00:06:04.000First up, we have Sean Davis back from The Federalist, who's been doing some big investigations into the Secret Service scandal, how the media and Democrats organized a coup against their sitting president, and just exactly what is so weird about Tim Walz.
00:06:20.000Then we'll be joined by Tim Murtaugh, who's back with the Trump campaign after serving as a comms director in 2020.
00:06:26.000He'll give us the inside scoop on where things stand, what's going on.
00:06:31.000Not to believe everything that you read, people are definitely trying to sow chaos in Discord.
00:06:36.000And I think it's gonna be a big one because we just have a couple of months left until the November election.
00:06:42.000And actually, We're only weeks away from the start of early voting in Pennsylvania on September 16th.
00:06:50.000To learn more, you can go to skipthelinespa.vote.
00:06:55.000That's skipthelinespa.vote to learn more.
00:07:00.000If you're in Pennsylvania and you make your plan to vote, do so.
00:08:36.000If they have the guts to do it, they're going against the norms.
00:08:38.000They're going against You know, the very organized nonsense groups out there that try to pretend and attack advertisers for liking conservative type programming.
00:08:47.000So, those guys have guts and it's important to support those kinds of sponsors.
00:11:20.000You know, again, it was sort of funny, you know, when in the weeks leading up to Joe Biden sort of dropping out, it was like, wow, they were actually being honest about Joe Biden.
00:11:29.000They were actually acknowledging his incompetence.
00:11:31.000Ironically, in the weeks prior to that, they were talking about how bad Kamala Harris was.
00:11:35.000Then the second they got what they wanted, which is someone who may be able to win because they knew he couldn't.
00:11:41.000All of a sudden, Kamala Harris is a moderate, she was never the border czar, she's a wonderful orator, and a great speaker, and they're not word salads, and how dare you, that's racist.
00:11:49.000I've never seen, you know, they were never actually being honest about Joe Biden, they were just doing it for a purpose, to win, as their job as the spokesperson for the DNC, but it's crazy to see it, and the doubling down, the tripling down, the quadrupling down, is unlike anything I've seen, and I think I've seen a lot at this point.
00:12:10.000I mean, I was kind of blown away just by how dishonest they were by the level of gaslighting.
00:12:17.000I'm generally pretty cynical and skeptical of stuff, and so I thought I was prepared for what they were going to do when they went from saying, Joe Biden- How bad can they get?
00:12:25.000The answer is, whatever you thought, it's going to be worse.
00:12:29.000Yeah, I honestly, I decry my own lack of imagination at being able to fully understand the depths of their depravity.
00:12:37.000But I mean, they went from saying Joe Biden was totally fine, like overnight to he's in such bad shape, we're just going to do a coup against him.
00:14:19.000No one believes that Joe Biden's actually in charge, so she's probably the most powerful vice president, at least in recent times, maybe ever, because, you know, the person in charge is clearly inept.
00:14:33.000Yeah, it's been just so interesting to watch.
00:14:36.000And I think the reason the media won't ask her any questions about policy is that any discussion of policy is a loser for her.
00:14:43.000Because if you're going to talk policy, you have to talk about inflation.
00:14:46.000You have to talk about our national debt soaring.
00:14:48.000You have to talk about the currency being increasingly worthless.
00:14:51.000You have to talk about the skyrocketing cost of groceries, of gas, of school, of college, of health care.
00:14:59.000Any discussion of policy is going to end up making her look bad because it's been the Democrat policies of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden that have gotten us to this place.
00:15:08.000So I think media have all decided among themselves, we're not asking her anything about it.
00:15:13.000And if we do, it's going to be in the most vague, defensive possible way that we will make sure whatever clip she has, you know, doing her typical word salad won't look too bad.
00:15:22.000And that's why they're doing this stupid vibes campaign with like going and buying Doritos And talking about joy.
00:15:32.000And getting caught doing multiple takes because, you know, I mean, I don't know.
00:16:35.000Yeah, I mean, let's talk a little bit about, you know, the vice presidential candidate on her side, Walt.
