Tim Walz's Dumpster Fire Debate Performance (Ep.55) · V

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bungie in a Report Early Edition.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Evita. J.D. Vance epically fact-checks the fact-checkers
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: on the Springfield Haitian migrant invasion. Tim Walz doubles down
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: on his Tiananmen Square lie.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: J.D.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Holds a referendum on the Biden-Kamala censorship regime. Two grandparents
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and their grandson drowned in North Carolina after the flooding
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: brought their roof down and help was not there in time.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Kamala says, Disaster aid should be based on race and gender.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And the Kamala Biden administration sends more troops to the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Middle East and Poland amid the hurricane crisis. All this
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: on Bongina Report, early edition. I don't know if you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: guys know this, but I don't get a lot of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: sleep when we have these debates because it goes really
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: late into the night. Then I have to add in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: all of the content from the debate into the show
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: this morning. But I'm going to deliver a good show,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I think, because I have done a lot of reflecting.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Even though it was a late night, even though I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: went to bed a lot later than I usually do
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: for this early morning show, I did a lot of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: thinking about what happened last night. And we have a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: lot to discuss today about this debate. And you guys
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: know that I've been critical of of J.D. Vance at times,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: skeptical of some things that he said, particularly about Iran,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: foreign policy. But last night, J.D. Vance was objectively more
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: competent and confident than Tim Walz. No one can deny that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I want you to take a look at these photos
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: comparing Tim Walz and J.D. Vance's eyes. And now if
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you're listening, these were pretty much the expressions throughout the night.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Vance was exuding confidence. His gaze was fixed. It was narrowed.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Walsh's eyes were wide and fearful. Someone said it looks
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: like predator versus prey, butter versus seed oils. You guys
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: get the picture. You know, in life, so many of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: our interactions and perceptions are nonverbal. And we're going to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: get into the specifics of what was said last night,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the policy. Don't worry. I know you guys are smart people.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You all care about the policy a lot. But all
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of us, myself included, we can't help it that stature, tone, fluidity,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: facial expressions, these things matter. They communicate vital information to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the viewers that go beyond the substance of the words
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: being spoken. People are attracted to strong leadership, especially after
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: enduring and enduring the uncertainty of being led by a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: man so obviously in physical and mental decline. And it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: everything other than the content I think that's going to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: be really impactful on voters. It's strength versus weakness, confidence
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: versus fear. That's what was communicated to America last night. Now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have taken the stylistic changes, the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: tonal differences between Vance and Walsh and said it was
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a decisive victory for J.D. Vance. I don't think that's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the case. I don't think that Tim Wallace won either.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But I don't think that Shady Vance delivered the victory
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: many of us think he did or many of us
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: think that he should have. And I'm going to explain why.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But first, I want to set the stage here. I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: want to cover some key moments last night. So many
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: important things happened. They need to be discussed. The first
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is that the debate moderators were completely and utterly biased,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: as you all can probably guess. In their insertions, in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the framing of the questions, In this clip about the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: invasion of Haitians in Springfield, the moderators wanted to discredit J.D.,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: but instead J.D. Vance turned it into one of the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: best moments of the night. And this was a real
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: strong suit for J.D. I want you guys to take
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a listen to this.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Governor. And just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: legal status, temporary protected status. Senator, we have so much
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: to get to.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Margaret, I think it's important.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Because— We're going to turn out of the economy.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren't.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Going to fact-check.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And since you're fact-checking me, I think it's important to
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: say what's actually going on. So there's an application called
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the CBP OneApp. Or you can go on as an
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: applying for a green card, and waiting for 10 years.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: That is the facilitation of illegal immigration, Margaret, by.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Our own leadership. Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: We have so.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Much to get to, Senator.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Those laws have been on the books since 1990.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Thank you, gentlemen.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: The CBP One app has not been on the books
