00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,920
Welcome back to another episode of You're
Wrong with Molly Emingwayam David Harsani. Molly,

2
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,839
I think you're on the road this
week. Hey, I am.

3
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,199
I'm on my laptop. I don't
have a proper microphone. I am staying

4
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,280
in a college dorm because I am
chaperoning my church's youth group to the Higher

5
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,600
Things Lutheran Youth conference. There's like
a weed whacker outside my dorm window right

6
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,920
now. I don't even know if
you can hear me, but here I

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,759
am. We can. We do
things low fi sometimes, but we're high

8
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:56,079
brow today. Today as we speak, Molly, Hunter Biden, the son

9
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:00,240
of the president, is in a
courtroom, excepting the plea deal for I

10
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:07,280
think two misdemeanors on tax evasion charges, which I think will be if he,

11
00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:11,319
you know, goes through probation without
any problems, won't even be on

12
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:17,159
his permanent record in the long run. So much is going on with the

13
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:19,560
Biden Hunter Biden case, which I
always called a Hunter Biden case, but

14
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,959
really it's a Joe Biden case,
right we keep it's not really for me

15
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,480
at least, it's not Hunter Biden. That's the problem. I don't really

16
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,359
care what Hunter Biden does. I
mean, to some extent, it is,

17
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,920
but it's a Joe. It's in
the Biden family's interest if you think

18
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,599
of it as a Hunter Biden problem
instead of a Biden family business problem or

19
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,840
even an FBI Department of Justice problem. Because Hunter Biden I feel like his

20
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,159
whole life maybe has been the scapegoat
for his family. I'm not saying he's

21
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,319
not responsible for his own awful behavior, but it seems like he's the bag

22
00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:00,319
man. He goes out and gets
the money that is given for reasons I

23
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:06,959
truly do not understand, unless it's
to affect policy decisions by the United States

24
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:12,680
government. Thanks to Joe Biden's prominent
role in the Senate Vice president presidency,

25
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,120
he gets the money. He's the
primary money money taker. But there are

26
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,080
like eight family members that take the
money, and they're all taking the money

27
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,840
not because the Biden family is world
renowned for their expertise in energy exploration or

28
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120
anything. They get the money because
of Joe Biden. So it's not a

29
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:36,639
Hunter Biden thing, even though he's
born the brunt of it. It's a

30
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:38,439
Joe Biden thing. And then it's
a Joe Biden thing in two ways,

31
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,560
his family business, but also his
Department of Justice working to help him cover

32
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:50,520
that up while also going after his
foremost political enemy. I would say that

33
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:57,000
Hunter Biden and the Biden family knows
as much about energy exploration and investment opportunities,

34
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,080
or have as much talent in that
department as Ter Biden does in painting

35
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:07,240
right, and yet he benefits.
He gets millions of dollars seventeen million we

36
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:15,560
saw when having to do with the
Romania, Ukraine, China, and and

37
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,479
his art sold for one point three
one painting. I believe so for one

38
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:24,800
point three million two a Democratic activist
who has given over two hundred thousand dollars

39
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,400
to Joe Biden himself. Basically,
no one in the media cares about this

40
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,319
at all. You would not even
if you were just reading the New York

41
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,439
Times, the Washington Post, watching
the major networks MSNBC, you would not

42
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:43,719
know anything anything was going on,
which is just insane. So I do

43
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,960
want to say, I think that
story about the money laundering with the painting

44
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,080
and the Democrat donors to finance Hunterbiden, I think that was actually broken by

45
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:57,639
It's called business Insider or something like
that, which is not Yeah, I

46
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,400
mean, I don't know exactly what
it is. They're like a left leaning,

47
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,919
a little bit lefty. Yeah,
so credit to them for breaking that.

48
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:09,879
That's a kind of explosive story that
could take down any other president.

49
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,919
And I'm not even sure The New
York Times has covered it. I think

50
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:17,480
New York Times readers are the most
misinformed and uninformed people on planet Earth.

51
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,800
They just don't get any news about
what's going on. It's like this that

52
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,199
newspaper exists to tell people if they
have to worry about anything, and they're

53
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,360
saying at this point, no worries, don't We're not even going to cover

54
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:34,519
it. We're not going to take
these stories. Like I know it's I

55
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,600
know, I know we keep doing
this, but like we had years of

56
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,480
hysteria without any of this, you
know, there would be like an unsourced

57
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,079
rumor from nobody that was completely invented
and it would run the news cycle for

58
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,680
months. And here you have actual
evidence of this type of money laundering.

59
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,759
I mean, I don't think anyone
in the world. I could be wrong,

60
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,360
but I don't even think. I
don't think Hunter Biden's own family members

61
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:10,480
think his art is worth anything.
And if it were worth anything. It

62
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,759
might be more in the hundreds or
thousands at best, certainly not in the

63
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:21,680
tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands
or millions of dollars. So like nobody,

64
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,759
nobody thinks this is legit. And
yet it's just like not even the

65
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:30,000
biggest scandal of the week for the
Bidens, and it's not even one that's

66
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,319
getting covered by corporate leftist media Propagand
it's kind of amazing because everyone knows,

67
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,360
if you read about money laundering,
that the best way to launder money is

68
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,480
to find something that doesn't have an
objective value, completely subjective. Art is

69
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,560
a subjective thing, and you can
pay whatever you want for it. So

70
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:54,240
it is like the number one way
like people launder or one of the big

71
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,480
ways people launder money. And here
you are and it is not even a

72
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:00,319
story. I don't even know what
you prosecute him. I mean, what

73
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,120
would this It's just a scandal of
corruption. There's no illegality in it or

74
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,000
anything. I think there would be
some me I've been thinking about how the

75
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:15,319
Trump family was known for decades as
having a global real estate empire. That's

76
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,959
the opposite of intangible, that's quite
tangible, quite you know, you can,

77
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,279
you can compare things. The Washington
Post had teams of reporters trying to

78
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:29,879
figure out like how Trump was profiting
off of the presidency, and of course,

79
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,480
like the really weird story at the
every president goes in at some income

80
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,720
level and comes out like a gazillionaire, like Barack Obama has the houses of

81
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,800
Kings in multiple locations across the country. He you know, from Hawaii to

82
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,279
Martha's vineyard. He travels globally at
the nicest places. And I don't think

83
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:56,439
he's ever really done anything. I
could be wrong. Has he done anything

84
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,360
like with his I mean, I
know he's president. I'm not saying he

85
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:03,959
hasn't hadobs, But has he done
anything to to get money? You mean

86
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,079
anything tangible? Like has he produced
something? Though he listens books. I

87
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:15,720
get that an ex president's going to
make a lot of money on publishing,

88
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:18,560
on appearances, don't they get I
get that? Okay, yeah, point

89
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,920
My point is he went in at
some income level, he came out wealthier

90
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,040
than you know, ancient Kings,
and nobody cares. Donald Trump, who

91
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,680
went in as a billionaire with a
like real business, came out horror horror,

92
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,319
and the media are like trying to
find scandal there, and here you

93
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,240
have, you know, the Biden
family business, which nobody has bothered to

94
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:46,560
explain. Like I'm literally like,
okay, okay, so it's not corrupt

95
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,399
that all these foreign oligarchs and Chinese
affiliated people are giving you millions of dollars.

96
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:55,720
Okay, why are they giving you
the money? What are they getting

97
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,959
for it? And nobody even bothers
to explain, the media don't ask.

98
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:03,920
But anyway, point is being all
the legitimate business concerns of the Trumps,

99
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,839
which I'm sure I say legitimate,
not like to praise their business model or

100
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:11,639
anything like that, but I'm just
saying they were known as a brand in

101
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:18,720
global real estate that was all scrutinized
beyond belief, and nobody's scrutinizing this,

102
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,600
and they still tried to go after
him for all sorts of ethics issues related

103
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,439
to when he was president. Blah
blah. I just I don't. I

104
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,519
just don't think that someone who has
money for almost their for their whole life.