00:16:40.000I mean, it feels like, literally, like, they've picked him because he's, like, the male archetype of every, like, sitcom dad, like, bumbly, incompetent.
00:16:51.000It's like, I guess there's sort of a, felt like there was always an affront on fatherhood and the traditional, like, you know, family from the left, and you can see that in Hollywood, but there really is, like, The male archetype, you know, Tim Waltz is the bumbling Hollywood dad.
00:17:21.000You look at someone like Walls and you look at Harris, and something I've seen a lot of in politics is that politicians who are weak and insecure, they don't want alphas around them.
00:17:33.000They don't want to be around strong people because they're worried that being around strong, alpha, truly masculine people makes them look bad.
00:17:40.000Whereas when you're secure around yourself, you just want good people around you.
00:17:43.000And it's almost like she went out looking for the weakest person she could possibly find.
00:17:49.000So she didn't want to pick Shapiro because he was Jewish.
00:17:52.000And she goes and finds this nobody of a, seems kind of like an actual communist in Minnesota
00:18:16.000I mean, the ties there, what's almost worse, it's almost worse than Biden in that it's not financial.
00:18:22.000The guy just genuinely espouses those beliefs, it seems.
00:18:25.000It doesn't seem like he was actually on their payroll.
00:18:27.000He's probably working for them, just because that's how they groom, you know, their future operatives.
00:18:33.000But it does not seem like he took a lot of money, if he took any, unlike the Bidens, where at least you say, okay, well, they're just scumbags, you know, profiteering from their office, but they may not actually believe the communist agenda.
00:18:46.000Like if I had to pick the worst of all worlds, it's not the guy who's corrupt and and gets bought off, although that's obviously bad.
00:18:54.000And the Bidens were doing that for years, if not decades.
00:18:57.000I think it's way worse to have the true communist believer in there, which is what Tim Walz is.
00:19:01.000I mean, he and his wife got married on, according to his wife, the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre because she wanted to be sure that she could remember the date.
00:19:10.000And I'll tell you, I don't think she looks back on that date with regret.
00:19:14.000I don't think she picked it because, oh, that's a sad day.
00:19:17.000I think she picked it because they're kind of into what happened there.
00:19:21.000Yeah, like, and if you're siding with that regime with tanks rolling over, you know, peaceful protesters, you're probably not on, like, the side of the good guys.
00:21:22.000She was so bad at politics that when she ran for president the first time, she had to drop out before a single vote was cast.
00:21:27.000And we're magically supposed to believe that within minutes of them doing a coup on Joe Biden, that suddenly she's the most inspiring, most beautiful, brave, courageous woman and the most popular vice president in history.
00:21:48.000But again, I think they're also by design, right?
00:21:50.000In some places, they're designed to make you overconfident.
00:21:53.000In some places, they're designed to make you sit at home.
00:21:56.000It really feels like the amount of information that's thrown out there, the amount of things that are so similar and yet with such divergent outcomes, it makes you wonder what more is at stake in there.
00:22:08.000Yeah, it feels like they're doing a demoralization campaign on the right.
00:22:54.000What's interesting is I've actually seen even some of that kind of,
00:22:58.000let's call it malarkey, in some of the betting markets.
00:23:03.000And it's like, well, wow, that looks weird.
00:23:05.000How can it be that she's all of a sudden she's up that much?
00:23:08.000And then you look and there's like one outlier bet.
00:23:10.000It's, it feels like it's like one Democrat putting like a million dollars, uh, you know, against this, which sort of crushes that, You know, the way those things line up, and it's the same thing.
00:23:19.000It's designed to make people feel like they're not going to win.
00:23:23.000And they're almost willing to lose that kind of money or create the effect it's intended to have.
00:23:30.000And, you know, it wouldn't surprise me that these things would be very well-funded operations by the DNC.
00:23:37.000And there's probably some independent Democrats that are actually out there doing that stuff on their own.
00:23:41.000When there sort of feels like they're almost manipulating the betting markets with some of these crazy outliers that really does sway the way people view elections, even in the betting markets.
