WTW68: MSG Trump Rally Part 3 OH MY the Hits Keep Coming
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
What's so scary about the woke mob, how often you just don't see them coming.
Anywhere you see diversity, equity, and inclusion, you see Marxism and you see woke principles being pushed.
Wokeness is a virus more dangerous than any pandemic hands down.
The woke monster is here and it's coming for everything, everything, everything, everything, everything.
Instead of go-go boots, the seductress green M&M will now wear sneakers.
Hello and welcome to Where There's Woke.
This is episode, if I, let's see, let me check with Arlo, 68?
68.
68.
I am Thomas, that over there is Lydia.
We are now both inpatient at a mental health facility for what we've gone through.
Both good and bad, highs and lows.
Yeah, I mean my closet's already padded, so.
It's not just for acoustics, everyone.
It's for the crap we put Lydia through.
Yes, thank you.
And also me.
But not in this case.
This was all you.
This was all me.
So what fresh hell are we looking at today?
Oh, we have a number of folks that we're going to get through.
We're going to kick it off with Tulsi Gabbard.
Oh, God.
But, you know, we're going to get into some crazier territory, and I don't want to give too much away, though I kind of teased a little bit in the last episode.
But there's a lot of folks that we need to talk about before we get to the man himself, Donald Trump, which will probably be in the next episode.
We'll see.
And here's the thing.
By now, you've heard the greatest thing to ever happen on podcasting, which is David Rem calling in.
Calling in.
Can you believe it?
I bring it up because I think it's really good we're doing this because I didn't see that David Rem clip anywhere.
I'm not saying it's nowhere.
Don't get me wrong.
Everything's everywhere.
Someone's doing something.
But I didn't see it.
And so, like, I think this rally was so fantastic.
It's been so fucking long that only Lydia and a few other poor lost souls managed to get through it.
And I sent that clip to Eli and I said, you have to watch this.
He's a busy guy.
I don't do that often.
I pick my moments.
Yeah, of course.
If he was just any normal friend, you send him whatever and you just expect they're going to watch it because they're a friend.
Yeah.
And then they don't.
But with Eli, I'm like, I pick my moments.
I'm not going to throw a bunch of stuff.
Eli Bosnick's a busy guy.
He's the funniest guy in podcasting.
He's got a lot to do.
I saw that fucking David Rem thing and I was like, you have to see this.
And I'm so glad I did because it was every bit as good as I thought it was.
And it was definitely Eli doing a bit.
It was amazing.
And so the point is, there's so much stuff in here that hasn't gotten covered because there's too much to cover.
There's too much.
Not just for us, for the whole media.
And so I'm glad we're really digging in.
And so after this break, which you can avoid at patreon.com slash where there's woke, and you can fund Lydia's mental health bills.
I need more foam in here.
So.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You have foam.
No, that doesn't work.
Where's Heath?
Yeah.
And that's fair.
I deserve it.
Yeah.
I think he would have let.
FOMO? No?
Okay.
Anyway, patreon.com slash wheretheswoke.
Avoid the shitty ads and help support the show.
Thank you so much to those who do.
And after this, we'll get to some horrible and possibly hilariously terrible people.
Let's do it.
All right.
Tulsi Gabbard followed Vivek.
Tulsi Gabbard.
I mean, I know none of us are shocked anymore.
Well, for one, I called this a long time ago.
I'm sure a lot of people did.
But, like, she's just been a Republican for a while.
But it also, it still is eerie and makes no sense to me.
She's the one that Hillary said was a Russian asset, I think, right?
Yeah.
And, you know, like, with all that's happened and with finding out that a lot of those right-wing media people were Russian assets, maybe she's a fucking Russian asset.
Like, I don't actually know.
It doesn't make any sense.
I mean...
To see her speaking at this Trump fucking Nazi rally, it still is a little shocking, not going to lie.
It's a little shocking.
Yeah.
And, you know, because of her experience in the military, she talks about how voting for the GOP is a vote for peace and not war.
So 243-37.
Who pulled America out of Afghanistan?
Was it Trump or was it Biden?
So the whole thing is they say, like, yes, Biden did it, but it was a disaster.
Yeah, he did it badly.
Right, exactly.
And if Trump did it, it wouldn't have been a disaster.
But weird that he didn't do it.
Yeah.
He could have just done it.
So this choice that we have before us as Americans is critical.
It's important to us.
It's important to those of us who serve, who have volunteered to put our lives on the line for the safety, security, and freedom of our country and our people.
And it's critical to all of us.
Here is the choice that we have.
A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, and it's a vote for war, more war, likely World War III and nuclear war.
A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a man who wants to end wars, not start them.
And who has demonstrated already that he has the courage and strength to stand up and fight for peace.
A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for open borders, where known violent criminals and Islamist terrorists are streaming across our borders, placing us at risk.
A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for secure voters and safe communities and a confidence that he will seek out those who seek to do us harm and get them out.
She's not wrong that Trump is anti-war.
I don't think Trump...
You know, I think we thought this in 2016, but I don't think there's that much of a danger of him getting us into war.
But, I mean, there also is a certain percentage of just which way the fucking wind blows.
Like, if there's...
The minute it's convenient for him...
To do it, he would.
But I don't think he naturally wants to.
He's isolationist.
He doesn't want to do that.
