We 8 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.359 are against Steve heywardless because Steve has yet to return 9 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.920 from his foreign travels abroad it so it's just Lucretia 10 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.960 and I getting back to basics. How you doing, Lucretia, 11 00:00:58.439 --> 00:00:59.439 I'm doing well? 12 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.960 Thanks Jo? How about you? And do you think Steve's 13 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.959 over there smoking pot or you know, doing some sort 14 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.480 of heroin derivative or something. Isn't that what Amsterdam used 15 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.239 to be famous for? Yes? 16 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.359 For those of those not following Steve's travels, Steve is 17 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.959 such a millennial. He takes pictures of everywhere he goes, 18 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.280 so you know exactly where he is at all times. 19 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.480 And right now he's in Amsterdam and posting his Facebook 20 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.120 and posting photos of him eating, drinking, falling into the canals. 21 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.640 I actually love Amsterdam, but I've not been there in 22 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.040 a while. I love to see. I spent the summer 23 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.400 there teaching at the Free University of Amsterdam, which actually 24 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.200 will get us into a topic we're going to talk 25 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.280 about at the end, because you might ask, why is 26 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.280 it called the Free University of Amsterdam. There's also a 27 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.040 University of Amsterdam. There was also a Free University of Berlin, 28 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.519 and there's a university but there's This is kind of 29 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.319 interesting gets to a topic we're talking about in our 30 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.560 philosophy corner at the end, because Lucretia has posted an 31 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.560 interesting paper up on substack which raises the question about 32 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.159 natural rights and what is freedom, so which you'll get 33 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.039 to that at the end. 34 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.960 Okay, I'm looking forward. What do you got before me 35 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.680 for then? What have you got for me before then? 36 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.280 So we got a number of really interesting topics to 37 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.439 talk about this week. I mean, the hits never stopped coming. 38 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.560 But I think one thing we might talk about would 39 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.759 be the second assassination attempt on President Trump. We hosted 40 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.759 our last episode right before on Saturday of last week, 41 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.759 and the second assassination TEP was on Sunday, I recall 42 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.199 this is a fellow who was scoping out President Trump 43 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.599 at his golf course actually managed to lie and wait 44 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.240 for eleven hours with an AK forty seven style assault rifle, 45 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.960 a rifle he doesn't get a shut off. Apparently the 46 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.360 Secret Service saw him and shot at him. Somehow got 47 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.479 into you know, a Nissan, and drove took off on 48 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.639 the highway and wasn't captured till afterwards. So, Lucretia, what 49 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.479 are your thoughts about this second assassination attempt of what 50 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.000 is going on with the Secret Service? This is Do 51 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.479 you think that there I've read a lot of people 52 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.759 who are raising doubts about whether the Biden administration is 53 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.400 actually providing this, saying the sufficient amount of coverage and 54 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.280 protection to their main incumb of their main challenger, who 55 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.840 they also accuse of being an existential threat to democracy. 56 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.759 Yeah, it's I don't even know where to start with that. 57 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.280 Since we're not live this time, John, I don't have 58 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:49.960 on my designer Cowboy Tinfolk Cowboy Head America, but I 59 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.639 actually do have some I don't even think their conspiracy 60 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.960 conspiracy facts. I think that they're just a little bit 61 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.120 hard to square with everything that's going on in the 62 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.719 first place. Did you know John that both Routh Ruth? 63 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.960 However you say his name, I can never remember bad 64 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:14.039 people's names. I remember yours. John that he and Crooks, 65 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:19.519 Crooks was the first assassin, were both pro Ukrainian. Okay, 66 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.560 that's no big deal. There's a lot of people like that. 67 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.720 We'll talk in a moment about the second guy's extraordinary 68 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.519 relationship with Ukraine. But they were both in blackrock videos. 