00:23:51.000That's sort of amazing, and that's like next-level gamesmanship.
00:23:55.000Yeah, and we know they manipulate everything.
00:23:57.000They manipulate the news, they manipulate the FBI, they have their own little shock troops that they manipulate to go and wage violent riots when they feel like it.
00:24:08.000And I was talking with friends the other day, I remember growing up, if you were in an argument with a friend, somebody would say, shut up, and you'd say, nah, whatever, it's free country, I can say what I want.
00:24:19.000That was like a super common retort on the playground.
00:24:22.000I really don't feel like we have a free country anymore, given how much of our government seems to exist to control us, to sigh off us, to manipulate us.
00:24:33.000It's crazy for me to think about because I didn't think that 10 years ago, certainly not 20 years ago.
00:24:38.000And yet I see what Democrats are willing to do and how they're willing to lie to get power.
00:24:41.000And I just have to say to myself, I don't think they'll stop at anything.
00:24:45.000I think they will do anything that pops into their heads if they think it will allow them to maintain or gain power.
00:24:52.000Yeah, I mean, well, they also are doing that, I mean, when you look at the other places you saw, you know, sort of thought as bastions of freedoms, you know, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, UK, Ireland, I mean, UK, you had a couple weeks ago, you had, you know, their police chief and one of the, we're going to come and extradite Americans who You know, break R. I mean, they don't even have, like, remotely free speech.
00:25:12.000There's people being thrown in jail for misgendering people.
00:25:15.000There's people calling out some of the hate-filled, you know, let's, you know, call them what they are, sort of, uh, migrant bands of roving, you know, uh, attackers, uh, you know, saying, I don't really like those people!
00:25:42.000And it's like, it's shocking to me every day.
00:25:45.000I mean, people calling out like some of these guys, they're calling out like rapists and literally people who are beating up people in the streets, and they're the ones getting thrown in jail for saying, We don't want this kind of immigration.
00:25:55.000It doesn't seem like it's a crazy thought, but they're getting thrown in jail for that.
00:25:59.000And if we call them out in America, this guy's going to try to extradite us?
00:26:09.000He's certainly not extraditing any American I know.
00:26:12.000But it's crazy that they feel like they have the power to actually say that with a straight face.
00:26:19.000And I guess they've been given that power by some of these lunatic governments.
00:26:24.000Yeah, it's actually really depressing to see.
00:26:29.000It's a warning, because when you lose control of your borders, when you decide that you're no longer a nation, you're just an economic zone with some lines written around it, you'll just let anyone in.
00:26:40.000Because anyone who comes in is somebody who's going to buy stuff, who's going to, I guess, pour money into the economy.
00:26:48.000It's a warning sign to America that we are not an idea.
00:27:23.000And if we don't do something here pretty soon, if we don't start monitoring and policing our own borders and actually caring about our own culture, because it's something that's deliberately created and protected, We're going to lose it, and when we lose it, we lose everything, because it's the foundation for our entire country.
00:27:41.000Yeah, I mean, I know you guys have also been doing at The Federalist some deep dives into some of the, you know, Secret Service things, and they just, what to me seems like clear gross negligence and non-stop failures.
00:27:52.000You know, what are some of the new things that you guys have found that people may not have realized?
00:27:55.000It feels like every day I wake up to a new story of like, How on earth did that happen?
00:27:59.000Like, a toddler would understand that, like, that's not how you'd protect, you know, the presumptive nominee of a political party at the time or anyone.
00:28:11.000It just seems asinine, but I know you guys have gone even further and, you know, maybe our guys will be even further surprised that this does not, it doesn't strike me as a coincidence anymore.
00:28:21.000It's almost impossible to have this many failures and not, let's say, call it conspiratorial.
00:28:27.000I'm not sure I will ever get over the picture of the security perimeter at the Butler rally where it looked like Pac-Man because of the little pizza slice.
00:28:37.000That, I'll never be able to get past that.
00:28:40.000It's like you're putting up a sign like, shoot me now.
00:28:43.000If you want to get him, here's the way to do it.
