David, an 18 year old waitress in a restaurant said that she was voting this year for the first time, “Tell me, who should I vote for president?” She said that I know Trump did a lot and Biden just sits behind his desk! - I was surprised at her reaction when I told her about the many things Biden has done, she was in shock! Example: Job numbers, almost 17 million compared to Trump’s job numbers, almost 3 million, and many other things: Chips Act, infrastructure and etc. - I told her that she has less freedom now than her mother! - It implies that some people don’t do any homework at all when it comes to voting, and that some succumb to the loudest voices, the biggest lies, and what or who grabs their attention the most. 😮 God, help us!
Same exact situation with my father. Despite being a center-leftist, he’s become convinced that Biden has done absolutely nothing for the country. I had to remind him (yes I’ve done this more than once) of what Biden has done during his presidency, only for him to pivot “yeah but Biden is old”. A lot of the points he tried to bring up were right-wing talking points. What I’m saying here is that the right seem to project a much louder voice (facts be damned) than the left, especially when it comes to short, bite-sized content on the internet, which typically exclude all sorts of context and circumstances. It’s all about the messaging and getting the word out in this day and age…
same exact situation with my father. Despite being a center-leftist, he's become convinced that biden has done absolutely nothing. I had to remind him (yes I've done this multiple times) of what kinds of policies he passed and what he's done to provide for the common wealth, such as the student loan debt forgiveness, lowering drug prices, allow negotiation with drug companies for lower prices, record-breaking job growth, stabilizing inflation rates, etc etc. He'd often pivot to saying "yeah but biden is old", completely forgetting what trump has done, such as inciting violence in multiple occasions, his criminal trials, indictments, etc etc, along with other right-wing talking points. What I'm trying to say here is that left-wing messaging dwarfs right-wing messaging by a landslide, especially when it comes to reaching less engaged voters. That's why more people know biden as being "senile" than trump being a criminal and other things...
It doesn't help that our country prioritizes work over everything. She probably has to work so much on top of school that the odds would be she cannot be that knowledgeable.
@@names_are_uselessBetter propaganda? Have you not heard media call Trump Hitler, a dictator, fascist. A threat to democracy? Or have you been burying you head in the sand, when the say that?
When you look at the stark similarities between what Hitler said and did coming to power to Trump, then it's irresponsible to *NOT* call Trump a fascist...
@@alanabdollahzadeh often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition…… just on day one though so we may be safe.
You mean like in 2020? It's amazing how they refused to believe the results but somehow miraculous trump still left office. It probably won't happen again.
David, the best explanation I heard was the Secret Service were in charge of the immediate area and long distance and local police had mid-range, as in near the outside perimeter. Once the shooter was seen, the delay in responding was because of the communication gap between local law enforcement and the Secret Service. Each one had to relay transmissions to a go-between which took time.
Well it is two sides with very different ideas and little in common we can't run from that. They only way to avoid using that rhetoric is to unify the parties which in today's political climate there's just no way, and the voters being to one extreme or the other today doesn't help the situation. I understand that's not everyone but it's a significant amount now than what it was.
@@trentonsellers7600 "voters being to one extreme or the other", you believe democrats and their voters are extreme - the party is barely "left"? Can you elaborate on the apparent _extremism?_ I suppose it would have to be the cranky polar opposite to Q-Anon, Project 2025, executing drug dealers, great replacement theory, etc etc.
@@jackjude first thanks for engaging in peaceful discourse and debate vs just hatred. Im a political student and democratic team/solo debater with a record of 63-2 I'll be happy to elaborate. We all know what the extremist right is, its a very ugly, nasty and violent world that has no place in democracy nor America with genuine caring human beings, thats first of all. The extremist left would be things like extreme feminist who think men are absolutely useless and serve no purpose, it would be parts of the lgbtq community for example having sex and being fully naked in the literal street at pride parades which happens at alot of them but not most, canceling people for things they said years upon years ago when they were very young and not really capable of rational thought due to lack of world experience so they should be canceled now for something they said then, self diagnosing themselves with several mental health conditions that real people are suffering everyday with that you would need medical diagnostic testing for, me too movement complaints that were just bad dates vs actual assaults and some even completely fabricating entire stories of assaults in court and were disproven, completely not even acknowledging they are human beings and identifying as literal animals and changing their full appearance to be that, parts of blm that burned down businesses and riot, these are just some examples I can go further about other really important leftist movements and ideas that some took to the very extreme and now alot of the world just sees what started as great movements as a joke now because of it, but the reality is our extreme is nothing like the right, who are truly horrible people and have very inhumane ways of doing things, it's two completely different extremes for two different parties and I think you have to acknowledge there's alot of people especially millennials and younger like my generation gen z that take great concepts to extreme lengths on our side as well and you have to be able to say that to keep things honest, the thing is like I said it's two very different extremes and that's what I meant. Hope I explained well.
