On today's show, Tim talks about the latest drama surrounding the Trump/Biden/Osaka situation, and why he thinks Joe Biden and Barack Obama are actually talking to each other at a funeral. Plus, MyPillow has been canceled by another big box store, and Tim explains why.
00:00:00.000Comedian Andrew Schultz recently had Donald Trump on his podcast.
00:00:22.000And following this, one of his shows got canceled.
00:00:25.000The venue was like, you know, not for us, not for us.
00:00:29.000We don't know for sure that he got canceled because he interviewed Donald Trump.
00:00:32.000But what's interesting is that he said following the interview, he started getting looks on the street from people who were giving him that nod.
00:00:37.000And he's like, you know, man, Trump's gonna win in a landslide.
00:00:42.000Now, I suppose it would be embarrassing if that doesn't happen, but I don't think he cares.
00:00:45.000He's a comedian, so he's trying to be shocking and funny.
00:00:48.000But the reason why I think this is interesting is with everything going on right now, when you've got – Andrew Schultz is not some right-wing conservative political guy.
00:01:01.000But Andrew Schultz is more of like a normal guy.
00:01:04.000You know, he's not afraid to be offensive.
00:01:06.000But when he's saying that he's seeing regular people, this reminds me of 2016.
00:01:09.000That's why I think it's worth talking about.
00:01:11.000I heard from a lot of friends of mine that they said as much as the media kept saying Hillary Clinton was going to win, on the ground, they kept seeing Trump signs and regular people.

00:03:25.000My friends, you gotta buy coffee, right?
00:04:29.000I'm with the Postmillennial and Human Events.
00:04:32.000Seamus Coughlin, creator, founder of Freedom Tunes.
00:04:35.000If you guys want to go over there, we just released a video today that people are loving about what Kamala's strategy is going to be moving forward, how she can still win.
00:05:33.000Then he says, in a newly posted recap, afterwards, since the interview uploaded, he's gotten to peek into just how many people still support Trump.
00:06:32.000And afterwards, he says the reaction was massively positive.
00:06:35.000What we would have expected in the culture war was that somebody would be like, oh, I can't interview Trump because it's going to be the end of my career.
00:06:42.000Now it's, wow, people are giving me nods on the street.
00:06:45.000It is inverted from where we were oh so long ago.
00:06:48.000You combine this with the failure of the Fox News interview that Kamala Harris had and the current poly market showing Donald Trump is up in the betting odds.
00:06:56.000About 23 points in aggregate, up like 16 or 17% on RealClearPolitics.
00:07:02.000And I think it's fair to say, regular people ignore the noise, ignore the pundits, regular people outright are saying it's a Donald Trump victory.
00:07:10.000Now I know immediately everyone's gonna be like, you better get out and vote and don't assume Donald Trump's gonna win, but I'm curious if you guys agree on that assessment.
00:07:18.000Well, I think it was very interesting.
00:07:19.000There was a long profile piece in The Guardian today talking about how this sentiment, I think, is shared not just among the comedians of the world, but a lot of Democrats, state and local officials have been already sort of creating and drafting contingency plans should President Trump, when they're melting down, that mass deportations may materialize along with a lot of his other policies.
00:07:39.000And it's sort of a more flushed out version of what people may know.
00:07:42.000That was the Transition Integrity Project back in 2020, where they were focused on trying to make sure that President Trump couldn't win.
00:07:48.000But now they're more focused on what would happen if he did win.
00:07:52.000So I think there's a significant tell there.
00:07:54.000And of course, the Axios scoop that broke last week, showing that a lot of House Democrats are already sort of gossiping behind the scenes, saying that they may refuse to certify election results.
00:08:11.000But there's a lot of movement, I think, coming from the GOP, the RN, so state-level GOPs, and then the RNC coming to try to prevent election fraud, which we're obviously all very critical of.
00:08:23.000But there's a lot of interesting, I think, developments on the front, particularly of the overseas vote.
00:08:28.000Mainstream media is melting down that GOP, RNC committee members are suing over that.
00:08:33.000But I do think it is concerning to me that Oh, that's crazy.
00:08:53.000Peter Schweitzer is a great, great journalist.
00:08:55.000So I think when you see numbers like that, you know, it sort of comes back to the question of, you know, I wish it were a fair election, but it's more, I always call it ballot warfare than it is a free and fair vote.
00:09:06.000That's a really good way of putting it, ballot warfare.
00:09:44.000Well, that's the most fascinating thing about this election, and that's what I've been talking to a lot of people about, is no one hasn't made up their mind who they like better.
00:09:52.000You know, maybe there's like five people in the entire country who are like, oh, I don't know, Kamala Trump, I don't know.
00:11:51.000Do you think that if a president is showing these behaviors of instability or mental decline, the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove them?
00:12:13.000I agree with you on that because I really wanted him to press her not on the questions that he wanted to ask, but on the answers she was giving.
00:12:20.000Like when he said, you know, what would you turn the page on?
00:12:23.000And she basically said rhetoric and mean tweets.
00:12:49.000I think he also probably knew that he wasn't going to have that much time with her, and so he wanted to get to a number of different questions.
00:12:56.000There were a few issues, but overall, I think he did a pretty good job.
00:12:59.000Again, I also would have appreciated it if he pressed her more, but it's easy for me to Monday morning quarterback him when he was sitting across from the vice president.
00:14:02.000The counter-programming from MSNBC was that Brett was – or people were saying that Kamala looked angry.
00:14:08.000They're saying it was because Americans can't handle a strong black woman because, of course, that was their initial commentary after – Also, we're all sexist, Natalie.
00:14:17.000But you know their deaths, but they also wheeled out Rachel Maddow last night to drop another, as she described, bombshell drop on President Trump having to do with trying to negotiate.
00:14:28.000I think it was like $20,000 off of Stormy Daniels' legal bills in exchange for an NDA. That was their big scoop.
00:14:37.000I think Kamala did win that debate now.
00:14:41.000It is interesting to me, though, if you read the Jack Smith filing and I think sort of the big narrative on how they are setting up or at least kind of making us think that President Trump is going to steal the 2024 election.
00:14:55.000This concept of a red mirage, right, turning into a blue wave.
00:14:58.000They say that a lot of the way, again, this is like MSNBC talking, but that President Trump is trying to create the illusion of success is that, oh, we're surging in the polls, we're doing so well, which I do think is accurate and true.
00:15:09.000But it is funny to me when I see left wing media outlets carry that narrative because they're sort of in some ways helping the Trump campaign from their perspective of being able to give the Trump campaign ground to say that if there is a red mirage right where they're ahead on election night, but then it flips because of the mass amounts of mail and ballots that always seem to cut one way with a weird statistical anomaly only for Democrats.
