After the Vice Presidential Debates, the White House announces that there will be no second debate, and that it will be a virtual debate, which means that the President and Vice President will participate remotely from a third location. Meanwhile, the FBI discovers a plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.
00:00:11.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Thursday.
00:00:16.000And we've got a lot to talk about, lots to get into this evening.
00:00:20.000Big news after our vice presidential debate last night, which I covered and which was boring.
00:00:28.000And tonight, our main story is actually about the second presidential debate, which appears to be, as for right now, canceled.
00:00:37.000And if you didn't see already, it was all over social media and all over the news.
00:00:42.000There was an announcement made by the Presidential Debate Commission this morning that said that the second presidential debate on October 15th would be a virtual debate.
00:00:53.000And what that means is that the president and Joe Biden would both participate remotely from separate locations.
00:01:01.000And presumably, the moderator would be in a third separate location.
00:01:05.000And it would be like a Zoom call, basically.
00:01:08.000And it was just minutes after this announcement was made this morning, which was conspicuously made the following morning after the vice presidential debate, I should add.
00:01:19.000It was minutes after that announcement that the president said that he would not participate if it was a virtual debate.
00:01:41.000We'll talk about that and the effects that this will have, big effects that this will have on the election.
00:01:46.000We'll also talk tonight about a plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.
00:01:57.000And I don't know if you guys saw this today, but it was all over the media that the FBI uncovered a plot by anarchists and far right militias to kidnap the governor of Michigan and to force a violent insurrection against the government.
00:02:15.000Needless to say, they were not successful.
00:02:18.000And I believe there are six of them, and they're now all facing some pretty serious charges.
00:02:23.000But I saw that announcement today, and I thought, you know, that is just really convenient timing that the feds, who we know are dead set against the president and have been sabotaging him since before he even got elected, since 2015 when he announced he was running, magically, just three weeks before the election, they discover a massive right wing plot.
00:02:49.000To overthrow the government in the swing state of Michigan.
00:02:53.000Well, that is just the perfect coincidence.
00:03:03.000I know it's not as big as the debate last night, but it's still going to be a good show.
00:03:09.000And I do want to talk a little bit about the debate last night, just briefly, because we did spend time, obviously, talking about the debate after the debate last night.
00:03:21.000At around midnight or 12 30 last night with my friend Harrison, and we talked a little about the debate and about America First in general.
00:03:31.000So I don't want to spend too much time, but I do just want to give a little bit of a recap in case you missed it.
00:03:36.000Honestly, it was kind of a boring debate.
00:03:38.000And I said last night that the experience was qualitatively different than the presidential debate, in that, in the presidential debate, obviously the president played it very aggressively, it was very shocking, it was outrageous.0.79
00:03:53.000But I felt like it was really only engaging for the first 25 to 30 minutes when everything was off the rails and it was kind of a shitshow, right?
00:04:05.000But the vice presidential debate was more substantive in that we could hear an actual dialogue, two people talking, and you could follow the conversation.
00:04:15.000There was actually sort of a coherent conversation.0.56
00:04:19.000But I will tell you the more that I think about the debate last night, You know, having some time to reflect on it since last night, I have to say that it kind of sucked.
00:05:06.000That was the victory conditions for him last night.
00:05:09.000But watching that debate, it really does remind you that without Trump and without the MAGA movement, politics is something that we are not a part of.
00:05:20.000That was a debate last night between a very conventional Republican who happened to be defending the Trump administration.
00:05:27.000And a very conventional liberal Democrat.
00:05:30.000And, you know, I'm thinking particularly about the part about the economy.
00:05:34.000And once again, I heard the usual mainstream conservatism sort of spilling out of Mike Pence about the free market and tax cuts.
00:05:44.000And in particular, we have rolled back regulations, we have unleashed American energy.
00:05:51.000And I thought about those two phrases in particular.
00:05:53.000It kind of caught my attention last night, but it just makes me angrier and angrier the more that I think about it.
00:06:00.000And the reason why is because those two phrases are so calculated and so deliberate.
00:06:08.000We didn't deregulate, we didn't cut regulations, because often the attack from the left is that the right is against regulations and, like, that's a bad thing.
00:06:19.000We rolled them back, roll the back regulations.
00:06:27.000Probably some consultant, probably some, you know, expert, campaign expert.
00:06:34.000From the RNC or the usual circuit of campaign experts and people rolled back regulations, unleashed American energy.
00:06:44.000And like I said, it was polished, it was calculated, very deliberate.
00:06:49.000And it was, I think that in this particular situation, it was actually a good thing because the role of the vice president, in particular Mike Pence, his role in the Trump campaign or on the Trump ticket is to reassure American voters and people that are not.
00:07:07.000Comfortable with the way that Trump acts, that he is very aggressive and unconventional.
00:07:14.000He is there to reassure them that everything is going smoothly.
00:07:37.000You got to keep in mind, he, like literally every other Republican, literally every other Republican in government, is not somebody that is truly representative of us.
00:08:20.000Just in his regular talking, in his regular delivery, talking about the issues, he's talking about it in a way that is freewheeling and off the cuff.
00:08:31.000And you could tell it doesn't have that polish, but I don't think that that's necessarily a bad thing.
00:08:36.000I think that just goes to show that he's authentic, he's real, he is sort of one of us in that sense.
