00:27:48.000Very excited to be back with you here this evening on Tuesday.
00:27:52.000We've got a bit of a special show for you tonight.
00:27:55.000It's been a string of special shows and it will be this week.
00:27:59.000Yesterday we were covering the Iowa caucus until pretty late in the evening and tonight we are at a bit of a later time covering the State of the Union Address.
00:28:10.000And it looks like the president is making his way through here in congress right now, or I guess right now it's Melania Trump being applauded there.
00:28:28.000We're going to be watching the State of the Union.
00:28:29.000I'm not going to be giving too much commentary.
00:28:31.000We're basically just going to watch the speech and then I'll react to it and analyze it once it is over.
00:28:37.000But it is worth noting it's a notable State of the Union address this year because this is only the second time in U.S.
00:28:44.000history that you've had a sitting president that's being impeached give the State of the Union the first time.
00:29:43.000But the good news is this year no Holocaust survivors.
00:29:46.000I thought that was the most obnoxious part from last year.
00:29:49.000I don't know if you guys remember last year's State of the Union Address, but...
00:29:53.000Last year they actually delayed it by a week or two.
00:29:58.000This was during the government shutdown and that became part of the negotiation that Nancy Pelosi said that she would not hold the State of the Union address in the House of Representatives until the government was reopened.
00:30:10.000So the president cucked, moved the State of the Union forward.
00:30:15.000They had the State of the Union and they talked about immigration like this much
00:30:22.000And I believe, and I recall, that they spent more time talking about the Holocaust during the 2019 State of the Union than they did about immigration, right after the government shutdown.
00:32:29.000And if you guys have been paying attention to that, we still do not have the results from Iowa.
00:32:34.000Yesterday was the Iowa Caucus first contest in the Democratic primary, and we went three and a half hours last night, and we had no results.
00:32:43.000And as of right now, we only have 65% of the counties have been reported.
00:32:49.000So we still have no idea who won the Iowa caucus and maybe we'll talk a little bit about that more tomorrow.
00:32:55.000But it looks like the president's about to step in here, so we'll watch and see what happens.
00:34:08.000He said, I don't know if you ever heard this story, but it's an old Trump story where Tucker Carlson made fun of his hair years ago, way before he became president.
00:34:20.000And Donald Trump called up Tucker Carlson, left a voicemail on his phone, and he said, you're right, you do have better hair than me, but I get more pussy than you.
00:37:19.000My fellow citizens, three years ago we launched the great American comeback.
00:37:25.000Tonight I stand before you to share the incredible results.
00:37:30.000Jobs are booming, incomes are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging, and our country is thriving and highly respected again.
00:37:51.000It needs to be a little louder, but that's as loud as it gets.
00:37:54.000I don't know why the volume is so low on the Fox News playback, but that's the way it is.
00:38:34.000The days of our country being used, taken advantage of, and even scorned by other nations are long behind us.
00:38:48.000Next on to are the broken promises, jobless recoveries, tired platitudes, and constant excuses for the depletion of American wealth, power, and prestige.
00:39:02.000In just three short years, we have shattered the mentality of American decline, and we have rejected the downsizing of Americans' destiny.
00:39:17.000We have totally rejected the downsizing.
00:39:21.000We're moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never, ever going back.
00:40:09.000And for all of these reasons, I say to the people of our great country and to the members of Congress, the state of our union is stronger than ever before.
00:40:39.000I don't know if I agree with that, but I like the idea.
00:40:43.000The vision I will lay out this evening demonstrates how we are building the world's most prosperous and inclusive society, one where every citizen can join in America's unparalleled success, and where every community can take part in America's extraordinary rise.
00:41:01.000From the instant I took office, I moved rapidly to revive the U.S.
00:41:05.000economy, slashing a record number of job-killing regulations, enacting historic and record-setting tax cuts, and fighting for fair and reciprocal trade agreements.
00:41:26.000Our agenda is relentlessly pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth, and most of all, pro-American.
00:41:37.000We're leading with the economy, seems to be the idea here.
00:41:55.000We are advancing with unbridled optimism and lifting our citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed very, very high.
00:42:08.000Since my election, we have created 7 million new jobs, 5 million more than government experts projected during the previous administration.
00:42:30.000The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century.
00:43:04.000If we hadn't reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success.
00:43:19.000I would be pleasantly surprised if we didn't hear about low black, Hispanic, Asian, female unemployment.
00:46:14.000Sounds like he's getting heckled a little bit.
00:46:17.000In eight years under the last administration, over 300,000 working-age people dropped out of the workforce.
00:46:24.000In just three years of my administration, 3.5 million people, working-age people, have joined the workforce.
00:46:37.000Look at this roasty old bag of an idiot.
00:46:45.000Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage earners has increased by 47%, three times faster than the increase for the top 1%.
00:47:02.000After decades of flat and falling incomes, wages are rising fast, and wonderfully, they are rising fastest for low-income workers who have seen a 16% pay increase since my election.
00:48:25.000Consumer confidence has just reached amazing new highs.
00:48:31.000All of those millions of people with 401ks and pensions are doing far better than they have ever done before with increases of 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100% and even more.
00:49:17.000In other words, wealthy people and companies are pouring money into poor neighborhoods or areas that haven't seen investment in many decades, creating jobs, energy, and excitement.
00:50:39.000Our roaring economy... My African-American over there.
00:50:42.000...given many former prisoners the ability to get a great job and a fresh start.
00:50:48.000This second chance at life is made possible because we passed landmark criminal justice reform into law.
00:50:55.000Everybody said that criminal justice reform couldn't be done, but I got it done, and the people in this room got it done.
00:51:21.000This is like the African-American State of the Union.
00:51:26.000Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world, by far.
00:51:44.000With the tremendous progress we have made over the past three years, America is now energy independent and energy jobs, like so many other elements of our country, are at a record high.
00:52:07.000We are doing numbers that no one would have thought possible just three years ago.
00:52:11.000Likewise, we are restoring our nation's manufacturing might, even though predictions were, as you all know, that this could never, ever be done.
00:52:22.000After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my administration, with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or being built.
00:54:16.000MCA will create nearly 100,000 new high-paying American auto jobs and massively boost exports for our farmers, ranchers, and factory workers.
00:55:18.000Days ago, we signed the groundbreaking new agreement with China that will defend our workers, protect our intellectual property, bring billions and billions of dollars into our treasury, and open vast new markets for products made and grown right here in the USA.
00:55:48.000For decades, China has taken advantage of the United States.
00:55:54.000But at the same time, we have perhaps the best relationship we've ever had with China, including with President Xi.
00:56:02.000They respect what we've done because, quite frankly, they could never really believe that they were able to get away with what they were doing year after year, decade after decade, without someone in our country stepping up
00:59:25.000We have invested a record-breaking 2.2 trillion dollars in the United States military.
01:00:00.000I just, this whole thing, we'll get into it later.
01:00:03.000We have purchased the finest planes, missiles, rockets, ships, and every other form of military equipment, and it's all made right here in the USA.
01:00:22.000We are also getting our allies, finally, to help pay their fair share.
01:00:41.000I have raised contributions from other NATO members by more than $400 billion, and the number of Allies meeting their minimum obligations has more than doubled.
