 I don't know about you guys, but I still haven't recovered from the DNC convention last week Like I feel the residual depression that I usually feel after being demoralized You know watching one of these ghouls officially become the nominee and accept the nomination of their party But like it or not the RNC convention is now here And I don't know how to even cover this because the unhinged insanity that I'm expecting Like they're almost outperforming my expectations in the sense that you know I expect a couple of really funny things to talk about and cringe worthy moments to talk about per night But we're already at day one and there's like dozens of moments that I have to address So I just want to isolate one moment in particular a 52 minute speech by Donald Trump Apparently this isn't like his official acceptance of the nomination But it's still him giving a speech for whatever reason like if you look up the key speakers here Out of the 12 key speakers six of them are members of the Trump family Six of them half of them like even if it were someone who I supported like it was Bernie Sanders Like if Bernie had his wife and then his son and then his grandchild and then his uncle and his brother talk Like that would irritate me right? It seemed a little bit narcissistic But I guess that Republicans are okay with this But let's get to some moments that stood out with Donald Trump's speech because I mean to say that this was unhinged Is an understatement because you always expect unhinged with Donald Trump, but he went above and beyond my expectations here so his supporters were chanting four more years, of course and He then corrected them and said no, I want you to chant 12 more years Because that's what triggers the lives take a look If you want to really drive him crazy, you say 12 more years We caught them doing some really bad things in 2016 let's see what happens we caught them doing some really bad things we have to be very careful because they're trying it again With this whole 80 million mail-in ballots that they're working on Sending them out to people that didn't ask for them. They didn't ask they just get them and it's not fair And it's not right and it's not going to be possible to tabulate in my opinion. It's just my opinion We have to be very very careful and you have to watch every one of you have to watch Because bad things happened last time with the spying on our campaign and that goes to Biden and that goes to Obama And we have to be very very careful to be very very careful and this time They're trying to do it with the whole post office scam. They'll blame it on the post office. You could see him setting it up Be very careful and watch it very carefully because we have to win This is the most important election in the history of our country Such a funny joke. He keeps using this joke about you know him running for a third term or seeking, you know more years in office It's super funny But since this is that the actual official RNC convention then this tells us that the official Republican Party condones authoritarianism Trump subverting the Constitution in order to seek out additional years now I get it. I'm too much of a pro clutching prude here To denounce this authoritarianism, but like imagine for a moment that Obama did this or Bernie Sanders did this if he were president They would lose it. They would freak out and lose their mind So the fact that Trump is just doing this and brazenly joking about this again as I said in my video last week It's not that I'm worried that Trump is gonna be a dictator It's that he is warming Republicans up to the prospect of authoritarianism So down the line when a more competent demagogue comes along, you know They're already primed to believe that maybe a dictatorship is okay if it's someone on their team But that's not the only thing that he said in this Little clip that was unhinged. He also accused Democrats literally of trying to steal the election and his evidence is a Million ballots. They'll be sending them. They'll be dumping them in neighborhoods. There'll be people are gonna be picking them up They'll be bribing. They'll be paying off people to grab some This is going to be one of the greatest scams and it's common sense. This has nothing to do with politics It's common sense. Anybody you don't have to know politics. They're gonna mail out 80 million ballots It's impossible. They have no idea who's mailing them mostly Democrat Democrat states and Democrat governors were supposing they don't mail them to Republican neighborhoods That means they're not gonna get them So they're gonna complain and the election is gonna be over and then they're gonna complain and then they'll say oh well We didn't get it big deal in the meantime. You might lose the election this is the greatest scam in the history of Politics I think and I'm talking about beyond our nation. He is utterly shameless now I've said this before he's a compulsive liar So half the time he probably doesn't even realize that he's not telling the truth But he knows what he's doing here. He knows what he's doing here. He is brazenly lying making things up Fabricating claims that there are no evidence for he says Democrats just won't mail ballots to Republican neighborhoods Okay, citation needed because that's not the way that things work I think it's Utah, which is a red state that has made a voting and Republicans are doing just fine in Utah But he just makes things up. He doesn't even care He just doesn't like mail-in voting and he's trying