Savings of up to $1 per gallon redeemable with $20 rewards in your loyalty account. The participating locations terms and conditions apply. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

1:01Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mithmobile.com slash switch. Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for 12 month plan required, $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms that would mean that he said keep funding Hamas through cutter. After he got the warning from the UAE that, hey, a major attack is coming. I can't explain it, but I just don't want us to forget as we close the three years, October 7th, that Hamas to your point slaughtered rate mutilated 1200. Right. So back to my question, Donnie. Why it's not like me. I didn't know he was going to do that because Hamas say, no, we're going to exterminate

2:01you. I'm going to say, I can't. I'm going to exterminate you. I can't. Oh. This is a crazy clip. Y'all, this has been a crazy day. And it's not even halfway over. We have so much new spring to you. The RNC midterm convention is tonight. We're going to be live streaming it here at seven o'clock. Come to I think it's going to be fun. I don't think it's going to be fun for them. I think it's going to be fun. You're going to see that it's going to be a disaster. And so we're last streaming it tonight at seven o'clock. It's linked below. Come watch out. Left with us. We can mock it all because it's going to be not well attended and very strange. Now before we get to all the RNC insanity, I just wanted to show you this clip here where Joe Scarborough is waking up. He's waking up to what's happening in Israel. Finally, I'm not going to say anything else other than finally. And there are still some people who are defending the indefensible of what happened over in that region. And here's the rest of that clip. I say that let's not forget that Hamas. Who is for God? You're not.

3:01Listen, who do I look like? Do I look stupid to you? Do I look stupid to you? Look at me. Look at me in my eyes. I'm looking at you. You're right. I'm looking at you. You're right. And be my eyes that I'm going to be distracted by you saying what I think I'm going to be distracted. By the way, I'm not here. God be. I said I'm here. It's very easy to live. And Hamas are terrorists. Let's not lose that track. OK, I'm not here defending any of them. OK, Alvin. We'll take your additional notice of what I've said a billion times. Hamas are terrorists. Now, can we talk about Netanyahu? Or do you just not want to talk about it? I want to say I'm not here to defend being Netanyahu. I don't know what went down. And we don't know. This is not concern. I do know. I do know. If it's happening to the North America, it would be. It's really important to me. But we ask questions about 9-11. Have other, the new logic? Are you logic? I'm willing to answer questions. I'm willing to ask the questions. Is the strategy of giving them money a smart thing to keep them quiet?

4:04Whatever his logic was? No. What I'm just saying is that we, in the discussions about BB, I don't want it to get lost on where the evil starts here. OK, I'm not defending BB Netanyahu. I don't know. We don't know what went down there. And hopefully history will teach us. OK, but again, Tony, you're making. All right. So what they're arguing about there is that there's a report they came out that says that Netanyahu was well aware it was going to happen on October 7th. He didn't have to stop it. And one could assume he didn't have to stop it because he needed some way to stay in power because his own government was starting to turn against him. And so he allowed what happened on October 7th to happen to Israel in order to create a shared enemy so that he could remain in power. We're not sure if that's exactly what happened. But we do not have reporting that says that they were well aware that some attack was going to be committed by Hamas against Israel. And as you can see here, folks are still not able to wrap their heads around the fact that, hey, maybe the Israeli government, maybe they're the bad guys. And I think that's like an internal struggle happening on the Democratic side.

5:04You have one ring of the party that's saying, like, hey, we should not be supporting Israel. Israel has done atrocities to citizens and any of folks like this who are like, when you have information in front of you saying that maybe this is not a great government, they're still not able to condemn it. That's what's interesting to me because that's our struggle right now on the Democratic Party. On the right, they have a struggle. And his name is Donald Trump, who by the way is the reason why this R&C midterm convention that's never happened before is happening again. We are live. You mean that tonight at seven o'clock? And it's all about him. There are pictures of him all throughout the Republican convention arena, as you can see here. Oh, not about Americans about Donald Trump. Again, are they going to fill this? We'll see. We'll see. I'm not sure. Now, here's what the R&C chair is saying, this whole thing is about. The president can campaign all he wants, but his name still isn't on the ballot. And Texas really is a race to watch because Democrats have not won a state-wide race there. Since 1994, but Democrats are saying if they can flip this seat, that is going to change

6:08everything deep in the heart of Texas. And there's no chance at that. I mean, Tallah Freakos is probably the most radical candidate in the country. People do not want to vote for a guy who believes in six gender, if you've got a non-binary, who wants to mutilate our kids, who wants to welcome that on the southern border. It's not going to happen here in Texas. And I think that, listen, like I said, we have the candidates across the country as the ones we need. We have the money. We have the resources. The president's going to deliver these votes. And that's why we're doing things like the Republican convention, which has never been done before. All right, so you see that there's no chance that Tallah Freakos is going to get elected, but the real clear politics average has currently got him up two and a half points. What do you say? Yeah, don't be concerned about that. If you listen to polls, the president will never be president. Believe us when we have the messaging, we have the candidates. Kim Paxen with the re-brutal primary, but he is a great conservative word that's one Texas three times. And after either the day, people want normal. People don't want extremists, these extremists left radicals, which Tallah Freakos certainly

