1 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,359 Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You All Wrong with Molly Hemingway 2 00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:20,839 and David Arsani. Just a reminder, if you'd like to email the show, 3 00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:26,640 please do so at radio at the Federalist dot com. Molly, we 4 00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:30,559 have a lot to talk about, and when I have these does anything in 5 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,520 our entire time of doing this have we ever had a more dramatic week than 6 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,359 the last week since we taped? I don't know. I always like jot 7 00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:40,200 down notes for the podcast, so I don't forget. I'm like, it's 8 00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:42,759 just filled up a whole page. I'm like, I don't know. So 9 00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,479 I've kind of mapped out how maybe the discussion should go. I think we'll 10 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:53,640 probably end up freewheeling it, but I think it's worth are no usual way. 11 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,000 It's like we'll start talking and you'll just jump to my last point immediately, 12 00:00:57,039 --> 00:00:58,840 but and then we'll work all way back. But we'll see how it 13 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,920 goes. I think, obviously the starting point for our discussion should be the 14 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,319 debate itself last week, which happened the day after we recorded our last podcast. 15 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,200 I actually had not an IU like viewed it before, you know, 16 00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:15,599 you know, in the lead up to it, I thought that Biden would 17 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,200 probably be okay to some extent, like he had a week's rest. I 18 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:21,719 thought, you know, he would have like, you know, they would 19 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:23,439 have prepared him enough. But right off the bat, I was like, 20 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,000 this is insane. He was speed mumbling, he wasn't making sense, and 21 00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:30,439 it was I think, and I wrote about this, I think the most 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:38,280 disastrous debate performance presidential debate performance in the history of the United States. None 23 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,200 has been more consequential and changing the trajectory of a candidacy and all that stuff. 24 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,359 Do you let me, what do you think? So I was really 25 00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:51,120 annoyed. You know, on Fox, we have to do so much of 26 00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:53,319 that preliminary stuff where we're like, what's going to happen at the debate. 27 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,200 I hate talking about what's going to happen. I always think what's going to 28 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:02,519 happen is going to happen, so me predicting something has no effect on what 29 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,480 will happen. But I just heard so many people saying this is gonna happen 30 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,479 and that's going to happen, and I just wanted to watch it. And 31 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,879 when I sat down, like you David, within five seconds and I tweeted 32 00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:21,719 out, oh my goodness. It was just my mouth was open. I 33 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,039 could not believe how bad Biden was. And I say that as someone who 34 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,319 has been publicly talking about his advanced age for like six years now or something, 35 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,919 and or maybe five years. So it wasn't like I was shocked that 36 00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:43,759 he's dealing with some mental acuity issues. But usually on big nights they get 37 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,639 him hopped up on goofy pills. His eyes are big as saucers, he's 38 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,000 shouting. Sure, he's never as good as the corporate media say he is, 39 00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:54,319 but he's usually like functioning on big nights, like his two debates. 40 00:02:55,479 --> 00:03:00,159 He was very shouty in that first debate in twenty twenty, where everybody was 41 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:04,120 awful. Trump was awful, He was awful, Chris Wallace was awful. 42 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,199 But I could not believe how bad it was. I was in absolute shock. 43 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,639 And I was on the sofa with my husband and he was just gooff 44 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,360 buying like a little boy. I mean, he doesn't laugh like this, 45 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:24,680 but he was laughing hysterically how bad it was. And I mean the whole 46 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,919 debate, I just kept putting my hands over my eyes. I would I 47 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:36,439 feel pain when other people are horribly underperforming even if I'm not like a political 48 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,479 ally of theirs, And it was painful to watch. It's very difficult for 49 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,120 me to watch someone embarrass themselves, even in like a movie. So it 50 00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:46,360 was it's like, on one hand, as a human being, I was 51 00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:49,080 like, this is insane, and I was sort of like like laughing. 52 00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:52,360 And then as a columnist or whatever I do, I was like, this 53 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,159 is terrible for America. I can't believe this is happening, you know, 54 00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:00,560 because we are I mean, he is obviously incompetent. So let's talk about 55 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,879 a few things, the debate itself, and then I'm going to get into 56 00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:05,639 some of the other stuff. So I thought that the first of all, 57 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,919 let's recall I want you. Let's recall that Joe Biden to cut that video 58 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,879 on Twitter, like that WWFF or whatever it's called now, video, you 59 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:17,279 know, challenging and Donald Trump. So Donald Trump agrees to it. On 60 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,439 CNN, they come up with all these rules to try to help Biden, 61 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,319 cutting off the mic, all of that stuff. I think all of that 62 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:29,680 helped Donald Trump be more disciplined, like let he just let Biden sort of 63 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,000 hang himself answer after answer, And I thought, I actually thought Trump was, 64 00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:38,959 as far as he goes, incredibly disciplined in this debate, not to 65 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,600 go off on tangents, not to kn't believe him saying these words, not 66 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,920 to gratuitously insult him maybe or mock him, even though he did land a 67 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,560 couple of big punches, especially with I killed Medicare or whatever moment. But 68 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:59,279 I think it helped Trump. So I do think that because Trump is who 69 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:03,360 he is, and I don't know, I think his campaign has been run 70 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,240 incredibly well for a couple of years now, and it's kind of the unremarked 71 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,279 upon story people act like, well, of course he was going to win 72 00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:16,959 the nomination. In fact, he had a huge uphill climb after the midterms, 73 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,800 and he has been His campaign has actually been very disciplined the entire time. 74 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,920 And even when it comes to something like CNN was pretty clear about what 75 00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:31,519 the rules were. You know, you had two minutes to answer a question, 76 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,920 and then there was a one minute rebuttal, and then there was like 77 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:39,199 a one minute at the discretion of the quote unquote moderators who are left wing 78 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,160 Democrat activists, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. But Trump seemed to actually prepare 79 00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:49,279 for two minute responses and one minute rebuttals, whereas with Biden he just kept 80 00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:53,560 being told like, you have forty eight seconds left, or you know, 81 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,279 he had so much time left. He didn't seem to have very well rehearsed 82 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,720 remarks. I do think that some of the constraints took away some of the 83 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,519 beauty of a Trump debate, Like if he is truly allowed to just let 84 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:15,079 his freak flag fly, he can land some amazing blows. And I'm not 85 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,759 saying he didn't have some amazing landing punches, but the restraint was better overall. 86 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,639 But it did you know, it was a restrained, disciplined debate performance 87 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,759 from Trump, which is what people always say they want, and I think 88 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,800 that's right. And it was very policy focused and not on personal attacks. 