00:02:16.000What's kind of funny is I feel like we're going to end up in this contest to see who can be more fanatically committed because Charlie, he lives somewhat.
00:02:25.000I'm not going to say where he lives, but he doesn't live right next to the studio, which is one reason he's always like on his way here and such.
00:02:32.000But I'm not sure what the full details are, but I think he might have a temporary setup so that he can just be right on top of the studio.
00:02:45.000I live across the street, but for me, even that's not good enough.
00:02:49.000So what I am planning to do is, my plan is that once we go live...
00:02:55.000To start covering the election on, I'm not sure what time it would be, probably 5 p.m.
00:03:00.000Eastern on the East Coast or something.
00:03:13.000Once we go live, I will not go off the air in some capacity, whether it's on Rumble or YouTube or TikTok, I will not go off the air until the election is decided.
00:03:23.000And we are going to straight up put an air mattress probably right over there, maybe out in the green room.
00:03:38.000So wait, like no cap, like you're saying that you're not going to go off air because we already know Al Schmidt, the secretary of state out in Pennsylvania, is already saying that he's going to be slow walking the votes and the counting.
00:03:51.000And in Pennsylvania, the law already says that you can't.
00:03:54.000So in Pennsylvania, for example, you can't count the mail-in ballots until the polls actually close.
00:03:59.000So for all the people like myself who have voted early, those ballots don't even begun to begin We'll have not begun to be count until 8 p.m.
00:04:09.000So we'll have already been going for three hours, which all is a long way of saying that, you know, we're probably not going to know, unless it's like an absolute blowout, right?
00:04:18.000Unless it's like an absolute just landslide, blowout, etc.
00:04:38.000So, okay, so your plan is that, I mean, you have to sleep, you have, like, physical, what about when you go to the bathroom, Blake?
00:04:46.000Obviously what we'll do if we go to the bathroom is we'll make sure someone is carrying the phone along, and we'll just prop it outside the bathroom.
00:04:52.000I'm not that deranged, but we will verify, we'll still be live, but I'll just be, you know, I'll be behind the door of modesty, and then...
00:05:27.000And the Blake bucket will be in the corner, not like the corner of the room, like some sort of outside corner of the parking lot where you can go at 5 in the morning or 3 in the morning or whatever it is and deal with the fentanyl zombies out there.
00:05:40.000And yes, that will be the Blake bucket, and none of us need to worry about that.
00:05:49.000Maybe I'll be not paying super close attention.
00:05:51.000Maybe I'll start boring whoever is on TikTok at, I don't know, 7 in the morning and just start droning on about reading Alexander to Actium or something, which I have been reading.
00:06:02.000It is 600 pages long, so I can probably get a lot of that done during the downtime, but...
00:06:27.000Yeah, there is an, well, more than one stream.
00:06:30.000There's an interesting, you know, kind of thing that happens with elections where it's like, and you can already kind of feel it happening in a sense because the early vote is, it's just weird.
00:06:42.000So the momentum is weird because normally this would be the closing phase We're good to go.
00:07:01.000You know, typically you would see the close of the election.
00:07:04.000And I think that because of early voting, that sort of changed for a lot of people.
00:07:09.000But basically with Election Day itself, I guess what I'm trying to say is when it's a normal Election Day, when it's, you know, a one day of voting or something, that despite all your schemes and your plans and your operations and your October surprises and your, you know, successes and your victories and your failures and your bumps along the way, Election Day just kind of happens.
00:07:31.000It's sort of just, you build up all this momentum to one 24-hour period, and then you just sort of lose control of it, and then people just go.
00:07:42.000The decisions are made, the tumblers are locked, And it just happens, and it's sort of out of your hands at that point.
00:08:34.000Yeah, it's just there's so much information happening all at once in 50 states, but then there's House, and there's Senate, and there's the presidential stuff, and you're going to have all these things go viral.
