00:00:00.000 Hey guys, what's up? It's Allie. Welcome to Relatable. As you can see, I have a little bit
00:00:05.000 of a new set. We're trying this in a different place. Hopefully we'll get some more decor. This
00:00:10.860 is kind of like bland right now, but we'll figure it out. Don't worry. And if you have any suggestions,
00:00:17.020 please let me know. In the past, people have gotten mad at me for using fake plants. This
00:00:20.980 is a fake plant. I don't really know what else to do about that. I have cats. Cats and real plants
00:00:26.020 in your house is just not a good combination at all. So if you have any better suggestions than
00:00:30.180 me having real plants in my house, I would love your suggestions. I am not a decorating kind of
00:00:35.080 girl. Anyone can tell you that. We've already had the conversation, those of you who follow me on
00:00:38.880 Instagram, about decorating your dorm rooms and how every freshman now, Mary Margaret from Alpharetta
00:00:44.020 that goes to the University of Alabama, she has like a thousand dollar designer person come in
00:00:49.680 and decorate her dorm room. That is not me. I am not a decor girl. Anyway, if you have any advice,
00:00:56.860 any mentorship for me, you design minded people out there for my set, please feel free to shoot
00:01:02.740 me a message on Instagram. That is not what we're talking about today, though. I got a critique,
00:01:10.240 I guess. I never get this critique from girls. It's only from guys saying, would you please start
00:01:15.420 the show sooner? Would you please cut through all of the stuff at the beginning and just get to the
00:01:19.840 show? Sometimes I do that. Sometimes I have stories for you guys. Sometimes I have things that I want
00:01:24.600 to talk about other than politics and morality and theology. I just want to rant for a second.
00:01:29.580 Guys don't like that. My husband's already told me I hate when you go through the stories in the
00:01:33.620 beginning. Please just get to the news. So I'm going to try to balance that. That's not what we're
00:01:38.780 talking about today. We're not talking about Instagram. We're not talking about designing my room.
00:01:44.240 And what we're talking about is the midterms, because if you didn't know, if you didn't realize
00:01:48.560 today is November 6th, 2018, that means it's midterm election day. That means we're going to
00:01:56.200 figure out if the polling has been correct at all. Is the House going to go to the Democrats? Is the
00:02:01.580 Senate going to stay with Republicans? We don't know what I've been saying over and over again when
00:02:06.880 people ask me my predictions is anything could happen. If 2016 taught us anything, it is that anything
00:02:12.980 could happen. All of the polls could be wrong. And maybe all of this unrest makes you really
00:02:18.660 nervous. Maybe you're losing sleep over all of this unpredictability. Well, if you are, then I have
00:02:25.540 a message for you. And that is that you need to go to bolstersleep.com and you need to check out
00:02:31.520 their pillows and their mattresses so you can get a better night's sleep. I've told you guys I'm like
00:02:36.500 a pillow addict in that I have a million pillows on my bed. I put pillows in between my headboard.
00:02:42.500 I put pillows like on one side of my head, on the other side of my head. I'm basically like in a
00:02:46.680 head cocoon of pillows because I can't ever find one pillow that's really comfortable for me until
00:02:51.520 I got my bolster sleep pillow. It is perfect. I only have to use my bolster sleep pillow now.
