Tonight is a chill night. We're drinking and watching the results of the primary election and just chillin' in the middle of it all. We introduce ourselves, talk about the results so far, and talk about who we think is going to win.
00:00:53.000Well yeah, so basically the way it works is right now Florida, the votes that have come in so far are for Biden for the most part.
00:01:00.000But based on the remaining districts and the polls and the projections, Florida is saying with 82% reporting, there is a Trump 3.3% advantage, giving him a greater than 95% chance of winning.
00:01:11.000Now in Georgia, Trump has got a 77% chance of winning.
00:01:15.000And in North Carolina, a 66% chance for Biden.
00:01:18.000So we're just going to chill and throughout the night, random people are going to walk in and start talking about stuff because we got a bunch of random people.
00:02:43.000Just because, yeah, go, you know the thing, right?
00:02:45.000So look at this, we got some data for everybody.
00:02:46.000Oh my gosh, you guys, look at this nonsense.
00:02:48.000So this is, this is what, um, this is what the New York Times has so far for the states that have not been called yet, and it's really interesting.
00:02:55.000Florida looks like it's going Trump, and, uh, Republicans did really well in Miami.
00:02:59.000They didn't win Miami, but they did really well, which is surprising.
00:03:09.000So I think that my, I'm not surprised that Miami might go for Trump, hopefully, because so many of the people there are from, you know, socialist countries.
00:03:16.000Yeah, or fled them, or a family who did.
00:03:20.000What outcomes in these three states mean for the presidential race?
00:03:23.000The New York Times says the greatest likelihood of outcomes is that either... This is interesting.
00:03:28.000There's a 32% chance Trump wins all three states, and a 48% chance of saying that Trump wins two of them and Biden wins one, and a 20% chance Biden wins two.
00:03:39.000There's actually a really good chance that Trump wins all three of these states.
00:03:44.000What they're projecting is that a Biden win is likely in one of the states, and Trump will need the Midwest to keep his chances alive.
00:03:53.000But anyway, I'm not gonna be hanging out here for the most part.
00:03:56.000We're gonna have a bunch of random people come in and talk about whatever they want, because, you know, I'm trying to be a good host.
00:04:01.000We've got a ski ball thing downstairs.
00:04:02.000Everybody's having fun, and some people are biting their nails, sweating bullets, terrified about the memes that will be made of their horrifying reactions tonight if Trump loses.
00:04:38.000And actually, Cassandra is one of the people I was watching with curiosity.
00:04:42.000Because I voted for Biden in 2016 and you were someone I was watching because I thought, okay, she was also for, not for Biden, sorry, for Bernie.
00:05:42.000I think it's funny that liberals are right wing now.
00:05:45.000Look, I know a lot of people, and I know because of the nature of what I do now, I'm more likely to meet people like myself, like liberals and progressives who have left the Democratic Party.
00:05:55.000But I really do, my gut tells me that there's a large number of people, that it's not just my little perspective, that there are truly a lot of people who have walked away.
00:06:05.000I know several progressives who just voted for Trump.
00:07:45.000I left during the primaries, um, I think, yeah, it was the beginning of 2016.
00:07:52.000It was before Bernie dropped out, but you could tell that he was going to drop out.
00:07:56.000Um, and I switched and, but how, like why you were, you were so for Bernie and then all of a sudden you voted for Trump.
00:08:04.000Well, I could see that he was getting ready to endorse Hillary Clinton, and I thought that it was rigged.
00:08:09.000And she always struck me as a war pig.
00:08:15.000She was basically John McCain in a lipstick and a dress.
00:08:18.000And that was everything that I opposed.
00:08:21.000And so one day I was hanging out with Noam Chomsky, ironically, in Boston, and we were talking about free speech and why it's so important.
00:08:29.000He's been horrible on Trump, but I took a very different thing away from my conversation with him that day.
00:08:36.000So we were talking about free speech and war and things like that.
00:08:40.000And I went back to my hotel room, I went and saw this band Glassjaw play, went back to my hotel, had a few drinks with me, and I was just like, you know what?
00:09:12.000I also disliked a lot of the rhetoric that was coming from her about, like, being tougher on Russia and tougher, you know, with Syria and things like that.
00:09:22.000So all the things that I used to think were the most important to me and that were leftist ideals, like free speech and being anti-intervention, were now being represented by the other side.
00:09:33.000So I felt like the Democratic Party kind of left my beliefs not out for me.
00:09:39.000Glenn Greenwald tweeted about this recently, something about the Democrats or the progressives who are voting for the Democratic Party who are going to get a swift lesson in what their support is actually worth to them once they no longer need their votes.
00:09:50.000And then the example he used was how the anti-war, like anti-corporatist kind of thing, movement dried up as soon as Obama won.
00:11:53.000I was one of those people who cried the night that I came on.
00:11:59.000Yeah, I was wondering if I would cry tonight for different reasons, but I actually, you know, I don't really... Could you imagine being wrong twice?
00:12:26.000But ultimately, I think Even if Trump wins, we're going to wake up tomorrow and we're still going to be fighting this belief system that is taking us backwards, that says the way to cure the world's ills is by putting us all in groups, is with collectivism instead of individualism.
00:12:43.000I think it's remarkable that you could simply ask any one of these people, the average person, do you agree with Dr. King's dream?
00:13:20.000Someone wrote a letter during the Black Lives Matter protests, like in 2014 or whatever, saying that they believed it was one of the Black Lives Matter activists.
00:13:28.000They said that ending segregation, and this is according to their letter, Put black people in the same competitive field with white people, even though they were a massive, massive, massive disadvantage, creating a historical disparity that they could never overcome.
00:13:43.000Whereas according to this letter, when they were separated, they had black Wall Street and they had their own economy in their own system that was working.
00:13:52.000So that was Black Lives Matter back in 2014, calling for an end to our current status quo on, you know, civil rights and segregation and stuff.
00:14:27.000I was like, it's remarkable, upper-class white progressives acting like they know what any minority is thinking or what's good for any, you know, non-white person or whatever.
00:14:39.000I'm like, I don't want to live in your creepy world where I have to, like, check a box and pick a race.
00:23:08.000Yeah, Tim invited us because he just didn't want to do the show election night, but he still wanted to pull in the views for doing an election night show.
00:23:56.000But one of my regrets from college was that the day after the election I didn't have any classes scheduled.
00:24:01.000So that you couldn't see all your co-workers?
00:24:03.000Yeah, well, I had several friends tell me that in their class there were literally kids crying, and one of my friends told me that a teaching assistant started crying during their class.
00:24:11.000And another friend sent me a Snapchat of a kid, like, underneath their desk, huddled.
00:24:15.000And I was like, man, that could have been me.
00:25:41.000I don't... I'm not convinced it's going to be a landslide.
00:25:43.000I don't think it will be either way, but I do... I already gave my two cents on Twitter and I think that Trump is going to win Pennsylvania.
00:26:41.000That tweet went out where they said very clearly that the New York Times and the media are the only ones responsible for calling the winner of the election.
00:27:31.000Basically, the idea that the state Is the absolute and highest authority on everything.
00:27:36.000If you read, I was talking about this last time I was on the show, but you read Giovanni Gentile's work and he writes that nothing of value, human or spiritual, can exist outside of the state, which is a psychotic statement, but it's at the heart of fascism.
00:27:52.000It's a psychotic, it is a psychotic statement, but at the same time it is, it's one which is tacitly acknowledged to be true by most people on the left.
00:28:01.000There are things that They'll say, which pretty much suggests that it's the case.
00:28:04.000Like, yeah, you know, you can have your own personal religious beliefs, but if, like, those conflict with what we believe the government should be doing, then you have to give that up.
00:28:10.000And they play this game where they accuse you of forcing your beliefs onto them by not allowing them to force their beliefs onto you.
00:28:19.000And you know what they say, if one side is using tricky language and playing around with words in a way that deceives you, it's probably the people you should vote for.
00:28:29.000Yeah, I think that's a good rule of thumb.
00:28:50.000Look, fascism can be defined so many different ways.
00:28:53.000Again, like I said, it's an empty phrase.
00:28:55.000If you look at fascism as being, again, the belief that the state is the absolute and highest authority, we're certainly approaching that.
00:29:02.000And it's more the left approaching it than the right, though there are certain factions on the right which are leaning in that direction now as a response to the left.
00:29:08.000What other authorities should there be besides the state?
00:29:31.000Or have you arrested for, like, private cops?
00:29:32.000I was just making our way to identifying the fact that without church leading the way, without God, without a higher power, without a greater calling, in the United States, our universal liberalism has ended us up in a situation in which the state does seem to be the highest authority in the land.
00:29:55.000I don't know, but the guys with the guns that we consent to have them to have violence, those shouldn't be the guys with the highest authority.
00:30:03.000You need, this is, you know, 2014, Seamus is going to be very angry to hear me say this right now.
00:30:08.000But yeah, I mean, you need some government.
00:30:11.000But of course, the problem is our government is completely out of control.
00:30:15.000If you would ask me what system would be better than this?
00:30:18.000There are a number that I could think of, but to be honest, our best shot is to just find a way to return this system to its actual foundational roots.
00:31:01.000Well, no, this is interesting, though, because obviously We would all agree that slavery is evil and horrific and disgusting, but when you read the actual text of the Constitution, it's clear that they're setting it up so that this is a system where slavery would eventually end.
00:31:13.000I don't think all of them realize that or are even comfortable with it, but at the time, slavery was so widespread that there was no way you could have ever gotten the colonies to ratify the Constitution if it outright prohibited it.
00:31:25.000So of course the Founding Fathers never wrote anything in the Constitution saying that slavery had to be explicitly prohibited.
00:31:30.000That didn't mean that they were all in favor of slavery.
00:31:32.000It doesn't mean that the country is evil or was based on an evil foundation.
00:31:37.000Because if they had said, all right, as one of the rules, we're going to explicitly say that every colony which joins our union has to free the slaves, then there just never would have been a union in the first place.
00:31:47.000And that union itself is what ended to the abolition of slavery later on.
