00:03:47.46018 states in Washington, D.C., every one of them blew 222 electoral votes, 48 short.
00:03:56.340But with the local victories in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, they now have 272.
00:04:03.340With Arizona, it's now 283. With this, Democrats at the state level can functionally eliminate
00:04:13.260the Electoral College, radically transforming these United States. So this is where we are
00:04:19.780one week after the election. Democrats are already threatening investigations, subpoenas,
00:04:25.740impeachments at the local level. Many are now arguing they will overturn the Electoral College
00:04:33.160without amending the Constitution. The question then remains, with the launch of Democrat
00:04:39.260investigations, will Republicans take things lying down? With local Democrats voting to
00:04:45.720override the constitutional protections of the Electoral College, will the right and will
00:04:51.140Americans accept these changes? Or will the violence increase? And is something worse
00:04:57.280heading our way. Will this be a revolution or will this be civil war?
00:05:27.280violence is escalating. There's a bunch of stories I did not include in the opener, including
00:05:31.880this young conservative who was slapped by an old man. The story went massively viral.
00:05:37.260We have seen things like this escalating. That is the street level. That is the ground level,
00:05:42.020and it is very, very disconcerting. Not to mention we had Dave Chappelle coming out saying he feels
00:05:47.140better that Charlie Kirk died, or since Charlie Kirk died, he's felt better, and that he says
00:05:51.900Charlie Kirk is looking up, laughing so hard he can't breathe. This is Dave Chappelle throwing
00:05:56.940going to diss. So I want to break all this down and help you understand the acrimony between left
00:06:02.280and right in the United States, why we are facing an escalation of this political conflict. I know
00:06:08.040it. A lot of people don't want to say it. A lot of people don't like it. But hey, how about this?
00:06:13.260The New York Times, Hollywood Reporter talking about the prospect of civil war because people
00:06:17.880say, Tim, you sure do talk about civil war a whole lot. And I tell you this, my friends.
00:06:22.500Yes, indeed, when it's in the news and the news and the political landscape is discussing it.
00:06:29.200I want to stress this to all of you guys.
00:06:31.260I don't know if a civil war is going to happen because I think that this massive swing towards the left for the Democrats shows that they're going to have massive political power and potentially win 2028.
00:06:42.840So they don't need street level violence.
00:06:45.000That being said, Democrats are threatening to go after companies that helped Trump.
00:06:49.540they are declaring war on anyone who aligned with Trump. They said, why go for the Trump admin?
00:06:55.400We'll go after the companies and everyone around him. Why Todd Blanche said, if you are in the
00:06:59.360administration, if you're in government, you have a lawyer, it's me. So the Democrats are like,
00:07:02.860we'll go after everyone else. And we call this my friend, my friends, political law, terror,
00:07:09.080lawfare, terrorism, lawfare. We call it. The argument is this slotkin came out and said,
00:07:15.220she wants young conservatives to fear working with Republicans. So she's going to target
00:07:21.780junior staffers. She corrected this later saying, I meant the corrupt ones. No,0.99
00:07:27.020she said she was going to go after junior staffers in the Trump administration to send a message to
00:07:31.360anybody who wants to work with conservatives. The message is clear. They know going directly
00:07:36.160at Trump is a problem because Trump has means. They are now announcing they're going to be going
00:07:41.380after anyone who supports Trump because the government is not going to be there to protect
00:07:45.440you. Not from civil cases, subpoenas, and being jammed up in Congress, draining your resources.
00:07:52.660There is nothing that the federal government can do to protect you in that capacity.
