Tonight, CNN is hosting Donald Trump in a town hall that we have to absolutely watch
and probably make fun of.
Now, I don't know that we're gonna
make fun of Trump. We'll probably make fun of the questions and then probably answer them or
actually ask better questions. But we're going to be covering this and commenting on CNN's
town hall with Donald Trump. I think it's very important to break down, fact check and call out
any lies. And there is some news. The reason we're starting a few minutes early today is because they
are going to be doing the town hall at 8 p.m. Unlike a Trump speech, this one will probably be on time. Well, maybe not, but more
likely to be on time considering it's CNN scheduling and not Trump's. But I do want to give
a shout out to some news stories. Juror 77. Ah, yes. I'm in the news once again. First, it was
because apparently some guy, a horrible man ran a russian social media account
where he posted clips from one episode of our show which constitutes a fan i suppose then we
get this other juror in the eugene carroll story the the rape trial for trump who apparently watched
four episodes of the show as well and they said that constitutes him being a fan and for that
he should be disqualified
from the jury.
They also called me an extremist,
a conspiracy theorist,
and all the other nonsense.
But I do think it's fascinating
that they would go that far.
You've watched a show a couple times?
Kick him off the jury.
That's how you know they're in a cult.
Because I don't see conservatives
or the right or disaffected liberals
doing anything like that
or any sane jury.
How often do you hear of a jury, any side, plaintiff, defendant, whatever, being like, this guy watched
four episodes of Rachel Maddow. They should be removed from the trial. That's how insane these
people are. But I want to give a shout out to that story. So definitely shouting that one out.
Then we got some news as it pertains to Bud Light. Their sales are down even more this week. Now, according to Nielsen, 21% down last week, 23% down this week.
And we're still lagging by about two weeks of data.
So I can only imagine the next weeks are going to get worse because it's becoming more than just a boycott.
It has become toxic.
Just people who don't even know what's going on don't want to be associated.
And according to Fox News, Dylan Mulvaney says they have trouble sleeping at night over this.
So we'll talk about all that. Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.

Hello.
Who are you?
What do you do?
Well, I'm a meme maker.
I make the funnies
on the internet.
I was banned from twitter for a couple years
so that was really fun i got sued over a meme that was really fun wow um i met the president
once oh that's cool yeah you make a bunch of funny memes and they don't like you for it
they really really don't yeah um cnn really doesn't like me um let's see let's see daily beast i i think it's pretty much
all of them i think that's we'll just right on but did you get anyone disqualified from a jury
uh i didn't either so i don't know okay no i did i did get a guy thrown out of his school board
his school board uh because he shared one of my memes oh okay
alright
there you go
that was a couple years ago
alright there we go
alright

So that's going to be fun.
Right on.
And I'm Hannah Claire Brimelow.
I'm a writer for Timcast.com.
And I am Serge.com.
I'm ready for this town hall when you are.
Yeah, we're just waiting.
We have about a minute until the town hall starts.
We've got CNN playing it.
It matters against him.
How does he deal with this latest legal disaster?
I really don't want to hear what these people have to say right now. So someone's walking on stage. cnn playing it matters against him what is how does he deal with this latest the legal i really
i really don't want to hear what these people have to say right now so someone's walking on
stage so i certainly don't think it'll change his tune on that but i can't imagine it i'm sorry i'm
just gonna mute that until they actually start getting ready because uh i don't need to hear
from those people you know i don't want to hear what cnn has to say but uh the other big story
as i suppose we're waiting uh for the town hall to
start was that donald trump was found liable in that rape truck and that rape trial i guess
and the crazy thing is we talked about this last night one of the jurors apparently was a fan of
the show and he still they were unanimous they unanimously found that trump was liable for sexual
abuse of this woman with what evidence zero zero zero evidence she came out and said like this one time
this thing happened and they're like wow trump better pay her five million dollars yeah 30 year
old bruises you know 30 year old bruises do you know how that no she didn't that's that's a joke
i'm making it's like she still had him for 30 years you know there's not there's no evidence
there's nothing there do you know how they can even do that how they can find somebody liable for
a crime that they can't even prove happened there's no crime the last year new york passed
a law saying that people who are assaulted can sue their the people who assaulted them
forever or something like that and apparently they went on cnn so like we helped get this law passed
so they helped make a law that says they can sue a guy this is why i'm saying trump's going to be
convicted of of the the the tax fraud or whatever they're calling it improper business filings they're going to convict him it's going to be unanimous do you know when they got that
law passed a year ago interesting i wonder if they had this brewing for that law oh yeah yeah
of course probably passed the law to bring this case that's what i'm saying i mean i think they
said that didn't they that they helped get the law passed that allowed them to bring this case
and then you get a jury in new york unanimously says trump is liable that's why i'm like people are saying you got to get this guy in the show
and i'm like this anti-trump guy who thinks trump's responsible 30 years ago really yo he
said he watched the four episodes of the show he didn't say that he was a big fan of it i mean i
love to talk to him is it what is cnn doing are they getting ready for this? Here we go.
There's no way to, like, lower the volume on this.
It's so stupid. Just mute it.
I can just run it down here, like, whatever.
Yeah, I just need to be able to mute it periodically.
Yep, tune it out.
Tien.
Ugh. Look at her power suit. CNN's own college for CNN's town hall with former president Donald Trump. Tian. I'm Caitlin Collins. Tonight, President Trump is here as he embarks on a campaign unlike any other in the history of U.S. presidential elections.
He's the first former president in more than a century to seek a return to the White House.
She's so awful.
Who's even doing the moderating? Do we know?
Her.
That's just her?
I think so.
Caitlin.
Just yesterday, he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
Don Lemon's not doing it? No. No. Okay. Yeah, Kaylin. Just yesterday, he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Don Lemon's not doing it?
No.
No questions are off the table.
No, he doesn't work at CNN anymore.
Oh, does that happen?
Oh.
I didn't know.
Oh, my God.
Our audience is made up of Republicans and undeclared voters who plan to take part in
New Hampshire's Republican primary.
Elon Musk offered Don Lemon to do his show on Twitter.
No joke.
Seriously, he did.
He did.

will get a second chance to take on President Joe Biden.
Is Trump going to be as crazy as ever
or is he going to be really toned down?
Former President Donald Trump.
I think he's going to probably tone himself down.
He may make a few remarks.
He's dying.
He's looking presidential.
Oh, one-side standing ovation.
Got that power tie on.
So for those that are listening,
we'll be reading your super chats
periodically throughout the show
where they're most relevant.
Did you notice he doesn't have an X
where he has to walk?
Thank you for your time here tonight.
We've got a great crowd here in New Hampshire.
A lot of voters with a lot of questions about what your 2024 term would look like, what another Trump term would look like.
We'll get to the voters shortly. But your polls show that you are dominating the Republican race right now.
But you are also under active federal investigation for trying to overturn the 2020 election results.
Your first term ended with a deadly riot at the Capitol,
and you still have not publicly acknowledged
the 2020 election results.
Why should Americans put you back in the White House?
Because we did fantastically.
We got 12 million more votes than we had in,
as you know, in 2016.
I actually say we did far better in that election.
Got the most that anybody's ever gotten as a sitting president of the United States.
Isn't that tired?
Yeah, it's very tired.
That result, and when you look at what happened during that election,
unless you're a very stupid person, you see what happened.
A lot of the people in this audience, and maybe a couple that don't,
but most people understand what happened.
That was a rigged election, and it's
a shame that we had to go through it. It's very
bad for our country. All over the world, they looked at it.
No. And they saw exactly
what everyone else saw. The issue is,
what does it mean? If we're talking
about universal mail-in voting...
If you look at the FBI...
If you look at the FBI
and Twitter,
they call it Twitter files. You see, that's what he's talking about. If you look at... Mr. President, back to what you just said there. If you're at the FBI and Twitter, they call it Twitter files.
You see, that's what he's talking about.
Mr. President, back to what you just said there.
If you're talking about big tech.
It was not a rigged election.
It was not a stolen election.
You and your supporters lost more than 60 court cases on the election.
It's been nearly two and a half years.
Can you publicly acknowledge that you did lose the 2020 election?
Let me just go on. They found millions of votes on camera,
on government cameras,
where they were stuffing ballot boxes.
So with all of that,
I think it's a shame that what happened.
I think it's a very sad thing for our country.
No, I think Trump's surrounded himself
with bad people who misled him on this.
Our country has gone to hell.
Our borders are bad.
Our military has been bad.
You look at the taxes. You look at inflation, what's happened to inflation. It's just destroying
our country. We've really become, in many ways, a third world country. And it's very sad what's
happened in this administration. And it's something that we'll turn around on day one.
We were energy independent. Now energy is at a level that we've never had to pay before.
Nobody can afford to continue to pay what's happening with energy.
But we were energy independent. We were getting out of Afghanistan with strength and with dignity.
And instead we got out. We look like fools. Probably the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
We have a lot of questions about the economy and foreign policy.
But what you just said there, Republican officials debunked those claims about fraudulent ballots.
We want to give you a chance tonight-
Who?
Who?
Republican officials in Georgia and every single state.
There is no... Your own election officials, Mr. President.
So we wanted to give you a chance-
People were afraid to take on the issue, but we have a big problem in this country.
We have elections-
We wanted to give you a chance to acknowledge the results.
We have elections that were horrible.
If you look at what happened in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, if you look at what happened in Detroit, Michigan, If you look at what happened in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia,
if you look at what happened in Detroit, Michigan,
if you look at what happened in Atlanta.
He just shouldn't get insinuated.
I know, it's frustrating because it's just three years old.
People going to 28 different voting booths to vote.
They're baiting him to talk about something that nobody wants to hear.
I have to stop you there because there is no evidence of that.
Your own election officials testified to that nobody wants to hear. He'd look better if he just stayed on topic.
The issue is the structural changes Democrats made that gave them
advantages with ground game, universal
mail-in voting, nursing homes, ballot harvesting,
ballot chasing. You want to call Rick,
I get it.
Trump is just to say it and then get off the topic
because it's old.
I don't think him talking about that what's your question for the president no i got president trump welcome back to new hampshire i mean we're the only ones watching
this uh will you suspend polarizing talk of election fraud during your run for president
will i suspend excuse me what will you suspend polarizing talk of election fraud during your run for president
yeah unless i see election fraud if i say they're gonna bait him so hard with this it's what's
gonna hurt him the most did did you write that question because he had to read it again big
problem i hope to write them and then moderate i hope we're gonna have very honest elections
assume some people get assigned we should have voter id we should have one day elections we
should have paper ballots he's right about that We should have one-day elections. We should have paper ballots.
He's right about that.
We should have one-day voting, IDs, paper ballots.
Absolutely.
It's going to be very straight up, because if it's going to be straight up, we're going to win the election.
So you will suspend talk to his question about the 2020 election on the campaign trail?
I guess we're going to just win.
We're at a point now.
We're getting so close.
Let's just win it again and straighten out our country.
One other question on this.
That was so bad.
Yeah.
They always want to force them into saying yes or no.
You once suggested terminating the Constitution. Do you stand by those comments?
No, no. You were able to do certain things. I'm not talking about terminating the Constitution.
I'm talking about cherishing the Constitution.
The Constitution says that we're supposed to have legal and well-maintained and well-looked-at elections.
And we didn't have that.
I cherish our Constitution, but we have to live up to the Constitution.
We weren't living up to the Constitution.
I was just saying there's no evidence of that election fraud.
You did once tweet.
They're baiting him and he's falling right for it.
I'm glad you say that.
But he can't not respond.
He can.
He can say that's so old.
Are you seriously talking about that?
You sound silly.
Let's talk about important topics.
That's right.
He could deflect too.
They know this hurts him in the polls with moderates.
We have dishonest elections in our country.
We have open borders honest elections in our country.
We have open borders.
There we go.
He needs to pivot to a question.
To the borders.
I mean, I liked his Afghanistan pivot before, too. We have open borders.
Look at what's happening on our southern border.
Millions and millions of people are coming in.
They're being released from prisons.
They're being released from mental institutions.
And we have millions
of people pouring into our country. And now they're getting rid of Title 42, which I put on,
which kept people out that were sick. And Mr. President, we have a lot of questions about
immigration to get to tonight. Obviously, that's a big topic. She's going to go back to fraud.
It's expected to happen tomorrow. But I want to talk about the influence you have over your
voters. It's very clear that you are very influential over them.
You have a lot of impact.
I've been to many of your rallies and seen it up close, which raised a lot of questions
about the influence that we saw that you had on them on January 6th.
This is the whole plan for the town hall.
Do you have any regrets about your actions on January 6th?
Well, you know, January 6th was, again, we go back to it, but January 6th had to do with
the fact that hundreds of thousands of people, and you don't see the pictures very often.
A lot of the people here probably were there.
January 6th, it was the largest crowd I've ever spoken to.
That was prior to the walk down to the Capitol building.
I don't think, and I've spoken to hundreds of thousands of people.
I've never spoken to a crowd as large as this.
And that was because they thought the election was rigged and they were there proud. They were
there with love in their heart. That was an unbelievable and it was a beautiful day.
And what I was asked to do, I wasn't involved in it very much. I was asked to come in. Would I make
a speech? I made a speech. I said walk peacefully and patriotically,
you know, many different things. In fact, I brought a list of things I don't want
to bore the audience, but we can go sentence after sentence after sentence
of things I said and things I put out. One of the big problems was that
Nancy Pelosi, Crazy Nancy as I affectionately call her, Crazy Nancy
Pelosi and the mayor of Washington were in charge, as you know, of security. I'm not sure what he's supposed to do because they're gonna just keep
hitting on anything national and say soldiers will give you a national guard
and I think this is a good point I mean and they turn me down in writing they
tell me they're getting the time. He's not giving him
off point.