00:28:53.000We had them Within a day or two, washing everything off the roof, normally that stuff you would preserve for a crime scene, they washed it off.
00:29:04.000I think a member of Congress recently learned that the body was cremated almost immediately, from like the very second.
00:29:16.000We had Secret Service agents, and I believe in Massachusetts, the same agency that refused to protect the former and hopefully future president, They broke into a salon in Massachusetts because some Secret Service agents needed a potty stop.
00:29:30.000And then they went and got tape and started taping up the cameras in there.
00:29:34.000What on earth is happening at that agency?
00:30:03.000They're not used to setting up those kind of perimeters.
00:30:05.000And like, they're literally, there's body cam footage of them yelling at the Secret Service, like, hey, like, this seems like a glaring gap.
00:30:11.000Like, are you trying to get, like, they're screaming at the guys who do this day in and day out, whose only job it is to do that stuff.
00:30:19.000And they're calling out What are obvious, you know, I guess, loopholes or, you know, gaps, you know, in the wall of security?
00:30:28.000And it's like, well, if the guy that doesn't do this for a living, who's just, you know, a good, hard-working law enforcement guy is yelling at the people who are the professionals, like, wouldn't it be their job to, like, fix those things immediately on the fly?
00:30:40.000Maybe there was an oversight, but if they don't do anything about it then and they leave a rooftop open inside 150 yards, I mean, You know, uh, you know, my dad was asking me what kind of shot that's like.
00:30:49.000I'm like, that's like missing a two inch putt.
00:31:00.000I know we're not professional security guys, but when you're a hunter, you don't have to be Sean, you don't, you don't have to be a professional security guard to be like, how does this happen?
00:31:07.000Like you have to understand like very basic tactics, like secure the high ground.
00:31:32.000Like, it's not one of these things where it's like you have, you know, morons on the internet arguing about, you know, subtle details of constitutional law and they're scholars.
00:31:40.000Like, this is just really basic common sense type of stuff.
00:31:44.000Yeah, maybe just don't give a line-of-sight, hundred-yard chip shot to a crazy person.
00:31:50.000Maybe don't let a guy roam around with an AR and a rangefinder.
00:31:53.000Like, maybe when people tell you there's a shooter on the roof... Maybe it's just me.
00:31:57.000It just feels like, had I been there, I would have thought of those things.
00:32:22.000But I think this goes a lot further because the arrogance they had, their aggressiveness in defending them failing at their one job, something else is going on there.
00:32:34.000Is it something that we ever get an answer to, or is it sort of election-dependent?
00:32:38.000It's 100% election-dependent, and even then do we get answers.
00:32:42.000I mean, it's been, what, 60-plus years since they killed Kennedy, and they're still keeping that stuff sealed when literally every person involved is dead?
00:32:51.000So, I mean, at best, we might get answers based on the election.
00:32:56.000At worst, we might not get answers ever.
00:32:58.000Yeah, I mean, it doesn't seem like that matters.
00:33:00.000I mean, I guess they only recently discovered, what, the Biden family took $27 million from, you know, foreign governments and all these things for all the hard work that they're doing and, you know.
00:33:10.000We've been on to the stuff for three years, and Congress has done almost nothing, so I guess it doesn't matter.
00:33:15.000If they want to get stonewalled by the government, we're— Until we're willing to fight hard enough to actually make something happen, it won't matter.
00:33:20.000They'll just stonewall us and, you know, till people forget.
00:33:25.000I mean, we had an assassination attempt, you know, a month and a half ago, and, you know, that's basically like it never even happened.
00:33:31.000Yeah, I think the most iconic photo in modern American history, by far.
00:33:38.000And they were already trying to erase it off the internet within like two weeks.
00:33:43.000And I think it's because they actually know how powerful that was.
00:33:47.000Everyone, when they saw that, had a visceral reaction to it.
00:33:51.000And I think we all tried to put ourselves in Trump's shoes there and say, well, how would I react?
00:34:11.000That's a, you know, one in a thousand, maybe one in a hundred, you know, people have the balls to actually do that rather than, you know, just curl up in a ball.