00:08:45.000One thing that'll just be on us to watch this is you're going to have videos that people post on Twitter where they're going to be like, this proves the fraud is happening because this person's getting this ballot out.
00:08:56.000The truth is a lot of that will be bogus, will be red herrings.
00:09:02.000This year we'll even maybe have AI deepfakes of things going on.
00:09:06.000You'll have wild claims from the left, some claims from the right.
00:09:10.000Everything is going to be as chaotic as possible, and it will be our job to help shepherd people through.
00:09:17.000Even an election you win is a trying, difficult time.
00:09:28.000I see good signs, but at the same time, you know, the polls are not something we want to go by.
00:09:34.000Polls are for firefighters and, as Charlie mentioned, something else the other day.
00:09:39.000But no, what I'm going to be doing is you're going to be there on air the whole time.
00:09:43.000My plan is actually to be going through, like I've done the past two presidential elections and so many elections, Prior to this, I'm going to spend Election Day in my hometown of Norristown and then my home city of Philadelphia.
00:10:00.000And usually what I do is I start around 7 a.m.
00:10:06.000and I get out there as soon as possible and then I just start riding around.
00:10:09.000I literally just start riding everywhere that I can to get to the various places.
00:10:15.000Places that are going on, you know, I look into a lot of, in many cases, like in 2020, we had that video from Will Chamberlain, who was working as an election lawyer, a volunteer.
00:10:26.000with these task forces in one ward in philadelphia of a guy getting thrown out of a poll watcher getting thrown out of one of the election uh the polling locations in philadelphia and that went as you said super viral and we were able to confirm that that did in fact happen uh will went down as a lawyer And was able to document all of it.
00:10:47.000And so, you know, various things like that that will be going on throughout the city of Philadelphia.
00:10:51.000And then I am going to hop on a plane.
00:10:55.000So I will not be able to be broadcasting the entire time.
00:10:58.000Because I'm going to go throughout Philadelphia.
00:11:14.000I've been looking at flights and doing the physics of this that I can actually hop on a plane right before polls close in Philadelphia and make it to Phoenix before the polls close in Arizona.
00:12:35.000Which, by the way, if that happens, if it does look like that happens, then what I will probably end up doing is when I'm at the airport, I'll literally just go and buy a ticket to another flight.
00:12:46.000Maybe I'll fly down to like Mar-a-Lago or something and be like, yeah, forget that plane.
00:12:56.000So in 2016, that is kind of similar to what I did.
00:13:00.000So it looked as though Trump was going to win Pennsylvania based on the fact that in all the wards of Philly, when I went down to South Philly, I went to North Philly, I went to West Philly, I was in Center City, and there was just no...
00:13:15.000So typically when people vote on Election Day, and again, this was the old way we did elections, so we're not going to have any You know, data on this going into it.
00:13:22.000But the old way people voted was that you'd vote on Election Day and there'd be essentially three periods of heavy voting.
00:14:01.000And back in the day, if there used to be any funny business, that's when you would really look forward is in the afternoon lull from about 2.30 to 2.2.30 to about 4, 4.30.
00:14:12.000And that would start predominantly 4.30 and then go all the way until the end of voting at 8 p.m.
00:14:18.000And so that after work rush is what you were really looking for in areas to see whether or not you're going to have high turnout in those districts.
00:14:25.000So in the city of Philadelphia, you know, it wasn't so much the early voting, because let's just face it, people in Philly are not early risers.
00:14:31.000But if you were looking for a big Philly vote, you would be looking for that in the evening.
00:14:37.000And so when we didn't see that, I said, Donald Trump's going to win Pennsylvania.
00:14:41.000And if Donald Trump wins Pennsylvania, which at the time, I think we had 20 electoral college votes, or maybe even 21, that I said, if he wins Pennsylvania, he's going to be the president.
00:14:51.000So I drove right over to 30th Street Station, because at the time he was up in New York, bought a train ticket, and I was like, bye.