But where's this idea that, like, Kamala is this warmonger?
I don't know.
What could you even claim?
I mean, I guess the closest thing would be, like, she supports...
Zelensky in Ukraine.
And so, therefore, it's going to be a—but, like, that's such a weak argument.
Who thinks she's—so because Dick Cheney endorsed her?
Yeah, because Dick Cheney endorsed her, and Dick Cheney can be tied to the war in Iraq.
Yeah, I mean, that part's fine.
Yeah, so now A plus B, B plus—I don't know.
That's amazing, yeah.
Is that property— That's amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah, transitive property.
But yeah, I don't think that that's, yeah, that's a weak argument.
That's really funny.
It is.
That's one I hadn't heard before.
I didn't know they were doing that.
Like trying to make her out to be, trying to make Kamala out to be the War Mocker candidate is just so stupid.
Yep.
All right.
And now we get to Mr.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Oh, what?
I thought he was on the left.
I thought he was just a better, real Democrat.
He was just weird.
Why is he here?
That doesn't make sense.
His whole thing was insane, honestly.
I was like, we could just listen to the whole thing.
We can't.
Like, that's going to take way too long.
It's like seven minutes long.
But it's the whole thing is...
Yeah.
It's nuts.
I don't know.
We can start at 249.02 and see how long you want to go.
Okay.
Okay.
Don't tempt me.
yeah thank you A lot of people ask me why I left the Democratic Party.
No, no one does.
And I say, I don't leave the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party left me.
Yeah, good.
It's not the party anymore of Martin Luther King, of Robert Kennedy, of John Kennedy.
That was the party of peace.
It was the party of constitutional rights, of civil rights, of freedom of speech.
It was the party that wanted to protect and nurture the middle class.
It was the party that stood up to censorship, to surveillance, that stood up to the CIA, the military complex, military industrial complex.
Elon's like, shut up, man.
It's here.
Those are my contracts on the line.
And it was the party that wanted to protect public health.
Oh, wait.
You know what?
And women's sports.
We did.
Like, the party that wanted to protect public health by issuing COVID mandates and creating a vaccine faster than anybody ever wanted to, and you didn't want to protect public health because you thought the vaccine was evil.
Well, to be fair, under Trump, the vaccine was created.
Under Trump.
Yeah, that's fine.
That's fine.
But then all...
Started and developed?
I can't remember.
Yeah.
My uncle...
Ted Kennedy wrote Title IX, which protected women's sports in college.
Republicans cheering for Ted Kennedy.
What a world.
What a world we live in.
Do you remember when we did our Title IX episode and the focus was Title IX? What got all the headlines was regarding women, athletics, and college.
Like that needing to be fair and equitable.
Scholarship opportunities, access to facilities, etc.
Like when it was originally written?
Yeah, but the other part of Title IX... That I think a lot of the people in this room thinks has gone too far, I'm pretty sure they would say this, is the protection of women or students, just students in general, honestly, from sexual assault on college campus.
Because that's an impact to equal education as well.
And that is a key part of Title IX. And I just thought it was so funny.
They're like glomming on to the athletics pieces of it.
Every single thing anyone on this stage says is an argument of convenience.
It's like...
I know that happens sometimes in politics, but it's 80% of this.
It's all argument of convenience.
Whatever is convenient to try to paint the other side as hypocritical or, oh, do you see?
Ted Kennedy was the fan.
They don't keep track of it.
They don't care.
It doesn't matter.
In the moment, it sounds like an own of Democrats.
So great.
Awesome.
The party that believed in voting rights and fought for the right of every American to vote for the person of their choice.
Today's Democratic Party is the party of war.
It's the party of the CIA. You had Kamala Harris giving a speech at the Democratic Convention that was written by neocons, that was belligerent, ignatious, that talked about The domination of the world by the United States through our weapons of war.
What?
It's the party today that wants to divide Americans.
I watched that speech.
It's the party that is dismantling women's sports by letting men play women's sports.
It's just all about women's sports.
Yeah.
Where is that happening?
It's the party of Wall Street.
It's the party of Bill Gates, who just gave $50 million to Congress.
Says a rich Kennedy.
Interesting.
It's the party.
And the Harris campaign is very proud that it received the endorsement of 50 former CIA agents and officers.
Who are these people booing law enforcement?
And of Dick Cheney.
These are the people that gave us the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy catastrophe that's ever happened to this country.
These are the people that gave us the Patriot Act and launched the surveillance state.
These are the people that are trying to undermine voting rights in this country.
What?
By weaponizing the federal agencies against political candidates, including me and Donald Trump and all other political candidates that can't win an election.
And instead of bringing in a candidate who wins the primaries, abolish the primaries, and then pick two candidates, anoint them without receiving votes.
We don't even know how Kamala Harris received the nomination.
Yeah, we do.
And this is the party of Wall Street, of big banks.
You're just describing the Republican Party for almost all of that.
Yes, I know.
That's a pretty cool thing because like, okay, I do think that the Republican Party has distanced from the Iraq War.
And it's one thing to be like, that's not us anymore.
It's another thing to be like, well, that's not us anymore, so it must be the other people.
Yeah, they're the ones that did it.
It must be the people who were against it back then, or at least some of them were against it.
Some of them, yeah.
Of the people who were against it, they were pretty much all Democrats.
That's a weird thing to do.