00:02:57.460 It keeps its shape all night. Also, it has cooling technology. So you never have to flip your pillow
00:03:01.500 over to get, you know, the cooler side of the pillow. You already have it. It's amazing. Best
00:03:06.000 pillow that I've ever used. I absolutely love it. They don't only make pillows. They also make
00:03:10.660 beds, adjustable mattresses that are made out of the same kind of material, same kind of technology
00:03:17.940 that goes into it. Just really great stuff. And having a better night's sleep just kind of
00:03:23.040 transforms your life for the better. So it's worth the investment. Plus, if you go to bolstersleep.com

00:03:43.360 Haiti by training them for practical jobs, plumbing, other trades so they can support themselves and

00:03:54.260 use promo code Allie, A-L-L-I-E, for $100 off a mattress or an adjustable bed. You will not regret
00:04:01.040 it. Okay. Last time I checked, 538, which I think is typically reliable. Their methodology is pretty
00:04:09.940 good. They're typically reliable when it comes to polling. They have about an 85% chance of
00:04:15.380 Republicans keeping the Senate. They've got an 85% chance of Democrats taking the House. I think
00:04:20.360 that's a good thing. Now, of course, if Democrats take the House, they're going to try to impeach
00:04:24.780 Donald Trump. That's just what they're going to do. They're going to make life as miserable as
00:04:29.560 possible for the president, of course. But if they took the Senate, they would try to take down
00:04:35.160 Kavanaugh, or at least they say that's what they're going to do. I think it's better that they try to
00:04:39.700 impeach Trump. Obviously, I don't want that. I think it's better that they go down that road with the
00:04:44.320 economy doing it as well as it is, with the country is doing as well as it is. If they want to try to
00:04:48.880 impeach Donald Trump, I think that's a bad look for Democrats, but it would bode well for us in
00:04:52.820 2020. I don't like the idea of them trying to impeach or take down Kavanaugh if they took over
00:04:57.920 the Senate. Also, the Supreme Court lasts a lot longer than the president does. So the repercussions
00:05:03.360 of Kavanaugh being taken off the Supreme Court would last a lot longer than if Donald Trump was
00:05:08.900 impeached. I don't think he's going to be impeached. I'm just telling you the Democratic playbook,
00:05:12.620 what they're going to try to do. They're going to try to obstruct. They're going to try to
00:05:16.860 fan as much outrage as possible from their base before 2020. That's what they're going to do.
00:05:23.000 Newt Gingrich wrote an op-ed for Fox News. I thought it was very good. He is very optimistic,
00:05:27.900 again, about the Senate. I think everyone is optimistic about the Senate for Republicans.
00:05:33.460 He said that he's not going to talk about the House races because he just doesn't know. He doesn't
00:05:38.320 know if we're going to win. It could really go either way. Now, I have seen some polling that says
00:05:43.000 Republicans could keep the House, that there are a few races, that maybe the polling is wrong.
00:05:50.560 It's possible for Republicans to hold the majority. That would be almost unheard of. That would be
00:05:56.320 incredible. You guys know that the chambers of Congress typically go against who is in the White
00:06:03.140 House. And so if it's a Republican in the White House, typically Democrats take over at least one
00:06:08.300 chamber of Congress, either the House or the Senate. Sometimes it's both. In 1994, the Republican
00:06:13.600 Revolution, which of course was led by Newt Gingrich, there was kind of a referendum on Bill
00:06:18.980 Clinton. We took the House and the Senate by storm. It was the first time something like that had
00:06:24.260 happened in several decades. I don't remember the exact statistic on that. It was like the first time
00:06:30.060 that Republicans had controlled the House in some number of years, something crazy like that.
00:06:36.020 It was kind of unheard of. Now, a lot of people, especially Democrats, have said that this is going
00:06:40.200 to be the year that Republicans had in 1994. 2018 is going to be that year for the Democrats.
00:06:45.740 It's not looking like that's the case. And you have seen their rhetoric change. They talked about
00:06:49.740 the blue wave, the blue wave, of course, all of this resistance talk that they are going to just
00:06:55.220 they are going to dominate in the midterms. And we're already seeing that that is not going to be
00:07:00.580 the case. Probably. Like I said, anything could happen. It just doesn't look like they are going
00:07:06.980 to dominate that much. They might do well in the House. Maybe they'll do better than expected in
00:07:12.300 the Senate. Maybe they'll win some governor's races. I hope to God not like if Stacey Abrams wins,
00:07:18.600 but maybe so. Maybe so. You never know. You know, so they might do well. So they have reason to be
00:07:26.400 positive, but they do not have a reason to say that this is just going to be a tsunami
00:07:30.880 of Democratic votes. And really, it should be. I mean, this is one of the most most most least
00:07:40.580 like the least like present least liked. Sorry, I guess I can't talk. Least liked presidents in
00:07:48.900 recent history. I mean, the resistance to him, not just from Democrats in Congress, but also in
00:07:55.640 Hollywood, in the media, in academia, the resistance to this president, the hatred of this
00:08:01.420 president and all of his supporters is more passionate definitely than I've seen. But I would
00:08:06.460 say that a lot of people have seen in decades. I certainly don't remember a president being this
00:08:12.140 hated, as hated as President Trump. So you would think that with all of that outrage and all of that
00:08:17.360 disdain that Democrats are feeling, all the work that they have done to be able to to paint
00:08:23.140 Donald Trump and to paint Republicans and to paint Trump supporters as these evil, awful bigots that
00:08:28.140 are ruining the country and taking us to fascism, our our Nazi agenda that we are trying to fulfill.
