| What's up, boys? | ||
| How we doing tonight? | ||
| We are live once again for the final night of the DNC convention. | ||
| We've just been live streaming through the DNC, and I came home, and I said, wow, these people need some Tic Tacs. | ||
| I need to do a collection at church and get these people some breath mints. | ||
| They smelled like cheese that had been left on the back of a pack mule. | ||
| Riding through the Himalayas on a very hot day. | ||
| Unfortunately, I had to stand there with Vivek holding a camera. | ||
| I know some of you might have been tuning in with that camera. | ||
| We captured some very special things, but nothing as special as our special guest today. | ||
| The governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, in the studio, in the arena. | ||
| God bless you, sir. | ||
| Thank you for being with us. | ||
| Thank you, Benny, for having me. | ||
| Thank you for the great work you're doing out there. | ||
| I would have loved to have had you with us at the DNC. | ||
| I feel like you could have been a Sherpa, a sensei. | ||
| You could have, like, brought us, you know, kind of around. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| You've hit those bricks before. | ||
| Well, yeah, and I know that neighborhood real well because I was raised in the city of Chicago, not too far from there. | ||
| And I could have been helpful to you because, you know, I probably have a few friends left in the Democratic Party, like maybe three. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| You were the kingmaker in that party. | ||
| I don't know if I was the kingmaker, but I was sort of like the king of the jungle for a little while, six years when I was the governor, twice elected. | ||
| And looking back and how that ended, I kind of wish I never was the governor, twice elected. | ||
| Oh, well, all right, fine, fine. | ||
| I'll say it. | ||
| I'll say it. | ||
| My family came in. | ||
| I'll say it. | ||
| My family would travel here all the time. | ||
| And when you were governor, this state was run really, really well. | ||
| Chicago was, I think, in a much better place. | ||
| I love this city. | ||
| It's a great American city. | ||
| But it breaks my heart walking on Michigan Avenue and seeing, like, half the storefronts empty. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's a great point. | ||
| Thank you for saying that, by the way. | ||
| And just real quick to get this out of the way to your listeners. | ||
| I didn't do it. | ||
| I didn't raise your taxes on your parents when they lived in their quiet cities. | ||
| And I didn't do the other thing that sent me to prison for eight years. | ||
| These were conversations that began by then-President-elect Obama. | ||
| And he goes to the White House for eight years, and I go to the shithouse for eight years. | ||
| Can I say that here? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, and... | ||
| We're streaming. | ||
| I think it's fair to say that Obama had a better eight years than me. | ||
| But anyway, I fought back, and anyway, the rest is history. | ||
| But as is written in Genesis chapter 50, what they meant for evil, God meant for good. | ||
| And I really think some good will come out of it. | ||
| I got a chance to meet you, and I got a chance to get to know President Trump on Celebrity Apprentice. | ||
| He fired me on that show, and he was right to do it. | ||
| Then he freed me from prison, and he was right to do that. | ||
| He's the only president of America in history to have fired and freed the same guy. | ||
| Even Lincoln didn't do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Okay. | ||
| Well, hey, listen. | ||
| We're in Trump Tower right now. | ||
| This was being built during your governorship. | ||
| Am I wrong? | ||
| While you were governor, this was being built, this beautiful building. | ||
| Yeah, he was getting it started right about that time, and it wasn't done when I had to go to what they call a college. | ||
| When I had the shelter in place for those eight years, but when I came back, it's magnificent. | ||
| I have such a personal fondness and appreciation to President Trump for what he did for me, and I don't mean to be flippant about this, I really do, that whenever I'm in one of his hotels, and they're all the highest quality, you know that. | ||
| They are. | ||
| In fact, I just used the men's room before we came in, and I'm so careful with his stuff. | ||
| That after I washed my hands, I splashed some water on the sink. | ||
| I took some towels and wiped it off. | ||
| I'm going to make sure I took care of his stuff because I owe him so much. | ||
| Okay, well, I think that we're going to have a rowdy conversation tonight. | ||
| Inside of the DNC, there was quite an interesting vibe. | ||
| Very strange. | ||
| I get very strange. | ||
| And maybe you can talk me through it because I've been to Democratic conventions to cover them, right? | ||
| For various... | ||
| Outfits I worked for when I was working for different journalism outfits. | ||
| However, what I saw tonight was not joy. | ||
| Everyone's talking about how joyful everything is. | ||
| What I saw tonight was not joy. | ||
| It was very strange, very macabre. | ||
| I was yelled at a couple times. | ||
| People were very salty, but I didn't see a single Biden button. | ||
| I didn't see a single Biden shirt. | ||
| I didn't see a single Biden mention. | ||
| You'd think there'd be something, like a photo or a doodad or a knick-knack. | ||
| About Joe Biden? | ||
| You know, the guy's technically still president? | ||
| Nothing, baby. | ||
| I mean, it was they'd cleaned house like he never existed. | ||
| I was like, man, that's brutal. | ||
| Yeah, well, you know, think about how they pushed him out. | ||
| It was a backroom deal with Obama and Pelosi leading the charge in the old Chicago machine way. | ||
| They look different than the old Chicago ward bosses. | ||
| And, you know, the last time I saw a bomb, he wasn't wearing a pinky ring, but they act the same way and they pressured him and did what they did. | ||
| They got him to step out. | ||
| It was almost like they forced him. | ||
| They forced the President of the United States and the guy who got 14 million votes from Democratic primary voters, it's almost like they forced him to have that vasectomy they're offering over at this convention. | ||
| They emasculated him. | ||
| And the fact that he gave up and gave in to that is really disappointing. | ||
| I mean, stand up for yourself. | ||
| And how about standing up for those 14 million Democratic voters who voted for you? | ||
| Don't let those two push you out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But he did. | |
| He did, and that's how they treat him now. | ||
| And that's how bullies treat people who aren't strong and tough. | ||
| In any event, that's what happened. | ||
| It's kind of sad in some respects, but Biden has been a career politician his whole life. | ||
| He's been in Washington since 1973. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| He was elected to the Senate when he just barely turned 30 years old, and he's been a creature of that Washington establishment for, what is that, 50 years or so? | ||
| 52 years? | ||
| So they got his number. | ||
| They got his number, and he plays for them. | ||
| He doesn't play for the people. | ||
| You see, that's the problem with politics today and government today. | ||
| Most of them are establishment figures in both parties. | ||
| The Trump Republican Party is very different now, and that's why they're making so much noise. | ||
| But for the most part, they make their deals. | ||
| Democrats make their deals with congressmen like Kinzinger. | ||
| Do you speak yet, by the way, at the convention? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Let's pop up just kind of like a – we just pop up the preview of the convention. | ||
| Let's have a look here. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| An actress, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She comes from a family a lot like mine, and I'm sure a lot like yours. | |
| Got an actress up here. | ||
| Eva Longoria? | ||
| Eva Longoria? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Looks like her. | |
| All right, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Especially as women. | |
| Well, my question about Kinzinger is, if he spoke tonight, I wonder if he cried. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Did he cry? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He tends to be fast and loose with those tears. | ||
| You don't have the dirt on everyone in this state. | ||
| Well, I mean, I know a lot of people here because, well, I was the governor, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But... | ||
| Yeah, in any event, it's kind of unfortunate with how they're treating Biden. | ||
| But again, it goes back to the fact that it was never about the people with him. | ||
| It was all about the Washington insiders that he spent his whole life with. | ||
| And when they told him it was time to step out, he basically gave a nephew to those 14 million Democratic working people who voted for him. | ||
| Their votes didn't matter to him. | ||
| The voices of Obama and Pelosi and the bosses and the donors and a few movie stars was more important to Biden. | ||
| So he stepped out. | ||
| What a wimp. | ||
| Dude, I mean, yeah. | ||
| For a guy that's like, I give you my word as a Biden, he told us time and time again, not even God could get me to drop out of his rate. | ||
| Not even God. | ||
| Okay, well, it's a little blasphemous, I think, what you've just done. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, not to stand up about him. | ||
| I mean, but that's a typical politician. | ||
| And, you know. | ||
| And then he's gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| My man, he's banished. | ||
| I mean, they didn't even, like, let him stay the night. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How insulting is that? | ||
| And then they don't even send him back. | ||
| He's going back to Delaware. | ||
| You know, this is a smaller thing in our point from our point of view. | ||
| But here's another example about how they're lying to the American people. | ||
| This Democratic Party today, you know, there's a lot of baloney in politics. | ||
| Historically, it's always been the case. | ||
| And when I was in politics, you know, not that we I didn't play politics the political way, too. | ||
| And, you know, there's puffing and there's hyperbole and there's, you know, all the different things that go on between you and the guy or the woman that you're running against. | ||
| But this Democratic Party, man, they just lie. | ||
| And lie and lie about everything. | ||
| And the way they're treating Biden as if he didn't exist after they made him the president and they hit him for all those years and lied to us about his cognitive incapacity. | ||
| And then when they got exposed and they can't hide it anymore and they dump him. | ||
| And now just a few weeks later, they're pretending like he doesn't exist. | ||
| They're hiding. | ||
| That's another form of how they lie. | ||
| So does Barack Obama hate Joe Biden? | ||
| Does he like dislike Joe Biden? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| People say Obama's behind this. | ||
| Oh, there's no doubt in my mind that Obama's behind this. | ||
| You can take that to the bank. | ||
| Pelosi, too, and their donors and the movers and shakers, the elites of the Democrat Party who are incidentally snobs and elitists who have really contempt for the working people. | ||
| That's the thing that's wrong with the Democrat Party, too. | ||
| We were supposed to be a party of the working guy, but they have contempt for him. | ||
| There's all kinds of ways I could explain that if you're interested later on. | ||
| But I don't think Obama dislikes Biden. | ||
| He just has no respect for him. | ||
| And he's a very selfish guy. | ||
| Obama is. | ||
| He has no loyalty to anybody. | ||
| And so if Biden is in the way of something that he wants, Biden's got to go. | ||
| So can you explain to me this video that we took? | ||
| Because I was shocked. | ||
| I got to tell you, I'm not from the South Side of Chicago. | ||
| I don't think I've ever been to the South Side of Chicago. | ||
| My family comes to Chicago. | ||
| We do the tourist stuff, right? | ||
| Stay here. | ||
| Maybe it's dangerous. | ||
| We hear about that. | ||
| We went to, like, O Block, where there's, you know, a lot of shootings. | ||
| By the New Beginning Church. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| By Pastor Brooks' church. | ||
| No, I mean, it's rough. | ||
| I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, that's a tough, tough street to hit. | |
| And we got out on a street corner that looked relatively safe, and we just started asking people about Trump and about... | ||
| Kamala Harris, right? | ||
| And about Barack Obama. | ||
| And this is less than a mile from the new Obama library that's going in there. | ||
| This giant 20-story thing he's building to himself. | ||
| And here's the answers we got. | ||
| And I want to get you to comment on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll go for Donald Trump. | |
| I go for Trump. | ||
| Trump the best. | ||
| Nah, I'm a Trump supporter. | ||
| I'm a Trump supporter, man. | ||
| Trump. | ||
| Y'all know we gonna need Trump in that zone. | ||
| But they ain't think Trump over on this side of town. | ||
| Look at my African American over here. | ||
| Look at him. | ||
| What's going on, guys? | ||
| We're in the south side of Chicago. | ||
| Barack Obama's old neighborhood. | ||
| His library is being built right around the corner from here. | ||
| What do people think about Barack Obama here? | ||
| And what do they think about Donald Trump? | ||
| Let's go ask. | ||
| Yo, man, the south side of Chicago is rough. | ||
| Abandoned houses, blight. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Tough-looking neighborhoods. | ||
| Some of the deadliest in the world right here. | ||
| There have been shootings since the start of the DNC convention in this neighborhood. | ||
| We pulled up on a street corner and thought we'd just ask the residents here what they think about Obama and Trump. | ||
| The last thing we were expecting were these answers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You could be a scholar. | |
| What are you doing so true? | ||
| F*** about it. | ||
| What? | ||
| No, what? | ||
| We didn't find a single person say a single nice thing about Barack Obama. | ||
| We talked like two dozen people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I go for Donald Trump. | |
| Every one of them. | ||
| Who are you voting for in 2024? | ||
| Trump. | ||
| Trump too. | ||
| And why is that man? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He the best president ever. | |
| He ever did anything since he's been in office. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm glad he out. | ||
| Trump, the best. | ||
| Barack Obama, that s***. | ||
| I ain't got no message to say on. | ||
| I don't mess with Barack Obama. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nah, I'm a Trump supporter. | ||
| Trump do more for black people and care more about black people. | ||
| And Barack Obama ain't black. | ||
| Just let that be known. | ||
| What about Kamala Harris? | ||
| What's your message to Donald Trump today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep going, keep going. | |
| Come get us, man. | ||
| We waiting on you. | ||
| So, okay, you get the point. | ||
| I mean, it'll go on and on and on. | ||
| What's going on there? | ||
| Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all. | ||
| You know, I spent eight years in prison, you know, and when Trump first ran in 2016, I saw some of the guys, my friends, the black guys, and they love Trump. | ||
| They love his authentic style, that he's so not a politician, not that phony baloney stuff. | ||
| And now the years have gone by and they had a taste of Trump for four years as president. | ||
| The black community did. | ||
| And they saw that, you know, things improved in their lives. | ||
| You know, that employment for black people was way up. | ||
| Wages were up. | ||
| Cost of living was down. | ||
| And Trump was on the side of protecting those neighborhoods. | ||
| In other words, we need police in those neighborhoods. | ||
| You know, here in Chicago, in that neighborhood, for example, you're 20 times more likely to be a victim of a homicide in that neighborhood than you are in the neighborhoods where the white people live. | ||
| And we're a very segregated city. | ||
| Obama let them down. | ||
| There was a great deal of promise and hope as the first, you know, half-black president in American history. | ||
| He claimed to be a community activist, but I know him really well. | ||
| I've known him since 1995, and I know David Axrod real well. | ||
| He worked for both of us. | ||
| My strong suspicion is that Obama showed up to one community meeting for like a half an hour, so he can say he was a community activist, and then did his politics. | ||
| And he did it for that reason, for politics. | ||
| He's a very selfish guy. | ||
| And that library that he's building over there in Hyde Park, that beautiful area with parks, and that huge edifice that he's building against the wishes of the community. | ||
| Because they wanted to keep the parks that way. | ||
| And the fact that he didn't choose to put it any further west in like an Englewood neighborhood or Woodlawn, not far from there, where poor people live or could have created jobs and opportunities. | ||
| Another example of how he puts himself and his legacy and those things ahead of just everyday people. | ||
| And I think the community that you just talked to, the men and women in the black community, I think they see that and realize that. | ||
| And they had great hope when he was president that things in their lives would improve. | ||
| But today, after Obama and now after three years of Biden and Harris, what they have are still the same things. | ||
| High crime, inferior schools, inferior health care. | ||
| The public schools in Chicago are terrible. | ||
| And the resistance of the Democrat establishment to try anything new that can give those kids a chance in the poor neighborhoods to learn something and get out of those neighborhoods and build a better life. | ||
| That's a racist thing, really. | ||
| The resistance of the public school lobby. | ||
| And the Democrat politicians who came into those public school lobbyists. | ||
| I went to public school in Chicago and I was supported by the teachers unions, but they've gone really crazy now. | ||
| And the fact that they don't, are unwilling to even consider anything that would improve the quality of education for children, because it gets in the way of their power, gets in the way of what they're mostly concerned about, and that's their pensions for their teachers, not smaller class sizes. | ||
| You know, holding teachers accountable to teach kids better or improving the conditions in those communities in those areas so the kids can learn better. | ||
| It's really a form of, you know, a soft form of racism, if not even worse than a soft form, because those are black kids who can't learn and they can never get out of those communities. | ||
| And the Democrats have done this to the black community for generations. | ||
| They're not the friends of the black community. | ||
