Join Lydia and Luke as they discuss a bunch of breaking news, including the fact that 6 cities in the former Democratic stronghold of the Iron Range have endorsed Donald Trump. They also talk about why the Democratic National Committee should be worried about Trump and why they should not be.
00:01:38.000Listen, I'll tell you what, these Republicans supporting Joe Biden are swamp monsters and spooks.
00:01:43.000People who used to work for intelligence agencies. So by all means, you can have them, okay? If
00:01:47.000they're going to go and endorse Biden, I'm not going to try and win them back over.
00:01:52.000Union workers, however, hey, come on over.
00:01:55.000right? 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.
00:02:10.000You 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.
00:02:28.000I 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.
00:02:36.000I was like, yes, yes, this is what I have been saying.
00:02:41.000So we've got this, we've got some other- So we're gonna talk about this too.
00:02:43.000I mean, this is huge, and we'll go over what the Iron Range is, and we got some other tweets.
00:02:48.000It's really crazy to me to see this paranoid, delusional bubble from the Beltway politicians.
00:02:52.000There 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.
00:04:50.000Actually, I don't think I can play because I don't think it's working.
00:04:52.000But 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.
00:04:58.000And she's like, if I have to lay my life on the line to defend this country, I will do it.
00:05:03.000And I'm just like, I'm clapping like, yes.
00:05:05.000How 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?
00:05:34.000I 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.
00:05:40.000But let me read this so you get an understanding of what this means.
00:05:44.000And 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.
00:06:12.000They 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.
00:06:26.000Because there's something I noticed about, I don't know, everything from the far left.
00:06:31.000They're young, unhinged, and typically well-off, and they're screeching about socialism.
00:06:38.000And I'm like, none of these people work.
00:06:40.000Like, 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?
00:07:04.000Anyway, this Republican from Indiana is saying that he wants to cancel federal unemployment benefits for people convicted on rioting charges.
00:07:14.000That 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.
00:07:28.000You can see it's from DonaldTrump.com.
00:07:31.000They 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.
00:07:43.000Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades.
00:07:47.000We have watched as our constituents' jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country.
00:07:52.000By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class.
00:07:58.000We 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.
00:08:06.000Today, we don't recognize the Democratic Party.
00:08:09.000It has been moved so far to the left, it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class.
00:08:15.000The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats.
00:08:21.000We didn't choose to leave the Democratic Party.
00:08:45.000They're like, get out of here you hippie skateboarding, you know, whatever.
00:08:50.000But I, you know, the way I described it earlier is, I mean, they hit the nail on the head.
00:08:55.000It's just gone so far to the left, it doesn't represent working class people anymore.
00:08:58.000I don't even know what they represent.
00:08:59.000You know, the funniest part about this to me is watching Twitter, the fake world of
00:09:03.000Twitter talk about the people who are like calling it a C-span and the people who say,
00:09:07.000you know, the Democratic Party has moved too far left.
00:09:09.000Watching people on Twitter say, oh, these are just Trump supporters.
00:09:13.000These people aren't telling the truth.
00:09:15.000And 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.
00:09:21.000You know, maybe we're in the bubble, but I just don't think so.
00:09:27.000I 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.
00:09:38.000But a lot of these people point out the TV ratings for the DNC were way higher.
00:09:41.000I think that has a lot to do with the fact that Republicans follow both news sources.
00:09:55.000There's no, like, never Trump is just like a bunch of crony establishment people.
00:09:59.000But 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.
00:10:07.000Moderates are inverted, two-thirds from mainstream and one-third from conservative, but liberals, the left, they only get their news from left-wing sources.
00:10:14.000So that says to me that when it comes to the DNC ratings, Republicans were watching.
00:10:59.000Yeah, he can't stand and he managed to do it.
00:11:01.000And she's like, he's making light of the people who kneel.
00:11:04.000Yeah, right, so Madison Cawthorn stands for his speech at the RNC and it's like a huge effort because he's paralyzed.
00:11:11.000Yeah, he stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.
00:11:12.000For the Pledge of Allegiance, oh yeah.
00:11:14.000And 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.
00:11:55.000This is really amazing stuff, because now they get into the praise for Donald Trump.
00:11:57.000They say, we didn't choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us.
00:12:01.000Yet four years ago, something wonderful happened.
00:12:04.000Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, and he stood up to China, implemented tax cuts, and fought for the working class.
00:12:11.000Now, four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life.