01:00:52.000And just weeks ago, for the first time since President Truman established the Air Force, more than 70 years earlier, we created a brand new branch of the United States Armed Forces.
01:03:23.000After more than 130 combat missions in World War II, he came back home to a country still struggling for civil rights and went on to serve America in Korea and Vietnam.
01:03:37.000On December 7th, Charles celebrated his 100th birthday.
01:04:07.000A few weeks ago, I signed a bill promoting Charles McGee to Brigadier General.
01:04:14.000And earlier today, I pinned the stars on his shoulders in the Oval Office.
01:04:46.000From the pilgrims to the founders, from the soldiers at Valley Forge to the marchers at Selma, and from President Lincoln to Reverend Martin Luther King, Americans have always rejected limits on our children's future.
01:05:04.000Members of Congress, we must never forget that the only victories that matter in Washington are victories that deliver for the American people.
01:05:30.000The people are the heart of our country, their dreams are the soul of our country, and their love is what powers and sustains our country.
01:05:41.000We must always remember that our job is to put America first.
01:06:03.000...in building an inclusive society is making sure that every young American gets a great education and the opportunity to achieve the American dream.
01:06:13.000Yet for too long, countless American children have been trapped in failing government schools.
01:06:20.000To rescue these students, 18 states have created school choice in the form of Opportunity Scholarships.
01:06:27.000The programs are so popular that tens of thousands of students remain on a waiting list.
01:06:34.000One of those students is Janiyah Davis, a fourth grader from Philadelphia.
01:07:00.000Janaya's mom, Stephanie, is a single parent.
01:07:04.000She would do anything to give her daughter a better future.
01:07:08.000But last year, that future was put further out of reach when Pennsylvania's governor vetoed legislation to expand school choice to 50,000 children.
01:07:20.000Janaya and Stephanie are in the gallery.
01:07:24.000Stephanie, thank you so much for being here with your beautiful daughter.
01:08:26.000Now I call on Congress to give 1 million American children the same opportunity Janiyah has just received.
01:08:34.000Pass the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunities Act because no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing government school.
01:08:59.000Every young person should have a safe and secure environment in which to learn and to grow.
01:09:05.000For this reason, our magnificent First Lady has launched the Be Best initiative to advance a safe, healthy, supportive, and drug-free life for the next generation online, in school, and in our communities.
01:09:21.000Thank you, Melania, for your extraordinary love and profound care for America's children.
01:09:40.000Seems like there's a little resentment there.
01:09:42.000I don't know if that's the media saying that, but...
01:09:47.000My administration is determined to give our citizens the opportunities they need, regardless of age or background.
01:09:55.000Through our Pledge to American Workers, over 400 companies will also provide new jobs and education opportunities to almost 15 million Americans.
01:10:06.000My budget also contains an exciting vision for our nation's high schools.
01:10:12.000Tonight, I ask Congress to support our students and back my plan to offer vocational and technical education in every single high school in America.
01:10:40.000To expand equal opportunity, I am also proud that we achieved record and permanent funding for our nation's historically black colleges and universities.
01:12:20.000The American patient should never be blindsided by medical bills.
01:12:24.000That is why I signed an executive order requiring price transparency.
01:12:39.000Many experts believe that transparency, which will go into full effect at the beginning of next year, will be even bigger than health care reform.
01:12:53.000It will save families massive amounts of money for substantially better care.
01:12:59.000But as we work to improve Americans' health care,
01:13:02.000There are those who want to take away your healthcare, take away your doctor, and abolish private insurance entirely.
01:13:13.000132 lawmakers in this room have endorsed legislation to impose a socialist takeover of our healthcare system, wiping out the private health insurance plans of 180 million very happy Americans.
01:13:32.000To those watching at home tonight, I want you to know we will never let socialism destroy American healthcare.
01:13:56.000Over 130 legislators in this chamber have endorsed legislation that would bankrupt our nation by providing free taxpayer-funded healthcare to millions of illegal aliens, forcing taxpayers to subsidize free care for anyone in the world who unlawfully crosses our borders.
01:15:16.000This will be a tremendous boon to our already very strongly guarded southern border, where, as we speak, a long, tall, and very powerful wall is being built.
01:15:39.000We have now completed over 100 miles and have over 500 miles fully completed in a very short period of time.
01:15:48.000Early next year, we will have substantially more than 500 miles completed.
01:15:55.000My administration is also taking on the big pharmaceutical companies.
01:16:00.000We have approved a record number of affordable generic drugs and medicines are being approved by the FDA at a faster clip than ever before.
01:16:17.000I hope that wasn't everything that there was about immigration, right?
01:16:21.000That seemed kind of like... And I was pleased to announce last year that for the first time in 51 years, the cost of prescription drugs actually went down.
01:16:31.000Because it seems like it was healthcare, and then they were going to immigration, and then it went back to healthcare.
01:16:39.000Congress can reduce drug prices substantially from current levels.
01:16:44.000I've been speaking to Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and others in Congress in order to get something on drug pricing done and done quickly and properly.
01:16:55.000I'm calling for bipartisan legislation that achieves the goal of dramatically lowering prescription drug prices.
01:17:03.000Get a bill on my desk and I will sign it into law immediately.
01:17:45.000Among the state's hardest hit, Ohio is down 22%, Pennsylvania is down 18%, Wisconsin is down 10%, and we will not quit until we have beaten the opioid epidemic once and for all.
01:18:15.000Protecting Americans' health also means fighting infectious diseases.
01:18:22.000We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China.
01:18:30.000My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.
01:18:36.000We have launched ambitious new initiatives to substantially improve care for Americans with kidney disease, Alzheimer's, and those struggling with mental health.
01:18:46.000And because Congress was so good as to fund my request, new cures for childhood cancer, and we will eradicate the AIDS epidemic in America by the end of this decade.
01:19:43.000Not the disease, but that he's at the State of the Union, I mean.
01:20:15.000And Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and that you inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
01:25:19.000Whether we are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God.
01:25:28.000As we support America's moms and dads, I was recently proud to sign the law providing new parents in the federal workforce paid family leave, serving as a model for the rest of the country.
01:25:45.000Look at that stupid bitch Nancy Pelosi.
01:25:58.000Now I call on Congress to pass the bipartisan Advancing Support for Working Families Act extending family leave to mothers and fathers all across our nation.
01:26:14.000Forty million American families have an average $2,200 extra thanks to our child tax credit.
01:26:32.000I've also overseen historic funding increases for high-quality child care, enabling 17 states to help more children, many of which have reduced or eliminated their wait lists altogether.
01:26:50.000And I sent Congress a plan with a vision to further expand access to high-quality child care and urge you to act immediately.
01:28:52.000Last year, our brave ICE officers arrested more than 120,000 criminal aliens charged with nearly 10,000 burglaries, 5,000 sexual assaults, 45,000 violent assaults, and 2,000 murders.
01:29:10.000Tragically, there are many cities in America where radical politicians have chosen to provide sanctuary for these criminal, illegal aliens.
01:29:21.000In sanctuary cities, local officials order police to release dangerous criminal aliens to prey upon the public instead of handing them over to ICE to be safely removed.
01:29:33.000Just 29 days ago, a criminal alien freed by the sanctuary city of New York was charged with the brutal rape and murder of a 92-year-old woman.
