet.
01:37:16.000 We were going to have something that nobody else has had.
01:37:19.000 We got hit with COVID.
01:37:21.000 We did a lot to fix it.
01:37:22.000 I gave him an unbelievable situation.
01:37:25.000 With all of the therapeutics and all of the things that we came up with, we gave him something great.
01:37:30.000 Remember, more people died under his administration, even though we had largely fixed it.
01:37:37.000 More people died under his administration than our administration, and we were right in the middle of it.
01:37:42.000 Something which a lot of people don't like to talk about.
01:37:45.000 But he had far more people dying in his administration.
01:37:48.000 He did the mandate, which is a disaster, mandating it.
01:37:51.000 We're good to go.
01:38:14.000 President Trump, we will get to immigration later in this block.
01:38:16.000 President Biden, I want to give you an opportunity to respond to this question about the national debt.
01:38:43.000 He had the largest national debt of any president in a four-year period, number one.
01:38:47.000 Number two, he got a $2 trillion tax cut and benefited the very wealthy.
01:38:52.000 What I'm going to do is fix the taxes.
01:38:54.000 For example, we have a thousand billionaires in America.
01:38:59.000 I don't
01:39:17.000 Make sure that all those things we need to do, child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with dealing with everything we have to do with.
01:39:40.000 Look, if we finally beat Medicare,
01:39:45.000 Thank you President Biden, President Trump.
01:39:48.000 Well, he's right.
01:39:49.000 He did beat Medicare.
01:39:50.000 He beat it to death.
01:39:51.000 And he's destroying Medicare.
01:39:53.000 Because all of these people are coming in.
01:39:55.000 They're putting them on Medicare.
01:39:56.000 They're putting them on Social Security.
01:39:58.000 They're going to destroy Social Security.
01:40:00.000 This man is going to single-handedly destroy Social Security.
01:40:04.000 These millions and millions of people coming in, they're trying to put them on Social Security.
01:40:09.000 He will wipe out Social Security.
01:40:11.000 He will wipe out Medicare.
01:40:13.000 So he was right in the way he finished that sentence.
01:40:15.000 And it's a shame.
01:40:16.000 What's happened to our country
01:40:18.000 Thank you, President Trump.
01:40:46.000 This is the first presidential election since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
01:40:51.000 This morning, the Court ruled on yet another abortion case, temporarily allowing emergency abortions to continue in Idaho despite that state's restrictive ban.
01:41:02.000 Former President Trump
01:41:04.000 You take credit for the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which returned the issue of abortion to the states.
01:41:10.000 Correct.
01:41:11.000 However, the federal government still plays a role in whether or not women have access to abortion pills.
01:41:19.000 They're used in about two-thirds of all abortions.
01:41:23.000 As president, would you block abortion medication?
01:41:27.000 First of all, the Supreme Court just approved the abortion bill, and I agree with their decision to have done that, and I will not block it.
01:41:35.000 And if you look at this whole question that you're asking, a complex, but not really complex.
01:41:41.000 51 years ago, you had Roe v. Wade, and everybody wanted to get it back to the states.
01:41:46.000 Everybody, without exception.
01:41:47.000 Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives.
01:41:50.000 Everybody wanted it back.
01:41:52.000 Religious leaders.
01:41:53.000 And
01:42:13.000 Throughout the world, the most respected wanted it brought back to the states.
01:42:17.000 I did that.
01:42:18.000 Now the states are working it out.
01:42:20.000 If you look at Ohio, it was a decision that was an end result.
01:42:24.000 It was a little bit more liberal than you would have thought.
01:42:26.000 Kansas, I would say the same thing.
01:42:29.000 Texas is different.
01:42:30.000 Florida is different.
01:42:31.000 But they're all making their own decisions right now.
01:42:34.000 And right now, the states control it.
01:42:36.000 That's the vote of the people.
01:42:38.000 Like Ronald Reagan, I believe in the exceptions.
01:42:41.000 I am a person that believes.
01:42:43.000 And frankly, I think it's important to believe in the exceptions.
01:42:46.000 Some people, you have to follow your heart.
01:42:47.000 Some people don't believe in that.
01:42:49.000 But I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
01:42:54.000 I think it's very important.
01:42:55.000 Some people don't.
01:42:56.000 Follow your heart.
01:42:57.000 But, you have to get elected also.
01:42:59.000 And, because that has to do with other things.
01:43:01.000 You gotta get elected.
01:43:02.000 The problem they have is they're radicals because they will... I love that.
01:43:06.000 Take the life of a child in the 8th month, the 9th month, and even after birth.
01:43:10.000 After birth, if you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this.
01:43:15.000 He said, we'll put the baby aside and we'll determine what we do with the baby, meaning we'll kill the baby.
01:43:21.000 What happened is we brought it back to the states and the country is now coming together on this issue.
01:43:26.000 It's been a great thing.
01:43:28.000 Thank you.
01:43:28.000 President Biden?
01:43:29.000 It's been a terrible thing, what you've done.
01:43:32.000 The fact is that the vast majority of constitutional scholars supported Roe when it was decided.
01:43:36.000 Supported Roe.
01:43:38.000 And that's this idea that they were all against him.
01:43:41.000 It's just ridiculous.
01:43:42.000 And this is the guy who says the state should be able to have it.
01:43:44.000 We're in a state where in six weeks, you don't even know whether you're pregnant or not, but you cannot see a doctor and have him decide on what your circumstances are.
01:43:56.000 The idea that states are able to do this is a little like saying we're going to turn civil rights back to the states, that each state have a different rule.
01:44:04.000 Look, there's so many young women who have been, including a young woman who just was murdered.
01:44:08.000 And he went to the funeral.
01:44:11.000 And the idea that she was murdered by an immigrant coming in to talk about that.
01:44:18.000 But here's the deal.
01:44:19.000 There's a lot of young women to be raped by their in-laws, by their spouses, brothers and sisters.
01:44:28.000 It's just ridiculous.
01:44:29.000 And they can do nothing about it.
01:44:31.000 And they try to arrest them and they cross state lines.
01:44:33.000 Thank you.
01:44:34.000 There have been many young women murdered by the same people he allows to come across our border.
01:44:40.000 We have a border that's the most dangerous place anywhere in the world.
01:44:43.000 Consider, the most dangerous place anywhere in the world.
01:44:46.000 And he opened it up, and these killers are coming into our country.
01:44:50.000 And they are raping and killing women.
01:44:53.000 And it's a terrible thing.
01:44:54.000 As far as the abortion is concerned, it is now back with the states.
01:44:57.000 The states are voting.
01:44:58.000 In many cases, it's frankly a very liberal decision.
01:45:02.000 In many cases, it's the opposite.
01:45:04.000 But they're voting, and it's bringing it back to the vote of the people, which is what everybody wanted, including the founders, if they knew about this issue, which, frankly, they didn't.
01:45:13.000 But they would have—everybody wanted it brought back.
01:45:16.000 Ronald Reagan wanted it brought back.
01:45:18.000 He wasn't able to get it.
01:45:19.000 Everybody wanted it brought back.
01:45:21.000 And many presidents have tried to get it back.
01:45:24.000 I was the one to do it.
01:45:25.000 And again, this gives it the vote of the people, and that's where they wanted it.
01:45:29.000 Every legal scholar wanted it that way.
01:45:32.000 Staying on the topic of abortion, President Biden, seven states, I'll let you do that, this is the same topic, seven states have no legal restrictions on how far into a pregnancy a woman can obtain an abortion.
01:45:46.000 Do you support any legal limits on how late a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy?
01:45:52.000 I support it, Roe v. Wade.
01:45:53.000 It said three trimesters.
01:45:55.000 First time is between the woman and the doctor.
01:45:58.000 Second time is between the doctor and an extreme situation.
01:46:02.000 The third time is between the doctor, I mean between the woman and the state.
01:46:07.000 The idea that the politicians, that the founders wanted the politicians to be the ones making decisions about women's health is ridiculous.
01:46:15.000 That's the last.
01:46:16.000 No politician should be making that decision.
01:46:18.000 A doctor should be making those decisions.
01:46:20.000 That's how it should be run.
01:46:21.000 That's what you're going to do.
01:46:23.000 And if I'm elected, I'm going to restore Roe v. Wade.
01:46:26.000 Oh my gosh.
01:46:26.000 Look at him!
01:46:27.000 Look at him!
01:46:52.000 That is simply not true.
01:46:54.000 The Roe v. Wade does not provide for that.
01:46:57.000 That's not the circumstance.
01:46:58.000 Only if a woman's life is in danger, she's going to die.
01:47:01.000 That's the only circumstance in which that can happen.
01:47:03.000 But we are not for late-term abortion.
01:47:05.000 Period.
01:47:06.000 Period.
01:47:06.000 Period.
01:47:07.000 Under Roe v. Wade, you have late-term abortion.
01:47:11.000 You can do whatever you want, depending on the state.
01:47:13.000 You can do whatever you want.
01:47:14.000 We don't think that's a good thing.
01:47:15.000 We think it's a radical thing.
01:47:17.000 We think the Democrats are the radicals, not the Republicans.
01:47:20.000 For 51 years, that was the law.
01:47:22.000 Fifty-one years, Constance's scholarship said it was the right way to go.
01:47:26.000 Fifty-one years, and it was taken away because this guy put very conservative members on the Supreme Court.
01:47:31.000 He takes credit for taking it away.
01:47:33.000 What's he going to do?
01:47:34.000 What's he going to do, in fact, if the MAGA Republicans, he gets elected, and the MAGA Republicans control the Congress, and they pass a universal ban on abortion, period, across the board, at six weeks or seven or eight or ten weeks?
01:47:48.000 Something very, very conservative.
01:47:50.000 But you're going to sign that bill?
01:47:51.000 I'll veto it.
01:47:52.000 He'll sign it.
01:47:53.000 Thank you.
01:47:54.000 Let's turn now to the issue of immigration and border security.
01:47:57.000 President Biden, a record number of migrants have illegally crossed the southern border on your watch.
01:48:03.000 Overwhelming border states and overburdening cities such as New York and Chicago, and in some cases causing real safety and security concerns.
01:48:10.000 Given that, why should voters trust you to solve this crisis?
01:48:14.000 Because we worked very hard to get a bipartisan agreement that not only changed all of that, it made sure that we are in a situation where you had no circumstance where they can come across the border with the number of border police there are now.
01:48:28.000 We significantly increased the number of asylum officers.
01:48:31.000 Significantly, by the way, the Border Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position.
01:48:36.000 In addition to that, we find ourselves in a situation where when he was president, he was separating babies from their mothers, putting them in cages, making sure the families were separated.
01:48:47.000 That's not the right way to go.
01:48:49.000 What I've done since I've changed the law, what's happened?
01:48:52.000 I've changed it in a way that now you're in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally.
01:48:59.000 That's better than when he left office.
01:49:01.000 And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban.
01:49:04.000 I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence.
01:49:08.000 I don't think he knows what he said either.
01:49:19.000 We had the safest border in the history of our country.
01:49:22.000 All he had to do was leave it.
01:49:23.000 All he had to do was leave it.
01:49:25.000 He decided to open up our border, open up our country to people that are from prisons.
01:49:32.000 People that are from mental institutions, insane asylum.
01:49:35.000 Terrorists.
01:49:36.000 We have the largest number of terrorists coming into our country right now.
01:49:39.000 All terrorists.
01:49:40.000 All over the world.
01:49:41.000 Not just in South America.
01:49:42.000 All over the world they come.
01:49:43.000 From the Middle East.
01:49:44.000 Everywhere.
01:49:45.000 All over the world they're pouring in.
01:49:47.000 And this guy just left it open.
01:49:49.000 And he didn't need legislation, because I didn't have legislation.
01:49:52.000 I said, close the border.
01:49:53.000 We had the safest border in history.
01:49:55.000 In that final couple of months of my presidency, we had, according to Border Patrol, who is great, and by the way, who endorsed me for president, but I won't say that, but they endorsed me for president.
01:50:06.000 Brandon, just speak to him.
01:50:08.000 But we had the safest border in history.
01:50:11.000 No, we had the worst border in history.
01:50:12.000 There's never been anything like it.
01:50:14.000 And people are dying all over the place, including the people that are coming up in caravans.
01:50:18.000 Thank you, President Trump.
01:50:20.000 President Biden?
01:50:20.000 No terrorist has done anything across the border.
01:50:23.000 There's one who came along and killed three in his administration.
01:50:27.000 Killed an al-Qaeda person who came in in his administration.
01:50:31.000 Kill three American soldiers.
01:50:34.000 Kill three American soldiers.
01:50:35.000 That's the only terrorist that's there.
01:50:37.000 I'm not saying no terrorist ever got through with the idea.
01:50:40.000 They're emptying their prisons.
01:50:41.000 We're welcoming these people.
01:50:43.000 That's simply not true.
01:50:44.000 There's no data to support what he said.
01:50:46.000 Once again, he's exaggerating.
01:50:48.000 He's lying.
01:50:49.000 President Trump, staying on the topic of immigration, you've said that you're going to carry out, quote, the largest domestic deportation operation in American history, unquote.
01:50:58.000 Does that mean that you will deport every undocumented immigrant in America, including those who have jobs, including those whose spouses are citizens, and including those who have lived here for decades?
01:51:08.000 And if so, how will you do it?
01:51:10.000 Just one second.
01:51:11.000 He said we kill three people.
01:51:13.000 The people we killed are al-Baghdadi and Soleimani, the two greatest terrorists, biggest terrorists anywhere in the world, and it had a huge impact on everything, not just border, on everything.
01:51:25.000 He's the one that killed people with the bad water, including hundreds of thousands of people dying, and also killing our citizens when they come in.
01:51:34.000 We are living right now in a rat's nest.
01:51:37.000 They're killing our people in New York, in California, in every...
01:51:41.000 Grass nest.
01:51:41.000 I love that.
01:52:08.000 One of them, I just spoke to the mother, and he just had the funeral for this girl, 12 years old.
01:52:14.000 This is horrible what's taken place, what's taken place in our country.
01:52:18.000 We're literally an uncivilized country now.
01:52:22.000 He doesn't want it to be, he just doesn't know.
01:52:24.000 He opened the borders, nobody's ever seen anything like it.
01:52:27.000 Ha ha!
01:52:45.000 And he doesn't care about our veterans.
01:52:46.000 Nobody been worse.
01:52:47.000 I had the highest approval rating for veterans taking care of the VA.
01:52:51.000 He has the worst.
01:52:52.000 He's gotten rid of all the things that I approved.
01:52:54.000 Choice, that I got through Congress.
01:52:57.000 All of the different things I approved, they abandoned.
01:53:00.000 We had by far the highest, and now it's down in less than half, because he's done all these great things that we did, and I think he did it just because I approved it, which is crazy.
01:53:10.000 But he has killed so many people at our border by allowing all of these people to come in.
01:53:14.000 And it's a very sad day in America.
01:53:16.000 President Biden, you have the mic.
01:53:17.000 Every single thing he said is a lie.
01:53:19.000 Every single one.
01:53:20.000 For example, veterans are a hell of a lot better off since I passed the PACT Act.
01:53:25.000 One million of them now have insurance and their families have it.
01:53:29.000 Their families have it because what happened, whether it was Agent Orange or burn pits, they're all being covered now.
01:53:35.000 He's toast.
01:53:36.000 And his group opposed that.
01:53:38.000 We're also in a situation where we have great respect for veterans.
01:53:41.000 My son spent a year in Iraq.
01:53:43.000 Oh, God.
01:53:43.000 Oh, please.
01:54:12.000 First of all, that was a made-up quote.
01:54:13.000 Suckers and losers.
01:54:14.000 They made it up.
01:54:15.000 It was in a third-rate magazine that's failing, like many of these magazines.
01:54:19.000 He made that up.
01:54:20.000 He put it in commercials.
01:54:21.000 We've notified him.
01:54:23.000 We had 19 people that said I didn't say it.
01:54:25.000 And think of this.
01:54:26.000 Who would say, I'm at a cemetery, or I'm talking about our veterans?
01:54:30.000 Because nobody's taking better care.
01:54:31.000 I'm so glad this came up.
01:54:33.000 And he brought it up.
01:54:35.000 There's nobody that's taken better care of our soldiers than I have.
01:54:38.000 To think that I would, in front of generals and others, say, suckers and losers.
01:54:43.000 We have 19 people that said, it was never said by me.
01:54:47.000 It was made up by him.
01:54:48.000 Just like Russia, Russia, Russia was made up.
01:54:51.000 Just like the 51 intelligence agents are made up.
01:54:55.000 Just like the new thing with the 16 economists are talking, it's the same thing.
01:54:59.000 51 intelligence agents said that the laptop was Russia disinformation.
01:55:04.000 It wasn't.
01:55:05.000 That came from his son, Hunter.
01:55:07.000 It wasn't Russia disinformation.
01:55:09.000 He made up the suckers and losers, so he should apologize to me right now.
01:55:14.000 Four-star general standing at your side who was on your staff who said you said it.
01:55:18.000 Period.
01:55:19.000 That's number one.
01:55:20.000 And number two, the idea, the idea that I have to apologize to you for anything along the line.
01:55:26.000 We've done more for veterans than any president has in American history.
01:55:29.000 American history.
01:55:31.000 Trump did not handle that well.
01:55:46.000 All right, thank you so much.
01:55:47.000 Let's move to the topic of foreign policy.
01:55:49.000 I want to begin with Russia's war against Ukraine, which is now in its third year.
01:55:55.000 Former President Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin says he'll only end this war if Russia keeps the Ukrainian territory it has already claimed and Ukraine abandons its bid to join NATO.
01:56:10.000 Are Putin's terms acceptable to you?
01:56:12.000 First of all,
01:56:13.000 All right.
01:56:28.000 Come on, man!
01:56:49.000 He did nothing to stop it.
01:56:51.000 In fact, I think he encouraged Russia from going in.
01:56:53.000 I'll tell you what happened.
01:56:54.000 He was so bad with Afghanistan, it was such a horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, that when Putin watched that, and he saw the incompetence, that he should have fired those generals, like I fired the one that you mentioned, and so he's got no love lost.
01:57:10.000 But he should have fired those generals.
01:57:12.000 No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan.
01:57:18.000 Well, we left billions of dollars of equipment behind.
01:57:21.000 We lost 13 beautiful soldiers.
01:57:23.000 And 38 soldiers were obliterated.
01:57:25.000 And, by the way, we left people behind, too.
01:57:27.000 We left American citizens behind.
01:57:29.000 When Putin saw that, he said, you know what?
01:57:32.000 I think we're going to go in and maybe take my — this was his dream.
01:57:36.000 I talked to him about it, his dream.
01:57:38.000 The difference is, he never would have invaded Ukraine.
01:57:42.000 Never.
01:57:43.000 Just like Israel would have never been invaded.
01:57:46.000 Stay focused!
01:58:08.000 President Biden?
01:58:08.000 It's all over the place, man!
01:58:09.000 I've never had so much malarkey in my whole life.
01:58:11.000 Look, the fact of the matter is that we're in a situation where, let's take the last point first.
01:58:15.000 Biden's, like, retarded and he's still, like, it's kind of even.
01:58:19.000 It's caused brain damage for a number of these troops, and he did nothing about it.
01:58:24.000 When he was president, here they attacked.
01:58:27.000 He said, they're just having headaches.
01:58:28.000 That's all it is.
01:58:30.000 But he didn't do a thing when the attack took place, number one.
01:58:33.000 Number two,
01:58:34.000 We got over 100,000 Americans and others out of Afghanistan during that airlift.
01:58:42.000 Number three, we found ourselves in a situation where, if you take a look at what Trump did in Ukraine, this guy told Trump, do whatever you want, and do whatever you want.
01:58:54.000 And that's exactly what Trump did.
01:58:57.000 Thank you.
01:59:18.000 President Trump, for one minute, I just want to go back to my original question, which is, are Putin's terms acceptable to you, keeping the territory in Ukraine?
01:59:28.000 No, they're not acceptable.
01:59:30.000 But look, this is a war that never should have started.
01:59:33.000 If we had a leader in this war, he led everybody along.
01:59:37.000 He's given $200 billion now or more to Ukraine.
01:59:41.000 He's given $200 billion.
01:59:43.000 That's a lot of money.
