Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 49 — Taxing Tips？ SPLC Implodes？ Europe Lurching Right？

00:00:00.400 From the age of big brother.

00:00:03.140 If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:05.520 DNSSEC specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:09.440 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:21.460 Welcome, welcome.

00:00:22.880 Here we are, Detroit, Michigan, for once of our very rare, very rare in-person Thought Crime episodes.

00:00:33.000 It is Thought Crime Thursday.

00:00:34.920 Jack Posobiec, I'm here.

00:00:36.480 Charlie Kirk is currently wrapping up a few assignments for the People's Convention around the building.

00:00:42.280 Though we are on site, and his arrival is imminent.

00:00:46.540 Joining me are Blake Neff.

00:00:48.320 Howdy, Jack.

00:00:49.100 And Tyler Boyer.

00:00:50.400 Poso, what's up?

00:00:51.240 Tyler, so maybe you can't explain.

00:00:52.800 Why are we in Detroit?

00:00:55.500 Because Detroit's arguably one of the most important places that we need to win.

00:01:01.040 Explain.

00:01:02.000 Well, I mean, we've gone through this so much on Charlie's show and on your show and everything else.

00:01:07.940 There's six states that we've known coming into this election that will ultimately decide who becomes president.

00:01:15.400 Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada.

00:01:19.140 Statistically, Arizona, Wisconsin, we've landed on statistically are the most important.

00:01:28.340 Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan are all right there.

00:01:32.200 Michigan has been elusive for conservatives because it has some of the worst election laws in the country.

00:01:37.060 However, recent polling has shown that people are pretty pissed off here.

00:01:41.820 And for that reason, and we can see the slide that's happening with the Democrat Party, especially the African-American community and the black community, this is an important place.

00:01:51.600 And so the Republican Party has really done not enough, not nearly enough in Michigan.

00:01:55.620 So we looked at this and said, Georgia is looking like it's shaping up in our column.

00:02:00.900 The the RNC convention is going to be in in Wisconsin.

00:02:05.660 Obviously, we're doing everything that we're doing in Arizona.

00:02:07.960 So what's left?

00:02:09.280 Arizona saw that poll yesterday, by the way.

00:02:13.400 AARP.

00:02:13.960 How much stock do you give that 10 points up for Trump in Arizona?

00:02:16.960 Well, look, you know, they were saying the same thing about Carrie Lake.

00:02:20.460 So we know this is that the election manipulation schemes that the Democrats run, I believe and I think a lot of people have landed on you're right in that seven, eight percent that they have the ability.

00:02:32.640 So if a 10 point poll means you're really up if they're manipulating in full force, you're up maybe two points.

00:02:39.140 That's not enough to feel comfortable winning.

00:02:41.480 That's in the margin of error.

00:02:42.440 Right.

00:02:42.740 So this is where we have to look at.

00:02:44.920 I'm not comfortable until we get to like polls that are like 12, 13, 14 points where I know when we know Democrats are fighting as hard as they are funding tens of millions of dollars in that state.

00:02:57.280 Blake, what do you have here?

00:02:58.160 I'm not I'm not.

00:02:59.240 I'll show it to you.

00:02:59.720 It's like I'm not comfortable until that kind of like dorky guy in MSNBC who does their election map.

00:03:04.460 Oh, until we get reports that he's like been seen throwing himself out of a window.

00:03:09.840 He looks like he belongs in a McDonald's.

00:03:11.640 I think it could be.

00:03:13.040 Yeah, that's it.

00:03:13.540 That's it.

00:03:13.840 The map I have here is.

00:03:16.000 Yes, it's Steve Pernacki.

00:03:16.980 Yeah, I was thinking about why we're in Detroit specifically.

00:03:19.480 And what I do like to point out to people is there is this sort of narrative with 2020 that we lost because like they had a ton of ballots come out in these big cities.

00:03:28.800 But actually, it wasn't like that in Michigan or even in Pennsylvania.

00:03:33.440 If you look at the county by county results and how they changed from 2016 to 2020, Wayne County, which is where Detroit is, it was one point more Democrat than 2016, which was basically nothing compared to, you know, the overall shifts.

00:03:47.400 All the other counties in Michigan, Macomb County, Oakland County, Livingston County, Washtenaw County, which is where Ann Arbor is, they all swerved a lot more.

00:03:56.960 And so you could kind of see in Wayne County in Philadelphia where you have the building blocks of what we're hopefully seeing now, which is where you have non-white voters, younger voters, sort of marginal voters, low propensity voters being much more open to voting for Trump than they've ever been in the past.

00:04:16.420 And for Republicans generally, well, and that's but that's the game plan.

00:04:20.140 So that's how the the left works. Right. So the left operates looking at where their targets are.

00:04:27.640 So, you know, they they've already maxed out the amount of.

00:04:33.140 Come on, you're taking over for me. Save him. Yeah, we're just going to change the camp.

00:04:37.660 We're going to throw them out. I'm going to finish this thought. I'm actually going to Charlie fight him for it, is that you have.

00:04:43.960 The Democrats have tapped themselves out in most of these deep blue areas, but you have these other deep blue areas in places like Grand Rapids, for example, and that's where they haven't excavated enough votes.

00:04:56.140 And so that's where you see a lot of places outside of Wayne County.

00:04:59.180 And this is the same goes for all the other states. Right.

00:05:01.620 Which is that they're going they're finding the deep blue pockets, whether it's the colleges and universities, whether it's extrapolating out as many of those votes as they can from the senior communities.

00:05:11.080 They're doing that all across the rest of the state.

00:05:14.900 And that's why you saw that shift really outside.

00:05:18.240 Nothing. There was really no change in Wayne. Right.

00:05:20.000 Because they already had taken they moved out beyond Wayne in 2020 and they had to do that and they will continue to do that.

00:05:28.260 Now they're in the position where they're like, oh, now we've got to replicate what we did moving outside of Wayne in 2020.

00:05:32.740 And with that, we welcome in Charlie. Well, it's what we'll do is while you guys are switching out, I think we have a we have the promos you can run 112, 113.

00:05:42.900 So let's run those promos real quick. And Charlie's going to get situated.

00:06:52.520 All right. Are we live now?

00:06:57.520 Yes, we are.

00:06:58.080 Hello, everyone. How are we doing?

00:06:59.280 Live and in person.

00:07:00.540 We are here. Sorry I'm late. I got caught up at the Blexit thing. It's amazing. It's like 800 people.

00:07:05.260 You had to make a check set from Blexit?

00:07:08.500 Yeah, that's exactly right. I had to do a CK exit from Blexit.

00:07:12.460 We're just going to keep going past that one. We're not going to.

00:07:14.800 Oh, is that right?

00:07:15.220 We don't need to acknowledge that.

00:07:16.260 You know we're almost in Canada.

00:07:17.840 I've been looking at Canada all day. I keep catching glimpses.

00:07:20.540 I think the whole thing is like a big sigh up, which is they're flying that Canadian flag.

00:07:25.180 It's like, are they proud to be Canadian?

00:07:26.520 It's a giant pride flag.

00:07:27.180 Are you referring to the giant pride flag that we saw in the convention center?

00:07:29.140 No, exactly. That's why the Canadian flag outside of the convention center.

00:07:32.460 So you know what's really weird actually being in Detroit is that's actually south.

00:07:36.300 So you're in Detroit and you're going south into Canada.

00:07:38.980 I have a very good sense of direction. Detroit challenges that.

00:07:43.400 Detroit messes you up so bad.

00:07:44.620 Because you're kind of like sloped up against – that's the Detroit River, right?

00:07:48.900 Is that what it's called?

00:07:49.580 Yes, the Detroit River.

00:07:50.800 And it's international boundary waters or something.

00:07:52.840 That's technically like half of it's in America, half of it's not.

00:07:56.080 So anyway, honored to be here, guys.

00:07:58.020 What's on the docket tonight?

00:07:59.920 Well, we were just – we were kind of going through and we're talking about why – and Tyler was giving us the rundown – why Detroit?

00:08:08.260 It's like, Tyler, what are we doing in Detroit?

00:08:10.320 So he was giving us the rundown from that perspective of this is a Rust Belt swing state.

00:08:15.380 It's a state that if we can pick up Michigan, that requires the Democrats to have to put funding all over the place in the areas that they wish they wouldn't have to.

00:08:25.400 And it currently looks like – although day-to-day there might be some shakeups, it does look like it might be the best Rust Belt pickup for us.

00:08:34.100 I'm not sure about that.

00:08:35.920 I think Pennsylvania right now is.

00:08:37.480 But, I mean, Jack, you could speak about that probably better than I, being a Pennsylvanian.

00:08:41.040 See, the reason I always discount Pennsylvania is because I'm so biased on it.

00:08:45.600 So my bias is that we're not –

00:08:46.500 You're blackpilled on it, yeah.

00:08:47.820 Well, it's not that I'm blackpilled.

00:08:48.980 It's that I won't allow myself to have any hope for it.

00:08:52.100 It's like me with Arizona, meaning like I won't – yeah, I won't accept it.

00:08:55.980 I won't receive it.

00:08:56.440 I won't receive it.

00:08:57.700 I totally –

00:08:58.320 And by the same time, there's a poll that says Trump's up eight.

00:09:00.280 I said no, no.

00:09:01.120 He's not up eight.

00:09:01.900 That's me in Pennsylvania.

00:09:02.760 Yeah, so I totally get it.

00:09:03.940 I'm actually more bullish on Pennsylvania.

00:09:05.760 And I'll be there every single day of the election.

00:09:07.720 What I will – yeah, I love that.

00:09:09.640 What I will say about the blue wall strategy is you need to compete in all three.

00:09:13.800 You have to make all three close or else you allow Joe Biden to have way too much –

00:09:18.980 to allow you know which one that you like the best, you have to keep the other campaign guessing.

00:09:23.520 And you don't know, actually.

00:09:25.160 For example, micro-issues could end up making Michigan the best of the three states

00:09:29.560 because of the Muslim-Dearborn thing. 0.55

00:09:30.880 And Cornell West having the – Abdullah, is that her name?

00:09:34.360 Abdullah.

00:09:34.820 And then Jill Stein was going to appoint the Dearborn-Michigan mayor as her vice president. 0.98

00:09:40.280 And RFK.

00:09:40.980 We don't know what RFK ends up doing in Michigan.

00:09:43.200 We have no idea. 0.72

00:09:44.220 So Michigan's a goofy state as it is. 0.99

00:09:45.600 It's very corrupt. 0.95

00:09:46.660 And so we don't exactly know what that's going to look like.

00:09:49.820 Pennsylvania, structurally, from a voter registration standpoint, looks at it the best out of the three.

00:09:54.460 However, I will say, though, out of the three, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania,

00:09:58.200 Wisconsin, the polling is the worst or the toughest, but it is the hardest to cheat of the three.

00:10:04.260 It has 118 counties, and Trump overperforms Wisconsin polling the most of any polling.

00:10:09.680 With Wisconsin, each of them, like you say, has a different thing.

00:10:12.760 I'd say with Pennsylvania, what you have is – like rural Pennsylvania, it's like the reddest area of any of these states. 0.99

00:10:19.300 It's Alabama.

00:10:20.060 Yeah, you have Pennsylvania.

00:10:20.900 We call it Pennsylvania, as they call it.

00:10:22.500 Yeah, for sure.

00:10:23.240 Michigan, you have those factors you just brought up.

00:10:25.500 With Wisconsin, you have – it's hard to poll.

00:10:27.860 It's the most rural of those states.

00:10:30.220 It has the most, like, rural white voters, not college educated.

00:10:34.320 It has the most midtowns, too, though, meaning, like, they're middle-sized towns.

00:10:36.440 Yeah, and relatively rural.

00:10:38.960 I think it has the lowest college graduation rate of those three states, so you have more non-college voters, which we've done pretty well with. 0.99

00:10:47.280 And as you say, we've just – we've overperformed in it multiple times, and it's the only one that's not Democrat-dominated right now.

00:10:53.860 And to the RNC's great credit, they're doing the convention exactly where they should be doing it, in Milwaukee.

00:10:58.600 And interestingly, my theory is the Democrats are doing their convention in Chicago because they wish they could have done it in Milwaukee and it has overflow media effect.

00:11:07.140 Very –

00:11:07.620 Because meaning, like, they believe that the Midwest is so important.

00:11:10.600 They said, I'll just put it in Chicago because you get – and they're kind of right. 1.00

00:11:13.380 But, I mean, if I was the Democrats –

00:11:14.260 It's so weird.

00:11:14.780 They pick –

00:11:15.080 They always try to think of a state.

00:11:16.460 You think they pick Phoenix or something.

00:11:16.960 Super weird.

00:11:17.600 I think there's a J.D. Pritzker element to this, too, where – or why didn't they do it in Detroit?

00:11:21.900 Or why didn't they –

00:11:22.340 Detroit?

00:11:22.640 Or try to be aggressive and put it in Phoenix and be like –

00:11:25.180 If they would have done it in Phoenix, that would have – I mean, weather is a little bit prohibitive.

00:11:29.360 Yeah, true, true.

00:11:30.280 In Phoenix, I mean, but that would have been really ballsy.

00:11:32.840 But as far as – I just have to give the team credit because I pushed the team really hard.

00:11:36.660 I kind of blew up the plan.

00:11:39.100 The plan was to do this in Palm Beach yet.

00:11:40.740 So we actually have a down payment in Palm Beach that we are parlaying with the Believer Summit coming up in July.

00:11:46.560 So we have a whole other event coming up.

00:11:48.000 I never – yeah, I've been meaning to get this story out of you because it's usually the summer event is down in Florida.

00:11:53.720 Because, I mean, look, we had a great event last summer.

00:11:55.600 But let's be honest.

