1
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You Were

2
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:21,199
Wrong with Molly Hemingway, editor in chief of the Federalist,

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,039
and David Harsani, a senior writer at The Washington Examiner.

4
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:26,359
Just as a reminder, if you'd like to email the show,

5
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:28,839
please do so at radio at the Federalist dot com.

6
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:32,799
We love to hear from you. Quite the debate last night, Molly.

7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,439
Speaker 2: That was a wonderful debate. I really mean that. Actually,

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,960
I felt like I got to know both candidates better.

9
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:43,119
And I do not mean by that that the moderators

10
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:46,719
should ever be allowed in public ever again. But I

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,280
enjoyed it.

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: Yes, we need to go through it. Yeah, I did

13
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:59,159
watch it. I would say that Tim Walls to me

14
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:02,520
clearly is he proved that he's just not very bright a guy.

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,920
I'm not saying I'm not saying this to mock him

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,239
or anything, but he's just not I don't think he's

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,519
capable of debating someone like JD. Vance. He just does

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,319
not have a command of the facts in the same way.

19
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:18,519
He's just not as smooth as you know. And part

20
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:21,719
of that is being nervous. I listen, I've spoken in public.

21
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,959
I get that you can be nervous, but I just

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,439
don't think he's on this level, Like I think he's

23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,719
a triple A guy playing in the majors.

24
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So I actually think that's the big takeaway and

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,840
it's very important to discuss. So I have a few

26
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:39,200
thoughts on this one. Did you notice that all the

27
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,879
people in the media were trying to lower expectations for

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,920
Tim Walls, which is a common thing to do, you know,

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,040
people tried to lower expectations for Kamala Harris and before

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640
her debate, but there was something about the way they

31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,920
were doing it that was so over the top that

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,400
it was clear that they really really wanted people to

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,400
have creators expectations, you know, like CNN said, CNN said,

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,319
he's super nervous, and he said that he's even more

35
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,159
nervous than when he told Kamala Harris he was a

36
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:14,280
bad debater before she picked him. I was like, oh,

37
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,719
sure he did. Meaning do you remember their very first

38
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,759
time together at a rally. He said that he couldn't

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,599
wait to debate jd Vance, who was so weird. He

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,479
said that is if he'll get up off this sofa

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,159
to do it, which referenced some like bizarre conspiracy theory

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,039
or that's actually it's just a lie that Democrats were

43
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,280
telling at that time. So he was so braggadocious at

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,039
the beginning. He could not have been more confident at

45
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:46,599
the beginning. That was like a big part of his appeal.

46
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:51,680
He's so masculin, supposedly, and he's gonna beat jd Vance

47
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:54,080
to a pulp. And then by the end CNN is saying,

48
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,000
we talked with ten of his closest friends and advisors

49
00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:00,560
and they say that he's terrified of letting Kamala down.

50
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:04,280
So it was like way more than normal expectations setting.

51
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: I remember them saying that he is good on TV,

52
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,960
he can speak to the working class men especially, and

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,639
so forth and so on. I mean that was part of,

54
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,280
supposedly the gut reaction that led Kamala to pick him

55
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:17,800
as VP.

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,439
Speaker 2: Condition And on the intelligence thing, I do think there

57
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:27,360
is a basic level of intelligence that you should have

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,240
in order to be president or vice president and to

59
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,240
be just completely straightforward. I don't think Kamala, Harris, and

60
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:38,639
Tim Walls have that level of intelligence. I'm not saying

61
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:41,879
like I'm a big fan of Barack Obama or Mitt

62
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:45,800
Romney or John McCain or George Bush, but they all

63
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:48,840
had enough intelligence to be president. You can disagree with

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,759
their politics, but you could see that they could synthesize information,

65
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:55,759
have a strategy, and execute on that strategy. The IQ

66
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,800
problems we're dealing with, or Kamala Harris and Tim Walls

67
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,360
are dangerous and threatening to the country. I want to

68
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,360
say that I saw this funny clip of a reporter

69
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,520
asking Donald Trump why he's so mean about Kamala Harrison.

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,919
Why does he insult her and call her stupid? He

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,400
was like, well, see, I actually do think you have

72
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:16,199
to be smart enough to be president, and I don't

73
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,240
think she is. It was such a straightforward, hilarious answer,

74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,360
and it was also like, that's actually true, she's not.

75
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:27,279
Or you know, you think Barack Obama picked someone who

76
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,519
was kind of goofy and dumb Joe Biden, and then

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,680
Joe Biden had to pick someone who wouldn't threaten his presidency.

78
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,000
It didn't work out. It's so great, but by picking

79
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,199
someone who nobody would want to be president, was kind

80
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,040
of goofy and dumb, and then that person she's had

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,839
one decision she's made this entire time since she's been

82
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,439
coordinated the presidential nominee, and she picked someone who wouldn't

83
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,000
make her look so bad by comparison. So that's why

84
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,439
she didn't pick Josh Shapiro. You would also say, because

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,000
he was Jewish is Jewish, and so we're just we're

86
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,199
getting to this idiocricy level with the candidates right now.

87
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:03,920
On the Democrat side.

88
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,439
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think we're living in any deocracy

89
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,079
in many ways. I will say this right off the bat.

90
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:11,040
I didn't like a lot of what Jdvans had to

91
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,439
say about economic stuff, but it is clear that he's

92
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,839
a serious person and that Tim Walls is not a

93
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,480
serious person. Tim Walls Hunt. We can talk about the

94
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,079
debate that JD. Vans had with the moderators in a moment,

95
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:26,160
but I mean, anyone who's telling and I've seen people

96
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,480
say this that this was some kind of draw that

97
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,720
Wallscott better as it went on, they're fooling themselves. Listen.

98
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:35,360
I don't think VP debates matter that much, but it

99
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,360
was pretty bad.

100
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: I think I want to fight you on that. Yeah,

101
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:40,879
just briefly. But can I first say I actually do

102
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,759
think there's something to the idea that Tim Walls improved

103
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,959
with over time in the debate. I mean to me,

104
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,399
his best answers were right at the end, like the

105
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,720
last two. The problem is his first answer was disqualifying.

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,199
You know, the questions about do you have what it

107
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,600
takes to have leadership on a global stage, and he

108
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:06,199
had a Biden like response. Do you remember in the

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,800
last Biden debate. Within thirty seconds, people realized, Oh, this

110
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:14,519
man can't be president anymore, and he certainly you can't

111
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,079
be less important issue, He can't be the nominee, and

112
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,800
so people freaked out. That was the quality of the

113
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:26,759
Tim Walls answer, whereas jd Vance, his first answers were

114
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:30,720
maybe the most perfect I've ever seen in a debate,

115
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:36,240
and under unbelievably difficult circumstances. Having said that, I do

116
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,959
feel like by the end of the debate jd Vance

117
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,040
was because of the strategy he'd chosen, which was not

118
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,439
a pugilistic one. He was leaving a lot on the table,

119
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,480
and Waltz had gotten a little less nervous, and so

120
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:53,079
he wasn't looking one hundred percent terrified. He was just

121
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,839
looking like forty percent terrified. So it was like an

122
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:59,759
increase for Waltz and a decrease. For so, maybe jade

123
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,360
Vans went from one hundred percent and he was a

124
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:02,879
hund one hundred percent for a while, then he kind

125
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,759
of drops off to seventy percent. Walt started out at

126
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,360
zero percent and maybe made it up to forty percent.

127
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,800
So there's still a disparity, but there was improvement.

128
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, they're definitely he had He was nervous

129
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,720
in the beginning. Clearly he got he lost, you know,

130
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,759
he got better in that regard. But I just don't

131
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,279
think many or any of his answers were very good.

132
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,160
When he was asked about his lying about team and

133
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:29,120
square and being there when it happened, Oh wow, the

134
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,600
answer game started out started out with the words, I

135
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:35,639
grew up in a small, rural Nebraska town of four

136
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,560
hundred people, like it had nothing to do. It was

137
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,399
an embarrassing answer. But more than that, I was taken

138
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:44,600
aback that they didn't ask him about his lying about

139
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,120
his rank, his lying about his deployment, his lying about IVF,

140
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,279
Like there were many other questions that could have been

141
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,920
rolled into that one, like why are you constantly lying? Right?

142
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,319
Speaker 2: That's to me more of a moderator thing, which will.

143
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought the moderators were worse than the ABC moderators.

144
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,399
I thought they were worse than the ABC moderators.

