00:00:33.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:40.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:09.000So I was joking that if he didn't have his voice back in time for thought crime that we should do like we should get Charlie like an easel and we could do we could do thought crime charades where Charlie is just correct.
00:02:20.000So he's trying to communicate with us through through like what like what time does the event start?
00:02:25.000He's like pointing to his wrist and stuff.
00:03:35.000There was even a question about um if uh so when Bannon went to prison there was a thing about that where they were saying well so could you just do war room episodes by creating an AI Bannon and then have it like you know plug in plug in like 15 articles every day and just come up with Bannon's response to that for four hours a day But as everybody knows, Steve is completely anti-AI and won't even allow like, you know, AI memes or AI songs to be played on War Room.
00:04:07.000So he, uh, I asked him at once and he almost threw me out a window.
00:04:11.000So, so guys, I have to, we have to play this clip, which is even more funny based on what Jack and Charlie just told us.
00:04:21.000images went viral everywhere and I mean it was like all over the internet that day but what's
00:04:28.000hilarious is that people were making memes of of like some of the trump chants that you got into
00:04:33.000charlie but if you look closely and now that you know that charlie had no voice you could actually
00:04:38.000see him chanting along and he's not saying anything it's just but like it plays very
00:05:46.000It's like we had the beautiful weather.
00:05:47.000I was really liking last week and I was making plans to go to like the last weekend of the Diamondbacks and then now it's It's going to be like 110 again.
00:06:59.000I remember Democrats once had a thing where they set up a system online where if you wanted to vote for Nader, they would do a swap where they're like, okay, this person who's in a safe blue state will vote for Nader on your behalf so that you can vote for Gore in the 2000 election.
00:07:17.000Like, they've done some very complicated engineering to get their votes where they want them to be.
00:10:04.000We've got, I mean, even, even voices like Russell Brand, Joe Rogan, there's this resurgence of masculine energy and you see it across social media and these kids are responding to it and they're anxious for people that are going to stand up for him and it's amazing.
00:10:19.000It's amazing to see and to see them proudly donning MAGA caps in the middle of this sea
00:10:25.000of progressivism at college campuses across the nation.
00:10:29.000By the way, we've seen this from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Northern Texas, Kansas State,
00:10:34.000Nebraska, UW-Madison, University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, and now today, yesterday at ASU.
00:10:41.000I mean, this is something that we've never seen.
00:10:45.000And then when you start looking at the social media views across platforms, we're at like, in the last 60 days, Ryan can give me the number, but it's like, something like 450 million views across YouTube and TikTok alone.
00:10:58.000So this is a phenomena, and I don't say that lightly.
00:11:02.000I've never said that actually, dealing with us.
00:11:05.000I don't think you would remember me saying that, Charlie.
00:11:11.000now and they have no idea about it in the mainstream news.
00:11:15.000They're actively ignoring it and we're fine with that honestly.
00:11:19.000Let's make sure the vote total is correlated with what we're feeling on the ground, right?
00:11:25.000And finally, ignore it to your own demise.
00:11:27.000Jack, you were also on campus with me at Penn State.
00:11:39.000What did you feel at Penn State University?
00:11:41.000So what's interesting for me is that Going back a number of years, prior to 2016, a decade prior to 2016, in 2006, I was the executive director of the Pennsylvania College Republicans.
00:11:58.000So I've done events going back Penn State and You know, University of Pittsburgh and going out to obviously all over Philadelphia, different parts of the state as well.
00:12:09.000So very familiar with how campuses operate, or at least how they used to operate because you used to do an event like that on campus.
00:12:21.000that you would go and you'd be inundated.
00:12:25.000So the goal for tabling used to be like, how can we troll the campus in order to get press and like maybe get on Drudge Report because that's how it used to be.
00:12:36.000And then perhaps, you know, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or something like that would pick you up.
00:12:41.000That was the goal back in those days because you were totally outnumbered.
00:12:45.000So to go to Penn State now here almost 20 years later, And be welcomed by a sea of conservatives or, you know, not even conservatives, but just people who are Trump supporters.
00:13:02.000When you and I went there and we brought 1,500 MAGA hats, and we only had enough to cover about half the crowd.