Despite who the president at the time was and everything.
Yeah, but once again, the way he's doing it is, well, endorsed by Dick Cheney.
So therefore, it's like, what are you talking about, man?
So stupid.
You gotta hear him list all the bigs.
Big data, big tech, of the military contractors, and the parties of big pharma, big egg, big food.
And big chemicals.
Does he realize these are all the people that are giving all the money to Trump's campaign?
Like, these are people who benefit.
All the bigs are the people who benefit from Republicans being in office because then you deregulate everything.
I don't—this is just—it's remarkable to me that he ended up going—I mean, it's not that surprising, I guess.
He's just crazy.
And like you said, everything he's describing is the GOP, is the Republican Party platform at this point in time, is describing all of their donors.
He went off about Bill Gates donating $50 million to the Harris campaign.
His PAC, while he was still in the race, was kept afloat by one man, Timothy Mellon, who donated— We're good to go.
He obviously comes from a lot of money, a well-to-do family.
I think his grandfather was like the secretary of the treasury or something at one point in time.
Anyway, he grew up in a mansion in Virginia, but he went to school in Massachusetts.
So anytime he had to go back to school, he had a private plane that just like took him from Virginia to Massachusetts.
Wow.
A true man of the people, this guy.
Yeah.
In a book that he wrote, he wrote that black voters were awarded freebies in exchange for delivering votes.
He claimed that the largesse is funded by the hardworking folks who are too honest or too proud to allow themselves to sink into this morass.
He said that in exchange for that, for kind of succumbing to this, I think he said it was like slavery redux, He said that Black Americans were becoming more belligerent and slaves of a new master, Uncle Sam.
Yeah, this is the guy who funded RFK's campaign.
The next person who donated the most to RFK's campaign was the person that he selected for VP. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, Shanahan.
Oh, man.
All right.
We can call it there for RFK Jr.
Oh, really?
Okay.
I think so.
It is funny that like what he decides to do is say, I've left the Democratic Party.
Here's who I hate.
It's a bunch of stuff that is all just describes the Republican Party, but I'm going to say it's the Democratic Party.
Yeah, the people in this room.
It's kind of weird.
Yeah.
And then they're like, yeah!
It's like, what?
But I think that dynamic is going to be really interesting when it comes to the big pharma thing, because you're right.
I think it goes to show that as much as a lot of right-wing bullshit ultimately is about billionaires protecting their interests, there's also a part of it that is genuine insanity.
There's conspiratorial thinking, there's stuff that they try to use that billionaires try to harness, but you can't always harness it, and you can't predict...
of conspiracy theories.
And actually, there is an uncomfortable tension, I imagine, for some of those rich donors in those companies to be like, oh, well, wait, I do want all the tax cut stuff.
But if you appoint someone who's anti-vaccine to the highest levels of government in this fucking guy, like, what's that going to do to my business?
So it is a weird thing.
I don't really, like, I'm not rooting for anyone, really.
I mean, I am rooting for science.
I think it's bad to be anti-vax because it's not scientific.
It's wrong.
And it's harmful.
It's dangerous.
But I don't care about, like, the pharma companies necessarily.
Yeah.
So it's just an interesting...
I'm curious to see how that goes, you know, like...
Yeah.
Another example of that was he gave an interview on Fox about kind of what he'd like to see change with regard to, you know, groceries and healthy food for kids.
Because, like, he does—conspiracy theorists, and he's, like, all in organic, right?
Like, he does care about the health of children.
And I think he gets there in some really dangerous ways.
Yeah.
But you can tell the things that he's concerned about is like, oh, you know, the processed food, the salt, the amount of salt that's in food, etc., etc.
And he's like, we need to make sure that all kids have access to three organic meals a day at school, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it's incredible because it's like, you think you're going to get that through Republican Congress?
Like, they're never going to pay for that.
They're not feeding kids.
No, they don't.
They don't.
They didn't even want to feed kids during COVID when that was the only food those kids had access to was their school meals.
They don't want to feed kids.
They don't care.
So, yeah, it's kind of this budding of value systems in some way that I think we'd see between those two entities.
Yeah, that's interesting.
They don't.
Okay, so is it possible to top RFK Jr.?
Can it be done?
Oh, yes.
Okay.
No spoilers, so let's just go straight to 257.50 and we can watch this person enter the stage.
Oh, here we go.
Oh my God, who's it going to be?
What?
Oh.
You don't get to use the brilliant music of people whose rights you're trying to take away.
Thank you!
Was that a laugh?
Yes.
Oh my god.
Hold it.
Hold on.
New sound clip for opening arguments thanking the patrons.
Thank you!
This insane person.
I need to hear that again.
I'm sorry.
No, do it.
Thank you!
He is crazy.
Yes.
I saw the Grateful Dead in this arena in 1987.
I was seated right there.
Fuck you.
Now you suck.
It's such an honor to be here, and it's wild.
Just another day following Bobby Kennedy Jr.
at a Donald Trump rally in Madison Square Garden.
What the fuck?
He's crazy.
That's totally normal.
He's lost his mind.
It is incredibly unfortunate that the people could not see what he did with his face.
This is Tucker Carlson, by the way.
Yeah, okay.
You don't know that.
You're not a listener to our show.
But yes, okay, Tucker Carlson.