00:07:58.460We've got this story from MS Now. Democrats plan for a flurry of subpoenas that won't be limited
00:08:05.220to those inside the administration. Expecting defiance from the Trump admin, House Democrats
00:08:10.640took look for an end around corporate law, corporations, law firms, and former officials
00:08:17.500who may be more likely to comply. Indeed, my friends, before we get started,

00:08:52.320my friends. Let's grab the news from MS Now. Congressional Democrats plan to use their
00:08:57.380subpoena power to target private companies and individuals as a way of circumventing what they
00:09:02.760anticipate will be massive resistance by the Trump administration to their demands for
00:09:07.180documents and testimony from government officials. Four people familiar with the planning told MS
00:09:11.680Now. As they map out their plans to investigate what they say has been rampant corruption and
00:09:16.140lawbreaking during the second Trump administration, Democrats are counting on a widespread refusal to
00:09:21.320answer subpoenas by Trump and his appointees, say the sources, who were granted anonymity to discuss
00:09:26.720internal strategy. It's seen as unlikely the Trump DOJ will prosecute anyone for defying a
00:09:31.560congressional subpoena, and the federal government could pay any fines Congress or a court can impose
00:09:36.080after a contempt finding. But a lot of pertinent evidence exists outside of government. And the
00:09:41.740correspondence files and email accounts of law firms, corporations, and former officials who
00:09:45.860are far more likely to comply, they say. And the private sector knows what's coming.
00:09:50.540We can expect subpoenas to go after internal corporate communications, as well as communications
00:09:55.180between corporate executives and administration officials, said Daniel Suleiman, a former DOJ
00:10:00.320official at Covington and Burling Law Firm, who represents companies in congressional investigations.
00:10:05.300In a bulletin to clients, Suleiman advised companies to reach out proactively to congressional
00:10:10.760committee staff if they believe they might be targeted for scrutiny. Many are already
00:10:15.740heeding that similar advice. A senior congressional aide told MS Now, I just have done 15 meetings in
00:10:22.560the last 72 hours with corporate counsel. In interviews, Democratic congressional staffers
00:10:27.440say the challenge is prioritizing which topics to dig into among dozens of fruitful areas.
00:10:32.560The House Judiciary Committee Democrats, for example, have written 194 letters of the last two years making investigative demands.
00:10:40.700House committee staffers were asked to prepare 100 day plans and everybody turned in 15 years worth of work.
00:10:48.140Interviews with aides coupled with public comments of Democratic lawmakers suggest that Democrats plan to focus on a handful of major investigative areas
00:10:56.380they believe will resonate with voters who told pollsters that government corruption was among
00:11:02.000their top concerns. Alleged corruption and self-dealing by the Trump family and close
00:11:07.380Trump associates, alleged pay-to-play corruption involving Trump-connected lawyers and lobbyists
00:11:11.800being paid to influence pardons, contracts, investigations, or regulatory policy,
00:11:16.520the handling of the Epstein files, DHS and ICE uses of force, detention, and surveillance,
00:11:21.440alleged weaponization of the DOJ and FBI, law firms, media companies, and universities that
00:11:26.960forged agreements with the Trump administration, the Iran war and Pete Hegseth's purge of generals.
00:11:33.400It has been widely reported that Trump connected lawyers have been paid millions of dollars to
00:11:36.860lobby for pardons, contracts, and antitrust relief. That companies and individuals have
00:11:41.580made those payments will likely have little choice but to explain to Congress how much they paid
00:11:45.740and what they believe they got for the money. Congressional aides say lawyers at large firms,
00:11:50.200academics, and other experts have been contacting them to offer to help with their investigations.
00:11:54.880Now, my friends, it may be the case that Democrats are just going to investigate corruption.
00:11:59.920And there has been accusations and allegations of corruption. Many people are going to say it's
00:12:05.640political lawfare because we saw what happened with Donald Trump before he even got into office.
00:12:09.320They tried to put him in prison for things that they can't put him in prison for.
00:12:13.620They tried to lock him up for falsification of business records. And for those that do not know,
00:12:17.520it bears repeating. In the court case, it was actually argued by the prosecution and the
00:12:21.760witnesses. Donald Trump never instructed any staff to break the law. His lawyer decided of
00:12:26.380his own volition because he knew what Trump wanted to effectively break the law. Worry to
00:12:31.760have done that. If he did break the law, it would have been a misdemeanor. In order for it to be a
00:12:35.840felony, let alone 34, they would have needed an underlying crime to be found, but they did not
00:12:41.500have one. The jury was just told, if you think there may have been an underlying crime, then find
00:12:46.400Trump guilty. And they did. And that is still hanging over Trump's head. Should he leave office?