69 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:32.199 Is that true? 70 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.399 It is true. I've seen the videos, and I know 71 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:36.480 those things can be faked, but I've seen them from 72 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.680 multiple sources. So yes, they were both in the first one. 73 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.279 The first guy, Crooks, they came to his high school 74 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.759 and he was in a couple of different scenes in 75 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.480 a promotional video. And then the second one was a 76 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.160 pro Ukrainian video, and Ruth featured prominently in that video 77 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.680 as well. The other thing is is that people have said, again, 78 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.560 you know, it's always a little bit. You got to 79 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.600 take these things with a grain of salt. The fact 80 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.279 that the mainstream media is ignoring them makes me think 81 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.759 it's true, because otherwise they'd be trying to debunk it. 82 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.800 He's shown up at more than one of Kamalama ding 83 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:19.399 Dong's rallies being busted in by the campaign, which I'm 84 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.879 assuming you know that one too, That approximately five thousand 85 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:30.079 cell phones have been traced to both the Arizona kam 86 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.519 Lama ding Dong rally and the Georgia one, And so 87 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:38.079 they're buzzing in the same people to her rallies to 88 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.839 get enough of a crowd size because you know how 89 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.879 Trump is obsessed with crowd size, right, So anyway, so 90 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.560 there's thing one make of that what you will. I 91 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.399 do think that the more interesting thing about the second 92 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.720 assassination is how this guy, who is a pretty much 93 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.120 a nutjob. I mean, there's no doubt about that. He 94 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.800 just seems nutty, Nuttia's heck, but one of those smarter 95 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:10.120 than average nutty guys who has delusions of grandeur. I 96 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:15.959 actually had to get an investigation FBI investigation of a professor, 97 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.199 an adjunct professor that someone encouraged me to hire that 98 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.959 turned out to be just as nutty as this guy, 99 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.800 but with respect to China anyway, so I'm familiar with 100 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.480 the type, you know, promises everything, et cetera, et cetera. 101 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.240 The guy, though, traveled to Ukraine on no apparent means, 102 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.680 and he builds little houses, cheap little houses, and that 103 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.639 went under no apparent means, has something like a fifty 104 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.839 page rap sheet in North Carolina before he moved to Hawaii, 105 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:52.680 was among other things, indicted and charged, I think, convicted 106 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.279 of having a weapon of mass destruction. They haven't told 107 00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.480 us what that is, but it's just some serious, serious 108 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.319 kinds of flags. And he's never been stopped flying back 109 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.879 fourth from Hawaii, excuse me, or flying into Ukraine, meeting 110 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:16.439 with Ukrainian officials. All of that's really really suspicious to me. 111 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.720 I am one of those people who don't who believes 112 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.040 that there is no such thing as a coincidence, and 113 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.920 so I don't know what to make of all of that. 114 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.439 I just thought maybe some of our listeners out there 115 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.560 do know. They've had more time to follow it than 116 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.079 I have. But yeah, the guy's just fishy as hell. 117 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.079 Back to your The thing about the first assassination. The 118 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.800 thing I find the most objectionable about the whole report 119 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:46.240 on the Butler assassination attempt is how what's his name? Roe? 120 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.040 Is it Roe? Is he the guy that's ahead. 121 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.319 Of the Secret Service, Yes, the acting head. 122 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.160 Yes, acting head, how he's willing to throw his people 123 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.439 under the bus and say it's all their fault, which 124 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.279 I suppose you have to do, because if you took 125 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.720 any kind of while this was I was responsible, I 126 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.279 should resign Da da da da da. Then people would 127 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.720 start saying, oh, why were you responsible? Why did this 128 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.839 go all the way to the top, and exactly why 129 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:23.879 couldn't you the most prestigious protection federal protection company in 130 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.399 the world, what I know, what you call it, three 131 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.959 letter agency, whatever you call it, can't protect a guy 132 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.480 on a golf course, can't protect a guy in a 133 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.399 rally by just sweeping the perimeter within easy line of 134 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.279 sight to where he's speaking. All of those things are hard, 135 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.840 hard for me to even swallow. So I'll let you comment, 136 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.919 I'll let you undo my conspiracy theories. 