Lifelong Republican drops nightmare news on Trump after conviction

this is inside the right so Tim we've

got big news here Donald Trump convicted

on all 34 felony counts this is inside

the right so the obvious question here

do you think this will have some massive

rally around the flag effect for Trump

or will the net effect of this

conviction be negative for him yeah

first I just want to say hell yeah and

cheers you know it's been a long time

coming uh we get some accountability for

this guy um you know been fighting this

guy for a long time now so uh what um

what is the impact going to be you know

we will not know for sure for sure until

we get more data but let's just be real

here being a convicted felon 34 counts

having to be sentenced four days before

the Republican convention this is not

good for Donald Trump this is a big

problem for him it's a problem for him

across a couple of vectors number one

we've talked about this the group that

is the that that Joe Biden is struggling

with the most right now are people that

just aren't paying that close of

attention you know there are people that

if you just that don't get their news

from cable or from shows like this or

from or from the newspaper they're

getting just social media inputs and you

know is it gonna have an impact on those

people to to hear that Donald Trump has

now been unanimously convicted of

business fraud of of defrauding um the

country with lies about his affair I I I

just you have to think that it will

impact some of them will impact all of

them you know or there's some people out

there that might come to Trump's defense

sure like you know this isn't a 100 to

zero thing but on balance I think that

if you're just looking at the core

groups um of people the people that have

you know low engagement this is going to

break through the first time a

president's ever been convicted if they

don't they might not know the day-to-day

of what everything that's going on in in

Gaza everything that's going on in these

trials they might not know judge maran's

name but they're going to know he was

convicted that's going to matter and

then the other group that we talk about

a lot these softer Republicans the

college educated Republican types the

Nikki Haley types um you know they they

are more engaged so they're more

familiar with the merits of the trial uh

but you know there's a certain

percentage of them that are they're

conscientious you know it's like you

you've got a lot of let's stereotype a

little bit you a lot of people like show

up to their kids Schoolboard meet you

know what I mean that they got a we got

a lot of class moms you know and a lot

of dads who are coaching or moms who are

coaching and dads who are class dads

right like like that's the type of

person that this Nikki do they want a

felon to be the president you know I I I

you hear from them we hear from them in

focus groups you never know what people

are actually going to do until they do

it like now happen it's like let's see

right it's different to say

hypothetically I would it would change

my opinion but I I think if you look at

both of those groups on the balance it's

going to hurt Donald Trump with both of

them how much you know we'll see um but

and then strategically speaking I think

it's going to hurt him when you look at

the calendar and I and I also think it's

going to cause him to go insane and so I

think across all three of those points

even more insane than he already was um

so across all three of those points I

think it's definitely a huge negative

for him politically I I I I tend to

agree with all of that and I would say

that the one group obviously who

wouldn't fall into that bucket is the

Trump fans and those are the people you

know the Maga acolytes and those are the

people who are going to you know rally

around his side regardless and you know

in the immediate aftermath of this

verdict we saw those people uh those

very Republican officials Trot

themselves out on Twitter on TV

basically to Kiss the Ring um do you

think that those people you know all of

and and it and it was just about the

entirety of the Republican Party almost

like this was the litmus test now right

it during the trial it was how many how

many of these people can dress like

Donald Trump and show up behind him to

do his bidding you know in a in an

effort to circumvent the gag order on

his behalf now it's how many of these

Republican officials can go on Twitter

go on TV and basically uh breathlessly

defend the guy so do you think that

they're hanging themselves here by so

quickly aligning themselves with a

convicted felon ahead of an ction where

they're going to need moderates to win

and being a convicted felon isn't going

to R down to their benefit yeah some of

them are and some of these swing States

and you see a lot of these Republican

senators in the swing states are doing

worse than Trump really because they're

getting kind of the worst of Both Worlds

some of the Trump voters don't trust

them and then the Democrats Independence

look at them they're like you seem crazy

like you're all the way with Trump you

know so they're they're kind of in a

sour spot so I do think for certain

people it'll hurt them um I do think you

know just in interest of fairness like

it is going to help Trump raise money

and that's just reality right so so you

know Trump there's a huge money gap

between Biden and Trump so Trump will be

able to narrow that that's the one I

hate to even call it a silver lining but

that's the one you know positive that

that Will trump will happen you see

these people on Twitter these

conservatives who are like you know now

I'm going to crawl over glass for Trump

I saw that for three people it's like

