Hey guys, if you're not following me on Spotify, please hit that follow button and leave a five-star review. They're both a huge, huge help. Thank you. I feel like a common theme outside of like some fucking elections that were happening that we've covered this year is the complete lack of touch, or loss of touch, I'm sorry, that we have seen, obviously, for a long time from the elite classes, obviously for a long time from the political classes within, but seeing as Donald Trump is currently the president, the complete loss of touch that he's had with reality. And I've said this before, but whether you loved or hated Donald Trump, and chances are it was not anything in between, it's really just kind of what it is. One thing about this guy, when you looked at him coming up in 2015 and then becoming president, and his first four years as president, and then even in the four years where he was trying to then mount a second run after he lost, one thing about him is he's always, he's always had an incredible feel for where the scales are in society. And what I mean by that is, let's say, I'm gonna throw out some random numbers here, let's say back in 2015, he saw internal polling before he came out down the escalator, that said that 53% of Americans were very, very concerned about illegal immigration. And let's just say, and I'm making this up right now, but let's just say the same poll said 47% of Americans were like, "Yeah, let's open up the borders." When he comes out and says, "Let's build a wall," and then says all the things about the raping, doing all this stuff, he knows 47% of people are going to viscerally hate him for saying that. Right. But he knows that 53% of people are gonna love him. And he knows how to hit that divide and just land on the side where you have the right fucking percentage, meaning above 50 to tip the scale, and therefore, win popular support. That is one thing that he was excellent at reading the social vibes on. Not to say, like, every issue he was right on by any stretch, obviously, that's not the case. But like, where are people's, like, pendulum swings at the moment? And in the past year, I say that because in the past year, past year and a half, we have watched this same guy go the complete opposite way on that, to the point that not only does he not have a feel for when, you know, actually, he's down, meaning, you know, maybe he's on the 47% side and he's not gonna be able to flip it to 53. But he doesn't even have a feel for the shit that's obvious, where he's on, like, the 20% side, or the 10% side. You want to look at situations like mass rape of elites with the Epstein Files? Oh, it's a democratic hoax. You want to look at situations like a country that we're funding in the Middle East, Israel, committing genocide and ethnic cleansing openly with our tax dollars, no less? Oh, well, I'll actually run for prime minister there and win, according to Donald Trump. You want to talk about all the problems we have at home that he promised to fix and to take care of Americans and be American first? Oh, let's send foreign aid to every war, including Ukraine. Remember that little tiff he had with Zelensky in the Oval Office early on? And then we just ended up funding him. Much more and much more. Remember when those people tried to kill him? Oh, I do remember that. Yeah, whatever happened to all that stuff? Yeah, what happened to that guy? Remember he got his ear shot off? I remember that. Yeah, well, that guy's dead, and dead men can't talk. What about the other dude? The dude that, like, charged the. Charged the hotel. Haven't heard from him in a while. Yeah. You want to go find him, Joey Deef? Let's see if we got something out there while I'm. Yeah, what's his name again? I don't even know his name. Cole Sprouse or something? No. No, that's Zach and Cody. Oh, shit. Sorry. Yeah, sorry, Cole. Yeah, my bad. That was a drive-by. Something was floating up in there. Yeah, that's a tough one. Joey Deef will find him. But Donald Trump also promised no endless wars. He said, you vote Kamala, you get Iran. He gave us Iran. Donald Trump was also talking about the freedoms that were being infringed upon. All Americans. And yet we've seen the charts of just flock cameras to begin with since day one of his administration to say nothing of all the companies below them, by the way, of a mass surveillance state forming. We watched him come out and give a press conference the day after he's inaugurated with fucking Larry Ellison and Sam Altman bringing in the techno elites that he just loves to be around now, even though these were supposedly the guys that hated him and that he was fighting against. We watched him allow a sale of like TikTok to go through to Ellison to say nothing of all the other media companies that he's bought, including Barry Weiss. They're fucking $200 million. He's not worth $200, but now she can be the gatekeeper over at CBS News and other places. It's like all these things that he said he wasn't going to represent, he represented. And to put it all together, he has taken on the issues that are supported by the very swamp that he always claimed he wanted to drain. And if it's not clear at this point, with the beautiful symbolism, by the way, Joey Deef of Wednesday Morning after the midterm blowout, if it's not clear that the guy who just lost cataclysmically so badly that they even lost the governorship and Senate race in Texas, if it's not clear where he stands, Donald Trump spent the next morning going out to brag about his ballroom that's, I think, you know, like probably a fucking Palantir honeypot. Did he actually? Yes, he did. Yeah, I have a link. We'll look at it later. To just remind you. That's good. How much he has lost touch. So I understand that people out there were fed up in 2024 and wanted to vote for Donald Trump. I have no problem with that. I fully get it. The last administration had serious problems for other reasons. Mass censorship. Let's open up all the borders forever and let everyone in. By the way, if you want to, if you don't want to take the vaccine, you're going to be canceled from society. You know, I. In fact, there's not two genders. There's forty nine and a half. Like these were the things that they were doing. And to say nothing of the fact Joe Biden wasn't even alive for four years while he's elected to be running the country like these are all bad things. And so the pendulum swung and people voted for what they expected to be the opposite of that. And it's true. We haven't seen mass censorship in the way that we got with Biden and the borders a little better. But. We created new problems with this, and now people have swung the pendulum back, which we'll talk about that tweet that J.D. Vance put out because pretty telling, obviously, way too little too late. But if you or your child spent years growing up on social media and experienced serious mental health struggles recently, a jury ordered META to pay millions for their role in designing and promoting addictive platforms, they knew their apps could contribute to anxiety. Depression and body image issues. But they didn't share those risks so they could prioritize profits. You remember the story, Joey, if we covered it. Oh, yeah. The recent historic verdict underscores the consequences of those decisions. And now law firms are stepping up to hold these platforms accountable for the damage that they've caused.