00:11:56.120 We outgrew that space.

00:11:57.560 A little bit.

00:11:58.100 Just a little bit.

00:11:58.620 Let's just say we outgrew that space.

00:12:00.120 And it's not a –

00:12:01.020 The one metal detector they let us have.

00:12:02.220 Don't even get this.

00:12:02.720 With a TSA guy that was –

00:12:03.720 Wait, I remember.

00:12:04.240 Wait, Charlie.

00:12:04.920 Examining your phone.

00:12:05.720 So this was this day when the Secret Service gave us, what, three magnetometers?

00:12:12.420 Not even, man.

00:12:13.080 Right.

00:12:13.520 Andrew's here.

00:12:14.060 Andrew, how many was it?

00:12:14.940 It was two.

00:12:15.200 Was it two magnetometers at Atcon in Palm Beach last year?

00:12:20.600 Two or three.

00:12:21.820 So there's like five –

00:12:22.280 That was a human rights issue.

00:12:23.380 It was a human rights violation.

00:12:24.720 It was.

00:12:25.360 People are out there.

00:12:26.140 Charlie goes out dressed basically as he's dressed now in full suit, sweating profusely, handing water bottles out.

00:12:33.100 And shook every single hand.

00:12:36.120 I had moved to Phoenix about two months before that event.

00:12:39.240 Oh, yeah.

00:12:39.520 I was mad.

00:12:40.220 I moved to Phoenix two months before that event.

00:12:42.120 And then we come out to Palm Beach for that.

00:12:42.960 So you were a newbie.

00:12:44.000 I was a newbie to Phoenix.

00:12:45.100 I was walking around.

00:12:45.740 I was getting used to the Phoenix seat.

00:12:46.880 I come out to Palm Beach and I had to walk like a mile from the air – from where we were at the airport or whatever to the hotel.

00:12:52.160 And I'm just like, this is a million times worse than –

00:12:56.060 Oh, I agree.

00:12:56.800 And by the way, they were in a parking garage.

00:12:58.620 The Secret Service was awful.

00:13:00.360 We know about that.

00:13:01.920 And so – anyway, so we were supposed to do it in Palm Beach.

00:13:04.440 We had this down payment because typically when you –

00:13:06.180 So you literally went as far away from the heat as you could.

00:13:08.860 Oh, yeah.

00:13:09.520 I mean, but just to be clear, we wanted to go to Atlanta.

00:13:13.200 So the original plan was –

00:13:14.300 Okay.

00:13:14.520 So the original plan was – this all happened in August, September of last year.

00:13:18.740 Yeah.

00:13:19.080 Because we were looking at the schedule.

00:13:20.340 We said, Palm Beach, like that's just going to be underwhelming.

00:13:22.660 Like who's going to want to come to that?

00:13:24.100 Let's go to where it really matters, where we can draw a local audience, local media attention.

00:13:27.880 Because we saw the map kind of come together.

00:13:32.040 So we said, okay, let's first Atlanta because Georgia, obviously a flip.

00:13:34.760 Sure.

00:13:35.280 No availability.

00:13:36.280 In fact, they said you have to book things three to four years out.

00:13:38.440 Wow.

00:13:38.880 I said, okay, let's go to Pennsylvania.

00:13:40.420 Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, no availability.

00:13:42.620 And so how about North Carolina because it's kind of a swing state.

00:13:45.240 And they said, Charlotte, no availability.

00:13:47.080 And so all of a sudden we were like, are we going to find a space?

00:13:50.500 Because that was a whole other thing.

00:13:51.540 And so just by an act of God, we said, what about Detroit?

00:13:54.780 So Lauren and the events team, the best events team in the country.

00:13:57.240 I mean, they're unbelievable.

00:13:58.400 And they went on a crazy – they spent like three full days calling every major convention center in what the states, the parameters.

00:14:03.600 From Des Moines to Columbus, Ohio to Cleveland to Detroit to Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo.

00:14:07.740 And the only space that had an opening of all of them in the parameters we said because we wanted to do it before the RNC, we wanted to do it in June, was Detroit.

00:14:15.960 And we said, are we crazy enough to do an event in Detroit?

00:14:17.820 We have like no full-time staff in Michigan.

00:14:20.200 It's Detroit, right?

00:14:21.960 It's like Democrat stronghold.

00:14:23.500 And I was like, oh, yeah, Detroit's amazing.

00:14:25.680 It worked out perfectly.

00:14:26.580 Timing worked out, unfortunately.

00:14:28.440 Glory be to God.

00:14:29.100 I want to just – and this was before October 7th.

00:14:30.820 So this was before – this was before the Israel thing, which has materialized in the unaffiliated Muslim vote here in Michigan, which might – it puts even more in play for Trump, right?

00:14:40.720 The tragedy of October 7th, which has been a political nightmare for Democrats, before the uncommitted type movement. 0.95

00:14:45.080 And so as the months have gone by, the more promising Michigan polls were like, yo, we're hosting like it in the middle of the battleground state in like the central nervous system of the Democrat Party.

00:14:56.680 And we, by the way, we have confirmation.

00:14:58.820 Three things have happened in this convention center.

00:15:00.860 Do you know what they are?

00:15:02.080 This is where they counted ballots in 2020.

00:15:04.420 Wait, wait, wait.

00:15:04.860 Wait, wasn't Detroit where they were covering up the windows and – we're in the building?

00:15:10.440 Yes.

00:15:10.780 We're in the building where – we're on Rumble, right?

00:15:13.140 We're on Rumble.

00:15:13.660 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:15:13.820 Where the steal took place.

00:15:16.940 This is the scene of the crime, man.

00:15:17.980 We're at the scene of the crime.

00:15:19.780 Charlie Kirk.

00:15:20.700 Look up Huntington Convention Center 2020 election.

00:15:22.940 This is literally where all the press was.

00:15:24.680 This is where they were like not allowing people in.

00:15:26.700 This is it.

00:15:27.780 Yeah, because in – I know in Philadelphia –

00:15:29.760 It's right there.

00:15:30.360 It was – yeah, right there, 2020.

00:15:32.260 Wow.

00:15:32.500 Unbelievable.

00:15:33.020 So that's number one.

00:15:33.580 Number two – and this is even more telling and more powerful.

00:15:36.760 In the last couple of weeks, both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have visited this convention center.

00:15:40.920 They've both made independent visits to Michigan.

00:15:43.200 That tells us their internal polling shows that Michigan's collapsing for them.

00:15:46.800 And so we're right where we need to be.

00:15:49.160 Praise God.

00:15:50.060 The numbers are amazing.

00:15:51.140 And now we have Trump doing his, like, first really big event after the law fair.

00:15:56.140 Yeah, and he did the Arizona one, but this one will be even bigger.

00:15:58.100 This one will be three times the size of it.

00:15:59.160 And so I told the team back in March, I said, if we get 3,000 people, I will be thrilled.

00:16:04.820 Okay, so it wasn't called Huntington Place back then.

00:16:08.260 But it's the same location.

00:16:09.380 It's the same building.

00:16:09.960 Yes, it's the same location.

00:16:11.180 I have to – we have to find these – we have to, like, recreate this photo.

00:16:14.720 We have to, like, recreate this photo.

00:16:15.560 That's such a POSO thing to, like, go and find it.

00:16:18.300 Yeah.

00:16:18.720 And so –

00:16:19.760 I will.

00:16:20.280 So this location is kind of the place to be at.

00:16:22.540 I've got to give the convention center credit.

00:16:23.800 There's been plenty of hurdles and bumps.

00:16:25.500 They could have canceled this event, and they didn't, and they deserve a lot of credit for that.

00:16:28.280 I mean, they still can, but it's happening tomorrow, so I don't think they will.

00:16:31.640 But, yeah, no, we're in the belly of the beast.

00:16:33.700 We said we'd be happy with 3,000 people.

00:16:36.160 We might actually have triple that, right near 10,000.

00:16:38.960 We're, like, scratching the surface on 10,000.

00:16:41.120 Again, the numbers come in by the hour.

00:16:42.900 We're not yet at 10,000.

00:16:44.080 We're almost right there, which is an unbelievable show of force.

00:16:46.920 And –

00:16:47.220 We know some of you guys live in Michigan.

00:16:49.160 Yes.

00:16:49.420 You can still come.

00:16:50.320 Or if you live – Ohio is very close to the driving distance.

00:16:53.140 I know – Charlie, I know people who are driving from Indiana.

00:16:55.600 I know people who are driving from Nebraska to be here.

00:16:58.480 People who are obviously all over Ohio driving to be here.

00:17:02.520 And millions will be watching online.

00:17:04.540 Citizens Free Press.

00:17:05.120 Yeah, and so understand that the naming the People's Convention was done while Rana was still chairman.

00:17:10.860 And so the other thought was, like, hey, we might have to put on our own RNC because the RNC in Milwaukee might be lackluster.

00:17:16.460 Now it actually is ending up being, like, a super compliment where the RNC is in Milwaukee and we're in Detroit.

00:17:21.380 I mean, if you were from a 30,000-foot view, who's doing the summer better from an event standpoint, the Democrats or Trump?

00:17:27.320 Like, we're doing it way better than today.

00:17:28.540 No, it makes sense because –

00:17:29.700 Like, they don't have an equivalent at all anyway.

00:17:31.660 Yeah, because now you've got your balance out.

00:17:34.520 Obviously, we're all targeting the Midwest and we're targeting the Rust Belt.

00:17:37.500 Yes.

00:17:37.720 But we're strategically targeting the Rust Belt, whereas they're in Chicago, which is not an area where they need it at all.

00:17:44.240 There's also, to me, something very funny about it where, obviously, the party convention is your biggest show of the summer for each party.

00:17:52.560 And it's, like, novel idea.

00:17:54.420 Let's do another convention.

00:17:55.940 Why not?

00:17:56.240 People like conventions.

00:17:57.120 Get all the speakers out again.

00:17:58.280 And it's also – we wanted to do the Turning Point way.

00:18:00.800 And the name is aptly put because, I mean, you guys will both be in Milwaukee and we'll get you guys tickets.

00:18:06.160 But it's very hard for the commoner to be able to get tickets to the convention.

00:18:09.460 So the idea was how do we do an event for the everyday person, the citizen, that they otherwise would not be able to have access to.

00:18:18.660 And that's why we call it the People's Convention.

00:18:20.080 And we put together an amazing – and I will give presidency – this is the most President Trump story ever, which I had a scheduling request in and they were busy.

00:18:28.620 I call it President Trump.

00:18:29.800 He confirmed this event within 20 seconds.

00:18:32.080 And, by the way, his birthday is tomorrow.

00:18:33.720 He's like, my birthday weekend?

00:18:35.000 Yeah.

00:18:35.400 Detroit?

00:18:36.660 Hey, hey, tell him I'm doing Charlie's thing at Detroit.

00:18:39.560 It was within 20 seconds to his – his instincts were like, we're going to take Michigan.

00:18:45.120 And, by the way, he said, without them cheating, I win Michigan by 10.

00:18:47.760 But I have to be there, show of force.

00:18:49.860 And he literally – and his team was – called me back and they're like, wait, you're doing an event in downtown Detroit?

00:18:54.020 He's like, yeah, man.

00:18:55.280 They're like, what?

00:18:56.720 You're in downtown Detroit?

00:18:58.680 I just love it.

00:18:59.500 He was in – he went – visited Congress today, you remember, and he met Glenn Youngkin.

00:19:03.480 Oh, did he really?

00:19:03.960 And apparently what he was talking about with Glenn Youngkin was, of course, he's like, you know, we're going to win Virginia and all that.

00:19:08.620 And, you know, it's a long shot.

00:19:10.520 But as we've said before, I love how he basically sees every – why wouldn't I win every state?

00:19:15.620 Yeah.

00:19:16.060 Part of my time when I spend with him is he's talking about New Jersey, New York, Washington, Oregon.

00:19:23.040 And I love that kind of optimism.

00:19:24.960 It's our job to make sure the resources go to the right spot.

00:19:27.860 But him thinking he can win anywhere is why he's Donald Trump.

00:19:30.960 It's why he's who he is.

00:19:31.920 There is a deep connection, though, between President Trump and the state of Michigan because as longtime Trump supporters and followers would know – and I know Charlie knows what's up.

00:19:45.360 But I said, Charlie, where was the final rally held in the 2016 election?

00:19:49.800 And 2020, both in the Grand Rapids.

00:19:50.760 And 2020.

00:19:51.560 I was at the Grand Rapids one.

00:19:53.140 In 16?

00:19:54.020 Yeah.

00:19:54.900 That was the one –

00:19:55.700 It was New Hampshire and then Grand Rapids.

00:19:57.240 Wasn't that the one where he didn't even start until actually it was election day?

00:20:02.760 That was the one.

00:20:03.600 Like it was kind of illegal.

00:20:04.400 If you could get B-roll from that.

00:20:05.740 One second, Blake.

00:20:06.420 That was the one where certain people on the media said he's going to win.

00:20:10.820 Yeah.

00:20:10.960 That was the one where the people that were in the traveling crew – because I was at the New Hampshire one, too.

00:20:16.440 And that's where Bill Belichick endorsed Donald Trump.

00:20:18.600 I remember that one.

00:20:19.000 At the New Hampshire event.

00:20:19.860 Yeah, it was like the last –

00:20:21.000 That was the last one in the Northeast.

00:20:22.560 Then Trump gets on Trump Force One and literally – I think it was Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo.

00:20:26.340 I think it was Grand Rapids.

00:20:27.220 The line was like wrapped around until like literally 1.30 in the morning.

00:20:31.980 And nobody left.

00:20:32.920 Nobody left.

00:20:33.460 Nobody left.

00:20:34.140 Because he was like way beyond the time.

