WEBVTT - Mike Madrid & Kimberlé Crenshaw 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.160 Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics, 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.120 where we discussed the top political headlines with some of 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:12.760 today's best minds. And Americans have spent twenty four billion 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.960 dollars extra in gas since Trump started his war in Iran. 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.120 We have such a great jow for you today. The 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:23.040 host of the Latino Vote podcast, Mike Madrid, stops by 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:28.800 to talk about Republicans being completely out of options before 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.360 the midterms. Then we'll talk to civil rights advocate and 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:39.199 law professor Gimberley Crenshaw about her new memoir, Backtalker in 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.240 American Memoir. But first of the news, Smiley. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.919 The budget for the ballroom, the big beautiful ballroom, four 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.760 hundred million dollars. But since we have the bootlicker Congress 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.400 that loves to say yes, sir, may I have more, 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.680 they want to give them a billion dollars because they 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.120 don't give a fuck about being conservative or saving our 0:00:58.200 --> 0:00:58.880 tax dollars. 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:00.000 Yeah, this is. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.120 An amazing story in the fact that it is just 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.039 shows that these people don't believe in anything. So Republicans 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.679 got Trump into office and they said that they were 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.399 going to do what cut the deficit, They were going 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.440 to stop waste fraud and abuse. And you know who 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.840 was the face of that, the richest man in the world, 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:23.440 Elon Musk. Well, fast forward. They're not so interested in waste, fraud, 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.839 and abuse anymore, except if they're doing the waste, the fraud, 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.920 and the abuse. And here we are. Republicans demand one 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.119 billion dollars for Trump's ballroom. Now you'll remember that I 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.080 was told that taxpayers were not going to pay anything 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.880 for this ballroom, and instead of that, we're paying a 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.240 billion dollars. So I don't know how that works, but 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.120 now we are paying a billion dollars in taxpayer money. 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:53.920 And it is in this reconciliation package. It is for 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.160 security and adjustments and upgrades. That's the waste, fraud, and 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:02.520 abuse right there, related to the ballroom's construction. An additional 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:07.520 thirty billion for Ice. You'll remember ICE as having already 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.600 billions and billions of dollars which they used to murder 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.840 American citizens and jail children. Three point five billion for 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.720 customs and border patrol. I wonder how much of that 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.760 is for Christy Nome horseback riding videos. Oh, actually she's 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.240 been fired, so that money has already been spent. This 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.680 is Chuck Grassley. Remember Chuck Grassley, the pretend normal Republican 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.040 who is ten thousand years old. Well, this is Chuck Grassley. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.440 This is the Senate Judiciary Committee, and they're taking action 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.440 to provide for federal law enforcement and safer streets to 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.040 the American families, because that's what this is really about. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.600 Safer streets for the American family is a billion dollars. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.640 Hold On, he may be concerned about safer streets. He's 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.120 tweeted numerous times about hitting deer on the streets with 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:53.600 his car. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.960 Listen, he is not a good driver. He is a 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.680 very good vacuumer. If you go on, if you are 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.680 on X, which we do not recommend by any stretch 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.440 of the imagination giving money to Elon Mush, but if 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.920 you are on there, you will see that Charles Grassley, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.040 who is nine thousand years old, has a vacuum. It 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.440 has a name, and we're all going to die. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:19.760 But we should talk a little bit more about this 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.520 because this spending bill really is just a big pretend 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.320 that the assassination attempt at the White House correspondence dinner 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.240 is this huge threat that they need. And now they 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.360 also have to give Ice more money because an American 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.000 citizen was angry at Trump. 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:34.440 Yeah. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.600 By the way, the whole premise of this insanity is 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.200 that the White House Correspondent dinner would take place in 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.440 the White House. The White House Correspondence Association is not 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.440 part of the federal government, so that party was never 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.240 going to take place in the White House. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:52.839 So there's that. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.280 But beyond that, and I think that this is an 0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:01.640 important point here. This is ridiculous, right, like Donald Trump 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:07.200 should not have leveled the East twin point one second point, 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.280 this should be put together with in the purview of 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:15.160 the federal government and not in Donald Trump's fever dream. Okay, 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.520 this is not about Donald Trump, right, This is about 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.159 the White House, which belongs to us, the taxpayers, and 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.960 not Donald Trump. But also more than that, what is 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.160 happening here is that they are trying to approve bazillions 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.000 of I mean literally billions of our taxpayer dollars to 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.520 do whatever the fuck they want. And again, in this 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.320 there's money for ICE, CBP and DHS, and it's got 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.359 an enormous amount of flexibility with less accountability and less 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:50.360 oversight than typical annual appropriations for DHS funding. That means 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.200 that it is giving money that is gonna have even 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.320 less oversight. And this is an administration that is very, 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.280 very focused on not having oversight. So this is just 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.680 an insane, insane way to be. It is like, absolutely 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.360 not the way that any of this should work, and 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.400 none of this. No Democrat should vote for this. But 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.760 John Fetterman, who is not a Democrat and probably going 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:17.400 to switch part. