00:02:26.000 It is day two of the midterm RNC.
00:02:30.000 They're currently doing a 9 11 memorial.
00:02:33.000 They had nice words to say about Charlie Kirk, and I don't know if they've done the memorial for him yet, but I'm sure everyone's going to be talking a bit about it.
00:02:40.000 Today is Charlie Kirk Day.
00:02:42.000 It's all anyone's talking about.
00:02:44.000 And I think it actually is very important that we do talk about it because, one, he was murdered.
00:02:50.000 They celebrate his death, they're calling for more death.
00:02:55.000 And I think it's important to talk about what Charlie was trying to accomplish, what he did accomplish.
00:03:00.000 The reason why is, well, as the RNC says, we will never forget what Charlie stood for.
00:03:06.000 This is actually a Trump Jr. posting that on Rumble.
00:03:08.000 And so we'll talk about that.
00:03:09.000 But we'll also talk about Trump's promise of $5,000 if the Republicans win the House and the Senate.
00:03:16.000 Liberals are apoplectic.
00:03:17.000 They're saying it's illegal to do this.
00:03:19.000 It's not.
00:03:21.000 They do the exact same thing.
00:03:23.000 So we will talk about that.
00:03:24.000 Plus, we got big news the FBI has arrested several people for ballot harvesting schemes.
00:03:28.000 They said these individuals were paying. 1.00
00:03:30.000 Homeless individuals to commit voter fraud or other petition fraud. 0.78
00:03:34.000 This, of course, was uncovered by several journalists, including James O'Keefe, who did incredible work on this.
00:03:38.000 So we'll talk about all of that.
00:03:40.000 We got a great crew hanging out as we go through the night.
00:03:43.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we have Jonathan Otto.
00:03:47.000 Hi.
00:03:47.000 I'm Jonathan.
00:03:48.000 I am an investigative journalist.
00:03:50.000 I am currently directing the latest Make America Healthy Again documentary film with RFK Jr.
00:03:57.000 I'm so excited to get back, helping people get better.
00:03:59.000 I'm perplexed at what.
00:04:01.000 Going on in the world when it comes to cancer, autoimmune disease, and just here to put an end to that as much as I can in my life and through my work.
00:04:07.000 So, thank you for having me on the show.
00:04:08.000 Right on.
00:04:09.000 Libby's hanging out.
00:04:10.000 I'm Libby Evans.
00:04:10.000 I'm hanging out.
00:04:11.000 Glad to be here with you guys.
00:04:12.000 I'm the editor at the Post Millennial.
00:04:14.000 Happy to be on the show and to talk about Charlie on this anniversary.
00:04:18.000 Yeah, what's going on, Patriots?
00:04:19.000 Tape around here holding down.
00:04:20.000 Phil, what's going on?
00:04:21.000 What's up, everybody?
00:04:22.000 What's up, Carter?
00:04:23.000 Howdy.
00:04:24.000 Can't believe it's been a year.
00:04:26.000 Hell of a year.
00:04:27.000 Let's get into it.
00:04:28.000 We'll start.
00:04:30.000 Maybe we should.
00:04:30.000 We'll start with the news because I know there's a lot of.
00:04:32.000 People that are interested in the news.
00:04:34.000 But then, of course, I do want to spend some time talking about Charlie.
00:04:36.000 But we'll start here.
00:04:38.000 We've got this from PBS Trump's vow of $5,000 payments to Americans faces bipartisan criticism.
00:04:46.000 Luke Rutkowski posting, raising the debt $1.5 trillion is one reason why I'm now thinking about voting Democrats.
00:04:54.000 Who the hell ever thought I would say that?
00:04:55.000 I wasn't going to vote, but now we might have to, so the country does not go broke.
00:05:00.000 I just want to say my response to Luke was, I don't think supporting open borders and sex changes for kids is an appropriate response to overspending.
00:05:09.000 But I do want to stress the Democrats are committed to substantially more spending than Republicans.
00:05:15.000 So if your argument is that Republicans are bad and Democrats are worse, you're going to vote for the Democrats who are worse.
00:05:19.000 I don't think it really holds up.
00:05:21.000 What I can just say is it's legal to do.
00:05:24.000 It's actually cheaper than what Democrats are proposing.
00:05:27.000 Not an exaggeration.
00:05:28.000 I'm not saying it's good policy, but if this is the state of politics where we have now, it's just.
00:05:34.000 It's a downward spiral.
00:05:36.000 It's dividends and cash payments and communism all the way down.
00:05:40.000 Yeah.
00:05:40.000 I mean, look, as far as Luke's tweet, I mean, I don't know what he's thinking because if you want to do a protest vote or not vote, that is one thing.
00:05:51.000 But voting for the Democrats guarantees more spending.
00:05:55.000 Or at the very least, that's the party that will spend more.
00:05:58.000 I know Donald Trump has spent a boatload of money.
00:06:00.000 I'm completely aware of that.
00:06:02.000 And I know that we're $40 trillion in debt.
00:06:04.000 There is no.
00:06:06.000 There's no like, I'm not looking through some kind of weird glasses or anything.
00:06:11.000 I'm fully aware of that.
00:06:12.000 But that doesn't change the fact that if the Democrats get control of Congress and the White House, obviously not this fall, the White House, but if they get control of Congress and the White House, they're going to do way more spending.
00:06:26.000 They would push through Medicaid for all.
00:06:28.000 They would push through all sorts of benefits for certain groups and stuff that'll cost way more.
00:06:33.000 Right now, our spending is the vast majority of it is on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
00:06:39.000 And Social Security doesn't just go to people that are over 65.
00:06:43.000 There are all kinds of programs that are.
00:06:45.000 Are under the Social Security banner basically.
00:06:48.000 You're talking about half the budget, right?
00:06:50.000 There are people out there that think that we spend more money on the military than we do on any kind of social services.
00:06:57.000 We have the most progressive tax system in the world.
00:07:00.000 We spend half of our budget on some kind of social services and we can't afford to spend more.
00:07:07.000 So voting for Democrats because Donald Trump is going to spend money, that's not a solution.
00:07:14.000 Protest and talk smack about Trump for spending money all you want.
00:07:17.000 Totally on board.
00:07:18.000 It's all fake.
00:07:19.000 It's all fake.
00:07:19.000 But, like, the idea that Democrats are better.
00:07:22.000 They all do it.
00:07:22.000 I never did it.
00:07:23.000 I don't like it.
00:07:24.000 No, I'm saying it's fake.
00:07:25.000 Like, Luke, I don't believe it for a second that you're considering voting for Democrats.
00:07:29.000 I'm definitely.
00:07:31.000 Let's call him right now.
00:07:32.000 I barely want to vote for Republicans.
00:07:33.000 I have no problem saying any of this.
00:07:36.000 It's a really.
00:07:37.000 The whole debate's quite banal because, like, under Trump, the budget was about $4 trillion when he got in.
00:07:43.000 And then when he left, it was $6.5 trillion.
00:07:46.000 Most of that was COVID, obviously.
00:07:47.000 But still, this idea that, like, now you're making a principled stand against Trump for blowing out the budget, it's like.
00:07:52.000 I don't know that he did it in the first term.
00:07:54.000 It's like, you haven't realized by now this is an expense.
00:07:57.000 You know, the budget never goes down, I guess is what I'm trying to get at.
00:08:00.000 So it doesn't matter.
00:08:01.000 You know, the next president's budget, whoever it may be, Democrat or Republican, is going to be higher than this budget.
00:08:05.000 It's just how it works.
00:08:06.000 Do we believe it, though?
00:08:07.000 I mean, that's the thing, like promising the five large to everybody, like whether you think it's a good idea or not, do we think it's going to happen?
00:08:14.000 He also promised in the past couple of days that the war with Iran would end after the election and that gas would be down under $2.
00:08:21.000 I mean, today I had to use my little grocery store discount.
00:08:24.000 Discount card to get 70 cents off, and it was still $3.49.
00:08:27.000 So, you know, what are we even talking about?
00:08:29.000 Like, that's the thing that drives me nuts is that a lot of the stuff Trump says.
00:08:33.000 Now, I'm not a huge fan of the, you know, $5,000.
00:08:35.000 I wasn't a big fan of Biden's COVID 2000, and I don't even remember how many 2000s he sent out.
00:08:40.000 I mean, I cashed the checks, but I, you know, I didn't like it.
00:08:44.000 Yeah.
00:08:45.000 I thought it was a bad plan because we don't even know what the interest rate on this cash necessarily is.
00:08:49.000 Like you said, it's like trillions and trillions of whatever more dollars down the road.
00:08:54.000 But that's the thing that drives me nuts is like, It turns out that the presidential promises are always fake promises, no matter who the president is.
00:09:03.000 But if that's the case, then that brings up the other problem.
00:09:06.000 So if he would do it and that's bad, so then you don't want to be a part of that.
00:09:10.000 But then if he doesn't do it, but he's lying just because, then that's another problem.
00:09:15.000 Well, is it a lie or is it something that's just not going to be able to happen?
00:09:20.000 I mean, I do think Trump's done a great job, frankly, with the immigration situation.
00:09:25.000 The border crossings are down to zero.
00:09:27.000 There's been a lot of Deportations.
00:09:29.000 You know, I'm hearing sob stories on NPR and in the New York Times every morning about people who have been deported and now their lives are messed up.
00:09:35.000 And it's like, well, you could have taken the money and the free flight home and then you could have had time to pack and you wouldn't be in this problem.
00:09:42.000 But, but I, so I think he's done a great job with that.
00:09:45.000 But, you know, there's other stuff that I'm not a fan of.
00:09:47.000 But then again, like when are you ever really a fan of the president?
00:09:52.000 Yeah.
00:09:52.000 I mean, yeah.
00:09:53.000 The bickering over the budget.
00:09:55.000 I mean, like I said earlier, it's just kind of banal because it goes up no matter what.
00:09:58.000 Yeah, but the bond market is starting to indicate that people are losing faith in the dollar.
00:10:06.000 It's at 30 year highs now or something like that.
00:10:08.000 Of that is like responding to like global pressures on the dollar right now.
00:10:13.000 Um, specifically, like Japan melting down is causing a lot of a lot of strife.
00:10:16.000 But I mean, you know, you're what you're getting five percent return on a 30 year bond.
00:10:20.000 That's not bad.
00:10:21.000 I mean, I think a lot of people are just happy with that.
00:10:22.000 I think the market is just recorrecting here, but they're trying.
00:10:24.000 But the thing is that you know, people aren't buying bonds the way they want.
00:10:28.000 The government's going to buy six billion dollars worth of its own bonds, yeah, yeah.
00:10:32.000 I mean, yeah, but they're still hitting an auction again, like five percent yields anyway.
00:10:38.000 Um, because that's like That's a fun conversation.
00:10:41.000 What did I say on this show?
00:10:43.000 You guys remember?
00:10:44.000 I said the Republicans are offering nothing.
00:10:46.000 Trump should offer an Iran war dividend.
00:10:48.000 He should say that due to the spoils of the war and the oil.
00:10:52.000 With Venezuela, too, throw that in.
00:10:54.000 Exactly.
00:10:55.000 This is what I said he should do a couple weeks ago.
00:10:57.000 He's coming out right now.
00:10:59.000 And I love when he's like, due to the unprecedented economic, it's never been so good.
00:11:03.000 It's not really that good at all.
00:11:04.000 But he's saying it anyway.
00:11:06.000 This is the point I made on my show today that's not convincing because everyone knows the economy is doing pretty poorly right now.
00:11:13.000 What he should have done is pegged it to like a seminal campaign goal that maybe isn't as popular.
00:11:18.000 So he could have said, This is the mass deportations dividend, or this is the tariff dividend, because those are two policies that absolutely need to get pushed across the finish line, but are, you know, it's tough to get Republicans to play ball on it, let alone Democrats.
00:11:31.000 So if he would have pegged the five grand, put it in the American psyche, I'm getting five grand, and it says in your bank statement, the mass deportation dividend, that does a lot for you.
00:11:40.000 And it can like curry, again, like 5% support in the polls, which does matter, because like polling on these issues does dictate how a lot of certainly.
00:11:47.000 Reps vote. 0.93
00:11:48.000 What about like the dividend for this is all the money we're saving on rental subsidies after we've ejected all the temporary protected status Haitians from Springfield? 1.00
00:11:56.000 Yeah, that would have been awesome. 1.00
00:11:57.000 Like, and that should be like a recur.
00:11:59.000 They should like create it, create like a Norway style like fund.
00:12:02.000 And any money that we save that we are spending on like migrants or whatever, we just throw it in that slush fund.
00:12:08.000 Any revenue we're gaining from the tariffs at the federal level, throw it in that slush fund and just distribute it like every month to like net taxpayers.
00:12:14.000 That'd be that's just genius.
00:12:16.000 That's how you like build.
00:12:18.000 Loyalty with maybe a little bit less leaned in, tapped in voters.
00:12:22.000 Instead, doing like five grand to be like, because the economy is doing so well.
00:12:24.000 Everyone's like, what?
00:12:26.000 We probably wouldn't be handing out five grand if it was like a rock star economy.
00:12:30.000 So, yeah, I mean, like people are freaking out over the budget.
00:12:33.000 And it's like, dude, I mean, if you're just finding out now that Trump tends to spend a lot of money, I don't know what to tell you.
00:12:37.000 Because like the first term, again, I remember this talking point was coming from a lot of like neocons.
00:12:41.000 It's like Trump is like blowing the budget out.
00:12:44.000 Again, since 2016, the budget's gone up.
00:12:47.000 It's nearly doubled.
00:12:47.000 It's like nine, it's up like 90%.
00:12:50.000 CPI is only up like what 40% since 2016.
00:12:52.000 So, I mean, yeah, it's not like we're in the era of Reagan economics anymore.
00:12:57.000 I think people just need to kind of give that up.
00:12:59.000 But if you're using again, if you're someone that like doesn't really care about this issue until today, you're probably just using it as a way to have another reason to complain about Trump.
00:13:06.000 Was Reagan actually good economically or was Carter just really, really bad?
00:13:10.000 Carter was terrible.
00:13:11.000 I mean, there was this thing I remember because I got commissioned to write a play about inspired by it where he went on TV and he told everybody, yeah, fuel prices are high, just put on a sweater.
00:13:22.000 Terrible idea.
00:13:23.000 Yes, my car runs on warmth.
00:13:25.000 And good intentions.
00:13:25.000 Yes.
00:13:26.000 Wool and sheep's wool.
00:13:27.000 Yeah.
00:13:29.000 Put that through the engine.
00:13:30.000 But it's all just, it's all relative.
00:13:32.000 I think it is all relative.
00:13:34.000 But there were gas lines.
00:13:35.000 We haven't seen gas lines.
00:13:36.000 We don't have bread lines. 1.00
00:13:37.000 That's what Mamdani will usher in. 1.00
00:13:40.000 Yeah.
00:13:40.000 I mean, they love him, though.
00:13:42.000 He's polling really well.
00:13:43.000 Who, Jumper, Mamdani? 1.00
00:13:44.000 Oh, yeah, for sure. 0.97
00:13:44.000 Mamdani. 0.97
00:13:46.000 He's polling really well because polling is largely about are you striking at a symbol that people feel oppresses them?
00:13:53.000 So it's demagoguery.
00:13:57.000 You go to people and say, What are you mad at? 0.97
00:13:59.000 And they're like, White people. 0.59
00:14:00.000 And he's like, Yeah, you know, oh, geez. 0.95
00:14:02.000 And then everyone's like, Yeah, I like it.
00:14:03.000 He said a thing I like.
00:14:04.000 And whether or not he does something, it doesn't even matter.
00:14:06.000 And that would definitely be interesting when you look at vaccines, like what they're dropping the vaccine count from 72 to 11.
00:14:14.000 For those that are hesitant or cautious, that was a big win for that community, which is a lot of America now.
00:14:23.000 There's been a ton of things that you can classify as big wins from Donald Trump.
00:14:28.000 The problem is the midterms are in a couple months, what is it, 55 days or whatever, something like that, and diesel in California is $10 a gallon.
00:14:37.000 Like people.
00:14:39.000 Vote on the price of gas and the cost of groceries.
00:14:42.000 All the other stuff is actually pretty tertiary.
00:14:46.000 People were okay or voted for deportations because they believed that it was going to bring prices down, not like largely because they believed that, look, this is actually going to make it easier for me to survive.
00:14:56.000 People vote on kitchen table issues.
00:14:58.000 No matter how much people want to say that it's other stuff, if you feel like your streets are safe, your dollar buys you enough stuff, and your gas doesn't cost too much.
00:15:10.000 You'll vote the party that's in power back into power.
00:15:13.000 That's just the way people vote.
00:15:15.000 They don't have these big political theories behind how they're voting.
00:15:20.000 They're like, oh my God, gas costs, blah, blah, blah.
00:15:23.000 I'm voting for the other guy.
00:15:24.000 Yeah.
00:15:25.000 I mean, and every single candidate, no matter the political party, comes out and says it's time for change.
00:15:30.000 And the only thing I can ever think is like, what do you want to change to what?
00:15:30.000 Yeah.
00:15:35.000 Like, change what to what?
00:15:36.000 That's always my question.
00:15:37.000 But it's really just change feeling crappy about things to feeling reasonably okay about things.
00:15:43.000 Yeah.
00:15:44.000 It is.
00:15:45.000 It's as much as we talk about, you know, nuanced issues or talk about, you know, whatever's happening politically and stuff, people care about their immediate family.
00:15:57.000 They care about their kids.
00:15:58.000 They care about their community.
00:15:59.000 And when I say their community, the people that are immediately around them, even people in big cities, care about, you know, what's it like on the block that I live on?
00:16:08.000 And, you know, there's the store down the street.
00:16:11.000 Can I buy the stuff I need?
00:16:12.000 I remember having a wild conversation with, well, Wild conversation with my city councilman in Brooklyn years ago during COVID.
00:16:19.000 And there were all these reports coming in about how the Department of Sanitation had stopped collecting trash in a number of neighborhoods.
00:16:26.000 And I called him and I was like, Is that what's going on?
00:16:28.000 And he was like, No, because of budget cuts, the Department of Sanitation has cut back on some collections.
00:16:35.000 And a lot of city councilmen can use their discretionary budget to keep them collecting.
00:16:41.000 And I said, Yeah, because I'm not seeing that in our neighborhood.
00:16:43.000 And he said, Yeah, I'm using my discretionary budget to have them come clear the corner baskets.
00:16:48.000 And a lot of city council persons weren't doing that because they didn't think their constituency cared.
00:16:53.000 And he knew that his constituency did care.
00:16:55.000 And that's why he kept getting elected.
00:16:57.000 Even though he was like a commie, he kept the streets clean.
00:17:00.000 Yeah.
00:17:01.000 I mean, good.
00:17:02.000 Thanks, Phil.
00:17:02.000 Oh, yeah.
00:17:03.000 This point that I'm talking about, tethering into what you guys are talking about, about like what the people, what we really need is like, you know, if you don't have your health, you have nothing.
00:17:13.000 Like the saying, if you have your health, you have a thousand dreams.
00:17:16.000 If you don't have your health, you have one.
00:17:18.000 And if there's something that is holding, You know, the fate of humanity and the balance, and whether our kids are sick or adults, whether we're sick or whether we're well, it's such a linchpin.
00:17:29.000 And so, love him or hate him, like a lot of the community that have been feeling like in such an unfair situation, like I don't want to give all my child all these vaccines.
00:17:39.000 And they've been begging for freedom on this issue so they can have the discretion to choose, but then felt bullied into it, like restricted from what schools they could go to, whether those exemptions can be granted to them.
00:17:51.000 And it's been quite hellish for a lot of people, and people have been through a lot, and then they get gaslit.
00:17:55.000 This wasn't what caused the issue, this lifelong health condition that this child now has.
00:17:59.000 No, it wasn't us.
00:18:01.000 Oh, we don't know what causes that.
00:18:02.000 We're not going to.
00:18:04.000 And these companies are cooking the books, the serial felons, like the vaccine companies that were tasked with the COVID vaccine had over $30 billion in criminal fines.
00:18:15.000 Really?
00:18:15.000 Look that up.
00:18:17.000 From the COVID stuff?
00:18:18.000 Before that.
00:18:19.000 Oh, I see.
00:18:20.000 Pfizer had the largest criminal settlement in history at $3.2 billion through the Department of Justice.
00:18:27.000 What did they do wrong?
00:18:27.000 What was it for?
00:18:28.000 It was for having their products kill people and them, sorry, having their products, well, that wasn't a vaccine, right?
00:18:37.000 That was a drug.
00:18:39.000 And anyway, it was.
00:18:42.000 And Moderna, it was because they cooked the books with the clinical trial data.
