| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. It's Tim Miller from the bulwark, and I've been ranting and raving and blue in the face since Monday, |
| 0:06.4 | talking about the various conspiracy theories and false flag theories that have propped up around the latest, |
| 0:15.5 | I guess we could call it an assassination attempt. It was very, very far away from that at the White House correspondence dinner. |
| 0:22.6 | And so, you know, the YouTube minions here at the Bullwark were hoping that I would do a standalone video |
| 0:29.6 | where I debunk every conspiracy theory around whether it be Trump or the White House correspondent's dinner or anything else related to |
| 0:40.1 | our president and I was like you know I've been doing it all week I've been ranting and so |
| 0:47.1 | what we're doing is just like when I was a child and when the actors wanted to have a week |
| 0:52.3 | 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 what 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 |
| 1:11.5 | today. They talked to, I guess it was, people in the Democratic coalition. I'm not sure exactly how |
| 1:16.7 | they define that, but broadly speaking, people that might vote for Democratic candidates. And they |
| 1:24.5 | gave a series of things and said, is this thing definitely true, probably true? |
| 1:28.3 | Not sure. Probably false. Definitely false. And on the question of the assassination attempt against |
| 1:32.5 | Donald Trump in July 24 was orchestrated by his supporters to increase sympathy for him, |
| 1:38.0 | 46% said true, more than false. 39, about 3839 said false. |
| 1:46.9 | This is just, I think this is a real problem. |
| 1:49.9 | And, and, you know, it's going to hurt some people's feelings for me to say this. |
| 1:54.9 | But I feel like I have a responsibility and an obligation to try to drag people out from this. |
| 2:00.8 | Because I'm not saying that the 46% who believe that are the type of people who would storm the capital. |
| 2:08.7 | But I am saying that there is a parallel. |
| 2:11.7 | And I lived it on the right. |
| 2:14.3 | And I lived and watched as people truly believed that the 2020 election was |
| 2:20.2 | stolen, truly believed that there was a pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza parlor. |
