00:00:00.000 I feel a change in the US presidential election campaign. I've hinted at it a few times on the
00:00:05.780 show, but now I am confidently ready to say that I feel the momentum is strongly shifting
00:00:11.440 in favor of Donald Trump. I'm not the only one who's noticed it. Americans all across the country
00:00:17.600 have noticed it well, and that is why we are seeing a strong resurgence in Trump derangement
00:00:23.200 syndrome following his successful return to Buntler, Pennsylvania on Saturday with Elon Musk.
00:00:30.000 We've noticed that Americans and media and celebrities are out in full force with their
00:00:36.260 crazy and all the reasons why they hate the former president. Joining me today to discuss
00:00:41.000 is T-Morth columnist C.O. Levy. I'm Rachel Parker, and you're watching Rachel in the Republic.
00:00:54.900 Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Rachel in the Republic. I'm your host, Rachel Parker.
00:00:59.460 So we are doing a full episode on Trump derangement syndrome this week. I actually haven't covered
00:01:05.800 that yet so far on this election cycle, something everyone kind of knows about. It's joked about
00:01:10.600 online fairly frequently. I think it first emerged during the 2016 election cycle when Donald Trump
00:01:16.960 ran for president for the first time. And I was chatting a little bit with Sue Ann, who was like,
00:01:20.900 oh, let's do an episode on Trump derangement syndrome. And she began to send me some examples.
00:01:26.060 I found a few of myself, um, the ridiculous things that people have been saying online the last few
00:01:32.040 days. And I feel like it's really ramped up in, in the last maybe 10 days or so. I'm trying to put my
00:01:38.640 finger on what exactly has caused this change. It's just that earlier in the election cycle,
00:01:43.660 I was feeling like, oh, this is going to be a really closer. And I was actually feeling not only
00:01:47.540 that it was going to be a close race, but it was honestly feeling a bit nervous as I was watching
00:01:53.560 things unfold. And I was like, you know what Americans they're really falling for this.
00:01:58.700 They're really falling for this Kamala Harris act. This woman has no plans. All she cares about is
00:02:03.720 murdering little babies still in their mother's womb, but Americans really seem to be falling for
00:02:08.840 this strain. And I was, I was fairly stunned. And in the last 10 days, two weeks, I just noticed a
00:02:15.100 shift. It probably started from the debate performance when eventually it turned out that
00:02:19.300 did not swing those undecided voters in favor of Kamala Harris. And, and it ramped up, I think
00:02:25.460 really with the Butler Pennsylvania rally, which was such a strong show of strength and courage
00:02:31.060 from Donald Trump that he was willing to go back to the exact place where he had literally been like
00:02:36.340 millimeters from death a few weeks back. Elon Musk, one of the biggest names in the world showed up to
00:02:43.280 show his support for Donald Trump, ended up speaking on stage, talking about how this would be
00:02:48.940 America's last election. If the Republicans lost, it's interesting to hear Musk use that language
00:02:55.160 because it's the type of language that we hear a lot from the left. Oh, you know, Donald Trump,
00:02:59.160 he's going to end democracy. If he gets into office, we're never going to have another election
00:03:03.980 ever again, because he's not going to let people vote. And they try to twist Trump's words to make
00:03:09.360 it sound like that, what he said, or just to remove context from them, which is sort of what the media
00:03:13.720 most often does. What media should do is provide relevant and necessary context so that you
00:03:18.920 at home can understand the story best as possible, but they do the opposite. They take things out of
00:03:24.180 context to make, you know, Republicans and conservatives seem really weird and, and to seem,
00:03:29.140 you know, like they have untoward efforts or desires. What Elon Musk was actually referring
00:03:34.320 to there is he was talking about how if Kamala Harris was president, she was going to let in so
00:03:38.820 many illegal aliens because, you know, their votes would be so washed down by all the illegal aliens
00:03:44.440 that have led into the country. As we know, she is in huge favor. She's in huge support of her open
00:03:49.420 border policies of the Haitian migrants coming into the country. And all of that really threatens the
00:03:54.660 foundation of America's democracy. Similarly, like we are seeing here in Canada, although with
00:03:59.660 immigrants of different descent. So anyways, as I've said before, Sue Ann Levy, True North columnist,
00:04:05.480 she's here today to discuss. Sue Ann, welcome to the show once again.
00:04:09.360 Thank you very much. Nice to be on. So this is something that you have personally experienced
00:04:17.240 with people that you know, online, you have been, you know, firsthand a victim of Trump derangement
00:04:23.020 syndrome, which sounds funny. You're obviously not Donald Trump himself, but this has impacted you.