105
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,519
I mean, Trump was born into
into money, is really motivated that

106
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,480
much by money. Those people are
usually motivated because they want power or prestige

107
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,679
or you know, things like that, and that's what Trump was about.

108
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,039
Is clearly not a money making operation. It's been his business has been devastated.

109
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,960
Right, people are taking Trump signs
off their you know, business and

110
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,960
stuff like that. So I just
don't think he did it for money.

111
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,240
But they're always I always get people
saying, what about Ivana. I wait,

112
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,919
which is a daughter Ivanka? Ivanka
and Jared and Jared? What about

113
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,919
Well, Jared's family I believe is
richer than Trump. They have a massive

114
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,559
business going on. There is nothing
illegal about what they're doing. I have

115
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,720
yet to see anyone show me that
he was trading in government access or favors

116
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:16,200
to make money. Yeah, I
mean, I think there actually might be

117
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:22,840
something there, meaning clearly, Jared
spent his entire time as a White House

118
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:28,039
advisor working for peace in the Middle
East, specifically between Israel and all these

119
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,440
different countries and you know, including
Saudi Arabia. Right. They definitely repositioned

120
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,159
American foreign policy, you know,
and for reasons that I like, I

121
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:39,240
don't make any money off of this, but I actually do think we should

122
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:46,200
be more. I think everyone in
that region might be a bad actor,

123
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,679
but I'd rather work with the Saudis
than Iran just for We can go into

124
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,559
that later, but there's no question
that Jared did move helped move our posture

125
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,840
away from Iran and towards Saudi Arabia
and brokering all of these p agreements and

126
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,639
peace gets you a lot of money. You know, a lot of people

127
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,720
in DC like to do it through
war, but peace is another way to

128
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,320
make a lot of money. And
there were all these great agreements, and

129
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,720
clearly the Saudiast benefited mightily from it. And I do think they rewarded Jared

130
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,559
and Ivanka, or they just found
them to be good partners to work with.

131
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,440
I don't know. I don't have
a problem with people looking into it,

132
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:24,360
but I also think, like,
okay, so let's just say it's

133
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:28,600
bad what Jared and Ivanka did,
or that they got money from the Saudiast.

134
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:35,080
In exchange, the US got peace
in the Middle East, Hunter and

135
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,200
Joe got us a war in Ukraine
that puts US on the brink of like

136
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,039
a Third World war. If people
are working in their self interest, I'd

137
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,919
rather they work for peace agreements that
benefit the world rather than like, oh,

138
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,679
and by the way, we might
have a nuclear apocalypse, but we

139
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:54,039
got wealthy in the meantime, Yeah, I mean, I don't. I

140
00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:00,960
agree that peace is far more beneficial
for people to make more people than war.

141
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,919
I think the Gulf States, especially
Sadi Arabia, has always been an

142
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:07,879
American ally, so it wasn't any
kind of new, you know. I

143
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:11,039
mean how they benefit very slightly.
I mean, I think they were just

144
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,000
a rich country because of oil and
it wouldn't change much. But I don't

145
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:16,399
listen, I don't even care.
Put everyone in jail. I'm fine.

146
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,200
Put it, well, every all
the Trump administration in jail. That's fine.

147
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,919
That none of that detracts from the
fact that we have a seventeen million

148
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:30,480
dollar business run by the president son. Where we now have we have here's

149
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,440
my take on this. Just quickly, Even if if and I wrote about

150
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,360
this, but even if in the
best case scenario, if you put the

151
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:43,360
best light on what happened, right, it is still incredibly corrupt we now

152
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,360
have, So I just want to
go through it quickly. We have Hunter

153
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,240
by talking about how his dad was
involved in the business. Why would he

154
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600
lie about it? He even never
knew those emails were going to be made

155
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,919
public. Right. Then we have
Hunter's former business partner saying it. We

156
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,919
have Hunter's best ex best friends saying
it, two hundred other siens possibly of

157
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,360
contact. You know that, we
know about an FBI informant saying that he

158
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:07,200
was strong arming or you know,
places for money, and we have an

159
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,120
IRIS whistleblower who says he was at
a meeting. So all those people who

160
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,039
have nothing to do with each other
before they ever knew he was going to

161
00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:18,000
be president, in some cases,
all came up with the same story at

162
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,879
the same time. That's implausible to
me. So let's say he knew,

163
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,480
so he knew, and let's say
he had the best intentions when he was

164
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:30,679
firing the Ukrainian prosecutor alert looking into
Bersama is how he pronounced it, always

165
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,799
mess it up. He knew that
his son was in business with them,

166
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,919
he knew that they were being investigated. Even if he had good intentions,

167
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,519
that is a complete corrupt conflict of
interest and he did nothing right. I

168
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:45,519
mean, that's the best case scenario, and it's still corrupt, and there's

169
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,159
a lot of worse scenarios. Yeah, all of these people, the business

170
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,519
officials, the government officials, they
have something that nobody in the Russia collusion

171
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,799
hoax had, which is names and
identities that match up. You know,

172
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,840
for you people willing to go on
the record and go in front of colors

173
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,240
under oath, you can actually like
identify them and talk to them. What

174
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:11,879
we had had for years with the
Russian inclusion hoax was Jake Tapper and his

175
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:16,159
buddies being like, I talked to
two people who said this thing, and

176
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,840
it would turn out that that thing
wasn't true and that people never had names.

177
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:22,039
You could never go, oh,
well, you should never listen those

178
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:26,159
people again. Those very same people
with then leak another thing, and Jake

179
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,960
Tapper and his buddies would be like, well, I have two people who

180
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:31,279
say this other thing that's also not
true, but we're not going to tell

181
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,960
you that ever. And you know, these are people like Tony Bobolinski went

182
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,519
on the record before the twenty twenty
election, and he's not you know,

183
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,399
he's not a kook in any way. Like he's a legitimate business person who

184
00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,519
was willing to put his name out
there. Do you remember do you remember

185
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,679
that he um, you know,
he went public and the FBI brought him

186
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,039
in and then like never did anything
with it at all. Yeah, that's

187
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:07,559
another insane The washedoltor on Wall Street
podcast with Chris Markowski. Every day Chris

188
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,440
helps unpack the connection between politics and
the economy and how it affects your wallet,

189
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:15,919
your wages rising Twitter stepped into correct
one of Biden's tweets claiming wages are

190
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,080
higher as food prices continue to soar? Could this be by Biden's approval writings

191
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,200
on the economy or in the low
thirties? Where should you turn to get

192
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:26,399
real info on the power of your
dollar, whether it's happening in DC or

193

you financially. Be informed. Check out

00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:41,480
you get your podcast. So outside
of that the whole story and the possible

196
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:45,840
and the corruption and the possible corruption, there is now another issue. I

197
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,440
think it's important that there was a
government cover up or you know, people's

198
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:56,960
clearly the IRS investigation if anything these
whistle blowers say is true, slow walked

199
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,679
and undermined and investigation. Then there's
this sweetheart deal. And then now we

200
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,159
know that, for instance, the
FBI knew that the laptop was real,

201
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:11,440
but yet basically participated in this operation
to pretend that it wasn't real. I

202
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:18,200
mean, these are legitimate, you
know, corrupt actions by our institution.

