Summary

Rikkidee has dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, and now we have a special guest to talk about it. Plus, new data on Democratic primary voters in swing states shows a dramatic drop in support for Kamala D.C. in the latest CNN/ORC poll, and more.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 So yesterday, it was just a little taste.
00:00:13.000 We heard from Shanann, RFK Jr.' 's VP pick, that they were considering dropping out to endorse Donald Trump.
00:00:20.000 But now, the reporting says that sources working with RFK Jr., it's seemingly confirmed RFK is going to be dropping out of the race on Friday to endorse Donald Trump.
00:00:33.000 Now again, it's still a bit speculative.
00:00:36.000 So we'll see exactly how this develops.
00:00:38.000 But apparently, RFK Jr.
00:00:40.000 is going to be in Arizona to address his supporters, and so is Donald Trump.
00:00:47.000 So the expectation is that RFK Jr.
00:00:50.000 is going to appear with Donald Trump at a rally to formally endorse him for president.
00:00:54.000 This could be huge.
00:00:55.000 We're talking a couple points, a huge bump.
00:00:59.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:01:01.000 And that's pretty big.
00:01:02.000 The betting markets, this is interesting now, are tied.
00:01:05.000 In aggregate, all the betting markets are now showing both Trump and Kamala are tied.
00:01:10.000 And Polly Market has Trump actually up, so this is interesting.
00:01:13.000 And new data coming out for ballot requests, mail-in ballot requests, are down among Democrats dramatically in certain swing states.
00:01:22.000 So it's looking pretty good for Donald Trump right now, we'll see.
00:01:25.000 DNC Night 3 is currently underway, so there will probably be some developments while we do this show.
00:01:31.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to casprew.com, buy Casprew Coffee.
00:01:34.000 It's good coffee.
00:01:34.000 Appalachian Nights, of course, is everybody's favorite, but hold on, man.
00:01:37.000 You gotta buy it.
00:01:38.000 We got all the different flavors.
00:01:39.000 We got Rise with Roberto Jr., Stand Your Grounds, and Mr. Boca's Pumpkin Spice Experience while supplies last.
00:01:46.000 I don't know how many do we have.
00:01:48.000 We have 337 left, and once they are gone, they are gone forever.
00:01:52.000 So maybe you buy the last of the Mr. Bocas Pumpkin Spice Experience and you save the bag as a little keepsake because it will never exist after this.
00:02:01.000 And of course we got Ian's Graphene Dream.
00:02:03.000 Lois had to do coffee.

00:02:49.000 I'm excited to be back.
00:02:51.000 What do you do?
00:02:51.000 Who are you?
00:02:52.000 Well, I was the creator of Project 2025.
00:02:55.000 You may have heard a little bit about it in the news.
00:02:58.000 I am a lawyer by training, New York refugee, 25 years in the big city.
00:03:05.000 Happy to be potted down in South Carolina now.
00:03:08.000 Really diehard Trump guy at base.
00:03:10.000 You know, I'm excited with this RFK announcement.
00:03:15.000 This is great news.
00:03:16.000 I do think we have to do some serious retooling of the campaign, though, to get on track.
00:03:22.000 We got a serious 80 days in front of us.
00:03:24.000 Right on.
00:03:25.000 Well, it should be fun.
00:03:26.000 Thanks for hanging out.
00:03:26.000 We got Ian hanging out.
00:03:27.000 Hi, everyone.
00:03:28.000 And yeah, I checked out, you're talking about organization and how people in the Republican Party, at least the criticisms I've been getting, is that they lack organization.
00:03:28.000 Thanks, Tim.
00:03:36.000 So the Project 2025 is like an actual stab at organizing, like a legitimate organizational tool.
00:03:42.000 It got a lot of bad media coverage.
00:03:42.000 It's cool.
00:03:44.000 So I'm glad you're here to kind of talk about it and explain it.
00:03:47.000 Libby is here as well.
00:03:48.000 I'm here.
00:03:49.000 I'm with the Postmillennial.
00:03:49.000 I'm Libby Emmons.
00:03:50.000 Glad to be here.
00:03:51.000 And Raymond G. Stanley Jr.' 's back.
00:03:53.000 Hey friends, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
00:03:55.000 I am Facilities Maintenance here at TimCast.
00:03:57.000 And if you have the power of graphene, you can manifest me coming onto the show like you did last night.
00:04:02.000 It's true.
00:04:03.000 Also, is that a manly cup?
00:04:05.000 It is very, yes.
00:04:06.000 It's literally called manly and there's like bull on it.
00:04:09.000 Well, it is also Good Ranchers, so they know what's up.
00:04:09.000 Yeah.
00:04:12.000 Alright, alright, that was clever, very clever.
00:04:15.000 Alright, well let's jump into the show.
00:04:17.000 We got the story here from the Postmillennial.
00:04:20.000 RFK Jr.
00:04:20.000 to drop out of presidential race by Friday and endorse Trump.
00:04:25.000 The news comes as Kennedy is scheduled to host an event in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday afternoon to address the current historical moment and his path.
00:04:32.000 And we don't normally do this, but a super chat just came in from Paul Taskelos, who says, Nicole Shannon just said in an interview with Dr. Drew, they'll be making one of the biggest announcements in American political history on Friday.
00:04:45.000 Oh boy, I'm excited.
00:04:46.000 It's exciting.
00:04:46.000 Trump's going to be in Phoenix on Friday as well.
00:04:49.000 It seems like it's all lining up.
00:04:52.000 And RFK has not announced where he's going to be making his announcement.
00:04:56.000 I think it's going to be on stage with Trump.
00:04:59.000 Yeah, well that's sort of, you know, what I'm indicating here.
00:05:01.000 That's what I'm hoping for, yeah.
00:05:03.000 I think that would be great.
00:05:06.000 So we do have this other story, too, because yesterday we heard they were considering it, and that was big news.
00:05:11.000 Trump was asked about it, and he says he would consider appointing RFK Jr.
00:05:15.000 to a role in his administration, and everyone's saying head of Health and Human Services or head of the CIA.
00:05:20.000 The CIA would be poetic justice.
00:05:22.000 Yeah, because this guy killed his uncle.
00:05:25.000 Sure, and his dad.
00:05:27.000 But HHS might be the more appropriate position for him.
00:05:29.000 I kind of feel like this is Trump learning from his mistakes.
00:05:32.000 He must do this.
00:05:34.000 I was saying back in 2020 that if Trump appointed Tulsi Gabbard to a national security position of some sort, or advisor, He would have won.
00:05:40.000 If he had brought in Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard, I know a lot of people say, oh, Andrew Yang, he's a lefty, he wants UBI.
00:05:45.000 I'm like, the point is, you grab a huge percentage of voters by saying you will bring them in as advisors.
00:05:53.000 If he brings in RFK Jr.
00:05:54.000 and says he will be in my administration, he's going to jump, what, five points?
00:06:00.000 Ian then votes for him.
00:06:01.000 This is Trump being Trump, which is the good news.
00:06:04.000 Maybe the campaign's letting him go back to the original Trump.
00:06:07.000 I can't tell you how many MAGA people that I work with, really the hardcore, the most
00:06:12.000 based who are huge RFK Jr. fans.
00:06:15.000 And they kind of always were kind of talking about it.
00:06:17.000 But remember, RFK Jr. went and interviewed for a job in 2016 at Trump Tower.
00:06:24.000 So their relationship goes back years.
00:06:27.000 And obviously there's a lot that doesn't, you know, some of his positions aren't square
00:06:33.000 with kind of America first, traditional America first.
00:06:37.000 But certainly there's no one better, I think, in the entire country to take on the administrative
00:06:43.000 state, particularly HHS.
00:06:45.000 So you see in our movement, so many medical freedom people, you count me right in with that group.
00:06:51.000 And just the excitement to have somebody either of his caliber at HHS or CDC, FDA, or of course going to really clear house at the agency.
00:07:02.000 The pharmaceutical lobby is legit, like so powerful.
00:07:06.000 They've got 1800 lobbyists, I think, and there's only 550 people in Congress.
00:07:11.000 So like, it's like a three to one ratio.
00:07:13.000 And I think it's just the pharmaceuticals.
00:07:14.000 Is that all lobbyists?
00:07:15.000 Or is that just the pharma?
00:07:16.000 I mean, that's a lot of but there's a lot of pharmaceutical stuff.
00:07:16.000 I don't know.
00:07:19.000 And every time I hear Joe Biden say, you know, we took on the pharmaceuticals companies, and we beat them.
00:07:25.000 I'm like, you paid them billions of dollars for vaccines that nobody wanted.
00:07:29.000 We do have this clip that I just pulled this up.
00:07:31.000 Let's play this clip from Ask Dr. Drew.
00:07:34.000 Let me ask you one direct question.
00:07:36.000 Yeah.
00:07:37.000 Should we have our ear to the ground?
00:07:39.000 Is something going to come soon?
00:07:40.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:07:42.000 I think that Friday is going to be one of the biggest events in American election history.
00:07:50.000 What time?
00:07:50.000 Where should I tune in?
00:07:52.000 Awesome.
00:07:53.000 The details will be shared.
00:07:54.000 Where?
00:07:55.000 Go to Bobby's X account and Team Kennedy will be releasing a press release as well.
00:08:00.000 Okay, you heard that.
00:08:01.000 So let's all... Let me ask you, Jim... I wonder when.
00:08:03.000 I wonder when.
00:08:05.000 Let me actually pull up the... Let's see if we can get the current polling where... Let's see where we're currently at.
00:08:13.000 So we've got the latest polls here, 538.
00:08:15.000 And let's see what we got.
00:08:19.000 Right now, UGov has him at 3%.
00:08:22.000 We've got Big Village with Kennedy at 5%.
00:08:25.000 That's huge.
00:08:26.000 We have another UGov poll that has Kennedy at 2%.
00:08:29.000 Interesting.
00:08:30.000 Redfield and Wilton Strategies has Kennedy at 3%.
00:08:33.000 Outward Intelligence has Kennedy at 7%.
00:08:36.000 So I think it's fair to say it's around a five percentage point.
00:08:40.000 It's currently where he's sitting at.
00:08:42.000 It's down from where he was.
00:08:43.000 I'm wondering if he will get every single one of his supporters, those who say they're voting for RFK, how many of them will actually vote for Trump?
00:08:51.000 You think so?
00:08:51.000 90%.
00:08:52.000 Yeah.
00:08:53.000 That's a high number.
00:08:54.000 Are you going to?
00:08:55.000 Oh yeah.
00:08:55.000 I don't need to disclose who I'm voting for.
00:09:03.000 Ian said yesterday, if RFK Jr.
00:09:05.000 endorsed Trump, that's the only way he would end up voting for Trump.
00:09:08.000 I spent last night in the sauna thinking about secret ballots and the whole reason that we have secret ballots in the United States so you don't have to implicate yourself to your friends and neighbors so you don't get lynched by stupid mobs and stuff.
00:09:21.000 I don't feel compelled to talk about it right now.
00:09:23.000 When Ian walks out of the room, stick a I voted Trump sticker on his back.
00:09:26.000 Dude, now before we really get into this, I watched the Theo Vaughn interview with Trump.
00:09:31.000 Highly, highly recommend.
00:09:32.000 One hour interview.
00:09:33.000 Excellent.
00:09:33.000 Hilarious.
00:09:34.000 And Theo just kept pressing him on the lobbies.
00:09:36.000 And you could tell Trump was like, oh God, I don't want to talk about this.
00:09:39.000 But I will.
00:09:40.000 And acknowledging that the lawyer lobby is the most powerful lobby in the country and the pharmaceutical lobby is insanely powerful.
00:09:45.000 A lawyer lobby?
00:09:46.000 A lawyer lobby.
00:09:47.000 Trump kept saying that's the most powerful lobby in the country.
00:09:49.000 What is that?
00:09:50.000 It's like lawfare.
00:09:51.000 It's this guy right here.
00:09:52.000 No, I've been against them, actually.
00:09:54.000 You know, that's in the main, they talk about plaintiff lawyers in traditional, obviously the big kind of, but the big plaintiff lawyers.
00:10:04.000 But now you have to say it's a lot of the big corporate, too, with the Amlaw 100 are, you know, the largest law firms in the U.S.
00:10:11.000 is what we call big law.
00:10:13.000 But it's one of the most Not only do they all net over $100 million up to the billions, really, these firms, but they highly regiment the thinking of the very tiers of corporate society.
00:10:27.000 So a lot of this, the real way people think in terms of DEI, all this is...
00:10:37.000 That's the lawyer lobby?
00:10:38.000 Yeah, it's built out of the lawyer lobby and then infused through the entire corporate...
00:10:43.000 How long have they had power and control?
00:10:46.000 You know, the thing with the lawyers is that it used to always be a percentage of a corporate deal,
00:10:53.000 So, in these big mergers and acquisitions, they put off the transaction cost, maybe 2%.
00:10:59.000 So, as we had a big inflation in the economy, that 2% became bigger and bigger.
00:11:06.000 You're having $2 billion mergers now.
00:11:08.000 So, you take 2% of that and you slide that off to the lawyers.
00:11:12.000 So, it's arguably a small transaction price, but a lot to go to lawyers.
00:11:17.000 So, I think it really took off in the 90s, 80s and 90s.
00:11:22.000 Lawyering as a profession was really kind of a profession, literally that, but it became a business.
00:11:29.000 Right.
00:11:30.000 And they chart that actually with the American lawyer when they started talking about the profits per partner.
00:11:35.000 And that's where they started angling for higher and higher profits.
00:11:39.000 One of the things Trump kept mentioning is that the Litigation law fair is like if you sue and you lose, you don't have to pay the costs of the person you're suing.
00:11:50.000 But in like Europe, you do.
00:11:52.000 So they don't sue because if they sue and they don't win, they have to pay for it all.
00:11:56.000 But in America, because of the lobby, that's not how it works.
00:11:58.000 So they're incentivized to sue.
00:12:00.000 It's another suit.
00:12:01.000 So if if someone sues you, and they lose, you can then file to have them pay and you might lose.
00:12:09.000 Yep, and more lawyers make more money in the refiling and all that.
00:12:12.000 But, if you win that, so basically if someone sues you on totally bunk reasons, and correct me if I'm wrong, you're the lawyer, right?
00:12:19.000 If someone sues you for what is clearly bunk, you can basically file to have them pay your legal fees.
00:12:24.000 OK, this is what's called the English rule, which is a fee shifting.
00:12:27.000 Sometimes in contracts you'll see a fee shifting.
00:12:30.000 If there's a dispute clause, they'll say that the loser is going to pay the prevailing party's fees.
00:12:36.000 But in England, like you're right, that is the general law without putting it in the actual contract.
00:12:41.000 Here, this grows up because in the old days, plaintiff lawyers would be the only ones who could sue, right?
00:12:47.000 You can't.
00:12:49.000 The wealthy lawyers would get together and decide to sue.
00:12:53.000 To sue costs a lot of money.
00:12:54.000 You have to front the money.
00:12:57.000 Over time, though, we've had this development of what they call litigation finance, which
00:13:01.000 is allowing people, investors, to support the litigation freight at the beginning of
00:13:09.000 the litigation.
00:13:10.000 So now you have a wealthy company defending, but now you have a wealthy plaintiff who's
00:13:15.000 getting his or her money from a banker.
00:13:18.000 So with the advent of litigation funding, it's kind of lessened the need for this fee
00:13:24.000 shifting.
00:13:26.000 Myself, personally, I kind of still prefer the American rule, that it does lower the level of litigiousness in the society, but I am in favor... And what is that?
00:13:35.000 That you pay your own bills?
00:13:36.000 That you pay your own bills, but because, you know, there are still all these other aspects with bringing suit, but right now there's no question that I think the The complex nature of litigation is stacked in favor of large corporations, and less so more plaintiffs.
00:13:59.000 It's difficult right now to say, but bottom line is the lawyer class as a whole is very liberal and very wealthy, and conservatives have been systematically cut out of these big firms.
00:14:11.000 I like the idea of RFK bringing in...
00:14:15.000 I'm sorry, RFK joining Trump, and then maybe Trump might go with Tulsi Gabbard.
00:14:19.000 I like the idea.
00:14:19.000 Some of the big MAGA fans might not be really happy about that, but I like the idea of a bigger tent, a bigger force.
00:14:25.000 If we're really going to go stop these Democrats and these Communists, we need more people.
00:14:30.000 The Trump fans are going to cheer for whatever Trump says.
00:14:33.000 If Trump, you know, so as we already heard, he was asked a question, would you bring him in the administration?
00:14:38.000 He says, I've never been asked something like that, but probably, yeah, I like the guy.
00:14:41.000 And so you're instantly going to have, now you're going to see Trump's diehards being like, oh, what a genius.
00:14:46.000 that was always the good idea even though Trump himself was calling RFK nuts and Trump's surrogates
00:14:52.000 were calling RFK nuts not that long ago and now I do find this funny. Trump put out a statement a
00:14:57.000 while ago several months ago where he's like RFK could be worse than Biden we don't like the guy
00:15:01.000 he's not very good and now he's like I've always liked him and you know yeah I probably got a place
00:15:05.000 for him but but I don't really care about that.
00:15:08.000 That's politics.
00:15:09.000 When the primary happens, everybody's cutthroat, and then they say, okay, okay, you win, you win, let's come back together.
00:15:16.000 You know, there's a lot of people who'll never like Nikki Haley, but she's behind Donald Trump.
00:15:21.000 And so no one, like now, it's like no one's attacking Nikki Haley anymore because she's not in the position to attack Trump and push ideas we don't like, like she's pro-war or whatever.
00:15:29.000 And so we're just like, yeah, sure, okay, fine.