00:18:46.000 So these were all different issues that were so bad that blurred judgment and doctors' abilities to do what they did best, which was to treat their patients versus get marching orders from a pharmaceutical company and then have to push that agenda, no matter what the unique composition of that child was.
00:19:06.000 Interesting.
00:19:08.000 Yeah.
00:19:08.000 I mean, the.
00:19:11.000 I don't know.
00:19:13.000 The frustrations with Trump, it bothers me because of all of the actual, like, tangible success that he's had, but because of the fact that, like I said, we're, you know, two months away from the midterms. 0.54
00:19:28.000 You've got this Iran war that nobody wanted, nobody likes, and it's dragging on.
00:19:34.000 It's almost six months now, or what have you.
00:19:38.000 It's an unpopular war.
00:19:39.000 The American people were very clear they didn't want to go to war in the Middle East again, and they.
00:19:45.000 Elected Trump thinking, hey, he's not going to take us into war.
00:19:49.000 And here we are.
00:19:49.000 Now, granted, this is, you know, it's not the Iraq war again, but you've still got, you know, a boatload of bombs being dropped on Iran.
00:20:00.000 And people are completely and totally allergic to wars in the Middle East now.
00:20:04.000 So, you know, I can see why.
00:20:07.000 The Republicans are in a really bad spot.
00:20:10.000 And I don't see them, you know, I don't see them pulling out before the midterms.
00:20:14.000 I don't.
00:20:16.000 I don't know.
00:20:16.000 It's hard to predict what's going to happen because it seems like just nobody really cares anymore.
00:20:22.000 I mean, about most things, right?
00:20:26.000 So it's no secret that social media viewership has been down across the board across all genres.
00:20:33.000 And I know everyone likes to attack Ben Shapiro or they'll comment on our show or whatever because they're like, haha, your views are down or whatever.
00:20:39.000 But it's every genre.
00:20:41.000 Like the poker show, let's just do this.
00:20:43.000 Like, you guys might watch football, whatever.
00:20:45.000 I watch poker.
00:20:47.000 The World Series got half a million viewers.
00:20:49.000 Yeah.
00:20:50.000 Two million last year.
00:20:51.000 No one's watching anything.
00:20:51.000 Yeah.
00:20:54.000 Everyone is checked out, or maybe they're all enraptured, I guess.
00:20:58.000 I don't know.
00:20:59.000 I think people are getting pushed back into like legacy streaming services and like sports.
00:21:04.000 What did I say in 2024?
00:21:06.000 That's exactly what I said the plan was.
00:21:09.000 Yeah.
00:21:09.000 Yeah.
00:21:09.000 Well, it's working.
00:21:10.000 I mean, because it seems like, I mean, movies, you know, like what, three years ago, everyone was eulogizing the movie theater, and now they're like shattering box office records.
00:21:18.000 The biggest movie ever made, ever was Spider Man.
00:21:21.000 Yeah, this is the biggest.
00:21:22.000 This is the biggest.
00:21:22.000 Oh, that was a great summer ever.
00:21:24.000 It's the highest grossing film ever.
00:21:25.000 What, over three billion?
00:21:26.000 Yeah.
00:21:27.000 It's two something.
00:21:28.000 Awesome.
00:21:29.000 And it's still going.
00:21:29.000 Yeah.
00:21:30.000 Already.
00:21:30.000 It's still going.
00:21:31.000 You would go back, you know, three years ago and the Atlantic would have pieces out like, it's going to, when the movie theaters are gone, we're really going to miss some guys.
00:21:36.000 And then, yeah, here we are.
00:21:37.000 And now, like, Hollywood's back.
00:21:39.000 Legacy streaming, huge.
00:21:41.000 I mean, these guys are posting up monster numbers.
00:21:43.000 You can go look at their quarterlys.
00:21:45.000 They're crushing.
00:21:47.000 And then sports have never been bigger.
00:21:48.000 You could attribute some of that to sports betting.
00:21:49.000 But anecdotally, most of the.
00:21:51.000 But sports is down too.
00:21:54.000 As far as I understand it, the NFL and NBA, the NBA is down a little bit, like the NFL and the MLB.
00:21:59.000 The MLB is roared back, which is quite shocking.
00:22:01.000 And just anecdotally speaking, most of my friends are sports guys, and everyone's kind of tapped back into a lot of the storylines this year.
00:22:08.000 Soccer's really growing quite quickly.
00:22:10.000 Well, body camera footage and police brutality videos are a guaranteed path towards making money, that's for sure.
00:22:14.000 Oh, yeah.
00:22:15.000 I mean, Twitter now is just OnlyFans, fights.
00:22:17.000 No, Netflix's quarter two was disappointing.
00:22:20.000 Revenue was good, it was up, but it was a miss versus their consensus.
00:22:25.000 Net income did rise, but growth came from price increases.
00:22:30.000 I would imagine Netflix is probably the worst performing legacy streaming service at this point.
00:22:34.000 I would assume, like, Probably Prime, and I assume Prime's probably doing the best right now.
00:22:40.000 You know, Apple TV is interesting.
00:22:42.000 Yeah, because you have to pay for it even after you subscribe, right?
00:22:45.000 Apple TV?
00:22:46.000 Yeah, that's what my experience was.
00:22:48.000 Oh, I just had to subscribe.
00:22:50.000 But the shows they have are the only ones that make me keep coming back to, you know, like I'll see an Apple TV show and I'll be like, oh, I'll subscribe for another month.
00:22:59.000 I also watched Silo, and I watched Silo was really fun.
00:23:03.000 Widow's Bay was fun.
00:23:04.000 And these are things, and Brand New Day also.
00:23:07.000 To go back to Spider Man.
00:23:08.000 These are all really escapist.
00:23:09.000 It's going to go to Netflix first.
00:23:10.000 What?
00:23:11.000 Yeah.
00:23:11.000 It's going to go to Netflix first.
00:23:12.000 Sure.
00:23:12.000 Spider Man?
00:23:13.000 Brand new day.
00:23:14.000 Sony.
00:23:15.000 Interesting.
00:23:16.000 But it's all very escapist.
00:23:18.000 All the content that people are really gravitating towards is escapist.
00:23:21.000 And it's not escapist with a lot of political messaging.
00:23:24.000 One of the great things about Spider Man, Brand New Day, was it had zero woke messaging.
00:23:30.000 Yeah.
00:23:31.000 It was just fun to watch.
00:23:32.000 I went with my son and we had so much fun.
00:23:36.000 Yeah.
00:23:36.000 I think there's a lot of things there.
00:23:38.000 I mean, first two, I think part of the reason, like, I don't know, I'm just.
00:23:41.000 Speaking for myself here, but anecdotally, it seems like pretty much everyone I know has pushed back in streaming service, back into sports.
00:23:47.000 I think a reason why some of this isn't showing up in the numbers is I think people are more equipped than ever to like pirate content.
00:23:54.000 I think that's like what's going on.
00:23:56.000 People, like everyone knows how to pirate movies and television shows now.
00:23:59.000 And you can tell that this is a problem because you can't like get Chromecast, you can't cast to your screen anymore from like any web player.
00:24:05.000 They've changed it now where you can't just cast from any old web player.
00:24:08.000 So I think like these streaming services and everyone are quite aware that piracy is becoming a huge problem.
00:24:15.000 This is pretty wild.
00:24:17.000 Tate, you're basically spot on with your analysis about streaming services.
00:24:21.000 Streaming services are doing really well.
00:24:23.000 Yeah.
00:24:24.000 Everybody's down right now, but they're standing out.
00:24:28.000 TV hit an all time low.
00:24:32.000 Basically, everything is down.
00:24:35.000 Here's what's really funny YouTube TV is actually dominating.
00:24:39.000 Yeah, my brother's got that.
00:24:41.000 I mean, we watch it, we've got it in the other room, and we'll have like the multi view.
00:24:46.000 It'll be like Fox, CNN, MS Now, and some sporting event.
00:24:51.000 It's like the only one where you don't feel like you're getting totally ripped off because you get so many channels.
00:24:55.000 And they have like channels on there that are like replaying shows.
00:24:57.000 Like I go and watch the Top Gear channel like all day long.
00:24:59.000 Really?
00:25:00.000 This is wild.
00:25:00.000 Yeah, it's all TV.
00:25:01.000 I've just been reading.
00:25:02.000 Yeah, TV, cable are completely dead.
00:25:05.000 I've been very down on all content.
00:25:07.000 Streaming services gained 2%.
00:25:11.000 So they're beating out everybody else.
00:25:13.000 Yeah, you can tell cable's dead because these sports leagues or whatever, when they're entering their.
00:25:20.000 Broadcasting rights negotiations.
00:25:23.000 It's shorts.
00:25:24.000 The focus is primarily on streaming.
00:25:26.000 Like the MLS, not the biggest league in the world, but they were negotiating for a new cable deal, and Apple TV got exclusive rights.
00:25:33.000 It's shorts.
00:25:34.000 It's saying that viewership has dramatically shifted to the carousel.
00:25:38.000 TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube shorts are dominating viewership.
00:25:43.000 Even viewership one for one.
00:25:44.000 Like YouTube said, they're changing the way they count views to be a single second.
00:25:48.000 It used to be like at least 30 seconds of view because they didn't want people gaming the system.
00:25:52.000 But now that every single platform is like the moment you watch for any amount of time, it's a view.
00:25:57.000 YouTube fell in line, but YouTube shorts were always this way.
00:26:00.000 So I got to tell you, like, I've got a handful of, we didn't do shorts for a year because it just seemed like it's not fruitful.
00:26:11.000 I do a 20 minute video in the morning, I can make $1,000 off that one 20 minute show.
00:26:16.000 But now that viewership in long form is dying, you still do make more money from people who watch long form, but most people are watching short form now and it's shifting over.
00:26:27.000 I did two shorts and I got half a million views on each of them.
00:26:30.000 And it took me like literally three minutes to make the short.
00:26:33.000 I just picked up the phone, said some things, commented on a clip.
00:26:37.000 It's a minute and a half long, and it made 80 bucks.
00:26:40.000 So I'm like, okay, I can record for 20 minutes, maybe do 1,000, but if I can do seven videos, seven shorts, and just spam up and blast them out, then it's comparable.
00:26:52.000 You get one banger plus a bunch of small ones.
00:26:55.000 So I think this is fairly obvious.
00:26:57.000 Most people have seen this coming that it's the carousel, it's Facebook.
00:27:01.000 It's Instagram, it's TikTok, even X is doing this now.
00:27:05.000 This is what they all want.
00:27:06.000 So I just got accepted to the X Creators Program.
00:27:09.000 Oh, it's a very new thing.
00:27:11.000 Yeah.
00:27:12.000 And this is going to be wild.
00:27:13.000 I'll tell you why.
00:27:15.000 So the last paycheck I got from X was $6,300 for two weeks.
00:27:22.000 I've got 3 million followers.
00:27:24.000 So you might think that's actually a very small amount of money for the 300 million impressions that I'm getting on X. All it takes is looking at their troll tweets to.
00:27:36.000 To understand why.
00:27:37.000 Well, so the way the old system worked is that it was how many replies you got because people were then creating this massive thread and ads would appear there.
00:27:46.000 So it would create more viewership in the thread.
00:27:49.000 And so I had a couple posts over Labor Day that got like 2 million views where I said, you know, if you could press a button, that would kill somebody, but you'd get a million bucks.
00:27:56.000 That got like 7,000 or 8,000 replies in quotes.
00:27:58.000 The new system is based on original content.
00:28:00.000 Now, here's the thing let's say there's $100 in the pool every month.
00:28:07.000 There's 100 people getting access to that pool.
00:28:11.000 Everybody gets a dollar.
00:28:13.000 That's it.
00:28:14.000 If you post 10 times as much, you're going to get $10 out of the 100, and someone's going to get a single cent.
00:28:14.000 Right?
00:28:20.000 Andrew Yang would post how he's like, I made 300 bucks.
00:28:23.000 Hey, I'm going to give it away.
00:28:24.000 Here's what gets crazy everybody was basically in that rev share program.
00:28:31.000 It didn't matter what you were doing, you could just quote tweet somebody or re upload someone else's video.
00:28:36.000 The new rules are, That doesn't fly anymore.
00:28:38.000 Yeah, there was content theft.
00:28:40.000 Some dude went viral because he was like, I was rejected from the program.
00:28:44.000 And he was like, I add insightful commentary to tons of videos.
00:28:48.000 And so he quote tweets other posts with commentary.
00:28:51.000 That's not bad, but that's not what X wants.
00:28:54.000 They want video content, they want original content.
00:28:56.000 We're streaming right now to X for the X audience.
00:29:00.000 Now imagine this $100 to 100 people.
00:29:04.000 Then Elon comes in and says, 90 of you aren't actually doing anything and you're all removed from the program.
00:29:09.000 Now, guess what?
00:29:11.000 There's $100 for 10 people.
00:29:13.000 So, based on the estimates, we don't know the exact ratio, but I got to be honest.
00:29:19.000 Some of the people I've talked to who work in social media are like, they are excising some 80% of people who would normally be in this monetization program.
00:29:28.000 That means you're going to see a 5X increase in the amount of money you're getting if you're producing original content.
00:29:34.000 Well, are you or are a lot of the people who are participating on X going to drift away and go to some other platform where they can monetize?
00:29:42.000 Nope, this is the point.
00:29:44.000 I think what X realized is that Andrew Yang is not motivated by getting $300.
00:29:48.000 It's pointless.
00:29:49.000 What motivates people to be influencers is when they find out someone on YouTube is a millionaire.
00:29:54.000 But nobody was being a millionaire.
00:29:56.000 Look, I posted that I was like, I got paid $10,000 in one period, and I'm like, let's go.
00:30:02.000 And the replies were anger.
00:30:05.000 Well, don't get me wrong, it's always anger.
00:30:07.000 But it was critique.
00:30:08.000 People were saying, you have 3 million followers and you got 250 million impressions.
00:30:15.000 You made 10 grand.
00:30:16.000 Not worth it.
00:30:17.000 Wow, yeah.
00:30:18.000 So there's no light at the end of the tunnel because it was effectively communism, right?
00:30:22.000 Not literally, but it's a decentralized monetization system where.
00:30:26.000 If everybody can get it for the most minimal amount of work, including people in India commenting on each other's posts to just steal money from the system, no one's making meaningful money.
00:30:35.000 So it doesn't seem like a viable platform.
00:30:38.000 With this move, and I think the reason they did it, if I'm getting a standard 1% share of the pool, they eliminate 9% of people.
00:30:48.000 So now I'm getting a 10% share.
00:30:50.000 Let's just say I'm getting a 5X return $6,000 was my last check.
00:30:53.000 It'll be $30,000.
00:30:55.000 Imagine what happens when I'm posting, like, oh, yeah, we do $60,000 to $80,000 per month posting on X.
00:31:00.000 Then people are going to be like, whoa, X is where we want to be.
00:31:04.000 Why?
00:31:05.000 Instagram pays zero.
00:31:07.000 YouTube Shorts, like I said, 400,000 views, 80 bucks.
00:31:11.000 When X comes out and says, we have X money, direct deposit into your X account, pay through X, and we pay more than everybody else, I think that's Elon's plan.
00:31:21.000 I think he's saying we're going to get rid of the low quality content, which is just comments and questions.
00:31:27.000 What did we see with the monetization?
00:31:28.000 People posting things like, When you have breakfast, do you put maple syrup or do you like high fructose corn syrup products? 0.97
00:31:35.000 They were doing stupid things like that to generate engagement that nobody wanted to interact with. 0.94
00:31:39.000 It's like the early days of Facebook when there would be Facebook groups about the cold side of the pillow. 0.99
00:31:44.000 Indeed.
00:31:45.000 So now, in order to get in the new program, you can't repost stuff.
00:31:49.000 You need original video content, you need original content, articles, and we post that.
00:31:54.000 So I think what's going to end up happening is everybody who runs a show is going to see a massive revenue increase.
00:32:00.000 Another way to put it is, We have a company here.
00:32:03.000 We have staff.
00:32:04.000 We have a studio.
00:32:05.000 It costs a lot of money.
00:32:06.000 So we put a lot into research, production, guests, travel, and accommodation.
00:32:11.000 Thank you.
00:32:12.000 Absolutely.
00:32:13.000 We are producing something for these platforms that is higher level.
00:32:17.000 The old monetization system was basically telling everyone anyone can post anything and get paid.
00:32:23.000 I think the idea they had at first was this will work because people will say it's easier to get some money off X than other platforms.
00:32:30.000 Well, and also Elon Musk said, You are the journalists now.
00:32:33.000 It didn't work.
00:32:34.000 People were posting slop content, commenting generic things on each other's platforms, not making videos, not writing articles.
00:32:39.000 And they said, maybe we need higher quality content.
00:32:44.000 YouTube did this too 10 years ago, 13 years ago.
00:32:47.000 I think it is going to be massive for people who post on X.
00:32:51.000 I think you're going to start seeing monetization rivaling or beating YouTube.
00:32:56.000 I'm excited.
00:32:59.000 That's beautiful.
00:32:59.000 Yeah.
00:33:00.000 Let's see how it goes.
00:33:01.000 I have not applied for it yet.
00:33:03.000 I did.
00:33:04.000 And the reason I didn't is because when it offered me like the tweets to suggest, it was like all clips from trials last week.
00:33:11.000 Yeah.
00:33:11.000 Well, one thing we need to do, Phil, is you should make your own clips from this show, especially.
00:33:17.000 Yeah.
00:33:18.000 Because most of the clips are like me monologuing or responding to somebody.
00:33:22.000 Y'all have your moments on this show.
00:33:24.000 That's what I do.
00:33:25.000 You should be.
00:33:25.000 I tag you guys.
00:33:26.000 Exactly.
00:33:27.000 Do you remember last week we did the Lindsey Clancy oubliette?
00:33:27.000 I did the.
00:33:31.000 I clipped that.
00:33:31.000 Yeah.
00:33:32.000 It was like 20 seconds of us all being like, yes, double oubliettes.
00:33:36.000 And then Carter, double oubliette.
00:33:39.000 I'm like doomed because I have like, when I hear my voice played back, I have like a panic attack.
00:33:43.000 Just don't listen.
00:33:43.000 I hate it.
00:33:44.000 I know what you mean.
00:33:45.000 I don't watch a lot of my stuff.
00:33:46.000 Johnny Depp would never watch these movies.
00:33:46.000 Yeah.
00:33:48.000 And like half of my takes just like suck.
00:33:49.000 So I'll like watch it back and like, what am I talking about?
00:33:53.000 Yeah, just don't watch it.
00:33:54.000 Don't read the comments.
00:33:55.000 Just keep going.
00:33:57.000 But thank you for thinking of everyone.
00:33:58.000 I love that about you.
00:33:59.000 You're just thinking about people succeeding, right?
00:34:02.000 And that's what we want.
00:34:02.000 We want everyone to succeed and be able to have a good play and a good game.
00:34:07.000 By the way, I just had a baby on Saturday night.
00:34:11.000 Okay, congratulations.
00:34:12.000 Congrats, man.
00:34:12.000 And then when you're a dad, right, you just think about how do my children succeed in this world?
00:34:17.000 What platforms are here for them?
00:34:19.000 How do they have a great life ahead of them?
00:34:22.000 And yeah, so it's awesome looking for opportunities for everyone listening.
00:34:26.000 There's so many ways to, like, Make a great living doing what you love.
00:34:29.000 And we live in that time.
00:34:32.000 There's a picture.
00:34:35.000 This was Lifetime there.
00:34:37.000 Oh, look at that.
00:34:39.000 Oh, nice.
00:34:40.000 Wow.
00:34:42.000 Congratulations.
00:34:43.000 You know what?
00:34:44.000 That's your thing, right?
00:34:46.000 Yeah.
00:34:47.000 It was on a carousel.
00:34:49.000 Yeah.
00:34:49.000 But yeah, all the emotions right there.
00:34:49.000 There you go.
00:34:52.000 It's wild.
00:34:52.000 Yeah.
00:34:53.000 Yeah.
00:34:54.000 I just had my first, and he's going to be a year old in October.
00:34:57.000 So.
00:34:58.000 It's, uh, I'm an old guy for having a kid, but it's definitely like the reason we're here, man.
00:35:04.000 It really is, you know.
00:35:05.000 My son just got his learner's permit.
00:35:07.000 Yeah.
00:35:08.000 That's great.
00:35:09.000 He's 16.
00:35:10.000 He tolerates you now.
00:35:12.000 Oh, he, you know, I would say I, you know, knocking on the wood here.
00:35:17.000 I think I have a pretty good relationship with my son and his good relationship with his dad.
00:35:22.000 And I'm really proud of him.
00:35:24.000 And I think he's the greatest person in the whole world.
