Trump gets booed

WEBVTT

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.560
Calarogu shark media from Washington, DC, where they aren't booing, they are

2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:16.440
chanting Trump. This is ballad that's
right today the boo birds are out and

3
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.760
Nicky Haley folded like a cheap lawn
chair in a hurricane. And now she's

4
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:27.719
sold out to a blowhard. Let's
hit this. Stephen Colbert joked. Trump's

5
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:32.479
social media account put out a bit
of disturbing content. It was a campaign

6
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.159
video with a headline about a unified
Reike. Now, before you get two

7
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.240
worked up, there's a simple explanation. Donald Trump wants to rule over a

8
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.679
unified Reike. Jimmy Fallon commented,
the Trump campaign just announced that they're now

9
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:51.640
accepting donations in cryptocurrency. Not to
be outdone, President Biden announced that he's

10
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:57.159
now accepting donations in Werther's originals and
ear quarters. Nicky Haley announced she'd be

11
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.240
supporting Trump. Mikeel Costa asked,
what the hell, Nikki, What happened

12
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.200
to that Margaret Thatcher quote about never
following the crowd? Is there another Margaret

13
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.519
Thatcher quote where she said just follow
the crowd? Whatever? But the big

14
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.359
story was Trump walking into the lions
den of the Libertarian National convention. It

15
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.239
was like a stand up comedian bombing
at a tough crowd, except this comedian

16
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.519
was actually trying to win over these
freedom loving anti government rebels. Talk about

17
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.719
a tough room. As soon as
the former president took the stage, the

18
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:33.959
booz started raining down like a Category
five hurricane of disapproval. Every time Trump

19
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.319
begged for their votes or endorsement,
the jeers grew louder, making it clear

20
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.879
these libertarians weren't buying what he was
selling. Trump tried to throw some shade

21
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.319
back at the crowd, mocking their
poor election turnouts over the decades, but

22
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.879
these feisty libertarians weren't having it,
hurling insults like lock him up and you

23
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.599
had your shot right back at the
former president. At one point, punches

24
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.480
were even thrown in the audience.
It was like pay per view UFC event

25
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.920
broke out amidst all the anti Trump
chaos. Can you imagine if that happened

26
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.479
at one of his MAGA rallies.
Those fine people would never But there were

27
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.919
a few bright spots for Trump.
He got some cheers when he called for

28
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.199
pardoning the January sixth defendants, because
what's more libertarian than trying to overthrow the

29
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.000
government? Am I right? Trump
told the crow, No, that's not

30
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.639
right, crowd, Although there may
have been crows there, who even knows

31
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.680
anymore. You can either nominate us
and give us the position, or give

32
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.120
us your votes. Otherwise, keep
getting your three percent every four years.

33
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.280
Adding maybe you don't want to win. It's almost poetic that after his supporters

34
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.719
tried to troll Trump with those silly
foul props, RFK Junior himself got unceremoniously

35
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:51.120
plucked from contention with a measly two
percent of delegates support. Talk about getting

36
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.800
egg on your face. Kennedy and
his vice presidential running mate Nicole Shanahan are

37
00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.560
now essentially free range candidates without a
major party to call home. They'll have

38
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.400
to really ruffle some feathers to get
on enough state ballots to be viable spoilers.

39
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.120
Of course, RFK Junior is putting
on a brave face talking about building

40
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:14.439
an alliance of independent voters to take
on the Republican Democrat corrupt duopoly. Easy

41
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.960
for him to squawk now that he's
been eliminated. The real winners here are

42
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.960
clearly the die hard libertarians who fiercely
defended their philosophy. And principles from the

43
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.479
perceived interloper Kennedy. They made clear
they're not just a vehicle for getting on

44
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:32.639
ballots. They actually believe in that
personal freedom, limited government stuff. In

45
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.280
the end, this bizarre chapter of
the twenty twenty four campaign was simply a

46
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:45.039
hilarious illustration of how deeply polarizing a
figure Kennedy has become. To his detractors,

47
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.840
he's a fringe conspiracy theorist unworthy of
a major platform, But to his

48
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.159
passionate supporters, he's the only choice
to finally break up the two party duopoly.

49
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.280
One thing's for sure. Whether you
view him as a maverick or a

50
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.159
clown, Robert F. Kennedy has
certainly injected some must see absurdity into this

51
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.919
race, and in today's politics,
sometimes laughter is the only medicine for the

52
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:13.639
madness. At a campaign rally in
the Bronx on Thursday evening, Trump promised

53
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.439
to restore safety to New York City
streets and then enthusiastically brought a few special

54
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.959
guests on stage, rappers Chef G
and Sleepy Hallow. Chef G is facing

55
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.480
attempted murder charges brought by the Brooklyn
District Attorney last year as part of a

56
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.279
major gang takedown. He was also
in prison for an unrelated weapons sentence.

57
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:40.240
Meanwhile, Sleepy Hallow faces conspiracy charges
in the same gang case and previously served

58
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:46.000
eight months for weapons possession. AH
the irony of Trump promising to restore safety

59
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.319
to New York streets while enthusiastically parading
around rappers facing serious criminal charges like attempted

60
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:58.360
murder and gang conspiracy. Talk about
mixed messaging. It's almost comical to envision

61
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.720
the former president, who has railed
a against filthy homeless encampments and violence plaguing

62
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.839
the city, sharing a stage with
artists allegedly tied to vicious gang activity involving

63
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.439
shootouts and innocent bystanders getting struck by
gunfire. Not exactly the law and order

64
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.319
image he's going for. Love him
or hate him, you've got to admit

65
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.000
there's never a dull moment with Trump
on the campaign trail, surrounding himself with

66
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.759
attempted murder suspects as he vows to
take back the streets. Just another day

67
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.879
of high wire political theatrics for the
former president. The cleanup on aisle messaging

68
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:32.680
will have to wait for another day.