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.080 John Fetterman, who's running as my brand is more important 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:22.120 than my constituents. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.479 Yeah, John Fetterman, who is running on his one term 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.320 and then never again exactly. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.359 But branding is important. So anyway, we need to shift 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:35.040 gears and talk about the Supreme Court and this abortion 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.320 ruling on meph pristone. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:37.200 What are you seeing here? 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.240 This is an incredible unforced error for Republicans. And here's 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.479 what happened. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had a 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:49.080 decision on Friday which said basically, no more metha pristone. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.320 That's a real problem for Republicans because you know, two 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.200 thirds of all abortions are medication abortions, and they use 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:01.000 these drugs. These drugs also have other uses for you 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.679 from contractions, et cetera. But the point is the Fifth 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.839 Circuit was like new, we're done, no more. Now here's 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.200 the problem. So the Supreme Court ruled Justice Alito, you 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.960 may know him as being a partisan hack. He appealed 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.559 this day and said, now they can sell it again. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.880 But here's the problem. In eight days, they're going to 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.080 go on They're basically going to go on the shadow 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.880 dock and decide what's going to happen with this. So 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.159 either they will pull this drug from the market, thus 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.840 setting a precedent that judiciaries that have been politicized can 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.200 pull drugs from the market because they don't like what 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.800 they do. And it will mean no more medication abortions, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.760 or it will mean more restrictions. And that will happen 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:49.400 six months before the midterms. And you'll remember abortion pretty popular. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.680 People don't like taking it away, even Republicans. A lot 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.159 of Republicans are pro choice. So this will be a 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.240 real fucking problem for Republicans. And remember this is a 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.480 very partisan court. So it's six'. Three this is the 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.200 court that Overturned roe. V. WADE i can see a 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.400 real world where they say like no more metha pristo 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.880 and like that's, It we're. Done and if they do, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.320 that then that's a huge becomes a huge issue for the. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.560 Midterms another, thing, though is if they don't do, that 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.200 then it also becomes a huge issue for the midterms 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.360 because then the anti choice vote is, furious they're, engaged 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.560 and they start turning On, trump and they're already very 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.280 mad about. This and in, fact you have this woman 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.559 From Pro Life, America marjorie dan And, felzer who said 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.240 that it is shameful that The trump administrations in action 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.120 has forced pro life states to take the battle to 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.600 the federal. Courts so you can see already attention here 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.000 AND i could see. THIS i, mean there are real 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:55.400 ideologues on this court who would be delighted to pull 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.360 this medicine off the. Market AND i could see that. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.880 Happening SO i think it'll be very. INTERESTING i think 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.360 it could be really problematic For. 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.160 Trump, YEAH i, agreed and feels like a real. Mess 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:12.560 so we have had a real spat of sexual impropriety 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.240 among congressional members this, term and it's not ending For. 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:21.080 Republicans we have Now Representative Chuck, edwards who is in 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.280 A r plus eight, district which means it's very very in, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.920 play who has numerous witnesses to him acting inappropriately with. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.400 Staffers, yeah and this guy sounds like a. 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.360 KOOK i would never guess that from this. 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:38.000 PARTY i mean sexual, harassment really really really.