137 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:51.639 John Well, one thing is you start to wonder about 138 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:55.480 the basic competence of the Secret Service. You know, they say, oh, 139 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.600 it's a golf course, hard to cover. They don't have drones, 140 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.399 they don't have dogs. I mean, I bet the Ukrainians 141 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.159 could have found the guy right like, just using a 142 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:10.639 few cheap drones and cameras. You know, it actually raises 143 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.159 a question for me. I think I mentioned in the 144 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.120 last episode was why isn't the military in charge of 145 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.600 the Secret Service? You know, why are we using people 146 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.039 who are probably you know, they are domestic law enforcement 147 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.720 officers when you know, the military obviously has to deal 148 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.639 with protecting assets and people all the time, and I 149 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.919 think probably are much better at this than the Secret 150 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.320 Service right now. So this is sort of on the 151 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.200 ground question when it comes to he says the other 152 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.559 and then the other comment I had was way at 153 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.679 the other end, which I thought you were going to address, 154 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:49.679 which is, even if there's no artists in bias or 155 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:54.399 partisanship going on in how the administration is allocating resources 156 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.639 of the Secret Service, I think it's a fair thing 157 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.639 to say they're rhetoric is contributing to the spikes and 158 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.720 political violence. I mean, these are President Biden says, you know, 159 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.039 political violence has no place in the United States. But 160 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.480 at the same time, he has called Donald Trump an 161 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:17.960 existential threat to democracy. Existential means right ending the existence 162 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.960 of democracy in the United States. And if you keep 163 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.720 using language like that, just as by the way, we 164 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:30.200 also saw someone arrested for threatening to assassinate Supreme Court justices. 165 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.000 Although it sounds like this was an old guy in 166 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.639 Alaska who was posting crazy things on the Supreme Court's 167 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.559 website or something, so it was easy to track him 168 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.639 down and he didn't actually do But if you also 169 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.519 fill the airwaves with attacks after attack on justices and 170 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.000 the Supreme Court, you're going to encourage some people, crazy 171 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.960 people to want to carry out assassination attempts. So that's 172 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.679 the thing I thought is notable here that you have 173 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.080 two assassinations times and you have the administration Democrats claiming 174 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.080 there should be no place for pol govins. But they're 175 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.000 the ones who are amping up the rhetoric that might 176 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.080 be setting the cultural environment for it. 177 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:19.080 I never forget actually blaming Trump for it, blaming because 178 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:23.720 Trump supposedly made the comments about our dear little cats 179 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:28.879 and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, which supposedly led it turns 180 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.240 out not to have been true, but supposedly led to 181 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:36.960 bomb threats. And they were called in from overseas Russia, Russia, Russia, 182 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:37.639 who knows. 183 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:38.080 But. 184 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.519 No credibility to them whatsoever. Yet, who is that guy? 185 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.240 I can see his face on CBS. I think he 186 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.080 is who Lester Holt who came out and said it's 187 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:55.039 Trump's fault for making those unfounded accusations and getting people 188 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.480 all riled up about immigrants. So what does he expect 189 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:02.559 is going to happen? It's ye believe it or not. John, 190 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.480 I'm a little bit hesitant to jump to that. I 191 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.559 get that there are nut jobs out there, and being 192 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.840 a leftist automatically means that you are a ideological, rabid hack. 193 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.360 Rabid ideological hack I think makes more sense in order 194 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.519 to believe any of that stuff to begin with. And 195 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.360 then I do think that they appeal to, you know, 196 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:31.039 the mentally unstable aspect of society because of you know, 197 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.120 the resentment that's part of leftist lore and all those 198 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:41.159 other things. So when the left makes comments like, you know, 199 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.200 he's a threat to democracy, he's the next Hitler. Of course, 200 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.759 why wouldn't you, if you're a little bit crazy, want 201 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.519 to assassinate Trump. You'd certainly want to go back and 202 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.799 assassinate Hitler. Right, That's that's the argument I am not. 203 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:59.360 I am not quite of the opinion that we hold 204 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.559 either side accountable for the things that they say and 205 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.960 the third order effects of those things. I get the argument. 