Transcrição completa de Trumpism Destroyed | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.420 were going to hold the Senate. Just mathematically, 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.500 if nothing happened. Just mathematically alone, 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.860 they were going to hold it. They're at 54 seats. 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.699 Democrats are at 54 seats now. And of course, 00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:38.500 they're going to wipe out the House also. This 00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:42.220 election, this is the biggest election for a 00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:46.449 historic win going back to the 1970s. Yes, 1974 00:04:46.449 --> 00:04:50.009 during Watergate. Pretty hard to run during the 00:04:50.009 --> 00:04:52.649 impeachment hearings, which is what, well, it's 00:04:52.649 --> 00:04:57.990 what happened, right? So, yeah, Nixon resigned. 00:04:58.350 --> 00:05:01.649 Did he resign in 74 or 75? I want to say he resigned 00:05:01.649 --> 00:05:06.410 in 74. And so, yeah, that's right. So, yeah, 00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:09.509 Nixon resigned in August of 74. And then the 00:05:09.509 --> 00:05:13.129 election was in November of 74. So, of course, 00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:16.259 the Republicans got destroyed. um and that would 00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:18.879 be hard to replicate you know i mean i think 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.139 the thing is symbolically jamal tell me if you 00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:25.579 know what you think here i i think the war symbolized 00:05:25.579 --> 00:05:29.540 a lot of things in people's minds um in no particular 00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:34.000 order right um it was lies from the government 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.939 you know basically oh we have to fight this war 00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:38.560 for you know even though there's no real reason 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.779 we have to fight this war it was is the israeli 00:05:41.779 --> 00:05:44.579 influence You know, it's like this is for Israel. 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.759 This was their idea, not our idea, and we went 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.560 along with it. It was the redirection of important, 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.319 precious resources of people and treasure toward 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.040 a foreign country that is, you know, whose behavior 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.800 we, to put it kindly, we disapprove of as a nation, 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.079 away from the America first priorities that most 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.060 people on the left and the right. favor so it 00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:14.519 was that misdirection of like misspent money 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.399 and all that it was the president the president's 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.720 attention being spent overseas on something in 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.939 the middle east that had nothing to do with the 00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:27.399 problems here at home right so it's again it's 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.480 like you're not paying attention to us i mean 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.120 iran was a stand -in for a lot of things that 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.819 went wrong it wasn't just one thing it was also 00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:38.759 american impotence right like we're spending 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.939 all this money on defense And yet we can't defeat 00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:45.459 this objectively smaller non -nuclear powered 00:06:45.459 --> 00:06:49.060 adversary. Right. We can't defeat them. Here 00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:52.139 we go again. Another loss. We were promised so 00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:55.319 much winning, but this is we got so much losing. 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.040 And, you know, and the fact that it fed into 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.600 inflation, which was already a problem under 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.939 Biden when Trump came in the second time and 00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:07.100 it was a problem. It was getting worse and it 00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:10.639 was a problem due to the. aftermath of the pandemic 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.360 and it was over and the tariffs made it worse 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.600 too and so all this stuff it was it the the war 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.839 is the perfect storm you know it's not just oh 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.439 we shouldn't have done this it's like there's 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.420 a million reasons why this was a bad idea yeah 00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:31.120 it's a combination of things i mean like i have 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.240 never seen a situation where and and let's be 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.439 very clear about this like i was saying on the 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.410 show last night This is a complete condemnation 00:07:40.410 --> 00:07:44.189 and repudiation of Trump. It is almost as if 00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:47.620 somebody dragged Trump in a cage where they were 00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:50.399 throwing bananas and eggs at him into the middle 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.899 of an arena. He was like VersaJetter except the 00:07:52.899 --> 00:07:57.579 triumph in Rome. Yeah, exactly. He got away without 00:07:57.579 --> 00:08:01.519 being corroded, but otherwise. 350 million Americans 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.439 spit on Trump at once. That's what that's like. 00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:09.160 Because you could say, Okay, but yeah, but there's 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.100 a bunch of Republicans out there with them. That's 00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:14.540 true. But the reality of it is that the American 00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:16.600 public is getting at Trump through those Republicans. 00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:20.660 It's almost like, do you remember when Abiy Ahmed 00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:25.379 had won the Nobel Peace Prize and the TPLF attacked 00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:29.180 Ethiopian government? This was, oh God, I think 00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:32.299 like 2022 or something like that. And the US 00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:35.460 media kept reporting it like Ethiopia was wrong. 00:08:35.929 --> 00:08:39.230 As opposed to the TPLF that had attacked the 00:08:39.230 --> 00:08:41.210 Ethiopian government,

the U .S. had ties with 00:08:41.210 --> 00:08:43.409 the TPLF, in which case the U .S. media jumped 00:08:43.409 --> 00:08:45.730 in back to TPLF, despite the fact that they were 00:08:45.730 --> 00:08:49.129 attacking the government. And the Ethiopians 00:08:49.129 --> 00:08:51.730 and Eritreans that were in Virginia were very 00:08:51.730 --> 00:08:54.649 angry at what was taking place because they looked 00:08:54.649 --> 00:08:57.789 at that as this is Biden's doing, that the media, 00:08:57.870 --> 00:08:59.570 for the most part, is following the U .S. government, 00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:02.269 who at that point was under Joe Biden. And what 00:09:02.269 --> 00:09:05.460 did they do when the election came up for? I 00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:07.000 forget the guy who was running for the Democrats. 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.419 Like 100 ,000 Eritreans and Ethiopians voted 00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:14.340 Republican or just didn't vote as a punishment 00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:18.019 to Joe Biden through the Democratic governor. 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.000 And I guess that's the way I look at this. The 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.000 American public couldn't necessarily get their 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.779 hands on Trump because Trump wasn't on the ballot. 00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:27.679 But esoterically, Trump was on the ballot because 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.039 Trump is everywhere. Trump wouldn't even leave 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.759 the campaign stage when his approval rating was 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.700 getting at the pond scum stage. He was at like 00:09:34.700 --> 00:09:37.139 a 30%. And so it's like, yeah, you have 30 % 00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:38.879 of your cult members that's willing to do that. 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.019 But what about independents, Hispanics, blacks, 00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:44.059 like all of these demographics that you were 00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:47.019 able to make some level of inroads with that 00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:50.620 completely and utterly eroded. And instead of 00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:53.620 like dealing with that straight, he goes out, 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.480 we are winning so much that, you know, it's just, 00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:59.720 you know, beyond winning. as if a person can't 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.519 necessarily tell when they're getting poorer, 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:06.080 right? Meaning, do I trust Trump or do I trust 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.110 the fact that my money goes less far as it was 00:10:10.110 --> 00:10:12.070 going prior? Well, I'm going to trust the fact 00:10:12.070 --> 00:10:13.750 that I can't pay for things. I'm going to trust 00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:15.769 the fact that my rent is higher, that my bills 00:10:15.769 --> 00:10:18.950 are going up, that my gas is higher, that diesel 00:10:18.950 --> 00:10:20.830 is higher, that farmers are taking it. I'm going 00:10:20.830 --> 00:10:23.289 to trust that as opposed to Donald Trump standing 00:10:23.289 --> 00:10:25.570 on stage telling me that we're winning so much 00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:28.690 that we're going to get sick of winning. They 00:10:28.690 --> 00:10:32.629 reached through those Republican Congress members 00:10:32.629 --> 00:10:36.529 in order to give a complete repudiation and condemnation 00:10:36.529 --> 00:10:42.299 of one man, Donald Trump. It's fascinating. Like, 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.980 I've never seen anything like it to this day. 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.139 It's what the polls showed. Yeah, I mean, normally 00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:49.220 wave elections tend to be like a flock of birds 00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:52.159 where people are all acting as individuals, but 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.279 they all have different motivations to vote in 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.080 a certain way. The polls clearly showed going 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:01.460 into early voting and then throughout into yesterday 00:11:01.460 --> 00:11:05.419 that Americans were primarily, even people who 00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:07.600 said, you know, all politics are local and I'm 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.259 okay with my local elected representative, even 00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:13.620 though he's Republican. They were willing to 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:17.340 throw people like Susan Collins, the story senator 00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:21.200 from Maine, out of office in order to send that 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.620 message. Ohioans, which has become a red state, 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.379 were willing to send a decisive message to Vivek 00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:31.759 Ramaswamy, like, we do not want what you're selling. 00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:34.720 But mainly, all of this was the polls showed, 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.899 what's the main thing we're trying to do? We're 00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:40.360 trying to tell Donald Trump, we hate you and 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.320 your policies. by the way governors like greg 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.159 agbert out of office in texas a democrat yes 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:53.169 has taken the governorship in texas whoa all 00:11:53.169 --> 00:11:56.889 right that's like whoa when i saw that last night 00:11:56.889 --> 00:11:58.990 when i saw that thing called what is it gina 00:11:58.990 --> 00:12:01.669 i'm going to mispronounce her that it's like 00:12:01.669 --> 00:12:04.250 gene hole it's like a hoji or something like 00:12:04.250 --> 00:12:07.669 that i saw it i was like a democrat has taken 00:12:07.669 --> 00:12:12.850 the governorship in texas yeah I don't know if 00:12:12.850 --> 00:12:16.789 it, I have never seen. This is as bad as Joe 00:12:16.789 --> 00:12:21.379 Biden was at that debate. It's absolutely, yeah, 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:26.059 it's an absolute tsunami. It's the symbolism. 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.679 I mean, you know, look, I'm an N of one. I never 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.299 vote for corporate Democrats. I never vote for 00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:35.080 Republicans. I'm always looking