7:12is one. But you tell me they want normal. Is Kim Paxen normal? Kim Paxen speaking tonight? Watch this. All right, so are you going to be changing your suit? Are you getting some sort of wardrobe change? Just a lot of pressure right now. Hey, look, I've got this sports jacket on. I love it. And we're going to just keep going. Texas is a relatively casual place in the summer. And it's hot. We adjust. We wear cowboy boots and we wear a blazer and we're all good. Now Rick Wilson, I must now say that Republicans are actually risking their reputation by going to this thing. This sort of fire festival RNC convention is another trap for a lot of these candidates who feel obligated to be there so that Trump will like them or support them or be with them. But who also are facing those hard realities on the ground where even in Texas, people are angry at Trump about affordability. They're angry about gas prices, about groceries, all the things that have put Trump in this political climate that he's that he's in right now are not going to change by two days

8:15as you know of the razzle dazzle of the Wammajama that they're going to try to do at this convention. And you know, as Trump always does, it will always be all about him. He will always be about, you know, about Donald Trump. And if the people are not reciting the same mantra he does, they're going to get crossways with him. And if they, if they do go out there and try to run on what he says at this convention, people are going to laugh him off the stage, I think. And the Lincoln project pointed out that as folks are spending more and more money, the RNC is asking people to spend a lot to attend. This event is perhaps his last big opportunity before November to commence Americans that he has the country on the right track. Do agree with this. Yamabah Resort and Casino at Sandman Well is bringing the biggest laughs to the stage. Mike Taboos with Ali Wang on August 28th and 29th. Enjoy Ralph Barbosa's Dry Humor on September 18th and 19th.

9:16Only at Yamabah Resort and Casino, celebrating its 40th anniversary. You in must be 21 to enter. All right, everyone. Welcome to ARCO Rewards Orientation. I'm Hannah. Whoa. Is everything okay? That's a code green. Someone just earned at least five cents a gallon in rewards. Wow. Another one. Well, that one's a code gold. The customer just redeemed savings of up to $1 a gallon. Impressive. What does that one mean? Oh, that's just picky. He gets excited when we talk about rewards. Savings of up to $1 per gallon redeemable with $20 rewards in your loyalty account, a participating locations terms and conditions apply. No, I don't. Listen, the average American has been brow beaten into thinking that things are so much worse than they were under the Biden administration. That's just a lie. Gas was $5 a gallon under the Biden administration. Eggs were $9 a dozen. I went to Walmart the other day. It was a buck 50. So there are 20,000 families that will not have to attend a funeral this year because

10:21their loved ones did not die of a fentanyl overdose. That is a direct result of President Trump closing the border. So if the mainstream media actually reported Republican wins, this environment would not be like this at all. And let's be super clear, Donald Trump is on the ballot. I'm very proud to have him come back to the state of Wisconsin anytime he wants to come. He's wildly popular in my district. He won my district three times in a row. And so Donald Trump is on the ballot. We're here to tell the story about what we've accomplished as Republicans over the next two years when people really start realizing it. You know, they're going to change the way they're thinking. And as you can see here, $25,000 for House Republicans ago, $100,000 for a VIP package, a quarter of a million dollars for a round table with Trump. Maybe you couldn't pay me to sit with Trump. $88,000 for a photo with Trump. $88,000 for a photo with Trump. $75,000 for a round table with Vance. Jesus Christ. I think that's a little high. $35,000 for a photo with Vance. So one Trump picture is worth three Vance photos.

11:22I don't think that's probably true. Now CNN talked about why Trump a polluza is so ill-conceived and why this actually might do the opposite of what they're hoping it will. Midterm convention, the idea, it seems, is to boost support among the Republican base. Is that idea what they should be going after, though, with a stout? See it in chief, data analyst, Harry, and you know, if the idea is to reach Matt mega voters who may not be showing up, is that a reasonable target? You know, this idea is so ill-conceived. You can just see it by the fact that they're doing it when the football season is starting. Who does that, my God? And when you look at the numbers, no, that is not the part of the party in which you actually need to motivate. You can see this here. Extremely motivated to vote in the midterm elections. 60% of Democrats are extremely motivated to vote. 59% of that card court Trump base, Maga Republican, 59%, the same as the Dems.