00:08:35.160 You would think with all of that rhetoric that they would be more successful, that this really
00:08:39.580 would be a blue wave. But it's not turning out to be that. So I say even if Republicans don't do as
00:08:46.760 well as we would like, even if we don't keep the House, which, of course, it doesn't look like
00:08:50.800 we're going to. Even if we only keep the Senate by, you know, fewer seats than we originally wanted
00:08:57.800 to, I still think it's a win that they are not going to take over as dramatically as they thought
00:09:04.220 that they would. I mean, every indication says that they should write with his unpopularity,
00:09:10.800 with the strength of the resistance, with everything that has happened with Kavanaugh,
00:09:15.180 with health care, all of these things that were supposed to be Armageddon, the tax cuts ruin our lives
00:09:20.200 in the world. You would think that Democrats would turn out to vote and that they would be a lot more
00:09:25.460 enthusiastic than Republicans. But that's not really the case. And I think a lot of that is
00:09:31.720 because of the whole Kavanaugh thing. Democrats overplayed their hand. They overplayed their hand.
00:09:36.700 They thought that this is going to end well for them. They thought, I guess, storming the Senate
00:09:41.200 chamber and storming the Supreme Court steps and trying to ruin a man's life based on unsubstantiated
00:09:47.160 allegations that there would be so much public empathy for Dr. Ford and so much antipathy towards
00:09:52.740 Kavanaugh that this would this would help them. This would play right into their hands. But it didn't.
00:09:58.320 Instead, they didn't. I think that Democrats did not bet on Kavanaugh fighting back like he did.
00:10:04.420 I don't think that they expected him to have the monologue that he did. Kavanaugh's monologue
00:10:09.560 might win the midterms for Republicans. Honestly, that those few moments of him almost crying on the
00:10:18.840 verge of tears, trying to fight for his life, fight for his name, fight for his honor, fight for his
00:10:23.500 family. That might have been a turning point for Republicans. And again, I know I've said this
00:10:28.180 before. The media completely underrepresented or actually didn't represent at all the women who
00:10:35.580 were so fired up after watching the Kavanaugh hearings and not for Dr. Ford, but for Kavanaugh,
00:10:42.900 female voter enthusiasm among Republicans went up past female voter enthusiasm for Democrats,
00:10:50.480 according to I think it was. Dang it. Who was the author of that poll? I'll have to look it up for
00:10:56.360 you and I'll I'll post a link if you guys are interested in that. It went up past the Democrats,
00:11:01.560 which is incredible, considering that all we've heard is that women are going to take down Trump.
00:11:07.520 Women are so angry. Women are rioting in the streets. Women are going to be the reason why
00:11:11.880 Trump doesn't win or why Republicans don't win in the midterms. I'm not so sure that's true.
00:11:16.960 You don't know about us suburban women. You just don't know. We're really unpredictable. Honestly,
00:11:23.060 though, suburban people are very unpredictable. It's hard to say which way that we're going to vote.
00:11:27.400 I've been surprised. For example, I live in the suburbs. The number of people that are voting for
00:11:31.460 Beto around me. I live in a pretty red district. It's you just don't know. I still think that Ted
00:11:37.900 Cruz is going to win, by the way. So how Democrats and Republicans have been talking about the midterms
00:11:45.880 and trying to win the midterms has been really telling about what each side values. I'm not even
00:11:52.520 saying that in a necessarily bad way. It's just true. It indicates a lot of what their principles are
00:11:57.840 and what they think their constituents or what their base votes for. So you have the Democrats
00:12:03.960 talking about political violence and about how this is Trump's America. Every single instance of hate
00:12:10.160 that you see, whether it's the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, whether it is the bombing
00:12:18.020 scares that that random weird guy sent out to CNN and all of the Democratic leaders and influencers,
00:12:25.700 whatever instance of hate that you see in this country, it is because of Donald Trump. Donald
00:12:29.980 Trump's rhetoric is what is inciting all of this violence. He is pushing all of these people into
00:12:34.960 madness and into disarray. He is why we are so divided. So that is the violin that they are playing.
00:12:40.860 And you see Republicans playing a different violin, which is that of the caravan. Now the caravan is
00:12:45.900 still, I think, a thousand miles away. So it's probably a couple months out. President Trump sent
00:12:50.800 troops down to the border. Of course, they're calling this a crisis. They're calling this an
00:12:55.140 invasion. They're talking about all of the criminal activity that they're seeing in the caravan, that
00:13:00.520 these are not just innocent people seeking asylum, that they might be, you know, nefarious criminals
00:13:06.940 that are coming in to do us harm or might do harm once they're here. So that is the drumbeat that
00:13:13.760 Republicans have. Now, here's the difference, because you have both sides criticizing the other
00:13:18.000 for this line of rhetoric. You've got the left saying to the right, that's not true at all.
