00:02:41.000The boomer generation and its consequences have been a disaster for the humanity.
00:02:47.000Americanism, not globalism, will be our freedom!
01:02:23.000But there will be a very important vice presidential debate, especially if a debate between Trump and Kamala does not happen, and it's looking less likely all the time than it will.
01:03:45.000We'll talk all about who this guy is and how this impacts the election.
01:03:52.000We'll also be talking tonight about, get this, an arrest has been made in an alleged Iranian assassination plot against Donald Trump or other government officials.
01:04:06.000Which is so wild, because I have been hitting this for a long time, as you know.
01:04:13.000I've been saying since the beginning, false flag imminent!
01:04:19.000There's gonna be a false flag attack on America.
01:04:22.000There's gonna be a false flag attack on Europe.
01:04:45.000And it turned out not to be, it turned out to be some kid, although the circumstances surrounding it are very suspicious, but it seems that the perpetrator was either a patsy, or some kind of MKUltra guy, or they groomed him or something, but he clearly was not a foreign national.
01:05:06.000It took just two days after the assassination attempt for the FBI and federal law enforcement to cook up this narrative that the Iranians had some sort of assassination plot against Trump.
01:05:20.000Well, fast forward all this time later, there's been much discussion of it since.
01:05:25.000Donald Trump posted about it on True Social.
01:05:28.000Netanyahu talked about it in his address to Congress two weeks ago.
01:05:35.000Now we have an arrest and the FBI arrested a Pakistani national who allegedly came from Iran with the intention of hiring a mercenary in the United States to assassinate high-level government officials.
01:05:53.000And they presumed that one of the targets could have been Donald Trump.
01:05:59.000And I find all of this very suspicious and very strange.
01:06:26.000Earlier this year, when there was a major mass shooting in a suburb of Moscow, they blamed it on a Tajik Islamist.
01:06:36.000They said it was a militant recruited by ISIS-K, ISIS-Khorasan, from Tajikistan.
01:06:44.000Afghanistan has a large ethnic Tajik population.
01:06:48.000There's a lot of resentment from the Tajiks against the Taliban.
01:06:53.000And there's a lot of cross-border action going on right now.
01:06:57.000And so they said it was a radical Islamist affiliated with ISIS-K, Tajik, maybe from Afghanistan, maybe from Tajikistan, maybe from Kyrgyzstan.
01:07:08.000And they said that he was paid $10,000 by somebody on Telegram to carry out this mass shooting, and he was probably tranked up on drugs from Syria.
01:07:19.000And a lot of people said this doesn't really fit the ISIS MO.
01:07:24.000Because they said ISIS doesn't hire out, and typically it's a suicide attack, they don't plan to escape, and people questioned who offered him the money and so on.
01:07:34.000And this plot against Trump matches this almost exactly.
01:07:39.000It's a Pakistani who recently visited Iran and Pakistan and other countries in the region, came to the United States looking to hire a mercenary for $5,000 to take a shot against Trump.
01:07:53.000And so one has to wonder, where are all of these mercenary contracts coming from?
01:08:00.000Who's offering to pay in the United States or Russia thousands of dollars in this manner?
01:09:30.000And I think that when we see politicians dropping like flies, like they are, and mass casualty terror attacks, we don't know all the information about them ever.
01:09:41.000It leads me to believe that these are spy games.
01:10:54.000Just about the same amount of likes and dislikes as any other video.
01:10:59.000So it's pretty incredible because I put it out there and I said at the beginning of the show last night because I did give I think initially it seemed very controversial.
01:11:08.000By the end of the show last night, everybody agreed.
01:11:12.000Everybody that watched the show said, I didn't think of it like that.
01:11:43.000And I know it's selection bias because it's fans of mine, it's people that watch the show, but if I were really off base, I feel like people would say that.
01:11:52.000Um, so I would encourage everybody to watch the show last night.
01:11:55.000A lot of people said it was an excellent show, it was one of the best.