| They use the black community and black voters for the votes, and they could get away with it for a long time because the old Republican Party under Bush and Cheney and Romney and those type of Republicans were never interested in doing anything for black people. | ||
| Trump is. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And Trump is reaching out to the black community, building this new political coalition with working class whites, reaching out to the black community that's been ill-served for so long by the Democrats and changing politics and realigning politics. | ||
| And you're seeing that when you went there today, that neighborhood. | ||
| So we were looking up. | ||
| I was like, why don't we go to Obama's house? | ||
| And I look up Obama's house and I find this tweet. | ||
| This is a tweet of some type of local news broadcast of an Obama purchase of a home. | ||
| I had no idea this had happened. | ||
| An Obama purchase of a home that's like a multi-million dollar mansion, but he used some notorious well-known Chicago gangster effectively to buy, maybe you know some of these guys, to buy the house and to buy the lot next to it. | ||
| And so back when... | ||
| He was just a state senator. | ||
| The guy was living in a $3 million house. | ||
| This is like 20 years ago when a $3 million house, $6 million house today. | ||
| This guy was living large when he was telling everybody he was in poverty. | ||
| This was like the Obama poverty story, right? | ||
| I have these little girls and me and Michelle were just barely scraping by. | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| Dude was living in a $3 million McMansion bought to him by a gangster. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| There's a lot of truth to what you're saying. | ||
| Now, the guy that did that is not a gangster. | ||
| He's actually a... | ||
| Very good guy who got caught up and had some troubles. | ||
| He was very good to Obama. | ||
| He was the one, Tony Resco, who introduced me to Obama in 1995. | ||
| And he's known Obama longer than me, knows us both. | ||
| He was active in politics, raised money for Democrats and Republicans, very big in helping Obama and me. | ||
| And Tony, after Obama was elected to the Senate, helped Obama buy a lot next door to that mansion that the Obamas bought. | ||
| And they paid... | ||
| Full price for the lot. | ||
| $750,000. | ||
| Resco paid all of that. | ||
| Because the Obamas didn't have enough money to buy the lot, the joining lot, and the mansion itself. | ||
| So they paid like $700,000 for the actual mansion. | ||
| They actually negotiated that down. | ||
| But Resco was forced to pay full price, list price, for that vacant lot next door to the mansion so that the Obamas can have that big property. | ||
| Then when Obama began running for president and there was scrutiny about Obama and his dealings and Resco and Resco's relationship with him and me, Obama then had a fence put up to separate the lot from the mansion and gave Resco the bill that cost $13,000. | ||
| Made Resco pay for it. | ||
| What a dirty dog, man, that guy. | ||
| No, yeah. | ||
| Resco was a very stand-up guy in many ways. | ||
| And there's so much to this story. | ||
| But when he was a convicted, Resco, of stuff that had nothing to do with my administration. | ||
| And as far as I know, nothing to do with Obama. | ||
| But the Fed's repressing him to say stuff about me and Senator Obama at the time. | ||
| And Resco wrote a letter to the sentencing judge saying, I'm not going to lie about Governor Blagojevich or Senator Obama. | ||
| I've never been involved in any wrongdoing with either one of those guys. | ||
| So he protected Obama. | ||
| And so then he goes to prison, and they kept him in solitary confinement for three years, squeezing him to say stuff about me and lie, and he wouldn't do it. | ||
| Sorry, I didn't actually know that. | ||
| I didn't mean to play a clip to, like, you know, elicit any of that. | ||
| No, it's good. | ||
| Forgive me. | ||
| No, I'm glad you did that because it's important to know, I mean, how Obama uses people. | ||
| And when Resko could have used his help, when Obama had all that power, maybe cut his sentence a little bit, he let him sit there. | ||
| Well, Governor, the reason I'm looking this up is that the Obamas go to the DNC and you wouldn't believe the, like, you really would think they were on food stamps. | ||
| The way that Michelle Obama talks, right? | ||
| We are very suspicious. | ||
| I don't know if you saw the speeches. | ||
| We're very suspicious of people who take more than they need. | ||
| Lady, you have like five beach houses on private islands. | ||
| I've seen the yacht that you and Tom Hanks are on in Greece. | ||
| I see it. | ||
| We have photos of it. | ||
| It's bigger than like 10 of my houses. | ||
| It is shocking how they can say something like that and lie to the American people that way. | ||
| That's so obviously not true. | ||
| He's close to being, the two of them are close to being billionaires now. | ||
| They've monetized the White House to become richer than Trump. | ||
| Before Trump got into politics. | ||
| That's one of the great, great, great ironies. | ||
| What can I say? | ||
| It's all upside down, but I think the American people are catching on. | ||
| Certainly your listeners and your viewers are. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Adam Kinzinger. | ||
| Adam Kinzinger was just up speaking. | ||
| Let's go ahead and pop up the DMC feed here. | ||
| We are listening right now to Kamala Harris's sister. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When some are trying to divide us, to separate us in ways that make it difficult for us to come together. | |
| Well, look, my sister rejects that view. | ||
| Where others push darkness, Kamala sees promise. | ||
| Where others feel detachment, Kamala fosters connection. | ||
| Where others want to drag us back to the past. | ||
| My sister says, hold up now. | ||
| We are not going back. | ||
| This is the accent of somebody raising Quebec. | ||
| You know, there's that famous Quebec accent, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Right? | ||
| Foghorn leghorn. | ||
| Very famous Quebec accent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because Kamala understands. | |
| I think she spent the last couple days on the south side of the neighborhood you were at because she's kind of talking that way. | ||
| That's the phony baloney stuff they do. | ||
| They're so full of shit, these people. | ||
| Can I say that on your show? | ||
| We're streaming, man. | ||
| Rock and roll. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are wealthy people. | |
| It's about who we bring along and lift up in the process. | ||
| And they're talking like extras and gone with the wind. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| What the hell is this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so as I look out at all of you today and take in this incredible moment. | |
| They do. | ||
| They think we're stupid. | ||
| They think we're stupid. | ||
| They use these stupid accents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, right. | |
| I like it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When I talk on the show about it, it's like... | |
| I can just see her smiling, saying, How proud she is of Kamala. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I mean, you know, like, but if I went and did a speech in Louisiana, everyone knows the way I talk. | ||
| And I'm like, hell! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got work to do. | |
| Like, everyone would be like, get your ass out of here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You fraud, right? | |
| They'd like run me out with a pitchfork. | ||
| And the right place out. | ||
| But somehow they allow this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To elect a leader who sees the potential in each of us. | |
| It's gone. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
|

A leader who cares for all of us. | |
| Because she needs to appeal to the suburban white women now. | ||
| My big sister. | ||
| So when she goes to a community of the Jamaican population, maybe somewhere in New York City or whatever, I'm sure she's talking a lot more like Bob Marley than she is. | ||
| You know, we've seen this the entire time. | ||
| It's that famous Hillary Clinton clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I ain't no ways tired. | |
| We do have Adam Kinzinger. | ||
| You wondered if Adam Kinzinger cried. | ||
| We have some Adam Kinzinger crying clips for you. | ||
| Before you do that, Ben, can I ask you something? | ||
| If he starts talking like a black person, I'm leaving. | ||
| I don't think the guy has enough testosterone to talk like a black person or any man, quite frankly. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But listen, you never thought you'd see me here, did you? | |
| I've learned something about the Democratic Party. | ||
| And I want to let my fellow Republicans in on the secret. | ||
| The Democrats are as patriotic as us. | ||
| You called it. | ||
| He was almost crying. | ||
| He cries a lot. | ||
| You can hear his voice cracking. | ||
| Do we have more? | ||
| Give me my Kinzinger fix. | ||
| Let's go. | ||

Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong. | |
| He says that as he's cheering up. | ||
| He says that as like salt is rolling down his cheeks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is a small man pretending to be big. | |
| Dude, Adam Kinzinger is like five foot tall. | ||
| Is he that short? | ||
| He's pretty tall. | ||
| He's talking about being a small man. | ||
| Hey guys, the quality of these clips, is it my, is it the clip quality? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He puts on quite a show, but there is no real strength there. | |
| Let's get quality clips here, okay? | ||
| Test that. | ||
| Where's the next one? | ||
| Adam Kinzinger, I am proud to be in the trenches with you as sometimes an awkward alliance. | ||
| We have to defend the truth. | ||
| Okay, so he's talking about awkward alliances. | ||
| Okay, got it. | ||
| We got that one. | ||
| I can do one more Adam Kinzinger crying clip. | ||
| Do you know Kinzinger? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| He's from Illinois, though, and I know of him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I haven't had the good fortune of having that. | ||
| To your great credit, actually, that you'd tell them. | ||
| Why does Illinois have so many big personalities coming out of the state? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do we? | |
| Well, you know, there's a lot of, like, notable people from Illinois. | ||
| You know, you come off the top of the head. | ||
| Name a few. | ||
| We got Obama, of course. | ||
| Well, Obama, right? | ||
| You have the Daly family, I guess. | ||
| Pritzker is a, I guess you could call him a big or huge personality. | ||
| I would say he fills up the screen, but I wouldn't say he's a big figure. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, yeah, his blood type's Olympic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And... | |
| You know, I don't, like, let's see, who else? | ||
| Well, we have Reverend Jackson. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's, he's legitimately, you know. | ||
| Kinzinger's made, kind of, to the disgrace, yeah. | ||
| Single A ball. | ||
| Jackson's a major leaguer. | ||
| Hey, ladies and gentlemen, we have one more speak, we have Roy Cooper, you can see Roy Cooper speaking here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fight for you to the very end. | |
| Okay. | ||
| He's speaking before Kamala. | ||
| So Kamala. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or a safer place to live. | |
| Am I saying that right, Kamala? | ||
| Kamala will fight for you. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Is it Kamala or Kamala? | ||
| Who want better schools for their kids. | ||
| My daughters keep correcting me and telling me it's Kamala. | ||
| Remember Kamala. | ||
| And that it's somehow you're offending her or something if you call her Kamala. | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, these speech police, they're all over the place. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| These guys. | ||
| Are the ones who call Trump Hitler. | ||
| So no, I'm not going to say Kamala the way you want me to say Kamala. | ||
| Call her Kami Kamala is what I call her. | ||
| You know, with a name like Blagojevich, I got a confession to make over the years. | ||
| People have mispronounced it. | ||
| If I was sensitive like these people, man, who knows what I would do to those people. | ||
| So let's get one more Kinzinger clip in here. | ||
| And then we'll go to the feed because Kamala, this is the guy that speaks before her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Adam Kinzinger and I am proud to be in the trenches with you. | |
| As part of this sometimes awkward alliance that we have to defend truth, defend democracy, and decency. | ||
| I have an announcement for you, Governor, that Adam Kinzinger tonight on stage started cucks for Harris. | ||
| It was after he got one of those pre-vasectomies, probably. | ||
| I gotta tell you something, that one surprised me. | ||
| So that's a very historic moment, actually. | ||
| Yeah, so welcoming him to the stage was the vasectomy van. | ||
| So he drove in the vasectomy van to the stage. | ||
| He asked for an extra bumpy ride. | ||
| He converted to Judaism on the way. | ||
| Alright, well, ladies and gentlemen, why don't we go to Roy Cooper? | ||
| Looks like he's done, so Kamala's up next. | ||
| Let's rock and roll. | ||
| We're going to take this live. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Feed a little choppy here, boys. | |
| Let's make sure we're smooth. | ||
| Looking better. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| It's where Kamala Harris learned what it means to be in the middle class, making every paycheck count. | ||
| She was raised by a working mom who taught her about standing up for what's right and protecting the people you love. | ||
| Kamala carries the lessons of our mother, the fighting spirit of our mother, the compassion. | ||
| She was all five feet tall. | ||
| If you met her, you would have thought she was seven feet tall. | ||
| And our mother, if I'd ever come home complaining about anything, she wouldn't have it. | ||
| The first thing she'd say is, well, just stop the complaining. | ||
| Just tell me what you're going to do about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And since she was a young girl, Kamala Harris has been fighting for families like the ones she grew up with. | |
| That is Kamala. | ||
| She can't help herself from standing up for people and standing up for what she thinks is right. | ||
| She has been that way our whole lives. | ||
| Being a protector is what led her to become a prosecutor. | ||
| Looking back now, I could say it was her calling. | ||
| As a courtroom prosecutor, she went after predators who targeted women and children and fraudsters who ripped off working families. | ||
| And she put dangerous gang members and human traffickers behind bars. | ||
| We didn't have partnerships with DOJ or FBI or DEA or any of those law enforcement agencies. | ||
| Now, we all work collaboratively. | ||
| She was the person who built the foundation in how we do criminal justice in America. | ||
| As Attorney General of California, she held the big Wall Street banks accountable for fraud. | ||
| Winning $20 billion for California families, she took on one of the largest for-profit colleges that were scamming students. | ||
| And in the Senate, she fought for her constituents with the determination of the prosecutor, standing up for reproductive freedom. | ||
| Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not thinking of any right now, Senator. | |
| She fought to keep our children safe from the terror of gun violence. | ||
| How many of you guys had to have a drill where you learned about how you need to hide in a closet or crouch in a corner in the event that there is a mass shooter? | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On the Intelligence Committee, she defended our nation against foreign adversaries. | |
| And in 2020, she made history as the first woman to be elected vice president of the United States. | ||
| She cast a tie-breaking vote to deliver urgent relief to the American people during the pandemic. | ||
| She beat Big Pharma to lower prescription drug costs and capped the cost of insulin and led the fight to restore reproductive rights after Roe v. | ||
| Wade was overturned. | ||
| We have worked too hard and fought too long to see our daughters grow up in a world with fewer rights than our mothers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because she's never been afraid to stand up to powerful interests. | |
| Sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. | ||
| Sometimes they won't. | ||
| And then you need to kick that f***ing door down. | ||
| Excuse my language. | ||
| It was totally organic. | ||
| They didn't plan that in the mirror for days. | ||
| That was organic. | ||
| She's a girl boss. | ||
| What does that mean, girl boss? | ||
| She's a girl boss. | ||
| And we are a work in progress. | ||
| We haven't yet quite reached all of those ideals, but we will die trying because we love our country. | ||
| We believe. | ||
| She's a girl box. | ||
| We're not falling for these folks who are trying to divide us, trying to pull us apart. | ||
| We know what we stand for, and we stand for the people. | ||
| A strong woman. | ||
| Strong female character. | ||
| She's a strong female character. | ||
| And we stand for freedom. | ||
| We stand for justice. | ||
| We stand for equality. | ||
| And so we will fight for all of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's who Kamala Harris is. | |
| That's what she believes. | ||
| That's what she'll fight for every day. | ||
| Freedom, freedom, where are you? | ||
| 'Cause I need freedom too. | ||
| I break chains all by myself. | ||
| Won't let my freedom ride in hell. | ||
| Hey, I'ma keep running'cause the winner don't quit on themselves. | ||
| How much is this like Obama? | ||
| She's not as talented politically as Obama. | ||
| And there's a quality to her, and I think that the more we see her, and the voters see her, they're going to be less... | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're going to like her less. | |
| But Obama is different. | ||
| But you know, she talks about her record as a prosecutor. | ||
| She ought to talk about what she did to Jamal Trula. | ||
| 13 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. | ||
| It was hard to expect her out. | ||
| It's evidence that he was innocent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She and her people refused to allow them to live in the court to actually publicate an innocent man. | |
| She railroaded an innocent man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Eventually, he got justice after being six or seven years in prison. | |
| Except for 14 years or whatever it was that he did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it's an example of some of these prosecutors. | |
| They're so dishonest on them. | ||
| And it's all about winning convictions. | ||
| So she can run for office. | ||
| And that's how she treated him. | ||
