Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to this week's edition of Thought Crime.
00:00:29.180
Jack Posobiec here. Your host, Charlie Kirk, is on his way. I'm here in Washington, D.C., where it was a little bit cold today, but we're going to talk a little bit about some ways that the local residents are using to heat themselves this week on the cold, cold streets of Washington, D.C.
00:00:50.760
But joining me back in studio over in warm and sunny Phoenix, we've got Blake and we've got Tyler. What's up, guys?
00:01:01.700
What is the weather like? I honestly know it's like 38 and we had a crazy windstorm all last night throughout the night.
00:01:11.160
So I constantly kept getting woken up in the middle of the night thinking that people were like breaking into the house or that the kids were running around.
00:01:17.940
So let's just say the Second Amendment was well exercised.
00:01:20.940
Well, it is a chilly 72 degrees here. So that's why I'm wearing a jacket. It's freezing, freezing.
00:01:28.860
We had a couple of clouds yesterday. It was terrible.
00:01:30.840
Yeah. You know, I'm thinking about I'm thinking about this proverb I heard once, Jack, which is if you start a man a fire, he'll be warm for an evening.
00:01:41.060
But if you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
00:01:45.060
And that that, of course, gets into our first topic, as we've been alluding to here.
00:01:51.820
I call him Colonel Crispy. I don't know if others have their own nicknames for this fellow, but it's been a surprisingly long lived story.
00:02:00.640
I saw a lot of predictions when it happened that this was a super pointless gesture because our media cycle is so fast that if you do a stupid kill yourself stunt, everyone will move on within 24 hours.
00:02:13.200
But this this Bushnell guy, he's made it a solid week.
00:02:17.500
Let's let's let's let's give some context before we before we start, you know, getting into the thought crimes of it, because in a sense, this was a thought crime which became a sort of physical crime, actual crime in the real world where so this we are going to play a video.
00:02:35.520
And many people have seen this and heard of the story where a young airman.
00:02:40.820
So active duty Air Force member, a guy who, by the way, was an intelligence analyst, intelligence analyst in the in the United States military working on Fort Meade, which is not far away from Washington, D.C.,
00:02:57.700
decided to protest the war in Gaza, Israel's war in Gaza by going to the Israeli embassy and lighting himself on fire.
00:03:08.780
And so I'll throw a warning out that if you have young people watching right now, you should probably just kind of turn this off for the next probably about the next 10 minutes or so.
00:03:19.080
If you want to skip the topic completely, definitely for the next minute, because we are going to play the video.
00:03:23.760
And as a reminder, and I see folks in the chat saying this, that, yes, it is still Lent and I must I must keep my promise to not be mean to anyone online during Lent.
00:03:35.940
Blake, I assume we'll be we'll be picking up the slack.
00:03:42.980
OK, so without further ado, let's play cut one one eight.
00:04:22.040
you know i was watching this with some family members the other day and they they did point
00:04:39.420
out it's it's not the best look for the local police to whip out their gun and point it at the
00:04:44.500
guy who's 100 on fire and screaming it didn't seem like the most useful response but it's also
00:04:51.540
pretty unusual to run into someone just setting themselves on fire so i'm not sure what i would
00:04:56.140
you never you do never know because um i'll say this from someone who's run um you know security
00:05:03.040
operations and been in the military that when you're in a situation like that you never know
00:05:07.520
what's going to come next uh you don't know if this guy had a suicide device on him you don't know if
00:05:12.360
he's going to get up and start attacking you you don't know what's going to happen and so if you're
00:05:17.040
a security officer and your job is to protect the security of the consulate or you know just
00:05:22.240
the people who are walking around or the embassy i think it is the embassy um it you know that would
00:05:26.380
certainly be following the training and maybe that actually and by the way at the same time protecting
00:05:31.340
the first responder who's going in to try to help because in washington dc of all places this wouldn't
00:05:36.700
be the first time that there had been a fire and someone tried to attack the person who was putting
00:05:40.240
it out absolutely absolutely and of course the bigger thing here that that's really interesting
00:05:45.840
is just the the meta responses to it uh one of the big ones that happened over the last oh i will
00:05:51.860
throw out that um uh just for anyone who still doesn't know the story um he did end up passing away
00:05:57.660
so he died from not immediately but from um i think i think it was actually just just a totality of
00:06:04.580
injuries later on that evening he didn't wait he didn't die on the spot no he didn't die on the
00:06:11.340
spot they actually got him to the hospital how did they get it how did they put him out i think they
00:06:16.780
had fire extinguishers of then yeah i don't know no no there is a fire maybe we we may have clipped it
00:06:22.400
off um but there is so he there is a fire extinguisher that did we forget if we played or not but yeah
00:06:32.160
there's um okay so we have the longer do you guys want to play clip 119 so this 119 it's without the
00:06:38.260
audio but towards the end of it you can see it has the yeah let's go ahead and play it because at the
00:06:43.380
end of it it has the um what blake is talking about there's this it's hard to tell i think it's
00:06:49.220
someone from embassy security who does have a firearm uh that comes out and then someone else who seems to
00:06:55.800
be an emergency support that has um that has the fire extinguisher that's putting them out so
00:07:00.860
right you've got sort of the gun and the person with the fire extinguisher at the same time well
00:07:05.460
if it makes you feel better tyler if you have third degree burns it stops hurting because you burn
00:07:10.920
away the pain yeah i mean he must have been he must have been in a coma until he died right i don't know
00:07:16.700
i'm not an expert it's unlikely it's unlikely he was conscious he's very unlikely i mean but still the
00:07:24.040
excruciating pain of oh they put him out wow okay so you haven't seen this video all right well
00:07:31.720
that's why i didn't see that i i i was telling you guys at least that are showing up um this area dc
00:07:38.720
um does have a lot of police in it as as a regular basis on a regular basis i remember when i worked in
00:07:44.360
capitol hill if there was ever an incident um there's certain you know problem areas obviously the
00:07:49.680
israeli embassy has been since you know really since october 7th has been a place that has higher
00:07:54.400
security higher police presence just because of the hostilities um and but i remember the you know
00:08:00.600
on capitol hill the police response was incredible it was like like three minutes four minutes you'd
00:08:05.140
have people there wow yeah so obviously we should also say um that uh one piece of information so i
00:08:12.620
remember when i first saw the video on twitter i was like i was wondering how do we have the video
00:08:16.420
because obviously he did not upload the video himself later and turns out that when i dug into
00:08:23.120
it he went and so this guy full-fledged member of antifa uh full-fledged antifa supporter while
00:08:30.140
currently serving in the military um blake i'll have a question for you about that in a minute
00:08:33.900
um but had been participated in numerous antifa events in the past and he was actually an active
00:08:42.380
twitch user and so this video of himself and there's a whole other aspect to this that we have
00:08:48.760
to talk about where he actually did this essentially to go viral because he was live streaming to his
00:08:55.840
twitch account uh when he killed himself and that's how we have the video of it oh no way well we've got
00:09:02.500
i mean people live stream everything now i think we've we're at more than one mass shooting that's
00:09:06.840
been live streamed so multiple we definitely live in the age of one suicide you know going as viral
00:09:13.960
as possible in a very macabre way but man this i mean i can't think of any suicide that's that's
00:09:21.540
gone this big before not not like this well the last the other famous guy to self-immolate got on the
00:09:27.520
cover of a rage against the machine album so maybe this guy will get on the inside of a re-release on
00:09:33.040
vinyl or something he'll get but he may he may end up uh tattooed on someone's face but so but to get
00:09:40.720
into the bigger big picture thought crime elements of it so first of all one of the funniest outcomes
00:09:46.600
of this after it happened is obviously a lot of people on the left really support the cause bushnell
00:09:53.240
was killing himself over and so they wanted to have a positive response so some people said uh rest in
00:09:59.580
power aaron bushnell aaron bushnell was the guy's name i'm not sure if we ever said that and so they
00:10:05.400
say rest in power which is the same thing they've said about uh george floyd um trayvon martin a lot of
00:10:11.760
those kind of blm cause celebs and this caused backlash because several people were saying you can't say
00:10:18.640
rest in power for aaron bushnell because that's actually a phrase you should only use uh for black
00:10:25.820
for black people who are killed now i will note aaron bushnell did become black but they don't
00:10:32.100
seem to be recognizing that transition so for example we have this image some random twitter user
00:10:38.240
uh can we not use this phrase on white men please i get the sentiment but rest in power is historically
00:10:44.780
used to mourn black people who were killed by hate crimes and police and that's been a somewhat
00:10:52.680
common response and so there's a very it feels like something out of a black comedy or something
00:10:58.820
where this guy literally kills himself to get cred with the left and instead they complain about
00:11:06.680
whether you know they're using the right terms and their perpetual you know grievance hierarchy
00:11:12.460
i'm sorry i've tried so hard to not laugh this entire time but it's like it is so out of control
00:11:18.920
ridiculous the what they did to this guy afterwards like the fact that there are questions you know i i
00:11:26.060
didn't make a lenten promise to not laugh at people on the internet so i i'm going to embrace it yes he
00:11:31.840
died but some deaths are funny and there's a lot about this death that is funny and it's grim too
00:11:39.520
i wish he had not made the decisions in his life that led to him making this decision becoming the
00:11:45.840
stay puff marshmallow man yeah but you know he chose to do a dumb thing in in the service of a
00:11:52.680
cause i will note that is repugnant as well he he did this in like to support palestine in the
00:11:59.720
context of hamas just went and murdered a thousand people and is then throwing this butthurt temper
00:12:04.900
tantrum that israel didn't take this very well and is behind them and they're all like oh
00:12:09.800
here's an aspect to ask about this what are we to make of the fact that this was a guy who as far
00:12:19.460
as we know was was not muslim so i don't think there's a religious aspect here that that could
00:12:24.840
come out so i don't know but what do they make of the fact that this guy is a u.s air force member
00:12:29.120
in the united states who's not directly involved in the conflict uh presumably doesn't have any family
00:12:36.060
members who are involved in the conflict yet he's willing to become so radicalized by something that
00:12:40.700
he basically got into online over it when you don't have people who like i don't know live in the
00:12:46.300
region or any of these jihadist organizations that are like literally right there you know either
00:12:53.260
operating throughout the sinai muslim brotherhood and others or like hezbollah that are even getting
00:12:58.240
involved i think the leader of hezbollah came out and said something like oh we're monitoring the
00:13:01.940
situation and you don't have anybody that's doing things like this in the region and you get this
00:13:07.400
guy who says well i'm going to go viral on twitch to uh to show people how hardcore i am well with the
00:13:13.760
i will say with the islamic angle of it where they're closer to it they definitely do a lot of suicide
00:13:18.860
stuff but they can do what's more effective suicide if you will you know you do a suicide bombing you
00:13:26.460
we wear a suicide vest you ride on a paraglider to attack a concert full of hippies and this you
00:13:35.140
know you're less able to do that and i think it also goes against a lot of our moral intuitions it
00:13:40.280
is bad to do something like that whereas we do have a long tradition of of protest and i guess it
00:13:48.100
doesn't immediately get to me what people have different responses to this because my personal moral
00:13:54.620
intuition is that it is not heroic to kill yourself purely to purely as a stunt but clearly like did
00:14:04.920
