00:01:58.000 We actually have a seat, a booth, right down there in Milwaukee, where Gerald was, which of course means Indian burial ground.

00:02:04.000 Milwaukee in our native tongue.

00:02:07.000 And any candidates who have the stones to sit down, we'll have.

00:02:10.000 I think we have Vivek semi-confirmed.

00:02:12.000 I think Darren's just going to grab him and walk him over.

00:02:16.000 His feet won't even touch the ground.

00:02:17.000 Like Fellow.

00:02:34.000 Who do you think will be a front-runner?

00:02:36.000 We're going to give you some predictions here tonight kind of go through what we think are the need-to-knows and by that I mean none of it is really necessary None of it's a need to know, and I don't know why you would want to know it, but it pays to be informed.

00:02:49.000 We have G. Morgan Jr.

00:02:51.000 here with me.

00:02:51.000 How are you, sir?

00:02:52.000 I'm doing well.

00:02:53.000 Fresh off a flight from Milwaukee to get back here.

00:02:55.000 It's a horrible town.

00:02:56.000 I mean, I don't say it from an elitist point of view as far as it being flyover.

00:03:01.000 It's just a very bad place.

00:03:02.000 It has bad beer lists at a lot of places.

00:03:04.000 I had to go to four different spots to get a good beer.

00:03:07.000 You're not a fan of Old Milwaukee or Grain Belt?

00:03:09.000 No, it was all that kind of stuff and I was like, I just thought this was Midwestern Beer Town.

00:03:13.000 You don't like Iron City Lights? 0.99

00:03:14.000 What are you, an ASS? 0.99

00:03:17.000 Can I get a triple or a quad somewhere? 1.00

00:03:18.000 I don't know, something?

00:03:20.000 What is that?

00:03:21.000 Oh, I should mention that.

00:03:22.000 First off, of course you have here today, I guess not third chair, it's like a joint chair.

00:03:26.000 He's like a Siamese twin growing out of my shoulder.

00:03:28.000 A gargoyle, really.

00:03:31.000 Nick, I can't imagine.

00:03:32.000 I'm excited about that.

00:03:33.000 I've almost seen it.

00:03:35.000 Nick DiPaolo, who, by the way, you have his date right there.

00:03:37.000 You can go to September 15th at Rob's Comedy Playhouse.

00:03:42.000 There's a name.

00:03:43.000 NickDip.com and his show is live on Mug Club Monday through Thursday, 5 p.m.

00:03:47.000 and you're recovering from the vid.

00:03:49.000 Yes, I'm getting over the vid.

00:03:51.000 Luckily I scored some, uh, what was it?

00:03:54.000 Ivermectin.

00:03:54.000 I think it was a point guard.

00:03:56.000 But yeah, I scored some Ivermectin and some Hoxychloroform.

00:04:06.000 Did you use it on yourself?

00:04:07.000 I got it from an Asian kid in front of the subway back there.

00:04:11.000 I feel better already, so I want to thank whoever got that for me.

00:04:14.000 Yeah, we have no idea that wouldn't be in this studio.

00:04:16.000 So hey, before we go on to giving our predictions, we were down there in Milwaukee and you actually, well you set this up for people, we actually got an interview or semi-interview with Vivek already.

00:04:27.000 Yeah, we did.

00:04:28.000 So Vivek actually had a bus set up.

00:04:29.000 He had a really, really cool set up right there, right in front of Oh, one thing, sorry, really quickly.

00:04:34.000 First off, Tim, can you put that down in the lower third there, just whatever, the stream, so people know that we'll be bringing it up.

00:04:40.000 And there will be a pre-taped interview that Tucker Carlson is uploading to his Twitter, to his ex with Donald Trump.

00:04:45.000 I think they're airing it as a live stream, but we know it's pre-taped.

00:04:47.000 And we will be covering that as well with the highlights, so you can get it all here in this one place.

00:04:51.000 Sorry, Gerald, to cut you off.

00:04:52.000 No, no, no, you're fine.

00:04:52.000 He actually had a really cool setup with his bus and his team set up like this exclusive event for everybody.

00:04:57.000 He was the one person who did something cool at this event.

00:05:00.000 All the other candidates just kind of were getting into town, kind of there, and so we had one of our guys go into this.

00:05:05.000 They had the all-access pass courtesy of Rumble.

00:05:07.000 Hey, we didn't give that back.

00:05:08.000 Sorry about that, guys.

00:05:11.000 Did you say Vivek was cool?

00:05:13.000 His setup was cool.

00:05:14.000 Like he's an Indian Fonzie? 0.91

00:05:17.000 He had a lot of really, like, it was a very nice setup.

00:05:20.000 I would go to it and be like, oh, this is cool.

00:05:22.000 They had a beer garden there.

00:05:23.000 Maybe that's why all the other places had crappy beer, all the good beer was at that place.

00:05:27.000 But we asked him some questions because, you know, you guys want to know what these guys actually think about some of the stuff that Alex Jones was reporting on with COVID and mass elections.

00:05:34.000 And we got up close and personal with him and he had some good answers.

00:05:38.000 Okay, all right, well let's go.

00:05:39.000 Well, by the way, I guess before that we should let you know the drinking game rules as we have for every single live debate stream.

00:05:44.000 Bring them up.

00:05:45.000 Drinking game rules.

00:05:46.000 Boom.

00:05:46.000 Anytime, and you'll hear this ding, anytime President Trump is mentioned, you drink.

00:05:51.000 Anytime 2020 January 6th is mentioned, ding, you drink.

00:05:54.000 Anytime a moderator cuts off or interrupts a candidate, Yeah, but they're going to be infighting tonight.

00:05:59.000 which I expect to probably take, it probably most likely will come from Vivek,

00:06:02.000 could be from Ron DeSantis.

00:06:04.000 And then you finish your drink anytime a candidate mentions a Democrat other than Biden.

00:06:09.000 Oh gosh, this is- I don't think it's gonna happen a whole lot.

00:06:12.000 No, yes, what are you talking about?

00:06:13.000 You think they're gonna mention other Democrats?

00:06:14.000 Yeah. Like who?

00:06:15.000 Like Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer.

00:06:18.000 Why would they mention Gavin Newsom?

00:06:19.000 Because that's who they're gonna be running against.

00:06:20.000 Yeah, but they're gonna be infighting tonight.

00:06:22.000 It's gonna be hillbilly and group.

00:06:23.000 They're gonna be infighting, but the 2020 and Trump, Trump's gonna just,

00:06:27.000 are we really gonna do that Every time they mention Trump or drinking?

00:06:31.000 Yes.

00:06:31.000 Oh Lord.

00:06:31.000 How about every time somebody mentions Chris Christie's lobster bib?

00:06:39.000 What is he going to Gallagher?

00:06:42.000 Heavy cream dripping out of his mouth.

00:06:46.000 I don't think he needs a bib anymore.

00:06:47.000 He's having an IV drip of heavy cream.

00:06:48.000 It is heavy cream.

00:06:49.000 It rises to the top.

00:06:51.000 Hook it to my veins.

00:06:54.000 Let's go to this package that you have from one of our on-the-ground reporters with Vivek earlier and then that'll lead us into our predictions.

00:07:00.000 Yeah, what are your thoughts on the lockdowns that are coming right now that are reported in the news?

00:07:04.000 Hell no.

00:07:05.000 Not going to stand for it?

00:07:06.000 Hell, not no.

00:07:06.000 Hell no.

00:07:07.000 Hell no?

00:07:08.000 Yeah.

00:07:08.000 How about the mail-in voting that's going to come probably after these potential lockdowns?

00:07:12.000 Single-day voting, on election day, pay-per-balance, government-issued ID matches on file, period.

00:07:18.000 I think that's fair.

00:07:19.000 It's my deal.

00:07:19.000 Yeah.

00:07:19.000 Get that?

00:07:20.000 I'm done.

00:07:20.000 Come on.

00:07:21.000 So the fact that they're foreshadowing these mask mandates and everything going on here?

00:07:24.000 Alex Jones reported on it a few days ago from the Whistleblower.

00:07:37.000 I do appreciate, first off I appreciate the baseball cap, but I also appreciate that he gave a straight answer.

00:07:42.000 I like the fact he's holding a baby, nobody know where he got it.

00:07:50.000 This was a, you know, for all of the, there's so many people out there, Trump is the only guy they'll ever look at, and I'm like, look, I get it, but there's also got to be somebody next.

00:08:00.000 If he gets elected, it's going to be for four years maximum.

00:08:03.000 Vivek's a guy who comes out and gives you some very, he said not only no, but hell no.

00:08:08.000 He gives you a little bit different answer, and it doesn't take a whole lot to make people go, oh good, it's authentic.

00:08:13.000 Well, here are a couple of things that I want to go through.

00:08:14.000 By the way, we also do have some other packages.

00:08:16.000 You interviewed Carrie Lake down there.

00:08:17.000 We also have Marjorie Taylor Greene and a few on-the-ground packages.

00:08:20.000 Again, with people who we'll be interviewing, hit the like button.

00:08:22.000 Toolman, I didn't think you let them know to comment below.

00:08:25.000 And do consider signing up at Mug Club.

00:08:27.000 Let's go through the people who are running here, who will be at this debate.

00:08:30.000 You have DeSantis, you have Vivek, you have Nikki Haley, you have Tim Scott, you have Mike Pence, Chris Christie, you have Issa Hutchinson.

00:08:37.000 Oh yeah.

00:08:38.000 William, we'll call him William because every time I read it I think of it as a woman's name.

00:08:41.000 And you have Doug Burgum, who is the, I know he's the governor of North Dakota, but outside of that, no one really cares.

00:08:50.000 But this is what's remarkable here. So who, what do I, here's one thing that I think a lot of other

00:08:54.000 people are missing and I want to hear from you guys. We'll be reading your chats here today.

00:08:58.000 Everyone talks about Donald Trump not going to this, how that benefits him, right? I understand

00:09:03.000 that. Really, if you're leading by double digits, okay. I understand that. It's sort of a risk he

00:09:07.000 doesn't need to take. On the flip side, this is such an act of God.

00:09:14.000 It is an act of mercy, a miracle for everyone else tonight that Donald Trump isn't there.

00:09:19.000 Think about it for a second.

00:09:20.000 If Donald Trump showed up, the best chance they have is maybe gaining some traction right now in his double-digit lead.

00:09:25.000 They would have had no chance if Donald Trump was there because even if he wasn't winning, he would have burned down the whole ship.

00:09:31.000 Think of the primaries.

00:09:32.000 That's when he was the most, right, it was low energy, Yeah, low energy Bush.

00:09:36.000 Small hands Marco and Ted Cruz, your dad killed JFK.

00:09:40.000 Where were you that day?

00:09:41.000 Where were you?

00:09:43.000 No one could prepare for it.

00:09:44.000 Everyone left with blood on their face.

00:09:46.000 The fact that he isn't there.

00:09:47.000 People act as though Donald Trump is just not taking a risk for himself.

00:09:50.000 Why don't we talk about, no one's talking about how much that benefits all of the other candidates.

00:09:54.000 Is it me?

00:09:54.000 No, no, no.

00:09:55.000 I think you're 100% correct.

00:09:56.000 Like these guys, their only shot is to try to get some traction tonight.

00:09:59.000 And if Donald Trump is there, he sucks all the oxygen out of that place.

00:10:02.000 Like everybody's going to be focused on him. 0.86

00:10:04.000 You will really have to land some blows.

00:10:06.000 And Donald Trump is so fast on his feet.

00:10:08.000 It's going to be really, really hard for them to do that.

00:10:10.000 So I think you're right.

00:10:11.000 Like it's a blessing for them, but here's the thing.

00:10:13.000 A number of these guys, this may be one and done for them.

00:10:15.000 Like, they don't have enough support to make it very far.

00:10:17.000 We'll get into some of the campaign numbers, the percentages of where they stand.

00:10:21.000 They're just terrible.

00:10:22.000 Easy with your Morgan and Coke.

00:10:24.000 The drinking game is going to have you in the ICU for crying out loud. 0.92

00:10:27.000 Well, he's a night guy.

00:10:28.000 I thought somebody said Christie.

00:10:28.000 I was just warming up.

00:10:31.000 What is that, donuts?

00:10:32.000 He said it in the mirror three times, hoping a campaign would appear.

00:10:32.000 He did.

00:10:35.000 Delicious.

00:10:36.000 I didn't think I liked Captain Morgan.

00:10:38.000 Sorry Joe, you think that it's really going to be Vivek's night, right?

00:10:41.000 I really do.

00:10:42.000 I think there's going to be a big buzz after this.

00:10:45.000 Everybody's going to be talking about my man.

00:10:46.000 I sent the guy money.

00:10:48.000 I don't do that.

00:10:49.000 You sent Donald Trump money?

00:10:51.000 Or Vivek?

00:10:51.000 I sent Trump money too, not a thing about it.

00:10:53.000 Actually I sent Asa Huston about 50 bucks too.

00:10:56.000 Come on, to drop out of the race?

00:10:58.000 And who else?

00:10:59.000 Tim Scott, I sent him a buck and a half.

00:11:02.000 No, I sent $25 to Vivek.

00:11:06.000 I just, I've yet to go, this guy, he's the most articulate, eloquent, like you said, he's balanced, he's walking that fine line, kind of Trumpian in his, you know, in his point of view.

00:11:19.000 In his approach, and people used to like that about Ron DeSantis.

00:11:22.000 When we talked about Ron DeSantis before he declared for president, yeah, by the way, just to be clear, I like Ron DeSantis.

00:11:28.000 I like Donald Trump.

00:11:29.000 I like Vivek.

00:11:30.000 I think he maybe lacks some foreign policy experience.

00:11:32.000 I would vote for any of these people against Biden, with the exception of Chris Christie.

00:11:36.000 I would write in Nick DiPaolo.

00:11:39.000 I got a vote, by the way, in a presidential election in Minneapolis.

00:11:42.000 Oh, well, my dog and Dean Cain got like 16,000.

00:11:45.000 I'm sorry I brought that up.

00:11:48.000 Yeah, no, I felt guilty for years.

00:11:50.000 Think about that, it's Winstate. 0.89

00:11:52.000 How the piss am I parade, fella? 0.81

00:11:54.000 My point is I may have torpedoed an election with a goof. 0.97

00:11:59.000 You're why we got Whitmer.

00:12:00.000 He really believes that.

00:12:02.000 It was in Michigan, so they'll just find more votes.

00:12:05.000 Here's one thing that I think is pretty important, though, too.

00:12:07.000 A lot of people are saying, OK, who will win against Joe Biden in a general?

00:12:11.000 And right now they're saying, well, Donald Trump, if he's the nominee, he can't win in a general.

00:12:14.000 Well, that's not really necessarily true.

00:12:16.000 Again, some context actually matters.

00:12:18.000 And I think you can bring up these overlays, Matt.

00:12:19.000 We have collage E, collage E1 is where we're going.

00:12:23.000 So Donald Trump, of course, has been leading the primary by at least 20 points in the primary.

00:12:26.000 So it's really hard for him to make up that gap unless there's some kind of a miracle.

00:12:30.000 They're saying that Biden leads Trump in a head-to-head.

00:12:33.000 And that's, by the way, only recently by plus one or plus five.

00:12:35.000 Now, keep in mind, up until June, Donald Trump was leading Biden by a couple of points, which was surprising.

00:12:42.000 But let's put this in context.

00:12:43.000 If you actually were to compare Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton at this exact same moment in time, going into that 2016 election, Hillary Clinton was actually leading him by 10.4.

00:12:54.000 So not 1 to 5, 10.4.

00:12:56.000 And then if you go into Biden at this exact same point, right in the 2020 polling, he was leading Donald Trump by plus 12.

00:13:03.000 So a plus 1 to 5, which is pretty new as a development since June, just don't let your primary vote be determined by someone telling you what the polls are saying.

00:13:12.000 Because anyone who would be ahead in the polls, I guarantee you the average would have them behind Biden.

00:13:18.000 And it may or may not be true, but it's not by anywhere near the margin as the last elections.

00:13:21.000 It's the best margin that you've seen at this point in time in a campaign in any of Donald Trump's.

00:13:26.000 Yeah, and it's going to fluctuate a lot based on what's going on in the world, right?

00:13:29.000 So if there seems to be economic progress, which I don't know where they would get that from, but right now Bidenomics is the term.

00:13:35.000 It should be Biden crime family was the term that everybody was throwing around up there.

00:13:38.000 Like this is going to sway people back and forth for a little bit.

00:13:41.000 It's still very, very early.

00:13:43.000 Once we get into March and April and May, like obviously you're going to start to see things shake out considerably by then.

00:13:49.000 So I agree.

00:13:50.000 My main point with Donald Trump was if he can win, I'm voting for him because he's got four years and nothing to lose.

00:13:56.000 And day one, he walks into that office and knows what to do.

00:13:59.000 Ron DeSantis, as governor, has been fantastic.

00:14:02.000 I've liked a lot of what he's done, but day one he walks in and he's trying to find out where the pencils are.

00:14:07.000 Anybody walking in brand new is going to have a little bit of a, okay, how do I do this?

00:14:11.000 Where do I go?

00:14:11.000 What do I do?

00:14:12.000 Donald Trump won't, and he's got some scores to settle.

00:14:14.000 I don't want this to turn into political tit-for-tat.

00:14:17.000 I don't want to go after and prosecute other opponents just because they prosecuted us.

00:14:21.000 I want to set things straight.

00:14:23.000 I kind of do, though.

00:14:23.000 I don't because it ends up in a genocide.

00:14:26.000 We don't want that.

00:14:29.000 We're more prepared.

00:14:29.000 We are the party that does have most of the guns, and so if it ever does come to it, we'll be fine.

00:14:34.000 I just want him to go in and go, you know what, FBI?

00:14:37.000 You don't exist anymore.

00:14:38.000 We're putting an under construction sign on you for just a little while, right?

00:14:41.000 And DOJ?

00:14:42.000 Yeah, we've got some people to clean out there as well.

00:14:45.000 I think he walks in and does that.

00:14:46.000 I don't think Ron DeSantis does.

00:14:48.000 Yeah, I think he could be right.

00:14:49.000 What about Vivek?

00:14:50.000 What about Flying V?

00:14:51.000 The Flying V is hilarious.

00:14:52.000 I don't think foreign policy, in this case, I don't think his foreign policy issues are going to be bad.

00:14:56.000 Donald Trump didn't have a lot of foreign policy awareness at the time.

00:15:00.000 He had business interactions.

00:15:01.000 But the Taiwan-China thing has evolved since then, and it's getting ugly.

00:15:05.000 You made a nice statement today about something about wiping off the earth.

00:15:09.000 He was going to arm them.

00:15:11.000 Yeah, he was saying he was going to arm Taiwan. 0.85

00:15:12.000 And of course, CNN girls, you know. 0.84

00:15:14.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:15:14.000 You really mean that?

00:15:15.000 Oh yeah, the chick with the hairy forearms. 1.00

00:15:16.000 Yeah.

00:15:18.000 Which one?

00:15:19.000 The one who has the orange eyebrows like Michael Keaton.

00:15:21.000 He destroyed her, by the way.

00:15:22.000 He absolutely destroyed her.

00:15:23.000 Yeah, Caitlyn Collins.

00:15:24.000 Can you bring up the Caitlyn Concius eyebrows like Michael Keaton?

00:15:27.000 Oh, she's gotten better.

00:15:28.000 They've brushed her up a little bit since the town hall with Trump.

00:15:30.000 What'd they do, shave her? 1.00

00:15:33.000 Waxing, I do believe, is the term, Nick.

00:15:35.000 Waxing.

00:15:36.000 Napalm.

00:15:37.000 Yes.

00:15:38.000 No, so Vivek, too, he's gotten under, he's gotten some flak here, saying, oh, he's a 9-11 truther.

00:15:42.000 Again, if you look at his answers to the questions, he never said that 9-11 was an inside job.

00:15:46.000 He said that we were lied to by the commission report.

00:15:47.000 He said that we were lied to in the sense that we were told that the Saudis weren't involved with it at all.

00:15:50.000 Isn't it kind of crazy?

00:15:51.000 Because I don't know if you remember this, but there was a man I believe it was Michael Moore, and he did a whole film about that, and it was a badge of honor to not believe the George W. Bush government narrative in 9-11, and now they're the ones attacking any Republican nominee as though they're a crazy conspiracy theorist.

00:16:09.000 This is why I say when they say, oh, Donald Trump is so bombastic, they're going to make any candidate out?

00:16:14.000 Who's the nominee? 1.00

00:16:15.000 To be dumb or evil. 1.00

00:16:16.000 Period. 1.00

00:16:16.000 It doesn't matter what you do. 1.00

00:16:18.000 Now they're flopping on the 9-11 issue.

00:16:19.000 It was the biggest, I think the highest grossing documentary of all time up until that point, Fahrenheit 9-11.

00:16:25.000 Someone can fact check me on it. 0.99

00:16:27.000 And Michael Moore's a dick. 1.00

00:16:28.000 He looks like Walter White transitioning. 1.00

00:16:30.000 No one likes him.

00:16:31.000 But he was the guy championing their cause.

00:16:33.000 And now Vivek just saying, hey, you know what?

00:16:34.000 We were lied to about the Saudis and so I'm saying that this is a reason to distrust the government.

00:16:38.000 They want you to believe these are crazy conspiracy theories.

00:16:40.000 Also a crazy conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, who was right about more rollbacks and masks.

00:16:46.000 Ready to be up there in the debates tonight.

00:16:48.000 I know.

00:16:50.000 Boy, would I pay money for that.

00:16:51.000 Or even a moderator.

00:16:52.000 Yeah, a moderator.

00:16:53.000 We've got about three minutes until Trump and Tucker.

00:16:57.000 Tucker, thank you very much.

00:16:58.000 I lost his name for some reason.

00:16:59.000 So maybe get to some reasons why Mr. Donald Yes, that's right.

00:17:04.000 Again, the promo code is CrowderGOPDebate.

00:17:06.000 The hashtag is CrowderGOPDebate.

00:17:08.000 We'll be taking your chat.

00:17:09.000 Smash the rumble button. 0.87

00:17:09.000 Hit the like. 0.87

00:17:11.000 And we actually do have, we have some exclusives here.

00:17:13.000 You know we always get some exclusives here at Ladder with Crowder.

00:17:15.000 We have the inside lane.

00:17:17.000 Some people refer to it as inside baseball.

00:17:19.000 I don't though, because it's a sports reference.

00:17:21.000 We actually were sent from the Trump campaign the top seven plus one reasons that Donald Trump is not at the debate

00:17:28.000 tonight You forgot the van in the chamber

00:17:36.000 Oh, and by the way, while you guys are bringing... Maybe ask T. I need some of those eyedrops which you can just pop there because I'm coming down with something a little bit.

00:17:45.000 So these are the 7 plus 1 reasons that Donald Trump is actually not going to be at the debate tonight.

00:17:52.000 The reasons he gave, officially, on the record.

00:17:53.000 Number 7.

00:17:54.000 He's golfing poorly, but still having fewer strokes than Mitch McConnell.

00:17:58.000 Yeah, that's...

00:18:00.000 Seven plus one reasons that Donald Trump will not be at the debate tonight.

00:18:05.000 You know what, Nick?

00:18:06.000 Why don't you take a crack here at number six? 1.00

00:18:08.000 He's grabbing Melania by the pussy. 1.00

00:18:13.000 Take some time if you're doing it right. 1.00

00:18:15.000 He would, but Chris Christie ate his debate prep notes.

00:18:18.000 You don't dip them in gravy, though.

00:18:19.000 Donald Trump will not be here at the debate tonight.

00:18:20.000 He would, but Chris Christie ate his debate prep notes.

00:18:23.000 Oh well, Christie, you lose.

00:18:25.000 You don't dip them in gravy though.

00:18:28.000 No potential sustenance unturned.

00:18:31.000 Number four, Donald Trump would be there, but he has a date to play pickleball with

00:18:36.000 Wow.

00:18:37.000 I don't know what pickleball is exactly.

00:18:38.000 I assume he'd be throwing a pickle down a hallway?

00:18:40.000 No, I don't think so.

00:18:46.000 Top reasons that Donald Trump, again, that he officially gave our production managers here, who have done a fantastic job, will not be at the debate.

00:18:52.000 Number three, he would, but he has a private lesson with Dr. Ben Carson on, quote, how to keep his pimp hands strong.

00:18:59.000 You have to brush up on that.

00:19:01.000 I'm black and I don't even know what that means.

00:19:04.000 Well, you know, I spent, I was raised in a generation of enter the Wu-Tang.

00:19:07.000 Number two, Nick, I think this one's up your alley.

00:19:09.000 He'll be in Fulton County, Georgia tonight looking for those 11,000 votes.

00:19:12.000 Oh! 0.60

00:19:13.000 There he is!

00:19:14.000 Wait a minute, that's the Bud Light warehouse.

00:19:37.000 Yeah.

00:19:38.000 Someone could bring it up.

00:19:39.000 Kid Rock with the Bud Light.

00:19:39.000 Wait, did somebody set him up or something?

00:19:41.000 No, the paparazzi.

00:19:42.000 He was just drinking a Bud Light.

00:19:43.000 He set himself up.

00:19:44.000 There's no reason for that.

00:19:45.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:19:46.000 That's almost like taking it back.

00:19:48.000 I know.

00:19:49.000 Come on, just have some courage here to your convictions.

00:19:52.000 That really hurts me.

00:19:53.000 He needed to get drunk.

00:19:54.000 Do you know what he was listening to?

00:19:55.000 It was bad music, okay?

00:19:57.000 Well, you said if any band dead or alive you could see would be Motley Crue, so you're one to talk.

00:20:00.000 That's not true at all.

00:20:01.000 What are you talking about?

00:20:02.000 I don't understand.

00:20:05.000 You're like that tween who still believes in Santa, but you know that it's not really true. 1.00

00:20:09.000 Yeah, you are one pathetic loser. 1.00

00:20:11.000 You want to believe. 1.00

00:20:12.000 I'm a lesbian. 0.89

00:20:13.000 You're like that tween who still believes in Santa, but you know that it's not really true.

00:20:16.000 By the way, we're keeping an eye on the Twitter, the thing that used to be called Twitter to make sure.

00:20:20.000 So just so you guys know, when it comes on we will make sure we jump right in.

00:20:23.000 Seven plus one reasons that Donald Trump has not made the debate stream tonight. 0.91

00:20:27.000 Number one, he's sick.

00:20:28.000 His best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this dude is going with the girl who saw Trump pass out at 31 Flavors last night.

00:20:37.000 I guess it's pretty serious.

00:20:38.000 I guess it's pretty serious.

00:20:40.000 And the plus one reason that Donald Trump will not be at the debate tonight.

00:20:43.000 Grand jury duty.

00:20:44.000 That has been this week's 7 Plus 1.

00:20:46.000 Thanks for watching.

00:20:53.000 We'll see you next week.

00:21:00.000 So it looks like they uploaded the full video.

00:21:02.000 Tim, why don't you go ahead and see if we can bring that up really quickly here.

00:21:08.000 They're smiling.

00:21:09.000 That's great.

00:21:11.000 Thank you.

00:21:11.000 Why aren't you at the Fox News debate tonight in Milwaukee?

00:21:14.000 Well, you know, a lot of people have been asking me that and many people said you shouldn't do it, but you see other people, right?

00:21:20.000 I'm leading by 50 and 60 points and some of them are at 1 and 0 and 2.

00:21:27.000 And I sit there for an hour or two hours, whatever it's going to be, and get harassed

00:21:33.000 by people that shouldn't even be running for president, should I be doing that?

00:21:38.000 And a network that isn't particularly friendly to me.

00:21:41.000 So it's not live, it was an upload.

00:21:44.000 So they're just doing it as an upload, they're not doing it live.

00:21:47.000 So we've got our team going through to get clips of the biggest moments of Obama.

00:21:49.000 And by the way, I can fact check that as true, by the way.

00:21:51.000 Just to be clear, Fox News has been anti-Trump for a significant period of time, and now they're kind of turning on DeSantis a little bit.

00:21:57.000 But they definitely have been actively campaigning against Trump.

00:22:00.000 Well, here's the thing, I don't... Just be honest about it.

00:22:02.000 Yep.

00:22:03.000 Just be honest about it.

00:22:04.000 Honest about it.

00:22:04.000 Can I ask you why?

00:22:07.000 They're very establishment.

00:22:10.000 I remember when I worked at Fox News for four and a half years and Romney was their guy.

00:22:13.000 When is there no money in Trump?

00:22:15.000 Is that the bottom line?

00:22:16.000 The bottom line's the bottom line in news and TV?

00:22:19.000 I think that they think it can be a coronation because Fox News has had a sort of a stranglehold on that market for a long time, so they think they can get away with it.

00:22:27.000 But let's continue listening to Donald Trump.

00:22:29.000 I'm grateful that you did.

00:22:31.000 It's interesting though because you spent a lot of your career in television.

00:22:38.000 But you don't feel the need now running for president to do television obviously.

00:22:42.000 Do you think television is declining?

00:22:44.000 Well, according to a poll that I guess you just saw, it just came out, where it says... According to Nielsen!

00:22:51.000 Absolutely!

00:22:53.000 Because it's lost credibility.

00:22:55.000 MSNBC, or as they say, MSDNC, is so bad.

00:22:59.000 It's so wrong what they write and what they do and what they say.

00:23:03.000 It's fake news, as I said.

00:23:05.000 I think I came up with that term.

00:23:06.000 I hope I did.

00:23:08.000 That's what other people say.

00:23:10.000 They say you came up with the best terms.

00:23:12.000 By the way, the drinking game rules do not apply to this interview.

00:23:14.000 Yeah, I was going to say, by the way, just drink sort of at this point, I guess.

00:23:17.000 Yeah, my throat's killing me.

00:23:18.000 Come on.

00:23:19.000 And you have CNN, who's absolutely doing no ratings at all.

00:23:24.000 Let me smell your drink.

00:23:24.000 I mean, they're dead.

00:23:25.000 But they're doing none because they don't have credibility.

00:23:28.000 They really don't have credibility.

00:23:29.000 Fox is way down.

00:23:30.000 Something's just, like, strong perfume-y.

00:23:32.000 I think it's, like, spice rum.

00:23:34.000 It smells like perfume.

00:23:35.000 It smells like a dirty mug.

00:23:36.000 Like you're drinking Egyptian musk. 0.90

00:23:38.000 Good lord. 1.00

00:23:39.000 That's a black man's cologne. 1.00

00:23:41.000 Yeah, aftershave. 1.00

00:23:42.000 That was a terrible move getting rid of you.

00:23:45.000 You were number one on television and all of a sudden you're, we're doing this interview

00:23:49.000 but we'll get bigger ratings using this crazy forum that you're using than probably, probably

00:23:56.000 the debate or competition.

00:23:57.000 Well again it's not really a fair apples to apples to an upload and again impressions

00:24:01.000 are not the same as views but I guarantee you that he will have more views but if you

00:24:04.000 see like a hundred million with Tucker or something like that it's not the same as live

00:24:07.000 viewers so sometimes they'll pull that trick but it is true that cable news is dying.

00:24:11.000 It is dying and this is one of, we talked about that up there, this is one of the first

00:24:14.000 events where you're seeing them die and rumble and places like that are going to take them

00:24:18.000 out.

00:24:19.000 Put the nail in the coffin boys.

00:24:20.000 And to be clear, by the way, about Fox News, you have Bret Baier, he's obviously running the debate there tonight, along with Martha McCallum, and he did say that January 6th, the committee hearing made Donald Trump look horrific.

00:24:30.000 Apparently there have been a lot of reports that there's a soft ban on Donald Trump at Fox News.

00:24:35.000 They were really going hard on him because they were being sued by Dominion, they were all in on DeSantis, but now that he's not doing so well, they're sort of backing off a little bit.

00:24:42.000 So there is a very strong bias at Fox News.

00:24:44.000 I saw it when I was there for Mitt Romney as well. 0.98

00:24:47.000 Which was just, in my opinion, quite dumb that he was the guy.

00:24:50.000 They're not doing that well because, also, Tucker's not there. 0.55

00:24:53.000 Yeah.

00:24:54.000 Well, that's a big component.

00:24:55.000 They're going to try to put somebody else in that slot, obviously, and see if they can, like, move people around.

00:25:00.000 But it's dying media.

00:25:01.000 I know, they're looking at Willie Nelson.

00:25:03.000 They're watching our show.

00:25:04.000 They're watching this right now.

00:25:05.000 They'll be watching the stream on Rumble.

00:25:07.000 Like, that is taking over media.

00:25:09.000 So here, I don't want to talk over Trump too much.

00:25:10.000 Oh, here we go.

00:25:11.000 It is now the...

00:25:13.000 Is this live?

00:25:15.000 That's live, yeah.

00:25:16.000 Alright, well let's switch from Tucker to the debates right now.

00:25:18.000 Coming in from Fox News, this is being live streamed from Rumble.

00:25:21.000 Bring up the volume.

00:25:22.000 Here there is one battleground that may be harder to win than ever.

00:25:26.000 Wisconsin.

00:25:28.000 Can you turn it up a little bit?

00:25:29.000 We can't hear that.

00:25:30.000 Got it.

00:25:31.000 A state known for its beer and cheese.

00:25:34.000 Gridiron and grit.

00:25:36.000 Yeah, who did that, by the way?

00:25:38.000 It's not razor thin, Wisconsin.

00:25:40.000 Wisconsin was, in fact, a blue state until Donald Trump flipped it.

00:25:43.000 I lived it that night.

00:25:44.000 I was surprised.

00:25:45.000 I think he won it the second time around.

00:25:47.000 It's not razor thin, Wisconsin.

00:25:50.000 Wisconsin was in fact a blue state until Donald Trump flipped it.

00:25:54.000 I lived it that night.

00:25:55.000 I was surprised.

00:25:56.000 I think he won it the second time around, just saying.

00:26:06.000 Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, leaving the legality of abortion up to the states.

00:26:13.000 In Wisconsin, that meant a nearly total ban.

00:26:16.000 While they do the intros, do you want to go over, obviously the opening statements will be back there, but do you want to go back to Trump for a minute?

00:26:22.000 Yeah, let's go back to Donald Trump.

00:26:23.000 I think there's perfume in my beer.

00:26:25.000 Jeez.

00:26:27.000 Bring up Trump.

00:26:28.000 It's the new PA.

00:26:29.000 Well, you're drinking one of those fruity yolks.

00:26:33.000 He said he did, and he pretended he did, but he didn't.

00:26:37.000 McSwain, the U.S.

00:26:38.000 attorney in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, said Barr just wouldn't let him do it.

00:26:43.000 It was crazy.

00:26:44.000 Barr became so petrified, so frightened of being impeached.

00:26:49.000 They were going to impeach him.

00:26:49.000 I don't know if you remember it.

00:26:51.000 It's not a big moment in history. 0.95

00:26:53.000 They said, we're going to impeach, you know they play a much rougher game than the left, the lunatics.

00:26:59.000 And they were going to impeach Bill Barr and he was petrified. 0.59

00:27:03.000 Now how do you not get impeached?

00:27:05.000 Don't do any of this stuff.

00:27:06.000 But he didn't do the job there.

00:27:08.000 So we're going to go back to those highlights.

00:27:09.000 Let's go right now.

00:27:10.000 They are introducing the debates.

00:27:11.000 We have Bret Baier and Martha McCallum.

00:27:14.000 Now is that, is that Burgum?

00:27:15.000 No.

00:27:16.000 I can't see.

00:27:17.000 Oh, there's Mike Pence.

00:27:18.000 He'll be way down on one end. 1.00

00:27:19.000 He's a dick. 0.99

00:27:20.000 There's Bergamot all the way on the right. 1.00

00:27:21.000 Bergamot's on the... yeah.

00:27:22.000 He brought his Achilles playing basketball.

00:27:24.000 Does that guy strike you as a basketball player?

00:27:27.000 Alright, let's see.

00:27:29.000 I tell you what though, Bret Baier will never go bald.

00:27:31.000 He has a hairline like Curious George.

00:27:33.000 He's like a high school wrestler.

00:27:35.000 It's my hand.

00:27:36.000 It's the sole.

00:27:37.000 It's sanctimonious.

00:27:38.000 Just that smile is off-putting.

00:27:39.000 are positioned by the order they sit in the polls.

00:27:42.000 With the highest polling candidates in the middle, standing center stage.

00:27:47.000 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

00:27:50.000 It's my hand, it's the sole.

00:27:51.000 It's DeSantimonious.

00:27:52.000 Just that smile is off-putting.

00:27:56.000 Here's my primary care position.

00:27:59.000 Former Vice President Mike Pence.

00:28:00.000 The Jimmy Neutron hairdo.

00:28:02.000 Hey, Nikki Haley looks good tonight. 0.93

00:28:06.000 He fasted.

00:28:06.000 Oh, look at him.

00:28:07.000 And there he is, Mr. Ed's teeth.

00:28:08.000 I like how it's quiet. 0.99

00:28:10.000 He's fucking defested. 0.99

00:28:12.000 And there he is, Mr. Ed's teeth. 1.00

00:28:14.000 Former Arkansas Hunter, Asa Hutchinson.

00:28:17.000 I like how it's quiet.

00:28:19.000 They hate him.

00:28:21.000 He looks a little bit like a skinnier Muppet-like Scorsese. 0.66

00:28:25.000 That's right.

00:28:27.000 Alright, why do they say this?

00:28:30.000 Just so you know, for the Trump thing, you're not missing anything.

00:28:32.000 Our team is actually going through right now and pulling some of the best moments from that interview.

00:28:36.000 So as we get those, we'll pull them in. 0.80

00:28:37.000 You don't have to go anywhere to see all of it.

00:28:39.000 We will make sure you see.