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: since 1990. It's something that Kamala Harris created, Margaret.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: They had to cut the mics out of embarrassment. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the moderator should be embarrassed for the stupidity of that interaction.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And J.D. Vance eviscerated their fact check. First of all,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: there are illegal patients in Springfield. But then as J.D.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Vance explained, There are Haitians who are here under the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: totally unconstitutional CBP1 program. And the CBP1 program, if you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: guys don't know, it essentially offers a fast pass entrance
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: for would-be illegal border crossers through a literal cell phone
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: app called CBP1. And this program has allowed those who
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: intended to cross illegally between land ports of entry not
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to be counted in the illegal crossings category. even though
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they totally are illegal. Again, it's a workaround so Kamala
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: can make her illegal migrant numbers look lower than they
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: actually are. I cannot express to you how happy I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: was to see J.D. Vance fact-check the moderators on that issue.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And he did that really beautifully in a lot of
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: places in this debate. The people deserve to know the truth.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: As J.D. Vance said elsewhere, the real issue here... is
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that Springfield residents and Americans across the country in general
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: are suffering because of the illegal migrant crisis. That is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the priority here. The moderators were bad last night. It
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was truly egregious. Listen to the framing of the first
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: immigration question.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Senator Vance. Your campaign is pledging to carry out the
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: largest mass deportation plan in American history and to use
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the US military to do so. Could you be more
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: specific about exactly how this will work? For example, would
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: you deport parents who have entered the US illegally and
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: separate them from any of their children who were born
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: on US soil?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You see the framing? It has nothing to do with Americans.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: She's concerned about family separation. of illegals. And if she
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: cared about illegals so much, she'd frame the question around
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: human trafficking. And this was a really brilliant point for J.D.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Vance again last night. He said, okay, you want to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: talk about illegals who are suffering from the border crisis?
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Bet.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Take a listen.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Right now in this country, Margaret, we have 320,000 children
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: that the Department of Homeland Security has effectively lost. Some
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: of them have been sex trafficked. Some of them hopefully
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: are at homes with their families. Some of them have
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: been used as drug trafficking mules. The real family separation
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: policy in this country is unfortunately Kamala Harris's wide open
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: southern border.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands of children are missing. They are missing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: We have no idea where they are, probably trafficked.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: J.D.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Vance also mentioned the fentanyl crisis, the job crisis, how
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the open border is killing and victimizing Americans. Again, he
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: brings it back to the people who really matter, which
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: are the Americans. Take a listen.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: What it's meant is that a lot of fentanyl is
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: coming into our country. I had a mother who struggled
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: with opioid addiction and has gotten clean. I don't want
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: people who are struggling with addiction to be deprived of
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: their second chance because Kamala Harris let in fentanyl into
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: our communities at record levels. So you've got to stop
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: the bleeding. You've got to reimplement Donald Trump's border policies.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: The open border is bad for us. It's bad for Americans.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's also bad for illegals, and we can talk about
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the human trafficking, but it's bad for us. That should
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: be the priority. That is what J.D. Vance brought it
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: back to. Contrast Vance and his response there to Tim
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Walz saying, and this is a flashback, he will help
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: illegals invade our country.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: I think seeing... a plan that's out there, talking about
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: it with folks, knowing that he's not going to do anything.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: He talks about this wall. I always say, let me
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: know how high it is. If it's 25 feet, then
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: I'll invest in the 30-foot ladder factory. That's not how
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: you stop this.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: He's going to buy them a ladder to scale our wall,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to break our immigration laws. Here's Tim Walz, again, a flashback,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: boasting about having more refugees per capita in Minnesota.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: We have more refugees per capita than any other state.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: That's not just morally a good thing. It's our economic