this work did bb netanyahu come out and say oh my gosh i i watched this terrible video it's it's what
00:14:11.260
was i thinking it's all um you know everybody pulled back we're over now it didn't work with him but i do
00:14:17.460
think there's a sense that there are a decent number of normies or normal-ish people who seem
00:14:23.000
awed by this who seem in some way impressed that this person was so committed to it that it in some
00:14:31.480
sense boosted the cause or you know gave him raised awareness or something like that well i mean here's
00:14:37.820
but here's the reality and like everything i was thinking about there's no way this guy had this idea
00:14:42.660
on his own right i think he might have had this idea you think so so somebody did americans somebody did
00:14:49.940
this in december um there was a girl i just looked this up really before the show yeah there was a
00:14:57.500
girl who and it was reported but it wasn't live streamed and i don't have it in front of me i have
00:15:03.560
something else in front of me but i think it was like the con because i think it was at the consulate
00:15:07.980
in well there's there's a history of people you know you performing self-immolation it's all it's
00:15:12.900
really old and then famously from the vietnam yeah it's the uh can we if you guys want to look
00:15:19.360
it up quick i'll here i'll just bring it up the rage against the machine album and then and then
00:15:23.620
the um the whole arab spring was you know outside of the cia elements was kicked off by a guy who um
00:15:30.520
what was his name uh a guy doing it in tunisia oh the tunisian guy yeah so it's definitely something
00:15:37.080
that by the way which by the way blake you'll you'll appreciate it has also been um has also been
00:15:42.320
denounced ritualistically yeah yeah but so the the rage against the machine album cover the the guy's
00:15:47.700
name was uh thick quong duke i can't pronounce vietnamese but he was a monk who monks do this
00:15:56.900
well yeah but monks do this but they're not supposed to shout and scream in the middle of it
00:16:00.620
yeah well it depends on who's who's doing it i guess yeah he famously completely he was the
00:16:07.000
israeli consulate in atlanta georgia december 1st so december 1st he's really consulate
00:16:12.240
in atlanta but monks monks are are you're not supposed to do you're not supposed to scream
00:16:17.400
so that's what i'm saying so we're so if he got the idea from the girl i'm trying to trace this
00:16:22.420
back jack we have to do some tracing here if he got the if they got the idea from monks monks don't
00:16:28.340
scream so they didn't do it right so he didn't do it right he didn't light himself on fire well
00:16:33.740
it's just it i don't i cannot i don't know there's really rules for all of no there's rules
00:16:37.560
monks will tell you there's rules to self-immolation but i don't think they take they take a vow of
00:16:41.560
silence maybe maybe because this guy i wish this guy had taken a vow of like cringelessness because
00:16:47.820
unfortunately well he didn't do it very well this is going to i wish he had taken one because
00:16:53.220
unfortunately this is going to live on forever it's kind of hard to watch something like that
00:16:57.700
and you you know you just can't unsee it you can't unsee it and so i guess my question no it's
00:17:03.520
what's really interesting is you know blake i i don't know if this has had any effect on people's
00:17:09.360
opinion of the war i i think it's it's gotten some it's gotten people more involved in it and it
00:17:15.440
sparked a conversation but i kind of feel like if you've got a position on this you're not changing
00:17:20.100
it at this point what were his last words what did he say free palestine ala akbar free free
00:17:26.560
palestine welcome charlie welcome to your your studio yes thank you sorry i was stuck in traffic
00:17:31.980
um but it was like free palestine right yeah yeah it was just kind of free palestine maybe his last
00:17:38.400
words were he kind of it is quite painful to set yourself a muslim was that a muslim prayer was that
00:17:45.080
the was that the call it was that the always hard to tell always hard to tell i have seen some
00:17:49.700
speculation that he may not have actually intended to die uh some people have kind of thought he
00:17:55.680
might have been looking around like were people gonna put him out he might not have expected the
00:17:59.580
fire oh wow in which case wait he set up the he set up the fire extinguishers by his phone oh did
00:18:06.940
he i didn't know i'm asking that question is that where they get fire extinguishers or could he
00:18:11.080
maybe he called 911 before he did it or or he just might have not expected the fire to be that
00:18:16.440
live streamed maybe someone yeah he live streamed it so maybe he thought i don't i don't kind of
00:18:20.200
rush in and save i don't think he called it in i think that's just in an area of dc that has a ton
00:18:25.140
of security around it at all the times yeah but what was the what was the sound that was that rolling
00:18:30.660
sound that's that's cleveland park like that's up by no it sounded like a camera going out towards
00:18:36.480
did he knock over the uh the fire extinguisher i don't know i don't know the whole the whole like
00:18:42.200
you know this isn't the zap rooter film here it's not it's not the mechanics of his death that
00:18:47.100
are most interesting to me what's most interesting to me is that he did it that people are again like
00:18:53.820
jack said that people are this radicalized about something that's in a different country that he
00:19:01.060
our military is not directly involved in our country is not super directly involved in and yet
00:19:06.400
he killed himself over it and then the other fascinating thing to me is is the reaction to it and
00:19:11.840
like in the bigger picture it's the way that a lot of people even on even on the right i've noticed
00:19:19.260
there's more sympathy support for the palestinian cause especially on twitter and the like in a way
00:19:26.740
i definitely don't feel i saw in the past no i think that's exactly right um hi everyone i'm here now
00:19:33.900
everyone did such a great job i was watching on my way in um so a couple thoughts it's just it's
00:19:39.340
amazing how this this is how a service member gets talked about more than anything else is they light
00:19:45.400
themselves on fire for a foreign country's conflict than like dying for the american cause i think that's
00:19:51.900
the buried lead here is that like you want to get remembered as a service member okay light yourself
00:19:56.820
on fire in support of like a foreign conflict yeah and i agree blake i think that there's more i think
00:20:03.560
that the i mean i'm very pro-israel and i just i think that the pro-israel position in the conservative
00:20:08.720
movement is weakening do you see that definitely it's weakening uh it's you know you'll see it last
00:20:15.220
at the congressional level i think you still see a bit of that massey has said stuff critical of us
00:20:20.420
just sending tons of money there for example uh and that's where i think you see that going away
00:20:25.900
first is there's much more skepticism of sending as much money as we can to israel there you know
00:20:31.660
we'll say moral support we'll say you know in a geostrategic sense we support them but you know
00:20:37.300
america has an open border america is broke maybe we don't unthinkingly send 20 billion dollars to
00:20:43.220
them every time something seems up uh but you do see it even on the more extreme end especially on
00:20:49.180
twitter you can find a lot of personalities who just are vocally they just favor so they support
00:20:56.660
palestine in this though why do you think that is honestly people might get mad at me for saying
00:21:02.620
this but it is called thought crime i think i think a little bit of this is there's two things i would
00:21:08.320
say one is just genuine anti-semitism i think it's a brain virus that gets inside people it's uh you
00:21:15.500
know waxes and wanes but it's just something that pops up a lot and so that manifests that way and then
00:21:20.960
another thing is it's sort of like it's no secret in america that the left that democrats are sort of
00:21:29.160
the they're they're the regime as we say they are the prestige ideology that is what academia is that
00:21:35.380
is what elites are in class yeah the ruling class and so by comparison the normie they'll it's lower
00:21:41.100
status to be conservative that's just how it is i'm conservative it is lower status to be conservative
00:21:45.380
you don't get as many perks benefits and treated as well it's like solidarity with another group
00:21:50.680
that is the lower status group that they're the palestinians they are poorer they are weaker
00:21:59.920
wait are you saying that like around white rural voters see themselves in the palestinians i don't
00:22:04.840
think it's so much white rural voters yeah exactly because of the msnbc thing yeah are you getting that
00:22:10.600
a maga voter in ohio that feels disenfranchised from their government has like weird solidarity
00:22:17.120
with the palestinian maybe not maga ones but definitely on twitter you can find it okay so
00:22:22.020
like a young 26 year old conservative blogger for i mean i agree there there seems to be a splintering
00:22:28.860
10 years ago there was like unanimous support for israel right tyler and the conservative movement it
00:22:36.220
was it wasn't even a question it's still like 95 you think you think it's still overwhelming yeah
00:22:42.180
it's like 95 but blake you're seeing something different i mean i see it among some influencers
00:22:46.540
yeah well it's like you know jackson hinkle is a guy who went on tucker carlson's show and i
00:22:51.820
believe he's a big palestine supporter uh there's that guy keith woods i think i can tell you some guy
00:22:57.640
in ireland i can tell you why though i mean i think that you know there's going to i still think it's
00:23:03.380
like predominant and that's why we're winning over jewish voters like incredibly at incredible
00:23:07.840
amounts but here's the difference is that you have the same educational problem that we have for all
00:23:16.060
young conservatives that are going through this so they're finding themselves as libertarian
00:23:22.260
conservatives they're anti-war now which is a big deal which is a really big deal when you talk about
00:23:27.200
israel and like every i think there's going to be a a natural place to be like i don't want to send
00:23:31.140
money to israel i don't want to go to war uh but then also you overlay that with like what's like
00:23:36.160
triggering the background is that they've been they've been taught to hit israel because of these
00:23:40.660
leftist you know professors and teachers and so people are going to figure out over time and
00:23:46.720
ultimately i think what's going to end up happening is that that we're going to as people age and they
00:23:51.820
become more conservative and they become more family friendly they also become more friendly to
00:23:55.880
israel because they understand that that's like a not such a bad thing to have friends in the
00:24:01.640
middle east right like like again but most people are we're so far detached from foreign policy i think
00:24:07.000
in modern america where it's it's totally different from the even the 70s 80s and 90s where people had
00:24:13.020
like some leftover foreign policy experiencing following world war ii i think yeah i i think just to
00:24:20.600
you know throw out there i mean there's a couple of things like that are going all around the same time
00:24:24.340
but you know i think one of the biggest things is that we are living through the america first era
00:24:28.960
now and we've spent you know two years on the right uh blake as you say starting with with tucker
00:24:36.380
but also with sort of the trump era going in and saying how does this directly affect americans how does
00:24:42.900
this directly affect americans and it wasn't you know during any of that time focused on israel but now
00:24:48.120
that israel has come around i think you're getting that same sentiment come up so it doesn't mean i don't
00:24:53.580
think it necessarily means that by and large people are becoming more anti-israel i mean obviously this
00:24:58.520
there is a very vocal anti-israel uh segment but i just think in general when it comes from a
00:25:04.380
political sense that you're hearing people and thomas massey i think is reflecting at the most in
00:25:08.020
congress that are just sick of foreign wars for sure that is definitely you see the reduction in
00:25:16.020
people you see the things why does this have to do with america why do we need to spend money there
00:25:19.980
why do we need to care about this i definitely see more of that but you do see on the edge a group
00:25:26.580
that is just overtly pro-palestine no that anti-israel yeah and yeah oh i think andrew said
00:25:35.760
said in our chat here he thinks some of it is a sense they've been hoodwinked hoodwinked and on
00:25:40.780
whatever hoodwinked on israel and i kind of get that that there's a sense that you can support israel but
00:25:48.600
there's a lot of stuff where if you hear enough about it you start to feel like you know it's the
00:25:54.200
