Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - MAJOR Democrat Stronghold Just Endorsed Trump, Union Country Says TRUMP 2020

00:00:00.000 This morning, Benny Johnson tweeted out a 9 minute long video of people calling into C-SPAN

00:00:34.000 and saying that they were leaving the Democratic Party and they'd be voting for Trump.

00:00:38.000 And they gave a variety of reasons for this.

00:00:40.000 The rioting, the Democrats move far left, the embrace of socialism, basically the same thing.

00:00:45.000 But I guess you can say the far left in many ways is a reference to cancel culture and this weird identity politics.

00:00:50.000 But we got big breaking news!

00:00:53.000 I love saying news that way, by the way.

00:00:54.000 News!

00:00:55.000 Yeah, because it makes it sound better.

00:00:56.000 No, it's because Luke says news.

00:00:59.000 Doesn't what's-his-name on Vdrama say it, too?

00:01:01.000 No.

00:01:02.000 Good news, everyone.

00:01:03.000 News.

00:01:04.000 Here's the breaking news.

00:01:06.000 Six cities in the Iron Range, a Union Democrat stronghold, have just written a letter endorsing Donald Trump.

00:01:15.000 And this is crazy.

00:01:16.000 This is the biggest Democrat stronghold outside of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and this is huge for one reason.

00:01:23.000 It's funny.

00:01:24.000 It's not just these people who have endorsed Donald Trump, because there's more to the story.

00:01:29.000 A lot of people are talking about these Republicans who are endorsing Joe Biden.

00:01:33.000 And they're like, you know, oh look all these old Republicans supporting Joe

00:01:37.000 Biden, that means Trump is bad. 0.99

00:01:38.000 Listen, I'll tell you what, these Republicans supporting Joe Biden are swamp monsters and spooks. 0.97

00:01:43.000 People who used to work for intelligence agencies. So by all means, you can have them, okay? If 0.94

00:01:47.000 they're going to go and endorse Biden, I'm not going to try and win them back over.

00:01:52.000 Union workers, however, hey, come on over.

00:01:55.000 right? Come on over. Now, so, you know, I I have some people on Facebook, smack-talking, saying things like, I'm pretending to support Trump or whatever, and it's like, I don't understand how I can do four hours of content every single day, and people just don't understand.

00:02:10.000 You could probably build a psych profile on me, and map out exactly where I've been and where I'm going, and make a prediction like, yeah, I imagine it'll be here at this point.

00:02:19.000 Because it's really obvious.

00:02:20.000 You know, before the riots, I was like, I don't know, I'm not going to vote for Trump.

00:02:23.000 Then the riots happened.

00:02:24.000 I was like, I bought guns!

00:02:26.000 Now I have many guns.

00:02:27.000 Interesting turnaround.

00:02:28.000 I remember the first time I heard you say, and I consciously noticed that you were talking about how big cities run by Democrats did not seem to be doing well.

00:02:36.000 I was like, yes, yes, this is what I have been saying.

00:02:39.000 How's it going, everybody?

00:02:41.000 So we've got this, we've got some other- So we're gonna talk about this too.

00:02:43.000 I mean, this is huge, and we'll go over what the Iron Range is, and we got some other tweets.

00:02:48.000 It's really crazy to me to see this paranoid, delusional bubble from the Beltway politicians.

00:02:52.000 There is this huge thread going viral, and I mean viral viral, where this lady's like, Trump is trying to become an autocrat, America is falling to an autocratic takeover.

00:03:01.000 I just love the Twitter universe.

00:03:04.000 Twitter is not reality.

00:03:05.000 It is special.

00:03:06.000 Facebook might be, though.

00:03:08.000 Yeah.

00:03:08.000 That's another story that we have.

00:03:10.000 These journalists who are crying because Ben Shapiro basically owns Facebook.

00:03:16.000 And I mean that in the sense they say he wants to own the libs.

00:03:18.000 Well, like, the top posts are almost always from The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro, so they're accusing him of Oh yeah.

00:03:23.000 and all this other stuff. And then we're going to talk about how college is bad and some

00:03:26.000 other things. So if you haven't already, give that like button a good old smash because

00:03:29.000 it does help support the channel. Sharing the video also really does help if you like

00:03:32.000 the show. Today it's just me and Lydia hanging out.

00:03:35.000 Oh yeah.

00:03:36.000 But on Monday we're going to have Kimberly Klesik and I'm really, really excited about

00:03:38.000 that.

00:03:40.000 She has probably the biggest political ad ever, right?

00:03:44.000 I think so.

00:03:45.000 Yeah.

00:03:46.000 I feel like everyone has seen it at this point.

00:03:47.000 She's walking through Baltimore in her high heels.

00:03:50.000 Talking about Democrat cities.

00:03:51.000 Talking about Democrat cities.

00:03:52.000 And she's like, they don't really care.

00:03:53.000 Look what's happened.

00:03:54.000 She gives numbers.

00:03:55.000 She's like, Sure. 0.99

00:03:57.000 I think the craziest thing about it was that she said a Democrat-run city is the worst place for a black person to live. 0.99

00:04:03.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:04:03.000 And I'm like, I'm interested to talk to her about that. 0.97

00:04:05.000 Me too.

00:04:05.000 Because I'm wondering, like, be specific, you know what I mean?

00:04:08.000 Yeah.

00:04:09.000 I mean, because I'm from Chicago, so I don't disagree.

00:04:11.000 I'm just like, I wonder, you know, what is that?

00:04:14.000 Like, I want to hear depth on that, because I believe it.

00:04:17.000 I'd like to hear some, you know, data.

00:04:19.000 You know what I mean?

00:04:19.000 Yeah, she has a lot of different views and approaches that I would like to talk to her about, too.

00:04:24.000 That'll be fun.

00:04:24.000 But for now, the big breaking news.

00:04:26.000 So make sure you subscribe.

00:04:27.000 We do the show Monday through Friday live at 8 p.m.

00:04:30.000 And check this out.

00:04:31.000 The first thing I want to show you is from Benny Johnson.

00:04:34.000 Many of you probably saw this already, but this is...

00:04:37.000 I don't know.

00:04:38.000 It's epic, I guess.

00:04:39.000 The amount of Democrats calling in a c-span during the GOP convention saying that they're switching parties is insane.

00:04:45.000 Democrats are leaving Joe Biden's radical left party for Trump.

00:04:48.000 It's nine minutes long.

00:04:49.000 But there's one thing I want to play.

00:04:50.000 Actually, I don't think I can play because I don't think it's working.

00:04:52.000 But at the seven minute mark is a woman who says she fled socialism and that she's like an older lady, too, with an accent.

00:04:58.000 And she's like, if I have to lay my life on the line to defend this country, I will do it.

00:05:03.000 And I'm just like, I'm clapping like, yes.

00:05:05.000 How is it that we have these immigrants who escaped socialism saying, I would die for this country, and we have socialists born in this country saying, like, death to this country?

00:05:15.000 Man, that's messed up.

00:05:17.000 Well, it doesn't translate to the actual working class.

00:05:19.000 Check this out.

00:05:20.000 Donald Trump posted this to his website.

00:05:22.000 This is a letter signed by six mayors.

00:05:26.000 from what's called the Iron Range in Minnesota.

00:05:29.000 I'll be completely honest, I had not heard of the Iron Range until this happened.

00:05:33.000 I hadn't either.

00:05:33.000 Yeah.

00:05:34.000 I don't think this is, you know, not to be disrespectful, but I don't think there's a lot of people who live in the Iron Range.

00:05:40.000 But let me read this so you get an understanding of what this means.

00:05:44.000 And the first thing I want to do is I just want to show you that this is the Wikipedia page for the Iron Range, and they specifically note That it's a largely unionized workforce.

00:05:54.000 The rural areas remained.

00:05:56.000 Democratic Farmer Labor Party.

00:05:57.000 Not even the Democratic Party.

00:05:58.000 It's the Democratic Farmer Labor Party.

00:06:00.000 This is unions, straight up.

00:06:02.000 And the DFL basically is associated with the Democratic Party.

00:06:06.000 They say the area remains the greatest Democratic stronghold in Minnesota after the urban centers of Minneapolis and St.

00:06:11.000 Paul.

00:06:12.000 They say in 2016, Donald Trump's populist message enabled him to gain ground in the Iron Range, Well, I want to show you what actual working-class people in this country believe.

00:06:26.000 Because there's something I noticed about, I don't know, everything from the far left.

00:06:31.000 They're young, unhinged, and typically well-off, and they're screeching about socialism.

00:06:38.000 And I'm like, none of these people work.

00:06:40.000 Like, where's the 50-year-old dude who's, like, got a construction hat on, who actually, you know, does labor, you know, like farmers?

00:06:47.000 Right.

00:06:47.000 Well, remember that... Who was that guy?

00:06:50.000 Banks?

00:06:51.000 Who was saying that the rioters and protesters can't get unemployment.

00:06:55.000 They're just not working.

00:06:56.000 They're not working at all.

00:06:57.000 They have all the time in the world to protest.

00:06:59.000 Jim Banks, right?

00:06:59.000 Yeah, yeah, I think so.

00:07:00.000 So there's a... Is he in Congress?

00:07:01.000 He's Indian.

00:07:02.000 I think he's a...

00:07:04.000 Anyway, this Republican from Indiana is saying that he wants to cancel federal unemployment benefits for people convicted on rioting charges.

00:07:13.000 Think about what that means.

00:07:14.000 That means right now there are far-left rioters romping around, screeching about how they hate this country, and they're being subsidized by our taxpayer dollars.

00:07:23.000 That makes me feel real good.

00:07:24.000 Oh, man.

00:07:25.000 Let's read this letter and feel a little bit better.

00:07:27.000 OK, sorry about that.

00:07:28.000 You can see it's from DonaldTrump.com.

00:07:31.000 They say in August 28th, fellow Americans, as greater Minnesota mayors from democratic cities on the Iron Range of Minnesota, we write today to formally endorse the re-election of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

00:07:43.000 Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades.

00:07:47.000 We have watched as our constituents' jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country.

00:07:52.000 By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class.

00:07:58.000 We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good-paying jobs elsewhere.

00:08:06.000 Today, we don't recognize the Democratic Party.

00:08:09.000 It has been moved so far to the left, it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class.

00:08:15.000 The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats.

00:08:21.000 We didn't choose to leave the Democratic Party.

00:08:23.000 The party left us.

00:08:26.000 Doesn't that sound familiar?

00:08:27.000 That's getting really repetitive at this point.

00:08:30.000 It is.

00:08:31.000 It's almost kind of boring to hear.

00:08:32.000 It's like, I get it, I get it.

00:08:33.000 You're a liberal too, I know.

00:08:34.000 Come over and vote for Trump.

00:08:35.000 We've all decided to do the same thing.

00:08:37.000 I don't consider myself a conservative.

00:08:39.000 And even sitting down with Sean Parnell, he's like laughing, like, you are not right-wing.

00:08:42.000 Oh no, yeah.

00:08:43.000 I agree.

00:08:44.000 Conservatives can see it.

00:08:45.000 They're like, get out of here you hippie skateboarding, you know, whatever.

00:08:50.000 But I, you know, the way I described it earlier is, I mean, they hit the nail on the head.

00:08:55.000 It's just gone so far to the left, it doesn't represent working class people anymore.

00:08:58.000 I don't even know what they represent.

00:08:59.000 You know, the funniest part about this to me is watching Twitter, the fake world of

00:09:03.000 Twitter talk about the people who are like calling it a C-span and the people who say,

00:09:07.000 you know, the Democratic Party has moved too far left.

00:09:09.000 Watching people on Twitter say, oh, these are just Trump supporters.

00:09:13.000 These people aren't telling the truth.

00:09:15.000 And I honestly am a little bit entertained to think about what's going to happen in November when they find out that these people are actually telling the truth.

00:09:21.000 You know, maybe we're in the bubble, but I just don't think so.

00:09:25.000 I don't believe it.

00:09:25.000 I don't know.

00:09:26.000 I don't think so.

00:09:27.000 I kind of trust myself because I try to think that I'm paying attention and I give room for other people's thoughts, but... They point it out, and we still have more to read of this letter because they go through how Trump helped them, and we'll get to it.

00:09:38.000 But a lot of these people point out the TV ratings for the DNC were way higher.

00:09:41.000 I think that has a lot to do with the fact that Republicans follow both news sources.

00:09:45.000 So I've shown this graph before.

00:09:48.000 So this is a justification for why I think, you know, that more people are going to vote for Trump.

00:09:51.000 For obvious reasons.

00:09:52.000 I mean, walk away is real.

00:09:53.000 Yeah.

00:09:54.000 We heard it on C-SPAN.

00:09:55.000 There's no, like, never Trump is just like a bunch of crony establishment people.

00:09:59.000 But there's a graph I often show that shows conservatives get about a third of their news from liberal sources, mainstream sources, and two-thirds from conservative.

00:10:07.000 Moderates are inverted, two-thirds from mainstream and one-third from conservative, but liberals, the left, they only get their news from left-wing sources.

00:10:14.000 So that says to me that when it comes to the DNC ratings, Republicans were watching.

00:10:19.000 Yeah.

00:10:19.000 Democrats probably weren't watching the RNC.

00:10:22.000 So it made the numbers bigger.

00:10:24.000 And then when the RNC happened, you had some journalists, but I doubt regular, you know, like traditional liberals watched or cared.

00:10:29.000 But hey, some people also pointing out that it's because Trump supporters wanted to watch online.

00:10:34.000 And I think that's a fair point, too, because we were watching the RNC.

00:10:37.000 And at first we were watching on PBS.

00:10:39.000 Yeah.

00:10:39.000 And all they did was like interject to rag on Trump and Republicans.

00:10:42.000 Their commentary was awful.

00:10:44.000 Yeah, and they had that lady, what's her name? 1.00

00:10:46.000 Yamiche, I think.

00:10:47.000 Where she had tweeted out, making fun of, like slamming the dude, Cawthorn.

00:10:53.000 Yeah, Madison Cawthorn, who's in a wheelchair.

00:10:56.000 He's paraplegic.

00:10:59.000 Yeah, sorry.

00:10:59.000 Yeah, he can't stand and he managed to do it.

00:11:01.000 And she's like, he's making light of the people who kneel.

00:11:04.000 Yeah, right, so Madison Cawthorn stands for his speech at the RNC and it's like a huge effort because he's paralyzed.

00:11:11.000 Yeah, he stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:11:12.000 For the Pledge of Allegiance, oh yeah.

00:11:14.000 And then this woman from PBS says that he's like doing it as like a slight against all those who would kneel and I'm like, he's standing up because like he's showing that he believes in this.

00:11:25.000 It's not a slight against you!

00:11:27.000 He's just standing up, I don't get it.

00:11:28.000 He thinks it's important.

00:11:29.000 It's inspirational.

00:11:30.000 Yeah.

00:11:31.000 But she's giving commentary during the RNC, and all she was doing was just lying. 0.50

00:11:36.000 And they had one guy on who did the verified people hoax.

00:11:39.000 Yep, they kicked off strong with that one.

00:11:41.000 So I was just like, I turn on C-SPAN.

00:11:42.000 Yeah, it was way better.

00:11:44.000 I think that C-SPAN is an underappreciated, important part of our democracy.

00:11:48.000 C-SPAN's great.

00:11:49.000 Yeah, you just play it.

00:11:50.000 And then people calling in, too.

00:11:51.000 Yeah, I was like, that's so cool.

00:11:53.000 Let's read some more of this letter.

00:11:55.000 This is really amazing stuff, because now they get into the praise for Donald Trump.

00:11:57.000 They say, we didn't choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us.

00:12:01.000 Yet four years ago, something wonderful happened.

00:12:04.000 Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, and he stood up to China, implemented tax cuts, and fought for the working class.

00:12:11.000 Now, four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life.

00:12:15.000 And for the first time in a very long time, locals are hopeful because of this president's policies and willingness to fight for us.

00:12:21.000 Lifelong politicians like Joe Biden are out of touch with the working class, out of touch with what the country needs, and out of touch with those of us here on the Iron Range and in small towns like ours across the nation.

00:12:33.000 In this election, there's a lot at stake, but the biggest risk is our jobs, our economy, and our way of life.

00:12:38.000 President Trump delivered the best economy in our nation's history, and President Trump will deliver for us again.

00:12:44.000 He will continue to fight for every American, regardless of party affiliation, and continue to stand up for the working class.

00:12:51.000 Today, we write to formally endorse President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for four more years.

00:12:57.000 And we got Larry Cuff of Mayor of Virginia, John Ciampa, Mayor of Chisholm, Chuck Novak, Mayor of Elliot, Chris Swanson, Mayor of Two Harbors, Robert Vlasov, I'm sorry, I can't pronounce, I'm not trying to be mean, but Vlasov, Lizhevich.

00:13:15.000 Hope I got it right.

00:13:15.000 I definitely didn't.

00:13:16.000 Mayor of Eveleth and Andrea Zupanich.

00:13:19.000 Zupanchich.

00:13:21.000 I'm proud.

00:13:21.000 I can't pronounce these names.

00:13:22.000 I mean, no disrespect.

00:13:24.000 Yeah, I just, that's my, that's my bad.

00:13:27.000 No disrespect.

00:13:27.000 Mayor of Babbitt.

00:13:28.000 So these six mayors, and this is, like I mentioned, according to Wikipedia, the greatest democratic stronghold in Minnesota after the urban centers of Minneapolis and St.

00:13:37.000 Paul, not even the suburban areas of the Twin Cities.

00:13:40.000 I really like this.

00:13:41.000 Look at this.

00:13:41.000 Okay, it goes, the Iron Range is known for Cornish pastries stuffed with carrots, ground beef, and potatoes.

00:13:46.000 Pastries were an easy lunch for people working deep in the iron mines.

00:13:49.000 Slovenian and Croatian immigrants brought the honey nut bread called podica to the Iron Range region that's still served at Eastern Christmas in northern Minnesota.

00:13:59.000 That is really cool.

00:14:00.000 Like, so those crazy last names we're seeing are actually from Slovenia.

00:14:04.000 Cool.

00:14:04.000 Croatia.

00:14:05.000 That's neat.

00:14:06.000 I kind of like that piece of history from them.

00:14:07.000 And you know what?

00:14:08.000 And the Democrats, they just call it the flyover states.

00:14:10.000 Yeah, that's nonsense.

00:14:11.000 This is a really cool place.

00:14:12.000 Particularly disrespectful to people who don't live in New York and Los Angeles.

00:14:15.000 And this is crazy to me.

00:14:16.000 You know, I'm seeing a lot of posts on Facebook talking about the Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:14:23.000 So for those, I'm sure most of you are familiar.

00:14:24.000 He's the dude who lives in Antioch, which is about 20 minutes out of Kenosha.

00:14:27.000 And he went in, he had a gun.

00:14:29.000 You know, chaos ensued, they attacked him, someone fired a round into the air, he shot, killed the guy, chased him, it's, you know... For the most part, it seems like it really was self-defense, and we're gonna break down everything that happened, because we've got a thread from a journalist from Slate who just lies the whole time.

00:14:43.000 And I think it's, you know, kind of escalating to a dangerous place, but anyway, the point was...

00:14:48.000 I see a lot of people bringing this up and, you know, I kind of lost my train of thought once I started thinking about what went down in Kenosha.

00:14:57.000 Yeah, so the mining people and the people who are... No, I lost it.

00:15:01.000 I had a point, I had a point and then I started just imagining everything that went down and I'm like, oh man, it's getting really bad.

00:15:07.000 Yeah, but anyway, I guess the general idea is people don't understand what it's like to live in these small towns that are, they call it like across state lines when he comes from Antioch to Kenosha, but it's like they live on the border.

00:15:21.000 Right.

00:15:22.000 These are areas that are very, very far apart.

00:15:24.000 And this kid probably used to hang out in Kenosha all the time.

00:15:27.000 But anyway, more to the point, one thing I find really interesting is they mention that Joe Biden has lost touch with the working class.

00:15:33.000 And considering this is like a union area, I thought it was really interesting because there's that video of Joe Biden in the factory, and that union worker comes up to him and he's like, you wanna take my guns away?

00:15:42.000 And Joe Biden just insults him.

00:15:44.000 Yeah.

00:15:44.000 Do you remember what Biden, what did he say to him?

00:15:46.000 That was where he said, look fat, wasn't it?

00:15:47.000 No, no, no, that wasn't the look fat moment.

00:15:49.000 OK.

00:15:49.000 The look fat was when like an older, fatter guy was like, Joe!

00:15:52.000 And then he was like, look fat! 1.00

00:15:54.000 Oh, he called him, like, a damn liar. 1.00

00:15:56.000 Yes, yes. 1.00

00:15:57.000 I think that's what happened.

00:15:58.000 That's the one, I think.

00:15:59.000 Yeah, and I was like, are you serious?

00:16:01.000 This guy wants to vote for you.

00:16:02.000 He just has a question about your policy, and you're calling him a liar?

00:16:06.000 Joe Biden tells his own voters not to vote for him.

00:16:09.000 Yeah, that's really something.

00:16:10.000 On more than one occasion, yeah.

00:16:11.000 So, to be fair, I want to show you this, and I want to make this point.

00:16:14.000 This is a website called defendingdemocracytogether.org.

00:16:18.000 Oh, boy.

00:16:18.000 They say, you know, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:20.000 They don't like Trump.

00:16:21.000 Donald Trump is impaired.

00:16:22.000 You get all these reasons for why they don't like Trump.

00:16:24.000 I get it.

00:16:24.000 I'm not going to read it.

00:16:25.000 You know why?

00:16:26.000 All of these people are, you know, former Homeland Security, Secretary of State, NSC staff, CIA, NSA, Trade Rep, NSC, a lot of intelligence agency people and former Republicans.

00:16:40.000 And I just, I'm, you know, somebody sent me this.

00:16:43.000 I posted the, the, what was it?

00:16:45.000 What?

00:16:45.000 He's a former- okay, so one of these guys is a former senior director for N- oh, NSC.

00:16:50.000 Okay, I thought it said NBC.

00:16:52.000 No, NSC.

00:16:52.000 Yeah, National Security- what is it?

00:16:54.000 National Security Council?

00:16:55.000 That's what I figured, yeah.

00:16:57.000 So I posted the thing about the Iron Range.

00:16:59.000 And I think it's a huge deal that Democrats are straight up being like, Trump is helping us and these are union guys.

00:17:04.000 Because we've heard a lot of the same things, especially from people like Sean Parnell.

00:17:08.000 Someone countered by posting this saying, oh yeah, look at these people.

00:17:12.000 And I'm like, yeah, you can have them.

00:17:14.000 Seriously.

00:17:14.000 I don't want them.

00:17:15.000 Keep it.

00:17:16.000 So the swamp is angry at Trump and the union workers in the middle of this country are thanking him.

00:17:24.000 Is that a hard choice?

00:17:25.000 No, that's great.

00:17:26.000 I think that's perfect.

00:17:27.000 And I think it's perfectly indicative of what he's been doing.

00:17:29.000 The swamp doesn't like him, but normal people do.

00:17:32.000 I don't understand what's happened.

