00:01:29.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's edition of Thought Crime.

00:01:33.000 We've got an extra spicy episode for you tonight.

00:01:36.000 So spicy Charlie's not here.

00:01:39.000 So spicy.

00:01:40.000 Charlie is not here.

00:01:42.000 Charlie is off conducting struggle sessions.

00:01:45.000 But of course, when I say conducting struggle sessions, I don't mean he's the one on struggle sessions.

00:01:50.000 I mean he's the one putting people on struggle sessions.

00:01:54.000 More on that later, but we've got a lot to get into tonight.

00:01:58.000 And for now, Blake and Tyler are here.

00:02:00.000 What's up, Blackpill, Blake?

00:02:02.000 Oh, we're just going to be blackpilling everyone all night and also white pilling everyone. 0.99

00:02:06.000 But, you know, most news is bad news.

00:02:08.000 We should all despair and accept our inevitable demise.

00:02:11.000 We're going to be blackpilling all the media matters guys that are listening in here today.

00:02:15.000 Wait, no, no, no.

00:02:15.000 Tyler, welcome in, Media Matters.

00:02:18.000 You're not Blackpill at all.

00:02:19.000 No, I'm a Tyler's like a big positivity company.

00:02:22.000 He's Tyler Times now.

00:02:23.000 He's teal pill.

00:02:24.000 New York Times, Tyler.

00:02:26.000 New York Times did a massive, what's up with this?

00:02:29.000 Did a massive spread on Tyler this week, and he's like up leading, you know, conducting the forces.

00:02:35.000 Can you can you explain yourself, sir?

00:02:38.000 Yeah, I mean, it was a bad picture of me, but whatever.

00:02:40.000 It's fine.

00:02:41.000 I'll take it.

00:02:42.000 There's no good pictures of it.

00:02:44.000 Yo, real quick, where was your hair in that picture?

00:02:46.000 Like, you're not like Blake, who just doesn't have hair to begin with, but you have generally longer hair.

00:02:52.000 And like, it was like this.

00:02:54.000 Yeah, you were Blake and it was like this.

00:02:57.000 And like, I was wearing this shirt that was probably a little bit too tight.

00:03:02.000 And, you know, it's just like it.

00:03:03.000 So ignore that part if you see the New York Times article.

00:03:06.000 But I think all in all, it was pretty good highlighting the work that we're doing right now on getting ballot chasers into the field in Arizona.

00:03:15.000 And this is what's freaking out.

00:03:16.000 So what's ballot chasing?

00:03:17.000 What does that mean?

00:03:18.000 Yeah.

00:03:18.000 So we're, and this is really critical.

00:03:21.000 You know, we've had this discussion about early voting, why early voting matters.

00:03:25.000 Who should early vote?

00:03:27.000 You know, the big thing that Turning Point Action is really focused on is getting more ballots in the ballot box.

00:03:32.000 Yeah.

00:03:33.000 Real quick while we do this, bring up my screen here.

00:03:35.000 We have this hot box.

00:03:37.000 Let's not.

00:03:39.000 Oh, no.

00:03:41.000 Terrible.

00:03:42.000 Now all of our viewers are blind.

00:03:43.000 Terrible.

00:03:44.000 That's how it is.

00:03:44.000 Horrible.

00:03:45.000 No, it's not.

00:03:46.000 I was trying to.

00:03:47.000 See, Blake, I was trying to spare Tyler the indignity of the photo, but no, the New York Times did the New York Times thing and they wanted to, you know, put a put a not great photo up, but that's fine.

00:04:00.000 That's okay.

00:04:02.000 Because the message of early, early voting and early balloting is out there.

00:04:06.000 The message of early voting is if you vote early, you don't have to stand in line with anyone and you don't need to maybe stand next to Tyler Bowen.

00:04:13.000 Or like what happened in Wisconsin this week on election day where there's a blizzard.

00:04:18.000 What happened in Wisconsin on election day?

00:04:19.000 There was a blizzard and on election day this week on Tuesday.

00:04:24.000 And that's always a problem.

00:04:26.000 So, but you know, our big focus is we want to get out early votes, particularly with low propensity voters.

00:04:33.000 So a big question that people have talked about a lot: well, I like voting on election day.

00:04:38.000 Do I need to change the simple answer is no, as long as you vote, right?

00:04:43.000 Yeah.

00:04:44.000 What I always like to emphasize for this is if you plan to vote early and you forget, you can still vote on election day.

00:04:52.000 But if you want to vote on election day and you forget, you forget.

00:04:52.000 Yes.

00:04:56.000 You get sick.

00:04:56.000 You have a family emergency.

00:04:58.000 A blizzard hits.

00:04:59.000 The power, any number of things that can go wrong.

00:04:59.000 A blizzard hits.

00:05:02.000 You have a work emergency.

00:05:03.000 You have to go out of town.

00:05:05.000 You can't go back in time and vote early.

00:05:09.000 And I think in the big picture, it is correct.

00:05:11.000 We are right to be suspicious of mail-in ballots.

00:05:14.000 Where I think a lot of people go astray is, I don't think the problem with mail-in ballots, to be honest, is that they'll see your envelope and steal it and change the vote.

00:05:22.000 And if they have the capacity to do that, they can probably do a lot of other problems on elections.

00:05:26.000 We don't have time to get into all the reasons why people are suspicious of early voting.

00:05:30.000 However, the most frank and honest argument against everybody early voting is that the Democrats will just fund more chasing to outperform us if we give them a number to hit, right?

00:05:44.000 That's that just makes sense, right?

00:05:45.000 Like if you're in a basketball game, which we'll get to, right?

00:05:49.000 If you're Caitlin Clark, right, and you're hitting a bunch of threes early in the game, they're going to know how much they have to make that up.

00:05:56.000 And so they're going to change their game plan for that.

00:05:59.000 That makes sense, right?

00:06:00.000 That is just a fundamental thing.

00:06:02.000 But they're going to do that anyway.

00:06:03.000 They're going to do that anyway.

00:06:05.000 And the only answer to that, even in that case, is still, you still have to do it.

00:06:10.000 More votes.

00:06:11.000 Because it puts you in this.

00:06:12.000 So because it puts you basically in this prisoner's dilemma of, well, if I don't do it and they don't do it, then I'm okay.

00:06:12.000 Right.

00:06:20.000 But if I don't do it and they do it, then I'm screwed.

00:06:23.000 But I have no leverage over them not doing it.

00:06:25.000 So I must do it as well.

00:06:28.000 And that's, and that's it.

00:06:29.000 That's actually it.

00:06:30.000 So, you know, you can put up the Punnett square of that or whatever.

00:06:32.000 But we distilled this earlier, you know, and we've been doing the slogan, vote early, win early.

00:06:37.000 Just vote early, win early.

00:06:38.000 That's it.

00:06:39.000 Well, and you just, you just said something which is really important, which is leverage.

00:06:43.000 If you throw the kitchen sink at the left, even for those that are the most cynical about the entire process and after seeing the last few elections, with a lot of problems, a lot of rules changed, to be honest, in a lot of these places, if you throw the kitchen sink at the left, you're more likely to make them have to think, rethink their game plan, and you're going to have to make them work harder to win.

00:07:09.000 Another good reason to do it, everyone who votes, you've probably had the annoying experience of getting contacted by people asking you if you've voted or making sure you've cast your ballot.

00:07:19.000 They're doing this because they have a list of people who have voted.

00:07:22.000 That is updated.

00:07:23.000 Public information.

00:07:24.000 That's public information.

00:07:26.000 And they're going to nag you all the way because they have to, you know, turn out, get your vote up.

00:07:30.000 If you vote, they'll stop doing that.

00:07:33.000 Most of them will.

00:07:34.000 Yeah.

00:07:34.000 And that not only makes it less annoying for you, that means every second that we spend nagging a person to vote who was going to vote anyway is sort of a waste of time, a waste of effort for us.

00:07:46.000 Whereas let's say hypothetically, everyone who's a 100% voter voted at the very first day of early voting.

00:07:52.000 Then all your resources, all your effort are spent on marginal votes, people who might not be voting.

00:07:58.000 And on election day, when we have vans and we're like, let's do turnout, we're not driving anyone to the polls who was going to vote anyway.

00:08:05.000 We're only driving those people we tracked down who are favorable to us, but our marginal voters often don't vote.

00:08:11.000 It's just statistical analysis, right?

00:08:12.000 Which is you get more out of the things that you expect least, right?

00:08:18.000 So if you're able to have something happen that is not likely to happen, it makes it harder for your opponent to be able to strategize against it.

00:08:30.000 But that's worth more to you.

00:08:32.000 By a one-for-one, you know, early vote than a later vote doesn't buy you a whole lot.

00:08:40.000 It buys you some confidence, right?

00:08:42.000 But it doesn't buy you anything new.

00:08:46.000 What the left has figured out, and this is the simple, the layman's way of explaining it, is that all of these independents who are becoming honestly more conservative, millennials are becoming more conservative.

00:08:58.000 Independents right now, like Trump is polling, I think, 10, 15 points ahead in some of these polls with independents.

00:09:04.000 They can cancel out all those votes if they can make sure that some left-wing lunatic who never votes, they can turn out that person's ballot.

00:09:12.000 And so our side has to look at this and go, we just got to turn out a right-wing low-propensity vote to cancel out the left-wing vote that they're chasing to cancel out the independent that they're chasing.

00:09:25.000 Does that make sense?

00:09:26.000 So like that's for our side, it's we've got to do this work to match.

00:09:31.000 It's not everything.

00:09:32.000 There's still a number of things that we have to keep an eye on.

00:09:34.000 There's a ton of manipulation happening.

00:09:37.000 But by throwing the kitchen sink, like Jack said, you are creating a new layer of leverage that allows us to win.

00:09:45.000 And it's really critical.

00:09:48.000 And that's worth it.

00:09:49.000 Even if you have to have photos of every awful photo that they put on the front page of the New York Times.

00:09:56.000 That's 10,000 miles.

00:09:57.000 So speaking of throwing the kitchen sink, it's almost like, oh, I don't know.

00:10:02.000 Throwing threes, if you will.

00:10:05.000 Well, actually, we're going to get to that later.

00:10:07.000 We're going to get to Charlie just walked in.

00:10:09.000 Oh, there's someone here.

00:10:10.000 Oh, Charlie has arrived.

00:10:12.000 He's arrived and everything.

00:10:14.000 Before we get to that side, Charlie was held up because he had to get a hat.

00:10:20.000 He was actually removing husks off corn.

00:10:24.000 That's right.

00:10:25.000 I have become a corn husker.

00:10:28.000 How does a hat look, everybody?

00:10:30.000 It is a beautiful thing to bring.

00:10:32.000 Can we tighten the hat?

00:10:33.000 I can't see.

00:10:34.000 Oh, there it is.

00:10:35.000 Yeah.

00:10:36.000 We got to get a tight shot on that.