00:15:35.000That's That's why, to me, I get weirded out when I see, for instance, Politico yesterday running that long profile piece about how the Harris campaign is in shambles in Pennsylvania, because I don't think Democrats typically project weakness, especially in the context of leaning into Trump's abilities to, as they would say, claim election fraud.
00:15:53.000I think Kamala Harris even going for this Fox News interview speaks to the flailing of the campaign.
00:16:00.000I think this is a desperate attempt by some in the Kamala Harris campaign to reach out to Republicans, but I don't think this is an effective way of doing it.
00:16:08.000She also held a rally on this same day in Pennsylvania where she had many former Republican congressmen come and endorse her.
00:16:15.000It was including Adam Kinzinger, Lauren Comstock, former Republicans.
00:16:20.000But I don't think this is going to be effective for her campaign at all with this Republican outreach.
00:16:25.000As far as the spin that we're seeing from the left with this Brett Baer interview, I'm reading a headline from the New York Times.
00:16:30.000It says, Kamala Harris arrived for a Fox interview.
00:17:50.000President, I know you like the filibuster.
00:17:53.000I just didn't even have the chance to sometimes redirect in those ways.
00:17:58.000So I wouldn't consider it at all to be whining, but this is how the corporate press is framing this.
00:18:03.000I should say the Democrat media industrial complex.
00:18:05.000The one thing I would say on this is that, you know, now that I think about it, Brett Baier probably should have just let her keep talking.
00:18:12.000He should have asked her the question and then just shut up until she shut up, because then she would have spent 10 minutes saying not a single word.
00:18:20.000This is one thing the media does a lot, and it's just because the left does this a lot, is they'll take words that in their estimation have been historically used to insult and dismiss women and then use them for men.
00:18:31.000So we see this like, he was whining, he was weak.
00:18:35.000In reality, when you watch that speech, Kamala Harris was very emotional and irrational.
00:18:40.000People are afraid to say that because if you're calling a woman emotional and irrational, you're a sexist.
00:19:08.000He's whining, even though he's just stating the truth, giving some behind-the-scenes information about the interview.
00:19:14.000They said Kamala Harris dominated, even though it was so optically horrible that she dropped four points in the betting market the day after this interview.
00:19:22.000They're claiming that it was a debate when all he did was ask her very fair, very straightforward questions.
00:19:28.000He didn't dig up information about her past that she wasn't prepared to discuss.
00:19:32.000He didn't have some surprise that he was going to hit her with that she hasn't heard from some other interview.
00:19:36.000All he did was ask really basic questions that any other journalist would have asked her if she had had access to any or more likely, I should say, if any journalist had had access to her because she has refused to speak to anyone who won't worship at the ground that she walks.
00:19:52.000You know, you're giving her too much credit because at first she wouldn't speak to anyone, right?
00:19:59.000They were really just hoping to coast right back into the White House or stay in the White House based on this whole vibe brat summer thing.
00:20:05.000That's what they were really going for.
00:20:06.000And it wasn't until, what, the end of August when finally she had to give an interview to, what was it, Dana Bash?
00:20:30.000So I think it does show you how desperate the surrogates are if they're unintentionally leaning into the gender stuff, trying to frame it as like, oh man was mean to woman, it's sexism.
00:20:39.000In the same vein that I think they loved having the two female debate moderators for the VP debate.
00:20:45.000So when J.D. Vance tried to, you know, talk over the, you know, not fact check, fact check, it was a moment of, I believe as the mainstream media called it, of mansplaining.
00:20:54.000But they have this weird trope that they think that women for some reason are going to resonate with, you know, powerful women being spoken down to by men and having to, you know, speak back.
00:21:03.000And I don't really know who that's resonating with except people who are squarely in the Harris camp.
00:21:08.000I think it's resonating with people who are substantially older than Kamala Harris.
00:21:11.000I think that resonates with people in my mom's generation.
00:21:14.000You know, like my mom was a corporate attorney, and she spoke to me a lot about how difficult it was being like the only woman in the firm who did the kind of work that she did and etc, etc.
00:21:30.000That's not something that I think, for the most part, women of my generation or your generation or anywhere in between would really have to deal with.
00:21:37.000That's not something we've had to deal with.
00:21:43.000Well, that speaks to a point that I want to make here, and this is probably going to be considered an offensive point by many people, but I don't care because it's obviously true.
00:21:51.000And anyone who claims it isn't is either lying or lying to themselves.
00:21:54.000But while it is true, That women don't want to be necessarily bossed around and told what to do by men.
00:22:01.000What women really, really, really don't want is to be told what to do by other women.
00:22:05.000Women do not like being bossed around by another woman.
00:22:08.000If your wife or girlfriend or mother or any woman you've been close to has worked in an office with a female boss or female co-workers, they will express to you their displeasure in being told what to do by these other women.
00:22:19.000So when Kamala Harris is condescending and talks down to men, women don't see that and go, oh, one point for team woman.
00:22:26.000They look at that and they say, that's how this woman is going to be talking to me as a citizen for the next four years if she's president of the United States.
00:22:33.000And as it turns out, women don't like being condescended to and spoken down to by other women.
00:22:37.000Do you think that there is an inherent thing that men and women both have where they're just predisposed to prefer listening to men over women?
00:22:59.000I think it's maybe more derived from people who aren't deserving of their leadership position, and I think there are more women who are in leadership positions that don't necessarily deserve those roles.
00:23:09.000They got their own sort of false pretenses, where I think if you're a straight white dude, you had to work ten times as hard to get there.
00:23:46.000Two or three years ago, she came out saying that she was wrong on the issue and she was doing some kind of 2A thing.
00:23:53.000Okay, well, I disagree with her on more than just that issue, but I think on the right, generally, we're too quick to go with somebody who, hey, they wanted to come for all your guns four years ago.
00:24:03.000We support them more than we do somebody who said, hey, I don't want to come for your guns ever for the past couple of decades, but...
00:24:09.000Hey, no, I actually think that's fair.
00:24:11.000The redemption idea, we love that on the right, this idea of redemption.
00:24:14.000The question of whether or not someone would be willing to vote for a woman has nothing to do with Kamala or Tulsi.
00:24:18.000The question is, I think it's a fact that there are a lot of guys and women in this country who would not vote for a woman no matter who it was.
00:24:45.000Because on top of everything else, the pantsuits are beige.
00:24:47.000I really do think gender dynamics play a role in such that we do not have the sales development for how a woman needs to be publicly loved like a Donald Trump figure.
00:26:21.000So my theory on this, because men constantly complain that people don't listen to men, women constantly complain that people don't listen to women.
00:26:29.000My theory is it's true and false in different contexts.
00:26:33.000So I believe that women are listened to when they complain, they're not often listened to when they offer solutions.
