J.D. Vance and Tim Walz are neck and neck in the Democratic primary race for governor of Virginia. But did Walz misspeak? And did he mean to say he was friends with school shooters? Plus, a new MyPillow deal!
00:00:00.000Now I know y'all saw that debate that I saw and I gotta tell ya, JD Vance cooked Tim Waltz
00:00:25.000Now, originally I said he crushed him, but I was informed by Gen Z that you gotta use the young man's language, Gen Z slang, so cooked is what we say now.
00:00:33.000Okay, Tim Walz got cooked by J.D. Vance.
00:00:38.000But it is surprising that there are many polls showing it's basically neck and neck, that people actually liked Tim Walz, despite the fact he got called out for lying.
00:00:47.000Several times. And he said he was friends with school shooters.
00:00:51.000I'm not making it up. It's not an exaggeration.
00:02:13.000MyPillow is made with patented adjustable fill.
00:02:16.000It adjusts to your exact individual needs regardless of your sleep position, helps keep your neck aligned, and holds its shape all night long so you get the best sleep of your life.
00:02:24.000In fact, I use two MyPillows. It's true.
00:02:26.000Actually, no, I have one MyPillow. Sorry, sorry.
00:02:28.000I have a... we have like 300 downstairs.
00:02:30.000But that's not all, get their 6 piece kitchen or bath towels.
00:02:34.000That's only $25. The brand-new mattress topper, as low as $69.98.
00:02:37.000And their famous MyPillow bed sheets for as low as $25 and so much more.
00:03:12.000The song is about how our cities have fallen into ruin, and I just couldn't help feeling this way when I see everything going on with my home, with San Francisco and New York, the places I live, the places I had to leave because the homeless camps are getting bad, the human waste is getting bad, the violence, the riots.
00:03:27.000It's untenable. Well, we wrote a song, and it's featuring Phil Labonte of All That Remains.
00:03:32.000It is available now. And if you guys buy it on iTunes specifically, we can smash through the gates.
00:03:37.000And the gatekeepers are trying to keep us out.
00:03:39.000They do the same to Matt Walsh, Tom McDonald, Bryson Gray.
00:03:42.000They do not want us to get these hit songs.

00:04:18.000Great to be here. Thanks for having me. Who are you?
00:04:20.000What do you do? So I'm the editor of the Republic Sentinel.
00:04:22.000We are a conservative news and commentary outlet owned and operated by Christians.
00:04:26.000So we are producing excellent reporting to the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ and just exposing establishing Republicans with your stories, investigations, documentaries, all the rest.
00:05:44.000From the post-millennial, independents favor J.D. Vance over Tim Waltz after VP debate says CNN of all outlets.
00:05:52.00054% of independents said after the debate that Vance did a better job compared to 46% who said the same of Waltz.
00:06:00.000The CNN poll conducted by SSRS found these numbers when asked about before the debate.
00:06:06.00060% of independents said they thought Kamala's running mate would do a better job in the debate compared to 60% who said the same of Vance.
00:06:14.000Those numbers are wrong, by the way, Postman.
00:06:15.000You mean 40%. Overall, 51% of registered voters said that Vance did a better job in the debate compared to 49% who said Waltz did a better job.
00:06:23.000Before the debate, 54% said Waltz would do better, and 45% said the same of Trump.
00:06:28.000We heard this Before the debate yesterday, that the polls were favoring Tim Walz.
00:06:33.000Everyone thought he was going to do better.
00:07:36.000Yeah, I mean, I recall, what, two years ago when he ran for Senate for the first time, he was very articulate during that debate, too.
00:07:41.000So it wasn't too much of a surprise to see that he dwelt last night.
00:07:44.000Yeah. Yeah, I think people are underplaying how important this is, especially how thin the margins are between Trump and Kamala.
00:07:51.000I think JD did a really good job in positioning Trump as more of a moderate, and it was a very civil discussion.
00:07:59.000They agreed on a lot of points, and I think that was very important to counter what I consider the failure of Trump in the last debate.
00:08:05.000So I think it had more of an impact than a lot of people are making it out to be.
00:08:11.000I agree. You know, but the question is, I see this meme.
00:08:14.000It's actually pretty good. It's a Venn diagram and it says people who care enough about politics to watch a VP debate.
00:08:20.000And then all the other side, it says undecided voters.
00:08:22.000Yes. So how much of the needle is getting moved?
00:08:25.000I think the important thing for undecided voters is that most headlines are struggling to make J.D. Vance the same kind of villain that they often portray Trump as.
00:08:35.000I mean, you could tell that Walz was flustered because he expected a really aggressive kind of name throwing, like a Trump light, so to speak, on that stage.
00:08:51.000And I think he is effective in explaining his arguments.
00:08:54.000I mean, whether that's just because he always has been good at this or because he put the time in during debate prep, he was really able to articulate policies, positions in a way that neither Harris nor Walz could.
00:09:34.000I just got to say, you know, first, I am very optimistic about 2028.
00:09:39.000If Trump and Vance end up winning, Vance looks to be a stable guy who can be that stable guy for the American public that they're looking for in a Trump presidency.
00:09:49.000If they win, I feel like they can pull us out of this tailspin.
00:09:52.000And then 2028, with J.D. Vance as the head of the Republican Party and taking over this MAGA thing, he proved last night just how incredible he can be on that debate stage and how inspirational he can be.
00:10:06.000I'm deeply inspired and impressed by this guy.
00:10:09.000I had not seen this before in my lifetime.
00:10:11.000I feel like that's the best debate performance I've ever seen.
00:10:13.000Now, I think it balances out Trump as well.
00:10:15.000I think he's going to play a key role in this debate moving forward until 2028.
00:11:48.000Let's try and be as nice as we can what did he mean by this and I'm sitting here thinking like Could he have meant I have become friends with the families of the victims of school shooters But look misspeaking is not Ripping out a huge portion of the sentence if he said I've become friends with school snoozers. I'd like oh he misspoke He meant something else, but he said he's friends with school shooters You don't accidentally misspeak missing several words.
00:12:16.000And here's, look at this, from the Daily Mail.
00:13:37.000I was talking about meeting people where there are school shooters.
00:13:40.000So he goes out in town and goes to school shooters.
00:13:42.000Underneath it says, Walsh noted that he met members of Congress with parents with, as a member of Congress, met with the parents of children killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.
00:13:51.000And I get that because I'm like, there's no way he literally meant that.
00:13:55.000Maybe he said, maybe he meant like he went to a jail and like met one of these kids and was trying to understand why they were so distraught or whatever the issue was.
00:14:02.000Saying he's friends with David Hogg who survived a school shooting?
00:14:05.000He's calling David Hogg a school shooter.
00:14:54.000Look, I get it. We all assumed that maybe he was trying to say friends with the victims of.
00:15:00.000But this guy, I will tell you right now, I still feel like it's disqualifying and more in an opinion and biased sense than like an actual legal.
00:15:08.000Come on, of course not. But I'm saying, bro, if you want to be the vice president and you accidentally say you're friends with school shooters, this falls into the same camp as when Joe Biden called Syria Libya.
00:15:17.000And he was at a G7 meeting and he's saying something about our operation, our military in Libya and things like this.
00:15:25.000And it's like, you know, if you're in the situation room and you tell everybody we need military action in Libya and they say, you sure?
00:15:33.000And he's like, yes, OK. And you meant the wrong country.
00:15:36.000That matters. And if you're vice president and you say something like this.
00:15:42.000I can't imagine what's going to happen when he says this.
00:15:46.000I'm imagining someone in the administration and he says, let's go help out these school shooters or something.
00:15:53.000And then they're like, can you clarify that for me?
00:15:55.000Did you mean he's like, no. They're like, okay.
00:15:59.000If he's going to misspeak to this degree, refuse to clarify it, then give some really weak response.
00:16:03.000I'm just like, dude, you're not ready for this job.
00:16:05.000Yeah, I think I'm a bit confused why he didn't clarify it the first time around.
00:16:09.000When they asked him, did he just ignore them?
00:16:10.000Did he ignore the reporters the first time they asked him?
00:16:12.000He got asked twice and he ignores them.
00:16:14.000Yeah. He could have just been like, excuse me?
00:16:17.000I'm sorry. Well, I must have made a mistake.
00:16:19.000I meant to say. And that would have been it.
00:16:21.000It would have been over. And everyone would be like, we get it.
00:16:23.000But the ignoring it made a whole day news cycle of him saying these things.
00:16:26.000The long story short of this, this dude got cooked by J.D. Vance.
00:16:30.000Cooked. Cooked. And he wasn't prepared to offer a counter defense that wasn't just based on personal attacks.
00:16:37.000I think you saw that throughout the debate.
00:16:39.000He would give these statements like Donald Trump did this and you should be scared of the things they're going to do.
00:16:45.000Very negative. And then you would get these very calm...
00:16:48.000Sort of respectful answers that didn't agree or sometimes did point out where they had common ground from J.D. Vance, who just seemed to be in his element.
00:16:57.000I mean, Walls really wanted it to be about name-calling and he never got that chance and therefore he did not know how to counter what was going on.
00:17:04.000He even got hostile with the moderators at one point and J.D. Vance never did, even though he's theoretically the one who's like anti-woman or whatever.
00:17:11.000Just going back to the comment as well.
