A moment of personal privilege, if I may. 24 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,879 My husband, it was a gorgeous day in Indianapolis yesterday, just gorgeous, 25 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,359 and so I was, I was it was my turn to cook, and 26 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,400 I was like, I can't, we can't. We need to go out 27 00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:04,719 to eat somewhere that has outdoor seating because it's too beautiful, too beautiful to 28 00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:07,960 be inside cooking. And so we went to one of our favorite little haunts 29 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:12,159 up in Carmel and there was a couple that was sitting next to us that 30 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,120 recognized me, and they were so sweet that that when we were just leaving, 31 00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:20,680 and they had apparently like known that we were sitting next in but they 32 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,960 didn't want to bother us during the meal, and so they waited until we 33 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,039 paid our bill and they were like hi, and so it was Mary and 34 00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,120 Keith and they were absolutely precious. And I told them, and I'm telling 35 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:35,520 everybody that if you ever see us out and about and you are reluctant to 36 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120 say hi because you think you're bothering or whatever, please bother. We don't 37 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:43,560 mind at all. Yep, say the same for me. I have people 38 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,400 that'll say I saw you at like a BUCkies and I didn't say anything, 39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,159 And I'm like, why, Definitely, if I'm at BUCkies, you have 40 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,800 to say something. And then we have uber nuggets together. Hello, this 41 00:02:54,919 --> 00:03:00,039 is what we do exactly exactly.

I still haven't had my stitches taken out, 73 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,079 Like this is I still have the stitches in for just a couple of weeks. 74 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:11,879 Weren't you supposed to go get them taken out? Well it's like March. 75 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,439 It's no. I mean it's like not for a couple of weeks still 76 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,519 and I still have them. You guys are like, yeah, that's not 77 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,360 even finished. That whole still gosh, the whole hulla baloo, as you 78 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:28,360 would say, all that hulla blue is still happening. Crazy. Okay, 79 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,399 So today's show you guys. I there's some stuff going on, and then 80 00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:36,839 we're gonna have to talk about it and like I don't really want to. 81 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,079 We're doing it. We're gonna get it through it together, you guys, 82 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,519 We're all going to get through together. We're doing this. It's like, 83 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,160 here we go, let's rally. And thank you, Crystal Burgette, thank 84 00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:50,240 you very much for that. Appreciate it. So before we get to some 85 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:56,079 videos, let's talk first about the fact that the Biden has not gotten any 86 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,040 kind of bump whatsoever out of the State of the Union address, which I 87 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,920 find very very interesting, and considering how hard the talking heads on the mainstream 88 00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:06,079 media are trying to say how good the State of the Union was, the 89 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,839 polls are not reflecting that at all. In fact, he is at his 90 00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:16,759 lowest or I guess highest disapproval rating ever like his you know what I mean, 91 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,439 whatever, that it's bad, Like disapproval rating is at the worst it's 92 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:27,199 ever been. And pride surprise. The screaming didn't help him, I mean, 93 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,759 right, because I always react. I always react positively to people screaming 94 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,399 at me. Yeah, I mean, that's just the thing, totally. 95 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,759 Yeah, So that I thought was interesting. So don't believe the crazy people 96 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,519 like Morning Joe and Mika who are like, oh my god, it's so 97 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,000 forceful and awesome. No. Also, gas prices have hit a four month 98 00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:50,360 high, so things are not going in the right direction for Joe and this 99 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,800 economy, and that's not going to help him at the polls either. But 100 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:00,959 never fear, because he's got his girl Kamala on the ca and she is 101 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,040 doing the hard work of going to a Minnesota Planned Parenthood abortion clinic. I 102 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,720 think that's today that she plans to visit a clinic, and so that's that's 103 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,959 all they've got. All they've got the Democrats is they're going to celebrate killing 104 00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:19,480 babies as much as possible and just talk about that as much as possible. 105 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,639 This is such textbook stuff, isn't it? Right? It is really is 106 00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:27,680 I know. I mean, the world is falling apart, our country is 107 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,439 literally in shambles, and they're like kill the babies. Yeah, I mean, 108 00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:36,600 And what's the right tone to strike at a abortion clinic for her? 109 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,319 Like, is she going to go there and be like, Wow, this 110 00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:45,160 look this operation is amazing, Like this looks like this is so cool? 111 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:49,199 Like how do you even play that as a positive well at all? She'll 112 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:56,279 probably cackle all the way through, knowing hardly. Yeah, and then also, 113 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,800 I am not subjecting our audience to this, but they should know that 114 00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:05,639 you informed me visually, uh, that Dylan mulvaney has a single out. 115 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:15,439 Yes, yes he does. He has a single out. Yes, it's 116 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:22,639 he's culturally appropriating a woman in this single and just prancing around. And who 117 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,399 did this? Like, who said the great did Lady Gaga help him with 118 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:31,000 this? I don't know she's in, She's not in the little clip of 119 00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:33,879 the video that I saw, But the fact that there is a single, 120 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,759 and that this is now going to be a new revenue stream for Dylan mulvaney, 121 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,639 which will likely be successful because there's so many idiots out there who are 122 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:48,360 like, yay, god, it's gross, Like yeah, how people play 123 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:52,279 that like in their cars and listen to oh yeah. The comments on the 124 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:54,919 TikTok video there were so many people that were like, oh my god, 125 00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,480 it's giving Rebecca Black and he was like, I know, like it's a 126 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:03,960 good thing. I was like, do you guys not remember how everybody's that. 127 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,720 I mean the visual of it, like I said, like she said, 128 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,759 we're not going to subject you to it, but the visual is just 129 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:15,279 vomit inducing. It's just great I'm so tired of this, Like, where 130 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,080 are the feminists? Where are they? Well, they're playing his song. 131 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,679 They're playing a song and they're jamming out because they're just as bad. Yeah, 132 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,320 you guys in as we know, Saint Patrick's Day is coming up. 133 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:31,720 This is why I'm decked out.

I mean, they just feel so good on and I love the 138 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,960 fact that they are not just loungy pants, but you can totally go out 139 00:09:52,960 --> 00:10:00,000 in them and they look like, yeah, like they look like fancy sweatpants, 140 00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:03,639 you know what I mean, Like they're dress sweatpants if you will. 141 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,559 I'm a jogger girl for sure.