145
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,959
Speaker 2: I don't think they were in part because of what

146
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,879
you said that I wanted to fight you on, which

147
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,720
is VP debates don't matter. So there is a truth

148
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:15,759
to that. Presidential debates do matter. VP debates don't matter

149
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,639
nearly so much, and so even as bad as the

150
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,040
moderators were, it just didn't matter as much because the

151
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:23,600
stakes were lower. But I want to kind of make

152
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,439
a case for VP debates mattering in these really esoteric

153
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:31,439
kind of ways. Like I thought Mike Pence's performance in

154
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:37,240
twenty sixteen was stellar, And what I mean by that,

155
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,399
in part is that if you go back to where

156
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,200
that debate happened in twenty sixteen, it was after I

157
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,840
think the Access Hollywood stuff, and it was at a

158
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,120
very low point for whether or not Christian Conservatives, which

159
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,720
are a big important part of the Republican Party coalition,

160
00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:58,360
whether they could support someone like Trump who was so

161
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:03,440
personally morally deficient in the minds of a lot of people.

162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,440
I kind of think a lot of politicians are morally deficient,

163
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:12,000
and that his virtues were undervalued, but that was the moment.

164
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,399
And so you take Mike Pence, who's whatever else you

165
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:16,480
want to say about him. He's known as this big

166
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,039
evangelical Christian type, and he came out with hostile moderators

167
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,919
and made the case for how someone like him, why

168
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,759
someone like him would be supporting Donald Trump, And it

169
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,879
was really effective at helping other Christians see how they

170
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,840
kind of identified with Mike Pence and the way he

171
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:37,399
talked about supporting Trump was the way they started talking

172
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:39,240
about it. So I don't know if it shows up

173
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,159
in polls. I mean, Mike Pence, I think was widely

174
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,159
regarded as having won that debate against my Senator Tim Kaine,

175
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,200
which I think is funny because we all forget that

176
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,519
he ran for VP. But it was more in these

177
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,039
nebulous ways that it mattered. And likewise, I think what

178
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,799
happened last night is Jady Vance showed himself to be

179
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:04,600
an incredibly likable person. And this is going to make

180
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,279
no sense to the men listening or to you. He

181
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,840
actually appeared attractive for the very first time that I've witnessed.

182
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: Like I've always found him attractive. It's the beard.

183
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:22,759
Speaker 2: Well, I do like beards, but I've I've never thought,

184
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,120
you know, I just being attractive was not one of

185
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,320
the one of the things I would have said about him.

186
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,840
He had really good lighting, really good camera angles, appears

187
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:33,639
to have lost as someone said, all he did was

188
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,960
lose four pounds and now he's hot, you know, but

189
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:37,840
he didn't lose that much weight, but he's like lost

190
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:39,879
a little bit of weight. And he just had this

191
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:43,480
kind of confidence and manliness about him, and it was

192
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,759
really attractive. Also when he talked about it was like

193
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,799
paid leave for women or something. And the way he

194
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:55,559
talked about women as not being this block the way

195
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,759
democrats frequently talk about women, like women need this, And

196
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:00,519
he said, you know, some women want this and some

197
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,519
women want that. It showed, you know, it's like the

198
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:05,919
difference between showing and telling. It showed that he understood

199
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:09,360
that women are individuals that are valuable and that they

200
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,600
have different needs and desires. And it just came off

201
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,559
very attractive, and I don't know, it just made him.

202
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:21,159
He was just very likable. And he chose that approach

203
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,519
of not being you know, he can be someone who

204
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,720
could like eviscerate Tim Walls on a stage, and he

205
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:29,600
chose not to. He chose instead to be like the

206
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,440
guy who's nice, who women might like, and I think

207
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,919
it worked. It's why he left things on the table

208
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:37,000
toward the end of the debate. You know, you can't

209
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:39,679
you can't switch your approach midstream, and so he just

210
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,639
stayed with the I'm this, I'm not who you've been told,

211
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:45,720
I am kind of approached. But I thought it was

212
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,360
really effective.

213
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole he's weird thing, it was always

214
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:52,519
just anyone who had watched him for five minutes would

215
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,879
know it was just nonsense again, you know. I mean,

216
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,720
you can disagree with a guy on policy, but but

217
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,240
the idea that he's weird or not smart or any

218
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:05,039
of those things, it's ridiculous. But the thing with him

219
00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:08,720
also is obviously like he prepared for the debate. He

220
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,519
prepared for a lot of the questions. He knew they

221
00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:13,799
were coming, and very he had to sink smart to

222
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:17,480
the point answers and tim Walls was sometimes just incoherent,

223
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,080
you know, And I don't know if if it was

224
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,759
that he was nervous. Again, I just think he's playing

225
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:22,120
out of his league. I do want to say quickly

226
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,480
that I agree with you on the Pence debate I

227
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,639
think was super important at the time because for Donald Trump,

228
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,600
he has to convince some people that it's okay to

229
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,080
vote for him that they were going to you know

230
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,120
that if if you see someone who is more responsible

231
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,279
or more responsible is not the right word, but perhaps

232
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:43,440
more even keeled around him, I think that that maybe

233
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,200
gives you permission to vote for him. I'm not sure

234
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:51,039
that this debate holds the same, you know, the same importance,

235
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,320
but we'll see. There were some interesting things to talk about.

236
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:59,519
I think a great moment in this debate was when

237
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,480
Jade Evans got Tim Walls to admit that he doesn't

238
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,720
believe in free speech. Did you see that moment where

239
00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:08,720
he talked about yelling fire in a theater?

240
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: No?

241
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So jd Vance says, you said that you thought misinformation,

242
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,440
which is the left's term for information they don't like,

243
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:20,440
You said that the First Amendment didn't protect it, and

244
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,200
he was like, you're right, I did. And I also

245
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,200
don't think it protects hate speech, which is described which

246
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,600
is the left's way of talking about other information that

247
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:30,559
they don't like. Both of those things are horrifying to

248
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,120
think that in the First Amendment you're not protected from

249
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:35,759
saying things unless people like Tim Walls agree with what

250
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:36,279
you're saying.

251
00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: Well, can I just say ad a quick thing? Even

252
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,080
if it was actual hate speech, it would still be

253
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,159
protected by the constitution. There is no exception for hate

254
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,159
speech censorship in the Constitution. But yes, they use it

255
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,200
as a y euphemism for stuff they don't like. And

256
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,279
he brought up he brought up this case from nineteen

257
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,399
nineteen about a nineteenth about a pro anti war protester

258
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,960
being thrown in jail, and this analogy made by I

259
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,519
forgot which Supreme Court justice that you can't yell fire

260
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,159
in the theater, which was overturned by Blandenberg or whatever

261
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,159
in nineteen sixty nine.

262
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: I think it was ilicitly overturned or explicitly rejected. I

263
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,960
should say so.

264
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,279
Speaker 1: Shouldn't someone who is one breath away from the presidency

265
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:21,759
potentially know this? And shouldn't it be a massive story

266
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:27,080
that the vice the potential vice president of the United States,

267
00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:31,080
a governor of a state doesn't believe in free speech.

268
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,360
I mean, to me, that is like a huge story.

269
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,240
But anyway, it wasn't. I had another point I wanted

270
00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:40,360
to make. If we can move on unless you have

271
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,000
something to say on that. I saw a lot of

272
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:47,200
people attacking Vance, David Axelrod and others saying, does he

273
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,519
know that the vice president doesn't make policy? Like, does

274
00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:55,720
he know that the vice president? Listen, Joe Biden just

275
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:57,120
the other day on the View said that she was

276
00:14:57,159 --> 00:15:01,120
involved in every major decision he made. She talks about

277
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:04,240
her important role in the administration. She is running for

278
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:07,080
the presidency because she was a vice president. So you

279
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,120
can have it both ways. Now, either she has this

280
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,399
experience or she did nothing. I think you know, maybe

281
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,120
she did nothing. I don't know, But you can have

282
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:15,799
it both ways.

283
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:21,399
Speaker 3: With taxing the rich actually solve our problems. The Watchdout

helps unpack the connection between politics and the economy and

286
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,000
how it affects your wallet. All of America's five hundred

287
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:32,759
and fifty billionaires have a combined net worth of two

288
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,919
point five trillion dollars. Even if we tax them at

289
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,360
one hundred percent, we'd have enough money to fund the

290
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:41,200
government for eight months. Whether it's happening in DC or

291
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,159
down on Wall Street, it's affecting you financially.

292
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:43,759
Speaker 1: Be informed.