00:35:36.000We have Chad Bremer who asks, why does Trump have a commanding lead in Virginia but they're calling it for Biden?
00:35:42.000I keep asking that same question myself, but I imagine there's some quinky dinks of math going on there.
00:35:47.000Yeah, so they had a very small percentage in Virginia.
00:35:50.000They're like, we feel comfortable calling this for Biden just because of the counties that are outstanding or super, super liberal, and they could not possibly see them going for Trump.
00:39:20.000They wielded a tremendous amount of power.
00:39:22.000Well, all right, so the idea is, originally when a person had a business, they were the business.
00:39:27.000Whatever happened, they were privileged with all the profits, right?
00:39:31.000Maybe privilege is the wrong word, but they had a right to all the profits.
00:39:33.000But they were also to be held accountable anytime the business did anything wrong the entire idea behind a corporation is there's limited liability So the person doesn't face all the same consequences that they would if the corporation goes and does something That that might negatively reflect upon them personally had they just been a sole proprietor or something or historically I just own the business themselves and with that there are certain costs I think a lot of people debate though that Businesses today with the way that it's structured and corporations today don't have the same risks that they did historically at least the larger ones But of course they get all the same profit or more but that yeah, I mean that's an entirely different discussion I'm not sure about all that.
00:40:10.000It depends on the business, too I mean we would all agree that the companies that get bailouts are certainly experiencing that I don't know if I necessarily have a problem with the idea of corporations being considered quote-unquote people not because they're literally people on any Interesting.
00:40:24.000real sense, but because that that kind of thinking is what allows for corporations owned
00:40:28.000by religious people to follow their own religious beliefs rather than being forced to do things
00:40:33.000like purchase birth control or abortifacients for their employees when their faith explicitly
00:41:13.000If I'm remembering all of that properly.
00:41:16.000This was years ago, but that's the basic gist of it.
00:41:18.000So I think in that sense, the law really works.
00:41:20.000They taught you all this in art school?
00:41:24.000This is not the version of the story I heard in art school.
00:41:26.000The version of the story I heard in art school, the one time a professor spoke on it was, this was a huge threat to, not just a threat, but a blow to workers' rights that religious institutions are able to tell them what kind of birth control they can access, even though it's legal and they can get it everywhere very inexpensively.
00:42:18.000We discussed that and that's just fascism.
00:42:20.000Well, there is a point where you have to start considering the public good, and that's what antitrust is all about.
00:42:26.000That's what Teddy Roosevelt was all about.
00:42:27.000He was a trust-busting conservative who I think a lot of people early on in the MAGA sort of movement look back to for inspiration in terms of a trust-busting, anti-corporate conservative.
00:42:39.000Uh, who was also sort of an activist in terms of controlling and going after, uh, corporate interests.
00:42:44.000And I think that's what people wanted from Donald Trump.
00:42:46.000And we didn't get to see as much of that as we wanted because once you get into Washington and all the vampires are there and they not only can control the individual politicians, but they, they can just stop things from happening, stop things from coming onto the floor, stop votes from proceeding, you know, roadblocking and stymieing things.
00:43:02.000So hopefully after Trump wins, should he win, we are all hoping he will win.
00:43:12.000That's one of his major failings in this administration, was not going after the social media companies and just remedying the environment there in the corporations.
00:43:21.000And a guy like Matt Stoller on the Democrat side will say the Democrats have been terrible at antitrust for a number of years.
00:45:35.000So if you're going to be like a crazy political analyst, politician that wants to really change the world and upend the power structure to create a better one, you've got to make people laugh in the process.
00:48:42.000Also, the analysis on the New York Times website is basically saying that if Trump wants to stay in the game, he does need to win all three of these states, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.
00:48:51.000It's still possible for him to win if he loses one, but it's looking like he still has a chance at this point.
00:48:59.000Cassandra is saying people are tweeting about something happening in Virginia with maybe Trump might actually win it.
00:50:46.000With all the civil and social unrest right now, could people handle having to wait several weeks to know who the next president is going to be?
00:52:21.000All right, Lauren, did you see anything in the numbers?
00:52:25.000Did you see anything before you came up here?
00:52:26.000Well, I saw that Trump is currently winning the popular vote.
00:52:29.000I mean, they haven't counted, obviously, New York and California, but that's kind of an interesting... I mean, right now Biden's ahead in the actual electoral votes and then Trump ahead in the popular vote, so it's like... Which I didn't see that happening.
00:52:42.000Yeah, I mean, Tim was saying this earlier, but at this point in the night, that doesn't mean much, and especially because you mentioned they haven't totaled up the votes from really population-dense states, which are almost certainly going to go for Biden.
00:52:52.000But interestingly enough, what people don't realize is, let's say we did completely abolish the Electoral College and we actually did go based on the popular vote, even though I don't think that would be a good move, that doesn't necessarily mean Democrats would win every election like they seem to think that they Uh, would in such a scenario, because oftentimes people who live in population-dense states know that those states are gonna go- And don't bother voting.
00:53:16.000Whereas if it was a purely popular vote-based system, a lot of those people might vote.
00:53:20.000And so it wouldn't exactly, or it wouldn't necessarily be a total giveaway to the Democrats, though it's still not something I think would be good based on principle.
00:54:56.000The last time we talked, you and I, we talked about the progressive left actually being like anti-lesbian, like trying to Expand the definition of lesbian to include like all like all other genders According that I give me a break and it's so funny because I I was reading This article that made me think of you is from pink news and it was talking about how there's only like 15 lesbian bars left in the country and
00:55:18.000And then one of the things it said, like, lesbian bars are important to foster an environment open to all sexualities and genders and stuff.
00:56:26.000Really what they want is to tear down the system and reform it.
00:56:29.000And I shouldn't say reform it, rebuild it into something entirely new.
00:56:32.000And the best way to do that is to get people who you either perceive as being or can convince
00:56:37.000them that they are on the outside of the system and then they'll fight it with you.
00:56:43.000So all of the identity politics stuff, and this goes for not just the modern iteration of that, but going back to even just the idea of gay pride in general, or gays and lesbians before transgenderism was a question, and even a lot of what we saw with racial identity politics was very much to get people To revolt against the system which existed, not necessarily because the left was interested in the well-being of those people, but because they were interested in tearing the system down.
00:57:10.000And we can see, for some of those groups of people, there are injustices.
00:57:13.000So, for example, I don't think any of us would argue that the Civil Rights Movement or the fact that people were marching against Jim Crow It was a bad thing, of course not.
00:57:22.000But I think it's clear to see that so much of the reason that the left is interested, to whatever degree they try to appear to be interested, in the well-being of these groups is just because they see them as useful pawns.
00:57:39.000Or why people might claim that somebody's You know, sexual preferences are not something they can see as an identifier that they aren't, like, fulfilling if they don't vote a particular way.
00:58:08.000It really bothers me that the left uses these minority groups as pawns.
00:58:12.000It truly troubles me because I am actually really compassionate, like super compassionate, like in a way that I don't think that the leftists have ever been.
00:58:20.000Because I'm like, why would you treat someone like a pawn when you could treat them like a person?
00:58:30.000I literally filmed a video yesterday with a New York City, a black cop, black police officer who lives in one of the worst neighborhoods in New York City.
00:58:40.000And he said exactly what you're saying.
00:59:03.000But it's also interesting how anytime there is someone that goes against the grain, whether it's a black person being conservative or any other like minority, they not only attack that person, they attack them way more than they would if it were just the traditional straight white man.
00:59:18.000Because it can show that there's not just this stronghold.
00:59:22.000Also, I mean, I think there's a kind of contempt that they view them with.
00:59:25.000So this is something that we saw With people we would consider working class voters or white working class voters, where this is a group of people that Democrats would traditionally have said that they stand for and by, but they're often the butt of the joke, especially when it comes to conversations about Trump.
00:59:40.000And so often we hear this impression of a conservative, and it always ends up being some uneducated sounding person, usually with like a Southern accent.
00:59:52.000Yes, they cling to their guns and violas.
00:59:53.000And I'll be honest, I thought that that was the case, you know, and I met my first conservatives, in quotes, my first conservative friends in St.
01:00:26.000Yeah, so there's also the conservative, and this is something I kind of take issue with, but I think first and foremost, it's possible to disagree with somebody's lifestyle choices without hating them as a person.
01:00:35.000But I think that's definitely lost in the modern conversation.
01:00:38.000And I think what's happened to conservatism over the past several years, and it's something I've discussed on this show and really lamented, is the fact that It's sort of changed from being something that I think was
01:00:46.000more deeply based in Christianity and in this country, not necessarily Catholicism because
01:00:52.000America was sort of founded on competing ideals usually between like maybe more liberal Protestant
01:00:57.000thinkers of the area and not anything really robustly Catholic.
01:01:00.000But we have changed the meaning of conservative, at least in America, to sort of being a loose
01:01:05.000affiliation of people with kind of vaguely similar ideas about the economy and really
01:01:09.000no perspective on social issues other than a sort of run-of-the-mill classically liberal
01:01:50.000But they are socially conservative, so I think there's a difference there, and I think what we're seeing is not necessarily a resurgence of conservatism, but more right-wing populism.
01:01:59.000Well, no, and that's exactly my point.
01:02:01.000What the conservative movement in America today is and has been is not necessarily something which I would consider conservative, so I don't really call it a resurgence of conservatism.
01:02:09.000What's sad is when it comes to the Catholics who vote Democrat, for example, This is something Tim gave me a shout-out to about earlier when he was on, but Joe Biden, for example, the media has repeatedly referred to Joe Biden as a practicing Catholic, but by definition he isn't, because one of the requirements in order to be a practicing Catholic is you have to give full assent to Catholic teaching.
01:02:28.000Catholic teaching states that abortion is murder and has to be treated as such by civil authorities, which Joe Biden explicitly votes against.
01:03:07.000I think the Catholic vote for... I know under Obama, the Catholic vote, the majority went to him, which is really sad, but also that's a result of the fact that most Catholics just don't know their faith very well.
01:03:20.000I mean, I think, to be fair to Catholics, and Liam and I talk about this all the time, that's true of every faith, pretty much.
