1
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You're Wrong

2
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,760
with Molly Hemingway and David Harsani. Just a reminder, if

3
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,480
you would like to email the show, please do so

4
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:24,480
at radio at the Federalist dot com.

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,199
Speaker 2: We'd love to hear from you. Molly. How's it going.

6
00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:31,839
Speaker 3: It's going great, beautiful day here in Virginia.

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: Yes.

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,359
Speaker 1: I think we should start by talking about the Democratic

9
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:40,679
Party's presidential candidate, who have really not heard from in

10
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:45,000
any genuine way, not about policy, not about anything. She

11
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,600
continues to not given interviews. I think her first interview

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,520
as a presidential candidate will be given tomorrow on CNN,

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,159
a joint interview with her vice presidential candidate, Tim Walls,

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,960
which is weird, right.

15
00:01:01,759 --> 00:01:04,599
Speaker 3: That's weird. It's weird that it's pre taped. It's weird

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,079
that it's a special thing that a person running for

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,760
president isn't doing ten of these a day with real media,

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:19,359
but instead is doing one interview quarterly at best, with

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,280
friendly media who have competed and promised basically not to

20
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,519
answer any or ask any tough questions.

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: It's unprecedented.

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: This is worse, right than what Biden did in twenty

23
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,439
twenty at least he I mean, he'd be in his

24
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:36,840
at his home, but at least occasionally he did an interview, right,

25
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,200
and it wasn't always pretaped. I think I remember seeing

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,840
him on some of the networks just speaking contemporaneously.

27
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: He had some trouble, troubles as he did his interviews

28
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,439
from the basement. But yeah, it's actually much much worse

29
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,280
than what we saw with Joe Biden. And what we

30
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:54,599
saw with Joe Biden was very bad. You know, the

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,480
media ran his campaign, and they did it with at

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,519
least a pretense of presenting ideas to the American people.

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,599
This time, the media are running Kamala Harris's campaign, and

34
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:10,120
they understand that the more people see of her, the

35
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,639
less they like of her, and so they are all

36
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,080
working to protect her from being out in the public square,

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,680
from having to answer questions. They are handling her messaging.

38
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,520
I don't know if you saw. Tom Cotton was on

39
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,039
one of these propaganda press Sunday shows and the interviewer

40
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,159
just kept saying that she had changed her positions, and

41
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:33,000
he just called the bluff on it on the guy

42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,759
who's like, she has not She has not even spoken

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,240
about it.

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: John Carl was the interviewer.

45
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: So I went back to see how his reporting was

46
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,199
on Mitt Romney, who had changed his which flip flopped

47
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:45,639
on abortion.

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: Of course it was quite critical and you know, this.

49
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: Deep dive into how you know, his evolution on abortion

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,520
or you know whatever. But yeah, I mean she has

51
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,360
never explained. We talked about this, I think last week

52
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,759
or two weeks ago. She has never explained. First of all,

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,159
she's changed, supposedly changed her position on literally every major

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,919
issue other than abortion that exists in American politics. She

55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,560
took those positions running for president four years ago. These

56
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,639
aren't positions from you know, when she was a young person,

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,879
or you know, when she ran for senator. And she's

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,319
never explained. And I think people, and especially political candidates,

59
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:28,280
but all of us, should explain why we.

60
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,039
Speaker 2: Change our position.

61
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: So John Carl just takes a press release at its word.

62
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,159
How this is Kamala Harris is now a fictitious person.

63
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,759
The one that we see presented to us is not real.

64
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,039
She has no positions.

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,159
Speaker 3: It's not even a press release. Usually it's some low

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,599
level like Hill the Hill. You know, that's a media outletter.

67
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:57,159
Axio staffer claims that they spoke with Kamala Harris campaign

68
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:00,400
official who is not named, and that that person who's

69
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,800
not named claims that Kamala Harris has changed her position.

70
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Kamala Harris has not changed her position on a single thing.

71
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,800
She is one of the more consistent people out there.

72
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:15,000
The way she was as Attorney General of California very

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,279
anti free speech, anti First Amendment. The way she was

74
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,079
a senator very similar, The way she's been vice president

75
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:25,040
very similar. The things she said when she was running

76
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,600
for president all very similar to what she's always been.

77
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:32,480
The idea that she has suddenly become a right wing

78
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,399
Republican conservative is insane. And I mean, if it's true,

79
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,839
If it's true, she should probably do about one thousand

80
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,360
interviews a month to explain this dramatic change in position.

81
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,839
And otherwise people should treat it like the joke that

82
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,199
it is.

83
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: Well. And let's say she has changed her positions, which

84
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,319
I don't believe. What do we make of a candidate, the.

85
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,519
Speaker 1: Honesty or the prudence or whatever of a canon who

86
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,480
takes radical positions on free speech, on eliminating health private

87
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:10,199
health care insurance, on eliminating air travel and combustible engines,

88
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,439
who now changes her mind over four years time. It's

89
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:15,720
not a person that could be trusted at all on anything.

90
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,439
Speaker 3: Okay, but again, she hasn't changed her mind. No, she

91
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:20,920
has not changed her mind. Nobody should say she's changed

92
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,639
her mind because she hasn't changed her mind. Like, that's

93
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,480
just I don't see any reason to participate in that

94
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279
syop that is being run against the American people.

95
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: They just the other maybe two weeks ago, she backed

96
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,240
price controls on food, which is the one thing basically

97
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,920
every economist knows is a bad idea, and she walked

98
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,319
that back. So she's not even holding positions she had

99
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:45,399
two weeks ago and she didn't walk it back. Some

100
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,560
stafford did, I think, but.

101
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,199
Speaker 3: You know, someone who supports the Green New Deal is

102
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,319
the type of person who supports price controls.

103
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: How do you push back?

104
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: So what are Republican supposed to do when the entire

105
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:02,160
media simply accepts that she can be this fictitious person

106
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,240
this interview. I suspect it's going to be terrible, you know,

107
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:09,920
contrived kind of answers and all that.

108
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,639
Speaker 2: So I would okay, I have what can you do?

109
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, two different thoughts. One is about the importance of

110
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,399
just reporting real news and You can do that as

111
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:22,439
a media outlet. You can also do it as a campaign.

112
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,079
So the media outlets that are not completely compromised should

113
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:33,240
just be really aggressive in talking about her ideas, her

114
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:39,560
current position, how she is the incumbent in a failed presidency,

115
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,600
incumbent vice president in a failed presidency. They just like,

116
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,319
report the facts and do it because we're in an

117
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:50,759
environment where nobody else is doing it. The campaign can

118
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:53,879
just also show video of her articulating her positions on

119
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:57,879
all of these things and make sure people understand. I mean,

120
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,879
particularly if she doesn't come out and say these brand

121
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:05,720
new positions like she's supposedly suddenly for a border wall

122
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:08,680
or something like that. If she doesn't say that, if

123
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,879
she doesn't say I was wrong. I was wrong to

124
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:15,839
be so hateful toward Republicans when they were concerned about

125
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,639
our border. I was wrong to lie about the situation

126
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,399
on the border. And that's why I now understand that

127
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,560
Donald Trump was right, and so were his supporters. And

128
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:29,120
so I am coming to you humbly asking for forgiveness

129
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,319
and to give me a shot to implement his ideas.