00:13:22.600 This is not an invasion. No one's coming to get you. No one's going to do you any harm. These are
00:13:27.760 poor, ragged refugees that are just trying to make it here for a better life. And how dare you turn
00:13:36.100 them away, you bigoted, awful racists? And then we've got the right looking at the left and say,
00:13:41.340 how how dare you blame Donald Trump for all of this violence when we didn't blame Bernie Sanders for
00:13:47.860 James Hodgkinson shooting Steve Scalise and other Republican congressmen, even though he supported
00:13:54.160 Bernie Sanders. That doesn't make any sense. And of course, being the biased person that I am,
00:13:59.220 I typically land on the side of conservatives in this argument. I don't think it makes any sense
00:14:03.960 whatsoever for CNN to blame Fox News and conservatives for inflammatory rhetoric, but not
00:14:09.440 take into account their own hyperbole, their own apocalyptic rhetoric that they spout on a daily
00:14:14.720 basis about conservatives. However, I understand the criticism of the right saying that, you know,
00:14:20.940 this is this is not this is not an invasion. This is not happening right now. The only reason why
00:14:26.740 President Trump and the right is saying that the caravan is a crisis is to get votes to scare
00:14:32.620 people. It's fear mongering. OK, I understand that. So let's listen. Let's listen a little bit
00:14:40.400 to what each side to what each side to what each side has to say. Let's first listen to our good
00:14:46.940 friend, our good, good friend Don Lemon talk about the real problem in all of our division and all of
00:14:54.620 our political violence. So we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this
00:15:02.040 country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. OK, OK, so let me just get this straight.
00:15:12.260 We are not demonizing people. We're definitely not demonizing people. That's the wrong thing to do.
00:15:18.740 But white men are terrorists. OK, that that makes that makes a lot of sense. Don't demonize people.
00:15:25.960 Oh, white men are terrorists. OK, got it. Perfect formula. Thank you so much. And then here's another
00:15:31.460 example on CNN of a very astute analyst saying that Donald Trump is worse than ISIS. This president
00:15:42.540 has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did. I mean, the way he talks, the way he the way
00:15:49.120 he is. That's just it's the way. OK, so that's that's the line of reasoning that we're getting from
00:15:55.960 people on the left, that Donald Trump has radicalized more people than ISIS, that it's Donald
00:16:01.240 Trump and his white supremacist men that follow him that are causing all of this horrible division
00:16:08.660 and all of this chaos, all of this anarchy that we're seeing in our country. And of course,
00:16:12.740 the implication there is if you don't want our country to keep going in this violent,
00:16:17.000 tribalistic direction, then you need to vote for Democrats and you need to vote against Donald
00:16:21.380 Trump. OK. And then we do, though, just to be fair, just to be fair, we've got some kind of
00:16:27.880 crazy exaggerations maybe happening on the right as well. Here is an example of a commentator on Fox
00:16:34.960 News talking about the caravan and they're coming in with diseases such as smallpox and leprosy and
00:16:41.380 TB that are going to affect our people in the United States. So I think if you listen to the whole
00:16:46.060 thing, this is on Charles Payne's show making money. If you if you listen to the whole thing,
00:16:51.600 he has, I think, very reasonable points. But then he talks about how they're bringing
00:16:56.300 smallpox and leprosy. And I just don't know if one, we have any proof of this. This was also
00:17:00.820 said on Lou Dobbs' show. A guest of Lou Dobbs said that and smallpox, I'm pretty sure it was
00:17:06.420 eradicated in 1980. So it kind of seems a little bit like fake news. So you see why someone from
00:17:12.560 the left, especially someone who is pro illegal immigrant or pro caravan would see that and be
00:17:19.100 like, OK, they're just trying to incite fear. They are just hate mongering. They're just anti
00:17:24.080 immigrant. They're just trying to make us scared of these brown people coming in. And so they're
00:17:29.640 making up things like these people are bringing smallpox. So you can see that kind of criticism
00:17:34.940 from the left to the right. Here's the difference, in my opinion, though, between the left saying that,
00:17:40.600 OK, Trump and Republicans are responsible and Fox News, by the way, I'll get to that clip in a second,
00:17:46.580 is responsible for this political violence. There's a difference in that and the right saying,
00:17:51.440 OK, the caravan is a crisis and we need to take care of it. The difference is the caravan
00:17:56.880 is somewhat of a crisis. Now, that in and of itself, I don't think they're going to storm
00:18:01.280 our border and, you know, pillage our homes. That's not going to happen. I do think that most
00:18:07.140 of them are refugees. They are making this journey because they're fleeing something really scary
00:18:13.260 and really hard. And so they're coming for a better life. I'm sure that's true of the majority
00:18:19.680 of them. But illegal immigration, unless these people are just going to the points,
00:18:23.320 the ports of entry and are claiming legitimate asylum, if they're trying to cross our border
00:18:28.560 illegally, that is a crisis. And for Democrats to say that it's not a crisis, that it's perfectly
00:18:33.900 fine, that we should let these thousands of people in without knowing their backgrounds,
00:18:37.620 without knowing their criminal history, without knowing if they can contribute to society in any
00:18:41.780 meaningful way, that's wrong. So Republicans are right to be worried about illegal immigration.