00:04:27.460 Why don't you tell me a little bit about why this topic in particular was so near and dear to your
00:04:32.380 heart this week? Well, I was in Italy a couple of weeks ago, and I made the big mistake of,
00:04:38.020 um, it was actually somebody who was involved with a synagogue. I grew up with in, uh, in,
00:04:44.780 in Hamilton, Ontario. Um, she posted how wonderful Kamala was. She was going to save the world.
00:04:51.220 And I made the mistake of going on. I was in Venice. I could, you know, I still remember doing it.
00:04:56.500 How stupid am I? I went on and I said, I don't know how liberal Jews can vote for Kamala. They're not,
00:05:03.680 he, she's not going to be supportive of Israel. And we've seen it because she didn't go to Netanyahu's
00:05:09.820 speech, uh, to Congress. Anyway, I was attacked for 12 hours, Rachel. Like, uh, I was called stupid,
00:05:18.160 uh, unethical, immoral, uh, you know, my intelligence. How could I, I don't have any
00:05:24.540 intelligence. This subsequently, and then I was blocked by this woman who said that I had disrupted
00:05:30.080 her dinner party. These people are all like crazy flakes. Then a couple of days ago, I did the
00:05:36.560 same thing with another liberal Jew. And, um, she said, I used to be intelligent. I am no longer
00:05:42.580 intelligent. So this is, that's how you know that they've lost you. You said something I disagree
00:05:49.440 with. You're no longer intelligent. I used to think you were, but now that you've challenged
00:05:54.160 my own viewpoints and the status quo, you're dumb. Exactly. I mean, you can't even present facts.
00:06:01.620 I mean, I, I consider myself pretty, uh, well-informed. I mean, I covered politics for over
00:06:06.960 20 years. And I say this to these people, well, you once were informed, you're not informed anymore,
00:06:12.640 I'm told. And they, they pull out every personal attack they can think of. And it's just crazy because
00:06:20.880 they don't want to hear it. They just want to put their hands up to their ears and pretend
00:06:24.280 that the facts are not the facts and that Kamala is some guardian angels coming to come down from
00:06:31.060 the sky. Look, I'm going to tell you, I am not, you know, I don't think Trump is pretty, but I said
00:06:37.340 to myself a long time ago, you know, a couple of weeks ago that I think that with the world in such
00:06:43.380 dismay and so much chaos that he is going to be the kind of person who is going to make things
00:06:51.760 better for us, our quality of life, global affairs. And all one has to do is look at his last four
00:06:58.760 years, but voters have very short memories. Yeah. Look at the last four years and then look at where
00:07:04.620 we're at now on the brink of, it seems world war three, America actually getting dragged into a really
00:07:09.760 ugly war in the middle East. Don't think Americans want that. Don't think Americans are interested in
00:07:14.680 it. I'm going to share a personal experience of my own of Trump derangement syndrome. As I mentioned
00:07:20.560 to my viewers, I think last week on this show, I was in Florida for hurricane Helene. Ironically,
00:07:26.180 I'd actually flown down to attend two of the Tucker Carlson events. He just sort of wrapped up his
00:07:31.980 big tour in the States and at, um, and anyway, so I was in Florida for that. And I was, I was walking
00:07:38.880 around and I kind of just ended up in a conversation with a gentleman. This was outside of the event,
00:07:42.900 not related to the event. And, you know, we started talking about politics and he was like,
00:07:47.440 Oh, you know, I, um, I messaged, he found out I was from Canada. He's like, I messaged my friend
00:07:51.320 over in Toronto. And I asked him, do you still have that spare bedroom for me? Because if Trump gets in,
00:07:57.540 I'm going to need it. And, and, you know, there was a time in my life when I would have just sort of
00:08:02.600 like, Oh, ha ha. Like, you know, I, I would have just sort of just laughed about it or, you know,
00:08:08.120 said, Oh yeah, like not even ball. I, there was a time in my life where I wouldn't have engaged.