00:08:42.000So, though, again, I'm not trashing Pence's performance, I'm not even trashing Pence.
00:08:48.000I'm just saying keep in mind that what we saw.
00:08:50.000Is kind of a glimpse into the past and also a glimpse into the future.
00:08:56.000It's fake, it's rehearsed, and we don't have a seat at the table.0.70
00:09:00.000It's cutting taxes, rolling back regulations, unleashing American energy compared to Trump, who says, We're going to build a giant wall between America and Mexico, and it's getting 10 feet higher, and Mexico's paying for it, and we're going to send these people back to shithole countries.
00:09:19.000You know, it's just a totally different.
00:09:21.000I saw the other day the president retweeted, Somebody put on Twitter, they said, it's not Republican versus Democrat, it's America versus becoming a shithole country or some third world dump, something like that.
00:09:34.000I mean, who else would put that on Twitter?
00:09:37.000And I know some people might say, oh, well, you know, it's one thing to put it on Twitter, it's another thing to put it into action.
00:09:43.000My point is, it's emblematic of the kind of person that Trump is and the fact that there is, I feel like, a real representation there with him, that he really represents.
00:09:54.000This movement of the people, it's populism, it's grassroots, as opposed to everything else.
00:10:01.000So, those are just some additional reflections on the debate.
00:10:04.000Like I said last night, in spite of what I've just said, I think that that's what Pence was supposed to do.
00:10:10.000He is a perfect compliment to Trump in that he is more calm and reassuring to your average voter.
00:10:17.000He does represent business as usual, but on a ticket with Trump, I think that helps to shore up Trump's credibility for people that think that he's.
00:10:26.000Too unconventional or erratic or something like that.
00:10:29.000I think he definitely tempers some of the negatives that might be associated with Trump for certain people.
00:10:35.000So, as far as that goes, I thought that Pence was great.
00:10:40.000And if you go on social media, you could tell.
00:10:43.000I just took a cursory look at Instagram and Twitter, some popular polls and popular pages asking who won, Pence or Kamala, and it seemed pretty universal.
00:11:03.000And I don't even know what to say about that other than it's just endlessly annoying and insufferable to me that things like that exist.
00:11:12.000You know, not the fly in itself, but within an hour after the debate, you have these Reddit type people that create a Twitter account that says, the fly on Mike Pence's head.
00:11:23.000And it's the profile picture is the fly from the debate.
00:11:27.000And they quote tweet, An article from the New York Times taught the fly stole the show, and the quote tweet from the fly account is like, Hey, that's me!
00:11:37.00010 million likes, 10 million retweets.
00:11:53.000It's not really anybody versus anyone.
00:11:55.000It's that probably most of the population is basically unthinking, easily amused, basically on autopilot, incapable of introspection or independent thought.
00:12:09.000Well, if we just fixed the system, if we just had the right rules in place, well, if everyone was just Republican.
00:12:17.000No, no, I'm sorry to tell you that as long as there are human beings, as long as we're going to be on this planet, it's going to be most of the population that's going to be causing problems, naturally degenerating, in need of leadership and order, and in a lot of cases, just straight up oppression.
00:12:35.000I mean, just they need to be oppressed.
00:12:38.000If you don't think that people need to be oppressed, seeing things like that, I mean, you're probably one of the people that needs to be oppressed.
00:12:46.000So, and if you're one of these libertarians, what do you mean we should be oppressed and all of this?
00:12:52.000I'm perfectly okay with being oppressed as well.
00:13:08.000We need a firm, controlling hand by somebody from the top 20 or 10 or 5%, whoever it is, that is capable of cognition in the way that we need it.
00:13:19.000So, anyway, so that, I mean, that was the most frustrating thing.
00:13:22.000I thought it was a masterful performance.
00:13:25.000And the fly's not a big deal, but it was just seeing all, of course.
00:13:41.000If you go on Twitter and do a search, and there's dozens of them trying to get their dopamine and thinking, this is so original, it's so funny, and it's just, I don't even know what to say anymore.
00:13:54.000I don't even, why say anything at this point?
00:14:19.000Before the election, you're going to see some kind of right wing militia, some kind of white nationalist attack.
00:14:27.000You're going to see a false flag incident.
00:14:31.000And the purpose of that is so that they can say that right wing extremists are the problem and target them or swing the vote in favor of the left in the swing states or cancel the election or call into question the legitimacy of the election.
00:14:47.000I said, but whatever it is, however it plays out, I said, you'll probably see some kind of false flag episode orchestrated by the intelligence community, which frames right wing militias or White nationalists.
00:15:02.000I think I said that on Monday or Tuesday.
00:15:05.000Well, here we are on Thursday, and all over the news, all the headlines Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot exposed.
00:15:15.000The story is this that there is this anarchist, right wing adjacent, sort of boogaloo boy type group which plotted and schemed for a year to kidnap the governor of Michigan, which is very convenient, you know, not the governor of Wyoming or.
00:15:33.000Colorado or Montana or anything like that.
00:15:50.000And I'll read you the article from the New York Times.
00:15:53.000It says, Storming the state capitol, instigating a civil war, abducting a sitting governor ahead of the presidential election.