00:12:52.780That's a state level charge. You can't pardon. You've got this from eyewitness seven. Robert
00:12:57.880Garcia, incoming house oversight chair outlines four new probes into Trump administration.
00:13:03.060And now here's where things get sticky in terms of an escalating conflict in this country.
00:13:07.780Robert Garcia came here illegally as a child and was granted amnesty. He absolutely has a moral
00:13:15.880worldview opposed to Donald Trump. Now, that being said, Trump recently came out saying he's
00:13:21.140interested potentially in an amnesty deal with Democrats. Oh, really? I wonder if he's talking
00:13:27.640about amnesty in the true sense of immigration or if he's actually saying cease fire politically
00:13:33.360because he wants to just retire. Fox News reports progressive groups, 182 page blueprint maps out
00:13:41.520potential Dem investigations into Trump and corporate allies. The blueprint names, Tesla,
00:13:47.280Apple, Amazon, OpenAI, Meta, Google, and others as targets for congressional hearings.
00:13:52.900I'm going to say like this, we will not exist as a country. We will not. It's not going to happen
00:13:58.520if our major corporations are flipping back and forth because the political structure
00:14:03.160is attacking them. Before Trump got elected, or I should say after 2016 and Trump's first term,
00:14:08.780before a second term. All the big corporations were aligning up with the deep state, left align,
00:14:14.420neolibs, neocons, et cetera. They were censoring people and they were largely anti-Trump.
00:14:21.180Donald Trump ends up losing. COVID goes crazy. When Trump comes in for a second term,
00:14:27.060everything turns around. He nukes USAID and these companies, then their CEOs and executives show up
00:14:33.700to stand alongside Donald Trump with the major midterm victory. These companies are now being
00:14:39.100targeted for retaliation. I'm going to say that again. This is retaliation because in Trump's
00:14:43.680first term, these companies were largely aligned with Democrats. Biden wins. They stayed aligned
00:14:48.340with Democrats. In fact, there's active lawsuits pertaining to the Biden administration ordering
00:14:53.160censorship on big tech platforms. But then Donald Trump won handily, took every chamber, every,
00:14:58.180every house. Let me just clarify. The Republicans want everything, a trifecta in government. So
00:15:05.320the big tech companies say, okay, we understand who the government is. Now the government is
00:15:09.060changing. It's split down the middle. These companies are sitting there probably with their
00:15:12.300heads spinning, being like, we cannot operate in a country where you have a swing of political power
00:15:17.920that seeks to destroy you no matter what. It's going to get bad. Elon Musk's empire braces for
00:15:26.040Democratic crackdown. Indeed, my friends from Politico, Trump calls for DOJ investigation
00:15:32.600into Democratic calls for oversight. No, my friends, the Democrats are announcing Trump
00:15:39.340is corrupt. So we're going to go after all the companies, lawyers and media media companies
00:15:43.660that were helping Donald Trump. That's retaliation. And don't get me wrong. It was always under the
00:15:51.160eyes of anti-corruption. I'm gonna make it clear for everybody. There will never be a circumstance
00:15:56.400where anyone in politics says, I'm going to be evil and target my political opponents for their
00:16:01.040policies. That never happens. There will always be a justification from the Bolshevik revolution
00:16:06.580to the culture revolution in China. There is always a justification as to why they need to
00:16:11.900kill people. I think, I think y'all need to understand this because this is what is lost
00:16:16.460on a lot of people. Everybody thinks that war is hereby declared. They believe that the civil
00:16:21.380war started with a man walking outside and taking a flag and stick in the ground and go,
00:16:24.500I hereby declare war. That did not happen. It never happens. It has never happened that way.
00:16:30.280It is always a cascade effect. And you don't know you're in the war until you're well in the war.
00:16:35.360I am not saying we're at civil war. I'm saying right now, Democrats, of course, are going to
00:16:40.320step forward and say, Trump is corrupt. And we're going to go after him. And the Democrats will0.93
00:16:45.820cheer for it. And you know, I want to stress this. Like imagine like the Spanish civil war.
00:16:50.620Okay. You get, uh, you get Franco and he's like, yeah, we got to stop the communists.
