The Democratic Party is fried. They are dejected, broken. We don't know if they're going moderate,
00:00:06.960
if they're going to go far left. Right now, they're fighting over whether or not Hassan
00:00:10.860
Piker should be allowed to campaign with candidates. And the big story is that the
00:00:15.500
2024 election autopsy, where Democratic officials broke down exactly how it is they've lost,
00:00:22.760
is being withheld. That's right. Democrats are saying, release the information. Let us know
00:00:29.420
before the midterms what we did wrong. And they won't release it. But we are getting a glimpse
00:00:35.620
of exactly what went down. And there are a handful of issues that played a role in why Democrats
00:00:41.940
lost, most of which is Kamala Harris is awful. And so is Joe Biden. And they probably should
00:00:48.540
have had a real primary. But unsurprising to probably anyone paying attention to politics,
00:00:58.440
The progressive left bailed from the Democratic Party because they would not come out strongly enough against Israel and in support of Palestine, despite the fact many Democrats actually did.
00:01:12.720
So I wonder, is the reason why Democratic leadership, the reason why they won't release this info is because it is staunchly anti-Israel?
00:01:21.600
Well, aside from this, there are many in the Democratic Party that maintain Donald Trump
00:01:30.860
The thing is, the corporate press isn't giving as much air to this theory as they did when
00:01:36.940
Trump supporters claimed it was stolen from Trump.
00:01:39.840
Well, to be fair, Trump also took all the air out of the room, screaming the election
00:01:46.580
So right now, you've got many prominent liberals.
00:01:49.560
well, I shouldn't say prominent, but active online liberals maintaining that something
00:01:55.120
doesn't quite make sense with the 2024 election. To be fair, the more prominent liberals,
00:02:01.220
as I should say, are pushing back on this because it's not productive to actually winning.
00:02:06.140
Right now, we don't know exactly what's going to happen in the midterms, but it's looking like
00:02:09.760
Democrats are going to win. However, does that mean there will be a unified Democratic Party?
00:02:15.040
it doesn't. And while Donald Trump's favorability in polls may be low, the Democratic Party is
00:02:21.320
polling worse than the Republican Party. So if everybody's basing the midterms off of what we
00:02:27.200
think of Trump, which I think makes sense, then, yeah, Democrats are probably going to sweep.
00:02:32.240
But there are some that are pushing back. Some argue that, look, Donald Trump isn't going to
00:02:37.060
represent the entirety of the party. Republicans might actually win if they can get the turnout,
00:02:43.520
Now, considering Democrats are suffering a major historic favorability low, probably
00:02:50.500
has something to do with their whack-a-loon policies, which could be why they won't release
00:02:57.160
I do not believe that the principal issue is just Israel.
00:03:02.080
I think it plays a role, but many people have already just said, what do you mean?
00:03:11.820
Indeed, my friends, I'd posit weird, woke policies have resulted in moderates breaking
00:03:27.320
Joe specifically, because, you know, he kind of represents the everyman in the middle of
00:03:33.000
And I don't literally mean Joe Rogan, but the people who watch his videos, are they
00:03:36.740
going to decide that Trump is so bad they should go vote Democrat right now?
00:03:40.560
I got to be honest, I don't think so. If ever there was a time for the Mises caucus libertarians
00:03:46.620
to actually win some congressional seats, this might be it. Because what we're seeing in the
00:03:51.400
polling, especially among millennials and younger, is that they're breaking from both parties.
00:03:56.840
The Republicans can't cut it. The Democrats can't cut it. So what happens in this midterm
00:04:01.920
if middle of the road voters don't actually swing for Democrats? All that's going to matter is voter
00:04:07.860
turnout. Now, some have said, Tim, have you ever asked yourself why it is Trump's not worried about
00:04:12.060
the midterms? Could it be he has a plan that you should trust? Sure, whatever. Now, I got to be
00:04:19.080
honest, I'm not entirely excited about Republicans winning either. I mean, it's better than Democrats,
00:04:23.200
but what are they going to do? Have they been particularly effective in the past year or so?