00:13:12.000I've never conceived of anything like it.
00:13:15.000Beyond my wildest dreams, if you had told me that something like this would take place, which by the way, you did tell me, and I was like, yeah, okay, Charlie, we'll see.
00:13:28.000Yeah, because like a week prior, a week prior, you were saying, Hey, come on up and, you know, we'll do Penn State together and it'll be fun.
00:13:40.000Like everyone in my family went to Penn State but me.
00:13:42.000So, you know, huge family of Nittany Lions.
00:13:44.000My cousins, my aunts, everybody went to Penn State.
00:13:46.000It's like Pennsylvania is what you do.
00:13:49.000And Tony Bobulinski I got to meet this weekend, by the way, who is also a big Penn State guy.
00:13:56.000You know, you were saying you're going to see something.
00:13:58.000There's something happening on these campuses.
00:14:00.000There's some movement that's really taken off.
00:14:03.000And yes, it is absolutely because people kept asking me, Jack, you on TikTok when I was there, you on TikTok.
00:14:07.000It's very much, you know, it's sort of like piggybacked or bootstrapped through TikTok that's just spread throughout these campuses.
00:14:16.000And people are, you know, I guess reflecting on it now, it's, It's that the establishment has switched so much.
00:14:23.000I know it's cliche and we talk about that, but the establishment has switched from You know, from being a conservative establishment to, you know, like when I was there and, you know, Bush was president, to now where the left is just in charge of everything.
00:14:37.000They're in charge of all the campuses.
00:14:38.000They're in charge of every institution.
00:14:40.000And so that youthful rebelliousness is turned towards the right, and it's coded towards the right.
00:14:46.000So to be edgy is to say things that are pro-Trump.
00:14:51.000And then you've also got people, and, you know, credit to you, Charlie, you got people there who were coming up to me that were saying, I followed turning point for 10 years and you realize that's okay if you're 18 19 that means you started following turning point when you were like 8 or 9 going on YouTube or something like that so it's like you know Charlie I remember you saying something to me once a couple years ago where where you're saying there's this huge conservative youth that's you know that's coming
00:15:19.000That's sort of been inculcated through Turning Point and it's on the way up.
00:18:52.000There's been all these other rappers would rib Diddy and say like he's a creep and you have these stories that'll host these parties and like his house is weird like supposedly there's a camera in every room of his house and there's all this strange stuff and so there's been jokes about this for ages And what's finally happened is they raided his home and investigated it, and then last week he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking and a few other things.
00:19:24.000And the reason this is big, because obviously a lot of hip-hop artists are criminals in
00:19:29.000various degrees, is people speculate he had these big parties and he has cameras in his
00:19:35.000house and all this strange stuff, that he might have done the whole alleged Epstein
00:19:40.000thing of get videotape of people so he has compromising information on them, and that
00:19:46.000now that he's finally going on trial, all of this could come out.
00:19:50.000Or he might, you know, commit suicide in prison.
00:19:55.000And, you know, that happens sometimes.
00:19:56.000Sometimes people commit suicide and the cameras are all turned off and all of the staff at the prison are asleep.
00:20:01.000And you can't prevent that or do anything about it.
00:20:07.000Yeah, no, I was going to add that the real thing that a lot of people want to add And that I think is generating a lot of talk is, well, I guess two pieces.
00:20:17.000Number one, there is this sort of casting cast aspect to it because, you know, there's, there's always been this question of like, why is this guy famous?
00:20:26.000He's got, you know, maybe one or two songs from Like the 90s, where he was actually just featured as a singer, some, you know, Notorious B.I.G.
00:20:36.000You know, he's in a couple of Biggie songs, but he's only ever, like, had one or two songs that were really legitimately his.
00:20:45.000He's always just sort of been famous for being associated with other people.
00:20:50.000And, you know, for decades since, like three decades since, there isn't really any verifiable reason as to why he has the power that he does.
00:20:58.000And so people have attributed him to be more and more of this casting couch thing.
00:21:01.000But that and that's really what's coming out and 50 Cent is like just dropping bombs on him because he's been saying stuff like this for years about Diddy.
00:21:10.000And you know, now now it seems to be coming out that they were kind of telling the truth.
