1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Hey, guys, ready or not, twenty twenty four is here, 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: and we here at breaking points, are already thinking of 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: ways we can up our game for this critical election. 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 2: We rely on our premium subs to expand coverage, upgrade 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 2: the studio ad staff, give you, guys, the best independent 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 2: coverage that is possible. If you like what we're all about, 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: it just means the absolute world to have your support. 8 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: But enough with that, Let's get to the show. All right. 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: Let's move on to some pretty noteworthy comments that are 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: being made on the Republican side about their economic plans. 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: We just got some footage of Mike Johnson talking about 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: their plans to continue to undermine go after dismantle repeal, 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: et cetera, the Affordable Care Act. Let's take a listen 14 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: to how that went. 15 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 3: Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, was campaigning in 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: Pennsylvania in a House district and was talking about Obamacare. 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: I think we have this exchange, let's play it. 18 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: Healthcare reform is going to be a big part of 19 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: the agenda. 20 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 4: When I say we're going to have a very versus 21 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 4: first hundred use agenda, we got a lot of things 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 4: on the table. 23 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: No Obamacare. 24 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 4: It. 25 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, the ACA is so deeply ingrained. We need massive 26 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: reform to make this work. 27 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 4: And we got a lot of ideas. 28 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: So he says, no Obamacare, says massive reform to the 29 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: healthcare system. 30 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: Obamacare is pretty popular. 31 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: You know, this is one of those things saga. Obamacare 32 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: is now at this point very popular. It's so popular 33 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: they no longer call it Obamacare. 34 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 5: They now call it the Affordable Care Act. 35 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: And healthcare is one of those issues that has been 36 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: when you when you ask people what their top issues are, 37 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: healthcare always ranks very high up there, and yet neither 38 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: campaign has made it a focal point. The Harris campaign 39 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: sometimes talks about like we're doucing prescription drug costs, but 40 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: the bigger ambitions around even a public option like that 41 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: is completely invisible. But Trump also has not talked about healthcare. 42 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: Last time around, he famously tried to repeal the Affordable 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Care Act and failed with the John McCain you know, 44 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: coming and deciding he wasn't going to do it. And 45 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: so you know, you still have the true believers like 46 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, who is the Speaker of the House, who 47 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: is you know, absolutely dedicated to repealing Thefordable Care Act. 48 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't say Obamacare is popular. I would more 49 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: say that repealing protections in Obamacare is unpopular because there 50 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: is a different I mean, if you look at it, 51 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: people hate the healthcare system, which is basically that's true 52 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: what it is, right, Yeah, but they hate Helcare, but. 53 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: They don't want to go back either to what it 54 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: was before because they want to maintain the coverge for 55 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: pre existing conditions and some of those reforms that have 56 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: been important. 57 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: That is the key. I mean, but in general, if 58 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: you ask people are like, do you like your healocritism? No, 59 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: our healthcare prices too? 60 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 4: Hi? 61 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 2: Yes, you know, like if you go down the yea absolutely. 62 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: Let me think that's what Republicans always delude themselves into 63 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: thinking that they'll be able to do. I mean, just 64 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: recall twenty eighteen blowout midterm election almost entirely because of 65 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: the ACA vote. You can ask any of the Republican candidates, 66 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: specifically in the swing states, every single one of them 67 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: blame the vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act as 68 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: one of the reasons they're lost. Martha McSally down in Arizona. 69 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: That's literally why Christen Cinema is in the Senate, which 70 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: is kind of wild to think about. This does get 71 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: to a broader question though, of what the hell is 72 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: going to happen if Donald Trump does win. Let's put 73 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: this up there on the screen and you can basically 74 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: find the signs for whatever you want. So currently this 75 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: is in the New York Times called the group at 76 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: the center of Trump's planning for a second term. Is 77 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: when you have not heard of I have heard of this. 78 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: I did a monologue aout of years ago. It's called 79 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: the America First Policy Institute. It is run by a 80 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: woman's whose name is Brooke Rollins. She was the ran 81 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: the Domestic Policy Council under Trump while he was in 82 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 2: the White House. This is one of those institutions which 83 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: has like Larry Kudlow and others on the board. 84 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 5: Huge She founded it with Larry Cudlow. 85 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: That's right, So I got Larry Cudlow. Linda McMahon, who 86 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: is an official part former small business under Donald Trump 87 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: now part of the transition team under Donald Trump. Also 88 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: very influential on that. You got a lot of billionaire donors. 89 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: If things go in this direction, where Brooke Rollins, for example, 90 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: becomes the chief of staff, which had been floated there 91 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: in the past. We have a very clear sign of 92 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: like what the so called like corporate direction is going 93 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: to look like for the Trump administration the second time around. Now, 94 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: the other countercase I guess to all of this is 95 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: that you do have factions, like within the Trump campaign itself, 96 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: of people who are not happy with Brooke Rollins or 97 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: do not agree with her direction. For example, Brooke Rollins 98 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: and kind of her ilk were very hard and pushing 99 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: against Jade Vance is the vice presidential pick. Now, clearly 100 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: he will be there in the White House if they 101 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: do win. So will he you know, I mean, why 102 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: would you want somebody like that who literally ran the 103 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: chief of staff? It could set up a fight around that. 104 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 2: You have Johnny mcintee as well previously, who worked in 105 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: the Trump administration. PPO had been attached to Project twenty 106 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: twenty five. But I think he's gotten more of a 107 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: past than everybody else's attached to Projective. 108 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 5: I've not the dude who just said that women shouldn't 109 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 5: be able to vote. 110 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: Well, he made a joke about that on this TikTok Chris, 111 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: that is correct. Yeah, he runs left really hard. I 112 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: forget exactly what his channel is called it's like something 113 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: date right or something like. Anyway, he's got a lot 114 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: of followers on TikTok, that's all. I know that guy. 115 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 2: Those people could very much not agree with Brook Rollins. 116 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: But I'm setting people up here for if an eventual 117 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: Trump wins, there are going to be some absolutely titanic 118 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: fights kind of around who's going to staff the White 119 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: House specifically, like what the foreign policy vision will be. 120 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: On the economic you know, you're gonna have Steve Bannon, 121 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,559 Speaker 2: who's very much like opposed to this type of wing 122 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: of the party. Will he be allowed back in there? 