for a third party 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.500 or protest votes. And I voted for both of you 00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:42.960 guys. minor races in my district. The Kathy Hochul, 00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:48.559 the sitting incumbent, somewhat basically corporatist 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:53.220 governor of New York, but not as evil as, say, 00:12:53.519 --> 00:13:00.179 Josh Shapiro. I was like, ah, my pen lingered 00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:03.279 over her oval. Do I do this or not? And I was 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.730 like, you know what? I want to be part of this 00:13:06.730 --> 00:13:11.029 giant chorus of fuck you's to Donald Trump. And 00:13:11.029 --> 00:13:16.929 this is about the blood that's in the rubble 00:13:16.929 --> 00:13:20.149 in Gaza. It's about the settlers beating the 00:13:20.149 --> 00:13:22.750 shit out of innocent Palestinians in the West 00:13:22.750 --> 00:13:27.139 Bank. It's about... It's about the misappropriation 00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:30.659 of funds by your own standards, by your own account 00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:33.980 to a country that doesn't need or want them while 00:13:33.980 --> 00:13:37.299 Americans are suffering. It's about you talking 00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:41.159 about the reflecting pool when we all have serious 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.019 issues to deal with here and people can't go 00:13:44.019 --> 00:13:47.139 to the doctor when they're sick. You know, it's 00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:49.139 about that. It was like I wanted to, and I think, 00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:52.279 you know, for once I was in sync with the American 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.129 people. I think that. People had some variation 00:13:55.129 --> 00:13:57.870 of that. They had their own versions of it, but 00:13:57.870 --> 00:14:01.090 people were just like, enough, enough of your 00:14:01.090 --> 00:14:05.309 bloviating, enough of your nasty rhetoric, enough 00:14:05.309 --> 00:14:08.629 of your misplaced priorities, enough of your 00:14:08.629 --> 00:14:12.629 nonstop, incessant lying. People just had enough. 00:14:13.110 --> 00:14:16.429 I have never been cussed out more on a live stream 00:14:16.429 --> 00:14:19.669 than I was last night. You said that, and I didn't 00:14:19.669 --> 00:14:21.490 understand what was going on because you were 00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:23.490 covering the election. And you were with Jeff 00:14:23.490 --> 00:14:27.129 Gorman. Yes, for six and a half hours. Six and 00:14:27.129 --> 00:14:28.629 a half hours. That's awesome. Six and a half 00:14:28.629 --> 00:14:30.769 hours. Jesus Christ. That's crazy. I didn't tell 00:14:30.769 --> 00:14:34.370 you. I thought I was going to die. I was like, 00:14:34.490 --> 00:14:39.470 well, but I had been busy all day. Cursed out 00:14:39.470 --> 00:14:43.230 by who? For what? The co -host. I was cursed 00:14:43.230 --> 00:14:46.149 out by the co -host. So I was cursed out by his 00:14:46.149 --> 00:14:51.110 JT. Why? Because I committed the unconscionable 00:14:51.110 -->

00:14:54.350 crime. of voting my conscience and not rewarding 00:14:54.350 --> 00:14:57.809 a party that betrayed me with my vote and so 00:14:57.809 --> 00:15:03.029 uh so the first 20 or 30 minutes me and the guy's 00:15:03.029 --> 00:15:05.049 name is chad kind of just locked horns out there 00:15:05.049 --> 00:15:06.909 at the beginning of it he's not just wearing 00:15:06.909 --> 00:15:09.190 really nice flannel and stuff and they're wearing 00:15:09.190 --> 00:15:11.909 their suit coats i said yeah i i came in them 00:15:11.909 --> 00:15:17.539 just for a funeral what do you mean what do you 00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:20.490 mean I said, because y 'all are going to get 00:15:20.490 --> 00:15:22.929 destroyed tonight. He was just like, why do you 00:15:22.929 --> 00:15:26.070 think you're... So I immediately started talking 00:15:26.070 --> 00:15:30.470 about here. Donald Trump ran as a reformer. He 00:15:30.470 --> 00:15:34.850 betrayed everything that he ran on. He started 00:15:34.850 --> 00:15:39.909 a unconstitutional war in Iran that he lost. 00:15:41.370 --> 00:15:43.769 There's real pain here at home. What do you mean 00:15:43.769 --> 00:15:45.570 he started a war? We're not at war. Sure we are. 00:15:45.750 --> 00:15:48.830 We're blocking another country. That's what he 00:15:48.830 --> 00:15:51.090 said. We're not in a war. What the fuck does 00:15:51.090 --> 00:15:55.629 he think? It's an excursion. He said it's a conflict. 00:15:56.070 --> 00:15:58.789 And he tried to use the War Powers Act as cover. 00:15:58.929 --> 00:16:01.269 I said, well, the War Powers Act is unconstitutional. 00:16:02.190 --> 00:16:04.429 He's like, you're right. You're just lazy and 00:16:04.429 --> 00:16:07.889 retarded. I said, that's possible, but it doesn't 00:16:07.889 --> 00:16:10.149 change the fact that... Is that a defense for 00:16:10.149 --> 00:16:11.740 that? I agree with that. Donald Trump didn't 00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:13.779 have any excuse to start a war. He just lied 00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:16.539 into the war. I mean, the idea that the United 00:16:16.539 --> 00:16:18.539 States can attack a sovereign country is - He 00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:21.120 didn't even lie well. I mean, he was either taking 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.659 lessons from the Bush administration. They were 00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:26.279 good liars. We were so beneath his contempt that 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.379 he didn't try to lie to us. Then fast forward 00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:30.600 to the end. So the last 20 minutes, and then 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.779 all the guests are going, leaving and stuff. 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.580 It was really going until after midnight last 00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:38.080 night, Eastern time. Yeah. And then it was just 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.879 me, Chad, and Jeff there at the end. And he said, 00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:44.299 the problem, the reason why we lost is because 00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:47.139 people like you and your pussy protest votes. 00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:50.100 As a pussy protest votes, I said, first of all, 00:16:50.139 --> 00:16:54.879 I said, your president, your president told people 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:56.899 like me that we are not part of this coalition. 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.399 He did not want us, and we were not needed. To 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.539 which case, we said, fine, not a problem, buddy. 00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:07.640 I said, some people are like me. Like Forstag, 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.359 I voted for him. He's the Democrat. He won, by 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.359 the way, the first time Northwest Montana sent 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.619 a Democrat to office in 20 years. That's crazy. 00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:20.819 Donald Trump and J .D. Vance are both here campaigning 00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:24.299 for Flint, and this guy got destroyed. In Montana. 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.599 In Montana, the reddest of red states. There's 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.359 votes still being counted in Mississippi. We 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.059 don't know how that's going to go. Yeah, we don't 00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:35.039 know. Mississippi is literally the most right 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.680 -wing state in the United States. If you get 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.839 several states that it was going in a direction, 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:43.420 like it was just running in a way. You could 00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.920 see it, right? Because when I went to bed, I 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.160 was like, I was like, this is going to get Michigan. 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.490 That was my thought. And I think it was the other 00:17:51.490 --> 00:17:52.930 state. And I was like, that person is going to 00:17:52.930 --> 00:17:54.809 win. Susan Collins is going to lose also in Maine. 00:17:55.170 --> 00:17:57.329 And when I woke up this morning, both had lost. 00:17:57.549 --> 00:18:01.250 I sent you a clip. This is Mark Levin. I want 00:18:01.250 --> 00:18:04.250 to show the coat that's happening right now. 00:18:04.910 --> 00:18:06.970 I want to show the coat that's happening. This 00:18:06.970 --> 00:18:09.950 is great. This is gold. So I got to be honest 00:18:09.950 --> 00:18:12.009 with you. I don't think I've ever really heard 00:18:12.009 --> 00:18:14.690 Mark Levin speak. Maybe once for like maybe 20 00:18:14.690 --> 00:18:16.509 seconds or something. Oh, it's not a pleasant 00:18:16.509 --> 00:18:21.140 experience. It's not. But he's so good. Like 00:18:21.140 --> 00:18:23.579 when I was listening to him, I was like, it's 00:18:24.309 --> 00:18:27.730 like a Rush Limbaugh. Like it's detestable, right? 00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:32.779 but the talent is undeniable right yeah yeah 00:18:32.779 --> 00:18:35.640 the talent is there but it's it's it's it's so 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.099 detestable as a human being but when he's talking 00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:41.380 he's like he has the smooth voice that he's just 00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:44.720

