RadixJournal - The Rape of Graham Platner

00:00:00.320 All right. Hey, everyone. I hope you're doing well. I hope this is working. This is my first

00:00:07.760 Substack Live through the website. I've done it through the app on the phone, but it's

00:00:13.800 my first attempt using the studio, etc., and tons of people are already here, so I guess

00:00:20.240 it is working. Yeah, I just want to talk a little bit about Graham Plattner. I will...

00:00:30.000 speak my piece on this. It's going to probably be a little bit wandering in terms of things

00:00:36.560 about this case. And I don't know if I could take questions. We'll see. We'll see if we

00:00:43.320 can figure it out. But anyway, if you haven't heard, Graham Plattner has officially dropped

00:00:51.760 out of the race. Now, the video he released, which was a very personal video that he seemed

00:00:57.500 seemed to do with his own phone, was a bit of a head fake because he was sounding strong at the

00:01:06.860 beginning. And I think in his heart of hearts or in his gut, he wants to stay in. And that speaks

00:01:15.160 well of him. He unequivocally denied the allegations. He said they are false. And he also

00:01:23.740 said that this was a scheme to decapitate a left populist movement for the people of Maine

00:01:32.780 that was going to hold the billionaires to account, call out the genocide in Gaza,

00:01:38.360 and do right for average folks in Maine. And then he said he was dropping out.

00:01:44.520 um i uh don't know what to say exactly graham i mean look i and and this is clear if you've

00:01:54.840 been following my commentary on substack i'm a little bit wary of left populism i i've become

00:02:03.840 somewhat of a libertarian again in my old age so i'm skeptical of his policies i think there

00:02:10.980 needs to be real opposition to the pro-Israel status quo, no question about it. I agree with 0.78

00:02:19.020 him there. But yeah, I voiced some skepticism about his campaign. But one thing I would say

00:02:26.140 is that he's an authentic guy. And I don't really like these attacks on Graham Plattner.

00:02:34.280 It's like, well, he's sort of downwardly mobile. He comes from a good family, and he went to a good

00:02:39.860 prep school. It sounds like I'm describing myself here. But he was a warrior. He worked for Black

00:02:49.820 Water. His history is a bit odd, but I think it is authentic. Yeah. Look, what do you want exactly

00:02:59.600 to be authentic? Do you want a guy who can't put two sentences together, who worked in a lobster

00:03:06.440 farm his entire life. I mean, I'm sorry, maybe you're going to need someone who has at least

00:03:13.360 rubbed shoulders with elite educated people, but has also felt what it feels like to be working

00:03:23.340 class, to have a not particularly successful oyster farm. I mean, I don't know what this

00:03:29.460 authenticity thing is. I think authenticity is when you say what you mean and you mean what you

00:03:35.280 say. And you keep it real. And Graham Plattner struck a chord clearly with Mainers. And yeah,

00:03:44.860 he was recruited by some socialist people or something. He had a whiz kid

00:03:52.080 consultant, you know, giving him advice, good or bad. Well, yeah, that's how it works. That's how

00:04:00.560 it works everywhere. I don't know what people think authenticity is. People come from different

00:04:06.780 places. They have different stories, et cetera. Anyway, I'm on this too long. I liked his

00:04:12.220 authenticity. He was real. I don't always agree with him, but I can trust him. And he's not a

00:04:20.900 slimy dealmaker. So there it is. He's a cool guy, very flawed guy. His life after the military

00:04:28.420 was a mess. I bet his life in the military was a bit of a mess. But he has that in common with

00:04:35.880 millions of men in the United States, millions of men around the world. And yeah, his

00:04:43.040 lifestyle, I guess, could be criticized. Sure. But to throw him away or claim that he's fake

00:04:53.320 or something is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. 0.99

00:04:57.680 So I guess I would say to Graham Plattner, 0.99

00:05:01.520 man, I probably would have voted for you

00:05:05.460 if I lived in Maine, if I could.

00:05:08.080 And I feel your pain.