| Blacked out and got totally screwed by him. | ||
| And that was a gross injustice. | ||
| And, you know, what does the Bible teach us? | ||
| Thou shalt not births at cross witness against thy neighbor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think if these people touch the Bible, they spontaneously combust my brother. | |
| Well, they eliminated one nation under God from the Pledge of Allegiance, which is a remarkable thing because the Democratic Party I was in, most of us... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Democrats believe in God, love our country, support the police. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You were in a different era, homie. | |
| Yeah, it's a very different era. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I saw them carrying in all those sticks. | |
| It's a very different party. | ||
| And we're looking at the candidate that was anointed. | ||
| It's a coronation. | ||
| The political boss is in the back room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody kept voting for her. | |
| She lost every single time she tried to run. | ||
| Every single time she tried to run for office, she didn't even make it to Iowa. | ||
| Yeah, that's exactly right. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| She didn't even make it to Iowa. | ||
| So I've been to four Democrat conventions. | ||
| And, you know, I've been there. | ||
| I was there when Obama gave a speech in 2004 in Boston to catapult to Hamburg. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was there in 2008 when Obama was nominated in Denver. | |
| Good evening, everyone. | ||
| 2004 in 1996 here in Chicago with Clinton's re-election. | ||
| And what they do is, you know, they're... | ||
| Democrat operatives will come on the floor there and really encourage people to make all kinds of noise. | ||
| That's not surprising. | ||
| The Republicans maybe do that too. | ||
| But I think this has been a conservative effort to really change the noise they're making. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, clearly. | |
| Good evening. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| They definitely put Xanax in the water. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| At the United Center. | ||
| I've got to say, Benny, thank you. | ||
| I have great respect for you and great regard. | ||
| I appreciate your show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The only reason I'm watching this is because you were having me watch this. | |
| If you didn't invite me tonight, I'd be home watching baseball. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cubs or socks? | |
| Cubs. | ||
| You've got to get this in business. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Thank you all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you remember that funny pitch Obama threw? | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| We're left-handed, though. | ||
| We're left-handed. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Look at how desperate she is to find the prompter. | ||
| Okay, let's get to business. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's get to business. | |
| All right. | ||
| She's so bad. | ||
| You're so right. | ||
| She's so politically unskilled. | ||
| Let me start by thanking my most incredible husband, Doug. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Marmee, already. | |
| Okay, let's get to business. | ||
| For being an incredible partner to me, an incredible father to Cole and Ella, and happy anniversary, Dougie. | ||
| I love you so very much. | ||
| Oh, look, Antifa's in the audience. | ||
| To our president, Joe Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's so brutal. | |
| To Joe Biden. | ||
| Joe, I am filled with gratitude. | ||
| Your record is extraordinary, as history will show. | ||
| And your character is inspiring. | ||
| And Doug and I love you and Jill and are forever thankful to you both. | ||
| They should do another fake phone call where Joe Biden calls in on a recorded line. | ||
| That would be neat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And to Coach Tim Walz. | ||
| I've used teleprompter, so a lot of your viewers are listening to me now, but they have three of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You are going to be an incredible vice president. | |
| So you can see when she's reading it right off of her. | ||
| She goes straight to the phone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And she's probably spent the last... | |
| And to the delegates and everyone who has put your faith in our campaign, your support is cuddling. | ||
| So, America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected. | ||
| But I'm no stranger to unlikely journeys. | ||
| There's the left one. | ||
| My mother, our mother, Shyamala Harris had one of her own. | ||
| Now the right one. | ||
| And I miss her every day and especially right now. | ||
| Can I talk here real fast? | ||
| And I know she's looking down smiling. | ||
| We just wait. | ||
| Let me know when I can. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| So my mother was 19 when she crossed the world alone, traveling from India to California with an unshakable dream to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer. | ||
| When she finished school, she was supposed to return home to a traditional arranged marriage. | ||
| But as fate would have it, She met my father, Donald Harris, a student from Jamaica. | ||
| They fell in love and got married, and that act of self-determination made my sister Maya and me. | ||
| Did she just confirm biological reality? | ||
| Growing up, we moved a lot. | ||
| I will always remember that big Mayflower truck packed with all our belongings, ready to go. | ||
| To Illinois, to Wisconsin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See? | |
| These are big personalities, these people. | ||
| My early memories of our parents together are very joyful ones. | ||
| A home filled with laughter and music. | ||
| Aretha, Coltrane, and Miles. | ||
| At the park, my mother would say, stay close. | ||
| But my father would say, as he smiled, run, Kamala, run, don't be afraid, don't let anything stop you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You think we're going to get the coconut tree story and the speech government? | |
| Tell me about that, I'm not familiar with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You fell out of coconut tree! | |
| That's what she says. | ||
| Does she say that? | ||
| She does say it. | ||
| And I don't understand it. | ||
| Maybe it's because of my upbringing. | ||
| Not a lot of coconut trees. | ||
| The fields of Iowa. | ||
| So you're asking, do I think she'll use that in her speech? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I'm going to say no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She rented a small apartment on the East Bay. | |
| In the Bay, you either live in the hills or the flatlands. | ||
| We lived in the flats. | ||
| A beautiful, working-class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses, and construction workers. | ||
| All who tended their lawns with pride. | ||
| My mother, she worked long hours. | ||
| And like many working parents, she leaned on a trusted circle to help raise us. | ||
| Mrs. Shelton, who ran the daycare below us and became a second mother. | ||
| Uncle Sherman, Aunt Mary, Uncle Freddie, Auntie Chris. | ||
| None of them family by blood. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| Family by love. | ||
| Why does this sound like an infomercial? | ||
| Like, I'm getting such a strange vibe here, right? | ||
| I'm not connecting with her. | ||
| How to make gumbo. | ||
| How to play chess. | ||
| Like, none of it. | ||
| I don't believe any of these stories. | ||
| I believe zero of these stories. | ||
| Well, that's right. | ||
| It's understandable that you feel that way when you get lied to all the time. | ||
| And the big lie that Biden was capable of being president and he wasn't. | ||
| That she was in. | ||
| How to believe anything she says or they say. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| How about this? | ||
| Stop talking about your mom and tell us about what policy you have for the country that will fix this rolling dumpster fire that you've caused since your party's been in power for 12 of the last 16 years. | ||
| I don't need to hear about Auntie M. It's like the fifth time I've heard that she has a small mom. | ||
| I don't... | ||
| I mean, yeah, I don't... | ||
| Okay. | ||

My mother was a member of the Lollipop Guild. | |
| She would sing and wear tight pants and hold a lollipop. | ||
| She had an orange jerry curl. | ||
| She taught us to never complain about injustice, but do something about it. | ||
| Do something about it. | ||
| That was my mother. | ||
| And she taught us, and she always, she also taught us, and she also taught us. | ||
| What are your policies? | ||
| And that is a direct quote. | ||
| A direct quote. | ||
| I grew up immersed in the ideals of the civil rights movement. | ||
| My parents had met at a civil rights gathering, and they made sure that we learned about civil rights leaders, including the lawyers like Thurgood Marshall and Constance Baker Motley. | ||
| Those who battled in the courtroom to make real the promise of America. | ||
| So at a young age, I decided I wanted to do that work. | ||
| I wanted to be a lawyer. | ||
| And when it came time to choose the type of law I would pursue, I reflected on a pivotal moment in my life. | ||
| You see, when I was in high school, I started to notice something about my best friend, Wanda. | ||
| Was she drunk? | ||
| She was sad at school. | ||
| And there were times she didn't want to go home. | ||
| Somebody checked the liquor cabinet. | ||
| Pelosi was supposed to swallow the key. | ||
| So one day I asked if everything was all right. | ||
| And she confided in me that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather. | ||
| And I immediately told her she had to come stay with us. | ||
| And she did. | ||
| This is one of the reasons I became a prosecutor. | ||
| To protect people like Wanda. | ||
| Because I believe everyone has a right to safety, to dignity, and to justice. | ||
| What's your policies? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, what's your policies? | |
| As a prosecutor, when I had a case, I charged it not in the name of the victim, but in the name of the people. | ||
| For a simple reason. | ||
| In our system of justice, A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us. | ||
| And I would often explain this to console survivors of crime, to remind them no one should be made to fight alone. | ||
| We are all in this together. | ||
| And every day, in the courtroom, I stood proudly before a judge, and I said five words: Kamala Harris for the people. | ||
| And to be clear, my entire career, I've only had one client, the people. | ||
| And so, on behalf of the people, on behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender, or the language your grandmother speaks, | ||
| on behalf of my mother, and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey, On behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with, | ||
| people who work hard, chase their dreams, and look out for one another, on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on Earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And with this election, That was suspenseful. | ||
| And with this election, our nation, our nation with this election has a precious fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism... | ||
| And divisive battles of the past, a chance to chart a new way forward. | ||
| Not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans. | ||
| And let me say, I know there are people of various political views watching tonight, and I want you to know. | ||
| I promise to be a president for all Americans. | ||
| You can always trust me to put country above party and self. | ||
| Put country above party and she covers up Biden's cognitive. | ||
|
unidentified

To hold sacred America's fundamental principles. | |
| From the rule of law to free and fair elections to the peaceful transfer of power. | ||
| Peaceful transfer of power. | ||
| The guy was telling us that not God himself to get him to stop running. | ||
| Look at these Batman villains from California. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like an entire villainous crew. | |
| You got Pelosi, Gavin Newsom. | ||
| Who is realistic, practical, and has common sense, and always fights for the American people. | ||
| From the courthouse to the White House, that has been my life's work. | ||
| As a young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, California, I stood up for women and children against predators who abuse them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As Attorney General of California, I took on the big banks. | |
| I didn't mean to loop you in to this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| Because I see the bullshit because I was in the business. | ||
| Some of these lines I think I gave. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think Axelrod wrote them for her and wrote them for me. | |
| I just ran into him at the DMC. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I told him he needs to put his mustache back on his fat face. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Is he nice to you? | ||
| I didn't say that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And students being scammed by big, corporate colleges. | |
| He was like standing in a hallway and I was standing in a hallway waiting for a big to be done on Fox. | ||
| I was like, hey, grow your mustache again. | ||
| Is he a nice guy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's very good at what he does. | |
| He'd write a speech like this. | ||
| And I'm not saying he did yet. | ||
| This is boilerplate stuff, you know what I mean? | ||
| This is boilerplate stuff. | ||
| I mean, we all have humble backgrounds. | ||
| Some of us actually do, like me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I'm not so sure hers is as humble as she's describing right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somebody should check that. | |
| But we never gave up. | ||
| I mean, I wonder if she's lying about that, like she lies about how she's not against Franklin. | ||
| No, but how she lies about how she's not to defund the police. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Or how she lies about wanting to eliminate private health insurance. | ||
| And that's the fight we are in right now. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Thank you, Ben. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| This is boilerplate stuff. | ||
| Like, don't come for me in the comment section, but Michelle Obama's speech was better than this. | ||
| The President: This election is not only the most important Okay, what's your policy? | ||
| Okay, this is like the fourth time you told us it's important. | ||
| The third time you told me your mom's short. | ||
| So, like, what you gonna do? | ||
| Huh? | ||
| Country's in shambles. | ||
| What you gonna do about it? | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But the consequences, but the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious. | ||
| Here comes prosecutor face. | ||
| Consider not only the chaos and calamity when he was Short mom lives matter. | ||
| Did you know her mom's short? | ||
| You're asking me? | ||
| No, I'm just like reading some of the comments. | ||
| Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes. | ||
| When he failed... | ||
| He sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol where they assaulted law enforcement officers. | ||
| When politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He fanned the flames. | |
| Now, for an entirely different set of crimes, he was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday Americans and separately found liable for committing sexual abuse. | ||
| These Democrats ought to be kicked out of the United States and Central Russia. | ||
| And if Russia's too far, they ought to go to Cuba or Venezuela because they're taking away from us the rule of law by destroying it with fake crimes. | ||
| To set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol. | ||
| His explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy. | ||
| His explicit intent to deploy our active duty military against our own citizens. | ||
| What a lie. | ||
| Consider. | ||
| Think about what she's saying here. | ||
| Consider. | ||
| The power he will have, especially after the United States Supreme Court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal prosecution. | ||
| She's got that like. | ||

Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails. | |
| Why does it always sound like you're getting a lecture in second grade about the importance of not putting the crayons in the pencil sharpeners? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is why you don't put green crayons in the pencil sharpeners. | |
| He has ever had. | ||
| Himself! | ||
| Snore. | ||
| People inspired by this? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| And we know what a second Trump term would look like. | ||
| It's all laid out in Project 2025, written by his closest advisors, and in some total is to pull our country back to the past. | ||
| But America, we are not going back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are not going back. | |
| We are not going back to when Donald Trump tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. | ||
| We are not going back to when he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, when insurance companies could deny people with pre-existing conditions. | ||
| We are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public schools. | ||
| We're not going to let him end programs like Head Start that provide preschool and childcare for our children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
America, we are not going back. | |
| She's used like five different accents. | ||
| Even your Antifa stepdaughter is like, what the hell's going on? | ||
| We are charting, and we are charting a new way forward. | ||
| Forward. | ||
| To a future with a strong and growing middle class because we know a strong middle class has always been critical to America's success and building that middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| I think she hit the sauce. | ||
| I think she hit the sauce before the speech. | ||
| The middle class is where I come from. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My mother kept a strict budget. | |
| We lived within our means, yet we wanted for little. | ||
| Both her parents were tenured professors, okay? | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| Yeah, she had an upper crust. | ||
| You gotta be kidding, is that right? | ||
| And to be grateful for them. | ||
| Because, as she taught us, opportunity is not available to everyone. | ||
| That's why we will create what I call an opportunity economy, an opportunity economy where everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's like you should sound hopeful there, not angry, right? | |
| The way you're delivering the speech is wrong. | ||
| And as president, I will bring together labor and workers. | ||
| And small business owners and entrepreneurs and American companies to create jobs, to grow our economy, and to lower the cost of everyday needs like healthcare and housing and groceries. | ||