00:28:40.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:28:41.000 We'll make sure you see that and cover this live.

00:28:43.000 Again, you can use the hashtag CrowderGOPdebate or that promo code to get $10 off Mug Club right now as long as this is live. 0.99

00:28:50.000 Let's hear the stupid question. 0.98

00:28:51.000 president at a time when the likely democrat nominee president joe biden is working to 1.00

00:28:56.000 convince the country that with by dynamics things are looking up go straight to inflation

00:29:03.000 i'm not sure the men and totally complementary at the time this is but guess what it's working wow

00:29:13.000 is it the american rescue plan is what 1.9 trillion The Inflation Reduction Act, $500 billion?

00:29:20.000 The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, $1.2 trillion?

00:29:23.000 The Chips and Science Act, $278 billion?

00:29:25.000 And we've had the worst inflation since, actually surpassing Jimmy Carter.

00:29:28.000 This is an easy, easy layup.

00:29:31.000 I hope they get into specifics.

00:29:32.000 Let's go to the guy in the Michael Jordan hat.

00:29:34.000 There's a lot of people out here homeless because they can't buy food.

00:29:37.000 It's tough when you've got a mortgage rate of 78% versus 2 to 3.

00:29:41.000 It's just, you can't afford a house anymore.

00:29:43.000 Inflation is ridiculous.

00:29:46.000 It's killing us out here. 0.82

00:29:46.000 That's not your biggest problem. 0.82

00:29:48.000 As we sit here tonight, the number one song on the Billboard chart is called Rich Man North of Richmond.

00:29:59.000 This is a weird way to lead to the very weird words.

00:30:04.000 As Tupac once said in his album All Eyes on Me, Vivek, your floor.

00:30:10.000 Washington D.C.

00:30:12.000 is about a hundred miles north of Richmond.

00:30:17.000 What are we doing?

00:30:19.000 Is this like an award show?

00:30:21.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:30:21.000 What the hell? 0.98

00:30:22.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.81

00:30:23.000 And now up for Song of the Year... Chris Christie looks hungry, I'm not even joking.

00:30:29.000 He looks like he's looking.

00:30:30.000 They don't feed him for eight hours before.

00:30:31.000 He's looking at this country singer like a guy on a stranded island when you turn into like a roast chicken.

00:30:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:30:36.000 He's a drumstick.

00:30:37.000 These guys are probably hearing the song for the first time.

00:30:39.000 Yeah, they're like, Richmond, north of Richmond, that's us!

00:30:42.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:43.000 He's singing about us!

00:30:44.000 Striking such a nerve in this country right now.

00:30:48.000 What do you think it means?

00:30:50.000 Oh lord.

00:30:51.000 That's so rigid it almost seems pre-tape.

00:30:52.000 This decline is not inevitable, it's a choice.

00:30:56.000 That's so rigid it almost seems pre-taped.

00:30:58.000 We need to send Joe Biden back to his basement and reverse American decline.

00:31:02.000 Was that a planned applause?

00:31:04.000 Because he hasn't said anything good yet.

00:31:05.000 Democrat is not Joe Biden.

00:31:06.000 Hunter Biden.

00:31:07.000 That counts.

00:31:07.000 so that middle class families have a chance to succeed again.

00:31:11.000 We cannot succeed as a country if you are working hard and you can't afford groceries,

00:31:17.000 a car, or a new home while Hunter Biden can make hundreds of thousands of dollars on lousy

00:31:22.000 paid jobs.

00:31:23.000 That is wrong.

00:31:24.000 I'm not finishing my drink though.

00:31:26.000 We also cannot succeed when the Congress spends trillions and trillions of dollars.

00:31:31.000 Those rich men north of Richmond have put us in this situation.

00:31:35.000 And finally, we need to lower your gas prices. 0.98

00:31:38.000 We're going to open up all energy production.

00:31:41.000 We will be energy dominant again in this country.

00:31:45.000 So you know someone said, come out forcefully.

00:31:47.000 You know, come out forcefully.

00:31:48.000 Well, he was in the military, so he's a leader.

00:31:51.000 He's a born leader.

00:31:52.000 I think he confused forceful for loud.

00:31:56.000 And now he goes back to that... oh, anyway.

00:31:58.000 Governor Christie, do you agree with what Governor DeSantis just said there, and why

00:32:02.000 would you be better on the economy than him?

00:32:05.000 Well, I agree predominantly with what Governor DeSantis just laid out.

00:32:10.000 I think that if you asked every one of us up here that we would agree predominantly

00:32:14.000 with what he just laid out.

00:32:15.000 Here's the difference.

00:32:16.000 The difference is that we're going to have to work and make sure that we sell these ideas and be able to put ourselves in a position where we get a majority of the vote not only by running Congress and the Senate.

00:32:32.000 You mean President Trump?

00:32:40.000 No, no, let's correct that phrase.

00:32:41.000 You were elected as a Republican.

00:32:43.000 Let's not say conservative Republican.

00:32:45.000 In a blue state, which means you're not a Republican.

00:32:47.000 It's a state where you can't even pump your own gas.

00:32:51.000 Brought them around to our point of view.

00:32:54.000 We cut taxes in New Jersey.

00:32:55.000 We cut debt in New Jersey.

00:32:58.000 We closed roads in New Jersey.

00:32:59.000 Every time we were confronted with bad democratic ideas, we stood and stopped them.

00:33:04.000 And when they were good ideas, we brought people together to make progress going forward.

00:33:09.000 Truth and accountability are the things we need to do to fight waste.

00:33:13.000 And I'd say the last thing is this, Brad.

00:33:15.000 We cannot sit by any longer.

00:33:18.000 That was very tepid.

00:33:18.000 Well, it's not his fault.

00:33:19.000 I mean, he is- He has the highest BMI.

00:33:21.000 because every dollar they spend is a dollar that these people are not allowed to spend

00:33:25.000 on their children and their grandchildren.

00:33:27.000 It's robbing our country and it's wrong.

00:33:29.000 Well, Governor, let me just follow up very quickly.

00:33:31.000 New Jersey, your governor had the second lowest credit rating in the nation after Illinois.

00:33:36.000 And it was not his fault.

00:33:37.000 I mean, he is the highest BMI.

00:33:39.000 Yes.

00:33:40.000 And that's what happens when you inherit a blue state that has done that.

00:33:44.000 But when you look at what we did on debt, Brett, in that state, we cut debt in that

00:33:49.000 state, debt that had been left to us by three Democrats.

00:33:51.000 Cut the crust off your sandwiches.

00:33:52.000 And three of the predecessors of mine who ran up that debt.

00:33:55.000 I don't think we're going to get him for the post-debate.

00:33:57.000 Apparently none of that worked because you're still second to last, Tubby!

00:33:58.000 How's that for a follow-up?

00:33:59.000 the unemployment rate in half. It was over 10% when I became governor in 2010.

00:34:04.000 What we also did was cut pension payments to public employees to make

00:34:10.000 sure that taxpayers were not being so... Well apparently none of that work because

00:34:13.000 you're still second to last, Tubby. That was killing the taxpayer. How's that for a follow-up?

00:34:18.000 But when it comes to being second to last, we're tops.

00:34:22.000 That's a nice jacket.

00:34:22.000 Why are you wearing a photo negative of the Thriller jacket?

00:34:25.000 Hey! 0.99

00:34:25.000 as a senator, now President Biden, argued for freezing federal spending 0.99

00:34:31.000 this was back in the 80s why are you wearing a photo negative of the thriller jacket?

00:34:34.000 he does not talk about that anymore you have been a senator though for 10 years

00:34:39.000 so what have you done to rein in the increasing size of government costs?

00:34:44.000 hey, come on man over the last several years I've had an opportunity to vote

00:34:49.000 against spending package after spending package after spending package

00:34:52.000 What we also need to understand is that Joe Biden's Biden nominates has led to the loss of $10,000 of spending power for the average family.

00:35:04.000 When you see 16% inflation, your gas is up 40%.

00:35:09.000 I actually have the numbers right here on the Bidenomics as far as how much more you're spending.

00:35:15.000 Which page is Bidenomics here I have in my prep?

00:35:18.000 I always do this in prep and then in—11?

00:35:18.000 No, it's at the very back.

00:35:20.000 All right, keep the volume there up there, Tim.

00:35:22.000 Let me just say this.

00:35:23.000 Chris Christie had the lowest approval rating ever for a New Jersey governor at 15%.

00:35:28.000 I'm sure that's going to come up.

00:35:30.000 Well, that's because of the Democrats, as he would tell you.

00:35:32.000 So, you were spending $202 more in July, by the way, in just one year than you would have to buy goods or services one year ago.

00:35:40.000 $709 more than two years ago.

00:35:43.000 It has crippled Americans, the inflation.

00:35:45.000 Just so you know, that's one thing.

00:35:46.000 It's not a talking point, but everyone has that arrow in their quiver.

00:35:48.000 Let's go back to Mr. Scott.

00:35:51.000 Okay, but just to follow up, you did, during the Trump administration, you approved $4.1 trillion, $4.1 trillion, $1.7 trillion over the course of that administration.

00:36:02.000 That's a lot of money.

00:36:03.000 There's no doubt that during the Trump administration, we were dealing with the COVID virus, we spent more money.

00:36:08.000 But here's what happened at the end of our time in the majority.

00:36:11.000 We had low unemployment, record low unemployment, 3.5% for the majority of the population, 70 year low for women.

00:36:21.000 African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians had an all-time low, but our inflation is at 2%.

00:36:28.000 Under Joe Biden, we've seen the exact opposite.

00:36:31.000 We've seen inflation explode, which led to 12 Federal Reserve increases.

00:36:38.000 That's devastating homebuyers today. 0.99

00:36:41.000 Mr. Ramaswamy, you're listening to these answers.

00:36:45.000 Was there a buzzer?

00:36:46.000 I don't know if I get a chance.

00:36:47.000 That wasn't us?

00:36:48.000 That was them?

00:36:49.000 Mike Pence?

00:36:50.000 Mr. Vice President, Mr. Ramaswamy... Ooh, you shut down Pence.

00:36:54.000 Can I talk?

00:36:55.000 He just rolled up a newspaper and spanked Mike Pence's dog in front of the drink. 0.82

00:36:59.000 Does that count as a moderator cutoff?

00:37:01.000 Yeah, that's a moderator cutoff drink.

00:37:03.000 You've said that you only voted in two presidential elections before this moment, this political race.

00:37:11.000 So first let me just address a question that is on everybody's mind at home tonight.

00:37:14.000 Yes, my hair is real.

00:37:15.000 Who the heck is this skinny guy with a funny last name and what the heck is he doing in the middle of this debate stage?

00:37:21.000 I'll tell you, I'm not a politician.

00:37:22.000 I think people thought, why is tech support here?

00:37:24.000 I'm an entrepreneur.

00:37:25.000 My parents came to this country with no money 40 years ago. 0.97

00:37:29.000 I talked to him on the phone last night trying to figure out how to get cum out of a mouse pen. 0.93

00:37:32.000 He's not answering the question, though. 0.96

00:37:34.000 That's the issue.

00:37:34.000 This is kind of like an opening speech, which is fine.

00:37:36.000 I didn't hear it, sorry.

00:37:38.000 That is the American dream.

00:37:40.000 And I am genuinely worried that that American dream will not exist for our two sons and their generation unless we

00:37:46.000 do something about it.

00:37:46.000 He's not answering the question though, that's the issue.

00:37:48.000 This is kind of like an opening speech, which is fine.

00:37:50.000 He needs to do that, but then he needs to pivot into answering the question.

00:37:53.000 Who have been running from something?

00:37:55.000 Now is our moment to start running to something.

00:37:58.000 To our vision of what it means to be an American today.

00:38:02.000 He's got a lot of fans.

00:38:03.000 I'm telling you man, he's the guy.

00:38:04.000 You turn over the keys to the people who broke it again.

00:38:06.000 You hand it over to a new generation to actually fix the problem. 1.00

00:38:10.000 That's why I'm at this race and we're just getting warmed up.

00:38:16.000 So why are you better positioned to turn around this economy that we've heard all of these voters talking about tonight than Mr. Ramaswamy, who is a successful entrepreneur nationally right now?

00:38:26.000 He's beating you in the polls.

00:38:28.000 Well, I don't care about polls.

00:38:29.000 What I care about the fact is that no one is telling the American people the truth.

00:38:33.000 The truth is that Biden didn't do this to us.

00:38:36.000 Our Republicans did this to us, too.

00:38:39.000 When they passed that $2.2 trillion COVID stimulus bill, they left us with 90 million people on Medicaid, 42 million people on food stamps.

00:38:48.000 No one has told you how to fix it.

00:38:50.000 I'll tell you how to fix it.

00:38:51.000 They need to stop the spending, they need to stop the borrowing, they need to eliminate the earmarks that Republicans brought back in, and they need to make sure they understand these are taxpayer dollars, it's not their dollars.

00:39:02.000 Speaking of earmarks, I notice you've had yours pinned, right Haley? 0.93

00:39:05.000 I like the idea of a female president with a black stripper's first name. 1.00

00:39:12.000 What? 0.99

00:39:13.000 Like Chandelier?

00:39:15.000 No, like Nikki.

00:39:16.000 So at the end of the day, you look at the 2024 budget, Republicans asked for $7.4 billion in earmarks, Democrats asked for $2.8 billion.

00:39:26.000 So you tell me who are the big spenders.

00:39:28.000 I think it's time for an accountant in the White House.

00:39:30.000 Vice President Pence?

00:39:34.000 Mike Pence cannot have a good performance tonight.

00:39:40.000 I'm calling it right now.

00:39:41.000 And again, you can send in your predictions.

00:39:42.000 It's not possible for him. 0.79

00:39:43.000 He's awful.

00:39:44.000 If he did, it wouldn't matter. 0.98

00:39:45.000 No.

00:39:46.000 I'm proud of that.

00:39:47.000 Well, first of all, thanks for the question.

00:39:49.000 Thanks for letting me respond.

00:39:50.000 prior $7.8 trillion added to the national debt, 3.5 trillion of that before COVID.

00:39:57.000 I'm proud of that.

00:39:58.000 Does that mean that you're part of the spending?

00:39:59.000 That does mean half.

00:40:00.000 Well, it was in one year.

00:40:01.000 So thanks for the question.

00:40:02.000 That's a pretty big number.

00:40:03.000 Yeah.

00:40:04.000 For letting me respond.

00:40:05.000 Let me ask you a question, Mike.

00:40:06.000 Could you find a dipstick?

00:40:07.000 I'm incredibly proud of the record of the Trump administration.

00:40:11.000 In four short years, we rebuild our military.

00:40:15.000 We revived our economy.

00:40:17.000 We unleash American energy.

00:40:18.000 This guy, you cast him as the president of the Supreme Court.

00:40:22.000 Yeah.

00:40:23.000 He's a walking parody.

00:40:24.000 Where the president is the villain.

00:40:25.000 Thank you.

00:40:27.000 Martha, you asked earlier who's the most best prepared for this job.

00:40:33.000 And I must say, with all due respect to all of my friends in the States, and even to one that's probably looking on, I think unquestionably I am the best prepared, the most tested, the most qualified and proven conservative in this race.

00:40:48.000 I was a leader in the Congress of the United States.

00:40:51.000 I led Indiana where we balanced budgets and had a AAA bond rating.

00:40:55.000 But he certainly would make a great Judas. 0.99

00:40:59.000 People flooding to Indiana might deliver.

00:41:02.000 Iscariot, to be clear, because I know there's two Judases. 0.98

00:41:05.000 The bad Judi, if you will.

00:41:08.000 All that being said, I was the first person in this race to say that we've got to deal with the long-term national debt.

00:41:19.000 Look at his resume.

00:41:19.000 His resume is, I have more experience because I was tapped to be VP.

00:41:23.000 No one actually voted for you, Mike Pence. 0.95

00:41:24.000 Then he goes, I was the first to, you were the first Republican to say that we need to lower spending, dummy.

00:41:30.000 There's nothing unique.

00:41:31.000 This is the thing with Mike Pence.

00:41:32.000 He will say whatever he thinks is necessary.

00:41:34.000 It is talking points personified.

00:41:37.000 I don't think I've ever, is it just me?

00:41:39.000 He doesn't have an original thought.

00:41:41.000 No.

00:41:41.000 He just doesn't.

00:41:42.000 When people talk about politicians who are rinse, recycle, repeat, they're specifically referring to Mike Pence.

00:41:47.000 That's right.

00:41:48.000 He's the guy.

00:41:49.000 I see 1980 when I look.

00:41:50.000 They're trying to jump in.

00:41:51.000 Let's see.

00:41:51.000 We're going to get Vivek first.

00:41:53.000 This isn't that complicated, guys.

00:41:55.000 Unlock American energy.

00:41:57.000 Drill, frack, burn coal, embrace nuclear.

00:42:00.000 I love he said burn coal.

00:42:01.000 I love it.

00:42:02.000 He's from the town where October Sky was based on.

00:42:04.000 Good way to call him on that.

00:42:05.000 Yup.

00:42:05.000 Fed, stabilize the US dollar.

00:42:07.000 He's from the town where October Sky was based on.

00:42:09.000 The only war that I will declare as US president will be the war on the federal administrative

00:42:14.000 state that is the source of those toxic regulations acting like a wet blanket on the economy.

00:42:19.000 So I'm not sure I exactly understood Mike Pence's comment, but I'll let you all parse

00:42:23.000 that out.

00:42:24.000 For me, it's pretty simple.

00:42:25.000 That's something a US president can do with focus, and I'll deliver on it.

00:42:29.000 You know what I like about him too?

00:42:30.000 He's not doing the thumb BS.

00:42:31.000 He's pointing.

00:42:32.000 He's pointing like a good Indian should. 1.00

00:42:34.000 You know, I sometimes struggle with the reading comprehension.

00:42:37.000 Look, I was a house conservative leader before it was cool.

00:42:41.000 It's still not cool, Sammy.

00:42:43.000 The last time we actually reduced national debt in the United States.

00:42:46.000 He's also a Salt-N-Pepa cover band before it was cool.

00:42:49.000 I balanced budgets and cut taxes when I was governor.

00:42:53.000 In Indiana.

00:42:53.000 Joe Lai has weakened this country at home and abroad.

00:42:57.000 Now is not the time for on-the-job training.

00:43:00.000 We don't need to bring in a real... 1.00

00:43:01.000 Oh, there's his buzzword.

00:43:02.000 He really felt...

00:43:03.000 Wow.

00:43:04.000 On-the-job...

00:43:04.000 Whoa!

00:43:05.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:43:06.000 We need new blood, Mike!

00:43:08.000 Look at him, he's even dressed like this.

00:43:10.000 I mean, I take on-the-job training over on-the-job failing, Mike.

00:43:14.000 Yes, yes.

00:43:14.000 There's no question mark with you.

00:43:15.000 It's a guarantee.

00:43:16.000 He talks like he was the president.

00:43:18.000 I know.

00:43:18.000 Alright, this is DeSantis.

00:43:20.000 This federal government handed COVID-19 by locking down this economy.

00:43:25.000 It was a mistake.

00:43:26.000 He starts to sound like Paul Lennon when he gets upset.

00:43:28.000 I'm telling you.

00:43:29.000 We kept our state free and open That's a very strong point, though, for Ron DeSantis.

00:43:35.000 He should point to him being one of the, I think, really two places, if I'm not mistaken, that did it right, as far as right-of-way unknown.

00:43:41.000 He was the first state to open back up, repeal lockdowns.

00:43:44.000 This is a strong point for him, and I hope he goes in hard on immigration, because I like how he's answered that in the past. 1.00

00:43:48.000 No amnesty.

00:43:49.000 Let's see.

00:43:49.000 He should lean into that.

00:43:52.000 He just did.

00:43:58.000 He's pointing too much.

00:43:59.000 That's too much of the pointing.

00:44:00.000 Everybody's gotten their memorized pre-prepared slogans out of the way.

00:44:03.000 We can actually have a real discussion now.

00:44:05.000 Yes.

00:44:05.000 Amen.

00:44:09.000 Not really, Mike, actually.

00:44:10.000 We're just going to have some fun tonight.

00:44:11.000 And the reality is, you have a bunch of people, professional politicians, super PAC puppets, following slogans handed over to them by their favorite Facebook tracks last week.

00:44:22.000 The real choice we face in this primary is this.

00:44:24.000 Do you want a super PAC puppet, or do you want a patriot who speaks the truth?

00:44:29.000 Do you want incremental reform, which is what you're hearing about, or do you want revolution?

00:44:34.000 Do you want a revolution?

00:44:35.000 Martha, men are talking here, quiet. 0.93

00:44:37.000 Yeah, Asa Hudson is, uh, keep silent, thank you.

00:44:38.000 Bergham's just saying, I'm just glad to be here.

00:44:40.000 I can barely stand, I'm on pain meds, I blew out my Achilles.

00:44:43.000 It looks like Scorsese!

00:44:44.000 There he is, if you watched him on Hot.

00:44:45.000 Yeah, Asa Hudson's keep silent. Thank you.

00:44:48.000 Burgum's just saying, I'm just glad to be here. I can barely stand. I'm on pain meds. I blew out my Achilles.

00:44:55.000 It looks like Scorsese. There he is. If you watched him on Hot.

00:44:57.000 ...on this stage with all these folks. I'm just happy to be here, Bob.

00:45:03.000 Bob, with these eyebrows.

00:45:05.000 They're all wishing me well. I think I took them a little too literally when they said, go to Milwaukee and break a

00:45:10.000 Oh, boy. You couldn't wait to get that one, huh, stupid? 1.00

00:45:10.000 leg. 1.00

00:45:13.000 For his Achilles.

00:45:15.000 Cross him off now, please.

00:45:17.000 I was hooping last night.

00:45:19.000 ...energy and national security are all tied together.

00:45:21.000 Of course we're paying too much for our energy in our state, in our country right now.

00:45:26.000 But part of the reason...

00:45:28.000 Are they all dressed the same or am I high?

00:45:30.000 Both.

00:45:30.000 Pretty much.

00:45:30.000 Blue suit.

00:45:30.000 chance would have been to come out with all like like swat brahma swami did today with you know

00:45:34.000 double barrel and instead he's coming out exactly showing us why he shouldn't be here

00:45:38.000 are they all dressed the same or am i high what the pretty much blue suit both and you're high

00:45:43.000 buying batteries from china we're just trading opec for sinopec and then belatedly belatedly

00:45:49.000 the biden administration says no we're going to put sanctions on russia

00:45:54.000 He looks like if Martin Scorsese and Henry Winkler had a baby.

00:45:57.000 Bring up those pictures.

00:45:58.000 That's spot on.

00:45:59.000 You buy a solar panel, it's being produced in a plant in China powered by coal, or it's being powered by oil and gas at 20% off.

00:46:07.000 And every farmer in this country would like to buy diesel at 20% off.

00:46:11.000 So this guy said, I'm going to be the energy candidate.

00:46:13.000 I was just thinking he has that.

00:46:13.000 That's right.

00:46:16.000 All the greats have their calling cards and so do the mediocres.

00:46:19.000 Oh, Asa!

00:46:20.000 I forgot you were there.

00:46:21.000 I'm a pro-life governor from a conservative state that had a conservative record in which

00:46:21.000 You may go.

00:46:29.000 I lowered taxes on Arkansas as governor.

00:46:32.000 I created a $2 billion surplus that I passed off to my successor and I made sure that we

00:46:40.000 shrunk the size of government.

00:46:42.000 We have 14% fewer state employees in Arkansas after I left government than when I took over as governor eight years ago.

00:46:51.000 I tell that because that's what we need in Washington, D.C.

00:46:55.000 We need somebody who can actually constrain the growth of the federal government, that can actually reduce the size, and I've pledged... I'm sorry, let me be really clear about something.

00:47:04.000 This is not, this is not a race about just reducing the size and spending of government.

00:47:09.000 Yes, of course, that should be a given and I get it that Republicans have spent far too much.

00:47:12.000 That is not what is going to energize the American public.

00:47:14.000 You need to make this about immigration and about corruption in the government and the media.

00:47:19.000 You need to make it about the elites just like Ramaswamy did right now.

00:47:22.000 Donald Trump could have said that right. 0.68

00:47:26.000 He's a puppet pack candidate. 0.86

00:47:27.000 He sounds like Donald Trump.

00:47:28.000 He's tearing a page from his book because he understands that that is what mobilizes people, not just talking about deficits.

00:47:33.000 Yes, that does matter, but that's not what you lead with if you need to get ahead and get American people, the American public, to actually start paying attention to you.

00:47:40.000 And especially since you've been in Congress for the last 20 seconds.

00:47:43.000 You're part of the problem.

00:47:43.000 Exactly.

00:47:44.000 Exactly.

00:47:45.000 Why is it?

00:47:46.000 Why is spending out of control?

00:47:47.000 What have you done?

00:47:48.000 Just give us the control and we'll do it.

00:47:50.000 Let me hear Brett Baier.

00:47:51.000 What's his question?

00:47:51.000 After the deadliest U.S.

00:47:53.000 wildfire in more than a century, Hawaii's governor Owie.

00:47:56.000 Wait, are you guys, is Fox News actually trying to parrot the idea that it's climate change?

00:47:59.000 It sounded like that a little bit.

00:48:01.000 of human error.

00:48:25.000 How will you, as both President of the United States and leader of the Republican Party, calm their fears that the Republican Party doesn't care about climate change?

00:48:30.000 I'm really curious to see the answer.

00:48:31.000 Please, swat it out of hand and point out that the water didn't work, that the warning didn't work, that the water didn't work, that all of their fail-safes didn't work, and that it was the guy who was the coroner from the Vegas shooting for Crenshaw.

00:48:43.000 Please clarify this.

00:48:44.000 Schoolchildren, let's have the debate. 0.92

00:48:45.000 I mean, I'm happy to take it to start.

00:48:47.000 Alexander, do you want to raise your hand?

00:48:51.000 I don't think that's the way to do it.

00:48:52.000 So let me just say to Alexander this.

00:48:54.000 First of all, one of the reasons our country's declined is because of the way the corporate media treats Republicans versus Democrats.

00:49:01.000 Biden was on the beach while those people were suffering.

00:49:04.000 He was asked about it.

00:49:05.000 He said no comment.

00:49:07.000 Are you kidding me?

00:49:08.000 As somebody that's handled disasters in Florida, you've got to be activated.

00:49:12.000 You've got to be there.

00:49:13.000 You've got to be present.

00:49:14.000 You've got to be helping people who are doing this.

00:49:16.000 And here's the deal.

00:49:20.000 Can you answer the question about climate change?

00:49:22.000 Because we want to guide this so we can sabotage everybody.

00:49:26.000 The moderator, sure.

00:49:27.000 Did they interrupt him?

00:49:28.000 Interrupt the drink.

00:49:29.000 Bring up the drinking game rules again so people can see them.

00:49:32.000 Bring up the drinking game rules again so people can see them.

00:49:34.000 Please.

00:49:35.000 Oh, he just said it's a hoax.

00:49:39.000 That's a thug life moment. 0.67

00:49:42.000 Thug life.

00:49:43.000 The carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our economy.

00:49:46.000 Can you bring up the drinking game rules for a moment?

00:49:48.000 There you go.

00:49:49.000 When people are dying of bad climate change policies, then they are an actual kind of

00:49:53.000 partner.

00:49:54.000 Any time Trump is mentioned, January 6th is mentioned, moderator interrupts a candidate,

00:49:55.000 a thug life moment, finish your drink if they mention a Democrat other than Biden.

00:49:56.000 Hold on.

00:49:58.000 Listen, listen, listen.

00:49:58.000 I've had enough.

00:50:00.000 Enough.

00:50:00.000 I've had enough already tonight.

00:50:03.000 Have you, Mr. French?

00:50:04.000 Of a guy who sounds like Chat GPT standing up here.

00:50:08.000 Oh, you stole that from a funny meme you read on 4chan, you fat son of a... And the last person in one of these debates, Brett, who stood in the middle of the stage and said, What's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here? 0.69

00:50:20.000 Obama. 0.95

00:50:20.000 Was Barack Obama. 0.95

00:50:22.000 And I'm afraid we're dealing with the same type of amateur standing on stage tonight.

00:50:25.000 Oh, that's not going to help you, Chuckles.

00:50:30.000 Say the word bully, Chris, you big girl. 0.97

00:50:32.000 Is it just me?

00:50:32.000 And by the way, hit the like button if you're watching this on YouTube or if you're watching... I never think that Chris... They say he's a tough talker.

00:50:46.000 No, he comes across as incredibly feminine to me. 0.95

00:50:48.000 Yes, he's a whiny... He's catty. 0.98

00:50:50.000 He was picked on as fat as a kid and he still has that mentality. 0.99

00:50:53.000 Yeah, he should have gotten ripped. 0.95

00:50:54.000 He's a big girl who loves heavy cream. 0.99

00:50:55.000 He kicks sand in the bully's face.

00:50:57.000 Charles, listen.

00:50:58.000 Clean air, clean water.

00:50:59.000 We want to see that taken care of.

00:51:01.000 But there's a right way to do it.

00:51:03.000 And the right way to do it is, first of all, yes, is climate change real?

00:51:07.000 Yes it is.

00:51:07.000 But if you want to go and really change the environment, then we need to start telling China and India.

00:51:12.000 Oh boy.

00:51:13.000 Oh wow.

00:51:14.000 Oh, what just happened?

00:51:15.000 Is it buffering?

00:51:16.000 Oh, there it is.

00:51:16.000 It's back.

00:51:17.000 That's where our problem is.

00:51:20.000 And these green subsidies that Biden has put in, all he's done is help China.

00:51:25.000 Because he doesn't understand all these electric vehicles that he's done.

00:51:29.000 Can someone bring up, actually, Mission Control, bring this up.

00:51:31.000 You should be able to get this in about 15 seconds.

00:51:34.000 Biden just removed, I think, was it 10 or 15 companies from the blacklist from China just today, I believe.

00:51:40.000 Or was it yesterday that he did it?

00:51:41.000 In the last day or two.

00:51:42.000 Yeah, within the last day or two.

00:51:43.000 Because we're sending an envoy over there right now in anticipation of that.

00:51:47.000 We'll have to keep appearances up.

00:51:48.000 India and China, you've got to stop polluting and that's when we'll start to deal with China. 1.00

00:51:51.000 Oh yeah, I'm sure China will get right on that. 0.92

00:51:56.000 Are you bought and paid for?

00:51:57.000 Absolutely not.

00:51:58.000 Here's what the American people deserve, is a debate about the issues that affect their lives.

00:52:04.000 Going back and forth and being childish is not helpful to the American people to decide the next leader of our country.

00:52:09.000 Was the American dream real for kids who were devastated by poverty, devastated by the challenges of life?

00:52:13.000 I'm just saying.

00:52:14.000 Show me your gums.

00:52:15.000 Was the American dream real for kids who were devastated by poverty, devastated by the challenges

00:52:23.000 of life?

00:52:24.000 I came to the conclusion that America can do for anyone what she's done for me if we 0.82

00:52:30.000 focus on restoring hope, creating opportunities, and protecting America.

00:52:34.000 If we want to be a better country.

00:52:35.000 Hey, what are the drinking game rules for an anti-thug life moment? 0.82

00:52:37.000 I think Tim Scott has forgotten that tonight.

00:52:41.000 You know what, though?

00:52:42.000 The only person who said, no, no, no, we're not doing the climate change thing, the only person was Vivek.

00:52:46.000 So good for him.

00:52:47.000 Maybe he's saying what people want to hear, but at least he's willing to speak out.

00:52:49.000 Everyone else is going, we shouldn't be childish.

00:52:51.000 China and India, what are you going to do about that, Nikki?

00:52:54.000 Because you were ambassador to the UN, who, by the way, they ignored?

00:52:58.000 All right, sorry.

00:52:59.000 Who's having a Larry Elda moment?

00:53:00.000 The some point, ah!

00:53:02.000 our carbon footprint in half in the last 25 years.

00:53:06.000 The places where they are continuing to increase, Africa, 950 million.

00:53:10.000 The sun point, ah!

00:53:11.000 India, over a billion.

00:53:13.000 Please, God.

00:53:13.000 China, over a billion.

00:53:14.000 Why would we put ourselves at a disadvantage, devastating our own economy?

00:53:20.000 Let's bring our jobs home. 0.85

00:53:22.000 Look, here's what you do.

00:53:24.000 Finish the line of questioning.

00:53:26.000 Why would we put our country?

00:53:27.000 Here's what you do.

00:53:28.000 You say, why does the Biden administration want to put us at a disadvantage to these countries that want to see us fail?

00:53:34.000 Places like China.

00:53:35.000 Right, these great polluters out there who have no intention of honoring these international agreements whatsoever, but will cripple the American economy. 0.99

00:53:41.000 That's right, because they're not looking out for you.

00:53:43.000 They're not looking out for the American people.

00:53:45.000 They're looking out for international interests because they're bought and paid for.

00:53:48.000 We can talk about Joe Biden's connections with the Chinese government.

00:53:52.000 He's talked about it quite a bit.

00:53:53.000 We can talk about their connections with Ukraine, if you want to understand why we've dedicated $135 billion.

00:53:58.000 I know we haven't spent it all yet, but the question needs to be asked, and then all of us here need to have the balls, if I may, to answer.

00:54:04.000 That's not an answer.

00:54:06.000 Give an answer.

00:54:07.000 That's the guy who's going to win this.

00:54:08.000 That's the guy who's going to make up some ground.

00:54:10.000 I don't know who you guys are hiring, but aside from Vivek tonight, fire them!

00:54:15.000 Is it just me?

00:54:17.000 Please send in your comments.

00:54:19.000 It feels very dated, their approach.

00:54:22.000 We've seen this show a thousand times.

00:54:24.000 Well, and I think we're tired of it.

00:54:25.000 We're absolutely tired of hearing these canned responses.

00:54:28.000 And Nikki Haley's like, does climate change exist?

00:54:30.000 Absolutely.

00:54:31.000 Well, it depends on what you mean by that.

00:54:32.000 Does man-made climate change exist?

00:54:34.000 I don't know.

00:54:35.000 Do we have an impact on it?

00:54:36.000 Yeah, I'm sure to some degree, but if you look at a lot of the science that's coming out right now... That's too much.

00:54:40.000 I'll tell you what you say.

00:54:41.000 You say man-made climate change.

00:54:42.000 What they need to say is man-made climate change.

00:54:43.000 Look, maybe there's some debate about that, but about which there can be no debate is Joe Biden can't fix it.

00:54:50.000 There you go.

00:54:52.000 Then you expand upon it.

00:54:53.000 You expand upon it if you have that time, but the point is people, and I get it, you're nerdy, so am I, a little bit, but guess what?

00:54:59.000 People, you only have a few seconds to punch in and punch out, and if you're so busy tripping over yourself and your advisor's talking points to get to something prefab, you're never going to connect with the people.

00:55:09.000 I get it, you think Donald Trump's bombastic, but you know what?

00:55:11.000 Bombastic is better than completely inauthentic.

00:55:15.000 The only people here tonight who have a remote chance have been Vivek and potentially Ron DeSantis, but he also needs to just relax.

00:55:22.000 Max a little.

00:55:22.000 Bombastic won twice, by the way.

00:55:25.000 They gave us that.

00:55:26.000 It was actually dozens of companies that were removed.

00:55:27.000 Dozens of companies.

00:55:28.000 I thought it was 15.

00:55:30.000 But also, we may have some clips from Trump.

00:55:33.000 Toolman, do you have any of those over there?

00:55:34.000 Donald Trump with Tucker Carlson?

00:55:35.000 Yeah, speaking of Trump.

00:55:37.000 And then we actually have our on-the-ground correspondent, Finnegan, who's actually out there today at the RNC debate.

00:55:42.000 Oh my gosh, what's he going to do?

00:55:43.000 Oh wow, they give me a lot of clips.

00:55:44.000 Yeah, we do.

00:55:45.000 Just pick the first one off the top.

00:55:47.000 All right, let's run these now.

00:55:48.000 These are the highlights from Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson as they are at commercial break with the RNC debate.

00:55:53.000 Stand by.

00:55:53.000 There we go.

00:55:56.000 That's a war that should end immediately, not because of one side or the other, because hundreds of thousands of people are being killed.

00:56:04.000 Can you imagine you're in a department house and rockets are going into that building and blowing it up and knocking it down?

00:56:11.000 Who can?

00:56:12.000 Why should anything, why should anybody, human beings, whether they're Russian or Ukrainian or whatever they are, it's got to be stopped. 1.00

00:56:20.000 And it can't be stopped very easily.

00:56:22.000 It would have never started if I were president.

00:56:25.000 It would have never started.

00:56:26.000 Now I can tell you exactly what the media is going to say.

00:56:28.000 Oh, he equivocated between innocent Ukrainians and evil Russians. 0.99

00:56:31.000 They're going to say Donald Trump said Russians just like Ukrainians, which of course is horseshit. 0.99

00:56:35.000 He's a guy who's saying we shouldn't have a war. 0.95

00:56:37.000 I can tell you exactly what the media's going to do.

00:56:39.000 Come back tomorrow, tell me if I'm wrong on that clip.

00:56:42.000 Do we have context for the next clip that we can run?

00:56:44.000 Sorry, I just get so angry when I watch something and I know that it's a losing play.

00:56:49.000 And this is what the... Hey, you know what the problem is?

00:56:51.000 You want to know what a little bit of the problem is?

00:56:53.000 It's the fact that these people are all beholden to the same non-profit donors.

00:56:56.000 Why do you think that YAF gets the first question?

00:56:58.000 Why do you think it was a layup for climate change?

00:57:00.000 I like a lot of people at YAF, just to be clear.

00:57:02.000 I like a lot of people at these non-profits.