00:04:28.520
Not really. So I guess it's fair to say it's better the Republicans win the Democrats, but
00:04:33.740
I'm not going to hold my breath. Let's read this news, my friends, and get into exactly what's
00:04:38.220
going on. And I want to show you all the social media posts from the Democrats who think the
00:04:41.040
election was stolen. It's hilarious. Before we do, however, go to wallet.rumble.com,
00:04:45.860
scan the QR code. Wait, it's over there, not there. And download the Rumble wallet. What is
00:04:51.200
it? It is a non-custodial crypto app for your phone. What that means is if you want to pay
00:04:57.080
your buddies, you want to trade some crypto or whatever, you use this app to do it. It makes
00:05:01.080
it really, really easy. Here's the thing. It's non-custodial. What does that mean? It means you
00:05:05.680
can't be banned from it. So let's say Rumble just really doesn't like you, and you've got Bitcoin,
00:05:12.220
Tether, and Tether Gold on this app. They can't ban you from it. It's yours. It's your money. It's
00:05:16.980
your account. It's your address. There's nothing they can do to stop it. That's been the play with
00:05:20.420
Rumble the whole time, allowing you to operate independently from these big tech systems,
00:05:25.460
which I guarantee you are still censoring everybody, and they will come back with a
00:05:30.060
vengeance if Democrats actually win. Right now, it's widely believed that mass censorship is going
00:05:35.600
on because they want to manipulate the election. In fact, I actually got an email from the Google
00:05:40.680
Ads team specifically about the elections and their policies. Yeah, dirty games will be played.
00:05:47.980
So go to wallet.rumble.com, pick it up. Let's take a look at the news. So this is from NBC.
00:05:53.020
DNC Chair Ken Martin told party officials he planned to release some of the results,
00:05:56.920
sources said, but more than a dozen Democrats said they wanted to see the full scope of the
00:06:00.640
problem. Let's start here. What do I mean with the Democratic Party being dead? Okay, it's a
00:06:06.580
little hyperbolic. They function, okay? There is still leadership. There's a mechanism behind them,
00:06:11.500
but they are massively divided. You've got the progressives, the Hassan Piker types,
00:06:16.100
the corporate Dems. They don't get along. The only thing they can agree on is orange man bad.
00:06:22.580
Well, that's not going to rally people in a midterm.
00:06:38.720
People are like, you know, Trump, he betrayed us.
00:06:52.000
So I'm not a big fan of these interventions. That being said, if you came to me and said any president you vote for is going to start a war in the Middle East, I'd be like, yeah, probably, you know, Trump was a little bit better in a lot of things, particularly with domestic policy.
00:07:04.720
So I'll take it. I think shutting USAID was a good was a good thing. Now, here's what here's what matters. Will this be enough to get people to come and vote in the midterms?
00:07:13.660
To be honest, right now, the sentiment is massive.
00:07:18.740
If Trump doesn't get a handle on this one, then yeah, people right now are motivated.
00:07:26.760
Guys, we're talking about, what, six and a half months?
00:07:29.760
It's a half year, and that is an eternity in politics.
00:07:33.500
For all we know, in three months, Donald Trump does a stimulus package,
00:07:39.840
pays everybody a bunch of money with his name on it,
00:07:41.740
and then they all celebrate and say, let's vote for this guy. For all we know,
00:07:45.100
that Trump comes with some executive order blocking a bunch of Democrat strategies for
00:07:48.880
the election, and then they win de facto. For all we know, a month before the election,
00:07:52.700
Donald Trump says, I'm going to give everybody $10,000, $10,000. It's good money. You'll be
00:07:57.040
yours. But only if the Republicans can pass the legislation come January 5th, which means you
00:08:04.660
better vote Republican. Take a look at this from real clear polling. Democrats' current spread is
00:08:11.100
minus 20. The latest poll from CNN is minus 28. Holy cheese. Minus 28 for Democrats. Yowza.
00:08:22.880
Now, when we take a look at the Republican Party favorability, they're at minus 15.4.
00:08:26.820
Not good either. Everybody hates the Republican and Democratic Party, but hey, man, that's like
00:08:33.140
five points. OK, it's 4.6 points, but that's like five points. The latest poll from CNN has
00:08:39.340
Republicans minus 23. Emerson in November had them at tie. Can you believe it? There was a period
00:08:47.280
where Republicans were almost enjoying net positive favorability despite doing nothing.
00:08:52.780
That's incredible. Well, here's what we got from Axios. DNC chair tries to tamp down uproar over
00:08:59.960
hiding election autopsy. So the Democrats are apoplectic. They want to know why they lost.