00:17:34.000 How is it the Democratic voter base has become so unhinged and blind to this?

00:17:40.000 So anyway, I kind of remember the point I was trying to make before when I was talking about Kyle Rittenhouse is that people seem to think, you know, when I post these things, they're saying things like, you know, the majority of this country doesn't agree with you and this guy's a terrorist and, you know, everybody wants Trump out.

00:17:56.000 And I'm like, do you read the news or is it just memes?

00:18:01.000 Because on Facebook, it's dominated every day by Ben Shapiro and, you know, Daily Wire and Fox News.

00:18:08.000 It is memes, and I'm curious if some of the reason that... I think the reason that Democrats did not tune in to the RNC was because they know that they can just wait until tomorrow morning, and they'll just hear exactly what they want to hear from people like Yamiche and everybody from PBS, and they'll get everything they want through their own filter of their own little bubble.

00:18:27.000 They don't have to hear anything they don't want to hear.

00:18:28.000 They don't have to actually listen to Donald Trump speak, which probably triggers them.

00:18:33.000 I mean, you know, so I jokingly have been posting things like, Trump landslide.

00:18:38.000 So the first thing I post on Facebook is that Benny Johnson clip, where you get these C-SPAN callers.

00:18:43.000 Nine minutes!

00:18:44.000 I swear, I'm like, I gotta listen to it, it's my job.

00:18:46.000 It was great.

00:18:46.000 And I'm sitting there, I know, and I'm clapping and laughing.

00:18:48.000 There's like ladies, it's kind of crazy to hear like, just this middle-aged woman being like, the riots are near my house! 1.00

00:18:55.000 The Democrats won't talk about it!

00:18:57.000 And I'm imagining just like my hokey old neighbor, like, they don't pay attention, they're normies, they mind their own business, and they're scared right now.

00:19:02.000 Yeah.

00:19:03.000 And the Democrats praised the protests.

00:19:07.000 Who was it who said that?

00:19:08.000 I think it was...

00:19:10.000 I think I actually have it right here.

00:19:11.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, check it out.

00:19:12.000 The Atlantic.

00:19:13.000 This is how Biden loses.

00:19:15.000 Nothing will harm a campaign like the wishful thinking, fearful hesitation, or sheer complacency that fails to address what voters plainly see.

00:19:23.000 Oh boy.

00:19:24.000 I mean, look at this.

00:19:27.000 Let me just read the paragraph.

00:19:28.000 They say it's no use dismissing their words as partisan talking points in reference to Trump's law and order.

00:19:33.000 They are effective ones backed up by certain facts.

00:19:35.000 Trump will bang this loudly, ugly drum, until election day.

00:19:39.000 He knows that Kenosha has placed Democrats in a trap.

00:19:42.000 They've embraced the protests and the causes that drive them.

00:19:45.000 The third night of the Democratic convention was consumed with the language and imagery of protest, as if all Americans watching were activists.

00:19:54.000 That's the point.

00:19:55.000 Written here by The Atlantic, this is how Joe Biden loses.

00:20:00.000 The Iron Range, a Democrat stronghold, has six cities from the Iron Range, not the entirety of, has endorsed Donald Trump.

00:20:08.000 We also heard the story from CNN a little while ago.

00:20:11.000 They went to like the Northern tip, which is probably a similar area, you know, probably in the Iron Range, and they found, they said it's a Democrat stronghold that supports Democrats locally and votes Donald Trump nationally.

00:20:21.000 Yes.

00:20:22.000 And they're all proud of it.

00:20:23.000 Yeah, they don't mind.

00:20:24.000 So I have to imagine this.

00:20:27.000 Actually, let me give you some context first.

00:20:29.000 Michael Tracy, who is one of the few journalists who actually exists, albeit he's very snarky on Twitter when he talks about politics, but he actually got in a car and he drove to small towns and he saw the destruction.

00:20:42.000 And he saw many of these people doing what I would call begging.

00:20:45.000 Spray painting on their windows like, please don't hurt us, we support Black Lives Matter.

00:20:49.000 He went to towns That no one, that got no coverage, that nobody even probably knew had riots until he went there.

00:20:58.000 Now imagine this.

00:20:59.000 You live in some of these towns.

00:21:00.000 They're Democrat towns.

00:21:02.000 And you turn on the TV, and you tune in to the DNC, and what do they do?

00:21:06.000 They show the protesters.

00:21:09.000 They show them raising their fist.

00:21:11.000 And you think to yourself, aren't those the people that just smashed up my windows that I'm scared of?

00:21:16.000 Yep.

00:21:16.000 I'd bet.

00:21:17.000 Yep, and they're getting the spotlight and not you.

00:21:20.000 And, well, it's the Democrats supporting him.

00:21:22.000 And now it's blowing up in their faces, and they know it.

00:21:25.000 And that's why The Atlantic has this article.

00:21:27.000 Check this out.

00:21:28.000 They say on Monday, the day after Blake's shooting, Biden and his vice presidential nominee, Senator Kamala Harris, released statements expressing outrage.

00:21:35.000 The next day, Biden's spokesperson released a statement opposing burning down communities and needless destruction.

00:21:40.000 On Wednesday, Biden, after speaking with the Blake family, condemned both the initial incident and the subsequent destruction.

00:21:46.000 Burning down communities is not protest, he pleaded in a video, it's needless violence.

00:21:52.000 He said the same after George Floyd's killing.

00:21:54.000 No.

00:21:54.000 How many Americans have heard him?

00:21:56.000 In the crude terms of a presidential campaign, voters know that the Democrat means it when

00:22:01.000 he denounces police brutality, but less so when he denounces riots.

00:22:05.000 To reach the public and convince it otherwise, Biden has to go beyond boilerplate and make

00:22:09.000 it personal, memorable.

00:22:10.000 I don't buy it.

00:22:11.000 No?

00:22:12.000 You know why I don't buy it?

00:22:13.000 When he says, whoa, the destruction is bad.

00:22:15.000 Because then the DNC puts up the videos of the guy with the cape.

00:22:18.000 You know what I'm talking about?

00:22:19.000 You guys see that thing where like... Actually, it's that tweet that I put up.

00:22:23.000 Billy Porter.

00:22:24.000 You want to try to find it?

00:22:25.000 So it's this guy who's dancing and he was like, it was the cringiest thing I'd ever seen.

00:22:29.000 It really did look like a high school talent show type thing.

00:22:32.000 Oh, look.

00:22:33.000 This image of the protests and this guy with the cape singing this protest song, and this person said, we're going to lose, aren't we?

00:22:41.000 I love this image because it's like, yes, I'd imagine you are.

00:22:45.000 But this protest image, listen, if you've got a bunch of people marching through the streets, raising their fists like he is right here, screaming Black Lives Matter while smashing things, And the Democrats go on TV and with a smile on their face go, peaceful protests.

00:23:01.000 And you're like, they smashed up the bakery by my house.

00:23:05.000 Or not even that.

00:23:07.000 You know, when they talk about smashing up Starbucks and they talk about smashing up banks, I'm like, did you ever stop to think about what the average person feels or thinks to themselves when they see that?

00:23:16.000 So I was in DC on, they call it J20, it was Trump's inauguration in 2017.

00:23:21.000 They smashed up McDonald's and Starbucks and like some banks or whatever.

00:23:25.000 And I was talking to somebody, because I tell them this all the time.

00:23:28.000 You ever stop and think about what that, you know, a regular person who shops there is thinking once they walk up?

00:23:33.000 Can't go there anymore.

00:23:34.000 They're thinking, why can't I go to Starbucks?

00:23:35.000 I got work, I need coffee.

00:23:37.000 Why can't I go to my bank?

00:23:38.000 Why can't I deposit my paycheck?

00:23:40.000 And now I'll one-up that.

00:23:41.000 I said, do you ever stop and think about what the person who worked at Starbucks is thinking after you do that?

00:23:46.000 No, I can't work.

00:23:47.000 Why did they do this to me?

00:23:48.000 That's what they're thinking.

00:23:49.000 Why me?

00:23:50.000 Why me?

00:23:52.000 What about the person working at the bank?

00:23:54.000 I was talking to somebody during Occupy Wall Street, and I'm like, do you know how much that person makes in that small little office?

00:24:00.000 They're probably making like $40 or $50.

00:24:01.000 Well, it's New York, so maybe like $60, $70K.

00:24:02.000 All right?

00:24:04.000 That is not middle-class median for New York.

00:24:06.000 They're probably working really, really hard to try and get by, because New York City is very expensive.

00:24:10.000 I understand, in most parts of the country, $70K is probably a lot.

00:24:13.000 But some of these people in these offices are probably only getting like $50, if that.

00:24:16.000 And I said, do you know what they're thinking now that you smashed the window and there's glass all over their desk and their computer?

00:24:21.000 They're thinking, what did I do?

00:24:22.000 I don't understand.

00:24:23.000 And the people who go to that bank as customers are thinking like I got it

00:24:27.000 I got to make deposits today right I got it I got a I got to get a cashier's check to pay for my

00:24:31.000 deposit for my new apartment Why did they do this to me now?

00:24:33.000 I got to go to a different bank how how frustrating is that and they don't understand why they are being attacked now

00:24:39.000 imagine this You're in a small town. You know you're like remember that

00:24:43.000 video from I think it was like Syria Was it was a Rochester or Syracuse where the lady gets 0.67

00:24:46.000 attacked by the group of those that met those men?

00:24:48.000 You know I'm talking about the husband the lady of the fire the fire department equipment store

00:24:52.000 And there's like three dudes tacking.

00:24:55.000 So imagine that.

00:24:57.000 You're in a small town.

00:24:58.000 You're minding your own business.

00:24:59.000 The news doesn't talk about you.

00:25:00.000 The New York Times doesn't talk about you.

00:25:02.000 CBS, CNN, they don't care about you.

00:25:04.000 You're in a small town and you're being beaten.

00:25:06.000 And your wife is being beaten.

00:25:08.000 And then you're just angry and you're like, someone's got to do something about this.

00:25:10.000 Mayors know where to be... Democratic mayors know where to be found.

00:25:13.000 Governors say in peaceful protest.

00:25:15.000 Then you turn on the DNC.

00:25:18.000 And what do they do?

00:25:19.000 They show the people who attacked you.

00:25:21.000 Man, I'd be angry.

00:25:23.000 I would too.

00:25:24.000 And you know what I would do?

00:25:24.000 I would call C-SPAN.

00:25:26.000 I'd be like, hey, guess what?

00:25:28.000 I'm leaving the Democratic Party.

00:25:29.000 They've moved way far left. 0.89

00:25:30.000 I just watched the DNC and they're full of nonsense and I don't like it.

00:25:34.000 I'm scared.

00:25:35.000 I do what I'm doing now.

00:25:36.000 Yeah.

00:25:37.000 You know, it's funny because I've talked about this, you know, several times when the riots hit their peak in June, I heard helicopters and sirens.

00:25:43.000 I remember that.

00:25:43.000 I heard them too.

00:25:44.000 We're in the suburbs.

00:25:45.000 I was like, there's no way.

00:25:47.000 No way.

00:25:48.000 Because we're like, we're in the suburbs of the Philadelphia area, but we're on the Jersey side.

00:25:52.000 You got to cross the river.

00:25:53.000 And I'm like, we're far away, you know, but no, it was, it was within a few miles that we could see, we could see and hear the helicopters and sirens.

00:26:01.000 And I was like, how did they get anywhere near us?

00:26:05.000 That's crazy.

00:26:06.000 That was an uncomfortable night.

00:26:07.000 And then I went out and bought guns!

00:26:08.000 Yes!

00:26:09.000 Because I was like, what do I do if they show up to my house?

00:26:12.000 Because they've shown up to people's houses.

00:26:14.000 And then when, look, I can't believe, I'm gonna show you this.

00:26:17.000 I can't, look at this.

00:26:18.000 Mayor Ted Wheeler.

00:26:20.000 Today I sent this letter via email to Donald Trump, declining his recurring offer to aid Portland by sending federal enforcement to the city.

00:26:28.000 What.

00:26:28.000 A. Piece.

00:26:29.000 Of.

00:26:29.000 GABBAGE.

00:26:30.000 GABBAGE.

00:26:31.000 We're in Jersey, so that's the thing.

00:26:33.000 GABBAGE.

00:26:34.000 Dude.

00:26:35.000 Come on, man.

00:26:36.000 What is it at this point?

00:26:37.000 Is this just a virtue signal?

00:26:39.000 Does he think he's actually getting something done here?

00:26:42.000 What is he doing?

00:26:43.000 He's supporting Trump.

00:26:45.000 Seriously?

00:26:45.000 Dude, listen, listen.

00:26:47.000 If at this point that you have Mayor Frey of Minneapolis, you know they rioted in Minneapolis over a guy who killed himself.

00:26:54.000 Yes, I remember that.

00:26:55.000 It was probably a couple days ago.

00:26:56.000 They don't care about any of this cause.

00:26:59.000 A murder suspect was running from cops, killed himself.

00:27:03.000 They literally had camera footage of it happening.

00:27:05.000 It didn't matter.

00:27:06.000 Didn't matter.

00:27:06.000 And that's why I get really bothered when mayors like Ted Wheeler virtue signal by being like, I stand with the protesters.

00:27:12.000 They don't care if you do or not.

00:27:15.000 They're gonna go smashy smashy no matter what happens.

00:27:18.000 They're like, something happened?

00:27:19.000 Can we make it an excuse?

00:27:21.000 Let's go smash.

00:27:22.000 And what's happening is, the more they do this, they can count on the media to cover it up.

00:27:27.000 Think about it this way.

00:27:28.000 If the Washington Post, the New York Times, and CNN were like, how dare these rioters come out because a man killed himself?

00:27:36.000 That's not the fault of the cops.

00:27:37.000 They didn't, though.

00:27:38.000 Imagine if they did.

00:27:39.000 The rioters would get caught, and they'd have zero sympathy.

00:27:42.000 Well, you could have put cultural pressure on them.

00:27:44.000 You could have been like, this is not okay.

00:27:45.000 Everyone knows it.

00:27:46.000 Here's some peer pressure against you.

00:27:48.000 And because the media doesn't do this, if they get arrested, they're like, Black Lives Matter.

00:27:53.000 Yep.

00:27:54.000 Do something.

00:27:55.000 Yep.

00:27:55.000 So now they're going out and looting for whatever.

00:27:57.000 And you got Mayor Frey.

00:27:59.000 What was his name, Tom Frey?

00:28:00.000 His name is, what's his first name?

00:28:03.000 Wilbert.

00:28:04.000 Wilbert Frey, yes.

00:28:05.000 Winston.

00:28:05.000 Winston, yeah.

00:28:06.000 I don't know, his name's Frey, whatever.

00:28:07.000 The chat's gonna blow up.

00:28:09.000 Walder Frey.

00:28:11.000 So, he's agreed to call in the National Guard over this.

00:28:15.000 Good.

00:28:17.000 Governor Evers in Wisconsin agreed with Trump and will accept federal law enforcement and bolster the National Guard numbers.

00:28:24.000 And I'm like, thank you.

00:28:25.000 I'm clapping.

00:28:26.000 Dude, I wish you would have done it sooner. 0.86

00:28:28.000 I think they're too obsessed with their poll numbers and it's kind of pathetic, but I'm happy they're doing it now.

00:28:33.000 Still not going to vote for them in their party because of it, but I can respect that they're doing it right.

00:28:38.000 Ted Wheeler coming on being like, nah.

00:28:42.000 Sticking to his guns.

00:28:42.000 You know what?

00:28:43.000 Look what Cernovich said.

00:28:44.000 He said, you just bankrupted Portland with that letter.

00:28:46.000 No, no.

00:28:46.000 Seriously.

00:28:47.000 He's supporting Donald Trump.

00:28:48.000 I think you're right.

00:28:49.000 I would like to thank Mayor Ted Wheeler for all of the support he's given to President Trump by doing these things for 93 plus days.

00:28:56.000 No, this is what really bothers me, because if it's true, like, come on, man. 1.00

00:29:00.000 How stupid does Ted... Come on, man. 1.00

00:29:02.000 Come on, man! 1.00

00:29:03.000 Look fat! 1.00

00:29:04.000 How dumb does Ted Wheeler gotta be? 1.00

00:29:06.000 Pretty dumb. 1.00

00:29:07.000 So, I'm getting two different vibes here. 0.99

00:29:09.000 I'm getting a real strong MAGA vibe.

00:29:12.000 I actually support Donald Trump and I'm afraid to come out and say it, but I'm going to say that I don't want federal aid.

00:29:18.000 Or I'm getting like a high school beta dude type vibe where there's a really cool guy and he really wants their approval.

00:29:24.000 So he's going to do whatever they want, but they just keep ignoring him.

00:29:26.000 They're like, yeah, whatever.

00:29:28.000 We don't want you here.

00:29:28.000 I think it's more of a male feminist vibe.

00:29:31.000 I get that too.

00:29:32.000 There's like, Ted Wheeler knows some like, raunchy chick that he's like, since he was a teenager.

00:29:38.000 And she's like, you know, she's like squatting in some building.

00:29:41.000 Oh gosh.

00:29:41.000 And he's like, um, Roxanne, uh, I told the police to stand down.

00:29:46.000 That's cool, right?

00:29:47.000 And she's like, yeah, whatever.

00:29:48.000 I don't care.

00:29:48.000 He's like, uh, do you want to like go on a date?

00:29:51.000 I told you I'm not going on a date with you, Ted.

00:29:53.000 Yes.

00:29:54.000 Oh, okay.

00:29:54.000 But like, you know, just let me if you want the police to stand down.

00:29:57.000 Cause that's, that's kind of cool, right?

00:29:59.000 It's like, yeah, whatever.

00:30:00.000 So it's kind of like the high school thing, except it's a chick.

00:30:06.000 I think this dude is desperate.

00:30:08.000 I mean, listen.

00:30:10.000 At a certain point, you have to recognize everything you're doing is helping Trump.

00:30:14.000 Yeah, that's why I'm getting a MAGA vibe.

00:30:16.000 So, to be fair though, the rioters didn't come out last night.

00:30:19.000 Yeah.

00:30:19.000 And I think it's because they were going to Kenosha.

00:30:21.000 Yeah.

00:30:22.000 The police in Kenosha saw, I guess they saw Riot Kitchen, which is from Seattle, and pulled up.

00:30:29.000 A van tried fleeing, so they, this is crazy, they went up to the car, they stopped it, drew their guns, smashed the windows, took all the people out and arrested them.

00:30:36.000 They arrested them on disorderly conduct, which, Sounds kind of BS to me, to be honest.

00:30:41.000 Because they weren't really doing anything, right?

00:30:43.000 Yeah, they were filling up gas cans.

00:30:45.000 Yeah, at the time.

00:30:46.000 It is, yeah.

00:30:46.000 And it's legal.

00:30:47.000 But they had a big bus that said Riot Kitchen on it.

00:30:49.000 And so I think it's fair to say there's probable cause to stop and detain them, but the disorderly conduct thing was kind of, you've got to be careful, exclusionary rule.

00:30:58.000 First and foremost, you violate the Fourth Amendment.

00:31:01.000 I'm not happy about that.

00:31:02.000 It doesn't matter.

00:31:03.000 I understand there's rioters coming to your town from out of state, but they've got to be careful because if they do this illegally, then the exclusionary rule is going to negate all the evidence they found, and they found illegal fireworks.

00:31:14.000 But anyway, Andy Ngo tweeted this out.

00:31:16.000 He said it was peaceful yesterday, for like the first time in 93 days, like no one really came out, and I think it's because they were heading to Kenosha.

00:31:23.000 It could also be because the feds have dropped the hammer.

00:31:26.000 Yeah, it could be a combination of those two.

00:31:28.000 Yeah, if that's the case, then maybe Ted Wheeler got lucky and it was more of the South Park homeless strategy as opposed to policing.

00:31:35.000 Have you ever seen that episode of South Park?

00:31:37.000 Possibly, remind me.

00:31:38.000 Okay, so in South Park, there's homeless people slowly showing up in the city, and so Kyle one day gives 20 bucks to one of the homeless guys.

00:31:47.000 And then the next day there's like a hundred homeless guys in front of his house.

00:31:49.000 Oh gosh.

00:31:50.000 And so their strategy finally was they got a big armored bus and then started singing a song about how in other cities they'll give you whatever you want.

00:31:58.000 And then all the homeless people followed after the bus as they were like in the city of Santa Monica.

00:32:03.000 They're really nice to the homeless.

00:32:04.000 They'll give you everything you want.

00:32:05.000 Pied Piper for homeless people.

00:32:06.000 Exactly.

00:32:07.000 Gotcha.

00:32:07.000 And so the strategy was when you got a big problem in your city and it's causing, you know, serious mayhem, all you got to do is get the people to go to someone else's city.

00:32:13.000 So Ted Wheeler was like sitting in an office crossing his fingers like, come on, I just need cops to kill somebody in another town and then I'll leave.

00:32:21.000 That's horrible.

00:32:22.000 I'm only I'm only half kidding.

00:32:23.000 I could see it.

00:32:24.000 Because their strategy was to have the police stand down and like to prevent escalation.

00:32:29.000 So you have to recognize that part of them was like counting down the moments till some other police brutality happened and then they'll leave and go somewhere else.

00:32:38.000 Yeah.

00:32:39.000 So here's what bugs me though.

00:32:39.000 Interesting.

00:32:42.000 Yeah, what is that?

00:32:43.000 Bugs.

00:32:43.000 Speaking of bugs.

00:32:44.000 Speaking of bugs, there's a bug.

00:32:45.000 There's a bug.

00:32:46.000 Nice.

00:32:47.000 I wonder if you can hear that.

00:32:48.000 What bothers me is like, I don't think Ted Wheeler is intentionally trying to help Trump, but could you imagine if he really was?

00:32:48.000 Probably.

00:32:56.000 I can see it.

00:32:57.000 I would feel manipulated.

00:32:58.000 Yeah.

00:32:59.000 No, the reality is Ted Wheeler is, wow, so desperate to virtue signal to the far left that even after everything's happened and people are calling in C-SPAN in droves, like, I'm quitting the party!

00:33:13.000 He's like, no, we don't want your help.

00:33:16.000 We don't want cops to come in here and stop the violence. 0.95

00:33:18.000 We're cool with it.

00:33:19.000 He's a desperate guy.

00:33:21.000 Yes, he is.

00:33:21.000 I don't think it'll work out too well for him.

00:33:24.000 But let me show you this.

00:33:25.000 Chadwick Moore tweeted something interesting.

00:33:28.000 New York's population is 50-50 NYC and upstate.

00:33:32.000 20% of New York City fled and probably won't be voting.

00:33:35.000 All the conversations I have with inner-city blacks and immigrants point to them voting Trump or not voting at all.

00:33:41.000 What are the NYGOP groups doing to get out the vote?

00:33:45.000 Nothing.

00:33:45.000 New York is in play.

00:33:47.000 He says New York GOP groups are going to completely miss this opportunity.

00:33:51.000 Sad.

00:33:52.000 I love how people do that Trump thing now.

00:33:54.000 Sad.

00:33:54.000 Like you add a word at the end of your tweet.