89 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:36,639 But do you kind of get what I'm saying, Like there was that beauty 90 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,680 of the you would be in jail kind of line or yeah, it was. 91 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,360 It undermined the fun factor of a Trump debate where he's just out there, 92 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,519 you know, you know, just going bananas, which can be very 93 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,759 funny. I don't think I think that people like that about him, though 94 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,279 already like him, and I'm not you know, I think a better or 95 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,600 more discipline debate will probably listen. I don't think debates are that important typically, 96 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,800 but this one, I think it was. This one was yeah. 97 00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:12,160 But what I mean is like, I don't think that that's playing to that's 98 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,240 not playing to us. It's not something he should be doing in this election 99 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,680 right now. I think he needs to reach out to you know, he 100 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:23,000 needs to convince people in the suburbs, women in the suburbs, whatever, 101 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,079 that Biden is bad for their schools and children in the economy, and he 102 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,160 is a person who can run the country. But I think that does you 103 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,279 think anyone remembers anything Trump did in this debate, I don't. I mean, 104 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:36,720 I think this debate is all about Biden. You know, I'm not 105 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:42,399 saying that it was like the the super best debate I've ever seen from anyone, 106 00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:46,120 But I actually think it wasn't just that Biden did poorly. I do 107 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,879 think it's that Trump did well, and he did well in an area that 108 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,560 he's normally not good at, which is restraint. So he did take advantage 109 00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:59,279 of you know, when when Biden said we defeated Medicare, was that I 110 00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:03,920 don't even remember that? And Trump took advantage of that his line about I 111 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,120 don't know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don't 112 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,839 think he knows either. It was brutal, but it was for Trump by 113 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:18,360 Trumps standards, actually kind of like a nicely restrained insult that summed up, 114 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,160 It summed up everything. And he's very good at that, like not getting 115 00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:26,199 bogged down in the details, but just kind of summing up what everybody's thinking. 116 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,519 And that's a big part of his appeal. So I do think he 117 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:35,200 did well. I thought his closing statement I okay. I thought it was 118 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:41,000 good, but not great. And I think that the problem was even though 119 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:46,600 he stayed extremely policy focused and he took on the debate moderators like appropriately and 120 00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:50,240 didn't take the art should say, didn't take their bait which they were throwing 121 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,600 out like chum, I think he needs to do a better job of painting 122 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,200 a positive vision for the country in this campaign and in this and in a 123 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,440 debate performance. And so for me, the big thing that sticks out is 124 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,600 when they had a closing statement opportunity, he should have just gone soaring with 125 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,639 a beautiful picture of what life can be like, and he it just didn't 126 00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,279 really inspire me at all. I agree when he said, you know that 127 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,840 we're basically a third world country. Now I've got I always said it. 128 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,639 I don't love I don't I don't like that. Actually I'm not saying things 129 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,840 aren't going bad, but I think it's just like a too negative, too 130 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,519 negative and too much of a Doumer kind of way about it. But everything 131 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,799 is it's hyperbole all the way down now in both sides. So I don't 132 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,360 really know, you know how that lands with Americans? Okay, so the 133 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:48,080 debate's a disaster. So immediately everyone has to admit that there's no way anyone 134 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,320 can say it went well right. It's that bad, which is maybe the 135 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,600 first time I've ever seen that in my life. So what do so now? 136 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,440 This is this is where it gets tricky. This this skuy and where 137 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,399 do we go? I think we should go to the cover up. There 138 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,679 was a media cover up. It's been going on for how many years? 139 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,039 You said, You've been talking about it for six years. But let's just 140 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:15,799 say they've been covering up Biden's cognitive problems since the twenty twenty election when he 141 00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,879 ran out of his house. I mean, given that it's Biden you might 142 00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:22,120 say they've been doing it for about five or six decades. I mean, 143 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,080 he's always been considered one of the stupider people in Washington, d C. 144 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,440 But go on, yeah, I mean he's a middling intellect, and he 145 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,519 has been a blowhard, you know, and an incompetent blowhard in the Senate 146 00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,279 for years. The very idea that he's president is scary for anyone who's followed 147 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,200 his career. So yeah, they covered that up with us. Let's jump 148 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,919 around. I don't even care. So they're always saying, well, he's 149 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,440 a decent man. Would you rather pick the decent man over the lying Donald 150 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,360 Trump? Well, first of all, there's scant evidence that Joe Biden is 151 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,960 decent at all. I think he you know, the way he drops principles, 152 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,480 you know, left and right, he hasn't held one is you know, 153 00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:00,600 shows that he's not. But the lying that he does, lying about 154 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:05,039 his personal life that he's always done, is just historic. There's no other 155 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,799 president who's lied about their life like him, none, zero, now from 156 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,720 the beginning. But more than that, this was the talking point. Well 157 00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:15,279 Biden might have stumbled, but she had to face an avalanche of Trump lies, 158 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,840 and he was honest, like this was lit. I saw this over 159 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:22,639 and over again. It is Biden lied that Donald Trump called like off the 160 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,240 bat, lied that he called neo Nazis very fine people. He lied that 161 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:31,399 Donald Trump told people to inject bleach. He lied about something else personal I 162 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,600 forget right, like his first statement, and then he lied throughout on policy. 163 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,600 Right. I'm not saying Donald Trump's like this great truth teller. He 164 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,120 exaggerates a lot, but Biden lied as much, if not much more, 165 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,600 during that debate, right, So he stumbled and lied, and the idea 166 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:52,759 that he's a truth teller is insane. Who believes that he had to leave 167 00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:56,720 the presidential race in nineteen eighty eight because he was considered one of the world 168 00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:03,519 history's greatest liars and the media just cover that up like they've covered it up 169 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,440 for years. They will continue to cover it up. But yes, there 170 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,120 are two issues there. They say he doesn't lie when he's actually one of 171 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:15,840 the most prominent liars in American history. And then they say he's decent when 172 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,279 there's no evidence that he's actually a decent person. I mean, you can 173 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,240 take that on a really global scale, like when he said that no American 174 00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:28,279 troops had died under his watch. That was a horrible lie, which covers 175 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:35,559 up his own failure to handle the withdrawal from Afghanistan properly and which led to 176 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,200 the suicide bombing that killed a dozen American Marines and soldiers. Like, that's 177 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,360 a horrible lie. It's a really evil lie. But they're all. And 178 00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:50,600 then there are also like the personal lies and the personal lack of decency. 179 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,279 I mean, Donald Trump is kind of notorious from his Howard Stern days for 180 00:12:54,399 --> 00:13:00,840 not treating women appropriately. He's been married three times, that's a that's a 181 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,000 problem for him. And also Joe Biden started dating his wife when she was 182 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,480 married to another man. That's not decent. And so I just hate this 183 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,799 idea. Or like he used his son to run the family business even though 184 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:20,519 it either helped cause, it either caused or helped contribute to his son's life 185 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:26,559 threatening addiction issues. That's not decent. I'm not even getting into, you 186 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,919 know, the diary from his daughter which alleges all sorts of, you know, 187 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,759 unspeakably bad things. The idea, how how about the stolen valor essentially 188 00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,679 of saying that your son died in Iraq when he did not die in Iraq. 189 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,519 He constantly repeats that lie. I mean, that is a despicable lies, 190 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,799 not just some exaggeration or whatever, you know, New York Times says 191 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,200 it is. He also lined to Donald Trump said Hitler did some good things, 192 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,159 which I don't think is ever been proven. He just says it as 193 00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:58,279 fact. In fact, he based his whole, uh sort of attack on 194 00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:03,759 Donald Trump on the idea that he loves fascists and he is pro neo Nazis 195 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:05,320 and stuff like that, and the whole thing's made up. There was no 196 00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:09,720 you know, so the people who complain, oh, CNN didn't do any 197 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:11,440 fact checking, Well, there's a lot of fact checking to do right off, 198 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,960 you know, his initial statement that they didn't do. Now, I 199 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,279 do think that with the very big exception of Dana Bash's like stupid badgering after 200 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,679 Donald Trump answered the same question like eighteen times that he needed to answer the 201 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:35,720 question differently or something that Donald that Joe Biden was doing so horribly that I 202 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,360 think they just kind of decided they were going to stare clear of the blast 203 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,039 zone and that that also was good. Like I have less complaints. I'm 204 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:48,639 going to have nothing but complaints about Jake Tapper and Dana Bash's propaganda careers. 