Markowski on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

295
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: She has done nothing to stop the Biden administration's bad policies,

296
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,679
but she's claimed credit for being in charge of policy.

297
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,440
Whether it's broadband policy here, border policy, or State Department

298
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,519
sorry space policy. There are all sorts of things she's

299
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,679
claimed that she was setting policy for, even if her

300
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,519
actual overseeing of those projects has been nothing short of

301
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,320
a disaster. But I just don't like it because it's

302
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,360
not true. There are two main issues I have a

303
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,720
problem with, and before I get to those, I'll say

304
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:25,679
David Oxelrod is saying this because the debate was such

305
00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:28,559
a disaster for Democrats, just needs to be said. They're

306
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,399
downplaying the role of vice president because they know Tim

307
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,480
Walls is so unimpressive that people can't imagine him in

308
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:39,279
the office of the presidency. Now we have had two

309
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:45,519
assassination attempts against Donald Trump, the presidential nominee, in the

310
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,559
course of two months. The idea that the vice president

311
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:51,480
doesn't matter at a time when Democrats are trying to

312
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,399
murder Donald Trump is insane. I mean, he might not

313
00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:59,080
make it too, he might not make it to November

314
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:01,720
if they have their way. DJ announced a bounty on

315
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:07,160
his head. Things are very fraught, and likewise something bad

316
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,400
could happen to Kamala Harris at which point people are

317
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,000
going to be voting for either jd Vance or Tim Walls, Right,

318
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,240
So it absolutely matters at times like this when they

319
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:20,759
are trying to kill President Trump. But it's not just

320
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,960
Kamala Harris being an important vice president or having a

321
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:26,839
role of setting policy. I mean, Mike Pence was in

322
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,720
charge of the COVID response. That was one of the

323
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,079
most important things in our country's history. I don't think

324
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:36,279
he did a particularly great job with it, but it

325
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:39,359
was an important role and he held that role. So

326
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,359
even on the idea of like, oh, vice presidents don't

327
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,720
handle policy well, the two most recent vice presidents did.

328
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,720
Joe Biden's claim to fame was that he had a

329
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:51,880
very robust vice presidency. I know all the things we've

330
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,480
heard about the vice presidency not being worth a bucket

331
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,039
of warm spit and all that, but it's not totally true.

332
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:01,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, just to go back to my comment, I'm

333
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:06,160
not saying that the vice presidency isn't important. We shouldn't care.

334
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,400
I'm saying that a lot of voters don't base their

335
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:12,640
vote on how a vice president doesn't the debate. That's

336
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,200
all I'm saying. I think a ton of I don't

337
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,279
think a ton of people change their minds. I do.

338
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,319
I do think it's important also to see this sort

339
00:18:20,319 --> 00:18:22,640
of thing, because, I mean, Jadvance might be running for

340
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,960
president at some point, and you know, maybe Tim Wallas

341
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,799
is going to run prepared. I don't know. So it's

342
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,200
important to know what they're about. And I think this

343
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,480
was a far more policy specific debate than the presidential debate,

344
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,000
where Kamala didn't even bother to answer a question.

345
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: I did feel like on that that jd Vance was

346
00:18:42,519 --> 00:18:45,319
had a higher IQ than the three other people on

347
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,519
the stage combined.

348
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,279
Speaker 1: Well, I thought that. I thought I thought that their

349
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:54,759
fact check was bad enough, especially because apparently the rules

350
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:58,599
were that they weren't going to do that. But we'll

351
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:01,039
talk about that in a second. But they are cutting

352
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:04,039
off the mic when being corrected, was completely out of

353
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:06,880
line and made them look terrible, made them look in

354
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,880
their tone, made them look like they were just in

355
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,079
the bag for Democrats, which they were. Every question is

356
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,200
framed in a way that democrat, you know, to stress

357
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,319
the democratic concern the questions themselves, climate changes, like the

358
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,920
second or third question, No one cares the note before

359
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,839
inflation before did they even ask a question about Russia

360
00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:30,640
and Ukraine? No, I don't even know. So, like, you know,

361
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,319
it's just idiotic to have these debates, not only because

362
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:35,799
of the bias, because I think jd Vance handled himself

363
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,599
very well, but rather that you're not talking about the

364
00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:44,039
things that most Americans actually care about enough. So I

365
00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:45,480
don't know. That's how I feel on it.

366
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the moderators because it really is.

367
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:57,279
It's a situation that cannot continue. There was the Lady

368
00:19:57,319 --> 00:20:00,359
in the Navy and the Lady in the Pink. Remind

369
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:06,319
me of their names, Margaret Brennan and Nora o'donnald.

370
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:07,799
Speaker 1: That's right, Nora o'donald, Right.

371
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so they This is such a petty thing to

372
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,680
talk about, but it really weirded me out. When I

373
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:17,920
first started doing TV. It was on this special show

374
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,720
that britt Hume was doing. I should say when I

375
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,640
first started doing Fox, I'd done a lot of CNN

376
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,799
and MSNBC, but I was really nervous in the presence

377
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:29,759
of brit Hume, such a great guy, and he had

378
00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:32,920
me on a show and I didn't know which camera

379
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,839
to look in. It was so disorienting and difficult. And

380
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,359
I remember at the end of the show and he

381
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,119
was said, you know, do you want to come back tomorrow?

382
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,279
And I was like, yeah, but I was I can't

383
00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:45,200
believe you want me back because I was horrible. And

384
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,599
he was like, oh, no, you really you need to

385
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,000
learn some TV skills. But I can teach you those,

386
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:52,559
I can't teach you how to think, and I need that,

387
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:55,680
so come back tomorrow. And so every night he would

388
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,480
tell me how to sit and which camera to look at,

389
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:02,640
and it was really wonderful. I cannot thank him enough

390
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,200
for this. But these two ladies have been in TV

391
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:10,119
for like thirty years, right, how could they not? How

392
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,519
did they not know which camera to look at constantly?

393
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,559
And even like the cameramen seem to be a little

394
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:18,759
off on where to do their shots. And then they

395
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:21,680
were tripping over what they were saying, as if they

396
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,960
didn't understand the questions. They felt like people who didn't

397
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:27,279
understand the questions that they were being told to ask,

398
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:31,480
which might have been part of the problem. And then

399
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:34,559
as you note the focus of the questions, the angle

400
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:37,480
of the questions, this is another like thing would be

401
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:41,440
Tim Walls, yes or no is two plus two four

402
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:44,200
and he'd say I grew up in Nebraska and he

403
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:50,119
wouldn't answer the question, and they'd say, thank you, jd Vance,

404
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:55,559
you're evil. Explain and then he would explain that he

405
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:57,680
wasn't evil, and they'd say, I don't understand what you're saying, like,

406
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,599
could you explain that? Again? So would say something completely

407
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:04,480
incoherent one hundred percent of the time, and they never

408
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:06,440
asked him to explain himself.

409
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: Jd.

410
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 2: Vance would say something that was perfectly coherent, perfectly articulated.

411
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,880
They'd be like, but what are you talking about? Where's

412
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,680
this idea that immigration might affect housing prices? As if

413
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,920
they'd not even taken econ one oh one in college.

414
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:25,000
You know, it was weird to see people that stupid

415
00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:27,039
being in a position of such power.

416
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: And so I just want to say, the ostensibly tough

417
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,200
questions they asked of and you alluded to this of

418
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,119
Tim Walls were more like there was a discrepancy in

419
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,839
something you said, not you're a liar, and can you

420
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,720
explain it please, like those are softballs that they assumed

421
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,720
he was prepared to answer, because everyone on earth should

422
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,079
have known. But I just want to say a lot

423
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,519
of people have said this, and I agree with it.

424
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:55,799
I think part of the problem for Kamala and for

425
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,960
Tim Wall's and other Democrats is that they're never asked

426
00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:00,920
tough questions. They don't know how to answer tough questions.

427
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,640
They are coddled, they are bubble wrapped, they never have interviews.

428
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,839
Speaker 2: I was thinking, okay, so take to take two examples.

429
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:11,519
Instead of asking Tim Walls about his pathological lying, whether

430
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:14,119
it's that he was that he blamed his dui on

431
00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:17,400
being deaf not which he wasn't, or not knowing the

432
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,960
circumstances of his children's conception or lying about it, or

433
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:25,119
lying about his military service, they asked instead about lying

434
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,759
about whether or not he was in Hong Kong during

435
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,759
Tianeman Square. It's kind of like a weird the nicest

436
00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:33,119
version of what they could have asked him, and he

437
00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:37,480
could not answer it because he's he had a reasonable

438
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:42,039
expectation that he wouldn't even be asked, whereas JD Vance

439
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,160
is asked like really brutal questions about how he didn't

440
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,960
always love Donald Trump. But it's like the moderators didn't

441
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:52,680
understand that when he ran for Senate in Ohio, a

442
00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:55,480
state that Trump won probably my like eight or ten points.