00:20:36.120 So –

00:20:36.440 Five rallies in one day.

00:20:37.300 Trump is somewhat superstitious.

00:20:38.640 I don't know if you know that.

00:20:39.420 He went back and did Grand Rapids again in 2020.

00:20:41.800 Well, that's what I'm saying.

00:20:42.600 As the final rally.

00:20:43.800 That's because –

00:20:44.340 Western Michigan.

00:20:44.740 So for him, when he hears Michigan –

00:20:46.140 Which I think is a strategically bad idea.

00:20:47.800 What I pitched to the Trump campaign, and I literally – it's on my – I have a list of things to go over with them.

00:20:52.440 I pull them aside.

00:20:53.400 I say, guys, you need to allow time zones to work in your favor.

00:20:57.180 Your last rally should be in Vegas.

00:20:59.280 Your second to last should be in Phoenix.

00:21:01.140 And your other – you should move east to west on the night before the election.

00:21:04.740 So you can keep on maximizing rally time.

00:21:07.940 Because as you fly westward, you gain time.

00:21:10.500 Especially in as big of a plane they have.

00:21:12.200 Well, you know what, though –

00:21:12.540 So they should start – hold on.

00:21:13.660 Hear me out.

00:21:14.260 They should start in Florida.

00:21:15.940 Go to Philadelphia.

00:21:17.020 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:17.220 Do a rally in Michigan, then do a rally in Phoenix, and then close the night out in Vegas.

00:21:21.540 Well, the difference is that Vegas and Phoenix didn't used to be quite as important as they are now.

00:21:26.540 No, no.

00:21:26.820 Well, in 2020 – but in 2020, they didn't think they could win Nevada.

00:21:30.080 In 2020, no one was able to swallow the pill.

00:21:33.520 And I know this because I was in the White House when I told Jared about it.

00:21:36.760 That all of a sudden, Georgia and Arizona could be flipped.

00:21:38.920 I remember I was in the hall of the White House on election night, and I saw Jared as we were going to the bathroom.

00:21:43.560 He was in a different room than I was in.

00:21:45.300 I was like, I don't think we're going to win Georgia.

00:21:46.460 He was like, yeah, no, no way.

00:21:48.120 He was like, Georgia?

00:21:49.280 I was like, yeah, look, I'm not an expert, but the New York Times forecast is a 53% chance that Biden's going to win Georgia.

00:21:53.700 Like, I think they've been tipped off.

00:21:56.000 And he's like, I'll get back to you.

00:21:57.980 And I'll never – like, the idea of us losing Georgia was so foreign to the campaign.

00:22:05.480 Well, and this is before the pipe burst.

00:22:08.400 Oh, before Fulton County.

00:22:09.340 And understand, we didn't have much of an operation there.

00:22:11.060 Now we're all in on Georgia.

00:22:12.800 And I remember Tyler, even a week up from the election, he's like, yeah, I know the polls look bad.

00:22:16.220 And Arizona's like, I can't believe the idea that, like, Trump would lose Arizona.

00:22:20.940 And so –

00:22:21.460 It was unthinkable.

00:22:22.420 And then it became first.

00:22:23.740 Now it's been tattooed into my soul to avenge this.

00:22:28.280 I mean, it is like a heat-seeking – it's like it's our Rana times 1,000.

00:22:32.040 Like, it's like heat-seeking missile.

00:22:33.760 I wanted to shout out –

00:22:34.700 I'm sorry, Blake.

00:22:35.400 I just wanted to shout out Lisee Lee in our comments. 0.78

00:22:38.300 We mentioned people could drive here from, you know, Ohio, elsewhere in Michigan, from Nebraska.

00:22:43.640 Lisee Lee, they had a flight issue. 0.91

00:22:45.600 And she says they are driving up from Florida for this event.

00:22:48.860 Tell them that we'll give them free VIP tickets.

00:22:51.500 All righty.

00:22:52.040 We should –

00:22:52.580 Can you communicate with them?

00:22:53.460 I'll see what we can do.

00:22:54.440 It's Lisee Lee if you can find her.

00:22:56.200 Anyway, I drive the events team nuts with my promises.

00:22:58.620 I throw out promises like Frisbees.

00:23:00.000 I start CC-ing people.

00:23:02.180 What's that?

00:23:03.300 Email freedom.

00:23:03.920 All right, yeah.

00:23:04.960 Lisee Lee, email freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:23:08.100 We hawk that email.

00:23:11.680 So – but, yeah, no, praise God.

00:23:13.560 We're right where we need to be.

00:23:15.080 The team has done unbelievable.

00:23:16.600 I just – I want to – again, I feel like I'm bragging on the team.

00:23:19.620 In the last week, we host Trump in Arizona.

00:23:21.560 We do YWLS.

00:23:22.840 We do Blex at CLS.

00:23:24.020 And that's insane.

00:23:24.700 It really is one of the most remarkable political accomplishments of event production in conservative movement history.

00:23:31.000 I heard a lot of the events team didn't even –

00:23:34.040 They went from San Antonio.

00:23:34.960 Yeah, they went straight from San Antonio.

00:23:36.060 They didn't go home.

00:23:36.600 They haven't been home in two weeks.

00:23:38.160 It has been home.

00:23:38.840 Mikey's wife – yeah.

00:23:40.580 She already has VIP tickets.

00:23:43.260 All right.

00:23:43.540 Well, I'll give her a signed copy of my book.

00:23:45.420 She already has VIP tickets.

00:23:49.600 Based.

00:23:50.400 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:23:51.240 Lauren and her layover to Detroit did a layover in Milwaukee and then did a site visit for the RNC because we have this huge presence. 0.92

00:23:59.380 We're doing it at the RNC huge.

00:24:01.100 And then she came over from Milwaukee to Detroit.

00:24:03.640 So – but, yeah, no, the team – literally, Mikey's wife, Elizabeth, has – he hasn't seen her for two weeks, literally.

00:24:09.800 He went from San Antonio to Detroit.

00:24:11.540 Now, did Lauren see how horrible Milwaukee was?

00:24:15.080 Was it horrible when she was there?

00:24:16.780 So fill me in.

00:24:17.460 I didn't see the news today.

00:24:18.560 Wasn't Trump talking about the crime?

00:24:20.140 Yeah.

00:24:20.420 So there's –

00:24:21.680 To be clear, it's actually a nice city.

00:24:25.320 It's actually not as bad as – because I know bad.

00:24:28.140 That's not bad.

00:24:28.540 Downtown Detroit is nice too.

00:24:30.120 Downtown Chicago is nice.

00:24:31.100 They poured a lot of money into this city.

00:24:32.540 But it's very clear to me – so we've seen this happen with President Trump how many times over the years where there'll be something he said –

00:24:42.100 Some hoax.

00:24:42.520 When he gets into – well, I'll put it this way.

00:24:44.340 When he gets into a flow, right?

00:24:46.080 He's in a flow.

00:24:46.900 He's doing a riff.

00:24:47.880 He's explaining something.

00:24:49.020 And he can shift and parry and thrust and go in different directions all the time.

00:24:54.720 So somehow the topic of Milwaukee gets up – and we don't have a recording of this.

00:24:58.440 We only have like secondhand reports, and that's what makes it worse – that Punchbowl put out that Trump says Milwaukee is a horrible city.

00:25:06.520 And then this becomes the headline.

00:25:08.260 The entire mainstream media runs with this everywhere.

00:25:10.720 If you type Trump Milwaukee, you'll get Trump says Milwaukee is horrible.

00:25:13.760 Trump says Milwaukee is horrible.

00:25:15.240 And then Trump goes and is being interviewed by – how do you say her name?

00:25:21.520 Asa Hashney on Fox, their congressional correspondent, Capitol Hill correspondent.

00:25:25.720 She's actually pretty good.

00:25:26.780 No, no, no.

00:25:27.180 She's fine.

00:25:27.540 And she asked him, and she said, well, yeah, I was referring to the crime in the state of the city as it's been.

00:25:34.980 I'm not saying the city itself is bad.

00:25:36.560 I'm saying crime is bad.

00:25:37.920 And he's obviously said the same thing about New York City, his own city, many, many times.

00:25:42.520 But, of course, it's one of those classic, oh, you know, Trump said whatever.

00:25:46.460 So they're clearly trying to knock him out.

00:25:48.120 I mean, put it this way, though, Charlie.

00:25:50.180 Everyone is talking about the cities.

00:25:52.240 They're talking about the Midwest.

00:25:53.440 They're talking about all of these conventions that are going on.

00:25:56.980 They're putting the onus on you for turning point action.

00:25:59.500 They're putting the onus on Trump for Milwaukee.

00:26:02.000 Nobody's talking about the Democrats in Chicago because everyone knows.

00:26:05.520 And the dirty little thing they're trying to worry about, Blake, is they don't want a repeat of Chicago in 1968.

00:26:12.500 Yeah.

00:26:13.020 By the way, I looked it up, and Milwaukee has a higher murder rate than Chicago.

00:26:16.140 Boom.

00:26:16.660 Does it really?

00:26:17.260 Boom.

00:26:17.620 As of whatever the latest stats are on Wikipedia or whatever.

00:26:21.440 So I got 19.83 per 100,000, which is a bit above Chicago.

00:26:25.960 Yeah.

00:26:26.140 You know, I'll be honest.

00:26:26.780 I just I think Milwaukee is a really decent city.

00:26:29.840 And so one of Andrew asks, which blue wall state is most likely to go for Trump?

00:26:34.320 Let's debate this.

00:26:35.600 I'll be honest, Jack.

00:26:36.440 If I were a betting man, if I were to say, hey, Trump wins, what is the math?

00:26:39.920 I think the map is Trump flips Georgia, flips Arizona, wins Pennsylvania.

00:26:45.440 I can't I can't I can't accept it.

00:26:47.420 I can't accept it.

00:26:48.180 I have.

00:26:48.840 Let me tell you the data, though.

00:26:50.360 What just happened here?

00:26:51.520 Oh, something just did we lose something.

00:26:54.600 I might have kept something.

00:26:56.340 Are we still live?

00:26:57.320 Are we still are they still hearing us?

00:27:00.520 I hope so.

00:27:01.160 That could have just been for the headphones.

00:27:02.460 It was so great.

00:27:03.220 We had this great show. 1.00

00:27:04.220 Crap. 0.99

00:27:05.240 Oh, they could still hear us, though. 1.00

00:27:06.860 Yeah, I think it's just a headphone.

00:27:08.240 All right.

00:27:08.620 All right.

00:27:08.700 Because I like hearing myself.

00:27:10.720 We'll have we'll have Tyler.

00:27:11.760 I'm an old radio guy at my people.

00:27:13.300 I think Tyler's hiding under the table.

00:27:14.680 Yeah, that's right.

00:27:15.240 We'll blame.

00:27:15.680 So let me tell you the data.

00:27:17.100 OK, Jack, Pennsylvania, the voter registration.

00:27:20.380 Motor voter has backfired on them.

00:27:22.600 Well, it's not just motor voter.

00:27:23.760 It's so it's it's this universal.

00:27:25.560 Yeah, that's what I mean.

00:27:26.260 That's what I mean. 0.99

00:27:26.960 That the Josh Shapiro, the village idiot who is acting as our governor and and Al Schmidt, 1.00

00:27:33.420 the traitor, the absolute turncoat traitor who I and many others helped get elected 1.00

00:27:38.440 in Philadelphia many moons ago as a Republican city commissioner, is now acting as the Pennsylvania 0.83

00:27:43.500 secretary of state under Josh Shapiro, the village.

00:27:46.240 Much better.

00:27:46.720 Thank you, Terrell.

00:27:47.360 And so and so they instituted this new rule change where you can't opt out of motor voters.

00:27:54.000 A motor voter is when you go to get your license registered or renewed that you get registered

00:27:58.300 to vote.

00:27:59.280 And apparently you can opt out of it.

00:28:00.860 It's just like somebody was telling me back home that it's really deep in the system and

00:28:04.400 like the touchscreens, like you can't find it.

00:28:06.980 And but the problem is, though, in 67 of the 67 counties of Pennsylvania.

00:28:10.700 So that's not just the Pennsylvania dynamic.

00:28:12.760 We were just talking about 67 out.

00:28:15.180 So 100 percent of counties, people are picking are it's breaking red.

00:28:19.680 And people are saying are now the problem, though, that this creates is that by din of what

00:28:25.620 we just explained, those are people who don't vote.

00:28:28.040 And so well, and that's that's where universal mail in voting could potentially help us.

00:28:33.040 So potentially the of the three, though, Trump has this.

00:28:37.740 So so I the way I'm looking at this election is based on Sunbelt polling of North Carolina.

00:28:42.340 Florida is its own animal, Georgia and Arizona.

00:28:45.020 There is a built in two and a half to three point polling advantage that Trump has just 0.97

00:28:49.780 because Biden sucks in inflation. 0.95

00:28:51.300 That's what we see. 0.99

00:28:51.980 It's just kind of this little lift, as we could call it.

00:28:53.780 Would you say that's fair, Blake?

00:28:54.480 I think so.

00:28:55.600 Yeah, it's just like a little bit.

00:28:56.720 We see that in Georgia, Arizona.

00:28:58.000 Things cost a lot.

00:28:58.840 Have a lift.

00:28:59.580 So if we if we apply that logic to a lesser extent to Pennsylvania, in addition, Trump

00:29:04.340 has a love affair with the working class in Western Pennsylvania.

00:29:07.340 Right, Jack?

00:29:08.280 He does not have that tracking country, baby.

00:29:10.540 It's not just that, though.

00:29:11.700 It's the former industrial steel town that he has that bravado they love.

00:29:16.280 And there's one city that will determine the future of Pennsylvania.

