For Donald Trump, earlier today we learned that the prosecution in the Hush Money case would not oppose his efforts to postpone the sentencing. The courts have now agreed the sentencing in the hush money case is postponed until September because of the Supreme Court ruling on immunity. Major victory for Trump.
Starting point is 00:01:12 We'll see where that leads. So this won't affect the RNC. And then, of course, oh, boy, there is a lot of news about Joe Biden. Other Democrats are now calling for him openly to step down. Leaked internal polling has come out showing that Biden is underwater everywhere. And it's looking like the electoral map is around what, like 330 electoral votes leaning towards Trump. They're not telling you the truth.
Starting point is 00:01:36 But internal polling shows what they know Biden can't win. And now they're entertaining perhaps Gretchen Whitmer. Perhaps Michelle Obama.

Appreciate you having me, Tim. Who are you? What do you do? I am an independent journalist, pretty, I would say, known for yelling at politicians for a living, confronting them in places like Maui and East Palestine, Ohio. Also at the Capitol here right down the road. And yeah, I mean, there's a hell of a lot to talk about here tonight, especially on that front.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Right on. Yeah, the Biden stuff's going to be really interesting. So thanks for hanging out. Absolutely. Ian is here. Hello, Tim. Nick, good to see you. Hannah Clare as well.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Hi, everybody. Ian Crossland. Happy to be back. It's been a while. Been a couple of weeks. We were playing Magic earlier. Yeah, Tim. Ian Crossland. Happy to be back. It's been a while. Been a couple of weeks. We were playing Magic earlier. Yeah, Tim rocked me like three times with some of these new decks he's got. Well, you wiped me out with the CSA deck instantly.
Starting point is 00:03:32 That was just... Did I? Yeah, I just scooped. It was a bunch of new cards, so a lot of when you're playing with new cards, you got to read the cards. That's, you know, it's a steep slope getting up, but once you're up there, it plateaus, and then you can just rock. It's like learning the guitar, I think.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yes. Hannah Clare's hanging guitar, I think. Yes. Hannah Clare's hanging out. I am hanging out.

Starting point is 00:03:56 Kellen's here tonight. Yes, I'm filling in for Serge. He's currently on a mountainside painting a portrait. Is he really? For a landscape. No, no, but I think that would be funny. He might be. Who knows, honestly. Who knows? Let's just say he is. It's a good image. But yeah? A landscape. No, no, but I think that would be funny. He might be. Who knows, honestly.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Let's just say he is. It's a good image. But yeah, I'm Callan, guys. Let's get started. Don't forget, it's MAGA month. Have you guys all changed your profile pictures
Starting point is 00:04:13 to American flags yet? No, I have not. This is where every company, you know, you got to change your profile. I only changed mine. I don't know if like Tim Cass news or anything
Starting point is 00:04:21 changed their profiles, but I put the American flag up. So did you declare this tonight? I declared this like two years ago. Oh, okay. Oh, perfect. Are you going to observe? I will observe MAGA month. I have declared that July is MAGA month. It was like tongue-in-cheek because of Pride month, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:04:36 July is MAGA month. Why are we celebrating one day of freedom when we could be celebrating a whole month of freedom? There we go. Perfect. Burgers, hot dogs, beers, sitting on a floatie in your pool. That's what it's all about. All right. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:04:49 That's right. Let's jump to the news. Ladies and gentlemen, from CNN, Trump's sentencing in hush money case is postponed until September after Supreme Court immunity ruling. Donald Trump will not be sentenced on his business fraud conviction until September. A New York judge ruled Tuesday in the wake of Monday's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity. The delay in sentencing means the former president is likely to escape any concrete punishment for his felony conviction during the summer. At the same time, Trump's election bid has been boosted by President Joe Biden's debate flop that is Democrats wondering whether to replace their nominee. Talk about just, I mean, since Thursday, like the dam broke, everything's coming up Trump. He is just winning, winning, winning.
Starting point is 00:05:33 The Supreme Court ruling. When did this come down? This come down on, it was Thursday, right? The immunity, the immunity was yesterday. Yesterday. It's been a long 24 hours. Seriously. Can you believe that was one day ago?
Starting point is 00:05:45 Right. I was like, that had to have been last week. No. You were expecting it to be last week because they don't typically go. On Mondays, right. They had to extend their term. I was like, wasn't Friday the last day? No, they did extend it.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Trump is just winning across the board. This is nuts. And I actually expect, I don't know that Judge Mershon will accept. I don't know if it's going to go to Judge Mershon. Is Judge Mershon the first line in determining whether or not to overturn this conviction? Yes. He's going to say, screw off. You're convicted. I'm actually surprised they even let them delay the sentencing hearing at this point. I'm shocked by that. Well, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, Alvin Bragg, sent this letter saying, well, we think that their claims are meritless,
Starting point is 00:06:21 but we would be OK with you delaying it by two weeks. Right. So he was saying, you know, it could go to late July, basically. And this is interesting. I don't, I, you know, I don't think Rashad likes Trump. I think he'd be happy to see him locked up. But it is interesting that he was like, it's gonna be a lot more than two weeks. We really got to review this thing. Yeah, well, because this throws in a monkey wrench in the entire case at this point, because they were actually, they were relying on, on evidence that was, you know, the case is literally when Trump was president, he signed a check for his lawyer and that's evidence out. So it's done. Absolutely. And so when, when that is your key point of evidence that you're relying on in order to try to get this conviction and it comes out in the Supreme court is saying, you know, they haven't said this directly
Starting point is 00:07:05 about this case yet, but, you know, from every point of view that I've heard at this point, it seems like that's going to be the argument. I think Marchand's going to do everything he can not to have it thrown out entirely, but to have a new trial again. But obviously a new trial
Starting point is 00:07:19 would probably not occur before the election. So all of this right now. The other thing I have is- So it's not worth anything. Right. So this is September 18th. The other thing that happens is- So it's not worth anything. Right. So this is September 18th. It's sort of mid to late September. Hunter Biden goes to trial on his tax stuff on September 5th.
Starting point is 00:07:32 So we're going to have these dueling trials on opposite coasts as everyone sort of looks at these two political families and say like, what's going on with you guys? Well, because taxation is theft, free Hunter Biden. Free Hunter Biden. I'm kidding on that front. I'm not a staunch- Turns out we're hugely supportive of Hunter Biden. But the gun charge thing, I am all about free Hunter Biden. I'm kidding on that front. I'm not a staunch. Turns out we're hugely supportive of Hunter Biden.
Starting point is 00:07:45 But the gun charge thing, I am all about free Hunter Biden. He should be pardoned. And I hope that the conviction gets challenged to the Supreme Court and they overturn that. Will they release the sentencing date for that? I don't know. What I can say, though, is it's not just this one case. Trump's going to win all of them now. There's no way any of these other cases can stand.
Starting point is 00:08:04 All of them required evidence that were official duties. They are using Trump's and Supreme Court makes an important point. Using the president's official duties as evidence of wrongdoing is to indicate that his official duties are components of wrongdoing. I agree. I mean, they're all out. So he's talking to Mike Pence on January 6th. Official duties gone. He's he's talking to politicians, states about election results, contesting the results. That's out. He's the chief law enforcement officer of this country. I mean, how many lines did we see as the president? He needed to step in and do whatever. Which we know he did, of course, send messages saying go home, whatever else.
Starting point is 00:08:46 But everyone invoked this as his official responsibility to intercede on January 6th. So I don't really understand how that case could go forward. I mean, it is amazing to me that the panic and hysteria has become, well, now we have a king when actually this is something that the Biden administration themselves are probably going to rely on so that no one goes after them in the future. Well, so the reason that this case in D.C. for the J6 situation is going to move forward is because the judge is Judge Chutkin. And I don't know if you know anything about Judge Chutkin, but she is a zealot. OK, she is a left wing zealot that has, you know, imprisoned these J6ers for years and years and years. Probably the you know, that wasn't a randomly selected judge. I know that's what they're trying to say.
Starting point is 00:09:28 But she has to be the one at this point to, you know, throw the case out. She's not going to do that. So they're going to try to push forward with this case. And if anything, the J6 one is the one that would have the least merit at this point, given the Supreme Court ruling. Yeah. So do you think that this is going to make never-Trumpers more hysterical,
Starting point is 00:09:49 or what's the effect going to be? Does anyone look at the Supreme Court's ruling and think, oh, maybe we've gotten this wrong? Are they not already hysterical enough? Is there a ceiling, is what I'm asking. I don't think so. I don't think so. I mean, at this point, you're looking at,
Starting point is 00:10:02 I'm sure you guys heard all, you know, yesterday, the panic from the left. These Congress people that you'd never heard of in your life that came out of the woodwork and say, well, Joe Biden can just at this point, he can just use seal team six to take out President Trump or whatever. I mean, just bonkers stuff where I can't even believe that it's almost like are these people this stupid or are they i think they they literally live in a world where they think being a rogue actor president killing your rivals is official duties but hold on think about this let me just point this out for a second the reason why they're upset about this is because barack obama murdered 16 year old abdulrahman al-alaki an american citizen he was, I believe he was born in Colorado, and he grew up in San Diego, and he was visiting family that he had in Yemen,
Starting point is 00:10:54 and Barack Obama ordered his death. And that's why they're scared, because to them, they have long known the president has the authority to execute Americans without charge or trial, and now they're scared that they can't do anything if that power is used against their interests. Now, I'm not going to say the average Democrat understands any of that. I'm saying at the highest level. Discover the magic of Bad MGM Casino, where the excitement is always on deck.

Starting point is 00:12:07 They're like, I don't believe there's a scenario where Democrats or Republicans are really worried that the Democrats are going to drone strike Trump or send Steel Team 6 in. What this really means is Democrats know Donald Trump can order Steel Team 6 to go after Democrat assets in foreign countries and ain't nothing's ever going to be done about it. They've got assets in Ukraine that are probably operating illegally. You've got people like Hunter Biden, obviously, who operated illegally in Burisma. I don't think he's at risk of anything like that. But imagine if Barack Obama is killed and I believe he killed that there's two I can name off the top of my head, Anwar al-Awlaki and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. Anwar was accused of being a jihadi, so Obama assassinated him. And then his son, who was not accused of anything, was killed in a whoopsie-daisy by Obama.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Obama's administration claimed, think about what happens when Obama murders Americans and they don't do anything about it, because Republicans didn't care either. Now if Donald Trump knows that there's some asset on par with the likes of Anwar al-Awlaki that is assisting Democrats in some way and he targets them, Democrats have no, no, they have no, nothing, they can't do anything about it. Is this because of the, the NDAA ever since they signed that thing, National Defense Authorization Act that they gave the president the authority to drone bomb a citizen because of their assumed that they're a terrorist?
Starting point is 00:13:22 Well, the NDAA didn't do that. The National Defense Authorization Act is re-upped every year, but in 2012, it was the indefinite detention provision. It included a provision that would allow the president to basically rendition anyone at any time for any reason. They could grab you, put a black bag over your head, bring you out to the middle of the ocean, and put you on a boat and torch you for the rest of your life. Yeah, that's when I started speaking up about this craziness. And I think the Supreme Court is just solidifying that that is the law right now. That's how the law reads. If you want to change the law, get rid of that provision.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I'm fine with it. It just means impeach Obama. You have to impeach him retroactively for his actions that he took. And that's never going to happen because the Republican Party, for the most part, is totally down with it. But you've got to impeach him and say that is a high crime. We we hereby assert that action is a high crime and a misdemeanor or misdemeanor is not an official act. Then after you impeach and convict, then you can bring in criminal prosecution. But I find it really interesting that no other former president, no former president has said anything about this at
Starting point is 00:14:19 all. Nothing about the Supreme Court ruling. They're radio silent on it. And you're like, hmm, I wonder why, you know, this this, of course they support this. They actually do. Joe Biden supports this ruling. He's just not going to say that's not politically expedient. Well, it's not on teleprompter. So he doesn't know that he supports it or doesn't support it. I mean, that's the whole thing about all of this, really, which is like, and I said this last night, so I don't mean to be a broken record, but there wasn't a way that the Supreme Court could rule on this issue that would make especially progressives, but just even average Democrats happy. Right. Because all of this is about fear mongering. It's about saying, well, now Trump's going to be out of control and you have to go to the polls because otherwise, you know, everything we know falls apart. When actually I was referencing this before the show, if you watch the way Australian media and British media are covering this issue, they're reporting that it's a new law.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's a new law that is allowing to happen when actually no, it's the Supreme Court's interpretation of existing law. And that's why the Supreme Court is there to to settle these matters. There is a fundamental belief that somehow this is going to change everything when actually it's clarification of how we already operate as a country. And again, the hysteria is what they think will drive voters to the polls. So they need to be mad at the Supreme Court. They need to be fearful of Trump to have any action with their party. So in reality, nothing has really changed with this ruling at all because this wasn't even necessary. It was always understood that presidents had a level of immunity, right?
Starting point is 00:15:40 But this wasn't a problem until Joe Biden decided to weaponize the DOJ to go after his political opponent. That's it. That's the only reason we're even talking about this right now. I got a little bit of a tangent here, but I long thought the Supreme Court needs some sort of term limit, because I think with life extension coming up, you're going to see 150 year olds, 130 year olds, Katonji Brown Jackson, 80 years from now could still be on the court. I agree with that. I wouldn't agree with the idea of, like, term limits, but I do agree with the argument of life extension because we are going to get to the point where you're right. Katonji Brown Jackson will be hooked up like Mr. House in New Vegas
Starting point is 00:16:15 to a gurney with tubes coming out of her, and she's going to be like... Well, I mean, it's sort of like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, though. Right. And, like, when the mind goes... So I put it on Twitter. I'm like, you know, let's... Supreme Court needs term limits. It's sort of like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, though. Right. And like when the mind goes at the old age. So I put it on Twitter. I'm like, you know, let's term Supreme Court needs term limits.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And I think people assumed that I'm only saying that because I disagreed with this verdict, which I don't, by the way. But I think now's a good time. The ball's in your court. If you believe that they did the right thing, the ball's now in your court. You have the power to suggest, even though I believe they do the right thing, I still want to see term limits for these people. See, I think it speaks more to culture.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I think we should have a culture that believes that we have a generation that can take over power. Everyone is so power hungry that really, like, with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I mean, the rumor was that she was not alive and her staff was just pretending she was so they could continue to issue rulings, right? Because they need her as the figurehead. I'm not saying that's true. I'm just saying that was the rumor. You know, but Sandra Day O'Connor stepped down, stepped down really early, fairly young, and she continued to have a life of advocacy and talking about starting educational programs for children. It's the person's decision to stay or leave. And in a lot of these cases, perhaps the justices themselves are power hungry, but also there's a lot of pressure to stay in until it's optimal for the party that they think you align with to replace you.