01:59:44.000 I don't think there's ever been anything like it.
01:59:47.000 Zelensky comes to this country, walks away with $60 billion.
01:59:50.000 He's the greatest salesman ever.
01:59:52.000 And I'm not knocking him, I'm not knocking anything.
01:59:54.000 I'm only saying, the money that we're spending on this war, and we shouldn't be spending, it should have never happened.
02:00:02.000 I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelensky as President-elect before I take office on January 20th.
02:00:10.000 I'll have that war settled.
02:00:12.000 People being killed so needlessly, so stupidly,
02:00:16.000 And I will get it settled, and I'll get it settled fast before I take office.
02:00:23.000 The fact is that Putin is a war criminal.
02:00:26.000 He's killed thousands and thousands of people.
02:00:29.000 And he has made one thing clear.
02:00:31.000 He wants to re-establish what was part of the Soviet empire.
02:00:35.000 Not just a peace.
02:00:36.000 He wants all of Ukraine.
02:00:37.000 That's what he wants.
02:00:38.000 And then you think he'll stop there?
02:00:40.000 You think he'll stop if he takes Ukraine?
02:00:44.000 What do you think happens to Poland?
02:00:45.000 What do you think happens to Belarus?
02:00:46.000 What do you think happens to those NATO countries?
02:00:49.000 And so if you want a war, you ought to find out what he's going to do.
02:00:52.000 Because if, in fact, he does what he says and walks away... By the way, all that money we give Ukraine, the weapons we make here in the United States, we give them the weapons, not the money at this point.
02:01:04.000 And our NATO allies have produced as much funding for Ukraine as we have.
02:01:10.000 That's why we're strong.
02:01:12.000 Thank you.
02:01:13.000 Moving on to the Middle East.
02:01:15.000 In October, Hamas attacked Israel, killing more than a thousand people and taking hundreds of hostages.
02:01:22.000 Among those held and thought to still be alive are five Americans.
02:01:26.000 Israel's response has killed thousands of Palestinians and created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
02:01:32.000 President Biden
02:01:34.000 You've put forward a proposal to resolve this conflict, but so far Hamas has not released the remaining hostages and Israel is continuing its military offensive in Gaza.
02:01:45.000 That's the craving of this crazy.
02:01:46.000 So what additional leverage will you use to get Hamas and Israel... It's like a genocide.
02:01:52.000 Hamas will not give up the hostages.
02:01:54.000 Everyone from the United Nations Security Council, straight through the G7, to the Israelis and Netanyahu himself have endorsed the plan I put forward.
02:02:04.000 Endorsed the plan I put forward.
02:02:06.000 Which has three stages to it.
02:02:07.000 That's not true.
02:02:08.000 The first stage is treat the hostages for a ceasefire.
02:02:13.000 Second phase is a ceasefire with additional conditions.
02:02:16.000 The third phase is the end of the war.
02:02:19.000 The only one who wants the war to continue is Hamas.
02:02:22.000 Not true!
02:02:22.000 Opposite!
02:02:39.000 We're providing Israel with all the weapons they need and when they need them.
02:02:42.000 And by the way, I'm the guy that organized the world against Iran when they had a full-blown intercontinental ballistic missile attack on Israel.
02:02:52.000 No one was hurt.
02:02:53.000 No one Israeli was accidentally killed.
02:02:56.000 And it stopped.
02:02:58.000 We saved Israel.
02:02:59.000 We are the biggest producer of support for Israel of anyone in the world.
02:03:04.000 And so there are two different things.
02:03:06.000 Hamas cannot be allowed to be continued.
02:03:09.000 We continue to send our experts and our own people to the heartland of Hamas like we did Ben Laden.
02:03:15.000 You don't have to do it.
02:03:16.000 And by the way, they're greatly weakened, Hamas.
02:03:19.000 Greatly weakened, and they should be.
02:03:21.000 They should be eliminated.
02:03:23.000 But you've got to be careful for using certain weapons among population centers.
02:03:30.000 Just going back to Ukraine for one second.
02:03:33.000 We have an ocean separating us.
02:03:35.000 The European nations, together, have spent $100 billion, or maybe more than that, less than us.
02:03:43.000 Why doesn't he call them and say, you've got to put up your money like I did with NATO?
02:03:46.000 I got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars.
02:03:49.000 The Secretary General of NATO said Trump did the most incredible job I've ever seen.
02:03:54.000 They wouldn't have any.
02:03:54.000 They were going out of business.
02:03:55.000 We were spending almost 100% of the money that was paid by us.
02:04:00.000 He didn't do that.
02:04:02.000 He's getting all... You gotta ask these people to put up the money.
02:04:05.000 We're over a hundred billion dollars more spent and it has a bigger impact on them because of location, because we have an ocean in between.
02:04:12.000 You gotta ask them.
02:04:13.000 As far as Israel...
02:04:16.000 So close!
02:04:46.000 You're right there.
02:05:08.000 That is so vague.
02:05:29.000 President Trump, just to follow up, would you support the creation of an independent Palestinian state in order to achieve peace in the region?
02:05:37.000 I'd have to see, but before we do that, the problem we have is that we spend all the money.
02:05:42.000 So they kill us on trade.
02:05:43.000 I made great trade deals with the European nations.
02:05:47.000 Because if you add them up, they're about the same size economically, their economy is about the same size as the United States, and they were written, no cars, no, they don't want anything that we have, but we're supposed to take their cars, their food, their everything, their agriculture.
02:06:01.000 I changed that.
02:06:03.000 But the big thing I changed is they don't want to pay.
02:06:05.000 And the only reason that he can play games with NATO is because I got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars.
02:06:12.000 I said, and he's right about this, I said, no, I'm not going to support NATO if you don't pay.
02:06:18.000 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
02:06:36.000 Thank you.
02:06:37.000 He really avoided Israel.
02:06:37.000 Because I think he knows that it's not smart to touch that.
02:06:39.000 No.
02:06:39.000 It's not the best, but it's not the worst.
02:06:54.000 As president, you swore an oath to, quote, preserve, protect, and defend, unquote, the Constitution.
02:07:00.000 What do you say to voters who believe that you violated that oath through your actions and inaction on January 6 and worry that you'll do it again?
02:07:07.000 Well, I don't think too many believe that, and let me tell you about January 6.
02:07:11.000 On January 6th, we had a great border.
02:07:14.000 Nobody coming through.
02:07:15.000 Very few.
02:07:16.000 On January 6th, we were energy independent.
02:07:18.000 On January 6th, we had the lowest taxes ever.
02:07:21.000 We had the lowest regulations ever.
02:07:23.000 On January 6th, we were respected all over the world.
02:07:26.000 All over the world, we were respected.
02:07:28.000 And then he comes in, and we're now left at.
02:07:31.000 We're like a bunch of stupid people.
02:07:34.000 What happened to the United States' reputation under this man's leadership
02:07:39.000 is horrible, including weaponization, which I'm sure at some point you'll be talking about, where he goes after his political opponent because he can't beat him fair and square.
02:07:48.000 You have 80 seconds left.
02:07:50.000 My question was, what do you say to those voters who believe that you violated your constitutional oath through your actions in an action on January 6, 2021, and worry that you'll do it again?
02:08:00.000 Well, I didn't say that to anybody.
02:08:02.000 I said, peacefully and patriotically.
02:08:05.000 And Nancy Pelosi, if you just watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter, who's a documentary filmmaker, they say,
02:08:13.000 But she's saying, oh no, it's my responsibility, I was responsible for this.
02:08:18.000 Because I offered her 10,000 soldiers or National Guard, and she turned them down.
02:08:23.000 And the mayor of, in writing by the way, the mayor, in writing turned it down, the mayor of D.C.
02:08:29.000 They turned it down.
02:08:30.000 I offered 10,000 because I could see.
02:08:32.000 I had virtually nothing to do.
02:08:35.000 They asked me to go make a speech.
02:08:37.000 I could see what was happening.
02:08:38.000 Everybody was saying they're going to be there on January 6th.
02:08:40.000 They're going to be there.
02:08:41.000 And I said, you know what?
02:08:42.000 There's a lot of people coming.
02:08:43.000 You could feel it.
02:08:44.000 You could feel it, too.
02:08:45.000 And you could feel it.
02:08:46.000 And I said, they ought to have some National Guard or whatever.
02:08:50.000 And I offered it to her and she now admits that she turned it down and it was the same day she was, I don't know, he can't be very happy with her daughter because it made her into a liar.
02:09:00.000 She said, I take full responsibility for January 6th.
02:09:05.000 President Biden?
02:09:07.000 Look, he encouraged those folks to go up on Capitol Hill, number one.
02:09:12.000 I sat in the dining room off the Oval Office.
02:09:14.000 He sat there for three hours, three hours watching, begging, being begged by his vice president and a number of his colleagues on the Republican side as well to do something, to call for a stop.
02:09:25.000 Please stop.
02:09:26.000 Instead, they've talked about these people being patriots.
02:09:28.000 And he's fighting with the Secret Service in the car.
02:09:30.000 Give me the wheel!
02:09:32.000 We're going to the Capitol!
02:09:33.000 So awesome.
02:09:37.000 Please!
02:09:38.000 Make them stop!
02:09:41.000 Call them off!
02:09:42.000 Call them off!
02:09:43.000 They're taking the lectern!
02:09:45.000 I don't think I will!
02:09:47.000 Take me there now, in fact!
02:09:49.000 Do it!
02:09:50.000 Or I'll grab the wheel!
02:09:51.000 I'll grab your hair!
02:09:52.000 Remember that?
02:09:58.000 And these people should be in jail, and they should be the ones who are being held accountable.
02:10:03.000 And he wants to lift them all out, and now he says that he loses it again, such a whiner that he is.
02:10:07.000 I think it would be a bloodbath.
02:10:09.000 Thank you, President Biden.
02:10:10.000 President Trump?
02:10:12.000 What they've done to some people that are so innocent, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
02:10:17.000 What you have done, how you've destroyed the lives of so many people.
02:10:21.000 When they ripped down Portland, when they ripped down many other cities.
02:10:26.000 You go to Minnesota, Minneapolis, what they've done there with the fires all over the city.
02:10:31.000 If I didn't bring in the National Guard, that city would have been destroyed.
02:10:35.000 When you look at all of the
02:10:37.000 They took over big chunks of Seattle.
02:10:39.000 I was all set to bring in the National Guard.
02:10:41.000 They heard that.
02:10:42.000 They saw them coming and they left immediately.
02:10:45.000 What he said about this whole subject is so off.
02:10:49.000 Peacefully patriotic.
02:10:50.000 One other thing.
02:10:52.000 The unselect committee, which is basically two horrible Republicans that are all gone now and out of office, and Democrats, all Democrats, they destroyed and deleted all of the information they found, because they found out we were right.
02:11:07.000 We were right.
02:11:08.000 And they deleted and destroyed all of the information.
02:11:11.000 They should go to jail for that.
02:11:13.000 If a Republican did that, they'd go to jail.
02:11:14.000 Thank you, President Trump.
02:11:15.000 President Biden, I want to give you a minute.
02:11:16.000 Go to jail.
02:11:16.000 We need more of that.
02:11:17.000 More go to jail.
02:11:18.000 You're pushing the stages of convicted felonies, man, I'm looking at right now.
02:11:22.000 What he's telling you is simply not true.
02:11:26.000 The fact is that there was no effort on his part to stop what was going on up in Capitol Hill.
02:11:33.000 Stop what?
02:11:35.000 Being awesome?
02:11:37.000 The idea that they didn't kill somebody, just went in and broke down doors, broke the windows, occupied offices, turned over desks, turned them over statues.
02:11:47.000 The idea that those people are patriots
02:11:51.000 Come on, Jack.
02:11:51.000 Stand back and stand by!
02:11:53.000 No, we're not this year.
02:12:13.000 I'm going to give you a minute, President Trump, for a follow-up question I have.
02:12:19.000 After a jury convicted you of 34 felonies last month, you said if re-elected you would, quote, have every right to go after, unquote, your political opponents.
02:12:28.000 You just talked about members of the Select Committee on January 6th going to jail.
02:12:32.000 Your main political opponent is standing on stage with you tonight.
02:12:35.000 Can you clarify exactly what it means about you feeling you have every right to go after your political opponents?
02:12:40.000 Well, I said my retribution is going to be success.
02:12:43.000 We're going to make this country successful again because right now it's a failing nation.
02:12:47.000 No, we want real retribution, not some gay evasion.
02:12:49.000 But when he talks about a convicted felon, his son is a convicted felon at a very high level.
02:12:54.000 His son is convicted, going to be convicted probably numerous other times.
02:12:58.000 Lock him up!
02:13:26.000 That we're not going to do anything.
02:13:28.000 We're not going to give you a billion dollars unless you change your prosecutor having to do with his son.
02:13:32.000 This man is a criminal.
02:13:34.000 This man... You're lucky.
02:13:35.000 You're lucky.
02:13:36.000 I did nothing wrong.
02:13:37.000 We'd have a system that was rigged and disgusting.
02:13:40.000 I did nothing wrong.
02:13:41.000 Thank you, President Trump.
02:13:42.000 President Biden, you have said... I'm coming right to you, sir.
02:13:45.000 You... Well, you want to respond?
02:13:46.000 Go ahead.
02:13:47.000 I'll give you a minute to respond.
02:13:48.000 The idea that I did anything wrong relative to what you're talking about is outrageous.
02:13:54.000 It's simply a lie, number one.
02:13:56.000 Number two, the idea that you have a right to seek retribution against any American just because you're president is wrong.
02:14:03.000 Look at him.
02:14:04.000 He's so regal.
02:14:04.000 I love his face.
02:14:06.000 Look at that face.
02:14:07.000 So regal and powerful.
02:14:07.000 Russian smile.
02:14:08.000 W. Fucking face.
02:14:09.000 Let's go.
02:14:09.000 All day.
02:14:30.000 I didn't have sex with a porn star, number one.
02:14:36.000 Number two, that was a case that was started and moved.
02:14:40.000 They moved a high-ranking official, a DOJ, into the Manhattan DA's office to start that case.
02:14:46.000 That case is going to be appealed and won.
02:14:48.000 We had a very terrible judge, a horrible judge, Democrat.
02:14:53.000 The prosecutor, we're all high-ranking Democrats, appointed people, and both the civil and the criminal.
02:15:00.000 He basically went after his political opponent because he thought it was going to damage me.
02:15:05.000 But when the public found out about these cases, because they understand it better than he does, he has no idea what these cases are.
02:15:11.000 But when they found out about these cases, you know what they did?
02:15:14.000 My poll numbers went up way up.
02:15:15.000 You know that because you're reporting it.
02:15:17.000 And we took in more money in the last two weeks than we've ever taken in in the history of any campaign.
02:15:23.000 I don't think any campaign has ever taken hundreds of millions of dollars came pouring in because the public knows it's a scam and it's a guy that's after his political opponent because he can't win fair and square.
02:15:35.000 Thank you, President Trump.
02:15:36.000 President Biden, you have said, quote, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy.
02:15:43.000 Do you believe that the tens of millions of Americans who are likely to vote for President Trump will be voting against American democracy?
02:15:52.000 The more they know about what he's done, yes.
02:15:55.000 The more they know about what he's done.
02:15:56.000 And there's a lot more coming.
02:15:58.000 He's got a lot of cases down the road coming around.
02:16:00.000 He's got a whole range of issues he has to face.
02:16:04.000 I don't know what the juries will do, but I do know he has a real problem.
02:16:08.000 And so the fact that, could you ever think you heard any president say that I'm going to seek retribution?
02:16:14.000 Do you ever hear any president say that I thought Hitler had some good ideas?
02:16:18.000 What got me involved to run the first place after my son had died, I decided in Iraq, because of Iraq, I said I wasn't going to run again.
02:16:25.000 Until I saw what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia.
02:16:28.000 People coming out of the woods carrying swastikas on torches, torches, and singing the same anti-Semitic bio they sang back in Germany.
02:16:38.000 And the young woman got killed.
02:16:40.000 I spoke to the mother, and they asked him, they said, what do you think of those people?
02:16:45.000 The people who, the ones who got killed, the ones who tried to stop him, and the ones, he said, I think they're fine people on both sides.
02:16:52.000 What American president would ever say, Nazis coming out of fields, carrying torches, singing the same anti-Semitic ballad, carrying swastikas, were fine people?
02:17:04.000 This is the guy who says Hitler's done some good things.
02:17:07.000 I'd like to know what they are.
02:17:07.000 Good things Hitler's done, that's what he said.
02:17:10.000 This guy has no sense for American democracy.
02:17:14.000 President Trump.
02:17:15.000 Jake, both of you know that, sir, has been totally wiped out.
02:17:19.000 Because when you see the sentence, it said 100% exoneration on that, sir.
02:17:23.000 He just keeps it going.
02:17:24.000 He says he ran because of Charlottesville.
02:17:26.000 He didn't run because of Charlottesville.
02:17:28.000 He ran because it was his last chance.
02:17:31.000 He's not equipped to be president.
02:17:32.000 You know it and I know it.
02:17:33.000 It's ridiculous.
02:17:34.000 We have a debate.
02:17:35.000 We're trying to justify his presidency.
02:17:37.000 His presidency...
02:17:39.000 Without question, the worst president, the worst presidency in the history of our country.
02:17:45.000 We shouldn't be having a debate about it.
02:17:46.000 There's nothing to debate.
02:17:48.000 He made up the Charlottesville story.
02:17:50.000 And you'll see it's debunked all over the place.
02:17:53.000 Every anchor, every reasonable anchor has debunked it.
02:17:57.000 And just the other day it came out where it was fully debunked.
02:18:00.000 It's a nonsense story.
02:18:02.000 He knows that.
02:18:03.000 And he didn't run because of Charlottesville.
02:18:05.000 He used that as an excuse to run.
02:18:07.000 President Biden?
02:18:23.000 Carrying those woods, carrying those torches, that he didn't deserve to be president.
02:18:28.000 Didn't deserve to be president at all.
02:18:29.000 And the idea that he's talking about, all this being fabricated, we saw it with our own eyes.
02:18:35.000 We saw it happen on January 6th.
02:18:36.000 We saw the people breaking through the windows.
02:18:38.000 We saw people occupying their... His own vice president... Look, there's a reason why 40 of his 44 top cabinet officers refused to endorse him this time.
02:18:48.000 His vice president hasn't endorsed him this time.
02:18:51.000 So why?
02:18:56.000 Alright.
02:19:03.000 Halfway point.
02:19:04.000 Thoughts?
02:19:06.000 What does everybody think about how it's going so far?
02:19:08.000 Press 1 if you think Trump is winning.
02:19:10.000 Press 2 if you think Biden is winning.
02:19:13.000 We'll do a little update on our poll from earlier.
02:19:16.000 Well hey, if you're just joining us, welcome back.
02:19:18.000 We had a little bit of a rough start here.
02:19:22.000 Rumble crashed for like the first 10 actually it crashed at like 7 50 about an hour ago was down for about 15 minutes but we're back now we got huge viewership almost 25 000 live viewers thank you for tuning in and welcome in we're going to take a look at our informal poll it's all ones
02:19:44.000 It's very clear that Trump is winning.
02:19:46.000 I have to say, Biden, I am surprised how bad he is.
02:19:52.000 When he came out there initially, I know probably a lot of you guys missed it because Rumpel was down, I was absolutely shocked at how bad he sounds.
02:20:01.000 This man is not going to be alive by the end of this thing.
02:20:06.000 He's not well.
02:20:07.000 And you can hear it in his voice.
02:20:10.000 Like there's no force behind the voice.
02:20:13.000 There's no life force in the guy's body.
02:20:15.000 He looks... and he looks worse than he sounds.
02:20:19.000 It seems that whatever they've got him on, he still is able to get out some sentences, but he's having a much harder time than I think I've ever seen him.
02:20:27.000 It's noticeably worse than the State of the Union, which was just a few months ago.
02:20:32.000 But the look...
02:20:34.000 His face is so drawn, his eyes, he looks confused.
02:20:38.000 So I'm absolutely shocked, and you know what?
02:20:41.000 I think that what all of a sudden done tonight, tomorrow, that's all anybody's going to talk about.
