Speaker 1:

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to. It is now dumber for having listened to it. You don't know what that ought is, mr Trash, I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fucking blind. If I were the man I was five years ago.

Speaker 2:

I'd take a flamethrower to this place, do you?

Speaker 1:

understand the words that are coming out of my mouth. You want answers. I think I'm entitled. You want answers. I want the truth.

Speaker 2:

You can't handle the truth. Oh, we've said it once, we've said it twice, we've said it a million times the truth shall only set you free. This is, tim, get off my lawn. The mad ramblings of a Gen Xer. Oh, it's said it once, we've said it twice, we've said it a million times the truth shall only set you free. This is Tim, get off my lawn. The mad ramblings of a Gen Xer. Oh, it's the threat to democracy. It's always the Republicans.

Speaker 2:

Well, when Joe Biden drops out of the 2024 presidential election and 14 million Democrats have already voted him in, and you now have this letter from Biden saying he is out of the race, that is the ultimate threat to democracy. Why? Because you're no longer going to go by the will of the people. You're no longer going to go by the rule of the land. You are going to potentially have an open convention. Biden, in his letter, in his bombshell letter, did not sit there and actually endorse Kamala Harris. So the liberals are always blaming Trump as a threat to democracy. It's a threat to democracy. Well, this to me seems like an actual threat to democracy. Those that do not know, joe Biden has officially dropped out of the race. He posted a letter on Twitter about 15, 20 minutes ago.

Speaker 2:

I a a letter on Twitter, uh, about 15, 20 minutes ago, and the the letter reads my fellow Americans, over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a nation. Well, not really. Today, american has the strongest economy in the world. You know, you, you can tell that he he still has dementia. Uh, we've made historic investments in rebuilding our nation and lowering prescription drug prices for seniors and expanding affordable health care to a number of Americans. Really, because I need to have a procedure and for some reason it's not covered. We provided critical needs and care for millions of veterans who exposed as toxic substances, passed the first gun safety law in 30 years and appointed the first African-American woman to the Supreme Court. Yes, because we in this nation we go by diversity, equity, inclusion. We saw how well that worked out for the Secret Service and passed some of the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been in a better position to lead where we are.

Speaker 2:

Wow, this poor guy. He really does need some help. I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcome months in the century pandemic Not because of you, but that's all right and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We protected and preserved our democracy and we revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world. Wow, this guy, I love it. This guy makes Superman look like a pussy.

Speaker 2:

It's also been the greatest honor of my life to serve as president. While it's been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and solely focus on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. I will speak to the nation later this week you should speak to them tonight, idiot in detail about my decisions. For now, let me express my deepest gratitude for all those who have worked so hard to see me re-elected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work, and let me express my heartfelt appreciations of the American people for the faith that you have trusted and placed in me. I believe today I will have, and there is nothing America can't do when we do it together. You are the biggest divisive person there is. Just remember we are the United States of America. Oh, dear Lord.

Speaker 2:

You know, last weekend you had the attempted assassination of President Trump. This weekend you have the dropping out of Joe Biden, and it had to be done this weekend because the ballots for Vegas are actually due on Friday. So it had to be this weekend. So now everything's up in the tizzy because he has not come out and endorsed Kamala Harris. There is no direct correlation about what's going on or who's going to be the person that's going to come out and lead this direction and lead us into the next adventure for the Democratic Party. I mean. My question about this is this If he's not fit to run for another four years, how is he fit to lead this country? He said multitudes of times the only way that I would step aside, as if my doctors came out and said there was something physically wrong with me or some ailments that would preclude me from doing this. Okay. So is that still the case? Or was that just bullshit? Or were you just, you know, were you just being a bullshitter? Because if that's the case, if you can't run for re-election, how the hell are you going to be able to run the country for till November?

Speaker 2:

They're talking about eligible candidates right now of Kamala Harris, governor Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer, all three of them. I'm not even afraid of it, you know. But it's weird, though, because in order to become a candidate, someone must receive signatures from at least 300 delegates. So at a convention, uh, a delegate can vote for their conscience. They can vote for. They can, they can, they can go against the will of the people in their state and vote with their conscience. So I think that's going to be real. It's going to be real interesting.

Speaker 2:

Coming up for this Democratic convention, I mean, I don't know, I don't know where you go. You even have some idiots floating Pete Buttigieg. What has Pete done besides screw up everything that he's ever touched? Same thing with Harris. Same thing with Whitmer. Same thing with Gavin. I want Gavin Newsom to run because I want Trump to use the shit chart. I want him to pull, you know, pull out the old shit chart and say, hey, you remember this from your debate with the governor of Florida, remember that. You remember the Ron DeSantis debate. Here we go, here's the shit chart. Now let's expand this over the entire country.

Speaker 2:

We've just come to a point in the last two weeks where it's just I don't know. I don't know how to describe this. I mean, politically. We knew when he got elected that it was totally the wrong way. It's totally the wrong way. Oh, now I'm seeing that Biden has come out and endorsed Kamala Harris. We see that this news is breaking left and right, it's all over the place. So it has come out that she, he, has endorsed Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2:

Um, but is that going to be the will of the party, because at this moment in time, it is going to be whom these delegates select, and is it going to be part of the fact that? Is it going to be the majority? I mean, kamala Harris had a call with the donors on Friday, which I thought was which everyone thought was weird. And the donors right now pretty much are the ones the Democratic donors, the liberal donors right now to me, are the ones that are running the Democratic Party, because without that cash, there is a $250 million war chest that will have to be basically returned if they do not go with Kamala Harris. And we all know, we all know Democrats, they're, they're very, they're very big on the money, they're very big on the cash. So it's just kind of weird that you know.