sorry bud you can craw over glass if you

want but you still have one vote one

vote is one you know like you can by way

anybody anybody who's claiming that they

were gonna crawl over glass probably

wasn't too on the fence beforehand

exactly exactly so you know someone hold

their nose and votes for Joe Biden and

you crawl overg glass and use your

bloody fingers to vote for Trump it's

still one to one you know it doesn't

really matter you don't get points for

for bonus but right uh one example just

to show you how just how disastrous this

is for Republicans for the tiny group of

Republicans who are responsible in

trying to navigate this sorts of thing

and to show how much of a litness test

it is I don't know if you saw this

Governor Larry Hogan former governor of

Maryland now running for Senate um he's

he's probably you know the most moderate

the of the you know Republicans out

there these days running for Senate so

he put out a responsible normal

statement regardless of the result I

urge all Americans to respect the

verdict in the legal process Etc Chris

levita the campaign manager for Trump

quotes tweets that respes with you just

ended your Camp not only are some of

these Republicans you know trying to

Curry favor with him by sucking up with

to him today but but the Trump campaign

is wielding this like a sword they are

making this a lus test you know they're

they're saying you are not welcome here

remember the old uh what was the thing

that Nikki haey people put on shirts you

know permanently barred that's like like

they're out there saying if you just

think we should just respect the justice

system then you're barred you're not

you're not you're not welcome here um I

I think that's really telling about the

state of the party and um I think that's

going to be damaging both for Trump and

for Hogan right like that's bad for both

sides right because the Hogan people are

like you you know what I mean it's

a it's a two-way um where where they are

um you know they're they're alienating

you know the people on each side of that

that of that dividing line within the

party totally agree now surprisingly

there was you know kind of aligned with

Larry Hogans but even further uh even

further in the other direction Mo Brooks

a republican from Alabama tweeted at

real Donald Trump guilty of 34 felonies

per jury of 12 random citizens none

sought job GOP faces Choice USA future

at stake keep Trump his nominee and

Gamble USA's future or replace Trump

with a good character nominee and beat

the stew out of Biden so first of all

after what feels like a lifetime of

people telling Biden to drop out every

time he breathes the wrong way it's kind

of like uh feels like we're in a

parallel universe here to see someone

actually call on Donald Trump to to to

drop out um even though the equivalen

here here is like Joe Biden misplaces a

modifier and they call on him to drop

out and then Donald Trump it takes 34

felony counts convicted of 34 felony

counts to actually get the first tweet

here but do you think that this kind of

thing actually has

legs well I I don't know if it has legs

in a s it'll get him to drop out but I

think it's very telling and important

because Mo Brooks first good on you Mo

Brooks um Mo Brooks was never my cup of

tea in the Republican side he was always

a tea party farri Republican he was

magga frankly um and then Trump he and

Trump had a falling out over you know at

the Post January 6 Fallout Bo Brooks was

pretty sympathetic to January 6 frankly

it was like in the aftermath of but um

that they had a fall out um but it's

interesting because it's like if

somebody like Mo Brooks a Far Far Right

fire breathing Conservative Republican

can look at this and just with Clear

Eyes say nope you're a felon this is how

the system works we should trust the

system then I to me I think that you can

use that as a cudgel to push back

against the Marco root all these you

know succubuses know these you know

cowards right that you know no better

but are but are making these BS

arguments it's like no look Mo Brooks is

conservative he knows that this was

legit and um and and I think that is a

an important validator you know when

kind of go making making arguments about

this going forward and so I'm I'm glad

he put that out there now we've spoken

here about the political implications

but what about the moral depravity on

display with these Republicans who kind

of are beside themselves sprinting to

coddle someone who is now a convicted

felon like there it seems to me that

there's there's nothing he can't do

really to lose support from these people

I mean you know we've seen that on

display before but now this is another

level I mean convicted on all 34 counts

to Mo Brooks point of a jury of his

peers who didn't want to be there yeah I

actually think it's even worse than that

Ryan as far as the depravity because not

only are they going to his defense but

they are to a person

undermining the American justice system

turning people against it you know

trying to convince people that we should

tear the whole system down I mean it's

like Civil War type rhetoric out there

from you know I've been watching Fox n

Gingrich uh but but sitting members Greg

Abbott I I saw called this a Banana

Republic Mike Johnson the Speaker of the

House who I've praised a couple times

for doing the right thing on Ukraine um

across the board these Republican

politicians out there and the surrogates

saying um that this is illegitimate that

this is a Banana Republic uh there is a

congressman from Georgia Mike Collins

who is out there saying that Republican

Das and AGS now need to start indicting

Democrats and like this is very

