This candidate is so talented. Can you type in main senator?

**Ashley Webb** (0:04)
Ashley?

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:05)
Ashley?

**Patrick** (0:06)
Webb?

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:06)
I want you to watch her break down her policies on why he is, I keep saying she and he, why he is so qualified to become the senator. If you have the clip, is that it? Social media sensation, is this a candidate?

**Ashley Webb** (0:22)
That's him, there he is.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:23)
Okay, yeah, that's the one right there. Can you play that clip? Folks, the only thing I tell you is, my only suggestion as you're watching this, you're going to be inspired to want to vote and support him financially.
I'm telling you, take a couple of days to assess your vote and your support. Play this clip. This is Ashley Webb. What's his real name? Do we know his real name? I don't know what his real name is, but this is Ashley Webb. Go for it.

**Patrick** (0:48)
What qualifications do you have to serve in the US. Senate?

**Ashley Webb** (0:52)
I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but I did run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then I write my own books, and then I suppose my transparency, I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't deceive the people, like we're being deceived right now.

**Patrick** (1:10)
You're...

**Ashley Webb** (1:11)
We get lied at. Your whole life is a lie, dude. Your whole life is a lie, dude. It's like, what's going on with ICE? Pretending like these victims did something wrong. Like, that's unacceptable.
And I suppose the biggest thing is like, I'm just an angry citizen now, and if I got elected, I'd be an angry senator, and I think that would probably be the worst nightmare.

**Vinnie** (1:34)
The Democratic Party in a nutshell is right there. The same thing that we were just talking about, about the Bill Maher. That's what you guys created. A man pretending to be a freaking woman, talking about people lying and deceiving.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:46)
But I think Bill Maher is against that. And by the way, I think most... But honestly, I think Vinnie, this is the part that we have to understand. I think truly most sensible Democrats are against that. I think the average Democrat, if you're... we have 10% or 15% of our audience is Democrat, that watches podcasts, right? If you're a sensible Democrat and you watch it, you're going to be like, what the hell are you guys doing?
And by the way, how the hell did he make it on the stage in the first place? How did that happen? You know what he said? I don't even want to say... Do you want to read this?
I don't even want to read this. By the way, show it. I'll let the audience read this.

**Vinnie** (2:23)
Oh my God. I can't even say it out loud.

**Ashley Webb** (2:25)
Oh.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:26)
Like...

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:28)
I mean, this is a question being asked, and the guy says he gets his monthly period, but through his...

**Vinnie** (2:36)
You know what?

**Ashley Webb** (2:37)
Behind.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:38)
Oh.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:39)
You think the average... By the way, honestly, I'm going to ask you, I'm curious to know what you'll say. What percentage of Democrats hear this and they say, I'll support this?

**Vinnie** (2:48)
Honestly?

**Ashley Webb** (2:49)
Honestly, I want to know what you think. No, I disagree. I think it's 50 No, no, no.

**Vinnie** (2:52)
But can I say one thing?

**Ashley Webb** (2:53)
No.

**Vinnie** (2:53)
Let me stick up for myself. Bill Maher didn't start talking negatively about the trans movement till when?
Till when?

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:59)
Recently.

**Vinnie** (2:59)
Recently?

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:00)
Yeah.

**Vinnie** (3:00)
So where was he for all those years when we were saying it?

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:03)
But to be fair with him, one of the greatest monologues he did, breaking down saying, at this pace, we're all going to be gay.

**Ashley Webb** (3:11)
And that was like two and a half years ago.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:13)
So I don't know. I think Bill, deep down inside, is so furious with his Democratic Party that he's been so publicly supported for decades, and he is sitting there saying, what the hell is going on? But the only reason I, I don't even want to get into this. I don't want to ask you guys, what do you guys think about the story? I'm moving on.
I only show this to give you another option for somebody they can be excited about for the future.

**Vinnie** (3:37)
Okay, but did you see the conspiracy? Can you show it, Humberto? That Ashley Webb is actually Grand Platiner because she's running to take his spot. No, Humberto, I slacked it to you.