01:03:28.000One thing that I just want to interject as the only gay person here but like I have to use that card but I had this conversation with Sidney Watson and a bunch of other more conservative friends of mine and I think that one thing that the conservative movement or the right-leaning movement has to do a better job at is welcoming gay people.
01:03:47.000What do you mean by welcoming gay people?
01:03:50.000It's almost because I grew up in the 90s and the Republican Party and just majority of people didn't even accept gay marriage and not even Obama until 2008, right?
01:04:12.000And I think for a lot of conservatives, the whole thing comes down to, I think a lot of conservatives see gay pride parades and equate that lifestyle with every single LGBT person.
01:04:23.000Which is fair because that's what they show.
01:05:35.000In the eyes of the law, as long as, I don't care if it's called marriage, civil union, whatever, as long as I have these same rights, it's, it's, the point's moot to me.
01:05:45.000Well, what I've found interesting is that I've also seen a lot of conservatives say that they don't like the idea of government getting into marriage at all.
01:06:12.000So I don't think government should be, like, it doesn't really make sense if you think
01:06:15.000of it, like, why would government have a role in recognizing your personal relationship?
01:06:20.000I guess it's just a fundamental disagreement on what marriage is and its role in society.
01:06:25.000I would say that when a man and woman come together, they're likely to be producing children.
01:06:29.000This all changed once the artificial contraception became very popular.
01:06:34.000But historically it was the case, and I believe marriage is intended to be a union where a man and woman produce children or are together for their entire lives.
01:06:40.000I agree with that, but why is the state recognizing that?
01:06:42.000Sure, because it's a good thing for the state to incentivize and it's good for the state to say, if you are married and you are the sole provider, for example, even if you're not the sole provider, but you and your wife are working or you're working to support your wife and kids, we probably should tax you less because you're going to be raising these children.
01:06:56.000But I want everybody to be taxed less.
01:07:01.000I want everybody to be taxed less and I am in favor of things like if you have child tax credits and even something like we've seen Poland and I Is it hungry or just pull and do?
01:07:12.000In order to encourage birth rates but I don't necessarily see that as being the same as saying like the government needs to define marriage especially when we I don't know when we look at the fact that so many people are getting married and not having children it's looking like we haven't we have if that is the reason for government recognizing marriage it's not looking like it's been effective.
01:07:32.000Yeah, I mean, nowadays people are generally not having children.
01:07:35.000I would say that's more of a cultural issue than a government issue, but I do believe that government recognizing marriage as it is and wanting people to have children or at least keep track of who's having children is a good thing, but I suppose we'd disagree on this.
01:07:48.000As for the polls, did you want to pull those back up?
01:07:50.000I know that Joe Biden is at 119 electoral votes and Trump is at 94.
01:07:55.000We're at 119 and Trump's hanging out at 94.
01:08:29.000What have the attitudes of the average person on the streets been like?
01:08:33.000And part of the reason I'm asking, like, the average person on the streets, people you would just, like, run into at a bar or something or in public, maybe not necessarily your close circle of friends, because we all have biased circles.
01:08:42.000I'm curious, what are the attitudes you have noticed?
01:08:45.000The older people, people that are business owners, obviously, because of COVID and everything like that, people that are more religious or more I would say old school New Yorkers, old school with people that were born and raised there, are voting Republican.
01:09:20.000It's a big, there's 100 schools or something, and there's NYU, and Columbia, and all these, you know, I mean, the people are brilliant that go there, I'm sure, but they're also really hipster.
01:09:33.000It's a big, it's a big artsy, yeah it's a big artsy city and and it's it's a big urban city.
01:09:39.000Yeah, yeah. Well it's interesting especially if you look at the role that someone like Giuliani had in New York.
01:09:46.000It does kind of seem like even though they're, you know, New York, they're leftists, it does seem like when it comes to law and order, New Yorkers want things done and they were willing to even vote for Giuliani to do that.
01:09:55.000And maybe like this is like all these riots are kind of spurring similar sentiments.
01:10:01.000I think, I think the riot, if the riots and COVID didn't happen, I don't think New York would have gone, it's not red still, but I don't think it would have gone a little bit over to the red side.
01:12:25.000They knew they couldn't put her up against Trump because not only did she say that she's Native American, but she took a DNA test.
01:12:30.000would show that she was like 0.001% whiter than the average person.
01:12:34.000Not only whiter than the average person, but she used that DNA test that said she had some ambiguous native DNA from somewhere in America and said, I am Cherokee.
01:13:02.000Because she was won like 20- Do you see the TikToks when they were blowing up about, I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% and then it says white and somebody goes, it's still a piece of garbage.
01:14:10.000It's one of the really interesting, weird allegiances, the way the progressive left kind of, I don't know, defends Islam at every turn, when if you look at actual Islamic beliefs, they're not very progressive.
01:14:25.000They're more conservative than Christians for sure.
01:14:28.000It's funny seeing the way that they attack someone like Amy Coney Barrett for being this religious extremist and then in the next breath a lot of these same news outlets are kind of defending blasphemy lies.
01:14:41.000Isn't it funny that they spent weeks, I shouldn't say weeks, but at least days questioning whether or not this woman should be able to serve on the court because of her religious beliefs, and then they had the audacity to say she was a threat to religious freedom.
01:15:37.000But there are some people who are saying, I think they were saying that Melania might have brought a statue of our Lady of Fatima into the White House.
01:15:59.000I would need to double-check on that, but I think that Trump is, he's certainly more friendly to Catholics than, in a weird way, I almost want to say he's more friendly to Catholics than any president of my lifetime.
01:16:21.000I think maybe his faith has developed.
01:16:24.000I think he might be, I think he might, I don't doubt that he probably may believe in God, but I don't think he's living a Christian lifestyle, and I don't think that's a shocking thing to say.
01:17:42.000First of all, I want to point out the fact that Florida is 93% reporting and everyone's been saying Florida is leaning towards Trump, but the New York Times isn't calling Florida.
01:21:10.000I mean, from what I've seen, it was weird.
01:21:12.000Most of the reporting was for Trump, but they had called it for Biden, and apparently that was because of the areas that they hadn't called yet.
01:21:19.000Virginia's tricky, because it's not really a northern state.
01:21:26.000I know, it's pretty blue too, so I was seeing... The top of it, only the top of it.
01:21:31.000Okay, maybe that's the issue then, because Trump was coming in strong in Virginia, but they were calling it for Biden, and I was like, why?
01:26:16.000Which, Williamson County, if you guys aren't familiar, it's a little bit north of Austin, and it's been red for a while, and I've, you know, I've been noticing just in the short time I've been there that it's changing, and so... You have seen it.
01:26:48.000And doing these sort of witch hunts at the school board meetings, where they bring in students to accuse faculty members and school board members of being racist on Zoom calls.
01:27:40.000And I know some progressives who are voting for Trump, this is an interesting way of thinking about it, but not because they care so much about whether he wins nationally, but because they want to send a message to Californians that Texas is not going to turn blue, please don't come here anymore.
01:28:56.000He's one of those people who would say anything to win.
01:28:59.000And so when he was running locally, he was saying, well, I'll take your guns, but not your AR-15s.
01:29:04.000And then as soon as he was running on a national stage, I think he had some focus group who said, OK, well, now you're not running in Texas.
01:29:20.000Well, that is very slimy and a typical politician move.
01:29:22.000But then I should basically correct what I said, because when he did that well in Texas, he had not yet said he was going to take AR-15s from people.
01:29:31.000But the other thing about him that I thought was really phony, and I don't know if you guys noticed this, but he seemed to... I guarantee you he had a speech coach, because he seemed to speak with Obama's cadence and his hand movements, and watching him I was like, oh, he's trying to evoke this Pavlovian dog thing and all the people who voted for and loved Obama, where you're not consciously thinking about it, but you're listening to him and you're like, that makes me feel good in my tummy!
01:30:00.000It sounded like he was trying to rip Obama off all the time, so I just, I never got with him.
01:30:04.000Well, you know, Beto, it's such a weird trend in the last couple years where losers are considered to be competition for, like, the next race.
01:30:17.000Like, if Beto O'Rourke Could not beat Ted Cruz.
01:30:43.000Part of me thinks, well, maybe it's because Beto lost, but he did lose Texas, and he did well in Texas relative to how you would expect a Democrat to perform.
01:32:20.000But now, Things are actually a little bit more dicey than we thought they would be, and Trump actually really does stand a chance of losing compared to where he was, you know, a year ago.
01:32:31.000And so I think Biden was probably a throwaway candidate, and it just happened to be the case that he ended up in an election where he would have a shot.
01:33:04.000I mean, Trump is a great lightning rod for them, so maybe they want to keep him around for four years and then run someone they think could win.
01:33:09.000Although, on the other hand, I mean, so I voted for Tulsi Gabbard in the primaries.
01:37:40.000But then it would have been a Biden, I guess, a Biden-Bernie-Trump debate, and Bernie would have totally been able to go after Trump, and he definitely would have seemed more coherent than Biden.
01:37:58.000I disagree on two points, but when it comes to what you're saying about Bernie probably having, or would have having had a better chance had he ran third party, It's an interesting thought, but I don't think he would really have a shot at winning.
01:39:13.000One of the first things that that clued me into the fact that the 2016 election was going to be strange was that I had family members who were lifetime Republicans telling me during the primary season, well, I I don't know who I'm going to vote for.
01:39:40.000But then I started to understand after Trump won, I started trying to figure out why he won.
01:39:46.000And I think there's part of the reason why people vote sometimes is just this emotional thing that someone makes them feel a certain way.
01:39:54.000And I think people had a feeling about Bernie that he's authentic.
01:39:58.000And they also have a feeling about Trump that he's authentic, that he says whatever he thinks, whether you like it or not.
01:40:05.000And so at first I couldn't understand.
01:40:07.000And now, I mean, even in Tim's house, there's like a lot of people like myself who voted for Bernie and then today find themselves voting for Trump.
01:43:02.000She was polling very low and she had qualified for the next debate and she ran out of money like that.