00:18:47.480 We are right to be worried about a caravan. We are right to want to secure our borders.
00:18:52.120 That does not mean we're racist. It has nothing to do with race. I think we would hopefully we'd
00:18:57.260 feel the same way if a group of Canadians were coming in and going to cross our borders illegally.
00:19:05.220 We care about that. And it's legitimate. It's logical. And it doesn't mean that you lack
00:19:09.780 compassion. It doesn't mean that you don't want to help these people in some way. But it just means
00:19:13.920 that you care about the people in our country. You believe in the rule of law. You believe in
00:19:18.140 securing our borders and keeping our country safe and keeping our country a country, which requires
00:19:22.820 borders. So that's how Republicans feel. And we do generally kind of we are appealed to by this idea
00:19:31.660 that illegal immigration and this caravan is somewhat of a crisis because we don't believe in
00:19:37.440 illegal immigration. We think it's immoral. We think it's wrong. And we think it makes a mockery of
00:19:41.000 our laws. So at least there's some truth to that. Now, there isn't really any truth on the left to
00:19:47.700 Donald Trump and Republicans and conservatives inciting violence, especially when you look at
00:19:53.220 something like the Tree of Life shooting. OK, the first guy who planted the bombs, Hillary Clinton and
00:19:58.700 whoever else, Robert De Niro, he was a Trump supporter. So I could see how someone would make the
00:20:04.520 link. Now, I still think that it's unfair considering that we didn't blame Bernie Sanders for the
00:20:10.920 attack on a Republican congressman. But I could see how someone would kind of make that connection.
00:20:17.120 But this idea that the Tree of Life shooting, that any instance of racism or any instance of violence
00:20:22.500 or hatred is linked to Republicans is just not true. It's not true. It's hypocritical. And it so lacks
00:20:29.780 any kind of self-awareness. But here is what morality guru, our moral Sherpa, Brian Stelter has to say
00:20:40.520 about how, you know, Fox News needs to be needs to be a little bit more introspective about all of
00:20:46.800 this. I sure hope some of those Fox hosts, some of those commentators take a moment, take a minute
00:20:51.800 to think about their role in this environment. Hopefully there's some soul searching right now
00:20:56.860 in the wake of this massacre. See, that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a complete
00:21:01.940 and total lack of self-awareness. I think some a lot, actually, of Brian Stelter's criticism
00:21:09.500 of President Trump is fair from his perspective. Like, I don't hear him a lot. Just, I mean,
00:21:16.260 not that much making up stuff that's completely untrue. Now, does he exaggerate? Does he emotionalize
00:21:21.860 things? Absolutely. But I think that a lot of his criticism is fair and a lot of his arguments are
00:21:29.240 fair. However, this idea that you can point fingers at another network or at another side
00:21:35.580 for inciting violence that we or Fox News needs to do some soul searching, but CNN doesn't,
00:21:42.600 that is insane. Like CNN is the same network where a guest said that Kanye West is like an inward,
00:21:51.860 that can't read. Um, and Don Lemon laughed at that and thought it was hilarious. It's the same
00:21:57.680 network where someone said that Donald Trump has radicalized more people than ISIS. So if anyone
00:22:04.820 needs to do some soul searching, maybe it's CNN. I mean, at least Fox is willing to have conversations
00:22:10.320 with people from the other side. I don't see that on CNN quite as much. Now, I'm not saying that Fox
00:22:15.360 News is perfect. I don't work for Fox News. I don't have a reason to defend Fox News or anything like
00:22:20.300 that. Uh, but for any network to point to another network and say that they need to do soul searching
00:22:25.900 because they're inciting violence is ridiculous. And that I think is what is going to turn this
00:22:31.820 election in a direction that the Democrats didn't see coming in a direction. The Democrats do not like
00:22:37.420 is the media, the utter hypocrisy, the utter duplicitousness, the dishonesty from the media,