00:14:59.000And I just left Philly around like 7 p.m., and I made it to New York around 9.
00:15:05.000We did not get an answer until, as everyone remembers, 3 in the morning there at the Midtown Hilton, and can of course say, I was in attendance, and as we remember the immortal words, sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.
00:16:03.000And I guess what I would say is, I feel like there has been a whole, there's like a cottage industry on both sides of the articles that are people pre-leaking so they can say that they were sounding the alarm before defeat.
00:16:17.000Because I do think, I feel like I do see this from our side as well, but we're seeing a lot of it from the Democrats too.
00:16:22.000Yeah, so I was on War Room the other day talking about this one, actually last night, I guess, with Natalie Winters.
00:16:28.000And look, I mean, this is just a situation where you've got...
00:16:32.000So it's actually kind of interesting because what they're claiming is that Kamala Harris isn't using the parallel...
00:16:38.000She's created a parallel infrastructure to the existing Pennsylvania network of Democrats that has been in and existing on the ground, Philadelphia and the color counties of Montgomery, Delaware, Berks, Bucks.
00:16:51.000And then even out to Lancaster, even quite potentially a little bit.
00:16:58.000So what's interesting about it, though, is that, and they're saying like, oh, well, her campaign's not working with the structure.
00:17:03.000Democrats had this exact same complaint when another candidate ran, and that candidate's name was Barack Obama.
00:17:32.000Donald Trump was a movement candidate in 2016.
00:17:34.000Kamala Harris is not a movement candidate.
00:17:36.000When you're not a movement candidate, you don't have the ability to do that because she's a machine candidate.
00:17:41.000You need the machine to put you over it.
00:17:43.000The machine is the reason that she's so close right now in all of the polls.
00:17:48.000And so when you see this and You know, you're looking at the New York Post has the article.
00:17:53.000Politico, I think, had the article earlier with Holly Otterbein, who, by the way, Holly Otterbein, you know, I know that when, for folks who read Politico Playbook, you know, that's kind of like reading Pravda and his Vestia.
00:18:04.000But, you know, Holly Otterbein is one of the few people over at Politico that actually does her job and has real sources.
00:18:10.000And when she digs into stuff in the state of Pennsylvania, she really knows what she's doing and really knows who she's talking to.
00:18:16.000And so you're seeing that same exact kind of phrasing come out.
00:18:19.000But the difference being that while Barack Obama was running away with things in 2008, what you're now starting to see is the finger pointing.
00:18:28.000And of course, the real thing that everyone's kind of dancing around here is, and I'm just double checking this with the New York Post article.
00:18:54.000But you'd think that if Josh Shapiro really was...
00:19:00.000Going to bat for her, that you'd be seeing him all over the place in Pennsylvania.
00:19:04.000You'd see him at events with her in Pennsylvania.
00:19:06.000This is the current governor, Josh Shapiro, who was, of course, humiliated by Kamala Harris when she refused to pick him for the VP pick, when she completely passed him over for this guy, Tim Walls, who's an absolute lightweight, an absolute nutjob.
00:19:21.000And there's a reference to him, but I don't know...
00:19:25.000I don't know if the article is really picking up on it as much as they should, that the issue in Pennsylvania isn't so much what the campaign's problems are, but what the campaign is not doing.
00:19:37.000And by not linking him with Josh Shapiro, and this guy, by the way, all of Josh Shapiro's infrastructure is the local parties and the local unions in Pennsylvania.
00:19:46.000So the fact that he's not out there whipping those union votes for her, the fact that Josh Shapiro is not going to bat for her.
00:19:53.000There's two dynamics at play with that.
00:19:56.000Number one, Josh Shapiro got passed over and humiliated and it was hilarious and I loved every second of it, certainly.
00:20:02.000But number two, he's also got a political reason to want to do this as well because Josh Shapiro wants to run for president one day and he wants to run very soon.