00:15:31.000 Trump called Ted Cruz lying Ted.
00:15:34.000 Lion Ted!
00:15:35.000 That's what he called him.
00:15:36.000 And then as soon as the primary was over, and Ted Cruz got behind Trump, his fans called him Lion, like roar, like Lion Ted.
00:15:43.000 They were like, there you go.
00:15:44.000 Well, and now Ted Cruz is very pro-Trump.
00:15:47.000 Yeah.
00:15:47.000 He talks about it on his podcast all the time.
00:15:50.000 He's like very in favor.
00:15:51.000 I think there's something impressive about a leader that's willing to surround himself closely with people that he disagrees with and that disagree with him.
00:16:00.000 So there's a constant pushback because resistance is like the inception of growth.
00:16:04.000 You need people that are going to tell you when they think you're wrong.
00:16:07.000 And I'm really excited.
00:16:09.000 One of the things I like about Trump in his 78 years old, the Democrats, of course, trying to go like, he's too old to be president.
00:16:15.000 I'm like, well, Joe Biden was stumbling, bumbling Joe.
00:16:18.000 He had serious problems with communicating and muttering and his teeth falling out.
00:16:23.000 Trump doesn't seem to have those problems.
00:16:25.000 But there is a benefit to an old candidate who is still with it.
00:16:28.000 Donald Trump is very with it.
00:16:31.000 He's sharp, he's quick-witted, he's funny, and he doesn't care.
00:16:34.000 That's the benefit of someone in this position.
00:16:37.000 Now, don't get me wrong, I would prefer it if we didn't have all of these old people, just everybody's 80, everybody's 65 and up.
00:16:44.000 It's like, come on, we need some young people here.
00:16:46.000 But at least I'll say this.
00:16:48.000 Trump is pretty good.
00:16:49.000 He's with it.
00:16:51.000 And I do respect that he's at that point where he's just like, I don't care.
00:16:54.000 Like, shut up.
00:16:56.000 Been there, done that, seen it.
00:16:58.000 Whatever, we're over it.
00:16:59.000 You know, that reporter yelled at him when he was in, where was he in?
00:17:02.000 Howell or whatever?
00:17:02.000 Michigan?
00:17:03.000 Howell, Michigan.
00:17:03.000 That was a great moment.
00:17:05.000 And this is exactly what I'm talking about.
00:17:07.000 She's like, Kamala Harris attacked you for coming here because the town is associated with white supremacy.
00:17:11.000 And he goes, excuse me, excuse me, who is here in 2021?
00:17:13.000 And she goes, Joe Biden.
00:17:14.000 Thank you.
00:17:15.000 And then he just walks away, just walks away from the mic.
00:17:17.000 And I'm like, that's what I'm talking about.
00:17:19.000 That's the, I'm done with this.
00:17:21.000 Doesn't seem like he's trying to impress anybody right now.
00:17:23.000 He's just doing what he wants to do.
00:17:24.000 Good.
00:17:25.000 I like it.
00:17:25.000 Good.
00:17:26.000 I appreciate it.
00:17:26.000 He doesn't need to impress people.
00:17:28.000 He won the base.
00:17:29.000 Well, he does just at least need to convince people and be as convincing as possible.
00:17:36.000 And the Theovan interview was interesting because I saw some commentary where, so he was in, where was he, Asheville today?
00:17:43.000 North Carolina?
00:17:44.000 Was he?
00:17:44.000 Oh yeah, he was in North Carolina.
00:17:45.000 And a woman fainted.
00:17:46.000 Yeah, and he stepped out from behind the- We should pull that up.
00:17:50.000 We should pull that up.
00:17:51.000 Do you guys have that on Post Millennial?
00:17:52.000 Yeah, we have it.
00:17:53.000 I'm gonna pull that one up.
00:17:54.000 We're just talking about it on Vaughn's interview.
00:17:56.000 That's wild, about people having heart attacks at the Muhammad Ali fight.
00:17:58.000 And he stepped out and he eschewed his own protection to see how this woman was doing.
00:18:05.000 We got the story here.
00:18:07.000 Here we go.
00:18:07.000 Here's the story from the Post Millennial.
00:18:09.000 Breaking!
00:18:09.000 President Trump leaves protection of bulletproof glass to check on women suffering health emergency at North Carolina rally.
00:18:17.000 The president was met with cheers from the crowd as he walked off the stage in what individuals described in social media as a great act of bravery and humility.
00:18:24.000 He hugged the woman.
00:18:25.000 You had this, and then you had the Theo Vaughn interview.
00:18:28.000 And the commentary that I'm hearing is that advisors told Trump, someone did, you've got to soften on the edges and show some humility.
00:18:38.000 You've got to show empathy and compassion and not be so angry all the time.
00:18:41.000 And so with the Theo Vaughn interview, he's calm, relaxed, down to earth, talking about these issues like he's a dude hanging out with you.
00:18:49.000 And then you have this moment where he walks out of the bulletproof glass, which is brilliant in so many ways.
00:18:55.000 It's a great opportunity for him, reminding people of the assassination attempt on his life, showing that he's not going to be held back by it, and then showing empathy for a woman.
00:19:04.000 So I think, I think he knows what he's doing.
00:19:07.000 And I think this is a tremendous improvement for his campaign.
00:19:10.000 So this is, I think, overall, just great news and smart strategy.
00:19:13.000 I'm nervous about the stepping out behind the bulletproof glass.
00:19:17.000 Oh, yeah.
00:19:17.000 I don't know if I want that from my military commander right now.
00:19:21.000 We need him safe.
00:19:22.000 This was also his first outdoor rally since Butler.
00:19:25.000 But this is Trump.
00:19:27.000 This is intuitive Trump.
00:19:28.000 This is ultimately Trump being Trump.
00:19:31.000 And I think that's a mark change.
00:19:32.000 Even last week, we had Corey Lewandowski come on onto the campaign.
00:19:38.000 You can already see the effects.
00:19:39.000 Yep, smart move.
00:19:41.000 This is the OG of the OGs, right?
00:19:44.000 He is the original gangster.
00:19:46.000 He's the number one Trump employee, the first guy Trump ever hired.
00:19:50.000 So we have Corey to thank for President Trump in the first place, really.
00:19:55.000 But, you know, what his book is essentially is Let Trump Be Trump.
00:19:59.000 And if you knew Trump, like, I lived in New York for 20 years.
00:20:02.000 My whole family's from New York.
00:20:04.000 This is what this guy does.
00:20:06.000 He would write anonymous checks to, well, not anonymous checks, but send off checks anonymously.
00:20:13.000 To people he'd read about in the newspapers and always kind of be like checking in on people.
00:20:18.000 You listen to so many stories about people he personally meets and then just stays with them like even like a Bob Craft.
00:20:24.000 He's like calling the guy continuously, but you know, that's the nature of the man.
00:20:29.000 Take a look at this tweet from Newsweek, which is getting everybody all riled up.
00:20:33.000 Donald Trump suddenly stops rally and asks for, quote, a doctor, please.
00:20:37.000 I was wondering how they're going to twist this.
00:20:39.000 Yeah.
00:20:40.000 Isn't that amazing?
00:20:41.000 Newsweek Newsweek seems a little schizophrenic.
00:20:44.000 Sometimes they're like in favor of Trump and sometimes they have this ridiculous spin.
00:20:48.000 This is not a negative story.
00:20:50.000 This is schizophrenic clickbait.
00:20:52.000 Yeah, it's weird.
00:20:53.000 It's weird.
00:20:54.000 Donald Trump stopped his rally and asked for a doctor because a woman fainted and he walked out to help her, but they're trying to trick people.
00:21:00.000 They want to trick people into thinking Trump collapsed and said, oh, my heart.
00:21:04.000 They're lying.
00:21:05.000 But anyway, now that we've roasted Newsweek, here's a story from Newsweek.
00:21:09.000 Weapons found at Donald Trump Asheboro rally.
00:21:12.000 Person arrested.
00:21:12.000 So is Asheboro North Carolina?
00:21:15.000 Did I get the city wrong?
00:21:17.000 Asheboro, North Carolina.
00:21:18.000 I said Asheville.
00:21:20.000 I was wrong.
00:21:20.000 Weapons were found there, and apparently somebody was arrested.
00:21:23.000 Police arrested a man at the rally location at 4.30 p.m.
00:21:25.000 after Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, had already rapped, and there have been no reports of injuries.
00:21:31.000 Okay, I mean, the woman fainted.
00:21:32.000 I guess she's okay, though.
00:21:33.000 But look, I mean, this is crazy that Donald Trump, he steps out from behind his glass to check on some woman.
00:21:41.000 Here's my fear.
00:21:43.000 The people who want to hurt him show up disguised as rally attendees, and then a woman goes, whoa, and falls over.
00:21:49.000 When Trump comes out, that's when the bad guy and they're in it together.
00:21:52.000 Especially after this.
00:21:54.000 Now they know that he's willing to step out from behind the bulletproof glass.
00:21:57.000 They might be able to incentivize him to do that.
00:22:00.000 Yeah.
00:22:01.000 Well, you know, we do have to keep the national discourse on the assassination attempt, and it's kind of scary that the campaign was able, you know, ineptly to let the attention be drawn away from it.
00:22:13.000 Like, it's a month now later, and You know, essentially, he's even or underwater in some of the polls.
00:22:22.000 So what happened with the Secret Service?
00:22:26.000 Congress really needs to dig in on this.
00:22:29.000 And the campaign needs to say, look, don't go on break.
00:22:32.000 Let's actually have the hearings and get to the bottom of this.
00:22:36.000 Because you're right, we all have the same concern.
00:22:39.000 About about his health and welfare his whole family, you know, my little kids.
00:22:43.000 We have little kids at home every night We say prayer for his security and health and and for that of his family But as someone who's been in a lot of these environments I've always been alarmed by Really what seemed to me to be a little bit lapse.
00:23:00.000 I was active security when when you're there and and and You know, it's ultimately the Secret Service is a government agency, right?
00:23:09.000 And nothing government does is going to be the way you want it.
00:23:12.000 You have to stay on government.
00:23:14.000 So the question is really for the campaign.
00:23:17.000 Like, what are you doing to ensure his security?
00:23:20.000 And securing his security means keeping it in as a frontal issue for the American people.
00:23:26.000 You know what I'm most concerned about?
00:23:28.000 a drone attack from directly above because everybody's got their eyes out
00:23:32.000 but who's looking straight up and I mean these things can just come right down at
00:23:36.000 their target now I mean we're in modern warfare age and we're at war basically
00:23:40.000 the country's supporting a war in Israel with the Israeli stuff in the Ukraine
00:23:45.000 stuff so we're like it and with open borders like the ability for people to
00:23:50.000 come across the border maybe from an enemy country Not that we're technically, we're not technically at war, but we're supporting wars.
00:23:55.000 I mean, it's been politicized.
00:23:57.000 There's a great linkage with RFK Jr.
00:24:00.000 How could they not give him, you know, Secret Service protection?
00:24:05.000 And Trump spoke out about that to get, to make sure that RFK Jr.
00:24:10.000 was getting that security protection.
00:24:11.000 But, you know, yes, there's a myriad threat matrix going on.
00:24:15.000 I don't even want to Spend time giving good ideas to anybody, but the point is that we have to be extremely vigilant in what's going on, and it's real.
00:24:28.000 And unfortunately, they'll keep coming.
00:24:32.000 What do you do?
00:24:33.000 Do you hide the guy away in a bunker for his entire presidency?
00:24:35.000 That's what they want.
00:24:36.000 They want to put Trump in the basement so that he can't campaign.
00:24:38.000 Yeah, and they want to scare him so he gives up.
00:24:41.000 I mean, I think somebody wanted to kill him.
00:24:44.000 And so it's not, it wasn't like they accidentally, it wasn't like they intentionally missed just to scare him.
00:24:49.000 No.
00:24:50.000 I think the preference for some of these people would be that Trump not survived.
00:24:54.000 And that's terrifying.
00:24:55.000 What was up with the Reagan assassination attempt?
00:24:57.000 I know that John Hinckley Jr.
00:24:59.000 Yeah, he was trying to impress with Jodie Foster or whatever.
00:25:01.000 The story is some random guy wanted to impress an actress.
00:25:04.000 There was no government collusion technically ever found or any of that.
00:25:09.000 And then he made George Bush... She was like 12 too, wasn't she?
00:25:11.000 What?
00:25:12.000 That's a story?
00:25:12.000 Jodie Foster.
00:25:13.000 Yeah, Jodie Foster was like 12 years old.
00:25:14.000 She was a taxi driver.
00:25:16.000 Yeah, a taxi driver.
00:25:17.000 And then, was that before he had George Bush Sr.
00:25:20.000 as his VP, or was it after the assassination?
00:25:22.000 No, he was president at the time.
00:25:25.000 And I remember it.
00:25:26.000 I was a little kid in grade school, and they wheeled in the TV and brought us there.
00:25:33.000 The Hinckley thing, and this is probably the case with all these sort of big events, we never get the full truth, right?
00:25:40.000 We get versions of it, and maybe if we, you know, put RFK Jr.
00:25:45.000 at the head of the CIA, we'll get the real truth.
00:25:48.000 But, you know, the Hinckley thing was weird, too, because he didn't just come from any family.
00:25:53.000 He came from a very wealthy family in Colorado who was very connected with some of the Republican families, even.
00:26:02.000 So it's very bizarre the way it happened, but you just saw the valor of the Secret Service at that time and the way these guys snapped too.
00:26:13.000 but also the incredible equanimity and poise of Ronald Reagan in that moment.
00:26:20.000 And you saw the same instinctual thing with Trump in the moment.
00:26:25.000 He gets up and says, fight, fight, fight.
00:26:27.000 He wants to assure everyone at the rally that he's OK.
00:26:32.000 And Reagan, he didn't even realize that he had really been shot until they got in the
00:26:38.000 car and they started fumbling around.
00:26:40.000 And it was more, as I understand, like the internal injuries, um, that were really threatening at the time.
00:26:46.000 So, um, there's great parallels in it, but, um, look, these, these threats come from all different directions.
00:26:53.000 So the secret service does an amazing job.
00:26:55.000 Although the secret service agent, the head of the secret service after the Reagan assassination did resign.
00:27:01.000 Yeah, I mean, in the old days people would resign whether or not they were ultimately to blame for it.
00:27:08.000 Because that was a matter of just allowing, you know, nothing is as big as one person.
00:27:14.000 But I think this is not an issue of incompetence or something that we need to be concerned about with resignations.
00:27:22.000 This is criminal investigation and arrests of Secret Service members.
00:27:26.000 We're now learning the other day, what was it, that it was local law enforcement that shot crooks on the rooftop, it was not Secret Service?
00:27:31.000 That's right, it was local law enforcement shot first and then Secret Service shot after.
00:27:36.000 So now we know, added to the story, is that local law enforcement were freaking out on more than one occasion because they had warned Secret Service repeatedly to put someone on the roof and Secret Service did not do it.
00:27:46.000 And it was actually local law enforcement that took out the shooter only after the fact.
00:27:51.000 So you mean to tell me, how many sniper teams?
00:27:53.000 They had four?
00:27:54.000 There were four counter-sniper teams?
00:27:55.000 Yeah, something like that.
00:27:57.000 And they just did nothing.
00:27:58.000 They just did nothing.
00:27:59.000 And the local law enforcement pre-warned them four days in advance.
00:28:04.000 And then, do we really have to go through this again?
00:28:06.000 Three hours before, an hour before, 26 minutes, 10 minutes, 2 minutes, and the Secret Service did nothing.
00:28:14.000 Nothing.
00:28:15.000 There's no way this is an accident.
00:28:18.000 No way.
00:28:19.000 You'd have to be psychotic to believe it.
00:28:21.000 You don't think it's just that level of incompetence?
00:28:24.000 That's an impossibility!
00:28:26.000 Now we're learning that the Secret Service was staring at the shooter and they didn't shoot back?
00:28:31.000 Look, if you want to make the argument, we are talking about degrees of psychosis, okay?
00:28:37.000 You make the argument that, first, the story was people were screaming, he's got a gun, and Secret Service didn't react.
00:28:42.000 And it goes, well, you know, they must have not realized, and Secret Service might not have thought that was one of their guys or a local, so they don't know what to do.
00:28:48.000 Then it was actually ten minutes before they saw the guy.
00:28:51.000 And he's walking around with an AR-15 or some kind of long gun.
00:28:54.000 And they're like, well, I mean, you know, maybe they didn't realize this guy wasn't supposed to.
00:29:00.000 It could be incompetence.
00:29:01.000 Every step of the way.
00:29:02.000 No, I'm done.
00:29:04.000 We're at the point now where we've learned that Secret Service saw a man shooting at people in the stands and did not return fire at all.
00:29:13.000 Do you think Donald Trump should have private security at this point?
00:29:17.000 I don't know.
00:29:18.000 I'm not going to advise Trump on what he should or shouldn't do with security, private security or otherwise.
00:29:22.000 But let me just stress, OK, the story now is that Secret Service did not, with counter snipers, did not even take out Crooks.
00:29:30.000 That is to imply that they let Trump out of the holding zone with an active threat, with a man walking around with an AR-15.
00:29:36.000 There's photos of Crooks walking around with a... I don't know if it was actually an AR-15.
00:29:41.000 It was a long gun of some sort.
00:29:43.000 There's photos of him walking around with it.
00:29:44.000 We kept asking, how did he get the gun?
00:29:46.000 How did he get on the roof?
00:29:48.000 And now we see photos of him just walking around with it.
00:29:50.000 We have text messages from, I think it was local law enforcement, saying like, hey, this guy just snuck in.