206 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.919 I find it a little bit stretched. That guy is 207 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.279 responsible for it. That guy's responsible for his stupid ideas 208 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:21.559 about everything that he goes along with, including supporting Kamala Harris. 209 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:28.440 When they accused Sarah Palin of being responsible for Gabby 210 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.799 Gifford's assassination attempt, it had nothing to do with the 211 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.000 fact that she had put those target signs on the 212 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:41.360 different congressional races across the country and she tried to sue. 213 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.080 It looks like you've heard probably that she's got another 214 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:48.200 opportunity to make her case. She's been allowed again. But 215 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.639 you know, she's fighting a fight in the middle of 216 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:57.600 all this that says how much do we hold people 217 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.399 responsible for the things they say? If we concede that point, 218 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.600 are we conceding the silence is violence and speaking is 219 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.039 violence argument of the left. That's just my thoughts on it. John, 220 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.559 I actually agree with you, but I'm going to play 221 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.360 devil's advocate a little bit here. What do you think, 222 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.759 mister free speech guy? 223 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.600 Oh who? I would never say that they should be 224 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.360 in any way legally punished or anything like that for 225 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.960 these kinds of over the top statements about Trump and 226 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.320 being a threat to democracy. But you know this is 227 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:33.200 from the party that says, it's defending democracy. This is 228 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.600 from the party that claimed, you know, claims that they're 229 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.600 the ones who are trying to We're not going it's 230 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.720 trying to move us forward and away from chaos. And 231 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.240 yet their actions are destabilizing, and you would think that 232 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.120 they would they would conduct themselves in a more adult, 233 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.639 responsible manner. It actually reminds me in some ways of 234 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.600 Kambala Harris's conduct at the debate. I was going to 235 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.639 say first debate, but it may just be now the 236 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.200 debate the debate, right, She did not conduct herself in 237 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.039 a way to answer questions, treat the voters like adults, 238 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.200 give them answers to questions. She engages kind of taunting 239 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.080 gay exercise against Trump. So they I just struck by 240 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.519 how I'm just struck by how their political methods are 241 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.720 at odds with their playing of being. 242 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:24.679 And are you really stress? 243 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.639 I am? I expect better? 244 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.919 You do well, remember what Steve always says, I'll have 245 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.639 to at least quote Steve quoting the same thing over 246 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.000 and over again at least once since he's not here. 247 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.240 And that is, if the left had no stand or 248 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:42.039 had didn't have double standards, they would have no standards 249 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.039 at all. And I you know, here's the problem I think, 250 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.039 and this is why you're right and I'm wrong, John, 251 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.120 because I agree with everything you said. The problem is 252 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.240 is that we're just so used to accepting the idea 253 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.759 that the left is going to gaslight, the left is 254 00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:59.840 going to project to accuse the other side of doing 255 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:03.600 what they do, all of those things that we know 256 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.799 that the left does. And I don't know what you 257 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.159 do about it, I mean, other than bring it up 258 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.759 on the three Whisky Happy Hour along with this lovely 259 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.679 glass of McCallan I have here and try to get 260 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.639 more people to pay attention to the fact that they're 261 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.639 lying to us every day. There was a great article 262 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:24.480 really quickly by your friends, the American Mind publication out 263 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:31.639 of Claremont that listed listed all of the hoaxes that 264 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.360 the left has perpetrated and say, I'm going to say 265 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.320 since about twenty sixteen, because it started, of course with 266 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.559 the the PP dossier. Excuse my language, and just I 267 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.360 mean the list is like twenty five things long, and 268 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.840 some of them are pretty serious. You know. They include 269 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:52.799 everything from They'll find people hoax to Russia Russia Russia, 270 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:58.039 to