00:08:13.620 And I've just kind of the end of my rope with these people that are so ignorant and especially
00:08:19.180 with Donald Trump and just the ways that they've been lied to, especially in the comparison to
00:08:23.440 Kamala Harris. Like it's so obvious who the better choices to me, I really just didn't have the
00:08:28.560 patience. And so I just sort of looked at him and I said, yeah, you Americans, you're always
00:08:32.460 saying you're going to move to Canada. If the politician you don't like wins and you never
00:08:37.760 actually do. And, you know, he was really taken off guard. He was like, Oh, we were, he thought
00:08:41.900 we were having a bit of a nice conversation. But at this point I just, I was frustrated. I was,
00:08:45.800 I was a bit deflated and how the conversation had turned. And then he starts talking about how
00:08:49.680 Canadians loved just how much Canadians love Justin Trudeau. And I was like, Canadians don't love
00:08:55.080 Justin Trudeau. Canadians hate Justin Trudeau. Canadians are desperate for a federal election so they can
00:09:00.380 get rid of him. And he goes, well, like you guys really used to like him a lot. And I was just
00:09:04.720 like, no, I never did. I never supported him. I never voted for him. I'll say it right here on
00:09:10.080 this show. I never voted for him. I never will. And, and, you know, he just, he was a bit taken
00:09:14.420 back and he was like, and I started telling him about how the prices in Canada have gone up even
00:09:18.080 more so than they have in the States, the average price of a home. Young people can't purchase homes,
00:09:21.900 you know, average price of home being like half a million dollars in a lot of parts of the country.
00:09:24.940 Like these are not, this is not feasible. This is not affordable. And he goes, yeah, the economy is really bad.
00:09:29.600 That's why, that's why I'm voting for Kamala Harris. And I say, so, so sorry, the person
00:09:36.080 who's been the vice president, who's actually had the power to do something about it for the last
00:09:39.740 four years, the potentially second most powerful person in the free world, you're voting for her
00:09:45.260 because she didn't do anything for the last four years when she was able to do something. And he
00:09:49.420 looks at me, not a hint of irony in his vote, in his voice, not a hint of humor. And he says,
00:09:54.700 well, you know, Biden really kept her out of all that stuff. There are people who genuinely believe
00:10:00.760 this lie that they're being fed by the mainstream press in the States that Kamala Harris had no
00:10:06.720 influence in American policy in anything in the last four years.
00:10:11.740 Well, that's a total lie because she keeps talking about being the last person in the room.
00:10:16.840 And if you watched a press conference with Biden a couple of days ago, he came in, he was,
00:10:23.080 I think he was really pissed off that she had taken credit for him, you know, helping out people in the
00:10:30.040 hurricane ravaged areas. Not very well, I might add, but he came in first time he showed up at a press
00:10:36.280 conference and he just said, you know, Kamala has been at my side the whole time. And we, you heard it
00:10:42.520 from the horse's mouth. So it's, and I have to believe with respect to the Israel situation,
00:10:48.440 she's cozied up to those awful people in the democratic party, like Ilan Omar and all those
00:10:54.480 people who hate Jews. So, you know what, that's a pile of bunk. I knew they were really desperate
00:11:00.880 when they started calling in Obama this week. And if you listen to her talk, it's like, I don't know,
00:11:07.680 she's got the pearl earrings with the, the, uh, the headpiece that they've been talking about.
00:11:14.040 But if you hear her talk, it sounds like it's straight out of Obama's mouth. It's just incredible.
00:11:19.420 Like that woman cannot formulate a single sentence properly.
00:11:24.220 It's funny when you talk about the stuff with Biden kind of like continuously undermining,
00:11:28.660 like even the fact that he had a mega hat, like he was photographed with a mega hat on and then he was
00:11:33.240 seen carrying it. And everyone's kind of like, these pictures aren't edited. Like this
00:11:37.180 actually happened. I think everyone's like, you know, is he just so pissed that he got forced out
00:11:41.980 and now he's trying to get it? Like, it seems like that's definitely possible. My only hesitation on
00:11:47.080 that thought is, is he still with it enough to even like be like upset that he was taken out to the
00:11:53.280 point that he's now able to plan, you know, sort of this, this vengeance, this comeback. Like,
00:11:58.040 I'm not saying that he's not, I'm just, I'm not sure, but I think there's some real possibility
00:12:02.040 here for Biden to have a bit of like a redemption arc. If he, um, continues to undermine
00:12:06.600 Kamala and to just say like, you know, this woman, you know, she's useless. She hasn't done anything,
00:12:11.100 or maybe she has been involved in these bad decisions, but I don't know. There's something
00:12:14.540 about what Biden's been doing the last couple of weeks that I'm just like, I feel, I feel myself
00:12:18.500 sort of softening towards him. It's all a bit humorous to, to watch unfold. And, you know,
00:12:23.340 even though I think he was a horrible person in his life and he was a horrible politician in the
00:12:29.800 policies that he passed in the way that it harmed the American people, it's hard to just hold,
00:12:33.920 you know, he's such an old frail man. Like it's hard to just not watch things unfold and just to
00:12:38.200 feel a little bit bad for him in the way that he himself has been used and manipulated. And really
00:12:42.640 the way that he's been hung out to dry by his own wife, like the person who should really be the
00:12:47.380 number one person who should be protecting you and caring for you and looking out for you.