I'm not going to say where he is now, because I will kind of give it away, but I got a text from a guy who's like very firmly long time on on the left side of the aisle. And he was like, dude, I'm shocked on Wednesday morning. I'm like, why? Why are you shocked? He's like, I just I can't believe the Democrats won this many races. And this was the same guy who texted me on Wednesday morning in twenty twenty four after Donald Trump. One saying, dude, I'm shocked from, you know, the other side of it. And I gave him the same answer. Both sides. I'm like both times. I'm like, why are you shocked? This is exactly what it was lining up to be. Somebody massively fucked up. People will go and vote in the opposite. And people some people stay home because they're just so fucking sick of it. I mean, one of the really cool things about this show is that, A, we have a very wide political demographic, which I love and that's great. You know, I'll. I will talk on back to back DMS with people who are very left to center and people who are very right to center. And you can literally tell by the profile picture to say nothing what they're saying. Yeah. I mean, Joe has the same experience. It's pretty cool. I like that. And the psychopaths, they're the best. Yes. Yes. The psychopaths. You guys are great. We enjoy those ones. They're great. But, you know, you can kind of zoom out and feel where the vibes are when you do this job. I think a little more. I'll speak for like before. before I ever did this, it's definitely more than then. to so many different people so many of you guys out there who have totally different environments life experiences but some of the same concerns and issues and one of the things that was painfully obvious throughout this whole year was that when i would talk to people and i'm i'm really thinking of people like out in the midwest right now not any states in particularly but like when i talk with fans out there like in the heartland of america who i'm thinking of the ones who i would describe as definitely conservative there was a total apathy a complete and total apathy about not just donald trump but like politics and the future and like their beliefs in conservatism if you will were not translating to anything that they could see on a ballot and i'm not blaming them at all with this but i'll say yeah statistically speaking some of those people stayed home you know and then and we'll get to some of the demographic swings some of these people also literally went out and i'm talking people that are registered republicans went out and voted for democrats that is how how quickly this shifted and joey deep and i were talking at the gym this morning i was looking at this because it's only two years since the last election and less than two years since trump took office it's only two years since trump took office and i think that's what i'm talking about i think it's only two years since trump took office and i think that's what i'm talking about it's a bigger bigger fumble than biden coming in and he fumbled everything in in 2021 early 2021 after after he won the election to where it was like okay we're going to try to come out of covid or whatever which they didn't end up doing really fumbled the bag with that but like in this case the vibes because it was post-covid at this point the vibes in america had a chance to be way higher and they just threw up airball after airball it's literally billy madison you blew it you blew it 100 but you know we we talk about people who may have stayed home people who went out and voted angrily and even maybe if they're a registered republican voted democrat one of the main political psychological shifts that i've seen that i don't fully know what to make of is at least as far as i can tell the first time in my lifetime a sale of apathy and i'm going to explain what i mean by this that michigan race was interesting they were both extreme it was it was rogers versus al-sayed they were both total opposite candidates neither in my opinion likable really in any way they're more on the extremes on on both ends mike rogers was kind of like you know your ed gallrain type put in there by trump to just do whatever mary maddison wants and then syed is is has some more extreme opinions and i i kind of feel the same way as i do about someone like mom donnie like that kind of stuff doesn't work that said that motherfucker might be slick but he is talented as hell and for as far as i can tell the first time ever syed ran a race where he won with apathy all right so what is apathy obviously apathy is is when you are so over something that you just don't have the emotion to even get upset about it anymore you know you see sports fans get apathetic when their team's fucking 2 and 14 four years in a row and they've been spending tickets to go there on sundays to watch them and they're just fucking sick of it and they don't even have the courage not the courage they don't even have the energy to boo anymore el sayed obviously loathes donald trump right doesn't seem to agree with anything donald trump does but unlike everyone we've seen over the last 11 years who has to virtue signal or has to huff and puff and scream and say donald trump is a monster he's a tyrant he's hitler or whatever abdul al sayed leaned back and he would talk like this look obviously donald trump's an idiot okay like if you don't understand this i don't know what to tell you he was handed his whole life like he's not actually smart he's just really fucking good at marketing and so here we are this is what you get and that type of message psychologically speaking if you talk to any strategist expert in fucking human history they'll tell you and there's other emotions as well like apathy is one of the worst things you can do because it shows you're checked out you don't care so why are voters going to care it's not exciting at all yet that resonated with people that's that is how bad we are politically from the left and the right over what we've seen over really the past two three decades at the very least but like it has gotten to such a point that candidates can win with apathy messaging and it's not to say he was apathetic the entire time obviously he talked like a politician in other ways i don't want to overstate this but he was willing to be apathetic towards some of the reality and basically say well it can't get worse than this so you know maybe hit the fucking button on me you know i i don't know what to make of that long term but that was very very fascinating to me that that's how far things have gotten can't say i blame them one of if not the most common dms i've ever seen in my life is when i'm talking to people and they're like i'm not going to be able to get on instagram are many of you

