despair and accept our inevitable demise we're gonna be black pilling all the media matters guys that are
00:01:10.540
listening here today wait no no no tyler welcome welcome in media matters you're not black pill at
00:01:15.580
all no i'm i'm a big i'm a big positivity he's teal pill times tyler new york times did a massive
00:01:24.380
what's up with this did a massive spread on tyler this week and he's like up leading you know
00:01:31.000
conducting the forces can you can you explain yourself sir yeah i mean it was a bad picture of
00:01:36.180
me but whatever it's fine i'll say i'll take it it's there's no good picture real quick where was
00:01:42.160
your hair in that picture like you're not like blake who just doesn't have hair to begin with
00:01:45.780
but you have like generally longer hair and like you it was like this yeah you were blaking it was
00:01:53.520
like this and like i was wearing this uh uh shirt that was probably a little bit too tight and you
00:01:59.320
know just like it so don't ignore that part if you see the new york times article but i think all in
00:02:04.460
all was pretty good uh highlighting the work that we're doing right now on getting ballot chasers into
00:02:11.140
the field in arizona and this is what's freaking out what's ballot chasing what does that mean
00:02:14.820
yeah so we're and this is really critical uh you know we've had this discussion about early voting
00:02:20.540
why early voting matters who should early vote uh you know the big thing that turning point action
00:02:26.340
is really focused on is getting more ballots in the ballot box yeah real quick while we do this
00:02:30.840
bring up my screen here we have this hot bod let's not let's not visible here
00:02:35.380
please keep it off oh no terrible now now all of our viewers are blind terrible that's how it is
00:02:41.440
horrible no i was trying to i see see blake i was trying to spare tyler the indignity of uh of the
00:02:49.880
photo but but no see black new york times did the new york times thing and they wanted to you know
00:02:54.800
put a put a not great photo up but that's fine that's okay because the message of early early voting
00:03:00.980
and early balloting is is out there the message of early voting is if you vote early you don't have
00:03:06.120
to stand in line with anyone and you don't need to maybe stand next to tyler bowyer or like what
00:03:11.080
happened in wisconsin this week on election day where there's a blizzard what happened in wisconsin
00:03:15.380
on election day tyler there was a blizzard and on election day this this week on tuesday and uh that's
00:03:22.440
always a problem so but you know our our big focus is is we want to get out early votes particularly
00:03:28.760
with low propensity voters so a big question that people have talked about a lot well i i like to
00:03:34.040
vote on election day do i need to change the the this the simple answer is no as long as you vote
00:03:40.080
right yeah what i always like to emphasize for this is if you plan to vote early and you forget you can
00:03:47.140
still vote on election day yes but if you want to vote on election day and then you forget you get
00:03:53.180
sick you have a family emergency a blizzard hit a blizzard hits the power any number of things that
00:03:58.420
can go wrong you have a work emergency you have to go out of town you can't right you can't go back
00:04:03.400
in time and vote early and i think in the big picture it is correct we are right to be suspicious
00:04:09.700
of mail-in ballots where i think a lot of people go astray is i don't think the problem with mail-in
00:04:14.180
ballots to be honest is that they'll see your envelope and steal it and change the vote and if
00:04:19.340
they have the capacity to do that they can probably do a lot of other fraud on election we don't have time
00:04:23.280
to get into all the reasons why people are suspicious of early voting however the most
00:04:28.060
the most frank and honest argument against everybody early voting is that the democrats will
00:04:34.940
just fund more chasing to outperform us if we give them a number to hit right that's that just
00:04:41.800
makes sense right like if you're in a basketball game which we'll get into right if if you're caitlin
00:04:47.420
clark right and you're hitting a bunch of threes early in the game they're gonna know how much they
00:04:52.480
have to make that up and so they're going to change their game plan for that that makes that
00:04:56.560
makes sense right that that is just a fun they're going to do that anyway they're going to do that
00:05:01.200
anyway and so the only answer to that even in that case is still you you still have to do it right
00:05:07.260
more votes it puts you in this right so because it puts you basically in this prisoner's dilemma of
00:05:11.940
well if i don't do it and they don't do it then i'm okay but if i don't do it and they do it then
00:05:19.160
i'm screwed but i have no leverage over them not doing it so i must do it as well and that's and
00:05:25.240
that's it that's actually it so you can put up the punnet square of that or whatever but we distilled
00:05:30.420
this earlier you know and we've been doing the slogan vote early win early just vote early win
00:05:34.800
early that's it it's just that well and you just you just said something which is really important
00:05:38.740
which is leverage if you throw the kitchen sink at the left even for those that are the most cynical
00:05:44.740
about the entire process and after seeing the last few elections with a lot of problems a lot
00:05:50.180
of rules changed to be honest a lot of these places if you throw the kitchen sink at the left
00:05:57.080
you're more likely to make them have to think rethink their game plan and you're going to have to make
00:06:03.500
them work harder let me give another good reason to do it everyone who votes you've probably had the
00:06:10.940
annoying experience of getting contacted by people asking you if you voted or making sure you've cast
00:06:15.480
your ballot they're doing this because they have a list of people who have voted that is updated
00:06:20.460
public information that's public information and they're going to nag you all the way because they
00:06:25.280
have to you know turn out get your vote out if you vote they'll stop doing that most of them will
00:06:30.880
yeah and that not only makes it less annoying for you that means every second that we spend nagging a
00:06:38.340
person to vote who is going to vote anyway is sort of a waste of time a waste of effort for us
00:06:42.940
whereas let's say hypothetically everyone who's a 100 voter voted you know at the very first day of
00:06:48.920
early voting then all your resources all your effort are spent on marginal votes people who might
00:06:53.840
not be voting and on election day when we have vans and we're like let's do turnout we're not driving
00:06:59.480
anyone to the polls who was going to vote anyway we're only driving those people we tracked down who
00:07:04.140
are favorable to us but are marginal voters often don't vote it's just statistical analysis right
00:07:09.380
which is you get more out of the things that you expect least right so if you if you're able to to
00:07:17.580
have something to happen that is not likely to happen it makes it harder for your opponent to be able to
00:07:25.660
strategize against it but that's that's worth more to you uh by a one-for-one you know early vote
00:07:32.940
than a later vote doesn't buy you a whole lot it buys you some confidence right but it doesn't buy
00:07:40.340
you anything new uh with the what the left has figured out and this is the simple the layman's
00:07:46.580
way of explaining it is that all of these independents who are becoming honestly more
00:07:52.040
conservative millennials are becoming more conservative uh independence right now like
00:07:57.000
trump is pulling i think 10 15 points ahead in some of these polls and with independence
00:08:00.940
they can cancel out all those votes if they can make sure that some left-wing lunatic who never
00:08:06.500
votes they can turn out that person's ballot and so our side has to look at this and go we just got
00:08:12.160
to turn out a more a right-wing low-perensity vote and to cancel out the left-wing vote that they're
00:08:20.500
chasing to cancel out the independent that they're chasing does that make sense so like that's for for
00:08:24.660
our side it's we've got to do this work to match it's not everything there's still a number of
00:08:30.220
things that we have to keep an eye on there's a ton of manipulation happening but by throwing the
00:08:34.840
kitchen sink like jack said you are creating a new layer of leverage that allows us to win and that's
00:08:42.400
really critical and that's worth and speaking if we have to have photos of that's what about your
00:08:49.320
every awful photo that they put on the front page in new york times that's 10 000 so speaking of
00:08:54.540
throwing the kitchen sink it's almost like oh i don't know throwing threes if you will
00:09:01.800
oh well actually we're going to get to that later we're going to get to charlie just walked in
00:09:06.060
oh there's someone here oh yes we've got charlie has arrived he's arrived with his hat and everything
00:09:11.500
before we get to that side of charlie was held up another side because he had to get he had to get
00:09:16.000
a hat so he was actually uh removing husks off corn that's right i i have become a corn husker