203
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,519
So I think that that's even now
its own giant problem for Biden, but

204
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,159
also a big part of this story. So see you Oh my gosh,

205
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:33,200
it's just it's so overwhelming, like
I don't understand what to do about it

206
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,679
because of the corruption of our media. So yes, we have evidence that

207
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:41,480
the FBI, we have multiple rounds
of evidence. Actually the FBI understood that

208
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,000
the Hunter laptop was real, that
it did detail real things about the Biden

209
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,879
family business and in corruption. That
they knew that. We have evidence that

210
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:54,000
they knew that in real time.
Not only had they gotten it in means

211
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:58,840
in a way that pretty much legitimized
it right away, but they had legitimized

212
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:03,879
it for a year. But they
knew it to be legitimate for like a

213
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,759
year before it leaked, and it
all checked out. Everything was pretty easy

214
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:14,480
to check out, and it all
checked out. And they are on the

215
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:19,919
record as knowing that when the Hunter
Biden laptop dropped, and then they set

216
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:25,360
about with this information op which is
where they will say, well, we

217
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:32,200
just intimated that it was a Russian
information op. We didn't say like we

218
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,159
were one hundred percent sure. We
just sort of led everybody to believe it.

219
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,559
We spent months preparing them that something
like, oh, I don't know,

220
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:41,679
a laptop might be released and that
it might be Russian disinformation, and

221
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,200
then when it was released, we
told them, hey, remember that we

222
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,000
talked about how there might be disinformation, like they did it in this very

223
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,799
cagy way where they're trying to pretend
like they didn't run an information op.

224
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,399
And one of the little side notes
on this, we're literally in a proxy

225
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,279
balk I don't want to say literally
in proxy, but we are in a

226
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,359
proxy or with Russia right now.
Russia knows that our commander in chief and

227
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:11,440
our media are willing to falsely claim
that Russia was behind that laptop rather than

228
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,279
admit that the president and his son
were involved in this. That's a huge

229
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,920
amount of leverage they have over us, the kind that we've heard about all

230
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,400
the time and the fake Russia collusion
hoax. And it also gives them this

231
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,680
like air of moral authority that I
would rather not have when we're in a

232
00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:30,119
war with someone I would rather I
would rather they not have when we're in

233
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,759
war with them, like they know
we were willing to lie even with like

234
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,400
global conflict consequences. That's bad.
They know how they know how corrupted our

235
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:44,079
administration is, our media. It's
not a situation you want to be in

236
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,160
when you're in an actual war,
proxy or otherwise with another country. And

237
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,119
that's just like one of the side
issues with this. But the other thing

238
00:17:52,240 --> 00:18:00,880
is the FBI has been meddling in
every election for very long time, but

239
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,480
in a really dramatic way in the
most recent elections. This type of thing

240
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,640
they're doing where they're falsely claiming that
legitimate information about one of the candidates is

241
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,880
a lie. That's a way to
meddle in the election. I saw that

242
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,119
we were Oh dang it, I
can't remember which country we just accused of

243
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:25,160
having not had free and fair elections
because they were saying the opposition party was

244
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:32,480
being like unfairly targeted. Oh so
unfairly going after your opposition party is a

245
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:34,000
way to not have a free and
fair Oh no, they were saying that

246
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:41,400
like one party was that felt like
they weren't able to express themselves politically.

247
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,920
And I'm like, oh, like
the like the BLM riots where they went

248
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:51,799
after all these cities and colluded,
they cluded with big media a big tech

249
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,400
to suppress all sorts of conservative opinion, like stuff like that makes it so

250
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,079
that you don't have a free and
fair election. But if you say that

251
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:03,680
in this country, you actually could
like be prosecuted. You know. I

252
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:06,960
noticed a word that pops up all
the time in the media now when they

253
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,640
do even touch on this story is
unfounded. Senator grassly released an unfounded accusation

254
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,480
this and that that is not how
they report anything else. Also, it's

255
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:19,640
not true. Okay, so all
during the Russia collusion hoax, all of

256
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,599
that truly was unfounded, and instead
they said, here's why people are taking

257
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,440
it seriously. Christopher Steele is basically
James Bond. I mean, he's like

258
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,119
the world's foremost expert in Russia.
Never mind that he didn't speak Russian and

259
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,920
he was like a paid agent through
intermediaries of the Hillary Clinton campaign that was

260
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,079
treated as if it were totally legitimate, even though literally nothing in his dossier

261
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,960
checked out other than like, Russia
is a real country, and here you

262
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,039
have. It's not true that it
was unfounded. It was already we reported

263
00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:53,119
on it this week. Other people
have also reported on this. At the

264
00:19:53,240 --> 00:20:03,640
time that this information was sent to
the posed, you know, um guy

265
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,720
in Delaware who was handling all this
wiss it had already been corroborated in multiple

266
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:12,400
parts. So it's just not true. What they're saying is not factually accurate.

267
00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:19,440
Yeah, and the problem is it
feels like you're fighting off the ocean,

268
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,000
right. There's just it just keeps
coming in you in waves. They

269
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,279
won't report it. Let me give
you something. Can we give you a

270
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,319
quick example, cocaine was found in
the White House, or you know,

271
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,480
just take any of the stories that
have happened and media is like in the

272
00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:36,599
White House, you know, we
can't track this stuff down. We don't

273
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,440
know what happened, and we're just
gonna have to move on. Today I

274
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,680
was on the I was you're gonna
make fun of me. I I was

275
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,079
reading the Washington Post and the fact
checker page. And guess what they tackle

276
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,400
today. Tommy Tuberville said his dad
was in a tank in Paris on Victory

277
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,039
Day, you know, or the
when you know, we when the Americans

278
00:20:56,079 --> 00:21:00,680
took back Paris from the Nazis,
and that was not true. They tracked

279
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:06,920
they tracked down some historical evidence to
shows that his dad could not have been

280
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,400
there that day. This is listen. I'm not even against that story,

281
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,640
Fine, track it down, but
can you imagine this is they don't they's

282
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:22,279
a hundred Yesterday the President of the
United States said basically that he had cured

283
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:25,000
cancer. Like, maybe that needs
a fact check. I don't know.

284
00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:29,400
Maybe that's more important than Tommy Tubberville
is dad and some story that maybe was

285
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,880
passed down to him that wasn't true
about his dad or whatever. Right,

286
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,680
it is just however much you hate
the Washington Post and other propaganda outlets,

287
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,119
it is nowhere near enough. So
I was reading this New York Times puff

288
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,559
piece on the Washington Post and it
was about how Jeff Bezos is on track

289
00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:51,519
to lose one hundred million dollars with
the Washington Post this year and how he

290
00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:53,599
wants to make money on it.
But you know, people are skeptical because

291
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,799
he is losing so much. But
I do think it's something that non leftist

292
00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:04,240
people should think about, because the
Left is really good at spending money to

293
00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:08,039
control corporate media. They are really
good. Not only do you have billionaires

294
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,640
like Jeff Bezos or Lorraine Powell Jobs
who are willing to lose tens or even

295
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,920
one hundred million dollars a year on
something. You also have all these like

296
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,559
major corporations that just subsidize things through
advertising, like Rachel Maddow is a crazy

297
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:29,599
person and she has Mercedes benz Ads
on her show or used to so investing.