00:17:32.000In terms of political strategy, J.D. Vance masterclass.
00:17:36.000I'll tell you this. J.D. Vance ignoring that Tim Woltz said this was the smartest move he could make.
00:17:44.000So when your opponent says something that is overtly incorrect on the debate stage, if you challenge them, you give them an out.
00:17:52.000They immediately respond with, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that.
00:17:54.000What I meant to say was this. He says it.
00:17:57.000J.D. Vance says, I ain't gonna say nothing.
00:17:58.000Why? The news media is gonna stew on this for 24 hours and But if he responds with Governor Walz, you just say you were friends with school shooters.
00:19:45.000But any reasonable human who watched that debate, I mean, look at the photo they chose.
00:19:50.000There's no way that Politico, again, for those that are listening, it's J.D. Vance looking over like a normal dude, and Tim Waltz sitting there like a deer in the headlights with his eye.
00:20:01.000And the frown he's making, it's weird.
00:20:04.000I don't know why they chose that photo, but I feel like any reasonable person who watched the debate would not conclude that Tim Waltz won.
00:20:13.000I think what's interesting is the media has decided – like when I was watching mainstream post breakdowns of this, the thing that they lead with was J.D. Vance struggled to condemn Trump's statements on the last election, right?
00:20:29.00090 minutes in, that's where Walls finally got him.
00:20:33.000But the thing is, for the first 90 minutes, and I would say even after that, Vance ran circles around Walls.
00:20:41.000They're saying that Walls being able to say, that's an outright liar, whatever he said, that's the big gotcha moment.
00:20:49.000But really, J.D. Vance had Walls on his heels the whole night.
00:20:54.000And I think the other point that they're sort of giving to Walls, I don't think totally fairly, is talks about abortion.
00:21:00.000Because they're always going to say that the Democrat handled that better.
00:21:03.000But I actually think J.D. Vance talking about, we need to win Americans' trust on this issue, and we need to be a full stop pro-family party, was one of the best moments of the debate, and I think of this political season.
00:21:17.000I mean, he is really redefining issues that conservatives have struggled to speak about in a way that wins confidence from voters.
00:21:24.000Right. And I think the risk there is, you know, maybe it appealed to moderates.
00:21:27.000That's been the play from the Trump campaign for the past several months is, you know, start to pivot on abortion, go back to, you know, let the states handle it.
00:21:33.000But the question is, what kind of effect is it going to have on the pro-life evangelicals and Catholics who show up to the polls?
00:21:38.000And basically, there's a huge percentage of evangelicals who show up just to vote against abortion.
00:21:42.000And I saw one poll from Barnard that said participation this year from evangelicals is going down from 61% to 50%.
00:21:48.000So there's some kind of effect this rhetoric is having.
00:21:50.000On the willingness of evangelicals to show up and vote.
00:21:53.000And if they think there's not a pro-life candidate, they're not going to do it.
00:21:55.000Check out this clip. This is going viral.
00:23:13.000No one thinks this is—I mean, it feels deeply intentional what they're doing.
00:23:16.000I genuinely believe they are allowing illegal immigrants to come in specifically to fill jobs numbers because they're worried about the economy.
00:23:23.000The economy is about to implode because of the dock workers' strike, and there's no escape for them on this one.
00:23:30.000There's this report from AP News that five Chinese nationals were just charged for sneaking onto a military base at night.
00:23:40.000They were students at the University of Michigan at the time, or Michigan State University.
00:23:45.000And so theoretically, they're here on a student visa.
00:23:47.000On the other hand, this concern that, like, we don't know who's coming to the country and we don't know if they're staying, if they're going, if they have good intentions or bad, after...
00:23:56.000You know, years and years and years of this compounding, I think that, you know, Americans are really looking for someone who's going to take their concerns seriously, saying, well, if you talk about this, you're racist or you're not compassionate.
00:24:07.000That isn't enough for Americans anymore.
00:24:09.000I think they're past that point. They want to feel like they're safe in their communities.
00:24:13.000I think the polls are fake. I think everybody thinks the polls are fake for the most part.
00:24:17.000But how could you have people claiming Walt's won this one?
00:24:20.000Yeah, any rational person who's seen him get flabbergasted, his big ol' eyes.
00:24:25.000I mean, they're very passionate eyes, because they're really big and round.
00:24:27.000Okay, Politico. But yeah, any rational person who watches that and sees him every minute, every time he talked, get more flabbergasted as the day went on.
00:24:38.000But you have to understand these debates depend.
00:25:09.000But I don't think it's enough to say Tim Walz was even close to JD Vance in terms of performance.
00:25:16.000So that's the only explanation that I have.
00:25:18.000Do you think these polls are evidence of confirmation bias?
00:25:21.000Do you think the people that were asked went in knowing that they were going to say, you know, Republican or Democrat, that's who I think was?
00:25:27.000I think the only way those polls would not fall prey to confirmation bias is if there was someone that was, you know, won by a landslide.
00:25:35.000That means, you know, I think here that was pretty close.
00:27:19.000You know, what I find myself thinking about is in the last debate with Trump and Harris, I think they had two different objectives.
00:27:26.000Like they had two different things they need to accomplish.
00:27:28.000And for Kamala Harris, that was selling herself to independent voters as someone with a real personality and real beliefs and also real policies.
00:27:48.000But Walls has to fight this idea that he is just this brash, evil, mean man that whatever is going to be out there.
00:27:55.000And Walls has to develop kind of a backbone.
00:27:57.000And I don't think he did, but I think Vance did define himself on the national stage in a really successful way.
00:28:02.000I just want to say, because I mentioned this the other night during the debate, that I feel a lot of Americans watched that and wished they were the presidential candidates.
00:28:10.000Yes. I like Trump, but I was not an OG Trump guy, and a lot of big Trump supporters are critical of me for that.
00:28:18.000But I do think Trump is the better option, and he was a net positive president.
00:29:06.000If this is what we can get moving forward and they call that Midwestern kindness...
00:29:10.000I'm pretty optimistic that we can get things to calm down a little bit.
00:29:13.000I think it's very important. It does make Trump more presidential having a VP like J.D. Vance.
00:29:18.000I think we should really focus on that a bit more.
00:29:21.000And I think it will change the sentiment around Trump.
00:29:23.000Because one of the main reasons me and Tim were talking about this earlier is that why, despite Elon endorsing Trump, despite Tulsi, despite Kennedy endorsing Trump, the polls are still razor thin.
00:30:39.000But Politico says, when Waltz felt especially passionate about something, he'd open his eyes wide as saucers.
00:30:50.000Eye-popping can sometimes be a sign of surprise, but for Waltz, it simply revealed his emotional intensity.
00:30:59.000Like this moment during an exchange about abortion, the orbicularis oculi muscle, working in concert with the corrugator and frontalis muscles, contract to raise the eyebrows, a dynamic and emphatic facial motion that grabbed the viewer's attention.
00:31:17.000Early humans would have made such facial gestures to communicate strong emotions, like danger is close. For Waltz, it gave extra weight to his feelings and held our gaze.
00:31:26.000I guarantee you the writer in the newsroom who was instructed by the editor to write that was crying the whole time and they had a bottle of Jack that they were swinging down because they knew what they were writing was the most absurd piece of garbage they've ever been tasked with writing.
00:31:38.000This was written, I think, by a body language expert who apparently has consulted for the FBI. I mean, this is not good.
00:31:45.000I actually think this line is pretty telling because as soon as he's like, early humans would have said this was a sign of danger, meaning that Waltz is standing there panicking.
00:32:58.000But I have – I actually think the beard is sort of in – I mean, number one, I actually think it's to cover up the fact that he's kind of a baby face.
00:33:05.000But two, because beard is the contour of men.
00:33:08.000You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And two, I actually think in some ways it's an ode to his Appalachian ties.
00:33:14.000I have never seen so many beards, especially like long, full beards, as when I moved to West Virginia.
00:33:23.000And so in some ways, he's actually just kind of honoring his heritage in a much more, you know, clean-cut, shaven way.
00:33:29.000Again, I actually think the reason J.D. Vance has a beard is because he has a baby face and it's the makeup for men.
00:33:34.000But in this case, I don't think that – I think this idea that somehow a beard is to signal that he is anti-feminism is sort of ludicrous.
00:33:44.000I think this is very much grasping at straw.
00:33:47.000Ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly why mainstream media is struggling right now.
00:33:51.000If you're looking for examples, that's a perfect example.
00:33:53.000And in the meantime, I looked up two studies.
00:33:56.000One by the University of Queensland, if they want to stick to facts.
00:33:59.000A thousand American women, majority of them prefer beards.
00:34:02.000They found men with more facial hair more attractive.
00:34:05.000Another one by whatsyourprice.com survey, because so many people care about this.
00:34:09.0002,500 women, over 60% of them found facial hair attractive.
00:34:13.000So there's some numbers here. It's like women like masculine men.
00:34:24.000And look, I know I tweeted this out and people are looking at it and I'm going to get a bunch of Democrats mad at me for posting this.
00:34:30.000This is an actual screen grab that Politico.com posted on their article about this and all I did was screen grab a photo of the man's face.
00:34:39.000I didn't say anything. Be mad at political.
00:34:42.000But it would only be fair if I show you J.D. Vance.