00:09:07.940
Well, we can tell you in February was reported the Democrats were working on a secret report.
00:09:18.180
But we do have this from Democratic Autopsy dot org.
00:09:23.760
Losing a whopping six point eight million voters supported Biden 2020 proved pivotal in this extremely close election.
00:09:30.260
Harris's inability to mobilize these pro Biden voters may have been the campaign's biggest failure.
00:09:36.200
Former President Joe Biden's disastrous decision to run for re-election, they call it his betrayal, by the way,
00:09:41.280
abandoning the working class base, agreed, and finally the Gaza effect.
00:09:46.760
There is ample evidence that Harris lost many voters, especially young voters, Arab Americans,
00:09:50.480
and critical support in Michigan and elsewhere due to the campaign's failure to shift or even signal a potential shift in policy on Israel and Palestine.
00:09:59.420
Extensive evidence shows a huge drop off in both turnout and Democratic support among
00:10:07.060
Now, the autopsy is apparently supposed to go into exactly what these things mean.
00:10:16.160
Like, that's how hyper-focused people are on Israel, that they'd be willing to let Donald
00:10:20.500
Trump win unless, truth be told, we had several comments on Tim Kast IRL throughout the election
00:10:25.940
cycle where people said they would vote for Joe Biden if he came out against Israel.
00:10:32.700
I genuinely believe Biden could have won if if Biden came out and just said he hated Israel.
00:10:40.660
There are conservatives that would allow Joe Biden to sterilize children.
00:10:47.600
If he cuts military ties with Israel, that's how much people care about the issue of Israel.
00:10:53.780
They would vote for an administration that would explicitly discriminate against people based on race and amplify child sex changes because they hate Israel that much.
00:11:06.440
Jeez, man, by all means, let's cut off, you know, foreign spending and aid packages to whatever country, including Israel.
00:11:14.960
You want them to register as foreign agents? Fine, do so.
00:11:17.400
But seriously, Joe Biden. Hey, let's roll from our slash politics.
00:11:24.240
This is the post on Reddit about Democrats wanting the full election autopsy revealed.
00:11:29.000
And we got some great comments and sentiment. Lonely top comment says Ken Martin pledged to
00:11:34.060
do this autopsy. Now that it's done, he suddenly thinks releasing it would be a distraction.
00:11:38.440
Funny how that works and the findings might point fingers at leadership.
00:11:41.580
One person said, sir, the people are feverishly demanding more transparency in government.
00:11:47.820
One person says, what could it have possibly said that was more distracting than choosing
00:11:54.000
The response, only the fairly politically engaged care that it isn't being released.
00:11:58.720
But the headlines it could generate, depending on what it says, could reach a lot more people.
00:12:13.220
But the Republicans, I wouldn't describe the Republican Party as cooked or dead, but people
00:12:20.560
are, I think everybody's in trouble. Now, here's the distinction I draw between the Democrats and
00:12:25.040
the Republicans. I would argue that everybody is burned out on both parties. I think the polling
00:12:29.720
shows that too. But the Republicans are still kind of unified to a large degree. The coalition,
00:12:35.900
which included libertarians and respected liberals, is kind of broken. Democrats, however,
00:12:39.800
are just going to war with each other. I mean, the Hassan Piker stuff is hilarious.
00:12:44.660
They can't figure out whether they love him or hate him. Here we have this. Let's dive in.
00:12:50.900
From Change My View one year ago. Huh. I do not believe there was meaningful fraud in the 2024
00:12:58.020
U.S. election. Change My View. Now, I just I got to ask this question. Why is it that someone
00:13:05.520
would need to make the argument there was no fraud in 2024, as if the implication was it was
00:13:11.220
widespread belief that there was. The person says, I voted for Harris. There was a massive
00:13:17.420
rightward shift. Someone says, I suppose this hinges a bit on what you consider meaningful
00:13:22.660
fraud. Regular normal adult is the account. He says, fraud on the scale that tips the election.
00:13:28.600
We all know that there is negligible fraud every election in the hundreds or maybe low thousands
00:13:32.100
of votes, but Harris didn't lose the battleground states by a few thousand votes. This wasn't a
00:13:36.200
Hillary Biden situation where 40,000 votes across a handful of states could have changed the election.
00:13:41.440
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you're ready for this.