00:16:03.000Those were among the plots described by federal and state officials in Michigan on Thursday as they announced terrorism, conspiracy, and weapons charges against 13 men.
00:16:34.000It says, at least six of them, officials said, had hatched a detailed plan to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat who has become a focal point of anti government views.
00:16:45.000And anger over coronavirus control measures.
00:17:10.000The group that planned the kidnapping met repeatedly over the summer for firearms training and combat drills and practiced building explosives, the FBI said.
00:17:19.000Members also gathered several times to discuss the mission, including in the basement of a shop that was accessible only through a trap door under a rug.
00:17:31.000The men spied on Ms. Whitmer's vacation home in August and September, even looking under a highway bridge for places they could place and detonate a bomb to distract the authorities.
00:17:41.000They indicated that they wanted to take Ms. Whitmer hostage before the election in November, and one man said they should take her to a secure location in Wisconsin for a trial.
00:17:52.000According to a special agent from the FBI, Special Agent Richard Spencer said, I'm kidding, Mr. Trask, the agent, said that one of those arrested had brought a taser for the mission last week and that the men had been planning to buy explosives on Wednesday.
00:18:09.000Court records indicated that at least five of the men had been arrested on Wednesday.
00:18:12.000It was not immediately clear if the sixth man had been taken into custody.
00:18:17.000The FBI said a leader in the kidnapping plot had reached out to members of an unnamed anti government group for help.
00:18:23.000And the state charged an additional seven men, all from Michigan, with providing material support for terrorist activities, being members of a gang, and using firearms while committing felonies.
00:18:33.000The seven men were said to be affiliated with an extremist group known as the Wolverine Watchmen.
00:18:43.000And the state's attorney general accused them of collecting addresses of police officers in order to target them, threatening to start a civil war leading to societal collapse, and planning to kidnap the governor and other government officials.
00:18:57.000The seven men were charged with state crimes, which carry penalties of two to 20 years in prison.
00:19:03.000Ms. Whitmer and Dana Nessel, the Michigan Attorney General, tied the extremist plot to comments from President Trump and his refusal at times to condemn white supremacists and violent right wing groups.
00:19:16.000She said, Just last week, the President of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two Michigan militia groups.
00:19:28.000There is no indication in the court documents that any of the men were inspired by the president.
00:19:33.000But Ms. Whitmer said extremists had heard the president's words not as a rebuke, but as a rallying cry.
00:19:40.000The FBI investigation of the kidnapping plot began early this year, according to an affidavit, after a social media discussion of violent government overthrow.
00:19:49.000The FBI used confidential informants, undercover agents, and intercepted messages to monitor the group.
00:19:56.000So, in the first place, I think it's very important to note that none of what we have heard about these alleged extremist groups or these people that were plotting this attack, none of what we have heard about these people.
00:20:11.000Gives us any indication about their motive that they're right wing, that they're a conservative, that they're against the lockdown.
00:20:19.000And yet, in spite of that, throughout the article, it seems to be that this is what they're implying right from the beginning.
00:20:25.000Whitmer has become the center of anti government angst because of her hardcore lockdown that she did.
00:20:34.000Well, where in this article, what have we heard from the FBI or from law enforcement that this had anything to do with the lockdown?
00:20:40.000And yet, this is what they're suggesting.
00:20:45.000Why might they imply that this group, that their motivation was against the lockdown?
00:20:51.000Well, presumably because the left and this entire elite apparatus has been trying to take this anti lockdown stuff and make this the latest right wing boogeyman like QAnon or anti vax or other assorted conspiracy theorists.
00:21:07.000So in the first paragraph, they say they're targeting Governor Whitmer.
00:21:40.000It seems like the New York Times is not necessarily refuting this.
00:21:44.000They're saying that this is somehow connected to President Trump or more broadly, The far right, or to militia groups, or something like this.
00:21:54.000So, I find it very interesting from the get go how this is framed, and this is what they do every time, by the way.
00:22:00.000Sometimes I believe that even if it's not outright a fabricated false flag attack, it is something where there's maybe a trace of an attack, maybe there is something legitimate, there's a kernel of truth there, but then they take it and they spin it, they create a false motivation.
00:22:20.000They connect it to things that are not connected and then they make it work for them.
00:22:24.000I think this is basically what happened last year in August with the El Paso shooting.
00:22:29.000Last year, when a man went into Walmart and shot a bunch of people, including white people, they connected the shooting to a manifesto that was released on 8chan, even though there was never a paper trail, there was never any confirmation that the person that shot up the Walmart wrote a so called anti immigration manifesto on 8chan.
00:22:49.000That didn't stop them from banning 8chan.
00:22:52.000And then accusing white supremacists and white nationalists and so called far right people of being responsible.
00:22:59.000So, whether this was a false flag or whether this was something that they just spun in their favor, it doesn't really matter.
00:23:07.000We could see by design what they're trying to do here.
00:23:10.000We could see what Governor Whitmer is trying to do when she gets up and, in response to this fake plot, you know, that coincidentally happens three weeks before the election in a swing state, in the swing state of Michigan, where she is highly unpopular.
00:23:24.000She gets up and she says it's the president's fault.
00:23:27.000Even though these people are anti police, even though presumably these people are against the president, they're against the government, right?
00:23:34.000I mean, Trump is the president of the government they're against.