00:29:19.260 What do you think I'm going to say?

00:29:21.300 Braddock or Bradford, Erie, Pennsylvania, Erie, Pennsylvania.

00:29:24.120 And not too far away.

00:29:25.040 Democrat stronghold.

00:29:26.140 On the other side of the lake right now.

00:29:26.920 Democrat stronghold.

00:29:28.040 Trump won Erie County in 2016.

00:29:30.500 I don't think he won it in 2020, though.

00:29:33.060 Now, remember, the Joe Biden did the whole Scranton Joe thing.

00:29:38.160 They have a lot of that.

00:29:39.380 That is that song has played.

00:29:41.280 And it is over.

00:29:42.100 Can you see who won Erie, Pennsylvania in 2020?

00:29:43.860 I'm curious.

00:29:44.440 I think you're I think you're right that it flipped.

00:29:46.100 I think it flipped.

00:29:47.140 There were a lot of those.

00:29:47.960 And Trump is usually the like the Bellwether.

00:29:50.520 That's right.

00:29:50.920 And Bucks County and all those.

00:29:51.980 But Erie, Pennsylvania is that is the is the by the way, we're not far from Erie, Pennsylvania

00:29:55.560 at all right now.

00:29:56.460 No, we're right across.

00:29:57.700 We're right across the lake.

00:29:58.680 It's directly across the lake here.

00:30:00.280 One end of Lake Erie.

00:30:01.140 That's the other.

00:30:01.700 So it goes.

00:30:05.040 Sandusky, Cleveland, well, Toledo, Sandusky, Cleveland, Erie, then Buffalo, Erie County went

00:30:10.680 for Biden by about twelve hundred votes.

00:30:12.480 Yeah.

00:30:12.780 OK, so you proved my point.

00:30:14.140 So if Trump wins Erie County, that's not enough.

00:30:17.080 How much did Trump fall short of in the state of Pennsylvania?

00:30:20.020 He fell short of it.

00:30:21.920 Eighty thousand votes.

00:30:22.760 Is that it?

00:30:23.240 Are you kidding me?

00:30:24.040 Yeah.

00:30:24.420 Eighty thousand.

00:30:24.860 Oh, that's nothing.

00:30:26.280 So, I mean, that that that right there percentage wise is actually better than Michigan, if I'm

00:30:29.840 not mistaken.

00:30:31.020 Michigan was the worst of the three blue wall states for Trump in 2020, if I'm not mistaken.

00:30:36.520 It could be.

00:30:37.540 Michigan is just so hard to predict.

00:30:39.140 I can definitely see the path where it's the breaking point state, just because, as

00:30:43.300 we've said, not just that the, you know, Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, there's more

00:30:49.300 of them and they're angry, but just they're angry.

00:30:52.540 And there's so many candidates that are specifically playing to them.

00:30:56.580 Bingo.

00:30:56.960 It's that like three different third party candidates have decided to make Michigan the

00:31:01.460 state where they're going to try to make a big splash.

00:31:03.500 Cornel West being one of them.

00:31:04.480 Cornel West.

00:31:05.300 Jill Stein's doing it.

00:31:06.320 And she's on the ballot.

00:31:07.000 I'm sure RFK will go for it.

00:31:08.100 So I just want to remind people that, again, I'm not saying Trump's going to win.

00:31:11.040 I give him a 50 50 shot.

00:31:12.340 But in 2020, there were no other candidates on the ballot.

00:31:15.780 Trump does better when the options are expanded.

00:31:19.220 He does worse when it's binary.

00:31:21.100 And even with the worst being binary, he only fell 41,000 votes short.

00:31:25.100 So I'm not I'm not guaranteeing victory.

00:31:27.400 More options.

00:31:28.080 Libertarians in 20.

00:31:29.260 No, there was not.

00:31:30.000 More options.

00:31:30.940 And also just fact check manager.

00:31:32.520 Jack, you know, I'm sorry to interrupt.

00:31:33.700 You know why?

00:31:34.040 Because of COVID.

00:31:34.560 They sued him off the ballot.

00:31:35.380 Please continue.

00:31:35.720 So there's more options.

00:31:37.880 And I think it has to be said, I think of the three elections, this is going to be the

00:31:42.440 one with the lowest amount of Trump frenzy, for lack of a better term, that you had people,

00:31:48.340 especially in 2020, they went totally berserk off the charts committed to getting Trump

00:31:53.320 out.

00:31:53.580 That's why we have the FBI rigging things. 0.51

00:31:55.680 You have big tech rigging things.

00:31:57.760 Any well beyond anything they did with the ballots, the stuff they did with our laws and institutions

00:32:02.420 to get Trump out, the frenzy, can they, they can't do it again.

00:32:05.700 And this went down to ordinary people.

00:32:07.340 So this helped their voter turnout.

00:32:08.900 It's why people didn't vote for third parties.

00:32:10.980 Whereas in 2016, you had a lot of people say, I don't care if Trump wins.

00:32:14.820 I'm mad at Hillary over what they did to Bernie. 1.00

00:32:16.800 I'm going to vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein, or I'm not going to vote at all.

00:32:21.140 Now we're all the way back around to this again.

00:32:23.700 What's David saying about it?

00:32:24.820 So guess how many votes Joe Jorgensen got, the Libertarian candidate got in, guess how

00:32:29.140 many votes she got in Pennsylvania?

00:32:31.020 How many?

00:32:31.460 80,000.

00:32:33.080 But on the ballot or right in?

00:32:36.360 Either or, but I'm telling you, that's your delta right there, 80,000.

00:32:39.920 Yeah, I mean, according to Politico, I don't think they made the ballot, though.

00:32:44.400 Unless they just decided not to report them.

00:32:45.920 I think it was, we kept the Greens, maybe they kept the Greens off the ballot.

00:32:49.260 I don't see them on the ballot.

00:32:50.060 Definitely in Pennsylvania, they kept them off.

00:32:52.140 That was one of the scummy things.

00:32:53.660 I'm looking at it now.

00:32:54.400 They're not on the ballot.

00:32:55.520 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:32:56.100 A lot of them don't include that.

00:32:57.220 No, it was the Greens were not on the ballot.

00:32:58.920 Okay.

00:32:59.420 Yeah, so the Greens were, so you're right on that one.

00:33:01.560 That was, was it Stein?

00:33:03.060 I don't think it was Stein.

00:33:04.060 No, Howie Hawkins.

00:33:05.060 Yeah, this is an example of where their lawfare was better.

00:33:07.940 Democrats were better at keeping Greens off the ballot than they got.

00:33:12.760 Well, Blake, explain why that's.

00:33:14.700 Yeah, so a very funny thing is, historically, of course, Republican voters are more likely to

00:33:19.240 vote for Libertarians, and Democrats are more likely to vote for Greens.

00:33:22.720 So the opposing parties are the best legal support those parties have.

00:33:27.320 And so, traditionally, Republicans try to do stuff to keep the Libertarians off the ballot

00:33:31.700 because they worry about losing votes.

00:33:33.240 Democrats try to keep Greens off the ballot.

00:33:35.220 And in 2020, there was a particularly bad divergence in terms of Democrats successfully keeping the

00:33:41.820 Greens off the ballot, which they did in Pennsylvania.

00:33:44.100 It was extremely shady what they did, extremely underhanded.

00:33:49.040 And Wisconsin.

00:33:49.440 And Wisconsin, yeah.

00:33:50.180 Were they in Michigan?

00:33:51.800 They were in Michigan.

00:33:53.080 But look at this.

00:33:53.520 They kept them off the ballot.

00:33:54.580 The Delta in Wisconsin between Trump and Biden was 20,000 ballots.

00:33:58.820 I'm going to say ballots.

00:34:00.120 The Libertarian got 38,000.

00:34:03.000 But was Green on the ballot?

00:34:04.500 Nope.

00:34:04.860 Yeah, that's the point.

00:34:05.660 And there you go.

00:34:07.000 And let me pull up Michigan.

00:34:07.980 But Green or Cornell.

00:34:09.240 There was no Cornell-West equivalent.

00:34:10.900 Here's the thing.

00:34:11.320 Michigan, they were on the ballot.

00:34:12.000 In Michigan, they were on the ballot? 0.94

00:34:14.580 So this time, you have RFK, you have Cornell-West, you have Jill Stein, and you have the gay 1.00

00:34:19.040 race communist Libertarian, who is potentially a protest vote.

00:34:24.440 Probably there's one more state like that.

00:34:26.220 Arizona?

00:34:26.700 Arizona.

00:34:27.500 You can tell from the base.

00:34:28.820 We are aware.

00:34:30.140 We are aware.

00:34:30.860 And yeah, the Delta, 10,000 Delta in Arizona, 51,000 for the Libertarian, Green, not on the

00:34:35.620 ballot.

00:34:36.640 Yeah, that's...

00:34:37.600 Starting to sense a little bit of a pattern here.

00:34:39.800 However, if you have Green now in Arizona, and you have Green now in Georgia, and you

00:34:44.720 have Green in Pennsylvania, you might be in a better spot.

00:34:48.220 Love the Green Party.

00:34:48.940 Ballot access, ladies and gentlemen.

00:34:50.500 We'll see.

00:34:51.520 So...

00:34:51.800 Anyway, so we've been on this.

00:34:55.480 So what do you think is the best...

00:34:56.960 If you were running the Trump campaign, Blake, would you go equal in all three?

00:35:01.540 Let's just say Arizona and Georgia are a given.

00:35:03.380 Would you have the campaign in them?

00:35:04.720 Do you go even in all three?

00:35:05.920 Do you go half and half?

00:35:08.320 Do you quietly forsake one of them?

00:35:11.880 I think you have to go for all of them.

00:35:14.340 Just...

00:35:14.860 We don't know which one will break that way.

00:35:16.800 And I can just easily see the reality where we...

00:35:19.560 You'd fall short by 20,000 votes in the state that you decided was actually unwinnable.

00:35:23.840 Or you win Wisconsin by 6,000 votes.

00:35:25.640 And...

00:35:25.960 Something crazy.

00:35:26.760 Yeah.

00:35:27.080 Wisconsin just acts weird.

00:35:28.380 And just as a general rule, one, I think the Trump campaign in general, they respond to

00:35:32.760 the energy of fighting in more states, being more go-getter about it.

00:35:36.160 That's just how the base is.

00:35:38.000 And also, there's diminishing returns when you just spend a ton in one state.

00:35:42.300 I think you don't get as much out of it as you do from just...

00:35:45.520 You know, take a shot on all three of them.

00:35:49.020 Of course, what I would also like is if we can get our progress that we want to make on

00:35:53.860 the you-know-what issue, then we don't need to win any of these.

00:35:57.180 Nebraska.

00:35:57.700 Yes.

00:35:58.060 Go Big Red.

00:35:59.800 So, how bullish are we that Trump's going to win Nevada?

00:36:06.280 I will admit, it's hard for me to envision it.

00:36:10.220 I know.

00:36:10.640 I'm the same way.

00:36:11.140 It's not been close.

00:36:11.780 Producer Andrew's sitting here, so everyone knows.

00:36:13.980 But the polls are very strong.

00:36:16.140 The polls are hard to ignore.

00:36:17.980 Trump is stronger in Nevada than he is in Arizona.

00:36:20.080 Yeah.

00:36:23.460 Okay, no, I got it. 0.72

00:36:25.000 I know, but they're as crooked as a $3 bill.

00:36:28.460 He's the opposite as I am with Pennsylvania.

00:36:31.500 I know.

00:36:31.700 He's like, I'm like bearish on Pennsylvania.

00:36:33.100 I'm like you in Pennsylvania.

00:36:33.900 Yeah, and he's super bullish on Nevada.

00:36:36.120 I'm like you in Arizona.

00:36:37.040 I'm like, I refuse the good news, get to work, chase ballots.

00:36:39.460 Yeah, 100%.

00:36:39.740 I'm just like whipping people.

00:36:41.040 Stop it.

00:36:41.580 Go find more people to go register.

00:36:45.220 You what?

00:36:47.340 You feel better if we were chasing?

00:36:48.980 In Nevada.

00:36:49.660 No, I agree.

00:36:50.820 Nevada's underworked for us.

00:36:51.980 I'm actually getting messages from, well, I shouldn't say, but someone who's working

00:36:56.800 on the field in Pennsylvania right now.

00:36:58.600 So the map is definitely shrinking.

00:37:02.300 And everything we predict has come true.

00:37:04.100 He's going to win Iowa.

00:37:04.860 He'll win Ohio.

00:37:05.420 He'll win North Carolina.

00:37:06.340 He'll win Florida.

00:37:07.680 And I think he's going to be good in Georgia.

00:37:09.780 Georgia's looking really healthy.

00:37:10.940 He's going to have to campaign there.

00:37:12.280 We're going to have to get out the vote.

00:37:13.200 Georgia's looking increasingly healthy.

00:37:15.120 And then it's going to come down to Arizona and one of the blue wall states, that kind 0.99

00:37:18.760 of one-two combo.

00:37:19.420 So let's play cut 23, is that?

00:37:23.120 Cut 23?

00:37:24.100 All about tips.

00:37:25.540 Blake's favorite topic.

00:37:26.520 Play cut 23.

00:37:27.340 Speaking of Nevada.

00:37:28.280 So this is the first time I've said this.

00:37:31.540 And for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're going to be very happy.

00:37:35.920 Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips.

00:37:41.300 People making tips.

00:37:42.580 We're not going to do it.

00:37:50.580 And we're going to do that right away.

00:37:52.380 First thing in office.

00:37:53.440 Because those people that have jobs in restaurants, whatever the job may be, a tipping job, we're

00:37:58.800 not going after for taxes anymore.

00:38:00.940 This will be ended.

00:38:05.080 Blake, do you like this?