talking individually to his crowd his group his 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.950 tribe and it's like giving them bracing them 00:18:48.950 --> 00:18:52.380 for an extinction level event meaning mark levin 00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:56.450 sees it and the code is just great Well, let 00:18:56.450 --> 00:18:58.430 me just say this real quick, and I'll play this, 00:18:58.509 --> 00:19:00.250 because let me see what really set Chad off, 00:19:00.349 --> 00:19:02.109 because I damn near gave him a stroke. He just 00:19:02.109 --> 00:19:06.269 left it. It was amazing. So he was talking about 00:19:06.269 --> 00:19:10.089 how he was opposed to Lindsey Graham's sister, 00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:13.670 Darlene, and the campaign against her, to the 00:19:13.670 --> 00:19:16.630 point where he got a strongly worded letter from 00:19:16.630 --> 00:19:18.769 the GOP, because I guess he's really big plugged 00:19:18.769 --> 00:19:20.710 in with the GOP in South Carolina, and he lost 00:19:20.710 --> 00:19:22.410 his presidential credentials there at the White 00:19:22.410 --> 00:19:25.559 House. I said, well, now here you are voting 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.039 for someone who you say that you are diametrically 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.799 opposed to because you're carrying water for 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.940 the GOP. I didn't call him a well -used, low 00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:36.420 -rent pussy because I learned my lesson from 00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:40.099 a heifer gate. A well -used, low -rent pussy. 00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:42.880 Is that what you said you called him? That's 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:48.009 right. No, I did not say that. That's what I 00:19:48.009 --> 00:19:51.170 thought. No. No, you did not say it. That's a 00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:53.750 good thing that you did not say it. Listen, I 00:19:53.750 --> 00:19:59.549 learned my lesson from Peppergate, okay? But 00:19:59.549 --> 00:20:02.230 the point is, what I said is that you carried 00:20:02.230 --> 00:20:04.490 water, message received, and so you're going 00:20:04.490 --> 00:20:06.730 to vote for whoever it is that your orange Jesus 00:20:06.730 --> 00:20:09.950 tells you to vote for. And you got to lose every 00:20:09.950 --> 00:20:13.029 time because you did, and that's what happened. 00:20:13.410 --> 00:20:17.529 Fuck you, Robbie! Fuck you. I don't carry water 00:20:17.529 --> 00:20:20.089 for anybody. So you just admitted you did. And 00:20:20.089 --> 00:20:22.509 for everyone watching this live stream, it's 00:20:22.509 --> 00:20:26.289 like you carried water for the GOP. And that's 00:20:26.289 --> 00:20:27.970 exactly what you did. I hope you can sleep well 00:20:27.970 --> 00:20:31.640 tonight. I sleep like a baby. I'll go to bed 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.640 just by the smile on your face because I prefer 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.640 my enemies up front where I can see them. Not 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.740 with a stench of hypocrisy like what you're doing 00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:46.319 right now. Oh, my God. Can we play that Mark 00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:50.259 Levin? Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's play it. Come 00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:53.640 on, let's play. Okay. He was having some feelings. 00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:57.940 Well -written, well -used, low -rent pussy. People 00:20:57.940 --> 00:21:01.230 who are sitting back and they're saying, you 00:21:01.230 --> 00:21:03.150 know, I was promised this, I was promised that. 00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:06.519 We've reached a point where our psychology, at 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.079 least for too many of our people, is I was promised 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:14.130 this and I was promised that. We know the president 00:21:14.130 --> 00:21:18.940 has done everything he can to institute the things 00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:21.279 that he has said, and I think he's instituted 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:23.700 almost all of them. Well, wait, stop right there. 00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:28.539 Stop right there. Stop right there. We're going 00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.799 to have to stop at a few points because some 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:35.480 of this stuff gets great. He says we have a problem 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.019 of people saying I was promised this and I was 00:21:39.019 --> 00:21:41.299 promised that. So right off the bat, he's going 00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:44.470 directly at the core issue, right? Donald Trump 00:21:44.470 --> 00:21:46.569 said he was going to do this. Donald Trump didn't 00:21:46.569 --> 00:21:48.670 do this. So we need to punish Donald Trump for 00:21:48.670 --> 00:21:51.170 not doing this. Which, by the way, is how the 00:21:51.170 --> 00:21:55.690 system is supposed to work. Right. Exactly. Exactly. 00:21:56.049 --> 00:21:58.470 And his thing is, well, that's a problem. People 00:21:58.470 --> 00:22:01.369 shouldn't do that. But then he conversely says, 00:22:01.589 --> 00:22:05.309 well, people shouldn't have expectations of what 00:22:05.309 --> 00:22:07.509 a person should do when they get in office. But 00:22:07.509 --> 00:22:10.309 Donald Trump has pretty much done everything 00:22:10.309 --> 00:22:13.390 he said he was going to do. That's like, what? 00:22:14.109 --> 00:22:16.430 So he's inoculating himself in one sense of, 00:22:16.509 --> 00:22:20.079 hey, people shouldn't have expectations. But 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.480 those expectations were fulfilled nonetheless, 00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:27.609 pretty much. He's inoculating his audience. But 00:22:27.609 --> 00:22:30.410 it's also like, it's objectively not true. I 00:22:30.410 --> 00:22:32.490 mean, it's objectively not true. Trump's major 00:22:32.490 --> 00:22:35.470 promises, we've enumerated them. He, you know, 00:22:35.490 --> 00:22:39.289 I mean, America first, no more wars. The economy 00:22:39.289 --> 00:22:42.009 is going to be great. The price is going to come 00:22:42.009 --> 00:22:44.650 down. These are all these are the major points. 00:22:44.750 --> 00:22:47.990 Right. And he I mean, you know,

come on. He can't. 00:22:48.009 --> 00:22:50.390 I mean, I can't. But that's what he's saying. 00:22:50.410 --> 00:22:52.029 But this is how he's starting with his audience. 00:22:52.170 --> 00:22:53.950 I love this because he's talking to a tribe. 00:22:54.130 --> 00:22:57.529 And let's just say and he never Trump did not 00:22:57.529 --> 00:23:00.150 run saying we're going to, you know, go after 00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:01.809 Iran and make sure they can't have a nuclear 00:23:01.809 --> 00:23:04.750 weapons program. That was not one of his major 00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:07.380 points. No, it was not. That's the opposite of 00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:09.119 one of his major points. Right. But let's keep 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:10.700 going. So I just want to nail that part down 00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:13.500 first. Let's keep going. Obsession. And that 00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:16.240 had to be stopped. And as a result, you can go 00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.250 to bed at night. And the vast majority of us 00:23:19.250 --> 00:23:22.390 are utterly unaffected by that war. I am told 00:23:22.390 --> 00:23:25.839 from people who know that Republican voting is 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:28.789 light. OK, wait, wait, hold up. Right, right 00:23:28.789 --> 00:23:32.089 there. It's like he says most of us are unaffected 00:23:32.089 --> 00:23:35.440 by that war. Like the lying on this is all the 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.660 rich people. They're getting rich off of it. 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:40.059 Everybody's affected by the war. Even rich people. 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.019 Even rich people. Yeah. Well, even rich people, 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:46.039 yeah. I mean, and everybody pays for gas. And 00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:47.740 look, there are a lot of rich people who want 00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:50.160 to do business who are screwed over by the tariffs. 00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:52.740 True. Who are screwed over by the war. Who are 00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:54.400 screwed over by the energy costs and the prices 00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:57.549 that have just went through the roof. Like, meaning, 00:23:57.630 --> 00:24:00.009 we are all affected by it. If you live in the 00:24:00.009 --> 00:24:03.150 U .S., you're affected. Yeah. No question. I 00:24:03.150 --> 00:24:05.930 mean, like, this lying is breathtaking. This 00:24:05.930 --> 00:24:07.509 is one of the things I got into with Chad last 00:24:07.509 --> 00:24:10.609 night. He kept saying that Iran is our enemy. 00:24:10.789 --> 00:24:12.789 The mullahs must destroy us. They killed American 00:24:12.789 --> 00:24:14.990 soldiers. I was like, Chad, could you tell me, 00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.809 these American soldiers who were killed, were 00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:20.569 they in Kansas, Missouri, or here in Montana? 00:24:20.930 --> 00:24:25.730 Or were they occupying a foreign country? After 00:24:25.730 --> 00:24:30.009 a million people were murdered in an unjust, 00:24:30.269 --> 00:24:36.630 undeclared war. More to the