01:43:11.000Her campaign was It was being run by her sister and some guy that helped win her Senate seat and they were both conflicting and they were having this like, according to reports that they were just having like all these internal struggles with how things should go and then I remember that she closed down all of her
01:43:36.000New Hampshire offices and I'm like, this is, this is over.
01:43:39.000And it was, I was so happy because she was, and she was just, she's, you talk about people that, that you talk about Beto not being genuine.
01:43:48.000She's even like less, like she's the worst.
01:44:16.000Well, they tried that with Hillary and Trump's lines.
01:44:19.000They tried using Trump's lines for Hillary.
01:44:21.000I remember when this is going down, they had this mini debate where they're like, oh, we're going to pretend this person who's a male is really Hillary.
01:44:29.000And I'm like, yeah, no, they still hate her.
01:48:03.000I think Yang was the Bernie in terms of non-establishment working class type candidate, but media screwed Yang hard, thought Yang was decently likable.
01:48:11.000I mean, I thought Yang was pretty likable as a candidate.
01:48:14.000I would put him in that same group of people about when people make decisions based on emotion or on who they think is authentic and they're not so much looking at policy.
01:48:22.000I think people, Bernie comes off as authentic, Tulsi came off as authentic, and I would say also Yang.
01:48:35.000He was a one-line, like a one-policy man, which was the freedom to them.
01:48:45.000You know, it's like everything he's like, oh, well, you know, we got to If you want to cut down on crime in the prison population, everybody gets $1,000 a month.
01:49:01.000You thought he was stupid, but she's asking, is this the kind of person who you could understand why people would appreciate the appeal of?
01:49:06.000Because I agree with what you're saying that UBI is a bad policy and it was kind of gimmicky, but at the same time, he was clearly a likable candidate.
01:49:15.000He was wrong, but he was one of the smarter people on that stage.
01:49:17.000And that's not saying much, but if you actually see the conversations he had or his in-depth interview with Joe Rogan, it was clear he knew what he was talking about.
01:49:28.000First of all, I think that his slogan, math, make America think harder, I think that's such a condescending It's such a condescending slogan.
01:49:40.000Make America think smarter, you know, or think harder.
01:49:43.000I think Andrew Yang was, again, it's like he tried to, they would say, well, he'd talk about, you know, like, at the debates, talk about foreign policy.
01:50:23.000That's not going to do anything for their inequity.
01:50:26.000It's just everybody's going to have $1,000 more.
01:50:32.000The fact is that when Joe Rogan, when he was on Joe Rogan, he said, well, you know, if you get a thousand dollars a month, Joe Rogan, you're not going to spend it.
01:50:40.000You're probably just going to put it away.
01:50:41.000And that's what a lot of rich, it's supposed to be stimulus.
01:50:45.000And a lot of rich people would have just.
01:50:49.000I know I got my stimulus check, not that I'm a rich person, but I got my stimulus check and I didn't go spend it on anything.
01:50:56.000It's just still on the card that they say, you know?
01:50:59.000One thing people don't realize about UBI either is there are people who they're trying really hard at a hobby that they want to make into a career, right?
01:51:08.000And they don't make enough money to live off of it.
01:51:12.000But they could make enough money to live off it if they were getting an extra $1,000 a month.
01:51:16.000Point is, when you give people extra money to subsidize their lifestyle, whatever they're choosing, then they don't place themselves in an area where they're going to be maximally productive for the rest of the population because there's no longer that necessity for them.
01:51:29.000And so, like, this was an argument made by somebody, and I read this, but I thought it was interesting.
01:51:34.000I mean, it's really difficult to the point where you could make a full-time living doing what we do, for example.
01:53:06.000Uh, and it usually doesn't, which sounds like a little ironic coming from me.
01:53:10.000I mean, I make cartoons for a living, but the reality is, um, there are, if, if, if everybody, uh, who just wanted to pursue any career was, was able to do so with this cushion, then yet people would not end up in the positions where we need them and where they can best serve others.
01:56:07.000I'm not a... I can't say that I'm a fan of Lindsey Graham at this point anymore.
01:56:12.000But for the left to hype up Jamie Harrison and it was the... I think he received more money than any other candidate in any Senate race ever.
01:57:08.000They say their final forecast from the previous night still shows Trump 1 in 10, but I know their latest update is Trump with a 31% chance of winning.
01:57:49.000Walking back there, their early call with so many votes coming in still, I guess there's a whole dump of mail-in ballots to be counted still from Northern Virginia.
01:57:57.000No, no, that can't be true because they called Hickenlooper for Colorado.
01:58:01.000That means what about the mail-in ballots in Colorado that need to be counted?
01:58:05.000It's all mail-in ballots in Colorado, right?
01:59:29.000People are voting to save their lives.
01:59:31.000They're voting to defend themselves against a whole sort of half of the country and all the institutions of government that just want to tell them that they're terrible people.
01:59:39.000That's a motivating factor to come out and finally just be like, no, we're going to take it back from the cities and we're going to make ourselves heard and we're going to stand up for ourselves.
01:59:51.000I mean, you've got people who have been paying attention who are saying right now, I'm sick and tired of being abused and insulted and berated.
01:59:58.000But I look at some of my friends who are out in California and they're just like, uh, I'm gonna vote for Biden.
02:01:47.000They're not into a lot of modernity, as it were.
02:01:50.000And so it was always seemed stupid to me to have Latino voters just lumped in with POCs and immigrants and, you know, African-Americans who've been here since, you know, 16, 16, 19.
02:02:05.000And so there's the like, you know, critical race, you know, race mongers on Twitter are already saying like, oh, Cubans aren't actual real Latinos.
02:02:13.000And now Latino voters are the erasure.
02:02:16.000This is the great erasure of the Latino vote.
02:03:02.000That's still, that's still not a good thing to say.
02:03:05.000I mean, everybody, you can't lump everybody into one community, you know, or it's, it's just, I do not understand how anybody can, how anybody can hear all these things about Joe Biden and say, Well, you know, Trump's the racist.
02:03:20.000I don't understand how people come to that conclusion.
02:03:46.000And then in order, so I'll put it this way.
02:03:49.000I believe it is a lot easier to get a low information voter motivated to vote how you want than it is to convince them with all of your knowledge and information to vote correctly.
02:03:58.000Well, there's another, there's another term for low information voter.
02:04:34.000That's an interesting point, because when Trump had that rally in Tulsa a few months ago, back in June, I guess, May or June, CNN didn't show the speech.
02:04:49.000What they showed was a wide shot of the speech and they were commenting on what he was saying.
02:04:55.000So when Trump said something like, you know, I tell them, you know, the more cases, the more testing we have, the more cases we have.
02:05:29.000The disinfecting thing I thought was interesting because it's almost like a bell curve of a stupid question where on the really high end, you probably roll your eyes and say, Trump, no.
02:05:39.000But then at a certain point, you're like, it's good that you're asking these questions because we ask weird questions sometimes to try and come up with solutions.
02:05:47.000And then it was really funny that a bunch of Trump supporters started showing UV light disinfectants that you actually do put down your lungs.
02:06:27.000It's like Trump accidentally, like, was kind of onto something.
02:06:31.000And before I go, I want to say that, you know, at the debate, when Joe Biden and Joe Biden keep saying this, he's like, well, Trump said, he said it.
02:08:09.000I'm imagining, I'm imagining, it's like Joe Biden looks at his watch, he looks at the calendar and he marks a day and it says 47 years, and then he goes, today's finally the day.
02:09:53.000I'm an editor with Campus Reform, so we have student journalists all across the country reporting on leftists biased on campus, which is obviously a huge issue.
02:10:04.000But then I also do stuff on the side with human events and post-millennial.
02:10:10.000So if Joe Biden wins, it's the apocalypse.
02:10:14.000I know that's a joke, but I know they're gonna clip it and be like, aha!
02:10:20.000I mean, personally, I feel like it's been the apocalypse just for the past, like, four years because my view is so focused on the campus, what's going on on campus, and just the reaction to Trump being the president for the last few years.
02:10:34.000If you were there and you were seeing what these kids on college campuses are seeing, you would think it was The way they're acting.
02:10:41.000Have you guys ever seen This Is The End?
02:11:33.000I saw this person that I know voted in Colorado and they're like, well you have until the 12th to figure out your signature, your signature situation.
02:11:37.000Most marked ballots have until November 13th to arrive, but no additional results will
02:11:42.000be reported for at least a week and a half.
02:12:31.000I don't think you're crazy, but Pennsylvania has been the one that I've been like very just kind of apprehensive about just because I think that a lot hinges on Pennsylvania and I go back and forth.
02:12:48.000In fact, Pennsylvania has been the keystone of this entire thing, and it was in 2016 as well, which is why I went up to both central, sort of south-central Pennsylvania, as well as up into the Lehigh Valley to interview people, Democrats as deplorable voters.
02:13:03.000We just camped out in stores and restaurants and bars and interviewed political officials and party officials from GOP.
02:13:10.000Former Democrats, immigrants, all kinds of people up there in the Lehigh Valley.
02:13:14.000And that is a place that had a shift away, a shift from blue to red.
02:13:20.000And the rest of the central and western part of Pennsylvania, very strongly red.
02:13:25.000And central Pennsylvania, last time in 2016, Romney counties doubled in their support when they went for Trump.
02:13:31.000So Pennsylvania has always been a complicated case, and it's certainly the keystone here.
02:13:36.000And we're all waiting to see what happens.
02:13:38.000I'm happy to see him pulling ahead in those polls right now.
02:13:40.000So you know how, I think it's Nebraska and Maine, they split their electoral votes?
02:13:45.000I was just talking to someone downstairs, I think it was Brett, I'm not sure, but they were saying that if we did that system for every state, Romney would have won in 2012.
02:14:26.000Like, so that's a good example of like how, even if you're like deliberately not paying attention to politics, the good memes, they make it all the way to people who are totally got everything tuned out.
02:14:35.000And so BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN to me at first, I was like, Oh, that sounds terrible.
02:14:38.000But then I realized what it meant and what the context was.
02:14:41.000And the fact that he was like trying to hire a bunch of women.