classic like google the uss liberty thing like you know people if they've never heard of stuff and
00:25:58.880
sometimes they they get oversold stuff i think there are some evangelicals who think israel is
00:26:03.800
like a christian country or whatever and uh it gets i mean it's not without fault it's not without
00:26:09.340
faults and you know you can learn stuff about it where if you've been fed what's almost this like
00:26:14.720
propaganda level version of it you feel like you've been lied to so and i just i mean i'm biased
00:26:21.280
because i love israel and i visited twice and it changed my life and being able to go to the garden
00:26:25.500
of gethsemane and see the garden tomb in the old city and go to capernaum and hebron i just i mean
00:26:31.860
jack you share my love of israel so i always have to preface this is that i just i love the country i love
00:26:38.640
it in its current form i was treated super well when i went there and i don't know if i'd have the same
00:26:43.380
access to my precious holy sites if it was under arab control yeah now this is a recent thing uh that
00:26:48.500
has been in the news so you know jonathan pollard uh yeah he's the spy he was a spy am i right he's a
00:26:55.340
spy who sold u.s seeker uh who spied on the u.s on behalf of israel and i believe i think he got paid
00:27:05.640
for it and there was some bad elements but we caught him and we imprisoned him for life but then
00:27:10.480
we gave him clemency released him and then we let him move to israel and now jonathan pollard is
00:27:18.200
advocating for the palestinians to be sent to the west and you know there was a large political
00:27:27.060
lobby that just doesn't help it doesn't help things there's i think there's often a sense
00:27:32.660
and like you know those op-eds that were running that we reacted to saying like oh you should take
00:27:37.000
the palestinians because that's the great thing to do i think there's a lot of sense people feel
00:27:41.460
like we're dupes so and i will say on that particular topic that one really fired we went hard at that
00:27:47.360
one really hard for sure and then i had people i really respect that come on our show about israel
00:27:52.480
call me and say oh no that's not what the op-ed says and i'll say please stop yeah right blake i mean
00:27:58.500
in clearest language or they say oh it's not the government saying this like this is the foreign
00:28:03.920
affairs minister saying that the west should take palestinian refugees i think they backpedaled
00:28:09.260
from that pretty quickly though yeah and what i told my friends in israel and my friends that
00:28:13.960
advocate for israel i said if you start losing right-wing evangelicals on israel on the like it's
00:28:19.660
gonna go bad like you can't you get you like you have to draw a line in the sand no palestinian
00:28:24.380
refugees to the west like you this is your base i remember that you know there was another thing
00:28:29.420
where someone in the knesset proposed a bill that i think was gonna restrict or abolish uh christian
00:28:34.720
proselytization in in israel and then netanyahu came out and she says yeah no we're scuttling that
00:28:41.460
guys you're not gonna do that yes and i i want to the the problem israel in america does share a
00:28:47.080
problem which is that there's some sus activity in the intel agencies right is that i i love israel as
00:28:53.680
far as it's a place for the jewish people access to holy sites i do believe that there's a place in
00:28:57.640
god's plan for israel we don't have to debate that but some of the israel intel agencies i don't
00:29:01.860
think we have to be an apologist for you know and that's okay i mean i don't apologize for the cia
00:29:07.000
yeah exactly five eyes that's where people lose their minds they you know they read oh israel did
00:29:12.200
this intel op 30 years ago well bros 30 years ago get over it but it's also just i mean base any
00:29:18.980
modern country has pretty clandestine intel operations yeah i mean that's kind of whether it be the
00:29:24.520
uk germany five eyes australia yeah and on your friends and then i feel the need to take a step
00:29:31.480
back and remind people okay well why did this war happen did israel just bomb gaza no this happened
00:29:37.180
because the situation was more peaceful than ever and things were actually looking up they were having
00:29:42.360
all these guest workers come out of gaza they're making more money you can easily imagine a world
00:29:46.860
where that leads to things getting better for everyone they already had the settlements go away so you
00:29:51.740
know they have reasons to be think israel might be a good actor here and then they just go shoot a ton
00:29:56.940
of people kidnap a ton of people out of nowhere you know one of the least expected massive terrorist
00:30:03.980
attacks that we know of and that is why this happened and i think there is a real element this is some
00:30:11.180
sort of brain virus that works on people it's like how people like pit bulls because they're the most
00:30:17.460
violent dog that attacks people yeah yeah we have we done a pit bull not yet we can talk about it
00:30:22.940
another time great but it's like the palestinians gaza is like the hamas they're like the pit bull
00:30:28.840
of global geopolitical causes i also you know this whole like i have to say two things one is there is
00:30:36.340
this kind of uh emphasis like the jews run the world conspiracy if that was if that was true why is the
00:30:43.520
cause of israel getting slaughtered online and in the media like if that really was legit now and as
00:30:49.360
dennis prager would say i will lean on dennis prager that yes jews do happen to do very very well in
00:30:55.300
certain industries right and then the next question is okay so what what does that then mean but i also
00:31:00.100
think it's just largely sloppy thinking of people that want to try to blame a group for some of their
00:31:06.680
own problems yeah and i just i don't i don't like it yeah and it's like oh man jews jews control the
00:31:11.980
media and control all these things well there aren't that many of them and you know there's a
00:31:15.200
billion muslims in the world why don't you guys get your get your act together and it's also just
00:31:20.940
like there's nuance too and i mean i went i was very clear and i stand by these statements that some
00:31:26.080
people in the jewish community have funded the worst left-wing causes out there and then also the
00:31:30.220
number one republican donor the last 10 years is sheldon adelson who gave like 150 million dollars a year
00:31:34.560
and he was you know as pro-israel as it gets i mean there's some nuance there i do want to uh jack can
00:31:39.260
you walk us through this tattoo is it legit jack i i find this you know so it's it's it's everything
00:31:45.120
else we can see on on the internet but yeah there's there's this guy so just to show um you know and
00:31:53.120
and maybe like if you're if you're watching thought crime and you know you're not uh someone who spends
00:31:58.400
a lot of time on the internet that he has become an absolute cause celeb on online i'll say online
00:32:04.400
where you've got elements of as blake says of some people who are super far to the right uh other
00:32:11.160
people that are in different pockets of the right and then a lot of people on the left that are totally
00:32:17.220
um not only just on board with aaron bushnell but they are turning him into a sort of new george floyd
00:32:24.220
almost to the point where where this guy vasa boy on uh on instagram has apparently gotten aaron
00:32:31.720
bushnell's name tattooed along his jawline uh so there you can see aaron bushnell in you know it's
00:32:41.080
not quite cursive but you know quasi cursive lettering um there you go jawline he has to live
00:32:46.880
with that for the rest of his life i think that's aj mclean from backstreet boys is that not
00:32:54.620
i don't know i'm not a backstreet boys listener can't comment tyler's gonna be on his own on that
00:33:02.100
one no i'll show i mean i think it's aj mclean it's clearly i mean that looks like fresh ink to me
00:33:07.480
i i say that as a sing along with backstreet boys songs back in the day oh man we got the guy
00:33:12.580
we're trying to win over moms okay we have to win over mom this is the we're going for the mom
00:33:17.340

his name on his face for the rest of his life all right our next topic our next topic charlie is
00:36:19.740
the veep stakes ah okay trump's gonna win the nomination who's he gonna pick as the vice
00:36:24.880
presidential pick turns out there's been a lot of discussion of this lately the odds
00:36:28.960
are shifting rapidly i'm super curious about that then i'll tell you about my uh conversation with
00:36:33.940
trump oh that's amazing so the betfair favorite right now and this caught me really off guard
00:36:39.520
looking it up just now currently the favorite on betfair which is a british betting site you can bet
00:36:44.440
on this thing in the uk you're blocked if you try to visit in the u.s but they have the favorite right
00:36:48.380
now is christy gnome five to one so still not strong odds but uh second place is vivek and then
00:36:57.260
uh at least stefanik and then the next three this is another strange one um tim or no tim scott
00:37:06.080
nikki haley ben carson and then in seventh place tulsi gabbard hmm so top seven uh i'm not gonna say any
00:37:15.480
like name details but the president has not made up his mind and very much open to a lot of different
00:37:21.540
ideas and uh we had a real robust conversation about it and he wants to win and he's getting
00:37:28.160
i'll tell you right now there are here's what i can tell you he is being actively lobbied by like
00:37:33.240
five or six different camps on this right now i'd be shocked and the name i the name i think that we
00:37:38.700
should really push for to be in the mix as a finalist is jd vance i think jd vance is a finalist
00:37:43.800
right tyler do you think that would make sense yeah jd vance is a top pick um i you know i think
00:37:49.440
at least stefanik would be the first little person ever as vp so she's she's right tall is she i i think
00:37:56.060
she's an lp she's not that little she's not i'm gonna look it up i i'm looking at no i just saw her
00:38:01.260
the other day she's not that little she's not no or what that's okay as a normal height limb length
00:38:08.860
yeah tanya is tanya is five three yeah but she's okay well i mean so you're saying tanya should be
00:38:18.540
vice president jack is that what you're saying yeah but i just think i just don't know if that's
00:38:26.040
going to add much to the ticket i can't believe jack's calling to override the constitution i like
00:38:30.540
jd because he's a very thoughtful communicator of the america first agenda he's from a younger demo
00:38:37.300
he's in his 30s still i i have a plan the perfect plan yes is it the ohio switcheroo the ohio
00:38:43.980
switcheroo yes you get jd in as svp and then you force dewine to put in the vague as senator
00:38:52.300
that's the how do you force him what if dewine just says no gunpoint whatever not at gunpoint
00:38:58.780
no wrong nerf gun nerf gun he means nerf gun yeah i mean so so just you know we asked our audience
00:39:05.360
on youtube over 124 000 people responded and vivek won with 67 of the vote of youtube now mind
00:39:15.480
you that makes sense youtube is a lot of young right right wing bitcoin but you know men kind
00:39:23.200
of like crypto oh my goodness ripple is gonna go to ten dollars like no it's actually still at 50 i think
00:39:27.980
i want i want vivek to have a political job before he gets i love it i think vivek would be great i've
00:39:34.380
liked what he said i think vivek helps with independence i think he helps with a very particular
00:39:38.520
demo which is late 20 early 30 something high iq professional college educated millennial men
00:39:44.540
who listen to rogan listen to long-form podcasting that kind of rfk demo i think that vivek could help
00:39:51.940
with do i do i think rfk do i think vivek helps with single women no do i think he helps with
00:39:57.240
suburban moms probably not um but i do think and i also old people love vivek like they love vivek
00:40:02.500
now the question is do you need vivek on a ticket to get that benefit i think he could be a great
00:40:06.680
surrogate yeah he could be a surrogate yeah uh i guess the ship has sailed here i agree he could
00:40:11.480
have been a cool guy with the rnc some sort of role like that no he'd be a great u.s senator
00:40:16.000
hopefully because the the problem is is you lose jd you got to win the that that happens after the
00:40:21.880
the winning i understand but you you lose jd though like that then vivek can become this
00:40:27.860
solid he'd be awesome because he'd be front face super popular we have no one cool in the u.s senate
00:40:33.460
if we if it isn't a couple people we got holly he's cool i yeah but like even holly like isn't
00:40:38.940
vivek right holly that's true vivek could do things because of the way that he's run his campaign thus
00:40:45.400
far where it's like he can literally be the front face of opposition for everything that the democrats
00:40:53.000
do and get away with it do you think jack that this vp selection will be the more important i want
00:40:59.800
to say the most but one of the more important vp selections of our lifetime so yes and no um