00:38:06.180 First, before I answer, because someone pointed out, we should read the super chats because

00:38:12.340 people do hate to make them.

00:38:14.060 Valseco 16 says, I live in southern Oregon, massive Trump country.

00:38:18.740 Don Jr.

00:38:19.360 Loves hunting here.

00:38:20.300 How can we get a rally in Oregon?

00:38:21.860 Oh, wow.

00:38:22.720 And I suspect the answer is...

00:38:24.420 That'll be Project 2025.

00:38:25.560 Register your friends, that, or register your friends until Oregon is polling at, you know,

00:38:30.520 Biden plus two instead of Biden plus ten or whatever it is.

00:38:34.700 Maybe like a hunting event or something.

00:38:36.300 It'd be a lot of fun, but we are...

00:38:38.420 You've got to focus on the states that are the most likely to go our way.

00:38:41.580 Oregon is not in play.

00:38:42.520 Not for now.

00:38:43.800 Now, yeah, the tipping thing...

00:38:45.840 Blake, when you say not for now, are you referring to the separatist movement up there?

00:38:51.800 Oh, that would be fun, too.

00:38:53.120 That would be fun.

00:38:53.580 And just bring back the state of...

00:38:55.280 Was it Franklin they wanted to call it?

00:38:57.220 Franklin or Jefferson?

00:38:58.200 Jefferson.

00:38:58.920 Franklin is the one they would have made in Tennessee.

00:39:01.380 So, I guess with the tipping thing, I will say it feels politically very savvy to me

00:39:08.040 because it's the easiest thing in the world.

00:39:09.840 We've already got the images of people where you leave a nice tip and then you say, like,

00:39:14.640 vote for Trump, no taxes on tips.

00:39:16.660 It's working.

00:39:17.420 I will say, I saw one photo where someone wrote that and they also tipped really badly.

00:39:21.760 It was like an 8% tip.

00:39:23.240 If you're going to do this, you have to over-tip.

00:39:26.460 Hold on, hold on.

00:39:26.940 We should have an ethical conversation on tipping.

00:39:28.920 Minimum should be 20%.

00:39:30.060 I feel like we've gotten a creep from 15% to 20% over the last few years.

00:39:36.400 Right?

00:39:36.660 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:39:37.880 Definitely a minimum of 20 if you're going to make a political pitch to someone.

00:39:41.400 No, no, no.

00:39:41.820 We have to interrupt this.

00:39:43.040 How much do you tip?

00:39:44.500 I kind of eyeball it like 15 to 20.

00:39:46.640 Okay, fair enough.

00:39:47.360 Jack, how about you?

00:39:47.940 Um, so I've actually kind of changed this recently.

00:39:53.420 Um, I was usually, you know, 20 to 30, but lately because I've, depending on where I go.

00:39:59.800 30 is high.

00:40:00.660 Unless they really deserve it.

00:40:01.860 Depending on where I go, especially if it's a place.

00:40:03.940 Thank you.

00:40:04.880 Um, where I go a lot.

00:40:06.280 I've been doing, I've just been, I've been over tipping.

00:40:09.260 I've been going like 40, 50.

00:40:11.620 40 to 50?

00:40:12.920 Yep.

00:40:14.180 That's a lot.

00:40:14.800 That's generous.

00:40:15.900 But if it's a place.

00:40:17.480 But what kind of place are you eating at?

00:40:19.060 And are you bringing kids?

00:40:20.420 With kids.

00:40:20.940 Okay, kids you have to go over.

00:40:22.100 Yeah, with kids.

00:40:23.420 Kids, you got to go, you got to go, you got to go 30, 40 with kids.

00:40:25.460 I'm talking about like.

00:40:26.560 100%.

00:40:26.960 These are places where we go that we go to frequently.

00:40:30.220 They're independent.

00:40:31.700 They're.

00:40:32.100 Okay, I can hear you.

00:40:33.680 And the waiters really take care of you.

00:40:35.440 They were.

00:40:36.080 Well, yeah, not if it's bad service, obviously.

00:40:37.940 Well, no, but I'm talking about when they're like totally.

00:40:40.220 By the way, Andrew just said 15% is average.

00:40:43.160 No, no, no.

00:40:43.700 I think it's totally against us on this.

00:40:45.660 20%.

00:40:45.780 They've totally done this creep.

00:40:47.160 It was not 20% when I was a kid.

00:40:49.400 It was 15 to 18 or so.

00:40:52.140 20 is easy because the math is easy.

00:40:54.620 You just, you know, take 10% times two.

00:40:56.580 Yeah, 10% times two.

00:40:57.400 And so 20 is pretty easy to organically do.

00:41:00.640 You double it.

00:41:01.680 It's 20.

00:41:02.340 It's not that hard.

00:41:06.800 No, I haven't.

00:41:07.560 So if a waiter or a waitress is really attentive and you have a child who is making noise and

00:41:13.100 throwing food, 30%.

00:41:15.860 Or if you're with Blake.

00:41:18.620 Yeah, probably.

00:41:19.940 What's the most you've ever tipped?

00:41:21.280 I've doubled it before.

00:41:23.140 Oh, man.

00:41:24.320 You've doubled the check.

00:41:25.320 Yeah.

00:41:25.460 I don't think I've ever doubled.

00:41:28.240 I don't think I've ever had cause to do that.

00:41:30.460 I've gone over.

00:41:31.120 I've gone over 20 before.

00:41:32.220 Like I said, I just sort of round it for the most part.

00:41:35.400 Blake's like.

00:41:36.240 Okay.

00:41:36.600 Here's a question.

00:41:37.120 Have you ever left nothing?

00:41:38.500 Yes.

00:41:38.900 Okay.

00:41:39.120 Tell me why.

00:41:39.640 Yeah.

00:41:39.860 So I was once at one.

00:41:43.000 Actually, I was once for not only did I not tip.

00:41:45.580 Oh, wait.

00:41:45.920 No, this is the funniest one.

00:41:47.020 I was watching a Packers game at a place in Arizona.

00:41:50.140 And I'm going to do it by name because I want to drag them a bit.

00:41:52.500 It was Casey Jones in Phoenix, North Phoenix.

00:41:56.100 It's a Packer bar.

00:41:57.200 And I would watch Packers games there.

00:41:59.240 And they kicked me off the bar where I was seated, even though I had ordered food, because

00:42:05.180 I was not ordering alcohol.

00:42:06.780 I was only drinking like Diet Pepsi. 0.99

00:42:09.360 And so, and like they were kind of jerks about it. 0.97

00:42:11.580 And so I literally just read, I was like, I am not tipping you over this. 0.98

00:42:14.780 And then I did that.

00:42:16.220 One time I didn't pay at all because we had a server who was, I guess, having a bad day

00:42:21.060 and was super rude.

00:42:22.100 And he thought we were laughing at him or something because we were laughing at an unrelated

00:42:26.080 story.

00:42:26.600 And he kind of had a basically a meltdown.

00:42:29.060 And as we walked down, we just said, our service was really bad and we are not going

00:42:32.700 to pay for anything we received here.

00:42:34.440 And we pulled it off.

00:42:36.080 Well, so, I mean, obviously you're asking the question like in the United States, but,

00:42:40.440 but so when I lived in, when I lived in China or what any of the time I spent in Asia,

00:42:45.480 tipping is like, it's.

00:42:47.660 Oh, Europe.

00:42:48.160 It's like a foreign concept and like when they, when Americans leave 20%, they think

00:42:53.000 you're like the coolest person ever.

00:42:54.700 In Japan, if you tip, like the person will.

00:42:57.680 Yeah.

00:42:58.000 In Asia, if you tip, they'll be offended. 0.84

00:43:00.100 They don't tip.

00:43:01.200 They don't tip at all because they consider good service to be part of their, so it's

00:43:05.340 like face culture.

00:43:06.140 So that's part of their honor.

00:43:07.160 And so they would view tipping the way that we would do like a bribe almost like, oh,

00:43:12.020 you're bribing me.

00:43:12.800 But Arab countries, all you do is bribe. 1.00

00:43:14.600 Yeah, exactly.

00:43:15.060 I mean, if you want to get your luggage from a airport, $5 a year, $10 a year, no, it's

00:43:21.560 true, 100%.

00:43:22.300 Yeah.

00:43:22.580 Oh, yeah.

00:43:22.960 Egypt.

00:43:23.140 Am I wrong when I say that?

00:43:24.460 I was just in Morocco and it was just like that the entire time.

00:43:26.940 Okay.

00:43:27.220 So before Media Matters clips this, Jack, in Morocco, is it pay for play?

00:43:31.900 Everywhere.

00:43:32.460 Literally everywhere.

00:43:33.420 Okay.

00:43:34.040 It's just, it's nice.

00:43:34.760 It's just.

00:43:35.420 But by the way, they wouldn't also, they also wouldn't consider that a bribe.

00:43:38.420 They would consider that generosity.

00:43:40.460 Or graft.

00:43:41.620 Bakshish, bakshish.

00:43:42.700 Yeah.

00:43:42.940 You'll learn that if you ever go to Egypt.

00:43:44.200 Yeah, exactly.

00:43:45.580 And they know Americans have money.

00:43:47.660 So, so what do you, how, so people that leave like a 5% tip, how do they live it themselves?

00:43:55.760 Like consistently, as like a matter of principle.

00:43:58.420 I'm surprised, I'm, I'm kind of surprised anyone would leave 5% consistently.

00:44:02.520 I think you'd be more likely, you'd be more likely to run into someone who says, I'd be

00:44:06.500 saying it's more likely that someone would just never tip and they would just go, I'm

00:44:10.460 never going to tip ever.

00:44:11.800 Like I pay the price that is listed on the menu and tipping is bad.

00:44:15.420 And those people definitely exist.

00:44:18.500 I, I, I, here, here's, we have to understand that the, the, you guys know this, they pay

00:44:22.820 waiters and waitresses like $3 an hour. 0.83

00:44:24.740 This is somewhat misleading.

00:44:27.320 What happens is if you are a tipping company, that is the amount you are required to pay

00:44:33.560 them, but they are required to have their total compensation be at least U.S. minimum wage.

00:44:38.420 So if they are not getting that amount in tipped wages, then you have to make sure they get

00:44:43.160 to minimum wage.

00:44:44.380 Meaning if there's no customers.

00:44:46.080 Yeah.

00:44:46.300 Yeah.

00:44:46.960 So meaning, meaning it's like no one comes in the restaurant, they have to at least make

00:44:49.420 minimum wage.

00:44:49.560 Or if you weren't getting tipped or whatever, you have to make at least the U.S. minimum

00:44:52.520 wage.

00:44:53.040 Yeah.

00:44:53.100 They get tipped.

00:44:54.060 Yeah.

00:44:54.300 Obviously.

00:44:54.880 But they do get tipped.

00:44:55.740 And so their employers are allowed to pay them less, but they have to make at least

00:44:58.900 minimum wage.

00:44:58.940 Let me ask you a question.

00:45:00.000 So you, you're checking in an airport and you are checking luggage at the curb.

00:45:05.380 Do you give him a tip?

00:45:08.420 Wait, if I'm what?

00:45:10.200 You are at an airport checking luggage and you are checking it at the curb.

00:45:15.400 Do you give that man a tip?

00:45:16.300 I think this is like some rich people problem that I cannot empathize with.

00:45:20.280 I've never done this.

00:45:21.500 I carry my luggage. 1.00

00:45:22.240 You're a terrible person. 0.97

00:45:24.620 Jack, dude, when you check your bags, do you give him a tip? 1.00

00:45:27.440 We don't check bags.

00:45:28.320 We never check bags.

00:45:28.920 Check bags at the curb?

00:45:29.840 When you go to Europe, you don't check bags?

00:45:31.180 No.

00:45:32.420 How on earth do you go to Europe without checking a bag?

00:45:34.260 I don't check bags.

00:45:34.460 Carry a duffel bag?

00:45:35.260 I carry a duffel bag with me to Poland.

00:45:38.780 Jack has like two kids.

00:45:40.080 How do you go to...

00:45:40.760 We don't check.

00:45:41.660 Tanya is actually really, really good at packing. 1.00

00:45:44.740 Wait, you bring the kids on the plane instead of checking them in the luggage?

00:45:47.820 Angelo says $10 per bag if you don't want your bag lost.

00:45:51.040 Thank you, Angelo.

00:45:52.300 You are a good American.

00:45:54.700 This is...

00:45:55.460 I never check bags.

00:45:56.380 It is $10 per bag.

00:45:57.740 Okay, we have to get into more controversial territory.

00:46:00.100 If you're at...

00:46:01.080 Have you noticed they've added the tip screens to everything now?

00:46:03.840 Oh, no, it's...

00:46:04.340 Oh, you mean you can check outside?

00:46:04.880 No, no, no, no.

00:46:05.640 I'm right with Blake on this.

00:46:07.020 You know, it is a scam.

00:46:08.500 They asked me to tip when I pick up takeout.

00:46:11.340 Yeah.

00:46:11.940 That is...

00:46:12.780 No, no, no.

00:46:13.240 It's a new thing.

00:46:13.900 They add it automatically at Chop Shop.

00:46:16.080 Ooh, that is a scam.

00:46:17.120 Automatically add it in.

00:46:18.460 And you have to...

00:46:19.220 If you go too fast and all of a sudden it's like 20% built in.

00:46:22.940 The place I got lunch today had 18% gratuity automatically for all dine-in and they like hide

00:46:28.140 it on the bill like when you get the final thing and then ask for a tip on top of that

00:46:32.140 and I was...

00:46:33.180 I raised my eyebrow at that one.

00:46:34.480 So this is otherwise good.

00:46:35.520 You know what I don't like though?

00:46:36.440 Takeout tips?