| We will provide access to capital for small business owners and entrepreneurs and founders. | ||
| And we will end America's housing shortage. | ||
| Social Security and Medicare. | ||
| I've never heard a politician say that before. | ||
| That's weird, man. | ||
| Now compare that to Donald Trump. | ||
| Now she's getting there. | ||
| I think everyone here knows he doesn't actually fight for the middle class. | ||
| He doesn't actually fight for the middle class. | ||
| Instead, he fights for himself and his billionaire friends. | ||
| And he will give them another round of tax breaks that will add... | ||
| Up to $5 trillion to the national debt. | ||
| Dude, she's talking about adding money to the national debt. | ||
| And all the while, he intends to enact what in effect is a national sales tax, call it a Trump tax, that would raise prices on middle class families by almost $4,000 a year. | ||
| Well, instead of a Trump tax hike... | ||
| Look at how excited people are in the audience. | ||
| Did you see that? | ||
| that will benefit more than 100 million Americans. | ||
| Again, it's like getting a lecture from the assistant principal in the third grade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's lying to you. | |
| Trump has not proposed an increase in taxes. | ||
| He's talking about cutting taxes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is insane. | |
| I don't want to go back to... | ||
| Rising wages and low taxes and a booming economy. | ||
| We don't want to go back. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Especially on matters of heart and home. | ||
| But tonight in America, too many women are not able to make those decisions. | ||
| And let's be clear about how we got here. | ||
| Donald Trump hand-picked. | ||
| Members of the United States Supreme Court to take away reproductive freedom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
| And now he brags about it. | ||
| In his words, "I did it and I'm proud to have done it." Well, I'll tell you, over the past two years, I've traveled across our country and women have told me their stories. | ||
| Husbands and fathers have shared theirs. | ||
| Stories of women miscarrying in a parking lot. | ||
| Developing sepsis, losing the ability to ever again have children. | ||
| All because doctors are afraid they may go to jail for caring for their patients. | ||
| Couples just trying to grow their family. | ||
| Cut off in the middle of IVF treatments. | ||
| Children who have survived sexual assault. | ||
| Potentially being forced to carry a pregnancy to term. | ||
| This is what's happening in our country because of Donald Trump. | ||
| And understand he is not done. | ||
| As a part of his agenda, he and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion, and enact a nationwide abortion ban with She hasn't said the word immigration or inflation. | ||
| The plans to create a national anti-abortion coordinator and force states to report on women's miscarriages and abortions. | ||
| Simply put, they are out of their minds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's like, you can tell she practiced all these lines, but she is not hitting them. | |
| And one must ask. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's not hitting them. | |
| One must ask, why exactly is it that they don't trust women? | ||
| Well, we trust women. | ||
| We trust women. | ||
| And when Congress passes a bill, To restore reproductive freedom as president of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, okay. | |
| She's, um... | ||
| Oh, that's pretty... | ||
| That's pretty macabre. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Show the guy holding a newborn as you, like, worship at the altar of abortion. | |
| The freedom to love who you love openly and with pride. | ||
| The freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis and the freedom that unlocks all the others the freedom to vote. | ||
| With this election, we finally have the opportunity to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I Can I ask you a question? | |
| Sure. | ||
| And let me be clear. | ||
| I've never been elected to politics. | ||
| After decades in law enforcement, I know the importance. | ||
| She's complaining about all these things, right? | ||
| But hasn't her party had power and hasn't she had power for, like, the last couple decades her party's had power and she's had power for the last three and a half years? | ||
| So, like, who the hell do you have to complain about yourself? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Especially the last three years when Biden and her have been in charge. | |
| So he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. | ||
| So many of the things she's complaining about. | ||
| Well, I refuse to play politics with our security. | ||
| And here is my pledge to you. | ||
| How can you bitch about how terrible things are when you've been in power with a Democrat Senate with a unified Democrat control? | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| We can live up. | ||
| To our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system. | ||
| We can create an earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border. | ||
| Trump says he's going to call in right after this. | ||
| And America, we must also be steadfast in advancing our security and values abroad. | ||
| I have confronted threats to our security, negotiated with foreign leaders, strengthened our alliances, and engaged with our brave troops overseas. | ||
| As commander in chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world. | ||
| And I will fulfill our secret. | ||
| It's a sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families. | ||
| And I will always honor and never disparage their service and their sacrifice. | ||
| There's another line. | ||
| Can I say something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please! | |
| See, the problem. | ||
| When you've been in the business like I've been, you know these people, you know how they operate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not a lot of them, but most of them. | |
| See, Trump is so alien to them. | ||
| I will make sure that we lead the world. | ||
| Trump is a guy who really wants to get things done. | ||
| that we lead the world into the future on space and artificial intelligence, that America, not China, mostly don't. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they lose the issue. | ||
| And as long as they can have the issue and point to problems, Trump, on the other hand, threatened to abandon NATO. | ||
| He encouraged Putin to invade our allies. | ||
| Said Russia could, quote, "Do whatever the hell." Five days before Russia attacked Ukraine, I met the president Zelensky to warn him about Russia's plan to invade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And as president, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies. | |
| To all political platitudes with no intention to really do anything. | ||
| With respect to the war in Gaza, President Biden and I are working around the clock. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because now is the time to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done. | |
| You go to these meetings, it was never about how do we find common ground with the other side and get something done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And let me be clear. | |
| I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself. | ||
| And I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7. Unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival. | ||
| At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. | ||
| So many innocent lives lost. | ||
| Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety over and over again. | ||
| The world of suffering is heartbreaking. | ||
| President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, | ||
| security, freedom, and self-determination. | ||
| And know this, I will never hesitate to take Whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists, I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim Jong-un who are rooting for Trump! | ||
| Who are rooting for Trump! | ||
| Yeah, because peace was so bad. | ||
| Peace with our enemies was so bad. | ||
| It sucked so bad. | ||
| They know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. | ||
| They know Trump won't hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat himself. | ||
| And as president, I will never waver in defense of America's security and ideals because in the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, I know where I stand and I know where the United States belongs. | ||

Dude, tone's all wrong here, man. | |
| It's like, just... | ||
| That ain't it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| So, fellow Americans... | ||
| Alright, wrap it up. | ||
| Wrap it up. | ||
| Wrap it up! | ||
| I... | ||
| I love our country with all my heart. | ||
| Everywhere I go... | ||
| Here comes the accent. | ||
| Everywhere... | ||
| Everywhere I go, in everyone I meet, I see a nation that is ready to move forward. | ||
| Ready for the next step in the incredible journey that is America. | ||
| I see an America where we hold fast to the fearless belief that built our nation and inspired the world. | ||
| In this country, anything is possible. | ||
| That nothing is out of reach. | ||
| And America, where we care for one another, look out for one another, and recognize that we have so much more in common than what separates us. | ||
| That none of us, none of us has to fail for all of us to succeed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| None of us have to fail for all of us to succeed? | ||
| That sounds like some commie garbly-gook. | ||
| It is terrible! | ||
| Never let anyone tell you who you are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You show them who you are. | |
| Do you know that she has a mother? | ||
| America! | ||
| Do you know that she has a mom? | ||

unidentified

Not very tall, either. | |
| Let us show each other in the world who we are and what we stand for. | ||
| Freedom, opportunity, compassion. | ||
| Dignity, fairness, and endless possibilities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think I said those things back in 2006 in my re-election. | |
| Oh, man, she's stealing your best line. | ||
| We are the heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world. | ||
| And on behalf of our children and our grandchildren and all... | ||
| who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty. | ||
| We must be worthy of this moment. | ||
| It is now our turn to do what generations before us have done. | ||
| Say unburdened. | ||
| Unburdened. | ||
| To fight for the ideals we cherish and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth. | ||
| The privilege and pride of being an American. | ||
| You know... | ||
| When I want to convince you of something, then I'm very serious. | ||
| What I do is I tell you it like this. | ||
| Let's fight for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what I do. | |
| I'm good. | ||
| She's done. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This should be it. | |
| This is it. | ||
| Long on platitudes, very short on substance. | ||
| And so many other platitudes brought with dishonesty. | ||
| Just not true. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| God bless you. | ||

unidentified

Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come. | |
| United States of America. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Come, girl. | ||
| Come, girl. | ||
| She did say... | ||
| She never won't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She didn't say, um... | |
| Coconut? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| She didn't say, do not come. | ||
| Do not come. | ||
| She didn't say that. | ||
| That's one of my favorite lines. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh... | |
| Governor? | ||
| How about the, uh... | ||
| Yeah, let's cut the music and, like, listen to the actual professional successful politician here who, uh... | ||
| Can you sort of give us an autopsy on what we just saw? | ||
| If you're still awake. | ||
| No. | ||
| I'm barely hanging on, I've got to tell you. | ||
| She delivered a speech that was written and she read it off the teleprompter. | ||
| I think her delivery was pretty good. | ||
| I think that what she said, as I said, is filled with all kinds of dishonest statements. | ||
| They polled this stuff. | ||
| They've been planning a campaign like this, whether she was the nominee or Biden. | ||
| To run against Trump. | ||
| That's why they trumped up the fake criminal charges months before in preparation for this, because they can't answer the fact that, you know, gross shot up the shot up. | ||
| But like, just have some two boxes. | ||
| Groceries cost 20 percent more now than they did when Trump was president. | ||
| Loaf of bread is 54 percent more now than when Trump was president. | ||
| Milk is 50 percent more now than when Trump was president. | ||
| A dozen eggs, 126%. | ||
| The price of gas is significantly higher than it was when Trump was president. | ||
| People were working more. | ||
| The economy was better. | ||
| People felt good about the country. | ||
| The reality is that if you poll the American people and ask them, do you think the country is going the right direction or the wrong direction, something like 71% in the recent poll I saw says wrong direction. | ||
| And so she's got to say these things and talk about things and really not address the record at all because she can't. | ||
| And it's all about trying to do it. | ||
| Do what they're doing to Trump and then couple that with a lot of statements that weren't true and all these generalizations and platitudes. | ||
| We all love America, although the irony is this Democrat Party really doesn't. | ||
| And when you say to the traditional Democrat, I should say these new Democrats, this is the, and I truly believe this to be the case, the most unusual, greatest country in world history in spite of all of our problems, a place where somebody like me, you know, a son of an immigrant, become governor of Illinois, somebody like her can become You know, Democratic nominee for president. | ||
| A guy like Trump can take what his dad started and take it to a whole new level. | ||
| All kinds of great stories. | ||
| Only in America. | ||
| It's why immigrants want to come here. | ||
| But you say that to these crazy left-wing lunatic fringe Democrats who now control this party, the socialist wing of the party, who use Marxist tactics. | ||
| You say that to them. | ||
| They don't say America's great. | ||
| All they do is look back in history and point out some of the flaws that have been corrected and are we're correcting still, which is how the human dynamic works. | ||
| So, you know, she's saying, oh, we're Americans and, you know, all these patriotic things. | ||
| I don't know that most of the people she was talking to there really believe that, other than the fact that it polls well for most Americans, because most Americans still love our country. | ||
| But this party is just not recognizable to me, and their priorities are not about who they're supposed to be for, and that's like everyday, ordinary working people, and they just keep lying to us to pretend like they are. | ||
| The proof's in the pudding. | ||
| The economy sucks now. | ||
| It was great under Trump. | ||
| And the only way they can beat Trump is to try to destroy him personally because Trump is leading a movement that's very different from what's happened in American politics over the past two generations or more. | ||
| He's building a new political party, building new coalitions, and he's taken away traditional Democrat working people like me. | ||
| Joining this new Republican Party, and he's reaching into the black community and the Latino community and making this Republican Party very different. | ||
| That's why these Democrats hate Trump so much, because they're afraid if he's successful, they're not going to be the same party anymore. | ||
| They're going to have to regroup, and they'll go away, because the Democrat Party is really just about coalitions, not about any central ideology. | ||
| Can you explain to me the central ideology of, yeah, the nation's in shambles. | ||
| Yes, it's going to hell in a handbasket. | ||
| The dumpster is on fire. | ||
| I've been in power for the last, you know, four years. | ||
| Yeah, my party's been pretty much in unified power for the last 20 years. | ||
| But it's Donald Trump's fault! | ||
| Can you explain that to me? | ||
| Like, are people gonna buy that? | ||
| What was the last part, Benny? | ||
| That it's Donald Trump's fault. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Somehow, like, this guy that was hamstrung every second he was in office. | ||
| Every bad thing is his fault. | ||
| It seems a lot like ghost chasing to me. | ||
| Yeah, the whole Russia collusion stuff and everything they did from the very beginning when he became president, all fake and phony lies. | ||
| They've been doing it since Trump started his campaign and became someone that surprised the establishment because he had real support from real people all across the country. | ||
| We're sick and tired of this phony baloney politics. | ||
| I think the challenge... | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| This election is Trump's to lose. | ||
| When the American people think we're in the wrong direction, the party in power is in a position to lose unless the party challenging doesn't run the right race. | ||
| So for Trump, he's got to execute his campaign the right way, and he's going to win. | ||
| The Democrats have won the White House 13 times in the last 100 years and have never won the White House without winning Pennsylvania except for one time in 1948 with Harry Truman. | ||
| In other words, they have to win Pennsylvania. | ||
| I believe Trump's going to win Pennsylvania. | ||
| I believe she's a weaker candidate in Pennsylvania than even Biden was, notwithstanding all of Biden's difficulties, because Biden comes from Delaware. | ||
| He's got that working-class background. | ||
| He's like a likable Joe guy. | ||
| He appeals more, connects more with a regular working guy than she does. | ||
| And the fact that she passed up on that governor from Pennsylvania because he's Jewish, and that's why she didn't pick him, I think Trump's going to win Pennsylvania. | ||
| And if that's the case, he's going to win the election. | ||
| He'll win other places, too. | ||
| But for Trump to win, and I believe he's going to, and I believe he'll execute because this guy's, you know, smart, and he knows what he's doing, and he's got professionals with him. | ||
| They've got to simply expose her. | ||
| The American people don't know her, and they're going to like, probably, you know, she'll get a little bit of a boost after this speech. | ||
| I'm not so sure it'll be that big, though. | ||
| I think maybe a little bit. | ||
| But I don't think much, because here's the thing. | ||
| Most Americans don't know her. | ||
| Don't know anything about her. | ||
| So the baloney she was spewing, they're going to say, oh, she sounds pretty good on some of the things because she's basically saying stuff that they polled. | ||
| All these things she was saying are things that the American people support. | ||