00:12:15.000And for the first time in a very long time, locals are hopeful because of this president's policies and willingness to fight for us.
00:12:21.000Lifelong 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.
00:12:33.000In this election, there's a lot at stake, but the biggest risk is our jobs, our economy, and our way of life.
00:12:38.000President Trump delivered the best economy in our nation's history, and President Trump will deliver for us again.
00:12:44.000He will continue to fight for every American, regardless of party affiliation, and continue to stand up for the working class.
00:12:51.000Today, we write to formally endorse President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for four more years.
00:12:57.000And 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.
00:13:28.000So 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.
00:13:37.000Paul, not even the suburban areas of the Twin Cities.
00:13:41.000Okay, it goes, the Iron Range is known for Cornish pastries stuffed with carrots, ground beef, and potatoes.
00:13:46.000Pastries were an easy lunch for people working deep in the iron mines.
00:13:49.000Slovenian 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.
00:14:29.000You 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.
00:14:43.000And I think it's, you know, kind of escalating to a dangerous place, but anyway, the point was...
00:14:48.000I 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.
00:14:57.000Yeah, so the mining people and the people who are... No, I lost it.
00:15:01.000I 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.
00:15:07.000Yeah, 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.
00:15:22.000These are areas that are very, very far apart.
00:15:24.000And this kid probably used to hang out in Kenosha all the time.
00:15:27.000But anyway, more to the point, one thing I find really interesting is they mention that Joe Biden has lost touch with the working class.
00:15:33.000And 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?
00:16:26.000All 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.
00:16:40.000And I just, I'm, you know, somebody sent me this.
00:17:34.000How is it the Democratic voter base has become so unhinged and blind to this?
00:17:40.000So 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.
00:17:56.000And I'm like, do you read the news or is it just memes?
00:18:01.000Because on Facebook, it's dominated every day by Ben Shapiro and, you know, Daily Wire and Fox News.
00:18:08.000It 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.
00:18:27.000They don't have to hear anything they don't want to hear.
00:18:28.000They don't have to actually listen to Donald Trump speak, which probably triggers them.
00:18:33.000I mean, you know, so I jokingly have been posting things like, Trump landslide.
00:18:38.000So the first thing I post on Facebook is that Benny Johnson clip, where you get these C-SPAN callers.
00:18:57.000And 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.
00:19:15.000Nothing will harm a campaign like the wishful thinking, fearful hesitation, or sheer complacency that fails to address what voters plainly see.
00:19:28.000They say it's no use dismissing their words as partisan talking points in reference to Trump's law and order.
00:19:33.000They are effective ones backed up by certain facts.
00:19:35.000Trump will bang this loudly, ugly drum, until election day.
00:19:39.000He knows that Kenosha has placed Democrats in a trap.
00:19:42.000They've embraced the protests and the causes that drive them.
00:19:45.000The third night of the Democratic convention was consumed with the language and imagery of protest, as if all Americans watching were activists.
00:19:55.000Written here by The Atlantic, this is how Joe Biden loses.
00:20:00.000The Iron Range, a Democrat stronghold, has six cities from the Iron Range, not the entirety of, has endorsed Donald Trump.
00:20:08.000We also heard the story from CNN a little while ago.
00:20:11.000They 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.
00:20:27.000Actually, let me give you some context first.
00:20:29.000Michael 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.
00:20:42.000And he saw many of these people doing what I would call begging.
00:20:45.000Spray painting on their windows like, please don't hurt us, we support Black Lives Matter.
00:20:49.000He went to towns That no one, that got no coverage, that nobody even probably knew had riots until he went there.
00:21:28.000They say on Monday, the day after Blake's shooting, Biden and his vice presidential nominee, Senator Kamala Harris, released statements expressing outrage.
00:21:35.000The next day, Biden's spokesperson released a statement opposing burning down communities and needless destruction.
00:21:40.000On Wednesday, Biden, after speaking with the Blake family, condemned both the initial incident and the subsequent destruction.
00:21:46.000Burning down communities is not protest, he pleaded in a video, it's needless violence.
00:21:52.000He said the same after George Floyd's killing.
00:22:33.000This 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?
00:22:41.000I love this image because it's like, yes, I'd imagine you are.
00:22:45.000But 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.
00:23:01.000And you're like, they smashed up the bakery by my house.
00:23:07.000You 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?
00:23:16.000So I was in DC on, they call it J20, it was Trump's inauguration in 2017.