00:33:57.000 This is designed by Twitter.

00:33:59.000 You're running out of characters, but you really need to convey one last feeling.

00:34:03.000 Sad.

00:34:04.000 Yeah, it's almost, it's like not, not enough to put an emoji.

00:34:07.000 Yeah.

00:34:07.000 No, no, it's like a male version of emoji.

00:34:09.000 Like women put emojis and men, this is true. 1.00

00:34:11.000 Men send emojis to women and women send emojis to men and women, but men rarely send emojis to each other.

00:34:18.000 Interesting.

00:34:18.000 It's like all very like formal and cordial.

00:34:20.000 So you don't put a sad face, you put sad.

00:34:23.000 So like, you just say it.

00:34:25.000 It's like, I am very sad about this.

00:34:27.000 I understand you are sad.

00:34:28.000 Let's carry on, good sir.

00:34:29.000 Very, very testosterone.

00:34:31.000 Anyway, he says, the latest polls show Biden is ahead by only five points in New York.

00:34:35.000 Where is the GOP?

00:34:37.000 I bring this up to follow up on all that stuff we were just talking about. 0.99

00:34:41.000 The GOP sucks. 0.99

00:34:42.000 Yep. 1.00

00:34:42.000 Not doing it. 1.00

00:34:44.000 Like, who did we have on?

00:34:47.000 Sean Parnell, I think was talking about this.

00:34:48.000 Yeah.

00:34:48.000 People will ask him, like, you know, are you getting support from the party?

00:34:52.000 And it's like, no.

00:34:53.000 No?

00:34:53.000 Well, Brandon Strzok was saying the same thing.

00:34:55.000 He's like, I haven't really had any support from the Republicans, and I don't know when to expect it, or if to expect it.

00:35:01.000 You know what it says to me?

00:35:02.000 I think both parties are dead.

00:35:04.000 Yeah.

00:35:05.000 And what's happening right now with the Democrats is they have no leader.

00:35:09.000 And because there's no leadership, the party's broken.

00:35:13.000 Both parties are broken.

00:35:14.000 But there is a Trump.

00:35:16.000 And a Trump is unifying.

00:35:20.000 If there was no Trump, the party would fracture.

00:35:22.000 And that's, that's, that's, I think, so, so you, you expect there to be every few years, they find a new leader to guide the party.

00:35:29.000 And Obama was that for the Democrats for quite some time.

00:35:32.000 For some reason, he's not right now.

00:35:34.000 He's still like the most popular Democrat in, even though I, like, I wish people would read the news and they wouldn't think so, but.

00:35:40.000 Yeah.

00:35:40.000 But he's not active.

00:35:41.000 He's not really, you know, not really doing anything.

00:35:43.000 He didn't want to endorse Joe Biden.

00:35:45.000 Then what, Hillary Clinton?

00:35:46.000 Nah.

00:35:47.000 Oh gosh, they have no one right now.

00:35:48.000 That's why they're doing Grandpa Joe.

00:35:50.000 It's the only thing they have that people remember who's still active.

00:35:54.000 You have the sour look on your face.

00:35:55.000 Yeah, because he's supposed to be the return to normalcy.

00:35:58.000 And I know enough about what happened under the Obama administration.

00:36:01.000 I was watching it.

00:36:02.000 I was young at the time, but I was like, this is insane.

00:36:05.000 And I never liked, you know, Democrat policies, but I was like, this is egregious.

00:36:09.000 Even for a Democrat president.

00:36:11.000 Which part, though?

00:36:11.000 The bombings.

00:36:12.000 Oh, yeah.

00:36:12.000 All the various bombings from this peaceful, peaceful president.

00:36:15.000 Yeah, that's glorious.

00:36:15.000 And Trump picked that up.

00:36:17.000 Yeah.

00:36:17.000 And I was not happy.

00:36:18.000 I was like, see, in 2016, I was happy to not have voted for either of them, because Donald Trump picked up the drone strikes, and he picked up the commando raids, and there was a commando raid that killed a little girl, and I was complaining about all of that about Obama, and then Trump did it and I started laughing.

00:36:34.000 I was laughing when Trump won because he gave comeuppance to the Democrats, and then I was laughing when Trump started carrying out the same tired foreign policy and weapons sales, and I'm like, here we go!

00:36:44.000 And then all of a sudden Trump started firing these people, and then in the past year or so, past year and a half or so, he's been greatly improving.

00:36:52.000 Yeah, he's gotten a lot better.

00:36:54.000 I remember when he did the North Korea thing, and that meant a lot to me, seriously.

00:37:00.000 Because I remember hearing stories about why my family fled Korea, and how they desperately tried to come to the United States, they came to Hawaii, and I was just like, wow, I couldn't imagine.

00:37:12.000 My great-grandparents, I've never met them, I have no idea what they were thinking, and this was before the split of the country and all this stuff, it was like early 1900s.

00:37:21.000 And I'm just like, I can't imagine what was happening where they were like, it's time to get out of here and go somewhere better.

00:37:26.000 And they did.

00:37:27.000 And then the country's fractured in two, and I remember hearing stories about where my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather were both from, and one was north and one was south.

00:37:35.000 Wow.

00:37:36.000 And so I was just like, wow, I'll never get to visit that place, probably, unless there's unification.

00:37:42.000 I've gone to Germany, because I'm also German and Irish.

00:37:46.000 Yeah.

00:37:47.000 And so I've gone to Ireland, I've gone to Germany.

00:37:48.000 And I'm like, this is really cool.

00:37:49.000 It's really cool to like, like see like where my family's from.

00:37:52.000 Can't, it can't happen with, you know, what's now North Korea. 0.94

00:37:55.000 Yeah.

00:37:56.000 But Donald Trump crossed in the DMZ and I was like, this is awesome.

00:38:00.000 And the media was like, this is terrible.

00:38:01.000 I was like, what?

00:38:03.000 That was so cool.

00:38:04.000 Cause I was just remembering Obama sitting outside the DMZ with his, uh, DMZ.

00:38:09.000 With his binoculars.

00:38:10.000 With his binoculars.

00:38:10.000 And I was like, this is not what Trump is doing.

00:38:12.000 This is way better.

00:38:13.000 And they, you know, I don't know if Trump's been successful now, especially now that Kim Jong-un is reportedly in a coma.

00:38:18.000 I don't know either.

00:38:19.000 Using body doubles.

00:38:19.000 Yeah.

00:38:20.000 But I'm like, I respect that he's trying.

00:38:22.000 You know, now we've got this Middle Eastern peace deal.

00:38:23.000 Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent because I always fall to foreign policy for a lot of reasons.

00:38:27.000 But the main issue is Trump has dramatically improved.

00:38:30.000 And where I've usually said he's not that bad now, but I would be like, he's bad, but he's not that bad.

00:38:35.000 Now I'm like, he's doing pretty good.

00:38:36.000 Yeah.

00:38:36.000 There's a lot of things he's doing well with and the bombastic nature is kind of toned down.

00:38:43.000 And so I'm like, he's really starting to get into it.

00:38:45.000 I can respect this.

00:38:46.000 And I was mad early on.

00:38:48.000 But anyway, the main point is, coming off this last little bit here, what is the party itself doing?

00:38:54.000 Because I don't like the Republican Party.

00:38:56.000 I don't like the Democratic Party either.

00:38:59.000 Donald Trump, I like a little bit.

00:39:00.000 I think he's funny.

00:39:01.000 He's an entertainer.

00:39:02.000 I think he's great.

00:39:03.000 The only thing I liked about watching the RNC last night was President Trump's speech.

00:39:08.000 That was the best part.

00:39:09.000 That was the only thing I was really waiting for.

00:39:11.000 I didn't care what Rudy Giuliani said.

00:39:13.000 I know.

00:39:14.000 The other thing that I really appreciate... He wasn't that bad, though.

00:39:16.000 They brought in Ann Dorn, which I hugely valued.

00:39:19.000 I was like, that's amazing and beautiful.

00:39:21.000 And I appreciated President Trump talking about the familias.

00:39:24.000 Family.

00:39:26.000 How they were like, they had sacrificed so much. It started uh when that speech

00:39:32.000 came I started raining inside the house. Isn't that crazy? I noticed that too. Yeah there's

00:39:36.000 it was everyone in here was it was like you know it was just raining and uh fog of mist enveloped

00:39:40.000 the room it was very strange and then it cleared up when Ann stopped talking. But but in all

00:39:45.000 serious touching in all seriousness that story was uh made me angry.

00:39:50.000 It made me angry and sad.

00:39:52.000 I don't know if you guys listening heard Ann Dorn speak, but wow.

00:39:56.000 David Dorn seemed like a rad dude.

00:39:58.000 Not a Trump supporter apparently, of course not.

00:40:00.000 Doesn't matter.

00:40:01.000 But it's a story about a guy who, you know, lost his life in these riots trying to protect his friend.

00:40:07.000 Even at his age, he was a retired police captain, David Dorn.

00:40:10.000 Yeah, he was retired.

00:40:11.000 Even at his age, he still felt that sense of duty to protect what he cared about. 0.98

00:40:15.000 And some sick monster thought a TV was worth taking his life. 0.98

00:40:22.000 That's sad, man. 0.97

00:40:23.000 And she told the story about how every night, if there was a call to the pawn shop, it was his friend Lee, I think, right?

00:40:30.000 Yeah.

00:40:31.000 That he'd get up and let her know, and this one time, he didn't.

00:40:33.000 And when she woke up, he was gone.

00:40:35.000 Yeah.

00:40:35.000 She got a knock on the door and she didn't know where he had gone.

00:40:39.000 And why isn't David answering the door?

00:40:41.000 And then she goes to the door and there it was.

00:40:43.000 The police had come to let her know.

00:40:45.000 And it was brutal, man.

00:40:47.000 And Frank Luntz, who's a famous pollster, tweeted that he said,

00:40:50.000 everyone around me is crying.

00:40:52.000 I'm like, yeah, dude, everybody was crying.

00:40:54.000 But you know, there's something interesting I find about, like,

00:40:57.000 I don't know if this is universally true, but the things that make little kids...

00:41:02.000 I've been thinking about what makes men and women cry or not cry.

00:41:06.000 Because, like, guys don't cry.

00:41:07.000 They, like, rarely cry.

00:41:08.000 Yeah.

00:41:09.000 Like, there was a dude in Kenosha whose family business, you know, his family's legacy, their business was burned down.

00:41:16.000 He was nearly in tears.

00:41:18.000 And there are things, you know, guys cry, they do.

00:41:20.000 But I was reading something that said women cry, I think, like, four times a month and men cry, like, once per month.

00:41:26.000 Women cry? 1.00

00:41:26.000 Wait, wait. 1.00

00:41:27.000 Women cry four times a month? 1.00

00:41:29.000 On average or something like that.

00:41:30.000 And men cry like once per month.

00:41:31.000 Oh, I'm like a deeply flawed woman, I'm afraid.

00:41:33.000 Oh yeah, I don't cry at all.

00:41:35.000 Ever.

00:41:35.000 I don't cry, I get mad.

00:41:37.000 What's the point in crying?

00:41:38.000 You know what makes me cry?

00:41:38.000 Like watching a movie where a dog gets hurt.

00:41:40.000 Yeah, like- And then I'm just like, I don't want a dog!

00:41:43.000 Or animals getting hurt, you know?

00:41:44.000 Like I can watch movies where people are blowing up and I'm like, yeah, get em!

00:41:48.000 But like, the dog, it's like, even if the dog's with the bad guy, I'm like, no!

00:41:51.000 Don't do anything wrong!

00:41:52.000 Even though I know, like, the bad guys train the dogs.

00:41:54.000 No, but I was thinking about this, and I'm like, when I was watching the Aaron Dorn stuff, I was like, definitely fighting back tears, but I was getting really angry.

00:42:02.000 I was too.

00:42:02.000 I was like, this should not have happened.

00:42:05.000 Like, there's no reason.

00:42:06.000 I hate the senselessness more than anything, and I just pounded the table, sorry.

00:42:09.000 I hate senselessness.

00:42:11.000 I really hate people who die for no reason.

00:42:14.000 I hate unnecessary death and pain.

00:42:16.000 And to me, that was like the embodiment.

00:42:18.000 I hate death.

00:42:18.000 Yeah, of course.

00:42:19.000 All of it.

00:42:19.000 Every single one.

00:42:20.000 Well, unfortunately, death is literally the only thing that you... It's a great equalizer, man.

00:42:26.000 Nobody gets away from it.

00:42:27.000 So it's like, I don't... At least you can avoid it for a little bit longer.

00:42:29.000 But through science and technology, we will all live forever.

00:42:33.000 I mean maybe at some point, but I was reading something about immortality too that said 0.94

00:42:38.000 people think immortality is bad only because being old sucks.

00:42:42.000 And that if you were young and vibrant forever, you'd probably just go along with it. 0.93

00:42:46.000 But I digress.

00:42:47.000 The main issue is, you know, watching the RNC was powerful.

00:42:51.000 It was powerful.

00:42:52.000 So to get these C-SPAN callers who are like, I watched the DNC, and what is it?

00:42:57.000 The guy in a cape dancing?

00:42:58.000 It was, like, hard cringe.

00:43:00.000 When Joe Biden's announced he's getting the nomination and, like, they run in the room behind him with, like, party poppers, I was like, what is— Oh, so cringe!

00:43:07.000 It seriously looked like a high school, like, end-of-year celebration video.

00:43:11.000 It hurt.

00:43:12.000 Like, made by students.

00:43:13.000 I wished I was not sober.

00:43:15.000 The RNC was incredible.

00:43:17.000 Yeah.

00:43:18.000 So the reason I kind of brought up Ann Dorn was not so much for the emotional side, because I know that people might say that they're kind of using her story to get people on their side.

00:43:27.000 I thought that the GOP giving her a platform was incredibly impactful.

00:43:31.000 I thought that was really important.

00:43:33.000 And you know the media went after her.

00:43:34.000 For what?

00:43:35.000 They said that Ann's family tried stopping her.

00:43:37.000 Oh, her daughters disagreed. 0.99

00:43:39.000 Yeah.

00:43:39.000 They didn't want her to do it, and it was wrong what she did, and I'm just like, What?

00:43:44.000 I don't blame the family.

00:43:46.000 The family wants to have internal conversation about what was right or wrong is fine.

00:43:51.000 If Anne's daughter is critical, I respect her opinion.

00:43:56.000 But for the media to weaponize it, because everything Trump does, no matter what, is wrong, it's tiring.

00:44:04.000 You know, so we have all this violence and destruction.

00:44:06.000 And Trump's like, I'm going to send out feds to Portland to defend the courthouse.

00:44:10.000 They're the best feds ever.

00:44:11.000 They're going to arrest lots of terrorists.

00:44:13.000 And they're like, Trump's sending out secret police, make it stop!

00:44:16.000 And then Trump's like, well I never actually did send out Feds to all these various cities.

00:44:19.000 And then they're like, the anarchy is Trump's fault, it's happening under his watch!

00:44:23.000 See, they got him coming and going.

00:44:24.000 Yeah, exactly, there's nothing he can do.

00:44:26.000 And I mean, most of us know it at this point.

00:44:28.000 And it's funny when I have people like, you know, message me on Facebook, they'll like post, like I'll comment, because you know, part of like all of these posts, I posted the C-SPAN thing, Trump landslide incoming, of course I'm exaggerating, I don't necessarily know it's going to be a landslide, but I was just like, being hyperbolic.

00:44:43.000 Then I posted the letter from these Iron Range Democrats saying, you know, landslide, here it comes!

00:44:48.000 And these people take it so seriously, and they're like, you're nuts too, and blah blah blah, and I'm just like, dude, first of all, I'm not necessarily, I'm just like, being silly on Facebook, like, woo, here comes Trump, you can't stop him. 0.57

00:45:00.000 But I think these are signs that Trump is gonna win. 0.94

00:45:02.000 But I don't understand how these people can deny it.

00:45:05.000 Like, when you have the Union Belt, you know, the Iron Range, all these small Union towns being like, woo, go Trump!

00:45:11.000 And they're Democrat strongholds for like, you know, for decades.

00:45:14.000 That says something.

00:45:15.000 I think what they've got going for them is that they don't want it to be true.

00:45:19.000 So it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

00:45:21.000 They don't want it to be. 0.65

00:45:22.000 So gosh darn it, it's not. 0.90

00:45:24.000 And they'll argue with it till they're blue in the face. 0.96

00:45:26.000 And you know, this is a good point to bring up, because I look at where we are, and I say this often, like, are we in the bubble?

00:45:32.000 Are they in the bubble?

00:45:33.000 Are we both in a bubble?

00:45:35.000 I don't think we are, because we look at the polls that say Biden's supposed to be winning.

00:45:38.000 Right.

00:45:39.000 And so we're literally coming at it from a, hmm, Biden's like on track to win, but I think Trump could win for these reasons.

00:45:44.000 So when you're either moderate or conservative, you're like, hmm, this is interesting.

00:45:49.000 I wonder how it'll play out.

00:45:50.000 On the left, they're like, Trump's going to lose no matter what.

00:45:52.000 The economy is terrible, COVID, oh, everyone who died.

00:45:55.000 And I'm sitting here like, Trump's not responsible for people who died from a pandemic.

00:46:00.000 Pandemics happen.

00:46:01.000 And I really do think that people know that the economy being in the state it's in is not his fault.

00:46:08.000 And if anything, you could blame that on the Democrats more than anything.

00:46:11.000 I'll tell you this, man, this Iron Range thing is huge.

00:46:14.000 It really is.

00:46:15.000 Because this is saying several things.

00:46:17.000 For one, Trump is right on the economy.

00:46:19.000 And Trump's approval rating on the economy has been above water basically the entire time.

00:46:23.000 So I look at Trump's job approval rating and I'm like, does that matter?

00:46:27.000 I look at his favorability, does that matter?

00:46:29.000 I tell you this man, I met a guy at the airport and he told me he would not invite Trump over for dinner but he's gonna vote for him because that money's good.

00:46:35.000 You know what that means?

00:46:36.000 He gets polled and they say, how do you think, how do you feel about Trump? 1.00

00:46:39.000 Oh, he's a low-life scumbag. 1.00

00:46:40.000 Do you think he's doing a good job? 1.00

00:46:42.000 Would you vote for him?

00:46:42.000 Not really.

00:46:43.000 Oh yeah, because the money's good.

00:46:45.000 So he can be doing bad in a lot of ways.

00:46:47.000 So long as he's making you money.

00:46:48.000 Yeah.

00:46:49.000 And that's, that's, that's kind of the thing.

00:46:50.000 Like I talked about before, like if you could hire a plumber who stank and was foul mouthed, but boy, could he fix that toilet versus a guy who just complained about the other plumber all day and didn't fix the toilet.

00:47:02.000 And he was clean and proper looking.

00:47:03.000 I'm going to be like, dude, I like your man.

00:47:05.000 You clean, you got that great cologne.

00:47:07.000 It smells great.

00:47:08.000 But all you do is complain.

00:47:09.000 And I hired you to fix a toilet. 0.94

00:47:11.000 Nancy, you hear what Nancy Pelosi's trying to do now? 0.85

00:47:11.000 Yep. 0.85

00:47:13.000 She wants Trump's tax returns, even if he loses.

00:47:16.000 Why?

00:47:18.000 I don't understand.

00:47:19.000 Just imagine this.

00:47:20.000 Donald Trump loses and he, like, gives a concession speech and he's like, Joe Biden ran a heck of a race.

00:47:26.000 I appreciate it.

00:47:27.000 You know, I concede.

00:47:29.000 God bless America.

00:47:30.000 He walks off stage and then Nancy Pelosi comes running out frantic with her hair all crazy, waving tax returns. 1.00

00:47:35.000 It's like, but Trump left.

00:47:37.000 No one cares.

00:47:38.000 He's gone.

00:47:40.000 That's the crazy thing to me because I think we were talking to Ryan Long, the comedian, and he said it would be really, really funny if Biden won just to see what would happen because all of these networks and all these politicians would have nothing anymore because their entire identity is like hating Trump.

00:47:54.000 If Trump leaves, Nancy Pelosi says she's still going to pull his tax returns. 0.95

00:47:58.000 And I'm just like, I don't care about his tax returns now.

00:48:02.000 I'm especially not going to care about him when he loses.

00:48:04.000 The square root of how much I care about it now will be how much I care about it after he's gone. 0.99

00:48:09.000 Are you insane? 0.61

00:48:11.000 No, but like, he's not going to be in the office. 0.98

00:48:13.000 Like, how do you justify that?

00:48:15.000 I don't know.

00:48:16.000 That is paranoid, delusional insanity, I tell you what.

00:48:19.000 I'm inclined to agree.

00:48:20.000 Check this out, check this out.

00:48:21.000 Let me show you some of this, some of this paranoid delusional insanity.

00:48:24.000 Cool. 0.96

00:48:25.000 From Elijah Schaeffer, quote, we're gonna burn that S down. 0.92

00:48:29.000 A peaceful protester in D.C.

00:48:30.000 shouts, I love how they're doing that, saying he is part of an insurgency group.

00:48:35.000 He later spread lies that the victims of the Kenosha shooting were kids.

00:48:39.000 This would be considered criminal inciting a riot in most states.

00:48:42.000 It would, and it's happened before, and they never get charged for it.

00:48:46.000 But I assure you, regular people are watching this kind of stuff.

00:48:50.000 These people are lying outright.

00:48:52.000 So you know what I have fun doing right now?

00:48:54.000 I don't know why I do it, but it's the one thing I really like doing.

00:48:57.000 It's just posting comments on Facebook.

00:48:59.000 But I post them in very droll kind of ways.

00:49:03.000 Is that the right word?

00:49:04.000 Where I'm just kind of like... You know that meme of Bugs Bunny shooting and his eyes are half closed and he's lazily pointing the gun?

00:49:12.000 That's how I imagine it.

00:49:13.000 That's how Tim comments.

00:49:14.000 I do, yeah.

00:49:14.000 Like, I don't go in there like, you know what, man, you're so wrong!

00:49:17.000 I go in there and I just post, like, really bland, like, half-assed comments.

00:49:21.000 So, like, people do this big thread, this guy I know, and they're like, can you believe what this, you know, this terrorist kid in Kenosha did?

00:49:27.000 And then they're all posting this stuff, and I was like, I was like, dang, yo, if only Blake didn't grab that knife.

00:49:33.000 Like, they just blow up.

00:49:34.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

00:49:35.000 And I'm like, that's it.

00:49:36.000 That's the fuse.

00:49:37.000 And I'm not trying to make people lose their minds, but I'm like, there you go.

00:49:42.000 Have some contrary information that I know you don't care to actually deal with.

00:49:45.000 Yeah, that is a really interesting approach.

00:49:47.000 And I kind of like to do that, too, because it's considered a Socratic method.

00:49:51.000 I don't really go that way, but I'm like, hey, have you thought about this?

00:49:54.000 Interesting that this happened.

00:49:55.000 Have you considered this?

00:49:57.000 I could Socratic method that.

00:49:59.000 You could, this is different from what you do.