00:23:38.000Yet she says that the president is inciting this violence.
00:23:42.000And this is the predictable narrative.
00:23:44.000I'm sure this is what all the mainstream media is going to do.
00:23:48.000They're going to take this and run with it for the next few weeks.
00:23:51.000If there's going to be another presidential debate, you can put it on the bingo card, right?
00:23:55.000You can bet that Joe Biden is going to bring it up.
00:23:58.000And you could bet that all the mainstream media is going to bring this up and cover this until the day of the election.
00:24:04.000It's like what we talked about, I think, last week or earlier this week.
00:24:08.000There was a memo from the intelligence community which said to be wary of violence targeting polling places or governmental targets before and after the election.
00:24:23.000You know, they could take their memo that they created and the false flag that they created, and then they can launder that into the media narrative that we will hear for the next three weeks about how we have to be really careful about white supremacists and far right extremists.
00:24:38.000Even anti mask, anti lockdown people, Trump supporters, creating violence and turmoil before the election.
00:24:46.000Keep in mind, and this is sort of an interesting contrast, that last night we saw on video Black Lives Matter activists looting stores and even going into residential neighborhoods in the suburbs of Wisconsin and smashing people's windows at their houses, driving motorcycles across their lawns.
00:25:08.000People's houses and then tearing up gas stations and businesses.
00:25:21.000We have this alleged plot that has been brewing for a year that the FBI conveniently tells us about and busts three weeks before the election.
00:25:33.000And the only people that can corroborate this are law enforcement.
00:25:38.000Contrasted with what was happening in Wisconsin.
00:25:41.000Last night on video, which was Black Lives Matter activists, self described.0.80
00:25:47.000And like I said, people that we can see with our own eyes if you're in Wisconsin or if you're watching online, smashing stores and even going as far as to smash people's homes in the suburbs.0.92
00:26:00.000It's pretty obvious what's going on here.
00:26:02.000The left is out of control and it is hurting their chances at winning the election between Black Lives Matter and Antifa, even the lockdown to a degree, and their own candidate, Joe Biden.
00:26:14.000Everything that can go wrong for the left is going wrong.
00:26:18.000So, what they have to do is fabricate something parallel on the other side.
00:26:23.000So, they fabricate, for example, foreign collusion.
00:26:27.000They fabricate right wing violence.0.92
00:26:29.000They fabricate boogaloo boys and right wing militias that are just as much a part of the riots as Black Lives Matter.0.94
00:26:38.000They fabricate everything that's happening on the left on the right.0.93
00:26:42.000And you know this because the only people that are reporting on this or corroborating this are our political enemies.
00:26:48.000In the intelligence community and the mainstream media, who are unambiguously and overtly working against the president's reelection.
00:26:58.000And I told you, I think I predicted it maybe on the same week.
00:27:02.000I said, you'll see days or weeks before the election a major false flag, and it will be designed to vilify the so called far right and scapegoat the president so that their coup can go forward.
00:27:17.000I think that's exactly what this is the perfect opportunity.
00:27:21.000For them to manipulate how things are going to go in the election, but specifically in the election in Michigan.
00:27:27.000I mean, let's not forget that this is happening in a crucial and critical swing state that Trump may be on track even to win.
00:27:34.000I will also add, and this is also not lost on me when I see a story like this let this be another reminder to anybody that thinks they're going to overthrow the government, that this is the fate that awaits you.
00:27:47.000Whenever you hear people on social media telling you about the collapse or the boogaloo or the race war or anything like that, whenever you hear somebody say something like, we're not going to vote our way out of this.
00:28:02.000And then the sort of unspoken conclusion is therefore, we're going to fight our way out of this.
00:28:08.000Who's going to fight our way out of this?
00:28:11.000The people that say that are going to talk about it on the internet.
00:28:14.000You're supposed to go out there and get locked up for the rest of your life or get killed by the ATF or the FBI, right?
00:28:22.000Let this be a reminder that anybody suggesting this does not have your best interest in mind.
00:28:29.000Either they are part of the FBI, literally, or they are people that.
00:28:34.000Are going to end up like this, if this is even real, or they're going to end up dead or in jail.1.00
00:28:41.000There's either the people that are the predators or there are the useful idiots that get swept up in it.0.98
00:28:46.000I saw that, and that was actually kind of my initial thought here's another instance of people thinking, oh, we're going to accelerate to the collapse and all of this.0.97
00:28:56.000How do you think the FBI found out about this?
00:28:59.000The FBI said they had undercover people, informants.
00:29:03.000What do you think those people present as?
00:29:06.000I mean, they're out there in the world.
00:29:52.000And their job is to try and find people who are prone maybe to violence or extremism or something like that and goad them into doing something where they will entrap themselves.
00:30:04.000I mean, that is what they're there for.
00:30:05.000Now, I will say for the record, I'm always against political violence, I always have been.
00:30:10.000You know, we do not advocate anti government violence or anything like that on the show, but you do have informants out there that are going to try to suggest that to people so that they can trap them.
00:30:24.000Well, they themselves will get on the internet and talk about anti government and violence and so on in the hopes that they will attract these sincere people that are maybe thinking those things so that they could set up an arms deal, so they could set up something, so they can catch their friends, right?