00:26:38.000I think men are not listened to when they complain, but they are listened to when they offer solutions.
00:26:42.000So when a woman is complaining, and a man who complains isn't heard, who's, He'll go, no one ever listens to us, right?
00:26:48.000But when he starts offering solutions, he's actually more likely to be listened to.
00:26:51.000And I think that's built into our nature as humans.
00:26:53.000What about somebody like, you know, putting her policies aside?
00:26:56.000What about someone with the demeanor of like Condoleezza Rice?
00:27:00.000It's been so long since I've seen her speak.
00:27:11.000I thought she was the best the Democrats had to offer, and I want to see someone with a military background as commander-in-chief, as they're the commander-in-chief and chief diplomat.
00:27:19.000But I can respect Donald Trump trade and negotiation skills, too.
00:27:22.000That's good, but I would prefer someone who served in the military, as Tulsi has.
00:27:28.000But regardless of all that, I still believe that there's a large portion of this country that are going to be like, I'm voting for a woman, no matter what.
00:27:34.000And I think it transcends age and demographic.
00:28:53.000Men presume women not to be in leadership roles.
00:28:56.000Some of them will still vote for women, but a lot won't.
00:28:58.000And I think the best example of this is, if what I was saying is wrong, the Harris campaign and her allies would not have invested so much in making multiple, I'm a man, so I'm voting for a woman.
00:29:10.000What do they have, three or four of them now?
00:29:12.000Well, and yeah, not just them, but like super PACs that are, you know, Exactly.
00:29:16.000They know that there's a problem with men who will not vote for a woman, so they're trying to run ads where it's like, I'm a man, and I'm not scared of a woman, so I'm going to vote for one.
00:29:25.000I'm like, dude, who are you convincing?
00:29:27.000Yeah, those ads aren't convincing anybody.
00:32:46.000Whenever you're scanning through looking for exactly what they were saying.
00:32:50.000I think, you know, as Seamus, you're somebody who makes people's mouths move all the time with words, so you know exactly what they said.
00:32:55.000No, actually, that's why I know that we have no idea.
00:32:58.000Because one of the things that they teach you in animation school, but of course I knew long before animation school, is that...
00:33:05.000You can lip sync with a remarkably limited number of phonemes.
00:33:10.000You only need, like, really, if you want to get really low budget, like six or seven mouth shapes that you can combine into basically anything.
00:33:17.000You know, the fewer shapes you have, the choppier it's going to look.
00:33:19.000But it's really, really easy to fudge that.
00:33:24.000There's just a set number of shapes we make with our mouth and it is really, really difficult to pull words from that just based on the visual alone.
00:33:31.000That's why bad lip readings is so popular.
00:33:34.000They can make people say a lot of things that we know they didn't say and it's hilarious and absurd.
00:33:38.000And there is a viral one, it's an AI audio, where Obama says that Kamala Harris is retarded.
00:33:45.000And, you know, I actually am not amused by it because the first few seconds are actually spot on.
00:33:51.000And I was like, it was scary how good it actually looked.
00:33:54.000And that made me realize there probably is an AI program you could load this into, and it's going to be able to look at the way their mouths move and give you a 100% transcription.
00:34:11.000It'll be like, before you can go to this website, you gotta type in this word.
00:34:14.000What you're actually doing is not passing a test.
00:34:16.000You're teaching the AI. The company is using you as free labor to transcribe visual text into the word to tell the computer what the word is.
00:34:24.000With that massive decentralized labor force, AI has been able to now read physical images, like actual images of written word.
00:34:33.000If you were to load up every video ever...
00:34:36.000With a transcription of someone talking, the AI would be able to then see what the mouth is moving and the words that are coming out.
00:34:44.000So there is a program out there that can tell you exactly what these guys said.
00:34:48.000Whether or not this is exactly what he says, and it'll be very hard to ever get down to the truth of it at all, I think this is a sentiment within the White House, definitely within Joe Biden's staff.
00:35:00.000As the race continues to tighten, people are trying to get ready for the case of Kamala Harris losing in their minds and they kind of want to get ahead of it.
00:35:08.000You know, Joe Biden is filled with rage that the idea that he probably had just as good a shot against Donald Trump than Kamala Harris did, all else equal.
00:35:16.000So again, we're seeing the Kamala Harris, as we see more of the Kamala Harris campaign flailing, I think we'll see more of Joe Biden saying things like, yeah, I told you so, this was a dumb move all along.
00:35:26.000I think it's also really just they're amping it up to be a story because I think it happens in the context of the ongoing kind of shade war between the different warring factions within the White House, right?
00:35:37.000You got Bill Clinton like dissing Kamala Harris out on the campaign trail for what really should be a non-story, right?
00:35:43.000It's a video that no one really knows what they're saying.
00:35:46.000And I even think it's more interesting to suggest that right now they're like, Super buddy, buddy, or whatever, because I think it was just a few days ago, right, in Bob Woodward's new book, War, where Biden was bashing Obama, saying that it's like his fault that Ukraine has been melting down.
00:37:54.000So I don't know if the Kamala Harris campaign, for example, thinks like Joe Biden doing the Trump hat thing is probably him purposefully spiting them.
00:38:02.000Same thing when he said DeSantis was doing a fine job or whatever.
00:38:06.000Right, and DeSantis met with Biden, right?
00:38:08.000But wouldn't meet with, wouldn't talk to Kamala Harris.
00:38:11.000And then Kamala Harris and DeSantis were going at it.
00:38:13.000Sure, well, do you think Joe Biden's doing this stuff on purpose or Kamala Harris is just being sensitive over all of it?
00:38:30.000There was reporting out today probing into the transition efforts of the Harris campaign.
00:38:34.000And for most of the high-level positions, they were, I think, looking to basically ditch a lot of the Biden holdovers.
00:38:41.000So I feel like from a political-speak standpoint, too, that sort of shows you the difference.
00:38:46.000And, too, she said it last night on Fox.
00:38:48.000I think the most blatantly that she ever has, you know, my administration will not be a continuation of Joe Biden.
00:38:54.000This is a very fragile Democrat coalition we're seeing here, not only with the moderates, but also on the far left with how pro-Israel Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has been.
00:39:04.000So we will see the knives, figurative knives, come out following election day when Kamala Harris comes just short of becoming president.
00:39:11.000And the other thing too is Biden wasn't allowed to pick his own vice presidential running mate.
00:39:17.000He was basically told that he had to pick a black lady.
00:39:21.000There was a short list of women that he was allowed to choose from.
00:39:26.000I think he put that contingency onto himself, though.
00:39:50.000I mean, ever since John Adams, like...
