00:07:30.000It's tough to keep things straight these days, but just because it's so... What a world, right?
00:07:36.000But anyway, I want to get into our featured story tonight, which will be about Donald Trump and his access to the presidential ballot.
00:07:46.000It looks like liberals are now changing up their strategy, or adding things to it.
00:07:52.000We've talked for the past few weeks about all the indictments that Donald Trump faces from the DOJ and in New York and Georgia and even some civil suits which are not as publicized but nevertheless still add to the legal trouble.
00:08:06.000But there's now a new campaign that's being waged against Trump's 2024 campaign which is to get him removed from the ballot in various states.
00:08:18.000And so far there has been action in the state of New Hampshire and in the state of California, and now a lawsuit is being brought in Colorado, and all of these moves are trying to get Trump off the ballot.
00:08:33.000So that even if he runs, even if he becomes the nominee, even if he makes it to the general election, people will not be able to vote for him on the ballot.
00:08:45.000And this is because of a provision inside the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which says that if a person has an insurrection against the government, if there's any kind of taking of arms, or taking up arms I should say, a rebellion or insurrection against the government, they are prohibited from running for federal office.
00:09:07.000Historically, it comes from the Civil War.
00:09:11.000And the statute hasn't been invoked since 1869.
00:09:14.000The point of it was to prevent people who had served in the Confederacy from then going on and holding office after the conclusion of the war.
00:09:24.000So it literally has not been used up until this year since 1869 because that was the initial reason for it and that was the application.
00:09:35.000But now they're saying that January 6th constitutes an insurrection and therefore the 14th Amendment would disqualify him.
00:09:43.000And so in various states they're seeking to use that provision to prevent him from appearing on the ballot, which would guarantee that he would lose.
00:09:52.000If he's not on the ballot in any of the states that he needs to win, and no doubt this will not affect him most likely in any red state,
00:10:04.000But if, for example, they could get this across in a state that he would need to get to 270 votes, it would prevent him from winning, which would be a big problem.
00:10:16.000We'll also be talking tonight about this new action by the Department of Justice.
00:10:21.000They're moving against the state of Texas.
00:10:24.000In Texas, the state government has made some efforts, although not enough, not nearly what is required,
00:10:33.000But the state government in Texas is attempting to mitigate the illegal immigration at the southern border and one of the actions they've taken is to put a barrier inside the Rio Grande River.
00:10:47.000And so it's a system of buoys which are holding up some sort of barrier and this is preventing people from swimming across the river or fording the river to get to the United States.
00:10:59.000And presumably that has kept some illegal immigrants out of the country.
00:11:04.000But now the Department of Justice is suing the state of Texas to get that removed and injunctive relief has been provided and the state of Texas has been ordered to remove the barrier.
00:11:15.000And that's a good sign that when a final decision is made, it will be official that a court will decide that they cannot deploy any kind of barrier like this because of the threat to the lives of the people that would attempt to cross.
00:12:03.000Also, check out our Trump mugshot merch at Fuentes.store.
00:12:07.000We're going to be closing that off pretty soon, probably by the end of the week.
00:12:12.000Or next week so make sure you get it while you can Fuentes.store And with that I guess we'll dive into it I don't really have too much else to say we've been covering the ADL like every day this week and Thursday and Friday last week Not a lot of major developments today other than what I've been saying the last last couple days So I don't really have an update there for you
00:12:39.000I guess all eyes are just on Elon Musk.
00:12:41.000We're waiting to see if there's going to be action on this lawsuit or on the data dump, which he has committed to doing.
00:12:49.000And we'll see if anything comes of it.
00:12:52.000I am excited though, because it seems that he's still interested.
00:12:55.000He's still engaging with it as of today.
00:12:57.000Although these activist groups are catching on.
00:12:59.000There's been a few hit pieces about me now about this from ADL themselves, and now from a few others, from this Angry White Men website, and Media Matters is coming after me now.
00:13:23.000I mean, hey, I'll take some of the credit.