298
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:33,759
You know, even the Washington Post
does not make money, and it

299
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:38,400
has everything at its disposal to make
money. So people need to if they

300
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,799
want to win an information war,
they actually have to fight in the information

301
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:48,279
war. You have to fund media
outlets that are doing real journalism. And

302
00:22:48,319 --> 00:22:52,160
by that I don't mean like hundreds
or people who have opinions, but it

303
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,160
takes a lot of time, energy, and money to do investigative journalism of

304
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,359
the kind that actually moves the ball, the kind that we have been doing

305
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,640
with the Hunter Biden story. Margo
Cleveland has done excellent work really for years

306
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,680
looking into the mismanagement of the Biden
family probe and having real news that moves

307
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,359
that story forward. But you have
to be willing to invest, and the

308
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,359
Left is willing to invest hundreds of
millions of dollars, I mean much more

309
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,440
than that, because they're just losing
money hand over fist, but they're able

310
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,039
to shape our elections and control the
direction of the country. And if the

311
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:36,319
right wants to have if the right
wants to combat that, complaining about how

312
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,640
the left is willing to lose one
hundred billion dollars the Washington Post is not

313
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:44,200
sufficient. You actually have to compete
and play. I would just like to

314
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,319
add one thing to that. I
don't discru with any of that. I've

315
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:51,000
been saying that for years. You
know, all these all the funding the

316
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,680
candidates get, if a fraction of
that just was diverted to journalism, right

317
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,160
wing journalism, the world would look
like a very different place. Or I

318
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,160
love think tanks, but even the
money that goes to think tanks, I

319
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,400
will say, though, that punditry
is more important than that. I think

320
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,559
punditry needs to be funded too,
because a good pundit will synthesize that information,

321
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:17,319
make it, you know, something
that that a normal person can can

322
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:21,880
can understand or you know, doesn't
have time to wait through all the stuff.

323
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,319
Now, obviously a lot of pundits
aren't honest, but just because it's

324
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:29,759
opinion journalism doesn't mean it's not real
or that it's not important. And I'm

325
00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:32,799
not. I know you're not saying
that about me and ours, you know,

326
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,960
I think about I bet you don't
like this person as much as I

327
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,200
do. But so much of what
I learned as a young person about conservative

328
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:47,680
intellectualism actually was first introduced to me
by Rush Limbaugh. And you know,

329
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:52,039
he had this very popular, very
you know, almost low brow radio show,

330
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:56,880
but he was reading all the papers
from the academics, he was reading

331
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,440
the books from the intellectuals, and
then he was translating it to a different

332
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:06,079
audience. And that got me on
in many ways on my journey to read

333
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,400
the original authors and writers. And
it's a very important thing. And I

334
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,720
try to do that myself, like
you know, whether it's with my books

335
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:18,559
or with TV punditry or what I'm
writing at the Federalist, to take complicated,

336
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,880
complex thoughts and make sure that people
who don't have the time or inclination

337
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,519
to or you know, yeah,
who aren't doing that so that they can

338
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:33,160
benefit from some of that wisdom.
The greatest pundance on earth, you know

339
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:37,759
I've ever lived, have been able
to take something really complicated and make like

340
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,880
a quip of it to explain it
to you. Right, So that is

341
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,400
are important. As for Russ Lambaugh, I think the guy is one of

342
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,759
the three most important conservatives that have
ever you know, in the modern in

343
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:53,680
postwar America, just changed the change
everything, especially in media, and and

344
00:25:53,759 --> 00:25:56,400
he was a genius. I mean
the way that he could speak, you

345
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,359
know, off the cuff for hours. So no, I did like Russia

346
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,799
Limb. I don't know if I
liked him as much as I do.

347
00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:07,640
Want to also say that when President
Trump gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom,

348
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:11,519
that was so interesting and important to
me. In seeing that, I

349
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,039
realized that one of the ways so
a lot of times conservatives are treated like

350
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:18,880
second class citizens by the left,
and that you know, you see that

351
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,799
in the media and the cultural you
know a lot of their political power.

352
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:29,039
But even conservatives themselves sort of internalize
this and allow themselves to be treated like

353
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,400
their their folk heroes don't deserve the
same acclaim that leftist folk heroes get all

354
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,039
the time from the powerful institutions.
You know, the Kennedy Center is giving

355
00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:45,359
out awards always like to leftists,
And when President Trump gave that to Russia

356
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,279
Limbaugh, it was like, oh, that's like the most obvious award that

357
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:52,799
he should have gotten you know,
two presidents prior, but they didn't have

358
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,640
the courage to do that. They
were always trying to like being a claim

359
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:59,440
from the left by picking someone palatable
to the left, which is never the

360
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,599
way the left operates when they're handing
out awards. Yeah, Rush Limbo was

361
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,079
like a single handedly basically took down
the Clinton administration. He like, he

362
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,920
was a big part of that conservative
revolution in Congress. Like people underestimate the

363
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,160
way that he changed the whole landscape
and the way people spoke and everything.

364
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,640
I mean, I just think he
was an immensely influential person. There's also

365
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,559
just the fact that ideology aside,
he was the best broadcaster in history.

366
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:30,799
I mean, even lefty radio people
will admit that, will acknowledge that.

367
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:36,160
Actually they'll happily acknowledge that that there
was just no one like him in the

368
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:40,359
radio industry. I take a super
weird turn here and just connect what you

369
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,039
just said about how conservatives aren't,
you know, treated like second class citizens.

370
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:47,599
And I think that you can see
that in something that's going on right

371
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:49,279
now, which which is the Oppenheimer
movie. I just want to say,

372
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,279
or the story of Oppenheimer. I
haven't seen the movie yet, so you

373
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:56,799
have to explain, nor have I. But I'm just going to tell you

374
00:27:56,839 --> 00:28:02,839
this. He has always been a
hero of the left because basically he was

375
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,160
a uh you know, someone who
you know, the creator of the atomic

376
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,400
bomb who turned peace nick and who
wanted world peace and wanted to share that

377
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,039
information with everyone. And b because
he was the martyr of uh, you

378
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:21,880
know, McCarthyism and this kind of
like unreasonable Cold War effort. And on

379
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,599
the other hand, you had another
guy, Edward Teller, who was from

380
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,039
Hungary. He was actually Hungarian Jew
invented the hydrogen bomb, and he was

381
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:33,759
always treated like some kind of nut. You know, in Doctor Strange Love

382
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:37,240
he's, you know, the character
with the arm who's always making the Nazi

383
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,759
salutes was based on him, Um, you know, just a warmonger because

384
00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:45,519
he was anti communist, and Oppenheimer
was a communist. He admitted he was

385
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:51,400
a communist. There was a nest
of spies under him. Uh. The

386
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:55,680
Soviets have had the bomb way earlier
than they would have because of him,

387
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,960
and he himself was maybe a spy. A lot of people thought he was

388
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,799
who were not Hartheast types, but
people who worked with him thought he was

389
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:04,720
a spy, but yet he is
celebrated as some kind of hero. And

390
00:29:04,759 --> 00:29:07,920
this is what we do with history. This is what we do with Russia

391
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,480
Limba. This is what we're going
to do with people today. We're going

392
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:14,440
to celebrate people who don't deserve it. You see it in presidentialists. It's

393
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,440
always like Fdr Wilson, these are
the greatest presidents ever. But good presidents

394
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,279
like Coolidge are you know, on
the bottom. Like so you see it

395
00:29:21,319 --> 00:29:23,079
in history, and you know,
Russia Limb is always going to be treated

396
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,960
like a koop by the left,
even those who admit he was talented.