00:31:18.000There is no category of person that can be described as reasonable or well meaning that is thinking that a small group of a dozen or a half dozen people is going to successfully wage a campaign against the United States government and the U.S. military.
00:31:34.000There's no category of people that is reasonable, well meaning, you know, that they have all their marbles together, right?
00:31:42.000It's only feds, and it is people that are eventually going to get screwed by the feds.
00:32:16.000And every single example that she used, and virtually everything throughout the entire debate, was a fabrication in the same way that this can be.0.99
00:32:25.000You know, for example, she talked about how the president said that the troops were suckers and losers.0.89
00:32:32.000He went to Arlington Cemetery and said, What was in it for them, or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?0.95
00:32:37.000That he ignored that Russia was putting bounties on the heads of American troops in Afghanistan.
00:32:44.000Every single one of those stories was made up.
00:32:47.000In spite of this, it was reported across the entire mainstream media.
00:32:52.000It was all over the front page of Twitter.
00:32:54.000It was reported by the New York Times and NBC and all of network television and cable news.
00:33:03.000They make things up, they launder it through the media, and it becomes fact.
00:33:07.000And if you think that it stops, it begins and ends with things like saying that the troops are suckers, you know, the lines that you're drawing are completely arbitrary.
00:33:53.000They've lied throughout this election about everything and they've conspired and they did it in the last election and they can do it about things like this too.
00:35:52.000Well, because the president got the coronavirus on Friday.
00:35:56.000He was discharged from the hospital on Monday.
00:35:59.000We had a first presidential debate, which went off without a hitch.
00:36:03.000We had a vice presidential debate where they had the plexiglass barriers, and as far as we know, went smoothly.
00:36:10.000And it was only after the second debate, the Second debate that the Democrats lost the morning after that they came up with this brilliant idea to have the debate, the second presidential debate, be hosted virtually and remotely.
00:36:28.000It says, The second presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, scheduled for October 15th, will be held virtually, the bipartisan commission on presidential debates said on Thursday.
00:36:42.000Minutes after the announcement, however, Trump said he would not participate.
00:36:47.000He said, No, I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate.
00:36:51.000His campaign later said that Trump would hold a rally that night instead.
00:36:55.000Trump and his allies quickly claimed, without evidence, that the commission made the change to favor Biden.
00:37:01.000A Biden campaign source told NBC that the debate commission made the decision unilaterally.
00:37:07.000Citing a need to protect the health and safety of all involved, the debate commission said in a statement, The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting.
00:37:17.000In which the candidates would participate from separate remote locations.
00:37:22.000The debate's location in Miami and the moderator, C SPAN's Steve Scully, will remain unchanged, they said.
00:37:29.000Earlier this week, Biden said if Trump remains infectious, then the debate should be called off, but added that he would follow medical professionals' advice.
00:37:37.000Following news of the debate change, Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stippin, who was recently diagnosed with COVID 19 himself, insisted the debate can still be held safely in person.
00:37:48.000The first debate between the two candidates last Tuesday in Cleveland quickly devolved into a fiasco after Trump refused to stop talking when his allotted time was finished and continued to interrupt and insult Biden for the remainder of the debate.
00:38:03.000So, the reason why I say the timing is so coincidental is because if this was such a concern, why didn't we hear about this when all the other rule changes were announced?
00:38:13.000There were a slate of rule changes announced the day after the first presidential debate last Wednesday.
00:38:20.000They said that they're going to cut off mics.
00:38:22.000They're going to adhere to a strict two minute time limit, and they said other changes would come later.
00:38:27.000Trump got diagnosed with COVID on Friday, or was it Saturday?
00:38:33.000Went to Walter Reed on Friday, and then on Monday was discharged.
00:38:37.000Why didn't they announce the rule change on Thursday or Friday or Monday?
00:38:41.000Why did they wait until after the vice presidential debate, the morning after, you know, not even 24 hours after, to conveniently come up with this new rule that, well, I think this time it's going to be hosted remotely.
00:39:50.000There is something to be said about having two people in person reading each other's facial expressions and making eye contact, and also being able to hear and talk and be presented without the aid of technology.
00:40:05.000Who's to say that in a remote debate there's not going to be an earpiece malfunction, there's not going to be some kind of technical problem?
00:40:12.000Something very convenient that might happen if Trump is building up his energy and the moderator can't stop it using the conventional means that have failed in the last debate or in the vice presidential debate.
00:40:36.000Every part of this election, from false flag attacks, the fake media coverage, the moderators are biased.
00:40:43.000The mail in ballots are going to be rigged, and then now they're going to try and host a debate remotely so that Joe Biden can have an earpiece in so he can hear what Donald Trump is saying, and also so he can be fed his lines, and he can look at a teleprompter, and he can have Jill hold his hand throughout the whole thing.
00:40:58.000And meanwhile, Trump will be malfunctioning, and they'll cut his feed, and they'll cut his mic, and they could cut everything.
00:41:05.000To me, it is pretty obvious what's going on there.
00:41:08.000The problem, though, and this is the tricky thing, is that the president kind of needs the debates.
00:41:15.000Trump needs the debates more than Joe Biden.
00:41:18.000And I've been saying this for a long time.
00:41:20.000The reason why I've been more confident in Trump's chances at winning is because there's really nowhere for him to go but up and nowhere for Biden to go but down if the election follows through in a conventional way.