| When Trump exposes her with, you know, the ads, you know, social media, shows like yours, her record, that's not a record the American people are going to support because she is to the left of Bernie Sanders. | ||
| And we're looking at it. | ||
| A socialist candidate for president and her running mate is a socialist. | ||
| And the American people don't want socialism because one thing about socialism, they talk about equity and equality. | ||
| The only thing that's equal in socialism is what Winston Churchill said, okay? | ||
| The equal sharing of misery. | ||
| Equal misery. | ||
| It doesn't push people up, it pulls people down. | ||
| Okay, I'm sitting here trying to figure out, did she enumerate a single policy? | ||
| No. | ||
| Did she enumerate a single new policy? | ||
| Did she like a single thing, like anything? | ||
| I was listening and I was like talking some shit, but like I was listening in to what she has to say. | ||
| And if she was like, hey, you know, here's how we're going to fix the housing market. | ||
| We're going to do this, this, this, and this, this incentive and this and that. | ||
| Like, no, she didn't say anything. | ||
| Exactly right. | ||
| She didn't say anything. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| She's like the country's in shambles going to hell in a handbasket. | ||
| And then she's like, but did you know Trump's orange and he's Hitler? | ||
| And that was it. | ||
| And then that was it. | ||
| Okay, well, thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'm done here. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| I don't understand how they get past that. | ||
| I'm not sure how you get past not having any policies, not being able to enumerate. | ||
| Yeah, sure, you can name problems, but aren't you the problem? | ||
| Since you got to the power, weren't you the problem? | ||
| Right, and you've got to explain this to the American people. | ||
| They need a dialogue. | ||
| They're going to run a campaign where they limit her access to the media so she doesn't say things that... | ||
| Is unscripted. | ||
| That's what they've been doing so far. | ||
| So the campaign, the Trump campaign's responsibility to expose that stuff. | ||
| She's got the advantage of having the corporate media behind her. | ||
| And they've lost all credibility because they're in the tank for the Democrat Party. | ||
| So the new media, shows like yours, these different streaming services and social media and all these different ways where messages are coming out these days, it's really elevated Trump. | ||
| It's changing politics, and the good news is you don't have to rely just on ABC, NBC, or CBS anymore to get news. | ||
| You can go to other places to get it. | ||
| And that, I think, spells great opportunity for the Trump campaign to expose who she really is. | ||
| And again, defund the police. | ||
| She's for that. | ||
| I don't care what she says now, but she said she was for that. | ||
| She's on record. | ||
| There's all kinds of tape of her saying it. | ||
| She said, let's eliminate private health insurance. | ||
| She absolutely said she's against fracking, which in western Pennsylvania is a huge issue. | ||
| It costs all kinds of jobs. | ||
| She can't win Pennsylvania being against fracking. | ||
| So she's going to flip-flop, and every one of those flip-flops are going to be lies. | ||
| And every time she does it, coupled with other things, her credibility will go down. | ||
| And I predict that when this election is over, if it's properly run by Trump, she's going to have real high negatives. | ||
| Donald Trump is on on Fox News, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Let's go ahead and have a listen here. | ||
| Our team sort of locks it in. | ||
| I closed the border and created the safest border we've ever had in the history of our country. | ||
| She could have done all of these things and she could still do them. | ||
| She's got four and a half, five months left. | ||
| She can go there right now. | ||
| She can do all of the things, many of the things that you're talking about and complaining about. | ||
| It was a lot of complaining. | ||
| She didn't talk about China. | ||
| She didn't talk about fracking. | ||
| She didn't talk about crime. | ||
| She didn't talk about... | ||
| 70% of our people are living in poverty. | ||
| She didn't talk about housing, really. | ||
| The trade deficit, she didn't talk about. | ||
| Child trafficking that she's allowed to happen because she was the border czar and she presided over the weakest border in the history of our country. | ||
| It's an invasion. | ||
| I was there today, as you know, Brett. | ||
| It's an invasion of our country taking place at our border, our southern border. | ||
| It's a total invasion. | ||
| And now it's starting at our northern border also, through Canada. | ||
| And she didn't talk about any of that, because she talks, but she doesn't do it. | ||
| It's no action. | ||
| But, you know, look, other than that, it was a nice-looking room. | ||
| Mr. President, Martha McCallum here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She said that she had a promising... | |
| Middle-class tax cuts, and she says that if you are elected, it will cost Americans $3,900 more a year in increased taxes. | ||
| She's tying all of that to this Project 2025. | ||
| That's where that number is coming from. | ||
| What do you say to that? | ||
| Well, she knows I have nothing to do with Project 25. They throw it out. | ||
| A group of people got together. | ||
| They did a thing. | ||
| I haven't even seen it. | ||
| I don't want to see it. | ||
| I told them specifically. | ||
| I don't want to see it. | ||
| People know where I stand. | ||
| I lower taxes. | ||
| She's raising taxes. | ||
| She's going to give. | ||
| A tax increase of four to five times what people and companies are paying right now. | ||
| The country will go into a depression if they do it. | ||
| She didn't talk about interest rates. | ||
| I mean, the interest rates are now getting close to record rates. | ||
| People can't do business. | ||
| Nobody can borrow money. | ||
| People can't go to the American dream and buy a house because they can't afford the interest rate. | ||
| And even if they could, the money isn't available. | ||
| She didn't talk about any of that. | ||
| Now, if she got in, look, she's a Marxist. | ||
| She always was. | ||
| She always will be. | ||
| She's going to leave the border open. | ||
| I was there today, and the Border Patrol, as you know, gave me total endorsements and all of that. | ||
| I've gotten endorsed by almost every major police group in the United States. | ||
| But she is a Marxist with open borders. | ||
| She's not going to have any fracking in Pennsylvania. | ||
| She's going to close down the oil and gas industry, and our country is going to go bust. | ||
| She didn't talk about the $35 trillion, which I was going to start paying off with liquid gold that we have right under our feet. | ||
| We were going to start paying off debt, lowering taxes still further. | ||
| And, you know, she wants to raise the taxes on corporations. | ||
| What they're going to do is pick up and move to another country, like the pharmaceutical industry, move to Ireland, and they move to other places. | ||
| Many of these industries were just very... | ||
| They're international companies. | ||
| If she raises taxes like she wants to do on companies, there go those jobs. | ||
| I'm more interested in the jobs than the companies. | ||
| But there go those jobs. | ||
| And what's going to happen, Martha, they're going to pick up, they're going to move to another country. | ||
| I THINK I'M GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THEIR OWN TAXES. | ||
| THEY'RE GOING TO PICK UP AND MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PROMISED TAXES AT HALF THE NUMBERS THAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT AND MORE THAN THAT. | ||
| MR. PRESIDENT, ON THE ISSUE OF IMMIGRATION, VICE She said she will sign that bipartisan bill. | ||
| She, to your point, doesn't talk about executive orders that could have been launched in the beginning of the Biden administration. | ||
| But how do you respond to that? | ||
| And are you ready to debate Kamala Harris on September 10th, given what you heard tonight? | ||
| Well, number one debate on September 4th at Fox, and she turned it down. | ||
| Because, as you know, Brett, I was willing to debate with you and Martha. | ||
| I was going to debate on September 4th. | ||
| She turned it down. | ||
| And I'm willing to debate on... | ||
| I don't like ABC. | ||
| I think ABC is probably the worst of the group. | ||
| But I'm willing to do ABC. | ||
| I was willing to do CNN with Joe Biden, and you saw what happened there. | ||
| I mean, CNN does not treat me or Republicans very good. | ||
| But I was willing to do it because it was the only way I could get to debate him and ask him how that turned out. | ||
| But look, I am willing to debate, and I think we should do much more than one debate. | ||
| But you know better than anybody, I'm ready, willing and able because I told you yes and she turned you down. | ||
| And on the immigration issue? | ||
| On the immigration, it's very simple. | ||
| The bill was horrible. | ||
| It would have allowed millions of people to pour into our country. | ||
| It was horrible. | ||
| It was a horrible bill. | ||
| It was a joke. | ||
| She doesn't need a bill. | ||
| I didn't have a bill. | ||
| I closed the border. | ||
| I had the safest border in the history of our country. | ||
| I closed it up. | ||
| As president, now she'll have to get Joe to do it, but she could probably have a lot to do with that, right? | ||
| Now Joe's missing. | ||
| He's on a beach in California. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| All she has to do or all he has to do is say, I want to close the border. | ||
| The border is closed as of now. | ||
| They don't need bills. | ||
| They don't want to close the border. | ||
| I stood at the border today in 100-degree weather, and I will tell you, it's a dangerous place. | ||
| And I was being told by Secret Service and a lot of other law enforcement, sir, it's really dangerous here. | ||
| I think it's time to leave. | ||
| You wouldn't believe the things that I saw at that border. | ||
| She's the border czar. | ||
| Now she wants to deny that, but she's the border czar. | ||
| In any event, she was in charge of the border. | ||
| She's the worst border czar in the history of the world. | ||
| There's never been a border so unsafe as this one. | ||
| Twenty people, 20 million people, have poured into our country, many of them from prisons and jails, from mental institutions, an insane asylum, and record number of parents. | ||
| And other countries are releasing their prisoners from their jails. | ||
| They're emptying out their jails into the United States of America because of her incompetence and her bad border policies. | ||
| She is a horrible... | ||
| Horrible person to run this country. | ||
| We won't have a country if she gets elected. | ||
| Let me ask you this, sir. | ||
| There has been a huge appeal and momentum for women voters. | ||
| She's trying to pull the youth vote, the Hispanic vote, the black vote back in her direction. | ||
| Polls show that she's having some success in that at this point. | ||
| So what are you going to do? | ||
| What's your strategy to rebuild the momentum that you had with those voters? | ||
| No, she's not having success. | ||
| I'm having success. | ||
| I'm doing great with the Hispanic voters. | ||
| I'm doing great with black men. | ||
| I'm doing great with women because women want safety. | ||
| They want safety. | ||
| And they don't have safety when they have somebody allowing 20 million people into our country, many of them very dangerous people. | ||
| No, it's only in your eyes that they have that, Martha. | ||
| We're doing very well in the polls. | ||
| We're leading in most of the polls. | ||
| Swing state, we're leading in almost every one of them. | ||
| Mr. President, let me interrupt. | ||
| The autoworkers are voting for me because you're not going to have an auto industry if she gets elected. | ||
| They're going to all electric cars. | ||
| All electric cars are going to be made in China. | ||
| And you're not going to have — you literally will not have — An auto industry. | ||
| The United Auto Workers ought to be ashamed of themselves. | ||
| They sold the workers down the tube. | ||
| Two quick things as we wrap up here, Mr. President. | ||
| Tomorrow, do you expect to be endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? | ||
| And are you making a specific effort in Georgia to make up, if you will, with the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp? | ||
| Well, I just saw Brian on a very good man. | ||
| Did you ever hear of a man named Sean Hannity? | ||
| And he was interviewed by Sean Hannity. | ||
| And he was very nice, and he said he wants Trump to win, and he's going to work with me 100%. | ||
| And I think we're going to have a very good relationship with Brian Kemp. | ||
| And that was on just before you people went on with that speech that we just listened to. | ||
| And RFK Jr.? | ||
| It just happened. | ||
| And as far as RFK, I've had a great relationship with him over the years. | ||
| I respect him. | ||
| He respects me. | ||
| I have no idea if he's going to endorse me. | ||
| I know he's got a news conference. | ||
| We happen to be in. | ||
| The same state. | ||
| Arizona will be in the same state, but in quite different parts of the state. | ||
| But it's possible we will be meeting tomorrow and we'll be discussing it. | ||
| He said, look, he was treated very unfairly by the Democrats. | ||
| He would have beaten Joe Biden in a Democrat primary. | ||
| I have no doubt about it. | ||
| And they made it absolutely impossible for him. | ||
| They made it that you have to get 60, 70 percent of the vote just to get in. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| In the end, the Democrats did the same thing to Joe Biden. | ||
| They threw Joe Biden out of the party. | ||
| That's why we saw a different night tonight. | ||
| Mr. President, thank you so much for the time. | ||
| We appreciate that live feedback. | ||
| Stay right there. | ||
| Live edition of Gutfeld is coming up. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us from Chicago. | ||
| It's been a great week. | ||
| Let Trump cook. | ||
| Let him cook. | ||
| Let Trump cook. | ||
| Okay, so that was Trump. | ||
| Trump's genius. | ||
| You never hear that, like an immediate rebuttal. | ||
| By the candidate? | ||
| No, he's very different. | ||
| It's beautiful what he just did because he pointed out the things that the campaign will do to point those things out to the voters. | ||
| And this is why I think it's his to lose. | ||
| He's got to execute. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So the polling. | ||
| Talk us through this. | ||
| Polling cannot be. | ||
| And you advise the president. | ||
| I mean, you and Trump are close. | ||
| Trump knows you. | ||
| Trump likes you. | ||
| Trump wants you to run for office. | ||
| He might. | ||
| I love Donald Trump because look what he did for me. | ||
| He gave my daughters, my little girls, their father back. | ||
| He didn't have to do it. | ||
| I was a Democrat governor. | ||
| Sitting in prison on nine crimes. | ||
| Victim of weaponized prosecutors. | ||
| And I fought back. | ||
| I would never give in. | ||
| They dangled light sentences. | ||
| I wouldn't take it. | ||
| And they were at one point threatening me with 30 to life. | ||
| 30 years of life. | ||
| I never took a penny. | ||
| No one even says I did. | ||
| It was all politics. | ||
| And Obama started it. | ||
| Reached out to make a political deal with me. | ||
| So they criminalized it with me. | ||
| And he goes to the White House anyway. | ||
| Trump. | ||
| Pulls me out of prison. | ||
| Because I knew him just a little bit from that show Celebrity Apprentice. | ||
| And he was so good to me then. | ||
| And I saw sides of Donald Trump that people don't really see. | ||
| Off camera. | ||
| Not a politician. | ||
| So kind to people on a day-to-day basis. | ||
| Really kind to my little girls when their father was facing all of this terrible stuff. | ||
| So I know him a little bit. | ||
| And we have a unique bond because when you go through what I went through. | ||
| Victimized by weaponized prosecutors, rigged trials. | ||
| They tried me twice, used a fake standard to get convictions like they did the same thing with Trump in New York. | ||
| When they do that to you, meaning me, the governor, and now he goes through it, really there's only a couple of guys in the world who have gone through it at that level. | ||
| Politics sort of creates a bond. | ||
| So if I was against pretty much every one of the issues he was for, which I'm not, but if I was, I'd still be for him because he's a good person. | ||
| And I've been around enough Bullshit politicians in both parties where I, in my experience, I feel like I'm voting for the better person. | ||
| You know, maybe I disagree with that person on X, Y, and Z, but he's the better person, and that person will try to do more the right things as opposed to just the politically expedient things. | ||
| And almost all of the politicians today are all about political expediency, and that woman who just gave that speech is 100%. | ||
| All about political expediency. | ||
| She has no convictions. | ||
| She has no determination to try to fix the problems of the country. | ||
| They had three years to do it, and they didn't do what Trump was right to say it. | ||
| So you're asking me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, the polls, like the landscape, what do you see? | |
| In today's America, where we can't trust, of course, politicians and, you know, used car salesmen, lawyers. | ||
| You can't trust the media. | ||
| A lot of our institutions have been compromised. | ||
| I truly believe you can't trust the Department of Justice. | ||
| I know you can't in my experience. | ||
| Can't trust the polls. | ||
| And the polls are not fair reflections at all about what the horse race is. | ||
| The polls are political weapons used to try to persuade voters to go a certain way. | ||
| It's a form of propaganda. | ||
| And this inundation of the polls once she got in the race, so much of that is baloney. | ||
| And they can do samples. | ||
| They're really polling, but they do samples where they oversample certain voters that won't really vote in the election at that percentage. | ||
| And so they oversample in some places to jack up their candidate. | ||
| If you really want to know what the polls are saying, the real polls, because when you run for office, and I've won every election, they've all been hardly contested. | ||
| You've got to rely on the polling. | ||
| It develops your game plan. | ||
| You really want to know what the private polling of the candidates is showing, see how they run their race, the stuff they're talking about, and the places they go. | ||
| And that'll give you a sense of who's really doing well and who's not. | ||
| And the fact that Trump's doing what he's doing is a strong sign. | ||
| He knows what his polling is showing. | ||
| He knows where he's got to go and the things he's got to do to win. | ||
| And what you're seeing with these Democrats with that speech tonight is a reflection that their polls show the only way that they can win is to destroy Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that guy's been name-dropped. | ||