01:11:59.000And, if for no other reason, I've really been putting out some themes on the show lately which are just really important for how people should be thinking about things.
01:12:25.000But I've been putting out some themes on the show lately, which regardless of the actual speculation or the actual theory, it's important for people to think in this way, which is that everything is connected.
01:12:41.000And I stick to primary sources, you know, or mainstream sources.
01:13:33.000You have to really parse out what actually happened at the mosque in Southport on that day, and why did they go there, and why did the police say what they said, and why did the misinformation say it was Muslim?
01:14:35.000And we need to have a movement that is like that.
01:14:37.000We really need to have a movement that is totally parallel, but absolutely independent.
01:14:43.000Because what is, and this is the last thing I'll say, then we'll get on into the news.
01:14:47.000What I think is really sick, and I'm honestly, frankly, I'm disturbed by it.
01:14:54.000I am disturbed at the number of anonymous Twitter accounts, or even non-anonymous Twitter accounts, that in just the past year have become unpaid or maybe paid cheerleaders of the GOP.
01:15:10.000You have people that purport to be a little bit more sophisticated or a little bit more independent, and I don't know if you've noticed this.
01:15:18.000But all I get on my timeline, it might as well be a political advertisement.
01:15:24.000My whole timeline is just endless shilling for the election.
01:15:31.000And I'm sitting here like, why are you people doing this?
01:15:36.000I see people that purport to be otherwise intelligent, or intellectual, or sophisticated,
01:15:44.000And when this announcement for the Vice President was made, they were like, Tim Walz is a radical left Democrat who's soft on crime!
01:16:06.000There's a difference between, look, if you're gonna vote for Trump, God bless you.
01:16:10.000I think people should vote for Trump, honestly.
01:16:12.000I'm uncommitted right now, but I think it'd be better if Trump won.
01:16:16.000And if people want to advocate for people to vote for Trump or to go and register people to vote, hey, knock yourself out.
01:16:26.000But what's really weird are these people, these BAP orbiters and others who are like, they're just doing campaign rhetoric.
01:16:34.000They're just doing, like, retail politics.
01:16:37.000People that were a year ago, you know, ostensibly they purport to be intellectuals, they're talking about the classics, they're talking about, you know, we're fashy, and they're talking about race, or whatever.
01:16:47.000Now they're just like, well, Kamala's a communist!
01:17:55.000I don't go to the Peter Thiel Palantir meetings.
01:17:58.000I'm like the only one that didn't get the memo.
01:18:01.000Where it's like, okay, so I know we usually talk about how there's a uni party and Republicans and Democrats are working together for a globalist agenda, open borders, free trade, foreign war.
01:19:39.000And like I said, it's got, you know, if you want to go out and say, hey, we're voting for Trump because he's like the lesser of two evils, blah, blah.
01:20:40.000I was on the Alex Jones Show and I discussed literally this yesterday afternoon.
01:20:46.000The big news today is that the FBI has made an arrest.
01:20:50.000They've arrested a Pakistani national who has recently visited Iran, and he was looking in the United States to hire a mercenary gunman to kill Trump or some other politician.
01:21:05.000And they say that this Pakistani showed up in America, tried to pay somebody, promised $100,000, a down payment of $5,000, which is kind of a scam if you ask me.
01:21:17.000And they say that this person that he attempted to hire immediately became an informant for the DOJ, which is a little strange.
01:21:26.000And this was known to law enforcement in advance of the Trump assassination attempt on July 13th, which complicates our understanding of July 13th for reasons I'll get into in a moment.
01:21:43.000It says the Justice Department said on Tuesday that it had charged a Pakistani man who had recently visited Iran with trying to hire a hitman to assassinate political figures in the United States.
01:21:56.000Investigators believe that potential targets likely included former President Donald Trump, according to a senior law enforcement official.
01:22:04.000The man, Asif Raza Merchant, age 46, was arrested in New York on July 12.
01:22:13.000One day before Matthew Crooks shot at and slightly wounded President Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania.
01:22:21.000He was arrested a day before Matt Crooks took a shot at the President.