00:50:01.000 You know, often when I'm actually, when it's like, if it's someone I don't know, I'll say something like, you know, I think it's really bad this happened, and, you know, I think the kid shouldn't have been out there, but, you know, you need to understand, like, when X, Y, and Z happens, these are, like, natural consequences, and they'll still get mad at you, but I'm talking about, like, some people I know will be, like, my lefty friends or whatever, and I'll just drop in, like, yeah, man, if only Blake didn't try to grab that knife, you know?

00:50:24.000 I don't even know.

00:50:25.000 I don't know if he grabbed it or he was trying to put it away.

00:50:27.000 They yelled, drop the knife. 0.99

00:50:27.000 Like it was in his hand. 0.99

00:50:28.000 Yeah.

00:50:29.000 According to a witness.

00:50:30.000 And the response from them is like, but the cops lie.

00:50:32.000 And I'm like, the cops lie.

00:50:36.000 I don't, I don't know.

00:50:38.000 I don't care.

00:50:39.000 Like a witness, a witness said it happened.

00:50:40.000 Like you can't make up whether they lied or they didn't lie.

00:50:43.000 All we know is here's, here's what they said.

00:50:45.000 Like a witness said, the guy said, drop the knife.

00:50:47.000 Well, all we know.

00:50:48.000 Yeah.

00:50:49.000 All we know is that the knife was on the floorboard.

00:50:51.000 Why would I make any assumptions?

00:50:52.000 But now we're basically getting Unity Extremists.

00:50:54.000 But man, we got a lot to go through still.

00:50:56.000 Check this out.

00:50:58.000 This is something that made me laugh a lot.

00:51:00.000 I'm giving this to all of you as a gift.

00:51:02.000 I hope you're appreciative of this.

00:51:03.000 I'm ready.

00:51:04.000 It's a tweet from Joe Walsh.

00:51:05.000 You guys know Joe Walsh, right?

00:51:07.000 His Twitter icon is still Walsh 2020.

00:51:09.000 Whoa.

00:51:10.000 The dude hasn't changed it yet.

00:51:11.000 What?

00:51:12.000 That's commitment.

00:51:13.000 But this dude, if you want to see some desperation, you're going to love this.

00:51:19.000 He tweeted, one last time, Joe Biden, I am a conservative working my ass off to help you win.

00:51:25.000 You're a good man, but please, sir, get out of your basement, in all caps, by the way, get on a plane and go to Kenosha.

00:51:30.000 Please lead, comfort, heal.

00:51:32.000 If you don't, Trump could win.

00:51:34.000 That's all.

00:51:34.000 Time for tequila for me.

00:51:36.000 Got to respect the tequila time.

00:51:37.000 I love this tweet.

00:51:38.000 You know why?

00:51:39.000 Why?

00:51:39.000 Because it feels like honest.

00:51:41.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:51:41.000 Like, Joe, get out of the basement!

00:51:43.000 I'm gonna go get drunk.

00:51:44.000 Yeah, yes.

00:51:45.000 I hear you, man. 0.99

00:51:47.000 You're losing and your guy is a coward hiding in the basement, so I don't know what else you could expect. 0.97

00:51:51.000 No, I really like it because it starts out sane and reasonable. 0.98

00:51:55.000 One last time, Joe Biden, he explains himself, I'm a conservative working my butt off to help you win.

00:52:00.000 You're a good man, but please, sir.

00:52:02.000 And then he gets a little bit insane.

00:52:03.000 And then he snaps.

00:52:04.000 He gets all caps and then he's going to drink.

00:52:06.000 Get out of the basement!

00:52:08.000 It's time to bring up the story of Kyle Rittenhouse because we do have a little bit more information but for the most part I want to do kind of like a media critique because we have this Twitter thread from a guy named Mark Joseph Stern and I'm going to debunk it because it's like even though he has pictures of evidence about what happened, they just lie.

00:52:27.000 So kind of, you know, looking at what that kid said.

00:52:29.000 So we just had that we saw that tweet where this guy and I don't know if he's in D.C.

00:52:35.000 or whatever.

00:52:35.000 He said he was part of an insurgency group.

00:52:37.000 Yes.

00:52:37.000 And that he said a white supremacist killed three kids in Kenosha.

00:52:40.000 It's like, first of all, the kid was younger than the three felons who died.

00:52:44.000 Yeah.

00:52:44.000 When he thinks when he's thinking of a kid, he's thinking of the guy they were trying to attack.

00:52:48.000 But they don't know anything.

00:52:50.000 Yeah, they don't know.

00:52:50.000 They don't read the news.

00:52:51.000 But more importantly, I bet that dude didn't care.

00:52:54.000 He's probably thinking, I'll say it this way, because it'll incite, you know what I mean?

00:52:56.000 Say whatever you want.

00:52:57.000 It'll rile people up.

00:52:57.000 Yep.

00:52:58.000 Check this out.

00:52:59.000 Mark Joseph Stern says, and this guy is a writer for Slate, staff writer. 0.99

00:53:03.000 He says, at this moment, conservative media figures are crafting a narrative that black people attempting to disarm a white vigilante who was, one, illegally brandishing an assault weapon, after two, shooting someone in the head, deserve to get shot. 1.00

00:53:15.000 It is racist, and it is sickening. 0.99

00:53:17.000 Okay, first of all, it was white people who got shot. 0.99

00:53:20.000 Yeah.

00:53:20.000 This is the weirdest thing to me.

00:53:21.000 It's like the three people who got shot were all white.

00:53:23.000 Yeah.

00:53:24.000 So why is he trying to say that black people were trying to disarm the kid?

00:53:27.000 The next thing he brings up is the illegal brandishing of an assault weapon.

00:53:31.000 When this first came out, they were saying that Kyle Rittenhouse was 17, so he couldn't legally be carrying the weapon.

00:53:36.000 And then a bunch of actual legal experts were like, actually, there's an exemption for 16 and 17 year olds carrying rifles and shotguns.

00:53:43.000 End of story.

00:53:45.000 Oh, that simple.

00:53:46.000 Will Chamberlain did a thread on it looking at the actual statutes and said, yep, doesn't look like he violated any statutes.

00:53:51.000 And it seems like that's why the cops didn't care.

00:53:53.000 Right.

00:53:53.000 They're like, here's a kid.

00:53:55.000 He's carrying a rifle.

00:53:56.000 He's allowed to do it.

00:53:57.000 End of story.

00:53:58.000 Of course, this guy doesn't do any work.

00:54:00.000 And this is very, very, very typical of the modern mainstream media left.

00:54:03.000 They have no idea what they're talking about.

00:54:05.000 They just make it up.

00:54:06.000 They don't even Google stuff.

00:54:08.000 I know.

00:54:08.000 It's amazing.

00:54:10.000 Have you guys ever seen that website, Let Me Google That, for you?

00:54:12.000 Because I would really recommend it.

00:54:14.000 Oh, you sent it to me once.

00:54:15.000 Yeah, it's an insult.

00:54:16.000 Yeah, I know.

00:54:17.000 So when someone's like, you know, like, you know, how do I find, you know, the gun shop?

00:54:22.000 You send them Let Me Google That for you, and then it, like, loads a website where it automatically types it in and then presses Google.

00:54:27.000 Like, let me Google that for you, you know?

00:54:29.000 Smarty pants.

00:54:30.000 Here's what he says.

00:54:31.000 We saw the usual suspects begin developing this narrative yesterday by framing Kyle Rittenhouse's

00:54:35.000 victims as bloodthirsty assailants rather than rightly frightened civilians trying to

00:54:39.000 stop him from murdering more people with an assault weapon.

00:54:41.000 Now it's their party line, Vile.

00:54:43.000 Let's correct this.

00:54:45.000 There's actually video earlier in the night where two of the guys, the two guys who died, are threatening the young men who are armed, yelling at them, saying, shoot me, shoot me, and things like that, getting up in their face, and one person actually grabs the vest of one of these, you know, armed young men and pulls him back, clearly trying to retreat from the conflict.

00:55:03.000 So no, they're wrong.

00:55:05.000 He says by this morning.

00:55:06.000 And the New York Times confirms this.

00:55:08.000 Men trying to disarm Rittenhouse, who crossed state lines in the assault weapon he possessed

00:55:11.000 illegally, then shot someone in the head, were actually just attacking him, and Rittenhouse

00:55:16.000 had a right to shoot them too.

00:55:18.000 And the New York Times confirms this.

00:55:22.000 They show that Rittenhouse was running away when someone threw a plastic bag of something

00:55:26.000 at him, and then somebody fired a gun into the air, Rittenhouse turned towards the sound

00:55:31.000 of the fire, and opened fire, striking one of the men, I believe five times.

00:55:36.000 Yeah, a lot of people don't know this, five times.

00:55:38.000 In like, the leg, like two in the leg, one in the groin, one in the side, one in the head.

00:55:42.000 He shot him five times. 0.90

00:55:43.000 Wow.

00:55:43.000 That's crazy, I didn't know that.

00:55:45.000 But what you need to understand is, if you chase someone, and they're trying to flee, and then someone fires a gun into the air, they might turn and start shooting in the direction of where the gunshot went off, and that's exactly what happened.

00:55:56.000 He says, Here's the new narrative.

00:55:58.000 Using non-lethal force to disarm a vigilante illegally, brandishing an assault weapon, again, not true, who just shot someone in the head, is the real crime, and that vigilante acted in self-defense when he shot the men trying to disarm him.

00:56:09.000 This is fully delusional.

00:56:11.000 When you consider that they attacked him first, and then he fired after someone shooting, and they chased after him, he fell, they stomped his head, yes, he was defending himself.

00:56:22.000 We're not talking about a situation where a crazed maniac was going around killing people.

00:56:26.000 We're talking about a situation where a young man who is legally As far as we can tell right now, possessing a firearm.

00:56:32.000 In fact, they haven't charged him with illegal possession.

00:56:34.000 They've only charged him with homicide.

00:56:36.000 We'll see if that sticks.

00:56:37.000 Maybe he will be convicted, I'm just saying.

00:56:39.000 So, maybe this guy... At any rate, this guy is wrong.

00:56:43.000 But maybe Kyle Rittenhouse will end up getting convicted in some capacity.

00:56:46.000 But anyway, it was a legal weapon.

00:56:47.000 He was acting in self-defense.

00:56:48.000 That's just a fact.

00:56:50.000 You can't attack someone and when they defend themselves, now claim it's a whole new instance where they've become a mass shooter who must be disarmed.

00:56:57.000 Apparently you can.

00:56:58.000 Well, that's what he's doing.

00:56:59.000 Yeah.

00:56:59.000 Yeah, gaslighting.

00:57:00.000 Yep.

00:57:01.000 He says, now we're here.

00:57:02.000 The psychopaths have constructed their narrative.

00:57:05.000 It's time to promote it.

00:57:06.000 Disarming a vigilante who's illegally brandishing an assault weapon is the real violence.

00:57:10.000 You see how he keeps saying that over and over again?

00:57:12.000 With no evidence.

00:57:13.000 Because USA Today actually published, it was Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, saying a legal expert said there's an exemption for 17-year-olds.

00:57:19.000 They also keep saying traveled across state lines, ignoring the fact that the kids from Antioch, Illinois, which is about 20 minutes from Kenosha, and it seems that Kenosha is the biggest city.

00:57:30.000 If you lived in Antioch and you were like, I want to go to the city, it's probably Kenosha.

00:57:33.000 It could be Chicago.

00:57:35.000 Yeah, but that's kind of a long way, right?

00:57:37.000 I think it might be comparable.

00:57:39.000 Antioch, no, it's probably 45 minutes to an hour maybe.

00:57:43.000 But Kenosha's like a 20 minute drive.

00:57:45.000 So if you want to go to a bigger urban center, the kid probably hangs out there all the time.

00:57:48.000 So crossing state lines, while technically correct, you gotta give it context.

00:57:52.000 He did hang out there all the time, because as we can see from literal photographs taken earlier in the day, he's cleaning off graffiti.

00:58:00.000 And he's doing work in the town, like he has friends and family and hangs out there a lot.

00:58:05.000 You know what one of the bigger problems is?

00:58:06.000 A lot of people pointed out.

00:58:08.000 He had to run something like 630 feet when they were chasing after him, and he was out of shape.

00:58:14.000 Yeah.

00:58:14.000 A lot of people pointed out he's a little chubby kid, and if he had actually done better training, he would have easily escaped and no one would have lost their lives.

00:58:20.000 That's too bad.

00:58:21.000 Still not his fault, though.

00:58:22.000 You have no legal obligation to be good at running.

00:58:22.000 No.

00:58:25.000 You know, especially, you know, he tripped, so he probably would have been able to get out no problem.

00:58:25.000 Right.

00:58:29.000 Anyone can trip.

00:58:29.000 I'll tell you what, man.

00:58:31.000 I don't care.

00:58:32.000 You know, it's really funny.

00:58:34.000 How they'll say things like, in the event of a mass shooter, like, hide, barricade, you know, only attack when you absolutely have to.

00:58:41.000 When you have the situation here, they ran up and tried taking his gun from him.

00:58:45.000 Did you hear what the, so this is actually, I think this is also from Andy Ngo, he tweeted this, that the guy with the Glock, who ran up to him, apparently told a friend, this is all hearsay by the way, so I'm not saying it's true, it's just, you know, coming out through various sources, reportedly, that the guy said his only regret was not killing the kid.

00:59:02.000 I did hear that.

00:59:03.000 So there's a few outlets that have reported this because there was a Facebook post by someone who posted a picture with the guy in the hospital and they said, I talked to him, he said his only regret was not killing the kid.

00:59:11.000 Wow.

00:59:13.000 Yep, and it's true.

00:59:14.000 I was curious about that.

00:59:15.000 The guy who got his bicep blown off was holding a Glock.

00:59:18.000 Oh yeah. 0.89

00:59:19.000 He could have crouched, taken aim, and killed Kyle. 0.86

00:59:22.000 Yeah. 0.59

00:59:23.000 He didn't do it.

00:59:24.000 I mean, I'm glad he survived.

00:59:27.000 I, you know, I think anyone, I don't want any of this conflict, you know what I mean?

00:59:31.000 Right.

00:59:33.000 Look, I'll say that Kyle should not have been out there with a weapon, but first, the rioters shouldn't have been out there destroying everything.

00:59:40.000 So it's like, the first people I'm going to criticize are the people who started everything.

00:59:44.000 And then after we get through all that, I'll say, leave it to law enforcement.

00:59:48.000 The problem?

00:59:49.000 Law enforcement's backing down.

00:59:50.000 Right.

00:59:51.000 So what do you do at that point?

00:59:53.000 I don't know.

00:59:54.000 The kid was underage, you know?

00:59:54.000 I don't know.

00:59:56.000 So he goes on to say, he says, watch the videos and you'll see what actually happened.

00:59:59.000 Men were chasing down a dangerous vigilante who just shot someone in the head because the police refused to stop him themselves.

01:00:05.000 That's not true.

01:00:06.000 They were chasing down, you know, you could frame it as a dangerous vigilante, but the kid was being chased.

01:00:13.000 So actually, here's what happened.

01:00:14.000 According to the Daily Caller, What started the conflict in the first place, the reason why Kyle was running before anyone got shot, is because when these guys were screaming at him, someone tried grabbing his gun.

01:00:25.000 Oh.

01:00:26.000 Yeah, so, I was reading the breakdown from, it's Shelby Tolcott, I believe her name is?

01:00:30.000 Yeah, they were there.

01:00:32.000 Right.

01:00:32.000 Yeah.

01:00:33.000 And she said, the initial conflict started when someone tried grabbing his gun, and then he ran, and they chased after him, and then someone threw something at him, someone fired in the air, he heard the gunshot, turned, and aimed.

01:00:45.000 And the New York Times reported there were 16 other gunshots.

01:00:49.000 You know what the real issue here is?

01:00:50.000 Kyle won.

01:00:52.000 That's it.

01:00:52.000 Yep.

01:00:53.000 Kyle very, very easily could have been dead in a gun fight with other people.

01:00:58.000 He apparently only fired, I think, like seven rounds, if you go by what they said.

01:01:04.000 Sixteen other rounds were fired by someone else, or more than one person.

01:01:08.000 And we still don't know who fired those.

01:01:09.000 Right.

01:01:10.000 Interesting.

01:01:11.000 Yep.

01:01:11.000 So, the real situation, I would say, is, you know what, to be fair?

01:01:16.000 Conflict.

01:01:17.000 That's about it.

01:01:19.000 Yeah.

01:01:19.000 Should people, should anybody be engaging in this kind of stuff?

01:01:22.000 No. 0.77

01:01:22.000 Should the far left be going out, burning things down, attacking people, bashing old men over the head? 0.77

01:01:26.000 Absolutely not.

01:01:27.000 And then from this is born conflict, where someone else comes out and says, I've had enough of this.

01:01:32.000 There you go.

01:01:33.000 I wish that circumstances weren't such that Kyle felt a need to do this because people are bringing attention to the fact that he was like aspiring to be a policeman and they're holding this against him like tons of young men aren't similarly minded.

01:01:46.000 They're not like, I want to join the military.

01:01:47.000 I want to be a policeman.

01:01:48.000 That's a perfectly normal thing.

01:01:50.000 I want to be a fireman when I grow up.

01:01:51.000 Exactly.

01:01:53.000 Yeah, you turned tomato again.

01:01:54.000 We keep fixing the camera and it keeps, like, breaking.

01:01:56.000 I think the camera's broken, to be honest.

01:01:57.000 Yeah, it's possible.

01:01:58.000 Yeah, because we fixed the settings in it, but it's still tomato-fying, Lydia.

01:02:01.000 Yeah, it's all good.

01:02:01.000 It's you.

01:02:02.000 It's your fault.

01:02:02.000 It's true.

01:02:03.000 Because other people didn't turn into tomatoes.

01:02:05.000 Anyway, he goes on to say, Wait, what?

01:02:06.000 Uh-oh! 0.94

01:02:06.000 He had to issue a correction. 0.94

01:02:07.000 and you'll see a different narrative. 0.96

01:02:09.000 Violent black men attacked a good-hearted, if overzealous, young white man, 0.94

01:02:12.000 who had no choice but to fight back in self-defense. 0.99

01:02:15.000 Disarming a potential mass shooter while black, it seems, was the real crime here. 0.98

01:02:18.000 Wait, what? 0.99

01:02:19.000 Uh-oh! He had to issue a correction. Check this out.

01:02:21.000 We know at least two of Rittenhouse's victims were white.

01:02:24.000 They were part of a group of black and white protesters trying to stop him from shooting more people.

01:02:29.000 The idea that there's no racial dynamic here just because the black protesters avoided Rittenhouse's bullets is absurd. 0.79

01:02:34.000 All right, oops.

01:02:35.000 I got stuff to say about this.

01:02:36.000 All right, I'm gonna be tomato lady here.

01:02:39.000 I don't even care anymore because Okay, first of all, I don't know if you guys have looked at Rittenhouse's information, but he actually is not white as such. 0.74

01:02:48.000 He's labeled as being Hispanic, so that kind of removes their racial- Really?

01:02:52.000 He is.

01:02:53.000 And I'm not sure, maybe his mom is Hispanic because his name is very, very white sounding.

01:02:58.000 I agree.

01:02:58.000 Yeah.

01:02:59.000 So, first of all, no.

01:03:01.000 Second of all, conservative media had people literally on the ground running around with their cell phones out taking pictures of this.

01:03:09.000 So I am conservative.

01:03:11.000 I have a bias that way, but if I were to judge based on, well you can judge based on the guy from the New York Times who did this investigative pictorial thing where he goes through and he gives an accurate representation of what actually happened there as well.

01:03:23.000 He said the exact same thing.

01:03:24.000 This is not right-wing media.

01:03:26.000 This is what happened.

01:03:27.000 Sorry it's late, dude.

01:03:29.000 The media just lies.

01:03:30.000 And where did he get that it was black dudes? 0.96

01:03:32.000 I don't understand this. 0.90

01:03:34.000 He made it up.

01:03:35.000 Here's what happens.

01:03:36.000 He's sitting in his room with his eyes... The Bugs Bunny meme, okay?

01:03:40.000 You've seen the meme of Bugs Bunny?

01:03:42.000 And he's like, his arms are on the thing, and he pulls out the gun really slowly, and his eyes are half-closed, and he bangs.

01:03:47.000 That's what it is.

01:03:48.000 They're sitting there, they've done no research, they have no idea what's going on, and then their boss goes, can you write something up?

01:03:54.000 And they go, huh?

01:03:56.000 What, man?

01:03:57.000 It's like, we need you to write something about the shooting in Kenosha.

01:03:59.000 There was a shooting in Kenosha?

01:04:02.000 Yes, here's some notes about it.

01:04:05.000 Wow!

01:04:06.000 And then he puts it down and starts writing.

01:04:09.000 And then they get it and they're just like, just publish it.

01:04:11.000 No copy editor, no fact checker.

01:04:12.000 Good to go.

01:04:14.000 See, back in the day before Twitter, we had this thing.

01:04:16.000 It was called a fact checker.

01:04:19.000 Oh, what's that?

01:04:20.000 Here's how it used to work.

01:04:21.000 A journalist would write a story.

01:04:23.000 They would give it to their editor.

01:04:25.000 The editor would go through it.

01:04:26.000 They'd have copy editors for grammatical errors and stuff like that.

01:04:29.000 And then the fact checker would call the sources to confirm the reporter was telling the truth.

01:04:33.000 Yeah!

01:04:34.000 Now, what do we get?

01:04:35.000 Random dude goes on Twitter and spews a bunch of nonsense that he has no idea what happened.

01:04:39.000 Burps his ideas out onto Twitter.

01:04:41.000 Look at his, he's got a fancy little blue checkmark.

01:04:43.000 Well, it's actually a white checkmark because I use dark mode, but you know what I mean.

01:04:47.000 These fancy little checkmark people have done no research, and that's it.

01:04:51.000 Yeah.

01:04:51.000 You know what's really, really funny about this?

01:04:53.000 I love this.

01:04:54.000 I mentioned this in one of my earlier segments.

01:04:57.000 So, not to toot my own horn, Go on.

01:05:02.000 My three channels are getting around 90 million views.

01:05:04.000 Oh! 0.60

01:05:05.000 And we have this story about Ben Shapiro.

01:05:08.000 I don't know, somewhere.

01:05:09.000 Oh yeah, we got a bunch of tabs open.

01:05:11.000 We're going to talk about Ben Shapiro and how he owns Facebook.

01:05:14.000 But in this story from the New York Times, they mention that Ben gets 56 million interactions per month or something.

01:05:21.000 That's pretty impressive.

01:05:22.000 And it's more than ABC, CBS, NBC, The Washington Post, and New York Times, and NPR combined.

01:05:29.000 And I'm like, wow, that's a lot.

01:05:30.000 What does that say that I'm getting 90 million views on all my content?

01:05:34.000 Is it like double all of those things combined or something?

01:05:37.000 Sounds like it.

01:05:38.000 So the interesting thing about it, though, and the reason I bring it up again, it's not really it's not to brag, but I do.

01:05:42.000 I do really appreciate everybody who listens and hangs out because it does mean a lot to me.