00:13:26.000Hey, I will humbly accept some of the credit, because it's been a phenomenal operation, but we all know I didn't start this, so if someone's going to get arrested over this, it shouldn't be me.
00:13:38.000I'm just saying, look, hey, I'll take some of the credit.
00:13:41.000I definitely helped in a big way, and I deserve a percentage of it, but if anyone's going to jail for this, if anyone's going to be targeted as a result,
00:13:51.000It's got to be Keith Woods, because he was the one, he started it.
00:13:56.000He put the first post, he started the hashtag.
00:14:00.000If you're looking for credit to give, I definitely get some.
00:14:04.000But if it's somebody's fault, we all know it's his fault.
00:14:08.000So, I just want to put that out there.
00:14:12.000Because I know a lot of people are getting thrown in jail these days.
00:14:15.000People are getting locked up for 20 years.
00:14:18.000And this time, just like the other time, I can't take all the credit, so... Nah, I don't think anyone's gonna go to jail, but... It is kind of BS.
00:14:29.000How come he doesn't... Why doesn't he get his name in there?
00:14:32.000It's just people keep... I didn't even do this one!
00:15:16.000Where even the 500 miles of fence that Trump built, they're cutting holes in it so that people can get easy access and get into the country.
00:15:48.000It's significantly higher than that at this point.
00:15:51.000And like I said, there's no effort even to apprehend or stop these people.
00:15:55.000They show up at the border and the legal
00:15:59.000Framework has been dismantled, which would allow for law enforcement to keep them on the other side of the border, or turn them away, or remove them.
00:16:08.000And the physical barriers are quite literally being deconstructed.
00:16:15.000Today, an injunction was given in a lawsuit that was brought by the Department of Justice, which will now force the state of Texas to remove a barrier that they had imposed in the Rio Grande River.
00:16:28.000And this is a story that says, quote, A federal judge ordered Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday to move a barrier of floating buoys in the Rio Grande that was placed by the state of Texas to discourage illegal crossings from Mexico, concluding that it was an impediment to navigation on the river and a threat to human life.
00:17:04.000And it's not that we want people to die, but we want people to show up there intending to cross, see the barrier, and say, damn, we can't cross.
00:18:08.000Like, so that if people try to intrude on your property or the premises or whatever, your castle,
00:18:16.000They can be turned away, that's the point.
00:18:21.000Anyway... It says the Justice Department filed suit in July arguing that the barrier violated a federal law that prohibits structures and navigable waterways without federal approval.
00:18:33.000It said the barrier placed in a section of the river in the border city of Eagle Pass endangered migrants, hampered the operations of the Border Patrol, and harmed diplomatic relations with Mexico.
00:18:45.000Although they say that it's hampering the operations of the Border Patrol, Border Patrol can't keep people out of America legally.
00:19:49.000And in many cases there are non-profits or even the governments themselves
00:19:53.000We'll educate these people on exactly what to say and the requirements necessary so that they can exploit this loophole in our law.
00:20:06.000That's why when Donald Trump said, when Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best, he meant they're literally sending their people here.
00:20:13.000They are telling their people, go north and tell them this.
00:20:20.000And if they read that script to our law enforcement officials, then they have to remain.
00:20:28.000So it says it's preventing Border Patrol from doing their job.
00:20:32.000The law is preventing Border Patrol from doing their job.
00:20:34.000I mean, theoretically, their job is to patrol the border and turn people away who are not legally permitted to cross, but the law doesn't allow them to do that.
00:20:46.000And this is a big part of the Trump administration.
00:20:48.000Border policy was to build up a legal regime which would allow Border Patrol to do their job.
00:20:56.000And they used COVID regulations and they used other things and over the course of the first term they had made it so that illegal immigrants could be turned away.
00:21:06.000They would be forced to remain in Mexico while their asylum was processed and
00:21:13.000And they made all kinds of other changes that allowed Border Patrol to keep them on the other side, but that has all been dismantled.