00:13:44.680
In response, the fraud wasn't with voting machine manipulation. It was vote suppression. Republican
00:13:50.400
legislatures passed a number of last minute changes to voter eligibility rules in a bunch
00:13:53.680
of states. This led to massive amounts of voters being denied voting rights without recourse.
00:13:58.080
I don't know if this threw the election, but it was widely reported. Here's a summary from
00:14:01.840
the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan organization, nonpartisan, granted labeled
00:14:07.260
variously as liberal or progressive by conservatives. I googled voter eligibility
00:14:11.280
changes in 2024 and got a list of multiple other sources. Here's a description from the MacArthur
00:14:15.640
Foundation, another organization labeled liberal and progressive of the Brennan Center for Justice.
00:14:21.280
Apparently, if you focus on making things better for the average person, people who focus on making
00:14:25.360
rich and people in corporations richer will label these organizations liberal. You know what the
00:14:29.820
truth is. I'm trying to explain to my liberal friends here on X what's wrong with this luxury
00:14:38.220
property tax and why it would be bad for the economy. And they just don't have the capability
00:14:43.420
to think beyond layer one. Like, you need to ask them, OK, if you make this tax, what will happen
00:14:52.640
next? There's a bunch of things. They can't ask that question. They say, what do you mean?
00:14:57.760
The people will have to pay the taxes. And I say, OK, let's try a conditional hypothetical.
00:15:03.940
If this tax makes it harder to invest, what would happen? And they say, huh? But the tax is going to make money.
00:15:12.440
And you're like, if you didn't have breakfast yesterday, how would you have felt? And they go, but I did have breakfast.
00:15:19.160
And that's what we're dealing with. Seriously, that that's it.
00:15:22.680
this person says so in a sense it was done locally coordinated effort coordinated effort
00:15:27.060
blah blah blah what else do we got what else we got ah from ask statistics a year ago
00:15:31.400
irregularities in the 2024 presidential election data sound familiar remember when the trump
00:15:38.080
supporters all came out and said the data doesn't make sense that certain number frequencies didn't
00:15:43.120
add up properly there's no way the election was clean and democrats have been doing the exact same
00:15:48.200
thing. The only issue is that the corporate press isn't giving air to it. The question is why
00:15:55.200
when Donald Trump, well, first Donald Trump, fine. Trump himself kept saying the election
00:16:00.880
was stolen. So I'll give you that one. But it is damaging to the reputation of a political party
00:16:06.640
among moderates when you when they're perceived as losers, losers who won't shut up.
00:16:12.360
So the media goes nuts highlighting every instance in which a Republican claims or a Trump supporter that the election was stolen.
00:16:20.740
They go to liberals and say, see, look, they are sore losers.
00:16:24.240
But when the Democrats are doing literally the same thing, not a peep from the corporate press.
00:16:28.600
Why? Because it makes them look bad, despite the fact that it's widely believed that the election was rigged.
00:16:34.960
They write, there's some very serious concerns that the 2024 election results focus on unnatural data patterns that are emerging daily.
00:16:42.360
I found this. Lincoln started wondering whether it's a valid analysis or just random things put
00:16:45.340
together. Indeed. Then we have. Here we go. Look at this one. I love this. Ten months ago.
00:16:51.580
Lawsuit alleges secretly altered vote machines stole election from Kamala Harris. Do you remember
00:16:57.480
that one in the news? Have have there been ongoing threads about the secret theft from the voting
00:17:04.840
machines? Did the voting machine companies sue any prominent liberals? Uh-huh. Find it interesting,
00:17:12.460
don't you? From Western Journal. Here we go. This is from June of last year. A new lawsuit asserted
00:17:18.960
that election discrepancies in Rockland County, New York occurred during the 24th cycle. The lawsuit
00:17:23.780
filed by smart legislation said that more voters indicated in sworn affidavits to cast their ballots
00:17:28.900
for independent Senate candidate Diane Sayre than the Rockland County Board of Elections
00:17:37.500
undercounted the actual numbers of votes for Sarah.
00:17:49.540
while surprisingly withholding their votes for Harris.
00:18:13.260
Lawsuit challenging 2024 election results advances as watchdog group requests full hand recount.