Starting point is 00:17:23 So that was one of the things that happened with Rutherford. And with Rutherford, she thought for sure that Hillary Clinton was going to win that election. She would be able to, you know, because she couldn't really step down before that. They were having such a hard time even getting Merrick Garland through. Later, they were like, you should have stepped down earlier. Obama could have appointed. Exactly. I mean, this is the thing about the Supreme Court is like, I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Maybe there's a question of like, as we live longer and longer, you know, how long do they want to court? If we had a culture that allowed people to retire and transition power, it would work better. I mean, really, what we're doing to our geriatric leaders right now is kind of crazy. Either they're so power hungry they want to stay in power, Joe Biden, or they are being propped up so that the people under them who can't gain that position rightfully on their own can use it to get their will through with Peter Ginsburg. Let's let's jump to the story. Ladies and gentlemen, I can't say that I am shocked. Daily Mail reports breaking news. Biden admits he, quote, almost fell asleep on stage as he makes laughable excuse for his disastrous debate against Donald Trump. When we were doing story production for the show, I didn't believe this. I was like, wait,
Starting point is 00:18:30 what? When did that happen? Biden admitted he almost fell asleep. Wow. He did at a fundraiser, like literally an hour before the show started, because I saw it. He was, you know, talking. His handlers, you know, didn't have control of him. And he went over and said something to some people about how, you know, and the reason control of him. And he went over and said something to some people about how, you know, and the reason he's saying that he almost fell asleep on stage was because he had been traveling for around the world right before the debate. But that's not even true. I mean, the man forgot that he was on a seven day vacation where he didn't wake up until 11 in the morning and had to take an afternoon nap. I don't know if you guys saw that story earlier as well.
Starting point is 00:19:05 That was in The New York Times saying that. That's not some right wing outlet that came out with that. The New York Times is saying that. Because The New York Times, from what I know about it, was saying that his family is starting to blame his support staff around him, that they did not prepare him well enough. I mean, I think the other part is like we have to look at this word admitted. I think they're trying to now roll out the latest excuse as to why Biden was not so good. Oh, he was he was tired because he's traveling. That makes you look not strong as a president today in her press conference. Corinne, John, Corinne, John Pierre said,
Starting point is 00:19:35 oh, well, as you know, he had a cold and that's why his voice was gruff. Like, it's just lie after lie to present these excuse, hoping that you will be sympathetic to him. I'm not sympathetic to someone who's currently the president of the United States who thinks that they're going to fall asleep on stage. And that's why they are bad at what they're doing and saying that it was a complete lie. No one, no Americans died on their watch when we know very basically that 13 Marines did in Afghanistan. Like it's, I think all the Americans should be insulted by this.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Well, this is a horrible excuse, especially because it was just that story that came out last week that Biden is only, you know, coherent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This just reinforces that as the debate was at, you know, nine o'clock in the evening. It was within five minutes of the debate starting where everybody I mean, you just you looked at at X and everybody was saying the same thing. The drugs aren't working. You know, he's asleep on stage, you know, and this was not a, I don't think this was an approved statement by the Biden team. It sounds like a dig, like an underhanded attempted dig by Biden. If he was a young spry guy, he's like, I was so bored by Trump and the moderators that I knew I was falling asleep. Like I could then he'd be like, ooh, zing, he got him.
Starting point is 00:20:46 But because he's so old and prone to fall asleep in the middle of his conversations, it's not funny. It's like terrifying, actually. Especially because there are reports of him falling asleep in other important meetings. This is something that we now expect from him. Like, I'm sorry if you're falling asleep while literally taping. I would never be able to fall asleep in the middle of this. You need to ace it. That's not good.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I think that journalists are so stupid that Democrats are doing all this on purpose. Because you had the press briefing where journalists finally started asking questions about this. One asked whether or not Biden was suffering from dementia. But these journalists are such, they're such low IQ people. I'm sure if you asked them, how would you, how would they have felt if they did not have breakfast yesterday? They'd act confused. They generally be confused. And so when they ask these questions, it seems like it's questions Democrats actually want asked, because now is now is the time they're making the move to replace Joe Biden. Right. So, yeah, it almost seems like all of these hit pieces that came out this weekend, it's it's not because, oh, these journalists actually care about the good of the country. They care about winning the election in November and they know that Joe Biden can't do it.
Starting point is 00:21:48 So they have to replace him. They have to come out with all of these hit pieces right now and topple him because they got to put somebody else in there. The question is, who? Can you go around, Kamala? No, I don't think you can. One of the things is, I think, and I could be wrong. I've read very, very basic stuff on this. But all of the money that's been fundraised by the DNC for Joe Biden can only go to Kamala Harris if he drops out from from what I read about. I could be wrong on that. But that that would be a huge loss. I mean, that's hundreds of millions of dollars that can't go to Gavin Newsom if they were to try to put him in or else it has to continue on this ticket of Kamala Harris. But you can't even get rid of Kamala Harris to begin with because she's a DEI hire at this point, right?
Starting point is 00:22:29 And so how do you get rid of the first black woman vice president? How do you kick her out of the way and be like, okay, yeah, we're going to install this white guy out of California. Get her to quit first. Yeah, get her to quit first. Well, there you go. There was somebody floating this way. Okay, well, expand to the Supreme Court and put Kamala Harris on it.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I mean, that would get her out of the way, but it sounds like a terrible proposition. And they're also on a limited time, right? They're not going to be able to expand the Supreme Court and get Kamala in before the DNC, before the election. Even if these things were hypothetically possible, there's no turnaround. We know how slow government moves. I mean, Kelvin was talking about this before the show, but AOC being like, I'm going to impeach the Supreme Court right as soon as we get back. Like they're actually kind of on pause right now. There's only four months until the election.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Kamala is not going to get guaranteed a spot in the Supreme Court before the time comes. sort of confirms everything that we have been talking about, or at least I've been saying on X for months now, is that they only agreed to this early debate because they needed this option. They needed to have this option where they could nuke Biden, throw him to the side and still have enough time before the convention to re-nominate somebody else. I think the timing is intentional. The timing is absolutely intentional. They waited this long on purpose. They knew they were going to swap out Biden a long time ago, and they dragged this out as long as they could, perhaps because they want to make it very, very difficult to drum up opposition research. Republicans have no idea who they're up against. Let me let me stress this right now. I think it is fair to say the Republican Party, Donald Trump and the American people have no idea who the Democrat nominee is.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Yeah, it's either going to be Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Hillary Clinton, doubtful. But, like, who else? I don't think they can pull Biden from the ticket. What if they did it? I think he's still going to be on it. Michelle Obama, Newsom, with Michelle Obama as president. Yeah, something like that. She's been saying for the longest time that she won't do it, she won't do it. But as we know, that doesn't actually mean she won't do it.
Starting point is 00:24:25 No, she'll come out and she'll say, we all saw that debate and our hearts go out to the Biden family. But we can tell he is not prepared for a second term. But so as much as I don't want to do this, I am going to do what is asked of me. And then she's on stage. OK, but how do you do that without Biden resigning? You can't say that and then still have Biden as president for the next, you know, six months. He's going to have to resign. I think he will. Well, you also have the DNC. This is how you get rid of Kamala Harris. Joe Biden resigns. She becomes president for that. And then Kamala says there is no
Starting point is 00:25:00 reasonable world where I will spend the last four months campaigning instead of doing my duty to this country. The excuse will be it will be it's impossible to launch a campaign at this at such last, you know, last minute, 11th hour. I'm going to do what I can to help this country make it through these next few months. And I am happy to see Michelle Obama run. And that's how you get. I got to say, maybe this is, I should go predict it and make this back, because I'll tell you what. How do you get past Kamala Harris? You say she's a DEI hire, right?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Many people are like, you can't get rid of her, she's next in line. Michelle Obama. If they threw out Kamala Harris and said, Biden's resigning and we're bringing in Newsom. That can't happen. DEI revolt. However, Kamala Harris becomes acting president two, three months out, maybe four, maybe real soon. Biden says, I'm not a young man anymore. I've done everything I could. There are some people who want to step in and I respect it. I'm resigning. Kamala Harris takes over as president, says, I'm going to, they say, Kamala, are you going to take over the
Starting point is 00:26:05 campaign and run? She goes, no, I'm going to do my job. And that is as acting president to help this country through an emergency. There is absolutely no time or capability for me to launch a campaign. And I'm fine with that. Michelle Obama then says, Kamala, that's so magnanimous of you. I will I will step up because of you made this sacrifice. And then the DEI crowd says, Michelle Obama, that's even better. So for whoever from the DNC is watching this for opposition research, I think I'd use that, actually. That's a pretty good plan. My proposal was for the deep state.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Joe Biden's on stage at a rally and mid-sentence talking about Batacalf care. He goes, Gavin Newsom runs out, throws his jacket off, saves the president's life.

I was just doing what any good red-blooded American would do. He goes on every single television station where they all praise him. Even Fox News says, we may have our disagreements politically, but Gavin, you saved the president's life. Then Kamala Harris does the
Starting point is 00:28:15 whole scenario of, I can't launch a campaign right now. That would be ridiculous. I'm going to do my job. Gavin Newsom says, you know, I wasn't planning on running, but the people have called my name and they've called me to action. I'd say you get Gavin Newsom. OK, but then at that point, a lot of what you said makes a hell of a lot of sense for Michelle Obama. But, you know, how do you push like, how dare you imply that instead of doing my duty during this emergency, I would spend my time campaigning to win power? No. And then they promised her something in the back channel.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I bet. I think she she's too power hungry. I don't think she'd be willing to give it up. Even if she said like, oh, yeah, I'll definitely step down. She would immediately. Right, right. She agrees behind the scenes. They're like, commonly, here's what you're step down, she would immediately launch a campaign. Right, right. She agrees. Behind the scenes, they're like, Kamala, here's what you're going to do.
Starting point is 00:29:08 You're going to say you're acting president. We're going to give it to Newsom or Michelle Obama. Then we'll make you a Supreme Court justice. She goes, well, all right, sounds good to me. Gets up on stage and goes, I'm running. And they're like, oh. They kind of did this with Biden in 2020. They had all these candidates that were running against him.
Starting point is 00:29:24 And then all at once, behind the scenes, some discussions were made. Buttigieg lands on his cabinet and they all support Biden at once. I could see them all doing that, including Kamala. Just one day, they're like, the superdelegates have chosen Obama and Newsom. And they've got the support of every Democrat because they go behind the scenes for it. Let's really simplify it. Open convention at the DNC. Everybody chooses Obama Obama Newsom. Kamala Harris says
Starting point is 00:29:48 it's the will of the party and that's the end of it. There's no complicated story there. I don't think Biden will leave office. I think even if, you know, I think he will be on the ticket in November. Even if they do, he says like, oh, I'm just gonna be a one-term president.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I'm not gonna go forward. I don't think that he would actually give up the presidency. I think that there is a desire to stay in power, to end your career on top, a.k.a. being the president. And it's just unlikely to me that, especially given, what, six months until Inauguration Day, he's not going to leave. Except that when they do go to the president and they slide that picture of Kennedy across the table and they're like, just remember who's in charge. Like, they might do that to Biden, too, and be like, you get to retire now. And they'll slide a picture of Kennedy across the table and they're like, just remember who's in charge. Like they might do that to Biden too and be like, you get to retire now. And they'll slide a picture of Kennedy across the table.
Starting point is 00:30:28 He'd be like, I don't understand what this is. I'm going to continue on. Jill, what are we doing? He's going to be like, oh, JFK, good president. They're going to be like, yes, Joe. And an untimely death. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, thanks for coming in.
Starting point is 00:30:43 They're going to be like, uh. The CIA guy walks out and he's like, I don't think he got it. You know that term, ignorance is bliss? Like, he can just keep going. He doesn't need to know. Let's jump to this story. This is big news. We have this tweet.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Per Puck News. Leaked Democrat internal polling from open labs. Ladies and gentlemen, it is substantially worse than anybody realizes. According to this leaked polling data internal from Democrats, Joe Biden is down in double digits in several key states. Even look at New Hampshire. He's down three points. Wisconsin, four points. I made this argument earlier that I think if you take the 270 to win map, toss up states are now lean Republican and lean Democrats are now toss-ups. After that debate, it was so bad.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And you can actually see this. Look at this. The margin drop post-debate because of Biden's performance. It is two points across the board in basically every state. He's lost two solid points in key states. And there's no denying it at this point. I know you still get people like Jennifer Rubin is on Twitter all day being like, oh, the polls are exactly the same as they were months ago. And I'm like, OK, well, just look at them, lady. But this is clearly a strategic
Starting point is 00:31:56 leak. The Democrats are usually a lot better about keeping things hush-hush internally. And all of a sudden, we got leaked internal polling because they're in scorched earth mode at this point look at you know pennsylvania arizona uh nevada georgia places trump supposedly lost last election he is in he's deeply underwater in those those territories i mean look there's no way for him to win with this you you take north carolina georgia arizona nevada and i turned them red trump Trump wins. Election's over. Election's over. But he's also underwater in Wisconsin. Yep.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And Michigan. And Michigan. I mean, that's it. Yep. 3-12 Republican. It was so transparent. This is the internal Democrat data right now. Take a look at this.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Bobby Barak says, I've seen different maps, but from my calculation, this is the map projection based on Open Lab's new internal polling data, meaning if Open Lab's polling holds, it will be 205 Democrats, 333 Republicans, but I'll tell you what's going to happen. They're going to have an open convention at the DNC, and they're going to nominate somebody else. Kamala Harris gets tossed out, and everyone's wondering what's the political move. There doesn't need to be one. She has no choice. She'll come out and say, I am happy that the people of the convention have spoken. It's democracy.
Starting point is 00:33:11 We love democracy. Thank you, everybody. And that's it. I get the feeling that she feels humiliated frequently in this position this season, too. Like, she wasn't really qualified. She got picked. She wasn't even, was she even running for president? Yeah, she was running for president. She was, like, on the poll.
Starting point is 00:33:24 She had, like, 2%. And she dropped out, got a facelift, and came back as his VP. And after she said that she thought that Biden was a racist and had done things to women and such too. Oh, and then flipped like a 180 right after. How do you go from, but all right, well, I mean, but we know exactly what happened there. And she's only polling one point higher than Joe Biden in the theoretical polling data that's coming out. You know, Trump versus Kamala matchup. It's not good. She's always been unpopular. I mean, that's one of the issues. From the moment she stepped foot in office.
Starting point is 00:33:54 And Biden made her the border czar. Well, look how well that's going for everybody. And then she was on a national abortion tour. Like she is too hostile of a character. I don't think that she could actually launch a campaign at this point i think she could go back to california and potentially win governorship if newsom leaves uh that might be the play right there it is i think that's totally because he's term limited so she checks out of this situation goes back to california becomes the governor freeing him up to write a book and then run for president that's an interesting philosophy but the i think your point that that it's interesting that there's even a leak at all is a good
Starting point is 00:34:28 one to bring up because I think it speaks to the fact that there is intense internal chaos within the Democratic Party. And I have thought this for a long time. Democrats are always like, Republicans are all crazy. They don't get along. But that's because Republicans are ultimately all people who have different values who are trying to sort it out. Whereas if you have a party that's like everyone fall in line and people stop doing that, it's much more divisive.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And I think the fact that they're throwing these polls out would be indicative if it was an intentional leak by someone inside. The campaign is saying we can't do this. We need to force the Biden family to accept that he needs to leave and they will never do that. But I mean, we literally even had leaks out of Camp David this weekend, which unheard of. Unheard of talking about how the Biden family was blaming, you know, top advisors like Ron Klain and stuff and putting all the blame from the poor debate performance on his advisors. Intense internal division. Yeah, exactly. You know, we heard about that Biden sleeping hours from or his awake hours are from 10 to 4.