00:23:21.000They smashed up McDonald's and Starbucks and like some banks or whatever.
00:23:25.000And I was talking to somebody, because I tell them this all the time.
00:23:28.000You ever stop and think about what that, you know, a regular person who shops there is thinking once they walk up?
00:25:37.000You 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.
00:25:53.000And 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.
00:26:01.000And I was like, how did they get anywhere near us?
00:26:20.000Today I sent this letter via email to Donald Trump, declining his recurring offer to aid Portland by sending federal enforcement to the city.
00:30:22.000The police in Kenosha saw, I guess they saw Riot Kitchen, which is from Seattle, and pulled up.
00:30:29.000A 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.
00:30:36.000They arrested them on disorderly conduct, which, Sounds kind of BS to me, to be honest.
00:30:41.000Because they weren't really doing anything, right?
00:30:47.000But they had a big bus that said Riot Kitchen on it.
00:30:49.000And 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.
00:30:58.000First and foremost, you violate the Fourth Amendment.
00:31:03.000I 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.
00:31:14.000But anyway, Andy Ngo tweeted this out.
00:31:16.000He 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.
00:31:23.000It could also be because the feds have dropped the hammer.
00:31:26.000Yeah, it could be a combination of those two.
00:31:28.000Yeah, 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.
00:31:35.000Have you ever seen that episode of South Park?
00:31:38.000Okay, 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.
00:31:47.000And then the next day there's like a hundred homeless guys in front of his house.
00:31:50.000And 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.
00:31:58.000And then all the homeless people followed after the bus as they were like in the city of Santa Monica.
00:32:07.000And 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.
00:32:13.000So 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.
00:32:24.000Because their strategy was to have the police stand down and like to prevent escalation.
00:32:29.000So 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.
00:32:59.000No, 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!
00:33:13.000He's like, no, we don't want your help.
00:33:16.000We don't want cops to come in here and stop the violence.
00:36:18.000I 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.
00:36:34.000I 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!
00:36:44.000And 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.
00:36:54.000I remember when he did the North Korea thing, and that meant a lot to me, seriously.
00:37:00.000Because 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.
00:37:12.000My 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.
00:37:21.000And 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.
00:37:27.000And 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.
00:41:52.000Even though I know, like, the bad guys train the dogs.
00:41:54.000No, 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.
00:43:00.000When 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!
00:43:07.000It seriously looked like a high school, like, end-of-year celebration video.
00:43:18.000So 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.
00:43:27.000I thought that the GOP giving her a platform was incredibly impactful.
00:44:24.000Yeah, exactly, there's nothing he can do.
00:44:26.000And I mean, most of us know it at this point.
00:44:28.000And 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.
00:44:43.000Then I posted the letter from these Iron Range Democrats saying, you know, landslide, here it comes!
00:44:48.000And 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.
00:45:00.000But I think these are signs that Trump is gonna win.
00:45:02.000But I don't understand how these people can deny it.
00:45:05.000Like, when you have the Union Belt, you know, the Iron Range, all these small Union towns being like, woo, go Trump!
00:45:11.000And they're Democrat strongholds for like, you know, for decades.
00:46:15.000Because this is saying several things.
00:46:17.000For one, Trump is right on the economy.
00:46:19.000And Trump's approval rating on the economy has been above water basically the entire time.
00:46:23.000So I look at Trump's job approval rating and I'm like, does that matter?
00:46:27.000I look at his favorability, does that matter?
00:46:29.000I 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.
00:46:49.000And that's, that's, that's kind of the thing.
00:46:50.000Like 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.
00:47:40.000That'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.
00:47:54.000If Trump leaves, Nancy Pelosi says she's still going to pull his tax returns.
00:47:58.000And I'm just like, I don't care about his tax returns now.
00:48:02.000I'm especially not going to care about him when he loses.
00:48:04.000The square root of how much I care about it now will be how much I care about it after he's gone.
00:49:14.000Like, I don't go in there like, you know what, man, you're so wrong!
00:49:17.000I go in there and I just post, like, really bland, like, half-assed comments.
00:49:21.000So, 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?
00:49:27.000And then they're all posting this stuff, and I was like, I was like, dang, yo, if only Blake didn't grab that knife.
00:49:59.000You could, this is different from what you do.
00:50:01.000You 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?
00:52:08.000It'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.
00:52:27.000So kind of, you know, looking at what that kid said.
00:52:29.000So we just had that we saw that tweet where this guy and I don't know if he's in D.C.