00:21:21.000It's like I said, they dismantled legal and the physical barriers.
00:21:25.000So, when they say, well, the Border Patrol can't do their job, they already can't do their job.
00:21:33.000This is doing the job that they're not permitted to do.
00:21:38.000The article goes on and says, Judge Ezra of the U.S.
00:21:42.000District Court in Austin ordered the state to move the roughly 1,000-foot barrier to the U.S.
00:21:47.000banks of the river by September 15th while the legal case proceeded.
00:21:52.000In issuing the preliminary injunction on Wednesday, the judge found that the federal government was likely to prevail on the merits of the case whenever there was a full trial.
00:22:04.000So the injunction forces Texas to do this, even though the case isn't finished.
00:22:08.000Although the judge assumes the government will win.
00:22:14.000It says, the court found that the problems posed by the barrier, which federal authorities said included a risk of drowning by those trying to cross the river, outweighed the interest that Texas had in controlling migration into the state.
00:22:29.000The judge's order also halted any new floating barrier construction.
00:22:33.000So in other words, they're literally saying that the interest of the drowning migrant takes precedence over the interest of the state in controlling migration.
00:22:43.000And that may be like the most perfect summary of all of our laws that we've seen to date.
00:22:53.000Where you have this invasion going on which is destroying the country.
00:22:57.000Even the mayor of New York City today, who's black,
00:23:01.000People say that it's about, it's racist, it's about race hatred.
00:23:06.000This just demonstrates that this is a, in addition to being actually a racial problem, on a fundamental level it's just a logistical problem.
00:23:17.000The mayor of New York City, who's a liberal, democrat, black, he said today that the illegal immigration will literally destroy the city.
00:23:32.000The same thing is happening in Chicago where black residents are freaking out at their black mayor because of the burden that illegal immigration poses to the city.
00:23:44.000So Trump was saying it in 2016 and they said, oh you're a racist, you hate Mexicans.
00:23:50.000They were airing these revolting videos of Mexican children flipping him off and everything.
00:23:57.000And now it's eight years later and even the black people, even the black Democrats
00:24:16.000And yet you've got judges, American judges, saying, well, the lives of the migrants are more important than that.
00:24:22.000Even though they're committing a crime, even though they're literally invading the country and destroying it because of the volume of people invading the country, well,
00:25:09.000That's not a far-right, radical extremist saying that.
00:25:14.000That's a judge saying, and he's saying it in a legal way, but I think it's a pretty dramatic expression.
00:25:28.000He says that the risk of drowning by those attempting to cross the river, and the only people that are crossing the river are illegal immigrants.
00:25:36.000Nobody needs to get from Mexico to the United States by swimming across the river unless you're an illegal immigrant.
00:25:43.000So they say, the risk of drowning by those attempting to cross the river, illegal immigrants, outweigh the interest of the state of Texas in controlling migration.
00:25:52.000So, in other words, if people die trying to invade our country, we just have to let them in.
00:25:58.000We have no legitimate interest in controlling the borders of our nation if the people attempting to invade could die while doing so.
00:27:57.000People say, well, he didn't deserve to die over a counterfeit bill.
00:28:01.000It's like, yeah, but he was resisting arrest.
00:28:03.000And people say, but they put their knee on his neck and he couldn't breathe.
00:28:08.000And it's like, yeah, but you can't fight the police because the police enforce the law and the law is what keeps everything orderly and stable.
00:29:10.000Rather than have everybody fighting each other all the time, or a war of all the individuals in the society against each other, against other tribes,
00:30:58.000You really think they're out there shooting people because the price of the basketball is too high?
00:31:04.000We need the state or the city to provide more money so the schools can have programs and they could buy basketballs.
00:31:11.000That's not why they're... that's besides the point.
00:31:15.000But every step of the way, even something like sacrilege, even when they mock God and they do other perverse things, people are voluntary consenting adults and they can do whatever they like.
00:31:36.000But we have our judges saying no they can't because the life of the immigrant takes precedence over the right of the state to enforce the law.