00:21:15.000But there's also these questions about the Diddy parties.
00:21:20.000and the Diddy party stuff that's coming out is pretty heinous and stuff that I don't even know
00:21:25.000that we can really talk about here on the program.
00:21:29.000And the question then that a lot of people are asking is, well, wait a minute, you know,
00:21:33.000there's a lot of celebrities that were associated with these parties.
00:21:37.000There's a lot of, even, and people not outside of the hip hop world too,
00:21:42.000even people who are like, like actresses and actors, and even including some politicians like the Obama family.
00:21:49.000Yeah, I was gonna say, you should name some names.
00:21:51.000These are all allegations, like, rumors.
00:21:53.000We're not saying they're true, but, like, who are some of the names that are getting floated out?
00:21:56.000Because I think that is why, genuinely germane to this story and explaining it.
00:22:00.000Well, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are two big, two big ones are Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, and Chrissy Teigen famously, or infamously, had that You know, sort of a hot mic moment.
00:22:10.000I think it was at a Grammy's back in like 2015, where she was asked and it was just again, you know, what, you know, e red carpet kind of thing was like, Oh, you're here with John Legend.
00:22:23.000What's the weirdest place you guys have ever done it in public?
00:22:26.000And she just all, all of a sudden off the cuff says, the Obama thing.
00:22:31.000Like, and John Legend sort of goes, you know, very, you know, wide eyed very quickly.
00:22:36.000And everyone's sort of looking around, he goes, we're and then he pops in like, Oh, we're not gonna be we're not gonna be getting into that.
00:22:42.000And then they, they like one of their publicists put out some statement that, oh, it was the DNC.
00:22:46.000And it was just like, Obama wasn't there.
00:23:30.000But again, these are just allegations that are not in the charges.
00:23:33.000But yeah, Diddy, Beyonce, Meek Mill in Philadelphia, Justin Bieber, who, you know, there's a lot of videos
00:23:41.000of when he was like 15 and Diddy was the guy who kind of, Um...
00:23:46.000You know Bieber first came up on YouTube and he was like one of the first big YouTube sensations goes viral early on Diddy discovers him and then brings him in and there's just all these old videos coming out of Justin Bieber being very young around Diddy and you know now looked at in a different light and people are asking a lot of questions as to what went on there and there's there's probably a few others that's just off the top of my head a few that I can't remember.
00:24:11.000Jack, let's let's pause on the Justin Bieber one, because we have this clip from when it looks like Diddy was about 40 years old in this clip.
00:24:20.000And he's with Justin Bieber, who's 15.
00:24:23.000And now in retrospect, it's weird. 107.
00:24:28.000Justin, he's in, you ever seen the movie 48 Hours?
00:24:31.000Right now he's having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy.
00:24:34.000They're having the times of their lives, like, you know, where we hanging out and what we doing.
00:25:14.000Yeah, supposedly one of, uh, one of Diddy's former drug dealers told the New York Post that his parties were, quote, weird, and they would, like, go all day, but then really ramp up at midnight, and they would call them freak-off sessions, and people get high on ketamine.
00:25:32.000Is this, like, Eyes Wide Shut type stuff?
00:26:46.000So he he lost himself at a ditty party, was in it for the fame and the Ferrari, but he lost his soul much more than his soul.
00:26:53.000Women didn't walk the same way, which is pretty graphic.
00:26:57.000And then and then he says he lost himself at a ditty party, repeats himself.
00:27:01.000I mean, I'd never heard that song until all these rumors came out.
00:27:05.000Sign the papers so we'd never have to say sorry.
00:27:07.000And look, like, to me or anyone who's been around Hollywood, you know, this is a form of an initiation ritual.
00:27:15.000It's sort of like, if you want to be in, if you want to be cool, you got to hang out at the party.
00:27:20.000And if you want to be one of the party people, then you got to, you know, you got to keep going.
00:27:25.000And if you want the next deal or if you want the next endorsement or the next project or whatever it is, and you're young, well, the idea is You go to the party, and whatever Diddy says, Diddy goes, right?