01:05:45.000 But Wikipedia, they only include things if it's written by some guy at a company.

01:05:53.000 Blue check.

01:05:54.000 Isn't that amazing that this blue check guy can write a fake news op-ed, and they'll consider it reliable and put it in, but then if I say something to 90 million people, they say, well, that's not relevant. 0.56

01:06:07.000 We can't include that in Wikipedia.

01:06:09.000 Welcome to the future.

01:06:10.000 They're writing mumbo-jumbo nonsense from people who can't use Google, and I'm not considered reliable.

01:06:16.000 That's fine.

01:06:16.000 I don't care if they consider me reliable.

01:06:18.000 That's fine.

01:06:18.000 I don't care.

01:06:19.000 You just want to highlight that discrepancy.

01:06:21.000 I just want to highlight the changing landscape of media.

01:06:24.000 And Wikipedia is not necessarily a legacy institution.

01:06:27.000 I mean, it kind of is, but in the sense that it's digital, it's online, right?

01:06:30.000 Yeah.

01:06:30.000 But their whole process is based upon if you have the funding to run a blog, then we'll determine if you're reliable or not.

01:06:38.000 That makes no sense.

01:06:39.000 So here I am, and Ben Shapiro as well, substantially more influential than all of these outlets.

01:06:46.000 And Wikipedia chooses to grab stuff from Slate, where this guy just makes up random garbage.

01:06:51.000 It's not real.

01:06:51.000 Well, before I continue, I would like to say that I'm kind of grateful to this guy from Slate, because you can track The fundamental error that he makes in his first tweet, you can track it all the way down through the rest of his tweets and you're like, this is where it's wrong.

01:07:05.000 You can trace it.

01:07:06.000 And that's, that's helpful.

01:07:08.000 Cause it's like, you don't always see that.

01:07:10.000 Sometimes you'll start at the top of an article and then make a false assumption and you'll get to the end and you're like, holy cow, I didn't know this.

01:07:15.000 But if you, if you don't go back and you're like, oh gosh, that was wrong.

01:07:18.000 You won't ever figure it out.

01:07:19.000 So reading through someone's tweets, it's like, Hey, you know what?

01:07:21.000 I can see the problem tracking all the way down.

01:07:23.000 And that's why his conclusion is wrong.

01:07:25.000 I make mistakes sometimes.

01:07:26.000 I tweeted this article that said that, like, a certain number of dead voters had their votes disqualified.

01:07:31.000 Yeah.

01:07:31.000 And then I jumped the gun because I had read it from a different source, and I didn't finish—I read it from a different source, chased it to the principal source, and then said, okay, it's a legit source, and then I tweeted, then who's filling these out?

01:07:42.000 Then I went back and read it and went, ah, I'm an idiot. 0.72

01:07:45.000 It was the people who filled them out, then died, then got their votes disqualified. 0.95

01:07:50.000 So I issued a correction.

01:07:51.000 I said I made a mistake on this one, and I'm willing to delete or correct.

01:07:55.000 Typically what I'll do is I'll correct, because I want to make sure that if anyone clicks the tweet, they see the correction.

01:08:00.000 Otherwise, if you delete it, people still saw it.

01:08:03.000 It's a tough call, it really is.

01:08:05.000 But these people will put up fake news and never bother checking, and they don't care.

01:08:08.000 And you know what's worse is, they get... Like, there was one instance where I did a video and someone said I was wrong.

01:08:15.000 They had a smaller YouTube channel.

01:08:17.000 And I said, well, I don't know if I'm wrong, because I hear what you're saying, so I'll put a link to your video so people can hear what you're saying.

01:08:22.000 That's good.

01:08:23.000 Yeah, because I'm like... No compromise.

01:08:25.000 It's more just so... It's more like...

01:08:28.000 Some of these things are hard to break down.

01:08:31.000 So I'm willing to put a, you know, a contrarian or a counter point.

01:08:36.000 If someone thinks that, you know, it depends.

01:08:38.000 If I think it's like a bad faith attempt, then I just like ignore it.

01:08:41.000 But for the most part, someone says, you missed this.

01:08:43.000 I'll be like, Oh, especially on gun stuff.

01:08:45.000 People say it all the time.

01:08:46.000 Like, Tim, you're wrong about this.

01:08:47.000 I'm like, there you go.

01:08:47.000 I was wrong about that.

01:08:49.000 I'm no expert.

01:08:50.000 The big issue I think with trusting media is whether or not someone's willing to go, Ooh, I didn't realize I was wrong about that.

01:08:55.000 Versus someone saying, I don't care.

01:08:58.000 Isn't it so much more interesting to have a conversation with someone who will pause when you correct them and somebody who's like, you know what?

01:09:05.000 I didn't think about that.

01:09:07.000 I got to think about that and I'll get back to you.

01:09:08.000 That's so much more interesting than someone who just runs you over and is like constantly, I'm right.

01:09:13.000 You're wrong.

01:09:13.000 I'm right.

01:09:14.000 I'm right.

01:09:14.000 I can't be wrong.

01:09:15.000 The problem with leftist media is that, like, when it comes to podcasts and stuff, they'll say a fact.

01:09:21.000 Or, I'll put it this way.

01:09:23.000 Let's say, like, this has happened several times to Joe Rogan.

01:09:25.000 Someone will say something on his show, and Joe will go, is that true?

01:09:29.000 I haven't heard that before.

01:09:31.000 And the guy will be like, oh yeah, X, Y, and Z. And then the media will say, Joe Rogan allows people to say fringe, unhinged, whatever craziness, unchallenged.

01:09:40.000 And it's like, is Joe supposed to be like, I've never heard that before, therefore you're wrong!

01:09:45.000 That's horrible, though.

01:09:46.000 It doesn't make sense.

01:09:48.000 But that's exactly what the media does.

01:09:50.000 Take something new that no one's ever told them before, and they're like, well, I have a preconceived notion and this doesn't quite fit with it, therefore, it's wrong.

01:09:57.000 There can be no other solution.

01:09:59.000 And they're posting fake news all the time.

01:10:01.000 And they're never sorry.

01:10:02.000 Yeah, I know.

01:10:03.000 And their corrections are at the bottom of the article.

01:10:06.000 You know what I'm thinking?

01:10:06.000 In like four to eight years, they're gonna be gone.

01:10:09.000 I think so, too.

01:10:10.000 So I think these big legacy brands are all dying.

01:10:13.000 I think it's a fact that they're all dying.

01:10:14.000 But we still see the New York Times increase their digital subscriptions and things like that.

01:10:19.000 But what I think is happening is, you put it this way, let's say 20 years ago there were 50 million newspaper subscribers.

01:10:27.000 As the internet emerged, people just started choosing which one they wanted to subscribe to.

01:10:31.000 50 million becomes 30 million, because many get their news for free.

01:10:35.000 But of that remaining pool, they're starting to increasingly subscribe to only the New York Times.

01:10:42.000 From that lens, the New York Times is skyrocketing in growth, and everyone's like, wow, they're doing so well!

01:10:47.000 While every other news outlet is crumbling around them.

01:10:52.000 Crumbling down around them.

01:10:54.000 And so, eventually, it will be that the only news subscribers left are subscribed to the New York Times, and there's five million, and they're cheering at the top of the mountain, and then it'll slowly crumble from there.

01:11:05.000 People will leave, and eventually there will be nothing left.

01:11:08.000 Well, I think what we're seeing right now, what we're seeing with the media is kind of what we're seeing with the Democrats.

01:11:12.000 I feel like they're losing control, they're becoming completely irrelevant, and they know it.

01:11:19.000 And it hurts.

01:11:20.000 And it's a little bit like dying from a horrible neurodegenerative disease, because you can feel that something's wrong and you're losing control.

01:11:27.000 And the only way that you can maintain your own little... Because I have actually seen this with sick people who are starting to lose control.

01:11:34.000 Of their bowels?

01:11:36.000 They're starting to lose control of all sorts of things and they take control of other things.

01:11:40.000 They control people.

01:11:42.000 And then they're like, I have no control in any other part of my life, therefore I'm going to hyper focus on the things that I can control.

01:11:49.000 And I see that with the slate guy just lying his way through a tweet thread because they know they're irrelevant and they're gonna throw, you know, spaghetti at the wall until it sticks because they're going out.

01:12:00.000 I think a lot of it, too, is... You know the trope about the bully who, like, picks on kids at school, and the kid, like, goes to his house, and it turns out his dad's beating him?

01:12:09.000 Yeah.

01:12:09.000 That's what it is.

01:12:10.000 These journalists, like, go home to their mom's house, and they're like, their life sucks. 0.99

01:12:14.000 Or they're underpaid, and they're like, my life sucks.

01:12:17.000 Like, I'm imagining this dude from Slate who wrote this tweet thread.

01:12:20.000 He, like, goes down to the bodega, and he's like, can I get the roast beef with American and a kaiser bun?

01:12:26.000 Okay.

01:12:26.000 Oh, okay.

01:12:26.000 And the guy's like, okay, okay.

01:12:27.000 And he walks over and then he hands him a hero roll with turkey and he goes, but I wanted

01:12:32.000 roast beef.

01:12:33.000 You get turkey!

01:12:34.000 Oh, okay.

01:12:35.000 But I ordered roast beef.

01:12:36.000 You get turkey or nothing!

01:12:37.000 Okay. 0.64

01:12:38.000 And then he leaves and he's all miserable. 1.00

01:12:39.000 Pathetic. 1.00

01:12:40.000 And then he goes on Twitter, I hate everyone. 1.00

01:12:42.000 Donald Trump is such a loser. 1.00

01:12:44.000 Just because the bodega guy was mean, man. 1.00

01:12:47.000 Come on.

01:12:47.000 Yeah.

01:12:48.000 It's things like that.

01:12:50.000 They live in New York.

01:12:50.000 Their landlord's mean.

01:12:51.000 Think about why they're all socialists.

01:12:53.000 The landlord knocks on the door on the 4th and he's like, Yo, Jimmy!

01:12:57.000 Rent's due!

01:12:58.000 What's going on?

01:12:59.000 And then he walks out and he's like, Come on, man.

01:13:01.000 I work at Huffington Post.

01:13:02.000 They don't pay me that much money, man.

01:13:03.000 I'm trying as hard as I can.

01:13:04.000 Hey, sell your TV or get out. 1.00

01:13:06.000 And then he goes and he comes back and he's all like, Stupid landlords. 1.00

01:13:09.000 They're so dumb. 1.00

01:13:10.000 They didn't even do anything anyway. 1.00

01:13:11.000 Landlord, he's got a job.

01:13:13.000 Where's that Karl Marx book? 1.00

01:13:15.000 And then he goes on Twitter, Donald Trump is a fascist. 0.97

01:13:18.000 It's the only thing in their life they have control over. 0.96

01:13:20.000 I think you're right.

01:13:21.000 Which brings me to the next little bit of fun we have for tonight.

01:13:26.000 My friends, we are going on a wild ride.

01:13:29.000 I imagine some of you may be fans of like, I don't know, James Bond, right?

01:13:35.000 James Bond movies.

01:13:36.000 Spy thrillers.

01:13:37.000 You know movies I like?

01:13:38.000 The Fast and the Furious movies.

01:13:39.000 Yeah.

01:13:40.000 Hobbs and Shaw.

01:13:41.000 Senseless explosions and like for some reason car thieves are important and the government wants them to like stop terrorism.

01:13:41.000 Yeah.

01:13:48.000 And car chases and whatnot.

01:13:50.000 Yeah, I have no idea why the government came to a car thief from Brooklyn or Miami and asked him to stop a terrorist lady with a helicopter and a submarine, but hey man, sometimes these stories are just fun.

01:14:02.000 But what happens when there's no movie theaters because they're shut down?

01:14:05.000 You get this.

01:14:07.000 Cassandra of Troy, now who is this lady?

01:14:10.000 I don't know, but she wrote, the more I write about this, the more it becomes plain.

01:14:16.000 If Biden loses, 2020 will be the last remotely free and fair election we have for decades, and certainly my lifetime.

01:14:24.000 We are in the middle of an autocratic attempt, and it looks so much like Hungary's. 0.99

01:14:29.000 The courts are being packed with loyalists.

01:14:32.000 Most state legislatures and swing states are gerrymandered beyond belief.

01:14:36.000 The executive branch is gaining unitary power.

01:14:38.000 The Department of Justice is blatantly selectively applying the law to favor the autocrat.

01:14:43.000 IGs are being destroyed.

01:14:45.000 I'm gonna read it.

01:14:45.000 Oh, there's more.

01:14:45.000 How many?

01:14:46.000 Oh my, Lanta.

01:14:47.000 It's ten.

01:14:48.000 Ten of these.

01:14:49.000 Okay.

01:14:49.000 Anyway, to drop the funny accent, the point.

01:14:53.000 This has got 26,000 retweets.

01:14:56.000 Because people need James Bond to be real.

01:14:59.000 They're really bored.

01:14:59.000 They need Trump to walk in the room, holding a cat, stroking it, and Joe Biden to, like, swing down from, like, a cable and go, haha, old chap, time to take you out.

01:15:08.000 And then, you know, Donald Trump is like, get him, kitty, and the cat's made of gold, and the cat turns into a robot.

01:15:14.000 They need something exciting because life is boring.

01:15:17.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:15:17.000 So they write unhinged, paranoid, delusional trash like this. 1.00

01:15:22.000 Let's read on. 1.00

01:15:24.000 She says, AGs are being replaced.

01:15:26.000 Congress is no longer a check on corruption, as the Senate has been captured by Trump loyalists.

01:15:33.000 Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in bad shape.

01:15:35.000 Ditto Breyer.

01:15:36.000 Hybrid regimes, competitive authoritarianism are remarkably stable.

01:15:40.000 This is why 2020 is for all the marbles.

01:15:44.000 This is why I have no use for people who whinge about Biden-Harris not being far enough left for their tastes.

01:15:50.000 They are under the mistaken belief that if Biden loses, they will have another chance to elect people that are far enough left for their liking.

01:15:57.000 The truth is, and here we go, if Biden and Harris lose, there isn't going to be an opportunity to elect someone like they like in their lifetime, not without secession of blue states.

01:16:09.000 That's the only plausible scenario I can come up with after the autocratic breakthrough. 0.53

01:16:15.000 The people who study autocracy are all singing the same tune. 0.93

01:16:18.000 American democracy is not strong enough to survive another four years.

01:16:22.000 It's four years, dude!

01:16:23.000 Come on! 0.61

01:16:25.000 TV shows last longer than that.

01:16:27.000 The guardrails are already almost completely down.

01:16:30.000 This is entirely consistent with how others have fallen in the post-Cold War period.

01:16:35.000 Trump's intentions are clear, so are the GOP's.

01:16:38.000 While Republicans are fear-mongering the hell out of this election, Democrats refuse to call what is happening what it is for fear of sounding alarmist.

01:16:46.000 Maybe this helps their chances of election.

01:16:49.000 But it leaves the vast majority of the American public in the dark as to how incredibly dangerous this moment is.

01:16:55.000 Especially with QAnon, a group that wants enemies thrown in concentration camps, inexorably capturing the Republican Party, even as it becomes autocratic. 0.96

01:17:05.000 Beware, be warned, or don't.

01:17:08.000 Because once this election comes and goes, if Donald J. Trump is still president on January 21st, 2021, we're effed.

01:17:16.000 Democracy in America is not coming back.

01:17:19.000 Dun-dun-dun.

01:17:20.000 Cue the crazy music and the explosions.

01:17:22.000 And you got yourself a kind of thriller, man.

01:17:23.000 This is great.

01:17:24.000 Thrilling.

01:17:25.000 I love it.

01:17:26.000 She finishes with, in most states your vote no longer matters.

01:17:30.000 We are rapidly approaching it at a federal level.

01:17:32.000 You know that you are no longer living in a democracy because the elections in which you are participating no longer can yield political change.

01:17:41.000 And, um, I don't know, where's the... you know those boxes where they pull the lever like the Wile E. Coyote would use and like it would blow up?

01:17:49.000 The detonation box?

01:17:49.000 Yep.

01:17:50.000 Cue that.

01:17:51.000 As soon as she finishes like... No, yeah, I'm thinking she took an entire bottle of painkillers after this. 1.00

01:17:56.000 Dude, I would... Holy cow.

01:17:58.000 I got a really good idea.

01:17:59.000 It would be fun to like make a movie trailer with this.

01:18:01.000 Yes.

01:18:01.000 Just read this and like... you know how they do the movie trailers where the guy sounds like he's been smoking for 40 years?

01:18:06.000 Gosh.

01:18:07.000 The more I write about this, the more it becomes plain.

01:18:11.000 If Biden loses, 2020 will be the last remotely free and fair election we have had for decades.

01:18:17.000 All right, Alex Jones.

01:18:18.000 I know, I was thinking that.

01:18:19.000 Like, I should probably read this in Alex Jones' voice.

01:18:21.000 Yeah.

01:18:21.000 Except even Jones isn't that engaged.

01:18:23.000 They're the same people.

01:18:24.000 Oh my gosh.

01:18:24.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:18:25.000 Alex Jones isn't... I mean, he's screaming about other people, but he's not, like, talking about Trump being a dictator.

01:18:32.000 Oh my gosh.

01:18:33.000 The best part about all of this is that this worldview they've crafted is they're building a tower.

01:18:39.000 Somebody imagine it, right?

01:18:41.000 It's like Rachel Maddow goes on TV and she's like Donald Trump is a Russian. 0.98

01:18:46.000 When that falls apart, what do they do with that mound of trash they've built for three years? 0.99

01:18:51.000 Listen.

01:18:52.000 If you built a nice house, you'd love and you'd respect that house, and you'd say, I like this building. 0.84

01:18:58.000 Now, if you built a big pile of trash to stand on, you might not like it like a house, but you're like, hey man, I built this pile of trash. 0.98

01:19:08.000 This is my garbage. 1.00

01:19:09.000 It's my garbage. 1.00

01:19:09.000 That's right. 1.00

01:19:10.000 Don't touch my garbage. 0.99

01:19:11.000 That possum meme. 1.00

01:19:13.000 Don't touch my garbage! 1.00

01:19:15.000 You know, as much as I'm not really all that interested in the garbage, I can understand why someone, you know, spending three years piling up garbage would be like, I know it's garbage, but I did put a lot into this.

01:19:26.000 It's exactly like a sunken cost fallacy. 0.99

01:19:29.000 They put all their time into this, and gosh darn it, it is the best garbage in the world. 0.98

01:19:33.000 What do we do now? 0.99

01:19:34.000 So here's what ends up happening.

01:19:36.000 I've built, you know, many of us, those of you watching, we've all built nice little houses of like coherent thought.

01:19:42.000 Donald Trump has his issues, but for the most part, you know, he's okay.

01:19:45.000 And he's doing a lot of things that have been traditional in terms of like political parties.

01:19:49.000 Some people have compared him to like Bill Clinton.

01:19:52.000 In the good way, not the bad way, like, you know, just general populist policy and stuff.

01:19:57.000 Although I will say, I think Trump is very, very different from Bill Clinton, but some people have said, like, in terms of where he sits on the political spectrum, it's relatively similar.

01:20:05.000 And the things he says, you know, are very inviting to regular people. 0.99

01:20:09.000 So we've all built these kind of little huts of coherent thought, but the left is sitting on a big pile of stinky garbage. 0.98

01:20:14.000 They refuse to let go because they've put too much into it, and they keep inviting more people to the stinky garbage. 0.95

01:20:20.000 And they're warning—like, so here's what happens. 0.85

01:20:22.000 You're walking down the street, and there's a fork in the road.

01:20:24.000 And there's a bunch of nice little-looking huts. 0.89

01:20:26.000 But there's that big ol' pile of garbage.

01:20:28.000 And there's someone standing at the fork, telling you, go to the garbage pile. 0.99

01:20:31.000 This woman clearly does. 0.79

01:20:33.000 And then she's staring at, like, old, faded cans of, like, Pepsi from the 70s.

01:20:38.000 And she's reading the ingredients.

01:20:39.000 And screaming, did you know what's in this?!

01:20:42.000 And then, like... Actually, I'll do a better example.

01:20:45.000 With this pile of garbage, you'll have, like, someone find an old, you know, I don't know, a piece of, like, a building, and there's asbestos on it.

01:20:54.000 And so they start screaming about the asbestos, but nobody's using it anymore, right?

01:20:59.000 It's been removed.

01:20:59.000 It's gone.

01:21:00.000 You know, there's a lot of problems with it.

01:21:01.000 These people who have built their garbage pile have bad information, things that make no sense.

01:21:06.000 And the narrative of Russia and all this conspiracy stuff about Trump is just not true. 0.92

01:21:11.000 How insane do you have to be to believe that nationally, out of like, how many, how many political offices are there in this country?

01:21:17.000 Like five or 7,000?

01:21:18.000 Oh yeah.

01:21:19.000 Many, many, many.

01:21:20.000 That they're all being secretly taken over and that Trump controls them all.

01:21:24.000 This requires a lot of faith.

01:21:26.000 Yeah.

01:21:26.000 It's nuts.

01:21:28.000 Even as it goes, when it comes to the Democrats and mail-in voting, I don't think they're all sitting there in a cabal.

01:21:34.000 But I'll tell you this, I think it's really funny that she brought up QAnon. 1.00

01:21:37.000 Because Q people, not all of, I don't, I think a lot of people who follow Q don't actually read what it's all about.

01:21:44.000 And so there's a lot of people of a general view of what it means.

01:21:47.000 Like, you know, Epstein and stuff like that.

01:21:49.000 Which, like, we know the Epstein stuff is, like, mostly true because victims have come forward and there's, you know, we'll see what happens with that Maxwell lady. 0.94

01:21:57.000 But, like, Bill Clinton has been flight logs, not to the island, But there's like, there's weird stuff.

01:22:02.000 There's weird stuff around that, right?

01:22:03.000 So it's like, okay, okay. 0.64

01:22:05.000 But some of these people go nuts.

01:22:06.000 Like, conspiracies go way too far.

01:22:09.000 But it's funny that she brings up Q because she's like the other side of that. 1.00

01:22:13.000 You know, Trump-anon or whatever, or Clinton-anon, I don't know, whatever.

01:22:18.000 TDS lady. 0.58

01:22:19.000 So do you think she realizes that she sounds exactly as deranged?

01:22:23.000 Or more so?

01:22:23.000 No.

01:22:24.000 Nope.

01:22:25.000 The reason why she brings up Q is because when she looks across the aisle, that's what she sees.

01:22:30.000 Yeah.

01:22:30.000 Because she's on the same level.

01:22:31.000 She's the inversion of it.

01:22:32.000 Ah, yeah.

01:22:33.000 So, but think about it.

01:22:33.000 Got it.

01:22:34.000 If the Q people think there's, like, a government cabal conspiracy and, like, trafficking and all this stuff, and she's claiming that Trump is an autocrat who's, like, stacking the courts and, like, going, I work for Russia! 0.93

01:22:46.000 It's just as insane. 0.92

01:22:47.000 Yep. 1.00

01:22:48.000 I think Hillary Clinton and her cronyists, like the people around her, they're just crooks. 0.98

01:22:56.000 I think that they've probably been involved in really bad stuff. 0.53

01:22:58.000 I think it's questionable what Bill Clinton was doing with Epstein, and I think there may be something there we'll look into.