02:14:42.000He was trying to hire a bunch of women.
02:17:04.000You know, I'm kind of curious what happens when we have a weekend at Bernie's president, you know, like Joe Biden is going to be in the Oval Office just like And he's going to be in a wheelchair with a blanket on his lap and we're going to be like, we have no president.
02:17:17.000I mean, there was some question about Reagan's ability to conduct the affairs of the office near the end of his term.
02:17:59.000I'm not gonna get over that because it's like, it's one thing when he stumbles and mutters, it's another thing when he mutters and jams all these words together and it's like, what?
02:18:08.000Like they're just the words that he's been like practicing that are just ingrained in his head and they're all just like... They all push together?
02:21:29.000I got out of town, thank God, to come out here and hang out with you guys.
02:21:32.000And as I'm leaving, there's reports of, you know, there's a huge barrier erected around the White House, the biggest barrier that's been erected, biggest perimeter.
02:21:41.000There was like a multi-day siege plan.
02:21:43.000There's been people planning this, you know, for months, basically.
02:21:47.000People were starting to gather at Black Lives Matter Plaza, also known as 16th and 8th Street Northwest.
02:21:54.000I saw some video clips of a guy getting punched in the face, a couple of other scuffles, already some arrests, and the night is just getting started down there.
02:22:01.000Usually things start to pop off crazy after 11, after 12, when all the sort of civilians leave and it's just the people who are down there looking to cause trouble, looking to cause make damage, riot, whatever.
02:22:12.000And, you know, if they got days of this planned, everybody in the city's got their stuff boarded up.
02:23:20.000I have more impact, you know, by staying safe and talking to people.
02:23:25.000You know, the thing about getting started in media and politics is that when you're relatively unknown, you can put on a mask, you can go down there, you can cover Antifa, but as soon as they figure out who you are, it's time to start covering it from a distance.
02:23:40.000And so that's, that's like a cycle everybody goes through.
02:23:42.000Although some people I know who are distantly high profile, like I want to go down and I'm like, they will stomp your face in like no joke.
02:24:12.000He said, whatever happens, can we agree that defund the police was among the most idiotic phrases ever uttered in the hopes of achieving a political goal?
02:27:21.000You're on like the seventh floor of some Manhattan condo, typing in your laptop, sipping your white wine with CNN on, and you feel unsafe?
02:27:32.000Well, the only people that they have to blame is Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and the rest of the Democratic establishment that launched into Trump is a Trump is Hitler.
02:27:40.000Trump is a foreign agent, and they believe they're gods of Obama and Clinton.
02:27:47.000That's exclusively self-inflicted wounds by the Democrats when they try to gaslight the whole entire country and end up just gaslighting their own people, turning them into deranged monsters with no political thinking skills, terrified of everything, terrified of a vote.
02:28:02.000Terrified of a president and now that they're like can't even manage day-to-day life and day-to-day stress I mean look I tweeted out earlier today myself hug your family go for a walk, you know Get ready for a long night.
02:28:14.000Who knows how long it's gonna take that that's pretty much the same message, but it's just not pathetic It's like it's just like do normal be a normal person not like oh, oh you this is like nuclear war You need to be prepared.
02:29:17.000My reaction when I got brought by these Brazilian cops, I'm a foreigner, I'm in this country, was I'm like nudging my friend like, dude, they're gonna beat us up!
02:29:32.000They put you in the dark room with no windows, and there's the couch, and they're gonna put us on it and punch us in the face!
02:29:37.000I was in a bunch of places, and I'll tell you, man, Not once have I ever felt a swelling of emotion that these people who are filming these videos express.
02:29:49.000Where they're screaming, if you're feeling this way, it's normal!
02:30:38.000I think it comes down to these people were starved for attention as children, and they're kind of having a hard time as adults because they don't want it.
02:30:44.000They've all been taught to be mentally ill.
02:30:47.000They've taught them that their emotions are more important than critical reasoning.
02:30:51.000They've taught them that your reaction to a statement is the responsibility of the speaker.
02:30:56.000They've been taught that your lived experience trumps facts and research.
02:31:22.000Celine, this brings me to you because I'm kind of curious if you've seen this on campus.
02:31:28.000Like, we're talking about children and infants and not being grown and your campus reforms.
02:31:32.000I'm like, is this something that you've seen?
02:31:34.000Yeah, well, I mean, well, yes, definitely to answer your question.
02:31:38.000But as far as just the election goes, we were trying to figure out what, you know, what's actually going to be happening on campus with this election, because there's not actually very many people on campus to where like, in 2016, there was like, all kinds of like protests and everything because obviously people were there now with COVID like most campuses people aren't there there's nobody actually on campus so now what it is is the actually the schools and the professors sending out like like wellness take care of yourself type guides like here's how to deal with the outcome of the election if it doesn't end up being what uh what you think it's going to be you know like
02:32:16.000Everything from, like, yoga instructions to just, like, you know, make sure to turn off your phone or your Twitter or make election-free news times.
02:32:25.000So, yeah, it's just like we were talking about, a culture of just coddling that turns into, you know, They eventually become adults.
02:32:36.000They enter the workforce and they turn into real people who have this expectation.
02:33:03.000One of the stories we covered the other day was about, oh, this thing that's kind of been a theme for a while, like, you know, having a standard English is racist because people in inner cities don't, you know, that's not their normal way of growing up speaking.
02:33:18.000Yeah, so that theme has been around for a while in academia.
02:33:23.000what's interesting is now that all the classes are online we're able to see like we can just record and like see all these classes like from anywhere in the country right um and so they were literally saying like well we're well our class is not um it's not a job interview and it's it's not um it they're not writing uh you know papers for academic review in this class so why should we even care about their english and it's like dude you're that's what you're supposed to be preparing them where are they supposed to be learning That's the whole point, is it not, of why they're there.
02:35:09.000Trump is now at 78 cents per share to Biden's 25 cents.
02:35:13.000Meaning if you really think Joe Biden is going to win, buy now.
02:35:19.000So the markets have been predicting this all day.
02:35:20.000As a matter of fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up, but in there, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up, but stocks that would perform better absent COVID restrictions like movie theaters, travel, resorts, cruise lines, things like that, they were up better than everybody else in the market.
02:38:34.000It looks like a W. It looks like what's going to end up happening is that Trump ends up winning, but there's going to have to be some lawsuits, and then they're going to claim Trump packed the court by filling seats and used the Supreme Court to steal the election.
02:38:50.000Well, at this point right now, you would say that you think that's still going to go to litigation, still going to go all the way up to the Supreme Court?
02:40:00.000The amount of money spent on the litigation.
02:40:01.000There's teams and teams of lawyers standing by.
02:40:04.000They've got briefs and papers and motions and everything already filed and written and ready to go.
02:40:08.000If you want to get a really good breakdown on what the Democrats are going to do in order to try to steal the election should Trump win, Go to my YouTube page, Jack Murphy Live, look at the video I did with Darren Beattie.
02:40:18.000Darren Beattie was a Trump administration speechwriter.
02:40:22.000He has a PhD in math and he's a political science expert, philosopher, philosophy expert as well.
02:40:28.000And he has researched this extensively, color revolutions.
02:42:34.000One of the reasons I wrote the book was because I wanted to give people a roadmap.
02:42:39.000Because like shaking free of your political beliefs and shaking free of the ideologies that you've allowed to sort of seep into your brain.
02:42:58.000It's like being out in the wilderness.
02:43:00.000You're sort of adrift and you have to find your people.
02:43:02.000And so one of the reasons I wrote the book is I wanted to show the stories and the arcs of people that went through this process, what it was like for them, how they came out on the other side.
02:43:11.000And when you get here, When you get on the other side of the wall, how it's a nice, warm, happy place to be.
02:43:18.000The way I talk about it is, yes, it takes a while to get over your fear, because like you said, so many people today, we have our identity tied up in things that are not our identity, our opinions or ideas or our political party.
02:43:31.000Or I know a lot of people on the left who even for this election were wanting to vote Trump, but thinking, well, what does that say about me?
02:43:39.000Does that make me I'm not a liberal anymore?
02:43:52.000If you believe in liberal principles and you're voting for Trump because you believe he's the most liberal candidate, which I do, you haven't changed as much as the party has changed.
02:44:28.000I'm also an advocate of, you know, cannabis deregulation.
02:44:31.000I'm a fan of, or a supporter of You know, gay marriage, when Obergefell happened, that was what opened the door for me to feel comfortable supporting a Republican, you know, that that was established and just finished law.
02:44:43.000And so once that happened and now it looks like that cannabis is really just just a matter of time, basically.
02:44:49.000And those issues sort of came off the table.
02:44:51.000And then, oh, you know, there's room for people to switch parties at that point.
02:44:54.000There's room for people who thought they were Democrats.
02:44:57.000Why was I a Democrat when I was younger?
02:44:58.000Because I wanted people to leave me alone.
02:45:00.000Because I wanted to be able to like smoke weed, listen to my music, you know, and I just wanted people to have the ability to live their own lives and not be molested.
02:45:08.000And here now, the people on the left are the ones that the left are the great molesters.
02:45:52.000And they're just so uninformed as to what the ideologies and the politicians and that they support, what they really represent, what they really mean.
02:46:02.000They hear Black Lives Matter like, oh yeah, Black Lives Matter.
02:46:05.000But then they don't understand that it's actually a bunch of communists that want to disrupt the nuclear family, diminish the power of the mail.
02:46:11.000They want to do all kinds of terrible things.
02:46:13.000And yet people are like, oh yeah, Black Lives Matter, but you try to explain it to them.
02:46:17.000So remember when that guy in Portland got shot by Antifa and there was like random dudes like videotaped the whole thing?
02:46:23.000I interviewed a guy who videotaped the whole thing.
02:48:36.000And so what do you do when half the country are foot soldiers in a war where they don't know why the generals have recruited them and they're totally just sort of patsies and they're patsies who think they have the higher upper moral moral high ground?
02:49:02.000I mean, because I've had people contact me and say, you know, my brother's social justice or my girlfriend or my child or, you know, what are the steps to wake someone up from this cult of belief?