00:57:04.000 But the billions of dollars, ironically, in the free enterprise capitalist movement, unfortunately, the purse strings are held by non-profit donors who are out of touch with the American public.

00:57:13.000 Sure, they'll talk about Trump when it's convenient for clicks.

00:57:16.000 But why was YAF asking a question about climate change at the RNC debate?

00:57:20.000 How many trains did not run on time for that to happen?

00:57:24.000 Exactly.

00:57:25.000 By the way, just so you know, the debate is taking a break right now.

00:57:28.000 That's why we're covering some of the Trump stuff.

00:57:29.000 So just want to make sure that you guys know that.

00:57:31.000 But we do have some more Trump clips there, and I think they are labeled by what they're talking about, at least.

00:57:36.000 All right.

00:57:38.000 The second one talks about Biden.

00:57:41.000 Talks about Biden.

00:57:42.000 Joe won't make it.

00:57:42.000 Let's see this one.

00:57:43.000 Joe won't make it.

00:57:44.000 Joe Biden is so bad. 0.89

00:57:45.000 He's the worst president in the history of our country. 0.83

00:57:48.000 I don't think he's going to make it to the gate, but you know, you never know. 1.00

00:57:52.000 But he's a corrupt person. 0.99

00:57:54.000 So corrupt that I took the name off Hillary. 1.00

00:57:55.000 You know, I don't do two people at one time.

00:57:57.000 I took the Crooked Hillary and I made it... I retired the name.

00:58:00.000 It was a good day for her.

00:58:01.000 I bet she was very happy.

00:58:04.000 And I used it for Joe because it's Crooked Joe.

00:58:06.000 But Joe is really... But you don't think he's going to make it to November of 2020?

00:58:10.000 Well, I think he's worse mentally than he is physically.

00:58:13.000 That's what I said. 0.92

00:58:13.000 I know. 0.92

00:58:14.000 I know.

00:58:14.000 That's what Gerald thinks too.

00:58:16.000 A triathlete?

00:58:17.000 He's not going to be there.

00:58:17.000 And you guys can comment, especially if you're watching right now on Mug Club.

00:58:20.000 If you're not a member, we'll go to Mug Club exclusively with some interviews from candidates today.

00:58:23.000 Lidovka.com slash Mug Club.

00:58:25.000 Everyone here, aside from me, thinks that the nominee for the Democrats will not be Joe Biden.

00:58:29.000 Let me know what you think.

00:58:29.000 Let's go right now.

00:58:30.000 They're asking Nikki Haley a question.

00:58:35.000 Thank you, Martha.

00:58:36.000 I am unapologetically pro-life.

00:58:39.000 Not because the Republican Party tells me to be, but because my husband was adopted and I had trouble having both of my children, so I'm surrounded by blessings.

00:58:48.000 Having said that, we need to stop demonizing this issue.

00:58:52.000 This is talking about the fact that unelected justices didn't need to decide something this personal, because it's personal for every woman and man.

00:59:00.000 Now it's been put in the hands of the people.

00:59:02.000 I've got to tell you, it really seems like Fox News is trying to set up these people to fail.

00:59:07.000 Asking a leading question about the abortion issue because they see that that's been a losing issue on the state level with people not understanding Heller vs. DC and the overturning with the docs.

00:59:15.000 And same thing right there when they're asking about climate change.

00:59:18.000 It's like I'm watching CNN or MSNBC.

00:59:21.000 I don't know, it's just what I'm seeing right now.

00:59:24.000 Let's hear her finish her answer.

00:59:25.000 No one is saying that.

00:59:26.000 No one is saying that.

00:59:27.000 Boom.

00:59:27.000 That's a wolf in sheep's clothing right there.

00:59:29.000 Her using that talking point.

00:59:30.000 And can't we all agree that we are not going to put a woman in jail or give her the death 0.99

00:59:34.000 penalty if she gets an abortion? 1.00

00:59:37.000 No one is saying that.

00:59:38.000 No one is saying that.

00:59:39.000 Boom.

00:59:40.000 That's a wolf in sheep's clothing right there.

00:59:42.000 Her using that talking point. 0.85

00:59:43.000 Point me to one governor who is saying that a woman should get a death penalty for having 0.99

00:59:49.000 an abortion performed if she is raped.

00:59:51.000 There's not one person saying that. 0.87

00:59:53.000 It's like she took that straight out of Salon.

00:59:55.000 Or Slate. 1.00

00:59:56.000 Or insert your shitty blog here. 0.99

01:00:00.000 What do you say to him and others who say, politically, that is a tough thing to sell nationally? 0.99

01:00:05.000 You know, actually, really quickly, let's go live to our on-the-ground correspondent.

01:00:08.000 Actually, he's out there, right?

01:00:09.000 He's gotten some interviews.

01:00:11.000 Thomas Finnegan, he's down there.

01:00:12.000 Do we have him?

01:00:13.000 Yes, we do.

01:00:15.000 Because this is a boring question right now that they're asking.

01:00:18.000 It honestly is a setup.

01:00:19.000 I don't want to play these games.

01:00:20.000 Let's go right now.

01:00:21.000 Alright, Mr. Finnegan, big night.

01:00:30.000 What do you got for us?

01:00:31.000 Hi, Steven.

01:00:32.000 I'm ready to go.

01:00:33.000 Yeah.

01:00:34.000 Wait, where are... I'm at Mike Pence's bathroom.

01:00:36.000 Why?

01:00:36.000 I'm hiding out.

01:00:37.000 I'm gonna get you a candidate-exclusive interview.

01:00:40.000 Are you out of your mind?

01:00:41.000 How did he get past security?

01:00:42.000 He went to jail.

01:00:44.000 I just walked in.

01:00:45.000 I don't think they like him very much.

01:00:47.000 Wait, I gotta go. I hear someone coming.

01:00:50.000 Woof! Woof! 1.00

01:00:55.000 Woof! 0.98

01:00:59.000 you I

01:01:03.000 I'm sorry about that.

01:01:06.000 Maybe not.

01:01:06.000 I don't think we should ever expect better from Thomas Finnegan.

01:01:08.000 But you called it, where is something like that coming from?

01:01:11.000 An article from Salon?

01:01:14.000 SC, GOP bill would subject those obtaining abortions to the death penalty.

01:01:17.000 How did you know? 0.99

01:01:20.000 It's almost like I've done this for a while and Nikki Haley's a crook and hack. 1.00

01:01:23.000 Alright, let's go back to Ron DeSantis. 0.97

01:01:25.000 Hey, Mike Pence is talking.

01:01:27.000 Let's all hurry so we can not care.

01:01:29.000 Well look, I'm not new to this cause. 0.98

01:01:33.000 I tell you what you are new to, not sucking.

01:01:35.000 After I gave my life to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I opened up the book and I read, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.

01:01:42.000 And by the way, I agree with all, but this is not, the first debate should not be about the abortion issue for these candidates, and the way they framed the question was obviously one trying to get people to slip up.

01:01:53.000 I get that Mike Pence is trying to position himself as a social conservative, which I am through and through.

01:01:58.000 I'm as pro-life as you get.

01:01:59.000 But the line of questioning tonight, do not be fooled.

01:02:02.000 Climate change is the most discussed issue in our generation, and then the next question after that, or two questions later, is the abortion issue that's being misrepresented.

01:02:11.000 This is going to tell you who your friends are when you look at people like Nikki Haley and how they answer.

01:02:14.000 I guarantee you that Mike Pence has a good answer, but this is a no-win situation for these people this early in a campaign.

01:02:20.000 You know what they won't ask?

01:02:21.000 They won't ask a single Democrat to put a limit on abortion.

01:02:25.000 Not one.

01:02:25.000 That'll never happen.

01:02:27.000 Let's say it's not nine months.

01:02:29.000 When is it?

01:02:29.000 Is it eight?

01:02:30.000 Is it seven?

01:02:31.000 Is it six?

01:02:31.000 And you'll find out really quickly who has the more reasonable policy.

01:02:34.000 I'm just really disappointed that Fox News is doing this, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

01:02:37.000 Nobody's talking about abortion.

01:02:38.000 I read the headlines every day for the last two months.

01:02:41.000 Well, one person is.

01:02:42.000 Other than Salon.

01:02:43.000 Fox News.

01:02:43.000 Well, that's what I'm saying.

01:02:45.000 I'm validating your point.

01:02:46.000 I haven't heard anybody mention abortion.

01:02:48.000 I'm sorry, I was distracted looking for a fly on Mike Pence's hair.

01:02:55.000 No, his hair is actually just a bunch of deceased flies.

01:02:57.000 Really?

01:02:58.000 It's like one of those wax machines.

01:02:59.000 Oh, you're gonna get your good.

01:03:00.000 Oh, he's gagging at that.

01:03:04.000 Oh, here we go.

01:03:04.000 Female victim.

01:03:05.000 Do not, you don't have a vagina, no opinion. 1.00

01:03:07.000 Really? 1.00

01:03:07.000 Alright, well, you know what? 1.00

01:03:08.000 all those state laws don't make women feel like they have to decide on this 1.00

01:03:11.000 issue when you know we don't have 60 Senate votes in the house.

01:03:16.000 Oh here we go.

01:03:17.000 Robiney Gibbs a shell victim. 1.00

01:03:19.000 Do not you don't have a vagina no opinion really? 1.00

01:03:22.000 He sucks. 1.00

01:03:23.000 You know what there's never been a male president so you can't run. 1.00

01:03:27.000 What are you doing here, stupid? 1.00

01:03:28.000 Sorry, female president. 1.00

01:03:29.000 You have to be honest with the American people.

01:03:30.000 We have to have a 15-week agreement.

01:03:31.000 Let's get Governor Bergman for one minute here.

01:03:34.000 For anything.

01:03:35.000 Do you really think you have a shot?

01:03:38.000 Yes. 1.00

01:03:39.000 What are you doing here, stupid? 1.00

01:03:41.000 The result of that decision was that it went back to the states. 1.00

01:03:45.000 So that's where it is right now.

01:03:46.000 So as I understand it, you are not in favor.

01:03:50.000 What do you say about the states?

01:03:54.000 There's about five of them, including New Jersey.

01:03:57.000 I think a few others.

01:03:59.000 that allow abortion up until the time of birth, though.

01:04:02.000 If you were president, would you be able to abide that?

01:04:06.000 First of all, I'm a pro-life governor of a very pro-life state.

01:04:10.000 And this issue is, of course, very important.

01:04:13.000 But I am on the record and I stand behind that we should not have a federal abortion ban.

01:04:19.000 We should not.

01:04:19.000 And the reason why we shouldn't is very simple.

01:04:21.000 There is no federal abortion ban, though.

01:04:23.000 In the Constitution.

01:04:24.000 There is no federal abortion ban.

01:04:25.000 No, he's saying that they're basically pushing for it.

01:04:27.000 That's what the argument was with Nikki Haley and Mike Pence.

01:04:30.000 Right.

01:04:30.000 Pushing for a federal abortion ban.

01:04:31.000 And he's saying, look, that's a states' rights issue.

01:04:34.000 Right.

01:04:34.000 He just pulled out a little Constitution, it was actually a flask.

01:04:39.000 He did!

01:04:39.000 Oh jeez.

01:04:42.000 That man owns no upper lip.

01:04:43.000 We can't have Republicans who fight for 50 years for this great cause to return it back to the states, and then the next day they turn around and go, no the feds should do that, because the feds are stepping into people's lives, they're stepping into people's businesses.

01:04:57.000 And as someone who does view it as the termination of a life, I also understand.

01:05:02.000 This is the middle ground that people talked about, that Republicans need to take.

01:05:06.000 It goes to the states, and I understand people making the argument, yeah, but murder is illegal on a federal level, I understand, but as far as what you can accomplish politically, this is about as good as you're going to get, and states can enact their laws.

01:05:17.000 And they need to do a better job of doing that within their states.

01:05:20.000 But this is not a fair question to touch on.

01:05:22.000 And also credit where credit's due, Nick, you kind of nailed it with the flask constitution.

01:05:26.000 I didn't even know that was a thing, but I guess that's...

01:05:28.000 But he can't purse his lip up against it, it'll just dribble right down to his underpants.

01:05:34.000 This is the guy, out of all of them, that's making me laugh, that he's there.

01:05:38.000 I know.

01:05:38.000 Mr. Hutchinson?

01:05:39.000 Out of there. 0.66

01:05:40.000 Well, left and friggin' right.

01:05:41.000 He is. 0.96

01:05:41.000 Just name a lefty. 0.96

01:05:43.000 Chris Christie.

01:05:43.000 Through the term.

01:05:44.000 So they have their extreme position at a national level.

01:05:48.000 We is most likely going to be addressed in the states, but it's certainly fine for it to be addressed at the national level.

01:05:54.000 You say we is most likely going to be addressed?

01:05:57.000 Well, is we is, or is we ain't, with the Confederates hat!

01:06:01.000 I signed 30 pro-life pieces of legislation while I was governor.

01:06:06.000 30?

01:06:07.000 How many does it take?

01:06:09.000 Exactly.

01:06:09.000 I thought it was one.

01:06:10.000 Thank you.

01:06:11.000 And it is the most important issue for women and for the unborn child and for our country that we get this right.

01:06:18.000 Hold on, it's not just for women anymore, abortion.

01:06:21.000 That's true.

01:06:22.000 I'm telling you.

01:06:23.000 Men can have abortions too. 1.00

01:06:24.000 Absolutely. 0.89

01:06:25.000 I mean, your prostate won't be the biggest fan of it.

01:06:27.000 You don't even have to go to Planned Parenthood.

01:06:29.000 You just play football with your buddies in the backyard, have a few beers, get blindsided, and Timmy ends up in the street.

01:06:35.000 Those are things we've done in Arkansas and are important for our nation's future.

01:06:39.000 I don't know what was happening.

01:06:42.000 We were just supposed to be touch football and Bobby ended up with a miscarriage.

01:06:45.000 Poor Bobby.

01:06:47.000 Like California, New York, and Illinois have abortions on demand.

01:06:52.000 I like Tim Scott.

01:06:53.000 He just didn't come to play.

01:06:54.000 Black people aren't boring. 0.99

01:06:56.000 How do we pick a boring black guy? 1.00

01:06:59.000 You're not. 0.99

01:07:00.000 You're not boring.

01:07:01.000 One thing you can say about black people, they're interesting people. 1.00

01:07:03.000 Where do we find this fucking man? 1.00

01:07:05.000 Ben Carson was already taken. 1.00

01:07:06.000 Oh, boy.

01:07:28.000 That is a list.

01:07:29.000 That is an issue we must solve.

01:07:33.000 We can't leave it to Illinois.

01:07:34.000 We can't leave it to Minnesota.

01:07:35.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:07:36.000 Yes, you can.

01:07:36.000 Why do you start talking like Octavia Spencer when she cries?

01:07:39.000 I know.

01:07:40.000 We can't.

01:07:41.000 I said.

01:07:42.000 He's doing the inward talking. 0.90

01:07:45.000 He sounded like Hillary doing a black guy. 1.00

01:07:48.000 I'll go back to the woman's shelter, silly. 1.00

01:07:51.000 Nikki Haley got it right. 0.99

01:07:51.000 Ask the Dems. 0.99

01:07:52.000 So are your ratings.

01:07:53.000 As drugs and crime move in, Mr. Scott, you know about that.

01:07:55.000 I'm just joshing you.

01:07:56.000 the homeless crisis. American cities are in decline. People are moving out as

01:08:02.000 homelessness, drugs, crime move in. There are problems accelerated. As drugs and

01:08:07.000 crime move in, Mr. Scott, you know about that. I'm just joshing you. Hey, Asa

01:08:10.000 Hutchinson, this one's for you. New York, Chicago, all up 30% between 29

01:08:16.000 I respect for the homeless.

01:08:17.000 What is that?

01:08:18.000 I love how they blur the face of the homeless person out of respect for the homeless.

01:08:22.000 What is that?

01:08:23.000 I wouldn't sign the...

01:08:24.000 Vice President Pence, a lot of this began in the COVID era. 0.99

01:08:27.000 Sir, if you wouldn't mind showing your ass crack next to the big gulp, don't worry, I'll 0.99

01:08:30.000 blur your face. 0.99

01:08:31.000 How do you plan on stopping what's happening around this country as a result of those COVID

01:08:35.000 lockdowns and is your administration in part to blame for how we got here?

01:08:39.000 Well, I think what's in part to blame is the Democrats been talking about defunding the

01:08:43.000 police for the last five years.

01:08:46.000 And we ought to be funding law enforcement, particularly in our major cities, at unprecedented levels.

01:08:52.000 I mean, it's extraordinary to think about the violence that's claiming innocent lives literally every week in every major city in this country.

01:09:00.000 And yet Democrats and liberal prosecutors in major metropolitan areas continue to To work out their fanciful agendas, to do bail reform.

01:09:12.000 What we need is strong... It's bigger than that, Mike.

01:09:15.000 It's a cultural revolution.

01:09:17.000 ...leadership in Washington, D.C.

01:09:19.000 that will marshal the resources of the states, marshal the resources of the Americas.

01:09:22.000 He's like Jiminy Cricket if I could stomp him.

01:09:24.000 ...opportunity.

01:09:25.000 A lot of people don't know that those... While he's talking, we want to bring up some of the Trump with Tucker interview.

01:09:31.000 Can someone just give me some context?

01:09:32.000 Because I'm flying blind.

01:09:33.000 I have no idea what's coming up.

01:09:34.000 So I've got plenty of Trump stuff, just kind of feathering it in.

01:09:36.000 So here's him talking about Gavin Newsom.

01:09:39.000 Oh, wonderful.

01:09:39.000 That should be fun.

01:09:41.000 Bye, Mike.

01:09:43.000 Newsom.

01:09:44.000 Newsom. 1.00

01:09:44.000 Asshole! 1.00

01:09:45.000 We're switching. 1.00

01:09:46.000 It says Newsom.

01:09:47.000 Three.

01:09:49.000 Two.

01:09:49.000 Newsom.

01:09:49.000 Give me more time.

01:09:51.000 One. 0.56

01:09:51.000 Keep cutting him. 0.56

01:09:52.000 We have like 20. 0.81

01:09:53.000 Newsom.

01:09:54.000 Guys, just give us the highlights.

01:09:55.000 We don't have 20 clips.

01:09:56.000 Don't cut all of it.

01:09:57.000 Okay, Newsom.

01:09:57.000 They cut everything.

01:10:01.000 Newsome!

01:10:04.000 All right, let's go to Chris Christie because he's going to say something that will be around the country.

01:10:09.000 Talking about chicken cacciatore.

01:10:10.000 Blame this crisis on easy access to guns.

01:10:13.000 They also blame Republicans for blocking gun control legislation.

01:10:18.000 This may be a layup for Chris Christie to sabotage himself because he's incredibly anti-gun.

01:10:22.000 I'm the only person along with Governor Hutchinson up on this stage who's actually running United States Attorney's Office.

01:10:28.000 I ran the fifth largest office in America in a state where there is significant urban crime.

01:10:34.000 The oblong office.

01:10:36.000 Did you make it the fifth largest office?

01:10:37.000 Exactly.

01:10:38.000 It was a broom closet.

01:10:39.000 It was the eighth!

01:10:40.000 Oh, you got the hat there.

01:10:41.000 The West Wings. 1.00

01:10:43.000 Oh, tell me facts, it's bullshit. 1.00

01:10:44.000 ...are refusing to do their job and to arrest violent criminals. 0.99

01:10:48.000 So what a President Christie would do is appoint an Attorney General who would instruct each of the 93.

01:10:53.000 If I'm not mistaken, why didn't Governor Christie, you guys fact check, bring this up for me please in mission control,

01:10:58.000 why didn't Governor Christie get rid of the waiting period?

01:11:00.000 I believe it was 30 days and there was a woman who actually had a restraining order out against her ex-husband I

01:11:04.000 believe, or maybe it was her current fiance, who ended up being

01:11:07.000 killed because she needed a gun immediately. 0.96

01:11:09.000 So when people say, why do you need a gun right away?

01:11:11.000 Why can't you have a cooling down period?

01:11:12.000 I don't know.

01:11:13.000 Sometimes people need to purchase a firearm to defend themselves for a specific situation.

01:11:18.000 Governor Christie was probably the most left, if I'm not mistaken, if there's a rating system, probably the worst Republican governor in the history of the Second Amendment.

01:11:26.000 That's why he wants to talk about who he appointed.

01:11:30.000 In your case, Waddle.

01:11:30.000 Let's see what he has.

01:11:31.000 Alright, good.

01:11:32.000 Good.

01:11:32.000 sponsored by his father.

01:11:34.000 And then you have a Justice Department that walks away from those charges.

01:11:38.000 In your case, Waddle.

01:11:39.000 People got the Waddles and applied to everybody.

01:11:41.000 In a Christie administration, he would go to jail for 10 years.

01:11:45.000 What about a President Ramaswamy?

01:11:47.000 What does a President Ramaswamy do about guns?

01:11:51.000 So the reality is we have a crime wave in this country and we know how to fix it.

01:11:54.000 The question is do we actually have the spine to do it?

01:11:57.000 More cops in the streets who are on the streets able to do their jobs without looking over their shoulder for getting sued.

01:12:03.000 And we also have a mental health epidemic in this country.

01:12:06.000 Just over the same period that we have closed mental health institutions, we have seen a spike in violent crime.

01:12:12.000 Do we have the spine to bring them back?

01:12:13.000 I think we should.

01:12:14.000 As president, I will.

01:12:15.000 But it's not just drugging up people in those psychiatric institutions with Zoloft and Seroquel.

01:12:20.000 It's a deeper issue.

01:12:21.000 I think faith-based approaches can play a role here, too.

01:12:25.000 We're in the middle of a national identity crisis.

01:12:28.000 And I say this as a member of my generation, the problem in our country right now, the reason we have that mental health epidemic, is that people are so hungry for purpose and meaning at a time when family, faith, patriotism, hard work have all disappeared.

01:12:44.000 What we really need is a tonal reset from the top, saying that this is what it means to be an American.

01:12:49.000 Yes, we will stand for the rule of law.

01:12:51.000 Yes, we will close the southern border where criminals are coming in.

01:12:54.000 Boom! 0.99

01:12:54.000 Fit it in there. 0.99

01:12:55.000 Good.

01:12:55.000 Thug life moment.

01:12:56.000 First guy to fit in immigration. 0.99

01:12:57.000 Remember who we really are.

01:12:59.000 And that's also how we address that mental health epidemic in the next generation that is directly leading to violent crime. 0.61

01:13:05.000 Can I speak to Governor DeSantis really quickly?

01:13:08.000 Governor DeSantis.

01:13:08.000 Let's see what he says.

01:13:12.000 We're not looking for a new national identity.

01:13:14.000 The American people are the most faith-filled, freedom-loving, idealistic, hard-working people the world has ever known.

01:13:21.000 We just need government as good as our people.

01:13:23.000 We don't need government, Perry. 1.00

01:13:24.000 It's stupid. 1.00

01:13:27.000 Good, he's true. 1.00

01:13:32.000 Good.

01:13:33.000 And by the way, if you go back to Ronald Reagan, everyone acts like Ronald Reagan was just shining city on a hill.

01:13:40.000 No, at the beginning of his campaigns, he talked about where they were in that country.

01:13:43.000 When he smoked Carter, he talked about the dark days of America, and then transitioned into a plan.

01:13:48.000 Mike Pence is delusional.

01:13:49.000 That does not resonate with the American public, and certainly not people who will vote for a Republican.

01:13:52.000 Let me hear you, Governor DeSantis.

01:13:55.000 How do you stop- Follow that act, DeSantis.

01:13:57.000 ... crimes at a 50-year low in Florida.

01:13:59.000 We're happy with that.

01:14:00.000 Well, statewide, it's a 50-year low.

01:14:03.000 So here's the thing.

01:14:04.000 Brett was too ready with- Yeah, yes.

01:14:07.000 This is a symptom of America's decline, and one of the biggest reasons is because you have George Soros funding these radical left-wing district attorneys.

01:14:16.000 They get into office, and they say they're not- Yeah, we all know that.

01:14:19.000 We're going to do it, buddy.

01:14:20.000 They disagree with the inmates start running the asylum.

01:14:22.000 There's one guy in this entire country that's ever done anything about that.

01:14:27.000 Me.

01:14:28.000 That is true.

01:14:28.000 We had two of these district attorneys in Florida elected with Soros funding who said they wouldn't do their job.

01:14:35.000 I removed them from their post.

01:14:37.000 They are gone.

01:14:38.000 Boom.

01:14:39.000 He needs to leave.

01:14:39.000 Boom.

01:14:40.000 Good thug life moment. 0.84

01:14:40.000 We'll need some refills on the beers because I know I'm out. 0.84

01:14:43.000 President, we are going to go after all of these people because they are hurting the quality of life and they are victimizing innocent people in every corner of this country and it will stop when I get into office.

01:14:55.000 Okay, you were right on Chris Christie.

01:14:57.000 It was a 30-day waiting period and there was a woman who was killed while waiting on her gun permit for protection.

01:15:03.000 And how old is that?

01:15:04.000 I'm bringing that from, that's probably what, that's going back to Obama days.

01:15:07.000 That is 2015.

01:15:08.000 2015, so good job guys.

01:15:13.000 Thank you guys.

01:15:13.000 Excuse me, Dracula's talking.

01:15:14.000 Excuse me, Dracula's talking.

01:15:16.000 ... accountability, there's transparency. One thing that I think this country could use...

01:15:18.000 One vote! 1.00

01:15:19.000 Nikki, I want to suck your blood! 1.00

01:15:21.000 ... small town values... 1.00

01:15:22.000 He was laying down to get this country on track again.

01:15:25.000 We can do it in North Dakota.

01:15:27.000 Look at that smile!

01:15:29.000 As former head of the DEA, I understand the drug crisis in America.

01:15:34.000 I just want to be president, is that too much to ask?

01:15:37.000 Hey guys, I'm doing my best!

01:15:39.000 There's three simple words that would be helpful.

01:15:42.000 One, enforce the law when it comes to crime.

01:15:45.000 Asa looks like what Mike Pence is going to look like in another 15 years.

01:15:48.000 ... the challenge of fentanyl. 1.00

01:15:51.000 He has eyes like those white rats. 0.99

01:15:54.000 You know the white rats that have the eyes that are inflamed? 0.97

01:15:58.000 Yeah, but he looks like they're probably red. 0.77

01:16:02.000 Usually.

01:16:02.000 And he has a tail.

01:16:03.000 Yeah, he does.

01:16:04.000 Well, that's really more of a growth of the coccyx bone.

01:16:07.000 Tailbone, but these are medical terms that you need. 0.79

01:16:10.000 The coccyx?

01:16:11.000 Yeah.

01:16:11.000 I'm saying right now, I can move my left hand thanks to balance and ages.

01:16:14.000 Look at me.

01:16:14.000 I couldn't do this Wednesday.

01:16:14.000 As president of the United States look at me stop. I couldn't do this one starts at the top

01:16:20.000 I rubbed one out today the fucking Undermined by attacking judges by attacking 0.96

01:16:28.000 I'm sorry. 0.97

01:16:30.000 No seriously, we're not, like, he isn't actually paralyzed on his right side, right?

01:16:39.000 Like, we're not just joking about something.

01:16:40.000 Nah, I don't think so. 0.97

01:16:41.000 He's just, he's just a bit of an asshat who refuses to remove, to move his right arm at all. 0.95

01:16:46.000 No, he's like a hip-hop guy. 1.00

01:16:47.000 He's grabbing his balls. 0.99

01:16:49.000 where former president Donald Trump will be processed tomorrow. 0.98

01:16:53.000 The next two candidates will have an opportunity to talk about the coming trials.

01:16:58.000 They're going to a break it looks like.

01:16:59.000 That's Fulton County that street?

01:17:00.000 Well really quick, what were you about to say there?

01:17:02.000 I was about to say we can go to another Trump clip if you want to or if you want to provide

01:17:05.000 something of commentary there.

01:17:07.000 He was basically saying at the federal level we're going to stop these smashing riots.

01:17:10.000 I'm like, really?

01:17:11.000 How? 0.99

01:17:12.000 Because that's a state issue that you have to deal with, and really, it's a city issue that you have to deal with, and you have to get these stupid Democrats to have better policies in these cities where these things are occurring. 0.97

01:17:20.000 That's not a federal send-in-the-police thing, because you don't have a police that you should be sending in. 0.67

01:17:24.000 I think you're right, but really quickly, we should probably go to, since we have a break here, some of your content, where you were down there in Milwaukee.

01:17:29.000 What we're about to see here first is you spend some time, this is, if I'm not mistaken, exclusive on-the-ground footage.

01:17:34.000 With Kerry Lake and other candidates?

01:17:35.000 Yeah, catcher for the brewers.

01:17:37.000 Okay.

01:17:37.000 We've got the Chris Christie ad.

01:17:39.000 Yeah, well actually there's a new campaign ad from Chris Christie that's right before that if you want to hit that.

01:17:43.000 So it's right before his original.

01:17:45.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:17:45.000 Okay, let's do that.

01:17:45.000 We have a new Chris Christie ad that we have the exclusive here at Loud Earth Crowder.

01:17:49.000 Of course you can join Mug Club. 0.97

01:17:50.000 LoudEarthCrowder.com slash Mug Club.

01:17:51.000 And then Gerald was there on location in Milwaukee and you can see the answers that we got from some of these candidates.

01:17:58.000 Chris Christie.

01:18:00.000 I can't guarantee you success.

01:18:03.000 In what I'm about to do.

01:18:05.000 For the working man.

01:18:06.000 Um, you're gonna get some straight talk from New Jersey.

01:18:11.000 For the truth.

01:18:12.000 Bag of M&M's.

01:18:14.000 Right?

01:18:14.000 Donald Trump doesn't even have this at games.

01:18:17.000 Because the truth matters.

01:18:19.000 If you are in search of the perfect candidate, it is time to leave.

01:18:23.000 I am not it.

01:18:24.000 We're gonna be small, or are we gonna be big?

01:18:29.000 And that's why I came back to tell all of you that I intend to seek the Republican nomination for

01:18:34.000 President of the United States in 2024, and I want your support.

01:18:37.000 Chris Christie, you make good cookies.

01:18:44.000 Carrie Lake has decided to join us.

01:18:54.000 Kerry, thank you very much for being here.

01:18:55.000 It's so good to be back on, and to be in beautiful Milwaukee.

01:18:58.000 Wow, they've done a great job with this city.

01:19:00.000 Absolutely.

01:19:01.000 We were talking about this, I believe, earlier in the year, and I said, look, the best possible scenario is four more years of Donald Trump, and then eight years of DeSantis at the time.

01:19:09.000 Because I thought, just stay out of it.

01:19:11.000 Donald Trump is going to go and become president again.

01:19:14.000 And you thought that DeSantis would be smart enough, but he's not.

01:19:16.000 I thought he would be, right?

01:19:17.000 And that would be good for him.

01:19:18.000 And the thing that people liked about DeSantis, he's not been doing any of that.

01:19:22.000 It's almost like he's taking kind of that Mitt Romney turn that cost him to change when he was facing off against Barack Obama.

01:19:27.000 And it's like, don't go be who they want you to be.

01:19:30.000 But I do believe that President Trump will be victorious at this debate, even though he's not even there.

01:19:35.000 I don't know that there's any point in him coming to some of these debates.

01:19:37.000 I don't think that people are going to suspend their campaigns because they are banking on President Trump.

01:19:41.000 President Trump either running out of money, running out of support, or just not wanting to deal with it.

01:19:45.000 I don't think any of those things are going to happen, so good luck with that.

01:19:48.000 Well, he's never going to run out of support.

01:19:50.000 The people who love President Trump love him, and they will vote for him no matter where he is.

01:19:54.000 They can try to lock him up, they'll still vote for him.

01:19:56.000 Absolutely.

01:19:56.000 And I will tell you, he's already won the debate.

01:19:58.000 I have been doing interviews for the last couple of weeks about the debate, and not once has anybody asked me about the other candidates.

01:20:05.000 It's all questions about Trump.

01:20:06.000 No.

01:20:07.000 You wake up, you turn the news on, it's about Trump.

01:20:09.000 And how brilliant for him to do an interview with Tucker Carlson.

01:20:14.000 The two people that Fox hates the most right now are President Trump and Tucker Carlson.

01:20:19.000 And tomorrow, when Fox wants everybody talking about the Little League game they're going to hold in here, tomorrow everyone's going to be talking about Trump and Tucker.

01:20:27.000 They will.

01:20:28.000 Tucker, who can be a tough interview.

01:20:30.000 I don't think he's going to do a softball interview.

01:20:32.000 No, he's been critical of President Trump before.

01:20:35.000 President Trump will be able to get out his ideas for turning this country around, and how he sees us saving ourselves on the world stage, because we are marching toward World War III.

01:20:45.000 That is the backdrop of what's happening, by the way, and they want us distracted with all these other things.

01:20:50.000 Meanwhile, the world has been destabilized, and we're heading toward World War III.

01:20:56.000 And hopefully they talk about some of these issues because I think we're going to find out there's a lot of warmongers in there.

01:21:01.000 One of the main reasons they want to bring Trump down is he is a truth teller and a peacemaker.

01:21:05.000 He didn't start any wars and that makes the military-industrial complex, which has a lot of control in this world, that makes them very upset.

01:21:12.000 Very upset.

01:21:13.000 And less rich.

01:21:14.000 There's no money in peace but there's trillions to be made in war and President Trump is about peace.

01:21:20.000 Absolutely.

01:21:20.000 Well, really quickly, final question.

01:21:22.000 Can you fast forward a little bit to President Trump winning the nomination, selecting a vice president?

01:21:29.000 Who do you think that could be?

01:21:31.000 And where do you see yourself going next?

01:21:33.000 And maybe those two things are tied together.

01:21:34.000 I'm not saying they are.

01:21:35.000 Listen, I'm not leading the witness.

01:21:37.000 I'm just saying.

01:21:38.000 Well, I think that, you know, in a year or so when he does choose his vice president, President Trump is very smart.

01:21:43.000 He'll look at where things are and he'll say, I need help with this group, with that group, in this state, and he will pick an incredible vice president.

01:21:53.000 Whoever he picks, I will vote for enthusiastically.

01:21:57.000 In the meantime, I'm seriously giving it consideration to jump into the U.S.

01:22:01.000 Senate race in Arizona.

01:22:02.000 We have two Democrats running, one who just announced that she's going to act like an independent, even though she's voted with Joe Biden 93% of the time.

01:22:10.000 And we have an opportunity to pick up a seat and finally get an America-first senator in the U.S.

01:22:15.000 Senate, one who's actually going to do work for the people.

01:22:19.000 And so I'm considering that.

01:22:20.000 I'll be making a decision in the next couple of months.

01:22:22.000 I just wrote a book, Unafraid.

01:22:23.000 It's a great book.

01:22:24.000 If you haven't seen it, get it.

01:22:26.000 It's a page-turner.

01:22:27.000 In typical fashion, I throw a few punches.

01:22:30.000 I would expect nothing less.

01:22:32.000 And I have a few other things that I'm working on right now in my personal life.

01:22:36.000 I'm really giving that serious consideration because we have an opportunity to get a great senator in Arizona who will serve the people of Arizona in Washington, D.C.

01:22:44.000 If you end up running, I want to button and let us know.

01:22:44.000 I love it.

01:22:47.000 Let us know what you're doing.

01:22:48.000 We'd love to stay in touch with you.

01:22:49.000 But thank you very much for making some time with us.

01:22:51.000 I appreciate it.

01:22:51.000 Thank you so much.

01:22:52.000 And thank you to the audience out there.

01:23:05.000 Bring it up there in the lower quadrant.

01:23:38.000 They have their hands up like they're kindergartners.

01:23:40.000 It's September 15th.

01:23:41.000 I'm sorry, Nick.

01:23:42.000 It has nothing to do with the Sicilian Union.

01:23:43.000 Don't worry, it's going to be packed no matter what you say, Steve.

01:23:46.000 Brewing is allowed, but it doesn't change the truth.

01:23:49.000 Uh-oh, he's talking about cholesterol.

01:23:56.000 Let's just speak the truth, okay?

01:23:59.000 President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century.

01:24:03.000 Yeah, that's just a drink.

01:24:04.000 That's just a drink.

01:24:04.000 I can't finish my drink.

01:24:05.000 It was just filled.

01:24:06.000 You understand how much good he just did for himself?

01:24:07.000 so everyone can see them?

01:24:08.000 Yeah, that's just a drink.

01:24:09.000 That's just a drink?

01:24:10.000 I can't finish my drink.

01:24:11.000 It was just filled.

01:24:12.000 You understand how much good he just did for himself?

01:24:14.000 Trump is mentioned January 26th.

01:24:16.000 Hold on.

01:24:17.000 Alright.

01:24:18.000 Okay.

01:24:19.000 We need this.

01:24:20.000 Kim or Kerry Lake is the VP pick for Trump.

01:24:22.000 Yeah.

01:24:22.000 That's my call.

01:24:23.000 Point that dark brown finger! 0.98

01:24:23.000 Point! 0.98

01:24:24.000 Like the guy in Sniper.

01:24:24.000 Yeah, that's my call.

01:24:26.000 They could just change the channel to MSNBC right now.

01:24:29.000 But I'm not running for president of MSNBC.

01:24:31.000 I am running for president of the United States.

01:24:34.000 Point! Point that dark brown finger. 0.65

01:24:36.000 We cannot set a precedent.

01:24:38.000 Like the guy on Sniper.

01:24:39.000 Use his police force. 0.79

01:24:40.000 Chris Christie, you are a very, very bad man.

01:24:43.000 Can we have 30 seconds?