You cannot compare Hitler and Trump at this point and time, because Hitler caused the death of 12 million people and survived at least 39 assassination attempts. However, I have to admit that there are undeniably personal and political similarities between the two politicians and if you Americans vote for Trump you will have possibly the opportunity to see for yourselves how this develops. I would strongly suggest to avoid that. Worried greetings from Germany
Dude are you high? The only thing that is similar are that both are nationalists and don't want their country over run by outsiders. Other similarities on the country aspect is the tsar Russia got flooded by outsiders and overtaken. The difference between that Russia and WW2 Germany is Russia ended in a civil conflict and and Germany tried to get rid of the issue cause they saw what happened to the tsars. But the rest of the world wouldn't let them get rid of the issue. What's happening right now in the US? Were getting flooded and they want a voice. There's 3 options USA has. Get rid of the issue, keep letting them in and get civil conflict or 3 deal with who's here and stop letting them in.
@@jtstevenson81 Agreed. Trump mentioned his shoes over and over before his photo op. That was absurd. He also still hasn't called the families of the victims.
The assertion that Trump is a bully and that the shooters based on interviews with classmates who you insist that it indicated that the shooter who was bullied is, therefore or was a result of Trumps bully personality is frankly, illogical and inappropriate as a starting point. Your approach is particularly distasteful. At least Cenk Uygur, in his initial coverage, had the integrity to denounce such behavior and express gratitude that Trump was unharmed, which is a commendable and American response. In contrast, your narrative lacks empathy for a fellow human being, especially a former president, and instead jumps to an unsubstantiated conclusion that Trump's alleged behavior as a bully is linked to the shooters experiences and conduct. Do you not understand the concept of personal responsibility? Such statements are not only unfounded but also disrespectful. I hope when Trump comes into office your show looses support as Trump starts targeting media like yours for its inciting hatred
My opinion only: I agree perhaps luck or divine intervention ?? Either way, this does not change the narrative or the issues for me. I base my voting decisions based on what aligns with my principles, values & brings us closest to what helps all the US citizens & positions us to be diplomatic globally. I'm riding with Biden 💯 % He is the one that fits the bill for me. I am not a registered Democrat: always been unaffiliated
Where are you hiding? inflation is up, more crimes, defunding the police, high prices of goods, men in women's locker and sports, weaponizing DOJ against parents and political opponents, Russia, Ukraine, Gaza, Israel wars, open borders, illegal immigrants, funding illegal immigrants using tax payers money, America last agenda. It's just common sense.
@@jerrypeal653 Jerry, in times like these it's really important not to jump to conclusions and start allocating responsibility and blame before all the facts are known. Without that basic discipline, everyone in this overheated political atmosphere will conclude whatever fits their own particular favoured emotional narrative, conspiracy theory or ideology. The only really reliable way to get to the truth is to put one's immediate feelings on the back burner so as not to narrow one's mind too soon and and cloud one's judgement. You don't have to write your feelings off, but you do need to detach emotionally from them. Just because something FEELS like the truth (to you, or to me, or to Jim Wotsit down the road) doesn't mean it necessarily IS the truth. Hunches can be one part of the investigation, but only one part. Many an innocent has been found guilty of a crime because someone had a hunch and police only pursued that one line of inquiry, dismissing vital clues that would have revealed the true story. You MAY be right in feeling a conspiracy of some sort was involved but the only way to find out, is to investigate EVERY angle. Please be patient and hopefully, the whole truth will be revealed in time.