Or this is an alien a la Men in Black that is in a Tucker Carlson suit.
Yeah, it could be that.
He just did a motion with his hands and face that was...
It was hysterical.
It was like, and I mean that literally.
It was like, what is wrong with this guy?
Does he have something?
No?
Okay.
I don't know.
Liz Cheney is out there with Kamala Harris.
And there's Bobby Kennedy calling to protect women's sports at a Trump rally.
It's a realignment.
It's unbelievable.
And the fact that it's here is even sweeter.
Yeah, so Tucker Carlson coming in, I literally just wrote down in my notes, his entrance is funny, and I had to play it.
I'm glad we did, but I want to get more into the meat of what he's talking about.
So if you actually go to three hours even, we're going to hear from him about kind of his predictions for how the selection is going to turn out.
...his friends.
The stones that takes, the bravery that takes.
Is incredible.
Donald Trump's going to win.
He's going to win.
I know that that's true.
Why is Donald Trump going to win?
The people he's about to defeat have no idea.
And they're panicked.
They have no idea why people like Donald Trump.
And their first theory was, well, Donald Trump is evil, so half the country is evil also.
And that's one of the reasons they spent the last four years trying to destroy the country, because they're mad at its voters for liking Donald Trump.
How much easier would it have been just to pause for 20 minutes and ask yourself honestly in some silent place, why do people like Donald Trump?
And if they hadn't been honest enough to ask themselves that question, they would have come up with the two main reasons, and here's what they are.
The first reason that people like Donald Trump is because he likes them.
That's why.
And it's real.
Affection is something you can't fake.
I don't care how many times Kamala Harris would tell me she loves me, I don't believe her.
I saw her kiss her husband with a mask on!
A mask on!
That's her version of love.
It's fake.
It's not real.
They spent 10 years telling you Trump is a hater.
Do you feel that on him?
No, you don't.
Because it's not there.
I've spent a lot of time with Trump.
And there's not one moment I've ever been with him off camera where he's spending his time grousing about people he hates.
Liar.
Never.
Literally lying.
He's talking about the people and the country he loves in his private time.
Trust me.
No.
And people know in a country that has been taken over by a leadership class that actually despises them and their values and their history and their culture and their customs really hates them to the point that it's trying to replace them.
They know someone actually has affection for them, and that's Donald Trump.
And it's requited.
It's requited.
They know.
When he goes to McDonald's and serves fries, like, he's not faking that at all.
That's why that works.
You mean at the fake McDonald's it wasn't open?
How is that working?
Because it's real.
That's why.
Fact check.
It was not.
And the second reason that people love Trump, and I put myself in this category, it's why I'm here today.
It's because he's liberated us in the deepest and truest sense.
And the liberation he has brought to us is the liberation from the obligation to tell lies.
Can you believe that?
Donald Trump has made it possible for the rest of us to tell the truth about the world around us.
And that's the single most liberating thing you can do for people.
If you want to enslave people, if you want to degrade them, force them to tell lies.
And they have.
They've forced us to lie about everything at gunpoint, effectively.
They put people in prison for refusing to lie.
And not just the obvious lies that men can become women or Vladimir Putin blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.
No, honestly, he did.
January 6th was an insurrection.
They were unarmed, but it was very insurrection-y.
Not even the obvious ones, but the big lie.
You know what the big lie is?
The big lie is that they're impressive.
That's what the big lie is.
That the people in charge have somehow earned the right to rule over you, and they haven't.
And you know that.
These are the single most useless people in the United States.
They have no skills whatsoever.
They've got three quarters of the money and they didn't earn it.
They set up a system precisely for the purpose of awarding themselves wealth and power when it's undeserved.
You look at Liz Cheney and you ask yourself honestly, What skill could she possibly have that allowed her to send hundreds of thousands of people to their deaths?
Did she earn that?
I don't think she did.
When did she do that?
No fair system would make Liz Cheney powerful.
She's not in government right now.
Do you like how he's picking the woman?
No fair system would elevate someone like Kamala Harris to a presidential nomination.
No fair system.
Weird.
She's never been...
precisely no achievement.
She's a nominee without getting a single vote.
She is a metaphor for the system they created to make themselves rich and powerful.
And then they have the gall to lecture you, the people who can actually change a flat tire and repair a power grid, who have usual jobs, who pay your taxes and work 40 hours a week.
I love that this fucking little, isn't he, he inherited a bunch of wealth, right?
Isn't he the, like, Campbell's Soup or something random?
He's inherited a gajillion dollars.
He's always had his dorky little fucking nerd bow tie, which, nothing wrong with that except you're the very exact thing that you're railing against right now.
Swanson.
Swanson something.
Yeah.
Oh, the frozen food, right?
I think so.
Yeah.
Microwave dinner or something.
I know it's some...
He's a little lord.
He inherited his little lordling thing.
And he's bashing...
You know, I'm not a fan of Liz Cheney.
I don't give a shit about any of that.
But like...
Did she deserve her wealth less than this little prince who inherited it with his little bow tie?
And then, I love it.
He doesn't actually know any of this stuff.
And trying to come up with two, like, down-to-earth examples.
So, fix a power grid is the...
Okay, I'll give him...
Yeah, yeah.
Change a flat tire.
Okay, he got that.
Repair a power grid.
Is that a common skill?
Shit, hon, I don't know how to do that.