00:09:24.080
how does the hat look everybody it is a beautiful thing can we get it can we tighten the hat
00:09:29.940
i can't see oh oh there it is yeah got it yeah we got to get a tight shot on that it's my uh
00:09:35.580
my nebraska corn husker hat yes we're all we're all in on the horn corn husker gambit man we have a lot
00:09:41.280
of new listeners from nebraska this week i think that uh our downloads have really increased in the
00:09:47.040
great state of nebraska uh there yeah there it is you know they won a national title you got to check
00:09:53.460
me 1970 1971 um 19 i want to say 84 and then 1995 and 1997 i'm very positive that one of those
00:10:06.480
championships like am i right like 70 71 457 yep and they won a rose bowl of those yeah i said yeah
00:10:13.520
84 right 94 94 no i thought there was one of those five they have an unclaimed national title in 82 and
00:10:20.040
83 yeah that's right yeah uh is that the one where they did the fumble ruski in the orange bowl
00:10:23.940
and then they lost to miami yeah well the unclaimed one i think is because there was two separate
00:10:29.060
bowls because they didn't have a playoff back then and they were multiple yeah don't we just love how
00:10:33.240
college football makes perfect sense and just like college football it still doesn't make sense just
00:10:37.420
like college football doesn't make perfect sense though for anyone who's not following the intense
00:10:41.460
uh the big story this week in politics uh that our show basically set off a volcano and now
00:10:47.240
we're getting write-ups in the washington post oh everywhere at abc guardian just london people
00:10:51.920
noticing this so wait wait wait you guys launched this and like i was like you were doing this on
00:10:57.300
charlie's show and then all of a sudden like like i'm getting ready for my show and i get blown up and
00:11:02.640
everybody's like what's all the nebraska i'm like the nebraska what's everybody's talking about
00:11:05.920
nebraska walk me through how you numbskulls like launched this you you like set the entire state of
00:11:13.380
nebraska on fire like on a tuesday so here's the truth i remember a couple thought crimes ago i came
00:11:19.400
in i asked tyler about it and you're like yeah i don't know it's kind of dead and at the time it
00:11:23.020
kind of was no it is dead like it was like it was dead it was dead i was like okay this is a this is
00:11:28.180
an effort that was it what is it kicked up an over a year let's say someone has no idea okay well i've
00:11:33.900
done this like 15 times this week but uh nebraska does their electoral votes based by congressional
00:11:39.080
district so omaha has become liberal throughout the years so joe biden is almost guaranteed to
00:11:43.640
get an extra electoral vote in the state of nebraska because they don't go win or take all
00:11:47.320
like 48 other states do maine does something similar and so we so anyway that that's the that's
00:11:53.040
the context it could be changed by legislature so then we're prepping for the show on tuesday we
00:11:58.760
were it was during the show even we were just laying out on the show we were talking about rfk's
00:12:05.220
impact on the race and how the polls are close and what i did is i went to real clear politics
00:12:09.460
and i looked at the latest polls for each of the battleground states and i just pasted it and it
00:12:13.560
showed trump up in most of the states and then a few were tied and i think in wisconsin biden was ahead
00:12:18.380
and i said if biden wins all the states here that he's up or tied he wins 270 to 268 and then this is
00:12:25.940
what i threw in i said or it could be a 269 tie and go to the house if nebraska gets off its butt
00:12:32.660
and changes its law where they give democrats a free electoral vote that is true and then
00:12:38.080
charlie's party says wait tweet that and so i go and i look it up and so we whip out we pump out a
00:12:44.040
tweet and put it online and we're just looking at it and there's a bill that's in the legislature
00:12:48.280
that's all stalled out for some reason and a lot of work went into you know getting the bill there
00:12:52.520
and it's just kind of stalled out no momentum nothing and they've had four years to do this well this
00:12:56.300
has been this was this has been discussed for now numerous cycles now there's a greater context
00:13:02.200
than nebraska nebraska has been a fairly moderate state from a republican standpoint so they haven't
00:13:08.600
wanted to touch this in a while now the more conservative state party leadership has said
00:13:14.020
this is the most obvious thing that we should be doing and they've been talking about this non-stop
00:13:19.380
for the last three years and so the conservative state party leadership that's there now we've been
00:13:25.860
working with and having eric underwood on quite a bit onto the show and talking with him quite a bit
00:13:30.300
now charlie's now best friends with eric on on text with everything so i'm i'm in the weeds here
00:13:35.120
in the weeds so so it's just kind of it was like perfect timing it's perfect storm and so we we do
00:13:40.440
this thing we do a segment so we i had this whole show mapped out and the show was we were going to do
00:13:45.680
three reasons why the democrats are not doing well right and all of a sudden i i do a segment on
00:13:52.940
the nebraska thing and the audience is loving it so then i do another five minutes on the nebraska thing
00:13:57.980
and it turns into 10 minutes and it turns into like 20 minutes and the whole show ends up being
00:14:02.560
about nebraska and we sent out a tweet being like hey you know governor pillin um do you do you want
00:14:08.340
to you know do something about this and he came out five hours later was like i support this then
00:14:13.580
president trump comes out is i support this this thing just comes to life out of nowhere and it can
00:14:19.580
be done i mean and i want to i want to emphasize how important this is because just so many people
00:14:23.640
don't seem to fully realize this so let's bring up my computer screen here uh so this is 270 to win
00:14:29.460
dot com so named because we all know we have the electoral college you need 270 electoral votes to
00:14:34.960
win keep keep it up please uh and so this is the map that we had if we maintain what we had in uh
00:14:42.460
2016 or 2020 and so there's been some changes to the values because we had a census so for example
00:14:48.240
montana's worth four now it was worth three texas is 40 instead of 38 stuff like that and so this was
00:14:54.420
the map as it was then so let's say we take back georgia we take back arizona we're still down here
00:15:00.480
now let's say we take nevada where trump is pulling ahead right now this is the key those are the three
00:15:05.360
states that we are pulling consistently ahead in rust belt state sometimes we're ahead sometimes we're
00:15:10.900
down it's close those three states were consistently ahead if you look up here if those are the three we
00:15:16.460
switch democrats 270 republicans 268 that's because there's this one vote in nebraska that went for
00:15:24.700
biden in 2020 and if it goes that way again they'll have it now if we make this not the case if we made
00:15:30.680
it so nebraska was winner take all it's 269 269 and if it's a tie it goes to the house of representatives
00:15:38.180
each state house delegation gets one vote you do ballots until someone wins yeah with the current
00:15:44.460
house setup that would be a republican win and even if we lose the house odds are quite good it would
00:15:50.220
still be a republican win because california's got a million democrats but there's still only one vote
00:15:54.420
that's right well and there's two keys here that you have to be focused on one is that if if if
00:16:00.260
nebraska does this not only does it change potentially the outcome of the worst case scenario
00:16:06.180
on election day but it changes how the democrats have to campaign right because if nebraska does
00:16:13.380
this it makes nevada more important to republicans right and and i'm not saying this we love our
00:16:19.940
we love seagal chata we love mike we love all our people jim in most scenarios right now nevada is
00:16:26.100
just not useless not not worth it either means we fall just short or we're already spilling over
00:16:31.640
like we have to wait that is usually like a nice to have thing that is it's something where republicans
00:16:38.740
will you know put up some effort but it's it's it's not usually crucial well well there's two things
00:16:43.940
here right so remember there's not nevada's not a populated state it's not a highly populated state
00:16:49.280
smaller than all the other swing states and then the second part is you have main two which is
00:16:54.860
really not populated right so if nebraska does this what this does is it forces the democrats
00:17:01.560
to have to win maine as a total they have to spend money in maine that they don't want to spend
00:17:06.980
that already they could potentially lose because trump's so popular in maine too that's one two
00:17:12.580
is nevada where they have all the workers everything with all the unions but now they're going to have
00:17:17.060
to spend exorbitant amounts of money when republicans don't care about nevada because now all of a sudden
00:17:23.180