123 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: Will Rollins be the one that is there. It can 124 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: really set us up for some twenty seventeen era fights 125 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: like there were between like Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon 126 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: in the White House, or Gary Kohene and Steve Bannon, 127 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: or you know, Peter Navarro and Steve Mnusan. I know 128 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: this is probably ancient history some people, but those were very, 129 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 2: very consequential for their policy direction that the Trump White 130 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: House eventually ended up going in. 131 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there are a few things we 132 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: can already say for sure. I mean, they're going to 133 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: extend the tax cuts and jobs. 134 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: I like, that's like not a question. 135 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: Now, the significant tax break for billionaires, for corporations, the 136 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: wealthiest among us, I think the choice, you know, the 137 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: centering of Elon Musk is also incredibly significant. Elon is 138 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: like this, you know, hardcore, like let's cut two trillion 139 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: dollars from federal government spending, which by the way, is 140 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: more than all of the federal government discretionary budget. 141 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 5: He is a fan of Javier Malay, who. 142 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: Is like this, you know, positions himself as an arco 143 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: capitalist down in Argentina, and he's talking about how he 144 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: wants to put the country through this sort of like 145 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: economic shock therapy that is going to be deeply painful 146 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: in the short term. I played some of this in 147 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: my monologue the other day that you can listen to, 148 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: but just for people who didn't catch it. He said 149 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: in one of I think this was in one of 150 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: the like Twitter live things or whatever. He talked about 151 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: how Trump's agenda needs is going to cause hardship, temporary hardship, but. 152 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 5: That is necessary. Let's take a. 153 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 6: Listen to that as produce spending to look within our means, 154 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 6: And yeah, that necessarily both some some temporary hardship, but 155 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 6: it will ensure long term prosperity. 156 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: He sort of reemphasized this in another exchange on too 157 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: it can put d five guys up on the screen 158 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: where you have this one Twitter user. He's laying on 159 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: out what he thinks is going to happen in a 160 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: Trump term. He says, if Trump succeeds enforcing through mass deportations, 161 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: combined with Elon hacking away at the government, firing people 162 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: and reducing the deficit, there will be an initial severe overreaction. 163 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 5: In the economy. 164 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: This economy, propped up with debt and artificially suppressed wages, 165 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: markets will tumble. But when the storm passes and everyone 166 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: realizes we're on sounder footing, there will be a rapid 167 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: recovery to a healthier, sustainable economy. History could be made 168 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: in the coming two years, to which Elon Musk, who 169 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: again is the plan is to put him in charge 170 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: of this, you know, massive government oversight agency, says sounds 171 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: about right, so effectively like, yeah, we're going to cause 172 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: a severe market crash and depression in the short term, 173 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: no problem, which, by the way, is what's happening in 174 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: Argentina right now. 175 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say, like that's honest, and 176 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: I support that, actually support honesty, I support just being 177 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: real with people. I've said it here before. Mass deport 178 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: the program though of mass husteria. Well, first of all, no, 179 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: because first of all, it's also not gonna happen. I 180 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 2: tweeted this yesterday. We all need to stop pretending that 181 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are going to vote for 182 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: a two trillion dollar budget cut. It's never gonna happen. 183 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: If anything, they're gonna increase defense spending. I will call 184 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: it here right now. The deficit will go up under 185 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. They will extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, 186 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: they will increase military spending. They will maybe cut discretionary 187 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: spending by one or two percent, which is like point 188 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: zero zero one percent of the overall federal budget. They 189 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: won't touch entitlements, SOLI, security and Medicare funding, et cetera. 190 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 2: Will continue, and he will end. If he does win 191 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: an office with a significantly bigger picture of the on 192 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: the deficit that looks exactly like it is today, I 193 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: will call it here. There's no way any Republican or 194 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: Donald Trump administration will go in a different direction on 195 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: mass deportation. Fisher King is correct. I mean, look, this 196 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: gets to the heart of the entire debate. It is 197 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: probably good for overall top line GDP to have mass 198 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 2: immigration and specifically illegal immigrants. That's true if you look 199 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: at human beings as literally amic utils, and yes, there 200 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: will obviously be a market correction. I've been honest about 201 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: that before. I think people who support mass deportation should 202 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: as well. The question is what type of society do 203 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: you want to live in and what type of overall economy. 204 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 2: It's definitely not good for overall GDP necessarily to have 205 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: higher wages for people who do construction like that's obviously 206 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: going to increase quote unquote prices. Yes, it's true. We 207 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: should all be honest if you support that policy. Now, 208 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: do you think that's better in the long run, Yes, 209 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: I absolutely do. I mean I can't sit here and 210 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 2: say that tariffs are going to lower prices for everybody, 211 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: but I think it's good. I think it's important. You 212 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 2: know that washing machines are TVs that cost four hundred 213 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: dollars if you buy it for six hundred, but happens 214 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 2: to be able to mate here. Yeah, I think it's 215 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 2: worth it. Is it easy for me to say, absolutely, 216 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: you can vote your conscience and do whatever you want. 217 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: But that's kind of where I look at it. So, 218 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: first of all, the Elon two trillion thing, again, it 219 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: will never happen. It's almost not even worth taking seriously, like, 220 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: especially in a divided government or even with Donald Trump. 221 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: Look at the past record in terms of what the 222 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: deficit happened in terms of spending, like, there is no 223 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: indication that any of this happened, even if Elon is 224 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: in charge of what does it called the Department of 225 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: Government Government. 226 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: Efficient sage in order to promote his crypto favorite crypto. 227 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm still pro doge. I'm still holding disgusting, I'm 228 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: still holding on myself. 229 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 5: I mean, I guess, uh. There's a couple of things. 230 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: So, first of all, I think it's noteworthy that Trump 231 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: himself has embraced this austerity politics, which is the you know, 232 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: old school Paul Ryan Republican position, but. 233 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: It is popular too. People hate the federal government. 