00:34:45.000So take a look at this. You can see there's old J.D. with the beard.
00:34:48.000And I want to tell you why he's wearing the beard.
00:34:50.000Do you guys want to see why he's wearing the beard?
00:34:52.000Yes. Okay, here's a picture of J.D. Vance.
00:34:56.000That's, and to be fair, he's a little chubbier.
00:34:58.000Yeah, it looks like he lost weight since then.
00:35:00.000And it's on, what is it, the subreddit, 30, 13 or 30?
00:35:35.000I think it shows you how much our country hates men, where this political writer is annoyed by the fact that somebody has a beard.
00:35:40.000And this would have been... I mean, if you look at just pictures of the presidents for most of our history, most of them had beards, probably about half of them, from what I remember.
00:35:47.000But, yeah, I mean, right now the Democrats are upholding Doug Emhoff, who, you know, is now...
00:35:53.000A new story came out today saying that he punched a girlfriend or something to that effect.
00:35:56.000And Tim Walz. These are these, you know, paragons of masculinity.
00:36:00.000And these are who we should... From the Midwest, you know, who's 40 years old, has three kids and a wife and is happily married and has a normal set of relationships.
00:36:09.000I just want to point out this fake body language stuff.
00:36:19.000But you see these YouTube videos where there'll be like some dude I'm watching Biden with the volume turned down, and he'll just be like, Joe here is raising his right hand.
00:36:27.000That indicates that he's being dishonest.
00:36:30.000And if you look at his face, that's not a real smile.
00:36:32.000And people love and eat this stuff up, which is why Politico is now doing it.
00:36:36.000They're bringing on—what is this— Author of the international bestseller, What Everybody Is Saying, An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed Reading People and the Dictionary of Body Language.
00:37:33.000You've just got to look at how it deviates from the norm, how they've been acting the entire time, how they usually act and what changes throughout the debate.
00:37:40.000So if someone, if he's always pointing, pointing, pointing, pointing, and then let's say J.D. Vance says something or Tim Walsh says something, and then he doesn't point or points downwards, then you can comment on that.
00:37:51.000But just like, hey, he pointed, he means this, or his eyes mean that.
00:37:55.000That's just entertainment, as you said, pseudoscience.
00:37:57.000In the first debate, Trump was asked about his comments like Kamala Harris sometimes chooses to be black and sometimes chooses to be Indian.
00:38:05.000He responded to that. And then he gave whatever answer and they turned to her and they said, do you want to respond?
00:38:13.000It was the deviation that stood out to me because she before had sort of been posturing as her lady boss.
00:38:18.000She knew at times to put up her hand or then take it back down, whatever.
00:38:21.000But that was the one where she looked truly uncomfortable.
00:38:24.000I think you're totally right. Wanting to be like, well, he has a beard and this guy opened his eyes wide is actually kind of running cover for the issue that you're trying to portray, which is like that JD Vance is a mean man and Tim Wallace is a sensitive sweetie.
00:38:36.000It's also sad. Like this was a very civil discussion about, you know, important topics.
00:38:40.000Yeah, they put out a whole article about their body language.
00:38:42.000I just think they're focusing. Look at this one. How was Beard?
00:38:45.000Vance let a little frown give him away.
00:38:48.000When Waltz brought up Project 2025, Vance exhibited a little tell that carried a big message.
00:38:54.000A slight squinting of the eyes and a small frown. Clearly this was a sore subject. When we hear something we're unhappy or uncomfortable with, the negative emotion flashes over our face exactly as we saw here. We have to guard against such behaviors, blah blah blah. It's because he's lying. It's because JD Vance is thinking he is lying.
00:40:10.000We got a lot of debate news. Here you go from Postmanal.
00:40:13.000MSNBC's Nicole Wallace claims women object to J.D. Vance's mansplaining immigration during debate after a female moderator offered false fact check.
00:40:23.000Quote, I actually think if you're a woman, that might be the worst moment J.D. Vance had because he was going to mansplain right over that mute button.
00:40:42.000But here's the clip. And I actually think if you're a woman, that might be the worst moment J.D. Vance had, because he was going to mansplain right over that mute button.
00:40:53.000And again, I don't pretend to know how everyone will react to this.
00:40:57.000I think that a lot of women in positions of authority that should command respect just by virtue of that dynamic will see themselves as some dude that disrespected them and talked over.
00:41:08.000I mean, there was a moment like that with the vice presidential in the Harris-Pence field.
00:41:13.000This is really interesting in the perspective of the feminist girl boss, because it is not true of all women.
00:41:19.000It is, in my experience, specifically these chip-on-their-shoulder women.
00:41:24.000J.D. Vance, if he were to argue with a man, and he literally did with Tim Walz, they never accused him of mansplaining when he would interject or start talking over Tim Walz, which happened, I think, two or three times.
00:41:36.000But if it's the moderator breaking the rules, and he says, you're breaking the rules, let me clarify, you see her reaction, oh, a woman, how dare he?
00:41:45.000Are you kidding, lady? Stop being so fragile, okay?
00:41:49.000Sometimes you're wrong, and sometimes people want to argue.
00:41:52.000If you're a woman or a man, it doesn't matter.
00:41:54.000But there are these liberal mindset girl boss women who think that any time a man has a disagreement, it's because she's a woman.
00:42:00.000Mm-hmm. I actually think this comment makes it look like she thought the female moderators were weak and couldn't handle J.D. Vance.
00:42:07.000Right. Or being like, look, he just talked over to them and I must defend them means that they somehow mishandled this situation.
00:42:13.000But it's so unfair. It's so unfair to J.D. Vance.
00:42:58.000He waited until he was like, look, this is a big deal.
00:43:00.000You're challenging me on immigration in Ohio.
00:43:02.000Yeah. I'm going to throw this one out to all the men out there who are just – they want to hear this.
00:43:07.000Let me tell you the facts of this story.
00:43:10.000J.D. Vance was having a discussion on immigration issues.
00:43:14.000The female moderator interjected incorrectly.
00:43:19.000J.D. Vance said, first, you broke the rules that we agreed upon, but I will clarify.
00:43:24.000She got angry and began talking over him, and then on, what was this, MSNBC's Nicole Wallace gets offended that he dared try to correct Owen who was wrong.
00:43:34.000I wonder how many husbands are out there going like, I know exactly what that's like.
00:43:39.000I just don't like the idea that women are like, yeah, we can do everything a man can do, but you can't tell us if we're wrong because then you're mansplaining.
00:43:47.000If they're so good and girl bossy, why does this lady need to come out and defend what happened there?
00:43:52.000I mean, either they could or couldn't handle the moment, and I think JD Vance was justified.
00:43:57.000I think it's really fragile of them to claim that this was a bad moment for J.D. Vance.
00:44:01.000I would have assumed the January 6th questions or something on his abortion response when he was like pro-family.
00:44:08.000If you want to be mad about that, fine.
00:44:09.000But in this case, you're saying that these girlboss moderators did a bad job.
00:44:13.000like that seems disloyal to the Klan. I think they had nothing to criticize him on.
00:44:17.000He was calm, he was nice, he was apologetic. On the issue of abortion, talk about a masterclass.
00:44:23.000I cannot praise this man enough. He said, you know, we've got to earn the trust back of these women that, you know, we want to help. We want to help families. We want to make life better. All of these things. And it was a brilliant response. His response Let me just break this down.
00:44:40.000It's a tough question for Republicans.
00:44:49.000He went back and forth. J.D. Vance knows it's a negative and Republicans are looked down on the issue.
00:44:54.000So he turns it around by saying, we're going to earn your trust back, which is him acknowledging it's a bad issue for Republicans, but that's him saying, we're going to earn your trust back is, we do have plans to help you and we want you to, we want to prove it to you.
00:45:11.000When you see that kind of debate performance, what do they have to get mad about other than he tried to clarify a point on illegal immigration?
00:45:18.000And he has a beard. I wanted to look at the exact quote as well.
00:45:23.000Just going back to the mansplaining things.
00:45:31.000And objectively, anyone listening, especially women, let me know what you think objectively of what he said.
00:45:35.000The rules were that you guys weren't going to fact check.
00:45:38.000And since you are fact checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on.
00:45:43.000I don't find that to be condescending.
00:45:45.000I don't find that to be disrespectful or patronizing.
00:45:50.000I'll put that behind because I'm really a bit annoyed by it.
00:45:52.000Regarding the abortion, I think it was one of the best performances.
00:45:55.000I know it's a very tough topic for him.
00:45:58.000And the way he's kind of self-criticized, he's very, very self-critical about it.
00:46:03.000And I think he's just very, in my opinion, authentic about it.
00:46:08.000I know Tim Walsh didn't do bad there as well, putting him on the spot.
00:46:12.000I think J.D. Vance's response there was one of the highlights for me.
00:46:15.000Yeah, it's been disappointing, though, to see over the past couple of years.
00:46:17.000So even Mike Pence was more overtly pro-life.
00:46:20.000I think Vance had a throwaway line in there saying, you know, I support life.
00:46:25.000Something to that effect. But if you look at the way that the GOP is trending on abortion, it's pretty negative in the sense that now J.D. Vance, a few months ago, came out and said that he's for the abortion pills, which is the way that two-thirds of abortions now happen.