| It's not the Democrat convention. | ||
| It's the anti-Trump hate fest. | ||
| Burn the guy in effigy. | ||
| Tear it all down. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| They've lied about it for so long. | ||
| We're in Trump Tower right now. | ||
| It's amazing this tower is still standing and these people are so fueled with hatred for Trump. | ||
| They got no other vision. | ||
| Not even their candidate was giving the vision. | ||
| I still can't get over that. | ||
| She didn't lay out a single policy, man. | ||
| How do you get away? | ||
| You get fired, right? | ||
| Like for your job. | ||
| It's your job. | ||
| Benny, it's another form of being dishonest again. | ||
| Think about this. | ||
| You go buy a house, right? | ||
| And, you know, the realtor takes you and the seller's got the house. | ||
| If a seller and the realtor materially fail to disclose something, in other words, they fail to disclose a material issue in the house, that's fraud, right? | ||
| When they don't tell you something. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| In many ways, that was a fraudulent speech in the sense that she's not telling you anything really substantial, right? | ||
| And we have a right to know as the voters. | ||
| And now when she goes out and is going to avoid the media and maybe we'll do just a couple here and there so they can say they did it. | ||
| It's another form of failing to disclose. | ||
| She's so brave. | ||
| They do this big story. | ||
| She's so brave. | ||
| She's so strong. | ||
| She hadn't done an interview. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Stand up to the biggest special interest. | ||
| She hadn't done an interview, man. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| It's a really soft kid glove shadow boxing interview with your friendly corporate media. | ||
| She hasn't done it. | ||
| The American people are sick and tired of being lied to. | ||
| I really believe that. | ||
| It's a genius move by Trump to call in. | ||
| Just Bigfoot the speech? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Donald Trump on the messaging there. | ||
| Quick takeaways. | ||
| Donald Trump's messaging seemed to be like, hold on. | ||
| You're complaining about problems. | ||
| You're in office, lady. | ||
| His messaging was beautiful because he said specifically the major problems facing the American people in our country today. | ||
| He talked about every one of those and talked about the things that he wanted to do to fix those things. | ||
| And the fact that he brought those up just highlights the absence of those things in her speech. | ||
| She didn't talk about any of those things, just about any of those things. | ||
| She didn't say the word immigration. | ||
| She didn't say the word inflation. | ||
| She didn't say these words. | ||
| And those are the two things. | ||
| That's like 90% of the electorate. | ||
| That's the number one and number two issue. | ||
| Open borders and inflation. | ||
| And she didn't say those words at all in the speech. | ||
| She talked about her mom, though. | ||
| Do you know her mom's short? | ||
| I was going to say that's the takeaway. | ||
| Trump's telling you about what he wants to do with the border. | ||
| He's telling you about fracking. | ||
| He's telling you about China and jobs being out, cars being built, electric cars being built in China. | ||
| And she's talking about our takeaway is her mother was short. | ||
| Can I say something? | ||
| It's really important for people to also realize that Most Americans don't believe the system and are filled without, don't trust it. | ||
| And Trump's straight talk, it's why he's getting support in the black community, especially among black men who appreciate his authenticity. | ||
| This stuff is politically perfect. | ||
| The timing couldn't be better because we're sick of being lied to. | ||
| And sometimes he's a little bit rough in some of the things he says, but there's an honesty to that. | ||
| And I think people really appreciate that. | ||
| And I think, too, because Trump's been around now as long as he has as a large, major, the most significant political figure in America since 2015, 2016, we know who he is. | ||
| We don't know her. | ||
| And the Trump campaign will expose her. | ||
| And we're going to see a socialist who uses Marxist tactics. | ||
| And her vision for America is socialist. | ||
| And it's a party. | ||
| That doesn't care about working people anymore. | ||
| They just pander and talk about these different things. | ||
| And the answer to the problems isn't to lift people up, it's to pull people down and bring everybody down to the same lower level where the other people are that they claim they're for instead of giving them a chance to go up. | ||
| Yo, that was the craziest line of her speech. | ||
| The craziest line of her speech was you don't... | ||
| How did she say it? | ||
| Nobody needs to fail for people to be successful. | ||
| Huh? | ||
| Like, hold on. | ||
| Like, what are you talking about? | ||
| Like, you've clearly never had a job in the public sector. | ||
| You've never tried to start a business, right? | ||
| Even just baking cookies. | ||
| Like, you've never tried to do anything in your life. | ||
| Nobody needs to fail for you to be successful. | ||
| For someone to be successful, that doesn't mean we all need to fail. | ||
| Huh? | ||
| Like, you don't understand risk and reward like in life. | ||
| You don't understand the laws of gravity, lady. | ||
| You're a cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. | ||
| Some of the best things that happen in life to us are when we fail. | ||
| Yes, that's exactly right. | ||
| That's how you grow. | ||
| Is our country going to be safe and strong, prosperous and secure? | ||
| The choice is very clear. | ||
| Trump, if you want that, that's your choice. | ||
| If you want Venezuela, if you want socialism, if you want a combination of wage controls that lead to scarcity and starvation coupled with KGB Soviet-style police state politics where you weaponize prosecutors to go after your political opponents, if you want that, vote for this Democratic ticket. | ||
| I just want to give you the final word here. | ||
| Final word here because it's an honor to have you on the program. | ||
| It's an honor to meet you. | ||
| Again, the state and the city where we are is a great American city, and this was a much better state when you were running it, and this was a much safer and better city and more vibrant city when you were the governor of this state. | ||
| And that's just fact. | ||
| That's just an indisputable fact. | ||
| What does this party... | ||
| In this speech, you were cringing. | ||
| I'm not sure if you could hear it on the microphone, but you were just kind of cringing as you were watching it. | ||
| What happened to this party? | ||
| What does this mean, this Kamala Harris moment, as somebody who really made your bones in a corporate Democrat party on a higher level? | ||
| The party's been hijacked by the socialists. | ||
| That's where the power and the energy of the party is. | ||
| To the extent that it has any kind of philosophy on anything, it's a socialist left-wing philosophy. | ||
| As I said before, pulling people down, not pushing people up. | ||
| And it's got a strange coalition of these Silicon Valley billionaires who benefit in the way things are. | ||
| Wall Street financiers who are backing it also because they've got to play it safe and play that side in case they take over. | ||
| And these Hollywood movie stars. | ||
| That's the new Democratic Party. | ||
| It's not the waitress anymore who serves you your meal at your restaurant. | ||
| It's not the guy who's digging ditches on a construction site or working the assembly line at a factory. | ||
| That used to be the Democrat Party. | ||
| They don't speak to their issues. | ||
| Their priorities are not about those people. | ||
| It's, frankly, about re-vasectomies and some crazy shit like that, this lunatic fringe that puts out. | ||
| You know what I'm talking about? | ||
| That's the new Democrat Party. | ||
| That's where their energy is. | ||
| And it's really interesting. | ||
| It's migrants over working people and poor people. | ||
| It's gangbangers over cops. | ||
| This is a fact. | ||
| I know this Democrat Party because I was a Democrat. | ||
| It's bureaucrats over parents and parental rights. | ||
| And it's woke and cancel culture over free speech. | ||
| That's the new Democrat Party. | ||
| And I can't imagine the American people, if they realize that, are for any of those things. | ||
| It's not good, man. | ||
| It's no bueno. | ||
| No bueno. | ||
| That's got to be sad because actually it's kind of scary to have a political party that's all down for that kind of stuff because there's only two political parties in the country. | ||
| So like one of them can't be so effed. | ||
| It's frightening if, you know, God forbid they win. | ||
| I almost want to go back to prison. | ||
| Okay, so I will say this, and then we're going to bring on the great Jimmy Dore. | ||
| I will say this, and I wonder if Jimmy Dore agrees with me. | ||
| Please don't unsubscribe. | ||
| Please don't unsubscribe, because you may not like what I'm about to say. | ||
| But it's true, and I feel it in my heart of hearts. | ||
| I endorse the Democrat policy of castrating all their men. | ||
| I endorse it, okay? | ||
| I fully—can I donate to it? | ||
| Can I take a collection at church? | ||
| How many vasectomies can I fund for communists? | ||
| I will do it. | ||
| It might hurt. | ||
| I will reach into my pocket. | ||
| I will personally help you snip your balls off. | ||
| I'll do it in the back of a van. | ||
| I'll make sure you get into a dodgy van, no windows, going down a bumpy road, south side of Chicago. | ||
| There's a couple bricks missing. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| You might end up Jewish by the end of it. | ||
| Either way, I'm telling you— I'll fund it, okay? | ||
| That's my promise to you. | ||
| I endorse that platform of the Democratic Party. | ||
| I love you, okay? | ||
| Democrat men, hear me. | ||
| Can I save you some money? | ||
| I'll save you some money. | ||
| You don't have to. | ||
| They've already emasculated those guys. | ||
| Governor, it's been so awesome. | ||
|

|
Thanks, Benny. | |
| Appreciate you. | ||
| It's been amazing. | ||
| Keep up the good work. | ||
| So sorry this was so painful. | ||
| Well, the speech was, but you're great. | ||
| All right, all right. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Appreciate it. | |
| All right. | ||
| The man. | ||
| The man. | ||
| Okay, Jimmy, what's going on, man? | ||
| What a great program. | ||
| You got the great Jimmy Dore. | ||
| Guys, we were doing three shots earlier in the week, but tonight the timing is just going to work out just right. | ||
| And we got some legends in the household. | ||
| And Jimmy's got an old-fashioned? | ||
| A Negroni. | ||
| A Negroni? | ||
| Rolling through. | ||
| Man, I got some water here. | ||
| I'll pretend it's vodka. | ||
| So, what are we thinking, ladies and gentlemen? | ||
| We said, why not, if we're going to do the speech, if we're going to do the speech, we said, how about the great governor, Rob Luglovich, great governor, amazing job, good man, a guy, this state was a much better state when he was running it. | ||
| I don't care what you think about it. | ||
| We thought that he would have the governor because he'd be able to really, like, lean in on the politics of the DNC and of the state of Illinois, obviously. | ||
| And then we got to bring in Jimmy Dore because we need a comedian to make some sense of what the hell just happened. | ||
| So knowing what I know about Rob Legoy, what I know about politics now is that... | ||
| He was doing regular politics, and they decided to criminalize it, right? | ||
| He was trying to get something for... | ||
| There was a Senate seat that was open, right? | ||
| And so he wanted to use that as a leverage to negotiate stuff for himself, which I'm... | ||
| Betting every governor does who has... | ||
| That's just politics, man. | ||
| And so they decided to, just like they're doing against Donald Trump right now, they're doing lawfare against him. | ||
| They're making normal real estate deals now into some kind of crime. | ||
| And normal things that you would do to contest an election, they're turning that into a crime. | ||
| And so it was great to meet him and see him because... | ||
| When I started my show in Los Angeles, it was called Pop and Politics at the UCB Theater, which is a very... | ||
| Anyway, so I used to do an impression of him. | ||
| I don't do impressions, but I would just put on a wig because he has that incredible head of hair. | ||
| It does. | ||
| And so I would put on a wig and I would come out and I'd be Rob Blagojevich and I would swear a lot. | ||
| Exactly what he said. | ||
| He said, you've got me to swear. | ||
| I go, yeah, I would swear a lot. | ||
| Anyway, but yeah, so now I feel like he got set up. | ||
| And just like Trump has been set up and again, I've never voted for Trump. | ||
| But here's what I tell people, right? | ||
| There is a faction of the you don't have to like Trump to understand or see what's happening with Trump, right? | ||
| So what's happening is as soon as he beat Hillary Clinton and even before the deep state, meaning the CIA, And the FBI concocted Russiagate in conjunction with the Clinton campaign. | ||
| And what did they do? | ||
| They did that. | ||
| They got the media to go along with them because they had the same people who concocted that are the same people who control the media. | ||
| So Russiagate became ubiquitous. | ||
| I was one of the first ones, if not the first show, to debunk it because I brought on Bill Binney, who was an NSA code breaker, the top code breaker for decades, who the FBI also tried to throw in jail. | ||
| He was so smart. | ||
| He outsmarted them. | ||
| They couldn't. | ||
| But I brought him on my show and he showed me that. | ||
| Technically, there's no way Russia has tapped into the DNC server. | ||
| Technically, he worked that out and he said, so this was done locally, which means Seth Rich did it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so all I did was cover Seth Rich and I got a hit piece put out of me in the in the Washington Post by Dave Weigel, who was a pro Iraq war guy in college. | ||
| That shows you who Jeff Bezos hires to cover progressive politics. | ||
| And so Dave Weigel compared me and put me in an article with white supremacists and literal pedophiles saying this is what YouTube is doing. | ||
| And Jimmy Dore is one of these conspiracy theorists guys. | ||
| Well, it turns out I was right, because now we know that the FBI is not going to release Seth Rich's laptop for 65 years. | ||
| Sixty five years. | ||
| I was like, when I heard that, I was like, does Seth Rich kill Kennedy? | ||
| Like, why don't they want to release his laptop? | ||
| Oh, it's because there is the exact thing that we thought is happening is happening. | ||
| So I just wanted to say that about Rob Lagojevich. | ||
| And it is it is I would I would like to see what has happened if he remained governor. | ||
| And not that I'm a fan of any politician. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because I think it takes a certain type of. | ||
| As Chris Hedges says, the most mediocre of people become politicians. | ||
| And that concludes the people like Kamala Harris. | ||
| That includes people like Barack Obama. | ||
| I saw your video. | ||
| That was an amazing video. | ||
| So you went down to a black neighborhood, Barack Obama's old neighborhood, and you interviewed people and you didn't have to you couldn't throw a swing a dead cat without finding a black person who supported Donald Trump. | ||
| There were lots of dead cats there. | ||
| I kept swinging them. | ||
| And my team's like, please, you're going to get sick. | ||
| You know, you get sick. | ||
| There's going to be a problem here. | ||
| We're going to have to get you rabies shot. | ||
| And I said, you know, I'm. | ||
| I already, I got my shots. | ||
| So, you know, Joe Biden did the crime bill, which locked up, which is responsible for locking up black and brown people at much higher rates than their population. | ||
| And the reason why they did that was because... | ||
| Private prisons, right? | ||
| So prison is a big industry, just like the military industrial complex, which is why the Afghanistan war went on for 20 years. | ||
| The Ukraine war, Joe Biden just signed an executive order that it's going to go on for 10 more years. | ||
| So as Julian Assange has taught us, Benny, and you know this, that these wars are not meant to be won. | ||
| They're meant to be ongoing. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because what Eisenhower said is exactly true. | ||
| We much resist the influence, the undue influence of the military industrial. | ||
| Well, we didn't resist it. | ||
| They now run everything, and Trump's big mistake. | ||
| So what I tell people, what I started to tell, is that there's some faction of the deep state in the establishment that wants to kill Trump. | ||
| They did Russiagate. | ||
| They impeached him four times. | ||
| They tapped his phone. | ||
| They really did do that, right? | ||
| Not only his phone, but the phone of his whole campaign. | ||
| And now they're doing lawfare against him, and then they tried to kill him. | ||
| So there is a part of Trump that the establishment is allergic to so that that is not made up. | ||
| That's manifest. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so you can't deny that about Trump. | ||
| So as much as Trump, I think, in his first presidency, he governed like a regular Republican. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Except. | ||
| He didn't do war like they did. | ||
| Trump made the mistake of thinking that the president controls the military and the deep state. | ||
| And then he was disabused of that idea. | ||
| He found out quickly he does not control the military. | ||
| The military did whatever they wanted behind his back. | ||
| And they lied to him about pulling troops out of places, and they did whatever they wanted. | ||
| And Trump and the president is just a puppet. | ||
| And we know that the president is a puppet of the deep state in the military because Chuck Schumer, when Donald Trump became president, he was on Rachel Maddow. | ||
| I know you know this. | ||
| But let me just restate it that Chuck Schumer, who was the head leading Democrat in the country and the head Democrat in the Senate, was on with Rachel Maddow, the biggest military industrial complex pig that there is on cable news is Rachel Maddow. | ||
| And Chuck Schumer told her to her face in 2016 that Trump, who thinks he's a smart guy, is being really dumb to. | ||
| Call out the intelligence community, meaning the FBI, the CIA, the NSA. | ||
| And Rachel said, what do you mean? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| He said, well, if you mess with the intelligence community, they have six ways to Sunday to mess with Sunday to mess with you back. | ||
| And what does that tell you? | ||
| So what that told us. | ||
| So that's called a gaffe. | ||
| And in Washington, the only time you make a gap is when you accidentally tell the truth. | ||
| And so Chuck Schumer told the truth there. | ||
| And the truth was that. | ||
| The president doesn't control the CIA or the FBI or the NSA. | ||