All right, let's talk about what's going on with this 157 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,279 whole TikTok thing. So this has been a very very interesting journey for TikTok, 158 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,679 has it not? Because it all started this whole discussion of banning TikTok 159 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:37,200 started under Trump. Trump was the one as president who really brought this idea 160 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,639 of banning it to the forefront. He was wanting to, you know, 161 00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:46,480 insist that TikTok sell to an American company and so the Chinese Commedies Party would 162 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960 stop having our data. So he's really the one that kicked off this entire 163 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,879 conversation. Now the House has passed legislation that will force a sale within six 164 00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:01,480 months, so they have to apparently sell off to an American company or to 165 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,200 not a Chinese companies party government company, you know, under their purview, 166 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,399 they have to sell off within six months or face being banned. That's according 167 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:16,039 to this bill that passed the House surprisingly yesterday, and now it goes to 168 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:20,440 the Senate, where it's not one hundred percent clear what's even going to happen. 169 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,679 Schumer's keeping it kind of close to the vest on whether he's even going 170 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,039 to bring this to a vote, but it seems kind of like he will 171 00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:30,399 have to because it was an overwhelming victory in the House. It was like 172 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,600 three hundred and fifty something to like sixty something, So I don't know how 173 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,399 they can't take it up. There's a lot of pressure on them to take 174 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:41,639 it up. And there's a lot of people who are concerned about the national 175 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:46,000 security threaout the TikTok poses, obviously, but there are people that are concerned 176 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:50,919 about the ramifications of this specific legislation. And so we've got some reaction from 177 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000 all kinds of people who are talking about this, and then we can kind 178 00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:00,480 of unpack how we feel about it, which unpacking for me is diffault because 179 00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,679 I don't know how I feel about it. I feel all the ways about 180 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,120 it. So first we'll hear from Thomas Massey, who had this to say. 181 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,759 The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized, mister speaker. I know the sponsors 182 00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:18,679 of this bill are sincere in their concerns and in their effort to protect Americans. 183 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,799 They've described the TikTok application as a trojan horse. But there's some of 184 00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:31,039 us who feel that, either intentionally or unintentionally, this legislation to ban TikTok 185 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,440 is actually a trojan horse. Some of us are concerned that there are First 186 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,960 Amendment implications here. Americans have the right to view information. We don't need 187 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,519 to be protected by the government from information. Some of us just don't want 188 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:48,639 the president picking which apps we can put on our phones, or which websites 189 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:52,399 that we can visit. We don't think that's appropriate. We also think it's 190 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,399 dangerous to give the president that kind of power, To give him the power 191 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,399 to decide what Americans can see on their phones and their computers. To give 192 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,240 him that sort of discretion, we also think is dangerous. Now people say 193 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,480 that this TikTok band will only apply to TikTok or maybe another company that pops 194 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:18,320 up just like TikTok. But the bill is written so broadly that the president 195 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,559 could abuse that discretion and include other companies that aren't just social media companies, 196 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,720 and that aren't, you know, as some people would believe, controlled by 197 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:31,559 foreign adversaries. Again, we're giving the president that discretion to decide whether it 198 00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:37,120 is controlled by a foreign adversary. I tend to lean on that side. 199 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,279 I lean on the Rand, Paul and Massy side, because listen, as 200 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,799 much as y'all know, I hate TikTok. Have you been here for more 201 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600 than five minutes, you know I absolutely despise TikTok. I do. I 202 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,200 hate it. I don't like it. I don't allow my kid to be 203 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,200 on it. I don't want to be on it. I don't, I 204 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,759 don't, I don't. I'm not a scroller on TikTok. I'm just not 205 00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:03,120 a TikTok person. But I just think this is a slippery slope when the 206 00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:07,559 I don't like the government being in my business, you know what I mean? 207 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:13,440 Right? I just yeah, the legislation is problematic in all kinds of 208 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,240 ways. And but but then again, it's like, do you do we 209 00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:24,440 want the Chinese Communist Party to have this level of data about our citizens? 210 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:30,399 So, because it sounds like the people that are for this bill really just 211 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,080 want this to be under American control, not necessarily American government control, but 212 00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:41,080 American control. So for example, I mean, Rumble is talking about buying 213 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,919 it, and I think that's great. Like if Rumble actually owned TikTok, 214 00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:52,240 I don't see a problem with that, because you know, it's not going 215 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,240 to be the Chinese Communist Party that's gonna have our data. It's going to 216 00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:58,879 be a private American company. So I don't know, Like, to me, 217 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,039 there's some I just don't know how to feel about it. I'm all 218 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,840 over the place on it. And what's interesting too, is that because Trump 219 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:11,600 is now opposed to this, which is really really weird because he's the one 220 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,720 that had the idea to ban it and have it be sold in the first 221 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,039 place. But according to Daily Mail, they have a whole article about how 222 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,960 Americans are responding to the to the possibility of TikTok being banned, and there's 223 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,399 this paragraph that reads as follows, quote Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who 224 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,720 as president used his executive authority to order byte Dance to sell TikTok, has 225 00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:37,399 now voiced his opposition to it, shortly after meeting with Republican mega donor jeff 226 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:44,799 yass whose company holds a twenty billion dollar stake in byte Dance. So is 227 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,080 there money factoring into Trump's sudden opposition, because that seems really sketch that now, 228 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,320 all of a sudden, the guy that brought this conversation to the forefront 229 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:56,159 is now like, I'm opposed to this, you know what I mean. 230 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,720 So there's I just don't know where everyone's true intentions are. And that's what 231 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:04,119 makes me really worried. You know. Yeah, I just I don't like 232 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,720 that. Well, I mean, I listen, I all I know is 233 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:12,960 that I am a big like freedom of information person, and I feel like 234 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,920 the Chinese, They've already got a lot of our information anyway, right, 235 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,559 I mean they got it. It's they've they're using it. They've got it. 236 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,640 They've so I don't know. And when the government looks at us and 237 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,559 says, like the Nancy Pelosis of the world looks it looks at me and 238 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,319 says, I want to save you, I want to keep you secure. 239 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,160 Bullshit. If you want to keep me secure, you close the border. 240 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:40,200 You know you've done a real, you know, crappy job keeping my family 241 00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:44,119 secure. So if you want to like come in with your cape now and 242 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,440 try to like keep me secure from an app from the Chinese, you're out 243 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,119 of your mind. People like this is just so stupid. Let me handle 244 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,839 that. If I want to like decide whether or not I want my kid 245 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,839 to use TikTok or I want to use TikTok, let me decide that. 246 00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:04,359 It's my decision. So I just I feel pretty strongly about like just freedom 247 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,440 to use whatever I want and to ingest what information. I think all the 248 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,559 information needs to be out there. I think this is a slippery slope. 249 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:17,880 And when the government or any entity starts deciding what we ingest, it's a 250 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,559 it's a bad door to open. It's a Pandora's box of ic In my 251 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:25,720 opinion, I just don't like this at all. But that's what But the 252 00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:29,799 argument is, that's what's already happening, except that it's China who's controlling our 253 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,319 data, And so that's what you know what I mean, that's that you're 254 00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:37,400 I totally agree about the information. I have no problem with people having access 255 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,440 to information. It's who controls the data from the people, I think. 256 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,079 But my point is that I feel like if they can do it with this 257 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,279 app, they can do it with other apps. So let's move on to 258 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:51,079 some other folks reactions. Here's Rand Paul. If you don't like what they 259 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,160 do on TikTok or Facebook or Google, don't use them. All of these 260 00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,119 information, all of these internet companies take up information, and so well, 261 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,480 I think if you destroy TikTok, you may well make its competitors bigger. 262 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:08,119 Some of the people up here lobbying to destroy TikTok are actually their competitors. 