00:20:10.000And if Josh Shapiro sees Kamala Harris get elected, then that means she is going to be an incumbent and therefore she would be running for reelection, which means he would have to wait another eight years until 2032 before he could run for president, which would be past the time that he was a governor.
00:20:27.000Versus running for president while he's still a governor, which he could do because if Donald Trump wins, then Donald Trump is term limited to only one more term.
00:20:38.000Josh Shapiro could then run as the sitting governor, run for president in 2028.
00:20:43.000And that is what Shapiro really wants.
00:20:47.000And so that's why he's getting his name out there.
00:20:49.000But then he's, you know, fading back into the scenery and is more than willing to let Kamala Harris take the fall for anything that goes on, because then it gives him, in his mind, an open path directly to the White House.
00:21:05.000But I don't know, Blake, you know, you're you're looking at it from outside of Pennsylvania.
00:21:48.000It's not just that he's Jewish, right?
00:21:50.000It's that he actually volunteered for the IDF. He worked for the Israeli embassy at one point in Washington, D.C. and in their, I think it was like political affairs section, you know, basically doing PR type work.
00:22:04.000And yes, I think he was doing a summer, it was sort of like one of these Aliyah type trips.
00:22:09.000And then he was volunteering and his campaign was like very, or his office was very reluctant to put it out there, but he said, well, he volunteered.
00:22:17.000And some of the volunteering involved public service.
00:22:21.000And that public service may have taken place on a government facility.
00:22:27.000They just kept moving it back for this, like, so you're an IDF volunteer.
00:22:31.000It was, you know, more of a ceremonial volunteership for the security of Israel.
00:22:37.000And yeah, you were an IDF volunteer, Josh.
00:22:40.000So it's, you know, he's really a fish out of water because, excuse me, excuse me, fish out of water, since we're talking Pennsylvania, that, which is totally the way that I actually And usually when I say, I talk on air, I try to like, I try to not say would-er, but you know, I don't know, what can I say?
00:22:57.000If I'm talking to Pennsylvanians, it's would-er, would-er, would-er, baby.
00:23:00.000And so he's really just part of this party that doesn't really exist anymore nationally for the Democrats, as you say, that yeah, he can get elected in a state like Pennsylvania, but you bring that to some of these areas like Michigan, Or Northern Virginia or parts of Minnesota.
00:23:17.000And he's going to get run out of town.
00:23:36.000Plus, because you have to think the way the Democrats think, he has a real problem on his hands in a primary because of him covering up The sexual harassment by Mike Vareb, his Secretary of Legislative Affairs, a former Republican, traitorous Republican, just like Al Schmidt, who is serving in Shapiro's cabinet, because this guy was conducting sexual harassment of a senior staffer, something that Shapiro knew about.
00:24:02.000But it went on for like 18 months, even after she reported it.
00:24:06.000And Shapiro didn't want to blow up his relationship with this one You know, sort of nominal rhino Republican, Mike Barrett, who's an absolute drunk and a lush.
00:24:13.000I used to see him get drunk and walk around Walmart at like, at like noon in the middle of the day down in Pennsylvania.
00:24:22.000And, you know, he's got a lot of issues because he's been willing to just do whatever it takes to get to the top and probably didn't have to do all of those things, but he still did them.
00:24:33.000And so, yeah, you know, to your question, will Shapiro be able to run in 28?
00:24:37.000I don't know, but he certainly is going to make a play for it.
00:24:43.000Whether or not he's able to run isn't the issue.
00:24:45.000The issue is, does he have the incentive, just basic game theory, to really help Kamala all that much if he wants to run in 28?
00:26:43.000So that guy went and became a, you know, just a national figure pretty much overnight based, again, on his own ambition, very much like Josh Shapiro.
00:26:53.000And was able to, you know, politically prostitute himself out for enough Silicon Valley and Hollywood money that he was able to get out there and he He sort of rigged the Democrat primary in Iowa back in 2019, going into 2020.