00:29:56.000 Local law enforcement saying, we warned them four days in advance.
00:29:59.000 All of those things together, and we get people going, I mean, honestly, just sounds like gross incompetence to me.
00:30:05.000 Now we're at the point where a guy's on a rooftop, Shooting into a crowd of people and Secret Service is like, what do we do?
00:30:11.000 Not incompetence.
00:30:12.000 That was a stand down.
00:30:13.000 No question.
00:30:14.000 A guy opens fire into the crowd, Trump hits the ground, and the Secret Service are just going like, hmm, I wonder what?
00:30:19.000 No.
00:30:20.000 BS.
00:30:20.000 They were going, wait.
00:30:22.000 Do you think Congress is going to actually be able to get to the bottom of that?
00:30:24.000 Because they're investigating.
00:30:26.000 Maybe in 50 years.
00:30:27.000 What'll happen is the documents will be thrown in the furnace.
00:30:31.000 No one will talk about it.
00:30:32.000 Trump survived, so it won't be nearly as big a deal as JFK.
00:30:35.000 Maybe in 50 years, you'll get some, like, it'll be some, I don't know, someone who is there, who is in their 20s or 30s, is going to be like, Oh yeah, that was definitely the Secret Service that did it.
00:30:45.000 And there's going to be some young guy going, whoa, you're saying it was the Secret Service that actually tried to kill Trump?
00:30:50.000 And then it'll be like, everybody agrees.
00:30:52.000 We're at the point now where everyone basically agrees the CIA killed JFK.
00:30:56.000 I mean, it's kind of wild.
00:30:58.000 RFK Jr.
00:30:58.000 says it.
00:30:59.000 Ron Paul's saying it.
00:31:00.000 And they won't release the documents, which kind of just makes it worse.
00:31:04.000 Again, I want to stress this to everybody listening.
00:31:07.000 Secret Service saw a man shooting into a crowd, killing a one man, critically injuring two, and striking the president on the side of the head through his ear, and they did not return fire.
00:31:18.000 Not incompetence.
00:31:20.000 Stand down.
00:31:20.000 If that's your secret police force, the SS, which is crazy, like the German Nazis had the SS too, that's wild.
00:31:26.000 It's the U.S.S.S.
00:31:27.000 U.S.S.S.
00:31:28.000 is a little different.
00:31:29.000 It's the U.S.S.S.
00:31:30.000 It's a secret service, secret police force, and if they failed at this level, Then I think, yeah, he should have private security.
00:31:38.000 Like Eric Prince, get on board if he hasn't already.
00:31:41.000 Contact the big guns.
00:31:42.000 You need full on 100% bulletproof.
00:31:46.000 I mean, I don't know how you trust anyone.
00:31:49.000 You shouldn't have to.
00:31:50.000 You should have some sort of mechanical defense.
00:31:52.000 But yeah, I wouldn't trust the system that failed.
00:31:56.000 Yeah, that seems kind of wacky.
00:31:57.000 And now that's the system that is keeping him safe at additional outdoor rallies.
00:32:03.000 I think two things.
00:32:05.000 This is the campaign's job to get done.
00:32:07.000 One is to ensure physical safety.
00:32:09.000 That's your primary mission, actually.
00:32:13.000 And like I said, you can't just rely on any government agency.
00:32:16.000 You have to be double-checking them and keeping them to account.
00:32:19.000 That's what we do in life.
00:32:21.000 There are some people in the chat saying that actually local law enforcement shot first, but didn't put him down, and then Secret Service fired after the fact.
00:32:27.000 They hit the rifle.
00:32:28.000 That's what happened?
00:32:29.000 The local law enforcement hit the rifle.
00:32:31.000 He recoiled back, and then once he was down, not shooting anymore, they took him out.
00:32:35.000 That sounds to me like they were like, the jig is up.
00:32:38.000 I don't buy it for a second.
00:32:40.000 When the photos came out... It also sounds like they didn't have to kill him.
00:32:44.000 Well, either way, when the photo came out showing him walking on the grounds near the president with a rifle, I'm just like, nah, that's not incompetence.
00:32:52.000 That is not incompetence.
00:32:53.000 They let him do it.
00:32:54.000 Congress should be at work right now.
00:32:56.000 They should not be on recess.
00:32:57.000 They should be digging into this because every day he's in danger and we have to get to the bottom of it.
00:33:03.000 And that's, you know, again, like we need the pressure to say to, I mean, we're supposed to be in charge of the House here.
00:33:09.000 No, Republicans aren't going to do anything.
00:33:11.000 They have to.
00:33:12.000 I mean, this is this is the sort of thing right now, you know, you have to make a case why you want to keep control of the House and get control of the Senate.
00:33:20.000 Well, they won't.
00:33:22.000 Well, let's jump to this story.
00:33:23.000 This is huge news.
00:33:25.000 It looks like the Biden administration was cooking the books.
00:33:28.000 This is crazy.
00:33:30.000 818,000 jobs vanish from jobs report.
00:33:33.000 So this is fascinating.
00:33:35.000 When we get people like Don Lemon going out in the street and being like, who are you going to vote for?
00:33:39.000 And they go, I'm voting for Trump.
00:33:40.000 He goes, why?
00:33:41.000 And they say, the economy was better.
00:33:42.000 And he goes, actually, that's not true.
00:33:43.000 The economy is better now.
00:33:45.000 Oh, turns out they were lying the whole time.
00:33:47.000 This is the largest revision in 15 years.
00:33:51.000 They accidentally added 818,000 jobs to the reports that have been coming out.
00:33:56.000 It was fake.
00:33:58.000 And this is huge.
00:34:00.000 The numbers are fake.
00:34:01.000 They're saying that the Biden admin was cooking the books to make it look like the economy was good.
00:34:06.000 And what's fascinating is, you know what?
00:34:08.000 Let me just pull this up from Civics.
00:34:10.000 Civics.com, state of the current economy.
00:34:13.000 Let's find it here.
00:34:15.000 Economy, current condition, and 38% very bad, 20% fairly good, 22% fairly bad, 9% very good.
00:34:19.000 bad. 20% fairly good, 22% fairly bad, 9% very good. Okay, so let's just say we had 60% saying
00:34:27.000 it's bad to some degree. Let's take a look at independent voters.
00:34:31.000 Independent voters overwhelmingly think the economy is bad.
00:34:33.000 44% say very bad, 25% say fairly bad.
00:34:34.000 Republicans even more so think the economy is bad.
00:34:36.000 percent, I'm sorry, 25 percent say fairly bad.
00:34:40.000 Republicans even more so think the economy is bad.
00:34:43.000 But for some reason, Democrats, it inverts.
00:34:48.000 For some reason, Democrats think the economy is good.
00:34:50.000 Now, that makes literally no sense at all, unless you realize these are people who think the economy is based off of government numbers, and Republicans and Independents.
00:34:59.000 Independents especially... Let's do this.
00:35:02.000 Let's say Republicans are just partisan, and they're like, ah, the Democrats are in charge, the economy is bad.
00:35:06.000 Fine, I'll take it.
00:35:08.000 Independents are saying the economy is bad, and these are people who are nonpartisan, saying, I don't care for either party, My bills are too expensive.
00:35:15.000 My groceries are too expensive.
00:35:16.000 The economy is not good.
00:35:18.000 Democrats think the economy is good because they've been cooking the books and putting out fake numbers, and now they've been rescinded right at the last minute.
00:35:25.000 Well, Democrats think that the economy is good because they have been told to believe what they are told, not to believe their senses and their eyes and ears.
00:35:34.000 So that's what they do.
00:35:35.000 They're told that the economy is good and they think, oh, I'm just struggling a little bit right now.
00:35:40.000 It's not actually an indicator of economic problems.
00:35:43.000 It's just me right now.
00:35:44.000 I'm just having some issues.
00:35:46.000 And they blame themselves.
00:35:47.000 This is true of my family members who are lefty and struggling and they're like, Oh, I'm just having a tough time.
00:35:52.000 I'm working three jobs.
00:35:53.000 You know, I should be doing better.
00:35:54.000 The news said the economy was good.
00:35:55.000 And I'm like, but the economy's not good.
00:35:57.000 Like, that's why you have three jobs right now.
00:35:59.000 That's what's going on.
00:36:00.000 Trump accused the Biden-Harris administration of being caught fraudulently manipulating job statistics to hide the true extent of the economic ruin they have inflicted upon America.
00:36:09.000 This is crazy.
00:36:10.000 Take a look at, we have this, CNN.
00:36:14.000 I haven't seen this clip.
00:36:15.000 I saw this posted by Tom Elliott.
00:36:17.000 So we'll watch this.
00:36:18.000 Breaking news in the CNN right now.
00:36:21.000 The job growth has been far weaker in the U.S.
00:36:24.000 and originally reported that is according to new data just coming in this morning.
00:36:27.000 Let's get right to it.
00:36:28.000 That's Matt Egan.
00:36:29.000 What's the headline, Matt?
00:36:30.000 Jim, 818,000 fewer jobs were added during the period between April 2023 and March of this year.
00:36:40.000 We were bracing for these revisions to come out and show that job growth was weaker, and that is what we got.
00:36:47.000 This is probably on the high end of the expectations.
00:36:50.000 Some of the forecasters have been saying probably around a few hundred thousand jobs.
00:36:56.000 Goldman Sachs had said maybe Let me show you this clip.
00:36:58.000 This is Biden-Harris Commerce Secretary.
00:37:01.000 This one's got everybody freaking out.
00:37:03.000 When you hear that, do you potentially think that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign?
00:37:08.000 No.
00:37:08.000 When I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful.
00:37:14.000 It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor.
00:37:16.000 I'm not familiar with that.
00:37:18.000 When you hear that...
00:37:19.000 So a lot of people are saying she's not familiar with the Bureau of Labor.
00:37:22.000 No, no, no.
00:37:23.000 She's talking about the report.
00:37:25.000 This is the schizophrenic derangement.
00:37:29.000 And this is the biggest this woman represents, exemplifies so well the danger this country faces.
00:37:35.000 I was hanging out several months ago, playing a game of poker, and some guy lost his mind at the poker table when someone asked me who I was voting for.
00:37:44.000 And I was like, Trump, of course.
00:37:45.000 And the guy said, Trump has never said anything truthful in his life.
00:37:51.000 And then some other random guy who does not seem very political went, are you kidding me?
00:37:55.000 Come on.
00:37:56.000 The guy talked about sports before.
00:37:57.000 That's stupid.
00:37:59.000 The idea that you would genuinely say something like genuinely believe Trump has never told the truth before is derangement.
00:38:06.000 It proves this woman's got a fractured psyche where her brain, her prefrontal cortex has ceased to function.
00:38:14.000 Donald Trump has talked about reality TV before.
00:38:17.000 Even if you think he's lying about politics, it's impossible to say the guy's never told the truth about anything ever.
00:38:24.000 They are insane.
00:38:26.000 And they're ignoring the fact that apparently they were cooking the books.
00:38:29.000 She's also using a very sophisticated deflection technique, right?
00:38:33.000 We know the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the one that put this number out.
00:38:36.000 It has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
00:38:38.000 He's just repeating what the government actually put out.
00:38:41.000 But she manages in the very first part of the sentence to, one, say she doesn't think it's true.
00:38:47.000 Well, the government just said it.
00:38:49.000 And, you know, not only she's in charge of that Bureau through her department, but then two, it's like the fact that Donald Trump said anything or whatever has nothing, is completely immaterial.
00:39:01.000 The majority of the people, not the majority, but a large swath of people will come away from that thinking, oh I heard enough, it's not true.
00:39:09.000 It's just pure deflection.
00:39:11.000 The fascinating thing is that you don't need a jobs report to know the economy is not going well.
00:39:17.000 I went to the grocery store and a can of whipped cream was $6.
00:39:22.000 And, you know, in here, true, you know, like, it's like, don't believe your lying eyes.
00:39:28.000 We all, I don't know if half of these people ever go to the grocery store, but like, $100, you know, my estimation used to fill up the back of a station wagon.
00:39:36.000 Now it's two bags worth.
00:39:38.000 Yeah, it's ridiculous.
00:39:39.000 You go out there and you're like, how?
00:39:41.000 I can't go to the grocery store for under 60 bucks.
00:39:43.000 It's like, what's going on?
00:39:45.000 But, you know, there, they're saying that the numbers are from, I think, April 23 to Or August 23 to March?
00:39:54.000 It was April to March.
00:39:54.000 April.
00:39:56.000 Like, we're not even talking about the up to present.
00:39:59.000 So, you know, I think it's a little dog bites man kind of thing when you say that the numbers coming out of the Biden administration are cooked.
00:40:08.000 I always assume they are, and they're always going to revise them after the fact.
00:40:13.000 But in this particular case, the fact that they had the courage to do it during the pendency of the DNC is interesting.
00:40:20.000 Well, yeah, because they wanted to just hide it.
00:40:22.000 Because everybody is paying attention, they're like singing and dancing and they're having joy and they're having vibes.
00:40:28.000 I mean, the Biden administration even has what they're calling a vibrarian.
00:40:32.000 Did you guys see this?
00:40:34.000 A vibrarian.
00:40:37.000 Who, their job, it's like a Gen Z person in the White House and her entire job is checking social media to see Axios had it.
00:40:45.000 We covered it as well.
00:40:46.000 But her whole job is to check the socials and see what people are feeling and then let the administration know so that they can counter the feels.
00:40:54.000 You know, I like that word because it sounds a lot like vivarium.
00:40:58.000 And I would argue the Democrats have a functional political vivarium as well.
00:41:02.000 And that's basically how they keep their voter base.
00:41:06.000 Living in this broken, fake world.
00:41:08.000 What's vivarium?
00:41:09.000 It's like a fish tank.
00:41:12.000 It's like a little tank where you put the animals in it and they live in their fake little world where they don't know.
00:41:19.000 I thought you said vibrarium and it was like... Vibranium?
00:41:22.000 Yeah, vibranium.
00:41:23.000 No, but they're saying like the vibes librarian.
00:41:25.000 That's funky.
00:41:26.000 Vibrarian?
00:41:27.000 I mean, don't call them that at least.
00:41:29.000 Just call them like an analyst or something.
00:41:30.000 Right, yeah, it's Molly Opinski.
00:41:32.000 We should just be like Democrats are disqualified from... That wouldn't be true democracy.
00:41:39.000 I don't care.
00:41:41.000 We don't have a true democracy right now where you can just install a person from the top down and then declare that that person has grassroots support.
00:41:49.000 It's such lies and it's such obvious lies.
00:41:53.000 And I can tell that it's getting dicey over there because my mom stopped talking to me
00:41:57.000 about politics.
00:41:58.000 She's like super lefty and she always wants to argue with me about politics.
00:42:02.000 And I recently spent a very tense week hanging out with her where she couldn't figure out
00:42:06.000 what to talk to me about, but she definitely would not bring up politics.
00:42:09.000 And I wasn't going to bring it up because she hates my job.
00:42:12.000 She hates my job.
00:42:13.000 Yeah, but like you'd win every argument.
00:42:14.000 She started telling everybody that she could find that she wished I went into accounting.
00:42:19.000 And I was like, mom, that was never on the table.
00:42:20.000 I went to art school.
00:42:22.000 I was never going into accounting.
00:42:23.000 Where did you get this crazy idea?
00:42:24.000 Don't you just win every debate?
00:42:27.000 No, because I don't want to debate with my mom.
00:42:28.000 She gets grouchy, and she cries, and then she's very stressed out, and it ruins dinner.
00:42:33.000 I don't need a ruined dinner.
00:42:36.000 I completely disagree.
00:42:40.000 I think the reason that people persist in these delusions is because people don't want to ruin dinner.
00:42:45.000 She doesn't debate.
00:42:46.000 She walks away and she gets angry and then she like talks to me about how I'm a terrible person and blames me for things and it's just like...
00:42:54.000 And then ask her next time that happens.
00:42:56.000 Do you guys not have weird moms who like don't make any sense and it's just weird to try and like...
00:42:59.000 My mom's a beast.
00:43:00.000 No, your mom's great.
00:43:01.000 She's a math teacher.
00:43:03.000 And she's terrific.
00:43:04.000 You win.
00:43:05.000 My mom is great in her own totally different way that doesn't drive her.
00:43:10.000 I gotta figure out the tone when I talk to my mom.
00:43:12.000 Because if my tone gets out of control or out of whack, she'll shut down.
00:43:16.000 But if I can stay calm... Right, the shutdown!
00:43:18.000 Yes, my mom does the shutdown.
00:43:19.000 I haven't chatted with my parents yet since Kamala became the nominee, whatever, and I've been fantasizing about being like, so what do you guys think about protecting our democracy by installing a candidate without being voted for?
00:43:32.000 And like, what they're gonna say, like they haven't talked to me about it, they haven't brought it up at all.
00:43:36.000 Rarely do they.
00:43:37.000 It's broken brains, man.
00:43:38.000 I think they're ruined right now.
00:43:39.000 There's nothing there anymore.
00:43:42.000 You know what's really crazy is... This will probably shock a lot of people.
00:43:47.000 Ask—if you haven't talked to a loved one, a friend, a family member in a long time, ask them if Donald Trump called Nazis very fine people.
00:43:54.000 They believe it.
00:43:55.000 They still do.
00:43:56.000 Joe Biden just said it again at the DNC.
00:43:59.000 They still think it's true.
00:44:02.000 And it's remarkable to me that anyone still thinks that's true.
00:44:05.000 Even Snopes debunked it seven years later.
00:44:07.000 It's because it's part of their catechism.
00:44:09.000 It is.
00:44:09.000 It's not reality.