397
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:30,680
And even at the time Clinton used
to you know, he blamed the Oklahoma

398
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
City bombing on Russia Limba. You
know, I mean, this has been

399
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,400
going on for a long time.
So I don't know if that makes sense

400
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:37,599
as a segue, but I just
wanted to talk about that bit. So

401
00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:41,759
do you know anything about how the
movie treats this issue. Does they make

402
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:47,480
Oppenheimer? I mean, we had
a piece by Kylie on Oppenheimer and how

403
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,400
it was sort of ambiguous about who
the good guys and the bad guys were

404
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:52,559
in that film. I think I
don't know I have not seen you did

405
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:56,519
Oppenheimer as a complicated individual. But
I mean, you know, he tried

406
00:29:56,559 --> 00:30:00,759
to kill someone when he's young.
He was a year though, who glorified

407
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:03,079
rape when he was young. I
mean, these are things people don't really

408
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:06,720
talk about. He was a weird
dude. Now listen, I think a

409
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,880
lot of geniuses are very weird,
right, so you have to give them

410
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,519
some space to be weird. I
think the atomic bomb was necessary. It

411
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:17,359
was an incredible project, the Manhattan
Project, and it was necessary and we

412
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,000
needed to get the bomb first and
all that. But I'm not sure that

413
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,759
he would have done that if it
was a war against the Soviets. And

414
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:25,000
that's just the truth. I mean, he wanted to stop Hitler. I

415
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:26,440
don't even think he really wanted to
drop it on the Japanese. I mean,

416
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,119
it's complicated. But my point only
is, and maybe the movie does

417
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:33,799
a good job. But the book, it's based on American Prometheus. I

418
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,640
mean, one of those writers is
from you know, wrote for the Nation.

419
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:38,079
I mean, you know, I
think it's a great book in many

420
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:41,480
ways, but it obviously is it
gives you a certain type of history.

421
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,000
All I'm saying is that these things
are complicated, but right wingers are always

422
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:49,119
true. My big beef historical beef, as you know, is that Warren

423
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:53,400
Harding is always like last list of
you know, of good presidents. Meanwhile,

424
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,240
he was one of our best presidents. He was he was a patriot.

425
00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:00,240
He did everything that a president should
do and acted in the way a

426
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:04,519
president should. But the left doesn't
value someone who's not like a busybody,

427
00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:08,279
who's not creating new giant programs,
who's not getting involved, spending tons of

428
00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:11,480
money and involved in your life.
So I just think that this happens on

429
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:15,359
all levels. And you're never going
to see a movie celebrating Edward Teller or

430
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,519
even about Edward Teller. I bet
you no one even knows who Edward Teller

431
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,759
is. You know, probably like
five percent of Americans maybe you know.

432
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,559
And the guy was an anti communist
and an anti fascist. He was a

433
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,160
more accomplished person than than Oppenheimer.
You know, he was the father of

434
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,960
the idea of star wars, you
know, the Reagan star sdi stuff.

435
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,519
I mean, he was an incredible
man, but no one even knows who

436
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:38,720
he is. And I don't know. These are just my inventing, These

437
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,759
are my history these are beefs I
have with historians. The Nolan film,

438
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,160
yeah, I'll go see it.
I was going to see it with my

439
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:48,960
kids, but I heard there's like
a sex scene, which is like the

440
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,359
first time in a Nolan movie there's
a sex. We wanted to take the

441
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,759
kids to see Oppenheimer, but the
parents review showed, Yeah, there's just

442
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:06,920
like gratuitous nudity and sex and like
prolonged, very difficult to quickly move past.

443
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Yeah, so we took the Oh
sorry, I just want to say

444
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:14,119
Killian Murphy is how he pronounce his
name. I'm not sure. I think

445
00:32:15,079 --> 00:32:19,200
probably wrong. Just a fantastic actor. I loved him and Peaky Blinders,

446
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,160
and I've seen him in other movies. Just amazing. I like Christopher Nolan

447
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,519
in general. We talked about this. His last movie didn't make any sense,

448
00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:29,119
but overall I think he does a
good job. So y'all see it,

449
00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:34,000
Okay. Yeah, So we took
the kids to see Barbie sort of

450
00:32:34,279 --> 00:32:38,680
knowingly, like I'd read and seen
some of the conservative critique of it,

451
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,680
but felt like it would be a
good idea to do it with the kids.

452
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:45,119
We could kind of talk through some
of it, and it did turn

453
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:52,079
out exactly as I hoped my kids
came out of that really understanding that feminism

454
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:58,039
is a joy sucking belief system that
is to be avoided at all costs.

455
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:00,680
I do think it might have gone
a little too far with them in that

456
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:07,519
I heard one of them say that
her favorite part of the movie was when

457
00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:14,480
Ryan Fossling said his name, Yeah, discovers the patriarchy and drags it back

458
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,400
to Barbie Land, and she thought
that was like the highlight of the film.

459
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,279
So I think it might we might
have gone a little too far in

460
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:25,119
how it affected them, But I
don't know. We published a lot of

461
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,680
credit. They dragged back the patriarchy
to barbie Land. Is that the spoiler

462
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:34,480
alert? Okay? And then they
start accomplishing great things in barbie Land finally,

463
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,839
Oh no, And that's actually what
I guess. For me, I

464
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,759
did not. I enjoyed the film
in parts. It is really clumsy and

465
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:46,480
it's handling of the patriarch it's like
stupid. And I also feel like feminism

466
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:51,079
is not a belief system for intelligent
people, so that kind of comes through

467
00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:54,920
too. It's a feminist film,
even while it's trying to kind of poke

468
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,640
at the problems of feminism, but
it just didn't really hold up. Like

469
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,319
to show how awful the patriarchy is, they were showing like pictures of Bill

470
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:08,519
Clinton and Ronald Reagan and John Wayne
and horses. And also all the pictures

471
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:13,480
were from like the eighties and nineties, which was just objectively a better era,

472
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,119
so um, there were no recent
examples. And then like there's a

473
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:22,239
line in the movie about how once
the women triumph over the patriarchy in Barbie

474
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,840
Land, then they're not going to
let men be on the Supreme Court until

475
00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:32,840
women are in the Supreme Court in
the real world. I mean, we

476
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,480
currently have four female Supreme Court justices, And I was like, this is

477
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,079
just stupid, Like you's like being
nostalgic for a period of time when women

478
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:46,760
didn't have these positions, and that
has like it's like thirty to forty years

479
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,280
old. So it just didn't work. And also, like a big part

480
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,440
of the theory is that men run
everything in the real world, which is

481
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,360
just clearly you know, might be
good if it were true, but it's

482
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,559
not true, and so it's kind
of lacked truth in those areas. Wait,

483
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:04,840
what'd you say that it would be
if it was true? It would

484
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,719
be good. What'd you say if
men ran things in the real world,

485
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,320
it might better than what we have
now. So like when I'm being a

486
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:19,000
little provocative there, but when Ken
drags the patriarchy back to Barbie Land,

487
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,000
he takes over the dreamhouse. So
like the dreamhouse when it's centered around a

488
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:25,280
young girl's vision of what a dream
would be, it's like, um,

489
00:35:25,519 --> 00:35:30,440
you know, very open and pink
and airy, and you know, you

490
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,639
get a different outfit all the time, and everything's just sort of like hurt.

491
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:37,639
You know, you have little things
to play with, food and drink

492
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,400
and whatever. And when Ken drags
the patriarchy back and takes over the dreamhouse,

493
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,760
it's got a lot of pictures of
horses. He basically is really into

494
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,280
horses. And what was I thinking
about it? Though? Oh he calls

495
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:58,760
it the Mojo Dojo cosa house instead
of a dreamhouse. It's Ken's Mojo Dojo

496
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,119
cosa house. And we walked out
of there and my husband said, more

497
00:36:02,159 --> 00:36:07,599
like Mojo dojo casa longhouse. Am
I right? You know the theory about

498
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:12,320
the longhouse being how women control everything
in our society and just talk everything to

499
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,599
death. I thought that was funny. But he was pretty miserable the whole

500
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:21,159
time. I was less miserable because
I thought it really captured what it's like

501
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,360
when you're a little girl and you
don't understand the real world, and so

502
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,239
you're doing things like even this is
such a silly little thing, but when

503
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,320
you're playing with barbies or dolls when
you're a little girl and you know that

504
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:36,159
they're supposed to be romance between the
Kendall and the Barbie doll, but you

505
00:36:36,199 --> 00:36:38,960
don't actually really understand what that means. So you just kind of kind of

506
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,559
put their mouths like near each other, but it doesn't really do anything,

507
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:49,079
and you don't even understand what you're
doing. It really captured that like confusion

508
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:52,239
and innocence of a little girl thinking
about what it's going to be like to

509
00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:58,039
be grown up, and in a
way that I thought was very tender and

510
00:36:58,119 --> 00:37:01,280
loving. So I can also understand
why Mark would be like that was the

511
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,559
weirdest thing. Ever. This reminds
me, did you see I don't know

512
00:37:04,559 --> 00:37:07,679
if you get all these emails.
Someone said that they really like our podcast

513
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,639
and they really like how much I
clearly love my husband and my marriage,

514
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:19,000
but they wanted to know why I
always refer to my husband Mark as Mark

515
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:25,000
Mark Hemingway. Well, I think
because he Mark Hemingway on is a very

516
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:28,719
you know, he's a well known
writer in his own right, so you

517
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,920
want to it's a sign of respect
or so that people will know that.