Trump needs to talk
about the economy,
immigration,
immigration,
immigration right now.
He wrote a book
and he's a fantastic guy
and he was ready to go.
I bet the producer
in her ear is saying,
no, no, no, no.
Back, back, back.
January 6th election.
January 6th election.
Knock him down in the polls.
It'll hurt Trump bad.
I don't like to look.
Nancy Pelosi said,
oh, we don't like to look. It's only 10 minutes.
They haven't said the I word yet.
I offered them 10,000 soldiers.
But he really should have very succinct talking points on these so he can then pivot.
But they're baiting him.
They're baiting him.
If they would have taken 500 soldiers, you wouldn't have had the problem.
He's smart enough to see that.
They turned it down.
And if you look at the Inspector General report, he says they turned it down.
They made a terrible mistake.
Well, Chris Miller was your acting defense secretary he says you never gave this response isn't
when they went to the capitol and they were breaking into the capitol smashing windows inj police officers, why did you why did it take you three hours to tell them to go home?
I don't believe it did. Oh, let me pull it out. I have to pull it out.
That's going to be memed. Let me pull it out. I have to pull it out.
So if you look at on January 5th, the day before, I said, please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement.
They are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful. Stay peaceful.
This was the day before and this was in the form of Twitter. Now use truth. Truth social.
I think it's far superior. OK, I hope everybody's. He also sponsors himself.
I hope everybody's on truth. If you look, January 6th, this is two before two thirty.
I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful.
This is right after as it was happening. But what happened is completely right.
They took it down. I don't know why. I think they took it down because it was so good.
They didn't like it. Come on. And we didn't know until I got it down because it was so good, they didn't like it being up there. This is Trump, come on.
And we didn't know until I got it back, because now I have 90 million people waiting for me to go back, but I'm on truth and I'm staying on truth.
Listen, I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful.
No violation.
We want no violation.
We want no violence.
Remember, we are the party of law and order.
Respect the law and our great men and women in blue. Thank you. That was at 2.30. That was very early. Mr. President, I looked at the same
timeline that you did. You didn't report that. You know why? Because it was taken down. We did
report it. I was reporting that. It was taken down. But when it was clear to you that they
were not being peaceful, you saw them rushing the Capitol, breaking windows. They were hitting
officers with flagpoles, tasing them,
beating them up. When it was clear
they weren't being peaceful,
why did you wait three hours to tell
them to leave the Capitol? They listened to you
like no one else. You know that.
They do. I agree with that.
It wasn't three hours.
Nancy Pelosi and the mayor are in charge.
I assume they were able to do their job. They weren't.
But Pelosi's not in charge of Capitol security.
And if you remember, I made a video
right outside the Oval Office in the Rose Garden.
And I'm very proud of that video.
I didn't have a script.
I don't need scripts like a certain person.
They're trying to pin him to a corner
because he didn't specifically say,
don't leave the Capitol when they think you should have.
And I think that's dumb.
He obviously called for him to be peaceful.
He said, don't violate the law.
Well, no one can even use social media at the Capitol because you couldn't get internet.
No.
We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people
of law and order. We love the people of law and order. We can't play into the hands of
these other people.
And he's totally right. Nancy Pelosi did not request police security.
They took that down
and you know to this day
it hasn't been put up.
Trump was still speaking on stage when that happened.
It's so conclusive that all of this
nonsense and all the tens of millions
of dollars that have been spent
are just wiped away with this one.
And they've never put it back up.
That's when the barricades were broken through. When northeast barricades were breached at 1.57pm. when it happened. Or just wiped away with this one. And they've never put it back up. They had another one that did.
That's when the barricades were broken through.
When Northeast barricades were breached at 1.57 p.m.
They breached the Capitol at 2 p.m.
That video was at 2.30.
It means if he made that statement at 2.30,
that was right away.
Actually, a little bit before that.
Right, so that's my question.
Because in that three hours,
over 140 officers were in the first line.
Where's her three hours coming from?
No, she's not even citing a tweet.
But I think the reason the timeline is so critical here,
because going back to your influence,
in that three hours, over 140 officers were injured that day.
And a person named Ashley Babbitt was killed.
Yes.
You know what? She was killed, and she shouldn't have been killed.
And that thug that killed her, there was no reason to shoot her.
They're going to hit him about that.
Blank range, cold blank range, they shot her.
And she was a good person.
She was a patriot.
There was no reason.
There was no reason.
And he went on television to brag about the fact that he killed her.
The officer was not bragging about the fact that he killed her.
But one person who was at the Capitol that day, as you know, was your vice president, Mike Pence,
who says that you endangered his life on that day.
I don't think he was in any danger.
Mr. President, do you feel that you owe him an apology?
No, because he did something wrong.
He should have put the votes back to the state legislatures,
and I think we would have had a different outcome.
So we're 16 minutes in, and we're still on January 6th
and election time.
He doesn't have the authority to do that.
Yep.
How long is this scheduled for?
An hour and a half.
Let's have this one out just now because it's interesting.
Let's keep it interesting, right?
I like Mike Pence very much.
He's a very fine man. He's a very nice man.
He made a mistake. His lawyer said
you cannot move. I called him
the human conveyor belt. I said,
even if the votes you made, I talked to his lawyer,
even if the votes are absolutely fraudulent, he can't say, yes, sir, he can't say, but, and the
Democrats played it and the RINOs played it. And then the election was over. They told him he
couldn't do it. And Mike said to me, I can't do it. The lawyers told me he can't do it. They can't do
it. But the lawyers were wrong because right after the election, they all met the RINOs and the
Democrats, and they worked out a plan to make sure that future vice presidents don't do what I said you could do.
That's not what happened.
You're referring to the Electoral Count Act.
I've read that.
There is no authority.
No, excuse me.
Legal experts, including Republican legal experts, say that he does not have that authority,
Mr. President.
Is this a town hall or a Trump versus CNN debate?
I think it's a debate.
They didn't change the law.
They strengthened the law because they were worried about the president.
We've got one question so far, right? All right. Trump versus CNN debate. I think it's a debate. They didn't change the law. They strengthened the law.
We've got one question so far.
Also with this expert from Caitlin, the CNN broadcaster.
They strengthened the law.
I miss what was there.
They convinced him he didn't, and it was a horrible thing for our country.
If you would have sent those votes back to Georgia, Pennsylvania, and other states, Wisconsin, which if you look at Wisconsin, they virtually admitted now that the election was rigged. If they had not admitted that,
many of those states, they would not come back in the affirmative. And remember what I said,
and you just said it pretty much, you admitted what I said was right. They said he didn't have
the right to do it, and he did have the right to do it.
And that's why they changed the law, taking that right away.
He's already kind of doing it.
I should note that your campaign paid for a recount in Wisconsin. It actually had more
votes for President Biden by the end of it. But I want to move on to Wayne Beyer. He's a retired
attorney from North Carolina. So many illegal votes were cast in Wisconsin. And if you look
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, they had so many illegal votes,
they didn't even know what to do with them. You're absolutely wrong about that.
Mr. President, there weren't any fraudulent votes in Wisconsin. I do want to get to the audience,
though. We have questions for you from the audience.
Well, there weren't any? Come on. Bill Barr said there were some.
He's previously served in Republican administrations. He volunteered for the
Republican Party in the 2022 midterms. He voted for you in 2020.
What's your question for the president, Wayne? Thank you for coming, Mr. President. Thank you, Wayne. My my my question to you is, will you pardon the January 6 rioters who were convicted of federal offenses?
I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can't say for every single one because a couple of them probably they got out
of control. That's fair.
This is a trap question
but I think it's a fair answer.
Tifa, look at what they've done to Minneapolis
and so many other
places.
They want to use the sound clip
and commercials later
to play to Democrats.
But I do think a lot of Republicans want to know
I'm not trying to justify anything.
But you have two standards of justice in this country.
And what they've done, and I love that question, because what they've done to so many people is nothing, nothing.
And then what they've done to these people, they've persecuted these people.
And, yeah, my my answer is I am most, if I get in, I will most likely,
I would say it will be a large portion of them. You know, they did a very...
And it'll be very early on. And they're living in hell right now.
So when it comes to pardons...
They're living in hell. And they're policemen, and they're firemen, and they're soldiers,
and they're carpenters, and and electricians and they're great people.
Many of them are just great people.
Mr. President, one of the people who was convicted was a former policeman, but he was convicted of attacking a police officer, I should note.
But when you said you are considering pardoning a large portion of those charged with crimes on January 6th, does that include the four Proud Boys members who were charged and convicted of seditious conspiracy? I don't know. I'd have to look at their case. But I will say
in Washington, D.C., you cannot get a fair trial. You cannot. Just like in New York City,
you can't get a fair trial. He is correct. Speaking of New York, I want to ask you about
a significant verdict that was reached yesterday. I know this is something you want to weigh in on as well.
A Manhattan jury found that you sexually abused the writer E. Jean Carroll and defamed her.
You've denied this.
The audience is laughing.
It disqualifies you from being president.
There aren't too many of them because my poll numbers just came out.
They went up.
Oh, man.
And the only person in history who had a charge like that,
and usually you leave office, you say, I'm sorry,
but I'm going to back home.
I'm back home to my family and everything.
I'm going to be resigned.
My poll numbers went up,
and they went up with the other fake charge, too.
Because what's happening is they're doing this
for election interference.
This woman, I don't know her.
I never met her.
I have no idea who she is.
I had a picture taken years ago with her and her husband, nice guy, John Johnson. He was a
newscaster, a very nice man. She called him an ape, happens to be African-American,
called him an ape. The judge wouldn't allow us to put that in. Her dog or her cat was named
Vagina. The judge wouldn't allow to put that in all of these things
he would but with her they could put in anything access this is a jury of nine people who found you
liable of sexual abuse do you think that that that will deter women from voting for you no i don't
think so because i think the whole jury is listening... Just so you understand. Ready? I never met this woman.
I never saw this woman.
You did just say you took a picture with her, though.
I met her at the front door of Bergdorf Goodman,
which I rarely go into, other than for a couple of charities.
Yeah, he should clarify that.
I met her in the front door.
She was about 60 years old.
This is like 22, 23 years ago.
I met her in the front door of Bergdorf Goodman.
I was immediately attracted
to her and she was immediately attracted to me. And we had this great chemistry. We're walking
into a crowded department. So we had this great chemistry. And a few minutes later, we end up in a
room, a dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman, cash register. And then she found out there are locks
in the door. So she said, I found one that
was open. She found one. She learned this at trial. She found one that was open. What kind
of a woman meets somebody and brings them up? And within minutes, you're playing hanky-panky
in a dressing room. I don't know if she was married then or not. John Johnson,
I feel sorry for you, John Johnson. Mr. President, can I?
I know you're recounting what she said. I know you're recounting what she said, but...
I know you're recounting what she said, but I like it.
This was a jury, though.
Just so you understand, if I was walking in...
Because I was very famous then,
and I owned the Plaza Hotel right next door,
and I owned buildings around it.
I'm not going into...
He's right.
...the dressing room of a crowded department store.
Then I say, if she was being raped...
And by the way, they said she wasn't raped.
Okay, that was her charge.
They found that you sexually abused her.
Say what?
They said he didn't rape her.
I didn't do anything else.
Actually, they did.
That wasn't true.
But Mr. President, can I ask you,
given you're recounting your version?
And I tell you this.
Are you ready?
Can I ask you this?
My children, which I never do, I have no idea who, and I tell you this. But Mr. President, can I ask you this? And I speak for my children, which I never do.
I have no idea who this woman is.
This is a fake story, made-up story.
We had a horrible Clinton-appointed judge.
He was horrible.
He allowed her to put everything in.
He allowed us to put nothing in.
Mr. President, you're re-revealing your version of a venture right now to the audience.
Trump walked around New York by himself without people screaming, it's Donald Trump.
He's casually going to Burgdorf.
By himself walking in, nobody noticed.
My lawyer said, sir, you don't have to do it.
I actually said, I think I should.
It would be respectful.
They said, sir, don't do it.
This is a fake story and you don't want to give it credibility.
That's why I didn't go.
One thing you did do in this.
And I swear, and I've never done that, and I swear to you, I have no idea who the hell.
She's a whack job.
Mr. President, you did not testify in person in this.
Donald Trump do this without her.
You defended the position of you from October in it.
You defended the comments that you made on that Excess Hollywood tape about being able to grab women how you want.
Do you stand by those comments?
I'm not that surprised.
I said if you're famous and rich or whatever I said, but I said if you're a star, you are.
And I said, women let you.
I didn't say you grab.
I said women let.
You know, you didn't use that word.
But if you look, women let you.
Now, they said, will you take that back? I said, look,
for a million years, this is the way it's been. I want to be honest. This is the way it's been.
I can take it back if you'd like to. But if you're a famous person, if you're a star,
and I'm not referring to myself, I'm saying people that are famous, people that are stars,
people that are rich, people that are powerful, they tend to do pretty well in a lot of different ways okay and you see that got him
got him because it happens it's over it's been true for one million years approximately a million
years perhaps a little bit longer than that so you stand by those comments i don't want to lie
mr president here's what here's what she wants say. A rich and famous person has no advantage over us.
And I say unfortunately, but that's the way it is.
You want me to lie?
A rich and famous person has no advantage.
We have a lot of audience questions to get to tonight.
I want to go back to the audience.
We've got Danielle Rieger.
She works as an oral surgery assistant.
She's a Republican activist from Derry.
She was a New Hampshire delegate for you in 2020. What's your question? Hi, thank you so much for coming to New Hampshire
to answer our questions. My question is regarding the economy. Over the past two years, we have seen
the prices for everything skyrocket from food to gas to utilities and insurance costs. Many people's
bills are up several hundred dollars a month,
including mine.