01:29:45.000The killer had been previously arrested for assault, but under New York sanctuary policies, he was set free.
01:29:53.000If the city had honored ICE's detainer request, his victim would still be alive today.
01:30:01.000The state of California passed an outrageous law declaring their whole state to be a sanctuary for criminal, illegal immigrants.
01:30:11.000A very terrible sanctuary, with catastrophic results.
01:32:00.000Senator Tom Tillis has introduced legislation to allow Americans like Jody to sue sanctuary cities and states when a loved one is hurt or killed as a result of these deadly practices.
01:32:49.000In the last three years, ICE has arrested over 5,000 wicked human traffickers, and I have signed nine pieces of legislation to stamp out the menace of human trafficking domestically and all around the globe.
01:33:02.000My administration has undertaken an unprecedented effort to secure the southern border of the United States.
01:33:16.000Before I came into office, if you showed up illegally on our southern border and were arrested, you were simply released and allowed into our country, never to be seen again.
01:33:27.000My administration has ended catch and release.
01:34:44.000Over the last 24 months, Agent Ortiz and his team have seized more than 200,000 pounds of poisonous narcotics, arrested more than 3,000 human smugglers, and rescued more than 2,000 migrants.
01:34:59.000Days ago, Agent Ortiz was promoted to Deputy Chief of Border Patrol, and he joins us tonight.
01:35:38.000To build on these historic gains, we are working on legislation to replace our outdated and randomized immigration system with one based on merit, welcoming those who follow the rules, contribute to our economy, support themselves financially, and uphold our values.
01:38:28.000In reaffirming our heritage as a free nation, we must remember that America has always been a frontier nation.
01:38:37.000Now we must embrace the next frontier, America's manifest destiny in the stars.
01:38:44.000I am asking Congress to fully fund the Artemis program to ensure that the next man and the first woman on the moon will be American astronauts, using this as a launching pad to ensure that America is the first nation to plant its flag on Mars.
01:39:12.000My administration is also strongly defending our national security and combating radical Islamic terrorism.
01:39:24.000That doesn't even happen anymore in America.
01:39:32.000Last week I announced a groundbreaking plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
01:39:38.000Recognizing that all past attempts have failed, we must be determined and creative in order to stabilize the region and give millions of young people the chance to realize a better future.
01:39:49.000Three years ago, the barbarians of ISIS held over 20,000 square miles of territory in Iraq and Syria.
01:39:58.000Today, the ISIS territorial caliphate has been 100% destroyed, and the founder and leader of ISIS, the bloodthirsty killer known as al-Baghdadi, is dead.
01:40:52.000What my life's work is, using my hands as tools to relieve suffering.
01:40:59.000In 2013, while caring for suffering civilians in Syria, Kayla was kidnapped, tortured, and enslaved by ISIS and kept as a prisoner of al-Baghdadi himself.
01:41:12.000After more than 500 horrifying days of captivity, al-Baghdadi
01:41:22.000She was just 26 years old on the night that U.S.
01:41:26.000Special Forces operations ended al-Baghdadi's miserable life.
01:41:31.000The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, received a call in the Situation Room.
01:41:38.000He was told that the brave men of the elite Special Forces team that so perfectly carried out the operation had given their mission a name, Task Force 814.
01:41:53.000It was a reference to a special day, August 14th, Kayla's birthday.
01:41:59.000Carl and Marcia, America's warriors never forgot Kayla, and neither will we.
01:43:19.000On Easter Sunday of 2008, Chris was out on patrol in Baghdad when his Bradley fighting vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.
01:43:29.000That night, he made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
01:43:34.000Sergeant Haig now rests in eternal glory in Arlington, and his wife Kelly is in the gallery tonight, joined by their son, who is now a 13-year-old
01:45:57.000In recent months, we have seen proud Iranians raise their voices against their oppressive rulers.
01:46:03.000The Iranian regime must abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons, stop spreading terror, death, and destruction, and start working for the good of its own people.
01:46:15.000Because of our powerful sanctions, the Iranian economy is doing very, very poorly.
01:46:20.000We can help them make a very good and short-time recovery.
01:46:26.000It can all go very quickly, but perhaps they are too proud or too foolish to ask for that help.
01:46:47.000As we defend American lives, we are working to end America's wars in the Middle East.
01:46:52.000In Afghanistan, the determination and valor of our warfighters has allowed us to make tremendous progress, and peace talks are now underway.
01:47:03.000I am not looking to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan.
01:47:10.000It is also not our function to serve other nations as law enforcement agencies.
01:47:18.000These are warfighters that we have, the best in the world, and they either want to fight to win or not fight at all.
01:47:26.000We are working to finally end America's longest war
01:47:30.000It's so funny to me when he says that, like, the only way for us to win is for me to kill everyone in Afghanistan and I don't want to do that.
01:50:54.000As the world bears witness tonight, America is a land of heroes.
01:50:59.000This is a place where greatness is born.
01:51:02.000Where destinies are forged and where legends come to life.
01:51:07.000This is the home of Thomas Edison and Teddy Roosevelt, of many great generals, including Washington, Pershing, Patton, and MacArthur.
01:51:17.000This is the home of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, the Wright Brothers, Neil Armstrong, and so many more.
01:51:53.000The American nation was carved out of the vast frontier by the toughest, strongest, fiercest, and most determined men and women ever to walk on the face of the earth.
01:52:05.000Our ancestors braved the unknown, tamed the wilderness, settled the Wild West, lifted millions from poverty, disease, and hunger,
01:52:15.000Vanquished tyranny and fascism, ushered the world to new heights of science and medicine, laid down the railroads, dug out the canals, raised up the skyscrapers, and ladies and gentlemen, our ancestors built the most exceptional republic ever to exist in all of human history, and we are making it greater than ever before.
01:55:54.000We clocked about 80 minutes, somewhere around there, for the State of the Union address.
01:56:01.000My initial reaction, I have to say I enjoyed it.
01:56:03.000I have to say I enjoyed it quite a bit.
01:56:05.000You know, I thought it was off to a bit of a rocky start, and there were obviously some moments in there
01:56:10.000that we could do without and this is really nitpicking when you're talking about praising all men are created equal and Frederick Douglass and so on but beyond some of the small things and getting off to a slow start I thought it was a I thought it was a good State of the Union from the perspective of what it was intended to do which is to unify the Republican Party and also to make the case before the election.
01:57:30.000Sort of part by part the entire speech.
01:57:32.000I'm not going to, you know, redo the whole thing, but a quick summary.
01:57:37.000He talked a lot about the economy in the beginning, and then briefly about trade, talked about foreign policy, school, health care, the environment.
01:57:48.000There was about one line about the trees, a little bit about infrastructure, law enforcement, some miscellaneous things in the Middle East.
01:57:59.000I have to say, probably the two biggest portions of the speech were about the economy and healthcare, which was a bit of an interesting choice.
01:58:08.000This is something that I've... We can get rid of this, I think, at this point.
01:58:11.000We can get rid of this and go back to normal here.
02:00:06.000So, like I said, the two biggest portions of the speech were about the economy and about health care, which, as I said, is an interesting choice.