appreciate that also the like button's a big help and you can join my newsletter via the link in the description below i i can't either whether whether you like his policies or not yeah seems pretty good it it joey joey joey deep's a fan over there i'm just like listen dude all i think about is how everyone was like when when zoron won with new york they're like it's over it's over and i'm like oh yeah well but like dude it's been great i do i do have to say city's up right now like the disasters of like the socialist policies that mom donnie very very clearly stands behind have not come to roost at this point you know whether or not that's because you know some elite stepped him on the shoulder and said listen buddy i know that was a cute campaign you're not really going to do this stuff i don't know like the grocery store stuff doesn't work out what people have to understand though is yeah when you fill fucking two hundred thousand potholes in the sit in the nation's biggest city like fucking overnight when no one would do it that's a net win don't care what your politics are joey d's been dealing with all kinds of locations throughout new york and you said like dude even just with like permitting and stuff that shit got done in like 24 hours it was expedited quick just saying that's kind of stuff that never happens and again since when is bureaucracy fast you know never is it never is but like you have to be able to say those things and i think that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing that's the it doesn't mean you then have to agree with like the fucking overall political worldview he has or things he wants to do i told you forever i do not like extremes in any way politically whether it comes to fiscal responsibility or fucking foreign policy or whatever it is but like i'll call a spade a spade when i see it and i'll look at things on an individual basis and like things like that are objectively good what i worry about is the i don't know the apathetic time in america allowing us to then let in trojan horses which i would actually argue donald trump was a huge trojan horse by the way i mean just to be very i think we covered that yeah i think we've kind of covered that but also like that means that trojan horses can happen from the other side as well it's always been this way i've always talked this way because this happens again and again it's just how much more extreme does it get donald trump's trojan horse was extreme he said no wars we literally went to iran and they're thinking about maybe nuking it possibly again we'll get to that you know he said justice for the epstein class now it's a hoax and he's not releasing it and violating federal law he said america first let's fund israel and help you know fucking ethnic cleansing and genocide like he said i'm here for your freedom and to fight for you mass surveillance for everyone hey remember the the forgotten american worker we're going to produce shit in america i'm going to get behind all the fucking technocrats and elites who literally have been legislating a way to fight for you and to fight for you and to fight for you and to fight over you and to fight for you and to fight for you and to fight for you and to fight for you and to fight for you those jobs through the legislating way have been taking away those jobs through their massive scale industries that they do unperturbed because they pay off the politicians who then do what they want right like it was opposite day every day so now if you see you know the al-sayyads of the world come in if they're going to do opposite day every day on on the shit that they claim to stand for then we'll hold them to the same fucking standard you know but it's it just feels like those pendulums are just getting more and more dangerously apart and you know one of the excuses that donald trump's white house immediately came out with was well donald trump wasn't on the ballot here which is objectively fucking hilarious hilarious you know you know when he did say he was on the ballot when he wasn't on the ballot joey def one in a really small closed primary in kentucky back in june that he could not stop tweeting about enough when he got his quote-unquote warm body mr massey's to beat massey and thomas massey who along with roe connor on the democratic side massey on the republican side thomas massey obviously was run out of his long-standing job as as congressman by donald trump and 32 million dollars from people like mary madelson and paul singer to make sure he did not win his primary and is now not going to serve in congress after he was one of the few guys who actually understood what the promises that were made to the american people in 2024 were so a year ago carhartt's holiday gift guides were built in collaboration with the greatest gift giver of all

down yeah the original tweet let's hit that this is what thomas massey tweeted this is actually joey d if we're recording this on thursday november 5th this year so this is exactly a year ago usually we record these on fridays but i gotta catch a flight so thomas massey says to avoid a repeat of last night's shellacking in the 2026 midterms republicans and he was referring to last year's elections that occurred in november in the 2026 midterms republicans should quote quit covering for pedos put america before israel put farmers before corporations quit funding for the u.s. fund the u.s. wars abroad hadn't even fully started the iran yeah by the way when he's tweeting this reduce spending to control inflation and quit attacking independent voices like his own right there they did the opposite of all those things and they lost and he lost too because they were pushed out when trump wasn't on the ballot but now he's not on the ballot so it's not his fault right he also said he was doing great classic biz dude classic i don't know if you saw that can we can we play that tape from fox news trump trump was going on fox news the other night just like you know having a moment i think i think i think some of it for a minute before he had to give the ballroom tour in the morning i think some of it was kind of setting in but this is donald trump on i guess this is tuesday night while the results were piling in we actually have the greatest economy we've you know i had the best economy in my person this flows it away but because of the gasoline price people don't see it as much as they would have that's right without it and the gasoline was caused by iran caused by iran caused by iran when we did it again i i don't i don't like defending the iranian regime they suck but like last i checked we hit them okay they didn't hit us we closed them off economically sanctioned from the fucking world and people are just feeling the economics because of gas prices that is spoken like someone who hasn't looked at a gas bill since the fucking vietnam war ended and that and and again remember the days of blue-collar billionaire i mean you just can't make it up and matt walsh obviously who works for ben shapiro's daily wire not sure how much longer that's going to be the case but hardcore conservative guy hardcore conservative tweeted out the