00:44:10.000 It's part of their actual religion.
00:44:11.000 That's a good way to put it.
00:44:13.000 It's scripture to them.
00:44:14.000 Yep.
00:44:16.000 So we all have, um, besides Tim, um, I know about yourself there, Paul, but all the elders that are on the left spectrum that we have to fight with and kind of convince the reality is real and they don't want to go with the reality.
00:44:16.000 Yeah.
00:44:16.000 Yeah.
00:44:27.000 Yeah.
00:44:28.000 Yeah.
00:44:28.000 I don't fight with them anymore.
00:44:29.000 They're willing to though.
00:44:30.000 If it's blatant, they'll accept it.
00:44:32.000 Fortunately, like I watched this video of Zelensky saying, the Americans are not funding the war in Ukraine.
00:44:38.000 And I watched it with my dad.
00:44:39.000 And then I was like, he said, we're not funny.
00:44:41.000 He said, no, he said, we're not fighting the war in Ukraine.
00:44:42.000 I was like, no, no, he said funding.
00:44:44.000 Let's rewind it and watch.
00:44:45.000 So he did begrudgingly.
00:44:46.000 But then when we watched, he was like, you're right.
00:44:48.000 I'll eat that one.
00:44:49.000 You were right.
00:44:51.000 Funding.
00:44:51.000 We're not funding.
00:44:52.000 Zelensky blatantly lied and said that right after we sent them $61 billion, he went on MSNBC and said, no, the Americans are not funding the war in Ukraine.
00:44:59.000 And I was like, yeah, we just sent $61 billion.
00:45:01.000 What you got to do is you got to put parental controls when you go visit them so they can't watch MSNBC or CNN anymore.
00:45:06.000 When they're not in the room, just switch the code.
00:45:10.000 I'm a little older than you guys, but both of my parents passed, right?
00:45:16.000 My mom was a treasure, right?
00:45:19.000 She was a public school teacher.
00:45:22.000 Genius, right?
00:45:23.000 My parents met, they were government scientists, right?
00:45:23.000 She was a chemist.
00:45:27.000 first in their families to go to college. But, you know, politics, maybe now you guys
00:45:33.000 talk politics with your parents. It wasn't a thing really when I was growing up and we
00:45:38.000 weren't at this level of division in the country. You certainly would not have kind of fights
00:45:44.000 over Thanksgiving about politics. There was a little bit of weirdness, but this really
00:45:48.000 came into being, I think, maybe 10, 15 years ago and certainly really coalesced under the
00:45:54.000 new. It's before this and it's generational.
00:45:59.000 People need to understand that our culture is basically an organism unto itself that ages.
00:46:09.000 It is not that one day political polarization existed.
00:46:14.000 20-30 years ago, political polarization was injected into Millennials, and two different worldviews were being taught to children.
00:46:22.000 So now, as those children age, the division ages along with it.
00:46:27.000 When Millennials enter the workforce, the existing political division enters the workforce with the Millennials.
00:46:32.000 I saw, it was 2006 is when I noticed, it was the shattering of the narrative that we were the good guys and the war in Iraq was just.
00:46:42.000 When social media appeared, and internet news, when independent journalism came out, and they were like, actually, there were no weapons of mass destruction.
00:46:49.000 Because before that, in the 90s, we all believed what we were told on NBC.
00:46:53.000 Like, we would sit around, the news would be on, but no one questioned it.
00:46:55.000 And then we went to war in Iraq, and it was like, okay, hit the brakes, what in the hell is going on?
00:47:00.000 And then the people that learned about the liberal international order, It's cultural, it's internet based.
00:47:14.000 When we looked at the polls discussing whether or not someone thought a civil war was likely in this country, the silent generation overwhelmingly says no.
00:47:21.000 It's like 10 or 12 percent says there will be.
00:47:24.000 When you go to boomers, it jumps up to, like, 20-something percent.
00:47:27.000 When you go to Gen X, it jumps up to, like, 30-some-odd percent.
00:47:30.000 When you go to millennials, it jumps up to, like, 40-some-odd percent, and then Gen Z, it's over 50.
00:47:34.000 The polarization is generational.
00:47:36.000 That's why, you know, you're saying, Paul, like, you didn't have this, it wasn't there, and we're saying it happens with our own families.
00:47:42.000 Yeah, I went to MIT undergrad and grad, and so this was before Al Gore invented the internet, right?
00:47:50.000 They actually had it at MIT, believe it or not.
00:47:53.000 And that's what we were beginning to use.
00:47:54.000 We'd go to our locker and download things and go to the mainframe computers and actually work on the Internet.
00:48:01.000 I went into law school and then right when the late 90s when I was going to practice in New York, to use the Internet, you have to go to the IT department and actually, you know, like phone in basically.
00:48:14.000 That was the very beginning of it.
00:48:16.000 But I went to work at a big New York firm that represented a lot of the traditional media companies.
00:48:23.000 And I think the real break point where that narrative, the control, the Walter Cronkite control got broken, if memory serves, is with Monica and the dress and Drudge and getting out and basically...
00:48:38.000 Saying, you know, this led to the Bill Clinton impeachment.
00:48:42.000 But they, you know, other mainstream media had that story and they colluded and they decided they weren't going to run it.
00:48:49.000 But then Matt Drudge ran it and it changed the world.
00:48:52.000 Here's the question for your parents.
00:48:55.000 If you did not eat breakfast yesterday, how would you have felt?
00:48:59.000 Wouldn't they just say hungry?
00:49:01.000 The point of the question is that people of low IQ can't comprehend conditional hypotheticals.
00:49:06.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:49:08.000 So when you say, if you did not have breakfast yesterday, how would you have felt?
00:49:08.000 Yeah.
00:49:12.000 It's a meme.
00:49:13.000 They go, but I did have breakfast.
00:49:16.000 And you go, no, no, no.
00:49:16.000 But if you didn't, how would you have felt?
00:49:17.000 What do you mean?
00:49:18.000 I had breakfast.
00:49:19.000 And you're like, let me open the box so you can think outside of it a little easier.
00:49:23.000 Here's the challenge.
00:49:24.000 And I think this question should actually be asked of many Democrats.
00:49:27.000 If you cannot understand hypotheticals, you cannot build a machine.
00:49:31.000 If we are to ask ourselves, how do we form a government?
00:49:34.000 How do we make sure the government works and that there's justice and accountability and it keeps working?
00:49:37.000 Okay, well, you need to ask yourself hypothetical questions.
00:49:40.000 What happens if, in our government, an election is rigged?
00:49:43.000 Like, let's just say, hypothetically, someone rigs an election.
00:49:46.000 What would the mechanism be by which we resolve that problem?
00:49:50.000 I know!
00:49:51.000 Simple idea.
00:49:52.000 You file a lawsuit, okay?
00:49:54.000 So if your state believes that your election was rigged or improperly handled, you file a lawsuit to challenge the results so that a court can actually go through the documents and the arguments to determine whether or not the election was held properly.
00:50:08.000 We've got a problem, then.
00:50:09.000 The problem is, the federal government has expectations and deadlines.
00:50:13.000 The federal government is a separate entity from the state government.
00:50:15.000 So if you're in the state of, say, Illinois, and you believe the election was not properly handled, well, the federal government still requires the paperwork be submitted and filed because your dispute has nothing to do with them.
00:50:24.000 Okay?
00:50:25.000 If you and your brother are arguing over who should pay for the concert tickets, Ticketmaster does not care at all.
00:50:32.000 They're like, look, give me the money for the tickets, you guys sort it out after the fact.
00:50:36.000 Okay, so what you'd need to do is, you would need to have your electors file the paperwork, submit them to the federal government, conditionally stating, we're waiting for adjudication on these results, should they change, should the judge ruling come in, we'll let you know, but we're making sure we're getting our paperwork in before the deadline for the federal government, a separate jurisdiction.
00:50:57.000 Then the court rules, maybe a month later, and says, you know what?
00:51:01.000 Actually, this election was improperly handled and we're going to certify the other slate which have been submitted to the federal government.
00:51:07.000 Then they send word and legal documents from the governor saying, yep, we took care of it.
00:51:13.000 And you know where this process came from?
00:51:15.000 Hawaii in 1960, because it literally happened.
00:51:17.000 Kennedy and Nixon.
00:51:18.000 And so what happened in 2020 with Donald Trump and all these states?
00:51:22.000 Literally the same thing, just more states.
00:51:24.000 And except now they're locking up the electors.
00:51:27.000 That's right, because they're psychotic, fascistic despots.
00:51:30.000 And they're locking up these grandmas who were just available in case there was a recount and the election went the other way.
00:51:37.000 But if you can't understand a hypothetical situation, and you say to someone, we did not properly adjudicate these claims, so we don't know, the response from someone who can't mentally understand is just, But it was certified.
00:51:53.000 Yes, I understand.
00:51:54.000 But we did not review evidence.
00:51:56.000 We have to look at the arguments.
00:51:57.000 The arguments are not, in most cases, that someone made a fake ballot and mailed it in.
00:52:02.000 The arguments were that the governors and the judges did not have the authority under the Constitution to alter the rules of the election.
00:52:07.000 Only the state legislature did.
00:52:09.000 Therefore, any changes that were made make the election improper and are up for challenge.
00:52:15.000 But we never actually got proper adjudication.
00:52:16.000 Yeah, it's very irritating to see this whole The narrative that spread from 2020 forward belies 200 years of history, the actual United States statutes and the Constitution, this Electoral Count Act.
00:52:31.000 This was how it was always done, and anybody who cracked open an actual history book We'll jump to this story here.
00:52:37.000 and took American history would understand there were disputed elections.
00:52:40.000 This very process was put in place to weigh various slates of electors and
00:52:45.000 and there were some traditional fights involved in it. So this was just the next
00:52:50.000 iteration of American history.
00:52:52.000 I want to jump to this story here. We had this tweet from Rolling Stone.
00:52:55.000 They say that's the genius work of this one small bit of the Harris-Waltz merch.
00:53:01.000 The camouflage hat reclaims the rural and southern identity that mainstream Democrats have long ignored.
00:53:08.000 Dems are finally embracing country music fans.
00:53:11.000 That's all they needed this whole time.
00:53:13.000 What hat?
00:53:14.000 Was the camouflage hat.
00:53:16.000 And, you know, just the other day, We're out here in Appalachia.
00:53:20.000 I saw an old man wearing a camouflage Harris-Waltz hat.
00:53:24.000 And I said, sir, sir, you're supporting Harris-Waltz.
00:53:27.000 He goes, well, I just gotta tell you, once I saw that hat, I knew it was for me.
00:53:30.000 I don't see Trump wearing a camo hat.
00:53:32.000 And I'm like, that's it.
00:53:33.000 They've won.
00:53:34.000 They've won the South over.
00:53:36.000 Just kidding.
00:53:37.000 That's insane.
00:53:38.000 These people are morons.
00:53:40.000 Is it jungle camo?
00:53:42.000 It was all black.
00:53:42.000 I don't know.
00:53:43.000 Yeah, jungle.
00:53:44.000 Space camo.
00:53:45.000 Old school camo.
00:53:46.000 Space camo is the same thing because it's not like just all black.
00:53:49.000 You need invisible for space camo.
00:53:51.000 So you get a, where's, is her name Emma Ermhoff?
00:53:55.000 Is that her name?
00:53:56.000 Ella Ermhoff.
00:53:56.000 Ella.
00:53:57.000 I'll let him off.
00:53:58.000 Where is she from?
00:53:59.000 New York?
00:54:00.000 She lives in Brooklyn, yeah.
00:54:01.000 And they put a camo hat on her, and that's it.
00:54:01.000 Brooklyn, yeah.
00:54:03.000 You've convinced Southern conservatives to vote Democrat.
00:54:06.000 She looks like she's headed to Williamsburg for a nice Coke binge and a bunch of Electro Clash or something.
00:54:13.000 But even with the camo hat, she still looks like she's headed to Williamsburg.
00:54:18.000 I'm saying with the camo hat, she looks like she's headed for Williamsburg.
00:54:18.000 With the camo hat.
00:54:22.000 If she takes the camo hat off, she could pass in Park Slope.
00:54:27.000 Democrats don't understand that they're just doing what hipsters do.
00:54:31.000 Yes.
00:54:31.000 They're not actually endearing themselves.
00:54:33.000 They're appropriating bits of Americana.
00:54:36.000 Cultural modification.
00:54:36.000 Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
00:54:38.000 They're appropriating bits of Americana and saying that that makes them American.
00:54:42.000 I mean, you see how excited they get when they're like, look, I'm American too.
00:54:46.000 Look, I have the accessories.
00:54:47.000 I have the bangles.
00:54:49.000 They're chanting USA at the convention, waving American flags, and outside they're burning American flags.
00:54:55.000 They're burning them, yeah.
00:54:56.000 Yeah, we have a reporter out there.
00:54:58.000 I think you guys had a reporter out there, too.
00:55:00.000 I think Ilad's there.
00:55:01.000 Yeah, and it's madness what's going on outside.
00:55:04.000 And if you were at the RNC, there weren't mad protests in the street.
00:55:08.000 There was a protest march.
00:55:11.000 There was like a little bit, but there was nothing like this.
00:55:14.000 Nothing like, you know, screaming that Joe Biden is going to have plenty of time on his hands, screaming about Kamala Harris, screaming about foreign wars.
00:55:22.000 I mean, it's absolutely ludicrous too, the thing that they're most upset about.
00:55:26.000 Because you have a lot of conservatives who are upset about Israel, and they basically are like, We don't want to fund foreign wars.
00:55:32.000 We don't think America has any place in this war.
00:55:35.000 Okay, that makes some sense.
00:55:37.000 You have Democrats out there screaming about this war, saying, we want to fund the terrorists more.
00:55:41.000 It's like, what's going on?
00:55:44.000 That's just insane.
00:55:45.000 It says a lot about them.
00:55:47.000 They're very shallow, very materialistic.
00:55:49.000 They'll wear a pussy hat, pardon the language, but they wear hats like that.
00:55:53.000 And they wear this and this virtual signaling.
00:55:56.000 They think that's going to get them across because for them, a little tiny bit like that means a lot.
00:56:00.000 And they're also like screaming about, you know, abortion rights is rights for Gaza.
00:56:05.000 And it's like, abortion is very illegal in Gaza.
00:56:08.000 I'm sorry, but this is a Simpsons joke.
00:56:10.000 This is literally a Simpsons joke.
00:56:12.000 When Kang and Kodos took over Bob Dolan... Twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
00:56:18.000 Bob Dolan, Bill Clinton got taken over by aliens.
00:56:21.000 Their bodies were taken over by aliens.
00:56:23.000 And I can't remember, I think it was like alien Bill Clinton or whatever was like, no abortions for any, or no, like abortions for all.
00:56:29.000 And they go, boo.
00:56:30.000 And he goes, abortions for everyone, boo.
00:56:33.000 And then he goes, abortions for some, tiny American flags for everyone else.
00:56:38.000 And they go, yay.
00:56:39.000 And they cheer.
00:56:40.000 This is what Democrats think.
00:56:41.000 They're like, just put it, put a camo hat on.
00:56:44.000 And now the Southern pro-lifers are going to vote for you.
00:56:48.000 It normally goes, in my mind, a camo hat, hand in glove with two-way rights.
00:56:55.000 So I think it's very weird to try to take one from the rest.
00:56:58.000 And certainly if you're looking at the Democrats, this is the gun grab, mandatory.
00:57:04.000 I mean, Kamala's been very clear, Kamala rather, been very clear about mandatory gun buybacks.
00:57:13.000 I mean, this is no different than Blackface, if you ask me.
00:57:18.000 Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
00:57:19.000 I am offended.
00:57:19.000 As of West Virginia, living here now, it's very hated.
00:57:21.000 That's right.
00:57:22.000 Everyone agrees that, you know, this is... Actually, I'm kidding.
00:57:28.000 But what's funny is they're going to Chicago and getting urban liberals like Brooklynite Ella to wear this camo hat to, like, make it seem like they're Southern conservative or something.
00:57:42.000 Are they going to buy back the guns in Chicago?
00:57:44.000 Instead of actually getting, I don't know, some Southern conservatives.
00:57:47.000 Also, the other thing with gun buybacks is you buy back somebody's gun.
00:57:51.000 This was happening, I think, in New York, if I recall.
00:57:55.000 Gang members were turning in their guns, getting money, and then going to buy better guns.
00:58:00.000 Well, there was one funny story where they did a gun buyback, so a guy 3D printed a bunch of guns and then sold them to the government.
00:58:06.000 He made a lot of money.
00:58:07.000 He made a couple grand.
00:58:08.000 Yeah, is that what it was?
00:58:09.000 He was 3D printing them, and they were like, alright, a gun's a gun.
00:58:12.000 He's like, man, I can make these things for like $3.
00:58:15.000 And there you go.
00:58:15.000 I don't know if the Democrats have any actual strategy.
00:58:19.000 I mean, we know they have no campaign positions, and now Rolling Stone is just being like, well, they're wearing camouflage hats.
00:58:27.000 Are they planning to lose?
00:58:31.000 Is this it?
00:58:32.000 Is Trump really just going to win?
00:58:36.000 I don't know.
00:58:36.000 I mean, it depends on if all the vibe people vibe their way right over to the ballot box and actually vote.
00:58:42.000 I mean, that's really going to be the most telling moment.
00:58:44.000 How compelled are these people going to feel?
00:58:46.000 You know, I do have that emotional reaction in me just wanting the economy to collapse so I can rub their faces in it.
00:58:53.000 But, you know, unlike Bill Maher, I won't call for a recession to win an election.
00:58:58.000 Well, I think it is, to be fair.