republicans are going to go you know what nevada is a lot easier to win for us than wisconsin so maybe
00:17:29.020
we'll go all in on nevada or all in on nevada and arizona nevada and wisconsin and it screws up
00:17:38.600
everything for the democrats this is the reason why nebraska matters so much to this this conversation
00:17:44.480
and we know it if you don't do this in nevada not only could you potentially lose by one electoral
00:17:49.680
college vote because they'll put everything into maine and i don't have the faith that we the
00:17:54.680
republican party can you know survive world war three in maine too well the thing about maine
00:18:00.680
yeah i mean if they were to try to respond and change their rules in maine there's like a ballot
00:18:06.140
signature so i checked into this so this is the amazing thing so this is this is how this could get
00:18:10.940
really exciting really quick so let's say we get nebraska don't even get us into the procedural
00:18:16.720
issues we're running into we'll elaborate i don't even know if that's worth talking about
00:18:19.620
yeah it's more fun to talk about this let's assume we'll do that on the show tomorrow we'll assume we
00:18:23.680
motivate these people and we get this passed here's the essence if they want to get it done they can
00:18:27.780
get it done that's it if you want to get it so period if they want it enough they get this done
00:18:31.960
currently we don't know how badly retaliation if if we get this out of nebraska is that in maine
00:18:37.300
that's controlled by democrats right now they would introduce same thing they would get rid of their
00:18:42.360
non-winner-take-all system and so we'd have all 50 states winner-take-all they would cancel out
00:18:47.600
but here's the fun part both of these states both maine and nebraska allow voters to collect
00:18:54.220
signatures to challenge a law passed by the legislature and say we need to have the public
00:18:58.640
vote on this a lot of states have this and in both of them what you can do is if you gather enough
00:19:04.940
signatures you can delay the implementation of the law until it's been approved by voters you can
00:19:11.460
just pause it and say this law doesn't take effect yeah but i checked the exact amounts
00:19:15.420
in maine you need to get a number of signatures equal to 10 of the vote in the last gubernatorial
00:19:23.920
election so i think in maine that would work out to about 68 000 votes i think they had about 600
00:19:28.500
some thousand votes they have an off year election cycle so 10 of the votes in the gubernatorial election
00:19:33.440
to delay the law that's an easier threshold to hit and that would be what we'd want to do because
00:19:37.880
we're trying to keep an electoral vote in nebraska you need 10 of all registered voters which is a
00:19:47.360
much bigger pool of people that's probably about twice as big i would guess and for them to be able
00:19:55.440
to delay the implementation so we could conceivably have it where we are we would be able to even if
00:20:01.480
they both pass this law we could have ours be going into effect consistently whereas theirs would
00:20:06.900
get delayed one election cycle and by the way our maine people have said that's never going to
00:20:11.240
happen because even the republicans in maine want to keep it democrats in maine so it's a historical
00:20:17.040
thing they want to keep it so i still think that and i'm just thinking about that person who's in
00:20:22.820
you know listening out there that's like okay this all sounds interesting and very exciting but but
00:20:27.360
so what who you know nebraska maine we're not talking about major states here talking about one vote
00:20:32.100
here one vote there why does one electoral college vote in nebraska matter so much well it's i mean the
00:20:39.260
1877 presidential election with rutherford b hayes was decided by one electoral vote yeah and as we
00:20:44.340
said it's two if we had those three states flip it's 270 to 268 right now versus 269 269 if we have
00:20:51.840
this and if we assume republicans can win a house election which is not a sure thing but more than 50
00:20:57.880
chance we're basically looking at whether we do this or not might be the difference in whether
00:21:03.120
we win the 2024 election or just because of how it affects the map flipping that one electoral vote
00:21:10.600
is literally like winning one additional state just there yes let get omaha and it's like we won a free
00:21:16.580
extra state well and what it does too it create it shifts your entire strategy so it creates what we
00:21:22.780
were calling this earlier the sunbelt strategy so you pick up nevada now you've got now you've got
00:21:27.500
nevada boom which has been trending our way because of this hispanic swing that we're seeing i'm not
00:21:31.880
i'm not saying that i feel safe about nevada and and we can fix this we can fix this if we all want
00:21:37.840
to it's as simple as that now donald trump and the republicans can get to 269 269 just with the sunbelt
00:21:47.120
and not even any of the the rust belt states so that's out of ohio democrats have to defend
00:21:53.500
well yeah i mean the swing breast belt stays so the blue democrats have to defend every single one
00:22:00.540
of them and all trump has to do is win one and this can i add this under real quick huge the reason
00:22:06.760
why this matters so much too on top of that and and i get we've repeated this again like we should
00:22:11.460
just put this map up because i think it's confusing versus the sunbelt strategy for our side
00:22:15.980
our side is not as prepared right the left has had a coordinated strategy to reinstate the blue wall
00:22:24.220
because of this this knowledge that they're so they're they're planning on competing for cd2
00:22:31.060
because they want that congressional vote it's an easy thing for them right because we can't leave
00:22:35.740
this off the map too that congressional vote is an easy i mean we we have a really tight
00:22:40.840
narrow congress right now cd2 in nebraska is winnable for them so they're already putting
00:22:47.400
in resources there so we're just giving them free reign to spend 10 million plus dollars but this jives
00:22:54.220
perfectly with their blue wall strategy what this does that's why it's so that's why they're freaking
00:23:00.800
out at the level they are we have some tape too i want to play it throws absolute chaos so this is the
00:23:05.400
power of our program and the power of all what we're doing here because look you could tell if
00:23:10.120
we were onto something based on their reaction if we do this and all of a sudden it was met with oh
00:23:14.800
who cares okay then it's a nice thing no no all of a sudden they woke up the next morning on msnbc
00:23:20.740
the next morning um i don't know what we have up on screen there we have like a picture in picture
00:23:25.380
there or something they wanted me to have the map up okay let's uh let me try to find this piece of
00:23:30.740
tape here okay it is cut one this is it takes away biden's best path to victory it's that simple
00:23:38.880
play cut 59 so jim it is never too early to talk about 270 the magic number and there's some
00:23:46.440
development let's talk about the map yeah let's talk about the map for a second because there's
00:23:49.440
a little buzzing about certain about nebraska right now the governor there has thrown his support behind
00:23:54.200
an effort that would no longer allocate the electoral votes by congressional district because
00:23:57.900
right now it's five votes there technically republicans get four and president biden democrats
00:24:02.180
get the one from omaha that's right if that changes and we don't know that it will it's the
00:24:05.940
state legislature is going to look at it but if that changes that takes away biden's best path to win
00:24:10.760
because if you get if he wins wisconsin pennsylvania michigan but loses the other swing states and no longer
00:24:17.760
picks up the one in nebraska 269 uh that leads playbook this morning the alarm among democrats that this
00:24:24.360
is possible oh it leads playbook let me just say it's not just possible i'm not going to get into
00:24:30.180
any inside baseball number one i'd bore you to death number two it's changing real time number three i'm
00:24:34.480
not going to divulge any strategy because that's not the way you win let me just tell you the essence
00:24:38.680
i just tweeted this out after over six hours of calls and texts with countless people in nebraska
00:24:45.400
over the last 48 hours here is the takeaway if lawmakers want to get it done it can be done
00:24:51.980
there is a very clear path to make nebraska winner take all if it doesn't happen it's because there
00:24:57.780
wasn't enough will to win it's that simple i've gone through every parliamentarian argument you could
00:25:03.880
imagine right blake well let's not reveal our any of the stuff we don't reveal the strategy but i want
00:25:08.760
i just want to get to the we're not we're not calling for anything unconstitutional anything
00:25:14.260
illegal by anything unprecedented let's just be clear we're not calling for anything even remotely to
00:25:19.560
what the democrats did in 2020 where they contorted election law to do goofy stuff right we're talking
00:25:24.980
about like letter of the law by the book it might require a couple extra hours of work yeah this is
00:25:33.180