205 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:52,200 But as far as actually their role in the debate, there's not much to 206 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,759 point out of. I mean, a lot of quote unquote moderators who are 207 00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:01,720 actually activists are just horrific. They were not so bad. That was fine. 208 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:07,080 I mean, you know, the oftentimes they ask questions no one cares 209 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,919 about that they do like the climate crisis upon us. You know, what 210 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,799 are you going to do about? And stuff like that. No one really 211 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:16,000 cares. But I'm fine with that. I thought, I actually thought Trump 212 00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:20,600 answered the question of will you accept this election? Well, he said, 213 00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:24,720 yeah, if it's fair, blah blah blah, Like that's how you answer 214 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,600 that question. The idea that you should just accept it preemptively because people tell 215 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,559 you do is just not right. But here's what bothered me. Joe Biden 216 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,840 is a conspiracy theorist about the two thousand election, and he was. He 217 00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:41,919 said that Trump wasn't the legitimate illegitimate president in twenty sixteen, and neither He's 218 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,600 never they never bring that up with him, Like, why is it okay 219 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:52,279 to to uh to deny certain elections and not others? I knows A rhetorical 220 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:58,960 question it's party's role in rigging elections. They don't ask about his his administrations 221 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,759 role in censoring American speech, which is interference in elections in a way to 222 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,240 rig them. They don't talk about his executive order which requires every federal agency 223 00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:11,440 to get involved in the twenty twenty four election to help Democrats. I mean, 224 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,000 that's the functional effect of it, because they're all just Democrat propagandists. 225 00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:19,120 So we should remember that when we go, oh, like, they weren't 226 00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:22,440 so bad. They weren't so bad except they asked questions that help Democrats. 227 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,519 Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I think knowing how to answer that 228 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,600 those questions and answering them well is a good skill to having an election. 229 00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:36,279 I mean, Biden, it was just semantic rubble every time, and then 230 00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:38,919 he couldn't even finish the two minutes. And that was the almost the worst 231 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,480 and most embarrassing part where they're like, well, you have forty more seconds, 232 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,639 you have anything else to say, And he didn't have anything else to 233 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:49,120 say. So last week I wrote a piece and the headline was stop trying 234 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,320 to convince me Joe Biden isn't a confused, dotting old man. Literally, 235 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,759 from one week to the next We've gone from the videos of him wandering off 236 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:03,759 shaking hands with the Managiner people being a conspiracy theory being misinformation to everyone in 237 00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:08,359 the media just turning around and treating it as fact. And there will never 238 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,440 be any explanation for how that happened, or why it happened, or how 239 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:17,720 they covered it up. And the same people are going to now become mouthpieces 240 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,599 for Democrats who want to get rid of Joe Biden. Let's not pretend they're 241 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,599 doing it for the truth. They're doing it because they got caught. They 242 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:29,359 couldn't gaslight after this debate anymore. And that was that. I want to 243 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,359 quote Charles Cook here. He had a tweet the other day it said, 244 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,000 if you're looking for a broader takeaway from all this, take how the press 245 00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:44,440 covered up Biden's infirmity because it wanted to protect the Democrats and apply it to 246 00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:48,720 literally every single thing that it does on any topic, in any year, 247 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:56,480 in any circumstance forever. Yeah. I realized that it's a really bad situation 248 00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:00,599 the country is in, that the commander in chief is in competent. And 249 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,640 I don't want to like belittle that, because that's actually a national security threat, 250 00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:14,480 but our corporate media working so hard to cover up that story for years 251 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,799 and gas lighting Americans who noticed what was going on as being part of some 252 00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:26,920 deep, fake, cheap fake conspiracy theory. Cabal is evil. They are 253 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:33,119 enemies of the people because of what they do. There is no They are 254 00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:38,880 really what enabled one hundred percent of Democrats to lie about Joe Biden's condition. 255 00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:47,200 They are what enabled that entire lie of the twenty twenty election to take place. 256 00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:52,599 Like he was hiding in the basement, then he was struggling, then 257 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,799 he was having gaffs the few times he was allowed out. Then he was 258 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:03,240 incomprehensible then, and they lied and they covered it up because they out of 259 00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:07,640 their hatred for one man and his supporters. And that is evil. That 260 00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:11,000 is enemy of the people type stuff. I know that's like really extreme language, 261 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:17,119 but they put the country in a very dangerous position there. They need 262 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:22,519 to never be believed on literally anything. Ever. Again, it's the same 263 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:25,839 thing with the Hunter laptop stuff. It's the same thing with the Supreme Court 264 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,279 ethics problem stuff. You know, It's the same thing with the Russia collusion 265 00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:30,920 hoax. It's the same thing with everything like Charlie says in that tweet. 266 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,880 I mean there is literally no issue where they haven't done this. They've convinced 267 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,839 themselves that the truth isn't as important as saving democracy, which can mean anything 268 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,039 to them, and stopping Donald Trump. And then, by the way, 269 00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:48,720 that then became stopping all Republicans because you saw what they were doing to dissantis 270 00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:52,480 during COVID, like whoever was running now even if it was missing the same 271 00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:56,480 thing who are concerned about curriculum in their children's school. You see what they 272 00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:02,480 do to people who care about unborn children, Like they lie about literally everything 273 00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:06,640 up to the point. And also like they actually embrace mental illness. You 274 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,039 know, you take how the AP says that if a man claims to believe 275 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:14,680 that he's a woman, you are required to call him a woman and you 276 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,000 are required to always refer to him as a woman. That is an embrace 277 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:23,119 of mental delusion. And the Biden, you know, syco fancy is just 278 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,519 part and parcel of that. I feel like, yeah, like one day 279 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,599 someone comes up with this nonsense and then everyone just follows and we all have 280 00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,720 to do it. But aside from that, AP could if it was a 281 00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:37,599 fair you know, and unbiased, non biased or news organization, and I 282 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,279 think it's one of the worst. Now, it would at least give the 283 00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:42,960 other opposing view of why people did not do not feel comfortable doing that, 284 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,720 but it doesn't. It treats them like, you know, some kind of 285 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,240 bigots and so forth. I wanted to quickly read you from CNN story Carl 286 00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:56,039 Bernstein Watergate fame, right, huge, you know, famous reporter saying telling 287 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,799 I forget who the host was that even you know his supporters as to say 288 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:03,400 that the debate wasn't a one off. There have been fifteen to twenty occasions 289 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,319 in the last year and a half of the president has appeared somewhat as he 290 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,079 did in that horror show that we witnessed. Yeah, we know, we 291 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,519 have videos of it that you told us, you hacks told us were fake. 292 00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:19,359 But more than that, where was this guy last week or the week 293 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,240 before? Where were any of them last week? Politico has a big story 294 00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:27,599 now about this, So obviously there's a huge effort now to push Biden out 295 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,720 Right, I think the media is all in on that. They just turned 296 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,359 one to eighty and now they're on that. I do before we get into 297 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,839 the media effort because I think that's actually a huge issue. The only thing 298 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,519 that's changed here is the media. I mean technically Democrats are by and large 299 00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:48,759 still sticking by Yeah, their guy. But you mentioned Karl Bernstein. He 300 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,680 was one of the four authors on CNN's original Russia Hoaks story, which really 301 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,039 got the Russia hoax going. It was authored by Jake Tapper, Karl Bernstein, 302 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,200 and two other uote unquote reporters. What they did is they laundered an 303 00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:07,039 info op from the FBI into the American people to subvert an American election. 