to fear monger about mail-in voting and He doesn't like that his own postmaster general was forced in a way to cave to pressure and not Brazenly destroy the US Postal Service ahead of an election where we're expected to see a record number of people vote by mail So he's back to square one where he has to fear monger and lie about mail-in voting Shameless and this is dangerous for a president to do as you try to rig the selection by sabotaging and lying about mail-in voting You're accusing the other team Democrats of doing what you're doing now he went on to criticize Democratic governors for shutting down their states because They're not shutting down their states according to him because of the pandemic and that's the responsible thing to do to protect people They're shutting down their state's economies to hurt Donald Trump This is all a scheme to hurt Donald Trump a worldwide pandemic all about Donald Trump You have a governor who's in a total shutdown move. I guarantee on November 4th. It'll all open up It'll be fine like On November 4th, you know these Democrat governors They love shut down until after the elections over because they want to make our numbers look as bad as possible For the economy but our numbers are looking so good and frankly I used to say a V and people would say well Maybe not I don't think so some would say no way. We have a super V. You're right He literally believes that the world revolves around him. Everything is about him Because he's saying here that these Democratic governors they shut down their economies because if they shut down their economy at the state level Then maybe they'll hurt the national economy and in turn hurt Donald Trump because he knows the incumbent president Is usually blamed if the economy hurts before an election But the problem is wouldn't that be self-sabotage because if you're a Democratic governor You may also be up for reelection in 2020 So wouldn't it hurt you if you hurt the economy of your own state? Maybe it's the case that they're just doing the thing that you have to do during a global fucking pandemic But no, this is Donald Trump. So everything is about him everything Now he was really sending me some mixed messages here about the shutdown because he then Promoted his decision to shut down the economy saying that doing so led to him saving millions and millions of lives Instead of the fact that we're approaching 200,000 Americans that have died Oh, but then he goes back to complaining about shutdowns because the governor of North Carolina wouldn't allow more than 10 people at their convention When the stadium that they rented actually had a capacity of 19,000 people and he didn't appreciate the fact Now the governor was too rigid here and you know, he said you say 10 people but it allows for 19,000 people So maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle So he likes shutdowns. He doesn't like shutdowns. He thinks they're necessary But then they're unnecessary and some governors are a little bit too rigid in their stance. I mean Either way, it's all about him and anything that governors do is all to hurt or help him Republican governors are trying to help him Democratic governors are trying to hurt him Let's pretend that COVID-19 is something that only affects the United States It's all about Donald Trump That's like what he's trying to present you with here and a lot of people like they do kind of live in this bubble where They don't realize that there are actually other countries that exist outside of the United States in the world Like believe it or not other countries have Single-payer Medicare for all other countries have done things that we want to do that We're saying we should do that you say will lead to the apocalypse like, you know tepid gun control but I mean Republicans are very Locked up in their echo chamber. I mean, I shouldn't talk. I'm in one, too but they want to think that everything is about Donald Trump and Anything that Democrats do that's bad Of course is because they're trying to hurt Donald Trump now if you thought that that was crazy on a hinge Wait until you get a load of what he said about the military. I took over a Country whose military was depleted and whose cupboard on this front were bare the cupboards were bare We didn't have anything We didn't have a thing. We had very very little The cupboards were bare he says About the United States military the largest military in the world. It was depleted Really is that so Okay, well, let's look at military spending throughout the years And we have this great graph provided to us by the brilliant Andrea witty of connect the dots USA org and As you can see here military spending under Obama was not down our military budget was not gone Our military was not depleted Obama increased military spending and then when Trump got in he ramped up spending with Democrats they are the ones who approved of an increase in military spending So for him to say that the military was depleted under Obama like that's not just factually incorrect for him to say that that is laughably absurd Laughably absurd we spend more than the next what is it six or seven countries combined most of which are our allies and We depleted the military under Obama who increased the drone war After he took office like what are you talking about who believes this you can support Donald Trump and Think that we should have a large military, but if you believe this you're just the room. You're stupid. Who believes this Nobody believes this nobody