If elected president again,
what is the first thing you would do
to help bring down the cost to make things more affordable?
Something voters actually care about.
Drill, baby, drill.
Woo!
I agree with that.
Good answer.
We were energy independent.
We were soon going to be energy dominant.
And nobody had ever done what I did.
We got oil down to $1.87.
Actually, it fell lower than that in some cases.
We had to save the oil companies that the price was getting.
So we were doing incredibly.
We had the greatest economy in the history of our country,
probably the greatest economy in the history of the world.
We were energy independent, soon to be energy dominant.
We were going to be bigger than Russia and Saudi Arabia put together times two. We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other nation, any other nation. And these stupid fools ended it.
And energy went from a dollar eighty seven and even lower for gasoline, for a car. They went from
$1.87 to $5, $6, $7, $8, and even $9. And your electricity bills went through the roof. Your
heating bills went through the roof. And that's what started inflation. And it hasn't stopped
because people are paying now for bacon and for eggs and for the two and three times what it was just a little while ago
We created the greatest economy in history a big part of that economy was I get got you the biggest tax cuts in the history
of our country bigger than the Reagan cuts bigger than any
Caitlin also as you know, we got the biggest
Regulation and regulatory cuts.
We this place was rocking and then we were given a gift from China and China paid a big price.
And let me tell you something. I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes from China.
But prior to covid coming in and then I rebuilt the economy again a second time.
But we had prior to covid coming in as from China, from Wuhan,
which I said it came from Wuhan. Everybody said, oh, you're wrong about that. You're wrong.
It came from Wuhan. I said it right from day one. So we had the greatest economy in the world.
Here's the story. They made energy so high and energy is all invasive. It is massive as an
industry and as a cost. It lifted everything.
If you made donuts,
no matter what you did,
we had inflation, the likes
of which I guess we haven't had since
52 years, but I think more than that.
We had no inflation.
That's why CNN put it there.
He's moderator.
This country was rocking and rolling.
By the way, we had the most secure
millions of jobs lost people not getting their social security payments people believe it would
put the u.s economy into a recession um on that topic, I want to bring in Marta Cervella, a student here at St. Anselm. She is an undeclared voter who did not
vote in 2020. Marta, what's your question? Hi, Mr. President. So my question is, what do you
think about the United States' current debt situation and how can we move forward? Such
an important question. So we're at $33 trillion, a number that nobody ever thought
possible. When we had our economy rocking and rolling just prior to COVID coming in,
like literally, we were making a fortune. And oil, we were going to make so much money from oil,
we're going to start paying off debt. But then with COVID coming in, we had to do other things.
We had to keep this country alive because it was so serious. But we have to get the country back. We have to lower energy prices. We have to lower
interest rates. Interest rates are through the roof. Energy has to come down. It all has to
come down and we have to start paying off debt. But when we have a debt limit and they use that
very seriously, I mean, they came in, Schumer came in with Nancy Pelosi and they were using it.
We'll violate it. We'll violate it.
We'll do whatever.
They talked a whole lot different than they do right now.
I say to the Republicans out there, congressmen, senators, if they don't give you massive cuts,
you're going to have to do a default.
Do it.
And I don't believe they're going to do a default because I think the Democrats will absolutely cave because you don't want to have that happen.
But it's better than what we're doing right now because we're spending money like drunken
sailors. So just to be clear Mr. President, do you think the US should default if the White House does not agree?
It's like they come in from being out and then they go out and party.
We have to save this country. Our country is dying. Our country is being destroyed
by stupid people, by very stupid people.
You said that using the debt ceiling as a negotiating wedge just could not happen.
You said that when you were in the Oval Office.
That's when I was president.
So why is it different now that you're out of office?
Because now I'm not president.
He's taking it back.
Trump's taking it back.
His polling is going up.
I can feel it. He's taking it back. Trump's taking it back. His polling is going up. I can feel it.
He's warming up for sure.
The U.S. defaulting would be massively consequential for everyone in this room, for all of Americans.
You don't know.
It's psychological.
You don't know.
Get out of here, Caitlin.
It's psychological more than anything else.
And it could be very bad.
It could be maybe nothing.
Maybe you have a bad week or a bad day.
But look, you have to cut your costs.
We're spending $7 trillion on much of it on nonsense.
$7 trillion on nonsense.
We've got another question for the voter tonight.
I don't want to hear this anymore.
And frankly, the Senate should have never approved it.
Get all that money that was wasted.
And if they don't get rid of that, you'll have to default.
Mr. President, we've got another voter here tonight.
And by the way, you're going to default eventually anyway. But it's going to be much messier. I don't think you'll have to default. Mr. President, we've got another voter here tonight. And by the way, you're going to default eventually anyway.
But it's going to be much messier.
I don't think you'll have to default. I think if the
Republicans hold strong and they say
we want five, let's say
we want $5 trillion off,
I really think the Democrats have
no choice but to do it.
And if I win, they're going to be doing the same thing
to me in two years. I guarantee you that.
Mr. President, we've got another voter here tonight. I guarantee you that. When's COVID coming up?
And they did that before.
He brought up first, technically.
He's a student at St. Anselm. He's a member of College Republicans. He's an undeclared
voter right now. He supported you in 2020. Bobby, what's your question for President Trump?
Hi, thank you for coming. This is a bit of a pivot, but with gun violence and mass shootings
in the news cycle recently, I'm worried that state governments and the federal government
are going to act to repress gun rights.
Under your administration, you instructed the Department of Justice and the ATF to ban
bump stocks.
If elected president again, how would you act not only to defend our Second Amendment
rights, but to restore rights that have been taken from us?
By you.
Such as, by example, recently the ATF's ruling on the pistol stabilizing braces.
Yes.
As you know, the bump stocks are actually a very unimportant thing. And NRA, I went with them and they said it doesn't mean
anything. Actually, all they do is teach you how to shoot very inaccurately. So we did that.
There's been nobody that's protected the Second Amendment, as you know, like I have. I protected
it through thick and thin, not easy to do. But we have a very big mental health problem in this
country. And again,
it's not the gun that pulls the trigger. It's the person that pulls the trigger.
And we have to protect our second.
Mr. President, you dealt with a lot of mass shootings when you were in office this year.
There have already been more than 200 mass shootings in 2023. If you are reelected,
are there any new gun restrictions that you would sign into
law? I would do numerous things. For instance, schools, we would harden very, very much harden.
And I also, I'm a very believer. I believe in teachers. I love teachers. I think they're
incredible. And they love the children, not quite like the parents, but they love the children in
many cases, almost as much. Many of these teachers are soldiers, ex-soldiers, ex-policemen. They're
people that really understand weapons and you don't need 5% of these teachers are soldiers, ex-soldiers, ex-policemen. They're people that
really understand weapons and you don't need 5% of the teachers would be more than you could ever
have if you're going to hire security guards. But in addition to that, have security guards.
You have to harden your entrances. You have to make schools safe and you can make other places
safe. But it is a big mental health problem in this country, more than anything else. And remember, we have 700 million guns, 700 million.
Many people, if they don't have a gun, they're not going to be very safe.
I mean, if they don't have a gun, it gives them security.
Now, you need them for entertainment.
You need them for hunting.
You need them for a lot of different things.
But there are people that if they didn't have the privilege of having a gun
in some form, they many of them would not be alive today. You know, there is a certain country
that had a very strict policy on guns. Very, very strict. Which country? Brazil. OK, Brazil,
very strict. And the former president of Brazil and the killing was incredible. They were walking into people's homes and killing people.
They had no protection.
She'd go out and buy guns.
People went out and bought guns and it went way down.
The numbers went way down because they had security.
If you look at Chicago, Chicago has the single toughest gun policies in the nation.
They are so tough you can't breathe.
New York, too, and other places also.
All of those places are the worst and most dangerous places. So that's not the answer. No new restrictions that
you would sign if reelected, Mr. President. I want you to meet Julie Miles, a registered nurse
from Merrimack. She's a Republican who voted for you in 2020. Julie, what's your question for the
president? Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate you answering this question this evening. How do
you plan to appeal to women voters in New Hampshire who are concerned about the Dobbs decision and how states may change their laws?
It's such a great question. And it was such a great victory. And people are starting to understand it now.
You know that they wanted to bring it back to the states, but that was probably the least important part of that victory. Getting rid of Roe v. Wade was an incredible thing for pro-life because it gave pro-life
something to negotiate with.
Pro-life had absolutely nothing being stuck in Roe v. Wade to negotiate with.
And now what's happening, and I see it all over, deals are being made.
Deals are going to be made.
And look, everybody that was president wanted to get rid and tried to get rid of Roe v. Wade.
You mean 50 years? Republicans for 50 years. This has been going on.
Actually, a couple of Democrats, too. But for 50 years, this has been going on.
I was able to do it and I was very honored to do it. But by doing it, things are happening that are very, very positive. And you have
to I happen to believe in the exceptions, the life of the mother, rape, incest, like
Ronald Reagan believed in the exceptions, but I happen to believe that I think it I
think it's frankly important to do that. But a lot of people are, you know, against that
a relatively small, relatively small number. But the way I the way I look, I think it's
very important to say this.
I consider the other side to be radical because the other side under Roe v. Wade and other things,
the other side, they're radical because they will remember the debate when they said rip the baby out of the womb at the end of the ninth month. They will kill the baby in the ninth month.
If you look at that crazy governor of Virginia from the former governor,
where he said, no, the baby will be born
and then we'll decide essentially
whether or not to execute the baby.
But Mr. President, can we talk about what you would do
if you are re-elected?
It's not the pro-life people that are out.
But if you are re-elected and you're back in the Oval Office
and you get legislation to your desk,
would you sign a federal abortion ban into law?
Tim's texting.
What I'll do is negotiate so that people are happy.
But the fact that we were able, I was able, I'm so proud of it.
We put three great justices on the Supreme Court.
We have almost 300 federal judges on this.
So you, just to be clear, this is the latest resident.
Question from Caitlin, not from the audience.
You would sign a federal abortion ban into law.
I said this, I said this.
I want to do what's right.
And we're looking. And we want to do what's right for everybody.
But now for the first time, the people that are pro-life have negotiating capability because you didn't have it before.
They could kill the baby in the ninth month or after the baby was born. Now they won't be able to do that. But I think this is a really important question for you to answer, because this is something every Republican, including those who are running against you for the nomination, are
being asked about, is would you sign a federal abortion ban into law?
And many of them are going to give you the same answer as I.
I am, first of all, I am honored to have done what I did.
And a lot of people said, they said in 150 years, he's now the most consequential president
because he saved so many lives. And I'm honored to have done it.
And because of what I've done we now have a great negotiating ability. That's what I do in life, I negotiate.
We have a great negotiating ability and I think we're gonna be able to get something done.
But what do you mean negotiating ability? Because the question that Republicans have, and some of your allies on Capitol Hill say they want to get him on camera saying that he comes to banning abortion.
If they send it to your desk, would you sign it?
Some people are at six weeks. Some people are at three weeks.
There we go. Good answer.
President Trump is going to make a determination what he thinks is great for the country and what's fair for the country.
But the fact that I was able to terminate Roe v. Wade
after 50 years of trying, they worked for 50 years. I've never seen anything like it. They
worked. And I was even I was so honored to have done it. We are in a very good negotiating position
right now only because of what I was able to do. And remember, he's not going to again,
you talk about radicalism, people that will kill a baby in the ninth month or the eighth month or the seventh month or after the baby is born, they're the radicals, not the pro-racists.
I just want to give you one more chance, though, because you did not answer whether or not you signed a federal abortion ban or how many weeks into pregnancy you believe abortion should be banned.
Can you answer either of those tonight? I've given you the answer probably four times already. Which one is it? I'm looking
at a solution that's going to work. Very complex issue for the country. You have people on both
sides of an issue, but we are now in a very strong position. Pro-life people are in a strong position
to make a deal that's going to be good and going to be satisfactory for them. If you weren't able
to get rid of, you wouldn't even be having them. If you weren't able to get rid of, you wouldn't even be having a discussion, if you weren't able to get rid of
Roe v. Wade, which put pro-life in a dead position, a horrible position, they could kill the baby at
any time they wanted to, but we did something that nobody thought was doable, and other Republican
presidents, and others, by the way, they wanted to get it out. They also wanted to bring it back
to the states, but bringing it back to the states.
But bringing it back to the states is a less important issue than the issue that we just talked about.
But that's why it's the question about a federal abortion ban.
You did not say yes or no to that.
You did not say how many weeks.
It depends what the deal is.
Lindsey Graham is a good man.
He's got an idea, and a lot of other people have an idea.
And I look at all the—
It depends on the deal.
That's your answer.
She needs to move on.
She's terrible.
President Trump, we've got more questions to come for you tonight. We'll be right back in just a moment. Oh, look at that. That's your answer. She needs to move on. She's terrible. President Trump, we've got more questions to come
for you tonight.
We'll be right back
in just a moment.
Oh, look at that.
We get a break.
I wonder too if he knows.
I'm impressed so far.
The beginning was a little slow,
but I'm impressed
with where we got so far.
That was 40 minutes
with no commercials
and now they're doing a commercial.
I guess they only got
one commercial break
or something.
And he must know
how long this,
I mean, that's one of the reasons
he probably kept
filibustering. With the abortion thing i was like he's got
to hit at how these states are enacting restrictionless outright abortion at nine
months viability all of that stuff because most americans find that completely unreasonable right
and then i i think trump's got some really great stuff going on where he's like well i'm not
president you know like that was that was really good he's like, well, I'm not president. You know, like that was really good.
He's like, when I was president, it was great.
I liked his paper pillow.
Yes.
It was really good.