00:41:08.400
i think that it's it's important because but for not the reasons that we're talking about
00:41:14.100
so i think it's important because trump is termed limited to one term um now as far as we know he
00:41:21.440
doesn't at least as of now intend to declare himself president for life the way that uh msnbc
00:41:27.960
is telling us uh then again of course msnbc has has many things to say lately so we'll see but no
00:41:34.020
if you just look at it on on paper whoever gets the vp nod from trump on this one while he's the odds
00:41:40.240
on favor to become president is really launched into contention for being a potential two-term
00:41:45.940
president so you could take a guy like jd vance who hasn't even been in office now for two years
00:41:52.500
the same way barack obama was only in office also from the midwest by the way um well i'm not gonna
00:41:57.440
say barack obama's from the midwest but a midwest state uh where he was senator that um he you know
00:42:03.820
had only been a senator for two years and then springboarded into the presidency this is a huge
00:42:07.600
springboard for somebody going forward and really someone who's going to be that kind of that
00:42:12.420
working you know that that working horse putting the plow to the wheel every single day for the party
00:42:18.580
going forward that especially a young guy like jd that'd be incredible but then as far as the actual
00:42:24.740
electoral benefits of it i just i'm not seeing it um i i you know people have said um there's a lot of
00:42:31.420
buzz around tulsi gabbard saying oh put put on a you know she's female she's non-white i have the
00:42:37.260
democrats i gotta draw the line and then tulsi gabbard i just don't buy it i'm sorry that is a bad
00:42:41.800
idea to have a liberal who used to run the dnc as the vice president of the united states
00:42:46.700
to finish sorry it's i don't think any of these ideas are going to pick up votes i don't think
00:42:54.340
there's any any of the names are going to change anyone's opinion of donald trump at this point
00:43:00.120
it's baked in people know what it is they know who they're voting for um pete no one is going to
00:43:05.640
change their votes based on who donald trump picks as vice president this is this is why i did
00:43:10.680
i like this is why i liked tucker carlson last fall i would talk about this i don't think it can work
00:43:16.020
anymore i still i like certain elements of it i'm worried he's increased potential downside with
00:43:23.920
you know the russia stuff that we've talked about not so much the interview they were going to complain
00:43:28.140
about stuff like that anyway but you know him going into the subway system and talking about how great
00:43:33.100
it is that that can get you open to attacks that are just annoying to deal with the reason i liked
00:43:38.200
tucker was it wasn't so much that you flip people's votes it's that you create a vibe a narrative around
00:43:45.360
the campaign it would make it oh you have trump and you have tucker they're both transgressive they
00:43:50.460
both drive people you don't like absolutely insane they both are really you know they're credibly
00:43:56.180
promising to do big changes and people can kind of trust them to execute on that and you give a whole
00:44:02.060
energy to the campaign and that can drive your rallies that drives the news coverage and it
00:44:06.780
increases your turnout and it sort of subtly affects how people view the whole campaign and that i can
00:44:13.040
see having a positive outcome but all this stuff that's just you know you're going down a checklist
00:44:18.880
and like okay well this candidate is not white but this candidate is a woman this candidate's both
00:44:25.040
but they're not really from you know a swing state it's like a committee you're just grabbing
00:44:30.800
biographical facts about them and trying to get the ideal veep i don't think you get many votes that
00:44:36.060
way and i dislike that that's what a lot of the candidates feel like to me like like at least
00:44:41.080
stefanic at least stefanic they like her because she's a woman i think and has said nice things about
00:44:47.460
a couple things at least is young she's a mother she's in leadership of the house conference so that
00:44:52.440
goes some way she has a legit scalp that has moved donors to really like her when she went after the
00:44:58.980
ivy league schools and she has leaned in and capitalized on that i was just in palm beach
00:45:04.120
and to elisa's credit she's a smart cookie tyler she gave a speech in front of donors and activists
00:45:10.480
she mentioned turning point three or four times wow we had one staffer there she you know she's a
00:45:15.180
smart she gets it she knows what she's she was like i can't say you know she we had josh there
00:45:19.040
and she was she was all we didn't ask her to i this makes me uncomfortable elisa stefanic was not a
00:45:25.480
conservative member of the house and then she latched really hard onto trump she is an ambitious
00:45:31.120
woman she wants to rise as high as she can there's nothing wrong with ambition there is a lot that's
00:45:35.880
wrong with ambition the bible does have much to say condemning pride and ambition is a type of pride
00:45:40.940
that depends you could be ambitious for good purposes but yes yes but what i would say stefan
00:45:46.620
this is just a read of mine stefanic doesn't give me a 100 trustworthy vibe unfortunately king david was
00:45:53.500
ambitious he started and king david sent off a woman's husband to get murdered not a great moment
00:46:00.240
she's never been hungry about coming to turning point events no that's true i'm just what i'm
00:46:04.700
saying is which is which is my ruling that's my ruler it's a data point and i've known elisa for a
00:46:09.880
while is i'm just saying that that particular venue she knew what she was doing by mentioning
00:46:14.900
turning point a couple times right and i was just saying i was in palm beach last week met with trump
00:46:19.720
the amount of people that were talking about elisa and donor circles was like a fever pitch
00:46:25.380
it was like the elisa phonic fan club and i was like you know great fine i i don't actually i don't
00:46:32.200
share that like anti-elisa sentiment but i'm open to it i will say on foreign policy we're on different
00:46:37.680
planets yeah she has relative relative to other veep picks i think it is important that a major
00:46:45.260
consideration here be the person trump picks will be has frankly a measurable chance of becoming
00:46:52.420
president trump is old he could die or be incapacitated or go to prison just also he only
00:46:58.660
has one term so whoever his veep is is very much an automatic favorite to be the next nominee should
00:47:04.540
he win can i add something into this because we brought him up a few different times but truly
00:47:09.860
every poll from 2015 to today the most popular likable republican that exists in america is ben
00:47:18.460
carson i i'm a big ben carson believer i know there's a lot of naysayers not for any people say oh
00:47:24.040
chart you know we get these emails dei it's not about any of that he's qualified no no he's i don't
00:47:27.980
even care about that i i don't even care about qualifications skin color anything he's likable
00:47:32.500
yes he's like ben carson if the only thing that mattered was get you know to the end of november and
00:47:40.680
you are the president-elect i would love ben carson as a pick because all the reasons you say i think he
00:47:46.660
is likable i think he's ethical he's likable he's ethical he will there's like zero downside to him
00:47:53.200
uh gives you know kind of more of a stable aura to things it's sort of you know mike pence without all
00:48:00.100
the things that have discredited mike pence but i guess i have to imagine if ben carson is president
00:48:06.880
would he be able to execute on the agenda we want a u.s president to execute and he just i think he's
00:48:12.920
a good guy i think he'd be great if he were a president in one of those countries where the
00:48:16.160
president is a much more of a ceremonial low activity leader but i guess this is gonna sound
00:48:23.400
weird ben carson seems lower energy to me it's hard for me to imagine him just like ruthlessly making
00:48:28.500
sure that a mega agenda is carried this is the number one thing that people say is that he's
00:48:33.240
low energy that he's he's not sleepy he's sleepy he's timid he's he's uh but i actually think that
00:48:41.940
that's the balance you need in a trump run because again we have to we have to get across the finish
00:48:48.320
line here and ben carson next to really anyone the democrats could potentially put up for vp
00:48:56.140
is going to make the republican party look good no matter no matter what i can't think of a single
00:49:01.640
person that that would be able to hurt us with a ben carson and again this is just like you then
00:49:09.560
you can utilize ben carson surrogate wise as a legitimate him him not being vp can you imagine
00:49:15.620
him debating kamala harris okay but let's let's go to one number that i think is important donald trump
00:49:21.400
he won the presidency in 16 won 81 of evangelical voters in 2020 it was 77 percent do you think ben
00:49:28.000
carson could get us back to 81 or above yes or no i i don't see him as super important in that
00:49:34.760
you know the grassroots i say yes jack you know i know that you have some reservations of ben carson
00:49:39.680
but do you hear me out evangelical winning over evangelical voters in wisconsin georgia
00:49:43.680
do you think we would get above project 81 above 81 right with evangelical voters because we had a
00:49:51.540
four-point dip in 2020 um well well so here's here's one of the issues maybe but here's one of the other
00:49:59.200
issues there that could that could really come back around is does ben carson make abortion and and now
00:50:08.380
lately ivf uh more central to the campaign while president trump has has as we've saw from last
00:50:15.220
week you know i think during our show he had a uh not a tweet but a truth up about ivf uh at a time
00:50:21.840
where he's trying to not make those central i think ben carson would would have the same effect of
00:50:27.320
turning out the left by making those issues central which the democrats want okay fair enough i do think
00:50:33.420
though that he can neutralize some of the and it's kind of bubbling up if you were a left-wing
00:50:40.000
op you would want all of a sudden the right to be talking about covet again like some of the kind of
00:50:43.420
covet skepticism that people have towards trump ben carson was great on those sort of issues do we have
00:50:49.640
to worry that they'll you know did we did we speak about i was looking at did we speak about the the
00:50:55.220
pyramids thing i think it's hilarious i think it's funny but do we worry he could get like they'll just
00:50:59.840
try to smear him as a nationalist well not even christian national let's try to say he's dumb
00:51:03.160
because what he said about the pyramid definitely they were built to store grain they they just were
00:51:07.780
not built to do that hold on though they do give you a free granary in the civilization game is it
00:51:12.060
true that there were no hieroglyphics found in any of the pyramids i feel like i heard that somewhere
00:51:15.860
hold on he said he said that the pure and i don't hold to this view he said they were built by
00:51:19.700
joseph to store grain so did i say david sorry yeah just just just be clear and i mean look ben
00:51:25.680
carson is objectively a genius you could be a genius and believe in a couple things that might
00:51:30.300
be unsubstantiated i mean you don't separate conjoined twins and then you call him like oh
00:51:36.740
he's a moron can i also say something literal brain about ben carson ben carson is the only one out of
00:51:43.260
this group that we can confidently say will will not likely run for president in 2028 so that's the
00:51:50.780
question is do we want jack i'll throw this to you yeah we want an heir apparent or do we want
00:51:56.000
kind of a bridge placeholder do we want someone that is going to try to be a george hw bush or do
00:52:02.200
we want someone that's like i'm serving one term as vp this is great so yeah this has been my vote
00:52:08.460
from the start all going all the back to 2022 on this question it's something that's a name that
00:52:14.580
nobody has mentioned yet and and it's more of a credibility kind of thing where trump is really
00:52:20.560
making this and abc actually had this as a headline at one point that trump's value proposition for it
00:52:24.700
going into 2024 is uh i will be your weapon against the federal government and uh you know of course
00:52:32.040
every time i post that it gets you know a ton of retweets people love it and i've actually said you
00:52:37.580
know why don't you get a guy who wants to go after the federal government in a way that we've never
00:52:42.840
seen before and isn't concerned at all with running for president again and pick a guy who can actually
00:52:50.220
go to work during the administration not just someone who can you know sort of be a placeholder
00:52:55.720
or someone who fits the you know the checklist like blake was talking about or someone who uh is
00:53:01.820
just trying to just trying to spend all this time being the heir apparent i say pick somebody like a
