UPDATE: In this video I blister Trump for lying about being hit by a bullet when, according to reports, his wound was actually caused by a shard of glass. Since I wrote and shot this video, those reports have been debunked and it appears likely that Trump's ear wound was caused by a bullet after all. So, please disregard that, and remember that regardless of what hit him in the ear, Trump is still a liar who must be defeated in November's election. Apologies for getting the glass bit wrong.
Thank you for this update, you’re a good man Steve
@@SteveShives thanks dude!
Steve I just discovered your channel, thanks for the update, you're definitely my kind of person! Our country is going to sh!t cuz people are little crybabies! We have to vote every F'n time as you said!
as the kids say nowadays, appreciate you!
You owning that is far more than I see from mainstream media and I appreciate that.
An important thing to remember: Trump is an actor (like Reagan), very well aware of how imagery influences the public. When he said "Wait, wait, wait..." to his Secret Service detail, he knew he needed to strike a pose that would live on on magazine covers and social media for the ages. I am completely disgusted with how Right Wing Big Media has been handling this travesty with irresponsible lies and half-truths and I can scarcely believe the gullible viewers eating this up are actual adults, lead by their feelings and not their heads. Thanks, Steve!
👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
I have to admit that I was sort of amazed that he had the wherewithal under the circumstances to recognize and take advantage of the photo op. Psychotic.
Not just right wing media. Corporate media
He was concerned about his shoes being left behind. Listen to the vid; he's asking for his shoes.
Likely he's afraid if someone gets them they'll find the lifts in them. Sociopathic liars focus on maintaining their manufactured reality above all else.
@@mistybethune9116 except, he didn't wave "okay", he made a fist and shouted "fight". He's using this to reinforce his "tough man" image, he didn't care about anything else.
"Donald Trump is not Teddy Roosevelt." Truer words have never been spoken.
One was a mountain of a man oozing with character and manliness. One is someone who literally echos Hitler.
Teddy Roosevelt also lost that election
@@remrad4315 tRump oozes out of his Depends.
Trump could never make a joke, much less one involving himself
He's not even a Reagan. I can't stand Reagan and the damage he caused still echoes 40 years later but I do think he had a few more brains than Trump and wasn't as easily manipulated.
TR also mocked the shooter during his speech. "it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose". He had been shot in the chest. Dude had balls the size of Trump's collection of classified documents.
TR also fought against Tammany Hall. Being anti-corruption is hardcore.
TR also fought and led men in the Spanish-American War. He also established our national parks instead of seeking to sell them off like Trump did.
That collection isn't his, it belongs to us!
I think you mean that he had balls the size of Trump's ego, lol.
yea im no american but seeing people compare donny to Teddy is fucking awful, he was a good man with the decorum of a proffessional and a gentleman, but had real bravery and sought to do real good within the confines of government, he earns our respect but trump demands it
Thank you for your HONESTY AND TRUTH, Sir! I soooo agree with you.
I'm not convinced about the "Bernie bros" reasoning for 2016. Two conservative family members of mine were going to vote for Bernie if he was on the ballot. But since he wasn't and they're misogynistic, they voted for Trump. Sexism played a big role. But have to remind ourselves that Clinton won the popular vote.
Aye.. given I'm "10 days in the future" now, I'm very very concerned from over here in the UK that VP Kamala Harris won't win simply because of the USA really not being ready for a Woman President, because misogeny/patriarchy...
@@NikolaHowardCanadian who’s been bombarded with US politics and ideologies my whole life and I still don’t understand why so many fear a woman President. History is filled with brilliant female leaders all around the world. Canada only has had one & sadly she got handed the blame for all the make generated problems (a scapegoat) which, along with our blind obedience and docile following of the USA in nearly every aspect of life, has weakened the chances of another female Prime Minister, to the detriment of my beloved country.
I'm really bad at ranting, which is exactly why I am thankful for this rant. **I** needed to get this off my chest and now I can simply share the video. Thank you.
Sometimes it takes someone more capable of rage to give us not only the right words, but the right tone as well. I think of myself as a masterful ranter, and Steve still said it WAY better than I could hope to.