00:31:47.000The article goes on, it says, Mr. Abbott's office issued a statement vowing to appeal the decision.
00:31:53.000He said Texas is prepared to take the fight all the way to the Supreme Court.
00:31:58.000The governor who has pushed the limits of state action on immigration appeared eager for the court fight over his authority to create a barrier along the border.
00:32:05.000In a letter to President Biden in July, the government argued that he had the legal right to do so in part because of a clause in the Constitution dealing with state powers during an invasion.
00:32:17.000The Justice Department in its lawsuit focused on what it said was Texas's violation of a federal law, the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act.
00:32:26.000Dealing with federal jurisdiction over navigable waterways.
00:32:29.000Its lawyers also pushed back on Mr. Abbott's assertion of a right to declare a migrant invasion, arguing that only the federal government could make a determination like that.
00:32:48.000But you understand that at this point in time, the law is a straitjacket for us.
00:32:55.000I read a decision like this, and they're saying that the state of Texas, which is being subject to an invasion... Like, I know in theory this is a country, and so the people that are illegally crossing into Texas are then going everywhere else.
00:33:14.000They're going into New York, they're going to Illinois, they're going to California.
00:33:19.000But Texas is the state that's on the border.
00:33:22.000So Texas is the state where these people, all of them, have to set foot first.
00:33:39.000So they're dealing with the surge more than anybody.
00:33:42.000And this is putting a strain on that state.
00:33:44.000It's not, again, in theory, putting a strain on Montana or Kansas or Nevada, although the illegal immigrants will make their way there.
00:33:55.000It is first and most intensely putting a strain on that state, on those cities in that state.
00:34:03.000And so this is a perfect situation where the governor of that state would have a constitutional authority which is protected by the 10th or 9th Amendment
00:34:14.000Which would allow the state to protect its borders and prevent these people from ruining these cities, prevent Texas from becoming a stop along a long caravan route from Nicaragua to New York City.
00:34:30.000You'd think that that would be the perfect opportunity for, and this is totally reasonable and sensible,
00:34:37.000For the state government to use its National Guard or its law enforcement and its means of defense to stop this problem.
00:34:46.000This is where the federal law becomes a straitjacket.
00:34:49.000Then comes in the federal government and says, well that violates the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act, which says that the federal government has to say what goes in all navigable waterways.
00:35:08.000But a judge is going to adjudicate this and say, well the statute says the federal government didn't approve these barriers in the Rio Grande and that violates the Rivers and Harbors Appropriations Act.
00:35:34.000Anything that goes on there, they can control.
00:35:35.000So that means all trade, all international trade, all trade over a waterway, and all transportation over waterways and everything like that in the United States.
00:35:47.000So states that live along navigable waterways, they have just forfeited their right.
00:35:52.000So that would be every state along the Colorado River, along the Rio Grande, along the Mississippi River.
00:35:59.000And every state with a harbor, which would be like the whole East Coast, the whole West Coast.
00:36:04.000Every state bordering the Great Lakes, I suppose.
00:36:11.000So that's the extent of the federal government's control.
00:36:14.000And then, of course, because the federal government, which is captured by interests in Washington, D.C., because they are okay with the country being invaded by illegal immigrants, they can go and defeat every state that wants to stop it.
00:36:29.000And so in this case, and by the way, Greg Abbott is not doing a good job at all.
00:36:34.000He's doing the bare minimum to prevent illegals from coming in.
00:36:38.000It's outrageous the situation in Texas.
00:36:54.000They have these unofficial cities of illegal immigrants in Texas, which the governor allows because the people that benefit from and run them give money to Greg Abbott.
00:37:48.000So that means that companies can be boycotted and divested from and subject to monopolistic practices by the app stores like Apple or Google?
00:38:00.000In every case, the law is being used against the people.
00:38:06.000Like we saw last night with the sentencing of Enrique Tarrio.
00:38:10.000When it comes to BLM, well, the prosecutors can give them all a break and the DOJ is just not interested.
