Robinson has been exposed for reportedly advocating for slavery called himself a black Nazi praised mine conf that was the most recent one and yet on Thursday when all these scandals uh bubble to the surface he actually had the opportunity to drop out I believe that was the last day that he had to do so and he didn't take that opportunity and in fact Donald Trump and the North Carolina GOP rallied around him the interesting part of this is that there is a similarity with what happened with him and what happened with Biden Biden was weighing Democrats down and he stepped aside and now we have a candidate who's ascended in the polls so did Republicans just miss a massive opportunity to do exactly what the Democrats did in the wake of Democrats doing it yeah uh they did but I look I responsible governing party and there are people around that can push you know that could use their weight like an Pelosi to kind of make those sorts of arguments the Republicans aren't that like they're a cult like the only way to 1:00 get rid of him would have been for Trump 1:01 to throw him overboard right and Trump 1:03 doesn't ever admit error Trump had 1:04 already compared him to Martin Luther 1:06 King on steroids and Martin Luther King 1:08 2.0 which is kind of ironic because on 1:10 the porn message board that Mark 1:12 Robinson frequented uh he talked about 1:14 how he hated Martin Luther King and how 1:16 he he called him Martin Lucifer and then 1:18 a Rachel slur and then aami bastard as 1:21 well and so um you know like without 1:25 Trump pushing him out there there's 1:26 really no vehicle to do it it's funny 1:28 when you when you said um it is 1:30 reminiscent of I thought you were GNA 1:32 say something else it's reminiscent of 1:33 Roy Moore like for people that were 1:35 around um and and paying attention to 1:38 this stuff back in 2018 uh Roy Moore was 1:41 just this like horrifically homophobic 1:44 candidate in Alabama that the 1:45 Republicans have put up for Senate and 1:48 um and and he all and it came out that 1:50 he was he had uh practiced like kind of 1:53 uh uh sex with underage girls when he 1:55 was younger um and so like he was a 1:58 disaster of a candidate just like 2:00 Robinson is a disaster of a candidate 2:02 and and there was like this sense that 2:04 oh the Republicans going to be able to 2:05 push him out and they never did and the 2:07 Democrats ended up winning that cency 2:09 Doug Jones was the Democratic senator 2:11 from Alabama for a couple years uh just 2:13 because the Republicans had botched it 2:15 so bad and this is like very reminiscent 2:17 of that right but but even then I mean 2:20 that offers a test case in terms of what 2:22 happens when you have such a fatally 2:24 flawed candidate but not only with Roy 2:26 Moore we also have recent history we 2:28 also have all of the candidates in 2022 2:31 Don Balck Doug mastriano Carrie Lake 2:33 who's your personal favorite uh Dr Oz 2:36 Hershel Walker all of these people ran 2:38 behind other Republicans and all of them 2:41 lost yeah and and it's been happening 2:44 for a little while now and this the 2:45 thing it's just people ask me often when 2:48 I you know talk about this like are the 2:50 Republicans going to learn their lesson 2:51 is there enough losing to learn their 2:52 lesson and it's like obviously not like 2:55 this is a republican well it's it's a 2:57 two problem it's a Donald Trump problem 2:59 and it's a Republican voter problem like 3:02 Republican voters want the person that 3:05 is the most anti-establishment the most 3:08 antisocial they want the the things that 3:10 they're looking for in candidates is one 3:12 how loyal are you to Donald Trump two 3:15 how much do you own the libs you know 3:17 like three how much of a non-politician 3:20 are you right and so if those are the 3:22 qualifications that they're looking for 3:25 like it is going to attract insane 3:27 sociopaths right because like you don't 3:29 have to have like like traditionally 3:31 both parties the Democrats still work 3:33 like this to to be a politician you have 3:35 a resume right you either served your 3:37 country in the military or served your 3:38 community in some way or you a business 3:40 leader something right um and 3:43 Republicans don't want that now 3:45 Republican voters aren't looking for 3:46 that and so what they're attracting is 3:48 these weirdos who know that all they 3:50 have to do is put on the red hat and say 3:53 obnoxious things and be cruel to the 3:56 left and and say Donald Trump was the 3:58 greatest thing of all time time and 4:00 they'll get to like shoot to the top of 4:02 the list and so like the result of that 4:05 is you've end up with all the people you 4:06 named but like they're even more if you 4:08 go down to the house George Santos 4:10 Madison korne I'm MTG like these are all 4:14 ridiculous humans like and in no 4:16 responsible party would they uh you know 