00:27:09.000And he wrote a real name for himself, and he goes from being the mayor of this town in Indiana to now being a national figure and someone who's directly in the cabinet.
00:27:18.000So is there another Pete Buttigieg waiting in the wings?
00:27:21.000And these guys, it's like they roll off the Obama factory.
00:27:25.000You gotta talk this way, and you gotta do that thing where you push all the air out of your lungs when you talk.
00:27:34.000And that's exactly what Josh Shapiro does, and I've seen Buttigieg do this as well.
00:27:38.000And although I will say, though, I don't think that Buttigieg's time in office has done him any favors.
00:27:44.000I mean, he's mostly associated with, like, the government failures of Biden.
00:27:47.000I mean, from East Palestine to Hurricane Helene to Hurricane Milton, probably, like, 10 other things that I'm thinking of.
00:27:55.000Like, this guy is just, or all the airplane issues.
00:27:58.000Look at all the airplane issues that we've talked about here on ThoughtCrime over the time.
00:28:01.000I think Buttigieg has actually been damaged just by being associated with the Obama administration, or excuse me, the Biden administration.
00:28:08.000You're mentioning Buttigieg, but the other person who comes to mind that could influence this is Vivek.
00:28:14.000Vivek is just a businessman who ran and talked well and used the debates and so on in Twitter to slingshot himself forward.
00:28:25.000And he was at least talked about as a potential VP pick.
00:28:29.000He's definitely talked about as a potential guy in Trump's cabinet or in the Senate and so on.
00:28:34.000So I think you could, with him as a model, almost anyone could run for president for the Democrats.
00:28:40.000You could just have, I feel like Mark Cuban wants to do that.
00:28:43.000That's why he was doing a rally with Kamala today.
00:30:24.000Maybe her policies have failed her communities, and they failed America, and we're living through a cost-of-living crisis created by Harris Biden, and she jailed all sorts of people for ridiculous minor offenses, and now she's trying to pretend to run from that.
00:30:40.000Maybe they just see through the BS, and I think they do.
00:31:24.000We don't want to give in to Hopium either.
00:31:27.000They just said, you know, the numbers are very strong, certainly here in Arizona, where Overall, there's more Republicans than Democrats in Arizona.
00:31:37.000And so Democrats have had to beat us on turnout and independence to get the results they did.
00:31:41.000But early vote in the last few cycles was about even or slightly favorable to Democrats.
00:31:56.000There was that image I shared with you earlier today where if you take the top third of the counties in Georgia in terms of Can we get that graphic, please?
00:32:09.000I just read something on X. Yancey County in North Carolina, like one of the hardest—I was actually there on Monday—one of the hardest hit areas by the hurricane damage.
00:32:23.000These are people that lost their homes, and they saw the response, the disastrous, pathetic response from FEMA. They watched us send $175 million to Lebanon overnight for nothing.
00:32:33.000They watched us give another $450 to Zelensky last night, and they got a $750 loan.
00:32:38.000Those people, they're lining up in droves.
00:33:20.000It wasn't the bottom part of the state.
00:33:21.000I don't think it's even relative to 2020.
00:33:23.000This is just, if you take the top third of counties in Georgia in terms of early vote turnout so far, like which ones are having the highest turnout?
00:33:31.000And yeah, as you say, it's in the flood area.
00:35:23.000But I'm just saying, though, that correlates to what you're saying, Don, that even the ones that were destroyed by the flood are rising up and voting, especially because of the lack of response right now.
00:35:32.000Yeah, like I said, I was in Yancey County.
00:35:34.000That was the one that was a similar thing.
00:35:35.000It was the highest turnout in North Carolina.
00:35:37.000The hardest hit, probably the hardest hit county there.
00:35:41.000And the fire chief, we were there with the great people at Samaritan's Purse.
00:35:46.000If you guys want to contribute to that thing, go check out samaritanspurse.org or.com.
00:37:25.000And the government felt like it was totally absent.