00:12:50.900 He's just been brutally used and manipulated by Dr. Jill. So that's all been very sad and full.
00:12:56.340 Let's play a couple of clips. We've pulled a couple of clips of people and, you know,
00:13:00.120 their Trump derangement syndrome. The first one here, this is from Keith Overman. I talked to you
00:13:04.640 guys a little bit about Elon Musk speaking at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally with Donald Trump.
00:13:09.860 And that was so well received. It was such a powerful moment. I'm sure you guys have seen
00:13:13.820 the imagery. Elon Musk walking behind stage on Trump and literally like jumps in the air with
00:13:20.280 just sheer joy and happiness. Like it was very odd and wholesome and joyful all at the same time.
00:13:26.300 And then he delivered this really powerful speech talking about how Donald Trump is someone who
00:13:30.960 shows, who has really revealed himself to, to hold his convictions and to be courageous under
00:13:36.480 pressure. And I don't think most of us know how we would react if we were shot at, not even to
00:13:43.580 mention live on stage. I don't know how I'd react. Probably not very well. You at home, you probably
00:13:48.200 wouldn't react very well. There's the occasional odd person who might be able to really withstand that
00:13:52.480 pressure and to hold their composure and act with grace and courage, but that's not really the
00:13:57.700 average person. And obviously, you know, Donald Trump did all those things. He got back on his
00:14:02.960 feet. He, he pushed his way through his secret service agents so he could pump his fist in the
00:14:07.140 air. Like most people would be like cowering in fear and desperate to get away and out of that
00:14:11.360 environment. And so, you know, Elon Musk really talked about how Trump is someone who showed how he can
00:14:17.500 handle the pressure. Meanwhile, you know, Biden is falling down the stairs. Um, so that was really
00:14:22.860 well-received. I think it was a really powerful moment. We talk about the momentum building for
00:14:26.880 the Republicans. Like that was a huge moment that contributed to that onslaught of momentum,
00:14:31.920 but like JD Vance, another thing like that vice presidential debate performance was so strong. So
00:14:36.680 this is why I'm looking at the campaign and I'm saying, I'm really seeing that initially I thought maybe
00:14:42.880 Americans were buying into the Kamala Harris lie and the Kamala Harris narrative. And I think more
00:14:48.660 and more people are rejecting it because their lives are so difficult. Things are so unaffordable.
00:14:53.580 They're afraid to go out into the streets of their own cities in some cases. And they're also afraid
00:14:57.200 of the threat of war that loomed. And so meanwhile, you know, we've had a lot of really big moments
00:15:03.040 with the Republicans. I think momentum is building for that campaign. And now I think we're seeing
00:15:07.860 the left really become desperate and that's when they become the most crazy. And it can be in many
00:15:12.800 cases the most entertaining to watch. If you guys are checked out of the American election cycle,
00:15:17.320 this is probably the best time to really check back in and start paying attention because you're
00:15:21.700 going to see some really hilarious and humorous and, you know, maybe potentially historical moments
00:15:27.380 happen next coming week. So here's Keith Oberman reacting to Elon Musk's speech at the Trump campaign
00:15:33.200 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Take a look. Time to cancel all the contracts and reassess his immigration
00:15:38.800 status and hopefully deport him the hell out of the country. And if we can't do that by conventional
00:15:44.820 means, President Biden, you have presidential immunity. Get Elon Musk the F out of our country
00:15:51.800 and do it now. Let's get rid of the person who's creating thousands of jobs, who's really reinventing
00:15:59.860 the future of electric vehicles, who's really reinventing the future of space travel potentially,
00:16:06.060 who's really made it so that here in Canada, in rural Canada, in rural America, we can have amazing
00:16:12.080 and affordable internet access. I literally interviewed Todd Lowen in rural Alberta this
00:16:17.380 week and he interviewed me from his truck in rural Alberta because he had Starlink on his truck.