00:41:35.000In other words, the reason that Joe Biden, in my opinion, has been so strong in the polls is because largely he has been hidden from public view, he has not been campaigning, he's not been visible.
00:41:47.000Really, from the time that he was the presumptive nominee until arguably the Democratic convention or even the first debate, he was hidden.
00:41:57.000Would not make public appearances, would not hold events.
00:42:04.000And they are relying totally on the structural advantages that they have with the biased media and the demographic changes that are in place and the other corruption that goes on to win the election.
00:42:15.000And they're basically going to try and slip Joe Biden past the goalie without ever actually having.
00:42:20.000To have him campaign or really even be the nominee.
00:42:23.000They're trying to just, with their structural advantage, force Trump to lose as opposed to make Biden win.
00:42:30.000And insofar as the election goes this way without a lot of attention, without a lot of eyeballs, without the spotlight, without visibility, insofar as the debate goes this way without making a lot of news and a lot of noise, then Joe Biden is going to be carried across the finish line by that structural advantage that they have in every area, all the power structures in the country.
00:42:54.000And so far as Biden will be forced to be put under the spotlight and made visible and forced to actually campaign against Trump, he will lose.
00:43:04.000In the sense that when he goes up against Trump one on one, I mean, he did well, I'll say, in the first debate, he was competent enough, but two or three debates, it's too big of a risk.
00:43:14.000You could see that Trump's natural trajectory, given three debates, is that he should necessarily gain in the polls, just like he did after the convention.
00:43:24.000If, of course, they can cancel and call off the debates and hide the conventions and hide everything else, Trump is going to have a tougher time.
00:43:32.000That's why they're calling off the debates.
00:43:34.000But, of course, then that presents a problem for Trump where he sees that they're going to host a virtual debate and he's kind of between a rock and a hard place.
00:43:42.000Either he attends the virtual debate and it's fixed and it's rigged and he loses the debate, which would be catastrophic, or he just calls off the debate, which is not good because then you're missing that opportunity to win the debate, like I said.
00:43:57.000Expose Joe Biden for being senile or demented, and then get an advantage in the polls.
00:44:03.000Instead, he's doing a rally, and that's terrific, but the rallies don't draw nearly as much attention as the debates.
00:44:31.000Winning the debate is kind of a closed off pathway for him because of the nature of having it remote and subject to technology controlled by the debate commission or God knows who.
00:44:42.000You know, maybe it's the television networks.
00:44:44.000So, as far as this goes, it is very, very bad for the president.
00:44:49.000What he has to do in the coming weeks, or in the coming week, I should say, with very little time, is to try to negotiate an in person debate.
00:45:17.000And if that is not a possibility, then it has to happen that they have the third debate on October 22nd.
00:45:23.000That will make the third debate basically all important in some sense.
00:45:29.000Now, maybe it's an exaggeration to say that the entire election hinges on that third debate, but if we are to get every strategic advantage that we can, and we need every strategic advantage, We have got to have another debate, at least one more.
00:45:43.000And really, I think one more is insufficient.
00:45:48.000But if we can't win the second one, if it has to be virtual, then that just makes it all the more important that we get one more debate before the election.
00:46:04.000He's got five or six days to make it work.
00:46:07.000And honestly, I have to say, there is an incentive for the television networks to work with him on this because.
00:46:14.000You have to understand that probably having the presidential debate is something that the media wants too.
00:46:21.000You know, getting 100 million people to watch.
00:46:24.000The networks said it was a unilateral decision by the Presidential Debate Commission, meaning maybe they don't even necessarily approve of this themselves.
00:46:33.000Trump does wield a lot of leverage in the sense that there is probably some financial incentive to have another debate.
00:46:39.000And if the media is confident that they can rig it, you know, why not have their cake and eat it too?
00:46:45.000Have the debate, which draws the audience and draws people in, and then also have Trump lose, you know?
00:46:51.000So, I think that that is maybe his decision.
00:46:54.000I think that's probably the thinking there.
00:46:57.000If they announce it's virtual and within five minutes he says, oh, well, then I won't participate, maybe he's counting on the debate commission will come crawling back in a few days and say, well, maybe we can make it work.
00:47:09.000You know, his doctor has already said that he's clear to do public events on Monday.
00:47:15.000So, presumably, there is some backdoor negotiating happening about making the debate happen after all.
00:47:52.000Like during the North Korea brinksmanship or the negotiations with Iran.
00:47:57.000You know, a lot of people would freak out when the president would threaten war.
00:48:02.000And I would always say, you know, threatening war is actually part of the negotiating.
00:48:07.000Missile strikes are part of the negotiating.
00:48:09.000Aircraft carrier strike groups are part of the negotiation.
00:48:13.000Hiring John Bolton is part of the negotiation.
00:48:17.000You know, and that is a style of thinking that is very different from a politician.
00:48:22.000A politician doesn't think in the same way that.
00:48:24.000A businessman, particularly a real estate developer, a negotiator, thinks.
00:48:29.000And you know, in the same way that the president will say, You will be met with fire and fury, the likes of which has never been seen to North Korea, he is in the same way saying, I will not participate in a second debate.
00:48:43.000And in the same way, doing something so decisive and shocking and disruptive is something that will change how the other side proceeds with their decision making.
