| Tonight's is the state of the union address, which will begin in about one hour. | ||
| So until then, we have several big news stories for you. | ||
| But of course, we're going to start off with what's expected in the State of the Union Address from Joe Biden. | ||
| And we've got, ladies and gentlemen, betting odds. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| A website has given us all of the different betting odds for things they expect to or don't expect to happen. | ||
| The funny thing is, they actually expect Joe Biden to bring up Donald Trump's age, which seems pretty risky, but... | ||
| Seems like, or actually, hold on, I'd hit that back. | ||
| I think it's the other way around. | ||
| We're gonna go through the odds. | ||
| You'll see, you'll see. | ||
| I think actually they don't expect him to, but they actually are giving fairly decent odds that he might. | ||
| I think that's what I, that's what I mean. | ||
| So we'll talk about that, plus we got a bunch of other really big crazy stories for you. | ||
| It appears the United States will be deploying boots on the ground in Gaza in one of the most insane stories I've ever heard. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| will be building a... | ||
| Temporary port in Gaza for delivering aid. | ||
| Which basically means the U.S. | ||
| is providing funding to Israel as Israel engages in a ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza. | ||
| And then the U.S. | ||
| will be building a port in Gaza for what? | ||
| Delivering goods? | ||
| Let's be real. | ||
| It's not temporary. | ||
| This is the U.S. | ||
| basically putting its boot down. | ||
| It's a foothold in Gaza. | ||
| This may be... I think this is well beyond just humanitarian aid. | ||
| Boots on the ground is massive, so we'll talk about that. | ||
| Then we got some really crazy stories about TikTok. | ||
| The committee that's proposed the bill to ban TikTok voted unanimously to advance this bill. | ||
| The company behind TikTok will have to divest from its Chinese counterparts if they want to keep operating in the U.S. | ||
| Unanimous support in the House. | ||
| TikTok then put out this call to action on the app saying, call Congress, don't let them ban TikTok. | ||
| And now there are reports that teenagers are threatening to kill themselves if the app gets banned. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| A bunch of other news as we wait for the State of the Union Address at 9. | ||
| Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy some coffee. | ||
| Cast Brew is our coffee company. | ||
| We sponsor ourselves. | ||
| If you want to support the show and support our work, go to castbrew.com, pick up your coffee. | ||
| Everybody loves Appalachian Nights, but we cannot stock it fast enough, which is crazy, because the last time it sold out, We reordered a ton, we're like, we gotta re-up the order by 30-40%, and then it sold out, and now it's also, this is amazing. | ||
| So, unfortunately, it sold out, but Stand Your Grounds is comparable, so I definitely recommend you guys buy Stand Your Grounds, and if you like a light roast, Rise of the Birdo Jr. | ||
| When you buy Cast Brew Coffee, you can also buy Alex Stein's blend, we sponsor his show, we're big fans. | ||
| You are also supporting our physical locations, we're gonna be doing live events in Martinsburg, West Virginia, for members only, once per month. | ||
| And when you buy Casbro Coffee, you're supporting it. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's at the Casbro Coffee Shop building. | ||
| First floor is currently under construction, awaiting permits. | ||
| Second and third floor are where we hold the events. | ||
| We had one a couple days ago. | ||
| It was a lot of fun. | ||
| Tonight, we will not be having a members-only show. | ||
| Well, it really depends on whether or not Joe Biden... | ||
| Cuts the State of the Union short. | ||
| If he goes the amount of time we expect him to, which is typically around 70 minutes, we're not going to do a members only, we'll grab some super chats and then we'll probably wrap by like 1020 or 1030. | ||
| But if for some reason, and they do have betting odds on this, Biden goes short, which he might because the man is on the verge of death, He's very old. | ||
| If he pulls this State of the Union very short, then we will have that members only. | ||
| So, we'll see how it goes. | ||
| There is some speculation that Biden will not even make it 60 minutes. | ||
| And that would be nuts if by like 950 it's over. | ||
| Because that's like unprecedented. | ||
| So, we'll talk about all that. | ||
| Smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends. | ||
| Joining us tonight to talk about this and enjoy the gentle musings of Joe Biden, we've got Valentina Gomez. | ||

|
Good evening, guys. | |
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| Today, I get to be here, join you guys, look at what's happening with the state of delusion from Joe Biden. | ||
| It could have been an email, but that's okay. | ||
| We'll get to assess it, talk about it, make America great again. | ||
| And who are you? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Valentina Gomez. | |
| I am running to become Missouri's 41st Secretary of State. | ||
| And if you guys have seen my video, go to my Instagram, Valentina from Missouri, flamethrower video where I triggered all of the pedophiles because this is a war against evil. | ||
| So thank you so much for having me. | ||
| We're going to talk about it. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| Should be fun. | ||
| We've got Hannah Clare hanging out. | ||
| Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow. | ||
| I'm a writer for SCNR.com. | ||
| It's Scanner News. | ||
| I'm glad to be back. | ||
| I can't wait to see what Joe Biden comes up with. | ||
| It's going to be probably boring. | ||
| Ian's here. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| I worked myself up. | ||
| I can't wait to find out. | ||
| Last time he waited until the very end of the speech. | ||
| He was like, so in conclusion, what is the state of the union? | ||
| State of the union is strong. | ||
| State of the Union is great. | ||
| He just wants you to believe it. | ||
| So I wonder if he'll even mention the words State of the Union and what the betting odds are on that. | ||
| We'll find out tonight, I guess. | ||
| Hi, everyone. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Yep, I'm Serge. | ||
| I think it'll be .net now. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
.net. | |
| We'll see. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hard to pin down, Serge. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, let's get it. | ||
| We've got this from betus.com.pa. | ||
| I just Google searched State of the Union betting odds. | ||
| My friends, the State of the Union address will be in about 55 minutes. | ||
| We do have a bunch of news to cover, but of course, everyone's wondering what's going on. | ||
| And I think as we await this statement, this speech from the president, we'll take a look at what the expectations are. | ||
| Politicals, politics, futures. | ||
| I want to say politicals. | ||
| Politics, futures. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So, BetUS says, They say under 65 minutes and your bet is EV minus. | ||
| Minus, that means you make less money, right? | ||
| I always get this confused. | ||
| If it's EV plus, you make more money. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Okay, so they're expecting it to be under 65 minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Yeah, so if you bet $100, you actually... What do you get? | ||
| I suck at the math on the minus. | ||
| If it was plus, you'd win $140, so it's minus that. | ||
| You win like $70 or $80. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You guys in the chat, you can tell me how this works. | ||
| I'm not a big sports betting guy. | ||
| I can tell you about like craps and blackjack. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| State of the Union, to be said by Joe Biden during the address. | ||
| Right, so if it's minus, they're expecting it to happen. | ||
| Will he say Israel? | ||
| You bet. | ||
| $100 is minus $2,500. | ||
| So those are like terrible odds, but it's still a really good bet, I gotta be honest. | ||
| Like, any amount of money you want. | ||
| If someone said, bet $100 and you could win 10 cents, that's a good bet. | ||
| He's going to say Israel, no question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're gonna win, either way? | |
| Yeah, he's gonna say Israel. | ||
| Palestine, I don't know so much. | ||
| And they're expecting this to be just under 65 minutes? | ||
| It looks like the odds have it as it will be under 65 minutes. | ||
| It's light. | ||
| Minus 140 is not that big of a swing, but they're basically saying it will probably be under 65 minutes. | ||
| Which would be shorter than he did last year, which is interesting. | ||
| I mean, typically, Joe Biden's been speaking for a shorter and shorter amount of time constantly. | ||
| I feel like every speech that he's done has been... He can't handle it. | ||
| He can't handle it. | ||
| He's compromised. | ||
| So they're commenting on his age there. | ||
| I think it's interesting, before they said that they think he's likely to mention insulin, which again is probably a healthcare thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Is there something going on with insulin? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They probably pump him. | |
| Insulin is minus 750, which means they expect it to happen. | ||
| You will not get paid a lot of money because he will likely say insulin. | ||
| Uh, I offer my resignation is plus $5,000. | ||
| Okay, so that I get that a $100 bet will win you $5,000 if he says I offer my resignation. | ||
| The problem is, even if he was going to resign, he would say today I tender my resignation and you don't win the money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| That's why it has to be exact. | ||
| Yeah, that's why it's a stupid bet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If it said he resigns, So he says Chinese proverb. | |
| So he has to say the phrase, there's a Chinese proverb? | ||
| No, that's the weird thing, right? | ||
| Or are they saying that if he says a Chinese proverb? | ||
| It says, uh, to be said by Joe Biden, Chinese proverb. | ||
| I mean, they got to clarify these because I offer my resignation is a specific statement. | ||
| If it said Joe Biden resigns in any way, then I'd be like, oh, okay, we get what that means. | ||
| Too bad, Nikki. | ||
| That's a phrase. | ||
| Taylor Swift. | ||
| If he says Taylor Swift, it's plus $1,500. | ||
| I gotta be honest, that seems like a good bet. | ||
| Or no, wait, Taylor Swift is bigger than that, right? | ||
| No, no, wait, wait. | ||
|
unidentified
|
$1,500. | |
| Yeah, $1,500. | ||
| I think there's a chance that he actually says Taylor Swift. | ||
| I think he won't say it only because it doesn't seem clear that she's going to publicly endorse him this time. | ||
| She did last time. | ||
| So drawing attention to the fact that he doesn't have the secured endorsement might kind of encourage people to look at why she's not endorsing him. | ||
| The fact that people don't feel as confident in him. | ||
| The fact that he's losing support among young voters. | ||
| That would be my only guess on why he wouldn't. | ||
| Katie Britt stated in your response, word bingo. | ||
| So Katie Britt's giving the response. | ||
| Yeah, she's from Alabama. | ||
| So, let's see, Mexico is expected to be sad. | ||
| Cognitive and radical Islam, that's EV, so that's, you know, it's neutral, no edge. | ||
| Sleepy, communist, senile senility. | ||
| Dementia, woke mind virus. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| How do they determine these odds for something like this? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| The internet's a wild place, and math has just never been my strong suit, I will say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They missed Christian nationalism. | |
| That's true. | ||
| You think she'll say it or you think Biden will say it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think Biden will say it. | |
| Also, mega-Republicans isn't on there. | ||
| I think he's going to say that a lot. | ||
| I think he's going to say the word extremists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How we're a danger to the United States. | |
| If he confuses Nikki Haley with anyone else, it's plus $2,000. | ||
| So a $100 bet would make you $2,000. | ||
| What if he calls her Nimrata Haley? | ||
| That's what Vivek kept doing. | ||
| That's her name. | ||
| To misname a foreign leader or country. | ||
| I kind of feel like if you took out a bet on every one of these, you'd win one of them. | ||
| I don't know if you'd make money, though. | ||
| To confuse Trump with Obama. | ||
| I mean, directly mention Trump, he's definitely going to do that, right? | ||
| For sure. | ||
| That's been his whole campaign since the beginning. | ||
| Yeah, but it's quote Trump. | ||
| Because he might say the other guy or the former president. | ||
| But he has to say specifically his name. | ||
| It's in quotes. | ||
| I think he will say his name specifically. | ||
| And he'll say when he says Obama, he'll say Barack, too. | ||
| He likes to make it personal. | ||
| Okay, look, you know that they're friends. | ||
| Yeah, it says to have a five second brain freeze is plus 500. | ||
| Wait, I just want to I want to stress plus 500 is not that great of odds. | ||
| Like, It's good, you know, a $100 bet will make you $500, like 5-1, but it's crazy because there are crazier odds on a game of blackjack. | ||
| A side bet, like lucky ladies, is harder to hit than what they're claiming right now. | ||
| That Joe Biden will freeze mid-State of the Union for 5 seconds. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| It's kind of sad. | ||
| If you were sitting at a table at a casino and they said, which would you rather bet on, that you hit a blackjack right now or that Joe Biden during a State of the Union address freezes for five seconds, you'd be like, oh, Joe Biden freezing. | ||
| No question. | ||
| Better odds. | ||
| I'll make more money. | ||
| The thing is, if he does freeze, five seconds, ten seconds, whatever, the other side is gonna say, no, he's just pausing for dramatic effect. | ||
| You're not letting him speak, he's just performing for the fake applauses as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He might throw some fake applauses from the audience. | |
| I would love to see bets on that, like, if there's gonna be heckling, if anyone walks out, things like that. | ||
| Like, the other part of the State of the Union that's always interesting is the sort of theater of it. | ||
| Like, do you remember that Trump gave... oh my gosh, why is his name slipping my head? | ||
| The radio host? | ||
| You'll know this. | ||
| No, you won't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which one? | |
| Come back to me, I'll get it. | ||
| There's a conservative radio host who got an aggressive form of brain cancer. | ||
| Got what? | ||
| An aggressive form of cancer and Trump gave him... A progressive radio host? | ||
| Conservative, sorry. | ||
| Rush Limbaugh? | ||
| Rush Limbaugh, right? | ||
| You didn't know Rush Limbaugh's name? | ||
| I just forgot it for a minute. | ||
| I didn't grow up listening to the radio. | ||
| Do we kick her out? | ||
| No, you're all fired. | ||
| Stop doing this to me. | ||
| I'm making a good point here. | ||
| I'm just stumbling over every word. | ||
| Okay, so Rush Limbaugh got cancer and Trump presented him, Melania presented him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, right, at the State of the Union. | ||
| And it's always like Trump has been saying for, or Biden's been saying for months now that I think it's one of the Uvalde moms is going to be a guest at his State of the Union. | ||
| I mean, this is something they do and kind of see what points they're going to make based on who they're saying is going to sit with them, which I always find really interesting. | ||
| Should be interesting. | ||
| If he says 11 and a half non-facts, so the money line's the same on both, whatever. | ||
| It's minus. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| I like this. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| He says, too bad, Nikki. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What does that mean? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I think he's going to be sympathetic to Nikki. | ||
| He's going to be like, man, she is a lady. | ||
| She's a great woman. | ||
| She's trying hard. | ||
| A patriot. | ||
| And the Trump crazy whoever has just ruined her life. | ||
| Let's play this ad from the MAGA War Room. | ||
| It says everything that needs to be said. | ||
| Oh, we gotta play the audio. | ||
| What the hell do they want? | ||
| I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit. | ||
| We can all see Joe Biden's weakness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If Biden wins, can he even survive till 2029? | |
| Nope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The real question is, can we make America Great Again Inc. | |
| responsible for the content of this advertising? | ||
| Yeah, that's a good commercial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Technically, he can survive, but I mean, the guys. | |
| Okay, hold on. | ||
| What if? | ||
| Joe Biden has a medical episode and they put his brain and face on a robot body. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Would you then respect him more? | ||
| Or would you... No. | ||
| I'd respect him a little less if he was a robot man. | ||
| A little less. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little. | |
| Significantly less. | ||
| I want to meet Joe and be like... | ||
| Joe. | ||
| Like, just get through to him. | ||
| You know, the real Joe. | ||
| The guy from like 15 years ago and like... If you tried to get through to the real Joe, he would start groping you and he'd push you into the corner of the room. | ||
| He'd be like, not this Joe! | ||
| You're nothing to me anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he'd be like, this is what I'm like behind closed doors. | |
| That's the real Joe. | ||
| The fake Joe is the guy on TV going, come on man, you know, corn pop. | ||
| And then as soon as the door closes, it's actually, you know, you know what I imagine? | ||
| It's that scene in Watchmen where, uh, you guys ever seen Watchmen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| Yeah, it's when the comedian punches that woman in the face and tries to rape her. | ||
| Like, take away the physical strength, and that's like Joe Biden behind closed doors. | ||
| The Tara Reade thing is absolutely insane, and I'm surprised the media, I mean I'm not surprised that ABC and NBC don't pick up the story, the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations, but you know, according to Tara Reade, Biden pushed her up against a wall when she was staffing for him, or working for him, and tried to- And then did untoward things. | ||
| Yeah, actually did assault her, and then when she said, no, no, stop, or whatever she said to him- Me too ended! | ||
| He was like, you're dead, you're nothing to me. | ||
| He looked her in the eyes, that's according to her, she said that he told her, you're nothing to me, and then walked When she came out, went public with this, it was the day that Me Too died. | ||
| All of a sudden, it was like, you know, all the liberals were like, we don't know if we care about Me Too anymore. | ||
| It's just right now, at this moment, we're over it. | ||
| And then she fled to Russia because her life was in danger. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| But I mean, aside from that, you have all the videos of Joe Biden groping kids and stuff. | ||
| So it's like, you know, Joe Biden behind closed doors is just not a thing you'd want to see ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It would be scary. | |
| Very scary. | ||
| I wouldn't want to be there. | ||
| I mean, these days, sad. | ||
| Creepy and sad. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Creepy Uncle Joe. | ||
| But he's mostly just napping these days, so... Yeah, he's maybe lost a little bit of his drive to creep on women, especially young girls, but I just think that this is not going to be his best moment, you know? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| He is really slowing down. | ||
| He's got slurred speech. | ||
| I just don't know that this kind of all-eyes address is going to make him look like a strong candidate going into the next year or next election cycle. | ||
| Let's jump to the story from The Guardian. | ||
| What to expect from the State of the Union? | ||
| Well, Biden is supposedly going to announce the U.S. | ||
| will build a port on the Gaza shore for large-scale aid delivery. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Biden is expected to announce the State of the Union the U.S. | ||
| will deploy troops on the ground in Gaza in what must be the most psychotic thing I have ever heard a president plan to say at a State of the Union. | ||
| Biden has been freaking out over the far-left pro-Palestinian activists. | ||
| And so now you've got members of the Biden administration saying things like, we want to cease fire. | ||
| You know, what did Kamala Harris say? | ||
| We want to cease fire and Israel should do everything they can to get the hostages back. | ||
| And it's like, you're talking out both sides of your mouth. | ||
| They know that if they don't get the pro-Gaza leftists, they cannot win. | ||
| So what is Biden doing? | ||
| This is a mistake. | ||
| We should not be setting boots on the ground for one thing. | ||
| This is an attempt to appease the far left. | ||
| It won't work because he's saying we are going to colonize Gaza. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is World War III, sadly, and more U.S. | |
| service members are about to get killed. | ||
| Strong men and women, the ones that should be here protecting us. | ||
| Our border? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly, at least our border. | |
| But they're being sent to foreign nations to fight for this proxy war. | ||
| I want to see the odds on that, Biden deploying troops to the border next to nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's never going to happen. | |
| Oh, that would be like plus a million. | ||
| $100 bet wins you a million bucks. | ||
| Does this article say how, because what they'll do is they'll say we're just sending in peacekeepers right now or advisors or like merchants or something. | ||
| I saw that it's like a temporary port. | ||
| They call the port temporary. | ||
| It's temporary. | ||
| That's what they did in Vietnam. | ||
| They sent advisors first. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| There's like 10,000 dudes or however many. | ||
| For aid. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| 10,000 armed advisors. | ||
| To advise the locals on how to. | ||
| Temporarily. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's how also COVID started. | |
| It was temporary. | ||
| You stayed home for three, five days, but then it was for the next two, three years. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I just realized Ian's 51st state may be becoming true finally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's wild, dude. | ||
| It's funny because what's going to happen is the history books are going to be alike. | ||
| In the year 2023, Joe Biden was watching TimCast IRL when Ian Crosland mentioned making Gaza the 51st state. | ||
| I openly oppose this. | ||
| I want everyone to know that. | ||
| Biden reportedly turned to Kamala Harris and said, this guy's onto something. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| A year later, a colony was established. | ||
| Next year, it's not on IRL because he's an advisor in the Biden White House. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll be the first governor of Gaza. | |
| This is the end of Gaza. | ||
| It's not funny. | ||
| If the U.S. | ||
| builds a port in Gaza while Israel is engaged in a military campaign invasion, it's simple. | ||
| This is the beginning of the end of the Gaza Strip. | ||
| They'll start shipping people out into the United States. | ||
| This is like just mass immigration. | ||
| Yeah, it's not good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we have about 20 more. | |
| I would say more by the end of 2024. | ||
| 20 plus illegal immigrants in our nation. | ||
| What's gonna happen with those people from Gaza? | ||
| They're gonna be coming here and don't forget that those people hate the United States of America, the majority of them. | ||
| Yeah, they don't want our way of life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| I think what's hard about this situation for Biden's team, I can imagine, is that there's absolutely no good solution. | ||
| There is no way for him to Uh, navigate this international crisis in a way that appeases both sides of his base. | ||
| Because let's be honest, I really don't think Joe Biden truly cares about anyone from Israel, anyone from Gaza. | ||
| He is trying to get re-elected. | ||
| His, in a weird warped way, his attention is on American voters, only progressive ones that he's hoping will go to the ballot for him, or go to the voting booth for him. | ||
| And I think this is a polarizing issue. | ||
| I know it can be among conservative circles, too, but definitely among older people who would consider themselves Democrats and younger people who consider themselves Democrats. | ||
| You know, this is wild. | ||
| Someone drove up on the sidewalk at DC, revving the engine at pro-Palestine protesters. | ||
| Yeah, they arrested him. | ||
| There's like wild video of the cops like throwing the driver to the ground. | ||
| He's wearing like a purple button-up shirt and they towed his car. | ||
| Yeah, it's wild. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But pro-Gaza protesters have been pretty vocal about the fact that they're frustrated with Biden. | ||
| I mean, there was a rally earlier this year that they were throwing like smoke bombs and stuff towards the White House. | ||
| Something they feel strongly about. | ||
| And again, I don't know that there is a way that Biden is ever going to be able to negotiate a like, look, I have worked out a compromise. | ||
| I'm helping both sides solution that makes anyone happy. | ||
| I mean, in any compromise here, both sides will feel like they lose. | ||
| And that is support taken away from Biden. | ||
| I think if he really does, I mean, the news is reporting that this is what he's going to announce. | ||
| He announces this. | ||
| I think he can't win. | ||
| Like, no legitimate path to victory, and I don't even know if his old allies from 2020 will help him cheat. | ||
| Like, there's no argument, there's no procedural path. | ||
| You do this, and this is Joe Biden saying, we are standing against Israel. | ||
| He builds the port. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's like him saying, we can't, they're still our allies, we can't stop them, but we're going to do our best for damage control. | ||
| If he sells that to the far left. | ||
| We are going to give money to Israel for defense and then also provide aid and comfort and resources to the people they're at war with. | ||
| It is quite literally Biden announcing they will stand against Israel. | ||
| It's a war. | ||
| There's two sides. | ||
| You can't provide aid and comfort to the enemy of one side. | ||
| And that's, this is the impossible situation that he's in. | ||
| I mean, I don't feel bad for him, but he is trying to say yes to both sides. | ||
| He is actually probably considering, and we know he's done this a couple of times, funding both sides of this war so he can stay in office. | ||
| And I don't think that's, I, obviously I think that we should put American troops on the border before we send them abroad. | ||
| I think that's our big, that should be a bigger national security priority for us. | ||
| But also Biden can literally not make anyone happy in this scenario and it's going to cost him. | ||
|