Starting point is 00:35:26 And I mean, all of this happening at one time, they're trying to force him out. I heard that his advisor when they were prepping for the debate was basically prepping Biden to face a hostile Trump, a Trump that was going to insult him and make fun of him. So Biden went in expecting that. And Trump was just super chill. Biden just stumbled around on himself. You know, That was great. I always didn't want Trump to come off as hostile because that was the big criticism of him in 2020, right? That he was too aggressive and whatever else. And it made Biden comparatively look kind of calm and cool. So Biden demanded, the Biden camp demanded
Starting point is 00:35:57 that there would be a mute button and no audience. I think both of those things backfired on Joe Biden because Trump couldn't just keep speaking. I mean, there's nothing that he could say. He could not railroad Biden even if he wanted to. And, you know, Trump's a showman. If you have an audience, you're trying to get a reaction out of the audience as well. There was no audience to get a reaction out of.
Starting point is 00:36:16 And so Biden had more than enough rope to hang himself. I thought it was perfect. Yeah, it's also interesting because I could be misremembering here, but I'm pretty sure the first person to talk despite being muted was Biden. You know, so there was a level of like there were these rules that were supposed to hurt Trump, but it seems like Biden was the one suffering. And I think ultimately all of this comes down to what is the perception of the American people. And it's not one that I think is recoverable because they have damaged themselves on two front. Right. They Joe Biden looks weak. He looks lost. He looks confused. He looks like he doesn't know what's going on. He keeps saying Trump is
Starting point is 00:36:49 lying, but there are very obvious, clear signs that he was lying or at least misremembering, which is also not good. But then also for months, the mainstream media, which, as we know, is largely an apparatus of progressive or democratic causes, said everything is fine. Anytime a right wing person says that something's up with Joe Biden's balance or memory or walk or anything, they're crazy. They're conspiracy theorists. They're, you know, disrespectful to the president. And then he came on stage and it was not good.
Starting point is 00:37:17 He did not seem like a strong, healthy man. You know, what really kind of cements all this, that he's not going to be the nominee, is that Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper are going so hard against him and pointing out that his dementia or if it's Alzheimer's, I'm not sure they're different, obviously, but like they're they're basically controlled by the by CNN with their company, parent company, which is controlled by Five Eyes, you know, the Imperial Spy Club, whatever you want to call it, the deep state. And so all the signs are there that the deep state has decided to all the signs are there that the
Starting point is 00:37:45 deep state has decided to allow this criticism of the guy. They wouldn't do that if they wanted him to win. And they're not going to let him win if they don't want him to win. He's the DNC gets to pick their own candidate with superdelegates. They have zero chance. Like Biden in no way gets any kind of popular opportunity. It's that whatever the DNC wants to do is what they're going to do. Right. So the polling data extended that shows Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Newsom and Whitmer, no matter who it is, they're underwater. Trump only needs North Carolina, Arizona and I believe Georgia. So let's do this. Let's reset the map and say North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. OK, so so that still puts him a little bit shy. So let's throw in, I guess he
Starting point is 00:38:25 would need at least one more. Buttigieg, they say, is they're claiming Buttigieg is doing the best. North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, he would need one more state. But to be fair, how are they doing in PA? Looks like Democrats are doing moderately well in PA. I think Michigan probably doesn't make the most sense. The state that makes the most sense is probably going to be PA, which looks like they're all underwater. So if Trump secures that based on this polling, no matter who they bring in, Trump wins. I mean, right now, Biden is underwater in PA. Buttigieg is only underwater by 0.4, margin of error.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Harris is underwater by two points, Newsom by 1.3, and Whitmer by 0.3. Michelle Obama. It's got to be Michelle Obama. There's no other. And look, this isn't something I want to say. Michelle Obama doesn't want to do it. Well, why do you believe? Why believe that?
Starting point is 00:39:10 Right. I think that she has a really nice life. She does. So did Trump. So did Trump. Look, she's not running for office. I mean, Hillary Clinton was first lady and then ran for governor of New York, right? Michelle Obama has been hanging out on yachts and raising her kids and doing whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Private jets around the world. She's on her podcast. She did not make any forward political moves when they left the White House. That's very different from Hillary Clinton, who we know if they asked her to run, she would run right now. But Barack Obama looks over at Michelle and he goes, Michelle, if you don't run, I'm going to jail. So you got to do it. That's it. But it's also about the Obama legacy as well, because Obama has tied himself so tight to Joe Biden now, especially doing all these fundraisers going around the around the country with him. And, you know, he's basically dragging Biden along. It's going to look awful on on Obama and his legacy if this is just if everybody totally melts down in the Democrat Party.
Starting point is 00:40:04 So interesting that she is his savior. It's interesting that you said because I have felt like since Joe Biden announced he was running for office, the Obamas have been trying to distance themselves from him. Well, they wouldn't endorse him in the primary. Wouldn't endorse him. Anytime they've kind of talked about him, it's been sort of muted. Even Obama's last sweeping like bad debate nights happen. Like it did not seem like a really strong, supportive argument.
Starting point is 00:40:26 It was sort of like, yeah, I know that guy and like be nice to him. It's kind of sad. But that's not how the people see it, though. I think it is how they see it. I think people know that the Obamas are distant from from Joe Biden. And I think that there's a level of like they expected there to be more buddy, buddy Obama presence at the White House. And I do think Obama, especially his staff, have huge influence on the Biden administration, especially at the staffing level. But I think
Starting point is 00:40:49 Obama himself does not believe that he has a real strong connection with Joe. It's always seemed to me, the perception for me has been that the Biden family is always trying to point out how close the families used to be, that their granddaughter and one of the Obama daughters were graduated the same year, whatever else. It's always the Biden sort of trying to lean on the Obamas, not the other way around. I want to pull up this tweet from Glenn Greenwald. Really interesting here. CNN admits something unbelievably embarrassing. Many in the media failed to report more on Biden's cognitive issues because they feared, quote, blowback from the White House and Democrats or worse, age stories angered the White House and the liberal Twitter sphere the most.
Starting point is 00:41:27 These people are in a cult, OK? They are so terrified to offend. They won't say it. Meanwhile, Donald Trump goes on stage at the Libertarian Convention and gets boos, jeers and cheers, willing to accept that challenge. The media on the right has no problem calling out Trump. Even Laura Loomer. There is no bigger supporter of Donald Trump than Laura Loomer.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Even she called out Trump over his immigration policy for college graduates. If Laura Loomer can instantly go on Twitter and say, I love Trump, but no way. And Democrats are like, well, we'd say things about Biden, which are painfully obvious, but the Democrats on Twitter will get mad at us. That is the world that y'all live in. If you're following this media. And they also, what the hell is their job though, at this point, if you're telling me that you're not, that you're scared to report on the white house, why are you reporting on the white house? They're not invited to the parties. Yeah. They're just trying to get engagements and try to keep their overblown media companies afloat.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Right. They don't want anyone to say, you wrote something I don't like, so I'm not going to click on your website anymore. They need it to be something that people want to come back and people don't want to read hard things. I'll give a shout out to RFK Jr. We've criticized him several times and he agreed to do a full show with us. He's legit. Yeah. I've actually criticized Trump quite a bit, though we are supporters of his. And he had no problem with a smile on his face. He was like, let's sit down. Let's do a full show with us. He's legit. Yeah. I've actually criticized Trump quite a bit, though we are supporters of his,
Starting point is 00:42:46 and he had no problem with a smile on his face. He was like, let's sit down. Let's do a show. And more in the works. It is unsurprising to me that these individuals want to engage with those who have criticized them. It is, in fact, where you want to be. Joe Biden should be coming on shows like this
Starting point is 00:43:04 because these are the people he needs to convince, but they won't do it. You know why? Because they know they can't. Right. Well, they're going to put him on George Stephanopoulos this weekend. You know, the Clinton, you know, political strategist, who's a top level Clinton advisor back, you know, when Bill Clinton was president, you know, always maintained a close relationship with them, pretty much was Hillary's mouthpiece in 2016. That's the interview that they decided that they were going to do, you know, pretty obviously after this disastrous debate.
Starting point is 00:43:33 I think that airs this weekend or something like that. With many, many jump cuts to make it look like there's a rapid discourse. You know, they put out a video from the White House, and if he's trying to say, you know, a paragraph, there are three jump cuts in it. I mean, that's exactly how this interview is going to be, too. Probably a little bit more well done to the point where it convinces the general public that it's not a jump cut. It's wild to me that, you know, we had Luke Rutkowski on the show, for instance, for a very long time. And many people in the audience accused Trump accused Luke of having Trump derangement syndrome. And yet Trump supporters with smiles on their faces come in and sit down next to Luke and
Starting point is 00:44:06 say, ask me anything. And now even even Luke has tweeted, I'm voting for the felon over over the over the the other word. It took him long enough. It's look, I see. My point is really simple. It's like Trump. Trump's people will gladly sit down and debate someone who doesn't agree with them
Starting point is 00:44:26 and they will have that conversation that's it you can criticize them and they'll say in fact I tell you this if I made a two-hour show just a list of everything that I thought Trump was wrong about my email would be slammed with Trump supporters being like let me come on the show and talk to you about this the left left is the opposite. They say, in this CNN article, the fear among these journalists is that if they report negative stuff, Karine Jean-Pierre is going to be like, we're not going to let you come to the White House anymore. They don't want anyone near them. It's an inversion. That clearly works on some people, though.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Oh, of course. And it blows them in their faces. You've got to be a little bit fair to Joe Biden, though. I mean, he just did a really hard-h hitting interview with Harry Sisson a couple of weeks ago. Oh, yeah, it was great. Asked him about his ice cream and whatnot. I mean, it was good. What flavor ice cream?
Starting point is 00:45:13 It's a chocolate chocolate chip. That's the chocolate chocolate chip. It's double chocolate chip. Yeah. And, you know, I'm surprised a man flavor took him. It changed from vanilla bean, you know, within. I don't know how that changed. So I guess I forgot. I don't know how that changed so I guess I forgot.
Starting point is 00:45:25 I don't know what happened there. That's a scandal. Why is nobody reporting on this? Everybody knows chocolate chip is the manliest of flavors because those chocolate chips are hard. And for someone like Joe Biden whose teeth constantly fall out, it's a challenge to eat. Suck it till it melts. I think not only are they afraid of not getting invited to the White House for these things, but they're also afraid that the White House, if they criticize the president or his administration,
Starting point is 00:45:49 that they're going to give them the Twitter treatment, that they're going to go in behind the scenes and be like, all right, CNN, no more funding for you for whatever we do surreptitiously behind the scenes. And that just indicates that the entire deep state mockingbird media apparatus has turned on this administration, that they're allowing their two two of their star reporters to criticize so openly and and fervently and which i mean i see no other path then they're not going to get elected the white house uh corinne trompierre and also uh the chief uh spokesperson for the campaign had to be like look we know that that was kind of a rough debate. I mean, it was so bad they acknowledged it instead of just trying to be like, no, of course he did great.
Starting point is 00:46:28 He was stunned by all of the lies Donald Trump was saying. It was so bad. There was no way for them to play it off. They tried. That's critical. They tried in the beginning. Well, Jill Biden did anyway. You did so good, Joe.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Oh, that was so gross. You answered every question. You knew every fact. And he. Oh, that was so gross. You answered every question. You knew every fact. And he's like, that is crazy. That's the craziest thing. Is that a video of him basically crying on stage? You see that? No.
Starting point is 00:46:52 He really wanted to go home. At the end scene, I think so. He's probably really tired. Yeah. Jill's talking, and he's sitting there with his face just like this, like, and people were saying he was crying. And I'm like, he kind of looks like it. I bet he's humiliated. He doesn't want want to do this he does not want to do it but you know now they've got
Starting point is 00:47:09 obviously the the family at camp david this weekend you know another leak that came out saying that they were all keep fighting joe keep fighting joe keep fighting joe that's what they were telling him and now you've got hunter biden going around to white house meetings with him these and even to the point where his advisors are asking what the hell is happening. That's a quote from one of the advisors to, I believe it was the New York Times today. They did a report on that. Nobody knows why Hunter Biden is with him, but that's because Hunter Biden is basically they're being charged at this point to make sure nobody gets too close to Joe Biden to convince him to drop out.
Starting point is 00:47:47 They're like guard dogs now. I've heard that Joe has been taking advice from Hunter. Discover the magic of Bad MGM Casino, where the excitement is always on deck.

Starting point is 00:48:56 So I don't know why, you know, that's sad, but that's weird. Like, I mean, they're probably afraid that if Joe doesn't get into power, the family's going to get arrested and exposed and things like that. I also think no one wants to go out in a moment of weakness. Right. Like, I assume on some level they just want to stay in power because of the benefits and the influence. But also, I doubt that any of them wanted to be like, your dad was so senile and none of you would would say anything like they want it to be on their terms, if at all.

So you're saying that they could potentially be trying to prop him up a little bit right now by doing these, like he did this speech yesterday, you know, where I'm sure he was practicing all day for it, you know, after the naps and such, uh, where he comes out and, you know, tries to, you know, in his, uh, orange, uh, makeup. Or even the, the rally right afterwards in North Carolina. Right. And his campaign pointed
Starting point is 00:49:45 to that saying, oh, well, he was great then. So obviously, it's crazy to even talk about the debate. Stop talking about it. I mean, they don't like that answer. But the reality is that when you're the president of the United States, the leader of any country, you are probably going to be under a tremendous amount of pressure. And there are probably a lot of moments where you are functioning on very little sleep under a lot of, with a lot of personal issues going on. And you have to be performing at as close to the best as you can. And if that was Joe Biden's best, then I think all Democrats should sue their party because this is a terrible choice. I think it was the worst debate performance of all time in American history. I don't know. I'm sure there are some worse debates on presidential debate, presidential debate,
Starting point is 00:50:24 televised presidential debate. I should clarify. I some worse debates on presidential debate, presidential debate, televised presidential debate. I should clarify. I mean, it was pretty rough. But I think the reality is that they I don't think I think Biden wants to stay in office. I think his family wants him to stay in office. I think his advisers, if they had been smart, would have advised him to be a one term president two years ago. And they're all going to have to go down with this ship because there's I just really don't think that they will, you know, gracefully exit. And there are a lot of states saying it's too late. He's on the ballot. But Biden, I think the only reason that Biden wants to continue on, if he does want to continue on, which I think I don't I don't think that he does. That's just what I would say. But he can't he doesn't want to be remembered as a one term president because every one term president that comes to mind, you know, you think of them as
Starting point is 00:51:07 a failure. I mean, he postured when he was running in 2020 that he was going to be a one term president because he could honorably step aside for the next generation of Democratic leadership, which was presumably female and of color. And so theoretically, they have this moment this whole time to say, oh, no, we were always going to be a one term president. Instead, they launched his real. Somebody at some point intervened and said, nope, that's not what we're doing. You know, you're going to keep going. Biden family. Yeah. Biden family. Exactly. We aren't leaving no matter what we said to you when we were deal making back in the day. We are staying in power. And that's and that's the point about Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:51:40 They'll cut a deal with her and say, Kamala, here's what we're going to do. And she go for sure. And then she's going to get up on stage and be like, four more years. And then they're going to go, ah. I don't know if you know this about politicians, but famously, you're not supposed to trust them. Yeah. Well, but like, is it the deep state who is surprised they could not trust Joe Biden? What do you mean trust him? Well, I mean, the idea being that he's a one-term president, he's a placeholder.