totally doable but we're talking nothing more extreme than like what republicans did that to
00:25:37.800
get gorsuch on the supreme court yes let me just emphasize i went deep into this stuff today and i
00:25:43.300
walked away with there's a clear path can i just say something it's laughable on msnbc they're talking
00:25:49.140
about oh my gosh they're trying to change rules in an election year guys we are literally
00:25:55.420
many many moons out here from the election first off this doesn't even fall within the supreme court
00:26:03.240
initiated rule which is really within the months before the election but let's just rewind back to
00:26:09.100
2020 when democrats were trying to force everyone to vote by mail within the last few weeks before the
00:26:15.360
election and all the courts all these different states had to strike it down the ruling question
00:26:20.260
is the one almost every state follows exactly it's not like it'd be one thing if we were trying to go
00:26:26.800
to a state that currently was winner take all and make them go that would be not that would at least
00:26:32.840
be like doing dangerous stuff with the system it'd be legal but dangerous this is just like hey like
00:26:37.560
in nevada if we try to do that nevada right now right which we don't even have the political power
00:26:40.880
to do that but all right i want to tell you guys about rumble cloud i do want to talk more about
00:26:44.060
nebraska in a second i want to emphasize this point because i i think the the will to win has been the
00:26:49.280
takeaway i i i hope it's there i know it's there with the nebraska grassroots i know it's there with
00:26:55.140
the people of nebraska i know it's there with the governor and the senator and i want to make sure
00:27:00.580
it's there with the lawmakers i pray are you getting tired of a surprise when you see your cloud

00:27:52.960
this is hard for me to explain because i've been i mean texting like crazy and i i explain somebody
00:28:00.020
called me they said charlie what do you mean that some of them don't have the will to win
00:28:04.140
who who wants to take that i'll take it i mean i've been talking with the nebraska gop guys for some time
00:28:14.580
and you know we have fanchon that's there and eric but i mean look you and they they described it
00:28:22.640
really well and we had some of this problem in arizona where we had a very establishment republican
00:28:27.280
held state for many years that didn't want to rock the boat they didn't want to do things that would
00:28:32.140
ultimately long-term benefit the republican party because even though they had a trifecta in their
00:28:38.240
state and all the political capital in the world to expend and everything else it was more about just
00:28:43.460
being liked with lobbyists and being liked with uh people who are you know very establishment governors
00:28:50.660
who are doing these deals in the background with democrats and everything else and and that's what
00:28:56.400
you have going on we all know that that's the uniparty stuff that we talked about that drives
00:28:59.760
people crazy you know and and to be fair donald trump is is the art of the deal guy so there's
00:29:06.580
deals and then there's defending america there's deals and then there's defending the republican party
00:29:12.220
and making sure your state is in good hands for another generation and i think part of the issue is
00:29:17.180
that that people are now seeing through uh this very particular lens that's been brought up with this
00:29:23.680
issue is that oh my gosh these people in nebraska who claim to be republicans are not focused on
00:29:29.940
saving the country and this is like the part that you know we don't have to get into this but
00:29:35.540
what if we lose 270 to 268 what if we lose by one electoral college vote what does that mean well you know
00:29:44.300
we've got a really great couple supreme court justices that are conservative who are probably not
00:29:49.620
going to be able to last another four years and we can't expect that or they might even pass in office
00:29:54.960
because they're too old right that that means that we could lose the supreme court because we have
00:30:01.320
another four years of joe biden they could add two more states in dc and puerto rico they could pack the
00:30:07.640
supreme court they could do all these different things that we will legitimately lose the country for
00:30:13.180
entire generation all because of potentially one electoral college vote even if that's a 0.0001
00:30:21.740
chance you have to act and so again the will has to be there when you have the the vision of like
00:30:28.760
well what's the worst that could possibly happen and how realistic how what's the likelihood it could
00:30:33.620
happen this is not a like oh well this is a crazy thing what blake has seen is something that people
00:30:40.660
political scientists have been looking at for many years this is a real possibility and what's also
00:30:46.060
a real possibility is what the the dems will do if they get total control of the country it is uh it's
00:30:52.840
very eye-opening but it could look here's the thing this thing was dead we've already seen a lot of
00:30:59.380
these lawmakers that were against it flip so this thing could be flipped even more and it just takes the
00:31:06.180
will you know some people say oh you know we've tried our best and hold on no no no no there is so
00:31:13.420
much that could be done and we'll just leave it at that well i'll say this charlie can you imagine
00:31:20.600
if you were a legislator in nebraska and by the way like charlie said there's so many people stepping
00:31:26.020
up to do the right thing finally if the 11th hour whatever that's there's a a perfect storm that's
00:31:32.720
going to happen with this week and we were kind of laughing about it earlier but it really couldn't
00:31:37.500
have happened a month ago and it may not have happened at all had trump not become the nominee
00:31:41.880
as early as he did but we won't get into all those different things but can you imagine if they do
00:31:47.460
nothing and that and that you know one percent if we lose by one electoral vote after we could have
00:31:55.680
fixed this i think it it's not just possible the polling shows that's probable it's the polling it
00:32:02.980
is probably i don't want to say it's probable in the sense that it's over 50 it might be the most
00:32:07.780
likely single outcome of this election right now yes i totally agree the most likely outcome based on
00:32:13.580
all publicly available polling is this and let's talk about why the rust belt has declining populations
00:32:19.620
with loose voting laws that are tilting democrat governments democrat governments and the rust belt
00:32:26.540
was taken by surprise in 2016 and they have like a huge infrastructure the sun belt georgia north
00:32:33.820
carolina arizona nevada have increasing populations of right-wingers moving to their states totally right
00:32:39.820
we have revitalized state parties and we have the ballot chasing in arizona and nevada is out for
00:32:45.620
revenge so the sun belt is different than the rust belt so holy moly you run the math it just so
00:32:51.340
happens you're catching lightning in a bottle another reason is polls indicate hispanics are
00:32:56.240
moving to the right and we're catching all those in the sun there's very few of those in the rust belt
00:33:00.140
very few very few and so you have nevada you have arizona texas which won't be a problem georgia which
00:33:07.160
i think is going to course correct and so it's it's like i want you to emphasize again based on data
00:33:13.120
it's the most likely outcome right now exactly if you it's not we're not saying this will happen
00:33:17.320
we're not saying this happens a majority of the time but if you imagine we run this election
00:33:21.200
let's run the election 10 000 times the scenario where trump flips georgia arizona nevada and no
00:33:29.380
other states is probably the one that will appear the most often and then in that scenario right now
00:33:37.180
with nevada as it is we lose joe biden's president and if you change that to nevada not nebraska if we
00:33:43.160
change nebraska to the system we want trump basically would win and especially and here's
00:33:48.240
the thing if you get to 269 tie the president has enough tails that the house would be republican
00:33:54.740
so meaning that that new house would not be even if it's a democrat house it'd be close i think it's
00:33:59.500
a pre-existing one no i don't i think no it's it's the current one you don't because the house
00:34:04.860
the house goes before it flips over january 3rd it is heated i see the house is seated oh it's the
00:34:10.480
new house because here's what happens and they do it immediately i thought there was an argument
00:34:14.660
over this so so well on january 6th of the 2025 ah he said it well but it's just it's the date that
00:34:22.440
it's going to happen on right it's the first tuesday whatever say it again okay well let's see is
00:34:26.980
it actually that date let me see i thought the congressional members get seated after january
00:34:31.240
okay it's actually constitutionally january it's actually it's actually january 8th i think this
00:34:35.420
year um but because i think i think congress begins on january 3rd no i know i'm looking at the calendar
00:34:42.800
so january 3rd whatever date it is where they count the votes they're going to bring it in and whoever