|
Or even sending money to foreign nations before helping our own states. | |
| Look at what happened in Lahaina, in Hawaii, Flint, Michigan, in our border. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So there's money for other nations, but there's no money for U.S. | |
| Americans. | ||
| They got money for war, but they can't feed the poor. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Who said that? | ||
| Tupac, I think? | ||
| Was it Tupac? | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| I think it was Tupac. | ||
| Tupac Shakur. | ||
| Your kids and your pop culture references. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How fun. | |
| No, but it's funny because I'm not one, you know, when these leftists are like, you know, there are more empty houses than homeless people. | ||
| We could solve the homeless problem overnight. | ||
| I'm like, that doesn't solve the problem. | ||
| But now we're looking at them taking illegal immigrants and putting them in apartment buildings. | ||
| And it's like, well, there was a solution to the homeless problem. | ||
| They could have just paid off these luxury hotels to take the homeless people in, effectively creating Very nice shelters! | ||
| They didn't care about the homeless people in America. | ||
| Nope, they care about the homeless people outside of America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They don't care about the veterans either. | |
| The veterans are in the street. | ||
| Look in New York City. | ||
| Look at these mayors. | ||
| Eric Adams, also Sheryl Jones in San Luis, Newsom, the governor of California. | ||
| These are all useless, worthless elected officials that have driven cities to the ground. | ||
| And they're just claiming their DEI card. | ||
| That's what they're doing right now. | ||
| They're playing the victim card. | ||
| And it doesn't work anymore. | ||
| The American people are fed up. | ||
| Yeah, fed up and it is sad that we have seen the cities get torn to the ground because of this policies. | ||
| So it is up to us to actually fight back and Get our guns ready, you know? | ||
| Because it has come to that point. | ||
| It has come to the point that we have to defend ourselves. | ||
| Women are getting killed and raped. | ||
| How many more women have to get killed and raped until we do something about it? | ||
| You've got to get training. | ||
| You've got to fight to change the laws to defend the Second Amendment because you end up with stories like Lake and Riley who was this, you know... | ||
| Presumably this illegal immigrant, who I believe had been arrested before, was trying to rape her, and she was unable to protect herself from a rapist who then crushed her skull. | ||
| I was just last night thinking about gun control, actually being able to control your gun, being able to control your weapon, and training with it, and how a lot of people probably haven't yet trained with guns, and I think that they should if they're American and it's legal and they have the opportunity. | ||
| It's like big boy shit. | ||
| It's time to grow up and do the real stuff in life, which is learn how to control weapons. | ||
| And make sure legal, I recommend there's like firearm insurance. | ||
| So in the event you have to defend yourself from a very serious threat, you don't have to worry about very serious legal issues after the fact. | ||
| And so these these things exist and I know a lot of people who are who are trained and advocates for Second Amendment have this. | ||
| But always just be careful because you got to keep it legal and we are winning the constitutional carry Argument, I think, just the other day. | ||
| I don't know, someone fact-check this, because someone superchatted that Louisiana was going constitutional carry. | ||
| But we gotta be careful, too! | ||
| So, I certainly am a big proponent of people having guns, and the Second Amendment, especially when we're dealing with a crime spree, that's brought us to the point where... You know, I'll say it like this. | ||
| You know, we're sitting here being like, guys, you need to have guns. | ||
| Okay, is your Second Amendment right? | ||
| You need to be trained with it. | ||
| You need to understand the laws of your jurisdiction, because the last thing we want are good, law-abiding citizens going to jail. | ||
| But look at what's going on in New York with the National Guard. | ||
| The crime has gotten to the point where a conductor, they reach their heads out of the window to check to make sure everyone's on the train before closing the doors, and someone walked up and slid his throat. | ||
| This happened in New York. | ||
| And so, and this is their fault. | ||
| You can't defend yourself in this state. | ||
| And so, I would not, if you live in New York, man, to the people in New York who are fighting the legal fight to get guns legalized and they're winning, you know, good on them. | ||
| But it's gotten so bad, they've deployed National Guard. | ||
| With guns. | ||
| With guns. | ||
| With very powerful guns. | ||
| Into the subways. | ||
| And 250 state law enforcement. | ||
| This is a problem. | ||
| I'll tell you this. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I gotta be honest. | ||
| I don't want anybody to have guns. | ||
| I don't want anybody to have them. | ||
| You know how you get to the point where no one's walking around with guns? | ||
| You get better security, law enforcement, policing, secure your borders, reinvigorate your community and your culture. | ||
| But when you have, in these cities, criminals being let go, and the recidivism rates being through the roof, Innocent people are being victimized and killed and what could what more what do you say to that at that point at that point? | ||
| It's how many more Lake and Riley stories to have to have she's not even the first story that anyone's ever talked about and the frustrating thing to me about the Lake and Riley story is that We had there. | ||
| Uh, I can't remember the woman's name in San Francisco. | ||
| Do you remember this one a few years ago? | ||
| I do know her. | ||
| I'll hold on. | ||
| I'll pull it. | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| Huge story. | ||
| The point is All of these stories all the time of innocent, law-abiding people being killed by criminals, by illegal immigrants, and the illegal immigration is an issue because the crime could have been prevented if the laws were enforced. | ||
| We should not have to live in a country where people need to be armed all the time. | ||
| But there's a reason why the Founding Fathers recognized the right to keep and bear arms was paramount. | ||
| For one, We had just had a war, so they were really concerned. | ||
| What was her name? | ||
| Katie Steinle, and also you were right about Louisiana. | ||
| It was the 28th state. | ||
| Well, it was someone superchatted us that. | ||
| I just looked it up. | ||
| Fox has a report. | ||
| So, definitely get armed, get trained, make sure everything you're doing is within the law and legal, and be very careful because even in the instance where you're defending yourself, you face very serious legal exposure. | ||
| A big part of tactical training that they teach you is yes, you are, even if you're the one defending yourself, unfortunately a lot of times the courts don't care or won't care and that you need to be ready for that. | ||
| They actually offer insurance through the tactical training, this one that I've been using. | ||
| And they're like, it's not super expensive, and you've got lawyers that understand the law, self-defense law, that you can contact in the instance that something were to happen. | ||
| And I think the idea, like, our culture will shift dramatically when everyone realizes you have to be on guard for your own safety. | ||
| I mean, there are people who talk about, you know, when I was growing up, I could leave | ||
| my door unlocked where I grew up. | ||
| When I, you know, I could leave my car unlocked and now I can't do that, do that in this | ||
| town. | ||
| People feel the shift when crime is at, when crime is on the doorstep and people will choose | ||
| to live differently, whether it be carry a weapon, whether it be to move out of cities, | ||
| it will have a profound effect on our country. | ||
| And I think maybe that's good because people will be more aware, self-aware. | ||
| On the other hand, it will make people feel more stressed and more hopeless. | ||
| They will feel like they can't trust people around them. | ||
| We had something happen a year ago where someone broke into one of our properties and they were armed and shots were fired. | ||
| And were it not for, I'll keep it very simple, our security, we don't know what these guys would have done. | ||
| And it was it's three guys. | ||
| But, you know, our our security being armed was able to prevent something much, much more serious. | ||
| And so look, man, this I'm gonna I'm gonna I'll wrap this up very, very simply. | ||
| It has gotten so bad in New York, they've deployed the National Guard. | ||
| We cannot live like this. | ||
| And as the left comes out and says people shouldn't have guns, I'm like, right. | ||
| The answer is we need better security. | ||
| We need better law enforcement. | ||
| I agree we need to fix the prison system. | ||
| This is not solving the problem. | ||
| But what New York did, they created this problem. | ||
| And now they've made everything worse for everybody. | ||
| We shouldn't have to live like that. | ||
| But without, you know, going on and being a dead horse, let's jump to this next story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, let me backtrack over there. | |
| Because Tim, bad guys with guns are stopped with good guys with guns. | ||
| And the Second Amendment is the only amendment that's going to guarantee the first one. | ||
| And countries that ban rifles, guns, or even flamethrowers are weak and gay, because you should be ashamed of yourself if you cannot defend your family, or your community, or yourself. | ||
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| We have this from CNN. | ||
| House panel unanimously approves bill that could ban TikTok. | ||
| This is getting crazy. | ||
| I think TikTok should be... I'll be careful here because there are grounds by which TikTok should be restricted or banned. | ||
| That I think is fair. | ||
| We ban things all the time. | ||
| We ban lots of drugs. | ||
| I don't think all drugs should be legal. | ||
| I'm not a big fan of the prison system or the war on drugs. | ||
| I think TikTok and social media is addictive, manipulative, and what they're saying about TikTok is effectively a casino slot machine for children. | ||
| And these kids can't develop resistances to the manipulation. | ||
| And that's why we say you can't gamble or drink or do these things until you're a certain age, when you're past the point where it could rewire your brain. | ||
| TikTok is so dangerous. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| TikTok played themselves. | ||
| Let me show you what's going on. | ||
| Our good friend Ed Krasenstein says, this is really happening, TikTok is sending people this notification. | ||
| TikTok is at risk of being shut down in the US. | ||
| Call your representative now. | ||
| TikTok is sending these notifications. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| They play themselves. | ||
| I want to show you this. | ||
| This is from Matthew Foldy, political reporter for The Spectator. | ||
| A kid called a house office threatening suicide if the bill passes. | ||
| TikTok is destroying our kids' brains for someone to say this even as a joke. | ||
| Another office is reporting to me that they've gotten suicide threats by American children who called to try to prevent TikTok from being owned by an American company. | ||
| If TikTok has driven these kids to this point, then I'm all in favor of saying shut it down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| I agree with that 100%. | ||
| TikTok is brainwashing kids, and they're using their algorithm, their agenda, to turn them against the United States. | ||
| We should just send them to the military. | ||
| These are pampered, weak kids. | ||
| They shouldn't be watching TikTok whatsoever. | ||
| They should be in school, but sadly in school you get indoctrinated. | ||
| The military should be the answer for this problem. | ||
| You want compulsory service? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would say like a two week training for them because these kids are so weak. | |
| They're so ungrateful to the nation. | ||
| Well, the issue with this is they're going on TikTok and their brains are locked into a slot machine. | ||
| It's just swiping, swiping, swiping and they're getting... It's addictive. | ||
| Well, the crazy thing is, it's fractured reality. | ||
| They're not watching an hour-long podcast where they're getting point A to point B, where a conversation is had, where you can develop neurons around certain concepts. | ||
| They're watching a video of a dog doing a backflip, and they swipe, and there's a picture of a cat jumping over a rabbit, and they swipe. | ||
| Then there's an old lady, you know, doing a jigsaw puzzle, and they swipe. | ||
| Then there's a guy swinging a stripper pole or something like this. | ||
| But it's all completely random. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| And what's interesting is we know that social media has basically shortened kids' attention spans, that they're, you know, as the advent of YouTube or whatever else, that they are looking for basically the dopamine hit from the video faster and faster and faster. | ||
| And that's what TikTok wants. | ||
| That's what TikTok rewards. | ||
| And ultimately, I think that this is not the direction as a culture we'd want, right? | ||
| We want to develop Critical analysis, critical thinking. | ||
| We want kids to want to have to go in depth and really think about their values, their issues. | ||
| And instead, the majority of TikTok's daily user are young American teenagers who are being basically being rewarded for swiping faster and faster and longer and longer all day long. | ||
| TikTok wanted people to call their reps to stop them from shutting this down, and it's backfired. | ||
| They all unanimously voted in favor of it. | ||
| I think it was 50 to 0 on the committee or whatever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Someone want to fact check me on that one? | ||
| But now you've got kids calling in threatening suicide, reinforcing the call to action that TikTok needs to be stopped. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This clearly shows that TikTok is weaponized against America. | |
| Plain and simple. | ||
| And this bill was brought by a bipartisan effort from the House Select Committee on China. | ||
| I mean, this is something that both sides of the aisle see as an issue to the young people in their demographics and their care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're so easy to mold. | |
| They're malleable. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And we can all say, oh, parents should step in and say, don't be on TikTok or whatever else. | ||
| But if you're a teenager, you're going to find a workaround. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| And also, we know that there are concerns about the terms of service that come with TikTok. | ||
| I mean, this is one of the reasons you saw this wave of of administrators and governors and states saying, if you work on our Wi-Fi or if you use our devices, you cannot have TikTok because we don't know what data it's accessing because its terms of service are so broad. | ||
| And that's something that we have increasingly saw concerns. | ||
| But when that wave, one of these efforts to ban TikTok came up last year, TikTok CEO came and was interviewed by Congress. | ||
| And he was like, well, if you do this, you'll hurt all of these small businesses that depend on us, right? | ||
| I mean, TikTok itself is pulling out all the stops to say, prevent America from banning us because they're using sort of emotional arguments. | ||
| But ultimately, TikTok wants to say, Influential in the U.S. | ||
| because they are the dominant platform controlling how young Americans are spending their time and spending their money. | ||
| You guys know what this bill actually does? | ||
| It would force TikTok to divest from Chinese companies. | ||
| Away from ByteDance? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So ByteDance, the owner, so ByteDance would have to sell TikTok to an American company? | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it would also give the president, it would designate TikTok and ByteDance apps controlled by a foreign adversary. | ||
| And it would give the president future power to say, you know, like, that another app is also controlled by a foreign adversary and therefore we need to separate it from US youth. | ||
| This is a horrible idea. | ||
| No. | ||
| This is a terrible way to get this thing under control. | ||
| You're going to give it to an American company so that they can manipulate your kids instead. | ||
| And then you're going to give one guy the power to ban apps all across the planet? | ||
| No, Congress is giving the ability to ban one app. | ||
| You just said that you're giving future presidents the authority to declare something a foreign thing and then ban it? | ||
| That's called an act of Congress, which requires a check from the president, which is exactly how the system is supposed to operate. | ||
| You're saying that Congress has to, you just said the president has the authority. | ||
| It's not that Congress can do it alone, there's a check and balance. | ||
| Congress passes a bill, meaning they have to vote on it. | ||
| After it's voted on, the president can choose to activate it. | ||
| That's two different branches that have to be in agreement. | ||
| That's two out of three. | ||
| That is an excellent system. | ||
| Okay, so this bill does not give future presidents the authority to ban social media apps. | ||
| One app. | ||
| This app. | ||
| TikTok. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hannah Clare just said that a future president would also have the authority. | |
| Yes, she said it would declare this app a foreign adversary or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, it is foreign. | |
| But then they're going to have to sell it to an American company? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good! | |
| Then, in the future, our president could say, this app should also be considered. | ||
| Why do we allow foreign corporations in the United States anyway? | ||
| Serious question. | ||
| Because of global trade. | ||
| Great. | ||
| They can operate as a subsidiary. | ||
| I think Brazil, tons of countries do not allow you to have an independent foreign operation. | ||
| You have to be underneath an existing national operation in that country. | ||
| It reminds me of the laws that have come out in the last couple years of saying that we shouldn't let foreign nationals who have no claim to the U.S. | ||
| buy farmland, right? | ||
| Like, there are tons of, I mean, in this case it's Chinese groups that are buying farmland across the U.S. | ||
| and control Tens of thousands of acres. | ||
| Like, that is of a concern, right? | ||
| You don't have any tie to this country, but you literally own huge chunks of land. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The United States is the only country in the world that allows China to buy elected officials, to buy farmland, and now to control the minds of their children. | |
| Well, that's not true. | ||
| But the United States does let them do that, but China does that way more in many other countries. | ||
| Like, they're buying parts of Africa and South America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Missouri. | |
| And huge numbers. | ||
| And they're buying land everywhere. | ||
| China's effectively colonizing the planet right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That shouldn't be allowed whatsoever. | |
| The US should not allow it at all. | ||
| I want to read this from Bricktop. | ||
| He says, for your information, TikTok has the most truth on it, only behind X. I promise it's not 10% as bad as you're all making it seem. | ||
| Do you even use it? | ||
| Marketing professional here. | ||
| We do use it, and TikTok is the most censorious app we use. | ||
| It's insane the degree to which they ban, censor, and remove content on TikTok. | ||
| Yo, we go on YouTube, YouTube is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. | ||
| YouTube is pretty bad. | ||
| Facebook is probably, uh, Facebook is, I would say this. | ||
| TikTok's the worst. | ||
| Facebook, Instagram, and all their platforms are second, are second worst. | ||
| Then YouTube, then, uh, then X. And actually, to be fair, I think, like, X and Rumble are fairly comparable. | ||
| But, uh, Rumble's probably the best in terms of letting you say what you want to say and give your opinion. | ||
| You know, X brought back the misgendering policy, so clearly it's not perfect, but TikTok is 100% the worst. | ||
| And I can tell you this, as a company that produces social media on every single platform, And it's wild when I get a message saying, we got banned on TikTok again. | ||
| I'm like, for what? | ||
| We were reading something about economics and someone made a reference to a politician or something. | ||
| I honestly, I have no idea. | ||
| I think it may be that someone said someone was stupid. | ||
| And I'm like, they don't. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| We had one that was on dating. | ||
| We had one clip on TikTok that was about dating, and it was from... I can't remember what it was from. | ||
| It was nowhere near bad. | ||
| I think the clip was something like, well, you know, women tend to prefer, like, you know, this or that, and men tend to prefer... It wasn't like women are dumb. | ||
| It wasn't insulting women in any way. | ||
| Just talking about differences between men and women. | ||
| And then they were like, violation removed. | ||
| And then we got... The original Timcast IRL account was banned outright with no strikes and no warnings. | ||
| And they didn't tell us why. | ||
| And then we've since then had numerous clips. | ||
| So so understand this. | ||
| We know that TikTok is the most censorious social media platform. | ||
| So we intentionally avoid things that we deem spicy. | ||
| So we're like, we can't upload a TikTok. | ||
| There's no point. | ||
| So we'll only upload the ones that are like economics and voting. | ||
| And we'll talk about the border a little bit, but we'll be very careful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not controversial whatsoever. | |
| Yeah, well, I mean, you know, it's a little bit, it's politics, but we will definitely | ||
| avoid anything related to, like, leftists or gender ideology. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| And then we're like, this one was totally safe and banned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So common sense is not allowed. | |
| It's control of political thought and opinion. | ||
| TikTok, they'll allow you to, like, X doesn't allow this. | ||
| If you get banned on X, you can't make a new account. | ||
| You can, and if they catch you, they ban you again. | ||
| TikTok doesn't seem to care. | ||
| You get banned, me make a new account. | ||
| That's what everyone does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got banned. | |
| Didn't go back. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think TikTok is the absolute worst platform. | ||
| I think they absolutely manipulate young people and are intentionally making them psychotic. | ||
| I think that at the very least, if you think it should be allowed that a mass media corporation can operate in the United States under a foreign country, no algorithm allowed. | ||
| You say, fine. | ||
| Or open. | ||
| Reverse chronological only. | ||
| Or like, open the algorithm. | ||
| No, not even open. | ||
| You gotta be able to see what it's... Well, if you can verify that it's a clean algorithm, then you can use it. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| You can't define— Just because it's German doesn't mean it's bad. | ||
| There's no clean algorithm. | ||
| Well, if you can verify that the algorithm's not, like, actively sending you more of a certain type of thing because your age or the targeting— But that's what it does. | ||
| Well, some algorithms do that. | ||
| Some will just give you, like, a timeline feed. | ||
| That's an algorithm, too. | ||
| It's just a basic algorithm. | ||
| So what you're really saying is, you would allow certain algorithms— Yes, yes. | ||
| I think there's ethical algorithms. | ||
| Most recently posted. | ||
| That'll be the top of your feed. | ||
| That's an algorithm. | ||
| You would have to, the algorithm would have to be created. | ||
| It would have to fall under a specific category, be regulated, and implemented. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We would need people in Congress that are algorithm literate. | ||
| That's why I don't like the whole banning thing at face value. | ||
| It can't be done. | ||
| It's too heavy handed. | ||
| It's impossible. | ||
| It would be, what you're describing is not possible. | ||
| Of making them open their code to function? | ||
| Making an algorithm that would be, like, if they were to say, okay, the algorithm can, like, what are the criteria by which an algorithm would be allowed to promote content? | ||
| Well, like minds is, um, you got your, your, what is it? | ||
| Time. | ||
| It's like a timeline. | ||
| That's an algorithm. | ||
| Like whoever, whatever most recently got posted is going to be at the top of your feed. | ||
| That's a basic algorithm. | ||
| That's called reverse chronological reverse chronological order is algorithm. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| But we're not talking ethical one. | ||
| We're talking about selective promotion. | ||
| Quite literally what I said was it would only be reverse chronological. | ||
| If you can, you can opt into algorithms like you can build your own algorithm. | ||
| We do that on mines a little bit. | ||
| What criteria do you think would make an ethical algorithm? | ||
| That anything that would be illegal for kids should not be promoted to kids. | ||
| So gender ideology, communism. | ||
| So you're saying it should be? | ||
| Because you're allowed to talk to kids about communism. | ||
| You're allowed to even indoctrinate kids with communism. | ||
| So what you're saying is it should be legal for TikTok to use addictive social media tools To then force extremist ideology to them, and that should be allowed. | ||
| I think that's what I'm trying to avoid. | ||
| And how we do it, I mean, I don't know if I can come up with it on the spot and tell you exactly all the little yeses and noes. | ||
| It's not possible. | ||
| Well, I mean, that's what Congress is for, to debate that kind of stuff. | ||
| It's not possible because they've all tried it for 20 years and it can't be done. | ||
| I don't think anyone's trying it. | ||
| Every time they've tried to make a simple algorithm for promoting content people like, it's been exploited by someone else to do something bad. | ||
| So the answer seems to be reverse chronological only. | ||
| Yeah, or at least, in addition to, you also have your reverse chronological. | ||
| Hey, you know what the best system was? | ||
| Subscribers. | ||
| You'd go on YouTube, you'd say, I subscribe, and if you did, it would show you the content. | ||
| And it would show you the content you subscribe to in reverse chronological order. | ||
| That should be the end of it. | ||
| Now what's happening is TikTok is saying, we're going to show people what they like. | ||
| The only problem is, people get addicted to insane things, and then you end up with kids calling Congress threatening suicide because they're addicted. | ||
| That's an insane level of addiction. | ||
| You don't need TikTok to live. | ||
| You don't need it to function. | ||
| It's not air, it's not water, it's not food. | ||
| To threaten to kill yourself is insane, and that's exactly the problem. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's the biggest concern for me, that it's negatively affecting the young people in this country. | ||
| And we know, at least I've heard that, you know, the equivalent in China operates differently. | ||
| It suggests, you know, different, more academic subjects to its young users. | ||
| And it bothers me that we, that I understand the concern. | ||
| I would worry about, you know, turning government control over or censorship. | ||
| But I think with the American youth, we know that they're hopeless. | ||
| We know that they're depressed. | ||
| We know that social media is addictive. | ||
| And so the idea that, like, we would just let them be manipulated at the hands of a company that's for profit, that's based in a different country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That hates us. | |
| That hates us. | ||
| That doesn't like our way of life. | ||
| It seems like a moral failing to not do something. | ||
| I think letting any corporation control that power is unethical. | ||
| Whether they're a foreign country, I don't think any corporation has the best interest of your kids. | ||
| Yeah, but if a company doesn't do it, then does the government do it? | ||
| No, I think the people should do it. | ||
| That's why I want the code opened. | ||
| So that the people have to verify it on their own to know if it's going to be safe or not. | ||
| Dane, our social media guy is hitting me up telling me what happened. | ||
| He said, Fresh and Fit read a statistic about the happiest group of women and the saddest group were working females. | ||
| TikTok banned us. | ||
| Pop Culture Crisis got banned because Mary Morgan was criticizing the show Mean Girls and TikTok users mass flagged, mass reported the clip and got it removed, I guess. | ||
| Tiktok is the worst platform. | ||
| There is literally no reason to try and utilize it for your business. | ||
| And we talked about it a while ago, like, yeah, there's issues there, but you want to fight this | ||
| indoctrination fight on their platform. And then it was just like, at a certain point, we give up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We get censored. | |
| We get deleted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's useless. | |
| We should put this clip on TikTok, by the way, and just see what happens. | ||
| It'll get removed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| See how long it takes before it gets taken off. | ||
| Let's get our whole account banned for no reason. | ||
| No, put on some new account. | ||
| See how long it takes before this conversation gets deleted. | ||
| So the math we have to do is, if the best we can get is some clips on TikTok, we'll take it because we're trying to win that ideological fight. | ||
| But we can't put this clip on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's junk wear. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| It's just it's just addictive wear. | ||
| That's the problem, man. | ||
| Yeah, we got to get it out of the hands of kids. | ||
| But like you take something away from an addict, they might go into delirium tremens and die. | ||
| Like you take alcohol away from an alcoholic, they can die. | ||
| So you got to ease people like cutting everything off is not the way. | ||
| Are you seeing the reports that Joe Biden might be late because pro Palestine protesters are blocking his motorcade? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The left always eats their own, you know? | |
| We have C-SPAN pulled up right now, and we're just waiting. | ||
| Good ol' C-SPAN, waiting for the State of the Union address. | ||
| It's Bernie Sanders. | ||
| It'll be late, but you know what I think? | ||
| I bet it'll be late on purpose. | ||
| To make it seem like it went longer. | ||
| So that Joe Biden can go short. | ||
| I wonder what they're gonna do with the applause. | ||
| Oh, that's so smart. | ||
| So do you think the pro-Palestine protesters, they're like, yeah, come on, step in the street to make this harder for us to get there? | ||
| No, I think the guy who organized the pro-Palestine protest is like, tell me when, guys. | ||
| And then, you know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just like BLM and Antifa, you know, with the riots and the burning down of cities. | |
| I wonder if they'll use applause strategically to lengthen the speech, to make it seem like... Because, you know, I prefer no applause. | ||
| I just want to hear the conversation straight through. | ||
| But I wonder what they're going to do. | ||
| No, they normally have applause during it. | ||
| Not during debates, but during speeches. | ||
| Because Biden needs a break so he can sit there for a moment and think about what's happening next. | ||
| He's got to clear his mind. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's such a great statement. | ||
| I love that clip now. | ||
| For the next statement. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I suppose while we wait, we can talk a little about what we expect to hear from Joe Biden. | ||
| We've got 10 more minutes, but we have this story from the Daily Mail. | ||
| Joe Biden will target super rich in corporate America in tonight's State of the Union address with sweeping tax rises. | ||
| Thanks, DailyMail. | ||
| Raises to include hiking minimum corporate tax from 21 to 25% and a minimum 25% tax for billionaires. | ||
| I don't care for the billionaire stuff. | ||
| I actually really don't mind raising the corporate tax rate on its face. | ||
| Because you know what that does? | ||
| The corporation, they'll just spend more money. | ||
| So, whatever. | ||
| The left is going to come out and they're going to scream and be like, yeah, tax the rich. | ||
| The funny thing is, This is the funny thing about arguing with leftists. | ||
| They're like, shouldn't we tax the rich? | ||
| And then we get into the surface level argument of like, where would the taxes go? | ||
| When the real argument is, if you tax the rich, the rich will spend their money. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| They will amass more wealth and riches and they will expand their control. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And if you don't tax them, they'll do the same thing. | ||
| If you don't tax them, they'll buy assets, hard assets, and store their... If you tax the corporations at low rates, then they put that money away. | ||
| If you tax them at high rates, they spend that money as fast as they can. | ||
| The purpose of taxing corporations is to speed up the economy, not to generate money from the government, because the government doesn't need tax money to operate because they print money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Print money backed by more printing of money. | ||
| Don't forget that the rich own companies. | ||
| And who's gonna face those prices? | ||
| Those increased prices when we go to the store? | ||
| Us, the American people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Middle America. | |
| Hardworking Americans are gonna be putting this bill. | ||
| There's this funny video I haven't pulled up actually. | ||
| Bloomberg opinion! | ||
| If you look at the data, Biden is quietly having a good presidency. | ||
| The question is, will it matter against Trump? | ||
| Alright, who wants to have their time wasted? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's play a clip. | |
| There's a lot of ways to evaluate the success of a president. | ||
| But if you look at the numbers, Biden's quietly having a good presidency. | ||
| We looked at 10 metrics of US success over the past three years, and each data point tells an important story. | ||
| So first, jobs. | ||
| We added 14.8 million jobs, and the unemployment rate remained below 4%. | ||
| But there were rolling recessions in tech and finance. | ||
| Wages were also stagnant for a long time before ticking up in 2023 and continuing to grow. | ||
| And of course, people are still feeling the pressure cooker impact of inflation. | ||
| But inflation has fallen too. | ||
| Cost of living is also continuing to fall. | ||
| There's even more good news. | ||
| Income inequality has continued to narrow, with most wage gains going toward lower income workers. | ||
| And household wealth has grown tremendously while debt burdens are at record lows. | ||
| The stock market is not the economy, but it's been raging the whole time. | ||
| The S&P 500 has returned 45%, double the return to the rest of the world, but not quite as high as Trump or Obama's full-term performance. | ||
| In terms of violence, overall homicide rates are falling, with overall violent crime at its lowest since 1969. | ||
| And it's so low, in fact, that they only had to call in 750 National Guardsmen into New York City. | ||
| I love this video, because these are the liberal elites who are like, I looked at a data point in a newspaper and they said everything's good, so it must be good! | ||
| And then you get these from MSNBC when they're like, why are Virginians caring about immigration? | ||
| I mean, what's that all about? | ||
| I got another video for you. | ||
| Here's a different video of a regular person We cannot keep doing this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My husband and I got a notice yesterday that our mortgage payment is going up almost $200 between taxes and insurance. | |
| On top of that, my car insurance has gone up. | ||
| My health insurance has gone up with less coverage. | ||
| My health insurance now barely covers anything, but the premiums are higher. | ||
| And daycare costs, insane. | ||
| Daycare costs, I know, I know colleges that are cheaper than daycare. | ||
| So while we have this young woman working at Bloomberg being like, hey, we looked at the data and Biden's doing great. | ||
| The economy is doing really well. | ||
| I mean, people are feeling the heat, but it's getting so good. | ||
| You get all of these videos endlessly of people being like, I can't live this way. | ||
| Yeah, it's interesting to see the cross. | ||
| And especially since the Bloomberg video, they're showing these graphs. | ||
| So they're like, look, look, but the graphs say everything's fine. | ||
| But there's no way to actually verify the data. | ||
| There's no way to say like, oh, I'll click on the study and I'll see what's being reported. | ||
| Is that metric saying that there are fewer people being arrested for violent crimes? | ||
| Are you saying there are fewer convictions for violent crimes? | ||
| They're just like, no, here are some general terms. | ||
| And believe me, because I have graphs, I'm speaking with authority. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyone can make up all of these graphs so that we can fit their narrative. | |
| Or misinterpret the data. | ||
| Out of context, like, uh, inflation is down, I think she said, but what they don't tell you is it used to be at 1, then it was at 50, now it's at 49! | ||
| So we're good to go! | ||
| Inflation's down! | ||
| From what? | ||
| What's the reference? | ||
| We don't, we, that's, and, oh, one of the things that really annoys me is all those cuts. | ||
| We're like, she'll talk for three seconds, and then the thing will cut, and she'll talk for four more seconds, and then the thing will cut, and she'll say another statement. | ||
| But that's the, like, TikTok style, right? | ||
| And like, yo, learn how to speak for ten minutes straight without stopping. | ||
| Like, learn how to know what you're talking about before you start. | ||
| I can't... It's so annoying to watch that, that style. | ||
| It just started in the last decade. | ||
| No, I think it started in the last, like... Twelve years or something. | ||
| Four years while TikTok got really popular. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I associate that with being a very specific... It was like iPhones brought it in. | |
| A certain iPhone generation came out where you were able to get clips of video, one after the other, and then all of a sudden it started populating the internet. | ||
| And it makes people seem like they're smart because they'll say really articulate things, and then there'll be a cut, and they'll say another really... But they're memorizing the thing before they hit record, and then they stop, and then they memorize the next thing, then they say stop. | ||
| I gotta say something. | ||
| I didn't do my morning show this morning because I was not feeling very well, and, you know, I wanted to make sure I was here for the State of the Union. | ||
| Oh, oh, okay, what's going on? | ||
| Something's happening. | ||
| Well, let- Let your Mike Johnson- Gentleman from New York, Mr. Jeffries. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gentlewoman from Massachusetts- All right, something's happening, we'll get that, I guess. | |
| Gentlewoman- or gentleman from California, Mr. Aguilar. | ||
| Oh, I didn't roll call. | ||
| Okay, I don't care about roll call. | ||
| So, I'll tell you the story. | ||
| Look, I wasn't feeling very well, but I knew that if I was gonna do the State of the Union show, I had to take the morning off and just relax all day, and I'm still not feeling very well, and now these pro-Palestinian protesters are gonna make me stay awake for 20 minutes extra when I gotta go to bed. | ||
| They're doing it to target you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're coming after you. | |
| They're doing it to me. | ||
| They're sitting there being like, we're going to make Tim Pool stay awake. | ||
| I want to know who's wearing white, what we're mad about right now. | ||
| That's what Democrats do. | ||
| Do you remember this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, with AOC? | |
| They've done it a couple of times. | ||
| They're like, we're wearing white because something bad has happened to women. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe something with Gaza. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| From now on, wearing white is a symbol of gun rights. | ||
| What is Kamala saying? | ||
| Everybody wear white to symbolize the right to keep and bear arms. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So they're just doing roll call for everybody or something. | ||
| Well, I hope they're having a great time. | ||
| Dude, Congress is like the worst, worst thing ever. | ||
| Just ever. | ||
| It's like, take a committee meeting from your workplace and then just have it go nonstop for 200 years. | ||
| And like, it just turns into this. | ||
| It is the most pretentious, fake... You know, it is like the Mexican standoff of negotiations. | ||
| Everyone's pretending. | ||
| Everyone hates each other. | ||
| Nothing's going to get done. | ||
| It's just the worst thing imaginable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is theater. | |
| All of these old people. | ||
| At least theater's entertaining. | ||
| Like, if Congress was just, like, Newsies, I'd be like, okay, that's not so bad. | ||
| They broke out into song and dance every once in a while. | ||
| I would be like, okay, fine, you guys are keeping us entertained. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That'd be awesome. | |
| Instead, they do nothing. | ||
| Oh, we got Massey and Gates. | ||
| Oh, they're hanging out. | ||
| Hanging out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a good sign. | |
| Oh, look at this. | ||
| Our future comedy ticket! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Romney. | |
| Mansion Romney. | ||
| Do you remember when Manchin was asked? | ||
| He's like, yeah, I would consider picking Romney as a VP. | ||
| Like they are teeing up to run together. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| Jamie Raskin is a second worst only to Adam Schiff. | ||
| I loved it when Michael Tracy was ragging on Adam Schiff. | ||
| That was hilarious. | ||
| He was like, it says a lot that one of the most egregious liars of our generation is about to win the Senate seat in California. | ||
| Did you see that Annapolina Luna is going to skip this? | ||
| And she said, I can't be part of this puppet show. | ||
| You know, we're investigating Biden and we know that he's corrupt. | ||
| And so he's just going to stand there and spin for two hours. | ||
| So I'm not even going to be there. | ||
| Yeah, I want to hear, is Mike Johnson talking to him? | ||
| Who's that guy? | ||
| No. | ||
| Do you hear, like, the deflation in their voices? | ||
| Like, is their morale down? | ||
| I wanna hear Mike Johnson, see if he's up or down about this. | ||
| He'll stay neutral, I bet. | ||
| He's pretty neutral. | ||
| Where's Trump doing his live commentary? | ||
| We should comment on Trump's commentary. | ||
| Like, all we need is Trump's face in a box in the corner talking to a camera as this is happening. | ||
| I hope he pulls it off. | ||
| He got to it, dude. | ||
| He's like, look at, look at Rob Dean. | ||
| I just gotta pause it right here. | ||
| That's what I wanted him to do for the debates, too. | ||
| Trump live commenting on anything is going to be hilarious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I know. | |
| Like Snoop kind of parlayed into that kind of, uh, that career. | ||
| You know, he does streaming now. | ||
| Oh, this is where, uh, the guy with the horns was briefly the president, right? | ||
| Jacob Chansley? | ||
| Is this, is this where he was when he became president for about 20 minutes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's where he sat and that, the speaker's... No, this is, this is the representatives. | |
| He was in the Senate chamber, I think. | ||
| I know that guy. | ||
| He's really cool, actually. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Jacob is awesome. | |
| I met him in Arizona, and I've been with him in a few spaces. | ||
| He's an ex and loves America. | ||
| He's trying to become a congressman as well in Arizona. | ||
| He has my full endorsement. | ||
| And, you know, insurrectionists don't come with banners and selfie sticks. | ||
| They come fully armored. | ||
| Yeah, I think his presence on that day as the shaman actually de-escalated things. | ||
| Like, that could've been horrific. | ||
| I was talking to my dad, he was like, they could've opened fire on the crowd. | ||
| I mean, we skated by with very little real damage. | ||
| And I think Jacob's a big part of that, because he kept people calm, singing. | ||
| So they're bringing in Skotis. | ||
| This is the worst thing ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What a bunch of corrupt politicians. | |
| This is why I hate government, because I wouldn't want to be in this pretense. | ||
| Like the theater of it? | ||
| I'd be wearing this. | ||
| I mean, do they have a dress code? | ||
| You know what I like about the private sector? | ||
| Yeah, there is a dress code in Congress. | ||
| In the private sector, I can go into someone's office, I can put my feet on their table, and tell them to shut the up, because I don't respect them, and they're bad people. | ||
| Everyone here is like, yes, yes, we're all clapping for the other people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, dude, Fake nice to one another. | |
| Say one thing and stab, then stab the American people in the back. | ||
| Is that Biden's motorcade on the right? | ||
| Finally got through? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Supreme Court justices have to show up wearing robes. | |
| It's funny because everyone is sort of like, so what are we doing? | ||
| We're just waiting. | ||
| I feel like that whole, like, protest would have just been set up to slow down in order to make Biden's speech shorter. | ||
| They've been setting that up for 48 hours at least. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no way that, oh, we just, we broke and they beat us this time, guys. | |
| Oh, we screwed up. | ||
| It just like gives me like- Yeah, I don't believe that they could allow a handful of just random leftists to block the president's motorcade. | ||
| I was in LA and Obama was driving through and all of Wilshire was shut down. | ||
| I couldn't even get a bus. | ||
| Especially since the protesters have been there for, like, several hours at this point. | ||
| You don't think anyone at any point was like, hey, there might be a problem, we should come up with another route or something. | ||
| Yeah, for real, no. | ||
| I was in... The same thing happened with Joe Biden in Hollywood, for me. | ||
| I was just trying to get to one place, but they locked up, like, city blocks. | ||
| It took me, like, three hours to get home, which normally takes me, like, 45 minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything is coordinated. | |
| Everything is pre-planned. | ||
| This protest? | ||
| There's no way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somebody's footing the bill, and that's somebody that supports Biden. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Someone's got to squeech as short as possible. | ||
| That's what I'm trying to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh, I don't know. | |
| Well, if Biden's like, we're going to have to go short because we got jammed up by these protesters, I'd be like, great, I'm going to bed. | ||