01:24:45.000 Just 30 seconds.

01:24:47.000 30 seconds, Governor.

01:24:48.000 You tell me to go to debate on Fox, but nobody comes.

01:24:52.000 Do you see people?

01:24:53.000 Where are people?

01:24:54.000 There are no people!

01:24:56.000 There are no people! 1.00

01:24:58.000 What did he just say to this fat buck? 0.93

01:25:02.000 That he's not paying for his buffet. 0.98

01:25:04.000 You sit here and answer...

01:25:06.000 You sit everywhere...

01:25:08.000 Everywhere.

01:25:10.000 No, don't bail him out, Martha.

01:25:11.000 You let him wallow.

01:25:13.000 Let him deal with those booze.

01:25:15.000 Let it reverberate into his sloppy soul.

01:25:17.000 Brett lecturing the crowd.

01:25:19.000 Talk about it.

01:25:21.000 It's on man.

01:25:23.000 Moderator interrupted.

01:25:25.000 Drink.

01:25:27.000 You want to stand up for the rule of law.

01:25:29.000 Yes.

01:25:31.000 And law and order.

01:25:32.000 In your book, you had much different things to say about Donald Trump than you're saying here tonight.

01:25:37.000 That's not true.

01:25:38.000 No, it is very true.

01:25:39.000 That is not true.

01:25:39.000 It's very true, I read it, and I know... You hate it.

01:25:42.000 By the way, you know what? 1.00

01:25:42.000 Quote it, bitch! 1.00

01:25:43.000 Quote it, Dom DeLuise! 1.00

01:25:49.000 Look it, he's not taking any...

01:25:51.000 You've never done it like you've never done anything to try to advance the interests of this government

01:25:57.000 except to put yourself forward as a candidate tonight.

01:26:00.000 And here's the thing, we've stood up for law and order...

01:26:03.000 He's in his 30s, Chris.

01:26:04.000 You didn't stand up to a waiting period and people got killed in your state.

01:26:09.000 You stand up to no one, Chris Christie.

01:26:12.000 If nothing else tonight, please let his giant bubble be burst as far as the tough talking straight from the hip.

01:26:18.000 Everything about that man is phony.

01:26:21.000 I saw him stand up to the managers at Arby's.

01:26:25.000 You said you have the beef! 0.98

01:26:27.000 He's gonna hang himself right here, watch. 0.99

01:26:30.000 It's gotta be cable. 0.97

01:26:30.000 I know. 0.97

01:26:31.000 He's going to hang himself right here, watch. 0.86

01:26:35.000 Well, you need to read the rope. 0.84

01:26:38.000 It's got to be cable.

01:26:39.000 It's got to be an old bike rack.

01:26:40.000 I'm going to have to stand up, it's going to rock. 1.00

01:26:41.000 God damn it, I got an ass like a nectarine. 1.00

01:26:42.000 Let's see it. 1.00

01:26:43.000 President Trump's former vice president is on this stage tonight.

01:26:52.000 Do you believe he did the right thing?

01:26:54.000 Absolutely.

01:26:55.000 He did the right thing.

01:26:56.000 January 6th. On that day, the Vice President moved forward with the certification of the election.

01:27:02.000 I think Geppetto had a weekend with Pinocchio and Mike Pence happened.

01:27:06.000 Oh God. Did the right thing.

01:27:09.000 On Temptation Island. Do you believe he did the right thing?

01:27:11.000 Absolutely, he did the right thing. Number one.

01:27:13.000 Oh, you sucked him. 1.00

01:27:15.000 We should be asking ourselves a bigger question about the weaponization of the Department of 0.99

01:27:25.000 When I'm president, the first thing I'll do is fire Merrick Garland.

01:27:29.000 Defund the FBI.

01:27:31.000 Whoever here tonight says disband our intelligence agencies and build anew is the guy who should win this debate.

01:27:37.000 I've said that's a close-handed issue for me.

01:27:39.000 You cannot save this country without disbanding our intelligence agencies who are political propaganda and hit artist wings.

01:27:45.000 Yeah.

01:27:45.000 Now that's clever.

01:27:46.000 Can you say Mike Pence did the right thing and then say go after the Department of Justice?

01:27:51.000 It's kind of contradictory.

01:27:52.000 ...against political opponents, but also against parents who show up at school board meetings.

01:27:57.000 Their call under this deal, General.

01:27:59.000 Now that's clever.

01:28:00.000 That's how Glenn Youngkin won his election.

01:28:02.000 He talked about the critical race theory.

01:28:04.000 He talked about the white privilege.

01:28:05.000 He talked about the transgender bathrooms.

01:28:06.000 And people always say those social issues don't work.

01:28:08.000 Guess what?

01:28:09.000 They won, Yunkin, a governorship in a very, very blue state.

01:28:13.000 So this is, some people say this is ill-advised.

01:28:15.000 Don't listen to those people. 1.00

01:28:16.000 Those people are morons. 1.00

01:28:19.000 ...with guns drawn, because this DOJ uses their power, uses their authority, not just against political opponents, but against conservatives and conservative causes. 1.00

01:28:30.000 It is time for a change in America, and I will bring that change to the greatest nation on God's planet.

01:28:38.000 I will bring... Mike Pence did the right thing on January 6th.

01:28:42.000 So here's what we need to do.

01:28:43.000 We need to end the weaponization of these federal agents.

01:28:47.000 Disband them. 0.98

01:28:48.000 Come on, someone, grow some balls here. 1.00

01:28:50.000 Disband the FBI. 0.99

01:28:51.000 Comment.

01:28:52.000 I'd love to see your chat in Mug Club.

01:28:54.000 Let's put out a poll.

01:28:55.000 Do you think we need you to... You right now, millions of people out there, whether you're following me, whether you're hundreds of thousands who are watching right now across all of our platforms, you are a sample group.

01:29:04.000 Do you want your candidate, the Republican candidate, to run on the platform of disbanding our intelligence agencies?

01:29:10.000 They want you to think that you're an extremist.

01:29:12.000 I think it's most of you.

01:29:13.000 Let's put out a poll.

01:29:15.000 That you focus on the mission above all else.

01:29:18.000 You can't get distracted.

01:29:19.000 So Republicans, we've got to look forward and we've got to make sure that we're bringing the message that can win in November 2020.

01:29:30.000 Vice President Pence, what do you think vice president Pence is to support and defend the

01:29:34.000 constitution of the United States? I think I think the American people deserve to know

01:29:39.000 whether everyone on this stage agrees that I kept my oath to the constitution that day.

01:29:46.000 There's no more important. You were inconsistent in your answer.

01:29:49.000 And here's the thing, it's not about just defending.

01:29:51.000 We're no longer a nation.

01:29:52.000 We're post-constitutional right now, right?

01:29:55.000 Exactly.

01:29:56.000 You are no longer a nation or a candidate defending the Constitution. 0.97

01:29:59.000 What you are doing is trying to undo A president, and by the way you're really talking about 12 years, 8 years of Obama and 4 of Biden, then there were 4 in between, 3 really, of someone wiping their ass with the Constitution. 0.50

01:30:12.000 You're not defending something anymore, you're trying to re-institutionalize the Constitution.

01:30:18.000 You are trying to ensure that you reinvigorate the American people to understand.

01:30:21.000 You have an entire generation of people who do not understand, or if they do, they don't care about the Constitution.

01:30:26.000 You are no longer in defense mode.

01:30:28.000 You need to be in attack mode.

01:30:30.000 You need to be in rebuild mode.

01:30:32.000 And that's why Mike Pence should absolutely, he should disappear into obscurity.

01:30:38.000 He's not talking to the American public, and certainly not the voting base, as far as where they are at this period in time.

01:30:44.000 This is, when you wonder about the donor class, Ask yourself about Mike Pence.

01:30:47.000 If Tucker Carlson didn't do what he did with Mike Pence, guess what?

01:30:50.000 He would still be a darling to a lot of the conservative donor media class.

01:30:53.000 And I say this as a, as a, you can go back to 2008 on YouTube. 0.93

01:30:58.000 No one has a track record longer than me of being a conservative, pretty much basic bitch, pumpkin spice conservative, across the board.

01:31:04.000 But the messaging now is different when you are at a point in this country, it is a turning point, and people like Mike Pence are out to lunch. 0.77

01:31:12.000 Chat's hitting us up.

01:31:14.000 They're saying disband like crazy.

01:31:17.000 Let's put out a poll on Twitter and we are yeah No

01:31:23.000 That's a tough moment, hey, hang on Mike Pence

01:31:31.000 stood for the Constitution And he deserves not grudging credit

01:31:37.000 He deserves our thanks as Americans for putting his oath of office and the Constitution of the United States

01:31:46.000 before personal, political, and unfair pressure.

01:31:51.000 And the argument that we need to have in this party, before we can move on to the issues that Ron talked about, is we have to dispense with the person who said that we need to suspend the Constitution to put forward his political clearance.

01:32:07.000 There you go, attacking Trump.

01:32:08.000 There you go, attack Donald Trump.

01:32:09.000 I don't think you're going to like how this goes, hotshot. 1.00

01:32:13.000 He's an idiot. 1.00

01:32:14.000 I mean, I don't know what he thinks he's going to gain from saying that. 1.00

01:32:14.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:32:17.000 Look at the polls.

01:32:18.000 Trump's what?

01:32:19.000 He has advisors telling him that he should be a Romney type.

01:32:22.000 Yeah, he is.

01:32:22.000 Yeah.

01:32:23.000 And I do think that we need to give him credit for that.

01:32:26.000 But what I will also tell you is, look, I mean... No, what he needs are some lifts in his shoes.

01:32:31.000 I don't know if President Trump should serve or not.

01:32:33.000 I trust the American people.

01:32:34.000 Let them vote.

01:32:35.000 Let them decide.

01:32:36.000 The American people don't trust their vote.

01:32:39.000 We have that poll.

01:32:40.000 It's a significant portion of Americans, including, by the way, Democrats, who don't believe that their vote is secure or that it's counted properly.

01:32:47.000 They're speaking to people who aren't there.

01:32:49.000 This is the problem with the donor class.

01:32:51.000 This is where Vivek is going to pick up some steam.

01:32:52.000 The GOP pup.

01:32:53.000 Do you want a puppet candidate saying, the American people have to trust their vote?

01:32:56.000 They already don't!

01:32:58.000 Talk to those people!

01:32:59.000 They're tuning in right now.

01:33:00.000 They're looking for a reason to give you their vote. 0.98

01:33:03.000 are you man enough or woman enough mickey haley to take it people have the balls to take in your address 0.95

01:33:09.000 but i would say you started off the top of this our saying we're gonna talk 0.97

01:33:12.000 about china ukraine educate i love the crime in transylvania by forty percent 0.99

01:33:16.000 three Go Green Minute! The DJ can't...

01:33:19.000 I'm gonna smack a jukebox. Impalings were up 75% but... Hey Groucho wants his eyebrows back. The garlic harvest is...

01:33:27.000 ripped. Just the suits are unoriginal.

01:33:31.000 That looks terrific to me.

01:33:32.000 They were talking about him, right?

01:33:34.000 Ooh, here we go!

01:33:34.000 Here we go!

01:33:35.000 committed nearly 77... Can I speak on this issue?

01:33:39.000 You did not say something. I thought we thought you were done.

01:33:43.000 How about no? They were talking about him, right?

01:33:45.000 Well, Mike, why don't you say this? Join me in making a commitment that on day one you would pardon Donald Trump.

01:33:50.000 I'm the only candidate on this team. Here we go. Let's see what they say. Listen.

01:33:54.000 Now we move our nation forward. I don't know why you assume that Donald Trump will be convicted of these crimes.

01:34:00.000 You should be able to make a commitment.

01:34:02.000 The same justice system that was this corrupt.

01:34:04.000 There's a difference between you and me.

01:34:05.000 I'm not a professional politician.

01:34:06.000 That's the difference.

01:34:07.000 You can answer the question.

01:34:08.000 I've actually given pardons.

01:34:10.000 As governor of the state of Indiana, it usually follows a finding of guilt and contrition by the individual that's been convicted.

01:34:17.000 So, if I'm president of the United States, we'll give fair consideration to any pardon request.

01:34:22.000 But if I'm not...

01:34:23.000 That's political talk.

01:34:26.000 You know, it's not about looking back at January 2021.

01:34:31.000 It's about January 20th, 2017.

01:34:34.000 By the way, drink.

01:34:35.000 I put my left hand on Ronald Reagan's Bible.

01:34:37.000 I raised my right hand.

01:34:39.000 And I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

01:34:44.000 And it ended with a prayer, so help me God.

01:34:47.000 It was a promise that I made to the American people.

01:34:50.000 More like a statement.

01:34:51.000 But I also made it.

01:34:51.000 That's not really a prayer.

01:34:53.000 Just saying.

01:34:53.000 I made it to my Heavenly Father.

01:34:54.000 It's kind of a demand to the Lord.

01:34:55.000 Every day for four years I sought to keep that oath.

01:34:58.000 And everyone on this stage needs to make it clear whether or not they'll do the same.

01:35:03.000 If they're in this job and the confidence of the American people.

01:35:07.000 Look, I've made it clear.

01:35:08.000 I had hoped that the issues surrounding the 2020 election and the controversies... Let me tell you about Men's Wearhouse.

01:35:16.000 ...had not come to this, had not come to criminal proceedings.

01:35:19.000 I would rather they had been resolved by the American people and the American people alone.

01:35:24.000 But no one's above the law.

01:35:26.000 And President Trump is entitled to the presumption of innocence that every American is entitled to.

01:35:31.000 Bring back up the drinking game rules really quickly for people who aren't familiar.

01:35:34.000 We're playing right now, and please don't get alcohol poisoning.

01:35:37.000 Just pick a light beer.

01:35:38.000 Anytime Trump is mentioned, January 6th or 2020, moderator interrupts a candidate, any thug life moment, and you finish your drink anytime a candidate mentions a Democrat other than Biden.

01:35:48.000 We'll also add anti-thug life moment, meaning a low light, which is pretty much every time Mike Pence speaks.

01:35:53.000 How about if Martha has a wardrobe malfunction? 1.00

01:35:56.000 I had no right to overturn the election, and Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024. 1.00

01:36:04.000 Thank you, Vice President.

01:36:07.000 That's a little presumptuous if the guy is you.

01:36:10.000 He said leave it to the American people.

01:36:11.000 That's what they would do it on January 6th.

01:36:13.000 In my opinion, it doesn't get any more.

01:36:16.000 Right in my opinion, it doesn't get any more. No, I understand. Yeah

01:36:20.000 Regardless of that the specific specifics of that plan Is there anyone on stage who would not support him in on

01:36:29.000 this the increase of more funding to Ukraine tense?

01:36:33.000 Who?

01:36:33.000 Pence.

01:36:33.000 We would not support it.

01:36:34.000 Europe needs to step up.

01:36:39.000 It's a raise your hand question.

01:36:41.000 Can I ask you why they have Dallas Cowboy logos?

01:36:44.000 Because they're America's team.

01:36:45.000 Because McCallum was a cheerleader. 0.96

01:36:47.000 That's a good answer.

01:36:48.000 Excuse me, Paul Lin is talking.

01:36:50.000 Let me raise my finger.

01:36:50.000 Excuse me, Paul Lin is talking.

01:36:52.000 Man.

01:36:54.000 China.

01:36:58.000 Let me raise my finger.

01:37:02.000 You would not support an increase of funding to Ukraine. I would not

01:37:06.000 And I think that this is disastrous.

01:37:08.000 Good. 0.99

01:37:08.000 He's kicking ass. 0.99

01:37:09.000 Point that finger. 1.00

01:37:09.000 Good. 1.00

01:37:10.000 Pretty thug life.

01:37:11.000 Yeah, thug life drink.

01:37:11.000 Boom.

01:37:12.000 somebody else's border when we should use those same military resources to prevent the

01:37:12.000 Boom.

01:37:16.000 invasion of our own southern border here in the United States of America.

01:37:23.000 Bring in immigration. 0.99

01:37:24.000 That was a winning issue for Donald Trump.

01:37:25.000 It's still a winning issue, by the way, for that base who voted for Donald Trump.

01:37:28.000 People in the Rust Belt and people in states who experienced that with the southern border.

01:37:33.000 It's the one area where you can pick up some of the left pieces of Donald Trump.

01:37:36.000 He didn't really deliver on his promise.

01:37:36.000 People say, you know what?

01:37:38.000 I will finish what Donald Trump started.

01:37:39.000 I think people in New York and Chicago and Martha's Vineyard are starting to agree with that.

01:37:42.000 They might have strong opinions about that.

01:37:43.000 Because we shipped them to you.

01:37:44.000 The VEC is four for five with three triples and a home run.

01:37:47.000 I don't understand the sports reference, but I understand that's good, correct?

01:37:51.000 I thought it was sitting next to Diane Carroll.

01:37:53.000 Hold on, listen to this.

01:37:53.000 I did go to Ukraine and I wanted to see for myself if the cabbage was fresh.

01:38:03.000 Vladimir Putin's army was doing to the free Ukrainian people.

01:38:07.000 And let me tell you, I want you all to look around this arena tonight and imagine that

01:38:12.000 every one of these seats was filled.

01:38:14.000 If every one of them was filled, there would still be 2,500 more children outside to make

01:38:21.000 over 20,000 who have been abducted, stolen, ripped from their mothers and fathers.

01:38:28.000 Chris Christie?

01:38:29.000 No.

01:38:29.000 No, I hate what he says.

01:38:31.000 Get out of your mind.

01:38:31.000 I don't agree with any of this.

01:38:32.000 Let me just say this.

01:38:33.000 Let me just say this.

01:38:34.000 Chris Christie decided he wanted to go over and see President Zelensky, right?

01:38:39.000 Don't worry.

01:38:39.000 Just put him anywhere.

01:38:41.000 We have a new intern PA, by the way.

01:38:42.000 He's doing a good job.

01:38:43.000 Look, he's got Tourette's.

01:38:44.000 Quit picking on him.

01:38:47.000 It's the good Tourette's, though.

01:38:48.000 The funny kind.

01:38:49.000 Careful!

01:38:49.000 You might appear in media, Ike.

01:38:50.000 Got Lou Gehrig bringing out our freshmen.

01:38:52.000 Take him to a Yankees game.

01:38:53.000 You'll be your best friend.

01:38:54.000 Tonight?

01:38:55.000 Tonight?

01:38:55.000 I had to serve beers, beers, beers, beers.

01:38:57.000 To a racist guinea pig. 0.99

01:39:01.000 Right now is lying through his teeth. 0.97

01:39:03.000 He didn't go over there to see what was happening firsthand on the ground.

01:39:06.000 We have media reports for that Chris Christie.

01:39:08.000 You understand what's going on by hearing.

01:39:10.000 Look, I get it.

01:39:11.000 Maybe you think that there's a little bit more to the story.

01:39:13.000 You went over there because you have a campaign that is faltering and your only path to victory is to stay relevant.

01:39:19.000 Do you know why else?

01:39:20.000 By the way, he doesn't need lyrics to Jon Bon Jovi to put next to the fricking Oscar

01:39:25.000 that Sean Penn left over there.

01:39:27.000 That's not going to help them win a war.

01:39:29.000 Don't lie and use something that is absolutely tragic to get your campaign off the ground,

01:39:35.000 you gas bag.

01:39:36.000 Do you know why else?

01:39:37.000 Do you know the other reason why he went to Ukraine?

01:39:39.000 Because he had to go there because he endorsed the government, Barack Obama by the way, who

01:39:42.000 installed a puppet government in Ukraine, just to be clear.

01:39:45.000 Not saying that Russia is right. 0.98

01:39:46.000 Putin? 1.00

01:39:47.000 Dick. 0.99

01:39:47.000 Okay, I understand it. 0.99

01:39:48.000 But let's not act as though Ukraine is a bastion of freedom and democracy.

01:39:51.000 Let's go back.

01:39:53.000 Oh look, he's making the quintessential Indian face, which I don't even care. 1.00

01:39:56.000 Good for him, Ramaswamy.

01:39:58.000 and the Russians back out into Russia. 0.71

01:40:01.000 I want to just really address that.

01:40:03.000 They're all dressed the same.

01:40:04.000 I have a news flash.

01:40:05.000 The USSR does not exist anymore.

01:40:07.000 It fell back in 1990.

01:40:08.000 It was a real Soviet Union. 1.00

01:40:10.000 It's a fucking penis. 1.00

01:40:11.000 And a real communist. 1.00

01:40:12.000 That's very similar to Barack Obama, though, with Mitt Romney, where he said, now the Cold War called.

01:40:16.000 They want their policy back.

01:40:18.000 Putin has been saying he wants to re-establish the old Soviet sphere of influence.

01:40:22.000 You've made your point, Vice President.

01:40:24.000 Am I imagining this, or is Mike Pence defending funding Ukraine in a proxy war?

01:40:29.000 Does he think that's what the Republican voters want right now?

01:40:33.000 Is that what you want?

01:40:35.000 Comment.

01:40:36.000 By the way, hit like if you think that's a horrible tact to take.

01:40:39.000 It's what the neocons want.

01:40:41.000 Communist China.

01:40:43.000 And we are driving Russia further into China's arms. 0.94

01:40:46.000 The Russia-China military alliance is the single greatest threat we face.

01:40:51.000 Nobody in either political party is talking about it.

01:40:52.000 And I say I am the only non-proletarian...

01:40:54.000 Let the Indian finish. 1.00

01:40:56.000 ...who's gonna keep us out of war.

01:40:58.000 Moderators interrupting drink.

01:41:00.000 We're far too good at these drinking games.

01:41:03.000 We have to scale it back.

01:41:04.000 scale it back.

01:41:05.000 ...Ukraine will never be in NATO and then somehow...

01:41:08.000 Mr. Vice President...

01:41:09.000 ...China will not think about taking Taiwan.

01:41:11.000 If we achieve peace through strength...

01:41:14.000 Mr. Vice President...

01:41:15.000 Which is arming Taiwan! 0.86

01:41:16.000 Okay, here we go.

01:41:19.000 Am I right?

01:41:20.000 Yes.

01:41:21.000 Everyone in the Republican Party believes that Taiwan should be armed, should be protected.

01:41:24.000 That's something that makes sense.

01:41:25.000 Ukraine, Russia, it's... I'm sorry, it's not our fight.

01:41:28.000 In Ukraine, you want to be in NATO?

01:41:29.000 Guess what?

01:41:30.000 You have a bunch of back payments.

01:41:32.000 Mr. Ramaswamy, you were mentioned, you get 30 seconds.

01:41:32.000 Yep.

01:41:35.000 The reality is that today, today, Ukraine is not a priority for the United States of America.

01:41:43.000 And I think that the same people who took us into the Iraq War, the same people who took us into the Vietnam War, you cannot end it, you cannot start another no-win war. 0.77

01:41:52.000 And I do not want to get to the point where we're sending our military resources abroad when we could be better using them here at home to protect our own borders, protect the homeland.

01:42:03.000 China and Russia do not have a military alliance.

01:42:07.000 That's a very unlikely alliance to have.

01:42:09.000 Right now they have somewhat of an economic... China and Russia.

01:42:12.000 They don't have a military... I think he said that either misspoke or he says that often.

01:42:16.000 Maybe he's assuming that will happen.

01:42:18.000 He means to say that they have a vested interest in each other at this point.

01:42:21.000 It's like a friendship agreement.

01:42:24.000 Friendship!

01:42:28.000 First of all, the American president needs to have moral clarity.

01:42:32.000 They need to know the difference between right and wrong.

01:42:34.000 They need to know the difference between good and evil. 0.52

01:42:37.000 When you look at the situation with Russia and Ukraine, here you have a pro-American country that was invaded by a thug.

01:42:44.000 So when you want to talk about what has been given to Ukraine, less than 3.5% of our defense budget has been given to Ukraine.

01:42:53.000 If you look at the percentages per GDP, 11 of the European countries have given more than the U.S.

01:43:00.000 But what's really important is going back to when China and Russia held hands, shook hands before the Olympics and named themselves unlimited partners.

01:43:09.000 A win for Russia is a win for China. 0.99

01:43:12.000 We have to know that.

01:43:14.000 Nikki, the guys need a sandwich.

01:43:16.000 So what do you do?

01:43:18.000 Tell me what you do, Nikki.

01:43:19.000 Come on.

01:43:21.000 Give me the answer.

01:43:22.000 Look, here's what people don't want to say.

01:43:24.000 They want to say, oh, pro-America and international relations, and of course this is... Okay, are you willing to go to war?

01:43:31.000 Yeah.

01:43:31.000 And by the way, 135 billion dollars, this is the only time in history where you can spend more than many countries' GDP in assisting a war and claim that you are not in a war.

01:43:39.000 Right.

01:43:40.000 Just to be clear, the world views it as the United States being engaged in this war.

01:43:44.000 You may not like it, you may not agree with that, but that is true.

01:43:46.000 And I understand the arguments regarding Ukraine and Russia, I understand it, but when you actually look at the amount of money spent, and I understand that's a drop in the bucket compared to the Inflation Reduction Act, I get that.

01:43:55.000 But again, it is the principle of, do we want to be the country who is involved in proxy wars with countries who, by the way, couldn't get- She just said pro-American.

01:44:04.000 That's not true about Ukraine.

01:44:05.000 Certainly not true about Zelensky. 0.99

01:44:06.000 That is complete and total horseshit. 0.98

01:44:07.000 That's neocon talking points. 1.00

01:44:09.000 Oh, catfight!

01:44:09.000 Let's go back.

01:44:10.000 He just called her a fake Indian bitch. 1.00

01:44:11.000 Of course they have to. 1.00

01:44:12.000 Catfight you've been pushing this line all week. He just called her a fake Indian bitch. Okay, let me address that 1.00

01:44:17.000 I'm glad you brought that up Of course the catches grab her hand swat it 1.00

01:44:26.000 Don't let her overtalk you.

01:44:27.000 America less than you have no foreign policy.

01:44:29.000 Don't let her over talk you.

01:44:30.000 You know what?

01:44:31.000 She will.

01:44:32.000 She will.

01:44:33.000 Good, good, good.

01:44:34.000 Good.

01:44:35.000 The pointless wars we've gotten into, I've addressed that.

01:44:38.000 So our relationship with Israel will never be stronger than by the end of my first term.

01:44:45.000 But it's not a client relationship.

01:44:47.000 It is a friendship.

01:44:49.000 And you know what friends do?

01:44:50.000 Friends help each other stand on their own two feet.

01:44:53.000 So I will lead Abraham Accords 2.0.

01:44:55.000 I will partner with Israel to make sure Iran never is nuclear armed. 0.76

01:44:59.000 But you know what I love about Israel?

01:45:01.000 And I've been there probably in the last 10 years more than most people on this stage.

01:45:04.000 You know what I love about them?

01:45:05.000 I love their border policies.

01:45:07.000 I love their tough crime policies.

01:45:08.000 Boom! 0.99

01:45:09.000 Boom! 0.99

01:45:09.000 Thug life moment. 0.99

01:45:10.000 He is bringing it to immigration, which was the singular winning issue for Donald Trump in 2016.

01:45:16.000 Got away from it a little bit.

01:45:17.000 He knows what he's doing.

01:45:18.000 No, I want to learn from those and apply those to protect our homeland, Nikki.

01:45:22.000 Nikki, I said must, did not mayonnaise on it.

01:45:25.000 Okay, Governor DeSantis, Governor DeSantis, you were mentioned at the territorial dispute. 0.74

01:45:29.000 I just wonder, when she's pointing at me, he goes, you know damn it, tell me to point.

01:45:35.000 She's so upset. 0.95

01:45:36.000 Protect the American people. And our country and its people.

01:45:40.000 Yes. And that means you're sending all this money, but you're not doing what we need to do to secure our own border. We

01:45:46.000 have tens of thousands of people who are being killed because of what they're not doing. Bullshit! 1.00

01:45:52.000 Bullshit! 1.00

01:45:53.000 Look, I'm going to go by rote here and please bring it up. 1.00

01:45:55.000 I think you probably have this in the change, build a wall, change my mind.

01:45:59.000 I think the most generous estimate, if I'm not mistaken, for the wall being built, as Donald Trump originally proposed it, would have been about $20 billion.

01:46:06.000 I think some people tried to say it was $40 billion, but the average somewhere was around $20 billion.

01:46:10.000 And illegal immigrants cost the American taxpayer an average of $116 billion a year. 1.00

01:46:16.000 So if you're talking about, let's call it $40 billion.

01:46:18.000 Let's use the salon sources as Governor Christie and Noam, uh, sorry, uh, Nikki Haley, uh, want to use themselves. 1.00

01:46:24.000 They're using these talking points today from the far left.

01:46:26.000 Okay, $116 billion is what's cost to the American public.

01:46:31.000 Okay, the American taxpayer, every single year, $40 billion.

01:46:34.000 Compare that to the amount of money pledged to Ukraine.

01:46:36.000 That's what it would cost to secure the border physically.

01:46:39.000 Of course, we need better policies as well, like deportation, no more Dreamer Act, no more amnesty. 0.93

01:46:44.000 We need all those things in conjunction.

01:46:46.000 But the point is, it is a drop in the bucket when you're talking about securing the American people.

01:46:50.000 So when people say, this is a very small number in comparison to our deficit, to our spending, But it's a very large number, 135 billion dollars dedicated to Ukraine, in comparison to what it would cost to at least secure our border.

01:47:05.000 That's why Republican voters don't like these people, just to be clear.

01:47:09.000 Secure our borders first, and then maybe you can make a case to be a neocon foreign policy hawk.

01:47:15.000 And not with a wall.

01:47:16.000 With a military.

01:47:17.000 All of the above.

01:47:18.000 I'm serious.

01:47:19.000 He wants turrets.

01:47:20.000 It's like Congo for him. 0.63

01:47:21.000 I want landmines. 1.00

01:47:22.000 They work beautiful.

01:47:24.000 I want it booby-trapped like Kevin McCallister's uncle's New York apartment.

01:47:27.000 I'm serious, though.

01:47:29.000 When they bring up a wall, I laugh.

01:47:31.000 Even when Trump brings it up.

01:47:32.000 Really?

01:47:33.000 You've got the strongest military on earth?

01:47:35.000 Come on.

01:47:35.000 Yes, but we need a wall first.

01:47:37.000 Why?

01:47:37.000 Then you put people on the wall if you have to.

01:47:40.000 Oh, this is yours.

01:47:41.000 Okay.

01:47:42.000 In that case, put a fence up three feet up. 0.99

01:47:45.000 It's the guns and flamethrowers that keep people out, not the goddamn wall. 0.98

01:47:48.000 The most liberal estimates values it at $21 billion. 0.99

01:47:52.000 $21 billion?

01:47:53.000 Yeah, $21 billion, $116 billion cost.

01:47:56.000 Yeah, but Trump wants to Z-brick it, so it's gonna go up.

01:48:00.000 They like sending it over to Ukraine instead to prolong a war.

01:48:04.000 Yes, to prolong a war while the American public is struggling.

01:48:07.000 What's Dracula talking about?

01:48:09.000 Okay.

01:48:10.000 Well done, Mr. Brigham.

01:48:11.000 Thank you for letting me talk again, guys.

01:48:12.000 people in the IRS as opposed to giving the money in this for we need to our own

01:48:17.000 Border Patrol. Okay well done Mr. Brigham. Thank you for letting me talk again guys.

01:48:21.000 Thank you Lagosie. Thanks for reminding the people I'm here.

01:48:25.000 Yes. 87,000 agents and higher double the number of Border Patrol agents.

01:48:32.000 I just left Yuma, Arizona about two weeks ago.

01:48:34.000 By the way, he's going to get fact-checked on that, just to be clear, and just don't be fooled by this tomorrow.

01:48:38.000 They'll say, uh, Tim Scott missed it.

01:48:40.000 It's not 85,000 IRS agents.

01:48:42.000 It's 80-something thousand new IRS employees.

01:48:44.000 They're not officially agents.

01:48:46.000 Who cares?

01:48:46.000 It doesn't matter.

01:48:47.000 A bunch of pencil-pushing, sorry, pencil-pushing, pencil-necked pussies with glocks. 1.00

01:48:52.000 It's still a problem. 0.99

01:48:53.000 He was in Yuma, Arizona.

01:48:54.000 Apparently forgot the sunblock.

01:48:56.000 Listen, our national security watch lists have been caught at our border.

01:49:01.000 How many have not been caught at our southern border?

01:49:04.000 I think he was in the, it was about 350 to Yuma.

01:49:07.000 350.

01:49:07.000 We could finish the wall for 5 billion more.

01:49:11.000 We could have the military-grade technology to surveil our southern border to stop the flow of... Thank you, military. 0.82

01:49:18.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:49:19.000 I don't want to look at them crossing illegally.

01:49:21.000 I want to stop them.

01:49:22.000 What are we doing? 1.00

01:49:22.000 You have to see them before you shoot them. 1.00

01:49:24.000 I want a laser wall that vaporizes them. 1.00

01:49:26.000 Ooh, yes. 0.96

01:49:28.000 I want super soakers filled with cat piss. 0.99

01:49:32.000 You're just petty!

01:49:33.000 What if they have cuts?

01:49:34.000 That's very cheap.

01:49:35.000 I'm saving them money.

01:49:37.000 It would also solve our feral cat problem in our inner cities.

01:49:41.000 Oh yeah, that's true.

01:49:42.000 It's a two-for-one. 0.74

01:49:42.000 We're killing it right now. 0.74

01:49:43.000 Oh, Dracula's talking them out of it.

01:49:45.000 300 people a day, we're taking mass casualties, and that's a statistic, but these are sons and daughters, nieces and nephews that we're losing.

01:49:52.000 Uh, fentanyl.

01:49:53.000 He did say trans, he has to be careful. 0.59

01:49:54.000 Yeah, he's done a valiant effort.

01:49:55.000 Seriously, for the little time he gets.

01:49:57.000 It really doesn't help.

01:49:58.000 Trying to stop these transnational criminal organizations. 0.98

01:50:01.000 They've got better funding on their side than we've got on our side.

01:50:03.000 Speaking of which, he's got a nice job this guy.

01:50:06.000 Yeah, he's got a valiant effort.

01:50:07.000 Seriously, for the little time he gets.

01:50:09.000 The Vice President Pence, images from earlier this month.

01:50:13.000 I'm asking a question.

01:50:17.000 Earlier this month.

01:50:19.000 That's a smirk.

01:50:21.000 Is it just me or does Mike Pence, is he acting like he has this in the bag?

01:50:25.000 He does, he's delusional.

01:50:27.000 He really is.

01:50:28.000 What's Richard Pryor doing in the paper? 1.00

01:50:31.000 Man, I was starting to cross the border, this shit cra- Hey, that's some shit! 1.00

01:50:35.000 Cocaine! 1.00

01:50:37.000 I was crossing the border and then fentanyl hit me and I lost my god dang mind, man.

01:50:47.000 Oh, that's a ringing endorsement.

01:50:50.000 Hey guys, do you remember when I didn't do a dang thing to stop the problem because it's terrible today?

01:50:56.000 That's true.

01:50:56.000 I had the mustache.

01:50:57.000 It looks like he's in a hockey rink right now.

01:50:59.000 Yeah.

01:51:00.000 Hey guys, you remember when I didn't do a dang thing to stop the problem because it's

01:51:04.000 terrible today?

01:51:05.000 That's true.

01:51:06.000 Add the mustache.

01:51:07.000 What's the name of that actor who was the owner in Slapshot?

01:51:09.000 Yes.

01:51:10.000 They came out here to see the RNC! 1.00

01:51:16.000 Not this bunch of pussies! 1.00

01:51:21.000 The toughest candidates in the Federal League! 1.00

01:51:24.000 Oh my God, it's perfect.

01:51:25.000 for a little bit bringing in mexico as a partner we have to use economic pressure

01:51:30.000 to accomplish that president overdose not been helpful

01:51:33.000 and we have to use that i'm going to show it was ministration is not using

01:51:38.000 the rule of law has to matter about we still exist in arkansas was critical

01:51:42.000 We didn't have it.

01:51:43.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:51:45.000 He's talking about Mexico like he lives in Texas.

01:51:48.000 We dealt with it for you. 1.00

01:51:51.000 You know, in Little Rock there was two Mexicans starting some shit. 1.00

01:51:55.000 You know what I did with that? 1.00

01:51:56.000 I put a stop to that in a hurry.

01:51:57.000 I took away the attention.

01:52:00.000 I didn't start nothing.

01:52:01.000 Any idea of the damage they can do with a toothbrush and a bent back paper clip?

01:52:04.000 Exactly.

01:52:05.000 Silverado.

01:52:08.000 Matthew, you look terrific.

01:52:08.000 Did I mention that 12 times?

01:52:09.000 Into Mexico to take out fentanyl labs, to take out drug cartel operations.

01:52:14.000 I do support that kind of American military.

01:52:17.000 Look at him, like somebody who fell apart.

01:52:18.000 Yes, and I will do it on day one.

01:52:20.000 100%.

01:52:20.000 Here's the thing.

01:52:22.000 Special forces to take out fentanyl labs... I will say, Ron DeSantis has answered very clearly on this question before where he said, no, I will not support amnesty whatsoever.

01:52:30.000 He's been very clear about that.

01:52:31.000 He just needs to be clear in this debate.

01:52:32.000 ...part of your southern border, we have to re-establish the rule of law and we have to defend our people.

01:52:39.000 The President of the United States has got to use all available powers as Commander-in-Chief to protect our country and to protect the people.

01:52:48.000 So when they're coming across... Against the globalists.

01:52:51.000 Finish the sentence.

