Transcript 0:01 momentum momentum momentum President Biden passes the torch to the next generation of leadership to vice president kamla Harris she takes the torch and Soares surging ahead in many polls in fundraising breaking records in Grassroots support the energy is palpable and it's fairly historically unprecedented on the other side Donald Trump and his VP pick Shady Vance are crashing hard you have Shady Vance his past is being an earth it turns out he's like changed his actual name at least three different times his whole identity has shifted like every few years he becomes a different person reports also how he says that he was gay growing up and then he then became an extremist against the lgbtq plus Community there 1:01 are videos that Midas producers and our editorinchief Unearthed about Shady Vance where he called childless cat ladies a big threat to democracy and other horrific misogynistic remarks his approval rating is like the only time a VP pick has come out with a net negative after the convention no pun intended I think it's a 33% uh approval rating like the worst in history um and also there was a fact check done by the Associated Press Shady Vance did not have sexual relations with that couch yikes never a good headline where you even have to deny that also a deranged Donald Trump gave a speech in Charlotte North Carolina where he was grunting and doing the weird noises and talking about Hannah Lector eating your or brains very strange one of the 2:02 positive developments is finally with the media now over their constant and 2:09 Relentless attacks and agist attacks on 2:11 President Biden people are tuning in and 2:14 being like yo this is some weird 2:17 freaking stuff and we were like yeah 2:20 it's very weird and unhinged and 2:22 dangerous but Trump's a weirdo this 2:24 whole Mega movement yes they're 2:26 misogynistic yes they're wannabe fascist 2:29 they're all it's just very weird and 2:31 creepy Behavior by them we'll get into 2:34 that don't you worry also now with 2:37 President Biden passing the torch to 2:39 vice president kamla Harris also 2:41 attention focused on the economy and 2:43 things like climate change and issues 2:46 are going back to the Forefront which is 2:49 good GDP growth exceeded all 2:52 expectations in the second quarter 2:55 2.8% GDP growth right now impressive 3:00 impressive stuff we'll get into it all here on the mightest touch podcast I'm Ben melis joined by my younger brother Brett Jordy is not going to be able to join us today he's out doing some field work he got that great interview with Governor uh Josh zapiro of Pennsylvania who is being talked about in the VP 3:19 conversation I know jordy's doing some 3:22 like podcast panels and work out in uh 3:25 where he lives Brett how are you doing 3:26 sir I'm doing great I feel the vibe have 3:30 shifted folks the momentum has 3:32 completely shifted and the pro-democracy 3:36 community is on the offense for the 3:38 first time and it really feels different 3:40 I think we all feel it over the past few 3:42 weeks what did we all feel we all came 3:44 here and it was like traumatic for us 3:46 right it we were Doom scrolling one day 3:49 after the next it was felt like bad news 3:52 bad news the media being just Relentless with their attacks and suddenly it's like we've entered a completely new paradigm I am a completely new universe 4:02 here where the media is actually starting to pay attention to the things that we have been paying attention to here at the Midas touch Network and there's a whole lot of attention on kamla Harris who is really not just meeting this moment but is really surpassing this moment in a big way she has taken that baton from President Joe Biden who so graciously handed it off 4:24 and she is sprinting here to the Finish 4:28 Line like our lives depend on it because 4:31 frankly they do and I love this Unity 4:34 that we're seeing it really feels like 4:36 we're in the midst of this kind of 4:38 European moment in a way as we saw in 4:40 these past few weeks France we saw these 4:43 various factions come together to defeat 4:46 the fascist Movement by Marine Le Pen 4:48 here in the United States right now it 4:50 feels like a version of that you know 4:52 I'm not going to say it's a onetoone 4:53 comparison but it feels like you're seeing all these various pro-democracy factions from these never Trump Republicans to progressives and 5:02 everything in between coming together and saying okay Bet game is on and we are here to play and man I'm excited to get into everything because I know we have a whole lot to talk about a whole lot to cover Ben where shall we start 5:18 one of the most memorable lines from 5:20 vice president KLA Harris is we're not 5:23 going back right her campaign is about 5:27 looking into the future the baton the 5:30 torch if you will has been passed to um 5:33 from President Biden to vice president 5:35 kamla uh Harrison I just want to reflect 5:39 though for a moment on what it means 5:42 that we're not going back and it's the 5:45 it's the Donald Trump drama and the 5:48 weirdness and the wannabe FAS as I I always say Trump's version of fascism is even more like pathetic and worse than like the pure form of fascism Trump is a 6:00 fascist Fanboy he looks up to the fascist and he does the cosplay WWE fism so he brings Hulk Hogan on stage and Hulk Hogan goes I'm the Hulk St you better vote for Trump and you know these are serious issues people's rights and freedoms are on the line and we need to 6:19 take this stuff serious and in addition 6:21 to being dangerous and a wannabe fascist 6:24 Trump is weird say it with me Trump is 6:29 weird one more time Trump is weird and 6:32 and JB Vance may be weirder look Donald 6:36 Trump goes around and he does these you 6:39 know he does these speeches where he 6:41 goes and he goes so have you heard the 6:44 story about the woman who was 6:48 weightlifting against a transwoman have 6:51 have you heard the story and she goes 6:55 into the wait room have you heard this 6:56 one and then she goes 7:02 and he does that over and over again multiple times during the speech and when we you know when we've been covering this here at the mightest NK I would be like this is not normal this is the strangest weirdest stuff in the world and he went to Charlotte North 7:19 Carolina and he did the thing and then 7:21 he talks about Hannibal Lecter never 7:24 talks about policy never what we can do 7:27 for the American people how we can can 7:29 deliver it's always like we're going to 7:31 you know Hannibal Lector he'll eat your 7:33 brains first let me show you the 7:35 grunting clip let's play this one first 7:38 years a quarter of an ounce and a quar 7:41 of an ounce on the barbells right a quar 7:44 of an ounce little tiny thing and she 7:50 goes