00:05:10.100 I feel, I understand what it feels like

00:05:12.840 when the weight of the world is on your shoulders

00:05:14.880 and you just would rather give up to make it stop.

00:05:19.340 I get it.

00:05:20.960 but your pulling out of the campaign

00:05:25.860 is totally incoherent.

00:05:28.400 You vehemently denied the allegations

00:05:30.580 and you said the allegation

00:05:32.360 is the start of the process.

00:05:34.460 Then we have to investigate this.

00:05:37.620 We have to go to court perhaps.

00:05:40.640 He has to have his perspective

00:05:42.460 in the public square.

00:05:44.320 Yeah, all that's real.

00:05:45.860 All that's real.

00:05:47.040 Yeah, also the Democratic establishment

00:05:49.980 doesn't like him.

00:05:50.960 That's clear. I think strong factions of it didn't like him. Some factions did. And they're trying to use Me Too to get rid of him. They're trying to use baseless accusations to decapitate the leader of a populist movement. We've seen this before.

00:06:04.820 So why did you pull out then? I get it. The Democratic establishment turned on you and they are preventing you from fundraising. They are trying to get staffers to leave this. I'm forgetting what her name is. Cheyenne, someone from Reckoning, some Me Too organization. She's trying to hire away your staffers.

00:06:29.040 I mean, yeah, they were doing everything against you.

00:06:32.900 But, you know, there comes a time where you flip over the money changing tables in the

00:06:41.080 temple as Jesus did.

00:06:43.940 Amen, brother. 1.00

00:06:45.300 There's some times when you're just like, fuck it. 1.00

00:06:48.740 I mean, let's go back to Donald Trump. 0.99

00:06:50.980 Look, people did not like this in 2016 when he was asked at a debate, will you agree to

00:06:59.020 support the Republican nominee no matter what. And he said, no, no, I might run independent.

00:07:04.920 If I don't get my way, then I'm going to blow it all up. I know that that attitude is offensive.

00:07:14.220 And if you have that attitude and you can't pull it off, you look ridiculous. I get it. 1.00

00:07:19.540 But if this is not the time to, you know, break the glass and pull the emergency lever, or it's not the time to use the nuclear option, I don't know when it is.

00:07:35.300 You, as you said in your video in which you gave up, you said you got more votes than anyone in a Democratic Party.

00:07:45.720 You clearly struck a chord. In Maine, you became a national figure. Everyone was talking about you. You represented something that was bigger than yourself, which is a kind of left populism, etc.

00:08:01.260 uh this is the time to do it particularly if these accusations are spurious and i'll get

00:08:12.080 to the accusations again so i i mean look when a man is down i don't want to kick him

00:08:20.440 so i don't want to go after him and and be yet another voice you know pissing on his grave

00:08:29.480 basically. That being said, there is something deeply disappointing about this. You were claiming

00:08:37.820 that going forward, we need to make sure that the people's voices are heard and that this can

00:08:44.860 never happen again. Well, you are cementing this blueprint of how to destroy a left populist

00:08:55.080 movement. You have cemented it because you gave in to the bastards. Again, Graham, A, I feel for 1.00

00:09:04.540 you. B, I like you, just personally speaking. But I am deeply disappointed in you. And it seemed like

00:09:13.700 you, more than many other people, might actually have an ability to pull something like this off,

00:09:20.320 and you didn't do it. So maybe real average people shouldn't go into politics, Graham.

00:09:27.320 That is the message that you're sending. Now, the other thing I'd like to mention here is that,

00:09:34.900 you know, it's not just the online left or people who are sort of, you know, on the internet,

00:09:42.740 sort of on the margins, who want an authentic candidate who's going to come out there and

00:09:50.420 swing for the fences. It's actually regular people want that. Regular people like that.

00:09:59.140 Like, there actually is here a real synergy between online forces and offline regular Joe

00:10:07.540 forces. They

00:10:09.940 want someone like you 0.99

00:10:12.120 to get in to the race,

00:10:14.300 Graham.