304 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,799 That effort, that Russia collusion hoax went on for years. There were thousands 305 00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:17,759 of stories. They won awards. Carl Bernstein won an award with Jake Tapper 306 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:23,000 for being willing to be used by James Coomy to launder this infooperation against the 307 00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:27,400 American people. And they did it with no like there was nothing. You 308 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:33,920 might remember that I started opposing the Russia collusion hoax at the same moment that 309 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:38,759 Jake Tapper and Karl Bernstein embraced it, based on the same information. Meaning 310 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,119 I knew it was a hoax, and I'm not you know, I'm not 311 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,480 super smart or anything. They knew it was a hoax, and they ran 312 00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:52,799 this you conspiracy theory info op because of their hatred for Republicans and for them 313 00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:56,799 to be like, oh, we had so many troubles covering Biden's semility, 314 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000 there were so many journalistic ops. There were no journalistic obstacles when it came 315 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,359 to running a conspiracy theory. But when there was like evidence before your eyes 316 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,799 and ears and like any kind of like four year old could figure out something 317 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,599 was going on, then there were journalistic obstacles. And that's why these people 318 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,640 are beneath contempt. And one hundred percent of the things that Jake Tapper and 319 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Carl Bernstein say should be viewed with the suspicion that their career has has told 320 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:27,359 us they should be viewed with. And what's dangerous about that is that when 321 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,519 something real happens, we're not going to actually believe them anymore, you know. 322 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,680 I mean, I know people don't think about that, but if like 323 00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:37,039 some like if Jake Tapper or CNN reported something that they had found that was 324 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,200 real and dangerous to the country, I wouldn't believe them anymore. Do you 325 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,400 have any I think Americans have completely lost trust in the media. Not that 326 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,079 they're reporting anything real. I see your face that you're incredulous, but I'm 327 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,720 just saying, yeah, I just feel like that's like, by the nineteen 328 00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:53,000 eighties you should have figured out not to believe corporate media. Not by hey, 329 00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:56,240 listen, they're the one, They're the highest funded, they have the 330 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,240 means to find things out, and I used to have to read between the 331 00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:03,319 lines and figure stuff out. Now they just line. It's a completely different 332 00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:07,480 ballgame. It's much worse than the eighties or nineties or two thousands, even 333 00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:11,160 in my view, I mean, this is just propaganda now, not biased. 334 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,640 There's a difference a great old timey journalists that I've worked with in the 335 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,039 past, like they might have hated Republicans, but if there was a juicy 336 00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:22,079 story to get a Democrat, they probably go for it, you know. 337 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,960 Jill Abramson, who was the executive editor of The Times, said this yesterday. 338 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,200 The Biden White House clearly succeeded in a massive cover up of the degree 339 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,480 of the president's feebleness and his serious physical decline. So what she's saying is 340 00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:41,640 that the six figure making journalists that our team, you know, that the 341 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,839 newsroom there's teaming with not one could figure out that Joe Iver in ten columns 342 00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:49,119 about it, that Joe Biden was not up for the job. Who are 343 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,359 literally close to him? Hey, if only there were video, if only 344 00:24:53,400 --> 00:25:00,119 there was a transcript from a special Council named Robert her who who said that 345 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,400 months ago, where's his apology? Scarborough? Joe Scarborough called him like a 346 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,319 Republican dupe, you know, and destroyed, tried to destroy his reputation anyway, 347 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,880 Sorry about that too. I just want to say that Jill also said, 348 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,240 well, the reason why they didn't cover this was because of Trump. 349 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:27,519 They were worried that being honest as journalists in any way might help Trump be 350 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:33,400 elected by the American people, and they didn't want to have democracy on their 351 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,960 hands. Basically, they didn't want to allow the American people to know information 352 00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:42,799 that guided their voting in a way that was opposite what journalists want politically. 353 00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:51,839 So we might as well talk about the immunity decision that finally came down Supreme 354 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,240 Court. I forget what the split was, which I thought was quite narrowly. 355 00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:02,880 I am a skeptic of immunity of it. There's no immunity clause for 356 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,200 the president and the Constitution, so I'm skeptical of the reverence it's given by 357 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,160 the courts. However, this decision was narrowly tailored. It made all the 358 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,440 sense in the world to me. But yet, of course there was a 359 00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:21,480 hysterical freak out that now presidents are immune from all criminal behavior. Such a 360 00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:26,960 mayor who is not just dumb but reckless, gave some example about it. 361 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,359 I think it was a seal team six, you know, killing their political 362 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,559 opponents and so on, and everyone went with it. And you know, 363 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:41,319 Nazi Germany's here again. And then the president shuffles out, can barely read 364 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,680 four minutes from a teleprompter to tell us to have the goal, to tell 365 00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,559 us that he respects the courts and separation of power, as he's attacking the 366 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,799 Supreme Court of the United States, by the way, and that he has 367 00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:57,079 never ended three and a half years usurp that separation. And then he shuffles, 368 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,559 doesn't take any questions. If you really still there, he would be 369 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:06,680 having had a press conference right anyway. I found that really distasteful. Yeah, 370 00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:11,039 this is the least important thing, but my favorite thing about his you 371 00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:15,440 know, three and a half minutes reading from a teleprompter to disabuse people of 372 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:22,519 the notion that he can't answer questions extemporaneously under any thing. But the friendliest 373 00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:30,799 conditions was that he borrowed Donald Trump's orange makeup. This is weird. It 374 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,400 was so weird because you know, at the debate he had seemed almost like 375 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,799 translucent, he was so pale and you know, staring off into space. 376 00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:41,640 And then when he came out at the White House, he was orange, 377 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:48,119 and you know, it barely works for Trump to be that orange, but 378 00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:51,640 it was. There were two things from the Babylon But that made me laugh. 379 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,759 One is that they always have this thing about how their satire ends up 380 00:27:55,759 --> 00:28:00,839 being fulfilled, and they call it prophecy fulfilled, that it ends up coming 381 00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:03,720 true. So they'd had a piece years ago about how Joe Biden's campaign was 382 00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:07,240 going to say like make America great a second time, and they pictured him 383 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:11,240 with like Donald Trump hare and or makeup, and they were like, yep, 384 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,720 this is true. And then the other day they had a thing about 385 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,119 like awkward moment when Joe Biden and Donald Trump run into each other at the 386 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:25,759 same fake tanning salon. But how weird is that? Did you see him 387 00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:27,960 yea, did you see him say that? I'm sorry to jump in here, 388 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,599 but that Joe Biden claimed that he had gone fifteen time zones you know, 389 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,559 around the world before the debate, and he it was stupid and he 390 00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:37,960 almost fell asleep and he was tired. First of all, he went to 391 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,359 Europe. Second, the Air Force one as a freaking bedroom. Thirdly, 392 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,880 he took a week off before the debate. It's just one ballaant lie after 393 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,960 the next. So the first lie that they told, you know, maybe 394 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,839 it's true. The first claim they made as soon as Joe Biden started doing 395 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,400 poorly is like, oh, we forgot to tell everybody he's got a really 396 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:02,079 bad cold. Then immediately after the debate they send him out to a diner 397 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,279 to breathe on and shake hands with people while he supposedly has a cold. 398 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,559 Yeah, and then they like kept him shaking hands with people while he supposedly 399 00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:14,720 has a cold. Like and I don't know if it's because I have a 400 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,799 week in immune system, but I don't like it when people who are sick 401 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,079 go out and make me sick. So uh, anyway, that was a 402 00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:26,279 weird. Yeah, I think you went to a waffle house or something. 