00:35:26.000 That's what you want to hear.
00:35:27.000 That's, that's really like the goal is to like, Not just obviously you're going to love your kids, but you want to be, you want to like your kids too.
00:35:36.000 I think that's important.
00:35:36.000 Like you want to raise a kid that you want to hang out with.
00:35:39.000 Yeah.
00:35:39.000 And I remember when he was little, you know, because kids will throw tantrums and stuff.
00:35:43.000 Oh, yeah.
00:35:43.000 And I remember just thinking, like, just get them laughing.
00:35:47.000 And I thought to myself, if I can just keep them laughing, I think we'll be okay.
00:35:50.000 Yeah.
00:35:50.000 And I still, I still keep them laughing.
00:35:52.000 Today, though, I was working on something and I didn't, I was having trouble with it.
00:35:56.000 And he came in and helped me out.
00:35:58.000 And he explained, like, I was writing a story about, This horrible Kirk Aversary stuff.
00:36:04.000 And I was like, Charlie, have you seen this?
00:36:06.000 You know, talking about it.
00:36:09.000 And yeah, he explained the whole thing to me.
00:36:13.000 The whole morbid.
00:36:14.000 The entire thing.
00:36:15.000 Well, because he's this Gen Z person and he knows online and he has these friends and they know things.
00:36:24.000 I remember being a kid thinking about my older childless aunts and stuff.
00:36:30.000 And I would think, How do you even know what's going on in the world?
00:36:33.000 And now I'm their age, and I'm like, yeah, I would have no idea what's going on in the world if I didn't have a kid.
00:36:39.000 You know, I have no idea.
00:36:41.000 Yeah.
00:36:42.000 I do feel like because of where I spend most of my time and who I spend most of my time with, it's kept me younger.
00:36:52.000 Yeah, but you still, I mean, I think there's something to be said for having someone who can tell you about teen culture while being a little dismissive for sure, but not entirely.
00:37:06.000 You were talking about the Kirk Aversary before the show started.
00:37:09.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:37:11.000 We were talking about the Kirk Aversary.
00:37:13.000 I was talking to Jack Basobic about it today as well.
00:37:16.000 And I wrote about it.
00:37:18.000 I was a little late zooming in.
00:37:20.000 The audience can't see that, but I zoomed in right before the show started because I was finishing up this story before I came to the studio.
00:37:27.000 Yeah, so this Kirk Aversary, people are celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder.
00:37:33.000 They're celebrating his death.
00:37:35.000 They're doing all kinds of things about that, but they're also just.
00:37:39.000 Completely memifying him, turning him into a goofy thing, putting his face on all kinds of things that don't make any sense.
00:37:47.000 They're kirking each other as a joke, which is kind of like, you know, putting your finger on your friend's neck and then your friend pretends that they've just been shot.
00:37:57.000 They're celebrating the, you know, accused killer who. 0.92
00:38:03.000 I want to stress this, though, about the kirking their friends. 0.94
00:38:07.000 If they don't understand, if it's not intended as a gloating over Charlie's death, it's just a youthful trivialization and ignorance, I'm not really mad about it. 0.93
00:38:17.000 What I'm mad about is political individuals who are advocating for murder and death doing it.
00:38:22.000 As a sign of intimidation and antagonism. 0.99
00:38:24.000 Like when I see little kids running around saying stupid words or whatever, I'm not thinking like, you know, like if you go to a skate park and you hear kids dropping N bombs left and right and they do, I'm not sitting there being like, oh, those racist kids. 0.99
00:38:35.000 I'm like, oh, they're kids, man. 0.99
00:38:36.000 I think it's more, I think it more speaks to the normalization of political violence.
00:38:43.000 The human race.
00:38:44.000 Well, they've normalized it so much that kids are looking at it like a joke.
00:38:47.000 Yeah.
00:38:47.000 I mean, and if you look to, there was some TikToker who was talking about how it was the inversion of the Luigi Mangioni thing.
00:38:54.000 So, Mangione, you know, charged with shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood in broad daylight in the street of New York.
00:39:06.000 And media was like, oh, he's a killer.
00:39:09.000 And everybody was like, no, celebrate. 0.74
00:39:11.000 He's a great guy.
00:39:12.000 And then with Charlie Kirk, you know, people were talking about how terrible it was that he was murdered.
00:39:18.000 And then, you know, this outcry comes that they're happy about it.
00:39:22.000 So I think that there's definitely, like you say, I think there's the two levels to it.
00:39:26.000 I think there's the, Sort of pop culture messing around thing, which actually exemplifies how normalized this kind of violence has become.
00:39:35.000 And then there's the Antifa accounts who are, you know, talking about, I, why don't I have a Kirkentine on this Kirkiversary to celebrate with me?
00:39:44.000 That's so, man, so gross. 0.96
00:39:47.000 It's pretty disgusting. 0.85
00:39:49.000 I mean, look, I understand that kids are, you know, kids are going to do edgy, you know, things and stuff.
00:39:55.000 I get it.
00:39:57.000 And I think that obviously because we knew Charlie, it was.
00:40:01.000 You know, it's a different thing.
00:40:04.000 But yeah, it's just gross.
00:40:08.000 Yeah, people should not make anyone's death trivial, right?
00:40:14.000 Even after, and this is a surreal concept, but it was James Dobson that went in and did the interview with Ted Bundy just before he was executed.
00:40:23.000 And in the interview, you'll see the lights flicker because the electric chair is getting tested while the interview is happening.
00:40:30.000 And then he gets executed.
00:40:32.000 And then when the Hearst.
00:40:34.000 Was driving out, then they had like, uh, like mock, um, you know, inflatable body of like, you know, uh, a replica of Ted Bundy that they were dragging around and kicking around.
00:40:47.000 And and and James Dobson, a Christian radio host, just said this was truly a sad thing to see even humans react this way, even to somebody that everyone would agree was very evil and very wicked.
00:41:02.000 And but like, you just have to think of.
00:41:04.000 Um, you know, if there is a God, which I believe there is, God would never celebrate any one of his children dying, whether it was someone that was deemed as the wickedest or the greatest, most righteous among us.
00:41:16.000 And to me, like, once we can elevate to that point where we just simply would never wish death on anyone and never celebrate these things and instead just treat all life as sacred, then there would be less reason.
00:41:26.000 Like, no one would ever have a reason.
00:41:28.000 Well, you didn't agree with him.
00:41:29.000 I don't care if you agree with him or don't agree with him.
00:41:31.000 He's a person, he's a human being, and we need to let alone people that did stand for things that matter.
00:41:37.000 And then now we're talking about, like, then it's even worse again.
00:41:37.000 Right?
00:41:41.000 Now you're opposing somebody that had something to say that was important, that had value for society.
00:41:46.000 That's the most debasing thing, then.
00:41:48.000 You've got a real elevation and celebration of depravity at that point.
00:41:52.000 Yeah, I mean, but we see celebration of depravity on virtually every level of society about countless different things.
00:42:00.000 I think we're in a depraved culture.
00:42:03.000 We also saw the, you know, and this is something I looked at a lot of articles today about this whole memification of Charlie and his, you know, and his.
00:42:14.000 His likeness.
00:42:15.000 And a lot of the articles that I looked at were talking about how, in the wake of Charlie's murder last year, there were a lot of accounts, like conservative activist accounts online, trying to get people fired for having said negative things about Charlie on their social media following his killing.
00:42:36.000 And I remember thinking at the time, like, this is not the greatest thing.
00:42:40.000 Like, do I approve of what people are saying on social media?
00:42:43.000 No, not at all.
00:42:44.000 Do I think that they should be.
00:42:47.000 Perhaps.
00:42:48.000 Should we be calling for them to be fired?
00:42:50.000 Like, people get to have jobs, you know?
00:42:52.000 So, I wasn't a huge fan of that.
00:42:55.000 I wasn't a huge fan of people getting fired because they were not pro BLM or pro trans or because they wouldn't get the COVID shot or any of the other things.
00:43:06.000 So, I.
00:43:06.000 It's a big problem.
00:43:07.000 Yeah.
00:43:08.000 So, I do think that there was a little bit of a reaction against that, you know, movement to get people fired because they said nasty things about Charlie.
00:43:18.000 We also saw it happen after.
00:43:20.000 President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:43:23.000 There was this effort to get people fired.
00:43:27.000 And I do wish that there was, I wish that we had more of a civil society, you know?
00:43:34.000 And I look back and I wonder if it's just my memory is faulty or, and we did have, you know, where I think like, oh, we did have a civil society, you know, like under the Warren Court, things seemed a lot more normal, a little more nuanced, people could understand each other.
00:43:51.000 Maybe that's not as true as it is.
00:43:55.000 Has seemed in my memory, but I think it would be better if we could have a civil discourse, if we could have a way that people operate in public, essentially, you know, but we don't.
00:44:10.000 And it's like, you know, we just have straight up depravity just all around us.
00:44:15.000 It's pretty intense to just watch this happen.
00:44:18.000 And to what you were saying, Phil, it's different for people who knew Charlie for sure, you know.
00:44:24.000 I mean, I think we were all, um, We were on stage with them, you know, multiple times.
00:44:29.000 And it's so weird to see somebody that you liked and knew professionally to see their killing be reveled in by people.
00:44:45.000 Yeah, it's.
00:44:47.000 Yeah, I mean, the political climate in the U.S. now, because this is all because of Charlie's.
00:44:58.000 You know, politics because of how effective he was, because of how great of a speaker he was.
00:45:03.000 It's really, really dark to see so many people.
00:45:07.000 I was just looking at a clip on X today, just a little while ago, of people, you know, getting basically violent in New York City over, you know, there was some kind of, I think they were trying to put up a statue or something like that.
00:45:20.000 That was today.
00:45:21.000 Yeah.
00:45:22.000 We had a, yeah.
00:45:23.000 One of our guys was out taking video of that.
00:45:25.000 I wonder if you saw some of the work he did.
00:45:28.000 It might have been.
00:45:28.000 Yeah.
00:45:29.000 I don't, I don't recall which, what account it was.
00:45:31.000 But yeah, I mean, the fact that, Look, you don't have to like Charlie Kirk.
00:45:34.000 You don't have to agree with them.
00:45:36.000 But to go and assault people because they're putting up a statue of a guy, I mean, and, you know, I know we sound like a broken record when we talk about this kind of stuff, but it's all from the left.
00:45:50.000 Like there is nobody on the right that's going to go and try to assault people for putting up a statue of someone that they don't agree with.
00:45:59.000 It's just people on the left.
00:46:01.000 And there's so many bad statues going up these days.
00:46:04.000 Did you see this terrible statue that just went up in London?
00:46:06.000 Yeah, I did.
00:46:08.000 It's hideously ugly.
00:46:09.000 It seems to have absolutely no skill done.
00:46:12.000 And it's comical.
00:46:13.000 None of us are going to go out there and fight over it.
00:46:16.000 Especially seeing as, like, look, the way that the British, the way that, or the people in the UK treat, like, the way that they've globbed onto the whole, you know, anti racist stuff.
00:46:30.000 Like, they're the country that went around the world and ended slavery in all, basically, in all the colonies.
00:46:36.000 Like, amazing.
00:46:37.000 Yeah.
00:46:37.000 They ended slavery.
00:46:38.000 Yes, like globally.
00:46:40.000 Now, grant that obviously they weren't the British colonies weren't actually the total globe and they didn't end it everywhere.
00:46:48.000 Yeah, they didn't end it in the Middle East.
00:46:49.000 Yeah, but they ended it across the whole British Empire.
00:46:55.000 There was slavery in the Middle East.
00:46:55.000 And that is.
00:46:57.000 Yeah, but ending it across the British Empire was something unprecedented in human history for an entire empire to say, we're stopping this.
00:47:07.000 Well, and they footed the bill to stamp it out whenever it did exist. 0.52
00:47:10.000 They did.
00:47:12.000 And now the British are behaving as if they're somehow responsible for slavery.
00:47:19.000 Yes, the British did engage in it, but they didn't engage in it in the way that most other countries did.
00:47:24.000 Every culture has had slavery.
00:47:27.000 And they ended it.
00:47:27.000 Yeah.
00:47:28.000 They're the only one that ended it.
00:47:30.000 It was this linchpin, a small group called the Clapham sect.
00:47:33.000 And they originally were taking people on ships and they had petitions they'd get people to sign and say, look at how bad it is on these ships.
00:47:42.000 And Appeal to people better than people, the indifference to like, look, this is just the way of life, and it's, look, it sucks, but you know what?
00:47:50.000 Life has to continue.
00:47:51.000 My way of life has to continue.
00:47:53.000 And until they actually kind of tricked the system and they did it through a commerce structure that ultimately stopped slavery.
00:48:00.000 And it's part of the reason why a group that I'm working with, with Tim Tebow, is called the Clapham Accelerator because it's about a couple of hundred companies using AI to stop human trafficking through all different innovations in AI.
00:48:17.000 To detect where children are being trafficked, to set up systems that stop it, to protect children on devices through software like Harmblock that stops children from receiving images and being able to give images through AI pattern recognition, all different aspects of that.
00:48:34.000 Deja vu has led to successful rescues through AI pattern recognition as to where the children, where the CSM, child sexual abuse material is coming from.
00:48:42.000 But yeah, these are the initiatives that really matter.
00:48:44.000 And you think about.
00:48:46.000 We have to end these problems because human trafficking is growing at about 20% a year and it's creating a world that we cannot live in.
00:48:54.000 And then when people are so frivolous with human life and just joking about things that really do matter, they're not standing for their world.
00:49:03.000 And we have to do everything to help give them something to stand for.
00:49:07.000 And one of the reasons why I think that people revel in these types of things is because they actually see it as part of something good, something that they like.
00:49:14.000 This is a good thing.
00:49:16.000 It was hard, it was difficult, but it was necessary.
00:49:19.000 And if you look in the Bible in John chapter 17, Jesus said that the time is coming when he that seeks to kill you will think he's doing God's service.
00:49:27.000 But that's because he does not know me and he does not know the Father.
00:49:30.000 And he's talking about what it's like to then be so debased that you think it's like a great thing, a religious thing, like something, a good honor to the betterment of humanity and society to end something that is abhorrent to you because you're offended.
00:49:47.000 And it's also why Jesus said, Woe unto the world because of offenses, right?
00:49:52.000 What is it that we're talking about?
00:49:53.000 People get offended about the things that somebody says.
00:49:56.000 I'm offended by this.
00:49:58.000 And so I want you to be gotten rid of rather than for me to change.
00:50:02.000 Things about my life that are getting called out that are actually things that would be called sin, like I'm actually doing wrong things, and instead of me reflecting on that, I just want to get rid of the check engine light, like there's something wrong with me.
00:50:16.000 Yeah, I mean, I'm not the guy to comment on scripture, but the idea that you know people feel motivated to attack other people because they're offended is something that hasn't gone away, and again, even to Libby's point, like she was talking about how.
00:50:35.000 You know, it's bad that you know people were going after you know people on the right were going after people that were mocking Charlie Kirk's death, like that.
00:50:43.000 I think that I think that's the right impulse to say, Hey, this isn't a good idea.
00:50:50.000 Um, but it is different, totally different than the behavior of the left.
00:50:54.000 And one of the most frustrating things is there are people on the left, and it's most people on the left that will still swear up and down that that it's the left doesn't do that, and when they do.
00:51:06.000 They're justified because, well, you know, the people that they went after, they were bad people.
00:51:10.000 So it's okay.
00:51:11.000 Spiritual blindness.
00:51:12.000 Yeah.
00:51:14.000 It's spiritual blindness because you are literally blind to that which you don't understand.
00:51:14.000 You see what I mean?
00:51:22.000 And then you could justify everything, but you cannot see it.
00:51:25.000 And that's the sad part because you're talking to people that there's a pulse there, but there's like this part that you can't get through.
00:51:33.000 And it was interesting.
00:51:34.000 I was just with Russell Brand in Panama City and he talked about his previous life as being blind.
00:51:40.000 Like, and then, you know, having the intellect that he has, very witty, very, very witty, very intellectual, very smart.
00:51:46.000 And so, but he would mock and ridicule the things that he now believes so strongly and would die for.
00:51:53.000 And he really is a sincere human.
00:51:56.000 And he just reflected on that state of just being blind.
00:52:00.000 And there is a redemptive aspect to that because if we could, you know, have a view of redemption, say, look, I see you, you're in there.
00:52:08.000 And if it was your child that was on the heavy, Side of the left, and you know, going about things this way, you'd say, Look, there's still hope, don't give up on my child.
00:52:16.000 I believe in them, there's still a way, there's a way through here.
00:52:18.000 And it is through love and compassion and kindness, um, that you can break still that hard heartedness and that blindness.
00:52:28.000 Yeah, the slavery discourse is fascinating.
00:52:31.000 One of my favorite uh tidbits of historical record is uh, Mauritania didn't abolish it until 1981, like actual chattel slavery.
00:52:40.000 Like, like the U.S. was unloading like the world's most severe sanctions package on South Africa.
00:52:45.000 Like on the same continent, there was literally a country that, like in 1981, they I would love to be in that room.
00:52:49.000 Yeah, there's like fellas, you know, it's starting to be, it's starting to look like a little, it's a kind of a bad look.
00:52:55.000 I think maybe we should uh reconsider our position.
00:52:58.000 1981, like, it's unreal.
00:53:02.000 We had like, I, I, what was even charting in 1981?
00:53:05.000 And there was a country that had literal chattel slavery illegalized, like it's like the talking heads, maybe, yeah, maybe.
00:53:10.000 And then, yeah, just they're they're listening to the talking heads and they're like, you know what, maybe, yeah, I need to outwall this, just not a good look, not a good look.
00:53:19.000 That was always fascinating to me.
00:53:20.000 It's like if you read Henry Kissinger, he had this bloodthirst for all these basically European and European descended countries.
00:53:28.000 And if any of them stepped out of line in any way, shape, or form, massive sanctions package, the full breadth of the American State Department.
00:53:36.000 But then you had countries like Mauritania, who literally had ancient chattel slavery sanctioned by the state.
00:53:43.000 I was like, no, nothing's wrong here.
00:53:45.000 It's just the 20th century is just absolutely bizarre.
00:53:48.000 Yeah.
00:53:49.000 It's like.
00:53:50.000 Good song, Amazing Grace, right?
00:53:52.000 Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound saved a wretch like me.
00:53:55.000 I once was blind, but I once was lost, but now I'm found.
00:53:57.000 I was blind, but now I see.
00:53:59.000 He was, he was, he was, uh, it was a song about a slave owner, and it didn't make it to Mauritania until 1981, by all accounts.
00:54:05.000 I charted there, and they're like, Oh, might be time to evolve.
00:54:09.000 Amazing Grace probably didn't make it over there until the 80s.
00:54:11.000 They're like, Whoa, that's a good song.
00:54:14.000 All right, you know what?
00:54:15.000 Maybe now, maybe now is the time to get rid of slavery because of Amazing Grace.
00:54:22.000 And, and, uh, yeah, go ahead.
00:54:24.000 Funny short video I watched where a guy was asking people, When did slavery end? 0.98
00:54:28.000 And you know what's funny about these men in the street interviews is that when you see these videos where people answer the questions like they're stupid, this is not real.
00:54:35.000 Because imagine trying to do honest and legitimate videos and you find that when you go to Times Square, 99% of people will give you either a good answer or a I'm sorry, I just don't know answer. 0.99
00:54:46.000 So when you see these videos where people are really dumb, they're hunting for dumb people. 0.95
00:54:51.000 But they ask people, this guy asks people, When did slavery end? 0.99
00:54:54.000 And what did it say?
00:54:56.000 It's his edit, so who knows what people said to him.
00:54:57.000 But the people he shows, they say, Do you mean in America?
00:55:01.000 And he's like, The question is, when did slavery end?
00:55:02.000 And every single person goes, Slavery never ended.
00:55:04.000 It's still happening right now, all over the world. 0.98
00:55:07.000 Yeah, it's true.
00:55:07.000 People know this.
00:55:09.000 It's not a secret. 1.00
00:55:09.000 Even the dumb people know. 1.00
00:55:11.000 Indeed. 1.00
00:55:12.000 Yeah.
00:55:12.000 I mean, that goes to kind of the idea that the things that offend people on the left, they're not actually offended by it.
00:55:19.000 It's just a way to exercise power.
00:55:22.000 Yeah.
00:55:22.000 You know?
00:55:22.000 Yeah.
00:55:23.000 The whole like, you've offended me or you did this, you broke this social taboo.
00:55:28.000 You said this wrong thing.
00:55:31.000 It doesn't matter what you said.
00:55:33.000 It's just that there's a means for them to exert power over you.
00:55:37.000 Because you have the wrong opinions or whatever it is.