00:10:16.920 But

00:10:17.600 the problem is,

00:10:20.380 and this is where I'll stop

00:10:21.820 criticizing Graham Plattner, and I'll start

00:10:23.740 criticizing all of these online

00:10:26.040 leftists who

00:10:27.600 supported him, loved him, and then 0.99

00:10:29.980 turned on him, stabbed him in the back, 0.85

00:10:32.200 did the whole Julius Caesar routine, 0.97

00:10:34.400 is that

00:10:36.260 So this is what a real, authentic campaign looks like.

00:10:44.320 Graham Plattner, you say you want something different.

00:10:47.240 You say you want something authentic.

00:10:49.200 You say you want someone who bucks the status quo

00:10:52.260 and calls out the rich and powerful,

00:10:55.680 speaks truth to power,

00:10:57.880 calls a genocide in Gaza, genocide, et cetera.

00:11:00.400 You want that?

00:11:01.260 Well, this is what that looks like.

00:11:03.860 because if you continue to bow before me too logic me too ideology you will never have a

00:11:16.100 gram platner you will have lifeless nerds you will have people like susan collins forever 0.96

00:11:23.960 ruling over you why because nerds don't have interesting sex lives that's why

00:11:31.900 Graham Plattner's sex life could definitely be criticized, and it's not perfect, but it actually resembles the sex lives of millions of people who are average, hurting, want something different, etc.

00:11:48.880 etc. So I'm talking to the online left here. By throwing Graham under the bus and apologizing

00:11:58.620 or claiming to be betrayed by him, we thought there were no more accusations. Yes, you have

00:12:06.540 ensured that horrible, boring, status quo, conventional, get-along people are going to

00:12:15.900 be governing you forever. That's what you have done. Because these accusations, I'm sorry,

00:12:25.120 they tried these accusations a month ago and they didn't fly. And then what they did is they had a

00:12:31.300 mulligan. You know, I struck out strike three. Well, give me strike four. Let me have another

00:12:36.620 swing at it. They had a mulligan and they reconfigured the same accusations. 0.72

00:12:43.280 and so it wasn't just that he is a gram that is is a problematic boyfriend it was that oh he didn't 0.57

00:12:52.520 do this with my full consent now granted i was having sex with him earlier and later but at that

00:13:00.100 point at that moment i didn't give him consent and i told him to leave if this is the standard

00:13:08.640 then again you will not have a regular person like anywhere close to power you will have weird 0.80

00:13:19.780 lifeless nerds or perhaps muslims or i don't know what you'll have you will not have real 0.92

00:13:25.820 red-blooded people close to power so what seems to be happening here with the fundamental 0.96

00:13:35.400 accusation with

00:13:37.420 Jenny

00:13:38.360 is that she was

00:13:41.960 a bit of a side chick 0.95

00:13:43.600 if we're honest 0.97

00:13:45.040 she was in a

00:13:46.700 situationship with

00:13:49.360 Graham Plattner, a situationship 0.80

00:13:51.360 in which they would have sex

00:13:53.220 on and off 0.95

00:13:54.460 and then she said, and we learned

00:13:57.500 this through Ryan Grimm's

00:13:58.980 reporting, it's very interesting, he sort of threw

00:14:01.480 threw Graham under the bus

00:14:03.420 and then tried to pull him away from under the bus

00:14:05.820 at the last minute, didn't work anyway.

00:14:08.520 That we basically had indications 1.00

00:14:11.400 that she said she wanted a butt massage, 0.97

00:14:16.320 massage her glutes, 0.98

00:14:19.460 and Graham took that one way as a come hither.

00:14:23.640 She didn't mean it that way or changed her mind,

00:14:26.740 I don't know.

00:14:27.640 Anyway, he came over.

00:14:29.140 this is in my humble opinion a gray area it's something that millions of people

00:14:39.500 face or have dealt with in their 20s and 30s and the reason is is that we don't live

00:14:47.380 in a traditionalist society where you get married young divorce is all but impossible 0.98

00:14:52.820 and, you know, women are covered constantly. 1.00

00:14:57.880 No, we live in a society where you can have side chicks, 1.00

00:15:01.520 you can meet girls on Bumble,

00:15:03.660 you're dating multiple people at the same time,

00:15:05.880 and this sort of adolescence is not just high school or college,

00:15:09.420 it's kind of extended until you're 40.