02:00:15.000This is something we've been talking about on the show for a while now, which is, what is the pitch for 2020?
02:00:22.000I think we have to look at the State of the Union in the context of
02:00:37.000And the focus on the economy is a bit troubling to me.
02:00:40.000We've known that this has been the pitch for some time.
02:00:42.000If you watch his speeches, if you watch the rallies that have been taking place over the past so many months, the midterm elections, which was a little bit over a year ago,
02:00:54.000The strongest and most forceful issue that he's pushing is the economy, which I don't know if that's a great idea.
02:01:02.000You know, in this speech that was the most prominent topic.
02:01:04.000Maybe the first half hour was dedicated not simply to talking about the economy, but just a recitation of all the numbers.
02:01:13.000He talked about unemployment being low, talked about record high net worth, talked about unemployment's low for everybody and growth is great and so on.
02:01:27.000Talking about oil and natural gas trade is a part of that as well.
02:01:32.000And you know, all of that's great and everything, but in my view, I don't believe Donald Trump was elected because of the economy.
02:01:41.000I don't think that's as strong of a pitch as he thinks it is.
02:01:46.000From my perception, and I am a very conservative person so I'm not the norm actually for the country and for even most Republicans because I'm very conservative, but what distinguished Donald Trump from the rest of the field in the primary
02:02:01.000And what distinguished him from Hillary Clinton was that nationalism versus globalism dichotomy.
02:02:07.000Not necessarily a liberal versus conservative or capitalist versus socialist, but nationalist versus globalist.
02:02:16.000Trade, foreign policy, and immigration.
02:02:19.000Specifically, ending free trade and free trade deals.
02:02:24.000Ending the foreign wars and limiting immigration, and specifically cracking down on illegal immigration.
02:02:31.000That really wasn't covered so much here.
02:02:33.000Trade was mentioned briefly, and that was fine.
02:02:37.000Foreign policy was talked about briefly at the end, but there really wasn't a forceful call to end the wars.
02:02:43.000Wasn't very forceful, wasn't prolonged.
02:02:46.000And immigration was talked about from a law enforcement perspective.
02:02:50.000There was a pledge for 500 miles of wall, and there was a discussion of some of the good things that are happening with illegal immigration.
02:02:57.000So it's not to say that none of these things were mentioned.
02:02:59.000It's not that there aren't achievements on all these issues, because there are, and they were discussed during the speech.
02:03:21.000And healthcare is an important issue, don't get me wrong, but it's also one the Democrats are very strong on.
02:03:25.000I'll say that if the nominee ends up being Bernie Sanders, it'll be a little bit different.
02:03:30.000Healthcare is going to be a very strong card that we can play, protecting Medicare, protecting Social Security, protecting private health plans and all that, so it is a little bit contingent on who the nominee will be, but I will say that I don't believe healthcare is a strong suit for Republicans.
02:03:47.000It may be if we're going up against a single-payer candidate or something like that, but generally speaking, how does that really align with the priorities of the conservatives that got Donald Trump in office?
02:03:59.000So, the focus on the economy, the focus on health care, I think it's dubious whether or not that'll be as effective as Trump thinks it is, because that was the focus in 2018.
02:04:10.000The big pitch in 2018 was not really so much immigration, trade, or foreign wars.
02:04:36.000So if we talk about how great the economy is and specifically how great it is for minorities, well that will depress Democrat turnout or it'll cause lots of Republicans to turn out.
02:04:48.000That's what they think will happen if they push the economy.
02:04:52.000Clearly in practice that didn't work in 2018.
02:04:57.000What works is activating your base without activating the other side.
02:05:03.000The Democrats' base is activated simply because Trump is in office and because of cultural things, because of things like immigration, actually, and the environment for them and their core partisan issues.
02:05:17.000That's what activates the Democrat base.
02:05:26.000They ran on climate, they ran on kids in cages, all of this.
02:05:31.000And Republicans ran on the economy and they got creamed and turnout wasn't very good.
02:05:35.000Versus what would the turnout look like if we hit our core issues, which might be immigration, ending foreign wars, trade.
02:05:42.000I think that would maybe produce a better result.
02:05:45.000So we'll see how that goes this time around.
02:05:48.000I don't think that's a very compelling thing to run on.
02:05:51.000I think what was different about Trump is that he was an outsider and so wasn't concerned so much about these macroeconomic figures because at the end of the day that's what he's reciting when he talks about the economy is macroeconomic figures that really don't give a terrific insight into the economy.
02:06:12.000And net worth and poverty and food stamps.
02:06:14.000This is all great, I guess, generally speaking.
02:06:17.000But, you know, if you look at where Trump is losing the most in the swing states, and what's going to hurt him the most, it's
02:06:24.000College educated whites, or rather non-college educated whites and whites in general, in a lot of these states where manufacturing is dying and industry is moving away, these macroeconomic indicators are not showing that the pain is still there.
02:06:38.000It's not showing that for a lot of people,
02:06:41.000The tax cuts a lot of economic growth is not they're not really feeling it in the same way that they might be on Wall Street.
02:06:46.000It's not to say that the economy is not good because the economy is good and is getting better and all of that but we're talking about a structural change that is taking place because of globalization.
02:06:57.000You know, in other words, you might have your town completely hollowed out and destroyed because of outsourcing and they're bringing in new workers and all these different processes have been happening over the last three decades.
02:07:11.000And so they're not really feeling in the same way a stock market boom in the same way that everybody else is.
02:07:17.000They're not feeling these unemployment figures in specific towns where a big company has left.
02:07:23.000You know, Tucker Carlson did a story about that town.
02:07:36.000It was one of those... What kind of store was it?
02:07:41.000I hardly even remember the entire example, but maybe you know what I'm talking about.
02:07:45.000In towns where it's dependent on like one major factory or one major employer, Tucker did a big show about a specific instance like this.
02:07:52.000I'm just trying to remember it off the fly.
02:07:54.000It didn't really work out, but you know,
02:07:55.000We all know a town like this where it's a small town and maybe you have one factory, one plant that employs 2,000 people and it's the whole town.
02:08:03.000And that plan goes away, or it gets outsourced, or whatever, and all the jobs evaporate, and the town's dead.
02:08:09.000And everybody's stuck there, they can't move out.
02:08:11.000So, for people like that, and for people that are affected by things like that, does this booming economy, is that really a great pitch for them?
02:08:20.000Not in the same way that trade specifically, and immigration specifically, are.
02:08:24.000So, I will say, that's my only big complaint.
02:08:29.000Over the course of the whole State of the Union, my only real complaint is that maybe, again, the focus on the economy is misguided.
02:08:38.000And it's obviously part of this bigger pattern of Trump focusing on the economy for his re-election.
02:08:43.000But, aside from that, I think every issue was a winner.
02:08:48.000You know, even if the economy is not the smartest priority, it's not the best thing to focus on for the election, he should talk about the economy.
02:08:56.000Even if I don't necessarily agree that that should be the focus, that should be front and center, and the longest, and the most prominent, he should talk about the economy, because the economy is really good.
02:09:06.000And, you know, you're watching the president read off, and the figures are universally excellent.
02:09:11.000Almost every figure is, you know, best X in history, lowest this in history, highest this in history.
02:09:17.000It's all, like, record-breaking best economy, and that's because it's deregulation, it's tax cuts.