518
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,119
I don't even know why I do
it. So I know he and I

519
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:39,400
used to call each other by last
names or their variations, like I used

520
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:45,440
to call him wemming Hay, which
is, you know, reworking his last

521
00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:49,159
name Hemingway. But then when we
got married and I became and he called

522
00:37:49,159 --> 00:37:52,320
me Ziegler. But then when we
got married, we were both Hemmingways,

523
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,559
and so it just didn't totally work. And Mark is a very common name,

524
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,920
so I don't want to just say
Mark and have people not know who

525
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,360
I'm talking about. I don't know
anyway, It just it really cracked me

526
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,920
up then. But also what cracked
me up was the note from the reader

527
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,679
who was like saying, she really
enjoyed our podcast and she was really curious

528
00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:14,639
about you, so she looked you
up and didn't realize how devastatingly handsome you

529
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:19,119
are. Thanks for bringing that up. So all the pictures of me online

530
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:21,599
are from like twenty years ago.
You know how that happens where you take

531
00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:23,480
these pictures and they're just out there
forever on the internet. And I don't

532
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,880
take pictures, so she should know
that's not it's not that same anymore.

533
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,239
Yeah, unfortunately, Like I don't
want to. I don't want to mers

534
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,039
you. You look much better now
than you did twenty years ago, So

535
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:40,039
like she should just imagine, oh
now the silver haired fox. Anyway,

536
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:44,519
stop. I love our reader or
our listeners. I think for the best.

537
00:38:44,559 --> 00:38:46,159
You know what was funny about that
email that it had a million emojis

538
00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:52,159
in it from the lady. Yeah, the lady anyway, thank you for

539
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:59,079
listening. Any other cultural stuff for
you before we are No, we're doing

540
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:04,280
this higher thing Lutheran youth conference.
So I'm just like surrounded by Lutherans and

541
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:09,159
managing a gaggle of children and we
are having a blast, and I'm just

542
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:15,159
very thankful to have stuff like this
to to do and go to. So

543
00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:21,920
last time I'm really mad about something
cultural, so they remade let me remake

544
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,400
it. There's a sequel to Did
you watch Justified? Oh? Yeah,

545
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:29,639
I love Justified. A Grahams is
amazing storyteller. Yeah, so one of

546
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,840
my favorite shows. So there's a
new one out, like a sequel kind

547
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:38,079
of thing. It's called Justified City
Primeval something like, I think that's what

548
00:39:38,119 --> 00:39:42,719
it's called. So it's like a
seven episode thing where it is one of

549
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:47,039
the it sucked all the joy and
all the fun and all the charm and

550
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:52,840
all the you know, interesting characters
and the southern kind of or the you

551
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,159
know, the sensibilities of of where
he's from and stuff like that. I

552
00:39:57,199 --> 00:40:00,599
am so I'm just so mad about
it. I'm gonna have to to column.

553
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:04,760
I haven't been this Matt since the
last James Bond movie, So I'm

554
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,239
going to write a column about that. The only other thing I've watched.

555
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,960
So I'm going to save that.
Maybe we'll talk about it later because only

556
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,000
three episodes in, and it really
upsets me how people. First of all,

557
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,760
also that show ended perfectly. It
was one of the few shows that

558
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:21,079
just wrapped everything up perfectly. Yeah. I was on even sometimes over the

559
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:22,920
seasons, but I just loved it
so much. But anyway, I also

560
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,280
watched an old movie called Zulu.
Have you ever seen that? With Michael

561
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,119
Kaine. I loved it. I
mean, and I don't think I've ever

562
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:32,800
seen it. Yeah, it's Michael
Kane's first movie. It's fantastic. There's

563
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,320
a sequel, which is actually a
prequel I guess historically called Zulu Dawn with

564
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,400
Peter ro'tool. That came in the
seventies, which I was not as good,

565
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,440
but I also enjoyed. That's on
Amazon, so I recommend it.

566
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:49,280
Oh, I did watch something else. Okay, First off, we did

567
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,199
a basement renovation and so we moved
into back into our basement, which means

568
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,960
that we could have the TV up
and watch a movie on a sofa.

569
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:04,039
It was really exciting for us.
And we watched Starman from Wow, Don't

570
00:41:04,039 --> 00:41:07,719
Say Anything. What's the Dude guy
was in it? Right? And Karen

571
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,519
Allen and he yes, And I
realized that I really like Karen Allen,

572
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,360
like as a little girl. I
loved her character and Raiders had lost Dark.

573
00:41:17,079 --> 00:41:20,639
She was great. Yeah, what's
that guy's name? Though he won?

574
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,639
He won Bridges Jeff Bridges, Jeff
Bridges. Bridges was nominated for an

575
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:29,800
Academy Award for it, and it
was done by that horror film John Carpenter.

576
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,920
Yeah. Um, I thought it
was a really well done movie.

577
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,320
It's about a guy who is an
alien who is invited to this country to

578
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,320
remember how like in the eighties we
would send up, you know, cassette

579
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,239
tapes or laser discs with like invitations
to aliens to come visit us. So

580
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:52,840
he responds to one of them and
comes down, but then is immediately targeted

581
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,920
by the deep state, and how
he just tries to like get back home.

582
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,719
But there was It is basically a
remake of ET with a human being,

583
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:07,280
right, It has the same storyline. So apparently it was optioned first

584
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:13,079
before ET. I learned all this
from my husband Mark anyway. He was

585
00:42:13,079 --> 00:42:15,880
telling me that it was optioned before
ET, and it was I think even

586
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,440
done by the same Spielberg, you
know, Luke Wait No Imagine or whatever

587
00:42:20,519 --> 00:42:24,239
it was at the time. Yeah, anyway, then the original director drops

588
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:31,400
it out because of it being just
like ET, and so John Carpenter reworks

589
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,119
it, reworks it, flops it
out a little bit more, makes it

590
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,119
a little more unique. And yeah, but they all kind of came out

591
00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:40,639
around the same time. You know, I haven't seen that in decades,

592
00:42:40,679 --> 00:42:44,440
so I'll probably give it a shot. I'm a ema Jeff Bridges fan.

593
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:51,559
I am too. My youngest daughter
thought he was too robotic in his Yeah,

594
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:54,519
I remember he acts sort of emotionless, maybe as a right word,

595
00:42:54,599 --> 00:42:58,920
or he acts sort of like a
robot in a little bit or something.

596
00:42:59,079 --> 00:43:02,280
Is that right? So yeah,
all right, Well the character is that

597
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,840
he's brilliant, like much more advanced
than a human, but also it's all

598
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:13,079
new to him. So to balance
that naivete with the brilliance, I think

599
00:43:13,159 --> 00:43:15,440
is somewhat challenging. And I thought
he did a really good job with it.