It was good that he had the timestamps and she would not accept that she was wrong.
I gotta say, what is she doing?
This is, it's crazy to me.
When we had Lance from the surfs on last week and we did this a lot, a lot of people get
mad.
They're like, why wasn't, you know, we had destiny on.
Why wasn't Tim drilling destiny and going crazy?
Because we're not debating. It's a debate show. debate show half half of the time like sometimes they'll say
something that is wrong and i'll be like no no that's incorrect you can't say that sometimes
they'll be like i believe x because of this reason and i'll go okay like you're allowed to have a
moral position and an opinion i can't be like your opinion is wrong i'm just like oh i died okay and
then what they try to do is they say like oh oh, Tim got owned or whatever. No, this is the problem with the modern left, default liberals or leftists.
Caitlin Collins thinks no matter what Trump says, she has to try and get him.
Instead of saying, Trump, what's your thoughts on this?
Thank you for telling us that.
Next question.
What are your thoughts on this?
Instead, you're like, nope, you're wrong.
Nope, you're wrong.
Wrong.
That's where she's coming from.
She wants to get him.
And like it's she's made it her personal mission to get him on every answer and also to get that soundbite that they can put into every commercial for the next two years.
And for her own prowess.
Right.
Like she is looking at looking at this Washington Examiner article.
There's speculation that they'll offer her Chris Cuomo spot.
Right.
So she is trying to launch her career off of getting Trump
to say the infamous soundbite.
She wants that to be her moment.
Like, this is...
She wants her Megyn Kelly.
And I respect that, right?
She's in broadcast journalism.
She wants her Megyn Kelly moment.
She does.
That Megyn Kelly didn't even get.
Yeah.
So...
I just...
I don't know what they...
What this guy, licked guy, sees in Kaylin Collins.
I'm like, I can understand having her be a reporter, but giving her a show, then having
her host a presidential town hall, it's just not there.
Like Anderson Cooper, I get.
Kaylin Collins, I don't get.
You know, Megyn Kelly is good.
She did a great job with Trump.
There are a lot of people I think could do way better than her.
I think there are, I think CNN thinks about the way its voters want to see Trump portrayed, right?
And that makes sense.
It's their channel.
But I think conservative viewers tend to want a moderator who is going to keep the conversation
going and who isn't there to just fact check.
Whereas MSNBC, CNN tends to staff people who are there to fact check everyone involved
in debates.
And it becomes really, I had a professor when I was at SMU who did a study on this who said,
you know, you find that left-leaning mainstream media, they spend a lot of time saying, well,
well, actually that's not correct. Whereas when you're on Fox or a different network,
it tends to be more just about making sure that you're hearing from enough people that are
actually sort of holding the true position of a moderator.
Well, I think they also want to have a woman on there
so that it can be this combative thing that they can say,
oh, you know, look at how dismissive he is of the moderator.
You know, she's asking all these really good questions
and he won't answer them.
And then he says mean things to her.
Holds up his finger.
Yeah, and holds up his finger.
Like, how dare you do that to a woman?
You don't hold up your finger.
You know, I just got an idea
as I'm watching these CNN commercials.
We should run commercials on CNN.
You should, it'd be really funny.
Teamcast IRL commercials.
They'd be pretty cheap right now, I think.
Yeah, I think they're like eight grand for 30 seconds.
You know how with like NPR,
if they're doing a story on something,
they have to occasionally say like,
just in full transparency,
you know, Apple is a sponsor of NPR or whatever.
And CNN would have to be like,
when they report on you,
just to be clear,
Tim Pool is a sponsor.
We're back.
Welcome back to CNN's Republican Presidential Town Hall
with former President Donald Trump.
President Trump, I'd like you to meet Jennifer Simmons.
She is a stay-at-home mom
and former town selectman from Wyndham. She's a Republican and she voted for you in 2020. Jennifer, what's
your question tonight? Good evening, Mr. President. Title 42 is expected to expire tomorrow.
Our southern border and now our northern border are experiencing record migration.
We learned on May 2nd that the Biden administration plans on deploying 1,500 troops to the southern
border. Do you agree
with deploying troops to the border? And how will a Trump administration slow down the rate of
migrants coming across all our borders? Sure. A very fair question, especially since tomorrow
is going to be a day of infamy. Oh, yeah. You're going to have tens of thousands of people pouring
into our country. Even the judge, you know, the judge overruled them when they wanted to terminate it early. And he said, you know that you better extend this thing.
The judge in Texas said, I hope you're going to extend this. But this is my policy that they're
letting terminate because they lost in court. They wanted to go earlier. You're going to have
millions of people pouring into our country right now at a level that nobody's ever seen before.
These people are sick. Anybody that wants this to happen to our country, they're destroying our
country. And this should not be allowed to happen. How they're not going to do a version of Title 42
or my Title 42, which was tough. If people are sick and have infectious diseases and lots of
other problems, we don't want them being into our country. We have enough problems right now.
We have problems like we've never had
in the history of our country.
But Mr. President, the reason it's ending
is because the health policy,
the COVID era pandemic emergency is coming to an end.
That's what Title 42 was.
You put it in place because of COVID.
When it comes to big questions
about what your immigration policy would look like
if you are reelected,
some of your Republican rivals have criticized you for not fulfilling the promises that you made on the campaign trail,
like finishing the border wall.
So how do voters know that you would get those done if you're reelected?
I did finish the wall.
I built a wall.
I built hundreds of miles of wall, and I finished it.
And then I said, we have to build some more because there are areas like water going through a dam.
There are some areas
where a lot of people are coming.
You close up one
and they come into another.
And we started
another hundred miles of wall.
In fact, I said to my people,
if we start this
and don't finish it,
and then we had a rigged election.
I'm sorry to say it.
The election was not rigged,
Mr. President.
You can't keep saying that all night long.
She can.
And also, if she were really moderating, she would have gone back to the first question.
Three weeks. I built hundreds of miles of wall. If we didn't have the election stuff,
hard to believe it could be any worse. It's just letting people flow into our country. Talk about immigration. Look, a country has to have borders. I think it is funny,
though, that she has to keep saying it was not rigged. There's never been anything like
that is happening to our country. You can't let miles of new wall when you were in office, Mr. President.
It wasn't the complete wall.
One other thing with immigration.
No, but I have to respond to that.
With your immigration, it was only about 52 miles of new wall.
This is what she does.
I built hundreds of miles.
Some of the wall was up there, and it would be laying on the ground, rusted rotten steel, rusted rotten wood.
And what the radical left crazy Democrats did, if there's a piece of wood laying down, they considered that a wall.
I built 30-foot walls that go down seven feet into the ground.
If there was a little piece of wood sitting in the ground, they said, oh, he's not building a wall.
We already had a wall. Because this is the game. They're a party of disinformation.
It's not a game, Mr. President. It's about 52 miles of new wall.
Are you kidding me?
One of their immigration policies is to have a new wall.
Also, Caitlyn, this woman asked about the troops at the border.
Why are you not going back to that?
She didn't answer the question, and she's not making an answer to the question either.
That was up and rotting in the ground for 30 years.
Some of it was steel that you couldn't even see.
Mr. President, it was only about 52 miles of new wall.
But moving on, another immigration policy you had was the zero tolerance
immigration policy that separated families at the border. If you are reelected, are you ruling out
the troops? Well, when you have that policy, people don't come. If the family hears that
they're going to be separated, they love their family. They don't come. So I know it sounds harsh, but if you remember, remember they said I was building prisons for children.
It turned out that it was Obama that was built. We have to save our country.
All right. So it sounds like that's a yes. No, no. When you say to a family that if you come, we're going to break you up.
They don't come. And we can't
afford to have any more. Look at New York City. Look what's happening. They're living in Central
Park in New York City. The city is being swamped. Los Angeles is being swamped. Iowa is being
swamped. Our whole country is being destroyed. Millions of people are coming into our country.
And you know what the number is going to be, in my opinion, by the end of the year?
Not the 4 million that you hear and the 3 million.
I think it's going to be 15 million people.
And in these people, they have no idea where they come from.
They come from 129 different countries so far.
120, not just the four that we talked about.
Just to put a button on that, it sounds like what you're saying is that you're not ruling out re-implementing that immigration policy.
I want to get to another voter.
Caitlin Poizono is a student here at St. Anselm College.
She's a Republican.
This will be the first election that she has voted in.
What's your question for the president, Kaitlin?
Hello, President Trump.
Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you.
The current administration has made it clear
that we should continue to provide military equipment to Ukraine
so that they can defend themselves.
Do you support this decision?
And how would you deal with the increasing threat posed by Vladimir Putin?
First of all, thank you very much. It's really nice. And it's an important question, so important
because we're giving away so much equipment. We don't have ammunition for ourselves right now.
We don't have ammunition for ourselves. We're giving away so much. But here's the thing.
I have to say it to start off. No longer matters. If I were president, this would have never happened. And even the Democrats
admit that Putin knew it would have never happened and his pipeline would have never
happened. A lot of things would have never happened. But this was never happened. And
all those dead people, both Russian and Ukrainian, they wouldn't be dead today.
And all those cities that are blown up
and disintegrated right to the ground, that wouldn't have happened. OK, now here's the problem.
We've given so far one hundred and seventy one billion dollars. They've given meaning they
meaning European Union, which is approximately the same size altogether as our economy.
They've given about 20. So we're at 170, let's say, and they're at 20.
You don't have to know too much about history to realize or geography to realize that they're a
little bit more affected than we are. OK, so they've got to put up a lot more money because
they're taking advantage of us like every other country did. That's why I ended NAFTA and replaced
it with the USMCA in
Mexico. But on this issue, Mr. President, I should know, I don't know any Democrats who have said
they don't believe Putin would have been invaded if you were president. But her question is,
would you continue to give Ukraine money and weapons if you're elected? No. So she remembers
this girl's question, not the other ones. I have a very good relationship with President Zelensky,
because as you know, he backed me up with the phony impeachment,
impeachment hoax number one, when he said the president didn't do anything wrong.
So I happened to like, so I happened to like, yeah, that's right. And it was,
I was totally exonerated, by the way, just a waste of time and money.
You were impeached.
Impeached does not mean convicted, Caitlin Collins.
No, Caitlin Collins doesn't need to know the details.
I was impeached by a crazy woman named Nancy Pelosi. does not mean convicted Caitlin Collins. No, Caitlin Collins doesn't need to know the details.
I was impeached by a crazy woman named Nancy Pelosi. But the question here is,
can you bring weapons and funding if you are elected?
I would sit down.
Let me just put it nice away.
If I'm president,
I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours.
I agree.
I think you will.
Good call.
How would you settle that war in one day?
How?
How would you do that?
They both have weaknesses and they both have strengths.
And within 24 hours, that war will be settled.
It'll be over.
It'll be absolutely over.
Do you want Ukraine to win this war?
I don't think in terms of winning and losing.
I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people.
Here, here.
That was a good answer.
Sharp, fast.
What do you, can I just follow up on that?
You said you don't think in terms of winning and losing.
Mr. President, can I just follow up on that?
Because that's a really important statement that you just made there.
Can you say if you want Ukraine or Russia to win this war?
I want everybody to stop dying.
Yes!
Russians and dying.
He's not making himself look good here.
And I'll have that done.
But what team?
What team are you on?
You need the power of the presidency to do it.
But you won't say that you want Ukraine to win?
Oh, come on.
You know what I'll say?
I'll say this.
I want Europe to put up more money.
Because they're in for $20 billion.
We're in for $170.
And they should equalize.
They have plenty of money.
They should equalize.
I got with NATO.
I sat down.
I got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars.
They weren't paying under Obama and Bush and all of these other presidents.
That's why they're able to help them fight the war because of the money I got.
But I want Europe to put up more money because they're laughing at us. They think
we're a bunch of jerks. We're spending $170 billion for faraway land and they're right next
door to that land and they're in for 20. I don't think so. When it comes to what's happening there,
when you were in office, you said that you respected President Putin. Do you still respect
him today? He made a tremendous mistake. He made
his smart guy. You know, I remember I said he was smart. She was smart. They said he said President
Xi of China. Right. It's smart. OK. One point five billion people. He's the ruler of one point
five billion people. I said, yeah, he's a smart guy. How dare he say he's smart? Of course he's
smart. They want you to say he's a stupid person
okay he's not a stupid person he's very smart he's very cunning and putin made a bad mistake
in my opinion what was his mistake his mistake was going in he would have never gone in if i
was president we used to talk i agree do you believe that he is a war criminal what do you
believe that putin is a war criminal he's? Do you believe that Putin is a war criminal?
He's responsible for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainian men
and women and civilians.
Well, I think this,
I think it's something
that should not be discussed now.
It should be discussed later
because right now
we have to get a war.
If you say he's a war criminal,
it's going to be a lot tougher
to make a deal
to get this stuff.
Yes, yes.
Because if he's going to be
a war criminal
where people are going to go
and grab him and execute him,
he's going to fight a lot harder
than he's fighting,
you know, under the other circumstance.
That's something to be discussed at a later date.
Right now, we want to get that war settled.
Shut up, Caitlin.
And I'm not talking about the money, either.
I'm talking about all the lives that have been...
The number of people being killed in the war is far greater than you're hearing.
Yeah, can't we talk about domestic issues?
When they blow up the city and those buildings come pouring down and they say two people
were injured.
No, no. Hundreds and thousands of people are being killed.
And we have to get that war settled.
We have more with former President Trump right after this.
We're going to take a quick break and then we'll be back with questions from voters right after that.
I think the Ukraine thing is a domestic issue because we were 170 billion in.
Sure.
So I like the fact that they went there.
I think he handled that really well.
Grand slam.
I think she was looking to get him to say something stupid,
and he stayed on point.