02:49:13.000And I can tell you what happened to me, but it doesn't mean you can show Yeah.
02:49:19.000a person those same videos or have them read the same thing that's going to wake them up.
02:49:23.000What really happened, what I've noticed in a lot of people who've left the social justice
02:49:26.000left is that they had a transformative personal moment.
02:49:31.000Like went through some trial or struggle where in my case it was figuring out like what do
02:49:39.000You know, I was going through a divorce at the time.
02:49:42.000There were a lot of personal things in my life and a personal crisis where I started trying to just step by step figure out, what do I believe about everything?
02:49:49.000Like, what's even meaningful to me in life?
02:50:27.000You know, maybe if Trump wins here, is it going to cause even more of a reaction on the left, more of a doubling down, more Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, whatever?
02:50:46.000So that was one of my fears, Jack, was one of the things that held me back from deciding to vote for him was because I was afraid, you know, that whole idea of the law of attraction, whatever, like the thing you focus on, you might bring into fruition, you might attract it or you might manifest it in your life.
02:51:02.000And so I was thinking if I'm voting for him because I want to push back against social justice ideology, because it's not liberal, Are they going to do what they did in 2016 and double down on it and go further into it?
02:53:20.000You know, and I had I had like bona fides to back it up.
02:53:23.000I thought that that would help them take me seriously when I said, no, really, guys, like I've thought about this a lot.
02:53:29.000I'm coming at this from a place of love.
02:53:32.000Supporting Donald Trump is a place of love for America and love for you, you crazy SJWs, because I know you're just sort of taken right now.
02:53:42.000There's no rational or critical thinking happening, and so I try to sit there and wait, and I think in five years maybe, I hope one day, one of them will just be like, That Jack was right, but I doubt it.
02:53:55.000They're never going to want to admit it.
02:54:11.000And there was an escalation of these incidents like the Yale incident, the Nicholas Christakis You know, there was the Charles Murray incident, Heather McDonald.
02:54:22.000Even the director of Boys Don't Cry was called a transphobe and, you know, awful names by the social justice left.
02:54:30.000And as I saw these things happening, I started to realize this is going to get bigger.
02:54:37.000But how long have you been working for Campus Reform and what kind of lessons, what do we have to look forward to in the future, to expect, based on what's been happening at the colleges?
02:54:49.000Yeah, I think that's a great question.
02:54:54.000I think we've seen, I mean, since I've been with Campus Reform to answer your question
02:54:59.000in one sense or another since probably 2017.
02:55:04.000And that was the year, which is kind of why I got involved was because in California,
02:55:33.000And so the kind of the hecklers veto thing with Charles Murray, Milo, whatever it is,
02:55:39.000kind of grew and grew and grew to now it's where like, they don't even want anyone to
02:55:45.000be able to even say anything on their campus that might go against what they've been taught
02:55:54.000by their professors or, or what is the just the general consensus of people around them.
02:56:00.000And it's kind of ever, you know, it perpetuates, right?
02:56:05.000Because The people who were in school in 2017 are now TAs and will be professors and kind of the academia just kind of compounds upon itself to where they're all just in this like we talk about echo chambers but like it's an intense echo chamber where they're crazy ass ideas just sound normal to them.
02:56:50.000But that's like literally what they're teaching people in school.
02:56:54.000You're paying to learn, to get a degree, to learn that the nuclear family is an issue.
02:57:01.000And then they go to work in the real world, like at Twitter.
02:57:03.000And then when somebody says something that's like normal, they're like, okay, you're oppressing.
02:57:08.000They go to work in the real world and the corporations have decided that instead of making the new applicants or the new people adjust to their existing corporate culture, they're just completely bending and doing exactly what the new kids are demanding because it's all cloaked in this righteousness.
02:57:26.000How could you be against preventing bias in hiring?
02:57:30.000How could you be against sexual harassment?
02:57:33.000How could you be against all these things?
02:57:47.000And so it's just fascinating to have seen how the universities have produced these people into the corporate world who then have transformed corporations from top to bottom.
02:57:58.000And in my book, I wrote how I wrote college campuses are like the ground zero.
02:58:03.000The college student is patient zero in the culture war because they get turned out of the university and they crisscross the country and they take over these institutions.
02:58:34.000So I think, I think a misconception that conservatives have had, this is just me as an observer, is that this idea of these woke college students being somehow unemployable and they're all going to live in their mom's basement or they're going to stay in academia, but they don't because they go out into the world and they work at, and they transform, as you said, corporations, big social, entertainment, All right, these are our elite institutions training our
02:59:03.000elite leaders who then are part of the blue church and go to New York City and San Francisco and
02:59:08.000People that are hiring them just graduated a few years ago and they're learning the same stuff and they're just
02:59:12.000learning a more extreme example of it.
02:59:14.000And the other thing too is, you know, it used to be, okay, you learned this stuff when you like, you know,
02:59:19.000you know, in the feminist theory classes or whatever the fringe kind of sociology classes
03:02:17.000Thank goodness it didn't hit me before then.
03:02:19.000But yeah, second grade, kindergartners.
03:02:23.000My biggest fears, I guess, with where the ideology is spreading would be pre-K and the churches, because it's also moving into the churches and changing the churches.
03:02:35.000But I want to see something like campus reform, but for elementary schools.
03:02:41.000We need something like that, that's reporting.
03:02:42.000Because I hear from parents all the time, how do I push back against this?
03:02:48.000And I've investigated what's going on in my kids' schools and they're doing these struggle sessions based on courageous conversations, which is the absolute worst drivel out there.
03:02:56.000The precondition for participating in these struggle sessions is to say, I'm comfortable sitting and examining my whiteness.
03:03:18.000And he's he's giving hints that, you know, inside the Department of Education that Betsy DeVos and team are looking at ways to attack critical race theory in K to 12 now, right after Trump's executive order that has sort of set a standard.
03:03:33.000And now it would be logical for the you know, the executive branch.
03:03:38.000You know, the cabinet offices to roll out that executive order.
03:03:41.000And K to 12, you know, if you take federal funding, you should be able to have to comply with federal mandates like that, which is sort of similar to how the 2011 DCL Dear Colleague letter, sort of the opposite way, how that happened through sort of executive order.
03:03:57.000There was the changes to the Title IX in 2011.
03:04:03.000It happened without You know, a vote, it happened, but it was just a letter that they wrote changing interpretation of various words like harassment and such and violence and whatnot that completely transformed what was going on college campuses.
03:04:17.000And Joe Biden was, of course, the king of rape culture.
03:04:20.000He was the one who swallowed the bait, the hook, the line, the sinker, the pole, and even the little girl that brought him the study that said that one in four girls on college campuses were getting raped.
03:04:31.000And he was like, Oh my God, what are we going to do?
03:04:34.000And so what they do, they took away men's civil rights on campus and they injected basically radical feminist thought straight through the financial pipelines into all the universities, doubled up all the Title IX offices, made them responsible for not only dealing with cases that were brought to them, but like seeking out and preventing any cases from happening as well of harassment or violence.
03:04:58.000And of course, you know, harassment is now like, I don't like the shirt you're wearing, right?
03:05:03.000Or I don't like your Halloween costume.
03:05:05.000We heard about that a couple of years ago up at Yale and whatnot.
03:05:22.000Well, we, I mean, I think they were strong enough from the point of, you know, what they actually were, but what we saw was colleges just outright, the whole systems of colleges just outright rejecting them.
03:05:33.000I mean, the entire, both systems in California, UC and CSU, just as soon as he did that, wrote letters that were like, okay, well, we're just not gonna, we're just not gonna abide by this, or we're just gonna go with what it was before.
03:05:46.000We're gonna decide, you know, we're gonna conduct a review of these changes and decide if we want to go Yeah, the Office of Civil Rights needs to step in and start enforcing that stuff immediately.
03:05:57.000There's so many things that I wish he could have done a little bit better.
03:05:59.000Maybe if he gets elected again, he'll do them better.
03:06:21.000And I want us to look at the states and where we're at.
03:06:23.000I just saw... So, I have to tell you something.
03:06:27.000I'm in this... She's in a focus group.
03:06:28.000I'm in a focus group with BBC of, I think it's 25 voters, and so we're in a WhatsApp community where they are sharing some of our messages online.
03:06:37.000And the Biden people, if I'm to take their reaction as any kind of indicator, the Biden people are starting, some of them are starting to get nasty and also freaking out.
03:08:31.000And then now the Biden people are like, on that note, I'm logging off.
03:08:37.000Yeah, I was looking at polls comparing like Hispanic voter turnout and support for Biden now compared to what it was for 2016 Hillary.
03:08:47.000And Trump is doing so much better than he did four years ago with Hispanics.
03:08:50.000So I think that's super interesting the way that Democrats really tried to court the whole like open borders thing as well as trying to embrace things like socialism.
03:08:59.000And I think for a lot of especially Cuban-Americans, hello Florida!
03:09:43.000Yeah, I've had to pay the fees and everything.
03:09:45.000I've had to get the background checks, the medical tests.
03:09:48.000It's a big cost in terms of time, in terms of money.
03:09:51.000And it's kind of a slap in the face when someone like Joe Biden turns around and says, pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal aliens.
03:09:58.000It's like, well, what are you going to do for the people?
03:10:00.000You know, who've been on green cards, who don't have citizenship, who are on special types of visas, who don't have citizenship.
03:11:22.000And that's a huge, if you look at like breakdown of who voted for who, I mean really in any election the divide between rural and urban is super huge.
03:11:30.000It's like it's as big as like almost between the genders or between you know different racial and income groups.
03:11:36.000Well, I think people who are in cities, they're used to a lot of things, like, let's say, we were talking about this last night, you don't have to worry about self-defense if you're five minutes away from a police station as much, right?
03:11:49.000Why would they need guns if they have police right around the corner?
03:11:51.000Well, I mean, that's one as well, and you're also, it's like a...
03:11:55.000I don't know, it's probably a more diverse community.
03:11:59.000The jobs are different, that people work in cities versus rural voters as well.
03:12:03.000Like, education levels, there's a whole bunch of different things.
