Good morning, everybody. Good to see you. Welcome back to Monday and the Hot Topic show, our 10 a.m. show. We're so glad that you're here. Where are you guys streaming from? Where are you tuning into us from? Let us know. Sorry, I'm a little bit late. We're getting it together. I had to walk the dogs, on and on and on. Just stuff. So I'm glad that you're here. I want to talk to you about what happened last night. And because last night was a little bit nuts. Last night was a little bit nuts. And I don't know if you saw what happened here in New York City that people are really, really, really talking about. And the question is for everyone, whether or not this sort of ruins it, perhaps for Donald Trump, if it makes a difference.
The Republicans are obviously playing it down. The MAGA folks are playing it down. It is going crazy on social media. It is going crazy on traditional media. corporate media, and I want to know what you guys think about it, if you think it was problematic. So good morning, everyone. I'm so glad that all of you are here. There's a little bit still construction happening in my book. I'm wearing my, I voted, Sticker because I went to vote. I hope you went to vote, too. Hello from Cleveland. Hello, Mississippi. Travel with Kim. I'm glad that you're there. So here's the thing. I'm going to get right to it because there were sort of battling rallies this past weekend, right, between the former. First lady, our forever first lady, Michelle Obama.
And then this big rally that happened in New York City. Here's the question as we talk about the hot topics. This is really the hot topics. And I know that you guys, you know, again, the MAGA folks are playing this down. They don't think it's going to make a difference. I believe that it will make a difference. Because I think things are shared now through social media, online, digitally in ways that they're not shared in traditional media. OK, so Donald Trump, I believe, may have just lost the presidential race last night with that rally. I think he may have just lost the presidential race. And I know that he folks are going to say, well, he didn't say it. Well, maybe it's true that he did not say it.
But he had someone on stage. And whether they vetted him or not, I don't know. I believe that they had to have vetted him. They had to know this comedian, who his name is. It's called the Kill Tony Podcast. And there's a whole method to why I'm going to tell you. People are wondering, why is this guy getting so much attention?
What happened at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally that sparked backlash?
Why is he... on the Tom Brady roast? Why is he at a Trump rally in Manhattan? Why is he there during one of the most critical times when the election is about to be had in just what, what is it, seven days? Right? Tuesday, we're at Monday, it's next Tuesday. Why is he getting so much attention? Well, here's the thing. That is the strategy. That was the strategy from the Trump people. The Trump people are trying to reach out to this manosphere, to all of these young people and all of these influencers and all of these streamers. These podcasters, streamers, influencers are all on social media and they're very popular. Kill Tony is one of the most popular podcasts out there. OK, he's one of the most popular streamers out there.
So don't get it twisted. You may think like, oh, this is a nothing comedian. But this is who the young folks he appeals to the young folks. And again, I'm going to explain all of it to you. But there was a rogues gallery of speakers last night. And the question is, instead of staying on message and talking about inflation and government spending and Trump's at his rally at Madison Square Garden, The second to the last Sunday before the election was a release of rage. It was released at the political and legal system. And it was really aimed at, it seems their ire was aimed at the least of these, right? At immigrants and people who are disaffected really in society. And I just want to show you this rogues gallery of speakers, meaning there was a bunch of different speakers, most of them men.