00:59:00.000 I don't want to cut.
00:59:01.000 I mean, nobody wants to believe more than Trump's going to win than I do.
00:59:04.000 But, you know, the reality is that the last seven weeks have been a marked change, really.
00:59:09.000 You know, we came out from obviously almost five weeks ago, the president being shot to, you know, the trend lines
00:59:18.000 crossing right now. And certainly, you know, she leads in the
00:59:23.000 popular vote tallies on Real Clear Politics. So, you know, you have
00:59:29.000 to step back and say, how did we get here in the first place?
00:59:33.000 Like, why is Kamala even the candidate? And there have been some serious miscues with the Trump campaign. So, like, in
00:59:40.000 fact, it seems to be improving, though. It's improved in the
00:59:43.000 last week, I think. But you know, we have to be real that there was no plan in place here to meet up with her. And
00:59:50.000 there has been a lot of ground loss.
00:59:52.000 What do you think are the miscues? Some of the miscues?
00:59:54.000 I think the fundamental one is kind of overplaying Biden and pushing him off the stage.
01:00:02.000 Yeah, it's like Trump beat Biden too fast.
01:00:05.000 They took the Democrat bait, the campaign did.
01:00:08.000 And, you know, like anytime, anywhere, you know, throw down a debate.
01:00:12.000 It's like, no, actually, you debate after he's locked in as the candidate.
01:00:18.000 And the campaign was arrogant.
01:00:20.000 You know, you look at this.
01:00:21.000 You know, there's an article in the Atlantic, right?
01:00:23.000 The campaign apparently did six months letting the Atlantic behind backstage.
01:00:31.000 Now the Atlantic is owned by Steve Jobs's widow, right?
01:00:35.000 She gives like a hundred million dollars to the Democrats.
01:00:38.000 So it's very odd when you're working with the left to You know, write stories about you and kind of give them, let your hair down with the Atlantic.
01:00:48.000 But if you go back and read that article, Tim Alberta on July 10th, the campaign's basically saying, no, no, no, we're very confident Joe is going to be sticking in this.
01:01:00.000 In fact, there's $250 million that's impossible for them to shift.
01:01:05.000 Well, Democrats figure out how to shift that in an afternoon.
01:01:08.000 So that was just a gross miscalculation.
01:01:12.000 Yeah, I've been thinking about that too, like it was really a mistake to go through with that debate.
01:01:16.000 Well, you know, people advised to do it and, and, you know, people didn't put brakes on it.
01:01:21.000 And, and if you don't have a plan in place, then it's a major mistake.
01:01:25.000 But then you kind of move on to like, how did we dissipate all this goodwill about the, you know, essentially the concern about the assassination?
01:01:34.000 How did that get moved off the front page?
01:01:36.000 Well, that got moved off the front page because as soon as Trump got almost assassinated, they kicked Biden off the ticket and inserted Kamala.
01:01:45.000 So the Democrats just grabbed the news cycle.
01:01:47.000 As soon as that happened, they grabbed the news cycle, almost as though they had been planning to grab it all along in that moment.
01:01:54.000 Yeah, one mistake triggers the next basically.
01:01:57.000 But I mean Trump also and his campaign like they launched their campaign so early that it felt like the right time to have a debate in June.
01:02:07.000 All of the other candidates were Off the table, you know, everybody had been cleared out.
01:02:12.000 The Democrats refused to allow anybody to challenge Biden, even though there were good reasons to, you know, they locked out basically Dean Phillips and RFK Jr.
01:02:21.000 So it's like the whole thing got so accelerated that it was easy, I think, to forget about the actual electoral timeline, which, you know, you could say was Yeah, sometimes I think you just have to be silent and stand back and let your opponent collapse.
01:02:37.000 And that's what Joe Biden was doing.
01:02:39.000 If you remember, there was a period there, well, it happened post-debate, but like, there was kind of a countdown to see whether he would even be the candidate.
01:02:47.000 And, you know, instead of just letting that happen, they stepped in with other news.
01:02:51.000 I mean, one, they took a shot at Project 2025.
01:02:55.000 That kind of gets the base going because that, you know, again, they're taking the kind of the trap that the left has set for them.
01:03:06.000 With Project 2025, 90% of that's misinformation from the left.
01:03:10.000 The stuff they say is in Project 2025 is not in Project 2025.
01:03:14.000 But to kind of denigrate that and knock it kind of shows, you know, a political misjudgment.
01:03:22.000 Well, they certainly count on people not reviewing it and not looking at it for themselves.
01:03:26.000 And also the way that the left presents their information, like, you know, they're involved with the Center for American Progress, and we were talking about it before the show, the Center for American Progress didn't publish 900 pages of policy.
01:03:37.000 They have a website that's really hard to navigate in terms of like, if you're trying to, it's easy to navigate, but if you're trying to find actual information, it's very difficult to find it.
01:03:46.000 Yeah, we call that Project Special, okay?
01:03:48.000 Yeah, very effective.
01:03:49.000 They're going to ban Xin.
01:03:50.000 I love that serial.
01:03:51.000 Yeah, I mean, Tim Walton, Minnesota's got a 95% tax on Zin.
01:03:56.000 Oh, yeah.
01:03:57.000 Yep.
01:03:57.000 Is that right?
01:03:59.000 It's on all nicotine products.
01:04:01.000 So Zin is taxed at 95%.
01:04:02.000 Well, there's tobacco.
01:04:04.000 Cigarettes are really expensive in so many parts of the country, like Chicago.
01:04:07.000 You know, I was reading an article about that.
01:04:10.000 And in New York, of course, they're very expensive.
01:04:12.000 San Francisco.
01:04:13.000 Yeah.
01:04:14.000 I mean, to get back to what you're saying about the Center for American Progress, why is Project 2025 different?
01:04:20.000 Why are we operating in the light and they're operating in the darkness?
01:04:24.000 I mean, you have to kind of step back and say, how do we even get to a place where men are using women's bathrooms and playing sports?
01:04:31.000 I can tell you exactly how we got there because I watched it happen.
01:04:33.000 Over 50 years, but it was basically allowing a permanent government class to operate in Washington and not bring the rest of the country into this government.
01:04:44.000 So shows like this tell people what's actually going on, but We're not going to change it until people listening to this show come and work in Washington.
01:04:54.000 So that was really the whole promise of Project 2025, is to recruit an entire cadre of people to come and make change in Washington who aren't part of this permanent government class.
01:05:04.000 And you can't do a big recruiting effort without talking about it.
01:05:08.000 Now, the ideas, you know, why?
01:05:11.000 To be fair, Heritage Foundation's put out a book for the last 50 years almost.
01:05:16.000 This is not anything new.
01:05:18.000 What is new, to Ian's point, is that it's actually organized at this point.
01:05:22.000 This is 110 groups coming together and Simpatico rowing in the same direction, thousands of volunteers, and it's threatening.
01:05:31.000 What's in that book, what these folks have been learning about, is really the deconstruction of the administrative state.
01:05:38.000 This is the antidote to really the deep state.
01:05:43.000 And really that is the threat of the whole thing.
01:05:48.000 So, you know, in the point is that a lot of these ideas should be embraced, not everything in there.
01:05:55.000 This is a kind of a wish list, but it was a coming together of conservatives way in advance of the presidential
01:06:02.000 election in 2022 for that matter.
01:06:04.000 And certainly it allowed various candidates to figure out if they wanted to go to a conservative route, this is where
01:06:12.000 you should be.
01:06:13.000 And that was that was the promise of the book.
01:06:16.000 But the book also serves as the whole project does to teach people about the government.
01:06:21.000 Our side never systematically focused on how we can take control of the administrative state.
01:06:28.000 And unless people learn and commit to coming to serve, nothing's going to change.
01:06:32.000 Let's jump to this post from Cliff Maloney.
01:06:35.000 Panic mode for Kamala.
01:06:36.000 Democrat mail-in requests on this date in 2020 versus 2024.
01:06:40.000 It's down 28.5% in Philadelphia.
01:06:44.000 In Allegheny, which is Pittsburgh, it's down 17.14%.
01:06:48.000 A major blow to Democrats' strategy of running up the score.
01:06:52.000 If we take a look at the betting odds, it is now even, dead even.
01:06:57.000 When you aggregate them all together, it is Trump 49.3 to Harris 49.3.
01:07:02.000 Polly Market actually has Donald Trump up above Harris, and Newsweek has it.
01:07:07.000 Donald Trump's odds of winning election rise after DNC start.
01:07:11.000 The more Democrats talk about what they want to do, why they're angry, the more they lose people.
01:07:17.000 This is why Kamala's not giving interviews.
01:07:19.000 It's why they want to run the basement campaign.
01:07:22.000 They do better when they shut up and hide, but they can't.
01:07:27.000 It would be too strange and eventually it would stop working.
01:07:30.000 I doubt Kamala's going to do any real interviews.
01:07:32.000 She's going to do the one debate.
01:07:34.000 We'll see how that goes.
01:07:35.000 I got a feeling Trump is going to obliterate her.
01:07:38.000 Yeah, well, she doesn't have much to say and she doesn't know how to use words in a way that actually delivers information.
01:07:44.000 She's going to say, look, I'm going to get in there and fix the economy.
01:07:47.000 And Trump's going to go, you're in there now.
01:07:50.000 And she has no answer.
01:07:51.000 Right.
01:07:51.000 And she's also just going to keep repeating the same phrases.
01:07:54.000 She might even talk about, you know, unburdening herself from what might have been, which of course means Joe Biden and her entire record to date.
01:08:02.000 Not from what might have been.
01:08:03.000 Unburdening herself from what has been.
01:08:05.000 What has been.
01:08:06.000 What has been.
01:08:06.000 Yeah.
01:08:07.000 But yeah, I mean, when you look at when you look at what's going on with the DNC and with Kamala's allies, and you realize that the DNC put out a platform that was for Joe Biden, they haven't put out a platform that includes any of Kamala Harris's ideas.
01:08:22.000 That was very intentional.
01:08:23.000 They said so that that's intentional.
01:08:25.000 You have Democrat congressman coming out and saying that it's better that there's no platform that's specifically for Kamala because it allows her to stay vague.
01:08:34.000 CNN said the same thing.
01:08:36.000 You have allies and advisors telling her not to do interviews, not to do debates.
01:08:39.000 You have Pete Buttigieg saying, you know, don't give an interview on Fox.
01:08:43.000 Don't give a debate on Fox.
01:08:44.000 You know, he said that directly to the New York Times that he doesn't want her to do that.
01:08:47.000 So she's getting the advice that she should, you know, not speak to press.
01:08:52.000 The most press she's taken— It's good advice.
01:08:54.000 It's like a couple of questions when she's outside of her airplane or something like that.
01:08:58.000 And they've not gone well for her.
01:09:00.000 And they have not gone well for her.
01:09:01.000 That's correct.
01:09:02.000 Yeah.
01:09:03.000 Because she doesn't have any answers.
01:09:04.000 She doesn't have any policies.
01:09:05.000 She doesn't have any plans.
01:09:06.000 She just has a camo hat.
01:09:07.000 She likes Venn diagrams.
01:09:08.000 She's very good at Venn diagramming.
01:09:09.000 Right?
01:09:10.000 We should do a nice little...
01:09:12.000 Yeah, when she launched one first foray into talking about policy, she did the price controls thing.
01:09:20.000 And even the left... The left destroyed that concept.
01:09:24.000 And the housing plans, which are really disastrous.
01:09:28.000 What are those?
01:09:29.000 Oh yeah, the tax credit got a bunch of financial influencers political.
01:09:34.000 There's a few people that I watch periodically on various social media and they talk about finance, investment, property values, and they don't talk politics ever.
01:09:44.000 As soon as Kamala was like, we're gonna do a $25,000 grant for first-time homebuyers, they were just like, Yeah, it's a terrible idea.
01:09:50.000 It's going to instantly spike the price of homes.
01:09:52.000 It'll drive prices up.
01:09:55.000 It'll reduce supply.
01:09:57.000 Everything will go badly.
01:09:58.000 Yep.
01:10:00.000 There's no way a communist is going to make it to the president of the United States.
01:10:03.000 Not anytime soon.
01:10:04.000 I can't see that happening.
01:10:05.000 It's not about them being a communist.
01:10:06.000 It's about them saying whatever they have to say to win power.
01:10:09.000 And, you know, Kamala may not intentionally try to invoke communism, but she's going to be doing things like, vote for me and I'll give you money.
01:10:17.000 Well, I've said it before, and I'm super concerned with electronic voting machines flipping vote tallies behind the scenes.
01:10:24.000 I don't know how to combat that in real time.
01:10:26.000 It's like the definition of insanity, according to Einstein, was you do the same thing over and over and you expect a different result.
01:10:33.000 If you're just going to put your head down and think, more voting is going to solve it.
01:10:37.000 Virginia switched to all paper ballots.
01:10:39.000 Yeah, that was really smart.
01:10:39.000 Good.
01:10:40.000 That's a great start.
01:10:41.000 Everybody should do that.
01:10:42.000 Probably.
01:10:43.000 Every red state should executive action paper ballots.
01:10:49.000 Let them sue you over it and then you can run them through the courts like they did to the Trump supporters and just say, no standing, you can't sue me.
01:10:55.000 Like chain of custody, you got to be able to look at every vote, man.
01:10:59.000 But even then, like you hand it to somebody who takes it to somebody else who takes it to somebody else.
01:11:03.000 Like what's the chain of custody?
01:11:04.000 You trust the people.
01:11:05.000 That's not a good system because those people can betray you.
01:11:08.000 The other problem... That concerns me greatly.
01:11:09.000 The other issue is what if there's one person used who votes in multiple different counties?
01:11:17.000 They're not going to look like, you know, a county in northern Illinois is not going to check a county in southern Illinois.
01:11:23.000 Southern Illinois John Smith votes, same social security number, votes the same time in Northern.
01:11:27.000 They added, both numbers get added to the count, total count, and no one's going to grab the ballots from up there and bring them down there.
01:11:33.000 No one's going to run the names through the system to check to make sure they only voted one time.
01:11:36.000 When you guys built Project 2025, is it focused on like the administrative, not that it's colluding to flip votes behind the scenes, but if it were, is there some sort of maneuver to investigate?
01:11:50.000 You know, ours was really an examination of the executive branch, so the only department there is the Federal Election Commission.
01:11:58.000 There's a chapter about that, but in the main, our project didn't look into election integrity and security because, as you were saying earlier, that's essentially a state's issue.
01:12:10.000 Now, I don't mean to cut off the air of good feeling and the comfort level here, but, like, The reality is that this is the sort of work that needed to be blocked and tackled over the last three, four years, like learning from 2020 and preventing it.
01:12:25.000 And who does that?
01:12:26.000 That's the RNC, right?
01:12:30.000 That's the group that is fundamentally charged with ensuring Um, the election now, if you, if you were following the RNC, Ronna McDaniels got her fourth term and she was supported by, you know, people within the campaign to do that.
01:12:45.000 The, you know, as a lawyer, I've worked on election integrity, you know, for almost 30 years and, um, kind of in and out of it.
01:12:55.000 I saw what, what happened post 2020.
01:12:56.000 It was, it was a wreckage.
01:12:59.000 The work just hadn't been done.
01:12:59.000 Okay.
01:13:01.000 But one thing the RNC did was tell us they had this taken care of.
01:13:05.000 They were telling you in October 2020, we got this.
01:13:08.000 And, you know, now they're telling you they got this.
01:13:11.000 So, um, do they have this?
01:13:14.000 That's the big question.
01:13:16.000 And, you know, president Trump's like, Hey, I can get the voters.
01:13:20.000 You guys take care of this.
01:13:21.000 Hasn't been taken care of.
01:13:23.000 You know, a lot of people on the ground, a lot of the few things that have been done are being done at the grassroots level by volunteers.
01:13:30.000 And I don't think the resources have been moved out to really tackle this.
01:13:34.000 We have not, you know, filed 200 cases.
01:13:37.000 There is no counterpart to Mark Elias on our side.
01:13:42.000 And, you know, Mark Elias is the Democrat mastermind who came up with, he's a lawyer from Perkins Coie out on his own, but basically is their chief guy.
01:13:54.000 He, among other things, he was also involved in the Project 2025 misinformation campaign.
01:14:00.000 But this guy is, you know, a very formidable adversary, very smart, and he managed to really
01:14:09.000 break open and rig the 2020 election systematically.
01:14:12.000 So I think that we need to put all forces into ensuring here at this 11th hour that
01:14:20.000 we can have some election integrity.
01:14:22.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:14:23.000 It's by no means, you know, I wouldn't get too comfy about it right now.
01:14:28.000 No, I'm not comfortable at all that a foreign corporation is overseeing our elections and tallying votes behind the scenes with proprietary software.
01:14:36.000 Like, that's insane.
01:14:37.000 Insane.
01:14:38.000 The very suggestion that You know, the algorithms, the way they count votes could be proprietary, is to me one of the most offensive of all legal concepts.
01:14:49.000 But they've managed to do that in the various case laws, because we've never mounted an adequate challenge to that.
01:14:57.000 And this kind of goes back to what we were earlier talking about.
01:15:01.000 There's a huge imbalance in big law of conservatives and incapable attorneys.
01:15:08.000 Certainly, you know, there are a lot of good conservative attorneys, but they don't have the resources behind them.
01:15:13.000 So we as a movement really need to get those folks engaged.
01:15:17.000 If we were going to do that, which we are, would we then do it at the state level with attorneys general?
01:15:22.000 That's where some of the best work comes from, obviously.
01:15:25.000 You look at a superhero like Ken Paxton, right?