403 00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:30,039 Yeah, it's weird. Not only was we're Joe Biden and I, you 404 00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:32,400 know, both in Europe at the same time. We're both in Italy at 405 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,119 the same time, and so I do understand. Like every time I fly 406 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,480 east, like to Europe for and then and then we're expected to go right 407 00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:44,880 into meetings. I am one of those people who's like falling asleep in the 408 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,000 middle of the meeting as soon as I arrived in Rome and we had to 409 00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:52,079 stay up like from eight am until a decent hour to sleep. That night, 410 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,799 I was falling asleep on my tour of the catacombs, like it was. 411 00:29:56,039 --> 00:30:00,000 I am Joe Biden, like in my inability to handle now that happened 412 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,200 to me. If there's a two hour difference, if I go to Denver, 413 00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:03,720 I like have to recover for like two days. I'm just saying, 414 00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:07,559 so I get that. I actually that is like coming back is the easy 415 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,000 part, right, Yeah, because you get more time, right, and 416 00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:15,079 maybe maybe takes a day or two, let's give it three or four, 417 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,119 let's say five days. But he'd been home for two weeks. The idea 418 00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:23,799 that he took a week off of work, and then also once his team 419 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:30,680 started leaking against his advisors. His advisors are like, screw that this dude 420 00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:33,960 didn't start debate prep until eleven am, and then he had to take a 421 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,440 few hours off in the afternoon for a nap, like they just started, 422 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,240 like making it seem even even worse. So their their explanations for his sinility 423 00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:45,720 are not stacking up. But anyway, he is. He is, as 424 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,680 Politico says, dependably engage from ten to four. That was axios, I 425 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:56,119 think, but yet same thing. I loved that because that's good because nothing 426 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,759 bad happens outside of those hours. Globally. Speaking back to his statement against 427 00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:10,039 the Supreme Court, you won't mention that he said he's like never he's never 428 00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:14,279 like usurped the separation of power, or he like he respects the courts, 429 00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:17,759 unlike Donald Trump, who ignores them. Yeah, so this is a guy 430 00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:22,839 who part of his major campaign pledge or you know, boast, is that 431 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,839 the Supreme Court told him it was unconstitutional to steal money from law abiding American 432 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,960 citizens to pay off debts of people who could pay them off, you know, 433 00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:37,440 but are choosing not to or who don't want to. And he's like, 434 00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,920 Supreme Court told me I couldn't loot the treasury or like loot your money 435 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:48,039 to pay for a valued constituencies student loans. But I told them I'm going 436 00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:51,880 to do it anyway. So the idea that he respects this, you know, 437 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,039 is I mean the same. The democratic part is just you know, 438 00:31:56,079 --> 00:32:01,119 attacking the Supreme Court as we speak. So the whole thing's none. Yeah, 439 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,799 Well it was not that long ago. It was like a month ago 440 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:12,480 when every single norm associated with our court system was violated and Donald Trump was 441 00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:19,400 victimized by a renegade judge who just made a hash out of rule of law 442 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,759 in his courtroom in order to secure a quick and easy conviction with a Democrat 443 00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:28,640 jury, right yeah, And when people were like, gosh, he's violating 444 00:32:28,759 --> 00:32:31,759 due process rights to secure this quick and easy conviction in what is a show 445 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:36,240 trial. The evidence he's allowing is not you know, how it should be 446 00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:39,480 allowed, and what he's not allowing should be allowed, and the instructions to 447 00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:45,000 the jury are not appropriate, and there are like a thousand grounds for overturning 448 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,279 this conviction because of how this judge has mishandled rule of law in order to 449 00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:54,880 get this quick conviction in a show trial. And Joe Biden came out and 450 00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:01,039 said the worst thing in the world you could ever do is criticize a judge 451 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:08,559 in our legal system like that is disgusting and horrible. But when actually competent 452 00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:15,559 people, two justices accepting Sodama Or and Katanji Brown Jackson come out and say 453 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,920 here's how immunity is handled according to our constitutional system, he's like, we 454 00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:25,480 got to burn these mofos down. And like again, our corporate media, 455 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,720 who are nothing more than Democrat propagandists who carried the water when Joe Biden said 456 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:36,559 you're not allowed to criticize a corrupt judge, say you are allowed to run 457 00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:40,079 an insurrection against the Supreme Court and whip people up into a frenzy, even 458 00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:46,000 though your previous efforts have already led to assassination attempts against sitting justices. And 459 00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:50,960 again, this is why our corporate media are enemies of the American people. 460 00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:54,960 Like the one institution we have that works is the Supreme Court. And I'm 461 00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:00,200 not saying I agree with all their decisions. I don't, but the idea 462 00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:05,720 that like they Okay, sorry to keep going here, but do you remember 463 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,400 Jack Smith filed his indictment last August about J six. You had a great 464 00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:15,440 piece about it. That was about how this indictment was really about criminalizing speech. 465 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:22,480 So you have a out of control Biden DOJ that is criminalizing free speech 466 00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:29,559 in an effort to help their boss's political prospects and in order to deal with 467 00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:32,679 their hatred for one man and his people. So they violate all sorts of 468 00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:40,440 norms and they put an insane case out there, and so the Supreme Court 469 00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:44,519 ends up having to weigh in on something that they never should have had to 470 00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:49,679 weigh in on, Like we handled presidential immunity through hidden law really well for 471 00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,760 two hundred and fifty years, right, Like again, not how I love 472 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:59,679 it. Do I think FDR should have been held responsible for entering Japanese Americans? 473 00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:05,400 Yes? Do I think that Joe Biden. I'm sorry that Barack Obama 474 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:10,239 and Joe Biden's killing of American citizens in drone strikes was beyond the scope of 475 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,159 their office. I do. But like, I also see the problem with 476 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,159 removing any authority from the presidency and what a disaster that would be for the 477 00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:25,280 country. Okay, And so they clarify some stuff, they do it in 478 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,159 a really even handed way. They don't say that there's full immunity, and 479 00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:34,039 they don't say that there's no immunity. And these people are willing to like 480 00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:38,320 burn down the court over this very even handed decision. It's it's anything the 481 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,400 court does. First of all, the Court has not been reliably you know, 482 00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:46,079 quote unquote conservative. There have been decisions lately that a lot of conservatives 483 00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:50,039 didn't like. And yet the first time something doesn't go their way, they 484 00:35:50,039 --> 00:35:53,519 pretend like this is a bought court is completely corrupt, this and that, 485 00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:58,079 which is a lie. I saw someone some Democrats reet out, you can 486 00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:00,360 vote for Trump, then you're going to get more elite and Clarence Thomas is 487 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,400 a stuff. I'm like, this should be the ad for like trumpt critical 488 00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:08,519 Republicans to see because in fact is the most important thing. But the funny 489 00:36:08,559 --> 00:36:13,519 thing is this court has upheld separation of power in such a powerful way. 490 