00:46:37.000So You know, cards on the table, I'm about as anti-abortion as you can get as a Christian and a Republican.
00:46:43.000And I look at that and I hear people talking about that, you know, in my personal life, not even just people who are as far in that issue as I am, but just like average, everyday, pro-life Catholic, something like that.
00:46:51.000And they're saying, you know, the GOP is losing me on this one.
00:46:55.000I'm curious though, J.D. Vance's response was largely, we want to make it so that women who have unintended pregnancies do not feel as though abortion is their only option, which really has become the talking point from Democrats, right?
00:47:07.000Like, you're trapped with this man in this relationship you don't like.
00:47:11.000J.D. Vance referenced a friend who had been in an abusive relationship to have an abortion.
00:47:16.000Or the economic challenges of young families or young couples trying to buy houses or support these families is part of the obligation of pro-life Americans to win back people on the idea that family is good and that bringing a child into the world, even if it's not under ideal circumstances, is worth doing? I also think for the right, there's a very important consideration in that a large reason women get abortions is because they feel like they do not have support in having these kids, and it's the fault of men.
00:47:43.000We have a cultural problem that is not just men, not just women.
00:47:47.000It is a social development issue for us.
00:47:50.000and i i i don't i want to put singular blame on anyone for people are generation housing is too expensive young people need better paying jobs gen z needs bill to get houses we need young men to learn what it is to be a man and be responsible to the women that they are with and women need to know if they're with a man that that that man is going to help take care of that child because that's that's what jd vance pointed out that he knew a woman
00:48:19.000she was in an abusive relationship and she was she was scared that if you had a kid she have no support in this guy was gonna be really bad and i don't i don't know that i appreciate that reason for terminating a pregnancy but jd vance makes a great point that you certainly have to overcome that hurdle if we're going to win trust back Yeah, so I've been to Kenya a couple of times.
00:48:36.000So this is back when I was in high school, early college.
00:48:38.000And the way that they view children was one of the first things I noticed about their culture, where they unconditionally see children as a blessing.
00:48:43.000So I was spending a lot of time in the slums in Kenya, and their mothers, they were with several kids, and they were like, you know...
00:48:48.000My children are the best. So I think it's actually really a cultural problem and spiritual problem we have in the United States where even though we are one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and obviously it's gotten worse over the past few years, people see it as a legitimate option just murdering your child at the abortion mill or with the abortion pills.
00:49:02.000And I don't think that statements like this are helpful at all in reverse in that culture.
00:49:06.000I think there's a sense in which our politicians and our laws actually catechize the culture, and I think they ought to be fostering life.
00:49:13.000You know, Vance had some ways in doing that.
00:49:15.000I think there's a good debate to have about social policy, you know, supporting, you know, mothers who, you know, with maternity leave, stuff like that.
00:49:22.000You can talk about all that. But, you know, in terms of...
00:49:25.000You have to also address the elephant in the room, which is the fact that we're back to over a million abortions every single year.
00:49:29.000I think... We see that on the surface.
00:49:32.000And I think it's important to ask what is causing it.
00:49:34.000And it's not just that young men are not growing up and taking responsibility.
00:49:38.000It's also because there are young women who are raised in a culture that tells them don't have kids right now and who cares if you get an abortion.
00:49:45.000So we need to reinstill in our young people.
00:49:49.000Pride, responsibility, and hard work, right?
00:49:54.000And that means that, hey look, if you want to have a relationship and it results in a pregnancy, take responsibility, both of you, and have a kid, and kids are good things, but that needs to be the general idea that is ingrained in people.
00:50:07.000I think too much right now, it's permanent adolescence.
00:50:10.000Young men are like, I can play video games.
00:50:12.000I can drink beer and go with my friends.
00:50:13.000I got no responsibilities. I think it was Pete Buttigieg who said this.
00:50:17.000He was like, men are freer when abortion is available.
00:50:21.000So... I think it's not just that we have all this abortion.
00:50:25.000Ron Paul said it great. It shouldn't be illegal.
00:50:27.000It should be unthinkable. And that's the very libertarian approach.
00:50:30.000I like that because socially we should say a woman should never have to deal with the thought that she's in trouble.
00:50:44.000I like the trust comment because what I took from it was so far Democrats have successfully sold to you that losing your right to have an abortion means that you're about to lose health care and fertility treatments and all of these things.
00:51:00.000They made it not just about the singular act of abortion but about generally a threat to women's wellness overall.
00:51:05.000And I think what's interesting about choosing the words like we want to win back your trust is to say you don't need to look at our policies in fear.
00:51:14.000Like if you were in a culture that said we value life over anything else and your community is going to rally around you if you have a pregnancy in a circumstance that's maybe not ideal for you, then it makes it less about what you are losing and the danger you are hypothetically putting yourself in to being like, okay, this isn't maybe what I was going to do, but I can handle this.
00:51:33.000I know that there's a much more optimistic and confident message.
00:51:36.000And I do think, you know, I obviously, I mean, I would hope that no woman is in a position where she feels like abortion is the best solution for a pregnancy that she didn't want.
00:51:47.000On the other hand, I do think that this is one of the areas that the pro-life movement hasn't been agile enough because they allow the conversation to always be in response to this attacking position.
00:51:59.000They are the scary monsters and they need to kind of bring themselves out to closets and say, no, we're actually just your neighbors.
00:52:04.000We're trying to help you. I think this is one last thing I'd say here is because I was with President Novak from Hungary just a few days ago talking about population collapse.
00:52:12.000I know it's completely not off topic, but it goes back to the point.
00:52:15.000This is a cultural issue, not only in the US, you know, the high abortion rates, you know, women not wanting to have kids, even men not wanting to have kids.
00:52:21.000And, you know, we had a very personal discussion, did an interview with her as well, Stephen Shaw.
00:52:28.000And I think this issue will gain more and more traction.
00:52:31.000Just the whole approach to having children and people thinking it's just already too many people on the planet was not able to have kids.
00:52:38.000If you have kids, you can't, you know, achieve much in your careers, either your career or having a family.
00:52:44.000I think the world is going to wake up to that problem impacting the US, impacting Europe, impacting Asia, even you mentioned – not Rwanda, you mentioned Kenya.
00:52:52.000Even Africa is going to head down that path and, of course, Latin America.
00:52:56.000So I think it's going to end up being a much bigger issue.
00:52:58.000Real quick, do you think it's going to be too late?
00:53:01.000We're already there within this century.
00:53:03.000Numbers were insane. There's a reason Elon talks about it all the time.
00:53:06.000So she launched a foundation and she talked to Elon about it as well.
00:53:47.000But there's never been a time in history where that was successfully reversed.
00:53:52.000Now President Novak, the reason she's getting a lot of traction, she probably had performed the best with her country Hungary.
00:53:58.000That was one of the worst countries. She improved it by about 30%.
00:54:01.000So she tested a few strategies, but there's no one strategy that works, which makes it a pretty scary problem.
00:54:07.000I remember when Elon was posting about it all the time.
00:54:09.000I'm like, why is Elon talking about this?
00:54:10.000And I ignored it. There's already too many people in the world, and yet it's the complete opposite.
00:54:15.000Well, I will say population collapse is a more complicated detriment than people realize.
00:54:22.000One thing I would advocate for right now is reassessment of current human allocation.
00:54:29.000So we got a lot of people on this planet.
00:54:31.000But we got a lot of people who aren't as efficient as they can be.
00:54:34.000The body positivity movement where you got, you know, people gorging themselves and doing these YouTube videos where they just eat endlessly until they get sick.
00:54:41.000You know, there was a woman, I think, in South Korea who ate so much for her live stream, her stomach ruptured and she died.
00:54:46.000Jesus. This is inefficient use of human energy.
00:54:49.000But don't get me wrong, humans are free to do kind of whatever they want, but there's got to be, I don't know, certain limitations if someone's doing this harmful stuff.
00:54:56.000The issue with population is that the more people we have, the more specialties we have.
00:55:54.000A spaceship might take 10,000 specialty positions because the more science we develop, the more specific an individual task has to be.
00:56:02.000That means we need dramatically more human beings and population is collapsing.
00:56:07.000We lose population, we are going to lose technology and we're going to wonder how we had spaceships in the first place.
00:56:13.000This is why I think Elon is 100% correct.
00:56:16.000And I'm a huge fan because he's building spaceships, trying to colonize Mars, working on bringing back free speech, telecommunications, electric cars.
00:56:24.000I'm like, dang, this guy is doing it all.
00:56:25.000So he's an African-American colonizer.
00:56:30.000But let's jump to this story, though, from Politico.
00:56:33.000Harrison Trump taking America first tone on dock workers strike.
00:56:38.000Foreign shipping companies that dominate seaborne trade draw bipartisan criticism at U.S. ports.
00:56:44.000They say Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are so far taking the same side in the strike by East and Gulf Coast longshoremen speaking up for the American workers against the foreign-owned shipping companies that control ports in the U.S. The fact that major political leaders from both parties are taking aim at the European and Asian-based shipping companies represent an early political victory for the dock workers.
00:57:04.000Quote, American workers should be able to negotiate for better wages, especially since the shipping companies are mostly foreign flag vessels, including the largest consortium one.
00:57:14.000Trump said in a statement on Tuesday evening, the Singapore based one is the sixth largest shipping company in the world.