00:39:52.000I mean, John Adams really did the vice presidency dirty by just saying, well, since me and George don't get along, I'm going to back off and let him do whatever he wants.
00:41:26.000She's 92 years old and as I was trying to get her to the door, my husband looked out and he says, we can't get out.
00:41:35.000We went to the back door and my husband got a foothold because the water was probably knee deep and he pushed me across the water to where I could get a foothold.
00:41:49.000And then he got my mom and put her out where I could get hold of her hands and I pulled her to me.
00:42:33.000We are alive, which I'm so blessed and so grateful, but we've lived here 50 years and my mom had lived there 70 years and we've just never seen anything like this.
00:42:46.000So shout out to the Appalachian podcast.
00:42:49.000And thank you for watching that short clip of this woman who is suffering.
00:43:18.000Congress should get their asses back to Washington, D.C. and make sure that little old lady can take care of her mom and they have houses before they give one penny to Ukraine.
00:43:27.000You have to stop giving the benefit of the doubt to political actors who think that you're evil and that your way of life should be destroyed.
00:43:58.000And it's not even just the 425 million that they announced today, because this is all coming from what was it about a month ago when they were negotiating the CR, they were coming up against the deadline that the White House is going to have to appropriate the 8 billion in aid for Ukraine.
00:44:13.000When they had an outstanding $8 billion worth of funds for Ukraine, instead of reappropriating it for the United States, they chose to a continue to administer it to Ukraine.
00:44:23.000But it was October 2, as people like her were having her houses ripped away, that they actually gave several hundred million dollars via USAID to Ukraine for, I kid you not, storm preparation and winter weatherization efforts.
00:44:38.000You have Kamala Harris tweeting, oh, I'm giving $157 million to Lebanon.
00:44:42.000And I think too, you know, as much as we could rank on how obvious it is that all they care about is Ukraine or Israel, any other country.
00:44:49.000And It's very interesting, right, for all the what they claim to be bipartisan or independent NGO type activist groups that were busy giving upwards of a billion dollars, right, to election administration in 2020.
00:45:03.000Now you see the continued reporting NBC out today saying that, oh, there's difficulties with voting, especially in rural counties in North Carolina.
00:45:10.000You have David Axelrod celebrating that rural people probably won't That was so upsetting to watch that.
00:45:39.000And then, of course, you have far left lawyer Mark Elias celebrating the ballot changes that they've instituted there.
00:45:44.000But the hypocrisy there is just it's so glaring.
00:45:48.000Congressmen constantly argue that they can walk and chew gun at the same time when it comes to supporting Ukraine and supporting domestic issues that we have going on.
00:45:56.000And I think it's and I hope it's true.
00:45:58.000But if it is true, then they should hold themselves to that standard and actually deal with these other issues that Americans are facing.
00:46:03.000I think support for Ukraine is important.
00:46:06.000But you're opening yourself up to these very easy political attacks by not dealing with domestic issues at home while helping political attack.
00:46:13.000It's Americans who aren't able to fix their houses, who are going without disaster relief funds.
00:46:18.000And it's a southern border that there's reporting today.
00:46:20.000A third of the cameras are inoperable and turned off.
00:46:26.000I think you could do both at the same time.
00:46:28.000I believe Congress when they said that.
00:46:30.000I think the point of the prioritization should be that you should put America first.
00:46:32.000And when you're running out of funds, the disaster loan program in Ukraine is getting an additional $425 million today alone on top of $187 billion.
00:46:42.000There's a very, very clear prioritization going on that's putting Ukraine first.
00:46:46.000And the further proof is that when they're debating the CR last time, They said, if you want the border funding, you have to have Ukraine funding too.
00:46:54.000You have to have funding for Taiwan and Israel too.
00:46:56.000Not just Ukraine funding, but only one-fifth of the budget can actually be dedicated towards improving the situation at the border, and the entire rest of the bill has to pay for...
00:47:05.000So really, it was actually an aid to Ukraine bill with a little bit of border security tacked on.
00:47:23.000But it's also crazy, too, right, when you see Martha Raddatz sit there and say, oh, well, a handful of transnational criminals and gangs are taking over, you know.
00:48:18.000Maybe they will take a cue from Russia.
00:48:22.000Because Russia, after they sent all of their fighters into Europe, once they brought them home, they sent them to Siberia or executed them.
00:48:30.000So maybe that is part of North Korea's plan.
00:48:32.000But North Korea also blew up like land crossings between North Korea and South Korea.
00:48:37.000They're really moving in a different direction right now.
00:48:41.000There is a PolitiFact fact check that they put out that they were tracing a lot of so-called hurricane disinformation to foreign agents such as Russia, believe it or not.
00:48:53.000I think it was MSNBC on the Sunday shows last week.
00:48:56.000They had Nina Jankiewicz on of Disinformation Governance Board fame to say that they should bring back the Disinformation Governance Board because of this.
00:49:05.000I think that they're laying, they're using, like, they will use what happened with the hurricanes, right?
00:49:10.000This massive tidal wave, no pun intended, of disinformation that has, you know, cost Americans their lives, when in reality it's a continued prioritization of Ukraine and every other country except the United States.
00:49:20.000But they will use it to lay the predicate for more censorship going in to the 2024 election.
00:49:26.000You already see it with House Democrats sending letters to all the tech platforms in light of what happened with the hurricane response, saying that you guys need to censor misinformation and conspiracy theories.
00:49:35.000You guys need to partner with fact checkers and be very proactive in how you're going to approach that.
00:49:40.000So they're definitely weaponizing this narrative, in my opinion.
00:49:44.000How about we have a law that says we can give aid, right?
00:49:48.000If Congress approves aid or whatever, and then it also states that at the time of a disaster, all aid for any foreign entity is diverted to the U.S. to alleviate said disaster.
00:50:00.000And those disasters will be based on disaster declarations and states of emergency.
00:50:22.000I wish the military-industrial complex would, like, weaponize the southern border and view that as much as a cash cow as they would the borders of other countries, but a girl can dream.
00:50:42.000Well, because Tim, I actually don't know if you know this, but when you pull oil out of the ground in the United States, it's bad for the environment.
00:50:50.000But when it's done in another country and then sent here, it's good for the environment.
00:51:04.000I'm so glad I can educate everybody on that.
00:51:07.000But what's hilarious, of course, is it's the exact opposite.
00:51:10.000J.D. Vance made a really good point, too, during the debate.
00:51:13.000I thought he had one of the best answers I heard on climate change, which is the United States has much cleaner energy than every other major country on the planet.
00:51:21.000So if you care about green energy, you should want the American economy to be producing the most energy and to have the most industry.
00:52:19.000We drove north, south, central, and we saw a bunch of Trump flags everywhere.