00:10:37.000 It's my Nebraska Corn Husker hat.

00:10:41.000 Yes.

00:10:41.000 We're all in on the Cornhusker gambit, man.

00:10:44.000 We have a lot of new listeners from Nebraska this week.

00:10:47.000 I think that our downloads have really increased in the great state of Nebraska.

00:10:53.000 Yeah, there it is.

00:10:54.000 You know, they won a national title.

00:10:56.000 You got to check me.

00:10:57.000 1970, 1971, 19, I want to say 84, and then 1995 and 1997.

00:11:08.000 I'm very positive that one of those championships.

00:11:11.000 Am I right, Blake?

00:11:12.000 70, 71, 457.

00:11:14.000 Yep.

00:11:14.000 And they won a rose.

00:11:15.000 All five of those?

00:11:16.000 Yeah, I said, yeah, 84, right?

00:11:17.000 94, 94.

00:11:19.000 No, I thought there was one of the, there's five of them.

00:11:20.000 They have an unclaimed national title in 82 and 83.

00:11:24.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:11:24.000 Yeah.

00:11:24.000 Is that the one where they did the fumble rooski and the Orange Bowl?

00:11:27.000 And then they lost to Miami.

00:11:28.000 Yeah.

00:11:29.000 Well, the unclaimed one, I think, is because there was two separate bowls because they didn't have a playoff back then and they were multiple defeated teams.

00:11:35.000 Don't we just love how college football makes perfect sense?

00:11:37.000 Not that just like college football.

00:11:39.000 It still doesn't make sense.

00:11:40.000 Just like college football doesn't make perfect sense, though.

00:11:42.000 For anyone who's not following the intense, the big story this week in politics, our show basically set off a volcano and now we're getting write-ups in the Washington Post.

00:11:52.000 Oh, everywhere.

00:11:52.000 ABC, the Guardian, just London people noticing this.

00:11:56.000 So wait, wait, wait.

00:11:57.000 You guys launched this and like, I was like, you were doing this on Charlie's show.

00:12:02.000 And then all of a sudden, like, I'm getting ready for my show.

00:12:04.000 And I get blown up.

00:12:06.000 And everybody's like, what's all the Nebraska?

00:12:07.000 I'm like, the Nebraska.

00:12:08.000 What's everybody's talking about in Nebraska?

00:12:10.000 Walk me through how you numbskulls like launched this. 1.00

00:12:15.000 You like set the entire state of Nebraska on fire in the country. 0.96

00:12:18.000 Like on a Tuesday.

00:12:20.000 So here's the truth.

00:12:21.000 I remember a couple of thought crimes ago.

00:12:22.000 I came in and I asked Tyler about it.

00:12:23.000 And you're like, yeah, I don't know.

00:12:24.000 It's kind of dead.

00:12:25.000 And at the time, it kind of was.

00:12:26.000 No, it is dead.

00:12:28.000 It was dead.

00:12:29.000 It was dead.

00:12:29.000 I was like, okay.

00:12:31.000 This is an effort.

00:12:32.000 Wait, what is it?

00:12:32.000 What is this?

00:12:34.000 Let's say Nebraska has no idea what we're talking about.

00:12:36.000 Well, I've done this like 15 times this week.

00:12:38.000 But Nebraska does their electoral votes based by congressional district.

00:12:42.000 So Omaha has become liberal throughout the years.

00:12:45.000 So Joe Biden is almost guaranteed to get an extra electoral vote in the state of Nebraska because they don't go win or take all like 48 other states do.

00:12:51.000 Maine does something similar.

00:12:53.000 And so we, so anyway, that's the context.

00:12:57.000 It could be changed by the legislature.

00:12:58.000 So then we're prepping for the show on Tuesday.

00:13:02.000 It was during the show even.

00:13:04.000 We were just laying out on the show.

00:13:07.000 We were talking about RFK's impact on the race and how the polls are close.

00:13:10.000 And what I did is I went to Real Clear Politics and I looked at the latest polls for each of the battleground states and I just pasted it and it showed Trump up in most of the states and then a few were tied.

00:13:20.000 And I think in Wisconsin, Biden was ahead.

00:13:21.000 And I said, if Biden wins all the states here that he's up or tied, he wins 270 to 268.

00:13:28.000 And then this is what I threw in.

00:13:30.000 I said, or it could be a 269 tie and go to the house if Nebraska gets off its butt and changes its law where they give Democrats a free electoral vote.

00:13:40.000 That is true.

00:13:41.000 And then Charlie's as part of this, wait, tweet that.

00:13:44.000 And so I go and I look it up.

00:13:45.000 And so we whip out, we pump out a tweet and put it online.

00:13:48.000 And we're just looking at it.

00:13:49.000 And there's a bill that's in the legislature that's all stalled out for some reason.

00:13:54.000 And a lot of work went into, you know, getting the bill there.

00:13:55.000 And it's just kind of stalled out.

00:13:56.000 No momentum, nothing.

00:13:57.000 And they've had four years to do this.

00:13:59.000 Well, this has been, this was, this has been discussed for now numerous cycles.

00:14:04.000 Now, there's a greater context than Nebraska.

00:14:06.000 Nebraska has been a fairly moderate state from a Republican standpoint.

00:14:11.000 So they haven't wanted to touch this in a while.

00:14:13.000 Now, the more conservative state party leadership has said, this is the most obvious thing that we should be doing.

00:14:20.000 And they've been talking about this nonstop for the last three years.

00:14:25.000 And so the conservative state party leadership that's there now, we've been working with and having Eric Underwood on quite a bit onto the show and talking with him quite a bit.

00:14:33.000 Now, Charlie's now best friends with Eric on techs with everything.

00:14:36.000 So I'm in the weeds here.

00:14:38.000 In the weeds.

00:14:39.000 So it just kind of was like perfect timing.

00:14:41.000 It was perfect storm.

00:14:42.000 And so we do this thing.

00:14:44.000 We do a segment.

00:14:45.000 So I had this whole show mapped out.

00:14:47.000 And the show was we were going to do three reasons why the Democrats are not doing well.

00:14:51.000 Right.

00:14:52.000 And all of a sudden, I do a segment on the Nebraska thing.

00:14:57.000 And the audience is loving it.

00:14:59.000 So then I do another five minutes on the Nebraska thing and it turns into 10 minutes and it turns into like 20 minutes.

00:15:04.000 And the whole show ends up being about Nebraska.

00:15:06.000 And we sent out a tweet being like, hey, you know, Governor Pillan, do you want to, you know, do something about this?

00:15:14.000 And he came out five hours later.

00:15:15.000 It was like, I support this.

00:15:16.000 Then President Trump comes out is, I support this.

00:15:18.000 This thing just comes to life out of nowhere.

00:15:22.000 And it can be done.

00:15:23.000 I mean, and I want to emphasize how important this is because just so many people don't seem to fully realize this.

00:15:28.000 So let's bring up my computer screen here.

00:15:31.000 So this is 2702win.com.

00:15:33.000 So named because we all know we have the Electoral College.

00:15:36.000 You need 270 electoral votes to win.

00:15:38.000 Keep it up, please.

00:15:40.000 And so, this is the map that we had if we maintain what we had in 2016 or 2020.

00:15:47.000 And so, there's been some changes to the values because we had a census.

00:15:50.000 So, for example, Montana's worth four now.

00:15:52.000 It was worth three.

00:15:53.000 Texas is 40 instead of 38, stuff like that.

00:15:56.000 And so, this was the map as it was then.

00:15:58.000 So, let's say we take back Georgia, we take back Arizona.

00:16:02.000 We're still down here.

00:16:03.000 Now, let's say we take Nevada, where Trump is polling ahead right now.

00:16:07.000 This is the key.

00:16:08.000 Those are the three states that we are polling consistently ahead in.

00:16:11.000 Rust Belt State, sometimes we're ahead, sometimes we're down.

00:16:14.000 It's close.

00:16:15.000 Those three states were consistently ahead.

00:16:17.000 If you look up here, if those are the three we switch, Democrats 270, Republicans, 268.

00:16:24.000 That's because there's this one vote in Nebraska that went for Biden in 2020.

00:16:29.000 And if it goes that way again, they'll have it.

00:16:31.000 Now, if we make this not the case, if we made it so Nebraska was winner-take-all, it's 269, 269.

00:16:38.000 And if it's a tie, it goes to the House of Representatives.

00:16:41.000 Each state House delegation gets one vote.

00:16:44.000 You do ballots until someone wins.

00:16:47.000 With the current House setup, that would be a Republican win.

00:16:50.000 And even if we lose the House, odds are quite good.

00:16:53.000 It would still be a Republican win because California's got a million Democrats, but there's still only one vote.

00:16:57.000 That's true.

00:16:58.000 Well, and there's two keys here that you have to be focused on.

00:17:01.000 One is that if Nebraska does this, not only does it change potentially the outcome of the worst case scenario on election day, but it changes how the Democrats have to campaign, right?

00:17:14.000 Because if Nebraska does this, it makes Nevada more important to Republicans, right?

00:17:21.000 And I'm not saying this.

00:17:23.000 We love Segal Chata.

00:17:24.000 We love Mike.

00:17:25.000 We love all our people, Jim.

00:17:27.000 In most scenarios right now, Nevada is just not useless.

00:17:32.000 It either means we fall just short or we're already spilling over.

00:17:35.000 Like we have.

00:17:36.000 Nevada is usually like a nice to have thing that is something where Republicans will put up some effort, but it's not usually crucial.

00:17:46.000 Well, there's two things here, right?

00:17:47.000 So remember, there's not Nevada's not a populated state.

00:17:51.000 It's not a highly populated state, smaller than all the other swing states.

00:17:54.000 And then the second part is you have Maine too, which is really not populated, right?

00:18:00.000 So if Nebraska does this, what this does is it forces the Democrats to have to win Maine as a total.

00:18:08.000 They have to spend money in Maine that they don't want to spend, that already they could potentially lose because Trump's so popular in Maine too.

00:18:14.000 That's one.

00:18:15.000 Two is Nevada where they have all the workers, everything with all the unions, but now they're going to have to spend exorbitant amounts of money when Republicans don't care about Nevada because now all of a sudden Republicans are going to go, you know what?

00:18:28.000 Nevada is a lot easier to win for us than Wisconsin.

00:18:31.000 So maybe we'll go all in on Nevada or all in on Nevada and Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin.

00:18:40.000 And it screws up everything for the Democrats.

00:18:43.000 This is the reason why Nebraska matters so much to this conversation and we know it.

00:18:48.000 If you don't do this in Nevada, not only could you potentially lose by one electoral college vote because they'll put everything into Maine.

00:18:55.000 And I don't have the faith that we, the Republican Party, can survive World War III in Maine too.

00:19:02.000 Well, the thing about Maine, yeah, I mean, if they were to try to respond and change their rules in Maine, there's like a ballot signature.

00:19:10.000 So I checked into this.