00:34:41.000It was this presence of mind, understanding the moment, understanding what people in that crowd were doing, and knowing, like, I gotta get up and tell them I'm okay, because I need to assure them.
00:35:46.000Uh, and he goes, it just, the entire, it was just a dynamic shift in the moment, and uh, you know, I'm not even sure, you know, tactically it's the smart thing to, if you get up out of their shot, you know, maybe you heard return fire, but who knows if the guy's actually hit, who knows if there's a second shooter, so I don't know if tactically it was smart.
00:36:03.000Uh, but it definitely calmed everyone down, according to at least these two people that literally came up to me and were like, that was amazing.
00:36:08.000And I was like, yeah, it was really gutsy.
00:36:10.000They go, no, no, no, much more than that.
00:36:59.000Sean, talk a little bit more about just sort of the media landscape.
00:37:02.000I mean, you know, obviously, you know, you run the Federalist, you know, conservative, but compare 2016 or even 2020 to what we're experiencing now.
00:37:11.000One thing I get asked all the time is, you know, you know, what's happening at places like, you know, Drudge Report, places that were at least Maybe even right-leaning, but at least sort of called it how it was.
00:37:23.000How well-positioned are websites like The Federalist to fill some of the void that's been left by places like Drudge that just went full communist?
00:37:32.000I'll be honest, I actually haven't read Drudge in like a decade.
00:37:44.000And I don't know who runs it anymore, but I don't find any value in it.
00:37:48.000I will say, ten years ago, there weren't that many publications on the right willing to do the things we're doing and willing to say the things we say.
00:37:56.000And so it can be really discouraging to look at Washington Post, CNN, New York Times, and just see how dishonest and deliberately deceitful they are, how corrupt and depraved they are.
00:38:06.000But at the same time, I actually think we're seeing a resurgence of media on the right.
00:38:15.000You look at X, at how people act on there.
00:38:18.000I'm actually really, really encouraged by the media environment on the right because so many people now are getting the courage To come out and say the things that need to be said, to say true things that men are men and women are women, that America is a nation with laws and borders.
00:38:33.00010 years ago, there was like one of us.
00:39:39.000Okay, guys, and before we get to Tim Murtaugh, remember to make the parallel economy part of every purchase with Public Square.
00:39:47.000With Public Square, you can buy with your beliefs.
00:39:50.000You can let your dollars reflect your values.
00:39:52.000Don't give your money to companies who hate you.
00:39:55.000Give it to freedom-loving companies who actually support you.
00:39:58.000If you're a business, there are millions of consumers like me and probably many of you looking to find you.
00:40:05.000List your business on Public Square and move our country one step closer to defeating woke capital.
00:40:10.000Download the Public Square app today or go to publicsquare.com and together we will build the patriot economy and save our country.
00:40:19.000If we starve woke capital, if we force them to know That there are alternatives.
00:40:25.000And if we support those alternatives, guys, not only are we helping small businesses, but we're sending a major shot across the bow to what's happened to corporate America, the major corporate juggernauts out there.
00:40:40.000Well, guys, with that, joining me now, Trump campaign senior advisor, someone who's been there in 20 and around for a long time, the author of Swing Hard, in case you hit it, Tim Murtaugh.
00:40:59.000Okay, so you're back on the 2024 Trump campaign.
00:41:03.000What are you hoping to accomplish in this final stretch?
00:41:05.000I mean, you got sort of a rapid, you know, 75 days to get it done, to get that message against a A media that has gone so far in for Kamala Harris.
00:41:19.000You know, they're going back and changing Google headlines.
00:41:22.000They're going back and re-editing articles to try to create a false narrative and a false historic timeline of her accomplishments or really the lack thereof.
00:41:32.000You know, talk about what's going on and what you hope to do to counter some of that insanity.
00:41:36.000Well, I mean, the first goal here is, of course, we've got to win.
00:41:40.000It's very much of a compressed timeline, as you just alluded to.