Olympic Tri outs mom and 7:53 dad and then he does that a lot like 7:56 here's another clip of him doing that 7:57 just show you this one turn off your 8:00 cameras for a second okay boy that's a lot of cameras man no no they get it up and they can't quite do it Mom I'm sorry Mom what's the joke I mean what are people even like there's nothing even 8:15 funny about that at all and then he does 8:18 the story about Hannah bcta and there 8:20 was some astute observations out there 8:23 that perhaps Donald Trump thinks an 8:25 insane asylum is political Asylum and 8:29 that's why his mind when he talks about 8:31 immigration 100% checks out like a 8:34 thousand about Han Lector in a Asylum 8:37 eating your brains here here's what 8:39 Donald Trump says again he talks about 8:42 he gives a speech part of his stum 8:44 speech is he talks about an imaginary 8:47 friend he has called Hannibal Lecter the 8:50 fictional cannibal who eats brains he 8:53 doesn't connect it to anything then he 8:56 just moves on to the next topic here 8:57 play this in jail mental institutions 9:00 and insane asylums you know they go crazy when I say the late great Hannibal Lector okay they say why would he mention hanal Lector he must be cognitively in trouble no no these are real stories 9:18 Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lamb 9:20 he's a lovely man he wants to have you 9:23 for dinner he'd like to have you for 9:26 dinner okay stories 9:30 could we not go back to that at the 9:32 mightest touch Network we created a 9:34 short that's gone crazy viral it's 9:36 called we are not going back and it's 9:40 based on one of the lines from vice 9:42 president KLA Harris's speeches that 9:44 she's been giving about we're not going 9:47 back just remind everybody what an 9:50 unhinged deranged person Donald Trump is 9:53 and please let's not go back to that 9:55 let's move forward please play the new 9:57 might is touch short Donald Trump wants 9:59 to take our country 10:01 backward but we are not going back we are not going back the tear gas was used to remove peaceful protesters from Lafayette Park the president setting up this photo op for himself dispersing peaceful protesters he's 10:21 holding up a 10:22 Bible this is a masquerade being dug for 10:26 Corona virus victims at New York City's 10:28 Potter's field 10:30 they were peaceful people these were 10:32 great people the love in the air I've 10:34 never seen anything like 10:35 it a group on one side and you had a 10:38 group on the other very fine people on 10:41 both 10:41 sides you can do anything grab him by 10:44 the 10:45 [ __ ] I was able to terminate Ro V 10:48 weight we are not going 10:52 [Applause] 10:56 back by the way when you support the 10:58 might touch Network at 11:01 patreon.com mightest touch you are helping us build out our editorial team you're helping us build out shorts like that and in a little bit when we talk about some of these JD van stories all the big JD van stories were actually stories about videos that either the mightest touch editors clipped or Unearthed the AC clip that he pulled of JD Vans talking about diet Mountain Dew and the clip Ron Philip C unearth where JD Vance attacked childless cat ladies 11:34 as the threat to democracy and those 11:38 clips have now been talked about across 11:41 all corporate media and just into the 11:43 not just political but pop culture 11:46 Zeitgeist as well to show what a 11:49 disgusting human being Shay D Vance is 11:54 getting into some of these uh moments as 11:57 well from Donald Trump's horrific 11:58 speeches in Charlotte North Carolina it 12:01 seems also to be getting to Donald Trump that he no longer controls the framing of this election the framework now is looking to the Future and the prosecutor versus the Felon and you Donald Trump yeah you're the Felon play the clip so think of it they get me to that position and then their campaign says I'm the 12:24 prosecutor and he is the convicted felon 12:27 that's their campaign I don't think 12:30 people are gonna buy it I think they are 12:32 going to buy are gonna buy it I I think 12:34 people are gonna buy it yeah well maybe 12:36 because it's the truth it's just the 12:38 plain truth right there in black and 12:40 white you are the Felon she is the 12:42 prosecutor she actually is Law and Order 12:44 you are a total complete Criminal Who 12:47 has been criming your entire life and 12:50 you know there's something additive now 12:52 about Donald Trump when he does all 12:53 these things right like in the past he 12:55 would say all these deranged things and 12:57 we would say they're deranged but 12:58 there's something about it now that 12:59 kamla Harris is the nominee that they've 13:01 taken on this extra derangement I can't explain it just the contrast is so deep and I think it's probably because Donald Trump before this prosecutor verse felon narrative was enshrined he made his whole campaign about about Biden being old that was his entire push and frankly that was the 13:21 media's entire push can this guy serve 13:24 now all that messaging that Trump and 13:27 the RNC the Republican party spent 13:30 millions and millions and millions of 13:32 dollars on punch pumping out into the 13:34 public is now being used against Donald 13:39 Trump because it now just fits him and 13:41 they are caught completely flat-footed 13:43 they have no idea how to handle kamla 13:46 Harris you see Fox just freaking out 13:48 trying to figure out their messaging on 13:50 some shows they say kamla Harris she's 13:52 far too liberal San Francisco liberal on 13:54 some shows they say she's to the right 13:56 to Biden she's too far right and you're 13:58 like what are you talking about they 14:00 cannot settle on a message because nothing is resonating and they've lost the culture they've lost the news cycle they've lost the momentum they've lost the messaging and you're starting to see the bottom fall out in all aspects because of that and they've lost the VP because uh wow is JD Vans just getting absolutely trashed like the worst possible pick and it also goes to one of the things we talked about it's 14:27 Donald Trump's decisionmaking he always 14:30 makes the worst decisions you go back to 14:33 covid how he handled things like a 14:35 miracle it's all going to go away I 14:38 firmly believe and I'm not trying to be 14:40 conspiratorial here if Hillary Clinton 14:43 was in office the moment there was any 14:46 knowledge about what was taking place in 14:49 China and what was happening and the and 14:51 the start of this virus and the start of 14:53 what could be this horrific pandemic she 14:56 wouldn't have covered it up and said 14:57 like a miracle it's going to go away 14:59 America would have led we would have 15:00 sent our best scientists she would have been