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: and cultural future. This beautiful diversity we see out in
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Worthington when I'm there, you see 50 languages spoken in
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: the school.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, the priorities are so starkly different. Again, this
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: lowers the wages of Minnesotans. of Minnesota workers, and he's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: proud of it. It'll do the same. It's doing the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: same thing to Americans everywhere. The illegal immigration crisis. Just
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: last week, the Minneapolis Police Department hired a non-American citizen,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a native to Somalia, on the force. Tim Walz is
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: naturally going to be supportive of the federal equivalent to that,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: which is letting non-citizens fight in our military. Non-citizens are
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: taking part in a military run by an administration fully
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: weaponized against half the people. That is a scary, scary thought. Guys,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break for a second,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: but when we come back, we're going to discuss the lowest,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: most embarrassing point of the debate for Tim Wallace, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we'll also get to why I don't think it's a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: victory for J.D. Vance. Stay tuned. Shout out to our sponsors.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: You guys know that there's a lot of pressures out
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: there not to work with right-wing commentators with alternative media
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: right now. And so, you know, if anybody is sponsoring
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: with myself, with Dan, with others in alternative media, they
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: are true patriots. They are bucking the system. So shout
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: out as always to our sponsors. We're going to talk
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: about the Tiananmen Square incident. Tim Walsh has brazenly bragged
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: about being in Hong Kong when the Tiananmen Square massacre
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: occurred back in June of 1989. Weird thing to brag about,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but okay. And then we learned last week that contemporaneous
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: news reports show Tim Walz touring a National Guard storeroom
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: in Nebraska in May 1989. And the reports indicate that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Walz did not leave the United States until August of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that year, at least two months after the student protests
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: ended with the Tiananmen Square massacre. So he just lied
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: about being in Hong Kong. The debate moderators asked Tim
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Walz about this And he went on a two minute rant,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: not answering the question. And after two minutes, the moderator
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: stopped him. And they said, OK, now you actually have
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to answer the question. How do you how do you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: how do you handle this discrepancy here? What actually happened?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Were you in Hong Kong? And it was a disaster
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: for Tim Walz.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: Take a listen.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: can you explain the discrepancy?
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: All I said on this was, is I got there
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: that summer and misspoke on this. So I will just,
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: that's what I've said. So I was in Hong Kong
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: and China during the democracy protest went in. And from that,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Governor. Senator Vance.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, Hong Kong was not part of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: China at that time. So he was not in China.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And he also was not in Hong Kong. He just lied.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He lied again on the debate stage. And you want
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to know how I know he's lying? Because the reports
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: of him being in Nebraska aren't true. He would have
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: easily and quickly refuted them. His campaign would have refuted
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: those reports last week when they came about. And when
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the question was asked in the debate stage, he would
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: have right away said, it's not true. I was in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong. I can prove otherwise. But instead he went
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on a two-minute rant about his life story and then
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: stuttered and stumbled his way through the response when he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: was actually forced to answer the question. And here's the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: reality with Tim Walz. He did not travel to Hong
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Kong until months after the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And it matters because we need to be able to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: trust our leaders. The stolen valor, Kamala's flip-flopping, randomly lying
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: about whether he's in Hong Kong. It all signals... that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the Democratic ticket is not trustworthy. You know, I want
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to turn to my favorite moment of the night, the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: January 6th question. Amazingly, we all knew it was coming. Vance,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: will you defend democracy, ignore election integrity, and admit that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump incited an insurrection? Predictable, of course, they were
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: going to ask that. Never did they ask about the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: BLM rioting, but we do get asked about January 6th.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And what J.D. Vance did in response was incredible. He
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: masterfully turned this question back on them to get the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: most crucial issue of the entire night, which was not