443
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,160
I have no idea what the actual margin was. That

444
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:00,839
meant that every single town hall he went to, of

445
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,680
which there were probably like two hundred, you had people

446
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,640
being like, I'd like to vote for you, but I

447
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,839
don't like the way that you treated Donald Trump. So

448
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,279
he was asked, he was answering that question over and

449
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,519
over and over again, not to mention with hostile media,

450
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:17,359
and so he was He gives this like beautifully articulated

451
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,240
answer to that, in part because he's got experience dealing

452
00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:23,799
with hostile media and people who disagree with him, and

453
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:24,839
he's not so cloistered.

454
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, if you're not embarrassed about your beliefs, it's

455
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:30,279
not hard to be asked tough questions because you have

456
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,799
answers for them if you're hiding those. So I think,

457
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,440
for instance, his worst answer in some not all of it,

458
00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:37,759
but part of it was on abortion, where he sort

459
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:40,240
of like backed away and he said democracy, I forget

460
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,799
what he said that. You know, politics basically compels me

461
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,880
to take this position or that position, but Tim Walls can't.

462
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,160
He lied completely about the abortion Billy had. He sounded

463
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,640
like a liar to me. And there was no fact check.

464
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,160
There is no follow up, there's nothing. He just lies.

465
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,200
And it is almost as if JD. Walls not just

466
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,039
has to debate him, but he needs to be the

467
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,680
JD vance needs to be the fact checker, you know,

468
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:08,599
in these debates.

469
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: Basically, of course, okay, so let's talk about the abortion thing,

470
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,799
but I don't want to forget the fact check issue.

471
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,960
So I also thought that, I mean, I was frustrated

472
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,160
by JD's approach on abortion, not completely, but mostly because

473
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,240
I'm pro life and I want someone to articulate a

474
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:28,640
strong pro life message and he didn't do that totally,

475
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,799
and just it was yeah, it seemed kind of weak,

476
00:25:32,839 --> 00:25:36,359
but it was also good in a way that he

477
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,160
focused on the extremism of the Democrat position. And Tim

478
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,599
Walls did sign into law this is, you know, just

479
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,079
to do the fact checker right now. Tim Walls signed

480
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:52,440
into law a bill that rescinded an obligation on doctors

481
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,039
to care for children who were born alive after abortion,

482
00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:58,319
and in the first year after that took place, there

483
00:25:58,319 --> 00:26:00,519
were records showing any thing. It was like eight eight

484
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:04,839
children survived and were left to die. And then they

485
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:07,079
just changed it so you don't. You no longer have

486
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,359
to report when you when you're allowing babies to die.

487
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,200
So that was something that if the moderators knew anything,

488
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,880
then they cared about being honest, then they would have

489
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,880
fact checked him on that. He claimed it wasn't true

490
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,960
that it allows abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.

491
00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:27,839
That's a that's a damned lie. That is a that

492
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,240
is a horrific lie. And I thought JD could have

493
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,559
pushed little harder on it. Again, he chose this different

494
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:36,480
approach which was not going to be like brutalizing his opponent.

495
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,240
But it's just frustrating with the fact checks on the

496
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,519
fact check angle. So they had a rule apparently that

497
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:46,039
they wouldn't do live quote unquote fact checks. I hate

498
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:48,519
to even call them that. They're not checking facts, they're

499
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:51,400
just doing Democrat propaganda one hundred percent of the time.

500
00:26:51,799 --> 00:26:55,960
So they had a rule. The Navy suit lady, I

501
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,200
think it was broke the rule on that by saying

502
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,480
that she wanted to point out that all of the

503
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:06,720
Haitians that have overtaken Springfield, Ohio are there legally, and

504
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,839
Jade Vance is like, okay, so since she broke the

505
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,200
rule on fact checking, I'm going to have to correct

506
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,359
you here because you said something you know incomplete here.

507
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,799
So he goes into how this is a gross abuse

508
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,799
of the law to allow like this one, that the

509
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:29,720
Biden Harris administration had exploited this you know, loophole type

510
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,559
thing to allow them to single handedly bring all of

511
00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:35,880
these tens of thousands of Haitians over to take over

512
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,240
this town. And they were so embarrassed by that they

513
00:27:39,319 --> 00:27:43,079
cut off his microphone. I liked how Biron York said,

514
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:45,200
was there something in the rules that said you had

515
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,319
to cut microphones? The moment anything got interesting, like why

516
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:52,039
would you do this? And then they did this really

517
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,359
condescending sort of passive, aggressive, very female thing of saying

518
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,240
thank you, thank you for saying what I said said

519
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,920
was right, or something like that, which came off for

520
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:09,720
horrifically bad. These women took womanhood down several notches, I

521
00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:11,920
felt last night, And can.

522
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:13,799
Speaker 1: We talk about that for a second. This martyred him

523
00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:17,559
that women engage in sometimes on TV or wherever with

524
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,599
the man's splaining or whatever it makes. I've never once

525
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,759
been offended as a man over something a woman does

526
00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:27,319
to a man. I assume they're individuals and the act

527
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,920
in certain ways. Does this resonate with women in general,

528
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,279
because to me it just seemed obnoxious. It also treats

529
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:38,880
women as a monolith, at which they aren't, And I

530
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,720
just this always completely escaped me. I thought he was respectful.

531
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:45,559
He just pushed back. He mentioned that what is it

532
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,960
the you know, this asylum seeking is basically a shortcut

533
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,640
for illegal immigrants to be in the country, and you know,

534
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,000
people I don't know, they're not illegal immigrants anymore technically,

535
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,440
but obviously there's a lot of context there that's important

536
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,119
when you're going to say that, And it just seemed

537
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:01,960
to me it was completely repeful. He's just explaining himself. Also,

538
00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:03,000
they fashed him.

539
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:09,519
Speaker 2: He is the nominee and is Tim Walls. These two ladies,

540
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,960
the one that had the demon eyes and the other lady,

541
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:17,519
they're not anything. They're just servants. Supposedly, they're supposed to

542
00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:20,319
be moderating the debate. They're not the star of the show,

543
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,960
although they tried to make themselves the star. They are

544
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,000
like the idea that they are owed some unbelievable deference

545
00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:33,200
by virtue of being Democrat propagandists is just insane. Like,

546
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,880
if anything, he was far too nice.

547
00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:42,799
Speaker 1: So Molly, let's talk about Hurricane Helene for a minute. Terrible,

548
00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:47,920
terrible pictures and videos from western North Carolina and elsewhere,

549
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,960
just horrifying, And obviously everything is about politics in some way.

550
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,839
I just want to quickly say, the government that we

551
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,079
have and the politicians we have involve themselves in speech,

552
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,319
in all kinds of things that are no know their

553
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:02,680
business in our personal lives, but when we need them

554
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:06,400
to help us with something serious, like a natural disaster,

555
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:10,720
they just completely suck at their jobs, you know, every time,

556
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,000
And this is part of why people don't trust the

557
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,920
government and why people are so mad. I don't know

558
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,839
if that's an overreaction, but I just seeing those people

559
00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:20,319
in the lack of action from the president and the

560
00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:22,799
Vice presient and so on, it was just I think heartbreaking.

561
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: It's actually like the entire regime too. I think I

562
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:31,400
was a little surprised. So this is a horrific hurricane

563
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,359
and one that I don't think people would have reasonably

564
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,160
been planning for that far inland. I mean, some of

565
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:46,079
these worst hit areas are in completely landlocked states and

566
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:52,480
in the far western part of North Carolina. And you know,

567
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,160
when there's like there's like a hurricane hits New York City,

568
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,359
it's major news for weeks and there's the planning for it.

569
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,200
Then there's the posts stuff. You know, it's just major news.

570
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:05,200
Or if there's a fire in New York City or anything.