234 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 5: They like, yeah, they like the idea of it. 235 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: When it comes down to it, and it's your social 236 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: when it's your social security and medicare whatever get slashed, 237 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: that's another matter entirely. So that's number one, and number 238 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: two is I do think it's a strange argument to 239 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: be like, you know, uh, you should support this program 240 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: because it's not you're going to support this candidate who 241 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: embraces this program because the program he's pushing for isn't 242 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: actually going to happen, and you know, so you don't 243 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: get to pick and choose, like the parts that you 244 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: like and don't like. And this is what a lot 245 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: of the business community, by the way, has done with Trump, 246 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: where it's like, well, we don't really think he's going 247 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: to do the terrorists that are going to affect us. 248 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: We don't really think he's going to do the mass deportation. 249 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: We don't really think he's going to do these other things. Maybe, 250 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: but maybe he is going to like lower you know, 251 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: he probably is get to lower my taxes and the 252 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: pieces that I like that are going to be good 253 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: for me in my business he is going to do. 254 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: And I think we have to take them at their word. 255 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: So in any case, it's significant that Trump, who previously 256 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, sort of positioned himself against normal Republican austerity 257 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: politics of the Paul Ryan Tea Party era, has now 258 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: embraced Elon's idea of slashing two trillion dollars from the 259 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: federal government budget, which again sounds all well and good 260 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: until you realize that is more than all discretionary spending 261 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: and would have a huge impact on basically every single 262 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: federal government program, including ones that are very important to people. 263 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 5: Let's take a listen to that. 264 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: Your role for Elon b Elon Musk has a lot 265 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: of roles he could take because he's a very exceptional guy, 266 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: but he is a thing. He feels there's such waste, fraud, 267 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: and abuse in our budgets, and he's right. So I'm curious, Hacker, 268 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: do you feel like there's been a shift in Trump's 269 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: economic positioning? No, because I mean this is very different 270 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: from the way he positioned himself. 271 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: That that message is actually quite popular now. When it 272 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: comes down to it, people hate the government. People think 273 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: it's inefficient. It is inefficient. The Pentagon literally can't pass 274 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: an audit like in terms of cutting and all that. 275 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: There are certainly places that we could cut, but it's 276 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: not all that popular amongst Republicans when it comes down 277 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: to it, when appropriations happen and an actual federal budget, again, 278 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: you have to answer this question, do you think two 279 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: trillion dollars is going to get cut. Not in a 280 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 2: million years. Is Donald Trump going to cut Social Security 281 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 2: and Medicare? No? Absolutely not? Is what is Donald Trump 282 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: and the Republicans Congress actually going to pass TCJA? And 283 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: maybe if there's a Democratic House, they'll do some child 284 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: tax credit bargain to get that through. Half CTC, half 285 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: TCJA extension, some corporate tax cuts and others are going 286 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: to get left on the table, and the deficit it's 287 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: going to go up. Like this is where we have 288 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: to be real. Even if Evon was in charge of 289 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: the so called Department of Government Efficiency, Like again, mechanically, 290 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: people need to understand how the government works. What are 291 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: you gonna do. You're gonna ask the GAO, the Government 292 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: Accountability Office, to commission some blue ribbon report or whatever 293 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: that's going to bring back to you. It's going to 294 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: take a year to give you report about what can 295 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: be cut and what's not. But again, the way that 296 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: we know how government works is Congress has to sign 297 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: off on every single appropriation and the executive has basically 298 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,599 Speaker 2: zero authority outside of some very narrow definitions about what 299 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: they can and can't spend money on. Unless the Congress 300 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 2: literally agrees to it. So like this is where you're saying, like, 301 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: can't pick and choose. I'm not picking and choosing. I'm 302 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: being like totally real about what this will look like. 303 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: And frankly, this gets to a little bit of something 304 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: annoys me is Silicon Valley arrogance around the government where 305 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: they just claim things like you can cut two trillion dollars. 306 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, you don't know anything about Washington, Like if 307 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: you think that that's going to happen. The people who 308 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: are correct are the Wall Street guys who are like, yeah, 309 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: there's no way that across the board tariff is going 310 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: to happen, which is again true because it would take 311 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: an Act of Congress. At best, you'll have soybeans, steel, 312 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 2: and crops get hit with tariffs again, which is what 313 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: happened last time, or critical medals or whatever like they 314 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: can in the Commerce Department, how our taxes are probably 315 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: going to go down, and they're correct like that is 316 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: because that's a fullsome picture of Donald Trump plus the 317 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: Republican Congress. If they have united government, and even if 318 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: they have divided government, some version of that is going 319 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: to get through. So this is just like a very 320 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: realistic view of what this looks like. And if you 321 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: believe the Elon's going to cut two trillion dollars, you're 322 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: an idiot. Honestly. 323 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: How do you feel about the closing pitch of the 324 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: campaign of We're going to repeal the Affordable Care Act 325 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: and crush the Yeah. 326 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: That's stupid. Okay, Well, in terms of the Affordable Care Act, 327 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: that's actually the dumbest one. On mass immigration, people do 328 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: support mass deportation, specifically Republicans, but on the issue of 329 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: Affordable Care Act, wouldn't touch it with a ten foot poll. 330 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: And it certainly does get to the political genius of 331 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson. But look, people who are out there, you 332 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: should also be honest. Yeah, that's what Republicans support, you know, 333 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: the mean, mean median Republican in Congress. They want to 334 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: repeal the Affordable Care Acts. So if you care about that, 335 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: you should definitely consider that whenever you're voting. I'm not 336 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: going to sit here in cover for them. They're idiots 337 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: in terms of what they think. 338 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: All right, let's go ahead and move on to the 339 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: latest comments from Bill Clinton on the campaign trail stumping 340 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris in the state of Michigan and talking 341 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: about his view of Israel's war in Gaza, let's go ahead. 342 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 4: And play that. I have to be careful what I 343 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 4: say because there's only one president at a time, and 344 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 4: none of us can get ahead of where we're going. 