00:19:11.000 So this is the amazing thing.

00:19:12.000 So this is how this could get really exciting really quick.

00:19:15.000 So let's say we get Nebraska.

00:19:18.000 Don't even get us into the procedural issues we're running into.

00:19:20.000 We'll elaborate on that.

00:19:21.000 I don't even know if that's worth talking about.

00:19:23.000 It's not worth it.

00:19:23.000 It's more fun to talk about this.

00:19:25.000 We'll do that on the show tomorrow.

00:19:26.000 We'll assume we motivate these people and we get this past.

00:19:29.000 Here's the essence.

00:19:29.000 If they want to get it done, they can get it done.

00:19:31.000 That's it.

00:19:32.000 People want to get it done.

00:19:32.000 So if they want it enough, they get this done.

00:19:35.000 And currently, we don't know.

00:19:36.000 Obvious retaliation if we get this out of Nebraska is that in Maine, that's controlled by Democrats right now.

00:19:42.000 They would introduce same thing.

00:19:44.000 They would get rid of their non-winner-take-all system.

00:19:47.000 And so we'd have all 50 states winner-take-all.

00:19:49.000 They would cancel out.

00:19:51.000 But here's the fun part.

00:19:53.000 Both of these states, both Maine and Nebraska, allow voters to collect signatures to challenge a law passed by the legislature and say, we need to have the public vote on this.

00:20:02.000 A lot of states have this.

00:20:04.000 And in both of them, what you can do is if you gather enough signatures, you can delay the implementation of the law until it's been approved by voters.

00:20:14.000 You can just pause it and say this law doesn't take effect.

00:20:17.000 But I checked the exact amounts.

00:20:19.000 In Maine, you need to get a number of signatures equal to 10% of the vote in the last gubernatorial election.

00:20:28.000 So I think in Maine, that would work out to about 68,000 votes.

00:20:30.000 I think they had about 600-some thousand votes.

00:20:32.000 They have an off-year election cycle.

00:20:34.000 So 10% of the votes in the gubernatorial election to delay the law.

00:20:38.000 That's an easier threshold to hit.

00:20:39.000 And that would be what we'd want to do because we're trying to keep an electoral vote.

00:20:43.000 In Nebraska, you need 10% of all registered voters, which is a much bigger pool of people.

00:20:52.000 It's probably about twice as big, I would guess.

00:20:55.000 And for them to be able to delay the implementation.

00:21:00.000 So we could conceivably have it where we would be able to, even if they both passed this law, we could have ours be going into effect consistently, whereas theirs would get delayed one election cycle.

00:21:11.000 And by the way, our Maine people have said that's never going to happen because even the Republicans in Maine want to keep it.

00:21:18.000 Democrats in Maine, it's a historical thing they want to keep it.

00:21:22.000 So I still think that, and I'm just thinking about that person who's in, you know, listening out there that's like, okay, this all sounds interesting and very exciting, but so what?

00:21:31.000 You know, Nebraska, Maine, we're not talking about major states here, talking about one vote here, one vote there.

00:21:36.000 Why does one electoral college vote in Nebraska matter so much?

00:21:42.000 I mean, the 1877 presidential election with Rutherford B. Hayes is decided by one electoral vote.

00:21:46.000 Yeah.

00:21:47.000 And as we said, it's two, if we had those three states flip, it's 270 to 268 right now versus 269, 269 if we have this.

00:21:55.000 And if we assume Republicans can win a House election, which is not a sure thing, but more than 50% chance, we're basically looking at whether we do this or not might be the difference in whether we win the 2024 election.

00:22:09.000 Or just because of how it affects the map, flipping that one electoral vote is literally like winning one additional state just there.

00:22:17.000 Yes.

00:22:18.000 Yet Omaha, it's like we won a free extra state in this election.

00:22:21.000 And what it does too, it shifts your entire strategy.

00:22:25.000 So it creates what we were calling this earlier, the Sunbelt strategy.

00:22:28.000 So you pick up.

00:22:28.000 You've got Nevada.

00:22:29.000 Now you've got now you've got Nevada, boom, which has been trending our way because of this Hispanic swing that we're seeing. 0.98

00:22:35.000 I'm not saying that I feel safe about Nevada.

00:22:38.000 And we can fix this.

00:22:40.000 We can fix this if we all want to.

00:22:41.000 It's as simple as that.

00:22:42.000 Now, Donald Trump and the Republicans can get to 269, 269 just with the Sun Belt and not even any of the Rust Belt states outside.

00:22:55.000 So that means the Democrats have to defend.

00:22:57.000 Well, yeah, I mean, the swing Rust Belt states.

00:23:00.000 The blue wall.

00:23:01.000 The Democrats have to defend every single one of them.

00:23:04.000 And all Trump has to do is win one.

00:23:07.000 Can I add this real quick?

00:23:09.000 Huge.

00:23:09.000 The reason why this matters so much too, on top of that, and I get we've repeated this again.

00:23:14.000 We should just pull this map up because I think it's versus the Sunbelt strategy for our side.

00:23:20.000 Our side is not as prepared, right?

00:23:23.000 The left has had a coordinated strategy to reinstate the blue wall because of this knowledge that they're so they're they're planning on competing for cd2 because they want that congressional vote.

00:23:36.000 It's an easy thing for them, right?

00:23:38.000 Because you can't leave this off the map too.

00:23:40.000 That congressional vote is an easy, I mean, we have a really tight, narrow Congress right now.

00:23:47.000 CD2 in Nebraska is winnable for them, so they're already putting in resources there.

00:23:51.000 So we're just giving them free reign to spend $10 million plus dollars to win a congressional seat plus an electoral college vote.

00:24:01.000 But this jibes perfectly with their blue wall strategy.

00:24:06.000 What this does that's why it's so that's why they're freaking out at the level there.

00:24:09.000 We have some tape too.

00:24:10.000 I want to play.

00:24:11.000 It throws absolute chaos into this track.

00:24:13.000 This is the power of our program and the power of all what we're doing here.

00:24:16.000 Because look, you could tell if we were onto something based on their reaction.

00:24:20.000 If we do this and all of a sudden it was met with, oh, who cares?

00:24:23.000 Okay, then it's a nice thing.

00:24:25.000 No, no, no.

00:24:25.000 All of a sudden, they woke up the next morning on MSNBC the next morning.

00:24:31.000 I don't know what we have up on screen there.

00:24:32.000 We have like a picture in picture there or something.

00:24:34.000 They wanted me to have the map up.

00:24:35.000 Okay, let's let me try to find this piece of tape here.

00:24:39.000 Okay, it is cut one.

00:24:41.000 This is, it takes away Biden's best path to victory.

00:24:46.000 It's that simple.

00:24:47.000 Play cut 59.

00:24:48.000 So, Jim, it is never too early to talk about 270, the magic number.

00:24:52.000 And there's some development.

00:24:53.000 Let's talk about the map.

00:24:54.000 Yeah, let's talk about the map for a second because there's a buzzing about certain about Nebraska right now.

00:24:58.000 The governor there has thrown his support behind an effort that would no longer allocate the electoral votes by congressional district.

00:25:04.000 Because right now, it's five votes there.

00:25:06.000 Technically, Republicans get four, and President Biden, Democrats get the one from Omaha.

00:25:10.000 That's right.

00:25:10.000 If that changes, and we don't know that it will, the state legislature is going to look at it.

00:25:13.000 But if that changes, that takes away Biden's best path to win.

00:25:17.000 Because if you get, if he wins, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, but loses the other swing states and no longer picks up the one in Nebraska, 269.

00:25:27.000 That leads playbook this morning.

00:25:29.000 The alarm among Democrats that this is possible.

00:25:33.000 Leeds playbook.

00:25:34.000 Let me just say, it's not just possible.

00:25:36.000 I'm not going to get into any inside baseball.

00:25:37.000 Number one, I'd bore you to death.

00:25:39.000 Number two, it's changing real time.

00:25:40.000 Number three, I'm not going to divulge any strategy because that's not the way you win.

00:25:44.000 Let me just tell you the essence.

00:25:45.000 I just tweeted this out.

00:25:47.000 After over six hours of calls and texts with countless people in Nebraska over the last 48 hours, here is the takeaway.

00:25:54.000 If lawmakers want to get it done, it can be done.

00:25:59.000 There is a very clear path to make Nebraska winner-take-all.

00:26:02.000 If it doesn't happen, it's because there wasn't enough will to win.

00:26:06.000 It's that simple.

00:26:07.000 I've gone through every parliamentarian argument you could imagine, right?

00:26:11.000 Blake, let's not reveal any of the stuff.

00:26:13.000 We won't reveal the strategy, but I want to get to the we're not calling for anything unconstitutional, anything legal, anything unprecedented.

00:26:23.000 Let's just be clear: we're not calling for anything even remotely to what the Democrats did in 2020, where they contorted election law to do goofy stuff, right?

00:26:31.000 We're talking about like letter of the law by the book.

00:26:35.000 It might require a couple extra hours of work.

00:26:38.000 Yeah.

00:26:39.000 This is totally doable.

00:26:41.000 We're talking nothing more extreme than what Republicans did to get Gorsuch on the Supreme Court.

00:26:46.000 Let me just emphasize: I went deep into this stuff today and I walked away with there's a clear path.

00:26:52.000 Can I just say something?

00:26:53.000 It's laughable on MSNBC.

00:26:55.000 They're talking about, oh my gosh, they're trying to change rules in an election year.

00:27:00.000 Guys, we are literally many, many moons out here from the election.

00:27:06.000 First off, this doesn't even fall within the Supreme Court initiated rule, which is really within the months before the election.

00:27:13.000 But let's just rewind back to 2020 when Democrats were trying to force everyone to vote by mail within the last few weeks before the election, and all the courts in all these different states had to strike it down.

00:27:26.000 The ruling question is the one almost every state follows.

00:27:30.000 Exactly.

00:27:31.000 It's not like it'd be one thing if we were trying to go to a state that currently was winner-take-all and make them go.

00:27:38.000 That would be not at least not doing dangerous stuff with the system.

00:27:42.000 It'd be illegal, but this is just like, hey, like in Nevada, if we try to do that in Nevada right now, right?

00:27:46.000 Which we don't even have the political power to do that or whatever.

00:27:48.000 But all right, I want to tell you guys about Rumble Cloud.

00:27:50.000 I do want to talk more about Nebraska in a second.

00:27:51.000 I want to emphasize this point because I think the will to win has been the takeaway.

00:27:57.000 I hope it's there.

00:27:58.000 I know it's there with the Nebraska grassroots.

00:28:01.000 I know it's there with the people of Nebraska.

00:28:03.000 I know it's there with the governor and the senator.

00:28:06.000 And I want to make sure it's there with the lawmakers.

00:28:08.000 I pray.

00:28:08.000 Are you getting tired of a surprise when you see your cloud services bill every month?

00:28:56.000 So I just want to, this is, you know, this is hard for me to explain because I've been, I mean, texting like crazy.