02:20:48.000 I don't even think anybody's going to be talking about the substance of the debate.
02:20:52.000 There hasn't really been a grand slam yet, which is actually unfortunate.
02:20:57.000 I'll get to that in a moment.
02:20:59.000 So far, 50 minutes in, I actually haven't seen anything where it was a really decisive blow.
02:21:04.000 Trump had some good moments there.
02:21:06.000 I think Trump has been doing a pretty good job defending himself.
02:21:10.000 I think the format's actually pretty solid.
02:21:12.000 I'm a little bit pleasantly surprised.
02:21:13.000 I think it's very controlled.
02:21:15.000 It's very orderly.
02:21:16.000 I know that was actually an issue the last time around and the time before that.
02:21:20.000 So this format's very orderly.
02:21:23.000 People are using their time.
02:21:24.000 There's no interruptions.
02:21:25.000 And I think in a format like that,
02:21:28.000 I think that Trump is doing an adequate job.
02:21:33.000 But like I said, I don't think anything was... I haven't really seen a major memorable moment.
02:21:38.000 I think Trump did really well on the Ukraine topic.
02:21:41.000 I think he did very well on defending himself with January 6th.
02:21:45.000 I think very plausible, solid defense.
02:21:49.000 So I think Trump is doing
02:21:52.000 He's doing okay.
02:21:53.000 I think he's doing fine.
02:21:55.000 Biden is holding up.
02:21:57.000 I mean, I think he was off to a very rough start.
02:21:59.000 He looks bad.
02:21:59.000 He sounds bad.
02:22:00.000 But under the circumstances, I mean, he's getting by.
02:22:03.000 I think he's going to make it through to the end of the night.
02:22:06.000 But it's clear that...
02:22:08.000 There could be a slippage.
02:22:09.000 You know, there could be a slip before the end of it.
02:22:12.000 So I guess we'll wait for that.
02:22:15.000 But like I said, I think all anybody's going to be talking about tomorrow is how bad Biden is.
02:22:19.000 And I think that in the minds of a lot of voters, this is going to be disqualifying.
02:22:24.000 And it's a long night, and it's going to be a long five months if there is this catastrophic cognitive decline in just four months.
02:22:32.000 Because he is so much worse than he was at the State of the Union.
02:22:35.000 We may go back and watch that after the debate.
02:22:38.000 It's so noticeably worse looking, sounding, all together.
02:22:43.000 What is it going to look like in five months?
02:22:47.000 The rate of deterioration is accelerating.
02:22:49.000 Five months from now, this guy won't even be here.
02:22:52.000 But Trump needs to dial it in.
02:22:54.000 I think his answers are repetitive.
02:22:56.000 I think he's leaning too much on Biden.
02:23:06.000 Far too low.
02:23:07.000 Far too low.
02:23:24.000 They acknowledge they made a lot of progress.
02:23:25.000 Number one.
02:23:26.000 The fact of the matter is there are more small black businesses that are more historic than any time in history.
02:23:32.000 Number two.
02:23:32.000 The wages of black unemployment is the lowest level it's been in a long, long time.
02:23:38.000 Number three.
02:23:39.000 We're finding housing for black
02:23:42.000 Dude, this guy's just like, he's gone now.
02:24:01.000 The choice that black families have to make relative to child care is incredibly difficult.
02:24:07.000 When we did the first major piece of legislation in the past, I was able to reduce black child care costs.
02:24:14.000 I cut them in half.
02:24:16.000 In half.
02:24:17.000 We've got to make sure we provide for child care costs.
02:24:19.000 We've got to make sure, because when you provide those child care protections, you increase economic growth because more people can be in the job market.
02:24:28.000 So there's more to be done, considerably more to be done.
02:24:31.000 But we've done a great deal so far and I'm not letting up and they know it.
02:24:36.000 You have 49 seconds left.
02:24:38.000 What do you say to black voters who are disappointed with the progress so far?
02:24:43.000 I said I don't blame them for being disappointed.
02:24:45.000 Inflation is still hurting them badly.
02:24:47.000 For example, I provided for the idea that any black family first-time homebuyer should get a $10,000 tax credit to be able to buy their first home so they can get started.
02:24:58.000 I made sure that we're in a situation where all those black families and those black individuals who provided had to take out student loans that were ballooning
02:25:08.000 Thank you, President Trump.
02:25:27.000 And he caused the inflation.
02:25:29.000 He's blaming inflation.
02:25:31.000 And he's right.
02:25:31.000 It's been very bad.
02:25:33.000 He caused the inflation.
02:25:34.000 And it's killing black families and Hispanic families and just about everybody.
02:25:38.000 It's killing people.
02:25:39.000 They can't buy groceries anymore.
02:25:41.000 They can't.
02:25:42.000 You look at the cost of food where it's doubled and tripled and quadrupled.
02:25:46.000 They can't live.
02:25:47.000 They're not living anymore.
02:25:49.000 He caused this inflation.
02:25:51.000 I gave him a country with no, essentially no inflation.
02:25:55.000 It was perfect.
02:25:56.000 It was so good.
02:25:56.000 All he had to do was leave it alone.
02:25:58.000 He destroyed it with his Green New Scam and all of the other, all this money that's been thrown out the window.
02:26:04.000 He caused inflation.
02:26:06.000 As sure as you're sitting there.
02:26:07.000 Nice!
02:26:08.000 Green New Deal?
02:26:10.000 Or like, Green New Scam?
02:26:11.000 The unselect committee.
02:26:12.000 Thank you, President Biden.
02:26:32.000 There was no inflation when I became president.
02:26:35.000 You know why?
02:26:35.000 The economy was flat on its back.
02:26:38.000 Fifteen percent unemployment.
02:26:40.000 He decimated the economy.
02:26:41.000 Absolutely decimated the economy.
02:26:43.000 That's why there was no inflation at the time.
02:26:46.000 There were no jobs.
02:26:47.000 We're good to go.
02:27:17.000 We put more police on the street than any administration has.
02:27:21.000 He wants to cut the cops.
02:27:22.000 We're providing for equity, equity and making sure people have a shot to make it.
02:27:28.000 There's a lot going on.
02:27:29.000 But in inflation, he caused it by his tremendous amount of seasons and the way he handled the pandemic.
02:27:37.000 Thank you.
02:27:38.000 Another persistent challenge is the climate crisis.
02:27:42.000 2023 was the hottest year in recorded history and communities across the country are confronting the devastating effects of extreme heat, intensifying wildfires, stronger hurricanes and rising sea levels.
02:27:55.000 Former President Trump, you've vowed to end your opponent's climate initiatives, but will you take any action as president to slow the climate crisis?
02:28:04.000 Let me just go back to what he said about the police.
02:28:08.000 How close the police are to him.
02:28:10.000 Almost every police group in the nation, from every state, is supporting Donald J. Trump.
02:28:16.000 Almost every police group.
02:28:18.000 And what he's done to the black population is horrible, including the fact that for 10 years he called them super predators.
02:28:24.000 We can't, in the 1990s, we can't forget that.
02:28:27.000 Super predators was his name, and he called it to them, and they've taken great offense at it, and now they see it happening.
02:28:33.000 But that's base.
02:28:34.000 They are.
02:28:34.000 That's what they are!
02:28:37.000 What happened to law and order?
02:28:38.000 I call them something else.
02:28:40.000 That's better.
02:28:40.000 Super better.
02:28:41.000 That's better than what people are calling them.
02:28:44.000 They take offense to that?
02:28:45.000 Wow.
02:28:59.000 And the biggest beneficiary are blacks, and that's why we have the best numbers with them in maybe ever, they're saying ever, I read this morning, we're ever the best numbers.
02:29:10.000 He's lost much of the black population because he's done a horrible job for black people.
02:29:16.000 He's also done a horrible job for Hispanics.
02:29:19.000 But wait till you see these millions of people pouring into our country, and they're going to take the jobs, and it's already started, and you haven't seen anything yet.
02:29:26.000 It's a disaster.
02:29:28.000 Thirty-eight seconds left, President Trump.
02:29:30.000 Will you take any action as president to slow the climate crisis?
02:29:35.000 So, I want absolutely immaculate, clean water, and I want absolutely clean air, and we had it.
02:29:42.000 We had H2O.
02:29:44.000 We had the best numbers ever.
02:29:46.000 And we did, we were using all forms of energy, all forms, everything.
02:29:51.000 And yet, during my four years, I had the best environmental numbers ever.
02:29:57.000 And my top environmental people gave me that statistic just before I walked on the stage, actually.
02:30:04.000 I don't know where the hell he's been.
02:30:06.000 The idea that anything he said is true.
02:30:09.000 I've passed the most extensive climate change legislation in history.
02:30:15.000 In history.
02:30:16.000 We find ourselves, and by the way, black colleges, I came up with $15 billion for HBCUs, Historic Black Universities and Colleges, because they don't have the kind of contributors that they have to
02:30:30.000 I don't know.
02:30:48.000 Cleanest water?
02:30:49.000 He hadn't done a damn thing for the environment.
02:30:51.000 He, out of the Paris Peace Accord, Climate Accord, I immediately joined him, because if we reach 1.5 degrees Celsius at any one point, there's no way back.
02:31:01.000 The only existential threat to humanity is climate change, and he didn't do a damn thing about it.
02:31:06.000 He must undo all that I've done.
02:31:09.000 The Paris Accord was going to cost us a trillion dollars, and China nothing, and Russia nothing, and India nothing.
02:31:16.000 It was a rip-off of the United States, and I ended it because I didn't want to waste that money because they treat us horribly.
02:31:23.000 We were the only ones.
02:31:24.000 It was costing us money.
02:31:25.000 Nobody else was paying into it, and it was a disaster.
02:31:29.000 But everything that he said just now—I'll give you an example.
02:31:31.000 I heard him say before, insolent.
02:31:33.000 I'm the one that got the insulin down for the seniors.
02:31:36.000 I took care of the seniors.
02:31:38.000 What he's doing is destroying all of our medical programs because the migrants coming in, they want everybody.
02:31:44.000 And look, I have the biggest heart on the stage, I guarantee you that.
02:31:48.000 And I want to take care of people.
02:31:49.000 But we're destroying our country.
02:31:51.000 They're taking over our schools, our hospitals, and they're going to be taking over Social Security.
02:31:56.000 He is destroying Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
02:32:03.000 The idea is that we were the only ones with consequence who were not members of the Paris Accord.
02:32:13.000 How can we do anything if the United States can't get this pollution under control?
02:32:17.000 We're one of the largest polluters in the world, number one.
02:32:20.000 We're making significant progress.
02:32:22.000 By 2035, we will have cut pollution in half.
02:32:25.000 We have made significant progress, and we'll continue to make progress.
02:32:30.000 We set up a Climate Corps, where thousands of young people will learn how to deal with climate, just like the Peace Corps.
02:32:36.000 And we're moving in directions that are going to significantly change the elements of cause of pollution.
02:32:42.000 But the idea that he claims that he has the biggest heart up here, and he's really concerned about
02:32:49.000 Totally took the bait.
02:32:50.000 Thank you.
02:33:13.000 So every day, millions of Americans struggle just to make ends meet.
02:33:16.000 For many older Americans, Social Security provides a critical lifeline.
02:33:21.000 President Biden, if nothing is done to Social Security, seniors will see their benefits cut in just over 10 years.
02:33:29.000 Will you name tonight one specific step that you're willing to take to keep Social Security solvent?
02:33:34.000 Yes, make the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share.
02:33:36.000 Right now, everybody making under $170,000 pays 6% of their income, of their paycheck, every single time they get a paycheck from the first one they get when they're 18 years old.
02:33:49.000 The idea that they're going to... I'm not proposing that.
02:33:53.000 Everybody, they pay, the millionaires pay 1%, 1%.
02:33:58.000 So no one after, I would not raise the cost of social security for anybody under $400,000.
02:34:04.000 After that, I began to make the wealthy begin to pay their fair share by increasing from 1% beyond to be able to guarantee the program for life.
02:34:13.000 So you still have 82 seconds left.
02:34:15.000 Are there any other measures that you think that would be able to help keep Social Security solvent, or is that one enough?
02:34:21.000 That one enough will keep it solvent, but the biggest thing will do it if we defeat this man, because he wants to get rid of Social Security.
02:34:28.000 He thinks there's plenty to cut in Social Security.
02:34:31.000 He's wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare, both times.
02:34:34.000 That's ridiculous.
02:34:51.000 The American public has greater health care coverage today than ever before.
02:34:55.000 And on the ACA, as I said, we're in a circumstance where 400,000 people, I mean 40 million people, would not have insurance because they have a pre-existing condition.
02:35:06.000 The only thing that allows them to have that insurance is the fact that they, in fact, are part of the ACA.
02:35:12.000 And by the way, the other thing is, we're in a situation where we talk about education for black communities.
02:35:18.000 I've raised the amount of money for Pell Grants by another $8,000.
02:35:23.000 So anybody making under $70,000 a year is going to be able to get $15,000 towards their tuition.
02:35:31.000 He just doesn't know what he's talking about.
02:35:33.000 Thank you, President Biden.
02:35:33.000 President Trump?
02:35:34.000 So I've dealt with politicians all my life.
02:35:37.000 I've been on this side of the equation for the last eight years.
02:35:43.000 I've never seen anybody lie like this guy.
02:35:45.000 He lies.
02:35:46.000 I've never seen if he could look you in the face.
02:35:48.000 About so many other things, too.
02:35:50.000 And we mentioned the laptop.
02:35:52.000 We mentioned Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
02:35:55.000 Everything he does is a lie.
02:35:57.000 It's misinformation and disinformation.
02:36:00.000 The losers and suckers story that he made up is a total lie on the military.
02:36:05.000 It's a disgrace.
02:36:06.000 But Social Security
02:36:08.000 He's destroying it, because millions of people are pouring into our country, and they're putting them onto Social Security, they're putting them onto Medicare, Medicaid, they're putting them in our hospitals, they're taking the place of our citizens.
02:36:20.000 What they're doing to the VA, to our veterans, is unbelievable.
02:36:24.000 Our veterans are living in the street, and these people are living in luxury hotels.
02:36:28.000 He doesn't know what he's doing, and it's really coming back.
02:36:32.000 I've never seen such anger in our country before.
02:36:36.000 President Biden?
02:36:37.000 The idea that veterans are not being taken care of.
02:36:39.000 I told you before.
02:36:40.000 By the way, when I said suckers and losers, he said he acknowledged after that he fired that general.
02:36:46.000 That general got fired.
02:36:47.000 Because he's the one that acknowledged that that's what he said.
02:36:51.000 He was the one standing with Trump when he said it.
02:36:53.000 Number one.
02:36:54.000 Number two, the idea that we're going to be in a situation where all these millions and millions of people he talks about, illegal aliens are coming into our country and taking away our jobs.
02:37:06.000 I wish all the stories were true.
02:37:07.000 That would be better.
02:37:25.000 And inflation is going to increasingly go up.
02:37:28.000 And by the way, worst president in history?
02:37:31.000 159 presidential scholars voted him the worst president in the history of the United States of America.
02:37:36.000 President Biden, thank you so much.
02:37:37.000 Let's turn to the cost of child care, which many American families struggle to afford.
02:37:41.000 President Trump, both you and President Biden have tried to address this issue, but the average cost of child care in this country has risen to more than $11,000 a year per child.
02:37:51.000 For many families, the cost of child care for two children is more than their rent.
02:37:57.000 In your second term, what would you do to make child care more affordable?
02:38:02.000 Just to go back, the general got fired because he was no good.
02:38:06.000 And if he said that, that's why he made it up.
02:38:08.000 But we have 19 people that said I didn't say it, and they're very highly respected, much more so than him.
02:38:13.000 The other thing is... Highly respected.
02:38:14.000 Scott Greer showed up.
02:38:15.000 He doesn't fire people.
02:38:17.000 He never fired people.
02:38:18.000 I've never seen him fire anybody.
02:38:20.000 I did fire a lot.
02:38:20.000 I fired Comey because he was no good.
02:38:22.000 I fired a lot of the top people at the FBI, drained the swamp.
02:38:25.000 They were no good.
02:38:26.000 Not easy to fire people.
02:38:27.000 You'd pay a price for it, but they were no good.
02:38:30.000 I inherited these people.
02:38:31.000 I didn't put Comey there.
02:38:32.000 He was no good.
02:38:33.000 I fired him.
02:38:34.000 This guy hasn't fired anybody.
02:38:36.000 He never fires.
02:38:37.000 He should have fired every military man that was involved with that Afghan, the Afghanistan horror show, the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
02:38:48.000 He didn't fire.
02:38:49.000 Did you fire anybody?
02:38:50.000 Did you fire anybody that's on the border, that's allowed us to have the worst border in the history of the world?
02:38:55.000 Did anybody get fired for allowing 18 million people, many from prisons, many from mental institutions?
02:39:02.000 Did you fire anybody that allowed our country to be destroyed?
02:39:06.000 Joe, our country is being destroyed as you and I sit up here and waste a lot of time on this debate.
02:39:12.000 This shouldn't be a debate.
02:39:13.000 He is the worst president.
02:39:15.000 He just said it about me because I said it.
02:39:17.000 He's the worst president in the history of our country.
02:39:20.000 He's destroyed our country.
02:39:22.000 Now all of a sudden he's trying to get a little tough on the border.
02:39:25.000 He came out with a nothing deal and it reduced it a little bit.
02:39:29.000 A little bit.
02:39:30.000 Like this much.
02:39:31.000 It's insignificant.
02:39:33.000 He wants open borders.
02:39:34.000 He wants our country.
02:39:35.000 He's awesome.
02:39:57.000 Thank you, President Trump.
02:39:57.000 President Biden?
02:39:58.000 We're the most admired country in the world.
02:40:01.000 We're the United States of America.
02:40:03.000 There's nothing beyond our capacity.
02:40:05.000 We have the finest military in the history of the world.
02:40:07.000 The finest in the history of the world.
02:40:09.000 No one thinks we're weak.
02:40:11.000 No one wants to screw around with us.
02:40:13.000 Nobody.
02:40:14.000 Number one.
02:40:15.000 Number two, the idea that we're talking about worst presidents.
02:40:18.000 I wasn't joking.
02:40:20.000 Look it up or go online.
02:40:21.000 159 or 158, don't hold me to the exact number, presidential historians.
02:40:27.000 They've had meetings and they voted.
02:40:28.000 Who's the worst president in American history?
02:40:32.000 Best to worst.
02:40:33.000 They said he was the worst in all of American history.
02:40:36.000 That's a fact.
02:40:37.000 That's not conjecture.
02:40:39.000 You could argue they're wrong, but that's what they voted.
02:40:41.000 The idea that he is doing anything to deal with child care
02:40:46.000 He did virtually nothing to childcare.
02:40:49.000 We should significantly increase the childcare tax credit.
02:40:52.000 We should significantly increase the availability of women and men, of single parents, to be able to go back to work.
02:40:59.000 And we should encourage businesses to hold, to have... Thank you, President Biden.
02:41:03.000 President Trump, the question was about what would you do to make childcare more affordable, if you want to take your minute.
02:41:08.000 Yes, you understand.
02:41:10.000 We have polling.
02:41:10.000 We have other things that they rate him the worst because what he's done is so bad.
02:41:15.000 And they rate me.
02:41:16.000 I'll show you.
02:41:17.000 I will show you.
02:41:18.000 And they rate me one of the best.
02:41:19.000 OK.
02:41:20.000 And if I'm given another four years, I will be the best.
02:41:24.000 I think I'll be the best.
02:41:25.000 Nobody's ever.
02:41:27.000 We're good to go.
02:41:57.000 The worst president in history by far, and everybody knows it.
02:42:01.000 President Biden?
02:42:02.000 Look, the fact of the matter is that he's dead wrong about... He's increased the... He's increased... He will increase the taxes on middle class people.
02:42:11.000 I said I'd never raise a tax on anybody making less than $400,000.
02:42:15.000 I didn't.
02:42:16.000 But this tariff, this 10% tariff, everything coming into the country, you know what the economists say?
02:42:21.000 That's going to cost the average American
02:42:23.000 Thank you for watching.
02:42:41.000 We're good to go.
02:43:01.000 We are the lowest trade deficit with China since 2010.
02:43:04.000 Thank you, President Biden.