02:09:22.000You know, it's not a complicated formula for how to achieve economic growth.
02:10:40.000He talked about how he reversed his policy on Cuba, which was striking, because we have not heard about Cuba for years, I feel like.
02:10:50.000I don't think that's a very important thing.
02:10:52.000Of course, that is a play for voters in Florida.
02:10:55.000You know, that's why he's saying that he had Juan Guaido, the legitimate president of Venezuela, as a guest, and I don't know what was wrong with him.
02:11:04.000He looked like he was on drugs or he was autistic or something.
02:11:08.000Wasn't really all the way there, but that was part of President Trump talking about the Western Hemisphere in particular, which, again, you know what this is about.
02:11:41.000I don't know how effective that will be, but playing up this Latin American freedom fighter narrative, I believe that the president believes that this will help him in Florida, where you've got the Cubans, and it'll help him with Hispanics elsewhere.
02:11:55.000So I think that's what he was going for with that.
02:11:57.000Talked about the Space Force, the military being upgraded,
02:12:04.000Talked about schools, talked about school choice, which is good, I guess.
02:12:09.000You know, a lot of these items in the State of the Union, it's just sort of like a kitchen sink idea, where it's like, whatever, school choice, you know, I'll just kind of throw everything out there, because as far as I know, education was never a huge part of this platform.
02:12:23.000Obviously, every president has a comprehensive platform with policies for everything, but
02:12:28.000I mean, as far as I know, he didn't really run on education.
02:12:31.000Education hasn't been a big part of his legislative agenda.
02:12:34.000But he did spend a somewhat considerable amount of time, all that considered, talking about school choice, vocational training, technical training.
02:13:08.000He trotted out this black veteran who was homeless and addicted to drugs and then he got a job.
02:13:14.000Oh, well, we all have to start somewhere, right?
02:13:16.000So he brought that guy out, obvious pandering.
02:13:18.000He brought out a single mother, you know, another surprising shocker, shocker of the evening, I think.
02:13:24.000That was more surprising than the veteran making the surprised appearance coming home to visit his wife and kids.
02:13:29.000The single mom with her daughter, of course, they are black for school choice, pandering there, talking about funding for black schools, pandering there, you know, so it's pandering for blacks, and then it was pandering for Hispanics in the form of the Caribbean stuff, so, you know, that's why I was kind of shaking my head throughout the first 30-40 minutes of the speech, because it was just
02:13:52.000Naked pandering to minorities who are not going to vote for this president.
02:13:56.000If Pete Buttigieg is a nominee, maybe you'll win the blacks.
02:14:08.000So, to me, I see these things and it's like, you know, it doesn't cost us anything to pander in that way.
02:14:15.000I mean, you're not going to lose voters because of that.
02:14:19.000Even conservative Republicans, white conservative Republicans, eat that shit up, because they would love to believe that we are the party of not racism, and the Democrats are the party of racism, you know, so we're not going to lose any votes for pandering to minorities.
02:14:33.000But you're really not going to gain any of them either, so I guess it's like a, it's a strategy which does not cost you anything, but potentially could gain you something, so from an electoral perspective, I don't really have a problem with it.
02:14:45.000I don't think it's something that's really worthwhile, but then again, it doesn't really hurt us, so... Why not?
02:15:14.000So that first part was sort of pandering, then he went on to healthcare, talked about protecting pre-existing conditions, Medicare, Social Security, protecting private insurance from socialism.
02:15:58.000Based on healthcare, is extremely powerful.
02:16:01.000You know, saying you're going to protect people with pre-existing conditions, saying you're going to protect Medicare, and you're going to protect Social Security, and you're going to protect private insurance, that's all extremely important electorally, because what you're talking about with Medicare, Social Security, and private insurance, generally, is your seniors, 65 and up, which are very reliable voters, specifically for Republicans, but also even on the left.
02:16:26.000And this is critical for this election because if the nominee ends up being Bernie Sanders, and Bernie Sanders says, I'm going to outlaw private insurance and everyone's going to be on Medicare, well, this is going to be a huge play.
02:16:39.000This is why I think it's one of Bernie Sanders' weaknesses.
02:16:42.000This will be a huge play then for center voters, for left-wing voters, even in some cases, for people that are not on board with Medicare for All, people that are not on board with universal health care or government-funded universal health care.
02:16:56.000And in that way, when the president says, I'll protect your health care from socialism, that's a lot different from saying America will never be a socialist nation.
02:17:06.000That's a lot different from the turning point rhetoric about scaremongering about socialism, because socialized medicine is a threat to people's health care.
02:17:15.000If they have a private health plan, or if they're on Medicare,
02:17:18.000And people care a lot that their health care is taken care of.
02:17:21.000So, saying you'll protect your health care from socialism, to me, that is perfectly legitimate.
02:17:29.000That is something that has a clear electoral benefit.
02:17:31.000You know, saying in the grand scheme of things, Venezuela will never become Venezuela, you know, that to me is a little bit cringe and not really on message.
02:17:39.000It's not directionally where we need to be in a very general, like,
02:17:43.000Meta-political, ideological sense, but talking about healthcare and keeping the socialist way from healthcare?
02:19:55.000Now, it's all very symbolic, I understand, and again, it's another thing that cost him nothing, but to me, that was a clear embrace of his base, and I'll take it, and I like that.
02:20:09.000The environment he talked about 1 million trees or 1 trillion trees initiative that was very brief But you know good that he threw something in there for the environment talked about infrastructure Then he talked about law enforcement, which is really more about illegal immigration.
02:20:22.000This was great talked about sanctuary cities He had that guest whose brother had been killed by illegal immigrants had a border patrol deputy chief talked about the wall going up sanctuary cities said we should outlaw that and
02:20:37.000He said that he ended catch and release, talked about the cooperation agreements with the Northern Triangle countries and Mexico.
02:20:43.000Pretty good record on illegal immigration, which we've been talking about for the past few months.
02:20:48.000And he tried it out, all those accomplishments, and they're all legitimate.
02:20:51.000You know, that was all very good, so...
02:20:54.000You know, they talked a little bit more about that tonight than last year, I think, but not really enough about immigration.
02:21:00.000I'm gonna be honest with you, I wish you would have spent a little bit more time on immigration, about the invasion that's happening and all that.
02:21:07.000I just feel like as much as this speech, there wasn't really much in there that offended me and everything was basically good,
02:21:14.000It just feels like the priorities are all mixed up.
02:21:16.000That's really kind of my overriding criticism, is that to me when I watch Trump's election speeches or his announcement speech back in 2015 or the speeches he gave during the campaign,
02:21:29.000They were all about immigration and trade and ending the wars.
02:21:34.000And it was really a lot about building the wall.
02:21:36.000Building the wall, getting illegals out, the transformation of the country, that America's no longer America.
02:21:43.000I feel like it's just not hitting that message anymore.
02:21:45.000You know, saying that we're gonna get rid of illegal immigrants under the guise of law enforcement to me is like so milquetoast.
02:21:53.000That's about the most moderate, least controversial way that you could present it.
02:21:57.000And I don't know if that's a good thing.
02:22:00.000You know, because he's not hitting that message anymore of demographic replacement, of cultural transformation.