00:16:22.380 Like how amazing and impressive that like Elon Musk, I'm such a big Elon Musk fan. I've even considered
00:16:27.760 that I am like slightly attracted to the idea of owning a cyber truck, which I know is very
00:16:32.500 controversial. Some people think it's ugly. I saw a bunch of them when I was in Florida
00:16:35.520 and I was like, honestly, I like it. Like I could definitely see myself ride. It's actually like
00:16:41.600 a cool looking vehicle. Like I like, my mom hated it. She thought it was so ugly. I don't know. I'm
00:16:45.420 just saying cyber truck might be in my future. I'm not sure about the electric vehicle battery. I think
00:16:49.560 that's my one area of concern, but it's just so like, we're going to go after Elon Musk as someone
00:16:54.560 who's actually creating jobs and opportunity in the American economy, which is so desperate for that
00:17:00.240 right now. It's almost too much to handle. You just can't take these people seriously. What's your
00:17:04.280 take? Don't, don't forget that Elon Musk was the one who sent in all those Starlink
00:17:09.200 equipment to North Carolina so that they could get, you know, Donald Trump asked him and within
00:17:16.420 hours, it was there, not even hours. And so that North Carolina, the people who are stuck still in
00:17:23.920 the mountains and whose homes have either gone away or, you know, blown away or whatever,
00:17:29.640 have internet access. They can reach people. I mean, it's a pretty scary situation.
00:17:35.120 And I think, you know, people like Keith Olbermann are very upset with the fact that Trump was on the
00:17:41.500 scene when the hurricane happened right away in Georgia and then went to North Carolina and it took
00:17:47.560 Kamala several days. And of course, Biden, the one you feel sorry for. And you know what? He does
00:17:53.860 have Alzheimer's. It's obvious because I had a father with Alzheimer's. He was at the beach house
00:18:01.380 all weekend when North Carolina was blowing away. So it's, you know, Keith Olbermann is upset because
00:18:09.680 people are starting to realize they're not being manipulated, as you say, that the Republicans are
00:18:16.320 care about people. And, you know, Rachel, when I see them comment, when I see Kamala talk and I see
00:18:23.860 others in the media call them a threat to democracy and this and that, I'm thinking like the world is
00:18:29.740 upside down. It's topsy-turvy. They engage in so much projection. It's unreal.
00:18:36.660 Yeah. So let's talk a little bit about Trump's response to North Carolina. I feel like Trump has
00:18:41.980 always been very strong on responses to, you know, whether it's devastating natural, natural storms
00:18:50.360 or, you know, in cases of the military, when there's been a death in the military, he, you know,
00:18:54.300 often he will call the family or make an effort to call, you know, in some cases they might not want
00:18:59.140 that, but often he'll make an effort to call. And this is often even kept very private. Like if you
00:19:03.400 look, you can find stories of, of widows saying, or moms who've lost their son saying, oh, Trump called me.
00:19:08.600 But that's not usually highly reported on. And I don't think it's usually advertised a ton, which
00:19:12.600 is obviously quite appropriate in the case of a death, but he's usually quick on the scene in
00:19:16.980 those cases. And like, anytime you talk to Americans, sometimes at his rallies, I'll just
00:19:20.980 go talk to people. Why are you here? It's amazing. Sometimes the personal stories I hear of someone
00:19:25.920 who will say, this is the way that, you know, Donald Trump impacted my family. A lot of times it's
00:19:30.100 much more personal than I would have expected. It's not like, oh, well, you know, he did good things
00:19:34.480 for the economy. It's, oh, well, this happened in my family. And Trump called me to talk about
00:19:38.300 it. I'm like, wait, what? Like, that's so crazy. Like this is someone who actually genuinely
00:19:42.040 loves and cares for the American people. But when we're talking about Hurricane Helene, I
00:19:47.180 mean, it's just devastating now that we have Hurricane, I believe it's Hurricane Milton coming.
00:19:51.320 It's also going to be running through the Tampa area. It'll be going from west to east. So
00:19:56.440 it'll be going from Tampa and then sort of across the Florida, the little kind of, if Florida's
00:20:01.540 the little key, they'll be going across to Jacksonville. But there is going to be a lot
00:20:04.480 of devastation in some of the same areas. So obviously a very difficult circumstance.
00:20:08.500 Now, we're talking about Biden and I'm saying to you, you know, I feel that I've sort of softened
00:20:14.420 towards Biden. And you're like, well, you know, makes sense because it's so clear to anyone watching
00:20:18.360 that he's just not really there mentally. He has Alzheimer's. Some people think he has dementia.