00:27:38.000So, you know, you've got to outdo whatever the next thing they could think of is, and supposedly that was what these freak-offs were, but, you know, this isn't the same time that, you know, obviously there's been millions of stories, thousands of stories about this type
00:27:56.000I think this is just one of the times where something has come out that's really, really,
00:28:01.000they've decided to, you know, go after him. And there are some me too aspects to this where,
00:28:06.000you know, similar to, you know, the again, like the casting couch stuff like the,
00:28:11.000like the Harvey Weinstein style stuff, but it's it definitely goes beyond that.
00:28:15.000So here's here's what's interesting as well about it is because Hugh Hefner in LA would throw these
00:28:21.000big elaborate parties and he's famous for having planted video cameras all throughout the Playboy
00:28:29.000So he would invite these really important people, really famous people, they would go, they would do untoward things, and he would basically have blackmail on them.
00:28:38.000And so nobody ever touched Hugh Hefner, and a lot of people are thinking that this is kind of the same model that P. Diddy was following.
00:28:50.000And then finally, it was his ex-girlfriend, an R&B singer named Cassie.
00:28:56.000She filed a lawsuit in November, 2023, saying that he raped, plied her with drugs, and viciously beat her on many occasions over the course of 10 years.
00:29:06.000And she was apparently signed to his label in 2005.
00:29:10.000And she filed the case under the Newark Adult Survivors Act.
00:29:15.000And then they settled the lawsuit Like, basically two weeks later.
00:29:21.000And then, that was on 17th of November.
00:29:23.000Then on the 23rd of November, two more women came forward to accuse Sean Combs, P. Diddy, of sexual abuse.
00:29:33.000And then on December 6th, another woman alleged that Combs and two other men raped her in 2003.
00:29:38.000And then in February, a music producer, Lil Rod Jones, came forward.
00:29:47.000Oh yeah, so CNN gets this footage of Diddy beating, and it's like, it's really graphic.
00:30:20.000And then like a few months later, this video comes out of P Diddy,
00:30:24.000just like beating the crap out of his, this Cassie girl who filed the original lawsuit.
00:30:30.000And so it kind of made everybody go, oh.
00:30:32.000Oh This guy is a monster and then for them to now fully arrest him and with all the allegations all the weird stuff and It's not looking good for Diddy.
00:30:48.000I would say this is one of the strongest pieces of evidence, let alone the fact that 50 Cent's been hinting at this for years, let alone the Mike Tyson on the couch scene where he didn't want him to touch him, let alone the Justin Bieber stuff.
00:32:35.000So Jack, do you think that, is there any evidence to suggest that Diddy has a blackmail file on people?
00:32:42.000Uh, there is, because one of his... Where was it?
00:32:48.000There was actually a story that came out Talking about one of his... I don't want to get this wrong, but it was an employee, basically, was saying that Diddy would... It was a former bodyguard.
00:33:02.000And, you know, this was one that came out.
00:33:04.000So basically, there's been a lot of people over the years that have come out and said things about Diddy.
00:33:11.000Even people, like, in just the last 12 months have come out and said things like this.
00:33:16.000There was a guy who showed up at, like, Trump Hotel a couple years ago and said that he was a Diddy sex slave.
00:33:20.000And, you know, he, like, went to jail and nobody listened to him.
00:33:23.000And then back in a few, a few months ago, I'm just pulling it up here, in April, there was a former bodyguard who claimed that Diddy possesses blackmail tapes of prominent figures, including quote, princes and preachers.
00:33:39.000And this guy came forward and said, I'm a former bodyguard.
00:33:43.000And you know, I'm familiar with this and the feds got all the computers and all the devices.
00:33:49.000And look, this was, This was a guy who had been with Diddy at his residences in Miami and Los Angeles and all around and had said, oh yeah, he used to videotape this stuff at the freakout parties and he would, you know, he would essentially be able to maintain these blackmail photos of people who were, you know, guests at the parties or again, like the victims in order to, you know, doing things to the victims in order to potentially use that for future leverage.
00:35:52.000They are attacked in corporate media, they're attacked in governments like France, and they're attacked from brand advertisers who refuse to work with them.
00:36:00.000Corporate America is fighting to remove speech and Rumble is fighting to keep it.
00:36:04.000Go to rumble.com slash premium slash kirk10 That's again Rumble.com slash premium slash Kirk 10.