Speaker 2:

And then the question is going to be what about the vice president? How are we going going to be? What about the vice president? How are we going to go through this election of the vice president? Because the vice president has that we have. No, we have no contender. We have no Democratic ticket. This is all because of the Democratic revolt after that disastrous debate.

Speaker 2:

Let's, let's all just be honest. It's, it's, it's just on that, be honest. It's just on that, that alone, and the fact that he has had more issues and he's had more problems physically and mentally over the last I don't know three and a half years. But when you hide a candidate in the basement and run a shadow campaign, like they did three and a half years ago, for a person that even back then did not have the mental acuity to be president, there's something wrong with our democracy. There's something wrong with the fact that the Democrats like to sit there and pontificate about how the Republicans are going to be the death of democracy. Well, they're doing everything, the Democrats, that a banana republic would do they install the figurehead, they install the puppet as president for three and a half years and then they turn around. And now that he's opting out, are they going to install Kamala Harris, who is more? Let's be honest, there's not much up there in the Kamala Harris dome. There's a lot of dust bunnies floating around.

Speaker 2:

We think that Joe Biden is long-winded and can't complete a sentence and can't finish a direction in reference to his thoughts and his conversations. She's even worse and she has this tendency of talking to people literally like they are Three-year-olds, and even three-year-olds can't stand her. But, like I said, there is tons of legal constraints right now that would preclude Democrats from running anyone else but Kamala Harris. And, like I said, the first thing we got to talk about is the election war chest that would have to go back If you picked another candidate. That's got to go back. There is a mutiny. There is an issue. There is an issue when you have Nancy Pelosi and both Chuck Schumer warning about Biden's bleak polling and how he should drop out of the race, when Obama's basically said he should drop out of the race.

Speaker 2:

We have reached a point in the nation where we have to make a step, we have to take a direction. We have to take a direction, we have to figure this out and while I don't think that the election was stolen from Trump last year, I do think there was some anomalies in the election itself that have to be looked at and this mail-in voting is definitely one of them. We're not gonna be able to fix it now, but I have a problem with. I live in the great state of Pennsylvania and at one point in time Trump was up like 26,000 votes and the polling that's closed. 95% of all the districts had reported in and then, for some weird reason, 36,000 votes were found, all for Biden. And the reason, I point out, is weird.

Speaker 2:

I have a friend that is a professor, he's a mathematician over at Penn and he mentioned to me he says, tim, the statistical anomaly of that happening is almost impossible that you would find 30 plus thousand votes and not one of them would be for Trump. And I asked him, I said well, I don't know, sounds like it's possible to me. He says it's not plausible. The human error alone would account for 2% in reference to people going down ballot on their votes. And he goes. And then you have to add another 2.5% for the people counting the votes At least. No, that's right. He said 1.5%, you have to add another 1.5%. So he goes by math, and I always love it. That's not the way you're supposed to do it, dad. They want us to do it this way?

Speaker 1:

I don't know that way. Why would they change math? Math is math.

Speaker 2:

That is math, math is math. And he even said you, you cannot get around that. This is a statistical anomaly that not one vote, even by error, went to, went to trump. That was like in the great city of philadelphia during obama's last election. Almost. I think at one point in time, every single vote in the city of philadelphia went to obama and even again he's like that's a statistical anomaly. He goes. You have to have, you have to count in the human error. At least one person would accidentally push the wrong button. There is no way this would be perfect by the amount of ballots casted in the bout of the amount of ballots counted, because you have to take into the fact of human error.

Speaker 2:

I'm not saying anything, but I am just throwing that out there. So do I think our democracy is at stake right now? Yes, because, lord knows, because the Democrats aren't about making your life better, they are about staying in power. They are about making as much money not all of them, a good portion of making as much money as you possibly can, because it's amazing that Nancy Pelosi's husband and Nancy Pelosi has never made a bad stock trade making as much money as humanly possible to take care of themselves. And I'm not saying I'm not saying the Republicans are not into money, into this, but if you take a look at the long side of it, democrats have always been the one that are. They always talk about it and preach about being being the party of the people.

Speaker 2:

But the problem is this they never really say what they mean and mean what they say, because there's always some it's. It's. It's like the affordable care act. It's all about the Affordable Care Act. It's all about making healthcare more affordable for everyone. Well, but you know, we're going to sneak in the student loan thing and we're going to control the student loan market and we're going to knock out a private industry and then we're going to be able to control all the debt, bring in all that money, all that resources for the government and, at some point in time, use it as a political pawn to buy votes in an election. It's the same thing with electric cars. It's the same thing with climate change.

Speaker 2:

So I always think to myself, when you hear a Democrat talk, what is the bottom line? What is the backdoor issue going to be? Because there's always the backdoor issue. There's always something they are going to be. Because there's always the backdoor issue. There's always something they are going to and there is a portion of the population that is not that intelligent because they see that shiny object. They're like a cat, like ooh, what's the shiny object? Democrats put it in the front of their face and, as they're watching the shiny object, they're going in and reaching behind you and taking all the money out of your pocket. Just look at the Trump tax cuts, which are set to expire in 2025, which, if they do, watch your checks go down.

Speaker 2:

Oh, this is going to be fun the next couple days, so make sure you stay tuned. And we've said it once, we've said it twice, we've said it a million times the truth is free of the stem skin off my lawn. The mad realm is a legitimate truth and I'm out of here.

Speaker 1:

You don't know what that ought is, mr Trash, I'd show you. But I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fucking blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a flamethrower to this place. Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? You want answers. I think I'm entitled. You want answers. I want the truth. You can't handle the truth. Thank you.