345 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 4: But I think we're going to have to essentially start 346 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: again on the peace process. And I understand why young 347 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 4: Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan, I think too many 348 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 4: people have died since. I get that. But if you 349 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 4: lived in one of those kiboots them in Israel, right 350 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 4: next to Gaza, where the people there were the most 351 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 4: pro friendship with Palestine, most pro two state solution of 352 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 4: any of the Israeli communities were the ones right next 353 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 4: to Gaza, and Hamas butchered them. And so then the 354 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: people who criticized it are essentially said, yeah, but look 355 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 4: how many people you've killed in Retalent, So how many 356 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 4: is enough for you to kill to punish them for 357 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 4: the terrible things they did. That all sounds nice until 358 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: you realize what would you do if it was your 359 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 4: family and you hadn't done anything but support a homeland 360 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 4: for the Palacinians and one day they come for you 361 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 4: and slaughter the people in your village. You would say, well, 362 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 4: you will have to forgive me. I'm not keeping score 363 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 4: that way. It isn't how many we've had to kill, 364 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 4: because Hamas make sure that they're shielded by civilians. They'll 365 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: force you to kill civilians if you want to defend yourself. 366 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: Andy went on from there. So basically, nothing is Israel's fault. 367 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: The unbelievable devastation that we've seen in Gaza, where it's 368 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: just total annihilation, every building, school, moss, hospital, etc. The 369 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: kids buried under the rubble, the starvation, whatever, none of 370 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: it is Israel's fault. Is just all the fault of Hamas, 371 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: who you know, are the ones that use Palestinians as 372 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: human shields, and so therefore it's all it's all justified, 373 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: it's all just self defense. Which at this point, if 374 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: you are still arguing that this is just self defense, 375 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: like I just I don't know what to tell you, 376 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: because we're talking about not just Gaza. We're talking about 377 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: the West Bank, we're talking about Lebanon, we're talking about Syria, 378 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: we're talking about Iran, Like, how many. 379 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 5: Places do you have to attack? 380 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: Actually, I just saw an analysis this morning saga that 381 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: there's been over a thousand buildings in Lebanon destroyed, which 382 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: you know has wella didn't have anything to do and 383 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: the Lebanese people certainly didn't have anything to do with 384 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: the October seventh attacks. So from a political perspective, this 385 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: was in Michigan. This is the place where the Harris campaign, 386 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: you know, has been trying to improve their standing with 387 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: groups of voters that have understandably fled them Er of 388 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: American and Muslim American voters in particular. 389 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 5: But by the way, you know, I don't like. 390 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: When we keep it that because there are vast loss 391 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: of the Democratic base, including young voters, including non white 392 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: voters who are deeply concerned on a moral basis about 393 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's support for this gemicydle policy visa Vigaza. And 394 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: here you have Bill Clinton in this critical swing state. 395 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: You know, definitely not the message that they want to 396 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: be putting out there. 397 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's just very much like an old man 398 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 2: moment takes to the campaign trail. Certainly. Yeah, there's a 399 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 2: lot to say I think about just in terms of 400 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: like Biden and Clinton and a lot of the flashbacks 401 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: I know, why they have these nineties politicians. 402 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 5: Campaigning for them. 403 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, look, he's he was a 404 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: great I mean, he was very popular. He's one of 405 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: the most effective politicians of all time. 406 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 5: But he's old. 407 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 2: Now he is old. 408 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: I mean he has lost many steps. 409 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: It was McDonald's when he stopped eat McDonald's and he 410 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: went vegan, like whenever he gave that up after his 411 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 2: like fifth Quinn Tipple bypass or whatever. 412 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was causing problems for Hillary back into. 413 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: Lack. 414 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: Voters said like Obamas should be getting his coffee and 415 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: like that. 416 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 5: Remember, yeah, I do. 417 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a South Carolinas eight. 418 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: It's been a minute since this man was effective out 419 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: on the campaign trail, and you're still rolling his old 420 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: ass out, Like what are we really doing here? Just 421 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: in terms of strategy. He is younger than Joe Biden though. 422 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, wild true? 423 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 4: Is he? 424 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 7: I think? 425 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 5: Guess maybe he's like the same age as Trump. 426 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: I think he's seventy eight. Yes, he must be there, right, yeah, 427 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 2: hold on, that makes sense. 428 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: Let me look, Yes, seventy eight though, the same age, right, incredible. 429 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: Trump kept eating the McDonald's and Bill Clinton went away, 430 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: and you know it was a big. 431 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: Misakeake McDonald's actually is a key part of the American president. 432 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 5: I just don't get the porter right now. 433 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: The more unhealthy that you are, the better president that 434 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: you are in my opinion. All Right, but let's continue 435 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 2: with the Israel stuff. There's actually an interesting story I 436 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: wanted to highlight. Let's put this up there on the 437 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 2: screen from the Times of Israel where Trump apparently, according 438 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: to that Israeli sources, told Netanyah, who he wants the 439 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: Gaza war over by the time he enters office. He said, 440 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: according to Nettyah, who's several times, win the war quickly, 441 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: do whatever you need to do, but basically you need 442 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 2: to wrap it up by the time that I take office, 443 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 2: because he doesn't want to deal with the political and 444 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: the geopolitical fallout of that situation. Now obviously kind of 445 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: a difficult prospect because what it would mean would be 446 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 2: ending the Lebanon incursion. Ending I mean, how do you 447 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 2: what does even the end of quote unquote war in 448 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 2: Gaza even look like? Because that would require a literal withdrawal. 449 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: And that's that is the key piece right there. Ryan 450 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: and Normally had a very interesting guest on yesterday I 451 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: encourage every ready to listen because what Boebe is hoping 452 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: is because I mean, I think it's pretty clear Bbe 453 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: would like Trump to win. The overwhelming majority of Israelis 454 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: would like Trump to win. Like it's the polling is 455 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: not even really all that close, and the question isn't okay? 456 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, at some point the you know, the aggressive 457 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: level of bombing that we've seen, at some point that 458 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: ends and then what comes next? 459 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 5: And Bbe, in order to keep his. 460 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Coalition together, effectively needs to resettle Gaza. Like That's what 461 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: Ben Gavier and Smotrich very affirmatively want, That's what other 462 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: LIQUD party ministers have been going to these resettlement conferences. 