Agreed!
Funny I was thinking the exact same thing.
Same here!!!
Your righteous fury is an accurate reflection of what many of us are feeling, Steve. Thank you.
Keep doing what you do.
I'm a Brit.
We had a General Election 2 weeks ago
And in my constituency, the incumbent right wing MP lost his seat by just *39* votes - one of them mine.
So yeah, voting *counts* .
Tories had their worst defeat in history. Really nasty blowout election.
Hey - I think you must live down the road from me. That's the guy who is 22 who won the seat that my friend who campaigns for Labour was sure was a safe Tory seat.
Counts less here. I live in New York. No matter who I vote for, or if I simply choose to stay home, New York's electors are going to cast their votes for Biden. Aside from local election stuff there's no point for me to get off the couch. I have zero say in the Presidential election. None.
thank you for your service to humanity
Voting in the States is a different animal. Steve is blissfully ignoring that the only thing that actually matters in Presidential elections is what happens in the swing states, where Trump is currently in the lead in all of them.
All of this would be so fascinating... if only the stability of geopolitics as we know it wasn't on the line.
I'm being serious, Trump can't win and I'm commenting this from Germany, so I probably shouldn't even care half as much as I do.
This is the first time I am scared when it comes to the future, my future.
Please don't elect Trump again. Don't do it, please :(
Trump couldn't have won his first term, but he did. Did he get help from Russia, maybe? But we had to live through that shit. He sure didn't win his second election, but his time in office had a huge effect on the supreme court for decades.
Also german. Well said. 😞
I'm scared too. Been scared for 4 years.
I've been saying all along that press keeps acting like Trump can win he can't. He's lost at least 20% of GOP
@@HAFBeast91
UNLESS that supreme court will be EXPANDED, which is long overdue.
He has now been through what thousands of US school children go through every year. It changes nothing other than the new grift he can use.
So sad and so very true.
The t shirts are already on sale
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
He's gone through a /little/ of what your children have to endure.
One big difference is that police are likely to act to protect him instead of hiding outside waiting for the screams to die out.
Also I've a suspicious that King Donald's man-child tendencies leave him with a greater sense of his own immortality than a teenage boy on a cocktail of PCP and coke. (the good one that rots your nose, not the bad one that rots your teeth).
Might have to rethink compulsory attendance
I love this guy. Voting works. Please show up and vote 💙
Fear is understandable.... Fear is also a motivation. Acts of survival are often fueled by fear.
When you and Beau (of the Fifth Column) don't hide their anger, you know shit's very, very real.
"When we show up, we win." This is a lesson the Republicans learned a long time ago. And they learned it well. If only Democrats would notice.
Thanks Steve. Your talk about folks on the left side who become their own worst enemies reminded me of a quotation I've been seeing more of lately: “No class or group or party in Germany could escape its share of responsibility for the abandonment of the democratic Republic and the advent of Adolf Hitler. The cardinal error of the Germans who opposed Nazism was their failure to unite against it.” - William L. Shirer Here's to better days for us all.
Thank you for saying everything that's been on my mind these last 2 days!!
Yes fr fr
God damn, man, can we get this on TV somewhere where the masses can see it?
1000% correct
I am an African Americans from Detroit. I live in Columbus Georgia now everyone up in Detroit says they are voting for Biden all the young AK‘s and others young black students here in Columbus. Georgia said they are voting . For Biden nothings going to stop them .Do not let media fool you young blacks are coming out to vote for Biden.
Stay strong!!! We stand with you!!
Trump would not need to manufacture or stage photo ops at a black church or trick a black barbershop owner to taking a call from him if he was generating huge support from black Americans. He's all about manipulating the messaging to impact public perception, rather than simply presenting an agenda that appeals to the people.
Thank you for the reassurance.
@GregoryHampton-dj3fw
Thanks for that message. I hope you’re right. I’m very afraid for our country.