00:52:59.000Mark Joseph Stern says, and this guy is a writer for Slate, staff writer.
00:53:03.000He 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.
00:54:45.000There'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.
00:55:45.000But 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.
00:55:58.000Using 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.
00:56:11.000When 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.
00:56:22.000We're not talking about a situation where a crazed maniac was going around killing people.
00:56:26.000We're talking about a situation where a young man who is legally As far as we can tell right now, possessing a firearm.
00:56:32.000In fact, they haven't charged him with illegal possession.
00:56:34.000They've only charged him with homicide.
00:56:50.000You 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.
00:57:13.000Because USA Today actually published, it was Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, saying a legal expert said there's an exemption for 17-year-olds.
00:57:19.000They 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.
00:57:30.000If you lived in Antioch and you were like, I want to go to the city, it's probably Kenosha.
00:58:14.000A 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.
00:58:34.000How they'll say things like, in the event of a mass shooter, like, hide, barricade, you know, only attack when you absolutely have to.
00:58:41.000When you have the situation here, they ran up and tried taking his gun from him.
00:58:45.000Did 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.
00:59:03.000So 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.
00:59:33.000Look, 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.
00:59:40.000So it's like, the first people I'm going to criticize are the people who started everything.
00:59:44.000And then after we get through all that, I'll say, leave it to law enforcement.
01:00:14.000According 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.
01:00:33.000And 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.
01:00:45.000And the New York Times reported there were 16 other gunshots.
01:01:33.000I 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.
01:01:46.000They're not like, I want to join the military.
01:02:36.000All right, I'm gonna be tomato lady here.
01:02:39.000I 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.
01:02:48.000He's labeled as being Hispanic, so that kind of removes their racial- Really?
01:03:11.000I 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.
01:05:54.000Isn'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.
01:06:51.000Well, 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.
01:07:08.000Cause it's like, you don't always see that.
01:07:10.000Sometimes 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.
01:07:15.000But if you, if you don't go back and you're like, oh gosh, that was wrong.
01:07:31.000And 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?
01:07:42.000Then I went back and read it and went, ah, I'm an idiot.
01:07:45.000It was the people who filled them out, then died, then got their votes disqualified.
01:08:17.000And 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.
01:08:58.000Isn'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?
01:09:31.000And 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.
01:09:40.000And it's like, is Joe supposed to be like, I've never heard that before, therefore you're wrong!
01:09:48.000But that's exactly what the media does.
01:09:50.000Take 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.
01:10:54.000And 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.
01:11:05.000People will leave, and eventually there will be nothing left.
01:11:08.000Well, 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.
01:11:12.000I feel like they're losing control, they're becoming completely irrelevant, and they know it.
01:11:20.000And 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.
01:11:27.000And 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.
01:11:42.000And 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.
01:11:49.000And 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.
01:12:00.000I 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?
01:13:50.000Yeah, 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.
01:14:02.000But what happens when there's no movie theaters because they're shut down?
01:14:59.000They 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.
01:15:08.000And then, you know, Donald Trump is like, get him, kitty, and the cat's made of gold, and the cat turns into a robot.
01:15:14.000They need something exciting because life is boring.
01:15:36.000Hybrid regimes, competitive authoritarianism are remarkably stable.
01:15:40.000This is why 2020 is for all the marbles.
01:15:44.000This is why I have no use for people who whinge about Biden-Harris not being far enough left for their tastes.
01:15:50.000They 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.
01:15:57.000The 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.
01:16:09.000That's the only plausible scenario I can come up with after the autocratic breakthrough.
01:16:15.000The people who study autocracy are all singing the same tune.
01:16:18.000American democracy is not strong enough to survive another four years.
01:16:27.000The guardrails are already almost completely down.
01:16:30.000This is entirely consistent with how others have fallen in the post-Cold War period.
01:16:35.000Trump's intentions are clear, so are the GOP's.
01:16:38.000While 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.
01:16:46.000Maybe this helps their chances of election.
01:16:49.000But it leaves the vast majority of the American public in the dark as to how incredibly dangerous this moment is.
01:16:55.000Especially with QAnon, a group that wants enemies thrown in concentration camps, inexorably capturing the Republican Party, even as it becomes autocratic.
01:17:26.000She finishes with, in most states your vote no longer matters.
01:17:30.000We are rapidly approaching it at a federal level.
01:17:32.000You know that you are no longer living in a democracy because the elections in which you are participating no longer can yield political change.