Am I supposed to know...
I don't know.
Apparently the way people are cheering in this, a lot of them know how to do it.
Yeah, I definitely can repair a power grid for sure.
You just take the wires and then you get electrical tape and you put them together and then that works.
The weird thing targeting Liz Cheney, I mean, again, she's a Republican who obviously is anti-Trump and did show a lot of backbone, I think.
But she's not in...
She lost renomination.
She's not in anything right now.
It's weird to be like, she's ascended to the whatever.
No, she spoke out against Trump and now she's not in government anymore.
So isn't that kind of the opposite of what you're saying?
Like, this is the system they created to benefit...
Now, I didn't know, it does say, I didn't know much about her because I don't really care, but she is the oldest daughter, obviously, of Dick Cheney, and she says she had several positions in the State Department during the Bush administration, so I guess she promoted regime change.
So yeah, she definitely sucked, and probably still sucks.
I don't know if you could say she sent anyone to their death.
If you have a position in the State Department, I think that's a tough claim to make.
I think Dick Cheney probably could say that.
And ultimately, I mean, I think you could also put that blame on a commander-in-chief, the person who's supposed to...
Yeah, and Dick Cheney, the Republican.
We've seen this flip with a number of them, where they're taking stuff that's...
100% Republicans' fault, but it's been 20 years, so they can just say somehow that's now our fault because of this Liz Cheney endorsement?
It's so silly and weak of a connection.
And strange.
I really am wondering what's going on in people's minds there.
Yeah, I don't remember really who Larry Fink is, and I don't care, and I don't...
Yeah, if you want to talk about people who don't deserve their wealth...
Again, what did you do, little prince?
Where'd you get your money?
Where did you get all your starting money?
How'd you get your leg up?
Also Donald Trump.
Where'd you get all your money, Donald Trump?
Yeah, how did he...
Where'd he get his...
It's so fucking rich.
Silver spoon babies.
But it's also, like, so nakedly just racist and sexist.
I mean, they...
Yeah.
They all have...
Again, there's the classic resume tests where if you take the same exact resumes and you sub women's names versus men's names, people will come up with reasons why they think one's more qualified.
It could be, oh, the more practical experience and less education.
That's good.
And then if it's a women's name, well, they don't have the education, you know?
And so it's like you can find ways to justify it.
Sexism and racism is not...
I don't like this person because of the color of their skin.
That's like almost no one.
I mean, there's obviously there are those, but they're very few.
Very few people think they're racist and are proud of it.
Stephen Miller's probably one.
Yeah, there are a few and they are in Trump's government.
David Duke.
Yeah, a lot of those Nazis.
Most racists don't think they're racist.
It really is true.
They don't think they are.
They don't think they're sexist.
They don't think they are.
They think, no, I just have a good reason for discounting the far more qualified female candidate for president.
I just have great reasons to do it.
And completely minimizing Trump's absolute lack of qualifications of any kind in a serious manner, just looking past that.
They just look past that.
And just saying, there's no way, just asserting really without any proof, she hasn't accomplished anything while she has.
And there's no way this system, a fair system, could lead her to be the candidate.
Why not?
Because she's a woman and not white.
That's really all it is.
Yeah, if you keep going, Tucker's going to have a lot more thoughts about Kamala's competence.
Okay.
Mostly just sticking around in the face of their hate and abuse and persecution, he has given the rest of us the right to call BS on the charade.
No, you are not better than us.
No, you are not smarter than us.
No, you do not deserve what you have.
You probably stole it.
No, you're not going to bully me into silence anymore.
What?
And I can promise you at this point, nine days out, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
and Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard and pretty much every high school senior and college shorty girl in the country has come out finally saying, yeah, I am for Donald Trump, actually.
When the entire country has realized there is nothing embarrassing about this.
What's embarrassing is to take a perfectly great country and destroy it as they have.
I'm not ashamed.
You should be.
At that moment, it's going to be pretty tough for them.
Ten days from now to look in the eye to America with a straight face.
It's going to be pretty hard to look at us.
And say, you know what?
Kamala Harris, she's just, she got 85 million votes because she's just so impressive.
As the first Samoan Malaysian Low IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president.
It was just a groundswell of popular support.
And anyone who thinks otherwise is just a freak or a criminal.
At this stage of the game, after nine years of listening to their lies and finding every single one of them totally false.
No, it's not safe and effective.
And no, she's not impressive.
It's very hard for me to believe the rest of us are going to say, you know what, Joe Scarborough, you're right.
You're right.
She won fair and square because she's just so impressive.
I don't think so.
And to me, that is liberation.
It's the freedom to say what's obviously true as a free man and not a slave.
And I just want to say thank you, Donald Trump, for that.
Can you believe Tucker Carlson's speech, I feel like, is a perfect, in a horrible way, summation of everything.
I mean, we got great replacement theory coming into play there.
We have the big lie.
We have, yeah, like, totally misrepresenting the candidate for president for the Democratic Party.
Why do we think it's easy to become a prosecutor in California, the biggest state?
Like, one of the...
That'd be hard.
He's talking about just no accomplishments.
It's like, that's got to be a competitive...
Oh, as Attorney General.
Gotcha.
I thought you were talking about San Francisco specifically.
That too.
I mean, any of that.
Like, you don't think anyone else wants that job?