00:57:20.000Harris also sounded a message sympathetic to the port workers on Wednesday, despite the risk that an extended strike could trigger price spikes and commodity shortages that would imperil her chances of defeating Donald Trump.
00:57:51.000Trump, not so much. Trump's going to come out and say, keep it up, boys.
00:57:54.000We wish you the best. Why? The strike is good for Trump. I mean, it's brutal, but this is going to negatively impact the economy under Kamala Harris's watch, and that will benefit a challenging campaign. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden could come out and what is it, the Taft-Hartley Act, I think, I'm not sure. Taft-Hartley. Right, where they could basically say, get back to work or else.
00:58:17.000But if he did that, the unions are all in this country going to be like, we're voting Trump, and they already may be.
00:58:22.000The only thing Harris can do is support them while it tanks the economy and hurts our chance at winning this election.
00:58:29.000That, you know, it's such a tight election.
00:58:32.000Anything could make a difference. And this could genuinely make a big difference.
00:58:35.000Just to kind of point out, 43% of all imports get through these ports on the East Coast.
00:58:40.000Wow. The ones impacted by the strikes.
00:58:47.000That impacts everything from cherries, alcohol, home appliances, the auto industry.
00:58:51.000And as you said, Tim, like, Kamala's in a very tough spot.
00:58:54.000Because on one side, you've got Lee, or Biden, the Taft-Harley Act.
00:58:58.000But if he does that, 90%, this year is 85%, but generally it's 90% of the donations by the unions are Democrat, 90%.
00:59:08.000So if he invokes the Taft-Hardley Act, which I think George Bush did in 2002, I think it was.
00:59:16.000That could backfire on him really badly.
00:59:18.000But at the same time, if he does not reach a resolution, and just to point out, I think as far as I'm aware, the Longshoremen Union has not yet endorsed Kamala.
00:59:30.000Usually they do, which kind of makes it even tougher for Kamala now.
00:59:35.000So I don't know how she could solve this.
00:59:37.000And this could end up, you know, they could bring, you know, the ports on the West Coast could try to compensate for that.
01:00:01.000I saw $4.5 billion from JP Morgan today.
01:00:04.000So give it a few days, you're not really going to feel it, but give it a few weeks and cars aren't on the lots and then you're really going to feel it.
01:03:15.000Early voting is happening now, but it does seem like we may be on track for a Donald Trump victory with a Kamala Harris popular vote margin victory.
01:03:36.000We have Tennessee. We have Florida. We have the huge hurricanes.
01:03:38.000And they're going to start losing supplies.
01:03:40.000And it's going to be terrible for them if they don't come back to start working.
01:03:43.000So I don't know who's going to do that.
01:03:46.000Automation is one of the big issues for the longshoremen.
01:03:48.000They want guarantees in their contract.
01:03:50.000They're not going to get replaced by robots.
01:03:51.000And they're not going to give it to them. Right.
01:03:54.000And actually, one of the complaints they had is that despite their demands for contract guarantees, these companies have been bringing the robots in anyway.
01:04:01.000You look at China, they're already automated.
01:04:13.000That being said, I don't believe we should punish the workers.
01:04:16.000We need to find a soft landing for people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
01:04:21.000Yeah, public perception is an interesting phenomenon, because over the past decade or so, unions have surged to, I think, the highest public popularity in a long time.
01:04:29.000So it could be interesting to see if they're viewed as selfish, if that could start to reverse.
01:04:34.000Right now, unions are in a strong position.
01:04:36.000But I agree, long term, it's got to be automation.
01:04:38.000I mean, it's hard to imagine in 2100 that, with the technology currently intact, that we're still going to be having these handful of union guys unloading all the boats.
01:04:46.000And again, I I think it's interesting that it reflects fears that probably, like, long-haul truck drivers have and other industries that...
01:05:06.000You know, hypothetically, there is a way to automate the job into, you know, automate them out of a job.
01:05:13.000Maybe that's not happening in the next two years.
01:05:21.000This is the industry they go into and to think that they are going to Yes.
01:05:28.000I can see that being a big issue, something that you would be willing to say, I know we have crisis right now, but we feel like this is our argument issue, more so than the wages. I've heard the wages things before, that they have high wages, so what are they arguing about? But they do say, you know, West Coast has higher.
01:05:44.000Yes, yeah, but they want wages even higher than West Coast.
01:05:47.000I think they want a 77% hike, which means they'll be higher paid than the West Coast.
01:05:53.000No sure if that's a negotiation tactic.
01:05:55.000I assume it's in part negotiation, right?
01:05:57.000You're not going to ask for exactly what you want.
01:05:58.000Philadelphia is only 25K, it says, per Brave AI. 25K a year, which is 4% less than national average, is nothing.
01:06:06.00025K is zero. Hey, look, these guys go on strike.
01:06:09.000What if the company is just bringing the robots?
01:06:11.000Okay, you guys are on strike. Robots, come on in.
01:06:13.000Take their jobs. You can strike as long as you want.
01:06:16.000If they could do it quickly, but it takes time.
01:06:21.000I think eventually robots have to take their place.
01:06:23.000Otherwise, the U.S. will no longer be competitive.
01:06:25.000I think that's long term. But what I'm really contemplating is how big of an impact this will have in five weeks' time.
01:06:32.000I'm worried about the disaster zones too, man.
01:06:35.000We need to worry about those folks. Yeah.
01:06:37.000Especially if they have to wait five weeks for the result because then they actually are waiting like, what, ten weeks for the goods to finally get to them?
01:06:42.000The government's already effing them over. But here's a simple one.
01:06:45.000It's time to stop being so reliant on imports and we need to make sure that we're doing as much as we can here at home.
01:07:26.000He got it. But JD Vance said, you know, if you are really concerned about the environment, you would want U.S. manufacturing to move back to the U.S. because we have the cleanest economy.
01:07:36.000Like, we hold ourselves to standards that other nations don't.
01:07:38.000And I feel similarly about shippings and goods.
01:07:40.000Like, if you are concerned about being dependent on international shippings, then we should want to buy domestically.
01:07:48.000Well, this is the way we operate, so we have to continue this system when really I think Americans are looking to say we are dependent on everyone but ourselves.
01:07:56.000Yeah, slight rabbit trail. So I was shocked at the debate last night where, you know, obviously they're going to ask about Khalid, but what they asked was not about, you know, do you think the federal government is helping the victims properly?
01:08:05.000They asked about what do you think this says about climate change?
01:08:08.000They didn't care at all about the actual people who were suffering.
01:08:10.000They're like, what about climate change? And I think Vance did a good job of making the human element back in, basically saying we're praying for the people who are down there and suffering and pivoting back to the manufacturing stuff.
01:08:20.000But I was just floored that the media didn't even care enough about Appalachia to say, ask one question about what do you think the federal government is doing a good job at helping them out?
01:08:29.000Well, we can't critique Biden because then we're critiquing Harris.
01:08:32.000And, you know, I thought CBS, other than a couple obvious moments, generally did better than the previous debate moderators.
01:08:38.000But, you know, they obviously can't risk Kamala Harris seeming like she didn't do a good job by not going down there.
01:08:45.000She's finally going to Georgia, I heard.
01:08:51.000Keeping all disasters at arm's length so you don't look like it's happening in your America, which is the nimbyism that put manufacturing somewhere else in the first place and caused all kinds of economic weakness.
01:12:11.000And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us because we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought to where they are today and they don't want to share!
01:13:11.000If you're saying, I don't appreciate that you're going to cripple us, the question should be like, did you vote Democrat last time?
01:13:16.000Because the only response to a strong negotiator is another strong negotiator.
01:13:20.000Shall we jump to the more scandalous of the stories of the day?
01:13:25.000From the post-millennial Doug Emhoff, for those that don't know, that's Kamala Harris' husband, accused by anonymous sources claiming to be friends to his ex of slapping his then-girlfriend in France in 22.
01:13:36.000It's kind of an awkward way to write the headline, so I'll give you the simple version.
01:13:40.000According to a Daily Mail exclusive with multiple sources, Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, slapped his ex-girlfriend for, quote, flirting with another man.
01:13:49.000But the story is actually, and it's been corroborated by numerous people, they say...
01:13:54.000He was on a date with someone at the Cannes Film Festival.
01:13:56.000She went to the valet to get her car pulled up and she put her hand on his shoulder.
01:14:02.000Emhoff then walked up, grabbed her by the shoulder and spun around and then just BAM! So hard in the face, she spun around.
01:14:09.000Then forced himself into her car as she was trying to flee.
01:14:50.000There was that other story where Doug Emhoff – and I think this is pretty much confirmed – that he had an affair with his children's nanny who was also a teacher at the school.
01:14:58.000But the other part was that allegedly what mitigated the divorce – or what spurred the divorce more than anything was that she got pregnant and the rumor is that he pressured her to have an abortion.
01:15:10.000Well, according to the story from the Daily Mail, she had a miscarriage and then he paid off a settlement of $80,000 with a non-disclosure agreement.
01:15:20.000According to friends, Emhoff did not say how he was allegedly responsible for the miscarriage, and he told Jane the nanny's claims were false.
01:15:37.000But the second gentleman allegedly confessed to Jane that he paid Naylor a settlement of around $80,000 and had the nanny sign a non-disclosure agreement.