00:55:40.000 We had like a couple decades of people on the left saying that it was time to destroy a lot of the norms, whether it was nuclear families or heteronormative, blah, blah, blah, or whatever it was.
00:55:55.000 And now that all the norms have been destroyed, They get mad that norms that they liked are still destroyed.
00:56:04.000 They get mad that the norms they like are still destroyed.
00:56:06.000 And so they complain about all of that stuff too.
00:56:08.000 But once you start really, once you pick away at the wall, the wall is going to crumple and you don't get to decide where the pieces fall.
00:56:16.000 Yeah.
00:56:17.000 It's, excuse me.
00:56:20.000 Yeah.
00:56:21.000 The structures that hold up society are a lot more fragile than people kind of realize.
00:56:29.000 You know, I give this a lot of thought because I agree with you, and they are more fragile.
00:56:33.000 Like society is fragile.
00:56:34.000 There's this old movie from what is that, the 70s, called Little Murders, and it was written by Jules Pfeiffer, who was this playwright.
00:56:43.000 And it went up on Broadway.
00:56:45.000 Elliot Gould was really into the movie and he was into the show.
00:56:48.000 He was on Broadway with that show, and then he was in the movie as well.
00:56:52.000 But it's really a terrific movie for looking at how society can just fall apart.
00:57:01.000 Yep.
00:57:01.000 And it talks about society just falling apart.
00:57:03.000 And there's a moment where one of the characters says to all the hippie kids, Destroy, destroy, destroy. 0.68
00:57:11.000 When are you going to find time to build?
00:57:13.000 And that's the thing.
00:57:14.000 You can work really hard to destroy society, but once it's gone, it takes way longer to build it back than it did to knock it down.
00:57:23.000 And you're not going to like where all the pieces fall.
00:57:25.000 You're not going to like not having clean water or cheap gas or, you know, food that you can trust in the grocery store.
00:57:33.000 You're not going to like those things.
00:57:35.000 People put a lot of emphasis, or the left puts a lot of emphasis on, you know, we have to destroy the system and et cetera.
00:57:35.000 Yeah.
00:57:44.000 Have this idea that the new system or a better system will just arise from the ashes.
00:57:52.000 You know, a purer, more utopian system.
00:57:55.000 Oh, yeah, there you go.
00:57:56.000 Right?
00:57:56.000 That's what they're looking for.
00:57:59.000 It's like this it's like it's as if they believe that, like, there's all of these bad things that are constraining the good system.
00:58:08.000 And if we just tear down enough of the bad things, the good system will become self evident.
00:58:14.000 But that's not how anything works.
00:58:16.000 Right.
00:58:17.000 Like, I mean, they just have no idea how they're going to produce the results that they swear up and down that they're going to produce.
00:58:24.000 And you see it, you know, happen in society, in different societies throughout history.
00:58:28.000 And it doesn't matter what the race of the society is, it doesn't matter about the makeup of the society at all.
00:58:35.000 These things don't work in any society.
00:58:39.000 You look at societies that generally do work, and they're societies where, you know, the families, The family unit is the primary unit, right?
00:58:49.000 Like that's the foundation of your society.
00:58:52.000 If you have a society that makes sure that families are taken care of, that by extension takes care of the individuals in the family, right?
00:59:00.000 We've sort of replaced that in the United States with the foundational relationship is not in the family unit, but it's between the individual and government.
00:59:07.000 And government is so, you know, fickle and constantly changing and based on a drive for power, not actually values or anything.
00:59:19.000 That's a very dangerous relationship to base a society on.
00:59:23.000 And also, these leftists are the same ones who think that the colonists disrupted these perfectly peaceful Indian civilizations.
00:59:23.000 Yeah.
00:59:31.000 Noble savage.
00:59:32.000 You know? 0.82
00:59:33.000 And it's like, no, these were warring tribes that practiced child sacrifice.
00:59:39.000 The myth of the noble savage is one of the most pernicious ideas that permeates modern society.
00:59:45.000 The people that believe, oh, you know, and Rousseau was guilty of it.
00:59:48.000 Like, Rousseau, from the.
00:59:50.000 During the French Revolution, he believed that man was constrained by society and we should return to being savages or savages in cities or whatever.
01:00:02.000 But it just doesn't work that way.
01:00:06.000 You can't have people that are not restrained by law living among other people.
01:00:12.000 Yeah, that was the sentiment of the French Revolution, which was to disenfranchise religion and the belief in God and to institute atheism by law.
01:00:22.000 And the seven day week was shifted to a 10 day week.
01:00:27.000 It actually did cause insanity as well.
01:00:29.000 And that was a mathematician that observed the mental asylums doubling in number.
01:00:34.000 And this balance, because the seven day week is actually a remembrance of God. 0.59
01:00:39.000 Yeah.
01:00:40.000 So the six days of creation and day of rest.
01:00:40.000 Yeah.
01:00:43.000 And so it directly conflicted with that.
01:00:46.000 And then it was to worship the goddess of reason. 0.92
01:00:49.000 And it was a prostitute that was then, you know, adhered. 0.89
01:00:54.000 Honored as the god of reason. 0.92
01:00:57.000 And hence why people look at the Statue of Liberty being a gift from France, being reminiscent of that god of reason and that ideology also being here and some of the yin and yang that is going on with this, leaning into that.
01:01:12.000 But there was so much bloodshed through this.
01:01:15.000 In France, historians talked about the streets flowing with blood.
01:01:18.000 40,000 people were killed by the Jacobins in the French Revolution. 1.00
01:01:25.000 I can't comprehend how people would think that that was better. 0.67
01:01:29.000 And then they had 75 years of not figuring out how to organize a proper government after the French Revolution. 0.99
01:01:35.000 They had Napoleon and all of his misadventures and just revolution after revolution because it was just basically a shit show. 0.95
01:01:45.000 Well, they screwed up the pitch on the 10 day week because they were like, okay, we have a new plan. 0.98
01:01:49.000 And everyone's like, okay, well, we'll hear you out.
01:01:51.000 You know, we just did this whole revolution.
01:01:53.000 It's kind of an exciting time.
01:01:54.000 We're going to do a 10 day week.
01:01:55.000 And everyone's like, okay, that's interesting.
01:01:57.000 You know, maybe explain yourself when they say, well, Sunday, you know, your day of rest, we're moving that to the 10th day.
01:02:03.000 And then you have nine days of work.
01:02:04.000 And terrible pitch.
01:02:06.000 I was dead in the water.
01:02:07.000 If they would have said, hey, we're doing three rest days, it might have had some legs. 0.54
01:02:10.000 Stalin did five.
01:02:11.000 Like now we're talking five rest days or five day week, right?
01:02:11.000 Yeah.
01:02:15.000 So these are all kind of atheistic.
01:02:18.000 War on God concepts, which, if you understand, the wars of the 19th, 20th century have been religious wars under atheism and with people like Charles Darwin spearheading the ideologies.
01:02:34.000 And these, like Hitler was a hardcore Darwinist.
01:02:41.000 And so there are interesting crossovers between alleged science and. 0.82
01:02:49.000 And how they did create this debased nature or help instill that within people to justify things that weren't good and had bad impacts in society.
01:02:58.000 It just shows the thing that the left fears the most is the weekend.
01:03:02.000 Yeah, I know.
01:03:03.000 That's when we get up to some things as we start scheming a little bit.
01:03:07.000 I kind of miss blue laws, you know?
01:03:09.000 Okay, you know about blue laws.
01:03:11.000 National Sunday law.
01:03:13.000 You can't buy cars in Virginia on Sunday?
01:03:15.000 In Massachusetts, I think you still, maybe it changed it, but it used to be, when I was a kid, you'd go into the Cumberland Farms.
01:03:21.000 Phil knows what I'm talking about.
01:03:22.000 Oh, yeah.
01:03:23.000 And the.
01:03:24.000 No, there'd be like a sheet over the booze.
01:03:28.000 You know, you couldn't even go down the pack and pick anything up.
01:03:30.000 See, here's the thing, though.
01:03:31.000 That's fascism, right?
01:03:33.000 It is.
01:03:34.000 No.
01:03:34.000 That's what the left calls fascism.
01:03:35.000 I think it is.
01:03:36.000 Traditional moral structures, they would call fascism.
01:03:39.000 But they don't mean fascism as in traditional moral structures.
01:03:41.000 They mean it as in you're a bad guy doing a bad thing.
01:03:44.000 Yeah.
01:03:45.000 Yeah, I like it because everybody has to just calm down.
01:03:49.000 Like stores are closed.
01:03:50.000 You can't go do stuff.
01:03:52.000 Just chill out and then you know you go to church and then get left alone for the rest of the day. 1.00
01:03:56.000 You never did, you didn't have to get dragged out to some dumb store to go look at linens or something stupid. 0.99
01:04:01.000 But I think we should go further. 0.99
01:04:02.000 I think we should have Saturday and Sunday, we should just have Shabbat and you know the Christian Sunday and just close everything on the weekends, just shut it down. 0.99
01:04:14.000 I wouldn't have agreed a while ago, but I do agree. 0.95
01:04:17.000 And it's funny because uh, I've been invited to various Shabbat dinners, and I remember the first time I got invited, I think I was like 29, and I didn't know what Shabbat meant.
01:04:27.000 And so a friend of mine was like, Do you want to come to Shabbat with us?
01:04:29.000 And then I was like, Sure, what's that?
01:04:31.000 And she's like, It's like a dinner.
01:04:33.000 I thought it was like a special once a year thing.
01:04:35.000 And so we go to this house and they have basically a buffet set up.
01:04:35.000 Oh, no.
01:04:40.000 It's a house, it's not like a buffet, but they put all the food out so you can walk up with your plate and grab whatever you want.
01:04:45.000 And they were like, Everyone's got to leave your phone at the door. 0.86
01:04:47.000 And it was hosted by a Jewish guy, but everybody there wasn't. 0.68
01:04:52.000 And everybody just hung out and talked.
01:04:54.000 And I was like, Oh, so Alec Hoffman, you guys do this.
01:04:56.000 And they were like, Every week.
01:04:57.000 And I was like, What?
01:04:58.000 Like every Saturday.
01:04:59.000 And I was like, I thought this was a holiday.
01:05:01.000 Yeah.
01:05:01.000 They're like, no, we just do this.
01:05:02.000 Well, and it used to be, there used to be the Christian tradition of Sunday dinner. 0.97
01:05:07.000 I could go with Shabbat and Sunday dinner every damn weekend and I would be happy about it. 0.97
01:05:07.000 That's right. 0.97
01:05:12.000 That sounds great.
01:05:13.000 I remember the first time I got invited to a Passover, I was like, oh, this is amazing.
01:05:18.000 Every time I get invited to a Shabbat or a Passover, which is not as often as I'd like, I go.
01:05:23.000 Christianity has the Sabbath too, and people need to.
01:05:26.000 Isn't that a commandment to hold the Sabbath?
01:05:28.000 People need to do that.
01:05:28.000 Yes, it is.
01:05:29.000 Remember the Sabbath. 1.00
01:05:31.000 I'm in 100% agreement.
01:05:32.000 Sorry, you're going to say.
01:05:33.000 I was going to say, like, I was talking to my wife about exactly this.
01:05:36.000 I think it came up because, you know, Ben Shapiro is unavailable from Friday evening until Saturday evening.
01:05:40.000 Harley Kirk used to be unavailable.
01:05:42.000 Yep. 0.99
01:05:43.000 And it's not about, it's Christians should be doing this.
01:05:47.000 And I think generally everyone should be doing it because it's family time.
01:05:51.000 And when I mentioned, like, I talked to my wife about it, like, you know, so on the weekends, we should do this.
01:05:57.000 And I'm like, and they don't even use their phones.
01:05:57.000 And she's like, oh, yeah.
01:05:59.000 She's like, oh, really?
01:06:00.000 Yeah.
01:06:01.000 Put your phone down, Tim.
01:06:03.000 Ari Hoffman, who's one of my favorite people at the Postmillennial, I've been working with him for a couple of years.
01:06:08.000 He's unavailable Friday until Saturday.
01:06:11.000 It's great for him.
01:06:13.000 And like, that's just his schedule.
01:06:15.000 He's off Friday and Saturday.
01:06:16.000 But think about what that does to the institutionalized learning facility when the teachers are trying to indoctrinate your kids, but every Sunday the phones are off and you are all together.
01:06:25.000 No, Sabbath is one of the most amazing things.
01:06:25.000 Yeah.
01:06:28.000 And it's awesome that Charlie talked about it.
01:06:31.000 And it has been a staple through society.
01:06:33.000 It's been one of the most beautiful times that everyone looks forward to.
01:06:37.000 And like, all the days of our week are named after planet gods Moonday, Monday, Chu, Woden, Wednesday, Thor, Thursday.
01:06:46.000 Frigg, Saturn, Saturday, Sunday.
01:06:50.000 And so that's the Teutonian Roman gods.
01:06:54.000 But before it was actually just days towards the Sabbath.
01:06:57.000 So it was seven days and it was days towards Shabbat.
01:07:01.000 And it was so important that that's just what people loved to do because then you could just rest and enjoy your family, enjoy connection with God.
01:07:09.000 And it was a beautiful thing.
01:07:11.000 And it's in the Ten Commandments, the fourth commandment remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.
01:07:15.000 Six days shall you labor, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
01:07:18.000 In it you shall do no work.
01:07:19.000 And it was the one thing that stopped people from going insane as well.
01:07:23.000 It stopped me from going insane.
01:07:24.000 I've kept it my whole life.
01:07:26.000 And it's been a blessing.
01:07:27.000 It's been hard at times because it's like, dude, I've got this great opportunity.
01:07:31.000 And I want to talk business right now.
01:07:32.000 I want to close this deal.
01:07:33.000 But it's like, no, it's a blessing.
01:07:35.000 And I don't need this.
01:07:36.000 And it only ever opened up great things and wonderful things.
01:07:40.000 Now, I'll say the other side of this.
01:07:43.000 If this is instituted as a law, it's the worst thing ever.
01:07:46.000 Here's why it impedes the free will.
01:07:51.000 It's awesome that you could check that out, Tim, and experience that, enjoy that, and then have the choice to say, you know what?
01:07:57.000 I might do this.
01:07:58.000 And if it comes out of the free will of your own choice, it's a beautiful thing.
01:08:02.000 But if you're forced to do that, it doesn't seem like a dark thing.
01:08:05.000 But I'd show you where, even in 1895, it was passed as a law, it was called the Blair Bill.
01:08:11.000 And then immediately arrests started to happen in this country for people that weren't doing it.
01:08:17.000 And you'd say, okay, maybe.
01:08:20.000 Maybe that's a good thing, but it wasn't.
01:08:22.000 And it was A.T. Jones, who was a barrister, a lawyer, that single handedly took down the Blair Bill off the premise that free will, the Sabbath is only good because you have free will so that you can do good, you can worship God, you can make these choices.
01:08:34.000 But once you get forced, then now your ability to do good is impeded.
01:08:39.000 Well, I don't think that, I think it's okay to say businesses can't be open on.
01:08:43.000 I'm just thinking this through now.
01:08:45.000 And I kind of think it's okay to say, you know, we're going to close stuff down.
01:08:49.000 Now I need to break my commandment because I keep the seventh day Sabbath.
01:08:53.000 And now, if I'm impeded from work on Sunday, the Ten Commandments say, six days shall you labor and do all of your work.
01:08:58.000 So, I have to work on Sunday because, as in, when I say have to, I mean, for me to be restricted and now I'm adhering to men's law, breaking the commandment for myself.
01:09:08.000 Do you see what I said? 0.53
01:09:09.000 I remember when I was a kid, my dad worked. 0.95
01:09:12.000 He's an attorney and he worked at a law firm where the partners who were Jewish would always make sure to show up on Christmas and Easter, like almost just as a revolt to do it. 0.97
01:09:25.000 You can pick Saturday or Sunday. 0.98
01:09:26.000 I don't care which day it is.
01:09:28.000 But if I, yeah, yeah.
01:09:30.000 You know, just close it down.
01:09:32.000 You know what?
01:09:32.000 This is why I'm saying just take Saturday and Sunday.
01:09:35.000 Take Saturday and Sunday, and Home Depot is closed, and Walmart is closed, and everybody can, you know, work the other days of the week.
01:09:43.000 Oh, that was my dad. 0.93
01:09:44.000 He worked in an environment that required labor on holidays, and he said they would just schedule all the atheist and Jewish people on the holidays. 0.75
01:09:53.000 Well, you know, Chinese food restaurants on Christmas. 0.93
01:09:56.000 That's the Jewish tradition.
01:09:57.000 Yeah, that's right.
01:09:58.000 I have had many a Chinese food restaurant meal on Christmas, and it's fun because they're open.
01:10:04.000 Yeah, well, and because, you know, my stepfather was Jewish, and so we'd go.
01:10:07.000 It'd be fun.
01:10:08.000 Cool, because I remember, I don't know if it's going to tell me or someone else will tell me.
01:10:11.000 And we'd have good dumplings. 0.76
01:10:12.000 They, like, scheduled a Jewish co worker on Christmas, and then he was, like, throwing a fit, and he was, like, it's Christmas, I'm working. 0.65
01:10:18.000 And he was like, Isn't that your whole thing?
01:10:20.000 Like, you don't actually care.
01:10:22.000 Christmas, for example, is the celebration of Tamils, the sun god, after Nimrod, who took his own mother, Semiramis, as his mother.
01:10:28.000 No, it's not. 0.95
01:10:29.000 That's great.
01:10:30.000 No, it's not.
01:10:30.000 That's what it is.
01:10:31.000 No, it isn't.
01:10:32.000 Christmas is the celebration of Jesus's birth.
01:10:32.000 Where'd it come from?
01:10:34.000 25th of December.
01:10:36.000 Christmas is the celebration of Christ.
01:10:39.000 It's the celebration of Jesus' birth. 1.00
01:10:42.000 No, I dispute your pagan garbage. 1.00
01:10:45.000 Okay, sorry. 1.00
01:10:46.000 No, no, no.
01:10:46.000 Just that's the distinction.
01:10:49.000 The Christian view is not in alignment with your view, and you're not going to convince a Christian otherwise. 0.62
01:10:53.000 You're not.
01:10:54.000 But no, but what I'm saying is the Christian view.
01:10:56.000 This is the Christian view.
01:10:58.000 Because Christian view is that we're celebrating the sun god?
01:11:02.000 No, that's what. 0.99
01:11:04.000 Okay, the pagan.
01:11:04.000 That's what.
01:11:06.000 It's on Constantine, the Roman emperor.
01:11:09.000 That instituted and switched over the Roman and Greek gods so that those days that were the pagan days of worship then got instituted. 0.69
01:11:19.000 And so Easter is Ishtar. 0.96
01:11:22.000 It's true.
01:11:22.000 No, no.
01:11:23.000 Easter. 0.99
01:11:24.000 Guys, guys, you have two different religions. 0.94
01:11:26.000 Agree to this point. 0.91
01:11:27.000 Okay.
01:11:28.000 All right.
01:11:28.000 Well, there's two schools of thought, which he's referencing, like Aurelian.
01:11:30.000 I'm not trying to tell anybody what their religion is. 0.99
01:11:33.000 He's trying to tell me what my religion is, and that's trash. 0.99
01:11:35.000 I'm not saying your religion. 0.97
01:11:37.000 I'm saying that that's what those days, that's the history of them.
01:11:37.000 No.
01:11:41.000 And so it's not like.
01:11:43.000 I'm saying that you're bad.
01:11:44.000 I actually enjoy it.
01:11:45.000 Let me just put it like this.
01:11:47.000 I enjoy it.
01:11:48.000 There is a liberal who is fervent, violent Antifa, born on the same day as me.
01:11:55.000 Now, if someone said March 9th celebrates Tim Pool, independent, right leaning individual, they'd be like, what are you talking about?
01:12:02.000 This lib was born on March 9th.
01:12:04.000 Just because, you see what I'm saying?
01:12:06.000 I understand the point that you're making.
01:12:08.000 And people will dispute the origin of the days.
01:12:12.000 But I'm just going to say this your belief on the history of these days.
01:12:17.000 Is completely divergent from the Christian belief on these days, and you're not going to convince a Christian.
01:12:22.000 The modern historical view that's it, the modern Christian.
01:12:27.000 Well, the modern historical view is that Christ was conceived on the same day that he was crucified.
01:12:32.000 This is what all the early Christians believed.
01:12:34.000 You can go through it, it's even in like an ecumenical councils they reference this.
01:12:37.000 So the Feast of Annunciation was March 25th, you add nine months onto that, that's December 25th.
01:12:42.000 That's how they calculated it.