transparent we would have started with the vaccines then public education would have started right away and I just think it would be an entirely different entirely different situation so when people are always like oh well the economy was doing it was we shouldn't factor in the last year or let's factor in the pre pandemic can't factor in the last year you get a mulligan I know he gets Mulligans and GF for all of his hits we saw that video of him putting that also put together where he couldn't 15:30 sink a putt and he would take all the 15:31 Mulligans you don't get a mulligan on a 15:33 year of your presidency though I'm I'm 15:35 sorry and I've said this before on the 15:36 show but you know damn well if Hillary 15:39 Clinton was there and took all those 15:41 steps and say there was one 120th of the 15:45 the deaths from covid they would have 15:47 impeached her I guarantee it they would 15:49 have not just impeached her they would 15:51 have put her in prison for life then 15:54 then they would have argued the exact 15:56 opposite arguments about absolute 15:58 immunity they would have taken the exact 16:01 opposite position oh we're conservative we don't believe in absolute immunity because they are sociopaths could you imagine for a moment if former president Barack Obama was in charge during the pandemic and he said well everybody here's what I want you to do I think it would be smart if we all just injected ourself with some bleach so I want you to take a look at some horse tranquilizers as well hey everybody um what do you think about my ratings the ratings are pretty good now right I I love these ratings right like could you 16:30 imagine if Obama said the things they 16:32 would have locked Obama up for the rest 16:35 of his life they would have charged him 16:38 with M with mass murder and there would 16:41 be debates whether or not there would be 16:43 the death penalty that's what would have 16:45 happened if Obama was in office during 16:47 and handled it the way Donald Trump was 16:49 but I think if Obama was in office he 16:51 wouldn't have handled it that way anyway 16:53 I digress my point is Donald Trump makes 16:55 bad decisions that was the point I was 16:56 trying to make and 16:59 and JD Vance just goes to show you what 17:02 a hard you couldn't have picked a worse person who who are you JD Vance who is this person like when you get headlines like that pull the headline up this is an Associated Press headline no JD Vance did not have sexual relations with a couch okay that is what's being uh put out there by the associated how do you fact check that how do you fact check that well especially especially I'll take I I will accept for the sake of argument stop it I will accept for the sake of argument that he did not have sexual relations with the couch however who who are you he's he's he fakes that he's a hillbilly 17:40 and that he grew up in Appalachia he he 17:44 did not he grew up in the suburbs of 17:46 Cincinnati because we know his neighbors 17:48 have spoken out his name is not JD Vance 17:51 his name was James Donald Bowman he grew 17:55 up in the suburbs in Middleton Ohio he 17:57 wasn't poor he went to Gale he changed 18:00 his names multiple times from James Donald Bowman to Jimmy Hamill and then right when he got married he changed his name to JD Vance he's flipped his entire personality and you know you go back and look at some of these interviews he gave when he was he became like the media darling because he was the anti-trump when Trump was like trying to appeal to hillbilly so they brought him on in the 18:26 media to be like look this is this is 18:29 the path that a hillbilly can take you 18:31 know and then he would go on there and 18:33 just speak in all these stereotypes 18:35 about people from Appalachia and he 18:37 would say well you know here in 18:38 Appalachia and people from Appalachia 18:40 like who are you you're not even from 18:42 here you fraud so and he made his whole 18:45 initial career and sold books lying that 18:48 he's from Appalachia like the guy quite 18:50 literally venture capitalist for who 18:53 lived in Silicon Valley silic Valley and 18:55 worked with Peter teal like you don't 18:57 get more opposite 18:59 of this and just that idea also that you 19:03 have Donald Trump this like slum Lord 19:06 who has ripped people off and defrauded 19:08 people his entire life and then you have 19:12 this venture capitalist uh JD Vance who 19:15 made his money along with Peter teal and 19:18 all these bizarre people in Silicon 19:20 Valley trying to go out there and act 19:23 like they are the Everyman for people I 19:25 mean I think that's like behind the 19:28 couch story which is a false story from 19:30 what we know uh but behind all this the 19:32 thing that breaks through in my opinion 19:34 and the reason why this stuff is all 19:36 sticking to him um the couch story 19:40 sticks I was gonna make a gross joke I'm 19:42 gonna hold hold it back about sticky 19:43 couches um is because he comes off as 19:47 such a 19:49 phony me yeah yeah yeah I could have 19:53 been a lot more graphic I assure you um 19:55 but the the fact is he comes off like a 19:57 fraud he comes off like a complete stop 20:01 it he comes off like a phony he looks he 20:04 sounds like a phony and so when you hear 20:07 all these stories when you hear the 20:09 contradictions when you hear what he 20:10 said about Donald Trump like a couple 20:12 years ago not even like we're not 20:13 talking about ancient history year like 20:15 a few years ago compared to now you're 20:17 like oh this guy is a fake this guy is 20:20 just a fake he he stands for absolutely 20:23 nothing he grew a beard and then changed 20:26 his entire personality um you know 20:28 here's an article from The Advocate they 20:31 did a good story on JD Vance how JD 20:33 Vance went from thinking he was gay and 20:36 changing his name twice third one was JD 20:40 Vin to being an 20:42 anti-lgbtq plus extremist and it talks 20:44 about how he grew up and he told people 20:46 he was gay and he felt that he was gay 20:49 and then they like sent him to a 20:50 preacher and then all of a sudden he 20:52 became 20:53 anti-lgbtq plus and part of his whole 20:56 thing is he changes personalities and 20:58 identities you know over and over again 21:01 and I'm just thinking too right now with 21:03 Donald Trump picking JD Vance and Donald 21:06 Trump's all about like image that like 21:08 now it's rubbing off on Donald Trump um 21:11 that just JD Vance was just JD B 21:15 exactly so you could you could you could 21:18 take the you could put the brothers on a 21:20 podcast but sometimes you can't take the 21:22 brothers out of the brothers sometimes 21:24 even when we're live on the mightest 21:25 touch podcast I want to show some of the 21:27 viral clips J I want to show some of the 21:30 viral clips