01:15:45.000He was previously dubbed by Democrats as a wife guy and a mensch, a Yiddish term for an honorable kind man.
01:15:51.000He's also spoken out in media interviews about being an ally to him and against toxic masculinity.
01:15:56.000You know, look, when I read this and they say that he paid her 80 grand with an NDA and she accused him of causing a miscarriage, sounds more like he beat her.
01:17:44.000Seems like we've just scratched the surface.
01:17:45.000A lot of these male feminists actually have pretty bad histories with women.
01:17:49.000There's actually, I've noticed that over the past couple of years where a lot of these guys who are very woke in public and very pro-feminists are actually very bad to women.
01:17:57.000It seems like you shouldn't say, well, I'm, you know, anti-toxic masculinity because that's to tell that you are actually probably an untrustworthy man.
01:18:05.000Oh, yeah. I mean, for the past month, I've seen nothing in the media about Doug Emhoff except for these stories about him being this model man and propping up his wife and so forth.
01:18:37.000But either way, I think it will have, again, any small story could have an impact on the election in a few weeks' time.
01:18:45.000But also this stuff isn't getting talked about publicly.
01:18:47.000I mean to be fair, these are difficult things to confirm if no one is willing to say anything.
01:18:52.000On the other hand, this is not the way we treat Republicans, right?
01:18:56.000Like he is maybe getting a pass especially as the stories get more serious.
01:19:00.000They seem to indicate a level of violence that they didn't have before.
01:19:04.000You know, it's – One thing to sort of promote salacious gossip that he was unfaithful and that's why his marriage broke up.
01:19:11.000But to have this now developing suggested pattern of like very nefarious behavior, maybe manipulative or abusive behavior towards women, you know, you can't really be married to our girl boss feminist president and just turn a blind eye to that.
01:19:25.000It's difficult for the Kamala Harris to respond to without acknowledging the stories are present which they don't want to do.
01:19:30.000Well, I think it matters if the second gentleman who wants to be the first gentleman is a woman beater.
01:19:38.000Yes. For sure. It doesn't matter as much as policy and real discussions over what these individuals will be doing, but if there is a security issue in the White House.
01:19:47.000That being said, ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the wildest month of your life because October has only just begun.
01:19:55.000Yep. Here we go. We got another 29 days to go.
01:19:58.000I'm excited for Halloween, by the way, and then a couple more days right up to the election.
01:20:02.000But here's the thing. The October surprise, usually, we have election day.
01:20:08.000We got election month now, which means deep impact stories, rapid fire.
01:20:13.000Before, it'd be like one big story a week out before the election in October, and everyone's like, oh, no, and they try to knock you down so that right before the election, it's hard to recover.
01:20:40.000Maybe independents, but something like this will not affect anyone who's a Democrat voter.
01:20:44.000If they're already a Democrat voter, I don't see them.
01:20:46.000If the guy could have beat up five girls and they don't care because they don't like Trump, they hate Trump.
01:20:50.000And it's different, again, because it's like, you know, text messages, people who couldn't account for the story, that's a little more solid than just this kind of widely held belief that's why this marriage broke up because of infidelity and actually infidelity maybe had some other components to it.
01:21:06.000It's different than when George W. Bush's like DUI came to light.
01:21:11.000But then Al Gore chose kind of not to bring that up.
01:21:13.000I mean some stuff both campaigns will be like we can't touch that because it's actually messy for both of us.
01:21:19.000And I wonder if this is one of the issues.
01:21:21.000If you're the Trump campaign and they've already tried to paint you out as like this man who's sort of violent and aggressive towards women, then it would be difficult to start trying to push that this this claim against Doug Emhoff is addressed.
01:21:34.000And Trump only, real quick, Trump only grabbed a woman.
01:22:13.000And that was also the story brought by the Daily Mail, which broke this story as well.
01:22:17.000It was confirmed that – he confirmed that he was – that the divorce was because of his actions, the infidelity.
01:22:23.000But his first wife has come out to his defense several times now but at that time was like, I'm very proud that he was – he's the father of my children and we're on good terms is basically her stance.
01:22:35.000No one has ever really addressed the component of like did the nanny fall pregnant?
01:22:40.000Right. And it's a good point that this is now election month.
01:22:43.000So I wonder if we know that Democrats and Democrat leaders, which I think is more important than people who are solid blue and are going to vote for Kamala no matter what comes out over the next month.
01:22:50.000But I wonder about the timing of these stories because now that early voting is just starting in certain states, I think we're going to see a lot more blue-leaning October surprises, you know, targeted at Democrats and targeted at Kamala in her circles.
01:23:01.000And then I think later in the month we're going to see more red and targeted at Trump October surprises.
01:23:06.000I think there's more to this Daily Mail story.
01:23:08.000No one's talking about it in the media.
01:23:10.000Even though there's a few women, according to the Daily Mail, a few women who told the Daily Mail they've corroborated the allegation.
01:23:16.000So there is a possibility they're holding off the story for political purposes.
01:23:20.000So we might see a lot more from this because it's surprising that the media is not talking about this a lot more.
01:23:25.000Not really. I mean, the corporate press does not want to put out information damaging to the Democrats.
01:23:30.000No, even the right-leaning press is not putting it out.
01:23:33.000I looked at Fox News. It should be on their front page.
01:23:36.000Yeah, that's true. Maybe they're timing it.
01:23:39.000I don't know. No, I think you're right.
01:23:40.000I think perhaps Daily Mail, this is 10% of the story, and then they're waiting to put out the photos.
01:23:45.000They're priming it. Oh, photos of him doing that?
01:23:48.000Yeah, that'll be fun. I mean, the woman got slapped.
01:24:00.000And she still has a red face, so they paint a face that's like a slap hand.
01:24:03.000No, but they show photos of being like, after he hit me, my friends took pictures to document the abuse.
01:24:08.000But to your point, if Democrats are more likely to vote by mail, the day before the election is almost too late if the attack is on the Democrats.
01:24:17.000Which means it'll be coming in a week.
01:24:19.000Yeah, exactly. By the time we finish this episode.
01:24:34.000Have a nice day. And then I look at my phone, missiles launched by Iran, and I'm like, well, you know, right when the show ends.
01:24:40.000And that happened to you with the pager thing, too?
01:24:41.000You were, like, getting updates live in the chat.
01:24:43.000Oh, I was covering the pager explosion story, and while I had it pulled up, someone said, hey, walkie-talkies just exploded in Lebanon, and I was like, what?
01:24:52.000Crazy story. But what's crazy to me is I know they started talking about Iran, Israel, Lebanon at the beginning of the debate.
01:24:57.000I know we've digressed again. But that and Ukraine was barely mentioned.
01:25:01.000I think these are – because the American people just don't care about it as much, which is surprising to me.
01:25:06.000But I think that's something that could boil out of control and, again – It looks really bad for Kamala if you add the Middle East to the mix.
01:25:17.000So you've got the husband. You've got the strike.
01:25:19.000You've got the debate, which will disappear.
01:25:22.000It's not going to have much of an impact.
01:26:45.000There has been constant tension and fear.
01:26:47.000But if you're in a state of fear and panic, your body actually reaches a level of equilibrium, right?
01:26:51.000You get used to it. So then they try to layer more fear on.
01:26:54.000Now we have Roe versus Wade and abortion rights.
01:26:56.000And actually now Donald Trump is the biggest threat.
01:26:58.000And I think Americans are sort of numb to this panic.
01:27:00.000But that's the only motivator Democrats have for their voters right now.
01:27:04.000It's true. It's been nine years of Trump as the boogeyman.
01:27:07.000Like, that's almost a decade since he came down to Golden S-Clairs in 2015.
01:27:10.000And this goes back to October's surprise.
01:27:12.000Like, what more could they possibly find on him that they haven't already tried?
01:27:15.000I mean, they did Access Hollywood in 2016.
01:27:17.000That was bad. But, I mean, it's hard to imagine there's much worse that would even surprise anybody at this point.
01:27:22.000I think the – something to mention where, Tim, me and you met at the – what was it?
01:27:26.000Rescue the Republic. The positivity on that front to make America healthy again.
01:27:30.000I think the narrative is changing, kind of countering that whole perception of Trump due to the media, of him being the boogeyman.
01:27:38.000I think they're doing a really good job with Elon and Kennedy and Tulsi backing him.
01:27:43.000I think that perception will slowly shift.
01:27:46.000So we'll see. When you mentioned that earlier about them, and I know Tim talks about a lot, when you laid their names up, you said Elon, you said Tulsi, you said RFK. Just hearing you say that associated with Trump and JD, it is nice.
01:27:59.000It's really neat. Three former Democrats.
01:28:01.000Three former Democrats. I told you, Raymond, we'll get one out by the end of the show.
01:28:55.000He was – I listened to this interview where he was like, look, I really thought Biden should stay in and I thought that right up until the end.
01:29:02.000But now I think it should be Kamala Harris.
01:29:05.000And like there's not really an explanation other than this is what the party has decided and we have to coalesce together so we're against Donald Trump.
01:29:12.000I mean, I think that the fall in line instinct for Democrats was cultivated and executed, especially this summer.
01:29:21.000But I don't think that there is a genuine tie between Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, which is very different than RFK, right?