00:53:06.500
rand paul i say rand paul is sitting right there there's no one with more credibility against foreign
00:53:11.520
wars there's no one with more credibility against uh the federal government uh you turn them loose
00:53:16.400
on the nih turn loose on the intel community you turn them loose on uh the the 702 and the
00:53:22.860
warrantless wiretapping the system uh there there's your guy right there and imagine what kind of
00:53:28.120
administration you would have with that sort of energy being involved yeah and i think that in a
00:53:33.200
multi-candidate race i think we have to be careful not to try to make the vp the 2028 era parent
00:53:40.780
right tyler i think that regardless what happens we need a very robust 2028 primary that doesn't
00:53:48.080
have like the incumbency of the vp like that's way too consequential so from trump's calculus but
00:53:54.140
you'll have that either way yeah but not if you have like kind of the i don't think ben carson
00:54:00.740
is gonna maybe i'm wrong okay yeah right ben probably not right but if you have jd vance jd vance
00:54:06.820
would definitely look at that as like i am the heir to the maga throne right um whether that whether
00:54:12.880
that's trump's intent or not right and so these are all things that trump has to consider so tyler
00:54:19.920
what who would be the worst pick not the worst person they speak at our events i'm talking about
00:54:27.600
who could potentially do the most damage because we saw with mccain palin in 2008 that if you don't
00:54:34.720
pick person and i like sarah palin a lot it just wasn't a good pick you know i think the worst pick
00:54:39.220
he could make is joe biden that would be a bad choice i don't think you should pick joe biden to
00:54:46.100
be his view out of the ones being considered that are on like the longer short list you know obviously
00:54:52.040
the conversation is is like don't pick nikki haley right so like nikki haley would ultimately result
00:54:58.440
in this becoming a massive problem for the party in 2028 especially if she's if she's smart which
00:55:04.120
she hasn't proven she is to act maga for four years which she probably couldn't contain herself
00:55:10.740
to do uh but outside of that i think that's part of the reason why a lot of people have issues with
00:55:15.960
at least stefanik is they just don't trust her anyone in leadership you inherently yeah all of
00:55:21.220
those people are there so it's like you want kind of a new face which is the part of the reason why i
00:55:25.680
think colt tulsi is being considered part of the reason i mean and i'll remind people too christy
00:55:30.040
know him was one of the worst voters in congress as a republican yeah she was her score and i'll
00:55:35.060
just say this from my my point this is i'm not gonna say this for charlie or speaking on behalf
00:55:39.080
of the organization and i get along with christy i've known her for a while yeah yeah she's been
00:55:41.480
she was she's been a really good governor uh i don't know if i put her in the great category but
00:55:46.660
good trans thing was no good yeah a good governor she was one of the worst congressmen that we had
00:55:52.140
and even on covid which is the main reason she rose so quickly it's just that the south
00:55:58.100
dakota legislature didn't pass anything well it's also that the state is socially distanced by default
00:56:02.220
yeah yeah exactly you know i left and half the population was gone the only one was left who
00:56:06.160
takes 45 minutes to find your neighbor yeah on jd vance i like vance you like vance we all of us
00:56:13.500
here love vance and he's great to us sounds like trump is is vance a great politician because
00:56:21.640
all i'll say is he's a great person i'm sure he is i don't know i and you know i have friends of
00:56:27.740
mine who worked with him they all have to say positive things great but he ran in ohio and he
00:56:33.760
didn't like crush the ohio primary it was a pretty tough primary i can't remember who he was that guy
00:56:38.940
he was running against but it was a tough primary he needed you know some help with trump to to get over
00:56:45.100
the hump and so do we think that he will add a lot to the ticket veep wise i think that j i mean
00:56:51.940
look every single one of these people adds something i think jd is far smoother with the
00:56:57.400
media than we give him credit for jd is a true believer he is the closest that he that if there
00:57:02.740
was someone like who's who's more in the mold of what turning point believes jd is as close as we get
00:57:08.100
in like american government i mean seriously yeah um he he showed us some real bona fides in munich
00:57:15.720
germany at that conference while being contrarian and being very agreeable in the way he did it
00:57:22.760
right he also he's incredibly polished he has a high iq he went to yale which you know we don't
00:57:28.720
necessarily like but he he but i'm saying though that he has a law degree from yale served in the
00:57:34.080
military checks a lot of those boxes serves in the heartland but i will go back to the age
00:57:38.820
you have cammy joe biden trump and you have just a younger face i do think that if there was
00:57:45.900
a pick i would think less in terms of oh black voter or female and more in terms of younger and older
00:57:52.720
contrast that's actually i think that actually strikes more of a age is good what i like is like
00:57:59.520
i said with tucker narrative who is strengthening the themes that make a person want to vote jd a lot
00:58:07.460
the media does that they do and i can just see and you know you can see it pushing their buttons
00:58:12.540
where they'll just like they won't be able to help themselves and they'll come out and they'll say
00:58:15.320
two white men on a ticket what is this a year where america was still a great country
00:58:21.780
well and don't forget that jd vans also is somebody who has a ton of name id because of the book
00:58:31.420
because of the netflix movie and the fact that i believe uh which i know we're going to be talking
00:58:38.340
about in a minute he represents the white role rage well and think about this too and here's the
00:58:44.060
other point that's really important so like let's look let's look at the legit so charlie asked the
00:58:47.720
question who's okay basically right in my book who's okay is ben carson jd vance byron donalds
00:58:57.100
and throw vivek in there but i don't think vivek has a real shot so but let's throw vivek in there
00:59:03.320
my here's the reason why i agree with a lot of people that the slow thing to not not pugnacious
00:59:09.880
enough thing on the front with ben carson just slightly under that so if you got to break it down
00:59:15.380
i think byron is a better pick than tim scott because tim scott gives you what charlie said
00:59:20.500
is like you've got chamber of commerce influence at least a phonic ish tight mold right so you have
00:59:25.820
elise you have tim you have you know really bad former congresswoman christy noem decent governor
00:59:31.760
christy noem that really doesn't add anything to you but so it comes down to me it's like okay
00:59:35.900
jd and byron both similar ages uh that's right young they're about byron about my age they're a
00:59:43.480
little older i think the thing with byron is you would need let let tyler well let me just say
00:59:48.560
this on byron so then the question then becomes which which is less tricky out of the two which
00:59:54.540
like what what gives you more i like just from a marketing standpoint trump vance says a lot like
01:00:00.300
trump pence it's real easy but here's more important or the donalds the you have the diamond
01:00:04.980
charlie said you have the donalds so you have trump you have trump vance like replacing trump pence
01:00:09.520
and then you have the donalds so donald trump and byron donalds no you know you do with that by
01:00:14.180
the way you do you do you do jack i was just gonna say here's the here's the difference because i'm
01:00:17.960
taking forever to get to this jd speaks midwest we have to win wisconsin amen we have to win
01:00:25.420
michigan he's right over the border he's the only he makes the most sense that is why i do bring up
01:00:31.900
the politician question is because vance did win i i agree he is totally turning point i agree
01:00:37.200
rather convincingly won by eight points he won well he won by eight points i guess a good
01:00:41.860
candidate in the context good candidate he came out of nowhere it was an open seat with a retiring
01:00:46.800
republican in a year where we didn't get the red wave but hold on tim ryan's a good candidate though
01:00:52.120
he had a lot of money he's the rust belt name i'd be that wasn't a two or three point race i think
01:00:56.140
it might be six or eight points well i guess what i mean is he underperformed trump but still i mean
01:01:00.800
so let me check what how ohio did jd was hated by like 11 and 20 that's what
01:01:07.160
i mean so trump won ohio of course also by eight in 2020 can i can i 2022 was more in our favor
01:01:13.300
overall because you know we won the house and yet so if vance won by eight he underperformed trump
01:01:18.620
in ohio against a very good candidate who was an incumbent congressman who had a district to run
01:01:23.200
and he raised a lot of money a massive he was like the most popular democrat ryan was like he was running
01:01:28.340
for senate ryan ran well for sure i guess i'm just saying if we're looking at this as he has special
01:01:33.840
political appeal i'm not sure that vance has proven he's really dominant to but as a contrast
01:01:40.940
is that what you want we've mentioned right ron ron johnson several times what ron johnson has done
01:01:46.080
in wisconsin is a lot more impressive than what vance did in ohio ron johnson is not in the running
01:01:51.880
for a couple reasons number one they don't think the way we do about wisconsin number two you lose a
01:01:56.260
senate seat like you just you lose a senate seat and we learned the lesson from alabama
01:02:01.300
with that you don't do that like that's a bad idea don't make your vp or a cabinet secretary where
01:02:07.640
you lose a senate seat i love the johnson idea i would be open to it i just think jd is a better
01:02:13.340
pick because again you ron can help you i think you i think you you make ron the ultimate surrogate
01:02:21.060
in wisconsin and you just you have to make him chairman of the trump campaign for wisconsin total
01:02:26.100
you have to make him chairman of the trump campaign for you know co-chair or just yeah i mean
01:02:29.940
literally ron johnson's that important so the but so byron donald's you had a concern is it that
01:02:35.120
they're both in the same state blake so they're both from florida so i mentioned that to president
01:02:38.820
trump i was like you know he's gonna have to get a condo in houston he's like that's a good point
01:02:42.900
and so how would that work with his congressional seat would he have to give up his congressional
01:02:46.340
seat because you have to be a resident of the state you of you represent you don't have to be in
01:02:51.240
the district you have to be in the state yes so then if you were to get a condo would have to move
01:02:55.480
or you'd have to resign and trump will not move that's exactly what i mean it's just it's not in
01:02:59.400
trump's character too even though he has all these properties yeah so so then byron would move to
01:03:04.760
houston or or like to georgia and lose his congressional seat he would have to i believe
01:03:09.220
he would have to resign further shrinking our house minority majority and him losing a very popular
01:03:13.980
collier county deep red seat i think trump would just take residency in new jersey no i don't at all
01:03:19.180
i suppose i think trump is he's enjoying paying zero percent tax and like he's got all of his
01:03:23.540
businesses in florida i don't think that's going to happen at all oh with the oh the truth the
01:03:28.320
truth money the truth deal he wants to pay 11 he wants to pay 11 new jersey income tax with the
01:03:34.320
social the truth money keeps him in florida truth is about the d-spac and is supposed to like the is
01:03:40.060
gonna go he's gonna like make four billion dollars he wants to have zero percent income tax now maybe
01:03:44.780
trump goes to vegas for his trump hotel there it takes up residency in nevada i will admit this annoys me
01:03:50.960
this annoys me a little bit zero percent income tax it annoys me a little bit that trump the trump
01:03:56.600
hotel trump could easily move he could still sit in mar-a-lago as much as he wants it would be easy
01:04:03.520
for him to do it given the range and the fact that he's not representing anywhere but it's just not in
01:04:08.180
his character to do that pain in the butt thing trump will not move florida at florida he just won't
01:04:12.980
move out of florida so therefore he didn't live in florida when he ran last time byron would have to
01:04:18.740
forsake his house seat which would then further shrink our house majority it's a bad idea yeah i
01:04:24.000
don't love that specifically he would have to give it up i believe while running because he'd have to
01:04:29.800
i don't think we touched on this so that's well that's an interesting question like ron johnson at
01:04:33.580
least he doesn't have to quit wait for the chat just so everybody is no no i think it's while he's