01:52:52.000 That's right. 0.99

01:52:53.000 Nice tits. 1.00

01:52:53.000 to operate. How many more tens of thousands are we going to let to die? I am sick. I've 1.00

01:52:58.000 met angel moms throughout this country. I met a lady in Texas named Tracy and her son

01:53:05.000 took one percocet that was laced with fentanyl, immediately died.

01:53:11.000 That is happening all across this country because of the poison that they are bringing in.

01:53:16.000 So as president, would I use force?

01:53:19.000 Would I treat them as foreign terrorist organizations?

01:53:21.000 You're darn right I would. 0.97

01:53:23.000 Does that mean bombing them? 0.96

01:53:25.000 Would have been great if not for the, you're darn right I would.

01:53:27.000 I'm sorry, that's just not a good way to frame it. 0.99

01:53:29.000 You're darn tootin'! 0.99

01:53:31.000 You're darn tootin'! 1.00

01:53:32.000 El Chapo! 1.00

01:53:33.000 El Chapo!

01:53:34.000 I have a little something for ya!

01:53:36.000 And guess what?

01:53:37.000 It's not snack time!

01:53:39.000 That should have been a thug life.

01:53:40.000 It's an Apache! 0.69

01:53:44.000 I'm not talking malarkey.

01:53:46.000 Yes.

01:53:47.000 I don't want any more of your tomfoolery.

01:53:49.000 Okay?

01:53:50.000 This isn't the local town hall hootenanny.

01:53:53.000 You know, Jill had some fentanyl in the kitchen.

01:53:55.000 It was awesome.

01:53:56.000 He was cooking it and there was a fire.

01:53:58.000 You guys are mannequin at Sears.

01:53:59.000 He keeps wanting to go to prepared because he was vice president. 1.00

01:54:01.000 Yeah, and you sucked! 1.00

01:54:01.000 What did you do as a president? 1.00

01:54:03.000 It's like saying, hey, I played in the professional league.

01:54:05.000 He's been talking about who is best prepared to be the next president of the United States.

01:54:08.000 He keeps wanting to go to prepared because he was vice president. 1.00

01:54:11.000 Yeah, and you sucked! 1.00

01:54:12.000 What did you do as a president? 1.00

01:54:13.000 You went to futiles.

01:54:14.000 Just because you know where the room is doesn't mean you're bad.

01:54:15.000 It's like saying, hey, I played in the professional league.

01:54:18.000 Right, and you were dead last and you scored nothing.

01:54:23.000 I negotiated the remaining...

01:54:25.000 Oh my God, he's agreeing with Asa.

01:54:26.000 the president. You say he rocks around the clock? Oh, that's right. It's because we use economic pressure to bring Mexicans 1.00

01:54:32.000 to the table.

01:54:33.000 And they allowed us to have people wait in Mexico while they applied for asylum and ended asylum abuse overnight.

01:54:40.000 We got the Mexicans to deploy their National Guard to their southern border and our southern border. 0.99

01:54:46.000 With force.

01:54:46.000 This guy, here's the problem with Mike Pence.

01:54:48.000 He wants to claim credit for Donald Trump's presidency and then turn on him when it's convenient. 0.96

01:54:51.000 I will engage Mexico the exact same way and we will Military and we will hunt down and destroy the car this guy 1.00

01:55:02.000 here's the problem with Mike Pence He wants to claim credit for Donald Trump's presidency.

01:55:06.000 Yeah, and then turn on him when I'm rubbing that's exactly right pivot

01:55:10.000 When it by the way, he's like we will hunt down and destroy the car

01:55:13.000 No, you won't.

01:55:14.000 The cartel will always come back.

01:55:16.000 You know why?

01:55:16.000 Because they have a product and there is demand.

01:55:17.000 It may be somebody else.

01:55:18.000 It may look a little bit different, but that is what history has taught us.

01:55:21.000 That means you don't know what the hell you're talking about. 0.99

01:55:23.000 Also, I have to get cheap ass fillers in Mexico. 0.99

01:55:25.000 That's true. 0.99

01:55:26.000 Tijuana.

01:55:27.000 Great market.

01:55:31.000 Somebody throw him a salmon! 0.98

01:55:31.000 here is to miss rose we talked about all night we have to have one salmon we have 0.98

01:55:39.000 to enforce the law and what that means is to make sure that we get every joke

01:55:45.000 therefore No, there's still more.

01:55:47.000 We have so many wonderful people from around the world who are waiting in line following the law to try to come here and pursue the American dream.

01:55:57.000 And those people are waiting and waiting and waiting.

01:56:01.000 Yeah, because you're in line at Wendy's.

01:56:03.000 We have to have them detained.

01:56:08.000 We have to make sure that they are not rewarded for having broken the law.

01:56:13.000 And one last thing on this fentanyl issue.

01:56:16.000 With China, we can't take our eye off that ball. 1.00

01:56:20.000 Yes, it's important that we secure the border.

01:56:22.000 Very important, as I just said.

01:56:24.000 But China is sending these chemicals to these drug cartels for them to create the fentanyl that is killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens.

01:56:34.000 The Chinese are engaging in an act of war against us. 1.00

01:56:39.000 Just drop him. 0.96

01:56:40.000 That'd be a Moab they wouldn't be expecting. 1.00

01:56:43.000 Oh no! 0.98

01:56:46.000 Give him 20 minutes at a portal party and he'd fuckin' drop that off. 0.98

01:56:49.000 All the Chris Christies will block out of the sun! 0.97

01:56:53.000 We have to fight in the shade!

01:56:57.000 He's gonna roll him at the Mexican cartel. 0.99

01:56:59.000 He doesn't do bad for a fat guy I hate. 0.89

01:57:03.000 I don't know, what did you say?

01:57:04.000 I don't know, it was what Nick said that made me laugh.

01:57:07.000 I get it.

01:57:07.000 I don't know what did you say?

01:57:12.000 I know it was what Nick said to make me laugh.

01:57:14.000 I get it.

01:57:15.000 I get it.

01:57:16.000 What? 0.99

01:57:17.000 Doesn't do bad for a fat guy I hate. 0.98

01:57:18.000 Oh. 0.84

01:57:19.000 Alright so really quickly I just want to go back through a few things that happened while

01:57:22.000 We're going to go to a Trump clip.

01:57:25.000 A Trump clip?

01:57:25.000 Yeah, with Tucker Carlson.

01:57:27.000 One of my people that I love to hate, Robert Reich, said there's no such thing as abortion all the way up to the moment of birth.

01:57:33.000 Governor DeSantis is telling a dangerous lie.

01:57:35.000 That is not true at all.

01:57:37.000 Ask Governor Northam that, but he might be too busy doing blackface in his retirement phase. 0.90

01:57:41.000 Glad I had so much Northam material.

01:57:44.000 So I'm trying to go to the next Trump clip here.

01:57:47.000 Gosh, it's like 50 pages back up here.

01:57:50.000 You mean President Donald Trump with Tucker Carlson?

01:57:52.000 So we are covering, and keep this in the lower third here just so people can see that they're advertising Birch Gold.

01:57:56.000 Oh, I guess they don't have Devane doing it anymore.

01:57:59.000 So look, they're really upgrading.

01:58:00.000 No, they get Pence's nephew.

01:58:04.000 Phil Pence.

01:58:06.000 There were a couple of them that they gave me.

01:58:08.000 They gave me one really quick.

01:58:09.000 So, I don't know, let's go to the Gavin Newsom one.

01:58:12.000 And you can use the hashtag CrowderGOPDebate, $10 off Mug Club at CrowderGOPDebate.

01:58:16.000 It's a promo code you use, LightOffCrowder.com slash Mug Club.

01:58:19.000 We are covering both the debate as well as the Tucker Carlson interview that just dropped with Donald Trump.

01:58:24.000 Which is this next clip, Gerald?

01:58:26.000 So this one is him talking about Gavin Newsom.

01:58:29.000 Oh, okay, good.

01:58:29.000 There's another one they want us to get to, but we'll have to get that.

01:58:31.000 Okay, Gavin Newsom.

01:58:32.000 Yeah, they gotta give me the names if they want them.

01:58:34.000 Gavin Newsom.

01:58:36.000 Newsom, right?

01:58:37.000 Could be, could be.

01:58:38.000 I mean, you know, I always got along well with him, believe it or not, but could be him, could be somebody else.

01:58:44.000 He's got a big, a big load on his shoulders because you look at California, what's happened.

01:58:50.000 Paul Pelosi dropped it.

01:58:51.000 I don't even know if they care.

01:58:54.000 You know, you look at so many of the things that are Going on and people don't seem to be in the old days if you had a bad record it meant a lot today if you have a bad record it doesn't really mean anything.

01:59:05.000 Yeah, well actually, I don't care what he has to say about Gavin Newsom, we'll see if he ends up running against that guy, but it's civil war, like it's actually open conflict that he's talking about.

01:59:14.000 Oh, we have that clip?

01:59:16.000 Yeah, we have that one.

01:59:16.000 Great, let's hear this.

01:59:18.000 President Donald Trump talking about civil war, or as Mike Pence refers to it, something he will never touch.

01:59:25.000 Do you think it's possible that there's open conflict?

01:59:28.000 We seem to be moving towards something.

01:59:29.000 I don't know because I don't know what it, you know, I can say this.

01:59:35.000 There's a level of passion that I've never seen, there's a level of hatred that I've never seen, and there's probably a bad combination.

01:59:43.000 Donald Trump, thank you.

01:59:44.000 Thank you very much.

01:59:45.000 Why is he interviewing him in the slave galley?

01:59:48.000 Yeah.

01:59:49.000 Belly of a ship.

01:59:50.000 12 years Tucker's den.

01:59:51.000 I don't know if there's a level of passion.

01:59:53.000 I would say peacefully go, but last time that didn't work.

01:59:56.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:59:57.000 I don't know.

01:59:58.000 Look, I don't know.

01:59:59.000 I would think there shouldn't be any type of civil unrest, but if I don't win, I can't answer that question.

02:00:05.000 I can't speak for them.

02:00:06.000 A lot of people say if I don't win, they might, they might try and take out the government.

02:00:10.000 I hope it doesn't happen.

02:00:11.000 I say, no, that's the worst thing.

02:00:13.000 They say, that's what people tell me.

02:00:15.000 There's nothing I can do.

02:00:18.000 I love his style of pawning it off on someone else.

02:00:21.000 Someone else always is the originator of the idea.

02:00:24.000 I've been talking about that since 2015.

02:00:26.000 A lot of people tell me.

02:00:27.000 A lot of people?

02:00:29.000 Who's saying that?

02:00:29.000 A lot of people say that.

02:00:31.000 A lot of people.

02:00:32.000 I know these people.

02:00:32.000 You wouldn't know.

02:00:35.000 He's a great salesman.

02:00:36.000 It really is. 1.00

02:00:37.000 When people say Donald Trump is a liar, no, no, look, Joe Biden is a compulsive liar. 1.00

02:00:42.000 Donald Trump's a bit of, he's like a car, he's a bit of a bullshit artist in that he exaggerates. 1.00

02:00:46.000 There's a big difference. 0.99

02:00:47.000 There's a huge difference. 0.99

02:00:48.000 I mean, and friggin' Biden's lying about shit that, you know, affects everyday Americans. 0.99

02:00:53.000 Trump might be a bit exaggerated about how many people's at the inauguration. 0.99

02:00:56.000 Like Joe Biden will say, Joe Biden, so Bidenomics has helped every single American when they are struggling more than ever before.

02:01:01.000 Donald Trump will say, my wall will be the prettiest wall.

02:01:06.000 Like, alright, it might be okay.

02:01:08.000 Do you like Z-Brick? 1.00

02:01:09.000 Prettiest wall.

02:01:11.000 My wall will be like the Bo Derek of walls, a perfect ten.

02:01:14.000 That's what people say, I say.

02:01:17.000 Maybe it's more like a Kathy Ireland wall.

02:01:18.000 They say it's Bo Derek and ten.

02:01:22.000 So we've got the debate coming back up here, but a lot of people are saying that the Trump interview wasn't, like, it's not Donald Trump being Donald Trump. 0.99

02:01:29.000 It's Donald Trump being a little bit of a liar. 0.96

02:01:30.000 Seems like he has some advisors in his ear. 0.99

02:01:31.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:01:32.000 Well, you know, he's not punching back at stuff.

02:01:34.000 Like, it's not the funny, comical... When was this recorded?

02:01:36.000 Do we know?

02:01:37.000 I think two days ago.

02:01:38.000 Okay, he's got a lot hanging over him.

02:01:40.000 Yeah, that's true.

02:01:41.000 Four indictments, I mean, maybe five.

02:01:42.000 Yeah, you know, look, that would get to anybody, I think.

02:01:45.000 How about 93 charges?

02:01:45.000 Even Mr. DeSantis.

02:01:47.000 We are back.

02:01:47.000 Hashtag CrowderGOP debate.

02:01:49.000 And we will see who has the balls after this to sit down at the Rumble booth. 0.99

02:01:55.000 On to the debate. 0.98

02:01:56.000 ...states lock their kids out of school for a year, year and a half.

02:01:59.000 That was wrong.

02:02:00.000 I took a lot of fire for that.

02:02:00.000 We stood up.

02:02:01.000 Yeah, you did.

02:02:02.000 I was pilloried by the media, but I stood for our kids.

02:02:05.000 And as president, I'll stand for you and your kids as well.

02:02:08.000 But we have to make sure...

02:02:10.000 That what our schools are doing is focusing on solid academics.

02:02:14.000 In Florida, we eliminated critical race theory from our KDFA.

02:02:17.000 I love him for all this.

02:02:19.000 He's strong here.

02:02:20.000 I'm fine with him too.

02:02:23.000 There's no doubt.

02:02:25.000 He's the guy with the best record and the worst rhetorical skills.

02:02:30.000 I would say.

02:02:30.000 That's the thing.

02:02:31.000 He's not great at speaking right now.

02:02:32.000 He's not great at invigorating people, but he has a fantastic record.

02:02:35.000 Yes.

02:02:35.000 Yeah, he'll learn that.

02:02:37.000 Like Pence.

02:02:37.000 Look at Pence.

02:02:38.000 He's a master.

02:02:40.000 foundation and what it means to be an American.

02:03:00.000 Good!

02:03:01.000 Yes, Brett.

02:03:02.000 Thug life moment.

02:03:05.000 So look, we have a crisis of achievement. 0.68

02:03:07.000 Let's shut down the head of the snake, the Department of Education. 0.90

02:03:10.000 Take that 80 billion dollars, put it in the hands of parents across this country.

02:03:14.000 This is the civil rights issue of our time.

02:03:17.000 Allow any parent to choose where they send their kids to school.

02:03:20.000 Every high school senior should have to pass the same civics test that, frankly, every immigrant, including my mother, had to pass in order to become a citizen of this country.

02:03:30.000 And the fact of the matter is... Civics.

02:03:33.000 Richard Dreyfuss right now with his new documentary, he's like, I've been saying that for years!

02:03:38.000 But you know the word privilege gets used a lot?

02:03:41.000 I did have the ultimate privilege of two parents in the house with a focus on educational achievement.

02:03:41.000 Well, you know what?

02:03:47.000 And I want every kid to enjoy that.

02:03:49.000 So part of the problem is we also have a federal government that pays single women more not to have a man in the house than to have a man in the house contributing to an epidemic of fatherlessness. 0.91

02:04:00.000 But it's a burning hip-hop scene.

02:04:03.000 Don't stop that.

02:04:04.000 That is an important point to make because a lot of people who are labeled when we talk about the fatherless households in the black community, it's about 50-50 split.

02:04:11.000 Half the time it's the moms pushing them out because they want an additional check from the government, and these men actually want to support their children, but they can have their wages garnished, they can be put in jail, and the mother has no burden of proof to show that that money is going to the children.

02:04:24.000 So let's just be clear, we talk about fatherless black households, he just made a good point, he's talking about mothers who are incentivized by the government. 0.99

02:04:30.000 Yes.

02:04:30.000 I've been blaming them for years.

02:04:32.000 Was that factual though?

02:04:33.000 Yes. 1.00

02:04:33.000 Wow, holy fuck. 1.00

02:04:33.000 I'm serious. 1.00

02:04:36.000 No, I'm saying North Dakota made a priority of protecting women's sports, and we've done that. 0.99

02:04:40.000 I'm about to have a threesome with Gary Oldman.

02:04:43.000 I do think when we start talking about education, trans athletes in sports, we're just completely losing track of the fact that education differs by state.

02:04:55.000 Some school districts are doing a fantastic job, some less so.

02:04:58.000 But the idea that every school district, state, and every teacher is somehow indoctrinating people is just false.

02:05:04.000 You know, when I was building a company That's a bad answer.

02:05:07.000 It is a systemic problem.

02:05:09.000 Systemic racism isn't a problem.

02:05:11.000 systemic educational corruption is a problem.

02:05:15.000 Don't bring up the four exceptions.

02:05:16.000 Right.

02:05:17.000 We talk to them.

02:05:18.000 We do that.

02:05:19.000 And as governor, well, education is one of the biggest parts of the state budget.

02:05:20.000 I hear Poughkeepsie is a good charter school.

02:05:21.000 So many of them.

02:05:22.000 Oh, it's out of this world.

02:05:23.000 So as a governor, I go.

02:05:24.000 I shadow the students.

02:05:25.000 I don't, the night before I find out the students, the student finds out, I'm going to go to

02:05:28.000 every class with them.

02:05:30.000 I don't sit and lecture school districts how to do it.

02:05:32.000 I go and see the experience.

02:05:33.000 And there's a lot of things that have to change.

02:05:35.000 But what needs to change in education is innovation.

02:05:39.000 We're doing it the same way we did it 50 years ago with innovation, not regulation.

02:05:43.000 I would get rid of the Department of Education.

02:05:44.000 That's not true.

02:05:45.000 We're not doing it the same way we did it 50 years ago.

02:05:47.000 As a matter of fact, we're doing it worse than before there was a federal department of education, just to be clear.

02:05:50.000 When you hear this, by the way, Gen Z and a lot of millennials, you go, what would we do without a federal department of education?

02:05:55.000 Ask your parents, the boomers who you mock all the time because it's a cool meme. 0.97

02:05:58.000 They likely went to school before there was a federal department of education, and they They actually tested higher in standardized testing scores because it was state run and run by municipalities.

02:06:08.000 So this idea that you need a federal department of education, no, it has failed and actually the objective measurements that we have, the metrics, shows that it has gotten worse.

02:06:16.000 That's where a guy like, what's his, I always forget his last name, Dugum, whatever, lost me.

02:06:20.000 Let's hear Nikki Haley.

02:06:21.000 Burgum.

02:06:22.000 Crazy woke things happening in schools, but we've got to get these kids reading.

02:06:26.000 If a child can't read by third grade, they're four times less likely.

02:06:29.000 Eight days after I was born, the Department of Education came around.

02:06:33.000 You're old.

02:06:33.000 October 17th, 1979.

02:06:34.000 That's terrific.

02:06:35.000 I am not old.

02:06:36.000 I am 43, not yet 44.

02:06:39.000 So we blame you.

02:06:39.000 I agree 100%.

02:06:40.000 You're old.

02:06:41.000 Yeah, but so Carrie Lake had this right, right? 0.65

02:06:43.000 So we talked about, we did an interview with Carrie Lake up there.

02:06:46.000 She said that the money should follow the student.

02:06:48.000 You want to change public education?

02:06:50.000 You start incentivizing schools by letting children and parents, obviously parents make the decision, but the children, the dollars follow them.

02:06:58.000 They get to pick where they go.

02:07:00.000 If you have a good school and you're desirable, more people go there.

02:07:03.000 By the way, the black and white and the gray issues coming up, it's the one that was controversial, it's the one that went on for an hour and a half with of course a black woman and daughter who went to private school from a wealthy suburban area, guess what?

02:07:12.000 They attacked me, you'll see this, all of them were very good conversations, they were furious, they demanded that I not air it, and after that, I said, hold on a second.

02:07:21.000 Let's see if we can find common ground on one thing.

02:07:23.000 It was a segment that was going to be uploaded as a video.

02:07:25.000 But who's they?

02:07:26.000 It was a black woman and her daughter saying, you know, we don't want you to air this.

02:07:29.000 We don't think this is productive.

02:07:30.000 And then at the end of it, they agreed.

02:07:32.000 They said, well, yeah, school choice, a school voucher program.

02:07:35.000 They said, how can anyone be against that?

02:07:36.000 I said, hold on a second.

02:07:37.000 Hold on.

02:07:38.000 What if I were to tell you that the only reason the Democrats oppose it is because they claim it's racist? 1.00

02:07:41.000 They said, well, that's bullshit. 0.99

02:07:43.000 I said, that's my point. 1.00

02:07:44.000 Exactly.

02:07:44.000 That'll be coming out next week or the week after.

02:07:46.000 Let's hear Mike Pence say that.

02:07:47.000 Or did you say, what if I offer you a carton of Kohl's?

02:07:50.000 I both.

02:07:51.000 Let me say, I hedged my bets.

02:07:52.000 I'm running for president of the United States.

02:07:53.000 Dump it.

02:07:54.000 I saw you.

02:07:55.000 We don't need a president.

02:07:56.000 I saw you.

02:07:56.000 You don't need to dump it.

02:07:57.000 I saw you and he said dump it.

02:07:58.000 No, he didn't say dump it.

02:08:00.000 No, I said pop it.

02:08:02.000 I'm like, drop it?

02:08:02.000 I don't need a president who knows how Congress works.

02:08:04.000 He's getting booed again.

02:08:05.000 How the White House works.

02:08:06.000 What did I miss?

02:08:07.000 What were people laughing at him for?

02:08:08.000 He just unbid his fly.

02:08:11.000 No, get rid of it.

02:08:12.000 Oh, good.

02:08:12.000 There's one answer that's good.

02:08:13.000 Every time he... They put the camera on, it's 1988 for some reason.

02:08:16.000 Isn't it?

02:08:16.000 Stop with the boys regularly.

02:08:17.000 You were in the White House.

02:08:32.000 You didn't get it done. That's right. Credit for everything else and then he wants to pass the buck. We're gonna do

02:08:39.000 this. You didn't do it. You didn't do it. But you know what I'd say, Gerald, I'd go, I'd go, Gerald, I'd go, Gerald, I

02:08:44.000 was the vice president of a company. Okay, fine, fine. I went to funerals, you wouldn't let me do it. The difference

02:08:49.000 between somebody who's an automaton and somebody who's actually a thinking agent in the White House, which we don't

02:08:54.000 have in there today. This guy's so much brighter than anybody else. And I won't tell you how to address Vice

02:08:56.000 President Pence's comment. Except for like I say, I like I think we do need somebody of a different generation to lead this nation forward.

02:09:01.000 Look at the way I've run this campaign, going to the south side of Chicago, to Kensington, in the middle of Philadelphia, where traditional Republican candidates don't go.

02:09:10.000 We have an opportunity to build a multi-ethnic, working-class majority to deliver a landslide, and I think I'm the only candidate in this race, young or old, black or white, to bring all of those voters along to deliver a Reagan 1980 revolution.

02:09:24.000 Is he saying that because he's between black and white?

02:09:27.000 Yeah.

02:09:28.000 He's actually darker than Tim Scott.

02:09:30.000 You can do a side-by-side, I guarantee you.

02:09:33.000 Certainly South Indians are, maybe not him. 1.00

02:09:35.000 Maybe not him, but South Indians are darker. 1.00

02:09:39.000 I'm all for him.

02:09:39.000 I like him.

02:09:40.000 I love him.

02:09:41.000 I love his food.

02:09:42.000 I love his culture.

02:09:43.000 You have 30 seconds on the same question.

02:09:46.000 On education, first of all, look at Arkansas. 1.00

02:09:49.000 Shut up, silly! 1.00

02:09:50.000 You're going to hell, Nick. 1.00

02:09:52.000 Wouldn't you like to see somebody's fist? 1.00

02:09:55.000 What if anyone wanted to look at Arkansas?

02:09:58.000 Exactly!

02:09:59.000 Look at Arkansas.

02:10:00.000 We've got Walmart.

02:10:01.000 Otherwise, we wouldn't exist.

02:10:02.000 Exactly!

02:10:04.000 Look at all these trailer parks.

02:10:05.000 Could you pan to this trailer park?

02:10:07.000 You saw that series, Ozarks?

02:10:09.000 This guy is it.

02:10:12.000 He makes Christie look like Elvis with his stage presence.

02:10:16.000 Well, Christie kind of does look like late Elvis.

02:10:21.000 He does. 1.00

02:10:22.000 I really feel like this is a ASA you ignorant slut moment. 1.00

02:10:26.000 Yes! 1.00

02:10:29.000 You talked about it a little bit before tonight.

02:10:32.000 So is there a role for a President of the United States in changing that?

02:10:37.000 What would you do to change that?

02:10:39.000 Our nation was founded upon the Judeo-Christian values that has made us the greatest nation on God's green earth.

02:10:45.000 I'm a big believer in Ephesians 3.20 that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask for.

02:10:50.000 Our responsibility should be the model of behavior we want others to follow.

02:10:57.000 That's violent.

02:10:59.000 Good, good answer.

02:10:59.000 That's too violent, that image.

02:11:00.000 nation is to break the backs of the teachers unions.

02:11:04.000 That's violent.

02:11:05.000 Good, good answer.

02:11:06.000 They're standing in the doorhouse of our kids.

02:11:07.000 That's too violent, that image.

02:11:08.000 Locking them into failing schools. 1.00

02:11:11.000 Shoot them in the head, will that work? 1.00

02:11:13.000 And locking them out of the greatest future. 1.00

02:11:15.000 I don't know.

02:11:15.000 I don't want to paralyze.

02:11:16.000 That's why I like this guy too.

02:11:17.000 He walked the walk.

02:11:18.000 want to paralyze you support some mandatory military service somebody

02:11:24.000 that volunteered to serve inspired by September 11th and I deployed to Iraq

02:11:29.000 alongside US Navy that's why I like this guy and it's something that I think has

02:11:35.000 taught me you know when you go in that type of call monkey box anything 0.97

02:11:41.000 Damn, tonight. 0.98

02:11:42.000 I really thought there was a shot. 1.00

02:11:44.000 I go, Trump's not even there.

02:11:45.000 Gun! 0.87

02:11:45.000 These guys mean business. 0.87

02:11:46.000 RIVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Okay, now for something completely different. 0.96

02:12:06.000 She lifts her shirt. 0.85

02:12:07.000 Governor Christie, do you believe that the recent spike in UFO encounters... Oh, gosh.

02:12:14.000 I get the UFO question.

02:12:15.000 And you wonder why Legacy Media is dying.

02:12:18.000 Who just said that I get the UFO question?

02:12:20.000 The one who looks like a UFO.

02:12:22.000 I think it was Christie.

02:12:23.000 It was.

02:12:23.000 And people are taking this a lot more seriously.

02:12:25.000 And we're hearing that, you know, there are things going on that people aren't aware of.

02:12:30.000 We take this about as seriously as you do.

02:12:33.000 Would you level with the American people about what the government does about what's possible?

02:12:41.000 And especially coming from a woman from New Jersey.

02:12:44.000 I think it's horrible that just because I'm from New Jersey you ask me about unidentified flying objects and Martians.

02:12:51.000 We're different, but we're not that different.

02:12:54.000 Look, answer the question, bro.

02:12:56.000 The job of the President of the United States Is to level with the American people about everything.

02:13:03.000 The job of the President of the United States is to stand for truth.

02:13:06.000 The job of the President of the United States is to be a role model for our children and our grandchildren.

02:13:14.000 And so whether it was UFOs or this problem of education... So we need to pick an overweight man to be a role model?

02:13:19.000 Can you give me the male Lizzo?

02:13:22.000 What does this have to do with UFOs?

02:13:24.000 Nothing.

02:13:24.000 He doesn't want to answer that question.

02:13:25.000 Why didn't he pivot?

02:13:25.000 I don't fault him for this.

02:13:27.000 It's a stupid question. 0.99

02:13:27.000 Because they're putting themselves before our kids that what does that do with you? 0.99

02:13:31.000 I was nothing he doesn't want to answer that question. It's a way to be quiet

02:13:35.000 I don't I don't I don't fault him for this. It's a stupid question. That's a really dumb question 1.00

02:13:39.000 From the spin room right here Hey, that's a casino in Vegas. 0.99

02:13:43.000 Hey, who's that guy?

02:13:44.000 CMGM Grant.

02:13:45.000 Hannity?

02:13:45.000 Hey, that's a casino in Vegas.

02:13:47.000 Hey, who's that guy?

02:13:49.000 It's the MGM Grinch.

02:13:51.000 Hannity's like, I'm next!

02:13:53.000 God, Hannity. 0.94

02:13:55.000 Okay, so, uh, hey, by the way, I should probably tell you this a little bit.

02:13:58.000 I don't know if we want to take some chats, but again, the promo code is CROWDERGOPDEBATE.

02:14:02.000 You get $10 off.

02:14:03.000 You get two times a show every single day with us.

02:14:03.000 Hey, with Mug Club, what do you get?

02:14:05.000 You get a Friday show.

02:14:06.000 You get Alex Jones as Alex Jones 2.0 on Fridays.

02:14:09.000 You get Nick DiPaolo's show Monday through Friday at 5 p.m.

02:14:13.000 You're going to have Brian Callen's show, Hodge Twin's show, you support our investigative journalism unit, and we also have some animated series coming down the pike.

02:14:19.000 None of it happens if not Not for you.

02:14:20.000 Notice there are very, very few commercial breaks in tonight, which is an exhausting three-hour stream.

02:14:26.000 But I do have to, you know, every now and then, you know this, Nick.

02:14:28.000 Did you say three?

02:14:30.000 We like to have a little... His contract ends at... Wow, I've been going a little... Someone hit the gunshot again, let's... Wake up, Nick!

02:14:37.000 Did you really think that was happening in the... I thought I heard a shot in the studio.

02:14:42.000 I was waiting for Walter Cronkite, come on, Vivek Ramaswamy.

02:14:46.000 He's dead at 9.30 Eastern Time.

02:14:48.000 Yes.

02:14:50.000 I hate to interrupt this program.

02:14:53.000 So, you know, we like to have a little, we like to have a laugh sometimes in the studio, and sometimes we pull some pranks on each other.

02:14:58.000 You know this.

02:14:59.000 How long have we been on?

02:15:00.000 And you know, about over two hours.

02:15:02.000 Oh, good.

02:15:03.000 And you know that Gerald is obviously a very devout Christian.

02:15:05.000 Oh, jeez, here we go.

02:15:06.000 I do, because every time I say something off-color, he cringes.

02:15:09.000 I do, a little bit.

02:15:09.000 Look, it's a mix.

02:15:10.000 There's an intersective audience.

02:15:11.000 I'm wearing a shirt that says, Jesus is risen.

02:15:13.000 Yes, and by the way, we all agree on these things.

02:15:15.000 Hit the like button if you like this eclectic mix that is going on, but we like to have a laugh here.

02:15:18.000 I love you, Nick.

02:15:19.000 And sometimes we pull some pranks in the office, and because, you know, Gerald has often talked about, he's talked about... Really?

02:15:26.000 Well, yeah, you remember, so we pulled a little bit of a prank on Gerald this weekend.

02:15:29.000 What did you do to the poor guy?

02:15:30.000 You know, I think we all had a good time with it.

02:15:33.000 What did they do, Gerald?

02:15:34.000 What did they do to you?

02:15:35.000 The girls didn't. 0.99

02:15:36.000 Good Monday morning.

02:15:37.000 Come on guys.

02:15:38.000 You're not going to get any sleep tonight.

02:15:39.000 You're going to be late for work.

02:15:44.000 You got to collar and... What the?

02:15:49.000 Guys?

02:15:50.000 Anybody?

02:15:52.000 Hey! 0.99

02:15:53.000 What?

02:15:55.000 What?

02:15:58.000 No way.

02:15:59.000 No, Steve, Steven, Steven!

02:16:00.000 Oh, no, no, no, Tim?

02:16:03.000 No, no, no, no, no, Tim, Tim!

02:16:05.000 Oh, come on, Lord!

02:16:07.000 Tim with his PR headband?

02:16:10.000 I did everything I was supposed to do!

02:16:12.000 I went to church, I went to ministry school, I went on mission trips!

02:16:15.000 For goodness sakes, you've got to be kidding!

02:16:18.000 Oh, hey Gerald!

02:16:18.000 Sam?

02:16:19.000 Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo With Sam. 0.53

02:16:39.000 Yeah, I know.

02:16:41.000 There's a difference.

02:16:43.000 I'll take left behind with the Antichrist and, you know, people dying left and right, but not left behind with Sam.

02:16:48.000 Well, who's to say that Sam is not that?

02:16:52.000 Let's bring up the drinking game rules one more time.

02:16:56.000 They just had to help touch up Nick because he was shining like the greasy Sicilian that he is. 1.00

02:17:00.000 I love that I'm Sicilian.

02:17:03.000 I'm never gonna stop.

02:17:05.000 Take it easy.

02:17:05.000 Anytime Donald Trump is mentioned, 2020 January 6th is mentioned, the moderator cuts off or interrupts a candidate, anytime with a thug life moment, and then you finish your drink anytime a candidate mentions a Democrat other than Joseph Biden.

02:17:19.000 McCallum chose him.

02:17:21.000 It's been pretty effective so far.

02:17:23.000 Yeah, I'm feeling it.

02:17:23.000 Do we have the answer actually on that poll regarding disbanding the intelligence agency?

02:17:27.000 Yeah, I know it was overwhelmingly yes.

02:17:31.000 Overwhelmingly disband the FBI.

02:17:32.000 I'd be disappointed if it wasn't.

02:17:34.000 This is a long commercial break.

02:17:36.000 Do you want to go to, really quickly, one of your remaining interviews?

02:17:41.000 Sure.

02:17:41.000 There's the poll.

02:17:43.000 And it's getting worse.

02:17:47.000 Several thousand votes.

02:17:48.000 You could be worse than 91% agreeing with you at those ages.

02:17:51.000 Is that what it is?

02:17:52.000 Yeah, it's getting worse.

02:17:53.000 Okay, so I'm going to go- by the way, can I just actually ask a question in chat?

02:17:56.000 Why does anyone use that hand- like, my hands smell like my grandmother's funeral.

02:18:01.000 Old dead people, yes.

02:18:02.000 It's just so overpowering. 1.00

02:18:04.000 Sometimes my wife puts a shit on, comes in the living room, I get nauseous. 1.00

02:18:07.000 Yeah, I know, it really does. 1.00

02:18:08.000 I'm hypersensitive to it, it makes me nauseous.

02:18:10.000 We're gonna have a little therapy session for Nick.

02:18:15.000 But I had a lady sit next to me on a plane with that. 1.00

02:18:19.000 And it's like going into a Campbell's shop for three hours.

02:18:22.000 It's like someone farted lavender pellets all over my hands.

02:18:26.000 So I don't know, how long is this?

02:18:27.000 We have Gerald again.

02:18:28.000 Bring it up in the lower third so people can see that Birch Gold is still going on right now.

02:18:31.000 There's a commercial break.

02:18:32.000 No, I think they're coming back.

02:18:34.000 No, that's the Reagan Library.

02:18:35.000 Let's see what we've raised so far.

02:18:37.000 They're doing this in September.

02:18:39.000 Oh, yeah, that's in September.

02:18:41.000 You sat down with Marjorie Taylor Greene, or spent some time with Marjorie Taylor Greene and some other candidates in Milwaukee.

02:18:46.000 So let's roll that really quickly as we come back to the debates with people outside of DeSantis and Vivek who no one cares about.

02:18:51.000 But here's Gerald in Milwaukee.

02:18:53.000 So obviously you can see we have Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green.

02:19:04.000 Thank you for hanging out with us for a minute.

02:19:05.000 Yeah, thanks for having me on.

02:19:06.000 Absolutely.

02:19:07.000 The Biden crime family name is going around quite a bit.

02:19:10.000 I'm hearing a lot of people talk about that.

02:19:13.000 You've obviously had a lot to say about this.

02:19:14.000 What do you think is the most egregious thing that the American people need to grab a hold of that maybe they aren't about what's going on?

02:19:21.000 Well, I serve on the Oversight Committee, and we've been leading the investigation in the House of Representatives into the Biden family.

02:19:29.000 And our investigation is not into Hunter Biden, it's into Joe Biden directly himself.

02:19:34.000 The most damning evidence, shocking to me, Was when we went in the Treasury Department.

02:19:39.000 I've been there several times and there's these reports called Suspicious Activity Reports.

02:19:44.000 SARS.

02:19:44.000 This is a report you don't have on you.

02:19:47.000 There's not one on me.

02:19:48.000 There's not one on most people watching this show.

02:19:50.000 I would doubt hardly anyone.

02:19:52.000 But there's thousands of pages.

02:19:55.000 On Hunter Biden, all kinds of Biden family members, but it outlined very devastating things.

02:20:02.000 It showed us that there were millions and millions of dollars coming from countries all over the world going directly into bank accounts that Hunter Biden and Biden family members managed under LLCs.

02:20:15.000 Right, the 20-ish.

02:20:16.000 I mean, you have 20 as well, right?

02:20:17.000 Everybody just has 20 LLCs.

02:20:18.000 That's the way you normally do business, especially when you're not selling a product.

02:20:21.000 Right.

02:20:22.000 Working on the inside and really seeing how utterly bad it really is, I've changed my mindset to the point where I'm like, we only have one choice, and it is to vote.

02:20:34.000 If you don't vote, you're really voting for the other side.

02:20:38.000 Not voting is truly helping the Democrats.

02:20:40.000 Yeah.

02:20:41.000 Congresswoman, thank you very much.

02:20:42.000 I appreciate that you're in the fight, continue to do it, and we look forward to seeing what happens tomorrow.