The media's been waiting breathlessly for the fabled Trump Pivot since the RNC convention in 2016
The CEOs are almost all Republicans, fckn Bezos for all his flaws let the Washington Post turn into a slightly smarter Fox News.
I was at the Warren post in 2016 and saw a picture of the staff lt, commander and the post commander with Trump doing a thumbs up, I was disgusted then and lost all respect I had for them.
Not really. They've just used that as the excuse while happily raking in all the views reporting on Trump's destruction of our democracy has gotten them. even back in 2016 before the election a news anchor covering the primary said something to the effect of "His candidacy may be bad for America, but it's been great for ratings".
First time watcher. Good points! Not a fan of Biden, but I’m voting Biden because the other guy showed us who he was on January 6, 2021. Everyone saying Trump is going to win motivates me more to vote Dem. I will be subscribing.
Damn, Steve. Thank you for this. I feel it too.
I have voted in every election since I registered to vote at my high school. I originally registered as a Republican, but the only Republicans that I voted for were Ford in 1976 and John Amderson (as an independent) in 1980. Since then, I voted for Democrats and changed my registration to the Democratic Party so I could vote for John Edwards in the primary. I regret that I didn't vote for Carter, because he was a good man, He may not have been a great President, but he was sure better than Reagan!
There were at least 42 assassination attempts on Hitler. Didn’t make him any less of a villain.
💯
And most pathetic of all that loser Offed himself lol
Does make him slightly cooler tho (I’m getting banned from TH-cam for saying this)
@@shadowbonbon3 How does being so vile that at least 42 people take the enormous step of trying to assassinate him make him cool?
@@shadowbonbon3bruh....
"He will not change..." Reminds me of Steve Scalise who almost died from an assassination attempt, and absolutely no change, no insight, no growth, no existential realization, no character development. It's stunning to me.
Bravo, Steve. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, Steve. Your message is exactly what I needed today to help me climb out of my funk of the last few days. I HAVE voted in nearly every election for 50 years. I needed to be reminded of just how powerful that is. 😃❤
Steve, you are absolutely right. I needed this. Thank you
To quote Jean-Luc Picard in a fictional 2024 from a season of Star Trek Steve didn't particularly care for, but still applies here:
"I refuse to accept an outcome that has not yet occurred."
💯
Extremely well said Steve. Thanks.
I am terrified about what this will embolden the GOP and their supporters to do.
Steve. This is the best controlled, truthful and direct rant I have ever witnessed. Thank You.
Thank you, Steve, for being the only one telling the unvarnished truth.
Wow, your anger really sounds genuine here, even more so than before! But ya said what needs to be said. Shared!
Steve; First time viewer. You're a male version of me; but I mainly rant to my cats and only occasionally to my adult kids. This rant was a masterpiece. Guess I'll keep doin' what I'm doin', only more so. So grateful for you, Steve. Thanks so much!
Check out his "if repubs were honest" vids.6l they are pure art and truth.
If you were to record your rants to your cats, there's a fair chance I'd watch them (with my cats).
Well said, Steve.
I hope they're listening.
I've never listened to Steve before, but it's refreshing to hear the unvarnished truth from someone. I'll definitely be back. Thank you!
Glad i found this. I have been unsubscribing from sources i trusted for the past few weeks. I was getting lonely
youtube channel, Beau Of The Fifth Column.
Don’t be turned off by his look.
Most of his stuff is topical, but some of them … so good they almost make me go number 3.
Edited to add, keep Steve, try adding Beau.
Preach brother
I was looking for this comment. After watching the only thought I had was PREACH! (am non-religious, btw)
Thank you!!! Especially for calling out those who claim it was "staged". Ignorance doesn't sound better when it is coming from our side. Actually, it sounds so much worse.
you speak pure truth - thank you - and you are the first person i've heard mention TR - thank you again for being aware of history - and 2 former presidents could not be more different - we live in desperate times and i fear for the future
This is an incredible piece of work Steve! You nailed it, especially the Democratic apathy at the polls. I will keep this speech in my head forever. This is the kind of motivating speech we need to hear from our Democratic leaders, fire and brimstone exuberance. I thank for producing this message. It must be spread throughout our nation.