00:46:37.300 Are you kidding me?

00:46:38.040 I like when they do...

00:46:39.460 So I like the idea of a tip too because it's like someone's worked...

00:46:42.560 You've built up that rapport over the night.

00:46:45.520 You know, a big tip is coming.

00:46:46.780 It's going to be part of it.

00:46:48.000 But the one that I hate is when they spin the tablet around now and it's like 20, 25,

00:46:53.920 30.

00:46:54.180 Oh no, it's so bad.

00:46:55.060 And they don't even look at you.

00:46:56.300 They don't even look at you when they spin it around.

00:46:59.780 Yeah.

00:47:00.240 And they just...

00:47:00.760 That's right.

00:47:01.240 They don't say anything.

00:47:02.060 They just turn it around and there it is.

00:47:03.300 Okay.

00:47:03.540 So let me now go further.

00:47:05.660 If you valet a car, do you tip the valet?

00:47:08.220 Yes.

00:47:09.940 I've never valeted a car.

00:47:11.960 You've never valeted a car?

00:47:13.320 Nope.

00:47:14.760 You've never...

00:47:15.240 Ever?

00:47:15.900 Nope.

00:47:16.360 I find that remarkably hard to believe.

00:47:18.300 Well, you did grow up in South Dakota.

00:47:19.520 Yeah.

00:47:20.020 Valet...

00:47:20.500 Where?

00:47:21.180 Did you know that in North Dakota parking meters are illegal?

00:47:24.280 Based.

00:47:25.800 I mean, I'm not a big...

00:47:26.600 I'm not a parking meter fan.

00:47:28.320 Yeah, but how many states have been courageous enough to ban them?

00:47:31.020 Yeah, I don't...

00:47:31.640 Constitutionally.

00:47:32.560 I don't like getting my car valeted, so I try to avoid it as much as possible because

00:47:36.340 I like having my keys.

00:47:36.680 It's unavoidable if you go to nice places.

00:47:38.560 But...

00:47:38.760 It's unavoidable.

00:47:39.280 But at some places, it is not...

00:47:41.340 I'm not saying...

00:47:41.940 I've gotten away with it.

00:47:42.660 You don't go to nice places.

00:47:43.440 I've gotten away with it.

00:47:44.360 You like ramen food.

00:47:45.160 No, no, no.

00:47:45.740 I've gotten away with it at Mar-a-Lago.

00:47:47.440 I've gotten away with not having to valet at Mar-a-Lago.

00:47:50.180 Okay, that's...

00:47:50.840 So, have you ever...

00:47:51.940 So, Jack, you could sympathize with this.

00:47:53.420 When you valet and you don't tip because you don't have any cash, they give you bad energy.

00:47:58.660 I hate that.

00:47:59.240 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:48:00.440 I will, like...

00:48:01.240 I will go to great lengths.

00:48:02.420 Yes, Angelo's right.

00:48:03.500 You get the look.

00:48:04.120 You get the look.

00:48:04.800 No, it's...

00:48:05.280 You get such a look.

00:48:06.040 He's hexing your bloodline.

00:48:07.940 Yeah, it's so bad.

00:48:09.200 And he probably knows how to...

00:48:10.240 It's so bad to you.

00:48:10.260 You might know how to actually do the hex, you know.

00:48:12.240 I'm telling you.

00:48:12.960 They have, like, a woo-gee doll or whatever.

00:48:14.640 You know, a...

00:48:15.340 You're like...

00:48:16.060 Foodoo doll.

00:48:16.660 Yeah, that's right.

00:48:17.300 Woo-gee? 0.98

00:48:17.920 Yeah.

00:48:18.260 Woo-gee.

00:48:18.740 They're playing a Ouija board.

00:48:19.900 They're playing a Ouija boards while they're waiting for the cars.

00:48:22.020 They got all sorts of weird satanic activity for people that don't tip them.

00:48:25.560 So, in other words, you need...

00:48:27.140 You're giving a tip. 0.65

00:48:27.540 They're cutting heads off of lambs.

00:48:28.980 They're doing all sorts of weird stuff.

00:48:29.760 No, if somebody is... 0.94

00:48:30.640 Look, if somebody is driving your car and parking it and dealing with that, that job sucks.

00:48:36.660 That job's just not fun.

00:48:38.000 You probably get someone who's freaking out at you at some point during the day.

00:48:40.980 Why would you not tip that person?

00:48:42.440 One of my least favorite moments...

00:48:44.440 There's a restaurant Eric and I like going to, and it's at a resort, so you have to valet.

00:48:47.800 There's no choice, right?

00:48:48.620 Right.

00:48:49.740 ...is when I don't have cash and they don't believe you.

00:48:54.860 And it is...

00:48:55.780 No, no, no.

00:48:56.660 I really, really don't have...

00:48:57.600 This is why Trump always carries a little bit of cash, though.

00:49:00.380 It's like, I don't have any cash.

00:49:02.640 And they say, uh-huh.

00:49:03.640 Yeah.

00:49:04.040 Get in the car.

00:49:04.960 Well, you know what's funny about tips is...

00:49:06.760 It's funny that it just occurred to me, though, that Trump is famously a huge tipper.

00:49:11.220 No, by the way, he has wads of $100 bills that he'll bring out.

00:49:14.520 He just carries wads of hundreds.

00:49:15.600 That's right.

00:49:16.060 And you've heard stories of this where he's gone in somewhere and he's had an event, and

00:49:22.580 it's like everyone backstage gets $100.

00:49:24.720 Who's working there?

00:49:25.220 No, that's right.

00:49:25.740 Just everyone gets $100.

00:49:26.740 A notoriously generous tipper.

00:49:28.220 Yeah.

00:49:28.760 So are there...

00:49:31.120 When else outside of food do you tip, Blake?

00:49:34.800 I'll usually tip Uber drivers who are good.

00:49:36.600 So you do tip Uber?

00:49:37.600 Yeah.

00:49:37.940 Okay.

00:49:38.520 Yeah, Uber's fine.

00:49:39.480 Do you tip Uber, Jack?

00:49:40.380 Of course.

00:49:41.000 You tip dealers at poker tables if you get a good hand.

00:49:45.040 Oh, you do?

00:49:46.500 Not that I...

00:49:47.080 I haven't played a ton of it, but if you win big, you should do that.

00:49:50.700 And then...

00:49:52.220 I don't know.

00:49:52.520 What are the other examples that come to mind?

00:49:54.160 Haircuts, Blake?

00:49:55.340 Oh, yeah.

00:49:56.200 Oh, that's a good one.

00:49:57.440 Do you tip your barber?

00:49:59.220 I did when I had one.

00:50:01.380 It's been a while.

00:50:06.400 Walked right into it.

00:50:08.980 Jack, do you tip your barber?

00:50:10.300 Of course.

00:50:10.960 A hundred percent.

00:50:11.400 How much do you tip?

00:50:12.100 I'm a very generous barber tipper.

00:50:13.820 A ton.

00:50:14.000 I agree with that.

00:50:14.920 Yes.

00:50:15.820 Ryan brings up food delivery.

00:50:17.580 Ryan, when do you think of the last time I got food delivery?

00:50:19.040 By the way, I have to say this comment.

00:50:21.000 Valsack can succeed again.

00:50:22.240 Bad tip, Blake.

00:50:23.020 Yeah.

00:50:23.360 Oh, here's a good one.

00:50:24.300 Here's a good one.

00:50:25.120 Do you tip the chambermaid?

00:50:28.840 Honestly, I don't.

00:50:30.300 That's the title, chambermaid. 0.87

00:50:31.600 Honestly, I don't.

00:50:32.980 Is it not the title, chambermaid?

00:50:35.580 Housekeeping is chambermaid. 0.84

00:50:36.700 You would just say housekeeping, though.

00:50:38.520 This isn't the 1920s, Charlie.

00:50:42.400 Charlie's like, come on, you square robes.

00:50:43.580 Look it up.

00:50:44.200 It's chambermaid.

00:50:48.120 We're going to roll some numbers here later.

00:50:50.120 Do you call it toilet a chamber pot?

00:50:51.720 Jiggas, it's the fuzz.

00:50:53.400 I call it the loo.

00:50:54.600 He calls it the loo.

00:50:56.260 He's British now.

00:50:57.300 I thought you were Scottish.

00:50:58.340 I am Scottish.

00:50:58.980 Is it not chambermaid?

00:51:00.020 So wait, you call it the loo, but you don't call her the loo lady?

00:51:02.800 The loo lady. 0.89

00:51:03.580 Is it not say chambermaid?

00:51:05.160 I'm looking this up.

00:51:06.560 A maid who claims bedrooms and bathrooms, especially in a hotel. 0.99

00:51:10.300 Yeah, from a hundred years ago, maybe.

00:51:13.960 You don't call her the chambermaid?

00:51:16.380 What do you call her?

00:51:17.320 The housekeeping person?

00:51:18.620 Housekeeping.

00:51:19.180 You just say housekeeping.

00:51:20.020 No, that's so insincere.

00:51:21.200 What's her title?

00:51:22.000 Do you call Mikey your Batman?

00:51:23.240 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:51:25.360 What, what do you think she goes around and she calls herself? 1.00

00:51:28.140 The maid?

00:51:28.780 The maid.

00:51:29.360 Chambermaid.

00:51:31.480 No, she doesn't.

00:51:32.520 No one does this.

00:51:33.520 She doesn't call her...

00:51:34.020 Oh, just come into my chambers, yeah.

00:51:36.180 She doesn't call herself...

00:51:36.240 She doesn't call herself the housekeeper maid.

00:51:40.580 Lord, Lord, Lord Charlie over here.

00:51:42.740 The cleaner?

00:51:43.260 Erica, fetch the chambermaid. 0.99

00:51:45.640 The chamber needs a turning.

00:51:48.120 Exactly.

00:51:49.020 Gets me a bedwarming pan.

00:51:51.240 Draw my bath, chambermaid.

00:51:56.980 Did.

00:51:57.580 Yes.

00:51:57.820 Did.

00:51:58.280 Past tense.

00:51:59.020 They still exist.

00:51:59.480 Past tense.

00:52:00.840 The Google is in past tense, therefore...

00:52:02.860 When they knock, they usually say, chambermaid is here.

00:52:05.800 No, they don't.

00:52:06.520 Where are you staying?

00:52:07.560 Are you...

00:52:08.920 Do you take vacations, like, in the past, and this is why we don't actually know?

00:52:12.300 Charlie, were you...

00:52:12.620 Because, like, you're time-traveling to the past.

00:52:14.580 Did you sail on the Titanic?

00:52:15.840 Did you survive that voyage?

00:52:16.960 I have been called an old soul.

00:52:20.040 The other Google is, what did a chambermaid do in the Middle Ages? 0.86

00:52:23.700 In the Middle Ages!

00:52:27.160 It's from the 1500s.

00:52:28.920 It's from the 1500s.

00:52:30.160 Charlie's like, I was just reading this, uh, the Codex of Jerome, and, uh...

00:52:34.440 Oh, my goodness.

00:52:35.460 Um, so, do you tip?

00:52:38.020 Chambermaids? 0.77

00:52:38.460 No, I don't.

00:52:38.980 I probably should, but I don't.

00:52:40.140 Angela says you have to tip chambermaids. 0.96

00:52:41.740 Good point.

00:52:42.340 You have to clean on a daily basis.

00:52:44.020 I...

00:52:44.580 This is gonna sound weird.

00:52:45.720 I usually put up the, like, nocturnal activity sign, because I don't like the cleaners cleaning

00:52:50.760 my hotel room, for the most part.

00:52:52.000 It's not because of nocturnal activity.

00:52:53.500 I've tipped...

00:52:54.160 I've forgotten to tip them for quite a while.

00:52:55.860 Like, I don't...

00:52:56.440 One, I don't trust them.

00:52:57.800 I shouldn't.

00:52:58.100 I do a poor job, but I shouldn't.

00:52:59.980 I don't trust them, and just...

00:53:01.100 It messes stuff up, and I'm usually not in a hotel for more time.

00:53:03.500 Do you...

00:53:03.820 Okay, here's a good question.

00:53:04.760 When you're in a hotel, do you lock up your stuff, or do you trust them to be in your hotel

00:53:08.340 room?

00:53:08.620 In Detroit, I do.

00:53:10.780 I don't travel with anything valuable.

00:53:14.460 That's the most Blake answer ever.

00:53:17.140 So, let's...

00:53:17.700 So, other tipping.

00:53:18.980 So...

00:53:19.900 No, when I'm overseas, I use the safe.

00:53:22.560 You use the safe?

00:53:23.900 Yeah.

00:53:24.780 Which, hilariously, it's actually probably more dangerous in America than it is overseas,

00:53:27.960 but...

00:53:28.400 It depends, but...

00:53:29.960 Do you tip flight attendants?

00:53:31.020 No way do you flip tight ends.

00:53:32.300 No, I...

00:53:32.800 No, wait, wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:53:34.520 I've heard about this.

00:53:35.800 So, this is like one of those, you know, it was on Daily Mail one time or something, and

00:53:40.360 it was like secrets of flying, and they said that if one thing that you can do for flight

00:53:45.400 attendants is tip them right when you get on the plane, is the idea. 0.92

00:53:51.320 So, you tip them right when you get...

00:53:52.520 That's fascinating.

00:53:53.180 I'm totally...

00:53:53.720 You see where I'm going with this?

00:53:54.700 And some people say, also, gift cards is a big one.

00:53:56.960 Yeah, Ryan says, I do it sometimes, and it turns out great.

00:53:59.340 So, gift cards, like, 20 bucks at Starbucks, or maybe even 10, you know, a $10 Starbucks

00:54:05.740 gift card, or whatever it is, and then suddenly your entire service...