01:29:30.000Like RFK has really strong values, ran his own campaign as an independent, and then was like, look, I have goals for this country and I'm going to find a way to make them happen.
01:29:39.000And in this case, it's by partnering with Donald Trump.
01:30:52.000I think there's just a lot of people that just maybe hate Trump's character, for example.
01:30:56.000It could be one thing and the JD could balance that.
01:30:57.000Can I ask, for the betting markets, are the betting markets measuring who the average American thinks is likely to win the election or who they want to win the election?
01:31:07.000Because I think, especially given what happened in 2020 and people's skepticism about election security, there are people who are like, it's going to be Harris because that's who they've decided.
01:31:15.000And so you would bet on that, but it's not necessarily indicative of what he's going to win.
01:31:18.000Exactly, exactly. And that's the question, how much do you trust the system?
01:31:21.000Because if you trust the system, that's a positive thing to the betting market because a lot of people don't trust the system and they bet Kamala's going to win even though more people will vote for Trump because it's all corrupt.
01:31:32.000But if you trust the system, that means those people are wrong betting because they don't trust the system.
01:32:37.000The polls say one thing about what people value, but when you're that jaded and that set in your mindset on who you vote for politically and who you've been voting for for the past five decades of your life in some cases, maybe the polls don't reflect that as well.
01:32:50.000What do you see as the dynamic for voters between Biden and Harris?
01:32:54.000I felt, especially during the first debate, that she would say—she wouldn't use Biden's name, but she'd say, we accomplished so much, and then she would pivot to, I'm going to do this.
01:33:02.000But she also obviously has tried to distance herself.
01:33:05.000So with infrastructure bills, do Biden's look at that—voters look at that and say, Joe Biden got this, but he's not running anymore, so we don't give credit to Kamala Harris?
01:33:14.000Or do they credit Kamala Harris with the new road?
01:33:17.000Yeah. Yeah, they probably would credit Kamala as well.
01:33:19.000But I mean, I think the biggest shift between Biden and Harris is the effect on men.
01:33:23.000So I saw David Hogg tweeting about a month ago about this phenomenon.
01:33:35.000He was trying to address the masculinity issue on the Democratic Party side, and he's theorizing.
01:33:40.000And basically his conclusion was men went home in 2020, and they went into their basements because they weren't working.
01:33:47.000They went online, and they became more misogynistic, and that's why this is happening.
01:33:50.000So I think that's the biggest phenomenon is a lot of men won't be able to bring themselves to vote for Kamala.
01:33:56.000Her overall vibe, for lack of a better term, but I don't think that Democrats are actually even thinking remotely closely on how to effectively address that issue.
01:34:03.000A side issue, it's, I guess, aura, I learned today.
01:34:11.000She's got some cooked aura going on, but yeah.
01:34:13.000Cooked. That's the lingo we're using these days, guys, because we've got to be cool.
01:34:17.000We've got to be hip with a Gen Z. All right, we're going to go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know, because it's the best show on the internet.
01:34:27.000Everyone agrees. At least that's what I've been told.
01:34:30.000And make sure you pick up our new song on iTunes.
01:35:50.000Look, if he did meet Trump, if they had a role to play in it, if Trump has encouraged him to do this for political purposes, then it will obviously last for a long time.
01:35:58.000Considering his personality, I think it was planned as well.
01:36:50.000She's on the campaign trail. So I'm wondering who's actually going to be doing, who's going to sit down with this guy we were watching from the longshoremen and actually sit down and negotiate terms.
01:36:58.000It's hard to imagine who that is at this point.
01:37:00.000I agree. And it makes me wonder, I don't know if you guys know this, has Trump already tried to meet with our friend Harold Daggett?
01:37:54.000You rock, Grofty. Horsehead says, this song resonates with what is happening where I live.
01:38:00.000You see Main Street pics in the old part of town in all its glory in the 50s.
01:38:04.000Now addicts shoot up in broad daylight and tents are everywhere.
01:38:07.000Okay, so the song is called Coming Home by Timcast.
01:38:11.000Watch the video and I'll describe it for you because some people might be skeptics and they're like, well, I don't really care.
01:38:15.000But I'll explain it anyway. We're good to go.
01:38:38.000I like to do this thing where when I look at an old abandoned building, I try to imagine what it was like when it was finally built.
01:38:44.000And the owner comes out with the employees and they cut the ribbon and they say, look at our new factory.
01:38:49.000And now 40 years later, the windows are all smashed out.
01:38:52.000There's homeless people inside, rats, drugs, disease.
01:38:55.000And you just wonder, how does this fall apart?
01:38:58.000How does it happen? Worse still, because I understand that buildings fall apart and sometimes these things happen, when you go to our once great American cities and you see in the center of San Francisco, they're abandoning the mall, they're abandoning the hotels, there's human waste everywhere.
01:40:06.000I guess we didn't play it when you were here, but this is where we have corporate press personalities like Don Lemon and Cuomo singing, and the song is about breaking out of their controlled information machine.
01:40:16.000You can check it out. Check it out after this one.
01:40:18.000And everyone says that's their favorite song that we put out.
01:40:21.000Is that what I said? Timcast. Genocide music, yeah.
01:40:24.000And we used AI. The word thing to Google.
01:40:26.000Yeah. Well, that's the name of the song.
01:40:28.000I know. I'm just kidding. Great name, Tim.
01:40:30.000Well, we were like, should we change the name because that's pretty brutal and they might censor it.
01:40:33.000I think they kind of did because it got a lot of interaction and engagement.
01:40:36.000The views are lower than the other songs.
01:40:38.000And I was like, I don't want to call it anything else.
01:40:40.000It is what it is. But it's basically we make – there's a lot of jokes in the video where I'm playing this news reporter and it says things like lockdowns are good for you.
01:40:49.000Giving your money to the government to fund wars is actually healthy and helpful.
01:40:53.000Yeah. We have Ian standing reporting on drone strikes and it says mostly peaceful drone strikes, all that stuff.
01:40:59.000And then in the end it says the world is ending.
01:41:01.000Here's why that's a good thing. All the lies of the corporate press.
01:41:55.000You want co-VP? Yeah, I want everyone who's good and cares about America and wants to save lives and make us better to be in charge, for sure.
01:42:03.000Yeah, is Tulsi going to be involved in the Trump administration in any way like Bobby and – Hopefully.
01:42:09.000Fingers crossed. We don't know anything yet.
01:42:10.000Nothing's mentioned. Not that I know of myself.
01:42:12.000Ms. Santa Clara is a reporter or journalist.
01:42:15.000Nothing's out yet. I mean she's obviously serving as an advisor on the Trump campaign.
01:42:18.000She helped with debate prep, but it's not – I should have promised that she would.
01:42:22.000Yeah, come on. A few days ago, I'm like, yeah, I'll regret it a bit now.
01:42:28.000By the way, one thing, I know we're doing the questions from the audience, but this one thing is really good news talking about free speech is the court.
01:42:35.000Remember, Tim, we talked about it earlier as well.
01:42:36.000The court blocked the California law on deceptive election deepfakes.
01:43:04.000Alex Jones replies. Where's Alex Jones' reply?
01:43:06.000He says, ah, First Amendment stands in Patrick Bateman's way.
01:43:09.000They will try to outlaw free speech again.
01:43:11.000Democrats are the threat to democracy as they like to call it.
01:43:15.000I would agree with him. I think they'll keep trying to – we saw John Kerry's comments a couple of days ago as well, which just wasn't the most assuring.
01:44:28.000So, I mean, everybody worships is what it boils down to.
01:44:31.000So, if you worship yourself and there's a baby in the way of you having lots of sex or just...
01:44:36.000You have a career. You have a college degree you want to get.
01:44:39.000That's where the sacrifice comes in, is you are serving yourself, is really what it boils down to.
01:44:44.000I agree. You know, maybe, you know, in centuries past and millennia past, it was Moloch and you bring your child to burn inside that big bronze statue.
01:44:51.000But nowadays it's, yeah, I want to continue, you know, sleeping with this man.
01:44:56.000And, you know, of course there's cases where, yes, there is legitimate difficulty, there's tough situations, but we know that the vast majority is just convenience and prosperity.
01:45:04.000It's the same thing that led people to kill babies way back in the day because they thought that it would make their crops grow.
01:45:09.000Thank you. Did it make their crops grow?
01:45:12.000I don't think so. I think they were swiftly judged by the one true living God.
01:45:17.000Hillbilly Tarzan said, Things are bad in Western North Carolina.
01:45:19.000Government is focusing aid in the only Democrat areas of West NC. It destroyed my entire town of Lansing.
01:45:26.000Every building flooded, even the FD Give, Send, Go Appalachia Relief Fund.
01:45:31.000Even the FD? Oh, Give, Send, Go Appalachia Relief Fund.
01:45:34.000Right on. I keep hearing this, that people in North Carolina are saying that they're being punished because their area is red.
01:45:41.000I don't know. It's difficult to confirm, right, because the reports are so sketchy.
01:45:46.000On the other hand, is this correlation or causation?
01:45:51.000Are red districts in North Carolina more rural and therefore more difficult to serve during times of emergency?
01:45:58.000If you're a major city and so you're the only blue area...
01:46:01.000Obviously, you would probably get a certain number of resources first just based on that.