00:18:30.500
people who think the 2024 election was rigged are as illogical as people who think the 2020
00:18:35.080
election was rigged and uh the top response outside of the moderator there should be legal
00:18:41.360
consequences for anyone who tried to violently overturn an election really the claim could both
00:18:46.700
be incorrect but they're different the idea that the 2020 election was stolen rests on the belief
00:18:50.960
that ballots were faked the idea that the 2024 and 16 election was stolen rests on the knowledge
00:18:55.020
that foreign governments provided both money and manpower to flood things like twitter and facebook
00:18:58.680
with false signs of support, and in the fact that major donors dumped resources in very unusual ways.
00:19:03.840
The belief that machines might have been tampered with is the closest parallel,
00:19:07.320
and only a minority of people believe that. I'm just so sick of this. Right, guys? The Democrats
00:19:15.560
have been doing the exact same thing Republicans did, whinging and whining about how the election
00:19:19.700
was stolen. You've got a whole Wikipedia entry. Republican Party efforts to disrupt the 2024
00:19:27.100
United States presidential election. They give it institutional authority.
00:19:32.300
Well, outside of all of that, the question is, will we actually make it in the end?
00:19:36.800
Will the Republicans win? The Daily Beast reports CNN data guru exposes absolute disaster for Trump.
00:19:43.260
And I think that's probably the case, but I'm not entirely convinced. The point is
00:19:47.740
the Democratic Party is split and young voters have broken away and they're looking for a new
00:19:53.300
political party. The Democrats don't know whether they want to be staunchly anti-Israel pro-Hamas
00:19:58.100
or pro-Israel or just Israel ambivalent. This divide in the party is bad news for them. Now,
00:20:04.620
that's equally true, apparently, for the Republicans. I think we're seeing something
00:20:09.540
new emerging. What do you get when you take, I don't know, Anna Kasparian and Candace Owens and
00:20:14.080
mixing together? You get hatred for Israel. That seems like a new spoiler political party that
00:20:19.480
might start emerging, the we don't like Israel party. And I'm not even joking. We take a look
0.91
00:20:24.600
at Republicans and they're doing fairly bad. It's going to be a disaster for Trump, they say.
00:20:29.180
But Democrats are also doing particularly bad. The one issue that's really unifying these
00:20:33.920
disaffected Republicans and liberals is the issue of Israel. That issue is not going to be strong
00:20:40.020
enough, in my opinion, to overpower the Democrat or Republican party, but it certainly can spoil
00:20:45.280
or at least create a meaningful middle of the road.
00:20:48.860
With this autopsy, I wonder if they're withholding it
00:20:52.340
because the report would suggest if they come out anti-Israel,
00:20:57.520
It'll do weird things to the Democratic Party,
0.96
00:20:59.980
turning them into this weird amalgam of, you know, Candace Owens and a Kasparian.
0.54
00:21:05.100
I don't know the Democrat leadership wants that.
00:21:07.700
And so they're probably thinking, guys, this is one issue we don't want to use.
00:21:12.020
Not to mention, I mean, a lot of these people get money from AIPAC,
00:21:14.720
So they're probably just like, eh, my donors don't want me to do it.
00:21:20.020
So also, this is a state where, you know, we know suburban voters make up a pretty big share of the electorate.
00:21:25.400
The president got to the White House by having more ground in the suburbs.
00:21:28.820
You talked about Harris's numbers. What are the numbers show on that now in this moment?
00:21:35.720
You know, New Jersey 11th to me is part is very much part of a trend.
00:21:40.340
What are we talking about in the polling data? Well, we can see it right here.
00:21:43.080
Just take a look here. You talk about suburban voters on Trump.
00:21:46.220
You know, you look at Fox News polling back in October of 2024 versus Kamala Harris.
00:21:50.140
Look at that. Donald Trump was leading by two points.
00:21:52.800
You come to this side of the screen. Look at how far down he's gone.
00:21:56.260
His net approval rating now, 20 points underwater among registered voters who are in the suburbs, suburban registered voters.
00:22:04.640
So we are talking about an over 20 point shift.
00:22:06.920
So what we see in New Jersey, 11, to me, is going to be seen throughout the nation come this fall if these numbers hold.
00:22:13.080
And then my question is, does that translate to votes for Democrats?
00:22:20.120
Trump's screaming at Jessica Tarlov because she's talked about his negative polling.
00:22:27.420
But I am not convinced that translates to votes for Democrats.
00:22:33.600
Progressive Senate candidate praised video of Hamas's 2014 killing saying, damn, fine looking.