00:54:08.940 And by the way, even if she doesn't end up being your, you know, because you're, like,

00:54:13.820 in a different section or whatever, she might not be the attendant for your section, they're 1.00

00:54:17.360 going to know, and they're going to know, like, they know who's on the plane, right?

00:54:20.800 They're, like, you know, the big guy who's looking at, who's watching thought crime in,

00:54:24.900 you know, in row six was the guy who gave the gift card.

00:54:29.380 And so, it's, like, this cheat code that when you first get on, that's when you get it.

00:54:32.700 We should do that.

00:54:33.280 We should get it so, like, Delta has thought crime episodes on the little TV screen.

00:54:38.360 Other positions worthy of tip...

00:54:39.840 I'm trying to look at the Trump electorate here, okay?

00:54:41.960 So, Trump...

00:54:42.740 Well, we haven't really tied it back to...

00:54:44.440 Well, hold on, hold on, but let's be honest.

00:54:45.660 Here's where President Trump's missing it.

00:54:47.240 Does he actually think that all these people are declaring their cash tips as income?

00:54:52.180 Of course not.

00:54:53.220 But a lot of people tip in non-cash ways, I suppose.

00:54:55.540 Yeah.

00:54:56.620 What about...

00:54:57.620 Do people ever tip, like, house cleaners or, like, lawn mowers, stuff like that?

00:55:04.140 Lawn mowers?

00:55:05.700 I guess you already just...

00:55:06.580 Landscaping?

00:55:07.540 Yeah, landscapers.

00:55:08.680 Whatever.

00:55:10.320 We call it...

00:55:11.040 We don't call it landscaping.

00:55:12.320 I can make a joke right now, but...

00:55:13.320 It's yard work.

00:55:14.540 I'm not going to do that.

00:55:15.580 It's yard work.

00:55:15.860 I think the term is a landscaper.

00:55:17.380 It's a landscaper.

00:55:18.060 Yeah, maybe, but whatever.

00:55:19.920 The lawnmower.

00:55:21.060 Do you...

00:55:21.460 Okay, let me ask you a question.

00:55:22.420 Do you think that conservatives or liberals tip better?

00:55:25.640 Conservatives, 100%.

00:55:26.540 Why do you think that?

00:55:27.520 Because I read a book about it.

00:55:29.300 Oh, really?

00:55:29.880 Yeah, there have been a lot of studies that showed this.

00:55:33.660 Do you agree, Blake?

00:55:34.940 Blake is, like, black pill by conservative culture.

00:55:36.740 I haven't looked into it.

00:55:38.360 I will say there is a stereotype of a common Democrat voting bloc that they don't tip great.

00:55:45.860 Yeah, I know the trans community really is cheap. 1.00

00:55:47.840 Them too, yeah.

00:55:49.280 I don't know.

00:55:50.040 I can also just see a lot of...

00:55:52.220 There's certainly, like, the irate libertarian type might be, like, I don't tip because it's not required of me.

00:55:58.420 It's not in the contract or something.

00:56:01.260 But...

00:56:01.460 Totally.

00:56:02.200 It violates the social contract.

00:56:03.820 Normally, like, you think of conservatives as caring more about, like, social norms, as it were, and it is a social custom and norm.

00:56:12.760 I truthfully don't know.

00:56:13.920 I bet Jack is right.

00:56:15.060 It probably is conservatives' tips slightly better.

00:56:16.940 But that might even be out of date.

00:56:18.400 Maybe that shifted because of the way the elections change.

00:56:20.540 Oh, Charlie, I saw a good line, by the way, on libertarian.

00:56:23.680 Like, there's this, like, very, very, you know, strict libertarian the other day that I thought you'd appreciate.

00:56:28.600 It said libertarians.

00:56:29.720 They're trying to replace God with contract law.

00:56:32.160 Oh, that's exactly right.

00:56:34.500 That is very true.

00:56:36.000 That's really smart.

00:56:38.040 The, uh...

00:56:39.080 So, by the way, did we have to do an ad read?

00:56:41.160 Did we forget any of that?

00:56:42.020 We haven't done anything.

00:56:42.400 Someone's saying babysitters?

00:56:45.000 Joe Biden gave his babysitter a different kind of tip.

00:56:47.540 Is that true?

00:56:48.940 Is that real?

00:56:50.940 Like, he married the babysitter?

00:56:53.240 No, she really was?

00:56:54.500 No, I believe so.

00:56:55.340 It's just debatable whether they were an item before his wife died.

00:56:58.220 But she really was.

00:56:59.040 She had babysat Hunter, I believe.

00:57:00.820 Wow.

00:57:01.100 I don't think I'm hallucinating that.

00:57:02.800 No, Beau is older, though.

00:57:04.320 Uh, older than her?

00:57:06.300 No, older than Hunter.

00:57:07.700 Well, I think, I just think she babysat the boys before the car accident and all that.

00:57:12.020 I always thought that was, like, one of those internet things.

00:57:14.360 Okay.

00:57:14.600 Now I'm going to look it up, because otherwise I'll get in trouble.

00:57:16.340 And Patriot takes, I'll be like...

00:57:18.140 So I'm going to look this up.

00:57:22.420 Jonathan has a great question.

00:57:23.860 Charlie, do you give money to beggars?

00:57:26.060 I just love that he used the word beggars. 0.95

00:57:27.480 Uh, beggars. 0.68

00:57:29.460 No, I do not.

00:57:30.320 Do you?

00:57:32.100 Sometimes I will...

00:57:33.040 I give money to local charities that help people in need, and I give generously to them.

00:57:36.940 I do not give money to people that I see routinely that ask for money with signs.

00:57:40.940 I do not.

00:57:41.240 If I feel moved to do it, I sometimes will, um...

00:57:45.860 I'm all for helping people.

00:57:47.380 There are people that totally gain the system.

00:57:49.140 I do, but I do think it is very clear, like, I don't know, like, in the Gospels there's a lot of beggars who make appearances, and it doesn't necessarily dwell super hard on whether they're, like, virtuous or deserving or not.

00:57:59.980 So I feel it's one of those things, if you feel moved to do it, you should... it's probably not the end of the world, to help them out a bit.

00:58:05.560 Even if it is...

00:58:06.080 I'm all for helping.

00:58:06.720 Even if it's probably a waste, even if it's almost certainly a waste, uh, I don't think it's a bad impulse to do sometimes, so...

00:58:13.820 I kind of want to take a detour and talk about the Logan Paul deal.

00:58:16.280 I think it's very thought-crimey.

00:58:17.780 Uh, have we had a chance to walk it... watch it yet, guys, or... is the episode up?

00:58:21.520 The episode's up.

00:58:22.580 Have you guys watched it or seen any clips of it?

00:58:24.220 I have not, but I saw a tweet from Raheem that said it's must-watch, the interview.

00:58:29.480 So let's... I mean, we don't have... what other topics do we have?

00:58:31.820 So apparently the interview's really good.

00:58:34.060 So, well, I don't know what... I haven't really been blown up about it yet.

00:58:37.880 Blake, what other topics do we have?

00:58:39.280 Oh, well, we can talk about the SPLC imploding.

00:58:41.700 Yeah, the SPLC is the one we have planned.

00:58:43.420 Uh, they love, um, they love Jack, so...

00:58:46.460 They love me, I think.

00:58:47.120 Yeah, so this is pretty great, though.

00:58:48.420 Blake, they love you, too, right?

00:58:49.380 Yeah, I think so.

00:58:50.360 So the SPLC, of course, has a war chest of something like $762 million, I think.

00:58:55.740 That's their endowment.

00:58:56.300 Well, it depends on if you're counting the money that's in this country versus the money that's held in the Cayman Islands.

00:59:00.580 Ooh, that's a good question, yeah.

00:59:02.340 But, so... and I did look it up.

00:59:04.620 I think I was wrong in the babysitter thing, so I guess it'll be too late.

00:59:07.700 They'll clip me or whatever, but...

00:59:09.820 That might not be true, it appears.

00:59:11.280 In Blake's head, Canada, it's real.

00:59:12.480 Yeah, I mean, I want to believe, and that's almost like it being true.

00:59:15.480 But anyway, so the SPLC just executed 25% of its staff.

00:59:19.860 They took them out back in Montgomery.

00:59:22.260 Is that real raw news?

00:59:22.940 They told them to look at the rabbits.

00:59:25.260 Blake, are you reading...

00:59:26.180 Think of the rabbits.

00:59:26.800 Is that according to real raw news here?

00:59:28.480 No, no, no.

00:59:29.180 This is just...

00:59:30.260 It's a metaphor.

00:59:31.920 It's...

00:59:32.520 They have nothing to live for now.

00:59:33.840 They've lost the SPLC.

00:59:34.820 Well, they already were...

00:59:35.560 They were communists to begin with, so...

00:59:37.060 I mean, it's debatable whether they were actually alive.

00:59:39.020 True, true.

00:59:40.060 So, the SPLC, they laid off 25% of their staff.

00:59:43.080 They're trying to focus more on racial justice or whatever it is.

00:59:46.980 And the union of SPLC Employee Union, because of course they have one, did an extremely irate

00:59:55.140 tweet about it, today, SPLC...

00:59:58.200 SPL Center, an organization with nearly a billion dollars in reserves, given an F rating by

01:00:04.360 Charity Watch for hoarding donations, gutted its staff by a quarter.

01:00:09.200 And they went on quite the...

01:00:11.140 Quite the long screed about it.

01:00:12.480 It's pretty funny.

01:00:13.700 This will have a catastrophic impact on the organization's work in support of immigrants

01:00:18.220 seeking justice.

01:00:19.220 Well, so this is what's actually really funny.

01:00:21.580 So, Charlie, going into the 2024 election, where we know, obviously, immigration is probably

01:00:27.740 going to be the number one issue on the Republican side that's pushed, the SPLC is actually slashing

01:00:33.460 all of their immigrant or immigration-focused workers, because apparently it's gotten so bad

01:00:41.300 that even the SPLC can't hire these people anymore.

01:00:44.900 And so, what is the reason they're giving for this?

01:00:47.440 They have a huge endowment, a $400 million endowment.

01:00:49.820 Why are they slashing staff?

01:00:51.240 It's not clear.

01:00:52.120 I mean, they say the standard, you know, they're refocusing their work, all the butt-covering

01:00:56.600 stuff.

01:00:57.860 What I think is funny to imagine is to just think of what the SPLC is.

01:01:01.860 So, the SPLC, just in case anyone doesn't remember, by the way, SPLC, Southern Poverty

01:01:06.260 Law Center, they exist to basically go around and they warn against hate as a threat.

01:01:12.300 And so, they label every conservative group under the sun as either a hate group or adjacent

01:01:17.780 to a hate group.

01:01:18.620 And then they collaborate with the FBI and government.

01:01:20.920 So, this is how they launder the whole thing, where they'll be able to say, like, Turning

01:01:24.680 Point USA, which has platformed this person, labeled a hate speaker by the Southern Poverty

01:01:29.700 Law Center, who are neutral experts. 0.99

01:01:31.780 All of that crap.

01:01:33.300 What they actually are is, they're an organization, I think they were started in the 70s, and they 0.99

01:01:37.540 were started by Morris Dees, who was basically a junk mail god.

01:01:42.520 He was extremely good at writing junk mail that would make, like, liberal housewives freak

01:01:47.360 out and want to donate money. 0.96

01:01:48.520 So, in the 70s, it was all like, the KKK is going to come back and kill everyone.

01:01:53.080 And then, in the 90s, he got, you know, he's, especially in the Trump era, they made tons

01:01:57.520 of money.

01:01:57.980 And it's basically, send junk mail to people and say, Donald Trump is Hitler and he's

01:02:02.180 going to do the American Holocaust unless you give us money to stop him. 0.97

01:02:05.560 And they made tons of money doing this, hundreds of millions of dollars.

01:02:09.780 And even in the 90s, you had liberals writing magazine pieces about this, where they would

01:02:14.640 just say, this company, or this charity is a scam, they're just piling up tons of money

01:02:20.140 by scaring people, the amount of work they do compared to it is minimal.

01:02:24.140 Morris Dees himself is this hilarious figure, I think he's been married seven times, very

01:02:28.940 old-timey type of liberal.

01:02:30.340 And in 2019, they kind of ginned up a Me Too scandal against him in his late 70s or early

01:02:36.880 80s.

01:02:37.360 And they sent him to a farm in upstate New York, and he hasn't been seen since.

01:02:41.040 Only two more marriages since then. 0.99

01:02:43.240 Yes, exactly.

01:02:44.640 And so he's been gone.

01:02:47.060 And they promised at the time, they said, we're going to get to the bottom of this.

01:02:50.820 We're going to bring in someone from the Obama administration.

01:02:53.340 It was like Michelle Obama's or her former confidant, something like that, to do this

01:02:59.560 full audit of everything.

01:03:01.360 And we're going to really investigate this.

01:03:03.240 And nobody has heard anything about it ever since.

01:03:05.460 They just totally lied.

01:03:07.480 No one held them accountable about it at all.

01:03:10.720 And what I think is going on now is they're now just fighting over the giant pile of money

01:03:14.500 that has been left behind.

01:03:15.420 Because they took out the guy who actually built the SPLC into this giant money-raising machine.

01:03:20.380 But the SPLC is not the ACLU.

01:03:24.480 They're not the NAACP.

01:03:25.660 Both of those orgs kind of, we don't like them, but they do things.

01:03:28.960 They do lawsuits and stuff.

01:03:30.420 And they have all of these elite lawyers.

01:03:32.600 The SPLC just runs a website calling Charlie Kirk a racist.