I think he hit it out of the park.
Grand slam.
Basis are loaded.
Knocked it out.
When she's like, do you want Ukraine to win?
Will you say it?
He's like, I want everyone to stop dying.
He nailed it.
Exactly.
You can't get them.
They can't soundbite that because he's right.
And she looked horrible because she kept asking the same question after he answered it very
succinctly.
She only does that when she has a soundbite that she's trying to get.
Do you think Putin's a war criminal?
And then Trump nailed it.
Look, if we call him a war criminal, how are we going to negotiate an end to the war?
He's going to say no.
We're going to wait on that
in fact the fact that she even brings it up on national television with as many viewers as
watching is bad for trying to end the war but you know what they don't want the war to end
no i bet a guy in her ear said say say putin's a war criminal because we want it on tv yeah we
want putin to think that if the war ends he dies yeah that way he never stops yeah and and putin and trump
had a strong rapport when he was in office they want to try and make trump uh an impossible choice
if you want to end the war too they don't they want putin to be against him let me let me uh
mitchie cool says did y'all hear collins call him mr president she hasn't really yeah yeah she also
wants to hurt hurt him with conservatives because if he's on Team Ukraine, that hurts him with lots of conservatives.
Before before it comes back, I want to just address the election thing when people so as many people are pointing out, everybody wants to say that the election was rigged.
If you're talking about the Democrats changed rules so they could get universal mail in voting, they could go to nursing homes. They could ballot chase, ballot harvest, and all of these things that were deemed
legal by the courts. I agree. I think it's shady. I think we should have one day of voting. This is
why we should have reforms. We should have a day of voting. We should have voter ID. We should have
paper ballots. I agree with all of that. But when, so if you're saying that's what you mean by rigged,
I get it. And you had that article in Time magazine. But what I'm trying to make sure
we're not talking about is the idea that like China was sending fake ballots, that the machines
were printing fake things or anything like that. I think the Democrats outplayed the Republicans
heavily exploiting COVID. And that's what got Biden these votes. And I've seen people do it
when Trump starts drifting into that, which people don't understand. And he's like,
oh, it's all rigged, it's all...
He's talking about the past.
He's not talking about what you can expect from him.
He's not telling the people what he's going to give you if you vote for him.
And I think that's what they want to get if they want to push him in that direction,
because it hurts him in the polls.
Yeah.
They spent the first 25 minutes really just talking about his character.
It wasn't anything other...
Anything that really affects the people other than his character. And they't anything other, anything that really affects the people
other than his character.
And they spent the first 25 minutes on that.
They just ran a commercial for the town hall
that's airing right now.
While we're watching it.
While we were watching it,
I just like, wait, what's going on?
Just in case you were wondering
what's going on today.
I thought it was back.
I was like, oh, is it back?
No, it's a commercial for an hour ago.
It might be just online only though.
I bet on TV they're not doing it.
No, it is on TV.
Yeah.
So I just want
to say man when donald trump came out and said we are going to start ballot harvesting ballot
chasing that gave me hope because it's like ah he understands what they did they wrote an article
explaining what they did people went to nursing homes and they and this is all legal this is
legally done and they said fill out your ballot do this give it to me sign me up as your caretaker
i'll drop it off for you.
And there was this guy, I can't remember what state it was, it might have been Pennsylvania,
where he was like, it's legal.
You're allowed to do it.
You are allowed to go to nursing homes.
Republicans just did not do it.
Democrats out ground game them.
I think they're about to come back on here.
Well, I don't know if that's, we'll assume momentarily.
I think that's been a true of the Democratic Party for some time.
They are good at working on the ground to get what they want. I think what bothers me about this whole thing is that the mainstream media opinion writers already have submitted their pieces talking about how great Caitlyn is doing tonight. They will be out by midnight.
Here we go. We're back. We're back. Presidential Town Hall with former President Trump. President Trump, you, we have a lot more voters questions I should note in here in New Hampshire to get to.
But I also want to talk about some of the other investigations that you're facing.
We talked about others at the top.
But one of those is the special counsel's investigation into classified documents that were found at Mar-a-Lago.
Why did you take those documents with you when you left the White House?
I had every right to under the Presidential Records Act.
You have the Presidential Records Act.
I was there and I took what I took
and it gets declassified. Biden, on the other hand, he has eighteen hundred and fifty boxes.
He had boxes sent to Chinatown, Chinatown, where they don't speak even English in that Chinatown
we're talking about. I got to stop you right there. No, you don't. Shut up. Just so you
understand, I had every right to do it. I didn't make a secret of it. You know, the boxes were stationed outside of the White House.
People were taking pictures of the GSA and the various people.
I've got to stop you right there, though, because the Presidential Records Act,
which is not well known to a lot of people, I read it.
It does not say that you can take documents with you.
It says actually that they are the property that the federal government would be using.
It says you talk, you negotiate, you make a deal.
It's not criminal, by the way.
It does not say that you can negotiate.
The Presidential Records Act is not criminal.
It does not say you can negotiate to take the documents with you.
Can I tell you? Just so you understand, the Presidential Records Act is not criminal.
I took the documents. I'm allowed to.
You know who else took them? Obama took them. Nixon took them.
Obama did not take documents.
Yes, he did. Obama did take documents.
Hillary took the furniture.
The National Archives says that President. Obama did take documents. Hillary took the furniture. The National Archive
says that President Obama did not take documents.
Even Mike Pence had some documents,
and he's a very honorable guy. You referenced Pence, you referenced Biden.
But you know who took them more than anybody is Joe Biden.
He has 1,800
boxes, and nobody
even knows where they are.
Obama did take records.
They were brought somewhere,
and the media argued it was totally fine and legal the way he did it.
I think it's important, Mr. President, to actually set the record straight here.
They took documents, including Vice President Pence.
When they realized they had documents, they turned them back over.
The difference is that you waited to turn yours over.
And it was a year and a half effort that included a subpoena with those documents.
One question about what happened when you had those documents.
It included a raid on my house. That's
what it included. They didn't raid. You'd gotten a subpoena and they had not been turned over yet.
They didn't raid Biden's house. You know what happened? They put him in the house. That's the
one with the Corvette where the documents were laying all over the floor. That was fine. You can
see the garage. Secret service. And they're phenomenal. I have secret service. He didn't
have secret service. The other thing, the vice president cannot declassify. He didn't have the Mr. President, that's not what it says, Mr. President.
Mr. President. And NARA has red flags for the Constitution of the
United States and the Bill of Rights because they consider them dangerous documents. Mr. President,
that's not what it says, and I should note that there is a special counsel investigating your
document situation, also President Biden's document situation. When it comes to your documents,
did you ever show those classified documents to anyone? Not really. I would have the right to.
By the way, they were declassified
after night. Not that I can think of. Let me just tell you, I have the absolute right to do whatever
I want with them. I have the right. I was negotiating with NARA. Do you know what NARA is?
The National Archives. Extremely, extremely left group of people. And I was negotiating with them.
All of a sudden they raided my house. They didn't raid the house of Joe Biden.
They didn't raid Obama.
Joe Biden didn't ignore a subpoena
to get those documents back like you did.
And so that's the question.
But that's the question that the investigators have,
I think, is why you called on him to these documents
when you knew the federal government was taking them
and then had given you a subpoena to return them.
Are you ready? Can I talk?
Yeah, what's the answer?
Can I do you mind? I would like for you to answer the question.
Okay, it's very simple to answer. That's why I asked it.
It's very simple. You're a nasty person, I'll tell you.
Sounds good.
You know why you held on to the documents?
I was negotiating and we were talking to NARA.
That's Washington. How tall is Trump?
He's in heels, though.
They can have whatever they want., whatever I see. Yeah.
When we left Washington, we had the boxes lined up on the sidewalk outside for everybody.
People are taking pictures of everybody knew we were taking those boxes.
And the GSA, the government service, the GSA was the one taking them.
They brought them down to Mar-a-Lago. We were negotiating with NARA.
All of a sudden they raid our house.
When Biden had his documents, he won't give back the 1,850 boxes.
And you're going to find some real gems in there.
But it was Biden who alerted them that he had the documents.
The National Archives reached out to you to get your documents back. Why is she arguing with him?
Why did you not turn him over when you got a speech?
I don't understand why this is even a topic.
We were negotiating with him as per the Presidential Records Act. talking about this. I don't understand why this is even a topic. Also, she keeps cutting him off
and saying, we've got to take questions from the audience.
We were negotiating with NARA.
That's not hard.
But they've got to love our Constitution
a little bit more.
They shouldn't red flag it, by the way.
Very nice people. We were negotiating with NARA.
And that's what the presidential
record check says, because Richard Nixon,
surprisingly, had problems. And he had a lot of problems dealing with NARA.
And they ended up passing legislation called the Presidential Records Act just for this kind of a thing.
We were dealing with them. We were talking to them.
We would have done it. But all of a sudden they raided the House.
Now, why haven't why hasn't the FBI raided Biden?
But I just explained to you why.
It's because they alerted the government that they had those documents and had them come and get the documents from his house.
My question for you, though, when it comes to documents, do you still have any classified documents in your possession?
Are you ready?
Do you?
No, no, I don't have anything.
I have no classified documents.
And by the way, they become automatically declassified when I took them.
But why declassify? Let me ask you. No, you don't. Why is it that Biden had nine boxes?
Why all the time? She knows what she's talking about. There's no process by which the president feels it a form to classify anything.
She is a legal scholar.
She majored in journalism at University of Alabama. She is a legal scholar. Why don't they put him in charge of that?
I need to stop you right there because there's no evidence of what you just said there.
What you're referring to there is an office that he had after leaving the vice presidency.
He had a temporary office.
But I want to ask about another investigation that you're facing.
I do know the subject and I do know the facts, Mr. President. But he also had nine boxes of investigation that you're facing. I don't know the subject. I do know the subject, and I do know the facts, Mr. President.
But he also had nine boxes of gin and town.
I want to move on to the investigation that you're facing, which is the one that's happening in Georgia,
where they are investigating your efforts to overturn the election results in the state of Georgia.
I did nothing wrong. It was a perfect phone call.
Let me finish my question.
At the center of that is that call that you had with the Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger.
Yeah, sure.
Given the fact that there
are indictments expected to come in that case this summer, is that a call you would make again today?
Yeah, I called questioning the election. I thought it was a rigged election. I thought
I'd had a lot of problems. I had every, I guess he's secretary of state. I called,
listen to this. There are like seven lawyers on the call. Many of them from there were having
a call. We're having a normal call. Nobody said, oh, gee, he shouldn't have said that.
Why? If this call was bad, I question the election.
You asked this call was bad. I didn't ask him to find anything.
Let me just say the audio. If this call was bad, you asking him to back to him and not truthful.
Oh, me votes because the election was rigged. That election was rigged. And if this call was bad, why didn't him and his lawyers hang up? How dare you say that? This was a person. They were clearly concerned enough. They recorded the call. And I should note that this was a call that was made to question the results of election. And we have. And when we can't make a call to question election results then this country ought to just forget about it
You weren't just questioning
I disagree with Trump
You have to be able to
False claims you're making about what happened in Georgia
Jordan Sullivan shouldn't have been answering the question at all. He's an unclared voter from Hollis.
He voted for you in 2020.
That was probably the best way he could.
Jordan, what is your question for President Trump tonight?
Here's our fifth New Hampshire voter.
Thank you, Mr. Trump.
Thank you very much.
I'm 26.
I'm a veteran.
I help manage a private aviation company.
You want a job?
I'd love one, yeah.
I'm looking for somebody very good.
I'm not for mandates or government interference in private business, but I've seen Republicans
going after us, like De the Santas after Disney.
Right. What would you do as president to protect us from government interference?
Well, I'm the one that really wants to protect you. All of these fake investigations of me are about election interference.
They think because I'm leading Biden by 11 points, seven points, nine points.
I'm leading the sanctimonious by a lot, by 40 points or 45 points.
I think you ought to just relax and take it easy and think about the future, because right now his future is not looking so good.
I will tell you this. We are really putting it to Biden, but he's putting it to himself because the economy stinks.
Inflation is horrible and the border is a disaster. And by the way, the way he got out of
Afghanistan was the single most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
It was bad. It was really bad. It was really bad. But de-sanctimonious? Come on.
While we impart the voters here in New Hampshire, this is a fundamental question for you. You are
running in the 2024 race. If you are the Republican nominee and you are in that 2024 race, will you commit tonight to accepting the results of the 2024 election?
Yeah, if I think it's an honest election, absolutely.
I would.
Will you commit to accepting the results of the election regardless of the outcome?
Do you want me to answer it again?
If I think it's an honest election, I would be honored to.
And right now we are so far ahead of both Democrat and Republican.
And you know what? If I don't win, this country is going to be in big trouble.
It's so sad to see what's happening.
But no commitment there on the accepting the results, regardless of the outcome.
If it's an honest election. Correct.
OK, so not committing to accepting the 2020 election results.
Acknowledging what happened in 2020.
President Trump, I want to thank you for coming here tonight.
This is an important conversation with voters to hear and to have.
Thank you to our audience and to our host, St. Anselm Collins.
CNN's coverage continues with Anderson, Kirkland, and Jake Tapper.
It certainly does not continue with us.
I don't want to hear what those people have to say.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, man. Jake Tapper.
He's a cool guy.
Jake Tapper's so awesome.
The reason why she keeps going back to the election fraud stuff is because it polls very
poorly with independent voters.
That's where they need to strike.
Donald Trump succeeded in 2016 by switching 9 million moderate-leaning Democrats to the
Republican Party.
Every time they get Trump to say, it's rigged, it's rigged, it's rigged, he is losing votes.
And that's why they're doing it.
That's why in the beginning of the show, they went after him over and over and over again.