463 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: And the concern from Bibi is that Kamala may actually 464 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: now you can you know, have they drawn any real 465 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: hard ladlines now at this point noo, but may actually 466 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: make the moves to keep them from resettling Gaza. And 467 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: if he's not able to do that, then his coalition 468 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: effectively falls apart. So we know Trump is He's talked 469 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: about you know, water for Kushner talked about Gaza's waterfront 470 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: property and potential development possibilities. We know that Mary Maddilson 471 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: as part of condition for her overwhelming massive support in 472 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: dollars for Donald Trump, wants to be able also to 473 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: annex the West Bank. So, you know, I think part 474 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: of the game here in terms of what Bibe wants 475 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: out of this political context is and out of this 476 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: political contest, is what comes next? Am I allowed to 477 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: just move forward with resettlement and ethnic cleansing or is 478 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: there going to be any sort of opposition whatsoever in. 479 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 5: The White House to that? 480 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 2: I think really what Trump is Trump doesn't care necessarily 481 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: about that situation. But for him and his people, they 482 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 2: just don't want to deal literally with the ongoing war, 483 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: and so they're like, look, man, you need to speed 484 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 2: it up. And by the way, it's beneficial to them 485 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 2: because it causes problems for the Democratic candidate. Kamala can't 486 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 2: even do an event without getting interrupted by Gaza protests. 487 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: At this point, Let's go next to jd Vance Spoke 488 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: made some interesting crypto comments where if you read between 489 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: the lines, the pro Israel lobby won't be too happy 490 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 2: about this one. On the Tim Dillon Show. Let's take 491 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 2: a listen to that e too, please. 492 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 7: Obviously, you know Israel has the right to defend itself. 493 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 7: But America's interest is sometimes going to be distinct, like 494 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 7: sometimes we're going to have overlapping interests and sometimes we're 495 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 7: going to have distinct interests. And our interest, I think 496 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 7: very much is in not going to war with Iran. 497 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 7: We recognize, okay, Israeli's Golfareb states don't like Iran. So 498 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 7: let the Israelis and the golf Arab states provide the 499 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 7: counterbalance to Iran. America does and have to constantly police 500 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 7: every region of the world. We should empower people to 501 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 7: police their own regions of the world. Right and one. 502 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 7: We would save a lot of money too, We'd save 503 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 7: a lot of focus. But unfortunately, I think Harris she's 504 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 7: got this weird thing where I actually think she kind 505 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 7: of likes war. Maybe she feels like she feels like 506 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 7: a tough guy about it. 507 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: I don't know why it is. 508 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 7: But they've actually pursued even though they say they want 509 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 7: to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties, they pursued the pathway that 510 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 7: maximizes those casualties. They say that they're pro Israel, they've 511 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 7: pursued the pathway that has prolonged the war as long 512 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 7: as possible, which is bad for Israel, and they seem 513 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 7: to be sort of sleep walking US into war with Iran. 514 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 2: It's like the dumbest of all possible worlds. Hmm, all right, 515 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 2: what did you make of that? Well, it's like a 516 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: crypto that, by the way, is about as close as 517 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: you're ever going to get too to some quasi Israel 518 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 2: criticism or whatever in a world where Miriam Madelson's shelling 519 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 2: out the big dollars buzz I appreciate it. 520 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: True, I mean, I think it is is clear that 521 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign has been much smarter in pursuing a 522 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: strategy of trying to persuade key demographic groups that they 523 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: would that you know, they're a placed that they can 524 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: go if they're disgusted. Now, I think if we look 525 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: at Trump's comments, for one thing. 526 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 5: They are not in line with They're very different. 527 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not in line with what Jad's saying, shall 528 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: we put it, trying to use this Palestinian as a slur. 529 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: Trump thinks that Israel should strike Iranian nuclear facilities, which 530 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, would help to escalate the war in the region. 531 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: Trump is very hawkish, extremely hawkish because of the Iran 532 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: when he was president so the idea that he had 533 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: any instinct towards withdrawing from the region is just you know, 534 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: I mean, especially in terms of conflict with Iran, is 535 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: just not really true. Actually, Jade Vance, one of the 536 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: things in the vetting document was that he was critical 537 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: of Trump on his assassination of customs solo money. 538 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 5: Jad was right about that, by the way. 539 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: And so you know, when you look at the totality 540 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: of the mess coming out from the Trump from the 541 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: Trump campaign, most of it is very much in line 542 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: with Mary Maddeilson, Rudy Giuliani, Trump himself. You know, the 543 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: problem is that Biden's holding them back. You don't hear 544 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: too much of the perspective that's being offered here from 545 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: jade Vance, where he correctly, by the way, points out 546 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: that even if you are just narrowly trying to pursue 547 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: the interests of Israel, this has been damaging. Yeah, I mean, 548 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: the country economically has suffered greatly. The governing coalition is 549 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, constantly on the brink of collapse. You have 550 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: massive foreign direct investment that is fleeing the country. You 551 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: have people, human beings who have left the country, and 552 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: you know, contrary to the idea that all of this 553 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: war making throughout the region is going to make israelis 554 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: any safer. It's only put them at more risk because 555 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: now you still have people who are evacuated from northern 556 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: Israel who are unable to return and know one insight 557 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: with that either. So I mean, he is correct in 558 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: that point. I just don't think that that is the 559 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that that is the view of Trump. 560 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: It's certainly not the view of Trump's donors. And you know, 561 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: Trump is happy to sort of let people go out 562 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: and freelance whatever they think is going to be effective 563 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: to appeal to that audience in the moment, doesn't necessarily 564 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: reflect any sort. 565 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 5: Of a broader ship. 566 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: But they've been much much more intentional about trying to 567 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: do you know, the Muslim outreach and the Arab American outreach, 568 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: especially in the state of Michigan. 569 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 5: And that shows and the polling numbers. 