02:22:07.000Even if he was hitting that implicitly in 2015 and 2016, he's not hitting that at all anymore.
02:22:14.000He's basically adopted in terms of the framework, the scaffolding,
02:22:19.000It is a normie mainstream conservative platform and he's found ways to retool some of these nationalist items into the framework, into this scaffolding which is mainstream conservatism.
02:23:17.000I'm not electing, I don't want to elect Trump to arrest illegal immigrants because that's like more law enforcement, because that's an extension of like the thin blue line in supporting cops.
02:23:44.000And frankly, even the same is true with foreign policy to an extent.
02:23:47.000So that's maybe my one criticism is we took a completely outsider's message, a realignment message, realignment
02:23:57.000Realignment, which says that the Republican priorities are now nationalism, and it's going to be immigration trade, and foreign policy, and now it's turned it into, it is an establishment message, it's a mainstream conservative message, and the priorities are the economy, law enforcement, and healthcare.
02:24:28.000That it's like, if Trump hit all these issues back in 2015 it would have been the same, but he would have changed the framing of them, like the overall theme of them, and the proportionate or relational size.
02:24:42.000The priorities of these issues would be wildly different.
02:24:54.000We want these trade deals to go away because we want a pro-growth economy.
02:24:59.000Well, I mean, we want a pro-growth economy, but I thought it was about giving the finger to globalist NGOs and the WTO and China and all these other people.
02:25:11.000Not because we want, like, low unemployment, but because we want to rebuild manufacturing and we want to have an America First policy, right?
02:25:22.000He went into some miscellaneous items, talked about federal judges, right-to-praying schools, Second Amendment, going to the moon, Mars, you know, now we're just throwing everything out there.
02:25:31.000Talked about the Middle East, Islamic terrorism, Israel and Palestine, ISIS.
02:25:35.000We had some great moments with the guests during this one.
02:25:38.000You know, you had the girl who was killed and her parents.
02:25:41.000That was a powerful, emotional moment.
02:25:44.000You had the son and the wife of the soldier who was killed in battle.
02:25:50.000I was tearing up a little bit, honestly, when that happened.
02:25:54.000But then, and this was tricky, he took these two tragedies, ISIS killing this girl and this guy being killed ostensibly by the IRGC, and spun that into regime change rhetoric.
02:26:08.000Like, I would have much preferred if he took the girl being killed by ISIS and this guy being killed in Afghanistan or Iraq, wherever it was,
02:26:16.000And saying like, okay now it's time to end the wars.
02:26:34.000You know, he said, well this guy, look at this guy who was slain, look at his wife and daughter, or his wife and son rather, when we killed him, and we'll continue fucking up Iran, because it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa!
02:26:48.000We took this heartfelt message about the needless and unnecessary loss of American lives overseas, and instead of pivoting to, and that's why we should stop having them overseas, to, we need to go kill more people, and avenge more people, and
02:27:16.000He said, you know, I killed Qasem Soleimani, but he also said it's totally up to Iran.
02:27:21.000He said we can invest in their economy, we'd like to make a deal, but they have to stop their nuclear weapon.
02:27:26.000I think that proves time and time again that I am right about his Iran policy.
02:27:31.000As much as I hate to see the killing of Qasem Soleimani because I thought that was so reckless, as much as I hate to see this waving the bloody shirt in support of war,
02:27:40.000And as much as I don't like that we're not out of the Middle East yet, and I didn't hear a very strong pitch for getting us out, I have been right about the Iran policy, which is that it's brinksmanship, is what I've been saying for years.
02:27:54.000The dual containment of North Korea and Iran by threatening military force, these occasional symbolic strikes, and the maximum economic campaign, the maximum sanction campaign,
02:28:06.000Give up your nukes and we'll invest in you.
02:28:27.000And I think that's a fine foreign policy.
02:28:29.000As long as we're not going to war, I'm fine with that.
02:28:32.000As long as we don't have a ground war, you know, economic sanctions are fine to me.
02:28:37.000I mean, this is a very low-cost way of trying to get countries to cooperate with our interests.
02:28:42.000I will just say that I didn't love that we took this waving the bloody shirt moment and instead of pivoting towards end the wars, it really was ambiguous.
02:28:50.000It was more towards we'll go to war with Iran if need be.
02:28:55.000That said, what he said about with Iran was, we'll make a deal, which again is indicative of the containment approach, which is not the end of the world.
02:29:03.000He then did talk about this wife and the two kids.
02:29:31.000I didn't really hear of an extremely compelling call to action to end the war and I was disappointed because, and it goes back to the priorities, one of your biggest pitches for 2020 should be ending the wars.
02:29:43.000That has been big in every election since 2008.
02:29:47.000Barack Obama got elected promising that.
02:30:04.000In general, every note that he hit was right on a very technical level.
02:30:08.000You know, school choice, protecting Medicare, protecting pre-existing conditions, no healthcare for illegals, no late-term abortion, Rush Limbaugh.
02:30:16.000I mean, every note there was good, okay?
02:30:18.000And there were a lot of powerful moments, there was a lot of... It was really compelling and a moving speech, I thought.
02:30:23.000And one that will appeal not just to conservatives, but also people in the middle, and probably also a lot of left-wing people.
02:30:29.000And I'll say that nobody, I don't think anybody on the Democratic stage watching a speech like that can compete with the President as a candidate.
02:30:38.000All that being said, it's really... We've lost our way here.
02:30:42.000This was like, it was good, but in a perfunctory way.
02:30:46.000In a way that it was safe, it didn't take so many risks, which I don't know, I mean maybe that's a good thing, maybe you want that, but this is not a nationalist, outsider, dissident,
02:30:58.000campaign that we had in 2016, which maybe you know that by now.
02:31:02.000We've kind of been seeing this for the past three years like no shit, right?
02:31:42.000I mean, this is just not really an extremely compelling message for me as a conservative.
02:31:47.000It's emotionally compelling, a lot of the guests, and there were some good moments, and he's presidential, and it distracts from impeachment, and so on, but is this something that really says, I'm excited to go out to the polls in 2020?
02:31:59.000I mean, there was like a little bit in there for everybody, but who was it written for?
02:32:02.000It was kind of written with, like, literally every constituency in mind.
02:32:06.000Old people, blacks, Hispanics, women, you know, every s- vets.
02:32:11.000It was written for kind of everybody and I don't really feel like he was playing enough to his base here.
02:32:16.000Maybe that's not the time, maybe we'll see a rally and he'll be more like that, but honestly it's part of the, like I said, it's this bigger pattern that what he thinks will win
02:32:26.000And I'm sure what Jared Kushner told him, and I'm sure what, uh, who's the campaign manager?
02:33:08.000Because he promised that he would bring the troops home, and he's just going to have his you-know-what in his hands in 2020, when Bernie or whoever it is says, I want to bring the troops home.
02:33:20.000I think it was a strong, I think it was a good speech.
02:33:23.000I thought he hit a lot of the right notes, and like I said, there were some very emotional moments, but I thought it was kind of just like adequate, perfunctory.
02:33:31.000These are the words that come to mind.
02:33:32.000Did he really knock it out of the park on the issues that matter to me?
02:33:35.000I mean, there was some stuff in there that I love.