00:22:39.180
uh okay controversial candidate from maine graham plattner repeatedly praised the tactics of hamas
00:22:46.420
this is a guy who had a totenkampf on his chest the democrats are nazis help uh he came out and
00:22:54.340
said oops i didn't know what that that was if you don't know what a totenkampf is it meets a skull
00:22:58.760
and crossbones and it was a symbol used by the nazis worn on their uniforms the tattoo the
00:23:04.300
Totenkampff is used to support neo-Nazism and white supremacy.
00:23:09.180
Guys, I'm going to go ahead and say, I believe Grant Plattner probably still is a neo-Nazi.
00:23:14.860
I don't think you accidentally get a neo-Nazi tattoo and leave it there for 20 years or
00:23:21.900
And his praise of Hamas, I think this guy just plumb does not like the Jews.
0.73
00:23:34.300
OK, well, if you're an anti-Israel white supremacist, who's the party for you?
00:23:40.920
Seriously, they're in favor of racial segregation and half of them hate the Jews.
00:23:46.020
So I'm not surprised this guy is their candidate or trying to be.
00:23:51.840
Well, he's a candidate, but did he win the primary?
00:23:58.440
People may say Trump is bad, but does that mean they're going to go and vote for this guy?
00:24:03.760
There's a lot of people think Trump is bad because he supports Israel, despite the fact
00:24:13.600
I don't think just because people are mad at Trump, it's going to translate into a vote
00:24:18.280
There's going to be a lot of regular Americans who might vote Democrat just because they
00:24:23.540
But I kind of think that a lot of people are going to say, no, listen, I might not like
1.00
00:24:29.340
the war with Iran, but there ain't no way in hell I'd ever vote for some wackaloon like
1.00
00:24:33.080
that. You don't accidentally have a Nazi tattoo for that long. Here we can take a look at some
1.00
00:24:38.620
of the latest polls for the Democratic primary. Among black Democrats, the number one candidate
00:24:44.720
for the primary is Kamala Harris. Yikes. Followed by Newsom at 4%. Pete Buttigieg at 6%, AOC at 2%.
00:24:54.560
Among white Democrats, Harris is at 22%, Newsom's at 18%, Buttigieg is at 14%, and AOC's at 3%.
00:25:01.000
And Hispanics have Harris at 31, Newsom at 19, AOC at six, and Buttigieg at three.
00:25:06.760
The interesting thing is it somehow actually looks like they want Kamala Harris to be the nominee.
00:25:17.260
Democrats and Republicans both have to have a primary.
00:25:24.000
It's kind of crazy because usually there's a there's we haven't had a primary at all.
00:25:28.700
you take a look at 2020 and you had a Democrat primary. Fair point.
00:25:34.460
Typically, what happens then is the next one's going to be a double primary, but it wasn't
00:25:37.880
because despite the fact that Biden couldn't run like he could, but his brain is fried.
00:25:44.660
They just anoint Kamala Harris. I don't even know that's legal. And Donald Trump is the
00:25:48.920
de facto primary victor. So there was technically a primary, but we just basically skipped the
00:25:53.760
primary season. Well, now both parties need to have a candidate. Trump can't run again.
00:25:59.660
So who's it going to be? J.D. Vance? Marco Rubio? I wouldn't be surprised if it's Marco Rubio,
00:26:04.880
and I wouldn't be surprised if Rubio wins, and I'll tell you why. I'd probably vote for Rubio,
00:26:08.660
I got to be honest. Let me explain. Not a big fan, necessarily, of neocon policies or anything
00:26:15.680
like this, but the Democrats are going to put up someone insane. They're going to put up Pete
00:26:20.720
Buttigieg, who's nuts, Gavin Newsom, who's a snake oil salesman. I don't see a Democrat
00:26:25.420
that can actually rally moderates. I really don't. Like, who's on the Democratic side who's
00:26:31.400
going to go sit down with Joe Rogan and talk about all these issues? It's not going to happen
00:26:34.080
because the reason I want to release this autopsy is that the trans issue's bad for him,
1.00
00:26:38.900
Israel's bad for him. They are split in every direction. Republicans can come out and say,
00:26:44.080
I'll cut you a deal. Here's what I agree on. Here's what I disagree on. And they'll get votes.