01:22:28.000Which obviously complicates our understanding of that day.
01:22:32.000Because we know now, based on the investigation that has taken place so far, that the Secret Service allowed Donald Trump to take the stage knowing that there was a threat in the audience.
01:22:46.000They were aware of Matthew Crooks an hour before Trump took the stage.
01:22:52.000And they were aware that he was present, that he was using a rangefinder,
01:23:04.000And they let Trump take the stage knowing there was a threat.
01:23:08.000And when we learned this, it raised serious questions about whether the Secret Service was ordered to stand down.
01:23:15.000Did they allow Trump to be put in danger because they wanted him dead?
01:23:20.000Well, now we know that not only did they let him take the stage,
01:23:25.000Having known for an hour that there was a potential threat in the crowd, and they didn't secure the nearest tall building, which should have been within the security perimeter, but they also did that having arrested the day before a mercenary from a foreign country that was looking to hire a hitman to kill Trump.
01:23:44.000So in other words, Secret Service knew there was an active plot to kill Trump ongoing.
01:23:52.000And they had credible intelligence and a months-long investigation.
01:23:56.000They knew, allegedly, that foreigners were trying to kill Trump, and yet the day after, they said, let's leave the roof of the nearest tall building empty, and let's let Trump take the stage, even though there's a threat somewhere in the crowd, but we lost him.
01:24:14.000And then, when they radioed in, that Matthew Crooks was on the roof, they sent up one cop!
01:24:55.000The public is only learning about the arrest today on August 6th.
01:25:01.000Almost a full month after the attempt and the arrest.
01:25:05.000But the DOJ and presumably the DHS, federal law enforcement, they knew about this arrest as the assassination attempt unfolded and the aftermath and the investigation into the would-be assassin.
01:25:49.000A lot of people think that the United States and Secret Service and military are all powerful.
01:25:56.000But when you actually look at their budget and personnel, it's far more limited probably than what people think.
01:26:03.000But when you start to analyze all of the evidence in that assassination plot, and we're not going to get into all those details tonight, but then you combine all of that with the knowledge now that they had made an arrest
01:26:18.000A day before and they knew this the whole time?
01:26:21.000What it tells us is this is not normal.
01:26:23.000That is not a normal level of negligence.
01:26:27.000It's not even an acceptable level of extraordinary negligence to believe that it was unintentional.
01:26:37.000This suggests that there was a stand down order.
01:26:40.000That people are trying to kill Trump and law enforcement was going to let them kill Trump.
01:26:50.000We're going to go on with this article and talk about, I think, maybe the motivation behind that.
01:26:56.000It says, quote, officials said they had no evidence indicating the plot was connected to the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
01:27:03.000But they said the arrest of Mr. Merchant, who had recently spent two weeks in Iran, had disrupted what they characterized as a far-ranging plot that also included seeking to steal computer files from U.S.
01:27:17.000intelligence agencies were tracking a potential Iranian assassination plot against Mr. Trump in the weeks before the assassination attempt that prompted the Secret Service to enhance security for the former president before his outdoor campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
01:27:34.000It is not clear if the scheme made public on Tuesday precipitated those moves.
01:27:39.000Mr. Merchant orchestrated a plot to assassinate U.S.
01:27:42.000government officials and steal information on U.S.
01:27:45.000soil, said prosecutors in documents unsealed today.
01:27:49.000After spending time in Iran, Merchant flew from Pakistan to the United States to recruit hitmen to carry out his scheme.
01:27:57.000The Bureau had been investigating Mr. Merchant for weeks before they arrested him as he attempted to leave the country from New York.
01:28:04.000They relayed details of the case to other federal agencies, including the Secret Service.
01:28:11.000After arriving in the United States in April, Mr. Merchant contacted a person who he thought could help him carry out his plans, which also included organizing protests
01:29:23.000They've known this plot, this totally real, legitimate plot, which is totally real and not fake at all, they have known about and they made the arrest on July 12th.