00:16:55.800The communists weren't standing up going, but we want to be evil. That's not how it works.
00:17:00.840The communists were saying, we're the good guys. You're the bad guys. Franco saying,
00:17:05.120we're the good guys. You're the bad guys. So Democrats of course are going to say,
00:17:09.400Trump is extremely corrupt and must be stopped. At the same time, Trump supporters are outraged
00:17:13.880of the corruption that we saw. And there was corruption. Yes, there was rating Trump's home
00:17:18.460because his daily briefings as president included classified documents for which he decides whether
00:17:24.240they're classified or not, but not going after Biden because he's an old bumbling man. That's
00:17:28.420corruption period. Now I don't care if you like, or don't like Trump. The point is Trump absolutely
00:17:36.140had his people trying to go after Democrats rather weekly. I will add the only thing you
00:17:40.240really get was like mortgage fraud claims, tremendously weak. But they said, well,
00:17:44.680that's weaponization of the DOJ. Here we go. Blanche threatens to investigate congressional
00:17:50.140Democrats. It's unclear for what. There's nothing you can do. Welcome to the hellscape,
00:17:56.140my friends. Sooner or later, as Matt Taibbi describes it, we'll enter a place where two
00:18:00.000vehicles are speeding to the DC police. Two men will jump out from each from their own vehicle,
00:18:07.460run up to the police chief and point at each other and say, arrest that man.
00:18:11.320That, my friends, is when everything starts breaking down. That's the challenge. Blanche
00:18:18.040wants to investigate congressional Democrats. Well, the Democrats are engaged in, I'll put it1.00
00:18:23.320this way. I'll put it this way. In Alaska, they cheated. They ran a decoy Dan Sullivan, New York
00:18:29.260Times confirming to steal votes from the incumbent so the Democrat could win a narrow race. And it
00:18:34.440looks like it's working. That's illegal. It's a conspiracy against rights. It's falsification
00:18:40.420of federal forms. But all these libs are like, it's not illegal. It's not illegal at all. We0.86
00:18:44.760just had a guy with the same name run. You're allowed to run. Illegality is the interpretation
00:18:49.020of a prosecutor, a grand jury and a judge. OK, laws have always been this way. For example,
00:18:54.580in West Virginia, it is illegal for an unmarried couple to cohabitate, but no one's going to0.99
00:19:00.280arrest them. It is always interpretation. Right now we have an absolutely bifurcated electorate.
00:19:07.100So good effing luck. Democrats will stand up and say we are justified. Republicans will stand up
00:19:13.360and say we are justified. And the culture war we saw on the streets is in the federal government,
00:19:18.560the worst it has ever been. So you tell me what you think happens next when the Democrats say
00:19:22.960they're going to go after private actors who supported Trump. Blanche says he's going to go
00:19:27.880after or he's not ruling out. He says he could go after Democrats for this stuff. You tell me
00:19:32.900where you think we end up. Donald Trump now saying this midterm was voter fraud.
00:19:39.920Does anybody really believe that this election was honest? Where do you think we go? There's
00:19:45.960never going to be election. Anyone believes Donald Trump is now saying it. And the, and the,
00:19:51.040and the narrative is emerging around fraud. I don't think it was fraud. I think it was Republican
00:19:55.460sucking. But how do you exist when we go on over 10 years of Democrats or Republicans trying to0.99
00:20:03.560destroy each other in the government level? Sooner or later, someone will realize they are losing
00:20:09.060and they will say, arrest that man. And then the police chief says, I need to make a choice.
00:20:16.040This is how it plays out. From media, President Trump questioned the results of the midterm
00:20:21.280election in a draw dropping social media post. Taking to truth social on Monday morning,
00:20:28.080the president said, does anybody really believe that this election was honest?
00:20:32.140How could the polls be so wrong? He added, it's all about the machines,
00:20:36.060which are far more important than the voter. Many people right now are pointing out something
00:20:40.420very strange. I'm not suggesting it was stolen. I don't think it was, but people have noticed that
00:20:45.280in every race across the country, it's the same margin switch in certain polling areas.