01:23:03.000 But I don't think there's like a grand international Illuminati cabal, like, you know, snatching up kids or anything like that.

01:23:08.000 I mean, you know, but at least it's based in reality, I suppose.

01:23:10.000 That would be too easy, too simple, too interesting, too pat.

01:23:14.000 That makes me think it's not real.

01:23:15.000 Well, I think there's something with Epstein and Clinton, for sure.

01:23:17.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:23:18.000 And Prince Andrew.

01:23:20.000 But I think a lot of people probably take that and then immediately assume, like, extreme scenarios.

01:23:24.000 Like everything else is true. 0.71

01:23:25.000 Look, I think, you know, we know that politicians are creepy weirdos who do drugs and probably do illegal things, like, all the time, for sure. 0.96

01:23:25.000 I'll go there. 0.96

01:23:34.000 But to go as insane as this lady, when it's like, listen, I think Hillary Clinton was bad for a lot of reasons. 0.98

01:23:41.000 I think she was very crooked, and I think Joe Biden is crooked.

01:23:44.000 I think Donald Trump has some questionable things you can criticize him for, but for the most part, it's in the same realm of politics in this country.

01:23:50.000 And I think Trump does love this country, and I think he is a populist, though he is himself very elite.

01:23:55.000 I don't think he's all that bad and I think they're extreme in their exaggerations of who he is.

01:24:00.000 And I think a lot of people are extreme in their exaggerations of who Hillary Clinton is.

01:24:03.000 Hillary Clinton is a crooked cronyist who played dirty with cash at her foundation and a bunch of other horrifying things and that's corruption at the highest level. 1.00

01:24:12.000 And that's, I'm like, yeah. 0.99

01:24:13.000 That's a thing.

01:24:14.000 What else is new?

01:24:15.000 Yeah, unfortunately.

01:24:16.000 I don't think she's, like, meeting in the basements with, like, giant owl statues and, like, praying to, like, pentagrams or anything like that.

01:24:21.000 Again, way too interesting.

01:24:23.000 Yeah, right?

01:24:23.000 Reality's very boring.

01:24:25.000 Super often disappointing.

01:24:26.000 I mean, look, you know, that's why I was kind of saying, like, what this lady is saying with this Trump conspiracy, you'd think after all these years they'd let go.

01:24:35.000 It's just not real.

01:24:37.000 Trump is not a secret agent.

01:24:39.000 Trump is not like Kaiser... What was the guy's name?

01:24:45.000 What was the world... Kaiser Wilhelm?

01:24:47.000 Not Wilhelm.

01:24:48.000 I don't know.

01:24:49.000 No, I'm not thinking of Kaiser Wilhelm.

01:24:51.000 I'm thinking of that autocratic German dude. 1.00

01:24:55.000 I can't remember his name.

01:24:56.000 It's on the tip of my tongue.

01:24:57.000 A little more context, I'm sorry.

01:24:58.000 He's one of the guys who said, it is better that ten innocent people suffer than one guilty person escape.

01:25:03.000 What was his name?

01:25:05.000 I don't know.

01:25:06.000 Everyone's gonna, like, know his name now in a second.

01:25:08.000 That was Blackstone.

01:25:09.000 No, no, no, Blackstone.

01:25:10.000 Blackstone was the inverse.

01:25:12.000 He said it's better that ten innocent, uh, ten guilty people escape than one innocent suffer.

01:25:16.000 Right, oh, he said innocent people.

01:25:18.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:25:18.000 Yeah, so this other guy, I can't remember his name. 0.99

01:25:22.000 Not, not, people are saying Kaiserslautern.

01:25:23.000 No, no, no, no.

01:25:24.000 Um, maybe I'm thinking, maybe it wasn't the German guy.

01:25:28.000 Bismarck.

01:25:29.000 Bismarck.

01:25:30.000 There you go.

01:25:31.000 Who is he?

01:25:32.000 Am I mixing him up with somebody else?

01:25:34.000 I think I am.

01:25:35.000 Anyway, the point is... Otto von Bismarck.

01:25:37.000 I will look it up.

01:25:38.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:25:38.000 Where was he?

01:25:39.000 Because he was the authoritarian guy.

01:25:41.000 Yeah, he was a decisive figure in European history.

01:25:43.000 He was taking control over Prussia.

01:25:44.000 Prussia.

01:25:45.000 There we go.

01:25:46.000 See, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

01:25:48.000 But I read something on the internet once.

01:25:52.000 Yes.

01:25:53.000 This is why I'm not going to write an article about Bismarck.

01:25:55.000 I'm going to fact check it first, you know what I mean?

01:25:57.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:25:58.000 And I do this.

01:25:58.000 Whenever I say something I'm not sure, I'll tell people, make sure you fact check it because I heard this.

01:26:01.000 I don't know if it's true, but it's interesting nonetheless. 0.98

01:26:04.000 A lot of people just write garbage. 0.97

01:26:06.000 They think Donald Trump is having secret meetings in bunkers with pulling out maps. 0.99

01:26:12.000 And then as soon as Trump walks downstairs, he pulls off a fake flap of skin and there's a mustache.

01:26:17.000 They think Donald Trump is secretly a dictator trying to take over the world.

01:26:21.000 They've watched too many movies.

01:26:23.000 Yes.

01:26:24.000 Donald Trump is like wearing his personality on his sleeve.

01:26:28.000 They can't accept that.

01:26:29.000 He is a boisterous, egotistical, TV personality, reality TV real estate mogul who loves America, he does international trade deals, and he thought he could do better than everybody else, and he knows people, and he won.

01:26:45.000 Yep.

01:26:45.000 And he made the economy work really, really well, but he didn't really understand how

01:26:49.000 government works because he's not a politician.

01:26:52.000 So he did some things wrong, he hired some bad people, and I think he's starting to figure

01:26:56.000 out and do a better job.

01:26:57.000 He's a smart guy. 1.00

01:26:58.000 I think it's crazy when they call him stupid. 1.00

01:27:01.000 You gotta be arrogant beyond all recognition to assume someone like Donald Trump is stupid. 1.00

01:27:06.000 That is insanely wishful thinking, to think that Donald Trump is stupid. 1.00

01:27:11.000 Impulsive? 1.00

01:27:11.000 Maybe. 1.00

01:27:12.000 Arrogant? 0.64

01:27:12.000 Sure. 0.64

01:27:13.000 I think it's hilarious when they say things like, his unsuccessful business.

01:27:19.000 Whenever I hear my friend say something like that, I'm like, which one?

01:27:21.000 And they're like, the one he declared bankruptcy on.

01:27:23.000 I'm like, okay, first of all, which one?

01:27:25.000 Second of all, he had like 500 plus businesses and declared bankruptcy like a handful of times.

01:27:30.000 And bankruptcy doesn't even mean you failed.

01:27:33.000 It's like debt protection.

01:27:34.000 So like, which one?

01:27:36.000 They don't even know, do they?

01:27:38.000 I once had a bottle of Trump water and a Trump steak.

01:27:40.000 And they were complaining in the media at that time that the companies were defunct.

01:27:43.000 And I'm like, Trump's companies, like Trump Magazine and Trump Water, they service his properties.

01:27:50.000 So they were saying, like, all these things failed, and I'm like, no, he just sells them.

01:27:54.000 He, like, it's a company.

01:27:56.000 He makes it, then he sells it to his own company.

01:27:57.000 Right.

01:27:58.000 But they're too obsessed with their, like, movie reality world.

01:28:04.000 And I have to wonder, there are some people on Twitter who are unhinged.

01:28:07.000 And normally I say that, you know, kind of in an exaggerated tone.

01:28:11.000 No. 0.99

01:28:11.000 Some of these people are literally mentally ill. 0.99

01:28:14.000 Not kidding. 0.97

01:28:15.000 I'm not going to name the specific individuals because I don't want to, you know, I don't want to send people over to these mentally ill profiles. 0.96

01:28:22.000 But there are some Twitter people with hundreds of thousands of followers who are quite literally mentally ill.

01:28:27.000 To be fair, there are a lot of people on Twitter, and statistically speaking, some of them are likely to be mentally ill, and frankly, Twitter kind of caters to the obsessive-compulsive tendencies and makes people stirred up into a frenzy. 0.56

01:28:43.000 Neurodivergent.

01:28:44.000 Yeah.

01:28:45.000 I remember someone recently asked me, what does that mean?

01:28:47.000 What is neurodivergent? 0.99

01:28:49.000 And I'm like, It is the Tumblr way of saying you are mentally ill. 0.99

01:28:53.000 Yes. 0.99

01:28:54.000 Neurodivergent.

01:28:55.000 Yes.

01:28:56.000 It really just means your brain goes in two different directions.

01:28:59.000 Or it goes in the wrong direction.

01:29:00.000 Yep.

01:29:01.000 All of the wrong directions.

01:29:02.000 There are some people who've tweeted, like, really, really crazy things, saying things like, Steve Bannon is gonna be hanged for treason or something.

01:29:10.000 No joke.

01:29:11.000 Interesting.

01:29:11.000 Yeah, I'm not gonna name those people.

01:29:12.000 Again, too many movies.

01:29:13.000 I'm sure everybody knows who I'm talking about right now. 0.96

01:29:15.000 What the heck? 1.00

01:29:15.000 But they're admittedly mentally ill. 1.00

01:29:18.000 What's crazy is Twitter verifies them. 0.98

01:29:20.000 And, listen.

01:29:22.000 What you gotta understand is that if I come to you and say, um, do you want to go to the park?

01:29:27.000 And you go, why, what's happening at the park?

01:29:29.000 I don't know, like, I don't know, someone with like a dog was there.

01:29:32.000 You'll be like, dogs are cool, but that sounds kind of boring.

01:29:35.000 Yeah.

01:29:35.000 What if I walked in and said, dude, we gotta go to the park, why?

01:29:38.000 I, I, there's like clowns and like a giraffe came in and then like some dude was juggling knives and those like flamethrowers.

01:29:43.000 Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?

01:29:44.000 Yeah, flamethrowers, dude, come on!

01:29:46.000 You'd be like, okay, okay, okay, let's go to the park.

01:29:48.000 Right.

01:29:48.000 Then you go and there's nothing there.

01:29:50.000 So what's happening is these people on Twitter, some people will be like, Donald Trump today, you know, said he wants to build houses in low-income areas or whatever.

01:30:01.000 And then you're like, uh-huh, okay, I don't know, whatever, is that news?

01:30:06.000 Nobody clicks it.

01:30:06.000 So what do they have to do?

01:30:11.000 Hitler wants to build homes to force impoverished people into internment. 0.52

01:30:22.000 Oh, oh snap.

01:30:24.000 And then people are like, whoa, and they click it and they go to the article and it's like the housing and development project for the less fortunate.

01:30:29.000 Wait a second, but you already gave them your click.

01:30:32.000 That's the framing thing they do.

01:30:34.000 And then women like this, the Cassandra lady who's like, Donald Trump is an autocrat trying to take over and we'll never have an election again. 1.00

01:30:40.000 It's like, whoa, lady, calm down.

01:30:43.000 I would make a joke about taking some kind of medication, but this is a show with a lot of people and I might get in trouble for doing so, but in a normal private setting, I'd make a ton of jokes about medication.

01:30:53.000 I probably already made too many jokes.

01:30:55.000 Yeah.

01:30:55.000 Sounds like she's about to go over the edge, poor lady.

01:30:57.000 Here's the funniest thing about it.

01:30:59.000 Check out this story from The Daily Caller.

01:31:01.000 Judge orders in Iowa County to invalidate 50,000 absentee ballot requests.

01:31:07.000 Oh.

01:31:09.000 Huh.

01:31:10.000 How about that?

01:31:10.000 I just read this and I'm like, it's the exact opposite of everything they're claiming about Trump.

01:31:15.000 I thought this was all without evidence, Timothy.

01:31:18.000 Why are they invalidating 50,000 absentee ballot requests?

01:31:21.000 Let's find out.

01:31:22.000 Linn County Auditor Joel Miller issued 140,000 absentee ballots in July that were already pre-filled with voters' personal information, such as their date of birth and, most importantly, voter identification numbers.

01:31:33.000 According to the AP, Miller said he wanted to make it easy for voters to vote absentee during the pandemic, per the same report.

01:31:39.000 However, Judge Ian Thornhill ruled that Miller's mailing of the ballots violated a clear directive from Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate.

01:31:46.000 who said absentee ballots forms must be blank when sent to voters according to the AP.

01:31:51.000 Thornhill has ordered Miller to notify voters who received pre-filled out ballot.

01:31:55.000 Their ballot cannot be processed. Instead, they can either vote in person on election day or

01:31:58.000 request new absentee ballots. Miller has agreed to send out the new blank forms.

01:32:02.000 So it's actually not what we thought it was, but it's still kind of fraud.

01:32:06.000 Yeah.

01:32:06.000 The initial fraud, it seemed like, or, you know, impropriety was that people were sending in their requests and getting, you know, getting nuked.

01:32:13.000 Right.

01:32:14.000 As it turns out, somebody was trying to send out pre-filled forms to people.

01:32:18.000 So that seems shady.

01:32:19.000 Does it seem shady to you?

01:32:20.000 Because it seems like if he was doing that in good faith, I understand wanting to make voting as easy as possible.

01:32:27.000 No way.

01:32:27.000 You don't think he was acting in good faith?

01:32:29.000 I don't.

01:32:30.000 Okay.

01:32:30.000 Because what, so listen, sitting right in front of me, I love pointing to this thing, is a mail-in ballot, not an application, literal ballot that came to my house for someone who does not live here.

01:32:43.000 What if they filled out that person's personal information, including voter ID number?

01:32:47.000 We have all their information now? 0.95

01:32:48.000 And what would happen if some hokey old dumb lady, you know, she goes to her mailbox, she's like, what's this? 1.00

01:32:55.000 For who? 0.99

01:32:55.000 I can't read it. 0.99

01:32:56.000 And she opens it, wrongly, and then she's looking through it and she's like, who's Jimmy?

01:33:01.000 What's this social security number and bank account information?

01:33:05.000 Let me just punch this into Amazon and I'm gonna order some books.

01:33:09.000 I'm kidding.

01:33:10.000 But if they sent out all that pre-filled in information, That's true.

01:33:14.000 That's, that's a big breach.

01:33:15.000 There's a lot of people probably get mail and just tear it all up without looking at it.

01:33:18.000 You know, they're like going through bills.

01:33:19.000 They got a stack and they're stripping things open.

01:33:21.000 Especially if it's like a married couple and they're like, the mail is just to them. 0.65

01:33:24.000 The kids are moved out.

01:33:25.000 Yeah.

01:33:26.000 They're going to get someone's mail.

01:33:26.000 They're going to open and be like, John Smith, voter ID number.

01:33:30.000 Whoa.

01:33:30.000 What, what is this?

01:33:31.000 Now they're going to have their private information.

01:33:34.000 Yep.

01:33:35.000 So, presumably, you know, we get this ballot sent here because this person used to live here.

01:33:41.000 That would be the same thing that would happen to them, but they would get access to other information.

01:33:44.000 They'd have their name and their voter ID number.

01:33:46.000 I don't know what else would be included in it.

01:33:48.000 Party affiliation, maybe, or something?

01:33:50.000 I don't know.

01:33:50.000 I don't think so.

01:33:51.000 Well, that's dirty.

01:33:52.000 So here's why I bring this one up, because they like to play this game where they're accusing Donald Trump of being the fraudster who's trying to take over the world, or whatever.

01:34:01.000 And the problems are coming from their demands.

01:34:04.000 It's been this way the entire time.

01:34:06.000 You know, Donald Trump has made his mistakes in fighting him, but he's won.

01:34:10.000 I think about like, Russiagate really is crazy.

01:34:12.000 The Obamagate stuff, the Russiagate stuff.

01:34:14.000 So basically, they were accusing Trump of working for the Russians.

01:34:17.000 They wouldn't stop.

01:34:18.000 And then Trump made the mistake of saying, can you make it go away?

01:34:22.000 And then firing Comey. 1.00

01:34:23.000 Can you blame him for wanting it to go away?

01:34:25.000 And he's allowed to fire Comey. 0.61

01:34:27.000 And then they went nuts.

01:34:29.000 And they were like, screeching. 0.87

01:34:31.000 And they won't stop.

01:34:33.000 But you know what?

01:34:35.000 Based on what we were talking about earlier, you know what I think it is?

01:34:37.000 Our sphere of influence on the internet is growing.

01:34:41.000 And the establishment sphere of influence is shrinking.

01:34:44.000 And they're crying and panicking about it.

01:34:46.000 And there's nothing they can do.

01:34:48.000 But I tell you, as they drown, they will violently thrash about.

01:34:51.000 I'm seeing it.

01:34:52.000 And they got, you know, Kitty's got claws, man. 0.98

01:34:54.000 Yeah.

01:34:55.000 So if you, I'll tell you this, when you see someone drowning, Don't.

01:34:58.000 You have to be very careful about how you approach them.

01:35:00.000 Because they will pull you down, too.

01:35:02.000 Yep.

01:35:02.000 I'm not an expert, but you go around behind them.

01:35:05.000 Yeah, I think you come up behind them and grab them.

01:35:07.000 Yeah, and then swim backwards. 0.69

01:35:08.000 But if you go up to them and they grab you, they'll just pull you down and you'll both drown.

01:35:11.000 Yeah, because they're freaking out.

01:35:12.000 That's what the mainstream media is doing right now.

01:35:15.000 And that's why all these personalities on Twitter are going like, Trump's a dictator!

01:35:18.000 And they go home, and they're shaking as they pour wine, and they're like... So much wine.

01:35:22.000 I'm imagining, like, when I do that wine shaking, I'm imagining it's Alyssa Milano.

01:35:26.000 She's like, Orange man! 0.99

01:35:27.000 He's orange!

01:35:29.000 And the orange thing is a real... No, you're laughing, but she actually tweeted... No, I know.

01:35:32.000 She actually said it.

01:35:33.000 I know.

01:35:33.000 He's not sorry that he's orange or whatever.

01:35:36.000 He's not sorry that he's orange.

01:35:39.000 The funny thing, she tweeted out this big long unhinged thread where she's like, Joe Rogan has three times the viewers that I do!

01:35:46.000 And I'm like, do you mean like three orders of magnitude?

01:35:50.000 Yes, that's what she meant.

01:35:51.000 Three times?

01:35:52.000 No.

01:35:52.000 I think we have three times listeners, she does.

01:35:55.000 No, we have more than that.

01:35:56.000 Oh my goodness.

01:35:57.000 We have way more than that.

01:35:57.000 Dude, she doesn't even chart.

01:36:00.000 She's not even on any charts.

01:36:01.000 She probably gets like a hundred downloads.

01:36:04.000 I'm not even kidding.

01:36:05.000 Like, I don't think... Well, no, that's not fair.

01:36:07.000 She does have a few thousand reviews, so, you know, maybe she's getting, I don't know, a few thousand maybe.

01:36:12.000 But anyway, one of her tweets was, like in all caps, he's orange and it's part of his strategy to be orange and they don't care.

01:36:19.000 And I'm like, what?

01:36:21.000 I don't care!

01:36:23.000 It's part of the brand, it's the orange, come on.

01:36:25.000 He's not, like, he, okay.

01:36:27.000 You've seen how they try to make him look more orange, right?

01:36:29.000 Oh yeah.

01:36:30.000 It's the, like, there was one that was really funny where he was literally glowing.

01:36:33.000 And I'm like, dude, okay, you guys definitely overdid this because the dude's not radioactive.

01:36:38.000 Was that the one where he was walking towards the plane and his hair was blowing back?

01:36:42.000 No, but that one was bad, like, what?

01:36:43.000 That was crazy, too.

01:36:45.000 They shopped it. 0.98

01:36:46.000 Yeah, they made him look like a clown. 0.91

01:36:47.000 Yeah!

01:36:48.000 So weird.

01:36:49.000 They, like, desaturated around him.

01:36:51.000 Yeah.

01:36:51.000 No, it was one where, I think it was CNN or something, and he was literally glowing because they upped the saturation too much.

01:36:57.000 I gotta find it now.

01:36:59.000 And I'm just like, I'm pretty sure Donald Trump's skin isn't radioactive.

01:37:04.000 Because, like, I don't know what generates an orange glow, but I'm assuming it's some kind of quantum function pertaining to radioactivity.

01:37:13.000 No one should be glowing.

01:37:14.000 No.

01:37:15.000 But that's the media, man.

01:37:18.000 It's funny when you look at, like, CNN's personalities, like Oliver Darcy and Brian Stelter.

01:37:26.000 Oh, man.

01:37:27.000 What did Darcy tweet today?

01:37:29.000 That, like, the right-wing media and Kyle Rittenhouse is a proof of radicalization.

01:37:34.000 And I'm like, but three months of mass rioting and 30 people dead, that's not radicalization.

01:37:39.000 Yeah, that wouldn't radicalize anyone.

01:37:40.000 No, but think about it.

01:37:41.000 It's like, three months, nonstop riots, 30 people dead, crickets. 0.94

01:37:48.000 One guy shows up after three months, two people die, and they're screwed. 0.77

01:37:52.000 Screaming at the top of their lungs. 0.97

01:37:54.000 Fire on fire.

01:37:55.000 Yeah.

01:37:55.000 Well, my favorite was from Brian Stelter because he was railing about how much I think it was Tucker Carlson makes.

01:38:02.000 So you want to know what I did?

01:38:04.000 I did a little Google search.

01:38:06.000 How much does Brian Stelter make?

01:38:08.000 You know how much Brian Stelter makes?

01:38:10.000 I do.

01:38:10.000 Tell me.

01:38:10.000 Exactly how much he was accusing Tucker Carlson.

01:38:14.000 No way.

01:38:14.000 Yeah.

01:38:15.000 Brian Stelter.

01:38:15.000 How much is that?

01:38:16.000 So he was accusing Tucker Carlson.

01:38:18.000 I think it was Tucker Carlson.

01:38:19.000 He was saying he makes $10 million a year.

01:38:22.000 I was like, okay, that seems low, first of all.

01:38:24.000 Let's see how much Brian Stelter makes.

01:38:26.000 So Brian Stelter makes $10 million a year.

01:38:30.000 No way.

01:38:30.000 I don't buy that.

01:38:31.000 I don't believe it.

01:38:32.000 I looked it up.

01:38:33.000 No way.

01:38:33.000 Brian Stelter on CNN's lowest rated show versus the highest rated cable TV news show in history?

01:38:41.000 Let me see.

01:38:42.000 It's possible.

01:38:42.000 I'll tell you what.

01:38:43.000 Tucker Carlson signed a contract and he probably got a lower number because it was a new show.

01:38:47.000 Yeah.

01:38:47.000 I'll tell you this.

01:38:48.000 When Tucker renegotiates, he's going to be the highest paid man in television.

01:38:51.000 Here's an article from CNN.