4:19 be nominated but right now um it's it's 4:22 sort of it's like moss to a flame right 4:24 like the party is attracting crazy like 4:26 they're the flame and the crazy people 4:28 are the moth and they're like well man I 4:30 can become a congress person if I run as 4:32 if I just you know put on the red hat 4:34 and so like this is going to keep 4:36 happening like until the Republican 4:39 voters like start sending a a message of 4:42 different incentives well Tim like even 4:44 even deep down even for these people who 4:45 are just the the most hardcore 4:47 Republicans you can possibly find the 4:49 most hardcore Trump acolytes you can 4:51 possibly find at some point they they 4:53 would still want to exercise some degree 4:55 of power so is there going to come a 4:57 point where they recognize that okay we 4:58 have to we have to strategic as opposed 5:00 to this Zero Sum uh absolutist position 5:04 on just finding the most 5:05 anti-establishment person possible I 5:08 mean at some point yeah you I mean I 5:11 guess if we're not there if if they keep 5:13 doing it in election cycle after 5:14 election cycle that's clearly not um 5:17 it's clearly not a priority for them 5:19 right now yeah I I I mean look look at 5:21 I'm from Colorado look at Colorado like 5:24 the Republicans haven't won anything in 5:25 Forever in Colorado and last time for 5:28 the Governor's candidate they put up a 5:30 woman that was running around talking 5:32 about how there's cat litter boxes in 5:35 the classrooms and like that's the prime 5:38 thing like this this crazy conspiracy 5:40 theory like like 5:42 so yeah sure at some point you know 5:46 something will change in our politics 5:48 the incentives will change and 5:49 Republican voters will come to their 5:50 censes but to be honest like right now 5:54 it's not IR what they're doing isn't 5:55 irrational if what they're looking for 5:58 is people who are going to burn things 5:59 down and that's what this is like it's 6:00 not a conservative party it is a radical 6:03 party of people that want to burn down 6:04 the government and and put thr put their 6:07 thumb in the eye of the Elites in the 6:09 left and and so I and it's kind of work 6:13 like it's not working in the sense that 6:15 Joe Biden is the president right but 6:17 it's a close election yeah you know like 6:20 this they very likely could win the 6:22 senate or the house or the presidency 6:24 like all three are still possible for 6:25 them they're probably the favorites in 6:27 the Senate and slight underdogs in the 6:29 house and the presidency so it's not 6:31 because of how polarized our country is 6:33 because of Jerry Mander because of all 6:34 these other issues that we talk about 6:36 like they're not getting like 6:38 annihilated right this is not like like 6:40 the last time a party really changed was 6:43 92 when the you know Democrats pivoted 6:45 into the center strategically changed 6:47 Donald Trump changed the Republican 6:48 party but but last time a before that a 6:50 party strategically changed was Clinton 6:52 in '92 for the Democrats the Democrats 6:55 had gotten slaughtered in 880 and ' 84 6:57 and 88 like those elections weren't even 6:58 close they were 7:00 massive blowouts like that's not what 7:02 has happened for the Republicans because 7:04 of how polarized we are so uh yeah I 7:07 mean eventually they will but to me I I 7:09 I I see this happening again in 2026 I I 7:12 mean like it wasn't like there weren 7:14 enough red flags on Mark Robinson I mean 7:16 sure we didn't know that he was posting 7:19 I'm a black Nazi on porn sites and going 7:22 every night to porn stores with a pizza 7:25 and sitting in the back room like so we 7:27 didn't know that like he spent most of 7:29 the B of his free time with porn but 7:31 like we did know that he had 7:33 bankruptcies that he was a holocaust 7:35 denier you know that he like he had all 7:37 these extreme positions on on abortion 7:39 and LGBT issues so like they knew and 7:42 they picked him yeah I'm curious because 7:45 you have somebody like Mark Robinson who 7:46 is who is so overtly flawed as a 7:49 candidate like you said Holocaust dener 7:51 has called for a a complete and total 7:54 abortion ban with no exceptions 7:55 whatsoever that's just you know he's 7:58 he's attacked Martin Luther King Jr 8:00 before this latest tranch of evidence 8:02 that he's attacked Martin Luther King Jr 8:03 so his his the depravity of this guy 8:06 isn't lost on anybody who is going to 8:09 look at this new slate of of evidence 8:12 against him and decide that the guy who 8:16 had done all of this disqualifying stuff 8:18 in the past was okay but now it's not 8:22 okay yeah um I think that there maybe 8:24 two categories of people for some and 8:26 this is what I think you're hoping for 8:28 if you're conal Harris 8:30 that there's some category of people in 8:32 North Carolina that are just like these 