00:20:51.280I'm going to go ahead and say, that's not crazy. They're like, did you notice that in every race
00:20:57.440in the state, the Democrats were up by 15 points. That's the calling at the calling line. And I'm
00:21:02.240like, actually, yes. If the Democrats had a general 15 point bump down ballot should reflect
00:21:07.240a comparable 15 point swing in every race. And don't get me wrong. I think cheating is certainly
00:21:13.080a possibility just in every county for every member of Congress. I mean, you'd think they
00:21:19.680pulled that degree? Maybe. All the machines being hacked at the same time, maybe it's possible.
00:21:25.440But that level of centralization, that mass wave, I think is harder to pull off. And I'm just going
00:21:29.000to go and say, Donald Trump started a war. We have post-Middle Eastern, we have post-intervention
00:21:35.060stress disorder from the Middle East, from Iraq and Afghanistan. That's bad. Gas is at 450. Guys,0.84
00:21:41.560I think it's just possible that Trump lost. But many people are going to say Trump really did
00:21:47.140one, there was cheating, and there needs to be answers for it. I already covered this in the
00:21:51.980opening. The White House locked down after a guy slammed his car into a security barrier.
00:21:57.160Venezuelan man who said voices told him to kill Trump is arrested near the White House.
00:22:01.400Blood on her hands, graffiti at Susan Collins' office. A man pardoned by Trump in January 6th
00:22:08.520was threatening judges. Lord have mercy. Two people who were arrested during a Turning Point
00:22:14.220USA events. Holy smokes. Oklahoma man charged with writing over 700 powder letters warning
00:22:21.840of civil war on election day. Federal prosecutors say Robin Patrick Martin mailed hoax powder and
00:22:28.320threats ahead of the 24 and 26 elections. I say this, my friends, it doesn't matter
00:22:34.960whether it's 10 or 10,000. What matters is that we are a divided nation. And I'll give you this.
00:22:41.660You saw the story. Dave Chappelle, in my opinion, exemplifies why we are in trouble.
00:22:47.560I mean it. MAGA influencers outraged at Dave Chappelle, saying he feels better after Charlie
00:22:53.920Kirk's murder. Disgusting. Indeed, he also said, Charlie is probably looking up at us right now,0.99
00:22:59.380laughing so hard he can't breathe. Now, what is this joke? If you followed this story,
00:23:04.160you'd see that many people stormed out of it. I'm not saying every single person,
00:23:07.480but the reports are many people filmed themselves leaving the Madison Square Garden event,
00:23:11.420saying, I'm not going to sit around while he does this. These weren't jokes. It was described as
00:23:15.900people who were there as sort of just a political talking to. He wasn't really doing bits or jokes.
00:23:21.560Many people pointed out the joke he's making is a direct reference to what Tony Hinchcliffe said.
00:23:26.000Hinchcliffe said in a roast for Kevin Hart, George Floyd is probably looking up, looking up at us
00:23:31.020right now, laughing so hard he can't breathe. Indeed. So Dave Chappelle wasn't telling a joke.
00:23:37.580we call this a diss. Now, what's the difference? A diss is still a joke. It's funny, right? When
00:23:45.540you say like you're so fat, when you sit around the magnificently appointed Tuscan villa, you sit0.60
00:23:50.460around the magnificently appointed Tuscan villa. That's a diss. It is a joke. It makes the people0.60
00:23:56.920behind you laugh and it makes the people in front of you upset. Now, don't get me wrong. You can
00:24:02.500have a diss battle or like a rap battle where everybody knows the roast is in good fun.