01:46:06.000But I would really hope that Joe Biden, who just went to North Carolina and said this is not time for politics, would not be depriving people of resources because he's like, well, you're red, so I don't care about you.
01:46:16.000Right. Well, I actually just started writing a piece, you know, interviewing multiple people who are helping with the disaster, especially in Tennessee.
01:46:22.000But, you know, you always hear that the federal government is doing a great job and that's an easy, you know, scapegoat.
01:46:28.000But they are legitimately saying we have not seen anything federal, you know, all these people who are helping across Appalachia.
01:46:34.000And yeah, I mean, hopefully that article will be up in the next few days at republicsensinal.com.
01:46:39.000But yeah, it's not looking good for them.
01:46:41.000I do want to mention something talking about North Carolina.
01:46:44.000Something interesting because I was with Commissioner Brendan Carr yesterday from the FCC and he talked about how Elon is being targeted by the various alphabet agencies.
01:46:52.000And Starlink, they've had $900 million a few months ago revoked, which was a grant because apparently they weren't meeting certain standards.
01:46:59.000They're not even meant to meet for another couple of years.
01:47:01.000Why does that matter? Well, not only is the government using Starlink, Starlink was just used in North Carolina.
01:47:10.000I think Biden was taking credit for...
01:47:12.000Wasn't Trump? Trump spoke to Elon about sending Starlink to those rural areas and I saw a tweet my team put out about Biden taking credit for it.
01:47:22.000So it's just the irony there is difficult not to mention.
01:47:26.000It reminds me a lot of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, where you have the really effective businessman who all the bureaucrats absolutely hate.
01:47:32.000So in that book, it was the guy who was...
01:47:33.000I think his last name was Hank Reardon, so he was making Reardon steal.
01:47:38.000So the most objectively effective businessman was enemy number one, even though he was the one person who had it together.
01:47:43.000It's the same with Elon Musk in our country, where even a couple years ago, we were talking about unions.
01:47:47.000There was this big union event, or big automakers event at the White House, and they snubbed Tesla, even though Tesla is the only...
01:47:54.000Major manufacturers actually making cars in the United States, and they went for Ford and GM and all these things.
01:48:00.000Elon Musk has been a popular villain in progressive culture for a little while now, even before he endorsed Donald Trump this summer.
01:48:09.000There is something about him that left-wing Americans really hate.
01:48:32.000And you talked about the summit for the EV, the EV summit, where Elon was not even mentioned.
01:48:41.000You've had the FBI. You had the Fish and Wildlife, whatever you call it, organization that sued SpaceX because they found a few crabs and quail eggs that were burnt because of a space launch.
01:51:03.000This is the boobies. And he just thought it was funny to put a B over boonies and then put a blue-footed boobie.
01:51:09.000And everyone's been demanding more of this skateboard, so they're all up at boonieshq.com, especially for those that want the Step on Snek and Find Out skateboard.
01:51:18.000Those sold out instantly, like within hours, and they are available again.
01:51:24.000I don't know. We might have a bit more in stock, but you probably want to get them now while you still can.
01:51:29.000Taylor Silverman Pro Model, if you want to support women, women's sports.
01:51:33.000Taylor stood up against men who were competing women's sports, and the machine came after her for it.
01:51:39.000So she's got a skateboard. Of course, I got my skateboard.
01:53:12.000Basically, the way it works right now is if the digital streaming platforms put you in rotation, you're Billboard number one.
01:53:19.000End of story. And so they try to play it off like these are the songs that people like.
01:53:24.000People just like it when the gay dude bangs the devil.
01:53:27.000You remember that song? People aren't choosing to listen to WAP and things like this. But the thing is, there's no real way to get into these systems. It used to be even a year or two ago, we put out music, you could just sell the song. And Billboard was tracking your song sales. Then they started removing the capability because people like me and Tom McDonald, and other people, Bryson Gray, were putting out songs that were continually charting. And they were like, these outsiders
01:53:55.000should not be allowed to represent music. So then, the last song we put out was Eyes of Advice before we take together again. And they told us our song sales 35,000 didn't Can't do it. We're not going to let you do it.
01:54:12.000Amazon song sales maybe will sometimes count.
01:54:15.000We don't know for sure. What's happening is that independent artists are generating massive amounts of sales that the industry cannot, but the industry doesn't want people who are outside of their purview and their control to be the top-ranking artists.
01:54:56.000Right, that's what I mean. I'm sorry, my laptop and do the actual iTunes.
01:54:58.000You got to download the iTunes program and buy the song on iTunes.
01:55:02.000Yep. And so, of course, that's very difficult for people because that's an old app people don't really use.
01:55:08.000But imagine, I mean, it's just that's the game they've made.
01:55:11.000They've made it so that it's basically impossible.
01:55:13.000The only way to actually get on Billboard is if a record label cuts a deal with the digital streaming service like Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, and says, anybody opens the app, just play this song.
01:55:32.000And then YouTube recommends a lot of these same things.
01:55:35.000And, you know, there is an argument you can make for them like, hey, look, this artist has got a song coming out.
01:55:39.000We know people like it. We're going to bet on that.
01:55:41.000But that basically means that independent artists will never be able to get in unless our record label chooses them to get in.
01:55:47.000So when we start generating independent sales and we should be charting like everybody else, they just go, nah, you know, we decided that doesn't count.
01:55:54.000Why don't you do a deal with one of the big labels and then come out, get on stage.
01:55:58.000You guys remember when we saw Paramore go on stage and say Donald Trump, Project 2025 and all that garbage?
01:56:03.000It's because, I'm willing to bet, they go to her and they say, you know what happens if you don't do what we want you to politically?
01:56:10.000We'll just say don't put them in rotation anymore and no one will hear your music ever again.
01:56:13.000And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:56:15.000They don't say it like that. They say, come on, you know everyone's doing it.
01:56:18.000This is what we expect of you at the label.
01:56:20.000And they go, okay, yeah, yeah, whatever you say.
01:56:28.000Hook it up. Or I think the reality is we just need to start tracking our own charts for bands and musicians that are actually generating real influence and a new way to measure whether or not a song is influential.
01:56:39.000Because people are like, oh yeah, I heard that song.
01:56:42.000If I pull up the Billboard 100 right now, I bet half the songs you guys are going to be like, I have no idea what that song is.
01:57:03.000That is a freshly shaved J.D. Vance sneaking up on your shirt.
01:57:07.000I knew it. I was going to make some kind of joke about my wife not liking beards, which she does not, but I can't grow one anyway, so it doesn't even matter.
01:57:15.000Ferdinand is beloved, says Tim, all I think with Maha, we will finally see some significant changes in human DNA and intelligence, almost like a spiritual awakening.
01:57:22.000Of course, it may come after a significant tragedy or loss.
01:57:25.000I mean, people be chugging fluoride, you know?
01:57:29.000When it comes to America's health, that's probably one of the biggest learning lessons I got from the Rescue of the Republic.
01:57:38.000Big Tree from the Kennedy campaign, and he started giving some of the stats.
01:57:44.000Me and Tim were talking about this earlier as well.
01:57:47.000And I think that's one of the issues that could start gaining a lot of attention now.
01:57:52.000It's a bit too late for this election, but I think in the next election, yeah, I think we'll get a lot more attention when people realize how bad the health of the American citizen is.
01:58:04.000And I think it's the worst among all the advanced economies, all the first world, for lack of a better term, countries.
01:58:24.000It's too expensive, addiction, pre-existing conditions, medical debt, things like that.
01:58:28.000Like these are the concerns of average Americans that you're relying on to go to the polls.
01:58:35.000The fact that you would have to demand answers from both the Democrat and Republican is showing that it really is an issue that more people want answers.
01:58:42.000Yeah. I think the two problems I think we're getting to actually the next election cycle will be health and censorship.
01:58:50.000Mr. Putty had said, Tim Waltz's wide eyes is the exact same look as the screaming triggered leftist lady meme.
02:00:09.000So we need but 1,799 more subscribers and we will crack 2 million, which likely means by the end of the night we will be at 2 million subscribers on this.
02:00:21.000We'll do a competition. I was watching Elon's as well.
02:01:08.000After our last release, which is like nine months ago, when they told us that independent resellers no longer count, I was like, they've basically announced publicly that they will no longer allow you to sell music to chart, which is the original method of actually charting.
02:01:21.000Who sells the most? Now I think they're actually icing out the very last...
02:01:25.000Which is iTunes. They're basically saying, that's it, you're done.
02:01:28.000So getcominghome.com, but it's got to be on the iTunes player, not the Apple Music player.
02:01:33.000There are two different things. You see how they make it impossible.
02:01:35.000And yeah, follow me on X. Ben, do you want to shout anything out?
02:01:38.000Yeah, you can go to our website, republicsensinal.com.
02:01:41.000And toward the top, there's a place to put your email address.
02:01:44.000So you can find us on X too, but mostly we're distributing via email.
02:02:30.000Give a dollar. If everyone, like, 50,000 people give a dollar, or 2 million people give a dollar, all you gotta do is give a dollar to the one company campaign you like.
02:02:39.000Ms. Santa Clara. It's been great to have you all here, especially on this, the eve of such a historic event, the 2 million subscriber mark.
02:02:46.000Thanks so much for coming out and joining us.
02:02:48.000I'm Hannah Claire Brimlow. I'm a writer.