571
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,200
When there are fires in Tennessee or Colorado that take

572
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,480
out entire towns, it just barely makes a blip on

573
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:15,720
the news. And I understand that that's because of the

574
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,400
New York DC focus of our media, but it seemed

575
00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:23,200
particularly bad this time. The death toll is currently I

576
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,519
think one hundred and sixty, with expectations that it will

577
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,960
go up. This is you know, this is a horrible

578
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,240
situation and there are a lot of people missing. There

579
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,079
are a lot of people who survived, but they are

580
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,880
unable to make it through roads to get healthcare or

581
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:44,720
groceries or for people to come check on them. People

582
00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:48,440
are without electricity, without safe drinking water. I mean, this

583
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,759
is a humanitarian crisis, and you just don't see it

584
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:55,519
being discussed that much on the news or in the papers,

585
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,279
or from the president of the country or the vice

586
00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:01,359
president the president. And it was at the beach, at

587
00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:05,279
his beach home the weekend after Helene hit and Kamala

588
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:07,680
Harris was on a fundraising tour. But even like Josh

589
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,000
Shapiro was doing fundraising in North Carolina with the governor

590
00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:15,279
of North Carolina or the person running to be the governor.

591
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,440
I mean, it's just like people, there are more important

592
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,559
things than sitting at the beach or raising money here.

593
00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:25,599
You should be as the president and vice president and

594
00:32:26,119 --> 00:32:28,240
state leaders or want to be state leaders, you should

595
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,079
be you should be just dropping everything to take care

596
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,279
of these people. And it seems like we have people

597
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:36,519
who are willing to drop everything to take care of

598
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,400
people in other countries, but they're not willing to do

599
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,119
it for their own citizens. And it's infuriating.

600
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, when there's a natural disaster like this, there

601
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:49,920
is going to be It's not solely the fault of

602
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,680
government that it's happening. Obviously, you know, there's some people.

603
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,880
It takes a while to rescue people, It takes a

604
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,960
while to get them all the things they need. But

605
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,279
when you looked at how flawed reacted to this where

606
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:04,359
there's good governance, and then North Carolina and the federal government,

607
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,319
it was obviously a huge disparity. So yeah, that's that's

608
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,359
just off putting. And I'm not saying I want Joe

609
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,759
Biden and a helicopter in the middle of this, but

610
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:16,559
it should be at the White House at least showing

611
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,519
some leadership, you know, pulling it together. I mean, I

612
00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:22,559
you know, it's just it's mind boggling that he'd be

613
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,480
sitting on a beach when this was happening.

614
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:29,359
Speaker 2: And again, do you remember so after Katrina, which was

615
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,759
one of these things where they said, if it hits

616
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:35,200
New Orleans, it's going to be a disaster, and everyone's like, yeah,

617
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,359
probably won't hit New Orleans. It hit New Orleans. It

618
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,880
was an absolute disaster, and you had corrupt state and

619
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,240
local government who weren't doing their jobs, and immediate immediately

620
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:52,000
blame like who wasn't Michael Brown of FEMA and George W. Bush.

621
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:55,559
They got mad that George W. Bush visited the disaster

622
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,920
area without getting out of his helicopter, even though that

623
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,319
would have been way too dangerous for all involved. Meanwhile,

624
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,400
here now with Helene not even like a mild request

625
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,119
that Biden pretend to be interested in the people who

626
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:13,840
lost their lives or the people who are suffering, and

627
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:16,880
it's just enraging to me.

628
00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:19,039
Speaker 1: I think, I think you're right that part of it

629
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:22,559
is the New York centric, DC centric press. But I

630
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:26,119
also think that it's right before presidential election and these

631
00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:28,039
sorts of things have a lot to do.

632
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: What was that one that hit right, Remember when Chris

633
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:34,079
Christy was out there waddling on a beach hugging Barack

634
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:37,639
Obama right before an election after a hurricane hit.

635
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:41,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm saying it's because the poor reaction from

636
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:44,880
the administration leads them to talk about it. Yeah, I

637
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,280
think that's part of it, you know. You know, obviously

638
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,840
Louisiana that was covered by everyone because it put George

639
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,000
Bush in a bad spot.

640
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,559
Speaker 2: I do want to say Ron DeSantis, who continues to

641
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:01,800
be the best governor in America, he had all this

642
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,159
preparation for the for the hurricane to hit Florida, and

643
00:35:05,199 --> 00:35:08,079
it did hit Florida, but not as badly as it

644
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:11,920
ends up hitting these inland states. And so as soon

645
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,920
as he gets everything fixed for Florida, which is in

646
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,599
a matter of hours and a day versus what most

647
00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:22,360
governments do, which is spend years trying to fix these things.

648
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,920
He sends people to North Carolina to help them out.

649
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:30,920
I mean, that's amazing leadership. It gives me chills just

650
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,199
thinking about it. It's so beautiful and wonderful. How competent

651
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,599
he is on those basic government services that nobody else

652
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:40,840
seems to be able to deploy. I want to say

653
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:46,519
something really quickly though, So the FCC, like on your

654
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:50,119
cell phone build there's some very small fee that you

655
00:35:50,159 --> 00:35:53,199
pay monthly that's like a dollar or two, and it

656
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,960
goes into this massive slush fund that the FCC uses

657
00:35:56,039 --> 00:35:59,320
to supposedly, you know, help out other people. And so

658
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:06,559
they have this huge fund for rural service. And in

659
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,920
twenty twenty, the FCC awarded Starlink an eight hundred and

660
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:17,320
eighty five point five million dollar award to provide Starlink

661
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,079
access to like all the rural parts of the of

662
00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:25,480
the entire country. And in twenty twenty two, Joe Biden

663
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:28,639
asked federal agencies to start going after Elon Musk and

664
00:36:28,639 --> 00:36:32,199
they all immediately complied, you know, the FTC, the SEC,

665
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,599
the DOJ, the Southern District, New York the Fish and

666
00:36:36,639 --> 00:36:41,039
Wildlife Service. Like everyone's going after him in multiple ways

667
00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:45,320
because of course Elon Musk bought Twitter and supports free speech,

668
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,400
and these are at odds with the Democrat Party, which

669
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,800
wants to control Twitter and violate free speech, so he

670
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:57,719
must be punished. The FCC cancels this award to Starlink

671
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,039
on the grounds that he can't act provide the service

672
00:37:01,079 --> 00:37:06,000
specifically in North Carolina, by the way, and they replace

673
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:09,440
it with nothing. And then there's this other government program

674
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,840
through the Commerce Department that is run by Kamala Harris. Incidentally,

675
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:18,519
that's an even larger program to provide broadband in rural areas,

676
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,679
and they specifically wrote the guidance to prevent satellite service.

677
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,079
So they're supposedly going to lay fiber optic cables in

678
00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:28,280
some of the most difficult parts of the country to

679
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,559
lay fiber optic cables.

680
00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: There's always three technologies behind the government, you know what

681
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,320
I mean, And it's yeah, it's.

682
00:37:34,159 --> 00:37:38,079
Speaker 2: Like an eighty five billion dollar program or something insane

683
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:41,320
like that. Forty five billion. I mean, it's all magical

684
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,679
numbers at that point. And that was implemented and she

685
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,679
was put in charge almost as soon as she became

686
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,679
vice president. And not a single American individual, family, or

687
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:56,320
business has in any way gotten broadband through this program,

688
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,880
this very expensive program, nor has any project even begun.

689
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:04,079
And I think it's like expected in a very polyannish

690
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:07,440
way to begin in twenty thirty or something like insane,

691
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,719
by which point the technology will be totally different.

692
00:38:10,519 --> 00:38:14,039
Speaker 1: So right after the California speed Rail is finished, I

693
00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:14,599
think that the.

694
00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: Broad and on budget. And so as soon as this

695
00:38:20,519 --> 00:38:27,360
disaster happened, private individuals started sending starlink kits to rural

696
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,440
North Carolina so that people could get in communication with

697
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,440
each other because they're just completely out of communication, which

698
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,679
is crazy because the cell phone towers are sketchy and

699
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,960
you know, the electricity is down. And so the technology

700
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,199
that the FCC said wouldn't work is what is actually

701
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,000
being used by so many private individuals. You had Elon

702
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:49,599
sending stuff, you had Donald Trump sending stuff, and you

703
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,639
even have the federal government bragging that they're sending a

704
00:38:52,639 --> 00:38:55,239
few dozen starlinks down there when it was, by the way,

705
00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:01,079
supposed to serve seventeen thousand houses and businesses in the

706
00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:06,639
original plan. But so their entire justification for punishing Elon

707
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,960
by canceling this contract because they said, oh, it wouldn't work,

708
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:12,920
is belied by the fact that all these federal agencies

709
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,840
are using starlink in all over the world. And I

710
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,000
just want to point out that when you're out of communications,

711
00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:21,519
it's a life and death matter. It's something you do

712
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,719
in wartime, you cut people off from communication. And this

713
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,960
was done by the FCC intentionally because of their hatred

714
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,400
for Elon Musk And it's just it's a horrific situation.