00:24:08.380Dave Chappelle was not doing this in good fun. In my opinion, this is Dave Chappelle offended
00:24:13.800and hurt that Hinchcliffe was able to mock the death of George Floyd and everybody laughed about
00:24:18.860it. Nobody said anything bad. So he said, I'm going to make you feel that pain because it's
00:24:25.020not a joke. And there are different moral lines. George Floyd, a career criminal who was trying to
00:24:31.140he was committing crimes at the time, was chewing on a speedball, resisting arrest and
00:24:36.300demanded to be put on the ground before police put him on the ground. And then Chauvin, which
00:24:40.880I fully respect should have checked on the man. He died. There's an argument on the left and the
00:24:46.960right as to why George Floyd died. This is a career criminal, regardless of my opinion on
00:24:51.620the matter. There's a difference between Charlie Kirk and George Floyd, which is reflected in the
00:24:55.960political feelings of this. You cannot honestly believe when you lay out the math of George Floyd
00:25:03.120and Charlie Kirk that they are comparable individuals in any moral sense. Thus, more
00:25:09.280people are upset about Charlie Kirk. Why? It wasn't just that he was a peaceful guy who was
00:25:13.700speaking on campuses, despite opinions you may disagree with. It's that he was murdered
00:25:17.640intentionally with a bullet through the neck. George Floyd was committing several crimes,
00:25:22.940operating a vehicle while under the influence of a speedball, fentanyl and meth, resisting arrest
00:25:28.100and demanding being put on the ground. He should not have died. And it is a tragedy, but these are
00:25:32.080different circumstances. Hence, there is a different degree of outrage over these jokes.
00:25:36.920Dave Chappelle is exemplifying the divide. He doesn't care that people understand this difference
00:25:43.400because he's firmly on one side of the argument. That's it. He said, Charlie Kirk was racist.
00:25:48.320He's he that's according to witnesses. I should say witnesses, but attendees.
00:25:53.160He's clearly on one side of this. The important thing to understand is that he is outraged over
00:25:58.760the mockery of George Floyd. And so are many on the left, but they lost that cultural power.
00:26:02.780And on the right, they're outraged over Charlie Kirk. This is going to exacerbate in these
00:26:08.880cultural conditions. Jenna, what is it? Jennifer Welch and her podcast. I've had it
00:26:13.960mocked Charlie Kirk's death with a tweet that said, we're going to dig up Charlie and do it
00:26:18.880again. She then laughed for 30 or so seconds at how funny it was and has now lost somewhere
00:26:24.720around 22 sponsors. This is a counterpoint and may be a good sign, but we're looking at two
00:26:31.680indicators. When she mocks Charlie Kirk, she loses her sponsors. I believe that is a good thing. I
00:26:38.900have always been in favor of canceling where it makes sense. Right now, the narrative that we're
00:26:47.100seeing, don't, I say this, don't put me in your wackaloon phantom camp arguing with phantasms.
00:26:54.380That ain't me. I have always criticized the excess of cancel culture. That is a guy being0.83
00:27:01.300censored or canceled because he has naughty opinions. No, you're allowed to have naughty
00:27:05.900opinions. I have always supported cancellation where it makes sense because society has
00:27:11.840boundaries. Like I said, in 2018, Colgate is fine to pull their ads from my videos when I'm talking
00:27:20.700about war, because if it were me, I wouldn't want my toothpaste on war images either. This was the
00:27:26.700great ad apocalypse where people were crying censorship because they were getting demonetized
00:27:32.120over the political nature of their content. But there is no obligation for a private company to
00:27:36.460support your speech. I have always agreed with that. Society can set the barriers, and I have
00:27:42.520always agreed with that. That is, mocking George Floyd is at or around the line. I don't like
00:27:50.400mocking the dead or celebrating death. But Tony Hinchcliffe was attacking this symbol,
00:27:55.840a criminal that they were supporting. The reason I say it's at the line, because it's offensive
00:28:01.140to mock the dead in most capacities. Charlie Kirk was a good family man who was killed in
00:28:08.660a political assassination. The death of George Floyd being mocked strikes at the heart of
00:28:13.900criminality and how the left wants criminals out of prison. These are bad things. Mocking Charlie
00:28:19.640Kirk's death strikes at. It makes it sound like you support political assassinations for those
00:28:26.640you hate, and it exacerbates the fear and threats of political assassination. One is destabilizing.