8:35 guys are too crazy I'm not going to I'm 8:37 just not going to bother this year I'm 8:38 taking this year off you know I think 8:40 just straight up just straight up straw 8:41 that broke the camels back yeah yeah 8:44 exactly just like I wasn't happy about 8:47 Trump or or Robinson anyway again this 8:49 is a minority of Republican party but 8:51 you know if it's 9 10% of the party 8:53 that's I mean that's a hugely 8:54 significant group I if if it's 3% of the 8:57 party that's a hugely significant 8:58 exactly exactly so I do think that 9:01 there's some people you know I kind of 9:03 you know think like in my mind I'm 9:05 thinking of like archetypes of you know 9:06 conservatives in my life who don't like 9:08 Trump but like you know are have gone 9:11 along to get along some of them just 9:12 might look at this ticket and they're 9:13 just like this is too crazy these people 9:15 are too sick like and I can't I'm not 9:17 going to vote at all and then I I do 9:19 think you have other kind of like 9:21 particularly in the college educated 9:24 business guy kind of archetype I 9:28 Governor is a real job 9:30 you know like there there are some there 9:32 are some people that work with the state 9:35 and have business with the state like 9:36 you know mid mid to higher income people 9:39 you know they might be like I'll send 9:41 the crazy guy up to the Senate because 9:42 who cares and because I hate liberals 9:44 right like I'm not defending that I'm 9:46 just saying like that's a rational 9:47 choice and by the way there there are 9:49 still 99 other Senators to drown that 9:51 person out if they're too crazy exactly 9:54 the governor is a real job they're going 9:55 to be Govern of the state I'm a small 9:57 business owner you know I'm attack 9:59 like I I send my kid to Public Schools 10:02 right like like there are a lot of 10:04 practical reasons why you could see um 10:07 somebody that's traditionally Republican 10:09 in North Carolina that was probably not 10:11 going to vote for him anyway seeing this 10:13 and being like we're just going to put 10:14 in Josh Stein like this person like we 10:16 can't have black Hitler like running the 10:19 state of North Carolina and and there 10:21 were already those people existed 10:23 because you know I mean it's crazy for 10:26 me even so surely for the viewers of 10:28 this channel to like wrap their head 10:30 around this but before to this 10:32 Revelation there were like it was like 10:34 what six seven eight% of the electorate 10:36 was saying they're going to vote for 10:38 Trump and Stein like these people 10:40 already existed so now you so that we 10:43 know that that type of voter exists and 10:46 I do think that you can just kind of 10:47 expand that number and hopefully for 10:49 kamla Harris which is why you see her 10:50 running the ads around this you can 10:53 nudge some subsample of that to just say 10:56 aox on both your houses right and by way 10:59 given the work that that you do at the 11:01 bullwark with Sarah Longwell voters are 11:03 weird and so it's not completely I know 11:05 it feels weird for viewers of this 11:06 channel especially to look at somebody 11:08 and say how could you possibly be a a a 11:10 Josh Stein Donald Trump voter but there 11:12 are lots of people like that and they're 11:14 in they're there election after election 11:16 where somebody's First Choice might be 11:18 might be Trump and their second choice 11:19 might be Pete Budaj jedge and their 11:21 third choice might be Bernie Sanders and 11:22 their fourth choice might be Ted 11:24 Cruz yeah I mean there are some unusual 11:26 voters out there you see them in the 11:28 Sarah long well focused group 11:29 it's like what are you thinking I so you 11:32 you know you you have to think about 11:33 that but I I do think in this case um 11:37 Robinson's dead in the water and this is 11:39 a Roy Moore Doug mastriana situation 11:41 like this is not going to happen so the 11:43 question is can he bring down Trump 11:46 that's not usually how these things work 11:47 right like usually the top of the ticket 11:49 weighs down the bottom of the ticket or 11:52 or boosts the bottom of the ticket 11:53 depending on how strong the candidate is 11:55 and for the highest office the most 11:57 famous person in the race but in this 11:59 case I I just I do I Harris is already 12:03 out with ads on this I know that Sarah 12:05 Longwell and those folks over at arvad 12:06 are going to be doing this like are 12:09 there ways to just kind of you know make 12:11 the whole party toxic for some of these 12:14 people that are not hard partisan 12:16 Republicans that are like traditional 12:18 they've been Republicans you know but 12:20 they have lives they have kids you know 12:22 they haven't paid ATT and they're just 12:23 like you know what this year this is 12:25 just it's just one year right like these 12:27 two like Trump with the