263 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,759 So this isn't just about oh, we're against communism. If you don't like 264 00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:17,599 TikTok, don't use them. But realize that in China, they've ban TikTok, 265 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,079 So we're going to somehow defeat the Chinese model by becoming like the Chinese 266 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,440 and banning TikTok. Here. Look, people should use them or not use 267 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,359 them. That's what happens in capitalism. Yeah, I agree with him. 268 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:33,039 I hate it. I hate TikTok. I think it's stupid. I hate 269 00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:36,279 that. Honestly. I think a lot of the people who are like I 270 00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:40,920 have my job is on TikTok. You're stupid, you know. I just 271 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,519 seriously get a real job. Like That's how I feel about this and these 272 00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:47,680 people and all of it. That's how I feel. I just I stay 273 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,720 off it, my kids not on it. I don't want any of my 274 00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:52,960 kids on it. That's how I feel about it. But it's my personal 275 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,720 decision to do that. I don't want the government telling me what to do. 276 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,119 Period. I agree with Rand Well, And it's interesting that there is 277 00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:06,599 by part of in agreement against the bill here is I can't remember Robert Garcia's 278 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,200 take. He's worried about the freedom of speech aspect. Here he is on 279 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,960 the House floor. However, it's important that we don't treat TikTok differently than 280 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,319 other platforms. If we're going to address this issue, we've got to take 281 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,400 the same approach to all social media platforms. We can't just single out one. 282 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,079 Now I join many of my colleagues and the ACLU in voicing concern over 283 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,880 the freedom of expression. Now, I'm a strong supporter of ensuring that TikTok 284 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,400 remains an open marketplace. And there's no guarantee in this bill that there won't 285 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,559 be an interruption of service that could lead to an end of this app. 286 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,359 I don't think we fully appreciate the impact this is going to have. And 287 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,599 for that I'm a strong no, thank you and a yield back. And 288 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,960 that's a Democrat. So he's a strong no. There were like AOC was 289 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,279 a strong no. So again, there's like very strange bedfellows right all over 290 00:20:56,319 --> 00:21:00,960 the map on this issue. Here's Marjorie Taylor Green. The House has done, 291 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,480 as I understand it is not banned TikTok, and so a lot of 292 00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:08,559 the headlines House votes to ban TikTok are inaccurate. What the House has done 293 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:15,359 is said China needs to sell TikTok, that the Chinese Communist government cannot own 294 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,079 and control TikTok, and if China doesn't sell it, then they will ban 295 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,000 TikTok. But understand the objective of this legislation is not to eliminate TikTok, 296 00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:27,319 but to put it on the same footing as Facebook and Google and YouTube and 297 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:32,359 get the Chinese government out of that business. Yeah, but they're all bad. 298 00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:34,039 I mean, you know what, I mean, they all take your 299 00:21:34,039 --> 00:21:38,000 information. They're all bad. They all with the exception of I think probably 300 00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:41,440 right now, Twitter X is probably one of the best when it comes to 301 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,759 having, you know, free speech. But I mean they all squelch you, 302 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:51,400 they all censor you, they all suck you guys. So it's like, 303 00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:56,880 even if an American company took over this crap program, you know, 304 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,759 it still is going to America, are going to make it suck. You 305 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,079 know, they're Stumble, Rumble and locals are the too, well and Twitter, 306 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,440 but Rumble and Locals are absolutely free speech, Like there are no question 307 00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:11,799 but there's no squelching on those platforms. I get it. Rumble would be 308 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:15,319 great, But do we know for sure they're going to do that? Are 309 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,400 we completely guaranteed that they're going to actually do it and take it over. 310 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,519 I mean, they made an offer it's just that I don't know, you 311 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:23,960 know, this has to pass to force the I think, what if there's 312 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,480 a counter offer and somebody else takes it? You know what I mean? 313 00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:30,960 What if what if Zuckerberg buys it? Oh? God, see that's this 314 00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:34,240 is the thing. It's like, are you completely guaranteed that Rumble's going to 315 00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,759 get it? No, there are no guarantees, especially in that marketplace. 316 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,759 I mean, I just no matter what, I just feel like all of 317 00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:45,759 these are kind of the same, all of these social media platforms. There's 318 00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:48,920 a couple that are decent, there's a couple that are like quote conservative, 319 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:52,640 But I just you know, that's why it has to be up to the 320 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,839 individual to decide what am I gonna engage in and when am I not going 321 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,480 to engage in? At least that's how I feel about it. Because and 322 00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:04,079 people need to be smart. They need to know how to think critically, 323 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,559 which I know is lacking these days. But people need to know how to 324 00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:14,160 do that and then implement that sort of critical thinking onto their kids and say 325 00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:18,920 don't use this or use it or use it critically and teach them how to 326 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,039 do that. I was telling Daisy before we went live that there was an 327 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,759 article about just reaction from regular, plain old Americans just on the street in 328 00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:30,119 New York City being asked, Hey, what do you think about this potential 329 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,680 ban on TikTok? And there were such stupid answers, Like there was somebody 330 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,920 who said, you know, I actually wouldn't mind it, because then I 331 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,799 would have more time to do X Y z as if TikTok is somehow, 332 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,960 you know, like in prisoning them, there's a time to looking at his 333 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:48,920 phone and watching TikTok for an hour and a half, He's like, yeah, 334 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,279 it would really save me some time if TikTok would just go away, 335 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,440 like be taken from me, so that I could focus on other things. 336 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,559 But isn't that that has that power? Now? That's emblematic though, of 337 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,839 our of our culture, don't you think. I mean, it's like people 338 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:08,200 are so they're so entrenched in these these platforms that it's like, well, 339 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,839 I mean, if if the government takes it away, then maybe I won't 340 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,799 use it. How about you decide that for yourself, moron? Yeah, 341 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,559 or how about you parent your kids? There's a thought that's asking a lot. 342 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:26,039 How dare you all right? Let's hear from Marjorie Taylor Green, This 343 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:32,880 is really about controlling Americans data, and if we cared about Americans data, 344 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:40,200 then we would stop the sale of Americans data universally, not just with China. 345 00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:45,960 There's some further issues. This is a Pandora's box. What's the stop 346 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,839 Congress or the United States government in the future from forcing the sale of another 347 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:59,039 social media company claiming that it's protecting Americans data from foreign adversary. Agreed. 348 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,000 I saw a lot of that, a lot of that concern on Twitter yesterday 349 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,680 and people were like, oh my god, they're coming after Elon. But 350 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:10,799 the legislation is pretty clear about the fact that they're just talking about any foreign 351 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,279 adversary owning a significant percentage of a company. So like in the case of 352 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:21,640 Twitter, like Saudi Arabia owns four percent of Twitter and the threshold is twenty 353 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,599 So if there's foreign ownership of a social media platform and another platform of twenty 354 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:32,240 percent or greater, then they could potentially force a sale. But that's Twitter, 355 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,920 isn't I mean, it's only four percent. Yeah, it's not an 356 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,519 issue. Still, don't trust the government, you know, because I live 357 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,759 through COVID well and they can change the rules at any time. As we 358 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:44,200 know, absolutely they can change the rules because I live through COVID, so 359 00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:47,279 I don't trust them. And so when they start doing this, I agree 360 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,880 with her. I absolutely agree with her. They will change the rules and 361 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,279 they'll like change the goalposts, they'll move them, and then they'll be like, 362 00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:56,400 oh, well, go ahead, and we'll shut down Twitter because it's 363 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,319 the only place right now where there is free speech and they don't like it. 364 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,759 They don't like that kind of free speech because there's a lot of right 365 00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:06,119 wing free speech, and they'll be like, that's a threat to national security. 366 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,039 We got to shut that down. So I don't trust it. Anytime 367 00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,279 you give the government power, they will take it to the n degree as 368 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:18,680 we have seen. Yeah, we have all lived that for sure. Yeah, 369 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,519 and here is Nancy Pelosi. First of all, this is not a 370 00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:29,559 ban on TikTok. I'm a grandmother of teenagers. I understand the entertainment value, 371 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,200 the educational value, communication value, the business value for some business on 372 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,440 this. This is not an attempt to ban TikTok. It's an attempt to 373 00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:44,680 make TikTok better, t tech toe a winner, a winner. God, 374 00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:49,720 she is so ridiculous. She is like a caricature of a person. I 375 00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:56,920 know, I just cannot either. Tall and so Sean Parnell, to your 376 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,000 point, has the following concerns. He's like, this is why this provision 377 00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:03,759 is buried. It'll go something like this. Twitter allows the next Hunter Biden 378 00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:08,640 laptop story to be published. Deep State says it's Russian disinformation meant to interfere 379 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,960 an election. Demand story to be taken down. Twitter says no, because 380 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,599 of course, whatever the deep State says is Russian disinformation ninety nine percent of 381 00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:19,160 the time. And deep State goes after Twitter for election interference, tries to 382 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,920 force Elon to sell this is all about controlling the narrative. This bill is 383 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,920 another attempt by the deep state to interfere in this election. Agree one hundred 384 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,400 and fifty percent. I don't like it. So it's the slippery slope, 385 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,160 man, I don't like this. They don't know what's going to happen in 386 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,079 the Senate. We'll have to see if they even take this up this week 387 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,680 or not. I have no idea. Yep. They need to stay the 388 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:44,599 f out of all of this. They need to stay out of it. 389 00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:48,880 It's information. It's like you know what, first and fitth amendments. Isn't 390 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720 that what it is? They need to stay out of it. Stay out 391 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,759 of it. I wanted to make sure.

