Our next question tonight comes from Allen Simpson who asks, "I love the show." Thank you very much Allen. "I'm wondering if anything happens to Trump and he's forced out of office," hopeful, "How extreme and angry do you think his base will react?"

That's worried me from day one to be honest with you. Ever since all of these investigations began and you've seen Republicans, conservatives, Alt-Righters, say on Twitter, "If he gets impeached, we take to the streets." They've said we need to start getting ready. We need to get ready for the second Civil War. We need to do this, we need to do that, we need to take up arms, we need to stock up ammunition. Are they going to do any of that? No. They're cowards. But more importantly they understand what they would be up against.

I'm not trying to bait them and saying, "Oh you're cowards, you're too scared to do that." No, no, no. They understand that they can't fight off the U.S. government, the U.S. military. No matter how much you support this guy, if it comes out that this information is correct, if there was collusion, if there was any other kind of illegal activity, or money laundering, or financial schemes, or tax evasion, and he gets impeached or goes to jail. You might have some crazies out there who head to the street with their weapons but you're not going to see a mass movement of it. There's just not enough. We've seen that from the rallies. The Unite the Right Two rally 20 people showed up. Yeah, if that's the best they can get for their little white supremacy thing that Donald Trump himself had said, "Oh they're very fine people." Then I don't think we have too much to worry about the truly crazy people who threatened to take up arms if Donald Trump gets impeached or otherwise removed from office.

One last question that I actually want to address. I got this as a direct message to me on Twitter the other day. And it's because Fox News tweeted out a clip of Charlie Kirk where he said, "If you look at all of the cities that are doing horribly in this country most of them are run by Democrats." My simple response was, "I suggest you drive through the south. Two hours down here would debunk all of your talking points. Because yeah, we're pretty solidly Republican down here and things suck."

But nonetheless, that sparked somebody to send me a direct message on Twitter and say, "Hey, I saw you go after Charlie Kirk. Why don't you ever do videos about him? Why don't you ever attack him on there or Ben Shapiro for that matter?" And there's a reason why I don't do that. The biggest part of that reason is because there's a lot of people who are far more talented than me who do a great job of taking down these little punk kids. But the second one, the second reason that I don't do it, is because I've been doing this for 14 years. I have seen Charlie Kirks and Ben Shapiros pop up every single year. They're big for a year or two and then they disappear.