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,280 Chevron. Just recently they gave power back to the Congress that it's supposed to 491 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,239 have and not the executive branch. With Dobbs. They gave back power to 492 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,639 the people, which the courts shouldn't have. Like the idea that they don't 493 00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:30,719 care about separation of power is cuckoo, Like they just say. The truth 494 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,199 is it's all projection. They hate the court system, they hate unless it's 495 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,440 doing what they want. And Eddie Scarry has a great piece on this at 496 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,519 the Federalist on how like a New York Times podcast guy, I think it 497 00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:45,639 was Michael Barbara. Yeah, I figured out like that the Supreme Court decision 498 00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:51,360 is basically saying that you have to elect presidents and then deal with it, 499 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,760 and then if you don't like them, then you vote them out or you 500 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:59,000 like impeach them. And that is a very John Roberts style approach. And 501 00:36:59,039 --> 00:37:05,000 it's consistent with how with what he said when he Obamacare through his hearings, 502 00:37:05,199 --> 00:37:07,440 And I know, I know a lot of conservatives are frustrated with John Roberts 503 00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:10,480 and for good reason, but he does seem to always kind of like try 504 00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:17,599 to find the way that the system can fix itself basically, and essc he 505 00:37:17,679 --> 00:37:22,920 said people are responsible for who they vote forea in essence he said that with 506 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,960 Obamacare, he said, you have made the decision to you know, this 507 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:29,960 is a democratic decision. Now you have to live with the consequences of that. 508 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,239 And the remedy to deal with presidents who do things that are unconstitutional or 509 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,679 whatever is impeachment And the big problem here that we're not that a lot of 510 00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:42,480 people don't talk about, is that Congress has completely abdicated its responsibility and given 511 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,440 it to the executive branch. And now the presidents do way too much, 512 00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:50,079 we expect way too much of them, and like the court's trying to fix 513 00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,760 that in a very moderate way, I think, you know, in a 514 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:59,920 very incremental way. The Chevron decision basically said the unaccountable, unconstitutional fourth branch 515 00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:04,960 of government does not have immunity, and you're left is freaking out about the 516 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,639 administrative state not having absolute immunity, but then they're freaking out about an actual 517 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:15,679 constitutional office. Well, how about the SEC decision. It's just a banana 518 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,679 court where there's no due process for people. They're just accused by the government, 519 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,199 judged by the government. And that is the worst thing that you take 520 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:28,000 away for for liberals or even like what is a title whatever, where you 521 00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:31,480 just strip college students of all their due process rights, like democrat, it's 522 00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:36,800 just complete Calvin ball. Whatever they say democracy is is there's no rhyme or 523 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,679 reason to it. And I don't know. I hate to be a doomer, 524 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,639 but I don't know how you come back from this because it's getting worse 525 00:38:43,679 --> 00:38:47,559 and worse, and I just don't think the Democrats and many of their constituents 526 00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:52,280 care about the constitutional republic anymore. And I think it's going to fall apart. 527 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,000 So you can't have a country where people don't respect its laws. Everyone 528 00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:00,519 like Scalius once at every like two bits an or republic as a constitution. 529 00:39:00,679 --> 00:39:05,480 It's following it that matters. And if you don't and presidents ignore it, 530 00:39:05,559 --> 00:39:08,440 yeah, we're going to be We're gonna be a big trouble. Last thing 531 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:13,719 on this A lot of people are talking about will Biden survive or not? 532 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,719 What do you I'm not I don't like predicting these things either. I used 533 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,800 to think that Biden was no way going to bow out. I'm less sure 534 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,800 of that because there's a lot of pressure on him right now. So it 535 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:30,280 was interesting to see that what happened with the debate again, the vast majority 536 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:36,320 of Americans, Democrat and Republican, have been expressing concern about Biden's sanility for 537 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,840 a very long time. The idea that this is news to people is absurd. 538 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,400 What happened with the debate was that it made the media's job of carrying 539 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,519 water for the Democrats much more difficult. It's it made them feel embarrassed. 540 00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:57,079 Now, normally the only thing they're embarrassed by is the prospect of a Republican 541 00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:00,400 winning the presidency, particularly Donald Trump. That's usually the only thing that embarrasses 542 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,039 them. But in this case, they were like, this is actually embarrassing. 543 00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:07,960 It makes us look like the propagandists we are, and usually because of 544 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,800 our control of all the institutions, we can cover that up better. And 545 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:19,719 so they lost confidence in their ability to drag Joe Biden across the finish line. 546 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,960 They are the ones who are pushing for Biden's removal. You noticed that, 547 00:40:24,159 --> 00:40:30,760 particularly in the first couple days, there was unanimity among Democrats. They're 548 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,639 like, this is our guy, And I think that's because they realize the 549 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,440 problems with replacing him. Number One, you don't get to replace him from 550 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,480 the ticket without forcing him to step down, Like he either has to resign 551 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,000 or be twenty fifth amendmented. If he's not capable of running for president, 552 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:51,760 he's certainly not capable of being president. Like, if these issues are real, 553 00:40:52,039 --> 00:40:54,440 they are a much bigger problem with the office he currently holds than the 554 00:40:54,440 --> 00:41:00,880 one that he's running for, right, So the actual Democrats were like, 555 00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:05,039 well, that would be a mess to lose a president, you know, 556 00:41:05,079 --> 00:41:07,960 and then that would elevate Kamala and then we have to figure out who the 557 00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:09,840 VP is and that has to go through you know, Congress, and it's 558 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:15,719 like challenging and difficulty. And they also knew that the money raised has to 559 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:20,280 go to Kamala, so it's not like they can sideline her. And she's 560 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,079 of course got lower favorability than even Joe Biden, who's like it, historically 561 00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:27,760 low favorability ratings, and so they just kind of knew it was a mess. 562 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,920 And also it's like their whole campaign is supposedly about the importance of democracy, 563 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,000 and replacing the guy that the people voted for it is undemocratic. And 564 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,920 so it's the media we're pushing for it. But the media have a lot 565 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,920 of power. For one thing, they have a four years worth of stories 566 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:51,599 about Biden's embarrassing sanility that they can deploy to maximum effect because they're propagandists, 567 00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:55,880 and they have this information that they've maliciously withheld against the American people that they 568 00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,480 can now deploy to get rid of someone they view as a threat to their 569 00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:05,920 continued power, and that is very difficult to battle. I do think the 570 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,880 Biden team is just hoping to get through Independence Day, recalibrate, figure out 571 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,760 the actual situation, see what power they have, how they can control it. 572 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,639 And I don't know, I really don't know. I love that the 573 00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:23,360 top advisor in the White House right now is Hunter Biden. So men who 574 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:29,360 were told never talks business with Joe Biden, it turns out he's the one 575 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,880 you know. And the reporters are just openly writing, Hunter Biden is the 576 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,679 top advisor and he wants his dad to stay. They don't write, oh, 577 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,199 by the way, we claimed that they didn't have this kind of relationship 578 00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:46,440 for many years when conservative media was reporting about the troubling Biden family business interests 579 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,719 and corruption. And they don't say like, oh, Biden needs to stay 580 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,679 in power for Hunter Biden to have any hope of staying out of prison. 