moments because 26:42 with your support m is mighty we've been 26:45 able to build out an incredible 26:47 editorial team and take a look at some 26:50 of the new stories that they broke 26:52 recently the first one comes from our 26:55 senior digital editor who literally sets 26:59 the agenda of what corporate media and 27:02 what others are talking about in pop 27:04 culture his name is as you may have seen 27:06 him on X and other social media 27:09 platforms acyn he him a follow for sure 27:12 he clipped this right here this was a 27:15 speech that JD Vance gave it was so 27:18 disastrous where JD Vance was talking 27:21 about drinking diet Mountain Dew play 27:24 the clip it is the weirdest thing to me 27:26 Democrats say that it is racist to 27:29 believe well they say it's racist to do 27:31 anything I had a Diet Mountain Dew 27:34 yesterday and one today I'm sure they're 27:35 going to call that racist too 27:38 but it's 27:43 good I love you 27:50 guys I love you guys I Love You 27:53 Secondhand embarrassment from watching 27:55 that the biggest phony fraud weirdo they 28:00 are you know they are they're just 28:03 they're weird um and so here's a clip 28:06 that from JD Vance in an interview from 28:09 2021 with Tucker Carlson our editor-in 28:12 Chief Ron Philip Kowski Unearthed this 28:15 clip right here where JD van says that 28:18 kamla Harris and other childless cat 28:21 ladies are miserable with their lives 28:24 and that they are really harmful to 28:26 American democracy here play this 28:28 saying is that we're effectively run in 28:30 this country via the Democrats Bea via 28:32 our corporate oligarchs by a bunch of 28:34 childless cat ladies who are miserable 28:36 at their own lives and the choices that 28:38 they've made and so they want to make 28:39 the rest of the country miserable too 28:41 and it's just a basic fact you look at 28:43 KLA Harris Pete Budaj AOC the entire 28:47 future so JD Vance is hiding who he 28:52 really is I think it's obvious what's 28:55 going on there I don't have to get 28:57 deeper than that 28:58 but his self-loathing or whatever it is 29:02 that he's taking it out in such 29:04 misogynistic ways because he thinks that 29:08 makes him look like an alpha no it makes 29:10 you look like a schmuck it makes you 29:12 look like a [ __ ] makes you look we look 29:14 misogynistic and weak and and and a 29:16 loser and by the way there are just 29:18 there are tons of posts where he's 29:20 talked about childless cat ladies to 29:23 mock women and look we have people now 29:25 like Jennifer Aniston who don't usually 29:27 get involed 29:28 in politics at all and they are posting 29:31 about you know JD Vance or Shady Vance's 29:35 you know Behavior right here this is 29:37 horrific misogynistic Behavior you know 29:40 and I think one of the things too you 29:42 know as these Maga Republicans have 29:44 always tried to talk about like manhood 29:46 and being manly and and they've you know 29:49 that whole kind of movement that they've 29:51 pushed I think it is important though to 29:54 kind of really push back on that whole 29:57 idea you know and I'm not one to like 29:59 talk about oh this is masculine and this 30:01 is that but the reality is that if you 30:03 want to talk in those terms let me be 30:05 very clear a real man doesn't belittle 30:08 people and bully people right real men 30:10 don't mock people who are disabled real 30:12 men don't talk about women in that way 30:15 real men are supportive and encouraging 30:18 and help persons with disabilities don't 30:21 attack veterans and call them suckers 30:23 and losers you don't go on stage and 30:25 behave the way Donald Trump does all and 30:28 so these people like JD van are weak and 30:32 they're masquerading and doing this WWE 30:36 cosplay fascist act and then they bring 30:38 on people like Hulk Hogan you know who 30:40 go oh yeah I'm Hulk Hogan it's like just 30:43 enough of this crap going back to the 30:45 video we created at the Midas touch 30:47 Network we're not going back do not go 30:51 back to that crap I don't care what 30:54 political affiliation you have whether 30:56 you're a Democrat or Republican this 30:59 behavior is not either this behavior 31:01 that we're calling out is uniquely Maga 31:04 which is uniquely Trump it's made in the 31:07 image of a really weird deranged cult 31:11 leader sociopath which is why mainstream 31:14 conservatives which is why Independents 31:17 which is why liberals which is why 31:19 progressives which is why people who are 31:22 other things than Maga watch this 31:24 network and why we're supporting 31:26 democracy and just calling that Behavior 31:28 out by the way here's JD Vance in 31:30 another clip saying that Americans 31:33 without children should really have less 31:35 rights and they really need to face the 31:36 consequences for their actions here play 31:38 this clip when you go to the polls in 31:40 this country as a 31:42 parent you should have more power you 31:46 should have more of an ability to speak 31:47 your voice in our Democratic Republic 31:49 than people who don't have kids let's 31:51 face the consequences and the reality if 31:54 you don't have as much of an investment 31:56 in the future of this country maybe you 31:58 shouldn't get nearly the same voice now 32:00 people will say and I'm sure the 32:03 Atlantic and the Washington Post and all 32:04 The Usual Suspects will criticize me 32:06 about this in the coming days well 32:08 doesn't this mean that 32:11 non-parents don't have as much of a 32:13 voice as parents doesn't this mean that 32:16 parents get a bigger say in how our 32:18 democracy 32:19 functions yes 32:21 [Applause] 32:25 absolutely I mean here's the thing 32:28 though he's not a real person yeah right 32:30 he's he's a character it's no different 32:33 than Hulk Hogan right he is playing a 32:37 portrayal of of of a type of human that 32:40 he believes appeals to Appalachia he is 32:45 a Silicon Valley Tech bro who made his 32:49 money working for Peter teal who went 32:52 back to Ohio and created a sham charity 32:55 that exploited people who were suffering 32:58 from the opioid epidemic he funded 33:02 research from Purdue Pharma by hiring 33:05 their researchers and gave no money to 33:08 people who were actually suffering from 33:10 the the exact person who on paper if you 33:14 put that person and just said oh look at 33:16 this Democrat with those credentials to 33:18 all these Maga people they would hate 33:21 hate hate this guy and it's just it's 33:25 such an abhorent thing to say and it's 33:27 something that I think resonates with so 33:29 many women I think that's why it's 33:31 really hit a nerve with so many people 33:33 because everybody knows women in 33:35 