00:41:43.000And I think the most important thing we've got to do is educate people as to just exactly who Kamala Harris is, because God knows the national news media is not going to do it.
00:41:53.000I mean, people talk about getting a honeymoon sometimes when you're a new candidate or if you've just announced.
00:41:58.000And you've been watching politics for a long time, Don.
00:42:01.000I have never seen a so-called honeymoon like this, like the way that Harris is getting
00:43:38.000You cast the tie-breaking vote against all of the things you're going to do.
00:43:43.000I mean, why would anyone actually believe she's going to do anything that goes against, A, the Democrat Party and everything they've done, stood for, voted for, you know, in lockstep with the rest of the members of the party?
00:43:58.000Why would Americans actually believe that?
00:43:59.000I mean, it's a powerful machine, but how do you get that message out there and how do you get it across?
00:44:03.000Well, we just have to just hammer it non-stop, and the national news media is not going to help.
00:44:08.000But in fact, they're going to be a barrier.
00:44:12.000Vance are going to have to carry the message.
00:44:14.000He's out every single day that the Democrats will be in Chicago at their convention.
00:44:19.000Our candidate, your dad, the President of the United States, number 45, will be out there on the campaign trail talking to everyone, talking to real voters, making sure everyone knows exactly what the truth is.
00:44:29.000Vance will be doing the same thing, carrying the same message.
00:44:32.000Here at the campaign, we're going to be hammering and hammering and hammering because the national news media won't do it.
00:44:37.000So we're going to have to force people to recognize that when Kamala Harris says that she wants to expand the child tax credit, she voted against doing that very thing when it was within the Trump tax cut package in 2017.
00:44:51.000So when she goes out there and she lies, About what she's going to support and lies about what she always has been, we have to point out the facts.
00:45:00.000And you know, there are some people in the news media who are a little bit fed up about this.
00:45:04.000We have to identify who those people are, go after them, and a lot of this is going to have to be paid messaging as well.
00:45:09.000Just getting the facts out there because we will not be able to rely on the national news media as you and I both know.
00:45:16.000Yeah, that she voted against the child tax credit that she now espouses is a big deal.
00:45:21.000That she says she's going to fix the border that she was in charge of but did nothing for, you know, left it abjectly open is a big deal.
00:45:29.000That they take some of the Trump policies and the next day, you know, they add a couple dollars and then pretend like it's their own.
00:45:37.000It's sort of shocking, but for first-time voters or perhaps apathetic voters, what are the other things that Americans need to know about this Democrat party?
00:45:48.000What's the contrast that we need to draw to affect voters who don't follow this stuff day-to-day?
00:45:54.000If you're an apathetic voter or you're sitting back, I'm not really sure, I guess maybe I'll vote, but you're listening to CNN in the background, You'd believe that Kamala Harris is the greatest gift to, you know, modern day politics that, you know, that ever existed.
00:46:08.000She's, you know, basically, you know, a liberal Margaret Thatcher.
00:46:12.000And yet, the people that are writing those same articles today, 18 months ago, were talking about her incompetence.
00:46:21.000If people are getting their information from CNN, and pretty much CNN only, I don't know that we are going to be able to reach people like that, if that's where they're getting all their information.
00:46:30.000But I'll tell you what is of benefit for us, is because the Democrats, the Democrat Party, especially with Kamala Harris, but they were doing it with Joe Biden as well.
00:46:38.000The only choice they have is to try to lie to people and convince people not to believe their own personal experiences, right?
00:46:45.000In this case, if you're an apathetic voter or even if you are a first-time voter, you just turned 18, you still have lived through both presidencies.
00:46:54.000You've lived through the Trump presidency and you have lived through the Biden-Harris presidency.
00:46:59.000People have experienced the way the country was.
00:47:02.000When Donald Trump was president, and they have experienced it when Biden is president and Harris is vice president in the Biden-Harris regime.
00:47:08.000People know the difference in the policies.
00:47:11.000All you have to do, I think, is appeal to people's memories because they have lived through this.