you know, Hillary that Hillary's emails were stolen by 271 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.600 the Russians and it was Trump's fin and just it's 272 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.480 I should probably ask Steve to post that, because it's 273 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:09.519 amazing how much we have been treated to lies, dissembling, 274 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:14.039 gas lighting, disingenuousness. I don't know any you know, just 275 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:20.160 outright just disgusting, despicable, corrupt lies from the left because 276 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.680 that's how they get what they want. They convince enough 277 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.559 of those people in the middle. And by the way, John, 278 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.240 if you don't know who you're voting for now, you 279 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:35.279 are by definition a low information voter and probably shouldn't be. 280 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.480 But those are the people the left targets with these lies. 281 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.920 Look, I am sitting right now in Pennsylvania, which is 282 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.440 a wonderful experience because it's the only time I get 283 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.000 to watch campaign ads. I got to say, I think 284 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.880 when I was telling you guys last time, when I 285 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.759 was here for the APSA meeting two weeks ago, that 286 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.880 Harris had the better as in Trump. But how the 287 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.680 ads have completely changed in quality. The Trump ads are 288 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.680 really good. And you know whose ads are even better. 289 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.400 McCormick is the guy who's running for Senate against Bob Casey. 290 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.000 His ads are even better than Trump's. He is tying 291 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.799 Bob Casey, the incumbent Senate Democrats here, to Kamala Harris 292 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.680 so tightly, and then it's a great Every ad on 293 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:26.079 the radio I hear is just three quotes from Kamala Harris. 294 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.720 The first one is, of course, I would ban fracking. 295 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.000 The second one is, we're you know, we're spending too 296 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.559 much on police. We should study the structural racist origins 297 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.240 of policing. I mean, it's me. They just they have 298 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.680 identified the quotes and then they say, and now here's 299 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:46.440 her position allegedly, and it's just thirty seconds and they 300 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:50.000 play it whit And you know, Harris's ads are have 301 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.799 no substance to them. It's really interesting, Really, I think 302 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.039 the ads are really turned around. But as you say, 303 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.079 the latest polls show forty eight to forty eight here 304 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.400 in Pennsylvania. How can you not have it? How can 305 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:07.000 it be so even it's unbelievable. But before you before Lucretia, 306 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.640 let me stop you there. We got to take a 307 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.119 break for an ad. And then when we come back, 308 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.119 hear what you think about what's going on Pennsylvania. Also, 309 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.559 I wanted to throw at you. You just mentioned Russia. 310 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:26.240 Russia RuSHA welcome back everybody to our second post, second 311 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.359 post ad installment of the two Whiskey Happy Hour. We 312 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.920 have Lucretia and John minus Steve Hayward. So right before 313 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:39.240 we rite, right before the break, I was telling Lucretia 314 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:43.000 what's like to see campaign ads in Pennsylvania, and following 315 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:44.880 up on her point that how could anyone not have 316 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.440 an opinion between these two? By now you should be 317 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.960 you're by definition a low information voter. Yet Pennsylvania is 318 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.640 forty eight to forty eight percent. It's evenly tied according 319 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:55.680 to the Washington Post. 320 00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.119 No, well, okay, I don't trust the Washington Post, but 321 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.200 there are others like, yeah, slightly more respectable polls. It 322 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.759 still have it very very close across the board in 323 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.359 the battleground state. It's a popular voute. The whole thing. 324 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.720 I'll reiterate my point from before that because of shy 325 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.400 Trump voters, whatever else, a little bit of an error 326 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.720 in picking the sample and so on, that that Trump 327 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.119 tends to outperform the polls. Has outperformed the polls in 328 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.920 every single race he's been in. So I do think 329 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:35.000 that if the polls stay the way they are Kamalahamma 330 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:40.640 Kamalama Dingong is loses, right. I think she loses in Pennsylvania. 331 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.920 If the polls. If the polls show them tied, that 332 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.079 means Trump probably means. 