Yes, that's recent. That's recent over the last year. It is interesting, right? Because we did growing up always associate unions and blue collar people with voting Democrat because Democrats were looking out for the middle class, looking out for people's best interests, supporting unions and fair wages and funding schools and all that kind of stuff. Keep a neighborhood safe.

And Republicans were more like small government. Fuck you. Figure it out. I don't want to pay taxes. Yes. Stingy. And they were the ones that are encouraging war. Yep. Which is crazy today that you have this massive 180 degree shift. And the Democrats are talking about how important it is that we keep funding Ukraine.

And that we have some sort of – whether you're pro-Hamas or pro-Palestine, I should say, or whether you're pro-Israel, there's involvement in that. No one is saying – no Democrats are saying we need to get the fuck out of there. They're saying we need to free Palestine. Oh, OK. How are you going to do that? How are you going to do that? How much is involved in that?

Are you going to bring in people? Are you going to send people there? What are you going to do? Are you going to kill people for this? Yeah. What are we doing? The Democrats are there. You guys are looking for war. You're not looking for peaceful solutions like this is kind of weird. This is interesting. You know that we need to beat Russia. Are you out of your fucking mind? Are you serious?

Do you know how big that place is? Do you know how much military force is behind Putin? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Like what if he just decides to go nuclear at any point in time? He gets pressured. You keep advancing further and further into Russia. And he's like, I'll just end this right now. I'll just turn Kiev into a fucking sandbox. Boom. Yeah.

OK.

Did you see the article that I posted on my Instagram that's a title of a New York Times article for today? Which one? Jamie, pull this up. I want Brett to see this so you know this is real. This isn't the Babylon Bee. This is an actual New York Times article. You see it? This is so crazy. It's really hard to believe that someone would print this and the New York Times say, yeah, we like it.

Put it out there.

The Constitution is sacred. Is it also dangerous? One of the biggest threats to America politics might be the country's founding document. What the fuck are you talking about?

One of the biggest threats to America's politics might be one of the greatest documents that any country was ever founded on, if not the greatest ever.

That could be a threat to America's politics. What politics are we talking about? How could you possibly gaslight me enough to go along with you on this?

Well, this is why a person like Trump is so important to them. Because if you don't have someone that is an imminent threat on the horizon in three months, it's very difficult to justify all this shit. So if you have Kamala Harris and she's competing against Ron DeSantis, if it's just Kamala Harris and Ron DeSantis and Trump doesn't exist, maybe he died. Maybe he died in the last few years.

How could you – you wouldn't be able to make that argument. There's no imminent threat. Let's say Mitt Romney. Let's say someone even more moderate as a Republican, even more palatable. You can't make that argument that we don't need – we can't have a First Amendment because the First Amendment is getting in the way.

The First Amendment is allowing people to say things that aren't true, misinformation and disinformation. And right here, we're September 2nd. I think yesterday was the first day where Brazil banned Twitter. I know. So X is illegal to have in Brazil as of today, as of yesterday. And not only is it illegal, but you go through it through a VPN and they will charge you $8,000 a day.

Not as ramped up as this is, though. This is like Hitler, Hitler talk. They never talked about Mitt Romney like he was Hitler.