Thanks for your videos, Steve. They're helping me care more about America lately. I just want America to be a place where it feels like cares about me, and other LGBTQ people.
Imagine if Biden got in front of a crowd and gave this exact speech
It took Trump hours from learning that an innocent person died to start bragging about what a great photo he took during the shooting. His concern from the victim lasted about as long as it took for adding a few characters about it on a social media post. But we should all be concerned about him, people.
Came for the Star Trek stuff, stayed for the call to political action.
I feel like I just got put in my place. Ouch.
Which means you can grow with better footing now. ❤
most likely there is time to register if you need to and vote. even if you are in Alabama.
Does this mean you will be changing your vote to a more sane party!??!
WOW!!! This is powerful and very impactful!💥💥💥👏👏👏
The voice of sanity
Love the whole ‘you can have a reason to speculate but speculation is not evidence’ thing.
When steve gets angry you know it’s a fucking problem
It is!
Steve is normally angry, that said, shit has been fucked for a solid minute so maybe I just haven't seen him when he's not pissed.
Love how righteous you get. Not being sarcastic or facetious, I really mean it. I talk about how important it is to vote all the time.
Teddy Roosevelt when on with his speech..... for 90 minutes. that. is grit.
And he still lost. MAGAs don't seem to remember that part. T. Roosevelt would hate their platform. If we can call it that.
In 1912 only current presidents were under the protection of the Secret Service. Which at the time was not Roosevelt. If he had been they would have forced him to leave also. So it's not fair to directly compare the two assassination attempts and use it as ammo against President Trump. Would he have stayed and continued with his speech? Yeah probably actually. This isn't the first time someone pulled a gun while he was campaigning. Trump refused to leave and continued addressing the crowd also just like TR. You don't have to like Trump. I don't. But he is a very formidable man. If I said otherwise I would only be lying to myself. And Biden.....most certainly is not.
SS only provided protection to the current president at the time and Roosevelt was not him. If they had then they would have rushed Roosevelt away like they are supposed to do. So its not accurate to directly compare the two assassination attempts without acknowledging that distinction. Would Trump have stayed though if he could have? Probably yeah actually. This was not the first time someone pulled out a gun while he was campaigning. And Trump stayed and continued addressing the crowd after the situation was contained. You don't have to like Trump but to say he isn't formidable is not even close to being true. Biden on the other hand....
@@Seamonkey555 Part of why he lost was he was running for a third term and people didn't like that idea. There weren't any laws against it at the time though, but it was outside the widely agreed upon standard of two and looked down upon.
I guess Roosevelt actually had something of substance to say in his speech, Trump on the other hand, no so much...
I’ve got to say I was feeling really demoralized about our chances, but thank you for speaking out with such passion. I needed that.
Steve ain't pulling any punches!
Fuck yeah Steve!!! Shit that was so cathartic to watch. Thank you for the stern kick-in-the-pants reminder of why my vote matters each and every election.
I wish the media outlets spoke the facts like this. Thanks Steve!
Thank you, Steve! I know this message isn't for me but thank you for using your platform to shout it! I hope they listen.
I'm voting for Biden BECAUSE I'm afraid of Trump.
I'm not afraid of Trump. Trump is just a scared, insecure old man who needs validation from everyone around him.
I'm afraid of how easily his supporters bought into his rhetoric and how he has taken a stronghold of an entire political party.
Same... I feel he's too destabilizing; you don't even get to a policy argument when your rhetoric calls the electoral system into question. This is especially troubling given how little factual support his election claims seemed to have. He plays things far too fast and loose for my liking.
Well I guess you changed your party affiliation? Because if you didn't then you should already know who the Pres is. Just sayin! Vote Blue All Day!!!!!!
True. If it wasn't for his supporters, he'd just be a crazy man spouting nonsense on the street corner, but he has a heck of a lot of loyal supporters.
I just do not understand why they support him.@crooker2
@@crooker2 it wasnt easy, this is the culmination of literally decades if not centuries of propagandizing.