point. after the 00:24:36.630 --> 00:24:40.170 united states supported iraq and saddam hussein 00:24:40.170 --> 00:24:42.930 in an eight -year war against iran to begin with 00:24:42.930 --> 00:24:47.740 so wherever those soldiers says you're just anti 00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:50.180 -americans and i'm so american i want my i want 00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:53.940 the soldiers to come home it's also like once 00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:55.980 you start once you're resorting to name calling 00:24:55.980 --> 00:25:01.750 you're losing yeah Dude, it was so awesome. Republicans 00:25:01.750 --> 00:25:04.349 are, I mean, should we do some comments or should 00:25:04.349 --> 00:25:07.230 we see more Mark Levin? Well, it gets better, 00:25:07.349 --> 00:25:09.390 believe it or not. Just play just a little bit 00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:12.710 more of it. It gets better because he's explaining 00:25:12.710 --> 00:25:15.309 to his audience and he's inoculating his audience 00:25:15.309 --> 00:25:18.269 from what he knows is going to be withering. 00:25:18.589 --> 00:25:21.390 But there's a part of this clip that I love and 00:25:21.390 --> 00:25:23.009 I want to get your takes on. Let's play this 00:25:23.009 --> 00:25:26.440 clip for a second. That it is indeed possible 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:31.279 that we will lose statewide races. Possible. 00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:38.119 In Texas. You will. In Florida. They want Florida. 00:25:38.339 --> 00:25:43.650 In Kansas. In Iowa. By the way, Florida, Ron 00:25:43.650 --> 00:25:48.210 DeSantis comes out of this powerful. Yeah. Because 00:25:48.210 --> 00:25:52.009 the miscreants, the malcontents, the reprobates, 00:25:52.049 --> 00:25:55.309 the people who want to destroy our economic system, 00:25:55.450 --> 00:25:57.470 who want to destroy our constitutional system. 00:25:57.650 --> 00:26:01.799 The reprobates. They're turning out in mosque. 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:05.369 Right here. Right. I was thinking the same thing. 00:26:05.609 --> 00:26:11.859 Why? Because they see an opportunity. It's not 00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:14.240 your fault. It's not my fault. It's not the president's 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.539 fault. They see an opportunity. Let's stop right 00:26:16.539 --> 00:26:18.900 there. That literally makes no sense at all. 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:24.559 Literally, that makes no sense. You are in combat 00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:28.339 between two political parties to try to win elected 00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:32.319 offices, Democrats versus Republicans. So if 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.819 it's not the fault of the... leader of the party, 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:39.920 the president. And it's not the fault of, you 00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.519 know, people like Mark Levin, who are influencers 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:46.160 of that party. It's not the fault of the voters 00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:51.059 of that party. It's the fault, you're blaming 00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:54.880 your opponent for seizing the opportunity that, 00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:58.140 wait, you opened up, that you created, right? 00:26:58.220 --> 00:27:02.119 It's not really, it's sort of saying like, okay, 00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:07.390 so is it the fault? of Nazi Germany. Is it really 00:27:07.390 --> 00:27:11.789 like, it's really the Allies' fault that they 00:27:11.789 --> 00:27:15.869 invaded Nazi -occupied Europe at D -Day. That's 00:27:15.869 --> 00:27:19.049 their fault. It's not that the Nazis didn't properly 00:27:19.049 --> 00:27:21.609 reinforce their beachhead, or that they didn't 00:27:21.609 --> 00:27:23.829 have the right number of troops there, or that 00:27:23.829 --> 00:27:25.750 they didn't have the right weaponry, or that 00:27:25.750 --> 00:27:27.690 they didn't try to negotiate peace before an 00:27:27.690 --> 00:27:30.769 inevitable defeat. It's the fault of Churchill, 00:27:30.890 --> 00:27:34.589 and de Gaulle, and FDR, and Stalin. It's their 00:27:34.589 --> 00:27:37.369 fault. Because they were just looking for opportunities, 00:27:37.490 --> 00:27:40.450 like little assholes. I love that argument. Because 00:27:40.450 --> 00:27:42.910 he's, again, he is talking to his audience. It 00:27:42.910 --> 00:27:45.710 puts me in a mind of Rush Limbaugh. He's talking 00:27:45.710 --> 00:27:49.190 to his tribe. Y 'all are missing. It's like, 00:27:49.250 --> 00:27:52.039 hey, look, it's not your fault. Y 'all are missing 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:53.839 something here. I love the way he says it. It's 00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.539 not your fault. Here's what you're missing. And 00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:58.940 Ted, you were there for it. Back when you were 00:27:58.940 --> 00:28:00.980 talking with Doug, when you were debating with 00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:06.890 Doug last night. It was a stellar panel. What 00:28:06.890 --> 00:28:10.349 they were doing, the enemy here are America first 00:28:10.349 --> 00:28:12.289 people like me. That's who Mark Levin is talking 00:28:12.289 --> 00:28:15.650 about, because we did not turn out to support 00:28:15.650 --> 00:28:19.769 the GOP establishment because they lied to us. 00:28:19.789 --> 00:28:21.710 And then they said that you are not wanted and 00:28:21.710 --> 00:28:24.109 then you are not needed. That is the argument 00:28:24.109 --> 00:28:26.349 that Doug made to Ted when Ted was there. Whenever, 00:28:26.470 --> 00:28:29.750 by the way, he spewed fake news saying that J 00:28:29.750 --> 00:28:31.890 .D. Vance said he was not going to run for election 00:28:31.890 --> 00:28:36.009 in 2028. He pulled that completely out of his 00:28:36.009 --> 00:28:38.869 mind. This is like New Coke. It's the fault of 00:28:38.869 --> 00:28:42.849 American soda water consumers that they didn't 00:28:42.849 --> 00:28:46.329 drink New Coke. It's not the fault of Coke. It's 00:28:46.329 --> 00:28:49.529 not the fault of Coke. It's our fault for being 00:28:49.529 --> 00:28:53.410 little shits for refusing to drink the soda water. 00:28:53.829 --> 00:28:55.990

It's the fault of the Democrats for malcontents 00:28:55.990 --> 00:28:59.690 and the reprobates. And he's basically blaming 00:28:59.690 --> 00:29:04.539 people for voting. for their own party like meaning 00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:08.220 he's god man i love this he's inoculating his 00:29:08.220 --> 00:29:11.140 own tribe it's not your fault and he says it's 00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:14.440 so like it's the most it comes across like it's 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:16.940 the most sincere thing in the world even though 00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:19.940 it's full of because it's not his fault you got 00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:22.519 to remember it's not my fault even though i was 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.400 pushing policies that entirely completed this 00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.619 map like meaning he's not dealing with the fact 00:29:27.619 --> 00:29:30.690 that the map is what the map is and his argument 00:29:30.690 --> 00:29:33.789 is basically don't blame Trump for this. Are 00:29:33.789 --> 00:29:36.789 you serious? How do you make that argument to 00:29:36.789 --> 00:29:40.269 the American public, right? Donald Trump is obviously 00:29:40.269 --> 00:29:42.190 the president of the United States. He obviously 00:29:42.190 --> 00:29:44.769 started a war. People are obviously in pain. 00:29:44.769 --> 00:29:48.730 This is not a situation where you have a great 00:29:48.730 --> 00:29:51.130 president. And I mean, by the way, this is a 00:29:51.130 --> 00:29:53.710 midterm election, right? So this analogy doesn't 00:29:53.710 --> 00:29:55.650 even work. But let's just say you had a presidential 00:29:55.650 --> 00:29:59.740 election and you have a great... You know, like, 00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:02.380 okay, I'll give you an example. John McCain was 00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:06.599 a pretty good candidate. You know, he was a pretty 00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:10.279 solid, high -quality candidate. Obama was simply 00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:14.859 better. And that's not what happened here. If 00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:16.940 Trump were running against some kind of Democrat, 00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:19.380 he could be running against a lame Democrat. 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:23.059 The American people chose fucking Hakeem Jeffries 00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:26.970 over Donald Trump. And when someone chooses Hakeem 00:30:26.970 --> 00:30:30.549 Jeffries over you, that's not because Hakeem 00:30:30.549 --> 00:30:32.930 Jeffries is great. It's because you suck ass. 00:30:33.589 --> 00:30:35.930 That's the other part. Democrats offered nothing. 00:30:36.329 --> 00:30:38.529 Right. This is not a situation where it's like 00:30:38.529 --> 00:30:40.309 Democrats. Which, by the way, may have been. 00:30:40.369 --> 00:30:42.730 Obviously, it worked. Part of it was also like 00:30:42.730 --> 00:30:46.150 if they didn't propose anything specific, they 00:30:46.150 --> 00:30:49.109 couldn't get attacked. Sucks for America. But 00:30:49.109 --> 00:30:50.529 it's great for them in a way that they're in 00:30:50.529 --> 00:30:52.289 the right. Like they're going to stay in there 00:30:52.289 --> 00:30:54.710 with nothing. And they don't owe us anything. 00:30:55.329 --> 00:30:57.990 Yeah. And I guess that's the other part that 00:30:57.990 --> 00:31:02.089 Levin is missing on purpose. It's not like Democrats 00:31:02.089 --> 00:31:04.150 say, hey, we have a contract with America and 00:31:04.150 --> 00:31:07.009 they're running this national campaign that's 00:31:07.009 --> 00:31:10.950 a movement. Democrats just stood back and said, 00:31:10.990 --> 00:31:13.970 let Trump be Trump. That's all they did. They 00:31:13.970 --> 00:31:17.740 got out of his way. Yeah, they just got out of 00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:19.940 his way. A bag of money falling out of the sky. 00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:24.420 It was jujitsu. They let him go on about the 00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:27.519 fucking, about the reflecting pool. They let 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:31.599 him talk about men's asses, you know, which is 00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:34.519 not gay at all. There's nothing gay about admiring 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:37.519 another man's ass. That's the least gay thing 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.400 that can possibly be. It shows you're not gay. 00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:42.960 The mere fact that you're salivating over another 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.539 man's ass proves you're not gay. As someone who's 00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:47.759 seen your ass, you have a very cute ass. Why, 00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:49.180 thank you. I just want to let you know that. 00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:50.779 Thank you. I appreciate that. It takes security 00:31:50.779 --> 00:31:55.950 to be able to do that. What's really not gay 00:31:55.950 --> 00:31:59.069 is to have sex with another man and put your 00:31:59.069 --> 00:32:02.450 penis in his ass. That shows you have total confidence 00:32:02.450 --> 00:32:06.829 in your heterosexuality. That's where you know 00:32:06.829 --> 00:32:09.369 someone's so straight that they're willing to 00:32:09.369 --> 00:32:14.069 go to an all gay orgy and be gang raped all night 00:32:14.069 --> 00:32:17.369 long with no lube. That's how you know a person 00:32:17.369 --> 00:32:20.619 is straight. Looking at you, Hex, Seth. That's 00:32:20.619 --> 00:32:24.519 right. That's right. By the way, they are going 00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:28.799 to go after his ass. Oh, they are. He's first 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:32.539 up. He's first up. And I think that one will 00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:36.599 take. We have some comments. We really have to. 00:32:36.660 --> 00:32:42.069 We have great comments here. Okay, so F you so. 00:32:42.630 --> 00:32:44.630 Thank you for the donation. There was a good 00:32:44.630 --> 00:32:50.299 stoning here. Hashtag wake and bake. Evan Copel, 00:32:50.380 --> 00:32:54.299 thanks for the $4 .99. Do you think the war will 00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:57.059 kick off again now that the writing is on the 00:32:57.059 --> 00:33:00.019 wall for the