01:12:44.000 Later on, people said, Oh, Aurelian, he had the like Sol Invictus and like the fertility day or whatever on December 25th, but.
01:12:52.000 It's too simplistic to just say, well, they just, the Romans, once they became Christian, they just wanted to absorb all of the pagan holidays to like kind of convince people to come along into Christianity.
01:13:02.000 Can I just, sorry to interrupt, can I just talk about how awesome it was that September, October, November, and December made so much sense?
01:13:10.000 And they were like, now we need two more Julius and Augustine.
01:13:12.000 Yeah, but sorry, continue.
01:13:14.000 Yeah.
01:13:14.000 No, yeah.
01:13:15.000 So it's like there's the theory that it's the Roman winter festival.
01:13:18.000 But if you look at, again, there's two schools of thought, and there probably is some Roman, some indication that the Romans did.
01:13:25.000 You know, choose December 25th, maybe like lure in some pagans, but early Christians had already accepted March 25th as the day of Annunciation and then the add nine months onto that, nine months of pregnancy, and then Christ being born on December 25th.
01:13:37.000 That's typically the kind of modern historical view on why we landed on December 25th.
01:13:42.000 I also want to stress, too, that part of me is concerned about communist attempts at erasing Christian history for the purpose of erasing Christianity.
01:13:51.000 Yep.
01:13:52.000 They clearly, you know, many of these activists have no problem with Islam.
01:13:57.000 But they have tremendous problems with Christianity. 0.92
01:13:59.000 As exemplified by Steven Crowder when he did that campaign like 10 years ago, he had a bunch of fake gay guys, including himself, go to Muslim bakeries to get gay wedding cakes made and they wouldn't make them. 0.88
01:14:09.000 But there was no leftist outrage, no liberal outrage. 0.93
01:14:12.000 It was only the Christians. 0.93
01:14:14.000 So I will say, I've heard a lot from liberals and atheists about why Christian history is fake or incorrect or why you shouldn't believe these things. 0.55
01:14:24.000 And I'm kind of like, yeah, but you guys lied about a bunch of that stuff.
01:14:27.000 So I'm not saying it's all wrong.
01:14:29.000 I'm not saying you're wrong.
01:14:30.000 I'm saying I'm skeptical. 0.99
01:14:32.000 Because there's a very good reason to tell Christians that their Lord and Savior was not born on December 25th and their holiday was actually fake because it's to attack their faith. 0.97
01:14:42.000 Well, yeah.
01:14:42.000 It undermines it.
01:14:43.000 And Sol Invictus, it is a fascinating topic to approach because it is an example of the Romans saying, look, we have this working relationship with Christians now. 0.99
01:14:52.000 We need to accommodate for them. 0.84
01:14:54.000 Therefore, the sun returning, I think that's what it is, the sun coming back to celebrate the winter festival will make that December 25th.
01:15:01.000 But there is a lot of evidence that.
01:15:03.000 The early Christians were already making that calculation of nine months after the Feast of Annunciation to say this is when Christ was born.
01:15:11.000 But to be fair, like to concede to you in some degree, is what we know to be Christmas, a lot of the traditions, et cetera, some of that did come out of like early European paganism, but not the date itself, more like the actual aesthetics and whatnot.
01:15:24.000 You know, you think about the Yule log and, and, you know, many of the aesthetics that we associate with Christmas.
01:15:29.000 That is true.
01:15:30.000 At least I personally believe that's true.
01:15:31.000 And some people, you know, lose faith over these things because they think, oh, it's all not real.
01:15:36.000 But I'm saying it's all.
01:15:37.000 Very real, and that's why I'm all for the freedom for people to do as their conscience dictates.
01:15:43.000 Like, if this is the day, then that's meaningful and that's important.
01:15:46.000 Then I respect it and honor it, and I honor you in that.
01:15:50.000 I'm talking about a historical shift that happened.
01:15:52.000 If you look at what happened after Christ was crucified, you saw like over 200 years of bloodshed where Christians were hunted and they were put into the Roman Colosseums, and all of these things happened.
01:16:04.000 And it was such a harsh persecution for them when Constantine, the emperor in 321, said, You know what, we'll do a deal.
01:16:10.000 And then they inked the first national Sunday law, which then resulted in the genocide of all these different people that would not adhere to it, especially those that wanted to keep the seventh day Sabbath.
01:16:20.000 There was this, they moved over a lot of the times that then accommodated and created the Roman Empire. 0.50
01:16:27.000 And I'm just against the force aspect of it.
01:16:29.000 That's what I get concerned about.
01:16:30.000 Well, why should there be any laws at all that force people to do anything?
01:16:34.000 Why should there be speed limit laws or speed belt laws?
01:16:36.000 I'll tell you what.
01:16:37.000 Why should there be taxation laws?
01:16:39.000 Why should there be.
01:16:42.000 The civil laws that protect humans from hurting and harming each other. 0.92
01:16:46.000 Religious laws are the darkest of all laws, of all restrictions and things to force on people because it impedes on the conscience. 0.69
01:16:55.000 But don't you then have a situation where people have to work because they have to participate in society and then they have to go against their religion because they're scheduled to work on a day that is holy for them? 0.85
01:17:06.000 I mean, isn't that a violence against that person in the establishment of their religious right?
01:17:12.000 It is.
01:17:13.000 It is.
01:17:13.000 And so I would, for me, like I have quite a few staff that work.
01:17:17.000 For me, I would honor any day that they choose as the days.
01:17:20.000 Like, I would never tell somebody, no, that's not what you should do.
01:17:23.000 Like, I, my, my, my commitment to people and their autonomy and their free will and their ability to choose how they worship is so important to me that I would never do that to somebody.
01:17:35.000 And as I would never want someone to do that to me.
01:17:37.000 And so I'm saying things that need to be individual and personal.
01:17:41.000 But why should there be any laws at all?
01:17:43.000 Because people's, people's, people's freedom, people's safety needs.
01:17:48.000 To be protected.
01:17:49.000 That's why, you know, people cannot murder.
01:17:52.000 And I think there's a reason why, if you look at the Ten Commandment law, people believe that their four was put on one: do not take the name of the Lord, God, thy God, in vain, have no other gods before me, don't take the name of the Lord, honor the Sabbath.
01:18:05.000 Those four commandments, and then the six commandments, which begin with honor your mother and father, and then thou shalt not murder, were the ones that they could be instituted.
01:18:14.000 You would have laws around protecting the safety of people.
01:18:18.000 But the religious laws, like, In the same way, then I could then govern.
01:18:22.000 Okay, you took the name of the Lord in vain. 0.99
01:18:24.000 You should be executed. 0.99
01:18:25.000 You can't make a law about not coveting. 0.99
01:18:29.000 The fruit of it, where that would result in stealing, yes, on that.
01:18:34.000 Right, but that's a different thing.
01:18:35.000 Coveting and stealing are two different things.
01:18:37.000 No, they're not.
01:18:38.000 Yes, they are.
01:18:39.000 Coveting is the seed of what causes the thievery.
01:18:43.000 Right, but you can have a seed and never grow it.
01:18:46.000 So, but in principle, what I'm saying is.
01:18:48.000 So, why aren't there laws against coveting?
01:18:51.000 Because that would be thought crime.
01:18:52.000 You can't.
01:18:53.000 And that's what I'm saying.
01:18:53.000 Right.
01:18:54.000 Thought crime is what.
01:18:55.000 Right.
01:18:55.000 But you, any religious lawyer, brought that in with the other six, saying that there could be laws against.
01:19:01.000 Because the onflow of what that means in the effect of the actions of those things, but not the mind.
01:19:09.000 I got to pause you real quick.
01:19:10.000 So we're about 15 minutes from Trump speaking.
01:19:13.000 And we've got this from a member, User Z, member for 79 months.
01:19:17.000 Tim Cass, shout out, brother said.
01:19:19.000 Shout out.
01:19:19.000 I'm behind the convention stage right now.
01:19:22.000 Waiting for Trump to go on, he will appear behind him with a large group of young Republicans and other organizations.
01:19:27.000 I've been a member longer than Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:19:30.000 That's some serious stuff.
01:19:33.000 Oh, we're excited to see you, brother.
01:19:34.000 Oh, man.
01:19:35.000 Trump will be up there about 14 minutes from now.
01:19:38.000 In the meantime, sorry to carry on.
01:19:40.000 Are we going to watch it live?
01:19:41.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:19:42.000 I have it pulled up right now.
01:19:43.000 Right now, Trump Jr. is speaking.
01:19:45.000 And, you know, as I watch this, I'm just thinking, dude's got a really thick beard and really dark hair.
01:19:52.000 And I say that not because Myron has beard, but because Trump doesn't.
01:19:52.000 Yep.
01:19:58.000 Trump doesn't have a deep, thick beard, and his hair is very light.
01:20:03.000 Have we ever seen Trump with a beard?
01:20:05.000 No, but the meme images look pretty good.
01:20:07.000 Like it would help his neck, you know what I mean?
01:20:07.000 Yeah.
01:20:10.000 John Jr.'s mom also was very fair.
01:20:10.000 Yeah.
01:20:13.000 Yeah.
01:20:13.000 Well, this is what you do.
01:20:14.000 Well, you know, dominant jeans, right? 0.99
01:20:16.000 Jeans.
01:20:16.000 This is what you do when you get old and you get a flabby neck.
01:20:18.000 You got to grow facial hair to cover it up.
01:20:21.000 Or pull your tongue. 0.85
01:20:22.000 Pull your tongue. 0.77
01:20:23.000 Yeah.
01:20:23.000 So you.
01:20:24.000 It's a thing, yeah.
01:20:25.000 Pull your tongue.
01:20:26.000 I've seen that on Instagram.
01:20:27.000 Yeah, because it's your tongue.
01:20:28.000 Ah.
01:20:29.000 What?
01:20:30.000 Ivana's natural hair color is brown.
01:20:32.000 Oh, really?
01:20:33.000 Plot twist.
01:20:34.000 Plot twist.
01:20:34.000 Okay.
01:20:36.000 He looks like his parents. 0.98
01:20:37.000 Look, I was thinking that too, because I was like, she's blonde, but I looked, she's not. 1.00
01:20:37.000 Shocking. 1.00
01:20:40.000 Apparently, she's naturally dark brown. 1.00
01:20:42.000 The checks, they're slippery.
01:20:44.000 If my tongue is against my mouth, Tim, look, it's going to make a thing, like it's going to look, you know, whatever, good.
01:20:52.000 And then if I do it like this.
01:20:55.000 Pull your tongue?
01:20:56.000 Yeah, well, pulling your tongue strengthens my tongue. 0.92
01:20:58.000 Grabbing your tongue and pulling your tongue. 0.62
01:21:00.000 Yeah, because it's sitting back.
01:21:02.000 Like this, Tim.
01:21:03.000 Like this.
01:21:04.000 It's weird.
01:21:04.000 Like a tape.
01:21:05.000 Yeah, like this.
01:21:05.000 Ow.
01:21:06.000 He believes you.
01:21:07.000 Am I look maxing?
01:21:09.000 That's look maxing, yes.
01:21:11.000 Looks maxing.
01:21:11.000 And then against the roof of your mouth?
01:21:13.000 And then pushing it back.
01:21:15.000 Because you've got to strengthen the tongue muscle.
01:21:15.000 Why?
01:21:17.000 Why?
01:21:18.000 And you've got to strengthen the tongue muscle.
01:21:20.000 It's like, it's way more important than strengthening your biceps because that's, if you're a mouth breather, it's because your tongue, your tongue muscle is sitting at the bottom.
01:21:29.000 There's an adult joke I was going to make, but I'm not going to.
01:21:31.000 I was thinking with that.
01:21:32.000 You guys got to pull your tongue because I feel better.
01:21:35.000 I feel good.
01:21:36.000 Yeah, it feels good, right?
01:21:38.000 Yeah.
01:21:39.000 You know who really needs to pull their tongue in the figurative sense?
01:21:42.000 Ian.
01:21:43.000 You probably would.
01:21:44.000 Be on board for sure.
01:21:45.000 He probably does.
01:21:46.000 No, I'm saying in the figurative sense.
01:21:47.000 He's probably a tongue puller.
01:21:48.000 Yeah, I bet he is.
01:21:49.000 He's a tongue puller.
01:21:51.000 I think so.
01:21:51.000 And then you sleep on your side, not on your back.
01:21:53.000 He has been doing it.
01:21:54.000 You sleep on your side, not on your back, so your tongue doesn't, so you don't mouth breathe.
01:21:57.000 Yeah, well, I don't like sleeping on my back.
01:22:00.000 It's like, it just doesn't, yeah.
01:22:00.000 I don't like it.
01:22:01.000 I sleep on my side.
01:22:02.000 I sleep on the couch.
01:22:03.000 Well, that's good for you.
01:22:04.000 Oh, yeah, that's pretty bad.
01:22:04.000 Do you really?
01:22:05.000 Yeah, that's crazy.
01:22:07.000 He's in the fetal position.
01:22:08.000 Yeah, he's back in the fetal position.
01:22:09.000 My mattress has like a hole in the middle because that's where I wear it down.
01:22:11.000 With his thumb in his mouth.
01:22:13.000 Yeah, I don't know what happened.
01:22:14.000 I think it's because I was a C section baby or something.
01:22:17.000 I Yes, and I was too.
01:22:19.000 You know, it's pretty normal.
01:22:20.000 We came out okay.
01:22:23.000 Ginger.
01:22:24.000 It's like I have a lot of problems.
01:22:25.000 A lot of weird things going on.
01:22:28.000 I'm like Scottish.
01:22:29.000 Is that a problem?
01:22:31.000 Depends on who you ask.
01:22:32.000 Really?
01:22:32.000 If you asked Thomas, or if you asked Jefferson, the English one.
01:22:36.000 Yes, the English.
01:22:37.000 Yeah.
01:22:37.000 Yeah.
01:22:38.000 But you guys founded Canada, basically.
01:22:40.000 True.
01:22:41.000 Yeah, we're proud of that.
01:22:42.000 And Scotland.
01:22:43.000 Yeah.
01:22:43.000 Proud of Canada?
01:22:45.000 Well, until about 30 years ago.
01:22:47.000 It was good until.
01:22:48.000 It was going good.
01:22:49.000 They had good fur trappers back in the day.
01:22:50.000 It was going good until.
01:22:52.000 Less than that.
01:22:53.000 Hudson Bay Company.
01:22:54.000 Which is crazy.
01:22:54.000 Yeah.
01:22:55.000 They're still around.
01:22:56.000 Like the actual LLC is still there and they're just selling.
01:22:58.000 They still have stores.
01:22:59.000 They just sell like jackets and stuff.
01:22:59.000 Yeah.
01:23:01.000 It's awesome. 1.00
01:23:03.000 That'd be so cool if we had like some of these old. 1.00
01:23:06.000 Be cool if they still were like, if they were just still looking for the Northwest Passage. 1.00
01:23:10.000 Yeah.
01:23:10.000 Like if they get back to their roots.
01:23:11.000 Now they're just slinging jackets around.
01:23:14.000 Just more Oregon Trail.
01:23:16.000 Did you guys see this thing where a Chinese cargo ship was actually traversing the Arctic to get to England?
01:23:16.000 Yeah.
01:23:23.000 Really?
01:23:24.000 Yeah.
01:23:24.000 Trump was right.
01:23:25.000 Yeah.
01:23:25.000 Did it work?
01:23:26.000 Oh.
01:23:26.000 Yeah.
01:23:27.000 Good for them. 1.00
01:23:28.000 Except it's the Chinese. 1.00
01:23:29.000 That's part of the reason. 1.00
01:23:29.000 There you go. 1.00
01:23:31.000 There's Trump's whole thing about protect the Arctic.
01:23:33.000 Give me Greenland.
01:23:35.000 That's part of the reason why there's debate about who owns the islands north of the mainland of Japan.
01:23:43.000 Those islands basically.
01:23:47.000 It's a fight between Russia and Japan.
01:23:49.000 But I think there's also Chinese ports in there.
01:23:52.000 Well, China is teamed up with Russia on using the ports that Russia has to get over the Arctic.
01:23:57.000 Yeah.
01:23:58.000 Yeah.
01:23:58.000 But I mean.
01:23:59.000 China has the ports that are in the South China Sea, but there's the Strait of Malacca, there's India.
01:24:05.000 So, everything for China when it comes to getting out of China through overseaborne routes is problematic.
01:24:12.000 So, they're actually fighting for as much control over those trade routes as they can have. 0.99
01:24:18.000 The indigenous people up there, up in Hokkaido and the Kyrie Islands, the Ainu, they're bizarre looking.
01:24:26.000 They're really cool. 1.00
01:24:27.000 They're just like Japanese people, but with beards. 1.00
01:24:30.000 Like, it's like, oh, like, like Don Jr. beards, yeah. 1.00
01:24:33.000 Like, it's the biggest, most uncanny thing you've ever seen in your life. 0.99
01:24:36.000 It's like, it's a Japanese guy, but he's got like the most insane beard you've ever seen in your life. 1.00
01:24:39.000 That's kind of cool. 1.00
01:24:40.000 That's awesome.
01:24:41.000 I'm jealous.
01:24:41.000 I can't.
01:24:41.000 I'm half Asian, Malaysian.
01:24:44.000 I can't grow a beard.
01:24:45.000 With the Malaysian sensation, is that what they called you? 1.00
01:24:47.000 I guess they do.
01:24:48.000 Now I'll go with that.
01:24:49.000 Yeah.
01:24:50.000 The Malaysian sensation. 0.99
01:24:51.000 It will be tonight. 0.99
01:24:53.000 Can you grow a beard?
01:24:54.000 Not really.
01:24:56.000 No.
01:24:56.000 It's hard to grow a beard.
01:24:57.000 It's got to grow one, but it takes a long time.
01:25:00.000 It's the C section.
01:25:01.000 Ah, yeah.
01:25:02.000 There you go. 0.76
01:25:03.000 I thought it was the ginger. 1.00
01:25:04.000 I thought that was the problem. 0.99
01:25:05.000 Well, I look like Prince Harry, so I shave.
01:25:05.000 That's the problem.
01:25:07.000 Big problem.
01:25:09.000 Yeah.
01:25:10.000 Well, I thought that Prince Harry was like a.
01:25:13.000 It was like a handsome man.
01:25:16.000 Was, okay.
01:25:16.000 Was.
01:25:17.000 Then he had to settle. 0.93
01:25:19.000 And he had to settle for the Meghan Markle. 1.00
01:25:23.000 It makes it hard to watch suits. 0.85
01:25:25.000 Huh?
01:25:26.000 It makes it hard to watch suits. 0.99
01:25:27.000 She's in that.
01:25:28.000 Oh, I think he said to wear suits with a beard.
01:25:29.000 I was like, no, no, the show suits is great, but she's in it.
01:25:32.000 I hear they're going.
01:25:33.000 They're not really good in it either.
01:25:33.000 They're going.
01:25:34.000 They're going back to the UK, I hear.
01:25:36.000 She was in fringe, too.
01:25:37.000 No, they're back.
01:25:38.000 Oh, they are back.
01:25:39.000 Yeah, they're back.
01:25:40.000 So they changed their mind, didn't they?
01:25:40.000 Yeah, it was.
01:25:41.000 Wait.
01:25:41.000 Oh, I think.
01:25:42.000 Development like a day ago, they changed their mind.
01:25:44.000 They're getting ready for Trump.
01:25:44.000 They're staying.
01:25:49.000 They're singing songs.
01:25:50.000 For now, we're not going to play copyrighted music.
01:25:53.000 Nothing's going to stop us now.
01:25:54.000 Is that what I heard?
01:25:55.000 Is there it is?
01:25:57.000 No, it was royalty free music.
01:25:59.000 Yeah.
01:26:00.000 From the YouTube. 0.99
01:26:01.000 Just start screaming.
01:26:04.000 Yeah, that'd be good.
01:26:05.000 I remember, as a joke, I was on a plane and they had the free audiobooks or whatever.
01:26:05.000 Prince Harry's book.
01:26:11.000 And there was Prince Harry's book.
01:26:12.000 And I was so, I didn't download anything.
01:26:13.000 I forgot to.
01:26:14.000 So I get on there and I play it and I just skip to a random part and he's talking about his Todger.
01:26:18.000 His codger?
01:26:19.000 Todger.
01:26:20.000 What's a todger?
01:26:21.000 It's British slang for your whole situation.
01:26:25.000 Yeah, you're Mr. Winkles.
01:26:26.000 I gotcha. 1.00
01:26:27.000 For your garbage. 1.00
01:26:27.000 That's what you call it. 1.00
01:26:28.000 For your junk. 1.00
01:26:29.000 I call it C section. 0.99
01:26:32.000 Use different words. 1.00
01:26:32.000 British slang for your junk is todger. 1.00
01:26:35.000 It was Dr. Brian Hooker with the Children's Health Defense who was stacking the studies showing like C section, not breastfed, vaccines, like that stack, bro. 0.98
01:26:44.000 Oh, if you got the whole stack, dude.