00:38:17.000When Black Lives Matter burns down a city block in Minneapolis, again, the Department of Justice just simply is not interested in going after those people.
00:38:25.000The Attorney General declines to even take an interest, much less investigate, much less look at surveillance footage or subpoena communications or anything like that.
00:38:37.000And even the local prosecutors are not interested in charging these people.
00:38:42.000But when it comes to the riot at the Capitol, whoa, the Department of Justice asked for billions of dollars, highest appropriations ever, and they hired 500 agents and 1,000 lawyers, and they're going to throw everybody in jail and send a message, and they're going to go for Trump, and you got this prosecutor in Atlanta who says, well, we're going to go after Trump and treat him like anybody else.
00:39:12.000And that's when he realized the law is no longer real.
00:39:31.000We don't anymore because the system does not have procedures and laws and guidelines that are followed objectively or universally.
00:39:39.000What we now have is a highly personal system.
00:39:43.000Where it matters much more who is in charge rather than what they're in charge of, what the procedure or policy or law is.
00:39:53.000And so now we have a system that's based on the personal discretion of the people who sit behind the desk.
00:40:00.000And Enrique Tarrio BLM is a perfect example.
00:40:07.000Where it mattered far more who was making the decisions of who to charge and make the effort to go after them rather than what the law actually said.
00:40:18.000Because the same law that applied to Enrique Tarrio applied to BLM.
00:40:23.000The same law, the terrorist sentencing enhancement, that equally applied to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone or Minneapolis or Chicago as it did to January 6th, but it was never used.
00:40:36.000And it was not used because, again, of what was written.
00:40:42.000It was not used because of the personal discretion of the people that were in charge at that time.
00:40:54.000Because it is the men, and this has always been the case, that's why it matters you have good people.
00:40:59.000Because ultimately it's going to be good people that enforce the law objectively, blindly, in a just way.
00:41:07.000So it's always been a nation of men, it's just that they were men that cared about the law.
00:41:10.000Now it's people that don't care about the law.
00:41:14.000And so now it's a system that whether it is criminal justice or these political matters like Trump and the Proud Boys, or it's these criminal matters in a big city like Chicago or San Francisco or L.A., or when it comes to the border and people pouring across the border, it matters who's in charge and what their agenda is.
00:41:37.000Because at that point, then, the law is just an instrument for the execution of that agenda.
00:41:43.000It doesn't stand for anything by itself.
00:41:46.000Which is a big problem because the laws are created ultimately to protect the people.
00:42:05.000What people need is to be safe, and they want prosperity, and
00:42:13.000They want to protect the value of the product of their labor, which means real estate and the stock market and things like that, which they invest in, or the interest rate, the solvency of the currency, or the viability of the currency.
00:44:25.000And so they come here as, by definition, peasants or serfs.
00:44:30.000And as a consequence, they're probably illiterate, don't speak English, they have no belongings, they have no education, they have no capital, and they're getting in here through their connection to organized crime, and they're doing it illegally.
00:44:46.000So by definition, we have to keep these people out to keep the people safe.
00:44:50.000We have to keep these people out so that we can have an orderly society.
00:44:54.000We have to keep them out so that we can have a thriving economy.
00:44:57.000Like, all these things go hand in hand.
00:45:00.000But in this case the law is being abused so that we can't do that.
00:45:04.000It's being used to prevent us from doing those things.
00:45:08.000So in this case the law is killing the country.
00:45:11.000The law which was created by representatives of the people is being turned around and used against them to benefit illegal immigrants.
00:45:21.000The law is now benefiting illegal immigrants to the detriment of the people.
00:45:27.000Just like it is in the case of Trump and the Proud Boys and BLM.
00:45:35.000And that's why the strategy that we are using involves manipulating the lot in the same way to our benefit.
00:45:44.000That's why I don't want to hear... When a bunch of black teenagers go to the store and steal everything and break the windows and shoot each other, it's a teen takeover.