570 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right. In fact, we have evidence of 571 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: that strategy. Can we put E four please up on 572 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: the screen here? You had a letter from Trump. He 573 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: said to the Lebanese American community, during my administration, we 574 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: had peace in the Middle East. We will have peace again. Soon. 575 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 2: I will fix problems caused by Kamala and stop the 576 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: suffering and destruction in Lebanon. I want to see the 577 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: Middle East return to real peace, a lasting piece, and 578 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: we will get it done properly so it doesn't repeat 579 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 2: itself every five or ten years. So that obviously directed 580 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 2: at the Michigan American vote. And it's interesting too because 581 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: the Trump campaign is basically like scrolling through ethnic minorities, yeah, 582 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: and then releasing letters to it, which look, maybe it's 583 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: the correct way, not the way I would like to 584 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 2: see politics. But he had another post where he's like, 585 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: to all the Coptic Christians out there, I will stand 586 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 2: up for you in the Middle East. I will make 587 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 2: sure that we will not what was the whole Azerbaijan thing, 588 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 2: you know, Ozer by joh Oser a ZERI uh, you know, 589 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 2: aggression on between Azerbaijohn and Armenia. But my point is 590 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: just that he seems to be just scrolling through these 591 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: like subgroups and just putting out a lever where you 592 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: know it could it really could be impactful. 593 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if he sees the election that way, 594 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: then that explains why they don't like the Puerto Rico. 595 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: Yes, I agree with you. Again, this is not how 596 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: I think politics should be, Like do your Lebanese Americans 597 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: or whatever, let me do policy based on your homeland. 598 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: I think it's a little weird. 599 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, it's frankly more something that 600 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: you saw, Like it feels very Democrats in twenty six, 601 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: like let me put out a letter and have on 602 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: stage someone from your specific like demographic identity group. Feels 603 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: like the direction that the Trump campaign is going in. 604 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: But you know, with regard to Arab Americans, Muslim Americans 605 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: less so young people who I think you know, are 606 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: either going to vote for Jill Stein by and large 607 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: or they're just not going to vote. I think obviously 608 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: there's a huge opening here that is no one's fault 609 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: but Kamala Harrison, Joe Biden and the horrific policy that 610 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: they have pursued, which has been deeply destructive and deeply immoral, 611 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: and which she has been unable to separate herself on. 612 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: And then you know, you have people like Bill Clinton 613 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 1: who go out there and say the things that he says, 614 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: and it's not really even though he said the quiet 615 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: part out loud, but his comments are perfectly in line 616 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: with the Biden administration strategy and the way that they've 617 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: approached things like that is the position is Israel always, 618 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: no matter or what Israel does, we'll stand by them. 619 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: It's always that self defense. It's never their fault. The 620 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: civilian death is never their fault. They bear absolutely no 621 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: culpability whatsoever, even and we bear no culpability even though 622 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,959 Speaker 1: it's our bombs being sent, et cetera, et cetera. So 623 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, Bill Clinton is out there effectively articulating, just 624 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: in a more clear cut fashion, what the actual policy 625 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: of Biden Harris has been. 626 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 2: Definitely, let's move on to Stop the Steal. Wanted to 627 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: do this segment. We'll round it out today. We think 628 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: we will try and make this a consistent part of 629 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: the theme if Trump does end up losing the election. 630 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure you're going to hear a lot more about this. 631 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: But one of the things you did last time back 632 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: in twenty twenties, we just went through every single, like 633 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: major claim around stop the Steal, every lawsuit, what the 634 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 2: adjudication was, what the litigation looks like, what the judge ruling, 635 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 2: what the claims. So we're going to start first with 636 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,719 Speaker 2: Donald Trump He made some comments while he was doing 637 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 2: the garbage thing around the election. Let's take a list so. 638 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 5: From statuside which heart would be defatient, but not say 639 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 5: that the election was stolen. 640 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 4: It was if it was a corrupt election, that could happen. 641 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 6: But so far we're doing pretty well. 642 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 4: Uh. 643 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 6: They found a lot. 644 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 4: Of smaller things in Pennsylvania's you know, and I think 645 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 4: they've been corrupted and uh and taken care of they 646 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 4: were they were corrupt. They were corrupted, but I think 647 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 4: it's been taken care of. 648 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 2: You called for law enforcement. I was gonna say, you 649 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: anticipate to declare victory on election night. I hope they're 650 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: we're going to declare victory. I mean they spend all 651 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 2: that money on machines. 652 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 3: Paper ballots goes to eight percent, a water machine goes 653 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 3: eight percent. 654 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: All right, so there you go, and said maybe, you know, 655 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: in terms of we'll look out for if it's a 656 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: corrupt election, but I don't think it'll be a corrupt election. 657 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: Nonetheless, there also he also put out on true social 658 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is cheating and getting caught at large scale levels 659 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: rarely seen before. Report cheating to authorities. Law enforcement must 660 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: act now. So I mean, you know, we laid out 661 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: the he is clearly and Republicans in general are trying 662 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: to lay the groundwork of like this if we don't win. 663 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: It was stolen, right, it was rigged, And there's a 664 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: lot more concerted effort in advance to lay that groundwork 665 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: than there was last time around. You can go watch 666 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: our segment about how this could all go down, the 667 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: things that make it. You know, this sort of premeditated 668 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: and very well funded. By the way effort in advance 669 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: is something that is actually worse than last time around. 670 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: On the other hand, you know, the Electoral Account Act. 671 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not the president of the United States, 672 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: so that puts, you know, a lot on the other 673 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: side of the scale. But it's very clear what he's 674 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: trying to lay the groundwork to do, which you know, 675 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: also with regards to this Pennsylvania thing, and Pennsylvania has 676 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: been a big focus on the right side, I'm sure 677 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: e's seen as well, Like you know, this kind of 678 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: bit them in the ass previously in Georgia when they 679 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: were running in these runoff elections, both of which they 680 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: lost after Trump had just lost because there was so 681 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: much conversation about how the vote had been rigged and 682 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: the election was stolen, et cetera, et cetera, that they 683 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: depressed their own turnout because people felt like, oh, well, 684 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: if it's just going to be stolen, like why bother 685 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: vote whatsoever. So there is a risk in advance, too, 686 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: of trying to in advance convinced voters that like, oh, 687 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: this thing is rigged and people are cheating at large 688 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: scale levels rarely seen before. 