715
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,719
And the FCC basically has blood on its hands because

716
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,440
of its politically motivated cancellation of a comms project.

717
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,119
Speaker 1: There, So, last thing before culture just wanted to touch

718
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:53,880
on Israel's taking out of Nozraala the has Balah had

719
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,440
He basically created Hasbala. He was behind the killing of

720
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,639
two hundred whatever it was American marines and in Beirut

721
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,920
years ago, he was part of that, and Israel took

722
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,880
him out and took out a bunch of the leadership

723
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,880
in one of the most targeted military operations in the

724
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,119
history of mankind. Of course, all the Israel haters are

725
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,280
still calling you genocide and so forth. And then Iran

726
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,360
attacked Israel with one hundred and forty somethingter missiles and

727
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:25,559
of drones and ballistic missiles. A few people died. Thank

728
00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:28,079
god for the technology that started in the Reagan era

729
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:29,960
that all Democrats mocked Star Wars.

730
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:35,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a little surprised yesterday when the attack

731
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,920
on Israel happened, and there were all these people who

732
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,760
were like, has anything like this ever happened before? And

733
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,199
I'm like, sorry for saying like so much, and I'm thinking,

734
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,800
we just had this happened in April, right.

735
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mean this was more serious.

736
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,360
This was definitely more serious, but yeah.

737
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 2: I just worry that people are forgetting things that were

738
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,960
quite recent.

739
00:41:00,159 --> 00:41:03,599
Speaker 1: Well, it's shocking that the administration then said, I think

740
00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:05,760
Joe Biden said take the win to Israel, you know,

741
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,360
don't retaliate. Israel retaliated very limited to show them that

742
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,599
they could target TYRN if they felt like it, but

743
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:15,000
didn't do it. I think this time will be different.

744
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,880
A lot of these leftists say, well, it was a victory.

745
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,199
No one died or very few people died. That's not

746
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,000
how it works. They were trying to kill you. Someone's

747
00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:25,880
trying to kill you. It doesn't matter that they missed

748
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,280
and that you have defenses. Israel cannot allow themselves to

749
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,679
be constantly under attack. And I think they're going to

750
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,159
do something. I think it's going to be major and impressive.

751
00:41:35,639 --> 00:41:36,599
That's just my prediction.

752
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is this reminds me of one of

753
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,320
the worst questions from the vice president. Not one of

754
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,440
the worst. This was not even anywhere close to one

755
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,280
of the worst, but it just bothered me from last

756
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,199
night and the vice presidential debate. The pink Lady, vampire

757
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:54,639
eyed lady said Iran attacked Israel, but it failed, And

758
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:58,599
I thought, that's just a weird way to say it. Miraculously,

759
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,840
due to this great technological investment of missile defense, they

760
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,199
shoot down all the things that are directing, like coming

761
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,880
in on their heads. What if the goal of Iran

762
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:17,199
was to deplete that anti missile defense resource, you know, like,

763
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,559
how do we know what their exact objective was in

764
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:23,360
order to call it a failure even And also it's

765
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,960
just it's still a terrifying moment to be under fire

766
00:42:27,119 --> 00:42:27,320
like that.

767
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, not even I'm sorry, it's not even just that,

768
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,320
it's it's a way to see where the missile defense

769
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,440
is located. You know, there's a lot of intel you

770
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,039
can gain from an attack, so there are many other

771
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,440
more serious, you know, things to worry about as well. Yeah.

772
00:42:42,559 --> 00:42:44,199
Speaker 2: Sorry, So you think about how in April when they

773
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,679
did that attack, they started off with drones. Tho was

774
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,280
all got shot down, but it gave Israel much more

775
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,400
advanced warning of what was about to come, whereas this

776
00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:57,440
time they just went straight to the straight to the missiles. Now,

777
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,199
having said that, I get a little annoyed when people

778
00:43:01,199 --> 00:43:03,559
are like, well, there must be a response. The idea

779
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:05,639
should be that Israel needs to do whatever it needs

780
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:08,679
to do to protect itself, which may be a response.

781
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,440
It may not be a response, or it may be

782
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,880
something where like when you're least expecting it in six months,

783
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,159
there's a response. The idea that you just have to

784
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:20,079
retaliate immediately. That seems like an input rather than an output,

785
00:43:20,159 --> 00:43:21,719
like your goal you want.

786
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: You're one hundred percent right and Israel, I mean, listen,

787
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,679
we know that there are smart people there, you know,

788
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,920
whatever you think of Israel, and they're not just going

789
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,599
to bring a hammer. Now. They have planned for this,

790
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,440
They have planned for this retaliation. I don't know what

791
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,679
they're going to do, but I bet you it's going

792
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,280
to be somewhat surprising and it probably won't be what

793
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,880
Iran expects to happen. But they have to re establish

794
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,360
de terrence. You can't just have people firing missiles at you.

795
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,239
You have a three front war against you. That is

796
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,639
just and it's all Iran, by the way, which I

797
00:43:51,679 --> 00:43:54,800
just want to mention quickly, there has no geopolitical rational

798
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,000
reason to be enemies with Israel. None. It's completely driven

799
00:43:58,039 --> 00:44:02,199
by theology, this crazy ideology that they have there. There

800
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,119
is no reason. I saw someone I forgot who's saying

801
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:06,760
that Israel, you know, is never going to be able

802
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,119
to kill all its enemies is and that Israel is

803
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:12,199
a piece and partially because of the last administration, helped

804
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,119
forge that piece with the Sunni Arab nations and their

805
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,559
enemy is Iran. Iran is who funds Hamas, iranis who

806
00:44:19,599 --> 00:44:22,519
per funds his Bolah, and the Hutis, who incidentally are

807
00:44:22,519 --> 00:44:25,239
constantly firing missiles in America ships and we do nothing

808
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,360
about it. It is insanity to me. So once Iran

809
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,159
is finished, I think there's going to be a I'm

810
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:33,519
not saying this is gonna be complete peace in the

811
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:35,400
Middle East, but there's gonna be a lot more piece

812
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,039
in the Middle East.

813
00:44:37,159 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 2: And that reminds me of one thing I didn't like

814
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,639
about Netanyahu's speech before the UN. So he says something

815
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:47,880
about how they are surrounded on all sides by people

816
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:53,039
who seek their destruction, and clearly he's referring to Gaza

817
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,719
and the West Bank and his Bowl and Lebanon and Iran.

818
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,760
But I saw something where the Jordanian Foreign minister was like, like,

819
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,559
we're happy to be at peace with Israel, and I

820
00:45:04,599 --> 00:45:07,280
was thinking that Netnaho should have emphasized kind of what

821
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,280
you were just saying, there is a lot of peace

822
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,280
in that region that has been very hard fought and won,

823
00:45:13,039 --> 00:45:16,360
and you've even had some of these countries helping out

824
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,320
with the effort to go against Iran. And he should

825
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,360
have mentioned that more instead of just being like, we

826
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,719
are complete victims here of our entire neighbors.

827
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,559
Speaker 1: NATAGNAO and Israel deserve a lot of criticism for underestimating

828
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:33,360
Hamas and allowing that massacre to happen, But boy, they

829
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,840
did not underestimate Hezbala and they have not underestimated Iran.

830
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,480
And I think this is their time. They see this

831
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:42,280
as their window to take care of business. There's no

832
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,559
country on earth that would allow another nation to and

833
00:45:45,599 --> 00:45:47,320
it has ball is not even Lebanon, by the way,

834
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,920
it's just this independent group within Lebanon WoT missiles that

835
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,440
at civilians and fire them constantly at civilians. They killed

836
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,719
thirteen children on a soccer field not long ago. We

837
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,840
would never allow this to and know children by the way,

838
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,880
yeah Drew's children. Yeah, not even Jewish children, but still

839
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:11,559
citizens and it matters. So anyway, that's enough on that.

840
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,199
So you want to talk about culture, sure, can I

841
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,280
quickly mention that we asked last week we got into

842
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,599
a conversation at the very end of the podcast about

843
00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:27,639
conspiracy theories, and we said, please send us your conspiracy

844
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:30,639
theories or the one conspiracy theory that you do believe.

845
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,480
And I think maybe we've gotten more email on this

846
00:46:33,519 --> 00:46:35,960
than any other episode. Would you say that? That's right?