Amen Steve. That’s what bothers me about the leftists, liberals, and progressives around me. They always have this “voting doesn’t work” attitude.
Because it didnt work to keep Hitler out.
That's rich, after the last election, where we had more people voting than at any time in history, and they voted Biden in, and Trump out. So yeah, voting does work.
With that kind of attitude, it doesn't. Change is incremental. That's why it is so important to KEEP VOTING.
Not this progressive.
Voting doesnt cause forward change. Community action does.
Voting however, can slow or halt backward and authoritarian change. Voting is the lowest form of political engagement, and not voting is still voting.
Not voting, is still voting. Thats something a lot of leftists forget.
Also. Just a reminder, no matter who wins in Nov, the SCOTUS has made a powergrab so large that the Justices now hold more power then the office of president domestically.
The title of your episode...and the opening 4 seconds of sighing was enough for a like. I'm with you, brother.
Absolutely spot on. The Right-Wing and their victim complex is annoying at the best of times but was downright insufferable after this happened. I wish I had found your channel years ago. Great stuff!
This may be your best and most important non-skit video, ever. Sharing broadly.
I have a couple of friends who never vote because they "don't understand how it works". Every time there's an election I urge them to vote, to ask questions. I remind them that as women, we HAVE to vote. It's been just over 100 years since we've had that right and it baffles me that so many women don't do it. I try to get my friends to vote. So far they have refused. I will keep trying.
Awesome!!! Thank you for this inspiring message…voting BLUE all the way!!!
qui
There is only one thing we should be truly grateful for ; NOBODY else is even vaguely like him.
Damn right, Steve. I've been pulling my damn hair out on this shit for hours. Glad you could say it so succinctly. Just wish I had a wider audience to share it with.
I really needed to hear this, and I’m not even American. Who sits in the White House affects all of us.
I really needed to hear this, I lean progressive. I wasn't quite waving the white flag, but the rhetoric of the past few days had me discouraged.
Thank you for being a rational voice to listen to in the din of chaos. You've made me feel less alone today.
Didn't see this on my bingo card for 2024
The Simpsons did!
@@BluePatriotWinner In that case, we're done for.
I agree with all the points you've made here except one:
I will not use my pen to fill out a ballot. My polling place gives out these really nice stylus-pens that you use to vote, and then they let you keep it, and it's really poggers. And they're really nice pens.
Poggers??
@@cathylindeboo.9598 Poggers is based on "POG" which is from online gaming communities and Twitch, meaning Play Of the Game, used to indicate something is really cool and something to be envied/aspired to. Can also be used sarcastically, but I don't think that's the case here.
Thanks, Steve, you're always the voice of reason, and I needed to hear a positive voice of reason. Been feeling a lot lately like the bad guys are winning.
Wow!!! Right on brother! Well said. I hope thousands of people see this video!! Keep up your good work. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. 🙏🏻 Vote Blue! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you for this it is exactly what everyone in the media needs to be saying.
PREACH BROTHER!!!!!!!!!
If you don't vote, then you have no right to complain.
The point isn't if it was staged or not. The point is donald trump's campaign is so ridiculous that people are considering if it was staged or not.
😂
A guy died, a couple more were critically injured and still it isn’t unbelievable that this was a planned distraction from TCFG’s criminal past, present & future to that of the survivor of a politically motivated assassination attempt.
Don’t all heroes wear oversized bandages to draw attention to their wounds. I am expecting a Purple Heart ceremony any day now.
Not to mention the ever popular “I don’t vote because both parties are the same” BS. You gave up your right to complain if that’s your excuse.
Only cynics and conspiracy theorists, possibly Trumpers think both parties are the same! Read some minority history books! They will disprove that! I did!
Dude people like that infuriate me. Trying to say Mike Pence and Kamala Harris are the same? Give me a break.
No. Thats just someone who either fails to see that not votkng is the same as voting for whoever wins; or who does not care who wins, they have valid complaints about the entire system and would complain about whoever wins.
Same. The doomersim hasn't helped.