next morning catastrophic defeat because of the bad economy and trump's immediate response is to show off his ballroom i wasn't expecting him to have the best response but this is far worse than i anticipated can i get some volume here let's just see what he said let's find out doug maybe none of them worked in all of washington and we beautified it we've got rid of the homeless encampments where they took over all of the grass and so it'll be graffiti you see that building right over there that graffiti all over it it's a disgrace we got rid of it it's not easy to do you know when you have limestone especially it sort of sinks in a little bit but not good right not good it's yeah dude it's like watching like a comic who like was at the top and like he he fucking blew it they they found out he was stealing jokes from somebody and he fucking lost it all he was doing the garden and now he's just at like some backroom dive doing an open mic and he feels like he's doing shit yeah yeah no that's that's a great i completely agree you see caroline levitt had to had to get in another retarded take are we allowed to say that anymore i know are we allowed to say retard i know that's what i was thinking i was like the one thing that sucks is we might lose the fascist internet and i kind of like it was fun yeah what'd she have to keep trying so caroline levitt who you know love is love met married a guy 35 years older than her who's who had very deep pockets and you know respect has kids and you know doing the whole thing but again you know probably someone who hasn't experienced in any type of recent years paying bills or being behind on bills or you know gas prices if you will caroline levitt wants you to know that no no no you're not poor you're just wrong that you think you're poor donald trump made you rich let's hit it that's it fortunately i think the american people forgot about the good policy maybe listened to the lying media on the lying media that is definitely in the back seat of the democrat party um and and the democrats don't have policy they know how much money they have they got more money in their pockets because of the president's they got more money in their pockets because of the president's tax cuts oh just go away lady just go away right off into the sunset you also had a chance to go away after that last lady came on for like four days and really like blew up the spot it was so bad that people might have actually had like not an awful memory of you but you're already coming out being a pundit on fox news and just spewing bullshit that is completely disconnected from people's realities again how many times do we have to say this almost 50 percent of americans don't have five hundred dollars in emergency savings does that sound like a good fucking economic situation to you jd vance jd vance had a response to this in a long worded tweet and i just as so we're recording this thursday it's coming out saturday i recorded an episode with james lee who does some really fun content online on wednesday and i'm going to be doing a lot of this on wednesday evening that is going out friday so as of the time you're watching this the episode's already out so we did talk about this tweet in that episode but i'm gonna hit it again because jd vance the the only the back five percent and i want to emphasize this is like the back five percent maybe even the back one percent where i sometimes feel bad for him is the fact that unfortunately it is quite literally in his job description that like he has to support what the president does i do think that has lines in the sand but what it ends up doing when you have a president that comes out makes all these promises makes you make all those promises with him and then does the opposite what it ends up doing is it makes you look like and accurately makes you look like a cuck and that is effectively what jd vance is and you know he's also a political invention of the peter teal class and the people that funded him and put him into this position who you know obviously we're not huge fans of around here but it was tough watching jd vance have to play like jujitsu with no pun intended there with joe rogan and how he phrased things about the iran war and stuff over the summer when he went back on joe's show after this whole debacle and all that and you can see the struggle he's having in his head with trying to defend things that go against what he believes so if people out there want to therefore call him a hypocrite despite his job description hey i i think it's fair criticism giving given the length of the list it's not one or two things it is so many fucking things that we've already outlined six times today that they have fumbled the bag on so jd vance puts out a tweet after what was a wednesday morning like huddle up i guess that they had at the white house to go over the fallout of all this stuff called a drowning i called it yes from the balloon army i i i think it i think it was a drowning i think it was a drowning just in the middle of the ocean like yeah where do we go that's right there was just screaming wilson and there was no wilson screaming back nope anyway so after that meeting at some point jd vance puts out this tweet where he references a lot of like the smartest people in the room over and over again you know just to like emphasize that these people are really fucking smart but they're not gonna be named obviously and let's let's just get through it and then i think this i think this definitely deserves some some nuanced thought at the least but let's get through it so one of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed with was the composition whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for republicans to win and despite polls that showed a democratic blowout the data kept on telling us the same story in some states turnout was merely okay in other states it was downright amazing and in no state was a catastrophic there was a genuine sense of optimism on our team our people were showing up not for you so i asked the smartest data guy i know there's the first smartest guy does this mean that we're going to shock the world no he told me we might do better in the polls suggest but the data is telling us that a lot of trump vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys our voters are turning out but they may not vote for us well that looked profit now our voters did show up in florida for example the electorate was nine points more than republican the democrat just a couple points worse than 2024 undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout but the main problem is not turnout the main problem is that many people who voted for trump vance in 24 voted dem in 26 there will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is one of the pollsters i really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn't sharp enough down the stretch i'm sure that's true could have told you that a long time