847
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,119
Speaker 2: I loved it and it's such interesting email, Like sometimes

848
00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:42,840
it was about a particular conspiracy theory. Sometimes it was

849
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,000
about the notion of conspiracy theories and whether that's an

850
00:46:46,039 --> 00:46:47,840
appropriate term to use or not. I mean, it was

851
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,280
just some people are such good writers and so interesting

852
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,400
and I loved reading it all.

853
00:46:54,599 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: So we have not forgotten about any of those emails.

854
00:46:57,599 --> 00:46:59,719
If you'd like to send more, please do at radio

855
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,320
at the Federalist dot com. You send us your conspiracy

856
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,639
theories or ideas about conspiracy theories. I think we're going

857
00:47:04,679 --> 00:47:07,159
to put them aside and then maybe have an episode

858
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:08,840
or part of an episode where we go through it

859
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,559
and discuss it. Yeah, because there was there were a

860
00:47:11,559 --> 00:47:14,440
lot of interesting things in there that I think are

861
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,199
worth talking about, and I think obviously people or listeners

862
00:47:17,199 --> 00:47:23,679
are interested. All right, So did you watch any movies? Music?

863
00:47:23,679 --> 00:47:24,719
What's going on with you?

864
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,639
Speaker 2: And I just do one. I have a little tiny

865
00:47:26,679 --> 00:47:28,920
thing that's still political that I just want to talk

866
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,280
about because it just occurred to me.

867
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: I will allow you see.

868
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: Did you see this story I think it's in the

869
00:47:33,039 --> 00:47:36,079
Daily Mail about how Doug m Hoff slapped one of

870
00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:38,800
his ex girlfriends in public because she was flirting with

871
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:39,400
another man.

872
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:40,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

873
00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 2: So I was recently talking to people who are friends

874
00:47:43,559 --> 00:47:47,760
or in the larger em Hoff friend group. Okay, and

875
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,400
this I don't think they intended this to be written

876
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,000
about or anything like this. And these people knew the

877
00:47:55,079 --> 00:47:58,280
m Hoff's fairly well and I mean by that dog,

878
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,960
his ex wife and their kids, and they were saying

879
00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:07,280
that they're just shocked at this persona that Doug has

880
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,559
adopted of being like a supportive male because he was

881
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:14,920
he had a reputation for being very toxic toward females.

882
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:20,039
That would include the teacher at the school that he impregnated,

883
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,559
but also all his other relationships as well his lack

884
00:48:23,559 --> 00:48:29,800
of fidelity, and that also they were saying that the

885
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:34,039
this is like in the larger friends set that Doug

886
00:48:34,119 --> 00:48:36,440
has just talked about how difficult it has been to

887
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:39,639
play the part that he's playing right now of being

888
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,519
this you know, Kamala devote and how he's felt like

889
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:47,119
his identity has been washed away. And I just thought

890
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:48,800
that was interesting. When the story came out, I was like,

891
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,039
this sounds very much like what they were talking about.

892
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I first detected what a fraud that guy was

893
00:48:56,599 --> 00:48:59,000
when he was talking about Jewish issues and speaking for

894
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:01,639
all the Jewish people and you know, and all of that.

895
00:49:02,199 --> 00:49:03,840
I don't know if this story is true. There's a

896
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,559
lot of evidence there in that Daily Mail piece, so

897
00:49:06,599 --> 00:49:10,599
it's not just some accusation. There's reporting there and it

898
00:49:10,639 --> 00:49:13,000
seems like something happened there. I just, you know, I

899
00:49:13,039 --> 00:49:14,400
just try to be careful when it comes to these

900
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:14,880
kind of things.

901
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:16,559
Speaker 2: I agree, but I just want to say there were

902
00:49:16,639 --> 00:49:19,440
three friends who were told on the night it happened.

903
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,519
So that's not like an egen Carol, like I'm going

904
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:25,880
to imagine something thirty years later and claim that it happened.

905
00:49:26,199 --> 00:49:28,159
And then also they had the picture of the woman

906
00:49:28,159 --> 00:49:32,119
who was slapped as sort of a go ahead and

907
00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:34,840
try and challenge this story.

908
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm not. This is a This is more

909
00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:42,320
better and deeper reported than any of the accusations against

910
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,280
for instance, Bred Kavanaugh.

911
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,159
Speaker 2: So like a billion times better.

912
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, not even close.

913
00:49:48,679 --> 00:49:49,639
Speaker 2: Sorry, that was not cultural.

914
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: No one will mention it though, right. It will not

915
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,079
be mentioned in the New York Times. It will not

916
00:49:53,119 --> 00:49:54,880
be mentioned on CNN. Do you think that they will

917
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,440
report any of this. I don't think so.

918
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,679
Speaker 2: No, But I was wondering also, like I do hope

919
00:50:00,679 --> 00:50:07,400
that he's not physically abusing his current wife. I don't

920
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,000
know abusers abuse. I'm just saying, okay, I did. I've

921
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,239
watched some stuff and I would like to talk about it.

922
00:50:14,639 --> 00:50:16,800
So first off, I want to say that I've stopped

923
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,679
watching Hacks, which was something that I stuck with for

924
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,840
multiple seasons. Do you know Hacks?

925
00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Smart.

926
00:50:25,159 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 2: But there's always been this problem in the show in

927
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,679
that there are two main characters, Jean's Smart and then

928
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,960
this like bisexual comedy writer who's so annoying and awful,

929
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:39,079
like every time she's in the scene, you're like, oh sad.

930
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,920
So her big thing is wokeism. And the episode that

931
00:50:43,119 --> 00:50:45,159
I was watching most recently, I just turned it off

932
00:50:45,159 --> 00:50:49,920
in the middle because it was so bad. She wants

933
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,599
Jeane Smart's character to apologize for comedy that she did

934
00:50:53,639 --> 00:50:56,960
in the seventies or something like that, and Jeane's like,

935
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,639
I'm not going to apologize. And then the part where

936
00:50:58,639 --> 00:50:59,960
I turned it off and I was like, I'm done

937
00:51:00,159 --> 00:51:04,480
forever is she's in a struggle session at Berkeley where

938
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,679
she says I was going to have some things to say,

939
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,360
but I think what I really need to do is

940
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,079
just be quiet and listen. And I'm like, this is stupid.

941
00:51:12,119 --> 00:51:15,920
It doesn't match your character. It's not funny, it's not interesting,

942
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,400
and it's like embracing the worst cultural Marxism. And I

943
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,519
was like, well, I'm out, so I'm done with that.

944
00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:24,559
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I think we. I meant,

945
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,119
like maybe two years ago I had brought up this show,

946
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:30,480
and it's as a example of how when you have

947
00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:34,000
these television shows or movies where there's one boomer, let's say,

948
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,079
and one woke you know, millennial or whatever, that they're

949
00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:39,800
both learning from each other and accepting it's really just

950
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,440
the boomer who always has to evolve and learn, never

951
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:48,119
the woke person never, and it's always just this insufferable lesson,

952
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,800
you know, in struggle session, exactly a struggle session for

953
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,039
you to watch. I don't know if any if this

954
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,800
who this is supposed to appeal to, I just don't.

955
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's not me. So I also watched a

956
00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:03,079
movie that I'm kind of surprised that I liked so much.

957
00:52:04,519 --> 00:52:07,360
It was Bye by Bertie I think from the would

958
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,440
that be the early.

959
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,559
Speaker 1: Sixties, I think, so, I'm going to look it up

960
00:52:11,599 --> 00:52:12,079
right now.

961
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: It stars Anne Margaret and Janet Lee. Have you seen

962
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:18,559
it right now?

963
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,599
Speaker 1: Maybe years ago? I don't remember anything about it now.

964
00:52:21,679 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 2: So it was clearly a play on Broadway before it

965
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,960
became yeah, before it became a film. Dick Van Dyke

966
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,199
is in it. There's some other people you don't it's

967
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,920
all Lynn's as Sullivan's. But it's a musical. I don't

968
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,079
like musicals, but Mark had suggested it for our family

969
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,280
movie night and it was I thought it was like

970
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,320
really oddly interesting, and I was captivated by Anne Margaret,

971
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,639
who incidentally I got to meet once because she's a

972
00:52:48,679 --> 00:52:52,280
fellow Missouri Sinnid Lutheran and she was getting it done.

973
00:52:52,639 --> 00:52:55,559
And she's not a young lady, I mean super hot,

974
00:52:55,639 --> 00:53:00,559
but in this movie she's like a revelation. Oh my gosh,

975
00:53:00,639 --> 00:53:03,960
so so hot and so interesting and like full of

976
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,880
life and just great.