03:12:06.000That's true, there's a lot of different components.
03:12:07.000You're making me think of, my preacher talks about how he thinks that conservatives or Christians have abandoned the cities to some degree.
03:12:18.000Instead of staying there and trying to change the culture, that they've run from the culture war.
03:12:45.000I saw that they, you know, walked it back.
03:12:48.000But then before I came up here it kind of looked like that might have been a little bit of the red mirage type thing because it was still the northern Virginia counties that they were.
03:12:57.000I think when I just came up it was red for now.
03:13:22.000I can look at it here when we're done or when I have a chance to go to the bathroom next.
03:13:27.000Tim what's your take on them saying Virginia is ahead, but if you look at the votes Trump is up good a good percentage That's what we were just talking about he is in fact up a good percentage And it was interesting to see them calling it for Biden when you know Trump is up like multiple Percentage so well, I guess it depends on we were talking about this last night.
03:13:48.000There's not last night downstairs It depends on what precincts are in right now Yeah, so if they're all the rural ones in right now heavily for Trump, but the cities haven't been counted yet It may still make sense to call it for Biden depending on what Trump's lead is But apparently that's not that accurate a way to do it because it looks like Virginia may actually go back to for Trump now So interesting I'm really curious.
03:14:09.000Virginia is kind of the wild card this time.
03:14:26.000I believe you that your friends are all Trump supporters but Minnesota oh my gosh stronghold stronghold democratic as far as I can tell that's Ilhan Omar's stomping ground but it's that's that is surprising to me because if somewhere like Kenosha can you know be affected by the riots maybe go red I mean Minneapolis was crazy yeah I know I'm curious I think that probably did swing it more than we realized and I'm really curious about Minneapolis I guess
03:14:55.000We'll look in, like, a few days after this all settles down a little bit and see how Minneapolis did.
03:16:10.000Tim knows a lot more about it than I do, and then we'll have Andrew talk about it when he comes up here, because he's waving at me from over in the corner.
03:17:28.000One of my friends is watching The Young Turks, which again, I want to do as soon as I leave here.
03:17:34.000They say that apparently they're mad that Dems lost union worker voters.
03:17:39.000So that's what they're complaining about right now.
03:17:41.000I'm not surprised though if you look at someone like Trump he's been very like pro manufacturing etc etc versus like this time around I did see that in the primaries especially Democrats tried to like give huge nods to unions and things like that but at the same time they're also Kind of open borders, which as we all know if you're in a like a lower skilled job or manual job, that's going to affect your wages.
03:18:03.000Yeah, you're going to have a problem with that.
03:18:35.000You know, I was devastated that Trump won, but then I started trying to figure out why he won.
03:18:39.000This is what set me on my path, in a way, because I wanted to understand it, because I thought, if we don't understand why he won, we can't beat him next time.
03:19:22.000Basically, every state that is part of this compact, they basically pledged to give their electoral votes to the person that won the popular vote.
03:19:42.000And that's fine, but there aren't enough states that, like say New York, right?
03:19:48.000You know, it's probably going to be a Democrat that wins the popular vote, so it's not changing anything.
03:24:31.000And you bet So if you bet all your money on Biden, and if Biden wins, then you take your winnings and invest in gold when we go into... The depression.
03:25:59.000Yeah, but I would say maybe even sooner.
03:26:01.000I mean, yeah, and it's disappointing to see, but it's like I feel like You know, if Trump continues, like, trying to work on the wall, it needs to extend around California.
03:26:25.000I've been so frustrated with that fault line there and I'm like, we're paying this fault line to break California off into the ocean and they've done nothing.
03:26:37.000Lydia and I were talking about this off camera, but I'm someone who moved to Texas from California, which makes me somewhat hypocritical about other Californians coming to the states.
03:26:49.000However, it coincided with my beliefs changing and, you know, the first time I ever voted Republican was in Texas in 2018.
03:26:58.000And what I don't understand are the fellow transplants I've met who've said...
03:27:04.000You know, I'll meet them, we'll go through a conversation, they'll tell me all the reasons they left California, why it became unlivable, but then they'll finish the conversation by saying, you know, nice to meet you, we need more California and Texas, if you know what I mean, and I don't know what you mean.
03:27:17.000And what is that disconnect between being aware of a situation that's become unaffordable or unlivable for you for certain reasons, but not being able to connect it back to the policies and the people you're voting for?
03:27:32.000I guess it's like the cognitive dissonance between your ideology and your belief system versus your everyday life, right?
03:27:39.000Because I think there's a lot of Californians who probably think they do believe in something like a redistributive tax policy.
03:27:44.000Like, of course I want to help the poor, etc.
03:27:46.000But then they're also confronted with, man, I'm spending a lot of money on these regulations.
03:27:56.000And I don't think it's that easy for some of these people to actually, you know, divorce those two things, which is frustrating because then you're going to like Texas is just a little bit behind Arizona, which as we're already seeing now, like before it was purple, like it's I mean, it's blue right now.
03:28:12.000And I think like as long as these like Californians keep acting like locusts, not like you, because you're not going to bring the policies with you.
03:28:19.000This is just going to be a cycle that keeps repeating itself.
03:28:22.000And I think the only hope for California currently is that If so many Californians leave California, where it can just become this no-man's land for a little bit, and then eventually become resettled and repopulated?
03:28:37.000Otherwise, I don't see any hope for California, unfortunately.
03:28:40.000I think you're right, Lauren, where you're saying that people are splitting the difference.
03:28:46.000They're like, well, our schools are terrible.
03:28:52.000think about those things but they then when they go to Texas they're like you
03:28:56.000know I hate guns yeah we need we I need to go to the City Council and they need
03:29:02.000to talk to them about local you know you know I need to get that that that gun
03:29:08.000shop to shut down and you know because they're in a school zone or whatever I
03:29:13.000don't know but it you're they don't take the whole thing into consideration like
03:29:18.000California is bad because of all these things they just think California is bad
03:29:21.000because of these two things I really care about because I have kids and I
03:29:24.000want better schools and you know but Well, you know we can go to Texas and we can we can fix all the things that we like Texas But there's a lot of things wrong that we can fix and and it's it's That's what's killing Texas It's so arrogant it's I'm coming into this place that I like that new place in this culture But now I I'm going to change it to the one I just left which I I couldn't live in mm-hmm.
03:30:52.000Okay, let's read a little bit from 538.
03:30:53.000Okay, this is another consequence of Democrats not picking a bunch of Senate seats would be that it would become very unlikely they'd have the votes to do anything about the courts.
03:31:06.000Good point because it doesn't look like Democrats are doing well.
03:31:11.000So right now Biden has 187, Trump has 114, whatever, we talked about that.
03:31:15.000Democrats have 41, Senate seats Republicans have 44.
03:31:40.000Lauren and I downstairs were talking about how we've never been to a Trump rally, and I really want to go to a Trump rally, you know, just for that experience.
03:31:53.000We're hoping that if Trump wins that he'll do more rallies.
03:32:54.000I mean, I think that's probably going to be and, you know, even just based off of, like you said, the cycle, It's pretty likely that Trump is going to win re-election because he's the incumbent.
03:33:04.000And for a lot of people, it's just, oh, right, you're still president.
03:33:11.000And with that being said, usually by two terms, people are fed up and then they go back to the other side, which is, I think, probably what's going to happen.
03:33:19.000I mean, I would love to see some sort of like Trump dynasty where it's like Pence after this and then, you know, like Barron or something by then.
03:33:34.000But I think in terms of the next four years, next two years are definitely going to be frustrating because it's going to be the same gridlock pretty much that we're in right now.
03:33:42.000I mean, there's not really going to be any movement meaningful on the budget or health care with Democrats controlling the House.
03:35:43.000Acceleration so that more people wake up and until they learn their lesson and return to liberal values, which I don't know if they'll ever do.
03:35:51.000But I think hopefully they're going to keep, as long as they stay on this woke path, which is not liberal, I hope they keep losing people.
03:35:59.000And I hope in four years, like you said, Pence or someone, I can't even believe I'm saying that.
03:36:45.000Yeah, we're doing this this and this and and he's he's just like the yin and yang.
03:36:52.000He was in the vice presidential debate with Kamala.
03:36:56.000I mean she was so smug and condescending.
03:36:59.000But he was he was sort of like that very patient and loving father at the Thanksgiving dinner table after his daughter's come home from college and is calling him a white supremacist and he's just like patiently putting up with her arrogance and her smugness
03:37:14.000and with love I felt like wow like he's he's not letting it trigger him he's not
03:37:19.000responding in the same way you know he's not giving her arrogance back.
03:37:22.000Yeah Pence did the same thing with Tim Kaine. Tim Kaine looked like an
03:37:30.000impatient person and he like just Pence's calmness just really got under
03:37:38.000Tim Kaine's skin and it's so just Just as far as a vice presidential pick, I do not understand, to this day,
03:39:10.000So after this presidency, whatever, whoever this is that wins, if it is a Republican, I dare say I have a contentious idea that if we do have a Republican again, I think that it will be time for a Democrat.
03:39:23.000And hopefully by that point in time the Democrats will have realized that identity politics is not the way to go, that being woke is an awful idea, and that these kinds of ideas just don't work.
03:42:20.000But if Biden wins, there's no way that the Democrats are going to get a second term because they're going to be like, you just wasted our time.
03:42:53.000Yeah, and also, I mean, people were saying that about Hillary Clinton, again, sexism.
03:42:58.000So I want to ask you all, is it us, like, are we just being sexist against Kamala Harris or Kamala, sorry, or is she really just unlikable?
03:43:07.000Because I try to, you know, put myself in a position where, all right, what if I didn't know what her political beliefs are?
03:43:12.000Would I really find this woman this Unlikable?
03:43:16.000And part of me just says, yes, she's obviously fake and manufactured, but I don't know.
03:43:22.000All these Democrats are trying to tell me that actually she's stunning and brave and empowering and funny.
03:43:43.000And so I was in a lot of non-profits, and one of them, it was called Women Action the Media, and we would spend time doing things that maybe people on the right would find inconsequential or small, but we would do letter-writing campaigns.