resurrection and 12:30 and black Hitler like like it's just 12:33 enough is enough right and so I I I 12:35 think that that is realistic for Harris 12:38 to kind of get another point or squeeze 12:41 another point or two out of that which 12:42 which I mean Biden only lost North 12:44 Carolina by a point right well to that 12:46 exact point then and we'll finish off 12:47 with this doesn't the fact that you have 12:49 such close two extremists on on the 12:52 ballot in Mark Robinson and Donald Trump 12:54 neither one of whom offers anybody who's 12:57 not an extremist any 12:59 normal long-standing like Reagan 13:02 conservative usually if you have 13:04 somebody on the ballot who's worth 13:05 coming out for if it's not Donald Trump 13:07 then maybe it's a gubinatorial candidate 13:08 who's normal or or vice versa if you 13:10 have an extreme gubinatorial candidate 13:12 maybe you have maybe you hope for 13:13 somebody on the top of the ticket who's 13:15 worth coming out for but when you have 13:17 two people who are just outgunning each 13:18 other to see how extreme they can be 13:21 doesn't that doesn't that lower the 13:23 likelihood that those people will 13:24 actually bother turning out because 13:26 because you know if if if it's it's 13:29 between Donald Trump who right now is 13:31 just is is turning into a dumpster fire 13:34 hot mess and Mark Robinson who's come 13:36 out as black Hitler then there really 13:37 isn't any down Ballot or up or up ballot 13:40 reasons to to get off the couch yeah I 13:43 think that's right I mean so there are 13:45 two categories of people right like in 13:48 some way in a weird perverted way like 13:51 for magga voters like they there might 13:54 be kind of like a rally around the man 13:55 your man kind of thing for these two 13:57 right because they're just getting so 13:59 trashed by the national media so I I 14:02 don't know that it will turn out with 14:03 like the magga base but but there is 14:05 that next category over and I'm not even 14:07 really talking about the Haley voters 14:09 right I'm talking about like the 14:09 DeSantis like if you just remember the 14:11 primary I mean Trump was you know 14:13 getting about 50% 14:15 60% um in various places and then you 14:17 know we talked a lot about the Haley 14:19 people which is like that 15% yeah that 14:21 gets you to 75 there was another 20% 14:24 that was like voting for just santis or 14:26 you know and that that's the Intriguing 14:30 voter for me you know that it's like 14:33 that person does is was aware enough of 14:37 Trump's flaws to say that they're not 14:38 going to be with them in a primary yeah 14:40 um is pretty conservative but it's not a 14:43 mega like oh I love Trump so much person 14:46 right that person is probably is almost 14:49 almost all the time not all the time but 14:51 many of them are not going to like Mar 14:52 off right like they're not signing out 14:55 for that it's too stupid it's too crazy 14:57 it's too obnoxious can some might some 14:59 of those P people just say I'm taking 15:01 off this year I'm going to go to the you 15:03 know I'm going to we're we're just going 15:05 to kind of whatever do you know we're 15:07 going to go to the golf course today and 15:09 uh we'll see y all in 2026 right I think 15:12 I I do I really I think that that's 15:13 possible yeah well look I I think uh two 15:16 things uh first is that if and when Mark 15:19 Robinson loses it'll give him a little 15:21 bit more time to do uh to do to follow 15:23 his passion a little bit which is to to 15:25 log on to these sites and uh and just do 15:27 his thing uh the second is that for 15:30 those exact kind of Republicans I think 15:32 that that's why the work that you guys 15:33 do at the bull work is so important not 15:35 no when you're saying those kind of 15:36 Republicans you're not talking about the 15:37 Republicans that spend all day on porn 15:40 message boards and eating pizza in the 15:42 back room on new Africa yeah no no 15:45 different kind of Republicans I'm 15:46 talking about the the getable 15:48 Republicans out there who are not not 15:50 logged on to porn sites all day but for 15:51 the rest of those Republicans um or 15:54 Independents looking for something of a 15:55 permission structure to know that just 15:57 because you've voted Republican in the 15:59 past doesn't mean that you have to vote 16:00 Republican now that's why the work that Tim and his colleagues over at the bull workk um are are the work that they do is so important right now because there's very few Outlets that are doing what they do and so it's it's incumbent on the rest of us in the YouTube space in the Progressive media ecosystem to elevate that kind of content um to kind of draw those people away so I'll put the link to the BW work right here on the screen and also in the post description of this video I'm Brian terer Cohen I'm Tim Miller this is inside the right