And it is a large reason why I'm telling people and I beg people, please stop.
Like, whatever it is you think, the Democrats had a tremendous ground game. Okay, they were able to
find the votes. And you've got to counter it Scott Pressler style. And you need to back off from it.
If you want to win the moderates over in this diehard Trump supporters are falling into this
trap. And CNN just showed you exactly how they do it. They know that Trump's biggest fans and
biggest supporters are going to reject any notion that the election was anything that they know that
if they come out and say it wasn't fraud,
Trump supporters are going to come out and say, yes, it was.
And they're going to get him to say it over and over and over again
to make as many soundbites as possible.
And I would not be surprised if the next time they have a show,
they're going to be like, how many times did Trump say rigged?
And they're going to play it on repeat.
And they're going to put it in the face of as many independents as possible.
Instead of showing Trump saying things like, we need people to stop dying,
which was a grand slam. That's why I like guys talk about the few i think who said talk about the future stop talking about the past yeah right do you think that when it comes time for the
republican primary the other republicans will continue to bring this up because they know it
hurts trump absolutely yeah i wouldn't be surprised if ronda sanders comes out and says
you know democrats they got universal mail- voting. They were they were changing voting laws in their states. In some instances, like Pennsylvania, the Republicans were involved that things like voter in the park. And there are videos where state reps and judges are like, you are allowed to ballot harvest in the state. I think there's only there's only a handful of states that actually explicitly ban it. It's illegal in many forms in many states, usually with some restrictions where, like,
you can only carry three at a time.
And then you'll see videos like James O'Keefe had.
Bill Barr said there was some fraud.
She said there was none.
She's wrong.
Bill Barr said there was some, but not nearly enough.
There's always a little bit.
There were a bunch of federal prosecutions over voter fraud, sure.
But I don't think it was in the tens of millions or significant enough to have as big of an
impact as people want i think what people are thinking of when they say rigged
is that democrats change the rules anyway i don't even want to get get wrapped up in this
they changed the rules but sometimes they didn't abide by the rules at all like in in pennsylvania
they did things that were actually illegal for them to do and they didn't have the authority to
do it um changing the changing the laws on uh the universal mail-in vote like well so a judge so here's the issue the lower court said
you can't change this law without going to a newspaper and getting a constitutional amendment
and then everyone was like wow the lower courts are agreeing with the republicans the problem is
the republicans actually worked with the democrats to pass that law so when it went to the supreme
court they were like no this was done by both parties.
And now one party is coming out after the fact.
So I think it's all partisan.
I think when you look at what's going on in New York,
you can see it's pure tribalism.
But I think you can just see very obviously
why CNN kept asking that question.
They want the soundbite because it hurts Republicans.
And when I hear him say that over and over again, and he won't let it go, and they know they soundbite because it hurts republicans and when i hear him say that
over and over again and he won't let it go and they know they can get him on it i'm like i see
desantis going up and i and i like trump's answer on the war i think it's important but let's let's
let's do this we're going to jump to this story maybe uh maybe the last story before we go to
super chats ladies and gentlemen we made the news in trump's trial a secret fight over a juror's right wing
news source i love this because this proves to all of you it's a cult check it out they say
eugene carroll's lawyers tried to exclude the man who listened to podcasts by the provocateur
tim pool he remained on the jury that found the ex-president liable.
Provocateur is a great word.
Provocateur.
I like that.
What do I do?
They call Milo Yiannopoulos a provocateur.
Well, he goes out, he gives speeches.
Do I ever leave this building?
Do I make phone calls to anybody?
Do I contact members of Congress?
Or do I just sit here and have conversations with people?
The beauty is very provocative.
It is.
I have to say.
And evocative
both of those both positives take a look at this the juror was a 31 year old man who said he lived
in the bronx for all his life during jury selection he said uh that he tended to avoid news but listen
to independent podcasts every now and then and listed listed one example the original transcript
inaccurately captured the podcast title as Temple.
But lawyers for Miss Carol, the writer who filed the lawsuit, according to accusing Mr.
Trump of rape, later learned through news reports that the anonymous juror identified
only as juror 77 had actually said he listens to Tim Pool.
Here's the best part.
You guys ready for this?
Mr. Pool's YouTube channel includes dozens of recordings that push hard right views.
His podcast, which has been criticized as a vector for conspiracy theories, is called The Culture War.
Well, hold on there a minute.
The Culture War is a new show that hasn't been accused of anything.
It's never been in the news.
It's only been around for about two months.
11 episodes.
That's fake news and i i wonder if that's actually defamatory in
that you could argue things about tim cast irl the show y'all are watching now because it's been
around for years and has been in the news several times but the culture war hasn't been no the
culture war podcast hasn't been covered by anyone and i'm surprised they even found it you know what
they did they searched for tim pool podcast and found the Culture War podcast with Tim Pool,
which is a new show,
which has very little viewership relative to this show
or even Timcast News.
It's a vector.
A vector.
That's why they said dozens of recordings.
Like IRL has a bit more than dozens.
Yeah, I think IRL has like 2000 or something like that.
And then the Culture war has like 25
and the morning videos that you do i mean you put out a dozen morning videos five videos a day
right on timcast news and there's like 3 000 videos also they don't even mention that you
like worked for vice like you're such a lefty and so many other issues they're like this far right
guy yeah you you would imagine new york times would do a little bit more research and
have figured that out i know you wouldn't i will take us out it says during the confidential
questioning juror 77 said that mr pool quote is like middle adding that the podcaster gets
different political figures or just celebrities like that on the left on the right juror 77 also
described the podcast as balanced do you know why yeah he watched this show probably
because we had like a run-of-the-mill celebrity on the show one time right this is a guy who
apparently said that he only he's only seen a few episodes and it may be because we've had
musicians we've had people like ethan supley supley on the show an actor and we just we just
talked about you know moderate political issues we have had people who are totally apolitical who
struggle to even talk but we've had scientists doctors but they don't know anything about it this is the first show that
i've ever watched of yours yeah so the one you're on yeah the one i'm on there you go welcome he
said that he'd been doing doubles at work and listen to listen to mr pool's show three or four
times in the past six months said he never had heard of miss carol and was confident he could be fair to both sides here's a guy who actually said trump is liable for sexual abuse not rape after almost
30 years that's amazing and they're like that's a fan of tim pool who should be removed from the
jury here's what they said look at this a lawyer from miss carol said that the juror appeared to get his news from a single really virulently extremist podcast it's amazing but i can sit
here being like trump is wrong about the fraud narrative and i'm pro-choice and they're like
he's an extremist but you see what they're trying to do two things they they want to create a a
bifurcation between me and regular people because they don't want regular people to hear honest commentary from honest people. And well, I mean, I'll leave it at that.
That's that's basically it to defame and to push people away. So those are the two things, I guess.
So he wasn't dismissed.
No. And then he actually sided with them.
Right. And what's what's the story here, then?
I don't know.
Why is it? I'm curious why this is actually a story why is it that they they ran that story about the allen texas shooter
yeah who posted four clips of me and then in the same week they're like a right-wing extremist news
source there's no news here the guy said he listened to the show three or four times and
that was the end of it they didn't dismiss him and then he sided with them why is the new york times politico the daily beast whoever
else they're all writing this up because they're afraid of you i mean i think it's because you take
their audience and also you actually do have a lot of moderate view unlike both mainstream fox news
and all the mainstream left-wing publications like that's just's just how it is. That's got to be it.
Because there's no other reason to say, oh, did you know there was a juror that wasn't
dismissed, but he admitted that he watched this show four times?
And people are like, people who weren't aware of you or IRL already have heard your name
probably because of the Allen Texas stuff.
So New York Times is jumping on this bandwagon that I think they often look to.
I mean, because it's not the first time you've trended.
I think people want this show to be something more extreme so they can shun it.
They want you to have, every time they Google your name, they want far right extremist, terrible person to come up.
But it doesn't work.
It doesn't work because you do this show every night and prove them wrong.
They definitely turned Bandcamp off to you.
Well, Bandcamp spreading defamation or something like that, but
there's a cult.
They're extremists. And the people who watch
this show probably already agree with me
when we say these people are in a cult.
Because you can have a leftist
like Lance from the Serfs on this show
overtly say he's pro-abortion
at any time, for any period, for any
reason. Matt Binder, a leftist,
say the exact same thing sitting
next to seamus coglin a catholic conservative pro-lifer who wants abortion banned outright
and me saying well i think there should be some restrictions but maybe only after viability which
is the middle and the person on the left says you're all far right like if my opinion and and you know is the average opinion based on polling
then what are they talking about they're just lying that's what they do they lie and i'm i'm
i'm part of partly grateful because this makes it easy to prove they're lying that's it is there
is there anybody else that has as many diverse people on their podcast as you do?
I mean, there's very few.
Well, I think Patrick Bet-David has way more people across the spectrum.
What they really want to do is silence everybody, not just you, but silence everybody that you would ever have on and make sure they can put those people into a box.
Right.
Because CNN's never going to have those people on a box right and because you know cnn's never going
to have those people on fox news won't have them on either fox news won't have people on who they're
afraid of are associated with people even if that person has never done it two layers deep yeah be
like yeah you will you you went to this one party with this guy you know like whatever i think this
is actually politico wrote up an even bigger story saying there was inferred bias or whatever.
Tim Pool, a far right pro-Trump commentator who has aligned himself with figures like Steve Bannon.
What does that even mean, aligned himself with people like Steve Bannon?
It means you talked to him one time and you didn't scream in his face.
But on the show, the members only show, we argued about the fraud narrative and I told him to his face he was wrong.
And I said Trump was un-elected.
He was anti-elected.
People voted against him.
And we went in this long thing and he was like, well, that's an interesting point.
And I think he's been on the show twice.
What is this?
You're not allowed to platform it at all.
You're not allowed to talk to people.
No, no talking to other people.
It's the association game.
Associate him with someone that most people dislike.
So make those associations and we can then create a box around these people who make commentary with some sense.
Exactly.
When I think of you, the first thing I think of is not he's pro-Trump.
Most people don't.
Yeah. the first thing i think of is not he's pro-trump now most people don't yeah like now me most i
think it's fair if somebody says that they think of me as pro-trump because like all i did was
make memes about trump but but for them to call you the pro-trump extremist is just hilarious
it it doesn't it doesn't fit at all they're debunking themselves especially when we have
like luke ridkowski on this show for like seven months at a time.
And people say he has Trump derangement syndrome.
Or Ian Crossland, who says some of like the craziest leftist stuff half the time and then rolls 20s the other half.
Like it's, you know, look, for legal reasons, I'll say this is besmirching my good name.
And I am concerned about reputational damage, which we'll be pursuing.
But part of me is like,
okay, dude, make me more famous.
My name's all over the press now
and people are wondering what this is all about.
I love New York Times writing about the culture war.
Great, we need to press.
That's because you weren't going to get in there
if it wasn't bad press,
which all press is good press.
I mean, I don't even know if it's even bad press.
We'll see.
We'll see.
I don't know.
And they always tell you, like, you get into a car accident,
don't say you're fine because you don't actually know what injuries you might have.
And there's so many stories where someone gets, like, T-boned and then, like,
well, I feel okay.
I think we're good.
And then a year later, like, actually in that accident, you chipped a bone
and now you need, like, a $10,000 surgery or $100,000 surgery.
So it's like, you know, we'll see. We'll see maybe, you know, but, uh, we sponsor ourselves.
We're building our own companies. We, we are member supported. I'm not worried about companies
dropping us in terms of sponsorships. I'm not, I'm not worried about it at all. And now with
Twitter rumble competing with YouTube, I'm not worried about YouTube either. There's nothing
they can do. They've lost the, the, the, the things they've said. Like when Keith Olbermann's tweeting at
me and like this, this Alan Texas thing comes up, I'm like, literally don't care what these
people think at all. There is no concern. I have none. We have built infrastructure.
We are building infrastructure. Rumble is building infrastructure. Elon Musk is building
infrastructure. What do we have to be worried about at this point say whatever stupid garbage fine we'll sue you if it's defamatory and you'll lose true and it has no
impact did keith come out of retirement to attack you he retired he's retiring for he's retired like
four times from twitter ah wow he retires a lot i guess let's uh let's do one more uh one more story let's uh where are we at here we go
this one's big ladies and gentlemen bud lights hangover from hell sales figures for america's
once favorite beer reveal how every region in the u.s has turned its back since the dylan
mulvaney tie up check this out in every region bud light sales are plunging so in in the east
north central is that what they called it
east north central which is like illinois indiana ohio and wisconsin michigan 23.5 percent i in the
east south central it's 25 percent in west north central 25 in mount in the mountain region it's
negative 29%. Everywhere.
Wow.
I saw this story earlier today that gay bars in Chicago aren't buying Bud Light.
They're boycotting it. Because they're also boycotting because the brand didn't stand behind Dylan Mulvaney enough.
Like, they can't win.
They have really shot themselves in both feet.
They're getting hit from both sides on that.
Exactly.
Oh, my gosh.
This is great.
We're winning.
So, you know, those that uh didn't hear
we were talking about the last in the previous segment just about how the new york times and
politico are smearing my good name and lying about this show i don't know how much it matters
they have no influence anymore i i go out and people smile and wave shake my hand i can take
pictures with me people who watch the show,
and these are urban centers.
This is what I think they're really afraid of.
They were in New York City
and an urban liberal New York City guy says,
oh yeah, I listen to Tim Pool's podcast.
And they're like, oh crap.
Yeah.
We're losing urban liberals.
That's a problem.
Well, and they'll be losing liberals in New York City
way faster if they don't get it
turned around soon because new york city is just absolute garbage yeah well this is what i'm saying
everybody with this story about bud light losing again and again and again it's been over a month
it was april 1st that dylan mulvaney did this uh. And now, May 10th,
Anheuser-Busch is still spiraling because of this.