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: asked by the moderators. He got to that question. Take
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a listen.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I believe that we actually do have a threat to
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: democracy in this country. But unfortunately, it's not the threat
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: to democracy that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz want to
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: talk about. It is the threat of censorship. It's Americans
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: casting aside lifelong friendships because of disagreements over politics. It's
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: big technology companies silencing their fellow citizens. And it's Kamala
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Harris saying that rather than debate and persuade her fellow Americans,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: she'd like to censor people who engage in misinformation. I
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: think that is a much bigger threat to democracy than
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: anything that we've seen in this country in the last
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: four years, in the last 40 years. Now, I'm really proud,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: especially given that I was raised by two lifelong blue-collar Democrats,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: to have the endorsement of Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: lifelong leaders in the Democratic coalition. And of course, they
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: don't agree with me and Donald Trump on every issue.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: We don't have to agree on every issue. But we're
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: united behind a basic American First Amendment principle that we
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: ought to debate our differences. We ought to argue about them.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: We ought to try to persuade our fellow Americans Kamala
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Harris is engaged in censorship at an industrial scale. She
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: did it during COVID. She's done it over a number
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: of other issues. And that to me is a much
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: bigger threat to democracy than what Donald Trump said when
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: he said that protesters should peacefully protest on January the 6th.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Who is the real threat to democracy? The people who
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: are actively directing social media companies to censor speech that
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: they disprove of. He turned that really poorly framed question
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: right back at them and got to the real issue,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: which is the assault on the First Amendment. On Monday,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: we discussed the Biden admin official, John Kerry, literally declaring
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: war on the Constitution because it permits so-called disinformation. Now,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I want you guys to listen to this Tim Walz interjection.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: It's important.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: You yourself have said there's no First Amendment right to misinformation.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris wants to use the power of government and
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: big tech to silence people from speaking their minds.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: He jumps in and says, for threatening or hate speech.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Tim.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Hate speech, however you arbitrarily define it, is protected by
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the Constitution. Someone who does not understand the primary and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: clearest constitutional amendment, the first one, is the real threat
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to America. One more soundbite on this topic. I want
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to show you all, just take a listen to this one.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Come together afterwards.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. That's the test.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: That's the Supreme Court test.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Tim, fire in a crowded theater. You guys wanted to
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: kick people off of Facebook for saying that toddlers shouldn't
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: wear masks. That's not fire in a crowded theater. That
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: is criticizing the policies of the government, which is the
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: right of every American.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Senator, the governor does have the floor for one minute
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: to respond to you.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I don't run Facebook. What I do.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, You can yell fire in a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: crowded theater. That's allowed. He's a misconception. Another thing that
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Tim Wallace apparently does not know. But the Biden Kamala
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: admin is directing censorship on Facebook and other apps. So
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: it's so dishonest for Tim Wallace to say, oh, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: don't run Facebook, to insinuate that Facebook and other platforms
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: aren't acting at the behest of the government because they are.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It's indisputable. Zuckerberg has publicly admitted that Facebook censored the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop story and COVID-related content at the direction
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of the government. We even got more explicit evidence of
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: this partnership from the Twitter files. No one is even
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: denying this, except for apparently Tim Walz. Oh, I don't
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: run Facebook. I have no part of that. Maybe Tim
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Walz doesn't, but the Kamala Biden admin certainly does. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: left the debate not angry at Tim Walz, even though
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: he did a lot of lying. There was a moment
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: where he even said that children aren't being used as
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: drug mules. A thousand percent they are. was an egregious lie.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: But ultimately, the feeling that I had was pity. Sincere pity.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Women in the chat, tell me if you guys felt similarly.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Wallace was clearly out of his depth. He was nervous
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and coherent. He was self-deprecating. He called himself a knucklehead.