01:15:28.000 That guy, he did more for the movement than many across, but like those folks need to be empowered.
01:15:36.000 But look, A lot of the people who are the electors, the attorneys who brought these suits, they're getting disbarred.
01:15:45.000 They're facing financial ruin.
01:15:47.000 A lot of these people, some people are even in prison.
01:15:50.000 They have like four members of the RNC, I think, who are under indictment.
01:15:54.000 What are we doing to protect them?
01:15:56.000 Yeah, in Arizona, there's that's going on.
01:15:57.000 Like, this is the party has to come and support these people.
01:16:02.000 And like, because a lot of this is fear.
01:16:04.000 What they want you to do is every good lawyer stand down.
01:16:08.000 They don't want you to pipe up because they're going to strip you of your career if you go to fight.
01:16:14.000 And that's really what the next generation of election interference is, is to dissuade anyone from getting out there.
01:16:21.000 That's like what's going on in the UK right now with the free speech problems.
01:16:24.000 It's like, I saw a report from the National Review, I think, today.
01:16:28.000 That was talking about how there are judges who will sentence people to years, months in prison for Facebook comments, but they'll let off people who are convicted of having a bunch of horrible child exploitation images.
01:16:44.000 And these judges will say like, oh, you just you just need to go outside and meet people to the child exploiters.
01:16:51.000 And then to the person who makes a Facebook post, like there was this 53 year old woman, she's the sole caretaker for her disabled husband.
01:16:58.000 She said like, you know, she said something very unlike, you know, that you wouldn't like to say on Facebook.
01:17:06.000 But she's getting 15 months in prison for what she said on Facebook, which seems insane no matter what you say.
01:17:11.000 You know, she wasn't making direct threats.
01:17:14.000 She doesn't have any capability.
01:17:15.000 No, they're making an example out of her.
01:17:16.000 But it's not just her.
01:17:17.000 They're doing it to multiple people, locking them up for a speech.
01:17:21.000 There's similar stories where they actually announced they're going to be letting people out of the UK prisons.
01:17:26.000 Exactly.
01:17:27.000 They're going to be letting people out to lock up people who said things online.
01:17:30.000 Yeah, early they're putting into place this early release program, but it is true.
01:17:35.000 I think what you say about the it has been shocking to see like all of the lawyers who were indicted in the Georgia Rico case, you know, those people are having their lives ruined a bunch of people pled out so that they wouldn't have to like face ruin from it.
01:17:50.000 Well, in Arizona, I think a lot of the electors are getting indicted.
01:17:56.000 They got indicted there.
01:17:57.000 Wisconsin, I think, and some other places.
01:17:59.000 And it does seem like a real fear tactic so that it's like the codification of the whole, you know, kind of like, Me Too anti-racist era, where if you say something, you get canceled and lose your job.
01:18:14.000 Now it's in the legal system.
01:18:16.000 Yeah, no, we as a movement, we have to support and indemnify these people.
01:18:20.000 And, you know, also what they've done here in, you know, Fannie Willis, that prosecution fell apart because these good lawyers were defending themselves.
01:18:31.000 They're the ones who uncovered her illicit Yeah, one of the guys who she indicted was the one who uncovered her misdeeds.
01:18:38.000 Exactly.
01:18:39.000 So, you know, these folks are warriors in the movement.
01:18:44.000 And that's really part of what, you know, Project 2025 is.
01:18:47.000 We used to call ourselves a coalition of the canceled, but these are the true believers.
01:18:52.000 These are the people who've really laid it on the line.
01:18:57.000 What the left wants to do is extinguish that feeling for really giving.
01:19:04.000 And it's dangerous because we're outnumbered out there.
01:19:09.000 Going back to what Tim was talking about, what he showed up there, that less Democrats are doing mail-in ballots, voting, and whatnot.
01:19:16.000 But just remember, Pennsylvania came out on August 8th that they let everyone know, by the way, the Pennsylvania State Department let everyone know that it might take days to count the election.
01:19:27.000 Like, so you know, it might take us a minute.
01:19:29.000 It's a lie.
01:19:30.000 Yeah.
01:19:31.000 It's a lie.
01:19:32.000 Well, Ron DeSantis called them out on that, too.
01:19:34.000 Many other countries just do it.
01:19:36.000 What happens is, you've got a voting station, the votes come in, there's not that many, they count them and then report the vote count to the higher-ups.
01:19:45.000 You have a decentralized network of people counting ballots, that's why all these other countries do it in a day.
01:19:50.000 That night, they're like, we got the full numbers.
01:19:53.000 It's in.
01:19:53.000 You need to do that, well at least it seems like you need to do that, because if you let them give you numbers and segments, then you know how many you need to circumvent the outcome you don't want ahead of time.
01:20:03.000 If all the results are decentralized and come in at the same time, and you report once they're in, you can't control the outcome.
01:20:10.000 If you say, give us a few days to go through it, Now you know where votes are needed to be added.
01:20:15.000 It's the number one state too.
01:20:16.000 That's why PA, you know, I don't know, shadiness, I'm not saying they're doing anything wrong, but they're letting people know that it might take days so they might just come in with the old fortification.
01:20:26.000 I spent the last three election cycles in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania, right?
01:20:31.000 That's Pittsburgh.
01:20:34.000 And it was interesting for many reasons.
01:20:37.000 One, obviously, that's an old-school Democratic area, right?
01:20:41.000 Pennsylvania, they talk about it forming a T with essentially all the states red except for Philly and Pittsburgh and kind of this axis in between.
01:20:52.000 Yes, Harrisburg area.
01:20:53.000 Harrisburg and Cutting Down, the T being the blue.
01:20:58.000 What was interesting there is, you know, when we were in 16, you could feel this kind of groundswell.
01:21:05.000 These were traditional Democrats who were like, I want Trump, you know, they were feeling it, right?
01:21:11.000 And it was breaking out all over.
01:21:12.000 You could just, if you talk to the waitress, if you talk to the cop on the street, this is the feeling.
01:21:19.000 2020, middle, I went out there again, kind of knocking on doors, helping the organization.
01:21:25.000 Sixteen hours working in the legal war room for the Trump campaign.
01:21:30.000 But in 2020, totally different thing.
01:21:34.000 You know, people were cloistered because of COVID, not as big a thing.
01:21:42.000 You know, fast forward to 2022, we were staying at a hotel and there was a group of kind of Republican door knockers and organizers.
01:21:53.000 And there was one small segment of Democrats there at oddly the same hotel.
01:21:58.000 Well, we're planning election days, the big thing, right?
01:22:01.000 We're all moving out, make sure these people got out, running up to it.
01:22:06.000 By election day, the two people who were there were packed up and left.
01:22:10.000 Their work had been done.
01:22:12.000 Like, they had already sewed up the election by the morning of, and they had it all calculated.
01:22:19.000 So it was very clear that we were playing checkers out there, and they were playing chess.
01:22:25.000 To think that Pennsylvania, I see the numbers now, but that doesn't give me the hopium right now because they are very good at innovating at the next level.
01:22:35.000 You're saying that the people that were collecting votes?
01:22:39.000 They had basically done a vote collection scheme and we were doing the door knocking vote day of thing.
01:22:45.000 Like we were actually going around to, oh, this is a hard R, you know, we just need to make sure that they get out to vote and you'd go, Other people were ballot harvesting.
01:22:55.000 They were ballot harvesting.
01:22:56.000 They had done their harvesting.
01:22:57.000 You know, oddly enough, I was kind of riding the circuit for legal reasons.
01:23:03.000 You kind of go around and see where something's developing at a precinct or whatnot.
01:23:07.000 And, you know, I was like, I want to go to Steel Mill.
01:23:10.000 I want to actually see like, you know, the flash dance kind of thing where like people, the actual thing's still going on.
01:23:16.000 So we got to this town.
01:23:18.000 Believe it or not, it's Fetterman's town, right?
01:23:21.000 We were driving through Fetterman's town.
01:23:22.000 It is the tiniest little town, right?
01:23:24.000 Rolled up to a precinct and there was a woman there basically with a clipboard who could tell you whether everybody in town had come or not.
01:23:33.000 They basically were vacuuming up the votes.
01:23:36.000 Wow.
01:23:36.000 And so if you see that level of organization, and that was just a little anecdote that I personally witnessed.
01:23:47.000 I would be very wary about Pennsylvania.
01:23:50.000 I mean, I went out to Butler, Pennsylvania, where the president was shot.
01:23:54.000 That was the most amazing rally in 2020.
01:23:57.000 It was so awesome.
01:23:59.000 The Osprey helicopters came in there at twilight.
01:24:02.000 Very surreal experience.
01:24:04.000 Their planes fortunate son, and it was just these choppers coming in
01:24:08.000 across the setting, son.
01:24:10.000 President Trump gave really a barnraiser of a speech that night and
01:24:16.000 barnburner of a speech, and just great enthusiasm, right?
01:24:21.000 Like, we got this.
01:24:23.000 And sure enough, you know, we didn't have it.
01:24:26.000 What do you think the plan, what do you think Democrats' shadow campaign plan is this time?
01:24:31.000 I think it's the illegal aliens. I think that the 20 million or whoever, you know,
01:24:36.000 the last election was decided by 70, 80,000 among certain states.
01:24:42.000 Think about just the numbers that could get registered through.
01:24:48.000 The motor voter law passed out, signed up for ballots, harvested.
01:24:55.000 My former colleague Mike Howell at the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project has done great work on this, but they showed a real estate condominium apartment complex in suburban Atlanta, basically filled with illegals.
01:25:13.000 I think they measured about 18% of the people were registered to vote.
01:25:18.000 And what happens then is the election is called for Kamala.
01:25:22.000 Several months later, investigators start pointing out on various podcasts and social media that they've uncovered another batch of 736 votes that came from illegal aliens.
01:25:32.000 And the courts don't care.
01:25:33.000 They say you have no standing.
01:25:34.000 The election's over.
01:25:35.000 We'll just do it next time.
01:25:37.000 Next time, file a suit.
01:25:39.000 What's the motor voter laws?
01:25:42.000 That was one of the seminal things.
01:25:45.000 I believe it was under Clinton, but basically when you go to get your driver's license, under federal law, the various states have to make it available for you to register a vote at the same time.
01:25:58.000 So it's check a box.
01:26:00.000 Now, in some cases, the box is already checked for you.
01:26:04.000 But this was a great way of, in theory, getting more people to register to vote.
01:26:09.000 But there's no one way to see whether someone's a citizen and has the right to vote.
01:26:16.000 And that's the problem.
01:26:18.000 So now you hear these anecdotal stories about clerks at DMV basically signing up everybody.
01:26:25.000 Right now, if you go to Pennsylvania and you're illegal, you can get a driving permit.
01:26:32.000 And you can avail yourself of this law.
01:26:34.000 There's illegal immigrants registered to vote in Texas.
01:26:37.000 I mean, it's not just a blue state issue.
01:26:40.000 It's across the board.
01:26:41.000 This is the real threat right now to clearing out the voting rolls because, you know, North Carolina, the absentee ballots get mailed out two weeks from now, September 6th.
01:26:53.000 Well, and you also have all of these cases where there's illegal immigrants who are likely scheduled to vote, but anytime there's an investigation or anytime, like, Ken Paxton is trying to bring it up, right?
01:27:05.000 Or you have another great attorney general in Missouri, Andrew Bailey, right?
01:27:10.000 So anytime it gets brought up, you have the big Democrat foundations going in and suing everybody.
01:27:16.000 And they just bring suit after suit and these injunctions go in.
01:27:21.000 And it's very difficult to get past that.
01:27:23.000 We see that with the trans stuff, you know?
01:27:27.000 The lawsuits are just rampant.
01:27:28.000 And that's something, a passion of mine, that I may turn to is really standing up a public interest firm for the right that is going to really take on a lot of this litigation.
01:27:40.000 You'll have to be the right wings, Mark Elias.
01:27:42.000 Hey, I'm ready to go to work.
01:27:45.000 My big case was Chevron Ecuador, which if you don't know about that, that was a decades long saga, but it was with New York City lawyers, plaintiff lawyers, progressives who sued Chevron, which was had acquired Texaco for environmental damage down in
01:28:05.000 Ecuador. But essentially what it was was a faked up lawsuit where they planned to ultimately bring a
01:28:11.000 27 billion dollar judgment against Chevron and extort them into a settlement. They went to the court
01:28:17.000 down in Ecuador and soup to nuts made up.
01:28:19.000 He hired the judge.
01:28:23.000 They wrote his opinion in Boulder, Colorado, in English.
01:28:26.000 They translated it into Spanish.
01:28:28.000 They passed it off on the zip drive in the middle of the jungle and wanted to basically enforce this against Chevron.
01:28:35.000 I came into the case, they had brought along a documentary film crew to basically film this whole thing and put pressure, develop like a Michael Moore type documentary that would put pressure on Chevron to settle.
01:28:48.000 And what happened was they filmed 600 hours over two years for a two hour movie.
01:28:53.000 I came in with a crew and basically we sued for those outtakes, the 598 hours, where they
01:28:59.000 filmed themselves doing all kinds of nefarious things.
01:29:03.000 Wow.
01:29:04.000 We were able to basically unravel this massive fraud.
01:29:06.000 That's crazy.
01:29:07.000 But at every juncture, it was such a great learning lesson because one, they were extremely
01:29:13.000 wily and hard to pin down, very resourceful, and they knew at some point the truth would
01:29:20.000 catch up with them.
01:29:21.000 But that was never their game.
01:29:22.000 Their game was to outrun you to as long as possible.
01:29:26.000 That's what the Democrats are doing now?
01:29:27.000 That's exactly their modus operandi.
01:29:30.000 And in the Chevron case, you had a company that was committed to the lawsuit, which had very deep pockets, but it was not an easy legal case for us to bring.
01:29:41.000 But the reality is that we don't have that compliment right now.
01:29:44.000 We do not have the Mark Elias of the right and we need that.
01:29:49.000 And when and until we get serious, like we don't need another TV ad.
01:29:54.000 We need actual competent lawyers being, you know, remunerated for their time and also told that they're going to be indemnified and be taken care of, you know, so we're not having electors dragged off to prison.
01:30:09.000 And so, you know, basically, again, this is why the left has lost their minds about Project 2025, because we organized it.
01:30:17.000 We actually got together and got rolling in the same direction.
01:30:21.000 We have to do that on the legal front.
01:30:23.000 Yeah, what got a lot of these electors hauled off to prison exactly?
01:30:29.000 You know, it's left-wing attorney generals getting elected with concocted legal theories, I think, and just the basic, you know, it's malicious... It's really, really simple.
01:30:44.000 The left uses the threat of violence and goes and kidnaps people and locks them in boxes.
01:30:50.000 There's nothing else to it.
01:30:52.000 The idea that it's a legal theory, I think, is just a bit too sympathetic to what they're doing.
01:30:57.000 When they tell cops to go to someone's house and lock them in a box, and the cops go, you got it, and don't care, and there's no law behind it, it's effectively just gang warfare.
01:31:06.000 Donald Trump didn't break any laws.
01:31:08.000 Donald Trump didn't abuse or assault anybody.
01:31:10.000 He didn't defraud any businesses.
01:31:12.000 New York just ordered men with guns to go and drag them into a box.
01:31:15.000 But what's the argument that they made?
01:31:17.000 That's my question more specifically.
01:31:19.000 Like, what was their argument?
01:31:20.000 Yeah, well, they first they start with the rhetoric.
01:31:22.000 They frame it as fake electors, right?
01:31:25.000 This is fake.
01:31:25.000 This is a false certification.
01:31:28.000 But like Tim was saying earlier, this is what they did in Hawaii in 1960.
01:31:33.000 this is what they did in, I forget, like 1870s, you know, the disputed...
01:31:38.000 76.
01:31:39.000 That ended Reconstruction, 76.
01:31:41.000 Yeah.
01:31:42.000 I mean, like, this is all the way through American history.
01:31:44.000 It's how you have to do it.
01:31:45.000 There's no other way to do it.
01:31:47.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:31:48.000 But, you know, we have an American history deficit here, and, you know, that's the thing
01:31:56.000 with malicious prosecution.
01:31:58.000 You bring a case that does, like all these Trump cases are fake, right?
01:32:02.000 They don't actually have a legal basis underneath them.
01:32:05.000 But just the machinery of dragging somebody into court, going through that, not only wears them down psychologically and financially, but also gives some credence to the fake allegation in the first place that you're abiding by this process.
01:32:23.000 This is why I gave the example of Ticketmaster.
01:32:25.000 If you and I are a single purchaser of tickets, and Ticketmaster is a company, Ticketmaster does not care at all what our dispute is between us over who owes whose money.
01:32:37.000 That makes no sense to them.
01:32:39.000 So when Georgia, for instance, has Democrat and Republican electors, the Democrats win the election, Governor certifies them, sends them to the federal government.
01:32:49.000 The Republicans then say, well, we're in a dispute here.
01:32:52.000 The federal government says, don't care.
01:32:56.000 If you don't submit your paperwork by the 14th, you did not submit your paperwork.
01:33:00.000 There's no coordination and negotiation between two separate legal jurisdictions.
01:33:05.000 So what happens is, the Republicans say, OK, fill out the paperwork and submit it.
01:33:10.000 Then, if the judge rules in our favor, we inform the government that the actual certification will be the Republicans, not the Democrats.
01:33:17.000 That's what they did in Hawaii in 1960.
01:33:19.000 That's the only way you can do it.
01:33:21.000 If the Republicans do not submit the paperwork, then when the court rules actually the Republicans win, the federal government says, too bad, you didn't submit your paperwork by the deadline, so you didn't submit your paperwork.