02:20:46.000 Hopefully some people start throwing some heat. 0.79

02:20:48.000 We'll see what happens.

02:20:48.000 I hope they drop out.

02:20:50.000 They probably should.

02:20:51.000 There's a number of them that should.

02:20:52.000 Fight the Democrats!

02:20:53.000 Yes, we should focus our efforts.

02:20:54.000 That's not a bad point.

02:20:55.000 I like that.

02:20:58.000 Carrie, thank you very much for being here.

02:20:59.000 It's so good to be back on.

02:21:01.000 What's your take on Big Tech?

02:21:02.000 I know you've been mistreated.

02:21:03.000 I know we've talked about that before in the past, and that's an understatement, I know.

02:21:07.000 But tell me what you think about Big Tech and Rumble's place relative to YouTube, to Fox, and all those other guys.

02:21:12.000 I'm a huge fan of Rumble.

02:21:14.000 The first time I ever streamed a video and put a video out, I chose to do Rumble rather than YouTube, because YouTube has been behind censoring Americans on talking about the most important issues of our time.

02:21:26.000 Right.

02:21:26.000 What's happening, I think, if there are good ratings on this, because I think with missing President Trump, I don't think people really are going to watch that much.

02:21:35.000 It's going to be interesting.

02:21:36.000 But I predict that Rumble may have more viewers than Fox News.

02:21:41.000 Absolutely.

02:21:42.000 And so I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of old school, legacy media, and we're seeing it being replaced with outlets where we can put the truth out, where people can get to it without having to pay a huge cable bill, without having to buy up a bunch of stations that they're not interested in watching on cable news.

02:22:02.000 And frankly, I think Fox is going to struggle with their ratings tomorrow.

02:22:06.000 I do too.

02:22:07.000 Thank you very much for making some time with us.

02:22:08.000 I appreciate it.

02:22:09.000 Thank you so much.

02:22:11.000 Alright guys, thanks for joining us.

02:22:12.000 We ran into somebody.

02:22:13.000 Alright, we're going to cut into that.

02:22:15.000 They're doing closing statements really quickly, so we want to go to that.

02:22:17.000 And then we'll see who actually sits down at the Rumble booth here for the Crowder GOP debate.

02:22:21.000 Tim Scott, closing statements.

02:22:22.000 Against men.

02:22:24.000 He's getting laughs.

02:22:26.000 I'm Tim Scott.

02:22:27.000 I'm asking you for your vote, and if you're in Iowa, I'm asking you to caucus for me.

02:22:32.000 You can go to VoteTimScott.com for more information or to make a contribution.

02:22:37.000 Get me money.

02:22:38.000 You did a good job.

02:22:41.000 Thank you, Brett.

02:22:42.000 Thank you, Martha.

02:22:43.000 Look, everybody on this stage wants to be the next President of the United States.

02:22:47.000 And the only way that's going to happen is if we beat Joe Biden.

02:22:51.000 I'm the only one on this stage who's ever beaten a Democratic incumbent.

02:22:54.000 Did he say beaten or eaten?

02:22:55.000 I did it in a deep blue state, being outspent three to one.

02:22:59.000 Beating a Democratic incumbent is not easy.

02:23:01.000 The last Democratic incumbent president who was defeated was Jimmy Carter.

02:23:05.000 No Weight Watchers isn't easy.

02:23:06.000 And he was defeated by conservative government.

02:23:07.000 Granted that you beat a Democrat as a Republican in New Jersey is not a plus.

02:23:12.000 Show me you can defeat your weight and then I'll put you down.

02:23:15.000 I'll put you in a bad spot.

02:23:30.000 other nominee who's never beaten the Democratic incumbent.

02:23:33.000 I'm the one who can win this race.

02:23:35.000 If you give me the chance, I will restore our country by winning it.

02:23:43.000 Several weeks ago, I dropped my husband Michael, a combat veteran from Afghanistan, off at 4 a.m.

02:23:50.000 for another year-long deployment.

02:23:53.000 I watched 10 and 230 soldiers pick up their two duffel bags of belongings to go to a country they've never been, all in the name of protecting America.

02:24:04.000 Yeah, not you.

02:24:04.000 They are willing to protect us from there.

02:24:08.000 We should be willing to fight for America here.

02:24:11.000 I will beat Joe Biden and he knows that.

02:24:13.000 You're a globalist.

02:24:14.000 I will strengthen our economy and we'll bring this inflation down.

02:24:17.000 We will put transparency in the classroom.

02:24:19.000 We will secure our borders.

02:24:21.000 We will have the backs of our law enforcement and we will make sure we have a strong national security.

02:24:27.000 And once again, we will make sure we have an America that is strong and proud.

02:24:31.000 We have a country to save.

02:24:33.000 Join us, go to NikkiHaley.com and let's get it done.

02:24:36.000 And I'll stop shopping at Marshall's.

02:24:38.000 That's a great story.

02:24:40.000 TJ Maxx.

02:24:42.000 Oh no.

02:24:44.000 Look at, here he comes.

02:24:46.000 Martha, for this evening, it's an honor to be here. 0.99

02:24:48.000 Shut your face. 0.97

02:24:49.000 Joe Biden has weakened America at home and abroad. 0.99

02:24:52.000 Still funny.

02:24:54.000 The disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

02:24:56.000 The war on energy.

02:24:59.000 Runaway spending that launched the worst inflation in 40 years.

02:25:01.000 A crisis set our social order.

02:25:03.000 An assault on our values and liberties.

02:25:05.000 And the American people have had enough.

02:25:08.000 But I know we can bring it back.

02:25:10.000 The different times call for different leadership.

02:25:12.000 Jesus.

02:25:14.000 Don't buy it.

02:25:14.000 Sorry, Mike.

02:25:15.000 It's out of a movie.

02:25:16.000 Proven.

02:25:17.000 None of this is authentic.

02:25:19.000 He's a guy playing a Republican in a movie.

02:25:21.000 He has.

02:25:22.000 Written by Libs.

02:25:22.000 If you proved in the Trump-Pence years, you can turn this country around faster than you can imagine.

02:25:26.000 You couldn't turn her on a pickup truck, you dinky.

02:25:28.000 Because I have faith in the American people.

02:25:30.000 You do?

02:25:30.000 Where has he been the last two years?

02:25:32.000 No, no, no.

02:25:32.000 We don't need to renew our faith in each other if it includes corrupt members of the government.

02:25:35.000 That is not the people, that is not the American populace you are speaking to.

02:25:37.000 yet. And if we will renew our faith in one another and renew our faith in him who has ever guided

02:25:44.000 this nation since we arrived on these wilderness shores.

02:25:47.000 Where has he been the last two years?

02:25:48.000 The greatest nation on earth. No, no, no, we don't need to renew our faith in each other if it

02:25:52.000 includes corrupt members of the government. That is not the people, that is not the American

02:25:56.000 populace you are speaking to. Vivek, let's hear him. To celebrate our diversity and our differences

02:26:02.000 so much that we forgot all of the ways we are really just the same as Americans bound by a

02:26:08.000 common set of ideals that set this nation into motion in 1776.

02:26:14.000 And this is our moment to revive those common ideals.

02:26:18.000 God is real.

02:26:19.000 There are two genders.

02:26:20.000 Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity.

02:26:24.000 Reverse racism is racism.

02:26:27.000 An open border is not a border.

02:26:29.000 Parents determine the education of their children.

02:26:32.000 The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to man.

02:26:37.000 Capitalism lifts us up from poverty.

02:26:40.000 There are three branches of government.

02:26:42.000 And finally, the Mets.

02:26:44.000 Let's see Governor DeSantis.

02:26:45.000 is the strongest guarantor of freedom in human history.

02:26:49.000 That is what won us the American Revolution.

02:26:51.000 That is what will win us the revolution of 2024.

02:26:55.000 Thanks for letting me introduce myself.

02:26:57.000 And finally, the Mets.

02:27:00.000 Pretty good.

02:27:01.000 Game, set, match.

02:27:02.000 Let's see Governor DeSantis.

02:27:04.000 Hi, guys.

02:27:05.000 Where's the Coke?

02:27:05.000 I'm Ron DeSantis.

02:27:08.000 I got no strings to hold me down.

02:27:09.000 My ears are really big.

02:27:10.000 They don't want an Indian. 1.00

02:27:12.000 My ears are really big.

02:27:14.000 They don't want an Indian. 1.00

02:27:16.000 I'm a blue collar kid. I work minimum wage jobs to be able to make ends meet. I understand the American dream and I

02:27:23.000 know how that slipped away from so many millions of Americans.

02:27:28.000 We'll restore it.

02:27:29.000 I'm a veteran who served in Iraq.

02:27:30.000 I know what it means to put service above self.

02:27:33.000 I'm also a dad and a husband of six, five, and three-year-old.

02:27:36.000 I understand the importance of protecting parents' rights and the well-being of our children in Florida.

02:27:41.000 We showed it could be done.

02:27:43.000 I made promises and I delivered on all of those promises.

02:27:47.000 2024 is make or break.

02:27:49.000 We're not getting a mulligan.

02:27:51.000 No excuses.

02:27:52.000 I will get the job done.

02:27:54.000 And as your president, I will not let you down.

02:27:57.000 God bless you all.

02:27:59.000 Not bad.

02:28:00.000 No, that was bad.

02:28:01.000 I'm sorry, he rushed through that.

02:28:03.000 We don't get them all again.

02:28:04.000 I'm thinking of every slogan I can possibly think of.

02:28:06.000 They gave him the red light, you know.

02:28:08.000 They didn't give everyone closing statements?

02:28:11.000 No.

02:28:11.000 I guess we skipped some.

02:28:13.000 I missed Burgums?

02:28:14.000 Yeah.

02:28:15.000 What will I do with myself?

02:28:16.000 They did the worst first.

02:28:18.000 I gotta get back to Kinkos, but I had a great time.

02:28:22.000 But first I have to find the last remaining Kinkos. 0.97

02:28:26.000 That's a task.

02:28:28.000 Had a great time.

02:28:30.000 Alright, so look, again, the promo code is if you go to ladderwithcrowder.com slash MugClub it's CrowderGOPdebate.

02:28:35.000 You get $10 off if you join up now.

02:28:37.000 None of this happens without you.

02:28:39.000 We're going to see, right now we have someone on the ground there in Milwaukee to see who's going to sit down at our booth.

02:28:44.000 Rumble has a booth going on there if you're watching on YouTube.

02:28:46.000 Head on over to Rumble.

02:28:47.000 We're going to go to MugClub exclusive after, I don't know the timeline here tonight because we're waiting to see the candidates who sit down.

02:28:52.000 I do know that we have at least one or two.

02:28:53.000 Yeah, we're going to see who we can get.

02:28:54.000 It's basically the Wild West out there.

02:28:56.000 Well, it's the Wild West and of course they have some stops they have to make first with people who've actively either contributed to their campaign or provided press as, you know, pro bono.

02:29:06.000 But anyone who wants to sit down and look, what questions would you have for these candidates?

02:29:09.000 Send them in.

02:29:11.000 I think obviously it seems like tonight Vivek was the biggest winner.

02:29:14.000 And I understand that people will say, well, hold on a second, his rhetoric doesn't maybe necessarily match his own rhetoric in the past.

02:29:19.000 And I don't really, I've looked.

02:29:21.000 I've spent a lot of time looking into Vivek.

02:29:22.000 I don't really see the waffling that people claim.

02:29:25.000 I think that he's provided clarity on some answers.

02:29:26.000 You have to understand, this is not a man who's been in the public spotlight a whole lot.

02:29:29.000 This is not a man who's been in public office.

02:29:31.000 And so what you know about his points of view in the past either are coming from excerpts of his book or really interviews where he's not consistently in front of the press.

02:29:39.000 I think tonight he made it pretty clear where he stands.

02:29:41.000 I think it was his kind of coming out party to the American public.

02:29:44.000 I think he did well.

02:29:46.000 I think that DeSantis did all right, and surprisingly, I never get the guy's name right.

02:29:51.000 What's his name, the governor?

02:29:52.000 Burgum.

02:29:53.000 Stop it.

02:29:53.000 Burgum.

02:29:54.000 I would rank him number three after those two, surprisingly.

02:29:57.000 He was more interesting than some of the other people.

02:29:59.000 Yeah, his looks.

02:30:02.000 Yeah.

02:30:03.000 But as far as Vivek and you saying, you know, people pointing out some things, he said maybe he's evolved on the issues.

02:30:08.000 Yeah.

02:30:08.000 Like the Democrats say.

02:30:10.000 When they flip-flop a little bit.

02:30:10.000 Yes, exactly.

02:30:12.000 But I've evolved on this.

02:30:13.000 But in their case they just... He did what I thought.

02:30:15.000 Yeah.

02:30:16.000 I've been saying it on my show for a few months now.

02:30:16.000 He did.

02:30:20.000 Cause every time I've seen this guy, whether it was on Fox a year and a half ago, I go, damn, what is, he impresses me every, he has a, he has a different take on these things that everybody else does. 0.94

02:30:30.000 He's very eloquent. 0.94

02:30:32.000 And to me, maybe I'm just a, you know, sap, but he seems more sincere.

02:30:37.000 I don't know.

02:30:38.000 No, I think you're right.

02:30:39.000 The closest example I could point to would be Carly Fiorina in 2016. 1.00

02:30:44.000 And so I hope that he doesn't make the same mistake where Carly Fiorina came in as a contender and then all of a sudden had the Mitt Romney advisors in her ear.

02:30:51.000 But she was a failure as a CEO, remember? 0.99

02:30:53.000 Well, no, that's one thing actually I will say in her defense.

02:30:56.000 People don't realize that HP was hemorrhaging hundreds of millions and then they started hemorrhaging far less.

02:31:01.000 So if you're going into a company and it's like, okay, they're losing $800 million one year, the next year they lose $200 million. 0.97

02:31:04.000 Well, I bought a printer from that bitch and it didn't work for two weeks. 1.00

02:31:10.000 But that's the closest comparison, honestly, that I would have, and I just hope that he doesn't make the same mistake. 0.97

02:31:15.000 Do we think that anyone here closed the gap on Donald Trump?

02:31:19.000 I think that Vivek maybe closed the gap as far as being a top choice for VP for Donald Trump.

02:31:23.000 I was going to say, he already, I know it's early to say this, he's going to be in a cabinet.

02:31:29.000 Yeah, he's going to be in a cabinet position.

02:31:31.000 I think it'll... Not a closet, I said a cabinet.

02:31:34.000 Yeah, no, that would be a burgum.

02:31:37.000 Coffin.

02:31:39.000 Good evening!

02:31:41.000 Good to be to the beach!

02:31:43.000 And again, we're kind of in a box here, just so you know.

02:31:45.000 We're in a studio where we don't have anything other than the air support that's provided to us from Mission Control.

02:31:49.000 They've been doing a very good job tonight.

02:31:50.000 I would be willing to bet, willing to bet, that people on Twitter and social media are outraged, let me guess, over Vivek saying that man-made climate change was a hoax.

02:32:00.000 Over the idea of defunding the Federal Department of Education.

02:32:03.000 I'm just going on what they think are going to be their winning issues, and of course they'll go in on Pence on the federal abortion ban.

02:32:10.000 Are you talking about lefties?

02:32:11.000 Yeah, I'm talking about lefties.

02:32:12.000 I'm willing to bet that's what's going on on Twitter right now.

02:32:14.000 How about abandoning the internet, folks?

02:32:15.000 They're going to try and go after Vivek for saying that man-made climate change is a hoax.

02:32:20.000 So I think what we're seeing right now is that the Vegas oddsmakers are saying that DeSantis did better than Vivek, right?

02:32:27.000 So they're saying that Vivek went down just a little bit.

02:32:30.000 So here's what I heard from Vivek that I didn't hear from anybody else.

02:32:30.000 I don't think so.

02:32:34.000 A very clear, concise, what, six, seven points that he gave at the end there.

02:32:39.000 Every single time he came back to this, he went head-on into these issues.

02:32:43.000 The other guys gave very canned responses.

02:32:46.000 I think DeSantis did give some pretty clear answers, and I do think that he had the strength of being able to point to his record as governor.

02:32:51.000 He does.

02:32:52.000 So again, I think he's a guy whose record, his rhetoric doesn't match up with the strength of his record.

02:32:57.000 And I like DeSantis a lot.

02:32:58.000 Right.

02:32:59.000 So put him, you put him next to Vivek.

02:33:00.000 Which is good, you want actions, not talk.

02:33:01.000 Right, exactly.

02:33:02.000 But you put him next to Vivek, right?

02:33:03.000 And you go, hmm.

02:33:05.000 DeSantis all of a sudden seems very kind of like stodgy and kind of tight and he doesn't really... put him next to Donald Trump now in your mind.

02:33:12.000 Yes, that's what I was thinking.

02:33:14.000 Ron DeSantis, he will look like Mike Pence before you know it if he doesn't change what he's doing.

02:33:18.000 DeSantis tonight would not fare well against Donald Trump in a debate.

02:33:22.000 Vivek probably would if he didn't have to balance kind of trying to court the pro-Trump audience, but I do think that DeSantis really would have a tough time going up directly against Donald Trump.

02:33:31.000 Yeah, and so according to our website poll, actually this just in from Brodigan, 74% of you think that Vivek Ramaswamy won the debate.

02:33:41.000 I think he did the best out of all of us.

02:33:42.000 What poll was that, Gerald?

02:33:43.000 On our website.

02:33:44.000 Our own website poll.

02:33:45.000 Check on my website.

02:33:49.000 We had Ralph Nader in the landslide.

02:33:51.000 I was like, can tumbleweeds vote?

02:33:56.000 I feel like Tim Scott kind of hangs around a little bit.

02:34:00.000 He does.

02:34:01.000 He's a likable guy.

02:34:01.000 I like Tim Scott.

02:34:02.000 He's articulate.

02:34:07.000 What are you, Barack Obama?

02:34:07.000 He's well-spoken.

02:34:08.000 No, not Barack Obama.

02:34:09.000 He didn't show his giant gums tonight.

02:34:11.000 That's a plus.

02:34:12.000 No, I think, I mean, I'm not surprised by Asa Hutchinson.

02:34:16.000 Like, he just seemed like he was a fish out of water.

02:34:18.000 He was one of the first to go.

02:34:19.000 I think he was pulling at 0.8%.

02:34:21.000 That's a 0.8% too much.

02:34:23.000 By the way, it should be noted that there's a plus minus rounding error of 0.8%.

02:34:27.000 Larry Elder would have wiped the floor.

02:34:28.000 He would have done better than friggin' this guy, right? 0.97

02:34:30.000 Absolutely. 0.95

02:34:31.000 And so then, Bergram just, he was a novelty because I didn't know that the vampires were running around.

02:34:37.000 Yeah, CNN's talking about it right now.

02:34:38.000 Let's go to CNN right now and see if they're making the attacks that I thought they probably would.

02:34:42.000 You need to know the difference between good and evil.

02:34:45.000 When you look at the situation with Russia and Ukraine, here you have a pro-American 0.99

02:34:49.000 country that was invaded by a thug.

02:34:52.000 So when you want to talk about what has been given to Ukraine, less than three and a half

02:34:56.000 percent of our...

02:34:58.000 The first time they've ever given anything.

02:35:01.000 Right.

02:35:01.000 And they're close.

02:35:02.000 I know, but what I'm saying is they haven't paid into NATO, so of course they have the money for Ukraine.

02:35:09.000 They have the money for virtue signaling.

02:35:11.000 Right. And they're close.

02:35:13.000 NATO, this is too...

02:35:15.000 I know, but what I'm saying is they haven't paid into NATO, so of course they have the money for Ukraine.

02:35:18.000 They have a little money left over.

02:35:19.000 They have the money for virtue signaling.

02:35:20.000 And they're right next door.

02:35:22.000 Cough it up.

02:35:24.000 Our friends?

02:35:25.000 Ukraine is not our friend, just to be clear. 0.99

02:35:30.000 Neither is Russia, but Ukraine is not our friend. 1.00

02:35:31.000 Maybe.

02:35:31.000 The Baltics are next. That's a world war. We're trying to prevent war. Look at what Putin did today. He killed Pergoza

02:35:38.000 when I was in the UN By the way, I was going to say that was a pretty bold claim

02:35:43.000 to make out there emphatically that uh, Putin killed Pergoza because of the the plane crash. No, that was

02:35:50.000 definitely a fault the uh, muffler. Yeah Happens all the time

02:35:54.000 He also went down with a brother, Scott Brown, so it's really strange.

02:35:58.000 What happened?

02:35:58.000 your career on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon.

02:36:17.000 I think you said something about, like, you'll enjoy your new position on the board of, like, Lahey.

02:36:21.000 Yes!

02:36:22.000 She's a Warhawk! 1.00

02:36:23.000 She's like, the Balkans are next! 1.00

02:36:25.000 That's right!

02:36:26.000 Like, we've talked about the potential for that, but... Okay, let's hear what Anderson... She slept with Bill Kristol. 1.00

02:36:31.000 Nikki Haley's whole mantra is, I don't back down to bullies.

02:36:35.000 And she had to show that in that moment.

02:36:37.000 Because she's a strong woman.

02:36:38.000 That she could come back.

02:36:40.000 So tired of it.

02:36:41.000 As a woman. 1.00

02:36:42.000 Nick, shut up! 1.00

02:36:43.000 She said as a woman! 1.00

02:36:45.000 Yeah, she's so oppressed. 1.00

02:36:46.000 I can say that as a woman, that's not always the easiest thing to do.

02:36:50.000 As a woman. 1.00

02:36:51.000 Nick, shut up. 1.00

02:36:52.000 She said as a woman. 1.00

02:36:53.000 Yeah, she's so oppressed. 1.00

02:36:54.000 About the policy here that is really an issue for Ramaswamy.

02:36:59.000 I'll take it a red lobster on Thursday.

02:37:01.000 He's putting on the table for me.

02:37:02.000 He's setting the law right now.

02:37:03.000 Even in this sort of America first Republican party, there is not a lot of support for.

02:37:08.000 This idea that she raised about kind of pulling back from support for Israel is not popular among Republican voters.

02:37:16.000 And sometimes it seems like he puts those things on the table just to say, well, I'm going to throw out the idea that no one's going to talk about.

02:37:23.000 But on the debate stage, that's when you get called out for things like that.

02:37:26.000 Trump did this in 16.

02:37:27.000 I mean, we went, we watched him time and again.

02:37:30.000 What were your talking points, CNN?

02:37:31.000 Be as boring as possible tonight in the post-debate analysis?

02:37:36.000 Scott.

02:37:37.000 No Republican could support.

02:37:38.000 But it, what we learned later was it wasn't about the policy as much as it was about the

02:37:42.000 attention.

02:37:43.000 You know, I mean, for Rob Storm he's saying he's going to hold the mic.

02:37:45.000 What were your talking points, CNN?

02:37:46.000 Be as boring as possible tonight in the post-debate analysis?

02:37:49.000 Nailed it.

02:37:50.000 Like, were those handed out?

02:37:51.000 Any questions?

02:37:52.000 Why are we focusing on Nikki Haley on CNN?

02:37:54.000 Of course.

02:37:54.000 going to reagan's position she's are we focusing on nikki haley on cnf of course

02:37:58.000 because she's a woman who are you know that's why i was a rhetorical is not

02:38:01.000 there's not a winning position with the base of the party right now when i was

02:38:04.000 out in iowa i was struck by so many people are here on the other side so

02:38:08.000 much about putin it's not about ideology it's not even about america's leadership

02:38:11.000 in the world it's that they feel that they're getting screwed by washington

02:38:15.000 and yet washington keep sending money to other places not that good point that's

02:38:18.000 what it's about it's like we have been ignored and we keep sending our money in other places.

02:38:24.000 So she's trying to have an American leadership in the world against the communists, against the murder, against the thug, on the fact she's right.

02:38:31.000 But it rings hollow with a lot of Republican voters who just think, you're another politician.

02:38:35.000 What about my community?

02:38:37.000 The song that I referenced at the beginning of this, I said this when this debate started, I said, remember the first reference to rich men north of Richmond is going to take place.

02:38:46.000 And I didn't realize that Fox was going to raise it.

02:38:47.000 But the point John's making, By the way, we are going to have Patrick Bet-David on the show.

02:38:53.000 Some of you may know him as Mr. Valuetainment.

02:38:55.000 I call him Patrick Bet-David.

02:38:56.000 He's going to be on the show in a little bit.

02:38:58.000 What do you think he's going to say about this debate?

02:39:00.000 I bet you he's going to go, OK, look.

02:39:03.000 My men.

02:39:05.000 Let me put it to you this way, okay?

02:39:07.000 So tonight, right, we have a problem, we have a debate, okay?

02:39:11.000 And then people are saying, okay, right, look, let me put it to you that way. 0.99

02:39:14.000 Now, maybe, okay, alright, maybe we want to look at Nikki Haley, or maybe some people are going to say she's a shrill bitch, right? 0.99

02:39:23.000 Well, then they might say, hold on a second, they might say, okay, Ramaswamy, point his finger a lot, right? 0.98

02:39:28.000 But does that guy, Patrick Bet-David, if I'm trying to solve the problem, okay, have big biceps, right?

02:39:36.000 Okay.

02:39:36.000 Or does Patrick Bet-David have the biggest biceps?

02:39:39.000 Let me put it to you that way.

02:39:40.000 I'm going to put it to a poll to the audience.

02:39:42.000 We'll get back to it.

02:39:42.000 I'm going to go back with RFK Jr., okay?

02:39:45.000 I don't know what he's going to say.

02:39:46.000 So look, we do have an interesting question from... By the way, before people get back, he's probably my favorite podcaster out there, outside of this show.

02:39:53.000 Who is he?

02:39:53.000 Is he a black guy?

02:39:54.000 No, he's a Syrian.

02:39:55.000 He's Iranian.

02:39:56.000 He's like a multi-millionaire with a very successful... Great, great guy.

02:40:00.000 We had the opportunity to meet him down in Florida in March.

02:40:03.000 Spent some great time with him.

02:40:04.000 And he's a podcaster?

02:40:05.000 And he's a conservative businessman.

02:40:07.000 No, no, he lives in Florida.

02:40:08.000 First and foremost, he is a businessman, which is the most important part of it.

02:40:13.000 But we actually had a question on there.

02:40:14.000 Do you think that Vivek, and this isn't just a question from our audience, this is actually a question that was posed online that we think maybe we should address a little bit.

02:40:21.000 Do you think he's more of like the star of the party right now?

02:40:25.000 And he won't really last?

02:40:27.000 My gut says that's probably the case.

02:40:29.000 You think?

02:40:30.000 I don't.

02:40:31.000 I think he's got a lot of substance.

02:40:32.000 Stephen, why do you think that's your gut?

02:40:35.000 Here's what I think.

02:40:39.000 It's like Michael Keaton in Night Shift.

02:40:41.000 He's an idea man.

02:40:42.000 For the first time, he's really going to have to defend them.

02:40:45.000 Here's what happens.

02:40:45.000 For example, he may be better Ramos-Flambe at defending them than Ron DeSantis or

02:40:50.000 certainly than Hutchinson, right?

02:40:52.000 But he's going to have to defend them to a different degree than anyone else because he's been a breakout star

02:40:57.000 So the attacks that are going to come are not going to be Proportional with the level of defense that he's been

02:41:02.000 forced to sort of mount in the past. He's no longer the underdog

02:41:05.000 Yeah, he's no longer the underdog and that really is difficult to navigate

02:41:09.000 That's why these people, they end up feeling overwhelmed, and they end up hiring the old GOP advisors.

02:41:13.000 Now, he's painted himself into a good one, where he cannot bring those people in.

02:41:17.000 I'm not saying he won't.

02:41:19.000 I'm just saying that I think a lot of people, I've seen this in the past, where people don't sort of foresee the potential pitfalls that come with being thrust into a national spotlight, and I'm hoping that he rises to the occasion, and he very well could, but I could see it going either way.

02:41:35.000 I don't.

02:41:35.000 I think he's well-equipped.

02:41:37.000 And especially after watching the schmucks he's up against. 0.99

02:41:39.000 I know. 0.99

02:41:40.000 And I think he has been having to defend his positions for the last couple of weeks.

02:41:47.000 It's kind of the media's darling right now.

02:41:50.000 For a reason, though.

02:41:51.000 I really think he's got substance.

02:41:56.000 And the diversity thing doesn't hurt.

02:41:59.000 I'm serious!

02:42:00.000 Whatever do you mean, Nick?

02:42:02.000 No, you know what I mean.

02:42:03.000 Look, you saw what his competition is.

02:42:06.000 And the fact, if we lived in a perfect world, even a normal world, the fact that everybody in this country can't look at what we've been watching in the White House for the last three and a half years and go, you know what? 1.00

02:42:18.000 Not only does Biden suck, the Democratic Party Fuckin' suck. 1.00

02:42:22.000 I know that'll never happen. 1.00

02:42:24.000 They're evil.

02:42:24.000 It's an evil party.

02:42:26.000 And I gotta believe there's a lot more people that are feeling that way than we know.

02:42:29.000 I'm hoping.

02:42:30.000 Maybe I'm having a dream here.

02:42:32.000 And we need a young guy like Vivek.

02:42:34.000 I was about to say.

02:42:35.000 So I think what he brings to the table is a very Trump quality in that he is a very clear communicator.

02:42:41.000 He can answer off the cuff.

02:42:43.000 Some of the video footage that we actually showed earlier showed him.

02:42:46.000 Can I pause you just really quickly?

02:42:47.000 Just so you know, when people are saying, oh, they thought the odds maker said that DeSantis won, have you noticed that CNN's Chiron has not switched from Ramaswamy at all since the debate?

02:42:57.000 That tells you who they know is most dangerous to them.

02:43:00.000 Absolutely.

02:43:01.000 The entire post-debate roundup has been Ramaswamy until they went to... They just changed it as soon as you said it.

02:43:06.000 They just said it?

02:43:07.000 Ah, nice, yes.

02:43:08.000 But they still have him on the screen, so exactly.

02:43:10.000 So sorry, go ahead, Gerald.

02:43:10.000 But I think that's great to have the name Fox News on their air.

02:43:13.000 That's fantastic.

02:43:14.000 I love that for them.

02:43:15.000 No, I do think that there is something to what you're saying, Stephen, though, that he is no longer kind of the underdog.

02:43:21.000 He's no longer the guy that's just kind of the outsider coming in.

02:43:23.000 All of a sudden, all of the attention will be focused on him.

02:43:26.000 DeSantis, I think, in some ways likes this because the other candidates have to punch at Vivek.

02:43:33.000 My theory is this.

02:43:35.000 The people that are voting for Donald Trump are voting for Donald Trump.

02:43:37.000 Period.

02:43:37.000 You're not going to change their minds.

02:43:38.000 All of the other votes that are up for grabs are either going to go to DeSantis or Vivek or some combination thereof and maybe somebody else is going to hang around for a little while.

02:43:47.000 DeSantis needs Vivek to be defeated.

02:43:49.000 Whether it's from him or everybody else ganging up on him, he doesn't really care because he wants all of those votes to go to him so that he'll be the last man standing in challenging Donald Trump and maybe some way, somehow, he can overpower him.

02:44:00.000 I don't see that happening.

02:44:02.000 Vivek's gonna stay around.

02:44:03.000 He's got his own money, he's got a ton of support, he's got a lot of young, Very engaged people, which is kind of hard to do, and he's got a ton of free media.

02:44:12.000 If that changes, if CNN stops inviting him on, if Fox runs away from him and goes somewhere else, he'll figure something out, but it'll get a lot harder really quickly.

02:44:22.000 He'll get his buddies at tech support to hack it.

02:44:23.000 Yeah, something like that.

02:44:25.000 Seriously.

02:44:25.000 You gotta play dirty.

02:44:26.000 You gotta play dirty.

02:44:27.000 Hello RNC, this is Sprint.

02:44:31.000 The one thing DeSantis has over Vivek is, like you said, great governor.

02:44:37.000 He has done this stuff.

02:44:39.000 He's not just bringing it up.

02:44:40.000 And there's a reason people fleeing from California, New York, and these blue cities we make fun of.

02:44:45.000 I agree.

02:44:46.000 So if people will sit there long enough for you to tell them that he's a great governor and understand the nuance of that... Yeah, he needs to punch in a little faster.

02:44:53.000 Exactly.

02:44:54.000 It doesn't matter what the truth is.

02:44:54.000 Right?

02:44:56.000 It matters what you can convince people in a short period of time.

02:44:58.000 Well, that's true.

02:44:59.000 It's more about optics. 0.99

02:45:01.000 But, you know, he did can his campaign manager who sucked. 0.98

02:45:03.000 I don't even know who it was. 0.97

02:45:04.000 No, that's true.

02:45:06.000 I tell you what though, it's really simple.

02:45:08.000 These candidates all need to understand that this campaign needs to be all gas and no brakes, period.

02:45:13.000 That's right.

02:45:14.000 And I don't understand why they aren't all doing that.

02:45:14.000 That's it.

02:45:17.000 Look, of course, Hutchinson is sitting down with Dana Bash.

02:45:19.000 Naturally!

02:45:21.000 Now, by the way, I'm sure we could have gotten him to sit down, but we don't want him at the Rumble booth.

02:45:25.000 Really quickly, before we go to that, before we have Patrick Bet-David on and we'll see the candidates who we have on here in a little bit, I'm hearing now that we actually do have our on-the-ground correspondent, Finnegan, who is there again in Milwaukee right now, who finally tracked down some folks.

02:45:36.000 Folks, let's go. 1.00

02:45:37.000 All right.

02:45:38.000 All right, Finnegan, you took some chances.

02:45:47.000 Let's see how it paid off, brother.

02:45:49.000 Not well, Steven.

02:45:50.000 Not well.

02:45:52.000 Apparently security's pretty tight.

02:45:54.000 So you got, you have nothing going on?

02:45:57.000 Well, I got this lapel pin of the American flag and they took it and my microphone.

02:46:05.000 Oh boy.

02:46:07.000 It's kind of par for the course for you, isn't it?

02:46:09.000 Basically. Basically.

02:46:12.000 Well, only four more years until that retainer is not obligatory.

02:46:24.000 I know, you know, I should have just stayed up there instead of, I don't know.

02:46:27.000 And Nick DiPaolo, Nick Dipp, you can go watch him on Mug Club Monday through Thursday 5pm or September 15th, go see him at Rob's Comedy Playhouse in Buffalo, New York.

02:46:36.000 Look, two nights after the hilarities in Cleveland.

02:46:39.000 Oh, are you?

02:46:40.000 Is it the two nights after that?

02:46:41.000 I thought it was the following weekend.

02:46:43.000 Nickdip.com.

02:46:44.000 I think it's tonight's outfit.

02:46:47.000 Go check out all his dates at Nickdip.com.

02:46:50.000 I can't plug it here.

02:46:52.000 No, no, no, we understand, yeah.

02:46:53.000 Alright, so do we want to watch some more of the Tucker clips with Donald Trump or is it just kind of people are saying there's a little bit of a flop?

02:47:00.000 There's not much going on, man.

02:47:01.000 The only thing there was there was a clip about the indictments being BS that maybe had a little humor to them.

02:47:07.000 So if you want to watch that really quickly, I know we're working on the the connection with Rumble right now to make sure we're good to go outside the booth with Patrick.

02:47:14.000 Okay.

02:47:14.000 So if we want to do that really quick.

02:47:16.000 Well, I do think this goes back to kind of... indictments, I think is the the name.

02:47:19.000 Our predictions were pretty much spot-on, honestly, as far as what we expected tonight.

02:47:24.000 Actually, the surprise for me was Christie didn't go harder after Trump.

02:47:28.000 I figured he was just gonna go... I think he did it for a moment and saw the audience reaction.

02:47:32.000 That's what I think.

02:47:32.000 Yeah.

02:47:33.000 Which I give him credit for. 0.92

02:47:35.000 I think he's a big puss but he stuck to his eclairs and he put up a good fight. 0.96

02:47:47.000 In the back of my head, when we're doing all this stuff, maybe I've grown too cynical. 0.96

02:47:53.000 I feel like I'm participating in a game.

02:47:56.000 I'm sorry, the last election really hit a number on my hard drive, and I just feel like this is all a big script and a show, we're part of it, until the Dems try to steal another.

02:48:05.000 I think that the margin has to be so significant, and we do need to definitely.

02:48:09.000 I mean look, that's why we fight back with the tools that we have.

02:48:13.000 For example, we talk about Mug Club, but there's a reason that we tell everyone, by the way,

02:48:16.000 to head over from YouTube to Rumble.

02:48:18.000 Because if you just look at the Hunter Biden story, we've talked about this, that last

02:48:21.000 election, all of the interference allegedly, wouldn't have made enough of a difference.

02:48:26.000 And so what we can't do is install governors who need to do their job as it sort of relates

02:48:30.000 to...

02:48:31.000 Wouldn't it have made enough of a difference?

02:48:33.000 In other words, all the election interference wouldn't have been able to save it for them if people just knew about the Hunter Biden laptop story and the corruption.

02:48:40.000 We know that there would have been enough votes that would have switched that they could not, that would have been insurmountable.

02:48:44.000 So that's a multi-pronged approach with the media.

02:48:47.000 And unfortunately, like we've talked about tonight, we see the candidates who are GOP donor class puppets.

02:48:52.000 And a lot of people in, unfortunately, the right-wing media follow suit.

02:48:56.000 And so you look at a lot of the same talking points.

02:48:58.000 I expect you'll see a lot of the candidates making the rounds on a lot of these shows issuing the same talking points.

02:49:03.000 So it's a multi-pronged approach.

02:49:04.000 We need to fight back on the big media.

02:49:07.000 Big media, big tech, right?

02:49:08.000 I always call it the entertainment media, big tech, industrial complex.