00:37:27.000Let's play cut 100 here and I want you to react to it.
00:37:31.000You're talking to a lot of voters and I will just say that you texted me right around the Democratic convention and you said, I am talking to people, and Kamala Harris has a problem with black men.
00:37:43.000Yeah, and I told the campaign I did not hear from them.
00:37:46.000I mean, who am I for them to get back to me?
00:38:11.000They said because most of the time they said, well, you know, for economic reasons, right?
00:38:15.000Or because he gave me a stimulus check.
00:38:17.000And I had to correct them over and over and tell them that that stimulus check came from a Democratic Congress and from Nancy Pelosi.
00:38:24.000And that Donald Trump actually held the check up so that his name could be put on the check.
00:38:28.000So they think they got the check directly from him.
00:38:31.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden has given one or two stimulus checks as well, but they seem not to know and understand that.
00:38:37.000You can vote for whoever you want to vote for, but the reasons that you're going to vote for them, I think that they should be accurate and factual and you should know why you're supporting someone.
00:38:46.000Well, I didn't know Don Lamont was back on CNN. I didn't either, but I don't think a stimulus check matters when your cost of living goes up 25%, when cost of groceries are up 50%, when everything across the board that you need.
00:39:31.000We have inflation totally under control if you take out literally everything that you need to exist.
00:39:38.000Now, I know Democrats, I'm sure there's a couple things that they can buy that are a little bit cheaper that no other American would ever want or even imagine purchasing.
00:39:46.000But food, energy, housing, and transportation.
00:39:50.000If you take out all of that, everyone's doing great.
00:39:54.000I mean, these people are sick, and they don't get it.
00:39:57.000You heard me say the story earlier, Charlie, when we were talking to a group out here in Arizona.
00:40:48.000I can afford it and super blessed, but I want to get Jack in on this.
00:40:51.000Jack, I mean, the disconnect between what the media is saying and average voters is remarkable.
00:40:58.000And what did you make of that Don Lamont clip?
00:41:00.000Look, I mean, that Don Lamont thing is hilarious.
00:41:02.000The fact that CNN is so desperate now that they're bringing back Don Lamont, that they brought back Brian Stelter as well because they can't apparently find anyone to shovel their crap in a sycophantic way as much as this is really kind of telling that nobody wants to go down with the ship, CNN. You know, and just talking about inflation, right?
00:41:23.000So Tanya Tay, my wife, had a situation where, you know, she had this tweet where she was talking about the same thing, about going to the grocery store.
00:41:31.000And, you know, she, and, you know, Tanya's got a, you know, an interesting, you know, people know her background.
00:41:36.000She's from the Soviet Union, came to the U.S., from Eastern Europe.
00:41:39.000But she still very much has that sort of sticker shock of like, why does food here cost so much?
00:41:45.000And then when she goes to the grocery store and, you know, we've got two little boys and myself and, you know, we have family in and out all the time.
00:41:52.000So she's like, wait, why is this food costing me so much?
00:41:56.000And she runs, you know, she like keeps the books in the house.
00:41:59.000So she will tell me that she knows that the food is going way, way, way up.
00:42:04.000We're spending way more money than we ever used to.
00:42:07.000And for her, it's like, yeah, like, you know, we do we do well, we do we do very fine.
00:42:11.000But it's still to her just this massive sticker shock.
00:42:14.000And like, I always joke that lately, it's like I walk out the house, like I walk out the door with the family and I spend $100 before I get to the car these days, I swear.
00:42:22.000Well, but also, you bring out Don Lamont to talk about, like, you know, I don't know, not exactly representative.
00:42:27.000Like, I think Antonio Brown has a much better feel of what's going on with, like, African-American men, to explain it.
00:42:33.000I mean, it's sort of funny watching, you know, him, all the things that he's doing out there right now, and he's having that real conversation.
00:42:39.000Like, you know, Hampton's Don Lamont is probably not the best representative of it.