600
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:20,760
And Kars also in tron Oh I'm
sorry, I'm just thinking about the

601
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,320
eighties. Do you think do you
like Karen Allen? I mean, I

602
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,719
don't. She was an Animal House
as well. I don't know if you

603
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,800
remember, but so, I mean, I you know, when I was

604
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,480
a kid, I had a crush
when I was a young kid at my

605
00:43:32,559 --> 00:43:37,199
first crush was on Deborah Winger.
Oh yeah, which is a weird crush,

606
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,320
right, because I saw I had
HBO and I watched I remember,

607
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,239
I watched, um, what's that
Richard gear movie? Astern and Gentleman?

608
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,079
Yeah, watch, and then I
watched it was like a double feature.

609
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:53,440
I watched Urban Cowboy with John Travolta, which is just Saturnite live in Houston

610
00:43:53,519 --> 00:43:57,400
basically, and you know, with
country music instead of disco. I'm not

611
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,480
even joking. It's basically the same
plot. And I just she was my

612
00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:04,519
first crush. I don't know why
I brought that up. She's sort of

613
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:07,480
like Karen Allen a little, right. I think she's probably a better actress.

614
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,360
Yeah, Well, one thing I
liked about Karen Allen, So you

615
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,679
know, a couple of weeks ago, we were on a movie kick this

616
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,239
summer with the kids. So a
couple of weeks ago, we'd seen Mission

617
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,559
Impossible, and there are a lot
of female characters in it. They're all

618
00:44:17,679 --> 00:44:22,519
the strongest women known to mankind,
Like, they're all able to beat up

619
00:44:23,079 --> 00:44:28,519
multiple men with ease. And one
thing I like about Karen Allen is she's

620
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,159
tough without ever losing She always plays
these parts that are tough without ever losing

621
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:37,239
their femininity, Like they're the toughest
version of a female, but she's still

622
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:43,719
a female. And I always just
feel like it's weird to teach girls that

623
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,480
they can beat up men like that. It does, yeah, as a

624
00:44:47,519 --> 00:44:51,519
plan of action for my own daughters, like I want them to understand.

625
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,840
I told them recently about the women's
soccer team, the US women's soccer team

626
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,960
getting beaten by a group of fourteen
year old boys, and they didn't believe

627
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:02,199
me fifteen year old. But yeah, and Dallas, I think, yeah,

628
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,559
so, but I want them to
understand, like, you can be

629
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:08,920
a really tough, awesome chick,
and you just have biological differences with men

630
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,559
that mean that they are very powerful. So I don't if my daughters think

631
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,519
that if they get in a bad
situation with a guy that they can just

632
00:45:16,559 --> 00:45:22,039
like easily beat him up. This
could lead to them being you know,

633
00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:28,400
very hurt or death. The same
conversation, Yeah, yes, I understand

634
00:45:28,519 --> 00:45:31,159
that they actually have different powers and
different strengths to sort of avoid getting in

635
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,599
bad situations. You have. You
have these women who look like they're they

636
00:45:35,639 --> 00:45:38,239
weigh ninety pounds, right, and
they'll just kick this muscular man in the

637
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:43,079
shin and he'll like fall down,
or they'll like flip over him and flip

638
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:45,280
him. And I don't care if
you're a black belt, that's not happening.

639
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,760
The guy's going to grab you and
hurt you. And now every movie

640
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,920
basically has women acting like they are
men in fights, not even though even

641
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,559
the men can't do this, by
the way, the men that you see

642
00:45:55,559 --> 00:46:00,440
doing this in movies cannot and a
five two you know one men is not

643
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,159
going to do it anyway. Barbie
film, there is a character who's the

644
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,679
dad of is like a husband and
a dad. He's barely there, and

645
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:12,480
he's sort of an incompetent fool,
but like a lovable incompetent fool, Like

646
00:46:12,519 --> 00:46:15,599
he's just clueless about what's going on
in the way as men are in movies

647
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:20,519
all the time, clueless, you
know, Dad's and commercials. That actually

648
00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:23,239
annoyed me a great deal. But
I did want to also mention that there's

649
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:30,119
this speech that the left is very
excited about that America Ferrera gives about how

650
00:46:30,159 --> 00:46:35,360
impossible it is to be a woman. And it's not even that there aren't

651
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,400
aspects of this that are true.
In the speech about how women have to

652
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:45,320
do things are sort of like diametrically
opposed about competence and tenderness and things like

653
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:52,440
that. But the thing that really
bothered me is my oldest actually already kind

654
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,800
of understands and this stuff and does
not do it as like a horrific thing.

655
00:46:57,199 --> 00:47:05,079
But I thought it actually introduced to
young girls a self hatred or negativity

656
00:47:05,119 --> 00:47:07,880
about being female that I just really
wish had not been introduced. There's even

657
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:14,960
a line in it where this teenage
girl says about I don't remember what it's

658
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,920
about. She says, men hate
women and women hate women. It's the

659
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,679
only thing they agree on. And
I'm like, am I just in a

660
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,559
different world? Because in my world, men love women and women love women.

661
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,760
And I know that there are angry
men and angry women who are otherwise.

662
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,639
But like, I was raised by
people who loved women and men,

663
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,760
and I'm surrounded by people who love
women and men, and and I think

664
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,719
that's just I think it has a
lot to do with why I'm so happy

665
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,000
to be a woman, and I
want my children to be I want my

666
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:52,639
daughters to be happy that they are
women. And I hate how feminism introduces

667
00:47:52,679 --> 00:47:59,559
a negativity about being female that just
sort of to me, seems designed to

668
00:47:59,599 --> 00:48:07,159
tear down decreased self confidence and make
people dislike each other more. Yeah,

669
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,000
don't, I never got it.
I mean, I hate people of all,

670
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,599
you know, women and men.
I'm just saying, like, you

671
00:48:13,639 --> 00:48:16,000
know, these are immutable characteristics people
have. It's the same thing with the

672
00:48:16,119 --> 00:48:19,719
race obsession, like you have to
think a certain way if you're a man,

673
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,639
or you have to hate another race. Just doesn't make sense to me.

674
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,280
Women and men are different, they
lead different lives, they have different

675
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,960
concerns, and maybe it is harder
to be a woman. I wouldn't know,

676
00:48:28,039 --> 00:48:31,000
But that doesn't mean that I hate
women or women should hate man.

677
00:48:31,039 --> 00:48:35,559
First of all, it's biology's faults
or God's fault, not a man's fault

678
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:37,519
that you have to deal with certain
things that men don't right, So you

679
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:40,480
know, I don't know, it's
like displacing anger. You can view the

680
00:48:40,519 --> 00:48:45,840
fact that women just date babies as
an awful thing, or you can view

681
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,880
it as a wonderful blessing. And
we're a wonderful thing that's probably very difficult

682
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,119
that a man doesn't have to go
through. It is difficult, and men

683
00:48:52,159 --> 00:48:55,800
have their own things that are extremely
difficult, responsibilities that are placed on them

684
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:01,639
that women don't have. But difficulty
does not mean bad, and difficulty does

685
00:49:01,639 --> 00:49:07,920
not mean impossibility. And viewing all
of these things as beautiful gifts from God

686
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:14,119
rather than this horrible thing that needs
to be complained about it really can affect

687
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:17,079
your lifelong success and happiness. You
just hit on something. I don't want

688
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:20,920
to get too deeply into this,
but I think in the modern world,

689
00:49:21,039 --> 00:49:23,800
everything that's difficult is viewed as something
terrible, like, oh my god,

690
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,599
it's going to be hard for me
to do this, and then you know,

691
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,840
the world so terrible because how you
know I have to work really hard

692
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,880
to get to this level, or
that I have to be to work on

693
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,159
time. So I was watching this
TikTok. This girl's crying that you know,

694
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:42,199
she's she's bound by these hours of
work and there's forty of them a

695
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,280
week, you know, which means
you're not really doing a good job if

696
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,519
you're only working forty hours of the
week. Just said, I dream of

697
00:49:47,519 --> 00:49:53,320
a radio. Yeah, so's it's
weird how everything like, everything's supposed to

698
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,000
be easy and no one's supposed to
suffer. No one's supposed to pay back

699
00:49:57,039 --> 00:50:00,199
alone they took out because it's too
hard to pay back even though you what

700
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:01,159
you were doing whatever. I don't
know, I haven't fully formed this,

701
00:50:01,559 --> 00:50:05,519
you know, formed this idea,
but I just think it's weird how people

702
00:50:05,559 --> 00:50:09,159
treat difficulty is something negative rather than
something that makes your life better once you

703
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,000
overcome it or gives you more confidence
when you overcome it, et cetera.