130
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,800
That's the standard that she has to meet, and if

131
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
she's not meeting that standard. You just play all of

132
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,720
the things she said over and over and over again.

133
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:41,279
Like you said, they're not from twenty or fifty years ago,

134
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,920
they're from a few years ago. Sometimes they're from last month.

135
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,319
So just play it and get the message out there.

136
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:53,720
This is I have a second thing, though, yeah, which.

137
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:59,319
Speaker 1: Is, yeah, she wanted to she wanted to decriminalize illegal

138
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:02,040
board crossings. I just want to remind people she's on

139
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:05,480
the record. She said it. It wasn't in some fact

140
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:07,759
sheet or anything. She said it, I believe during a

141
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:09,839
debate or an interview, and I think it was actually

142
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:10,920
on one of the major networks.

143
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: Sorry, it was the twenty twenty debate, and she also

144
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:15,199
followed up with it and reiterated it. And I wouldn't

145
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,560
say she wanted to. She wants to. And here's a

146
00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:24,360
perfect example. If she had changed her mind truly in

147
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,720
any way on this topic. She has power right now,

148
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:31,399
as the country's borders are, to implement that change in

149
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:34,440
policy right now. And so it's a simple way to

150
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:39,600
test whether she whether these anonymous sources with anonymous titles

151
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:43,919
have this insight into some secret position she has, or

152
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,360
whether it's real. Well, no, because she would today shut

153
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,559
down the border. And again, she wouldn't just shut down

154
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,879
the border. She would say, I am so very sorry

155
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:59,399
for destroying the country by allowing in twelve million illegal immigrants,

156
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,559
doing nothing other than condemning people who thought that was

157
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,960
a problem. I mean, she she has to explain it,

158
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:11,600
and that explanation has to include a genuine apology and

159
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:14,080
contrition and repentance for like what she's done.

160
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: It's interesting you touched on it before that she's almost

161
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:21,399
running as if Donald Trump was the incumbent president and

162
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,279
the Biden administration not only never happened, but that she

163
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,840
was never part of it in any way. And then

164
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:30,120
there's this revisionist history, like with the borders are stuff.

165
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240
You remember the fact checks on people who claim she

166
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,240
was a border czar.

167
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,159
Speaker 2: Well, I saw.

168
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,879
Speaker 1: Also, we just had the anniversary of the murder of

169
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,360
thirteen US soldiers in the botched Afghanistan pull out, and

170
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,879
there are articles at the time saying that she had

171
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,360
such a big say in that policy and she had,

172
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,360
you know, she had the presidency ear and all that,

173
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,360
and now she pretends she had nothing to do with it.

174
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:54,360
I mean, I just don't understand how anyone can let

175
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:56,759
her get away with that. We're talking about thirteen lives there,

176
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:00,559
so it's important not to let them do that. But

177
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,600
it's so weird there. She not only pretends she wasn't

178
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,399
vice president I had no control, but that she they

179
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:08,039
pretend like the bi like the entire convention. I felt like,

180
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,679
do they know that Joe Biden's president? They have been

181
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,679
running the country since twenty twenty one.

182
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 3: So this is where the media are very powerful. They

183
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:20,720
can turn up the volume on things when they want

184
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,120
people to get hysterical, and then they turn down the

185
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,480
volume when they want things to be hidden. Obviously, and

186
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,960
so I think much much more needs to be done

187
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,679
by people who understand the problems posed by our corporate media.

188
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,919
And so what I want to say is we all

189
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:47,080
get happy when JD. Vance or Tom Cotton or anyone

190
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,639
with you know, Ron Johnson or anyone with like a

191
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,360
backbone goes on corporate media and says, oh, here's why

192
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,279
the here's where your question is wrong. You're actually asking

193
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:01,919
the one wrong question. Here's where this assumption that is

194
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,840
built into your question is wrong. And that's great. They

195
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:06,919
do a good job. I mean, I really think JD.

196
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,679
Vance does a great job. In part because he's so

197
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,320
informed and educated on the topics. But there is this

198
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:22,039
legitimacy that is given to these left wing media outlets ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN,

199
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:25,799
Washington Post, New York Times when you engage with them

200
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,120
in any way. And so I think that we had

201
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:34,799
this submission that might might be published later, but it

202
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:39,200
was about how Republicans should be very public about why

203
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,279
they no longer view the media as legitimate, the propaganda

204
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,840
press as legitimate, kind of maybe list out their reasons why.

205
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:50,720
And there are so so many. I mean, these people

206
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:54,120
are running information ops on behalf of the CIA against

207
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:56,399
the American people. They do not need to be taken

208
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,279
legitimately or seriously. So you say that, and then if

209
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,519
you go on, you actually use that time on air

210
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,000
to condemn the propaganda press and do it vociferously and

211
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,320
to explain in detail either you know why there's a

212
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,080
there's a Republican wide boycott of the press, or to

213
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,759
just do nothing but punch them in the face metaphorically.

214
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,159
And I think we're at a crisis point with our

215
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,279
propaganda press. They are destroying the country, and you've got

216
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:28,759
a bunch of Republicans who are like, oh, oh, CNN

217
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:31,639
asked me to be on. Well, this is exciting, and

218
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,960
it's embarrassing. Like they have no fortitude, they have no courage,

219
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,919
they have no like self respect. It's embarrassing.

220
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: I think it's good to go on and do exactly

221
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:43,200
what you said.

222
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to just treat them almost as

223
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,799
if they were in an opposite as if this was

224
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,080
some sort of opposition debate rather than an interview with you,

225
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,360
and call them out. For instance, I think when Tom

226
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:56,399
Cotton did what he did, there were probably a lot

227
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,639
of people watching this the first they heard of it,

228
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,039
you know.

229
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, But it's also true that when you treat them

230
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,799
as legitimate, they get to ride this wave of legitimacy

231
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,639
for a really long time, like overarching. When you look

232
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,279
at the work product of CNN and you have, I

233
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,039
don't know, six years of Russia collusion hoax versus Tom

234
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:18,639
Cotton fought back. I don't even know where he was.

235
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,559
It wasn't even CNN, But you know what I mean, Like,

236
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:25,080
one good response from one of the three good Republicans

237
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,000
on the issue is not sufficient to counter what they're

238
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:29,919
doing to the country.

239
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,039
Speaker 1: Every Republican needs to do it until they stop inviting

240
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,480
Republicans on because it's going to make them look bad.

241
00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:38,399
I mean, that's the only way to really do it.

242
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,120
I think it's worthwhile because if you get if you

243
00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:44,480
get on there and you let people know what's really

244
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,039
going on, there are probably a lot of independent people,

245
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:49,919
independent voters who think CNN's kind of in the middle

246
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,039
or something. Even though they even on Colbert Show they

247
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,480
laughed at that contention, but they might believe that. I

248
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:59,000
see it on an airports and elsewhere. I just it's

249
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:01,080
the best way I think counter it, or the only

250
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,960
way not to let them set narrative.