689 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: As Trump says in his true social press Right, So 690 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 2: let's go through. So did a roundup on social media 691 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: of all the big controversions. We're going to start with 692 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: this one. Let's put this up there from Michigan. This 693 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: is from the Michigan Secretary of State, Joscelyn Benson. Now, 694 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: according to the Secretary of State of Michigan, there are 695 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 2: quote issues with dominion voter access terminals and counties that 696 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 2: use them. In the voter access terminal, specifically, it appears 697 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 2: with the terminals that are handicapped assisting. Now, voters using 698 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 2: this on election day will either have to vote straight 699 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 2: ticket or manualists put their ballot. Unlike how Michigan voters 700 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 2: usually have the option to select straight party option and 701 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 2: then override their party selection for certain races. Benson said 702 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 2: that this was an issue that has frustrated officials in 703 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 2: places where these machines are used. Quote. I think all 704 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 2: of us who use MISSI dominion machines were unhappy to 705 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 2: learn about this during the testing period as early voting began. 706 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 2: So we are working to seek accountability on that front 707 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 2: and working with our clerks to ensure voters are aware 708 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 2: of this programming issue. Again, this appears to be what 709 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 2: is it in the assisted ballot casting part of the 710 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 2: area from early voting, So it's not all but of 711 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 2: course wanted to go ahead and flag it here, and 712 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 2: it is one that has already been acknowledged by the 713 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 2: Secretary of State, of course, and then also has been 714 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 2: a nationwide thing that said I don't know, you can 715 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: look at it either way. People sent it and were like, well, 716 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 2: this is evidence that there's problems. I'm like, yeah, But 717 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 2: I mean, if your evidence of a quote unquote problem 718 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 2: or cheating, why would then the Secretary of State come 719 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 2: out and acknowledge it and say that we are working 720 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 2: on it. So look, nobody's going to sit here and 721 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: claim that there's no issues or whatever. But it almost 722 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 2: seems like the opposite where they're coming out acknowledging in 723 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 2: the future talking about this quote unquote fix and exactly 724 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 2: which type of ballots it can affect. So regardless, you 725 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: can just say that's the explanation for what it is, 726 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: and if it comes, you know, in the future a 727 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 2: subject to some loss or whatever, this is the origin. 728 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a great point. It's also not clear 729 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: which side this would theoretically benefit. The idea is just 730 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,919 Speaker 1: like it makes it those particular machines make it more 731 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: difficult to split ticket instead of just straight D or 732 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: straight R. So again it's not really even clear which 733 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: side that would potentially benefit. But it just makes it 734 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: more cumbersome for people who are voting at these disabled 735 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: access terminals, which is unfortunate but not cheating. 736 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 5: It's just like more cumbersome for them. 737 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: And I think it's smart that she announced this in 738 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: advance to sort of pre but any potential allegations after 739 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: the fact. 740 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. But yeah, by the way, an election to 741 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: election lecture for election people just say it all out 742 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 2: in the future and avoid the mess of next time. 743 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 2: Let's go to the next part. Let's put this up 744 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 2: there on the screen. This was another big one. You 745 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 2: probably saw it everywhere ABC News sixteen WNEP the affiliate 746 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 2: people were saying, look, they already called it for Kamala Harris. Well, 747 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 2: the alleged response or the reason for why they had 748 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: this what was a reporting for Harris and Trump that 749 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 2: showed up in the middle of a Formula one race 750 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 2: on ESPN ABC affiliate was that there was some graphics 751 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 2: testing package that they were doing that appeared to have 752 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 2: up on the screen. I also think we should just interrogate, 753 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 2: like the We should just interrogate the thought process here, Like, 754 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 2: is the thought process that the media is going to 755 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 2: rig the election by pre calling it for Harris and 756 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,479 Speaker 2: they're going to work then with the Secretary of State 757 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 2: and Pennsylvania to just put up fake numbers. And why 758 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 2: would you then do a dry run ahead of time? 759 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 2: Like what is the logical explant? This is where the 760 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 2: low IQ nature of this stuff honestly just driving me crazy. 761 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 2: What is more likely a graphics thing or a concerted 762 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 2: effort by w NEP to pre call the election? Like 763 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 2: what world do you think living in here? All right? 764 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 2: And look, I already know there's gonna be some butt 765 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 2: hurt Republicans in the comments being like ooh, fake whatever. 766 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 2: But it's like, look, be real with yourself. If you 767 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 2: believe that, honestly, you're an idiot, Like I don't know 768 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 2: what else to tell you. Yeah, if you really believe 769 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 2: that that is a concerted effort to like steal the 770 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 2: election by WNP ABC affiliate who put up the wrong graphic. 771 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 2: Because local news graphics teams are of course the most 772 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 2: crack in the business. I'm just like, what are we 773 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 2: doing here? Is this just me working and working here 774 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 2: to know? So obviously, how many times do you watch 775 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 2: the show and the wrong graphic goes up on. 776 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 1: This right, as people who have put up for wrong 777 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: graphics plenty of times in the room, no offense, It's true. 778 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: It happens the best of us. As someone who's been 779 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: part of network like MSNBC election coverage, all of the networks, 780 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, they preload fake election results in order to 781 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: test out like how it looks state by state and 782 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: make sure there's stuff is running. In fact, we just 783 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: did a test here, Mac and Griffin did a test 784 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: of our election graphics literally yesterday, guys. 785 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 2: And it could have been mistakenly put on YouTube, you know, 786 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 2: only they uploaded uploaded. 787 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: They uploaded the clip but for you know, I guess 788 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: private or whatever only, but you know, very easy to 789 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: accidentally click the wrong thing and it goes public and 790 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: then oh my god, we're part of the election conspiracy. 791 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: So just to ask yourself, Aukham's razor, which is more likely. 792 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: At the same time, we have had some a few 793 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: wild incidents occurring at polling stations during the early vote. 794 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 5: We can put this up on the screen. 795 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: A machete wielding young Trump supporter was arrested on a 796 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,760 Speaker 1: variety of charges for menacing people who were going to vote. 797 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: Believe this occurred in Florida, so they held a Neptune 798 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: Beach Police Department held a media briefing following the rest 799 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 1: of man in connection with an armed disturbance that occurred 800 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: at the Beaches Branch Library, a polling location. You can 801 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: see him there with the Trump signs and the machete 802 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: and I don't know what he thought he was doing, 803 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: but it was pretty, uh, menacing, stupid and illegal. 804 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 2: So he was arrested. 805 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 5: Good work with that, so and he was arrested. 806 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 2: He was arrested. 