00:47:43.000But I am saying that when it comes to politics, if we ever get people that are governors or congressmen or the president, if we're ever in a leadership position like that again, you have to keep this dynamic in mind.
00:48:01.000That we're not out to win any Boy Scout badges here.
00:48:05.000The goal is to use the law to deliver a political victory, and then we can restore society somewhat.
00:48:10.000Then we can revisit the law in a way that makes sense.
00:48:15.000But you see that right now, our enemy isn't even the illegals, it's the law.
00:48:53.000Get an army together and put them on the border, and then get a bunch of engineers together and build a structure that prevents them from coming in.
00:49:01.000Like, that's how you would solve that problem.
00:49:41.000And so that's where we're trying to find where the problem is, and the problem is that it is these giant financial interests that want illegal immigration to continue, because they benefit from it.
00:49:55.000And that has to be defeated by a government that is supported by the will of the people, not by the money.
00:50:00.000And the problem is, as time goes on, this is why the elections are so important, and the media too.
00:50:08.000If all the media is propaganda, and if the elections are rigged, then we can never elect a Caesar.
00:50:15.000We can never elect a leader who's going to put the national interest over money.
00:50:19.000You understand how this all comes together?
00:50:21.000Do you understand how it's all related now?
00:50:24.000Because we could solve illegal immigration, but they don't want to.
00:50:27.000And we could vote someone in who wanted to, but then they would get sabotaged and thwarted, because that's what happened last time, or overthrown.
00:50:36.000You need someone in there who is not susceptible to the influence of money.
00:50:41.000Because that is what's driving immigration.
00:50:44.000It's these firm owners that desperately need ceaseless economic growth, population growth, and wages that are lower, a lower labor cost.
00:50:56.000So you would need a leader who's in there who is going to break the backs of the big donors and fix the system.
00:51:05.000But in order to elect somebody like that you need to bypass the money-controlled media and the fake elections.
00:51:11.000That's why it really comes down at this point to we need to win the media game and we need to win the election game.
00:51:19.000Because we elected a guy like Trump and that was supposed to be the solution and there were all kinds of problems and then they set us back by rigging the election and rigging the media like never before.
00:51:31.000We elected Trump, and that should have been the moment when, okay, we got a leader, now we're cooking, we can build a border wall, we can fix things.
00:52:07.000And we might as well...it's actually a nice segue because talking about how illegal immigration, it's this generational problem that they refuse to solve.
00:52:17.000And Trump is a big part of the puzzle here.
00:52:21.000So now the new effort that they're undertaking to prevent Trump from winning in 2024, aside from these huge rounds of charges which they have thrown at him in different jurisdictions, they now want to simply take him off the ballot and make it so that people can't vote for him.
00:52:39.000They say, well, people still want to vote for him.
00:52:42.000They're still going to select him as their nominee.
00:52:44.000They say, so we'll just prevent people from being able to cast their vote for him.
00:52:52.000It says, former President Donald Trump disqualified himself from holding public office and his name should therefore be stricken from 2024 Republican primary ballots, argues a lawsuit filed Wednesday in a Colorado district court.
00:53:08.000The suit, filed by the liberal nonprofit group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, cites the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause, which bars any person who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution from holding federal or state office as the basis for the 77-year-old's White House ineligibility.
00:53:31.000The president of this group, Noah Bookbinder, said in a statement,
00:53:35.000If the very fabric of our democracy is to hold, we must ensure that the Constitution is enforced and the same people who attacked our democratic system not be put in charge of it.
00:53:45.000We aren't bringing this case to make a point, we're bringing it because it is necessary to defend our republic today and in the future.
00:53:52.000The complaint was filed on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters represented by Crewe and two other law firms and
00:54:01.000Specifically seeks to bar Trump from the 2024 Colorado primary ballot over his alleged role in recruiting, inciting, and encouraging a violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a futile attempt to remain in office.
00:54:17.000The group said, quote, based on its laws, the calendar, and our courageous set of plaintiffs and witnesses, Colorado is a good venue to bring this first case, but it will not be the last.