01:29:38.000A Pakistani national from Iran is coming to kill American government officials and plot pro-Palestine protests.
01:30:28.000They waited until these arson attacks against high-speed rail in Paris before the opening ceremony of the Olympics, which we still don't know what that's about.
01:30:39.000They waited until the race riots in the United Kingdom wound down.
01:30:45.000And they're being defined by people like Tommy Robinson that are making them all about Islam.
01:30:52.000And now we know that, and now it is seeded in the public consciousness, the pump has been primed that the Iranians are out to get us.
01:31:02.000The Iranians are trying to kill our politicians.
01:31:04.000The Iranians are behind these Muslim protests.
01:31:07.000They're probably behind the Muslims in the United Kingdom too.
01:31:13.000Right before maybe preemptive strikes by Israel and a retaliatory strike by Iran.
01:31:20.000Article goes on, it says, After arriving in the United States in April, Mr. Merchant contacted a person that could carry out his plans.
01:31:28.000Instead, his contact quickly told law enforcement officials and became a confidential informant.
01:31:33.000In early June, Mr. Merchant traveled from Texas to New York to visit that person and laid out a scheme that included targeted assassinations of people who are hurting Pakistan and the Muslim world, according to the informant.
01:32:18.000Two suicide bombings, two suicide attacks in eastern Iran.
01:32:23.000It took place at Qasem Soleimani's mausoleum on the anniversary of Qasem Soleimani's death.
01:32:31.000Qasem Soleimani was the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and he was the architect of the Iranian Axis, the Islamic Resistance, which comprises Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, Popular Mobilization Force in Iraq,
01:32:51.000In other words, all of the paramilitary groups that are at war with Israel right now.
01:34:30.000And this group that allegedly sponsored that attack, which came out of nowhere, had previously been backed by Israeli intelligence.
01:34:42.000It was an old group, they changed names, they changed their brand, but it was an old group that 10, 15 years ago, you can find plenty of articles that this Balochistan separatist group was backed by Israeli intelligence, by the United States as well.
01:35:24.000So Iran clearly knew by retaliating against a Mossad spy base in Iraqi Kurdistan, and ISIS in Syria, and this group in Balochistan, the Iranians were sending a message.
01:35:39.000But they maybe didn't have the evidence to prove it publicly.
01:35:42.000Or maybe they didn't want to, because if Iran knew and the world knew that Israel was behind it, it would demand a vigorous response by Iran.
01:36:08.000The political leader of Hamas in Tehran, according to the New York Times, was carried out by a mercenary, hired inside of Iran by Israeli intelligence.
01:36:19.000Snuck into the IRGC compound that the guy was living in, planted explosives, and they blew it up.
01:36:27.000It also reminds me of the Crocus City music hall terror attack in Moscow.
01:36:34.000Do you remember there was a major terror attack earlier in the year in a suburb of Moscow at a concert venue that killed over 100 people?
01:36:42.000We still don't know what exactly transpired there.
01:36:45.000It was very strange, and they blamed it on Tajik Islamists.
01:36:50.000They blamed it on ISIS-K, and ISIS-K operates in Afghanistan, which is in that same neighborhood situated between Pakistan and Iran.
01:36:58.000They blamed it on ISIS-Khorasan, which is allegedly a splinter group from ISIS.
01:37:04.000It is taking root in Afghanistan since the Taliban took over, and it's taking root among the ethnic Tajik minority, and in this cross-border
01:37:57.000And so we're seeing a lot of these events unfold.
01:38:01.000This is why I'm very suspicious, by the way, of the UK race riots, because we're seeing ever since October 7th, there are a lot of unexplained deaths.
01:39:17.000That either sounds like an outright fabrication, or it sounds like an Israeli spy.
01:39:23.000It sounds like some kind of Israeli spy backed
01:39:27.000Patsy, you know, maybe Mossad hired somebody, covertly, groomed somebody from Pakistan or from Iran to come to the United States and get caught to fabricate intelligence about an Iranian plot against American officials.