02:33:38.000I love when he talks about American history, and he does do that.
02:33:41.000If you watch his rallies, if you watch even his previous inauguration, his previous State of the Union speeches,
02:33:48.000He tends to talk a lot about these historical things and the frontier and Davy Crockett and Wyatt Earp and all this, and that always hits me in the right place whenever he does that.
02:33:59.000But, I mean, outside of that kind of pandering, which wears off after a few minutes, it's like, what really did he hit as far as the issues go for me?
02:34:06.000Well, he said one line about building the wall.
02:34:10.000He said a few things about Sanctuary City.
02:34:49.000That's where the economy message comes from.
02:34:53.000We cannot appeal to working class non-whites with a right-wing nationalist cultural message, so we'll appeal to working class non-whites and working class whites with just a strictly economic message.
02:35:04.000But it's really not even that strong of a working class message.
02:35:13.000It's really like a pro-business with these macroeconomic figures.
02:35:17.000It'd be one thing if he made the highlight of the economic message the paid maternity leave and the trade deals and maybe even go further than that.
02:35:24.000Maybe go really to the center on economics.
02:35:27.000But of course the emphasis was on unemployment and GDP and these kinds of things.
02:35:33.000So, all of that being said, it's just not the transformational presidency that we need.
02:35:38.000It's just become sort of like an adequate, better-than-average Republican administration as opposed to a truly transformative, like, outsider administration.
02:35:48.000And I think we saw that on full display here in the State of the Union.
02:35:51.000So, you know, don't get me wrong, good speech, and I think it's good for our electoral purposes in some ways, but I'm just not loving the direction this has been going in.
02:36:02.000It's just not exactly what we had in mind when we got this all started back in 2016.
02:37:36.000Can we give this african-american a round of applause?
02:37:38.000He got a job Congrats, that's that's big stuff Eros has ever read left-wing books that are based on Left-wing books that are based not to my knowledge a lot of the Marxist stuff can be kind of based actually on
02:37:55.000And there are some leftists who became based like Christopher lash is one that comes to mind Alasdair MacIntyre, and there's some Marxist stuff.
02:38:03.000That's that's pretty good as well I'm not a Marxist, but some of their books are based broseph says af-pak is a huge step is bleppe finally rising and
02:38:13.000Yes, Black Bay's rising, AFPAC is, yeah, it's a big step.
02:38:17.000It's very important to establish these institutional things and if AFPAC goes well this year, we'll do it next year and we'll make it bigger and better and we'll have more speakers and we'll make it maybe more days and fundraise.
02:39:07.000What's the relevance of the Ted Kaczynski pill?
02:39:11.000Well, if you've read his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, I don't agree with its prescriptions for what we need to do, obviously, but the critiques about technology are correct, and more than that, what's correct is the criticism of leftism itself, talking about over socialization, and what else was leftism?
02:39:33.000Leftism, he said, is defined by over socialization,
02:39:39.000I forget what the second trait was but he really hits a nail on the head with leftism and about the relationship between technology and the consolidation of power in the country.
02:39:48.000So I think everybody should read the essay.
02:39:51.000I think the idea that we're going to become a primitivist society or that we'll bring that about through
02:40:05.000I think civilization means technology, and I don't think there's a really good way to stop or reverse technology.
02:40:12.000I also don't believe that, like, AI is gonna get too out of control or anything, so...
02:40:18.000I'm not I'm not like one of these people who thinks you should be in loincloths and like Tarzan and everything Peanut Arbuckle says all this talk of black cubes and Saturn the real red pillow searching cornstarch on YouTube
02:40:31.000Okay, Shinny says, great show last night, love the longer ones.
02:41:20.000I don't know where people get this idea.
02:41:22.000They see the far left and they see, like, this illusory, like, Aryan Chad who is just, like, left-wing on economics but is based everywhere else, and they're like, we can join hands!
02:41:34.000It's like, no, but what's actually on the other side is faggots, women,
02:41:40.000Antifa like the worst of the worst sick degenerate disgusting pedophiles satanists abortionists People think that those guys are our friends.
02:41:50.000Well, that's that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard our joke says you literally can't stop defending China.
02:41:56.000She has no memory of China Can't she be American?
02:41:59.000Yeah, I see her defending China on the timeline a lot.
02:43:50.000And the same is true with everybody else.
02:43:53.000Okay, okay, you know black Americans if you really have if you're so American you have no connection to Africa if we're the same Then I'm sure you won't mind me talking about how Africa is illiterate.
02:44:05.000They don't have written language They don't build buildings and so on.
02:44:08.000No, they get very sensitive about that.
02:44:10.000I wonder why Why it says a lot of you guys need to take the Saturn pill very true.
02:44:38.000I think the cowboy kind of went away like a hundred and some years ago.
02:44:42.000If you're still wearing cowboy hats and boots in 2020, I think you're kind of a larper.
02:44:46.000If you're not like a rancher yourself or a farmer, I see this a lot.
02:44:51.000Like there's this guy on CRTV named Chad Prather who, you know, he seems like he's based enough as far as like boomer conservatives go, but I see him on a show and he's wearing a giant cowboy hat.
02:46:32.000I'm sure there are some people that are still doing the work of cowboys, but you know, I think a lot of people are sort of just dragging that tradition out a little bit.
02:48:37.000It's like, I don't love the cucking for Israel, obviously.
02:48:41.000I don't love that we're not where we need to be on immigration, but when you see the Democratic debates, when you see the Democratic primary, when you see Trump and really everything he represents, even if he doesn't perfectly actualize it in policy,
02:48:55.000And you see the roaring applause for for Donald Trump, six foot three, wants to get rid of immigration, you know, as based as he might be inside without these cringe policies.
02:49:06.000And I and I feel it and I'd like to feel it.
02:49:08.000I'd like to participate in the feeling of this, you know what I mean?
02:49:11.000I don't understand people that can't for two seconds get over themselves and kind of like see the bigger moment, kind of see the bigger picture, kind of like feel it.
02:49:21.000I'm not, don't get me wrong, I'm not naive about any of these things.
02:49:24.000I'm not naive about what Trump is actually doing and our prospects for, like, real reform or anything like that.
02:49:31.000But, at the same time, while I'm not naive, I can participate.
02:49:36.000I can sort of get into the feeling of it.
02:50:28.000Brocif says cool symbols to the right and left of Trump.
02:50:31.000Yeah, ha ha ha ha Dude, that's so funny.
02:50:34.000So based BB's is how did you feel about the corporate tax cuts?
02:50:38.000I mean, they're good, but we needed middle-class tax cuts as well I think there should be a corporate tax cut the corporate tax rate was too high It's 30 some percent
02:50:49.000So, it needed to be cut and, you know, I don't have the zero-sum mentality of, well, we have to hurt corporations and help the middle class.
02:51:00.000Well, we can help everybody, you know, and helping businesses does ultimately help the country, but that should have happened with a tax cut for the middle class.
02:56:32.000I don't know what that means exactly Wagee rages crossbow sucks and modern warfare Suleimani killed thousands of us after we invaded that justifies starting World War three Okay, I don't agree with that logic
02:56:45.000Hoopla says after speech Trump should tear off his shirt.
02:56:48.000Yeah, that would be funny and hilarious.