ago remember that they were their economic messaging was going on fox news saying fuck your gas money iran can't have a nuke didn't didn't think that wasn't gonna work you know anyway i also think his smart person is just perplexity he's like hey perplexity are we going to shock the world do you have your perplexity hat yeah you do i threw i used it to fuel my heater the other day perplexity is vaguely impressive i'm kidding i hope they're not ending the world we gotta look into that some more anyway there'll be a lot of infighting arguing over what happened and why that is one of the pollsters but the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone another pollster one of the smartest people i know in politics another smart guy told me yesterday that we'd lose the generic ballot by 13 points i felt negative going into tuesday but even i was shocked by this in his polling he saw that a lot of trump 24 voters were angry and planning to vote for dems he asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team the top four answers counting for nearly a year and a half and he said that the pollsters were angry and planning to vote for nearly all the response were one end of the war two focus on cost of living inflation three put america first and four change our relationship to israel notice he left epstein off that list as well i'd love to know behind the scenes if there was a little poll in the maybe show to spike on that despite the fact that they've tried to let this story die on the vine which unfortunately they've been somewhat successful with not because of us here though joey no sir have been putting in a lot of work on that our voters showed up all the above four reasons are why many of them voted for dems this is according to a pollster who nailed the results but while many spent monday attacking rachel campos duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution of the conflict it turns out her political advice was sound she's also a great person and then he goes on saying there's gonna be a lot in fighting the next few months and we lost the senate and yada yada yada obviously appreciate that he's stating the obvious too little too late for sure it will be interesting to see now if this actually does lead to him breaking publicly sometimes with donald trump a small break that occurred a few weeks ago donald trump came out and inexplicably endorsed maniac fucking benjamin netanyahu once again in a foreign election for prime minister to win what would end up being the prime ministership in israel which as of now obviously he has not successfully done that and jd vance was asked directly to do that as well by i think a new york times journalist or something and and on camera and he refused to do so so we will see if more of this occurs but what was very fascinating is that right below that joey d if you'll see it don jr don jr who's been collecting hundreds of millions of dollars billions of dollars worth of contracts related to companies related to him that you know certainly interesting to say at least don jr who used to tweet every day about the epstein files until suddenly his dad called it a hoax he did come out of the woodwork and retweeted what jd vance said which flies directly in the face of many of the things that his father has done and recognizing that these were mistakes by the way he says every word of this with three 100 emojis three hana he's out at a will he's like chief keith three hana three hana and i think don jr is now out of the will yeah that's the that's that's that's a no-go that's a no-go right there i just thought that that was interesting i also thought it was interesting that elon musk who you know i hate money in politics i understand people do it because another person does it or whatever but i think it's all bad and all wrong you know elon musk put what was it 450 million or something into this election and it's like isn't this kind of the shit you call out like george soros for doing yeah correct me if i'm wrong i've never been a guy obviously i don't like that dude at all so like seems a little weird it's a little weird though that like elon musk is on the platform he owns where he's got 250 million fucking followers he's tweeting out all these things all day vote red today most people are still and then there were others below there and afterwards can we play the showy thief he starts deleting at least some of these tweets you know like just leave it up it's all right you spent 450 million like i don't know that's weird he gets in line on stuff too this is the guy who blew up like the trump epstein files thing in in june 2025 you never hear about that anymore he just gets in line with these things and yet he's spending a lot of money that's odd yeah it's interesting that's odd now joey d for you putting your pronouns in your email i i never took him out you never took him out in there yeah he was a he was a weed m boys i believe right yeah it is it is actually his weed m boys that's that's correct those are joey deef's yeah bring them pronouns bring them back woke is this woke 2.0 or 3.0 i can't see people get everyone like some people say 3.0 some people say 2.0 yeah i'm excited new era jokes aside jokes aside the democrats have a chance and i don't have faith in them but they have a chance to learn some valuable lessons and not go back to their old playbook here because the woke playbook was retarded in every possible way yeah i don't know i feel like they might i feel like they might not do it this time no no no i feel like they might not go back to it this time that would be good for america yeah i don't know i got a feeling i got a feeling folks got a feeling got a hunch chalk it up to the hunch but it was what was awesome is that we were assured even in as far as back in in late september not too long before these elections we were assured by political nostradami oh ben shapiro and mark levin that nobody cared about the iran war it would not affect voters despite the fact that at that point it was already over six months old in a war that was supposed to be four weeks it would not affect voters let's run this tape from september oh there's my favorite guy mark levin when we look at the fox survey iran is a four percent issue with the american people so whatever happens in the midterms it doesn't appear that ron's going to drive anything one way or another what's your take on this i think that's exactly right exactly right that's exactly right oh it's exactly right if i'm mark levin and ben shapiro and thank god i'm not i i thank you whatever's up there god please thank you for not making me mark levin or ben shapiro i'd go away i would just i i would i mean they both got they both got cash joey deef i just i wouldn't even fade off into the sunset i'd irish could buy it i'd take a car bomb like like not a not an actual car bomb i mean like the the drink youtube like the drink a car bomb and i'd irish goodbye and just peace yeah but