01:33:33.000 So when the Republicans do submit the paperwork, pending adjudication, the Democrats in the state then order police officers to go and, with the threat of force and violence against these people, arrest them.
01:33:44.000 And the paperwork was to say, hold up?
01:33:47.000 The paperwork was filing saying, Michigan delegates go for Trump.
01:33:56.000 They're supposed to do that, but then state attorneys went and arrested them for doing what they were supposed to do?
01:34:02.000 Right, because the idea is that, so here's what happened.
01:34:05.000 So you had electors, so let's, okay, let's just pick a state.
01:34:10.000 I don't know what the states are, but let's just pick a state like Pennsylvania.
01:34:14.000 So I don't think they did an electors, an alternate electors there, but let's say Pennsylvania.
01:34:19.000 So Pennsylvania was called for Biden.
01:34:22.000 Trump says, and this is hypothetical, Trump says, let's do a recount.
01:34:26.000 Right?
01:34:27.000 So as the recount request is going through the courts, the Trump campaign says, if we get a recount and we are successful, and it turns out we won, we're going to need to tell the Electoral College that Pennsylvania goes for Trump.
01:34:43.000 So we're going to need to have electors to say, hey, Electoral College, we're the electors.
01:34:48.000 We go for Trump.
01:34:49.000 Pennsylvania goes for Trump.
01:34:51.000 So essentially what happened was there were two sets of electors, one for Biden, one for Trump.
01:34:56.000 And whichever candidate was declared the winner of Pennsylvania after this hypothetical recount, those electors would have said, you know, it's us, it's our candidate.
01:35:08.000 The governor certified the Democrats.
01:35:10.000 The Republicans submit the paperwork because they were in active lawsuits.
01:35:15.000 Yes.
01:35:15.000 If the judges said, wow, the Democrats actually didn't win.
01:35:20.000 They would then inform the federal government that this state is hereby certifying the Republican and disqualifying the Democrat.
01:35:26.000 Because they would still have to get it in by the deadline.
01:35:29.000 If the Republicans don't submit the electors by the deadline, which I think was December 14th or 16th or something like this, then the federal government says, you didn't submit your paperwork.
01:35:38.000 So, bye!
01:35:39.000 We already got our electors.
01:35:40.000 This is exactly what happened in 1960.
01:35:42.000 Both sets were submitted.
01:35:44.000 The judge ruled.
01:35:45.000 The Democrat actually won, not the Republicans.
01:35:47.000 And so, Nixon, as VP, decided, without certification, he would just choose to count the votes for JFK instead.
01:35:56.000 And so this happened in a state, there were two sets of electors decided, and the police or the law went after one of the electors?
01:36:03.000 That's happening right now in a bunch of states.
01:36:05.000 They're arresting lawyers too.
01:36:07.000 Arizona, Michigan, you know, and that's, it also leads into what happened on J6, because that was the constitutionally ordained process to basically sort through these alternate slates of electors.
01:36:21.000 That's a process where the, when there is dissent, That they break into the bicameral houses and actually have, I think it was like two hours of debate.
01:36:31.000 So they were set to be basically arguing about the election, you know, presenting to and of Fro basically for the next 18 hours or something that day.
01:36:44.000 But for the intrusion into the Capitol that shut that whole process down, we might have seen a different result in the election.
01:36:52.000 So that begs the question of who had the motive to shut that down?
01:36:57.000 And that's really the important, the elemental aspect of the Fed's erection that transpired that day.
01:37:06.000 To the credit of Darren Beatty there at Revolver News that's really broken a lot of this, but you know, it's come into the consciousness that why was there such an impetus to shut down the events that were going on in Congress?
01:37:21.000 And so they potentially, conspiratorially, potentially incited their own thing so they didn't have to go through the votes.
01:37:30.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:37:33.000 I think the reporting came out this week that the pipe bombs, you know, the supposed pipe bombs that were placed at the DNC and the RNC were ultimate fallbacks for, you know, also disrupting the process.
01:37:46.000 You can pull that word.
01:37:49.000 Yeah, there was a good reason.
01:37:52.000 A lot of people had a lot of interest in stopping, you know, the process that day, and it was not MAGA.
01:38:02.000 What happened though, after that happened, after the whatever, the intrusion into the Capitol, then did they just like declare a martial law across the country and give authority, the opportunity to go arrest random electors against No, each attorney general did it themselves.
01:38:16.000 There's no authority to do it.
01:38:16.000 There's zero authority to do it.
01:38:18.000 There's zero authority to have arrested Trump in any one of these cases.
01:38:21.000 Zero authority.
01:38:23.000 It is crazy world.
01:38:27.000 Donald Trump was arrested without due process.
01:38:32.000 He was charged for a crime that lists in the charging documents, quote, another crime.
01:38:37.000 There's literally no crime by which Trump was charged for.
01:38:40.000 And then they convicted him for nothing in New York.
01:38:42.000 So this literally means that police officers and the government under threat of force against Trump said, come here or else.
01:38:50.000 And when Trump goes there, it's the guys in uniform with guns that are illegally holding him there.
01:38:56.000 They should all be in prison.
01:38:58.000 And I hope and I pray that each and every one of them goes to prison.
01:39:02.000 I hope Donald Trump is the psycho dictator that Democrats claim he's going to be.
01:39:07.000 And as soon as he's president, he says, each and every one of these law enforcement officers that arrested the electors and lawyers, you will be indicted on criminal charges for violations of constitutional rights, which is a crime at the federal level.
01:39:19.000 And we will send FBS, we will send law enforcement to your homes and drag you out in front of your children to watch because you are the scumbags burning this country down.
01:39:29.000 It was against constitutional law.
01:39:32.000 But was it okay with the state law?
01:39:33.000 There is no law allowing them to do this.
01:39:37.000 None.
01:39:38.000 They are making it up.
01:39:40.000 Donald Trump's charging documents in the 34 counts say, quote, another crime.
01:39:45.000 There's nothing listed.
01:39:46.000 They never listed the other crimes.
01:39:48.000 Particularly the electors.
01:39:49.000 OK, so the electors, the attorney generals.
01:39:52.000 Fraud and obstruction or something?
01:39:53.000 They say fraud, they say, you know, forging documents and stuff like that.
01:39:58.000 They've made up a whole bunch of charges.
01:40:00.000 It was at the very end when the judge, I believe, was giving the jury instructions.
01:40:03.000 He kind of gave this smorgasbord... Oh, you mean in the New York case?
01:40:08.000 In the New York case, yeah.
01:40:09.000 I got it.
01:40:09.000 Impersonating political public officials, racketeering, forgery, state crimes, fraudulent efforts to reverse election results.
01:40:16.000 These are all fake.
01:40:17.000 So you vote for an elector.
01:40:19.000 These are electoral slates.
01:40:21.000 These are people running to be the elector of the state.
01:40:24.000 They are candidates.
01:40:26.000 They are nominees, whatever.
01:40:27.000 When the votes come in, the governor certifies which slate will be sent to cast their votes.
01:40:33.000 And then the votes are cast, what, sometime in December?
01:40:35.000 Then the votes are sent to Congress to count.
01:40:37.000 The vice president comes in and counts them.
01:40:40.000 The only thing that should have happened is that Pence should have said, I'm going to count the ones that were certified by the governors.
01:40:46.000 And in my opinion, if the state legislatures filed a dispute and sent a letter to the VP saying, we are in dispute and we reject the certification by the governor, then the VP has no choice but to say, I can't count either of these because there's a dispute between the branches of the state.
01:41:01.000 But in this regard, let's just say Mike Pence says, we're going to count the certified electors.
01:41:06.000 I'm not going to be involved in whatever else is going on.
01:41:08.000 End of story.
01:41:09.000 All he has then is paperwork filed administratively that means nothing, and then you ignore it.
01:41:15.000 Which was the appropriate thing to do.
01:41:18.000 They arrested Trump's lawyers.
01:41:21.000 There is no authority.
01:41:22.000 There is none.
01:41:24.000 And I will stress again, we can look at racketeering, fraud, whatever garbled nonsense.
01:41:28.000 Impersonation of a public official, but they are public officials.
01:41:32.000 Well, they're running for it to be the electors, and they're saying, I hereby swear that I am the elector for the Republican, we will be voting for Trump, and it's all because we're waiting for a judge to issue a ruling.
01:41:42.000 And all you have to do in that capacity is just say, no, look, the judge ruled against you, so these are now disqualified, these are void, but thank you for filing.
01:41:50.000 That's it, that's all that happened, that's all that happened.
01:41:52.000 Why did they arrest Trump's lawyers?
01:41:54.000 In Wisconsin, I think they arrested two of them.
01:41:56.000 In Georgia, they arrested several.
01:41:58.000 Jenna Ellis, I'm not a fan of hers.
01:42:00.000 Why was she criminally charged under RICO in these cases?
01:42:04.000 Not Wisconsin.
01:42:05.000 Real quick, it says here that it's only in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada.
01:42:10.000 No, no, no, Trump's lawyers were recently charged.
01:42:12.000 I'm sorry, I don't want to say electors.
01:42:14.000 I'm saying they charged Trump's lawyers.
01:42:17.000 When they start arresting Trump's lawyers for literally providing constitutionally protected legal service, you are well outside the realm of any kind of legal jurisdiction or authority.
01:42:29.000 And I will stress this again, when it came to the 34 counts in Stormy Daniels' case, they said falsification of business records, quote, another crime.
01:42:37.000 When the jury was given instructions, the judge said, you don't need to be unanimous on what another crime means, which is unconstitutional, unquestionably.
01:42:48.000 Now they're saying that they're going to send Trump to prison on the 18th of September.
01:42:52.000 The theory is that they're going to stay as imprisonment on bail, pending appeal, but that way they will say Donald Trump is a convicted felon sentenced to prison.
01:43:01.000 And it's fake charges.
01:43:02.000 It's completely fake.
01:43:04.000 There is zero authority.
01:43:06.000 And why aren't we seeing any red states doing the same thing?
01:43:08.000 If the Democrats make up fake authorities and use non-existent statute to charge Trump, where is anyone else to do it to Kamala right now?
01:43:15.000 They're probably hoping that we reverse course.
01:43:19.000 Rather than jump on the bandwagon.
01:43:20.000 But I think with the tactic would be with Trump it's too much of a hot-button issue emotionally too much of a hot-button issue to try and reverse that right now although it might get reversed.
01:43:28.000 Reverse what?
01:43:29.000 Reverse course of trying to imprison him for these 34 false counts.
01:43:33.000 But with the electors that were doing their duty and then they got hit with false impersonation of a government official when that was their their purpose was to be that alternate slate.
01:43:43.000 Just like Hawaii did in 1960.
01:43:44.000 Yes sir.
01:43:46.000 That should be at least investigated and potentially overturned.
01:43:50.000 Bro, you're asking people who are beating you mercilessly to play fair.
01:43:53.000 Well, I'm asking the entire world to take a look at it and make a decision.
01:43:57.000 What's the entire world going to do, invade the United States?
01:43:59.000 No, no, just listen and make noise about it and explain it.
01:44:01.000 Well, here, with New York coming up, the electors, that's a great injustice.
01:44:07.000 It's going to have to get rectified.
01:44:11.000 And we need to provide them the resources to defend themselves right now and talk out against it, and state attorney generals have to intervene, as well as any other interest party.
01:44:23.000 But the RNC obviously should indemnify these folks, because many of them actually were campaign workers.
01:44:29.000 These are 70-year-old grandmas and stuff.
01:44:32.000 It's outrageous.
01:44:33.000 But with the 18th and the sentencing, that's the quintessence of election interference.
01:44:38.000 The very fact that you're having a sentencing hearing and basically making the vote for
01:44:44.000 president a referendum on whether or not Donald Trump goes to prison is quintessential election
01:44:52.000 reference.
01:44:53.000 Well, and what's crazy about it— You know, but to basically get in front of that, that, you
01:45:00.000 know, we need to go into New York state law and to the—
01:45:05.000 The Supreme Court and the federal government is going to have to intervene as their purpose is.
01:45:11.000 doing that.
01:45:12.000 It's not going to happen.
01:45:13.000 The Supreme Court and the federal government is going to have to intervene as their purpose
01:45:16.000 is.
01:45:17.000 When the state goes rogue, Bailey is suing New York for interference.
01:45:22.000 Supreme Court, I imagine, will do nothing.
01:45:24.000 But the issue is actually right before our eyes.
01:45:27.000 Donald Trump has been falsely sued on sexual assault claims, which are nonsensical, from 30 years ago.
01:45:33.000 And they passed a law that allowed her to reopen up statute of limitations so she could do it.
01:45:39.000 It makes no sense.
01:45:40.000 The story makes no sense.
01:45:41.000 They claimed business fraud, even though the people he defrauded said he never defrauded us, he gave us full disclosure.
01:45:46.000 Said, too bad, we're going to say he did anyway.
01:45:49.000 And they're charging him $367 million.
01:45:50.000 And he's had to pay $100 million.
01:45:53.000 Then they criminally charge him for quote, another crime.
01:45:55.000 This is insanity.
01:45:58.000 And it was quarterbacked by the Biden DOJ and the White House.
01:46:01.000 Who quit his job in the DOJ to go work for a local prosecutor's office.
01:46:05.000 It's the number three in the Biden DOJ who left his job to go and do this suit.
01:46:11.000 He took one of the biggest demotions we've ever seen in the legal system, and it's staring you in the face.
01:46:20.000 The Democrats win.
01:46:21.000 You get an installed Kamala Harris no one voted for.
01:46:24.000 Maybe they vote for her in the general.
01:46:27.000 She has no campaign positions.
01:46:29.000 The Democrats in New York are using made-up fake charges and fake law that doesn't exist to try and arrest their political rival.
01:46:38.000 And what are the Republicans doing?
01:46:40.000 Well, that's what I'm asking.
01:46:40.000 Arguing.
01:46:41.000 Paul, like you're saying, you go into New York State law to investigate what exactly?
01:46:46.000 Well, there's mechanisms that they can be appealing right now.
01:46:50.000 At common law you have, and actually in the New York State statute, what they call Article 78 proceeding, which says that the higher court can basically stop the lower court, say that they're acting outside of the law.
01:47:06.000 And then join them from doing anything further.
01:47:08.000 And that's pretty much a slam dunk.
01:47:10.000 Now you could say, like Tim's saying, look, the whole New York court system is filled with partisans and they're not going to step in front of this.
01:47:18.000 But at least you can give it a shot.
01:47:21.000 Because look, New York is the capital of the world, right?
01:47:24.000 This is where people come to have their economic Wait.
01:47:29.000 done, but their fallback is because there's a rule of law there. People make billions
01:47:34.000 of dollars on that. The rest of the world is watching this, and New York is going to
01:47:39.000 suffer enormous harm economically if the court system doesn't work.
01:47:44.000 We're going to go to Super Chat, so smash the like button, subscribe to the channel,

01:47:51.000 a member to support the show, and you'll get access to that members-only call-in show coming
01:47:56.000 up in just a few minutes, actually, because we went very long, and I think it was important
01:48:00.000 because this stuff matters.
01:48:01.000 The degree to which this country has fallen as to what's going on with Trump, we're at the point where a bullet struck the man in the side of the head.
01:48:09.000 So if you want to talk about how crazy things are getting, it's getting crazy, but let's read your Super Chats.
01:48:14.000 TokenBlackGuy says, howdy people!
01:48:16.000 Tim, did you see that O'Keefe is in disguise, the DNC?
01:48:18.000 I didn't see it!
01:48:19.000 Love it.
01:48:20.000 I didn't see it.
01:48:20.000 I have a picture, I have a picture of it.
01:48:23.000 O'Keefe, I was thinking of Matt Walsh.
01:48:25.000 No, no, Matt Walsh we saw.
01:48:27.000 Okay, they're all getting down.
01:48:28.000 TheBrianMadigan says, hey Tim, did you know Down Under was found guilty of plagiarism?
01:48:34.000 Aussie here.
01:48:35.000 And he says, wasn't badmouthing just pointing out a fact?
01:48:37.000 Wrong!
01:48:39.000 Sure, you're correct, they were found guilty of plagiarism, but it's clearly BS.
01:48:44.000 The argument was the song Down Under's flute riff sounds too much like some classical song Kookaburra Children's BS.
01:48:51.000 It's nonsensical, and it besmirches the good name of Men at Work, and I reject it outright.
01:48:58.000 It's nonsense.
01:48:58.000 It's utter nonsense.
01:49:00.000 Tim is the number one Men at Work fan in the world, I believe.
01:49:03.000 We've got a lot of Men at Work playing in this office.
01:49:05.000 Men at Work is the greatest band of this region.
01:49:07.000 They're fascinatingly awesome.
01:49:08.000 I'm kidding, by the way.
01:49:09.000 They're actually really great.
01:49:10.000 I told it to Richie, who's Australian, and he was like, they may be the greatest band.
01:49:14.000 And I was like, I'm actually just kidding.
01:49:15.000 They're really good.
01:49:16.000 And he goes, oh, that's blasphemy.
01:49:17.000 He wanted it.
01:49:17.000 Yeah.
01:49:18.000 He wanted you to mean it.
01:49:19.000 Well, in Australia, they are.
01:49:20.000 They're so good.
01:49:21.000 Yeah, because they got big in Australia, but became international sensations.
01:49:26.000 That's a big deal for Australia.
01:49:27.000 And their network is actually really, really good.
01:49:31.000 They get great stuff.
01:49:32.000 Who could it be now?
01:49:33.000 Come on.
01:49:33.000 Who could it be now?
01:49:35.000 All right, we'll grab some more.
01:49:37.000 Kayson Womble says, just watched Phil rock it out here in Austin, Texas.