unidentified
|
Ten dollars. | |
| Do you think Kevin McCarthy is, like, really angry right now? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he's supposed to be right there. | ||
| Well, I mean, I think that's why he left, right? | ||
| He was like, I'm out of here. | ||
| I'm not even going to watch this happen. | ||
| They do have someone who had their first child through IVF sitting in Jill Biden's box, so he'll probably reference the frozen embryos decision. | ||
| But didn't they just protect IVF? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think the IVF thing is interesting, but it's definitely going to be weaponized. | ||
| I mean, Hillary Clinton came out and was like, next they're coming for birth control! | ||
| Like, this is something the Dems are trying to say in a post-Roe world, anything is something that conservatives can attack. | ||
| But all of the legislation in Alabama that they used to protect the thing they were concerned about was proposed by Republicans, from what I could find. | ||
| There's a couple of cool guys right there. | ||
| There he is! | ||
| and Byron. Cory Mills and Byron. They are both very based. | ||
| I really like Cory. He is also based. | ||
| He's great. I actually saw president, I think he might be the president one day, | ||
| Cory Mills. That guy's legit. Brilliant, dude. There he is. | ||
| Biden hath arrived. | ||
| I hope you guys are ready for a riveting speech. Biden! | ||
| I am excited to bask in the sweet whimsy of Joe Biden on this evening. | ||
| Finally the mask is off! | ||