02:49:13.000 Then there needs to be, on a state level, there needs to be at least adhering to your state constitution, certainly governors making sure things like voter ID, and really sunlight being a disinfectant.

02:49:22.000 But what we can do is certainly fight back with independent media.

02:49:25.000 That's the first step.

02:49:26.000 That's the vanguard, and you guys can support it.

02:49:28.000 If you think that we do enough at mugclub.com, you get $10 off.

02:49:33.000 And if not, hey, then don't support us.

02:49:34.000 We need to do better.

02:49:36.000 When you say right-wing media, other than Fox, who are you talking about?

02:49:41.000 Unfortunately, right-wing media, and I've talked about this quite a bit in the past, is dominated by a lot of non-profit influence.

02:49:47.000 And so the problem with non-profit influence is that it means you have donors.

02:49:50.000 And it means that those donors get to dictate content.

02:49:53.000 And a lot of these for-profit businesses, by the way, like the biggest media companies online that exist in the conservative sphere, also have huge non-profit sectors and there's a lot of funging of the funds.

02:50:03.000 So what are they, when you say dictating content, where?

02:50:06.000 On what platforms, or what?

02:50:08.000 Well, we don't necessarily need to name names, but I'm pretty sure people can guess.

02:50:10.000 Take the top five, yes, that's the answer.

02:50:13.000 I can't guess, that's why I'm asking.

02:50:14.000 I mean, Nick, quite literally billions of dollars in non-profit, right?

02:50:18.000 It's a 501c3 or a 501c4, these are not businesses, and so unfortunately, when you are beholden, look, that's why we have the investigative journalism unit, the people we have here are going, we're thrilled, they're going, wait, we don't You just have to oust a congressman?

02:50:29.000 No, no.

02:50:30.000 Whatever it is that you think is most important.

02:50:32.000 When you have a donor, it's this.

02:50:34.000 It's, okay, I'm going to give you ten mil- uh-uh-uh!

02:50:38.000 He forgot to say the magic word.

02:50:39.000 And that's when people often wonder why are conservatives so far behind often on the cultural fight.

02:50:44.000 That's why.

02:50:45.000 Because for the left, as ironic as all this is, they largely are propelled by for-profit industries.

02:50:51.000 With the media, with the entertainment industry, with big tech.

02:50:54.000 That's why there's the CNN and MSNBC and all that?

02:50:57.000 Outnumbering, and we got Fox?

02:50:59.000 Well, Fox is the only one, but then if you look online, right, again, you can't fight back when you have donors dictating what it is that you can and cannot say, and we see that a lot, unfortunately.

02:51:10.000 But that's our media.

02:51:11.000 It's not just the political issue.

02:51:14.000 It's the media industry on the right.

02:51:15.000 It's the advertising connection, too.

02:51:17.000 That's why you have to decouple from advertisers as your model.

02:51:20.000 Elon Musk even said that.

02:51:21.000 He's done a lot of things I don't agree with since saying that by hiring the CEO he hired.

02:51:25.000 And other things.

02:51:26.000 But that's the thing you have to do, because if companies go, that's not safe.

02:51:29.000 That's not a safe thing for us to say.

02:51:31.000 We don't want to advertise there.

02:51:32.000 All of a sudden, dollars get pulled out of it.

02:51:34.000 Yeah.

02:51:35.000 Well, to give you an idea, let's just say one, two, let alone three of her Chris Christie jokes, which by the way, were superb.

02:51:41.000 Perfect.

02:51:42.000 The fat jokes.

02:51:42.000 I'm a child.

02:51:43.000 I still think they're funny.

02:51:44.000 There's not a single other conservative media entity who would have allowed that.

02:51:48.000 Not one.

02:51:49.000 It wouldn't be allowed.

02:51:50.000 There are enough people out there who enjoy having a laugh and enjoy different kinds of content, but that's the problem with having a donor class dictating not only the candidates, but the media.

02:51:50.000 And guess what?

02:51:59.000 And we're able to call balls and strikes, and it also makes it more challenging.

02:52:02.000 Why would they think like that when the average American is like us and howling?

02:52:06.000 The average American isn't the donor, yeah.

02:52:08.000 Patrick Bet-David is ready for us to give us a little post-debate.

02:52:12.000 Alright, so look, let's go to my main man, okay?

02:52:14.000 Very excited, let me put it to you that way.

02:52:16.000 Patrick Bet-David.

02:52:17.000 Mr. David, can you hear me, sir?

02:52:19.000 Can you see me?

02:52:19.000 Can you hear me?

02:52:21.000 I can't.

02:52:21.000 Can you hear me?

02:52:22.000 I can't hear you yet.

02:52:22.000 Hold on a second.

02:52:23.000 One second.

02:52:24.000 Okay, good.

02:52:25.000 Let me hear you there.

02:52:26.000 Can you hear me?

02:52:27.000 Can you hear me now?

02:52:28.000 Oh boy.

02:52:29.000 One second.

02:52:30.000 This is a little... Oh, perfect.

02:52:32.000 I can hear you now, sir.

02:52:34.000 Look at you.

02:52:34.000 You're looking tan, but you always look tan.

02:52:36.000 Alright, let me ask you, Mr. David.

02:52:39.000 What did you think of the debates tonight?

02:52:41.000 Who came out the big winner?

02:52:43.000 We had our predictions, but I don't want to lead the witness here.

02:52:47.000 I think I know what you're probably going to say.

02:52:50.000 Yes, and by the way, I don't know what the media is saying, so whatever I say to you is purely fresh out of being in there watching what happened, how the audience was reacting.

02:53:01.000 I thought Vivek had a great turnout in multiple areas.

02:53:06.000 I think I give him an 8.5 is what I give him.

02:53:09.000 He could have had a higher score, but I think Nikki Haley, when it came down to foreign policy, Had a bit of an edge now remember guys

02:53:16.000 This is not about who you like or who we like and who's your guy and who's that person's birth?

02:53:20.000 You know who you're rooting for I thought Nikki had multiple good moments and quite frankly a lot of people in

02:53:25.000 the audience Were reacting to her very oh come on now

02:53:29.000 Not she was not on my list of anybody that was gonna react like

02:53:34.000 I thought Tim Scott was a little bit flat.

02:53:36.000 I thought he said the right things.

02:53:37.000 I thought he was likable.

02:53:39.000 I thought he looked like somebody that would make a good VP.

02:53:42.000 I didn't see that as a person that would be a good number one.

02:53:45.000 I thought Mike Pence was very aggressive.

02:53:48.000 Uh, that doesn't mean it was good aggressive, but I thought he was aggressive, and he was trying to impose himself out there, and you kind of have to see a couple times he had to be stopped.

02:53:57.000 Uh, who else?

02:53:57.000 DeSantis, I thought he hit his scripts very well.

02:54:00.000 If there was six scripts and eight lines that DeSantis had to hit, I think he hit 100% of them.

02:54:07.000 And I was watching very closely when the breaks would happen, who would talk to who.

02:54:12.000 During the breaks, DeSantis and Christie would speak a lot, and if you notice, DeSantis If we were to count how many shots he took at Trump, I don't know how many times he took shots at Trump, maybe even zero, but you heard Christie do it.

02:54:24.000 So Christie was a mouthpiece to say the things that maybe DeSantis wanted to say about Trump, but he didn't have to say it.

02:54:31.000 So strategically, I thought it was a very good strategy.

02:54:34.000 And by the way, frankly, I don't have an opinion on them.

02:54:38.000 Well Pat, yeah, no one does either.

02:54:39.000 You're the Bela Lugosi look-alike, Burgum.

02:54:41.000 But you're so congenial, by the way, and this is why I think you get all of these guests who come on and don't realize what a, and I mean this in a good way, like what a sniper you are and how surgical you are.

02:54:50.000 You just said like, you know, I think that if he had six scripts, he hit all of them.

02:54:54.000 That is a way to say, a little bit, in a friendly way, in a respectful way, that DeSantis obviously has to go with talking points a little more.

02:55:01.000 And I do think that's an interesting dynamic that only you could provide insight, you know, here for the audience.

02:55:05.000 If he was talking a lot with Christie, that does seem like there's a little bit of a double-cross maybe, right?

02:55:09.000 I get to be good cop, you get to play bad cop.

02:55:12.000 You think that's what was going on a little bit with DeSantis and Christie?

02:55:16.000 I think we're naive to think people are not doing that.

02:55:19.000 I think we're naive to think Nikki Haley and Mike Pence don't have a partnership going on, where they had a moment to show that they disagree, but it was something they disagreed on that wasn't really important, but they agreed on the bigger issues.

02:55:32.000 So I saw some kind of a connection between them two.

02:55:36.000 But yeah, look, I mean, it's strategic.

02:55:37.000 Vivek, obviously, if you were to say, close your eyes and say, who was Trump.

02:55:43.000 Was Trump in the debate tonight?

02:55:45.000 You would say absolutely.

02:55:46.000 How?

02:55:47.000 Through Vivek.

02:55:48.000 So these are strategies that they're playing and for us to try to just pin it that DeSantis is playing that strategy with Christie, it's naive.

02:55:56.000 Everyone's playing it.

02:55:57.000 Yeah, I think that's a very good point and it actually provides some insight that we couldn't have.

02:56:00.000 I think Gerald has a question for you.

02:56:02.000 Piggyback off of that, so it looked like Christie went after Vivek a little bit more than I expected.

02:56:07.000 I figured that Christie was going to go after Trump, but Vivek is the real problem for DeSantis, in my opinion.

02:56:14.000 If he stays around, he steals votes from DeSantis.

02:56:17.000 The people would go to him.

02:56:17.000 Is that what you're saying?

02:56:19.000 Do you think that that was actually the target was not just Trump, but Vivek with Christie?

02:56:25.000 If you notice, there was a part where Mike Pence took a shot at Vivek about the script.

02:56:30.000 Hey, slow down, slow down.

02:56:31.000 Like trying to say you're a fast talking salesperson, you know, and then, you know, Pence had a line that got a reaction.

02:56:39.000 He says, look, we need to kind of not not not vote for someone that's going to be too old or too young.

02:56:44.000 Obviously, the too old.

02:56:46.000 He's talking Biden and Trump and too young.

02:56:48.000 He's talking about Vivek.

02:56:50.000 But I think America's maybe at a point where You know, they don't want a Pence and, you know, Vivek flat out called everybody.

02:56:57.000 These are, you know, super packed puppets.

02:56:59.000 Those comments that he made and I mean, he did not hold back.

02:57:02.000 So I wouldn't be surprised if Pence was not happy with Vivek, but I thought Vivek Did exactly what those who are pro-Trump would have wanted him to do.

02:57:12.000 So again, even though Trump wasn't there, he was in spirit through Vivek.

02:57:17.000 That's exactly right.

02:57:18.000 When it was happening, we were watching this live and streaming it, and I said, you know,

02:57:21.000 if you were just to change it, if you were to say, if you were to read this from a script,

02:57:24.000 what Vivek just said, and say Donald Trump said this, you would read it and go, and do

02:57:27.000 you what?

02:57:27.000 Do you what?

02:57:28.000 Do you what?

02:57:29.000 A super PAC puppet!

02:57:31.000 That's the choice!

02:57:32.000 That is quite literally exactly something.

02:57:35.000 And I wonder if he's positioning himself, do you think, with someone like Vivek, who maybe doesn't have a ton of experience?

02:57:40.000 We've often asked who would be the VP candidate for Trump.

02:57:43.000 Obviously, Carrie Lake would be up there. 1.00

02:57:44.000 It seems like a lot of people aren't necessarily willing to take the risk.

02:57:47.000 You think Vivek is more likely to be sort of tapped for that VP spot or certainly a cabinet spot after tonight than maybe going for the presidency?

02:57:56.000 I have a very hard time with that because when you have an alpha personality like Trump, you cannot have an alpha as a VP.

02:58:04.000 It's just not going to work out.

02:58:04.000 You just can't.

02:58:05.000 When you're running a company, typically, if the CEO is alpha, the number two has to be a little bit of a guy that knows how to privately call you out, but publicly hold you up.

02:58:17.000 And I don't know if Vivek as a founder, CEO, driver, who's built multi-billion dollar companies,

02:58:24.000 in his mind, he probably sees himself as an equal to Trump because he thinks he did it

02:58:29.000 on his own.

02:58:30.000 So even on the inside, Vivek's a pretty confident guy.

02:58:33.000 Here's a guy that came from a mom and dad that came here two years before he was born.

02:58:37.000 So, yeah, I don't know.

02:58:39.000 I don't know if I see him as a VP.

02:58:41.000 I think the types of people that Trump would want as a VP, if you want to look at everybody on that stage, 100% loyalty is important to him.

02:58:52.000 We were just with Kerry a few minutes ago.

02:58:53.000 Kerry's somewhere around here.

02:58:55.000 Number one is loyalty.

02:58:56.000 Kerry's super loyal.

02:58:57.000 He values that a lot.

02:58:59.000 And number two, it's somebody that's not going to outshine him.

02:59:02.000 And I think Tim Scott is a great candidate as a VP because he's just not going to outshine him.

02:59:08.000 Yeah.

02:59:09.000 I would hope that's not the case and you have the best person for the job, but I do understand that those dynamics need to be taken into play.

02:59:15.000 Were you about to ask something?

02:59:16.000 I was just going to say... This is Nick DiPaolo here.

02:59:18.000 I just learned so much.

02:59:21.000 I really didn't know about those games.

02:59:23.000 Them speaking, you know, DeSantis and Christie. 0.98

02:59:27.000 Patrick McDavid is a killer.

02:59:28.000 Brilliant observations that I had never heard. 0.69

02:59:33.000 But I was thinking of a Vec. 0.88

02:59:35.000 uh... was playing it look i know i'm not gonna be the president

02:59:38.000 i'd i'd i see plan is maybe chief of staff something like that and and and trump's gonna be if trump's

02:59:44.000 around is gonna be done in four years yeah i i seem to get a

02:59:47.000 prominent role there but again i think i think i think i think i think that all

02:59:51.000 those people on stage unlike pens was the guy who trump shows as the p last time

02:59:55.000 in uh...

02:59:56.000 but i know that i had a nice i think that you've been in in his administration

03:00:00.000 Wouldn't he have been afraid of him?

03:00:01.000 I know he's loyal to a fault.

03:00:04.000 Maybe that's a little bit different because he kind of had to do his thing.

03:00:06.000 But I just learned so much.

03:00:07.000 I never knew games like that were being played. 0.99

03:00:09.000 Yeah, and I do think that Mike Pence tonight absolutely sucked. 0.51

03:00:12.000 I know that Patrick can't say that because again he gets all the people actually they'll go on his show and rightfully so. 0.54

03:00:18.000 Let me speak for him like Vivek and DeFantis did.

03:00:21.000 I have another question for you.

03:00:22.000 So outside of Kerry Lake and anybody that was on that debate stage tonight, do you see another clear choice for Vice President?

03:00:32.000 I'm a fan of Christine Noem.

03:00:34.000 I'm a fan of, again, look.

03:00:38.000 Again, think about the Alpha as a person you know in your life that operates and leads a company or runs a team, okay?

03:00:47.000 Whoever that Alpha is, number two cannot be an Alpha.

03:00:51.000 Your ambition cannot be to outshine the Alpha.

03:00:55.000 It's just not going to work with a personality.

03:00:58.000 So, you've got to take the person with a lot of ambitions of one day I would like to be, etc.

03:01:05.000 So that's not going to work out with Vivek, because Vivek is very ambitious, and he is very confident, and he is very driven, and he is very hardworking, and he believes in himself, and he knows how to sell the dream, he knows how to sell the nightmare, he knows how to relate to you, he knows how to rally and fire the audience up.

03:01:25.000 Every time he got up and spoke, the people were just energized.

03:01:29.000 When this guy speaks, and Americans want something like that right now because it's been a little bit of a fear, nightmare, doom and gloom type of America we've been living in for the last three, four years with way too much animosity and tension and, you know, all of this.

03:01:42.000 So, I don't know.

03:01:44.000 I don't see that part, but I think there's going to be... Keep this in mind with President Trump.

03:01:49.000 He is a very unpredictable yet predictable leader.

03:01:52.000 Okay?

03:01:53.000 Predictable in the areas that he's very predictably values loyalty.

03:01:58.000 Okay?

03:01:59.000 He's predictable in the area of wanting someone that is, you know, not going to want to outshine him.

03:01:59.000 Right.

03:02:05.000 But he's unpredictable that he's going to probably end up picking somebody no one is thinking about, just like he picked Pence.

03:02:11.000 That's also very likely of happening.

03:02:13.000 Stormy Daniels.

03:02:15.000 Well, he's playing pickleball with her right now.

03:02:17.000 So, look, I know that you are busy.

03:02:18.000 I mean, not that you need it, but where's the best place for people to find you, support you?

03:02:23.000 Because I always tell them, look, if you're going to pick the top three people out there doing programs right now, Patrick Bet-David is one of them.

03:02:29.000 Where's the best place for people to find you, Patrick?

03:02:32.000 You just type Patrick Bet-David.

03:02:33.000 You can find us on all socials, Patrick Bet-David.

03:02:36.000 We have a podcast called PBD Podcast that we cover a bunch of different things from politics and business.

03:02:41.000 You can find us everywhere.

03:02:42.000 See, that was a very friendly way of him saying, look, let me put it to you this way. 0.99

03:02:46.000 Google me, bitch. 1.00

03:02:47.000 That's what he just said to me. 1.00

03:02:49.000 And I look like an idiot. 0.99

03:02:51.000 Patrick Bet-David, thank you for taking time, brother. 0.99

03:02:53.000 Oh man, thank you.

03:02:54.000 Take care, guys.

03:02:54.000 Thank you.

03:02:55.000 Thanks, be well.

03:02:56.000 By the way, Nick was laughing because you never heard him before and I guess it was probably the impression once you heard his voice.

03:03:02.000 Yeah, you were dead on with that.

03:03:03.000 No, it's spot on.

03:03:04.000 Great, great, great guy.

03:03:05.000 But did he say, I'm really asking, because he said P-B-D at the end.

03:03:08.000 P-B-D. 0.99

03:03:09.000 P-B-D, P-B-D.

03:03:09.000 Oh, P-B-D.

03:03:10.000 That's all, folks.

03:03:16.000 That's all folks.

03:03:17.000 I was just thinking how Pence was trying to call Vivek out for his inexperience.

03:03:21.000 The thing is, let me put it to you that way. 1.00

03:03:22.000 Mike Pence has a very small penis. 1.00

03:03:23.000 But Vivek is an alpha. 1.00

03:03:24.000 So the two go together.

03:03:25.000 Let me put it to you that way, okay? 1.00

03:03:26.000 Mike Pence, alright, has a very small penis. 1.00

03:03:29.000 Penis. 1.00

03:03:30.000 Right, that's right. 0.99

03:03:31.000 Okay.

03:03:32.000 But Vivek, right, is an alpha.

03:03:34.000 So the two go together.

03:03:36.000 One's going to be a power bottom, alright, and one's going to be a top.

03:03:40.000 And what are you looking at, Gerald?

03:03:42.000 You look very confused.

03:03:43.000 I'm looking at something.

03:03:44.000 I don't know what language something was just in on my screen.

03:03:46.000 Was it Patrick Bette David writing an older series?

03:03:48.000 Actually, Rumble had three of the top four streams in the world tonight, right?

03:03:53.000 We were the top stream other than the actual just clean GOP debate stream, right?

03:03:58.000 A lot of people for that.

03:03:58.000 That's just on Rumble, not including YouTube and Mug Club members.

03:04:01.000 Yeah, all the other banks that we go off of.

03:04:03.000 So you were a part of, obviously, something very big.

03:04:05.000 Other than...

03:04:06.000 You're saying other than the original stream, like we were the largest thing out there, but there was something that looked like it was Indian.

03:04:14.000 Probably a cricket review, I don't know.

03:04:16.000 Are you saying Rumble was on this show on Rumble?

03:04:18.000 Three of the four largest shows at the time were Rumble shows.

03:04:23.000 Three of the four.

03:04:25.000 And we're number two.

03:04:25.000 Massive.

03:04:26.000 So thank you guys so much, and again, please do consider looking.

03:04:30.000 And here's one thing, I know that we mention it quite a few times tonight because of that promo code, CrowderGOPDebate.

03:04:36.000 It's $10 off. 0.98

03:04:37.000 But hey, would you rather us sell bowling branch bed sheets and quip toothbrushes that then start to turn into a vibrating cock with a rainbow flag? 0.98

03:04:43.000 Wait a minute, what's the matter with that? 0.98

03:04:45.000 I'm just saying, you see those all over the pot?

03:04:46.000 No, quip!

03:04:47.000 Hey, race and control! 1.00

03:04:49.000 Bring that up! 1.00

03:04:50.000 Bring that shit up! 1.00

03:04:51.000 Quip toothbrushed in a rainbow toothbrush that looked like a rainbow vibrator, and every single conservative was selling that shit. 1.00

03:04:58.000 Don't you condemn me! 1.00

03:04:59.000 Don't you judge me!

03:05:01.000 Okay, Mr. Nasty Show, and you and your stupid Boy Scout FCC sweater vest bullshit! 1.00

03:05:08.000 You ever try to get blood out of a bowl of bread? 1.00

03:05:12.000 We mentioned one thing tonight.

03:05:13.000 Bring it up right now.

03:05:14.000 Bring up the quick toothbrush.

03:05:15.000 No, no, no, the other one.

03:05:16.000 Yeah, that one.

03:05:17.000 No, no, that's much better.

03:05:18.000 The picture is on there.

03:05:19.000 And he drammed me with this kid.

03:05:20.000 The latest picture in honor.

03:05:21.000 Go there.

03:05:22.000 Bring up the quick toothbrush.

03:05:23.000 Do it.

03:05:24.000 Do it.

03:05:25.000 There you go.

03:05:26.000 Boom! 0.99

03:05:27.000 That's vibrating?

03:05:28.000 My point is, we mentioned one thing tonight.

03:05:29.000 There's been one, and it's Mug Club.

03:05:30.000 And that's because of viewers like you have made this the number two stream.

03:05:32.000 And by the way, that doesn't include all of the other numbers out there.

03:05:34.000 So because of you, we're able to send investigative journalists out there.

03:05:39.000 Because of you, we're able to bring the OG like Nick DiPaolo.

03:05:41.000 Because of you, we're launching shows like Brian Callen and like the Hodge twins.

03:05:45.000 And Alex Jones.

03:05:46.000 Predicting the future, by the way.

03:05:48.000 By the way, right now he's doing the show on YouTube.

03:05:52.000 On Friday, but he wants to do the show every single day, and we have animated shows, documentaries.

03:05:57.000 That's entirely because of viewers like you.

03:05:59.000 So would you rather us plug Bullenbranch, and Quip, and Birch Gold, and I'm G. Gordon Liddy, or, you know, well I guess, no, they still run G. Gordon Liddy commercials.

03:06:08.000 They do, yeah.

03:06:09.000 Is he dead?

03:06:10.000 Weird.

03:06:10.000 There's gold in them there ads!

03:06:12.000 Wow, that's too bad.

03:06:12.000 Yeah.

03:06:14.000 Quiet, I want to hear what Mike Axelrod has to say.

03:06:16.000 In a minute, we'll have Jordan Peterson, I believe, will be available to come on and be good to hear what he has to say.

03:06:22.000 He was standing there, but Patrick was going along, so he got pulled away, but he's going to come back in just a minute.

03:06:25.000 Do you think Jordan Peterson said, listen, Patrick, I appreciate, but could you shut the hell up for a moment?

03:06:30.000 Just one moment, please.

03:06:31.000 Listen, my man, Jordan Peterson, look, you're a doctor, okay?

03:06:34.000 But here's the problem.

03:06:35.000 I'm the guy. 0.99

03:06:36.000 Shut the hell up. 0.98

03:06:39.000 No, by the way, isn't it great? 1.00

03:06:40.000 Hey, I don't know if we'll get the candidates because a lot of them are, you know, a lot of them are urinating their little panties. 0.99

03:06:45.000 Not Nikki Haley, of course, because I would never suspect we are.

03:06:47.000 No, her's a huge. 1.00

03:06:48.000 Yeah, everyone other than her.

03:06:49.000 But I have to use a restroom.

03:06:51.000 Do we want to do a quick commercial break as we get Jordan Peterson on the line or figure that out?

03:06:55.000 It'll be a few minutes for Jordan Peterson, but we can do a quick break because these guys are just basically just gas bags on CNN.

03:07:01.000 Yes.

03:07:01.000 So a quick break.

03:07:02.000 Everyone here has to urinate really quickly.

03:07:03.000 We'll come back.

03:07:04.000 Jordan Peterson, most likely, and then we'll see which other candidates are available.

03:07:07.000 And then, of course, we will take your chats go exclusive to Mug Club, Nick DiPaolo, Gerald Morgan.

03:07:12.000 Enjoy this quick commercial break while I relieve myself.

03:07:16.000 Don't get empty, don't get empty, don't get empty, when I'm with you, I'm with you, in all of you.

03:07:25.000 The music is playing.

03:07:59.000 Some people have a deep abiding respect for the constitutional law that created this country.

03:08:08.000 And some people don't. 1.00

03:08:10.000 Fuck it started liberalism. 1.00

03:08:13.000 Muglock can stop it. 1.00

03:08:17.000 And now for the adventures of the White Privilege Boy.

03:08:21.000 All right there now, Timmy.

03:08:27.000 I know you're a teenager, but if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.

03:08:31.000 You can't park your vehicle faced into oncoming traffic.

03:08:34.000 Come on, let's move. 1.00

03:08:35.000 Well, gee, officer, I'm sure sorry.

03:08:38.000 Can I just go back to my car?

03:08:40.000 No, no, I want you to follow my instructions.

03:08:42.000 Either get down on the ground or follow me away from the vehicle.

03:08:44.000 But, officer, can't I just get my PCP?

03:08:48.000 No, well, you know, usually I'd say no, but you can make it quick. 0.98

03:08:52.000 Come on, get on out of here, you white rascal. 1.00

03:08:55.000 Oh, boy! 0.99

03:08:56.000 Oh, those boys!

03:08:57.000 What ticker will they find themselves in next?

03:09:01.000 Stay tuned for next week's installment of Adventures of the White Privilege Boys.

03:09:07.000 Hey, hey.

03:09:08.000 Boo, Pedro! 0.89

03:09:10.000 Not today!

03:09:11.000 You're not sending your best.

03:09:13.000 I'm gonna send you right back.

03:09:15.000 Lookin' over that.

03:09:16.000 Well, let's keep building this wall.

03:09:18.000 Brick by brick.

03:09:18.000 There you go.

03:09:19.000 My wall, frankly, shoots fire.

03:09:22.000 You see?

03:09:23.000 And you're gonna pay for it.

03:09:24.000 pay for it.

03:09:25.000 Baaaaaah.

03:09:26.000 Baaaaaah.

03:09:27.000 Headstreeeeeeeeep. 0.98

03:09:28.000 Hey, guys, in the chat, let me know what you'd like me to put in my boat.

03:09:37.000 I'm thinking alligators and spikes.

03:09:49.000 That is by far, that is by far one of my, there's people running behind me.

03:09:53.000 Oh my gosh!

03:09:54.000 One of my favorite sketches that we've ever done was Trump playing Minecraft building the wall.

03:09:59.000 So good.

03:10:00.000 Oh my god.

03:10:01.000 It was fantastic.

03:10:02.000 So look, I know we've got people that we're working on right now.

03:10:05.000 If you see on like CNN, Fox, everybody right now, there's a spin room, right?

03:10:09.000 So the spin room is basically where they go to do interviews and to talk about what just happened, essentially what we're doing here, what CNN sucks at doing, and what obviously many, many more of you are watching us do this.

03:10:19.000 They actually had a bit of an issue, and I don't know how it got resolved, but apparently Matt Gaetz, Representative Matt Gaetz out of Florida, said that it was resolved.

03:10:27.000 They were not letting any of the Trump surrogates, basically people who are going to go in and kind of represent Donald Trump, like Carrie Lake or anybody- That may have been a miscommunication though.

03:10:36.000 I think it was intentionally miscommunicated, if it was.

03:10:39.000 I think this is Fox being petty.

03:10:41.000 Because Fox is a little pissed off at Tucker, and they're pissed off at Trump, right?

03:10:46.000 And they are basically saying, hey, you know, we're gonna make this a little bit more difficult for you.

03:10:50.000 Donald Trump Jr., you're not welcome.

03:10:51.000 Kimberly Guilfoyle, you're not welcome, right?

03:10:54.000 Things like that are happening.

03:10:55.000 I think they did finally get it sorted out.

03:10:56.000 Maybe they were making a big deal out of it.

03:10:58.000 Maybe that was the whole story to this.

03:11:00.000 But I think what we're seeing right now I don't know how to say this the right way.

03:11:06.000 Bigger than the debate that we just saw, we're witnessing the death of mainstream media.

03:11:10.000 Which also tells you how out of touch these candidates are that they're appearing with Dana Bash on CNN.

03:11:15.000 Every single time it's like, Vivek, get out of the room.

03:11:17.000 Nobody's going to be watching these people.

03:11:19.000 So with Rumble being the sponsor and streaming, you're seeing very, very large numbers of people watching this online.

03:11:25.000 Off of YouTube, by the way.

03:11:26.000 Off of YouTube.

03:11:27.000 Off of Facebook.

03:11:28.000 Off of YouTube and Facebook and some of the biggest players out there.

03:11:31.000 You're seeing people kind of run out of this and go, you know what?

03:11:35.000 You're seeing a moment in time where these people are going to look back and go, this is the death knell.

03:11:41.000 No longer do we control the politics that people want to see.

03:11:41.000 Right?

03:11:44.000 No longer do we control the questions that get asked.

03:11:46.000 Because think about this.

03:11:47.000 If you're somebody who's Bret Baier or Martha McCallum, you have to be careful sometimes the questions you ask because maybe they aren't going to come on your show next week.

03:11:54.000 Maybe they're not going to be happy at the network that you're going to get called, what was it, the second floor?

03:11:58.000 If you ever got called to the second floor, you knew.

03:12:00.000 At Fox News it was the second floor.

03:12:01.000 It was a problem, right?

03:12:02.000 Yeah, that's where you had all the executives.

03:12:03.000 We don't care. 0.99

03:12:04.000 We're not going to be jerks just to be jerks, like the clickbait stuff that people do. 0.98

03:12:07.000 No, you never want to sandbag anyone, but we want to ask the questions that people have. 0.98

03:12:11.000 Exactly.

03:12:12.000 The normal everyday American that has a question like, look, I get it.

03:12:16.000 I was talking with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Congresswoman, she was much nicer.

03:12:20.000 I've never really met her.

03:12:22.000 I just thought she was a little bit fiery in most of the things that I saw.

03:12:25.000 Very nice.

03:12:26.000 She said, look, it's a 10-year problem to fix.

03:12:28.000 You've got to give us the House and the Senate and the White House.

03:12:29.000 I'm like, look, we've done that.

03:12:31.000 Maybe we didn't do it for 10 years, but we gave you that, and we've been burned so many times.

03:12:35.000 Can you promise me that it's going to happen this time?

03:12:37.000 Because I don't want to be left at the altar yet again.

03:12:40.000 How many times have we had Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Dan Crenshaw on and talk about Section 230 and then nothing is actually done?

03:12:48.000 I don't know if you guys have noticed this, but I don't have anything against the guy.

03:12:52.000 Dan Crenshaw, last time he was on, he supported the TAPS Act.

03:12:55.000 Everyone else gave him a softball.

03:12:57.000 And I said, how is that not red flag laws?

03:12:59.000 And I asked him, okay, let me ask you a different way.

03:13:02.000 How are you going to guarantee that the TAPS Act that you're supporting does not turn into red flag type laws where a neighbor can simply, in a disgruntled state, report a neighbor who they don't like and they forfeit their Second Amendment rights?

03:13:13.000 He didn't have an answer.

03:13:14.000 Not saying that Dan Crenshaw is a bad guy, but we asked that question in real time where he was immensely popular.

03:13:19.000 Now, a lot of people have those issues with Representative Crenshaw now.

03:13:22.000 But at the time, it was a question that was important and no one else was willing to ask.

03:13:27.000 We've had these questions for people.

03:13:29.000 We never, by the way, we never aim to be disrespectful to people, of course.

03:13:32.000 This is honestly, people are often surprised when they sit down.

03:13:34.000 We go, look, we matched your intensity.

03:13:36.000 But we're also not going to do the bidding of the donor class.

03:13:39.000 That is a big difference from what we do.

03:13:40.000 If we were doing the bidding of the donor class, you think Nick DiPaolo would be here?

03:13:44.000 Who, by the way, told me he didn't have to go to the bathroom.

03:13:46.000 He said, no, I'm doing alright.

03:13:47.000 And then I come back, he's gone for nine minutes. 0.97

03:13:49.000 I hope you had a hell of a piss, Arnold! 0.99

03:13:51.000 Well, I got a prostate the size of, you know, the Statue of Liberty. 0.99

03:13:54.000 The size of Chris Christie? 0.95

03:13:55.000 Exactly.

03:13:56.000 No, but that's right.

03:13:57.000 So when we had Senator Rubio on, we basically pressed him and said, look, if you don't fix 230, you may not be around.

03:14:05.000 Because maybe they can just lock you out.

03:14:07.000 You won't have a voice.

03:14:08.000 This is the kind of thing that needs to get fixed ASAP.

03:14:11.000 And look, I love, and you can go online, we'll probably put it up for Mug Club, the full interviews that we did.

03:14:16.000 I know we showed some segments of it today.

03:14:18.000 But you can see that full interview and I was just like, look, Ten years?

03:14:22.000 I didn't go full combative.

03:14:23.000 And by the way, you did a good job too, Gerald.

03:14:25.000 Everyone, please, sound off in the chat there that Gerald, you know, Gerald, he's now migrated to this full-time.

03:14:32.000 I mean, you worked here part-time for, I guess, going back to 2015 in some capacity.

03:14:36.000 Seriously?

03:14:37.000 Yeah, and you know what happened?

03:14:39.000 Here's the story.

03:14:40.000 Yeah, here's the story about Gerald.

03:14:40.000 Really?

03:14:41.000 I hope that doesn't happen to me.

03:14:42.000 Oh boy.

03:14:44.000 Do you remember the conversation?

03:14:45.000 So Gerald said, when we were in these contract disputes, and I said, you know, I just, I really want to be independent and kind of break free of these shackles.

03:14:52.000 This was a really earnest moment.

03:14:53.000 And Gerald said, I think you can do it.

03:14:54.000 And I think that if you do it this way, you kind of went through potential, you know, as far as signups and as far as our merch shop, which you can go to CrowderShop.com.

03:15:01.000 He said, you can do it.

03:15:03.000 And I said, I know, but if I do it independently, I need, and you said, you're going to need someone to handle it.

03:15:11.000 Yeah.

03:15:11.000 You're not going to be able to handle that all yourself.

03:15:12.000 And he was that guy.

03:15:13.000 And he was that guy.

03:15:14.000 And he said, alright, let me step in.

03:15:15.000 Yep.

03:15:16.000 And got in the form of Gerald Morgan, who by the way... In the form of a tight end.

03:15:21.000 Yes, yes.

03:15:21.000 Well, to this day... Can I ask you guys a question?

03:15:23.000 Because I know you were discussing 2.30.

03:15:25.000 Can you refresh my memory?

03:15:27.000 I know it has something to do with platforms being immune to... So basically, for example, like Sprint or Verizon, or in your case, Metro PCS.

03:15:37.000 They're regulated as a public utility, right?

03:15:42.000 Meaning that even if you're a neo-Nazi and you're not committing a crime, they can't shut you down, right?

03:15:47.000 That's a different regulation, right?

03:15:48.000 They're afforded certain liberties.

03:15:50.000 In other words, they're not liable for what people are saying across their cell towers.

03:15:56.000 Same thing applies, by the way, to like, for example, the town square.

03:16:00.000 Two-thirty has extended to the digital town square, meaning that places like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, they're not seen as publishers, like the New York Times.com.

03:16:08.000 They're seen as digital town squares, which means they do not editorialize, they do not censor content based on point of view, which affords them...

03:16:15.000 But they benefit from, in other words, you can't sue YouTube.

03:16:18.000 Right.

03:16:18.000 So they're having it both ways.

03:16:19.000 They're having it both ways.

03:16:20.000 And so all I'm saying is the way that you solve it is say, you are either a platform or you are a publisher.

03:16:26.000 And considering that YouTube has removed our content and suspended us four points of view and preemptively said, send us your content so that we can tell you if it's acceptable or not.

03:16:35.000 And they wouldn't, by the way.

03:16:36.000 What?

03:16:37.000 We did it, and they wouldn't.

03:16:38.000 You know the vaccine thing?

03:16:38.000 We were like, hey, can you tell us if this- The vaccine parody, yeah.

03:16:41.000 Shouldn't, but we just want to make sure- Is 230 the movement to stop that?

03:16:44.000 No, 230 is the bill that gives them the protection, but they're abusing it, yes.

03:16:48.000 And who's trying to change that?

03:16:49.000 Well, they all say that they are.

03:16:50.000 Don't tell me Jim Jordan.

03:16:51.000 They all say that they are.

03:16:53.000 He's too busy hitting an ankle pick on- What?

03:16:55.000 They're not trying hard enough.

03:16:57.000 Yeah, they're not doing enough.

03:16:58.000 Well, and here's the problem, too, if you're a conservative media company and you're making quite literally tens of millions of dollars off of YouTube, the easiest path to make money right now, by the way, you guys need to understand this, is make money off of YouTube advertising, Google AdSense, and Facebook Instant Articles.

03:17:13.000 That's the easiest way.