01:03:36.260 And they have $700 million. 0.99

01:03:38.820 And I think they hired a bunch of dumbs who don't know how to make the money. 0.95

01:03:42.320 And they're just sort of staggering around and trying to find ways to spend it and give 0.98

01:03:46.940 themselves bonuses and get rid of the people who they don't want to be getting part of

01:03:51.520 the take.

01:03:52.260 And it would be really amazing if they were headquartered in a red state that could investigate 0.97

01:03:55.660 them for all of this.

01:03:56.860 But I guess, I assume Montgomery, Alabama must just be in some deep blue state.

01:04:00.920 And this can't happen.

01:04:02.260 Okay.

01:04:02.620 What do we have here?

01:04:03.460 Let's go to, let's just set the table here.

01:04:07.100 Logan Paul used to be anti-Trump.

01:04:09.040 Who is Logan Paul for our audience that doesn't understand, Jack?

01:04:11.560 What is the significance?

01:04:12.300 Including me.

01:04:13.000 Yeah, so, I mean, he's a cultural phenomenon.

01:04:16.100 Yeah, I mean, the easiest way to put it is a YouTuber who got started doing kind of prank

01:04:22.280 videos.

01:04:22.960 From Ohio.

01:04:23.400 From Ohio, yeah.

01:04:24.400 He and his brother.

01:04:25.500 Jake.

01:04:26.020 Not twins.

01:04:27.240 A lot of people kind of think they're like.

01:04:28.020 He's the younger brother, I think.

01:04:29.160 Yeah, Logan's younger brother.

01:04:30.080 Jake's the older brother.

01:04:31.480 They did YouTube prank videos, got super big by doing it, and it branched out into other

01:04:36.100 things.

01:04:36.860 And Logan would definitely have been anti-Trump in 2020.

01:04:41.060 He was super woke in 2020.

01:04:43.220 Yes.

01:04:43.560 There's this really cringe video of him doing the Kendi anti-racist incantation.

01:04:49.820 I have realized that I am part of the problem if I do not actively take steps against racism.

01:04:57.480 And it's easy to crap on Logan Paul, but he has built an insanely valuable energy drink

01:05:02.040 company.

01:05:02.540 That thing is going to be sold for billions of dollars.

01:05:04.640 Like, that is unbelievable.

01:05:05.820 Like, do you know who runs Rockstar?

01:05:08.280 Yeah, Michael Savage's son.

01:05:09.320 Michael Savage's son.

01:05:09.940 Wiener is his name, actually.

01:05:12.440 So, yes.

01:05:13.760 So, anyway, Prime is incredibly powerful.

01:05:17.020 It's really, I don't know if it's going to be good anymore, but they say it's going to

01:05:19.620 be really good.

01:05:20.020 I see it everywhere.

01:05:20.920 Yeah, it's everywhere with, like, Gen Z.

01:05:22.520 So, Logan Paul has 27 million YouTube subscribers, very popular with ages 18 to 25 in particular.

01:05:29.580 He does this impulsive podcast, and he just welcomed Donald Trump on it.

01:05:33.320 Play Cut 131.

01:05:34.140 Super AI, right?

01:05:36.680 Super duper AI.

01:05:37.780 But, but what they, what it does is so crazy.

01:05:41.940 It's amazing.

01:05:42.500 It's just a man at the home of you.

01:05:43.100 It can also be really used for good.

01:05:45.280 I mean, things can happen.

01:05:47.040 I had a speech rewritten by AI out there.

01:05:49.920 One of the top people.

01:05:52.340 He said, oh, you're going to make a speech?

01:05:54.120 Yeah.

01:05:54.580 He goes, click, click, click.

01:05:56.880 And, like, 15 seconds later, he shows me my speech.

01:06:00.900 That's crazy.

01:06:02.500 That's crazy. 0.99

01:06:03.200 So beautifully, I said, I'm going to use this sucker. 0.97

01:06:07.140 I'm going to, I'm going to use, I've never seen anything like it.

01:06:08.960 What did you say to your speech writer after that?

01:06:11.300 You're fired.

01:06:12.200 Yeah, I said, you're fired, Vince.

01:06:15.120 Get that.

01:06:18.140 Vince.

01:06:20.140 Vince works with him.

01:06:21.280 Let's keep on getting cuts here. 1.00

01:06:22.620 So, it's a very much of a bro-y podcast.

01:06:25.700 Let's play, by the way, we're all seeing this for the first time.

01:06:27.280 Keep mics open.

01:06:28.360 Let's play Cut 129.

01:06:29.340 Of course, Trump just alphas them.

01:06:30.660 Play Cut 129.

01:06:31.480 In our country, and these are not people that are going to make America great again.

01:06:37.160 These are people that have a lot of issues, and we're going to have a lot of issues as

01:06:42.540 long as they're here, and we're going to get them out. 0.73

01:06:45.440 We have to get them out.

01:06:48.680 And that is, he's talking about the foreigners and the illegals that are here in the country. 0.99

01:06:51.500 It's like full circle back to 2015.

01:06:53.420 You know, people, they've got a lot of problems.

01:06:55.280 They're coming here, and some, I assume, are good people.

01:06:57.560 All the way back to escalator day.

01:06:59.180 This is Donald Trump saying that Brittany Griner should have been kept in a Russian prison.

01:07:04.700 Play Cut 130.

01:07:06.640 Who knows what that means, but he was a great arms dealer.

01:07:10.000 For the basketball player that wouldn't stand up during the national anthem, she thought

01:07:14.200 that was a good time to tie her sneakers.

01:07:15.700 And that was not exactly the greatest trade, but he gave $6 billion on top of everything.

01:07:22.980 $6 billion, billion with a B.

01:07:25.700 And they don't know what they're doing.

01:07:27.900 And when you do that...

01:07:28.700 The question is, did Logan Paul talk at all in the interview, or did Trump just alpha him

01:07:34.020 for 15 minutes?

01:07:34.220 Wait, so Trump didn't actually say she should be kept?

01:07:36.460 No, no.

01:07:36.900 By the way, first of all, the Biden team is saying that Trump says immigrants do not make

01:07:41.640 America great.

01:07:42.180 He's talking about foreigners that are illegally here.

01:07:44.220 So just be very clear.

01:07:44.600 That's when they constantly lie about that.

01:07:46.540 By the way, their Biden-Harris HQ is the most desperate, paranoid Twitter response team

01:07:52.600 I've ever seen.

01:07:53.380 And it's like, you can debunk the things they're saying without even watching the clip.

01:07:59.920 It's just you know what obviously happened, because they do the same lies over and over.

01:08:04.440 So even then, with Brittany Greiner, he didn't say she should have been kept.

01:08:08.100 He said it was a bad deal.

01:08:09.840 This is Donald Trump asking Logan Paul, who makes more money, him or Jake?

01:08:14.800 Play Cut 132.

01:08:17.200 Excuse me, did you guys start like separately?

01:08:19.680 Me and Jake?

01:08:20.320 Yes.

01:08:20.720 Nah, together.

01:08:21.680 Oh, you started, so you started together?

01:08:23.060 Together on YouTube.

01:08:23.980 And did you branch out?

01:08:25.260 Yeah, well, eventually, because I went to college.

01:08:28.440 Jake was still in high school.

01:08:29.380 He ended up dropping out.

01:08:30.320 I finished my first year.

01:08:31.820 It's an amazing two stories, right?

01:08:33.440 Yeah, for sure.

01:08:34.160 Who makes more money? 0.99

01:08:35.780 It depends on the year.

01:08:37.400 It depends if Jake has fights.

01:08:39.140 All about the money, baby.

01:08:40.160 And it depends on when this sells right here.

01:08:42.020 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:08:42.760 I think.

01:08:43.380 Is that your new drink?

01:08:44.940 Oh, that's good.

01:08:45.600 I will.

01:08:46.100 Yeah.

01:08:46.320 Yeah, yeah.

01:08:46.660 If you make it, I like it.

01:08:48.960 Oh, thank you, Mr. President.

01:08:50.280 No, it's got to be good.

01:08:51.720 It's got to be.

01:08:52.240 Look, something's propelling him to fight world champions to a draw, right?

01:08:56.660 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:08:57.800 We actually made this American Prime special for this episode.

01:09:02.980 It's a hydration beverage.

01:09:03.700 It's doing fine.

01:09:04.440 Doing well.

01:09:04.880 We did $1.2 billion last year.

01:09:06.940 That's great.

01:09:07.440 Year two.

01:09:08.440 That's fantastic.

01:09:11.660 Guys, if you're using $1.2 billion in revenue, that's insane.

01:09:16.080 I mean, that's unbelievable.

01:09:17.340 I just realized there was a South Park special that was making fun of these guys, and that's

01:09:21.220 the only thing I know about them.

01:09:22.520 There was.

01:09:23.120 There was an entire thing where the subplot was an influencer who had their own energy

01:09:27.600 drink line that people were killing themselves for and stuff, but I didn't know who they were.

01:09:33.260 That would be them.

01:09:34.220 Let's go.

01:09:35.120 Logan Paul tells Donald Trump that he actually approached Netflix to step in for Mike Tyson.

01:09:39.900 Let's play cut 134.

01:09:42.320 Do you ever fight your brother?

01:09:45.420 That's the question.

01:09:46.320 You want to know something?

01:09:47.160 I want to know.

01:09:47.880 Okay.

01:09:48.360 You both.

01:09:49.180 You are.

01:09:50.180 Do you ever fight him?

01:09:51.140 Thank you.

01:09:52.200 Not in real life.

01:09:53.100 You practiced a little bit.

01:09:54.340 Never.

01:09:54.760 We've never even sparred.

01:09:55.740 But I was willing to step in for Mike Tyson when Tyson got sick and had to postpone his fight,

01:10:01.540 and we actually ran it up the chain at Netflix.

01:10:03.840 It's hard for brothers to fight, though.

01:10:05.960 I think it's hard.

01:10:06.820 Not on Netflix for a big old bag.

01:10:09.800 Figure it out once and for all.

01:10:11.460 I think it's...

01:10:12.120 You don't think so?

01:10:12.980 You love my brother?

01:10:13.960 Well, me and Jake decided that I knew I'd come from a place of love, and whatever the

01:10:18.920 outcome would be, we'd have to be okay with it.

01:10:20.780 But obviously, I love my brother.

01:10:21.920 He's being alpha is what he's doing.

01:10:23.720 It's just one time, though, for the rest of his time.

01:10:26.880 That night goes down forever.

01:10:28.580 Jake's tough.

01:10:29.080 He's good.

01:10:29.840 He's very good.

01:10:30.980 And you're very good.

01:10:34.960 It's like he was the host.

01:10:36.440 It was like he's the Rogan of this interview.

01:10:39.160 He's interviewing them.

01:10:40.060 Let's play Cut 133 of Logan Paul on the Donald Trump podcast.

01:10:42.960 We'd like to extend the invite to Joe Biden if he'd like to come on this podcast.

01:10:46.600 Yeah, I think he should.

01:10:47.760 You know what chance you have of getting him on?

01:10:50.000 I'd say less than 1%, okay?

01:10:53.040 If you did that, I'd actually watch that one.

01:10:55.440 But Trump keeps on doing these situations where he's contrasting himself with Joe Biden.

01:11:06.960 It really is.

01:11:09.220 It straight up feels like Trump is younger than he was a year ago, two years ago.

01:11:14.080 It's like the campaign really has revitalized him to a strong degree.

01:11:18.760 We're getting all these moments.

01:11:20.000 It feels like it's 2015 sometimes.

01:11:21.980 It's something else.

01:11:24.580 So in closing here, guys, I want to tell you about – I'm going to watch the whole interview tonight.

01:11:29.200 I was going to say, is that it?

01:11:30.320 I want more.

01:11:31.100 I need more.

01:11:31.240 I know.

01:11:31.740 I'm going to watch the whole thing.

01:11:32.860 Final thoughts, guys.

01:11:33.860 Charlie, the chambermaid clip is already going viral.

01:11:36.940 Is it going viral?

01:11:37.760 Yeah, but with our people.

01:11:39.360 Good.

01:11:40.280 I stand by – I mean, I stand by it.

01:11:42.960 Charlie, are we going to launch an energy drink line?

01:11:45.040 You know, I was actually thinking of what is my prime, and I don't know what it is.

01:11:50.300 Like, what is my equivalent?

01:11:51.800 I don't know.

01:11:53.240 I don't know if it's energy drink.

01:11:54.500 You have the hot sauce.

01:11:55.640 I do.

01:11:56.020 I could resurrect that.

01:11:57.340 You have the hot sauce.

01:11:58.000 The hot sauce is really good.

01:11:59.920 I tried the hot sauce.

01:12:01.000 Remember we did the hot sauce on the day?

01:12:02.080 Here's the thing about energy drinks, though, is that people will consume three or four of those in a day.

01:12:05.220 It's such high volume, high margin.

01:12:07.660 Hot sauce is high margin, low volume.

01:12:10.500 Low volume, yeah.

01:12:11.040 Because you'll buy like one or two a year.

01:12:12.420 Yeah, you'll buy a bottle and then –

01:12:14.040 It lasts a year.

01:12:14.720 Right, exactly.

01:12:15.760 So energy drinks is like people will just go right through.

01:12:17.840 They print money.

01:12:19.100 The energy drinks print money.

01:12:21.380 He was smart to do it.

01:12:22.260 He'll be a billionaire because of it.

01:12:23.700 All right, guys.

01:12:24.360 Trump visits the People's Convention.

01:12:25.860 See you in Detroit, tpx.com slash peoples.

01:12:27.820 And make sure to tip your chambermaids.

01:12:29.800 See you later.

01:12:30.420 The crime is death.

01:12:44.720 It's a certain part.

01:12:45.260 Well, you hood.

01:12:45.620 It puts him up to me.

01:12:46.020 Tpx.