unidentified
|
jokes I think it's gonna be like a stand-up comedy routine. | |
| Finally the mask is off. He pulls off that skin-tight face mask that he's | ||
| had on for the past year. | ||
| The Prime Minister of Sweden is in Joe Biden's box tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Didn't he? | ||
| Yeah, because Sweden just joined NATO today. | ||
| It became official today, and he is in the U.S. | ||
|
unidentified
|
visiting, so he's going to hang out and watch Joe Biden. | |
| Sweden is the largest weapons manufacturer per capita. | ||
| Yeah, really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| You think he'd want to be with his own country when they join NATO, yes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or is he just admitting that he's over and he doesn't care about I would go to the U.S. | |
| If I get invited to the U.S., I would go. | ||
| If I was a foreign state. | ||
| But you think you would go on the day you get to join NATO? | ||
| Like, wouldn't you want to be with your own country? | ||
| It's already all done. | ||
| Sweden's over. | ||
| Who cares about them? | ||
| We're all a subsidiary of NATO now. | ||
| Yeah, it's just coming into effect now. | ||
| I think it's different now. | ||
| There he is! | ||
| It's him! | ||
| Oh, he is there! | ||

unidentified

George Santos! | |
| Hey, he made it! | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Is he still in Congress? | ||
| No. | ||