00:15:12.280 That's the world we live in.

00:15:14.800 And you really, I'm sorry, you can't have it both ways.

00:15:18.980 you can't demand that we live in this world and then police it to in this way where what graham

00:15:29.300 is accused of doing is the equivalent of rape it is the equivalent of being a stranger or someone

00:15:36.760 who was not in any sort of intimate relationship breaking in forcing himself upon jenny having his

00:15:44.860 way with her and leaving these two things are not equivalent and there is yes some gray area i think

00:15:56.140 what was described by jenny just in the sort of structure is basically true but it's her narrative

00:16:05.560 she claims this consent she talked to her therapist although we learned that she talked to

00:16:10.600 spoke to her therapist in 2026 by the way she told her besties about graham he's charming and

00:16:17.660 intelligent but he's not he's not consent he's not consensually careful he's consensually

00:16:24.620 careless or something like that this is apparently proof that he engaged in a violent assault

00:16:31.580 it is 100% hearsay it's not even corroborated because it's basically the same girl telling

00:16:39.520 the same story. Although she's sort of telling different stories to different people. So it's

00:16:44.340 sort of the opposite of cooperation of a rape. So long as we live in our current world,

00:16:54.280 these gray areas are going to exist. And they're unpleasant. People are send and they're send

00:17:03.240 against. And yeah, they can be criticized. Maybe we shouldn't. Maybe we should go back to

00:17:08.860 tradition maybe we should do i we can have these conversations but the conversation we can't have

00:17:16.320 is someone decides that she wants to i don't know jenny wants attention jenny's mad at graham jenny's

00:17:26.000 jealous of graham jenny's jealous of graham's wife something like this so jenny decides to

00:17:32.040 destroy Graham. She makes a claim that is not investigated or verified. There is no trial.

00:17:40.900 There will, by the way, as an aside here, there will be no trial. By the way, all of Jenny's

00:17:47.520 accusations, even if taken to the nth degree, even if we just take them like, oh, everything

00:17:52.740 she said is true, whatever. This is never going to trial, by the way. He's never going to be

00:17:58.040 adjudicated as a rapist, by the way. He's just adjudicated as a rapist in our religious

00:18:05.820 moralizing society. So I'm just telling you, like, the left populist, Kyle Kalensky,

00:18:15.500 guy I've been listening to for 20 years or something. Yeah, all you guys, just letting

00:18:21.260 you know that Victorian puritan puritanicalism me too and left populism are not going to coexist

00:18:33.920 now maybe abstractly they could coexist you could do the me too thing and the left populist thing

00:18:41.900 or whatever maybe in like pure logic abstract logic they're not incompatible but in the real

00:18:49.060 world, they are clearly incompatible. And what you all have done by being complete pussies, 0.99

00:18:58.240 let's just call it like it is, you're all pussies. None of you know what it means to win. None of you 1.00

00:19:05.160 want to win. None of you have the desire to win. None of you will go to the mat. You're pussies,

00:19:12.740 Basically, you're weaklings. That's what you are. And you have allowed this Victorian puritanical morality to Trump left populism, anti-Zionism, Medicare for all, working class, rah-rah politics. 1.00

00:19:33.980 You have allowed middle class Victorian moralists

00:19:38.140 to trump your left populist movement.

00:19:41.840 You have.

00:19:42.920 Why? 1.00

00:19:44.060 Because you're pussies. 1.00

00:19:46.240 It's just as simple as that. 1.00

00:19:47.400 I don't have any more analysis.

00:19:49.280 This goes for Hassan, too.

00:19:51.300 Oh, yeah, what a big tough guy.

00:19:52.780 Yeah, Hassan Piker. 1.00

00:19:54.840 Yeah, you're all pussies. 1.00

00:19:56.420 And you're all going to lose, and you deserve to lose. 1.00

00:19:58.800 You deserve to be oppressed, in fact, because you're weak. 0.97

00:20:03.420 I like people who fight back. 0.99

00:20:06.860 You don't.