251
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,320

279
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:47,799
Speaker 3: There's this one thing about the way the media are

280
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:50,639
treating this race that I think is interesting too, which

281
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:56,159
is they don't feel an ethical problem with how they

282
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,240
are running Kamala Harris's campaign, or how they're lying about

283
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:02,919
her cur job, or how they are lying about her

284
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:09,360
what her positions are, because they view government as the

285
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,360
administrative state and a regime that controls things, and that

286
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:16,840
the president is a mere figurehead, right, so it doesn't

287
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,360
really matter if Kamala Harris is the figurehead or someone

288
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:23,679
else's the figurehead. They understand that permanent DC is built

289
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,720
to make things continue in the way they've been going

290
00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:30,159
for the people with power, and they like that because

291
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:32,960
they are people with power in part because Republicans give

292
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,840
them power. And the people who are Trump voters are

293
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,919
people who hold to the quaint notion that we are

294
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,879
a constitutional republic and that the person who's elected president

295
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,559
runs the executive branch and that he or she should

296
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:54,120
get to dictate what not a matter, gets to set policy,

297
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,960
and that we're a constitutional republic. And so what you're

298
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,559
seeing in the media roach is a perfect reflection of

299
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:04,839
those two systems that we're currently living under side by side.

300
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,799
There's the regimes system, which is not constitutional. This administrative

301
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:13,160
state and the media are a really key part of

302
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,839
the of that administrative state, particularly as it relates to

303
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,599
running syops against the American people on behalf of some

304
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,960
of the like you know, intel parts of that administrative state.

305
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,759
And then you've got the rest of the country that

306
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,799
again is more tied to the history of the republic,

307
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,880
that believes in free and fair elections and that you

308
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:37,160
elect people so that they will implement the policies that

309
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:37,759
you like.

310
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,799
Speaker 2: I think that's right in part.

311
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,519
Speaker 1: I also think many of them have convinced themselves that

312
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,759
allowing Donald Trump to be president is a attack on democracy,

313
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:51,000
so they are willing to do anything to stop that,

314
00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:55,240
including being completely corrupt. I think for many others who

315
00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:57,400
just care, you know, we're just thinking about themselves.

316
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,839
Speaker 2: There's a question of access.

317
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,799
Speaker 1: If you do not do if you do not participate

318
00:18:01,799 --> 00:18:04,000
in this sort of thing, you're not going to have access.

319
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: It's very clear.

320
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: And they want that to the admin administrative state and

321
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,440
other things. And but the gall I mean, I haven't

322
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,079
been paying a ton of attention this week. I've been off,

323
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,480
but I saw a story where they warned that Donald

324
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Trump's going to use the judicial the Justice Department to

325
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,119
take revenge on his political opponents. I mean, the gall

326
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:27,799
to write a story like that without even mentioning that

327
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,920
Donald Trump has gone through I don't know how many

328
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,680
trials now and how many prosecutions, very risible ones, rickety

329
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,599
cases just to punish him for running for president. It's insane,

330
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,640
it's it's it's it's the gall of these people.

331
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,559
Speaker 2: And I don't you know, I don't know.

332
00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:49,319
Speaker 3: So do you remember the first impeachment was done because

333
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:55,680
this guy, I think his name is Alexander Vinman, his

334
00:18:55,799 --> 00:18:58,279
brother's running for Congress, and their twin brothers and like

335
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:04,000
one of them just basically to destroy free speech in

336
00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:10,519
the United States. And that's a tangent. But Vinman listens

337
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,960
in on a phone call where Trump is talking to

338
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,960
Zelenski and is saying, I think you should look into

339
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,640
this corruption of the Biden family. And that led to

340
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,680
an impeachment, and we had in recent weeks, State Department

341
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:31,160
released information about how Hunter Biden had coruptly been lobbying

342
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,720
government officials when his dad was vice president. You know,

343
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,119
it's all my point, b it was all true. You know,

344
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:40,160
the Biden family was profiting off of Biden's proximity to

345
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,839
power through foreign oligarchs in ways that affected US policy.

346
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:49,720
And yes, now we have a situation where just yesterday

347
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,599
Jack Smith, the completely out of control prosecutor who's been

348
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,680
beclowned at the Supreme Court for being this hubristic guy

349
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,920
who just it shows no prudence in going after Donald

350
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,960
Trump on behalf of his boss Joe Biden. The Supreme

351
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,920
Court slapped him down and he refiles, re indicts the president,

352
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:16,400
the former president, just days before the election starts. And

353
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,319
that's actuallyante I don't want to go off on a

354
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:21,640
tangent here, but Donald Trump was saying that this was

355
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,039
in violation of DOJ policy. So DOJ policy is that, yeah,

356
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,599
sure you could totally meddle in American politics, but you

357
00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:31,599
shouldn't do it within sixty days of an election. And

358
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,119
so that set it in early September for most years,

359
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,440
because we used to have an election day that was

360
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:44,319
the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. But

361
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,920
now we no longer have an election day. That's just

362
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:52,119
one of about sixty days of voting in some places.

363
00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,400
And so that sets the DOJ policy of not within

364
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,640
sixty days an election back to sixty days prior to

365
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,799
what it used to be. And so Jack Smith is

366
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,039
just like completely in violation of this, the idea that

367
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,400
because a very small percentage of the population now votes

368
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,240
on election day, that's the arbitrary date we're gonna that,

369
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,400
we're gonna we're gonna say you can't do anything by then,

370
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:16,400
when in fact Democrats have their people voting as soon

371
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,079
as next week.

372
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,759
Speaker 1: Anyway, Okay, since you mentioned it, let's turn the table

373
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:25,160
to censorship and the Justice Department.

374
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: Facebook's what is he? The CEO Zuckerberg.

375
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: Sent a letter to the Justice who they sent it

376
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,279
to the Republican to the House Judiciary Committee, basically admitting

377
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:44,519
that the Biden administration had pressured him to censor not

378
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,920
only you know, alleged disinformation about COVID, but but you know,

379
00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:54,160
political satire and other issues which he apparently just gave

380
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,359
into and the staff gave into. Now, I just want

381
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,480
to say, I don't I blame him. He's a powerful person.

382
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:02,240
He's is you know and all that. However, it is

383
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:05,000
difficult to withstand the pressure of the United States government.

384
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:07,400
Because you're a rent seeking company, you need the government

385
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,519
to help you in certain ways.

386
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:10,559
Speaker 2: This is a big problem. I think. So when the

387
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,599
government comes to you and says, can you stop this?

388
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,599
It's dangerous, people are going to die.

389
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:20,039
Speaker 1: Whatever they told them Facebook, they did censor people Instagram

390
00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:23,440
maybe also, and on and on. So I think we

391
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,160
all knew this was going on, but it is a

392
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:30,599
bit mind blowing to see the at least from my perspective,

393
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,359
to see the turn. I think there's been a turn

394
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,799
where a lot of these companies believe that maybe it

395
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,640
wasn't the right thing to do, and it is a

396
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,640
kind of dangerous, and they do maybe I think, led

397
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,920
by Elon Musk, maybe care a little bit more about

398
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,559
free speech than they did before.

399
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:47,279
Speaker 2: What do you think I am?