| They control the president. | ||
| And the president better watch his P's and Q's, and he better be nice to the intelligence community, or they're going to get him back. | ||
| Well, he wasn't nice to them, and they did get him back. | ||
| They did get him back in many ways. | ||
| They got him impeached twice. | ||
| They did Russiagate. | ||
| And right now they're doing lawfare against him. | ||
| And by the way, the FBI planted evidence against him in their investigation at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| We all know that now. | ||
| And he didn't do anything that Joe Biden didn't do. | ||
| Joe Biden didn't even have. | ||
| So anyway, I could go on and on, Benny. | ||
| Let me stop and let you ask me a question. | ||
| Well, this is a perfect setup to RFK Jr. | ||
| RFK Jr. hates the deep state maybe more than Donald Trump does. | ||
| Having your dad killed and your uncle killed, they'll do that to you. | ||
| That'll radicalize a man. | ||
| And the ties that bind seem to be assassination attempts between the two men and their deep, seething hatred of this ghost in the machine, this deep state. | ||
| RFK Jr. | ||
| Presumably drops out tomorrow. | ||
| That's what the reporting is. | ||
| And the reporting also is that he'll endorse Trump. | ||
| Your thoughts on that? | ||
| Your guy who has interesting shades politically. | ||
| And this would be... | ||
| Man, this is a wild look. | ||
| Because you have Elon Musk on one side of Trump. | ||
| You have RFK Jr. on the other side of Trump. | ||
| You have, obviously, the MAGA middle. | ||
| And it seems to be the political unity ticket of a lot of our dreams. | ||
| So, I don't think there's a chance in hell that RFK Jr. endorses Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. | ||
| In fact, I had gotten a pass into the Democratic Convention. | ||
| I got an inside patch, an inner pass, and I was waiting because I wanted to ask Don Lemon. | ||
| Because he was there. | ||
| I saw him, but I couldn't get to him. | ||
| I wanted to ask him, who do you think has a better rack, J.D. Vance or Tim Walz, right? | ||
| And what a better guy to ask than John Lemon, who's gay, and he would know. | ||
| But they both have great racks, let's be honest. | ||
| I would say Tim Walz because he's a little more feminine in a feminine lens. | ||
| He's got a jazz hand situation going on. | ||
| He goes hard on the jazz hands. | ||
| But I've already forgotten the question because I'm three Negronis in. | ||
| Okay, well, RFK Jr. | ||
| Oh, RFK Jr. | ||
| You guys are afraid he's been on your show, no? | ||
| So I have inexplicable great affection for RFK Jr. | ||
| He's appeared in my dreams many times, and I'm a Jungian, so that is important and that's significant. | ||
| But I did depart on him on his Israel policy. | ||
| Now I'm a radical when it comes to Israel, right? | ||
| And so I've been ostracized by Hollywood because of it. | ||
| And, you know, I go so far as to say I don't think Israel has a right to exist. | ||
| No country has a right to exist. | ||
| And that I always thought before October 7th that Israel was invented as a result of the Holocaust. | ||
| And that made sense to me. | ||
| Like, well, we should we should we should give them a state. | ||
| Then I found out that's not what Zionism is. | ||
| Zionism started in the 1800s. | ||
| And then there was the Belfort Declaration, which I didn't know anything about. | ||
| And then there was the Nakaba. | ||
| And so I learned all those things. | ||
| And so all my Jewish friends in Hollywood, New York and Florida feel very safe without having a state of Israel. | ||
| And a lot of my viewers, by the way, disagree with me on this. | ||
| That's how you know my viewership isn't a cult because they disagree with me and they still watch me. | ||
| There's a lot of people who disagree with RFK on our channel, but they love the idea of Donald Trump bringing more Americans into the fold. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And unifying on the things that we agree with. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And it's okay to talk with people who disagree with you. | ||
| And political consensus, that's how political consensus is made inside of a crucible. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And so your thoughts on... | ||
| RFK Jr. perhaps being in a position of a CIA director. | ||
| That would never happen. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I mean, you'd have to be Senate confirmed. | ||
| You'd have to be Senate confirmed. | ||
| That would be a hell of a fight. | ||
| That would be amazing. | ||
| But, you know, he could absolutely serve over... | ||
| How about human health and services? | ||
| Totally. | ||
| How about something like that? | ||
| I would love... | ||
| The freaking FDA! | ||
| How about our pharmaceuticals? | ||
| How our pharmaceuticals get pumped out? | ||
| How about Surgeon General, right? | ||
| So what was revealed was, even by Bill Gates revealed this, that Bobby Kennedy got the air of Donald Trump when it came to vaccines, and they were going to have a Senate vaccine committee to look into the efficacy and the safety of vaccines. | ||
| And why would you be against that? | ||
| Because all we're going to find out is that vaccines are fantastic, right? | ||
| I mean, I would love to have RFK in a position that Trump offered Elon Musk, which is a government accountability, like oversight, right? | ||
| Like an executive oversight of government accountability. | ||
| I would love that too. | ||
| And like armies of lawyers, subpoena power, and the executive branch, sort of a commission. | ||
| And Elon Musk says he will serve on it. | ||
| And they did this during their ex-bases. | ||
| And RFK, I don't know, man. | ||
| They're in Phoenix together. | ||
| They're in Arizona together tomorrow. | ||
| I'm feeling the vibes. | ||
| I think RFK is going to drop out. | ||
| I think he's going to endorse Trump. | ||
| So even though, Benny, you and I may disagree on many policy positions. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like Frederick Douglass said, I will join with anyone to do good. | ||
| And no one to do bad. | ||
| So wherever you and I agree, I would like to join with you to help and push things. | ||
| And where we disagree, I would like to use the power of persuasion to get you to come to my side. | ||
| But I agree with you with the RFK. | ||
| So that's why I think RFK. | ||
| And with he should try to get a position in any administration, whether it's Donald Trump's Kamala Harris or Richard Nixon's or whoever's right, he should try to get because I was I was saying before he wanted to have a vaccine commission before covid happened. | ||
| And Bill Gates got the air of Donald Trump and Bill Gates said, no, don't do that. | ||
| That's a bad thing, which is a direct quote from Bill Gates. | ||
| And so Trump listened to that guy instead of. | ||
| Bobby Kennedy, and that was a mistake. | ||
| Imagine if we had a vaccine commission before COVID. | ||
| Imagine how that would have changed everything, right? | ||
| It would have changed everything. | ||
| So I really hope that no matter who the administration is, if it's Kamala Harris, it'll never be Bobby Kennedy. | ||
| But Trump has a chance to bring Bobby Kennedy in. | ||
| So there's that sliver of a chance. | ||
| So I hope it happens. | ||
| I don't think Bobby Kennedy is going to endorse a Republican, but the Democrats have so screwed over Bobby. | ||
| They're the most undemocratic primaries. | ||
| At least Republicans have Democratic primaries. | ||
| Whoever wins the vote gets to be the thing. | ||
| That's how Trump... | ||
| He's probably smart to run as a Republican because, you know, Trump was he was never Republican or a Democrat until he ran and then he chose the Republican Party. | ||
| Because when Bobby Kennedy came on my show the first time, I gave him a hard time. | ||
| I said, I would like to get excited about your candidacy, but I can't because I know it's a fool's errand. | ||
| Your candidacy is a fool's errand because. | ||
| They have superdelegates in the Democratic Party. | ||
| They don't have that in the Republican Party. | ||
| They have a superdelegate. | ||
| And I said, Bobby, why do you think they have superdelegates? | ||
| So that a guy like you could never become the nominee. | ||
| And soon enough, and he disagreed with me, he fought back. | ||
| He goes, I'm a Democrat. | ||
| My dad was a Democrat. | ||
| My uncle was a Democrat. | ||
| I've been a long-doubt-life Democrat. | ||
| Democrats are better than Republicans. | ||
| He said that on my show. | ||
| And then he ran for president, and he realized those... | ||
| Can I swear on here? | ||
| Those motherfuckers. | ||
| They're the most anti-democratic democrats in the history of the world. | ||
| And so now it's to the point where people believe that he might... | ||
| Endorsed Donald Trump. | ||
| That's how bad the Democrats are. | ||
| That's how bad they are. | ||
| You turned RFK Junior's son, who was an environmental champion of the left for decades. | ||
| People can now go kayaking in the Hudson because of Bobby Kennedy and his lawfare against corporations. | ||
| And now they've been turned into haters of Bobby Kennedy because of the money of Big Pharma, because Democrats under Bill Clinton's tutelage. | ||
| Became the tools of military industrial complex, Wall Street, big pharma and insurance companies and big oil. | ||
| So if you remember, I don't know if you remember, maybe you're too young to remember this, but when Bill Clinton became president, he did a thing called the Democratic Leadership Council, the DLC with Al Gore. | ||
| And that was like, they were going to be the new Democrats, right? | ||
| What did that mean? | ||
| That meant they got so scared by Ronald Reagan that they decided to become tools of Wall Street. | ||
| And so they said, hey, we're open for business. | ||
| And on the Democratic Leadership Council, the DLC, they had Koch Brothers executives on their DLC. | ||
| So there was no difference. | ||
| Bill Clinton, he did private prisons. | ||
| He had 100,000 new cops. | ||
| He bankrupted. | ||
| Unions by doing NAFTA. | ||
| That was the beauty of Trump. | ||
| The first time he was against the WTO treaty. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he did that, which the Democrats were for. | ||
| Barack Obama's out there campaigning for the and and Trump was against it. | ||
| That was great. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So because NAFTA cut the legs out from underneath the unions for a generation, they still haven't recovered. | ||
| So he did that. | ||
| He privatized prisons. | ||
| He wanted he gutted welfare at the same time he imprisoned all those. | ||
| People with Joe Biden's crime bill. | ||
| And then he was ready to privatize Social Security after he deregulated Wall Street. | ||
| He took away Glass-Steagall, which led to the crashing of Wall Street within 10 years. | ||
| And he was going to privatize Social Security, except because he had a private secret deal, according to Thomas Frank. | ||
| He had a secret deal with New Kingdom to privatize Social Security. | ||
| But what stopped it was the blowjob from Monica Lewinsky. | ||
| So he broke the night before he was going to announce that. | ||
| So he couldn't. | ||
| He didn't have any political capital left anymore to do that. | ||
| So that so we owe a blowjob to having still having Social Security, which I'm a big fan of Social Security. | ||
| I'm a big fan of a mixed economy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I think that the government. | ||
| Should take the profits from oil and gas that's underneath the land that we all own and give it back to the people and not give it to Exxon and Shell and Mobile. | ||
| That's what I believe. | ||
| But I believe in a mix to come. | ||
| There should be free market capitalism and then there should be things that are privatized. | ||
| I mean, things that are government run like that. | ||
| Not only that government run per se, but the profits should come back to us anyway. | ||
| The point is, Bill Clinton was no friend of the working man, and neither was Joe Biden. | ||
| That's the biggest joke. | ||
| They just crushed a union strike, and they're out there pretending. | ||
| And then this speech was all poppycock. | ||
| It was all just like Barack Obama's speech was bullshit. | ||
| You see Michelle Obama say that my parents were always suspicious of people who took more than they needed. | ||
| Lady, you have three homes on private islands. | ||
| Private, private freaking islands that like regular people can't get to. | ||
| 40 acres on Martha's Vineyard. | ||
| You know, he went to, Barack Obama had the balls to go to Africa and tell people that, you know, if everybody here has an air conditioner in a private car, the world's going to overheat. | ||
| And then he goes back to his private house. | ||
| On Martha's Vineyard that has 40 acres. | ||
| How many do you think air conditioners here? | ||
| I'm going to guess at least 11 air conditioners. | ||
| Then he has another house in Chicago. | ||
| Then he has another place in Maui, and he builds a seawall. | ||
| Did you know about the seawall? | ||
| Yeah, he had to get an easement for it. | ||
| He broke every law in Maui to do it. | ||
| Yeah, so climate change laws said you can't have a seawall. | ||
| And why can't you have a seawall in Maui? | ||
| Because it creates beach erosion down the road. | ||
| He didn't give a shit. | ||
| He got a cutout to do that for his property. | ||
| And it doesn't matter about the. | ||
| So isn't it amazing that all the billionaires, Benny, that tell you that climate change is real and sea level rising, they're all buying beachfront property. | ||
| Is it that weird? | ||
| Oprah spoke last night, and she owns a thousand-acre plantation. | ||
| They still call it a plantation. | ||
| She calls it a plantation. | ||
| On Maui, she's the biggest landowner in Maui, and she hasn't opened up a single acre to the people of Lahaina, who had their entire homes burned down, who were trapped in their city as it burned. | ||
| The government trapped them in there and burned them alive. | ||
| That's a matter of fact. | ||
| The AP reported that. | ||
| Only the people who disobeyed the government were the ones who survived that. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And Oprah has yet to... | ||
| Open up a single acre of her thousand acres on a plantation. | ||
| Yes, that's what it's called for any of those people. | ||
| Let me let people know how many acres that is. | ||
| So if you're having a hard time picturing, have you ever been to Manhattan and you've been to Central Park? | ||
| It's enormous. | ||
| It goes on forever. | ||
| So Central Park in New York City is less than a thousand acres. | ||
| She owns more acres in Maui and Island. | ||
| Than New York owns in Central Park. | ||
| I was thinking you could do, like, for not a lot of money, you could do, like, container sort of homes. | ||
| People have little homes, right? | ||
| You could do, like, container. | ||
| You could just give them a place to stay. | ||
| Give them some, like... | ||
| Give them a place to stay. | ||
| These people just had their lives, like, torched. | ||
| And they don't know where to go. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| I see the people living in tents. | ||
| They're living on the beach. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| You see people spray painting on building sites saying, this is a land grab. | ||
| And you know why they do that? | ||
| Because it's a land grab. | ||
| They wanted to burn the city down. | ||
| Isn't it weird? | ||
| It's so weird that... | ||
| What are you going to put in there? | ||
| The most sophisticated alarm system didn't... | ||
| It just didn't work. | ||
| They happened to cut off all the water so the fire department couldn't use water to put out. | ||
| These are just weird coinkydings. | ||
| And then all the police and firemen were turning people back into the fire. | ||
| They're just coinkydings. | ||
| They did that. | ||
| They sent them back into what was an oven. | ||
| These are coinkydings. | ||
| The government did, yeah. | ||
| All right, well, remember, Oprah wants to raise money, wants us to donate. | ||
| She wants us to donate. | ||
| It's worth $5 billion. | ||
| She could have taken a billion dollars and restored Lahaina herself. | ||
| She wanted you to do it. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| She gave $10 million. | ||
| That's like me giving a quarter, okay? | ||
| So she didn't give anything. | ||
| She owns $500 million in property herself. | ||
| Anyway, and by the way, buying up all that property in Maui, the natives who live there are upset about it because that... | ||
| Raises the price of all the land for everybody else in Maui. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And scarcity. | ||
| There's a homeless problem in Hawaii. | ||
| It's a big problem. | ||
| So, Kamala Harris, that's the name of the night. | ||
| Did you watch the speech? | ||
| I watched about five minutes of it, and it was fantastic. | ||
| I thought it was great. | ||
| It was her pretending. | ||
| It was all platitudes and bullshit, just like Michelle Obama, just like Barack Obama. | ||
| At least Joe Biden has the balls to come out and just brazenly lie. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yell and scream about it. | ||
| But, like, Kamala was weird to me, man, and I can't get this out of my head. | ||
| She's in power right now. | ||
| You're in charge. | ||
| She's pretending like she's not in power. | ||
| You're in power. | ||
| What's this game you're playing? | ||
| And you're going to sing poor honey in our ears for 10 minutes about your family and your aunties? | ||
| And you're not going to tell us anything you're going to do for the damn country? | ||
| This place is in shambles right now. | ||
| And you're in power! | ||
| You so I was I was inside the convention. | ||
| I was on the floor for a little while. | ||
| And the last time I was on the floor for a Democratic convention was the last time they had one because in 2020 COVID, they didn't have one. | ||
| So in 2016, I was in Philadelphia and I was on the floor and it was interesting and exciting. | ||
| And it made gave you hope about democracy. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because half those people there were progressives who supported. | ||
| Bernie Sanders. | ||
| So there was friction, which is what's supposed to happen at a convention. | ||
| There's supposed to be friction and people are supposed to argue about policy. | ||
| And that's what was happening there. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The establishment eventually scared, you know, did whatever they did to Bernie and they threatened to prosecute his wife for the. | ||
| Bullshit bank deals she did at the college or whatever, but he rolled over for them. | ||
| And he didn't do anything with... | ||
| Bernie Sanders didn't extract anything from the establishment for his support of Hillary Clinton. | ||
| That's how it's supposed to work. | ||
| You know politics, Bernie. | ||
| So if somebody wants you to endorse them, you have to give a concession. | ||
| Bernie didn't get anything. | ||
| He got a new island house. | ||
| They all get island houses. | ||
| Bernie has like three houses. | ||
| He got a book deal. | ||
| He became a millionaire. | ||
| He's got a book deal. | ||