Starting point is 00:52:01 He's going to absorb the sins of the Democratic Party so they could reverse Trump's. They knew reversing Trump policy was going to cause damage to the country. They didn't want to absorb all that damage. So they send in Joe Biden, who's old and weak, have him do all of the policies that destroy everything and they get him out. Then they bring in somebody else like Newsom. Yeah, I think they wanted to trust him. And now they know they can't. And that's why they're letting their hounds loose. And I mean, like, Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper. No, no, no. It's all the plan, man.
Starting point is 00:52:29 It's all the plan. Well, it's not that they don't trust him, because he's basically a puppet at this point. In my mind, it's because he's not useful anymore because he can't win. So, you know, of course they'd want to use him for another four years. But they know that they can't. It's over. It's over for Joe Biden. He cannot win.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Everybody knows that at this point. And even if he's on the the ballot you said he's on the ballot in a lot of states already i think even if he wins or gets that then the dnc superdelegates can still superdelegates can say we choose nick sorter isn't that sort of what they did to bernie in 2016 didn't they as far as i know yes i think so so he couldn't win anyway because of the superdelegates you know even if he won the majority of states he still still wouldn't be able to win. They were going to pick Hillary Clinton. Yeah, they were going to pick Hillary one way or the other. And I think was, is Bill a superdelegate?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Her own husband was one of the people that gets to choose. Based on nothing at all, then who he wants to pick. He can pick anybody. He can pick absolutely anybody. Do you know how many superdelegates there are? How many of them convene and collude? I don't know off the top of my head. I know it's a huge portion of them.
Starting point is 00:53:30 I pray that my friends that consider themselves Democrats understand the danger of allowing a relatively small group of people to just select your candidate. There's nothing democratic about the Democratic Party. Oh, I know. In name only, you might say. Literally ironic that they would call themselves Democratic and work in such a fascistic way that they choose the candidate for you, even though you vote for somebody else. That's insane. Well, that's what I'm wondering is, right, so we've gone through all these names about who would replace Biden, but with Gen Z supporting, like,
Starting point is 00:53:57 just being so anti-Israel, would there be any Democrat that could even have a chance? Like, I think that's something we haven't talked about. It's got to be somebody that hasn't talked about the issue right now. And I think Trump has done pretty good at staying away from that issue for the most part. He said a little bit more at the debate, but it was just so overshadowed by everything else that was going on with Biden that nobody's really talking about it.
Starting point is 00:54:18 But I don't know. Does anybody even know what Gavin Newsom's stance on... Probably put out a supportive tweet for Israel at one point, but he hasn't been engaged in the issue. Sure, like a lot of Democrats, he's postured on both sides of the issue. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:30 But that's actually not good enough for Democratic voters, which I find fascinating, right? And it's an age divide in the party. I think a lot of older Democrats are like, no, we have to be behind Israel 100%. And younger Democrats say, no, genocide Palestine.
Starting point is 00:54:42 You know what I mean? So the reality is, I don't know, especially four months out from the election, that there is an obvious contender because I'm sure I mean, how many of these protests were happening at the University of California campuses, right? Some of the worst ones. Some of the worst ones were in California, which means that Gavin Newsom had to respond to them, which I'm sure means that there are progressive activists that think he's awful and in bed with Israel and whatever else.
Starting point is 00:55:08 And, you know, this is something that I think there is not an easy way for anyone to navigate away from. And I think ultimately that's why the DNC will rely on scaring people. Right. You can't you can't let Trump be the one to pick the next Supreme Court nomination. I saw a post on social media where this girl saying, I don't care if he's in a coma. I'm voting for Biden because it's about the staff that's behind him. And at that point, there's no reason to bring in a new face and trying to have to acclimate all the voters to him. Like, if you just believe Biden's going to be there sort of in, you know, in presence only and that you're voting for the staff, you know, you don't need them to swap out a candidate because you don't believe in it anyways. I can't believe we're at that point where there are legitimately people
Starting point is 00:55:50 that are being like, yeah, well, we don't know who's running the country, but, you know, they're probably decent people. I mean, they don't know and they don't seem to care. It's just they've been told to hate Donald Trump, so they're going to continue hating Donald Trump. They can't really give you a reason. Vote blue no matter who. Vote blue no matter who.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I was talking to my sister the other day who is not involved in politics at all. She liked Joe Biden up until the debate. But now I'm like, so what is your biggest concern with President Trump? And she's like, oh, well, his Project 2025. That's the line that they're using at this point where it's like, oh, well, oh, well, Trump is going to he's going to come and he's going to do all these. Project 2025 isn't even his platform. What is it? It's something that the Heritage Foundation put out.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Think Tank drafted policy plans. Policies and also like, hey, we'd like to staff this way. Like, it's not that threatening. They have been like, because I'm so. It has nothing to do with Donald Trump at all. It's just a think tank putting it up. But the Democrats are, it's not that threatening. They have been like, because I'm so scared. It has nothing to do with Donald Trump at all. It's just a think tank putting it up.
Starting point is 00:56:47 But the Democrats are using it as a scare tactic. So even if you get your news from TikTok, you think that this is all Joe Biden's plan or Donald Trump's plan. That's all they got.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Let's jump to this story. We got this from Interactive Polls. Polymarket. Will Joe Biden drop out of the presidential race? In May, 13%. In June, 26%. 21 percent, July 2nd, 50 percent. So those who bought in in May are very, very happy. We're there right now. Now,
Starting point is 00:57:13 here's the thing you got to understand about these betting markets. It's not like sports betting where you say like Moneyline, I think so and so is going to win. They do. You get paid out the way the betting markets are work is that you'll you'll go to you'll go to the betting betting market. It'll say chance for Joe Biden to drop out 13 13 cents or like predicted does this. You'll say, OK, I'll buy 1000 shares at 13 cents each. Then when it jumps to 50, you can sell all those shares. You profit or you hold on to them, hoping Joe Biden does drop out and then you'll get a dollar for every share you bought. But there are a lot of people who made money off this already
Starting point is 00:57:51 by buying in that Joe Biden would not be. Imagine this. You go on, predict it. Check this out. Will Joe Biden resign during his first term? Twenty six cents. So if you bought when it was at 11 cents on June 25th, and it's kind of funny because anybody paying attention like we were, anybody who watches this show knew the debate was going to be bad. Imagine if you were like, all right, I'll buy 1,000 shares at 11 cents. Then the debate happened and it jumped to 20 cents. Now you doubled your money.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Oh, it's higher than after the debate. Oh, of course. Well, yes. Now because you have Biden's campaign co-chair coming out today, Jim Clyburn coming out, and then floating the idea of Kamala Harris being at the top of the ticket at this point. Yo, look at this. It's crazy. Look at this right here.
Starting point is 00:58:37 And that's why Kamala Harris is up so far today. Unpredicted, Joe Biden is down 19 cents. So this means, you look at this, you could have bought Kamala Harris at Newsom at 8 cents. Kamala Harris at 23 cents. You could have bought shares of Harris June 26 for 5 cents. Look at that, 5 cents. And now she's at, where she's currently at 29 cents. Wow. 600%. 600% return. Not that I'm advocating anybody do anything like this. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:59:11 I kind of feel like, I bring this up all the time. We watch the news all day, every day. We know what Nancy Pelosi is betting on. I'm like, I should trade stock. Right. Because I'm like, how am I missing these stories? We all knew the debate was going to be apocalyptic for Biden. We could have got in on that.
Starting point is 00:59:26 I had no idea it was going to be that bad. His voice. I don't know if you guys were, you guys just shocked back the moment on this show, the first word of his mouth, everyone went, whoa, I was flipping back and forth from you guys and Luke Rutkowski show.
Starting point is 00:59:38 And I, but I had to like keep it volume because I wanted to just to lock into the debate itself. And God, the moment his voice, it was just, it was another man. I'd never seen it before I'd never seen that's when they immediately started dispatching uh people to start leaking oh well Biden has a cold you know they came out and they started he's had this cold for like six or seven months I mean if you heard him when he was speaking
Starting point is 00:59:57 to the press in Paris uh during the D-Day remembrance or ceremonies you know he had a really raspy gravelly voice has been going on for a little while. And at the time they were like, how dare you say that? It's crazy. That's that's fake information that there's anything wrong with his voice. I mean, the White House, you know, they are there to serve Joe Biden. So the fact that they're lying to the American public to make him look better is not super surprising. We just don't love that. But then it was the media just parroted all the same information. There was no one saying like no no i know that i heard that his voice is bad i mean one of the problems with him on stage the second he started talking is that we
Starting point is 01:00:32 had this sort of thought that well maybe it's just like 90 minutes and he'll pull together and he'll drink the gatorade and whatever else they give him and he'll really come out strong and it was weak from the get-go well the, the bar was so low, too. The bar was so low because, you know, honestly, we, or I, I won't put you guys into it, but I set the bar really, really low based on just, you know, tweeting about it and being like, you know, there's just no way this guy's going to, this is going to be, you know, the debate of the century if you're a Trump fan. And it's like, you know, and then coming into it, I'm like, OK, well, he just has to not be a corpse.
Starting point is 01:01:07 And he's going to claim victory because that's all that anybody expected. But he couldn't even do that much. I think that's why the betting market was so, you know, skewed toward Joe Biden staying in the race and such before. And then now it's. This is the news cycle from 2020. Stay alive, Joe Biden. Democrats need little from the front runner beyond his corporeal presence. They're getting less than they need.
Starting point is 01:01:32 No, no, no. When they were claiming it was cheap fakes, when we were calling out Joe Biden's failing health, they knew they were lying the whole time. That's why I'm saying this is part of the plan. CNN all of a sudden is like, oh, geez, oh, that performance was terrible. They knew back in 2020 when The Atlantic wrote this. They knew the dude was on the verge of death. I'm wondering, did Jake Tapper not know? I mean, he was in the room with them like 34 feet away from the guy.
Starting point is 01:01:54 So he must have been like just rocked to the core by how decrepit Joe had become. But like, they leave their own propaganda, right? They are not allowed to question Joe Biden's health. And they were told, well, he's fine. It's fine. And he really told, well, he's fine. It's fine. And he really doesn't do that many interviews. So they were falling in line with the thing that they were being told. And I think that's sort of what got them into this mess.
Starting point is 01:02:13 I think there are insiders who know how bad it is. And they were sort of hoping everyone would turn a blind eye. But it was so undeniable. And then everyone, including the voters, but a lot of people in the media, they believe that if the White House says Joe Biden's fine, he's fine. They believe their own propaganda. I still think Dana Bash and Jake Tapper were there to save him. I think they were still on his team, but it was so bad that they couldn't even do anything
Starting point is 01:02:34 about it. I mean, you saw you saw Dana Bash at points. I don't know if you guys saw this video or not, but, you know, there are times where she's on camera, like pointing to get his attention to be like look over here jake's asking a question and you know so they were actively trying they look stressed to me i mean they're professional news people so they have a bit of a poker face but there was a level of like i don't think it was um a comfortable position to be in and i think that was apparent we talked about last night on the show when joe biden was trying to get off the stage after the debate they didn't look
Starting point is 01:03:04 shocked this is not news to them like. They've known this all along that Joe Biden's not in a good place. He's not fit. When he couldn't bend his knees and his wife had to hold his hand to get him down one step. I mean, I think the reality is, is there anything that Joe Biden could do in the next three weeks to really win back the confidence that he's shaken in the American people? If I see him going for a jog and talking normal, yeah. I was about to say golfing. If he goes golfing and really does whatever he said he was going to do. If he can get that six handicap again.
Starting point is 01:03:31 If he beats Trump. Yeah. Trump-Biden golf tournament. That's where it's at. Wasn't that what Dave Portnoy said? He was like, forget this. It's settled on the golf course. A six handicap.
Starting point is 01:03:41 That's nuts. That's a ridiculous thing. That was what shook Trump the most. He was just appalled by that. Well, Portnoy had the funny tweet where it was like, nothing Biden said phases Trump until he mentions he has a six handicap.
Starting point is 01:03:54 And then Trump nearly falls off the stage. Well, then Trump hit him on that and then he started backtracking a little bit and then the next sentence was eight handicap. So it went up. So not a six, it was an eight. It became an eight after that. An eight's it's crazy it is it's crazy for for me and i grew up golfing yeah well i love trump i've seen your swing there's no way i bet he has you know but oh dude there's so many videos
Starting point is 01:04:18 of biden trying to golf and it's hilariously bad we watch watch leftist freaking out when Trump was elected in 2016. But Trump, when he needs a lift, watches Joe Biden golfing, like just to laugh at him. So I'm wondering if if the news media now is all ramped up and afraid of Trump. And so they're they're like Joy Reid seems very afraid. Literally, Rachel Maddow seems scared. But like, I wonder if the deep state is thinking, like, maybe we can can work with Trump actually now he's into Israel. He's into the war machine. Maybe we can work with this guy. Are you not getting that vibe? No, not at all. No, no. I think like basically what I said earlier, I think they're just,
Starting point is 01:04:58 you know, they're panicking right now trying to throw Joe Biden out because they're afraid, you know, president Trump is going to win again. They're terrified of that. Terrified. Because it's not, I think this is a little bit different. Maybe they had some control during the first term, but there were so many things that were learned from that first term. I think that it's going to come in and we're going to see a totally different second term from Trump where he's going to, you know, he's kind of at war with these people now, this deep state that did everything they could to destroy him the first go around. I think that this is a war. I think he's going to be vindictive.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Can they keep throwing around? Yeah, I hope to. He keeps saying revenge. He keeps saying vindictive, whatever else. They use that as a reason that we have to keep Trump out. But why wouldn't you? I can't remember who tweeted. They said, I think it was Arne McIntyre.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Lord, give me the Trump the leftists have made up in their delusional minds that's such a good line it scares me if the way he does talk about i mean he doesn't obsessively talk about i'm going to destroy the deep skate and scatter it to the winds i'm quoting kennedy kennedy said he was going to shatter the cia into a million pieces and something like that you see what happened he tried so like if you i hope that that's why i want to get don like maybe lay off the rhetoric, brother. You can still become president and like be a little subversive about it. He did lay off the rhetoric though.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Yeah. When he was asked by Hannity, would you be a dictator? He says only on day one. And that's to drill for oil and like what? Bring jobs. Close the border. Close the border. And then they went, he says he's going to be a dictator.