money's not enough dude they get they get they get they get off on sitting on that panel looking at the monitor on the right to see the reflection of themselves that's right and being like they bought that they did killed it they did that's why the daily wire is hemorrhaging money and then they stand up from their seats mark levin stands up and he's in his tighty whities and he's like all right guys that's another day oh he what what did he call he retweeted jd vance's tweet and he said like full mask off moment you know because he because he dared to just reply what the fucking pollsters already knew yeah it's funny how like everyone encourages one another to like be able to change their views and opinions when like there's new circumstances or new evidence but like the moment somebody does it everyone's like oh look at this grifting piece of shit this was this scumbag this was something early on in the podcast i was fascinated by like back when i was talking with mitch in episode 16 like the whole critical thinking thing was co-opted psychologically because i noticed that anyway and this is a different time period at that time but this this applies to really when you think about it all time periods based on what the contrarian viewpoint is when people tell you to critically think they're doing so with the expectation that when you do so you're going to be able to change your views you will arrive at the complete opposite conclusions of what you've been told which also happen to align with what they think and the minute that you take their advice and actually by the miriam webster's dictionary version of it critically think and arrive at a conclusion that is even nuanced and not where the people who encourage you to to do so have arrived they call you a shill they call you someone they call you a fucking fed they call you whatever the fucking term is and so like it's almost like cringe in my head when i have to say i talk about like critical thinking or whatever critical thinking involves like taking your own life experiences taking the evidence you see trying to logically look at where that lands review all the evidence from the full spectrum and make a weighting of it carhartt's holiday gift guides were built in collaboration with the greatest gift giver of all time santa claus himself old saint nick counts on him to be the durable gear to have his

payment of 45 for three months 90 for six months or 180 for 12 month plan required 15 per month equivalent taxes and fees extra new customer offer for initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy see terms and it's your opinion at that point what the fuck is wrong with that do you think it's like co-opted or do you think it's it's just like human nature like like you know it's just like you want to be you want to seem virtuous and so you're gonna say hey listen like you should be able to change your views and opinions when you're presented with new evidence but then it's like the human nature that doesn't let people do that because like i don't know as far as i'm concerned we've been doing this forever like that's that's why they killed socrates and that was way back then yeah that was a few years ago you know no i i think i think actually if you're gonna chalk it up to like this is repeated history of human nature i think you could make that case yeah just seems i think you can make that case i think it's a little more i don't know widespread just because of the technological reach and means we have in modern day society you just get pumped with info yes yes but the concept of that where it's like the yin will have the yang not in a good way yeah i could see that i could see that you know who wasn't here to see this who lindsey graham well and watching from somewhere and why doorman he's looking up he's looking up he's looking up and why doorman on twitter had a great tweet r.i.p lindsey graham you would have loved getting fucked like this i i can't say it better than that no that's that's that's pretty pretty on the point was it funny seeing the amount of people who thought that i actually thought like they actually thought that i actually thought that i actually thought that i actually thought my reaction to lindsey graham being gay was genuine oh my god like come on again it's like guys get out go touch some grass for christ's sake stop watching clips all day you're kidding me first i'm hearing people are like what a fucking idiot i'm like dude i'm like come on people also thought you were a freemason in the 34th level and a personal invitee of peter teal at the antichrist lecture but someone finding out that's not real i think i read i read one comment a few times and i really was trying hard to real like i'm like are they being sarcastic and i chalked it up to i don't think they are and like it was someone being like like this guy's gonna be the downfall of the show like he's julian's handler and i was like that's good that's my that's my favorite one i'm your government handler oh my god oh my god joey d if you're not beating the allegations keep talking like that if you are i mean it honestly makes me want this like i'm gonna lean into it even more for these psychos that's right love you guys we do love you we do love you it's it's all fine i tell you bro you gotta you know with the comment section you gotta have fun with it no i have a blast i have a blast reading that there was also a clip i'm not gonna play that was just pretty glorious that you should watch of so piers morgan i guess was in dc and had like a little panel there and dave smith was sitting in the middle and at some point they they zoomed in like the the charlie kirk show studio at tp usa i don't know why it's still called that you know over a year after he died and you know that's neither here nor there but watching dave smith cook those guys alive yeah jack posobiec the andrew what the fuck is his last name the producer guy did the the bald guy on the left blake neff and then i don't even know who the other guy was it was glorious i'm not gonna play it's like four minutes well worth your time type in dave smith tp usa on twitter it'll come up but probably the cringiest of them all and this is really saying something when you're talking about the mouthpieces is that guy benny johnson who swears he's straight by the way i guess just like lindsey graham did but benny johnson is the equivalent of you know well he he's a water carrier whatever messaging he gets from the white house he's going to put out there and he's going to tweet like this is fucking awesome bro and he was doing that all the way through like the night of the election to the point like he was tweeting out like oh it's gonna be a red wave like all this shit like i don't know what you're looking at bro and he comes out and there's no way i'm i'm gonna play all this shit like i don't know what you're looking at bro but i just want you to see how dishonest these people are and and i'm gonna