Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Okay, a serious question for all you Trump supporters, MAGA supporters.
I have a question for you. Is there anything that this man can do to turn you off from him?
Anything. What would he have to say?
What crime would he have to be accused of or convicted of?

(00:22):
Is there anything on the earth that would have to happen to him where you would
go, hmm, maybe he's not who he claims to be? Is there anything?
Because if there isn't, that kind of makes him like a god, like all powerful,
all knowing, and that he's not flawed in any way.

(00:46):
Oh, and by the way, he can tell you exactly what he wants you to do,
and you won't question it.
You know, I've done videos like this before, but I'm going to keep doing it.
It always cracks me up when somebody comes into your comments,
and instead of telling you where you're wrong, instead of explaining to you

(01:09):
how you completely missed the point, they just attack.
Could we just all understand that when somebody attacks, it means they've already lost the argument.
If they could counter what you said, they would counter what you said.
But because they can't, they attack your character, they attack your intelligence,

(01:34):
they do anything in their power to make you feel bad.
Because if they can make you feel bad, then somehow that means they've won.
So I keep hearing Trump supporters say, we like Trump because he's an outsider.

(01:54):
He's going to go into Washington and he's going to drain the swamp.
Well, we have four years of what he did.
And not only did he not drain the swamp, He surrounded himself with Washington
insiders, most of whom have either turned against him or who have been accused of crimes.

(02:17):
He lies like a politician. He comes up with fake programs like a politician,
you know, like he's going to come out with a health care plan in three weeks.
I mean, this man in every way, shape or form.
Is a Washington insider. Prove me wrong.

(02:41):
Again, I'm going to keep saying this and saying this.
How does Trump expect to win in the exact same environment that he claims he lost?
Remember, his claim, his assertion,
which is a lie, is that the election was stolen by Joe Biden. it.

(03:01):
Now, last time I checked, the laws haven't changed.
The voting machines haven't changed.
The counties haven't changed. And he's running again under the same system.
I think that this kind of tells you that he already knows the truth.
And the truth is there was no fraud.

(03:23):
That's why he's running under the same system.
How else could he do it? Would you
run under the same system that you were convinced was a fraud? I wouldn't.
I've been kind of sharing with you my journey of essential tremors.
This is the shake that I have.
And I have to tell you, recently, it's been getting a lot worse.

(03:47):
In fact, I'm having a hard time typing now.
And so I've resorted to the voice command system with Mac.
And actually, I'm pretty impressed.
I'm able to do, I'd say 95% of what I need to do, just speaking numbers to the computer.

(04:08):
When I type, it's just, it's garbledy gook. I can't even understand it.
And typing is a major part of my job.
I don't know how I would have ever survived without the technology we have have today.
But all I can say is thank goodness.

(04:29):
All right, here's one of my favorites. I accused Trump of lying.
I point out where he lied.
And you know what the response is almost every time? They all lie.
All politicians lie.
Wait a minute. He's not supposed to be a politician. politician.
He's supposed to be a Washington outsider.

(04:51):
He's not supposed to do what all politicians do.
And now when he's accused of doing those things that politicians do,
you excuse it away with things that politicians do.
I can't even handle it. The hypocrisy, the madness.

(05:13):
Why don't you just admit he lies, okay? Just admit it.
Stop saying other politicians lie and then in the same sentence,
tell me we like him because he's not a politician.
You know, this is a completely different post than normal, but I was over at

(05:35):
somebody's house the other day and they have young kids.
And wow, I was just exhausted in five minutes watching these little kids dart
around. and I, I can't believe we did this.
I can't believe that my wife and I had four kids and they were all young.

(05:57):
I, I don't know how any parent does it. There, there's no manual.
And I got to tell you, these two parents were doing just a masterful job,
but I'll bet you at night when they go to sleep, they are so exhausted.
The only thing I want to say to you parents out there fighting the battle is

(06:18):
there will come a time when you miss those young children, when you miss those young eyes,
when you miss their cuteness, because I'm here to tell you, they don't stay cute.
The reason they are cute is so you have more of them, but pretty soon they're
going to get stinky and they're going to get hairy and they're just going to

(06:42):
want your money. So cherish these moments if you can.
We may have seen it the other day. I did a video about Trump's lies and somebody
came in to my DMs and they said, Biden lies way more than Trump.
And I issued to them a challenge. Now, remember, I'm not a Biden supporter.

(07:05):
I just cannot support a man who is tearing our country apart with election lies.
And who lies as much as Trump. I'm a lifelong documented conservative.
I've documented on the radio as a conservative for 25 years.
But the point is that this person wanted to tell me that Biden lies more than Trump.

(07:31):
And so I said, let's play a game. And I will offer this game up to any of you.
You tell me a Biden lie, and then I will tell you a Trump lie.
And we'll just keep going like that and we'll see who runs out first who's up
who's up for the game anybody.