01:39:45.000And if you think that's crazy, it's not.
01:40:12.000On 9-11, they said that they were able to identify the hijackers of the planes because intact passports fell out of the airplanes that crashed into the Twin Towers.
01:40:26.000They said they know who hijacked the planes because when the hijackers piloted the planes into the buildings and the plane exploded in the building that the passport of the hijackers came flying out and floated down to the ground and someone picked it up and said, uh, attention, New York police, I think I've got a lead.
01:40:49.000And everybody stopped and said, holy shit.
01:43:01.000Saddam is a bully and a pariah, and he's invading his neighbors, and he's gonna invade Saudi Arabia, and he's gonna shoot missiles at Israel.
01:44:43.000So they've been playing the long game, turning the public against these pro-Palestine protesters, calling them terrorists.
01:44:51.000They've been priming the pump with violence and chaos.
01:44:56.000And what they're ultimately going to do after they've primed the pump, you know, mentally, it's predictive programming, they've put it on TV.
01:45:47.000Just like Bin Laden was a fake, just like Saddam was a fa- I mean, they're all- all of these leaders were all formerly backed by American intelligence.
01:52:04.000And as I said at the top of the show, this is a pick that surprised everybody because he was not on the shortlist, at least not until a week ago.
01:52:13.000The four or five that people speculated about, everybody said it's going to be a statewide official, a white guy, who has a certain working class Rust Belt appeal.
01:52:28.000It's all based on the map that they need.
01:52:31.000The map that Kamala needs is Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
01:53:12.000So it's how do we make a dent in the white vote is really the big question.
01:53:17.000And so they had talked about Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, because he's a white guy, very articulate, intelligent, wonky, from South Bend.
01:53:26.000It doesn't get more Rust Belt than that.
01:53:29.000But I always said he's unlikely because he's gay.
01:53:52.000And really the big four that they came down to, and I think there were two that were more likely, two that were less likely,
01:54:00.000Actually, I just said the two that were less likely.
01:54:02.000The two that I thought were the most likely were Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona, he's an astronaut, and he's a white guy in a purple state, pretty conservative, and the governor of Pennsylvania, Joshua Shapiro, who's a Jew, who's a pro-Israel Jew, and the governor of a swing state, a popular, charismatic, wonky governor of a swing state.
01:54:29.000And the talk of the—so this was really the list.
01:54:33.000Tim Walz was not initially in the conversation.
01:54:35.000The big four at one time was Kelly, Shapiro, Buttigieg, maybe Cooper, and Bashir.
01:54:55.000The rumors were that Obama actually wanted Mark Kelly at the top of the ticket.
01:55:00.000Obama initially didn't endorse Kamala because they didn't want her.
01:55:04.000The Obamas actually wanted Kelly to be the nominee for president.
01:55:08.000So they were pushing for Kelly as the VP, and they were looking very seriously at Kelly.
01:55:14.000I think at some point a decision was made that it would be Shapiro, and they had scheduled a big rally in Philadelphia.
01:55:20.000They said, hey, don't read too much into it, but it was pretty obvious that he got the nod.
01:55:24.000And then there were some scandals that emerged about a suicide and a sex scandal, and I think they found out that he failed the background check, failed the vetting.
01:55:35.000And a lot of people talked about the fact that Joshua Shapiro would be a good choice.
01:55:39.000You know, Mark Kelly's in a swing state, Arizona, but Arizona's more favorable to Trump.
01:55:45.000And wrong region, Joshua Shapiro's in the Midwest.
01:55:49.000So he's a neighbor to Michigan, Wisconsin.
01:58:08.000They supported Clinton and Biden, and they flipped to Trump because of October 7th, and because they perceive the Democrats as too pro-Palestine.
01:58:35.000And so there was this speculation that if Josh Shapiro is on the ticket, it gives some of the Jewish donors confidence that it's not going to be a Hamas administration.
01:58:46.000And they might give Kamala some money and, you know,
01:59:04.000And you know what's really funny and ironic?