Yeah.
It's just easy to get.
They just see a woman of color and they're like, oh, well, you get it because you wanted it.
You don't think there's like a ton of competition, by the way, to say nothing of other people of color.
It's like there's a lot of people in this state.
Yeah.
And it would be hard to get an elite job like that.
I imagine you would have to have qualifications.
Yeah.
I mean, I think from the very beginning with Tucker's entrance to the very end, it is just however many minutes that was.
Six minutes or so.
Oh, it's already over?
Yeah, that was it for him.
Maybe it was like eight minutes total that he spoke.
But from the very beginning to the very end, it just feels like that's the America we're looking at.
I mean, it is Trumpism.
It is MAGA. He's the best distillation of it.
Yeah.
An angry, screamy, white victim.
Hysterical.
Wealthy beyond belief.
Yelling about how everyone else, it's not fair that everyone else has stuff.
Yeah.
And I do a point of clarification just in case people want to reach out regarding Tucker's family lineage.
His stepmother is a Swanson, but they had sold Swanson to Campbell Soup Company.
Oh, it is a Campbell Soup.
Yeah, exactly.
So I just wanted to clear that up for the audience.
Got money.
Step, yeah, but okay.
Stepmom, but yeah.
Did he end up with money or no?
She legally adopted Tucker and his brother.
So, yes, he is likely, you know, I don't know technically her will, but theoretically, like, he is adopted by her and that is his family lineage now.
So he also grew up in La Jolla outside of San Diego.
Very, very rich area.
And his house overlooked the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club.
Oh, I'm sure.
Yeah.
His modest five bajillion dollar house.
His father also owned property in Nevada and Vermont and islands in Maine and Nova Scotia.
That's the thing.
If his stepmom was that, who was his dad?
A plumber?
Yeah.
I'm sure his dad was some sort of little white royalty.
A former Gonzo reporter who became the director of Voice of America, president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles.
Yeah.
So connected, inherited wealth, got a leg into media.
Amazing schooling.
Yeah.
But he deserves it all, you don't understand, because he wore his nice little bow tie.
So he deserves it all.
People who don't look like him don't deserve it.
Incredible.
All right.
Let's talk about someone else who's incredible.
But not the regular Incredible Hulk.
We're going to talk about Hulk Hogan.
Retired wrestler Hulk Hogan.
Not the Incredible Hulk.
Oh, this guy.
Yeah.
So, I really just want to highlight one thing here, because I have not seen this talked about anywhere else, and 3-11-30 is where we're going to go.
He's talking about Kamala at this point, but like I said, I haven't seen anyone else talk about this particular instance in his speech.
Speak.
He sounds for real, brother.
He sounds like he has a heart of gold.
That's all for the USA. But when I hear Kamala speak, it sounds like a script from Hollywood with a really Bad actress!
Yeah, okay.
That's what I want to just focus on.
The hawk-ta, right?
I have not seen anyone talk about that, surprisingly.
I mean, there are so many examples throughout this entire six-hour thing.
It's hard to get to at all.
Yeah, it's hard to pick up on those things.
But that just, like, flew under the radar for everybody.
And it's disgusting what he's implying there.
And so I was shocked.
And I just wanted to share that with you all, I guess.
I don't know.
So you can suffer with me.
Yeah, and again, I mean, anytime, I think this is important, anytime to recognize, to step back and recognize how fucking awful stuff is, and it doesn't, it didn't used to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way.
I was going to say that before, and I'm glad I'm remembering now.
Since when did the Republicans just have a bunch of people get down there and say fuck a bunch in a political realm?
Oh, I know, I know.
Isn't that weird?
Just swearing, yeah.
I mean, I don't care so much other than that it's like a sign of...
Again, the important thing was never whatever morals they thought they had or they were trying to espouse.
Because in a heartbeat, they will claim that the other side is horrible for using a curse word or whatever.
It's all convenience.
And again, the main...
key is the racism, the misogyny, the fascism.
That's what matters to be in that camp.
So any rules are out the window as long as you are down with that message.
But to just imply that like Kamala Harris is like an actress who, by the way, this is already a sexist trope to just make reference to like, it's written by an actress.
Here's the problem with old Hollywood.
We know it's a bunch of unqualified women sex favoring their way to the top.
That's...
That's really...
It's not the predatory fucking men like Weinstein.
Like Weinstein.
Yeah, it's not any of them.
It's the incompetent actresses who just, you know...
And, like, to imply that the other candidate, the major candidate of the first woman who might be elected, like a second major female candidate for president, is that...
Like, have you no decency?
Like, what happened?
There is no decency anymore.
Yeah.
There hasn't been for a while, but I think it's important to try to remember that anytime.
Like, anytime we can, the only way we're getting it back is to remember what it was like when we had it.
Oh, and not just the Harvey Weinstein, you know, kind of ignoring, but like Donald Trump, who on tape said...
I meant in terms of film executives.
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, but from celebrity, right?
Like this celebrity position.
Donald Trump is someone who was rubbing elbows with Hollywood folk for a long, long time.
And his whole, you know, like, when you're a star, they let you do anything, grab them by the pussy, right?
Like, that's something that the Republican Party has just decided to embrace and then treat then women on the other side of this in this particular way.
Oh, you know, maybe we can play another recording of Terry Bollea here to get the full picture.