Inflation why Did republicans not see this? 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:49.920 COMING i think the insuller bubble within which they LIVED 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.800 i think has burst and they don't know what reality 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.640 actually looks like. Anymore but, look we're a that like 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.240 Post GEORGE. W bush in your seven, phase when like 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.800 you could blame the, weather bad weather On George bush 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.360 and one's, like, yeah of course THAT sob did. THIS i, 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.200 mean that's where we're. At it's gonna keep getting. Worse 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.800 by the. Way he's positive on no. Issue there's not 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.120 a single thing that he's touching that is working for. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.959 HIM i don't know what their message is going to 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:15.600 be going into the. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.000 Midterms the thing, is we still have the, summer so It's, 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:24.040 may and we're coming up on this gas price. Situation, 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.680 Right gas is really Expensive americans hate paying for. Gas 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.079 they really. Do like that is the one. Thing it's 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:36.080 a nonpartisan. Issue the moment gas gets even a tiny 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.800 bit more, expensive people get. Apoplectic it's like we feel 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.119 we are entitled to cheap. GAS i always. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.440 Thought it would be a million people dying of in the, 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.960 pandemic but, no it's five dollars gallon. Gas it's the. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:53.080 Gas and it's like anti democratic. Stuff, nah it's the. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.839 Gas it's the. Gas, yeah can you explain to. Us 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.080 you do a lot of polling follow The latino vote really. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.880 Carefully that is a vote that is sort of the 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.680 new swing. Voters talk us through. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.400 It that's kind of the new soccer. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:10.640 Mom. 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.920 Right, yeah but, YEAH i think what the difference is 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:15.800 like with soccer, moms there was an attempt to kind 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.439 of appeal to what they were clearly telling the. Pollsters 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.000 latinos are a little bit different because both parties are really 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.520 struggling to kind of understand, them because both parties, Believe, 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.640 okay this is a minority, voter let's talk to them 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.400 the way we've always talked to other minority, voters and 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.080 that doesn't seem to be. Working and then there's also 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.000 this kind of feeling Like republicans are just, like, well 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.280 let's just pretend like they're like everybody, else which of 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.400 course doesn't work because they're not like everybody. Else and 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.720 so you end up in this scenario where both parties 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.080 don't really understand, it And latinos are the least racially 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.120 polarized and the most likely to be independent. Voters they're 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.960 the least likely to be registered with a party of 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.960 any major ethnic. Group and it's growing so, Fast, molly 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.000 that we're witnessing as. Dealignment they're moving away from both 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.560 parties and they're banishing whichever part is in. Power so, 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.400 yes it's increasingly going to be this swing voter that 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.200 is not voting for a, party it's really voting against a. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.160 Party so this gets us back to this idea that they. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.040 Dropped The republicans dropped the ball because we are seeing 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:20.080 people vote, again, Right we're seeing this anti incumbent. Hostility 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.040 so if you were A, republican if you Were Donald 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.720 trump and you had been watching what happened With Joe 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.160 biden for four, years you had been running on this 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:32.000 idea That Joe biden was old And Donald trump was, 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:36.400 young a completely insane statement because they're both very close in. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.520 Age wouldn't you have been a little bit prepared for 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.200 the idea that the anti incumbent sentiment might come and 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.440 bite you when you were the. Incumbent. 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.400 YEAH i don't Think Donald trump lives in that, reality. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.440 RIGHT i, mean like If Donald trump had just gone 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.840 golfing At mar Al lago instead of Like Liberation day 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.400 and tariffs and wars in The Middle east and Like epstein, 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.360 files all he had to do is going golf and 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.480 he could be built is arct The trump and you, 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.160 know putting his name all over whatever. Currencycy he would 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.880 be sitting in the mid high fifties right now in support. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.400 Levels but he. Didn't he can't help. Himself and The, 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.720 republicans of, course fealty has become the, driving animating characteristic 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.360 of the, party so they're going to go walk step with. 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.240 It but what, Happened molly was after The epstein, stuff 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.840 you start to see this, break and this break starts 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.360 to happen with the, influencers the right, wing you, know. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.080 Influencers it's the fight Between tucker And megan And candae 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.840 And Mark levine And. Shapiro AND i hate myself for 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.040 knowing who all these people. Are it's not even. Ideological 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.960 it's like this high school of middle school spat and 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.119 but that's the that's the animating politics of The Republican. 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.960 Party and so without, that what happens now is you're 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.640 Seeing Donald trump's base level support. Level he's at sixty 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.680 eight percent approval Amongst. Republicans, molly in ten years of 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.960 watching this every, morning waking up having my, coffee look 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.680 looking at this, number trying to figure out to break 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:06.200 it below eighty, eight he's now twenty points below anywhere 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.159 he's ever been, before ever With republicans. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.879 And republican leaners. Too right there are the Indie. Republicans 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.760 explain that to, us because that is the that's a 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.400 group that he cannot win. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.480 Without that's even more. DAMAGE i, mean it's all. Damaging 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.280 but let's talk about it independent for just a. Second 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.000 we know that a lot of people will Say i'm 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.760 not Either republican Or, democrat but we also know that, 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:33.720 demographically for, example an, older white homeowning male who's Saying 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.520 i'm independent is going to Vote republican ninety percent of the, 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.359 time right the same way a Young hispanic woman In 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.159 Santa Monica. California maybe, independent but she's gonna vote for 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.160 A democrat ninety percent of the. Time so these are leaners, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.080 demographically we know how they're going to. Break but these, 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.639 leaners These republican, leaners are at a historic. Low and 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.159 WHEN i say, historic it's worse Than GEORGE. W bush In. 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:59.080 Iraq it's worse Than Jimmy carter, stagflation it's worse Than 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:03.760 nixon Water. Gates, yeah we've never seen numbers this. Bad 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.320 and so that that historic break with just. Independence even 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.639 if he were holding The republican, base which is, not 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.840 he would be in, deep deep. Trouble but he's losing 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.760 Core Republican maga constituency. Now and that's why It's Katie 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.120 BARADOR i want. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.639 To talk about why he's losing him because so The 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:26.639 epstein file was The Epstein files fiasco was this first, 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.200 break and you Saw Pam bondi is no longer employed 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.399 basically because of. That right she did The. Binders it 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.159 got everybody in That maga world very. Excited there was 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:41.240 nothing in, there and then she went into a sort of. 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.280 Tailspin she did this hearing where she, said why won't 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.320 you thank Mister trump for The dow at fifty, thousand 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:52.320 which was like a little Too North korean propaganda even 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:52.879 for trump. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.800 Discuss you're exactly. Right the break point is The Epstein, 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.960 files because one of the animating characteristics again of Trump 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.439 ism is his visceral hate For, democrats so much so 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.600 that they paint them as. Pedophile there's nothing worse you 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.399 can be than somebody who abuses, children, right, Yes and 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.720 it's all in this conspiracy about The Epstein, files and 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.480 like everything In trump rolled its, projection and so that 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.720 becomes the focal point of this reelection and keeps the base. 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.600 Together we've got to go get the, demonic Horrible democrats 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:25.840 who are trying to eat our children and do all 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.240 these bad. Things, well once he turns on, that once 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:33.520 he betrays them on, that everything else becomes. Suspect and 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.719 then suddenly all these bad policy, decisions whether It's venezuela 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.800 for no real good, reason or whether it's monetary, policy 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.600 whether it's Attacking canada or threatening to Invade, greenland and 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.600 then certainly Invading iran with no, objective no, mission and 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:51.320 no exit, strategy people realize this has all been a. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.080 Ruse like it took a lot of people to get 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:55.679 out of the. Cult but once you're out of the, 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.800 cult you're not going. Back and that's where he's. At 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.880 that's what the problem. Is and that's why the likelihood 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.760 of this getting far worse is much greater than it 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:05.520 getting better for. 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.520 Him, Right and that's so let's talk through. That so 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.880 you had these. Influencers those influencers are not they are 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:16.840 Not Walter. Cronkite they are sticking their finger up and being, 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:21.200 like my people are, mad and that's why they're turning On, trump, Right. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.359 Yeah they're gonna you can't defend the indefensible. Anymore and 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:26.439 that's the. Problem and how what you saw was The 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.679 Candice owens and The Tucker carlson sees the opportunity to be, Like, 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.200 okay the gazelle is wounded on THE serengeti attack. Him, 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.240 now NOW i go after, him and they become the. 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.959 Predator right at, first they were, there you, know they 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.280 were getting followers by being part of the cheerleading crowd 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.360 and the you, know rallying it on once he's, wounded 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.640 and they you, KNOW i guess hat tip to them 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.760 for understanding having a finger on the pulse of where 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.320 this was. Going and realizing he's, done like he's mortally. 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.879 Wounded this is a bridge too. Far they turn on 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.360 him And carlson, like you're gonna start seeing his numbers 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:07.720 moving up in this next presidential discussion very. Shortly it's 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.600 not as high AS i would expect it to be right, 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.720 now but as anti Trump ism sets, in now that 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:17.720 he is the, establishment he is the, swamp he is the. Liar, 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.120 yeah betrayal is a deep. Emotion it's why they hated 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.920 Us Lincoln project guys so. Much we were as bad 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:25.879 as they much as they Hate. Democrats it was the 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.760 betrayers the, terms and that's what's going to drive a, 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:34.200 deep deep passionate Anti trump. Sentiment and you're gonna have 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.720 the Ten, cruises you, know The Marco rubios and The 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.960 jadevan's apologists trying to hold it, together and the old 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.080 Feeble man you, know still doing his you, know crazy, 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.520 talks trying to gin back support.