00:26:46.920
so Rubio I say this JD Vance is great but he's a culture warrior Rubio not so much so when you
00:26:54.440
take a look at Rubio in Congress and things like that he's pretty chill he's pretty chill guy he
00:27:00.160
does not get overly aggressive he's not insulting he's just he talks low professional and I think
00:27:04.920
it's going to play very very well I don't know if he has the x factor to win though to be completely
00:27:08.620
honest certainly I don't see anyone the Democrat side who could either to be fair when I look at
00:27:13.480
who could be president among everyone we have, just in terms of lowest common denominator,
00:27:18.640
it's J.D. Vance. The reason why is, the saying goes, great minds discuss ideas,
00:27:24.280
average minds discuss events, and simple minds discuss people, right? That's the saying
00:27:28.220
we brought up last night. When you take a look at J.D. Vance, he fits the mold for
00:27:32.620
simple people. Look, I'm sorry. I'm not here to play games. I'll say this. Think about how stupid
00:27:40.900
the average person has now realized half of them are stupider than that. It's a George Carlin
00:27:44.600
quote. And then I get these comments who are like, how dare you call people stupid? They are and you
00:27:48.340
know it. That's why George Carlin made the joke. I'm not saying I'm smarter than everybody. I'm
00:27:52.580
saying half the people are real dumb. So they're going to vote based on, is he tall? Does he speak
00:27:59.780
well? They're going to focus on single issues. So J.D. Vance is going to target broad, lowest
00:28:06.500
common denominator political issues. And then he's tall and he's got some of the X factor.
00:28:13.360
Mocha Rubio does not so much have that X factor. I think he's like 5'10".
00:28:17.000
Height really does matter. So I don't know if I can see Rubio taking that victory. VP, maybe.
00:28:22.340
And so we may actually just end up seeing a Vance-Rubio ticket. And Vance's VP, I think,
00:28:27.200
could carry on. Who do the Democrats have? Honest question. Kamala Harris? Never going to happen.
00:28:32.220
She ain't going to win. If people are voting purely on party, then maybe. But I don't see
0.99
00:28:39.120
Kelly. I have no idea. You know, let's do this. I have this, the balance of power for the midterms,
00:28:47.380
but let's pull up the Democrat primary. The Democratic presidential nominee. The current
00:28:53.540
favor, of course, is Newsom, followed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. John Ossoff, really?
00:28:59.820
Kamala is at six percent. Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly, Andy Beshear. I will say this.
00:29:08.300
Who I think will actually be on that primary stage? Kelly for sure. I think Buttigieg for sure.
00:29:15.200
I think Pritzker for sure. And do we have Pritzker on this list? We don't actually, do we?
00:29:22.600
For the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee. Oh, he's got to be here somewhere, isn't he?
00:29:27.240
Because this guy's, wow, he's way down or just not on the list at all.
00:29:39.720
I don't see that for, you know, none of these people.
00:29:50.180
I'm surprised Ro Khanna's at a higher percentage than Pritzker.
00:29:55.920
just what people expect to hear in the press. I think they expect that Josh Shapiro will be in
00:30:01.660
the press. It'll boost his chances. That's probably what they're expecting. AOC, I don't think so.
00:30:07.480
AOC makes a very serious career, takes a very serious career risk if he tries to get on that
00:30:11.000
primary stage. Newsom's a yes. Harrison, maybe. Buttigieg is a yes. Shapiro is a yes. Kelly's a
00:30:17.820
yes. Andy Beshear, I think so. Tallarico's, yeah, Tallarico's a maybe, even though he's running
00:30:25.300
for Senate right now. That's why I put him in a maybe. So I'm not going to add on the list.
00:30:30.740
I think Pritzker is an absolute yes. I think Pritzker, he's been dropping weight and doing
00:30:34.380
press. I think he's going to be a yes. We'll see. The rest, I'm not so sure. We'll see how credit
00:30:38.620
it gets. The point ultimately, though, I don't think any of them can carry any weight. It's
00:30:43.000
going to be weird. We're going to have a bunch of people with no gravitas. Anyway, I'll wrap it up
00:30:48.840
there, my friends. You tell me what you think. Democrats, they got it. They don't got it. I
00:30:52.200
think they's cooked. We'll see. Doesn't mean Republicans can win. And just because, yeah,
00:30:56.640
it doesn't mean the Democrats will lose. Smash the like button, share the show. Stick around.
00:31:00.480
We're back tonight for Timcast IRL. Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all then.