I keep trying to provide actual reports that counter the nonsense in the comments... Then I realized, why am I even bothering. They don't care what the truth is. Hate & blaming "others" makes them feel warm and cozy. Sad. 💔
It's not that serious when you think about it. There always has been and always will be a back in our leadership. We have periods with democratic leadership and periods of Republican leadership. And that's not really a bad thing. It's important that people with different beliefs than our own have their turn. I'm just saying this as a 46 year old who has lived thru a lot of presidents at this point lol. But the media will always have us feeling like "it's the most important election in our lifetime" mark my words. Remember people saying it 4 years ago? I do. All the time. The previous one as well. Before that I don't recall, but I wouldn't doubt it
The left is literally trying to destroy everything about what America stands for, family, God, law and order, the constitution, workers rights and womens rights.
Why is David saying the “former president” and NOT the “FAILED former president” as he customarily does?? Is it because the failed former president was almost killed?? Is it a respect thing? Please explain
The woman in white t shirt calm. Recording..the flag went up no way Secret service should let his head up..pumping his fists. Get my shoes??? Propaganda
nope. I skip it whenever he talks, annoying af. I also skip whenever Saagar talks, because he tries his best to sound like his daddy and it's annoying.
Yeah, it's probably because he's a conservative commentator and you already disliked him, I find Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers and Colbert whiney af but that's probably actually a fact.
I will say David (my family) is mostly Republican, and weren't going to vote until this. So I do see more people in my life wanting to get out and vote now. That's just within my family, so I'm comparing to other families that now may do the same. I'm still voting 💙
Get your facts straight so you wont look like idi0t :) Trump was already president for 4 years and his policies bore no resemblance to those of Hitler, so this makes no sense. In fact, with the Abraham Accords, he made some progress towards peace in the Middle East, which was definitely not high on Hitler's agenda.

Great jobs today but we need to approach this campaign, fully expect a win go forward positively, if we act with class going forward Frump will do his own self in by opening his mouth with threats and anger and we can go forward with love, grace and hope! Thank you to all of you for getting the truth out there! I saw a photo with Frump on a plane surrounded by very young girls, looked authentic, but went to try to find seems to have vanished.🤔 Please Help Us! Every day I wonder what’s coming next it can’t get and it’s usually worse than my most extreme imagination.
25:55….. the problem with that is it takes rational, logical thinking people to think and feel like that but unfortunately, America doesn’t think like that anymore.
It appears that the overuse of sarcasm and facetious remarks has left the USA in a conundrum of word salat where people don’t understand the intention of the speaker.
Thank you David for continuing to be a calm voice of reason in crazy times. One thing though: I'm not sure we can assume the shooter's Republican credentials were genuine. Yes, it appears he did register as a Republican but then, following Jan 6, someone by his name from Pittsburgh gave a small donation to a progressive PAC. I'm still not clear which Thomas Crooks was the donor. However, a lot of people are pointing out that at some point there was a suggestion that Democrats should enrol as Republicans en masse so they could vote in Republican primaries for candidates that might be weaker, or otherwise somehow benefit the left. We know the shooter voted in the 2022 mid-terms. I don't think we know enough yet to be able to completely rule out the possibility that he was following that suggestion to register as Republican, while in reality identifying as a Democrat. I'm not pushing this or any other theory, just saying nothing is completely clear yet regarding his political affiliations, opinions and possibly confused state of mind that may have led him to commit this thoroughly un-democratic atrocity.
How about the constant calling is facists, racists, calling trump hitler. Yes trump spewed venom but your side spewed the same venom. I'd respect you more if you owned it too instead of just pointing that it's your fault, it's not....its everyone's fault. Remember after 9-11 when we weren't republican or Democrat but we were all just Americans? I would like to feel that again without the tragedy.
Agree, I wrote the same thing under another video of David. I'm in no way conservative however I enjoy watching demoranch and from what I saw Matt is a great guy and he never went political on his channel. Just because some lunatic wore his shirt out doesn't mean anything. Why don't we look what shoes did he have and blame Nike or whatever?
@@AGNOSTIC_incomprehensibleXIV No, David didn't blame DemoRanch, I agree. It's just that in today's climate just mentioning the name with connection to the shooter is hurtful enough. Matt himself released a video how all this debacle hurt him just because he is associated with would be assassin. Imagine that you don't know anything about his channel and you're very anti-2ndA and you hear that this guy wore a shirt of youtube channel that has videos about shooting guns and other crazy stuff associated with shooting guns, it's very easy to jump into conclusions.
@@oskarskalski2982 Well IDK there are that many people out there who are genuinely anti-Second Amendment but like I said, I agree he probably shouldn't have mentioned them if they're not political.