00:47:15.000They know that we were prosperous, that our economy was good, that inflation was low, that good jobs were plentiful, that our border was secure, that the world was not on fire, that the world was largely at peace when Donald J. Trump was the 45th president when he was in office.
00:47:30.000When Biden and Harris were at the control, the economy is in shambles.
00:47:34.000Inflation comes out of nowhere and is suddenly sky high and ongoing.
00:47:40.000This is the first administration in history that unsecured our border.
00:47:44.000And of course, we know now that the world is on fire because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' feckless leadership.
00:47:51.000That's the way you appeal to people and say, look, we don't have to tell you anything.
00:47:54.000Just remember what you've lived through.
00:47:56.000And that should be a strong enough argument.
00:47:58.000And I think that's the case we're going to be making.
00:48:00.000So, Tim, early voting starts in Pennsylvania on September 16th.
00:49:01.000And we went through this whole argument, talk about the debate schedule back in 2020.
00:49:05.000Of course, COVID wrecked the whole thing.
00:49:08.000But when you have people beginning to vote in mid-September in some states, you know, heck, by the time October even rolls around, you'll have tens of millions of people across the country who will already have had the opportunity to be voting for weeks.
00:49:21.000And so you absolutely have to get to these voters as they're in the early voting period and make sure these messages that we're talking about here, you and I, the contrast between President Trump's positive vision, his positive accomplishments, his positive record, and just the disaster of Harris and Biden, we have to make sure that people know that stuff now.
00:49:41.000Because if they're going to be voting at their kitchen table in just a couple of weeks in Pennsylvania and other places, we need for people to know the stuff that they need to be equipped with.
00:49:51.000Like in Pennsylvania, she doesn't support natural gas.
00:49:54.000She doesn't support the 100,000 jobs where people work in the fracking industry in Pennsylvania.
00:50:11.000And then on day one, day one, like one of the first executive orders, we're going to ban the Keystone Pipeline.
00:50:17.000So now she doesn't oppose it, but why would we believe her?
00:50:21.000She didn't oppose it last time, and they did everything they could to shut it down.
00:50:25.000Not just the national security that comes with that, not just the lower energy pricing that comes with that, not just the great job creation vehicle that would have been tens of thousands of good-paying, hard-working, blue-collar jobs for Americans.
00:50:39.000and yet it was like the media was like oh yeah of course she's not gonna but like but i saw the democrat debates like she of course they were going to block it they would biden and hearst said they were going to stop it then when when it mattered in pennsylvania and at other places they pretended they didn't have to the media pretended that would be the gospel and then they did what they wanted to in the end anyway You're right.
00:50:59.000They are going to do what they want to do.
00:51:00.000The media is going to try to grant her these brand new positions that she's just invented for herself, like fracking is the one.
00:51:06.000She says, hey, I no longer support a ban on fracking.
00:51:09.000And like you're saying, the media is going to let her get away with it.
00:51:11.000The key is, and again, this goes back to how the fact that everybody who votes in this election has lived through both of the previous presidencies.
00:51:19.000People know that the Biden campaign said the same thing.
00:51:23.000Less than four years ago, he said, oh, look, I'm not going to be a threat to fracking.
00:51:26.000I'm not going to be a threat to our natural or to our fossil fuel industry.
00:51:30.000And I'm not going to be a threat to the idea that we can produce our own energy here at home and become domestically energy independent again.
00:52:04.000So in a way, we have, as Joe Biden is an ally of ours, because we can point to him and say, look, Remember what he told you and remember what he did.
00:52:12.000We have to use him as Exhibit A and say, this lady, Kamala Harris, she is exactly the same as him.
00:52:19.000And in fact, she helped tell a lot of the same lies.
00:52:28.000So why should we believe it's different?
00:52:32.000One of one of Biden's original chiefs of staff said it was talking about her incompetence.
00:52:37.000And yet now the media makes her out to be, again, the greatest, you know, political orator in modern history.
00:52:43.000So we have to we have to deal with that.
00:52:44.000But we also have to make sure we get that message out.