dangerous stuff it's a powder keg it is

undermining the confidence in our system

and it's also I I just think you know

really shameful BS you know to hear

things like I mentioned nud earlier I

was watching nud say that this is the

most corrupt system uh that's ever been

put in place in the America in American

history it's like have you talked to a

black person you know like do you

remember slavery like do you remember

Jim Crow South right like are you

kidding me like like you you know

snowflakes like get one trial go against

you and now you're trying to tear the

whole country down when we had decades

upon Decades of systematic repression of

people based on their race based on

their religion like like so it's really

shameful and and I think it's dangerous

and and I hope that you know it's kind

of easy I hope the Democrats do both

it's easy to dunk on Trump dunk on him

make fun of him I'm all for it but I

hope that like they drive home that

message because I think that's a good

political message too I don't think my

old people that those Nikki Al folks

they don't they're not anarchists okay

like they might you know some of them

might be able to hold their nose M for

Trump because of whatever Israel or

Economic Policy whatever their main

issue is but they don't want to turn

turn the whole system down because one

guys having a temper tantrum there's not

a whole lot of overlap um between Wall

Street readers and people who want to

burn the government down yeah right

exactly like they've got mutual funds

you know all right they got they've got

returns they got college funds that they

you know they got College they got to

pay for so anyway um I I think that it's

a good political message in addition it

to being really really disgusting and

let's finish off with this and I want

you to to walk us through a little bit

of what you guys are going to do as the

result of this at The Bu workk for a as

a reminder for folks watching right now

Tim is on the bull workk throughout the

week that's his YouTube channel I'll put

the link right here on the screen and

also in the post description of this

video please make sure to subscribe to

support this ecosystem left to right as

as we continue to build it up so uh

what's going to be your F your takeaway

here uh with regard to this uh this

conviction yeah um well you know we're

GNA have a lot and we have like you do

George Conway has come on to the B

YouTube feed he's been talking about the

legal side of this he's pretty convinced

there's going to be actual jail time

here we're bringing on Adam kinzinger

former congressman who voted to impeach

Republican Congressman who's going to be

on the feed a lot this week too or in

the coming weeks he's going to be on for

this election cycle and to us you know

look um I I think that we have an

ability to speak clearly to people about

the nature of the threat without having

to worry about you know doing this thing

AP style you know doing this thing you

know having to having to play it down

the middle and be reporting I mean I I

think that we can really raise the

salience on just how outrageous it is

because we have the credibility since we

came from the right you know uh to to

say look we you know we share some of

your views about various ideological

issues but we know the difference

between right and wrong we respect the

American justice system part of the

reason why we Republicans in the first

place because we think that America has

a good system that we should be

protecting and defending not tearing

down right and so I think that is a

message that that we're going to

continue um to carry and and I think

that we're going to continue to hold

these Republicans feet to the fire the

family fight you know you you we can do

it as as good as anybody since you know

the family feuds are a little bit more

intense and so you know I think that's

going to be our main focus and then you

know a lot of my colleagues are doing

the Republican voters against Trump

project my colleague Sarah Longwell runs

that and I think that is trying to

figure out um they're going to go out

with the focus groups and go out and

talk to people regular rep people that

voted for Trump and and find voters

voted for Trump to put in their own

words what pisses them off about this

you know because it's important to have

those Messengers are going to be more

credible at the key voters like finding

people you know who speak like regular

Americans talking about why they're

upset with it rather than you know

having to be kind of pundit pundit class

talking points which sometimes a lot of

these swing voters tune out because just

like wah wah wah you know um so th those

are kind of the main efforts that we're

going to be looking at over the next few

weeks well look I think that's

especially important because as you

alluded to I mean you guys are

Republicans former Republicans

Independents it's going to be a lot

easier for you to make that pitch to

these disaffected Republican voters or

former Republican voters former Trump

voters even than it will for someone

like me you know a a communist Marxist

Democrat a radical leftist to in weho to

make that to make that exact case so um

you know that's why I'm pushing so hard

to to make sure that folks who are

watching right now if you want to build

up good U media sources good media

Outlets the bull workk is exactly that

and it will help give that permission

structure to those Republicans former

Republicans to make sure to get out and

you know not just not vote for Donald

Trump but not sit on the couch on

November 5th which is equally as

important so with that said again please

make sure to subscribe to the bull

workor links right here on the screen