00:29:04.000 And I, I explained, somebody called me.

00:29:07.000 They said, Charlie, what do you mean that some of them don't have the will to win?

00:29:13.000 Who wants to take that?

00:29:15.000 I'll take it.

00:29:16.000 I mean, I've been talking with the Nebraska GOP guys for some time.

00:29:22.000 And, you know, we have Fanchon that's there and Eric.

00:29:26.000 But I mean, look, they described it really well.

00:29:30.000 And we had some of this problem in Arizona where we had a very establishment Republican-held state for many years that didn't want to rock the boat.

00:29:37.000 They didn't want to do things that would ultimately long-term benefit the Republican Party because even though they had a trifecta in their state and all the political capital in the world to expend and everything else, it was more about just being liked with lobbyists and being liked with people who are, you know, very establishment governors who are doing these deals in the background with Democrats and everything else.

00:30:01.000 And that's what you have going on.

00:30:03.000 We all know that.

00:30:04.000 That's the uniparty stuff that we talk about that drives people crazy.

00:30:08.000 And to be fair, Donald Trump is the art of the deal, guys.

00:30:12.000 So there's deals and then there's defending America.

00:30:16.000 There's deals and then there's defending the Republican Party and making sure your state is in good hands for another generation.

00:30:22.000 And I think part of the issue is that people are now seeing through this very particular lens that's been brought up with this issue is that, oh my gosh, these people in Nebraska who claim to be Republicans are not focused on saving the country.

00:30:38.000 And this is like the part that, you know, we don't have to get into this, but what if we lose 270 to 268?

00:30:46.000 What if we lose by one electoral college vote?

00:30:49.000 What does that mean?

00:30:50.000 Well, you know, we've got a really great couple of Supreme Court justices that are conservative who are probably not going to be able to last another four years and we can't expect that.

00:30:59.000 Or they might even pass in office because they're too old, right?

00:31:04.000 That means that we could lose the Supreme Court if we have another four years of Joe Biden.

00:31:09.000 They could add two more states in DC and Puerto Rico.

00:31:13.000 They could pack the Supreme Court.

00:31:15.000 They could use all these different things that we will legitimately lose the country for an entire generation, all because of potentially one electoral college vote.

00:31:25.000 Even if that's a 0.0001% chance, you have to act.

00:31:30.000 And so, again, the will has to be there when you have the vision of like, well, what's the worst that could possibly happen?

00:31:38.000 And how realistic, what's the likelihood it could happen?

00:31:41.000 This is not a like, oh, well, this is a crazy thing.

00:31:44.000 What Blake has seen is something that people, political scientists have been looking at for many years.

00:31:49.000 This is a real possibility.

00:31:51.000 And what's also a real possibility is what the Dems will do if they get total control of the country.

00:31:58.000 It is, it's very eye-opening, but it could look.

00:32:02.000 Here's the thing: this thing was dead.

00:32:05.000 We've already seen a lot of these lawmakers that were against it flip.

00:32:08.000 So this thing could be flipped even more.

00:32:10.000 And it just takes the will.

00:32:13.000 You know, some people say, oh, you know, we've tried our best.

00:32:16.000 And hold on.

00:32:18.000 No, no, no, no.

00:32:19.000 There is so much that could be done.

00:32:22.000 And we'll just leave it at that.

00:32:24.000 Well, I'll say this, Charlie.

00:32:26.000 Can you imagine if you were a legislator in Nebraska?

00:32:29.000 And by the way, like Charlie said, there's so many people stepping up to do the right thing.

00:32:33.000 Finally, if the 11th hour, whatever, there's a perfect storm that's going to happen with this week.

00:32:40.000 And we were kind of laughing about it earlier, but it really couldn't have happened a month ago.

00:32:45.000 And it may not have happened at all had Trump not become the nominee as early as he did.

00:32:49.000 But we won't get into all those different things.

00:32:51.000 But can you imagine if they do nothing and that and that 1%, 5%?

00:32:59.000 If we lose by one electoral vote after we could have fixed this, I think it's not just possible.

00:33:06.000 The polling shows that's probable.

00:33:08.000 It's the polling.

00:33:09.000 It is probably, I don't want to say it's probable in the sense that it's over 50%.

00:33:13.000 It might be the most likely single outcome of this election right now.

00:33:17.000 Yes, I totally agree.

00:33:18.000 The most likely outcome based on all publicly available polling is this.

00:33:22.000 And let's talk about why.

00:33:23.000 The Rust Belt has declining populations with loose voting laws that are tilting down.

00:33:29.000 Democrat governments, Democrat governments.

00:33:32.000 And the Rust Belt was taken by surprise in 2016, and they have like a huge infrastructure.

00:33:38.000 The Sun Belt, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada have increasing populations of right-wingers moving to their states.

00:33:45.000 Totally.

00:33:46.000 Right?

00:33:46.000 We have revitalized state parties, and we have the ballot chasing in Arizona, and Nevada is out for revenge.

00:33:53.000 So the Sun Belt is different than the Rust Belt.

00:33:55.000 So holy moly, you run the math.

00:33:57.000 It just so happens you're catching lightning in the bottom.

00:34:00.000 Another reason is polls indicate Hispanics are moving to the right. 1.00

00:34:03.000 We're catching all those in Nevada.

00:34:05.000 There are very few of those in the Rust Belt.

00:34:07.000 Very few.

00:34:08.000 And so you have Nevada, you have Arizona, Texas, which won't be a problem.

00:34:13.000 Georgia, which I think is going to course correct. 0.99

00:34:15.000 And so it's, it's, like, I want you to emphasize again, based on data, it's the most likely outcome right now.

00:34:22.000 Exactly.

00:34:22.000 If you, it's not, we're not saying this will happen.

00:34:24.000 We're not saying this happens a majority of the time.

00:34:26.000 But if you imagine we run this election, let's run the election 10,000 times.

00:34:31.000 The scenario where Trump flips Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and no other states is probably the one that will appear the most often.

00:34:41.000 And then in that scenario, right now, with Nevada as it is, we lose Joe Biden's president.

00:34:46.000 And if you change that to Nevada, not Nebraska, if we change Nebraska to the system we want, Trump basically Trump would win.

00:34:54.000 And here's the thing: if you get to 269 tie, the president has enough tails that the House would be Republican.

00:35:01.000 So meaning that that new House would not be, even if it's a Democrat House, it'd be close enough.

00:35:06.000 I think it's the pre-existing one.

00:35:07.000 No, I think because it's the current one.

00:35:10.000 It's the current seat of the House.

00:35:12.000 The House goes over January 3rd.

00:35:14.000 It is get seated.

00:35:16.000 It's seated.

00:35:16.000 Oh, it's the new seated house.

00:35:18.000 Well, because here's what happens.

00:35:19.000 And they do it immediately.

00:35:20.000 So I thought there was an argument over there.

00:35:22.000 So, well, on January 6th of the 2025, ah, he said it.

00:35:27.000 Well, it's just the date that it's going to happen on, right?

00:35:30.000 It's the first Tuesday.

00:35:31.000 Oh, he's going to say it again.

00:35:32.000 Okay, well, let's see.

00:35:33.000 Is it actually that date?

00:35:34.000 Let me see.

00:35:35.000 I thought the congressional members get seated.

00:35:37.000 January.

00:35:37.000 Okay, it's actually constitutionally.

00:35:40.000 It's actually January 8th, I think, this year.

00:35:43.000 But because I think Congress begins on January 3rd.

00:35:48.000 No, I know.

00:35:48.000 I'm looking at the calendar.

00:35:49.000 So January 3rd, whatever date it is where they count the votes, they're going to bring it in, and whoever oversees it, which will be Kamala Harris at the time, will say, okay, we have a deadlock tie at 269, and we'll know this going into it.

00:36:02.000 Unless there's faithless electors, which we have to, you know, think about.

00:36:06.000 That could happen.

00:36:06.000 That can happen.

00:36:07.000 That's a thing, right?

00:36:08.000 So 269, 269, and all of a sudden the House will then convene into little pockets.

00:36:14.000 And at that point, I still think the president of the Senate, Kamala Harris, is overseeing the procedure.

00:36:19.000 I don't think it's a Speaker Johnson thing, but the House is the new House at that point.

00:36:24.000 The House votes.

00:36:25.000 So it's the new.

00:36:26.000 My delegation.

00:36:27.000 Yeah, it's the new House.

00:36:28.000 It's not the old House.

00:36:29.000 So whatever we do at the House.

00:36:31.000 So to give you an idea, Harriet Hageman from Wyoming would have the same amount of vote as the entire California delegation, 55 members. 0.96

00:36:42.000 And that just makes so much chaos.

00:36:44.000 Anyone who's from one of those one-person states, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont on the other side, Delaware, Rhode Island, Rhode Island, I think, lost theirs.

00:36:53.000 But I think that if every red state.

00:36:56.000 Alaska's a Democrat now.

00:36:57.000 Let's flip that back.

00:36:58.000 Oh, that's interesting.

00:36:59.000 Well, so if you look at the numbers, because you break down the numbers, we would still be fine even with Alaska being right now.

00:37:05.000 We win with the 24-7.

00:37:06.000 I think we would win with the 24th.

00:37:07.000 We'd win with the current.

00:37:08.000 So then it gets really fun.

00:37:10.000 The Senate selects the vice president.

00:37:13.000 And the Democrats have that.

00:37:14.000 And it's in the new senators.

00:37:15.000 But hold on.

00:37:16.000 If Trump were to get to a 269 tie, it's reasonable to think that we'll win West Virginia and we'll probably either win Maryland, Ohio, or Montana.

00:37:25.000 Hogan is up like eight points in Maryland.

00:37:26.000 He's raising a lot of establishment money.

00:37:29.000 Would Hogan want Trump's VP?

00:37:31.000 Hogan could be the kind of guy.

00:37:32.000 I can just see so much chaos stuff.

00:37:33.000 Imagine you have, imagine the Democrats worry about, and you have like one faithless elector because they're saying that they outlawed faithless electors.

00:37:41.000 I don't know if that's true, though.

00:37:42.000 But not every state's done it.

00:37:44.000 Not every state has done it.

00:37:45.000 So imagine we have one faithless elector for vice president.

00:37:49.000 Just go with this.

00:37:51.000 The guy willing to go to jail for this.

00:37:52.000 One person does a faithless vote for vice president.

00:37:56.000 You pick from the top three under the 12th Amendment for both offices.

00:37:59.000 And if you have no president chosen, the vice president.

00:38:03.000 Well, we would know that ahead of time because the Electoral College meets in December and then the electoral votes are brought to, but the Congress doesn't vote until that point.

00:38:11.000 No, that's right.

00:38:12.000 No, so we would know ahead of time.

00:38:13.000 We would know.

00:38:13.000 So let's say someone does this where they throw out a gambit and they do one faithless vote for vice president for someone, making them eligible to be picked in the Senate.