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: And I'm a knucklehead at times. And I'm a knucklehead
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: at times. And I'm a knucklehead at times.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Here he is.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: And I'm a knucklehead.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Saying that he's friends with school shooters.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it. Look,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Again, he lacked competence. He lacked confidence. He did not
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: come off as well as J.D. Vance did. Humans are
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: social creatures. Those things matter. And yet, despite all that,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think that J.D. Vance won, especially not in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the long term.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: J.D.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Was kind. He was conciliatory. And you're going to hear
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of right-wing pundits praise J.D. Vance because he
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: came off as smart. He came off as polite and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: almost kind toward Tim Walz. Dispelling this narrative that J.D.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Vance is weird, an anti-woman, some aggressive guy. And the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: main reason that so many pundits are going to praise J.D.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Vance is because he's a return to the status quo stylistically.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: He reminded me of Paul Ryan on the debate stage.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That was one of the first debates I really remember watching.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Paul Ryan, he was smooth. He was smart. He's a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin guy. I liked Paul Ryan. And believe it or not,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: at that time, Biden was a real challenge to debate.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: His brain hadn't been completely turned to mush. And I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: think that Paul Ryan should have come out on top
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of that debate. But we don't win when the strategy
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: is smooth and smart. The framing of all the questions
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: is And even the questions themselves were set up for
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Vance to lose. When the moderators asked about the economy,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: they asked about rising rent prices, because that's the only
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: thing Kamala and Walz have an actual plan to address.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: The moderators started to ask about the Second Amendment by saying, quote,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: turning to our gun violence epidemic. The climate issue, they said, oh,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: all the climate scientists, they do agree that climate change
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: is real. The moderators interjected with that little fact check.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: And Vance had to politely work with their framing on
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of these things. And I thought he was
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: smart again. I thought he was competent, but in a
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: situation like this, Donald Trump would have flipped the table.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: His strategy was to say climate change is a hoax
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to say they're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're bringing rapists.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: He didn't try to work from the premise set by
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the moderators. He just said his own premise. And a
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: lot of Americans had never heard. Not only the content
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: of what Trump was saying, but the style, the rhetoric
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: in the way that he was saying it, it was
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: so new. And that's why a lot of the pundits
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: hated him. And that's why a lot of the left
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: was so hateful toward him is so hateful toward him.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people on the right are going
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to praise JD Vance because he's a return to the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: pre Trump years stylistically. But that style has never worked
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: for us. Believe it or not, there is a method
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to Trump's madness. And so while J.D. was smooth and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: he was smart and he was quick, his style marks
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a return to what I think is ultimately a losing strategy.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Now I'm going to be honest with you guys. We're
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: going to turn to something different. But the very first
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: question of the debate kind of had me annoyed. The
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: question was about the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And it's an important issue. But is it the most
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: important issue? We shouldn't be discussing the Middle East before
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: we discuss Americans who are dying because of a Category
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: 4 hurricane that's impacted six states. And this isn't an
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Israel-Iran specific issue. I'd be saying this about any foreign
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: country that somehow got debate precedence over an issue here
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: at home, a dire issue here at home. Hurricane survivors
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: in Western North Carolina are reportedly seeing bodies stuck in trees,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: bodies under rubble, bodies floating in ditches, mudsides, landslides, taking
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: out homes, taking out people. More than a hundred are dead.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Thousands are missing. Millions without power. Billions of damage. The
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: devastation is apocalyptic. A woman named Jessica Dry Turner posted
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: a photo on Facebook taken by her sister, Megan. of
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: their parents in their seventies as they and her seven-year-old nephew, Micah,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: were trapped at the top of their Asheville roof, Asheville
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: home roof. So the woman who posted this, just so
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you guys understand what's going on, she lives in Texas.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Her sister sent her the photo of the parents trapped
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: on the roof. The little boy is there, but he's
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: not in frame. And this was the last photo taken
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: of the parents because help never arrived. The roof collapsed.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The little boy Micah and the elderly parents drowned. Just devastating.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: People are dying. And according to Vice President Kamala Harris,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the disaster aid should be based on race and gender,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: not on how much water flooded your home. Take a listen.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: It is our lowest income communities and our communities of
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: color that are most impacted by by these extreme conditions
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: and impacted by issues that are not of their own making.