Republicans? That's an interesting 00:33:00.019 --> 00:33:07.049 question. More likely than not, I think. So it's 00:33:07.049 --> 00:33:08.930 like the Congress was almost like an afterthought 00:33:08.930 --> 00:33:13.670 in regards to the war. Look, Democrats are going 00:33:13.670 --> 00:33:17.490 to get, what, 54, 55 seats? Yeah, it could be 00:33:17.490 --> 00:33:20.750 56. And that's just basically four away. Which 00:33:20.750 --> 00:33:24.430 means they would only have to flip for, well, 00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:28.950 five Republicans. Yeah. Because they've got John 00:33:28.950 --> 00:33:31.529 Fetterman to deal with. In order to overcome 00:33:31.529 --> 00:33:33.849 the filibuster. Yeah. They're only four away 00:33:33.849 --> 00:33:37.410 from that. Yeah. That's astonishing. And there's 00:33:37.410 --> 00:33:39.470 a lot of Republicans who would probably be thinking, 00:33:39.509 --> 00:33:42.869 like, you know, being slightly against Trump, 00:33:42.950 --> 00:33:46.250 like Susan Collins was. isn't enough. Look at 00:33:46.250 --> 00:33:48.609 what happened to her. You know, I've got to look 00:33:48.609 --> 00:33:50.230 at the, I've got to read the tea leaves and look 00:33:50.230 --> 00:33:52.710 at the future. Little writings on the wall. Yeah. 00:33:52.849 --> 00:33:55.529 So I don't know. I mean, the reality of it is 00:33:55.529 --> 00:33:59.029 if Congress asserts itself, I mean, and again, 00:33:59.069 --> 00:34:00.710 it's not that I think Democrats are like, oh 00:34:00.710 --> 00:34:03.349 my God, we hate this war. It's more so that it's 00:34:03.349 --> 00:34:05.289 Donald Trump is prosecuting the war. We don't 00:34:05.289 --> 00:34:07.269 like Donald Trump. How can we make his life miserable? 00:34:07.430 --> 00:34:09.409 And how can we show this to the American public 00:34:09.409 --> 00:34:11.409 that we're making his life miserable? Well, they 00:34:11.409 --> 00:34:14.289 had the power to do it. And yeah, after something 00:34:14.289 --> 00:34:16.289 like this, where you have this wave election, 00:34:16.610 --> 00:34:19.690 what do the other Republicans think? Do they 00:34:19.690 --> 00:34:21.809 think we need to ride this boat to the bottom? 00:34:21.949 --> 00:34:27.530 Or do they think the king, God is bleeding? Yeah. 00:34:28.610 --> 00:34:33.070 God has been injured. Yeah, I think Republicans 00:34:33.070 --> 00:34:36.590 are going to be like rats from a sinking ship. 00:34:36.969 --> 00:34:39.500 Yeah, agreed. They've got to be. I don't think 00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:40.639 they're going to write this book to the ground 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:42.320 after seeing what they saw last night. They're 00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.739 just not that stupid. I just don't see it. Child 00:34:45.739 --> 00:34:47.599 of God, speaking of which, thank you so much. 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.579 America first won. They said they would destroy 00:34:50.579 --> 00:34:53.360 the grifters in MAGA and the Republican Party 00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:56.480 by letting the Democrats win, and mission accomplished. 00:34:56.860 --> 00:34:59.019 That's the argument that I made last night, and 00:34:59.019 --> 00:35:01.119 I gave so many people strokes. It was a thing 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:06.210 of beauty. I'm dead serious. I'm not asking you 00:35:06.210 --> 00:35:08.369 all to watch the whole six hours. That would 00:35:08.369 --> 00:35:11.590 be insane. But it's good. But like the first 00:35:11.590 --> 00:35:16.489 30 minutes and then the last 30 or 40. You got 00:35:16.489 --> 00:35:20.409 to cut it. You got to cut it. I will. But it 00:35:20.409 --> 00:35:22.849 is amazing because the argument they were making 00:35:22.849 --> 00:35:26.230 is that it's not the Democrats who defeat the 00:35:26.230 --> 00:35:28.969 Republicans. It was people like me who either 00:35:28.969 --> 00:35:32.170 voted third party, did write -ins, or just simply 00:35:32.170 --> 00:35:35.030 did not get in line with the GOP establishment, 00:35:35.250 --> 00:35:38.369 which case I said loyalty is earned. And then 00:35:38.369 --> 00:35:41.670 this idiot is just like, you don't owe your vote 00:35:41.670 --> 00:35:44.150 to anyone. It's like, I was in the military. 00:35:44.369 --> 00:35:46.349 We all worked together as a team. I said, yeah, 00:35:46.389 --> 00:35:48.670 exactly. And you know what happened? You lied 00:35:48.670 --> 00:35:52.980 to me. Right. You lied. And if your commanding 00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:57.000 officer is a liar and incompetent, he will not 00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.619 inspire the respect of his men. And more to the 00:35:59.619 --> 00:36:04.139 point, my son, he ships out in February. And 00:36:04.139 --> 00:36:07.099 I made this case. I said, you say that you are 00:36:07.099 --> 00:36:09.760 supposedly a Republican conservative, but you 00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:13.440 are arguing that the Constitution of the United 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.400 States that you swore to uphold in your oath 00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:19.519 to the military means nothing to you. That your 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:23.079 political allegiance to the orange Jesus means 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:24.940 more to you than the oath that you swore to the 00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:28.429 Constitution. He did not like that. Gentlemen, 00:36:28.469 --> 00:36:31.050 I have a suggestion for the Republican Party, 00:36:31.130 --> 00:36:34.409 and it's really not tongue in cheek. I think 00:36:34.409 --> 00:36:37.570 the smart move now would be to invoke the 25th 00:36:37.570 --> 00:36:41.429 Amendment. And here's why. First of all, it's 00:36:41.429 --> 00:36:43.489 the right thing to do. And it would be showing 00:36:43.489 --> 00:36:45.010 that you're willing to do something the Democrats 00:36:45.010 --> 00:36:47.349 were not willing to do. It would also show that 00:36:47.349 --> 00:36:54.090 you heard the election results. And it sets up 00:36:54.090 --> 00:36:57.630 J .D. Vance as the incumbent. It gives

him a 00:36:57.630 --> 00:37:00.809 good, solid year and a half runway into the election. 00:37:01.380 --> 00:37:04.440 into the campaign and to set things up. He can, 00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:08.179 you know, he's been sort of awkwardly trying 00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:11.559 to be Donald Trump 2 .0, but it doesn't really 00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:14.539 fit because he's a different creature entirely. 00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.699 That's the move, right? Invoke the 25th Amendment, 00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:22.119 get him out. And it just shows that you heard 00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:25.480 the American people. You eat your own in order 00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.079 to show, hey, look, we accept this referendum. 00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:31.139 My grandfather was in the French resistance, 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.739 as you guys are probably tired of hearing. And 00:37:33.739 --> 00:37:38.619 one of his best friends, his comrade, raped a 00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:43.760 local girl. The villagers who were angry came, 00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.360 you know, brought this guy up. They caught him 00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:48.980 and they brought him up and they're like, you 00:37:48.980 --> 00:37:52.059 know, like this happened. My grandfather shot 00:37:52.059 --> 00:37:55.320 his friend to death personally. He's like in 00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:59.239 front of the village and he did it. When told 00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:02.400 the story years later, he cried. He cried at 00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.719 the time, I'm sure. It had to be done. It's like 00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.460 this person embarrassed the resistance. He embarrassed 00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:12.300 the Maquis. He violated the rights of the French 00:38:12.300 --> 00:38:16.960 people. He took the honor of this French girl. 00:38:17.179 --> 00:38:21.019 He had to go. And the fact that he was a close 00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:24.179 friend made it all the more imperative that he 00:38:24.179 --> 00:38:28.659 had to go. yeah and it had to happen and he had 00:38:28.659 --> 00:38:34.699 to do it himself credibility yeah and if jd vance 00:38:34.699 --> 00:38:38.099 i mean god man they should take the lesson from 00:38:38.099 --> 00:38:39.699 what happened to democrats and kamala harris 00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:44.360 but you're right invoke the 25th get rid of trump 00:38:44.429 --> 00:38:49.119 make a speech hey we get it we went astray we've 00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:53.659 heard you god man also it would also help It's 00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:55.880 a weird, it's a fun, it's a great way to deflect 00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:58.559 the blame. You can say like, look at Trump. It's 00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:03.460 all Trump's fault. And he's just, he's not the 00:39:03.460 --> 00:39:06.679 same man we met, we knew in 2016. And by the 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:08.739 way, Republicans are going to do that. When they 00:39:08.739 --> 00:39:10.880 come out, all of them are going to say, it's 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:12.480 Trump's fault. But this gives everybody, this 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.860 gives all of them cover. It saves the party by 00:39:15.860 --> 00:39:18.820 getting rid of one man. Yeah, yeah. And he's 00:39:18.820 --> 00:39:21.400 already a lame duck. MAGA is dead. Will they 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:23.510 do that? Because Trump is not going to step down. 00:39:24.469 --> 00:39:28.550 Again, he seems to be so unselfaware. But see, 00:39:29.510 --> 00:39:33.289 I think the shtick fell apart this morning in 00:39:33.289 --> 00:39:36.119 the interview with Fox News. That shtick just 00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:40.650 doesn't, like, he seemed really deflated. It's 00:39:40.650 --> 00:39:43.210 not this bravado on the stage where he's doing 00:39:43.210 --> 00:39:45.289 his self -speech. It's funny that he was surprised, 00:39:45.429 --> 00:39:47.710 right? Because this is like what I always say 00:39:47.710 --> 00:39:50.389 about 9 -11. It was shocking, but not surprising. 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:53.739 This was shocking, but not surprising. You know, 00:39:53.780 --> 00:39:56.860 Jamal, you called it here on the show weeks ago. 00:39:57.059 --> 00:39:59.659 I came in, you know, I was a little later than 00:39:59.659 --> 00:40:03.039 you, but we both called it here on the show before 00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.579 the election. I mean, we're just two guys with 00:40:06.579 --> 00:40:09.019 a podcast, right? We don't have our own. We don't 00:40:09.019 --> 00:40:12.159 have our own internal polling agencies. We don't 00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:15.360 have, you know, we don't have like people bribed 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:18.019 at local boards of elections. We don't know anything, 00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:20.800 right? We're just, so if we can see it. It's 00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:23.980 not, it's objectively not shocking. I have a 00:40:23.980 --> 00:40:26.539 question for the two of you. The Democrats have 00:40:26.539 --> 00:40:30.309 won. That means they have to govern. Can they 00:40:30.309 --> 00:40:33.340 do it? Well, you got to split that between the 00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:35.280 federal and the state and local levels, right? 00:40:35.420 --> 00:40:37.280 And I really want to talk about the state and 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:40.400 local level a lot because that's where Democrats 00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:42.679 can get some things done. They've just picked 00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:45.059 up a bunch of governorships, a bunch of state 00:40:45.059 --> 00:40:47.900 houses. That's governance. They have executive 00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:50.380 power. They can do things. They can change things. 00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:55.139 They are going to be they're going to be in a 00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:57.340 position to be able to do that. There's just 00:40:57.340 --> 00:41:00.239 going to be gridlock in Washington. I mean, Democrats 00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.300 cannot get any. They don't have a veto proof 00:41:02.300 --> 00:41:04.920 majority. They can they can pass legislation 00:41:04.920 -->