00:20:08.640 You basically cower and run away

00:20:11.640 the moment that Tara Palmieri tells you

00:20:14.860 that this guy is problematic.

00:20:17.440 There's like a lot of red flags with this guy.

00:20:20.900 And like, oh my God, I mean, yeah,

00:20:23.320 I said I wanted a massage,

00:20:24.400 but then I was like, no, no.

00:20:27.460 But then maybe like the next day, 0.61

00:20:29.340 I was like, yeah, yeah, let's have sex the next day. 1.00

00:20:32.540 but like no not then oh my god he's a rapist did you know he's a rape yes you allowed those 1.00

00:20:41.040 idiots to dominate you you allowed them to rape you okay and so you're gonna lose because you're 1.00

00:20:49.620 weak yes you're a weak team and you're gonna get your asses kicked by the strong team which which 1.00

00:20:58.240 the strong team is the victorian bourgeois moralist because they are as puritans 0.99

00:21:06.360 they're fanatics they don't take no for an answer ironically i guess they believe all women all you

00:21:15.300 have to do is make an accusation 100 true they like beth mandel who's even a republican 1.00

00:21:22.360 they will kick your ass because they're they have the power of fanaticism you're not fanatical 1.00

00:21:30.440 enough you're pussies you should be off the team because you can't hack it that's what i feel about 1.00

00:21:39.200 you guys the amount of respect that i have lost for like these leftists do i i have plenty of 0.99

00:21:45.820 disagreements disagreements with i'm kind of more of a i would prefer a gavin newsom politics i sort

00:21:52.220 of agree with you on Israel, whatever. I kind of liked your commentary. I have lost so much respect

00:21:58.420 for you because none of you are man enough to fight. You have just proven it and you can't

00:22:05.820 disprove it. You don't get a mulligan. You don't get another chance. This was your chance. You

00:22:11.740 failed. So that means you're cut. That should be the kind of rigorous discipline that you all apply

00:22:20.080 to yourselves in order to be victorious. But no, you won't. You're going to actually bow to,

00:22:26.240 yeah, Beth Mandel. Yeah, she's, wow, she's a really good girl. Yeah. Really serious. This

00:22:31.420 Me Too thing. Oh, my God. It's a reckoning for the powerful. God. The other aspect of this,

00:22:40.640 I mean, and let me mention this because, look, a very coherent narrative could be put forward

00:22:47.100 that the establishment doesn't like Plattner. He's a little too rough around the edges, A.

00:22:55.480 B, might he be an electoral liability? Can he beat Susan Collins? Is this the right choice?

00:23:03.580 Many people in the establishment thought that. C, there's the Israel thing. He's hard against 0.78

00:23:09.520 Israel, okay? So they have their problems with them. Now, at the same time, there are factions

00:23:18.500 within the Democrats who just simply want to win, and they might feel that someone like Graham could

00:23:23.460 be brought to heel, reformed a bit, the rough edges smoothed out, etc. So they don't like Graham.

00:23:37.960 The polling wasn't so great, sort of within the margin of error.

00:23:42.660 So they might want to get rid of them. 0.95

00:23:44.620 So they use outside groups like the one, her first name is Cheyenne.

00:23:49.420 It's called Reckoning or something like this.

00:23:51.940 The Reckoning.

00:23:55.620 Sounds ominous, and it is.

00:23:58.540 They want to use those outside groups to destroy them.

00:24:02.060 So it's not them just outright going in and saying,

00:24:06.080 yeah, guys, remember that whole primary thing or the democracy thing?

00:24:10.200 Yeah, we're not really into that, actually.

00:24:12.540 We're just going to have our hand-selected stuff shirt run

00:24:16.280 instead of Susan Collins.

00:24:19.960 They use Me Too to accomplish that goal.

00:24:23.700 This is the problem.

00:24:25.180 This is the problem, is that you allow them to do it.