Starting point is 01:06:20 And then Trump's like, my retribution will be the success of this country and everyone will live well. And they're like, he proved it. Trump is not coming out saying he's going to bang an iron fist on the table and then destroy his enemies. They're making that up. That's why Aron was like, Lord, give me. That's it. Trump, they've made up in their delusional minds. It's the people in the media that are making it up. Trump's going to hire people like Bolton again. And we're going to get, in my opinion, a marginally good second term from Trump that will improve things in areas that we like. And there will be negative effects of his presidency. I'm sure it's absurd to think he's going to walk in with a mat, with
Starting point is 01:06:53 a golden ticket, a golden brush, and everything's perfect. We're going to have some bad foreign policy, but I think we're going to have slightly better foreign policy. We're going to move towards peace, slightly away from war. We're going to see better trade agreements. We're going to see some inflation in some areas. The tariffs to start will probably be not so fun for people, but it will start to heal in a lot of ways. It is going to be a mixed bag, as it always would have been, because reform takes time. But Trump's going to give us incremental gains that we want to see. I get the feeling that the empire, and when I say that, I mean the British Empire.
Starting point is 01:07:22 It's the only empire left. They shattered the Japanese Empire. They shattered the Ottoman Empire. The empire is the British Empire that the United States has been co-opted into since 1941. No, no, no. I got to pause you real quick. The U.S. military base is everywhere. The British Empire is a vassal state. I know.
Starting point is 01:07:36 What do you even call it anymore? It's like a conglomeration at this point of God knows what. But I don't think they expected BRICS to do what it's doing. I don't think they expected it to take off like it's taken off. And I think they're desperate to solve this problem because it looks like they could lose and that the British Empire could be disseminated. But the British Empire was basically absorbed into the U.S. Empire. Yeah, exactly. It's more of a – because the emperor doesn't have any power.
Starting point is 01:07:58 He's run by MI6. Like the CIA runs the United States. Yeah, Emperor Charles. But I truly believe they're concerned about BRICS. I think the British Empire shattered and after World War II, the U.S. took over. The liberal economic order was created with the U.S. as the primary controlling body. NATO is a really great example of what this is. That's Cold War.
Starting point is 01:08:27 And you look at – I was watching Fox News the other morning, and I'm talking to Allison, and they're mentioning all European U.S. military bases on high alert. And I was like, why the do we have military bases all over Europe? Does Spain have military bases all over other people's countries? Does France? Does Germany? Why does the United States have military bases everywhere? Is this normal to the American people to be like, we just put our military bases in other people's countries?
Starting point is 01:08:48 It was when we shattered the Japanese Empire, we put a base in Japan, and we shattered the German Reich. We took Europe in World War II. And Japan. We've occupied Germany since World War II, and we still are occupying Germany to this day. We occupied Japan since World War II, and we are still occupying them. Well, to be fair, Japan in the past several years, I believe under Trump, they finally got the right to rebuild their own
Starting point is 01:09:08 army again. But we're still occupying South Korea. The United States is occupying all of these countries. Well, there's so many countries you haven't even heard of that they have troops in at this point. I believe it was Matt Gaetz that came out not too long ago and was like, why do we still have troops in Nepal? I have no idea. It's a great question. Why do we? Because they can't shrink the military at this point. They lose their grip on it if they're not going to get their $800 billion a year if they're not spending
Starting point is 01:09:33 it on this stuff. And the message is we are the world's police force for this idea of peacekeeper, right? Everywhere needs us all the time, so we have to do this no matter what. And even when we're funding every side of a conflict, it's important that we have troops somewhere else. I mean, one of the things that bothered me today that Corinne Jean-Pierre said was, you know, a reporter was pressing about the debate and some of the stuff that Biden had clearly lied about on stage. And she was going
Starting point is 01:09:56 through it. You know, she at one point was like, Afghanistan, it's a really tough decision and whatever else. But she she was saying basically Biden makes decisions so that there are no American men and women in harm's way. And that's just fundamentally not true. That worked out well for the 13 in Chicago. This is fundamentally not true. And I think that's one of the questions was, why do we have military bases everywhere? Do we really need to be there for the good of America, meaning the American people, or for the good of the government and the industries that props up by having them there? To me, those are actually different things now.
Starting point is 01:10:28 That's a good question, because, I mean, what the Nazis did was was pretty terrifying from my perspective right now is what I'm looking at, what the Japanese empire did. That was pretty terrifying. That blitzkrieg they did through the Pacific, the annihilation of the Pacific American fleet, the conquest of the Philippines, all these crazy things that happen really fast too so like not having any defensive military capacity globally could allow for a nasty uh global product like provocation so it is not the worst thing to have defensive structures all over the place but at the same time what's it costing us that's what uh that's what a lot of liahu says um he says okay if we are not the global police force who steps into that role like have we set precedent now as the United States in this like idea that there's going to be one superpower that patrols the whole planet. And that's his case for like maintaining our current military industrial complex, you know, because it will China step in will Russia you just mentioned bricks and the rise of that. The Chinese are very coordinated. I see a lot of videos out of China. I don't know what's real and what's not
Starting point is 01:11:27 a lot of times, but like the way they move together. I think that's how they like it. I think that's intentional. And they want you to see these guys, like you see them all climbing up the hill, like a big line, the centipede of all these men, just like left, right, left, right. Like they are arming themselves for war right now. They are training their citizenry for war right now. Whether or not they're going to war is to be seen, but they're getting ready for war right now. They are training their citizenry for war right now. Whether or not they're going to war is to be seen, but they're getting ready for war. And I mean, they are on like a civilian level. Like they are just pushing these people
Starting point is 01:11:50 to coordinate. Even the kids, the way they bounce basketballs and then jump to the right and bounce the basketball and jump to the right. Like they're training these kids to become soldiers.
Starting point is 01:11:59 That would be my next guess is that the Chinese would go in and try and become the military police. But they're like bureaucrats. They don't want conflict. They don't want, I think they just want to defend themselves from the empire as far as I can tell. I mean, to me, all of this is fine and good. And we can talk about our presence across the globe. But why is our border open? Why are we so bad at letting Chinese weather balloons, clearly a spy balloon, float across the country? Because it came in at 3 a.m.
Starting point is 01:12:27 It's fine if we think that we have a role. I'm happy to have that conversation. But ultimately, it seems like we put more effort into sort of keeping other countries stable than we do about doing the basics, a.k.a. locking our front door, a.k.a. closing our own border. I mean, this is one of the most egregious parts of the Biden administration,
Starting point is 01:12:42 which is that they just completely lie about this all the time. They you know, Biden came in and and took down all these Trump policies and then quietly rolled them back out when he just could not get illegal immigration under control. And even with the deals they're striking, they're trying to make it like there's a minimum level of illegal immigration. That's fine. It doesn't make any sense. And so, you know, I think all of this has to come back to like, are we doing if the is the government functioning in an optimal way to serve the American people? And whether that's by having military bases that we can deploy our troops to in who knows where, or are we making sure their communities are safe by protecting our borders and being sure of who's in the country? You know, that has to be the priority before we say, well, what are we going to do about the rest of the globe? Like we have to have a loyalty to our own people first. And I think that's what the Biden
Starting point is 01:13:28 administration in particular doesn't want to talk about. They talk about our obligations to everyone else, but not to our own citizens. I'm very concerned with a conflict with Mexico, to be honest. Like I hear people mention it from time to time that we would go to war with Mexico.

Starting point is 01:14:38 but as a proxy, like the Chinese and the Russians would use the Mexican front as a proxy and the cartels may play ball if they get pissed off enough at the American pressure to try and stop the drugs from coming or the human trafficking from coming across. And I mean, what a perfect opportunity to proxy and annihilate our country from the south through Mexico. I would rather go to war with Mexico to make sure our border was secure and to stop human trafficking and to stop the flow of illegal drugs, they can continue to send troops and, you know, not officially send troops overseas and send billions of dollars to other countries where we fight these pretend wars, where we pretend like we're not doing anything and we just lie to the public all the time.
Starting point is 01:15:12 I'd much rather. I mean, there is something honorable in the fact that you would be defending something that impacts literally American communities as opposed to saying, oh, we're not doing anything. We're just pouring all of our money over there and we're funding that side and we're getting these people and we're not sending troops. We're just going to put them on a ship outside of this conflict i mean that is more but that's that's so ridiculous to me in comparison to saying like look we have a border
Starting point is 01:15:30 we have to secure it yeah we should have and maybe at this point military bases on the southern border like we could spin up six new military bases across the southern border i would be open to that like i would be open to more military bases on the mainland in the homeland i i hear you it is expensive, to maintain these. When have they ever cared about that? But I have an idea. I mean, what if instead of building a bunch of military bases, you know, with infrastructure and personnel, we just built a wall? Like a big graphene wall.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Just a big wall? Yeah, we should do that. Graphene wall would be very hilarious. What an idea. Why hasn't anybody thought of this already? I don't know. I don't know, but you could electrify that stuff. Graphene wall would be very hilarious. What an idea. Why hasn't anybody thought of this already? I don't know. I don't know, but you can electrify that stuff. Electrify the wall?
Starting point is 01:16:08 Yeah. Maybe put an alligator moat on the other side of it? Oh, did you see this? It was a while ago where somebody was like, well, if Trump gets elected, this is how the border is going to look like with a moat with alligators in it. And I'm like, you know, everybody's like,
Starting point is 01:16:18 yeah, this sounds great. You know, why would you not? There's a river there. There's already a river there. Let's put the gators in the water. We should wall it off, though. That border needs to be walled off ASAP. I'd like to bring you back to 2015, Ian.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Isn't that crazy? Really, what bothers me, I think that maybe even the, I'm just going to call it the empire, whatever it is, whatever this organism is that's controlling the West. The enclave. Yeah, right. I don't think that they realized how bad this immigration thing could get and that they disliked Trump's America first. You think they knew? Like Trump, his America obsession with like making America the leader still when the empire is like, yo, we want to co-op you and make you part of something. He's like, no, we are America. They hated him so much that they were just willing to undo whatever he did or their cronies like Biden.
Starting point is 01:17:03 They were just going to undo it. But then it got out of hand. And now even Britain's suffering from mass immigration out of control. Illegal immigration in Europe and in the U.S. didn't start in 2015. Trump sort of noticed it. Right. This has been going on for years and years and years since the early 2000s. I mean, even probably before that. But it's been an ongoing problem in the U.S. and with some of the crises in the Middle East and some of the other issues, it's spread into Europe and they have been experiencing it. But it didn't start yesterday. It didn't start four years ago. It started decades ago. And eventually it became so bad that you're seeing political parties be elected in European countries where they're saying,
Starting point is 01:17:39 hey, we don't think this is OK. We think that we should cap migration. We think that we should have a strong national identity that says this is something worth preserving and we can't just move in a new people because that's really the argument with illegal migration in the US, which is that Democrats will say, oh yeah, the birth rate is collapsing and Americans aren't having their own children, but it's okay because we could just bring in a bunch of other people from somewhere else. Like anyone on the globe is interchangeable. Paris is no longer Paris. London is no longer London. Go to these places right now and they have been taken over and there's no going back
Starting point is 01:18:10 at this point. What are you going to do? Have you seen Marine Le Pen speaking firely, fire-ishly about- There's a reason she just had huge victories. She just won in the national parliament. Is that what happened? This is the French. She's up for election in France.
Starting point is 01:18:22 Is that what it is? And there's a couple of different rounds. First round, they, I mean, I don't know if I want to say swept, but they got pretty close to it. Let's pull this up. So this is from the other day. This is NPR.org. Key takeaways from France's election round one where the far right prevails.
Starting point is 01:18:38 Yeah, there was rioting. Like crazy rioting from Islamists and leftists because French people who want their nation, they believe in the French national identity, are starting to take back their country. They're no longer going to let it be given away. The big problem outside of all of this, fertility. Outside of all the politics of it is fertility. French people aren't having enough kids.
Starting point is 01:19:02 People in the United States aren't having enough kids. That's the issue. And regardless of what you do, you want to maintain your country, your national identity, you've got to have babies. Yeah. You have to have someone to pass down your unique cultural traditions to, right? But there would be another way, like, look, there are ways to incentivize
Starting point is 01:19:18 people to have children rather than just, you know, shipping people in. I mean, it's costing a lot more to support these new people that are coming in than to financially support people to have babies. If that's the route you want to go. Can I just, I just want to, I want to read this. The results from the first round Sunday were
Starting point is 01:19:33 national rally earned 33.15. The new popular front alliance of center left socialists, Greens and far left, 28.14. And Emmanuel Macron centrist, 20.76. Voter turnout was high at 59.39. Look, we are seeing hyperpolarization across the board. These are terrifying numbers. The polarization in France is not going to lead to good things.
Starting point is 01:20:00 People who are French and love France and want to see it restored to the beauty of what it was under this ideal French culture, they are up against people who are not citizens and far leftists who want to see the West torn down. What do you think the end result is going to be? They're already rioting. Yeah. Well, we already knew at this point that, and everybody sort of predicted that. I don't know if you saw the videos and such of them boarding up windows in Paris before the results even came out. So we already knew that.
Starting point is 01:20:29 But how far are they going to take something like that? How far are they going to go? And, you know, what do we have to be worried about beyond that? Because, you know, if the people are waking up and they're finally, like, I'm surprised by this result. I haven't been following this very closely. But, you know, I don't think anybody really expected Europe to finally wake up. I'm hoping that we see that in the U.S. as well. But go to places in southern France where the crime rate is through the roof.
Starting point is 01:20:54 All the locals have been driven out. And I don't know how – what do you do besides mass deportations to fix that stuff at this point. I think she's talking about arrests too, like imprisonment for people, stripping people of their actual citizenship if they adopt Islamist, radical Islamist ideals. I'm not exactly, it's kind of vague. It's kind of based. And some vague rhetoric. I'm not sure exactly how or what,
Starting point is 01:21:17 but people are, obviously the majority, or I don't know if the majority is the right word, but the plurality, is that the right word? The 30 some percent, the most of any of them seem to support this rhetoric. And it's been on the rise. I mean, and you're seeing this with a double. Like you mentioned that you can incentivize people to have children. And you see this, especially in Eastern Europe.
Starting point is 01:21:38 There are a couple different countries that will say, you know, I think Hungary is one of them where they're saying you don't have to pay income tax if you have a certain number of children. And, you know, I might get income. But there's a couple of them that are doing this because they say we believe in helping our people have their own family rather than saying, hey, it's OK if our native born population goes away because we'll just bring in whoever, you know, happens to want to come across the border. And I think this is sort of reflective of the conversation that's happening in France like NPR is reporting on this and one of the things they pointed out was you know you'll you'll see a lot of especially young men who are saying I I feel like France doesn't have a place for me anymore and they feel like this is my country and I should be treated differently than I am right now where I'm told that you know I'm lowest priority and so
Starting point is 01:22:21 one of the policies that they're talking about is that, you know, social safety nets, any sort of social programming should be open to French citizens first over immigrants. And I feel like that is so basic. The fact that it's an extreme idea is upsetting. You know, it is one thing if you're a country that says we want to offer aid or we want to be compassionate. You know, you don't want to treat people who are different than you badly. On the other hand, like if you're a taxpayer and you pay into a social program, that's supposed to benefit you. The idea that someone who is not paying into it, it takes priority over you is obviously offensive. And it's the most Christian thing is to take care of yourself before you try to take care of someone else. Take the plank out of your own eye before you try and take the speck of dust out of your neighbor's eye or your brother's eye or whatever. Put your own air mask on before you try and secure the mask of the person next to you. You have to protect the citizens of the country. That is
Starting point is 01:23:08 primary motive number one. You support your citizens and then you'll be able to handle influx. That's the only way. When did this become controversial, though? Why are we even having to argue about whether or not that should be the top priority of the country? I think it was, it is a reaction to Trump. I think that's what it was because he was kind of saying those things. Well, he wasn't articulating it like that. People were like, Trump bad, anything Trump says bad, reverse. And like, what? No, that doesn't mean let everybody in, in any capacity.
