Quote:Transcript

they look at Trump as a vampire and they
put a stake in his heart but they're
afraid that that stake could come out
any time that he's on dying and they're
afraid of him they are terrified of you
know why they're terrified of him
because they think he's smarter this
time and he has just cause to really get
angry because of what they did to him
they can write all of the Atlantic
Monthly and they can write all the New
Yorker clever glib little essays about
Donald Trump was a threat to democracy
or they can write all their little Molly
ball time essays how clever and
Brilliant they were with their cabals
and their conspiracies to get rid of
them but deep down inside they know that
if the right ever did that to Barack
Obama or Joe Biden they could have
really made something out of the fact
that Barack Obama had a hot mic expose
where he told the president of Russia
you tell Vladimir that I will be
flexible on missile defense that's the
security of the United States of America
if he gives me space in my last election
and Putin did do that that's an
impeachable offense if a phone call to
Ukraine is so they didn't understand
that that the right could have done that
to them and they understand now the
right probably will do that to them for
their own Survival and they are scared
they're saying if a mega candidate wins
and they win the house and the Senate
we're cooked because they're going to
get special prosecutors and they're
going to go after the Biden family like
they' never gone after anybody and
they're going to find stuff cuz we know
Joe is crooked and then they're going to
go after Mary Garland and they're going
to go after mayoras and they're not
going to stop and that's why they're
scared and they're going to do any
...

everybody thinks that the danger passed
they got what they wanted no no no no no
you're never going to see anything like
what they're going to do in
2024 all this could have been reconciled
all they had to do was say Donald Trump
should not be president if that's what
they believe and we're not going to do
any lawfare we're not going to try to
change the voting laws we're not going
to pack the court we're not
going to let in two states we're not
going to try to abolish the Senate filibuster
we're not going to try to
change the uh voting ID laws we're just
going to play under under the rules that
we have we don't need $419 Million by
Mark zukerberg Infuse we don't need Sam
Bankman Freed the crook giving US 1
million we're not going to go under the
radar with George we're just going to
show you the American people how we
think Donald Trump should not be
president and we'll have a feral and
they can't do that they don't trust
themselves they think you know what
anybody in his right mind would close
that border right now close the border
anybody in his right mind would recall
all of those DA's that have destroyed
these major cities anybody in his right
mind would not beg the Saudis or the
Venezuelans or the Russians or the
Iranians to pump oil on the eve of a
midterm or drain this strategic
petroleum when you have so much natural
gas and oil in the ... nobody in their right
mind would do that and nobody in their
right mind would ever just pull out of
Afghanistan without warning just so Joe
Biden can say that on the 20th
anniversary of 911 or the original
October uh invasion of Afghan I'm the
president that got us out nobody would
do that and nobody would print $6
trillion when there's an pint up demand
post-covid lockdown down and there's a
supply chain disruption and throw that
money without any audit or examination
of who got it and why and how it was
spent but to inflate the economy and
ruin it nobody would do that and so they
know that and they know that they can't
take that record to the American people
they have a deductive mind because
they're ideologues so they start with a
premise that we're for social justice
and for Equity of result and so we're
morally Superior and smarter than
anybody else and therefore we are
entitled to do things that other people
don't do and so if under the cover of
covid and frightening people about covid
we can change all the voting laws so
that 30% instead of voting absentee and
early voting shall become 70% in the
states with very little audit of the
level necessary to authenticate most
ballots they just do all this stuff
because they start with the deductive
principle we are better this is the
vision and therefore the following must
happen and if things don't fit the
narrative then they go after the person
they censor ... that's how they work
and if you keep that in mind then
everybody makes sense and what I'm
saying is they go on from one lie to the
next so everybody now knows that Donald
Trump we just discussed it was impeached
for things that Joe Biden got away with
okay everybody knows the laptop was
authentic everybody knows that now
everybody knows it would have made a big
difference on that debate When Donald
Trump said it was and Joe Biden said no