02:43:06.000 Thank you, President Biden.
02:43:07.000 Let's discuss an epidemic impacting millions of Americans that both of you have made a top priority in your first term, the opioid crisis.
02:43:15.000 And for both of you, the number of overdose deaths in this country has gone up.
02:43:21.000 Under your term, it went up.
02:43:22.000 Under your term, it has gone up.
02:43:24.000 To finish up,
02:43:43.000 We now have the largest deficit in the history of our country under this guy.
02:43:47.000 We have the largest deficit with China.
02:43:49.000 He gets paid by China.
02:43:51.000 He's a Manchurian candidate.
02:43:52.000 He gets money from China.
02:43:54.000 So I think he's afraid to deal with it or something.
02:43:56.000 But do you notice he never took out my tariffs because we bring in so much money with the tariffs that I imposed on China.
02:44:03.000 He never took them away.
02:44:03.000 He can't because it's too much money.
02:44:05.000 It's tremendous.
02:44:06.000 And we saved our steel industry.
02:44:08.000 There was more to come, but he hasn't done that.
02:44:11.000 But he hasn't cut the tariffs because he can't, because it's too much money.
02:44:15.000 But he's got the largest deficit in the history of our country, and he's got the worst situation with China.
02:44:22.000 China's going to own us if you keep allowing them to do what they're doing to us as a country.
02:44:27.000 They are killing us as a country, Joe, and you can't let that happen.
02:44:31.000 You're destroying our country.
02:44:33.000 So President Trump, you have 67 seconds left.
02:44:36.000 The question was, what are you going to do to help Americans in the throes of addiction right now who are struggling to get the treatment they need?
02:44:42.000 Jake, we were doing very well in addiction until the COVID came along.
02:44:46.000 We had the two and a half, almost three years of like nobody's ever had before any country in every way.
02:44:52.000 And then we had to get tough.
02:44:53.000 And it was the drugs pouring across the border.
02:44:56.000 We're good to go.
02:45:26.000 Coming across our border.
02:45:28.000 The worst thing I've ever seen.
02:45:31.000 At numbers that nobody's ever seen under him, because the border's so bad.
02:45:35.000 But the number of drugs coming across our border now is the largest we've ever had by far.
02:45:40.000 President Trump, thank you.
02:45:41.000 President Biden?
02:45:42.000 Fentanyl and bipartisan fentanyl went down for a while.
02:45:47.000 And I wanted to make sure we use the machinery that can detect fentanyl.
02:45:50.000 These big machines that roll over everything that comes across the border.
02:45:54.000 And it costs a lot of money.
02:45:55.000 That was part of this deal we put together.
02:45:57.000 This bipartisan deal.
02:45:59.000 More fentanyl machines, more being able to detect drugs, more numbers of
02:46:05.000 I don't know.
02:46:20.000 We need those machines.
02:46:21.000 We need those machines.
02:46:23.000 And we're coming down very hard in every country in Asia in terms of precursors for fentanyl, and Mexico is working with us to make sure they don't have the technology to be able to put it together.
02:46:33.000 That's what we have to do.
02:46:34.000 We need those machines.
02:46:36.000 Thank you, President Biden.
02:46:37.000 President Trump, and again, the question is about Americans in the throes of addiction right now, struggling to get the treatment they need.
02:46:44.000 Because this does pertain to it.
02:46:46.000 He ended Remain in Mexico.
02:46:49.000 He ended Catch and Release.
02:46:50.000 I made a Catch and Release in Mexico, not Catch and Release here.
02:46:54.000 We had so many things that we had done.
02:46:56.000 Hard negotiations with Mexico, and I got it all for nothing.
02:46:59.000 It's just like when you have a hostage.
02:47:01.000 We always pay $6 billion for a hostage.
02:47:03.000 Every time we say there's a hostage.
02:47:05.000 Now we have a hostage, a Wall Street Journal reporter.
02:47:08.000 I think
02:47:39.000 I got 58 people out, and I paid essentially nothing.
02:47:43.000 Thank you, President Trump.
02:47:44.000 Dana?
02:47:45.000 Let's turn to concerns that voters have about each of you.
02:47:48.000 President Biden, you would be 86 at the end of your second term.
02:47:53.000 How do you address concerns about your capability to handle the toughest job in the world well into your 80s?
02:48:01.000 Well, first of all, I spent half my career being criticized for being the youngest person in politics.
02:48:09.000 I was the second youngest person ever elected to the United States Senate, and now I'm the oldest.
02:48:14.000 This guy's three years younger and a lot less competent.
02:48:17.000 I think that just look at the record.
02:48:18.000 Look at what I've done.
02:48:19.000 Look how I've turned around the horrible situation he left me.
02:48:22.000 As I said, 15 million new jobs, 800,000 manufacturing jobs, more investment in America.
02:48:28.000 We're good to go.
02:48:57.000 And guess what?
02:48:59.000 Those fabs they call, to build these chips, those fabs pay over $100,000.
02:49:05.000 What is he talking about?
02:49:08.000 And there's billions, about $40 billion already being invested and being built right now in the United States, creating significant jobs for Americans from all over the world.
02:49:19.000 President Biden, you have 40 seconds left.
02:49:21.000 Would you like to add anything?
02:49:22.000 Yeah, I would.
02:49:23.000 The idea that somehow we are this failing country.
02:49:27.000 I've never heard a president talk like this before.
02:49:31.000 Why does it always have to be gay?
02:50:01.000 Thank you.
02:50:01.000 Former President Trump, to follow up, you would be 82 at the end of your second term.
02:50:07.000 What do you say to voters who have concerns about your capabilities to serve?
02:50:11.000 Well, I took two tests, cognitive tests.
02:50:13.000 I used them.
02:50:14.000 Both of them, as you know.
02:50:16.000 We made it public.
02:50:17.000 He took none.
02:50:17.000 I'd like to see him take one.
02:50:18.000 Just one.
02:50:19.000 A real easy one.
02:50:20.000 Like, go through the first five questions.
02:50:22.000 He couldn't do it.
02:50:23.000 But I took two cognitive tests.
02:50:25.000 I took physical exams every year.
02:50:28.000 And you know, we knock on wood, wherever we may have wood, that I'm in very good health.
02:50:32.000 I just won two club championships, not even senior.
02:50:35.000 Two regular club championships.
02:50:37.000 To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way.
02:50:42.000 And I do it.
02:50:43.000 He doesn't do it.
02:50:43.000 He can't hit a ball 50 yards.
02:50:45.000 He challenged me to a golf match.
02:50:46.000 He can't hit a ball 50 yards.
02:50:48.000 I think I'm in very good shape.
02:50:50.000 I feel that I'm in as good a shape as I was 25, 30 years ago.
02:50:54.000 Actually, I'm probably a little bit lighter.
02:50:56.000 But I'm in as good a shape as I was years ago.
02:51:00.000 I feel very good.
02:51:01.000 I feel the same.
02:51:01.000 But I took, I was willing to take a cognitive test.
02:51:04.000 And you know what?
02:51:04.000 If I didn't do well, I aced him.
02:51:07.000 Dr. Ronny Jackson, who's a great guy, when he was White House doctor.
02:51:11.000 And then I took another one, a similar one.
02:51:13.000 And both, one of them said they'd never seen anybody ace him.
02:51:16.000 Thank you.
02:51:17.000 President Biden?
02:51:18.000 You can see he is 6'5 and only 223 pounds.
02:51:22.000 I'm 235 pounds.
02:51:25.000 Well, you said 6'4, 200.
02:51:26.000 Well, anyway, that's what you... Anyway, let's take a look at what he says he is and take a look at what he is.
02:51:33.000 Look, I'd be happy to have a driving contest with him.
02:51:36.000 Remember, I got my handicap when I was vice president down to a 6.
02:51:43.000 And, by the way, I told you before I'm happy to play golf if you can carry your own bag.
02:51:48.000 Think you can do it?
02:51:49.000 That's the biggest lie that is a six-handed cap, of all.
02:51:52.000 I was a kid here in the capital.
02:51:55.000 Eight?
02:51:56.000 There's 11.
02:51:57.000 But I have 11.
02:51:57.000 Let's see if you swing.
02:51:59.000 I know you swing.
02:52:00.000 Let's not act like children here.
02:52:03.000 Let's not act like children.
02:52:05.000 I know it's true.
02:52:06.000 That was so awesome.
02:52:08.000 Oh my gosh, I love it.
02:52:25.000 Well, I shouldn't have to say that, but of course I believe that.
02:52:28.000 It's totally unacceptable.
02:52:30.000 And if you would see my statements that I made on Twitter at the time, and also my statement that I made in the Rose Garden, you would say it's one of the strongest statements you've ever seen.
02:52:38.000 In addition to the speech I made, in front of, I believe, the largest crowd I've ever spoken to, and I will tell you, nobody ever talks about that.
02:52:45.000 They talk about
02:52:46.000 I'll tell you something.
02:53:05.000 I wish he was a great president because I wouldn't be here right now.
02:53:08.000 I'd be at one of my many places enjoying myself.
02:53:12.000 I wouldn't be under indictment because I wouldn't have been his political appoint, you know, opponent.
02:53:17.000 Because he indicted me because I was his opponent.
02:53:20.000 I wish he was a great president.
02:53:22.000 I would rather have that.
02:53:24.000 I wouldn't be here.
02:53:25.000 I don't mind being here.
02:53:26.000 But the only reason I'm here is he's so bad as a president.
02:53:29.000 That I'm going to make America great again.
02:53:31.000 We're going to make America great again.
02:53:33.000 We're a failing nation right now.
02:53:35.000 We're a seriously failing nation.
02:53:37.000 And we're a failing nation because of him.
02:53:39.000 His policies are so bad.
02:53:42.000 His military policies are insane.
02:53:46.000 They're insane.
02:53:47.000 These are wars that will never end with him.
02:53:49.000 He will drive us into World War III.
02:53:51.000 And we're closer to World War III than anybody can imagine.
02:53:55.000 We are very, very close to World War III, and he's driving us there.
02:53:59.000 And Kim Jong-un and President Xi of China, Kim Jong-un of North Korea, all of these are Putin.
02:54:06.000 They don't respect him.
02:54:07.000 They don't fear him.
02:54:09.000 They have nothing going with this gentleman, and he's going to drive us into World War III.
02:54:15.000 You want a World War III, let him follow and win and let Putin say, do what you want, NATO.
02:54:21.000 Just do what you want.
02:54:23.000 There's a thing called Article 5.
02:54:24.000 An attack on one is an attack on all.
02:54:26.000 A required response.
02:54:29.000 The idea, the idea.
02:54:31.000 I can't think of a single major leader in the world who wouldn't trade places with the job I've done and what they've done.
02:54:38.000 Because we are a powerful nation.
02:54:40.000 We have wonderful people.
02:54:40.000 It's because of the people, not me.
02:54:42.000 It's because of the American people.
02:54:43.000 They're capable of anything.
02:54:44.000 They step up when they need it.
02:54:46.000 And right now, we need it.
02:54:48.000 We need it to protect the world because our own safety is at stake.
02:54:52.000 And again, we're going to have a war.
02:54:54.000 Just let Putin go ahead and take Kiev.
02:54:56.000 Make sure they move on.
02:54:58.000 See what happens in Poland, Hungary, and other places along that border.
02:55:02.000 Then you have a war.
02:55:04.000 President Trump, as I come back to you for a follow-up, the question was, will you accept the results of this election, regardless of who wins?
02:55:13.000 Just to finish what he said, if I might.
02:55:17.000 Russia, they took a lot of land from Bush.
02:55:20.000 They took a lot of land from Obama and Biden.
02:55:24.000 They took no land, nothing, from Trump.
02:55:27.000 Nothing.
02:55:27.000 He knew not to do it.
02:55:29.000 You're not going to play games with me.
02:55:30.000 He knew that.
02:55:31.000 I got along with him very well, but he knew not to play games.
02:55:33.000 He took nothing from me.
02:55:36.000 But now he's going to take the whole thing from this man right here.
02:55:40.000 That's a war that should have never started.
02:55:42.000 It would have never started, ever, with me.
02:55:46.000 And he's going to take Ukraine.
02:55:48.000 And, you know, you asked me a question before.
02:55:50.000 Would you do this with — he's got us in such a bad position right now with Ukraine and Russia.
02:55:56.000 Because Ukraine's not winning that war.
02:55:58.000 He said, I will never settle until such time.
02:56:01.000 They're running out of people.
02:56:02.000 They're running out of soldiers.
02:56:03.000 They've lost so many people.
02:56:04.000 It's so sad.
02:56:05.000 They've lost so many people.
02:56:07.000 And they've lost those gorgeous cities with the golden domes that are a thousand years old, all because of him and stupid decisions.
02:56:14.000 Russia would have never attacked.
02:56:16.000 President Trump, the question was, will you accept the results of the election?
02:56:20.000 Regardless of who wins, yes or no, please.
02:56:47.000 Then I'm running again.
02:56:49.000 I wasn't really going to run until I saw the horrible job he did.
02:56:53.000 He's destroying our country.
02:56:55.000 I would be very happy to be someplace else, in a nice location someplace.
02:57:00.000 And again, no indictments, no political opponent stuff, because it's the only way he thinks he can win.
02:57:06.000 But unfortunately, it's driven up my numbers and driven them up to a very high level, because the people understand it.
02:57:13.000 Let's see what your numbers are when this election is over.
02:57:16.000 Let's see.
02:57:18.000 When you lost the first time, you continued, you appealed and appealed to courts all across the country.
02:57:24.000 Not one single court in America said any of your claims had any merit, state or local, none.
02:57:31.000 But you continue to provoke
02:57:34.000 No response?
02:57:34.000 Alright, well...
02:58:01.000 I think that's going to be closing statements at the end, so it'll probably be a short break.
02:58:07.000 Good stuff!
02:58:09.000 I gotta say, the golf thing was really funny.
02:58:12.000 I really enjoyed that.
02:58:15.000 And Trump is really heating up on Ukraine.
02:58:18.000 I just wish that there were, it's just like the first term, there were so many missed opportunities and this debate's obviously winding down now.
02:58:26.000 It's 9.30, so I think they do the closing statements and then that's it.
02:58:30.000 This really should have been a home run, and I don't think it was.
02:58:34.000 I think that Biden was, like I said earlier, he's weak, he looks bad, he sounds bad.
02:58:42.000 That is what people will talk about.
02:58:44.000 But there was no knockout blow.
02:58:46.000 Where was the killing shot?
02:58:48.000 Wasn't there.
02:58:51.000 There were a number of opportunities, I think, when Trump could have really leaned in or stressed Biden out, put some kind of pressure on him, but the pressure wasn't there.
02:59:01.000 You know, in a situation like this, when Biden shows up weak, he could, and I think he did tonight, coast, and it's not pretty, and no one's gonna love it, but he's gonna get to the end.
02:59:15.000 In a situation like this, you need to bury the opponent.
02:59:19.000 When they come weak, you gotta finish them off.
02:59:23.000 You gotta bury them.
02:59:25.000 And Trump didn't do that.
02:59:27.000 If anything, Trump, it almost was like Trump was, uh, it was a conscious decision not to acknowledge the cognitive issues.
02:59:37.000 And I wonder who told him that was a good idea, because obviously that was intentional.
02:59:42.000 It was especially noticeable at the beginning.
02:59:45.000 I mean, Biden was really rough.
02:59:46.000 I think Trump acknowledged it once.
02:59:48.000 It's a 90-minute debate.
02:59:51.000 There were a lot of issues.
02:59:52.000 I think Trump acknowledged it one time.
02:59:55.000 How bad Biden looks and sounds, and it was passing and subtle.
03:00:01.000 And so that tells me that maybe, because of course they anticipated this, that there was a decision that was made not to lean into that.
03:00:09.000 And I think that was a mistake.
03:00:11.000 I think that in a situation like this, you need to maximize the pressure to make the opponent utterly collapse and get in a knockout blow.
03:00:18.000 You know, this was bad for Biden, but the elections in five months, yes, it is very bad.
03:00:24.000 This makes me seriously doubt whether he will be the nominee, and I don't think he can do this again, and I think it will be very damaging, but there was no knockout blow, and so I think a lot of people are going to be willing and able to forget about this.
03:00:39.000 If there was something really decisive, something really brutal, if he leaned in early and made it
03:00:45.000 More challenging for Biden?
03:00:46.000 Because if he's struggling to just kind of keep up, and if Trump introduced even a little bit of pressure, and just switched up, did something unpredictable, or was super aggressive, or something, maybe that would have made Biden's performance worse.
03:01:02.000 Maybe could have caught him.
03:01:03.000 You know, there were, I feel like there was a lot more that could have been done.
03:01:06.000 There was so much left on the table here.
03:01:08.000 If anything, Trump was on the back foot at least once.
03:01:13.000 Like when Biden made the accusation about the World War II memorial, the sucker's comment, and Trump kept revisiting it and I think spent way too much time on that.
03:01:24.000 And the other thing is this debate was not biased.
03:01:28.000 I think the moderators were as fair as you can expect.
03:01:30.000 I think the format was very orderly and clean.
03:01:34.000 So if ever there was an opportunity, this was it.
03:01:38.000 And it didn't happen.
03:01:40.000 I think that's pretty representative of the whole thing.
03:01:42.000 We've made significant progress from the debacle that was left by President Trump in his last term.
03:02:00.000 We're good to go.
03:02:20.000 And if I'm reelected, that'll be the case again.
03:02:23.000 But this guy has increased your taxes because of the deficit, number one.
03:02:28.000 He's increased inflation because of the debacle he left after the way he handled the pandemic.
03:02:34.000 And he finds himself in a position where he now wants to tax you more by putting a 10 percent tariff on everything that comes in the United States of America.
03:02:42.000 Well, guess what?
03:02:59.000 We got it down to $35 for insulin instead of $400.
03:03:03.000 No more than $2,000 for every senior, no matter how much prescription they need.
03:03:11.000 You know what that did?
03:03:12.000 That reduced the federal debt by $160 billion over 10 years because the government doesn't have to pay the exorbitant prices.
03:03:21.000 I'm going to make that available to every senior.
03:03:25.000 Thank you, President Biden.
03:03:26.000 President Trump, you now have two minutes for your closing statement.
03:03:54.000 Like so many politicians, this man is just a complainer.
03:03:57.000 He said, we want to do this, we want to do that, we want to get rid of this tax, that tax.
03:04:02.000 But he doesn't do anything.
03:04:04.000 All he does is make our country unsafe by allowing millions and millions of people to pour in.
03:04:10.000 Our military doesn't respect him.
03:04:11.000 We look like fools in Afghanistan.
03:04:14.000 We didn't stop Israel.
03:04:16.000 It was such a horrible thing that would have never happened.
03:04:18.000 It should have never happened.
03:04:19.000 Iran was broke.
03:04:20.000 Anybody that did business with Iran, including China, they couldn't do business with the United States.
03:04:25.000 They all passed.
03:04:26.000 Iran was broke.
03:04:27.000 They had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah.
03:04:30.000 For terror, no money whatsoever.
03:04:32.000 Again, Ukraine should have never happened.
03:04:34.000 He talks about all this stuff, but he didn't do it.
03:04:36.000 For three and a half years, we're living in hell.
03:04:38.000 We have the Palestinians, and we have everybody else rioting all over the place.
03:04:43.000 You talk about Charlottesville.
03:04:45.000 This is a hundred times Charlottesville, a thousand times Charlottesville.
03:04:48.000 The whole country is exploding because of you.
03:04:50.000 Because they don't respect you.
03:04:52.000 And they have to respect their president.
03:04:54.000 And they don't respect you throughout the world.
03:04:57.000 You must respect the president.
03:05:13.000 We've never seen anything like it.
03:05:15.000 Even from a medical standpoint, right to try.
03:05:17.000 Well, we can try space-age materials instead of going to Asia or going to Europe and trying to get when you're terminally ill.
03:05:24.000 Now you can go and you can get something.
03:05:26.000 You sign a document.
03:05:27.000 They've been trying to get it for 42 years.
03:05:30.000 But you know what we did for the military was incredible choice for our soldiers, where our soldiers
03:05:35.000 Instead of waiting for three months to see a doctor, can go out and get themselves fixed up and readied up and take care of themselves, and they're living.