00:41:09.710 and they should. Trump will veto it. He posted 00:41:09.710 --> 00:41:12.989 a picture of himself with a veto MAGA -style 00:41:12.989 --> 00:41:17.170 red hat online. He's just good. There will be 00:41:17.170 --> 00:41:19.489 things that they work together on. Probably. 00:41:19.789 --> 00:41:21.590 Probably. Because I remember, what was it, Bill 00:41:21.590 --> 00:41:22.769 Clinton working with Congress? Like infrastructure. 00:41:24.150 --> 00:41:26.949 Or something like that to do horrible shit. And 00:41:26.949 --> 00:41:28.210 you may get something similar in another way. 00:41:28.210 --> 00:41:32.110 Crime bill. Yeah. NAFTA. Yeah. They'll be able 00:41:32.110 --> 00:41:34.570 to do some shit. Trump. He'll do some shit. Hey, 00:41:34.650 --> 00:41:37.480 this makes me look good. I'll sign it. Right. 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.179 They'll be able to get a few things done. But 00:41:39.179 --> 00:41:40.980 nationally, no, they won't be able to. There's 00:41:40.980 --> 00:41:42.699 no governance. But I don't think governance is 00:41:42.699 --> 00:41:44.800 expected. Everyone knows it's going to be gridlocked. 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:48.039 A lot of voters in the exit polls said that they 00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:51.719 were voting for split government. They felt like 00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.139 they needed a check and balance, you know, against 00:41:54.139 --> 00:41:56.679 Trump. Yeah, I think they were voting for gridlock. 00:41:56.820 --> 00:42:00.099 They don't want anything more to happen. They're 00:42:00.099 --> 00:42:03.340 exhausted, too, right, by Trump's constant, you 00:42:03.340 --> 00:42:08.469 know. fire hose of of stupidity and news which 00:42:08.469 --> 00:42:11.630 is interesting in and of itself it's like they 00:42:11.630 --> 00:42:13.590 gave because look the republicans the problem 00:42:13.590 --> 00:42:15.630 that republicans have is that they had the house 00:42:15.630 --> 00:42:18.590 the senate the supreme court and the presidency 00:42:18.590 --> 00:42:22.010 yep they had god level power which means it's 00:42:22.010 --> 00:42:26.550 all they own it all they own it all the supreme 00:42:26.550 --> 00:42:30.920 court even was like the president is a god Right, 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:34.820 yeah. He can do anything he wants with absolute 00:42:34.820 --> 00:42:37.460 immunity. With absolute immunity. He can do whatever 00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:42.800 he wants. That's a curse. You've got to do something 00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:45.480 with that. If you've got the infinity gauntlet, 00:42:45.579 --> 00:42:48.940 you've got to use it. You can't say that God, 00:42:49.059 --> 00:42:51.260 well, God didn't have the power to do it. No, 00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:54.699 God had the power to do it. He just didn't. Or 00:42:54.699 --> 00:42:56.920 what he did was just completely against the American 00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:58.800 public and completely against what he told everybody 00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:03.409 else. They have to own it. There's no way to 00:43:03.409 --> 00:43:05.510 say, well, Democrats were blocking us. You can't 00:43:05.510 --> 00:43:09.159 say that. You had absolute power. Democrats didn't 00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:12.199 do anything. In fact, Democrats just shut up. 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.579 They weren't even there. Let's catch up with 00:43:15.579 --> 00:43:20.900 some comments. Kilroy, thanks for the dono. DJT 00:43:20.900 --> 00:43:26.730 Bukake, 2027. All the best gents from Ricardo. 00:43:26.929 --> 00:43:30.230 Thanks for the donation. Coalitions are not electoral 00:43:30.230 --> 00:43:32.889 destiny. This is the mistake both parties make. 00:43:32.989 --> 00:43:35.289 Add betrayal and you have a result like yesterday. 00:43:35.429 --> 00:43:37.829 Dems will need to deliver if they want to keep 00:43:37.829 --> 00:43:42.349 Gaines. True. Very true. And God, man, you've 00:43:42.349 --> 00:43:44.349 taken Texas. You've taken Kansas. You've taken 00:43:44.349 --> 00:43:46.789 Iowa. You've taken, or let's say, hell, North 00:43:46.789 --> 00:43:50.590 Carolina. You took Maine, which they keep saying 00:43:50.590 --> 00:43:53.030 is a Democratic state. You took Maine. You have 00:43:53.030 --> 00:43:57.659 to show. Ohio? You took Ohio? They took South 00:43:57.659 --> 00:44:02.019 Carolina. And they took the entire state of Texas, 00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:04.900 right? The Senate, the governorship, everything. 00:44:05.340 --> 00:44:08.539 They took all of Wisconsin also. Yeah. They took, 00:44:08.579 --> 00:44:10.800 like, meaning Wisconsin statewide. They went 00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:13.840 also to Democrats. I mean, Tom Keene Jr., I mean, 00:44:13.860 --> 00:44:17.119 granted, he didn't show up to, you know, to work 00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:20.440 in New Jersey as a congressman. But, I mean, 00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.250 Tom Keene, his father. You know, that's the King 00:44:23.250 --> 00:44:25.449 Commission. He was the chairman of the 9 -11 00:44:25.449 --> 00:44:28.110 Commission. I mean, that's a story, New Jersey 00:44:28.110 --> 00:44:32.139 political dynasty. Gone. They've been there for, 00:44:32.179 --> 00:44:35.840 what, 30 years? Yeah. And think about Ramaswamy. 00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:39.260 Like, how many hundreds of millions of dollars 00:44:39.260 --> 00:44:43.110 did he waste on that race? Gone. Yeah. It's just, 00:44:43.170 --> 00:44:45.610 wow. I just, like, I saw that race and I was 00:44:45.610 --> 00:44:48.670 like, I mean, the catch is, if they want to keep 00:44:48.670 --> 00:44:51.210 it, they have to do something to keep it. They 00:44:51.210 --> 00:44:54.980 do. And I'm far from convinced that they will. 00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:59.159 Because we keep getting this process of going 00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:01.400 back and forth. There will be some who lose, 00:45:01.500 --> 00:45:03.099 right? Just on the outskirts, just in general. 00:45:03.219 --> 00:45:04.559 But if you're talking about like trying to maintain