03:17:14.000 You could literally have never created an original piece of content, just copy-paste, hat-tip, and make tens of millions of dollars, and many people out there do.

03:17:23.000 That's a constant.

03:17:24.000 It's something that we have been up against for a very long time, and that does not encourage conservatives and Republicans to do better, and that's why they feel comfortable right now.

03:17:32.000 For crying out loud, right now, Burgum is appearing with Dana Bash on CNN.

03:17:36.000 Could you be any more tone deaf?

03:17:38.000 Any more predictable.

03:17:39.000 They've had Mike Pence on.

03:17:41.000 Who'd they have first?

03:17:42.000 They just had Vivek on.

03:17:43.000 But the fact that they're doing this, like, what do you think?

03:17:46.000 Man, I really have to bring my message to the people.

03:17:49.000 Let me go talk with Dana Bash.

03:17:51.000 They're just used to it.

03:17:51.000 It's not like they have to get out of the old way of doing it.

03:17:54.000 Nobody's interviewed anybody from Transylvania on CNN.

03:17:56.000 Let me tell you something about Dana.

03:17:56.000 That's true.

03:17:59.000 Well, you know what, I tell you what, he certainly did stand up to those Ottomans.

03:18:04.000 It worked out.

03:18:04.000 No, I think people do get stuck in these old patterns where they're like, oh, I have to give a canned answer.

03:18:09.000 Oh, I have to, I have to be a little bit more kind of upright in these debates and, and not show the personality and the fire that really got me here in the first place.

03:18:16.000 And now I have to go talk to CNN and MSNBC and Fox and CBS.

03:18:19.000 I got to talk to all these guys.

03:18:21.000 No, no, no.

03:18:21.000 What you need to do is bypass the gatekeepers.

03:18:23.000 You start taking power away from them.

03:18:25.000 Look, there are two things in this industry, I'm going to give you some inside baseball here, that are hardest to cheat.

03:18:30.000 And I've said this for a very long... You can buy views on platforms, okay?

03:18:34.000 Especially if you have billions of dollars or hundreds of millions in non-profit funding.

03:18:37.000 The hardest numbers to cheat are live viewership and ticket sales.

03:18:42.000 That's why when people point to Donald Trump's rallies, I get it.

03:18:44.000 You can have a big rally and maybe not win a general election.

03:18:47.000 That is plausible, though not likely.

03:18:49.000 But it is very, very hard to cheat.

03:18:52.000 Consistently having people come out to your rallies or pay a ticket to go see you speak in person Or people at that.

03:18:58.000 In other words, tonight, when these streams are going on, you have the choice to tune in anywhere.

03:19:03.000 We cannot pay to plump up our viewership because it has to go through a 24-hour approval process.

03:19:08.000 Whoever tuned in, you tuned in.

03:19:09.000 Those are the two toughest numbers to cheat.

03:19:11.000 And so I will tell you this, if nothing else, if you want to know if you're having the wool pulled over your eyes, If you see a huge media company online that has these huge plays, right, millions of plays, and Tim, you know, you run up against this, everyone who runs social here on YouTube, on Facebook, you go, wow, that's 5 million plays, but they're consistently getting a few thousand, or maybe even 15,000.

03:19:29.000 On a good day, 20,000 live viewers, that means there's a disconnect.

03:19:34.000 And that's why, you know what, a good example, by the way, Patrick Bet-David has great live viewership.

03:19:38.000 Jordan Peterson sells more tickets out there than anyone in the conservative movement.

03:19:41.000 I was thinking about this in the drive over today, and I would love to hear from you.

03:19:44.000 Who would you say are the top three shows online, like the top three podcasters out there doing it?

03:19:48.000 I would say Patrick Bet-David is up there for sure.

03:19:51.000 Jordan Peterson in his field, he's untouchable.

03:19:53.000 And Marc Maron.

03:19:56.000 Well, I guess in the Count of Monte Cristo look-alike convention.

03:20:01.000 I wasn't going to say it because I didn't know if you were friends with him or not.

03:20:05.000 I don't have a problem with him.

03:20:06.000 Oh, okay, I do.

03:20:07.000 A lot of people do.

03:20:08.000 No, no, no, I just, you know.

03:20:10.000 Guys like that are scared of me.

03:20:11.000 Yeah, I think this is going to be interesting.

03:20:13.000 So they're fact-checking the debate right now.

03:20:14.000 They brought on the glasses on CNN.

03:20:16.000 Oh, here we go.

03:20:18.000 Number three, I would say Joe Rogan because of first-movers' rights.

03:20:20.000 He stayed in when everybody else pulled out.

03:20:22.000 And so I would say Patrick Bette David, Jordan Peterson.

03:20:26.000 Joe Rogan would be in my top three.

03:20:27.000 I'd love to hear yours.

03:20:28.000 Let's see the fact check from this Rainn Wilson lookalike.

03:20:31.000 That's high praise.

03:20:31.000 misleading at best and that's because Governor DeSantis is omitting a bunch of

03:20:35.000 important information. Hey look, it's two queers, one cup. 1.00

03:20:37.000 What he did early in the pandemic. Here is the reality.

03:20:39.000 He certainly did eventually open up Florida. He certainly was faster than some other governor in doing so.

03:20:45.000 That's high praise. He did not keep it open from the start.

03:20:47.000 They should have thought bubbles over their head right now.

03:20:49.000 It's hot dogs. It's just a blurred donut.

03:20:53.000 Jesus.

03:20:53.000 Diddy, you look into schools.

03:20:55.000 Some of the things he did in March 2020 and April 2020.

03:20:59.000 He closed Florida schools for the rest of the school year.

03:21:01.000 He banned those music and nursing homes.

03:21:02.000 Did he?

03:21:03.000 You look into schools.

03:21:04.000 He ordered bars and ice cream.

03:21:05.000 Wearing a trench coat with a bag of Twinkies.

03:21:06.000 I'm out.

03:21:07.000 I'm out.

03:21:08.000 Do you know what that means?

03:21:10.000 For a couple of months.

03:21:11.000 Yeah.

03:21:12.000 Because it was in early April, late March that we were talking about this, the closing of all of this stuff, and he's like, he closed it for the rest of the school year?

03:21:19.000 He's not telling the truth because he did close things down for Florida.

03:21:23.000 He opened them sooner than most people did.

03:21:26.000 Yes, the context matters.

03:21:27.000 If you had your way, and by that I mean known Democrat shills, yes, Anderson Cooper and

03:21:31.000 this man, his name escapes me because I don't like to remember it, you are included.

03:21:34.000 But here's the thing, if what kind of policies would you have if left unfettered, kids still

03:21:40.000 wouldn't be in school.

03:21:41.000 Of course.

03:21:42.000 That's without a hint of hyperbole.

03:21:43.000 Be like Chicago.

03:21:44.000 Children would not be back in school.

03:21:45.000 And if so, at the very least with masks on, which the which, by the way, the literature,

03:21:49.000 someone can bring this up for mission control show.

03:21:51.000 And I know it's not a perfect clinical trial because you're not going to have that with

03:21:54.000 masks because it can have a placebo control group just to be clear.

03:21:57.000 We're not going to have the golden standard, but if you look at the meta-analyses, children who wore a mask, infrequently or not at all, were less likely to have severe COVID complications than children who wore a mask.

03:22:07.000 That's not what Randy Weingarten said.

03:22:09.000 I thought you were saying Randy Newman.

03:22:11.000 Yeah, same thing.

03:22:12.000 You know I'm going to wear a mask!

03:22:14.000 Not going to!

03:22:15.000 Because my school's up to the task!

03:22:18.000 I can't breathe because I'm wearing this mask.

03:22:22.000 Give me another Grammy mask. 1.00

03:22:24.000 That guy sucks. 1.00

03:22:28.000 I like him. 1.00

03:22:28.000 He's actually very talented. 1.00

03:22:31.000 I don't like him, but I know he's talented.

03:22:32.000 That was their big fact check, by the way.

03:22:34.000 They've gone to commercial.

03:22:35.000 The fact check was, Ron DeSantis wasn't telling you the whole story about the lockdowns.

03:22:39.000 He needs to be.

03:22:40.000 And he was very adamant about that.

03:22:42.000 I was kind of trying to read his lips as he was talking.

03:22:44.000 That's all they do.

03:22:45.000 No, they're trying to point out these small things where it's like, of course everybody closed down.

03:22:50.000 Everybody was worried initially about this, right?

03:22:53.000 But it's what he did once we go, ah!

03:22:56.000 I'm saying the fact.

03:22:58.000 Oh, sorry.

03:22:59.000 Gratuitous Joe Lewis cam.

03:23:01.000 There we go.

03:23:03.000 Sorry, he's been very patient.

03:23:07.000 Right now he's wondering why we're not at home.

03:23:08.000 Is anybody taking him out?

03:23:12.000 I don't know what they do in South India.

03:23:17.000 I don't want them to eat at me.

03:23:21.000 By the way, let's bring up a tweet from our former Vice President Joseph R. for Robinette Biden.

03:23:28.000 He's going back to Nick.

03:23:29.000 By the way, that's because Nick feeds him from the table.

03:23:31.000 He does.

03:23:31.000 I do not feed him from the table.

03:23:33.000 You and Alex Jones. 1.00

03:23:34.000 Son's a bitch. 1.00

03:23:35.000 He took my food. 1.00

03:23:37.000 By the way, it's Sons of Bitches, if you could please do that.

03:23:39.000 I shouldn't have said that out loud.

03:23:41.000 I am from Canada, I don't say that. 1.00

03:23:42.000 That's it, he says you son of a bitch. 1.00

03:23:43.000 Son of a bitch, I've been playing for the Canadian for two, three years. 1.00

03:23:46.000 You got me cussing over here, I apologize. 1.00

03:23:48.000 Yeah, blame it on me, you hellion. 0.56

03:23:51.000 So this is from Joseph R. I never fed the dog, by the way.

03:23:54.000 He took my food.

03:23:56.000 A bunch of Republicans on stage.

03:23:59.000 One united MAGA ideology from our on-air channel.

03:24:03.000 That's not it at all.

03:24:06.000 I mean the tweet.

03:24:10.000 Joseph R. Biden.

03:24:12.000 The hell was that?

03:24:13.000 Oh that's Trump looking at it from his cell.

03:24:15.000 That's what she said to me.

03:24:16.000 The one right above that.

03:24:18.000 We're doing this live without a net.

03:24:20.000 Well and he's getting better.

03:24:22.000 What?

03:24:23.000 We've been drinking.

03:24:24.000 The tweet right above that.

03:24:25.000 I mean, it's literally a half an inch above that.

03:24:27.000 That's what she said.

03:24:27.000 Go ahead.

03:24:28.000 Bring it up.

03:24:28.000 Stop it.

03:24:29.000 Do it!

03:24:29.000 Yeah!

03:24:30.000 Oh my goodness.

03:24:30.000 A bunch of Republicans on stage.

03:24:31.000 One united MAGA ideology.

03:24:33.000 Oh! 0.60

03:24:33.000 What's this? 0.60

03:24:33.000 Hollywood Squares? 0.60

03:24:34.000 Yeah, exactly.

03:24:35.000 No, no, no.

03:24:36.000 I don't need a video report.

03:24:37.000 Yeah, he's the middle square on the age quilt.

03:24:39.000 This is Joe Biden trying to... Wait.

03:24:42.000 Was that supposed to be clever?

03:24:44.000 That's what I mean.

03:24:45.000 He just said it.

03:24:46.000 That's not mine.

03:24:47.000 That's comedic.

03:24:48.000 I have to give...

03:24:49.000 Joe Biden.

03:24:50.000 That's not mine.

03:24:51.000 We're talking about the videos.

03:24:52.000 I didn't hear what Nick said.

03:24:53.000 Oh, okay.

03:24:54.000 Well, he said it about Paul Litton. 1.00

03:24:55.000 Kenny Rogers is a fucking genius. 1.00

03:24:56.000 Wait, Kenny Rogers? 1.00

03:24:58.000 Kenny Rogers said, yeah, yeah, the singer came up with that one.

03:25:02.000 All right.

03:25:02.000 No, Kenny Rogers said, ow!

03:25:04.000 You just hit my shoe! 0.95

03:25:05.000 I hit your heel!

03:25:06.000 It's a Goodyear welt!

03:25:08.000 Jeez!

03:25:09.000 What's that made of, shark's teeth?

03:25:10.000 I don't know, but I tell you what I do know. 1.00

03:25:12.000 When he said that stupid white dog, that felt bad for Nick coming out of his mouth, because he loves Joe Louis. 1.00

03:25:17.000 You didn't mean that for a moment. 1.00

03:25:18.000 If I could have a dog on the planet, I would kidnap that thing. 1.00

03:25:21.000 And I'd treat it the way it deserves to be, not the way you treat it.

03:25:27.000 Who feeds cotton candy and chocolate to their dog? 1.00

03:25:32.000 He likes Mickey's.

03:25:33.000 He is the sweetest, scariest dog I've ever seen.

03:25:37.000 He's the scariest looking dog.

03:25:38.000 I've never seen him dislike anybody.

03:25:40.000 Me?

03:25:40.000 I hate everybody.

03:25:41.000 He dislikes stray cats.

03:25:44.000 Let's grab a couple of chats because we're waiting on obviously Dr. Peterson.

03:25:48.000 We'll see if he gets in there.

03:25:50.000 Then we can go to Mug Club and if these candidates want to wait then it'll just be on Mug Club.

03:25:54.000 We'll run it on as a clip tomorrow.

03:25:56.000 But let's grab a few chats and thank you again.

03:25:58.000 The promo code is CrowderGOPdebate.

03:26:01.000 $10 off and he will be at Rob's Comedy Playhouse September 15th somewhere in New York.

03:26:05.000 Buffalo.

03:26:06.000 Buffalo.

03:26:06.000 Here I am in front of my pizza place.

03:26:07.000 I can't remember any everything.

03:26:10.000 Here I am in front of my pizza place.

03:26:12.000 I love that picture.

03:26:13.000 Alright, so here's a question for Stephen.

03:26:16.000 What were your thoughts on the questions and what issues do you think needed to be addressed during the debate?

03:26:21.000 Well, I was just very surprised that they started off so quickly with the climate change as the number one issue and how they partnered with Young America's Foundation.

03:26:28.000 That seemed odd to me.

03:26:30.000 Maybe it's just me, and then right away going into the abortion in a way that was hedged really as though it was written from Salon.com or Slate.

03:26:38.000 I think that we learned today, look, and I've always tried to be really careful about this.

03:26:42.000 You know this, Gerald, because I was at Fox News for four and a half years.

03:26:45.000 They never liked me, to be clear.

03:26:47.000 Well, actually, that's not true.

03:26:48.000 Two people did, and then Roger Ailes did not.

03:26:51.000 He also, like, banned Norm Macdonald for life, so I felt like, okay, I'm doing all right.

03:26:55.000 In other words, they don't just hate everybody.

03:26:57.000 But I was there for four and a half years, so I've tried to be objective.

03:27:00.000 They're not your friends.

03:27:01.000 They're not your allies, Fox News.

03:27:03.000 I think we learned that tonight.

03:27:04.000 Would you say so, Gerald?

03:27:05.000 It did not seem like they were being even-handed.

03:27:07.000 I think that's reasonable.

03:27:08.000 I mean, you've got an entire field of Republicans, and so you have to ask questions to kind of push them a little bit and get the conversation going.

03:27:14.000 But when you talk about climate change as a settled thing, that's a debate right now with conservatives and what part we play in it, what we should do.

03:27:22.000 Literally spending trillions of dollars and shutting down world economies to try to make sure that we go green instead of letting Africa, I don't know, use coal. 0.99

03:27:29.000 By the way, every single freaking electric vehicle out there is powered by coal, so thank you, coal.

03:27:33.000 We just had an ad for the Cadillac, the new EV from Cadillac, like 450 mile range, which by the way you know is probably 30% better than it actually gets.

03:27:41.000 That's one tank of gas!

03:27:42.000 Seriously.

03:27:43.000 And the gas mileage in my SUV is offensive!

03:27:47.000 It definitely is.

03:27:47.000 But I also think that they are not pushing back the way that they used to.

03:27:52.000 Fox News?

03:27:53.000 Yeah, Fox used to be the rebels.

03:27:55.000 And look, again, they're never going to be that again.

03:27:57.000 They're never going to be that.

03:27:58.000 Can I say why?

03:27:59.000 Rumble?

03:28:00.000 Those guys are the rebels.

03:28:01.000 They're the ones out there.

03:28:03.000 What is it?

03:28:03.000 What did your mentor say, Andrew Byburn?

03:28:06.000 Punk rock, right?

03:28:07.000 Like, that's what they are.

03:28:08.000 So, Rumble, lean into that.

03:28:10.000 Don't try to be friends with these people. 1.00

03:28:12.000 Go in there and burn the damn thing down and put a nail in the coffin for us all so that we can just move on with our lives. 1.00

03:28:17.000 And that's what I love about Rumble. 0.99

03:28:18.000 They're not trying to burn anything down, but they are what they are, and I couldn't be happier to be partners with them.

03:28:23.000 You know why?

03:28:23.000 They don't have a woman as a CEO.

03:28:25.000 Start there.

03:28:26.000 That's serious.

03:28:27.000 Chris is, in fact, a man.

03:28:28.000 Well, you were about to say something before that.

03:28:29.000 That was it.

03:28:30.000 Oh, was it?

03:28:30.000 Okay.

03:28:31.000 Suzanne Scott and whoever the hell else.

03:28:34.000 And what are the kids?

03:28:35.000 It's not Murdoch's kids.

03:28:36.000 Loughlin, Murdoch, and... Yeah, those two.

03:28:37.000 Where'd they go, to frickin' Berkeley?

03:28:41.000 Yeah.

03:28:42.000 I always have to be careful because... My manager Tommy's being interviewed on camera.

03:28:46.000 I thought it was Vivek's brother. 0.92

03:28:47.000 I like gay video. 0.59

03:28:48.000 By the way, we do have Jordan Peterson on the way. 0.77

03:28:50.000 He's on the way, yeah.

03:28:50.000 In just a minute he'll be... What's he, in an Uber?

03:28:52.000 Let's grab another chat.

03:28:53.000 Alright, we got another chat here.

03:28:55.000 It's a question for crew.

03:28:56.000 How bad would Trump bulldoze Republican nomineeses if he had been at the debate?

03:29:02.000 Well, we talked about that.

03:29:03.000 Again, I think you have to imagine, okay, Donald Trump there next, put him next to Christie, put him next to Tim Scott, put him next to Vivek, put him next to Ron DeSantis, put him next to Nikki Haley.

03:29:12.000 I think everyone comes out of there, like I said earlier on tonight, everyone comes out of that debate tonight worse off than they went in, with the exception Of Vivek.

03:29:24.000 And I don't know, I guess sort of DeSantis, there's still a question mark.

03:29:28.000 I don't think that DeSantis answered the questions that he needed to tonight.

03:29:33.000 That's what I think is probably, and I'm not a political junkie so I know that people have... But we, the way we were doing this tonight, we turned it down while they were answering stuff.

03:29:41.000 A little bit.

03:29:44.000 We missed some of it.

03:29:46.000 I'm just saying.

03:29:47.000 No, there were a lot of fat jokes.

03:29:48.000 Why does Johnny Carson come back to life?

03:29:50.000 So what did you think of the debate?

03:29:55.000 Chris Christie.

03:29:56.000 Good stuff.

03:29:56.000 Good job.

03:29:57.000 Wild stuff.

03:29:58.000 Wild stuff.

03:29:58.000 Weird wild stuff.

03:30:00.000 Wild stuff.

03:30:01.000 Very good over there. 1.00

03:30:02.000 I haven't seen his dick in about 45 years. 1.00

03:30:07.000 Let's ask the Zoomer. 1.00

03:30:09.000 I think, yeah.

03:30:10.000 Well, that's because Chris Christie hasn't seen his Dick Cavett.

03:30:13.000 I think we have him.

03:30:16.000 Do we have him?

03:30:17.000 Yeah, I think so.

03:30:18.000 Alright, so right now, of course, we have Patrick Bette David.

03:30:20.000 Like I said, if I were going to put my top three people out there kind of fighting the good fight in their shows, their podcasts, Patrick Bette David would be there, and Dr. Jordan Peterson, who I believe we have on right now.

03:30:31.000 Doc, can you see me?

03:30:32.000 Can you hear me, sir?

03:30:36.000 Hey Stephen, how are you doing, man?

03:30:38.000 I am doing well.

03:30:38.000 Hold on a second, I'm trying to, that is, is that like a, is that a jacket?

03:30:41.000 That's almost like a Two-Face jacket.

03:30:42.000 It's from Don Cherry.

03:30:44.000 Quite the ensemble.

03:30:45.000 It's Don Cherry's company.

03:30:46.000 Exactly, well I am a Canadian, you know, so it's necessary to have a suit like this.

03:30:51.000 And that's, that's because Don Peterson in Rumble You can't go out of bounds!

03:30:55.000 So, Doc Peterson, what did you think?

03:30:59.000 And by the way, I think you can just Google Jordan Peterson and find everything that he does.

03:31:04.000 If I'm missing the most effective plug, he's so ubiquitous.

03:31:07.000 Doc, what was your takeaway tonight on this debate?

03:31:12.000 Well, the first thing I thought was that I thought all of the candidates did a credible job.

03:31:18.000 I thought it was actually a pretty strong playing field.

03:31:21.000 I thought each of them hit some points home effectively.

03:31:27.000 And then, you know, I have opinions about each of the different candidates' performances.

03:31:33.000 I thought Vivek Ramaswamy Evoke the most positive and the most negative response from the audience.

03:31:40.000 You know, he's very charismatic and so he can he can he can he can produce that extremely broad response from the audience.

03:31:49.000 So the challenge for Vivek will be to Learn how to minimize that the negative consequences of his somewhat impulsive style and to capitalize more on the attractiveness of his vision.

03:32:04.000 I think because I think when he does that he's very strong.

03:32:08.000 I think his use of insult in relationship to the other candidates was not didn't do him any particular good.

03:32:16.000 I don't think it hit well.

03:32:17.000 I think it turned them against him in a way that was somewhat counterproductive for him, but I also don't think that it sat well with the audience.

03:32:24.000 I thought DeSantis, you know, I'd give DeSantis a pretty solid B-plus performance rating with very little variability.

03:32:32.000 He was stable and credible the whole time.

03:32:35.000 I thought that Mike Pence was quite statesman-like, that Chris Christie showed a fair bit of spine.

03:32:42.000 I like the North Dakota governor.

03:32:43.000 He looks like a credible guy.

03:32:44.000 It doesn't look to me like he's in the race to the same degree as the rest of the candidates.

03:32:50.000 I thought Nikki Haley scored the odd point.

03:32:53.000 DeSantos was very strong on the southern border protection issue.

03:32:56.000 So, Tim Scott has a good sense of humor, although I thought that he was... he played polite.

03:33:07.000 I think he is polite and I think he is a genuinely good person, but there was a kind of, there's a harshness that might also be introduced into the realm that I don't think that he capitalized on.

03:33:22.000 He needed a little more, Tim Scott, he needed to get in there, go after the puck a little more, and I don't think he did.

03:33:28.000 Yeah, yeah.

03:33:29.000 Well, and you know, by the same token, he didn't make any mistakes that made it look like he was unfit for the job.

03:33:36.000 And I actually think that was the case for all of the candidates.

03:33:39.000 So, I think as a showing on the Republican side, it was quite strong.

03:33:44.000 It's a tricky debate forum with that many people talking because it's very difficult to develop any ideas in any detail.

03:33:50.000 So, you know, that was challenging.

03:33:52.000 I think it was unfortunate that Trump wasn't there.

03:33:55.000 I think it's not good that both Biden and Trump have decided that they're not going to participate in these debates because the debates are crucial.

03:34:02.000 And I think participating in them is a show of strength and a show of respect.

03:34:06.000 I mean, Trump made a brilliant move tonight, going to see Tucker Carlson instead at the same time.

03:34:11.000 Let me say one thing here.

03:34:13.000 I slightly disagree, and let me explain sort of my premise here.

03:34:15.000 I said this before the front end of these debates.

03:34:18.000 Everyone's been talking about, and I agree with you, that for Donald Trump strategically, right, it was a risk he didn't need to take.

03:34:23.000 But I also think that everyone there tonight Really should be thanking their lucky stars.

03:34:29.000 The best thing that could have happened to them from a selfish perspective, but as far as advancing, is Donald Trump not being there.

03:34:35.000 Because every time I'm watching these people answer, with the exception of Vivek, DeSantis, certainly Pence, certainly Nikki Haley, certainly Chris Christie.

03:34:42.000 And let me put them right next to Donald Trump.

03:34:45.000 Every single one of them tonight would have left that debate far more bruised and battered if Donald Trump had been there.

03:34:51.000 So it's almost a benevolent act.

03:34:53.000 Hey, fair enough.

03:34:54.000 Yeah, I mean, think about it.

03:34:55.000 We don't want to do damage to the Republican Party, right?

03:34:59.000 It might have been advantageous to these candidates for that to be the case.

03:35:02.000 The playing field was a lot more level.

03:35:05.000 So I don't think that they can necessarily complain about the fact that he wasn't there.

03:35:10.000 I think it's unfortunate on a broader level.

03:35:14.000 That he's forgone the debates.

03:35:15.000 But, you know, it's early in the campaign and God only knows what's going to happen.

03:35:18.000 I mean, the world's a very strange place at the moment and no one has any idea what's going to happen between now and November.

03:35:25.000 Right.

03:35:26.000 Let me ask you this from a perspective of someone who obviously has literally run up against, I guess figuratively, but quite literally gone up against the Canadian government.

03:35:36.000 Figuratively run up against them, literally actually had to actively fight the Canadian government.

03:35:42.000 The free speech issue is obviously something that's pivotal to you.

03:35:45.000 There was just a new, I think it was a case or ruling there in Canada, and I've always said that the United States is the greatest country in the world because it's the only country where freedom of speech exists.

03:35:53.000 In your gut, But as someone, and I know that free speech is near and dear to your soul, watching that tonight, who would you have the most trust in as far as someone who would be a defender of freedom of speech?

03:36:05.000 Because it's a pivotal issue, it extends to big tech, it extends to media in general, and of course that affects all of us.

03:36:10.000 Did you have a gut feeling of this might be someone who will be in our corner?

03:36:13.000 That's a tough one, you know I think, I guess I would pick, this isn't a precise answer to your question, but I would have some faith in Pence.

03:36:31.000 Pence, Christie, and Vivek.

03:36:34.000 Okay.

03:36:35.000 Probably, so there's four.

03:36:36.000 And DeSantis, you know.

03:36:37.000 I think those people would fight for that for different reasons. I think Pence would

03:36:44.000 fight for it because it's a right. I think Vivek would fight for it because he knows

03:36:49.000 you can't think without free speech. I think DeSantis would fight for it. I think he would

03:36:54.000 fight for it on principle as well.

03:36:58.000 That would be more constitutional argument.

03:37:01.000 Christy, I think, would fight for it because Christy's got a spine. 1.00

03:37:04.000 He's a tough character and I don't think he's the sort of person that would allow anyone to interfere with his free speech, you know?

03:37:10.000 And so, I'm pretty confident.

03:37:14.000 You know, you don't know what temptations will beset someone when they obtain a substantive amount of power.

03:37:20.000 Right.

03:37:23.000 I certainly have a lot more faith on the Republican side of the political distribution in relationship to protections for free speech than I do on the Democrat side.

03:37:32.000 I mean, look, we know Biden, we know, you know, I guess I take it personally to some degree, too, because I know absolutely perfectly well, because this was all revealed, that Biden told Facebook, for example, to preferentially promote the

03:37:46.000 New York Times and the Wall Street Journal directly over the Daily Wire, and of course I'm

03:37:50.000 quite, you know, tightly associated with them, so I'm in that in that camp of reprehensible

03:37:54.000 individuals. Yes, isn't it funny for anyone to say, look, and I know of course you're going

03:38:00.000 to have liberals who hate Jordan Peterson, but for anyone to put the words reprehensible and 0.99

03:38:04.000 Jordan Peterson together, those are silly people. 0.98

03:38:07.000 You can't say that, Doc, but I will. 0.95

03:38:09.000 I think Gerald has a question for you.

03:38:11.000 And I know we have to wrap you in just a couple of minutes here.

03:38:14.000 I know you've got some other things to do.

03:38:15.000 He's a busy man.

03:38:16.000 Yeah, Dr. Peterson, I agree with you on Vivek.

03:38:19.000 I started to see the same thing.

03:38:21.000 The audience didn't react the same way that I thought they would.

03:38:24.000 But he was kind of a marked man going into this debate.

03:38:26.000 DeSantis needed to do some damage on him, but he's basically gobbling up all of his votes.

03:38:32.000 So is there another strategy he could have taken?

03:38:35.000 I think it was kind of nice to see him go on the offensive a little bit.

03:38:38.000 You mean, you did a different strategy for Vivek or for DeSantis?

03:38:41.000 For Vivek, basically going on the offensive and punching out a little bit first.

03:38:46.000 Well, no, I think there were some things he could have done and that would have been helpful.

03:38:50.000 I think that Pence was quite markedly professional in his use of pauses.

03:38:55.000 You know, he controlled the pace of the dialogue and Vivek is quite impulsive and quick and I think that that highlights his youthfulness in a way that's not not useful to him.

03:39:07.000 I think that more explanation and less criticism would have worked better again and made him look more sagacious and more mature.

03:39:15.000 I think he could have done that That and in a manner that would have only be advantageous to him.

03:39:22.000 And I also think that he could have highlighted his, as I said earlier, his concern for the disenfranchised working class, particularly on economic grounds.

03:39:30.000 And I think that was a weakness in the entire field.

03:39:33.000 They've left that field.

03:39:34.000 They've left that part of the political domain for Trump.

03:39:37.000 And that's not smart because that's really where Trump is strongest.

03:39:40.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

03:39:41.000 I think maybe Vivek was smart to go into the immigration issue because that does tie in with the American working class.

03:39:46.000 That's a big reason that Trump surged in 2016, and I don't think that Fox News was really doing a very good job of trying to at least lay up the issues for them where they would be strongest to answer.

03:39:56.000 I mean, going into climate change and abortion.

03:39:59.000 I don't know, I was a little disappointed, but I know that you have to wrap up.

03:40:01.000 You're the belle of the ball tonight.

03:40:02.000 Doc, where's the best place for people to find you and support you because you're everywhere these days?

03:40:08.000 Well, I mean, people are certainly more than welcome to take a look at my books if they're inclined to do that.

03:40:14.000 The place I'm most active is really on YouTube.

03:40:17.000 That's the right place to follow me.

03:40:19.000 That's where, I mean, apart from the books, obviously, that's where I'm I suppose at my best.

03:40:27.000 I don't know if I'm on my best, at my best on Twitter, for example, but... No one is.

03:40:32.000 It's entertaining. 0.98

03:40:32.000 And by the way, you correct your dirty mouth. 0.98

03:40:37.000 It's X, doctor. 0.94

03:40:39.000 Yes, yes, it's X. I'm sorry.

03:40:40.000 You've been X'd. 0.90

03:40:41.000 I will get that right eventually.

03:40:44.000 None of us will.

03:40:45.000 All right, so on YouTube, and of course your books, everyone knows.

03:40:47.000 I mean, it's one of the best-selling books that I can think of, certainly in the... Can I just say one thing?

03:40:51.000 Yeah, yeah, one thing.

03:40:52.000 His book, and I want to thank Dr. Peterson for his book.

03:40:56.000 I was going through some tough stuff about six, seven years ago, and it made a little bit of a mess of my marriage.

03:41:02.000 And his book, basically, the gist of it was, you've got to do the right thing.

03:41:05.000 And it really, one of the few books that have had an impact on me.

03:41:09.000 So I wanted to thank you so much for that.

03:41:12.000 And I live in Savannah, Georgia.

03:41:13.000 I think you opened a center down there or something.

03:41:15.000 Are you going to?

03:41:16.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:41:18.000 Well, there's a new university down there, Ralston College, a bricks and mortar institution.

03:41:24.000 And I'm starting this Peterson Academy, which my daughter is running.

03:41:28.000 And we're going to cut the cost of a Of a university-equivalent degree down to something approximating $4,000, which I think would be absolutely comical, and I think we can do it, too.

03:41:39.000 Well, Dr. Peterson, thank you, sir.

03:41:40.000 A nice radical proposal.

03:41:42.000 We run in different circles, but, you know, Nick, just in case you didn't know, Nick DiPaolo is the OG in comedy.

03:41:48.000 He's probably one of the most respected joke writers and known as one of the meanest comics in the business, so if anyone were to tell you, or tell anyone, Twelve years ago, that Nick DiPaolo will be thanking Jordan Peterson for a book that tells him how to improve his character and moral fiber.

03:42:05.000 They would have called you an absolutely insane person, so that shows the kind of people that you're able to reach and take some time.

03:42:10.000 Nick DiPaolo, one of the funniest men, but an animal, a savage.

03:42:14.000 Dr. Peterson, I know you're busy, so thanks for taking the time, brother.

03:42:17.000 Thank you.

03:42:18.000 Hey, man, it's really good to talk to you, and I'm very happy to hear that my book was helpful.

03:42:22.000 I'm always very happy to hear that. 0.98

03:42:24.000 That was the whole point of writing the damn thing. 0.99

03:42:26.000 Thank you, sir. 0.98

03:42:27.000 I really appreciate it.

03:42:28.000 He really, really needs it.

03:42:29.000 Thank you, Dr. Peterson.

03:42:31.000 We appreciate it.

03:42:32.000 That is insanity.

03:42:34.000 Yeah, absolutely.

03:42:35.000 Nick DiPaolo.

03:42:36.000 I was like, what, he told you to make your bed, Nick? 1.00

03:42:38.000 You see, you look at me and see a dumb Italian. 1.00

03:42:41.000 I didn't say dumb Italian. 1.00

03:42:42.000 You don't have to. 0.99

03:42:43.000 Black guys are right about a lot of this stuff. 1.00

03:42:46.000 I'm serious, I get pigeonholed.

03:42:51.000 I get plenty of books at home, whether it's Jordan Peterson, whether it was back in the day Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, even, I was going to say Chomsky, but that would be a lie. 0.95

03:43:00.000 But I'm just saying, I'm not a pretentious asshole who has to show it. 0.86

03:43:05.000 No, I just never know, you know, because I have to keep the allure. 0.78

03:43:08.000 But you know what, Nick DiPaolo is actually, he's a kind man at heart.

03:43:11.000 I mean, I saw five minutes of him on YouTube one night and went, oh my God, this guy is absolutely brilliant.

03:43:16.000 We were really covering him with Bill C-16 there in Canada before he, you know, had appeared on Rogan and before he had sort of broke.

03:43:23.000 And I said, look, this is a guy who's really fighting the fight against the Canadian government as a professor.

03:43:27.000 I couldn't be more happy that he's done as well as he has.

03:43:31.000 He's just one of those guys, he just needs to get out in front of people.

03:43:35.000 If you have heard the left describe Jordan Peterson, you'll think he's a monster.

03:43:38.000 If you've heard Jordan Peterson in his own words, to know him is to love him.

03:43:42.000 That's how it was Rush Limbaugh.

03:43:45.000 That's all I heard was how evil he was and I put it on and I'm like, I haven't heard him say even close to a dark thing.

03:43:51.000 Well that's the same thing I heard about you and I tuned in and I said, well I see the point.

03:43:55.000 Yeah, well I... But it's okay!

03:43:57.000 We need all different kinds of warriors!

03:43:59.000 No, you're right!

03:44:00.000 I do it for, you know, you don't think Dr. Peace would love to let it fly like I do some nights?

03:44:05.000 Well, I know he's a big fan of Trailer Park Boys, which means he does have a little bit of a dark side to him.

03:45:23.000 Let's go to nickdip.com.

03:45:25.000 The drinking game really did a number.

03:46:29.000 Donald Trump Jr., can you hear me, sir?

03:46:33.000 I can hear you.

03:46:34.000 Fantastic.

03:46:35.000 How was it being there?

03:46:36.000 I was there yesterday.

03:46:37.000 I had to leave to get back here for the debate.

03:46:39.000 I had to catch an ungodly early flight out of here.

03:46:42.000 But I wish that I was there to sit in the room.

03:46:44.000 What was your take on what was going on in the debate?

03:46:48.000 It was amazing.

03:46:49.000 I mean, Trump won a debate without even having to be present.

03:46:51.000 It was spectacular.

03:46:55.000 That's what I missed!

03:46:56.000 That's what I called yesterday!

03:46:57.000 He said Trump won the debate without being there.

03:46:59.000 I'm sorry Don Jr.

03:47:00.000 I did a half pee because out of respect for you I cinched it up and now it burns and then I hear everyone laughing so I'm sorry I don't know what I missed.

03:47:08.000 What happened?

03:47:10.000 They asked me how I thought it went tonight.

03:47:12.000 I said it was incredible.

03:47:13.000 I mean, there's nothing like winning a debate without having to even show up.

03:47:16.000 Yes.

03:47:17.000 No, hold on.

03:47:17.000 They didn't ask you.

03:47:18.000 It was me, Don.

03:47:19.000 It was me.

03:47:21.000 I can't see the screen.

03:47:22.000 Nothing's showing up.

03:47:23.000 I'm just seeing this.

03:47:25.000 Are we on live now, or are we just talking?

03:47:27.000 No, we are.

03:47:27.000 We are always live, so, you know, careful with our comments about... Well, listen, I saw DiPaolo on the screen there, and I just wanted to thank Nick, because I think, A, he's hilarious, but more importantly, he paid me one of the great compliments I've ever received, actually.