00:34:48.980
oversees it which will be kamala harris at the time yeah we'll say okay we have a deadlock tie at 269 and
00:34:54.480
we'll know this going into it unless there's faithless electors which we have to you know
00:34:58.480
think about which that could happen that can happen that's a thing right um so 269 269 and all of a
00:35:04.180
sudden the house will then convene into little pockets yep and at that point i still think the
00:35:09.780
president of the senate kamala harris is overseeing the procedure i don't think it's a speaker johnson
00:35:13.880
thing but but the the house is the new house at that point the house votes so it's the new delegation
00:35:20.440
yeah it's the new house it's not the old house yeah so whatever we do at the house so to give an
00:35:25.420
idea harriet hageman from wyoming would have the same amount of vote as the entire california
00:35:33.640
delegation 55 members and that just makes so much chaos anyone who's from one of those one person
00:35:38.900
states north dakota south dakota vermont on the other side delaware rhode island rhode island i think
00:35:45.580
lost theirs but i think that if if every if every red state alaska's a democrat now we have to flip
00:35:50.880
that back well oh that's interesting well well so if you look at the numbers because you break down
00:35:55.520
the numbers we would still be fine even with alaska being is that right now we would win i think we'd
00:35:59.880
win with the current house we'd win with the current then that it gets really fun the senate
00:36:04.060
selects the vice president and the democrats have that and it's individual senators but hold on
00:36:09.160
if trump were to get to a 269 tie it's reasonable to think that we'll win west virginia and we'll
00:36:15.220
probably either win maryland ohio or montana hogan is up like eight points in maryland he's raising a lot
00:36:20.920
of establishment money but would hogan want trump's vp hogan could be the kind of guy i can just see so
00:36:26.200
much chaos stuff imagine you have imagine the democrats worry about and you have like one faithless
00:36:31.000
elector because they're saying that they outlawed faithless electors i don't know if that's true
00:36:35.140
but not every state's done it not every state has done it so imagine we have one faithless elector
00:36:41.060
for vice president just to go with this guy willing to go to jail one person does a faithful
00:36:46.720
faithless vote for vice president you pick from the top three under the 12th amendment yes for both
00:36:52.180
offices and if you have no president chosen the vice president we would know that well we would
00:36:57.400
know that ahead of time because the electoral college meets in december and then the electoral votes
00:37:00.740
are brought to so they do but the congress doesn't vote until that point no that's right no so we
00:37:05.700
would know ahead of time we would know so let's say someone does this where they throw out a gambit
00:37:09.540
and they do one faithless vote for vice president for someone making them eligible to be picked in the
00:37:14.660
senate and then you have democrats and republicans collude to have this person chosen as vice president
00:37:20.100
and then someone deadlocks the president vote yeah the president vote happens first i think i think the
00:37:25.660
president vote happens first i think the president happens first yeah kamala harris i think i think
00:37:29.860
they could possibly deadlock it so kamala harris would preside over her own potential appointment
00:37:35.140
as vice president let's go wilder what if someone does it for president itself because you need the
00:37:39.100
majority so let's say it was 269 269 you could have a biden vote vote for someone else and it
00:37:44.620
wouldn't guarantee a trump win and then you have a third candidate let's say someone goes i pick mit
00:37:48.720
romney do you guys see how important nebraska is i pick mit romney for president and then suddenly
00:37:53.040
now delegations can vote for him but that's only if it's the top three votes exactly but if you have
00:37:58.700
one faithless elector no it has to be one has to be the top three vote top three vote getters so we
00:38:03.480
only have two vote getters normally i think it's more likely that you'd have a faithless elector for
00:38:07.840
kennedy so maybe so then let's you combine all that together what does it mean it means that if we flip
00:38:14.440
the senate we could end up getting our vp of choice the house i don't think that they would defect on
00:38:21.780
trump the house is more conservative i don't think they would they're more accountable to primaries
00:38:26.000
because every two years so i think the house would stay pretty strong yeah there's no the senate the
00:38:31.820
senate cuts deals man like this now if shahey wins in montana and flips that tester seat and justice
00:38:40.120
will vote fine because he likes trump and their buddies you get to 51 votes is the senate you're you
00:38:47.140
get to decide the vice president united states but i can't remember how it works because so the split
00:38:51.060
states would vote against each other so those you mean the house no for this it's for the vp vote
00:38:56.820
what do you mean oh for the senate no that's i think no no every senator every senate gets a vote
00:39:02.060
yeah every it's not every state so they don't do it by delegation for the vp i don't think it's
00:39:06.440
possible because you have split states yeah right is that correct blake sorry well think about it so
00:39:11.360
it's not by delegation for the senate so think about a state like maine yeah where you have susan
00:39:15.020

heartland of america where the sun sets on the plains there's a state called nebraska where it
00:41:24.760

democracy say from omaha to lincoln carney to scotts bluff let's make a change for the better
00:42:07.080
it's time to switch it up i'm not making it up so the plot twist here we did that there's a new
00:42:14.260
ai machine that can make songs about a minute long don't say the name don't say the name don't say
00:42:18.760
the name i won't say it i won't say it because it'll shut it down can i ask you a question i'm not
00:42:21.880
kidding the omaha to lincoln carney to scotts bluff the ai came up with that can i and what how long
00:42:28.160
did it take oh it takes like 20 seconds can we get a rap version together that says that we're
00:42:34.080
going to eject nebraska from the union if they don't do this and we lose we're kidding
00:42:38.640
that's getting aggressive i love nebraska i'm wearing the hat listen to me right now if we
00:42:44.740
lose by one electoral college let's just stay positive it's it's it's gonna happen i'm not
00:42:49.280
not positive i'm just saying country songs if if there will be no country left in this than this
00:42:55.020
i i want let me go country in our country let's make sure they know that we need you guys we need
00:43:01.040
nebraska to do the right thing democrats will ban country music they will charlie might too but he's
00:43:07.760
not running for president this is why ai should get on the rap for uh you know if what happens if
00:43:14.740
that song is i gotta play that on the show tomorrow oh yeah well we've got it we've got it ready to go
00:43:19.380
all right let's get to other topics here and start to commit some thought crimes all righty for sure
00:43:23.620
for sure okay time for a thought crime topic is women's basketball a real sport charlie i'll say i
00:43:29.780
was i'm a yes yes it is but i'm a i was a skeptic of caitlin clark i'm a big basketball fan i was
00:43:35.700
like all right what is all this hype what is all this nonsense because i thought it was an op and i
00:43:39.920
am a very very strict creator she can ball man she's very very good now she good against men probably not
00:43:47.340
but she's but no i'm saying like if she had to compete against like other college men but there's
00:43:52.620
difference between men and women yeah she she's really talented and impressive under pressure like
00:43:58.100
yeah the amount of pressure here's what i respect about her she's selling on arenas she's like
00:44:03.160
player of the year she lost national title last year she's midwestern work ethic she's like works
00:44:09.180
her tail off they have ads that they're running non-stop for her and she still performs at a high
00:44:14.040
elite level i think she's great it was in the elite eight game against lsu this on monday night
00:44:21.280
yes lsu they're a bunch of 12.3 million people watched on espn wow that is more than uh all but
00:44:29.660
one game in the nba finals last year and it's more than the final game of the world series yeah
00:44:35.940
and just so you guys understand she she uh caitlin clark shoots 44 percent from the field
00:44:41.840
that's unbelievable all right that's also like blake that's also like 50 times more people than
00:44:48.000
watch all of the rnc debates combined that's true so i was i i'll be i was like okay what is this op
00:44:55.240
like what are they pushing all i see is they're pushing they're pushing this like wholesome like
00:45:01.020
really sweet hard-working midwesterner that has was just is really good at basketball i actually
00:45:08.600
think for once there's an op where there isn't an agenda and it's kind of fun i'm kind of like
00:45:12.420
supportive of it's kind of funny because you kind of think of like really aggressively pushing women's