00:52:46.000I guess that's why I ask people like share, subscribe, make sure that people actually see this, because honestly, you know, CNN, MSDNC, they're never going to talk about the hypocrisy of these things.
00:53:57.000They'll just say, oh, she supports natural gas, even though that's a flat-out lie.
00:54:01.000So what you do, what Kimberly does, what all the conservative people do on Rumble, all the stuff that goes on, People really need to pay attention and not listen to Jim Acosta and Jake Tapper and the others because they are not going to tell you what's actually happening and how we got to this point.
00:54:18.000How we got to this point is almost as important as everything that's going on today.
00:54:21.000She's a big reason of why we are here today.
00:54:27.000You got to share it so that people see it, right?
00:54:29.000The people that are going to be watching my show and even watching Bongino and others, oftentimes it's going to be a little bit more of that conservative echo chamber.
00:54:37.000And so we got to make sure that independents, we got to make sure that even some liberals see it because that's how we make a difference and really move that margin.
00:54:44.000I have a feeling most of the people, other than the trolls watching this, Voting for Trump.
00:54:48.000But I think there's plenty of independents that if they actually heard the truth, it would sway that.
00:54:53.000And the media is going to do whatever they can to make sure they never hear that truth.
00:54:59.000It absolutely is, and I think that there are some people that once something becomes and reaches critical mass on the conservative side of the fence, in the conservative media, sometimes they reach a boiling point and things can spill over.
00:55:12.000There are things that she's going to have to be forced to address.
00:55:15.000For example, this idea, you know, I never would have expected that the editorial page of the Washington Post or some of their prominent columnists on the pages of the Washington Post would ever dare come out and call into question any of the
00:55:28.000economic proposals that Kamala Harris has made.
00:55:31.000But because there was uproar on the right, I think they took a second look at it.
00:55:35.000And now all the stuff that she's putting out there about price controls, she's actually
00:55:39.000getting blowback from the left because they are so ridiculously bad, the ideas are so
00:55:44.000bad, that it's not just the conservative media, people like you, making enough noise.
00:55:49.000It's others notice it and go, you know, gosh, this one, I hate to say it, that we have to defend.
00:55:54.000They actually chose country over party for once.
00:55:58.000And Kamala Harris is that bad that the editorial page of the Washington Post says that her economic plans will be a disaster.
00:56:29.000Your story's an interesting one and you put yourself in a pressure cooker with all of that and made it through.
00:56:34.000I'm sure as a lot of people deal with these issues as we see it more and more across the country these days, I think that'd be helpful to a lot of people.
00:56:43.000Well, I appreciate the opportunity to talk about it.
00:56:46.000It's called Swing Hard in Case You Hit It.
00:56:48.000My escape from addiction and shot at redemption on the Trump campaign.
00:56:52.000And you're right, I was communications director on the Trump 2020 campaign, now back helping again in 2024.
00:56:59.000But in 2015, I took my last drink of alcohol and I'm over nine years sober now.
00:57:05.000And my story, this book, Swing Hard in Case You Hit It, it traces my story that takes me from waking up in jail one day in Fairfax County, Virginia, to Flying on Air Force One with your dad less than four years later.
00:57:20.000It's how I beat the problem that I had with alcohol.
00:57:22.000And it's also really a story about my two lives.
00:57:25.000One, the political side, which is mostly the 2020 campaign and working for your father.
00:57:30.000And then the other half of the story is the way I was able to beat alcohol.
00:57:33.000And I think there's a lot of stories in there.
00:57:35.000If you have a problem or you know somebody who's had a problem with substance abuse, maybe this will help you.
00:57:40.000If you just like politics and want some behind-the-scenes story from the 2020 Trump campaign, then this is a book that I think you'll also like.
00:57:47.000But I wanted to write a book that would help people the way that the books like this helped me when I was in rehab.
00:57:53.000And so I appreciate the opportunity to talk about it.
00:57:55.000It's called Swing Hard, in case you hit it.
00:57:57.000By me, Tim Mertzahl, available on Amazon right now.
00:58:00.000Well, Tim, thank you very much for everything.