00:52:25.000Now, while Donald Trump is trying to earn favor with black men as well, because Kamala is doing poorly, the good news is Don Lemon is scolding them.
00:52:34.000Take a look at this clip from CNN. You're talking to a lot of voters, and I will just say that you texted me right around the Democratic convention, and you said...
00:52:45.000I am talking to people, and Kamala Harris has a problem with black men.
00:52:48.000Yeah, and I told the campaign I did not hear from them.
00:52:51.000I mean, who am I for them to get back to me?
00:53:15.000They said because most of the time they said, well, you know, for economic reasons, right?
00:53:19.000Or because he gave me a stimulus check.
00:53:22.000And I had to correct them over and over and tell them that that stimulus check came from the Democratic Congress and from Nancy Pelosi.
00:53:28.000And that Donald Trump actually held the check up so that his name could be put on the check.
00:53:32.000So they think they got the check directly from him.
00:53:35.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden has given one or two stimulus checks as well, but they seem not to know and understand that.
00:53:42.000You 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. - I think Don Lemon just showed how he has no idea what they're actually thinking.
00:53:54.000And he's making an excuse because if Joe Biden gave them two checks and Trump gave them one check, if it was about stimulus checks, they'd be saying, I'm voting for Kamala.
00:54:04.000I'm hoping that we get stimulus checks again.
00:54:09.000Yeah, I mean, it's really condescending.
00:54:11.000There's this Marxist element, too, of having to analyze everything through the lens of economics and assuming that people are only making their decisions based on where they think they're going to get money or have gotten money.
00:54:21.000Based on how much the government is going to give them.
00:54:25.000The government absolutely does buy people's votes in this way.
00:54:28.000But you have to remember that even though the left tries to build these coalitions of people who they see as being oppressed and then just assume that they're all going to get along with each other.
00:54:38.000The truth is, the black community is more socially conservative than the Democratic Party would like for them to be.
00:54:44.000That's a really vague, oversimplified way of putting it.
00:55:26.000And also, I think because white people have been beaten down and basically forced to consume this narrative of our own guilt, white people are less likely to say politically incorrect things.
00:55:39.000I mean, black men don't have white guilt, so they are more likely to just say something politically incorrect when they believe it.
00:56:02.000It's not because he thinks he could win New York, but it's because the path for Republican domination over the House of Congress is through New York.
00:56:09.000So all of the districts surrounding New York City where people will come to his rallies from is the way Trump will win the House.
00:56:16.000So on Long Island, I would call it upstate, but right up north, White Plains, right above the city, all of these areas were right from the picking in the past midterm where Republicans had some seats and Republicans want to remain in those seats moving forward.
00:56:31.000And that's the way Trump's going to be able to be effective if elected in office because he will need Congress.
00:56:35.000But that sounds like Donald Trump has resigned to already having won the general and now he's going to pick up seats.
00:56:43.000Well, I think it's something that he doesn't want to forget about because I believe it was his first term where he was dealing with a slight majority and then at that midterm he lost his majority.
00:56:52.000I think he understands the importance of having Congress behind him as well because he can't be...
00:56:57.000People also forget that New York basically delivered the red wave.
00:57:01.000It was five seats in New York in 2022 that Lee Zeldin flipped.
00:57:05.000What I'm saying is that if Trump is willing to take time right now in the middle of the presidential cycle to go to New York, which he cannot win because he wants to help win congressional seats, then he feels like he's already won the general.
00:57:59.000Well, and all the Democrats have said, too, I mean...
00:58:01.000You can see it in their actions with the whole January 6th stuff, but they'll just work to impeach him if they have a majority in Congress or at least in the House and Senate.
00:58:09.000That's how they would literally spend the entire four years trying to do that.
00:58:15.000Maybe the typical swing that you see in the midterms where it goes for the party counter to the president, I think it'd be an interesting comparison to see if the blowback from not getting anything done and just focusing on politically motivated witch hunts against Trump Let's just be frank.
00:58:29.000He hasn't been re-elected and there have already been assassination attempts.
00:59:21.000But to my point, most Iranian would-be assassins that we've seen, whether it was against like John Bolton or other types like that, they have explicit ties to whether it's the IRGC or just Iran in its entirety.
00:59:35.000But this Pakistani guy was only tangentially linked to Iran through the fact that I think he had like a few family members who lived there.
00:59:42.000He was not part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and was the FBI that facilitated his entry into the United States via the southern border.
00:59:51.000But it was really interesting because in the affidavit that they had when they finally arrested him, all of the evidence that they used pointing to the rationale to arrest him, it had to do with acts that he committed after entering the United States.
01:00:03.000There was nothing to do with any of his activities before, which is historically sort of unprecedented when it comes to these foreign assassins.
01:00:11.000The bounty that they say this rando dude that they used to push this whole Iran plot that they say that Iran placed on Trump's life was $5,000.
01:00:20.000$5,000 when in comparison for John Bolton.
01:00:23.000I think it was hundreds of thousands of dollars over.
01:00:25.000So very weird, shady story going on with that guy.
01:00:40.000There was an independent report that said if the Secret Service does not have a fundamental change right now, the Secret Service cannot protect its designees.
01:00:47.000Did you hear about the motion that was brought forward in West Virginia?
01:00:56.000I don't know that they agreed to it, but it was proposed.
01:01:00.000When Kamala Harris always has the refrain, I guess she changed it a little bit slightly, when she said, oh, there's nothing I would change about a Biden presidency.
01:01:26.000The purpose of a system is what it does.
01:01:29.000I'm not saying that's how we should always analyze things, but it's very useful in this context.
01:01:33.000Let's jump to this story from the Wall Street Journal.
01:01:35.000Kamala Harris' agenda for black men will be open to all.
01:01:38.000Ooh, I can't wait to get my piece of these black men's money.
01:01:43.000So what was the point of Kamala Harris announcing that she was going to, like, legalize drugs and protect the crypto assets of black men if in the end it turns out to have been an illegal proposal that will now be open to anyone and everyone?
01:01:55.000Yeah, the point was to try and get black men to vote for her.
01:02:02.000And the administration knows that these proposals are illegal.
01:02:05.000She should know these proposals are illegal because her administration, the Department of Agriculture, was sued by white farmers claiming that the Department of Agriculture's program to prioritize black farmers for loans was actually in complete violation of everything, which it was.
01:02:42.000The purpose of farming is to feed all of us, not to make us feel all cheap and sentimental and good about ourselves because we have equity in farming.
01:03:04.000Firstly, I don't think she cares about following through with any of her campaign promises.
01:03:09.000I also don't think she cares about the law.
01:03:10.000So it's anyone's guess whether this is just a promise that was made that was never intended to be fulfilled or whether they're going to try to break the law anyway.