01:17:41.000And, 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?
01:18:52.000If you built a nice house, you'd love and you'd respect that house, and you'd say, I like this building.
01:18:58.000Now, 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.
01:19:15.000You 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.
01:19:26.000It's exactly like a sunken cost fallacy.
01:19:29.000They put all their time into this, and gosh darn it, it is the best garbage in the world.
01:19:36.000I've built, you know, many of us, those of you watching, we've all built nice little houses of like coherent thought.
01:19:42.000Donald Trump has his issues, but for the most part, you know, he's okay.
01:19:45.000And he's doing a lot of things that have been traditional in terms of like political parties.
01:19:49.000Some people have compared him to like Bill Clinton.
01:19:52.000In the good way, not the bad way, like, you know, just general populist policy and stuff.
01:19:57.000Although 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.
01:20:05.000And the things he says, you know, are very inviting to regular people.
01:20:09.000So we've all built these kind of little huts of coherent thought, but the left is sitting on a big pile of stinky garbage.
01:20:14.000They refuse to let go because they've put too much into it, and they keep inviting more people to the stinky garbage.
01:20:20.000And they're warning—like, so here's what happens.
01:20:22.000You're walking down the street, and there's a fork in the road.
01:20:24.000And there's a bunch of nice little-looking huts.
01:20:26.000But there's that big ol' pile of garbage.
01:20:28.000And there's someone standing at the fork, telling you, go to the garbage pile.
01:20:39.000And screaming, did you know what's in this?!
01:20:42.000And then, like... Actually, I'll do a better example.
01:20:45.000With 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.
01:20:54.000And so they start screaming about the asbestos, but nobody's using it anymore, right?
01:21:28.000Even 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.
01:21:34.000But I'll tell you this, I think it's really funny that she brought up QAnon.
01:21:37.000Because 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.
01:21:44.000And so there's a lot of people of a general view of what it means.
01:21:47.000Like, you know, Epstein and stuff like that.
01:21:49.000Which, 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.
01:21:57.000But, like, Bill Clinton has been flight logs, not to the island, But there's like, there's weird stuff.
01:22:02.000There's weird stuff around that, right?
01:22:34.000If 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!
01:23:25.000Look, 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.
01:23:34.000But to go as insane as this lady, when it's like, listen, I think Hillary Clinton was bad for a lot of reasons.
01:23:41.000I think she was very crooked, and I think Joe Biden is crooked.
01:23:44.000I 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.
01:23:50.000And I think Trump does love this country, and I think he is a populist, though he is himself very elite.
01:23:55.000I don't think he's all that bad and I think they're extreme in their exaggerations of who he is.
01:24:00.000And I think a lot of people are extreme in their exaggerations of who Hillary Clinton is.
01:24:03.000Hillary 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.
01:24:16.000I 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.
01:24:26.000I 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.
01:26:29.000He 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.
01:28:15.000I'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.
01:28:22.000But there are some Twitter people with hundreds of thousands of followers who are quite literally mentally ill.
01:28:27.000To 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.
01:29:02.000There are some people who've tweeted, like, really, really crazy things, saying things like, Steve Bannon is gonna be hanged for treason or something.
01:29:48.000Then you go and there's nothing there.
01:29:50.000So 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.
01:30:01.000And then you're like, uh-huh, okay, I don't know, whatever, is that news?
01:30:24.000And 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.
01:30:29.000Wait a second, but you already gave them your click.
01:30:34.000And 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.
01:30:43.000I 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.
01:30:53.000I probably already made too many jokes.
01:31:22.000Linn 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.
01:31:33.000According to the AP, Miller said he wanted to make it easy for voters to vote absentee during the pandemic, per the same report.
01:31:39.000However, Judge Ian Thornhill ruled that Miller's mailing of the ballots violated a clear directive from Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate.
01:31:46.000who said absentee ballots forms must be blank when sent to voters according to the AP.
01:31:51.000Thornhill has ordered Miller to notify voters who received pre-filled out ballot.
01:31:55.000Their ballot cannot be processed. Instead, they can either vote in person on election day or
01:31:58.000request new absentee ballots. Miller has agreed to send out the new blank forms.
01:32:02.000So it's actually not what we thought it was, but it's still kind of fraud.
01:32:06.000The initial fraud, it seemed like, or, you know, impropriety was that people were sending in their requests and getting, you know, getting nuked.