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: And women.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: And so we have to address this in a way
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: we fight for equality, but we also need to fight
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: And if we want people to be in an equal place,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: sometimes we have to take into account those disparities. and
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: do that work.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I want to take a note. I'm seeing that some
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of you guys in the chat are pushing back against
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: my analysis with this debate. I'm not saying that J.D.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Vance lost to Tim Walz. I am not saying that
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: at all. I laid out that Tim Walz was weak.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: He looked scared. He was not competent.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: J.D.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Vance was the exact opposite of that. And in a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: perfect world, J.D. Vance would have won that debate decisively.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: What I'm telling you guys is the framing of these
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: debates is so bad, is so poor that we have
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to flip the table and be unpolite. We have to
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: be almost aggressive and change the entire premise of these
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: questions in the way that Trump so famously has done
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: his entire political career. If we have any chance of
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: winning people over because it is set against us, the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: whole thing is set up for the right to fail.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: And if we play by their playbook, we will fail.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. And I'm going to come back
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to that at the end. We're going to keep talking
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: about it. Don't worry. I appreciate all of your comments,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: but I want to talk about this, this Kamala clip
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: because what she said is so incredibly vile. No disaster
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: relief should be based on your skin color. It's discriminatory,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: it's racist, it is evil. And don't think that Kamala
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: was just saying that. No, her administration has fully taken
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the sentiment to heart. FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: lists a set of three goals as part of their
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: strategic plan to address key challenges in emergency management. Take
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a guess at what the number one goal is. To
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: instill equity as a foundation of emergency management. According to
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: FEMA's plan, diversity, equity, and inclusion cannot be optional. That's
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a quote. So in other words, don't help white people first.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I am done with the left accusing the right of racism. Newsflash,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: anyone can be racist, and your skin color and your
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: voting record has no bearing on the matter. Anita says, 911, help,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I'm on my roof. Ma'am, what's your skin color? That's
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: what FEMA's doing. That's what they say they're doing. That's
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: what Kamala Harris has already called for. And again, anybody
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: can be racist. Case in point, Kamala Harris is one
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of the most racist people in America. And she's black
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: or Indian, and she votes Democrat. But it's not just Kamala.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Huge swaths of the left are openly admitting that in
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the wake of this disaster, they have no compassion for
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: white people or people who vote Republican. This is Chris Valenti,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: a very famous TikToker, saying he cares more about the dogs.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: than Republicans who've been devastated by the hurricane. Take a listen.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: They were warned by the state government and local governments.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: They said, hey, this hurricane's going to be real bad.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: The water level's going to rise. Transformers and power lines
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: are going to go out. The water's going to become electrocuted.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: It is not safe. You guys need to get out
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: of here. And these people stayed because they vote Republican?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: How the fuck has a natural disaster become politicized? How
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: fucking broken is your brain to the point that you're
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: not gonna believe your state and local governments and go, actually,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna tank this one out. I don't
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: feel bad for you. I don't feel bad for, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the only people Not even people. I guess the only
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: things that I feel bad for who are trapped in
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: this hurricane are the fucking dogs, okay? Because if they
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: were able to make a choice, if they were fucking warned,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they would have evacuated. Because unironically, fucking dogs
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: are smarter than you.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: By the way, there were a lot of Democrats who
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: did not evacuate during Hurricane Katrina. And that is disgusting
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: rhetoric from this TikToker. informed by Democrat leadership like Kamala Harris.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when Kanye said after Hurricane Katrina that
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: George Bush does not care about black people? Here's a reminder.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that for a second.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: The destruction of the spirit of the people of southern
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Louisiana and Mississippi may end up being the most tragic
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: loss of all. George Bush doesn't care about black people.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Obviously a very viral line. Everybody, I think it was
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Seth Meyers in that clip. Was that right, Mikey? Mike Myers.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He was very awkward. Nobody knew what to say.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: But John Daniel Davidson, my former colleague at The Federalist,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: he makes a really great point about this clip. He said, today,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: it's the inverse. Kamala Harris doesn't care about white people.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: That's the title of his article. It was a great article.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: And that's what this is all about. John writes, it
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: hasn't escaped anyone's notice that the victims of the flooding
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: are predominantly poor white people in Appalachia. Given that fact