different situations in different 33:36 circumstances who are going through 33:38 their own issues and for him to say that 33:40 they're almost like less than a person 33:42 is one of the most kind of Despicable 33:44 things imaginable and that's why I think 33:46 it's important that we constantly just 33:48 Hammer this drum beat of these people 33:51 are super weird and also the fact that 33:54 these people seem to hate our country 33:57 and the people who are in our country 33:59 like how many times during this Trump 34:01 these Trump rallies during Trump's 34:03 statements when he's on Fox with J when 34:05 JD Vance goes out and says how many of 34:08 their comments are not policy related 34:11 and are just either that weird grunting 34:13 that we played or are them saying how 34:15 horrible the United States is like like 34:17 just this is the worst country this is 34:19 the a country in Decline it's terrible 34:22 it's horrible and you have Democrats on 34:24 the other hand right now and and you see 34:27 this with Harris presenting an 34:29 optimistic Vision out there on the 34:31 campaign Trail and others who are saying 34:33 this guy is trashing our nation every 34:36 single day we want to improve our nation 34:39 but he actually hates our country and 34:42 wants to continue to regress in this 34:44 country and Jordy who's not here has 34:47 been very busy today in in Pennsylvania 34:50 going to various events Jordie spoke at 34:52 a little conference earlier in front of 34:54 a crowd which is super cool representing 34:56 the mightest mighty and he also had an 34:58 opportunity to link up with Pennsylvania 35:00 Governor Josh Shapiro is here of course 35:02 Josh Shapiro is uh being talked about 35:05 quite frequently as a potential vice 35:08 president pick for kamla Harris and Josh 35:11 Shapiro rebutted all of this 35:12 anti-American sentiment that's coming 35:15 out of people like Donald Trump and 35:16 Vance and the Republican party and I 35:18 think he really summed it up quite well 35:20 here is Jordy with Governor Josh Shapiro 35:23 so Trump keeps bashing America in his 35:25 speeches and his social media posts 35:27 what's your response I'm sick and tired 35:29 of and I got to tell you he is ill 35:31 informed I mean consider this for a 35:33 minute we are producing more energy than 35:36 ever before in this country which gives 35:38 us more freedom and more opportunity 35:40 think about this we have the fastest 35:42 growing strongest economy in the world 35:44 and we were kicking China's ass for the 35:46 first time in Generations think about 35:49 this this morning in America more people 35:52 went to work than ever before this is 35:55 the greatest country on Earth and Trump 35:58 you got to stop shitalking America we 36:00 got to start Standing Tall and being 36:02 patriotic and showing how much we love 36:05 this amazing Nation I am sick and tired 36:07 of him down talking shitalking this 36:10 country and instead we got to stand up 36:13 stand tall and be proud to be 36:16 [Music] 36:18 American that's what I want to see in an 36:20 American leader somebody who actually 36:21 talks positively about the country and 36:23 the future of the country and I think 36:25 speaking about America in those terms is 36:27 power powerful and I think finally it 36:29 almost seems like a lot of folks are are 36:31 might be watching the mightest touch 36:32 Network out there because we've been 36:34 hammering home this drum beat constantly 36:36 have you heard as you've heard 36:37 throughout this show and for those who 36:39 been listening for a while for a long 36:41 time that not only these people 36:43 dangerous they're so freaking weird 36:44 these are some weird weird weird people 36:47 and we saw Tim Waltz the governor of H 36:49 Minnesota he was pushing that same 36:52 messaging that these are some weird 36:54 dangerous folks these are these are 36:55 weird people on the other side they 36:57 wanted take books away they want to be 36:59 in your exam room that's that's what it 37:00 comes down to and don't you know get 37:02 sugar coating this these are weird ideas 37:04 listen to them speak listen how they 37:05 talk about things listen to how your 37:07 previous guests were right like you said 37:09 they've told them that they shouldn't 37:11 talk about race they can't help it it is 37:13 built into their DNA because there is no 37:15 plan there's no healthare plan there's 37:17 no healthare plan there's nothing to do 37:19 on this they want to take away our 37:20 alliances and leave Russia to do 37:22 whatever they want look they are bad on 37:24 foreign policy they are bad on the 37:26 environment they certainly have no 37:27 healthcare plan and they keep talking 37:29 about the middle class that as I said a 37:31 Robert Baron real estate guy and a 37:33 venture capitalist trying to tell us 37:35 they understand who we are they don't 37:37 know who we 37:38 are can't say it any better than that 37:40 these are some weird people man these 37:42 are some weirdos these are some weird 37:44 weird weird people meanwhile vice 37:46 president kamla Harris is out there on 37:48 the campaign Trail now every day 37:50 sometimes doing one event two events 37:52 three events making statements um we're 37:55 trying to cover as many of the kamla 37:57 Harris events as possible by the way 37:59 live on the mest Touch YouTube channel 38:00 so make sure that you're subscribed so 38:03 that you don't miss them but earlier 38:05 today on Thursday when we're recording 38:08 this live kamla Harris gave the keynote 38:10 address at the American Federation of 38:12 teachers union convention and part of 38:15 her pitch is something also that we've 38:18 been pushing a lot on this network that 38:20 we need to be talking about freedoms and 38:22 the freedoms that are at risk and that 38:24 these Republicans are trying to claw 38:26 back your freedoms and I think the vice 38:28 president summed this up quite well in 38:30 her keynote address in this moment we 38:33 are in a fight for our most fundamental 38:37 freedoms and to this room of 38:40 leaders I say Bring it 38:46 on Bring it 38:49 on Bring it on 38:51 [Applause] 39:09 [Applause] 39:11 KLA Harris also speaking about her 39:14 support for same-sex marriage uh 39:17 something that you could see clips of 39:19 her going way back to her time working 39:21 in California ensuring that same sex 39:24 couples have these fundamental freedoms 39:26 and she was speaking about her record as 39:28 well with the teachers today all the 39:30 while these extremists also attack the 39:34 freedom to love who you love openly and 39:36 with 39:42 pride they passed so-called don't say 39:46 gay 39:47 laws now I have to tell you so many of 39:50 you may 39:51 know in 2004 on Valentine's Day weekend 39:57 I