01:26:46.000 You're done.
01:26:47.000 Basically, you're bioengineered already.
01:26:49.000 Yeah, you're like a cyborg, yeah.
01:26:51.000 I know.
01:26:52.000 I'm so I'm doing obviously the opposite with my kid, but we had three miscarriages before this.
01:26:59.000 This, yeah, thank you.
01:27:00.000 Um, this, this baby, so like you know, we had two boys, our seven, five year old, and then, and then three miscarriages.
01:27:06.000 Laurie's 42, my wife, so like we, we had to work it out.
01:27:09.000 Red light changed the game for us with the baby, like that baby, so healthy, right?
01:27:15.000 And nine pounds, um, super like the longest umbilical cord my midwife had seen.
01:27:22.000 It was like, wow, this stuff works, right?
01:27:26.000 And yeah, I just think about how our situation would have been if we didn't find solutions.
01:27:32.000 I never thought of measuring the umbilical cord.
01:27:34.000 Because what do they do with it?
01:27:35.000 Like they put it on like a hose reel and just like, my mom's like, oh, my God.
01:27:38.000 The other times you've delivered babies, you just haven't bothered to measure it.
01:27:40.000 I can't watch that stuff.
01:27:41.000 It's scary.
01:27:42.000 You just cut it and then it's beautiful.
01:27:45.000 You got to see it.
01:27:45.000 I mean, it'll be beautiful in its mind, but everyone else is terrifying.
01:27:49.000 I mean, I found it terrifying and I had a baby and I thought it was very scary.
01:27:52.000 Yeah.
01:27:53.000 You know, the thing that struck me about the umbilical cord the most is it was significantly more firm than I expected.
01:28:00.000 Yeah, it is.
01:28:00.000 Really?
01:28:00.000 Yeah.
01:28:01.000 It's like a rubber cord.
01:28:02.000 You swing on that thing.
01:28:03.000 But also, it's like really scientifically accurate.
01:28:07.000 It's way crazier than, I mean, it is exactly what I expected.
01:28:11.000 There was like a situation the mom could like drag the baby from the umbilical cord and like drag him along.
01:28:16.000 See that?
01:28:16.000 Didn't you hear that?
01:28:17.000 It's probably suboptimal, but yeah.
01:28:18.000 Yeah, that wouldn't be like great, but it would hurt.
01:28:21.000 But it sounds like, well, yeah, look at that, man.
01:28:29.000 Are you showing an umbilical cord?
01:28:30.000 Yeah.
01:28:30.000 That thing I'm going to do.
01:28:31.000 You don't want to see it.
01:28:33.000 That's terrifying.
01:28:34.000 That's hilarious.
01:28:37.000 I don't want to see an umbilical cord?
01:28:38.000 Why would I?
01:28:39.000 Why would I?
01:28:41.000 That's the way you work really hard on it.
01:28:48.000 You're a mother.
01:28:49.000 YouTube.
01:28:50.000 Oh, Vance.
01:28:51.000 Oh, Vance is speaking, huh?
01:28:53.000 Hello, Dallas.
01:28:53.000 Well, we'll grab Vance.
01:28:55.000 Trump's coming on next.
01:29:01.000 I do like JD Vance.
01:29:02.000 He's just better at this than Trump is, I think.
01:29:08.000 The delivery of the.
01:29:09.000 You like Rubio, too?
01:29:10.000 What do you think of Rubio?
01:29:11.000 Rubio's fantastic.
01:29:11.000 I like Rubio.
01:29:12.000 I think JD Vance.
01:29:13.000 I like both these guys.
01:29:14.000 Yeah, he can articulate for Trump better than Trump can.
01:29:16.000 It's pretty cool to hear a crowd that is this fired up chant your name.
01:29:20.000 So go ahead and do it again.
01:29:26.000 There's some Tim Cast member in there somewhere.
01:29:33.000 I have to start, ladies and gentlemen, with a note of gratitude to each and every single person in this room and each and every single person who's watching.
01:29:44.000 Whether you're in the convention hall with us or watching from home on TV, you are here tonight because you love this country and we're not going to let it go backwards.
01:30:03.000 Two years ago, we have to remember our nation, ladies and gentlemen, was tired.
01:30:09.000 We were tired of seeing our factories close.
01:30:12.000 We were tired of our neighbors dying of drug overdoses.
01:30:16.000 We were tired of not being able to afford anything.
01:30:19.000 We were tired of seeing the cartels and the criminals given free reign over our great country.
01:30:26.000 And we were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer and less safe and less prosperous.
01:30:43.000 By the end of 2024, you were tired.
01:30:46.000 We were tired as a country, but you were not defeated.
01:30:51.000 The radicals in Washington, they could take much from us, but they couldn't take our will to fight back.
01:31:05.000 And so all of us came together on November the 5th, and we sent the toughest SOB in American politics back to the White House, and we made Donald J. Trump the 47th president of the United States.
01:31:23.000 Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is a joyful occasion for me.
01:31:28.000 I see the great state of Ohio right here in the front row.
01:31:36.000 But I gotta be honest, it's also a somber occasion for me personally, and I know for so many of you out there, because the last time that I addressed.
01:31:48.000 That's a convention of my fellow Republicans.
01:31:51.000 Remember, just two years ago, I had just become the Republican nominee for Vice President of the United States.
01:31:58.000 I was.
01:32:02.000 I was a brand new senator.
01:32:03.000 I'd been in politics for all of a year and a half.
01:32:05.000 I guess the president likes outsiders.
01:32:08.000 I was nervous.
01:32:10.000 Think about it.
01:32:11.000 I was speaking on the biggest stage of my life, and I'd been in politics for barely a year and a half.
01:32:16.000 But I will never forget that as I made that speech, as I addressed the country on the biggest stage of my life, In the front row, right about there, my dear friend Charlie Kirk was smiling and cheering me and reminding me that I had a good friend right here in the convention hall.
01:32:41.000 And of course, after I was elected Vice President of the United States, one year ago today, on September the 10th of last year, that good friend was taken from us when Charlie was assassinated.
01:32:55.000 Now, Charlie left behind two children, two little kids, they were too young to fully understand, and a wife, the amazing Erica, who has carried on his mission with more courage and resolve than most of us will ever be asked to show.
01:33:12.000 We love you, Erica.
01:33:20.000 But to those sweet kids, I don't imagine they're watching tonight, they're still very young, but I hope that one day they will watch and they will know and they will understand what I'm trying to say to them tonight.
01:33:32.000 Though they may not appreciate it today, history will record that your father was a great man.
01:34:04.000 But those of us who loved your dad, we knew him as something even better than a great man.
01:34:11.000 He was a good man.
01:34:13.000 And I want you to know what your dad knew.
01:34:17.000 Scripture says that God is a father to the fatherless, that every one of us is adopted into his family.
01:34:28.000 And as the Apostle Paul told us as he wrote to the Romans, if we are his children, then we are also his heirs.
01:34:35.000 We have inherited.
01:34:36.000 We are entitled to inherit something straight from God the Father.
01:34:47.000 Now, we live, of course, in an imperfect world of fallen men.
01:34:50.000 We live in the city of man, not the city of God.
01:34:54.000 But I believe that our founders built this nation on a promise that echoes our Creator that every American child is born an heir, is born with a birthright, born with the right to inherit the blessings of the greatest country on earth, not because of who their parents are, not because of what they look like or where they come from, but because they are Americans and this is our country.
01:35:31.000 And that birthright, ladies and gentlemen, is what this November is all about.
01:35:37.000 Now, Charlie spoke to young men in particular.
01:35:40.000 He was a young man himself, and he understood where they were coming from.
01:35:44.000 He understood that there was no greater calling for a young man, and he would tell people this, than falling in love, starting a family, and becoming a father.
01:35:53.000 He would tell young men around the country that ultimately you wouldn't care what your job was or where you went to school, but you would care about your family.
01:36:03.000 And of course, I've thought a lot about those words, a lot about those words in the last year, but particularly a lot about those words over the last six weeks.
01:36:13.000 Because as many of you know, in July, my beautiful Usha gave birth to a baby boy, Little Alec, just six weeks ago.
01:36:24.000 Baby. I'm sure she's there.
01:36:29.000 And I will say that you should have been there when the organizers of the midterm RNC asked my wife.
01:36:36.000 Who had a two week old baby and three other kids that are very young?
01:36:41.000 If she would come to Dallas, Texas to introduce her husband, and she said, Hell no, I got four kids to take care of.
01:36:54.000 But she sends her love, and I know she's watching it at home.
01:36:58.000 And I've thought a lot, ladies and gentlemen, about what is the birthright of this newest of Americans, my little boy.
01:37:08.000 He is now our fellow citizen, though he doesn't know it.
01:37:11.000 And I think about what the Democrats have said about our shared birthright as Americans, or frankly, the lack thereof.
01:37:21.000 In Michigan, one Democrat in particular, one candidate has said, and I quote F the nuclear family.
01:37:35.000 F the nuclear family.
01:37:37.000 What are you even talking about?
01:37:38.000 These hateful words come not from a love of country.
01:37:43.000 They come not from a desire to serve you or our fellow Americans, but they come from a very deep emptiness in the soul.
01:37:51.000 It is the nuclear family.
01:37:54.000 It is inside of that nuclear family where I watch my four year old little girl, little Mira, beg to feed a bottle to her new baby brother.
01:38:05.000 It's inside of the nuclear family where Alex's older siblings just a couple of weeks ago witnessed the wonder of a new baby's very first smile.
01:38:17.000 It's inside of that family where I've seen Usha show an almost divine patience with those four kids.
01:38:26.000 And so, to the radicals who wish to abolish my family and the thousands and millions of other families all across our country, we have a simple message for them stay the hell away from our kids.
01:39:01.000 Now, because we got a new kid around, I can't help but look at the future of this country through the eyes of the future of my son.
01:39:09.000 And I can't help but think about what it is that we're fighting for and what it is that we want for all of our children.
01:39:16.000 Now, I, of course, I want my son to grow up healthy and strong.
01:39:20.000 I want him to have access to clean water and real food.
01:39:26.000 I want him to live in a country where you don't need a PhD in chemistry to understand the ingredient list in the grocery store.
01:39:35.000 That is an infuriating thing.
01:39:38.000 I want to live in a country where my son's doctors answer to parents and to the Hippocratic Oath, not to a bunch of far left bureaucrats.
01:39:54.000 I want him to get a real education.
01:39:56.000 He's going to grow up and go to school.
01:39:57.000 I want him to go to a school that teaches him to read, to write, that reaches him arithmetic, that teaches him to love his country and his fellow citizens.
01:40:10.000 And what I want for my family, I want for your family too.
01:40:18.000 That's my job.
01:40:19.000 My job is to fight for every single person in this room, every person watching at home, as if they were my own family, as if they were my own kin.
01:40:34.000 And so I don't just want these things for my kids, I want them for your kids too.
01:40:38.000 I want our daughters to compete on a fair field where no politician tells a little girl she's got to surrender her trophy, her scholarship, or her locker room to a man.
01:41:05.000 I want our sons to have a fair shot at a good job, and I want that for our daughters too.
01:41:12.000 I want, whether they work in tech or manufacturing, American businesses to hire American workers, to rely on American people, and to ensure that we build the next generation of great American products with American hands.
01:41:36.000 I want our children to be safe, ladies and gentlemen.
01:41:38.000 I want them to be safe on their streets, safe in their schools, living peacefully in neighborhoods where the law protects the innocent and throws the violent criminals in prison where they belong.
01:41:56.000 I want them to be free to worship to the dictates of their own conscience.
01:42:01.000 And I want our children to grow up in a country that doesn't roll its eyes at people who pray, but remembers that this country itself was an answer to prayer 250 years ago.
01:42:25.000 And I think, like most parents, I want my kids to do the most important thing.
01:42:30.000 I want them to fall in love.
01:42:32.000 I want them to find somebody who's worth building a life with.
01:42:37.000 And I want them to be able to afford a home where they can raise their children in peace and prosperity and comfort. 1.00
01:42:46.000 It's all old people there, so nobody's really all that moved by that. 1.00
01:42:51.000 I want them to know the pride of saving up for something, of buying something big and real that they're proud of without being outbid by Wall Street tycoons. 1.00
01:43:05.000 I want them to keep what they've earned when they work hard.
01:43:08.000 And that is the birthright that I'm talking about.
01:43:11.000 That is the country that Donald J. Trump is fighting every single day to defend and to build upon.
01:43:25.000 And while the president works every day to build upon that great nation, every single day the far left is working right now to make sure that your children never see that birthright.
01:43:53.000 A mix of booze and USA Chance.
01:43:55.000 Yeah, that's wild.
01:44:00.000 Confusing.
01:44:01.000 People are confused.
01:44:04.000 Wait a minute.
01:44:13.000 So, what the people at home missed is that we just had a protester interrupting us and waving the Mexican flag.
01:44:22.000 Oh, interesting. 1.00
01:44:28.000 Well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there. 1.00
01:44:31.000 I'll buy you the plane ticket. 1.00
01:44:34.000 Yeah, I mean, go back to Mexico. 1.00
01:44:39.000 That is the proper response. 0.99
01:44:41.000 Go back to Mexico. 1.00
01:44:41.000 They're close, they're in Texas. 1.00
01:44:43.000 We're so glad they have us in Dallas.
01:44:45.000 We're back.
01:44:46.000 We are back.
01:44:47.000 Monterey's pretty nice, too.
01:44:50.000 I like Mexico.
01:44:54.000 It's wild to me that they're like, it's terrible. 0.83
01:44:56.000 I don't know.
01:44:56.000 I'm like, what?
01:44:57.000 I love it.
01:44:58.000 Sean is great.
01:44:58.000 Mexico City's fantastic.
01:44:59.000 No races. 1.00
01:45:00.000 I don't want them to deal with us. 1.00
01:45:01.000 I mean, we're a basketball case.
01:45:03.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:45:04.000 Mexico is significantly better. 0.98
01:45:05.000 We should go back. 1.00
01:45:17.000 I had, ladies and gentlemen, I had a whole speech written. 0.98
01:45:25.000 But I think I got to change it because we just discovered the symbol of the far left an idiot waving an American flag or a Mexican flag at a protest when he should be waving the flag of the United States of America. 0.97
01:45:40.000 That would have been a great little clip if you hadn't fumbled it. 0.99
01:45:43.000 Yeah.
01:45:43.000 Wow.
01:45:52.000 Crowd made up for it, though.
01:45:53.000 There you go. 0.56
01:46:00.000 Now, we all know, of course, that as much as that person might wave around a foreign flag, he'd much rather live in Dallas or in Cincinnati or in any one of our great cities than Mexico.
01:46:16.000 But while we wave the American flag and fight for the American dream, we have to remind ourselves tonight.
01:46:24.000 That the good life that is the foundation of this country's promise is not guaranteed.
01:46:30.000 We have to remember that a safe home, a good school, a happy family, a future that is better than the past, every generation of Americans has had to fight for these things when it's our turn.
01:46:52.000 And this fall, the Democrats are running candidates who will tell your children what they're allowed to say, how they're allowed to live, and importantly, who they ought to hate.
01:47:02.000 Because that's what the Democrat Party is about in 2026.
01:47:06.000 It's not about you, it's about foreign fraudsters, and it's about who they hate. 1.00
01:47:11.000 And we got to send their asses packing in November. 0.99
01:47:23.000 We got to send a message this November that the country does not belong to the radicals. 0.99
01:47:30.000 It does not belong to the bureaucrats.
01:47:33.000 It does not belong to the highest bidder.
01:47:35.000 This country was handed down to us by our parents and their parents before them.
01:47:40.000 We received this national birthright, and we are going to fight for it by electing Republicans this November.
01:48:15.000 This one dude real close to the mic.
01:48:23.000 If you're ever feeling down about our country, ladies and gentlemen, just take a look at the beautiful ladies right behind me. 0.94
01:48:33.000 Please. 0.83
01:48:36.000 And ladies, I'd like to know what you had to drink because I'll take two of them when I'm done.
01:48:44.000 We've got to take stock, my friends, we've got to take stock of what we've accomplished.
01:48:50.000 When we came into office.
01:48:57.000 What did they say?
01:48:58.000 80-28.
01:48:58.000 Okay.
01:49:14.000 Can we please?
01:49:15.000 We got to take care of business this November, then we'll worry about what comes next.
01:49:24.000 When we came into office, when we came into office just 18 months ago, so many of our fellow Americans sensed that they'd been robbed of their chance to build a good life.
01:49:35.000 They worried they'd never be able to afford a home, a family.
01:49:40.000 Or a real stake in the country that all of us love.
01:49:43.000 Consider how life changed for Americans coming of age during those terrible Biden years.
01:49:49.000 Workers' wages fell by three grand.
01:49:52.000 That's not an exaggeration.
01:49:54.000 Prices rose 20% across the board, the worst inflation in a generation.
01:50:00.000 And I always loved when we said this, the president and I would go during the campaign, we'd say, you know, inflation is as high as it's been in 100 years.
01:50:10.000 And the fake news would say, no, no, no, it's as high as it's been in 68 years.
01:50:15.000 That ain't good, ladies and gentlemen.
01:50:19.000 In just four short years, the cost of a home under Joe Biden doubled.
01:50:25.000 And Americans who were finishing school suddenly found themselves competing not against their fellow Americans for jobs, but against 25 million new illegal immigrants, not just for jobs, but for homes as well.
01:50:42.000 Our nation became a place. 0.60
01:50:44.000 Where you had to be rich to enjoy what used to be the birthright of every ordinary middle class life.
01:50:53.000 It became a country where violent crime exploded, unless, of course, you could afford private security.
01:50:59.000 And it wasn't just that things became more expensive, it's that our country was stolen from us and then handed out to strangers.
01:51:08.000 Think just one case, one of the fraud cases that we charged last May, where two women, one of them born in Somalia, defrauded Medicaid of $46.
01:51:19.000 Million dollars. 0.70
01:51:20.000 Good Lord.
01:51:24.000 How did they do it?
01:51:26.000 They did it by creating fake autism clinics and then having their friends sign up and pretend to have kids on the spectrum.
01:51:35.000 And that's millions of dollars that ordinary American parents needed to help their special needs children, but instead went to foreign kickbacks and spending sprees for fraudsters.
01:51:49.000 And what did the Democrats do?
01:51:51.000 When the fraud they turned a blind eye to reached these catastrophic levels, we found $250 billion of fraud just since the president made me the fraud czar.
01:52:08.000 When Medicaid programs for homeless or expecting mothers in states like Minnesota and Wisconsin began to fall apart because the money that you had paid to support those expectant mothers was going to fraudsters.
01:52:22.000 Here's what the Democrats did they refused to prosecute the crime, and by the way, they called everybody who noticed their fraud racist for noticing that there were people stealing from our children and our new and expectant mothers.
01:52:40.000 The Democrat legacy of the last few years was that they bankrupted our country and left us poorer.
01:52:47.000 They left our country weaker.
01:52:49.000 They left our border wide open and our communities less safe.
01:52:52.000 Their record, my friends, speaks for itself.
01:52:55.000 And rather than admit error and change course, of course, they are doubling down on the crazy.
01:53:01.000 In primary after primary, we have watched the few reasonable Democrats lose to extremists who openly hate our nation.
01:53:11.000 Our flag waving friend over there is actually the new congressional delegate for New York 14.
01:53:19.000 He's here campaigning.
01:53:24.000 But you gotta ask if it's not love a country, what is it that drives this new generation of radical Democrats?
01:53:30.000 It's not new policies. 0.81
01:53:32.000 They'll say the same stuff defund the police, abolish the border, the Green News scam. 0.96
01:53:37.000 We've heard all this stuff before. 0.97
01:53:40.000 But I think that what's new about them is what motivates them is a new type.
01:53:45.000 Of hardcore hatred.
01:53:47.000 Now, don't take my word for it.
01:53:49.000 Listen to what these people have actually said in their own words.
01:53:53.000 In Manhattan this November, you have Democrat candidates who declare their life goal is, and I quote, the total eradication of Western civilization.
01:54:09.000 A few years ago, they cheered on the most horrific slaughter of innocent civilian Jews that we have seen in a generation.
01:54:17.000 In Lansing, In Lansing, you have Democrats who call for, quote, destroying the American way of life.
01:54:29.000 And in Texas, you have Democrats, grown men, who seem to be pretty obsessed with trans children.
01:54:42.000 I gotta say, the president's very good at nicknames, but Tala Frico maybe tops the list.
01:54:47.000 Yeah.