Trump had some good news yesterday for 413 00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:37,000 a change in all of these ridiculous law all these crimes charges, lawsuits, 414 00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:41,359 everything that he's dealing with. And the news was in the case of Georgia, 415 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:45,240 and so I thought, you know what, let's hear how Jim Acosta 416 00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:48,440 has to deliver this news because you know, he does not like to deliver 417 00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:52,559 any good news about Trump. And you can just see it in his face 418 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,599 that he is very disappointed to have to share and have to toss the story 419 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,960 to a reporter to give this update here, who's to tell you about out 420 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,960 of Georgia. The judge in Fulton County has just dismissed some of the charges 421 00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:10,880 in the Georgia elections version case. And as Nick Valencia has been following all 422 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,839 of this for US diligently, Nick, what's the latest. What are you 423 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:18,200 learning, well, Jimisi are charges that have to deal with the violation of 424 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,839 an oath of office. So six of the forty one charges in this case 425 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,279 have been thrown out by Judge Scott McAfee. And we want to be very 426 00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:29,240 clear, we don't want to confuse our viewers here as we anticipate and wait 427 00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:32,880 for his decision as to whether or not he's going to remove Funny Willis from 428 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,720 this case. This is not that order. What this is, though, 429 00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:38,759 is a victory for the defendants, including the former president. One of those 430 00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:42,599 charges, he was accused of trying to get the Secretary of State to unlawfully 431 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,759 overturn the election results. Here, the DA's office had said that it is 432 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:49,920 a violation of the oath of office that he was soliciting from the Secretary of 433 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,880 State, but ultimately the judge in this case ruling that the D's office failed 434 00:30:53,920 --> 00:31:00,079 to include sufficient details that would allow these defendants to intelligently prepare for a future 435 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,480 trial. So he's throwing them out. All of these counts have to do, 436 00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:07,000 as I mentioned, with the violation of an oath of office. We 437 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:10,160 are still reading through this order. But as I mentioned, Jim, this 438 00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:14,079 does not the ultimate decision as to whether or not Fani will be removed from 439 00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:17,160 this case. But in the short term it is a victory for the defense 440 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:22,319 attorneys and defendants in this case. He's so disappointed, he was He's so 441 00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:29,279 disappointed. He's so don trouden, He's so he's like so upset, you 442 00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:30,880 know. He's like he's like, can somebody else do this segment? Because 443 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:36,440 I can't do it. I'm Jim Acosta. Yeah, exactly, I'm so 444 00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:40,119 mad about it. Everything's falling apart. All of these cases are falling apart. 445 00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:44,359 M hmm. It's just it's kind of it's kind of awesome to watch 446 00:31:44,359 --> 00:31:48,720 it. It is house of cards. Man. They just they can't I 447 00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:53,440 mean, name one which one is like even I don't. Can you name 448 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,839 one that's like actually solid, which one is solid? Which one is actually 449 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,319 going to put him in jail? I can't. Well, well, I 450 00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:01,880 mean, you know, who knows when they're even going to get to actual 451 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,279 trial dates. At this point, everything is being postponed. And then there's 452 00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:09,160 still the classified documents deal and how they can even be pursuing that after what 453 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:14,480 they've done with Biden. I have no idea, but yeah, there's still 454 00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:15,960 they're going to try to get him on something. They're going to try. 455 00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:19,920 But I mean, we just keep watching all of them fall apart, and 456 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:27,519 it's like, you guys are grasping. MSNBC also reacting to this positive news 457 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:34,000 for Trump. Here they are momentous decision or monumental decision that could completely derail 458 00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:38,079 the case altogether. If Judge Scott McAfee were to come out and say he's 459 00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:45,000 determined Fannie Willis is disqualified. Yeah, you know, a couple of things. 460 00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:46,119 Absolutely, that's what we're still waiting on. And that was kind of 461 00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:49,680 the bomb that we were expecting to drop this week. And so this is 462 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,839 certainly a separate, unexpected though certainly consequential ruling from the judge. A couple 463 00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:57,359 of things I want to point our attention to though, when we talk about 464 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,200 those six counts. Remember the former president was charged with team counts altogether, 465 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:04,039 so for six of them to be dismissed, that takes away nearly half the 466 00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:08,160 counts that he's facing in Georgia. But when you look at the judges breaking 467 00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:13,279 down of those counts, I want to take you back to what started this 468 00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:15,759 whole thing in the beginning. That was that phone call that the former president 469 00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:21,279 made to the Republican Secretary of State here in Georgia, Brad Rathensberger, essentially 470 00:33:21,359 --> 00:33:25,000 asking him to find enough votes to overturn Biden's election victory here in the state. 471 00:33:25,279 --> 00:33:30,799 Well, the judge is basically saying that the charges, the counts related 472 00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:34,480 to that phone call, he is throwing out. And so that's kind of 473 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,359 what a lot of people know as the biggest thing around these charges for the 474 00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:42,599 former president, the biggest kind of action around it. And so the judge 475 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:46,920 in this ruling is saying that those counts related to that phone call are going 476 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,000 to be thrown out. It's also the pressure. Wow. Yeah, it's 477 00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:57,000 just wow, I mean falling apart, and I love how she's like. 478 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,920 So that's like six of the counts at the I mean that's almost half. 479 00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:07,400 Thanks for doing the math, lady. Thanks. It's very consequential and monumental. 480 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,920 It's momentous, right, So it's just I mean, these people are 481 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,599 losing their minds over this and I like it. I'm so here for it, 482 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,360 all right. Switching gears. There is even Laura Lumer, who you 483 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,159 know, I loathe with the fury of a billion suns. Laura Lumer is 484 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,880 very upset with Trump right now. I mean, she's never upset with him. 485 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:30,320 I shouldn't say that, but she's disappointed in some of the people that 486 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,679 Trump is endorsing in congressional races right now, as are a lot of people 487 00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:38,719 like he's endorsing some people that a lot of conservatives think are total rhinos. 488 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:45,639 And Trump has this habit right of aligning himself with people that are not great, 489 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,440 Laura Lumer being one of them. So it's interesting that I'm actually agreeing 490 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,960 with her on this topic. Well, I mean, I'm confused by some 491 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,159 of them. I'm I mean, it just makes no sense. And one 492 00:34:55,199 --> 00:35:02,400 of the people that Trump just gave a full throated endorse two is Representative Tillman 493 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,679 Timmins. I'm sorry, yeah, Timmins, William Timmins in South Carolina, 494 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:14,039 who is a DEI supporter, who is somebody that calls January sixth and insurrection. 495 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,079 What people do not like this guy, even though he's the Republican representative 496 00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:22,760 out of District four I think in South Carolina. And amazingly, the guy 497 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,519 that he is now, the guy who's trying to primary him, is a 498 00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:31,039 fellow by the name of Adam Morgan, and he took the Internet by storm 499 00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:36,760 yesterday because a clip of him in the state legislature in South Carolina went viral 500 00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:42,960 for all the right reasons. And how Trump can support Timmins ahead of this 501 00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:46,039 guy, I have no idea, but we need a billion of this guy 502 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,679 to be representing us in Congress here in Columbia. Is for me to not 503 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,159 even vote right on the board. Y'all might not know. This a dark 504 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:59,199 money entity that was created on Tuesday, the day after we voted for this 505 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,920 time. I went home and a tax piece went out in my whole district 506 00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:06,760 about the fact that I voted for this. I get that the people in 507 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:13,000 Columbia that the lobby wants me to either not vote or to vote green on 508 00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:16,719 this, But my constituents want me to vote read and they want their tax 509 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:22,880 money spent on core government functions, on their roads, on their schools. 