400
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 3: I have conflicting thoughts. Okay, So there were three parts

401
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,519
of Mark Zuckerberg's letter. The first was admitting that there

402
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:57,839
had been widespread censorship related to how to handle the

403
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,680
COVID pandemic. That's a huge story in itself. The second

404
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:08,359
thing was that there had been a massive interference in

405
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:13,160
the twenty twenty election demanded by the FBI on behalf

406
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,720
of Biden, that Facebook participated in with suppression of the

407
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:20,119
story that we were just talking about the Biden family corruption.

408
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,160
And then The third thing was relating to the topic

409
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,880
of my best selling book, Rigged, about how we handle elections,

410
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,759
and it was him, you know, talking about how he

411
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,279
had funded the private takeover of government election offices. And

412
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:39,839
he says, you know, I did this in the name

413
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:41,960
of COVID. And that's true that he claimed it was

414
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,920
in the name of COVID. It's also true that only

415
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,519
one percent of the funds went to anything COVID related

416
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:50,200
and ninety nine percent went to partisan get out the

417
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:53,559
vote outreach. And he says, I'm convinced it wasn't done

418
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,319
in a partisan fashion, but I realized that other people

419
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,680
think it was, and so I will not even participate

420
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,079
in the elections this way or even give the appearance

421
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,839
of doing it. Now, election integrity advocates should not be

422
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,160
happy because other billionaires took over most of his operation,

423
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:12,599
and the US government has also gotten involved at a

424
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,440
much higher level in working to drive out the vote

425
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:20,039
on behalf of Democrat constituencies. But these are all three

426
00:24:20,519 --> 00:24:23,400
very interesting things. Now. First off, you say, I think

427
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,119
we knew about the COVID suppression, Well yes, And the

428
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Federalist is suing the State Department for its ongoing role

429
00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:36,400
in funding, marketing, and helping out the censorship industrial complex.

430
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,880
We at the Federalists have pushed back against various propaganda

431
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,119
operations throughout our history, but the one that hurt us

432
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:53,640
the most was not even disagreeing with government the government

433
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,960
response to the pandemic, although many of our authors did.

434
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,920
It was that we were even hosting bits about the

435
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,319
proper response to a pandemic. So if we said, okay,

436
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,559
so throughout human history, this is how we've handled pandemics,

437
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,119
and that has served us well relative to the US

438
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,720
government or state government shutting down churches that would get

439
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,759
us censored. And it got us censored on Facebook and

440
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,720
other social media at the request of the US government.

441
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,359
And it's it was a desire by this powerful regime

442
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,079
to put us out of business. I mean, the way

443
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,480
that we the way that we work is that we

444
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:35,559
get our message out and you sell ads and all this.

445
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:43,079
So censorship is a huge threat to self government and

446
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,720
a huge threat to the American Republic. And so yes,

447
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,720
it's good that he said this happened. He's actually kind

448
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,319
of said it happened before. But it's nowhere near sufficient

449
00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:54,680
to dealing with the problem because those tools they set

450
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:59,440
up to say, like, because Facebook censored us in twenty twenty,

451
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,680
still censored now, It's not like him admitting that he

452
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,119
did the marching orders of the US government takes away

453
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:10,720
that we are still censored. We are still censored.

454
00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

455
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,039
Speaker 1: Also, it should be said, and you've said this before,

456
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,880
even if what the Federalist or whoever is on Facebook,

457
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,559
or even just a guy on Facebook who's a nut

458
00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:27,319
is saying is conspiratorial and wrong, it still should not

459
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,839
be censored. This is the debate, This is the way

460
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,559
it works. But the funny thing is that most of

461
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:36,680
the supposed disinformation people were one hundred percent right. The

462
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:42,319
Wuhan lab you know, leak theory or whatever has proven

463
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,680
probably right compared to everything, and that was censored for

464
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:48,400
a year. You could not talk about that. The Hunter

465
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,079
Biden laptop story was proven right according to Hunter Biden

466
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,440
in court documents, and they were wrong. So this just

467
00:26:56,519 --> 00:27:00,200
shows you the danger of censoring people who seem like

468
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,400
they're crazy at the time to the elites and two

469
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,920
people run these places.

470
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:06,559
Speaker 2: Even if they were wrong.

471
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: So I just want to met you, really, I really

472
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,680
think that's an important point that you just said, because

473
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,839
you'll hear people say, oh, and the people who were

474
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,519
COVID skeptics were right or you know, skeptics about various

475
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:20,079
responses by the government. And yes, that's true, we were right.

476
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:23,039
But even if we were wrong, we should not have

477
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:27,079
been censored by the government and its agents as social

478
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:27,960
media companies.

479
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this brings up another point I think is

480
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:31,960
really important.

481
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,039
Speaker 4: Now.

482
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:35,079
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a debate even among conservatives about how to

483
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,039
how much government involvement do we need. Facebook's a private company.

484
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:45,640
I am very sympathetic to that point. Very However, if

485
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:48,680
Facebook can be pressured by government in this way, it's

486
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,759
basically fascism. I'm not saying that Zuckerberg is Hitler or

487
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:56,480
anything like that, but when government works with giant corporations

488
00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:01,279
to deliver political messages. To say, people, you're talking about

489
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:05,559
fascistic functions of government, that this is a definition of it.

490
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:08,559
Speaker 3: It's so weird when people use the term fascism correctly.

491
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:12,200
So thank you for correctly noting that fascism is this

492
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:15,559
blending of corporate and government power. And we could not

493
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,119
be in a more fascistic situation right now than what

494
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,799
you see with many social media companies and the government.

495
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,160
And this is the whole censorship industrial complex. It is government,

496
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:30,319
state and federal government agencies. It's NGOs that are usually

497
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,920
set up by the government or otherwise working closely in

498
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,920
tandem with them. It's for profit companies that make money

499
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,880
off of enforcing the government censorship protocols. And it's these

500
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,799
social media companies that are unable to resist or unwilling

501
00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:48,880
to resist government pressure, or maybe they're just so stacked

502
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,680
with Democrat activists that they think it's like a great

503
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,680
thing to be part of it. But I just wanted

504
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,160
to say something really quickly on the second aspect of

505
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,240
the Zuckerberg letter too. So he says that they he

506
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,400
says a bunch of stuff that's really interesting that in

507
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,200
a functioning republic would lead to people being in prison.