00:20:22.660 You know, he has a degenerative disease and it's very sad watching him. I think that the American
00:20:27.520 people are picking up on that too. You know, he can't, he doesn't remember where he is. He doesn't
00:20:32.380 remember what he's talking about. I think any normal person watching it doesn't even necessarily
00:20:36.140 feel as much anger towards him anymore as it's just really sad to watch. But then it would only
00:20:41.200 be natural that they would put the responsibility on Kamala Harris, for example, to respond in cases
00:20:47.780 like Hurricane Helene. And so I think Hurricane Helene has been so devastating for the Democrats and for
00:20:53.480 the Biden Harris administration. And now, with them basically saying they're out of money for
00:20:57.640 Americans because they've spent people on asylum seekers. $750. I know you have more to say about
00:21:02.700 this, but they told survivors and victims of Hurricane Helene that they would be eligible for
00:21:07.400 $750. That's it. That's it. And you're not even getting, getting the money in some cases.
00:21:15.620 It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace. And I've heard some people, well, they have to apply for it.
00:21:19.820 And I don't know if you heard the latest that FEMA was meeting, and they were saying that they were
00:21:26.260 going to help LGBTQIA people first, because they were, you know, they're obviously oppressed more
00:21:34.160 than the rest of, you know, the residents of North Carolina or wherever. I mean, this organization is
00:21:42.460 just so bureaucratic, so much red tape, and no one's really in charge. But yeah, they've given
00:21:50.800 the money to illegals, to the immigrants coming in. And in fact, Kamala denied it. And there's tape
00:21:59.600 that was pulled out from 2020, I believe, where she said they were going to give, oh, no, it was
00:22:05.860 Corrine Jean-Pierre. That's the White House spokeswoman who walked out on the CNN, and not
00:22:14.600 the CNN, the Fox News reporter yesterday, because he was pressing her, you know, giving her hard
00:22:20.280 questions on this. But I mean, it's outrageous that they spent money on illegal immigrants and
00:22:29.280 didn't keep it for these kinds of situations. America first. And this is what's going to resonate
00:22:35.160 with people around the United States. As, you know, Trump talks about America first, you're paying
00:22:41.980 high taxes, and you're giving money to people who are illegally crossing the border. I mean,
00:22:47.060 something's really wrong with that picture. So while you're talking about this topic of America
00:22:52.200 first, some people, some crazy people on TikTok might call it American selfishness. Let's take a look
00:22:58.020 at this next TikTok that we found. Here's another example of Trump derangement syndrome. Take a look
00:23:03.100 at this. Who else is still shocked that Donald Trump has a chance at getting into the White House?
00:23:09.100 I'm disheartened. I'd like to think I understand America at least a little. But when you see just
00:23:19.360 how he treats people around him, and when you see how he manipulates the media, and when you see
00:23:26.140 how disrespectful he is to women and how little he cares about the common person, how much for himself
00:23:33.380 and how little for everyone else, is America really this selfish? Is that us culturally? Is America
00:23:42.220 a selfish asshole?
00:23:44.280 Maybe. So I'm gonna ignore all the rather obviously false attacks she made against Trump. Let's just
00:23:53.760 put that all to the side for a minute. You guys can unpack that for yourselves at home. And let's talk
00:23:58.220 about how she calls America selfish. We have this exact same problem here in Canada. The issue is not
00:24:04.680 that our governments are selfish, or that our people are selfish. It's actually that we don't think about
00:24:11.760 ourselves enough. Canadians don't put Canadians first enough. The Canadian government doesn't put
00:24:16.920 Canadians first enough. The same situation is happening in the States. It's so out of control
00:24:22.700 in America, like in Canada, that we've now gotten to a point where a devastating hurricane comes through
00:24:29.340 and decimates entire towns and villages, washes people's home away, that the government looks at
00:24:35.340 American people who have spent their entire life paying into a system, paying taxes, and looks at
00:24:41.820 them and they say, we can give you 750 bucks. That's enough to cover the damage, right? Because all of the
00:24:47.980 money has gone to asylum seekers or not American citizens who have not spent their entire life working
00:24:54.060 and paying into a system that should be there for them the one time they actually need it.
00:24:59.580 That's, in fact, how not selfish the American government is. And it's a really big problem.
00:25:04.140 It's a really big problem in America. And it's a really big problem in Canada.