510 00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:24,760 That's what they want their money spent on. So Nay don't want us in 511 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,599 here trying to play this government planning thing where we and our bureaus can figure 512 00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:31,480 out where the job should be, who should be employed, how much money 513 00:36:31,519 --> 00:36:36,800 should be allocated where in the private sector. It never works, it's socialism. 514 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,760 It's never worked anywhere before. So what are we doing to trying to 515 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,159 do it here? Wait? Would you consider the fact that South Carolina's track 516 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,880 record on bringing major projects into this state has a winning record, and therefore, 517 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,639 again Commerce should be listened to rather than those people back in your district 518 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,039 that may not have ever brokened a deal, may not under my god means 519 00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:02,559 of being a project, may not understand economic incentives. So what your suggestion 520 00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:07,960 is we should listen to the people back home how much your district, rather 521 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,960 than the people at Commerce that have been successful bring these mega deals stuff. 522 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:15,880 Mister Rutherford, I don't think that you could have espoused a philosophy that disagrees 523 00:37:16,039 --> 00:37:22,159 more fundamentally than me. I completely disagree with you, and I think that 524 00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:25,840 you believe what you just said. But now I one hundred percent am going 525 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,800 to listen to the people back home who I represent in this House, and 526 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:37,039 you should listen to the forty thousand people in your area and not, and 527 00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:42,079 not the bureaucrats at commerce, and not the lobbyists, and not the multi 528 00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:46,239 billion dollar international corporations. You should listen to your constituents, like I am 529 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:51,480 so yes, I will always fall back on the common sense of the wonderful 530 00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:54,440 people from Taylor's and green Villi's side, far more than I will ever listen 531 00:37:54,480 --> 00:38:00,440 to unelected bureaucrats other representatives in here who have been here for far too long 532 00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:02,440 and it maybe managed a whole lot of these deals, and far more than 533 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,039 I will ever listen to any member, because because that is in your job 534 00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:14,199 description. It's the whole job description that is. That's literally your entire job. 535 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,559 That's your job. Yeah, so maybe do it, so he I 536 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,599 believe it. Yeah, yeah, sadly I can. I can't. And 537 00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:27,639 he stands up and he says it out loud. It's one thing to ignore 538 00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:30,320 your constituents and then on the down load, like take all the payouts and 539 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:35,480 do everything that you're doing, you schmuck, but then to say it out 540 00:38:35,519 --> 00:38:38,800 loud as if you think that that is not your job description. Oh my 541 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:44,400 god, that guy literally said, I mean, shouldn't Those people may not 542 00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:49,320 understand what's going on. So shouldn't we listen to the commerce people. Shouldn't 543 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,239 we listen to the people that are bringing Oh my god, your literal job 544 00:38:53,519 --> 00:39:00,559 is to represent the wants and desires of your constituents who elected you to do 545 00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:05,320 just that. And so the fact that Trump is endorsing the guy running against 546 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,639 that dude is a problem. Yeah, I just it makes me wonder if 547 00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:13,280 he even knows who he's endorsing. Does he know? Does he know that's 548 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,840 bad too? Does he know? Yeah? This is the thing, people, 549 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:21,400 that's and this is Laura Trump needs to be in his ear, if 550 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,519 it's seriously, Miss co chair needs to be checking out these people, and 551 00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:28,039 she needs to know, she needs to be looking at these clips, checking 552 00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:30,800 out these people. She needs to be doing her due diligence and doing her 553 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,400 freaking job and getting in his ear and saying this is what's happening. Change 554 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,400 course. Yeah, I mean, changed course immediately. We need so many 555 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:45,639 more people like that in Congress, so many more people like that. All 556 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,519 right, So we also have a clip from Joe Rogan. I'm not sure 557 00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:50,960 how old this is, but this was also making the rounds yesterday. Joe 558 00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:55,320 Rogan is definitely leaning towards Trump in this election, which is interesting because you 559 00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,280 know, he has the ear of so many young people. So this is 560 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,679 a positive been here for far too long, and it maybe managed a whole 561 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,840 far more than I will ever listen to any member. I would vote for 562 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,760 Trump before i'd vote for Biden, just because the thing with Biden, like 563 00:40:13,079 --> 00:40:15,360 he's no, he's gone, Like you know, he's gone. It's you're 564 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,599 gonna be relying on his cabinet. And I knew his cabinet would be this 565 00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:24,679 inside show of diversity, and which is exactly what it is. You can't 566 00:40:24,679 --> 00:40:30,679 have those kind of people running a Ben and Jerry's. You certainly can't have 567 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,199 those kind of people running the most powerful government the world's ever known. It's 568 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,199 nuts. It's not the health. It's true. It's true. It's like 569 00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:40,360 I always say that it looks like the canteena scene from Star Wars. That's 570 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,519 what his cabinet is like. When they walked us, when they walked in 571 00:40:44,599 --> 00:40:46,840 for the sow too, I was just like, what is this. Oh 572 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:52,960 my god, that's craziness. They're a bunch of freaks, man. Yeah, 573 00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:54,519 I totally agree with them. I'm not surprised by this at all. 574 00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:59,440 I mean, he's been leaning. He doesn't want to right. It's like 575 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,519 he just he doesn't. He's very uncomfortable being a right winger. He's so 576 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,760 he's not comfortable doing it at all, But he's a right winger. The 577 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,039 guy leans right. A lot of these people lean right because policy wise, 578 00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:15,360 that's what they believe in. It's common sense stuff. Yeah, the kid. 579 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,280 They don't want to be labeled as conservative. But you're conservative, Joe. 580 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,519 Get over it. You're conservative. Embrace it. Love it. What 581 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:27,840 have you fed Seymour lately? Because I will tell you I've fed Seymour some 582 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,679 leftover steak and he loved it mine. I actually, it's so funny you 583 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:36,519 say that because I fed him some fat off of a steak. Interesting, 584 00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:40,239 he loved it too, And so Seymour. That's what we call our wrinkles. 585 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:46,000 This is our homecom posting machines, which are absolutely incredible. And I'm 586 00:41:46,039 --> 00:41:50,159 always like, I'm always like it's like a kind of a dare with myself, 587 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,400 like I'm going to see if he will actually break this down. Will 588 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:57,559 Seymour eat this crazy? It doesn't matter what I put in there, he 589 00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:00,880 eats it. So he's had steak. He's had all the orange peels. 590 00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:07,000 He's had actual like you know, kind of rotten oranges. There's no bread, 591 00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:10,360 yes, bread, mold bread, I mean so, and everything just 592 00:42:10,559 --> 00:42:16,239 disappears and gets turned into this beautiful compost in less than twenty four hours. 593 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,480 I mean, that thing is hungry. People are saying meat, but you 594 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,199 can put meat, and you can actually put meat in our absolutely wrinkles. 595 00:42:23,199 --> 00:42:25,840 The wrinkles take meat. So when you say no meat, you're wrong, 596 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,599 because these actually do take meat. Anything or anything organic like that. You 597 00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:34,639 can put meat in ours, yep, and it'll do. It'll just absolutely 598 00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:38,360 break it down so quickly. No smell and like no sound. And so 599 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:45,800 he is the nicest HouseGuest ever. He's very quiet, very efficient, never 600 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,320 a bother. He just wants to be fed once in a while. That's 601 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:52,440 it. And then what he gives you in return is your own fertilizer, 602 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,400 your own compost that I can use for my little plant up here, my 603 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,440 jade plant. I can use it outside to help my lilac tree grow. 604 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,159 It's fantastic to be able to do this at home. And you can save 605 00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:06,000 big, big, big money on the Wrinkle right now. When you visit 606 00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:12,559 Rinkle Dot co. It's r ee n c l E dot co.