581 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,480 And they don't say, like, Joe Biden needs to stay in power for 582 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,840 the Biden family to have any hope of collecting more money. But they say 583 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,880 Hunter Biden's the top advisor. I think that's important. He's there because he 584 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,119 has a strong moral compass right and obviously as good at decision making, is 585 00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:15,000 a keen mind and all that. But also it makes me laugh because now 586 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,880 we have a convicted felon running the White House, so that's supposed to be 587 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,719 a very bad thing. Right, Oh, that's what I wanted to say, 588 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,079 So Biden, I'm just quickly. When he gave his little speech on 589 00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:28,599 immunity, he also said no one's above the law, which made me laugh 590 00:43:28,679 --> 00:43:31,679 out loud because his son got away with everything and he's getting weigh with a 591 00:43:31,679 --> 00:43:37,960 lot too. As far as here in China goes on that, I feel 592 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:45,199 like I'm going to go screaming crazy on live television the next time I hear 593 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:51,840 democrats say the immunity decision means that Donald Trump could persecute his political opponents using 594 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,039 his DOJ. Oh Oh, is that a bad thing? Is it a 595 00:43:55,079 --> 00:44:00,400 bad thing to use your DOJ to target your political opponents? Because if so, 596 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,119 there's a story as explosive as the one you've been, you know, 597 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:10,000 hiding about Biden's senility and like this idea that you can have Democrats all over 598 00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:15,599 the country using lawfair to target political opponents. At the same time, they 599 00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:20,280 claim that the biggest threat to the Republic is people using lawfair to target political 600 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:25,119 opponents. Is like, it's insane. Sorry, no, you're right. 601 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,159 I don't even I'm not a lawyer, but I read that decision and to 602 00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:32,719 me, it seems like it actually protects presidents from being, you know, 603 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:38,159 having a rogue some rogue die going after them. I mean, it's definitely 604 00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:44,119 going to make these convictions or whatever's coming in the lawfair stuff against Trump are 605 00:44:44,159 --> 00:44:49,159 more difficult as far as the presidency agree with you and Biden stepping aside. 606 00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:52,719 I think the logistics of it are actually quite difficult. People are going to 607 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,679 have to step aside. I don't know that. I'm sure people realize the 608 00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:00,039 people. You know that the presidents and politicians like Joe Biden massive egos. 609 00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:04,480 It's not that simple. Kamala is not popular. Everyone showed me, some 610 00:45:05,159 --> 00:45:08,159 people sent me this, these polls that Kamala actually is doing better against Trump. 611 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:14,760 They forget something. All the negatives of Trump already baked into those polls. 612 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,599 Kamala has not been targeted by a massive campaign and hundreds of millions of 613 00:45:17,639 --> 00:45:22,760 dollars. She has yet to really come under the kind of scrutiny that Donald 614 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,000 Trump has, or even Joe Biden. Moreover, what did she garner like 615 00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:29,559 two percent of the vote when she ran in the Democratic primary? She is 616 00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:31,639 not very popular even in her own party, So I don't know that that. 617 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,639 I like to say she got one percent more of the Democrat vote than 618 00:45:36,679 --> 00:45:43,719 I did. Yeah, and then of course there's like other candidates, they'll 619 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,599 say new some or someone. Are you telling me that the Democrats are going 620 00:45:45,639 --> 00:45:52,280 to push aside a black woman president vice president who literally to her job is 621 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,719 to step in for Joe Biden should he not be able to perform his duties 622 00:45:55,519 --> 00:45:59,400 and then run a white dude. It just seems unlikely to me, even 623 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,840 though Democrats are hypocrites. But I think I think they'll go with her if 624 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,880 they push him out. I mean, she'll be the president. What would 625 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,199 you do would you want if you were a Democrat? Do you think that's 626 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:12,159 the better route or do you think sticking with Biden's the better route? Because 627 00:46:12,159 --> 00:46:15,079 think about this every time now, every time there's a flub, a trip, 628 00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:21,280 an incoherent sentence, it becomes it's amplified in a way that wasn't even 629 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:22,519 before. You know what I mean, it's going to be a tough summer 630 00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:25,880 for him. I think what they might try to do is keep Biden as 631 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,519 president but replace him from the ticket, which they should not be allowed to 632 00:46:30,559 --> 00:46:37,840 do, and they will put Gretchen Whitmer in as the VP, and then 633 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:44,400 I think an all female ticket like could work or might not work. I 634 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,679 think Gretchen Whitmer's political prospects have been overvalued because she's always had like weak opponents. 635 00:46:50,199 --> 00:46:55,880 But I think that if you're running on killing babies and hysteria, that 636 00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,559 maybe you know female ticket is the way to go. I don't know. 637 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:07,599 I think they genuinely have a mess on their hands. And that's the whole 638 00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:10,800 thing. Like this just reeks of a mess, right, and that matters 639 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,920 too, Like there are a lot of unknowns that you don't know how the 640 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,079 electorate reacts to things for sure, right, so you're taking a chance every 641 00:47:19,079 --> 00:47:22,880 time you switch gears or go with someone new, Like, you know, 642 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,760 there are a lot of candidates, from Rudy Giuliani to many others. We 643 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,440 can mention that everyone thought we're going to be super popular and we're in, 644 00:47:28,559 --> 00:47:32,000 Like you don't really know, but we actually kind of do know that Kamala 645 00:47:32,039 --> 00:47:37,360 Harris is politically toxic. Yeah, well, that's because she's not good at 646 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,239 being a politician. I mean, the way she speaks is great. Imagine. 647 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,320 Oh sorry, No, that's it. She's learning how to be president 648 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:52,000 and she's so bad at VP and so bad at any kind of executive authority. 649 00:47:52,639 --> 00:47:55,639 And she's learning how to be president and dealing with the global unrest while 650 00:47:55,679 --> 00:48:00,440 also running for president. But we have some four months of Biden here. 651 00:48:00,519 --> 00:48:06,719 So did you know that Kamala Harris was tasked with the border and fixing the 652 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,960 border problem, Like that's going to be a problem. It's almost like feels 653 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:14,880 like Biden did that just to make sure that she wouldn't like under you undermine 654 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,280 him in some way. I don't know if he is even his conscious conscious. 655 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:23,039 You also think that every single person that aided and abetted this dangerous situation 656 00:48:23,159 --> 00:48:28,360 for the country should be punished, and I mean by that the entire Democrat 657 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:34,880 Party and their media. There needs to be accountability. Like none of them 658 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,360 can be trusted. They all lied, each and every one of them falsely 659 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:43,840 claimed, with that exception of that one guy who ran for president, Dean 660 00:48:44,039 --> 00:48:46,800 Phillips. Phillips, Yeah, and he was treated like he didn't exist. 661 00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:52,000 Every single one of them needs to be held accountable for their lives. How 662 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:59,079 many journalists were held accountable for the lies of the Russia collusion hoax? None? 663 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,679 Maybe in the begin there was that one CNN story with the Alpha Bank 664 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,000 or whatever it was called. You remember that story, and I think you 665 00:49:05,159 --> 00:49:07,039 fired that guy. But other than that, I don't think there's been any 666 00:49:07,159 --> 00:49:12,239 three people lost their job. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm just saying 667 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,559 now that happens every day, and literally they just go on with their lives 668 00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:20,960 like there's nothing, nothing wrong. All right, So that was fun. 669 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,960 Okay, it was a fun week. I hope next week's just as exciting. 670 00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:29,559 I love content. Was not, all right, So let's talk about 671 00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:31,559 culture. I know that you had a little bit of a cold last week, 672 00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:36,000 so maybe you didn't or maybe you weren't in bad watching TV. So 673 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:43,000 so sick that I was actually like sleeping most days after our podcast last week. 674 00:49:43,559 --> 00:49:45,599 But then I think by Saturday or so, I can't remember. I'm 675 00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:49,039 losing track of time, but I was like so sick, I was in 676 00:49:49,079 --> 00:49:52,159 bed, but I was able to be awake, and so I did watch 677 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:57,760 a couple of movies nice, and then I watched one with my kids earlier 678 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,960 this week. Okay, so the movies I watched in bed were The Russia 679 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,880 House. You love that, the soundtrack of that. I'm always looking for 680 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:07,480 you to find the vinyl for you. Thank you for that, David. 681 00:50:07,519 --> 00:50:12,920 And yes, I love the soundtrack to The Russia House. But I was 682 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,559 like, maybe I should just watch it again. And it is not a 683 00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:20,320 movie with like great reviews, I don't think, but I really like it. 684 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,000 I don't know why. And also I think, you know, it 685 00:50:23,039 --> 00:50:31,159 portrays the military industrial complex as being willing to screw people over in order to 686 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:38,159 keep the arms shipments coming, and that resonates with me. And then I 687 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:44,599 also just stayed on the Sean Connery bandwagon and watched rewatched The Name of the 688 00:50:44,679 --> 00:50:52,199 Rose, which, yeah, and I just like bleak, bleak movie, 689 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:59,280 right, It's very bleak, but it's like an interesting discussion of language and 690 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,719 semi autic. The book is excellent. Yeah, agreed, And then that 691 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:07,760 reminds me that I also rewatched The Judge, which I think is one of 692 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,639 the finest films of recent vintage. Is that with Robert Downey Junior or something 693 00:51:12,679 --> 00:51:19,239 and Robert Duvall And it's extremely well done, extremely well written, and it's 694 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,760 just a reminder that they used to make movies for people that weren't like Marvel 695 00:51:22,039 --> 00:51:25,239 movies. Okay, so sorry, I realized this is a ton of movies. 