00:25:07.660 Exactly. And this is what people should be looking at when they choose to cast their vote,
00:25:13.740 how they handle, how they behave in crises. I saw footage of Kamala, you know, allegedly Trump is selfish,
00:25:22.300 blah, blah, blah, blah. I saw footage of Kamala turning up like she had to, you know, reluctantly
00:25:28.460 and handing out bags. And this black woman was speaking to her about how her life has been turned
00:25:32.860 upside down. And she couldn't look more bored, more disinterested. You know, it's not just the word
00:25:38.700 salas she emotes, but it's the body language, her body language. And, you know, it's the problem is
00:25:48.620 that you've got these people that we've posted. And that woman that we just post is like the every
00:25:56.300 person, the every Democrat, who's just like slow information voter doesn't have any insight. But
00:26:04.620 they, the media has manipulated them, and people are not using their own brains to think about.
00:26:12.460 And then you've got people like The View, and I know you've got a clip from The View, who had Kamala
00:26:19.980 on today, actually had Kamala on. And they, the misinformation and the fawning over her. And it's,
00:26:30.220 it's just the media, I thought the media in Canada was biased. But boy, oh boy, the states,
00:26:37.900 they actually are activists, they're actually certain, they should be signing up as activists,
00:26:44.780 they should not be considered themselves journalists.
00:26:47.100 Yeah, the American press is truly something to behold. I have to say, I tend to side with you on
00:26:51.740 that, like the Canadian media is so bad. And then you go into the States, and you're like,
00:26:55.020 oh, they, they're not even trying to hide it here. Like, it's somehow so much worse, which is like,
00:27:00.860 kind of stunning thing to say, because it's already pretty bad here in Canada.
00:27:04.460 Talking about The View, they did a whole segment really praising Liz Cheney for giving an endorsement
00:27:11.100 of Kamala Harris. You know, we're talking about Trump derangement syndrome, we see it from the
00:27:15.420 average American voter who watches too much CBS. We see it from, we see it from Democrats, we see it
00:27:21.020 from the media, we see it from American commentators. We also see it from some so-called Republicans,
00:27:26.060 who I think are holding on to the bygone era of the Republican Party that, you know, Republican voters are
00:27:33.020 not interested in anymore. And like, when we talk about Trump, you know, he's such a change. And that
00:27:37.260 was really hard for people to grasp in 2016. And some people like Liz Cheney just haven't been able
00:27:42.780 to accept that this is the direction the party has chosen for this moment in America right now.
00:27:48.460 Here she is giving her endorsement of Kamala Harris. Take a look.
00:27:51.740 Never voted for a Democrat. But this year, I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala
00:28:00.380 Harris.
00:28:00.780 So I guess when I see a clip like this, what I wonder is what the impact is and whether it
00:28:07.580 matters. Initially, I think my initial reaction to this type of thing is probably won't sway many
00:28:13.180 people. But when we look at the vice versa, when we look at prominent Democrats giving their support
00:28:17.580 for Trump, I think a lot of people I've spoken to have said, you know, I think this actually does
00:28:21.180 matter. And I have seen a little bit of commentary online of people saying, I will be voting for
00:28:25.660 Donald Trump because I started paying attention and reading into it more and doing my own research
00:28:30.540 after he received an endorsement from, after he received an endorsement from people like
00:28:37.980 Tulsi. Tulsi Gabbard. Yeah, thank you. The name was slipping my mind. And so vice versa,
00:28:43.180 I wonder if this is happening in, you know, in Republican circles where they're like, I would
00:28:48.300 never vote for Kamala Harris. And they're like, Oh, well, Liz Cheney is endorsing her. Does this have
00:28:52.780 any impact? I think that if people I mean, I'm very disappointed with the intellect of some Americans.
00:29:00.860 But I think if people really thought about it, a lot of the people who've pulled away from Trump
00:29:06.540 are insiders who know that their days are numbered. They know that under a Trump,
00:29:14.060 presidency, they're not going to do very well. Same with the media. They know that
00:29:19.660 they're going to be sidelined under a Trump presidency. And I just laugh because too bad
00:29:26.300 your agenda, you never covered anything objectively too bad for you. I think that I really hope and feel
00:29:34.700 that there are a lot of lean in voters who don't want to say in polls that they're voting for Trump
00:29:40.060 because of the Trump derangement syndrome. I mean, I think I told you before we got on the air that
00:29:46.460 there are people in country clubs in Florida that won't talk to each other because one is Democrat,
00:29:52.460 one is Republican, and never the twain shall meet. I know a friend of mine, she can't talk to her
00:29:59.180 friends about Trump. I mean, it's crazy.
00:30:03.340 It's really the case that politics has become the new religion. People care about political values
00:30:08.620 more than they tend to care about religious beliefs if they even hold any at all.