807 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: This one, Yeah, this is really wild. Put this up 808 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: on the screen. So this dude who ran for I 809 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: believe Congress. Yes in uh this is Kansas City. So 810 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: former GOP candidate he stole ballots in They describe a 811 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: scheme to create controversy so effectively, he got invited because 812 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: he's sort of like a local you know, guys well known, 813 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 1: he ran for Congress, etcetera, et cetera. So he got 814 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: invited to this public test they were doing of their 815 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: election system. Part of the test was to demonstrate to 816 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: the public, like, this is all clean and free and fair, 817 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: and we've got an organized system, et cetera. So he 818 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: goes to this test and it was livestream the whole thing, 819 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: so people could see everything that was happening, which is 820 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: how he got caught. And he stole two ballots, folded 821 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: them up and put them in his pocket, and then 822 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: starts whispering to someone like, oh, the count of the 823 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: ballots is wrong. 824 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 5: I think they're missing some ballots, blah blah blah. 825 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: After he was the one who stole the ballots, and 826 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: since it was on the live stream, he got caught. 827 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: But before he was caught and people went back through 828 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: the live stream and saw this all happen, he went 829 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: on a Facebook live and was talking about how, oh, 830 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: there's election fraud and there's short multiple ballots, blah blah blah. 831 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: Again because he's the one that stole the ballots. So 832 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: this was an effort to, you know, try to create 833 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 1: a narrative about how the election's rigged and it's stolen 834 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: and you can't trust the results blah blah blah. 835 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 5: And this guy got caught. 836 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: Red handed being the one doing the ballot manipulation and 837 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: you know, stealing these ballots during the test. 838 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 5: So amazing stuff. 839 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 2: Two more election updates. There was one that came out 840 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 2: of Michigan. There was allegedly there was some one voter 841 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 2: id where multiple voter IDs have been linked to duplicate 842 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 2: ballots in Michigan. The Michigan Secretary of State is confirmed 843 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 2: to the RNC that those duplicates will not be counted, 844 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 2: and it was a glitch in the system. You know, 845 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 2: if anything, the infrastructure at this point for election integrity 846 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 2: and all that is so gigantic on the Republican side, 847 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 2: hundreds of billions of dollars have now been spent on 848 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 2: this with watchdogs, lawsuits, lawsuits, lawyers and all these other 849 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 2: people that they are watching and investigating almost every single thing, 850 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 2: so we will continue to do so, and in almost 851 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 2: every case you're either been responsive or whatever, or it 852 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 2: just turned out to be total bullshit. The other one 853 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 2: that has come up now is the judge has extended 854 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 2: mail balloting in Bucks County. There was a whole lawsuit 855 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 2: about this. I just thought I would mention it where 856 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 2: they were trying to close early voting at I think 857 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 2: it was a deadline of five pm on October twenty nine. 858 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 2: The judge their rule that violated Pennsylvania election Code and 859 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 2: that they will then extend normal early voting for normal 860 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 2: business hours before the close of business on November one. 861 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 2: So I guess you still have a day and a 862 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 2: half or so to go and to take it advantage of 863 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 2: that they are in terms of the timeframe. I think 864 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 2: they also limited it from eight am to five pm. 865 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 2: But yeah, there you go, so look into that if 866 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 2: you live in Bucks County, PA. Beautiful place by the way, 867 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 2: New Hope, Pennsylvania. Yeah. 868 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: I think overall, one thing we noted last time is 869 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: that the election apparatus really is a patchwork. You really 870 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: are dependent on these individual local counties to run this election. 871 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: And so of course there are going to be anomalies. 872 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: There are going to be glitches. There are go every election, 873 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: there's you know, people are upset because they had to 874 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: wait in line too long or they feel that you know, 875 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: there's always there are every election, there are going to 876 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: be some issues that crop up because it's human beings 877 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 1: trying to do a thing on mass and jurisdictions across 878 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: the entire country at a time of a lot of 879 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: heightened anxiety, tension, et cetera. So just take all of 880 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: that in because there is something that is you know, 881 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: goes awry or whatever, they don't have enough ballots, whatever happens, 882 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: that is not evidence of a mass coordinated scheme. 883 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 5: It's evidence that human beings. 884 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: Are fallible and there are there will be some technical 885 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: issues in glitches on election day. That is I can 886 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 1: tell you with one hundred percent the case. 887 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 2: Right, and ye, look, if it does look connected, if 888 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 2: you can prove it, send me the evidence. I'd love 889 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 2: to see it. Please. I beg you to send it 890 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 2: to me. If we give it's the story of the century. 891 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 2: If you could prove it, send it. I'll take a look. Yeah. 892 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 2: And then just last thing on that, because everyone's always 893 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 2: like going Oh, why can't we be like Brazil or 894 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 2: France or India. Well, because we have this little thing 895 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 2: called federalism. So you should ask yourself, do you really 896 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 2: want the federal government to run all elections in this country? 897 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely not, No, we don't want that. I don't want 898 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 2: that at least us. Well that's well, that's a different 899 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 2: story in terms of rule, but I'm saying in terms 900 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 2: of running it, you're running the overall election. That's a 901 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 2: terrible idea and is the absolute antithesis of the electoral 902 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 2: college and specifically of federalism itself. So that's how it's 903 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 2: always been. I think it's probably better, if anything, the 904 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 2: decentral system certainly as its annoyances in terms of why 905 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 2: it takes forever and all of that. But the alternative, 906 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 2: you know, in a French or an Indian or whatever system, 907 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 2: is that the government itself is the one that runs it, 908 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 2: which obviously is a massive conflict of interest there. 909 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, indeed, But yeah, I would like I personally 910 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 1: would like to see federal set like consistent rules institute 911 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: across the jurisdiction so that everybody has. 912 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 5: The same rules when it comes to mail in ballot 913 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 5: or Yeah, voter early, in person, voterize. 914 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: Like let's just have yeah, the convicted, you know, felons, Like, 915 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: let's just have it be standard so that you don't 916 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 1: have the right to vote in one state but not 917 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: have the right to vote in another, which I personally 918 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 1: think is preposterous, but in any case, that's. 919 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 2: The system we have. All right, Uh, that was fun. 920 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see show tomorrow. 921 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: Ron Emily, We're going to do a little remote like 922 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 1: election preview thing so we can break down whatever comes 923 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 1: out today, latest polls, et cetera. 924 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 5: So make sure to join us for that. 925 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 2: That's right, we'll see then.