Starting point is 01:23:37 But it could have also, it could also happen in cycles. I don't know. I think it's been happening for a long time, right? It just accelerated. I mean, so quickly, though. It's almost like it seems like, you know, overnight almost. I think it was when they said come when Biden and Harris were like, you can come here. They said something publicly like real early on in his administration.
Starting point is 01:23:57 I thought it was Kamala saying don't come. Later she was like, don't come. I'm going to come. No, never mind. After she realized, oh, God, what have we unleashed? So Biden kind of urged people to come to the states. It was early on. I don't remember.
Starting point is 01:24:10 I wish I could find the quote or pull off the quote off the top of my head. And then after that, there was just a surge. And then Kamala came out and was like, don't come. Don't. We made a mistake. She didn't go that far. She just said, don't. Stop.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Please. So what's a little bit worrying, and I won't say too much more about this, but what worries me about these numbers is you still have the majority of people, you know, because only 33% are the ones that are kind of rebuking these policies. Do not come. There we go. Give it to me, Kamala. Do not come. She's serious. I'm going to come.
Starting point is 01:24:40 I'm going to come. That was the meme. So you were saying, so 70, 67% of the people are not. Apparently they still support what's going on over there because they didn't vote against those policies. They are voting in favor of the BS that's going on in Europe and France in particular right now. I think a lot of it comes from ignorance, too, because if you don't know how dangerous it is to allow foreigners in mass into your country in an unmitigated migration then you you might just be like we got to help everybody right and so it's like this form of ignorance and the challenge is it's always low iq people and disinterested people versus passionate people and higher iq people and
Starting point is 01:25:20 this is why i think we need to restrict voting. No question. The voting restriction should be something reasonable and easy, but I believe— No, it's too difficult. Landowners made sense when we had small communities and people were mostly farming. But then we got to the—with industrialization and offices, people now rent apartments. They don't intend to own something. They want to move somewhere later. There's a lot—this is frowned upon by the left almost all the time, but there is a reason to rent. You're younger.
Starting point is 01:25:48 You want to live in the city for a little bit, and then you don't want to spend a lot of money. You don't want to put in a big down payment. You want to work a job, move up, save money, and then get a down payment to buy a house in the suburbs, to have a family. These things can make sense. But I think we need some kind of minor hurdle that keeps out disinterested people. Vivek talks about civics tests, like a high school civics test. I think selective service is the perfect option. In order to vote, you sign up for selective service, and in response, they mail you your voter card.
Starting point is 01:26:15 Your voter card entitles you to vote. Don't have it, you don't vote. Signing up for selective service is completely optional for men and women. If you want to vote, you must sign up, and then you get your voter card. You have skin in the game. And we haven't had a draft in 50-some odd years. I don't expect there to be one. But if you want to say and how we have wars and who gets to get sent, who gets sent to war right now, understand this. Men are forced to sign up for selective service and women overwhelmingly are voting for war. I'm not okay with that.
Starting point is 01:26:40 Right. With all these women are voting Democrat and heavily and they're voting for war to send to put men in harm's way. It's not equality. If the men want to choose to fight and die for their country and the people they believe in, so be it. But hold on. That would mean the men who are forced to fight and die in wars would have a say in whether or not we do. So I think selective service makes a lot of sense. And that would instantly remove all low information and disinterested voters. Democrats would no longer be able to do these big voter drives where they go to rock concerts and say, sign up to vote. They're going to be like, if I fill that out, you're saying I get drafted. Screw that. I'm not doing that. And then it's like, OK. And then guess what? All the low information, low IQ, disinterested voters are gone.
Starting point is 01:27:22 And what happens to your country? It blossoms. No, I think that's a really interesting idea. And that's the first time I'm ever hearing this, actually. So that's awesome. But, you know, you're talking about Vivek. I haven't heard what Vivek was saying, but you're saying it's civics? Yeah, high school civics. So a year and a half ago, Vivek came on the Cultural Podcast, and that was his idea that he said he was thinking about,
Starting point is 01:27:45 but he wasn't sure if that's what he wants to do, and then later said he's moved away from that, and he's considered some kind of civics test. Oh, really? Well, see, the only problem with something like that that I can think of right off the bat is, what's the left going to do? They're going to attack that as racist and say it's just a literacy test all over again. How do you respond to that? Yeah, I think that selective service makes more sense because you don't need to be smart to join the selective service. Right. You just need to be willing to serve the country.
Starting point is 01:28:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so therefore you get a say in where the country goes and what the country does. Yep. Or who's going to decide for you. Who's going to be your commander? You get to decide because you're part of the game. Do you think we have young people who want to serve the country? I mean, some of this comes down to patriotism, right?
Starting point is 01:28:22 Someone who is like, yeah, I want to have skin in the game and I believe in this country and want to participate. They would be like, yeah, no problem. I'll take six tests or I'll sign up for whatever. It's people who don't like America, but also want to say in what's going on, who would have an objection to it, in my opinion. I think there's a lot of people that want to serve the country. A lot of people that are terrified of getting shipped off overseas for some like Vietnam all over again, a draft to go send people to a meat grinder. But even if it's not military service, right? Like volunteering, running for office,
Starting point is 01:28:49 working in public schools so that you can help other American citizens get a good education, things like that. Service doesn't have to be military, hypothetically. Yeah, and it'd be a lot better than just complaining online. Like I know a lot of people that just post online. Well, hey, and that's kind of what I do for a living a while i know but the people that aren't making money doing it that
Starting point is 01:29:08 are just doing it and going to a job they hate and then complaining out of fear like it's one thing like complaining because there's a problem and like suggesting solutions that's a different story but the people that are just like bad bad bad thing bad thing like you can serve in other ways maybe that even feels like they're doing their duty, but it's not. I think that we need more service. But I mean, how would you define it exactly? Oh, I just think service can be, you know, it could be military and that's great, but it also could be civil, right? Like you could, I don't remember which president had one of these programs where you like go build roads.
Starting point is 01:29:41 I mean, there are things you could do. Yeah, FDR. You could do things for in service of your country that don't have to be necessarily deployed, there are things you could do. Yeah, FDR. You could do things in service of your country that don't have to be necessarily deployed, don't have to be deployed. I know typically when we say you serve the country, we mean military. And again, no problem if that's the way you want to do it.
Starting point is 01:29:54 But I think the question comes down to, do we have young people who feel as though they want to make a difference in their nation or community? Yeah. I think so many of them don't, they want to talk about America as though it's something that's happening over there without realizing that they could actively be a part of it.
Starting point is 01:30:09 Yeah, if you're doing it right, I think a lot of people are excited because if we do need a reinvestiture in our infrastructure, we need another industrialization, another, like the New Deal, not this goofy thing called the Green New Deal. I'm talking about a complete revamp of our roads
Starting point is 01:30:24 using graphene, putting them in so they last three times longer. New buildings, new houses, new rails so that the railways don't get warped. Like we could send 30 million people to work on taxpayer dollars. We'd have to print a lot of money. We might end up making money in the process. The problem is if we do that, who's going to fund blowing up children overseas? The British. And the 800 military bases
Starting point is 01:30:46 we were just talking about i mean yeah look you know sure we could fix our roads and fix the plumbing and build uh new housing and schools and libraries but there are russians in ukraine that i just plumb don't like. I mean, Russia and Alaska are like, I don't know, 100 miles away from each other. So like an invasion from the north, we would need strong rails to get from the east coast to the west coast in six hours. We need high-speed rails to get our troops across
Starting point is 01:31:15 the country just for national defense. That's why we build the highways. I could probably do to write to Pete Buttigieg, who's really managing all of this super well. And from the south to the north, too. Like, I'd be open to building a high-speed rail from Los Angeles to Alaska. Why can't we do that? Crash and spill chemicals everywhere. That'd be great, too.
Starting point is 01:31:31 We can. Oh, jeez. The East Palestine thing. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I confronted him there in East Palestine, Ohio. Pete Buttigieg, we were talking about. And, you know, I asked him, like, specifically, you know, why do you keep blaming Trump for all your failures? You've been in office for years now. Why do you keep blaming Trump for all your failures you've been in office for years now
Starting point is 01:31:45 why do you keep blaming Trump for that and because it's he doesn't actually do anything he's not capable of doing anything either you've got but the the Democrats have been trying to build that high-speed rail out in California for the longest time it goes to nowhere who wants to go from Bakersfield to Modesto California you know it costs 10 billion dollars already they haven't done anything so the question is is, because you're talking about we need to improve our infrastructure and build new rail and stuff. Are we even capable of doing that anymore? Where did we go
Starting point is 01:32:11 wrong? Why are we so bad at this now? It's not the money. It's more of an ignorance problem because I think people don't understand the materials that we would use. We'd use new materials like graphene instead of iron. For our railways we'd have like, really lightweight, strong rails that would last us 60 years and wouldn't warp. But once people figure out how then they get excited, and they realize they can, it's just a matter of, I guess,
Starting point is 01:32:36 education about how to do it, and then incentivizing people to actually do it by using taxpayer dollars, or by subsidizing the private sector and getting industry to go ahead and start building. I'd love to see that high speed rail out of California finish. I don't know much about it, to be honest. Do you? Well, I think it's a total crap show, and it always has been. It's how many tens of billions of dollars over budget at this point? They haven't done anything. I think that what they've completed so far was an overpass. That's what I read anyway. That's the only part of the new span that's been built in the past 10 years or so.
Starting point is 01:33:11 Just something crazy. It's almost a joke at this point. We've got Gavin Newsom even backing off of it. He's preparing to run for president. He can't be associated with failed exactly. We could model off of these foreign countries that are building them. I think Japan has one now, maybe. And also China's look at China's high speed rail network. It's incredible. They're ready for war. They're
Starting point is 01:33:33 preparing for war. They're preparing to ship their troops across the country in a matter of hours. I don't think they're shipping them. I think they're just coming across the southern border. That's true. Yeah. I'm not like I wish I was being totally hyperbolic. But again, you see that like this stereotype of it's like, oh, people from Mexico are crossing the southern border. Yes, that does happen, but the majority of people are not. They're from other South American countries or even China. What does that tell you? That they're like, hey, I think I know how to get in there.
Starting point is 01:33:55 Why is nobody answering the question as to how they're getting there? How are these massive groups of military-age Chinese men getting into Southern California? Because that's where they're all going now. Big groups of them. They're starting south. You're telling me the Chinese don't know this? The Chinese government tracks every single movement in that country.
Starting point is 01:34:13 They know how these people are getting there. Do you think they're coming through the Darien Gap in Panama? No, no, no. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying they're leaving China and the Chinese government knows that they're coming over here.
Starting point is 01:34:26 It's like, but how much of a hand do they have in it? It seems like they would have to have some sort of a hand to get thousands and thousands of Chinese people into the United States. If they didn't, they'd be contacting our government and be like, give us our people back. There's people over there. We want them. Don't let them be there. That's obvious.

Starting point is 01:35:37 To continue on with what you're saying about the Californian high-speed rail, is that a state project? Is that all state funded? That's a problem because states run out of money really quick. But if we use the Federal Reserve to print $3 trillion, pay it forward, maybe in eight years, that $3 trillion is going to be worth $35 trillion in value
Starting point is 01:35:54 because of the amount of cost reduction in things. That might be a viable investment that we could actually get done. The white pill here is Elon's trying to just put trains on roads via the actual semi, the Tesla semi. And because they're autonomous, you'd have one driver for like 10 Tesla semis,
Starting point is 01:36:12 virtually a train on our existing roadways. So he's, I mean, he's rejecting wheels. We're far away from that solution, but it is coming. As much as I love my Tesla, ah, dude, this thing has nearly killed me several times. What kind of things has it done? Well, you cannot rely on self-driving right now. And with all due respect, I'm a big fan of Elon Musk.
Starting point is 01:36:35 I'm a big fan of self-driving. I use it most of the time, but you better keep your hands on the wheel. I was driving in Hagerstown. I was going to the skate park, and there's a car in front of me. Did not stop abruptly. Started slowing down and went to make a right turn into a parking lot.
Starting point is 01:36:53 And the Tesla did not stop. And it is only because I jammed the wheel as hard as I could to the left that I was inches away from hitting this car. And then it was like autopilot. It's a gauge. What happened? And I was like, you hitting this car and then it like And it was like autopilot's engaged what happened and I was like you you're gonna hit that car There was a report like two weeks ago from California this this Tesla in autopilot crashed into a cop car Yeah, I mean like it's it's I'm happy if you guys want to like I think Technology sometimes you have to have people try it and that's sort of the function that Tesla owners are in right now They're trying out the self-driving mode, But it's not a reliable source right now.
Starting point is 01:37:26 The other part is like. It's coming. And I'm assuming this is a newer. It's not that it isn't coming. But it also is another infrastructure issue. Like we talk about it right now with EVs. I think it's Wyoming banned the sale of EVs because they're like, look, the issue is that we don't have charging ports in enough places and it's causing all kinds of issues and we
Starting point is 01:37:42 don't have the money to fund that. So it's causing all kinds of issues and we don't have the money to fund that so it's not helping us the other part is on top of that that if a tesla tesla gets into an accident and its battery catches on fire you can't just spray water on it which conducts electricity to put the fire out so then you have to equip every single fire truck and first responder with i think it's like a powder that you throw on well the the battery the issue isn't the electricity it's it's the alkali metal it's not either one of these things are bad. When you spray lithium with water, you're just, you're oxidizing the lithium, which creates an, I believe, an exothermic reaction. So you're actually just going, like, you can't mix water and lithium. I mean, so either way the point stands, like,
Starting point is 01:38:17 you can't just send a regular fire truck to go spray water on this thing. You have to equip it with another way of putting out these fires. So again, like it's not that I am anti, I am anti-technology in so many senses, but in this case, you know, I love the creativity. It would be cool. On the other hand, these are not solutions that we'll get. We need better batteries and roads that charge the cars from underneath. In Britain, they're experimenting with these. They've got stretches of roads where you'll, it'll charge your electric car as you drive over it. I think. Well, Brent's a smaller land mass, so it'll always be easier for me to make these mass changes than it will in America. Where did the...
Starting point is 01:38:47 Oh, go ahead. No, no, we're going to go to Super Chat, so get your last point. Okay, but where did all this, you know, this bipartisan infrastructure bill or whatever, the $1.3 trillion, where did all that money go? Because, you know, you're talking about a lot of it was supposed to be for charging stations and such.