I keep mine in the kitchen. 611 00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:32,559 Kim Mine is just like right in the kitchen. Mine is in my pantry. 612 00:43:34,159 --> 00:43:36,840 Yeah, it looks like a it looks like a little paper shredder. 613 00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:40,159 It's about the size of a small wastebasket and it's sleek looking. You can 614 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,400 keep it next to your trash can if you want. But yeah, there 615 00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:46,599 they don't. They hardly take up anyway. You wave your hand over it, 616 00:43:46,599 --> 00:43:50,800 it opens and then it closes automatically. It's like, really they're very 617 00:43:51,079 --> 00:43:53,199 you just by my foot, like it'll just like listen to your foot. 618 00:43:53,519 --> 00:43:55,559 You put your foot right in front of it and it'll pop open. So 619 00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:59,719 if you've got your hands full of all the scraps, that's fine. You 620 00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:01,920 even you can you do it with your foot. It's the greatest. It 621 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:10,000 is absolutely the greatest. Stephen A Smith, he went on a tear about 622 00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:14,840 Joe Biden that I thought was so delicious. This is just a piece of 623 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,840 it to you guys. He went on and on, but I thought, 624 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,599 normally I can't stand this guy. But of course what he's saying here is 625 00:44:20,599 --> 00:44:22,920 one hundred percent right. I mean, Joe Biden looked like he had energy 626 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:29,440 last night. The question is can you rely on him to do that for 627 00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:36,480 four years starting next year? He's so mad, that's the question. We're 628 00:44:36,559 --> 00:44:42,280 screaming. He gives a speech for an hour and ten minutes or so on 629 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:49,280 a week night in March of twenty twenty four, and suddenly that warrants four 630 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,079 more years for a dude that's gonna turn eighty two years of age in November. 631 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,119 Oh my gosh, she'sa and is expected to give four more years after 632 00:44:58,159 --> 00:45:02,159 that. I said before and I'll say it again. It is an utter 633 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:09,519 disgrace that in the year twenty twenty four, the Democratic Party, who calls 634 00:45:09,599 --> 00:45:17,599 itself progressives, is begging and relying upon an eighty two year old to come 635 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:24,639 save the day for twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven, 636 00:45:25,159 --> 00:45:32,679 in the twenty twenty eight And if you think that an hour speech offsets 637 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:40,679 all of that. You smoke and crack. Crack is whack, you guys, 638 00:45:42,159 --> 00:45:45,639 Crack is whack. I just can't tell you how much I enjoyed that. 639 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,880 And I don't ever enjoy stephen A. Smith. No, he's not 640 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,079 enjoyable. We've met it, we've met him. He's not very enjoyable, 641 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:57,480 not enjoyable at all. So anyway, I thought people would get a kick 642 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,000 out of that because that was unexpected, if you will, unexpected some other 643 00:46:02,039 --> 00:46:07,840 big news yesterday, and that is that Don Lemon and Elon are having a 644 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:13,239 spat. It is giving a little ugly. So it all started with this 645 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,800 big statement from Don Lemon on Twitter, where because you may remember a couple 646 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,079 of weeks ago, he'd announced, oh, I've entered into this commercial arrangement 647 00:46:21,159 --> 00:46:23,199 for my show to be on X and this is going to be like this 648 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,599 huge thing that I'm doing specifically on X, kind of like how Tucker started 649 00:46:27,599 --> 00:46:30,480 out with his show on X. So he released this big giant statement saying, 650 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,639 well, all of a sudden, Elon Musk has canceled the partnership that 651 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,559 I had. And so he said that Elon is the one that encouraged him 652 00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:43,440 to do it, which is true because there is an original tweet from Elon 653 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:49,119 making the suggestion that's that's public. I still don't understand this though. I 654 00:46:49,119 --> 00:46:51,719 don't understand what it means by we have a partnership. Why can't you just 655 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,840 post your crap on Twitter? Well, there was obviously a money there was 656 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,679 gonna he was gonna get paid for this show, okay, which is ridiculous 657 00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:01,199 because he he has, like what we said in pre show, like twenty 658 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:06,000 five to thirty million from CNN and a sellout from like a payout from them. 659 00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:10,000 So just post your crap on Twitter. Well, orientally, that's what 660 00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:14,519 he's saying he's going to do. So he's like, this doesn't change anything 661 00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:15,719 about my show. I'm still going to do a show. It's going to 662 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,960 be on YouTube, it's going to be here. It's just that this partnership 663 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,639 that Elon had given him is no more. So he released the written statement 664 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:30,320 and then he also released, Hi, everyone, Evon Musk is mad at 665 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:35,199 me, and I just put out a statement about what happened between him and 666 00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:38,559 me and the interview that he is apparently so upset about. But make no 667 00:47:38,639 --> 00:47:42,639 mistake about this, this is going to be my first episode of The Don 668 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,119 Lemon Show this coming Monday, March eighteenth, so make sure you tune in. 669 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:50,679 This has not changed anything about the show except for my relationship with Elon 670 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,880 in X and there. There's a whole lot that went down, and I'm 671 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,239 going to tell you about in the coming days. I know, though, 672 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,800 that many of you were not happy that I was doing this in the first 673 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,639 place, and you told me so. I just want you to know that 674 00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:04,400 I did this deal because not only do I believe in free speech, but 675 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,000 I believed that this was the best possible chance for the work that I'm doing 676 00:48:08,039 --> 00:48:12,599 to reach the largest amount of people. So, speaking of free speech, 677 00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:15,079 right, I thought the first person interview no brainer. Elon Musk, the 678 00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:20,000 man who calls himself a free speech absolutist, I asked him to do it. 679 00:48:20,119 --> 00:48:23,199 He willingly agreed to the interview. Throughout our conversation, I kept reiterating 680 00:48:23,199 --> 00:48:27,840 to him that although it was tense at times, I thought it was good 681 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,199 for people to see and hear our exchange and that they would learn from our 682 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:36,239 conversation, learn more about him, learn more about me. But apparently free 683 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,519 speech absolutism doesn't apply when it comes to questions about him from people like me, 684 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,800 what did we talk about? Why is he so upset? Does he 685 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,079 even have a reason to be upset? Make sure you watch it on Monday 686 00:48:47,159 --> 00:48:51,800 on YouTube and everywhere you listen to podcasts, and you can decide for yourself. 687 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,760 You can even watch it on next because I'm still going to post it 688 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:59,760 there and I'm sure others will as well. Yeah, it z Aggie's going 689 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,000 to sit it down. I mean no, it's Elon's going to keep it 690 00:49:02,079 --> 00:49:06,199 up there. So this guy's a schmuck, you know. Well, the 691 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,159 official business account said, this is a platform that champions free speech. We're 692 00:49:09,199 --> 00:49:13,960 proud to give this open environment for diverse voices. The Don Lemon Shows welcome 693 00:49:14,039 --> 00:49:17,199 to publish its content on X without censorship because we believe in providing a platform 694 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,960 for creators to scale their work. Blah blah blah. However, like anybody 695 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,440 else, we reserve the right to make decisions about our business partnerships, and 696 00:49:24,519 --> 00:49:28,639 after consideration, we've decided not to do this. That's what they said. 697 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,840 So somebody pushed Elon and said, but why, But like why though, 698 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,039 because you're the one that had this idea to begin with, and so this 699 00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:42,119 is what he said. He said his approach was basically just CNN but on 700 00:49:42,199 --> 00:49:45,440 social media, which doesn't work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is 701 00:49:45,519 --> 00:49:49,119 dying, and instead of being the real Don Lemon, it was really just 702 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:53,880 Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so it lacked authenticity. All this said, 703 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,800 Lemon and Zucker are of course welcome to build their viewership on this platform, 704 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,480 along with everybody else. So that I think that's a great response. It's 705 00:50:02,519 --> 00:50:06,880 a great response. And now that we're starting to see some clips of the 706 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:12,039 interview coming out, it's it got tense, and you can tell that it 707 00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:15,960 got tense. And maybe that's the reason that Elon said and he's using this 708 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,519 as a cover, or maybe this is the real reason. I don't exactly 709 00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:24,440 know. Here is a here's one of the clips from their interview. You 710 00:50:24,519 --> 00:50:29,400 recently met with Donald Trump in Florida. What did you guys talk about? 