00:42:42.000Like, it's, you know, it's that pandering.
00:42:46.000They really don't understand because they're incapable of, Of either putting themselves in those shoes.
00:42:53.000It's a reliable voter, but otherwise they wouldn't be caught dead hanging out with some of these ordinary Americans.
00:42:58.000I think that was sort of what surprised the whole world about Trump.
00:43:02.000He doesn't pretend to be something he's not, but he was still relatable to people and he understood their problems because he grew up on construction sites and he understood those workers.
00:44:06.000So they try to catch these sound bites, but then anyone who actually is in the know, anyone who actually does this stuff, it's laughable.
00:44:13.000They went on a three and a half hour pheasant hunt.
00:44:15.000They shot at one bird and didn't kill any because they probably did that on purpose because they couldn't actually kill.
00:44:20.000They just want to appear like they're hunters, but they wouldn't actually do something.
00:44:24.000You know, it's all a big lie, and the reality is the more they push that and then try to show the people, like, anyone who's real actually sees it, and you realize it's a big, deep fake.
00:44:36.000Let's play another piece of tape here, and let's play Cut 18.
00:44:43.000You just heard Donald Trump making his appeal to black men quite explicit.
00:44:48.000Your friend, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, who you campaigned with in Michigan, says that the message she's hearing from black men is, quote, Democrats take us for granted.
00:45:11.000about black men staying home or voting for Trump.
00:45:16.000We're seeing more and more evidence of this stuff.
00:45:19.000Like I said, you know, I do this a lot, right?
00:45:22.000I've been on the road for almost, you know, basically at least a few days a week for the last three months and almost every day for the last, you know, two months.
00:45:30.000And it's, you know, it's not like these are people that go to a MAGA rally and they're conservative, you know, black men.
00:45:36.000These are people that see me at an airport and are like, I got to take a selfie with you.
00:45:43.000You know, it's almost an acknowledgement sometimes that, you know, hey, you know, we bought into the BS, we bought into the lies, and we were wrong.
00:45:50.000And now we see it with our own eyes, and we're not letting that happen anymore.
00:45:54.000So, you know, it's not like it's just, you know, I'm wheeling it into existence.
00:46:56.000He is at an Oregon Ducks game, and if you zoom in there, if you gaze at his, at what would be his left ear at the right end of the photo, he has an ear plug within his ear.
00:48:21.000Back in New York, he was going to Jingle Ball or something like that at Madison Square Garden before I'd get killed, although I think that's changing now, too.
00:48:34.000I've been like a political refugee from New York, from the People's Republic of New York down to Florida.
00:48:38.000But I went up a bunch with my father with some of the nonsense trials, and I was our sort of opening and closing witness on some of the nonsense that looks pretty good right now in terms of getting overturned, but you still got to deal with it.
00:48:48.000But I'd be walking down the streets and same thing.
00:48:51.000You know, garbage men, these blue-collar workers, like, just running out of their trucks taking selfies because, like, they see what's going on in those cities.
00:48:58.000I see women that, you know, I worked with the professional women lawyers that commute from some of the suburbs or whatever.
00:49:04.000Now they do it in groups because they literally fear for their safety going by themselves into New York City train stations.
00:49:13.000In the early 2000s when I was a little bit wilder and a little, you know, whatever, you know, having fun in my early 20s, you know, going out in New York City.
00:49:19.000We'd go out until 4 o'clock in the morning and take a subway home because it was like, obviously, it was fine.
00:49:23.000I have three close friends who live in New York City and they're three for three and getting mugged in the Biden years.
00:49:43.000I know guys that own hotels in New York City that are making bank, not because the hotels are overperforming, but because the government is paying them to house migrants in luxury hotels in New York City.
00:49:52.000It's part of the conceit they do, because it's hard to get a homeless shelter approved.
00:50:23.000We've got to make sure we're taking care of the migrants that we brought in here who are illegal and probably in many cases don't add much value.