508
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,880
So he says, the situation with the violent suppression of

509
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,640
the Biden family corruption story is that the FBI came

510
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,880
to them months before the story broke and said that

511
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,000
there might be a story that will be Russian disinformation

512
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,039
of this nature. Now, the reason why that's important is

513
00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:29,720
because we know, and Margot Cleveland has reported on this

514
00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:34,559
at the Federalists, that the FBI had that laptop for

515
00:29:35,799 --> 00:29:39,279
a year before if not wait, I can't remember. I'm

516
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:42,400
forgetting the actual party. At least a year before it

517
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,160
came out, they knew the laptop was real. So when

518
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,000
they're briefing these social media companies to say there might

519
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:54,079
be this fake story, this Russian disinformation, they know it's

520
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:58,160
a lie. This is an egregious manipulation of the twenty

521
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,400
twenty election. I'll just point out all So, do you

522
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,880
remember that there was a tabletop exercise run by parts

523
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,480
of the censorship industrial complex and the Aspen Institute in

524
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:10,720
August of twenty twenty. And what was the topic of

525
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:16,359
the exercise. It was literally like, a laptop comes out

526
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,200
supposedly related to one of the candidates, but really it's

527
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:22,720
Russian disinformation. And then they had all these journalists and

528
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,599
all these social media types work together about how to

529
00:30:25,599 --> 00:30:28,599
suppress the story and censor it. And then a few

530
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,039
weeks later the story comes out and they all go

531
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:35,599
into action. Zuckerberg references this that they were basically mobilized

532
00:30:35,599 --> 00:30:38,720
and prepared for exactly this story. He's like, so we

533
00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:41,039
just thought when it happened that the thing that we'd

534
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:45,440
been coached by the US intelligence agencies was in fact

535
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:49,000
happening this is a massive scandal, and I'm not saying

536
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:51,599
we didn't already know that, but more people need to

537
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,200
think through the implications of this. And then there's one

538
00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:57,279
more thing he says about it, because when it happened,

539
00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:00,400
we did suppress that story and sent it over to

540
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:03,880
fact checkers, and so once the fact checkers looked into it,

541
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:07,720
we would unsuppress the story. Now the fact checkers are

542
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:12,000
people like what is it lead Stories, which is related

543
00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:16,839
to the Chinese Communist parties byte Edance group. They are

544
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,759
responsible for censoring US and other entities because they didn't

545
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:24,440
like our reporting on election issues. It's all these like

546
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:26,799
left wing groups and then they have I think they

547
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,160
pretend they have a right wing group. And I'm not

548
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,880
sure if they're still doing this, but I think they

549
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,000
are in isn't it the Dispatch.

550
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: I was, I'm not sure if they're still doing it.

551
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. And by the way, this is

552
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,000
a great way to make money. So if you go, huh,

553
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:43,119
how do these people do so well? Well, they're getting

554
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,000
paid by the regime to take part in the censorship

555
00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:49,359
industrial complex and they have no compunction about it. Obviously,

556
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,680
the Dispatch got in trouble when they falsely got a

557
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:59,799
pro life ad suppressed by miss reporting that ad or

558
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:03,039
it's meaning on by the Susan B Anthony List. Well

559
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:07,240
guess who didn't do any fact checking these regime stooge

560
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,519
media organizations, or if they did, they were like, Nope,

561
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:14,640
we're pretty sure it's Russian disinfo. These fifty one intel

562
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,480
experts say it was. And so it kept being suppressed

563
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,279
because that's how the whole censorship industrial complex works. And

564
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:25,480
then if there were people like us doing real reporting,

565
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,559
well we can't be taken seriously. We've already been suppressed

566
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:32,759
for reporting accurately about COVID. So the whole thing is,

567
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,400
it's not just a scam. It's like a scam that

568
00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:40,680
gets worse with time. And so thank you Mark Zuckerberg,

569
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,119
Yes for admitting that you did these really egregious acts

570
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,440
against the American people. But it in no way, in

571
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,079
no way is taking care of the problem.

572
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it should be said, and we could take

573
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,279
a step back and say, if we had a real

574
00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:00,400
journalistic if we journalistic institutions that were highly funded did

575
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,839
their job, that we wouldn't have to worry because they

576
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,920
would ferret out any kind of disinformation they would do

577
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,200
the work. Instead, they pass along the disinformation that works

578
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,200
for them and suppress what they don't like. So I

579
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,160
just want to stress the New York Times, the New

580
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,839
York Posts, not the New York Times. Your post story

581
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:21,680
on Hunter Biden's laptop was meticulously reported. They had someone

582
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,759
on the record, they had receipts, they did a forensic

583
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,839
check on the computer, there were pictures. It was not

584
00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:31,000
any kind of disinformation. It was pretty clear from the beginning.

585
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:35,839
I think it's one of the biggest journalistic scandals that

586
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:39,240
we've ever had or in modern times. I just I

587
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,480
can't think of another story that rises to this level. Now, yes,

588
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:47,880
the journalist knew about things that didn't report them to

589
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,559
help democrats in the past, things like that, but this

590
00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:53,400
was the suppression of a story that was reported by

591
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,880
other journalistic institutions, you know, quote unquote. So it was brutal,

592
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,640
and you know what, even though they're caught, I just

593
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,759
don't think it's the last of it.

594
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:05,559
Speaker 2: I've already seen stories that are talking.

595
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: About Russian disinformation and Russian involvement, you know. In me,

596
00:34:09,039 --> 00:34:10,960
I think AP had one. I mean, I think it's

597
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,679
it's going to happen they're going to try it again.

598
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,199
I hope people don't fall for it again, but you

599
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:21,880
never know. Let's turn the page. So this week OURFK

600
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:27,360
Junior suspended his campaign and he endorris Donald Trump, as

601
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:32,519
did his vice presidential candidate, I forget her name. It

602
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:33,320
was a big story.

603
00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

604
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:36,559
Speaker 1: Do you think it matters? What does it say about

605
00:34:36,599 --> 00:34:39,480
our politics today? I mean, I have I don't respect

606
00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:41,840
RFK Junior very much. I think he says a lot

607
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,679
of things that I agree with about censorship and things

608
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,360
like that, but he has taken a slew of insane positions.

609
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 2: Over his career. Are most of his supporters potentially Trump supporters?

610
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,199
Is it in the middle? What do you think?

611
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,079
Speaker 1: So?

612
00:34:58,199 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 3: I think it's really interesting that he dropped out of

613
00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:03,480
the race in states where it would hurt Trump, and

614
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:06,000
that he's staying in the race in states where will

615
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,199
help Trump, and that he endorsed Trump. I think that's

616
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,519
all super interesting. But mostly what I found interesting was

617
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:17,480
his speech. And I will admit that I like speeches,

618
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:19,719
you know, I like speeches that are good speeches, even

619
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,719
when they're from people I don't like, certainly when I

620
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,199
don't agree with everything that they say, is the case

621
00:35:25,199 --> 00:35:29,239
with RFK Junior. But this speech was so powerful and

622
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,760
so statesmen, like, there are these problems in the country

623
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,159
where it seems like we don't have any statesman on

624
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,719
either side of the aisle sometimes, and him talking about

625
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,880
these major problems that are affecting the country, you kind

626
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,519
of you could almost tell, you know, he has his

627
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,840
very particular ideas, which I think you and I do

628
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,440
not agree with some of them. And he said they

629
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,079
are less important than what's going on right now at

630
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:59,159
the hand of Democrats, and he listed, yes, the censorship

631
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,199
industrial complex. He used that phrase, and I just was

632
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,559
like so excited when he talked about well, actually, let's

633
00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:09,719
first of all talk about elections. So he talked about

634
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:14,119
how much effort was put to fight democracy and to

635
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,239
fight his role in the democratic process by the Democrat Party.

636
00:36:18,639 --> 00:36:21,760
So they worked really hard to keep him off ballots.

637
00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:25,559
He had these overwhelming difficulties in getting on the ballot.