00:38:22.000 And then you have Democrats and Republicans collude to have this person chosen as vice president, and then someone deadlocks the president vote.

00:38:30.000 Yeah, the president vote happens first, I think.

00:38:32.000 I think the president vote happens first.

00:38:33.000 The president vote happens first.

00:38:34.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:38:35.000 Kamala Harrison decides she's not going to be able to do that.

00:38:36.000 I think he can possibly deadlock it. 1.00

00:38:38.000 So Kamala Harris would preside over her own potential appointment as vice president. 0.89

00:38:43.000 Let's go wilder. 1.00

00:38:43.000 What if someone does it for president itself? 1.00

00:38:45.000 Because you need the majority.

00:38:46.000 So let's say it was 269, 269.

00:38:48.000 You could have a Biden vote, vote for someone else, and it wouldn't guarantee a Trump win.

00:38:52.000 And then you have a third candidate.

00:38:54.000 Let's say someone goes, I pick Mitt Romney.

00:38:56.000 Do you guys see how important Nebraska is?

00:38:57.000 I pick Mitt Romney for president.

00:38:59.000 And then suddenly delegations can vote for him.

00:39:01.000 But it can't, but that's only if it's the top three votes.

00:39:04.000 Exactly.

00:39:05.000 But if you have one faithless elector.

00:39:06.000 No, it has to be one.

00:39:07.000 It has to be the top three vote.

00:39:09.000 Top three voters.

00:39:10.000 We only have two vote getters normally.

00:39:12.000 I think it's more likely that you'd have a faithless elector for Kennedy.

00:39:15.000 So maybe.

00:39:16.000 So then let's combine all of that together.

00:39:18.000 What does it mean?

00:39:19.000 It means that if we flip the Senate, we could end up getting our VP of choice.

00:39:26.000 The House, I don't think that they would defect on Trump.

00:39:28.000 The House is more conservative.

00:39:30.000 I think they would.

00:39:30.000 They're more accountable to primaries because it's every two years.

00:39:34.000 So I think the House would stay pretty strong.

00:39:36.000 Yeah, there's no Senate.

00:39:38.000 The Senate cuts deals, man.

00:39:40.000 Like this.

00:39:41.000 Now, if Shay wins in Montana and flips that tester seat, and Justice will vote fine because he likes Trump and their buddies, you get to 51 votes as the Senate.

00:39:53.000 You get to decide the vice president of the United States.

00:39:55.000 But I can't remember how it works because the split states would vote against each other.

00:39:59.000 So those you mean the House?

00:40:01.000 No, it's for the VP vote.

00:40:03.000 What do you mean?

00:40:04.000 Oh, for the Senate.

00:40:05.000 No, that's, I think, no, no, every senator gets a vote.

00:40:07.000 Every senate gets a vote.

00:40:09.000 Yeah, it's not every state.

00:40:10.000 So they don't do it by delegation for the VP.

00:40:12.000 I don't think it's possible because you have split states.

00:40:15.000 Right.

00:40:15.000 Is that correct, Blake?

00:40:17.000 Sorry.

00:40:17.000 Think about it.

00:40:18.000 It's not by delegation for the Senate.

00:40:19.000 So think about a state like Maine where you have Susan Collins. 1.00

00:40:22.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:40:22.000 The senators vote individually. 1.00

00:40:23.000 That's what I think.

00:40:24.000 Only the House votes.

00:40:24.000 The House votes collectively as each state.

00:40:26.000 Okay, that's what I thought.

00:40:27.000 So people are saying, well, what does all this mean?

00:40:32.000 Nebraska.

00:40:33.000 Nebraska.

00:40:34.000 That's it.

00:40:34.000 And Maine.

00:40:35.000 And Maine too.

00:40:36.000 They're coming for you next.

00:40:38.000 If this thing happens in Nebraska.

00:40:40.000 They won't.

00:40:42.000 We'll put up a fight.

00:40:43.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:40:44.000 If this thing happens in Nebraska, where we get it back to winner take all, that's fantastic.

00:40:49.000 But you have to know in Maine, if you live in Maine, too, like World War III is happening in your backyard.

00:40:55.000 So let me just, again, I want to just close with this and then we'll get to the other topics.

00:40:59.000 Tuesday, we're going to Nebraska, which I think our event is now more important than we could have ever imagined.

00:41:04.000 It's huge.

00:41:05.000 If you live nearby, please attend.

00:41:07.000 We need people.

00:41:08.000 We want to max out attendance.

00:41:11.000 It's in Omaha at the Lord of Hosts Church.

00:41:14.000 We're doing it at church.

00:41:15.000 It is Nebraska, after all.

00:41:17.000 So, and it's at 7 p.m.

00:41:20.000 We've invited the governor.

00:41:21.000 We've invited the legislatures, legislators, I should say.

00:41:25.000 I've tweeted out the information.

00:41:27.000 You guys could check it out at tpaction.com/slash rally.

00:41:31.000 Bring a friend.

00:41:31.000 We want a huge turnout.

00:41:33.000 That's tpaction.com/slash rally.

00:41:36.000 Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, Nebraska this coming Tuesday.

00:41:40.000 All right.

00:41:41.000 Now, Kansas City, Sioux Falls.

00:41:43.000 You're in driving range.

00:41:44.000 Yes.

00:41:45.000 However, happy to have our out-of-state friends.

00:41:47.000 We want this to be Nebraska-centric.

00:41:50.000 You're right, Jack.

00:41:50.000 But we really want to send a message of CD2.

00:41:54.000 Yeah, we want to get the most Nebraskans in a room possible. 1.00

00:41:58.000 Now, this cause is so important.

00:42:01.000 Can I get someone?

00:42:01.000 I'll tell you the link real quick: tpaction.com/slash rally, tpaction.com/slash rally, tpaction.com/slash rally.

00:42:08.000 Go register right now.

00:42:10.000 This cause is so important that we already got someone to make a musical pitch for what needs to happen.

00:42:17.000 Is that right?

00:42:18.000 It's true.

00:42:18.000 So let's play.

00:42:19.000 Oliver Anthony wrote a song about it.

00:42:21.000 Basically, let's play 100.

00:42:23.000 It's like his younger brother, actually, or excuse me.

00:42:25.000 In the heartland of America, where the sun sets on the plains, there's a state called Nebraska where a change is long overdue.

00:42:33.000 We've been splitting our votes, torn apart by our choice.

00:42:37.000 But it's time to come together and let our voices rejoice.

00:42:42.000 No more dividing lines, no more electoral divide.

00:42:46.000 We need a winner, take all for the good of our pride.

00:42:51.000 Every vote should count.

00:42:52.000 Every voice should be heard.

00:42:55.000 Let's unite as one.

00:42:56.000 Let's spread the word.

00:42:59.000 Nebraska. 0.98

00:43:04.000 Switch to winner, take all, and let democracy.

00:43:17.000 I'm not making it up.

00:43:18.000 So the podcast here, we did that.

00:43:20.000 There's a new AI machine that can make songs about a minute long.

00:43:24.000 Don't say the name.

00:43:26.000 I won't say it because it'll shut up.

00:43:27.000 Can I ask you a question?

00:43:28.000 I'm not kidding.

00:43:29.000 The Omaha to Lincoln, Carney to Scottsbluff.

00:43:31.000 The AI came up with that.

00:43:33.000 Can I?

00:43:34.000 And how long did it take?

00:43:35.000 Oh, it takes like 20 seconds.

00:43:36.000 Can we get a rap version together that says that we're going to eject Nebraska from the union if they don't do this and we lose?

00:43:45.000 We're kidding.

00:43:45.000 No, we're not even going to be able to do that.

00:43:46.000 That's going to be aggressive.

00:43:47.000 I love Nebraska.

00:43:48.000 I'm wearing the hat.

00:43:49.000 Listen to me right now.

00:43:51.000 If we lose by one electoral college one.

00:43:53.000 Let's just stay positive.

00:43:54.000 It's going to have positive.

00:43:55.000 I'm not positive.

00:43:56.000 I'm just saying.

00:43:59.000 If there will be no country left in this.

00:44:02.000 I want to.

00:44:02.000 Then we go country in our country.

00:44:04.000 Let's make sure they know that.

00:44:06.000 We need you guys.

00:44:07.000 We need Nebraska to do the right thing.

00:44:09.000 The Democrats will ban country music.

00:44:11.000 They will.

00:44:13.000 Charlie might too, but he's not running for president.

00:44:15.000 This is why AI should get on the rap.

00:44:18.000 For, you know, if what happens if that song is, I got to play that on the show tomorrow.

00:44:24.000 Oh, yeah.

00:44:24.000 Well, we've got it.

00:44:25.000 We've got it ready to go.

00:44:26.000 All right.

00:44:26.000 Let's get to other topics here and start to commit some thought crimes.

00:44:29.000 All righty, for sure, for sure.

00:44:30.000 Okay.

00:44:31.000 Time for a thought crime topic.

00:44:32.000 Is women's basketball a real sport, Charlie?

00:44:35.000 I'll say I was, I'm a, yes, yes, it is.

00:44:38.000 But I'm a skeptic, I was a skeptic of Caitlin Clark.

00:44:40.000 I'm a big basketball fan.

00:44:42.000 I was like, all right, what is all this hype?

00:44:43.000 What is all this nonsense?

00:44:44.000 Because I thought it was an op.

00:44:46.000 And I am a very, very strict grader. 0.90

00:44:49.000 She can ball, man. 0.55

00:44:50.000 She's very, very good. 0.98

00:44:52.000 Now, is she good against men?

00:44:53.000 Probably not. 0.98

00:44:55.000 But no, I'm saying like if she had to compete against like other college men, but there's difference between men and women.

00:45:01.000 She's really talented and impressive under pressure.

00:45:04.000 Like the amount of pressure.

00:45:06.000 Here's what I respect about her. 1.00

00:45:07.000 She's selling on arenas. 0.99

00:45:09.000 She's like player of the year.

00:45:11.000 She lost national title last year. 0.95

00:45:13.000 She's Midwestern work ethic. 1.00

00:45:14.000 She's like works her tail off. 1.00

00:45:16.000 They have ads that they're running non-stop for her. 1.00

00:45:18.000 And she still performs at a high elite level. 0.97

00:45:22.000 Here's a stat to blow you up. 1.00

00:45:23.000 I think she's great.

00:45:24.000 It was in the Elite Eight game against LSU this on Monday night.

00:45:28.000 Yes, LSU.

00:45:29.000 They're a bunch of bumps.

00:45:30.000 12.3 million people watched on ESPN.

00:45:33.000 Wow.

00:45:33.000 That is more than all but one game in the NBA finals last year.

00:45:39.000 And it's more than the final game of the World Series.

00:45:42.000 Yeah. 0.53

00:45:42.000 And just so you guys understand, Caitlin Clark shoots 44% from the field. 0.53

00:45:49.000 That's unbelievable.