00:36:12.000Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers and they don't get much of it watching our show on Rumble is the most we can ask from you.
00:36:19.000But if you really believe in this fight and you have the means, one major way you can help Rumble survive is by joining Rumble Premium.
00:36:26.000Join the community that believes in the First Amendment and believes in our human right to speech.
00:36:31.000Go to rumble.com slash premium slash Kirk 10.
00:36:35.000Like I said, if you have the means and believe in this cause, now's the time to join Rumble Premium.
00:36:38.000If you don't have the means, we're happy.
00:36:42.000Can we brag on Rumble for a sec, guys, how important it is?
00:36:44.000I think that Rumble is one of the main reasons we have a competitive ecosystem going into this November.
00:36:49.000I completely agree with that, Charlie.
00:36:52.000Everybody has to go back to the dark days of like 2020, 2021, where COVID was, you know, all the disinformation.
00:37:01.000You're killing people if you tell people not to take the jab.
00:37:05.000And they were, and this has all been exposed through the Twitter files, through even Mark Zuckerberg's talked about this stuff, all the insane amount of pressure.
00:37:14.000And out of that, from the federal government on these social media platforms, and out of that, Uh came rumble and it just burst onto the scene and grew like wildfire and that's what you know thanks to rumble we have this show we have this audience but man they were a light in a sea of darkness at a time where the censorship was i would think apex censorship regime and uh hat tip to rumble by the way if you're watching this on uh charlie's channel like
00:37:44.000Hit that little red button, support Locals, which is owned by Rumble, which is a big deal too.
00:37:50.000Absolutely, and I want to remind you guys, we'll be live for ThoughtCrime Reaction for the J.D.
00:38:04.000Actually, real quick on that, just on Locals, I've been in discussion with Locals on this All right, I'm not going to reveal it yet, but basically, basically, yeah, I have a Locals project that's probably going to be launching pretty soon here because it's just something I've been working on that's kind of spilled over and needs like a home.
00:38:25.000And it looks like Locals is going to be the right place for it.
00:38:49.000I mean, my big thought, first of all, unless we get a surprise second presidential debate, or second debate between Trump and Kamala, third overall for president, this is looking like it's going to be the last debate of the cycle.
00:39:04.000It's going to be this, and then a month, and we vote.
00:39:16.000The diehards watch it, and it's quickly forgotten.
00:39:20.000I can't really remember the most famous moment from any of the last few Veep debates.
00:39:24.000This is kind of the last pitch that they can make to a big audience where everyone's watching.
00:39:32.000And I think there's also been a lot of attention on the vice presidential nominees relative to some prior years.
00:39:37.000I don't think Pence got that much attention in 2016.
00:39:42.000Kamala wasn't getting as much attention as Biden himself in 2020.
00:39:46.000But this time, both sides have really hit the opposing faction, and there's a big difference in style between them.
00:39:55.000Uh, like, you have Vance, this kind of has the, you know, came from a town much like Springfield, Ohio, goes to Yale, has kind of this class traitor element to him, because, you know, he was allowed into the elite, but now he's turned and become critical of elites.
00:40:12.000And then Walls, we have, you know, the whole It's a conservatism in drag sort of thing that he presents, where he's this folksy guy from the Midwest who just wants to do what's right, gosh darn it, and we're not gonna support all those rich, coastal, elite Ivy Leaguer folk.
00:40:32.000There's a big contrast between them, and I guess I do wonder, how does Vance come out of that clash successfully?
00:40:42.000Because on the one hand, Walls is a more experienced politician.
00:40:45.000He has more practiced at that folksy appeal.
00:40:48.000On the other hand, Vance has definitely been the one who's done the most media in the last two months, going against reporters, doing tons of interviews, so he's certainly like the most practiced of any of the politicians right now, and I'd hope that that pays some dividends.
00:41:20.000Now, one thing that I think strategy-wise that I would say for J.D.
00:41:25.000Vance You know, he's introduced himself to the country a number of times because obviously his book came out that just took off, you know, when it was first released in 2016, 2017, sold millions of copies, continues to sell millions of copies, by the way.
00:41:45.000And then the movie came out on Netflix in 2020.
00:41:47.000That obviously did, actually did very well.