No. | |

Oh, cool. | |

I'm kidding. | |
| What do you think is the best case scenario for Biden right now? | ||
| That he, like, talks for 50 minutes? | ||
| Gavin Newsom runs up and saves his life as he collapses on stage? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He doesn't, like, stall for too long. | |
| Is Bob Menendez here tonight? | ||
| Oh yeah, I don't know. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| He just announced that he's not seeking re-election, right? | ||
| Earlier today. | ||
| You know what would be really awesome? | ||
| If while Biden was speaking, behind him, This, like, crack started to appear, and then a rift in the time-space continuum opened up, swallowing the entirety of DC all at once. | ||
| And all that was left was a gigantic crater, and we were all left wondering for the rest of time, what happened? | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| Just gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm kidding, that would be World War III right away. | |
| If DC just disappeared. | ||
| Plus, there are a lot of good people right there. | ||
| You know, we were shouting out Byron and Cory Mills. | ||
| Do you guys know Marco Rubio at all? | ||
| I've never met him before, and I hear a lot about him. | ||
| I've been hearing about him for a decade, 15 years or so. | ||
| We'll turn down the chatter, because the chatter is pointless. | ||
| I think he ran for president a couple times, Marco? | ||
| Yeah, he ran for president. | ||
| He's out of Florida. | ||
| I saw when Mitch McConnell stepped down, there was a Marco Rubio should be next speaker. | ||
| Where's Fetterman? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't think he will be, though. | ||
| Yo, Fetterman. | ||
| What a heel turn, that guy. | ||
| He came from nothing, and now he's something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I kind of like John better. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Oh, dramatic lighting, here we go. | ||
| No, I think he's just standing. | ||
| Do we think that Kamala Harris really regrets signing on as VP, or do you think she's happy? | ||
| Yes, I think they told her she's not allowed to upstage Joe as the president, so she has to talk like a moron. | ||
| She's like, it'll be fine because then I get to be president. | ||
| No one's asked the question, why is it that she didn't sound this stupid ten years ago as she does now? | ||
| And it's because they were like, look, Joe's broken, but you can't upstage the president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You have to look broken as well. | |
| Wow, that's a tough job. | ||
| Tough gig. | ||
| To be honest, I'd rather watch Thomas Massey and Matt Gaetz talk and not hear what they're saying than watch any of this other crap. I'd rather just watch those guys, | ||
| their body language as they're communicating through this. Like, yeah, are you guys listening at C-SPAN? | ||
| Do this more. These guys are awesome. | ||
| This is the future of our country, man. People like this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. I wonder if Mike Johnson is going to rip up the papers like Pelosi. | |
| Is that Boebert? Who's sitting next to Gates? | ||
| I think it's Boebert sitting next to Gates. | ||
| And who's on the end? | ||
| Massey. | ||
| No, no, other side. | ||
| His face is familiar, but I can't place him. | ||
| We just had him, didn't we? | ||
| He was on the show. | ||
| No, Thomas Massey is on the other side of Bovert, but who's on the other side of Gates? | ||
| Yeah, Bovert was between Massey and the other guy that looked like Massey. | ||
| Yeah, where's Clarence? | ||
| On the other end. | ||
| Are you just saying all white men with gray hair look the same? | ||
| I'm a racist, I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's part of my problem. | |
| You're actually filming older white men? | ||
| That's rude. | ||
| Everyone looks the same to me. | ||
| I don't see color. | ||
| You're just facially blind? | ||
| Everyone. | ||
| I don't see shade or tint or any of that stuff. | ||
| It's a classic Joe Biden event where it's just like waiting and waiting and waiting. | ||
| I thought you were supposed to start at 9, sir. | ||
| Yo, you guys at C-SPAN, nice job. | ||
| I like this camera coverage. | ||
| Sandman. | ||
| No, there's one evil guy. | ||
| He got the boot. | ||
| He's the guy in 2016 where I was like, this DNC, there's something really, really wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He had the boot and he just swallowed it. | |
| His time in government peaked at Joe Biden's inauguration when he became the meme because he had his arms crossed with his mittens on. | ||
| Do you remember that? | ||
| That was the last I saw of Bernie and then he was gone, even though he's technically still here. | ||
| So the question is, is there a dress code for the State of the Union? | ||
| I think there's always a dress code in Congress. | ||
| I'd wear a robe. | ||
| What kind of robe? | ||
| I'd wear a robe like a justice. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be cool. | ||
| Do you wear a crown? | ||
| You should have a gold crown too with a scepter and a robe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just do the whole classic Asian... But the robe is like, everybody's wearing a suit. | |
| And if you have to dress up, then I choose to be outside of the norm and put on a robe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Would you wear a white wig? | ||
| A powdered wig? | ||
| No, I'd just wear a robe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd wear a robe. | |
| Because what if they were like, you can't wear the beanie? | ||
| Well, I just wear a robe. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Because the white powder will make it look good on you. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| They're discriminating against Fetterman, saying he can't wear a beanie. | ||
| That's mean. | ||
| That's rude. | ||
| Anytime that you pull off a hat and another hat is on, it's gonna be awesome. | ||
| That's a joke from Teen Titans Go. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| And it's probably just a repetitive joke used over and over again. | ||
| Looney Tunes. | ||
| But when they pull off Robin's mask, he's wearing another mask underneath. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, true. | |
| Well, Biden's got me chomping at the bit. | ||
| Congratulations, Joe. | ||
| He's late. | ||
| Okay, I swear, if he walks out in sunglasses with a leather jacket on, I'm gonna be like, okay. | ||
| What if presidents, when they did the State of the Union, had like a walkout song, like they do in the UFC? | ||
| What would Joe Biden's walkout song be? | ||
| Eye of the Tiger? | ||
| No. | ||
| You Got the Touch? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got the touch! | |
| You know that song? | ||
| Yeah, that's it right there. | ||
| That's her boogie voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, now I'm not accepting any other answers. | |
| Good to know! | ||
| He walks out to Taylor Swift. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, he walks out to Taylor Swift and she has to issue a statement being like, I am not affiliated with Joe Biden. | |
| No, he walks out to the song and then he looks down at Kagan in the front row and winks and licks his lips. | ||
| Yeah, he walks up to an edited version of Taylor Swift's song. | ||
| He's not feeling 22. | ||
| Trouble. | ||
| I'm bored. | ||
| Trouble. | ||
| Feeling 1922, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Feeling 1922? | |
| Boom. | ||
| Roasted. | ||
| Sheamus. | ||
| That'd be crazy. | ||
| That's one for Sheamus. | ||
| Feeling 1922. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Joe Biden was... This is 10 minutes on, man. | |
| What are you doing, dude? | ||
| He was eligible to be president back then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Eligible? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| The thing is, anybody who's listening to this, not as the video, but just like on a podcast platform, must be skipping ahead over this, being like, come on, guys, let's get to the State of the Union. | ||
| Hey, don't blame us, blame Joe Biden, he's late. | ||
| I'm also skipping ahead. | ||
| Ten minute push is like, whoa, dude. | ||
| Nine o'clock's supposed to start. | ||
| What's that thing they say about college classes? | ||
| If your professor's 15 minutes late, you can leave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can leave. | |
| If he's late enough, can Congress just bounce? | ||
| The meme is grade schoolers saying, if the teacher doesn't show up, if the teacher is 10 minutes late legally, you're allowed to leave. | ||
| Maybe this is like a meta speech where Biden's like, you want to know what the State of the Union is? | ||
| It's that there's no one in charge. | ||
| No one's here. | ||
| No one's present. | ||
| Or he's like, I got you all to communicate. | ||
| This is the State of the Union. | ||
| There's no one in charge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| That's true. | ||
| Ian nailed it. | ||
| That was a 20 right there, Ian. | ||
| You got the touch and there's no leader. | ||
| Two 20s back to back. | ||
| Kamala says we have to applaud now. | ||
| Double 20, dude. | ||
| It's Dr. Jill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| Love, Jay. | ||
| I love how like a doctor and education is just worthless. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Yeah, Jill Biden is pretty worthless. | ||
| I'm really good at teaching people how to teach. | ||
| That means nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got the touch. | |
| Biden's walkout song. | ||
| I just feel like there should be a walkout song. | ||
| It's perfect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| I was trying to think of something like Hansy or Gropey or something. | ||
| Oh yeah, you got the tongue. | ||
| I didn't even think of that part. | ||
| You didn't even realize. | ||
| Stan Bush. | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Peter, oh my god. | |
| The greatest president of our time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The most votes in American history. | |
| 81 million votes. | ||
| Cabinet members. | ||
| It's the fellowship. | ||
| The Fellowship of the Ring. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's Frodo. | |
| He made it. | ||
| He brought the ring. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He'll be disposing of it tonight. | |
| She's little. | ||
| Yeah, she's very small. | ||
| That's Gimli. | ||
| Oh, yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Haha. | |
| Okay, alright. | ||
| I think this dressing in white thing is weird because I don't know what they're mad about, | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're always mad about something. | |
| They're like pledging a sorority in white or something. | ||
| They're mad about gun control. | ||
| Are you sure? | ||
| I already declared it. | ||
| I thought it was Roe v. Wade. | ||
| I declared wearing white as a protest in gun control. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it was about illegal immigration. | |
| Oh, right. | ||
| I thought they were just wearing their uniforms. | ||
| Yeah, they are wearing white because they want to have more guns and fewer illegal immigrants in the country. | ||
| It's nice of them to do that. | ||
| All right, is something happening yet? | ||
| Did Biden show up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| No, the cabinet's just taking their sweet time. | ||
| Come on, guys. | ||
| We're behind schedule. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There it goes. | |
| Washington, D.C. | ||
| is the highest concentration of talentless people who want to feel important. | ||
| What is she carrying? | ||
| A water bottle? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A fire extinguisher? | |
| It's an iPhone! | ||
| So is there going to be a fire? | ||
| I saw Mallorca's right there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What if Trump crashed the party? | ||
| You know what I read today? | ||
| I just saw Pete Buttigieg, just made me think about this. | ||
| Mitch McConnell's wife was the Secretary of Transportation under Trump, and then she resigned after all of January 6th, though. | ||
| I forgot that. | ||
| You know what should have happened? | ||
| Someone should have invited Trump to be their guest, and Trump should have come. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Would have been great. | |
| He's the one booing from the corner. | ||
| No, no, he just watches. | ||
| He just sits there and claps. | ||
| I think it would have gotten under Joe Biden's skin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, he'd freak out. | |
| I think it went in a great move. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just think it's a great move. | |
| It's insane. | ||
| Oh, there's our friend Mayorkas. | ||
| Yeah, it's like a senior center mingling party or mingling event. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| Who's the best member of Biden's cabinet, if you had to pick one? | ||
| Like no vitality, like. | ||
| Yeah, it's like a senior center mingling party or mingling event, it's wild. | ||
| They won't be saying anything, they'll just be alone. | ||
| Who's the best member of Biden's cabinet if you had to pick one? | ||
| Buttigieg. Austin. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he just disappeared for a while. | ||
| Yeah, he just left. | ||
| That was rough. | ||
| Buttigieg has disappeared longer. | ||
| Yeah, I haven't seen him in like a year. | ||
| But he told everyone he was going out. | ||
| But I mean like, the one that's not there, you know what I mean? | ||
| Like, they do the least damage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Except for the fact that we were facing international skirmishes. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| After Afghanistan, it's just like, you go to the dentist or whatever it is you're doing, I don't care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, we're about to... He's in the ICU! | |
| The dentist! | ||
| He was at the dentist for two weeks! | ||
| Yeah, you know, whatever. | ||
| Whatever keeps him out of the White House. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They all belong in a nursing home. | |
| Man, I think about, like, age, having, like, age limits just because of that. | ||
| Like, at some point the body fails. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You need strength, you need vitality, fortitude, willpower to be able to lead something. | |
| And also, like, A future. | ||
| If you don't have a future to worry about, then why would you care about the present? | ||
| Except for your kids and stuff, obviously. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're just here because they need to keep purchasing bigger homes, nicer cars. | |
| They have nothing else to offer. | ||
| Once they leave, they don't have a job. | ||
| What kind of value do they bring to society? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| They've never had a job. | ||
| It's always been, run for office, you'll get rich, trade some stocks. | ||
| That's how you're going to do it. | ||
| And that's immoral. | ||
| Do you want to place bets on when Biden's going to take the stage here? | ||
| Imagine everyone just leaves Congress. | ||
|
unidentified
|
seven minutes nine twenty two is my guess i heard that i'm trying to get my own doesn't show up | |
| within fifty minutes i'm legally allowed to be in the show | ||
| go to bed every sleep on this well | ||
|
unidentified
|
fifteen minutes is crazy If Trump would have done this, if he would have made everyone wait, what, uh, 15 minutes, he would have gotten trashed. | |
| Every headline would be like, he's not capable of leading. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's insane. | |
| He probably, something. | ||
| But with Biden, it doesn't work that way. | ||
| I wonder if he's going to address why he was late. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Biden. | |
| No. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| No, definitely not. | ||
| Let's just start with the pre-written speech. | ||
| We don't have bail guards, but let's take some gentlemen's bets. | ||
| How many of you think he's going to say some kind of gibberish word tonight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that always happens. | |
| Everybody? | ||
| Gibberish? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Agreed. | |
| Everyone agreed, so all gibberish. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All gibberish! | |
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe Camilla jumps in and just starts laughing like a maniac. | |
| Tomo laugh at? | ||
| He slurred several times last year. I think he will pause for like punchlines. He does do that | ||
|
unidentified
|
He'll be like look around but after he made a joke. Pick up loss. He's known for his comedic timings. | |
| What if like he's very good at it? What if someone just walked up and said ladies and gentlemen | ||
| The president is missing Then we start a new show on you the USA Network where we | ||
|
unidentified
|
research the president Then Gavin just sidles on by, just sidles in. | |
| Like, don't worry. | ||
| Sneaks in from the shadows. | ||
| You know what I was thinking earlier? | ||
| What if they come in and they're like, Biden's tired, he doesn't want to do this, and they never go home. | ||
| You know what I was thinking earlier? | ||
| I was leaving my house and I saw a plane in the sky, and then I thought to myself, I wonder throughout history how many people wished upon an alien spaceship on accident. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You know, and the aliens are, like, probing the minds of all humans. | ||
| And they're like, oh, that one's asking us for a wish again. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, it happens. | ||
| The psychic aliens that mask themselves as shooting stars to receive your wishes? | ||
| Or aliens created the idea of wishing on a shooting star so that humans would direct their thoughts to the spaceship so they could track human desires. | ||
| Know thine enemy. | ||
| We've inadvertently fed them the summation of human knowledge? | ||
| Of human desire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-oh! | |
| Joe Biden. | ||
| Joe, Joe, Joe. | ||
| Here he is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here he is, dude. | |
| I was wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The biggest traitor of America. | |
| What a joke. | ||
| Maybe he falls. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| He is so old compared to even 10 years ago. | ||
| That guy. | ||
| There's Matt Gaetz. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Enjoy. | |
| Enjoy. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Doesn't look good. | ||
| What if, like, Gates just gives him a big hug? | ||
| Yeah, that's what he's gotta do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pretty low, I think. | |
| Whoever is shaking his hand, he cannot be in Congress. | ||
| Whoever he is, in power. | ||
| That guy on the left? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All of those guys shaking his hands. | |
| Corrupt politicians. | ||
| Sellouts. | ||
| Chuck Schumer, not surprised. | ||
| Like, they're just speaking to the authority. | ||
| If he wasn't the president, no one would be giving him the time of day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He belongs in a nursing home. | |
| Also, sir, you're almost 20 minutes late. | ||
| Like, hustle to the podium here a little bit. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's gonna forget his speech with all the hands shaking. | |
| What if he just, like, turns around and leaves, like... Well, I think this is right. | ||
| Like, he's dragging this out for as long as possible, so if he only speaks for 30 minutes, they can still be like, and he ended at 10 o'clock, which is about normal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So if those bats still go through, I'm gonna... Also, he still looks lost. | |
| Under 30 minutes to my bet. | ||
| Under 30. | ||
| Sub 30 minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think Chuck... Like, sure, behind him is, like, getting impatient with how slow this is going. | |
| Yeah, I think Chuck is just there to guide him to the podium, because then Candela has to do her job. | ||
| He brought his time. | ||
| You can do it, Joe. | ||
| You can do it. | ||
| Come on, just a couple more months, Joe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got you, baby. | |
| Come on. | ||
| He looked bewildered. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somebody said thank you. | |
| Thank you for what? | ||
| For wars? | ||
| Yeah, make America great again. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Fist bump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe she gets a handshake. | |
| Bump those fists, baby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, Trump 2020 right in the bottom. | |
| One America. | ||
| That's Marjorie. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's Marjorie. | |
| That's right. | ||
| He's hugging the Democrats out of the aisle so intensely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's going on the gram. | |
| This is so fake. | ||
| They just really believe in gun rights. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is why we're no longer respected, why we're no longer feared. | |
| Because of these politicians are so useless. | ||
| I would think like if I was in the Republican Party or something, I would go up to Joe and be like one America baby and like still be good on good terms. | ||
| I would go out of my way to be on good terms with the people on the other side on purpose. | ||
| A coalition building. | ||
| Abe Lincoln, that kind of mentality. | ||
| Yeah, like, you know, he's groped a bunch of kids on camera and sexually assaulted a woman. | ||
| Manipulate him so he likes you so you can debase the system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He likes to sniff little kids. | |
| Look at Marjorie. | ||
| Oh, what's she saying? | ||
| Marjorie's saying something to him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm gonna be surprised if I don't know what's gonna happen. | |
| I'm gonna be surprised if I don't know what's gonna happen. | ||
| He ignored her. | ||
| It would have been awesome if Marjorie just looked him dead in the eyes and was like, | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're gonna win! | |
| And we're gonna win big! | ||
| You know what this reminds me of? | ||
| Like, we do live events, and it'll be like, okay, we're live in five, and then when our guest is coming on, everyone's hounding him, and I'm like, like, just pull him in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Security's gotta go and drag him in, because this is never gonna get going. | |
| But he doesn't care. | ||
| Get a selfie, get a selfie real quick. | ||
| Get a selfie real quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who would want to take a picture with him? | |
| That's my question. | ||
| Does the president usually walk through the entire crowd in front of the House of Representatives? | ||
| He has to. | ||
| That's how he enters, always. | ||
| It's just that not everyone is drawing it out. | ||
| Do they usually do selfies like this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think this is all coordinated because they want to make him look like he's loved, like | |
| he's respected. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the show. | ||
| That's their show. | ||
| He's late, and then he's just soaking up the attention. | ||
| Like, what does that communicate to the American voters, right? | ||
| This is actually about Joe's ego. | ||
| It's not about delivering a message. | ||
| It's not about speaking to the people. | ||
| If he really was trying to talk to the people, wouldn't he just book it to the podium here? | ||
| Or start a YouTube channel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Or something. | ||
| A Joe Biden YouTube channel. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| Give me the State of the Union. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| It's not. | ||
| Soviet applause? | ||
| I think it is going to take him almost 10 minutes to get to the podium. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This looks like a swearing-in ceremony. | |
| All of these people taking pictures. | ||
| Shaking their hands. | ||
| Also, he's not walking with confidence. | ||
| It's like he's sort of neandered down the aisle. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like... | ||
| Oh, this is so cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't believe I'm here. | |
| I can't believe this is happening. | ||
| I used to watch those videos of people like crying and clapping for dictators and stuff. | ||
| About how ridiculous it was that they just kept clapping. | ||
| Yeah, that's what it feels like. | ||
| That's what it feels like. | ||
| That's what it looks like. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gross. | |
| Disgusting. | ||
| Yeah, Chuck Schumer is definitely there to guide him, you know, to push him to the podium. | ||
| 30 minutes. | ||
| I say sub-30 minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I say he hits the stage at like 35 and then pushes sub-30. | |
| Sub-30 minute speech. | ||
| Everyone's for gibberish. | ||
| They're Kamala laughing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Biden tripping. | |
| Can the Republicans just sit down? | ||
| Like let's get this show on the road. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Four more years of what? | |
| Of wars, of inflation. | ||
| Did she just give him a kiss? | ||
| Yeah, she kissed the side of his lips. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like that crack part where the saliva gets out. | |
| No respect. | ||
| I think she got his lips, I couldn't tell. | ||
| Four more years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Only these corrupt Democrats are the only ones saying that. | |
| You know, like, what if he just goes up there and he's just brutally honest and everything? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, I went to the doctor and he lied to everybody and said I was fine, but I'm not. | |
| I don't even want to be here right now. | ||
| I got two plates in my brain. | ||
| I'm 81. | ||
| I don't know how much more time I've got left. | ||
| Talking hurts. | ||
| I want to go to sleep. | ||
| I would love Joe if he just pulled the rug out from underneath everything and just lights it on fire. | ||
| I'm tired of this shit. | ||
| If he did that, I'd be like, okay, that was good. | ||
| You'd be the greatest hero in American history. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| Yeah, just vote for Trump. | ||
| I don't want to do this anymore. | ||
| I'm tired of acting sick anyway. | ||
| I'm out of here. | ||
| I would go make a Joe Biden t-shirt tomorrow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's like, you want to know what I was trying to do on Saturday morning? | |
| I was trying to have a muffin and there weren't enough blueberries in it. | ||
| And I just thought to myself, I do all of this every day. | ||
| Everyone hates me and I can't even get a goddamn blueberry. | ||
| What am I doing? | ||
| I'd be like, I hear you, man. | ||
| I feel you, Joe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People would be like, yeah, some good points, Joe. | |
| Makes himself more relatable by just admitting that this is the worst. | ||
| Does it always start at 9, 20 minute schmooze fest, and then he talks? | ||
| Yeah, it's usually like right before 9 he's walking in. | ||
| Yes, he starts at 9. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I can actually, I can pull up the old... Last year's? | |
| I don't see Clarence Thomas. | ||
| I have not seen him since. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it when he gets grueling, when he gets activated, you know? | |
| I just heard him talk for the first time on a video like last week. | ||
| He was complaining. | ||
| He said something to somebody. | ||
| A bunch of people laughed. | ||
| He seemed very friendly. | ||
| Do you know him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not personally. | |
| Hopefully, I will in the future. | ||
| He's right there. | ||
| He just needs to go off like 12 more feet and then finally we'll hear from Joe Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is great to be here, folks. | |
| They just all gestured to him, like, come on, this way. | ||
| Joe, you did it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Made it to the podium. | |
| Your lifetime of service has finally paid off. | ||
| I'm pretty sure last year he started very promptly. | ||
| Yeah, because everyone was doubting his abilities. | ||
| And it went a little bit over. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is Mike going to rip up the papers like Pelosi did? | |
| Is he strong enough to do it? | ||
| Doesn't he just look not confident in his body language? | ||
| It is 9.26 and finally... Yeah, if he raps by 10, wow. | ||
| Sub 30. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm calling it. | |
| I'm calling it. | ||
| What if he's just like, the State of the Union is pretty good and thank you for coming. | ||
| I wish. | ||
| This year the State of the Union is Tennessee! | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then he has a thing like, State of the Union. | |
| Guys, this... This year's State of the Union. | ||
| This State of the Union could have been an email. | ||
| Could have been an email. | ||
| Same as Nikki Haley's campaign. | ||
| Wow, the applause didn't stop for ten minutes. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Started my stopwatches, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Good evening. | ||
| If I were smart, I'd go home now. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Whoa, what was that? | ||
| That was weird. | ||
| That was like a jump cut. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Madam Vice President, members of Congress, my fellow Americans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There it was. | |
| In January 1941, Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation, and he said, I address you at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Hitler was on the march. | ||
| Can you tally his slurs, Serge? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How many is that, like 16 already? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I'll give him like three. | ||
| Well, I think it was just one so far. | ||
| How many is that? Like 16 already? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This was no ordinary time. | ||
| I'll give him like three. | ||
| Freedom of democracy. | ||
| Well I think it was just one so far. | ||
| We're under assault in the world. | ||
| Tonight, I come to this same chamber to address the nation. | ||
| Now, it's we who face unprecedented moment in history. | ||
| history of the union. | ||
| And yes, my purpose tonight is to wake up the Congress and alert the American people | ||
| that this is no ordinary moment either. | ||
| Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under | ||
| assault at home as they are today. | ||
| What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack both at home | ||
| and overseas at the very same time. | ||
| Overseas, Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout | ||
| Europe and beyond. | ||
| If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you he will not. | ||
| Why is that a good thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the positive applause that bothers me. | |
| Just watch Kamala's reaction. | ||
| That's all that I'm here for. | ||
| Just to see her try and keep her straight face. | ||
| She's the human equivalent of the applause light that they show studio audiences. | ||
|
unidentified
|
More funding. | |
| More billions. | ||
| Kamala's gonna stand up and clap, because everyone else did. | ||
| War is good. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| We need to wake up and fund more. | ||
| That is all Ukraine is asking. | ||
| They're not asking for American soldiers. | ||
| In fact, there are no American soldiers in the war in Ukraine, and I'm determined to keep it that way. | ||
| Pretty sure that's not true. | ||
| Now, assistance to Ukraine is being blocked by those who want to walk away from our world leadership. | ||
| There's another one. | ||
| It wasn't long ago when a Republican president named Ronald Reagan thundered, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. | ||
| I mean, like, 40 years. | ||
| That's not long ago to him. | ||
| Just half his life. | ||
| Yesterday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ukraine has gotten more money than the entire Marine Corps. | |
| That's actually not a quote. | ||
| Also say his name, dude. | ||
| That's actually not a quote. | ||
| The president actually said that. | ||
| Also say his name, dude. | ||
| Falling down to a Russian leader. | ||
| I think it's outrageous, it's dangerous, and it's unacceptable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh oh, it's a campaign speech. | |
| Oh, Mitt Romney stood up for that one. | ||
| America is a founding member of NATO, the military alliance of democratic nations created after World War II to prevent war and keep the peace. | ||
| Today, we've made NATO stronger than ever. | ||
| We welcomed Finland to the alliance last year. | ||
| Oh, I thought he was going to mess it up. | ||
| Me too. | ||
| He's getting nervous. | ||
| Sweden officially joined and their minister is here tonight. | ||
| Come here, stand up. | ||
| He's not even saying his name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He couldn't remember. | |
| He couldn't remember his name. | ||
| Their minister, that guy who I had lunch with today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoever is sitting next to my wife. | |
| And they know how to fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's saying that it's okay to go to war to continue the funding for Ukraine. | |
| I say this to Congress, we have to stand up to Putin. | ||
| Send me a bipartisan national security bill. | ||
| History is literally watching. | ||
| History is watching. | ||
| If the United States walks away, it will put Ukraine at risk. | ||
| Europe is at risk. | ||
| The free world will be at risk, and Bolton and others to do what they wish to do us harm. | ||
| And? | ||
| My message to President Putin, who I've known for a long time, is simple. | ||
| We will not walk away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think so far it's going to count as like 10 squats for Kamala Harris. | |
| So she's getting her exercise in. | ||
| Yeah, she's just standing up, sitting down nonstop. | ||
| Well, she has her serious face on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I will not bow down! | |
| In a literal sense, history is watching. | ||
| History is watching. | ||
| Just like History Watch three years ago on January 6th. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| How far are we into this? | ||
| Two minutes? | ||
| Man, you're here on that darkest of days. | ||
| Just over five minutes in, January 6th. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Darkest of days, dude. | |
| Insurrectionists don't come with selfie sticks and banners. | ||
| It was Entrapment Day. | ||
| the will of the people. Overstirred the will of the people. | ||
| Wait, someone's heckling. | ||
| ...lies about the 2020 election. | ||
| You write overstirred down? | ||
| ...to steal the election posed a great, gravest threat to US democracy... | ||
| There's another one. | ||
| ...since the Civil War. But they failed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was Entrapment Day. That's what it was. | |
| America stood strong and democracy prevailed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He should be giving his speech from Kiev, Ukraine, not from here. | |
| My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth about January 6th. | ||
| I will not do that. | ||
| This is the moment to speak the truth and to bury the lies. | ||
| Here's the simple truth. | ||
| You can't love your country only when you win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, is he talking to Hillary Clinton? | ||
| Is he talking to the Democratic Party, who every single election, as long as I've been alive, they've challenged? | ||
| As I've done ever since being elected to office, I ask all of you, without regard to party, to join together and defend democracy. | ||
| Remember your oath of office of defending against all threats, foreign and domestic. | ||
| Respect free and fair elections. | ||
| Restore trust in our institutions. | ||
| And make clear, political violence has absolutely no place, no place in America, zero place. | ||
| Look at all the Democrats who supported Antifa clapping for this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The burning down of cities all across the country. | |
| It's not hyperbole to suggest history is watching. | ||
| We're watching. | ||
| Your children and grandchildren will read about this day and what we do. | ||
| Not Democrats, they don't have any. | ||
| They've aborted them all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think the white women, the women dressed in white, is the Hamas caucus. | |
| I think it's abortion. | ||
| Isn't it? | ||
| That's what it was last time. | ||
| Murderers then. | ||
| They're on a big Roe v. Wade kick. | ||
| was last time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Murderers then. | |
| She scheduled treatments to have that second child. | ||
| They're on a big Roe v. Wade kick. | ||
| Oh IVF. | ||
| The Alabama Supreme Court shut down IVF treatments across the state. | ||
| Unleashed by a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wade. | |
| She was told her dream would have to wait. | ||
| No, it had nothing to do with Robey Wade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It had nothing to do with Robey Wade. | |
| Unless Congress acts, it could happen again. | ||
| So tonight, let's stand up for families like hers. | ||
| To my friends across the aisle, don't keep this waiting any longer. | ||
| This L.A. | ||
| Supreme Court said embryos that you make with the intention to have children should count as children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seems reasonable. | |
| We should watch a few minutes of an Obama stay in the union after this at some point because I bet it's... | ||
| I don't want to do that. | ||
| No, that doesn't... He's just doing campaign speech. | ||
| defending reproductive freedom. | ||
| There's so much more. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Reproductive freedom, yeah. | |
| He's just doing campaign speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's defending murder. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| My predecessor came to office determined to see Roe v. Wade overturned. | ||
| And he did it. | ||
| He's the reason it was overturned. | ||
| And he brags about it. | ||
| Look at the chaos that has resulted. | ||
| What chaos? | ||
|
unidentified
|
86,000 babies saved. | |
| Joining us tonight is Kate Cox, a wife and mother from Dallas. | ||
| She's become pregnant again and had a fetus of a fatal condition. | ||
| Her doctor told Kate that her own life and her ability to have children... What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
in the field. What children? Clip it. | |
| Clip it, ladies and gentlemen! | ||
| It happens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
act, Kate and her husband had to leave the state to get what she needed. Within six minutes. | |
| What her family got through should have never happened as well, but it's | ||
| happening to too many others. There are state laws banning the freedom to choose, | ||
| criminalizing doctors, forcing survivors of rape and incest to leave their states | ||
| to get the treatment they need. Many of you in this chamber and my predecessor | ||
| are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Say his name! | |
| Say his name! | ||
| My God, what freedom else would you take away? | ||
| Look. | ||
| Do you understand the word, bro? | ||
| It's a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. | ||
| The Supreme Court majority wrote the following, and with all due respect, Justices, women are not without electoral power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So what? | |
| That's not what Roe v. Wade said. | ||
| You're about to realize just how much you've relied on him. | ||
| What did he say? | ||
| You're about to realize what? | ||
| He's muttered. | ||
| He didn't even say anything. | ||
| You're about to realize. | ||
| He's saying that women are going to come out and vote for him because they're mad about Roe v. Wade. | ||
| That's their big push this year. | ||
| That if they can say abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion, that that will save them. | ||
| Those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women. | ||
| But they found out when reproductive freedom was on the ballot, we won in 2022 and 2020, and we'll win again in 2024. | ||
| They didn't win in 2022. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They lost. | |
| It was tied in the Senate, and Republicans won. | ||
| Look, not even the liberal justices are clapping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need to have more babies. | |
| That's what we need to do. | ||
| If you, the American people, Send me a Congress that supports the right to choose. | ||
| I promise you, I'll restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again. | ||
| Lie! | ||
| They've said that every time. | ||
| We will codify Roe, and they never do, because they need the wedge issue. | ||
| Folks, America cannot go back. | ||
| I'm here tonight to show what I believe in the way forward, because I know how far we've come. | ||
| Four years ago next week, before I came to office, the country was hit by the worst pandemic and the worst economic crisis in a century. | ||
| Remember the fear? | ||
| Record losses? | ||
| Remember the spikes in crime and the murder rate raging virus? | ||
| That's actually been debunked, actually. | ||
| It took more than one million American lives. | ||
| The spike in crime from someone in love? | ||
| Yeah, there's no spike in crime. | ||
| The mental health crisis of isolation and loneliness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's why the National Guard is not being deployed in New York. | |
| Yeah, it's all fake news. | ||
| I don't know what the president is saying here. | ||
| The most basic presidential duty that he owes to American people, the duty to care. | ||
| I think that's unforgivable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somebody said liar. | |
| I came to office determined to get us through one of the toughest periods in the nation's history. | ||
| Mike Johnson just shook his head. | ||
| We have. | ||
| It doesn't make new, but news in a thousand cities and towns. | ||
|
unidentified