00:28:31.760One is stabilizing. That's my opinion. But I'll step outside and just say this. None of that
00:28:37.040matters. What matters is we have two sides who disagree, and they'll fight each other. But I'm
00:28:41.420going to say this again for myself. I have no problem censoring certain things. 100%. I have
00:28:47.620always favored censorship. Watch Tim Castile going back the whole time. I have always said
00:28:52.100censorship is good. Why? Because some people post child abuse and we want to censor that and
00:28:58.240Facebook and acts on any platform should. The problem with cancel culture at the time in the
00:29:03.7402018, 19 and 20 was that everything was over the line. You couldn't use the wrong pronoun an accident
00:29:10.540that you, you had, you had Zuby say, okay, dude, to, to a person and got banned on Twitter,
00:29:17.040even though it wasn't misgendered. That's how stupid it was. Censoring someone who did not1.00
00:29:22.760mean to offend is excess. I digress. What we're watching right now, my friends,
00:29:30.140is an extreme cultural bifurcation that is only getting worse. So where are we?
00:29:35.180Well, people keep trying to kill the president. He's not going to be in for much longer.
00:29:38.760Stephen Miller is now his chief of staff. And I hope you know what that means
00:29:41.600because Miller is the guy who's no holds barred. Blanche says we'll go after Democrats if they go
00:29:48.080after us. The New York Times says we face our nation's fourth great crisis. What? What does
00:29:55.280that mean? Three great crises, the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War II. These events
00:30:02.980tested our republic. And now he says we face the fourth. Really? He goes to mention the
00:30:11.240Constitutional Convention, but let's just scroll down. He says, given our divisions, as we vote,
00:30:16.480we must ask ourselves, what kind of leadership will see us through the current crisis?
00:30:20.280Why do we continue to support leaders who are invested in deepening our divides,
00:30:24.120who tap into conspiracy theories to frighten the public? Deny facts and to quote Alexander
00:30:30.020Hamilton, throw things into confusion so that they may ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.
00:30:36.900Most midterm elections are seen as referendums in the policies of the president. This one is
00:30:40.300no different. But there's something more fundamental at stake here. Beyond policy
00:30:43.940differences, this election is about the people who are empowered to check our chief executive
00:30:48.100and the candidates running for Congress. Indeed, they are intentionally saying it's war.
00:30:56.240Now, I got to give a hand to The Hollywood Reporter. Alex Garland's Civil War gets second
00:30:59.860look after Texas turns blue. You owe him an apology. In this movie that came out in 2024,
00:31:05.460I believe it was 24, right? Civil war. California and Texas are aligned against the federal
00:31:11.620government. Wow. They were partnered up and called the Western forces. The states were
00:31:17.640resisting a tyrannical president amid a civil war tearing the country apart. The alliance between
00:31:21.900a traditionally entrenched blue state and a red state wasn't explicitly explained in the film.
00:31:25.680So a lot of people said, how could Texas and California be aligned? Well, they're aligned
00:31:29.220now, my friends. So what comes next? I don't know. And maybe it's not civil war. It could be
00:31:36.820revolution. The Democrats now have the ability to overturn the Electoral College. Take a look at
00:31:42.780this. This is from Fox News. To replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote,
00:31:48.800potentially by 2028, without a constitutional amendment. So what is the national popular vote
00:31:54.560interstate compact and how would it work let's break it all down when you look at it right here
00:31:59.900states would award all electoral votes to those that get the national popular vote
00:32:06.360it would take effect once the states controls 270 and the plan could make popular vote the sites
00:32:14.700without even abolishing the electoral college so they're just changing the legislation right
00:32:20.040and they're saying this is still electoral college we're just going to change the rules
00:32:23.760and how it's done. Here's the game plan. There's a handful of blue states. Since this election
00:32:29.900flipped, many new blue states have entered the fray. And if they vote to join the national
00:32:36.040popular vote interstate compact, they don't need a constitutional amendment. Now, one could argue
00:32:41.440they may. This is where things get civil war-y. The electoral college is intended to protect
00:32:47.300smaller states from larger states. That's an oversimplification, but the general idea.
00:32:51.260The idea is that we do not want the most populous cities, wherever they may be in whatever generation,
00:32:55.620to dictate who runs the country at the expense of all the smaller states.
00:33:00.560The fear is that 51% oppresses the 49, and that results in civil war.
00:33:06.560There has to be an opportunity for minority representation.