00:41:50.000I'm going to say obviously because Netflix doesn't always release their numbers and they
00:42:13.000Vance has even with the enormous success of Hillbilly Elegy is that people don't always necessarily associate him with the movie because the movie so so solely focuses not solely but so centrally focuses on the mother and grandmother that people don't realize oh wait that's J.D.
00:42:31.000Vance's family so If there's anything he needs to do in terms of introducing himself is just remind people that that and he's been doing this on the stump over and over by the way uh remind people that is me that is my family that family that you remember from that movie that is us and that was a story that I put up that's number one number two politically so that's on the personality side politically speaking um which I think will cover up a lot of the stuff that
00:42:55.000That we're talking about in terms of Tim Walz being able to try to come across as folksy.
00:43:00.000He comes across like, you know, a high school football coach.
00:43:03.000And even though he was never a league coach.
00:43:05.000And then when it comes to the actual politics of it, I think, and you've seen him do this in media again and again.
00:43:12.000You've seen him do this in these, I love these, these sort of like mini, it's like a mini town hall slash rally slash press conference.
00:43:21.000That JD Vance has done these hybrid events, which are fantastic, where he's taking interview questions from media, but he's also talking to just like regular people.
00:43:30.000And he's got a crowd there of supporters.
00:43:32.000So whenever he's, you know, jousting with the mainstream media, they come back on him and you know, people are laughing and taking his side.
00:43:39.000And it just works really, really well.
00:43:41.000And the clips do well, because it looks like it looks like a fun atmosphere.
00:44:09.000And we've seen this huge push from Kamala's camp right now to try to paint Trump in a way as the incumbent,
00:44:16.000seeing as he's the former president, whereas like, or like to say that she's not part
00:44:20.000of the Biden administration, well, she is as a matter of fact
00:44:22.000and she's the only, as far as we know, the only cogent, you know, non-senile member
00:44:29.000of the Biden administration, as far as we know, the senior ranking one, fair enough,
00:44:32.000even though we've got Joe Biden running cabinet meetings.
00:44:34.000So, you know, you've got to keep it on her, but one of the main things that he can do
00:44:40.000to really bait Tim Walz is that Tim Walz has a tendency, even though he is a more polished politician,
00:44:47.000He has a big tendency to get hot under the collar.
00:44:50.000And we've seen this again and again in these local videos from Minnesota, go back to some of the videos during COVID, whenever he's challenged on something that he's done or challenged on something that he said, he gets very, very upset about this.
00:45:03.000And so I think there's opportunities for JD Vance to bait Tim Walz the way that Kamala kept trying to bait Donald Trump in the first debate.
00:45:56.000He should keep on saying, well, Governor Walz, your boss Your boss, your boss, refer to Kamala Harris as his boss and saying, well your boss wants to ban fracking.
00:46:07.000Keep on attacking so that Tim Walz has to defend Kamala Harris the entire time and not have to, you know, defend whatever weird record.
00:46:15.000Now you could pepper in, you know, tampons and boys bathrooms and blah blah blah blah blah.
00:46:20.000But, framing her as his boss is very emasculating, will help with men voters, because Tim Walz will not know what to do with that, and basically make all the points that we wished would have been said in the first debate, right here and there.
00:48:06.000Talk about how you do camo and, you know, you tried nicotine gum once or whatever.
00:48:12.000Nothing will turn off men more than the idea that Tim Walz can't stand up to Kamala Harris.
00:48:17.000They also will want to... they'll try to bring back the weird thing, I think.
00:48:22.000I don't know if they'll explicitly say weird, but they'll want to... when... I'd say, like, Vance's worst moments of the campaign have been, like, if there's anything, like, a little bit awkward.
00:48:32.000And some of that was just inevitable, like, okay, Cat lady thing.
00:48:35.000It's a three four year old interview and you can't undo any of that but it was like he had that one where he was at the grocery store or something and like Trying like a woman didn't want to be on camera And it kind of looked like at the end of a sitcom episode or something.
00:48:51.000That was not a great moment It wasn't great.
00:48:53.000But they'll want to try to get a moment like that where he maybe like fumbles over it.
00:48:58.000And then of course they also want to say, Vance, you're really extreme.