12:23The ones who are not motivated to vote are the non-mag Republicans, the people who are far less likely to approve of Donald Trump, the people who think that Donald Trump's Republican party probably should be the end of it. That's where the problem is. So no, it is not, in fact, the hardcore Republican base that needs that motivation. It is other folks that this convention simply won't be reaching because they'll probably be watching football like most Americans. And if it is a Trump appellusa as they're advertising here, these might be the Republicans least susceptible. Yes, that's exactly right. It's like, oh, let's focus in on Donald Trump. But in fact, the people who are the least motivated to vote are the folks who are the most likely within the Republican party to disapprove of Donald Trump. And in terms of like possibility for growth among the people voting in these congressional races, how much is there? Yeah, okay. So, you know, turnout is one thing that's so important right in a midterm election because turnout in midterms is lower than it is in a presidential year. But it's also about shifts, right? It's also about shifts within the electorate when it comes to if you were to turn out to vote, who would you vote for? And the truth is, Republicans don't need convincing that they should vote for Republican

13:27candidates because take a look here, dem gains in choice for the House by party. This is from 2024 to now to July of 2026, the last vote we have. Republicans are voting at the same level or say they're going to vote at the same level for Republicans as they did two years ago. The people that are moving to the left, right? The people that are moving to the left are the center of the electorate. Look at that. Independence, 12 points more likely to vote for Democrats. How about Democrats? They're eight points more likely to vote for Democrats. You know what these two groups share in common, independence and Democrats? They don't like Donald Trump to a historic degree at this point. They are not the people who actually would like that. This would be a Trump-a-pollosa. The people who would like that would be a Trump-a-pollosa, or those mag-a-publicans and Republicans large. And you can see is simply put, they are voting at the same levels. They don't need to be convinced to vote Republicans. They already are. The people who need to convince are people who don't like Donald Trump. Now CNN talked about how Donald Trump's support is really waning. And the president literally tweeted about this. He went, that man, when he gets hit, he hollars. Here is the CNN report and then I'll read you Donald Trump's tweet.

14:29Yeah, I was at the rally that you just showed on the screen there. And, you know, usual caveat supply. It was the middle of August and he did end up helping her get across the finish line. But I've been to a hundred of these things. I have to tell you the energy in the room was really, really low. The place was not packed. The seats were full, but the back half of the convention center was empty. And I was going around talking to people, doing interviews. And usually at a Trump rally, you have to scratch kind of hard and ask four or five, six questions to get the people who were there to say anything sort of nuanced or, you know, truthful about how they really feel about something going on with them. On this one, it was like one question. How do you think it's going so far? And a lot of them were saying things like rusty. The economy is not as good as I thought it was going to be. He's not focused enough. And these are people wearing t-shirts with pictures of his face on it. So I just had not seen anything like that before. And I thought it was a real sign of trouble for him. So we know that this hard, because he responded in real time saying very dumb and unhappy fake

15:33news CNN reporter, Caitlin Collins, really low ratings also actually. It's not true. And had a panel where discussions were all fiction and lies. You would think that CNN, which is suffering from terrible TV ratings, would get rid of their third rate anchors and try to bring credibility back to their one story network good is fading fast. So you all the Republican National Convention. Okay. We'll see you there, bitch. Now, there has been also news that a former R&C chair and Montana governor, Republican Mark Rackockick, Rsoxick, I don't know how you say your name. I'm sorry, Mark has endorsed Democrats, Sam Forsack for his congressional race. So things are looking good for the Democrats and not for Republicans. And let's just point out that attorney general Todd Blanch is speaking at the Republican midterm convention. And here's what former attorney general Eric Holder had to say about that. Yeah, with someone who held the position, what do you make of that? It's unprecedented and it's disgrace. Attorney's general don't talk about political things. He shouldn't be there. No, he shouldn't. He's going to be and we're going to watch it.

16:34Now, those Republicans are going there, but they don't want to be there. That's according to Fox News. Watch this. Kate, what are your expectations going into Dallas this week? Well, I've been told that there will be about 100 members and candidates there, which is a pretty small number given that we have, you know, over 500 lawmakers or 300 lawmakers that could be in attendance here. And like I said, there is just a little bit of a lack of enthusiasm. You know, the sticker price of this convention members have to pay at least $25,000 to go. That was a shock for some members who feel like their time might be better spent on the campaign trail. And I spoke to some of the 18 most vulnerable members. Most of them are not going and would rather be back home in their districts campaigning than with the president on the stage who they feel might not be the best figure to be so closely associated with right now. So we'll see, but it won't be that big of a number of people going to this convention this week. So we're going to fall. This whole thing is going to be a total chaos. It's going to be, I think, funny and entertaining for us, not for them. I think it's going to be embarrassing and see me in a clown show. It's going to look like a freak factory. I look forward to watching it with you tonight. Yeah, I hope you come because as you can see, Republicans don't want to be there.

17:37The energy is low. Donald Trump's brain is turning into mush. And so I'm going to be broadcast live tonight. I hope to see that at 7 o'clock. Bye.