00:30:13.420 And if you don't believe that, I mean, you need to look no further back than COVID, which was really
00:30:17.500 political if nothing else. And to see how people treated each other if they weren't vaccinated or
00:30:21.820 different masks and the way that that divided some families in some cases irreparably, there are still
00:30:26.460 people who lost essentially their family because of COVID. And that is a very crazy thing to say,
00:30:31.980 but it is true. With the Liz Cheney endorsement of Kamala Harris, I think my sort of lingering
00:30:38.460 thoughts on it are that you have to take it by a case by case basis. Is Liz Cheney someone who actually
00:30:43.100 has a following? Are there many people who really care about what she has to say and are watching
00:30:47.820 her closely and saying, hmm, she raised this point, I'm going to give it more thought? Or is she sort of
00:30:53.740 like a nobody who's clinging on to the last little bit of popularity due to her family name? In the case
00:30:59.740 of Tulsi Gabbard, she actually ran for the nomination for the Democrat presidential nomination against
00:31:06.060 Kamala Harris. So she still has some relevancy. And I think that she's been working hard. She does a lot of
00:31:10.300 media. She had that appearance on the Tucker Carlson tour this year. So she still has quite a big
00:31:16.060 following. I think she's very relevant right now. I think she's incredibly smart and interesting to
00:31:21.100 listen to. She's so articulate. And she put out an endorsement of Donald Trump that was just really
00:31:25.580 something to behold, talking about how the American bureaucracy is now going after people who they
00:31:33.020 disagree with politically. And obviously the American bureaucracy has been doing that for years, but she
00:31:36.780 painted a very clear picture of exactly how that's working. Likewise, the other name that was
00:31:41.500 slipping my mind earlier is RFK Jr. You know, he's someone who has a lot of prominence in Democrat
00:31:46.380 circles and just a lot of popularity in America. Yes, partly because of his last name, but also he's
00:31:51.500 someone who used his last name to sort of launch himself into relevancy. And he doesn't just cling to his
00:31:56.780 his famous last name as his only source of relevancy. He's actually very interesting and he cares so much
00:32:01.420 about health and he talks about really the problems with the American food supply system and all the
00:32:07.580 ways that the food is processed to create really an unhealthy society. And that's something that's
00:32:11.260 very near and dear to his heart, which ultimately led to him endorsing Trump. So these two individuals
00:32:16.300 specifically, I think they do have relevancy and popularity and I think they do have big followings.
00:32:22.300 I just don't know that it's really the same comparison. We talked about Liz Cheney. I don't know
00:32:25.820 if there's that many people who are following her and are interested in what she has to say. Some,
00:32:29.420 I'm sure. I just don't know that it would be enough to really move the needle.
00:32:33.180 I don't think so. I'm just going to tell you a really quick anecdote about RFK Jr.
00:32:38.780 We're on the train, same trip to Italy, and my poor wife got stuck with a bunch of
00:32:44.220 Trump derangement syndrome types. And they're talking about how awful he is. And my wife started
00:32:50.620 saying, well, you know, how can you not like RFK Jr? He's pushing healthy eating. And we saw that
00:32:56.620 in Italy, you know, how unprocessed food really affects your, you know, in a good way, your health,
00:33:03.500 um, contrary to North America. And, uh, you know, she was very nice about it. She said,
00:33:09.340 I was a journalist and that she had learned a lot. We get off the train and in the terminal,
00:33:15.100 these ladies are behind us. I don't know if they realized, and they're, they're, they're bad-mouthing
00:33:20.860 here. They're saying, did you hear what she had to say? Did you hear what she had to say? I mean,
00:33:25.100 she was talking about healthy eating. Yeah. In those types of instances,
00:33:30.140 the best thing to do is just before you're ready to walk away, tap them on the shoulder,
00:33:33.180 have a nice day. And then they'll be like, oh my goodness, that's so embarrassing.
00:33:37.100 All right, everyone. That's all we have time for today on Rachel in the Republic. My challenge to all
00:33:41.180 of you is post your favorite examples of Trump derangement syndrome in the comment section below.
00:33:45.900 So Anne and I will take a sift through them just for a good laugh. As I mentioned,
00:33:50.380 I think the campaign is going to be getting very spicy. Definitely cue in now,
00:33:54.620 if you haven't been already to pay attention, I'm sure there's going to be some hilarious and
00:33:58.220 legendary and epic moments in the days and weeks to come. And we will be sure to bring them all to
00:34:02.700 you on Rachel in the Republic. Have a great week and God bless.
00:34:15.900 great week.
00:34:29.660 Yeah.
00:34:31.660 All right.
00:34:34.880 All right.