01:38:53.000 As Tucker Carlson justifies violence, Fox News is paying him $10 million a year.

01:38:58.000 Wow.

01:38:59.000 Yeah.

01:39:00.000 But is Brian Stelter really getting $10 million a year?

01:39:02.000 I don't buy it, man.

01:39:03.000 I found it.

01:39:04.000 Google said it.

01:39:04.000 It's on the internet.

01:39:05.000 It's true.

01:39:07.000 Maybe, maybe.

01:39:08.000 I mean, but, you know, CNN's been downsizing.

01:39:11.000 Yeah.

01:39:11.000 That's a lot of money for a Sunday morning show on the news.

01:39:15.000 Yeah, his show is about the news.

01:39:18.000 Yeah.

01:39:18.000 And it's funny because he only ever has on, like, people in his bubble who say the exact same things to each other.

01:39:23.000 It's like literally listening to echoes.

01:39:25.000 It's like listening to Pokemon.

01:39:27.000 Yeah.

01:39:27.000 So it's like if you took like a bunch of Pokemon and all they do is sit in a room and saying their names over and over again, like there's no meaningful conversation.

01:39:33.000 I guess if you're a Pokemon and you like hearing someone say Pikachu 7,000 times.

01:39:38.000 That sounds like fun.

01:39:39.000 But it's really funny when you compare like the style of a lot of these shows on like MSNBC or CNN versus any podcast.

01:39:49.000 And I mean even small podcasts, where they'll have, like, I don't care, you could take a random, two random people, and have them talk, random off the street.

01:39:59.000 You know what's a good idea for men in the street? 1.00

01:40:00.000 Take a random guy, and another random guy, and then have them talk about politics.

01:40:04.000 Yeah, that would be fun.

01:40:05.000 That would be way more interesting and informative than anything those people are doing on Sunday morning, you know, CNN show.

01:40:12.000 True. 0.96

01:40:12.000 They're like, did you see that Donald Trump is a fascist? 0.96

01:40:15.000 I did. 0.94

01:40:16.000 And the right-wing media is lying.

01:40:18.000 I know, the right-wing media.

01:40:19.000 Did you see Fox News, what they said?

01:40:21.000 Fox News did say things.

01:40:23.000 The dude, Brian Stelter, wrote a book about Fox News.

01:40:27.000 Wow!

01:40:28.000 You know what I think?

01:40:29.000 That's his world.

01:40:30.000 I think Brian Stelter wishes he worked for Fox News.

01:40:33.000 It makes him really sad.

01:40:34.000 It reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where Homer tries to join the club, but they call it the No Homers Club.

01:40:40.000 Oh no!

01:40:41.000 And then he's like, but you let in the other Homer!

01:40:43.000 And they're like, it's the No Homers! 0.98

01:40:45.000 We're allowed to have one!

01:40:47.000 So it's like, then he joins the Freemasons. 1.00

01:40:48.000 So it's like Brian Stelter sitting outside of Fox News going like, Fox News is so dumb! 0.99

01:40:52.000 They didn't even do anything! 0.92

01:40:54.000 And he's like looking at Fox News in like a tear roll, it's not his cheat.

01:40:58.000 He's like, I want to go inside Fox News.

01:41:00.000 He never quite cut it.

01:41:02.000 No, I don't think the guy ever really wanted to work for Fox News.

01:41:04.000 I think he was a media reporter for New York Times.

01:41:07.000 I guess he interviewed me back in the day.

01:41:09.000 Really?

01:41:09.000 Yeah, for the New York Times.

01:41:11.000 You guys are the same age.

01:41:13.000 Yeah.

01:41:13.000 So weird.

01:41:14.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:41:15.000 He seems like a grandma.

01:41:17.000 You seem like a skater dude.

01:41:18.000 I know.

01:41:18.000 You're totally...

01:41:20.000 I gotta say, it may have something to do with the fact that I exercise every day.

01:41:24.000 Yeah.

01:41:26.000 And I'm going to go ahead and assume he doesn't.

01:41:28.000 Yep, that seems safe.

01:41:29.000 He should.

01:41:29.000 Yep, everybody should.

01:41:30.000 Absolutely, everybody should.

01:41:31.000 Yeah.

01:41:33.000 I don't mean that as a dig.

01:41:33.000 I mean that as, you know, staying fit makes you look younger.

01:41:37.000 Yeah.

01:41:38.000 I mean, not only that, but like, I dress like some rando.

01:41:42.000 You do dress younger.

01:41:43.000 I don't wear a suit or anything.

01:41:44.000 If I wore a suit, people would be like, who's that strange man?

01:41:48.000 No, my real criticism is about the fact that they've made a whole show based on just Fox News.

01:41:52.000 And it's like, listen, I understand I have my biases.

01:41:55.000 I rag on CNN too.

01:41:56.000 But I rag on MSNBC and ABC and the New York Times and the Washington Post and the Democrats.

01:42:00.000 All of them.

01:42:01.000 And if you want to rag on the Republicans, I totally get it.

01:42:03.000 I'm down.

01:42:04.000 Like, I think, you know, I have my criticisms of some of the progressive and left-wing pundits on YouTube for sure, but I respect what they do.

01:42:11.000 They don't like Republicans?

01:42:12.000 I get it.

01:42:13.000 I don't like them either, but my focus lies elsewhere.

01:42:15.000 Yeah.

01:42:17.000 I don't think the biggest threat to our nation is Donald Trump.

01:42:20.000 And there are pundits on YouTube who don't think the world is ending either.

01:42:25.000 I mean, I think we're facing dire straits, don't get me wrong.

01:42:27.000 I don't think the world is gonna explode and Donald Trump is literally Hitler.

01:42:30.000 But I think we're gonna face, like, real street violence and chaos and stuff like that.

01:42:33.000 But there are other left-wing pundits who will just be like, Trump is bad.

01:42:36.000 We should vote for somebody else because policy reasons.

01:42:39.000 But you turn on MSNBC and Rachel Maddow's like, Russia is gonna turn off our electricity!

01:42:45.000 And I'm like, wow, Rachel, that was so deep up your... That's a way out there.

01:42:50.000 Up your hat.

01:42:51.000 Yes.

01:42:51.000 You had to pull, reach into that magic hat and pull it out and... Oh, that magic hat.

01:42:56.000 Pulling random stuff out.

01:42:58.000 I remember when Donald Trump said that she had blood coming out of her eyes and ears or her whatever, and they turned it into like, you remember that?

01:43:03.000 Yeah.

01:43:04.000 And I'm like, dude, he didn't say it.

01:43:06.000 He stopped himself.

01:43:07.000 And you don't know what he was going to say out of her eyes and her ears, out of her whatever.

01:43:11.000 And they turned it into a sexual thing. 1.00

01:43:14.000 Yeah, that's so dumb. 1.00

01:43:16.000 It's all so tiresome. 0.99

01:43:18.000 Well, I'm tired.

01:43:18.000 Let's do Super Chats.

01:44:01.000 But thank you.

01:44:01.000 I do appreciate it.

01:44:02.000 Thanks.

01:44:03.000 Will Smith said, John 14, 6 through 7.

01:44:05.000 Ooh, do you know this one?

01:44:07.000 I do not, right offhand.

01:44:08.000 Let me look it up.

01:44:09.000 He says, Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life.

01:44:12.000 No one comes to the father except through me.

01:44:15.000 If you had known me, you would have known my father also.

01:44:18.000 From now on, you do know him and have seen him.

01:44:20.000 Appreciate it.

01:44:21.000 Maximum K says, hey Tim and Lydia, happy Friday for you two.

01:44:24.000 I recently saw an article that my county, Orange County CA, just took the county off of the COVID watch list.

01:44:30.000 There was an article by the OC Register.

01:44:31.000 P.S.

01:44:32.000 I would love to see Colean Noir on the show.

01:44:35.000 And I believe we are... We are going to get him on in the future.

01:44:38.000 Yes.

01:44:39.000 I believe it.

01:44:39.000 Yeah, so we're doing bookings.

01:44:41.000 There's a lot of people who are like, I can come immediately, and a lot of people who are like, I am free in the next, you know, three or four weeks.

01:44:46.000 Yeah.

01:44:47.000 We'll make it happen.

01:44:48.000 LoneWolf36 says, One to say, I am so proud to be a watcher of your show.

01:44:53.000 You are doing an incredible service for this country, and you will only grow bigger.

01:44:57.000 I look forward to it.

01:44:59.000 Thanks, man.

01:44:59.000 I gotta stress to everybody, you gotta understand, like, I just broke a million subs.

01:45:04.000 And a lot of people probably would assume that just getting over a million subscribers, I'm not getting nearly as many views as many other personalities.

01:45:12.000 I'm getting close to like 90 million per month.

01:45:15.000 90 million!

01:45:16.000 I believe that may be like the biggest.

01:45:18.000 It's like double the Young Turks. 0.97

01:45:20.000 That's bigger than the Daily Wire.

01:45:21.000 And apparently more than these other networks.

01:45:24.000 Yeah.

01:45:24.000 Which is impressive.

01:45:25.000 So that's all you guys.

01:45:26.000 You guys rock.

01:45:27.000 Appreciate it.

01:45:27.000 Thanks guys.

01:45:28.000 Alright, let's see where we are at here.

01:45:30.000 We got a super chat right here.

01:45:32.000 TheGamingGinger says, what's with this new Biden ad talking about how Trump's abandoning the U.S.?

01:45:38.000 I love how the comments are turned off, because it's unhinged.

01:45:41.000 Donald Trump is like, if anything, you know, you know, if you were to tell me that Donald Trump was abandoning the U.S., I'm going to side-eye you and be like, get out of here.

01:45:50.000 If you told me that Donald Trump was standing outside of America's window holding a boombox over his head playing a love song, I'd be like, sounds like Trump.

01:45:56.000 That sounds like Trump.

01:45:57.000 A little unnecessary, but.

01:45:59.000 Yeah, and he's like throwing rocks at the window.

01:46:01.000 And you're like, Trump, stop, I'm trying to sleep.

01:46:03.000 Seriously.

01:46:05.000 Francisco Rodriguez says, I've been watching your content for over a year.

01:46:07.000 I love your content and objectivity.

01:46:09.000 Keep it up.

01:46:10.000 Do you think school choice will affect gerrymandering since property taxes may need to spread across multiple districts to fund successful schools?

01:46:17.000 That's really interesting.

01:46:18.000 That is an interesting question.

01:46:19.000 I don't know.

01:46:20.000 Probably so.

01:46:21.000 That's a question for Corey DeAngelis.

01:46:23.000 Yeah.

01:46:24.000 So fire that hand. 0.83

01:46:24.000 choice guy on twitter yeah he knows way better i see someone said i should talk with adam carolla 0.83

01:46:30.000 and if i'm adam school in a fan of him for a for a really long time

01:46:33.000 but i i don't really follow him for the most part suvain are carlson says was trump born in orange county

01:46:39.000 I don't think so.

01:46:40.000 He was born in... Is it because he's orange?

01:46:45.000 It's a joke!

01:46:48.000 I love that Alyssa Milano tweet where she was really triggered.

01:46:51.000 She was like, he's orange and it's part of his strategy and they don't care.

01:46:55.000 Yeah.

01:46:55.000 I don't... am I supposed to care?

01:46:58.000 Put down the wine.

01:46:59.000 I just felt bad for her.

01:47:00.000 I was like, wow.

01:47:01.000 You ever see the episode of Rick and Morty where Beth shoots Mr. Poopybutthole

01:47:04.000 and then she goes in the kitchen and she grabs the wine glass and the wine

01:47:07.000 and she's shaking and crying as she pours it.

01:47:09.000 I imagine that's how many of these TDS wine moms are like when they see Trump tweet. 1.00

01:47:13.000 They're like, ahhhhhh.

01:47:14.000 And they're like shaking.

01:47:15.000 And I'm like, calm down.

01:47:16.000 Why would you let someone do that to you?

01:47:18.000 I don't know.

01:47:19.000 Freaks me out.

01:47:20.000 Maybe because life is boring.

01:47:22.000 Yep.

01:47:23.000 I think so.

01:47:23.000 Gotta find a hobby, man.

01:47:25.000 Yep.

01:47:25.000 You gotta take up crocheting.

01:47:27.000 Yeah.

01:47:27.000 Keep your hands busy.

01:47:28.000 Osirio says, Hey Tim, Steph, and Chat.

01:47:30.000 First Super Chat.

01:47:31.000 Been watching since Crowder bought Tim the firearm.

01:47:34.000 I encourage everyone to look up the Yuri Besmanov about Subversion.

01:47:37.000 It's dangerous, and I think it's telling.

01:47:39.000 And we get a lot of Super Chats recommending it, and it is a good recommendation.

01:47:42.000 And an update on that weapon.

01:47:45.000 There is a shop fairly far away who has it, and we're getting ready to move.

01:47:50.000 We're building a new studio.

01:47:51.000 It's happening.

01:47:52.000 But it might take a month or so, so I'm talking to a company.

01:47:55.000 We're gonna have a real studio.

01:47:55.000 Right now, you know what we have?

01:47:56.000 We have cameras on tripods, and like, you know.

01:47:59.000 We have the corner of a room.

01:48:00.000 We have the corner of a room, and like stuff we bought from Best Buy.

01:48:03.000 But it's very... That's pretty good.

01:48:05.000 Yeah.

01:48:06.000 Except my camera.

01:48:07.000 Yes, that keeps turning her into a tomato. 1.00

01:48:10.000 But we're actually getting legit cameras, and a full studio set up, soundboard, like actual equipment.

01:48:15.000 Here's the craziest thing.

01:48:16.000 Because we're in the middle of nowhere, we actually have to hire one of these companies to lay ground line.

01:48:22.000 I roll because that takes so long but we're gonna be in the boonies and we're gonna have a bunch of like I think I think I'm gonna hire people to literally just be barefoot and wear overalls with like red flannel.

01:48:32.000 That's me.

01:48:32.000 That's my job.

01:48:33.000 And have a straw like a sheath like a straw in their mouth. 0.50

01:48:36.000 That's a rocking chair.

01:48:37.000 Yeah.

01:48:38.000 With like a shotgun.

01:48:39.000 And then when people walk up and they're like hi I'm looking for the local town.

01:48:43.000 Yeah it's back the way it came.

01:48:44.000 Is it a family guy joke?

01:48:45.000 I know I'm stealing a family guy joke.

01:48:47.000 Worth it.

01:48:48.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:48:49.000 Colin P. says, things I did not expect in 2020.

01:48:51.000 Elon Musk wrangling, beeping cyborg pigs.

01:48:54.000 What?

01:48:55.000 What?

01:48:55.000 I'm not feeling done up.

01:48:56.000 I don't know what that is.

01:48:58.000 Sounds amazing.

01:48:59.000 Bom Chu says, I just canceled my Audible account because the three categories in the homepage were racial poetry, racial justice, and the best one, how to raise an anti-racist.

01:49:08.000 You see, one of the reasons I am going to be voting for Donald Trump is specifically because this guy, what's his name, Ibrahim Kendi?

01:49:13.000 Yep.

01:49:14.000 He straight up says in his book, the only way to stop discrimination is more racial discrimination.

01:49:22.000 And that's number one in human rights on Amazon.

01:49:24.000 And it's number 13 overall.

01:49:27.000 White fragility and this are overt racist ideologies. 0.63

01:49:32.000 And they're encouraging our society to do the same.

01:49:34.000 I'm not a fan.

01:49:35.000 It's like encouraging alcoholics to drink more.

01:49:38.000 I will take the orange man over the people who want me to hate people based on the color of their skin.

01:49:44.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:49:44.000 That's fair.

01:49:46.000 Yeah.

01:49:47.000 Daniel Ashley says that the Titanic launch was a mostly dry journey for the survivors.

01:49:52.000 Correct.

01:49:52.000 No, I love the tweet.

01:49:53.000 It was a Titanic journey, Titanic first voyage mostly successful.

01:49:58.000 Yes.

01:49:59.000 Indeed it was.

01:49:59.000 Indeed.

01:50:00.000 You know, it's really crazy if you think about it though.

01:50:02.000 The people of the Titanic had a really, really good time.

01:50:05.000 Probably the best times of their lives until, you know, I'm not saying that to be, like, silly or to be dark.

01:50:12.000 I'm like, no, think about it.

01:50:13.000 Like, you could be on a plane, smiling as you're going for your first trip to Japan or whatever, and then all of a sudden the plane blows up.

01:50:19.000 That would make it, by necessity, the finest time of your life.

01:50:23.000 Because it is the final event of your life, I think.

01:50:26.000 Yeah.

01:50:26.000 Yeah, that's fair, though.

01:50:27.000 I wonder, is it better to go that way?

01:50:29.000 Or to be, like, sad and suffering?

01:50:31.000 No, I think so.

01:50:31.000 I think that was a good way to go.

01:50:33.000 There you go.

01:50:34.000 I wouldn't complain about that. 0.97

01:50:35.000 Commander232 says, well Tim, just so you know, these BLM quote, protesters, now plan to try and start crap here in Fargo, North Dakota.

01:50:43.000 And what has me most worried is, if you thought Kenosha with Kyle was bad, us here won't play any games from the start.

01:50:51.000 I mean, it's been said, man.

01:50:54.000 These people are going to show up to some town, and there's going to be a bunch of dudes with guns, and they're not going to say it's back the way it came.

01:51:02.000 They're going to be like, ooh, look, here they come!

01:51:04.000 This is your final destination.

01:51:06.000 Or depending on which kind of gun they have.

01:51:10.000 That's right.

01:51:11.000 Considering that all the ammo is sold out.

01:51:13.000 Yeah.

01:51:15.000 Garfunkel, Kat, and the Parliament Funkadelic says, Tim, as a former political activist in Minnesota, the Iron Range was legendary in Minnesota politics as being unbreakably and generationally DFL.

01:51:25.000 This is a port end of a huge political upheaval.

01:51:28.000 This is what's really interesting.

01:51:30.000 The first thing we talked about was the Iron Range in Minnesota.

01:51:35.000 It's the largest Democrat stronghold in Minnesota.

01:51:38.000 But it's Democratic farmer labor.

01:51:40.000 That's not even the Democratic Party.

01:51:42.000 It's like strongly this very specific party that is a part of the Democratic Party.

01:51:48.000 Yeah, it's something a little different and I had never heard of it before like a couple weeks ago because there was that guy, remember that guy who was on a residential street screaming at people?

01:51:56.000 No.

01:51:57.000 He was a black guy, he was yelling at a white family, they were having a cookout in front of their garage.

01:52:01.000 I don't remember that.

01:52:02.000 He was a member of the DFL and I was like, what the heck is a DFL?

01:52:04.000 Really?

01:52:04.000 Yeah.

01:52:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:52:06.000 And he ended up apologizing and everything was fine but I was like, wow, I'd never heard of that party before.

01:52:11.000 Turns out they are not, uh, insubstantial.

01:52:14.000 Who knew?

01:52:15.000 Scott Young says, I was staying at a hotel in VA last night and the RNC on PBS was blacked out in my area.

01:52:20.000 What?

01:52:21.000 That's weird.

01:52:23.000 Justin Four says, Coroner's report shows five gunshot wounds to the first Kenosha attacker.

01:52:27.000 Three shots were superficial.

01:52:29.000 One was possibly lethal.

01:52:30.000 The shot, which pierced both lung and liver, came from behind the attacker and hit him in the back.

01:52:36.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:52:37.000 Whoa.

01:52:39.000 That's interesting stuff.

01:52:40.000 Well, I'll be looking into that definitely for tomorrow.

01:52:44.000 Christopher Weibel, massive super chat.

01:52:47.000 Seriously, thank you so much.

01:52:48.000 That's big.

01:52:49.000 John Xiao says, or is it pronounced scow?

01:52:52.000 I did the impossible.

01:52:53.000 I am done with the NBA. 0.97

01:52:55.000 That has been my number one go-to for anti-stress, but after all the crap they've pulled, I am done. 0.58

01:53:00.000 I'm sorry to hear it, man. 0.93

01:53:02.000 I feel for you, man.

01:53:02.000 You know what's really crazy?

01:53:04.000 I follow a bunch of pro skateboarders.

01:53:07.000 Some of them are woke.

01:53:08.000 Some of them are not woke.

01:53:10.000 Some of them are straight up queuing on.

01:53:12.000 And I'm like, whoa!

01:53:13.000 Quite the spectrum there.

01:53:14.000 Yeah, but I saw somebody, this amateur skater posted a bunch of Instagram stories about Bill Clinton.

01:53:23.000 I wouldn't call it all the way into the Q territory stuff, but it was talking about Epstein.

01:53:27.000 And they were like, I'm done with this.

01:53:29.000 Wow.

01:53:30.000 A lot of people I hear that are supporting Trump are doing it.

01:53:32.000 So there's somebody I know from the Midwest.

01:53:35.000 And they were very like green party, third party type, you know, not really super interested in the two party system and very activist-y.

01:53:43.000 Now they're posting a ton of stuff about supporting Trump specifically because they've seen him targeting human trafficking and it's one of his agenda items for a second term.

01:53:51.000 Yeah, and you know what?

01:53:52.000 They just found 39 kids who had been missing, some for as long as two years, some as young as three years old.

01:53:58.000 They found 39 kids.

01:53:59.000 It should have been front page news everywhere.

01:54:02.000 It's crazy that the media is trying to claim that Trump trying to stop traffickers is him, you know, dog whistling to QAnon.

01:54:08.000 And I'm like, what?

01:54:10.000 He's trying to save kids!

01:54:10.000 Are you joking?

01:54:13.000 They're posting the tweets and they're like, clearly he's trying to wink wink at the Q people. 0.98

01:54:17.000 It's like, no, it's the other way around actually.

01:54:20.000 Trump has been steadfast on ending human trafficking and that attracted the Q people. 1.00

01:54:24.000 Right.

01:54:24.000 People who really care about them.

01:54:26.000 Oh man, it's just, you know.

01:54:27.000 That makes me mad.

01:54:29.000 Jack Daw says, you should get a hold of a prominent YouTuber, Louis Rossman.

01:54:33.000 He lives and runs a business in Manhattan.

01:54:35.000 He's been putting up a lot of videos about the firsthand experience of the violence in the streets and destruction of the economy around him.

01:54:40.000 Interesting.

01:54:41.000 Yeah, I'm voting for Trump, though.

01:54:54.000 Look, the big issue to me for the most part with this election is that the Democrats have been overrun or adopted far-left identitarianism.

01:55:03.000 And I know exactly what that means.

01:55:06.000 Not gonna happen on my watch.

01:55:07.000 I mean, I'll do my best, but, you know.

01:55:10.000 MG says, I'm not voting racist blue, I'm not voting do-nothing red, I'm voting get the job done, make America great, Trump gold.

01:55:17.000 That's it.

01:55:18.000 Trump is not a Republican.

01:55:20.000 He was an insurgent, just like Bernie Sanders.

01:55:23.000 Sanders knew his only path to winning was to go through the Democratic Party.

01:55:26.000 Trump knew his only path to winning was to go through the Republican Party.

01:55:29.000 I think the reason Donald Trump didn't run as a Democrat is because Democrats wouldn't elect a billionaire.