01:04:37.940
running but you can't be president and vice president coming from the same state yes that means that he has
01:04:43.080
to get all this sorted out before the electoral college i'm saying ron johnson wouldn't ron johnson
01:04:47.160
would have to like buy a condo in texas exactly and so everyone knows it's the 12th amendment
01:04:54.680
right to the constitution if i'm not mistaken yeah but i mean but they're not worried about that because
01:04:59.580
they can replace byron with anybody because of desantis yeah but well first of all it's not an
01:05:05.540
appointment right it's a special election usually uh it's a governor appoints senate seats oh i guess
01:05:10.360
it would be because it would be 12th amendment yes well it might be too close to the election so it
01:05:14.000
would be oh no i guess they would have to do a special election that's yeah they have to do
01:05:18.440
but it would be a mess it would create a mess and by the way our house majority is like yeah well so
01:05:22.280
the funny thing is by the way so the exact specifics are it's not that you can't have a president and
01:05:28.720
vice president from the same state it's that electors cannot cast their president and vice president
01:05:34.640
florida electoral votes would be exactly so in theory that's really a bad idea in a landslide but
01:05:40.080
let's like not even get near this like we finally turned florida into a deep red state and we're
01:05:46.920
finding a way to like royally put this into jeopardy that's a bad idea now i guess what you could do is
01:05:53.240
in theory you could really stretch the limits of this you could run if you get the landslide it
01:05:57.960
doesn't matter and then if it is close enough after the election but before the electoral college
01:06:03.900
meets you quickly have byron donald no they would sue and they would say that the electors were
01:06:10.620
actually elected under the pretenses that they were in the same state oh wow right and we're getting
01:06:16.240
in layers like lord's tribe would file that lawsuit oh yeah we don't we don't want to mess around let's
01:06:20.380
not give them any any rope here are you saying that they wouldn't no they wouldn't certify they would
01:06:26.000
not certify the democrats would not live up to the rules they play for us ever so in closing here
01:06:31.080
we've gotten almost nowhere on the veep stakes so jack all that being said who do you like
01:06:35.120
rand paul okay that's not gonna happen who who do you say so rand paul it's not gonna happen i i think
01:06:42.720
it's interesting but that's he's not in the rank by the way trump and rand paul are like kind of like
01:06:47.200
arguing right now okay let's let's pick each let's pick one of the top seven we'll repeat the top
01:06:54.400
seven and we'll each pick one from that how about so the top seven that we have are uh gnome
01:07:02.440
donald's gabbard tim scott vivek desantis uh is that so did i miss one there so if i were to say my
01:07:10.800
who i think trump just kind of based on everything i think that elise byron and tim scott and jd seem to
01:07:18.640
have the most chatter in trump world okay tim scott would be such a mistake so tell us why
01:07:25.320
look i we call him all the time the chamber of consultants tim scott you saw how much gravitas
01:07:33.200
he had in the in the run for president nobody likes him he basically is just like i look at tim scott i
01:07:40.320
just see him just as like a smiling guy just like standing by but he is literally a puppet of the chamber
01:07:46.700
of commerce he is so tight like that well we don't like that because the u.s chamber of commerce is
01:07:51.300
going to have this is the if you want to set up like an h.w bush situation again and by no means do
01:07:57.520
i think tim scott is nearly the political animal that h.w bush was that's part of the reason close
01:08:02.180
that's part of the reason why you wouldn't assume control of the cia but it's more it's yeah right
01:08:07.240
he just would the former chair of the rnc turn you know cia head so i mean he's not that guy but he is
01:08:14.340
a puppet for the types of people who are like h.w bush and that's bad enough and so you just got
01:08:19.780
to say no to that and and and personally that's why i kind of have questions about christy noem that
01:08:26.120
personally that's why i have questions about at least devonick personally that's why i have
01:08:29.220
questions about some many of these other picks so when it comes down to it that's why byron is
01:08:33.520
probably a little bit arm's length from all that stuff jd for sure is he's his own man we've known
01:08:39.440
him he's he's his own guy and uh and yeah that's where we're at i just feel for the reasons people
01:08:44.840
want to pick tim scott you should just pick either donalds or carson instead okay you mean for we want
01:08:54.200
a black i think i mean i think i don't think we should kid ourselves that is a major reason all
01:08:58.440
three of those guys are being considered and of those three i think tim scott has the most strikes
01:09:03.980
against him obviously the biggest strike is south carolina can't be trusted there's something wrong with it
01:09:09.020
i'm sorry to any listeners in south carolina it does something's off it does have a bad track
01:09:14.640
record in modern politics it doesn't have or in you know older politics it didn't have the best track
01:09:18.980
record john c calhoun uh secession yeah i mean and the off the authorship of of the defense of slavery
01:09:26.040
let's i actually think there's another name that's that's tell us yeah let's go to wild off the wall
01:09:31.080
name we all have to not the jack kind of already did this around paul give us an off the wall name
01:09:35.260
so there's a congressman in georgia who we really like a lot uh named mike collins who is like truck
01:09:44.780
driver born and bred uh businessman he's he's like a perfect look he's hilarious he looks like he looks
01:09:52.580
like he came out of a movie he's literally the greatest guy and he comes to all of our events
01:09:57.980
he should he like he attends as like an attendee for our stuff like just loves everything have you if
01:10:04.200
you're not following mike collins you need to start following mike collins today he is like the he is
01:10:09.980
in my opinion the greatest congressman out of georgia he's a little bit low-key he posts a lot of funny
01:10:14.600
memes on twitter uh but he's smart he's a businessman he's a regular guy and he's from a state that we
01:10:20.100
have to win long term right so like this is when it comes down to the ron johnson conversation like
01:10:25.280
how about we put up again likable people who are normal that people connect with that would be
01:10:30.700
really fantastic ron johnson is really not like a normal guy he's you know a you know a very wealthy
01:10:36.840
dude that comes from a big background but he's super likable in wisconsin right that's great ben
01:10:42.160
carson super likable i think jb vance is actually really likable mike collins really likable blake an
01:10:48.140
unusual pick before we move on an unusual one you know the weird one that popped into my head that
01:10:54.860
would be a terrible idea so but you put me on the spot who clarence thomas we would lose a supreme
01:11:01.000
court seat well only if you win gosh no he's not he's not retire anyway if we win no no no no no
01:11:07.020
no we win we need clarence he doesn't need to quit until you win no we need we need clarence on the
01:11:12.520
court plus by the way we already went through the whole florida thing so i won't rehash that
01:11:15.940
but anna polina anna polina being uh vp pick would drive the left crazy too is she so the other the
01:11:22.900
ones that are in contention for sarah huckabee sanders uh the other one that is going to surprise
01:11:28.700
people if you really want to force the border issue and raise record money is greg abbott i'm not a big
01:11:35.620
abbott fan but you can get a lot of booze from the the texas right i would have i would lose votes in
01:11:43.220
texas i would do i would do greg abbott over tim scott oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah okay oh yeah all right
01:11:50.440
well then by the way um i i got so i got um asked uh by media a couple of times about coming out
01:11:59.220
you know forcefully against tim scott uh recently and you know not forcefully i guess i would just
01:12:05.200
say is is probably not the best word but just just openly against tim scott being on the pick
01:12:09.540
and i said look i'm just gonna say it tim scott's a neocon he's a nice guy uh he's he's a friendly
01:12:15.280
guy i think he's i think he's probably you're probably not a bad guy in any way but he's a
01:12:20.320
neocon um he's full-throated for endless wars all over the place on foreign policy he is indistinguishable
01:12:28.260
from nikki haley and i don't think he would be a good pick based on policy all right um let's move
01:12:34.680
on to do we have any ad copy i think we do it's about coffee oh boy jack do you want to take this
01:12:41.700
one 1775 coffee company uh i don't think i have that yes it's right there on a scale of one to ten
01:12:52.120
okay please let's not swear i don't know why they're swearing i can't this is not this is not good
01:12:57.580
it's thought crimes not foul mouth jack can't do that he's uh all right well on a scale of one to
01:13:02.880
ten how much do you hate a not so good coffee stand i think that if you have rules against swearing
01:13:08.440
it forces you to be more interesting on shows like this no i believe if you watch some of these
01:13:11.720
shows like every other word's a swear word and you just end up being not as interesting i have a
01:13:15.560
theory on that well you should use swear words like for no interest 100 but i'm also not morally
01:13:20.140
against swearing but when people overuse it it creates low iq content i for one really hate not
01:13:26.000
so good coffee which is why i'm so excited to introduce you guys to a company revolting against

01:14:44.040
the next uh let's go to the next topic the next topic is crucial to our discussion of the vice president
01:14:49.600
and everything else it is white rural rage we have to play the tape so we have to play the tape do we have it
01:14:57.440
ryan the tape because i think that this is being misunderstood a little bit the the way that on social media
01:15:03.280
they're saying oh my goodness msnc panelists called you know no they wrote a book about it that's what this is that
01:15:09.880
that's the key this is a published book where they have a these are professors this you know i don't know if
01:15:17.780
these guys have a romantic relationship or something but they're sitting awfully close to it's got the mansion romney thing
01:15:21.860
going and and even mika was a little taken back by this guy even mika was like all right that's a little
01:15:28.780
too hard play cut 120 white rural rage the threat to american democracy and tom we'll start with you
01:15:39.280
uh why are white rural voters a threat to democracy at this point i mean we lay out the fourfold
01:15:44.800
interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country first of all and we show 30 polls and
01:15:50.420
national studies to demonstrate this so we provide the receipts in chapter six they're the most racist
01:15:54.980
xenophobic anti-immigrant anti-gay geodemographic group in the country second they're the most
01:16:00.680
conspiracist group q anon support and subscribers election denialism covid denialism and scientific
01:16:06.480
skepticism obama birtherism third anti-democratic sentiments they don't believe in an independent
01:16:12.460
press free speech they're most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without
01:16:16.600
any checks from congress or the courts or their bureaucracy they're also the most strongly white
01:16:22.220
nationalist and white christian nationalists and fourth they are most likely to excuse or justify
01:16:27.040
violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse is that holy cow you haven't seen
01:16:34.120
that clip i hadn't seen the clip like that is oh my so so jack i have i have some please yes for me
01:16:40.860
riff please um well i don't know if you uh yeah i mean i'm sure guy everyone knows and the whole world
01:16:48.000
knows that uh msnbc has been going after me for basically a week straight um saying that that i'm going
01:16:59.540
to end democracy that i'm the uh the illegal despot and you know all this crazy stuff out of the world
01:17:08.420
and then msnbc including mika by the way and she goes and this isn't because you have to put this in
01:17:15.300
context too these these people mika and rachel maddow and joy reid and all of them and remember i have to
01:17:21.160
be nice so i have to be nice because it's lent um that they spent all day yesterday freaking out
01:17:27.580
that trump is going to be allowed on the ballot by the supreme court and saying it's the end of
01:17:32.500
democracy that people are allowed to vote and then here are two guys who are very very upset
01:17:39.220
that american citizens are going to vote in an election but at the same time they're screaming at
01:17:47.180
like make it make sense somebody please just make it make sense no i mean i i joked in the chat here
01:17:52.320
i said do they want pinal county to vote 90 trump i mean which is oh man there are places already