was one of the first elected officials 40:00 in the country to perform same-sex 40:03 [Applause] 40:09 marriages so here's the thing it pains 40:13 me so to think 20 years 40:18 later that there are some young teachers 40:20 in their 40:22 20s who are afraid to put up a 40:25 photograph of themselves and their part 40:27 part for fear they could lose their 40:29 job and what is their job the most noble 40:32 of work teaching other people's children 40:36 and God knows we don't pay you enough as 40:38 it 40:39 [Applause] 40:42 is freedom it's a powerful concept it's 40:45 a fundamentally American concept and 40:49 when you lay it out in terms like that I 40:52 think it has a lot of weight behind it 40:54 and KLA Harris was also speaking about 40:56 the importance of labor the importance 40:58 of unions in the United States here's 41:00 what she had to say but there is more 41:03 that we must do President Joe Biden and 41:05 I promis to sign the proact into law and 41:08 I promise you I will keep that 41:16 promise because when workers join 41:20 together and demand what is fair 41:23 everyone is better 41:25 off understand and I I say this 41:28 everywhere I go understand you may not 41:31 be a union member but you should thank 41:35 unions and I'm looking to the cameras in 41:36 the back of the room not them but the 41:39 people who might be watching um you may 41:42 not be a union member but thank unions 41:46 for the 5day work 41:51 week for the8 hour work 41:56 day thank thank unions for sick leave 41:58 and paid family leave and vacation 42:07 time cuz the fact is unions helped build 42:12 America's middle 42:15 class and when unions are strong America 42:19 is 42:20 [Applause] 42:22 strong very very very powerful stuff 42:25 from vice president Harris and you know 42:27 it's great seeing her on the campaign 42:28 Trail and being able to message things 42:30 this effectively and reaching these 42:32 audiences and the enthusiasm one of the 42:33 things I didn't show you in playing 42:35 these clips is every time she speaks in 42:37 front of a crowd now the first like five 42:39 minutes is people applauding it's it's 42:42 fired up enthusiastic supporters inacted 42:46 rooms excited to see her and unlike the 42:48 energy that you see at these Trump 42:50 rallies where they're inspired by hatred 42:53 and it's all about how much they hate 42:55 people and and hate that other people 42:56 have right aside from them this is like 42:59 about love this is about positivity 43:01 these are inspiring movements that we 43:03 are seeing and so I want to again give a 43:05 huge shout out to our incredible 43:07 editorial staff I mean those clips that 43:09 Ron Philip Kowski posted that have 43:11 gotten tens if not hundreds of millions 43:14

helping do that let's 49:49 compare Donald Trump's speech and North 49:51 Carolina unhinged deranged with 49:53 President Biden's very solemn important 49:56 address in the Oval Office part of 49:58 President Biden passing the torch to the 50:00 next generation of leadership with vice 50:02 president kamla Harris also showed the 50:04 contrast in this symbolism between 50:07 President Biden's selflessness and 50:09 support of our democracy and Donald 50:11 Trump's utter selfishness and trying to 50:13 cling on to power through an 50:16 Insurrection and so President Biden's 50:18 speech I thought was powerful but let's 50:20 contrast it here's what Donald Trump 50:21 said first um at the North Carolina in 50:24 the Charlotte event I call him traveling 50:27 fashist circus events Donald Trump was 50:29 saying that he was supposed to be nice 50:31 but he's going to be very mean now that 50:32 was his point let's play this clip you 50:35 know I was supposed to be nice they say 50:39 something happened to me when I got shot 50:41 I became 50:45 nice and when you're dealing with these 50:47 people they're very dangerous people 50:49 when you're dealing with them you can't 50:50 be too nice he really can't be so if you 50:53 don't mind I'm not going to be nice is 50:55 that okay 50:58 they want me to be 51:00 nice compare whatever the heck that was 51:03 to President Biden and the Oval Office 51:05 talking about how much he reveres the 51:07 office of the presidency but he loves 51:09 this country more show the contrast our 51:12 fellow 51:13 Americans I'm speaking to you tonight 51:15 from behind the Resolute desk in the 51:17 Oval Office in this Sacred Space I'm 51:21 surrounded by portraits extraordinary 51:23 American Presidents Thomas Jefferson 51:26 wrote The Immortal words that guide this 51:28 nation George Washington who showed US 51:32 presidents are not Kings Abraham Lincoln 51:36 who implored us to reject malice 51:39 Franklin Roosevelt who inspired us to 51:41 reject 51:43 fear I rever this office but I love my 51:47 country more it's been the honor of my 51:49 life to serve as your 51:52 president but in the defense of 51:54 democracy which is a stake I think is 51:56 more important than any 51:58 title I draw strength and I find joy in 52:01 working for the American people but this 52:04 sacred 52:05 task of perfecting our Union is not 52:08 about me it's about you your families 52:13 your futures it's about we the 52:16 people and we can never forget that 52:19 contrast that to Donald Trump talking 52:22 about the ratings of the Republican 52:24 National Convention and lying that they 52:26 were good ratings they were actually 52:28 down um in some cases by close to 50% 52:31 some days 28% when you compare Donald 52:35 Trump's speech to John McCain it was 52:37 about 52:38 44.7% fewer viewers saw Trump's 52:41 convention so why let's just back up for 52:42 a second why are you talking about 52:44 ratings in your campaign stump speech 52:46 you're supposed your stump speech is the 52:48 speech that you go around for those who 52:50 don't know it's you go around City to 52:51 City you have basically the same speech 52:54 that you give to different cities you 52:55 might tweak it here and there to make it 52:57 location specific but you're supposed to 52:59 be delivering your policies for how you 53:01 want to better the lives of Americans 53:04 and Donald Trump spent his entire like 53:07 like a large large portion of his speech 53:10 talking about the ratings of his 53:12 convention which weren't even very good 53:14 complaining about kamla Harris her crowd 53:17 size and that he actually gets bigger 53:19 crowds than Cala Harris and that the 53:22 media is fawning over her how dare they 53:24 how was that making the lives of any 53:26 better once again it's weird it's weird 53:29 weird weird and here's that moment and 53:31 he's bragging about Hulk Hogan and and 53:33 and just just watch no they're great 53:36 they're great people and we had a great 53:38 convention we had a great convention we 53:40 