Mark it down. | |

We leave no one behind. | |

| The vaccine that saved us from COVID The CDC is saying that you can treat the COVID as a flu. | ||
| Did he just say the vaccine developed for COVID is now being used to beat back cancer? | ||
| The MRA technology. | ||
| The imperial economy is on the brink. | ||
| Now our economy is literally the envy of the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For the past 20 years, a record. A record. | |
| Wait, wait, is he talking about 10 million illegal immigrants wanting to come here? | ||
| Dude! | ||
| We all laughed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Printing an insane amount of money for other countries. | ||
| Where do you live, dude? | ||
| A record 16 million Americans are starting small businesses and each one is a literal act of hope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I thought you were going to say an act of terrorism. | |
| Historic job growth and small business growth. | ||
| Black and Hispanics and Asian Americans. | ||
| 800,000 new manufacturing jobs in America and counting. | ||
| Where is it written we can't be the manufacturing capital of the world? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are and we will! | |
| More people have health insurance today than ever before. | ||
| The racial wealth gap is as small as it's been in 20 years. | ||
| Wages keep going up, inflation keeps coming down. | ||
| Inflation has dropped from 9% to 3%, the lowest in the world and tending lower. | ||
| Tending lower? | ||
| I think you should say trending lower. | ||
| That's a slur, that's a slur. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mark it down. | |
| Do I gotta sit here for an hour? | ||
| You won't make it. | ||
| I think we're almost done. | ||
| Did he say exporting jobs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exporting American jobs. | |
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| It says exporting American jobs on the screen. | ||
| So he said the quiet part out loud. | ||
| It said it in the closed caption! | ||
| And we are importing American products. | ||
| Consumer studies show consumer confidence is soaring. | ||
| Buy America has been the law of the land since the 1930s. | ||
| Buy America? | ||
| Past administrations, including my predecessor, including some Democrats as well in the past, failed to buy American. | ||
| Yeah, that was a slur. | ||
| He's only acknowledged three of the 20 guests that were invited to sit with Joe Biden. | ||
| like helping build American roads, bridges and highways will be made with American products | ||
| and built by American workers. | ||
| He's only acknowledged three of the 20 guests that were invited to sit with Joe Biden. | ||

So, all these new American workers just came across the border the other day. | |
| And don't forget that Lehanna Citizens received this. | ||
| The United States is investing more in research and development than ever before. | ||
| During the pandemic, a shortage of semiconductors, chips, that drove up the price of everything from cell phones to | ||
| automobiles. | ||
| And by the way, we invented those chips right here in America. | ||
| We just make them in Taiwan. | ||
| Well, instead of having to import them, private companies are now investing billions of dollars to build new chip factories here in America, creating tens of thousands of jobs. | ||
| Many of those jobs paying $100,000 a year and don't require a college degree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| So is that going to the illegal immigrants? | ||
| My policies have attracted 650 billion dollars in private sector investment. | ||
| I thought he was going to say 650 billion people. | ||
| creating tens of thousands of jobs here in America. | ||
| And thanks to our bipartisan infrastructure law, 46,000 new projects have been announced all across your | ||
| communities. | ||
| And by the way, I noticed some of you who strongly voted against it are there cheering on that money coming in. | ||
|
unidentified

Yeah, they're getting paid off. | |
| I'm with you. | ||

I'm with you. | |

| Look at how happy they make Paul. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||

unidentified

Right there? | |
| Yeah, what was that? | ||
| Secretary of Agriculture. | ||
| He slurred that one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Remember when he was like, only subsidized farm loans for people of color? | |
| No white farmers can have them. | ||
| I'm sorry, darling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Remember when he was like, only subsidized farm loans for people of color? | |
| No white farmers can have them. | ||
| Isn't that racist? | ||
| Hope was fading. | ||
| Then I was elected to office, and we raised the Belvedere repeatedly with auto companies, knowing unions would make all the difference. | ||
| The UAW worked like hell to keep the plant open and get these jobs back, and together we succeeded. | ||
| Instead of auto factories shutting down, auto factories reopening, and a new state-of-the-art battery factory is being built to power those cars there at the same time. | ||
| Sit down, Kamala. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| I guess he's giving us a state of the union. | ||
| I just don't know if it's true. | ||
| Well, and, like, all these jobs are coming back. | ||
| But do you remember how many people lost their jobs because we froze the economy? | ||
| Instead of your town being left behind, your community is moving forward again. | ||
| Because instead of watching auto jobs in the future go overseas, 4,000 union jobs with higher wages are building a future in Belvedere right here in America. | ||
| Oh, is she going to stand up again? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think you can work out. | |
| Just do the cologne hair. | ||
| I was saying, she's got like 20 squats. | ||
| Is UAW President Sean Fain a great friend and a great labor leader? | ||

| Showing once again, Wall Street didn't build America. | ||

| The middle class built the country, and unions built the middle class. | ||

In factories, but they're no longer in the United States. | |
| I saw a documentary called Men Who Built America, and it was about Rockefeller and Rothschild and definitely the big banks. | ||
| Maybe tongue-in-cheek. | ||
| I say to the American people, when America gets knocked down, we get back up. | ||

unidentified

Except for me and the stairs. | |
| We keep going. | ||
| No, he's right. | ||

| Is that the end of his speech? | ||
| He's got like 10 more people in that box to acknowledge. | ||
| He just passed 21 minutes from what I can tell. | ||

Oh, it'd be so amazing if he was like, all right, I'm out! | |
| Well, that's normally how they close. | ||

Four more years. | |

| Over 20. | ||
| Do you know the whole number? | ||
| 25, 27. | ||
| That's more than one per minute. | ||
| I probably missed a couple right there. | ||
| That's why I determined to turn things around so middle class does well. | ||
| When they do well, the poor have a way up and the wealthy still do very well. | ||
| We all do well. | ||
| And there's more to do to make sure you're feeling the benefits of all we're doing. | ||
| Americans pay more for prescription drugs than anywhere in the world. | ||

| It hasn't been tried yet. | ||

unidentified

But we won't build the wall. | |
| With the wall? | ||
| Well, I propose and sign not one of your Republican buddies voted for it. | ||
| We finally beat Big Pharma. | ||
| Instead of paying $400 a month or thereabouts for insulin with diabetes, it only costs $10 to make, they only get paid $35 a month now and still make healthy profit. | ||