03:05:44.000 And that's why I had the highest approval rating in the history of the VA.
03:05:48.000 So all of these things.
03:05:49.000 We're in a failing nation, but it's not going to be failing anymore.
03:05:52.000 We're going to make it great again.
03:05:54.000 Thank you, former President Trump, President Biden.
03:05:58.000 Stay with us because we have full analysis of this debate.
03:06:02.000 Anderson Cooper and Aaron Burnett starts now on CNN.
03:06:08.000 Weird ending.
03:06:12.000 What the heck?
03:06:13.000 Okay, very bizarre ending.
03:06:16.000 Okay.
03:06:17.000 Oh, man.
03:06:20.000 Well, there you have it.
03:06:22.000 That is our first presidential debate.
03:06:25.000 Of the 2024 election, maybe the first and last.
03:06:31.000 So I'll talk a little bit about my initial thoughts and immediate reaction to the debate and kind of give a recap of everything that happened.
03:06:40.000 Then we'll read the super chats and then I'm going to end the stream.
03:06:43.000 But first just want to say thank you for joining me tonight.
03:06:47.000 If you're just here for the debate coverage, I appreciate you watching the stream.
03:06:51.000 I think this is my biggest rumble stream yet.
03:06:54.000 I think we hit a peak of nearly 27,000 viewers.
03:06:59.000 And I'm the only one that's not verified.
03:07:01.000 Isn't that funny?
03:07:02.000 Top four.
03:07:03.000 Top four streamer on the biggest night behind, like, three of their paid people.
03:07:09.000 And I'm, like, not verified.
03:07:10.000 But I'm not complaining.
03:07:11.000 I'm not gonna complain about that.
03:07:13.000 I'm happy to have the platform.
03:07:15.000 It would be nice to have a checkmark.
03:07:17.000 But that's okay.
03:07:19.000 So anyway, thank you everybody for watching.
03:07:22.000 We're going to keep it rolling though, and I want to get into my analysis here of the debate.
03:07:27.000 And I'm going to kind of pick up where I left off a moment ago on that last break.
03:07:31.000 My overall opinion is this.
03:07:33.000 I think that tonight and tomorrow, the big takeaway is Biden's condition.
03:07:41.000 Because when we watch these debates, people tend to overthink.
03:07:46.000 It really doesn't matter what actually happens.
03:07:48.000 It actually doesn't matter.
03:07:50.000 It's sort of like any sports game.
03:07:53.000 People remember the big play.
03:07:55.000 They remember the buzzer beater.
03:07:58.000 I don't watch sports, but you know, they remember the big thing.
03:08:02.000 It's about the moments.
03:08:04.000 It's not about the overall flow of the game or the flow of the debate.
03:08:09.000 So, so much of these debates, it's really about just having a perfunctory answer to everything.
03:08:19.000 And then it's about, can you score one of those moments?
03:08:24.000 Can you get a memorable moment?
03:08:25.000 What is going to be the buzz the following day?
03:08:30.000 And I think the buzz is going to be simply Biden's condition.
03:08:34.000 I don't think anything else was memorable.
03:08:35.000 I don't think anything else in the entire debate stuck out.
03:08:40.000 And I think, and I'm going to get into this, I think that was a very big missed opportunity.
03:08:44.000 There were no sparks.
03:08:46.000 There was no, on either side, there was not a major gotcha, not a major point score.
03:08:54.000 It just didn't happen.
03:08:57.000 So what people will talk about, the most shocking condition of the debate, or the most shocking aspect of it, was Biden's cognitive state.
03:09:06.000 His look, his sound, the whole thing.
03:09:09.000 And I think that makes it a win for Trump.
03:09:12.000 I think that a lot of people are going to see this.
03:09:16.000 I think it brings attention to just how bad he is.
03:09:19.000 At this point it is unignorable.
03:09:21.000 It has become the elephant in the room.
03:09:23.000 That he's not well.
03:09:25.000 And what's more, people see clearly that it is not an exaggeration.
03:09:29.000 This is not like a Fox News talking point.
03:09:32.000 This is not the kind of typical partisan slander.
03:09:37.000 It's real.
03:09:38.000 He's not well.
03:09:39.000 And what's more, it's not even just about people's perception.
03:09:43.000 I seriously question what his condition will be in five months.
03:09:48.000 Because as I said at the very beginning, the decline has been very rapid and substantial just recently, just in the past few months.
03:09:56.000 He's been holding on so far for the past three and a half years.
03:09:59.000 He's been holding on pretty good considering that he was slipping in 2020.
03:10:04.000 But just in the past few months, he has really taken a considerable dive.
03:10:09.000 And so as I said earlier, the big question is, what's it going to be in five months?
03:10:13.000 Is he even going to be here?
03:10:16.000 Because this is what death looks like.
03:10:18.000 I mean, I hate to say that.
03:10:20.000 People that are living a normal life, that look and sound like that, don't have a long time left.
03:10:26.000 And this is a guy who's in the position of being the president during an election year.
03:10:32.000 So it's an unimaginable amount of stress on a very frail, very old, rapidly declining man.
03:10:37.000 And it makes me wonder, and I wasn't so sure of this before, I said this on Alex Jones just yesterday though, I think it is becoming very likely that he will not be the nominee.
03:10:47.000 And I was skeptical of that for a long time.
03:10:50.000 I know that there has been talk about a dark horse, no pun intended, like Michelle Obama, or like Hillary Clinton, or somebody else.
03:10:59.000 And I was very skeptical of that for the past few years because that's an idea that's been floated but after tonight I think it there's a significant chance that this is the case because
03:11:12.000 And certainly if that's not going to happen, I don't think they'll do another debate.
03:11:16.000 I don't think they can subject him to exposure like this again.
03:11:21.000 I think this was an unmitigated optical disaster, public relations disaster, and certainly I think it's one they won't want to repeat.
03:11:30.000 So I think that's the big takeaway.
03:11:32.000 That is overall.
03:11:33.000 The only other memorable moment was the golf banter.
03:11:37.000 I think that was sufficiently funny and memetic and memorable.
03:11:40.000 I think those will be the two things that people remember a year from now and next week.
03:11:45.000 It's going to be the funny golf moment.
03:11:47.000 That'll be on the late shows and that'll be clipped.
03:11:51.000 And it will be the state of Biden overall.
03:11:54.000 The rest, not so much.
03:11:56.000 And to that point, and I'm going to move on to my second point here,
03:12:01.000 I think that this was a major missed opportunity because when Biden is so degraded and so weak and actually in an environment which is more favorable, I think this debate, unlike the other debates, was more fair.
03:12:15.000 I don't think it was perfectly fair.
03:12:17.000 I don't think it was...
03:12:19.000 Objectively fair, but I think it was about as fair as you can expect.
03:12:24.000 I think that equal time was given.
03:12:26.000 I think that the questions were as unbiased as you can expect from CNN.
03:12:31.000 And unlike other debates, I think it was orderly and it was clean.
03:12:35.000 So the environment was optimal.
03:12:39.000 And Biden's condition was very bad.
03:12:42.000 So in a situation like this, you're supposed to come in with this kind of advantage, and like I said, in a favorable environment, and you're supposed to be able to dunk.
03:12:54.000 You're supposed to be able to score a lot of points.
03:12:57.000 And that just didn't happen.
03:13:00.000 And I'm hard-pressed to think of one moment that was on the level of anything that was said in the 2016 debates.
03:13:08.000 The primary debates, the general debates.
03:13:10.000 I mean, the one thing that you remember from Trump 2016 was all the funny debate moments.
03:13:15.000 It was funny, it was sharp, it was on point.
03:13:20.000 People still clip the first primary debate.
03:13:25.000 Maybe it was the first, maybe I think it was actually the second one, where Trump laid into Jeb Bush and then attacked the audience saying that it's all donors in the audience and that's why they're not applauding him.
03:13:38.000 And there were a lot of those.
03:13:39.000 There was the famous you'd be in jail in the second general election debate.
03:13:44.000 And it didn't happen in 2020 and it didn't happen this time.
03:13:47.000 And I really think there's just no good excuse for that.
03:13:50.000 I think that Trump is out of form.
03:13:53.000 I think he's unprepared.
03:13:54.000 He's golfing a lot.
03:13:56.000 And you know the funny thing about Trump in 2016?
03:13:58.000 He didn't golf once.
03:14:01.000 A lot of people don't know that.
03:14:03.000 And that's not an exaggeration.
03:14:05.000 In the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump did not go golfing one single solitary time.
03:14:15.000 Factual.
03:14:15.000 Literally true.
03:14:18.000 And this time, he's golfing all the time, and he's doing only softball interviews with people that are friendly to him.
03:14:25.000 And I think he's out of form.
03:14:26.000 And I think it showed.
03:14:27.000 I think it took him about 30 minutes to heat up.
03:14:30.000 I think that the first few answers were very sloppy and repetitive and suboptimal.
03:14:38.000 And I just think there's no excuse for that.
03:14:39.000 So it took him 30 minutes to warm up.
03:14:42.000 And then I think he found a groove.
03:14:43.000 And then I think he was doing an okay job.
03:14:46.000 And by the end of it, I think he really found his voice.
03:14:51.000 And I think he was being very strategic about how he answered the question.
03:14:55.000 He took a question about daycare and made it about something else.
03:14:58.000 He took the question about the election and made it about Ukraine and hammered the greatest hits.
03:15:02.000 Which is what you're supposed to do.
03:15:05.000 But it took him 75% of the debate to get to a point where he was doing good.
03:15:10.000 Not exceptional, not fantastic, but good.
03:15:15.000 And I think that that is just not acceptable.
03:15:19.000 I think that at this stage in the game, it's just not tolerable.
03:15:22.000 This is going to get the job done, but this is not running across the finish line.
03:15:26.000 It's not running through first base.
03:15:29.000 And like we said earlier,
03:15:31.000 He's doing well in the polls.
03:15:33.000 The forecasts say that he's not as likely to win as the polls might suggest.
03:15:38.000 But you're going to be dealing with fraud.
03:15:39.000 There may be black swan events that happen in the future.
03:15:42.000 You've got to be firing at all cylinders.
03:15:44.000 You've got to be at 100% capacity.
03:15:47.000 And I think tonight he was at about 50% capacity.
03:15:50.000 I think he's gotten a little bit complacent and a little bit lazy and self-indulgent.
03:15:55.000 I think he was unprepared.
03:15:57.000 And I think the performance tonight was sloppy.
03:16:00.000 And as a result, there were no haymakers.
03:16:03.000 There was no moment when everybody said, wow, this is the guy.
03:16:09.000 And there was no shortage of those kinds of moments in 2016.
03:16:13.000 That's what got him to this point.
03:16:16.000 So I think that he won the debate, clearly.
03:16:20.000 I think that the memorable aspect of this debate is Biden's condition, but there's no excuse why there wasn't at least one
03:16:28.000 Grand slam.
03:16:29.000 And there should have been multiple.
03:16:31.000 And if he came in prepared, if he came in practiced and rehearsed and on the ball, I think there would have been moments.
03:16:38.000 I think that he could have taken much... I think there could have been... I think he could have exploited Biden's condition much more than he did.
03:16:47.000 And at the minimum, acknowledged it and poked fun at it.
03:16:51.000 And like I said earlier, I think that that was probably an intentional decision not to do that.
03:16:57.000 Because it was very noticeable that Biden was not well at the beginning.
03:17:01.000 And it was written all over Trump's face that he knew it and he was aware of it.
03:17:06.000 It was obvious!
03:17:08.000 And yet, he completely refrained from even acknowledging it.
03:17:12.000 And that tells me that a decision was made in the campaign that, for whatever reason, that is bad strategy.
03:17:18.000 And I think that is wrong.
03:17:20.000 I think that was a mistake.
03:17:21.000 I think that he should have leaned into that.
03:17:23.000 I think he should have exploited that.
03:17:24.000 I think he should have went harder.
03:17:27.000 I think should have been more prepared and I think that, you know, this was not the performance of a lifetime.
03:17:33.000 This was not the 100% completion and that's just disappointing.
03:17:40.000 And I said earlier that that is representative of this whole operation, which is that we are kind of being served up on a silver platter.
03:17:50.000 The best opportunity that we may get to restore America
03:17:55.000 And it's constantly being squandered by deliberately bad decisions on personnel, on policy, on a lot of this stuff.
03:18:04.000 And this was the perfect example of that.
03:18:06.000 He went in there.
03:18:07.000 He thought he was going to wing it.
03:18:08.000 I mean, like a high school student or something, like I would do.
03:18:13.000 And for that reason, I think that it was not as good as it could have been.
03:18:17.000 And I'm not being, I don't think I'm being picky either.
03:18:19.000 I think Biden was extremely weak and in spite of that,
03:18:23.000 It wasn't like a blowout.
03:18:24.000 There was no... I think overall the trajectory of the debate is that Trump was dominant.
03:18:29.000 I think that he was winning, but only because Biden looked and sounded so bad.
03:18:33.000 And there's just no excuse that it should have been like that.
03:18:35.000 It should have been far more one-sided.
03:18:38.000 So that's my feelings on it, and those are the memorable things.
03:18:43.000 To get specific, one other thing I thought was interesting
03:18:48.000 Is that when Trump was asked about Israel, he totally sidestepped it.
03:18:52.000 And I don't know if you noticed that, but Biden spent a lot of time talking about Israel and saying that he was going to give them whatever they need when they ask for it.
03:19:02.000 And he said that, regarding the Palestinians, he said that he was withholding some aid from Israel because it would cause civilian casualties.
03:19:14.000 I thought that was an interesting, you know,
03:19:16.000 Like Trump, there was a decision made to pander to both sides, but definitely more to Israel.
03:19:22.000 So Biden had some rehearsed answers on Israel, and I think he spent the full two or three minutes talking about it.
03:19:28.000 Trump completely evaded the subject.
03:19:31.000 It was all about Ukraine.
03:19:33.000 Didn't touch Israel.
03:19:35.000 And I thought that was so remarkable because if it had been Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley, they would have taken 30 minutes to glaze Israel.
03:19:45.000 They would have taken 40... half the debate would be, and let me just get back to Israel's our closest ally and we got to give them what they want, when they want it.
03:19:54.000 Biden hates Israel.
03:19:55.000 Biden hates Jews.
03:19:56.000 Like that would have been the debate if it was Haley or DeSantis.
03:20:00.000 And it was so Trump that he just avoided it, and that was correct.
03:20:06.000 That was the corre- I mean, I would prefer that he would go hard on Israel.
03:20:13.000 But I think his position's actually the correct position, because there's no way to win.
03:20:18.000 If he goes hard on Palestine, he loses the support of the Zionists, which is propelling him to victory.
03:20:24.000 If he goes hard on
03:20:27.000 Palestine?
03:20:28.000 Or did I say that right?
03:20:29.000 If he went hard on Israel and took the innovative, America first, Gruyper position, alienates his Zionist backers and, you know, like it or not, strategically, it would be bad for his campaign.
03:20:41.000 If he went hard on Israel, or rather on Palestine, then it would have forced a lot of the people that may consider staying home or voting for Trump over Biden because of his support for Israel, it might make them reconsider.
03:20:56.000 So he got in the middle by avoiding it and saying, look, I'm just not touching that.
03:21:01.000 I'm not going to alienate the Zionists.
03:21:02.000 I'm not going to alienate the Palestinians.
03:21:04.000 I'm not going to make it so that the Jews question whether they should back me and give me money.
03:21:10.000 I'm not going to upset the Palestinians by...
03:21:14.000 Totally supporting Israel and throwing a bone to my backers.
03:21:18.000 So I thought that was very clever.
03:21:21.000 I thought that was the right instinct and only Trump would do that.
03:21:26.000 Any other Republican nominee would be getting up there and they would probably literally like get on their knees and recite a loyalty pledge and say, I swear I'm gonna always support Israel.
03:21:35.000 You know, so for Trump to avoid that,
03:21:37.000 Was really remarkable.
03:21:39.000 I think it would have been better.
03:21:40.000 I think it would have been more.
03:21:42.000 I would prefer I think it'd be more historic, although riskier, to take a bold approach and lean into Palestine.
03:21:50.000 But I think that this is classic Art of the Deal, classic Trump, which is to do the thing that's going to move him down the field.
03:22:00.000 It's not the thing that's the most principled.
03:22:03.000 It's not the thing that is the most conventional.
03:22:05.000 But it is the thing that is going to get the job done.
03:22:08.000 And so I thought that was brilliant.
03:22:09.000 And like I said, only Trump would do it.
03:22:12.000 And for that reason, you can't call Trump a Jewish shill completely.
03:22:18.000 I'm very critical of his position, but I'm not critical of his position in the same way as other people.
03:22:25.000 If you watch me, you know that.
03:22:27.000 And I had a debate with Michael Tracy about this a few months ago on Twitter.
03:22:31.000 Michael Tracy's like a fat, schlub leftist, and he just rails about how Trump is a sellout to Israel all the time.
03:22:38.000 And in some sense, I agree.
03:22:41.000 But I differ in the sense that Trump is distinct from other Jewish controlled Republicans.
03:22:48.000 And you know that because he never talks about Israel the way they do.
03:22:52.000 And if he does, he does it behind closed doors.
03:22:55.000 And he tells them what they want to hear.
03:22:57.000 And it is true that in the first term he gave them what they wanted, but he also did some things that they didn't want.
03:23:03.000 That's the art of the deal.
03:23:05.000 So you could see that Trump
03:23:07.000 We'll take the Jewish money, and he'll dispense the patronage.
03:23:11.000 But that's all it is, is it's a deal.
03:23:14.000 He's not in their pocket, I don't think.
03:23:17.000 He's not ideologically a Zionist.
03:23:19.000 He's never called himself a Zionist.
03:23:21.000 But he has made a deal.
03:23:24.000 Whereas Nikki Haley and DeSantis, they will get out there and say,
03:23:28.000 Oh, Israel's the greatest country ever, and we just gotta send them everything, and it's so important, and blah blah, because they... It's not a deal for them.
03:23:38.000 They're not saying what they need to say to get the money to get elected.
03:23:42.000 They're true believers.
03:23:44.000 And they're also completely sponsored by Israel, and without it, they would have no career.
03:23:50.000 And so there's a subtle distinction.
03:23:53.000 It's not to say, and don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that Trump is not influenced.
03:23:59.000 He clearly is.
03:24:00.000 Miriam Adelson's writing him a hundred million dollar check and it will come with strings attached.
03:24:05.000 But I'm saying it's a subtle difference that he has made a deal versus selling out or being bought.
03:24:11.000 It may sound like the same thing but
03:24:14.000 This is the difference.
03:24:16.000 The difference is that Trump, when he gets up there, I'm sure a lot of Jews were not happy.
03:24:20.000 I'm sure Miriam Adelson was not happy with what she saw.
03:24:24.000 Maybe she wasn't offended, maybe she wasn't pissed, but she wasn't happy.
03:24:30.000 Because Israel was not talked about.
03:24:32.000 He did not talk about it.
03:24:34.000 And he really didn't even say he supported them so much.
03:24:37.000 The only thing he said about Israel was, well, you know, if I was president, they wouldn't have gotten attacked, and, you know, they're unrelenting, and you gotta just let them finish it.
03:24:46.000 And that was all he said.
03:24:47.000 Not, they're our closest ally and blah blah.
03:24:51.000 And you know that that is what the Jews want to see.
03:24:53.000 After October 7th, they want a Republican who understands the Israeli consciousness and understands the psychological impact of the attack and the peril that the Jewish state is in.
03:25:04.000 They wanted to hear all that crap.
03:25:06.000 And they wanted to hear that he was going to give them a blank check and
03:25:10.000 And they didn't get that.
03:25:12.000 And that's Trump's instinct.
03:25:13.000 And that's the deal-making mindset.
03:25:18.000 And it shows that Trump really has no loyalty.
03:25:21.000 Other than to the objective, which is in some ways a good thing, in some ways a bad thing.
03:25:26.000 But it is subtly different from what DeSantis and Haley represent.
03:25:31.000 And that's why their answers are so different, and the focus is different.
03:25:34.000 So, that was something that I don't know how many people really caught that.
03:25:38.000 Of course, someone like myself was really waiting to hear what the answer would be on that subject, and I was a little bit surprised, I'm gonna be honest.