711 00:50:29,559 --> 00:50:31,800 How is that a breakfast at a friend's place and Donald Trump came by? 712 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:39,920 That's it? What'd you discuss? I mean, let's just say he did 713 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,000 most of the talking. Did he ask you for money? It didn't. 714 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,079 Are you going to loan him money to help pay his legal bills. I'm 715 00:50:47,079 --> 00:50:51,440 not I'm not paying it paying legal bills in any way, shape orful. 716 00:50:51,519 --> 00:50:53,480 Did he ask you for a donation? No? Are you leaning towards anyone? 717 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:58,719 No, you're not leaning towards anything because you've been leaving it leading away 718 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:05,360 from Biden. You're leading. So that was the first clip. It's just 719 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,000 he's so like, let me ask you all the personal questions, you know, 720 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:12,880 like, yeah, what did you talk about? Like if somebody asked 721 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,920 me, like what you and I talked about yesterday, I'd be like, 722 00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:19,760 I don't freaking remember, I don't know stuff we talked about stuff. Don, 723 00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:23,199 It's just the questions are weird. But anyways, go ahead. So 724 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:29,199 well, this next clip is about about the fact that Elon gets criticized for 725 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,360 some of the things that he retweets or posts on Twitter, and so Don 726 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:37,159 Lemon is asking about what responsibility he has to like vet his own content hate 727 00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:43,000 speech on the platform is up? Do you believe that X and you have 728 00:51:43,039 --> 00:51:46,639 some responsibility to moderate hate speech on the platform that you wouldn't have to answer 729 00:51:46,639 --> 00:51:51,159 these questions from reporters about the great Replacement theory as it released. I don't 730 00:51:51,159 --> 00:51:53,679 have to answer this question. Great replacement theory as it relates to Jewish people. 731 00:51:53,679 --> 00:51:57,800 Do you think that I don't have to answer questions from reporters? Don? 732 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,000 The only reason I've been this interview is because you're on X platform and 733 00:52:00,119 --> 00:52:04,679 you asked for it. Otherwise I would not do interview with this interview, 734 00:52:05,159 --> 00:52:07,719 So you don't think do you think that you wouldn't get in trouble or you 735 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:14,440 wouldn't be criticized for these things? Possibly I could care less? And who 736 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:20,360 defines hate speech? Who defines that? I don't know, But whoever does 737 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,320 says there's an increase, okay, And so it's Don, it's Don, 738 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:28,199 and and you know his old boss. They define that that this is the 739 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,679 thing I don't. I'm curious, like, and where's the where's the data 740 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:36,480 on that? And how do they do? How do they create the data 741 00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:39,119 and the statistics for hate speech? That's what I'm trying to understand, because 742 00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:44,119 hate speech to one person may not be hate speech to another person. That's 743 00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:49,639 what I'm trying to r right well, And interestingly, he was invited back 744 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,920 to his old stomping grounds at CNN by Aaron Burnett to talk about this whole 745 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:59,920 thing. And so he here's what he said about where the fight stands now 746 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,000 elimination. He had actively courted you to come on one of his tweets. 747 00:53:02,039 --> 00:53:05,800 Have you considered doing your show on this platform? Maybe worth a try. 748 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,800 Audience is much bigger it had been public. Then you had reached a deal. 749 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:14,840 Talk about that later. Then he texts. Twenty four hours after this 750 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,760 ninety minute long interview, which is the first of your show launching, he 751 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,760 says contract is canceled. What happened? First of all, it's good to 752 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,639 see you and thank you for having me aaran. That's a good thing. 753 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,519 Quite frankly, what happened, I don't know. As I said in my 754 00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:34,360 statement, I felt really good about the interview, I said to him as 755 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,920 we were doing the interview, and it was tense at moments, but you've 756 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,280 been involved in tense interviews, I said to him. I think it's good 757 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:45,960 that people see folks like you and I who have different worldviews come together and 758 00:53:45,039 --> 00:53:51,119 talk. As he says, have free speech. Free speech is only important 759 00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:52,760 when someone you don't like, or I would say, someone who doesn't have 760 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:59,000 your same point of view are someone if they're allowed to speak freely and to 761 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,239 say their point of view. Apparently that doesn't matter to Elon Musk. It's 762 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:07,199 just for maybe talking points for him, a rhetoric because it doesn't seem to 763 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:13,880 matter when it's about him, questions about him from people like me. So 764 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,239 what do you think? Is it personal or is it not personal? Oh 765 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:21,039 my god, it seems like it's a little personal, But it's completely personal. 766 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,039 He has a total chip on his Shoulder's absolutely personal. Yeah, he 767 00:54:24,159 --> 00:54:28,519 hates this guy and he's out to get him. Wait, no, I'm 768 00:54:28,559 --> 00:54:30,639 asking about the reason for Elon canceling it. Oh no, No, I 769 00:54:30,639 --> 00:54:34,719 think that Don Lemon is he hates Elon and he's out to get him. 770 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,199 He hates him, and he just wants to like, he wants to get 771 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:38,519 in there and be like Nina, Nina, I'm totally wanting to get you. 772 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,480 Do I think it's personal with Elon? Oh? You think it's personal? 773 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,400 I tend to think it's personal. Oh. I don't think he likes 774 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,679 him at all. I don't like him. And if I had a company, 775 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,920 I'd be like, I don't want you work in here, and I 776 00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:54,079 you know what, And I reserve the right to do that as somebody who 777 00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:58,679 owns a company. And we own a company. If I don't like you, 778 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,599 I don't have to hire, right, I mean, is that a 779 00:55:01,639 --> 00:55:07,800 problem? It's not a problem. It's like screw No, I'm not saying 780 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,559 it's a problem. I'm just saying, do you buy this whole it's a 781 00:55:10,599 --> 00:55:14,440 scene in it's you know, it's not really an original show. It's just 782 00:55:14,519 --> 00:55:19,280 CNN and it's not really Don Lemon being authentic. Or do you think Elon 783 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,719 just didn't like the way he was interviewed and he can't take the show. 784 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,599 I think it can be both. But what is is Eli going to say? 785 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,400 I think he's a jerk. I think the guy's a jack hole. 786 00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:30,880 I don't want him here. But I think I think both are true. 787 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:36,880 Both are absolutely true. But I think that Don Lemon hates him as much 788 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,679 as Elon hates Oh, There's no question about that, and that's exactly why 789 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:44,039 he had him be the first guest in his interview. Totally. Yeah. 790 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:49,440 On a side, it's just like the disdain is palpable, and it just 791 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,400 sucks actually because now there's going to be probably a lot more eyeballs on Don 792 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:58,639 Lemon's show just because of this drama, you know what I mean? And 793 00:55:58,679 --> 00:56:01,480 so I hate that. I hate that there's I just hate that this has 794 00:56:01,519 --> 00:56:07,360 all happened. Go do some reels on Facebook, Don Lemon. I'm sure 795 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,719 Zuck would would welcome you with open arms. Yeah, you know, there 796 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,760 are a lot of other platforms you can go to. Why X? Why 797 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,199 do you want to go to X? This is the thing people diss elon. 