01:49:40.000 So I'll catch the show later.
01:49:41.000 Love y'all.
01:49:42.000 Love you, too.
01:49:44.000 Shout out to Phil Labonte.
01:49:46.000 Shane Barr says, the Trump team needs a TV ad campaign targeting boomer Democrats featuring RFK Jr.
01:49:52.000 and Tulsi to talk about how this is no longer the party of JFK.
01:49:55.000 Agreed.
01:49:56.000 I love that.
01:49:57.000 Yeah, vote Republican, not vote Trump.
01:49:59.000 Vote Republican.
01:50:00.000 That's an interesting concept.
01:50:01.000 Yeah.
01:50:02.000 David Glass says, I knew you would return to the keto family after a few months of carbs.
01:50:06.000 I recommend guest Dr. Ken Berry and Homestead Howe, PhD Healing Humanity.
01:50:12.000 Indeed!
01:50:13.000 Yeah, I just, you know, you know what really got me?
01:50:16.000 Is I went out to eat and we got tableside guacamole and a big old bowl of sour cream and I was like, honestly, I just really enjoy olive oil.
01:50:25.000 We went to Barcelona in Reston, Virginia.
01:50:28.000 It's one of my favorite restaurants.
01:50:30.000 You guys, shout out if you're in the area, go to Barcelona.
01:50:32.000 I think it's Wine Bar.
01:50:33.000 It's a tapas restaurant.
01:50:34.000 And I'm just like, olive oil, avocado, sour cream, I don't care for the sugar.
01:50:38.000 Why am I eating carbs at all?
01:50:40.000 I'm happy doing ketogenic stuff.
01:50:42.000 So I'm just... Today I had a bunch of chicken and guacamole.
01:50:47.000 Nice.
01:50:47.000 That's good.
01:50:48.000 They're gonna buy a bunch of avocados now.
01:50:50.000 Avocados are based.
01:50:51.000 I always have so many avocados.
01:50:53.000 I shared, I don't know if I'm going to say this, but I shared a super chat for myself from October 25th, 2021.
01:51:00.000 It was after the first membership meetup, the only time, and a lot of comments I got because you were looking, you know, you were a little thick.
01:51:08.000 A little thick.
01:51:09.000 But yeah, it was fun.
01:51:11.000 It's 2021, you know, but now you're not.
01:51:13.000 See, that's the thing.
01:51:14.000 I was skating.
01:51:15.000 And I was just like, I don't know.
01:51:16.000 I didn't care.
01:51:17.000 I didn't think about it.
01:51:17.000 And then after COVID, I was like, I'll do keto.
01:51:20.000 And then just boom, 30 pounds gone.
01:51:22.000 Like within a couple months, it was crazy.
01:51:24.000 I wasn't even thinking about it.
01:51:26.000 And I just feel better doing keto.
01:51:29.000 To be fair, at the time when I started doing keto, I was eating a lot of just like salami and cheese dip.
01:51:33.000 Very unhealthy.
01:51:35.000 Now I'm having eggs with avocado, olive oil, and, you know, spinach or whatever.
01:51:38.000 Cutting out the vegetable oils, too.
01:51:40.000 That is incredible.
01:51:41.000 Oh, dude.
01:51:42.000 Yeah, the seed oils are gone.
01:51:42.000 I think we're going to end up having a doctor on Culture War, the head leading seed oil expert on Earth, Kate Shanahan, I think.
01:51:49.000 Are we doing that?
01:51:50.000 Yeah.
01:51:50.000 We should definitely.
01:51:51.000 Yeah.
01:51:52.000 And we're getting protein bars made because Mark Lobliner was here.
01:51:55.000 That's going through?
01:51:56.000 Oh, he sent me a picture already.
01:51:58.000 He's like, these are awesome.
01:51:59.000 They're protein, peanut butter, keto, low sugar.
01:52:03.000 so amped.
01:52:04.000 Yeah, and he said they taste super good, just the peanut butter bars themselves, and I'm
01:52:07.000 like, that's what I'm talking about.
01:52:10.000 But then we're gonna have our own protein bars.
01:52:11.000 And I told him, I was like, I don't know, I mean, we could sell them, but honestly,
01:52:14.000 I would just love to have hundreds of them here that we could eat, because we're skating
01:52:17.000 all the time.
01:52:18.000 And he was like, bro, we're gonna get it done.
01:52:20.000 Is he gonna call it the Tim Bar, like he said?
01:52:22.000 Tim Bar?
01:52:23.000 No.
01:52:24.000 Like a tree.
01:52:25.000 Tim Bar!
01:52:26.000 Right, right.
01:52:27.000 Todd B. says, going to say the dirty word Civil War.
01:52:30.000 Tim, I pity the person and this country if said person was to attack Trump while he stepped away from bulletproof glass to check and help on someone.
01:52:37.000 I mean, that would be nuts.
01:52:40.000 But there was someone there with weapons.
01:52:42.000 Newsweek reported it.
01:52:43.000 That could be anything.
01:52:43.000 That could be just a right-wing dude who has weapons in his vehicle.
01:52:46.000 Any person in general.
01:52:47.000 It's true.
01:52:48.000 It's true.
01:52:49.000 OMG Puppy says, bogus job numbers.
01:52:51.000 Next you'll be telling me that crime has gotten worse.
01:52:54.000 Again, I'll stress this because Buttigieg was on Fox & Friends and he was like, crime went up under Donald Trump.
01:52:59.000 I mean, I don't think your viewers know that.
01:53:00.000 And I'm like, yeah, he's the president of the federal, you know, federal government.
01:53:05.000 So what were your governors doing?
01:53:07.000 The crime was in red, was in, and he was like, well, what about Mississippi?
01:53:10.000 And it's like, dude, yes, fine.
01:53:12.000 And we criticize all of them.
01:53:13.000 But what about New York, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle?
01:53:16.000 Come on, don't give me that.
01:53:17.000 Minnesota, or I should say Minneapolis.
01:53:19.000 That's like my dad.
01:53:20.000 He was so mad that Trump did not call in the National Guard during the Summer of Love.
01:53:25.000 Yeah?
01:53:25.000 He's a Democrat.
01:53:26.000 He's like, why didn't he do that?
01:53:27.000 Because the world's burned down.
01:53:28.000 He's like, Raymond, what's up with Trump?
01:53:30.000 Why didn't he do it?
01:53:30.000 I'm like, Dad, you know, Amendment 10.
01:53:33.000 10th Amendment.
01:53:33.000 You can't do it.
01:53:34.000 You just can't do what you want in states.
01:53:36.000 Yep.
01:53:36.000 We're a republic.
01:53:37.000 You can invoke the Insurrection Act and call in the National Guard to enforce the law when the law is not being enforced by the local jurisdictions.
01:53:45.000 So, is that Pete Buttigieg's argument?
01:53:48.000 Crime went up under Trump?
01:53:49.000 It's like, sure, Trump should have sent in the National Guard to the Democrat states that refused.
01:53:53.000 Is that what you're arguing?
01:53:54.000 Because I'm more than happy to entertain that argument the next time Trump gets in.
01:53:58.000 Amen.
01:53:58.000 Me too.
01:53:59.000 All right.
01:54:01.000 Korowag says, Gen Z has been fighting this job market even the last two years of Trump's administration.
01:54:06.000 The way they report jobs and unemployment is inaccurate.
01:54:09.000 Why we need an overhaul of the reports and the government that we will never get?
01:54:14.000 Yeah, because they remove you from the stats if you stop looking for work, I believe, right?
01:54:18.000 So unemployment numbers go down if people give up.
01:54:21.000 After a certain period of time, yes.
01:54:23.000 What do they do on the sidelines?
01:54:26.000 Yeah, because if you drop off the unemployment rolls, then you no longer count as unemployed.
01:54:31.000 Ryan Mikesell says we can use Ian's weather control vibes to sway votes.
01:54:36.000 That might be possible.
01:54:37.000 Ian will be the vibrarian.
01:54:39.000 I'm like, I don't know if I want to manipulate nature too much, because like, the Earth kind of knows what it needs, but humans... I'm just imagining Luke and Ian standing outside, and Ian's doing this weird pose, and Luke's going, whoa!
01:54:50.000 And everyone else is like, those guys are nuts.
01:54:52.000 He's like the Avatar.
01:54:54.000 You don't even need to move, you just focus.
01:54:56.000 I love it.
01:54:58.000 Let's grab a couple more Super Chats here.
01:55:00.000 Let's see what we got going on.
01:55:03.000 Kiabo Bandit says the most genius play the Dems could do is submit around 1 million fake bouts for Trump, and then actually do a full audit and realize Trump stole the election, then install Kamala 5D chess.
01:55:13.000 That was actually one of our members last night on the Members Only show who mentioned that.
01:55:18.000 Her fear was the shadow campaign will be, they actually stuff bouts for Trump.
01:55:23.000 That way, when Trump wins, so they expect Trump to win.
01:55:27.000 They're going to catch a certain number of fake votes.
01:55:31.000 Then, when Trump wins, they can say, whoa, we just found a whole bunch of fraudulent votes from Trump.
01:55:36.000 And then, in Congress, the Democrats refuse to certify, saying the amount of fraudulent votes for Trump that have been found may not overturn the results entirely, but there's enough of them to indicate it may be the case this election is not correct, and therefore we will not certify.
01:55:52.000 But granted, haven't Democrats rejected every Republican certification going back 30 years?
01:55:56.000 Yeah.
01:55:57.000 They rejected the Trump certification.
01:56:00.000 In 2016?
01:56:01.000 Yeah, like Jamie Raskin freaked out about it.
01:56:04.000 Because he's an insurrectionist.
01:56:05.000 Yeah.
01:56:05.000 And a white supremacist.
01:56:06.000 Both of those things.
01:56:07.000 Amen.
01:56:08.000 You know that he's a white supremacist is because he's white.
01:56:12.000 Well, he celebrates it.
01:56:13.000 Yeah.
01:56:15.000 I watched Matt Walsh's movie the other day.
01:56:17.000 I got a screener.
01:56:18.000 Oh, yeah.
01:56:18.000 And I really enjoyed it.
01:56:20.000 It's good?
01:56:21.000 Yeah, I thought it was great.
01:56:23.000 I think they got something with this Matt Walsh, like, mockumentary-style thing.
01:56:28.000 I think it's really fun.
01:56:29.000 Two for two, he's gonna be two for two, I think.
01:56:31.000 I mean, what did they make, like, a hundred million dollars off the first one?
01:56:34.000 And this one's gonna be, like, a real theatrical release, which is cool.
01:56:38.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:56:39.000 What's it called?
01:56:40.000 Amiracist.
01:56:40.000 Amiracist.
01:56:41.000 Yeah, dude.
01:56:42.000 It's all about how he's doing the work.
01:56:45.000 I mean, he's going on the journey, man.
01:56:46.000 He's, like, really doing it.
01:56:48.000 Wow.
01:56:48.000 He was even with Maya Angelou, right?
01:56:50.000 No, Robyn D'Angelo.
01:56:52.000 Robyn D'Angelo.
01:56:52.000 Maya Angelou's a musician.
01:56:55.000 She's awesome.
01:56:56.000 But she fooled him.
01:56:58.000 He fooled her.
01:56:59.000 That's gonna be great.
01:56:59.000 Yeah, and there's a clip where she's like, we gotta be careful, because you never know.
01:57:03.000 And he's like, right.
01:57:04.000 Never be too careful.
01:57:06.000 I can't believe he pulled it off.
01:57:07.000 These people are so dumb!
01:57:08.000 They don't even know who he was!
01:57:10.000 He's wearing like a man bun.
01:57:12.000 Normally he wears like a flannel and some jeans, right?
01:57:15.000 He's wearing like a man bun wig and a tweed jacket and skinny jeans and they don't recognize him.
01:57:22.000 And what you can tell from that is they're just so surface.
01:57:25.000 They look at your appearance and they assume they know everything about you.
01:57:29.000 And that's why they don't do any research.
01:57:31.000 How do they not know who Matt Walsh is?
01:57:32.000 He's got 3 million followers on X. And he goes in there with his real name.
01:57:37.000 He gives his proper name.
01:57:39.000 Yeah, it's crazy.
01:57:41.000 That's how bad they are.
01:57:42.000 That's how bad they are.
01:57:44.000 All right, KCB says, Ian, you said you would vote for RFK just to not upset anyone.
01:57:49.000 That is what is wrong with this whole world.
01:57:51.000 Be brave with your voice.
01:57:52.000 No, I said I would vote for RFK because I believe in him.
01:57:55.000 At least that's why I would have voted for him.
01:57:56.000 But I said that I wouldn't vote for Trump in the past because I didn't want to upset half of my friends and family.
01:58:02.000 They're not your friends.
01:58:04.000 That's kind of the truth.
01:58:06.000 People that refuse to talk to you because of politics are pretty much lost.
01:58:10.000 Or at least just because someone's lost doesn't mean they're never going to find their way again.
01:58:13.000 But at this moment, they tend to be seem to be lost.
01:58:15.000 Well, the weird thing is that people can decide that they hate you because they disagree with you about some stuff.
01:58:22.000 Politics didn't used to be such such the huge deal that it is now.
01:58:26.000 And now it like divides families, it breaks up relationships.
01:58:29.000 You know, it pits parents against child.
01:58:31.000 It kills friendships.
01:58:33.000 And it doesn't make any sense.
01:58:34.000 That's not what politics should be.
01:58:35.000 You should be able to have different opinions from your friends and still be chill.
01:58:39.000 I think a lot about Ben Franklin, who basically lost connection with his son because his son remained a loyalist to the king.
01:58:44.000 Oh yeah, that's right.
01:58:46.000 Freaking red coat.
01:58:47.000 Sorry, Tim.
01:58:49.000 Let's go!
01:58:50.000 Michelle Campbell says, Tim, crazy folks have got to stop going so hard on moderates.
01:58:55.000 We need them.
01:58:56.000 Also, Tim, the officers should face charges said with love.
01:59:00.000 What's what's wrong with what I said at all?
01:59:01.000 How are those in any way contradictory?
01:59:03.000 Going after moderates.
01:59:05.000 These are regular people who are sitting around watching sporting events.
01:59:08.000 And then you've got Trump supporters insulting and attacking them.
01:59:11.000 And they're like, why am I being attacked by Trump supporters?
01:59:13.000 These people are crazy.
01:59:14.000 I'm talking about police officers who arrested people illegally and unconstitutionally being criminally charged for committing crimes.
01:59:23.000 Are you saying like the cops are all the moderates we're trying to get?
01:59:26.000 I thought she agreed with you.
01:59:27.000 No, she's saying I said crazy folks have got to stop going after moderates.
01:59:31.000 We need them.
01:59:31.000 And I also then said officers should face charges.
01:59:33.000 Maybe she's saying the way you were saying it was angry and that will put people off if they're not political.
01:59:38.000 It has nothing to do with my point.
01:59:39.000 I don't want to be part of that angry guys crowd.
01:59:42.000 That's a totally different point.
01:59:43.000 The first point is when Trump's diehards start attacking Joe Rogan.
01:59:49.000 Joe Rogan then on his show says, ah, it's all tribalism.
01:59:51.000 I don't want to be involved in it anymore.
01:59:53.000 And they've just made sure to push away one of the biggest podcasts, if not the biggest, with moderates.
01:59:59.000 And the response from these guys on X was to gloat over doing it.
02:00:02.000 Can we call them Trump's diehards or just online personality shills?
02:00:06.000 Some of these people are just, they're themselves paid by the campaign too and they're just systematically going through it.
02:00:14.000 Are these Kamala employees?
02:00:16.000 No, I think some of them might be on the Trump campaign.
02:00:19.000 They're attacking you even.
02:00:22.000 If Trump loses, it's going to be for this reason.
02:00:32.000 It's his to lose.
02:00:32.000 It has to be additive.
02:00:34.000 You base plus, you add people, you have to build a coalition.
02:00:39.000 And it's exactly the people at the margin that you're working for.
02:00:43.000 That's why I think we all can have a great sense of optimism with Friday's announcement.
02:00:49.000 I like it.
02:00:50.000 I like that.
02:00:50.000 Someone in the chat said, Ben says, who cares about Rogan?
02:00:53.000 I think about 10 million viewers per episode, and are mostly moderate, some left-leaning libertarian types who support RFK Jr.
02:01:00.000 How about you throw them all away and tell them to go vote for Kamala, and then you lose.
02:01:04.000 And then you're gonna go, why did I lose?
02:01:06.000 Okay, well, you know, there you go.
02:01:08.000 And then whoever they talk to, like the 10 million they talk to other people, they all talk about it.
02:01:13.000 It's more than 10 million.
02:01:15.000 It's like Joe Rogan is hanging out on your front porch, And he's like, I don't know what they're doing in the back, they're making a lot of noise, something about Trump.
02:01:23.000 You should be going like, hey man, come on man, come hang out with us.
02:01:26.000 We got beers, we got drinks, we're watching UFC.
02:01:30.000 Instead, they're like, get him out of here, he's a loser!
02:01:33.000 And then he's like, okay, I'll stay out.
02:01:34.000 And he's got 10 million viewers.
02:01:36.000 And he's got his 10 friends that are gonna come over to watch the game, but like, oh wait, apparently he's a bad person, so he's not coming.
02:01:40.000 No, he's going to go into Madison Square Garden for a sold-out event to, you know, what, 10, 20,000 people, and he's going to say, Democrats are nuts.
02:01:48.000 Now he's going to go up and say, Republicans and Democrats are nuts.
02:01:50.000 Congratulations, you've just sabotaged yourself with moderates.
02:01:53.000 Nice job, Cat Turd.