| Deal, all that shit. | ||
| He became the banking chairman. | ||
| The progressives are like, well, Bernie's going to become the banking chairman. | ||
| And what did that do for you? | ||
| Fucking nothing. | ||
| Anyway, so when I was there last time, it was fun to walk the floor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| I would walk the floor and I would interview people and they had interesting ideas about policies. | ||
| They all were understanding what Bernie was pushing and what Hillary was. | ||
| This time, it was the exact opposite. | ||
| No one even cared about politics. | ||
| No one knew anything. | ||
| I was interviewing one Democratic delegate, and I said, hey, does it bother you that there wasn't a real process for the primary this time to get the nominee? | ||
| And the woman who I was talking to was a beautiful black woman, and she said, what do you mean? | ||
| I don't know what you mean. | ||
| We had a primary. | ||
| I go, yeah, but they switched the... | ||
| The usual primary starts in Iowa and then New Hampshire. | ||
| They switched it to go start in South Carolina because that would benefit Joe Biden. | ||
| And then they said if you if anybody else campaigned in Iowa or New Hampshire, they would take away their delegates that they earned there. | ||
| That's why that RFK had to leave the party because they were putting it all these. | ||
| Uh, rules that would screw him. | ||
| So he's like, I see what's happening. | ||
| So that's the, the opposite of democracy. | ||
| So anyway, I said this to this woman and she said, uh, I go, why do you, don't you, aren't you upset that there wasn't a real primary? | ||
| And she says, what do you mean they had a primary? | ||
| And I said, no, no, Joe Biden won. | ||
| And then they forced him out. | ||
| Yeah, but there was a process, she said. | ||
| And Kamala Harris followed the process. | ||
| I'm like, that's not. | ||
| Called democracy. | ||
| The process is called what a corporation does. | ||
| That's that. | ||
| And then I saw I was like, OK, well, she started exactly like a DNC delegate. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then I said, well, what's your favorite policy of Kamala Harris? | ||
| And literally, she said to me, criminal justice, a black woman telling me her favorite policy of. | ||
| Kamala Harris is criminal justice. | ||
| Kamala Harris is known for locking up black people for things that she was guilty of herself, hiding evidence that would exonerate them. | ||
| And then after the Supreme Court told her to release prisoners from California's prisons, she still didn't. | ||
| And the reason why she didn't do that, they gave in court was because it would upset the prison labor system. | ||
| Do you know what that's called? | ||
| It's called slavery. | ||
| I don't know if you know. | ||
| So Kamala Harris was literally imposing slavery on black and brown people in California. | ||
| And this woman who's a delegate to the DNC this year for Kamala Harris is telling me she likes her because of that. | ||
| So it was honestly, Benny, I left there super depressed. | ||
| Yeah, it was NBC World. | ||
| We were there. | ||
| I was there with Vivek and we were streaming, running around, just kind of like, you know, chewing a fat of people. | ||
| And it's kind of like kind of like. | ||
| Kicking the doors in, right? | ||
| Like, a little bit. | ||
| Vivek knows that he's going to be recognized. | ||
| People are going to yell and hiss and scream. | ||
| And it's going to cause a little bit of a ruckus. | ||
| And it was, it was, when Vivek was doing a fox hit, I just wandered around and looked at people, and we did, uh, people watching. | ||
|

|
Bro, it was like, it was like, it was like, glassy-eyed. | |
| Zombies. | ||
| Like, glassy-eyed people who were just kind of, like, walking. | ||
| Like very, very NPC. | ||
| Very much like an Android world, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Where it's like everyone had a Neuralink chip. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they were all like on the same wavelength and like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Kamala. | ||
| It's like a meme. | ||
| It's like the chip was taken out. | ||
| The Biden chip was taken out. | ||
| And before the port even got cold, they shoved a Kamala clip in there. | ||
| And they were like, reprogramming, update, done. | ||
| Algorithm activated. | ||
| So like a convention. | ||
| Traditionally, it's supposed to be where you get together and you knock heads and you work out policy and you find compromises. | ||
| Jimmy, I didn't see a single Biden button. | ||
| So I went around looking. | ||
| I'm like, can anybody find me Biden? | ||
| Jack. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| A photo. | ||
| A pashmina. | ||
| Whatever, dude. | ||
| A lady in a wheelchair with like a little Biden sticker on her wheel. | ||
| That's all I cared about. | ||
| Find me a Biden thing. | ||
| That bro, that dude was straight up Stalinist level erased. | ||
| He's been erased, right? | ||
| That famous photo, Stalin and that guy, and the guy's gone. | ||
| Wasn't it ironic? | ||
| I don't know if you saw this part of the convention I did. | ||
| They were holding up signs that saying, we love you, Joe. | ||
| They had passed these out, obviously, and they were holding up. | ||
| We love you, Joe. | ||
| Yeah, we love you so much that we cooed you and forced you out of a primary that you won. | ||
| That's how much we love you. | ||
| We want you to get the fuck out of here. | ||
| And we're putting you on in the first night of the convention instead of the last night because we don't give a shit about you. | ||
| We want people to forget about you. | ||
| That's how much they love Joe Biden. | ||
| That was amazing to me. | ||
| But by the way, I want to just bring this point up, if I can, about communism. | ||
| So my my point of view is that the actual Democratic establishment and the Republican establishment, which also hates Trump, by the way, the Republic. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That there's so much alike that they have to invent these fake narratives to hate each other. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So right now, the Democrats are inventing this narrative that Donald Trump is going to become dictator on day one. | ||
| He's going to become a king. | ||
| And I would. | ||
| So I was at a Palestinian protest and someone said that they were they hated Donald Trump and they might vote for Kamala Harris. | ||
| And I said, why? | ||
| They go, because Trump will make himself king. | ||
| And I go, well, what's the mechanism for him to do that? | ||
| I mean, if Trump can make himself king, why didn't he do that the first time? | ||
| Why is he waiting? | ||
| And that means that anybody could have did that? | ||
| Why didn't Nixon make himself king? | ||
| And they don't have an answer for that because it's made up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Because we have a balance of power in America. | ||
| We have a constitutional republic and you can't make yourself king. | ||
| That's why the president always has to negotiate with Senate and the Congress to get legislation passed because there is no such thing as a king in America. | ||
| And what was my point of this? | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| I forgot my point. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| What's going to happen? | ||
| I do. | ||
| I remember. | ||
| Go. | ||
| So then they each have to conflate. | ||
| So then the Democrats say that Donald Trump is a white supremacist and a Nazi who's going to make himself king. | ||
| And then the Republicans call Kamala Harris a communist. | ||
| Now, she's not a communist. | ||
| What she is is a corporatist authoritarian, right? | ||
| And why do I say she's authoritarian? | ||
| It's because she's for censorship, which is the A hallmark of a dictator, right? | ||
| Censorship. | ||
| And they always tell you they're censoring people to save, to protect you. | ||
| And so they're going to censor you from people telling the truth about COVID. | ||
| They're going to censor you from people telling the truth about Ukraine. | ||
| They're going to censor you from telling the truth about Russiagate. | ||
| They're going to tell it. | ||
| So censorship is, as RFK Jr. says, when in history has the censors ever been on the right side of history? | ||
| Never. | ||
| So that's what the Democratic Party has become. | ||
| They became they were people who were always anti war. | ||
| They were always pro worker. | ||
| They were always pro bodily autonomy and they were always pro free speech. | ||
| They flipped on all those things. | ||
| Now the Democratic Party is pro censorship. | ||
| They're anti bodily autonomy because they were pro mandate, which is the exact opposite of bodily autonomy. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They're pro-war. | ||
| They've been for every war in my lifetime, including the Ukraine war. | ||
| And I forget what the first one was, but they're the exact opposite of what they used to be. | ||
| And so that's why RFK Jr., that's why I say the Democratic Party, I didn't leave them. | ||
| They left me. | ||
| I'm exactly the same. | ||
| I'm for bodily autonomy. | ||
| I'm for freedom of speech. | ||
| I'm anti-war. | ||
| And they are none of those things. | ||
| I was going to shake out. | ||
| Last question. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Last question. | ||
| Because we're going to pack up everything and get back. | ||
| We have five hours of packing. | ||
| I know. | ||
| But I want to know. | ||
| You've done so much on this issue of figuring out where the parties are right now. | ||
| And I do worry about that zombie state. | ||
| I do worry about NPC. | ||
| You don't want 30-40% of the population that could just be programmed like that. | ||
| You do want critical thinkers. | ||
| And I don't want that on a Republican side. | ||
| I don't want that on a Democrat side. | ||
| It's bad for the country. | ||
| But... | ||
| Well, I mean, how do you see this shaking out? | ||
| You've been very right in your predictions. | ||
| You're one of the Nostradamuses. | ||
| So what happens the next 70 days? | ||
| Well, it's funny. | ||
| It's like all I have to do is say communist and it triggers like even my own audience. | ||
| I have a lot of right wing audience, right? | ||
| I have Marxists. | ||
| I have MAGA. | ||
| And all you have to do is say. | ||
| Communists, and they're triggered. | ||
| So like in Venezuela, why do people have an opinion upon the election in Venezuela? | ||
| The reason why you live in America and you even have an opinion on that is because there's more oil in Venezuela than there is in Saudi Arabia. | ||
| So now the media is involved because the deep state's involved, because the economic hitmen who run the country want the media to talk about this because they wanted people to be on board when we overthrow their government, right? | ||
| We've tried to overthrow their I've been under government a couple of times in the last 20 years. | ||
| And why? | ||
| Because there's more oil. | ||
| And Trump even admitted it. | ||
| In fact, he gave a speech where he said, you know, if I was president, we would have taken all that oil. | ||
| We would have got all that oil. | ||
| And that's another reason why the deep state would have killed them. | ||
| Would it wants to kill him? | ||
| Because he tells the truth. | ||
| Nobody else will say that. | ||
| They'll say, well, we want to bring democracy. | ||
| So as soon as I found out there was more oil in Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, I knew it was just a matter of time before we had to bring democracy to their people. | ||
| And that's what they're saying. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so that's. | ||
| I want to make that. | ||
| So don't be triggered by the word communist, because communists is that the people in in Venezuela, Maduro has a mixed economy. | ||
| He has an economy where he runs the oil and he gives that money back to the people. | ||
| And they have a lot of lithium down there and stuff. | ||
| So he wants to take their natural resources and put that money back into the country. | ||
| And the cap, the economic hit men who run the Western culture don't want that to happen. | ||
| So they want you to have an opinion that this is over. | ||
| That's an illegal election. | ||
| Hey, hey, let's say it is. | ||
| I'll grant you it's not. | ||
| But I'll grant you, let's say Maduro didn't win the election. | ||
| It's none of our fucking business. | ||
| And, you know, I don't think the elections in America are correct, right? | ||
| So I don't want people from- Clean up your own house. | ||
| Everyone watch 2020. | ||
| I don't want people from Venezuela coming in here over and throwing my government to clean it up for me. | ||
| We can figure it out in the United States. | ||
| So your question is, where do we go from here? | ||
| Where do we go from here is that people need to come together like the truckers did in Canada. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| And they need to shut down shit and put a hurt on the billionaires who actually run the Western world. | ||
| And to the point where we make the government afraid of us again. | ||
| And that's what we used to, you know, that's what is supposed to happen, right? | ||
| The government's supposed to be afraid of the people. | ||
| If the people are afraid of the government, that's tyranny. | ||
| And that's what we're living in right now. | ||
| We're living in tyranny. | ||
| So we need to do things like we need to get the truckers and the farmers and workers of all sorts together to revolt against this government and take it back because we don't have the government right now. | ||
| We live in a literal oligarchy. | ||
| Which is proven by a Princeton study over 10 years ago. | ||
| Your your vote does not fucking matter. | ||
| It doesn't matter because your candidates are chosen. | ||
| The point that the fact that Trump was not chosen is why they tried to kill him. | ||
| OK, and I'm not saying that if Trump becomes president, he'll fix everything. | ||
| I'm saying that there's a reason why they're trying to kill him. | ||
| OK, and so that's what needs to happen. | ||
| People like you and me and people like people in my audience who have already realized this, that your neighbor is not your enemy. | ||
| Your neighbor is your neighbor. | ||
| And they want you to hate. | ||
| They want me to hate. | ||
| The oligarchy did a controlled demolition of our economy during COVID, which crushed everybody, and they want me to hate my neighbor for the economic pain I'm feeling because he wouldn't take a vaccine that didn't work the way they said it did in the first place. | ||
| Well, I'm not going to hate my neighbor. | ||
| I'm going to join with my neighbor, and I'm going to oppose those oligarchs. | ||
| I'm going to do it with farmers. | ||
| I'm going to do it with truckers. | ||
| I'm going to do it with workers at Amazon of all sorts because that's the only thing that's going to take back this country. | ||
| And if that doesn't happen, we're lost. | ||
| We're lost to tyranny. | ||
| We're lost to authoritarianism. | ||
| We're lost to corporatism. | ||
| And it's not just in America. | ||
| I just did a European tour. | ||
| The exact thing that's happening here is happening there. | ||
| And they feel it. | ||
| And they know exactly the same thing. | ||
| I did a sold-out tour in Europe. | ||
| I had no idea if I would sell one ticket. | ||
| I sold out. | ||
| Everywhere I went and people I did meet and greets and people came up to me and said, exactly what you're experiencing in America is exact. | ||
| Jeff Bezos doesn't just own the Washington Post here in America. | ||
| He's also owns media in Norway. | ||
| Did you know that? | ||
| I didn't know that until I went there. | ||
| He's buying up media in Europe. | ||
| So the same billionaires who run this country are running Western Europe. | ||
| And that's why we have the the immigrant crisis not only there, but here. | ||
| And that's why they got rid of a cold Moammar Gaddafi because Moammar Gaddafi was a line between immigration from Africa to here. | ||
| And they wanted to get rid of it. | ||
| They he thought he was safe because he provided them that security. | ||
| The exact opposite. | ||
| As soon as they wanted to get rid of that security is when they killed him. | ||
| Anyway, I could talk about this all night, Benny, and I know you're tired. | ||
| Are you voting Trump? | ||
| I'm writing in Dave Chappelle, as I always do. | ||
| And so, no, I mean, I have a lot of problems with Trump. | ||
| But I understand that there is definitely a faction inside the establishment and the deep state that wants Trump dead. | ||
| They don't want Joe Biden dead. | ||
| They don't want Kamala Harris dead. | ||
| So what does that tell you, right? | ||
| And it's because he is a glitch in their warmongering program. | ||
| And so, no, I won't be voting for him, but I will be writing in Dave Chappelle. | ||
| And I... | ||
| I think it's time Americans came. | ||
| So at the Democratic Convention, they talked about, oh, the Republicans want to divide the country. | ||
| You motherfuckers are the ones who are dividing the country. | ||
| You criminalize this whole political operation, which was January 6th was for, which was a psyop by the FBI to criminalize MAGA and Donald Trump. | ||
| So and they're the ones who constantly are dividing the country. | ||
| So we need to. | ||
| Your neighbor is not your enemy. | ||
| Your neighbor is suffering under the same bullshit that. | ||
| You're suffering under. | ||
| Remember that. | ||
| You just have different ways to get to the same place. | ||
| I will be voting for Donald Trump, but I will join with Jimmy Dore and say I'd love to have Dave Chappelle as part of the administration. | ||
| I think Dave Chappelle could do some great. | ||
| And I hope RFK is a part of the administration. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Along with Elon. | ||
| Dave Chappelle, Elon Musk, RFK, Donald Trump. | ||
| Come on, baby. | ||
| Bring it home. | ||
| What a wild week. | ||
| We have been live every single day, twice. | ||
| A day and have been hitting the streets and hitting the bricks. | ||
| It's been incredible to meet some absolute legends and some new friends along the way. | ||
| And making some friends on the South Side, I guess, too. | ||
| I'm from the South Side, you know that, right? | ||
| Those people will not be voting for cop players. | ||
| They made sure to tell us. | ||
| You know what, ladies and gentlemen, we love you. | ||
| We thank you for following us along. | ||
| We read the comments and we realize how... | ||
| It is important to tell a true story out here. | ||
| And we've set about doing that in the Benny Bunker. | ||
| We're very proud of our work and it can't be done without you. | ||
| So we love you. | ||
| We care about you. | ||
| We appreciate you. | ||
| And from the Windy City in deep inside the Benny Bunker in Trump Tower, we say a heartfelt thank you. | ||
| Now I'm going to go eat some deep dish pizza. | ||
| Yes, I did that today. | ||
| We're going to hit it tomorrow morning. | ||
| Big day tomorrow. | ||
| Thank you all for watching. | ||
| It's your boy, Benny. | ||
| You are in the arena with Jimmy Dore and Rob Blagojevich. | ||
| Final night of the DNC. | ||
| Thank God it's over. |