01:55:33.000 Republicans wouldn't, in terms of nominating.

01:55:36.000 But Donald Trump was a moderate, and even Vox said so.

01:55:39.000 Trump got in.

01:55:40.000 He opposed a ton of what Republicans wanted, creating the Never Trumpers.

01:55:43.000 They were complaining.

01:55:44.000 They're elite cronies.

01:55:45.000 So the reality is, you say Trump gold, but I hear you.

01:55:49.000 Whatever the color is, he's not Republican Red.

01:55:52.000 He's not Democrat Blue.

01:55:53.000 He's something totally different.

01:55:54.000 And there's a small handful of Republicans in the Republican Party who are whatever, you know.

01:55:59.000 I mean, the media pundits even call it Trumpism.

01:56:02.000 Yeah?

01:56:03.000 Not Republicanism.

01:56:03.000 It is different.

01:56:04.000 Yeah, they hate it.

01:56:05.000 Remember they made populist a dirty word?

01:56:07.000 Yeah.

01:56:07.000 They were like, the problem with populist.

01:56:08.000 And it's like, are you trying to argue that elitism is better?

01:56:11.000 Yeah.

01:56:12.000 No, no, no.

01:56:12.000 There's not a whole lot of room there.

01:56:14.000 Meritocracy is fine, and with meritocracy you'll see wealthier people and more prominent people in prominent roles, but elitism is this idea that people who are simply rich for whatever reason are the ones who are going to be in charge.

01:56:26.000 Nah, I'm sorry, I'm not into that.

01:56:28.000 Like I said, if you tell me that the Iron Range, this prominent Democrat union area is endorsing Trump, and then you tell me that the cronies from the government are endorsing Biden, I know which side I'm on.

01:56:41.000 It's not the government cronies, man.

01:56:43.000 It's gonna be union workers.

01:56:45.000 Well, you're not outside of the deep state, Tim.

01:56:47.000 But when did the left decide I'm gonna be opposed to the union workers?

01:56:52.000 That is insane.

01:56:53.000 That's crazy.

01:56:54.000 I don't know.

01:56:55.000 You get a bunch of intelligence agents guys and they're like, yep, that represents me.

01:56:59.000 Dude, the people who live humble lives and work, like, regular jobs and are union members, long-standing Democrats, wow.

01:57:07.000 People whose grandparents used to work in mines, man.

01:57:10.000 Care more about those people.

01:57:12.000 Nick Ellie says, I acknowledge that Tim is a liberal, but I think Lydia said it best several weeks ago.

01:57:17.000 If you're a conservative, conserve things.

01:57:19.000 Right now what needs conserving is liberalism, which I think makes Tim a conservative liberal.

01:57:24.000 Actually, I think, uh, Actually, yeah, maybe that makes sense.

01:57:29.000 Yeah.

01:57:30.000 But not in the sense of like conserving things.

01:57:32.000 In the sense that whatever liberal is supposed to represent, I am like on the left, but for liberals, I'm closer to the right because I'm actually in the middle.

01:57:40.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:57:40.000 You'd like to keep actual liberalism.

01:57:43.000 Oh yeah.

01:57:44.000 Actual liberalism is classical and social liberalism.

01:57:47.000 And the big difference, it's basically a center-right and a center-left position.

01:57:50.000 They mostly get along with each other on, like, everything.

01:57:53.000 They have minor arguments about, like, government policy.

01:57:56.000 Now you have classical liberalism, social liberals are just, like, hiding in the corner, I guess, and the far left.

01:58:04.000 Most conservatives are probably, in many ways, very classically liberal.

01:58:09.000 Oh, definitely.

01:58:09.000 Yeah.

01:58:10.000 Yeah, because they care about freedom.

01:58:11.000 And they would like to conserve some of those ideas.

01:58:13.000 Right.

01:58:14.000 Liberalism, in the truest sense of the word, is individuality, the consent of the governed, and things like that.

01:58:20.000 And conservatives absolutely protect those values.

01:58:23.000 More so than they did a while ago, too, for sure.

01:58:26.000 Yeah.

01:58:26.000 They've gotten a lot more liberal in some ways.

01:58:28.000 Definitely.

01:58:29.000 All right, we got a ton of superchats.

01:58:30.000 Man, we got too many superchats.

01:58:31.000 Oh, man.

01:58:31.000 Thank you, guys.

01:58:33.000 Grim Pickens says, who cares if he crossed state lines?

01:58:35.000 Sure, different state laws.

01:58:37.000 But it's not like he went to Canada.

01:58:38.000 A citizen's outrage about current events is valid regardless of where they live.

01:58:42.000 Want to support a community?

01:58:43.000 Go do it.

01:58:44.000 Who cares where you're from? 1.00

01:58:45.000 I mean, sure, but the left is arguing that for their rioting.

01:58:49.000 They're like, I'm from Seattle, but I'm going to go to Wisconsin.

01:58:51.000 And I'm like, no, no, no.

01:58:51.000 You don't bring that stuff into my home, OK?

01:58:53.000 However, this kid lived like 20 minutes outside of Kenosha.

01:58:58.000 You're not getting me with that state line stuff.

01:59:00.000 It's like, dude, he hung out there.

01:59:02.000 It's his area.

01:59:04.000 Either we enforce it for everyone, and no one should be crossing any state lines to do anything in other cities, or it doesn't matter at all.

01:59:11.000 We're literally in a suburb of Philadelphia.

01:59:13.000 Right.

01:59:13.000 Because Philadelphia borders the river, and then once you cross the river, you're in New Jersey.

01:59:17.000 How absurd would it be if it was like, Tim Pool crossed state lines to go gamble?

01:59:22.000 It's like, well yeah, the casino's right there.

01:59:24.000 It's a 10 minute drive.

01:59:24.000 What are you talking about?

01:59:25.000 I live here.

01:59:26.000 But it is across state lines.

01:59:28.000 Technically correct.

01:59:28.000 It's really funny.

01:59:30.000 So I'll let most of you know the big secret.

01:59:34.000 We didn't do the show yesterday and I thought it'd be easier just to be like, one of the reasons we were like, we don't want to do the show was very simply, Trump was going to be giving a speech and I was like, maybe it's actually a bit reckless because this is a very important thing we should be watching.

01:59:45.000 Yeah.

01:59:45.000 And then serendipitously, I cracked a tooth.

01:59:48.000 And I was like, and then I rushed to the dentist and I totally, I totally, uh, it all got taken care of.

01:59:56.000 But the funny thing is they asked me on the phone if I've left the state because of COVID.

01:59:59.000 They were like, you're going to come in.

02:00:00.000 We can take care of you.

02:00:01.000 You'll be done in half an hour.

02:00:02.000 I'm like, awesome.

02:00:03.000 And they, you know, everything was taken care of pretty easily.

02:00:05.000 It wasn't a big deal, but they were like, have you left the state at all in the past, you know, two weeks?

02:00:09.000 And I was like, no.

02:00:11.000 And they're like, okay.

02:00:11.000 And I was like, I just started thinking about it.

02:00:13.000 I'm like, wait, yeah, I did.

02:00:14.000 No, but, but what if, what if I just hopped over the river?

02:00:18.000 Yeah.

02:00:19.000 Yeah.

02:00:19.000 I was like, we live right here.

02:00:21.000 It's like, if I was like, yeah, I went to Philly for a cheesesteak.

02:00:24.000 Yeah.

02:00:24.000 What if you had?

02:00:25.000 I don't know.

02:00:25.000 Yeah.

02:00:26.000 That's weird, isn't it?

02:00:27.000 That is really weird.

02:00:28.000 We're just too close to other states here.

02:00:29.000 These states are too small.

02:00:30.000 Yeah, Delaware's not far away.

02:00:32.000 Oh, here's Odin.

02:00:34.000 Oh, Odin.

02:00:34.000 Thank you.

02:00:35.000 Snap.

02:00:35.000 The Allfather says.

02:00:36.000 Oh, thank you.

02:00:37.000 Actually, it says Odin the Almighty.

02:00:39.000 Greetings from Norway.

02:00:40.000 Keep up the good work.

02:00:40.000 Appreciate it.

02:00:41.000 Very cool.

02:00:42.000 Let's see.

02:00:42.000 VillaMusicDude says, you mentioned Rochester and how that couple was attacked at the fire supply store.

02:00:48.000 I used to live right down the street.

02:00:49.000 The city was doing so well.

02:00:51.000 The riot and violence I saw disgusted me.

02:00:52.000 I feared for my mom and aunt's safety.

02:00:55.000 Yeah, man.

02:00:56.000 Nick Gando says, watch Coleen Noir's response to Rittenhouse.

02:01:00.000 Will do.

02:01:01.000 Coleen's great.

02:01:01.000 Oh, yeah.

02:01:02.000 Zane Carpenter says, y'all are awesome.

02:01:04.000 Keep it up.

02:01:05.000 Much love from a small town called Gloucester, VA.

02:01:07.000 Very cool.

02:01:07.000 Thank you.

02:01:10.000 So Polchi says, have you guys seen Neuralink demo today?

02:01:14.000 No. 0.80

02:01:14.000 That's the pig they were talking about. 0.80

02:01:16.000 Really? 0.74

02:01:17.000 Yeah, they implanted Neuralink in a pig.

02:01:18.000 And then he controlled it?

02:01:19.000 I don't know.

02:01:20.000 You ever seen the movie Gamer?

02:01:22.000 I think we have.

02:01:23.000 Where Michael C. Hall has like the nanobots that go in people's brains and then he takes over their bodies and like there's a really cool scene where he like does this puppet dance and he makes them all do it too.

02:01:31.000 Oh, interesting.

02:01:32.000 Like, I don't want Elon Musk to be, like, laughing, and then going like, and then doing it with his fingers, and I'm like, I can't help it!

02:01:39.000 I'm doing, like, Elon Musk!

02:01:41.000 The future.

02:01:41.000 Yeah.

02:01:42.000 The YMCA.

02:01:43.000 No, that's the E and the M. Oh, yeah, yeah.

02:01:45.000 Yeah, he makes me, he makes me do the Elon Musk.

02:01:47.000 Oh, I see.

02:01:47.000 I got it now.

02:01:48.000 Yeah, he starts puppet controlling me.

02:01:49.000 This makes sense.

02:01:50.000 I don't want to put it, like, could you, you know why I would not?

02:01:52.000 If, imagine if they put Neuralink in your brain.

02:01:55.000 Dude, come on.

02:01:56.000 I mean, I like the idea, but think about it.

02:01:58.000 It's nice in principle. 0.93

02:02:00.000 What if China, like, hacked your brain? 1.00

02:02:01.000 Yep. 0.86

02:02:01.000 It's gonna be easy. 0.86

02:02:03.000 No thanks.

02:02:04.000 Dude.

02:02:04.000 You know what'd be crazy?

02:02:06.000 What?

02:02:06.000 Like, Neuralink becomes a normal thing across the world, and then warfare is like, some, like, criminal comes in and, like, hacks some virus into your brain, and then everyone starts experiencing crazy, nightmarish zombie attacks.

02:02:19.000 And, like, you walk in ten minutes later, and they're all on the ground screaming and, like, bashing their heads on the walls.

02:02:24.000 Like Kingsmen?

02:02:26.000 Yeah.

02:02:26.000 I don't know if the Neuralink can actually do anything like that.

02:02:30.000 But if it got to that point where they could make you, like, see and hear things?

02:02:35.000 Nah, I'm not into that.

02:02:37.000 You wanna see someone commit a crime that didn't actually happen?

02:02:41.000 But I guess the general idea of the Neuralink is a port, though, right?

02:02:44.000 I don't know.

02:02:44.000 Not wireless?

02:02:45.000 Is it wireless?

02:02:46.000 I don't think it's wireless, is it?

02:02:47.000 I gotta look at it.

02:02:48.000 I gotta see this demo they just did with this thing.

02:02:49.000 If it was like a port to your brain and you could click something in and you could remove it, that would probably be acceptable, you know?

02:02:56.000 Because I wouldn't want any wireless node where I'm like, all of a sudden Elon Musk is sending like, you know, anime cat girls into my brain.

02:03:04.000 I'd be like, no Elon, no!

02:03:05.000 What's happening?

02:03:06.000 They're everywhere and they're meowing at me!

02:03:08.000 But they're people!

02:03:09.000 And cartoons!

02:03:10.000 Some people might like it, you know?

02:03:12.000 Nope, nope.

02:03:14.000 Nicodemus says, if you didn't see the Neuralink demo, the synopsis is that Elon Musk demoed an implantable computer that requires a robot brain surgeon that takes a little under an hour to complete.

02:03:24.000 Oh, and the pigs with, without, and with recently removed implants. 0.94

02:03:29.000 Wow.

02:03:29.000 I gotta check that out.

02:03:31.000 That sounds pretty cool.

02:03:34.000 The future is now.

02:03:36.000 Let's see.

02:03:38.000 Jay Smith says, Tim, I find it humorous, ironic that these people preach anti-racism, yet make fun of orange skin.

02:03:45.000 Yeah.

02:03:45.000 How racist is that?

02:03:47.000 That's colorism.

02:03:48.000 Oh, yeah, that's right.

02:03:49.000 They do.

02:03:49.000 They call it colorism.

02:03:50.000 Not the right shade.

02:03:51.000 They are colorists for mocking Trump for being orange.

02:03:54.000 Hey, you leave the orange man alone.

02:03:56.000 That's right.

02:03:57.000 He's one of a kind.

02:03:57.000 Well, Trump did choose to be orange, though, to be honest.

02:04:00.000 Yeah, well, OK.

02:04:01.000 He chose to be orange.

02:04:02.000 I mean, Sean King comes to mind.

02:04:04.000 Let's see, Matt Graham says, I love the show, especially when Tomato Lydia is the guest.

02:04:08.000 I'd like to give a shout out to Yerjee's BBQ in Indiana.

02:04:12.000 Their owner denied the governor's mandated mask order and called it tyranny.

02:04:16.000 His business was shut down today.

02:04:17.000 Man, that's messed up.

02:04:20.000 BigMacAttack says, Tim, you're describing Ghost in the Shell.

02:04:23.000 Neuralink is like the precursor to the solid-state brains.

02:04:26.000 Yes.

02:04:27.000 I watched Ghost in the Shell.

02:04:28.000 You know what Ghost in the Shell is?

02:04:30.000 Kind of.

02:04:30.000 It's like in the future, people have cyberized brains.

02:04:33.000 And there's like... I mean, one of the really... It's really, really cool.

02:04:37.000 There's a character called the Laughing Man.

02:04:39.000 And when people look at him, their brains are hacked.

02:04:42.000 And the only thing they see is this image of a smiling face with a baseball cap.

02:04:48.000 And there's words spinning around it that say, what I thought I'd do is I'd pretend I was one of those deaf mutes. 0.99

02:04:54.000 And it's a quote from Catcher in the Rye.

02:04:58.000 Oh, creepy.

02:04:58.000 I think Catcher in the Rye.

02:05:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:05:00.000 It's really cool.

02:05:01.000 The show's amazing.

02:05:03.000 Yeah.

02:05:03.000 And people have prosthetic bodies where they're like, their ghost gets implanted in other bodies and stuff.

02:05:07.000 I would like that.

02:05:08.000 I'll just upgrade.

02:05:10.000 Giant mech robot, like Mecha Nixon from Futurama.

02:05:13.000 Yep, yep.

02:05:15.000 Mecha Nixon.

02:05:16.000 Oh, Futurama.

02:05:17.000 Let's see here.

02:05:18.000 Mahi Mahi says, Tim, the Neuralink is ghost in the shell.

02:05:21.000 The good one.

02:05:22.000 That'd be cool, man.

02:05:22.000 I like it.

02:05:24.000 Josh Nelson says, from Northwest Maine, it's very red up here, 65% of our population live in Duluth and, oh, Minnesota, sorry, not Maine, from Northwest Minnesota.

02:05:34.000 It's very red up here, 65% of our population live in Duluth and Minneapolis, so they kinda control our vote.

02:05:40.000 Really hoping we can swing red for the first time since Reagan.

02:05:43.000 I think so, man.

02:05:45.000 I really do think so.

02:05:46.000 Digital Shokunin says, Colleen Noir just posted an amazing take on the legal aspects of Kyle's situation.

02:05:51.000 I'll check it out.

02:05:53.000 Supercharged says, hey Tim, did you see CNN change the lower thirds that described the Wisconsin riots from violent protests to protests?

02:06:00.000 They pointed it out on Daily Wire.

02:06:02.000 Yup, I saw that.

02:06:02.000 I did, I watched it happen.

02:06:04.000 So cringe!

02:06:06.000 I can imagine them coming in, like the intern who typed it up, they're like, no, no, get rid of violent!

02:06:10.000 We like those people, we're on their side.

02:06:11.000 They're like, okay, we'll just roll it back.

02:06:13.000 And then put it right back.

02:06:15.000 Oh, there it is, it's gone. 0.99

02:06:16.000 So dumb. 1.00

02:06:16.000 Magic. 1.00

02:06:17.000 Internet Veteran says you are a liberal, center-right Republican with populist leanings.

02:06:22.000 I'm actually... Well, on the political compass, I'm actually very left.

02:06:27.000 Like, pretty far left.

02:06:29.000 But I think what unites me for the most part with conservatives is liberty.

02:06:35.000 Right now, at least.

02:06:36.000 I'm not saying conservatives were always the same.

02:06:38.000 I think they changed, but...

02:06:39.000 For the most part, I'm like, so long as you believe in free speech, free expression, and all that stuff, I'm down.

02:06:44.000 The bigger issue for me is that I think, idealistically, I'm all about left libertarianism, but this can't work at a grand scale.

02:06:52.000 So I move towards the center, towards liberal, where you have more government authority and more government control, and the cat's yelling at us.

02:06:59.000 Most of you might not know this, but Bucko, the cat, you might be able to hear him yelling, When we do the show too long, no joke, because we normally end at 10, he starts yelling because he knows this is cookie time.

02:07:11.000 It is cookie time.

02:07:12.000 And he joins me.

02:07:13.000 When the show is over, you know, he's normally like, oh, there they are.

02:07:16.000 So now we've we've gone six minutes over.

02:07:18.000 He's yelling.

02:07:19.000 He's yelling.

02:07:19.000 He is punctual.

02:07:20.000 Look at his face.

02:07:21.000 You guys can't see it, but he's complaining.

02:07:23.000 Give me cookies! 1.00

02:07:25.000 Thomas Lordo says, former NFL linebacker Brian Urlacher is getting slammed for essentially telling NBA players to shut up and dribble.

02:07:32.000 The weirdest thing about that is still that he has hair plugs now.

02:07:36.000 And you know, you bring that up, but in Chicago, he totally embraced it.

02:07:41.000 There's ads, billboards everywhere for him.

02:07:43.000 He was really proud of it.

02:07:45.000 Yeah, there's like billboards everywhere.

02:07:47.000 This was a while ago.

02:07:48.000 I don't know if they're still doing it.

02:07:49.000 Embrace it, man.

02:07:50.000 But you know what?

02:07:51.000 Look, do your job.

02:07:53.000 If you don't want to do your job, I get it.

02:07:55.000 I just think it's ridiculous that, uh... Oh, now he's hitting me. 0.55

02:07:59.000 He's mad. 0.71

02:08:00.000 He's yelling.

02:08:00.000 Yeah, he's smacking me around over here.

02:08:01.000 He's mad.

02:08:02.000 Bucko... Buck... So, for those that don't know, Bucko is the cat, and he was named by my friend Emily for Jordan Peterson.

02:08:08.000 I don't... Just because it was funny.

02:08:09.000 Yeah.

02:08:11.000 Ow! 1.00

02:08:12.000 You clawed me!

02:08:13.000 Oh no!

02:08:14.000 He needs his cookies.

02:08:16.000 Yikes.

02:08:16.000 Sorry, they're upstairs.

02:08:17.000 Otherwise, I'd totally grab them.

02:08:19.000 Alright, we'll just read a couple more because the cat's literally clawing me.

02:08:23.000 Frank the God says, Great show, Tim and Lids.

02:08:25.000 Trump was reserved but had some zingers.

02:08:28.000 How can Joe be the light when his party can't keep the lights on?

02:08:31.000 Yeah, and he had something funny.

02:08:33.000 Oh, he keeps clawing me.

02:08:34.000 He's mad.

02:08:36.000 He's like, give me food! 1.00

02:08:38.000 He said, if I say protesters your ass, I don't talk about my ass. 1.00

02:08:43.000 That was funny. 1.00

02:08:44.000 But you just did.

02:08:45.000 Yeah, he did.

02:08:46.000 IK says, Tim, I live in California.

02:08:48.000 I recently got a notice regarding November elections.

02:08:50.000 It might interest you.

02:08:51.000 Where can I send it just so it doesn't get lost in Twitter sphere and in DMs?

02:08:55.000 Spintheufo at gmail.com.

02:08:56.000 Correct.

02:08:57.000 There you go.

02:08:58.000 Even though we're not really spinning the UFO anymore.

02:08:59.000 We are not.

02:09:00.000 Oh, man.

02:09:00.000 But I will spin it.

02:09:01.000 Yes.

02:09:01.000 Thank you.

02:09:02.000 Yeah, I check out pretty much every day.

02:09:03.000 I go through.

02:09:04.000 I don't respond to many people.

02:09:06.000 I do as many as I can.

02:09:08.000 Well, I'll tell you what.

02:09:09.000 We have gone a few minutes over, and because I'm being clawed mercilessly by the cat who's complaining because he wants to eat, make sure you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at Timcast.

02:09:17.000 You can follow Lydia at Sour Patch Lids.

02:09:20.000 L-Y-D-S. 1.00

02:09:21.000 Sour Patch L-Y-D-S. 0.86

02:09:23.000 I spell the Y out because otherwise people will put L-I-D-S or something.

02:09:26.000 And make sure you check out my other channels, YouTube.com slash TimCast and YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.

02:09:32.000 I have three channels, by the way.

02:09:34.000 So you can check them out.

02:09:35.000 And thanks for hanging out.

02:09:36.000 This was a fun day.

02:09:37.000 A lot of people showed up.

02:09:38.000 We had a great time.

02:09:38.000 We complained a lot, had a good conversation.

02:09:41.000 And we will be back Monday.

02:09:42.000 Kimberly Klesik will be here.

02:09:44.000 Dude, she's awesome. 1.00

02:09:45.000 I don't know if you guys saw her ad, but she roasted the Democrats for running all of these cities for decades and failing.

02:09:51.000 And it's a really good point because, look, you can be respectful to Democrats and say, I appreciate you tried, but you failed, and it's time to make a change.

02:09:57.000 And so I think she did a great ad.

02:09:58.000 It's got like 12 million views or something.

02:10:01.000 Yeah, seriously.

02:10:02.000 There he goes.

02:10:03.000 OK, we're going to sign off.

02:10:04.000 Thanks for hanging out, everybody, before the cat freaks out.

02:10:06.000 And we will see you all Monday at 8 p.m.

02:10:09.000 But we will have clips up tomorrow throughout the day.

02:10:12.000 Adios, everyone.