had a convention that broke all 53:42 television 53:44 rating how good was the hookster right 53:48 oh and Kid Rock called he wanted to be a 53:51 part he was fantastic but they were all 53:54 fantastic it was the greatest it was 53:55 just a flaw this convention it was great 53:57 and uh the television ratings were 54:00 record setting ratings record you all 54:03 read 54:05 that they were record setting ratings 54:08 and 54:09 uh okay they weren't and Brett to your 54:11 point how is that going to be helping 54:14 anybody who is there and that's the 54:17 thing about the people who were there as 54:19 well you know they're so brainwashed 54:21 with the hate that's spewed on 54:22 right-wing media that what policies are 54:26 being discussed that's going to help 54:27 them because I bet if you were to ask 54:30 most of those people in the audience 54:31 there are you a millionaire are you a 54:34 decamillionaire are you a 54:36 billionaire um and I would guarantee you 54:39 that you'll probably not get other than 54:41 the people who Donald Trump personally 54:42 invited I doubt you're gonna have a lot 54:44 of decamillionaires and billionaires you 54:46 know who are there so how is Donald 54:50 Trump's plans and proposals going to 54:52 help those people whereas President 54:54 Biden and kamla Harris have a bottom out 54:57 middle up approach with 40,000 54:59 infrastructure now maybe 50,000 55:01 infrastructure projects um leading to a 55:04 manufacturing boom that's actually 55:06 helping Revitalize communities whereas 55:09 President Biden and vice president kamla 55:11 Harris support not just a minimum wage 55:13 but a living wage they support unions 55:16 they support um leave when people have 55:19 children they um want to lower the costs 55:21 of Health Care the cost of insulin's 55:23 been capped um you Medicare the 55:27 government negotiate now resulting in 55:30 lower costs for prescription drugs 55:32 across the board I mean if you go 55:34 through issue by issue the Biden Harris 55:37 Administration have policies that help 55:39 the people but the media corporate media 55:42 has turned all of this into such a 55:44 circus that we can't even talk about 55:46 issues and things but I think President 55:48 Biden passing the torch has allowed the 55:51 conversation now to shift in a way that 55:54 it wouldn't have not not because the 55:56 President Biden's fault it's because of 55:58 how this coverage is but compare what 56:00 Trump just said here's what President 56:01 Biden said about his record as a 56:04 president using objective criteria here 56:06 play this clip when you elected me to 56:08 this 56:09 office I promise to always level with 56:12 you to tell you the 56:15 truth and the truth the sacred cause of 56:18 this country is larger than any one of 56:20 us and those of us who Cherry that cause 56:24 cherish it so much the cause of American 56:27 democracy itself must unite to protect 56:31 it you know in recent weeks it's become 56:34 clear to me that I need to unite my 56:36 party in this critical Endeavor I 56:40 believe my record as president my 56:43 leadership in the world my vision for 56:46 America's 56:47 future all merited a second term but 56:51 nothing nothing can come in the way of 56:54 saving our democracy 56:56 that includes personal 56:58 ambition so I've decided the best way 57:01 forward is to pass the torch to a new 57:04 generation that's the best way to unite 57:06 our 57:08 nation you know there is a time and a 57:10 place for long years of experience in 57:13 public life there's also a time and a 57:15 place for new voices fresh voices yes 57:19 younger 57:20 voices and that time and place is 57:24 now could you 57:26 imagine Donald Trump or almost any other 57:29 politician saying that you have the 57:31 highest off but you could have never 57:33 with Donald Trump but with President 57:35 Biden you're have the Pinnacle of your 57:36 career the highest office in the land 57:39 your record speaks for itself over the 57:42 past three and a half possibly longer 57:44 now years what you've been able to 57:47 achieve Rivals any other presidency it 57:49 maybe one of the most successful not 57:51 like the most successful presidency in 57:54 history and I know you have corporate 57:56 media that both sides and a propaganda 57:58 media that tells a very different story 58:00 but if you look at all the objective 58:02 data that was always used this is a very 58:04 successful presidency one of the lines 58:07 that I often say is ask yourself where 58:09 your toilet paper was four years ago 58:11 under Donald Trump and ask where your 58:14 401k is right now you could use that uh 58:18 in other areas too with Donald Trump 58:20 which could be also ask you know about 58:23 the manufacturing boom right now ask 58:26 where you know Don where Donald Trump's 58:28 health care plan was that he promised 58:30 where was his infrastructure plan that 58:32 he promised that he would roll out he's 58:34 a fraud JD Vance is a fraud but take a 58:37 look at the results in our economy right 58:39 now strong growth in the second quarter 58:41 US economy grew at a 2.8% pace in 58:44 quarter 2 2024 it's way above 58:47 expectations of 1.9% a big jump from 58:50 1.4% in q1 consumer spending was the key 58:54 here up 2.3% in the quarter way above 58:57 expectations again under President Biden 58:59 and vice president KLA Harris we have 59:01 the strongest economy in the 59:04 world business investment is up more 59:07 than 5% nearly 16 million new jobs have 59:11 been created unemployment near 4% for 59:13 the longest stretch in 50 years wages 59:16 are up higher than before the pandemic 59:18 and inflation is down to 3% even with 59:21 the pandemic that is Donald Trump's 59:23 fault for the way he mishandled it um 59:26 currently the economy is growing faster 59:29 than even all of the prepandemic 59:32 projections thanks to President Biden 59:34 and KLA Harris have steered this economy 59:37 and Brett one of the topics that we talk 59:38 about a lot and it is important that we 59:41 focus on and I hope people are enjoying 59:43 that we are focusing on this because 59:45 lots of people have been asking us to 59:47 focus on this and this is climate change 59:49 and the difference between vice 59:51 president KLA Harris and Donald Trump 59:53 could not be more Stark Donald Trump 59:55 doesn't believe in climate climate 59:56 change Donald Trump says if anything 59:58 it's a good thing because it creates 1:00:00 more beachfront property and Donald 1:00:03 Trump says it's fake and it's a hoax 1:00:05 okay vice president kamla Harris takes 1:00:07 it seriously she has her entire career 1:00:10 Brett give us a climate change update 1:00:11 yeah and before I even get into vice 1:00:13 president kamla Harris and and her role 