01:32:30.000Because 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.
01:32:43.000What if they filled out that person's personal information, including voter ID number?
01:33:52.000So 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.
01:34:01.000And the problems are coming from their demands.
01:36:59.000And I'm just like, I'm pretty sure Donald Trump's skin isn't radioactive.
01:37:04.000Because, like, I don't know what generates an orange glow, but I'm assuming it's some kind of quantum function pertaining to radioactivity.
01:39:27.000So 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.
01:39:33.000I guess if you're a Pokemon and you like hearing someone say Pikachu 7,000 times.
01:39:39.000But it's really funny when you compare like the style of a lot of these shows on like MSNBC or CNN versus any podcast.
01:39:49.000And 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.
01:39:59.000You know what's a good idea for men in the street?
01:40:00.000Take a random guy, and another random guy, and then have them talk about politics.
01:42:04.000Like, 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.
01:42:58.000I 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?
01:44:41.000There'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.
01:44:59.000I gotta stress to everybody, you gotta understand, like, I just broke a million subs.
01:45:04.000And 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.
01:45:12.000I'm getting close to like 90 million per month.
01:45:32.000TheGamingGinger says, what's with this new Biden ad talking about how Trump's abandoning the U.S.?
01:45:38.000I love how the comments are turned off, because it's unhinged.
01:45:41.000Donald 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.
01:45:50.000If 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.
01:46:10.000Do you think school choice will affect gerrymandering since property taxes may need to spread across multiple districts to fund successful schools?
01:48:16.000Because we're in the middle of nowhere, we actually have to hire one of these companies to lay ground line.
01:48:22.000I 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.
01:48:59.000Bom 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.
01:49:08.000You 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?
01:50:13.000Like, 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.
01:50:19.000That would make it, by necessity, the finest time of your life.
01:50:23.000Because it is the final event of your life, I think.
01:50:54.000These 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.
01:51:02.000They're going to be like, ooh, look, here they come!
01:51:15.000Garfunkel, 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.
01:51:25.000This is a port end of a huge political upheaval.
01:51:42.000It's like strongly this very specific party that is a part of the Democratic Party.
01:51:48.000Yeah, 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?
01:53:30.000A lot of people I hear that are supporting Trump are doing it.
01:53:32.000So there's somebody I know from the Midwest.
01:53:35.000And they were very like green party, third party type, you know, not really super interested in the two party system and very activist-y.
01:53:43.000Now 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.
01:54:29.000Jack Daw says, you should get a hold of a prominent YouTuber, Louis Rossman.
01:54:33.000He lives and runs a business in Manhattan.
01:54:35.000He'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.
01:54:54.000Look, the big issue to me for the most part with this election is that the Democrats have been overrun or adopted far-left identitarianism.
01:56:12.000There's not a whole lot of room there.
01:56:14.000Meritocracy 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.
01:56:28.000Like 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.
01:57:30.000But not in the sense of like conserving things.
01:57:32.000In 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.
01:59:04.000Either 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.
01:59:11.000We're literally in a suburb of Philadelphia.
01:59:30.000So I'll let most of you know the big secret.
01:59:34.000We 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.
02:01:23.000Where 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.
02:01:32.000Like, 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!
02:02:06.000Like, 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.
02:02:19.000And, like, you walk in ten minutes later, and they're all on the ground screaming and, like, bashing their heads on the walls.
02:02:48.000I gotta see this demo they just did with this thing.
02:02:49.000If 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?
02:02:56.000Because 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.
02:03:14.000Nicodemus 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.
02:03:24.000Oh, and the pigs with, without, and with recently removed implants.
02:05:24.000Josh 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.
02:05:34.000It's very red up here, 65% of our population live in Duluth and Minneapolis, so they kinda control our vote.
02:05:40.000Really hoping we can swing red for the first time since Reagan.
02:06:39.000For the most part, I'm like, so long as you believe in free speech, free expression, and all that stuff, I'm down.
02:06:44.000The bigger issue for me is that I think, idealistically, I'm all about left libertarianism, but this can't work at a grand scale.
02:06:52.000So I move towards the center, towards liberal, where you have more government authority and more government control, and the cat's yelling at us.
02:06:59.000Most 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.
02:09:09.000We 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.
02:09:17.000You can follow Lydia at Sour Patch Lids.
02:09:45.000I don't know if you guys saw her ad, but she roasted the Democrats for running all of these cities for decades and failing.
02:09:51.000And 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.