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and the appalling lack of concern from Harris and Biden,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: there's a lot more reason right now to claim that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Harris doesn't care about white people than there ever was
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to claim Bush didn't care about black people. The victims
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: of Hurricane Helena are white Trump supporters from a red state,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: so she doesn't really care about what happens to them.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And I'm not just saying that, and neither is John.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: You guys saw the video, Prioritize Minorities Over White People.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: FEMA stated that it's implementing that policy on its website.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: It's their number one goal. Meanwhile, normal everyday leftists are
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: celebrating the fact that Trump white voters, who they accuse
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: of being racist, are suffering and dying. They are celebrating
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that fact. And the craziest part is no one even
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: knows who's giving orders right now. No one knows who's
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: running the country. This was Biden a couple of days ago. Mr.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: President, will you deploy more U.S.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Troops to the Middle East? Now the audio wasn't great there,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: but Biden shouts over the airplane noise, no, at the reporter. No,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: he won't deploy more troops to the Middle East. But
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the very next day, the very day after he said that,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon announced that a few thousand U.S. troops are
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: deploying to the Middle East. So clearly Biden's not in charge.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Members of the Tennessee, South Dakota, Indiana, and Nevada National
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Guards are deploying to the Middle East amidst the catastrophic flooding.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile, members of the Georgia National Guard just deployed
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: to Poland, which of course borders Ukraine. Where are our
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: leaders' priorities? And it's not just Democrats we're talking about here.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Per Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, Mitch McConnell represents
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a large swath of Appalachia. In the last week, McConnell
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: has tweeted about the UN, Israel, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Hezbollah,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and defense spending, but not a word about Helene or
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: North Carolina or flooding or help for dying Appalachians. There's
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a pattern in the Uniparty. $ 5 million to East Palestine,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: $ 3 billion to Maui. No financial aid yet confirmed for
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Hurricane Helene, but Ukraine, $ 200 billion. Israel, $ 50 billion.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: The U.S.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Military, National Guard, and FEMA are failing. The Biden administration
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: is failing. And they're actively prioritizing non-Americans over our own
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: in a crisis. This should be Kamala Harris's Katrina moment.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: as John Daniel Davidson has pointed out in that article.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Her staged photo pretending to work on the disaster response,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: but her earbuds weren't plugged in to her phone and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: she was taking notes on a blank piece of paper.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: We covered that yesterday. Meanwhile, FEMA's nowhere to be found.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: They're too worried about DEI to do their damn job.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: National Guardsmen in the Middle East, money and resources going
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to illegals, Biden sleeping on a beach, Kamala's too busy
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: trying to amass more power. I want you all to
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: take a listen. to Tim Walz's closing remarks last night.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: Kamala Harris is bringing us a new way forward. She's
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: bringing us a politics of joy. She's bringing real solutions
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: for the middle class. And she's centering you at the
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: heart of that, all the while asking everyone, join this movement,
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: make your voices heard. Let's look for a new day
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: where everybody gets that opportunity and everybody gets a chance
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: to thrive.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: That's what we're being built. A new way forward. with
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the woman that's currently in power. Either one, she has
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the power to do all the things that she's promising
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: right now, especially because our current president is senile. She's
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a de facto leader. Or two, she doesn't have the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: power because neither she nor Biden are really in charge.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And if that's the case, why vote for her? The
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: issue here and in this election is so much more
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: existential than the individual candidates. What we are fighting is
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a machine, a permanent state that gets its way no
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: matter who the people elect. Why else would American politicians,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: supposedly accountable to the people, prioritize foreign aid over disaster
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: spending affecting millions of Americans? Kamala Harris risked her own
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: re-election by continuing, or I guess her election as president,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: by continuing to send more money to Ukraine. It's terrible optics.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: So why do it? And the same goes for Mitch McConnell.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: He's silent on his own constituents' needs, but vocal about
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: conflicts on the other side of the world. And the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: answer is simple. There's money in war. When the true
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: power players in this country aren't beholden to the people,

  Speaker 1: migrants that pose national security risks, drive up rent while
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: devaluing American labor. We are not the priority. And this
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: is not what the founders envisioned. We deserve better. And
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that's why I didn't like the conciliatory, polite tone that J.D.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Vance took. The stakes are too high. The playing field
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: is too uneven for that. Maybe in a bygone era.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: But we're living in a brave new world and the
• 34:57

  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like

  Speaker 5: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