Starting point is 01:39:00 Where have they built these charging stations? I hope that they are doing underground building, because I haven't seen it. They've only popped up a small number. The secret underground city for our little Americans. I hope they're getting the wiring done ahead of time and then they're going to pop all the charging stations up at once, I hope, because
Starting point is 01:39:16 it doesn't look like a lot's come out of this yet. Pete Buttigieg was taking some heat for that the other day. I think Elon Musk even tweeted about it being like, OK, $10 billion has been spent and there is one new charging station. Let me read that again. One new charging station. I'd like to even tweeted about it, being like, OK, $10 billion has been spent, and there is one new charging station. Let me read that again. One new charging station. I'd like to see how much of that is administrative costs. We're going to go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly

So this will be, we're only going to have two this week, but we'll read your super chats right now. You're with the first super chat says Civil War 2025. We hope not.
Starting point is 01:40:00 We hope not. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, you big city folks come to the woods to tell us how to pronounce names we grew up with. Harumph, I say. Weiss Markets is pronounced wise, good sir. Well, Raymond, I'm buying it and I'm going to call it whatever I want from now on. From now on, it's called Weiss.
Starting point is 01:40:16 Weiss Supermarket. No, I think it's like it's German, right? That's why I'll be Weiss if it would be Weiss. Isn't it? Somebody called us. They must have a pronunciation tab on their about section on It would be Weiss. It would be Weiss. Isn't it? Somebody call the CEO. They must have a pronunciation tab on their About section on their website. Weiss?
Starting point is 01:40:30 Weiss. Is it Weiss? There's a Weiss potato chips in PA, too. W-E-I-S, though. Right, so I've always heard Weiss, and I'm from the area, so. Right, everyone says Weiss. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:42 But I'm like, if it's German, it would be Weiss. Yeah. Weiss sounds cooler I'm like, if it's German, it would be Weiss. Weiss sounds cooler anyway. Let's go. Salty Bag of Nuts says, I'll be attending the new kids on the Block concert during your show. My wife and kids' happiness matters more, I guess. Please invite said band onto the culture show so I can finally get my wife to watch. What a good dad. Yeah, that'd be fun.
Starting point is 01:41:00 I'd be totally down for that. I like when we get messages like that where it's like dads and you're like, my wife's in labor. It's her birthday. I'm going to this thing with my kids. Like, this is what we need. Active family men in America. The new kids on the block were huge when I was in third grade. All the girls loved them so much. We were all so jealous. You're just aging
Starting point is 01:41:17 yourself over there. What was their biggest song? Right Stuff. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, wow. I remember that one. Alright, Aquafan says, I find it odd to say 4 Oh, oh. I don't remember that. Oh, oh. Oh, wow. I remember that one. Oh, oh. All right. Aquafan says, I find it odd to say 4th of July.
Starting point is 01:41:28 I don't celebrate 25th of December. I celebrate Christmas. Likewise, I don't say celebrate 4th of July. I say celebrate Independence Day. Did you know that
Starting point is 01:41:37 the signing was July 2nd? Hmm. Yeah. Does he celebrate Mega Month? I mean, I'd say that's... Are you celebrating
Starting point is 01:41:44 Mega Month over there? Come on. Mega Month. Every corporation's got to change their Hmm. Yeah. Does he celebrate MAGA month? I mean, I'd say that. Are you celebrating MAGA month over there? MAGA month. Every corporation's got to change their profile photos to red, white, and blue. That's what we do. MAGA month. America month. What's up with that red, white, and blue? Where does it come from?
Starting point is 01:41:58 It's symbolic, right? I assume it has something to do with the ease of dyes back in the day. Access. Because basically every country is red white and blue a lot of them it's a you ever see those you know this is really funny um i always love pointing out the dutch flags that are everywhere and they say open on them have you noticed that businesses will fly a dutch flag with open on it there was a uh and i'm like is that related to like mercantilism from like back in the days of the dutch flag would fly and people
Starting point is 01:42:23 knew there's a trading post or something there was was a Dutch market where I grew up, like a really small store run by the daughter of Dutch immigrants. And they always had it. And she was like, see, it makes sense here. I think it might. Maybe I'm just making something up. But Dutch mercantilism in the colonies. And so they would fly the Dutch flag and people would know it's a trading post.
Starting point is 01:42:41 And now all the businesses fly a Dutch flag that says open on the flag. So people know there's business there. I don't know. I mean, it could be, this is saying that the red, white and blue are, are,
Starting point is 01:42:50 are symbolic of different virtues that they wanted. Didn't say anything about die, but I could be wrong, but every country is red, white, blue, France, Dutch,
Starting point is 01:42:57 America. They're good values. People want to have these things in common, red, white and blue. Let's go. Oh yeah. Doken black Guy says,
Starting point is 01:43:06 how do people with Biden's campaign basically in the gutter, does Trump still need to be strategic with his VP pick, or does he have leeway now to pick Vivek or Tulsi? He's got leeway, but I think he still should be strategic.
Starting point is 01:43:17 Trump, what did you discover? The two flags, the open flag and the Dutch flag, they look similar, but they're different flags, actually. So they're flying the open flag. It's not the Dutch flag, even though I guess maybe it looks nearly identical. They're identical.
Starting point is 01:43:28 It's red, white, and blue. Red from the top, blue on the bottom. It says it's the same colors as the Dutch flag. Red, white, and blue, often used by small businesses, shops, restaurants to indicate that they're open. Why? The connection originated from the Dutch flag during the Dutch Golden Age. So it sounds like you're right. Dutch ships would fly the flag, but due to the high cost of orange dye, they'd substitute
Starting point is 01:43:46 with red. And then these red flags would then be left in markets and ports where shop owners and traders would take them. And so the word open onto them. My presumption was mostly correct. Leftover flags from the Dutch. The Dutch would fly flags to the trading post. People assumed that meant merchants and trade.
Starting point is 01:44:01 And so it has become a tradition in America to fly a Dutch flag with the word open on it. Now it is the open flag. Because America to fly a Dutch flag with the word open on it. Now it is the open flag. Because there's like a gas station with 50 of them. And I was like, it's just weird that you're flying all these Dutch flags. But I get it. It makes sense. You're really pro-Dutch people.
Starting point is 01:44:14 You're not going to learn that on any other podcast. It's still unclear. No one knows for sure where, but that's kind of the idea is where. That's got to be it. Conclusion. Thanks, AI. Yeah. Max Reddick says, love to see you call out destiny on x i feel
Starting point is 01:44:27 like i'm slowly losing more respect for him looking forward to the next time he's on irl or the culture war well this was because we're at this point where i know destiny's not stupid i know the krasensteins aren't stupid so when they make these posts where they're like well yeah but you know joe biden did this i'm dude, no one believes you guys actually think this. Like you wouldn't shower with your daughter, too. But there are stupid liberals that we know are cognitively lacking and they can't comprehend basic, you know, political function. Destiny's a smart guy. I know he reads the news. There is no way that he and David Pakman and the Krasensteins are not aware that what they're saying is false.
Starting point is 01:45:06 An example I like to give a reference to David Pakman is when I believe it was it was it Ted Cruz was on Meet the Press and they asked him, do you really believe that Ukraine interfered in the election to help Hillary Clinton? And Ted Cruz was like, it was in The New York Times. And then you hear a producer start laughing. And David Pakman in his video is like, I can't believe this guy. They're laughing at him. And I'm like, I know David reads the news. I know he read the New York Times and Politico. I know he knows that story is true. I'm going to pull it up. I'm going to pull up so you can see Ukraine interfere Trump Politico back in 2017. Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire. There you go.
Starting point is 01:45:47 Let's pull this one up. This is it. January 11, 2017, Ukrainian effort to sabotage Trump backfire. This is what led to Manafort's criminal conviction. The Ukrainians were trying to help Hillary Clinton win the 2016 election. Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They all disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in a corruption, incorruption and suggested they were investigating the matter only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found. And David Pakman is like, oh, he's so stupid. They're laughing at him. And I'm like, David, I know you read this. I know you know the news.
Starting point is 01:46:24 I know you're lying. Unless you really are know, the news. I know you're lying. Unless you really are stupid, I guess. I don't know. Can't use Google. With Steve and destiny. I, I know he's smart and I,
Starting point is 01:46:32 I, there's no way he's not reading. I know he's very subvert. He may not be reading. Cause he does talk a lot and listen a lot. So he might not read as much news. I don't know, but he's so smart.
Starting point is 01:46:41 I wonder if he's playing controlled opposition on purpose. Sometimes make money. Yeah. And to's playing controlled opposition on purpose sometimes. Make money? Yeah, and to generate controversy and to get the conversation flowing. Oh, the Krasenstein's for sure. They're playing the heel. Like, that's it. There's no way you follow Elon Musk, you understand the arguments he's made and the reasons for his actions, and then come out on the other side of it.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Like, when things attack Elon, they come to his defense. The argument being like, well, he supported their free speech. And I'm like, yeah, dude, you cannot live in the same perspective as Elon Musk and then disagree with these things that are coming in the press because we're not arguing politics. No one here is arguing, I don't know, tax policy. We're arguing, is Biden cognitively fit? And we've known since 2020 and before that the answer is no. And the media has lied about it. We now know because they're starting to admit it. Glenn Greenwald roasting them. They've known the whole time, but they don't they don't want to admit it because they'll lose access. So when we were pointing out all of these videos of Biden
Starting point is 01:47:39 stumbling and bumbling and saying nonsense words, the media called them cheap fakes because they were worried they would lose access to the White House. That is destiny. That is David Pakman. That is the Krasensteins. They lie to you because they're scared of losing access. How fun. Yeah, I think you have, you know, people say all the time, it's like, oh, well, somebody, somebody like, you know, I know I brought up Harry Sisson a couple of times tonight, but he's been in the news a lot. Harry is not, I look, I've, I've known Harry for over a year now. He is not a stupid person tonight but he's been in the news a lot harry is not i i look i've i've known harry for over a year now he is not a stupid person but he is saying what is going to what his number one what his base wants to hear and number two what the the regime wants to hear and it's it's paying off for him well i mean look he's getting bigger and bigger and bigger he thrives
Starting point is 01:48:19 off the controversy it you know because every time somebody like us attacks him, every time I bring up his name, you know, on a show like this, you know, more and more his name ID goes up, his TikTok grows, you know, Fox News was pushing his tweets out. All press is good press. All press is good press for some of these people and it's working for them. All right, let's read some more. Cameron Keir says, how long until the New York Times starts running stories about the 10% for the big guy? Yep.
Starting point is 01:48:46 They're going to start coming out and saying all of these things are true because the move now is to get Joe Biden to resign or drop out or whatever. Open convention, maybe. Yeah, I could see that as a threat behind the scenes that they're like, look, Joe, we're going public with everything unless you step. So they're using it as like a bargaining chip at this point where you step aside or. Gabriel Lopez says life extension is not happening. We have prevented people from dying earlier, but not extended life in any way. Genesis 6.3, God, right before the flood, God put a cap of 120 years on us. Well, my understanding, and this is cursory scientific review, is that the average human being has a potential lifespan of 190 years before absolute collapse.
Starting point is 01:49:28 However, this would require perfect cellular regeneration in line with standard aging. So the issue typically is that by the time we reach around 79, 80 years old, the defects have piled up to the point where an organ fails and then you get a cascade failure. But generally, based on telomeres breaking down and the aging process, the estimate is that even with perfect medical intervention, humans can't live past around 190. Because then your cells just collapse. You turn into jelly. You're done.
Starting point is 01:50:02 How old do you want to live to, though? I mean, it seems like after a certain point, I mean, do you want to live to though i mean it seems like after a certain point i mean do you want to live much longer than joe biden i want to live the question is how how long do you want to be old and so there's there's these great philosophical discussions that i recommend people google search and read about and the question that people often bring up is oh you get old you don't want to live anymore people say i, I'm too old. No, the question is, how old do you want to be and for how long? So I think research surveys typically find that people, if a person was 24 forever, they'd never want to die. Sure. Why would you? And the challenge for the most part for older people, the reason why older people get to the point where they say they want to die is not because they're in physical pain.
Starting point is 01:50:46 I mean, some people are. It's because their friends are all dead. Friends are dead. Yep. And it's a culture clash. So, you know, people really don't understand the, I don't think people think deeply about culture shock and how important it is to understand. If you today teleported 50 years into the past, it would be very, very hard for you to navigate that world.
Starting point is 01:51:07 How do you set a meeting? How do you find the news? What do you do? Now, we understand TV and news and radio and all that stuff, but you're going to be like, I am not used to having to ask someone to meet me at a location,
Starting point is 01:51:19 using a map, having to memorize 30 phone numbers. Nobody does that anymore. I used to. That's why I read through my book of phone numbers and memorize everybody's name and number. But it's worse than that, too, because that's that's technological shock. The culture shock would be that if you today went back 100 years, you would not like it. Not a single conservative Christian Trump supporting American would want to live 100 years ago under blasphemy laws. You wouldn't want to live under those laws, even Christian ones. There's a lot of Christians who are probably saying right now, that's great.
Starting point is 01:51:52 Yeah, I think they'd not enjoy it. And I think that's why modern conservatives are fans of free speech. But going back in the day, swearing in public and getting arrested now, people would be like, this is a little too much for me. I kind of think that we've done pretty well, but we're upset about degeneracy. That I can respect. Mick Jagger has a lot of young friends. I was just watching him. He said a lot of his people his age have died in scenes like that.
Starting point is 01:52:11 I guess that's why I got a lot of young friends. And he's super youthful for being, what, 85 or whatever the hell he's dancing on stage. I don't know yet. 80-something, I think. It's pretty impressive. All right. Very angry citizen says, Tim, your 6 p.m. video hit home hard. In 2019-2020, I was able to afford a car payment and small extras. All right. Very angry citizen says, Tim, your 6 p.m. video hit home hard in 2019, 2020.
Starting point is 01:52:25 I was able to afford a car payment and small extras. I'm making 4K more, but on a dime and a nickel budget with zero subscriptions and no extras, barely living. That was the the I showed the chart where actual household wealth has declined based on inflation. So it looks like people are making more money. They're getting raises, but they're actually going down. And they know it. And the media has been lying about it. Walgreens just announced they're shutting down 2,150 locations. This is insane.
Starting point is 01:52:58 2,000. So there's a lot of older people are going to be like, where do I go to get my medicine? This happened in San Francisco. There was a story where they shut down like three or four, like Dwayne Reeds or something or targets. And these are pharmacies. And there are elderly people who now they can't walk two or three blocks. It's difficult for them. And now their local pharmacy is gone and they don't know where to go. But how long can the media get away with lying about it and actually making a difference? Because at some point you're going to start living it. You're going to start knowing it day to day to day you go to the grocery store
Starting point is 01:53:28 you know if you go and shop for your own groceries you know darn well that inflation has been through the roof these past few years your grocery bill is you know at least what 25 30 percent higher than it was four years ago zillow i mean you just know. $100,000 to comfortably afford a home. It was $60,000 four years ago. The narrative is that they'll say, I've raised more money
Starting point is 01:53:51 than you did when you were president. But you need to use percentages. So maybe you raised a million dollars, but if there's $10 trillion in circulation, that million is what?