@@AnonymousAnarchist2 people have brain rot
Despite the fact that for some reason, I can't comment on this video the way I want to, I must say I support everything you say.
I can’t hear “nine 11 truthers” anymore without hearing Louis CK’s joke about his daughter thinking there were nine people who were called “eleven truthers”. lol. 😂 😂😂
Bravo, Shives! Well said! 🍻
Jesus. This is such an insane situation. And the fact that this will probably help him makes me sad.
It only helps Trump if we as a whole don't show up to vote, we out number Republicans short of deep red sparsely populated states, hell Texas if all Democrats showed up to vote for Democrats the state would be light blue! But they dont, same with my state of Ohio if the Dems all voted and the party would reach to the rural areas they'd be surprised to find the progressives the liberals, the Leftist that exist out there in the sticks.
I don't think it will necessarily help him; folks forget that Teddy R. lost the election he was shot in, and Teddy R. was a far better campaigner and strategist than the current guy.
@@AntonPNym reagan won 49 of 50 states. Donald is more like reagan.
be concerned
Thank you!!! You nailed everything Steve - I’m sharing the hell out of this video. Hands down the best and most honest speech ever! This is the kind of stuff I mumble to myself all the time when the mass stupidity in this country gets to me. The back & forth between parties is insane & completely counterproductive. My Dad used to say, ehh.. Americans are fickle. And he was 100% right. Do people not understand how vastly different the policies are for these 2 parties?? How tf?! It’s polar opposite! 🤬
If everyone who is eligible to vote spent a couple of hours a year to look into candidate and party policies and then voted for the candidate they felt most closely supported their needs and desires, we wouldn't be in this situation. Thank you for your rant on those who say it doesn't matter or don't vote for other reasons.
That's true!!!!
President Biden needs to declare election day a federal holiday! There would be millions more voting!
Send him White House email… were he may see it!!
EXCELLENT IDEA! He also needs to use the next 5-1/2 months to finish those progressive policies he started, which got him tossed out of the nomination by rich f*cks.
We need a Congressional majority if we're gonna get anywhere with this Supreme Court impeachment.
Thank you Steve!
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this. I've been having a rough time with the state of our nation (especially recently) and hearing someone so passionate about voting gives me hope that it's not all lost and maybe others will be pushed to do the right thing too.
Keep doing what you do!
I would buy a teddy bear, but I would never buy a donnie bear.
" and your Donny Bear comes with these exciting realistic features..
Tiny hands , tiny Mushroom, tiny brain and super inflatable ego "
I'm fired up and ready to vote! I have my representatives contact information and mail them from time to time about concerns. I'm inspired by my mom, whose personal effects included handwritten notes and business cards for her local representatives. Clearing the house after her funeral was rough, but seeing how engaged she was about her community really helped.
Thanks, Steve! This video pulled me back from the whirlpool of opinions currently swirling. Keep up the great work and stay motivated!!
Thank you. I’ve waited since that event for someone to say exactly what you say in this video. I’m new to subscribe, having just found you. You’re a straight-out truth teller. Thank you again.
Thank you! I have been so tired of hearing people to give up. Also being told to play nice because we are the same now. And we are not!
Love you, Steve! Keep the rant going! God knows I am. 🤬
Thank you Steve!!!
So refreshing to hear someone come right out say what needs to be said. I feel exactly the same, but if I were to express a fraction of that sort of emotional response in the comments section of the videos that infuriate me, TH-cam would delete my post 100 times over.
Bravo 👏👌💪❤️💯❤️💪👌👏 Absolutely Well Said!!!!❤❤❤❤
BEST WAKE-UP VIDEO THERE IS ON THIS PLATFORM!!
Jesus, anybody else want to vote for Steve right now?
(I'm in Ireland, I have no influence here. But I want you all to do the right thing)
I am scared STAGED OR NOT this is scary ❤❤❤ we are not DONE YET PERIODDDDDDDDD #Voteeeeeeeeeeee
If you didn't give $2 you would've been deleted for even saying it's staged on precious Steve's lil channel.