00:24:31.120 You allow them to do it.

00:24:32.800 It's like the other team is, they're going to do, it's third down, and you've like overheard

00:24:39.620 the play they're going to run.

00:24:41.180 They're throwing it to the tight end on the right side.

00:24:43.300 You know what they're doing, and they still do it because you're all weaklings.

00:24:47.480 You just let it happen.

00:24:48.780 You can't stop the establishment from manipulating you until you call out the just midwit, basic 0.99

00:24:58.840 bitch, Victorian moralist that are behind or the operatives of the Me Too movement. 0.98

00:25:08.220 The establishment, if this is how it went, and the establishment wanted to get rid of Graham 0.99

00:25:13.540 through this method, it wouldn't work if you just say no to them. And you say, no, actually,

00:25:21.340 first off, you say what I said. This whole situation sounds a bit messy. It's a gray area.

00:25:27.100 Why don't you take it up in court, Jenny, 1.00

00:25:29.220 if you think it's rape? 1.00

00:25:31.220 You could say that.

00:25:33.260 You could also just say no to them

00:25:35.480 and say, you know,

00:25:37.260 actually, the ongoing genocide in Israel,

00:25:41.260 which you all believe in, by the way,

00:25:43.380 you all say it's a genocide.

00:25:45.360 The act of genocide is more important 1.00

00:25:48.060 than this crap. 0.99

00:25:50.480 As important as it is, 1.00

00:25:52.120 and as feminist as we all are, 0.97

00:25:54.160 it's still more important. 1.00

00:25:55.360 You have to make a priority list. But you didn't. And so what you proved is that Victorian

00:26:04.900 Puritanism is more important to you than women and children in Gaza. That's what you did 0.92

00:26:13.440 through your actions, and you can't take it back.

00:26:19.040 If the establishment did do this scheme that I've outlined that's sort of a conventional

00:26:25.360 story about the whole thing.

00:26:28.340 The scheme only works

00:26:30.000 because you are

00:26:31.860 weak. 0.94

00:26:35.220 It's all

00:26:36.200 in your, me too,

00:26:37.680 it's all in your head.

00:26:40.220 It's a psychological terror

00:26:42.200 that they have

00:26:43.640 over you and over men

00:26:45.820 in general. Once you say no

00:26:47.840 to it, it just

00:26:48.700 disappears.

00:26:52.840 It's not

00:26:53.800 real.

00:26:55.360 But again, all of you are too weak to do this.

00:27:00.500 So I feel like I'm kind of yelling at a brick wall here.

00:27:05.820 I'm not, I don't think, you know, Kalinsky and the other people,

00:27:10.360 I don't think you're strong enough to do this, actually.

00:27:13.820 I don't. 0.89

00:27:14.540 I think you're weak people.

00:27:16.580 Sorry.

00:27:17.860 But I think it is worthwhile.

00:27:19.620 So I'm not even talking to you because I don't think you can be changed.

00:27:22.760 You were born this way. 0.97

00:27:23.900 You're born weak.

00:27:25.360 but there are other people who can replace you who are,

00:27:30.600 who can learn from this and have a different mindset going forward and can

00:27:35.700 actually be victorious.

00:27:37.900 But again,

00:27:40.280 if you're,

00:27:41.320 I'm using these,

00:27:42.920 I'm sort of using,

00:27:44.180 what is it?

00:27:44.480 A metonymy metaphor for the,

00:27:48.160 if you're allowing people as just boring and basic and moralizing, 1.00

00:27:55.360 as Tara Palmieri to, like, destroy you guys,

00:28:01.020 then, yeah, yeah, not sure you're cut out for this.

00:28:06.640 I think the people in Gaza probably need other champions

00:28:09.860 than the online left.

00:28:12.220 Just saying, I think that's the case.

00:28:14.820 Because you guys kind of can't cut it, can you?

00:28:17.760 You can't cut it, can you?

00:28:21.940 Now, I would say this.

00:28:24.220 I am not even positive that all of the Democratic establishment wanted to decapitate Graham.