01:54:48.000 That was good.
01:54:48.000 Did he come up with it?
01:54:51.000 Tala Frico.
01:54:53.000 Yeah, Trump last night.
01:54:55.000 But this Tallarico guy, he will not shut up about how there are six genders.
01:55:01.000 He will not shut up about how, quote, God is non binary.
01:55:04.000 I don't know what the hell that even means, my friends.
01:55:08.000 He won't shut up about having traditional Christian values makes you a bigot.
01:55:13.000 And I got to say, a guy that age who is so obsessed and focused on transgender children, I don't know about you, but I never want to see that guy's web browser history.
01:55:23.000 Whoa. 0.97
01:55:24.000 He's trying to call him a pedo. 0.85
01:55:26.000 That's a really roundabout way of saying that. 0.56
01:55:29.000 Yeah, but it's pretty clear also.
01:55:31.000 Yeah.
01:55:32.000 In Denver, Colorado, you have Democrats who say that 9 11 was inevitable, who offer justifications for terrorists who murdered 3,000 of our fellow citizens.
01:55:44.000 And in Michigan, it's even worse.
01:55:46.000 They're campaigning with radicals who explicitly say that America deserved the 9 11 attacks.
01:55:53.000 Hassan Piker is a gift.
01:55:56.000 He really is.
01:55:57.000 Candidates who, when they're not calling to repeal the Second Amendment, they will attack you as a literal white supremacist if you dare to criticize Sharia law.
01:56:10.000 In the great state of New York, congressional Democrats tell us that the July 4th celebration is really about the liberation of Palestine and Puerto Rico.
01:56:21.000 I can't even say that without laughing.
01:56:24.000 Can you just imagine?
01:56:26.000 Thomas Jefferson writing away all about.
01:56:30.000 The liberation of Palestine and Puerto Rico.
01:56:35.000 And these aren't media personalities, these aren't weirdos on social media, these are the candidates that Congressional Democrats have put forth for you to vote for in November.
01:56:46.000 They asked, my friends, for a one way ticket to Washington to legislate and regulate and wield power over your lives.
01:56:55.000 Instead, in my opinion, they need a one way ticket to a mental hospital.
01:56:59.000 Let's talk about mental hospitals.
01:57:10.000 Now, we're all having a good time as fellow Republicans celebrating what we've achieved and looking forward to accomplishing a lot more.
01:57:19.000 But I know there are a lot of people who are watching on TV who aren't always sold, and I want to speak directly to them, not to the faithful, but to the people who are still making up their minds.
01:57:28.000 The people on the margins, the people who are still a little unsure who they're going to vote for.
01:57:35.000 Some people who love some of our policies, but maybe don't agree with others.
01:57:39.000 Young men, many of whom felt inspired by Charlie Kirk, but are unhappy with some of what has happened in the wake of his death.
01:57:48.000 And I want to speak directly to that group because I think Charlie is a great example of how to disagree but still participate in the work of saving this country.
01:58:06.000 Charlie, ladies and gentlemen, was dedicated to this movement.
01:58:10.000 In this country, he loved, and I do mean loved, the President of the United States.
01:58:15.000 But in the eight months or so that we were in office before Charlie died, I talked to him a lot, almost every day.
01:58:22.000 And Charlie was still a free thinker with his own principles and views.
01:58:26.000 He did not always agree with us.
01:58:29.000 Let me just give you one example.
01:58:31.000 Charlie hated war.
01:58:33.000 Whether it was Europe or Africa, the Middle East, he didn't care.
01:58:36.000 He just hated war.
01:58:38.000 That was his view.
01:58:40.000 Now, of course, there are people.
01:58:43.000 Who love what we've done and people who don't?
01:58:44.000 I'm not here to litigate the disagreements between Charlie and some of the people that he disagreed with.
01:58:50.000 But what I'm asking you to do is do what Charlie did do not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
01:58:56.000 Don't. 0.53
01:59:03.000 Don't give the country over to a bunch of crazy people because you happen to disagree with us on a policy issue here or there.
01:59:11.000 Look, I'm not asking anybody to agree with me on every single issue. 0.82
01:59:16.000 I'm not asking anybody to agree on every single policy of the administration.
01:59:21.000 What I am asking you to do is to recognize the contrast with the radicals and recognize the achievements of the last 18 months.
01:59:29.000 We have done a lot, my friends, and we can do a lot more if we fight together.
01:59:58.000 You know, Donald Trump's administration, it's not just the first government in the last 80 years to actually stop a border invasion, it's the first in the last 80 years to reverse the border invasion.
02:00:16.000 Under Donald Trump's leadership, we have seen the foreign born share of our population drop by 3 million people. 0.63
02:00:23.000 That's illegal aliens that we sent back home. 0.96
02:00:32.000 Under Donald Trump's leadership, we've created 1 million new jobs. 0.78
02:00:37.000 And unlike the last administration, where most of the job growth went to illegal aliens, 100% of the job growth in the United States of America is going to American citizens, which is exactly where it belongs.
02:00:56.000 For my entire life, I saw corporations ship jobs overseas and be rewarded by Washington.
02:01:02.000 Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime to crack down on people shipping our jobs overseas and fight for American businesses and American workers for a change.
02:01:19.000 We've seen the largest drop of violent crime in the history of the United States of America because we back the police and throw the bad guys in prison.
02:01:28.000 It's not rocket science.
02:01:29.000 I think it's a way better speech than taxes.
02:01:35.000 We've ended taxes on Social Security.
02:01:37.000 We've ended taxes on tips and we've ended taxes on overtime.
02:01:40.000 That's a substantive.
02:01:41.000 We have banned corporate tycoons from buying up our housing stock because we hold the simple belief that American homes ought to go to the American people.
02:01:57.000 And this is my favorite.
02:01:58.000 Under the leadership of the President and Bobby Kennedy, we did what generations of Democrat politicians promised but failed to do.
02:02:07.000 We actually took on Big Pharma and lowered drug costs for all of our citizens.
02:02:23.000 Now, I'm obviously biased, but I think that's a great record of achievement.
02:02:26.000 But compare it to the Democrats who want to allow open borders, allow pharma companies to experiment on your kids, they want to raise your taxes, and they want to abolish their family in their own words.
02:02:40.000 We just want common sense and we want you to have a better life.
02:02:44.000 The contrast in this election, ladies and gentlemen, it's not about this or that policy.
02:02:49.000 It's about the party of common sense beating the Party of the crazies. 0.89
02:02:54.000 Let's send these lunatics pack in and govern our country for the future. 0.65
02:03:13.000 A few weeks back, I got to visit the steel mill. 0.90
02:03:18.000 I love y'all.
02:03:30.000 A few weeks back.
02:03:44.000 I gotta tell you, a very personal and important thing to me is a few weeks back, one of the most amazing honors I've had as vice president is I got to visit the steel mill where my grandfather worked for 40 years in my hometown of Middletown, Ohio.
02:04:04.000 And standing on that floor, I thought about my papaw, that's what I called him, and the 40 years he spent there as a union welder.
02:04:11.000 I thought about what he wanted out of this country, out of his government.
02:04:15.000 He wanted happy, healthy families.
02:04:18.000 He wanted low taxes.
02:04:20.000 He wanted a government that would look out for him and make sure his people had good jobs so long as they were willing to work hard and play by the rules.
02:04:28.000 Simple stuff, easy stuff, common sense, good government stuff.
02:04:33.000 And despite everything that's changed since he died, the things he wanted are the things that I want, and I think the things that every American patriot wants for our country.
02:04:44.000 We want it for ourselves, we want it for our families, we want it for our children.
02:04:49.000 We want it for our fellow Americans.
02:04:52.000 But right after that visit, something interesting happened.
02:04:55.000 The man the Democrats are running for Senate in the great state of Michigan, his name is Abdul El Sayed.
02:05:08.000 He saw me describing what a decent man, and my papaw was genuinely a decent and good man.
02:05:15.000 He saw me talking about my papaw and his work and his history and what he loved and what he cared about. 0.82
02:05:21.000 And you know what old Abdul did?
02:05:23.000 He asked mockingly whether I'd be willing to bring Usha back in time to meet Papaw.
02:05:32.000 This is what he thinks of my grandfather, a man I loved and who loved his family unconditionally.
02:05:38.000 Abdul looks at him, sees the color of his skin, sees his background, and decides that he could never have loved my wife. 0.77
02:05:47.000 Now, the shocking thing is that Abdul himself was raised by his own white wife. 0.76
02:05:53.000 Step grandparents.
02:05:54.000 He knows exactly that kind of bond and what it looks like in a family.
02:05:59.000 And he chose, anyway, to say that a man like my grandfather couldn't have loved from the bottom of his heart someone who looks like Usha.
02:06:07.000 Well, thanks be to God that my papaw was a better man than Abdul El Syed because I guarantee you he'd love my family every bit as much.
02:06:22.000 But, look, I'm not just here to defend the honor of my papaw.
02:06:28.000 I'm here to tell you this is who the Democrats are now, my friends. 0.92
02:06:32.000 They're not just the party of a little higher taxes, maybe some dumb regulations.
02:06:37.000 They're not the party of FDR or JFK.
02:06:40.000 Hell, they're not even the party of Bill Clinton anymore. 0.98
02:06:44.000 The Democrats are the party of hatred. 0.98
02:06:48.000 They're the party that despises America and the people who built it.
02:06:53.000 They're the party that can find sympathy for the terrorists who perpetrated 9 11, but they say that people with names like James Vance, Are incapable of loving people with names like Usha, and they couldn't be more wrong. 0.99
02:07:10.000 They just plumb hate white people. 0.97
02:07:11.000 Yeah, they do hate it. 1.00
02:07:12.000 That's it.
02:07:13.000 They do.
02:07:15.000 Ladies and gentlemen, because the Democrats have become such a nightmare, we can never, we will never let them win.
02:07:24.000 We're going to beat them back in November.
02:07:32.000 Do you think they will beat them back in November or no?
02:07:35.000 Oh, man.
02:07:37.000 So, I'm asking you, my fellow Republicans, to remember that this November is so much more than red team versus blue team.
02:07:37.000 Yemen.
02:07:44.000 It's so much more than having good politicians in Washington. 0.96
02:07:48.000 It's about sending a message to the Democratic Party that if you send your crazies, we're going to send you packing. 0.78
02:07:54.000 There you go.
02:08:02.000 It's about fighting for our fellow citizens, for their dreams, and for the inheritance of a great nation that all of us are going to leave behind.
02:08:09.000 So I've got to ask my fellow Republicans are we ready to do what we need to do in November?
02:08:26.000 Every American, whether they've been here for 10 years or 10 minutes, deserves the sacred inheritance of the United States of America.
02:08:35.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this November, let's give it to them.
02:08:38.000 Let's fight for our people. 0.92
02:08:40.000 Let's send the Democrats packing.
02:08:41.000 And let's never forget that America belongs to those who love it, not those who hate it.
02:08:46.000 God bless you.
02:08:47.000 And thank you for having me.
02:08:51.000 They said Trump was scheduled at 9 30, but I guess now we'll see.
02:08:57.000 He promised us like five minutes yesterday at least.
02:09:00.000 I like the line, America belongs to those who love it and not those who hate it.
02:09:03.000 I like that too.
02:09:04.000 That actually reminds me of the thing Tim always says about free speech for those who uphold free speech and not for those who don't.
02:09:12.000 Yeah.
02:09:16.000 This is really interesting that people like him so much.
02:09:19.000 I mean, he articulates, he's very good.
02:09:21.000 He's way better than Trump does.
02:09:22.000 Yeah, he does.
02:09:22.000 It's promising.
02:09:23.000 And without further ado, I think Trump Jr. does his work.
02:09:25.000 I got to introduce the man who's going to introduce the greatest president.
02:09:28.000 Here we go.
02:09:29.000 And he's going to introduce the man who's going to introduce him.
02:09:31.000 Right.
02:09:32.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Please join me in welcoming the great Lee Greenwood and the President of the United States.
02:09:40.000 Oh, there we go.
02:09:41.000 You got to have the theme song.
02:09:41.000 Oh, yeah.
02:09:44.000 The song, yes.
02:09:46.000 Of the intro.
02:09:48.000 Hello, Patriot.
02:09:49.000 Chubb loves this guy.
02:09:50.000 Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
02:09:52.000 That's a hell of a job, though.
02:09:53.000 You're going to write one song, you got to write these songs.
02:09:57.000 I mean, look, man.
02:09:58.000 When you get a big hit, you got to ride that baby.
02:10:03.000 It happens to be like America's theme song.
02:10:07.000 Just my children and my wife.
02:10:07.000 Better.
02:10:07.000 Yeah.
02:10:12.000 Thank my lucky stars to be living here today.
02:10:16.000 Cause our flag still stands for freedom.
02:10:21.000 And they can't take that away.
02:10:37.000 Don't forget the men who died.
02:10:46.000 in her stew today.
02:10:55.000 Last time you It was a sentence joke from the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee.
02:11:16.000 I think he joked about it a bit.
02:11:19.000 He's a fan, he's a fan.
02:11:21.000 He's a fan.
02:11:22.000 He's a fan.
02:11:22.000 From the sea to the sun to the sea.
02:11:25.000 Detroit down to Houston.
02:11:28.000 And New York to LA.
02:11:29.000 There's pride in every American heart.
02:11:34.000 And it's time we stand and say.
02:12:40.000 Cause there'll be
02:13:16.000 Who's our guy that's supposed to be behind Trump?
02:13:21.000 Where's the guy?
02:13:25.000 Yeah.
02:13:26.000 Thank you very much, everybody.
02:13:27.000 He's up there.
02:13:28.000 He's watching.
02:13:29.000 I want to thank our great vice president.
02:13:32.000 What a job he did tonight.
02:13:34.000 You know, the Democrats are getting nervous.
02:13:39.000 They said if we did a midterm convention, nobody would show up.
02:13:43.000 This place is packed.
02:13:44.000 It was packed last night.
02:13:49.000 But even more important, Is the spirit.
02:13:51.000 The spirit, I'm watching from backstage and I'm seeing spirit like we haven't seen in this country for a long time.
02:14:01.000 Long time.
02:14:03.000 But it came back about a year and a half ago.
02:14:07.000 We went through four years of embarrassment, hurt, harm, sickness, filth.
02:14:15.000 It was bad, but now it's good and it's going to soon be greater than ever before, better than ever before.
02:14:22.000 It's going to be It's going to be something very special.
02:14:27.000 And I'm going to be a little bit brief because last night I spoke for two hours.
02:14:34.000 And I don't feel like going over the same material again.
02:14:39.000 Material.
02:14:41.000 It's a set.
02:14:42.000 What I'm going to do tonight is a little bit different.
02:14:45.000 We all love music, right?
02:14:48.000 We're going to get a little music.
02:14:49.000 I'm going to stand on the stage at the end with.
02:14:53.000 Our great opera star, Christopher Macchio, and he's going to sing America the Beautiful, Nessa Dorma, and All I Ask of You from the Phantom of the Opera.
02:15:06.000 And we're going to have a good time listening to music because I'm getting a little bit tired of politics now.
02:15:12.000 I'm bored with work.
02:15:15.000 So I'll be brief.
02:15:16.000 Is it Friday yet?
02:15:17.000 I'll be brief.
02:15:19.000 I don't know if you should be brief or should I not be brief?
02:15:22.000 They have one job.
02:15:27.000 That's right.
02:15:28.000 They have literally one job.
02:15:31.000 It's the biggest job.
02:15:32.000 I look forward to it.
02:15:33.000 I did a three and a half hour podcast the other night.
02:15:36.000 Yeah.
02:15:37.000 I'm not complaining.
02:15:37.000 Yeah.
02:15:38.000 You didn't hear me talking about it.
02:15:41.000 To be fair, when Trump was speaking, we had a two hour break.
02:15:43.000 Yeah.
02:15:45.000 Thank you very much.
02:15:45.000 Yeah.
02:15:45.000 All right.
02:15:48.000 What a great country.
02:15:49.000 What a great country we have.
02:15:52.000 What a great country.
02:15:55.000 I just want to thank everybody.
02:15:57.000 This has been so amazing.
02:15:59.000 You know, maybe this is going to be happening at midterms again, and maybe not.
02:16:04.000 We're going to find out.
02:16:05.000 But based on this, I would say we're going to be doing a lot.
02:16:10.000 Perhaps I'll be here.
02:16:11.000 I'll be standing with you one of these days.
02:16:14.000 But you are a very special group.
02:16:21.000 So I look forward to the performance, and he's considered, as you know, really one of the most brilliant since a very good friend of mine.
02:16:30.000 The late, great Luciano Pavarotti.
02:16:33.000 So, we're going to have a lot of fun.
02:16:36.000 But less than two years ago, the American people gave us a mandate to save America.
02:16:43.000 And in 19 months, I've delivered on every single promise I made.
02:16:48.000 And I think I delivered.
02:16:50.000 That's not true.
02:16:52.000 Community notes on this speech here.
02:16:55.000 Joe Biden.
02:16:57.000 I really wish for it from fact checkers that have been working on the worst inflation in America.
02:17:02.000 I don't know, war? 0.99
02:17:02.000 They gave us wide open borders with 20 million people pouring in from Iran. 0.99
02:17:08.000 He said Iran will never have nuclear weapons.
02:17:09.000 He has maintained that. 0.99
02:17:10.000 They turned our cities into scenes of death and misery, murder, poverty, and destruction, and made America a laughing stock.
02:17:18.000 We were a laughing stock all over the world.
02:17:21.000 But we took that dark age of America and turned it into the golden age of America.
02:17:36.000 We delivered the largest tax cuts in American history, the largest regulation cuts in American history.
02:17:44.000 The largest investment in our military in the history of our country, and made America the energy and military superpower of the world.
02:17:55.000 We're the superpower of the world.
02:18:04.000 I built almost 2,000 miles of wall and created the strongest, most secure border that America has ever seen.
02:18:16.000 And it was just announced, you saw that, that we achieved the lowest level of violent crime in 125 years since the year 1900.
02:18:32.000 We gave you the largest drop in prescription drug prices ever recorded.
02:18:38.000 And I wish the news would report it.
02:18:40.000 I wish the fake media would report it, but they just don't want to do that.
02:18:45.000 With discounts of 60, 70, 80, and even 90% in many cases, we have cuts.
02:18:52.000 You remember when I announced I was the only one in 28 years that cut drug prices in my first term?
02:18:59.000 One eighth of 1%.
02:19:00.000 I was so proud of it because nobody's ever done it from January to December.
02:19:05.000 And now we're cutting your prices by 50, 60, 70%.
02:19:08.000 80%, and a couple of cases, 90%.
02:19:16.000 We went from the highest prescription drug prices by far anywhere in the world to the lowest prescription drug prices anywhere in the world.
02:19:30.000 And that alone should get us a big victory in our midterms that are coming up.
02:19:36.000 Get out and vote, please.
02:19:40.000 Get out and vote.
02:19:43.000 The stock market has set 80 all time record highs.
02:19:47.000 Think of it in a short period of time.
02:19:50.000 80, 80 days we sit records, and more Americans are working today than ever before.
02:19:58.000 Your 401ks, by the way, are up $44,000 on average, $44,000, and most of you much higher than that. 0.83
02:20:09.000 We terminated all. 0.59
02:20:10.000 Diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates all across the federal government. 1.00
02:20:19.000 We banned transgender ideology and critical race theory in our schools. 1.00
02:20:26.000 And ended the transgender mutilization of our beautiful children. 1.00
02:20:31.000 There you go, there you go. 1.00
02:20:33.000 It's an official out.
02:20:35.000 It's a real world.
02:20:36.000 It's a real world.
02:20:37.000 And as you know, we had big court victories on this. 0.58
02:20:42.000 We will not have men playing in women's sports. 0.97
02:20:49.000 Crazy, we gotta say that.
02:20:51.000 And if the radical left Democrats and communists win this election, they're promising to confiscate your wealth, tax your social security, abolish no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
02:21:06.000 They're going to defund the police, giving voting rights and welfare to 25.
02:21:12.000 Million illegal aliens, destroy Texas oil and gas, thereby doubling and tripling your taxes, have men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody, the mutilation of your children, and set loose criminals to rape and kill like we had just two years ago.
02:21:36.000 What we went through, we went through hell.
02:21:42.000 If we win the midterms, we will, on the other hand, Provide a, let's call it Trump dividend, $5,000 for every adult citizen in our country.
02:21:58.000 And we can do that because our country has never done better.
02:22:01.000 We're taking in trillions, trillions of dollars.
02:22:05.000 There's never been any country, not even close, that's come anywhere near.
02:22:11.000 So it's five, we win $5,000 for every adult.
02:22:17.000 We love our adults.