03:25:46.000 I thought that Trump was gonna go out there and do the glazing, because he needs the check.
03:25:50.000 But he didn't.
03:25:52.000 So that was something.
03:25:54.000 So, you know, this, for me, the debate moved me closer to Trump.
03:26:01.000 And I'm not committed yet, I'm not all the way in, I'm suspicious about some of the things I'm hearing, but that did nudge me closer.
03:26:09.000 I'm not going to lie.
03:26:11.000 Immigration came up, and he said, they're killing us and we gotta deport them.
03:26:15.000 He said it's a rat's nest.
03:26:17.000 They're rats.
03:26:19.000 Epic stuff.
03:26:20.000 And then on Israel, he totally abstained, basically.
03:26:24.000 That nudged me closer to Trump.
03:26:27.000 And I know I represent a small constituency.
03:26:30.000 I know there are very few Americans in the grand scheme of things.
03:26:33.000 There's 150 million people that vote.
03:26:36.000 It's a very small constituency that that mattered at all to.
03:26:39.000 It's like me and you.
03:26:40.000 But that did nudge me closer because that was like, okay, so he didn't, he's not actually a full sellout.
03:26:47.000 It is kind of still the same proposition from before, at least for this particular deal.
03:26:54.000 So that was notable.
03:26:55.000 He was really, the thing that Trump, I think, found was working was the Ukraine angle.
03:27:03.000 That was the thing that he kept coming back to and hitting.
03:27:05.000 Ukraine, social security, veterans.
03:27:09.000 Those were like his three big picks.
03:27:11.000 He avoided abortion and Israel like the plague, and he really went in on Ukraine, on the veterans, and on social security.
03:27:21.000 And it's very clear why.
03:27:23.000 The idea that Biden is bankrupting Medicare and Social Security is pretty smart because that connects immigration to the domestic economic problems.
03:27:35.000 You know, a lot of people, like seniors, elderly, for example, all they care about is Social Security and Medicare.
03:27:42.000 And any candidate that even hints at compromising Social Security and Medicare, it's a big problem because the elderly vote and that's what they care about.
03:27:52.000 So connecting that to the migrant crisis and saying that, look, these resources are being drained because of immigration.
03:27:59.000 I thought that was really smart.
03:28:01.000 I wanted to hear more of that, but it did get out there and I thought that was good.
03:28:06.000 And the thing at the beginning, which was a disaster, was Biden said he beat Medicare, which was a gaffe.
03:28:11.000 And that's one of the things Trump seized on.
03:28:13.000 But I don't think it was aggressive enough, but it was good.
03:28:18.000 So he leaned in on Medicare, on Ukraine.
03:28:20.000 He said, you know, they would have never attacked.
03:28:22.000 And it's actually poignant.
03:28:23.000 It's true.
03:28:25.000 That Putin invaded Georgia under Bush and annexed Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
03:28:31.000 It's true that Putin invaded Crimea and initiated the civil war in Ukraine and Donbass under Obama.
03:28:38.000 And it's true that Putin invaded Ukraine and seized the four oblasts under Biden.
03:28:44.000 And I never thought of it that way, but it's absolutely true.
03:28:47.000 And when you think about it that way, you realize what a failure the Uniparty is.
03:28:52.000 That
03:28:54.000 And, you know, this is another thing that's, like, nudging me back towards Trump.
03:28:59.000 It is true.
03:29:00.000 Putin took land under every president other than Trump.
03:29:06.000 Putin invaded Georgia under Bush, Crimea under Obama, Ukraine under Biden, not under Trump.
03:29:13.000 And it's also true, in a related way, that Trump did not initiate any new wars.
03:29:20.000 And I know people say that, but specifically regarding the Middle East, we know, of course, Bush initiated Iraq and Afghanistan and the global war on terror.
03:29:30.000 Obama expanded the operation and brought the troops to Niger and Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the war against the Houthis and droning Pakistan and got us involved in Syria.
03:29:45.000 And under Trump, he actually initiated the Afghanistan withdrawal.
03:29:49.000 Did not expand any of the wars.
03:29:51.000 The war with the Houthis was brought to an end.
03:29:53.000 The occupation of Syria was drawn down.
03:29:56.000 The occupation of Iraq was drawn down.
03:29:59.000 And then under Biden, we're now re-engaged in Yemen.
03:30:03.000 The war against the Houthis has restarted.
03:30:05.000 There's potentially another war in Lebanon.
03:30:07.000 We're involved in Gaza.
03:30:09.000 We're shooting down Iranian drones.
03:30:11.000 So,
03:30:12.000 You know, and I never thought of it that way specifically, but the Ukraine thing made me think of it.
03:30:17.000 It's like, the Trump foreign policy was the most successful, and that is kind of like my ideal foreign policy.
03:30:24.000 It's not, because I'm not a pacifist.
03:30:28.000 I'm not even, I wouldn't call myself a non-interventionist.
03:30:32.000 We're an empire.
03:30:33.000 We need to intervene.
03:30:35.000 And the only way to deter conflict is through strength.
03:30:38.000 So I believe in a big military.
03:30:40.000 And I believe in American domination of the globe.
03:30:45.000 I just don't believe in fighting Israel's wars.
03:30:48.000 And I don't believe in fighting great power wars.
03:30:50.000 I don't think it's in America's interest to go to war with Russia and China.
03:30:54.000 I don't think it's America's interest to occupy Iraq and try to make it a democracy.
03:31:00.000 But some of the actions that Trump undertook, which were symbolic, but demonstrated strength, and some of the moves that he made against Maduro and against Iran, and even against Russia, I think they were calculated and strategic.
03:31:15.000 And I'm not an ideological non-interventionist.
03:31:20.000 So, yes, I'm kind of getting nudged a little bit closer there.
03:31:23.000 I'm not a hundred percent, but the debate nudged me a little bit further in, reminding me of some of the good things about Trump, because there's been a lot of negative over the past few months.
03:31:33.000 So, the debate, you know, if anything, the debate pushed the Gropers closer to Trump, for sure, with the way that he abstained on Israel and, you know, reminding us that at the end of the day he is against illegal immigration and he is against war.
03:31:48.000 So, I'd just like to see more of that.
03:31:49.000 When Trump
03:31:51.000 Is allowed to speak?
03:31:53.000 Instinctually, he is with us.
03:31:55.000 I think he's very close to us.
03:31:57.000 But the problem is, when he goes on these podcasts with donors, like he did on the All In podcast, he's going to say what they want to hear.
03:32:06.000 And when he goes and he has an audience with the Jews, he's going to tell them what they want to hear, that they're going to deport the Palestinians.
03:32:13.000 And he said that again tonight, compared them to J6, which I didn't like that.
03:32:21.000 So yeah, it once again reveals that Trump remains a mixed bag, but there still might be some opportunities with him.
03:32:32.000 Trump is not going to deliver the victory, but his salutary neglect is maybe going to afford us opportunities to do it ourselves, is how I would phrase it.
03:32:49.000 And by that I mean that
03:32:51.000 Trump is kind of like a sleep at the wheel in some sense, like he's a deal maker, he's kind of keeping things in motion, he's not ideologically committed.
03:32:58.000 Bad people can get in and steer the ship, but good people can also get in and steer the ship.
03:33:03.000 So I'm kind of coming to terms with the fact that Trump will probably win.
03:33:08.000 It's just that we really need to fight like hell for the Trump administration.
03:33:15.000 If Trump wins, it doesn't mean we win automatically.
03:33:18.000 We are going to have to fight over the next four years within the Trump movement to exert our influence.
03:33:25.000 And that is the part that is frustrating.
03:33:27.000 And I want to do a lot of the fighting before the election because that's when we have more leverage.
03:33:32.000 When he's in,
03:33:34.000 There's not a lot of leverage.
03:33:35.000 Before he wins, that's when maybe we can be heard more.
03:33:39.000 So that's kind of what I'm trying to do.
03:33:41.000 But anyway, so that's just my thinking on the whole thing.
03:33:45.000 Overall, it's a very boring debate.
03:33:47.000 And, you know, Joe Biden just sucks.
03:33:50.000 I don't know how anybody could support him.
03:33:53.000 Like, the left broadly is against Israel and for all the wrong reasons, but that's not enough for me to even consider Biden.
03:34:02.000 He's just a piece of shit liberal and just sucks and is gay.
03:34:06.000 And if you vote for him, you just kind of, you know, that's why I can never go all the way like, you know, I really respect Charles Johnson.
03:34:12.000 I really respect Richard Spencer.
03:34:14.000 I think they're smart guys.
03:34:16.000 And I read them because I think they're very intelligent.
03:34:19.000 I think they have much more to say and more ideas than your average Republican.
03:34:23.000 But when they vote for Biden, I'm like, I just don't know what you're thinking.
03:34:27.000 You know, I will never, I can never go that far because it's just so insane, especially with what we just saw.
03:34:34.000 And I think it speaks for itself.
03:34:37.000 I'm not even going to make an argument.
03:34:38.000 It just speaks for itself.
03:34:40.000 So, because I know some people have compared me to that.
03:34:42.000 I've been critical of Trump, but I want to make it very clear I'm not critical of Trump in the same way as those guys or as Michael Tracy or even the, like, some of the, like, anti-Israel people.
03:34:59.000 Because I, you know, I am against Israel and some of them, that has made them very anti-Trump.
03:35:04.000 I'm not anti-Trump.
03:35:07.000 I just, uniquely,
03:35:10.000 I'm in a position where I understand how difficult it's going to be to make the Trump administration work for us.
03:35:18.000 I think it can be done.
03:35:19.000 I think it's unlikely.
03:35:21.000 And I just want Trump to hear us.
03:35:24.000 I want somebody to hear us so that we can get the right people and we have an easier time over the next four years.
03:35:31.000 So that we can make very radical change.
03:35:33.000 That's my concern.
03:35:34.000 It's got nothing to do with I don't like him or whatever.
03:35:38.000 So, because him and I have been inextricably connected for the last seven years.
03:35:43.000 I know that sounds like delusional or like schizophrenic or whatever, but it's true.
03:35:47.000 I mean, the intro to the show is Trump.
03:35:50.000 The name of the show came from his inaugural.
03:35:52.000 You know, when they asked me what I wanted to name the show, RSBN,
03:35:56.000 I said America first because it's what Trump said.
03:36:00.000 Americanism, not globalism will be our credo.
03:36:02.000 It's going to be only America first.
03:36:04.000 And then I was at Charlottesville.
03:36:06.000 And then I was at January 6th.
03:36:08.000 Then I was at the dinner.
03:36:09.000 I met him.
03:36:11.000 And Trump also created me.
03:36:13.000 Trump red-pilled me.
03:36:15.000 Trump moved me from constitutionalist, libertarian, to a nationalist.
03:36:19.000 He woke me up on immigration, on trade, on foreign policy.
03:36:23.000 He started me on the path.
03:36:25.000 To enlightenment on all these issues and move me away from this loser ideological conservatism and towards something pragmatic and nationalistic.
03:36:35.000 So, you know, I am a product to someone that became an adult during the Trump revolution.
03:36:43.000 I'm that next wave.
03:36:45.000 I'm part of the Trump generation.
03:36:48.000 My destiny has been inextricably bound up with his.
03:36:52.000 His campaign is what energized me and, in a sense, propelled me and my own movement, although it's distinct from his in key ways, but deeply influenced by it.
03:37:03.000 So that's why I have a far more complicated approach and position towards him than most other than leftists who are just, I fucking hate leftists.
03:37:15.000 Like Fat Michael Tracy, I think he's just a scum sucking freak.
03:37:19.000 And the way he looks with his soy face, glasses, beard, obesity look that they all have.
03:37:26.000 This like low T face.
03:37:28.000 So it's not that and it's not the like, you know too clever for their own good Richard Spencer thing where you talk yourself into being a Democrat It's completely
03:37:40.000 Different.
03:37:41.000 And honestly, my position is the position that other people have.
03:37:47.000 I'm not going to say who.
03:37:48.000 But a lot of the Trump loyalists, from the beginning, feel the exact same way that I do.
03:37:54.000 Or almost exactly the same way that I do.
03:37:58.000 It's a personal admiration for Trump, a recognition of his greatness and his impact, but also
03:38:04.000 A disappointment with what has happened, moderated by an understanding of the difficulty and the reality of the situation, but also just wanting more out of this opportunity and pragmatically trying to get it.
03:38:17.000 That's kind of where I'm at.
03:38:19.000 So anyway, that's my personal statement.
03:38:22.000 That is my personal testimony on me and Donald Trump.
03:38:26.000 But I want to move on.
03:38:28.000 So that's my take on the whole thing.
03:38:29.000 That's my take on the debate.
03:38:31.000 It was good for Trump.
03:38:32.000 It was bad for Biden.
03:38:33.000 I don't think we'll get another one.
03:38:36.000 Seems more likely than ever Biden won't be the nominee.
03:38:39.000 And I think it was an optical disaster.
03:38:40.000 I think it may be over for him.
03:38:42.000 And I'm very curious to see what the shock poll will be.
03:38:46.000 I don't think there has ever been.
03:38:58.000 Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, it's even worse.
03:39:01.000 I don't think there's ever been somebody less charismatic.
03:39:04.000 I mean even Mitt Romney was like likable.
03:39:07.000 Even John McCain had this, okay he's like a veteran and a maverick, and George Bush was a cowboy, and John Kerry was a blue blood, and Al Gore was a, well he was a nerd, I mean I guess he fucking sucked, but Bill Clinton was charming.
03:39:24.000 There were some shitters in the 90s I guess, but like
03:39:27.000 This is the worst ever.
03:39:29.000 In the history of televised presidential debates, you've had people that are weak, you've had bad moments, you've had people that come across worse.
03:39:39.000 I don't think it's a Trumpian exaggeration to say this was literally the worst performance in the history of televised debates.
03:39:48.000 And there haven't been a lot of them.
03:39:50.000 They've only been doing them since 1960.
03:39:52.000 And this is, and who would be the worst?
03:39:55.000 Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon in 60, and this is the worst.
03:40:01.000 People used to say that Hillary Clinton was sick.
03:40:03.000 I'm old enough to remember, as much as I hate to say it because I'm an old man now, but I'm old enough to remember when they would say that Hillary Clinton was too sick.
03:40:12.000 Remember when she was coughing all the time and
03:40:16.000 And you go back and watch her and she looks like an all-star.
03:40:19.000 She looks like a beautiful mind.
03:40:21.000 She looks like Rain Man.
03:40:23.000 So, this was rough.
03:40:26.000 So I don't want to undersell that.
03:40:28.000 I think that it's very bad.
03:40:31.000 But I do think that Trump could have done better.
03:40:33.000 I don't want to be too picky, but I think it could have been better.
03:40:38.000 So that's my take, but I want to move on.
03:40:41.000 We're going to take a look at the super chats.
03:40:43.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this, but that's my take.
03:40:46.000 I hope that is a good take.
03:40:49.000 I'm trying to give you guys something that isn't just garbage.
03:40:53.000 I care very deeply that this is good analysis, or at least that it's thoughtful and novel.
03:40:59.000 It's not just like,
03:41:01.000 Oh yeah, Biden's demented and Trump's just, you know, great and whatever.
03:41:06.000 Like, I'm trying to give you something that's a little bit more thoughtful than, you know, we're going out for the team today.
03:41:13.000 We're going out for the red party.
03:41:15.000 Because I'm not a Republican.
03:41:17.000 I hate Republicans.
03:41:18.000 And I hate Democrats.
03:41:19.000 I'm with the Trump movement.
03:41:21.000 I'm a nationalist.
03:41:23.000 But I'm just conflicted about some of the compromises that are being made.
03:41:28.000 And I'm deeply concerned about
03:41:31.000 The execution of a future Trump administration, but with that we're gonna move on We're gonna take a look at the super chats.
03:41:38.000 We'll see what you guys have to say.
03:41:39.000 I'm sure we have quite a few So I'm probably just gonna read the big ones and then I'm gonna get out of here So let me take a look here.
03:41:48.000 We'll see we got I think I'm just gonna read the big ones and then dip because I
03:41:54.000 I'm tired.
03:41:56.000 Also, I apologize.
03:41:58.000 I know the stream cut out at the beginning.
03:42:01.000 It wasn't my fault.
03:42:02.000 Rumble crashed the first, like, 20 minutes of the debate, which really sucked.
03:42:09.000 But, it is what it is.
03:42:11.000 I'm sure they just can't handle the traffic, which is a good problem to have, I suppose.
03:42:15.000 But, great viewing!
03:42:16.000 It was a great night all the way around.
03:42:18.000 I thought it was a great stream.
03:42:19.000 A lot of fun.
03:42:20.000 High energy.
03:42:20.000 Great viewership.
03:42:22.000 I think everyone had a good time.
03:42:23.000 So,
03:42:25.000 Thanks for joining me.
03:42:26.000 We're going to take a look at our Super Chats and then I'm going to get out of here.
03:42:31.000 Let's see what we got.
03:42:32.000 Boomer1963 sent $100.
03:42:33.000 God bless you.
03:42:34.000 Hey, thank you so much man.
03:42:37.000 God bless you too.
03:42:38.000 I appreciate it.
03:42:40.000 Faradluco sent $100.
03:42:42.000 Totally mogging the whole website.
03:42:44.000 Not verified.
03:42:45.000 Shadow banned.
03:42:46.000 Not promoted on the front page.
03:42:48.000 You're beyond goaded.
03:42:50.000 Yeah, I think it really should be.
03:42:53.000 I think I deserve a lot of credit for that.
03:42:58.000 All these people on Rumble are promoted by Rumble, and they all have their checkmarks, and they all go on the front page.
03:43:05.000 Like, I am really just appreciative that they have me.
03:43:08.000 I am just glad and I'm happy to be here.
03:43:11.000 But I am at a disadvantage.
03:43:14.000 And I'm not saying that to complain, but in spite of that, I'm still one of the top streamers.
03:43:18.000 I'm still the top four streamer behind Dan Bungino, who is an investor on this platform, Steve Crowder, Andrew Tate, who's also, I think, involved in some way.
03:43:31.000 So, um, but I'm not sure about that.
03:43:34.000 I might be mistaken.
03:43:36.000 So, for me to be in the top four, in spite of everything that's happened, being deplatformed for years from everything, being banned from Twitter for years, Facebook, Instagram, from every major streaming platform, to have this comeback like this, just totally out of nowhere, being in the woods for three years to just arrive on Rumble and take over the platform, still being shadowbanned without a checkmark,
03:43:58.000 It is pretty impressive.
03:44:00.000 I am pretty impressive.
03:44:01.000 So thank you.
03:44:01.000 I do appreciate that and I'm glad you acknowledge that.
03:44:04.000 Thank you for the big super chat.
03:44:07.000 Who else?
03:44:07.000 True.
03:44:07.000 That's so true.
03:44:07.000 People always ask me what they can do.
03:44:09.000 It's very simple.
03:44:09.000 Attack my enemies.
03:44:10.000 Send me money.
03:44:10.000 You wanna help?
03:44:11.000 Those are the two easiest things.
03:44:12.000 Make a Twitter account.
03:44:13.000 Retweet me.
03:44:13.000 Like my shit.
03:44:13.000 Attack my enemies.
03:44:37.000 And send me superchats.
03:44:39.000 No, but thanks for the big superchat.
03:44:41.000 It's true!
03:44:42.000 I feel like, you know, we really have an outsized impact within politics rather than... I obviously don't have like a mass audience like Fox News does, but within politics I'm deeply a part of the conversation because of my influence with the key demographic of young white men.
03:45:00.000 And also because my influence can't be ignored, this cult-like following.
03:45:05.000 And it's because, at the end of the day, I'm the only one independent.
03:45:10.000 Everybody else is a shill for somebody.
03:45:13.000 Everybody else is a shill for an advertiser, a sponsor, the party, whatever.
03:45:19.000 There's certain things they can't say.
03:45:21.000 And the value that I bring is I really am just like the only one in the space that is 100% independent, for better or for worse.
03:45:30.000 Like, I just get on here, I say what's on my mind, I don't care who I offend, I say literally whatever I want.
03:45:36.000 People say, oh, I'm not politically incorrect, I'll offend everybody.