00:45:50.000 All right.

00:45:51.000 That's also like, Blake, that's also like 50 times more people than watch all of the RNC debates combined.

00:45:58.000 That's true.

00:45:58.000 So I was like, okay, what is this op?

00:46:02.000 Like, what are they pushing?

00:46:03.000 All I see is they're pushing.

00:46:04.000 They're pushing this like wholesome, like really sweet, hardworking Midwesterner that was just is really good at basketball.

00:46:14.000 Like, I actually think for once there's an op where there isn't an agenda.

00:46:17.000 And it's kind of funny.

00:46:18.000 And I'm kind of like supportive of it.

00:46:20.000 It's kind of funny because you kind of think of like really aggressively pushing women's sports. 0.98

00:46:25.000 Maybe a little bit, you know, left-wing coded. 0.96

00:46:27.000 Yes. 0.99

00:46:27.000 But the places that like women's sports the most are actually often sort of conservative, rural, Midwestern states. 0.99

00:46:34.000 That's where it's really taken off.

00:46:36.000 Here's a crazy fact.

00:46:37.000 Like Nebraska, in Nebraska, for example, they fill up, I think Nebraska's women's volleyball team, they can fill up like a 60,000 person arena to watch that.

00:46:47.000 They filled up the entire Husker Stadium for the largest volleyball event.

00:46:51.000 They broke a record.

00:46:51.000 They broke the Guinness World Book record.

00:46:53.000 It was like 111,000 people.

00:46:55.000 Yeah, just turn in.

00:46:56.000 And what's kind of great is it actually is a perfect pairing because if you, a lot of places, they're not going to consistently compete in like men's basketball where there's like established powers.

00:47:06.000 But if you really want to, you can carve out, you know, and be a consistent title contender in volleyball, in badminton, in some of these secondary sports.

00:47:16.000 And that's pretty neat, I suppose.

00:47:18.000 No, I just, I hope she wins the national title.

00:47:21.000 I know nothing about her politics or any of that, but I just, she is someone that I, under pressure, you average 32 points a game and you shoot 46% from the field with a lot of people thinking that you're going to choke.

00:47:37.000 It's pretty risky.

00:47:38.000 People are complaining that there have been not like thought crimes this episode.

00:47:41.000 So I'm just going to do a drive-by on everyone.

00:47:43.000 Basketball is a lame sport.

00:47:44.000 Okay.

00:47:45.000 How could you say such?

00:47:46.000 What do you mean?

00:47:47.000 What's the definition of lame?

00:47:48.000 Okay, first of all, too much sporing.

00:47:49.000 Do you like soccer?

00:47:50.000 One, one.

00:47:51.000 Yes, too much sporing.

00:47:52.000 So you like scoring.

00:47:54.000 No, you know what would make basketball perfect?

00:47:57.000 Is if a higher rim.

00:47:59.000 No, if you made them all play on ice and you turned the ball into like a rubber object and they could hit it.

00:48:06.000 I can't, of course, I can't play basketball.

00:48:08.000 Well, you don't like basketball.

00:48:09.000 Here's the thing.

00:48:10.000 Something like 20% of people who are seven foot tall or more play in the NBA.

00:48:14.000 I hate that.

00:48:14.000 That means NBA is like just a height sport to a skill title.

00:48:17.000 I have had more blood, sweat, and tears drawn.

00:48:21.000 I played a lot of sports.

00:48:22.000 I grew up playing every sport like a lot of American kids.

00:48:26.000 You play soccer, you play baseball, you play basketball.

00:48:29.000 I was the worst at basketball.

00:48:31.000 The worst.

00:48:32.000 I played other sports better.

00:48:33.000 I wasn't that great at some other sports.

00:48:34.000 I played lacrosse.

00:48:35.000 I played everything.

00:48:36.000 I've had the most fond memories, straight up American memories with my dad playing in front of our house on the hoop, with my son playing horse.

00:48:47.000 I've got more fights with kids at school playing and all that.

00:48:52.000 There's no, we got in this argument.

00:48:54.000 There's no more American sport because it started here in America and it's now invented by a Canadian.

00:49:00.000 A Canadian American.

00:49:01.000 Oh, no.

00:49:02.000 See, that was not invented by Kansas.

00:49:04.000 Basketball is the most American sport.

00:49:06.000 Naismith was a Canadian?

00:49:09.000 He was a professor.

00:49:10.000 No, Naismith was in Kansas.

00:49:12.000 He was a Canadian American.

00:49:13.000 It was at Kansas.

00:49:13.000 Where was he born?

00:49:14.000 He's right.

00:49:14.000 He was born in Kansas.

00:49:15.000 In Al Monte.

00:49:16.000 But he province of Canada.

00:49:19.000 But it was on the American continent, Blake.

00:49:24.000 Didn't Naismith invent it in Kansas?

00:49:26.000 I believe he invented it as well as a modern game.

00:49:28.000 Springfield, Massachusetts.

00:49:31.000 But he said he had some.

00:49:32.000 It was supposed to be like a new team.

00:49:34.000 He was founded.

00:49:34.000 He was supposed to be like a basketball program.

00:49:35.000 He's their only head coach with a losing record.

00:49:38.000 Even though he's the one that invented basketball.

00:49:40.000 Yes.

00:49:41.000 He has a losing record as Kansas basketball coach.

00:49:44.000 But here's my argument is that basketball is not actually a modern game.

00:49:49.000 Those are just modern rules to a very ancient game.

00:49:52.000 And you can find ancient, and Blake, you and I were chatting about this the other day off air, like ancient Mesoamerican ball game, which includes a court, which includes a giant ring and a ball that is thrown into the ring that have been around for like thousands of years.

00:50:11.000 And the Mayans used to play this game.

00:50:13.000 And we have pretty strong evidence, by the way, and the courts are still there.

00:50:17.000 You can go visit them when you visit these things, Chijinita.

00:50:20.000 It's all there.

00:50:20.000 And we have pretty strong evidence that rituals were also part of the competitions.

00:50:26.000 And human sacrifice at one point was part of the games as well.

00:50:30.000 I would support basketball a lot more if the losing team or the winning team, we're actually not sure with those ancient Mayan ball teams.

00:50:36.000 It's actually not killed.

00:50:38.000 They did that with Lake Cross.

00:50:38.000 Which side?

00:50:39.000 Lay cross to the gods.

00:50:43.000 If you I would support basketball more if we did that.

00:50:45.000 But no, here's the problem with basketball.

00:50:47.000 One, they score too much.

00:50:48.000 Like if you watch ESPN highlights, yes, but not in a football game, like in a football game, the most exciting play might be in the first quarter because there's an amazing deep pass or an interception or a kickoff return.

00:50:59.000 In basketball, if you watch the highlights, it's always just like, oh, and then he does a sick junk, and it's worth the same amount as so many other people.

00:51:06.000 You have no respect for the beauty of the game. 0.81

00:51:08.000 No, I don't.

00:51:09.000 There you go.

00:51:10.000 You have no respect for the little parts of basketball from crossing somebody else or a beautiful cut or, you know, a steal.

00:51:19.000 Well, it leads us to a two or three point score.

00:51:22.000 But it doesn't matter.

00:51:23.000 There's too much scoring.

00:51:24.000 It's too low.

00:51:25.000 So you must be like a, again, like a massive soccer or golf fan.

00:51:29.000 I don't like soccer either because soccer goes too far the other way, where a 0-0 tie is too common.

00:51:34.000 The best sport is football.

00:51:36.000 Football is clearly the best sport.

00:51:37.000 Football is better for football.

00:51:39.000 They score, you know, football is like the closest thing we have to like a simulation of war where it's like pure brutal compact contact compact, but also contact, but also like a lot of strategy and a lot of plans.

00:51:53.000 It's the difference between warfare, like, you know, in the interesting way boys like to read about, basketball is war in the sense like you're two tribes from New Guinea who are like, you send your five big men, we send our big men, and they like just fight and then one of them wins.

00:52:07.000 No, that's not that exciting.

00:52:08.000 Just because you're tall doesn't mean you win.

00:52:10.000 It's not true.

00:52:12.000 Muggsy Bogs. 1.00

00:52:13.000 Okay, name another short player.

00:52:16.000 Steve Nash wasn't that short.

00:52:17.000 Steve Nash is like Steph Curry is not tall.

00:52:19.000 I'm taller than Steph Curry.

00:52:21.000 Steve Nash was like six foot, six one.

00:52:21.000 Yeah.

00:52:24.000 Rayjon Rondo, Kyrie Irving.

00:52:26.000 And that's on the program.

00:52:27.000 He's like actually six.

00:52:29.000 I'm probably taller than Michael Jordan.

00:52:32.000 I don't think, isn't he 6'6 ⁇ ?

00:52:34.000 He's like 6'6 ⁇ .

00:52:34.000 I think he's like a rounded program.

00:52:35.000 He's like a rounded up six.

00:52:37.000 Now he's like 6'3.

00:52:39.000 Yeah, 6'6 ⁇ officially.

00:52:40.000 That's a rounded up 6'0.

00:52:41.000 LeBron is 6'9.

00:52:43.000 LeBron's definitely.

00:52:44.000 You don't need to be seven foot tall, but the number of Muggsy Bogses in the world. 1.00

00:52:49.000 Yeah, Jalen Brunson went to St. Pretty small.

00:52:51.000 They might have even just kept his career going so he could be in Space Jam.

00:52:54.000 I mean, it's definitely changed in the recent years, but I will say this: is that, and this is really important, another important point.

00:53:00.000 I like basketball because if you watched entire seasons, it's right in between football and baseball.

00:53:06.000 The one thing I hate about football, I hate, is it's like one shot, it's like one loss elimination during the playoffs in most cases.

00:53:15.000 And you have such few games that you're not actually, it's kind of like it's a little bit more of a Russian roulette season.

00:53:22.000 That's exactly what's so beautiful about it.

00:53:23.000 You never want to miss an NFL game or a college game.

00:53:26.000 No, baseball's too much.

00:53:28.000 Baseball is annoying because basketball, they literally pass rules to stop teams from just sitting their players because the regular season matters so little.

00:53:37.000 NBA, I think, is awful, unless it's the playoffs.

00:53:40.000 College basketball is legitimately a beautiful sport in the month of March.

00:53:45.000 College basketball now is all messed up because we have the transfer portal.

00:53:49.000 That's not nice.

00:53:50.000 You get drafted after one season.

00:53:51.000 No one's at their school for more than a year.

00:53:54.000 So?

00:53:54.000 It's lame.

00:53:56.000 That's lame.

00:53:57.000 You think that if you go to a school and a coach leaves, it should just be a death sentence?

00:54:01.000 Well, I just think it should be.

00:54:03.000 Oh, sorry.

00:54:04.000 You're stuck at.

00:54:05.000 I think it's lame that we have this fiction that these people represent their schools as student half-hold on a second when they're just mercenaries who show up for one year.