00:45:17.780
sports maybe a little bit you know left-wing coded yes but the places that like women's sports the
00:45:22.960
most are actually often sort of conservative rural midwestern states that's where it's really
00:45:28.460
taken off like here's a crazy fact like nebraska in nebraska for example they fill up i think
00:45:35.020
nebraska's women's volleyball team they can fill up like a 60 000 person arena to watch them no no
00:45:40.580
they filled up the entire husker stadium for the largest uh volleyball event they broke the guinness
00:45:45.940
world book yeah it was like 111 000 people yeah just just turn in and what's kind of great is it
00:45:51.120
actually is a perfect pairing because if you a lot of places they're not going to consistently
00:45:56.400
compete in like men's basketball where there's like established powers but if you really want to
00:46:00.440
you can carve out you know and be a consistent title contender in you know volleyball in badminton
00:46:07.200
in some of these like secondary sports and that's pretty neat i suppose no i just i hope she wins the
00:46:13.840
national title um i know nothing about her politics or any of that but i just she she is someone that
00:46:20.440
i i under pressure you average 32 points a game and you shoot 46 from the field with a lot of people
00:46:28.380
thinking that you're going to choke it's pretty i mean people are complaining that there have been
00:46:32.760
not like thought crimes this episode so i'm just going to do a drive-by on everyone basketball is a
00:46:37.140
lame sport okay what how how could you say such a what do you what's the definition of lame okay first
00:46:41.960
of all like soccer one one yes too much sporing so you like soccer no i like you know what would
00:46:49.140
make basketball perfect is if a higher rim no if you made them all play on ice and you turned the
00:46:55.840
ball into like a rubber object it sounds like they can hit it with a stick i can't of course i can't
00:47:00.960
play that's why you don't like basketball yeah but that's the thing something like 20 of people who
00:47:05.520
are seven foot tall or more play in the nba i hate that means nba is like just a height
00:47:09.460
check as opposed to a skill check i have had more blood sweat and tears drawn i played a lot of
00:47:15.820
sports i grew up playing every sport like a lot of american kids you play soccer you play baseball
00:47:21.060
you play basketball i was the worst at basketball the worst i played other sports better i wasn't that
00:47:27.220
great at some other sports i played lacrosse i played everything i've had the most fond memories
00:47:32.320
straight up american memories with my dad playing on in front of our house on the hoop with my son
00:47:39.420
playing horse i've got more fights with with kids at school playing and all that there is no we got
00:47:46.400
in this argument uh there's no more american sport because it started here in america and it's now
00:47:51.860
invented by a canadian a canadian american no see no that basketball is the most american sport
00:48:00.080
wait naesmith was a canadian allegedly he was a professor no naesmith was in kansas he was a
00:48:05.580
canadian american it was at where was he born he's right he was born in kansas in al monte
00:48:09.780
province of canada but he invented it but he was on the american continent blake
00:48:14.500
oh my god okay didn't naesmith invent it in kansas i believe he invented it in springfield uh
00:48:22.860
massachusetts but he said so he was like he found it he found the kansas basketball program he's
00:48:29.320
their only head coach with a losing record even though he's the one that invented basketball yes
00:48:34.280
he has a losing record as kansas basketball coach but but here's my my argument is that is that
00:48:40.500
basketball is not actually a modern game those are just modern rules to a very ancient game and you can
00:48:45.680
find ancient and blake you and i were chatting about this the other day off air um like ancient
00:48:51.060
mesoamerican ball game which includes a a court which includes a giant ring and a ball that is
00:49:00.060
thrown into the ring that have been around for like thousands of years and the mayans used to play this
00:49:05.880
game and we have pretty strong evidence by the way and the courts are still there you can go visit
00:49:11.480
them when you visit these things chichen itza it's all there and uh we've pretty strong evidence that
00:49:16.160
rituals were also part of the competitions and a human sacrifice at one point was part of the games
00:49:22.380
as well i would support basketball a lot more if the losing team or the winning team we're actually
00:49:27.420
not sure with those uh ancient mine it's actually not someone got killed like like they do the lacrosse
00:49:32.840
like was it was a better to the gods if you i would support basketball more if we did that but no
00:49:39.160
here's the problem with basketball one they score too much like if you watch espn highlights
00:49:43.200
nba yes but in a football game like in a football game the most exciting play might be in the first
00:49:47.940
quarter because there's an amazing deep pass or an interception or a kickoff return in basketball
00:49:53.420
if you watch the highlights it's always just like oh and then he does a sick dunk and it's worth the
00:49:58.600
same amount as any other you have no respect for the beauty of the game no i don't you have no respect
00:50:03.240
there you go you have no respect for the the little parts of basketball from crossing somebody out or
00:50:09.020
a beautiful cut or you know that's just it all it leads us to a two or three point score but it
00:50:15.820
doesn't matter there's too much scoring it's too low stakes so you must be like a again like a massive
00:50:21.340
soccer or golf fan i don't like soccer either because soccer goes too far the other way where
00:50:25.560
a zero zero tie is too common the best sport is football i agree but clearly the best one is better
00:50:31.520
because in football they score you know but football is great because it's times a game football is like
00:50:36.160
the closest thing we have like a simulation of war where it's like pure brutal con compact contact
00:50:41.860
compact but also contact but also like a lot of strategy and a lot of planning it's the difference
00:50:47.300
between warfare like you know in the interesting way boys like to read about basketball is war in
00:50:52.960
the sense like your two tribes from new guinea who are like you send your five big men we send our
00:50:58.360
big men and they like just fight and then one of them wins no that's not that exciting you're tall
00:51:02.300
doesn't mean you win it does it's not it's kind of no it's not true okay name another short
00:51:08.400
basketball player steve nash wasn't that steph curry is not tall i'm taller than steph curry yeah
00:51:14.740
steve nash was like six six foot yeah i i rajon rondo kyrie irving okay that's on the program he's
00:51:21.300
like actually six probably i'm probably taller than michael jordan i don't think isn't he six six
00:51:26.860
he's like six six i think he's like a round program he's like a rounded up now he's like six
00:51:31.000
three yeah six six officially but i guess a rounded up six lebron is six nine like yeah you don't need
00:51:37.380
definitely you don't need to be seven foot tall but the number of you know mugsy bogses in the world
00:51:42.360
jalen brunson went to stevenson high school they might have even just kept his career going so he
00:51:46.280
could be in space jam i mean it's definitely changed in the recent years but i will say this
00:51:50.480
is that and this is really important another important point i like basketball because if you watch
00:51:55.980
entire seasons it's right in between football the one thing i hate about football i hate is it's
00:52:02.240
like one shot like it's like one uh loss elimination during the playoffs in most cases and you have such
00:52:09.280
few games that it's you're not actually it's kind of like a it's a little bit more of a russian roulette
00:52:14.780
season that's exactly what's so beautiful about it you never want to miss an nfl game or a college
00:52:19.300
game every game has high stakes baseball's annoying because basketball they literally have to pass
00:52:24.260
rules to stop teams from just sitting their players because they the regular season matters
00:52:29.520
so little nba i think is awful unless it's the playoffs but i think college basketball is
00:52:35.080
legitimately a beautiful sport college in the month of march college basketball now is all messed up
00:52:40.320
because we have you know the transfer portal and you get drafted after one season no one's at their
00:52:45.580
school for more than a year so it's lame that's lame what you think that if you go to a school and a
00:52:53.460
coach leaves it should just be a death sentence well i just think it should be i think oh sorry
00:52:57.400
you're stuck yet i think it's lame that we have this fiction that these people represent their schools
00:53:01.900
as student athletes when they're just mercenaries who show up for one year the sec player of the
00:53:07.100
year is a guy by the name of dalton connect he was an average player at university northern
00:53:10.960
colorado average and all of a sudden he popped up to like six foot six worked his tail off
00:53:15.800