01:17:57.080
i wonder if we can get like sheridan county where my grandparents live to get to 95 percent now
01:18:01.440
can we get copies of this book and like put it's funny jack i actually ordered it today you're gonna
01:18:07.200
make me read this book all right 100 and you're gonna do a book summary on it oh boy um i'm not
01:18:11.300
gonna read that crap i'm gonna just i'm just gonna show it up on tv to get people fired up
01:18:14.780
so but white rural rage is the title they say white rural voters are the most racist most conspiracy
01:18:22.440
against immigrants like yeah they should be against illegal foreigners come to their country
01:18:26.800
let's really dig into this because i'm actually really angry now first of all most conspiracists
01:18:30.880
like okay first of all what are they even defining as a conspiracy because i think all of these people
01:18:36.020
believe in the biggest conspiracy theory in america which is systemic racism where racism is like the
01:18:40.960
force it's a miasma that like is the reason that all the schools in baltimore are bad because all of
01:18:45.780
the teachers there are secretly klansmen at night like they all believe that crap they believe all of the
01:18:50.880
police departments that are blacker than any other institution in the united states like oh the nypd is
01:18:55.120
you know 30 black or whatever but they're all systematically racist the detroit police department
01:18:59.380
they're all racist they all believe that crap that's a conspiracy theory but oh it doesn't count
01:19:03.660
oh they're against the freedom of the press yeah you guys are against the freedom of the press you guys
01:19:08.080
flip out anytime the press doesn't all believe the exact same things oh they're against immigration
01:19:14.200
so what if a majority of people want less immigration which polling shows they do
01:19:20.520
that is in fact the democratic position small d democracy the people want to vote for less
01:19:27.620
immigration you're the one saying they can't who's against democracy well to be fair jack is a play cut
01:19:33.860
130 so now my dear friends i will reveal my plan of attack to you we will begin with ending paper
01:19:43.820
ballots and ending election day we will remove all voter id and all citizenship requirements for
01:19:52.500
voting we will replace in-person voting with low integrity mail-in options and drop boxes we're going
01:19:59.280
to arrest the opposition leader four times we'll flood the nation with millions of invaders who vote
01:20:06.540
the way we want release violent criminals into the cities disarm the populace remove religion from the
01:20:13.420
public square i'm going to do it all and you can't stop me folks this is their democracy this is the
01:20:22.980
regime that we will overturn so now my dear friends i will reveal my plan of attack okay jack
01:20:30.000
well you you think they uh that was a good that's good but they buried the lead because
01:20:35.240
the phrase that i used that triggered all of them was that i said i'm going to end democracy i'm going
01:20:43.100
to overthrow democracy and and i said and it's funny because i'm like laughing in the clip and i go and
01:20:49.640
that's right you know we didn't we didn't quite get all the way there on jan 6 folks we still got a
01:20:53.460
little bit of democracy left so we gotta we gotta stamp it out in the next election with which you know
01:20:58.960
you'd you'd think that people would get the irony of that statement that we're we're voting to end
01:21:03.280
democracy but but no you know the left just just just isn't like with that and then so what i go
01:21:08.220
on to do is um is list all of the things that are currently being remember again we have a guy who's
01:21:16.140
running for president right now who's who's leading in i think the majority of all the polls and
01:21:20.680
certainly in all the swing states um so the guy who's currently lead in the lead for the president
01:21:25.760
of the united states that the entire media is championing to be stricken from the very ballot
01:21:31.700
itself and we're basically being told now i guess based on this book that we're talking about that
01:21:37.380
people shouldn't even be allowed to vote if you're if you're white if you're rural you know is there
01:21:44.280
going to be a test i don't know blake maybe you could design some kind of test to determine whether
01:21:48.480
or not someone is a rural light and if they would be allowed to vote or not uh based on their rural
01:21:54.900
nicety no the the funny part is they want to run elections like putin runs elections they have all
01:22:00.500
this uh they have all this animosity against putin no it's envy really as envy for yeah envy it's like
01:22:08.520
but we only want moscow to vote okay and we don't want any opponents isn't that is that the whole
01:22:17.920
argument they have has an election coming up yeah just all of this is the biggest projection in the
01:22:22.640
universe the atlantic just ran an article the other day by uh russell berman whoever that is
01:22:27.780
uh i have it on my screen if you guys want to bring it up how democrats could disqualify trump
01:22:32.600
if the supreme court doesn't without clear guidance from the court house democrats suggests they might
01:22:38.720
not certify a trump win on january 6th so we already have them laying the groundwork okay well first of
01:22:45.540
all we try to have courts take trump off the ballot then we're going to go to the supreme court have
01:22:49.140
them try to keep trump off the ballot if the supreme court doesn't keep trump off the ballot we can have
01:22:54.380
congress go and not let him win and in fact even three years ago we had another article in the
01:23:01.160
atlantic saying it might be kamala harris's job to stop the steal in 2024 where they were literally
01:23:07.180
just laying the groundwork to say kamala harris should do what some people wanted mike pence to do
01:23:11.340
on january 6th it's all the biggest projection in the universe they want to literally take the
01:23:18.260
opposition candidate off the ballot and they're holding they're throwing this temper tantrum what
01:23:22.800
else did they say in that video they said in the video oh they're the people who believe the most
01:23:26.520
it was something like like violent political action or whatever yeah in 2020 i don't think anyone
01:23:32.440
burned down you know a drugstore in mccluskey north dakota a lot of people burned down their drugstore
01:23:37.880
in milwaukee in minneapolis in st louis they tried to do it in atlanta and actually the police
01:23:43.600
stopped them good for them but they did these people all do they view riots as a way of achieving
01:23:50.980
political change they're the ones who go out and say well mlk told us that riot is the language of
01:23:55.900
the unheard they're the ones who said oh all of the lockdowns are canceled for as long as we need to
01:24:00.660
have giant marches against racial justice they're the ones who organize lawsuits against cities to get
01:24:05.500
multi-million dollar payouts to rioters after all this stuff happened these people are just full of
01:24:11.000
crap and uh why are they doing it blake because a book like this it actually every time now i go do
01:24:19.020
a lincoln reagan day dinner in rural america i'm gonna bring up this book and be like they hate you
01:24:23.720
i mean this is a way where we get to 90 95 and by the way i'm not kidding right tyler if we get to like
01:24:29.460
90 in mojave county or if we get to like you know i don't know 88 in some of these rules you can you
01:24:39.040
could start to forgive some of the losses and some of the excerpts am i right well and that's
01:24:43.140
like in wickenburg for example if there's actually a story to be told about america if you look and
01:24:48.180
this is the most interesting thing that nobody's talking about is how a lot of these rural places
01:24:52.240
in america have gone from moderately blue to deep deep red deep red deep red and this is including
01:24:58.780
iowa this is part of the story of iowa and the outskirts of iowa this is parts of georgia that
01:25:03.440
we're talking about is there is animosity that's it's brewing there and don't forget you in covid
01:25:09.460
had the one negative impact that happened during covid was you had a lot of semi-liberals move out
01:25:15.380
to the rurals and those rural areas didn't get more blue a lot of these places became more red
01:25:22.220
and so i mean that's that's something that's very scary for them because they're kind of
01:25:26.920
setting the table for themselves i mean take so big time take yavapai county for example which is
01:25:31.920
growing it's grown since 2001 significantly prescott prescott valley if they if we do two
01:25:37.780
points better in yavapai what does that mean oh yeah and that's that's 20 000 30 000 votes but
01:25:42.700
that's the reason why they want to suppress the vote right with a lot of these writing books like
01:25:46.700
wait wait wait guys guys guys so so super super in the weeds you know yavapai penal etc charlie for
01:25:56.160
the people that are kind of like you know on the other side of the country that have no idea what
01:26:00.740
those places are these rural counties the exurb suburbs what exactly 30 000 foot view are you
01:26:06.680
talking about is so important if we drive out these low propensity voters yeah and tyler knows it even
01:26:12.080
better than i do i mean as it goes if you win maricopa by one vote you win the entire state and
01:26:16.080
that's our goal at turning point action however you look at some of these areas in arizona prescott i
01:26:22.300
think is the second or third largest city in the state right tyler i mean it's and prescott is in
01:26:26.600
yavapai county no it's it's not nearly that big but the fastest rate of growth oh for fastest not
01:26:32.500
population yeah it's it's up there i mean a lot of these rural places i mean this is the same as
01:26:37.440
happening in idaho it's happening in utah if we can run up the score in these areas overall well
01:26:43.100
that's why it's important for us to prepare the table to make sure that we maintain these places
01:26:48.360
so that i mean look the way that they're they want to manipulate the vote a lot of these places they
01:26:53.480
want to build cities up high and be able to control people close together so even some of these places
01:26:59.460
that are uh that are growing we want to make sure people have access to land that they can move out
01:27:05.500
they can have their own stuff uh that's the way that you keep these things but when people learn
01:27:11.540
the american dream what is the american dream i always talk with people about this kids property
01:27:15.780
it's property yeah it's pro at the end of the day it's property it's owning stuff when you take that
01:27:21.780
away from people you're in despotism and and that is when people unlock that they become more
01:27:27.920
conservative organically naturally so just just so we know prescott has grown by seven percent since
01:27:33.640
2020 that's big i i actually do want to push back here overall rural america is shrinking a lot of
01:27:39.620
this rage a lot of this hatred is hatred of like this remnant group in america the rump
01:27:46.140
traditional american population because if you went back to 1950 or 1920 or whatever the vast majority of
01:27:54.880
americans would resemble these rage-filled white rural people that would have been the vast majority of
01:28:00.740
the voters and frankly america was a pretty successful and great country then and these
01:28:05.840
people have rebelled against this in a large way there are a few cities like prescott that are growing
01:28:12.020
but if you look at a map like sedona and you know flagstaff that are more resort there's a few and
01:28:17.180
arizona is a growing state generally so it's just but the cup overflowing the people they're
01:28:21.220
attacking ohio for example ohio wisconsin yeah you southeast ohio is not seeing a seven percent
01:28:27.800
population growth like press they might be seeing a 10 population decline correct and these are the
01:28:32.720
people they're really singling out for hatred and what frankly it's said but probably not said enough
01:28:40.740
is it really the way they despise they being the left-wing regime elites whatever the way they
01:28:50.760
despise rural white people it is it functions at least in the same way you imagine other types of
01:29:00.180
like racism functioning even if it's white against white where they actually do just they hate them
01:29:05.520
they hate the group they hate the group they hate them in very in ways you could not get away with
01:29:10.760
against other groups any group like the way you can just casually make a joke about people in
01:29:16.340
like alabama they they have sex with their cousins and they're all inbred you'll you can casually make
01:29:22.740
that joke in all sorts of places and you can't for example you can't casually make that joke about
01:29:27.960
people from somalia or pakistan where it's actually a problem that they marry their cousins a lot
01:29:32.520
correct and you can and potentially do it while in congress yeah and you know you can you can do
01:29:37.800
caricatures of them the way you can't do caricatures of other people like it's almost like they are an
01:29:43.380