00:48:53.000You know, it's like what we described last week that, that, uh, Strategic thinking loop, the observe, orient, decide, act thinking loop, that's that same premise.
00:49:05.000If Trump is going to throw out within five minutes, oh, it's a virtual debate, well, I'm done.
00:50:12.000And how can you deny it at this point?
00:50:15.000They are putting up an obstacle in the way of everything that is conventional, by the way, that would help Trump.
00:50:22.000You know, things that are unprecedented and unthinkable the volume of mail in ballots, counting them for a week or two weeks, this question about the peaceful transition of power, the scaremongering about.
00:50:34.000Election violence, the media lying more than ever, the presidential debate commission, the moderators rigging it.
00:52:52.000There is a little something there, you know?
00:52:55.000Whereas Kamala, like you said, is just totally, total swamp creature, total elite.
00:53:00.000Creature, you know, not relatable to any human being, you know, in other words, that makes up the rest of the country.
00:53:08.000Erectile dysfunction, Groypers says, when you streamed on aflive.app, you told us to expect very big and exciting announcements in Q4 2020.
00:53:16.000Should we still expect them or are you pushing them back?
00:55:20.000Independent from Disney was kind of this, like, I don't want to say it was like out there, it was relatively mainstream, but it wasn't what it is today.
00:56:10.000And I remember when Star Wars 3 came out, it was like the biggest thing in the world for me.
00:56:14.000Everything was Star Wars promotions, you know, Star Wars spoon in the cereal box, lightsaber spoon in the cereal box, Star Wars toys at Burger King, Star Wars kudos bar.
00:56:27.000Star Wars, you know, the inserts in like every, like, what do they call those?
00:56:36.000You get like a catalog and you'd have a Star Wars themed insert.
00:56:40.000And just those little things I was like, I geeked out so much over it.
00:56:47.000Likma Balsak says telling a lame joke just to ironically cap it with, I'll see myself out, is the epitome of sitcom tier self deprecating Reddit humor.
01:11:39.000And that's what happens to everybody.1.00
01:11:42.000You know, they get a nice basement and a nice garage and they get domesticated by their nice, pretty, beautiful wife and they're making money and they're with serious people in like the city and the nightlife.
01:11:54.000And then they can't be funny anymore because, you know, to be funny, you have to have a sort of a level of like wretchedness.
01:12:01.000You have to have ugliness, I feel like, in your life.
01:12:04.000You have to have ugly thoughts to be funny.
01:12:07.000And, you know, when everything's going your way and it's just, You know, you can't be relatable.
01:12:12.000You cannot participate in this sort of comedic tragedy of life.
01:12:22.000Oh, you know, we, it's like that MDE sketch, the one where they tripped the wife, but before that, you know, where they're talking about, oh, Tsar Nubius and we were riding a Tandem bicycle.
01:12:35.000You know, it's like that kind of stuff.
01:13:32.000You know, when he said that organic ice cream bit, I mean, you could tell right away that this guy was just like total grug brain, like caved in head, whoa, Jack.
01:14:59.000He says, Mark Dice tweeted out that video of the black people in Wisconsin terrorizing the neighborhood.0.92
01:15:06.000And this, the organic ice cream guy tweets Look at all those white supremacists breaking windows from inside their homes and blaming the basketball American jogging club outside.0.88
01:15:17.000When is Drumpf going to disavow white supremistry?0.67
01:15:20.000And white supremacy is spelled W Y T E S U P R E M E I S S T R Y.
01:15:28.000Oh, I'm hooting and hollering at your hilarious joke.1.00
01:21:51.000Volk says I understand there are pressing matters to discuss, but I'm confused as to why Pence didn't attack Harris on her insane gun control policies.1.00
01:22:00.000Millions of idiot lefties are now scared and buying guns too.0.99
01:22:03.000This should be a go to to sway independence.1.00
01:22:06.000Wanted your thoughts on preparing for civil unrest.1.00
01:22:08.000Anytime someone discusses guns, food, or preparing for what could happen, Gets you called an idiot wigmat.0.99
01:22:14.000We should all be prepared for what comes to us.0.99
01:22:52.000I mean, that just hasn't been salient in politics this entire year.
01:22:56.000This entire year, they haven't talked about guns.
01:22:59.000So, you know, you can't really just do whatever it is that you want in the debate.
01:23:03.000You have to more or less kind of go with the flow.
01:23:05.000And in particular, is this an issue that's going to sway independence when you've got everything else that's going on?
01:23:11.000I think not only the moderators, but the voters have other things on their minds right now.
01:23:17.000It's more important for Pence to give a convincing answer on coronavirus than it is to.
01:23:21.000To pivot to climate change, in my opinion, or to pivot to gun control, in my opinion.
01:23:27.000Jason says, Nick, if given the opportunity, what questions should we ask Trump on the Rush Limbaugh show tomorrow?
01:23:33.000Does anybody really think you're going to get through?
01:23:35.000Does anybody really think the president is just going to take random calls?
01:23:39.000They're not going to take anybody who calls in, in my opinion.
01:23:43.000They'll take people that have called in before.
01:23:45.000They'll maybe set up fake phone calls, you know, but I doubt they're like, okay, we're opening the phone lines, call blah, blah, blah, you know, to call the president.