Hey, and content note, extreme racism.
Let's see.
Here's another recording of this guy. - The point where I look broke as fuck in the black and son.
Where they've been hanging out, I can't hold hands together on the tour, they're getting close to the time before I'm feeling fucking good.
I'm not a double standard, I doubt.
I'm a racist to a point.
You know, fucking here's a good one.
When it comes to nice people, you know what I mean? - Well, we all are that way. - Yeah, but when it comes to nice people, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it's hard to make out, but it was effing N-words.
I'm a racist to a point.
And then someone chimes in, well, we're all that way.
Wow.
Because this is the America that votes for Trump.
Let's see, there's a little bit much more.
You can't say...
I don't care about it.
If we're going to F with N-words, let's get a rich one.
So he's basically saying that if his daughter is going to be with a black man, it better be someone rich.
Yeah, this is the kind of piece of shit that would get up on the stage for Trump.
So it shouldn't really be a mystery.
It's so weird how it's a whole bunch of economic dissatisfaction that leads to this.
It's definitely not the racism.
It's definitely not the racism, everybody.
That's just what the left-wing media wants you to think.
Yeah.
So with that context in mind, I think the next guest and specifically this clip that I want to play from him, I just thought was honestly hilarious.
Just the cognitive dissonance in particular with this one.
This is someone that caught a lot of people by surprise.
I don't care about this person at all.
But I had no idea they were this level of Trump.
I never thought about it.
It's pretty wild, though, to see.
And the reason it matters is you see people like this with major platforms and followings.
And you're like, oh, great, awesome.
They're also a piece of shit who's going to be helping Trump.
It's scary.
It sucks.
Yeah, so we're going to go to 3-22-16 and we'll talk about it.
Now you're in my wheelhouse, buddy.
I may not be an expert in politics, but I am an expert about bullying.
And bullying is when you seek to harm somebody, you seek to intimidate, coerce, cause distress, fear, risk to their well-being.
And it can be physical, verbal, relational, or cyberbullying.
What?
Silent.
And it's always wrong.
You said it, my friend.
It is always wrong when you bully somebody.
What are you talking about, dude?
And that's what's going on.
Now, let me tell you what the critics are going to say when they hear me talking about this.
They're going to say, well, now, wait a minute.
Come on.
Yeah.
Isn't Trump a bully?
Yes.
And let me tell you why the answer to that question is no.
Because to be a bully, there has to be an imbalance of power.
And when there's not, it's just called a debate.
And he's just better at it than anybody else.
Donald Trump, no imbalance of power.
Ex-president.
It's called debating.
It's called arguing.
It's just, it may even name-calling, but it's not bullying unless there's an imbalance of power.
And whoever he talks to, they've got a microphone, they've got on their big boy pants, they've got a stage, they've got everything else.
He's just better at it.
And the same thing is true.
When the Democrats or Harris call him fascist, Hitler, racist, misogynist, or crook, Is that bullying?
Well, not really.
It's ugly, but with the First Amendment, which we all want to keep, there's no imbalance of power, so it's not bullying.
The First Amendment's okay with bullying.
It's just like what he does.
It may not be the best use of energy, but when you attack civilians, when you attack a citizen, and you use the power of the Internet, you use mob mentality, you incite people to gang up and cause boycotts, Then it's beyond ugly.
And that's what's happening in this country right now.
And that's not okay.
Because of all of you people.
All right, you can stop there.
So much like Bill Clinton.
He's like weird, bizarre universe Bill Clinton.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So that's, yeah, Dr.
Phil, you know, he got his doctorate in clinical psychology.
That's why the bullying answer sounded like a definition.
Let's play a game show of who's the worst psychologist, him or Jordan Peterson.
Oh, God.
But his license hasn't been renewed since 2006.
So he's longer out of practice than Jordan Peterson.
Yeah, yeah.
He was licensed out of Texas, but then they were filming Dr.
Phil in California.
And so then he just opted not to renew it, I guess, in 2006 when that was brought up.
Yeah.
Dr.
Phil's also kind of a big part of when you look at the troubled teen industry.
I know that's not the focus of this episode, in particular, the series at all, but he's a very problematic person, too, and contributed to a lot of people suffering a lot when they were young.
And that includes Danielle Peskiewicz-Rigoli.
She was the Cash Me Outside How About That Girl back in 2016.
And she's, you know, since become really outspoken regarding the troubled teen industry because Dr.
Phil presented her parents with, here's something that seemed like a recommendation and it ended up being a really, really terrible, you know, like wilderness kind of situation.
What?
Wilderness?
Yeah, like wilderness survivalist situations where that's one portion of the troubled teen industry that they do.
She was incredibly impacted by that, and she came out on multiple documentaries kind of talking about her experience and the impact that going on Dr.
Phil had on her life, how negative it was because of her parents trusting him and then sending her to a place that really harmed her significantly.
So...
He is not an innocent person.
And he also doesn't understand the words that are coming out of his mouth.
Like when he's talking about bullies and somehow he's able to say that Donald Trump isn't.
It's just, yeah, the cognitive dissonance in that clip in particular, I just thought was really remarkable.
All right.
So now we're actually going to skip the next person, which might be a surprise to folks.
J.D. Vance.
We're skipping him.
It was a snooze fest.
It was 10 minutes of nothing.