00:50:28.000And there'll be reliable Democrat voters, but there'll be a drain on the coffers forever.
00:50:32.000Should FEMA supply migrants with earplugs in case they go to sport?
00:50:37.000I'm sure they supply them with anything that they want.
00:50:40.000They will never let me live this time.
00:53:19.000You know, with two, three weeks to go before an election, they send a reporter to the University of Michigan, and it's about, you know, a lot of schools are scaling back on their DEI stuff, and whatever you want to say about the University of Michigan, they also have a loud stadium, they're not as into...
00:53:36.000They are not backing off on the DEI juggernaut.
00:53:40.000The number of employees who work in jobs that have diversity, equity, or inclusion in their job titles...
00:54:28.000Because the whole premise of it's insane.
00:54:31.000But that's not going to stop academia.
00:54:33.000But what I also love with this is it says, you know, it's supposed to be, it was going to solve all of their problems.
00:54:38.000But it says, in a survey released in late 22, students and faculty members reported a less positive campus climate than the program start and less of a sense of belonging.
00:54:49.000Students were less likely to interact with people of a different race or religion or those with different politics.
00:54:56.000Michigan's DEI efforts have created a powerful conceptual framework for student and faculty grievances and a formidable bureaucratic mechanism to pursue them.
00:55:07.000Every day, campus complaints and academic disagreements, professors and students told me, were now cast as crises of inclusion and harm, each demanding further administrative intervention or expansion.
00:55:20.000Like, what's amazing to me is, I know we always drag the New York Times, but what is very true is the New York Times it is America's most famous newspaper the There's a reason, you know, even your dad talks to them all the time.
00:55:32.000They are the establishment newspaper, and they have the ability more so than any other publication to just remake the national conversation.
00:55:41.000You know, like, conservatives, you know, complained about porn for ages, and then when Nick Kristoff did one op-ed going after MindGeek, suddenly, like, you started getting laws passed against it.
00:55:51.000And what you have here is the New York Times is saying, yeah, you know, a lot of places are going back on DEI, but, you know, University of Michigan isn't.
00:55:58.000And by the way, it's a huge disaster and is going horribly wrong.
00:56:01.000And so what is the message that the New York Times is putting out when they write that?
00:56:07.000And what are they kind of legitimizing for, you know, your New York Times centrist to think?
00:56:13.000They're saying, okay, actually, 2020 was a bit much...
00:56:17.000This whole nominating Kamala thing was a bit much.
00:56:20.000Maybe we actually need to go back to the whole merit thing, or we're going to lose to the conservatives.
00:56:28.000And I think that is the message they are communicating.
00:56:31.000And it's very, very promising that they're sending that message not even a month before a presidential election.
00:56:38.000Listen, I don't find them to be all that self-aware, but it's nice when they actually start doing it, because it's so obvious, but you need both sides to play along.
00:56:48.000Academia is obviously so slanted that way that they'll keep pushing it, but the whole premise of it is designed to fail for anyone who has, let's call it, above single-digit IQ. Of course that's going to be a problem.
00:57:00.000Of course it's going to create grievance, because the whole notion of it is about grievance.
00:57:06.000It's not going to work in the long run.
00:57:07.000It's not going to promote efficiencies and it's not going to promote success.
00:57:09.000And so, you know, this started all with Obama.
00:57:12.000And I mean, they've created this divisiveness that I think we'd love to eliminate.
00:57:16.000I mean, and I think we're seeing that because now it's gotten so bad.
00:57:20.000It almost took it sort of like addiction, right?
00:57:22.000Sometimes you got to hit rock bottom before you can ever come out of it.
00:57:25.000And maybe we're at that point in so many of these things that are so asinine to us, but maybe not so obvious to others who, you know, don't follow it quite as intently or haven't been paying as much attention.
00:57:35.000And, you know, I think we're winning these cultural wars now for the first time in a long time.
00:57:40.000All right, guys, we got to get going to Arizona State University.