1:00:16 in uh helping the climate um I want to 1:00:19 First just preface this with a clip from 1:00:22 Donald Trump these are statements he 1:00:23 made just days ago sitting alongside 1:00:26 Shay D Vance on Fox talking about wind 1:00:29 you know this do you know we need twice 1:00:32 as much electricity as we currently have 1:00:34 in our country for AI but the 1:00:36 environmentalists won't let you produce 1:00:38 it they want wind the wind is BL it 1:00:41 blowing today the whole thing it's the 1:00:43 most expensive hoax in the world the 1:00:46 wind it kills our 1:00:49 Birds I have something to tell you 1:00:51 climate change is not a hoax climate 1:00:53 change is real and it is our pleasure to 1:00:56 be able to highlight the efforts that 1:00:58 kamla Harris and the Biden Harris 1:00:59 Administration has made regarding our 1:01:02 climate and the Stark differences uh 1:01:05 between them and Donald Trump who as you 1:01:07 just heard calls it a hoax says that 1:01:09 when the wind stops energy like the guy 1:01:12 the guy's a weird idiot as we said but 1:01:14 there was this incredible thread online 1:01:17 um that I want to share with you all 1:01:19 because it goes through kamla Harris's 1:01:21 history of accomplishments on climate 1:01:24 briefly and so I wanted to take a moment 1:01:26 on this episode here to go through them 1:01:29 uh this was compiled by Leah C Stokes 1:01:32 she is a professor of climate and energy 1:01:35 policy at the University of Santa 1:01:38 Barbara and she outlined vice president 1:01:40 kamla Harris's long record on climate 1:01:43 change and environmental justice and by 1:01:46 the way I could speak from personal 1:01:47 experience when I had the opportunity to 1:01:50 meet vice president kamla Harris not too 1:01:52 long ago just a few months ago climate 1:01:55 change and environmental justice were 1:01:57 things that kept coming out of her mouth 1:01:59 she kept speaking about these two topics 1:02:02 I could tell they were very important to 1:02:03 her when you look at her record it shows 1:02:05 so you go back to 2005 then District 1:02:08 Attorney kamla Harris in California set 1:02:11 up a brand new division there to 1:02:14 prosecute environmental crimes in 1:02:16 California I want to remind you 2005 1:02:19 that's two decades ago here was a quote 1:02:22 from her then she said quote crimes 1:02:24 against the en IR are crimes against 1:02:28 communities which as Leah Stokes notes 1:02:31 that's as true today as it was then 1:02:34 Harris's vision for climate action and 1:02:37 environmental justice is deeply embedded 1:02:39 in our climate laws Green Bank she 1:02:43 co-sponsored that as a senator cleaning 1:02:45 up pollutions from porch she did that as 1:02:46 attorney general in 2011 in LA and Long 1:02:49 Beach and her influence one of the 1:02:52 incredible things about this passing of 1:02:53 the torch moment that we're seeing is 1:02:56 her influence is all over all of these 1:02:59 Biden Harris policies that we have 1:03:01 talked about for so long on this show 1:03:03 and that finally the Biden Harris 1:03:06 Administration is getting credit for 1:03:08 like the inflation reduction act which 1:03:10 is Perhaps it is the biggest uh 1:03:14 legislation for climate that we have 1:03:17 seen in American history and so as a 1:03:21 senator then as vice president uh KLA 1:03:24 Harris Champion clean School buses she 1:03:26 secured $5 billion for that effort so 1:03:29 thanks to the vice president 200,000 1:03:32 kids now every single day are riding to 1:03:35 and from school on clean electric buses 1:03:38 as a senator Harris also authored 1:03:41 legislation to replace lead pipes if as 1:03:44 you know from listening to our show the 1:03:46 replacing of lead pipes is something 1:03:48 that is currently happening under the 1:03:50 Biden Harris Administration thanks to 1:03:52 the inflation reduction act they have 1:03:54 $15 billion 1:03:56 right now being spent on this effort to 1:03:58 replace lead pipes I mean how you 1:04:01 against replacing lead pipes Trump is 1:04:03 against replacing lead pipes it's the 1:04:05 CRA it's the craziest craziest thing the 1:04:08 Biden Harris Administration is on track 1:04:11 to replace 1.7 million lead pipes across 1:04:14 the country and I want to remind you 1:04:16 know of course it has an incredible 1:04:17 impact on the country which is important 1:04:20 which is existential quite frankly to 1:04:23 get our climate under control and to fix 1:04:24 these things I mean people's lives are 1:04:26 on the line if they're drinking water 1:04:28 from lead pipes but this is also very 1:04:30 important topics that voters want to 1:04:32 hear about and that voters have felt 1:04:34 like they' have been ignored for so long 1:04:37 and all these policies are finally being 1:04:38 implemented and are being championed by 1:04:40 kamla Harris so we see now gen Z this is 1:04:44 a topic that gen Z is all over over half 1:04:47 of young voters say the issue of climate 1:04:49 change is very important to them 1:04:51 personally 36% say it's one of their top 1:04:54 issues that is going to matter most to 1:04:56 them when they step into the polls this 1:04:59 year despite their kind of gloomy 1:05:01 Outlook that they've had this whole idea 1:05:04 that we are transitioning to clean 1:05:05 energy and the efforts of the 1:05:07 administration have provided them with 1:05:09 the optimism that things are not going 1:05:12 to be a disaster for them in the future 1:05:14 and we see that 57% of young people feel 1:05:17 worried about the future for their 1:05:19 generation so it appears now finally 1:05:22 kamla Harris is providing gen Z and 1:05:24 frankly all Americans with this much 1:05:27 needed feeling of hope that is finally 1:05:29 washing over all of us so I think these 1:05:32 are important things to be noting we got 1:05:34 to be talking about climate constantly 1:05:36 we have to be talking about 1:05:37 environmental justice and the same way 1:05:39 that we've been talking about the 1:05:40 economy and the successes of the economy 1:05:42 and it finally took all of this time and 1:05:45 it took Biden dropping out of the race 1:05:47 in order for the media to finally run 1:05:49 headlines like the CNN Headline that 1:05:51 we've been showing throughout this 1:05:52 episode the quote the US economy is 1:05:55 pulling pulling off something historic 1:05:57 hopefully we begin to see the same sort 1:05:59 of headlines in the mainstream press 1:06:01 about these efforts for the clim that's 1:06:03 why we got to stay laser focused we need 1:06:06 to keep pushing we need to keep getting 1:06:07 these messages out there and that's why 1:06:10 this is so important that's why you all 1:06:12 are so important in getting these clips 1:06:14 out there and