02:56:50.000Himes says daddy coming home was a tearjerker.
03:00:12.000I don't think that's outside the realm of possibility.
03:00:14.000So I think at this point the race is very much in flux as of yesterday because Biden obviously completely the floor fell out from under him and Bernie is shaking up the race.
03:01:43.000That was a rumor that Jack Posobiec reported, so if it happened, that'd be a good thing, but I think like many other executive orders, I don't know if that'll ever see the light of day.
03:01:52.000Announces blagues it will be real if the Dems run Buddha judge.
03:01:55.000She had Trump be a racist, but he a playa I ain't voting for no gay cracker Yeah, that's probably I don't know if they'll vote for Trump, but they're not gonna vote for Buddha judge.
03:02:03.000They'll probably just stay home So yeah, no joke.
03:02:07.000They will there will be a brexit of Buddha judge because it's true the blacks blacks don't like homosexuals Everyone knows that that's why they won't vote for him nobody wants to say that but that's that's everyone knows that's why I
03:02:20.000So, no black man would vote for a white, uh, white homo.
03:03:53.000That guy, you know, it's like some some like AZ some totally fake with no source AZ quotes on Google images AZ quote, you know, and it's always misattributed or it's just I'm like ridiculous thing Did you know that Thomas Jefferson warned about communism in America?
03:04:12.000You know what America must fear is communism Thomas Jefferson AZ quote brainy quote, you know, that's always the case.
03:04:51.000You know, grandma, grandpa, your boomer parents are like, yup, yup, yup, that's exactly, yup, you said it, that's, and you're right, and you're right, what's happening, yup, that's true.
03:05:14.000Underscore that's what I think of when I you know, maybe you know what I'm talking about.
03:05:19.000Maybe you don't but I See that I got a shit all the time and you know exactly what I'm talking about.
03:05:26.000It's like You know, it's and it's it's always misattributed, you know, it's like Khrushchev
03:05:32.000Khrushchev said, I will destroy America from within without lifting a finger.
03:05:37.000We'll destroy America from within with communism.
03:05:40.000And there's never a citation because the quote doesn't exist.
03:05:43.000It's like a quote that was pulled from like some obscure political scientist in the 50s and has been misattributed over many, many, many decades and somebody slapped it on with like,
03:05:53.000Khrushchev is superimposed over the quote, you know, and it's readily made and they post it on, like, Being Conservative Facebook page, Being a Capitalist Facebook page, and all the boomers like it up.
03:08:19.000You know, yeah, actually it does offend me.
03:08:21.000Actually, you know, the proliferation of pornography in our society is offensive to me.
03:08:26.000And if that makes me a church lady, then so be it.
03:08:29.000If that makes me Francisco Franco, then so be it.
03:08:33.000You know, before there were Puritan, Evangelical church ladies in the 1990s who were against Harry Potter, there was, like, Francisco Franco.
03:08:44.000And there was, uh, the Holy Roman Empire, where you'd be imprisoned if you did the things that are going on today.
03:08:50.000So, when you look at it from that angle, like, yeah, you know, I'm not a church lady, I'm like somebody who thinks that degenerates should be locked up, they should be put in jail, so...
03:08:59.000Jim Goh would be like, oh, you're seeing homosexual, interracial, transvestite sex during the Super Bowl?
03:10:31.000I'm not even re I can't I won't even read it What that will do to my mental state it worries me Marcus says I feel centrist and conservatives fucked up with the snowflake triggered victim culture meme They legitimized a paradigm
03:10:46.000Where criticism of anything in the current culture is seen as being a whiner.
03:10:50.000Not a good thing when culture is all left-wing.
03:14:22.000I need a little sugar Nonsense, maybe the real I just read that Greg says Romans for the king also give us more modern warfare streams Well, hey, you're the only one that likes them.
03:14:31.000Apparently nobody else likes to watch me play cuz I'm not good at that game Ben says the Republican Party endorsing principles that Hunter Avalon would have made a video about in 2015 Blackfield again.
03:15:13.000Did I offend all the people giving money?
03:15:15.000Did you pay money to the show and then I- and then I derisively mocked you and then I just ruthlessly made fun of you in front of everyone?
03:16:58.000I don't know I'm just very I'm just the best I guess I could say this is why I get paid the big bucks I'm simply the best people say I see a lot of salty people online from time to time They say Nick gets paid to literally do nothing.
03:20:23.000It's a super mega ultra chicken is legend.
03:20:26.000Snarf says Supra chicken on a raft says buck buck begar.
03:20:31.000Okay, like a chicken would say Spurts as Pete Buddha judge more like peep who to judge that that is accurate Snarf says try Colombian necktie.
03:20:41.000I'll give that a shot Boomer destroyers as have you ever dreamed about super chats?
03:20:50.000I've never dreamed... I've dreamt that I've done this show before.
03:20:53.000I've had dreams where I'm not prepared for the show.
03:20:56.000I've had dreams where I, like, have nothing to talk about and I'm just like, uh, well... And I'm just trying to, like, trying to bullshit my way through.
03:21:05.000It's like, I run out of stuff to talk about five minutes in.
03:21:21.000Not in a long time though, but I have had dreams in the past where it's like, I do something bizarre, and then I find out I was on the show when I was doing it, and I'm like, no!
03:21:54.000WD, but yeah, but I've had dreams about... Not never about Super Chats, but I have had dreams about the show and about, like, you know, political things pertaining to the show.
03:22:06.000Seems like there's a big gaping hole, like, right in this area.
03:22:11.000I've told people the reason there's like a really, well it's not like really big, well it's like kind of big, it's about as big as my hand.
03:22:19.000The reason it's here, there's nowhere else on the wall is there a hole.
03:22:26.000And the reason being is because the three holes that are now combined into a big hole, it's because I'm always situated in the same spot and it's always, it's incredible my accuracy, 100%.
03:22:39.000I always, and I've said this before, but it's always the pivot.
03:22:42.000I always pivot in the same way with the chair.
03:22:44.000You know, I'll be like, and then I'll go in for the swing.
03:26:03.000I will actually I will We're gonna resume, you know, we're gonna resume the Catboy joke That's the thing these people went and not to rehash the whole thing, but that was a long-running joke on the show I will not let them ruin it.
03:26:16.000That's what it was about from the beginning people are like, why would he just disavow?
03:26:19.000it's because I won't let the masses make me disavow a joke and
03:30:01.000And a lot of things I read and I forget, but the things I remember the best are the things when I'm thinking, and I happen to be thinking all the time.
03:30:07.000And I think the reason why NPCs have a bad memory is because we're on autopilot all the time.
03:30:12.000If you're just kind of like, you know, you're like Steve in Minecraft, and you're just kind of like, you know, you're just flying around, walking around all the time, la la la la, I'm driving to my job, I'm working at my job, now I'm eating, now I'm watching TV, well, you're never gonna remember anything, because...
03:30:33.000It's not really like coming through It's not really being processed as it's kind of like oh, you're not really you're not really present I think that that is the key that is a secret because I don't I don't really have a great photographic memory I just remember I maybe have a better number for numbers than most people but I
03:30:52.000You know, I have a good memory because it's a lot of repetition and also it's a lot of like, it's very involved, my thought process.