798 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,800 You know, a lot of these like liberals would be like, Oh, 799 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,039 I don't like him, he's this, he's a jerk, he's this, 800 00:56:22,119 --> 00:56:25,559 he's whatever. But then they want to be on his platform. Oh 801 00:56:25,639 --> 00:56:29,320 yeah, they all want to be They all want a piece for sure. 802 00:56:29,639 --> 00:56:31,639 It's funny how that works, isn't it. Why do you want to be 803 00:56:31,679 --> 00:56:35,800 there? If you think he's such a loser, Why do you want to 804 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,519 be on his platform so bad? There are a bazillion other platforms you can 805 00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:45,280 be on. Pick one, Don. It's been a while since we have 806 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:50,199 talked about the goings on in Israel, and as you know, Biden has 807 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:54,119 been getting more and more vocal and including in the State of the Union, 808 00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:01,639 about criticizing and Yahoo about criticizing Israel's response about you know, essentially blaming them 809 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:06,960 for the for the trouble that they've had in getting humanitarian aid to the people 810 00:57:07,079 --> 00:57:12,800 in Gaza. It's all nonsense because Hamas is one hundred percent at fault for 811 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:17,400 all of this, and that's what keeps getting lost on Democrats. So net 812 00:57:17,519 --> 00:57:22,000 Yah, who is actually on Fox the other day, asked about you know, 813 00:57:22,239 --> 00:57:25,559 what's going on with you and Biden. What's why is he telling you 814 00:57:25,599 --> 00:57:30,239 that this red line of going into Rafa is a red line? What's your 815 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,880 conversation's been. Here's because to ask him what he said, because he agrees. 816 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,199 He said that he agrees that we have to destroy Hamas is a fighting 817 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,480 organization. That's what we intend to do. Look, it's either is Reel 818 00:57:42,559 --> 00:57:45,079 or Hamas. There is no middle way. I mean, we have to 819 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,119 have that victory. We can't have three quarters of a victory. We can't 820 00:57:49,159 --> 00:57:53,599 have two thirds of the victory because Hamas will reconstitute itself with these four battalions 821 00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:59,639 in Rafa, reconquer the Gaza strip and do the October seventh massacre over and 822 00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:02,679 over and over again. And for us visual not merely for me, that's 823 00:58:02,679 --> 00:58:08,039 the prime. That's a red line. We can't let Hamas survive. And 824 00:58:08,119 --> 00:58:14,039 so this change in tone is catching a lot of people's attention. And I 825 00:58:14,119 --> 00:58:17,840 like the way that ag Hamilton twenty nine on Twitter said it. He says, 826 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,599 it's absurd if you think about it, because the Biden administration proposed a 827 00:58:21,639 --> 00:58:24,239 ceasefire deal. They spent a week saying Hamas had a deal on the table, 828 00:58:24,599 --> 00:58:30,559 and Israel accepted it. Hamas rejected it. So then Biden's response to 829 00:58:30,599 --> 00:58:36,119 them rejecting it is by launching this big campaign attacking Israel and saying, oh 830 00:58:36,239 --> 00:58:38,480 and yeah, who's out of control and like there needs to be a ceasefire 831 00:58:38,519 --> 00:58:45,199 blah blah blah. It's totally weakening Israel's position, right, and it's ridiculous. 832 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:46,840 And I don't I don't get what's happening at the White House because it 833 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:51,159 seems like they're all of their wires are crossed. Because if you listen to 834 00:58:51,199 --> 00:58:57,480 other people, Jake Sullivan, for example, he's still really firm about Hamas 835 00:58:57,519 --> 00:59:00,119 being the problem. So I don't know if it's just like the squad getting 836 00:59:00,159 --> 00:59:04,159 in Biden's ear and they're like messing with his head because you know, he's 837 00:59:04,159 --> 00:59:07,519 so malleable, he'll like he'll just he's a puppet. So whoever is in 838 00:59:07,559 --> 00:59:10,199 his ear at the time is pulling the strings. He's like, oh, 839 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,320 yeah, the squad is right. Well, I can tell you this would 840 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,719 not happen if on Trump's watch. No, it would not, just would 841 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,920 not happen. We would not be dealing with this bull crap. No, 842 00:59:21,079 --> 00:59:25,199 we would not. But at least I guess Jake Sullivan is still saying the 843 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:30,039 right things, if you want to look at it that way. Here's when 844 00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:36,039 it comes to the issue of the hostage talks. One of the things that 845 00:59:36,079 --> 00:59:40,840 I have found somewhat absent from the coverage is that what we are talking about 846 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:46,400 in the first phase is women, elderly and wounded civilians, those who would 847 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:51,960 like to see a ceasefire in Gaza. A ceasefire is on the table today 848 00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:55,400 for six weeks, to be built on into something more enduring. If Hamas 849 00:59:55,400 --> 01:00:00,559 would simply release women wounded and elderly, this is not difficult, and the 850 01:00:00,599 --> 01:00:05,960 fact that they will not do so says a lot to me about Hamas's regard 851 01:00:06,719 --> 01:00:10,599 for innocent Palestinian civilians. The fact, right, he's saying the right things, 852 01:00:10,599 --> 01:00:14,199 but it's like your action speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you 853 01:00:14,199 --> 01:00:17,719 say. Yeah, but and Biden's not saying those That's exactly, That's what 854 01:00:17,719 --> 01:00:21,800 I'm saying. By the actions like he's you would think that the President would 855 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,679 be backing this up and doing all the right things and saying all the right 856 01:00:23,719 --> 01:00:28,000 things, and he's not. Yeah, it's just it's so weird that they're 857 01:00:28,039 --> 01:00:30,280 they're part of the same administration. It's just like, you can't You're not 858 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,199 going to please the squad, so just stop trying. You know, he's 859 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,320 and he's the leader of the administration. Yeah, it's just bizarre. And 860 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:43,000 of course John Fetterman, one of the few things that he's right about is 861 01:00:43,039 --> 01:00:46,599 definitely this here he is at a recent speed. I grieve for the loss 862 01:00:46,639 --> 01:00:55,280 of any innocent Palestinian, Israeli Israeli soldiers, anyone. It's all tragic, 863 01:00:55,559 --> 01:01:00,559 and there is a lot of blood, but every drop of it belongs on 864 01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:05,719 the hands of Hamas, and only with Hamas. He's right, he is 865 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:10,599 absolutely right. Yeah, I mean, they could stop this. The hostages, 866 01:01:10,719 --> 01:01:15,480 you morons, like, my god, this is not difficult. Why 867 01:01:15,519 --> 01:01:19,400 is this so difficult for people? I don't I just I will never understand 868 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,880 it. I will never understand anyone who is on the side of like screaming 869 01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:27,039 ceasefire without even knowing that there is that on the table. It's not Israel's 870 01:01:27,039 --> 01:01:30,119 fault that there's no ceasefire, like all the ceasefire on October sixth, right, 871 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:34,639 like all exactly, like all the celebrities of the oscars who were like 872 01:01:34,679 --> 01:01:37,599 seasefire, and they were there's stupid pins. Oh my god, so punishable. 873 01:01:38,039 --> 01:01:43,960 Not that I can don't violence on this show, but yeah. Uh. 874 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,320 And then Bill Maher also on the right side of this issue. Really 875 01:01:47,599 --> 01:01:52,639 this I loved this little this little clip of him because he's talking specifically about 876 01:01:52,639 --> 01:02:00,320 what Israel brings to the table compared to all these other Middle Eastern backwards to 877 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:05,239 ask countries. Yeah, I said it. For all the progressives and academics 878 01:02:05,239 --> 01:02:08,760 who refer to Israel as an outpost of Western civilization, like it's a bad 879 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:14,880 thing. Please note, Western civilization is what gave the world pretty much every 880 01:02:15,039 --> 01:02:20,840 liberal precept that liberals are supposed to adore, individual liberty, scientific inquiry, 881 01:02:21,199 --> 01:02:25,000 rule of law, religious freedom, women's rights, human rights, democracy, 882 01:02:25,199 --> 01:02:30,920 trial by jury, freedom of speech. Please somebody stop us before we enlighten 883 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:35,480 again. And since one can find all these concepts in today's Israel, and 884 01:02:35,559 --> 01:02:37,599 virtually nowhere else in the Middle East. If anything, the world would be 885 01:02:37,679 --> 01:02:43,000 better placed but had more Israel's. Of course, this message falls on deaf 886 01:02:43,079 --> 01:02:47,159 ears to the current crop, who reduce everything to being only victims or victimizers. 887 01:02:47,199 --> 01:02:52,559 So Israel is lumped in as the toxic fruit of the victimizing West, 888 01:02:52,079 --> 01:03:00,159 the irony being that all marginalized people live better today because of Western ideals in 889 01:03:00,199 --> 01:03:06,480 spite of it. Exactly m h exactly, yeah, and I love that 890 01:03:07,159 --> 01:03:14,400 absolutely. Okay, bring it in you guys. Thank you again for all 891 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,360 the prayers for Gwen. We're gonna be taken off here in like the next 892 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:20,760 fifteen minutes to take her to surgery and then I'm sure I'll be getting her 893 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,320 comfortable and all that kind of stuff today. So thank you again for all 894 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:27,679 the prayers. I appreciate it, She appreciates it and love you guys so 895 01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,920 much. Thank you for that. You guys have a great Thursday, and 896 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:31,039 we will talk to you tomorrow