00:50:13.00051% of the respondents also said that Trump's presidency was a success and only 37 of them, 37% said that, uh, Biden-Harris administration has been a success.
00:50:24.000So you can have low favorabilities while people still agree with the policy and will still vote for you.
00:50:30.000And also I think J.D.' 's natural likability on camera is going to absolutely put sunlight on the media's astroturfing of J.D.
00:50:39.000as soon as he got into the race with the cat lady stuff.
00:50:41.000So I think he's naturally really likable.
00:51:59.000could say very humbly, look, the American people have seen both agendas, and we're double-digit favorites, or preferred on management of the economy, double-digit on managing of foreign affairs, and double-digit on immigration.
00:52:12.000And Governor Walz, your ticket is deeply unpopular because the American people—something like that, I think, is a great way of basically—the bandwagon effect then is no one will be like, well, maybe that's right.
00:52:24.000Yeah, I do think he's—you know what I'm saying?
00:52:26.000Like, all of a sudden, people want to be in the majority of Americans.
00:53:47.000Charlie, the other angle on the abortion thing though, and you had this in that original viral tweet, was that he has the most radical abortion laws in the country.
00:53:58.000So, you know, like every year five to six babies are born alive after a botched abortion in his state And you know, apparently he's okay with that.
00:56:06.000I know that Tim Walz is going to do this because we've seen Guys like that do this again and again and it was a huge part of the DNC and that's the power of story.
00:56:17.000So he's gonna come with a couple of these abortion stories in his back pocket.
00:56:26.000Vance, maybe not Go up on stories like that.
00:56:29.000But we know, for example, that Tim Walz is most definitely going to bring up Springfield, Ohio.
00:56:35.000He's going to try to use this as an attack line on JD.
00:56:38.000You know, have a few of those stories in the back pocket with names of individuals.
00:56:43.000You know, this person that I spoke to on the phone and, you know, they told, you know, she told me this happened to her daughter or this man told me that this happened to his job.
00:56:54.000And not just, you can't just say, like, a constituent called my office and said this, right?
00:57:01.000Which, you know, a normal politician would say, but what JD, I think, and I hope will do is actually have, you know, the name.
00:57:18.000Those are the type of stories that actually leave a lasting impact on people.
00:57:23.000Because when you're hearing a story psychologically, so it's like, like when Charlie does these tabling events, and I, you know, sort of got to, you know, appear at the one, you know, you're, you're coming to it on both sides, people have their defenses up, they have their, you know, their their facts and figures, they're ready to go.
00:57:39.000But when you're hearing a story, you enter in a completely different psychological Model of your mind where you're you're in receive mode.
00:57:46.000You just want to hear someone's story And when we hear stories we we relate to them and we try to interact with them in a way Psychologically where we're putting ourselves if we can as much as we can in the shoes of the person who did it That's why documentaries can be so powerful, etc, etc.
01:01:42.000So the New York Times I think has a journalist union and like a tech staff union.
01:01:46.000So the people that actually like populate the website?
01:01:50.000Uh, like the people who write, yeah, and then the people who kind of make all their, I assume, all their graphics, keep the website up, yeah.
01:01:55.000I mean, New York Times has some impressive tech.
01:01:57.000Like, when, I'll, full confession here, when we're covering election night, I am using the New York Times website to track everything.
01:02:07.000And, so they're very talented people, so maybe they have the right to abolish scented products in their... I really want to know the origin of that.
01:02:15.000There's something funny in 2015. Do you remember when there was all those campus protests fall 2015?
01:02:20.000And they were all this issuing these lists of demands and I was covering education at the Daily Caller
01:02:25.000And I'd love to read them because a lot would have there's usually like standard demands that everyone had and then
01:02:32.000some schools There were these bespoke demands that was clearly someone
01:02:36.000on making the list had an axe to grind Like, I remember one, they were really mad about the instruction of jazz music at the school, and so it was clearly one specific music student who was angry at one specific professor, so their demand list was, this professor has to go away and not be mean to me, and also we need to change the entire music department.
01:05:12.000It's just so funny hearing Charlie being like, it's going to get really contentious, guys, where a lot, everything's all hell's going to break loose.