Starting point is 01:54:01 1.1%. If there's $2 million in circulation and you raise a million, you've raised 50 percent of the value of. So, like, it's it's the percentage of value of the money, not the actual dollar amount. And people tell you that they raised more dollars, but that doesn't mean that the dollars were more valuable. And that's when people start to realize that value is actually a percentage and not an actual number or then a nominal thing that then we'll start to understand that they're lying to being lied to. Maybe that was a little confusing. I'll explain that later
Starting point is 01:54:31 again, over and over again. Harry Lawrence says problem with that theory of Biden steps down, Harris becomes president and speaker of the House becomes VP and president of the Senate, where Dem will no longer have a majority. I know I don't think that's how it works. That's the line of succession for the president. But I don't think the speaker becomes the VP. Someone want to fact check that? Well, I know we were talking about this a little bit earlier where I don't I don't think it's linear. I think it were to happen where the line of succession comes in when, let's say, you know,
Starting point is 01:54:56 the third in line would end up being president of the United States if if the president and the vice president both died at the same time or something like that. I think I think that's the way that it works. And in that case, I don't even think the vice president, I think, becomes acting president for. Right. Acting president. Yeah. So it's not linear. I don't believe. The Speaker of the House doesn't automatically become the vice president. They choose someone, don't they?
Starting point is 01:55:22 Yeah. I mean, who was it who didn't have a vice president? Was it? I don't know. What happened with Gerald Ford? I can't remember. I'll do some Googling quietly over here. Well, let's read some more Super Chats while we're at it. Kai says, polls are false flag.
Starting point is 01:55:37 Still campaign like you were 10 points behind. Agreed? Yeah, that's a great point because everybody right now, all this red wave talk that you keep hearing on X, that's exactly what, I mean, you don't want people to feel, actually, Charlie Kirk, I think, tweeted it out today. He said, ignore all the polls, ignore the polls, don't pay attention to them, because people are going to get complacent, and they're going to think, oh, well, you know, what's the point? I'm not going to waste time going to vote. There's no point. Trump's going to sweep. People are saying all 50 states, he's going to win all 50 states. That's not the attitude that we need to be having right now well and even
Starting point is 01:56:06 if he is you know it matters down ticket great if you feel like the presidency is locked in start paying a ton of attention to your congressional races and your senate races especially if you live in a state like Montana where it's right on the edge of potentially flipping pay attention to your state and local races if you feel like everything's locked up you know you're going to go vote now's the time to research the other candidates that could really impact your life in the legislature that you have to abide by. The margins are so thin. How do they swap Biden out without affecting the ballots? I mean, isn't Biden already on the ballot in a bunch of these states?
Starting point is 01:56:36 A bunch of states, yeah. So if they were to switch him out, then the Democrats can't win. But there's no way they'll actually allow that to happen, though, because it's the same thing in Ohio. Like, technically, for the longest time, Biden wasn't actually going to be able to appear on the ballot in Ohio because they weren't going to meet the deadline for him to be on the ballot. And of course, they pull some strings and change it. They will get that change. I don't think they're going to let that be a hurdle. So Carlos Mucha says, fun fact, Joe Biden's birth in 1942 was closer in time to Sherman's burning of Atlanta in 1864 than to the presidential debate in Atlanta this year. Whoa. That's kind of wild. You think about it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:17 And that was what was the other point someone made that he was Abe Lincoln. Yeah. Abe Lincoln's assassination is is Joe Biden's older. We are further away than when he was born from Yeah, Abe Lincoln's assassination. Joe Biden's older. We are further away than when he was born from Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Well, but also now Sherman's marched to the sea. That's crazy. That's crazy. He's an old, old man.
Starting point is 01:57:36 Closer to 50 than I am to 50. All right. Little Baloo says, Ian looks so sexy tonight. Thanks, homie. And heart-eyed emoji. It's because I'm not wearing headphones or my glasses. Well, all right. Also because I did a cleanse.
Starting point is 01:57:48 I'm a different man. All right. Noah Bodie says, Sticks was saying a Swapton candidate would be ineligible in several states. No one can think about this. I'm pretty sure. I mean, they did have that write-in Biden campaign in New Hampshire this year when the DNC was like, forget you, New Hampshire.
Starting point is 01:58:04 South Carolina is going to go first for the primary. So maybe, you know, they're going to rely on voters to be organized enough to write in Biden and states or whoever they would pick in states where Biden's not on the ticket. But this is what I go back to. I think it's going to default to Joe Biden stays on the ticket and they just have to see this mess through. I don't think the media would be working so hard to tear down Joe Biden right now if there wasn't any way to have a backup. I mean, they're not they're not doing this, you know, that makes them think that they're logical and that they have they have thought about this carefully and made a plan for it. I mean, most of them were saying Biden was totally fine until they because they were told to.
Starting point is 01:58:38 I mean, sure. And they also believed it. They didn't believe the clips that were out there didn't consider a possibility. Then it became undeniable, and now they're scrambling. I think this is out of panic, and I think the reality is that it's more likely that he's on the ballot than not. No Name says, why am I the only person who thinks Newsom looks like Count Chocula? You are not. I agree. That's that slick back hair. Does he have pointy ears?
Starting point is 01:58:58 I've got to get a good look at him. He does kind of. He reminds me of Count Chocula. His chin. His pointy chin. Count Chocula's based. You know? Delicious chocolate cereal. I've got no problemy chin. Count Chocula's based. You know? Delicious chocolate cereal.
Starting point is 01:59:07 I got no problem with that. Is that a bad thing? I was big into blueberry. It's a little sugary. I don't know if I'd want to give it to my kids. Maybe just on his bowl of oatmeal with some cream or something. Would you guys vote for Frankenberry or Boo-berry? Boo-berry.
Starting point is 01:59:17 Boo-berry was the jam, yeah. Boo-berry. I just see their immigration platform, you know? Okay. I'm trying to not be fun. I suppose the question then is Boo-berry's dead, right? Unfortunately. Yeah'm trying to not be fun. But I suppose, you know, the question then is, Boo-Berry's dead, right? Unfortunately. Yeah, and Franken-Berry was reanimated.
Starting point is 01:59:30 I wonder if they slaughtered him. Boo-Berry and Franken-Berry got together, or Choc-Yell-Lun and Franken-Berry got together. Like, if this Boo-Berry guy's too good, take him out. No, maybe not. I think I'd have to vote for Franken-Berry because he's alive. But Boo-Berry would never die. So good. You don't have to vote for Frankenberry because he's alive. But a blueberry would never die. So good. You don't have to worry about any sort of security.
Starting point is 01:59:48 You could cut Secret Service for many years, save that money for a little while. You know, I'd vote for whichever one would appoint Captain Crunch as their... Commander-in-Chief? No, no, Chief of Defense. Defense? Department of Defense. Defense Secretary. Well, because this is a guy who's going to, when we send him overseas to our enemies,
Starting point is 02:00:08 he's going to slice up the roofs of their mouths and cause some real damage. I think that's worth pointing out. All right, let's go. Does Trix the rabbit get a cabinet position? Undoubtedly. DEI all the way. Aunt Jemima for VP.
Starting point is 02:00:25 That's not a cereal. I know, but she's been canceled everywhere else. Bring her back. Why is the Trix rabbit DEI? Because of all the rainbow colors. I'm a visual learner. That's Lucky Charms, dude. Lucky Charms would replace Janet Yellen.
Starting point is 02:00:37 Isn't Trix a little rainbow-y too? Lucky Charms has the rainbow in it. Yeah, Lucky Charms is best. But he's always obsessed with the pot of gold, so maybe he would be a Treasury Secretary. You know, I imagine the Biden
Starting point is 02:00:50 and the Lucky Charms guy would not get along because the Lucky Charms guy is always running away from children. And he's legitimately Irish, and I feel like Biden's constantly insulting the Irish.
Starting point is 02:01:01 Well, he says he's Irish, doesn't he? But it's never a flattering thing when he says it. All right. He did, yeah, he said, what did he he? But it's never a flattering thing when he says it. All right. He did. Yeah, he said, what did he say? My family's not in prison or something?
Starting point is 02:01:09 Something like that. Yeah, and Seamus got really offended. He was banging on the table, screaming. He was crying. Snot was pouring out of his nose. But he's just like that all the time. And he was like, I'm being oppressed. He's like that all the time.
Starting point is 02:01:20 Let's read some more Super Chats. To be fair, he's a white male Catholic. He probably is oppressed. Brown Bear says, I think the Democrats will drop Kamala Harris without a second thought. They only care about DEI as long as they path to power. And if Kamala's in the way to that power, she's gone. Did you see that Wall Street? I don't know if you guys got this news letter on your phone, but it was the Wall Street Journal was like, I can't remember what it was.
Starting point is 02:01:40 But basically, like diversity isn't making us money. Hold on, I'll find it. Yeah, you got to find that article. But, you know, talking about Kamala and stuff, I saw this poll on earlier. And, you know, usually the Twitter poll, there's not much to it. I can hit whatever option and it's not going to change my life. But I see somebody saying, would you rather have Joe Biden or Kamala Harris? I still, you know, for a year now, I have not been able to answer that question.
Starting point is 02:02:02 I got to read this. Michael Malice tweeted this. He said, hey, Chris Cuomo, when you were at CNN, did you ever catch Caitlin Collins without his wig on? You see, Scott Pressler tweeted out a photo of Caitlin Collins. This is not me. Okay, the Wall Street Journal. This is a newsletter. Diversity was supposed to make all of us a lot of money. It hasn't. Okay, the Wall Street Journal, this is a newsletter I got. Diversity was supposed to make all of us a lot of money.
Starting point is 02:02:27 It hasn't. Oh, gee. Hot take. No way. Michael Malice. I don't think you could have him on a YouTube show. Sunday, June 30th. Michael Malice?
Starting point is 02:02:36 We haven't been on all the time. I've been on his YouTube show. Nate Woodworth says, did you see Nigel Houston's board at the X Games a few days ago? Was the Statue of Liberty with an American flag behind it? When he won gold, he purposely showed his deck to the camera. Houston's board at the X Games a few days ago was the Statue of Liberty with an American flag behind it. When he won gold, he purposely showed his deck to the camera. Dude, I'm going to tell you, man, I know tons of pro skateboarders. Nigel Houston is the top of the top in pro skateboarding.
Starting point is 02:03:01 He's probably one of the very few pro skateboarders who's actually worth a lot of money, probably worth millions. The average professional skateboarder is probably making $40,000 a year. The industry is collapsing. Braille Skateboards just announced that they've shut down their warehouse. They have 6 million YouTube subs. They shut it down. They tore it all out. Skateboarding is collapsing. The industry is in serious trouble. And the worst part is the Olympics are coming up. So if the core skateboard community is not involved and people aren't investing, then it's going to get snatched up by woke corporations and turned into some creepy nonsense that's going to target your kids. What is your take on why it's been falling apart? Why it's been shuddering? I think the, well, there's a lot of reasons. One big one is that skateboarders, I feel like the people who are good people who skateboard are interested in having a family and being responsible.
Starting point is 02:03:53 And once they do, they shift their focus into, and they're more likely to be woke. Woke people make young people not want to skateboard. Fact. So that's what we're trying to do with Boonies and with like the Skate Park Project in Martinsburg and all that stuff is be family friendly and inviting to parents to bring their kids. But when you've got, you know, degenerate filth, drug addiction, heroin needles and angry and aggressive 40 year olds telling people to F off and stay away from their space. Parents ain't going to bring their kids around. If kids do not engage in in, I'll start here. If kids don't skateboard, skateboarding dies in 10 years. Right now, the majority of skateboarders
Starting point is 02:04:52 in general are over the age of 30. So if you're out there and you like skateboarding and you're a pro skateboarder, you, you gotta be doing everything you can to target young teenagers and convince them to start skating and tell parents to get their kids skateboards so that those kids get involved, grow up skating, invest in the culture, and help build and create it. Because children are the future, no question. And I feel like most people don't get this. Especially when you have an industry, and millennials in general, dominated by people
Starting point is 02:05:19 who don't have families, don't have kids, and don't care. What you end up with is a really good example is what's going on in Martinsburg with our attempts to build a skate park. The older guys who have been there for 10 years are telling people to F off and get out. What's a parent going to do when they pull up and they say, I got my kid a skateboard. I want to teach him how to skateboard. And you got a bunch of angry, old, politically charged people who are saying it's our spot. We're the sure I get the F out. They're going to say, OK, this is not the sport we want to have our kids involved in. So I go to the city. I go to the community and say, we should have a community park,
Starting point is 02:05:52 beautification. We should have trees and flowers and planters. You can bring your kids. Everyone's going to be really nice. That's a good thing. But the woke element in Martinsburg is desperately trying to stop it from happening. It's interesting. And also, so one last point real quick, because we do got to go to the members only show. I was talking to Brett Dasavik and a few other rollerbladers, like how did rollerblading die? They had rollerblading was the biggest sport, 33 million participants in the nineties. And what a lot of these guys told me is that the older crowd of pro rollerbladers at their peak were gatekeepers. They, they didn't want the kooks. They didn't want the kids. The kids were dorks. The kids were in the way. The skateboard industry said, yeah, those
Starting point is 02:06:31 people are lame. You don't want to be like them. Come skate with us. So the kids said yes. Skateboarding became cool. Rollerblading became uncool. Everyone quit rollerblading. When I was a little kid, I rollerbladed since I was a little kid. I played street hockey. Yeah, me too. And then when I was 13, my mom actually got me Backyard Bob rollerblades because everybody was rollerblading. And then rollerblading became uncool. Nobody wanted to do it. And so everyone got skateboards. That was it.
Starting point is 02:06:56 Skateboarding is doing the same thing now with scooting. Scooting is popular among younger people. It's becoming more and more prominent. The scooter kids are laughing and having fun and doing their thing, and they're expanding and rising. And skateboarders are jaded, angry old men who think they're too cool for everybody else. I was thinking that also, like you see also that the people that aren't happy are the loudest, also in football, baseball, and in basketball, and even in soccer, football. But there's so much money being pumped through those organizations that there's still an incentive for people to go try.
Starting point is 02:07:31 Anyway, yeah, that's about it. We've got to go to the Members Only Show, so smash that Like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

Starting point is 02:08:16 We want to make content that is family-friendly, is welcoming to skateboarders of all levels, that parents will feel good that their kids are watching. They're going to say, oh, that's funny and silly, a little rough around the edges, but nothing too bad. And then the older crowd is going to be like, that's pro skateboarding at its best. We don't want to do what these other gatekeepers are doing and be super, look, with all due respect to a lot of the pros that are nice, that we're friends with, they produce content
Starting point is 02:08:40 where it's like, I'm going to upload a video to YouTube of my Nollie 360 flip, you know, Nollie 360 flip frontside nose grind 180 out. Who's going to want to watch that? I mean, no disrespect. Pro skateboarders are going to be like, oh, that's a crazy trick. Sure. And then the average person is going to be like, I don't know what that is. I don't care.
