d on fake charges. So if Trump — fake charges, convict him — a quarter of his supporters are not going to support him when he's been victimized by the very system he says he's going to fix for you. That 25 percent thing is so sticky. It is so sticky. Yeah, I don't believe the poll. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? Have you ever met anybody who is a Trump supporter who said but you know if they find…
← Previous segment →al thing to it. It's just words that fit in the sentence. So here is Raskin: every accusation by Trump is a confession. We've never had presidential candidates, much less presidents, talk like that before. What? That's every Democrat every day. What? My God. He said there's always been a very strong degree of civility at that level. What? And so it telegraphs some very dark intentions on his part.
So the Democrats are trying to put Trump in jail using lawfare to keep him off the election basically, a Nazi kind of a strategy to take out your opponent, and their defenses were words. Every accusation is a confession. It's part of his dark intentions. Let us compare. Trump is talking about a real thing: lawfare, real criminal cases. He's actually sitting in court being tortured by these very people. A real thing. His ass is actually on an actual bench or chair or wherever it is. His physical ass is in a place it doesn't want to be in the real world because of their actions which are clearly unethical if not unlawful. But in return they're living in this world of words where you've got the accusation is a confession and it's there's some dark intentions in my imagination of my mind reading of the things he's thinking but he hasn't said. It's words versus actions all the way. Until you see it you can't see it till you see it. But once you see it it's all you can see. All they have is words against actual real things.
Now you could agree or disagree about the actual real things and real policies but you can't argue that the Republicans are not talking about real things and the Democrats don't have any real things to talk about because they're doing worse on the economy, worse on war, worse on inflation. Basically they're losing every poll on everything except words.
Now I like to add one more thing. I keep hearing people say that they think people on the right are saying that there are demons and like evil among us and that some people are like maybe just demons. Have you ever had that impression where you look at somebody and you think to yourself I feel like you're a demon, like you don't register quite as human? Have you ever noticed that? And Jamie Raskin is that person for me. Like if I listen to Kinzinger or Cheney or somebody, if I'm listening to somebody I just disagree with I don't automatically say oh you look like a demon. Sometimes I say you look like you're mentally ill. Sometimes I say oh you're just a political actor and you're just trying to be political or I just disagree or you're just cynical. Like usually normal kinds of words. But when I watch Jamie Raskin my brain interprets him as a demon. I don't know why. Does anybody have that same impression? I'm not saying he's a demon, so just to be clear as far as I know he's a regular human being, but my brain can't tell. My brain actually translates him into like a nonhuman demon kind of creature. It's very unusual. I wouldn't say it about many people but I mean even Schiff doesn't look like a demon, does he? He just looks like he's a weird little lying character who knows exactly what he's doing. But there's something about Raskin. I don't know. It feels like a different level.
Meanwhile the New York Times is saying that Trump is more popular with the young than we thought. There's a new poll, New York Times/Siena College poll, that says he's neck and neck. That Biden and Trump are neck and neck with 18- to 29-year-olds. Neck and neck with 18- to 29-year-olds. Do you believe it? Well the other polls don't support that. The other polls don't. But you know what I think? I think the other polls are going to catch up. Do you know why? College protests. Yeah, I think men just flipped. Young men in particular. I think young men just said no, this college protest stuff, no, no, we're on the other side now.
And here's what the New York Times doesn't report because you know you're used to the New York Times giving news that's bad for Trump and good for Democrats, right? But they finally — they always have to catch up to reality eventually. They can deny for example the story about who's funding the protesters but once it's out there they have to act like they were covering it all along. You know they have to catch up to it. That's what's happening. But now the New York Times is doing a little catch-up with the young people moving toward Trump. But what's missing from the story? So they're saying that young people are moving strongly toward Trump. Something's missing in the story, isn't it? The most important part of the story. Yeah, the most important part is left out at least at the headline. I didn't read the detail but at the headline level they left out the only important part, which is men. It's all men. Men are done. They're done watching women destroy the world and they watch the protest and they don't see any real men. They see external protesters who are sort of professionals. They see beta men with their little garbage pail shields being beat up by the cops and mostly angry women. And I think men are just saying I don't want any part of that. I do not want to be associated with any of that. So men are leaving like crazy.