03:43:54.000Anytime a journalist referred to a woman as unlikable or something, we would do letter-writing campaigns.
03:44:10.000They're getting the AP to do new style guides on what language is sexist and which language is not.
03:44:15.000And then people start... It gets cemented in the...
03:44:18.000In the minds of people that work in the media, that while these things are now things we're not allowed to say about women, it's simply untrue.
03:44:56.000And see, obviously that's part of the double standard, but when it comes to Hillary and when it comes to Kamala, they're going for the first and second highest offices in Yeah.
03:45:55.000Because we don't encourage them to want to run because you live in a sexist society that tells little girls that when they disagree they're being bossy and they should never assert themselves.
03:47:44.000This is interesting because this actually gets into what we were discussing earlier about UBI and command economies and the idea of looking at an entire social structure and saying like, no, we need more people in this place or that place, despite the fact that they're choosing something different when we leave them to their own devices.
03:48:50.000Maybe women, you know, are you going to go, look, The only job that we're going to give you, your government job, you know, the House and the Senate and the Green New Deal.
03:49:02.000And, you know, they're just going to be like, well, OK, you you're going to have a government job now so you can pick between, you know, garbage, garbage woman.
03:49:13.000Well, it's really funny, though, because people will say this.
03:49:17.000I mean, they'll look at different girls, and when we sit here and we point out the fact that women just tend not to be interested in the fields that the progressive left thinks that they should have parity in, and you say that, like, well, you know, it does actually tend to be the case that women work fewer hours because they are, as a whole, more interested in mothering and paying attention to their children.
03:49:35.000They look at you as if you've said something horrible because they view that as a bad thing, which is strange.
03:49:39.000I mean, why would it be bad to just want to be a mother?
03:49:42.000Why would it be bad to want to focus more attention on your family than on your career?
03:49:47.000They're the ones who make that assessment, and it's ironic because that's actually a quote-unquote patriarchal assumption, right?
03:49:53.000You're assuming the thing which is traditionally assigned to women or traditionally done by women is worse than the thing that is traditionally done by men.
03:51:34.000Wouldn't it be funny if they're like reporting accurately and we're just accusing them of hating Trump because we don't like the results and if Biden wins and we're like, they really hate Trump.
03:53:07.000I wasn't paying attention to the television at this exact point, but one of those pundits on CNN was just pointing to a place that was red, and he said three times, like, it's not real yet.
03:54:51.000the african-american candidate excuse me that's the republican veteran republican the republican veteran yes thank you he's he's oh and collins is up in maine 52 so wait it's looking like a gop senate Yeah, it is, it is actually.
04:00:21.000If you have, I don't know how many people they have actively on the site, but that's a massive amount of people calculating the data coming from all these different news networks.
04:00:27.000And you've got to understand too, the people buying shares aren't all watching Fox or CNN or ABC.
04:00:32.000You've got all different people watching all different networks making their best guess.
04:02:12.000Biden was in like a Popemobile with a hazmat suit on, making sure he never had any human contact at any of his rallies.
04:02:20.000It's almost like people don't trust you when you act like that.
04:02:23.000It's almost like there's something that communicates implicitly, even if you're not attempting to communicate it, that makes people not like you.
04:02:30.000So I'm pretty sure that we're all going to be banned.
04:02:35.000We're all going to be banned because in the coming days, there's already a lot of... Earlier, there was some dude posted on Twitter that they were throwing out Trump votes.
04:02:45.000And so I guess some municipal board put out a statement saying, we're launching a criminal investigation.
04:02:50.000And Twitter actually started blocking people from sharing this, which is crazy because it was like trying to debunk fake news about the election.
04:03:14.000know deep game where they were like okay we're gonna we're gonna make this look
04:03:18.000you know like Hunter Biden's yeah man's you know even if here's the thing even
04:03:24.000if it was sketchy or what they're saying isn't true it's pretty selective yeah
04:03:28.000they decide to censor for yeah exactly exactly it's one-sided it's highly in
04:03:33.000one direction entirely and so right now they're already saying well Trump may be
04:03:37.000winning in these places but the early vote still to be counted and there's
04:03:42.000400,000 outstanding that haven't been counted in Virginia yet so it's like we
04:03:46.000just pulled a number out of our hat and we're gonna say you know Biden wins
04:03:51.000In the coming days, there's going to be a ton of lawsuits.
04:03:54.000And how much you want to bet, Trump will file a lawsuit saying something like, these ballots in this place are illegitimate.
04:04:01.000And then if I say, breaking news, Trump campaign says they're illegitimate, they're going to say, no, the mainstream media says fake news, therefore you're pushing misinformation to delegitimize the results.
04:04:20.000The fake news media is completely— I mean, the news media is completely right about— They're completely correct about everything all the time.
04:04:26.000Tomorrow, people are going to tune into my channel, and I'm going to be wearing a suit with no beanie on, and I'm going to be like, Joe Biden wins in a landslide, according to CNN, which is perfect truth and correct always, never gets anything wrong.
04:04:47.000You know, it's really funny, though, in that I constantly hear from these people who are like really dumb.
04:04:54.000So this one guy I'm not going to name.
04:04:56.000That's half of, you know, Biden's speeches.
04:04:59.000So I had someone comment on my Instagram saying it was like I posted something innocuous and they were like, I can't wait until Trump loses so that you go so that you're gone.
04:05:13.000I had someone comment on my Facebook and they were like, what are you even gonna do once Trump loses?
04:06:13.000There will be plenty of content to parody and there will be plenty to comment on.
04:06:19.000Trump is his own weird industry though.
04:06:21.000So the media talks about him more than they've talked about any other president and they get down to the slightest things and there's part of me that's wondering if he were to lose, I wonder how much of it would be because he got two scoops of ice cream.
04:06:32.000As soon as he got those two scoops, I was like, well, he's getting zero votes from me.
04:07:24.000And the same thing with the White House press correspondents.
04:07:28.000They complained that they weren't getting daily press briefings, that Sarah Sanders stopped doing them, and that Stephanie Grisham, she didn't even do one when she was press secretary.
04:07:39.000She didn't do one press briefing in the briefing room.
04:08:11.000He doesn't, it's hilarious, he does it often enough.
04:08:13.000He'll call them out, but he's never like Biden, where Biden will say, you know, call people chumps and ugly, and if anybody ever, like, are you a chump?
04:08:25.000But they were ugly chumps though, those guys Biden was talking about.
04:09:41.000And then I remember that Veritas release came out where they had the producer on hidden camera saying, we used to go on the ground, we don't anymore.
04:09:49.000And then I realized, I was like, yeah, I turned it off and switched to Fox.
04:09:53.000And I got annoyed because, like, I remember I was watching Fox News and they had a Fox and Friends segment where in the morning they were saying evolution wasn't real.
04:10:00.000And I thought it was just hilarious that I'm like, is this the best I can do right now?
04:10:11.000And now I'm hearing from friends and family that they were like, I turn on CNN to see what's going on in the news and they won't talk about anything that matters.
04:10:19.000Well, and this is something I was kind of getting at earlier, though the conversation shifted.
04:10:24.000If Trump doesn't win, I wonder how much of that is just going to be people who are so sick of hearing about him all the time.
04:10:30.000He's occupied more mental space for the average person than any other president, and it's not necessarily just because of who he is, it's because of the way that he's covered.
04:10:59.000But they can, you know, you have Hannity and you have Tucker and you have all these guys complaining about the Democratic president, right?
04:11:06.000You know, CNN and like the Washington Post, they're not going to do... I mentioned this last time, but the Washington Post, they basically made a news division That would only cover Trump.
04:11:21.000That was their job, to investigate Trump.
04:13:13.000And then Trump won and I was like, no way.
04:13:15.000If Trump can win, then it must be a real system.
04:13:19.000That's exactly what I thought too, the night he won.
04:13:21.000I was like, oh, so this isn't just some person who's picked in a room by a group.
04:13:28.000It's not to say that I thought, it's not to say that my active theory was there's just this cigar room and they sit around and think like, who are we going to pick for the presidency?
04:13:36.000But I think everyone kind of has that curiosity, like, what if the whole thing is just rigged?
04:13:40.000But then when Trump won, I was like, this isn't rigged.
04:14:43.000But as far as the media getting behind people, remember, I mean, I was having flashbacks, you know, when they were saying, you know, Hillary, like HuffPo was saying, you know, that Hillary had a 96% chance or 99 or whatever.
04:14:56.000And then just like last week, it's like Biden has a 90 blah, blah, blah chance.
04:15:01.000And I'm just like, You've got to be kidding me.
04:15:04.000What lessons aren't you... You need to learn something.
04:15:32.000But they pumped $104 million dollars into the Democratic challenger and they were saying like this guy was a second coming, like he was definitely Definitely gonna be.
04:15:44.000He was giving Lindsey Graham a run for his money.
04:19:07.000the gift well I just think it's funny that like it wasn't like a top you
04:19:10.000couldn't limit yourself like a top 10 list is like top 50 because it's Joe
04:19:13.000Biden's gas well I did it was more than 50 I did a top to be fair I did a top
04:19:21.00030 and I thought there's no way that you know people were gonna want to watch
04:19:26.000like you know 50 right and And then people were saying, well, you didn't, you didn't put this in, you didn't put this in, you didn't put this, you didn't put in Corn Pop.
04:19:35.000Because he had 20 that were famous enough, there were 20 left out.
04:19:42.000The Intercept ran, this was Glenn Greenwald, now he's gone, but he wrote an article saying like the top 20 failures of Russiagate, and then they had 20 honorable mentions.
04:19:53.000So it was like all of these stories that were completely fake that were pushed and it was actually 40.

04:23:45.000He knows all these young millennials got vinyl.
04:23:49.000When they're putting the kid to bed, they want to pop out that sweet vinyl.
04:23:52.000You know what the whole thing with the record player thing was?
04:23:56.000Yeah, but you know what the whole thing was?
04:23:58.000It was like, you know, we need social workers to go into people's homes and teach their children, you know, like, teach them how to raise their children.