00:54:28.000The seldom-used disqualification clause was included in the post-Civil War 14th Amendment as a means to prevent former Confederate officials from becoming elected officials and taking over state governments and the federal government.
00:54:41.000Efforts by the liberal non-profit Free Speech for People to use the 14th Amendment to prevent Marjorie Greene and Madison Cawthorn from appearing in 2022 midterm ballots failed last year.
00:54:53.000However, the group successfully sued to remove Cowboys for Trump founder Coy Griffin from the Otero County Commission in New Mexico after he was convicted of trespassing for entering the Capitol during the January 6th riot.
00:55:08.000The group says its case against Griffin is the only successful disqualification clause to be brought since 1869.
00:55:16.000So they want to remove him from the ballot in the primary.
00:55:23.000Because if Trump couldn't appear on the ballot in a significant number of primary states, that doesn't benefit Biden, it benefits DeSantis.
00:55:32.000If Trump can't appear on the ballot, let's say in Colorado, that means all of Colorado's delegates will basically go to DeSantis.
00:55:41.000And it's like DeSantis wins Colorado even though Trump would destroy him.
00:55:47.000DeSantis will get all those delegates.
00:55:50.000So if that succeeds there, they will try it in other states.
00:55:54.000If they try it in other states and succeed, they may put Trump in a position where he can't win the necessary number of delegates to make him the nominee.
00:56:03.000I don't think that's likely to happen.
00:56:06.000But that is a scenario that could play out.
00:56:08.000And it says it in this article that they weren't able to succeed in bringing this sort of this clause to work against Marjorie Greene or Madison Cawthorn.
00:56:18.000But neither of them were there on January 6th.
00:56:32.000And Trump has been charged, not with insurrection, but he has been charged with conspiracy and with things that are close enough that maybe a judge might grant that.
00:56:44.000And if that happened, it would be a big problem for him, obviously.
00:56:49.000And once again, we're in the situation where, like with the indictments for the classified documents, or January 6, or Manhattan, or Fulton County,
00:57:02.000They do not want him to be on the ballot.
00:57:07.000They certainly don't want him to win, but they especially don't want him even to be the nominee.
00:57:14.000By charging him, I think a big part of the calculus is it hurts him personally, and it hurts his campaign, and it's going to hurt this argument that he's even eligible.
00:57:24.000I know a lot of voters are probably going to say,
00:57:28.000If Trump is in jail, can he even win the general election?
00:57:31.000If he gets convicted next March during Super Tuesday, is he going to be in jail when the general election happens?
00:57:40.000They have to assume that people are going to start to think that.
00:57:44.000And if they start to think that, it's going to hurt his chances of even being nominated.
00:58:56.000Activists getting in the way and saying you you can't vote for him.
00:59:02.000So it's bad enough that you can only vote for two people to be the president.
00:59:05.000You can really only vote for a Democrat who's totally controlled or a Republican who is basically controlled every time except for Trump.
00:59:15.000Now we have an election where the Trump should be the nominee but they're getting in and saying nope try again it can only be Biden or DeSantis.
00:59:44.000And they said, well, you could vote for Trump or Biden, but I'm just letting you know, it's going to look like Trump is winning and then after we count ballots for a month, he's not going to win.
00:59:55.000Now in 2024, they're saying, yeah, you can't even vote for him.
01:00:09.000Two guys that totally support Israel, two guys backed by Wall Street, two guys backed by the Jews, two guys that are in favor of immigration, two guys that'll support Ukraine, two guys that... They're basically the same.
01:00:22.000They're the same, with like 5% that doesn't overlap.
01:00:52.000It doesn't mean that we are self-governing, which is what it was supposed to mean initially.
01:00:57.000Initially it was supposed to mean that the people could determine the direction of the country through their state legislatures, through their vote, through other means.
01:01:08.000And the Constitution would regulate the relationship between the people and the federal government.