01:59:08.000Is that the GOP selected Vance to be the VP because he's supposed to be the white whisperer.
01:59:17.000They said after they thought they had it in the bag after the debate and the assassination attempt, Trump made a game day decision to pick Vance.
01:59:27.000And they said, we're going to try to appeal to our base.
01:59:30.000And we're going to try to appeal to Midwesterners with the senator from Ohio who wrote Hillbilly Elegy.
01:59:35.000And it's like, did they read Hillbilly Elegy?
01:59:38.000Because the whole book just shits on Midwesterners.
02:00:24.000So you have these Republican consultants, they're like, how do we appeal to our white base who we hate?
02:00:31.000How do we appeal to these stupid rubes that we absolutely hate and can't stand and can't get rid of soon enough to appeal to blacks and Hispanics?
02:03:25.000And they said, oh, we'll pick this fake weirdo.
02:03:28.000We'll pick this fake weirdo who ran from his roots, couldn't run away fast enough to leap into the arms of Silicon Valley and Yale Law School.
02:03:38.000And into the arms of an Indian wife who he cries about all the time.
02:03:43.000And they said, we'll voice this guy on the Republicans.
02:05:19.000Yeah, we may hate what he represents, which is this like folksy, hippie, left-wing populism, but he is like a normal American from Minnesota.
02:05:40.000And so Walls comes out at the rally, and he's bombastic, and he's comfortable up there, he's charismatic, he makes a joke about Vance having sex with his couch.
02:05:50.000He says, oh yeah, Vance is a normal guy from Ohio, goes to Yale school like they all do, totally normal, big laugh line.
02:05:59.000It's like, damn, I wish we had normal white people.
02:06:03.000I wish we had an actually normal white guy on this campaign.
02:09:24.000They're like going on Facebook and they're like,
02:09:28.000Yeah, like the FBI arrested Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is the shadow president.
02:09:35.000You know, and like the stuff that goes on on like the Mike Lindell network and some of these other things, it's like you're in another planet.
02:09:45.000The GOP is filling up with these kooks and weirdos.
02:09:50.000And I'm like, you know, I'm actually, I mean, I'm a weird guy, but I'm relatively normal.
02:09:55.000Like I want, even though I'm weird, I want a normal party of like normal people.
02:10:02.000And so I look at Tim Walz, and there's like this, the way I would describe it is like an authenticity deficit, where say what you want about the Democrats, and yeah, Kamala's fake.
02:10:15.000And she's kind of, like, post-ironically embraced how, you know, shamelessly fake she is.
02:10:22.000But when I see someone like Tim Walz versus J.D.
02:10:24.000Vance, I'm like, that kind of encapsulates the difference lately between Democrats and Republicans, which is like, Democrats, they just represent normalcy.
02:10:36.000And Republicans, they, in a sense, they have like a more normal politics, like they're pro-Christian and they're pro-white and, well, they're barely pro-white, they're barely pro-Christian anymore.
02:10:48.000But they just kind of represent this, like, freak show now.
02:10:53.000You know, and like Amber Rose was a good example of that too.
02:10:55.000It's just sort of like, it's a big circus.
02:10:58.000It's like a big circus tent, and anybody that will vote for this dying party, they'll just embrace.
02:12:20.000It's like Lady Maga and libertarians and like, you know, Hasidic Jews and neocons and log cabin Republicans and this weird diversity thing.
02:12:36.000I don't really know what this is even really supposed to be in favor of anymore.
02:12:40.000Like, what are we really even fighting for in this party?
02:12:43.000Anyway, but this is it from the New York Times.
02:12:45.000This is quote, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared for the first time alongside her newly announced running mate, Tim Walz of Minnesota.
02:12:54.000Democrats proved quick to embrace their new ticket on Tuesday, and the Harris campaign said it had raised more than $20 million in the hours since Mr. Walz's selection became official this morning.
02:13:06.000In the span of roughly two weeks, Mr. Walz, a folksy former social studies teacher and football coach,
02:13:13.000Went from a little-known Midwestern governor to a Democratic star.