333 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:48.720 Trump's probably going to win. What one of the things 334 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.640 that's very frustrating to a lot of us. But you know, 335 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.559 I cannot pretend, even for a moment to understand the 336 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.160 average voter. I'll just put it that way, don't I 337 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.000 don't people who do who are like us, who do 338 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.319 I am in awe of because I just don't get it. 339 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:09.680 I understand the rabid leftists a little bit anyway. I'll 340 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:13.440 leave it at that. But last week, as you know. 341 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:14.319 The. 342 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:19.759 Teamsters came out and refused, for the first time ever. 343 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.039 I'm to understand, right, refuse to endorse the Democratic candidate 344 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.359 for president. How much they have the fortunes of the 345 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:31.119 Democratic Party changed if that could happen. And I don't 346 00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:34.519 think it's just because she's Kamalama ding Dong and she's worthless. 347 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:40.240 I think it's because they couldn't possibly endorse Trump. But 348 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.839 even the leaders have to understand to some extent that 349 00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.039 Trump is better for the working class than Kamalama ding Dong. 350 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.759 I mean they have to. They have, you know, from 351 00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:54.400 so many different metrics. I don't know if the leaders 352 00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.640 themselves have come to that conclusion, but they can't completely 353 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.839 ignore the polls they've taken of their own union members. 354 00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:05.880 Sixty percent. Sixty percent of union members now support Donald Trump. 355 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.000 That has to be a reality in places like Pennsylvania, 356 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:14.400 John doesn't it, Or Wisconsin or Michigan or some of 357 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.720 the southern states that aren't right to work states. Right. 358 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:24.279 Pennsylvania is a funny state because it is for much 359 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:30.720 of the state is a Midwestern manufacturing state. Obviously, railroads, 360 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.119 oil and steel were a big part of the history 361 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.759 of the state. But it has this humongous liberal blue 362 00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.720 spot in it called Philadelphia my hometown, which is more 363 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.119 like is a Northeast corridor city, and so it's more 364 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:48.759 like Washington, Baltimore, New York, and Boston. And it used 365 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.519 to always be the joke that, you know, the election 366 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.119 officials in Philadelphia would wait to see the returns from 367 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.359 the rest of the state before they figured out how 368 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.839 many right, how many smokes they needed to produce a listeners. 369 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.599 Did everybody catch that? It used to be a joke. 370 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.240 Now it's reality. That's what he was supposed to finish 371 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:09.079 that sentence with, Oh. 372 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:11.640 Man, you're on me like you're on me like a 373 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:16.240 trial lawyer across examination, my hand on a bible and 374 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:16.920 take an oath. 375 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.279 I had a frustrating experience yesterday, I'll leave it at that, 376 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.799 and ended up having to be in a long car 377 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.480 ride with nothing to do but look at X and 378 00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:30.160 any of my followers, and X probably thought what the 379 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.720 heck happened to her? Because I was just live it 380 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.480 about everything that came across my feed. So I'm going 381 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.960 to try to be a little more calm today, not 382 00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:42.240 be quite as hard on you as I might otherwise. 383 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.720 I'm grateful to X and grateful for long car rides 384 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:49.920 so that I. 385 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.920 Got out of my system. I'll give you one really 386 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.759 quick example before we go back to the top of 387 00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.480 get hand, and there was a picture of Clarence Thomas, 388 00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:01.440 Justice Thomas next to his brand new RV. Looks all 389 00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.440 you actually see him is in the one of the pianels. 390 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:06.279 He's standing on the ground one of the panels to 391 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.359 the side that looks like it might be a mechanical panel. 392 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.359 I didn't pay that much attention. But Jen Rubin and 393 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:16.559 all these other slime balls, who paid for this? Oh, 394 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.680 he can buy a brand new RV after he went 395 00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:22.920 out and destroyed women. Is killing women and leaving them, 396 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:27.279 leaving their children without a mother because of his decision 397 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:32.279 in Roe versus Wade. It was these people, John, these people, 398 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.319 So Jen Rubin says, who paid for this? And I said, 399 00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:41.640 the US Constitution right, And then somebody came back and 400 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:46.799 said something stupid about the US Constitution was bent over 401 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.759