977
00:53:06,039 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: And you have you ever seen the skit with Kristin

978
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:12,679
Wig playing and Margaret no so where where so whatever

979
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,519
they ask her to do, like can you throw away

980
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:17,039
this paper, she'll do like this dance number she like

981
00:53:17,039 --> 00:53:19,400
like looks at the camera and so it's like, you know,

982
00:53:19,599 --> 00:53:22,400
doing that type of dancing she does. It's very funny

983
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,320
if you can look it up.

984
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,639
Speaker 2: On YouTube, and it's like the whole I'm sure everybody's

985
00:53:26,639 --> 00:53:28,519
seen it but me, so Bye by Bird. It's about

986
00:53:28,519 --> 00:53:30,719
an Elvis like character when he's going off to war

987
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,599
and how it affects you know, but it's sort of

988
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:36,920
also about family dynamics and those baby boomer kids and

989
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,039
how out of control they are and blah blah blah.

990
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:40,960
I really liked it.

991
00:53:42,119 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: Cool.

992
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,079
Speaker 2: And then I have one more, which is that I

993
00:53:46,159 --> 00:53:51,079
started watching while I'm rowing this TV show with Kristin

994
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,199
Bell and I forget the name of the guy, and

995
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:58,320
it's called No One Wants This and a rabbi yes,

996
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:00,519
And I am shocked at how much I'm enjoying it.

997
00:54:00,559 --> 00:54:04,079
I will warn everybody it's raunchy and there's like lots

998
00:54:04,119 --> 00:54:11,199
of premarital premarital looking at each other. But it's really

999
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:18,440
well written and interesting and I'm I'm a fan. I

1000
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,079
was hoping to watched it too, so.

1001
00:54:21,679 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: I probably won't.

1002
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to try Nobody Wants This?

1003
00:54:26,039 --> 00:54:30,519
Speaker 1: Sorry, Yeah, reminds me just from the trailer. Reminds me

1004
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,400
of a movie from the nineties where Ed Norton was

1005
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,840
a priest and Ben Steeler was a rabbi and they

1006
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,880
were vying for the affections of a woman. But I

1007
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,800
forget who it was, I forget the name of the movie.

1008
00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 2: I think part of the reason why I like it.

1009
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,280
I'm sure it's going to end up with something super disappointing.

1010
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:52,000
But as a Lutheran and having parents were converts. My

1011
00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:54,920
dad's a convert to Christianity. The most important part of

1012
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,840
my identity is being Lutheran. And from a young age,

1013
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,440
we my brother, ma, sister, and I all understood that

1014
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,559
our lives would involve like if we're married, we're marrying

1015
00:55:05,599 --> 00:55:08,960
a Lutheran, and each one of us married people who

1016
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,440
are converts to Christianity or basic or like yeah, and

1017
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:18,119
so it was not an easy path to find our spouses,

1018
00:55:18,639 --> 00:55:22,599
and there were some struggles along the way. And also

1019
00:55:22,679 --> 00:55:24,119
like one of the people that I always felt the

1020
00:55:24,159 --> 00:55:29,119
most compatible with was was this Jewish guy who wouldn't

1021
00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:31,840
marry me or he like broke things off because I

1022
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,320
wasn't Jewish, you know. So I just find it for

1023
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,679
people who for whom religion is very important, and also

1024
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,440
dealing with the struggles of dating and finding someone who

1025
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:41,440
you're compatible with.

1026
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: It's just spoke to me, Well, I don't know what

1027
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,480
this movie is about. I haven't seen it. I mean,

1028
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,960
I know it's about TV show. The idea, the very

1029
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,079
idea that any rabbi or real rabbi would date a

1030
00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:56,440
woman who is in Jewish a shiksa is.

1031
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: He's not a real rabbi, Like he's in one of

1032
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,960
those like barely Jewish situation.

1033
00:55:59,079 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I feel. So yeah, all right, maybe

1034
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:04,840
I'll give it a shot.

1035
00:56:05,639 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 2: Is it Adam Brody? There are two Brody's, right, Adrian

1036
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,480
Brody and Adam Brody.

1037
00:56:09,519 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: It's Adam not Adrian. Yeah, okay, great, that's it.

1038
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 2: I just also mentioned I'm going to see Soul Coughing

1039
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,400
this weekend in Brooklyn.

1040
00:56:20,519 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh you told me with your friends from the from

1041
00:56:23,559 --> 00:56:27,559
high school? Was it? Yep? I have a very boring

1042
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,760
set of movies I watched. I'm really into the new

1043
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,159
season of Slow Horses. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you watch

1044
00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:35,840
that too? Yeah, so good.

1045
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 2: Everyone should watch that. That's like, actually really good television

1046
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:40,719
for everybody.

1047
00:56:41,159 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: My only complain about it is that Gary Oldman isn't

1048
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,320
in it enough. He should be in it much more.

1049
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:50,159
Speaker 2: And also I love when he's so offensive. Yeah, you

1050
00:56:50,199 --> 00:56:51,400
should be more offensive.

1051
00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: He really embraces that role. Then I watched Logan Lucky.

1052
00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,199
Do you know this movie?

1053
00:56:59,519 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 2: Nope?

1054
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:06,119
Speaker 1: So Logan Lucky is Stephen what's his name? Sondberg, the

1055
00:57:06,199 --> 00:57:08,639
director who did Like Ocean's Eleven and all that. This

1056
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,840
is very similar has Chatting, Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and

1057
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,559
Daniel Craig is in it. He's actually quite funny. It's

1058
00:57:15,559 --> 00:57:18,679
basically like Ocean's eleven, but in a hillbilly sense. I

1059
00:57:18,719 --> 00:57:22,679
guess say it and then you know, I didn't think

1060
00:57:22,719 --> 00:57:25,559
i'd like it, and I did. It's okay, it's not great.

1061
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 2: Oh and it's old.

1062
00:57:28,679 --> 00:57:32,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not so old. Someone who just came up

1063
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:34,320
with Bye Bye Bertie is calling a movie from twenty

1064
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:39,559
seventeen old. Then I watched too, Believe it or not,

1065
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:45,199
Christian Bale westerns Hostiles, which which was a very well

1066
00:57:45,199 --> 00:57:48,239
made movie, a bit of a downer if you're into

1067
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,320
like a lot of shooting in a Western, that's not

1068
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,119
for you. It's more of a moody rumination, you know,

1069
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:58,239
on violence. And the other one was three ten from Yuma,

1070
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:04,840
which is an old one, a remake with Russell Crowe

1071
00:58:05,639 --> 00:58:09,000
to Ums sorry, three ten two with Russell Crowe. I

1072
00:58:09,039 --> 00:58:12,119
think an excellent western. And that's that's all I did.

1073
00:58:14,679 --> 00:58:17,239
I will have a longer report. I've been I've been

1074
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,199
working on watching a bunch of Michael Kine movies from

1075
00:58:20,239 --> 00:58:22,519
the sixties. So but I need to save that and

1076
00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:25,800
then I will have a more in depth report on that.

1077
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, so hey, this is good.

1078
00:58:28,719 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Quickly, I want to say I have a new

1079
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,119
book coming out, the Rise of Blue and on. If

1080
00:58:33,159 --> 00:58:35,679
anyone is interested, they can pre order on all the

1081
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,079
sites that allow that, Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and so on.

1082
00:58:40,079 --> 00:58:43,480
That's all I have, right, anything else, you know? All right?

1083
00:58:43,599 --> 00:58:46,599
Speaker 2: Well, but I do, I do. We We got so

1084
00:58:46,719 --> 00:58:50,559
much email. I'm like, not sure anyone else will have

1085
00:58:50,599 --> 00:58:53,119
anything to send, but if you do, it's always appreciated.

1086
00:58:54,199 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for the reminder that's at radio at the

1087
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,239
Federalist dot com. I always forget it at the end,

1088
00:58:59,239 --> 00:59:00,719
and I think it's helped. Well. We seem to get

1089
00:59:00,719 --> 00:59:04,159
more email when I do. Nice speaking to you, Molly.

1090
00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:06,800
We'll see the rest of you next week. Until them

00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,239
be lovers of freedom and anxious for the fraid kids.

1092
00:59:10,639 --> 00:59:12,679
Speaker 2: I don't know what's wrong with these kids do today?

1093
00:59:14,039 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: Kids who can understand anything they say.

1094
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:19,239
Speaker 2: Kids they a