And I want to... What to do next? | |
| I want to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for every American who needs it. | ||
| Everyone. | ||
| These are justified. | ||
| They weren't lauded, son. | ||
| For years, people have talked about it, but finally, we got it done and gave Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs, just like the VA is able to do for veterans. | ||
| Oh yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about the VA. | ||
| Yes, that government subsidized healthcare is great. | ||
| I've heard a lot of good things about the VA. | ||
| Bernie's with a mask. | ||
|

|
Does he have COVID or what? | |
| And he wasn't wearing the mask before. | ||
| He was sitting the whole time without it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's old theater, old facade. | |
| C-SPAN was airing this before the speech started. | ||
| Somebody told him to put up a mask. | ||
| Covid is coming back, election year. | ||
| Put the mask on, why not? | ||
| Maybe this person next to him has B.P.L. | ||
| or something. | ||
| Alright, let's get it. | ||
| It's now time to go further and give Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices for 500 different drugs over the next decade. | ||
| We're making a lot of money, guys. | ||
| From heart disease to arthritis? | ||

He's also making a lot of money from the war. | |
| And we'll still be extremely profitable. | ||
| Will not only save lives, it will save taxpayers another $200 billion. | ||
| Starting next year, the same law caps total prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare at $2,000 a year, even for expensive cancer drugs that cost $10,000, $12,000, $15,000. | ||
| I want to cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 a year for everyone. | ||

Across the board, huh? | |
| Folks, I'm going to get in trouble for saying that, but if you want to get in the Air Force | ||
| want me to fly to Toronto, Berlin, Moscow? | ||
| I mean, excuse me. | ||
| Well, even Moscow, probably. | ||
| And bring your prescription with you, and I promise you I'll get it for you for 40% the cost you're paying now. | ||
| Same company, same drug, same place. | ||

It's still a very big deal. | |
| He just told people to go to Moscow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What did he say? | |
| What did he even say right there? | ||
| He said, if you go to Moscow with me, I'll get you a drug for cheaper. | ||
| I know this guy named Putin. | ||
| He'll help us out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I thought Putin was the enemy. | |
| Over 100 million of you can no longer be denied health insurance because of a pre-existing condition. | ||
| But my predecessor and many in this chamber want to take this prescription drug away by repealing the Affordable Care Act. | ||
| I'm not going to let that happen. | ||
| We stopped you 50 times before and we'll stop you again. | ||
| In fact, I'm not only protecting it, I'm expanding it. | ||
| The enacted tax credits of $700 per person per year reduce health care costs for millions of working families. | ||
| That tax credit expires next year. | ||
| I want to make that savings permanent. | ||
| What's the opposite of clapping? | ||
| Can we do something that's like signifying disdain? | ||
| What if we clap backwards? | ||
| My high school used to put up newspapers where they would announce the other team's players. | ||
| Maybe they should do that. | ||
| You could do this. | ||

It's like a vacuum, sort of smacking. Big Dr. Gil Bynum. | |

| If inflation keeps coming down, mortgage rates will come down as well. | ||
| I know the cost of housing is so important. | ||
| He's third cough. | ||
| Inflation keeps coming down, mortgage rates will come down as well. | ||
| And the Fed acknowledges that. | ||
| But I'm not waiting. | ||
| I want to provide an annual tax credit that will give Americans $400 a month for the next two years as mortgage rates come down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Buying boats. | |
| I'm just buying boats. | ||
| To put into their mortgages when they buy their first home or trade up for a little more space. | ||
| I just want to contrast this with the energy that Trump has while speaking. | ||
| I would like to get back to those state of the unions, where the person is like breathing life into the room instead of whatever this is. | ||
| Sucking it out of it. | ||
| There's also eliminating title insurance on federally backed mortgages. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What about homeless veterans? | |
| You can save $1,000 or more as a consequence. | ||
| For millions of renters who are cracking down on big landlords who break antitrust laws. | ||
|
unidentified

He doesn't remember what he's doing about the antitrust law. | |
| We've cut red tape so builders can get federally financing, which is already helping build | ||

He's buying boats over here, guys. | |
| And renovate 2 million affordable homes and bring those rents. | ||
| To remain the strongest economy in the world, we need to have the best education system in the world. | ||
| And I, like I suspect all of you, want to give a child, every child, a good start by providing access to preschool for three and four years old. | ||
| Give me your kids earlier! | ||
|
unidentified
|
So that way I can indoctrinate them with all of my rumors. | |
| And we're doing year-round school so your kids can never escape. | ||
| For every child on earth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Three years old. | |
| Children coming from broken homes where there's no books, no not read-do, no spoken-do very often. | ||
| Start school, kindergarten or first grade, hearing, having heard a million fewer words spoken. | ||
| Well, studies show that children who go to preschool are nearly 50% more likely to finish high school, go on to earn a two and four year degree, no matter what their background is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And now pumping themselves with hormones and mutilating themselves. | |
| All I've heard is kids who go to preschool are more likely to take out a federally backed college loan and be in debt when they start as adults. | ||
| But that sounds good. | ||
| A year and a half ago, the leaders of the business roundtable. | ||
| They were mad that I, they were angry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, there's another one. | |
| Disgusting. | ||
| Why I wanted to spend money on education. | ||
| I pointed out to them as vice president, I met with over eight, I think it was 182 of those folks. | ||
| Don't hold me to the exact number. | ||
| I won't. | ||
| And I asked them what they need most, the CEOs. | ||
| And you've had the same experience on both sides now. | ||
| They say a better educated workforce, right? | ||
| So I looked at them. | ||
| And I say, I come from Delaware. | ||
| DuPont used to be the eighth largest corporation in the world. | ||
| And every new enterprise they bought, they educated the workforce to that enterprise. | ||
| But none of you do that anymore. | ||
| Why are you angry with me providing you the opportunity for the best educated workforce in the world? | ||
| And they all looked at me and said, I think you're right. | ||
| I want to expand high-quality tutoring and summer learning to see that every child learns to read by third grade. | ||
| Third grade? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That has everyone sit up and clap their eyes. | |
| That feels late, no? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that feels very late. | |
| I'm also connecting local businesses and high schools so students get hands-on experience and a path to a good-paying job whether or not they go to college. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I want to make sure that college is more affordable Yeah, it's first grade. | |
| So he's saying send them to companies, but then... He's saying relax the standards. | ||
| Relax the standards, guys. | ||
| Please find a company to take. | ||

It seems a little late, but guys, if I'm from Thailand... They're watching TikTok right now. | |
| All the kids. | ||
| TikTok has captions. | ||
| They can read those, right? | ||
| I was told I couldn't universally just change the way in which we dealt with student loans. | ||
| I fixed two student loan programs that already existed. | ||
| I was told I couldn't be a dictator. | ||
| To reduce the burden of student debt for nearly 4 million Americans, including nurses, firefighters. | ||
| I know there's a public service. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is not up to the government to pay off the debt of other people. | |
| Apparently, Truth Social crashed where Trump is doing his live commentary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How is he? | |
| So Trump is live? | ||
| Trump is doing his live commentary. | ||
| Oh, is he? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| He's educated hundreds of students so they can go to college. | ||
| Now he's able to help after debt forgiveness get his own daughter to college. | ||
| After debt forgiveness. | ||
| After debt forgiveness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Trump is live? | |
| He is, although I heard Truth Social just crashed. | ||
| Ripping it apart, I hope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Definitely not a coincidence. | |
| The economy because folks are now able to buy a home, start a business, start a family. | ||
| Where? | ||
| If they take out federal money, if they take out money from the government, they can do it. | ||
| Trump's real-time tweeting on Truth. | ||
| It would have been more amusing if he were like live video commenting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it would be huge. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| By the way, the first couple years, we cut the deficit. | ||
| Now, let me speak to the question of fundamental fairness for all Americans. | ||
| I've been delivering real results in fiscally responsible ways. | ||
| We've already cut the federal deficit. | ||
| We've already cut the federal deficit over a trillion dollars. | ||
| Oh, that was a bad one. | ||
| I signed a bipartisan deal to cut another trillion dollars in the next decade. | ||
| It's my goal to cut the federal deficit another three trillion by making big corporations very wealthy, finally beginning to pay their fair share. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's my credit. | |
| Do you hear that, Hunter? | ||
| He's coming for your money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, I'm a capitalist. | |
| If you want to make a million or millions of bucks, that's great. | ||
| Just pay your fair share in taxes. | ||
| Define fair share. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is Hunter going to pay his fair share? | |
| A fair tax? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Topping 1%. | |
| That's a slur. | ||
| things that make this country great. Healthcare, education, defense and so much more. But here's | ||
| the deal. The last administration enacted a $2 trillion tax cut, overwhelmingly benefit | ||
| the top in 1% top in 1% and exploded the federal deficit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They added more. | |
| You guys see that guy? | ||
| I'm not going to give up on my life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Under what plan? | ||
| Plans to drive us into economic collapse? | ||
| Seems like the pandemic was good, says Biden. | ||
| $100,000, you'll pay additional penny in federal tax. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Economic collapse. | |
| Nobody not one penny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they haven't yet. | |
| In fact, the child tax credit I passed during the pandemic cut taxes for millions of working | ||
| families. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seems like the pandemic was good, says Biden. | |
| Child poverty? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Restore that child tax credit. | |
| Restore that child, Paxton. | ||
| Cut. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| No child should go hungry in this country. | ||
| The way to get the tax code fair is to make big corporations and the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share. | ||
| Remember in 2020, 55 of the biggest companies in America made $40 billion and paid zero in federal income tax. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| Thanks to the law I wrote when we signed, big companies have to pay a minimum of 15%. | ||
| But that's still less than working people paying federal taxes. | ||
| It's time to raise corporate minimum tax to at least 21%. | ||
| So every big corporation finally begins to pay their fair share. | ||
| Or move their headquarters out of the country. | ||
| That's what they're going to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
China, Mexico. | |
| Just past 7 o'clock. | ||
|
unidentified
|
China, Mexico. | |
| No. | ||
| When it's only supposed to be a million dollars that can be deducted. | ||
| They can pay them 20 million if they want, but deduct a million. | ||
| End it now. | ||
| You know, there are 1,000 billionaires in America. | ||
| You know what the average federal tax is for those billionaires? | ||
| No. | ||
| They're making great sacrifices. | ||
| 8.2%. | ||
| That's far less than the vast majority of Americans pay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No billionaire should pay a lower federal tax rate than a teacher, a sanitation worker, or a nurse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I propose an increase in the number of teachers. | |
| Minimum tax for billionaires of 25%, just 25%. | ||
| Is that just wealth tax? | ||
| You know what that would raise? | ||
| He's not defining it. | ||
| That would raise $500 billion over the next 10 years. | ||
| That's nothing! | ||
| Imagine what that could do for America. | ||
| Imagine a future with affordable child care. | ||
| Millions of families can get the need to go to work to help grow the economy. | ||
| Imagine a future with paid leave, because no one should have to choose between working and taking care of their sick family member. | ||
| Imagine, imagine the future of home care and elder care and people living with disabilities. | ||
| They can stay at their homes and family carers and finally get the pay they deserve. | ||
| Tonight, let's all agree once again to stand up for seniors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Guys, a bunch of companies are going to be leaving the United States based on this. | |
| Economic collapse. | ||
| tries to cut Social Security, Medicare, or raise the retirement age, I will stop you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The retirement age? | |
| That seems a little personal, Joe. | ||
| The working people, the working people who built this country pay more into Social Security | ||
| than millionaires and billionaires do. | ||
| It's not fair. | ||
| We have two ways to go. | ||
| Republicans can cut Social Security and give more tax breaks to the wealthy. | ||
| That's the proposal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a lie. | |
| Oh, no? | ||
| You guys don't want another $2 trillion tax cut? | ||
| I kind of thought that's what your plan was. | ||
| I really like this back and forth, actually. | ||
| Oh, that's good to hear. | ||
| You're not going to cut another two trillion dollars for the super-wealth? | ||
| That's good to hear. | ||
| I'll protect and strengthen Social Security and make the wealthy pay their fair share. | ||
| Too many corporations raise prices to pad their profits, charging more and more for less and less. | ||
| That's why we're cracking down on corporations that engage in price gouging and deceptive pricing from food to healthcare to housing. | ||
| In fact, the snack companies think you won't notice if they change the size of the bag and put a hell of a lot fewer... Is he going to mention Latham Riley? | ||
| ...put fewer chips in it. | ||
| Why are we zooming in on this guy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I'm not joking. | |
| It's called shrink-placing. | ||
| Pass Bobby Casey's bill and stop this. | ||
| He just learned about shrink-placing, guys. | ||
| He just learned about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's probably Bobby Casey. | |
| So CNN, C-SPAN has a copy of this speech, so like, cut to him. | ||
| They're probably also that commercial on Snickers bars. | ||
| You get charged the same amount, and you got about, I don't know, 10% fewer Snickers in it. | ||
| I'm also getting rid of junk fees. | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
| Oh, that's a slur. | ||
| This is his final State of the Union during this term, so I feel like he can just say all kinds of stuff, make all kinds of promises, and be like, this is why you need me to stay. | ||
| late fees from $32 to $8. | ||
| This is his final State of the Union during this term. | ||
| So I feel like he can just say all kinds of stuff, make all kinds of promises, and be | ||
| like, this is why you need me to stay. | ||
| To charge what it costs them to instigate the collection. | ||
| And that's more a hell of a lot like $8 and $30 some dollars. | ||
| I don't know what that means. | ||
| They don't like it. | ||
| Credit card companies don't like it. | ||
| But I'm saving American families $20 billion a year with all the junk fees I'm eliminating. | ||
| Folks at home, that's why the banks are so mad. | ||
| It's $20 billion in profit. | ||
| I'm not stopping there. | ||
| My administration has proposed rules to make cable, travel, utilities, and online ticket sellers tell you the total price up front, so there are no surprises. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is so useless. | |
| It matters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so does this. | |
| We're wasting time and money on this. | ||
| In November, my team began serious negotiations with a bipartisan group of senators. | ||
| The result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of border security reforms we've ever seen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a lie. | |
| What a lie, dude. | ||
| That was just a lie counter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You should take a look at New York, Chicago. | |
| You don't like that bill, huh? | ||
| That conservatives got together and said it was a good bill? | ||
| No, they didn't. | ||
| I'll be darned. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| That bipartisan bill could hire 1,500 more security agents and officers, 100 more immigration judges to help tackle the backload of two million cases, 4,300 more asylum officers and new policies so they can resolve cases in six months instead of six years now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And 20 million illegal immigrants. | |
| If you were serious, you would send troops to the border. | ||

or have a mass deportation. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| All right, dude. | ||
| One hundred more high-tech drug detection machines to significantly increase the ability to screen | ||
| and stop vehicles smuggling fentanyl into America. | ||
| smuggling fentanyl into America. | ||
| How about you don't let any vehicle into the border? | ||
| Right, because they bring it through the legal loopholes. | ||
| You're right, Joe. | ||
| They come through the checkpoints. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're right, Joe. | |
| You also get me and any new president, new emergency authority to temporarily shut down the border. | ||
| But you wouldn't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Border is wide open. | |
| I went there twice. | ||
| The Federal Chamber of Commerce isn't... Yeah, yeah. | ||
| You're saying low. | ||
| Look at the facts. | ||
| I know... Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's not looking at the facts. | |
| I know you know how to read. | ||
| These are lies. | ||
| I believe that given the opportunity for a majority in the House and Senate, we'd endorse the bill as well. | ||
| A majority right now. | ||
| But unfortunately, politics has derailed this bill so far. | ||
| I'm told my predecessor called members of Congress in the Senate to demand they block the bill. | ||
| It makes him seem more cowardly, the fact that he's not saying Trump's name. | ||
| To me, at least. | ||
| He's a coward. | ||
| It's not about me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's about us. | |
| I'd be a winner, not really. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Wow, that was the best part of the night. | ||
| We've got to watch that. | ||
| Look at Kamala's face. | ||
| Lincoln, Lincoln Riley. | ||
| That is the clip of the night. | ||
| An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| That's right. | ||
| Lincoln Riley? | ||
| Lincoln? | ||
| But how many of the thousands of people being killed by illegals? | ||
| To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to you having lost children myself. | ||
| I understand. | ||
| But look, if we change the dynamic at the border, People pay these smugglers $8,000 to get across the border. | ||
| Because they know if they get by, if they get by and let into the country, it's six to eight years before they have a hearing. | ||
| And it's worth taking the chance of the $8,000. | ||
| But, but, if it's only six months, six weeks, the idea is it's highly unlikely that people will pay that money and come all that way knowing that they'll be able to be kicked out quickly. | ||
| Or just don't let them in. | ||
| Or just don't let them in! | ||
| What are we talking about? | ||
| I respectfully seek to suggest my Republican friends over to the American people. | ||
| Get this bill done. | ||
| We need to act now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Start mass deportations. | |
| It's literally your fault. | ||
| It's literally your fault. | ||
| If they knew they would not get an appointment, if they could not come across border, if they | ||
| would not get to wait in America, they wouldn't come, they wouldn't risk paying several thousand | ||
| dollars. | ||
| They don't respect the current balance. | ||
| What he's not telling you is that six months to adjudicate could be approvals, not rejections. | ||
| Join me in telling the Congress to pass it. | ||
| We can do it together. | ||
| He's saying he wants to legalize illegal border crossings. | ||
| The bill that said, well, what was it, several thousand immigrants could come across a day. | ||
| And infant children. | ||
| 17 year olds. | ||
| Or anyone who claims to be under 17. | ||
| Separate families. | ||
| Separate families. | ||
| I will not ban people because of their faith. | ||
| Unlike my predecessor on my first day in office, I introduced a comprehensive bill to fix our immigration system. | ||
| There you go. | ||

| A new moment in history. | ||
| moment in history happened 58, 59 years ago today in Selma, Alabama. Hundreds of | ||

| We're also making history by confronting the climate crisis, not denying it. | ||
| I don't think any of you think there's no longer a climate crisis. | ||
| At least I hope you don't. | ||
| I'm taking the most significant action ever on climate in the history of the world. | ||
| I'm cutting our carbon emissions by 1.3. | ||

| In pattern after the Peace Corps and America Corps, I launched the Climate Corps to put 20,000 young people to work in the forefront of our clean energy future. | ||
| I'll triple that number in a decade. | ||
| This is very gummy. | ||
| To state the obvious, all Americans deserve the freedom to be safe. | ||