01:03:27.000It says, Vice President Kamala Harris' opportunity agenda for black men aims to shore up support from a pillar of the Democratic base with a key section promising $1 million loans that are fully forgivable to black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
01:04:37.000She also—part of the marijuana legalization program that she's offering is very similar to the one that was offered in New York.
01:04:44.000And what happened in New York is New York decriminalized weed and said that people who had passed marijuana convictions would be eligible for these licenses to open weed shops.
01:04:55.000But by the time they came up with their plan to give these licenses out, there were already all these weed shops all over the city.
01:05:02.000And so the city has been trying to like claw back the decriminalization to stop bodegas from selling loose joints.
01:05:10.000The domination from Democrats on their black constituency, that is how they went over so much of the black community.
01:05:17.000It's a dual handed sword in a way because it's hard to maintain it.
01:05:21.000You know, you won't be able to go much higher than that.
01:05:24.000And chances are that the other party is only going to be able to kind of make the inroads with the black community.
01:05:30.000That's what the Trump campaign has been trying to do, because, I mean, if you're at 80 percent, there isn't much more of the community to win over.
01:06:06.000But it's also crazy that so many young black men have shifted away From the Democratic Party that Obama has to be like, guys, is it because you won't vote for a woman?
01:06:17.000Well, here's another thing that people should really consider.
01:06:19.000They knew this before they brought her in.
01:06:21.000I mean, if anyone here was considering voting for this particular woman, here's something to consider.
01:06:28.000When Obama was elected, even though I didn't like his policies, right?
01:06:34.000And Matt Walsh has talked about this, but pretty much any conservative who was voting in this election or that election at that time will tell you, I wasn't glad he won, but if there was one silver lining that could have come from him being president, it was that race relations would improve, America wouldn't be seen as a racist nation anymore, and then race relations got way worse.
01:07:43.000So if you look at LexisNexis, you can see the instances of certain words appearance in newspapers around the world, not just in the United States.
01:07:51.000So Obama, It has nothing to do with Obama because it happened in every single country.
01:07:55.000What likely happened is that when Facebook implemented its algorithmic feed, when it initially started it was reverse chronological, but they realized that once you got to around 300 friends and or liked pages, things you were following, you couldn't keep up with the changes and this was resulting in a lower retention time on the website.
01:08:16.000So Facebook said, okay, let's use an algorithm to show people what they're more likely to want to see so they stay on the platform longer.
01:08:22.000Hence, if you post, one of the tricks on Facebook is to post, I just got married and had a kid.
01:08:59.000When I worked for Fusion, they had a marketing guy who laid this all out.
01:09:03.000Moms are the key demographic for sharing content and generating views on Facebook.
01:09:07.000So what happens is, in the late 2000s, they implement the algorithmic feed, which is basically words that are more likely to get clicked on and are more likely to be shown.
01:09:14.000You ended up with BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, Mike.com, etc.
01:09:20.000doing this massive shift when they realized, hey, we wrote 10 articles today.
01:09:23.000One article was, you know, John Kerry says this.
01:09:27.000The next article was police brutality, black man beaten.
01:10:39.000This created a pressure in one direction where all the alt-right channels, and not even necessarily white nationalists, but counter-anti-woke and channels that were like, what's wrong with being white?
01:10:49.000Started getting knocked way down, getting suspended and banned, and then all of the ultra-far-left crazy cultural Marxist stuff started getting promoted.
01:10:56.000That system is now cracking and buckling as Disney lost a billion dollars on a bunch of their movies.
01:11:01.000Kevin Feige reportedly fired a bunch of their activists.
01:11:37.000It would slowly generate more traffic, and it would cause an increase in people writing articles about these things.
01:11:44.000It's what advertisers would fund, so it created a natural push in this direction, and that's why you ended up with...
01:11:50.000Are you just blaming the social media networks and the platforms, or are you blaming the users or maybe bad users on the platforms at all, too?
01:12:46.000You see, if you saw a video where it's like a cop's beating a guy, you're gonna be like, hey man, that's not cool.
01:12:49.000But for every single article you read ever, that was Facebook driving it into people's minds.
01:12:55.000The best part about this is, and I mean that facetiously, a 10-year-old kid who signs up for Facebook, you're not supposed to, you're supposed to be 13, but he does, and the only thing he's seeing at the time is an endless feed of police brutality, Ten years later, Facebook is still dominated by this.
01:13:11.000This kid is 17 years old going, this whole country is racist and they murder black people every single day.
01:13:16.000And then you see these men in the street interviews where they say, how many innocent unarmed black people do you think are murdered every year?
01:13:32.000Obviously, I think 2020 was the most poignant example of how the government can tip the scales when it comes to the censorship on these platforms or promoting certain narratives.
01:13:41.000I agree with what you're saying, but I do think it maybe treats these social media platforms as sort of like independent entities away from any government overreach.
01:14:16.000That escalated until you got overt white nationalists active on platforms, and then these platforms were like, we have to ban all these people.
01:14:23.000There was an adpocalypse that were moving them.
01:14:25.000I think it's actually through these media machines, the politicians in the deep state are literally drinking the refuse of these platforms.
01:15:19.000And I said, because conservatives think misgendering is calling a female male pronouns and a liberal thinks misgendering is calling someone the pronouns they don't wish to be called.
01:15:29.000And it's almost like he had never heard that argument in his life.
01:15:32.000So what happens is they start consuming a reality based on the algorithms that they've built, warping their frame of mind.
01:15:39.000You end up with young people who are entering into the intelligence agencies, entering into politics, and they're saying this is the way the world should be.
01:15:47.000They then go to the social media platforms and say, we don't want far-right white nationalist fascists like Donald Trump winning.
01:15:53.000We can't allow that to happen because they are swimming in the refuse of the social media creation.
01:15:59.000I also think, too, it's quite interesting if you analyze government grants coming from the United States government to combat what they call misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories.
01:16:10.000Those terms were only really started to be heavily used circa like 2016.
01:16:15.000If you look, it's like 97% of them are post 2016.
01:16:20.000And I think you nailed it when you said it was tethered to Trump winning.
01:16:45.000That the UK and the United States have a weird sort of axis of evil when it comes to funding these censorship programs, that it's all inextricably linked to Brexit, too.
01:16:53.000I think they try to spin that right as kind of a result of disinformation.
01:16:57.000And it gets to, I'll never forget, there was a grant from the National Science Foundation just about a year ago, where they weren't content with just debunking.
01:17:06.000Misinformation, but they wanted to pre-bunk misinformation, particularly tied to the rise of populism.
01:17:13.000And it was sort of saying the quiet part out loud.
01:17:15.000But I think that they realized that the ad hominem assaults weren't working.
01:17:19.000So they had to pivot to the misinformation.