02:13:17.000His rise was fueled by his catchy attacks on former President Trump, including declarations that Republicans were pushing weird ideas.
02:13:26.000Democrats hope he can appeal to middle-of-the-road voters, especially in the upper Midwest.
02:13:32.000Republicans, however, see openings to brand Ms.
02:13:34.000Harris and Mr. Walz as beholden to the most progressive forces in their party.
02:13:40.000On Tuesday, they cast the Minnesota governor's record as overly liberal, especially on issues around public safety.
02:13:47.000Appearing in Philadelphia before the Harris-Walls rally, the Republican vice presidential nominee, J.D.
02:13:53.000Vance, slammed Mr. Walls as a San Francisco-style liberal who represents the radical left of the Democratic Party.
02:14:02.000Mr. Walls has worked with his state's Democratic-controlled legislature to enact an ambitious agenda of liberal policies.
02:14:10.000Free college tuition for low-income students, free meals for school children, legal marijuana, protections for transgender people.
02:14:19.000He has also championed climate issues as governor and faced criticism for his response to the George Floyd protests.
02:14:28.000So I don't think casting him as a radical leftist is going to work because he's too folksy.
02:15:40.000And on some level, yeah, like I care about education.
02:15:46.000But they take this guy who's, like I said, he's a football coach, he's a school teacher, he's really a left-wing populist more than he is a liberal.
02:15:55.000He's like a social Democrat left-wing populist.
02:17:19.000Late-term abortion, which are appalling, but based on those social issues, they're going to try and castigate him and paint him as this far-left liberal, but I just don't think it's effective because of the look.
02:17:32.000He's a big, fat, white guy, football coach, teacher, and he represents something that's familiar to a lot of people in the Midwest, which is like this rural Democrat, this, like I said, left-wing populist, social Democrat.
02:19:41.000Tim Walz was able to win in 2016 in a district that went for Trump, that went heavily for Trump in 2016 in Minnesota.
02:19:50.000And that was probably the calculus, is that if Tim Walz, if you could have a split ticket, where in his district Donald Trump carries by double digits, but a Democrat could win also, well, the calculus is obvious.
02:20:05.000This is a Democrat that Trump voters don't mind.
02:20:09.000This is a Democrat that Trump voters might like.
02:20:53.000Are Republicans prepared to put abortion in the middle of their attacks on the Democrats?
02:20:57.000I don't think that's a good idea, actually.
02:21:00.000They're gonna hit him on BLM because Walz was the governor during the BLM riots.
02:21:06.000Yeah, I don't think that works because Donald Trump was the president during the BLM riots and he deliberately stood down at the behest of Sean Hannity.
02:21:16.000So, I actually think it was a good pick by the Democrats.
02:21:50.000And Republicans are going to say, excuse me, because of transgenderism and abortion.
02:22:00.000And if this election becomes about transgenderism and abortion, we're going to lose.
02:22:05.000If it becomes about the radical left versus the right down the middle conservatives that are just going to cut your taxes, we're going to lose.
02:24:08.000And then the beginning of September, there's going to be no presidential debate, and they're going to say Donald Trump backed out because he's a coward.
02:24:16.000So it's going to be another week of this.
02:24:21.000And all of the polls are trending in the same direction.
02:24:41.000Instead of Republicans saying to the leadership of the campaign, which is Susie Wiles and La Savita, instead of saying to these people, hey, WTF, get it in gear.
02:27:24.000But they don't want to risk upsetting them and then for four years they're exiled from Washington.
02:27:32.000You know, but I know I'm not going to get a job in the Trump administration because I'm actually a loyalist.
02:27:37.000And once again, you know, we're being gatekept out.
02:27:40.000So I'll say, hey, Houston, we have a problem.
02:27:45.000So I think Tim Walz is a formidable choice and I think he highlights a lot of the problems that you have with Vance and with the messaging in general.