00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:07.579 Texas, look, let's be very clear. A Republican 00:45:07.579 --> 00:45:09.980 would never go back to the White House if Democrats 00:45:09.980 --> 00:45:14.639 have Texas. True. There's no math that makes 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.980 it work. I mean, like you would have to find 00:45:16.980 --> 00:45:19.760 some other new weird pathway to make that work. 00:45:20.300 --> 00:45:22.519 Texas is going Democrat. I mean, Republican forever. 00:45:23.340 --> 00:45:26.500 So it's like, I've always argued that Texas was, 00:45:26.500 --> 00:45:29.219 was possible and Richard's proved it. I mean, 00:45:29.219 --> 00:45:31.739 you know, it's kind of like, well, it's like, 00:45:31.860 --> 00:45:33.940 okay, well, it's Republic. We always think in 00:45:33.940 --> 00:45:35.639 this country that like when there's a change, 00:45:35.739 --> 00:45:38.460 it's forever. And that's a ridiculous assumption, 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:43.719 you know, Kilroy abstaining is BS and pointless 00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:47.789 vote independent. Well, if you can. i mean most 00:45:47.789 --> 00:45:50.570 races don't have an independent candidate on 00:45:50.570 --> 00:45:53.750 the ballot so i mean that's not like two -thirds 00:45:53.750 --> 00:45:56.570 or unopposed two -thirds are completely unopposed 00:45:56.570 --> 00:46:00.940 meaning there's only one party yeah so i mean 00:46:00.940 --> 00:46:03.800 forget about independence i mean i bet like 95 00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:06.239 of races have no independent on the ballot i 00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:09.679 think i'd be by the way um where was it that 00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:14.030 the um um the was it susan collins i guess it 00:46:14.030 --> 00:46:16.349 was what in one of the races the libertarian 00:46:16.349 --> 00:46:19.210 party had an impact oh this might have been in 00:46:19.210 --> 00:46:23.349 texas right um but like yeah but it was like 00:46:23.349 --> 00:46:26.949 they got like 3 .4 percent of the vote not insignificant 00:46:26.949 --> 00:46:30.429 for given american politics especially with close 00:46:30.429 --> 00:46:35.449 races um in that way um i'll say he wins in michigan 00:46:35.449 --> 00:46:42.199 and he kills it um By the way, I don't know if 00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:45.219 you want to hear Trump. Oh, that's where, yeah, 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:47.639 go ahead, yeah. No, no, I'm just asking if y 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:49.000 'all want to hear the clip when he came on Fox 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:51.619 News. Yeah, let's do that. Let me catch up with 00:46:51.619 --> 00:46:53.400 the comments because they're really coming in 00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.199 fast and thick. I'm just going to hit the paid 00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:58.960 one right now. Okay, here we go. Pugs and Bubs, 00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:01.260 thanks for the donation. I wanted to watch Robbie 00:47:01.260 --> 00:47:03.119 and Jeff, but I couldn't find the show. In the 00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:05.340 future, can you provide links if one of you will 00:47:05.340 --> 00:47:09.260 be appearing? Love, Deep Program. Watch the socials. 00:47:09.539 --> 00:47:14.199 We post them on socials for Jamal's account, 00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:18.480 my account, the deprogram account. But just subscribe, 00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.960 follow deprogram on X and Facebook, and that 00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:26.880 stuff is there. LeeNYCXX, Florida is the last 00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:30.239 bastion of boomer Republicans. I'm glad that 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:34.260 came up. I mean, Ron DeSantis, who I was thinking, 00:47:34.420 --> 00:47:36.920 you know, was going to slowly fade into the sunset. 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:41.670 He helped. He, yeah, he comes out, he leaves 00:47:41.670 --> 00:47:45.309 the governorship basically as the mac daddy of 00:47:45.309 --> 00:47:47.829 not only the state of Florida, basically being 00:47:47.829 --> 00:47:51.530 the firewall who kept the state Republican. And 00:47:51.530 --> 00:47:54.769 that used to be a swing state, famously. He's 00:47:54.769 --> 00:47:57.889 the only Southern state that really truly held. 00:47:58.289 --> 00:48:02.449 Georgia is gone. South Carolina is gone. Mississippi 00:48:02.449 --> 00:48:06.190 may be gone. I mean, it's kind of like he leaves 00:48:06.190 --> 00:48:08.590 there sort of like. Okay, you guys all fucked 00:48:08.590 --> 00:48:13.530 up, and I've been replaced by the, as he put 00:48:13.530 --> 00:48:15.949 it, among the 10 most populous states, there's 00:48:15.949 --> 00:48:19.210 only one Republican governor, and it's Ron DeSantis' 00:48:19.469 --> 00:48:24.530 endorsed chosen successor. This makes Ron DeSantis 00:48:24.530 --> 00:48:28.230 a bigger force in the national party, and you 00:48:28.230 --> 00:48:31.909 have to be thinking about him for 2028. He held. 00:48:32.010 --> 00:48:34.590 As a vice presidential. I see him as a vice presidential 00:48:34.590 --> 00:48:39.710 candidate. florida remain red even despite all 00:48:39.710 --> 00:48:43.349 of those countries i mean iowa kansas just by 00:48:43.349 --> 00:48:46.349 themselves going blue yeah it's pretty impressive 00:48:46.349 --> 00:48:49.030 like that's something had to happen for that 00:48:49.030 --> 00:48:51.329 to take place when you look at that map jamal 00:48:51.329 --> 00:48:54.090 you sort of see like it used to be a block of 00:48:54.090 --> 00:48:56.630 red right like in flyover country over country 00:48:56.630 --> 00:49:01.130 yeah and now and with the coasts were blue Now, 00:49:01.210 --> 00:49:04.349 it's like they look like defeated outposts of 00:49:04.349 --> 00:49:10.309 an old former empire. It's over. That video of 00:49:10.309 --> 00:49:12.650 Trump. Give me your take on that video. Because 00:49:12.650 --> 00:49:16.389 to me, what I'm hearing is a defeated man. Can 00:49:16.389 --> 00:49:19.210 we catch up in the comments? Sorry, we just have 00:49:19.210 --> 00:49:22.750 so many. I just want to make sure the viewers

00:49:22.750 --> 00:49:26.989 get there. Oh, totally. Okay, all right, all 00:49:26.989 --> 00:49:28.969 right. And we've got Scott coming up in like 00:49:28.969 --> 00:49:31.829 10 minutes here. But that was a good point. All 00:49:31.829 --> 00:49:34.570 right, we only have a few more paid ones. Makadin, 00:49:34.710 --> 00:49:37.010 I'm busy texting Robbie's regime change comment 00:49:37.010 --> 00:49:39.570 to everyone I know. That's another T -shirt for 00:49:39.570 --> 00:49:42.679 sure. Thanks for the dollar. That's a really 00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:44.460 good comment. It is a good comment. Blake to 00:49:44.460 --> 00:49:47.480 celebrate. Wait, let me guess. Can we switch 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:50.219 it up today and get Jamal to undo his top button 00:49:50.219 --> 00:49:53.280 for Ween Me Daddy Wednesday? Giving Ted a rest 00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:55.559 from the hot seat is the least we can do today, 00:49:55.619 --> 00:50:01.230 especially since I don't have a button. Oh! Donald 00:50:01.230 --> 00:50:05.989 Trump better not be watching. Even though, because 00:50:05.989 --> 00:50:08.869 he's so straight, he might lose it. P. Walker. 00:50:09.420 --> 00:50:12.119 Are they crying over his Redbane pizza right 00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.579 now? All right. Let's watch that clip. Let's 00:50:15.579 --> 00:50:18.730 do it. Do we have it? Yeah, we don't have to 00:50:18.730 --> 00:50:22.150 watch the whole one. It's great, though. It's 00:50:22.150 --> 00:50:27.059 about two minutes. Because Fox was really kind 00:50:27.059 --> 00:50:30.920 of coming to some kind of honest recollections. 00:50:31.460 --> 00:50:34.579 Well, it is still a news network, right? Yeah. 00:50:35.780 --> 00:50:44.489 But they were obviously in mourning. But let 00:50:44.489 --> 00:50:48.070 me ask you this. Candidate quality. Do you have 00:50:48.070 --> 00:50:52.429 regrets about Ken Paxton or Darling Graham looking 00:50:52.429 --> 00:50:56.550 back at the beginning of this choice? Well, I 00:50:56.550 --> 00:51:00.329 had no choice. Ken Paxton was a good guy. And 00:51:00.329 --> 00:51:03.110 I just wasn't a fan of Cornyn. You know, I just 00:51:03.110 --> 00:51:06.070 wasn't a fan. I found him to be a disloyal guy. 00:51:06.829 --> 00:51:10.449 He was not a fan of mine when, you know, to be 00:51:10.449 --> 00:51:13.670 honest, when it wasn't fashionable, he wasn't 00:51:13.670 --> 00:51:16.309 there. We could say that about a lot of people, 00:51:16.369 --> 00:51:19.750 could say that about you. When it wasn't fashionable 00:51:19.750 --> 00:51:22.630 to be with Trump, he wasn't there. When it was 00:51:22.630 --> 00:51:25.530 fashionable, he kissed my ass. All right. But, 00:51:25.610 --> 00:51:28.329 you know, I remember the I remember the other 00:51:28.329 --> 00:51:30.909 days and I just felt I couldn't endorse him. 00:51:30.989 --> 00:51:33.250 And I will tell you, the MAGA base, you know, 00:51:33.250 --> 00:51:35.889 with MAGA base, I think. I think the

MAGA base 00:51:35.889 --> 00:51:38.510 is 100%, by the way, of the Republican Party. 00:51:39.170 --> 00:51:43.530 CNN had a poll. I'm at 99 % approval in the Republican 00:51:43.530 --> 00:51:47.730 Party, the highest ever. Please. I shouldn't 00:51:47.730 --> 00:51:52.780 say this, but Abraham Lincoln was at 8%. Ronald 00:51:52.780 --> 00:51:57.699 Reagan was at 15%. And Trump was at 54%. Oh, 00:51:57.780 --> 00:52:00.099 that's great. And then Irene Fox said, I'm not 00:52:00.099 --> 00:52:02.679 popular. You know what I mean? The Fox polls 00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:04.400 are terrible. You ought to get yourself a good 00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:06.019 pollster because your pollster is the worst. 00:52:06.099 --> 00:52:08.000 But tonight, actually, the results are pretty 00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:10.039 close to what the Fox polls show. Well, I don't 00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:11.820 know about that. I can just tell you about speaking 00:52:11.820 --> 00:52:16.360 for myself. And the results with Fox with me 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:19.280 were wrong for 12 years. I mean, they've gotten 00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:24.960 me wrong for 12 years. That part, to me, that's 00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:28.119 a breathtaking part. This is not theoretical, 00:52:28.340 --> 00:52:31.420 right? It's not like the scientists postulating. 00:52:31.940 --> 00:52:34.460 hey what do you think is going to happen in the 00:52:34.460 --> 00:52:37.300 lab experiment you know it's not that it's the 00:52:37.300 --> 00:52:40.019 experiment has been run you've been found lacking 00:52:40.019 --> 00:52:44.199 yeah this is cold hard fact yeah the facts just 00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:46.980 the cold hard facts of it all you have been found 00:52:46.980 --> 00:52:50.239 lacking and wanting and donald trump still sits 00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:52.739 here and says well yeah i think your pose sucks 00:52:52.739 --> 00:52:56.679 and i think your pose are wrong dude what are 00:52:56.679 --> 00:53:00.940 you talking about right He just watched. It's 00:53:00.940 --> 00:53:03.119 not registered. We heard a lot of that on the 00:53:03.119 --> 00:53:06.059 Dornick thing last night, too. Oh, really? A 00:53:06.059 --> 00:53:11.079 lot of it. It was a lot. And then there was this 00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:13.739 woman, I forget her name, she kept, Susan something, 00:53:13.900 --> 00:53:16.400 she kept talking about like, oh, so what are 00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:19.280 you going to do? What should Republicans do to 00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.099 regroup? And she was like, well, we need to complain 00:53:22.099 --> 00:53:26.940 about the election irregularities. And when pressed, 00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:31.579 by me and others, what election regularity? She 00:53:31.579 --> 00:53:34.940 said, well, how could Tallarico have won? And 00:53:34.940 --> 00:53:38.280 I'm like, because Ken Paxton was corrupt and 00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:41.679 got caught cheating in his wife in the Bible 00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:46.000 belt and

