And I have been ranting and raving and Blue in the Face since Monday, talking about the various conspiracy theories and false flag theories that have propped up around the latest, I guess we could call it an assassination attempt. It was very, very far away from that at, at the White House correspondence dinner. And so, you know, the YouTube minions here at the Bulwark, we were hoping that I would do a standalone video where I debunk every conspiracy theory around, whether it be Trump or the White House Correspondent's Dinner or anything else related to our president. And I was like, you know, I've been doing it all week. I've been ranting. And so what we're doing is just like when I was a child and when the actors wanted to have a week of vacation in the summer and your favorite sitcom would do a clip show. We're going to do a clip show of all of my rants about this. And here's why this is important. Here's why I think I want to do this. And I hope you didn't just turn it off when you heard you're going to get a clip show of me talking about conspiracies about Trump assassinations. There was a Manhattan Survey Institute that came out that I saw today. It talked to, I guess it was people in the Democratic coalition. I'm not sure exactly how they define that, but broadly speaking, people that might vote for Democratic candidates, and they gave a series of things and said, is this thing definitely true? Probably true. Not sure. Probably false, definitely false. And on the question of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in July 2024 was orchestrated by his supporters to increase sympathy for him, 46% said true, more than false, 39, about 3,839 said false. This is just, I think this is a real problem and it's going to hurt some people's feelings for me to say this, but I feel like I have a responsibility and an obligation to try to drag people out from this, because I'm not saying that the 46% who believe that are the type of people who would storm the Capitol. But I am saying that there is a parallel. And I lived it on the right, and I lived and watched as people truly believed that the 2020 election was stolen, truly believed that there was a pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza parlor. And you saw the results of that. It doesn't, it doesn't mean all 46% of these people would be, would do something crazy. But it's like if 0.1% of that 46% get radicalized into doing something crazy, that could cause unimaginable damage. We don't know what kind of damage it could cost. And you can't be in the pro democracy movement and also support just attacks on the truth. Speaking the truth and understanding the truth is a bedrock principle of democracy. Because if we don't have that, if we don't have a free press, if people aren't able to, to educate their fellow Americans, then everyone becomes susceptible to demagogues and dictators. And I think that there's good reason. We could do a whole seminar on why I think the right is much more susceptible to demagogues. There's no doubt about that. That doesn't mean that the pro democracy movement, that the left, broadly defined, shouldn't be protecting themselves from sliding down a path that leads. You know, some are not exactly the same, but somewhere where they're also susceptible to, you know, someone that takes advantage of their, this reality. And so anyway, you'll get to see all my rants, but just on Butler one more time, because it's so important. Like we literally have. There's a New York Times reporter, not, not a White House reporter, not a MAGA reporter, not a Trump person was sitting underneath Trump and he sat there with his camera, and as the bullet came by, he went. And you can see in the pictures the bullet in front of Trump. You see him turn his head, you can see it whooshing in front, you can see it whooshing by him. Then you see him grab his ear, and then you see him go down. And then you see, not in Doug Mills's pictures, but then, you know, from other vantage points, because there are a lot of other media people. You see Corey, you know, go down and he ends up dying, of course. And then Trump gets taken to the hospital, the nurses there. It's just like, we saw it, we saw it, you know, the Thomas Crook. Are there questions? Is there more information that could be gathered? Okay, maybe, you know, maybe. But what we know is like, it wasn't ketchup. If it was ketchup, the photographer from the New York Times that was right there would have caught the ketchup. And when Trump went to the hospital, the nurse that was at the hospital would have looked at the ketchup on his face and said, this is ketchup. It's not blood. Like, it wasn't. We don't have a crisis actor at the Butler hospital. Like, it's a real nurse. She's been interviewed by people. So anyway, now look at me. You've got me all riled up again. If you have somebody in your life that is susceptible to this kind of stuff and you just want to say, hey, give the other side a chance, I understand. Trump is a liar. He can't put anything past him. I get it. I'm with you. Trump is a fucking liar. You can't put anything past him. And we call him out on a lot of his lies because you know what? We're based in facts. And we can identify the lies because we look at evidence, we look at facts, and we say, what you're saying is not true. This is what's true. And so, yeah, Trump is a liar. Trump is a charlatan. Trump is. You can't put anything past him if he's trying to engage in fuckery. I'm with you on all that. But you can't say, okay, Trump is a liar. And now I don't believe my eyes anymore because I just can't. Anything that Trump says can't be true. That's the path towards crazy town. And we don't want anybody going to crazy town. So if there's someone in your life you feel like you can help attach themselves a little bit to the real