696 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:34,480 Then I also watched Titanic. Rewatched Titanic, which I have not seen 697 00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:37,480 since I saw in movie theaters, and I don't know what you feel about 698 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:44,880 this movie. I realize it's one of the world's favorite movies. I loathe 699 00:51:45,639 --> 00:51:50,440 everything about the movie except that it's kind of a good action flick. I've 700 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:55,119 never watched it and never will. It is so stupid. The storyline is 701 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,960 so, so, so stupid, and I do recognize, like, again, 702 00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:05,880 amazing set, amazing depiction of the sinking of the Titanic, but it 703 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,679 is like, it's like, uh, the plot is so stupid that if 704 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,280 you like it, it makes me kind of judge you. I realize that's 705 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,920 a horrible thing, and I'm now going to get really angry letters from all 706 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,719 of the world's Titanic deboutas, oh, it's so bad. Like other than 707 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,400 the first Terminator film, I think I hate old James Cameron movies like I 708 00:52:23,519 --> 00:52:30,519 hate those Avatar movies. Terrible. What about Aliens too with Sigourney Weaver that 709 00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:32,039 one. I think that one's pretty good. But then there was a he 710 00:52:32,119 --> 00:52:36,840 basically remade that movie where they is it called the Abyss maybe or something where 711 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,719 they go under water? Yep h I don't know. I just the whole 712 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,599 Titanic thing turned me off when it came out, and I'm like, I 713 00:52:43,679 --> 00:52:45,760 just made a note never to watch it. I just want to say. 714 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:51,599 Part of the plot is that they're looking for this like really amazing diamond called 715 00:52:51,639 --> 00:52:54,840 the Heart of the Sea that they know was on the Titanic and that they 716 00:52:54,920 --> 00:53:00,840 think was in this like one safe And then there's this subplot where this lady 717 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:04,119 is telling the story. This lady who had access to the Heart of the 718 00:53:04,159 --> 00:53:07,639 Diamond hard the Sea, you know, tells her story, and her story 719 00:53:07,679 --> 00:53:13,119 is that she was Kate Winslet and she was madly in love with Leo DiCaprio 720 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,280 and they had it who wouldn't be eighteen hour romance that caused them to make 721 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:22,199 very bad decisions with the sinking of the Titanic and the end of the movie. 722 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:27,199 And I'm sorry it's like spoiler alert, No, I mean I get 723 00:53:25,559 --> 00:53:31,000 the movie. She has this world's most valuable necklace, and instead of selling 724 00:53:31,039 --> 00:53:36,760 it and giving the money to charity, she drops that necklace into the North 725 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,320 Atlantic and it's like, this is is that supposed to be romantic or something? 726 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,119 I don't even know. It's so so stupid. I hate it. 727 00:53:45,199 --> 00:53:50,760 I love the I love the memes or whatever of the they like measure out 728 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,679 the door that Kate Winslet is on, and they're like, if she had 729 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,400 just moved over, like Leo, had plenty of room to just be on 730 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,079 it and survive. Is that you know? Do I have that right? 731 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,480 I do, But I was actually thinking about it the other night. I'm 732 00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,760 not sure that's true. I think if they were both on it would have 733 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,760 merged in a way, submerged to die. So stupid that you would. 734 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,119 But what did you watch? I hope it's much better than my epic. 735 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:19,480 I didn't watch. I had good friends over and I didn't watch a lot, 736 00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:22,480 but I did a lot of stuff. I did watch the Gene Wilder 737 00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:25,320 documentary on Netflix, and boy, I just liked that guy a lot and 738 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,880 it was just fun to watch. You know, he's dead, he just 739 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:35,519 seemed like such a nice man. And and mel Brooks is on talking about 740 00:54:35,559 --> 00:54:37,920 him, like mel Brooks is one hundred years old and his and I was 741 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:43,119 thinking about Biden because mel Brooks's mind is like sharp and he's still funny and 742 00:54:43,159 --> 00:54:45,760 he remembers everything. And I'm like, that's just amazing. I love it. 743 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,760 And then they were like, you know, you know when you get 744 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,039 older and you haven't seen actress for a long time in their famous roles, 745 00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:54,199 and when you do see it now that I am older, I'm like, 746 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:59,000 wow, they look so young like they they just showed like Anne Bancroft who 747 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,360 started her career with you Wilder, and she was just like this incredible beauty, 748 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:06,960 you know what I mean. And I don't know, I just it 749 00:55:07,079 --> 00:55:09,920 was a sentimental sort of thing. But yeah, so Jane Wilder was great. 750 00:55:10,559 --> 00:55:14,280 That's all I did. I went out. The only other thing they 751 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,599 did that was notable was I went out on a charter boat off of Virginia 752 00:55:16,639 --> 00:55:22,360 Beach to go fishing in the deep sea and I caught so I throw in 753 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,559 my line and I would just catch these little fish right like Croker. So 754 00:55:25,679 --> 00:55:29,920 after like ten minutes, I'm like, this is now just like a tap, 755 00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:31,639 Like this is not fun at all, Like it's just a task to 756 00:55:31,679 --> 00:55:34,719 remove him, throw him back. They're too little. So I did that 757 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,679 for like two hours. It was fun to be out in the ocean. 758 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,639 I love that I got a little the first time. Yeah, a day 759 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,840 fishing where you don't catch anything is still a great day. I love fishing. 760 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,440 I really am getting into it. Yeah, it's new for me sort 761 00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:49,800 of. That's all I did. I can't remember. I think I watched 762 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,960 other stuff, but I forgot to write it down. I don't wait. 763 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,599 There's another thing that I started watching, which is season three of The Bear. 764 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,199 Oh yeah, so I didn't get great reviews, like very slow moving, 765 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,599 they say, I don't know, so I was. I was telling 766 00:56:05,639 --> 00:56:07,519 Mark this because I think Mark is enjoying it, and I was like, 767 00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:13,719 I don't like this. I didn't like last season except for there's this character 768 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,480 Cousin who his name is Cousin, who had an amazing like development in the 769 00:56:17,519 --> 00:56:23,199 last season and that was good, oh so good. And I think he's 770 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:31,440 also like a ANTIFA supporting crazy lefty, but I just never just so he 771 00:56:32,119 --> 00:56:37,360 So the main character is this guy named Carmi who runs this restaurant and then 772 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:42,199 he has a sidekick and she also runs the restaurant, and they're both like 773 00:56:42,639 --> 00:56:45,280 kind of flat characters. They don't they're not very interesting, they don't have 774 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:49,079 a lot of development. And then like the one guy, all he does 775 00:56:49,199 --> 00:56:52,760 is yell and he's a very unsympathetic main character. So I just kind of 776 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:57,880 like and then also I feel like the people making the show are sniffing their 777 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,519 own flatulence, Like they just really are into how they're a great show, 778 00:57:00,599 --> 00:57:05,519 and to their credit, the first season really was pretty amazing, and so 779 00:57:05,599 --> 00:57:15,559 it's just like becoming esthetically too much and it's just overthinking and under creating. 780 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,239 I felt like that a bit last season. I love the first season. 781 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:23,360 I love love shows where that are sort of feel realistic, where someone's building 782 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:28,920 a business or you watch someone like really get great at a craft they love, 783 00:57:29,039 --> 00:57:30,079 you know, you know what I'm saying, Like stuff like that, 784 00:57:30,119 --> 00:57:34,599 and that show it's so much hard in that first season and I just don't 785 00:57:34,599 --> 00:57:37,239 think it's almost like they didn't expect to have a second season and they didn't 786 00:57:37,239 --> 00:57:39,199 know where to go with the show, right, And it's a reminder like 787 00:57:39,239 --> 00:57:42,400 the Brits always do a better job of this. It's like, Okay, 788 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,320 we had a good run. We're moving on to the project, and Americans 789 00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:51,320 are like, we're gonna We're going to squeeze every last possible dollar out of 790 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,360 this franchise before we let it go. So that reminds me. I was 791 00:57:54,440 --> 00:58:00,199 watching a guilty pleasure. I was watching the show called Suits, and the 792 00:58:00,239 --> 00:58:04,559 first season whatever was good, and I'm on like season nine, and I'm 793 00:58:04,599 --> 00:58:07,760 like, this show's been so terrible and so bad, but you just they 794 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,360 pull you in and you just want to see what happens to the characters. 795 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:15,119 So yeah, I'm embarrassed about that, but still you're good that I'm embarrassed. 796 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:20,000 All Right, Well, I'm gonna embarrass myself further next week. I 797 00:58:20,039 --> 00:58:22,079 hope you do too, And until that be lovers of freedom and anxious for 798 00:58:22,119 --> 00:58:29,480 the fray. Oh man, look at my life. I'm a lot like 799 00:58:29,719 --> 00:58:37,239 you. Oh man, look at my life. I'm a lot like you.