03:45:40.000 And then their hottest take is like, there's two genders.
03:45:44.000 You know?
03:45:46.000 I believe there's only two genders.
03:45:47.000 Walk me away, officer!
03:45:49.000 It's like, yeah, that's actually not that offensive.
03:45:52.000 I'll go on the show and say 17?
03:45:54.000 What's the big deal?
03:45:55.000 I'll go on the show and just start dropping the n-word and say, hey man, Jews run the media and stuff like that.
03:46:03.000 And that's how you know.
03:46:05.000 Like yeah, I'm legitimately independent.
03:46:07.000 I legitimately have no one that I'm afraid of offending.
03:46:11.000 I just go out here and do my thing.
03:46:15.000 And I think there's just an immense value.
03:46:17.000 Also, I have ideas.
03:46:19.000 At the end of the day, I'm also... I'm just glazing myself.
03:46:22.000 This is just so... This is so offensive, the way I'm just totally breaking my arm, patting myself on the back here.
03:46:32.000 But I'm gonna be a cheerleader for me today.
03:46:34.000 I'll be a little bit of a cheerleader today.
03:46:37.000 BlackPill sent $88.
03:46:39.000 You said to Alex that you would prefer highly skilled migrants like doctors.
03:46:43.000 What do you think of Spencer's take that he would prefer only the lowest IQ migrants to come in?
03:46:48.000 Because they would not displace elite whites.
03:46:50.000 He clearly favors a brown underclass rather than a brown ruling class.
03:46:54.000 Well, I'm talking about... When I say that, I mean, if you bring in... This is a country of 300 million people.
03:47:00.000 Net zero migration would be like a couple hundred thousand per year, I believe.
03:47:06.000 And so I'm talking about if you brought in like 10,000 extremely specialized people, I wouldn't be against it.
03:47:12.000 That's what I mean.
03:47:14.000 I mean you bring in extremely specialized like scientists, doctors, in a very small number.
03:47:22.000 But that's not H-1Bs.
03:47:24.000 H-1Bs is like $85,000 a year and there's other work visas.
03:47:29.000 So I'm not even talking about hundreds of thousands.
03:47:32.000 I'm not talking about millions.
03:47:34.000 There's a million foreign students.
03:47:35.000 I don't want a million college graduates.
03:47:39.000 I said to be charitable to Alex, I said, look,
03:47:42.000 If Trump meant the most highly skilled in very small quantities, maybe we wouldn't have a problem with that.
03:47:48.000 That's what I meant.
03:47:50.000 I said, but that's not even what he's saying.
03:47:52.000 I said, what he's saying is a staple green card to a two-year junior college degree, which is insane.
03:47:59.000 So I only meant to say that to show the contrast.
03:48:02.000 I said, even someone that is in favor of
03:48:05.000 Some highly skilled immigration is still so much more of a restrictionist than what Trump is proposing.
03:48:11.000 Because what Trump said is permanent residency for everyone, even junior colleges.
03:48:18.000 No one is in favor of that.
03:48:20.000 That's so out there.
03:48:23.000 And so, all I meant to do was say, hey, you know, there's room for compromise.
03:48:29.000 But that's not it.
03:48:31.000 There's room to say, okay, you want to bring in Albert Einstein and
03:48:35.000 You know, the Nazi that made the V2 rocket?
03:48:40.000 Okay.
03:48:42.000 But that's very different than bringing in anybody with a junior college degree.
03:48:47.000 Which is what Trump said.
03:48:49.000 Yeah, even the white people are cooked.
03:48:51.000 That's a sad thing.
03:48:58.000 Really?
03:48:58.000 Let's take a look at predicted.
03:48:59.000 Wow!
03:49:00.000 Look at that!
03:49:24.000 Really?
03:49:24.000 I can't look at it.
03:49:26.000 So let's see the 24-hour chart here.
03:49:29.000 Look at that!
03:49:29.000 So before, three hours ago, Biden was at 48.
03:49:33.000 He's at 35.
03:49:33.000 He went down 13% on the betting markets.
03:49:39.000 And Newsom went up!
03:49:42.000 Newsom went up from 5 to 20.
03:49:45.000 Because they think, apparently, that he'll be replaced by Gavin Newsom.
03:49:49.000 I don't think that's a totally... I don't think that's completely off-base.
03:49:54.000 That's something.
03:49:55.000 So, yes, the betting markets are clearly... That reflects public sentiment, by the way.
03:50:00.000 I don't think it's actually predictive.
03:50:02.000 Let's see what Maxim Lotz says.
03:50:04.000 If it even adjusted.
03:50:10.000 In the last day?
03:50:11.000 Yeah, look at this!
03:50:14.000 In the last four hours, Trump is up 4%, Biden's down 14%, Newsom is up 7.5%.
03:50:19.000 Just in the last... I'll zoom in here so you can see it.
03:50:23.000 In the last four... This is in just the last four hours since the debate started.
03:50:28.000 Biden down 14%.
03:50:31.000 The betting... This is the aggregate betting markets.
03:50:36.000 They give him 22.5% to win.
03:50:37.000 That's unbelievable.
03:50:43.000 Oh, it's pretty believable.
03:50:48.000 So that just goes to show this was a catastrophe.
03:50:50.000 I think it is over.
03:50:52.000 And you want to know why?
03:50:53.000 Maybe they did this to sabotage him because the convention isn't until August for the Democrats.
03:50:57.000 They want to do a virtual convention because they need their candidate before August for the Ohio ticket.
03:51:05.000 Maybe they put it so far out because they were waiting to see how he is so they could swap him at the last minute.
03:51:11.000 I would not be surprised.
03:51:13.000 Pretty wild stuff.
03:51:15.000 Bobby Johnson sent $25.
03:51:17.000 Surprised he didn't drop the VP pick.
03:51:20.000 What's your prediction on the winner?
03:51:22.000 Of what?
03:51:23.000 Of the VP race?
03:51:24.000 I don't know.
03:51:25.000 Some people are saying it's gonna be... Glenn Youngkin.
03:51:33.000 Which would be the Dark Horse.
03:51:36.000 I think Doug Burgum's probably the favorite.
03:51:40.000 But I think it's gonna be a surprise.
03:51:42.000 I wonder what it is on Predictive.
03:51:44.000 Let's take a look and see if they have a market for that.
03:51:49.000 I'm sure they have to have a market for this.
03:51:51.000 Here we go.
03:51:51.000 Yeah, so Doug Burgum's at $37.
03:51:54.000 JD Vance is at $23.
03:51:57.000 Vivek is at $14.
03:51:59.000 Scott at $10.
03:51:59.000 So yeah, it looks like Burgum is the favorite as of right now, at least in the betting markets.
03:52:08.000 White Pilgrim sent $20 for our fearless leader.
03:52:12.000 Thank you.
03:52:14.000 Sam Fitzwater sent $20.
03:52:15.000 Hey Nick, I have a social media company, mumbleit.com.
03:52:20.000 Would you be an influencer for it?
03:52:22.000 You would be verified and you can monetize on the platform.
03:52:25.000 No, I'm not gonna get into your... Look, if your thing is good, then I will be on it, but I'm not gonna be, like, joining some person's tech company and being a first guy.
03:52:36.000 Unless it's really big and has backing.
03:52:40.000 Thank you.
03:52:40.000 I feel that way about myself, too.
03:52:42.000 I go out in the world and then I come home and I'm like, man, it's so good to be with me.
03:52:48.000 It's good to be me.
03:52:48.000 Thank you, man.
03:52:49.000 Appreciate it.
03:53:00.000 Exactly.
03:53:01.000 I feel exactly the same way.
03:53:02.000 Well said.
03:53:26.000 That would be nice.
03:53:27.000 I kind of need somebody who just, like, is a no-lifer.
03:53:30.000 I need someone who just has no life who would get paid minimum wage to just kind of do anything.
03:53:36.000 Cause, uh, you know, we just have these... I need a bodyguard.
03:53:41.000 I need someone to, you know, type the shit up or whatever it is.
03:53:45.000 So, yeah, that would be cool.
03:53:47.000 But, uh, I don't know.
03:53:48.000 An Albanian.
03:53:49.000 Albanians are pretty solid.
03:53:50.000 I met a lot of them in New York.
03:53:51.000 That's a duplicate.
03:53:57.000 Terry Davis sent $10.
03:53:58.000 That literally looks like fat Hitler and it clearly bothers him.
03:54:03.000 Uh, well, yeah, because their whole thing is like, oh, we're vitalists and... Oh, yeah, we're like, uh...
03:54:09.000 We're all about bodybuilding and, you know, we're a group of Nazi bodybuilders are taking out the electrical grid.
03:54:16.000 And they're all like fat Jews and nigs.
03:54:18.000 It's like, is one of them white?
03:54:20.000 Is one of them physically fit?
03:54:22.000 Because I think they're all like Jews and nigs, basically.
03:54:24.000 That's your vitalist.
03:54:26.000 Johnny Rebel sent $10.
03:54:27.000 I'm outside the studio where the debate is at protesting the Israeli influence in our democracy and Israel's genocide.
03:54:34.000 America first.
03:54:36.000 Epic protest.
03:54:37.000 Love it.
03:54:38.000 Grumio sent $10.
03:54:40.000 We love Nick.
03:54:41.000 Hey, I love you too, man.
03:54:44.000 Father Groyper sent $10.
03:54:46.000 I heard from a reliable source that Biden took Brain Force Plus before the debate.
03:54:50.000 I don't think it worked very well.
03:54:52.000 Alex Jones on suicide watch.
03:54:53.000 Hey, no, you cannot put this on Brain Force.
03:54:57.000 He did not take Brain... Brain Force is a 360 win.
03:55:01.000 Brain Force supports the show, and it's a 360 win.
03:55:04.000 So I think you're totally wrong on that.
03:55:07.000 W Brain Force.
03:55:09.000 I'm not being paid to say this, by the way.
03:55:11.000 I just support... I just support the network, okay?
03:55:13.000 I support the man.
03:55:15.000 But, yeah, no, you can't put that on Tumeric.
03:55:18.000 This is on Biden.
03:55:19.000 Nice.
03:55:20.000 Go to reference.
03:55:30.000 That is true.
03:55:30.000 It was through Louis Brandeis.
03:55:31.000 Louis Brandeis was the head of the World Zionist Organization.
03:55:35.000 He was a close personal friend of President Woodrow Wilson.
03:55:57.000 Wilson tapped him to become the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
03:56:01.000 He had to formally retire his role as head of the World Zionist Organization, but he retained it.
03:56:09.000 And he was running the Supreme Court like it was the World Zionist Organization.
03:56:14.000 And then, the British basically fought the war to a stalemate in World War I. They needed the United States to come in and break the stalemate, but they wouldn't do it.
03:56:22.000 So, the Jews in England and the Jews in America made a deal.
03:56:26.000 Where if the British Foreign Minister, Lord Balfour, wrote a letter to Rothschild expressing that there should be a Jewish state in Palestine, then Louis Brandeis would convince Woodrow Wilson to bring America into the war.
03:56:42.000 That was the deal.
03:56:44.000 So the Jews in England said, hey, we can get America to come in, but you gotta give us Israel.
03:56:50.000 And so it was.
03:56:52.000 That the British Foreign Ministry, even though Palestine was under the control of the Ottoman Empire at the time, said that there is a, what was the word they used?
03:57:01.000 I forget the exact wording, but they said that there should be a Jewish state in Palestine.
03:57:06.000 In exchange, the Jews picked up the phone and called their, because they're everywhere, everywhere and nowhere, they called Brandeis and said, alright, pull the trigger, and they say that Brandeis convinced Wilson to bring us into the war.
03:57:20.000 And then, after the Sykes-Picot Agreement,
03:57:22.000 Secret agreement between Britain and France they carved up the Middle East between them and Britain controlled Palestine and Britain allowed the Jews to move into Palestine in an unlimited way and then they stopped them and then the Jews started committing acts of terrorism and Then that culminated in 1948 so
03:57:43.000 I'm simplifying the rest, but... But yeah, I mean, that is one of the reasons why the United States went to war.
03:57:50.000 And it does show their influence.
03:57:52.000 And it shows how they influence.
03:57:53.000 Hey, thanks a lot, man.
03:57:54.000 Glad you had a good time.
03:57:57.000 Thank you.
03:57:58.000 I appreciate it.
03:58:10.000 John Dave Irving sent $109, Nick, I'm starting a t-shirt company, doing big thangs LLC, can you put the shirts on cozy and model?
03:58:19.000 I know it's a big ask but it would mean a lot.
03:58:22.000 I already have Keemstar on board.
03:58:24.000 With love, JDI
03:58:26.000 Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.
03:58:28.000 Thanks for the big super chat.
03:58:29.000 I sort of remember the last time somebody asked people to model on DLive, it was Victor Sharpe.
03:58:36.000 Remember that?
03:58:37.000 Victor Sharpe was telling it, he was saying to me and my friend, he was saying, oh you guys should wear girls clothes and dance and do a TikTok and he turned out to be a gay pedophile and he funds all my enemies.
03:58:48.000 Pretty crazy how that works.
03:58:50.000 But I don't know.
03:58:51.000 Is this the real John Dave Irving or is this some sort of saboteur?
03:58:55.000 I don't know.
03:58:56.000 But I appreciate it.
03:58:58.000 I don't know.
03:58:59.000 Maybe I'll do the shirt.
03:59:00.000 If the shirt's cool, I'll do it.
03:59:05.000 You gotta buy me a coffee.
03:59:11.000 Yeah, that was awesome!
03:59:13.000 Follow that channel, by the way.
03:59:14.000 That's an official channel.
03:59:16.000 Follow FuentesUpdates on Twitter.
03:59:18.000 That is one of our official channels.
03:59:21.000 They gotta change the profile picture.
03:59:23.000 The profile picture, I look fat and oily.
03:59:25.000 Can we change that, please?
03:59:26.000 Can we change that to an actually good picture and not this fat, oily picture of my face, please?
03:59:32.000 Thank you.
03:59:36.000 I think that's all of them.
03:59:39.000 Let's just check in on some of the other streamers, then I'm gonna get out of here.
03:59:42.000 I'm just curious.
03:59:44.000 I just want to see what everybody else is saying.
03:59:49.000 About the debate.
03:59:51.000 I bet it's gonna be super high IQ.
03:59:54.000 Four years ago, when you debated him, you must... I mean, that's certainly true, is it not?
04:00:01.000 Anderson, the point has to be performance in terms of what a president does.
04:00:07.000 Anderson, do it like we rehearsed.
04:00:09.000 These are dumb people.
04:00:11.000 I feel bad for her.
04:00:13.000 I don't feel bad for her.
04:00:14.000 It's indefensible.
04:00:16.000 His record is indefensible.
04:00:17.000 What he did tonight is indefensible.
04:00:19.000 She's in a horrible place.
04:00:21.000 She's in a worse position than under Willie Brown.
04:00:23.000 Exactly.
04:00:24.000 That's... The other guy on the debate stage...
04:00:31.000 I wanna watch this!
04:00:32.000 What's this?
04:00:33.000 Where is that?
04:00:35.000 We gotta watch this Kamala Harris clip and react to it.
04:00:42.000 Look at this.
04:00:43.000 Alvin and the Chipmunks.
04:00:45.000 ALVIN!
04:00:47.000 What's the guy's name in the movie?
04:00:49.000 What's David Cross' character?
04:00:50.000 Look at this guy.
04:00:51.000 Look at this chester.
04:00:58.000 Dude, this outfit is so cooked.
04:01:00.000 This is like their idea of counterculture.
04:01:02.000 Is this like ironic, patriotard shit?
04:01:04.000 It's so bad.
04:01:06.000 It's TP action, not TP... I'm not hating just to hate.
04:01:09.000 I'm just saying, like, we need to move past being, like, tacky.
04:01:13.000 Like, you are tacky, but you're pretending that you're doing it ironically, but actually it just looks like shit anyway.
04:01:19.000 USA, that's... This whole, like, this whole getup is just painful and...
04:01:24.000 I mean, I'm being catty.
04:01:25.000 I'm being catty.
04:01:26.000 It's true.
04:01:26.000 It's true.
04:01:26.000 No!
04:01:26.000 No!
04:01:27.000 Don't do it!
04:01:27.000 No, don't!
04:01:27.000 Stop!
04:01:44.000 We deserve all of you in the audience right now that have been kicked and spit on, said that Joe Biden is fully mentally acute.
04:01:51.000 It's a cheap fake.
04:01:52.000 By the way, we have the Chuck Todd clip that says all the things that the right wing were saying was correct.
04:01:55.000 Can we get that Chuck Todd clip?
04:01:57.000 You deserve tonight.
04:01:58.000 You deserve just to be able to say one for the good guys, and then we get back to work.
04:02:02.000 I just want to say that because it has been very difficult.
04:02:05.000 I got to sign a book right here for Brian, who just became a member.
04:02:09.000 Members.CharlieKirk.com.

04:02:48.000 Let's see.
04:02:48.000 People.
04:02:49.000 Yes, there was a slow start.
04:02:50.000 Does that matter?
04:02:51.000 Okay, is that a three-second clip?
04:02:53.000 What is the matter with you?
04:02:55.000 Somebody really thought it was a good idea to clip a three-second clip.
04:02:59.000 Okay.
04:03:02.000 Let's see.
04:03:04.000 Can we get the full thing?
04:03:05.000 Listen, first of all, what we saw tonight is
04:03:10.000 The president making a very clear contrast with Donald Trump on all of the issues that matter to the American people.
04:03:17.000 Okay.
04:03:20.000 Buffering.
04:03:25.000 N-word.
04:03:27.000 N-word.
04:03:28.000 N-word.
04:03:30.000 I'm not calling her that.
04:03:31.000 I'm expressing frustration because this is buffering.
04:03:35.000 Let's see.
04:03:38.000 Where can I get this clip?
04:03:39.000 Oh, Daily Wire's live.
04:03:40.000 Oh, this guy.
04:03:41.000 See, he's actually a sharp dresser.
04:03:42.000 I don't know what this key thing is.
04:03:44.000 It looks stupid.
04:03:45.000 But he's actually a sharp dresser.
04:04:00.000 And Jeremy boring came from like California or whatever.
04:04:03.000 He's like, uh, he's in the entertainment deal And so Jeremy boring this is actually as much as I hate to say it I kind of hate their whole like into woods aesthetic fake cheesy like folksy thing
04:04:18.000 By wearing like a nice suit like this, looking rich, this is what we need.
04:04:22.000 The lesson is, fine, we're not going to... I don't want to be full of piss and vinegar.
04:04:25.000 Let that happen.
04:04:26.000 Right.
04:04:26.000 And for that reason, above all others, although there are others, we're so grateful to our Daily Wire Plus members.
04:04:36.000 It's crazy how like every stream I go to it's just like it's a fucking commercial.
04:04:42.000 You go to this show and I like forget to plug my stuff.
04:04:45.000 You go to these streams and you cannot go five seconds without blahblahblah.com.
04:04:50.000 I'm signing a book to one of our supporters, our daily wire supporters.
04:04:53.000 Go to VivaBarnes.com.
04:04:55.000 It's like...
04:04:56.000 Who?
04:04:56.000 You had a couple of answers that were probably as good as Trump's worst answers.
04:05:17.000 Right.
04:05:18.000 Things that were saying, Trump did fine.
04:05:20.000 Trump had some answers that were really good, especially early.
04:05:23.000 In the middle, Trump was kind of not doing as well.
04:05:26.000 And in that same section, Biden was doing his best.
04:05:30.000 Yeah, I mean, I think that the one area where Biden did his best is where Trump got defensive about his January 6th activity.
04:05:38.000 And that really had less to do with Biden doing amazingly well and more to do with Trump shooting himself in the foot on that sort of stuff.
04:05:43.000 But I thought Biden did OK there.
04:05:48.000 What about Israel?
04:05:50.000 What about Israel?
04:05:54.000 Why did he talk about Israel?
04:05:56.000 Why didn't Trump talk about Israel more?
04:05:59.000 Why didn't Trump talk about Israel more?
04:06:03.000 Israel's under attack.
04:06:04.000 It's the worst attack since the Holocaust.
04:06:06.000 And Trump didn't talk about Israel at all.
04:06:10.000 I mean, what's going on?