outlet that the left is allowed to take their it's the only regime accepted punching bag exactly
01:29:51.060
they are only one and especially aim that you can have a mean-spirited punching bag it's also just
01:29:56.760
how sinister this is these people have like very little money like they're very decent i mean
01:30:02.500
you know what i mean if like there was a group to hate like you hate earl who lives in like
01:30:08.440
billings montana and hunts and fishes and like has two kids and is a welder and earns 65 000 a year
01:30:15.340
yeah it's it's actually that's who we hate we hate the guy that goes to church and like drives a
01:30:20.620
pickup truck and this is like mildly overweight like we hate him but this is even more wild than this
01:30:25.560
like i want to get no i know jack but i mean i want to get being facetious this is an article
01:30:30.500
there's an article that came out in 2021 that really illustrates how deranged this is there's
01:30:37.380
it was in the la times in 2021 it was by a woman named virginia hefferman and let's look her up it's
01:30:45.140
like the the article opens this way oh heck no the trump bites next door to our pandemic getaway
01:30:51.460
who seem as devoted to the ex-president as you can get without being q fans just plowed our driveway
01:30:58.560
without being asked and did a great job so this woman flees the a city being run under the you know
01:31:06.740
the policy she wants of you can't you know go outside or do anything so she flees from her own
01:31:12.420
policies to go to mega country because she actually likes living there more and then this is entire this
01:31:18.900
like long article complaining about the horribleness of people who literally went out of their way to
01:31:24.480
help her for free by just plowing her driveway because people do that in nice parts of america
01:31:29.440
and she's frightening well but they voted for the wrong person they're bad people
01:31:32.920
and this happens all the time you run into you can find all these bizarre think pieces what should i do
01:31:39.680
about all of like my trump neighbors or my trump family members my parents who raised me and you know
01:31:46.000
and clothed me and fed me and cared for me and maybe paid for my college should i break off contact
01:31:50.700
with them because they voted for trump they would say yes yeah they'd run into this all the time every
01:31:54.960
single year we have to get guidebooks about how to you know lecture your family at thanksgiving
01:31:59.260
correct it's no and i i said this before blake and is it an exaggeration where they if they could
01:32:06.040
they would drone white rural america oh absolutely he said in that clip that they're a threat to the
01:32:11.780
country he's talking to us like we're al-qaeda when the those uh the bundy ranch people took over the uh
01:32:18.120
the i can't remember the name that place in nevada i believe it was you can find people on twitter
01:32:23.960
saying like why don't they drone them drone them these people literally will do that sort of thing you
01:32:28.620
know the future there's this dark future where we have some like this kind of like emotional
01:32:35.200
woman at the fbi sobbing while she hits the button to fire the drone missile saying you made me do this
01:32:42.460
and then blowing up their house and yes seriously yeah i mean these are people who did waco and it's
01:32:46.920
not even that i like the guy who david korech i don't it's not that i like david koresh davidians
01:32:52.580
but think about the context of that where they wanted to arrest this guy and instead of just reno
01:32:56.620
and instead of just arresting him when he went to a walmart because he did leave all the time he went for
01:33:02.680
runs every morning they had to do this macho thing to assault it and then it didn't work out
01:33:07.300
and they're like oh well better besiege it better let the thing burn down what do you think spray it
01:33:11.700
with gunfire better kill all the children who are inside why do you think they need we need self-driving
01:33:17.460
cars it's they're gonna just drive us raft cliffs yeah like these people have these sick impulses this
01:33:24.300
is another line in the story you know uh where is it here uh this is kind of weird this is referring
01:33:30.640
to the plowing your driveway back in the the city people don't sweep others walkways for nothing
01:33:35.380
yeah this is one of my favorite cities aren't as good as rural america rural america is better than
01:33:42.020
you and you should think about what that means when they don't vote the way that you do but these these
01:33:48.360
people are wretched they are bad people no they really are they get to go on television instead of
01:33:54.760
having rocks thrown at them in public so blake there's actually this interesting like like flip
01:34:00.420
on so you know we talk about hick libs a lot and we talked about like oliver anthony and we talked
01:34:04.680
about this whole um you know genre of of i don't know like a new archetype that's arisen on you know
01:34:13.960
will stansell is kind of one of these guys a person who's from sort of a more rural area
01:34:18.240
uh or a midwestern area in his case and and yet has liberal tendencies even though they sort of have
01:34:24.460
like more more rural aesthetics i i think i've i've been trying to think of what the opposite to
01:34:29.240
that is because you see a lot of this on the new right that there's a lot of people who aren't
01:34:33.320
necessarily rural at all uh donald trump of course is probably as far from rural as you can get the guy
01:34:39.320
announced his presidential campaign uh literally on fifth avenue next to tiffany's in a giant skyscraper
01:34:45.480
bearing his name while you know wearing a suit that was worth several thousand dollars
01:34:48.840
um flying around in a helicopter in an airplane with his name on it so i was like i was like would
01:34:53.460
the would the flip side of that be like an urban con and so and if so are the urban cons like the
01:34:59.600
conservatives who grow up not able to stand all the liberals that they're surrounded by all the time
01:35:04.740
the same way that the hick lib hates all the rural conservatives that are around them it's a i don't
01:35:09.720
know it's interesting dynamic to get into at some point maybe for a later show let's get to the last
01:35:13.880
topic what is it the last topic is squatters actually yeah this is way more way more chill
01:35:20.140
i'll start with this one i was first made aware so squatting's a long this is not a new thing
01:35:25.540
is it we should before we talk about it we should have the news hook i suppose well we should have
01:35:29.540
the news hook so we were talking about this today there's a story in the new york post a queen's couple
01:35:34.760
bought a two million dollar home to care for their special needs their special needs sonia down
01:35:40.380
syndrome and they show up and they discover that a squatter is living in the building and new york
01:35:46.140
laws being what they are you can't evict the squatter because so explain what that what does
01:35:51.000
that mean that means someone literally is living in your house so you can't remove them exactly a lot
01:35:55.320
a surprising number of jurisdictions have laws where if a person has resided in a structure long
01:36:02.360
enough even if they're not paying anything even if they have no legal right to be there if they have
01:36:06.400
been there long enough they get tenant rights regardless of how they caught in right exactly
01:36:11.420
they could have broken in you will literally get cases where for example people move and then their
01:36:15.800
house is for sale or they leave for a few months and someone just breaks in and changes the locks
01:36:21.340
and maybe they don't find out because they are gone several months and they get back and the people
01:36:26.520
just say we have squatter rights here they'll call the police and the police will say sorry this is a
01:36:31.300
matter for the courts now we can't we can't remove this person so so in new york city um i don't have
01:36:37.420
the date when this went into went into existence but in new york city it's probably one of the most
01:36:42.440
radical in the entire country so in some places adverse possession this takes you know over like
01:36:46.720
for seven years of being you know on in a in a facility or in a location or like 10 years in some
01:36:53.820
states in new york city it's 30 days it's literally 30 if you can prove that you live somewhere
01:36:58.620
for 30 days then they can't evict you which is insane like you could be uh you know you could
01:37:04.600
be visiting family or some or like somewhere for 30 days you could be like away or some people do
01:37:09.680
the snowbird thing where they you know they'll be in uh in florida for the winter and then come back
01:37:14.640
after 30 days and now all of a sudden someone lives in your house it's insane it's pretty funny because
01:37:21.780
this is like a relic of really old law like anglo-saxon common law it's a relic of times
01:37:28.220
where land title isn't quite as well defined as it is or where you know like a war happens and people
01:37:35.040
flee and so you need some way where oh yeah stuff happened and these people ended up living here and
01:37:40.680
after 10 years it's their stuff now and we get these relics of this and now we're in a time where you
01:37:47.860
really don't need those standards anymore but we still have these laws and it's much worse in europe
01:37:53.960
this happens all the time in europe so where they'll have like romani people just move into
01:37:58.780
their house and correct and never get them out i first was gypsies they're called gypsies okay
01:38:02.880
we'll say gypsies okay go ahead guys gypsies i'll tell the story a different time i'm exhausted so
01:38:10.460
anyone else got something to say no no i tell the story okay we were just making sure to offend people
01:38:15.000
okay so i was first exposed to um squatters when i was like 10 years old and i was in highland park
01:38:22.140
illinois there was a very very nice house that a guy owned and he vacated it for like a year and he
01:38:28.900
went to sell it uh a homeless guy broke in and started living there and he didn't know it for the
01:38:35.000
first like 35 40 days and it took him literally years to get him out he just lived in the house
01:38:40.100
couldn't do anything about it yeah and so and so is his house and literally had to go to the court
01:38:45.520
and it got like delayed because squatters rights at that time we're like yeah if you live there long
01:38:50.600
enough it's your house that's so terrible yeah and so isn't that unbelievable it just total trespassing
01:38:56.120
i mean this is gonna this is gonna grow by the way with all the illegals and stuff they're gonna
01:38:59.660
start breaking into people's vacations homes and being like it's my house oh yeah and this is part
01:39:03.800
of you know what though like they can get those it's also it's it's covid and the housing just the
01:39:08.480
housing crisis that we're in right now so those people aren't able to afford properties or like
01:39:12.840
banks and blackrock and other things aren't going to be able to afford to maintain their properties
01:39:16.980
and then they can't rent them out so you're going to have all these properties that people speculated
01:39:21.280
on for rentals that are just going to sit open people are going to move right in and and your
01:39:25.280
supply the way you can go on tiktok right now i saw this in the new york post that uh they're
01:39:30.320
they're like tutorials on how to target a house for squatting and like there are guys who just do this
01:39:35.040
there's even there's literally cases where they'll they'll scope out houses that are for sale
01:39:40.820
and then people will fake lease them to people and then get them in there long enough that they'll
01:39:46.780
have squatters rights and then the person who actually sold them the lease just skips town
01:39:51.080
the chinese may not even need to buy up our land anymore they can just send in a bunch of squatters
01:39:55.620
yeah yep ccp our own ccp we're gonna get tiktok it'll be tiktok videos you know here's how to fly
01:40:01.860
to mexico here's how to cross the border here's what you tell them here's how you apply for the
01:40:05.280
fifteen thousand dollar a year credit card new york will give you here's how you get housing you
01:40:09.500
just break into this place here's the ngo that you will call that will give you free legal
01:40:13.480
representation uh against these poor saps who are stuck trying to evict you yeah and uh here's this
01:40:19.980
giant corporate law firm that'll chip in here's their pro bono here's the ngo to call yeah in trouble
01:40:24.360
and just it truly is a vast apparatus all right i want to close with a tease uh we have made the
01:40:30.580
decision we are going to street stream live on tuesday for super tuesday um so hopefully
01:40:35.900
i think trump's gonna win every state and that will just be kind of fun to watch and see and go
01:40:40.340
through all the states and also just kind of talk about different political dynamics in each of those
01:40:43.520
states as it comes in what are the super tuesday states by the way they change every time there's a
01:40:48.240
bunch so uh a couple move this year let's go through the list um really quick because i think
01:40:54.020