01:17:21.000When Bud Light happened, I predicted we will find out that a millennial woman who recently got a promotion launched this campaign, which is destroying the brand.
01:17:33.000happened yeah that is what happened because it is these these millennials who have very little literacy in media go on a facebook and the only things they see is being slammed with social justice because websites like mike.com were chasing money and this this is there's evidence of this mike.com started off as a ron paul libertarian website why the ron paul love revolution was viral online and it generated traffic and made money when the algorithm started to change
01:18:00.000mike.com turned into a social justice website that pursued weird leftist garbage That was it.
01:18:26.000I think there's another element here too, which is that there was a perfect storm.
01:18:32.000Because what the left needs is to be able to point to groups of people who they claim are oppressed, and then on that basis say that there's some reason why we need to completely restructure this society.
01:18:45.000That in your day-to-day life seems to be working really well, but actually is it because of how this group of people is being treated.
01:18:52.000And so right around like 2012, 2013, it became clear that the left had a cultural victory when it came to homosexual behavior.
01:19:00.000And you end up having gay marriage forced onto every state throughout the entire country by the Supreme Court.
01:19:06.000And so at that time, they didn't have as much of a leg to stand on and say gay people are oppressed.
01:19:11.000And they weren't at a point where they felt comfortable saying, if you don't bake the cake, you bigot, then you're an oppressor.
01:19:18.000And so it happened to be very convenient that they could shift into this narrative of remember, remember how black people were oppressed?
01:19:28.000All of these things that we know aren't true.
01:19:30.000And then you get a perverse world where Obama, who's married to someone that like half this country thinks is a man, is lecturing us on masculinity.
01:19:39.000That's only because of Joan Rivers, right?
01:20:05.000They can't say there's anything wrong with that.
01:20:07.000If Michelle Obama thinks there's something wrong with being called a trans woman or that a trans woman is a less legitimate woman, then Michelle Obama is a bigot.
01:20:15.000Remember that guy who did the video where he's asking the woman, he was like, how was transitioning for you?
01:20:47.000It's obviously not a nice thing to say, but it's true.
01:20:51.000People have done this online, where they will casually refer to liberal women who are pro-transgender as well-passing trans women, and invariably the women get offended.
01:21:41.000And I was thinking like, it's a bad time to be a big lady because, you know, if you're a big lady with like a strong jawline, everyone's just going to think you're a man.
01:21:55.000You can't be a handsome woman anymore.
01:21:57.000Now it's like because of trans, you know, because of trans, if you're not like, if you aren't obviously feminine looking, you're screwed and everyone thinks you're a fella.
01:22:09.000If you said beautiful man, I feel like you'd imagine like Gaston.
01:22:14.000No, you say beautiful man, you think like Fabio or whatever.
01:22:18.000Yeah, but he's still like a big, muscular dude.
01:23:01.000You would assume someone dressed as a woman was a woman.
01:23:04.000Now you can't make that assumption anymore.
01:23:06.000My other hot take, I do also think that the normalization and increase in plastic surgery among young women, which in some ways is analogous to what a lot of men get who want to become trans, it's like superimposing the same artificial features.
01:23:38.000The point about them all looking the same.
01:23:39.000Part of what's so fascinating is the reason we have these plastic surgeries is because we live in this Western liberal society where we've maximalized individualism and allow people to make their own choices.
01:23:48.000And the hilarious irony is people use those individual freedoms to become as much like everyone else as possible.
01:23:55.000To literally change the way their face looks.
01:23:58.000To look more like what society says the average face should ideally look like.
01:24:04.000And it's bad for everybody else who's just like, I don't want to have knives on my face.
01:24:09.000Yeah, well, and part of what's hilarious about it, though, is the more stringent and conservative and traditional your social roles are, the more uniqueness you get among people.
01:24:20.000Because those are societies that say, no, you can't slice your face up in the name of self-expression, right?
01:24:25.000We could do reconstructive surgery if something horrible happened to you.
01:24:28.000And that's a pretty traditional society, isn't it?
01:24:32.000In South Korea, there's like a huge proportion of plastic surgery.
01:24:36.000There was actually a man who sued his wife because their children were ugly.
01:24:40.000And it turned out that he didn't know she'd had all that plastic surgery.
01:24:45.000Any society that allows for plastic surgery, so long as it's voluntary, has clearly bought into the idea of individualism to the point where they think an individual has the right to change the way that their face looks for non-medically necessary reasons.
01:24:59.000People will say to me, oh, if you're opposed to minors getting trans surgery, then you must be opposed to them getting boob jobs and nose jobs, too.
01:26:29.000I also think it's a gross look on people, but I also think there's something to do with social media, with women comparing themselves to each other at such a young age.
01:26:54.000When you went home from middle school 50 years ago, you were home.
01:26:57.000Now when you go home from middle school, you're looking at pictures of your classmates on TikTok and Instagram and comparing yourselves to them.
01:27:05.000I feel like a lot of the stuff we're talking about tonight is downstream.
01:27:09.000Social media is frying the brains of young people.
01:27:12.000Not only young people, of all people in media.
01:27:14.000I really don't think kids should be able to use these platforms.
01:27:16.000It's the pain that parents allow them to.
01:27:17.000Technically, their TOS says they shouldn't.
01:27:19.000Have you noticed all the commercials for TikTok and Instagram saying they now have parental controls?
01:27:25.000You can specifically remove words that they won't be able to search for or see if it appears in any way related to the post.
01:27:31.000And this is what I will say to any parent who is considering allowing their child to use TikTok because of parental controls.
01:27:37.000Anyone who produces content will tell you there are certain words you can use as workarounds that communicate the same message.
01:27:44.000Either by putting an asterisk somewhere or spelling a word a little bit differently, and you're just not going to be able to block out all the variations.
01:27:50.000The reality is, if you're giving your kid a phone that has TikTok on it, they're gonna find the stuff that you've put parental controls on it to prevent them from seeing.
01:28:07.000There's a disconnect when you look in the mirror and what you're used to seeing and then you're like, wait, I look bad.
01:28:11.000I need to get X. Well, it's because they see other women who look a certain way and they think, I should look like that, but it's a filter.
01:28:17.000What they should realize, though, is that disconnect never goes away.
01:28:20.000I mean, I remember my grandma when she was like 86 and she was telling me, honey, I feel the same way as I did when I was 18 on the inside.
01:28:29.000And then I look in the mirror and there's this old lady.
01:28:51.000The other component of it is that young people will see posts from their friends and their fake and their highlight reels and they think my life should be that way and they get depressed because of it.
01:29:05.000Yeah, this is one of the massive issues with materialism.