638
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:27,960
He had an army of supporters who did put him

639
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,440
on the ballot, and they're having to fight these Democrat

640
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,519
election boards or Democrat secretaries of state or other Democrat

641
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:36,519
operatives to just get on the ballot. And I don't

642
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:39,400
care if you're a Republican die hard or Democrat die hard,

643
00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:45,199
if you're a good American, you should believe in in

644
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,639
the just like letting people compete in that marketplace for votes. Right.

645
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:54,400
So then once he gets on the ballot, there are

646
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,079
all these legal efforts to get him off the ballot.

647
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,239
And so he was talking about the law fair that

648
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,280
was used again him to keep him from being part

649
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,119
of the process. But then he also noted that the

650
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,079
media were the major players in this. He was talking

651
00:37:10,079 --> 00:37:12,840
about how Ross pro was a candidate for president for

652
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,239
just a few months and he was on every major

653
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,920
media outlet multiple times. I can't remember what the number was,

654
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,840
it was like thirty times he did interviews, major interviews,

655
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,119
and RFK Junior was not given any interviews except for

656
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:32,800
like one or two on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC,

657
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000
total like total. And that is the way that the

658
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:43,599
regime media controls outcomes, you know. So when Donald Trump

659
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,079
is president, they are When Donald Trump is running for president,

660
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,400
they tried to They tried to treat Evan McMuffin as

661
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,519
a legitimate candidate. He was elevated constantly by these same

662
00:37:54,519 --> 00:37:59,159
media outlets. But when RFK junior literal son of RFK

663
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,360
and nephew of JFK is running for president against a

664
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,360
completely weak guy. They're like, we don't see anything happening here,

665
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,519
and they don't give media coverage and they don't give

666
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:14,599
print coverage. And so he talked about their role in

667
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,599
manipulating election outcomes as well, and then he talked about

668
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:21,480
the law fair against President Trump, you know, remembering that

669
00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:24,880
they tried to take Donald Trump off of every ballot

670
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:29,880
in the country, this supposed party of democracy. And he

671
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,400
talks about the border, and he talks about the foreign

672
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,760
policy and how the way we're handling the situation in

673
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,880
Ukraine is making us weaker as a country about how

674
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:42,639
I mean, he said things that a lot of Republicans

675
00:38:42,679 --> 00:38:46,840
haven't even been able to communicate, such as how our

676
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,239
recklessness in foreign policy is leading other countries to form

677
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,280
coalitions that can pose a challenge to our role as

678
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,039
the reserve currency of the world. And so he's talking

679
00:38:58,039 --> 00:39:03,199
about bricks and how much we've narrowly avoided catastrophe in

680
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,320
the Russia Ukraine War. And it was so great to

681
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,920
hear him go through all of these things, and it

682
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:13,880
was you know, then he's kind of like, I don't

683
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,880
even like this guy, and I strongly oppose so many

684
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,320
of his policies, but it's an existential issue that we

685
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,960
stop Democrats with what they're doing here. And so that's

686
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,079
what I think is actually the most important part of

687
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:29,960
the speech. Isn't like how many of Rfk's supporters. I mean,

688
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,880
he does have supporters, a not insignificant number of supporters,

689
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:36,199
you know, not how are they going to vote? But

690
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,000
more like how it opened up. It was this powerful

691
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:43,280
person speaking through a web of lies and deception that

692
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,000
we're constantly dealing with by our corporate media and saying

693
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,360
they're trying to destroy the country and before we can

694
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,280
even fight about policy, we need to get back to

695
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,320
an actual functioning republic.

696
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a couple of things to say.

697
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: First, I I do think RFK Junior moving to Trump

698
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,800
probably I don't know how many, but it probably gives

699
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,159
some voters who I would call patriotic populists or something

700
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,599
like that, gives them permission maybe to vote for Trump.

701
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,000
I don't know how many that is. I don't know

702
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,360
if it matters, but I don't love But let me

703
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,360
finish the statement before you yell at me. I do

704
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,920
not love this idea that you can run in some

705
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,519
states to hurt candidates and not other states to give

706
00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:33,440
them a pass. But because of the law fair and

707
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:36,760
the Shenanigans that went on to take him off ballots

708
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,280
to help Joe Biden and then now Kamala Harris, I

709
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,280
think he has every right to react in that way.

710
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,480
I would like to see a good faith effort by

711
00:40:45,519 --> 00:40:47,719
candidates to go you know, I don't like this trick

712
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,280
of just getting on ballots to hurt certain candidates and

713
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,840
things like that. I think if you're running for president,

714
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,360
there should be a good faith effort to get on

715
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,599
all ballots, and then the states should let you on

716
00:40:55,679 --> 00:41:02,039
those ballots if you're running, you know. But what made

717
00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:05,320
me laugh so hard was the Kennedy family statement about

718
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,800
how Bobby endorsing Trump, you know, is a betrayal of

719
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,039
our family values.

720
00:41:10,159 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: Now listen, I would say that the.

721
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,559
Speaker 1: Kennedy family, I have very There are a bunch of

722
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:18,760
you know, there were so many sexual deviants in that family.

723
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,440
JFK was completely corrupt and irresponsible. Teddy Kennedy, we all

724
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,440
know that story. He's just a horrible person. I'm sorry.

725
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:29,400
RFK was also a pretty corrupt guy in the way

726
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:34,840
he treated government. So I think RFK endorsing Trump is

727
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,119
way on the bottom of the list of things that

728
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,519
sully the reputation of the Kennedy the Kennedy family, that

729
00:41:40,559 --> 00:41:44,559
lobottomized one of the sisters of granddad.

730
00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:47,559
Speaker 2: Right anyway, So I found.

731
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,679
Speaker 3: That I think I have thought about this. I have

732
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:56,880
very law abiding siblings. Okay, so this is a total hypothetical,

733
00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:01,039
but I would not denounce my brother even if he murdered.

734
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.

735
00:42:03,199 --> 00:42:06,679
Speaker 3: It's your job as a family. I mean, maybe you

736
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,519
don't say something publicly, maybe you do. But the idea

737
00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:14,599
that over politics you would denounce a family member, that's

738
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,639
just saying I'm a very bad person.

739
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: Listen, maybe if they were a Nazi or something, but

740
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:22,880
they're just endorsing the other major political candidate of the

741
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,079
other major republic, you know, the party in the country.

742
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:27,440
I mean, I would never do that to my family.

743
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,760
Sometimes I asked my wife if she would turn me

744
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,480
and if I murdered someone and stuff, and I think

745
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,440
she would, But I don't know if that I'd even

746
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,760
turn in my kids or my wife if they murdered someone.

747
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,679
Speaker 3: Oh, this does remind me that my mom told me

748
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,760
like in my twenties, she was like, if you ever

749
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:42,679
broke the law, I would go.

750
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:43,119
Speaker 2: Down to them.