was a terrible human being. And Tallarico 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.500 was connected with the voters and he was a man 00:53:49.500 --> 00:53:52.659 of faith and all that. Like, yeah, that's why. 00:53:52.900 --> 00:53:55.000 Well, she's like, but she kept saying, but how 00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:57.889 could he? This is like. All the conspiracies 00:53:57.889 --> 00:54:00.070 about like, I don't know, there's anything like, 00:54:00.150 --> 00:54:03.130 well, how could a guy have made a shot from the 00:54:03.130 --> 00:54:05.949 book depository building and killed the president? 00:54:06.070 --> 00:54:12.050 How could 19 assholes with box cutters do all 00:54:12.050 --> 00:54:15.150 that shit? How could, how could? Because sometimes 00:54:15.150 --> 00:54:18.150 it just happens, right? Yeah. How could we get 00:54:18.150 --> 00:54:20.710 to the moon? There were particles of radiation 00:54:20.710 --> 00:54:23.389 and there was blah, blah, blah. And it's far, 00:54:23.630 --> 00:54:27.860 man. And it's so far away. It's like the evidence 00:54:27.860 --> 00:54:31.289 of the thing happening is not evidence of corruption 00:54:31.289 --> 00:54:35.829 or cheating. Just because you don't like what 00:54:35.829 --> 00:54:37.929 took place doesn't mean that something nefarious 00:54:37.929 --> 00:54:40.570 was involved. Something big happened, that's 00:54:40.570 --> 00:54:44.619 all. Weird shit happens sometimes. And this is 00:54:44.619 --> 00:54:47.199 not even weird. This is the most rational thing 00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:49.579 in the world. I didn't think Ken Paxton was going 00:54:49.579 --> 00:54:52.119 to win. I thought early on he was a terrible 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:55.139 candidate. And I'm not alone in thinking that. 00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:57.760 It was just like, I didn't see how that guy was 00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.679 so compromised. And all the Democrats had to 00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:03.099 do was come up with someone like Tallarico, and 00:55:03.099 --> 00:55:06.599 they did. Donald Trump told millions of people 00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:11.050 like me to stay home. And we did. At the end 00:55:11.050 --> 00:55:13.730 of the day, that's why they got the shellacking 00:55:13.730 --> 00:55:15.750 that they got. And frankly, they deserved it. 00:55:16.269 --> 00:55:19.789 Is there more to this Trump interview or is that 00:55:19.789 --> 00:55:23.090 it? It's all the same thing. It's just how popular 00:55:23.090 --> 00:55:26.670 he is. The rest is just regular Trump being Trump. 00:55:26.869 --> 00:55:31.550 That very first part where Brett is bringing 00:55:31.550 --> 00:55:34.929 Trump in and there's this kind of deflated sense. 00:55:35.820 --> 00:55:39.000 of Donald Trump receding back into the, you know, 00:55:39.019 --> 00:55:42.760 the reptilian brain that he can fight back from. 00:55:42.820 --> 00:55:45.239 And it's like, well, I mean, I'm very popular. 00:55:45.380 --> 00:55:47.460 I mean, there were polls and they were like 70%.

00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:50.519 And, you know, and then he called Bret Baier 00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:55.280 disloyal. Yeah, yeah. You weren't there for me. 00:55:55.699 --> 00:55:59.440 You weren't there for me. That's literally all 00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:01.440 he ever talks about is like, oh, like, were you 00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:05.440 a fan of me or? you know whatever there is something 00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:08.880 wrong with this i mean like this is look i i 00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:11.789 often think people in the manosphere tend to 00:56:11.789 --> 00:56:15.690 um overcompensate like it's insecurity posing 00:56:15.690 --> 00:56:20.239 as um um provocativeness or bravado it's kind 00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:23.530 of like um django like in the in the movie where 00:56:23.530 --> 00:56:25.710 he's a slave and then the first outfit he buys 00:56:25.710 --> 00:56:28.030 is this bright pink suit or whatever he's sitting 00:56:28.030 --> 00:56:30.969 on this white pink suit in the west he's overcompensating 00:56:30.969 --> 00:56:34.039 he's insecure And I get the sense that a lot 00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:36.199 of the stuff is insecurity. Donald Trump receding 00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:39.820 back into, but I'm very popular. You're not. 00:56:40.219 --> 00:56:43.519 No. He compared himself with, like, I mean, first 00:56:43.519 --> 00:56:45.199 of all, I don't think there was polling when 00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:48.300 Lincoln was president. There were elections. 00:56:49.260 --> 00:56:52.519 There were elections. The elections got to give 00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:56.079 a heads up. No, I guess I'm trying to make the 00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:59.139 basic point. Donald Trump's insecurity is on 00:56:59.139 --> 00:57:02.690 this idea of. people love me i'm popular i like 00:57:02.690 --> 00:57:05.570 i know people love me adulation it's kind of 00:57:05.570 --> 00:57:08.309 like homelander and um the boys that's what it 00:57:08.309 --> 00:57:11.610 puts you in mind yes it's drinking mothers like 00:57:11.610 --> 00:57:15.210 drinking breast milk but needing adulation of 00:57:15.210 --> 00:57:17.389 the public needing people to love them needing 00:57:17.389 --> 00:57:19.869 people to worship them as a god and then you 00:57:19.869 --> 00:57:24.750 get this 350 million people saying you suck we 00:57:24.750 --> 00:57:27.170 don't like you you know but it's funny if i cared 00:57:27.170 --> 00:57:30.320 that much about people liking me I mean, obviously, 00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:32.860 I don't care that much about people liking me. 00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:35.960 I'd behave differently, right? Like if I wanted 00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:38.320 to, I'd know how to do that. I'd like make my 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:41.039 cartoons more like straightforward liberal Democrat. 00:57:41.400 --> 00:57:44.719 I'd be less abrasive. I wouldn't call people 00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:49.079 like pussies or assholes. I would do. These are 00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:51.280 not hard things to do. I just don't really care 00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:56.309 to do them. Donald Trump, he cares so much. I 00:57:56.309 --> 00:57:58.929 mean, he could change that behavior. He could 00:57:58.929 --> 00:58:03.349 say, you know, he could stop calling people horrible 00:58:03.349 --> 00:58:07.530 names. He could stop taking a shit on veterans. 00:58:07.670 --> 00:58:10.170 He could do all sorts of things like that. He 00:58:10.170 --> 00:58:13.570 could tell the American people when they're saying, 00:58:13.650 --> 00:58:15.949 hey, we're really broke and we're really scared. 00:58:16.170 --> 00:58:19.929 Like, don't worry, I'm here for you. I want to 00:58:19.929 --> 00:58:23.789 fix it. I really care about you. I love you all. 00:58:24.219 --> 00:58:27.360 like my own sons and brothers. Like, but he doesn't 00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:30.500 do that. He doesn't do that. And he wants the 00:58:30.500 --> 00:58:33.760 adulation. Yeah, he's a narcissist. But he also 00:58:33.760 --> 00:58:37.599 wants this love and, you know, oh my God, look 00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:39.260 how great you are. And by the way, you see it 00:58:39.260 --> 00:58:41.820 when world leaders are dealing with, like when 00:58:41.820 --> 00:58:43.599 they get psychological profiles of the world 00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:45.340 leaders, like from Russia, they obviously have 00:58:45.340 --> 00:58:47.659 one on Trump. And Putin comes out and everybody 00:58:47.659 --> 00:58:50.969 hates him when he does it. Oh, Mr. President, 00:58:51.050 --> 00:58:54.170 happy birthday. Please tell Melania, you know, 00:58:54.190 --> 00:58:56.769 that her efforts to get the kids back. We really 00:58:56.769 --> 00:58:59.210 appreciate this and everything else. And you're 00:58:59.210 --> 00:59:00.769 doing OK today. You're looking good. I just want 00:59:00.769 --> 00:59:02.389 to make sure your health is good. Like they do 00:59:02.389 --> 00:59:05.570 that shit for influence because they know he's 00:59:05.570 --> 00:59:08.789 influenceable by doing that. And when you get 00:59:08.789 --> 00:59:10.590 Marco Rubio and all of these other creatures 00:59:10.590 --> 00:59:13.429 that are sitting around Trump, one psychopath 00:59:13.429 --> 00:59:15.489 after the next saying how great Trump is and 00:59:15.489 --> 00:59:17.449 how amazing the government works because of Donald 00:59:17.449 --> 00:59:19.980 Trump and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You can't 00:59:19.980 --> 00:59:22.920 run a government like that. Not a competent one. 00:59:23.329 --> 00:59:26.190 No. Which is just amazing.

Right. Thank you for joining us. Thanks 00:59:50.389 --> 00:59:52.070 for having me, guys. No, I think what you guys 00:59:52.070 --> 00:59:53.969 are talking about, I mean, this has been obvious 00:59:53.969 --> 00:59:56.650 to all of us, is that Donald Trump is kind of 00:59:56.650 --> 00:59:58.590 the classical narcissist.