So keep it up.
I think we're winning.
I think that the Bud Light decision
right next to firing Tucker
is probably one of the dumbest business decisions
anybody has ever made.
Well, they tried claiming it was a third-party company
that did it. And they're like, oh, we don't know. It it was a third party company that did it
and they're like oh we don't know it's a third party company that's not even better that did it
yeah but apparently what uh there was one writer for the washington post who said
that bud light is a cash cow that's never going to grow it is it is basically generic at this point
it is so ubiquitous it's just synonymous with beer take the money accept it but they bring
in some young vp of marketing was like i'm gonna grow this brand tries to find a new demographic
and then nukes it into oblivion she wanted to to shed the freddie image she said on one podcast
it's interesting the demographic that they chose and i'm just talking about the age
15 year olds i've heard uh heard Ian talk about that a lot.
It's just like, if you look at the actual age group,
like what exactly were they after there?
And have they said anything about that?
Teens, you know?
No, they're not going to.
I mean, that's the thing.
It reminds me of,
didn't cigarette companies get in trouble at one point?
Cause they were advertising like
on children's toys or whatever.
Well, no, they had the camel,
Joe Camel was a cartoon. Oh, Joe Camel, and it was too nice. Yeah. advertising like on children's toys or whatever well no they had the camel joe camel was oh joe
camel and it was too nice yeah uh and then they had to modify their branding i think with bud
light they didn't think about the audience uh in the consequences they only thought we can capture
young drinkers maybe they aren't drinking maybe when they go to drink they will start drinking
bud light they didn't think about the fact that it's completely inappropriate for a lot of reasons. And they
only put themselves and their own ideology first. I thought it was funny. This Washington Post
writer said the confusing thing about the campaign was Dylan Mulvaney's faux Audrey Hepburn act like
caters to no one. It's like Dylan Mulvaney's audience are all under 21. So they're not buying
beer. And then the rest of the audience is over 50 and they're drinking wine.
So what was Bud Light thinking?
And then Bud Light, of course, like, no, no, no, it was a third party.
So now here's the best part.
Yeah, you mentioned, I think it's up to six gay bars.
Yeah.
Five or six in Chicago are boycotting Anheuser-Busch outright because Anheuser-Busch won't give
them political influence now think
about that the right just says leave us alone the left says give us what we want or else
stop pandering to these people they're going to make your life miserable but you know what we're
winning so no not not to play devil's advocate advocate but uh how is the rest of anheuser-busch
doing hi i'm richard karn and you may have seen me on TV talking about the world's number one expandable garden hose. Well, the brand new Pocket Hose

Overall, globally, Anheuser-Busch,
I think they said it was like around 1% decline
in general sales.
But we're talking about American cultural influence.
If Anheuser-Busch says we were abandoning US markets
with Bud Light because it's a failed brand,
we won.
Yeah.
I think we won already at this point. No Clydesdale is going to save U.S. markets with Bud Light because it's a failed brand. We won. Yeah. I think we won already at this point.
No Clydesdale is going to save it.
Yes.
That was such a tone deaf response too.
It'll be a donkey in a dress.
Wasn't that what set Rogan off?
Was the Clydesdale the pandering?
Yeah.
But here's a story we have from Timcast News.
Bud Light boycott is spreading to other Anheuser-Busch brands.
Company may be in a no-win situation as gay bars are ditching Anheuser-Busch beer.
See, what's happened now is because these gay bars are upset with Anheuser-Busch as a brand,
it's not even about Bud Light to them.
It's about all of the brands they do sell.
And conservatives too, right?
They were all like, I saw all these graphics of like, don't drink Modelo.
Here are the other ones, just so you i mean because it's like biv or
something like that in bev or something in bev yeah and it's a bummer because modelo is actually
pretty good yeah i think surge was mourning that loss yep i am sad about that but it is interesting
that it was a boycott that was effective partially because people were already aware of what else was
under the umbrella right like if you boycotted I don't know, a shoe company, right?
If they own four other shoe companies, you're not really hurting them.
Whereas people were able to identify, oh, these are all Bud Light.
Wow, look at this.
So we know that Miller and Coors are way up, like 20%, right?
St. Louis Business Journal says Budweiser is down 11.4.
That's not Bud Light, that's Budweiser.
Michelob Ultra down 4.4, Bush Light 1.8, and Natty down 11.4. That's not Bud Light. That's Budweiser. Michelob Ultra down 4.4.
Bush Light, 1.8. And Natty
Light, 5.2. So it
is hitting their other brands.
So hey,
good job, everybody.
This warrants a round of drinks. Does anybody
have any... Oh, wait. It was funny when
Lance from the surface here, he brought a Bud Light Tallboy.
And he waited till the after
shot. I was like, bro, why don't you crack that thing open on the show like it was funny
so he's not willing to commit to the bet he's sort of in the boycott yeah he don't want everybody to
see that he had a bud light he don't want anyone to think that he was effeminate or anything like
this how long do you think the boycott will last i think they're done i think i i'm seeing people
online there was one story in newsweek where a couple got attacked and they say it was because they were buying bud light and the person like they had to fight over
it or something like that i'm like they're attacked at a liquor store yeah because somebody started
making fun of them over buying bud light and then they started yelling at each other
but uh alcohol was involved bud light brand is everything and bud light is synonymous with being
a homosexual i am not saying that to be mean or funny or derisive.
I am saying that as a fact marketing statement.
That if you, because of Dylan Mulvaney's notoriety and the backlash, it is now perceivably associating you with being a homosexual.
There was a video where a cast cast members on the
book of mormon crack beers in like time square or something and say hey dylan like thank you so much
but but but like when they drink it and i'm like that was the last thing bud light wanted to happen
because they're hammering the nail into the coffin that if you drink bud light you are likely an
effeminate homosexual man you're homosexual but you're not enough of an ally.
That's why the gay buyers won't buy your beer.
But I'm not sure that matters.
I mean, look, if you're some like 38-year-old dude,
40-year-old dude at a ball game,
do you want to be the one person?
There's a viral video from Fenway Park where nobody would buy Bud Light.
Because do you want to walk up to a chick and be like,
hey, want a Bud Light?
And she'll be like, are you gay?
No, no.
And again, I'm not saying to be derisive.
I'm saying the brand has associated itself with that.
Because of the hyper-partisan nature of the sales of this beer,
you will be perceived as being a supporter of LGBT groups
as left-wing or as a gay man yourself if you're drinking the beer.
There's a political association now with it.
I feel like the only real save for them is to simply be honest, be honest with what the
whole tactic was and maybe issue an apology.
But it kind of feels like after you were saying that, it just made me feel like, well, a tactic
that you could potentially imagine is now you could say that you're discriminating. And if you boycott and
discriminate against Bud Light, you are this. You are homophobic. You're transphobic. You're
white supremacist. Bud Light does not want that because that just pushes them to one market.
It may now be the case that Bud Light's only opportunity is to pander to the left.
But then they lose all their market share because they have to double down.
If they came out right away and just said, we're really sorry about this campaign.
We didn't realize it would be so divisive.
Please accept our apologies.
And they just did that.
I'd imagine sales would have recovered right away.
But I'm telling you, I've been in these corporate executive offices during PR crises.
And I know exactly what these people say.
They say, listen, the people who buy your products are dumb as a box of rocks.
They'll forget all about it.
Just shut your mouth.
PR 101, do not add fuel to the fire.
And Bud Light, Budweiser, and Azarboy said, okay, and they ignored it, and it festered
and got worse.
Then someone said, okay, well, we got to do something now.
Then they put out that Clydesdale commercial, which just made everything worse.
They refuse to apologize.
And they don't realize the people who drink their beer, people these days, they're networked.
We're hooked in.
We're not forgetting about this.
And now it's gotten to the point where someone mentioned on Twitter, Babylon B wrote a joke.
It said, guys drinking Cosmos at bar make fun of dude drinking bud light or something like that yeah that's the perception of you when you go to a bar and buy a bud light that you are like an effeminate man
or gay or something yeah and guys they don't want to they don't want to be perceived that way
especially when they're trying to pick up chicks could you imagine being at a bar and then being
like oh there's some beautiful men over there i'm'm not going to get a Bud Light. Give me an Old English.
Give me a Guinness.
I need a Yingling staff.
Yeah.
I want to look strong.
You get a Yingling and go, hey, ladies, did you know that Yingling is the oldest brew in America?
And they're like, oh, wow, that's so impressive.
Your knowledge has impressed me so much.
Would you like to join us?
And you're like, that's right.
But if you walk over with a Bud Light, they're going to be like, I always wanted a gay best friend.
And you're going to be like, oh, no, no, no, no.
Those are the two choices.
I am curious to see what happens with the people working at Bud Light, because obviously if they have a downturn in business, I can only assume that layoffs come.
I also imagine that the people who actually work in their factories or their breweries or whatever, they didn't get consulted for this move and now their livelihoods are at risk
because of one Harvard grad marketing executive
and that seems pretty terrible to me.
Yeah, we're gonna...
I was just gonna say like,
what officially happened with the CEO?
Let go?
Of what?
They're all on leave.
Two marketing people were placed on leave.
That's what it was.

Let's read.
Voice of the People says,
Tim, Google E. Jean Carroll, juror 77
and read the political article.
They tried to get rid of that juror
because he listens to you.
Robert Gouveia covered that today.
You should bring him on sometime.
Spoke with him before.
We don't know who the juror is,
but he's clearly not a supporter of Trump.
Or do they mean Robert Gavea?
That's what they want on.
Right.
I know.
Okay.
I'm saying as for this individual, this juror, we don't know who he is.
And I look, I'll say I don't know what evidence he saw in trial that made him think Trump
was liable for this, but it seems insane to me.
I think the reality is it was probably like uh what was that what
was that movie where they're all the jurors are in the in the room and the one guy's they're like
he's all 12 angry men 12 angry men yeah it was like that the one guy's like i don't know man i
watch timcast i'm a reasonable person i think trump's not liable and then they just like you
feel like it had to be like a technicality like like the like the law was written in such a way that there was no way to not
convict like that they didn't yeah yeah it had to be a really really poorly written yeah he didn't
get convicted of sexual abuse he got convicted of being liable for sexual right right and they said
if you think that trump was physically present then he's responsible or something but you know
what i'm just gonna say this there is no way donald trump walked into the bergdorf
without people being like mr trump oh and people being like oh is it donald it's donald trump oh
man wow it's like dude so so i like to hang out at like mgm national harbor or maryland live or
whatever and every single time people are like hey tim pool man fist bump i'm like hey nice to
meet you what was your name jim nice to meet you man appreciate it non-stop and i am nothing compared to i am i am an ant i am a
zit on the ass of mosquito compared to donald trump even in the 90s we're talking about one
of the most famous people in the world with his name on a building and you think he's gonna walk
into the burgdorf and nobody noticed yeah nobody noticed he was there incredible i liked his and i
own the plaza across the street and he's walking around with no
security no no donald trump isn't even walking around he's getting in cars he has security
detail people are opening the door for him so when he walks into the bergdorf with like 10 staff
members he's like where's the lady her oh ma'am come this way staff follow me we're going to the
dressing room get out of here this is insane right absolutely ridiculous story yeah all right matt h says
seriously tim check out humankind it's better than civilization i'll take a look yeah i've
heard this good coldy locks production says tim i gotta call you out nazi germany was not fascist
that was italy they were national socialist fascism national socialist communist and marxist
all fall under left-wing socialism learn history history. Watch Tiki History to learn more about this.
I understand the, I've read about the National Socialist policies.
So basically, there's many ways you can bring it down.
National Socialism was not, people will call themselves things that they're not.
Antifa says that they're anti-fascist when they're like authoritarian psychopaths. So I guess you can argue that Antifa, the original anti-fascist action was the militant
wing of the Communist Party in Weimar, Germany. So I get that. But the thing about national
socialists, fascists, et cetera, is that these were considered the right because they were
traditionalist and the communists were ultra progressive. The communists wanted to purge
history. The right, the various factions wanted to purge history the the right the various factions wanted
to preserve tradition and history and that was the principal difference between two overtly
authoritarian factions which went on to brutally murder millions of people yeah what are the
communists murder 100 million or something 100 million a lot of people yeah that's crazy also
t.i.k history is cool it's good but good page is it oh is it t.i.k history history yeah t.i.k
history yeah it's good good information let's read some more boosted yogi says from what i'm
understanding she filed the lawsuit the day after it was signed into law amazing nothing to see here
don't ask any questions totally legitimate bertman asks how come leftists aren't boycotting CNN
for platforming Trump?
Bertman, you're supposed to be a writer
over here at TimCast,
and they are.
There were people at CNN.
There was a CNN commentator,
contractor,
actually wrote a statement,
published Twitter saying,
it is wrong that CNN is doing this.
They should not be platforming this man.
Did they quit their job?
There was a bunch of comments too.
Yeah.
When it was first announced,
there was tons of comments from libs who were just pissed off yep all right where are we at with the super jets let's see what we got there's a jackknife tv says they're going to
try to lead him on she is openly pushing the subject to get him to dive deeper this is reference
to trump talking about january 6th and election. And that's what I'm saying.
CNN, when Trump was like,
we got to talk about election
because our borders
are terrible right now.
And she's like, well,
I want to go back to January 6th
because they want the soundbites.
They want the commercials.
They're doing Democrats a favor
in that I'm sure some Democrat
was like, can you get Trump
to talk for even a few minutes
about January 6th and the election?