It was so incredibly boring.
Nothing like pathetic that we can point to?
No, it was just, it was bland.
It was vanilla the entire time.
I just wrote none worth playing.
There was nothing funny.
There was nothing like catching.
There was nothing scary or like nothing.
It was just so white bread, boring.
We're not even going to talk about it.
Oh, okay.
The next couple speakers were the kids, right?
Not Ivanka.
Ivanka's not there, by the way.
Well, I won't say she's not there.
I don't know if she's actually in Madison Square Garden, but she did not elect to go and speak.
But Eric Trump and Laura Trump came up together, and we'll clue in on just one of their clips to get us out.
Is Laura Trump a full Trump?
She's Eric Trump's wife.
Okay.
I thought she was the sister for a sec.
Who's the other one?
Tiffany.
Yeah.
She doesn't get to talk, right?
She doesn't talk.
Yeah.
And actually, speaking of that, so Eric Trump and Laura Trump went up together to do their speech.
Don Jr.
went up by himself and I was like, where's Kimberly?
And I was like, is she not there?
Is she coming up after?
No, she never appears on stage, but she was there.
And I think if folks remember her speech at the RNC and how badly she bombed, she was at the event, but she didn't speak.
And I'm pretty sure it's because the RNC performance was so terrible.
Just her face already is so tough to look at.
Yeah, yeah.
It's really bad.
We're going to hear Eric Trump and Laura Trump go out on a great little moment.
They have 349.05.
Let's look at these lovebirds.
Guys, this isn't politics.
This isn't politics.
This is a family.
It's hard.
We love you too.
We love you too.
And then he awkwardly claps.
This is so bad.
This is so much more than a political movement.
This is the greatest family in the world.
We are fighting for a country we love.
We are fighting for the American flag.
We are fighting for the Constitution.
We are fighting for our liberty.
And as a family, we've been out there every single day over the last 10 years.
They've tried everything they could to destroy my father, to destroy us.
Dirty dossiers, Russian hoaxes.
They tried to impeach him twice.
They went after his Supreme Court nominees.
They threw him off of Facebook.
They threw him off of Twitter.
They threw him off of Instagram.
They tried to take away his First Amendment right.
Guys, they tried absolutely everything.
They weaponized every DA and every AG in this country to try and take down my father.
You got a lot more cases coming up, I guess.
They did exactly that.
Alvin Bragg, Letitia James.
Just gotta say the names.
Get the boos.
I'm Laura Trump waving.
They tried to destroy his life.
They tried to take him off the ballot in Colorado.
They tried to take him off the ballot in Maine.
They tried to subdue the vote of literally hundreds of millions of Americans who absolutely adore the guy.
Guys, it's been political lawfare every single day.
And then somebody tried to kill him.
And despite that, every single time he stands up and he says, fight, fight, fight.
No, it's only three.
And how do you think it feels for them as we're back at Madison Square Garden, the greatest arena anywhere in the world?
Guys, I saw the Rangers play here and win the cup in 94.
I'm not sure what you're doing.
Every Knicks game, every concert, the greatest arena anywhere in the world.
And you better believe the entire party who has failed at taking down Donald Trump, an entire party who has failed at taking down his family, they're sitting there on those cameras right now watching all of us, watching all of you. watching all of you.
Almost 200,000 people tried to get into this event tonight.
Wow.
These are pretty dumb.
Why would you keep trying after well over capacity?
And raising their fists, pumping at the crowd, clapping at the crowd.
All right.
He's just stopping.
All right, we can stop.
Yeah, so one of the things that I think is so funny is, like, this focus on his family, the greatest family in the world.
Like, we're, you know, we're going to get this family elected.
That feels a little not so much a democracy.
That feels like the setup to something else.
And, you know, this kind of like major focus on the greatest blank, right?
Like the greatest family in the world, the greatest arena, blah, blah, blah.
Laura Trump later on says- Oh, she speaks.
She does, but we don't need to hear her speech.
She is the RNC co-chair, so she does have- Kind of a prominent role in the party as a whole.
But one of the quotes that she says that I wrote down that I just thought I'd share is, again, focusing on the greatest.
When they take a mugshot of you, the greatest mugshot in the history of the world.
It's positive.
When they take it?
What is the rest of that?
She's just kind of talking about these things done to try and discredit Donald Trump.
They took his mugshot.
No, that's part of the process.
They take a mugshot of you.
The greatest mugshot in the history of the world.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, with that, we can kind of, like, prep because Donald Trump is...
Take a break for a second.
He's coming up, though.
He's coming up fast.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
We still have some stars to see.
We'll have a couple big stars to focus on, and then we'll close it all out with the former guy.
Oh, boy.
And then we can put this all behind us, everybody.
We can just...
Well, or not.
I don't know.
Dear God, I hope this is behind us.
When you're hearing this, you know the election.
Don't spoil it for us.
We actually do spoil it.
If you can time travel, spoil it for me right now.
We don't know what's happening, but either way, either this is hilarious or really grim and we need to know about it.
On to the next part, the final part.
Of mine and Lydia's, mainly Lydia's misery.
Yes.
And thanks so much for listening, everyone.
Please support the show.
Patreon.com slash wherethereswoke means a ton to us and pays the medical bills here because this is seriously horrible.
We'll see you for the final part.
All right.
Thank you!