02:22:18.000 It's about time we take care of our adults.
02:22:23.000 And we will make all Trump tax cuts.
02:22:26.000 We're going to take those beautiful tax cuts, we're going to make them permanent because the Democrats want to end all those tax cuts.
02:22:33.000 They want you to pay much higher taxes.
02:22:35.000 I never got it.
02:22:37.000 All my life, I've watched politicians say, We will cut your taxes, even if they didn't mean it, to be honest with you.
02:22:43.000 We will cut your taxes.
02:22:44.000 We will cut.
02:22:45.000 This is the only group I've ever seen.
02:22:46.000 They say, We are going to give you a major tax hike.
02:22:50.000 But we will end all payments to big health insurance companies and give you the money directly so that you can buy your own health care and have money left over for yourself.
02:23:07.000 And we will make our Very incredible.
02:23:12.000 They tried getting it.
02:23:13.000 Some presidents, most presidents didn't try because they never had a shot.
02:23:18.000 Most favored nation prescription drug discounts.
02:23:21.000 We're going to make it permanent in law.
02:23:27.000 We will pass the No Invasion of Our Country Act.
02:23:31.000 We don't want any more invasions of our country.
02:23:39.000 And with JD and everybody else, we will win the war on fraud.
02:23:43.000 You know, we've got billions and billions of dollars already in our coffers of money that we caught on fraud.
02:23:51.000 It's going to be, I would bet it will be over a trillion dollars by the time we're finished.
02:23:56.000 Over a trillion dollars.
02:24:00.000 We will end, and it started with this, and we're going to end it.
02:24:04.000 No cash bail.
02:24:05.000 How about the no cash bail?
02:24:07.000 Somebody kills somebody and they're out in the streets.
02:24:10.000 Two hours later, no cash bail.
02:24:12.000 We're going to end it, and we will pass.
02:24:14.000 The Save America Act mandating voter ID and proof of citizenship.
02:24:36.000 And we have our great Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, up there.
02:24:45.000 Get it done, Mike.
02:24:46.000 Get it done.
02:24:49.000 So, when I'm on the ticket, everybody comes to vote.
02:24:52.000 We have, you know, we won Texas three times, the highest vote in the history of Texas for any race.
02:25:01.000 And by the way, you've got to elect Ken Paxton.
02:25:04.000 You've got to do it.
02:25:10.000 And I said something yesterday, and I don't know if he'll ever talk to me again.
02:25:15.000 Perhaps he will.
02:25:17.000 But I said it, and my people said, Please don't say that, so I won't say it, but I'll tell you what I was thinking about saying.
02:25:26.000 I said, I don't like the way Ken dresses.
02:25:30.000 He said it anyway.
02:25:34.000 Although I also said he looked really sharp in that suit yesterday.
02:25:37.000 I thought, Spiffy.
02:25:40.000 Sharp.
02:25:42.000 And then I said, Spiffy.
02:25:45.000 I don't really like the way Ken talks.
02:25:49.000 And then I said something that they really hated.
02:25:52.000 Please, sir, don't say it, sir.
02:25:55.000 So I'm not going to say it, but I'll tell you what I was thinking about, son.
02:25:59.000 I said, I don't really like the way he looks.
02:26:02.000 I don't like it.
02:26:04.000 Madison looks nervous.
02:26:04.000 I don't like it.
02:26:05.000 You know what I do like?
02:26:06.000 He was the greatest attorney general in the history of Texas.
02:26:11.000 He was the greatest attorney general in the history of Texas.
02:26:15.000 Of our country.
02:26:16.000 He helped us so much with the walls, with illegal immigration, with everything.
02:26:22.000 He's our greatest attorney general, and he is getting fired too.
02:26:22.000 He's hilarious.
02:26:27.000 To go to the United States Senate.
02:26:32.000 I like the way he looks.
02:26:36.000 I like the way he dresses.
02:26:36.000 Don't say it, sir.
02:26:37.000 I won't say it, but I'll tell you what I was thinking.
02:26:42.000 So I don't know if he's going to ever speak to me again, but you know, I don't care as long as he wins.
02:26:46.000 I really don't care.
02:26:47.000 I don't have to.
02:26:48.000 I don't have to speak to him.
02:26:49.000 He's going to vote the way we would vote.
02:26:51.000 So I don't have to speak to him.
02:26:53.000 I don't care.
02:26:53.000 You got to vote for him.
02:26:56.000 So they're going to vote for me.
02:26:58.000 But when I don't, I'm not on the ticket.
02:27:02.000 You got to pretend.
02:27:04.000 I'm not on the ticket.
02:27:05.000 You got to do me the biggest favor you've ever done me.
02:27:08.000 You've got to do this for me.
02:27:10.000 You've got to pretend I'm on the ticket.
02:27:12.000 I'm on the ticket.
02:27:12.000 I'm on the ticket.
02:27:13.000 He's on the ticket.
02:27:15.000 Pretend I'm on the ticket.
02:27:17.000 Because this.
02:27:19.000 Is going to turn out to be one of the most important elections.
02:27:23.000 It's a midterm.
02:27:24.000 It's going to be one of the most important elections.
02:27:26.000 You know, you can tell just by this.
02:27:29.000 Everybody said, if you have a midterm convention, it's going to be a disaster.
02:27:34.000 The highest rafter.
02:27:34.000 No, but look at that.
02:27:36.000 No empty seats.
02:27:37.000 The fake news.
02:27:41.000 They search the arena.
02:27:43.000 There are thousands of people outside.
02:27:45.000 They search the arena for a seat.
02:27:48.000 That's why last night I said, please don't get up and go to the bathroom.
02:27:52.000 Just sit. 1.00
02:27:54.000 Because they're fake people, they're fake, horrible, horrible human beings. 1.00
02:27:59.000 Not all. 1.00
02:28:00.000 Not all.
02:28:01.000 You have some fine journalists, not too many, to be honest with you.
02:28:06.000 But they search when somebody gets up.
02:28:09.000 Yesterday, a couple got up.
02:28:10.000 Two people, that's a disaster.
02:28:14.000 And you immediately see cameras running to take pictures of those two.
02:28:19.000 No, we were packed last night.
02:28:21.000 We had thousands of people outside.
02:28:24.000 And they said, There were some seats that weren't filled.
02:28:26.000 There were no seats at all.
02:28:28.000 In fact, look, even the boxes, the rich people boxes, they usually have them locked as people.
02:28:33.000 Look at them.
02:28:34.000 Every box is loaded up, every box, every corner.
02:28:45.000 Look at those boxes up there.
02:28:48.000 I don't know if they're rich or they're poor, but they're there.
02:28:51.000 We got a lot of people in this plane.
02:28:54.000 Look at the upper ring.
02:28:55.000 Look, everything is taken.
02:28:57.000 And tomorrow you'll say, you'll read.
02:29:01.000 They have huge, they get angry.
02:29:01.000 You know what happens?
02:29:04.000 Tomorrow you're going to read.
02:29:06.000 There were some empty seats.
02:29:07.000 Headline Empty seats.
02:29:10.000 First of all, if we had one fifth of this crowd, it would be a success.
02:29:14.000 But we have a packed arena with thousands of people outside, and I just want you to know it.
02:29:23.000 It's unbelievable.
02:29:24.000 Mark was asking me earlier, do you think we're going to be able to get an after show in?
02:29:27.000 And I said, well, Trump's going to speak.
02:29:30.000 And then we both laughed.
02:29:31.000 I told him I couldn't post it.
02:29:32.000 I was like, he says it's going to be short.
02:29:34.000 And then we both laughed again.
02:29:36.000 I've got to do it a little bit more.
02:29:36.000 Five minutes.
02:29:37.000 Ten minutes maybe, tops.
02:29:40.000 He can't help himself.
02:29:41.000 Come on. 1.00
02:29:41.000 I don't like that linen skin that's showing. 1.00
02:29:43.000 I'm not happy with it. 1.00
02:29:44.000 This is what he lives for.
02:29:46.000 Yeah.
02:29:47.000 This is why he's president.
02:29:48.000 Right.
02:29:48.000 So we can do this.
02:29:49.000 We'll be president so we can do rallies.
02:29:51.000 I'm not that we're allowed to do that.
02:29:52.000 This is a big arena.
02:29:55.000 This is the arena where we had Luca playing just a little while ago.
02:30:00.000 What the hell happened?
02:30:01.000 But this is a beautiful place.
02:30:04.000 But look at it in a speck. 0.91
02:30:05.000 So I say this only because they're dishonest, they're fake. 0.95
02:30:11.000 And you know what?
02:30:12.000 Honestly, to have a really great country, you have to have an honest press.
02:30:18.000 Very largely dishonest.
02:30:24.000 But that is impressive.
02:30:25.000 Look, every single box, I don't know how the hell, you know, the rich people have those things locked off.
02:30:29.000 I don't know how all you people got into those boxes.
02:30:35.000 But if the Democrats get in, they'll destroy everything that we built, they'll ruin our country.
02:30:40.000 So on Election Day, November 3rd, you got to do me a favor.
02:30:44.000 You got to get out and vote, and you're going to pretend I'm on the ballot, because in a way I am on the ballot.
02:30:49.000 Because if they get in, they're going to take away all of the things that we got, and we can't let that happen.
02:30:58.000 In many cases, look, they don't want to give you voter ID.
02:31:02.000 Because they want to cheat.
02:31:02.000 Why?
02:31:04.000 They don't want to give you proof of citizenship.
02:31:07.000 Why?
02:31:08.000 They say, well, it's a very complicated process.
02:31:11.000 They have more lines as to what we want voter ID, we want proof of citizenship, we want honesty in our elections, we want honesty in our So, please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States.
02:31:40.000 Wow.
02:31:42.000 No, this is a bad idea.
02:31:43.000 I love so much.
02:31:44.000 Oh my God.
02:31:45.000 You can breathe.
02:31:47.000 It was a bad idea.
02:31:49.000 That's a cult.
02:31:50.000 That I will go out with my family, my friends.
02:31:54.000 I'll do it anyway.
02:31:56.000 Oh my God.
02:31:57.000 Everyone, raise your right hands and pledge allegiance to me.
02:32:00.000 Remember, he didn't put his hand on the Bible.
02:32:01.000 That was a little weird.
02:32:02.000 He didn't do that.
02:32:03.000 He wouldn't put his hand on the Bible.
02:32:04.000 I don't know why.
02:32:05.000 Because the first president has braided.
02:32:07.000 He's going to burn him.
02:32:09.000 We are going to vote on November.
02:32:11.000 Pledging to vote, not pledge allegiance.
02:32:13.000 He's going to ward off that a little bit more.
02:32:14.000 He didn't need to do that.
02:32:16.000 He had the blood oaths earlier this year.
02:32:19.000 Yeah, but don't tell a gigantic crowd of people to raise your right hands.
02:32:22.000 Yeah.
02:32:23.000 I know they didn't switch.
02:32:24.000 I know they would have had to fight before God.
02:32:26.000 Now, what you do is if you're at a rally like this, you just go like this.
02:32:29.000 They think that way in 100 years, and they look back and they're like, Remember Trump's rally?
02:32:33.000 The great ladies of the United States.
02:32:35.000 It's a joke.
02:32:36.000 I'm not trying to pledge to Ken Texman.
02:32:38.000 He could have just said, You've got to make it a good rally.
02:32:41.000 I don't know how the hell they do it.
02:32:42.000 They are beautiful.
02:32:44.000 That's going to be the headline tomorrow.
02:32:46.000 Ready to finish the pledge.
02:32:49.000 So we swear that on November 3rd, we are going to go out and vote.
02:32:56.000 And you know what?
02:32:58.000 If you want, you can vote Democrat, but I don't think there's one person in this room that's going to vote.
02:33:05.000 All different reasons.
02:33:05.000 So convoluted.
02:33:06.000 I mean, it's on Trump, you know.
02:33:07.000 I'm going to preface, I don't want to waste the words vote Republican.
02:33:10.000 This is a long play.
02:33:11.000 If you vote, you're voting Republican.
02:33:13.000 Okay.
02:33:14.000 So help me.
02:33:15.000 Definitely not on the tie-up jumper.
02:33:18.000 Oh, no.
02:33:21.000 Whoa.
02:33:22.000 Let's go, part of it.
02:33:22.000 Now I know.
02:33:25.000 Now, I'd say just about everybody was.
02:33:30.000 You know what happens if you don't vote?
02:33:34.000 You turn it down. 1.00
02:33:34.000 You go to hell. 1.00
02:33:35.000 You know that. 1.00
02:33:36.000 Oh, my God.
02:33:38.000 Okay. 1.00
02:33:38.000 You go to hell. 1.00
02:33:38.000 Oh. 1.00
02:33:39.000 No matter what that happens, I'm going to say.
02:33:42.000 I bought the Trump Bible.
02:33:43.000 It literally says if you don't vote for Trump, you burn.
02:33:45.000 Because together we will defeat the country.
02:33:47.000 Oh, my God.
02:33:48.000 We will reject.
02:33:49.000 Jesus.
02:33:50.000 That's holding it home. 1.00
02:33:52.000 Eternal damnation for a woman. 1.00
02:33:54.000 My God. 1.00
02:33:55.000 Wow.
02:33:57.000 What if this is what does it?
02:33:59.000 Like in three days, they're like, the polls, Trump's up five points.
02:34:03.000 Republicans are up five points.
02:34:06.000 We will defeat the communists.
02:34:08.000 We will reject.
02:34:09.000 And that's what they are.
02:34:11.000 Wow.
02:34:11.000 They're not socialists.
02:34:12.000 They're not Democrats.
02:34:14.000 I'll check. 0.99
02:34:14.000 We will reject these radical left lunatics. 0.99
02:34:19.000 We will demolish the extremists. 1.00
02:34:22.000 Fanatics, lunatics, and criminals who want to destroy our country. 1.00
02:34:26.000 They want to destroy the country. 1.00
02:34:27.000 There's something, honestly, there's something wrong with them.
02:34:31.000 Remember at the State of the Union?
02:34:32.000 They wouldn't clap for people.
02:34:34.000 The 104 year old man got the Congressional Medal of Honor, the great helicopter pilot, who's phenomenal.
02:34:41.000 He was phenomenal.
02:34:42.000 And I will tell you, he took that chopper down, and we took out Maduro with a fort loaded up with soldiers.
02:34:52.000 Took 25 minutes.
02:34:54.000 And we took over the oil of Venezuela.
02:34:57.000 65 billion barrels of oil.
02:35:01.000 He says it like that, but the truth is, we took our stuff back.
02:35:03.000 He wants it to be more like we got a victory over Venezuela.
02:35:05.000 We talked about the pilot, that handsome guy.
02:35:07.000 He stood up, bravely stood up.
02:35:09.000 He had a hard time with a leg, and now he's got a really hard time.
02:35:12.000 He's still suffering greatly with that leg.
02:35:15.000 Very greatly.
02:35:15.000 He was shot, but it didn't stop him.
02:35:17.000 He landed that chopper perfectly, exactly in the spot.
02:35:19.000 And if he didn't, we would have had a big problem.
02:35:23.000 And as you probably heard, He lost the leg.
02:35:26.000 That beautiful guy lost his leg.
02:35:29.000 And the Democrats wouldn't applaud. 1.00
02:35:32.000 They're sick. 1.00
02:35:33.000 There's something wrong with them. 1.00
02:35:34.000 There's something wrong with them.
02:35:36.000 They wouldn't applaud.
02:35:37.000 We gave him, that day, we gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor and they wouldn't applaud.
02:35:43.000 There's something wrong with them.
02:35:49.000 But my one thing when I started this whole beautiful journey, it's a journey and we did it together.
02:35:55.000 I didn't do it, you did it.
02:35:56.000 You were just waiting for somebody to say the words because it's common sense.
02:36:00.000 You could call it lots of.
02:36:02.000 We want strong borders.
02:36:03.000 We want great education.
02:36:05.000 We want a tremendous.
02:36:06.000 We built the strongest military in the world.
02:36:08.000 We had to use it a little more than I thought, but we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon and they will never have a nuclear weapon. 0.96
02:36:16.000 And they're folding all over the place. 0.97
02:36:18.000 And by the way, we control the Strait.
02:36:19.000 They're all over the place.
02:36:20.000 The Trump Strait, I call it.
02:36:24.000 We control the Trump Strait.
02:36:27.000 But I started out with a very simple thing.
02:36:30.000 Little theme.
02:36:31.000 I came up with this little few words make America great again.
02:36:37.000 That's what I want.
02:36:37.000 That's all I want.
02:36:39.000 And we are making America far greater than anybody in this room thought would be possible.
02:36:45.000 Think of it, $22 trillion coming into this country when a record was $3 trillion many years ago by a totally different country.
02:36:54.000 $22 trillion, it's never happened before.
02:36:57.000 So I just want to say we will make America great again, we will make it greater than ever before.
02:37:04.000 And now, and now, that's enough of politics.
02:37:08.000 I've been doing this now for seven days straight.
02:37:12.000 I want a little music if you don't mind.
02:37:14.000 Enough with the politics.
02:37:16.000 All right.
02:37:18.000 Well, depending on the music, my gentlemen, I think this is a good one.
02:37:22.000 Did he say he was going to do Fans of the Opera?
02:37:23.000 Because that's one of the greatest opera singers anywhere in the world.
02:37:26.000 Nessun Dorma and also a tracker.
02:37:28.000 Luciano Pavarotti was a friend of mine, and I see the actual Phantom song.
02:37:32.000 Nobody was going to ever let go.
02:37:34.000 Well, it wasn't Trump's fault.
02:37:35.000 I'm not so sure that would just turn out all that great.
02:37:40.000 Oh, that would be the greatest thing ever.
02:37:41.000 I'm sorry.
02:37:42.000 We'll get AI to do that.
02:37:43.000 Trump in the mask.
02:37:44.000 I asked him, I said, Christopher, can I ask you a question?
02:37:47.000 I'm a great Phantom Song.
02:37:48.000 Pavarotti was a great friend of mine.
02:37:50.000 He was a great guy. 1.00
02:37:51.000 He was a diva like no woman. 1.00
02:37:52.000 Believe me, there was no diva like that. 1.00
02:37:54.000 He was the all time diva, screaming, those fools, those fools. 1.00
02:37:58.000 He was great. 1.00
02:37:59.000 But he was a diva.
02:38:01.000 But I said to Christopher, so Christopher, let me ask you this question.
02:38:04.000 Are you as good as Pavarotti?
02:38:05.000 You know what he told me?
02:38:07.000 No, no, sir.
02:38:08.000 He is the maestro.
02:38:09.000 He's the greatest of them all.
02:38:11.000 I would never have said that.
02:38:15.000 If I were him and that question were asked, I would have said, sir, I'm far better.
02:38:18.000 Than Pavarotti.
02:38:19.000 I would have said Pavarotti is nothing compared to me.
02:38:23.000 But I'll tell you what Luciano was a friend of mine for a long time and he was great, and I see very little difference.
02:38:30.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Christopher Macchio, have a good time.
02:38:34.000 We love you all.
02:38:35.000 Go out and vote.
02:38:36.000 Go out and vote.
02:38:40.000 Thank you.
02:38:41.000 JD Vance is a politician.
02:38:41.000 Trump's an entertainer.
02:38:43.000 Yeah.
02:38:44.000 All right.
02:38:44.000 I think that about.
02:38:45.000 Might be like one of the most.
02:38:48.000 If you guys want to continue watching, Don Jr. is streaming the convention.
02:38:54.000 Listen to the music.
02:38:55.000 Not for us, not for us.
02:38:58.000 It's just about a little too late to try and get an after show in, so I do apologize, but I think we should probably just wind down.
02:39:07.000 And, you know, that was fun.
02:39:09.000 I'll just say it JD Vance nailed it.
02:39:12.000 Yeah.
02:39:13.000 He nailed the sales pitch in all of the legitimate forms, and Trump nails it in all the gravitas.
02:39:20.000 Yeah.
02:39:21.000 What I mean by that is JD Vance is coming.
02:39:23.000 He's giving you tangibles, Donald Trump is giving you vibes.
02:39:26.000 I'm not saying vibes are bad.
02:39:29.000 He's boosting morale while JD Vance is giving you substance.
02:39:31.000 So I respect it.
02:39:32.000 Not that Trump was.
02:39:36.000 He said, I've fulfilled every promise.
02:39:39.000 Yeah, okay.
02:39:40.000 There have been a couple of promises that haven't come true.
02:39:43.000 That's weird too.
02:39:44.000 It's fine.
02:39:44.000 It's fine.
02:39:45.000 It's fine.
02:39:46.000 I mean, I don't vote for people because I think they're going to be perfect in every single way.
02:39:49.000 You know, I vote for what I can try and win on.
02:39:52.000 So I'll take it.