Soppest. | |
| To help cities invest in more community police officers, more mental health workers, more community violence than violence. | ||
| Get communities the tool to crack down on gun crime, retail crime, and carjacking. | ||
| Keep building trust as they've been doing by taking executive action | ||
| on police reform and calling for it to be the law. | ||

unidentified
|
Mental health workers to cut down on retail. | |
| Directing my cabinet to review the federal classification of marijuana and expunging thousands of convictions for the mere possession because no one should be jailed for simply using or having it on their record. | ||
| And that's a lie because it's basically no one. | ||

Look at the DA that sent all those people to jail for possession of marijuana. | |

| Very soon after that happened, Jill and I went to Uvalde for a couple days. | ||

Thank you. | |
| The constant refrain, and I was there for hours meeting with every family. | ||
| They said, do something. | ||
| Do something! | ||
| Well, I did do something by establishing the first ever Office of Gun Violence Prevention in the White House, that the Vice President is leading the charge. | ||
| Help me, Daddy! | ||

| Oh, Ian's had enough. | ||

He just stormed out. | |

He's going. | |

| My predecessor told the NRA, he's proud he did nothing on guns when he was president. | ||
| He banned bump stocks. | ||

That's not true. | |
| After another shooting in Iowa recently, he said, when asked what to do about it, he said, just get over it. | ||
| I'm proud we beat the NRA when I signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years because of this Congress. | ||

It's a particularly partisan speech, don't you think? | |
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| That sounds like a lie. | ||
| the second amendment for 12 years. None of this violates the second amendment. | ||
| That sounds like a lie. | ||
| Or vilifies responsible gun owners. | ||

|
Of course it does, dude. | |
| You know, as we manage challenges at home, we're also managing crises abroad, including in the Middle | ||
| East. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shouldn't we care about it? | |
| We are managing crises at home. | ||
| We're managing, he says. | ||
| And all the last five months have been gut-wrenching for so many people, for the Israeli people, for the Palestinian people, and so many here in America. | ||
| Does that count as saying Israel and Palestine? | ||
| This crisis began on October 7th with a massacre by a terrorist group called Hamas, as you all know. | ||
| 1,200 innocent people, women and girls, men and boys, slaughtered after enduring sexual violence. | ||
| The deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. | ||
| And 250 hostages taken. | ||
| Here in this chamber tonight are families whose loved ones are still being held by Hamas. | ||
| I pledge to all the families that we will not rest until we bring every one of your loved ones home. | ||
| We will also work around the clock to bring home Evan and Paul, Americans being unjustly detained by the Russians. | ||
| And others around the world. | ||
| No. | ||
| Israel has the right to go after Hamas. | ||
| Hamas ended this conflict by releasing hostages, laying down arms, could end it by releasing the hostages, laying down arms, and surrendering those responsible. | ||
| But Israel has a... Excuse me, Israel has... Is that three or four? | ||
| Probably seven, that was three in a row. | ||
| Hamas hides and operates among the civilian population like cowards, under hospitals, daycare centers, and all the like. | ||
| Israel also has a fundamental responsibility, though, to protect innocent civilians in Gaza. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What about the United States citizens? | |
| This war has taken a greater toll on innocent civilians than all previous wars in Gaza combined. | ||
| More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed. | ||
| most of whom are not Hamas. | ||
| Thousands and thousands of innocents, women and children, girls and boys, also orphaned. | ||
| Nearly 2 million more Palestinians under bombardment or displacement. | ||
| Homes destroyed, neighbors in rubble, cities in ruin, families without food, water, medicine. | ||
| That's another one. | ||
| It's heartbreaking. | ||
| I've been working nonstop to establish an immediate ceasefire that would last for six weeks | ||
| to get all the prisoners released, all the hostages released. | ||
| To get the hostages home and ease the intolerable and humanitarian crisis and build toward an enduring, | ||
| a more, something more enduring. | ||
| United States, I'm a leading international humanitarian assistant to Gaza. | ||
| Tonight, I'm directing the U.S. | ||
| military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the coast of Gaza that can receive large shipments carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters. | ||
| No U.S. | ||
| boots will be on the ground. | ||
| A temporary pier will enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance. | ||
| Opening a temporary pier, but we're not sending any troops, says Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sounds colonial to me. | |
| No boats will be on the ground because they'll be on the boats. | ||
| That's very, very colonizing. | ||
| Israel must do its part. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Under Trump, there were no wars. | |
| Israel must allow more aid into Gaza and ensure humanitarian workers aren't caught in the crossfire. | ||
| There are no boots on the ground. | ||
| They'll be wearing flip-flops. | ||
| For the leadership of Israel, I say this. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Did you get that one? | ||
| Humanitarian assistance cannot be a secondary consideration or a bargaining chip. | ||
| Protecting and saving innocent lives has to be a priority. | ||
| As we look to the future, the only real solution to the situation is a two-state solution over time. | ||
| That's one of those compromises that make no one happy. | ||
| Joe, I know your friends. They are not going to like that statement. | ||
| As a lifelong supporter of Israel, my entire career, no one has a stronger record with Israel | ||
| than I do. I challenge any... | ||
| A wreck-wearer? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I'm the only American president to visit Israel in wartime. | ||
| Oh, there's another one. | ||
| But there is no other path that guarantees Israel's security and democracy. | ||
| There is no other path that guarantees a Palestinian can live in peace and dignity. | ||
| There is no other path that guarantees peace between Israel and all of its neighbors, including Saudi Arabia, with whom I'm talking. | ||
| Creating stability in the Middle East also means containing the threat posed by Iran. | ||
| That's why I built a coalition of more than a dozen countries to defend international shipping and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. | ||
| I've ordered strikes to degrade the Houthi capability and defend U.S. | ||
| forces in the region. | ||
| As Commander-in-Chief, I will not hesitate to direct further... But no boots on the ground. | ||

| Well, he made it. | ||
| That's actually what Joe is saying, too, in his mind. | ||
| Well, he made it. | ||
| That's actually what Joe is saying too, in his mind. | ||
| He just wants to go to sleep. | ||
| America's falling behind. | ||
| They've got it backwards. | ||
| I've been saying it for over four years, even when I wasn't president. | ||
| America's rising. | ||
| We have the best economy in the world. | ||
| And since I've come to office, our GTP is up, our trade deficit is down. | ||
| To the lowest point in over a decade. | ||

No. | |
| I revitalize our partnership alliance in the Pacific. | ||
| India, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Pacific Islands. | ||
| I don't believe you. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| that the most advanced American technologies can't be used in China, not allowing to trade them there. | ||
| Frankly, I've had a lot of tough talk on China. | ||
| It never occurred to my predecessor to do any of that. | ||
| No, that's not true either. | ||
| I want competition with China, not conflict. | ||
| And we're in a stronger position to win the conflict of the 21st century against China | ||
| than anyone else for that matter, than any time as well. | ||
| What? | ||
| Share at home. | ||
| I've signed over 400 bipartisan bills. | ||

We've got over 30,000 military-age men from China in the United States. | |

He doesn't care about veterans. One of the most significant laws ever. | |
| Millions of veterans exposed to toxins, who now are battling more than 100 different cancers. | ||
| Many of them don't come home, but we owe them and their families support. | ||
| We owe it to ourselves to keep supporting our new health research agency called ARPA-H. | ||

Maybe we end this war, but that won't happen. | |

I did a good job, guys. | |
| I know you don't want to hear any more, Lindsay, but I got to say a few more things. | ||
| Do you have to? | ||
| I know it may not look like it, but I've been around a while. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He doesn't talk about the Marines that were killing Afghanistan. | |
| When you get to be my age, certain things become clearer than ever. | ||
| Clearer. | ||
| I know the American story. | ||
| Again and again I've seen the contest between competing forces in the battle for the soul of our nation. | ||
| Between those who want to pull America back to the past and those who want to move America into the future. | ||
| My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy. | ||
| A future based on core values that have defined America. | ||
| Honesty. | ||
| Decency. | ||
| Dignity. | ||
| Equality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Murder. | |
| To respect everyone. | ||
| To give everyone a fair shot. | ||
| To give hate no safe harbor. | ||
| Now other people my age see it differently. | ||
| The American story of resentment, revenge, and retribution. | ||
| That's not me. | ||
| I was born in mid-World War II, when America stood for the freedom of the world. | ||
| I grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Claremont, Delaware, among working-class people who built this country. | ||
| I watched in horror as two of my heroes, like many of you did, Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy, were assassinated. | ||
| And their legacies inspired me to pursue a career in service. | ||
| Is that like three? | ||
| That was at least three. | ||
| I became a public defender because my city of Wilmington was the only city in America occupied by the National Guard after Dr. King was assassinated because of the riots. | ||
| I became a county councilman almost by accident. | ||
| I got elected to the United States Senate when I had no intention of running at age 29. | ||
| Then vice president of our first black elected to the Senate now president to the first women vice president | ||
|
unidentified
|
first women vice president Does he know what a woman is? | |
| His multiple personalities first women First woman vice you look at her. He's looking at her | ||
| Women over there he got bring himself to do it I've been told I was too young | ||
| By the way, they can let me on ascended elevators for votes sometimes. | ||
| Not a joke. | ||
| I've been told I'm too old. | ||
| He brought up his age. | ||
| That's a big win. | ||
| Whether young or old, I've always known what endures. | ||
| I've known our North Star. | ||
| The very idea of America is that we're all created equal. | ||
| It deserves to be treated equally throughout our lives. | ||
| We've never fully lived up to that idea. | ||
| But we've never walked away from it either. | ||
| And I won't walk away from it now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You should. | |
| I'm optimistic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, you're not, Steve. | |
| Why does she talk like that? | ||
| I really am. | ||
| I'm optimistic, Nancy. | ||
| Isn't how old we are, it's how old are our ideas. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi from the stock market. | ||
| He loves her. | ||
| And if Jill wasn't around, she would be the one. | ||

unidentified
|
Four more years of torturing my generation. | |
| Thanks, Nancy. | ||
| 65 minutes. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| Isn't how old we are, it's how old are our ideas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck you, Nancy. | |
| What? | ||
| Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are the oldest of ideas. | ||
| But you can't lead America with ancient ideas. | ||
| It'll only take us back. | ||
| You lead America, the land of possibilities. | ||
| You need a vision for the future and what can and should be done. | ||
| A combination of ideas like our, I don't know, constitution? | ||
| Tonight you've heard mine. | ||
| I see a future where, defending democracy, you don't diminish it. | ||
| I see a future where we restore the right to choose and protect our freedoms, not take them away. | ||
| Selective freedoms? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Interesting. | |
| interesting. I see a future where the middle class finally has a fair shot and the wealthy | ||
| have to pay their fair share in taxes. I see a future where we save the planet from the | ||
| climate crisis and our country from gun violence. | ||
| I see a country for all Americans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I will always be president for all Americans. | |
| Because I believe in America. | ||
| I see a country for all Americans. | ||
| And I will always be president for all Americans. | ||
| Because I believe in America. | ||
| I believe in you, the American people. | ||
| You're the reason we've never been more optimistic about our future than I am now. | ||
| So let's build the future together. | ||
| Let's remember who we are. | ||
| We are the United States of America! | ||
| And there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we act together. | ||
| God bless you all, and may God protect our troops. | ||
| Thank you, thank you, thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So he mentioned the troops at the end. | |
| So what's the total counter at? | ||
| Over 100, 110, 113. | ||
| 113 in 67 minutes. | ||

unidentified
|
It kind of depends what you want to count. | |
| I just learned that Akira Toriyama passed away, which is sad news for anyone that cares. | ||
| That's actual news, I feel like. | ||
| Akira Toriyama is the guy that wrote Dragon Ball Z. So rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And I didn't even mention it. | ||
| That's so rude of him. | ||
| Couple things. | ||
| I thought that the word fair was overused. | ||
| They say free and fair elections and pay your fair share. | ||
| This word fair is becoming abused. | ||
| Also, the $400 a month to all people that he wants to pay. | ||
| Basic income. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Communism. | |
| No, that was a tax credit for families. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's how you buy boats. | |
| Houses. | ||
| He was saying it's a tax credit for people, for families. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But how are they going to buy a house when interest rates are at 7-8%? | |
| Yeah, I like the child tax credit stuff, though. | ||
| I think we should be like, if you have a kid, it should be if you have at least three kids, you pay no income tax. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree. | |
| We need to have more babies. | ||
| Because they do that in Hungary, I think. | ||
| Is it Hungary? | ||
| Hungary does it. | ||
| There's a couple of Eastern European countries that have similar things. | ||
| I like the idea of incentivizing families. | ||
| I just think a lot of stuff he said is like, oh, I'm going to get rid of this. | ||
| And it's like, you're doing that through federal subsidization. | ||
| Like, fundamentally, on the surface, it sounds good. | ||
| But fundamentally, the way you go about getting rid of debt Is not the way I would want it. | ||
| I don't want more government intervention. | ||
| I don't believe in federal government subsidies to cancel out loans to the federal government already issued. | ||
| Like, that's how forgiving college loans works right now. | ||
| Let's just summarize it with he lied about what Trump claims to have done, what Trump wants to do. | ||
| He took Trump out of context, but it's politics. | ||
| He's using this as an opportunity for a campaign speech. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| And I just I'm so sick of all of this. | ||
| Like, I get it. | ||
| The Republicans aren't going to clap and the Democrats are going to stand up every five seconds. | ||
| Biden's going to lie about what his side is doing and has done. | ||
| He's talking about how good things are. | ||
| And we have these videos of people screaming and begging because they can't afford to eat. | ||
| Bernie took his mask off. | ||
| So he had his mask off before the show. | ||
| He put it on during the show. | ||
| These people are full of it. | ||
| Look, Bernie's mask is off right there. | ||
| There's Bernie right there with no mask on. | ||
| That is such a crazy photo op they got. | ||
| All right, well look. | ||
| That is weird. | ||
| I'm gonna keep it blunt, keep it simple. | ||
| I was under the weather today, and I want to make sure I'm able to work tomorrow. | ||
| So we'll just wind things down now. | ||
| Become a member at TimCast.com. | ||
| We're not gonna have a members-only show tonight, but we will be back tomorrow on the Culture War podcast. | ||
| We're going to be hanging out at 10am on Tenet Media. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| Because we're going to be talking inside baseball with D.C. | ||
| Hill staffers. | ||
| Former staffers. | ||
| Three people who worked on the Hill. | ||
| And I'm going to ask them about the orgies. | ||
| And that's really what I want to know about. | ||
| And I'm willing to bet they're going to be like, yes. | ||
| Like, Madison Cawthorn is not wrong. | ||
| Well, like, that video came out. | ||
| So it's... | ||
|
unidentified
|
But then they investigated and said nothing bad had happened, so don't worry. | |
| So we'll wind things up, wrap things up there. | ||
| You can follow me personally at TimCast. | ||
| Follow me on Instagram. | ||
| We've got a new challenge. | ||
| There's a $10,000 challenge that's up. | ||
| So the new Freedomistan skate park is just about complete. | ||
| And we have an 11-foot vert wall with a 5-foot transition, and it's probably stupid of me to do, but there is a preliminary offer of a $10,000 prize to drop in from the roof of the- from the top floor of the building into the 5-foot transition. | ||
| I don't believe it's physically possible. | ||
| There will be qualifiers before you're allowed to try it. | ||
| So there's going to be a threshold before you are allowed to even make an attempt. | ||
| And I don't think it's physically possible. | ||
| So I don't think anyone will ever win that money. | ||
| But I figured, I don't know, $10,000 is a safe bet because no one's going to be able to do it. | ||
| And we'll see. | ||
| But that's about my Instagram. | ||
| You can see the image if you want to take a look at what I'm talking about. | ||
| And you're going to be like, yeah, it's not possible. | ||
| So maybe it's all for nothing. | ||
| But we'll figure out more challenges. | ||
| And that's going to be a big component of what we're doing over at Boonie's HQ on Instagram. | ||
| The new skatepark will be done this Saturday on my birthday, and we're going to have an opening session to check it out. | ||
| And then what we're going to do is we're going to set, we're going to create challenges, so follow at boonieshq, that's B-O-O-N-I-E-S-H-Q, and at timcastirl everywhere else. | ||

Of course. | |
| Thank you for having me, Tim. | ||
| President Trump, clearly after this, is the only hope for Western civilization. | ||
| This guy is just spewing lies. | ||
| He's going to drive us into deeper destruction, into more wars. | ||
| And it is up to the American people to make a decision. | ||
| Do you want to support wars? | ||
| Do you want to be pro-America or anti-America? | ||
| We have illegal immigrants over 20 million. | ||