00:54:12.000 The SEC player of the year is a guy by the name of Dalton Connect.

00:54:15.000 He was an average player at university, Northern Colorado, average.

00:54:19.000 And all of a sudden he popped up to like six foot six, worked his tail off, transfers to Tennessee, SEC player, has a chance to go to the NBA.

00:54:25.000 If he said Northern Colorado, the other guy, the guy that worked, played for Oakland, he's at Hillsdale, D2, transfers to Oakland, crushes like 18 threes against Kentucky.

00:54:36.000 I think the transfer portal is great for kids that want to be.

00:54:38.000 Do you think it's going to be great if we eventually have this?

00:54:41.000 Now we can pay players where we have a guy, he starts D2, then he goes to a lower D1, and then someone offers him 300K to play for us next year at, let's say, Alabama, goes to Alabama, then he does even better, and he stays for a senior.

00:54:54.000 Pays him a million dollars to play at Duke, and he's a different school every single year.

00:54:59.000 That's silly. 0.53

00:55:00.000 Why is that? 0.53

00:55:01.000 Hold on, but why are we having taxpayer-funded institutions?

00:55:04.000 Let's look at what the old model was even worse.

00:55:07.000 You know what it was?

00:55:08.000 The best players left after one year, and John Calapari would just recruit the best guys and they'd leave, rinse, and repeat.

00:55:14.000 Now you have to like build a roster.

00:55:16.000 You have transfers that can come in as a junior.

00:55:18.000 It's much more into player development.

00:55:20.000 I would make an argument that the portal is better for basketball than football.

00:55:24.000 Football, I agree.

00:55:25.000 Football, it's a disaster.

00:55:26.000 It's like a mess right now.

00:55:27.000 Football is outrageous.

00:55:28.000 I think basketball is actually.

00:55:29.000 I think who's more upset about football because you're a bigger football fan. 1.00

00:55:33.000 So you realize, you realize cosmically how stupid this is. 0.99

00:55:37.000 If every player is in Oregon winning a national title, it's a great thing. 1.00

00:55:42.000 If not, burn it down.

00:55:44.000 Go big red. 0.84

00:55:45.000 Someone says I'm a monster truck kind of guy, and they're kind of right. 0.92

00:55:48.000 Monster trucks are cool.

00:55:49.000 What's next?

00:55:50.000 This is a crazy story.

00:55:52.000 Out of the Netherlands, a physical from the New York Post.

00:55:56.000 A physically healthy 28-year-old Dutch woman has decided to legally end her life. 0.91

00:56:03.000 Has she done it yet? 0.79

00:56:04.000 Not yet, I believe.

00:56:05.000 Well, if she's listening, don't do this.

00:56:08.000 She struggles with crippling depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder, she says.

00:56:15.000 She lives, she says she's in love with her boyfriend and her two cats.

00:56:19.000 40-year-old boyfriend.

00:56:21.000 40 year old boyfriends, two cats.

00:56:22.000 I have a real question.

00:56:23.000 Has someone checked her vitamin D level?

00:56:24.000 I mean, Netherlands doesn't get a lot of sun, and low vitamin D levels leads to higher depression.

00:56:28.000 I mean, has someone like scanned her brain to see that if she had a traumatic brain injury?

00:56:31.000 She says doctors told her, quote, there's nothing more we can do for you.

00:56:35.000 That is never going to get BS.

00:56:37.000 First of all, like conventional doctors sometimes aren't the solution.

00:56:42.000 Like there's 500 different ways.

00:56:44.000 By the way, I'm not a huge fan of it, but there's amazing data to show that ketamine can really help depression.

00:56:49.000 A lot of people like ketamine treatment that could be done intravenously.

00:56:52.000 I hate this attitude.

00:56:53.000 Just give up at age 28 because you're depressed. 1.00

00:56:56.000 What I really wonder is: can you imagine how much of a drag this woman must be? 1.00

00:57:01.000 No, no, but let's talk about it. 1.00

00:57:02.000 I can just say the doctor is just like, look, woman, you're still complaining. 0.99

00:57:06.000 It's probably never going to get any better.

00:57:07.000 And now they have, now they have this legal out where they can just say, have you considered the suicide pod?

00:57:13.000 That was my point, which is it's the psychiatrist that should be put in prison.

00:57:16.000 Like, who is this person that just gives up on their patient? 1.00

00:57:20.000 Why don't you just kill yourself? 1.00

00:57:21.000 Like, you're annoying me. 1.00

00:57:22.000 This is genuine.

00:57:24.000 To being entirely serious, this is why I think euthanasia has a huge problem with it.

00:57:28.000 We are normalized.

00:57:29.000 That's not how you sound like.

00:57:30.000 Can we fix that?

00:57:31.000 No, it is because it's young people.

00:57:33.000 Oh.

00:57:34.000 It's a play of words.

00:57:35.000 It's also a mega death.

00:57:36.000 It's a play of words.

00:57:38.000 And anyway, it's oh man, you lost my train.

00:57:42.000 No, we're creating death as a viable treatment for people.

00:57:46.000 They're doing this in Canada.

00:57:47.000 We're doing this where, okay, we've gone from you are a sick person that we desire to help to sort of you're a you know, it's like a maintenance ticket we've received, like make the problem go away.

00:57:58.000 And then you can do that by curing them or just, you know, shuffle them into the social media.

00:58:01.000 So I don't know what I hate more, the fact that she's doing this or the warm media reaction to it.

00:58:06.000 I mean, if you read these headlines, News 18, 28-year-old Dutch woman to legally end her life in May.

00:58:12.000 This is her story.

00:58:13.000 So wait a second.

00:58:14.000 In May, why are you waiting?

00:58:16.000 Like, I mean, you want like a whole media cycle before you do this?

00:58:19.000 This is so perverse.

00:58:20.000 This is so twisted.

00:58:22.000 There's so many Instagram followers for this.

00:58:24.000 But it's just, and by the way, the Netherlands just legalized euthanasia in 2001.

00:58:28.000 I think there was the first one.

00:58:29.000 This is all Dr. Kvorkian stuff.

00:58:31.000 And for a doctor to say there's nothing I could do for you, resign.

00:58:34.000 Have you tried every treatment under the sun?

00:58:36.000 Or have you just tried like SSRIs and benzodiazepans and Prozac or Zolof?

00:58:40.000 And by the way, Jack, we know this, right?

00:58:42.000 If you have meaningful relationships, regular diet and exercise improvements, increase your vitamin D levels.

00:58:47.000 In fact, that stuff has been proven to be more effective than antidepressants.

00:58:51.000 Yet this doctor's just giving up on her.

00:58:52.000 Yep.

00:58:53.000 Charlie, you and I were chatting about this the other day.

00:58:56.000 Charlie's big on the vitamin D stuff.

00:58:58.000 I went for a vitamin D IV just last week and found a place that was right near us.

00:59:05.000 I pulled up the price.

00:59:06.000 I was like, oh, that's actually a lot better than it.

00:59:08.000 See, this really got big during COVID, and the price was pretty high.

00:59:13.000 And a lot of it's become more normalized.

00:59:16.000 A lot of it comes down.

00:59:17.000 I don't drink.

00:59:18.000 There's a lot of people who do these for hangovers and different things like that.

00:59:21.000 But it's just so easy.

00:59:24.000 And this is not something that any doctor is ever going to suggest you go for.

00:59:30.000 No one's going to say, go exercise, go spend more time outside, go take some nutrition, go take your vitamins.

00:59:37.000 You'll never hear that.

00:59:38.000 Why?

00:59:38.000 Because part of it is because they get paid more based on the amount of prescriptions they write.

00:59:44.000 But the other part of it is that, and Charlie, you know about this as well, that they're not trained to do anything else.

00:59:51.000 They're only trained a certain way in the medical schools to teach to the medicine.

00:59:57.000 Yes.

00:59:57.000 I mean, and they go straight to the literature and they say the literature shows SSRIs, benzos.

01:00:03.000 And if that doesn't work with a little bit of maybe therapy, why don't you just kill yourself? 0.99

01:00:06.000 How defeat is this is so twisted? 1.00

01:00:09.000 It is.

01:00:09.000 It's really, and every single warning sign of how the slippery slope could happen if you do this has all come true.

01:00:15.000 So it starts off with this will only be for old people who are terminally ill.

01:00:19.000 Yes.

01:00:20.000 And then it becomes, oh, you're not warned against people.

01:00:23.000 And then it says, oh, well, some people are just suffering mentally a lot.

01:00:28.000 And then eventually you start getting into, do we really need to ask their permission for it?

01:00:32.000 Every single horror case you can heard of, you've heard of has already happened in the Netherlands.

01:00:35.000 We've had cases where they've done it to kids.

01:00:38.000 We've had cases where they've done it without actually asking their permission, including ones where they just think, you know, the patient, we really think the patient would have wanted this, but it would have really troubled them to ask.

01:00:50.000 You take people who already have a God complex, which is medical professionals, and you've literally said, well, you know what MD stands for.

01:00:57.000 Yeah.

01:00:57.000 Minor deity.

01:00:58.000 Yeah.

01:01:00.000 You know, you know what the joke they say is the difference between surgeons and God?

01:01:06.000 The surgeons charge.

01:01:07.000 God doesn't go around thinking he's a surgeon.

01:01:09.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.

01:01:12.000 Well, there's a bigger play here, too, which is, again, we saw all the documentation when Agenda 21 came out many, many years ago about lowering populations.

01:01:23.000 We see what's happening in Europe or Europe.

01:01:25.000 European populations have significantly declined.

01:01:28.000 And you just have to expect that euthanasia has always been this like dream of the left and those that want to limit population growth.

01:01:37.000 It's remarkable.

01:01:38.000 And if they'll do that to their own population in the Netherlands, guess what they'll do to you?

01:01:43.000 But like, who are these people that all of a sudden, so that you read the article, she says, I want to die without any music sitting on my couch.

01:01:50.000 Who are the people that just show up?

01:01:52.000 Hey, we're here.

01:01:53.000 We're here from the euthanasia department for the government of Netherlands.

01:01:58.000 How are you today? 0.96

01:02:00.000 Like, what sort of greeting do you give when you're like, hey, oh, yes, we're about to murder you.

01:02:05.000 How's it going?

01:02:06.000 Get in the pod, please.

01:02:08.000 Or let's take your blood pressure.

01:02:10.000 Like, why would you have to take your blood pressure? 0.99

01:02:11.000 You're about to kill them.

01:02:12.000 Like, what is like, what do you do with why do they sterilize the needles? 0.98

01:02:17.000 Yeah, I mean, exactly.

01:02:18.000 What, how sick you must be? 0.95

01:02:21.000 Yes. 0.97

01:02:22.000 Like, what, by the way, you, this would torment you.

01:02:25.000 I would think if you're like a professional euthanasia person and you go to people's homes and you just murder them for a living.

01:02:31.000 Oh, yeah, today I did five, you know, heart-stopping IVs.