01:29:08.000If the only thing that actually matters is what's right in front of you and there's no spiritual reality, if you don't have all of the coolest things on the planet, you're not the most attractive person, you don't have the most money, well, then what's the point of being alive?
01:29:18.000And then here's the reality, is if you have materialist mindset, even once you get to that point, it doesn't start to feel like things suddenly matter because you got all the shiny new toys.
01:30:29.000But also, one thing that happened is that all of the boomers, they were just so intent on casting off anything that their parents taught them, casting off church, not going to church, like all of that stuff, because they wanted to stay young forever.
01:30:42.000And they kept the mindset of like, I'm a young person bucking the system until even now, like they even still the boomers have that mindset.
01:30:51.000Well, it's so hilarious, too, because I cannot think of a more ill-suited group to question the choices of their parents than baby boomers.
01:31:01.000The greatest generation had a lot of flaws.
01:31:03.000People worshipped them, and they shouldn't.
01:31:04.000But the truth is, the greatest generation went from living through the Great Depression to fighting in and winning the Second World War, and then their children looked at them and said, What do you know, Mom and Dad?
01:31:16.000I'm gonna go listen to like rock and roll and sleep with strangers and get high!
01:31:20.000That's what life's really about, you guys.
01:31:23.000Your parents went from the Great Depression to the most prosperous economy in the history of the world at that point over the course of 50 years.
01:31:42.000Wasn't it something like a third of Americans were involved in the war effort or something?
01:31:47.000But serving, if you want to say they fought the war, the people who came back as veterans and had a message to instill in their children, I think the issue is the majority of the greatest generation actually didn't.
01:32:00.000It's true, but we had an entire war economy.
01:32:03.000So even right after the suffering of the Great Depression, you had to ration the My point is, the people who fought in the war, the veterans, probably had a strong message for their children, and their children heard it, but that's about one-third of the boomers.
01:32:15.000That means, like, 66% told their kids nothing.
01:32:19.000Well, and also, what was the media telling their kids?
01:32:22.000I think that the greatest generation was not skeptical.
01:32:27.000Yeah, we've actually pulled up several of the World War II Life magazines.
01:32:32.000On the counter, in the green room, we have the Life magazine with the bomber of Japan smoking a cigarette, and it explains how the U.S. nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
01:32:41.000And then I have the surrounding magazines where you can read what people thought during World War II, and I gotta tell you, it had nothing to do with the Holocaust, Germany, or Jews.
01:32:51.000That Enola Gay, it's in Chantilly, Virginia.
01:34:01.000Well, no, I'm just saying that the greatest generation raised the boomers, even though I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the men who fought in World War II, including my grandfather.
01:37:13.000Tried the live stream out for a couple months, started the RNC, and ultimately I think it doesn't work, and YouTube punishes you for doing it, so I switched back to doing segments.
01:37:21.000So now there are just segments instead of a two-hour live show.
01:37:27.000Veteran Biker says, invite a veteran with a YouTube channel on.
01:37:56.000Nice Bobby says, Tim, you keep talking about Star Trek and praising it, but when are you going to watch the true king of 90s sci-fi, Babylon 5?
01:38:03.000If you can only watch one episode, watch season four, episode eight, The Illusion of Truth.
01:41:54.000The thing though, they would never show, though, what they wouldn't show is that Cain is a horrible brute who is not capable of redemption.
01:45:03.000I think for our music video working on, it's going to be aliens turn everyone into zombies and then chickens fight to save the earth from the aliens.
01:46:16.000But my understanding is that there was some slang that she had heard used in the black community that she misappropriated and misunderstood.
01:46:23.000Like, they would say they washed their collard greens in a tub.
01:46:26.000They would call it a tub, but it wasn't a literal bathtub.
01:49:02.000Although there was a really funny meme that I saw where someone wrote out, let me see if I can find it because reading it's absolutely hilarious.
01:50:58.000The audience really seems to be liking it.
01:50:59.000Yeah, but, you know, aren't you kind of mean to Kamala?
01:51:02.000Yeah, I guess if there's one weakness, there's one weak point of that video, it's that I do make fun of Kamala Harris, which I think would upset you guys.
01:51:22.000Official Lucid Traveler says, you are all under deliberate attack from your own government, which is occupied by foreign governments, and your intelligence agencies prepare yourselves.
01:52:15.000Listen, I completely and totally understand why she's as disliked as she is, but it's really remarkable.
01:52:22.000I mean, I remember in 2016 when the popular brave thing to say was that you didn't like Donald Trump.
01:52:29.000But I don't remember people being this tired of him, or this annoyed with him.
01:52:34.000There's a lot of people who don't like him, don't get me wrong, but Kamala is someone the media is constantly telling us we should love and is great for this country, and it just hasn't taken.
01:52:42.000She literally has the entire mainstream media behind her pushing for her candidacy, and people still really don't like her.
01:54:24.000I literally would have said, if I was Bret Baier, ask the question, and then I would just let her talk, and then once she stopped talking, I would say...
01:54:53.000Yeah, honestly, no, that would have been hilarious if he tried that twice and then his follow-up was, how would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
01:56:25.000Ghost Crusader says, Tim, can you ask Libby if she ever remembers seeing Democratic presidential campaign ads playing on New York TV in the past?
01:56:31.000I don't recall seeing any for presidential elections, but this time I see four or five Kamala ads every morning.
01:56:37.000I don't remember that but I never had TV. Oh, no TV, huh?
01:56:44.000I do remember when I was a kid, and my mom had cable, and there were still only five channels, but it was the only way to get reception.
01:56:52.000And the clicker, like, didn't even have numbers on it.
01:56:54.000You just had to go, like, back and forth, and it had volume.
01:56:57.000But I don't remember anything other than her making me watch what was then called the McNill-Lair News Hour, which she always made me watch.
01:58:34.000I would rather give the shells and the missiles to the Helene victims than Ukraine.
01:58:39.000Well, also, there's two points to make there.
01:58:42.000Well, they could just sell them on eBay to North Korea and get some housing.
01:58:45.000Well, this is the argument that leftists will make, and even, like, establishment liberal types, they'll say, well, you know, we're actually sending equipment over there.
01:59:37.000They don't have to be mutually exclusive.
01:59:38.000It's just a good partisan thing to be like, when the government does anything, why don't you do this too?
01:59:43.000But it makes sense to say, why is the government so invested in giving money and resources and equipment away to foreign countries and not in helping its own people?
02:00:00.000You're correct that a lot of our budget does, but when people see a response to a disaster botched, when virtually everyone can agree that one of the basic duties of a federal government, if we're going to have one, is to do something like that, but we see the government readily send money to foreign countries, even though that's something that's pretty controversial among the population, I think it's reasonable to say our government is not actually...
02:00:21.000It's not nearly as controversial as the people.