Your headline is quite the click bait. The country is not in chaos. You might be in chaos trying to find the best angle. But the country is fine. Most of us don't even care what happened to Trump.
Um, what happened at the rally wasn’t maybe a little chaotic? The various, extreme claims being made by many politicians, pundits, and talking heads doesn’t seem a bit like chaos to you? How about just this comment section? I get that the title is click-bait-y, but I’m pretty sure that’s just how RU-vid works now. It’s algorithms and audience growth and trending and all that. Try finding some perspective.
I think if Trump and Republicans tone it down from now on this will help them, but if he keeps running his fat mouth the way he normally does this doesn't help him except with his own base
8:40 to your point @davidpackman the problem is not so much Trump himself but the lack of reason and rationality that makes his win even possible. You can't elect an autocrat if there isn't a will for it in the democracy.
@guypanton8341 Incorrect? That’s not the point. You’re nowhere near an expert, and the information you have is likely neither better nor worse than any other commenter’s. Yet you are here commenting. A lot. Relentlessly, some might say.
Crazy how fast you people turn into Alex Jones with all of your crazy conspiracy theories of how this all was staged. Do better. You're embarrassing yourselves.
@@FirstnameLas-td2bs I'm referring to the comment section on this video, as well as his initial livestream the day of the attempt. It was reminiscent of a Why Files comment section.
Ok, so the only thing that was making me question wtf happened was my inability to believe that trumps followers are stupid enough to just keep standing behind him just gawking to see if he did get hit or killed WHILE a gunman was actively taking shots IN THEIR DIRECTION and not taking cover. That’s what was weird. I’m sorry. I like the guy directly behind him was literally like sitting in on a huddle.
The guy was shooting for 2 minutes and missed?! What if that was a piece of glass from teleprompter that grazed his ear. Trump certainly did not seem very afraid and did not drop himself as soon as he heard shots. Very strange indeed.
David, I agree with much of what you say. I consider myself slightly right of center. How can you say the left doesn't push violence when as you're speaking Destiny is openly accepting Trump's assassination and laughing about the American citizen who lost his life. I know you are not Destiny but its obvious that there are radicals on both sides and both sides need to throttle back :)
@@Solid_Lohen very much don't let the media fool you , I'm from California too and all my friends and coworkers are Mexican/American and we are 100 percent for trump our next president
Isn’t it amazing how history repeats itself? I ask you…What happened after the failed assassination attempt on Hitlers life in the “Wolf’s Lair” by Claus von Stauffenberg (who was a German military officer btw)? Hitler only became more aggrandized, his supporters viewed him as immortal, chosen by god…and his violent rhetoric hit a crescendo because he then felt justified. Scary times
David--you said "they failed". AS far as we know at this time, there is no "they", but "he failed". Please don't contribute to conspiracies unless there is some evidence of it.
Being Jewish Myself I've seen how my peoples refusal to believe they could be wrong or bad in some instances. Same as my Muslim friends. identical problem happening from the Left and Right in America. Pakman will say one or two things how violence is bad. blah blah...But then spit the same rhetoric which got us into this trouble.
@@beatch42'the ear is on the head'... so he was shot in the ear, not in the head! You just asininely made my point and unfortunately made a fool of yourself!
The ear is not 'the head'... The hair is not 'the head'... The beard is not 'the head' In human anatomy, 'the head' is at the top of the human body. It supports the face and is maintained by the skull, which itself encloses the brain. The face is the anterior part of the head, containing the eyes, nose, and mouth. On either side of the mouth, the cheeks provide a fleshy border to the oral cavity. 'The EARS' sit to either side of the head!

@michellehoyt8218 No, the ellipsis is part of the comment. It suggests that I’d finish the sentence in exactly the way you’d think. In some sense, I’ve already said the jackass thing.
@@R4NDLLhe might’ve been or was. That’s just a stupid title that’s going to cause more division for the people that don’t know the whole story. It’s like saying “the left” didn’t have anything to do w it. Maybe he was a “republican” on paper but we just don’t know yet.
Nobodies delusional. Both candidates are old. One has a speech impediment, the other can talk confidently, but isn't trusted by many. Repubs like Trump. They believe what he says and thinks the country is better under his regime. Both sides have there reasons. You have to be ok with others not following the same preference as you. Libs just cannot side with a candidate that they cannot trust. Its understandable and perfectly ok!! We all can agree to disagree.