read the tweet above it before we play it he comes out the next morning as if he saw this the whole way and that yeah no we we really we really have work to do and and we've really fucked up on all the topics that he has personally been propagandizing especially over the last year and a half to make sure that he tries to win over popular support of like the american people which by the way if benny johnson is winning your popular support you go go take a minute did joey deep just said touch some grass touch some grass so this tweet is from a guy named brandon stracca who is a conservative like pundit okay so he's on that side of the aisle and brandon stracca says benny johnson who literally asked his audience yesterday if they were sitting down because early signs pointed to a red wave is here today to explain why we lost spoiler alert his explanation is the exact opposite of everything he's been saying for the past year and a checklist lifted straight from the people he spent the year mocking on his show let's play some of this time to be honest about the meteor strike that hit the republican party last night and what we do about it three reasons why republicans lost in the biggest election landslide since the 1970s rule number one do what you say you're going to do the first thing that president trump told me when i met him in 2015 at a event in new hampshire i was just filming and he was driving by and his car he rolled down his window and he said no new wars no more bushes in the white house he was running against jed at the time that's right he ran on that no new wars platform and was able to steamroll the neocons of hillary clinton the neocons you've been carrying the water for the kamala machine all of the bushes all of the obama infrastructure was destroyed because donald trump did not listen to neocons did not start any new wars but that all changed with the war in iran the neocons started making decisions and they got us into a war that destroyed that i've been this guy benny johnson has been propagandizing the whole fucking way and there you go that that's the there you go the whole ball game that's the ball game on america first and then increase prices make things less affordable and start a new war you just can't do that you told people you weren't going to do that it's kind of like rule number one when it comes to managing yeah i mean where you've been don't do a deal i can't even listen like we see this on both sides of the spectrum right now it's the republicans like this guy whatever he calls himself that are having their moment or whatever but like never ever forget the fickle nature of political propagandists because most of them are and they will they will lie cheat and steal to say whatever they have to say to be relevant in the cycle that day that's why i that's why i don't like bringing people like that ever like on the show like i've had people who work in and around politics or whatever and sometimes it's been like a tough conversation too because i'm like dude can you just can you say what you think and not what you think the script is supposed to say but like it's not fun it's not fun you want to talk about no critical thinking right there there you go yeah it's tough now i said we talk about this nuclear tweet pun intended from tucker carlson so let's lay it out and then i'll go through what i'm hearing and you'll do with that what you will it's tuck carlson says on november 1st under presidency of the united states of america the president of the united states of america pressure from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on iran that sounds promising the target would be pickaxe mountain in central iran where israeli intelligence claims the iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program no conventional weapon in the american arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place the only military option is a nuclear strike netanyahu has been pushing hard for one year and he calls trump about it every day says an informed observer netanyahu is cornered and desperate after last week's election results he can't form a government unless trump intervenes directly in israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives netanyahu 61 seats in the knesset which would be fucking insane if he does that by the way otherwise he is out as prime minister and on his way to anonymity investigations and possibly jail that i'll actually amend that tucker definitely jail if he actually is pushed out netanyahu must stay close to trump he needs this war to that end he's applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the admin including secretary of defense and useful idiot my words not tuckers pete hegseth and centcom commander brad cooper both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they've so grievously mismanaged both are pushing to restart major combat operations because they're not going to be on the front lines secretary of state marco rubio and cia director john ratcliffe both huge apac fundees by the way are also following netanyahu's lead as our leaders as our leaders of the democratic party in a recent meeting on the subject former president barack obama said he opposes the current iran peace deal being drafted in doha that one i don't know the context there i'd like to see more on that because like one thing about obama his foreign policy i thought was awful but obama was not not he gave in on some things that how do i explain this he gave in on some things that were like standard into the course that have just been accepted about like you know our partnership with the israeli government for decades but then there were other things that other presidents have just been completely bowled over on that he was like nah fuck that including the settlements and he did not like benjamin netanyahu at all the rest of america's longtime allies in the middle east are terrified by the prospect of more war on september 27th netanyahu flew secretly to abu dhabi to enlist the uae in his lobbying effort for a final attack on iran the emiratis refused after eight months of conflict gulf economies are teetering so are global energy and fertilizer markets they won't recover soon globally there are that everything i've seen does support what he says there by the way globally there are a total of about 850 super tankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world in october alone 11 of them were badly damaged in hormuz at this pace a global depression is imminent a nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction fallout from a ground explosion at pickaxe mountain would contaminate the persian gulf poisoning the water supply for 100 million people that's not good and there are just and these are just some of the immediate consequences for the region the rest of the world is every bit as exposed no country other than the u.s has ever used a nuclear weapon in war for very good reason i got an episode coming with