704
00:50:13,159 --> 00:50:16,239
So that is an interesting aspect to
that. I probably will never go see

705
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:20,079
this Barbie movie. It's just too
pink for me. I'm a man,

706
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,039
and I think there are differences between
men and women in Pink is not my

707
00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:25,440
color. I do like all the
actors in it. I think like I

708
00:50:25,519 --> 00:50:30,840
like both of them pretty much.
Yeah, that ship's hot. What's her

709
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,000
name? I forget her name,
but they were calling her mid on the

710
00:50:35,079 --> 00:50:39,000
internet the other day. Oh so, Sam the intern told me something after

711
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:45,920
church on Sunday that he thinks that
when people were calling her Margot Robbie there.

712
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:51,480
He thinks that when men were calling
Margo Robbie Mid, it was a

713
00:50:51,519 --> 00:50:55,400
total joke, and that they were
wanting people to ask them follow up questions

714
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,719
and then then they could say,
I mean, compared to my Girlfriend's a

715
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:06,360
really terrible way to look at the
calling Margot Robbie mid. But yeah,

716
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,400
Ryan Gossling absolutely steals the entire show. He is definitely the hero of the

717
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,000
of the movie The Old My kids
keep on being like concerned about his characters

718
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:22,239
well being because they feel very badly
about how things end with him. So

719
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,000
he's legitimately a funny guy. I
don't know if you've ever seen him in

720
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,480
interviews, he is legitimately funny,
and I think he I've seen him in

721
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:30,480
movies. I don't remember the names
right now, where I'm like, wow,

722
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,039
he's really talented, Like he can
play the bad guy, you could

723
00:51:34,039 --> 00:51:36,559
play the funny guy. You can
do it. You know all that stuff.

724
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,719
Also singer, dancer, and he's
married to that other hot chick.

725
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,360
The other there are only two hot
chicks. He's married to a super hot

726
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:51,280
chick, right, Eva Longe guy. I mean that that's not I get

727
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,679
all people confused. I just put
it into I just put in his name,

728
00:51:57,679 --> 00:52:01,360
Eva Mendez women, Yeah, I
put I put his name in there.

729
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:07,000
And yeah, so she was a
TV actress. Yeah know, she's

730
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:09,119
very pretty as well. There is
oh yeah, you get all the Barbie

731
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:14,559
stuff. I get all like pink
sparkly things on Google and that's annoying,

732
00:52:15,679 --> 00:52:17,840
by the way. Also, people, I get confused all the actors named

733
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,679
Brian. I think I liked them
all, and they're like three of them

734
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,039
and they're all different movie who you
know, aren't there a bunch of Brian's

735
00:52:27,559 --> 00:52:30,719
anyway? I just quickly want to
say that I'm resentful that I even knew

736
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,519
that there was something going on about
people calling Margot Robbie mid because these are

737
00:52:34,519 --> 00:52:38,280
the things that flow into my feed
on Twitter or x as it's now called

738
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:45,000
Ryan Reynolds. Great, Okay,
who's the guy I think he was at?

739
00:52:45,119 --> 00:52:50,079
This is the most boomer conversation.
We never know the names. I

740
00:52:50,159 --> 00:52:54,199
don't know. I know you're like
you like even just gave me like a

741
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,639
little clue about a movie from nineteen
eighty four, and I'm like, boom

742
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,400
star man, but I don't know
the name of like the actor in the

743
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:06,960
most popular movie, and like,
you know Ryan, Oh, that guy

744
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,760
hasn't been a really around for a
long time, but he was married to

745
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,599
Reese Witherspoon and he was in some
interesting anyway, So he has an E

746
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,679
at the end of his name,
right French. Yeah, I don't know.

747
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,960
I get legitimately blonde ladies confused,
Like they all look the same to

748
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,880
me, and I get very excited
when I see a blonde lady, but

749
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:28,320
I can't distinguish them from each other. Like I know why women go blonde.

750
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,920
Like, if you're a young person, you're in the bar that really

751
00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:35,079
draws your attention, but then I
can't tell them apart. Like it's taken

752
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:37,599
me years with some of my people
I work with in other places, like

753
00:53:37,599 --> 00:53:40,119
okay, that that's that blonde one, and that's that blonde one some other

754
00:53:40,119 --> 00:53:43,599
places. There are a lot of
blonde people in some of the places who

755
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:50,000
work. I am not a huge
fan of Ryan Reynolds, and I let

756
00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:53,679
me put it actually this way.
I think he's a very likable guy,

757
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:59,400
being Ryan Reynolds, and he's always
basically playing Ryan Reynolds in movies. But

758
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,400
I don't think he's got any kind
of like I thought Deadpool was funny and

759
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,159
all that, but it doesn't seem
to have a ton of arranged as an

760
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:09,239
actor. You're right, but I
really like him. I think he's he's

761
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,800
a likable person, and you know
what, he seems like a good person

762
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,599
to me. These these people usually
they are actors. Do you realize they

763
00:54:17,599 --> 00:54:22,000
all come off as likable when really
they're probably all monsters. But I know,

764
00:54:22,679 --> 00:54:23,639
I don't know, you know,
he wants to come off the worst

765
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:28,920
or the most real and nice.
I'm I'm such an old old man now

766
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,559
that if someone's married for a long
time to the same person, like an

767
00:54:31,559 --> 00:54:35,360
actor. I'm like, that's a
good man, like you know, which

768
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,360
is like the lowest like in the
real world. Like it's like when someone

769
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,800
talks about a drug addict, they're
like, you know, they're like clapping

770
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,159
when he's just does a normal thing, you know, Like being married is

771
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:50,480
not for to one woman, is
not some huge thing that you've done,

772
00:54:50,559 --> 00:54:52,199
you know, it just should be
the norm. But like when I think

773
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,480
about like a mad damon or you
know, Mark Wahlberg, he seems like

774
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,400
a good guy or he is a
good guy. I know, I know

775
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,800
people who well and he's he is
that person, Like he's a loving,

776
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:07,000
giving, generous person, religious person, and he goes to church every day.

777
00:55:07,079 --> 00:55:10,079
Yeah yeah, which is weird how
those things always seem to correlate.

778
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:15,920
But not always I should say that's
a lie. But often anyway, we've

779
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,119
gone off into a weird place,
which is good. And I hope that

780
00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:23,280
every bearing with me on my bad, my bad audio, but I'll be

781
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,800
back. It was completely worth it. I'm sure everyone will agree in their

782
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:32,519
emails to us at radio at the
Federalist dot Com segue and until then,

783
00:55:32,679 --> 00:55:36,679
until we speak again, be lovers
of freedom, and anxious for the friend