751
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,599
Speaker 3: I'd go down to the jail and like police station

752
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,360
and tell them, like, Okay, thanks mom. That's what having

753
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,280
a German mom is like. So I was on Fox

754
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:58,079
News Sunday on Sunday and RFK Junior that he was

755
00:42:58,119 --> 00:43:02,039
doing his first interview after his endorsement. So he led

756
00:43:02,199 --> 00:43:05,719
the show and it was really interesting. I mean, I

757
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,480
don't no offense to the politicians in DC, but I

758
00:43:09,559 --> 00:43:13,920
normally don't find them very interesting to listen to. And

759
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:17,519
his interview it was riveting. In part two because I

760
00:43:17,559 --> 00:43:23,039
have never seen someone not take bait or not get

761
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:27,840
not get defensive. I guess as he did. Shannon Breem

762
00:43:28,159 --> 00:43:31,119
began by pointing out all these like horrible things he'd

763
00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:33,159
said about Trump, and I have a separate issue here.

764
00:43:33,199 --> 00:43:38,039
This is not like politicians always speak horribly about each other.

765
00:43:38,119 --> 00:43:40,000
I don't get why we only bring it up when

766
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:42,679
it's Trump, but that's a separate thing. So she brings

767
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,679
up all these things and I mean, he was like brutal.

768
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,239
It was like he's saying that Trump was a psychopath

769
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,440
or something, and he just like answers the question with

770
00:43:50,639 --> 00:43:53,519
a return to the focus of why he endorsed him

771
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,360
on these issues that I just talked about, that there

772
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,400
are certain things that are an existential threat to the

773
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,599
country and so personal feelings don't really matter. And it

774
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,360
was I like to think that I am good at

775
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:10,119
not getting defensive on TV, but I was like, this

776
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:12,800
isn't actually quite impressive. He was asked about his family

777
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,119
trashing him, and he did not in any way say

778
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,880
anything against his family. He pointed out that he comes

779
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,079
from a large family, that he has many family members

780
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:27,000
who are working on his campaign, and that he appreciates

781
00:44:27,119 --> 00:44:29,840
their support, and he also understands that not every family

782
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,280
member agrees. And he then again says, this is why

783
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,239
I'm doing what I'm doing, because I want to return

784
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,519
to a time in our country when we were able

785
00:44:38,559 --> 00:44:41,559
to have political disagreements without it being a betrayal, a

786
00:44:41,559 --> 00:44:46,000
family betrayal. It was just for people who were interested

787
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,639
in how to not get defensive. I thought he provided

788
00:44:49,639 --> 00:44:50,639
a masterclass in it.

789
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: Sort to point out that everyone, or quite often Trump

790
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,159
is portrayed as this person who like harbors anger and

791
00:44:57,199 --> 00:44:59,400
wants to get revenge on anyone who says anything bad

792
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,239
to him, and think for him if anyone is again,

793
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,400
you know, if anyone says anything critical about him, he

794
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,119
takes it very personally and attacks that person.

795
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,599
Speaker 2: But on the flip side, if you come back.

796
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 1: To him and you're nice to him and you support him,

797
00:45:13,679 --> 00:45:16,639
he will I think he easily forgets the past and

798
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,679
is willing to sort of embrace a person.

799
00:45:20,519 --> 00:45:22,119
Speaker 2: I think it's happened numerous times.

800
00:45:22,559 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean he's obviously petty and all that.

801
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:28,119
The thing that makes him different though, is that he

802
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,920
is very public with it. So most politicians in DC,

803
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:37,519
they are a billion times pettier and take offense at

804
00:45:37,559 --> 00:45:40,239
anything that people say, and they remember everything. They just

805
00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:42,960
keep it very quiet and stew on it and plot

806
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,239
the destruction of their opponent. And then they get like

807
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,519
a huge kick out of how aggressive drinking be.

808
00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 2: Trump comes up with a devastating nickname and he'll.

809
00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:52,159
Speaker 3: Just be like, you're stupid. You know, He'll be out

810
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:55,639
front with it. And I don't think either thing is great.

811
00:45:56,199 --> 00:45:58,599
I think it'll be great if we had more mature politicians.

812
00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:01,280
I just see no difference betwe between Trump and these

813
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,760
other guys except that Trump is a bit manly or

814
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,559
in how he handles it. And I mean by that

815
00:46:05,559 --> 00:46:12,039
that passive aggressive like plotting is really unmanly in my view.

816
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: All Right, that's it. I don't think I have any

817
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,519
more topics. Do you want to talk about culture?

818
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 3: Did you do anything fun this past weekend?

819
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 2: Yes? I did.

820
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,119
Speaker 1: I went to a concert in DC. I went to

821
00:46:27,159 --> 00:46:31,599
see So. It was kind of a band made up

822
00:46:31,639 --> 00:46:34,559
of other people from other bands. I mean so it

823
00:46:34,639 --> 00:46:38,400
was someone Mike Mills from Rim, someone from Wilco, Chris

824
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,880
Damie who's been around forever, a guy from the Posies,

825
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:45,239
and a guy from Big Star. And they played it's

826
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,960
the fiftieth anniversary of Big Stars Radio City album, which

827
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,760
I'm a big fan of. I went with a guy

828
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:51,760
named Mark Hemingway.

829
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 3: It was kind I normally go to concerts with.

830
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,119
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it.

831
00:46:58,119 --> 00:46:59,519
I've been to a concert in years.

832
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: They went through the Radio City album, then they came

833
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,079
back and played more Big Star. I'm a huge Big

834
00:47:05,079 --> 00:47:09,639
Star fan. I've been for many, many years, and it

835
00:47:09,679 --> 00:47:12,000
was I have to say one quick thing. The drummer's

836
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:16,239
name is Jodie Stevens. I think, and he was seventy two,

837
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,880
and he looked amazing and he was amazing, and it

838
00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:21,519
I'm like, I just I feel like I looked I

839
00:47:21,519 --> 00:47:23,639
look older than him, and I'm more tired than he

840
00:47:23,679 --> 00:47:26,920
has already. He's just banging those drums very powerfully, just

841
00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:27,960
very impressive and it.

842
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,679
Speaker 2: Was a lot of fun. So I did that.

843
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:34,119
Speaker 1: I got to see Molly and her beautiful family as well.

844
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 3: And it was Yeah, stay in our quote unquote guest room.

845
00:47:37,519 --> 00:47:39,440
Have you ever seen a nine year guest room?

846
00:47:39,519 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was quite nice. A lot of books

847
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,559
in there. Yeah, I appreciate it was very nice.

848
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 3: I like that you thought that it's books. It's like

849
00:47:47,519 --> 00:47:48,760
books and legos.

850
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: There were some toys there too. Just give something to someone,

851
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,440
your guests something to do in that room. No, I

852
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,199
appreciate it was very nice. I had a wonderful time

853
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,880
and it was a very nice weekend. Did you do anything?

854
00:48:02,639 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 2: Uh?

855
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,639
Speaker 3: No, I worked. And I did want to say that

856
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,559
I watched the Bad Monkey Show that you had recommended

857
00:48:12,639 --> 00:48:15,440
last week, and I've only watched two episodes, and it's

858
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:17,599
you had said every about it being like it's not

859
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,400
totally safe for kids, but it's pretty family friendly. I

860
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,039
did not find it to be that way.

861
00:48:22,199 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 2: That's an say, pretty family friendly.

862
00:48:24,159 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: I said it wasn't awful, But now that I've watched

863
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,920
four episodes, there will be other instances where you don't

864
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:30,960
want your kids watching.