annie jacobson i think that's going to come out on tuesday if not it will be friday where you know we talk about this that was one of the books she wrote and it's it's scary how many unknowns still exist with the nuclear scenario pun intended you know that things could go things could go cataclysmic immediately unfortunately so some would like to an american nuclear attack on iran would set a new precedent the russians have already told at least two other governments that an american nuclear strike on iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against ukraine that's awesome wow great pakistan and india would be obviously i'm being sarcastic pakistan and india would be tempted to do the same against each other as would north korea against seoul after the first nuclear strike world war three is inevitable the world would be short and final we've been sleepwalking towards this moment for months since february the admin has quietly rewritten america's nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called battlefield nukes easier and therefore more likely no one in washington in either party seems bothered by this and i'm not going to now we're on the brink of it close observers say trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons that would be november 7th right when this episode's coming out joey def rip if something bad has happened day one of production that's right day one of production as well for the movie six days from now at the time tucker was right in the street to his credit he's headed he's hesitating at the moment trump is listening to his vice president jd vance and to his envoy and friend steve whitcoff both of whom argue a deal with iran can be made they're right though it won't be simple the iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstance and elements of that government have become more radical since ayatollah ali ali kameni and his family were killed in february after decades of isolation even relatively moderate iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the west there is a widespread belief in tehran for example that the u.s government controls israel but overall people who have spoken to decision makers in iran say there is consensus that there is more war that more war is bad for everyone and the u.s government controls israel and the u.s government controls is worth making one group that hasn't been consulted so far as the global population the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if trump is pushed by netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week now would be the time for them to speak up so on the surface you go man i hope that's all crazy then you listen to some of the rhetoric of guys who are still in power as of this moment inexplicably like a pete hagseth and the way they talk about this like a fucking holy war you know and you go maybe not unfortunately when you look at the fact that they have refused to fully wind down this war despite its unpopularity from day one you go well how far would they be willing to go to get this happen when you look at donald trump saying the day after the election in front of the ballroom that he wouldn't change a thing he did about iran and iran can't have a nuke when clearly his people just including many of his own people his own supporters just gave him a full referendum telling him that they don't give a fuck about that you know like you just see how dug in they are on this and how far would they be willing to go to win and how far would a cornered dog like donald trump what what did jeffrey epstein say in that email cornered like a rat he'd probably bomb iran how big a bomb we talking he's already done the bombing when he felt cornered by the epstein thing by the way that's a little bit some dramatic irony if you will right there you know but how big a bomb would we be talking with someone who now has lost you know both both the house and the senate lost the governors as well for whatever that's worth lost texas you know how far would he be willing to go to protect his legacy and i speak now dead seriously i hope not far i i i would welcome cooler heads prevailing regardless of whether i agree with all the other fucking things he he's done which i don't you know this is not a moment to freak out and and let just anger win now i was talking to someone else the other night who had just spoken to a navy seal who i'm not gonna say who that was but it's not someone that i know who had been informing him about some of the very specifically that he was hearing about from guys actively in the teams right now that had my friend very concerned and so i then made a call to a pipe hitter someone wired into people in the teams and they they confirmed some of that same warm footing not all of it they they weren't privy to a couple of the other details but you know i was like is he really gonna nuke iran like is this a thing and their answer to be clear was no i don't think he will but it's not a zero percent chance they say you know maybe it's eight percent or something something in that ballpark and that is eight percent too high for me you know i wasn't alive in the 60s during the nuclear scare and all that i was How was it? it was wild it was wild yeah did you have a bag of pigs you're referring to yes that's right but in the aftermath did you have one of those like underground like panic room shelters you'd go to no you didn't you were just gonna wait it out i had i had me an old hatchback a hatchback yeah i drive it around drinking drinking beer while i drive how was world war ii while we're at it i mean i'm it wasn't it wasn't what they said it was back back to the back to the regularly scheduled program let me uh stop somewhere dave comes like see i told you i like this guy well the last time there was you serious widespread nuclear scares nuclear scares were obvious was obviously in the 1960s and things were teetering and you know then jfk's head got blown off and apparently everything was was all uphill from there according to the people that did it but you know again sarcasm people apparently we have to watch with you guys in the comment sections but you know i remember when russia ukraine broke out and i had concern with this you and then a few months went by and especially once we got towards the end of like 2022 i was like all right putin putin's not suicidal you know he's he's not he's he's not suicidal and i don't know i i that that concern went away i think this is the most concerned i've ever been and again it's not a 50 concern or something like that i don't want to fear monger in that way but like as far as i'm concerned anything above zero percent is a level of feeling fear for it and when i hit up people i trust who know what the fuck is going on and they're like yeah maybe possibly possibly possibly minute but possible i'm gonna share that with you guys so i'm gonna say i hope that that is complete bullshit thank you guys for checking out this