00:28:34.740 And isn't it interesting that some of the more serious commentary, the criticism against this PSYOP media campaign came from Mika Brzezinski, who is to the manner born.

00:28:53.720 I mean, she is within the establishment's inner establishment.

00:28:58.940 She is the daughter of Jimmy Carter's secretary of state.

00:29:03.720 Very interesting guy.

00:29:07.460 You had pushback coming from her and not you.

00:29:11.240 What does that tell you?

00:29:13.000 Isn't that interesting?

00:29:14.480 That there was actually more bravery shown by a MSNBC or MSNOW, I guess now,

00:29:21.380 Morning Joe co-host?

00:29:23.720 then the online left. Isn't that interesting? That Mika has bigger balls than you do?

00:29:29.640 Isn't that interesting, Kyle? Mika Brzezinski has bigger balls than you. Wow. Ouch. 1.00

00:29:39.120 It's kind of like the high school football team and you lose to the cheerleaders.

00:29:43.800 Wow. That's a really crappy team. You guys probably shouldn't be playing football. 0.99

00:29:49.720 just saying i mean it's kind of on you since you were born weak but oh maybe try something else

00:29:57.700 i don't know gardening i don't know maybe ping pong or tiddlywinks maybe you should try something

00:30:03.960 else as opposed to alternative politics because you're too weak to do this and you've been doing 0.98

00:30:10.300 it for a long time you've had many chances and you still suck and i think the children of gaza 0.98

00:30:15.520 need, they need some, you know, fiercer warriors than what you are capable of. 0.99

00:30:20.900 So there you go, buddy.

00:30:22.200 Sorry.

00:30:23.800 I don't know.

00:30:25.020 I just, sorry, the establishment once again wins.

00:30:28.860 They win on both fronts.

00:30:30.480 Isn't that interesting?

00:30:31.740 They, if we agree with this conspiracy theory, it's just kind of conventional wisdom, which

00:30:36.160 is that the establishment wanted to get rid of Graham.

00:30:38.960 This is what he basically said in his video.

00:30:41.220 They won on that front, but they also won on the integrity front.

00:30:45.520 Because some of them actually want due process.

00:30:48.820 Some of them are a little bit skeptical

00:30:50.240 of these rather convenient accusations

00:30:53.260 that sort of come out of the woodwork.

00:30:55.660 So the establishment is better

00:30:57.460 than the online left in two fronts.

00:31:00.340 They win in the realm of hardball politics

00:31:03.020 and they have more integrity.

00:31:05.100 That is sad.

00:31:08.300 Wow, that is really, really sad. 1.00

00:31:11.720 it's like the team the football team losing to the cheerleaders like you guys suck and you should 0.99

00:31:19.040 just go away because you can't hack it that's what i feel about you guys but um let me think 0.98

00:31:26.560 is there anything else i want to say i think i've gotten everything off my chest sorry this is a bit

00:31:32.760 angry people like anger they uh uh those are usually uh create the best clips but uh if anyone

00:31:40.560 has any questions or if you want to talk i could probably let you in perhaps um someone said

00:33:24.080 I'll calm down

00:33:26.320 I wish

00:33:28.380 I wish Graham Bratlin are the best

00:33:30.200 I sadly think

00:33:32.180 that his life might be destroyed

00:33:34.280 because

00:33:35.820 not enough people came to his aid

00:33:38.460 and the 1.00

00:33:40.160 online left are pussies 1.00

00:33:41.960 and there's that 0.99

00:33:44.120 I don't think they're going to have him on a podcast show

00:33:46.260 I don't know if

00:33:47.700 Graham is going to go into the world of podcast

00:33:50.320 I don't know if he can do

00:33:52.140 this again, run for office again. I mean, I feel for the guy. Even when I disagree with him,

00:34:01.140 I have sympathy for him. But I think it might be over for him. But there it is.

00:34:10.220 We'll see. It's always a second or third act in America, isn't there?

00:34:16.980 I will talk to you guys soon. All right. Bye-bye.

00:34:22.140 You