Because we are going to chop that thing up a hundred ways and run ads like crazy like don't worry don't worry caitlin
collins goes up there and the guy in her ear is saying ask him again not now ask him again tell
him no and go ask him again and that's why she kept saying the same things over and over again
every every time they have a debate that's where the the moderators start from is a list of
questions that they have to ask
so they can get the sound bite that they want.
And then they ask it in the exact way
that they need to. Look, I feel bad for that
stay-at-home mom. She came in, she asked her
question, a specific question about the troops, which I
thought would have been an interesting answer, and
to be fair, Trump and
sweet, sweet Caitlyn both ignored it.
Caitlyn just introduced five other questions.
Bushdale says Trump hit it out of the park. he talked circles around that moron sharing the stage with him
and nailed answering the crowd questions cnn embarrassed themselves with this one i completely
agree i think he started a little slow i was getting a little frustrated but then he quickly
just swung it out of the park amazing amazing when he was like well i'm not president anymore
that was that was so funny the first big hit it was amazing it was amazing yeah i like what i like when he is succinct and not
not rattled when he was getting rattled you could kind of tell especially when they were
talking about the documents that was just too much talking over one another right and really
that that's that's the moderator's job to try and keep it from getting that way. Right. But I really like the conversation about Ukraine.
And it really made her look like, dude, she answered you, or he answered you very succinctly several ways.
And she kept going back to it.
That's how you can see she's got to try and pull something out of it.
Otherwise, she's not doing her job.
I like this because Trump gives the answers I want to hear. see she she's got to try and pull something out of it otherwise she's not doing her job i i like
this because trump gives the answers i want to hear it's it's like is he perfect no of course
he's not nobody's going to be but when he was talking about abortion and she's like will you
sign an abortion ban politicians will be like well you know abortions are an interesting thing and i
think as an american we have to trump said it depends on what the deal is bring the deal to me we'll negotiate because we have negotiating
power he's like i got roe v wade overturned now we'll bring the deal to the table we'll see what
we get i'm like that's a good answer it's like it's it's absurd that they try and ask these
absolutist questions they know we'll do the only thing that will happen is you will lose support
will you ban abortion outright donald trump trump could just be like well it's more complicated than that probably to
some degree but not absolutely like you got you got to like the answer is not yes or no and even
said he was like look some people say six weeks some people say eight weeks i don't know we'll
see and then she kept asking over and over again what they're going to do is they're going to clip
it up and say trump refused to answer yeah, do you remember in 2016 during the Republican debates,
they kept asking him if he would accept the results of the election and they
asked it over and over and over again.
And he refused to respond.
Yeah.
And that was again,
one of those things where they were going to,
they were going to throw that back at him and the fishing,
all they do is fish.
Right.
Brandon Hampson says,
as a sailor who has been drunken,
we spend atrocious amounts of money when we are half seas over.
Thank goodness we're hearing from the source.
There we go.
Now we know.
I think what it's being like the sailors on leave, right?
Like compare them to all kinds of wild things.
In high school in Singapore,
I saw a lot of sailors on leave doing just that, amount of money because they're they're at port you know
yeah i was in the air force we did the same yeah totally but you guys aren't as gone for as long
as the the uh no we just like the drink okay fair sergeant bucks says caitlin collins is debating
trump so much she may as well announce she's running for president i seriously because the town hall
isn't supposed to be that no she's supposed to say what do you think about x and then have an
answer and then and then once he's done talking you can say so unlike the election thing i would
say mr mr president you've stated x please explain to the audience your views then trump talks then
you can say yes but according to this person in your administration
you were wrong about this how would you respond to that that's what a town hall supposed to be
not no you're wrong you're wrong wrong wrong trump like what are you debating him yeah and
then she kept doing it every time like no i'm sorry that's not true trump you're wrong you
can't say that it's like you you you are not here to debate him on what is right or wrong.
He is here to speak.
Right.
It's crazy.
It's like live fact checking.
It's ridiculous.
I am not a Trump fan.
But the thing that I really appreciated from him was the thing about Ukraine.
When she kept saying, who do you want to win?
It was such an obvious bait thing.
And he actually said it in the exact way that you
would want somebody to be like it's not about winning it really is about people not dying
anymore and she goes trying to bring it back immature i make cnn look so surface level that
they're equating this to winning it made their tactics very obvious and it was it was such a
virtue signal it's like we need to be able to put you in a camp.
So you need to answer this question like I'm asking it,
not the way you're asking it now.
That's why she kept coming back to it.
Yeah.
Desanctimonious.
No, it doesn't work.
Not a fan.
Maybe dismal.
Deswamptous?
Yeah, that's better.
Deswamptous.
I think there has to be a better nickname than that.
DeSwamptus.
He's just called him.
DeSatan?
DeSatan.
DeSatan might be a little too fast.
I honestly think Meatball Ron was the best one.
Yeah, or just call him Ronnie.
Like, make him sound like a little kid.
Yeah.
Lil Ronnie.
I'm not sure DeSanctimonious is my favorite.
Lil Ronnie or Meatball Ron.
Meatball Ron's great.
I mean, I think Ron DeSantis is the best governor this country's had in a very, very long time.
I think he's doing amazing work in Florida.
And I think he'd be a great president.
I'm leaning towards Trump at the current moment.
And I think Trump just did an excellent performance.
I've said this a lot of times, but do you think we maybe just not like get into these two camps already
it's gotta be trump de santa's gotta be trump like de santa's vp also can we just be glad like
ron de santa did lots of cool things let's not eviscerate all of the republicans because you
know you may support trump let's have lots of strong people in in this side of the aisle i've
said it a lot on twitter and i keep getting uh over it, but like I don't have a problem with Trump and I don't have a problem with DeSantis and I'm not sure why we have to have a problem with one or the other.
No, it needs to be Trump-DeSantis 2024.
It's the race to the bottom.
It's the tactic.
It's like, how do I make myself look good?
Well, the tactic is really smear the opponent.
Yeah.
So that's the race.
And I understand why Trump's doing it.
See, that's the thing is I understand why Trump's doing it because that's his job.
His job is to, you know, get all the competition out of the way.
But I'm not sure why it's everyone on Twitter's job to then also get rid of anybody that doesn't currently hold the same position they do.
I guess that's just the nature of Twitter.
They're used to regurgitating the tactic yeah they don't come up with the tactic they
regurgitate the tactic you know raymond g stanley jr says this lady is insufferable she really is
she doesn't have the same like i mean i i get that they're trying and they do need someone
but you look at someone like megan ke Kelly and you know why she became an anchor.
She's got it.
You look at Laura Ingraham and you're like, I get it.
They have punch.
You watch them and you're like, that's a person with X Factor.
Kaylin Constance doesn't have that.
It's like dry, droll, and generic.
And whiny.
Yeah.
The biggest takeaway from tonight for her was
how whiny she was just no no that's not right it's not right no no she needed more poise yeah
she was she wasn't poised you could tell even though she had like good posture and she didn't
really like cringe her face too much you could tell yeah she got upstage she did but it's not about
being upstage i mean you're not supposed to be there to upstage or right there's no i mean but
she has no presence it's like it's like she was an inverse presence like sucking energy instead
of exuding energy totally i think this is something that you'll hear tomorrow a lot which is that
oh the right is attacking her for pushing back on trump and girls have such a hard time because
when they assert themselves,
it says people say they're bossy.
And I think it's important to note
that like she didn't perform well.
It's not about the fact that she's female.
It's about the fact that she did not moderate
this conversation.
She really tried to argue her points.
And in fact, she did not advance this experience for anyone,
including the network she's supposed to represent.
Well, it was her conversation. Yeah. She wasn't advancing anyone else's conversation except and she didn't win
anything she made herself and therefore cnn look bad yeah what do we got here to snalorum says not
making every single liberal who fled a city did mail-in voting to cast a vote and voted locally
in the place they fled to a non i i this
is kind of sentence fragment i'm not sure what what they're saying a non-voting felon for life
is the same same thing as too big to fail argument because it would obliterate the democratic party
they responded to something but i can't tell what it was yeah it's yeah okay i was trying to read
it sorry man i appreciate it but um a non-voting felon for life
is the same exact thing as a too big to fail argument you're implying that if we take away
a felon's right to vote democrats lose that's that's what i can figure out from that i'm not
sure yeah i don't know that's that's interestingly worded yeah uh dansky says Tim I think you're confusing the Texas shooter with the juror
re-4 episodes I am not
in the court documents
they say he watched 3 or 4 episodes
and the shooter posted 4 clips
from 1 episode
so that guy only watched 1 episode
and the media just lies
you know whatever
Sir Alexander Full says
they want to give Tuckerlson your time slot why
he's this is the crazy thing right like i go on joe rogan's show and he and he's talking about
ivermectin i'm like i disagree i don't think it does anything and they're like tim pool is the
poster boy for ivermectin i'm like what are you talking about it's the weirdest thing that they're
like desperate they're like please tim please please be right wing and i'm like i just disagree
with that i just don't
understand and then here i am using the new york times as a source and they're like he must be far
right it's just dude i mean keep doing that you're discrediting yourselves if you're i'll take the
freebies if you're a right wing then you're fox's problem right you're stealing fox's audience but
if you are moderate and you're drawing from both places then you are everybody's problem and that's
what they don't want well that's why they're going after me now
because they're like,
our audience,
like an urban liberal New Yorker in the Bronx
will watch Tim Kess.
But it's like, we got to stop that.
You cannot take the Young Turks audience from them.
Well, you're right.
Don't do it.
You're right because they've already lost it.
Well, and when we went to Congress
and Matt Gaetz was there,
he was saying he'd come out here, he'd done the show and then we went to congress and he was like i was amazed by
how many truck drivers or waitresses or just working people were like oh i saw you on tim
pool that was awesome man like i think people underestimate uh podcasting in general i don't
think they really understand or know how to measure and compare to like these mainstream
established platforms but especially the work that you've done it's it's unique in a way that they are not sure what
to do so they'd rather just crush you new york times i don't even know what the show is yeah
they said the culture war like that thing we launched two months ago and there's like what
do we have 11 episodes literally 11 episodes 11 episodes that's how influential in 11 episodes
you have corrupted a jury it's amazing it's amazing i'm just saying like we talk about
conspiracy theories we've never talked about conspiracy but the legacy media doesn't understand
any of the new media at all no uh i mean they don't it's clear from the tactics that they take
that they don't understand you know joe rogan they don't understand tim pool uh they don't
understand crowder they don't understand whoever. They are completely living 20 years in the past,
and they're getting killed.
They're a cult.
They're getting killed, too.
I mean, the ratings or the watches for this show
will take out pretty much any of CNN's daily stuff.
Oh, yeah, no question.
They barely hit five figures in the key demo. Right. of cnn's like daily stuff oh yeah no question they don't even they don't even hit they barely
hit five figures in the key demo right well any any animal that's dying lashes out for the last
bastion of control and really what what the legacy media is seeing is that this new media and
alternative media is really stepping up so they need to try and exercise some control over it
by placing people in certain camps
and them controlling the narrative of what those camps mean.
And I think, you know, it sounds trite to say it,
but the 2024 election is likely going to be
the most important one of all time.
This is a very seemingly pivotal time in history.
So it makes sense to like,
okay, who has sway?
Who has influence?
Control the boxes that you can put them in
and that way the legacy media
that feels like they're dying
has a little bit of control left.
But does it really matter
since the robots are going to kill us anyway?
They're not going to.
It's not what's...
Terminator's wrong. I haven't seen that movie yet, so I don't know. The Terminator's going to kill us anyway they're not they're not going to that's it's not what's so terminator's i haven't seen that movie yet so no the terminator is going to
knock on your door and then the people are going to be like oh it's the terminator it's come to get
us and he's going to clean your house and he's going to plug into your brain and then give you
untold euphoric pleasures and put you into the metaverse where you experience all the great
things and you never want to leave. Like, what was it
in Star Trek Generations?
Was it the Nexus?
What did you call it?
It was?
Yeah, but I've never seen that movie
because I'm not a Star Trek person, right?
Where it's like,
so basically there's this like
dimensional rift or something
and when you're in it,
you experience ultimate happiness
and you never want to leave.
William Shatner has a family
and he's chopping wood
in the forest and he doesn't want to leave and picard but i'm not a nerd to leave you have to
leave this i'm just speculating i don't know i'm just speculating i saw the cliff notes to the
movie i didn't actually watch it well that's kind of like soma we were talking about before soma
yeah what is that 1984 no that's no that's right yeah yeah so like being happy with your servitude
bro or equilibrium
the best movie ever made the first thing i think happens is they go to people who lose loved ones
and they say just plug in and we've taken the social media of your loved one and create an
ai version of them you can talk to them and ask them questions and they're not gonna want to leave
it's called the replica have you seen that replica replica oh the dating app well yeah
they tried taking dating away from it because dudes were, you know.
Well, yeah.
And then some people were let down because they kind of pulled back because it was getting a little too hot and heavy for them.
But it actually started.
The woman who launched it, it was because she lost her best friend or something like that.
So she made a clone so she could cope with the loss.
So that's where it started.
And then it started turning into like a dating thing.
Do you think that's coping?
Like if you lose someone and you make a clone of them,
do you think you're actually grieving
or do you think you're avoiding grief?
You know, like that's a very interesting nuanced question
because I would say is meditating coping?
Is praying coping?
Is like anything from alcohol to cannabis to long walks on the beach coping? Is praying coping? Is like anything from alcohol to cannabis
to long walks on the beach coping?
But if you lose someone and they can't talk to you anymore,
so you make a version of life where they can talk to you,
are you actually letting that person go?
Are you grieving the loss and accepting that they are gone?
Yeah, I don't think there's a clear answer to that
because in a sense,
I know many people who have like lost a loved one
and they still speak with them in some way so this is externalizing it in the same way that
writing is externalizing your mind onto the outside world so i don't know i don't know how