02:30:56.000Because I thought that, you know, the highest level investment bankers and top lawyers and high-powered CEOs, I thought when they're looking to have superhuman energy and health, I thought they'd be doing things like cutting out seed oils or drinking raw eggs rather than taking Adderall or cocaine or amphetamines.
02:31:24.000Polish guy sent $10, some stupid raw meat diet or whatever else is not going to make you smarter or more competitive than someone taking Adderall wired out of their mind.
02:31:33.000Your assumptions are correct don't trust these raw egg psyops it's all just cope.
02:32:08.000I guess it depends on if I'm able to stay on social media.
02:32:11.000You know, are they going to crack down again or are they going to keep it open?
02:32:16.000That's really the function of how well I'll be able to do because, excuse me, you know, if you can't be on social media, you just, you're totally out of the game.
02:32:26.000Not totally, but you're, you're very limited.
02:38:26.000It's so funny when you watch like a normal show like Fox News, and the show is like, you know, these people, they, you know, this dumb bitch has like, oh, I got my necklace on, I got my hair did, I got my glasses, I'm in my little whatever, you know, and they're like, well, the Republican Party is anti-Semitic since Donald Trump's infamous dinner with Nick Fuentes.
02:38:48.000And then you watch this show, and it's just totally off the rails.
02:39:23.000You know, my name gets mentioned in an interview.
02:39:25.000They're like, let's not say that name ever again.
02:39:30.000Well, well, Jessica, ever since President Biden became the most anti-Semitic president in history because he gave $6 billion to Iran last year.
02:44:25.000Twitter sucks sent $5, what you said yesterday about today's youth is so true.
02:44:30.000It's been a year since I've graduated from high school and I've already seen so many smart, promising people who I knew since elementary school become sexual freaks and alcoholic losers.
02:44:40.000Yep, I saw it happen with a lot of people I know too.
02:53:22.000HLF Mexican, HLF Palestinian sent $10.
02:53:26.000The dog and pony show that is being trotted out to us on both sides is so out of touch with reality they keep pushing regular Americans to become apathetic and polite.
02:53:33.000God, my local GOP parade literally led with Israeli flags with signs saying vote Republican, vote American.
02:53:51.000So we just need a mass movement of normal people for normal things.
02:53:54.000Like, I really believe there is a future.
02:53:59.000You have a GOP that's like pro-industrialization, pro-tariff, it's against immigration, it's for the ecology, and it's restraint in foreign policy.
02:54:59.000And there's other ecological, even things like, and this is where climate even comes into conflict with ecology, even things like carbon capture, where they capture the carbon and they send it in a pipeline and they use it for oil drilling.
02:55:22.000And it's like, so a lot of these like,
02:55:25.000Even electric cars, electric cars are not good for the environment because you have to do all of this mining which is destroying the environment and it's polluting also.
02:55:38.000So we really need an administration that is for common sense things.
02:55:44.000Something that's for like universal health care in some form.
02:55:48.000I mean, it's going to improve infrastructure, education, tariffs.
02:55:53.000Instead of cutting taxes, it's tariffs.
02:55:57.000Instead of deregulation and financialization, it should be reindustrialization.
02:56:02.000Let's invest in advanced manufacturing.
02:56:05.000Let's invest in the industries of the future.
02:56:08.000Let's protect the companies we have that make the technology of the future.
02:56:13.000Let's use the government to invent the, you know, people don't even realize the government
02:56:18.000The government initiates all the big technological advances.
02:56:28.000So we should have a government policy that industrializes our country, brings manufacturing and a productive sector back to the economy, brings the financial sector back to an appropriate level.
02:56:44.000So, we need a Republican Party that does these things, but it's against a lot of the interests.
03:01:10.000Is it the person asking for their advice about their brother who saw Black Eye die in front of his church?
03:01:17.000Or was it the one who said he had ravioli tonight?
03:01:23.000Or was it the guy that asked about how my conspiracy theory about Israel applies to the post-Fatima Catholic Church and the Satanistas and the Jesuits?
03:01:36.000It's hard to pick from all of these brilliant superchats that enrich and