00:22:44.760 the lack of self-awareness, the lack of the ability to say, wow, maybe, maybe some people
00:22:51.100 think differently than I do. If CNN could just take stock of their own thoughts for a second. And I
00:22:56.160 know, I know for a fact that CNN lives in an echo chamber in which they think that they have the most
00:23:01.420 integrity are the best and the most honorable and the most vigilant journalists out there. If they could
00:23:06.760 just take a second and take a step back and say, okay, there are moral, good, generous, kind people
00:23:15.060 out there who support Donald Trump and they're not evil. They're, they're not racist. They have real
00:23:22.180 concerns. They have valid worries that are different than ours and they're not out to get us. They're not
00:23:29.880 out to get all people of color. They don't hate immigrants. Maybe they just have different priorities
00:23:34.540 than we do. I think that would solve so much, but they're unable to do that. CNN thinks that they are
00:23:40.220 better than you. That is why their ratings suck. They think that they're better than you. Um, I don't
00:23:46.600 get that quite as much from Fox or MSNBC. Now I don't like MSNBC. I think that Nicole Wallace is one of
00:23:53.580 like the worst anchors in the world, but for their target audience, I can totally see why they like
00:24:00.820 MSNBC because they feel like they're on the same level. Rachel Maddow. If you are a leftist,
00:24:06.260 like you feel like you can relate to her, Chris Hayes. If you are a leftist, you feel like you can
00:24:10.500 relate to him. You don't feel like they're talking down to you. Now they might be talking down to
00:24:14.080 Republicans, but you don't, you don't feel like they think that they're better than you. I don't get
00:24:18.660 that feeling at all from CNN. CNN thinks that they're better than everyone. They think that they're
00:24:23.800 better than everyone. People don't like that. They don't like that. That is why they don't do well.
00:24:30.820 And the same thing with Sean Hannity, why he does do so well. You might not like his show. You might
00:24:35.160 not like what he has to say. He's got the number one in cable news show because I think people feel
00:24:41.200 like he is on their level and people don't feel like he is demeaning them. Like he is talking down
00:24:46.380 to them. Like he is condescending them. He's not going to call you a racist. He's not going to say
00:24:50.660 you're not woke enough, or he's not going to say, because you think differently than him,
00:24:54.740 um, then you must be ignorant or dumb, or you haven't read as many books as he has.
00:24:58.900 He's just not going to do that. Now he might do other tactics that you don't like,
00:25:02.120 but he's not going to do the sanctimonious CNN monologue where like Chris Cuomo, he tells you
00:25:08.560 that Antifa really isn't all that bad because they're fighting against bigots. I mean, they
00:25:13.380 really have turned into a parody. That's why it's so hard for me. It's why it's so hard for me to do
00:25:19.280 any kind of videos that have satire in it because reality is satire nowadays, especially the left.
00:25:27.380 The left is a satire. My democratic ad, for example, there were a few people,
00:25:32.360 most people knew it was real or knew it was fake, knew it was satire. Some people actually didn't
00:25:39.180 know. And I can't even blame people anymore. I used to get so mad when people comment on my
00:25:43.660 Facebook videos and say, you know, this is real. This is such a stupid liberal. And I'd be like,
00:25:49.280 gosh, people are so dumb. They don't understand a joke. How can you not know it's a joke? And I still
00:25:53.860 think that. But you almost can't blame people anymore because Democrats have become a joke.
00:26:01.460 Like they have become so absurd that it's very hard to satirize them and communicate that you're
00:26:09.100 telling a joke. So I almost I can't even I can't be mad at people anymore for for not understanding.
00:26:18.480 So we will see what's going to happen in the midterms. I will be here on Thursday and we will
00:26:28.860 analyze everything and we'll probably talk about some more stuff. I have a lot to talk about.
00:26:33.580 Thanks for listening and I will see you on Thursday.
00:26:36.080 We'll see you on Thursday.