Do you know why they don't report that it's men? Do you know why? Because if they report it's men they're going to have to say why. They can't say why. They cannot tell you why the men are abandoning the Democrats. Can I? No, because if they told you that the whole game unwinds. Yeah, the whole game comes apart if they tell you why men are doing that. That's the key. The key is to remind people that men, especially young ones, are no longer okay with the situation and have just activated.
Let me explain men for you, okay, in case there are some women here who don't know anything about men. We're all different like every other group. You know there's different kinds of men, millions of different varieties. But there is one quality that men have maybe a little bit more than women and it looks like this. There's a lot of stuff we don't care about. We just don't care. We care about stuff that we care about but there's a whole bunch of stuff we don't care about until we do. And when we do, things change and pretty quickly. And I think that we didn't care about a lot of stuff. Oh you know you want to do some LGBT stuff that's fine. You want to do some DEI stuff yeah that's fine. You know a little more diversity is good and you know it just keeps going and going and going. But men are sort of binary in one way. We're okay with it whatever it is. We're okay with it until we're not. And it's just binary. It just flips. And I think it just flipped for a lot of men. You know more are coming. And I think that you can watch this stuff and not care about it up to a certain level and then when you realize it means you can't get a job — all these young men in college I think they figured out they can't get jobs because the women and the diverse groups are going to take their jobs unless they're diverse themselves. So at least among the white men they're realizing that the entire system is ganged up on them and they're sort of done with it. They're sort of done with it. And I think Black men are having the same realization that there's something terribly female about the way things are going and women should not be in charge of security.
And I'm going to say this as many times as it takes until you all agree with me. Women should not be in charge of national security or any other kind of security. Now that doesn't mean individual women can't be great at it because they can. You know there are plenty of police chiefs who are female doing a great job, plenty of mayors who are female doing a great job. So it's not about individuals. It's about the group. You can't let the group of women decide what the country does. Individual women absolutely, but not the group because the group is a bunch of people who are designed for nurturing. You're designed — evolution or God, whatever you want — but you're not designed for defense. Men are designed to kill people. We're designed for violence. We're designed for enough violence so that you can have your baby in peace. We have to be violent so that you don't have to be because you can't be violent when you're taking care of a child. You need somebody else, a third party, to be violent to keep the mountain lions and the other people away because you don't have any way to defend yourself if you're a mother with a small child. So we are built for this. Men are built to protect your country, protect your house, and they're not allowed to do it because our political process makes everybody equal and that's a terrible mistake. We're not equal in that way. And again individuals are all over the place so there may be plenty of individual women who are perfect for the job but you can't let the group of women vote on stuff that has to do with security. You're going to get the wrong answer every time. You need men to close your border. You need men to calm down these college protests. You need men to decide when to go to war and when not, although we're terrible at that because we like our war too much. But yeah, that's and I think we need to be able to say it that loud. And the thing that we always get wrong is treating the group like an individual. You can allow that there are plenty of individuals who are not like the group and still say that the group acts like a group no matter how many exceptions there are.
All right. Even Bernie Sanders is saying that the Gaza situation might be Biden's Vietnam. He said on Thursday Lyndon Johnson in many respects was a very good president domestically but because of Vietnam he had to step down. Well that's interesting because coincidentally I had asked ChatGPT just yesterday why Johnson didn't run for a final term because I kind of wondered. Like I learned it but I didn't know why. And so ChatGPT said he didn't want to run

for another term because he wanted to concentrate on his domestic agenda which was so awesome. But Bernie says it's because he couldn't win because of the Vietnam War. So who writes history, Bernie or ChatGPT? Those are different histories. History is all fake if you didn't know it. Basically all of your history is fake. Always has been. But my question would be is Biden more like Lyndon Johnson…