no no 51 authorities everybody knew that
Dinko and Charles or whatever his name
Dolan and Christopher Steel were frauds
and especially Glen Simpson and that
Hillary Clinton took over an old never
Trumper file inflated it with a million
bucks got the FBI on it to hire
Christopher Steel as a consultant informant
hid her so-called legal expenses
and she was fined and cited for that
violation through Perkins Coe Fusion GPS
DNC and that that file was fraudulent it
was made up I said that from the first
thing I saw it everything in it was
false and yet we wasted 22 months and
$40 million to know it was obvious no
apology in fact not only no apologies
they got Pulitzer Prize winners some
of the reporters every time they give
these monstrous lies there's no
apologies they just ... and and why should
they because in their way they're just
narratives they're postmodern fukan laan
derah Nar narratives they were useful so
that's what they look back well they
were useful at the time because when we
went through the Mueller investigation
when we went through the laptop we
crippled Donald Trump and therefore we
were able to stop him we had anonymous
... he was burrowed deep into the
homeland security he was a minor
official but we said he was one of the
major operatives in the Trump administration
we lied and then we printed as op-ed cuz
it did what it was supposed to do it
weakened this right-wing agenda so they
think and we got Admiral Mcraven and he
came in and wrote an op-ed and said Trump
should leave the sooner the better and
then we got all of the four stars
Mcaffrey Mccristal all of them to say
that Trump was Hitler that he was mellan
that he was a liar that he was danger we
got mark Millie to call the Chinese we
did all of this and yes we do not want
this to be done to us if right now a
retired four-star General says that Joe
Biden is senile or he's dangerous or the
Afghanistan is a disaster and he should
be removed sooner or later or his
weaponization of the DOJ or the FBI is
Musolini-like or his hounding of
individual people at school boards or
the way he conducted The Marlago Raid is
remnant of it's nail like and I'm just
quoting from what they've said you know
what's going to happen to those people
you're going to get Merrick Garland to call
up a pentagon and they're all going to
be slapped with a code 88 uniform code
of military Justice and they're going to
be Court marshalled for disparaging the
commander-in-chief trust me they would
in 2 seconds and that's not going to
happen first they're not going to say
anything because they're not equally
going to apply their standards of
correct behavior on the part of the ... and
second all they're going to say
something with Donald Trump because they
know that that the media and the
Pentagon are not going to do anything to
them now oh man they would they would
destroy them if they ever criticize the
commander in chief they would go after
him like you wouldn't believe and they
know that and so what we're talking
about I guess to sum up and end this
they understand deterrence they are
saying to the American people we are
SOBs we're capable of everything and
anything now which side do you want to
be on because if you're on our side you
can do what Hunter Biden is there's no
consequences if you want to say that the
voting machines are crooked like Jill
Stein go ahead she did in 2016 if you
want to be Barbara Boxer and 32 Democrats
and say you know what we're not going to
certify the Ohio count and hold up the
whole election we're going to try to do
that don't worry they got they did it in
2004 if you're Al Gore and the registar
and the attorney general says well the
votes have been counted and they have
been certified in Florida oh no we're
going to sue we're going to sue and hold
up the entire election for a month and
so you can do all of that as long as
you're on our side but if you don't do
that and you want to go on the other
side then you're going to be in big
trouble that's that's the message that
they're trying to say that's what we're
really getting down to join The Winning
Side it's sort of like in the Soviet
Union if you're part of the nomenclature
and you join the party you're exempt if
you're not well you're on your own
people say to me well you're an academic
and you spent your whole life how did
you deal with those 94% of all academics
are leftwing and I'm just using that
percentage because that's a percentage
of those who give money to political
campaigns 94% go to leftwing or
Democratic causes and and they said why
are they so leftwing is it they have
tenure they're exempt from the worrying
about losing their job they have
guaranteed step increases they have a 9
Month work year is it because they teach
their one or two classes a semester what
is it that makes them are they
idealistic CU they deal with words or I
didn't I said no no no no they
understand with if you want to be get
tenure and you want to be promoted and
you want to be liked you just parrot the
majority cause if it paid better they'd
be fascist