transfers to tennessee sec player has a chance to go to the nba if he's at northern colorado
00:53:20.120
the other guy the guy that worked played for oakland he's at hillsdale d2 transfers to oakland
00:53:25.840
crushes like 18 threes against kentucky okay i think the transfer portal is great for kids that
00:53:31.080
want to be do you think it's going to be great if we eventually have this one you know now we can
00:53:34.640
pay players where we have a guy he starts d2 then he goes to a lower d1 and then someone offers him
00:53:39.780
300k to play for us next year at in let's say alabama goes to alabama then he does even better
00:53:46.500
and he stays for a senior someone pays him a million dollars to play at duke and he's a
00:53:51.260
different school every single year that's silly why is that hold on why are we having taxpayer
00:53:56.340
funded institutions let's look at what the old the old model was even worse you know what it was
00:54:01.100
the best players left after one year and john calipari would just recruit the best guys and
00:54:06.280
they'd leave rinse and repeat now you have to like build a roster you have transfers that can come in
00:54:11.120
as a junior it's much more into player development i would make an argument that the portal is better
00:54:15.980
for basketball than football football i agree football it's a disaster it's like a mess right
00:54:20.460
now football is outrage i think basketball is actually i think you're just more upset about
00:54:24.380
football because you're a bigger football fan so you realize you realize cosmically how stupid this
00:54:30.300
is if well you know if it results in oregon winning a national title it's a great thing if not burn it
00:54:36.640
down go big red someone says i'm a monster truck kind of guy and they're kind of right monster trucks
00:54:42.120
are cool this is a crazy story out of the netherlands a this is from the new york post a
00:54:48.580
physically healthy 28 year old dutch woman has decided to legally end her life has she done it yet
00:54:55.740
not yet i believe well if she's listening i i what what don't do this she's struggles with crippling
00:55:02.600
depression autism and borderline personality disorder she says she lives she says she's in love with her
00:55:09.600
boyfriend and her two cats 40 year old boyfriend 40 year old boyfriend two cats i have a real
00:55:14.820
question has someone checked her vitamin d level i mean netherlands doesn't get a lot of sun and low
00:55:17.920
vitamin d levels leads to higher depression i mean has someone like scanned her brain to see that if
00:55:22.380
she had a traumatic brain injury she says doctors told her quote there's nothing more we can do for
00:55:26.900
you it's never gonna get that is such bs first of all like conventional doctors sometimes aren't the
00:55:33.420
solution like there's there's 500 different ways by the way i'm not a huge fan of it but there's
00:55:37.940
there's amazing data to show that ketamine can really help depression a lot of people like
00:55:42.360
ketamine treatment that can be done intravenously i hate this attitude just give up at age 28
00:55:46.920
because you're depressed what i really wonder is can you imagine how much of a drag this woman must be
00:55:52.960
no no but let's talk about you know i can just say the doctor is just like look woman you're still
00:55:57.180
complaining it's probably never going to get any better and now they have now they have this legal out
00:56:01.800
where they can just say have you considered the suicide pod that was my point which is it's the
00:56:07.080
psychiatrist that should be put in like who is this person that just gives up on their patient
00:56:11.820
why don't you just kill yourself like you're annoying me this is genuine to flip to being
00:56:16.600
entirely serious this is why i think euthanasia has a huge problem with it we are normalized that's
00:56:21.700
not how you spell it guys can we fix that no it is because it's young people oh yeah it's also a
00:56:27.620
mega death it's a play out words uh and anyway it's uh oh man you lost my train of thought no we're
00:56:34.960
creating uh death as a valuable treatment for people they're doing this in canada we're doing
00:56:39.440
this where okay we've gone from you are a sick person that we desire to help to sort of you're a
00:56:45.560
you know it's like a maintenance ticket we've received like make the problem go away and then
00:56:50.260
you can do that by curing them or just you know shuffle them into the so i don't know what i hate more
00:56:54.080
the fact that she's doing this or the warm media reaction to it i mean if you read these headlines
00:57:00.040
news 18 28 year old dutch woman to legally end her life in may this is her story so wait a second
00:57:06.360
in may why are you waiting like i mean you want like a whole media cycle before you do this this is
00:57:11.900
so perverse this is so twisted so many instagram followers for this but it's just and by the way
00:57:17.500
the netherlands just legalized euthanasia in 2001 i think they were the first one this is all dr
00:57:21.980
kevorkian stuff and for a doctor to say there's nothing i could do for you resign have you tried
00:57:26.760
every treatment under the sun or have you just tried like ssris and benzodiazepines and prozac
00:57:31.100
or zoloft and by the way jack we know this right if you have meaningful relationships regular diet and
00:57:36.760
exercise improvements increase your vitamin d levels in fact that stuff has been proven to be
00:57:41.560
more effective than antidepressants yet this doctor is just giving up on her yep charlie you uh we you
00:57:47.060
and i were chatting about this the other day charlie's big on the vitamin d stuff i went for
00:57:51.100
um a vitamin d iv just last week and you know found a place that was right near us i pulled up
00:57:57.560
pulled up the price i was like oh that's actually a lot better than it see this this really got big
00:58:01.840
during covid and the price was pretty high and a lot of it's become more normalized a lot of it comes
00:58:08.400
down um i don't drink there's a lot of people who do these for hangovers and different things like
00:58:12.600
that but it's just so easy and this is not something that any doctor is ever going to suggest
00:58:20.500
you go for ever recommend to say go exercise no go spend more time outside go take some nutrition
00:58:27.180
go take your vitamins you'll never hear that why because now part of it is because they get paid more
00:58:33.360
if that based on the amount of prescriptions they write but the other part of is that and and charlie
00:58:38.560
you know about this as well that they're not trained to do anything else they're only trained
00:58:43.920
a certain way in the medical schools uh to teach to the medicine yes i mean and they go straight to
00:58:51.080
the literature and they say the literature shows ssris benzos and if that doesn't work with a little
00:58:56.360
bit of maybe therapy why don't you just kill yourself how to fetus this is so twisted it is it's really in
00:59:02.220
every single warning sign of how the slippery slope could happen if you do this has all come true
00:59:07.080
so it starts off with this will only be for old people who are terminally ill yes and then it
00:59:12.700
becomes young warned against who are ill and then it says oh well some people are just suffering
00:59:18.040
mentally a lot and then eventually you start getting into do we really need to ask their
00:59:23.160
permission for it every single horror case you can heard of you've heard of has already happened
00:59:27.160
in the loans we've had cases where they've done it to kids we've had cases where they've done it
00:59:32.240
without actually asking their permission including ones where they just think you know the patient
00:59:36.380
we really think the patient would have wanted this but it would have really troubled them to ask
00:59:41.040
you take people who already have a god complex which is medical professionals and you've literally
00:59:47.300
said well you know what md stands for yeah minor deity yeah yeah you know you know what the joke
00:59:53.000
they say is uh the difference between uh surgeons and uh and god the surgeons charge god doesn't go
01:00:00.040
around thinking he's a surgeon that's that's exactly right uh well there's a bigger play here too which
01:00:05.800
is again we saw all the documentation when agenda 21 came out many many years ago about lowering
01:00:13.340
populations uh we see what's happening in europe or europe european populations have significantly
01:00:18.880
declined and you just have to expect that like euthanasia has always been this like dream of
01:00:25.740
the left and those that want to limit population growth it's remarkable they would and if they'll
01:00:31.020
do that to their own population in the netherlands guess what they'll do to you but like who are these
01:00:36.040
people that all of a sudden so that you read the article she says i want to die without any music
01:00:40.620
sitting on my couch who are the people that just show up hey we're here cats you know we're here from
01:00:46.300
the euthanasia uh department for the you know government of netherlands how are you today like what sort of
01:00:52.660
greeting do you give when you're like hey um oh yes we're about to murder you how's it going get in
01:00:58.980
the pod please i mean or like let's take your blood pressure like why would you have to take your blood