01:02:37.000 It was a great day at work, honey.

01:02:38.000 It's horrible.

01:02:40.000 I think it's the idea.

01:02:41.000 Like, if you, if you showed up in a costume or something and you're like, you're pretending to be something else, oh, I'm here just to check the meter.

01:02:49.000 And you, you know, you go in, you go, it's like, aha, I just tricked you.

01:02:52.000 And then popped in with the syringe or something.

01:02:55.000 You're like, oh, yes, it was me.

01:02:57.000 Today's the day.

01:02:57.000 Because that way it's like you're not doing it yourself.

01:03:01.000 That way it gives people like a way out and they could say, oh, well, you know, I'm not doing it because I don't know what they.

01:03:07.000 This is insane.

01:03:08.000 Like, it's so insane to even that we even have conversations.

01:03:11.000 Like, it sounds like a Saturday Night Live sketch or like a really weird body fight.

01:03:15.000 There's a former Dutch prime minister, Dries van.

01:03:21.000 I can't pronounce this.

01:03:22.000 It all sounds like you're vomiting.

01:03:23.000 That's right.

01:03:24.000 So this Dutch prime minister and his wife, just a month ago, or two months ago, early February, they did euthanasia together.

01:03:34.000 Are you serious? 0.91

01:03:35.000 They're like, oh, let's just die together. 0.99

01:03:35.000 They just timed it. 0.99

01:03:37.000 And then they just took their pill and died.

01:03:39.000 What is this cult of death?

01:03:41.000 Charlie brought up something.

01:03:42.000 I mean, I've been through, you know, putting a dog down, which is an awful experience.

01:03:48.000 It is horrible.

01:03:50.000 Yes, it is like, I don't wish that upon anybody.

01:03:52.000 It sticks with you.

01:03:53.000 Yes.

01:03:54.000 Like, I would rather my dog just die naturally 100%.

01:03:58.000 Without me being there.

01:03:59.000 That was like one of the worst things ever.

01:04:01.000 But people, they say, like, oh, no, it's so much better for your dog today.

01:04:06.000 It sticks with you.

01:04:07.000 It doesn't uplift you.

01:04:09.000 It makes you feel awful.

01:04:10.000 I agree.

01:04:10.000 People, people that swan, like this beautiful experience.

01:04:14.000 I said, you're a six-man being if you thought it's beautiful to kill your dog. 0.99

01:04:18.000 It is horrible. 0.96

01:04:18.000 And they do that. 0.96

01:04:19.000 They come in and they sit next to you and you watch your dog die and you'll never forget it.

01:04:25.000 And I just can't imagine, like you said, I can't imagine doing that with another human being that you know, I think we should for a living.

01:04:32.000 But first of all, we should hope that this girl changes her mind.

01:04:34.000 Okay.

01:04:35.000 You don't have to go through with it, young lady, just because there's all these articles.

01:04:38.000 You can change your mind.

01:04:39.000 Number two, shame on the Netherlands for allowing this.

01:04:39.000 Okay.

01:04:42.000 Like, I don't want to hear that modernity is this like wonderful thing. 0.94

01:04:45.000 If we're allowing like widespread euthanasia of otherwise healthy 28-year-olds, she doesn't have a tumor.

01:04:54.000 And you know, what an insult to the people that are fighting like stage four cancer right now.

01:04:59.000 Like right now, there are millions of people on the planet that have like really bad diagnoses that have to fight with pain.

01:05:05.000 And she's like, I have depression.

01:05:07.000 I'm just going to murder myself.

01:05:08.000 And why do you have to have the clinic do it?

01:05:09.000 And I just think of how this empowers so many bad people.

01:05:12.000 Because think about toxic families where you'll have people pressuring someone to off themselves because they want their money or they just want them out of the way.

01:05:21.000 And there's just, there's so many ways you could just have bad people exploit this to get rid of people that they don't care for.

01:05:28.000 And doctors, of course, to exercise whatever God complex they want.

01:05:32.000 And it's very, it feels, just feels very twisted.

01:05:37.000 How would you know?

01:05:38.000 You know, in some situations.

01:05:40.000 I mean, in this case, it doesn't even seem to be like illegal.

01:05:43.000 You know, they don't, as long as it just seems to be that the person has to consent to it.

01:05:48.000 And if they're consenting to it for the wrong reasons, I don't know that anyone can decide that.

01:05:52.000 Well, maybe they let doctors do it because they apparently just think these doctors are gods.

01:05:56.000 But just to remind her, National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255 or go to suicidepreventionlifeline.org if you need help.

01:06:09.000 So reach out.

01:06:11.000 Is there a final topic?

01:06:12.000 Our final topic is: you think we were going to make just one AI song about Nebraska?

01:06:19.000 Charlie, we have a very special song that we want to play.

01:06:24.000 Let's play.

01:06:25.000 Let's play song 101.

01:06:28.000 We'll gather around up.

01:06:29.000 There's a force to be heard.

01:06:33.000 Charlie Kirk's his name spreading.

01:06:36.000 Yes.

01:06:37.000 You had to do it in country.

01:06:40.000 Yes.

01:06:41.000 Hilariously, I could see us playing this in like the house music before Ampes.

01:06:47.000 We will.

01:06:48.000 I'm sending it to Lauren already.

01:06:48.000 You know what I mean?

01:06:50.000 I'm already sending it to Lauren.

01:06:51.000 Gotta send it to Lauren.

01:06:53.000 We'll practice it next week.

01:06:54.000 I will.

01:07:06.000 Next America Fest, I want the live fans playing.

01:07:09.000 It does make you wonder how many of the songs the last 10 years were written using some form of AI.

01:07:16.000 Because this is like, this sounds like the noise that most country music is.

01:07:21.000 I mean, it's like indecipherable.

01:07:21.000 Right?

01:07:26.000 I mean, most artists don't even write their own music anymore.

01:07:28.000 If I sent this to you and I said, oh, I had hired some man to do this, would you have any idea?

01:07:35.000 No.

01:07:35.000 No way.

01:07:37.000 No.

01:07:38.000 Let's turn the time.

01:07:40.000 It's almost done.

01:07:42.000 We're playing the voice.

01:07:46.000 By the way, when I did this, I think literally all I wrote was upbeat country song about Charlie Kirk and Turning Point.

01:07:54.000 That's all I wrote.

01:07:54.000 That's it.

01:07:55.000 I didn't.

01:07:56.000 So here's what's amazing too about it.

01:07:58.000 It generates the lyrics.

01:08:00.000 And I didn't write anything about like youth organization or freedom or conservatism or any of that stuff.

01:08:10.000 It went in all by itself and I guess scoured the interweb.

01:08:16.000 It's so creepy.

01:08:17.000 Right?

01:08:17.000 Scoured the interwebs to find everything about Charlie Kirk and put this all together with backing vocals and a drum track and all of it in a style that I asked for.

01:08:28.000 And it did this in less than two minutes.

01:08:29.000 Can I say the same thing that I've seen with this, let me just say that this is the first time I've seen AI and been like, okay, this is indistinguishable from magic.

01:08:39.000 What if it would have grabbed like the entire Media Matters RSS feed?

01:08:45.000 I'm surprised it didn't, honestly.

01:08:47.000 We're going to use AI to fuel a drive towards early vote.

01:08:51.000 Oh, wait.

01:08:52.000 Oh, play 103.

01:08:55.000 Yes.

01:08:59.000 I hate this.

01:09:02.000 I hate this more than New York Times pictures.

01:09:04.000 I'm rocking on him.

01:09:04.000 I'm talking about here.

01:09:18.000 Like an anthem.

01:09:20.000 The phone drops.

01:09:24.000 This makes me feel like.

01:09:25.000 Tyler.

01:09:26.000 So, my daughters watch absolute junk of Netflix that has filled in songs like this. 1.00

01:09:35.000 Now I'm realizing every song that they have in these stupid cartoons is all AI generated. 1.00

01:09:40.000 That's all they do. 1.00

01:09:41.000 Pretty much.

01:09:44.000 This is like that Barney song that's popular now.

01:09:47.000 Yeah, you can.

01:09:49.000 So you guys know, you can go in and add your own lyric.

01:09:52.000 You can generate lyrics or you can actually have it sing your, you know, your lyrics however you want.

01:09:58.000 I just want to be clear.

01:09:59.000 Just in case anyone couldn't tell, that was a song about our friend Tyler here.

01:10:03.000 The opening verse was Tyler Boyer is the hero in our town.

01:10:07.000 And then it ends, Tyler's voice guides us.

01:10:09.000 Our spirits never compromise.

01:10:14.000 All right, guys, till next week.

01:10:15.000 Wait, we're not going to play Black Pill Blake?

01:10:16.000 Oh, we got to play.

01:10:18.000 No, we're going to play Black Pill Blake.

01:10:19.000 Man and Mystery Post now.

01:10:22.000 Because I made a song all from my best friend.

01:10:27.000 Blake Shivik.

01:10:31.000 Oh, there's some rap.

01:10:34.000 Of course, they made it.

01:10:43.000 Wait, this is incredible.

01:10:46.000 I can't sing in less than two minutes.

01:10:49.000 Two minutes.

01:10:50.000 That's the moves I make.

01:10:51.000 They say life's a game.

01:10:53.000 Well, I'm playing the win.

01:10:54.000 But you gotta get to the chorus.

01:11:01.000 Here we go.

01:11:06.000 No sugar, no sweets.

01:11:19.000 You're gonna be at the turning point, Jim.

01:11:21.000 Like tomorrow.

01:11:24.000 We could probably make this go really high up on the chart.

01:11:27.000 My words cut deep like a blade.

01:11:29.000 They're violence.

01:11:31.000 How funny would that be if we just AI generated something every week and got it to be number one and just like destroyed the charts?

01:11:39.000 But that's kind of what the thought crime here, I guess, is this AI music.

01:11:43.000 This is going to be like the great replacement.

01:11:46.000 But for like the knowledge economy, the music industry's done. 0.98

01:11:49.000 Musicians are screwed. 0.99

01:11:50.000 Voice actors are screwed. 1.00

01:11:52.000 Yep. 1.00

01:11:52.000 Lawyers are screwed. 1.00

01:11:54.000 That's what I'm saying. 0.98

01:11:54.000 We can just break the rankings every week and we just do an AI generated. 0.98

01:12:01.000 The only people who are protected are right-wing pundits.

01:12:04.000 That's because AI is not allowed to.

01:12:05.000 I know.

01:12:06.000 And you're against their ethics.

01:12:10.000 I have the greatest job protection of any person out there.

01:12:15.000 Rachel Maddow.

01:12:16.000 Especially this week, Charlie.

01:12:17.000 That's right.

01:12:18.000 Exactly.

01:12:19.000 All right, guys.

01:12:20.000 God bless.

01:12:20.000 See you in Omaha on Tuesday.

01:12:23.000 And till next week, keep committing thought crimes.
