00:00Set up your own rally. It's safe to say that's garbage man acting like you know something you don't know

00:16Hey young man young man, just just listen for a second

00:20You have to be polite and civil when people are talking

00:24Then other people are talking and then you you get a chance to talk

00:30Set up your own rally

00:32So a lot of people worked hard for this

00:36Come on, man

00:41And just as an aside

00:43Have you noticed how the people who get the most fired up about a woman's right to choose are men who've never needed an abortion

00:52Never had an OB gyne never had a pap smear never had a cramp

00:59Don't know nothing about any of this, but they think they're the experts I

01:06Think it's fair to say I don't tell Michelle what to do with her body

01:14Just cuz he's a Democrat with a with a funny name

01:19He must not be like you

01:23He must not share your values. I

01:26Mean we've seen this

01:28It sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it?

01:33So so Mandela get ready to dig up that birth certificate

01:42They're out of malice or ignorance we've seen big celebrities reposting vile anti-semitic

01:47Conspiracy theories online that is dangerous. We know enough about history to know where that leads

01:55So here's so here's a general rule

01:58That has nothing to do with politics has to do with being a decent person if you read or see something on the internet

02:06It has some grand theory

02:08about how

02:10some people

02:12Whether it's blacks or whites or Jews or Catholics or immigrants or gays that those people are the cause of all your problems

02:20When you see or read something like that, it's safe to say that's garbage

02:25Some

02:28Of you may not remember

02:30But Hershel Walker was a heck of a football player. I

02:35Mean, I mean some of you are too young to remember but in college. He was amazing one of the best

02:40running backs of all time

02:43But but but here's the question

02:47Does that make him the best person to represent you in the USA

02:51Does

02:54That make him equip

02:56to

02:58Weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy in our future. Let's do a thought experiment

03:07Let's say you're at the airport

03:10And you see

03:11Mr. Walker you say hey, there's Herschel Walker Heisman winner. Let's have him fly the plane

03:18You

03:20Probably wouldn't say that

03:23You'd want to know does he know how to fly an airplane I

03:30Want to take a moment to say a prayer for a friend of mine, mr. Paul Pelosi

03:36Who was?

03:38attacked

03:4182 years old was attacked when somebody broke into his home looking for his wife Nancy

03:48and

03:50thankfully doctors believe he's gonna be okay, but

03:54Well, we'll let the investigators do their job but but here's one thing that we can feel we know

04:01If our rhetoric about each other gets that mean

04:11When when when we don't just disagree with people but we start demonizing them

04:16Making wild crazy allegations about them

04:22that creates a dangerous climate and

04:27If elected officials don't do more to explicitly reject that kind of rhetoric if they

04:34tacitly support it or

04:37Encourage their supporters to stand up

04:40Outside voting places armed with guns and dressed in tactical gear

04:47More people can get hurt