01:01:03.200
pressure about to kill them like what what what is like what what do you do why did they sterilize the
01:01:08.240
needles yeah i mean like exactly what how sick you must be yes like what by the way you this would
01:01:16.220
torment you i would think if you're like a professional euthanasia person and you go to people's homes
01:01:21.420
you just murder them for a living oh yeah today i did five you know uh heart-stopping ivs it was a great
01:01:29.720
day at work honey it's horrible you know what i think about like if you if you showed up in a costume
01:01:34.240
or something and you're like you're pretending to be something else oh i'm here just to uh here to check
01:01:39.640
the meter and you you know you go in you go it's aha i just tricked you and then popped in with the
01:01:45.720
syringe or something you're like oh yes it was me today's the day because that way that way it's
01:01:50.800
like you're not doing it yourself um that way it gives people like a way out and they could say oh
01:01:55.260
well you know i'm not i'm not doing it because i don't know what they um this this is insane like
01:02:00.020
it's so insane to even that we even have conversations like it sounds like a saturday night live sketch
01:02:05.040
or like a really weird this is crazy well there's a former a former dutch prime minister uh
01:02:11.320
dries van i can't pronounce this whatever it all sounds like you're vomiting uh so this dutch prime
01:02:17.280
minister and his wife uh just a month ago early two months ago early february uh they did euthanasia
01:02:24.560
together are you they just timed it they're like oh let's just die together and then they just
01:02:29.500
charlie's bringing up something their pill and died what is this cult of death charlie brought up
01:02:33.740
something i mean i've i've been through you know putting a dog down which is an awful experience it
01:02:40.340
is horrible yes it is like i don't wish that upon anybody it sticks with you yes like i would rather
01:02:47.260
my dog just die naturally 100 without me being there that was like one of the worst things ever
01:02:53.120
but people they say like oh no it's so much better for your dog today it sticks with you it doesn't
01:02:59.900
uplift you it makes you feel awful i agree people thought i people told that it's swan like this
01:03:05.120
beautiful experience i said you're a sick human being if you thought it's beautiful to kill your
01:03:09.400
dog it is horrible and they do that they come in and they sit next to you and you watch your dog die
01:03:14.760
and you'll never forget it and i just can't imagine like you said i can't imagine doing that with
01:03:20.100
another human being that you know i think we should for a living but first of all we should hope that
01:03:25.200
this girl changes her mind okay you don't have to go through with it young lady just because there's
01:03:29.180
all these articles you can change your mind okay number two shame on the netherlands for allowing
01:03:34.120
this like i don't want to hear that modernity is this like wonderful thing if we're allowing like
01:03:38.720
widespread euthanasia of otherwise healthy 28 year olds she doesn't have a tumor and you know what an
01:03:46.820
insult to the people that are fighting like stage four cancer right now like right now there are millions
01:03:52.620
of people on the planet that have like really bad diagnoses that have to fight with pain and she's
01:03:57.720
like i have depression i'm just going to murder myself and why do you have to have the clinic do
01:04:01.580
it and i just think of how this empowers so many bad people because think about toxic families where
01:04:06.560
you'll have people pressuring someone to off themselves because they want their money or they
01:04:11.720
just want them out of the way and there's just there's so many ways you can just have bad people
01:04:16.440
exploit this to get rid of people that they don't care for and doctors of course to exercise
01:04:22.240
whatever god complex they want and it's very feels just feels very twisted how would you know
01:04:30.240
you know in some in some situations i mean in this case it doesn't even seem to be like illegal
01:04:35.160
you know they don't as long as it just seems to be that the person has to consent to it and if
01:04:40.600
they're consenting to it for the wrong reasons i don't know that anyone can decide that well maybe
01:04:44.920
they let doctors do it because they apparently just think these doctors are gods but uh just
01:04:52.120
to reminder national suicide prevention hotline is 1-800-273-8255 or go to suicidepreventionlifeline.org
01:04:59.220
um if uh if you need help so reach out is there a final topic our final topic is you think you think
01:05:07.400
we were going to make just one ai song about about nebraska charlie we have a very special song that
01:05:14.120
we want to play uh let's play let's play song 101 we'll gather around though there's a force to be heard
01:05:25.160
charlie kirk's his name spread yes you had to do it in country
01:05:30.360
yeah hilariously i i could see us playing this in like the house music before anthems
01:05:37.960
we will we will i'm sending it to lauren already
01:05:41.560
i'm already sending it to lauren you gotta send it to lauren we'll practice it next week
01:05:46.120
next america fest i want live bands playing it does make you wonder how many of the songs the
01:06:03.960
last 10 years were written using some formula because this is like this sounds like the noise
01:06:09.720
that is right i mean it's like indecipherable with courage i mean most artists don't even write
01:06:19.880
their own music video and i said oh i hired some man no no way no let's turn the time it's almost done
01:06:32.360
by the way when i did this i think literally all i wrote was a country song about charlie
01:06:44.600
coach and turning point that's it that's the all i wrote i didn't so here's what's amazing too about
01:06:49.800
it it it generates the lyrics and i didn't write anything about like uh youth organization or freedom
01:06:58.760
or conservatism or any of that stuff it it went in all all by itself and i guess scoured the
01:07:07.000
interwebs it's so creepy right you think it's scoured the interwebs to find everything about charlie
01:07:12.520
kirk and put this all together with backing vocals and a drum track and all of it in a style that i asked
01:07:18.920
for and it did this in less than two minutes this is the first thing that i've seen with let's let
01:07:24.040
let me just let me say this this is the first time i've seen ai and been like okay this is
01:07:29.080
indistinguishable from magic what if it would have grabbed like the entire media matters rss feed
01:07:37.240
i'm surprised it did it what if we were to use ai to fuel a drive towards early vote oh wait oh wait
01:08:05.960
rocking revolution breaking down the walls together
01:08:12.360
this makes me feel like i'm gonna do it so but my daughters watch
01:08:23.480
that has like filled in like songs like this now i'm realizing every song that they have like in
01:08:29.800
these stupid like cartoons is all ai generated that's all they do pretty much
01:08:33.720
this is like that that barney song that's popular yeah you can you can so you guys know you can go in
01:08:42.680
and add your own lyrics you can generate lyrics or you can actually have it sing your you know your
01:08:48.840
lyrics however you want i just want to be clear just in case anyone couldn't tell that was a song
01:08:53.480
about our friend tyler here the the opening verse was tyler boyer's the hero in our town
01:08:58.840
and then it ends tyler's voice guides us our spirits never compromised
01:09:05.880
all right guys till next week wait we're not gonna play black pill blake oh we gotta play oh no we
01:09:09.800
gotta play black pill blake all right all right get out of it because i made a song all for my best
01:09:27.720
bobs on the track i see through the lies ain't no sugar coat that born in the hood
01:09:36.440
i can't see less than two minutes two minutes that's the moves i make they say life's a game
01:09:45.240
well i'm playing the way you gotta get to the forest
01:09:52.040
you're good here we go i'm the force of the streets
01:09:59.560
you're gonna be you're gonna be at the turning point gym
01:10:16.360
we could probably make this go really high up on the chart my words cut deep like a blade they're
01:10:21.960
violence how funny would that be if we just hey i generated something every week and got it to be
01:10:27.320
number one destroyed the charts but that's kind of what the the thought crime here i guess is
01:10:33.640
this ai music this is going to be like the great replacement of innovation but for like the knowledge
01:10:39.160
economy music musicians are screwed voice actors are screwed yep lawyers are screwed that's what
01:10:45.800
that's what i'm saying we could just break the the break the rankings every week and did we just
01:10:51.000
do an ai generated that we just forced the only people who are protected are right-wing pundits
01:10:55.800
because ai is not allowed to i know and we're it's against their ethics to say the things that we
01:11:01.160
say i have the greatest job protection of any person out there rachel maddow especially this
01:11:08.280
week charlie that's right exactly all right guys god bless see you in omaha on tuesday
01:11:15.320
and until next week keep committing thought crimes