865
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:34,519
Speaker 3: But I think we've talked before about people who just

866
00:48:34,599 --> 00:48:38,400
play themselves as actors, and Vince Vaughn is definitely sort

867
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,480
of playing himself. But I like who he is so too.

868
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,800
It works really well, and I like the other cast.

869
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,599
I find that the witch Doctor lady to be captivating.

870
00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's really good.

871
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: It's funny because I just I've been listening to this

872
00:48:53,039 --> 00:48:56,000
SmartLess podcast where they have famous people on it, and

873
00:48:56,199 --> 00:48:58,960
oftentimes they mentioned Vince Vaughn as just being the funniest

874
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,280
and quickest person in real life that they know, and

875
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,079
and it comes out they're like, when he's acting, you know,

876
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,000
it's just you never know where he's going to go.

877
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:09,960
You know, you just have to kind of stand back

878
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,559
and let him do his thing. And this show is

879
00:49:11,599 --> 00:49:15,239
just like super Vince. It's Uber Vince Vaughn. Right, it's

880
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:16,800
a pretty good show. I don't know, it's all right.

881
00:49:18,119 --> 00:49:23,000
I did watch a movie called Little Wicked Letters. Do

882
00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:23,760
you know what this is.

883
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,559
Speaker 2: No, it has.

884
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: It has Olivia Coleman in it. It's a British movie.

885
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,079
I don't know the other names of the other actors

886
00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:35,920
in it, but it.

887
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:36,599
Speaker 2: Was pretty good.

888
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: It's about It takes place I think after World War One.

889
00:49:40,599 --> 00:49:43,239
I forget where. Somewhere in Britain, but I forget where.

890
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,840
And it's about someone is sending out these horrible letters

891
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:51,280
filled with curses and all kinds of imagery to you know,

892
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,320
offending people, so they want to know who it is,

893
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,920
and it's sort of a little bit of a mystery.

894
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 2: I would recommend it.

895
00:49:56,679 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 3: Okay, good, that's good to know. I know exactly what

896
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,159
you're talking about.

897
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah again not probably not for the kids, unless you

898
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,239
don't mind them hearing bad words.

899
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 3: They never heard that in our house thing.

900
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: Yes, I know that. Then I watched Murders in the building.

901
00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:11,159
Is that what it's called?

902
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:16,079
Speaker 3: I watched only murders in the season four four?

903
00:50:16,199 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't something's missing. I don't love that show.

904
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,639
I think I don't really. Oh my gosh, I'm getting

905
00:50:22,639 --> 00:50:25,440
in trouble. But I don't really love Selena Gomez as

906
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,880
an actress, like I just she's kind of.

907
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 2: A millennial mumbler.

908
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 3: Or something time when they tried to change her into

909
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,480
a lesbian in that show. That was very stupid and annoying.

910
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:43,639
Other than that, I haven't like been so annoyed by it.

911
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: Also, I want you to know that season whatever of

912
00:50:50,559 --> 00:50:54,760
the Slow Horses is coming like next week. Oh good,

913
00:50:55,079 --> 00:50:56,199
both are fans of that show.

914
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was remembering while you were talking that I

915
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:01,360
did see two other things.

916
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:02,599
Speaker 2: Oh awesome.

917
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 3: So one was that we watched as a family Adventures

918
00:51:06,519 --> 00:51:11,840
in Babysitting, Yes, which is like an eighties show with

919
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:17,360
came up to visit our house. But we're doing a podcast.

920
00:51:18,039 --> 00:51:23,119
Speaker 1: But she shouldn't say, Yeah, it's not a show, it's

921
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:25,239
a movie. And it was with Elizabeth's.

922
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:27,559
Speaker 3: Shoe, and I liked it a lot. It was quite

923
00:51:27,679 --> 00:51:31,199
dramatic about how she is taking care of these kids

924
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,679
while they're narrowly escaping certain death in various ways, and

925
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:36,760
so that was pretty good.

926
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,599
Speaker 2: Although you did you did tell me it's not really

927
00:51:39,639 --> 00:51:40,360
family friendly.

928
00:51:40,559 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's it's supposed to be a family friendly show,

929
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,360
and like there's a major subplot dealing with how people

930
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,760
think Elizabeth's Shoe is the March Playmate of the Month.

931
00:51:50,519 --> 00:51:54,760
And then also how boys are sharing playboys and you

932
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,079
know it's fine, I guess, but it's just.

933
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,119
Speaker 2: It's very eighties thing.

934
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:04,639
Speaker 3: And then the other thing is I found this comedian

935
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,079
named I think her name is Laura Ramos.

936
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:09,199
Speaker 2: Laura Ramos, I can't remember.

937
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: I might have just totally butchered her name. But she

938
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:16,400
does impersonations of her German mother and they are hilarious.

939
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,679
She has a German mother and an Italian father, and

940
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,800
she does a lot of these like One Woman shows,

941
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,920
and she's on tour right now but it's sold out

942
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,920
in DC. But she does impersonations of her mother, and

943
00:52:28,039 --> 00:52:30,360
unless you have a German mother, I don't know if

944
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,480
it works. But I do have one of those. So

945
00:52:33,159 --> 00:52:40,199
I was really enjoying watching her lovingly portraying the stoic

946
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:44,480
and unaffectionate nature of a German mother.

947
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,679
Speaker 1: I don't have a German mother mother, but I that

948
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:50,880
sounds like something I would like.

949
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: I like when people make fun of Germans. Defense.

950
00:52:55,199 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 3: She also an ongoing stick she has is that her

951
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,000
mother's kind of obsessed with much Damon, and so she

952
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,360
really likes to watch movies with Matchew Damon.

953
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: Anyway, I just had to see it a Ben Affleck

954
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:09,960
and Jennifer Lopez got divorced.

955
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 2: Do you know who he's dating now? According to the tabloids,

956
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,960
RFK Junior's daughter. That's right, she has some crazy name.

957
00:53:17,519 --> 00:53:18,239
Forgot what it was.

958
00:53:18,679 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 3: It's not crazy.

959
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 2: Kick is not a crazy name.

960
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 3: Kick, certainly not by my standards. But also she's named

961
00:53:26,039 --> 00:53:29,559
after her aunt. Right, wasn't her aunt named Kick? I mean,

962
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,760
for all, her name isn't Kick. She goes by kick.

963
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,000
I think.

964
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I don't know anything.

965
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,159
Speaker 3: At my church we had this woman Kak Marshall, and

966
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,559
I'm sure it's like standing for her initials or something,

967
00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:43,760
but we always call her Cak.

968
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

969
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't mean to offend anyone whose name is Kick

970
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,039
out there, but maybe you can explain yourselves in the

971
00:53:49,039 --> 00:53:50,840
mail where you can mail us at radio at the

972
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,039
Federalist dot com. We got a lot of mail recently.

973
00:53:54,079 --> 00:53:55,360
Now I don't want to go through it all, but

974
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,679
I think it's because I've been mentioning it at the

975
00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:58,320
end of the show.

976
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been some really great mail. Also good for

977
00:54:01,559 --> 00:54:04,679
story ideas for the staff. So thank you, please.

978
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: Keep sending your mail, and until next time, be lovers.

979
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:15,039
Speaker 1: Of freedom, and anxious for the friend