01:02:08.000We make jokes about Russia, about how the opposition doesn't stand a chance, and the media is all controlled, and the opposition will do protests and everyone gets arrested.
01:02:24.000The opposition is stricken from the ballot, or they try to.
01:02:28.000We all know who's gonna win because they basically rig it.
01:02:31.000All the media supports the regime, and opposition media is interfered with in a number of ways.
01:02:38.000If the opposition protests, they get beat up by these shock troops like Antifa or whoever, or they get arrested.
01:02:49.000So we're basically as democratic as Russia.
01:02:52.000The only difference is that in Russia, they have a conservative culture.
01:02:56.000So in Russia, they don't like the homosexuality too much, and they don't like the feminism as much, although there is a little bit of that from the Soviet Union days.
01:03:07.000The difference is that in America, it's just a different kind of societal culture, but the politics is totally tyrannical.
01:03:15.000And I wouldn't care as much if it was a good system.
01:03:21.000We're locked in with these people that are making the country degenerate and foreign and evil.
01:05:05.000I've just lost all interest in Star Wars.
01:05:08.000After Obi-Wan, I'm like... I can't do it anymore.
01:05:12.000I've watched so many of their bad series and I... I'm just not interested anymore.
01:05:17.000Which is really sad because I love Star Wars and I really had a stomach for a lot of the garbage just because I love the... I love the... What do you call it?
01:10:22.000And yeah, I'll be doing some more appearances But not because not because you're gonna you're getting them because it's important and I have a message and I need to express myself We need you on more YouTube videos.
01:13:07.000which is like what's the hold up man and this this is like sean hannity level this is like obama era fox news when they're like oh obama's a gay muslim socialist like this is the opposite of base this is blue pill this is like hunter biden tier stuff i don't mean that in a good way
01:13:30.000And for all the people that say, well he's doing the best he can, look at what Elon Musk is doing.
01:15:46.000Hi Nick, do you think that there is any realistic scenario where a president, whether they be AF or not, could restore manufacturing, steel, auto, etc., as it existed 70 years ago?
01:16:07.000So because the 14th Amendment didn't explicitly say INGRs are now citizens and no Confederate presidents we have faggots like Destiny pretending to be constitutionalists.
01:18:12.000Because they're coming to cut our heads off and take all our stuff and, you know, they're just drinking up our blood, metaphorically speaking.
01:18:19.000And we can't even say what the problem is.
01:19:36.000So, if the ballots were messed up, and there was a false winner of the contest, and then the state legislature sent a slate of electors based on that false result,
01:19:50.000It's like it almost doesn't even matter, because then the state legislature sends the slate of electors and the electors choose the president, and then Congress counts them.
01:20:01.000So even if the election was fake, that ship had sailed when the election was certified, it would have sailed when the slate was sent over, it certainly, that ship would have sailed by the time Mike Pence was counting the votes.
01:20:16.000So, unfortunately, even if the election was proven to be rigged, the charges still stick.
01:20:25.000And I know that sucks, but that's the process.
01:20:32.000So how would the 22nd Amendment apply?
01:20:35.000If he had been elected twice and then he couldn't run in 2024?
01:20:55.000So thanks for the big super chat, but I, you know, and I'm not a legal scholar, so that's just my thinking, but I don't think it would even have an effect if they proved, because he got, Biden got inaugurated.
01:22:57.000But they can be effective in their own way.
01:23:03.000When I watch X-Men, Jennifer Lawrence, she's a good villain as a woman because she's sexy.
01:23:11.000I have to say, when X-Men First Class came out, which I don't want to get too explicit, but let me just say, when X-Men First Class came out, maybe that's a little freaky, but like, you know, that was pretty hot, I'm not gonna lie.
01:23:29.000I'm not even gonna lie, it was pretty hot when X-Men First Class came out and she was blue and naked in, what was that, 2011?
01:25:19.000In the last Jedi, there was some pink-haired general, and in this one, all the Mandalorian women have funky colored hair, and I, you know, I just can't, I just can't do that.