01:23:54.000Does anybody seriously think they would do that?
01:23:57.000Yamato says, Why did the Wignat fail his physics course?
01:24:00.000Because he just didn't understand optics.
01:24:35.000I mean, I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, but it's so bad now.
01:24:39.000It wasn't nearly this bad when I graduated.
01:24:41.000I graduated in 16, you know, before the election, and it was nothing like this.
01:24:47.000And my high school put out a video in September, and it was like that MDE Toss It video, the We Are One People United in a Social Movement.
01:24:58.000It was a video like that, you know, where they complete each other's sentences.
01:25:02.000Where it's one person talking, we are, and then there's another screen, Black Lives Matter, you know what I mean?
01:25:08.000They did a video like that, and this cheesy video, you know, racism is not acceptable, and we have to better each other, and racism within the halls of our schools, and we wanna foster an inclusive environment, and like every faculty member was in it, even the conservative ones.
01:25:27.000All the faculty in there, this paused up message.
01:25:31.000They painted a Black Lives Matter mural at the school.
01:25:35.000Giant BLM mural that says like Brianna and George Floyd and BLM and the principles totally off the rails.
01:25:46.000I went and looked at the summer reading, and the summer reading it's like you had your normal books, and then every class had to pick a book about race.
01:25:56.000Every book was like racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, xenophobia you know, every book was like about racism, and the principles off the rails with this stuff.
01:26:07.000The BLM, we see you, you're visible, whatever.0.89
01:26:37.000The other day on Snapchat, I've been kind of flexing on Snapchat lately because I've been thriving, you know.
01:26:44.000And I posted a screenshot on Snapchat of my debate stream where I had like 36, 37,000 people watching.
01:26:51.000And I posted on my Snap story, new record 37,000 viewers.
01:26:56.000It's like all of a sudden, all of a sudden, people I haven't heard from in years are messaging me.
01:27:01.000In particular, this one guy from my friend group who had a big problem with me three years ago because I was conservative and everything and kind of like drove a wedge between me and everybody.
01:27:11.000One of the major antagonists, in particular, he texts me on the story.
01:28:05.000Respect the Putin says, Hey, Nick, thanks for the great debate coverage.
01:28:09.000You had my parents laughing hysterically, and today my mom kept going on about how that Nick is such a hoot.
01:28:14.000Anyway, I wanted to remind all the California viewers to vote no on California Proposition 16, which would bring affirmative action back to California.
01:29:10.000There's this proposition now in Illinois to do a progressive income tax for the state, progressive state income tax as opposed to a flat income tax.
01:29:19.000The Illinois state income tax is like 4%, or it's between 4% and 5%.
01:29:25.000And with the progressive income tax, it's They obviously raise it significantly.
01:29:30.000And I'm seeing all these advertisements.
01:29:32.000They're like, oh, 95% of Illinoisans won't have their taxes go up.
01:29:39.000And I'm thinking that fair tax means VAT tax because I see all these advertisements and it says fair tax, the fair tax.
01:29:48.000And historically, the fair tax means a VAT tax, a value added tax, which is what they have in Europe.
01:29:57.000Like Mike Huckabee campaigned on the VAT tax in 2016.
01:30:02.000And like I said, historically in America, they call the VAT tax the fair tax because it's a tax that's on the consumption end.
01:30:11.000If people are buying things or paying tax, as opposed to if they're taxed on their earnings.
01:30:15.000Anyway, so I assumed it was a VAT tax.
01:30:19.000And I looked it up, Illinois, fair tax, whatever.
01:30:21.000And it's like, no, it's a progressive income tax.
01:30:24.000And it's like, and every time I see that advertisement, I freak.1.00
01:30:27.000I start dropping the N word because it's always these like, it's always like black people in it that are like, you know, vote to make.1.00
01:30:35.000People pay their fair share and shit.1.00
01:32:22.000Sammy, will she complete the cycle?1.00
01:32:25.000You know, Baked Alaska going through these cycles of yoba riding high, and then it always seems like a crazy blonde catalyzes the end of the cycle, the doomsday part of the cycle, the Kali Yuga.1.00
01:32:40.000The Kali Yoba is what they should call it, right?1.00
01:33:47.000Slonking, he's got a mouthful of cheeseburger, she's eating the fucking McNuggets, and they're kissing with their mouth full of McDonald's.1.00
01:36:47.000Elected Groyper says, Hannity ended his interview with Trump with a goof saying he was excited about the good news concerning Regeneron and Eli Whitney.
01:38:37.000I am obviously the all seeing eye on the pyramid.
01:38:41.000And then below that, we've got sort of like the court of the pharaoh, which is your optics respecter, your satirical man, your helicopter money, your real Greg James Beam.0.69
01:38:52.000These are your Polish American Groyper, your mega donors, right?
01:38:57.000Then, a tier below that, you've got sort of your regulars.0.96
01:39:10.000Then below that, you might have your like affiliated type people, you know, your interdimensional harmony, your KTK, your Yamato, Empress, Sasha.
01:39:22.000You know, you'll have these kinds of people, Quantim.1.00
01:39:27.000And then at the bottom is just all the people that, uh, That are just watching the show, the thousands of nameless and faceless Groypers.0.99
01:39:35.000So, and this is how it works, and this is how it works.1.00