believes this Democrats and Republicans consistently have voted to increase the military budget even Elizabeth Warren one time Voted to increase the military budget. So what are you talking about like to actually believe this? You're living in an alternate reality So he's pretending like there's a problem and then he says I fixed that problem that I created that I want you to believe was actually a thing case in point He claims that Democrats removed under God from the pledge and that he's gonna restore under God from the pledge I can promise you a few things number one We will not be taking the word God out of the pledge of allegiance Like they did a number of times at their caucuses, so they took the word God out. I heard I heard it I was listening. I said that's strange. You know sort of weird. You've heard it all your life, right under God under God Do I said those two words are missing? Thousands of Americans are dying because they don't have healthcare our planet is literally becoming uninhabitable a pandemic is Ravaging our country, but Donald Trump wants you to know he's gonna protect the words under God in the pledge I Don't care. I mean, this is not a serious person. This is not a serious president This is a clown. This is a clown and a constant theme with regard to his speech here That you're gonna see is that he just makes things up now This is an uncommon for Donald Trump, but he basically claimed Republicans are going to protect patients with pre-existing Conditions he said this but then when we come back, I'll tell you why he's lying if you don't already know so we protected your Pre-existing conditions very strongly protected pre exist and you don't hear that but we very strongly protected your pre-existing Conditions so we got rid of the horrible individual mandate which cost everybody a fortune and we strongly protected every Republican is sworn to protecting your Pre-existing conditions. It's very important. You won't hear that You won't hear that from the fake news the reason why you're not hearing about this from the fake news is because it's not true his Justice Department filed a lawsuit to prove that the ACA is unconstitutional which means that if they can Prove in a court of law that Obamacare is unconstitutional that means the law would be dead and With the death of Obamacare comes the demise of protections for patients with pre-existing conditions But while his own administration is trying to undermine the ACA and kill it entirely He's saying no we want to protect people with pre-existing conditions and all Republicans want to do that as well. I Mean, I don't even know why he prepares like you could just make things up Like if you're already making up this much bullshit, why not like go a step further and say I am going to Give everyone health care in this country I'm gonna make sure that people in this country will be able to take a pill that gives them superpowers They can have superhuman strength or flight like if you're lying this much Like what's stopping you from just taking it to the next level like you're already in delusional territory to where your lies are Verifiably false and you don't even have to like Google to see if you're lying like you can just see you're lying because what you're saying is Laughably absurd. So what's stopping you from just saying? I'm gonna give everyone a fucking pony like go go full vermin supreme at this point You have nothing to lose because you're already at that territory Like you're approaching straight-up delusional territory with the amount of lies that you're spewing And I mean you can already argue that Trump is delusional So I just I don't understand like just take it a step further already You're already lying like words don't mean anything. So just lie like straight up say, you know Everyone in this country gets a million dollars if dollars if I'm reelected like why not what is stopping you in actuality Nothing he says anymore is founded in reality He's living in his own alternate reality where Joe Biden is supposedly controlled by the far left and he handled COVID-19 like a grown-up and he keeps reminding you about the phenomenal job that he did as Thousands and thousands of Americans die like he's just living in his own alternate reality And his only hope is that you believe him and live in that alternate reality with him But at some point, you know that bubble is gonna burst and People are gonna realize that having a reality television show stars president isn't going to benefit them It's just a matter of when do they realize that it's hurting them and not helping them Will it be after the selection or before it? Let's all hope it's before it But I mean either way like I'm ready to end this television show already this reality show that we're all living in I'm done with it. I'm sick of it. Donald Trump is Insufferable and just listening to him speak is it's so annoying like I'm sick of it I'm sick of the D hands. I'm sick of everything like just shut the fuck up already like I'm so done with Donald Trump I straight up have full-on Trump derangement syndrome at this point And I'm willing to admit that like he is grating on my nerves. I can't take it anymore So, yeah, this is a day one. We've got four more days to go Five more days possibly. I don't know either way. It's too much and I can't take this shit anymore Fucking losing it You could support the humanist report at patreon.com Slash humanist report, but trust me I'd have way more supporters at patreon if that was my podcast said