04:06:11.000 And why isn't there a war with Iran tomorrow?
04:06:15.000 Iran has to be eradicated.
04:06:17.000 The terrorists!
04:06:18.000 The terrorists!
04:06:19.000 And Joe Biden sent them billions of dollars, and the terrorists!
04:06:23.000 Who could vote for- I mean, who could vote for this guy?
04:06:25.000 He's like a Palestinian.
04:06:27.000 Most honest.
04:06:28.000 Like he actually says what he thinks.
04:06:30.000 He's literally holding one of his razors.
04:06:31.000 He is literally holding one of his razors that he sells.
04:06:34.000 You're on his show and he's like holding the razor in his hand.
04:06:39.000 Do you know I sell razors?
04:06:58.000 Talk about product placement.
04:07:00.000 Hey, buy my razor.
04:07:02.000 That's lit!
04:07:03.000 Like, what?
04:07:05.000 This is crazy.
04:07:06.000 Most honest.
04:07:07.000 Like, he actually says what he thinks.
04:07:08.000 I only have a five blade razor that he sells.
04:07:10.000 That's Jeremy's razors.
04:07:14.000 That's Jeremy Boring, if you don't know.
04:07:21.000 So they have a razor company.
04:07:23.000 Of course, black guy.
04:07:24.000 You know, why not?
04:07:25.000 Hey, by the way, we're not racist.
04:07:28.000 We're not racist.
04:07:28.000 Look at my nig buying my razors.
04:07:30.000 And he loves Israel.
04:07:31.000 They keep him in a cloud of Kool-Aid gas.
04:07:36.000 Look at this guy.
04:07:36.000 This guy's another one.
04:07:37.000 This guy's a dark wizard.
04:07:39.000 Shapiro's a goblin.
04:07:40.000 He's a dark wizard.
04:07:41.000 He's like the... He's the evil wizard Lord of the Rings.
04:07:44.000 Every now and again, he breaks free.
04:07:46.000 You know, because sometimes he says the stuff that comes out of his mouth, especially about race, is such nonsense.
04:07:50.000 And then the other day when that synagogue was attacked... This guy refuses to debate me, by the way.
04:07:55.000 Andrew Klavan constantly attacks me.
04:07:57.000 He was right on point.
04:08:16.000 I know Van, I'm friends with Van.
04:08:18.000 He and I disagree about everything.
04:08:19.000 I think he's misguided on some things.
04:08:21.000 I'm sure he thinks the same about me.
04:08:22.000 He's an actual good person.
04:08:25.000 You can see it.
04:08:28.000 He's having the same reaction on an emotional level that I am.
04:08:31.000 Obviously, listen, I want Trump to win.
04:08:33.000 But the longer we talk about this, the more I actually just feel really sad for the country.
04:08:39.000 Like, actually sad.
04:08:40.000 And a little sad for Joe Biden as a human.
04:08:43.000 As Matt was saying, I don't like him.
04:08:44.000 I think he's a corrupt, bad guy who believes bad things and does bad things.
04:08:48.000 He's very bad.
04:08:50.000 He's very bad.
04:08:52.000 He just got humiliated in front of 80 million people.
04:08:55.000 Which also means America got humiliated in front of a billion people.
04:08:58.000 Yeah, that's right.
04:08:59.000 That's right.
04:09:00.000 He's a nasty fellow.
04:09:01.000 I won't lose sleep over it.
04:09:02.000 But I do agree it's sad for the country.
04:09:04.000 Michael Knoll is such a fruit, dude.
04:09:06.000 I do not like Michael Knoll.
04:09:08.000 I agree with you.
04:09:09.000 Listen, don't get me started on Jimmy Carter.
04:09:11.000 Everybody's just, you know, crying crocodile tears over, but yeah.
04:09:15.000 He might be the nominee.
04:09:17.000 No, it's too mean to tweet.
04:09:18.000 No, you totally should have.
04:09:19.000 It was so good.
04:09:20.000 It was so good.
04:09:21.000 Okay, I'm just gonna say what he texted me.
04:09:22.000 So anyway, and humiliate him.
04:09:24.000 So he texted me a picture of Jimmy Carter at age 100.
04:09:28.000 He said, put me in the game, coach.
04:09:35.000 And they laughed and laughed.
04:09:41.000 In fairness, I don't want to take credit.
04:09:43.000 It was sent to me by a friend.
04:09:47.000 I won't name them in case they ever want to show their face in public again.
04:09:51.000 Were the polls similar going into the 2020 election?
04:09:54.000 If not, how were they different?
04:09:55.000 It seems like I remember Trump leading the polls.
04:09:57.000 No, Trump never led in the polls in 2020.
04:09:59.000 Right.
04:10:00.000 No, wire to wire.
04:10:00.000 Biden was ahead in 2020.
04:10:02.000 That was why, yeah.
04:10:03.000 And he certainly never, I mean, right now he has a pretty even shot of winning the popular vote, like going into the election.
04:10:09.000 If he's within two points of winning the popular vote, he wins the election because it means he's going to outperform in the swing states.
04:10:16.000 How do you think the moderators have done?
04:10:18.000 Have they been pretty strict with the microphone?
04:10:20.000 I thought they were great.
04:10:21.000 I thought it was amazing.
04:10:22.000 I've never seen moderators like that.
04:10:24.000 I believe that moderators should be eliminated from debates.
04:10:27.000 I don't understand why the press should set the terms of the conversation.
04:10:32.000 I don't understand why their questions should govern the conversation.
04:10:35.000 These are the guys who want to run the country.
04:10:36.000 It was the first.
04:10:58.000 Presidential debate.
04:10:59.000 I'm trying to remember the earliest ones that I saw in my life.
04:11:03.000 I think this was the most well-moderated presidential debate that I've seen in my life.
04:11:07.000 They did very well.
04:11:08.000 And again, if their question wasn't answered, they didn't feel the necessity to, like, hector the candidate.
04:11:13.000 They would just come back in and they would say, the original question was X. You have 47 seconds.
04:11:18.000 And they knew the answer or they don't.
04:11:20.000 They weren't trying to make themselves the star of the show.
04:11:22.000 But I think that they did well given the parameters of the debate, but I agree with you that
04:11:29.000 Oh, he's not looking good.
04:11:30.000 He's looking kind of fat.
04:11:31.000 What's going on?
04:11:32.000 And these rules work really well for Trump, so that's great.
04:11:35.000 What is going on?
04:11:35.000 His complexion's bad.
04:11:37.000 He's looking a little fat.
04:11:38.000 What's going on?
04:11:39.000 Are you okay, Matt?
04:11:41.000 He's tortured at night because he sold his soul to the Jews.
04:11:44.000 That's why.
04:11:46.000 He's just tortured.
04:11:47.000 He lies awake at night.
04:11:49.000 He said, I've sold my soul.
04:11:51.000 But, you know, objectively speaking... And he's not looking hot.
04:11:56.000 ...presidential debate, giving someone two minutes to answer a question about some really dense, important world issue is ridiculous.
04:12:05.000 One minute to give a response is absurd.
04:12:07.000 Look at his tiny hands.
04:12:09.000 That's how you know he's low-T.
04:12:10.000 He's got these big hands.
04:12:13.000 ...presidential debates are done, and doing it that way, this was the best version of that.
04:12:18.000 And in fairness, I mean, I go back to her... Michael Knowles has big hands.
04:12:21.000 This guy has tiny hands.
04:12:24.000 I have big hands.
04:12:25.000 That's how you know I'm high tea.
04:12:26.000 Because I have huge hands.
04:12:30.000 There is a point at which the president represents the people.
04:12:40.000 He's the representative of one of the three branches, the spirited part of government.
04:12:44.000 And so, you know, the fact that Trump speaks publicly at a fifth grade level, and he's spoken on TV at higher levels in the past, but he speaks at a fifth grade level for the public because he wants to reach as many people as he can.
04:12:56.000 I actually don't mind the two minutes.
04:12:58.000 You know, if I won a university lecture on the politics of Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan
04:13:29.000 Well, I don't think, I've said for a while, no one should be president who can't go through an entire episode of The Joe Rogan Show as the guest.
04:13:37.000 You just have to go sit there for three hours and be asked about the weirdest crap and
04:13:43.000 Aliens and DMT.
04:13:45.000 Yeah, so that I actually know anything about you or what you actually think.
04:13:48.000 You know, everybody says this guy talks gay.
04:13:50.000 I actually like the way he talks.
04:13:51.000 I kind of like, there's something very genteel and high status about being a little bit flamboyant.
04:14:01.000 You know, being a little bit effete.
04:14:03.000 So I don't know.
04:14:06.000 I think you should have to talk about what you would do.
04:14:09.000 You know, like, Trump skates on these things.
04:14:11.000 You know, the Ukraine war would be over in 10 minutes.
04:14:14.000 But what would he do?
04:14:16.000 To be fair, I think that matters so much less in this election than any election in my lifetime.
04:14:21.000 And I'm, you know, I am captain, like, I want substance.
04:14:24.000 Give me more substance.
04:14:25.000 Read a book, right?
04:14:26.000 Like, this is my entire brand.
04:14:27.000 Right.
04:14:28.000 Because we already have seen them be president.
04:14:30.000 There's almost nothing to say.
04:14:32.000 We've seen what Trump did.
04:14:33.000 We've seen what Biden does.
04:14:34.000 Biden sucks at it and he's senile.
04:14:37.000 That's the election.
04:14:38.000 Gang, I just saved you 90 minutes.
04:14:39.000 Well, fellas, raise your leftist tears, hot or cold tumblers, as we play this clip from CNN.
04:14:48.000 Look at her bald head, dude.
04:14:49.000 Why are they asking the acolyte?
04:14:51.000 Why are they asking the acolyte what her opinion is on this?
04:14:54.000 Shouldn't she be worried about, like,
04:15:11.000 The universal reaction was somewhere approaching panic.
04:15:16.000 The people who were texting with me were very concerned about President Biden seeming extremely feeble, seeming extremely weak.
04:15:29.000 Wow.
04:15:29.000 Wow.
04:15:30.000 You know what she was doing right there?
04:15:32.000 She was dropping.
04:15:35.000 Dude, conservative media is just like QVC.
04:15:58.000 It's literally QVC.
04:15:59.000 It's like, here's her commentary and yeah, you know, text Ben.
04:16:05.000 Dude, this stuff is so AIDS.
04:16:09.000 You know, I know that's what makes money.
04:16:10.000 I know that this makes them a boatload of money.
04:16:15.000 But there's such a value in just not doing it.
04:16:20.000 Text n-word to 42069.
04:16:24.000 You know, like, no, please no.
04:16:27.000 I will never, I will never do this.
04:16:29.000 I might have to if I ever, like, run for office or whatever, but the lower third, the text this, the, you know.
04:16:35.000 The quality of birth.
04:16:36.000 I hate that stuff so much.
04:16:38.000 She was containing- She's just having bacon now in Animal House.
04:16:40.000 Everything's on fire behind her.
04:16:42.000 Pay no attention!
04:16:43.000 Everything is totally fine!
04:16:45.000 No, all she's, all she's thinking is,
04:16:48.000 I'm going to be the first woman, the first female president of the United States.
04:16:51.000 She's now doing the Monty Python parrot sketch.
04:16:54.000 That parrot is not dead.
04:16:55.000 Why does he shake his cup like that?
04:16:59.000 She's now doing the Monty Python parrot sketch.
04:17:01.000 What was that?
04:17:02.000 Parrot is not dead.
04:17:04.000 The parrot is very much alive.
04:17:08.000 You know, we're laughing about it because that's funny.
04:17:10.000 So you don't cry?
04:17:11.000 So you don't cry.
04:17:13.000 The fact that she would even go that far, we're laughing because she's so downplaying it.
04:17:17.000 The fact that the Vice President of the United States would admit on television to the biggest lib sycophant Vanderbilt anchor of CNN to say, yeah, you know, you got Anderson Cooper saying, that was horrible.
04:17:30.000 And she goes, you know, yeah.
04:17:32.000 Anderson Cooper in that clip is one of the funniest things I've seen.
04:17:35.000 That's so funny.
04:17:35.000 He's like, you can't honestly, but can you?
04:17:38.000 But you can't really.
04:17:39.000 Maybe you can.
04:17:40.000 Because if he could, he would, you know?
04:17:42.000 Can you honestly say he's a liar?
04:17:48.000 Shapiro's just like painfully unfunny, man.
04:17:51.000 He tries, but it's rough.
04:17:54.000 Alright, I'm gonna take a look at a couple of these other ones and then I'm gonna get out of here.
04:17:58.000 Where's Rumble?
04:17:59.000 Here it is.
04:18:03.000 I don't even know what Badlands is.
04:18:15.000 They've been around for a minute, though.
04:18:18.000 It was, when we had the Bush-Clinton, you know, divide.
04:18:22.000 Heads I win, tails you lose.
04:18:24.000 It's never going to go back that way again, ever.
04:18:27.000 They don't understand that.
04:18:28.000 That's right.
04:18:28.000 Their system's over.
04:18:30.000 So, what comes next?
04:18:32.000 I still think they're going to be very desperate to try to take control of the narrative of the conversation, and they could do that through, I think, deliberate attempts to try to provoke people to be angry, to be violent.
04:18:43.000 I think they're going to keep pushing.
04:18:44.000 I think they're going to keep pressuring, and they're going to try to get the American people to overreact or to act violently.
04:18:52.000 I think there's larger possibilities of things like Operation Gladio kind of playing up.
04:18:57.000 As well as this administration, the Biden administration, ratcheting up tensions all over the world, especially when it comes to a lot of these foreign conflicts that are unfolding in Ukraine, potentially soon also in Lebanon.
04:19:09.000 We just got very troubling news from the U.S.
04:19:11.000 State Department that's trying to get American citizens out of Lebanon.
04:19:14.000 Just a couple hours ago, so that's right.
04:19:16.000 Look, you're right.
04:19:17.000 The answer when Terrence are in trouble is zero.
04:19:20.000 Salute.
04:19:20.000 They says they take you to war.
04:19:21.000 Let's speak to that.
04:19:22.000 So instead of as the wolf said, I said this five times.
04:19:25.000 We can't start celebrating yet because the enemy is going to come down with both feet.
04:19:29.000 Luke Rodowski.
04:19:31.000 Roger Stone.
04:19:32.000 What is the deep state do now?
04:19:35.000 Assassination or world war?
04:19:37.000 Probably in the other order.
04:19:38.000 So they have the demented idea that if we go to war that perhaps the in party, that they will rally around Biden.
04:19:46.000 I think Biden's cooked.
04:19:48.000 I think now what happens backstage here is Barack Obama goes to him.
04:19:53.000 He has a letter co-signed by a majority of the cabinet members.
04:19:56.000 He's got Kamala Harris.
04:19:58.000 All right.
04:19:58.000 Okay.
04:19:59.000 I think I'm ready to go.
04:20:01.000 All right.
04:20:02.000 I think I'm ready to go.
04:20:05.000 Hang on, someone's tagging me.
04:20:06.000 This better be good.
04:20:09.000 Oh, it's this clip.
04:20:10.000 OK, we'll watch this clip and then I'm going to get out of here.
04:20:13.000 Let's see what we got.
04:20:14.000 First of all, what we saw tonight is the president making a very clear contrast with Donald Trump on all of the issues that matter to the American people.
04:20:24.000 Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a strong finish.
04:20:26.000 And what became very clear through the course of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting on behalf of the American people on substance, on policy, on performance.
04:20:38.000 Joe Biden is extraordinarily strong, and that cannot be debated.
04:20:42.000 But I'm sorry, on substance and policy and performance tonight, I mean, the President's performance tonight clearly was disappointing for his supporters.
04:20:50.000 CNN is reporting Democratic lawmakers watching the debate were worried about the President's performance.
04:20:57.000 One said it was a disaster, another called it a train wreck.
04:21:01.000 Those are Democrats especially worried that Biden did not punch back on Trump's lies.
04:21:09.000 Style.
04:21:09.000 Showing up alive is style?
04:21:10.000 Yeah, maybe that's not your style.
04:21:12.000 Yeah, uh, alive.
04:21:13.000 Alive people.
04:21:24.000 I know, yeah.
04:21:25.000 It's really a matter of preference, I guess.
04:21:26.000 Who is the President of the United States has to be about substance.
04:21:30.000 And the contrast is clear.
04:21:32.000 Look at what happened during the course of the debate.
04:21:34.000 Donald Trump lied over and over and over again, as he is wont to do.
04:21:40.000 He would not disavow what happened on January 6th.
04:21:44.000 He would not give a clear answer on whether he would stand by the election results this November.
04:21:49.000 Or Hitler.
04:21:49.000 Say what you will about Kamala, she is hot.
04:22:20.000 She does have like a serious like milf energy.
04:22:24.000 I know this is a very Catholic thing to say but she does have this like crazy milf
04:22:30.000 Energy, I love how devious she is.
04:22:33.000 I kind of like it.
04:22:34.000 I like and I'm Hillary Clinton's kind of growing on me, too I'm not in like a sexual way, but like Now that Hillary Clinton is disempowered.
04:22:42.000 She's just kind of funny.
04:22:43.000 She's just like this funny retard who shows up places and they treat her like she's God they treat her like she's a
04:22:51.000 I don't even know, like, she's Mon Mothra.
04:22:54.000 Like, it's a Star Wars reference.
04:22:56.000 But, you know, like, she was at the Tony Awards, and she shows up in, like, this flowing dress, and everybody gets up, and they're like, the Senator Amidala, you know, Queen Amidala.
04:23:09.000 And it's like, she fucking lost.
04:23:11.000 She was the president's wife, and then she killed a bunch of people, and then she lost.
04:23:18.000 So, you know, but she shows up these it's just kind of funny to me how she just shows up and and I kind of like it.
04:23:24.000 It's like you can't get her down.
04:23:26.000 She suffered the most like brutal humiliating defeat.
04:23:29.000 Imagine you're that girl.
04:23:31.000 She really thought she was going to be the girl president.
04:23:33.000 She's like the perfect archetype of like the girl scout that got every badges.
04:23:38.000 She was the president of student council, she tried out for the football team to make a point, and she was headed for the pres- they were gonna coronate her as the president, and she got beat by a rapist.
04:23:50.000 She got beat!
04:23:52.000 Well, nah, that's what they say, you know, ostensibly.
04:23:56.000 She got beat by a molester TV guy who got up there and was like, yeah, I watch the shows.
04:24:03.000 I know what's going on.
04:24:03.000 I think I can handle it.
04:24:05.000 I've been around the block a few times.
04:24:07.000 Look, I'm really rich and I'm gonna fix the government.
04:24:12.000 This country sucks.
04:24:13.000 I'm gonna make it great again, I think.
04:24:16.000 And right before the election, he gets caught on tape saying,
04:24:20.000 You just grab them by the pussy.
04:24:22.000 And when you're famous, they let you touch them.
04:24:26.000 And gee, we beat the shit out of everyone.
04:24:31.000 It's the greatest thing ever so many people forget and that's the greatest thing ever Like not only did she lose it'd be one thing if she lost to some like gay nerd like DeSantis Where it's like, well, you know America decided it was time for a change.
04:24:45.000 They wanted a pro-business president It's like no she got beat by the TV celebrity rapist the the TV racist
04:24:54.000 Who ran on deporting all illegals and banning Muslims.
04:25:00.000 We're going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
04:25:02.000 And then we're going to beat China because I win all the time.
04:25:06.000 I'm a winner and I win all the time.
04:25:09.000 And she lost.
04:25:10.000 And now she just goes places like, you know what, good for you.
04:25:14.000 Good for you, because if that was me, I'd just kill myself.
04:25:17.000 She just shows up everywhere and you can't get her down.
04:25:20.000 I kind of love that about her.
04:25:22.000 I kind of love that she's got that energy, even though she's a horrible human being and totally wicked.
04:25:28.000 There is something somewhat admirable about that.
04:25:38.000 But um okay all right I think that's it and uh on that note you know Kamala's pretty cute too.
04:25:46.000 And just three years ago we commemorated the two-year anniversary of Dobbs.
04:25:51.000 So I think let me see we might have a few more super chats then I'm gonna go let me just take a look real quick no yeah no people never super chat on these I think because they think I'm not gonna read them.
